00:27:25cedar grove looks like it was once a thriving country town once not anymore
00:27:32or i guess the bad water story isn't such a big secret after all
00:28:05the reports dated january 5th of this year
00:28:08yeah that's the one and it shows nothing wrong with the groundwater
00:28:13well thanks so much for looking i guess i'll let my kids know they can drink the water again
00:28:18the report on file with the department of water is perfectly clean
00:28:21water is pure as rain surprise surprise i gotta run down carl timmons
00:28:28pretty amazing the way you get people to open up
00:28:32i forgot how exciting this part of it all is putting the pieces together admit it laura you miss it
00:28:38and this is what you are trained to do it's in your blood
00:28:42you want to take point this time of course it's in my blood too
00:28:51it's in your blood too
00:28:58it's in your blood too
00:29:14i've got a few questions for you sure fire away you've closed on quite a few deals over the last
00:29:18few months well i am the only realtor in these parts we're a dying breed we've interviewed residents
00:29:25on the south side of cedar grove transactions where you've represented both the buyer and the seller
00:29:30dual agency is legal in the state of california on 35 transactions you don't think that's pushing the
00:29:35ethical boundaries a little no i believe everybody was satisfied didn't you tell people there were
00:29:40problems with the ground law look when stories come up about bad water even if they're just
00:29:45rumors i have a duty to be up front with all parties disclosure laws are very clear about that
00:29:49but you were being more than up front weren't you you showed them a toxicity report from the
00:29:54department of water or should i say on the forged letterhead from the department of water wait a
00:29:59minute what are you saying are you saying the water was poison i think you know it's not mr lycar
00:30:04look i'll admit i had some pretty good commissions last year but i saw that report i mean hell
00:30:09i even sold my own house outside of town i thought i was doing everyone a favor the buyers you
00:30:15represented didn't have any qualms about purchasing property with water problems a big corporation
00:30:20doesn't really care about water what big corporation would that be mr lycar all right i admit i made
00:30:28some money but i was very upfront with everybody if they didn't want to buy and sell then they didn't
00:30:33have to sell i mean i don't know what the hell you people want from me i thought i was
00:30:37doing everyone
00:30:38a favor now if you'll excuse me i've got some work to do the part i don't understand is why
00:30:49was amelia
00:30:49even interested in this story people cheated out of their homes maybe you don't find that kind
00:30:56of story compelling in hollywood yeah yeah yeah but they were all paid i mean yes it was deceptive
00:31:01but a real estate scam story there a dime a dozen it was my fault
00:31:07she wanted to drop the story but i told her something smelled fishy i told her to dig deeper
00:31:14i got her killed no you can't blame yourself meredith oh yes i can
00:31:24my head hurts oh don't you have some boyfriend to go home to or something
00:31:32in between men at the moment

00:31:50can you imagine if i'd had children they wouldn't have stood a chance
00:31:57what about you i expected you to be married by now oh i don't know i think honestly it had
00:32:03a lot
00:32:03to do with amelia you were pretty frustrated when she quit school and married rick no i was angry
00:32:11but now i understand what a difficult choice it was for amelia

00:39:05MUSIC PLAYS
00:39:37MUSIC CONTINUES
00:40:24MUSIC CONTINUES
00:40:27So let's report this to the police.
00:40:29Come on, Laura. We dig deeper.
00:40:31The police aren't going to find this guy.
00:40:33Detective Maloney might.
00:40:34Oh, that would be the easy way out.
00:40:35Let somebody else uncover the truth.
00:40:37We both know what it was.
00:40:39No, not for certain.
00:40:39The guy could have killed you.
00:40:41Gorillas shot at me in Nicaragua, Laura.
00:40:44Mobsters threatened to break my legs in Chicago.
00:40:46You expect me to be afraid of some hick in a pickup truck in Cedar Grove?
00:40:50Maybe you should go back to reading press releases and calling it news.
00:40:56You were scared, weren't you?
