WITH PRINCIPAL DARREN DEAN.
YOU MUST BE SO PROUD
OF THIS STATE-OF-THE-ARATHLETIC FACILITY,
AND THE FACTHAT YOUR FOOTBALL TEAM

ALL SEASON--
WHAT IS THAT NOISE?
I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT.
SHANNON!
HEY!
HI.
HEY, SORRY.
I DIDN'T REALIZE
THE INTERVIEW ALREADY STARTED.
TELL MR. DEAN I APOLOGIZE.
NO, VOLUNTEERS CAN MAKE
ALL THE NOISE THEY WANT.
SHE JUST DROPPED BY
FOR A MINUTE.
IT WAS THE SAW THAT I NEEDED,
AND SHE WAS KIND ENOUGH
TO BRING IT BY.
I HOPE YOU WON'T SEND ME
TO DETENTION,
MR. ATHLETIC DIRECTOR, SIR.
I'M ACTUALLY IN A HURRY
TO GET GOING.
SHANNON'S STARTING
THE CRADDOCK HOUSE
RESTORATION TODAY.
WOW.
YOU GUYS SHOULD
START CALLING ITHE SULLIVAN HOUSE.
MAC SULLIVAN IS
THE OWNER NOW.
WELL, IT'S BEEN
THE CRADDOCK HOUSE
FOR WHAT,
A HUNDRED YEARS NOW?
IT'LL ALWAYS BE
THE CRADDOCK HOUSE AROUND HERE.
YEAH, THAT'S FAIR.
IT'S PROBABLY A LOSING BATTLE.
- YUP.
WELL, GOOD LUCK
WITH THE JOB, SHANNON.
AND THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR DONATING YOUR TIME
TO OUR CAUSE.
GO BULLDOGS.

WISH I COULD SAY
I WAS SURPRISED
TO SEE YOU HERE.
JUST THOUGHT I'D LEMR. FAMOUS WRITER HERE
HAVE ONE LAST CHANCE
TO LET ME HAVE A BID
ON THE CRADDOCK JOB.
WHICH I HAVE
KINDLY DECLINED.
AGAIN.
WHICH I WAS
JUST SAYING
MIGHT NOT BE
THE SMARTEST MOVE.
I GUARANTEE MY BID
WILL BE LOWER THAN HERS,
AND...
I CAN GET IT DONE
FASTER,
WHICH MEANS YOU WON'HAVE TO BE LIVING
IN SHANNON'S LITTLE
GINGERBREAD SHACK BACK THERE.
JUST TELLING IT LIKE IT IS.
WELL, IT IS TRUE,
I DO TAKE EXTRA TIME
BECAUSE I SPECIALIZE
IN QUALITY RESTORATION,
WHEREAS QB CONSTRUCTION
SPECIALIZES
IN QUICK AND CHEAP.
HEY, JUST TELLING ILIKE IT IS.
I MAKE NO APOLOGIES
ABOUT CHARGING MY CUSTOMERS
A REASONABLE FEE.
WHAT DO YOU SAY, SULLIVAN?
LET ME TAKE A GANDER
AT YOUR PLACE.
I'LL FLOAT YOU A NUMBER.
I APPRECIATE YOU HAVING
MY BEST INTERESTS AT HEART,
BUT I'M GONNA
STICK WITH SHANNON.
I ADMIRE LOYALTY.
BUT YOU MIGHWANT TO TALK
TO THE PRESIDENOF THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY.
I THINK HE WILL RECOMMEND ME.
YEAH,
YOUR COUSIN TED.
HOW IS HE?
HAPPEN TO HAVE
HIS NUMBER RIGHT HERE.
YOU KNOW WHAT, CLIFF,
I WAS JUST AT THE HIGH SCHOOL.
THERE'S THIS
NEWS CREW THERE,
THEY'RE DOING A STORY
ON NEXT WEEK'S BIG GAME.
I BET THEY WOULD LOVE TO HEAR
ABOUT HOW YOU WON US
OUR FIRST STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.
WELL, WELL, WELL,
I BET THEY WOULD AT THAT.
THANK YOU FOR THE HEADS UP.
LISTEN,
FOR YOU,
SHOULD YOU CHANGE
YOUR MIND.
YOU REALLY SPENT FOUR YEARS
IN HIGH SCHOOL WITH THAT GUY?
AND I SURVIVED
TO TELL THE TALE.
AND NOW IF I CAN JUSSURVIVE HIM
POACHING MY CLIENTS...
HEY, SEAN.
MEET MAC SULLIVAN.
THIS IS THE WRITER
WHO HIRED US
TO RESTORE HIS HOME.
MAC, THIS IS
SEAN BROGANS,
MY CONSTRUCTION FOREMAN.
HEY, MAC.
HI.
THANK YOU
FOR STANDING UP FOR ME
WITH CLIFF.
I'M GONNA GO
GET TO WORK.
I WAS GONNA STOP BY TODAY,
WATCH YOU DO YOUR MAGIC,
AND BEFORE YOU SAY NO,
I REALLY NEED A REASON
TO PROCRASTINATE.
WORK ON THE NOVEL ISN'T GOING
AS SMOOTHLY AS I'D HOPED.
OKAY,
BUT IF YOU COME BY,
I AM GOING TO PUT YOU TO WORK.
DONE.
WAS THAT CLIFF HOGARTH I SAW
TRYING TO STEAL OUR CLIENT?
MY GOSH...
YES.
THE ONE AND ONLY.
MAN, THAT GUY NEVER GIVES UP.
YEAH, IF ONLY
THERE WAS A CURE.
WOW...
I HAVEN'T BEEN
OUT HERE IN YEARS.
OUR OFFICIAL
"BEFORE" PHOTO.
I LOVE MY JOB.
HEY.
MR. FOREMAN,
YOU'RE ON THE CLOCK.
ALL RIGHT.
ALL RIGHT...
WHO'S READY
TO TRANSFORM THIS HOUSE?
I THINK
WHAT WE NEED TO FOCUS ON
IS THE CORNER
OF THE FOUNDATION OVER HERE,
IS WHERE I NOTICE
THE MOST CRUMBLING.
OKAY.
I ACTUALLY HAVE
A GREAT FAUX-PAINTER.
REMIND ME TO CALL HER.
OKAY.
AND... WE HAVE
MARBLE COMING IN FROM ITALY.
I WANT TO GET RID
OF THE TONGUE-IN-GROOVE.
THIS MOLDING IS BEAUTIFUL.
I'LL HAVE A FEW FIXES.
YOU GOOD?
YEAH.
TRAVIS, ARE YOU OKAY?
YEAH, IT'S JUSTHIS STUPID DUMBWAITER.
IT'S STUCK BETWEEN HERE
AND THE SECOND FLOOR,
AND I JUST GAVE MYSELF
ROPE BURN.
WELL, FIRST...
YOU SHOULD BE WEARING GLOVES.
YEAH, THAT'S STUCK,
ALL RIGHT.
WHY IS THAT 2X4 THERE?
THAT'S STRANGE.
SECOND, YOU NEED
THE RIGHT TOOL
FOR THE JOB.
WHAT?
I THOUGHT YOU'D BE FINISHED
MY RESTORATION BY NOW.
YEAH. MAYBE BY LUNCH.
I'D BE HAPPY TO GETHIS DUMBWAITER
UNSTUCK BY LUNCH.
THIS BOARD
SHOULDN'T EVEN BE HERE.
BE CAREFUL.
MY GRANDMOTHER
HAD ONE OF THESE,
AND THE ONE TIME I TRIED
TO GET IT UNSTUCK--
YOU OKAY?
I HIRED YOU TO FIX MY HOUSE,
NOT DESTROY IT.
WHAT WAS THAT?
IS EVERYBODY OKAY?
THE DUMBWAITER FELL
INTO THE BASEMENT.
WE'D BETTER GO
ASSESS THE DAMAGE.
THE WHOLE THING
BUSTED INTO PIECES.
DON'T... TOUCH IT.
WHAT? WHY?
LOOK.
THAT'S HUMAN BONES,
ALL RIGHT.
LOOKS TO BE
AN ENTIRE SKELETON.
THE IMPACT FROM THE FALL
MUST HAVE BROKEN IT APART.
I WONDER HOW LONG
IT'S BEEN HERE?
WHEN I BOUGHTHE HOUSE,
THE INSPECTOR GAVE ME
A FIVE-PAGE LISOF ALL THE PROBLEMS,
BUT "A SKELETON
IN THE DUMBWAITER"
WASN'T ONE OF THEM.
WELL, KIDS HAVE BEEN
COMING HERE
AND HANGING OUT FOR YEARS.
COULD BE A KID CLIMBED
IN THE DUMBWAITER,
TRIED TO GO UP OR DOWN A FLOOR,
AND THEN IT GOT STUCK
WITH THE KID TRAPPED INSIDE.
WHAT IS THAT,
THAT SILVER THING?
LOOKS LIKE
A MEDICAL ALERT BRACELET.
IT SAYS
"ALLERGIC TO BEE STINGS."
WHAT DID YOU SAY?
WHOEVER THIS WAS,
WAS ALLERGIC TO BEE STINGS.
LILY HAD A BRACELELIKE THAT.
I THINK THAT LOOKS LIKE
LILY'S SHIRT.
WHO'S LILY?
SHE'S MY SISTER.
SEAN, HOLD ON!
I'LL GO TALK TO HIM.
SEAN, WAIT!
LILY BROGANS,
HERE THE WHOLE TIME.
EVERYONE THOUGHSHE'D GONE TO CALIFORNIA.
YOU KNEW HER, TOO?
YEAH, EVERYONE
IN OUR SCHOOL KNEW LILY.
SHE WAS THE LEAD
IN EVERY SCHOOL PLAY.
SHE WAS SUPER TALENTED.
SHE DATED THE QUARTERBACK
OF OUR FOOTBALL TEAM,
CLIFF HOGARTH.
SHE'D GIVEN
THIS GREAT SPEECH
AT OUR GRADUATION
ABOUT CHASING YOUR DREAMS,
AND A FEW DAYS AFTER THAT,
SHE WAS GONE.
THAT WAS IT?
A GIRL VANISHES,
THERE'S NO INVESTIGATION?
NO, THERE WAS
AN INVESTIGATION.
I STILL REMEMBER THE DETECTIVE
INTERVIEWING PEOPLE ALL SUMMER.
BUT HER PARENTS, THEY WERE
ON THE VERGE OF DIVORCE,
AND SHE ALWAYS SAID
SHE WAS GONNA LEAVE
AFTER GRADUATION.
IT BECAME
THE OFFICIAL CONCLUSION
THAT LILY BROGANS HAD GONE OFF
TO CHASE HER DREAMS.
DR. WENDERS.
OFFICER SLOANE.
WHERE ARE THE REMAINS?
RIGHT HERE.
LET'S HAVE A LOOK.
HEY...
MAYBE IT'S NOT LILY.
IT'S HER.
I KNOW IT.
THAT IS WHAT SHE WAS
WEARING
THE LAST TIME
THAT I SAW HER.
HERE IN THIS ROOM.
HERE?
SEAN, I HAD NO IDEA.
SHE WAS SITTING RIGHT HERE.
WITH CLIFF HOGARTH.
HIS IDIOT FRIENDS
WERE DOWNSTAIRS.
SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE WAS
GOING TO MOVE AWAY.
I DIDN'T WANT HER TO GO.
SO I YELLED AT HER,
I CALLED HER SELFISH.
AND CLIFF, HE JUST...
HE JUST LAUGHED AT ME,
AND CALLED ME A WHINEY KID,
SO I LEFT.
GOD, I WAS SO MAD.
LATER, MY MOM CALLED ME,
AND TOLD ME THAT LILY HAD LEFWITHOUT SAYING GOODBYE.
AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS MY FAULT.
AND THEN WHEN WE DIDN'HEAR FROM HER,
I THOUGHTHAT WAS MY FAULT, TOO.
AFTER MY DAD DIED,
AND THEN MY MOM, I...
I HIRED A PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR
TO LOOK FOR HER.
HE DIDN'T FIND
ANY SIGN OF HER.
YOU KNOW, MOST PEOPLE,
THEY THOUGHT THAT MEANSHE WAS DEAD.
BUT I... NEVER GAVE UP HOPE.
I KNOW.
AND SHE WAS HERE,
THE WHOLE TIME,
JUST STUCK IN THAT...
I LEFT HER HERE
ALONE IN THIS ROOM
WITH CLIFF.
YOU DON'T THINK THAT CLIFF
HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH--
TOMMY SENT ME TO FIND YOU.
HE HAS SOME QUESTIONS
FOR YOU, SEAN.
THANKS.
WE'LL BE RIGHT OUT.
OKAY.
IT'LL BE ALL RIGHT.
YEAH.
I ALSO SEE WHAT LOOKS TO ME LIKE
PERIMORTEM BREAKS
IN NUMEROUS BONES,
INCLUDING THE SKULL.
WAIT, YOU MEAN
THE BREAKS DIDN'T HAPPEN
WHEN THE DUMBWAITER FELL?
NO, I'D ASSUME
THEY HAPPENED
AT TIME OF DEATH.
HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE
IF SHE WAS WEDGED
IN THE DUMBWAITER,
STUCK BETWEEN FLOORS?
I COULD BE WRONG.
I'LL KNOW MORE
WHEN I CAN GET A CLOSER LOOK
AT THE REMAINS.
RIGHT NOW, I'D CALL IA SUSPICIOUS DEATH.
TOMMY, I THINK
THERE'S SOME THINGS
I NEED TO SHOW YOU.
I NEED TO SPEAK
WITH SEAN FIRST.
WHERE IS HE?
I THOUGHT HE WAS
RIGHT BEHIND ME.
LOOK OUT THERE.
HE'S TAKING OFF
IN YOUR TRUCK.
I THINK I KNOW
WHERE HE'S GOING.
WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT!
YOU'RE CRAZY!
SEAN, BACK OFF NOW!
YOU WERE WITH HER!
YOU WERE THE LAST ONE
TO SEE HER!
CALM DOWN!
SEAN!
YOU WERE THE LAST ONE
TO SEE HER...
WE THINK WE'VE FOUND
LILY'S REMAINS
AT THE CRADDOCK PLACE.
HEY!
COOL IT!
TOMMY, THE LASTIME I SAW LILY,
SHE WAS ALIVE AND WELL.
MY FRIENDS
CAN VOUCH FOR IT.
AND THEY ALSO SAW
THAT YOU WERE THE ONE
YELLING AT HER THAT NIGHT,
SO IF ANYBODY DID
ANYTHING TO HER,
IT WAS YOU!
NO--
SEE, TOMMY?
DO YOU SEE THAT?
HE ATTACKED ME, AND I WANT HIM
ARRESTED FOR ASSAULT.
CLIFF, COME ON.
NO, NO, NO,
I'M PRESSING CHARGES.
I'M CALLING CHIEF JENSEN
RIGHT NOW!
ALL RIGHT,
SHOW'S OVER,
BACK TO WORK.
ALL RIGHT, SEAN,
TURN AROUND,
PUT YOUR HANDS
BEHIND YOUR BACK
FOR ME, PLEASE.
WHAT? HEY.
TOMMY, IS THIS NECESSARY?
IT WAS HIS SISTER.
IF THEY DON'T,
I'M JUST GONNA COME BACK HERE
AND TAKE THAT LIAR APART.
TOMMY...
HE DID SOMETHING TO HER,
I KNOW IT.
SEAN, WE'RE LAUNCHING
AN INVESTIGATION,
WE'LL GET TO THE BOTTOM
OF IT, ALL RIGHT?
NOW, TAKE HIM
DOWN TO THE CAR,
READ HIM HIS RIGHTS.
I'LL CALL AHEAD,
AND LET 'EM KNOW WE'RE COMING.
I'LL COME BAIL YOU OUAS SOON AS
YOU'RE ARRAIGNED.
WHAT I CARE ABOUIS MAKING SURE
THAT WHOEVER
KILLED MY SISTER PAYS.
YOU GOTTA HELP ME MAKE SURE
CLIFF DOESN'T GET AWAY WITH IT.
PROMISE ME!
OKAY.
HEY.
WE SHOULD TELL TOMMY
WHAT YOU TOLD ME IN THE CAR.
HEY, THERE'S SOME STUFF
I SHOULD SHOW YOU
AT THE CRADDOCK HOUSE,
AND THE CHIEF SHOULD
SEE IT, TOO.
ALL RIGHT.
THE DUMBWAITER WAS STUCK
BETWEEN THE FIRSAND THE SECOND FLOOR.
THERE WAS A PIECE OF WOOD
STOPPING IT FROM MOVING.
UM...
THIS PIECE RIGHT HERE.
THIS WOOD IS NOT THE SAME WOOD
USED TO CONSTRUCT THE SHAFT.
SO, WHAARE YOU SAYING?
SOMEBODY SECURED
THIS PIECE OF WOOD IN THE SHAFTO KEEP THE DUMBWAITER
FROM MOVING.
THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE.
LOOK AT THIS
BANISTER RIGHT HERE,
THIS JAGGED BREAK.
THERE IS ADHESIVE
IN THE CRACK,
LIKE SOMEBODY TRIED
TO GLUE IT BACK TOGETHER.
OKAY...
SO WHERE ARE YOU GOING
WITH THIS?
IT'S A SLOPPY JOB,
AND THEY DIDN'T FIX IT.
IT'S MORE LIKE
THEY WERE JUST TRYING
TO HIDE THE BREAK.
THERE'S MORE.
NOW, I NOTICED THIS
ON MY FIRST WALK-THROUGH
OF THE HOUSE--
THESE CRACKS
IN THE TILE RIGHT HERE,
DIRECTLY BELOW THE BREAK
IN THE BANISTER.
NOW, THE MEDICAL
EXAMINER SAID
THAT SHE SAW BREAKS IN THE BONES
THAT HAPPENED
AT THE TIME OF DEATH.
AND YOU SAID IYOURSELF, TOMMY.
I MEAN, THERE'S NO WAY SOMEBODY
COULD BREAK THEIR BONES
WHILE BEING STUCK
IN A DUMBWAITER THAT CAN'T MOVE.
UNLESS THAT PERSON
FELL THROUGH THE BANISTER.
OR WAS PUSHED.
AND SOMEONE
TOOK THAT BODY,
AND PUT IT IN THE DUMBWAITER,
AND MADE SURE
IT WOULDN'T BE FOUND.
THEN THIS WASN'T JUSA SUSPICIOUS DEATH.
IT WAS MURDER.
HEY.
THANKS FOR COMING OVER, JEN.
I CAN'T BELIEVE
THAT LILY WAS MURDERED.
AND POOR SEAN.
I MEAN, YOU CAN'T BLAME HIM
FOR GETTING A LITTLE
CRAZY WITH GRIEF.
I KNOW.
I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD HAVE
GONE TO THE COURTHOUSE
TO LEND HIM MORAL SUPPORWHILE HE FACED THE JUDGE.
HE DOESN'WANT YOU THERE.
YOU'RE HIS BOSS,
IT'S TOO
EMBARRASSING FOR HIM.
THEN YOU
SHOULD HAVE GONE.
I'M HIS OLD BOSS.
YEAH, AND YOU HIRED HIM
AT WHAT, 18?
YOU'RE THE CLOSEST THING HE HAS
TO A FATHER FIGURE ANYMORE.
HEY, UM...
I JUST WENT BY THE HOUSE.
TOMMY SAID THEY MADE
A POSITIVE I.D. ON THE SKELETON
USING DENTAL RECORDS.
THEY'RE GOING TO RELEASE
A STATEMENT LATER TODAY,
BUT...
IT IS LILY BROGANS.
MAN...
WE ALL EXPECTED
IT, BUT...
STILL.
YOU KNOW,
I KEEP THINKING
ABOUT MY FIRST DAY
AT LIGHTHOUSE COVE HIGH.
DO YOU REMEMBER,
SHANNON?
IT WAS
SOPHOMORE YEAR.
IT WAS LILY WHO VOLUNTEERED
TO SHOW ME AROUND THE SCHOOL.
I MEAN, DO YOU REALLY
THINK IT'S POSSIBLE
THAT CLIFF HOGARTH COULD HAVE...
KILLED HER?
I DON'T KNOW.
I PROMISED SEAN THAI WOULD HELP HIM FIND OUT.
AND WHY YOU DID THAT,
I DON'T KNOW.
DAD, I'VE WORKED SIDE BY SIDE
WITH HIM FOR YEARS.
HE ASKED FOR MY HELP.
THE LEAST I COULD DO
IS GO TALK TO CLIFF.
NO.
NO, CLIFF'S TOO VOLATILE.
YOU NEED TO STAY AWAY FROM HIM.
WELL, I COULD TALK TO HIM.
I MEAN, I COULD TELL HIM
THAT BECAUSE THE WORK'S
BEEN DELAYED,
HE MIGHT AS WELL
COME AND GIVE ME A BID
ON THE RESTORATION.
IF HE THINKS
THAT HE CAN GET MY BUSINESS,
I MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET HIM
TO TALK ABOUT LILY.
BUT SHOULDN'T YOU
BE WRITING?
WRITING...
YOU KNOW, THAT'S SORT OF...
A SUBCONSCIOUS THING ANYWAY,
AND YOU WOULDN'T WANT ME
TO LET MY SKILLS
AS AN INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER
GET RUSTY.
MY GOSH,
YOU KNOW WHO'S GOING
TO BE DEVASTATED
IS LILY'S BEST FRIEND
FROM HIGH SCHOOL.
DENISE JONES.
YEAH.
SHE'S, UM, SHE'S
THE DRAMA TEACHER
AT THE HIGH SCHOOL NOW.
WE SHOULD REALLY,
WE SHOULD GO THERE,
AND WE SHOULD TELL HER.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
BUT SEAN'S GOING TO BE
CALLING ANY MINUTE.
I'LL POST BAIL FOR SEAN.
YOU BREAK THE NEWS
TO DENISE, OKAY?
OKAY.
- THANKS.
I'LL GO TALK TO CLIFF,
SEE IF I CAN GET HIS STORY.
THANKS.
WOW.
THIS PLACE HASN'CHANGED A BIT.
TOUCHDOWN!
AND THE BULLDOGS WIN
ANOTHER STATE CHAMPIONSHIP!
YEAH,
AND THE FOOTBALL PLAYERS
HAVEN'T CHANGED MUCH EITHER.
RIGHT?
YES, EVERYBODY
LOVES THE BULLDOGS.
I'LL SEE IF WE HAVE
ANY MORE TICKETS.
I'LL SEE
IF SHE'S HERE.
PLEASE HOLD.
WOW, I'M HAVING
SUCH A MEMORY RUSH.
THIS IS WHERE I FIRST MET LILY.
LIKE, RIGHT IN THIS SPOT.
HEY! SHANNON...
ARE YOU BACK
TO FINISH THE SNACK BAR?
UM, ACTUALLY WE'RE
HERE TO SEE YOUR WIFE.
YOU REMEMBER JEN?
SURE, YEAH, YEAH,
GOOD TO SEE YOU, JENNIFER.
HEY, BRAD.
SO, WHY DO YOU NEED
TO SEE DENISE?
WE HAVE
TO GIVE HER SOME NEWS,
ABOUT LILY BROGANS.
