Saving Grace s02e12 Episode Script
But There's Clay
- Shit.
Just drink it, will ya? - All right.
All right.
- [Laughs.]
You gotta drink the whole shot.
- You forgot the salt.
[Man.]
Maggie, baby, would you round us up? Yeah.
You got it, boys.
You know, that's Swiss tequila.
You gotta salt your shoulder.
- Right.
Lick your shoulder.
- What? Tequila's from Mexico.
And Switzerland.
The right order is shot, salt, lime.
So lick your shoulder.
Put salt on it.
- I'm not gonna lick my shoulder.
- Okay, then use your hand.
No.
Oh! Grace.
You said you needed to have fun.
Shots of tequila are fun.
So take your shot, or I'm gonna take you home.
[Clears Throat.]
- [Laughing.]
- [Gags.]
- [Coughs.]
- [Laughing.]
See how fun this is? [Rhetta, Grace Laughing.]
- Do I need to follow her with a mop? - [Rhetta.]
No.
- Her sister even pukes neat.
- [Chairs Clattering.]
Hey, I got some chairs in the back with seat belts if y'all need 'em.
[Man, Laughing.]
We're fine.
[Rhetta.]
You gave up life on the road for this? Comes a time a girl's better off pouring booze than hauling it across the country.
I'm gonna miss those sunsets though.
Mmm.
What was the prettiest sunset you ever saw? On the Beeline, just outside Okmulgee.
Came around a bend, just about rode off the road.
It was like God had swirled red paint across a blue sky and then sneezed up a big old gold loogie right in the middle and let it slowly, slowly slip out of sight.
You ever read Jack Kerouac's On the Road? To the mad ones.
- [People Laughing.]
- [Man.]
How about our round? Yeah.
It's comin'.
Doug? What are you doing here? Driving by.
Took a chance you might be here.
Clay keeps going on about this Explorer program.
- How's he doing? - Good.
Good.
Good.
Doug, Maggie.
Maggie, Doug.
- Hey, how you doing? - Good.
I just wanted to be sure.
Okay then.
I gotta go pick up some dinner.
I'll catch you later, Grace.
Rhetta.
- Was that Doug? - Not sure.
All right, boys.
Here you go.
Why don't you give me a sloppy kiss, mama? Hey, hey, hey! That's enough! Twenty cops in here.
You sure you wanna make trouble? Looks like it's gonna be an early night for you boys.
Pay, pay, pay.
Pay the lady first.
- [Grace.]
Big tip.
- Sorry about that, ma'am.
[Man.]
Ma'am.
- [Laughs.]
- [Cell Phone Ringing.]
Seriously, we got a homicide.
We gotta go to Lake Hefner.
You are fibbing, Grace Pauline.
Fib, fib.
You-You big- Fib-You big fibber sinner.
Okay, let go of my hair.
Yeah.
[Rhetta.]
Night, Paige.
That's Doug's truck.
[Paige.]
Whoa.
Stop.
Stop, please.
[Rhetta.]
Is he okay? [Doug Gasping.]
- Oh, shit! Shit! - What? - [Rhetta.]
Oh, my Godl - [Maggie.]
Oh, my God.
[Acoustic Guitar.]
[Man.]
So pretty and, oh, so bold Got a heart full of gold on a lonely road - She said, "I don't even think that God can save me" - Save me Am I gaining ground Am I losing face Have I lost and found my saving grace Thankful for the gift my angels gave me Grace! Wait! - Doug, it's cool, man.
Really.
- Please, five minutes.
- I can-I can explain.
- Forget itl I've been waiting for years to get something on you.
- Maggie and I are dating.
- I'm sorry.
- Shit, I'm sorry, Grace.
- Guys, really.
We met about two months ago.
I'm the one that told her that Louie was looking for a bartender.
You mentioned it last week.
And I asked Maggie not to say anything because, well- because I love her.
Oh! I love you too.
Well, shit.
This calls for champagne, and I gotta go to work.
But I haven't told Clay yet or your brothers or your sister or your mom.
Well, they won't hear it from me.
Well, maybe the blow job.
Oh, God, no! Oh, come on now.
[Siren Blares.]
[Rhetta.]
Two months? Why the big secret? [Grace.]
You know Doug- Mr.
Conservative.
Or he used to be.
Shit.
- You run Maggie yet? - As we speak.
What happened to Gary and Paco? Thought they were on tonight.
Drive-by on Durling, darling.
Had an I.
D.
In her sock.
Vanessa Liman, 19.
- May have been jogging.
Garmin watch on her wrist.
- Been dead two to six hours.
Won't know what the wound on the back of her head is until we roll her over.
No visible exit wound.
The area looks pretty clean except for these.
- [Officers Chattering.]
- [Police Radio Chatter.]
[Sniffs.]
Menthol.
Who found the body? Couple kids came out to watch the submarine races.
Their headlights caught the body when they parked.
Lake Hefner.
Young girl.
I bet you'll be getting a rose tomorrow.
Grace, we finally got him.
The girl killed last night at Lake Hefner.
- It's him.
I know it.
- Let's get some coffee.
You still take two sugars? It's the same as what happened to my Katherine Rose four years ago.
No.
The M.
O.
Is different.
Was she raped? Was she strangled? I can't give you that information, Mr.
Rocha.
You can't or won't? Did you even think of Katherine Rose? May 23, 2005.
Fourteen-year-old girl found washed up near the fishing pier.
Same age as your daughter.
Death ruled an accident.
July 1, 2005.
A 17-year-old girl discovered near Fisherman's Cove.
Overdose.
November 19, 2006.
A 20-year-old girl stabbed near the lighthouse.
Boyfriend's D.
N.
A.
Puts him on death row.
I always think of Katherine Rose.
I know you do.
She turned 18 last week.
How's Mrs.
Rocha? Mornings are still bad.
But this means you reopen our case, right? I don't see a connection.
- But there's always a chance.
- Yes, sir.
A one-in-a-million chance.
I'll call you, okay? If anything- anything looks similar, you will be my first call.
Butch and Bobby are checking out the victim's car.
- Who's that? - The man who brings me a rose every month to remind me I haven't solved his daughter's murder.
I was wondering about those roses.
She'd be a senior in high school getting ready for her prom.
Thanks, man.
You're staring at that thing like it's gonna bite you.
- Your hair wasn't that bad.
- Yeah, it was.
Same friend sent you this yearbook same one that want to see you? Perk of getting killed in two weeks.
They let more people visit.
"Millicent.
" This her? - Yeah.
- Your first love.
We didn't know what the hell we were doin'.
Well, she must care about you an awful lot, reach out like this.
They all get together, talk about their old friend Leon who's on death row.
I don't need that shit.
Well, these memories you're trying so hard to avoid- might be surprised.
Might find some comfort in 'em.
I thought I was supposed to be finding comfort in Allah.
And the gifts of Allah.
- [People Chattering.]
- [Phones Ringing.]
- Hey, Mr.
Explorer.
- Hey.
I have to show you something, but promise you won't get mad.
- Do I need to get you an attorney? - No.
I found these on my dad's desk.
Dad sells oil equipment.
These are jobs available selling oil equipment.
- Are we moving? - Did you ask your dad? - He didn't get home till 3:00.
- This morning? He's been acting like he's drunk.
But I haven't found any booze, and I looked everywhere.
- Your dad's not drunk, Clay.
- He's singing! He never sings.
- He's singing? - Meemaw said he hasn't sung since before my mom died.
- What's going on? - I'll talk to your dad, okay? Okay.
[Woman.]
I sure do.
I have it right here.
