MAN: In the words of William Shakespeare,
"All that live must die,
passing, through nature into eternity."
My sister Jenny will live in our hearts forever.
Jenny wanted...
white roses for our wedding.
We would have been married two weeks from today.
I'm so sorry.
[ sobbing in background ]
[ car horn honks ]
[ buzz ]
Oh! They're beautiful.
Now, let's see how it fits.
It's a little loose.
Hold on.
Let's try this.
Mmm.
That's much better, isn't it?
Mm-hmm.
[ buzz ]
Darling, the rings are perfect!
Hi.
Hello.
They're great! Really great!
Thank you.
Now, if you come back at 6:00,
I will have Carmen's ring ready then.
Thank you so much. We'll see you later.
I'm so glad that you're pleased with them.
I designed them just for you.
There's only one of a kind.
[ tape rewinding ]
[ beep ]
Hi, Paul. It's Deena Reuschel.
Don't forget-- 12:30, Il Giardino.
I'm so excited. I've been wanting to meet you for years,
and Tim will be so happy.
[ rewinding ]
I'm so excited. I've--
[ rewinding ]
I'm so excited. I've--
[ laughter ]
A secret?
No. I have a secret, and I'm not going to tell.
Wait a second. How do you know?
Come on. Tell.
Uh-uh.
Sir, may I help you?
It's all right. I see them.
[ laughter ]
Paul! I can't believe it.
If this is the secret, it couldn't be better.
I've missed you.
Me, too. And I didn't realize how much until now.
Happy birthday.
Thank you. This is Deena.
Paul. Finally. I've been wanting to meet you for years.
And I you, Deena.
Bet you don't know who I am.
You're Jon, right?
How would you know?
Well, I saw your picture on a Christmas card--
a lot of them, as a matter of fact,
starting from when you were about this little.
I was never that little.
You were almost.
Is that Daddy's friend, too?
I was hoping it would be you.
Happy birthday, old friend.
Thank you.
Martin?
Is that you?
Same old same old, only older.
Aren't we all?
This is Deena.
Thanks for asking me.
Oh, it's my pleasure.
Nice meeting you.
You, too.
And you must be Jon.
Did you see my picture
on the Christmas card, too?
That's right.
Smart boy.
Very. And sweet, too.
Jon Reuschel, you're my heart's delight.
MAN: Champagne, Senora?
Yes, thank you.
You look pretty, Mommy.
You're messing up my dress.
Come on, kiddo. Let's go.
I'm sorry.
It took me a little longer than I thought.
Now, you be good.
So, Paul, I finally get to thank you.
Uh, for what? I haven't done anything yet.
For our wedding bands.
They're exquisite.
Well, thank you very much.
I'm glad you like them.
I designed them especially for the two of you.
There's only one of a kind.
Tim was telling me.
Thank you for caring so much.
Guess where we're going tomorrow.
I give up.
To the lake.
Uh, Cold Lake?
And then we're going down the river on a raft.
Uh, I haven't been there since--
I wanted to show Jon the old house and--
and we haven't been on vacation in a long time.
Well, that's wonderful.
I'm heading up there myself.
I have to see my father.
He's not feeling very well.
And if you guys would like,
I can, um, stop by and say hi.
Oh, we'd love that.
OK. Now, a toast.
To Tim,
who has everything a man could possibly wish for.
[ door buzzes ]
Hello.
I'm sorry I'm late.
There was so much traffic.
I was sure you'd be gone.
Well, some things you wait for.
Here you go.
Thank you.
Where's Tony?
Oh, he tried to make it,
but he had a late meeting.
You know, he has so many meetings.
Then he must be very successful.
I wish.
Maybe someday.
Shall we check to see if the rings fits?
Perfect.
I have a check for you.
Thank you.
I hope you will be very happy.
We will be.
Tony.
Tony?
Oh, damn.
[ thunder rumbling ]
Paul. Finally. I've been wanting to meet you.
I've been wanting to meet you for years.
You know I'm going to be at the lake.
I'd love for you to stop be and visit me.
You will, won't you?
I really want you to.