00:40:58No.
00:41:04Where were you today? The polo lounge?
00:41:09I tried to chase down Carl Timmons.
00:41:11Apparently he's on sick leave from the Department of Water, but he's never at home.
00:41:15Interesting.
00:41:16Mm-hmm.
00:41:17And then I made a man.
00:41:18Amelia was doing research on him.
00:41:20Peter Bergstrom.
00:41:21Peter Bergstrom?
00:41:23Why?
00:41:24You know him?
00:41:25Well, of course.
00:41:27Bergstrom's helped build Southern California.
00:41:30The piece that got me fired off the Times was an expose of corruption in the Bergstrom Empire.
00:41:35Amelia had a box full of information on him.
00:41:37I hate that family.
00:41:38Peter's an irresponsible playboy, but his father was cold, hard, vicious.
00:41:43He'd stop at nothing to get what he wanted.
00:41:46So what's the connection to Cedar Grove?
00:41:48Isn't Bergstrom's new development in Summit Park?
00:41:51Uh-huh.
00:41:55Laura Peterson.
00:41:58Yes, yes I did.
00:42:03I see.
00:42:04No, no, don't send a squad car.
00:42:06I'll come to you.
00:42:07I know where it is.
00:42:09I'm leaving right now.
00:42:13I just found Carl Timmons.
00:42:37Carl Timmons.
00:42:55Carl Timmons.
00:42:57Kind of fitting for a man in the water business.
00:43:00He drowned?
00:43:01Tell me it was an accident.
00:43:03Not judging by the finger marks on his throat.
00:43:06Looks like Carl was hiding out here.
00:43:08His grandparents' old house.
00:43:09Neighbor kicked on him.
00:43:11How did you know Carl Timmons?
00:43:13I didn't.
00:43:14There are four messages from you in his voicemail.
00:43:16If you listen to him, then you know I never met him.
00:43:19Why don't you quit the games?
00:43:20Because whatever's going on here, these people are playing for keeps.
00:43:23This isn't some cute Hollywood divorce story.
00:43:25These people are killers.
00:43:26I'd be open to an exchange of information.
00:43:28I'd be open to throwing your ass in jail for obstructing a homicide investigation.
00:43:32How's that sound?
00:43:33Sounds like you wouldn't get the information you need.
00:44:01Carl Timmons created this report showing high levels of arsenic...
00:44:04in the drinking water in Cedar Grove.
00:44:06Cedar Grove was part of his territory, right?
00:44:08It was.
00:44:10The real report from the Department of Water shows that the drinking water is perfectly fine.
00:44:14So he faked a report.
00:44:16Which got floated out among the residents of Cedar Grove.
00:44:18And they all panicked.
00:44:20And everybody sold cheap.
00:44:22Who'd they sell to?
00:44:24Three different companies.
00:44:26Storage facility group, a solar power company, and an investment group out in Nevada.
00:44:33This is what Timmons was killed over?
00:44:36And a million more, too.
00:44:41This is the trading part.
00:44:45This is the trading part.
00:44:46Well...
00:44:47We found some interesting things in the victim's heart, Josh.
00:44:50Emilio's.
00:44:51What?
00:44:51Our name was Emilio.
00:44:55I'm sorry.
00:44:56Really.
00:45:00There's a whole set of pictures of Hudson's taken in and around Cedar Grove.
00:45:06I recognize some of them.
00:45:08You can keep those.
00:45:09I've got copies.
00:45:09Also, there's a couple of things in this notepad we just can't seem to figure out.
00:45:14Let me see it.
00:45:22This one's a date, October 22nd, 1989.
00:45:28You weren't very nice to me the first time we met.
00:45:37Well, this one is a strange, R-C-D-S-G-S-8, I have no idea what that means.
00:45:45And this one, this says Summit Park kill fee, three million dollars.
00:45:53Summit Park, that's nowhere near here.
00:46:07I know.
00:46:08Oh, careful.