Civil disobedience, indecent exposure, impeding highway traffic.
Except for a touch of anarchist, Maggie checks out.
- Say something.
- I like Maggie.
So do I.
I'm not gonna like her if she moves Clay to Iraq.
- You need to talk to Doug.
- He won't call me back.
- This can't be what it looks like.
- He won't call me back.
- I had no choice.
I confiscated their passports.
- How? Key under rock, back door, silverware drawer.
Okay.
Maybe you need to take a breath.
He didn't come home until 3:00 in the morning last night.
- Well, that's not like Doug.
- [Laughs.]
Neither is a blow job in a parking lot.
I thought that was funny.
Iraq? Alaska? Not funny.
I want Doug happy.
Just want him happy in Oklahoma City.
This Iraq business is ridiculous.
So you agree with me.
He should not move in with a woman- He should not go anywhere with a woman he's known two months.
- Hell, yes! - Good! [Cell Phone Ringing.]
Oh, shit.
- Paige.
- For the 20th time.
When's the last time you talked to Vanessa? Yesterday afternoon.
She was going shopping.
- Everything seem okay? - She's been a little quiet lately.
But she was excited yesterday.
She-She got an "A" on her biology test.
What time was this? Well, she didn't wake up until noon, so it was around then.
You know of anyone that would want to harm your daughter, Mr.
Liman? If I knew that, I would not be here.
I would find them and I would kill them, and they would be dead.
[Breathes Deeply.]
How did she die? - [Watch Alarm Beeping.]
- [Ham.]
Vanessa was a freshman at OCU.
Lives with dad.
Good grades, no record.
We found her car about a mile away from her body at Pat Murphy Park.
Cell phone was inside.
It's being dumped.
That parking lot's got a security camera.
Maybe she met someone.
We already got the video.
Check it.
This jogger's watch is cool, man.
It lays out a map of where you've been and what time you were there.
It's like LoJack for your body.
Vanessa started jogging at 4:21 yesterday.
Made two stops-once at 5:04 and again at 5:37.
Get back to Murphy Park.
It looks like she's on the move again at 5:47.
Yep.
6:08.
Twenty-one minutes later, her heart stopped for good.
[Rhetta.]
Cigarettes found near the scene.
Three same brand, menthol, with pink lip gloss.
Four various brands, non-menthol.
Half a joint.
And from the victim's car, her last outgoing text.
It was at 4:00 p.
m.
"Dad, be home late.
Going out with Ginger.
" Change "Ginger" to "Rhetta"- same lie I used to tell my parents.
At least we had to call and lie on the phone.
You had to call and lie over the phone.
- Not everyone can lie with a straight face.
- You can't lie with any face.
[Chuckles.]
I only got busted once.
Okay, maybe twice.
Okay! At least 50 times! - You telegraphed.
- I did not! Mom? Is it okay- [Laughing.]
That's- - Can I spend- I'm gonna- - [Taps Foot.]
I'm gonna spend, um- - [Laughing Continues.]
- [Laughs.]
I wanna spend the night over at Mary Frances's house.
Can I? Okay, maybe a little telegraphing.
[Both Laughing.]
She was going to Penn Square.
Get some kind of fancy jogging watch.
Vanessa say anything about meeting a friend? No.
Oh, wait.
She did, um- She did send me a text.
She said, uh, that she was going over to Ginger's last night.
Maybe they would meet up with Justin.
Will you write down their names.
Uh, how does she know Justin? Ah, it's just somebody she dated for a while.
Not one of my favorites.
Her body was located about 20 feet from the trail.
I jog that path sometimes.
There are joggers everywhere.
- And no one came forward, heard anything? - No.
Maybe she knew the person, went off trail to talk.
Henry thinks that there was a struggle she was pushed backwards, hit her head on the rocks.
She, uh- She died of a broken neck.
No sexual assault.
But there was one surprise.
Justin was, uh- Well, he made her cry a lot more than he made her laugh.
- How long did they date? - It wasn't very long.
Three, maybe four months.
Oh, there was this other kid too.
Uh, Charles something.
L-I don't know.
But find Ginger, talk to her.
She'll know.
- All right, but who's Ginger? - It's Vanessa's best friend.
[Knocking.]
Mr.
Liman, Vanessa was pregnant.
Hey.
I appreciate you coming in.
Let's go talk.
- Uh, no.
- No? - Uh-uh.
- Why not? You have a gun.
We could talk here.
Witnesses.
Just goin' across the hall.
If you scream, people can hear you.
- Did you run me? - Yes.
- So I have a record.
- Hey, Aunt Grace.
- Captain Perry wants to see you.
- Okay.
- Hello.
- Hey.
Excuse me.
- Maggie.
- [Man.]
Line four.
- You and Doug talking about moving out of state? - No.
- Bullshit.
- We were being silly.
We weren't being serious.
What about 3:00 this morning? You being silly then? Clay thought his father was dead, in a car wreck, in the hospital.
We were talking.
We lost track of time.
You've known each other two months, haven't even met his kid - you're talking about moving? - Listen- No.
You listen.
Clay is not moving.
I think you and me need to start over.
Are we clear about this relocation thing? Yes.
It was a bottle of wine and goofing on the Internet.
You don't goof with a kid's life.
Start at the beginning.
I was born in the backwoods of Louisiana.
Folks called me Patches.
At the beginning of you and Doug.
Can we go back to yesterday? You kind of liked me yesterday.
Kinda.
I met Doug at Cattlemen's.
Every time I went through Oklahoma City, I ate at Cattlemen's.
- Lamb fries.
- Mmm, the best.
- Met at Cattlemen's.
- Yeah.
Kinda sparked up right away.
And got back in your semi and hit the road? No, no.
I'd moved here last December just before Christmas.
I didn't meet Doug till February.
So we started dating- dinner, bowling, hunting.
Remember when you took Clay about a month ago for the weekend - and Doug went quail hunting? - With you.
Only we went to Vegas.
[Laughs.]
Why'd you settle in Oklahoma City? You got family here? No.
I've just been in every state in this country and I never met nicer people than right here.
- Ever been married? - No.
- Ever had kids? - No.
I have a dog named Martha.
- You're a tree hugger.
- When I was young.
[Clicks Tongue.]
But I do recycle.
It's about time Doug met someone he's crazy about.
But? But there's Clay.
- Doug needs to talk to him.
- I know.
I gotta get back to work.
You gonna give us a chance? It's all about Clay for me.
Don't want him hurt.
- You understand? - Yes.
Hey, Doug's been making music.
He's actually pretty good.
[Laughing.]
He's singing tonight at Louie's.
Will you come? - We've been talking.
There's a connection.
- It's the same killer.
Mr.
Liman, Mr.
Rocha.
Let's talk in here, okay? [Paige.]
Is this a bad time? [Rocha.]
Grace, his daughter was pregnant.
We have D.
N.
A.
- You didn't say Vanessa was raped.
- She wasn't.
- Same circumstances.
- Similar circumstances.
- You have D.
N.
A? - [Liman.]
Could this be a serial killer? No.
Mr.
Liman, I'm sorry.
These two crimes are not related.
The D.
N.
A.
Could tell us if it's the same guy.
Elton says if you don't get the killer within the first 48 hours, you won't solve it.
- That's not true.
- If you don't solve it, though, it becomes a cold case? Your daughter's case has our full attention, sir.
I promise you.
Let us do our job.
Detective Dewey can fill you in on where we are.
And we are-We are making progress.
Hold on, Mr.
Rocha.
You can't do that.
You can't get his hopes up.
You can't make him doubt us.
Not yet.
We saw each other in the hallway.
We got to talking.