[ loon calling ]
This is it.
DEENA: It's perfect.
I didn't realize it was right on the water.
Jon-- only up to the dock.
Don't go out onto it.
Aw, Mom!
It's that or stay here.
What is it?
It's just strange being back here
after all this time.
I haven't been back since Jenny's funeral.
I'm sorry. I shouldn't have insisted that we come.
No, no. It's all right. Really.
It just was a hard time.
Mmm.
After Jenny drowned,
Martin completely fell apart.
She was his baby sister,
and he absolutely adored her.
And Paul?
Never mentioned her again.
And you lost the girl that you loved.
And I didn't get over it
for a long time,
until I met you.
Aw.
Dad?
What is it?
[ coughing ]
What do you want?
It's nice to see you, too.
You plan on staying here long?
If you don't mind.
I'll just go upstairs and unpack.
[ thunder rumbling ]
Mommy. Mommy, I'm scared.
Go back to bed.
No.
Come on. I'll get you back into bed.
No, you won't. You go back to your room.
No.
Paul, do as your father says.
Now, listen to me...
Listen to me, Paul.
Don't you be such a little rat.
No! No! No!
Don't forget the milk, please!
PAUL: Deena?
Oh, how weird! I was just thinking about you.
You were?
Good thoughts, I hope.
Very.
Actually, I was hoping you meant it
when you said you'd be coming up here.
Probably for a while.
My fahter won't admit it,
but he'd glad to have someone around.
And I'm glad, too.
And I know Tim will be.
I think he's having a hard time being back here.
He'll be OK,
and he's very lucky to have found you.
Oh, no. I'm the lucky one.
Trust me. He's the lucky one.
That's sweet.
Would you come over
for dinner tomorrow night?
We should be back from the rafting trip
by 4:00 at the latest.
Are you sure you won't be tired?
Oh, no, please.
We'll have a really nice evening.
OK.
Bye.
Success.
He's out like a light.
I love him being in my old room,
playing with my old toys.
Oh!
You were some cute kid!
"Were" is the operative term.
Oh!
Oh.
Is that Jenny?
Yeah.
She's quite lovely.
You OK?
Absolutely.
The four of you really loved each other, didn't you?
We formed a magic circle, the four of us.
After Jenny died,
the circle sort of fell apart.
We couldn't bear to be around each other.
I'm glad we came back here.
It's given me a chance
to put it all to rest.
Finally.
That's good.
[ suitcase falls ]
Come on, Dad. Come on.
Aah!
Mom, watch out.
Whoa!
Ha ha ha!
Watch out!
Oh, what fun!
JON: That was fun.
Oh, that was great!
Oh, time for a break?
Dad, I'm hungry. I'm really hungry.
Can we eat now?
Keep your shirt on.
We'll be in Potter's Cove in 20 minutes.
OK, how about some pictures?
Here we go.
Everybody smile.
Say cheese.
Smile.
[ bird cawing ]
Wow! It's really beautiful here.
Oh, I love it here.
How about a couple more?
There we go.
OK.
DEENA: You done, Jon?
Let me have your plate.
This is great.
Come on, buddy. Nature calls.
Come on.
Mommy! Mommy! Guess what!
Guess what! I saw two deer,
a mommy deer and a baby deer!
Two?
They were beautiful, and we were close, weren't we, buddy?
Really?
Downriver about a quarter of a mile,
there's a bluff.
I want to see what shape the rapids are in.
OK. Jon and I will finish up here.
Come back.
Ugh!
You!
[ gasps ]
[ bell ringing softly ]
[ ringing continues ]
[ ringing ]
Mom, for heaven's sake. Give me a break.
Uhn...
You've got to stop ringing this bell every two minutes.
What? What?
There is nothing out there.
OK. All right.
[ ringing ]
Mom.
WOMAN: John, give us a hand.
Sure. There we go.
[ ambulance radio ]
[ helicopter ]
Over this way.
Right there.
Down.
You cold, son?
No.
Is my dad here?
No. No, he's... not.
What is my mother doing?
She's not going away, Jon.
She'll be here soon.
