00:15:28Now.
00:15:31As you know,
00:15:31all right.
00:15:32I didn't.
00:15:33Bye.
00:15:33All right.
00:15:34All right.
00:15:34I'll finish up today's spot, and you get that footage downloaded, okay?
00:15:37Sweet.
00:15:37Financial packages.
00:15:39El Rancho Estates really represents the peak of my career as a designer and as a builder.
00:15:44Each custom Rancho Estate home has a beautiful, dramatic, sweeping view over Summit Park.
00:15:50The first of these homes will be available for occupancy as soon as this spring,
00:15:54but we're not talking about cracker boxes here.
00:15:56My workers are craftsmen, artisans, and your El Rancho Custom Estate...
00:16:00Sorry, Cam, I got caught up in a staff meeting.
00:16:03You're a hard woman to track down, Ms. Peterson.
00:16:06Who are you? What are you doing in here?
00:16:09Looking for answers.
00:16:11Detective Roy Maloney, San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department.
00:16:15Why were you following me?
00:16:17Why were you running away?
00:16:18Call me crazy, but I have this irrational fear of strange men in parking garages.
00:16:23I'm investigating the death of your friend, Amelia Moore.
00:16:27What kind of detective are you?
00:16:29Homicide.
00:16:31So Amelia was murdered?
00:16:33Maybe I could ask the questions.
00:16:39From what I gather, you're Amelia Moore's closest friend.
00:16:42Used to be. Don't know how close we were recently.
00:16:44What does that mean?
00:16:45Nothing really. It's just that we didn't talk very much anymore.
00:16:47Because in watching you at the funeral, it seemed that you and Mr. Moore were very close.
00:16:52Is that a question, detective?
00:16:53I can frame it as a question if you like.
00:16:55Are you and Rick Moore sleeping together?
00:16:58Are you crazy?
00:17:00Amelia Moore died under what I consider to be extremely suspicious circumstances.
00:17:04So the first place I look for a motive is sex or money.
00:17:07Get out of here.
00:17:09I'm not done yet.
00:17:11And you haven't answered the question.
00:17:13No, Rick Moore is a friend, that's all.
00:17:15What else would you like to know?
00:17:17Do you have any idea what this means?
00:17:26This is gibberish.
00:17:27It's shorthand.
00:17:28It's some weird kind of shorthand we've never seen.
00:17:31Why would I know what it is?
00:17:33Because we found it with your friend's things.
00:17:36I can't help you, detective.
00:17:47You're a very bad liar, Miss Peterson.
00:17:51We'll be talking again.
00:18:10All right, let's get these organized according to closing dates.
00:18:14And see if we can find a pattern.
00:18:18Hi.
00:18:19You gonna make this a habit?
00:18:20I got something.
00:18:22A lead on the story Amelia was working.
00:18:24It's the name.
00:18:25Carl Timmons.
00:18:26I think he works at the Department of Water.
00:18:28Where did you get this?
00:18:29From a detective working Amelia's case.
00:18:32What is it?
00:18:33It was written in her notebook in shorthand.
00:18:35Our shorthand.
00:18:36A system we made up so nobody could ever read our notes.
00:18:40What a great idea.
00:18:41Laura, this is Christy McDermott.
00:18:43You'll be seeing her byline one day soon.
00:18:45Christy, this is Laura Peterson.
00:18:48Nice to meet you.
00:18:49I've seen you on TV.
00:18:50You're great.
00:18:51Thanks.
00:18:54I spent the day at the San Bernardino tax assessor's office.
00:18:59Amelia had to sign for the records that she pulls.
00:19:01What are they?
00:19:02Changes in property ownership.
00:19:04They're all around the same area in a place called Cedar Grove.
00:19:07Amelia died just outside Cedar Grove.
00:19:09It was a story.
00:19:12It has to be.
00:19:14Amelia's dead because of something she was investigating.
00:19:17We should take all this to the police.
00:19:19We could.
00:19:21It's not much, but it's something.
00:19:27Or, yes, we could work the story.
00:19:33Uncover the truth about what Amelia was investigating and how she died.
00:19:38It's exactly what Amelia would have ordered.
00:19:43I'll never crack open her attorney.
00:19:45He's already famous.
00:19:46No way he wants this fat face on TV.
00:19:48Of course you schmooze the secretary.
00:19:51So what if he's a guy?
00:19:52Come on, Todd.
00:19:53Take one for the team.
00:19:55What do you mean he's straight?
00:19:56Nobody's straight in Hollywood.
00:19:59Okay.
00:20:00Plan B.
00:20:01No, see if we can get an interview for tomorrow.
00:20:04Yeah.
00:20:04And make sure she knows we want to talk about the breakup.
00:20:06And don't tell him.
00:20:08Okay.
00:20:09Thanks.
00:20:10Tell him.
00:20:12Inquiring minds want to know.
00:20:14It's a living.
00:20:16Pea-brained inquiring minds.
00:20:18You're teaching, not working as a reporter somewhere, so get off your high horse.
00:20:21I'm teaching because no one wants serious journalism anymore.
00:20:24All they want is slapdash, soundbite, get-it-on-the-air breaking news.
00:20:28You're not working as a reporter because you kept on getting your employer's asses sued.
00:20:31I did what I had to do to get the truth.
00:20:33And the truth led you to getting fired and becoming a teacher.