HAVEN'T HEARD THAT NAME
IN A WHILE,
NOT SINCE SHE LEFT TOWN.
UM...
BRAD, LILY'S BODY
WAS FOUND YESTERDAY
AT THE CRADDOCK HOUSE.
SHE NEVER
LEFT TOWN AT ALL.
THEY, UM, THEY THINK
THAT SHE WAS MURDERED.
MAN.
THAT'S ROUGH.
THAT IS...
THAT IS GONNA HIT DENISE HARD.
I'LL GO GET HER OUT OF CLASS.
BUT FIRST I SHOULD TELL DARREN.
SURE.
HEY, DARREN...
THAT'S RIGHT.
I FORGOT, THAVICE-PRINCIPAL DEAN,
HE'S NOW PRINCIPAL.
IT'S
SO CRAZY BEING BACK HERE.
SO I'LL GO GET DENISE,
AND SHE'LL MEET YOU
IN THE TEACHERS' LOUNGE.
THANKS.
I DON'T SUPPOSE YOU REMEMBER
WHERE THE TEACHERS' LOUNGE IS?
HOW ABOUT I SHOW YOU
WHERE IT IS?
BRAD TOLD ME
ABOUT LILY BROGANS.
IT'S VERY UPSETTING.
WE'RE WORRIED
ABOUT HOW DENISE
WILL TAKE THE NEWS.
I'M WORRIED ABOUTHE STUDENTS AS WELL.
NEWS OF THE MURDER
OF A GIRL THEIR OWN AGE,
A GIRL WHO WAS ALSO
A STUDENT HERE,
THEY COULD BE THROWN
FOR A LOOP.
RIGHT.
SO PLEASE BE CAREFUL
IN HOW YOU RELAY THE NEWS
TO DENISE?
OF COURSE.
THANK YOU.
I'LL GO CALL
THE DISTRICT PSYCHOLOGIST,
MAKE SURE SHE'LL BE AROUND
THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
HERE YOU GO.
THANK YOU,
PRINCIPAL DEAN.
WOW, I'VE NEVER
BEEN IN HERE.
WHEN I WAS A KID,
THIS SEEMED LIKE
A SECRET, MAGICAL ROOM.
I KNOW.
AND NOW HERE WE ARE.
CLIFF?
CLIFF? HEY!
I THOUGHT I MIGHFIND YOU HERE.
YEAH? WHY IS THAT?
WELL, UM, WITH
CONSTRUCTION ON MY HOUSE
BEING DELAYED,
I THOUGHT I MIGHTAKE YOU UP
ON YOUR OFFER
FOR A BID.
YEAH, WE COULD
TALK ABOUT THAT.
UM, TALK TO KIMBERLY,
MY SECRETARY.
SHE'LL MAKE
AN APPOINTMENT FOR YOU--
WELL, IF YOU HAVE
A COUPLE MINUTES,
I'D LOVE TO DO IT NOW.
SORRY.
I GOTTA GET SOME PLANS
FILED WITH THE CITY.
TALK TO KIM.
OKAY, I MIGHT BE GETTING RUSTY.
DENISE...
HI, SHANNON.
HI.
HI.
I HAVEN'SEEN YOU IN AGES.
I KNOW.
SO, BRAD TOLD YOU?
THAT LILY'S DEAD? YEAH.
WE DIDN'T WANT YOU
TO HAVE TO HEAR ABOUT ION THE NEWS.
WE ARE SO SORRY.
WE KNOW WHAGOOD FRIENDS YOU WERE.
YEAH.
SHE WAS MY BEST FRIEND.
I REMEMBER THINKING, THOUGH, HOW
STRANGE IT WAS
THAT LILY WOULD HAVE LEFWITHOUT SAYING GOODBYE.
I SHOULD HAVE TRUSTED
MY INSTINCTS.
IT SEEMS LIKE
WE ALL SHOULD HAVE DONE
SOMETHING DIFFERENT,
JUST SHOULD HAVE KNOWN SOMEHOW.
I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE IT.
EXCUSE ME.
IT'S MY DAD.
OKAY.
HEY, DAD.
HOW'S SEAN?
I IMAGINE NOT TOO GOOD.
I GOT TIRED OF WAITING,
SO I WENT DOWN
TO THE POLICE STATION,
AND TOMMY TOLD ME
THAT SEAN'S ARRAIGNMENWON'T BE UNTIL TOMORROW.
WHAT? WHY?
I DON'T KNOW.
HE WOULDN'T TELL ME.
I'M GOING TO GO
DOWN THERE RIGHT NOW.
OKAY.
I'M ON MY WAY TO SEE
AN LAWYER FRIEND OF MINE,
SEE IF HE CAN HELP.
ALL RIGHT.
LOVE YOU. THANKS.
BYE-BYE.
- BYE.
HEY, YOU GUYS,
I'M SO SORRY,
BUT I HAVE TO RUN.
THAT'S OKAY.
YEAH, IT'S FINE.
I'M GONNA STAY
A LITTLE WHILE LONGER.
THANKS, SHANNON.
BYE.
HEY, WHY IS SEAN STILL
SITTING IN A JAIL CELL?
HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN
ARRAIGNED TODAY.
CHIEF JENSEN WANTS HIM
TO COOL HIS HEELS ANOTHER DAY
WHILE WE FOLLOW UP
ON SOME LEADS.
WHAT DO YOU
MEAN, LEADS?
YOU ARRESTED HIM
FOR ATTACKING CLIFF.
SHOW ME YOUR BADGE,
I'LL BE HAPPY
TO DISCUSS THAT WITH YOU.
HEY...
YOU KNOW MY DAD AND I
ARE THE CLOSEST THING
THAT SEAN HAS
TO FAMILY IN THIS TOWN.
FINE.
YOU KNOW THE GIST OF IT ALREADY.
YOU WERE THERE
WHEN CLIFF ACCUSED SEAN
OF FIGHTING WITH LILY
THE NIGHT BEFORE
SHE DISAPPEARED.
YES, SEAN ADMITS THAT.
WELL, WE PULLED A CASE FILE
ON THE INVESTIGATION DONE
ON LILY'S DISAPPEARANCE.
TWO OF CLIFF'S FRIENDS
THAT WERE WITH HIM
THAT NIGHAT THE CRADDOCK PLACE
REPORTED SEEING A CAR
SITTING OUTSIDE THE HOUSE
WHEN THEY LEFT.
WE ASKED CLIFF
ABOUT IT YESTERDAY.
HE REMEMBERED THE CAR.
HE SAYS HE THOUGHSEAN WAS DRIVING IT.
BUT SEAN LEFT BEFORE CLIFF.
THAT'S WHY
HE WAS SO UPSET YESTERDAY.
CLIFF WAS THE LAST ONE
TO SEE HER.
OR SEAN WAITED FOR CLIFF
AND HIS FRIENDS TO LEAVE,
AND THEN WENT BACK INSIDE.
ARE YOU TELLING ME
THAT YOU THINK SEAN IS A SUSPECIN HIS OWN SISTER'S MURDER?
LET'S JUST SAY
HE'S A PERSON OF INTERESRIGHT NOW,
AND WE DON'T WANT HIM
TAKING OFF, OKAY?
WHAT?
SO, SEAN ATTACKED CLIFF?
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
WHY WOULD HE DO THAT?
WELL, HE SAID
THAT CLIFF WAS THE LAST ONE
TO SEE LILY ALIVE.
HE WAS WITH HER
THE NIGHT BEFORE
SHE DISAPPEARED,
SO...
WHAT? WHY WOULD CLIFF
BE WITH HER?
WELL, WHY WOULDN'T HE BE?
I MEAN, HE WAS HER BOYFRIEND.
WELL.
NOT EXACTLY.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING HERE?
DENISE NEEDS
TO TALK TO TOMMY.
TO TELL HIM WHAT?
THAT LILY BROKE UP WITH CLIFF
THE DAY BEFORE GRADUATION.
REALLY?
YEAH, DENISE TOLD TOMMY
ALL ABOUT CLIFF AND LILY'S
ROCKY RELATIONSHIP.
HE CALLED CLIFF,
AND ASKED HIM TO COME IN
FOR MORE QUESTIONING.
AND THIS SUPPOSED BREAK-UP
DIDN'T COME UP
WHEN THEY WERE INVESTIGATING
LILY'S DISAPPEARANCE?
WELL, IT HAPPENED
AT THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR,
SO NOT MANY PEOPLE
KNEW ABOUT IT,
AND THEN SHE WENT AWAY
FOR A VACATION WITH HER FAMILY,
AND THE POLICE JUST NEVER
INTERVIEWED HER.
WELL, LET'S SEE WHAT HOGARTH
HAS TO SAY FOR HIMSELF.
I'M ABOUT TO INVITE MYSELF
ONTO HIS BOAT.
ASK HIM ABOUT THE CAR
HE SAID HE AND HIS FRIENDS SAW
SITTING OUTSIDE THE HOUSE
THAT NIGHT.
YES, MA'AM.
HEY!
YOUR SECRETARY SAID
YOU'D BE HERE
THIS AFTERNOON.
PERMISSION
TO COME ABOARD?
GRANTED.
ALL RIGHT.
...WELL, FINISH
RE-RIGGING THE SHEETS,
AND REPLACE THE HALYARD.
I'M GETTING IT READY
FOR A TRIP DOWN
TO MEXICO THIS SUMMER.
AW, THAT SOUNDS
LIKE A GOOD TIME.
WOW.
YEAH, IT WILL BE.
BOY, I'M ENJOYING
THAT BEER.
WELL, I HOPE
IT GETS ME
A COUPLE BUCKS KNOCKED
OFF THE RESTORATION.
WELL, IT MIGHAT THAT.
GOOD.
AND I FELT BAD.
I HEARD YOU GOT GRILLED
BY THE COPS AGAIN TODAY.
YOU FOLLOWING ME AROUND?
NAH, SMALL TOWN.
PEOPLE TALK, YOU KNOW.
HEARD THEY WANTED TO TALK
ABOUT YOU AND LILY BREAKING UP
RIGHT BEFORE
SHE DISAPPEARED.
YEAH, LIKE IT'S
SOME BIG OLD SECRET.
RIGHT?
AND YOU GUYS WERE GOING
IN SEPARATE DIRECTIONS ANYWAYS.
SHE WAS OFF TO HOLLYWOOD.
YOU GOT A FOOTBALL
SCHOLARSHIP TO...
UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN.
MICHIGAN?
YEAH.
GIRLS MUST HAVE BEEN
LINED UP TO DATE YOU.
YEAH, THEY WERE.
TRUST ME.
AND YOU AND LILY
STAYED FRIENDS.
I MEAN, YOU SAW HER
THE NIGHT BEFORE
SHE DISAPPEARED.
THAT'S EXACTLY
WHAT I TOLD TOMMY.
YOU KNOW,
SHE CALLED ME
THAT NIGHT.
SHE HAD
A JACKET OF MINE
THAT SHE WANTED
TO GIVE BACK.
WELL, HER BROTHER
SHOWED UP
AND STARTED
GIVING HER GRIEF.
MY GUYS AND I LEFRIGHT AFTER HE DID.
YOU KNOW, TOMMY REMINDED ME
ABOUT SOMETHING.
WHEN MY FRIENDS AND I
WERE LEAVING,
WE SAW A BLACK CAR
PARKED UNDER A TREE
JUST TO THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE,
AND SEAN WAS DRIVING
HIS DAD'S CAR
IN THOSE DAYS,
AND I'M THINKING
IT WAS BLACK.
BOY, SEAN WAS REALLY
YELLING AT HER,
HIS FACE ALL RED...
MAYBE HE WAITED
FOR ME TO LEAVE,
AND WENT BACK IN
TO FINISH THEIR FIGHT.
MAYBE HE PUSHED HER,
I DON'T KNOW.
SO, AM I GONNA BID
ON YOUR RESTORATION OR WHAT?
ABSOLUTELY.
ATTABOY.
SO, IF IT WAS
A BLACK CAR
THAT CLIFF
AND HIS FRIENDS SAW,
THEN IT WASN'T SEAN.
I HAPPEN TO KNOW
THAT SEAN BORROWED
HIS DAD'S CAR IN HIGH SCHOOL,
AND IT WAS GREEN.
HOW DO YOU
REMEMBER THAT?
UM...
I BACKED INTO IAT THE GROCERY STORE
PARKING LOT,
WITH MR. BROGANS IN IT.
WHAT?
IT WAS MY FIRST YEAR DRIVING,
AND IN MY DEFENSE,
MY DAD'S TRUCK WAS HUGE.
I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE
BEEN ABLE TO SEE THAT.
THE INCREDIBLY ABLE
SHANNON HUGHES
MISCALCULATING
SOMETHING?
WHAT, SO
YOUR FIRST YEAR OF DRIVING,
NO FENDER BENDERS?
NO.
WELL, I DROVE MY SISTER'S
COROLLA INTO A DITCH,
BUT THAT DOESN'T COUNAS A FENDER BENDER,
BECAUSE THE FENDER
WAS NOT BENT.
IT WAS CRUSHED.
I TOTALED
THE WHOLE THING.
SHE'S STILL MAD.
WELL, IT'S A GOOD THING
WE DIDN'T GROW UP
IN THE SAME TOWN.
WE WOULD HAVE CRASHED INTO
EACH OTHER LEFT AND RIGHT.
I'M SURE WE WOULD HAVE.
SO, BACK TO WORK.
UM...
WHEN THE POLICE SAY
THAT WE CAN GET BACK
INTO YOUR HOUSE--
YEAH,
THEY ALREADY TOLD ME
YOU CAN GO BACK IN.
GUESS THEY DIDN'T FIND MUCH
IN THE WAY OF EVIDENCE.
REALLY? NOTHING?
WELL, THEY WEREN'GOING TO FIND MUCH
20 YEARS
AFTER THE FACT,
BUT AT LEAST NOW
WE CAN GET CLIFF
TO GIVE US THE QUOTE.
AND SEE IF HIS STORY
HOLDS UP.
GOOD.
BECAUSE I KNOW
SEAN DID NOT HURT LILY.
SO, HOW ARE YOU, SEAN?
ARE YOU DOING ANY BETTER?
I'M HANGING IN THERE.
I'M JUST GLAD SHANNON
GOT ME OUOF THAT JAIL CELL.
IT WAS RIDICULOUS
TO EVER SUSPECT YOU.
THIS IS READY TO GO, HONEY.
GOOD.
I WENT THROUGH
MY OLD HIGH SCHOOL BOX,
LOOKING FOR
PHOTOS OF LILY.
YOU KNOW, IN CASE
YOU WANT TO HOLD
A MEMORIAL FOR HER SOMETIME?
UM... YEAH,
I'LL THINK ABOUT IT.
OKAY.
WELL, I FOUND
ALL KINDS OF STUFF,
AND BRAD SCANNED IINTO A VIDEO,
AND...
IT'S STILL
A WORK IN PROGRESS,
BUT WE THOUGHYOU'D LIKE TO SEE IT.
YEAH.
OKAY.
FLY...
LIKE A RAVEN...
BLACK HONEY
INTO THE NIGHT
SOFT...
LIKE THE AIR BENEATH
A SWAN--
SERIOUSLY, LILY?
YOU HAVE TO WRITE
IN THAT DIARY
EVEN AT DRESS REHEARSAL?
FOR THE FAMOUS MEMOIR
I'M GOING TO WRITE SOMEDAY.
DREAM...
ARE YOU GUYS HUNGRY?
I MADE
SOME SANDWICHES.
YEAH,
THAT'D BE GREAT.
THANK YOU.
OKAY.
DO YOU WANT TO STARTHE COFFEE, HONEY?
SO LILY KEPT A DIARY?
YEAH, SHE USED TO WRITE
IN THOSE BLANK JOURNALS
ALL THE TIME.
SHE'D JUST FILL THEM UP,
ONE AFTER THE OTHER.
DO YOU STILL HAVE ANY OF THEM?
A COUPLE.
THEY'RE FROM
WHEN SHE WAS YOUNGER.
THEN WHEN SHE GOT OLDER,
SHE WOULD HIDE THOSE THINGS
WHERE NOBODY COULD FIND THEM.
HIDE THEM WHERE, HER ROOM?
ANYWHERE BUT THERE.
MY MOM WAS NOSY.
I DON'T KNOW,
I MEAN, THE LAST TIME I SAW HER
WRITE IN ONE OF THOSE
WAS THE... CRADDOCK HOUSE.
SEAN SAID
SHE USED TO SLEEP
IN HERE SOMETIMES.
IF SHE FELT SAFE ENOUGH
TO SLEEP IN HERE,
I BET SHE FELIT WAS A GOOD PLACE
TO HIDE HER DIARY.
BUT WHERE'S
A GOOD HIDING PLACE?
I DON'T SEE
TOO MANY POSSIBILITIES.
YOU'RE A WRITER.
USE YOUR IMAGINATION.
LOOK WHAT I FOUND.
I WON'T PRETEND
WE DIDN'READ THROUGH THE DIARY
WHILE WE WERE
WAITING FOR YOU.
I WOULD HAVE
BET MONEY ON IT.
ANYTHING
I SHOULD BE LOOKING FOR?
MOST OF IT SEEMS TO BE
LILY WRITING ABOUT HOW MUCH
SHE WANTED TO BE IN THE MOVIES.
OR HOW SHE WAS AFRAID
HER PARENTS MIGHGET A DIVORCE.
BUT THERE WERE A FEW THINGS
THAT SURPRISED ME.
SHE WAS FAILING MATH,
AND SHE TALKS ABOUT WANTING
TO HIRE BRAD JONES
TO TUTOR HER.
I DIDN'T KNOW
BRAD TUTORED STUDENTS.
I WISH
I'D KNOWN THAT,
I BARELY MADE ITHROUGH TRIG.
IS THERE ANYTHING
ABOUT CLIFF?
NOT A LOT,
WHICH I DON'T GET.
I MEAN,
HER BOYFRIEND?
SHE DOES TALK ABOUA FIGHT THAT THEY GOT IN
AFTER SHE ACCUSED HIM
OF CHEATING.
I MEAN, WE SAW
THAT COMING.
BUT THE MOSSURPRISING THING TO ME
IS HOW SHE TALKS
ABOUT DENISE.
SHE CALLS HER
QUOTE "TWO-FACED,"
SAID THAT SHE LIED ABOUT HER
TO THE DRAMA TEACHER.
LIED
ABOUT WHAT?
I DON'T KNOW,
THIS IS THE LAST PAGE
OF THE DIARY,
AND SHE WROTE THIS
A GOOD MONTH BEFORE SHE DIED.
YOU KNOW,
HER BROTHER SAID
SHE USED TO FILL DIARIES,
LIKE, ONE AFTER ANOTHER,
SO WE WERE THINKING
SHE MIGHT HAVE ANOTHER ONE
HIDDEN SOMEWHERE.
PROBABLY SOMEWHERE
IN THIS HOUSE.
WE SEARCHED ITHOROUGHLY,
ALTHOUGH WE DIDN'FIND THIS ONE.
GUESS IT IS POSSIBLE.
I CAN BRING ANOTHER TEAM IN
TO SEARCH AGAIN.
I'M ABOUTO TEAR THIS PLACE UP
TO RENOVATE IT.
I CAN JUST LET MY CREW KNOW
TO KEEP A LOOK OUT.
THAT'LL DO.
I CAN'T BELIEVE I LET YOU
TALK ME INTO THIS.
I MEAN, DO YOU REALLY THINK
THAT DENISE AND BRAD
ARE GOING TO BELIEVE
WE'RE HERE
TO GIVE THEM COOKIES?
WHY NOT?
EVERYBODY WHO STAYS
AT YOUR B&B
LOVES YOUR RECIPES.
AND WHO WOULDN'T LOVE
GETTING ONE
OF THESE BASKETS?
YOU REALLY DON'T THINK
THAT THEY'RE GONNA KNOW
THAT WE'RE HERE
TO GRILL THEM?
DON'T THINK OF IAS GRILLING.
JUST THINK OF IT AS...
REMINISCING.
HEY, LOIS,
WE'RE HERE TO SEE BRAD.
HE'S WITH A STUDENT,
SHOULD BE OUT IN A MINUTE.
YOU KNOW, IT'S TOO BAD
YOU DIDN'T FIND
MORE OF LILY'S
DIARIES YESTERDAY.
I KNOW, BUT...
WE'RE NOT GIVING UP.
WE SEARCHED THE SECOND
FLOOR YESTERDAY,
AND WE'RE GOING BACK TONIGHTO SEARCH THE GROUND FLOOR.
OKAY.
WHY DON'T YOU TALK TO BRAD,
AND I'LL GO TALK TO DENISE,
AND THEN WE CAN
GET THIS OVER WITH?
OKAY.
OKAY.
NO, GOVERNOR,
WE'VE GOT TWO VIP SEATS
SAVED FOR YOU
FOR THE BIG GAME...
YEAH, OKAY, ALL RIGHT.
I'LL SEE YOU
AFTER PRACTICE.
YEAH, AT 4:30.
TELL ME THAT KID
DOESN'T REMIND YOU
OF CLIFF HOGARTH.
YEAH.
HEY, WALK WITH ME?
I NEED SOMETHING
FROM MY OTHER OFFICE.
YEAH.
- OKAY.
SHANNON WAS GOING TO REPLACE
THE ENTIRE UNDERSIDE
OF THE EAVES.
SHE SAID THE WOOD
WAS STARTING TO ROT.
YOU WANT TO KEEP TELLING ME
WHAT SHE WAS GONNA DO,
OR DO YOU WANT TO HEAR
WHAT I WOULD DO?
COME ON,
EVERYONE AROUND HERE KNOWS
YOU'RE THE KING OF CONSTRUCTION.
YOU GOT THAT RIGHT.
I LIKE THE NAME
OF YOUR COMPANY, BY THE WAY.
MUST HAVE BEEN COOL
TO BE A BIG FOOTBALL HERO.
I WAS A BOOKWORM,
THE OPPOSITE OF COOL.
YEAH,
I CAN SEE THAT.
BUT THAT MUST HAVE BEEN CRAZY.
I MEAN, HAVING GIRLS
CHASE YOU AROUND.
YEAH, WELL...
I WAS WITH LILY.
RIGHT.
YOU MUST HAVE HAD FUN
WITH SOME OTHER GIRLS, TOO.
I MEAN, HOW COULD YOU RESIST?
AW, IT WASN'T HARD.
YOU GONNA WANDOUBLE-PANE WINDOWS?
YEAH.
AND MAKE SURE
YOU FACTOR IN THE COSOF SEARCHING EVERYTHING
THAT GOES OUT THE DOOR.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
ONE OF LILY'S OLD DIARIES
WAS FOUND UPSTAIRS,
SO THE POLICE THINK
THERE MIGHT BE ANOTHER ONE
HIDDEN IN THE HOUSE,
SO WHOEVER DOES THE RENOVATION
IS GONNA HAVE TO KEEP
AN EYE OUT.
PROBABLY A WASTE OF TIME.
BUT...
I MEAN, YOU KNEW HER.
DO YOU THINK SHE WOULD HAVE
WRITTEN SOMETHING DOWN
THAT WOULD POINT TO HER KILLER?