[ ambulance radio ]
All right. Let's get out of here.
Can I have a minute, please?
[ door closes ]
Drive you home?
Um, not right this minute.
Jon, um...
Why are you crying?
You're hurting me.
Where's Daddy?
Somehow he fell in the river,
and...
he died.
Died? Like Alice and Lucas' father?
Mm-hmm.
[ knock on door ]
Paul.
I hope you like red wine.
What?
It's for dinner.
Dinner. Oh, God.
Paul, um...
this afternoon, Tim, uh...
he, uh...
What happened?
He drowned.
What?
Oh, Deena, I'm sorry. I...
I had no idea.
I wasn't in town all day.
Tell me what happened.
It's a blur. It's...
they say that he feel, but even if he did,
he was a really good swimmer.
I... I don't know.
Maybe he had a heart attack.
Mommy! Mommy!
Jon.
Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!
I'm right here. I'm right here.
Where's my daddy? I want my daddy!
Maybe you better just go.
Let me stay. Um... I can help.
I can, uh... hold him.
No, thank you. He needs to be with me.
It's OK.
Um, would you mind letting yourself out?
OK, come on. Let's go inside.
[ voices whispering ]
Hi there.
Oh, uh, Birdy wants a review
of the Frasier book now.
Mart, where is that place
you used to go for the summers?
Uh, Cold Lake. Why?
Well, some guy who used to live there,
an architect named Timothy Reuschel,
went river rafting yesterday
and drowned there.
Did you know him?
Yes.
[ telephone rings ]
[ ring ]
Hello.
It's Martin Trayne, Deena.
I, uh... I heard about Tim.
I'm so sorry. I, uh...
My God. What happened?
Uh, we don't really know.
He, uh... he must have fallen.
Is there anything I can do?
Would you like for me to drive up there?
No. No, thanks. Um...
Tim's folks will be here this afternoon, and...
Paul is here visiting his father.
Uh, when is the funeral?
I don't-- I don't really know.
There has to be an autopsy.
God, Martin, he's gone.
He's really gone.
I loved him, Deena.
He loved you, too.
Uh, I'm sorry. I-- I-- I can't talk.
Bye.
We used to love coming up here this time of year.
When this is...
over...
I never want to see this place again.
Tim was uncomfortable about coming up here,
but Jon wanted--
[ knock on door ]
To come so badly.
Paul.
I'm so sorry.
So sorry.
Come in.
Hello, sir.
Paul.
Tim called, said you'd been together on his birthday.
He was really happy to see you,
after all those years, and...
well, you must be exhausted.
I just came by to see
if you needed anything.
Oh, we're fine.
I bought all of this food, and...
I can't believe I was-- just two days ago.
I'm going to, uh...
I'm going to check on Jon, tuck him in.
He's been afraid to go to sleep.
Say hi for me.
Yeah.
Hi, pal.
I want to go home, Mommy.
I do, too. But we can't. Not yet.
I'm scared, Mommy.
I don't want to go to sleep.
There's nothing to be scared about.
We're going to be fine. I promise.
You go to sleep. I'll be right in the kitchen, OK?
OK.
Close your eyes.
[ gasps ]
Where did this come from?
The police.
You'd left some of the things in the car,
and the others, well...
I'm sorry, but, uh...
I... I can't.
Let's get some sleep.
Thank you for being here for us, Paul.
Deena, you're exhausted.
Let me help clean up.
Uh, no, thank you.
I-- I need to keep busy.
You want some company?
Not tonight, Paul.
I'd like to be by myself, OK?
OK. I'll come back tomorrow.
OK.
And call me anytime for anything.
I'm only five minutes away.
Bye.
Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!
Jon?
Mommy!
I'm coming.
Mommy.
I'm here.
Mommy!
Jon, it's OK. You had a bad dream.
He was outside watching me. I saw him.
Who was outside?
The man in black. The one in the woods.
What are you talking about?
When we were on the raft,
I saw a man watching us.
I think he made Daddy die.
Now he wants to make me die.
Oh!
Sweetheart, listen to me.