Mr.
Rocha, one day, I'm gonna find the one thing that changes everything.
I'm gonna find her killer, but this is not that day.
- Was that Mr.
Rose? - Who's Mr.
Rose? - Paige, what are you doing here? - Someone has gotta talk to Doug.
I'm calling Johnny.
Yeah.
I'd want to talk to my brother-in-law the priest about getting a blow job.
How long have you and Vanessa been friends? [Crying.]
Since third grade.
I moved here from New Orleans.
I wore a beanie the first day of school.
Vanessa told me to take it off.
- It wasn't cool.
- That's a good friend.
- You go to OCU too? - No.
I, um- I work in my dad's flower shop.
You're doing real good, Ginger.
When's the last time you talked to Vanessa? Yesterday around 3:00.
I met her at Penn Square.
We went shopping.
- Then what? - She was going jogging, and I went home.
- Did you talk after that? - No, sir.
[Bobby.]
We found Vanessa's phone in her car.
Checked her records.
She called your apartment last evening before she hit the trail at 5:05 and 5:38.
[Over Speaker.]
I was taking a nap.
And you live with someone? Each call is a few minutes long.
- My brother.
- [Butch.]
Maybe she talked to him.
Probably.
Vanessa told her father she was going out with you last night.
Or were you her cover? [Butch.]
Ginger, you were best friends, told each other everything.
You knew Vanessa was pregnant.
You know who the father is.
[Bobby.]
MaybeJustin.
Charles.
Was she going to meetJustin last night? Miss Metairie, it's simple.
Here's what you have to decide.
Is keeping Vanessa's secret worth letting her killer go free? She was meeting her biology professor, Aaron Zeyton.
He's not answering his phone or his door.
Nosy neighbor says he hasn't been home all night.
Grace just called in from campus.
Zeyton had office hours listed this morning.
Never showed up.
- Which one was that? - That's Justin.
His boss confirms he was at work the time of the murder.
- Justin know about the pregnancy? - No.
And he gave up his D.
N.
A.
- Said he never had sex with Vanessa.
- What about Charles Beggs? He's been in Enid since Thursday with his debate team.
They're coming back tomorrow.
Aaron Zeyton's Web page.
Professor of Biology, OCU, five years.
Married.
Wife, Tracey- OCU graduate- last year.
- [Kate.]
When did she graduate? - Last year.
- Shit.
- What? - They got a 16-month-old son.
- Okay.
Let's see if his wife was ever his student.
- It looks like a pattern to me.
- They could've met at a stoplight for all we know.
He could also be on the run.
- Got a BOLO on the car? - Yeah.
Contacted airports, bus, trains.
I'm gonna put someone at his house.
Y'all been workin' 36 hours with no sleep.
Go home.
Hit it fresh in the morning.
Your attorney twisted a lot of arms to get me in here.
Think, being locked up all day, you'd want to see a friendly face.
- Is that supposed to be funny? - Yeah.
Why are you here? You writing a book? I went to the reunion last night.
Missy Patterson has a new nose.
And Marcus "Putt-Putt," he drove up in a Jag.
[Laughs.]
Do you believe it's been 20 years? - What happened to your hair? - [Laughs.]
[Chuckling.]
Well- How are you? - Where you livin'? - Atlanta.
- I'm a pediatrician.
- Wow.
That's great, Millicent.
Still single, much to my mother's dismay.
What happened, Leon? I weaved right when I should've bobbed left.
You never could dance.
[Quiet Laugh.]
I left something with the guard.
He said you wouldn't get it, but I think you should petition the court.
Will you do that? Will you talk to your attorney? - [Crowd Chattering.]
- [Jukebox: Blues.]
[Man.]
Take it outside, you guys.
Come on.
- Thank you.
- Doug is so excited that you're here.
Louie gave me the rest of the night off.
Okay if I sit here? So, uh, Doug tells me you two have been friends since the first grade.
Yeah.
Long relationships- they mean a lot.
[Laughing.]
- Hey, you wanna arm wrestle? - Nah.
- Chugging contest? - You'd lose.
- I don't think so.
- I'll get the drafts.
I used to smoke.
How long since you quit? - Six days.
- Doug.
- It's been hell.
- You want me to put this out? Oh.
Mmm.
- Hey, what are we betting? - Ten bucks.
- [Sighs.]
I thought you were gonna say Doug.
- No, man.
We're cool.
- Good.
'Cause I can chug.
- Okay, ladies.
On three.
- Hello! Hello! Excuse me.
- Hi, Paige.
- This is my brother, FatherJohn.
- Johnny.
Nice to meet you.
- Hi.
- On three, Rhetta.
One, two, three! - [Gasps.]
- [Laughing.]
Shit, you're good.
[Burps.]
[Belches.]
Looks like you're gonna fit right in.
Pay up.
- Everybody here? Hey, baby.
- Hey, baby.
Baby! [Laughing.]
- Ooh, money.
- I know.
Listen, honey.
[Whispering.]
[Gasps.]
What did you say? - I said- - What? Are you- - [Crying.]
Yes! Yes! - Oh, come here! - [Doug.]
Hey, come on up.
- Whoo! No, no, no.
I'm playing.
You sit, I play.
[Guitar.]
Oh, no, it can't be night yet But I smell her cigarettes She's got those painted-red toes That's right, boys She's one of those She tells me all her dreams You know, her twisted thoughts and her secret schemes We drink with no regret And pray to a God that we have not met Mmm, I don't know how she knows The smell of the flowers and the kind of the rose Majored in history Got a Ph.
D.
Why she loves me it's a mystery to me Mystery to me Mystery to me Do you plan on getting married in a church? Yes.
And we want you to do the honors.
- You said a couple months? - We have to see how it goes with Clay.
- Paige, you haven't said much.
- I'm still in shock.
- You have to take Pre-Cana.
- I know.
- She knows.
- I know.
I don't understand the attraction.
I'm just being honest.
You're nothing like Mary Frances.
Please make them leave.
You got out at the right time.
Paige is just gettin' started.
She bring up Mary Frances? - You been thinking about her? - Yeah.
How does Doug do this? Clay hasn't even met Maggie.
- Well, he's crazy in love.
- Or just plain crazy.
My sister went to mass every Sunday.
Honor student.
Never smoked.
Drank a little.
Volunteered with the elderly.
And she was still too wild for you.
I can't explain it, Paige.
I just know how I feel.
It caught us both by surprise.
We were just lookin' to have some fun.
- We know you succeeded there.
- [Maggie.]
Third date, I was in love.
- I knew first night at Cattlemen's.
- No! - I just didn't trust it.
- You did not.
What-What-What about Clay? Clay doesn't have to know we're engaged.
- We can just kind of roll this out slow.
- Why start now? - We can just kind of roll this out slow.
- Why start now? - So what you wearin'to the wedding? - I'm thinking black.
You got a problem with Doug's decision, or his choice? Neither, long as they take it slow.
You know you'll always be a part of Clay's life.
- I know.
But it's gonna change.
- Change is good.
- Sometimes.
- [Knocking.]
- What? - We're leaving.
- Good night.
- [Johnny.]
Leaving, Grace.
The three of us have to talk in the morning.
We're not getting together to gossip about this.
- Who's gonna tell Mom? - No one's gonna tell Mom about what you saw in the parking lot.
- Guys, I gotta get some sleep.
- Aren't you worried about this? - I think we oughta support Doug.
- Doug is acting like a teenager.
Get outta herel Gol Come on, Gus.
You're a hard man to reach, Professor.
My wife and I went on a camping trip.
We turned off the cell.
- Trip planned in advance? - No.