00:46:10Thanks.
00:46:12And he says, what do you mean I'm Irish?
00:46:20Listen, I know you're a reporter and all, but please be careful.
00:46:24I will, I promise.
00:46:26And if you think of anything else, call me, don't be a hero.
00:46:29These are bad people.
00:46:39Laura.
00:46:42Sorry if I was rough on you earlier.
00:46:44I'm a big girl, I can handle it.
00:46:48Keep this to yourself.
00:46:51Your friend Amelia,
00:46:53it was murder.
00:46:59Thank you, Roy.
00:47:03Thank you, Roy.
00:47:40Today we confirmed what everybody's been guessing all along.
00:47:43The storybook romance that had all of America talking is officially Tinseltown history.
00:47:49That's right, kids.
00:47:50The lawyers have cited irreconcilable differences.
00:47:53The publicists are spinning their stories.
00:47:55And Hollywood's royal couple is officially going their separate ways.
00:47:59And that's the Inside Buzz for today.
00:48:10Today we...
00:48:12Yeah, October 22nd, 1989.
00:48:14That's what she'd written down.
00:48:19Mm-hmm.
00:48:21Listen, Meredith, I gotta go.
00:48:22I'm still finishing tomorrow's piece.
00:48:25Yeah.
00:48:26Alright, let me know what you find.
00:48:30Bye.
00:48:38And Hollywood's royal couple is officially going their separate ways.
00:48:43Hey, where you been all day?
00:48:45Oh, uh, working something.
00:48:47What?
00:48:48What, you got a hot story?
00:48:51Pretty hot, yeah.
00:48:57Hey.
00:49:00You've been acting kind of weird since your friend died.
00:49:06Uh, you okay?
00:49:11Todd, do you like what we do?
00:49:14Do you think it's important?
00:49:16Well, I definitely like it.
00:49:18Important?
00:49:18I don't know.
00:49:20But listen, people love our stuff.
00:49:22Mm-hmm.
00:49:24I have a friend, an old journalism professor.
00:49:27She says,
00:49:28Serious journalism produces serious consequences.
00:49:32Am I a joke?
00:49:33Alright, listen, it's a big world out there.
00:49:36Lots of bad stuff happening.
00:49:38Now, I'm not saying we don't need to know about it all.
00:49:40But all that bad stuff needs a balance.
00:49:43And that's us.
00:49:45We're part of the balance.
00:49:46But do you feel good about what we do?
00:49:48Yeah, I do.
00:49:51The question is, do you?
00:49:56Hey, stole your cookies.
00:49:57Want one?
00:49:58Sure.
00:49:59But my cookies?
00:50:00Yeah, I found them on your desk.
00:50:02Where are they from?
00:50:03Well, uh, I don't know.
00:50:05No, no.
00:50:08Put them down, Todd.
00:50:10Carefully.
00:50:11Wait, you don't want to share it with me?
00:50:13Put it down!
00:50:16Put it down!
00:50:39It's an explosive device.
00:50:41Not very sophisticated, but powerful enough.
00:50:44How did it get in here?
00:50:45Delivery guy dropped it off.
00:50:46We'll see if we can pull anything off the security cameras.
00:50:49Roy, who's doing this?
00:50:50Whoever they are, they mean business.
00:50:54Back off a little while, Laura.
00:50:57Give me time to do my job.
00:50:58They've killed Amelia, they went after Meredith, and now they've tried to kill me.
00:51:02You know what that tells me?
00:51:04I'm afraid to ask.
00:51:05It tells me we're getting closer to the truth.
00:51:08Yeah, well, there's also something called the Freedom of Information Act.
00:51:12Those records are public documents, and I'm officially requesting them.
00:51:16Thank you so much for your help.
00:51:19Idiot.
00:51:21Okay, this RCDS GS-8.
00:51:24GS-8 is a government pay scale.
00:51:27RCDS indicates a reserve county deputy sheriff.