I DON'T KNOW.
I-I'VE SEEN ENOUGH HERE.
UM, I'LL...
I'LL SEND YOU MY QUOTE.
OKAY.
TELL JENNIFER I SAID THANKS.
I WILL.
I TOLD HER ABOUTHE MONTAGE YOU DID OF LILY.
SHE'S TRYING TO TALK SEAN
INTO A MEMORIAL.
YEAH, I DON'T KNOW THAHE'S KEEN ON THE IDEA.
WELL, IF IT DOES HAPPEN,
I KNOW DENISE WOULD HAVE
AMAZING STORIES TO TELL
ABOUT LILY,
EVEN IF THEY FOUGHSOMETIMES.
THAT'S WHAT YOU DO
IN HIGH SCHOOL.
WOW, THESE ARE NICE DIGS.
YEAH...
YEAH, I LIKE IBACK HERE, YOU KNOW?
I'M CLOSER TO THE COACHES,
I'M CLOSER TO THE ATHLETES,
BUT IT DOES SMELL A LITTLE
LIKE OLD TENNIS SHOES.
SO, WHAT ABOUT YOU?
IF WE HAD A MEMORIAL,
WOULD YOU HAVE SOME STORIES
TO SHARE ABOUT LILY?
NO, I DOUBT IT.
WE JUST, WE WEREN'T THAT CLOSE.
BUT YOU DID TUTOR HER, RIGHT?
YEAH, HOW'D YOU KNOW THAT?
HARDLY ANYONE KNOWS THAT.
I READ HER DIARY.
I FOUND IAT THE CRADDOCK HOUSE,
AND SHE WROTE ABOUWANTING TO HIRE YOU.
YOU FOUND LILY'S DIARY
AT THE CRADDOCK HOUSE?
YEAH, ONE OF THEM.
THERE MIGHT BE MORE.
I'M STILL LOOKING, BUT...
WHY IS IT NOBODY KNOWS
ABOUT YOU TUTORING HER?
WELL, SHE JUST, SHE DIDN'WANT ANYONE TO KNOW.
YOU KNOW, WE COULDN'T HAVE
CLIFF GETTING JEALOUS,
NOW, COULD WE?
WHY WOULD CLIFF GET JEALOUS--
KAITLYN INSTONE'S
PARENTS
ARE WAITING
IN MY OFFICE.
IS IT 10:30 ALREADY?
OKAY, I'M COMING RIGHT NOW.
EXCUSE ME.
I'M SURE BRAD WON'T MIND.
COOKIE?
YEAH.
OF COURSE, THERE'S
LOTS OF MONEY FOR FOOTBALL
AND SPORTS,
AND I KNOW THASOME OF THE FOOTBALL MONEY
PAYS FOR OTHER THINGS,
BUT DOES IT EVER
TRICKLE DOWN TO THE ARTS?
NO.
BACK WHEN WE WERE
IN SCHOOL,
IT WAS SO DIFFERENT.
LILY AND I USED TO ORDER
COSTUMES FROM A CATALOG.
REALLY?
CAN YOU IMAGINE?
SHE'D ALWAYS ORDER THE MOSEXPENSIVE ONE, TOO.
WE HAD A HUGE FIGHABOUT IT THIS ONE TIME.
WE BOTH WANTED TO ORDER
THE SAME COSTUME.
WE GOT SO CRAZY ABOUT IT.
WHAT, THAT'S ALL
IT WAS ABOUT?
DENISE,
I'M SO RELIEVED.
I MEAN, SHANNON,
SHE JUST,
SHE MADE IT SOUND LIKE
IT PRACTICALLY ENDED
YOUR FRIENDSHIP, AND--
WHAT?
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
JUST WHAT LILY SAID
ABOUT YOU IN HER DIARY.
SHANNON FOUND HER DIARY?
THE LIGHT'S OUT.
ONE MORE THING TO FIX.
THAT'S WEIRD.
SOMEONE LEFA HEATER ON?
THAT'S NOT LIKE
MY GUYS.
THIS HEATER
IS STRESSING THE CONNECTION.
IT'S TOO MUCH AMPERAGE.
OKAY, THIS WAS NOT MY GUYS.
THEY KNOW BETTER THAN TO USE
A HOUSEHOLD EXTENSION CORD.
WELL, WHO WAS IT?
DON'T TOUCH THAT,
YOU'LL BURN YOURSELF.
THAT'S TURPENTINE.
DO NOT LET THAT SAWDUSCATCH FIRE.
THIS WHOLE PLACE
MIGHT GO UP IN FLAMES.
WH-WHERE YOU GOING?
I'VE GOT TO KILL THE POWER!
RIGHT.
YOU OKAY?
I FOUND THIS
IN THE BREAKER BOX.
SOMEONE USED ITO TIE OFF THE SWITCH,
SO IT WOULDN'T TRIP
WHEN IT OVER-AMPED.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
IT MEANS SOMEBODY TRIED
TO BURN DOWN YOUR HOUSE.
THE INVESTIGATOR
CONFIRMED
THAT, YES, SOMEONE
DELIBERATELY TRIED
TO SET YOUR HOUSE
ON FIRE.
AND THEY TRIED
TO MAKE IT LOOK
LIKE AN ORDINARY
ELECTRICAL FIRE.
YEAH, NO ONE WOULD
HAVE SUSPECTED ARSON.
YOUR HOUSE WOULD HAVE BEEN
A HEAP OF ASHES BY NOW.
OKAY, BUT I DON'UNDERSTAND.
I MEAN, YOU'VE ALREADY DONE
THE CRIME SCENE THING
WITH ALL THE TAPE,
AND YOU ALREADY HAVE
ALL THE EVIDENCE
THAT YOU'RE GONNA FIND...
YEAH, SO WHY MAKE THE HOUSE
GO UP IN FLAMES NOW?
GOOD QUESTION.
WELL, WE THINK
SOMEONE WAS
TRYING TO ELIMINATE
THE CHANCE OF FINDING
MORE OF LILY'S DIARIES.
NO, THAT CAN'T BE IT.
I MEAN, ME AND THE CHIEF
ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT KNOW
THAT YOU FOUND THE FIRST DIARY.
UM, BRAD KNOWS.
I TOLD HIM.
AND I TOLD CLIFF.
AND I TOLD DENISE.
GREAT.
THE WAY GOSSIP TRAVELS
IN THIS TOWN,
ANYONE AND EVERYONE
COULD KNOW BY NOW.
SHANNON,
I WANT YOUR WORD
YOU'LL STAY AWAY
FROM THAT HOUSE
TILL I TELL YOU DIFFERENT.
FINE.
WELL...
LOOKS LIKE
WORK ON YOUR HOUSE
WILL HAVE TO BE DELAYED
FOR A WHILE.
YEAH.
HEY, I WOULDN'T BE
RUSHING OVER THERE
AFTER SUCH A CLOSE CALL.
I WISH WE'D
GOT THERE SOONER.
I THINK WE JUST MISSED
WHOEVER SET IT UP.
YEAH, IT CAN'T BE JUST ANYONE.
IT HAS TO BE SOMEBODY
THAT WE TOLD.
LIKE CLIFF, OR BRAD, OR--
DON'T SAY DENISE.
I REALLY LIKE DENISE.
AND, YES,
SHE ADMITTED TO HAVING
A FIGHT WITH LILY
BEFORE SHE DIED,
BUT IT WAS OVER A COSTUME.
YOU SAID
SHE SEEMED NERVOUS
ABOUT THE PROSPECT OF SOMEONE
FINDING ANOTHER DIARY.
OKAY, YEAH, BUT...
BRAD ACTED FUNNY, TOO.
HE SAID LILY WANTED TO KEEP
HIS TUTORING HER A SECRET,
SO THAT CLIFF
WOULDN'T GET JEALOUS.
I WISH THERE WAS A WAY TO GECLOSER TO BRAD AND DENISE.
YEAH.
HEY, DIDN'T YOU SAY
DENISE WAS COMPLAINING
THAT THE DRAMA DEPARTMENWAS HURTING FOR FUNDS?
YEAH.
I THINK I KNOW A WAY
WE CAN SPEND MORE TIME
AT THE SCHOOL.
WHEN JENNIFER TOLD ME
YOU WERE WILLING
TO HELP BUILD
THE SET FOR THE PLAY,
I WAS THRILLED.
WELL, SINCE I JUST FINISHED
THE CASSINI CONTRACT,
I MIGHT AS WELL PUT THE TIME
I ALLOTTED FOR
THE CRADDOCK HOUSE TO GOOD USE.
FANTASTIC.
OKAY, SO
I'VE SIGNED YOU BOTH IN
FOR THE VOLUNTEER LOG
FOR TODAY.
OOH... I FEEL
SO OFFICIAL.
YOU ARE,
YOU'RE AN OFFICIAL ANGEL.
SO, COME WITH ME,
WE'LL GO GET SOME FABRIC
FOR THE COSTUMES.
AND SHANNON,
I'LL COME BACK
TO TAKE YOU
TO THE WOOD SHOP
AND SHOW YOU THE MATERIALS
WE HAVE TO WORK WITH.
OKAY, UM, BUT BRAD COULD
SHOW ME IF HE HAS TIME.
EVEN BETTER.
JUST ASK HIM.
OKAY.
THANK YOU.
HEY.
DO YOU HAVE TIME TO SHOW ME
WHERE THE WOOD SHOP IS?
YEAH, IT'LL COST YOU A NICKEL.
AND WE GOTTA MAKE A PIT STOP
AT MY OTHER OFFICE.
OKAY.
- OKAY.
SO, SET-BUILDER,
THAT'S A NEW ONE
FOR OUR VOLUNTEER ROSTER.
YEAH, IT'S KIND OF LIKE
SNACK BAR-BUILDER.
MAN, WHEN YOU WALK
DOWN THESE HALLWAYS,
DO YOU EVER FEEL LIKE
YOU'RE BACK
IN SCHOOL YOURSELF?
I SOMETIMES I GETHAT TIME TRAVEL SENSATION,
YEAH.
DO YOU EVER WISH
YOU'D DATED DENISE
BACK THEN?
I THINK THINGS HAPPEN
WHEN THEY'RE
SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN.
WHAT ABOUT LILY?
WELL, YOU MENTIONED
YESTERDAY
THAT, LILY DIDN'WANT CLIFF TO KNOW
THAT YOU TWO WERE
SPENDING TIME TOGETHER,
SO IT JUSMADE ME WONDER
IF ANYTHING HAPPENED
WITH YOU TWO.
SO, WHERE IS THIS
COMING FROM?
IS THIS MORE
DIARY STUFF?
NO, I'M JUST CURIOUS.
REALLY?
'CAUSE IT KIND OF FEELS
LIKE AN ACCUSATION.
LOOK...
I WANT TO KNOW
WHAT HAPPENED TO LILY
AS MUCH AS ANYONE,
BUT SHE AND I
DON'T HAVE
SOME DEEP, DARK
HISTORY TOGETHER.
I TUTORED HER
THREE OR FOUR TIMES.
THAT'S IT.
GO ON, GET OUTTA HERE!
CHILL, I WAS
JUST TALKING
TO MY GIRLFRIEND
ON THE PHONE.
THIS IS NOA STUDENT LOUNGE!
I'M NOT GONNA
TELL YOU AGAIN!
MIKE, I'LL
TAKE CARE OF IT.
AARON, CAN YOU HOLD UP?
AARON... AARON!
HEY, CAN I TALK TO YOU
FOR A SECOND, PLEASE?
HEY!
I REMEMBER YOU FROM
WHEN I WENT TO SCHOOL HERE.
YOU'RE MIKE, RIGHT?
DO YOU REMEMBER ME?
NOT SO MUCH.
I ONLY REMEMBER
THE TROUBLEMAKERS,
AND THAT KID THERE, AARON WHITE,
HE DOES WHATEVER HE WANTS,
JUST 'CAUSE
HE CAN THROW A FOOTBALL.
WELL, I'M SURE BRAD
WILL STRAIGHTEN HIM OUT.
YOU'RE SUCH A JOKE...
HEY-- AARON.
AARON...
MORE LIKE
THE OTHER WAY AROUND.
WELL, THE BID
IS SELF-EXPLANATORY,
AND IT'S IN THE RIGHT BALLPARK,
BUT, I DO HAVE
A FEW QUESTIONS.
WELL, LET'S HEAR 'EM.
WELL, IF I
HAVE TO ADD SECURITY,
IS THAT SOMETHING THAI'D GO TO YOU FOR,
OR DO I CONTRACWITH ANOTHER COMPANY?
WELL, I'LL GET YOU
A BETTER DEAL.
GOOD.
GOOD, BECAUSE,
LAST NIGHT,
SOMEONE TRIED TO BURN
MY HOUSE DOWN.
WHAT?
YEAH, RIGGED ITO CATCH FIRE.
THAT'S CRAZY.
YEAH.
POLICE SAY THAT IT MIGHT HAVE
SOMETHING TO DO WITH LILY,
LIKE SOMEONE'S AFRAID
THAT MORE DIARIES
ARE GONNA BE FOUND,
BUT I READ THE FIRST ONE,
AND IT'S PRETTY DRY READING.
THOUGH THERE WAS A FUNNY BIABOUT HER BEING MAD
THAT YOU GOT BETTER GRADES
THAN SHE DID.
WELL, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
LILY WAS ALWAYS
SMARTER THAN ME.
THEY ALWAYS ARE.
WHAT'S UP, CLIFF?
YOU KNOW THAT CAR?
NO.
NO, AND YOU KNOW WHAT?
I'M TIRED OF ALL YOUR QUESTIONS.
I'M TIRED OF YOU TALKING
ABOUT LILY ALL THE TIME.
I'M TIRED OF THE WHOLE THING.
I DON'T WANT ANYTHING
TO DO WITH YOUR HOUSE.
I'M WITHDRAWING MY BID.
WAIT...
YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME.
THANK YOU
FOR STAYING LATE
TO HELP ME WITH
THESE COSTUMES.
ARE YOU KIDDING?
THIS WAS SO MUCH FUN.
TONIGHT, I'M GONNA LOOK
THROUGH MY PATTERN BOOK,
AND FIND SOME GOOD
COSTUME IDEAS.
PERFECT.
DENISE, DON'T FORGET,
VOLUNTEERS HAVE TO SIGN OUWHEN THEY LEAVE?
RIGHT.
I'LL DO IT.
I'LL MEET YOU GUYS OUTSIDE.
THANKS, SHAN.
ALL RIGHT.
THANKS, SHANNON.
LIKE I SAID,
THE DISTRICT WAS AWARE
OF DENISE'S RECORD.
WELL, IT SURPRISES ME
THAT YOU'D OVERLOOK
A BATTERY CONVICTION
WHEN HIRING A TEACHER.
THE INCIDENT HAPPENED
WHEN SHE WAS IN COLLEGE.
IT'S NOT UNUSUAL
FOR YOUNG PEOPLE
TO HAVE DIFFICULTY
MANAGING THEIR EMOTIONS.
SHE PASSED CUR PSYCHOLOGICAL
SCREENING WITH FLYING COLORS,
HAD A SOLID WORK HISTORY,
EXCELLENT REFERENCES.
AND I'M SURE
HAVING HER HUSBAND
LOBBYING FOR HER DIDN'T HURT.
IF YOU'RE SUGGESTING
I CAN BE PERSUADED
TO MAKE DECISIONS
AGAINST THE BEST INTERESTS
OF MY STUDENTS--
NO, I'M NOT QUESTIONING
YOUR JUDGMENT, DARREN.
GOOD.
BECAUSE DENISE JONES
IS A DEDICATED TEACHER,
AND THE SOONER YOU CAN CLEAR HER
FROM YOUR SUSPECT LIST,
THE HAPPIER WE'LL ALL BE.
OKAY, THEN.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
I WASN'T EXPECTING TO SEE
YOU GUYS ON MY DOORSTEP.
YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
WE WERE TOLD
THAT SOMEONE TRIED
TO BURN DOWN
THE CRADDOCK HOUSE.
WITH YOU IN IT.
THAT.
WHY DIDN'YOU TELL ME?
I DIDN'T WANT TO WORRY YOU.
WELL, NOW
I'M TWICE AS WORRIED.
SHANNON,
YOUR DAD IS WORRIED
THAT MAYBE
LOOKING FOR LILY'S KILLER
IS TOO DANGEROUS.
YOU'RE DARN
RIGHT I AM,
AND YOU SHOULD NEVER
HAVE ASKED HER TO DO IT.
AND YOU SHOULDN'HAVE AGREED
TO PUT YOURSELF
IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
DAD...
LOOK...
I KNOW THE WAY YOUR MOTHER DIED
STILL HAUNTS YOU.
AND I KNOW
THAT YOU DON'T TRUSTHE POLICE TO DO THE JOB--
THAT'S NOT WHAT THIS IS ABOUT--
BUT WILL NOT HAVE MY DAUGHTER
PUT HER LIFE IN DANGER
FOR YOU
OR ANYONE ELSE.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
THIS STOPS NOW.
LET THE POLICE HANDLE IT.
PLEASE.
I AM SORRY THAT I GOT YOU
IN TROUBLE WITH YOUR DAD.
HEY, HE'S MAD AT YOU, TOO.
YEAH.
HEY...
DO YOU WANT ME TO DROP THIS?
I KNOW I DON'T WANT YOU
GETTING HURT.
THAT'S NOT REALLY AN ANSWER.
I'M SORRY.
THAT'S ALL I'VE GOT.
I MUST BE
LOSING MY TOUCH.
I MEAN, THE WAY THACLIFF GRABBED THE QUOTE
AND THEN WALKED AWAY?
THAT NEVER
WOULD HAVE HAPPENED
WHEN I WAS ON MY GAME.
UM, CAN WE HAVE
A TABLE FOR TWO, PLEASE?
THANK YOU.
SEE, THIS IS WHERE
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO SAY,
"NO, MAC,
"YOU HAVEN'T LOSYOUR INVESTIGATIVE EDGE.
CLIFF IS JUSA TOUGH NUT TO CRACK."
OR, HE'S JUST WORRIED
ALL OF HIS SECRETS
MIGHT COME OUT.
I'M SURE DENISE IS.
SHE LOSES
HER TEMPER, RIGHT?
WELL, SHE DID
AT ONE POINT, BUT...
I STILL DON'T SEE
HOW ALL THE PIECES
FIT TOGETHER.
AT FIRST I THOUGHBRAD AND LILY
WERE HAVING
A SECRET ROMANCE
AND CLIFF WAS JEALOUS.
NOW I'M THINKING
MAYBE IT WAS DENISE
THAT WAS JEALOUS?
OKAY...
SO, TOMORROW'S
BACK TO SCHOOL AGAIN
FOR YOU?
OKAY, THIS
SOUNDS SILLY,
BUT WHEN I WALK
BACK IN THERE,
I FEEL ALMOST LIKE
I'M 17 AGAIN.
I FEEL INSECURE, AND AWKWARD,
AND LIKE I DON'REALLY KNOW WHO I AM,
OR WHAT I'M DOING.
MY DAD SCOLDED ME TODAY.
HE THINKS I SHOULD LEAVE
EVERYTHING UP TO THE POLICE.
LITERALLY SCOLDED ME.
THAT MADE ME FEEL
LIKE A KID, TOO.
HEY...
THIS IS WHERE YOU TELL ME THAI'M DOING THE RIGHT THING
BY FINDING LILY'S KILLER.
THAT WOULD REQUIRE
A CERTAINTY
I DON'T HAVE RIGHT NOW.
UM...
I HAVE A GIANT CASE
OF WRITER'S BLOCK.
I THOUGHT I HAD THIS GREAT,
LIKE, TRUE CRIME NOVEL IN ME,
BUT I'M
A HUNDRED PAGES IN,
AND I CAN'T EVEN GET INTO
MY PROTAGONIST'S HEAD.
I QUIT MY JOB
TO WRITE THIS NOVEL,
SO...
I'M CHASING AROUND
THIS MYSTERY WITH YOU,
RELYING ON
YOUR CERTAINTY.
YOU'RE GONNA
HAVE TO TELL ME.
IS TRYING TO FIND OUWHO KILLED LILY BROGANS
THE RIGHT THING TO DO?
YES.
ABSOLUTELY.
SEE?
I KNEW YOU'D BE CERTAIN.
YOUR UNWAVERING
MORAL COMPASS,
IT'S ONE OF MY FAVORITE
THINGS ABOUT YOU.
AND, I LOVE HOW YOU, UM,
DRUM YOUR PENCIL
WHEN YOU'RE PORING OVER
YOUR BUILDING PLANS.
REALLY?
IS THAT THE BEST YOU GOT?
I LOVE THAYOU BITE YOUR LOWER LIP
WHEN YOU'RE THINKING.
MORE COFFEE?
THANK YOU.
AW, MAN!
ARE YOU STILL GOING?
HOW AM I
SUPPOSED TO SLEEP
WITH ALL THAT NOISE?
I'M PRETTY SURE YOU'RE
SUPPOSED TO BE IN CLASS.
YEAH, ONLY IF I WANTO DIE OF BOREDOM.
YOU LOOK TOUGH,
YOU'LL SURVIVE.
BESIDES, YOU HAVE TO HAVE
PASSING GRADES
TO PLAY FOOTBALL.
I KNOW THE WHOLE SCHOOL'S
COUNTING ON YOU TO PLAY FRIDAY.
I'M GONNA PLAY.
YOU DON'T GOTTA
WORRY ABOUT THAT.
SO, ARE YOU WORRIED
ABOUT WHAT LILY WROTE
IN HER DIARY?
WHY WOULD I BE WORRIED?
JUST BECAUSE
THE POLICE,
THEY MIGHT CONSIDER YOU
A SUSPECT IN HER MURDER
BECAUSE THEY KNOW
ABOUT THE BIG FIGHT.
EVEN THOUGH I KNOW
THAT IT WAS JUSABOUT A COSTUME.
WELL, IT'D BE DUMB
TO THINK IT'S ME.
I KNOW SOMETHING
THAT COULD POINT THEM
IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
ONLY, BRAD KEEPS
TALKING ME OUT OF
SAYING ANYTHING
ABOUT IT.
WHAT? I MEAN,
WHY WOULD BRAD--
BECAUSE IT'S ABOUT CLIFF.
I DON'T KNOW,
IT'S WEIRD.
BRAD'S BEEN PROTECTIVE
OF CLIFF,
EVER SINCE SCHOOL.
SO YOU'RE SAYING
THAT YOU THINK
THAT CLIFF KILLED LILY?
WHEN LILY BROKE UP WITH CLIFF,
I ASKED HER WHY,
AND SHE SAID THASHE KNEW SOMETHING ABOUT HIM
THAT COULD TOTALLY
RUIN HIS LIFE.
I THOUGHT SHE WAS
BEING OVER DRAMATIC THEN,
BUT NOW?
HANG ON.
YOU'RE KIDDING ME.
UM, CAN I
GIVE YOU THAT?
OF COURSE.
OKAY, THANKS.
HELLO?
NO, I'M NOT LISTENING.
YOU CAN'T SAY THAT.
WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?
IT'S RIDICULOUS!
NO, I'M NOLISTENING TO YOU
IF YOU CAN'T SAY
THAT THIS ISN'T TRUE.
