Original subtitles

So what's this, then?

Well, this guy Over here

Was racing this pickup Down the street.

What?

The pickup's stolen,

And we finally stopped him Down here.

How does he get up here On the canopy?

Driver claims He's got no idea.

He says he was just Driving along,

And bang, this guy Lands on roof.

Guy drops out of the sky, That's his story?

That's it so far.

That's pretty weak.

And he just takes off On you?

Yeah, he takes us On a five-minute chase

Till we finally Boxed him in down here.

He didn't even know What he had on top.

We've got major impact.

This is high velocity, That's for sure.

Yeah.

Well, I'll tell you one thing, This is a first for me.

We're going to take that kid Back to where he landed

And take a look Around there.

Good idea.

I think I've got a wallet here.

Yeah, that's a good start Right there.

Is that your beeper Going off?

That's not my beeper.

Oh, look at this... Beeper here.

Check out the calls On that.

Okay, and here is The wallet.

Nothing in it.

No money, no nothing.

Hey, did you deal with this guy? Do you know this guy?

No sir, I've never Seen him before.

[ pager beeping ]

Oh... Now it is me.

I've got to go. Sorry.

What do you Want me to do?

Well, call me

When you find out where the guy Dropped from in the first place,

Where he fell from,

And I'm going to call ident And get them down here

Because I want them to see The body just like it is...

And, uh, maybe you want To cover him up,

So if you need one, I've got a clean tarp

In the back of my truck there,

And you can just Throw it on top.

Leave it there until They get a good look, okay?

Not your lucky day, I guess, eh?

I'm looking For some insight

Into the east indian Action in the dope trade

In relation To a shooting we had

On the docks About 10 days ago.

I know the victim, Danny zinn.

Danny zero, they call him. He's a small fry,

Dealing mostly heroin, Some coke, weed.

That's him, danny zero.

I've got a source Who's saying

The east indians Might be connected.

Oh yeah?

I'd like to hear About that.

It's nothing. It's just a rumor.

I'm trying to find out If there's anything to it.

Well, there's been a lot Of rip-offs lately,

So they've had to put Deals together

Through middlemen,

Because the big dealers Are getting hip to the scam,

So it's possible.

So that's a pattern?

Setting up deals And pulling a rip?

Yeah.

Danny zero Might fall for that.

Yeah, I suppose.

And what if he was Overextended?

You know,

Went out on a limb To broker a deal,

Then found out He was getting ripped

For his cash or his dope That he got on credit.

I mean, you know, Maybe he put up a fuss,

Maybe they'd shoot him?

Yeah, that Could happen,

But 10 days on,

Your trail's getting A little cold, no?

Yeah, I'm still trying To get a picture

Of who's who In the dope trade.

Yeah, well, that's A never-ending story.

Listen, if you get Any more information

From that informant Of yours,

I'd appreciate the tip.

I'll make sure You hear about it.

Okay. Take it easy, angie.

Yeah, you too.

Hey, and say hi To your wife for me.

Yeah, will do.

What the hell's this?

What's this?

Is that duct tape on there?

Yeah, it's wrapped Right around her.

Oh, my god. So what's the story here?

Well, we got a call About an hour ago

From that payphone over there.

Guy sitting on the curb Over there

Made the call.

Said his wife was Having trouble breathing.

We got to her, Tried to revive her,

But she was Already gone.

This is the husband?

Does the husband say

Why the wife's all taped up Like this?

No, he wouldn't Say anything about it.

So was she laid out here On the sidewalk like this

When you got here?

No, she was in the car, In the back seat there.

We pulled her out.

The door was jammed,

So we had to take her Out the other side.

The other side.

Okay.

Okay, all right.

So what's your story, Sweetheart?

What the hell happened to you?

There's petichia in the eyes.

Could be a number of reasons For that.

Neck seems okay.

There's blood in her Mouth though, eh?

Yeah, we've got no idea What caused that.

When we got here,

The husband was in the back seat Of the car with her.

He had a pillow In his hands.

It looked like He might have

Had the pillow Over her face.

Did you see that too?

I didn't see it.

Did you ask the husband About that?

No. I told the cops.

Well, you'll have To stick around.

You know, Nobody calls homicide.

They're going to want A statement from you, so...

Yeah, we planned On it.

Sorry.