00:20:36Instead of a reporter.
00:20:40I think I liked you better when you were an undergrad and hung on my every word.
00:20:54There it is.
00:20:55Seated Grove.
00:21:00All these sales are within the last eight months.
00:21:04Thirty-five properties.
00:21:07Looks like a ghost town now.
00:21:12Did you ever talk to Carl Timmons?
00:21:14I left him three voicemails.
00:21:16The last one was pretty firm.
00:21:21It doesn't exactly look like a hotbed of scandal, does it?
00:21:30All right.
00:21:30One of the sales was for 1602 Outlook Avenue.
00:21:34Left.
00:21:35Looks as if the owners are still living there.
00:21:46Yep, that's her.
00:21:47The reporter, lady.
00:21:50Am I telling us what you talked with her about?
00:21:52She just wanted to know why we sold the ranch.
00:21:54She didn't know about the water problem.
00:21:57There's a water problem?
00:21:58Well, we're not really supposed to talk about it until it's public, but the groundwater's polluted.
00:22:04We have to buy all our drinking water at the market.
00:22:07Can you imagine buying water?
00:22:09Has somebody bought the property?
00:22:11Yeah, nice people.
00:22:12They're letting us stay here rent-free until we close in our new place.
00:22:15Rent-free.
00:22:16Isn't that nice?
00:22:17Jack Liker, he's a realtor.
00:22:19He said they're putting up a storage facility.
00:22:21Great big one.
00:22:22I guess when the water's bad, the land's not much good for anything else.
00:23:08Yeah, you got it about right.
00:23:11Arsenic in the groundwater.
00:23:12So, when they offered to buy this place, we jumped at the chance.
00:23:16Very wise of you, Max.
00:23:18Who was the buyer?
00:23:19A company out of Sacramento.
00:23:20They're going to use it for them solar-powered windmill things.
00:23:26What was the name of the company?
00:23:30Soul Green Technologies.
00:23:33Yeah, that was the name.
00:23:34Did you actually see that water report?
00:23:36Well, we weren't supposed to keep it, you know?
00:23:40Everything was hush-hush.
00:23:43But I sort of stole a copy.
00:23:46Bernice here has been sick.
00:23:48And, uh, I didn't know whether it was related or not.
00:23:52I wanted some kind of proof in case I needed it for the insurance.
00:23:57Of course.
00:23:58Do you still have a copy?
00:24:01The other reporter, your friend?
00:24:03Is she the one who, uh, died in that car fire?
00:24:08Yes, her name was Amelia Moore.
00:24:11And we think that something she discovered out here may have led to her death.
00:24:14I thought it was an accident.
00:24:17That's what we're trying to find out.
00:24:19I told her I didn't have it.
00:24:22I-I just thought it-I thought it would just be trouble.
00:24:25I understand, Max, but it could be very important.
00:24:27Do you think she'd be alive if-if I dimmed it to her?
00:24:33Um, I don't know.
00:24:35All I know is that it could make a difference now.
00:24:37I should have known something was screwy.
00:24:40Nobody ever even came to look at the place.
00:24:44Jack Liker handled everything, acted like he was doing everybody a big favor.
00:24:59The toxicity studies.
00:25:01The supervisor of the project was Carl Timmons.
00:25:27The supervisor of the project was Carl Timmons.
00:25:36This is it? Yeah, 32220.
00:25:51Don't believe Loretta's at home.
00:25:54What's that?
00:25:55Mrs. Oxley.
00:25:56Haven't seen her all morning.
00:25:58Sometimes she walks up to the store.
00:26:00Sometimes she goes off for a visit.
00:26:02Mrs. Oxley has only been here a couple of months since selling her farm, isn't that right?
00:26:06Yeah, she's one of the short timers.
00:26:09Husband got burned up in a fire.
00:26:13Say, don't I know you?
00:26:15You're the TV lady.
00:26:17The inside buzz girl.
00:26:20Guilty.
00:26:21That kind of show had been around when I was young.
00:26:23I probably would have been on there.
00:26:26I was quite the little starlet.
00:26:29Oh, yeah.
00:26:32Producers, directors, writers.
00:26:34I had my pick.
00:26:35I can see why.
00:26:36Of course, times were different then.
00:26:39A girl with a reputation had a harder time.
00:26:43I'm sorry.
00:26:43I just, I'm wondering if you have any idea if Mrs. Oxley will be gone long.
00:26:48Oh, I wish I could help you, honey.
00:26:51Say, maybe you could do a show, Where Are They Now?
00:26:55Maybe, maybe.
00:26:56Look here.
00:26:58You won't believe the people I knew.
00:27:01Wow.
00:27:01And my favorite director, Alfred Hitchcock.
00:27:04Wow.
00:27:04Yeah.
00:27:05And, and Janet Leigh.
00:27:07And Tony Curtis.
00:27:08Oh, you work with the greats, huh?
00:27:09Oh, yeah.
00:27:09And the heavenly Cary Grant.
00:27:12Bye-bye.
00:27:13And Tyrone Coward.
00:27:17Don't get Tyrone Coward.
00:27:25Cedar Grove.
00:27:27Looks like it was once a thriving country town.
00:27:30Once.
00:27:31Not anymore.
00:27:32Or I guess the bad water story isn't such a big secret after all.
00:27:38Come on.