HEY, MIKE?
MIKE!
HEY, YOU'RE LOOKING
FOR MIKE, TOO?
YEAH, UM...
I WAS LOOKING
FOR 16-PENNY NAILS,
I THOUGHT HE MIGHT HAVE SOME.
WELL, IT DOESN'T LOOK
LIKE HE'S HERE,
AND I HAVE A MEETING TO GET TO.
I'VE GOTTA GET SPONSORS
TO BUY BANNERS FOR THE GAME.
HEY, IF YOU SEE HIM,
WILL YOU TELL HIM
ONE OF THE SHOWERS
IN THE BOYS' LOCKER ROOM
IS LEAKING?
YEAH.
- OKAY.
HEY, SHANNON.
HEY, CAN YOU FIND A REASON
TO TALK TO CLIFF AGAIN?
MAYBE.
WHAT'S UP?
REMEMBER HOW LILY CALLED CLIFF
A CHEATER IN HER DIARY?
I DON'T THINK SHE WAS TALKING
ABOUT ROMANTIC CHEATING.
ASK CLIFF IF BRAD JONES
EVER TUTORED HIM IN HIGH SCHOOL,
AND THEN ASK HIM
IF BRAD EVER HELPED HIM
CHEAT ON TESTS.
OKAY, GOT IT.
HELLO?
CLIFF!
ANYBODY HERE?
CLIFF?
SO, HOW'S CLIFF?
ANY NEWS?
YEAH, UM, THE DOCTOR SAYS
THAT HE HAS 20 STITCHES
IN HIS SCALP.
POOR GUY.
YEAH.
THE CT SCAN SAID
THERE WASN'T ANY DAMAGE,
BUT HE HASN'T REGAINED
CONSCIOUSNESS YET.
SO, WHAT,
YOU JUST FOUND HIM
ON THE FLOOR OF HIS OFFICE?
HIS EQUIPMENT ROOM.
BUT, YEAH,
THE DOOR WAS WIDE OPEN.
SECRETARY SAID THEY WERE
WORKING A LARGE PROPOSAL,
CLIFF SENT THEM TO A LATE LUNCH,
BUT HE NEVER SHOWED.
SO...
DO THEY THINK
IT'S AN ACCIDENT, OR--
GOOD THING
YOU WERE THERE.
RIGHT?
HEY, TOMMY.
WHAT'S UP?
I GUESS YOU HEARD
CLIFF HOGARTH
IS IN THE HOSPITAL.
YEAH, MAC JUST TOLD US.
WELL...
THIS IS WHAT PUT HIM THERE...
...AND IT'S GOYOUR NAME ON IT.
YOU DON'T THINK
THAT I HIT CLIFF, DO YOU?
OF COURSE NOT,
BUT I NEED YOU TO TELL ME
WHO MIGHT HAVE
GOTTEN AHOLD
OF YOUR WRENCH.
DID YOU LEND ITO ANYONE?
NO, IT WAS
IN MY TOOL BOX THIS MORNING.
AND WHERE'S
YOUR TOOL BOX NOW?
AT THE SCHOOL.
I'VE BEEN BUILDING A SEFOR THE SCHOOL PLAY.
ANYONE COULD HAVE
GRABBED IT.
ALL RIGHT, WELL,
I BETTER GO ASK CLIFF
WHO PAID HIM A VISIT.
THE DOC SAYS
HE'S STILL UNCONSCIOUS.
OKAY, WELL THEN, I GUESS
I'LL WAIT FOR HIM TO WAKE UP.
I'LL GO WITH YOU.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE
HE'S OKAY.
THAT'S A...
THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.
YOU GUYS GO AHEAD,
'CAUSE SHANNON AND I,
WE HAVE TO, UM...
WE HAVE TO GO SOMEWHERE.
WHAT? WHAT IS THE HURRY?
I THINK I KNOW
WHO TOOK YOUR WRENCH.
WHO?
HI.
HEY, CAN WE COME IN?
YEAH, COME ON IN.
WOULD YOU LIKE
SOME COFFEE?
DENISE...
CLIFF WAS ATTACKED.
THAT'S TERRIBLE.
DENISE,
I OVERHEARD CHIEF JENSEN
TELLING PRINCIPAL DEAN
THAT YOU WERE ONCE
ARRESTED FOR BATTERY.
AND WE KNOW
THAT YOU BELIEVE
THAT CLIFF, HE'S THE ONE
THAT PROBABLY KILLED LILY--
THAT'S NOWHY I--
JENN SAW YOU STANDING
NEXT TO MY TOOLBOX.
YOU REACHED IN IAND GRABBED
ONE OF THE WRENCHES,
DIDN'T YOU?
THEN WENT DOWN
TO CLIFF'S OFFICE
AND HIT HIM WITH IT?
THAT PHONE CALL I GOWHEN WE WERE TALKING?
THAT WAS CLIFF...
DEMANDING TO KNOW
WHERE BRAD WAS,
TELLING ME THAIT'S BRAD WHO KILLED LILY,
TELLING ME HE'S GONNA GO
TO THE POLICE.
I HAD TO TALK TO HIM.
I TOOK THE WRENCH
TO PROTECT MYSELF AGAINST HIM,
AND HE LAUGHED AT ME
WHEN HE SAW ME
STANDING THERE WITH IT,
SAID I DIDN'T HAVE THE GUTS
TO HIT HIM WITH IT.
TURNS OUT I HAD THE GUTS.
WHAT WAS I
SUPPOSED TO DO,
LET HIM KEEP LYING
ABOUT BRAD?
ARE YOU SURE
IT'S A LIE?
ARE YOU SURE
THAT BRAD DIDN'T--
YES, I'M SURE!
I KNOW BRAD LIKE I KNOW MYSELF.
HE'S A GOOD PERSON.
SO WHY DID CLIFF THINK
BRAD HAD A REASON TO KILL LILY?
WHAT DID LILY KNOW ABOUT BRAD?
NOTHING.
LILY KNEW THINGS
ABOUT CLIFF, NOT BRAD.
I'M SURE CLIFF KILLED LILY.
THAT'S WHY HE'S TRYING
TO PUT BLAME ON MY HUSBAND,
AND THAT'S WHY I...
I SHOULDN'T HAVE HIT HIM.
I WAS JUST SO UPSET.
I KNOW.
HEY, LISTEN,
IF YOU LIKE,
I'LL TAKE YOU
TO THE POLICE STATION,
AND YOU CAN JUSTELL THEM WHAT HAPPENED.
OKAY, UM...
I'LL GO GET MY PURSE.
WOULD YOU MIND
GETTING THAT, SHANNON?
WHAT ARE YOU...?
LET'S SAVE THAT FOR LATER.
CLIFF WOKE UP.
IS DENISE HERE?
YEAH, COME ON IN.
EASY, BUDDY.
EASY... WHOA. EASY.
YOU CAN
LEAN ON ME.
NOPE. I'LL BE FINE
RIGHT HERE.
I JUST GOTTA...
WAIT FOR THE WORLD
TO STOP SPINNING.
YOU SHOULD HAVE LET THEM
KEEP YOU AN EYE ON YOU TONIGHLIKE THEY WANTED TO.
TEN YEARS
PLAYING FOOTBALL,
I KNOW HOW TO TAKE
A KNOCK TO THE HEAD.
THANKS FOR THE RIDE.
I... I FOUND YOU.
I FELT RESPONSIBLE
TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE OKAY.
I'LL BE FINE.
BUT WHAT A COWARD BRAD IS,
SENDING HIS WIFE
TO DO HIS DIRTY WORK.
WHY YOU SO SURE
THAT HE SENT HER?
I TOLD YOU I SAW A CAR
THAT NIGHT, RIGHT?
THE LAST NIGHT I SAW LILY?
YEAH.
THREE ROUND TAILLIGHTS,
GLOWING IN THE DARK.
THAT CAR YOU WERE LOOKING AIN YOUR PARKING LOHAD THREE TAILLIGHTS.
SO IT WAS
AN IMPALA THAT NIGHT?
WOW, THAT'S COLD.
YEAH, AT THE TIME,
I THOUGHTHAT WAS SEAN'S CAR,
BUT YOU KNOW WHO DROVE
AN IMPALA IN HIGH SCHOOL?
BRAD'S BROTHER.
I TOLD TOMMY
ALL ABOUT IT.
I SHOULD NEVER HAVE TOLD LILY
WHAT BRAD DID.
WHAT DID BRAD DO?
HELP YOU CHEAON SOME TESTS?
SO YOU COULD CONTINUE
PLAYING FOOTBALL?
I TELL YOU WHAT,
GO ASK BRAD.
SERIOUSLY.
AND THEN, COME BACK
AND TELL ME WHAT HE SAYS.
THANK YOU.
HAVE A GOOD NIGHT.
BRAD?
HEY...
YOU OKAY?
I WAS SUPPOSED TO MEET,
DENISE FOR DINNER.
SHE JUST CALLED,
SHE'S BEEN ARRESTED FOR...
FOR ATTACKING CLIFF HOGARTH.
WHAT?
IT'S ALL CATCHING UP
WITH ME, PETE.
CAN I HELP WITH ANYTHING?
DO YOU WANT ME TO GIVE YOU
A LIFT DOWN TO THE STATION?
NO...
NO, I GOTTA GO.
I GOTTA...
I GOTTA STOP THIS TRAIN
BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.
SHANNON...
WHAT ARE YOU
DOING HERE SO LATE?
YOU KNOW, I FORGOMY TOOLBOX IN THE AUDITORIUM.
I JUST HAVE TO GRAB IT.
OKAY...
JUST MAKE SURE THE DOOR'S LOCKED
BEHIND YOU ON THE WAY OUT.
I WILL.
I'LL BE QUICK, I PROMISE.
OKAY.
AN ATHLETIC DIRECTOR
WITH TEST KEYS.
I'LL PUT THIS BACK.
HEY!
ROTTEN KIDS.
THAT'S IT, THEN.
PROOF THAT BRAD JONES
IS HELPING STUDENTS CHEAT,
AND THAT CLIFF KNOWS.
BECAUSE HE WAS
THE FIRST.
I'M JUST,
I'M SO SHOCKED.
I MEAN, WHY WOULD
BRAD DO THIS?
I GOTTA CALL TOMMY.
WHO'S THAT?
HANG ON.
I'LL GO CHECK.
DAD? WHAT IS IT?
WHAT'S WRONG?
I JUST RAN INTO BRAD.
IT WAS THE STRANGESCONVERSATION.
HE TOLD ME THAT DENISE
HAD JUST BEEN ARRESTED,
AND THEN HE ACTED
LIKE IT WAS HIS FAULT,
AND SAID,
"IT'S ALL CATCHING UP TO ME."
DID HE SAY ANYTHING ELSE?
YEAH, THAT HE HAD
TO STOP THIS TRAIN
BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.
WE NEED TO WARN CLIFF.
CHIEF...
WE CAME TO TALK TO CLIFF.
IS EVERYTHING OKAY?
TOMMY FOUND HIM AN HOUR AGO,
SHOT IN THE CHEST.
HE'S DEAD.
IT DOESN'T SEEM POSSIBLE.
CLIFF HOGARTH DEAD?
YEAH.
I COULDN'T SLEEP LAST NIGHT.
LOOKS LIKE TOMMY
COULDN'T SLEEP EITHER.
HEY.
CHIEF SAID
YOU'D BE COMING BY.
COME ON IN,
HAVE A SEAT.
I THINK WE MIGHT KNOW
WHO KILLED CLIFF.
MAC WAS THE LAST PERSON
TO SEE HIM LAST NIGHT--
WE ALREADY KNOW
WHO KILLED CLIFF.
IT WAS BRAD JONES.
THE JUDGE ALREADY SIGNED
A WARRANT FOR HIS ARREST.
HIS FINGERPRINTS WERE
ALL OVER CLIFF'S FRONT DOOR,
AND APPARENTLY,
HE'S SKIPPED TOWN,
BECAUSE HE'S NOWHERE
TO BE FOUND.
WE WERE
AFRAID OF THIS.
I FOUND HIM, YOU KNOW.
I TOOK OVER
A PHOTOGRAPH OF THE IMPALA
THAT BRAD'S BROTHER OWNED
20 YEARS AGO
TO SEE IF HE COULD IDENTIFY IT,
AND, UM...
THERE WAS
A HALF EMPTY BEER BOTTLE
SITTING ON THE COFFEE TABLE
NEXT TO THIS.
OUR HIGH SCHOOL
YEARBOOK.
YEAH, IT WAS
LYING OPEN
TO PHOTOS
OF HIM AND LILY.
REMINISCING, I GUESS?
BRAD GOES IN AND KILLS CLIFF,
AND THEN TAKES OFF,
WHILE HIS WIFE'S SITTING
IN A JAIL CELL?
I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND IT.
THEN YOU NEED TO SEE
WHAT SHANNON FOUND.
I FOUND THIS
AT THE SCHOOL.
TEST ANSWERS.
OKAY, IS THIS
ALL I NEED TO SIGN?
HEY...
- THANK YOU.
HOW'S SHE DOING?
I THINK THAT SHE'S IN SHOCK, YOU
KNOW?
ONCE SHE'S BAILED OUT,
I'M GONNA TAKE HER HOME
AND STAY WITH HER
TILL HER MOM GETS THERE.
GOOD.
I DON'T BELIEVE
WHAT THEY'RE TELLING ME.
BRAD SHOOTING CLIFF?
HE WOULDN'T DO THAT.
HE'S THE CALM AND STEADY ONE.
HE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A GUN.
I AM SO SORRY.
MAYBE IT WAS
CLIFF'S GUN.
MAYBE CLIFF TRIED
TO SHOOT BRAD,
AND THEN THERE WAS
A STRUGGLE FOR THE GUN.
THAT HAS TO BE IT.
OKAY, OKAY, RIGHT,
BUT YOU KNOW,
RIGHT NOW, DENISE,
LET'S JUSGET YOU HOME.
YEAH.
I NEED TO GO HOME
SO BRAD CAN FIND ME
IF HE NEEDS ME.
YEAH. YEAH.
OKAY.
- OKAY.
THAT IS ONE
TORTURED WOMAN.
I KNOW.
SHE CAN'T EVEN
BRING HERSELF TO BELIEVE
HER HUSBAND'S DONE
ANYTHING WRONG.
WELL, YOU CAN'T ARGUE
WITH THE EVIDENCE.
YEAH.
IT DOES SEEM AIRTIGHT.
THEN WHY THAT LOOK?
DOESN'T IT SEEM TOO EASY?
YOU JUST SPENTHE LAST 24 HOURS
TRYING TO CONVINCE EVERYBODY
IT HAD TO BE BRAD.
I KNOW--
ALL RIGHT, MAC,
LET'S GET THAT STATEMENOUT OF THE WAY?
YEAH.
I'M JUST GONNA SWING BY
THE CRADDOCK HOUSE
TO PICK UP A FEW THINGS.
ALL RIGHT.
OKAY, SO THEN CLIFF SAID
YOU SHOULD ASK BRAD
WHAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT?
YEAH.
HEY, TOMMY,
YOU GOT A MINUTE?
BE RIGHT BACK, MAC.
- SURE.
I JUST TALKED TO AARON WHITE
AT THE HIGH SCHOOL.
NOW, HE ADMITTED
THAT BRAD JONES GAVE HIM
THE ANSWERS TO MATH TESTS
ON THREE DIFFERENOCCASIONS.
SO SHANNON WAS RIGHT.
APPARENTLY.
THERE YOU ARE.
SHANNON HUGHES...
"I JUST FOUND
YOUR YEARBOOK PHOTO."
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
I JUST CAME
FROM CLIFF'S HOUSE.
I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED!
YOU'VE GOTO LEAVE IT BE--
NO! IT'S OVER!
WHAT'S OVER?
IT'S ALL OVER!
EVERYTHING IS OVER!
WE NEED TO COME CLEAN
AND JUST STOP EVERYTHING!
TOMMY!
YOU DON'T GET IT!
OKAY?
THE POLICE ARE
TRYING TO BLAME ME
FOR SOMETHING
I DIDN'T DO!
I COULD GO TO PRISON
FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE!
THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN--
- OR WORSE!
OKAY, I KNOW IT WAS
YOU WHO KILLED CLIFF.
DON'T TRY TO DENY IT.
I TOLD YOU TO SHUT UP!
WAIT. WAIT A MINUTE.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
HEY... STOP.
STOP!
STOP... STOP IT!
HAVE YOU LOSYOUR MIND?
GASOLINE?
BURNING
THIS PLACE DOWN
IS NOT GOING TO MAKE IALL GO AWAY,
DIARY OR NO DIARY!
I SAID SHUT UP.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
STOP...
PLEASE, JUST COME BACK.
HEY. WHOA. HEY.
MR. DEAN!
DON'T MOVE.
DARREN,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
WOULD YOU JUSPUT THE GUN AWAY?
I TOLD YOU TO SHUT UP.
TOMMY?
SOMETHING WRONG?
LOOK AT THIS.
LOOK AT THIS PICTURE.
BRAD JONES
DID NOT KILL LILY.
"MR. DEAN GETS HIS CAR WASHED"?
LOOK AT WHAT CAR IT IS.
BLACK IMPALA.
TAILLIGHTS,
THREE IN A ROW,
JUST LIKE THE ONE
CLIFF SAW THAT NIGHT.
I'LL PUT OUT AN APB
ON DARREN DEAN.
I'VE GOTTA GET TO SHANNON.
WHERE IS SHE?
AT CRADDOCK MANSION.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND,
WHY WERE YOU GIVING
TEST ANSWERS TO STUDENTS
THIS WHOLE TIME?
BECAUSE I TOLD HIM TO.
LOOK, I KNEW IT WAS WRONG,
BUT IT MEANT SO MUCH
TO THE SCHOOL.
SO WHY DID YOU KILL LILY?
I DIDN'T KILL LILY.
I CAME HERE THAT NIGHTO TALK TO HER,
TO MAKE SURE SHE PLANNED
TO KEEP QUIET ABOUT CLIFF.
SHE PANICKED...
...FLUNG HERSELF
AWAY FROM ME.
THE BANISTER BROKE, SHE FELL.
I THOUGHT ABOUGOING TO THE POLICE,
BUT IT WOULDN'T HAVE
BROUGHT HER BACK.
AND WHY DRAG THE SCHOOL
THROUGH THE MUD,
MAKE MY STUDENTS PAY
FOR SOMETHING THAHAPPENED BY ACCIDENT?
I'VE WORKED HARD
TO MAKE UP FOR IT,
TO GIVE THE STUDENTS IN MY CARE
EVERY CHANCE TO SUCCEED,
NO MATTER
WHAT IT TOOK!
YES...
AND I'VE WORKED TOO HARD
TO WATCH IT ALL
GO DOWN THE DRAIN NOW.
YES--
DARREN, NO!
BRAD!
NO!
MIGHT AS WELL--
THE LOCK...
OKAY...
COME ON, SHANNON,
PICK UP THE PHONE.
OKAY...
LET'S GET YOU
TO THE HOSPITAL.
OOH!!
I'M SORRY, I JUST,
I CAN'T PUT ANY WEIGHT ON IT.
I'LL CALL YOU
AN AMBULANCE.
WHERE'S MY PHONE?
I WOULDN'T WORRY
ABOUT THE PHONE!
HEY...
YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS.
LOOK...
YOU SAID IT WAS
AN ACCIDENT.
THE POLICE ARE
GONNA BELIEVE YOU.
WE'LL JUST GO DOWN
TO THE POLICE STATION.
IT'S NOT TOO LATE.
SORRY, SHANNON.
TOLD YOU THESE THINGS
WERE DANGEROUS.
YOU HAVE THE RIGHTO REMAIN SILENT.
ANYTHING YOU SAY
CAN AND WILL
BE USED AGAINST YOU
IN A COURT OF LAW.
YOU HAVE THE RIGHTO AN ATTORNEY.
IF YOU CANNOT AFFORD
AN ATTORNEY,
AN ATTORNEY WILL BE
APPOINTED TO YOU.
IF YOU DECIDE
TO ANSWER QUESTIONS NOW
WITHOUT AN ATTORNEY PRESENT,
YOU WILL STILL HAVE THE RIGHTO STOP ANSWERING AT ANY TIME
UNTIL YOU TALK
TO AN ATTORNEY.
YOU KNOW ONE OF
MY FAVORITE THINGS ABOUT YOU?
WHAT?
YOUR TIMING.
I BROKE TEN
DIFFERENT TRAFFIC LAWS
TO GET HERE.
YOU KNOW, UM...
THE THOUGHT THAT SOMETHING
MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED TO YOU...
I NEVER WANT TO FEEL
THAT WAY AGAIN.
HOW DID YOU FIGURE IT OUT?
I DIDN'T EVEN SUSPECPRINCIPAL DEAN
UNTIL HE LITERALLY GRABBED ME.
A PICTURE,
IN YOUR YEARBOOK.
TURNS OUT PRINCIPAL DEAN
HAD A BLACK IMPALA,
WITH THE THREE TAILLIGHTS.
YOU MUST BE PRETTY PROUD
OF YOURSELF.
I AM.
IT'S FUNNY HOW A WHOLE CASE
CAN BE SOLVED
WITH ONE LITTLE DETAIL.
ONE OF THE DETECTIVES
I INTERVIEWED FOR MY BOOK
SAID THAT.
TOO BAD
SHE'S NOT THE PROTAGONIST.
MAYBE THAT'S IT.
I PICKED THE WRONG PROTAGONIST.
I SHOULD FOLLOW
THE WOMAN DETECTIVE,
THE ONE WITH THE EYE
FOR TELLING DETAIL...
THE ONE THAT REMINDS ME OF YOU.
BRAD,
ARE YOU HERE?
HONEY...
I'M OKAY.
YOU'RE OKAY...
I'M OKAY.
IT'S OVER.
I'M SORRY.
I AM SO SORRY.
HEY...
COME TAKE A BREAK,
I WANT TO SHOW YOU
SOMETHING QUICK.
WHAT IS IYOU WANT TO SHOW ME?
I FINALLY FOUND THIS.
IN HERE.
THIS IS LILY'S LAST DIARY.
I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT WANSOME TIME WITH IT.
THANK YOU, SHANNON,
FOR...
FOR THIS.
JUST... FOR EVERYTHING.
OF COURSE.
HEY, STRANGER.
- HEY.
HAVEN'T SEEN YOU
IN A WHILE.
WELL, THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS
WHEN WRITER'S BLOCK GOES AWAY,
CAN'T PRY MYSELF
AWAY FROM MY LAPTOP.
IT'S GOING WELL THEN?
IT IS, BUT I WANTED TO SEE
HOW WORK ON THE HOUSE
WAS GOING,
AND...
THOUGHT YOU MIGHT BE
A LITTLE HUNGRY?
MY NEW FAVORITE
THING ABOUT YOU?
BRINGING ME FOOD.
AW... THAT'S NICE.
WELL, I'M GOING GETHAT LIST A LITTLE BIGGER.
YEAH?
YEAH, I THINK SO.
WELL, LET'S STARBY BUILDING A KITCHEN.
THAT'S A GREAPLACE TO START,
BECAUSE I'M A GOOD COOK.
I'VE NOTICED.