Hi.

So according to His driver's license,

The guy's name is lorne quint.

His license has been Expired for 12 years.

Car insurance, expired.

Yeah?

The paramedics tell you About the pillow?

Yeah, they did.

They said that mr. Quint Here wouldn't comment.

Yeah, he's not going to Say anything.

We had a bad feeling about him From the get-go.

We threw him in some zap straps.

Okay, let me See the car.

You guys should've Called homicide

On this one.

I mean, next time--

Not that you're going to See this the next time--

But next time, Make that call.

Okay, sorry.

Yeah, we should have done that.

That's all right.

Is this the pillow?

Yeah, that's it there.

You can see the blood.

Yeah, yeah.

That's a smear. That's from contact.

Yeah, this old Blanket here...

There's blood, Maybe, there, too.

That's what I'm looking for.

What's this right here?

Let's bag that, okay?

Yeah.

Okay, you'd better Call homicide.

I'll see if I can get mr. Quint To talk to me in the meantime.

Well, good luck.

Mr. Quint?

How do you do, sir?

My name's dominic da vinci. I'm the coroner.

I have some questions For you.

I have to know what happened, And you have to tell me.

Sir?

Mr. Quint, you know, You don't have any choice here.

You have to tell me What happened here, okay?

Sir?

Mr. Quint?

All right, you just stick Right there.

Homicide detectives Are on their way.

You tell them about it.

What did you Want to talk about?

I'm looking For danny zero's girlfriend.

Mrs. Zero.

I told you where she lives.

Yeah, but she took off, And she hasn't come back.

I think she was From nanaimo originally.

You still trying to figure out Who shot danny?

Yeah.

I thought it was The east indians.

That's the rumor.

Well, if it wasn't them,

It could have been Somebody else.

There's another rumor.

Okay.

Yeah, the other rumor is Maybe it was a cop.

I heard a little about that.

Who's putting that rumor out?

Oh, you know,

It's been happening For a couple of years.

There's always been talk about How you've got to watch out,

That some of the dealers Got a cop that's into dope

And he gets a cut Of the action.

He's killed A couple of guys

Before.

Well, I need a little More specifics.

I don't have any.

You think brian's Capable of that?

He's pretty crazy.

He likes his coke,

That's for sure.

I already told you how he Sometimes ripped off dealers,

Him and joe tang?

[ pager beeping ]

Yeah.

Yeah, you did.

He's pretty weird.

Yeah.

Listen, I've got to run.

Do you want to stay And finish your soup?

I'm going to stay.

Okay.

Take care of yourself.

Bye, angie.

Nice seeing you again.

The husband won't say Why his wife is all bound up?

Well, what about The cause of death?

The coroner give any indication As to how she might have died?

No, there was Nothing obvious,

So he couldn't tell.

No witnesses yet?

Nobody saw anything, Heard anything?

Just the paramedic

Who saw mr. Quint With the pillow.

Let's take a look At the pillow.

Sure, yeah.

It's in the back seat here.

We just left it Right where we found we it.

So where does quint live? Do we know?

Yeah, well according To his old license,

His place is just Up the street here

And around the corner A couple of blocks,

And that's where He still lives.

So he was going home Or coming from home.

Did he say which?

No, no, He didn't say.

Okay, so, either way, He stopped here

And then he used That phone there

To make the 911 call, Is that right?

Yeah.

Well, let's get ident down here, Get them started on the car,

And call body pickup too.

Okay.

Thanks.

What are you thinking?

I'm looking at a roll Of duct tape like that,

And I'm thinking serious abuse.

Maybe he was Transporting her somewhere.

Yeah, then, Right in the middle

Of whatever the hell Was going on,

He makes this 911 call

Because something went wrong, Maybe.

Yeah.

Maybe it was Part of the plan.

I don't know.

Do we know If she was still alive

When he made the call to 911?

No.

The paramedic said she saw him

With the pillow Over her face, maybe,

When they arrived.

Well, we should Check it out with 911.

They'll have a tape Of the conversation.

Maybe he said something About what was going on.

Yeah. I don't know What we've got going here.

Maybe we should Get a warrant,

Check out his place, Have a look around.

You know, if there was Any kind of abuse going on,

The neighbors might've Heard something.

You want to arrest him?

Figure we should?