Sometimes when we have a really bad dream,
we wake up, and we're sure that it happened.
There was no man.
There was! There was! You even saw him.
I didn't see anybody.
You took pictures of him.
No one hurt your Daddy.
Someone did. I want my Daddy.
I want my Daddy back!
OK.
I want him back!
OK. I'll go check the window.
There's nobody there.
It's OK.
Deena, Gene's taking me into town.
They're wrong.
Who's wrong?
Uh, the autopsy report was just delievered.
Barbara?
You ready?
Deena has the autopsy report.
It says that the cause of death
was accidental drowning,
and it says "circumstances unkown."
There's no indication
that he had a heart attack
or a stroke or anything.
He could've lost his footing--
Oh, come on! That doesn't sound right.
That's not Tim.
Gene, he told me that the two of you
hiked every foot of those trails
and that he knew the river
like the back of his hand.
For God's sakes! When he was a camp counselor,
he took kids on rafting trips.
He was in wonderful condition.
He wa strong and fit--
BARBARA: Deena, please.
We know how you feel.
It's so senseless--
It says here there was bruising
on his back and on his legs.
It says, "bruising in pattern injury."
Maybe there was somebody in the woods.
Jon told me that he saw a man
dressed all in black hiding in the woods.
I thought he was just having a bad dream.
Why would anyone want to kill Tim?
I have no idea.
GENE: It would make things easier
if we knew what happened,
but it's just not to be.
For your own sanity, let it go.
Excuse me.
Mrs. Reuschel.
Look, I'm sorry it took so long.
I'm short an assistant today.
That'll be 12 bucks.
Oh, my God.
There is someone.
I'm sorry?
Um, uh, nothing. I'm talking to myself.
I'm going to need a 5 x 7 and an 8 x 10.
Can you do that for me?
I can have them for you
this afternoon around 5:30.
You can't make it any sooner?
No way.
Like I said, I'm short-handed. Sorry.
Grab that rope, and on three, we pull.
Ready? 1, 2, 3.
OK, now tie that off.
Hi, guys.
Hi.
Paul's taking me rowing.
Yeah. Grandma told me.
Oh, lunch. I brought you some lunch.
Great. I'm starving.
Egg salad sandwiches, soda, cookies.
Perfect.
You look much better today, Deena.
Thank you.
Paul, there's something I need
to talk to you about,
but it has to be between us.
Barbara and Gene just cannot handle it.
You have my word.
Well, Jon told me that when we were
rafting the other day, he saw--
Can we go now?
OK. But first, run over to the shed
and grab the oars, and then we'll go.
OK.
Thank you.
Saw what?
A man.
He said he saw a man dressed all in black
standing under the trees watching us.
Do you believe him?
I didn't at first, but then I remembered I took some pictures,
and there was someone just standing there.
Do you have the pictures?
I'm having enlargements made.
They should be ready around 5:30.
Um, I'll show them to you later.
I'm back.
Thank you.
Here you go.
Sweetheart, I want you to have a wonderful time,
but promise me that you will be
very, very careful, OK?
OK.
OK. There you go.
I don't want him to go,
but I don't want to make him afraid.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
No, thanks.
There you go.
You want some lunch?
Yeah.
That's weird.
What?
You see that tree right there--
that really big one that's on the edge of the water?
Uh... yeah.
Yeah, I see it.
Isn't that a man...
standing under that tree looking out here at us?
Oh, no, that's not a man.
That's a bush.
Isn't it funny the way sometimes your eyes
play tricks on you?
When we were rafting with my daddy,
I did see a man.
You did?
He made my daddy die.
Did you see his face?
No. He was too far away.
Maybe your eyes were playing tricks on you
the same way that my eyes
were just playing tricks on me.
No. I saw him, and he's going to come back
and make me die, too.
No, Jon. No.
You're just a little boy.
Now, who would want to hurt a little boy?
Right?
Hello, sir. I would like an ND-3 filter
with a 52-millimeter thread.
Boy, we don't get many calls for those.
I'll have to check in the storeroom.
Be right back.
Take your time.
