00:23:33TranscriptionWords
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 I didn't know whether it was related or not.
00:23:52I wanted some kind of proof
00:23:55in case I needed it for the insurance.
00:23:58Of course.
00:23:58Do you still have a copy?
00:24:01The other reporter, your friend?
00:24:03Is she the one who died in that car fire?
00:24:08Yes.
00:24:09Her name was Amelia Moore,
00:24:11and we think that something she discovered out here
00:24:13may 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 thought it would just be trouble.
00:24:25I understand, Max, but it could be very important.
00:24:28Do you think she'd be alive if I given it to her?
00:24:33I 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 Leiker handled everything,
00:24:46acted like he was doing everybody a big favor.
00:24:59The toxicity studies.
00:25:01The supervisor of the project was Carl Timmons.
00:25:07The doctor said heæ ¡ist aosieings,
00:25:07Let me see her as an actor.
00:25:08We have forgotten all the folks.
00:25:11This is what I've seen.
00:25:11We have done now.
00:25:16We have done it.
00:25:22We are done it.
00:25:25The doctor said he was doing everything.
00:25:26And we have done it.
00:25:26This is what we have done hereford.
00:25:26It does, it's pretty quick to make it that way.
00:25:37Is this it? Yeah, 3-2-2-2-0, here.
00:25:52Don't believe Loretta's at home.
00:25:54What's that?
00:25:55Mrs. Oxley.
00:25:57Haven't seen her all morning.
00:25:58Sometimes she walks up to the store.
00:26:00Sometimes she goes off for a visit.
00:26:03Mrs. Oxley has only been here a couple of months
00:26:05since selling her farm, isn't that right?
00:26:06Yeah, she's one of the short timers.
00:26:10Husband got burned up in a fire.
00:26:14Say, don't I know you?
00:26:15You're the TV lady.
00:26:18The 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.
00:26:25I was quite the little starlet.
00:26:29Oh.
00:26:30Yeah.
00:26:31Producers, directors, writers.
00:26:34I had my pick.
00:26:35I can see why.
00:26:36I'm wondering if you...
00:26:37Of course, times were different then.
00:26:39A girl with a reputation had a harder time.
00:26:43I'm sorry.
00:26:44I just, I'm wondering if you have any idea
00:26:46of 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.
00:26:57Look here.
00:26:58You won't believe the people I knew.
00:27:01Oh, wow.
00:27:01My favorite director, Alfred Hitchcock.
00:27:04Wow.
00:27:04Yeah, and Janet Leigh, and Tony Curtis.
00:27:08Oh, you worked with the greats, huh?
00:27:09Oh, yeah.
00:27:09And the heavenly Cary Grant.
00:27:12Bye-bye.
00:27:14And 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.
00:27:34I guess the bad water story
00:27:36isn't such a big secret after all.
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
00:28:20is 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?
00:28:36Admit it, Laura.
00:28:37You 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.
00:28:45It's in my blood, too.
00:28:48Hello?
00:28:49Yeah, I'll be right there.
00:28:51Hang on.
00:28:52Looks like the Cedar Grove real estate bubble's already burst.
00:28:56Hi.
00:28:59Inside Buzz Girl.
00:29:01Jack Leichardt.
00:29:02Laura 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.
00:29:12I'm Meredith Backelman of the Daily Free Press.
00:29:14I've got a few questions for you.
00:29:15Sure.
00:29:16Fire 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.
00:29:27Transactions 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?
00:29:37No.
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, I have a duty to
00:29:46be 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.
00:29:59What 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.
00:30:12I thought I was doing everyone a favor.
00:30:14The buyers you represented didn't have any qualms about 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, then they didn't have to sell.
00:30:34I mean, I don't know what the hell you people want from me.
00:30:36I 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, why 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.
00:30:58But they were all paid.
00:30:59I mean, yes, it was deceptive, but a real estate scam story there a dime a dozen.
00:31:04It was my fault.
00:31:07She wanted to drop the story, but 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.
00:31:50Can 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.
00:32:02I think, honestly, it had a lot to do with Amelia.
00:32:05You were pretty frustrated when she quit school and married Rick.
00:32:09No, I was angry.
00:32:11But now I understand what a difficult choice it was for Amelia.
00:32:18She 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.
00:32:30I 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.
00:32:54Stop the presses.
00:32:55Pop star elopes with bodyguard.