We had a rough week and decided to go to Red Rock Canyon.
[Butch.]
Where were you Friday evening between 5:30 and 6:30? I, uh- I worked late.
I was at the office.
You have a twin brother- identical twin brother? 'Cause he was at Pat Murphy Park.
Maybe this will jog your memory.
Pardon the pun.
Oh, shit.
Look, I swear to you guys, she was alive when I left her on this trail.
Let's start over.
You want to start over? You're Vanessa's biology professor.
- You started dating.
- No, we were not dating.
- You got her pregnant.
Same thing happened with your wife.
- No.
Colleagues weren't happy about it, threatened to fire you.
So you tried to keep this one on the D.
L.
Okay.
Look, my wife cannot find out that I met Vanessa.
Are we cool? We cool? Vanessa called, said she needed to talk.
We went jogging, just a few miles.
I left her at 5:45, and she was alive.
She told you she's pregnant.
Only you already have a student wife.
- She told me she was pregnant, but I'm not the father.
- How do you know? Because- We had sex for the first time three weeks ago.
- Will you give us your D.
N.
A? - Yes.
Vanessa wouldn't tell me his name.
But she called him twice.
Holy shit! Ginger's brother is the baby's father? Only way I know for sure is D.
N.
A.
If Vanessa stopped jogging to make those calls, the times match perfectly.
- Let's get him in here.
- What about Ginger? - Her too.
You think she knows? - I don't think she had a clue.
- She thought the professor was daddy.
- I'll fill in the captain.
Did you find a friendship bracelet in Vanessa's things or around the crime scene? - No, why? - Ginger's wearing one.
We stopped wearing ours when we turned 11.
Remember? - Yeah.
You cried.
- I had something in my eye.
- Maggie's prints? - Nothing new.
Uh, she is Maggie C.
Reinwood, just like she says.
I gotta widen my search.
Check Interpol.
[Cell Phone Ringing.]
Doug, you tell him about Maggie? Was he upset? Doug, he just walked in.
I'll call you later.
So, I'm gonna meet Maggie tonight.
You okay with that? - Can we do it at your house? - Sure.
You gotta ask your dad.
You know, he may have other plans.
- They're in love, huh? - Yeah.
What do you think about that? I think it's cool.
- What do you think? - I think it's cool too.
- [Tapping.]
- Earl, what are you doin'? Now wait just a minute.
Keep your eyes closed.
[Tapping Continues.]
Okay.
Open 'em.
Don't get too attached to it.
I promised Toshi I'd have it back to him in an hour.
Are we gonna watch the game? Sorry.
Thought you'd want to see what Millicent left for you.
Or we could just watch the game.
You sure you ain't just a little bit curious? [Chuckles.]
- [Sighs.]
- [Clicks.]
[Millicent.]
Okay, everybody.
[All.]
We love you, Leonl God blessl - To you, Leon.
- [Others.]
Leon! [All Cheering, Applauding.]
- [Chattering.]
- [Man.]
Leon! Yeah, she called.
So what? - [Butch.]
To talk about your baby? - What? No, man.
She called looking for Ginger.
We have a witness heard everything Vanessa said to you, Terrence.
- So stop lying.
- Vanessa wanted you to come meet her.
You said no, hung up on her.
She called you back 13 minutes later.
That time, you said okay, you'll meet her.
Look, I said that to get her off the phone.
Shit, I didn't go anywhere.
I screwed that girl one time.
Just one damn time.
Vanessa never slept with my brother.
We'll be able to match his D.
N.
A.
, Ginger.
- He doesn't even like her.
- Guys can be jerks sometimes.
Even brothers can be jerks.
He's lying.
No.
He's not lying.
- Vanessa would've told me, okay? - [Grace.]
Maybe.
I have a best friend.
I tell her more than anybody.
But sometimes I don't tell her everything.
Maybe Vanessa was afraid you'd get mad at her.
She was sleeping with Professor Zeyton.
He was all she talked about.
I mean, they went jogging together.
He was- She was in love with him, okay? I can smoke? [Quavering Breath.]
You think my brother killed her? It takes about 15 minutes to get from your apartment to Lake Hefner.
So? So you met with Vanessa, wanted her to have an abortion.
- She said no.
- Man, I didn't care what she did.
How I know it's my baby? Look, she gets drunk one night, bangs me.
You know I ain't the only one.
You need someone who can put you at home between 5:30 and 6:30, Terrence.
And don't say your sister.
She was taking a nap.
No, she wasn't.
My sister didn't get home till, like, 7:00.
Ask her.
I was at home playing videos.
Your brother got Vanessa pregnant, but he didn't kill her.
It was Professor Zeyton.
She used to hate biology.
Now it's her favorite subject? He told her she was destined for great things.
- Like you never told her that.
- I told her that since the third grade.
- You didn't like the professor.
- I never met him.
- But you didn't like him.
- I was just worried about her.
- You worry about your best friend, right? - But you don't get jealous.
You've been in love with Vanessa since the third grade.
Everything was cool when you were in school together.
Best friends till the end.
Now she goes to college.
She's meeting new people.
You didn't get to see Vanessa much anymore.
And when you did, she's always talking about the professor.
- And then she shows up pregnant.
- I thought it- - You thought it was the professor's baby.
- What happened? You went to the lake, waited, smoked a few cigs.
She was jogging.
She saw you.
Was she surprised to see you? Did you tell Vanessa how you felt? [Crying.]
I told her we could raise the baby together.
- But she didn't see it coming.
- I was just trying to talk to her.
She wouldn't even let me touch her.
I didn't mean to kill her.
I didn't mean to kill her.
I didn't.
I just was trying to talk to her, and she fell.
[Sobbing.]
I loved her more than anything.
Clay just told me something really upsetting.
- I can explain.
- Why didn't you say something? I choose not to talk about some things to some people.
I find it's best to keep my mouth shut.
- Does Doug know? - Yes.
And it doesn't matter to him.
- Sure as hell matters to me.
And to Clay.
- I know.
I know.
Look, I didn't go to LSU, but my daddy did.
And that's all I ever heard about growing up.
There's pictures of me in little Tiger uniforms from the day I was born.
We go to a bowl game this year, we play LSU-who you gonna root for? Hey, now.
Come on.
Not everybody in the world has to be a Sooner.
- She can root for LSU.
- Clay? - I'd say that's a deal breaker.
- [Gasps.]
I'm kidding! Aunt Grace told me to say that.
You're gonna tell me your second-favorite team's the Longhorns.
[All Laughing.]
Hey, where's Gus? - Here you go.
- Oh, thank you.
- How many meatballs, buddy? - [Maggie.]
Let's talk about the 2004 Sugar Bowl- - You okay, Gussy? - Where we beat you 21-14.
[Continues, Indistinct.]
We making too much noise for you? It's- It's okay.
- [Clay.]
Soonersl - [Doug.]
Soonersl You stay here.
You sleep.
What the hell? Carmine beetles and ant eggs.
You mix 'em up and they make a beautiful red hue.
One of Cleopatra's tricks.
I'll stick to Renaissance Red.
I like that color on you.
So, you knew Cleopatra.
- By way of Mark Antony.
- [Laughs.]
Cleo put feathers in her hair, too, just like you.
Tell you a secret.
Gus is poutin' because Maggie didn't bring Martha.
He's getting old.
He's getting arthritis.
You got some ancient cure for arthritis? Bet I could google it and find something.
[Both Laughing.]
You sure are pretty.
Maggie asked me to be her maid of honor.
[Laughing.]
I can't wait to see you in one of them purple dresses with puffy sleeves.