I LIKE THAT.
ANYONE THERE?
YOU GUYS, THIS ISN'T FUNNY.
YOU'RE SCARING ME.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
YUP.
OKAY, YEAH.
HERE IS OKAY?
ALL RIGHT, OKAY,
WE'RE READY?
OKAY, THREE, TWO, ONE.
WE ARE HERE
AT THE NEW FIELD HOUSE
AT LIGHTHOUSE COVE HIGH,
WITH PRINCIPAL DARREN DEAN.
YOU MUST BE SO PROUD
OF THIS STATE-OF-THE-ARATHLETIC FACILITY,
AND THE FACTHAT YOUR FOOTBALL TEAM
HAS WON CHAMPIONSHIPS
THREE OF THE LAST FIVE YEARS.
VERY PROUD.
BULLDOGS!
AND THANKFUL TO OUR,
DEDICATED STAFF,
AND YOUR BULLDOGS
ARE FAVORED TO WIN
FRIDAY'S CHAMPIONSHIP GAME,
ISN'T THAT RIGHT?
WE ARE,
DUE IN NO SMALL PARTO OUR STELLAR

AARON WHITE.
HE'S BEEN WORKING
MIRACLES ON THE FIELD
ALL SEASON--
WHAT IS THAT NOISE?
I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT.
SHANNON!
HEY!
HI.
HEY, SORRY.
I DIDN'T REALIZE
THE INTERVIEW ALREADY STARTED.
TELL MR. DEAN I APOLOGIZE.
NO, VOLUNTEERS CAN MAKE
ALL THE NOISE THEY WANT.
SHE JUST DROPPED BY
FOR A MINUTE.
IT WAS THE SAW THAT I NEEDED,
AND SHE WAS KIND ENOUGH
TO BRING IT BY.
I HOPE YOU WON'T SEND ME
TO DETENTION,
MR. ATHLETIC DIRECTOR, SIR.
I'M ACTUALLY IN A HURRY
TO GET GOING.
SHANNON'S STARTING
THE CRADDOCK HOUSE
RESTORATION TODAY.
WOW.
YOU GUYS SHOULD
START CALLING ITHE SULLIVAN HOUSE.
MAC SULLIVAN IS
THE OWNER NOW.
WELL, IT'S BEEN
THE CRADDOCK HOUSE
FOR WHAT,
A HUNDRED YEARS NOW?
IT'LL ALWAYS BE
THE CRADDOCK HOUSE AROUND HERE.
YEAH, THAT'S FAIR.
IT'S PROBABLY A LOSING BATTLE.
- YUP.
WELL, GOOD LUCK
WITH THE JOB, SHANNON.
AND THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR DONATING YOUR TIME
TO OUR CAUSE.
GO BULLDOGS.
YEAH, GO BULLDOGS!
GO BULLDOGS.
CLIFF HOGARTH,
RELENTLESS AS EVER.
HEY!
MAC!
AND CLIFF.
WISH I COULD SAY
I WAS SURPRISED
TO SEE YOU HERE.
JUST THOUGHT I'D LEMR. FAMOUS WRITER HERE
HAVE ONE LAST CHANCE
TO LET ME HAVE A BID
ON THE CRADDOCK JOB.
WHICH I HAVE
KINDLY DECLINED.
AGAIN.
WHICH I WAS
JUST SAYING
MIGHT NOT BE
THE SMARTEST MOVE.
I GUARANTEE MY BID
WILL BE LOWER THAN HERS,
AND...
I CAN GET IT DONE
FASTER,
WHICH MEANS YOU WON'HAVE TO BE LIVING
IN SHANNON'S LITTLE
GINGERBREAD SHACK BACK THERE.
JUST TELLING IT LIKE IT IS.
WELL, IT IS TRUE,
I DO TAKE EXTRA TIME
BECAUSE I SPECIALIZE
IN QUALITY RESTORATION,
WHEREAS QB CONSTRUCTION
SPECIALIZES
IN QUICK AND CHEAP.
HEY, JUST TELLING ILIKE IT IS.
I MAKE NO APOLOGIES
ABOUT CHARGING MY CUSTOMERS
A REASONABLE FEE.
WHAT DO YOU SAY, SULLIVAN?
LET ME TAKE A GANDER
AT YOUR PLACE.
I'LL FLOAT YOU A NUMBER.
I APPRECIATE YOU HAVING
MY BEST INTERESTS AT HEART,
BUT I'M GONNA
STICK WITH SHANNON.
I ADMIRE LOYALTY.
BUT YOU MIGHWANT TO TALK
TO THE PRESIDENOF THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY.
I THINK HE WILL RECOMMEND ME.
YEAH,
YOUR COUSIN TED.
HOW IS HE?
HAPPEN TO HAVE
HIS NUMBER RIGHT HERE.
YOU KNOW WHAT, CLIFF,
I WAS JUST AT THE HIGH SCHOOL.
THERE'S THIS
NEWS CREW THERE,
THEY'RE DOING A STORY
ON NEXT WEEK'S BIG GAME.
I BET THEY WOULD LOVE TO HEAR
ABOUT HOW YOU WON US
OUR FIRST STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.
WELL, WELL, WELL,
I BET THEY WOULD AT THAT.
THANK YOU FOR THE HEADS UP.
LISTEN,
FOR YOU,
SHOULD YOU CHANGE
YOUR MIND.
YOU REALLY SPENT FOUR YEARS
IN HIGH SCHOOL WITH THAT GUY?
AND I SURVIVED
TO TELL THE TALE.
AND NOW IF I CAN JUSSURVIVE HIM
POACHING MY CLIENTS...
HEY, SEAN.
MEET MAC SULLIVAN.
THIS IS THE WRITER
WHO HIRED US
TO RESTORE HIS HOME.
MAC, THIS IS
SEAN BROGANS,
MY CONSTRUCTION FOREMAN.
HEY, MAC.
HI.
THANK YOU
FOR STANDING UP FOR ME
WITH CLIFF.
I'M GONNA GO
GET TO WORK.
I WAS GONNA STOP BY TODAY,
WATCH YOU DO YOUR MAGIC,
AND BEFORE YOU SAY NO,
I REALLY NEED A REASON
TO PROCRASTINATE.
WORK ON THE NOVEL ISN'T GOING
AS SMOOTHLY AS I'D HOPED.
OKAY,
BUT IF YOU COME BY,
I AM GOING TO PUT YOU TO WORK.
DONE.
WAS THAT CLIFF HOGARTH I SAW
TRYING TO STEAL OUR CLIENT?
MY GOSH...
YES.
THE ONE AND ONLY.
MAN, THAT GUY NEVER GIVES UP.
YEAH, IF ONLY
THERE WAS A CURE.
WOW...
I HAVEN'T BEEN
OUT HERE IN YEARS.
OUR OFFICIAL
"BEFORE" PHOTO.
I LOVE MY JOB.
HEY.
MR. FOREMAN,
YOU'RE ON THE CLOCK.
ALL RIGHT.
ALL RIGHT...
WHO'S READY
TO TRANSFORM THIS HOUSE?
I THINK
WHAT WE NEED TO FOCUS ON
IS THE CORNER
OF THE FOUNDATION OVER HERE,
IS WHERE I NOTICE
THE MOST CRUMBLING.
OKAY.
I ACTUALLY HAVE
A GREAT FAUX-PAINTER.
REMIND ME TO CALL HER.
OKAY.
AND... WE HAVE
MARBLE COMING IN FROM ITALY.
I WANT TO GET RID
OF THE TONGUE-IN-GROOVE.
THIS MOLDING IS BEAUTIFUL.
I'LL HAVE A FEW FIXES.
YOU GOOD?
YEAH.
TRAVIS, ARE YOU OKAY?
YEAH, IT'S JUSTHIS STUPID DUMBWAITER.
IT'S STUCK BETWEEN HERE
AND THE SECOND FLOOR,
AND I JUST GAVE MYSELF
ROPE BURN.
WELL, FIRST...
YOU SHOULD BE WEARING GLOVES.
YEAH, THAT'S STUCK,
ALL RIGHT.
WHY IS THAT 2X4 THERE?
THAT'S STRANGE.
SECOND, YOU NEED
THE RIGHT TOOL
FOR THE JOB.
WHAT?
I THOUGHT YOU'D BE FINISHED
MY RESTORATION BY NOW.
YEAH. MAYBE BY LUNCH.
I'D BE HAPPY TO GETHIS DUMBWAITER
UNSTUCK BY LUNCH.
THIS BOARD
SHOULDN'T EVEN BE HERE.
BE CAREFUL.
MY GRANDMOTHER
HAD ONE OF THESE,
AND THE ONE TIME I TRIED
TO GET IT UNSTUCK--
YOU OKAY?
I HIRED YOU TO FIX MY HOUSE,
NOT DESTROY IT.
WHAT WAS THAT?
IS EVERYBODY OKAY?
THE DUMBWAITER FELL
INTO THE BASEMENT.
WE'D BETTER GO
ASSESS THE DAMAGE.
THE WHOLE THING
BUSTED INTO PIECES.
DON'T... TOUCH IT.
WHAT? WHY?
LOOK.
THAT'S HUMAN BONES,
ALL RIGHT.
LOOKS TO BE
AN ENTIRE SKELETON.
THE IMPACT FROM THE FALL
MUST HAVE BROKEN IT APART.
I WONDER HOW LONG
IT'S BEEN HERE?
WHEN I BOUGHTHE HOUSE,
THE INSPECTOR GAVE ME
A FIVE-PAGE LISOF ALL THE PROBLEMS,
BUT "A SKELETON
IN THE DUMBWAITER"
WASN'T ONE OF THEM.
WELL, KIDS HAVE BEEN
COMING HERE
AND HANGING OUT FOR YEARS.
COULD BE A KID CLIMBED
IN THE DUMBWAITER,
TRIED TO GO UP OR DOWN A FLOOR,
AND THEN IT GOT STUCK
WITH THE KID TRAPPED INSIDE.
WHAT IS THAT,
THAT SILVER THING?
LOOKS LIKE
A MEDICAL ALERT BRACELET.
IT SAYS
"ALLERGIC TO BEE STINGS."
WHAT DID YOU SAY?
WHOEVER THIS WAS,
WAS ALLERGIC TO BEE STINGS.
LILY HAD A BRACELELIKE THAT.
I THINK THAT LOOKS LIKE
LILY'S SHIRT.
WHO'S LILY?
SHE'S MY SISTER.
SEAN, HOLD ON!
I'LL GO TALK TO HIM.
SEAN, WAIT!
LILY BROGANS,
HERE THE WHOLE TIME.
EVERYONE THOUGHSHE'D GONE TO CALIFORNIA.
YOU KNEW HER, TOO?
YEAH, EVERYONE
IN OUR SCHOOL KNEW LILY.
SHE WAS THE LEAD
IN EVERY SCHOOL PLAY.
SHE WAS SUPER TALENTED.
SHE DATED THE QUARTERBACK
OF OUR FOOTBALL TEAM,
CLIFF HOGARTH.
SHE'D GIVEN
THIS GREAT SPEECH
AT OUR GRADUATION
ABOUT CHASING YOUR DREAMS,
AND A FEW DAYS AFTER THAT,
SHE WAS GONE.
THAT WAS IT?
A GIRL VANISHES,
THERE'S NO INVESTIGATION?
NO, THERE WAS
AN INVESTIGATION.
I STILL REMEMBER THE DETECTIVE
INTERVIEWING PEOPLE ALL SUMMER.
BUT HER PARENTS, THEY WERE
ON THE VERGE OF DIVORCE,
AND SHE ALWAYS SAID
SHE WAS GONNA LEAVE
AFTER GRADUATION.
IT BECAME
THE OFFICIAL CONCLUSION
THAT LILY BROGANS HAD GONE OFF
TO CHASE HER DREAMS.
DR. WENDERS.
OFFICER SLOANE.
WHERE ARE THE REMAINS?
RIGHT HERE.
LET'S HAVE A LOOK.
HEY...
MAYBE IT'S NOT LILY.
IT'S HER.
I KNOW IT.
THAT IS WHAT SHE WAS
WEARING
THE LAST TIME
THAT I SAW HER.
HERE IN THIS ROOM.
HERE?
SEAN, I HAD NO IDEA.
SHE WAS SITTING RIGHT HERE.
WITH CLIFF HOGARTH.
HIS IDIOT FRIENDS
WERE DOWNSTAIRS.
SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE WAS
GOING TO MOVE AWAY.
I DIDN'T WANT HER TO GO.
SO I YELLED AT HER,
I CALLED HER SELFISH.
AND CLIFF, HE JUST...
HE JUST LAUGHED AT ME,
AND CALLED ME A WHINEY KID,
SO I LEFT.
GOD, I WAS SO MAD.
LATER, MY MOM CALLED ME,
AND TOLD ME THAT LILY HAD LEFWITHOUT SAYING GOODBYE.
AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS MY FAULT.
AND THEN WHEN WE DIDN'HEAR FROM HER,
I THOUGHTHAT WAS MY FAULT, TOO.
AFTER MY DAD DIED,
AND THEN MY MOM, I...
I HIRED A PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR
TO LOOK FOR HER.
HE DIDN'T FIND
ANY SIGN OF HER.
YOU KNOW, MOST PEOPLE,
THEY THOUGHT THAT MEANSHE WAS DEAD.
BUT I... NEVER GAVE UP HOPE.
I KNOW.
AND SHE WAS HERE,
THE WHOLE TIME,
JUST STUCK IN THAT...
I LEFT HER HERE
ALONE IN THIS ROOM
WITH CLIFF.
YOU DON'T THINK THAT CLIFF
HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH--
TOMMY SENT ME TO FIND YOU.
HE HAS SOME QUESTIONS
FOR YOU, SEAN.
THANKS.
WE'LL BE RIGHT OUT.
OKAY.
IT'LL BE ALL RIGHT.
YEAH.
I ALSO SEE WHAT LOOKS TO ME LIKE
PERIMORTEM BREAKS
IN NUMEROUS BONES,
INCLUDING THE SKULL.
WAIT, YOU MEAN
THE BREAKS DIDN'T HAPPEN
WHEN THE DUMBWAITER FELL?
NO, I'D ASSUME
THEY HAPPENED
AT TIME OF DEATH.
HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE
IF SHE WAS WEDGED
IN THE DUMBWAITER,
STUCK BETWEEN FLOORS?
I COULD BE WRONG.
I'LL KNOW MORE
WHEN I CAN GET A CLOSER LOOK
AT THE REMAINS.
RIGHT NOW, I'D CALL IA SUSPICIOUS DEATH.
TOMMY, I THINK
THERE'S SOME THINGS
I NEED TO SHOW YOU.
I NEED TO SPEAK
WITH SEAN FIRST.
WHERE IS HE?
I THOUGHT HE WAS
RIGHT BEHIND ME.
LOOK OUT THERE.
HE'S TAKING OFF
IN YOUR TRUCK.
I THINK I KNOW
WHERE HE'S GOING.
WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT!
YOU'RE CRAZY!
SEAN, BACK OFF NOW!
YOU WERE WITH HER!
YOU WERE THE LAST ONE
TO SEE HER!
CALM DOWN!
SEAN!
YOU WERE THE LAST ONE
TO SEE HER...
WE THINK WE'VE FOUND
LILY'S REMAINS
AT THE CRADDOCK PLACE.
HEY!
COOL IT!
TOMMY, THE LASTIME I SAW LILY,
SHE WAS ALIVE AND WELL.
MY FRIENDS
CAN VOUCH FOR IT.
AND THEY ALSO SAW
THAT YOU WERE THE ONE
YELLING AT HER THAT NIGHT,
SO IF ANYBODY DID
ANYTHING TO HER,
IT WAS YOU!
NO--
SEE, TOMMY?
DO YOU SEE THAT?
HE ATTACKED ME, AND I WANT HIM
ARRESTED FOR ASSAULT.
CLIFF, COME ON.
NO, NO, NO,
I'M PRESSING CHARGES.
I'M CALLING CHIEF JENSEN
RIGHT NOW!
ALL RIGHT,
SHOW'S OVER,
BACK TO WORK.
ALL RIGHT, SEAN,
TURN AROUND,
PUT YOUR HANDS
BEHIND YOUR BACK
FOR ME, PLEASE.
WHAT? HEY.
TOMMY, IS THIS NECESSARY?
IT WAS HIS SISTER.
IF THEY DON'T,
I'M JUST GONNA COME BACK HERE
AND TAKE THAT LIAR APART.
TOMMY...
HE DID SOMETHING TO HER,
I KNOW IT.
SEAN, WE'RE LAUNCHING
AN INVESTIGATION,
WE'LL GET TO THE BOTTOM
OF IT, ALL RIGHT?
NOW, TAKE HIM
DOWN TO THE CAR,
READ HIM HIS RIGHTS.
I'LL CALL AHEAD,
AND LET 'EM KNOW WE'RE COMING.
I'LL COME BAIL YOU OUAS SOON AS
YOU'RE ARRAIGNED.
WHAT I CARE ABOUIS MAKING SURE
THAT WHOEVER
KILLED MY SISTER PAYS.
YOU GOTTA HELP ME MAKE SURE
CLIFF DOESN'T GET AWAY WITH IT.
PROMISE ME!
OKAY.
HEY.
WE SHOULD TELL TOMMY
WHAT YOU TOLD ME IN THE CAR.
HEY, THERE'S SOME STUFF
I SHOULD SHOW YOU
AT THE CRADDOCK HOUSE,
AND THE CHIEF SHOULD
SEE IT, TOO.
ALL RIGHT.
THE DUMBWAITER WAS STUCK
BETWEEN THE FIRSAND THE SECOND FLOOR.
THERE WAS A PIECE OF WOOD
STOPPING IT FROM MOVING.
UM...
THIS PIECE RIGHT HERE.
THIS WOOD IS NOT THE SAME WOOD
USED TO CONSTRUCT THE SHAFT.
SO, WHAARE YOU SAYING?
SOMEBODY SECURED
THIS PIECE OF WOOD IN THE SHAFTO KEEP THE DUMBWAITER
FROM MOVING.
THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE.
LOOK AT THIS
BANISTER RIGHT HERE,
THIS JAGGED BREAK.
THERE IS ADHESIVE
IN THE CRACK,
LIKE SOMEBODY TRIED
TO GLUE IT BACK TOGETHER.
OKAY...
SO WHERE ARE YOU GOING
WITH THIS?
IT'S A SLOPPY JOB,
AND THEY DIDN'T FIX IT.
IT'S MORE LIKE
THEY WERE JUST TRYING
TO HIDE THE BREAK.
THERE'S MORE.
NOW, I NOTICED THIS
ON MY FIRST WALK-THROUGH
OF THE HOUSE--
THESE CRACKS
IN THE TILE RIGHT HERE,
DIRECTLY BELOW THE BREAK
IN THE BANISTER.
NOW, THE MEDICAL
EXAMINER SAID
THAT SHE SAW BREAKS IN THE BONES
THAT HAPPENED
AT THE TIME OF DEATH.
AND YOU SAID IYOURSELF, TOMMY.
I MEAN, THERE'S NO WAY SOMEBODY
COULD BREAK THEIR BONES
WHILE BEING STUCK
IN A DUMBWAITER THAT CAN'T MOVE.
UNLESS THAT PERSON
FELL THROUGH THE BANISTER.
OR WAS PUSHED.
AND SOMEONE
TOOK THAT BODY,
AND PUT IT IN THE DUMBWAITER,
AND MADE SURE
IT WOULDN'T BE FOUND.
THEN THIS WASN'T JUSA SUSPICIOUS DEATH.
IT WAS MURDER.
HEY.
THANKS FOR COMING OVER, JEN.
I CAN'T BELIEVE
THAT LILY WAS MURDERED.
AND POOR SEAN.
I MEAN, YOU CAN'T BLAME HIM
FOR GETTING A LITTLE
CRAZY WITH GRIEF.
I KNOW.
I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD HAVE
GONE TO THE COURTHOUSE
TO LEND HIM MORAL SUPPORWHILE HE FACED THE JUDGE.
HE DOESN'WANT YOU THERE.
YOU'RE HIS BOSS,
IT'S TOO
EMBARRASSING FOR HIM.
THEN YOU
SHOULD HAVE GONE.
I'M HIS OLD BOSS.
YEAH, AND YOU HIRED HIM
AT WHAT, 18?
YOU'RE THE CLOSEST THING HE HAS
TO A FATHER FIGURE ANYMORE.
HEY, UM...
I JUST WENT BY THE HOUSE.
TOMMY SAID THEY MADE
A POSITIVE I.D. ON THE SKELETON
USING DENTAL RECORDS.
THEY'RE GOING TO RELEASE
A STATEMENT LATER TODAY,
BUT...
IT IS LILY BROGANS.
MAN...
WE ALL EXPECTED
IT, BUT...
STILL.
YOU KNOW,
I KEEP THINKING
ABOUT MY FIRST DAY
AT LIGHTHOUSE COVE HIGH.
DO YOU REMEMBER,
SHANNON?
IT WAS
SOPHOMORE YEAR.
IT WAS LILY WHO VOLUNTEERED
TO SHOW ME AROUND THE SCHOOL.
I MEAN, DO YOU REALLY
THINK IT'S POSSIBLE
THAT CLIFF HOGARTH COULD HAVE...
KILLED HER?
I DON'T KNOW.
I PROMISED SEAN THAI WOULD HELP HIM FIND OUT.
AND WHY YOU DID THAT,
I DON'T KNOW.
DAD, I'VE WORKED SIDE BY SIDE
WITH HIM FOR YEARS.
HE ASKED FOR MY HELP.
THE LEAST I COULD DO
IS GO TALK TO CLIFF.
NO.
NO, CLIFF'S TOO VOLATILE.
YOU NEED TO STAY AWAY FROM HIM.
WELL, I COULD TALK TO HIM.
I MEAN, I COULD TELL HIM
THAT BECAUSE THE WORK'S
BEEN DELAYED,
HE MIGHT AS WELL
COME AND GIVE ME A BID
ON THE RESTORATION.
IF HE THINKS
THAT HE CAN GET MY BUSINESS,
I MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET HIM
TO TALK ABOUT LILY.
BUT SHOULDN'T YOU
BE WRITING?
WRITING...
YOU KNOW, THAT'S SORT OF...
A SUBCONSCIOUS THING ANYWAY,
AND YOU WOULDN'T WANT ME
TO LET MY SKILLS
AS AN INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER
GET RUSTY.
MY GOSH,
YOU KNOW WHO'S GOING
TO BE DEVASTATED
IS LILY'S BEST FRIEND
FROM HIGH SCHOOL.
DENISE JONES.
YEAH.
SHE'S, UM, SHE'S
THE DRAMA TEACHER
AT THE HIGH SCHOOL NOW.
WE SHOULD REALLY,
WE SHOULD GO THERE,
AND WE SHOULD TELL HER.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
BUT SEAN'S GOING TO BE
CALLING ANY MINUTE.
I'LL POST BAIL FOR SEAN.
YOU BREAK THE NEWS
TO DENISE, OKAY?
OKAY.
- THANKS.
I'LL GO TALK TO CLIFF,
SEE IF I CAN GET HIS STORY.
THANKS.
WOW.