00:32:57Public shocked.
00:32:59Film at 11.
00:33:01Laura Peterson.
00:33:04Oh, yeah.
00:33:06I'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, but mostly he's a real estate developer.
00:33:34One of the biggest in the state.
00:33:36Okay.
00:33:36So why did Amelia have a box full of information on it?
00:33:46Laura, what's going on?
00:33:47I don't know what all this means, but Amelia 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 that made her 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?
00:34:37Beautiful, 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, it'll 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.
00:35:08Who isn't?
00:35:12Please, 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, anything?
00:35:20No, I'm fine.
00:35:21Excuse me for one second.
00:35:26Yeah, Margo.
00:35:30Yeah, 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.
00:35:55But 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.
00:36:04It's her wife.
00:36:08Loretta?
00:36:13Yeah, okay.
00:36:15Ron, David, I'll do business with you guys any time.
00:36:18Yeah.
00:36:19Hey, Ron, I wanted to fight on that plane.
00:36:21Yeah?
00:36:22Okay, thanks.
00:36:23Bye-bye.
00:36:27You 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 Sange-Pourguet had to carry me down to base camp on his back.
00:36:42Aw.
00:36:42Not my finest hour.
00:36:44Well, I hope you gave him a big tip.
00:36:45Actually, I gave La Sange 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?
00:36:54Crazy 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.
00:37:03But that's probably not what you came here to discuss.
00:37:06No, 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.
00:37:10Too much energy.
00:37:11In high school, I played every sport imaginable, and that seemed to help.
00:37:16In college, I discovered other things, and I sort of threw myself into partying 100% and
00:37:23all that bad behavior that that entails.
00:37:26But eventually, sewing your wild oats catches up to you, and I put that behavior behind
00:37:32me.
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.
00:37:52Uh, 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.
00:38:05But if you could only just tell...
00:38:06No, out now.
00:38:11And we were getting along so well.
00:38:39Mrs. Oxley, Loretta Oxley, 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.
00:38:47I 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?
00:38:52Please, I'd like to talk about your husband.
00:38:54No.
00:39:31Go, go.
00:39:33Go.
00:39:34Go.
00:40:27So let's report this to the police.
00:40:29Come on, Laura.
00:40:30We dig deeper.
00:40:31Police 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?
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.
00:41:22Peter 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.
00:41:57Yes, yes I did.
00:42:03I see.
00:42:04No, no, don't send a squad car.
00:42:06Laura, I'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.
00:42:24I just found Carl 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.
00:43:10Neighbor 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.
00:44:19They 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.
00:44:33So 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, Josh.
00:44:50Amelia's.
00:44:51What?
00:44:51Her name was Amelia.
00:44:55I'm sorry, really.
00:45:00There's a whole set of pictures of Haas is 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.
00:45:22This one's a date.
00:45:23October 22, 1989.
00:45:28You weren't very nice to me the first time we met.
00:45:38Well, this one is a 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.
00:45:56That's nowhere near here.
00:46:07I know.
00:46:08Oh, careful.
00:46:10Thanks.
00:46:12And he says,
00:46:14What do you mean I'm Irish?
00:46:19Listen.
00:46:20I know you're a reporter and all,
00:46:22but please be careful.
00:46:24I will.
00:46:25I promise.
00:46:26And if you think of anything else,
00:46:27call me.
00:46:28Don't be a hero.
00:46:30These are bad people.
00:46:41Laura, sorry if I was rough on you earlier.
00:46:44I'm a big girl.
00:46:45I can handle it.
00:46:48Keep this to yourself.
00:46:51Your friend Amelia,
00:46:52Amelia, it was my mother.
00:47:00Thank you, Roy.

00:47:18I'll be right back.
00:47:19I'll be right back.
00:47:20I'll be right back.
00:47:21I'll be right back.

00:56:12wait a second wait a second come here look at this look at this
00:56:23it'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
00:57:31hey look at this
00:57:36it says keep out i'm going in
00:58:03This is Dottlemyre.
00:58:18Jeremiah Stottlemyre.
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 Stottlemyre.
00:58:37You're kidding.
00:58:40Here'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.
00:58:56That makes Jack Leichardt the only real person involved.
00:58:59So 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? I 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.
00:59:24All right.
01:00:11If Leichardt's running three different companies, he's gotta 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 Leichardt must have paid off Timmins for the fake water report.