- So how's it going? - I don't know yet.
Just drink it, will ya? - All right.
All right.
- [Laughs.]
You gotta drink the whole shot.
- You forgot the salt.
[Man.]
Maggie, baby, would you round us up? Yeah.
You got it, boys.
You know, that's Swiss tequila.
You gotta salt your shoulder.
- Right.
Lick your shoulder.
- What? Tequila's from Mexico.
And Switzerland.
The right order is shot, salt, lime.
So lick your shoulder.
Put salt on it.
- I'm not gonna lick my shoulder.
- Okay, then use your hand.
No.
Oh! Grace.
You said you needed to have fun.
Shots of tequila are fun.
So take your shot, or I'm gonna take you home.
[Clears Throat.]
- [Laughing.]
- [Gags.]
- [Coughs.]
- [Laughing.]
See how fun this is? [Rhetta, Grace Laughing.]
- Do I need to follow her with a mop? - [Rhetta.]
No.
- Her sister even pukes neat.
- [Chairs Clattering.]
Hey, I got some chairs in the back with seat belts if y'all need 'em.
[Man, Laughing.]
We're fine.
[Rhetta.]
You gave up life on the road for this? Comes a time a girl's better off pouring booze than hauling it across the country.
I'm gonna miss those sunsets though.
Mmm.
What was the prettiest sunset you ever saw? On the Beeline, just outside Okmulgee.
Came around a bend, just about rode off the road.
It was like God had swirled red paint across a blue sky and then sneezed up a big old gold loogie right in the middle and let it slowly, slowly slip out of sight.
You ever read Jack Kerouac's On the Road? To the mad ones.
- [People Laughing.]
- [Man.]
How about our round? Yeah.
It's comin'.
Doug? What are you doing here? Driving by.
Took a chance you might be here.
Clay keeps going on about this Explorer program.
- How's he doing? - Good.
Good.
Good.
Doug, Maggie.
Maggie, Doug.
- Hey, how you doing? - Good.
I just wanted to be sure.
Okay then.
I gotta go pick up some dinner.
I'll catch you later, Grace.
Rhetta.
- Was that Doug? - Not sure.
All right, boys.
Here you go.
Why don't you give me a sloppy kiss, mama? Hey, hey, hey! That's enough! Twenty cops in here.
You sure you wanna make trouble? Looks like it's gonna be an early night for you boys.
Pay, pay, pay.
Pay the lady first.
- [Grace.]
Big tip.
- Sorry about that, ma'am.
[Man.]
Ma'am.
- [Laughs.]
- [Cell Phone Ringing.]
Seriously, we got a homicide.
We gotta go to Lake Hefner.
You are fibbing, Grace Pauline.
Fib, fib.
You-You big- Fib-You big fibber sinner.
Okay, let go of my hair.
Yeah.
[Rhetta.]
Night, Paige.
That's Doug's truck.
[Paige.]
Whoa.
Stop.
Stop, please.
[Rhetta.]
Is he okay? [Doug Gasping.]
- Oh, shit! Shit! - What? - [Rhetta.]
Oh, my Godl - [Maggie.]
Oh, my God.
[Acoustic Guitar.]
[Man.]
So pretty and, oh, so bold Got a heart full of gold on a lonely road - She said, "I don't even think that God can save me" - Save me Am I gaining ground Am I losing face Have I lost and found my saving grace Thankful for the gift my angels gave me Grace! Wait! - Doug, it's cool, man.
Really.
- Please, five minutes.
- I can-I can explain.
- Forget itl I've been waiting for years to get something on you.
- Maggie and I are dating.
- I'm sorry.
- Shit, I'm sorry, Grace.
- Guys, really.
We met about two months ago.
I'm the one that told her that Louie was looking for a bartender.
You mentioned it last week.
And I asked Maggie not to say anything because, well- because I love her.
Oh! I love you too.
Well, shit.
This calls for champagne, and I gotta go to work.
But I haven't told Clay yet or your brothers or your sister or your mom.
Well, they won't hear it from me.
Well, maybe the blow job.
Oh, God, no! Oh, come on now.
[Siren Blares.]
[Rhetta.]
Two months? Why the big secret? [Grace.]
You know Doug- Mr.
Conservative.
Or he used to be.
Shit.
- You run Maggie yet? - As we speak.
What happened to Gary and Paco? Thought they were on tonight.
Drive-by on Durling, darling.
Had an I.
D.
In her sock.
Vanessa Liman, 19.
- May have been jogging.
Garmin watch on her wrist.
- Been dead two to six hours.
Won't know what the wound on the back of her head is until we roll her over.
No visible exit wound.
The area looks pretty clean except for these.
- [Officers Chattering.]
- [Police Radio Chatter.]
[Sniffs.]
Menthol.
Who found the body? Couple kids came out to watch the submarine races.
Their headlights caught the body when they parked.
Lake Hefner.
Young girl.
I bet you'll be getting a rose tomorrow.
Grace, we finally got him.
The girl killed last night at Lake Hefner.
- It's him.
I know it.
- Let's get some coffee.
You still take two sugars? It's the same as what happened to my Katherine Rose four years ago.
No.
The M.
O.
Is different.
Was she raped? Was she strangled? I can't give you that information, Mr.
Rocha.
You can't or won't? Did you even think of Katherine Rose? May 23, 2005.
Fourteen-year-old girl found washed up near the fishing pier.
Same age as your daughter.
Death ruled an accident.
July 1, 2005.
A 17-year-old girl discovered near Fisherman's Cove.
Overdose.
November 19, 2006.
A 20-year-old girl stabbed near the lighthouse.
Boyfriend's D.
N.
A.
Puts him on death row.
I always think of Katherine Rose.
I know you do.
She turned 18 last week.
How's Mrs.
Rocha? Mornings are still bad.
But this means you reopen our case, right? I don't see a connection.
- But there's always a chance.
- Yes, sir.
A one-in-a-million chance.
I'll call you, okay? If anything- anything looks similar, you will be my first call.
Butch and Bobby are checking out the victim's car.
- Who's that? - The man who brings me a rose every month to remind me I haven't solved his daughter's murder.
I was wondering about those roses.
She'd be a senior in high school getting ready for her prom.
Thanks, man.
You're staring at that thing like it's gonna bite you.
- Your hair wasn't that bad.
- Yeah, it was.
Same friend sent you this yearbook same one that want to see you? Perk of getting killed in two weeks.
They let more people visit.
"Millicent.
" This her? - Yeah.
- Your first love.
We didn't know what the hell we were doin'.
Well, she must care about you an awful lot, reach out like this.
They all get together, talk about their old friend Leon who's on death row.
I don't need that shit.
Well, these memories you're trying so hard to avoid- might be surprised.
Might find some comfort in 'em.
I thought I was supposed to be finding comfort in Allah.
And the gifts of Allah.
- [People Chattering.]
- [Phones Ringing.]
- Hey, Mr.
Explorer.
- Hey.
I have to show you something, but promise you won't get mad.
- Do I need to get you an attorney? - No.
I found these on my dad's desk.
Dad sells oil equipment.
These are jobs available selling oil equipment.
- Are we moving? - Did you ask your dad? - He didn't get home till 3:00.
- This morning? He's been acting like he's drunk.
But I haven't found any booze, and I looked everywhere.
- Your dad's not drunk, Clay.
- He's singing! He never sings.
- He's singing? - Meemaw said he hasn't sung since before my mom died.
- What's going on? - I'll talk to your dad, okay? Okay.
[Woman.]
I sure do.
I have it right here.
Civil disobedience, indecent exposure, impeding highway traffic.