THIS PLACE HASN'CHANGED A BIT.
TOUCHDOWN!
AND THE BULLDOGS WIN
ANOTHER STATE CHAMPIONSHIP!
YEAH,
AND THE FOOTBALL PLAYERS
HAVEN'T CHANGED MUCH EITHER.
RIGHT?
YES, EVERYBODY
LOVES THE BULLDOGS.
I'LL SEE IF WE HAVE
ANY MORE TICKETS.
I'LL SEE
IF SHE'S HERE.
PLEASE HOLD.
WOW, I'M HAVING
SUCH A MEMORY RUSH.
THIS IS WHERE I FIRST MET LILY.
LIKE, RIGHT IN THIS SPOT.
HEY! SHANNON...
ARE YOU BACK
TO FINISH THE SNACK BAR?
UM, ACTUALLY WE'RE
HERE TO SEE YOUR WIFE.
YOU REMEMBER JEN?
SURE, YEAH, YEAH,
GOOD TO SEE YOU, JENNIFER.
HEY, BRAD.
SO, WHY DO YOU NEED
TO SEE DENISE?
WE HAVE
TO GIVE HER SOME NEWS,
ABOUT LILY BROGANS.
HAVEN'T HEARD THAT NAME
IN A WHILE,
NOT SINCE SHE LEFT TOWN.
UM...
BRAD, LILY'S BODY
WAS FOUND YESTERDAY
AT THE CRADDOCK HOUSE.
SHE NEVER
LEFT TOWN AT ALL.
THEY, UM, THEY THINK
THAT SHE WAS MURDERED.
MAN.
THAT'S ROUGH.
THAT IS...
THAT IS GONNA HIT DENISE HARD.
I'LL GO GET HER OUT OF CLASS.
BUT FIRST I SHOULD TELL DARREN.
SURE.
HEY, DARREN...
THAT'S RIGHT.
I FORGOT, THAVICE-PRINCIPAL DEAN,
HE'S NOW PRINCIPAL.
IT'S
SO CRAZY BEING BACK HERE.
SO I'LL GO GET DENISE,
AND SHE'LL MEET YOU
IN THE TEACHERS' LOUNGE.
THANKS.
I DON'T SUPPOSE YOU REMEMBER
WHERE THE TEACHERS' LOUNGE IS?
HOW ABOUT I SHOW YOU
WHERE IT IS?
BRAD TOLD ME
ABOUT LILY BROGANS.
IT'S VERY UPSETTING.
WE'RE WORRIED
ABOUT HOW DENISE
WILL TAKE THE NEWS.
I'M WORRIED ABOUTHE STUDENTS AS WELL.
NEWS OF THE MURDER
OF A GIRL THEIR OWN AGE,
A GIRL WHO WAS ALSO
A STUDENT HERE,
THEY COULD BE THROWN
FOR A LOOP.
RIGHT.
SO PLEASE BE CAREFUL
IN HOW YOU RELAY THE NEWS
TO DENISE?
OF COURSE.
THANK YOU.
I'LL GO CALL
THE DISTRICT PSYCHOLOGIST,
MAKE SURE SHE'LL BE AROUND
THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
HERE YOU GO.
THANK YOU,
PRINCIPAL DEAN.
WOW, I'VE NEVER
BEEN IN HERE.
WHEN I WAS A KID,
THIS SEEMED LIKE
A SECRET, MAGICAL ROOM.
I KNOW.
AND NOW HERE WE ARE.
CLIFF?
CLIFF? HEY!
I THOUGHT I MIGHFIND YOU HERE.
YEAH? WHY IS THAT?
WELL, UM, WITH
CONSTRUCTION ON MY HOUSE
BEING DELAYED,
I THOUGHT I MIGHTAKE YOU UP
ON YOUR OFFER
FOR A BID.
YEAH, WE COULD
TALK ABOUT THAT.
UM, TALK TO KIMBERLY,
MY SECRETARY.
SHE'LL MAKE
AN APPOINTMENT FOR YOU--
WELL, IF YOU HAVE
A COUPLE MINUTES,
I'D LOVE TO DO IT NOW.
SORRY.
I GOTTA GET SOME PLANS
FILED WITH THE CITY.
TALK TO KIM.
OKAY, I MIGHT BE GETTING RUSTY.
DENISE...
HI, SHANNON.
HI.
HI.
I HAVEN'SEEN YOU IN AGES.
I KNOW.
SO, BRAD TOLD YOU?
THAT LILY'S DEAD? YEAH.
WE DIDN'T WANT YOU
TO HAVE TO HEAR ABOUT ION THE NEWS.
WE ARE SO SORRY.
WE KNOW WHAGOOD FRIENDS YOU WERE.
YEAH.
SHE WAS MY BEST FRIEND.
I REMEMBER THINKING, THOUGH, HOW
STRANGE IT WAS
THAT LILY WOULD HAVE LEFWITHOUT SAYING GOODBYE.
I SHOULD HAVE TRUSTED
MY INSTINCTS.
IT SEEMS LIKE
WE ALL SHOULD HAVE DONE
SOMETHING DIFFERENT,
JUST SHOULD HAVE KNOWN SOMEHOW.
I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE IT.
EXCUSE ME.
IT'S MY DAD.
OKAY.
HEY, DAD.
HOW'S SEAN?
I IMAGINE NOT TOO GOOD.
I GOT TIRED OF WAITING,
SO I WENT DOWN
TO THE POLICE STATION,
AND TOMMY TOLD ME
THAT SEAN'S ARRAIGNMENWON'T BE UNTIL TOMORROW.
WHAT? WHY?
I DON'T KNOW.
HE WOULDN'T TELL ME.
I'M GOING TO GO
DOWN THERE RIGHT NOW.
OKAY.
I'M ON MY WAY TO SEE
AN LAWYER FRIEND OF MINE,
SEE IF HE CAN HELP.
ALL RIGHT.
LOVE YOU. THANKS.
BYE-BYE.
- BYE.
HEY, YOU GUYS,
I'M SO SORRY,
BUT I HAVE TO RUN.
THAT'S OKAY.
YEAH, IT'S FINE.
I'M GONNA STAY
A LITTLE WHILE LONGER.
THANKS, SHANNON.
BYE.
HEY, WHY IS SEAN STILL
SITTING IN A JAIL CELL?
HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN
ARRAIGNED TODAY.
CHIEF JENSEN WANTS HIM
TO COOL HIS HEELS ANOTHER DAY
WHILE WE FOLLOW UP
ON SOME LEADS.
WHAT DO YOU
MEAN, LEADS?
YOU ARRESTED HIM
FOR ATTACKING CLIFF.
SHOW ME YOUR BADGE,
I'LL BE HAPPY
TO DISCUSS THAT WITH YOU.
HEY...
YOU KNOW MY DAD AND I
ARE THE CLOSEST THING
THAT SEAN HAS
TO FAMILY IN THIS TOWN.
FINE.
YOU KNOW THE GIST OF IT ALREADY.
YOU WERE THERE
WHEN CLIFF ACCUSED SEAN
OF FIGHTING WITH LILY
THE NIGHT BEFORE
SHE DISAPPEARED.
YES, SEAN ADMITS THAT.
WELL, WE PULLED A CASE FILE
ON THE INVESTIGATION DONE
ON LILY'S DISAPPEARANCE.
TWO OF CLIFF'S FRIENDS
THAT WERE WITH HIM
THAT NIGHAT THE CRADDOCK PLACE
REPORTED SEEING A CAR
SITTING OUTSIDE THE HOUSE
WHEN THEY LEFT.
WE ASKED CLIFF
ABOUT IT YESTERDAY.
HE REMEMBERED THE CAR.
HE SAYS HE THOUGHSEAN WAS DRIVING IT.
BUT SEAN LEFT BEFORE CLIFF.
THAT'S WHY
HE WAS SO UPSET YESTERDAY.
CLIFF WAS THE LAST ONE
TO SEE HER.
OR SEAN WAITED FOR CLIFF
AND HIS FRIENDS TO LEAVE,
AND THEN WENT BACK INSIDE.
ARE YOU TELLING ME
THAT YOU THINK SEAN IS A SUSPECIN HIS OWN SISTER'S MURDER?
LET'S JUST SAY
HE'S A PERSON OF INTERESRIGHT NOW,
AND WE DON'T WANT HIM
TAKING OFF, OKAY?
WHAT?
SO, SEAN ATTACKED CLIFF?
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
WHY WOULD HE DO THAT?
WELL, HE SAID
THAT CLIFF WAS THE LAST ONE
TO SEE LILY ALIVE.
HE WAS WITH HER
THE NIGHT BEFORE
SHE DISAPPEARED,
SO...
WHAT? WHY WOULD CLIFF
BE WITH HER?
WELL, WHY WOULDN'T HE BE?
I MEAN, HE WAS HER BOYFRIEND.
WELL.
NOT EXACTLY.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING HERE?
DENISE NEEDS
TO TALK TO TOMMY.
TO TELL HIM WHAT?
THAT LILY BROKE UP WITH CLIFF
THE DAY BEFORE GRADUATION.
REALLY?
YEAH, DENISE TOLD TOMMY
ALL ABOUT CLIFF AND LILY'S
ROCKY RELATIONSHIP.
HE CALLED CLIFF,
AND ASKED HIM TO COME IN
FOR MORE QUESTIONING.
AND THIS SUPPOSED BREAK-UP
DIDN'T COME UP
WHEN THEY WERE INVESTIGATING
LILY'S DISAPPEARANCE?
WELL, IT HAPPENED
AT THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR,
SO NOT MANY PEOPLE
KNEW ABOUT IT,
AND THEN SHE WENT AWAY
FOR A VACATION WITH HER FAMILY,
AND THE POLICE JUST NEVER
INTERVIEWED HER.
WELL, LET'S SEE WHAT HOGARTH
HAS TO SAY FOR HIMSELF.
I'M ABOUT TO INVITE MYSELF
ONTO HIS BOAT.
ASK HIM ABOUT THE CAR
HE SAID HE AND HIS FRIENDS SAW
SITTING OUTSIDE THE HOUSE
THAT NIGHT.
YES, MA'AM.
HEY!
YOUR SECRETARY SAID
YOU'D BE HERE
THIS AFTERNOON.
PERMISSION
TO COME ABOARD?
GRANTED.
ALL RIGHT.
...WELL, FINISH
RE-RIGGING THE SHEETS,
AND REPLACE THE HALYARD.
I'M GETTING IT READY
FOR A TRIP DOWN
TO MEXICO THIS SUMMER.
AW, THAT SOUNDS
LIKE A GOOD TIME.
WOW.
YEAH, IT WILL BE.
BOY, I'M ENJOYING
THAT BEER.
WELL, I HOPE
IT GETS ME
A COUPLE BUCKS KNOCKED
OFF THE RESTORATION.
WELL, IT MIGHAT THAT.
GOOD.
AND I FELT BAD.
I HEARD YOU GOT GRILLED
BY THE COPS AGAIN TODAY.
YOU FOLLOWING ME AROUND?
NAH, SMALL TOWN.
PEOPLE TALK, YOU KNOW.
HEARD THEY WANTED TO TALK
ABOUT YOU AND LILY BREAKING UP
RIGHT BEFORE
SHE DISAPPEARED.
YEAH, LIKE IT'S
SOME BIG OLD SECRET.
RIGHT?
AND YOU GUYS WERE GOING
IN SEPARATE DIRECTIONS ANYWAYS.
SHE WAS OFF TO HOLLYWOOD.
YOU GOT A FOOTBALL
SCHOLARSHIP TO...
UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN.
MICHIGAN?
YEAH.
GIRLS MUST HAVE BEEN
LINED UP TO DATE YOU.
YEAH, THEY WERE.
TRUST ME.
AND YOU AND LILY
STAYED FRIENDS.
I MEAN, YOU SAW HER
THE NIGHT BEFORE
SHE DISAPPEARED.
THAT'S EXACTLY
WHAT I TOLD TOMMY.
YOU KNOW,
SHE CALLED ME
THAT NIGHT.
SHE HAD
A JACKET OF MINE
THAT SHE WANTED
TO GIVE BACK.
WELL, HER BROTHER
SHOWED UP
AND STARTED
GIVING HER GRIEF.
MY GUYS AND I LEFRIGHT AFTER HE DID.
YOU KNOW, TOMMY REMINDED ME
ABOUT SOMETHING.
WHEN MY FRIENDS AND I
WERE LEAVING,
WE SAW A BLACK CAR
PARKED UNDER A TREE
JUST TO THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE,
AND SEAN WAS DRIVING
HIS DAD'S CAR
IN THOSE DAYS,
AND I'M THINKING
IT WAS BLACK.
BOY, SEAN WAS REALLY
YELLING AT HER,
HIS FACE ALL RED...
MAYBE HE WAITED
FOR ME TO LEAVE,
AND WENT BACK IN
TO FINISH THEIR FIGHT.
MAYBE HE PUSHED HER,
I DON'T KNOW.
SO, AM I GONNA BID
ON YOUR RESTORATION OR WHAT?
ABSOLUTELY.
ATTABOY.
SO, IF IT WAS
A BLACK CAR
THAT CLIFF
AND HIS FRIENDS SAW,
THEN IT WASN'T SEAN.
I HAPPEN TO KNOW
THAT SEAN BORROWED
HIS DAD'S CAR IN HIGH SCHOOL,
AND IT WAS GREEN.
HOW DO YOU
REMEMBER THAT?
UM...
I BACKED INTO IAT THE GROCERY STORE
PARKING LOT,
WITH MR. BROGANS IN IT.
WHAT?
IT WAS MY FIRST YEAR DRIVING,
AND IN MY DEFENSE,
MY DAD'S TRUCK WAS HUGE.
I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE
BEEN ABLE TO SEE THAT.
THE INCREDIBLY ABLE
SHANNON HUGHES
MISCALCULATING
SOMETHING?
WHAT, SO
YOUR FIRST YEAR OF DRIVING,
NO FENDER BENDERS?
NO.
WELL, I DROVE MY SISTER'S
COROLLA INTO A DITCH,
BUT THAT DOESN'T COUNAS A FENDER BENDER,
BECAUSE THE FENDER
WAS NOT BENT.
IT WAS CRUSHED.
I TOTALED
THE WHOLE THING.
SHE'S STILL MAD.
WELL, IT'S A GOOD THING
WE DIDN'T GROW UP
IN THE SAME TOWN.
WE WOULD HAVE CRASHED INTO
EACH OTHER LEFT AND RIGHT.
I'M SURE WE WOULD HAVE.
SO, BACK TO WORK.
UM...
WHEN THE POLICE SAY
THAT WE CAN GET BACK
INTO YOUR HOUSE--
YEAH,
THEY ALREADY TOLD ME
YOU CAN GO BACK IN.
GUESS THEY DIDN'T FIND MUCH
IN THE WAY OF EVIDENCE.
REALLY? NOTHING?
WELL, THEY WEREN'GOING TO FIND MUCH
20 YEARS
AFTER THE FACT,
BUT AT LEAST NOW
WE CAN GET CLIFF
TO GIVE US THE QUOTE.
AND SEE IF HIS STORY
HOLDS UP.
GOOD.
BECAUSE I KNOW
SEAN DID NOT HURT LILY.
SO, HOW ARE YOU, SEAN?
ARE YOU DOING ANY BETTER?
I'M HANGING IN THERE.
I'M JUST GLAD SHANNON
GOT ME OUOF THAT JAIL CELL.
IT WAS RIDICULOUS
TO EVER SUSPECT YOU.
THIS IS READY TO GO, HONEY.
GOOD.
I WENT THROUGH
MY OLD HIGH SCHOOL BOX,
LOOKING FOR
PHOTOS OF LILY.
YOU KNOW, IN CASE
YOU WANT TO HOLD
A MEMORIAL FOR HER SOMETIME?
UM... YEAH,
I'LL THINK ABOUT IT.
OKAY.
WELL, I FOUND
ALL KINDS OF STUFF,
AND BRAD SCANNED IINTO A VIDEO,
AND...
IT'S STILL
A WORK IN PROGRESS,
BUT WE THOUGHYOU'D LIKE TO SEE IT.
YEAH.
OKAY.
FLY...
LIKE A RAVEN...
BLACK HONEY
INTO THE NIGHT
SOFT...
LIKE THE AIR BENEATH
A SWAN--
SERIOUSLY, LILY?
YOU HAVE TO WRITE
IN THAT DIARY
EVEN AT DRESS REHEARSAL?
FOR THE FAMOUS MEMOIR
I'M GOING TO WRITE SOMEDAY.
DREAM...
ARE YOU GUYS HUNGRY?
I MADE
SOME SANDWICHES.
YEAH,
THAT'D BE GREAT.
THANK YOU.
OKAY.
DO YOU WANT TO STARTHE COFFEE, HONEY?
SO LILY KEPT A DIARY?
YEAH, SHE USED TO WRITE
IN THOSE BLANK JOURNALS
ALL THE TIME.
SHE'D JUST FILL THEM UP,
ONE AFTER THE OTHER.
DO YOU STILL HAVE ANY OF THEM?
A COUPLE.
THEY'RE FROM
WHEN SHE WAS YOUNGER.
THEN WHEN SHE GOT OLDER,
SHE WOULD HIDE THOSE THINGS
WHERE NOBODY COULD FIND THEM.
HIDE THEM WHERE, HER ROOM?
ANYWHERE BUT THERE.
MY MOM WAS NOSY.
I DON'T KNOW,
I MEAN, THE LAST TIME I SAW HER
WRITE IN ONE OF THOSE
WAS THE... CRADDOCK HOUSE.
SEAN SAID
SHE USED TO SLEEP
IN HERE SOMETIMES.
IF SHE FELT SAFE ENOUGH
TO SLEEP IN HERE,
I BET SHE FELIT WAS A GOOD PLACE
TO HIDE HER DIARY.
BUT WHERE'S
A GOOD HIDING PLACE?
I DON'T SEE
TOO MANY POSSIBILITIES.
YOU'RE A WRITER.
USE YOUR IMAGINATION.
LOOK WHAT I FOUND.
I WON'T PRETEND
WE DIDN'READ THROUGH THE DIARY
WHILE WE WERE
WAITING FOR YOU.
I WOULD HAVE
BET MONEY ON IT.
ANYTHING
I SHOULD BE LOOKING FOR?
MOST OF IT SEEMS TO BE
LILY WRITING ABOUT HOW MUCH
SHE WANTED TO BE IN THE MOVIES.
OR HOW SHE WAS AFRAID
HER PARENTS MIGHGET A DIVORCE.
BUT THERE WERE A FEW THINGS
THAT SURPRISED ME.
SHE WAS FAILING MATH,
AND SHE TALKS ABOUT WANTING
TO HIRE BRAD JONES
TO TUTOR HER.
I DIDN'T KNOW
BRAD TUTORED STUDENTS.
I WISH
I'D KNOWN THAT,
I BARELY MADE ITHROUGH TRIG.
IS THERE ANYTHING
ABOUT CLIFF?
NOT A LOT,
WHICH I DON'T GET.
I MEAN,
HER BOYFRIEND?
SHE DOES TALK ABOUA FIGHT THAT THEY GOT IN
AFTER SHE ACCUSED HIM
OF CHEATING.
I MEAN, WE SAW
THAT COMING.
BUT THE MOSSURPRISING THING TO ME
IS HOW SHE TALKS
ABOUT DENISE.
SHE CALLS HER
QUOTE "TWO-FACED,"
SAID THAT SHE LIED ABOUT HER
TO THE DRAMA TEACHER.
LIED
ABOUT WHAT?
I DON'T KNOW,
THIS IS THE LAST PAGE
OF THE DIARY,
AND SHE WROTE THIS
A GOOD MONTH BEFORE SHE DIED.
YOU KNOW,
HER BROTHER SAID
SHE USED TO FILL DIARIES,
LIKE, ONE AFTER ANOTHER,
SO WE WERE THINKING
SHE MIGHT HAVE ANOTHER ONE
HIDDEN SOMEWHERE.
PROBABLY SOMEWHERE
IN THIS HOUSE.
WE SEARCHED ITHOROUGHLY,
ALTHOUGH WE DIDN'FIND THIS ONE.
GUESS IT IS POSSIBLE.
I CAN BRING ANOTHER TEAM IN
TO SEARCH AGAIN.
I'M ABOUTO TEAR THIS PLACE UP
TO RENOVATE IT.
I CAN JUST LET MY CREW KNOW
TO KEEP A LOOK OUT.
THAT'LL DO.
I CAN'T BELIEVE I LET YOU
TALK ME INTO THIS.
I MEAN, DO YOU REALLY THINK
THAT DENISE AND BRAD
ARE GOING TO BELIEVE
WE'RE HERE
TO GIVE THEM COOKIES?
WHY NOT?
EVERYBODY WHO STAYS
AT YOUR B&B
LOVES YOUR RECIPES.
AND WHO WOULDN'T LOVE
GETTING ONE
OF THESE BASKETS?
YOU REALLY DON'T THINK
THAT THEY'RE GONNA KNOW
THAT WE'RE HERE
TO GRILL THEM?
DON'T THINK OF IAS GRILLING.
JUST THINK OF IT AS...
REMINISCING.
HEY, LOIS,
WE'RE HERE TO SEE BRAD.
HE'S WITH A STUDENT,
SHOULD BE OUT IN A MINUTE.
YOU KNOW, IT'S TOO BAD
YOU DIDN'T FIND
MORE OF LILY'S
DIARIES YESTERDAY.
I KNOW, BUT...
WE'RE NOT GIVING UP.
WE SEARCHED THE SECOND
FLOOR YESTERDAY,
AND WE'RE GOING BACK TONIGHTO SEARCH THE GROUND FLOOR.
OKAY.
WHY DON'T YOU TALK TO BRAD,
AND I'LL GO TALK TO DENISE,
AND THEN WE CAN
GET THIS OVER WITH?
OKAY.
OKAY.
NO, GOVERNOR,
WE'VE GOT TWO VIP SEATS
SAVED FOR YOU
FOR THE BIG GAME...
YEAH, OKAY, ALL RIGHT.
I'LL SEE YOU
AFTER PRACTICE.
YEAH, AT 4:30.
TELL ME THAT KID
DOESN'T REMIND YOU
OF CLIFF HOGARTH.
YEAH.
HEY, WALK WITH ME?
I NEED SOMETHING
FROM MY OTHER OFFICE.
YEAH.
- OKAY.
SHANNON WAS GOING TO REPLACE
THE ENTIRE UNDERSIDE
OF THE EAVES.
SHE SAID THE WOOD
WAS STARTING TO ROT.
YOU WANT TO KEEP TELLING ME
WHAT SHE WAS GONNA DO,
OR DO YOU WANT TO HEAR
WHAT I WOULD DO?
COME ON,
EVERYONE AROUND HERE KNOWS
YOU'RE THE KING OF CONSTRUCTION.
YOU GOT THAT RIGHT.
I LIKE THE NAME
OF YOUR COMPANY, BY THE WAY.
MUST HAVE BEEN COOL
TO BE A BIG FOOTBALL HERO.
I WAS A BOOKWORM,
THE OPPOSITE OF COOL.
YEAH,
I CAN SEE THAT.
BUT THAT MUST HAVE BEEN CRAZY.