01:00:32Did he kill Timmins?
01:00:33Leichardt hardly seems to tire.
01:00:35Wait, wait, wait. Turn that up.
01:00:36There's something about our rancher stays.
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.
01:00:48But Bergstrom insists El Rancho Estates will be built instead on a large tract of land in Cedar Grove in
01:00:55San Bernardino County.
01:00:56Now, trading in local stocks was moderate today.
01:00:59My cars 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?
01:01:15Drop into Jack Leichardt's lap?
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.
01:01:41Let this guy pass.
01:01:43Is 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.
01:02:18You are the boss.
01:02:20You're the boss.
01:02:21You're the boss.
01:02:21Let's go, Riker.
01:02:41Riker.
01:02:43It's me, Reese.
01:02:46No, I didn't.
01:02:48But I got away.
01:02:51Shh.
01:03:02I mean it, Laura. We stop this now.
01:03:05How can you say that?
01:03:05Let the detectives handle it.
01:03:07Meredith, this is crazy. This isn't you.
01:03:09What about everything you talk about?
01:03:10Excuse me for being human.
01:03:11It's been a long time since I've been nearly killed.
01:03:14Twice in one week.
01:03:15We can't just quit. This is what we do.
01:03:17Look at yourself. Look at me.
01:03:19A celebrity hack 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? That'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.
01:03:53Go back to your life. Enjoy it while you've got it.
01:03:57Amelia's dead. Nothing we do is ever going to bring her back.
01:04:23So cosy. You're going to get to school.
01:04:26Oh, my God.
01:04:27Look at what's this. That's so funny.
01:04:31Terrific.
01:04:32Oh, now they're all ready.
01:04:34And so now you make sure you get to school on time.
01:04:38And I'm just going to check with Daddy to see if dinner's ready.
01:04:41Okay? Right back seat.
01:04:44Now you guys.
01:04:48How's it coming?
01:04:49Uh, not a total loss.
01:04:52Smells good.
01:04:55How's Gloria?
01:04:56Sad.
01:04:57Doing better, though, I think.
01:05:03Well, thanks for coming around. It'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.
01:05:44What's that?
01:05:51Rick?
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.
01:06:13May 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?
01:06:29Jack 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.
01:06:57Oh, 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.
01:07:05I 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.
01:07:17Come on.
01:07:40Looks 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 hand.
01:08:01Hello?
01:08:02Sorry we're closed, but...
01:08:04Oh, it's you again.
01:08:06Yep, me again.
01:08:06You're still working on that civics class assignment, little lady?
01:08:11This is not a good time for me. I'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. I 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. You 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, it'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? Mrs. 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. There'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.
01:09:46Oh, goodness.
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, 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 Leicar 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.
01:10:36Well, J.R. 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.
01:10:46Drunk out of his mind.
01:10:47Before J.R. could call it in, Jack Leicar shows up and pulls rank.
01:10:52He always was a weasel, that one.
01:10:55Leicar talks to the young man for a while and then he tells J.R. he'll handle everything.
01:10:59Leicar 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.
01:11:14Before Leicar chased him off and then he kicked J.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.'s pretty upset as you can imagine.
01:11:26And a couple of days later, Leicar gives J.R. $20,000 to keep quiet.
01:11:32They were just helping some young rich kid out of a jam, that's how Leicar 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. He called it blood money.
01:11:49Until he didn't have a choice.
01:11:54When Leicar came around buying up property, did he offer you a fair price?
01:11:59Oh, it didn't matter.
01:12:01My J.R. stood up to him.
01:12:02No way we'd sell.
01:12:04He said he was tired of Leicar 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 propane tank.
01:12:18J.R. was a good man.
01:12:21What?
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 Leicar'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.
01:13:32Peter, 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.
01:13:44You'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.
01:13:48Your family thinks you can buy your way out of any problem? Well, 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. She would have known the date Deborah Garner died.
01:14:19Why 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.
01:14:52Mary!
01:14:56Mary!
01:14:57Christy!
01:14:58Let her go!
01:15:02Please, Christy!
01:15:15and after we saw bergstrom and meredith talking that's when they kidnapped christy
01:15:18you gotta go to the police and risked like our killing her are you crazy
01:15:22oh god the poor kid and i was the one who got her into this god and i knew better
01:15:29accepted
01:15:33what i might have one bargaining chip what's that the drills
01:15:39but
01:15:58afraid you missed her dear
01:16:01you're kidding she's hard to catch ain't she
01:16:04well do you have any idea when she might be back
01:16:06Oh, she's gone. For good.