Except for a touch of anarchist, Maggie checks out.
- Say something.
- I like Maggie.
So do I.
I'm not gonna like her if she moves Clay to Iraq.
- You need to talk to Doug.
- He won't call me back.
- This can't be what it looks like.
- He won't call me back.
- I had no choice.
I confiscated their passports.
- How? Key under rock, back door, silverware drawer.
Okay.
Maybe you need to take a breath.
He didn't come home until 3:00 in the morning last night.
- Well, that's not like Doug.
- [Laughs.]
Neither is a blow job in a parking lot.
I thought that was funny.
Iraq? Alaska? Not funny.
I want Doug happy.
Just want him happy in Oklahoma City.
This Iraq business is ridiculous.
So you agree with me.
He should not move in with a woman- He should not go anywhere with a woman he's known two months.
- Hell, yes! - Good! [Cell Phone Ringing.]
Oh, shit.
- Paige.
- For the 20th time.
When's the last time you talked to Vanessa? Yesterday afternoon.
She was going shopping.
- Everything seem okay? - She's been a little quiet lately.
But she was excited yesterday.
She-She got an "A" on her biology test.
What time was this? Well, she didn't wake up until noon, so it was around then.
You know of anyone that would want to harm your daughter, Mr.
Liman? If I knew that, I would not be here.
I would find them and I would kill them, and they would be dead.
[Breathes Deeply.]
How did she die? - [Watch Alarm Beeping.]
- [Ham.]
Vanessa was a freshman at OCU.
Lives with dad.
Good grades, no record.
We found her car about a mile away from her body at Pat Murphy Park.
Cell phone was inside.
It's being dumped.
That parking lot's got a security camera.
Maybe she met someone.
We already got the video.
Check it.
This jogger's watch is cool, man.
It lays out a map of where you've been and what time you were there.
It's like LoJack for your body.
Vanessa started jogging at 4:21 yesterday.
Made two stops-once at 5:04 and again at 5:37.
Get back to Murphy Park.
It looks like she's on the move again at 5:47.
Yep.
6:08.
Twenty-one minutes later, her heart stopped for good.
[Rhetta.]
Cigarettes found near the scene.
Three same brand, menthol, with pink lip gloss.
Four various brands, non-menthol.
Half a joint.
And from the victim's car, her last outgoing text.
It was at 4:00 p.
m.
"Dad, be home late.
Going out with Ginger.
" Change "Ginger" to "Rhetta"- same lie I used to tell my parents.
At least we had to call and lie on the phone.
You had to call and lie over the phone.
- Not everyone can lie with a straight face.
- You can't lie with any face.
[Chuckles.]
I only got busted once.
Okay, maybe twice.
Okay! At least 50 times! - You telegraphed.
- I did not! Mom? Is it okay- [Laughing.]
That's- - Can I spend- I'm gonna- - [Taps Foot.]
I'm gonna spend, um- - [Laughing Continues.]
- [Laughs.]
I wanna spend the night over at Mary Frances's house.
Can I? Okay, maybe a little telegraphing.
[Both Laughing.]
She was going to Penn Square.
Get some kind of fancy jogging watch.
Vanessa say anything about meeting a friend? No.
Oh, wait.
She did, um- She did send me a text.
She said, uh, that she was going over to Ginger's last night.
Maybe they would meet up with Justin.
Will you write down their names.
Uh, how does she know Justin? Ah, it's just somebody she dated for a while.
Not one of my favorites.
Her body was located about 20 feet from the trail.
I jog that path sometimes.
There are joggers everywhere.
- And no one came forward, heard anything? - No.
Maybe she knew the person, went off trail to talk.
Henry thinks that there was a struggle she was pushed backwards, hit her head on the rocks.
She, uh- She died of a broken neck.
No sexual assault.
But there was one surprise.
Justin was, uh- Well, he made her cry a lot more than he made her laugh.
- How long did they date? - It wasn't very long.
Three, maybe four months.
Oh, there was this other kid too.
Uh, Charles something.
L-I don't know.
But find Ginger, talk to her.
She'll know.
- All right, but who's Ginger? - It's Vanessa's best friend.
[Knocking.]
Mr.
Liman, Vanessa was pregnant.
Hey.
I appreciate you coming in.
Let's go talk.
- Uh, no.
- No? - Uh-uh.
- Why not? You have a gun.
We could talk here.
Witnesses.
Just goin' across the hall.
If you scream, people can hear you.
- Did you run me? - Yes.
- So I have a record.
- Hey, Aunt Grace.
- Captain Perry wants to see you.
- Okay.
- Hello.
- Hey.
Excuse me.
- Maggie.
- [Man.]
Line four.
- You and Doug talking about moving out of state? - No.
- Bullshit.
- We were being silly.
We weren't being serious.
What about 3:00 this morning? You being silly then? Clay thought his father was dead, in a car wreck, in the hospital.
We were talking.
We lost track of time.
You've known each other two months, haven't even met his kid - you're talking about moving? - Listen- No.
You listen.
Clay is not moving.
I think you and me need to start over.
Are we clear about this relocation thing? Yes.
It was a bottle of wine and goofing on the Internet.
You don't goof with a kid's life.
Start at the beginning.
I was born in the backwoods of Louisiana.
Folks called me Patches.
At the beginning of you and Doug.
Can we go back to yesterday? You kind of liked me yesterday.
Kinda.
I met Doug at Cattlemen's.
Every time I went through Oklahoma City, I ate at Cattlemen's.
- Lamb fries.
- Mmm, the best.
- Met at Cattlemen's.
- Yeah.
Kinda sparked up right away.
And got back in your semi and hit the road? No, no.
I'd moved here last December just before Christmas.
I didn't meet Doug till February.
So we started dating- dinner, bowling, hunting.
Remember when you took Clay about a month ago for the weekend - and Doug went quail hunting? - With you.
Only we went to Vegas.
[Laughs.]
Why'd you settle in Oklahoma City? You got family here? No.
I've just been in every state in this country and I never met nicer people than right here.
- Ever been married? - No.
- Ever had kids? - No.
I have a dog named Martha.
- You're a tree hugger.
- When I was young.
[Clicks Tongue.]
But I do recycle.
It's about time Doug met someone he's crazy about.
But? But there's Clay.
- Doug needs to talk to him.
- I know.
I gotta get back to work.
You gonna give us a chance? It's all about Clay for me.
Don't want him hurt.
- You understand? - Yes.
Hey, Doug's been making music.
He's actually pretty good.
[Laughing.]
He's singing tonight at Louie's.
Will you come? - We've been talking.
There's a connection.
- It's the same killer.
Mr.
Liman, Mr.
Rocha.
Let's talk in here, okay? [Paige.]
Is this a bad time? [Rocha.]
Grace, his daughter was pregnant.
We have D.
N.
A.
- You didn't say Vanessa was raped.
- She wasn't.
- Same circumstances.
- Similar circumstances.
- You have D.
N.
A? - [Liman.]
Could this be a serial killer? No.
Mr.
Liman, I'm sorry.
These two crimes are not related.
The D.
N.
A.
Could tell us if it's the same guy.
Elton says if you don't get the killer within the first 48 hours, you won't solve it.
- That's not true.
- If you don't solve it, though, it becomes a cold case? Your daughter's case has our full attention, sir.
I promise you.
Let us do our job.
Detective Dewey can fill you in on where we are.
And we are-We are making progress.
Hold on, Mr.
Rocha.
You can't do that.
You can't get his hopes up.
You can't make him doubt us.
Not yet.
We saw each other in the hallway.
We got to talking.
Mr.