We might want to hold off, Talk to him a little bit,

See what's what, See what he has to say.

Yeah, okay.

We've got questions For him later,

We've got a constable to Bring him up to his house

After we check it out.

I'm just going to call up, Get that warrant started.

How you doing?

Thanks a lot.

Do you mind talking to me?

Sorry, I'm the coroner,

So I'm not a cop,

So your violations Really aren't my concern here.

I'm just wondering if You could help me out with--

About the guy that fell On top of your pickup truck.

Can you do that?

Can you help me out With my charges?

Well, I could probably Do something for you

On the failure To remain on the scene.

Moving a dead body, That's a pretty serious one...

Failure to report a death,

But I can't do anything for you

On the auto theft Or the parole violations.

You're out of Luck there.

Okay, yeah, yeah, okay.

Okay, just show me Where you were--

You were parked, am I right?

You weren't Driving by.

Right by the curb there.

I was waiting For a friend,

And it scared me,

So I floored it. It was pretty stupid.

Man, I should've just Jumped out of the truck

And left it.

That would've been My call.

So show me exactly Where you were now.

Just right here.

Right here?

Just up there.

Would you say up here Where the parking sign--

Well, I guess Now you know

Why they've got those "No parking" signs.

Yeah.

You see anybody You knew down here,

Any witnesses?

No, no witnesses.

Look, the guy,

He fell from the sky, No warning.

I mean, if I had a sunroof, I would've seen him coming.

In a pickup truck.

What about the guy You were scoring from?

Well, I don't know What happened to him.

There had to be Some witnesses.

I mean, you're down here All the time, right?

You must know Somebody, or--

You must've seen Somebody.

It's a busy street.

Yeah, exactly.

You know, maybe someone In one of the rooms

Saw him falling by.

Yeah, maybe. Just wait right there.

Okay, um, listen,

The officer wouldn't call My friend ruby,

And I was wondering If maybe you could call her

And tell her That I'm going to be hung up

For a little while.

Okay. Just mark Her name and number down,

And I'll give her a call When I get a minute.

You promise?

Yeah.

Anything else?

No, just give her a call.

Just wait over there, Okay?

So he says he was parked here,

So it could have been

Any one of these Windows up here.

All right, well, I can

Start a couple Of constables

On a canvass For witnesses.

Any idea If he was dead or alive

Before he hit the pickup?

None.

Mr. Quint Owns the property?

Yeah, I just Manage it for him,

Collect the rents, Fix whatever, you know.

You weren't Friendly with him

Or anything like that?

He doesn't like to be bothered, So I don't bother him.

Have you seen him This morning?

No, not this morning.

What about his wife?

You ever see her?

Wife? No, he's not married.

You live upstairs, Right?

You've never seen him With a woman?

No, he lives alone.

Usually if I see him,

He's out in the backyard Working on one of his junkers.

This is it here.

He keeps a basement suite For himself.

You've never had a reason To come in here before?

No.

Okay, thanks, we've Got it from here.

Okay.

Wow.

Geez.

Looks like this guy's Got every newspaper

Dating back To I don't know when.

1987.

I smell gasoline.

You smell that?

Yeah.

I'm going to go crack The window over here.

We've got a lot of Bowling trophies up here.

You know what?

He's got these windows Nailed shut.

None of these are his.

He hasn't got his name on 'em.

I had an uncle like this guy.

He was a pack rat.

He couldn't throw anything away.

He'd actually Get sick and puke

If his wife Threw something out.

I'm not seeing A phone anywhere.

It could be buried Under all of this.

He's got a shrunken Head up here.

That's one of those Rubber heads. Fake.

Oh, yeah, I remember those.

You used to be able To order those

Off the back page Of the comic book.

Solved the mystery Of the sme.

There's a carburetor

Torn apart on The kitchen counter

And he's soaking Some of the parts

In a bucket of gas.

Come and take a look at this Here.

There's blood on the sheets.

Yeah, looks like it.

And what's this On the bed posts?

Belts.

That looks ugly.

Have a look in this box.

What next?

A bunch of different chains, All different sizes,

And a bunch of locks.

You catch the writing On the wall here?

Yeah, I can't make Head or tail out of that.

No, it's all writing Mixed with symbols, pictures.

Yeah, look at this.