Hey, you're a lucky guy.
20 bucks even.
Here you go.
Thank you, sir.
Thanks to you.
Have a good day.
Oh, hi, Mrs. Reuschel.
Your enlargements are all ready.
I don't get it.
What?
I know I put them in here.
Wait. Let me help you.
Could they be in another basket?
This is where I put them.
I don't know. They were right here.
I did them myself.
Could you have given them to another customer by mistake?
Oh, I don't think so,
but it's been real busy,
and I'm here all alone.
When you were enlarging them, did you look at them?
Was there a man standing in them in the woods?
I don't know, ma'am.
They just looked like woods to me.
This is really important.
We have got to find them.
Dad?
Dad.
[ telephone ringing ]
These pictures don't tell me a thing, Mrs. Reuschel.
Damn. There was a better one-- clearer.
I left it at the camera shop to be enlarged,
and they lost it-- the negative and everything.
If you had seen that one,
you'd believe me.
There was a man watching us that day.
My son saw him.
I think that was the man in the photograph,
and I think he hit my husband from behind.
There's nothing to indicate he was hit.
Yes, there is--
Right here in the autopsy report.
It says struck on the legs from behind.
Well, actually it says
there's some pattern injury,
and there's some bruising on the legs.
It was probably caused by debris hitting him
as he was swept along by the current.
We see that kind of bruising frequently.
As sheriff, don't you have to take action
when somebody reports a suspicious death?
The autopsy findings indicate the death was accidental.
It also says "circumstances unknown."
What motive would anybody have for murdering your husband?
I don't know.
You bring me some hard evidence,
something that I can go on,
and maybe I'll investigate.
[ bell ringing softly ]
Excuse me.
Do you have a minute?
Hi.
My name is Deena Reuschel,
and I was wondering if--
I'm very sorry about your husband.
I actually knew him a long time ago.
Oh.
Arlene Trakas.
Hi.
When I saw the house, I was sure that--
Well, I was hoping...
Did you see what happened
on the river that day my husband?
Anything?
No. I'm sorry. I didn't.
[ bell ringing ]
[ ring ring ]
It's my mother. She had a stroke. She's an invalid.
She's old.
Well, thank you.
Mrs. Reuschel.
Come back.
Mom, this is Deena Reuschel.
OK. Go on and ask her.
Uh, I'm sorry.
I don't mean to upset you...
But my husband Tim...
he drowned in the river, and I--
She saw something from the window.
Um...
was he alone?
Does that mean no?
Yeah.
Was there another man with him?
[ ringing bell ]
Oh, God.
This other man, um...
what were his clothes like?
Were they black, like Arlene's pants?
Did he hurt my husband?
She's tired.
Should I go?
No. That's not what she wants.
Mom.
Did the man that you saw hurt Tim?
[ moaning ]
I understand.
The man killed him.
That's what happened, isn't it?
[ moaning loudly ]
I'm sorry to bother you at home, but I--
Mrs. Reuschel, I'm not as young as I used to be.
When I get home in the evening,
I like to put my feet up and read the paper.
I'm going to be in the office
in the morning about 10:00.
You want to stop by see me then, please?
I'll be at my husband's funeral then.
This will only take a minute.
I have a witness
who saw my husband murdered.
Oh, yeah?
It's a woman. Her name is Mimi Trakas,
and she saw everything from her bedroom window.
Ha ha ha ha!
Mr. Halligan, please.
I'm sorry. I know Mimi Trakas,
and I know she didn't tell you anything.
I think you asked her a lot of questions,
and she answered by ringing
her little bell, right?
She told me she saw him drowned.
She saw it.
Look.
Mimi Trakas.
Let's just say she's got
an overactive imagination.
She always has had, even before her stroke.
Only after her stroke, the only thing
she had left was her imagination.
You know what I mean?
Would you please just go talk to her?
She saw the murder and the murderer.
The only murderer loose in Cold Lake
is the one that Mimi's dreamt up.
Mrs. Reuschel,
your husband died just like it said--
accidental drowning, circumstances unknown,
and you have got to accept that.
I have to go.