00:28:05Well, the report's dated January 5th of this year.
00:28:08Yeah, that's the one.
00:28:09And it shows nothing wrong with the groundwater.
00:28:13Well, thanks so much for looking.
00:28:15I 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.
00:28:21The water's pure as rain.
00:28:22Surprise, surprise.
00:28:23I got a rundown 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.
00:28:34You're putting the pieces together?
00:28:35Admit it, Laura. You miss it.
00:28:37And this is what you were trained to do.
00:28:40It's in your blood.
00:28:42You want to take point this time?
00:28:44Of course. It's in my blood, too.
00:28:47Hello?
00:28:49Yeah, I'll be right there. Hang on.
00:28:52Looks like the Cedar Grove real estate bubble's already burst.
00:28:55Hi.
00:28:59Inside Buzz Girl.
00:29:00Jack Leichardt.
00:29:01Laura Peterson.
00:29:02Come on in.
00:29:04So, you're looking to buy out this way, are you?
00:29:07Mr. Leichardt, I'd like to get right to the point.
00:29:11Okay.
00:29:11I'm Meredith Backelman of the Daily Free Press.
00:29:14I've got a few questions for you.
00:29:15Sure. Fire away.
00:29:16You've closed on quite a few deals over the last few months.
00:29:19Well, I am the only realtor in these parts.
00:29:22We're a dying breed.
00:29:23We've interviewed residents on the south side of Cedar Grove.
00:29:26Transactions where you've represented both the buyer and the seller.
00:29:30Dual agency is legal in the state of California.
00:29:32On 35 transactions?
00:29:34You don't think that's pushing the ethical boundaries a little?
00:29:37I believe everybody was satisfied.
00:29:39Didn't you tell people there were problems with the ground law?
00:29:41Look, when stories come up about bad water, even if they're just rumors,
00:29:45I have a duty to be up front with all parties.
00:29:47Disclosure laws are very clear about that.
00:29:49But you were being more than up front, weren't you?
00:29:52You showed them a toxicity report from the Department of Water,
00:29:55or should I say on the forged letterhead from the Department of Water?
00:29:58Wait a minute. What are you saying?
00:29:59Are you saying the water was poison?
00:30:00I think you know it's not, Mr. Lycar.
00:30:04Look, I'll admit I had some pretty good commissions last year,
00:30:08but I saw that report.
00:30:09I mean, hell, I even sold my own house outside of town.
00:30:11I thought I was doing everyone a favor.
00:30:14The buyers you represented didn't have any qualms
00:30:16about purchasing property with water problems.
00:30:19A big corporation doesn't really care about water.
00:30:21What big corporation would that be, Mr. Lycar?
00:30:26All right, I admit I made some money,
00:30:28but I was very up front with everybody.
00:30:31If they didn't want to buy and sell,
00:30:32then they didn't have to sell.
00:30:34I mean, I don't know what the hell you people want from me.
00:30:37I thought I was doing everyone a favor.
00:30:40Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got some work to do.
00:30:47The part I don't understand is,
00:30:49why was Amelia even interested in this story?
00:30:52People cheated out of their homes?
00:30:54Maybe you don't find that kind of story compelling in Hollywood.
00:30:57Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, but they were all paid.
00:30:59I mean, yes, it was deceptive,
00:31:01but a real estate scam story there, a dime a dozen.
00:31:04It was my fault.
00:31:07She wanted to drop the story,
00:31:09but I told her something smelled fishy.
00:31:11I told her to dig deeper.
00:31:14I got her killed.
00:31:17No, you can't blame yourself, Meredith.
00:31:20Oh, yes, I can.
00:31:24My head hurts.
00:31:28Don't you have some boyfriend to go home to or something?
00:31:32In between men at the moment.
00:31:36Stay that way.
00:31:37I married two, and they were both louses.
00:31:40You probably ran them off.
00:31:42Told them what they were doing wasn't good enough.
00:31:45I did, actually.
00:31:49Can you imagine if I'd had children?
00:31:52They wouldn't have stood a chance.
00:31:56What about you?
00:31:58I expected you to be married by now.
00:32:00Oh, I don't know.
00:32:01I think, honestly, it had a lot to do with Amelia.
00:32:05You were pretty frustrated when she quit school and married Rick.
00:32:08No, I was angry.
00:32:11But now I understand
00:32:14what a difficult choice it was for Amelia.
00:32:17And she made the right decision.
00:32:20Lori is an amazing girl.
00:32:22Yeah.
00:32:23Lost your partner.
00:32:27I lost my direction, too, I guess.
00:32:29I wanted so badly to be successful.
00:32:32And you are.
00:32:36We literally came from nothing, Amelia and me.
00:32:39Amelia and I.
00:32:41We met our freshman year, and we swore we'd go to the top together.
00:32:46The day I was her bridesmaid at her wedding was bittersweet.
00:32:53Stop the presses.
00:32:55Pop star elopes with bodyguard.
00:32:57Public shot.
00:32:59Film at 11.
00:33:01Laura Peterson.
00:33:04Oh, yeah.
00:33:05I'll be right over.
00:33:17I'll be right over.
00:33:27Do you know who Peter Bergstrom is?
00:33:29Uh, he's a movie producer, right?
00:33:31Yeah, maybe he's producing,
00:33:32but mostly he's a real estate developer.
00:33:34One of the biggest in the state.