It's all over the paper On the desk here too,

Everywhere.

Yeah.

Got a whole bunch Of women's clothes

In the closet there.

There's definitely been A woman living here, huh?

Yeah, Or he was keeping one here.

You're sure the guy Jumped from this building?

Yeah.

I haven't heard From this room

Since they checked in Last night.

They?

Yeah, two black guys,

American.

Hello?

Anybody in there?

How do you know They were americans?

You can tell.

I'm coming in.

So you just rented The one room

For both of them?

Yeah, I got the impression It was the one guy's room,

The other guy Wasn't going to stay.

What gave you The impression

The other guy Wasn't going to stay here?

I don't know.

One guy had a small bag--

There it is on the bed, And his guitar.

That's his guitar?

Yeah.

What about this door?

Does that key Open up that door too?

No.

A guy could Jimmy that lock, though.

I guess anyone Can get through any door

If they want to And they know how.

Somebody has. It's been worked on.

Dig marks all around that lock,

But I can't tell If those marks are recent

Or if they're old or what.

Who's in this room?

Nobody.

I don't rent it out. It needs repairs.

You don't mind If we take a look around here

By ourselves, do you?

No. I've got to go Watch the desk.

Are you all right In here?

Yeah, thanks.

We got an identification On the dead man.

He's william Walter freed.

He was a private In the u.S. Forces,

And he just went awol From fort lewis.

From fort lewis?

That's in washington, eh?

Yeah.

Just across the border there.

Closed.

You'd better get in touch With those people down there

And tell them We've got their guy.

Are you going to turn this Into a crime scene?

You want to lock it up?

Well, you don't have to Close down the whole floor.

I just think we want to keep The looky-loos away.

It's pretty weird.

All of these windows, All locked.

Now, who jumps Out a window

And closes and locks The window

After themselves?

You've got another guy In the picture.

Apparently.

Okay.

Well, it's unlocked now.

Okay, well, I guess...

I suppose if I got right up here And stood out on the ledge

And I stood out there

And did a swan dive,

A leap or dive Or something,

Maybe I might hit That parking lane.

Take a lot of work.

We've got A bottle of bourbon here.

Yeah, any sign of a glass?

Uh-uh, but it's empty, though.

He's awol?

Well, we should

Get in touch with his company Or his regiment

And see What they know about him.

Do you want To do that?

Not a problem. See you soon.

I'm going to take This zap strap off.

Make you a little More comfortable.

There you go.

Thanks.

The woman you were With this morning,

She was your wife?

Yeah.

See, that's confusing to us,

Because we talked to the manager Of the building here

And your neighbors Who rent from you.

They say you weren't married.

They didn't know About your wife.

They didn't even know You had a woman there.

I didn't want them to know.

You didn't Want them to.

Why not?

Neighbors made fun of us Where we lived before.

How long you been Living with marlene?

I met her When she was in high school.

She's 37...So that long.

Does she have some family We can get in contact with?

Parents.

Okay, why don't you Write down their names for us,

And then we can find them, okay?

Here you go.

So would you Run through it for us,

What happened this morning?

There are some things That can be known

And some things that Can't ever be known.

How about we start with Something that can be known?

How about the writing On the wall in your bedroom?

What's that about?

I can't tell you.

Okay, then, why don't we start

With what you were Doing this morning

With your wife in the car?

Marlene had one of her raptures.

Raptures--

What kind of raptures Are we talking about?

She would become possessed With the spirit.

Shaking, she'd start shaking.

So shaking,

Like some kind Of a seizure?

Marlene called them her spells.

Okay, let's get back to what was Happening this morning.

So marlene, she was having One of her spells.

Go on.

They usually only last A couple of minutes,

But this one...

Wasn't going to stop,

So I had to put her in the car And drove to the phone.

You don't have a phone Here in your place?

No, I don't have Any reason for a phone.

Why didn't you use A neighbor's phone?

I didn't want to bother anybody.

Okay, so you made the 911 call

At the...The phone.

And what happened?

I get confused about this,

Because I don't remember this part.

You don't remember?

That's why...

That's why you didn't want To talk earlier.

I didn't want To sound stupid.

Well, that doesn't Sound stupid.

See, sometimes When a bad thing happens,

Then you shut it out For a little while

Until you can handle Remembering it.