00:51:31But what has that got to do with any of this?
00:51:34Not a clue, but I've requested county personnel records from the Cedar Grove area in the late 1980s,
00:51:40right around the date Amelia would have written down.
00:51:42Well, Bergstrom has something definitely to do with this.
00:51:47Summit Park kill fee, $3 million.
00:51:49That's a hefty penalty.
00:51:51Kill fee?
00:51:52When he made the deal to get approval for our Rancho Estates,
00:51:55he agreed to pay Summit Park $3 million.
00:51:58But it didn't go through.
00:51:59But the deal's going through, right?
00:52:00I mean, you saw the model.
00:52:01Yeah, yeah, he's been on the news all week.
00:52:03The Grand Slam opening's next week.
00:52:06This is weird.
00:52:07I don't know.
00:52:08And I still can't find any mention of that date anywhere, either.
00:52:11Although, I swear, I've seen the...
00:52:13Hey, guess what I...
00:52:14Sorry.
00:52:15Oh, no, no, it's okay.
00:52:16Did you find something?
00:52:17Yeah, there's a last-minute emergency zoning commission
00:52:20meeting tonight in Cedar Grove.
00:52:21I found it up on their website.
00:52:23It might be interesting,
00:52:24but everybody up there is going to know who we are by now.
00:52:26They don't know me.
00:52:27You're willing to sit through a zoning commission meeting?
00:52:30Oh, my God, yes.
00:52:31Can I?
00:52:32No, it's too dangerous.
00:52:32Of course you can.
00:52:34You're a journalist, aren't you, Christy?
00:52:35Absolutely, Professor.
00:52:42We shouldn't involve her.
00:52:43She's just a kid.
00:52:45You and Amelia were both kids when you did your best work.
00:52:51And, therefore, my client, Soul Green Technologies, requests a variance to rezone their land
00:52:58from agricultural to commercial.
00:53:01Those in favor?
00:53:04Opposed?
00:53:06The chair breaks the tie in favor.
00:53:10Mr. Lycar, the Cedar Grove Zoning Commission, grant your clients discretionary approval, A1 to C3.
00:53:19We are adjourned.
00:53:23Thanks.
00:53:28Thank you very much, Floyd.
00:53:30I really appreciate the expedited service.
00:53:32But, uh, you've got to tell me who the girl in the back is, sir.
00:53:35It's not often you get spectators at zoning meetings, right?
00:53:38It's nothing, Jack.
00:53:40Some kind of civics class assignment.
00:53:42Gosh, girls didn't look like that when I went to school, huh?
00:53:46You're talking about your class assignment, huh?
00:53:48I want to buy a coffee.
00:54:02Mrs. Sweeney, do you mind if I ask you a couple of questions?
00:54:05Oh, I just really want to get home.
00:54:07It's pretty tough tonight, huh?
00:54:10Does Floyd and Nathan always run his meetings like that?
00:54:12Uh, lately, anyway.
00:54:14Oh, they're ganging up on you, huh?
00:54:18Well, it doesn't help that Jack Lycar has two relatives on the board.
00:54:22Really?
00:54:23Mm-hmm.
00:54:23Which ones?
00:54:25That's his brother-in-law on the left, and the other one's his uncle.
00:54:29Making Floyd Niven the swing vote on these rezonings?
00:54:33That's the way it's been for the last three meetings, or at least whenever Lycar shows up.
00:54:38Tell me, this company, Soul Green Technologies, do they ever give up the names of their principals?
00:54:44Oh, yeah, their board of directors is listed right here in the petition to rezone.
00:54:48Listen, good luck with your class.
00:54:51Why does Soul Green need all these different plots?
00:54:54So they get involved.
00:54:55This is great, so we've memorized all these real user jobs.
00:54:57This isn't about some civics class, is it?
00:54:5917!
00:55:01Silence.
00:55:01Silence.
00:55:01Oh.
00:55:03Twenty-five!