00:33:35Okay.
00:33:36So why did Amelia have a box full of information up?
00:33:46Laura, what's going on?
00:33:47I don't know what all this means, but...
00:33:50Amelia was working a story rig.
00:33:52For what?
00:33:54To sell, I presume.
00:33:55Write it up and sell it freelance.
00:33:57We had plenty of money.
00:33:58It wasn't about the money.
00:33:59It was about doing something made to feel good about herself.
00:34:02You're saying she wasn't happy?
00:34:04I'm still trying to figure it out myself.
00:34:06Where did you find all this?
00:34:09In behind the Christmas decorations.
00:34:11Well, she certainly did a lot of research.
00:34:18Why was Amelia interested in Peter Bergstrom?
00:34:36It's beautiful, isn't it?
00:34:40Actually, it is.
00:34:42And I'm not normally a fan of big developments.
00:34:45Well, El Rancho Estates will be different.
00:34:48I have to say, you look even prettier in person than you do on television, Miss Peterson.
00:34:52Laura, please.
00:34:53It was good of you to see me on short notice, Mr. Bergstrom.
00:34:56Peter, please.
00:34:58And I have to say, you piqued my curiosity.
00:35:00What have I done to deserve the attention of the inside buzz?
00:35:05You're producing a movie, I hear.
00:35:07Well, it's L.A.
00:35:07Who isn't?
00:35:11Please, sit down, have a seat.
00:35:13I'm going to get grilled.
00:35:15Might as well do this in comfort, huh?
00:35:17Can I get you a cup of coffee, some water, or anything?
00:35:19No, I'm fine, thank you.
00:35:21Excuse me for one second.
00:35:26Yeah, Morgan.
00:35:28Uh, yeah, put him through.
00:35:31I'll take that one call.
00:35:31Sorry, one second.
00:35:42Hey, Professor.
00:35:43I turned up some interesting information in a database.
00:35:46There was an explosion out in Cedar Grove about a year ago.
00:35:49Another car fire?
00:35:50A propane accident.
00:35:52A man got burned really badly, finally died a couple months ago.
00:35:54But it was the name that jumped out at me.
00:35:57J.R.
00:35:58Oxley.
00:35:58Yeah, how'd you know?
00:36:02I've been looking for Loretta.
00:36:04He's a wife.
00:36:08Loretta?
00:36:14Okay.
00:36:15Ron, David, I'll do business with you guys anytime.
00:36:18Yeah.
00:36:18Hey, Ron, I wanted to fight on that plane.
00:36:21Yeah.
00:36:21Good, thanks.
00:36:23Bye-bye.
00:36:26You climbed Mount Everest?
00:36:28That's impressive.
00:36:30Actually, it's my greatest folly.
00:36:32I broke my ankle on the summit.
00:36:35A 145-pound Sherpa named La Sang Porgue had to carry me down to base camp on his back.
00:36:42Not my finest hour.
00:36:44Well, I hope you gave him a big tip.
00:36:45Actually, I gave La Sang his own travel agency.
00:36:48Now he has to deal with more crazy Americans than ever.
00:36:52Is that how you describe yourself?
00:36:53Crazy American.
00:36:55Yeah, I guess so.
00:36:56When I was a kid, a doctor told me that I had an adrenaline problem.
00:37:01Too much.
00:37:02But that's probably not what you came here to discuss.
00:37:05No, no, that's great.
00:37:06It gives me a feel for you.
00:37:07I mean, we can talk about the movie later.
00:37:09Okay.
00:37:09Um, too much energy.
00:37:11In high school, uh, I played every sport imaginable, and that, that seemed to help.
00:37:16In college, I discovered other things, and I sort of threw myself into partying a hundred
00:37:22percent, and all that bad behavior that that entails.
00:37:26But eventually, sewing your wild oats catches up to you, and I put that behavior behind me.
00:37:32But you're not really here to discuss my movie, are you?
00:37:40Do you know a woman named Amelia Moore?
00:37:43No, I can't say that I do.
00:37:44Who is she?
00:37:45A friend of mine.
00:37:46She died.
00:37:47I'm sorry to hear that.
00:37:48She was murdered in Cedar Grove.
00:37:53Uh, Cedar Grove, where's that?
00:37:54I think you know exactly where that is, Mr. Bergstrom.
00:37:59Ms. Peterson, I'm afraid that you've come here under false pretenses.
00:38:03I'm going to have to ask you to leave my office now.
00:38:04But if you could only just tell-
00:38:06No, out now.
00:38:11And we were getting along so well.
00:38:39Mrs. Oxley?
00:38:41Loretta Oxley?
00:38:41Please, please, I need a moment.
00:38:43I'm a friend of Amelia Moore's.
00:38:44I want to talk to you about the sale of your farm.
00:38:46I can't talk to you.
00:38:47We've spoken to a lot of your neighbors.
00:38:49No, you shouldn't be here.
00:38:51You understand.
00:38:51Please, I'd like to talk about your husband.
00:38:54Oh, no.
00:38:54I can't.
00:38:56I mean, you're out now.
00:39:31Come on, come on.
00:39:54Come on.
00:40:27Come on.
00:40:27So let's report this to the police.
00:40:29Come on, Laura.
00:40:30We 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.
00:40:38No, not for certain.
00:40:39The guy could have killed you.