I know you're upset.
I'm fine. I'm leaving.
[ people talking ]
The service was beautiful.
Thank you.
Would you like some air?
Yes.
Deena, we've run out of coffee.
Would you mind making some more, please?
Of course I will.
I'll be right out there.
Paul.
Sir.
Good to see you.
It's nice to see you.
Martin, I was wondering where you were.
I, uh...
I was out walking around.
I, uh... I've been thinking.
Martin, I have to ask you a question,
and it might sound really strange.
Well, you've come to the right person.
I think Tim's death might not have been an accident.
What's the question, Deena?
Do you think that's a possibility?
Yes. See, I don't believe
my sister Jenny's death was an accident either.
I was wondering where you were.
Oh, Martin. I didn't know
that you were still here.
I was just leaving.
We were just saying goodbye.
I'll be in touch, OK?
Yeah.
Martin thinks that Tim's drowning
might not have been an accident.
I knew he would start that again.
Start what?
He brought up Jenny, didn't he?
Yeah.
About how she was murdered.
Yes.
He has never been able to accept her loss.
You know, the day after the funeral,
he began insisting that she was killed.
Deena...
please, do not let what happened to him
happen to you.
It has been 10 years, and his life is a shambles.
You have to start letting it go.
I can't, not until I know what happened.
Deena.
When I was 12 years old,
my mother abandoned us,
and for years, I couldn't accept it.
It's not healthy.
You have to let it go.
I can't.
I don't like leaving you here alone, Deena.
I don't want to go, Mommy.
Oh, sweetheart, it's only for a few days.
I have to place and close up the house.
Are you going to look for the man who killed Daddy?
There is no man, Jon. You dreamt him.
Mommy took a picture of him.
Your grandma's right.
He was real.
Tell him, Deena.
I think maybe we both imagined him.
Hey, ready to go, buddy?
Come on, dear.
I'll see you on Sunday,
and I will call you every night, OK?
Mommy, please look for him. Please.
I will. I promise.
Let's go.
In you go.
Seat belt.
Yep.
Watch your fingers.
Love you.
I love you, too.
[ engine starts ]
PAUL: Deena.
Paul?
You startled me.
I'm sorry.
The door was open, so I just, uh, let myself in.
I wanted to make sure you were OK.
I'm fine, thank you.
Barbara and Gene left?
Yeah, a couple of hours ago for San Diego.
They took Jon.
Uh, look.
Why don't I go make us a drink?
No, thank you. I'm wiped out.
I'd like to go to bed.
Are you sure?
Yeah. I'll see you tomorrow.
Good night.
[ voices whispering ]
[ door opens ]
[ door closes ]
Come here, sweetheart.
Give me a kiss.
Hey, baby.
Hey! Ha ha!
Wow!
Mom.
Mom?
Oh, look at you.
You hungry?
You bet.
Mom, can I come in, too?
No. You stay out and play.
Mom, can I come in?
I told you, Paul,
you stay in the yard, and you play! Go on!
[ starts engine ]
Paul.
What do you want?
I've been thinking.
Oh, really? About what?
A lot of things.
Tim's death. Poor Jenny's death.
Yeah?
Well, you come here, Tim drowns.
You come here, Jenny drowns.
You don't show up for a couple of years,
nobody drowns.
So?
Now I understand why seeing you
makes my skin crawl.
Death follows you.
Why stop with Tim and Jenny?
Why not go back even further?
Oh, my God.
What did you do?
You were just a boy.
How could you do this?
How could you murder your own mother?
Well, Dad,
I was only 12 then.
I wasn't big enough to kill you.
Uhh!
Paul, what are you doing here?
Paul, please don't--
Come here, sweetheart. Give me a kiss.

Hello.
Deena.
Barbara, hi. How was the flight?
Awful. Jon was so wired,
he didn't sleep at all.
He just went down for a nap.
All right. Uh...
I'll come tonight.
I think that's a good idea.
Tell Jon that I love him
and I'll see him tomorrow morning, OK?
I will. Bye, Deena.
Bye.
Deena!
Deena?
Deena.