I MEAN, HAVING GIRLS
CHASE YOU AROUND.
YEAH, WELL...
I WAS WITH LILY.
RIGHT.
YOU MUST HAVE HAD FUN
WITH SOME OTHER GIRLS, TOO.
I MEAN, HOW COULD YOU RESIST?
AW, IT WASN'T HARD.
YOU GONNA WANDOUBLE-PANE WINDOWS?
YEAH.
AND MAKE SURE
YOU FACTOR IN THE COSOF SEARCHING EVERYTHING
THAT GOES OUT THE DOOR.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
ONE OF LILY'S OLD DIARIES
WAS FOUND UPSTAIRS,
SO THE POLICE THINK
THERE MIGHT BE ANOTHER ONE
HIDDEN IN THE HOUSE,
SO WHOEVER DOES THE RENOVATION
IS GONNA HAVE TO KEEP
AN EYE OUT.
PROBABLY A WASTE OF TIME.
BUT...
I MEAN, YOU KNEW HER.
DO YOU THINK SHE WOULD HAVE
WRITTEN SOMETHING DOWN
THAT WOULD POINT TO HER KILLER?
I DON'T KNOW.
I-I'VE SEEN ENOUGH HERE.
UM, I'LL...
I'LL SEND YOU MY QUOTE.
OKAY.
TELL JENNIFER I SAID THANKS.
I WILL.
I TOLD HER ABOUTHE MONTAGE YOU DID OF LILY.
SHE'S TRYING TO TALK SEAN
INTO A MEMORIAL.
YEAH, I DON'T KNOW THAHE'S KEEN ON THE IDEA.
WELL, IF IT DOES HAPPEN,
I KNOW DENISE WOULD HAVE
AMAZING STORIES TO TELL
ABOUT LILY,
EVEN IF THEY FOUGHSOMETIMES.
THAT'S WHAT YOU DO
IN HIGH SCHOOL.
WOW, THESE ARE NICE DIGS.
YEAH...
YEAH, I LIKE IBACK HERE, YOU KNOW?
I'M CLOSER TO THE COACHES,
I'M CLOSER TO THE ATHLETES,
BUT IT DOES SMELL A LITTLE
LIKE OLD TENNIS SHOES.
SO, WHAT ABOUT YOU?
IF WE HAD A MEMORIAL,
WOULD YOU HAVE SOME STORIES
TO SHARE ABOUT LILY?
NO, I DOUBT IT.
WE JUST, WE WEREN'T THAT CLOSE.
BUT YOU DID TUTOR HER, RIGHT?
YEAH, HOW'D YOU KNOW THAT?
HARDLY ANYONE KNOWS THAT.
I READ HER DIARY.
I FOUND IAT THE CRADDOCK HOUSE,
AND SHE WROTE ABOUWANTING TO HIRE YOU.
YOU FOUND LILY'S DIARY
AT THE CRADDOCK HOUSE?
YEAH, ONE OF THEM.
THERE MIGHT BE MORE.
I'M STILL LOOKING, BUT...
WHY IS IT NOBODY KNOWS
ABOUT YOU TUTORING HER?
WELL, SHE JUST, SHE DIDN'WANT ANYONE TO KNOW.
YOU KNOW, WE COULDN'T HAVE
CLIFF GETTING JEALOUS,
NOW, COULD WE?
WHY WOULD CLIFF GET JEALOUS--
KAITLYN INSTONE'S
PARENTS
ARE WAITING
IN MY OFFICE.
IS IT 10:30 ALREADY?
OKAY, I'M COMING RIGHT NOW.
EXCUSE ME.
I'M SURE BRAD WON'T MIND.
COOKIE?
YEAH.
OF COURSE, THERE'S
LOTS OF MONEY FOR FOOTBALL
AND SPORTS,
AND I KNOW THASOME OF THE FOOTBALL MONEY
PAYS FOR OTHER THINGS,
BUT DOES IT EVER
TRICKLE DOWN TO THE ARTS?
NO.
BACK WHEN WE WERE
IN SCHOOL,
IT WAS SO DIFFERENT.
LILY AND I USED TO ORDER
COSTUMES FROM A CATALOG.
REALLY?
CAN YOU IMAGINE?
SHE'D ALWAYS ORDER THE MOSEXPENSIVE ONE, TOO.
WE HAD A HUGE FIGHABOUT IT THIS ONE TIME.
WE BOTH WANTED TO ORDER
THE SAME COSTUME.
WE GOT SO CRAZY ABOUT IT.
WHAT, THAT'S ALL
IT WAS ABOUT?
DENISE,
I'M SO RELIEVED.
I MEAN, SHANNON,
SHE JUST,
SHE MADE IT SOUND LIKE
IT PRACTICALLY ENDED
YOUR FRIENDSHIP, AND--
WHAT?
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
JUST WHAT LILY SAID
ABOUT YOU IN HER DIARY.
SHANNON FOUND HER DIARY?
THE LIGHT'S OUT.
ONE MORE THING TO FIX.
THAT'S WEIRD.
SOMEONE LEFA HEATER ON?
THAT'S NOT LIKE
MY GUYS.
THIS HEATER
IS STRESSING THE CONNECTION.
IT'S TOO MUCH AMPERAGE.
OKAY, THIS WAS NOT MY GUYS.
THEY KNOW BETTER THAN TO USE
A HOUSEHOLD EXTENSION CORD.
WELL, WHO WAS IT?
DON'T TOUCH THAT,
YOU'LL BURN YOURSELF.
THAT'S TURPENTINE.
DO NOT LET THAT SAWDUSCATCH FIRE.
THIS WHOLE PLACE
MIGHT GO UP IN FLAMES.
WH-WHERE YOU GOING?
I'VE GOT TO KILL THE POWER!
RIGHT.
YOU OKAY?
I FOUND THIS
IN THE BREAKER BOX.
SOMEONE USED ITO TIE OFF THE SWITCH,
SO IT WOULDN'T TRIP
WHEN IT OVER-AMPED.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
IT MEANS SOMEBODY TRIED
TO BURN DOWN YOUR HOUSE.
THE INVESTIGATOR
CONFIRMED
THAT, YES, SOMEONE
DELIBERATELY TRIED
TO SET YOUR HOUSE
ON FIRE.
AND THEY TRIED
TO MAKE IT LOOK
LIKE AN ORDINARY
ELECTRICAL FIRE.
YEAH, NO ONE WOULD
HAVE SUSPECTED ARSON.
YOUR HOUSE WOULD HAVE BEEN
A HEAP OF ASHES BY NOW.
OKAY, BUT I DON'UNDERSTAND.
I MEAN, YOU'VE ALREADY DONE
THE CRIME SCENE THING
WITH ALL THE TAPE,
AND YOU ALREADY HAVE
ALL THE EVIDENCE
THAT YOU'RE GONNA FIND...
YEAH, SO WHY MAKE THE HOUSE
GO UP IN FLAMES NOW?
GOOD QUESTION.
WELL, WE THINK
SOMEONE WAS
TRYING TO ELIMINATE
THE CHANCE OF FINDING
MORE OF LILY'S DIARIES.
NO, THAT CAN'T BE IT.
I MEAN, ME AND THE CHIEF
ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT KNOW
THAT YOU FOUND THE FIRST DIARY.
UM, BRAD KNOWS.
I TOLD HIM.
AND I TOLD CLIFF.
AND I TOLD DENISE.
GREAT.
THE WAY GOSSIP TRAVELS
IN THIS TOWN,
ANYONE AND EVERYONE
COULD KNOW BY NOW.
SHANNON,
I WANT YOUR WORD
YOU'LL STAY AWAY
FROM THAT HOUSE
TILL I TELL YOU DIFFERENT.
FINE.
WELL...
LOOKS LIKE
WORK ON YOUR HOUSE
WILL HAVE TO BE DELAYED
FOR A WHILE.
YEAH.
HEY, I WOULDN'T BE
RUSHING OVER THERE
AFTER SUCH A CLOSE CALL.
I WISH WE'D
GOT THERE SOONER.
I THINK WE JUST MISSED
WHOEVER SET IT UP.
YEAH, IT CAN'T BE JUST ANYONE.
IT HAS TO BE SOMEBODY
THAT WE TOLD.
LIKE CLIFF, OR BRAD, OR--
DON'T SAY DENISE.
I REALLY LIKE DENISE.
AND, YES,
SHE ADMITTED TO HAVING
A FIGHT WITH LILY
BEFORE SHE DIED,
BUT IT WAS OVER A COSTUME.
YOU SAID
SHE SEEMED NERVOUS
ABOUT THE PROSPECT OF SOMEONE
FINDING ANOTHER DIARY.
OKAY, YEAH, BUT...
BRAD ACTED FUNNY, TOO.
HE SAID LILY WANTED TO KEEP
HIS TUTORING HER A SECRET,
SO THAT CLIFF
WOULDN'T GET JEALOUS.
I WISH THERE WAS A WAY TO GECLOSER TO BRAD AND DENISE.
YEAH.
HEY, DIDN'T YOU SAY
DENISE WAS COMPLAINING
THAT THE DRAMA DEPARTMENWAS HURTING FOR FUNDS?
YEAH.
I THINK I KNOW A WAY
WE CAN SPEND MORE TIME
AT THE SCHOOL.
WHEN JENNIFER TOLD ME
YOU WERE WILLING
TO HELP BUILD
THE SET FOR THE PLAY,
I WAS THRILLED.
WELL, SINCE I JUST FINISHED
THE CASSINI CONTRACT,
I MIGHT AS WELL PUT THE TIME
I ALLOTTED FOR
THE CRADDOCK HOUSE TO GOOD USE.
FANTASTIC.
OKAY, SO
I'VE SIGNED YOU BOTH IN
FOR THE VOLUNTEER LOG
FOR TODAY.
OOH... I FEEL
SO OFFICIAL.
YOU ARE,
YOU'RE AN OFFICIAL ANGEL.
SO, COME WITH ME,
WE'LL GO GET SOME FABRIC
FOR THE COSTUMES.
AND SHANNON,
I'LL COME BACK
TO TAKE YOU
TO THE WOOD SHOP
AND SHOW YOU THE MATERIALS
WE HAVE TO WORK WITH.
OKAY, UM, BUT BRAD COULD
SHOW ME IF HE HAS TIME.
EVEN BETTER.
JUST ASK HIM.
OKAY.
THANK YOU.
HEY.
DO YOU HAVE TIME TO SHOW ME
WHERE THE WOOD SHOP IS?
YEAH, IT'LL COST YOU A NICKEL.
AND WE GOTTA MAKE A PIT STOP
AT MY OTHER OFFICE.
OKAY.
- OKAY.
SO, SET-BUILDER,
THAT'S A NEW ONE
FOR OUR VOLUNTEER ROSTER.
YEAH, IT'S KIND OF LIKE
SNACK BAR-BUILDER.
MAN, WHEN YOU WALK
DOWN THESE HALLWAYS,
DO YOU EVER FEEL LIKE
YOU'RE BACK
IN SCHOOL YOURSELF?
I SOMETIMES I GETHAT TIME TRAVEL SENSATION,
YEAH.
DO YOU EVER WISH
YOU'D DATED DENISE
BACK THEN?
I THINK THINGS HAPPEN
WHEN THEY'RE
SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN.
WHAT ABOUT LILY?
WELL, YOU MENTIONED
YESTERDAY
THAT, LILY DIDN'WANT CLIFF TO KNOW
THAT YOU TWO WERE
SPENDING TIME TOGETHER,
SO IT JUSMADE ME WONDER
IF ANYTHING HAPPENED
WITH YOU TWO.
SO, WHERE IS THIS
COMING FROM?
IS THIS MORE
DIARY STUFF?
NO, I'M JUST CURIOUS.
REALLY?
'CAUSE IT KIND OF FEELS
LIKE AN ACCUSATION.
LOOK...
I WANT TO KNOW
WHAT HAPPENED TO LILY
AS MUCH AS ANYONE,
BUT SHE AND I
DON'T HAVE
SOME DEEP, DARK
HISTORY TOGETHER.
I TUTORED HER
THREE OR FOUR TIMES.
THAT'S IT.
GO ON, GET OUTTA HERE!
CHILL, I WAS
JUST TALKING
TO MY GIRLFRIEND
ON THE PHONE.
THIS IS NOA STUDENT LOUNGE!
I'M NOT GONNA
TELL YOU AGAIN!
MIKE, I'LL
TAKE CARE OF IT.
AARON, CAN YOU HOLD UP?
AARON... AARON!
HEY, CAN I TALK TO YOU
FOR A SECOND, PLEASE?
HEY!
I REMEMBER YOU FROM
WHEN I WENT TO SCHOOL HERE.
YOU'RE MIKE, RIGHT?
DO YOU REMEMBER ME?
NOT SO MUCH.
I ONLY REMEMBER
THE TROUBLEMAKERS,
AND THAT KID THERE, AARON WHITE,
HE DOES WHATEVER HE WANTS,
JUST 'CAUSE
HE CAN THROW A FOOTBALL.
WELL, I'M SURE BRAD
WILL STRAIGHTEN HIM OUT.
YOU'RE SUCH A JOKE...
HEY-- AARON.
AARON...
MORE LIKE
THE OTHER WAY AROUND.
WELL, THE BID
IS SELF-EXPLANATORY,
AND IT'S IN THE RIGHT BALLPARK,
BUT, I DO HAVE
A FEW QUESTIONS.
WELL, LET'S HEAR 'EM.
WELL, IF I
HAVE TO ADD SECURITY,
IS THAT SOMETHING THAI'D GO TO YOU FOR,
OR DO I CONTRACWITH ANOTHER COMPANY?
WELL, I'LL GET YOU
A BETTER DEAL.
GOOD.
GOOD, BECAUSE,
LAST NIGHT,
SOMEONE TRIED TO BURN
MY HOUSE DOWN.
WHAT?
YEAH, RIGGED ITO CATCH FIRE.
THAT'S CRAZY.
YEAH.
POLICE SAY THAT IT MIGHT HAVE
SOMETHING TO DO WITH LILY,
LIKE SOMEONE'S AFRAID
THAT MORE DIARIES
ARE GONNA BE FOUND,
BUT I READ THE FIRST ONE,
AND IT'S PRETTY DRY READING.
THOUGH THERE WAS A FUNNY BIABOUT HER BEING MAD
THAT YOU GOT BETTER GRADES
THAN SHE DID.
WELL, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
LILY WAS ALWAYS
SMARTER THAN ME.
THEY ALWAYS ARE.
WHAT'S UP, CLIFF?
YOU KNOW THAT CAR?
NO.
NO, AND YOU KNOW WHAT?
I'M TIRED OF ALL YOUR QUESTIONS.
I'M TIRED OF YOU TALKING
ABOUT LILY ALL THE TIME.
I'M TIRED OF THE WHOLE THING.
I DON'T WANT ANYTHING
TO DO WITH YOUR HOUSE.
I'M WITHDRAWING MY BID.
WAIT...
YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME.
THANK YOU
FOR STAYING LATE
TO HELP ME WITH
THESE COSTUMES.
ARE YOU KIDDING?
THIS WAS SO MUCH FUN.
TONIGHT, I'M GONNA LOOK
THROUGH MY PATTERN BOOK,
AND FIND SOME GOOD
COSTUME IDEAS.
PERFECT.
DENISE, DON'T FORGET,
VOLUNTEERS HAVE TO SIGN OUWHEN THEY LEAVE?
RIGHT.
I'LL DO IT.
I'LL MEET YOU GUYS OUTSIDE.
THANKS, SHAN.
ALL RIGHT.
THANKS, SHANNON.
LIKE I SAID,
THE DISTRICT WAS AWARE
OF DENISE'S RECORD.
WELL, IT SURPRISES ME
THAT YOU'D OVERLOOK
A BATTERY CONVICTION
WHEN HIRING A TEACHER.
THE INCIDENT HAPPENED
WHEN SHE WAS IN COLLEGE.
IT'S NOT UNUSUAL
FOR YOUNG PEOPLE
TO HAVE DIFFICULTY
MANAGING THEIR EMOTIONS.
SHE PASSED CUR PSYCHOLOGICAL
SCREENING WITH FLYING COLORS,
HAD A SOLID WORK HISTORY,
EXCELLENT REFERENCES.
AND I'M SURE
HAVING HER HUSBAND
LOBBYING FOR HER DIDN'T HURT.
IF YOU'RE SUGGESTING
I CAN BE PERSUADED
TO MAKE DECISIONS
AGAINST THE BEST INTERESTS
OF MY STUDENTS--
NO, I'M NOT QUESTIONING
YOUR JUDGMENT, DARREN.
GOOD.
BECAUSE DENISE JONES
IS A DEDICATED TEACHER,
AND THE SOONER YOU CAN CLEAR HER
FROM YOUR SUSPECT LIST,
THE HAPPIER WE'LL ALL BE.
OKAY, THEN.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
I WASN'T EXPECTING TO SEE
YOU GUYS ON MY DOORSTEP.
YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
WE WERE TOLD
THAT SOMEONE TRIED
TO BURN DOWN
THE CRADDOCK HOUSE.
WITH YOU IN IT.
THAT.
WHY DIDN'YOU TELL ME?
I DIDN'T WANT TO WORRY YOU.
WELL, NOW
I'M TWICE AS WORRIED.
SHANNON,
YOUR DAD IS WORRIED
THAT MAYBE
LOOKING FOR LILY'S KILLER
IS TOO DANGEROUS.
YOU'RE DARN
RIGHT I AM,
AND YOU SHOULD NEVER
HAVE ASKED HER TO DO IT.
AND YOU SHOULDN'HAVE AGREED
TO PUT YOURSELF
IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
DAD...
LOOK...
I KNOW THE WAY YOUR MOTHER DIED
STILL HAUNTS YOU.
AND I KNOW
THAT YOU DON'T TRUSTHE POLICE TO DO THE JOB--
THAT'S NOT WHAT THIS IS ABOUT--
BUT WILL NOT HAVE MY DAUGHTER
PUT HER LIFE IN DANGER
FOR YOU
OR ANYONE ELSE.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
THIS STOPS NOW.
LET THE POLICE HANDLE IT.
PLEASE.
I AM SORRY THAT I GOT YOU
IN TROUBLE WITH YOUR DAD.
HEY, HE'S MAD AT YOU, TOO.
YEAH.
HEY...
DO YOU WANT ME TO DROP THIS?
I KNOW I DON'T WANT YOU
GETTING HURT.
THAT'S NOT REALLY AN ANSWER.
I'M SORRY.
THAT'S ALL I'VE GOT.
I MUST BE
LOSING MY TOUCH.
I MEAN, THE WAY THACLIFF GRABBED THE QUOTE
AND THEN WALKED AWAY?
THAT NEVER
WOULD HAVE HAPPENED
WHEN I WAS ON MY GAME.
UM, CAN WE HAVE
A TABLE FOR TWO, PLEASE?
THANK YOU.
SEE, THIS IS WHERE
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO SAY,
"NO, MAC,
"YOU HAVEN'T LOSYOUR INVESTIGATIVE EDGE.
CLIFF IS JUSA TOUGH NUT TO CRACK."
OR, HE'S JUST WORRIED
ALL OF HIS SECRETS
MIGHT COME OUT.
I'M SURE DENISE IS.
SHE LOSES
HER TEMPER, RIGHT?
WELL, SHE DID
AT ONE POINT, BUT...
I STILL DON'T SEE
HOW ALL THE PIECES
FIT TOGETHER.
AT FIRST I THOUGHBRAD AND LILY
WERE HAVING
A SECRET ROMANCE
AND CLIFF WAS JEALOUS.
NOW I'M THINKING
MAYBE IT WAS DENISE
THAT WAS JEALOUS?
OKAY...
SO, TOMORROW'S
BACK TO SCHOOL AGAIN
FOR YOU?
OKAY, THIS
SOUNDS SILLY,
BUT WHEN I WALK
BACK IN THERE,
I FEEL ALMOST LIKE
I'M 17 AGAIN.
I FEEL INSECURE, AND AWKWARD,
AND LIKE I DON'REALLY KNOW WHO I AM,
OR WHAT I'M DOING.
MY DAD SCOLDED ME TODAY.
HE THINKS I SHOULD LEAVE
EVERYTHING UP TO THE POLICE.
LITERALLY SCOLDED ME.
THAT MADE ME FEEL
LIKE A KID, TOO.
HEY...
THIS IS WHERE YOU TELL ME THAI'M DOING THE RIGHT THING
BY FINDING LILY'S KILLER.
THAT WOULD REQUIRE
A CERTAINTY
I DON'T HAVE RIGHT NOW.
UM...
I HAVE A GIANT CASE
OF WRITER'S BLOCK.
I THOUGHT I HAD THIS GREAT,
LIKE, TRUE CRIME NOVEL IN ME,
BUT I'M
A HUNDRED PAGES IN,
AND I CAN'T EVEN GET INTO
MY PROTAGONIST'S HEAD.
I QUIT MY JOB
TO WRITE THIS NOVEL,
SO...
I'M CHASING AROUND
THIS MYSTERY WITH YOU,
RELYING ON
YOUR CERTAINTY.
YOU'RE GONNA
HAVE TO TELL ME.
IS TRYING TO FIND OUWHO KILLED LILY BROGANS
THE RIGHT THING TO DO?
YES.
ABSOLUTELY.
SEE?
I KNEW YOU'D BE CERTAIN.
YOUR UNWAVERING
MORAL COMPASS,
IT'S ONE OF MY FAVORITE
THINGS ABOUT YOU.
AND, I LOVE HOW YOU, UM,
DRUM YOUR PENCIL
WHEN YOU'RE PORING OVER
YOUR BUILDING PLANS.
REALLY?
IS THAT THE BEST YOU GOT?
I LOVE THAYOU BITE YOUR LOWER LIP
WHEN YOU'RE THINKING.
MORE COFFEE?
THANK YOU.
AW, MAN!
ARE YOU STILL GOING?
HOW AM I
SUPPOSED TO SLEEP
WITH ALL THAT NOISE?
I'M PRETTY SURE YOU'RE
SUPPOSED TO BE IN CLASS.
YEAH, ONLY IF I WANTO DIE OF BOREDOM.
YOU LOOK TOUGH,
YOU'LL SURVIVE.
BESIDES, YOU HAVE TO HAVE
PASSING GRADES
TO PLAY FOOTBALL.
I KNOW THE WHOLE SCHOOL'S
COUNTING ON YOU TO PLAY FRIDAY.
I'M GONNA PLAY.
YOU DON'T GOTTA
WORRY ABOUT THAT.
SO, ARE YOU WORRIED
ABOUT WHAT LILY WROTE
IN HER DIARY?
WHY WOULD I BE WORRIED?
JUST BECAUSE
THE POLICE,
THEY MIGHT CONSIDER YOU
A SUSPECT IN HER MURDER
BECAUSE THEY KNOW
ABOUT THE BIG FIGHT.
EVEN THOUGH I KNOW
THAT IT WAS JUSABOUT A COSTUME.
WELL, IT'D BE DUMB
TO THINK IT'S ME.
I KNOW SOMETHING
THAT COULD POINT THEM
IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
ONLY, BRAD KEEPS
TALKING ME OUT OF
SAYING ANYTHING
ABOUT IT.