00:40:41Gorillas shot at me in Nicaragua, Laura.
00:40:43Mobsters 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?
00:41:04Where were you today?
00:41:05The 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.
00:41:34Amelia had a box full of information on him.
00:41:36I 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?
00:41:50Uh-huh.
00:41:55Laura Peterson.
00:41:58Yes, yes I did.
00:42:03I see.
00:42:04No, no.
00:42:05Don'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.
00:42:23I'm leaving right now.
00:42:25I'm leaving right now.
00:42:26I'm leaving right now.
00:42:42I'm leaving right now.
00:42:44I'm leaving right now.
00:42:46I'm leaving right now.
00:42:47I'm leaving right now.
00:42:49I'm leaving right now.
00:42:50I'm leaving right now.
00:42:50I'm leaving right now.
00:42:51I'm leaving right now.
00:42:51I'm leaving right now.
00:42:51I'm leaving right now.
00:42:51I'm leaving right now.
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 wasn't 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 kid found him.
00:43:11How did you know Carl Timmons?
00:43:12I didn't.
00:43:14There are four messages from you in his voicemail.
00:43:16If you listen to him, then he know I never met him.
00:43:18Why 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 in the drinking water in Cedar Grove.
00:44:06Cedar Grove was part of his territory, right?
00:44:08It was.
00:44:09The real report from the Department of Water shows that the drinking water is perfectly fine.
00:44:14So he faked a report.
00:44:15Which got floated out among the residents of Cedar Grove.
00:44:18They all panicked.
00:44:20Everybody 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.
00:44:32So, this is what Timmons was killed over?
00:44:36And Amelia Moore, too.
00:44:41This is the trading part.
00:44:45All right, well, we found some interesting things in the victim's heart, Drugs.
00:44:50Amelia's.
00:44:50What?
00:44:51Her name was Amelia.
00:44:55I'm sorry, really.
00:44:59There's a whole set of pictures of houses 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.
00:45:10Also, there's a couple things in this notepad we just can't seem to figure out.
00:45:14Let me see it.
00:45:21This one's a date.
00:45:23October 22, 1989.
00:45:28You weren't very nice to me the first time you met.
00:45:37Well, this one, this is strange.
00:45:40R-C-D-S-G-S-8.
00:45:42I have no idea what that means.
00:45:45And this one, this says Summit Park kill fee.
00:45:51Three million dollars.
00:45:53Summit Park?
00:45:55That'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.
00:46:25I promise.
00:46:26And if you think of anything else, call me.
00:46:28Don't be a hero.
00:46:29These are bad people.
00:46:39Laura.
00:46:41Sorry if I was rough on you earlier.
00:46:44I'm a big girl.
00:46:45I can handle it.
00:46:47Keep this to yourself.
00:46:50Your friend Amelia?
00:46:51Amelia, it was my mother.

00:54:07pretty tough tonight huh does floyd niven always run his meetings like that uh lately anyway oh they're
00:54:15ganging up on you huh well it doesn't help that jack lycar has two relatives on the board really
00:54:23which ones that'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 that's the way it's been for the last three
00:54:35meetings or at least whenever lycar shows up tell me this company soul green technologies do they
00:54:42ever give up the names of their principles oh yeah their board of directors is listed right here in
00:54:46the petition to rezone listen good luck with your class why does soul green need all these different plots
00:54:53this isn't about some civics class is it 17. 25
00:55:11okay these are lycar's recent rezonings
00:55:20all i know is that last year floyd niven sure couldn't afford a rolex
00:55:35all these threads peter birds from carlton and cedar grove amelia's notes nothing fits together
00:55:42there's hundreds of names in these sheriff's employees records two questions we haven't
00:55:47answered yet what does the october 22nd date mean and why was amelia interested in this story what
00:55:53was she doing at a derelict cemetery three questions i got the names of the board of directors for soul
00:55:58green technologies oh goody more names i also nabbed these maps from the zoning commission nice work
00:56:06don't they usually put those windmills on long roads how valuable can the land be
00:56:12wait a second wait a second come here
00:56:17look at this look at this
00:56:22it's all one contiguous property look at that look at that
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 there's a cemetery
00:57:14i hate ghosts
00:57:32hey look at this
00:57:36it says keep out i'm going in
00:57:59it says keep out i'm going in
00:58:03this is stottlemyre
00:58:17jeremiah stottlemyre
00:58:38here's treasurer marianne jacobson richard goodman peter tippet he's the president
00:58:46they're all here
00:58:49the entire board of directors one of those companies is made up of ghost directors
00:58:55maybe all of them are that makes jack lycar the only real person involved so then he isn't just
00:59:01representing teams of buyers he is the buyer but how'd he get the money he'd have to get bank loans
00:59:07and down payments wait wait wait what if they've you know done something to this how could they i was
00:59:12right here the whole time i know but uh meredith they want us to be scared you know what i
00:59:17say
00:59:19let's go get them
00:59:24all right
00:59:46all right
00:59:48all right
00:59:48all right
00:59:48all right
01:00:11If Lycar'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 out for a high price.
01:00:29So Lycar must have paid off Timmins for the fake water report.
01:00:32He killed Timmins?
01:00:33Lycar hardly seems tired.
01:00:35Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait. Turn that up. There's something about El Rancho Estates.
01:00:37What?