00:55:10Okay.
00:55:12These are Lycar's recent rezonings.
00:55:15Someone calls out a number, the only number of jobs is something.
00:55:18Sorry about that, I got it.
00:55:20All I know is that last year Floyd Niven sure couldn't afford a Rolex.
00:55:36All these threads, Peter Bergstrom, Carlton and Cedar Grove, Amelia's notes, nothing fits together.
00:55:42There's hundreds of names in these sheriff's employees' records.
00:55:46Two questions we haven't answered yet.
00:55:48What does the October 22nd date mean, and why was Amelia interested in this story?
00:55:52What was she doing at a derelict cemetery?
00:55:54Three questions.
00:55:56I got the names of the board of directors for Soul Green Technologies.
00:55:59Oh, goody, more names.
00:56:01I also nabbed these maps from the zoning commission.
00:56:04Nice work.
00:56:06Don't they usually put those windmills in long rows?
00:56:08How valuable can the land be if...
00:56:12Wait a second, wait a second.
00:56:14Come here.
00:56:17Look at this.
00:56:19Look at this.
00:56:22It's all one contiguous property, look at that.
00:56:26Look at that.
00:56:41It's all one contiguous property, and it's all one contiguous property, and it's all one contiguous property, and it's all
00:56:43one contiguous property, and it's all one contiguous property, and it's all one contiguous property, and it's all one contiguous
00:56:46property, and it's all one contiguous property, and it's all one contiguous property, and it's all one contiguous property, and
00:56:47it's all one contiguous property, and it's all one contiguous property, and it's all one contiguous property, and it's all
00:56:47one contiguous property, and it's all one contiguous property, and it's all one contiguous property, and it's all one contiguous
00:56:48property, and it's all one contiguous property, and it's all one contiguous property, and it's all one contiguous property, and
00:56:50it's all one contiguous property, and it's all one contiguous property, and it's all one contiguous property, and it's all
00:56:54one contiguous property, and it's all one cont
00:57:02This is where it happened.
00:57:05I did this.
00:57:08Whoever rigged that gas tank, that's who's to blame, not you.
00:57:12There's a cemetery.
00:57:14I hate ghosts.
00:57:32Hey, look at this.
00:57:36It says keep out.
00:57:37I'm going in.
00:58:03This is Dottelmeyer.
00:58:18Jeremiah Dottelmeyer.
00:58:23There's a water pumping plant here.
00:58:25Maybe she was looking for Carl Timmons here.
00:58:29What are you doing?
00:58:31Meredith, I'd like to introduce the vice president of Soul Green Technologies, Jeremiah Dottelmeyer.
00:58:38You're kidding.
00:58:40And here's treasurer Marianne Jacobson, Richard Goodman, Peter Tippett.
00:58:44He's the president.
00:58:46They're all here.
00:58:49The entire board of directors.
00:58:52One of those companies is made up of ghost directors.
00:58:55Maybe all of them are.
00:58:56And that makes Jack Leichardt the only real person involved.
00:59:00So then he isn't just representing teams of buyers.
00:59:03He is the buyer.
00:59:05But how'd he get the money?
00:59:06He'd have to get bank loans and down payments.
00:59:08Wait, wait, wait.
00:59:09What if they've, you know, done something to this?
00:59:11How could they?
00:59:12I was right here the whole time.
00:59:13I know, but I...
00:59:14Meredith, they want us to be scared.
00:59:16You know what I say?
00:59:17Let's go get them.
00:59:23All right.
00:59:26Let's go get them.
01:00:11If Leichardt's running three different companies, he's got to be hiding something.
01:00:15It's an old trick for assembling a large tract of land.
01:00:18Otherwise, if people know that you need their land to complete your property, they'll hold
01:00:22out for a high price.
01:00:29So Leichardt must have paid off Timmons for the fake water report.
01:00:32Did he kill Timmons?
01:00:33Leichardt hardly seems tired.