Rocha, one day, I'm gonna find the one thing that changes everything.
I'm gonna find her killer, but this is not that day.
- Was that Mr.
Rose? - Who's Mr.
Rose? - Paige, what are you doing here? - Someone has gotta talk to Doug.
I'm calling Johnny.
Yeah.
I'd want to talk to my brother-in-law the priest about getting a blow job.
How long have you and Vanessa been friends? [Crying.]
Since third grade.
I moved here from New Orleans.
I wore a beanie the first day of school.
Vanessa told me to take it off.
- It wasn't cool.
- That's a good friend.
- You go to OCU too? - No.
I, um- I work in my dad's flower shop.
You're doing real good, Ginger.
When's the last time you talked to Vanessa? Yesterday around 3:00.
I met her at Penn Square.
We went shopping.
- Then what? - She was going jogging, and I went home.
- Did you talk after that? - No, sir.
[Bobby.]
We found Vanessa's phone in her car.
Checked her records.
She called your apartment last evening before she hit the trail at 5:05 and 5:38.
[Over Speaker.]
I was taking a nap.
And you live with someone? Each call is a few minutes long.
- My brother.
- [Butch.]
Maybe she talked to him.
Probably.
Vanessa told her father she was going out with you last night.
Or were you her cover? [Butch.]
Ginger, you were best friends, told each other everything.
You knew Vanessa was pregnant.
You know who the father is.
[Bobby.]
MaybeJustin.
Charles.
Was she going to meetJustin last night? Miss Metairie, it's simple.
Here's what you have to decide.
Is keeping Vanessa's secret worth letting her killer go free? She was meeting her biology professor, Aaron Zeyton.
He's not answering his phone or his door.
Nosy neighbor says he hasn't been home all night.
Grace just called in from campus.
Zeyton had office hours listed this morning.
Never showed up.
- Which one was that? - That's Justin.
His boss confirms he was at work the time of the murder.
- Justin know about the pregnancy? - No.
And he gave up his D.
N.
A.
- Said he never had sex with Vanessa.
- What about Charles Beggs? He's been in Enid since Thursday with his debate team.
They're coming back tomorrow.
Aaron Zeyton's Web page.
Professor of Biology, OCU, five years.
Married.
Wife, Tracey- OCU graduate- last year.
- [Kate.]
When did she graduate? - Last year.
- Shit.
- What? - They got a 16-month-old son.
- Okay.
Let's see if his wife was ever his student.
- It looks like a pattern to me.
- They could've met at a stoplight for all we know.
He could also be on the run.
- Got a BOLO on the car? - Yeah.
Contacted airports, bus, trains.
I'm gonna put someone at his house.
Y'all been workin' 36 hours with no sleep.
Go home.
Hit it fresh in the morning.
Your attorney twisted a lot of arms to get me in here.
Think, being locked up all day, you'd want to see a friendly face.
- Is that supposed to be funny? - Yeah.
Why are you here? You writing a book? I went to the reunion last night.
Missy Patterson has a new nose.
And Marcus "Putt-Putt," he drove up in a Jag.
[Laughs.]
Do you believe it's been 20 years? - What happened to your hair? - [Laughs.]
[Chuckling.]
Well- How are you? - Where you livin'? - Atlanta.
- I'm a pediatrician.
- Wow.
That's great, Millicent.
Still single, much to my mother's dismay.
What happened, Leon? I weaved right when I should've bobbed left.
You never could dance.
[Quiet Laugh.]
I left something with the guard.
He said you wouldn't get it, but I think you should petition the court.
Will you do that? Will you talk to your attorney? - [Crowd Chattering.]
- [Jukebox: Blues.]
[Man.]
Take it outside, you guys.
Come on.
- Thank you.
- Doug is so excited that you're here.
Louie gave me the rest of the night off.
Okay if I sit here? So, uh, Doug tells me you two have been friends since the first grade.
Yeah.
Long relationships- they mean a lot.
[Laughing.]
- Hey, you wanna arm wrestle? - Nah.
- Chugging contest? - You'd lose.
- I don't think so.
- I'll get the drafts.
I used to smoke.
How long since you quit? - Six days.
- Doug.
- It's been hell.
- You want me to put this out? Oh.
Mmm.
- Hey, what are we betting? - Ten bucks.
- [Sighs.]
I thought you were gonna say Doug.
- No, man.
We're cool.
- Good.
'Cause I can chug.
- Okay, ladies.
On three.
- Hello! Hello! Excuse me.
- Hi, Paige.
- This is my brother, FatherJohn.
- Johnny.
Nice to meet you.
- Hi.
- On three, Rhetta.
One, two, three! - [Gasps.]
- [Laughing.]
Shit, you're good.
[Burps.]
[Belches.]
Looks like you're gonna fit right in.
Pay up.
- Everybody here? Hey, baby.
- Hey, baby.
Baby! [Laughing.]
- Ooh, money.
- I know.
Listen, honey.
[Whispering.]
[Gasps.]
What did you say? - I said- - What? Are you- - [Crying.]
Yes! Yes! - Oh, come here! - [Doug.]
Hey, come on up.
- Whoo! No, no, no.
I'm playing.
You sit, I play.
[Guitar.]
Oh, no, it can't be night yet But I smell her cigarettes She's got those painted-red toes That's right, boys She's one of those She tells me all her dreams You know, her twisted thoughts and her secret schemes We drink with no regret And pray to a God that we have not met Mmm, I don't know how she knows The smell of the flowers and the kind of the rose Majored in history Got a Ph.
D.
Why she loves me it's a mystery to me Mystery to me Mystery to me Do you plan on getting married in a church? Yes.
And we want you to do the honors.
- You said a couple months? - We have to see how it goes with Clay.
- Paige, you haven't said much.
- I'm still in shock.
- You have to take Pre-Cana.
- I know.
- She knows.
- I know.
I don't understand the attraction.
I'm just being honest.
You're nothing like Mary Frances.
Please make them leave.
You got out at the right time.
Paige is just gettin' started.
She bring up Mary Frances? - You been thinking about her? - Yeah.
How does Doug do this? Clay hasn't even met Maggie.
- Well, he's crazy in love.
- Or just plain crazy.
My sister went to mass every Sunday.
Honor student.
Never smoked.
Drank a little.
Volunteered with the elderly.
And she was still too wild for you.
I can't explain it, Paige.
I just know how I feel.
It caught us both by surprise.
We were just lookin' to have some fun.
- We know you succeeded there.
- [Maggie.]
Third date, I was in love.
- I knew first night at Cattlemen's.
- No! - I just didn't trust it.
- You did not.
What-What-What about Clay? Clay doesn't have to know we're engaged.
- We can just kind of roll this out slow.
- Why start now? - We can just kind of roll this out slow.
- Why start now? - So what you wearin'to the wedding? - I'm thinking black.
You got a problem with Doug's decision, or his choice? Neither, long as they take it slow.
You know you'll always be a part of Clay's life.
- I know.
But it's gonna change.
- Change is good.
- Sometimes.
- [Knocking.]
- What? - We're leaving.
- Good night.
- [Johnny.]
Leaving, Grace.
The three of us have to talk in the morning.
We're not getting together to gossip about this.
- Who's gonna tell Mom? - No one's gonna tell Mom about what you saw in the parking lot.
- Guys, I gotta get some sleep.
- Aren't you worried about this? - I think we oughta support Doug.
- Doug is acting like a teenager.
Get outta herel Gol Come on, Gus.
You're a hard man to reach, Professor.
My wife and I went on a camping trip.
We turned off the cell.
- Trip planned in advance? - No.