01:00:38Peter Bergstrom announced unexpectedly today that he's pulling the multi-million dollar housing project out of Summit Park.
01:00:44City officials in Summit Park are threatening legal action, but Bergstrom insists El Rancho Estates will be built instead on
01:00:52a large tract of land in Cedar Grove in San Bernardino County.
01:00:56Now trading in local stocks was moderate today.
01:00:59Lycar's laughing.
01:01:01Makes 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?
01:01:15Drop into Jack Lycar's lap?
01:01:19How much money would be on the table to deal with this service?
01:01:22Hundreds of euros.
01:01:26People are falling all over themselves to do business with Peter Bergstrom.
01:01:30Why would he end up with Jack Lycar?
01:01:35What's wrong?
01:01:37Maybe nothing.
01:01:38Do me a favor, will you?
01:01:40Pull over. Let this guy pass.
01:01:43Is that the guy who tried to run you off the road?
01:01:44I think so.
01:01:45Can you get his plate number?
01:01:49No plates on the front.
01:02:17You are the boss.
01:02:20I think so.
01:02:25Lycar.
01:02:34Ah!
01:02:36Ah!
01:02:37Ah!
01:02:37Ah!
01:02:38Ah!
01:02:38Ah!
01:02:38Woohoo!
01:02:39Woohoo!
01:02:41Like her.
01:02:43It's me, Rhys.
01:02:46No, I didn't.
01:02:48But I got away.
01:03:02I mean it, Laura, we stop this now.
01:03:04How can you say that?
01:03:05Let the detectives handle it.
01:03:07Mary, 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 really killed.
01:03:14Twice in one week.
01:03:15We can't just quit.
01:03:16This is what we do.
01:03:17Look at yourself.
01:03:18Look at me, a celebrity hack newscaster
01:03:21and 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,
01:03:27but out there it's about to get us killed.
01:03:28You're not washed up.
01:03:31I'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,
01:03:39so I had to settle for this.
01:03:44Laura, you're not 20 years old.
01:03:45Why 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.
01:03:54Enjoy it while you've got it.
01:03:57Amelia's dead.
01:03:59Nothing we do is ever going to bring her back.
01:04:22So cozy.
01:04:24You're going to get to school.
01:04:26Wow.
01:04:28Look at what's this.
01:04:28That's so funny.
01:04:34I'm going to get to school.
01:04:37I'm just going to check with Daddy to see if dinner's ready.
01:04:41Okay?
01:04:41Right back seat.
01:04:44How's it coming?
01:04:49Uh, not a total loss.
01:04:52Smells good.
01:04:54How's Gloria?
01:04:56Sad.
01:04:57Doing better though, I think.
01:05:03Well, thanks 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.
01:05:25Rick?
01:05:27Rick?
01:05:30Rick?
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?
01:06:06But 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.
01:06:13May I check on the spaghetti?
01:06:19Oh, uh, hey, is Meredith here?
01:06:22I haven't seen her.
01:06:24Guess who was Reserve County Deputy Sheriff from 1985 to 92?
01:06:28Jack Lycar.
01:06:30So was J.R. Oxley.
01:06:33Both 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.
01:06:56Oh, come on. I'm in on this. You 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.
01:07:04I 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.
01:07:39Looks like Lycar's still at work.
01:07:41So he is.
01:07:43This could be interesting.
01:07:45What are you going to do?
01:07:47Watch Lycar's face when we show him our head.
01:08:01Hello?
01:08:02Sorry we're closed, but...
01:08:03No, it's you again.
01:08:05Yep, 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.
01:08:34Well, 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?
01:08:46Were 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.
01:09:41Didn't you?
01:09:41Look what happened to her.
01:09:46Okay.
01:10:00Mr. Bob.
01:10:01J.R. was such a handsome man.
01:10:04If you could have seen what that fire done to him.
01:10:08Mrs. Oxley, when did you learn the truth?
01:10:12A couple of months ago, J.R.'s hospital bills were taken.
01:10:16Everything we had.
01:10:17And then he told me about this money he put away.
01:10:20$20,000.
01:10:21Told me to pay the doctors with it.
01:10:23Did he tell you where he got it?
01:10:25Jack Leichert 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.
01:10:36J.R. was first on the scene.
01:10:38So he called it in.
01:10:39The girl was dead.
01:10:42But she wasn't the one driving.
01:10:43It was a young man.
01:10:45Drunk out of his mind.
01:10:47Before J.R. could call it in, Jack Leichert shows up and pulls rank.
01:10:52He always was a weasel, that one.
01:10:55Leichert talks to the young man for a while and then he tells J.R. he'll handle everything.
01:10:59Leichert took the dead girl's body and put it in the driver's seat.
01:11:02And then told J.R. 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 before Leichert chased him off and then he kicked J
01:11:16.R. out of there too.
01:11:18And what happened after that?
01:11:19Well the next day the newspaper comes out saying the girl was driving all alone.
01:11:23Well that ain't right.
01:11:24And J.R. is pretty upset as you can imagine.
01:11:27And a couple of days later Leichert gives J.R. $20,000 to keep quiet.
01:11:32They were just helping some young rich kid out of a jam.
01:11:35That's how Leichert put it.
01:11:37Well times were tough.
01:11:39J.R. 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 Leichert came around buying up property, did he offer you a fair price?
01:11:59Oh it didn't matter.