01:00:35Wait, wait, wait.
01:00:35Turn that up.
01:00:36There's something about El Rancho Estates.
01:00:37What?
01:00:38Peter Bergstrom announced unexpectedly today that he's pulling the multi-million dollar
01:00:42housing project out of Summit Park.
01:00:45City officials in Summit Park are threatening legal action.
01:00:48But Bergstrom insists El Rancho Estates will be built instead on a large tract of land in
01:00:54Cedar Grove in San Bernardino County.
01:00:56Now, trading in local stocks was moderate today.
01:00:59Leichardt's left.
01:01:01It makes no sense.
01:01:03Bergstrom's got millions invested in Summit Park.
01:01:06Survey expenses, environmental impact studies.
01:01:09Plus the three million dollar kill fee.
01:01:12Why would Bergstrom allow his original deal to fall apart?
01:01:15Dropping to Jack Leichardt's left?
01:01:19How much money would be on the table to deal this up?
01:01:22Hundreds of millions.
01:01:26People are falling all over themselves to do business with Peter Bergstrom.
01:01:30Why would he end up with Jack Leichardt?
01:01:35What's wrong?
01:01:37Maybe nothing.
01:01:38Do me a favor, we'll move.
01:01:40Pull over, let this guy pass.
01:01:42Is that the guy who tried to run you off the road?
01:01:45I think so.
01:01:46Can you get his plate number?
01:01:49No plates on the front.
01:02:17You are the boss.
01:02:20We can make it.
01:02:25Laura!
01:02:28We can make it.
01:02:37Laura!
01:02:41I like her.
01:02:43It's me, Rhys.
01:02:46No, I didn't.
01:02:48I got away.
01:03:02I mean it, Laura.
01:03:03We stopped this now.
01:03:04How can you say that?
01:03:05Let the detectives handle it.
01:03:07Meredith, this is crazy.
01:03:08This isn't you.
01:03:09What about everything you taught me?
01:03:10Excuse me for being human.
01:03:11It's been a long time since I've been nearly killed twice in one week.
01:03:15You can't just quit.
01:03:16This is what we do.
01:03:17Look at yourself.
01:03:18Look at me.
01:03:19A celebrity hacked newscaster and a washed up reporter teaching at a second rate school.
01:03:24Who are we kidding?
01:03:25We can delude ourselves most of the time, but out there it's about to get us killed.
01:03:28You're not washed up.
01:03:32I've been in a downward spiral for a decade.
01:03:34You wanted to know why I'm so nasty?
01:03:36That's your answer.
01:03:37I was unhirable doing the one thing I love to do, so I had to settle for this.
01:03:44Laura, you're not 20 years old.
01:03:46Why would you ever listen to what I said?
01:03:48You're a successful, independent woman with a great career.
01:03:52Go back to your life.
01:03:55Enjoy it while you've got it.
01:03:57Amelia's dead.
01:03:59Nothing we do is ever going to bring her back.
01:04:23So cozy.
01:04:24You're going to get to school.
01:04:26You're going to get to school.
01:04:28You're going to go.
01:04:28You're going to go.
01:04:28Look at what's this.
01:04:29That's so funny.
01:04:31You're going to run and go.
01:04:32Oh.
01:04:33Now they're all ready.
01:04:34And so now you make sure you get to school one time.
01:04:38And I'm just going to check with Daddy to see if dinner's ready.
01:04:41Okay?
01:04:41Right back seat.
01:04:44Bye, guys.
01:04:48How's it coming?
01:04:49Not a total loss.
01:04:52Smells good.
01:04:55How's Gloria?
01:04:56Sad.
01:04:57Doing better though, I think.
01:05:03Thanks for coming around.
01:05:04It's good for her.
01:05:06I'll be here whenever she needs me.
01:05:11What's that?
01:05:13Oh, uh, Amelia stashed stuff all over the house.
01:05:16That was, uh, tucked in behind the furnace, I think.