WHAT? I MEAN,
WHY WOULD BRAD--
BECAUSE IT'S ABOUT CLIFF.
I DON'T KNOW,
IT'S WEIRD.
BRAD'S BEEN PROTECTIVE
OF CLIFF,
EVER SINCE SCHOOL.
SO YOU'RE SAYING
THAT YOU THINK
THAT CLIFF KILLED LILY?
WHEN LILY BROKE UP WITH CLIFF,
I ASKED HER WHY,
AND SHE SAID THASHE KNEW SOMETHING ABOUT HIM
THAT COULD TOTALLY
RUIN HIS LIFE.
I THOUGHT SHE WAS
BEING OVER DRAMATIC THEN,
BUT NOW?
HANG ON.
YOU'RE KIDDING ME.
UM, CAN I
GIVE YOU THAT?
OF COURSE.
OKAY, THANKS.
HELLO?
NO, I'M NOT LISTENING.
YOU CAN'T SAY THAT.
WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?
IT'S RIDICULOUS!
NO, I'M NOLISTENING TO YOU
IF YOU CAN'T SAY
THAT THIS ISN'T TRUE.
HEY, MIKE?
MIKE!
HEY, YOU'RE LOOKING
FOR MIKE, TOO?
YEAH, UM...
I WAS LOOKING
FOR 16-PENNY NAILS,
I THOUGHT HE MIGHT HAVE SOME.
WELL, IT DOESN'T LOOK
LIKE HE'S HERE,
AND I HAVE A MEETING TO GET TO.
I'VE GOTTA GET SPONSORS
TO BUY BANNERS FOR THE GAME.
HEY, IF YOU SEE HIM,
WILL YOU TELL HIM
ONE OF THE SHOWERS
IN THE BOYS' LOCKER ROOM
IS LEAKING?
YEAH.
- OKAY.
HEY, SHANNON.
HEY, CAN YOU FIND A REASON
TO TALK TO CLIFF AGAIN?
MAYBE.
WHAT'S UP?
REMEMBER HOW LILY CALLED CLIFF
A CHEATER IN HER DIARY?
I DON'T THINK SHE WAS TALKING
ABOUT ROMANTIC CHEATING.
ASK CLIFF IF BRAD JONES
EVER TUTORED HIM IN HIGH SCHOOL,
AND THEN ASK HIM
IF BRAD EVER HELPED HIM
CHEAT ON TESTS.
OKAY, GOT IT.
HELLO?
CLIFF!
ANYBODY HERE?
CLIFF?
SO, HOW'S CLIFF?
ANY NEWS?
YEAH, UM, THE DOCTOR SAYS
THAT HE HAS 20 STITCHES
IN HIS SCALP.
POOR GUY.
YEAH.
THE CT SCAN SAID
THERE WASN'T ANY DAMAGE,
BUT HE HASN'T REGAINED
CONSCIOUSNESS YET.
SO, WHAT,
YOU JUST FOUND HIM
ON THE FLOOR OF HIS OFFICE?
HIS EQUIPMENT ROOM.
BUT, YEAH,
THE DOOR WAS WIDE OPEN.
SECRETARY SAID THEY WERE
WORKING A LARGE PROPOSAL,
CLIFF SENT THEM TO A LATE LUNCH,
BUT HE NEVER SHOWED.
SO...
DO THEY THINK
IT'S AN ACCIDENT, OR--
GOOD THING
YOU WERE THERE.
RIGHT?
HEY, TOMMY.
WHAT'S UP?
I GUESS YOU HEARD
CLIFF HOGARTH
IS IN THE HOSPITAL.
YEAH, MAC JUST TOLD US.
WELL...
THIS IS WHAT PUT HIM THERE...
...AND IT'S GOYOUR NAME ON IT.
YOU DON'T THINK
THAT I HIT CLIFF, DO YOU?
OF COURSE NOT,
BUT I NEED YOU TO TELL ME
WHO MIGHT HAVE
GOTTEN AHOLD
OF YOUR WRENCH.
DID YOU LEND ITO ANYONE?
NO, IT WAS
IN MY TOOL BOX THIS MORNING.
AND WHERE'S
YOUR TOOL BOX NOW?
AT THE SCHOOL.
I'VE BEEN BUILDING A SEFOR THE SCHOOL PLAY.
ANYONE COULD HAVE
GRABBED IT.
ALL RIGHT, WELL,
I BETTER GO ASK CLIFF
WHO PAID HIM A VISIT.
THE DOC SAYS
HE'S STILL UNCONSCIOUS.
OKAY, WELL THEN, I GUESS
I'LL WAIT FOR HIM TO WAKE UP.
I'LL GO WITH YOU.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE
HE'S OKAY.
THAT'S A...
THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.
YOU GUYS GO AHEAD,
'CAUSE SHANNON AND I,
WE HAVE TO, UM...
WE HAVE TO GO SOMEWHERE.
WHAT? WHAT IS THE HURRY?
I THINK I KNOW
WHO TOOK YOUR WRENCH.
WHO?
HI.
HEY, CAN WE COME IN?
YEAH, COME ON IN.
WOULD YOU LIKE
SOME COFFEE?
DENISE...
CLIFF WAS ATTACKED.
THAT'S TERRIBLE.
DENISE,
I OVERHEARD CHIEF JENSEN
TELLING PRINCIPAL DEAN
THAT YOU WERE ONCE
ARRESTED FOR BATTERY.
AND WE KNOW
THAT YOU BELIEVE
THAT CLIFF, HE'S THE ONE
THAT PROBABLY KILLED LILY--
THAT'S NOWHY I--
JENN SAW YOU STANDING
NEXT TO MY TOOLBOX.
YOU REACHED IN IAND GRABBED
ONE OF THE WRENCHES,
DIDN'T YOU?
THEN WENT DOWN
TO CLIFF'S OFFICE
AND HIT HIM WITH IT?
THAT PHONE CALL I GOWHEN WE WERE TALKING?
THAT WAS CLIFF...
DEMANDING TO KNOW
WHERE BRAD WAS,
TELLING ME THAIT'S BRAD WHO KILLED LILY,
TELLING ME HE'S GONNA GO
TO THE POLICE.
I HAD TO TALK TO HIM.
I TOOK THE WRENCH
TO PROTECT MYSELF AGAINST HIM,
AND HE LAUGHED AT ME
WHEN HE SAW ME
STANDING THERE WITH IT,
SAID I DIDN'T HAVE THE GUTS
TO HIT HIM WITH IT.
TURNS OUT I HAD THE GUTS.
WHAT WAS I
SUPPOSED TO DO,
LET HIM KEEP LYING
ABOUT BRAD?
ARE YOU SURE
IT'S A LIE?
ARE YOU SURE
THAT BRAD DIDN'T--
YES, I'M SURE!
I KNOW BRAD LIKE I KNOW MYSELF.
HE'S A GOOD PERSON.
SO WHY DID CLIFF THINK
BRAD HAD A REASON TO KILL LILY?
WHAT DID LILY KNOW ABOUT BRAD?
NOTHING.
LILY KNEW THINGS
ABOUT CLIFF, NOT BRAD.
I'M SURE CLIFF KILLED LILY.
THAT'S WHY HE'S TRYING
TO PUT BLAME ON MY HUSBAND,
AND THAT'S WHY I...
I SHOULDN'T HAVE HIT HIM.
I WAS JUST SO UPSET.
I KNOW.
HEY, LISTEN,
IF YOU LIKE,
I'LL TAKE YOU
TO THE POLICE STATION,
AND YOU CAN JUSTELL THEM WHAT HAPPENED.
OKAY, UM...
I'LL GO GET MY PURSE.
WOULD YOU MIND
GETTING THAT, SHANNON?
WHAT ARE YOU...?
LET'S SAVE THAT FOR LATER.
CLIFF WOKE UP.
IS DENISE HERE?
YEAH, COME ON IN.
EASY, BUDDY.
EASY... WHOA. EASY.
YOU CAN
LEAN ON ME.
NOPE. I'LL BE FINE
RIGHT HERE.
I JUST GOTTA...
WAIT FOR THE WORLD
TO STOP SPINNING.
YOU SHOULD HAVE LET THEM
KEEP YOU AN EYE ON YOU TONIGHLIKE THEY WANTED TO.
TEN YEARS
PLAYING FOOTBALL,
I KNOW HOW TO TAKE
A KNOCK TO THE HEAD.
THANKS FOR THE RIDE.
I... I FOUND YOU.
I FELT RESPONSIBLE
TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE OKAY.
I'LL BE FINE.
BUT WHAT A COWARD BRAD IS,
SENDING HIS WIFE
TO DO HIS DIRTY WORK.
WHY YOU SO SURE
THAT HE SENT HER?
I TOLD YOU I SAW A CAR
THAT NIGHT, RIGHT?
THE LAST NIGHT I SAW LILY?
YEAH.
THREE ROUND TAILLIGHTS,
GLOWING IN THE DARK.
THAT CAR YOU WERE LOOKING AIN YOUR PARKING LOHAD THREE TAILLIGHTS.
SO IT WAS
AN IMPALA THAT NIGHT?
WOW, THAT'S COLD.
YEAH, AT THE TIME,
I THOUGHTHAT WAS SEAN'S CAR,
BUT YOU KNOW WHO DROVE
AN IMPALA IN HIGH SCHOOL?
BRAD'S BROTHER.
I TOLD TOMMY
ALL ABOUT IT.
I SHOULD NEVER HAVE TOLD LILY
WHAT BRAD DID.
WHAT DID BRAD DO?
HELP YOU CHEAON SOME TESTS?
SO YOU COULD CONTINUE
PLAYING FOOTBALL?
I TELL YOU WHAT,
GO ASK BRAD.
SERIOUSLY.
AND THEN, COME BACK
AND TELL ME WHAT HE SAYS.
THANK YOU.
HAVE A GOOD NIGHT.
BRAD?
HEY...
YOU OKAY?
I WAS SUPPOSED TO MEET,
DENISE FOR DINNER.
SHE JUST CALLED,
SHE'S BEEN ARRESTED FOR...
FOR ATTACKING CLIFF HOGARTH.
WHAT?
IT'S ALL CATCHING UP
WITH ME, PETE.
CAN I HELP WITH ANYTHING?
DO YOU WANT ME TO GIVE YOU
A LIFT DOWN TO THE STATION?
NO...
NO, I GOTTA GO.
I GOTTA...
I GOTTA STOP THIS TRAIN
BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.
SHANNON...
WHAT ARE YOU
DOING HERE SO LATE?
YOU KNOW, I FORGOMY TOOLBOX IN THE AUDITORIUM.
I JUST HAVE TO GRAB IT.
OKAY...
JUST MAKE SURE THE DOOR'S LOCKED
BEHIND YOU ON THE WAY OUT.
I WILL.
I'LL BE QUICK, I PROMISE.
OKAY.
AN ATHLETIC DIRECTOR
WITH TEST KEYS.
I'LL PUT THIS BACK.
HEY!
ROTTEN KIDS.
THAT'S IT, THEN.
PROOF THAT BRAD JONES
IS HELPING STUDENTS CHEAT,
AND THAT CLIFF KNOWS.
BECAUSE HE WAS
THE FIRST.
I'M JUST,
I'M SO SHOCKED.
I MEAN, WHY WOULD
BRAD DO THIS?
I GOTTA CALL TOMMY.
WHO'S THAT?
HANG ON.
I'LL GO CHECK.
DAD? WHAT IS IT?
WHAT'S WRONG?
I JUST RAN INTO BRAD.
IT WAS THE STRANGESCONVERSATION.
HE TOLD ME THAT DENISE
HAD JUST BEEN ARRESTED,
AND THEN HE ACTED
LIKE IT WAS HIS FAULT,
AND SAID,
"IT'S ALL CATCHING UP TO ME."
DID HE SAY ANYTHING ELSE?
YEAH, THAT HE HAD
TO STOP THIS TRAIN
BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.
WE NEED TO WARN CLIFF.
CHIEF...
WE CAME TO TALK TO CLIFF.
IS EVERYTHING OKAY?
TOMMY FOUND HIM AN HOUR AGO,
SHOT IN THE CHEST.
HE'S DEAD.
IT DOESN'T SEEM POSSIBLE.
CLIFF HOGARTH DEAD?
YEAH.
I COULDN'T SLEEP LAST NIGHT.
LOOKS LIKE TOMMY
COULDN'T SLEEP EITHER.
HEY.
CHIEF SAID
YOU'D BE COMING BY.
COME ON IN,
HAVE A SEAT.
I THINK WE MIGHT KNOW
WHO KILLED CLIFF.
MAC WAS THE LAST PERSON
TO SEE HIM LAST NIGHT--
WE ALREADY KNOW
WHO KILLED CLIFF.
IT WAS BRAD JONES.
THE JUDGE ALREADY SIGNED
A WARRANT FOR HIS ARREST.
HIS FINGERPRINTS WERE
ALL OVER CLIFF'S FRONT DOOR,
AND APPARENTLY,
HE'S SKIPPED TOWN,
BECAUSE HE'S NOWHERE
TO BE FOUND.
WE WERE
AFRAID OF THIS.
I FOUND HIM, YOU KNOW.
I TOOK OVER
A PHOTOGRAPH OF THE IMPALA
THAT BRAD'S BROTHER OWNED
20 YEARS AGO
TO SEE IF HE COULD IDENTIFY IT,
AND, UM...
THERE WAS
A HALF EMPTY BEER BOTTLE
SITTING ON THE COFFEE TABLE
NEXT TO THIS.
OUR HIGH SCHOOL
YEARBOOK.
YEAH, IT WAS
LYING OPEN
TO PHOTOS
OF HIM AND LILY.
REMINISCING, I GUESS?
BRAD GOES IN AND KILLS CLIFF,
AND THEN TAKES OFF,
WHILE HIS WIFE'S SITTING
IN A JAIL CELL?
I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND IT.
THEN YOU NEED TO SEE
WHAT SHANNON FOUND.
I FOUND THIS
AT THE SCHOOL.
TEST ANSWERS.
OKAY, IS THIS
ALL I NEED TO SIGN?
HEY...
- THANK YOU.
HOW'S SHE DOING?
I THINK THAT SHE'S IN SHOCK, YOU
KNOW?
ONCE SHE'S BAILED OUT,
I'M GONNA TAKE HER HOME
AND STAY WITH HER
TILL HER MOM GETS THERE.
GOOD.
I DON'T BELIEVE
WHAT THEY'RE TELLING ME.
BRAD SHOOTING CLIFF?
HE WOULDN'T DO THAT.
HE'S THE CALM AND STEADY ONE.
HE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A GUN.
I AM SO SORRY.
MAYBE IT WAS
CLIFF'S GUN.
MAYBE CLIFF TRIED
TO SHOOT BRAD,
AND THEN THERE WAS
A STRUGGLE FOR THE GUN.
THAT HAS TO BE IT.
OKAY, OKAY, RIGHT,
BUT YOU KNOW,
RIGHT NOW, DENISE,
LET'S JUSGET YOU HOME.
YEAH.
I NEED TO GO HOME
SO BRAD CAN FIND ME
IF HE NEEDS ME.
YEAH. YEAH.
OKAY.
- OKAY.
THAT IS ONE
TORTURED WOMAN.
I KNOW.
SHE CAN'T EVEN
BRING HERSELF TO BELIEVE
HER HUSBAND'S DONE
ANYTHING WRONG.
WELL, YOU CAN'T ARGUE
WITH THE EVIDENCE.
YEAH.
IT DOES SEEM AIRTIGHT.
THEN WHY THAT LOOK?
DOESN'T IT SEEM TOO EASY?
YOU JUST SPENTHE LAST 24 HOURS
TRYING TO CONVINCE EVERYBODY
IT HAD TO BE BRAD.
I KNOW--
ALL RIGHT, MAC,
LET'S GET THAT STATEMENOUT OF THE WAY?
YEAH.
I'M JUST GONNA SWING BY
THE CRADDOCK HOUSE
TO PICK UP A FEW THINGS.
ALL RIGHT.
OKAY, SO THEN CLIFF SAID
YOU SHOULD ASK BRAD
WHAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT?
YEAH.
HEY, TOMMY,
YOU GOT A MINUTE?
BE RIGHT BACK, MAC.
- SURE.
I JUST TALKED TO AARON WHITE
AT THE HIGH SCHOOL.
NOW, HE ADMITTED
THAT BRAD JONES GAVE HIM
THE ANSWERS TO MATH TESTS
ON THREE DIFFERENOCCASIONS.
SO SHANNON WAS RIGHT.
APPARENTLY.
THERE YOU ARE.
SHANNON HUGHES...
"I JUST FOUND
YOUR YEARBOOK PHOTO."
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
I JUST CAME
FROM CLIFF'S HOUSE.
I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED!
YOU'VE GOTO LEAVE IT BE--
NO! IT'S OVER!
WHAT'S OVER?
IT'S ALL OVER!
EVERYTHING IS OVER!
WE NEED TO COME CLEAN
AND JUST STOP EVERYTHING!
TOMMY!
YOU DON'T GET IT!
OKAY?
THE POLICE ARE
TRYING TO BLAME ME
FOR SOMETHING
I DIDN'T DO!
I COULD GO TO PRISON
FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE!
THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN--
- OR WORSE!
OKAY, I KNOW IT WAS
YOU WHO KILLED CLIFF.
DON'T TRY TO DENY IT.
I TOLD YOU TO SHUT UP!
WAIT. WAIT A MINUTE.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
HEY... STOP.
STOP!
STOP... STOP IT!
HAVE YOU LOSYOUR MIND?
GASOLINE?
BURNING
THIS PLACE DOWN
IS NOT GOING TO MAKE IALL GO AWAY,
DIARY OR NO DIARY!
I SAID SHUT UP.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
STOP...
PLEASE, JUST COME BACK.
HEY. WHOA. HEY.
MR. DEAN!
DON'T MOVE.
DARREN,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
WOULD YOU JUSPUT THE GUN AWAY?
I TOLD YOU TO SHUT UP.
TOMMY?
SOMETHING WRONG?
LOOK AT THIS.
LOOK AT THIS PICTURE.
BRAD JONES
DID NOT KILL LILY.
"MR. DEAN GETS HIS CAR WASHED"?
LOOK AT WHAT CAR IT IS.
BLACK IMPALA.
TAILLIGHTS,
THREE IN A ROW,
JUST LIKE THE ONE
CLIFF SAW THAT NIGHT.
I'LL PUT OUT AN APB
ON DARREN DEAN.
I'VE GOTTA GET TO SHANNON.
WHERE IS SHE?
AT CRADDOCK MANSION.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND,
WHY WERE YOU GIVING
TEST ANSWERS TO STUDENTS
THIS WHOLE TIME?
BECAUSE I TOLD HIM TO.
LOOK, I KNEW IT WAS WRONG,
BUT IT MEANT SO MUCH
TO THE SCHOOL.
SO WHY DID YOU KILL LILY?
I DIDN'T KILL LILY.
I CAME HERE THAT NIGHTO TALK TO HER,
TO MAKE SURE SHE PLANNED
TO KEEP QUIET ABOUT CLIFF.
SHE PANICKED...
...FLUNG HERSELF
AWAY FROM ME.
THE BANISTER BROKE, SHE FELL.
I THOUGHT ABOUGOING TO THE POLICE,
BUT IT WOULDN'T HAVE
BROUGHT HER BACK.
AND WHY DRAG THE SCHOOL
THROUGH THE MUD,
MAKE MY STUDENTS PAY
FOR SOMETHING THAHAPPENED BY ACCIDENT?
I'VE WORKED HARD
TO MAKE UP FOR IT,
TO GIVE THE STUDENTS IN MY CARE
EVERY CHANCE TO SUCCEED,
NO MATTER
WHAT IT TOOK!
YES...
AND I'VE WORKED TOO HARD
TO WATCH IT ALL
GO DOWN THE DRAIN NOW.
YES--
DARREN, NO!
BRAD!
NO!
MIGHT AS WELL--
THE LOCK...
OKAY...
COME ON, SHANNON,
PICK UP THE PHONE.
OKAY...
LET'S GET YOU
TO THE HOSPITAL.
OOH!!
I'M SORRY, I JUST,
I CAN'T PUT ANY WEIGHT ON IT.
I'LL CALL YOU
AN AMBULANCE.
WHERE'S MY PHONE?
I WOULDN'T WORRY
ABOUT THE PHONE!
HEY...
YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS.
LOOK...
YOU SAID IT WAS
AN ACCIDENT.
THE POLICE ARE
GONNA BELIEVE YOU.
WE'LL JUST GO DOWN
TO THE POLICE STATION.
IT'S NOT TOO LATE.
SORRY, SHANNON.
TOLD YOU THESE THINGS
WERE DANGEROUS.
YOU HAVE THE RIGHTO REMAIN SILENT.
ANYTHING YOU SAY
CAN AND WILL

YOU KNOW ONE OF
MY FAVORITE THINGS ABOUT YOU?
WHAT?
YOUR TIMING.
I BROKE TEN
DIFFERENT TRAFFIC LAWS
TO GET HERE.
YOU KNOW, UM...
THE THOUGHT THAT SOMETHING
MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED TO YOU...
I NEVER WANT TO FEEL
THAT WAY AGAIN.
HOW DID YOU FIGURE IT OUT?
I DIDN'T EVEN SUSPECPRINCIPAL DEAN
UNTIL HE LITERALLY GRABBED ME.
A PICTURE,
IN YOUR YEARBOOK.
TURNS OUT PRINCIPAL DEAN
HAD A BLACK IMPALA,
WITH THE THREE TAILLIGHTS.
YOU MUST BE PRETTY PROUD
OF YOURSELF.
I AM.
IT'S FUNNY HOW A WHOLE CASE
CAN BE SOLVED
WITH ONE LITTLE DETAIL.
ONE OF THE DETECTIVES
I INTERVIEWED FOR MY BOOK
SAID THAT.
TOO BAD
SHE'S NOT THE PROTAGONIST.
MAYBE THAT'S IT.
I PICKED THE WRONG PROTAGONIST.
I SHOULD FOLLOW
THE WOMAN DETECTIVE,
THE ONE WITH THE EYE
FOR TELLING DETAIL...
THE ONE THAT REMINDS ME OF YOU.
BRAD,
ARE YOU HERE?
HONEY...
I'M OKAY.
YOU'RE OKAY...
I'M OKAY.
IT'S OVER.
I'M SORRY.
I AM SO SORRY.
HEY...

I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT WANSOME TIME WITH IT.
THANK YOU, SHANNON,
FOR...
FOR THIS.
JUST... FOR EVERYTHING.
OF COURSE.
HEY, STRANGER.

HAVEN'T SEEN YOU
IN A WHILE.
WELL, THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS
WHEN WRITER'S BLOCK GOES AWAY,
CAN'T PRY MYSELF
AWAY FROM MY LAPTOP.
IT'S GOING WELL THEN?
IT IS, BUT I WANTED TO SEE
HOW WORK ON THE HOUSE
WAS GOING,
AND...
THOUGHT YOU MIGHT BE
A LITTLE HUNGRY?
MY NEW FAVORITE
THING ABOUT YOU?
BRINGING ME FOOD.