Deena, hi.
I've just left you a note.
My mother has rememberd something,
and she will only tell you.
Can I see her now?
We'll put this in the car.
All right. OK.
I saw Paul Kinsey at the funeral service.
It was nice seeing him after all this time.
Yes. He and Tim were very close.
It's awful when you think about it.
Paul lost his mother in a drowning, too.
Paul did?
Mm-hmm.
I thought that, uh...
What?
Nothing. Uh, that's terrible.
Oh, it was a nightmare.
Paul's father never got over it.
He was so in love with Leah.
Still, it's strange when you think about it--
Tim, Martin, and Paul
all losing someone to drowning,
and now you.
I'm sorry.
It's a beautiful ring. Irises, aren't they?
Yes.
Well, Irises were Paul's mother's favorite flower.
Really?
Mrs. Trakas?
Well, hello, Mrs. Trakas.
It's so nice to see you again.

Today, police are continuing their investigation
into the mysterious death of Carmen Ruiz.
Investigators indicate that despite an intensive probe,
they still have no leads.
Dakota, please. I'm trying to work.
In a minute.
This morning, our reporter Greg Warner
talked with Anthony Azana who was Ruiz's fiance.
Mr. Azana, there's something
you would like to share with our viewers.
Yes. I want to say
that I am personally offering a reward of 2,500
for anything anyone might remember
that could help the police find Carmen's murderer.
Please...
next Saturday would have been our wedding,
and now, because of some maniac...
this is all I have left of her.
It was to be my wedding band.
Oh, no.
Mom?
Mom, I'm home.
She's probably just napping.
Give me a sec.
OK.
Mom?
I've got Deena Reuschel with me.
Mom?
Mamma?
Mamma, look at me!
Deena!
What's the matter?
She's dead.
It's OK. I'll call for help.
WOMAN: Operator.
Please connect me to the sheriff's department.
It's an emergency.
WOMAN: May I help you?
Yes. Sheriff Halligan, please.
He's not here right now. Who's calling?
Deena Reuschel. Uh...
I'm calling to report a death.
Mimi Trakas is dead.
Send someone here right away.
That's the Trakas house on ransom road?
Yes, yes, but I need to speak to Sheriff Halligan
about something else.
It's extremely urgent,
so have him call me at my house-- the Reuschel house--
as soon as possible, OK?
Yes, Mrs. Reuschel. I'll tell him.
Deena!
[ telephone rings ]
Come on. Be there!
[ ring ]
[ telephone rings ]
[ ring ]
Hello.
Mrs. Reuschel.
Sheriff Halligan. Thank God. I know what happened to Tim.
Hello?
Sheriff?
Hello?
Damn!
[ gasp ]
Where are you going?
Uh, Jon is having a really difficult time.
I was really crazy to let him go.
He needs me to be with him now.
Of course he does. We both do.
It'll be perfect.
You and Jon and me together in San Diego.
Barbara and Gene will approve.
They've always liked me.
Yes, they have.
And Jon likes me, too. I can tell.
He's starting to forget Tim.
And you are, too, aren't you?
Paul, I--
You are, aren't you?
Yes, I am.
If you hurry and get your things,
we could drive together to Portland.
There's the plane that leaves at midnight.
You better hurry, though.
We wouldn't want to miss our flight.
[ engine starts ]
[ jeep drives off ]
[ gasp ]
[ door opens ]
[ door closes ]
You lied!
No, Paul.
You weren't waiting for me!
You were leaving!
No, I wasn't!
You don't love me!
We've been rowing in circles for hours.
What are you going to do to me?
Paul!
Paul Kinsey! This is Sheriff Halligan.
Bring back that boat immediately!
MARTIN: Deena! Deena, are you all right?
You hear me, Paul? Bring back the boat!
Paul.
Don't go.
MARTIN: Deena!
Deena! It's Martin!
Come here, Paul.
Come to me.
Mommy?
Come here, sweetheart.
Come here. Give me a kiss.
This is your last chance, Paul,
or we're coming out after you.
Mommy?
Wait.
I'm coming.