01:16:08Oh.
01:16:09Yeah. Went to live with her sister.
01:16:11Well, do you have the address?
01:16:13Somewhere in Santa Fe.
01:16:16I dropped Loretta at the bus station myself.
01:16:19How long ago?
01:16:21Last night. About midnight.
01:16:25I'm sorry. Did I do something wrong?
01:16:28No.
01:16:30Oh. You look so lost, sweetie.
01:16:43Miss? How 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 Lycar.
01:17:02What are you talking about?
01:17:03I got the story.
01:17:04I just thought you might like to comment before it airs.
01:17:08This is ridiculous.
01:17:10The gossip columnist is suddenly becoming a heart-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
01:17:16and busting your ass is the perfect place to 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 Lycar conspired to make it look like Deborah Varner died alone.
01:17:28When in fact you were the driver that night.
01:17:30What are you doing?
01:17:31You bust into somebody's office?
01:17:33Stick a camera in their face?
01:17:34Start hurling accusations at them?
01:17:35You killed Deborah Varner and you paid off Jack Lycar to cover it up.
01:17:38Now Lycar's come back to blackmail you.
01:17:40That's the only reason you'd ever build El Rancho estates on his land.
01:17:45All right.
01:17:45What 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.
01:17:55I'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,
01:18:10but 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 gonna 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.
01:18:30Okay, 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 Lycar.
01:18:37Your partner.
01:18:41You wanna talk?
01:18:42You really wanna talk?
01:18:43Look, take your camera, turn it off.
01:18:46Turn it off, put it down.
01:18:48I'm fine.
01:18:49Show me your tape.
01:18:52Play it, please, because I'd love to see what's on.
01:18:55Just pop it in, I'll be 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.
01:19:15He killed that poor girl in the passenger seat.
01:19:17She 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.
01:20:15And that night has haunted me my entire life.
01:20:18You can 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 gonna end.
01:20:28Sounds morbid.
01:20:30Look, I don't know why I need to meet with Lycar.
01:20:33You'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.
01:20:50Idiot!
01:20:50Why'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.
01:20:57There'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 had this all covered.
01:21:05I want my payoff after 15 wasted years.
01:21:08Please, my heart bleeds.
01:21:11Frisker.
01:21:11Oh, what, what?
01:21:12Back off!
01:21:13You know what?
01:21:13This ends now, okay?
01:21:15People are getting killed, Jack.
01:21:17Kidnapped.
01:21:17This is not the deal that we made.
01:21:19She's clean.
01:21:20Deal's changed, Petey boy.
01:21:22No, 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.
01:21:29I let the girl go when the deal is done.
01:21:31Okay, Lycar just gave us plenty on the kidnapping.
01:21:33I don't think I'm calling it in.
01:21:34No, wait.
01:21:35I want him to murder.
01:21:36Let's get rid of her.
01:21:37What are you gonna 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.
01:21:45You 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.
01:21:54You killed Amelia, didn't you?
01:21:57No, I did.
01:21:59Will you shut your mouth, Rhys?
01:22:01Paid me 20 grand and another 15 for the water guy.
01:22:04We've got him.
01:22:05Okay, move, move.
01:22:12What is this?
01:22:19Rhys, let's go.
01:22:21Come on!
01:22:22Rhys!
01:22:23You've done fixing your problems, Lycar.
01:22:32Whoa, 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 your mind?
01:22:38You'll lose everything.
01:22:40Everything!
01:22:40Everything but my self-respect.
01:22:54Chrissy!
01:22:55Are you okay?
01:23:02I saw it.
01:23:04It'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 and a mother.
01:24:31She idolized you.
01:24:37She chose the wrong idol.
01:24:42No.
01:24:54No.
01:24:56No.
01:25:00No.
01:25:02No.
01:25:15No.
01:25:16No.
01:25:20No.
01:25:20No.
01:25:22No.
01:25:23No.
01:25:23No.
01:25:24No.
01:25:25No.
01:25:25No.
01:25:26No.
01:25:26No.
01:25:29No.
01:25:31No.
01:25:33No.
01:25:35No.
01:25:36No.
01:25:49No.
01:25:51No.
01:25:53No.
01:25:54No.
01:25:55No.