01:05:26Rick?
01:05:51Okay.
01:05:53I think we're ready.
01:05:54Deborah Varner.
01:05:56Deputy J.R. Oxley.
01:05:58What?
01:05:59This is it.
01:06:00This woman, Deborah Varner, she was driving Peter Bergstrom's sports car in Cedar Grove.
01:06:04The sheriff, his name was J.R. Oxley.
01:06:06So?
01:06:07But how does it connect?
01:06:08Bergstrom wasn't even there.
01:06:09It's got to connect somehow, doesn't it?
01:06:11Am I supposed to know what you're talking about?
01:06:12I'm sorry, Rick.
01:06:13Can I check on the spaghetti?
01:06:19Oh, uh, hey.
01:06:21Is Meredith here?
01:06:22I haven't seen her.
01:06:24Guess who was Reserve County Deputy Sheriff from 1985 to 92?
01:06:29Jack Lycar.
01:06:30So was J.R. Oxley.
01:06:34Both of them sheriffs the same time Peter Bergstrom's girlfriend was killed in an accident.
01:06:38Then, years later, Oxley dies and his widow is pressured to sell her land to Jack Lycar.
01:06:43Who's already bought up most of the land in Cedar Grove?
01:06:45Which just happens to be where Peter Bergstrom suddenly decides to build a huge housing development.
01:06:50What does this all have to do with Amelia's murder?
01:06:55Let me come.
01:06:56Absolutely not.
01:06:57Oh, come on.
01:06:57I'm in on this.
01:06:58You can't just shut me out.
01:07:00I want to be you one day.
01:07:02Believe me, you don't want to be me.
01:07:05I don't want to be you.
01:07:06I want to be as good as you.
01:07:09Show me how.
01:07:12You better follow orders a hell of a lot better than I did at your age.
01:07:16Yes, ma'am.
01:07:40Looks like Lycar's still at work.
01:07:41So he is.
01:07:44This could be interesting.
01:07:45What are you going to do?
01:07:47Watch Lycar's face when we show him our hand.
01:08:01Hello?
01:08:01Sorry we're closed, but...
01:08:04Oh, it's you again.
01:08:06Yep, me again.
01:08:07You still working on that civics class assignment, little lady?
01:08:11This is not a good time for me.
01:08:13I'm shutting down the business.
01:08:14That must have been a big check you got from Bergstrom & Associates.
01:08:17El Rancho Estates is a huge project.
01:08:19Yeah, it'll certainly be good for Cedar Grove.
01:08:22Interesting article here.
01:08:23I wonder if you saw it.
01:08:24It's from October 22nd, 1989.
01:08:26It tells about the death of Peter Bergstrom's girlfriend.
01:08:31It's funny.
01:08:32You were deputy county sheriff back then.
01:08:34Yeah, well, I wish I could be of more help.
01:08:36If you'll excuse me.
01:08:37If not, you might remember it.
01:08:39Especially since you were the deputy who filed the accident report.
01:08:46Is that true? Were you bluffing?
01:08:48Sometimes it's not what you know.
01:08:49It's what they think you know.
01:08:52So you lied to get the truth.
01:08:54Something like that.
01:09:09I still can't reach Meredith.
01:09:11Maybe she's following some lead.
01:09:20She's here.
01:09:21Mrs. Oxley?
01:09:22Mrs. Oxley, we need to talk to you.
01:09:25Please just go away.
01:09:26We need to talk to you about your husband.
01:09:28We know that he was badly burned in a propane explosion.
01:09:30It was a terrible accident.
01:09:31There's nothing to talk about.
01:09:32I don't believe it was an accident at all.
01:09:35I think you told Amelia Moore the truth.
01:09:37About how J.R. was murdered.
01:09:39And what really went on that night of the car wreck, didn't you?
01:09:41Look what happened to her.
01:09:46.
01:10:01J.R. was such a handsome man.
01:10:04If you could have seen what that fire had done to him.