01:12:00My J.R. stood up to him.
01:12:02No way we'd sell.
01:12:04He said he was tired of Leichert and all his lies.
01:12:08And then less than two weeks later J.R. is in a burn ward.
01:12:12After someone broke the valve off that damn propane tank.
01:12:18J.R. was a good man.
01:12:22Mrs. Oxley.
01:12:25This is very important.
01:12:27Who was driving the sports car that night?
01:12:29Did your husband tell you?
01:12:34It was Peter Bergstrom wasn't it?
01:12:57You know, I bet Leichert's been blackmailing Bergstrom for all these years.
01:13:01Until he was ready for the big payday.
01:13:03Forcing Bergstrom to move the new development to Cedar Grove.
01:13:09That's Professor Backman isn't it?
01:13:12Yeah.
01:13:13Who's she with?
01:13:16Peter 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.
01:13:32Peter, you 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.
01:13:43You'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?
01:14:15Meredith wrote an expose on the Bergstroms. She would have known the date Deborah Varner 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.
01:14:28But all she's taught us.
01:14:31The one thing she taught us more than any other.
01:14:33You don't stop.
01:14:36You do whatever you need to until you uncover the truth.
01:14:38We'll stay here.
01:14:53Help!
01:15:02Please!industry!
01:15:12Help!
01:15:15after we saw Bergstrom and Meredith talking,
01:15:17that's when they kidnapped Christy.
01:15:18You gotta go to the police.
01:15:19And risk Lycar killing her?
01:15:21Are you crazy?
01:15:22Oh, God, the poor kid.
01:15:23That was the one who got her into this.
01:15:25God, and I knew better!
01:15:29I accepted you.
01:15:32What?
01:15:33I might have one bargaining chip.
01:15:35What's that?
01:15:37The drills.
01:15:58I'm afraid you missed her, dear.
01:16:01You're kidding.
01:16:02She's hard to catch, ain't she?
01:16:04Do you have any idea when she might be back?
01:16:06Oh, she's gone.
01:16:07For good.
01:16:09Yeah.
01:16:10When to live with her sister.
01:16:11Well, do you have the address?
01:16:13Somewhere in Santa Fe.
01:16:15Hey, I dropped Loretta at the bus station myself.
01:16:19How long ago?
01:16:20Last night.
01:16:22About midnight.
01:16:24I'm sorry.
01:16:26Did I do something wrong?
01:16:28No.
01:16:29Oh.
01:16:30You look so lost, sweetie.
01:16:43Miss?
01:16:45How would you like to be on TV?
01:16:54What the hell is this?
01:16:55We know how Deborah Varner died.
01:16:57I know about you, and I know about Jack Leichard.
01:17:02What are you talking about?
01:17:03I got the story.
01:17:05I just thought you might like to comment before it airs.
01:17:08This is ridiculous.
01:17:10The gossip columnist is suddenly becoming a hard-biting news reporter?
01:17:13Is that what's going on?
01:17:14That's right.
01:17:14I wouldn't mind moving a rung up the journalistic ladder and busting your ass is the perfect place
01:17:18to start.
01:17:19And then that's all cute and everything?
01:17:21Turn off your camera and get out of my office before I call my attorney.
01:17:24You and Jack Leichard conspired to make it look like Deborah Varner died alone.
01:17:28When in fact you were the driver that night.
01:17:31What are you doing?
01:17:31You bust into somebody's office, you stick a camera in their face, start hurling accusations
01:17:35at them?
01:17:35You killed Deborah Varner and you paid off Jack Leichard to cover it up.
01:17:38Now Leichard's come back to blackmail you.
01:17:40That's the only reason you'd ever build El Rancho estates on his land.
01:17:44All right, what you're saying right now is completely outrageous.
01:17:47What's outrageous is that three people have died.
01:17:51J.R. Oxley, Carl Timmons and my friend Amelia Moore.
01:17:54I'm truly sorry, but I have nothing to do with any of this.
01:17:59I interviewed Loretta Oxley, the deputy's widow.
01:18:03J.R. Oxley told his wife the truth before he died.
01:18:07Well, look, I don't know what you think you have there in your middle hand,
01:18:09but in a court of law, that would be called hearsay.
01:18:12Oh, I'm not taking it to court. I'm a hack, remember?
01:18:14I make my living reporting innuendo and speculation.
01:18:16It's the new journalism.
01:18:18Oh, and let me promise you, this is going to make great television.
01:18:22Why don't you tell me what it is that you really want?
01:18:24A college student named Chrissy McDermott.
01:18:26She's been kidnapped and I want her released unharmed immediately.
01:18:29Okay, fantastic. So do I.
01:18:31But I have no idea what you're talking about.
01:18:33I didn't think you did.
01:18:35It's my car.
01:18:37Your partner.
01:18:41You want to talk?
01:18:42You really want to talk?
01:18:44Take your camera.
01:18:45Turn it off.
01:18:46Turn it off. Put it down.
01:18:48I'm fine.
01:18:49Show me your tape.
01:18:51Play it.
01:18:52Please, because I'd love to see what's on.
01:18:55Just pop it in over here.
01:19:05My husband, J.R. Oxley, was the first deputy on the scene the night of the accident.
01:19:10Peter Bergstrom was driving drunk when he crashed his car in Cedar Grove.
01:19:14He killed that poor girl in the passenger seat.