We had a rough week and decided to go to Red Rock Canyon.
[Butch.]
Where were you Friday evening between 5:30 and 6:30? I, uh- I worked late.
I was at the office.
You have a twin brother- identical twin brother? 'Cause he was at Pat Murphy Park.
Maybe this will jog your memory.
Pardon the pun.
Oh, shit.
Look, I swear to you guys, she was alive when I left her on this trail.
Let's start over.
You want to start over? You're Vanessa's biology professor.
- You started dating.
- No, we were not dating.
- You got her pregnant.
Same thing happened with your wife.
- No.
Colleagues weren't happy about it, threatened to fire you.
So you tried to keep this one on the D.
L.
Okay.
Look, my wife cannot find out that I met Vanessa.
Are we cool? We cool? Vanessa called, said she needed to talk.
We went jogging, just a few miles.
I left her at 5:45, and she was alive.
She told you she's pregnant.
Only you already have a student wife.
- She told me she was pregnant, but I'm not the father.
- How do you know? Because- We had sex for the first time three weeks ago.
- Will you give us your D.
N.
A? - Yes.
Vanessa wouldn't tell me his name.
But she called him twice.
Holy shit! Ginger's brother is the baby's father? Only way I know for sure is D.
N.
A.
If Vanessa stopped jogging to make those calls, the times match perfectly.
- Let's get him in here.
- What about Ginger? - Her too.
You think she knows? - I don't think she had a clue.
- She thought the professor was daddy.
- I'll fill in the captain.
Did you find a friendship bracelet in Vanessa's things or around the crime scene? - No, why? - Ginger's wearing one.
We stopped wearing ours when we turned 11.
Remember? - Yeah.
You cried.
- I had something in my eye.
- Maggie's prints? - Nothing new.
Uh, she is Maggie C.
Reinwood, just like she says.
I gotta widen my search.
Check Interpol.
[Cell Phone Ringing.]
Doug, you tell him about Maggie? Was he upset? Doug, he just walked in.
I'll call you later.
So, I'm gonna meet Maggie tonight.
You okay with that? - Can we do it at your house? - Sure.
You gotta ask your dad.
You know, he may have other plans.
- They're in love, huh? - Yeah.
What do you think about that? I think it's cool.
- What do you think? - I think it's cool too.
- [Tapping.]
- Earl, what are you doin'? Now wait just a minute.
Keep your eyes closed.
[Tapping Continues.]
Okay.
Open 'em.
Don't get too attached to it.
I promised Toshi I'd have it back to him in an hour.
Are we gonna watch the game? Sorry.
Thought you'd want to see what Millicent left for you.
Or we could just watch the game.
You sure you ain't just a little bit curious? [Chuckles.]
- [Sighs.]
- [Clicks.]
[Millicent.]
Okay, everybody.
[All.]
We love you, Leonl God blessl - To you, Leon.
- [Others.]
Leon! [All Cheering, Applauding.]
- [Chattering.]
- [Man.]
Leon! Yeah, she called.
So what? - [Butch.]
To talk about your baby? - What? No, man.
She called looking for Ginger.
We have a witness heard everything Vanessa said to you, Terrence.
- So stop lying.
- Vanessa wanted you to come meet her.
You said no, hung up on her.
She called you back 13 minutes later.
That time, you said okay, you'll meet her.
Look, I said that to get her off the phone.
Shit, I didn't go anywhere.
I screwed that girl one time.
Just one damn time.
Vanessa never slept with my brother.
We'll be able to match his D.
N.
A.
, Ginger.
- He doesn't even like her.
- Guys can be jerks sometimes.
Even brothers can be jerks.
He's lying.
No.
He's not lying.
- Vanessa would've told me, okay? - [Grace.]
Maybe.
I have a best friend.
I tell her more than anybody.
But sometimes I don't tell her everything.
Maybe Vanessa was afraid you'd get mad at her.
She was sleeping with Professor Zeyton.
He was all she talked about.
I mean, they went jogging together.
He was- She was in love with him, okay? I can smoke? [Quavering Breath.]
You think my brother killed her? It takes about 15 minutes to get from your apartment to Lake Hefner.
So? So you met with Vanessa, wanted her to have an abortion.
- She said no.
- Man, I didn't care what she did.
How I know it's my baby? Look, she gets drunk one night, bangs me.
You know I ain't the only one.
You need someone who can put you at home between 5:30 and 6:30, Terrence.
And don't say your sister.
She was taking a nap.
No, she wasn't.
My sister didn't get home till, like, 7:00.
Ask her.
I was at home playing videos.
Your brother got Vanessa pregnant, but he didn't kill her.
It was Professor Zeyton.
She used to hate biology.
Now it's her favorite subject? He told her she was destined for great things.
- Like you never told her that.
- I told her that since the third grade.
- You didn't like the professor.
- I never met him.
- But you didn't like him.
- I was just worried about her.
- You worry about your best friend, right? - But you don't get jealous.
You've been in love with Vanessa since the third grade.
Everything was cool when you were in school together.
Best friends till the end.
Now she goes to college.
She's meeting new people.
You didn't get to see Vanessa much anymore.
And when you did, she's always talking about the professor.
- And then she shows up pregnant.
- I thought it- - You thought it was the professor's baby.
- What happened? You went to the lake, waited, smoked a few cigs.
She was jogging.
She saw you.
Was she surprised to see you? Did you tell Vanessa how you felt? [Crying.]
I told her we could raise the baby together.
- But she didn't see it coming.
- I was just trying to talk to her.
She wouldn't even let me touch her.
I didn't mean to kill her.
I didn't mean to kill her.
I didn't.
I just was trying to talk to her, and she fell.
[Sobbing.]
I loved her more than anything.
Clay just told me something really upsetting.
- I can explain.
- Why didn't you say something? I choose not to talk about some things to some people.
I find it's best to keep my mouth shut.
- Does Doug know? - Yes.
And it doesn't matter to him.
- Sure as hell matters to me.
And to Clay.
- I know.
I know.
Look, I didn't go to LSU, but my daddy did.
And that's all I ever heard about growing up.
There's pictures of me in little Tiger uniforms from the day I was born.
We go to a bowl game this year, we play LSU-who you gonna root for? Hey, now.
Come on.
Not everybody in the world has to be a Sooner.
- She can root for LSU.
- Clay? - I'd say that's a deal breaker.
- [Gasps.]
I'm kidding! Aunt Grace told me to say that.
You're gonna tell me your second-favorite team's the Longhorns.
[All Laughing.]
Hey, where's Gus? - Here you go.
- Oh, thank you.
- How many meatballs, buddy? - [Maggie.]
Let's talk about the 2004 Sugar Bowl- - You okay, Gussy? - Where we beat you 21-14.
[Continues, Indistinct.]
We making too much noise for you? It's- It's okay.
- [Clay.]
Soonersl - [Doug.]
Soonersl You stay here.
You sleep.
What the hell? Carmine beetles and ant eggs.
You mix 'em up and they make a beautiful red hue.
One of Cleopatra's tricks.
I'll stick to Renaissance Red.
I like that color on you.
So, you knew Cleopatra.
- By way of Mark Antony.
- [Laughs.]
Cleo put feathers in her hair, too, just like you.
Tell you a secret.
Gus is poutin' because Maggie didn't bring Martha.
He's getting old.
He's getting arthritis.
You got some ancient cure for arthritis? Bet I could google it and find something.
[Both Laughing.]
You sure are pretty.
Maggie asked me to be her maid of honor.
[Laughing.]
I can't wait to see you in one of them purple dresses with puffy sleeves.
- So how's it going? - I don't know yet.