01:10:08Mrs. Oxley, when did you learn the truth?
01:10:12A couple of months ago,
01:10:14JR's hospital bills were taken, everything we had.
01:10:17And then he told me about this money he put away.
01:10:20$20,000.
01:10:22Told me to pay the doctors with it.
01:10:24Did he tell you where he got it?
01:10:25Jack Likar gave it to him.
01:10:27To keep quiet about that nut.
01:10:31It's okay.
01:10:32Just tell us whatever you told Amelia.
01:10:36JR was first on the scene, so he called it in.
01:10:39The girl was dead.
01:10:42But she wasn't the one driving, it was a young man.
01:10:45Drunk out of his mind.
01:10:47Before JR could call it in,
01:10:50Jack Likar shows up and pulls rank.
01:10:52He always was a weasel, that one.
01:10:55Likar talks to the young man for a while
01:10:57and then he tells JR he'll handle everything.
01:10:59Likar took the dead girl's body and put it in the driver's seat.
01:11:02And then told JR to look the other way if he wanted to keep his job.
01:11:06How did that news photo get taken?
01:11:09Some local guy from the paper just got one shot
01:11:13before Likar chased him off and then he kicked JR out of there too.
01:11:18And what happened after that?
01:11:19The next day the newspaper comes out saying the girl was driving all alone.
01:11:23Well that ain't right.
01:11:24And JR's pretty upset as you can imagine.
01:11:27And a couple of days later,
01:11:28Likar gives JR $20,000 to keep quiet.
01:11:32They were just helping some young rich kid out of a jam.
01:11:35That's how Likar put it.
01:11:37Well times were tough.
01:11:39JR was only a part-time deputy so he didn't get much of a pension.
01:11:44But he didn't touch a penny.
01:11:46He called it blood money.
01:11:49Until he didn't have a choice.
01:11:54When Likar came around buying up property,
01:11:57did he offer you a fair price?
01:11:59Oh it didn't matter.
01:12:01My JR stood up to him.
01:12:02No way we'd sell.
01:12:04He said he was tired of Likar and all his lies.
01:12:08And then less than two weeks later, JR is in a burn ward.
01:12:12After someone broke the valve off that propane tank.
01:12:18JR was a good man.
01:12:22Mrs. Oxley.
01:12:25This is very important.
01:12:27Who was driving the sports car that night?
01:12:30Did your husband tell you?
01:12:34It was Peter Bergstrom, wasn't it?
01:12:57You know, I bet Likar's been blackmailing Bergstrom for all these years.
01:13:01Until he was ready for the big payday, forcing Bergstrom to move the new development to Cedar Grove.
01:13:09That's Professor Backman, isn't it?
01:13:12Yeah.
01:13:14Who's she with?
01:13:17Peter Bergstrom.
01:13:18I don't get it.
01:13:20That makes two of us.
01:13:23Maybe he has something to do with the university.
01:13:25You know, grants, foundations, that kind of thing.
01:13:27Somehow I don't think so.
01:13:29You have no idea what you're getting yourself involved with, Meredith.
01:13:32You can't pull off the tough guy act. You're not your father.
01:13:35When I wrote that expose on his business, he came after me with everything he had.
01:13:39Brought me down.
01:13:40My career, my marriage, your family owes me.
01:13:44You're the one who sent that woman after me.
01:13:46The one who got killed.
01:13:47I sent her to finish what I started.
01:13:49Your family thinks you can buy your way out of any problem?
01:13:52Well, fine.
01:13:53Time to buy me.
01:14:12There has to be some kind of reasonable explanation for this, right?
01:14:16Meredith wrote an expose on the Bergstroms.
01:14:18She would have known the date Deborah Garner died.
01:14:20Why would she lie to us?
01:14:21Because she wanted to know where the money was, what the scam was.
01:14:24She needed us to help figure that out.
01:14:26And Amelia.

01:14:31The one thing she taught us more than any other.