01:19:18She died because of him.
01:19:20Jack Lycar and Bergstrom covered up what happened.
01:19:24They made it look like that young girl done it to herself.
01:19:44You have to understand, I loved Deborah Varner.
01:19:50And that night has haunted me my entire life.
01:20:15Tell me, Peter, why'd you pick this godforsaken spot?
01:20:21This is where the accident happened.
01:20:24This is where it all started.
01:20:26This is where it's all going to end.
01:20:28Sounds morbid.
01:20:30Look, I don't know why I need to meet with Lycar.
01:20:32You're paying me, not him.
01:20:34There's too many side deals.
01:20:35I want everything on the table.
01:20:37Here he comes.
01:20:43Wait a minute.
01:20:43What's he doing with Christy?
01:20:47This is crazy, Peter.
01:20:48This is just crazy.
01:20:49Well, idiot, why'd you grab the girl?
01:20:51Insurance.
01:20:52What the hell is she doing here?
01:20:53Calm down, Jack.
01:20:54We're just finishing a business deal here.
01:20:56You said it yourself.
01:20:56There's plenty for everybody, right?
01:20:58Yeah, but why did you get her involved?
01:20:59She got herself involved, believe me.
01:21:01I'm cashing in, same as you.
01:21:03Peter, I have this all covered.
01:21:04I want my payoff after 15 wasted years.
01:21:08Please, my heart bleeds.
01:21:10Frisker.
01:21:11Oh, whoa, whoa.
01:21:12Back off.
01:21:13You know what?
01:21:13This ends now, okay?
01:21:15People are getting killed, Jack.
01:21:16Kidnapped.
01:21:17This is not the deal that we made.
01:21:19She's clean.
01:21:19Deals changed, Petey boy.
01:21:21No, no.
01:21:22You let that girl go now,
01:21:23or this whole deal is off.
01:21:25You know, your father had a more practical way
01:21:27of dealing with these things.
01:21:28I let the girl go when the deal is done.
01:21:31Okay, Lycar, just give us plenty on the kidnapping.
01:21:32I'm calling it in.
01:21:33No, wait.
01:21:34I want him to murder.
01:21:36Let's get rid of her.
01:21:37What are you going to do with her?
01:21:39What do you care?
01:21:40All of a sudden you got scruples?
01:21:42Jack, you can't go whacking every reporter
01:21:43who starts asking questions.
01:21:44You listen to me, Peter.
01:21:46I want to live your life.
01:21:47I want a chance at the good life.
01:21:49And if someone has to disappear,
01:21:50well, that's just tough.
01:21:54Killed Amelia, didn't you?
01:21:58No, I did.
01:21:59You shut your mouth, Reese.
01:22:01Paid me 20 grand and another 15 for the water guy.
01:22:03We've got him.
01:22:05Okay, move, move.
01:22:12What is this?
01:22:19Reese, let's go.
01:22:21Come on, Reese.
01:22:23You've done fixing your problems, Lycar.
01:22:32Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, Jack.
01:22:33Forget it, man.
01:22:34I'm wired.
01:22:35This is all on tape.
01:22:36You're finished.
01:22:37Are you out of here, Ma?
01:22:38You'll lose everything.
01:22:39Everything!
01:22:40Everything but my self-respect.
01:22:54Christy, are you okay?
01:22:57Oh, I saw it.
01:23:03It's all right, honey.
01:23:06No one can hurt you.
01:23:07You're safe now.
01:23:32Jack Lycar, you're under arrest for the murders of Amelia Moore and Carl Timmons.
01:23:38Get him out of here.
01:23:56All those years you lectured us, did it really mean anything?
01:24:02It was teaching you to become better journalists.
01:24:06You're the reason Amelia died.
01:24:12Yes, I directed her towards the Bergstroms.
01:24:15They've always been ripe for bringing down.
01:24:20I never meant for her to get hurt.
01:24:22No, you just wanted her to dig up some dirt for you.
01:24:24She was a journalist.
01:24:27She was a wife.
01:24:28And a mother.
01:24:31She idolized you.
01:24:37She chose the wrong idol.
01:25:05She chose the same cycle.
01:25:09Hey there, Amelia.
01:25:11I wish you would have told me what you were doing.
01:25:15Maybe we could have done it together.
01:25:19I'm working for the Times now.
01:25:22The second string, Metro.
01:25:24Let us just start, right?
01:25:27Maybe once in a while you can...
01:25:30look down and give me a hand.
01:25:33Like old times.
01:25:43There are no cases in which,
01:25:50the number of people can be trained.
01:25:51If you need an Depression,
01:25:51you will need to install your best way.
01:25:51Then you will need to take a second and invest for it.
01:25:53I will give you this time.
01:25:54The next string is the same thing.
01:25:54The next string is the same thing.
01:25:54You are the same thing.
01:25:56You are the same thing.
01:26:01The next string is the same thing.
01:26:05Ooh, ooh, ooh
01:26:16Hey, hey, hey
01:26:22Ooh, ooh, ooh
01:26:28Ooh, ooh, ooh
01:26:37Ooh, ooh, ooh
01:26:46Oh, ooh, ooh
01:26:57Um, our joy.
01:26:58Hey, hey.
01:26:59Ooh, ooh, ooh.
01:27:07Woo-hoo, ooh-ooh.
01:27:08Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh.