Yeah, I figured that was it.

See, I don't Believe that.

I think that you can't Block it out.

I think that, you know, You do something,

And then It's just too painful

To remember it.

You don't want To admit it.

You're ashamed.

I suppose it could be that too.

I don't know.

Well, either way, see,

If we work On it together,

Maybe we can figure It out, okay?

Yeah.

I'm very tired now.

I have to lie down.

Okay, take a nap.

Hey, mr. Quint.

Mr. Quint.

Mr. Quint?

Boy, that was fast.

Thanks for coming down.

You remember How you were telling me

That danny zero Told his girlfriend

That he was going to go Down to the docks

To meet with this cop To sell him some coke?

I think she said he was going to Give the guy some coke

In exchange For protection.

And when you got the call

That your informant, Danny's girl, was worried

Because danny hadn't come back From meeting this guy,

Where were you?

I was at home, sleeping.

I got a page from her, So I called her back.

And what did you do

When she told you What was happening?

I got dressed And drove down to the docks.

Okay, and what time was that?

Early. 5:00 a.M., around there.

And you called brian To go along?

Yeah.

Where was he When you called him?

I'm going to have a cigarette.

Thanks.

Are you investigating brian?

I'm investigating Danny's murder.

You know, I don't like brian, But he's my partner,

And you know The story with that.

I understand.

Okay.

Right after I talked to carla, I called brian,

But I couldn't Get a hold of him,

So I went down To the docks,

Called him again.

He said he'd be About 20 minutes.

Then he came down, And we found danny in the water.

And how was brian When he got there?

What was His frame of mind?

He was just real agitated

That our informant called me Instead of him

And where was she,

And he had to talk to her, Stuff like that.

Okay.

Anything else?

That's it for now.

Okay, see you later.

Uh-huh.

Hey, take it easy.

Yeah.

[ door opening ]

Okay, what we know

Is that he went awol A couple of days ago,

And he tried to get in touch With his folks

A couple of times Before he left.

That was his mother Beeping him back.

His mother?

Yeah, he probably Borrowed the beeper

From a friend or something,

But anyway, I let them know,

And they're on their way down With his wife and his brother.

They're coming too.

Apparently, he had a new baby,

Six months old.

Well, I come across This letter.

It kind of lays it all out here. Take a look.

It says he joined up Two years ago,

Got posted in sarajevo,

When he came back, he thought, "I'm not cut out for this,"

And he didn't Feel right

About taking a man's life,

Potentially.

Except his own.

Except his own.

Pretty straightforward Suicide, then.

I don't know, It doesn't really say

He's going to kill himself, Though, in there, does it?

Can I take a look at that again?

No, actually, what it does say,

He says, "The guys in my unit Will brand me a coward,

"But I have to find the courage To live with that

No matter how hard it gets.

I want my son to grow up

Knowing how to live

With the courage Of your convictions."

It doesn't say he's going to Kill himself, really, does it?

Yeah, but you don't know When he wrote that, right?

Yeah, that's right,

We don't know When he wrote that.

He might've changed his mind About not committing suicide.

Yeah, I guess he could've, Yeah.

He downed Some bourbon,

Got some courage together, Made the jump.

Could've.

You're right.

You're right. You're right.

I tell you What still sticks in me, though,

Is these windows being locked.

Like, who locked these windows?

That's a good question.

One to which I'd like an answer.

I'm going to grab Some pictures here, I think.

It takes A hell of a lot of courage

To jump out a window.

Yeah, I'm not That good with heights.

Me either.

All right.

Let me get these guitar strings Over here,

Which he just bought, It looks like.

Just up the street.

I don't know Who buys guitar strings,

Starts putting them On his guitar,

And then decides To jump out the window.

I get dizzy just Looking down from here.

Oh, my.

We've got two passports in here.

We've got an american passport-- William freed, that's him.

An extra picture in there...

And then we've got The canadian passport.

John steven winslow, not him.

That's him, isn't it?

Same guy?

Pretty good job on that.

Oh yeah.

Maybe the other guy That was up here with him

Was the one who sold him The fake I.D.

Pretty good, yeah.

Why don't you go into the system

And see what's the story On this canadian p.I.?

Give me this one.

See if it's stolen Or what the story is on it.

Okay, I'll be right back.

Okay, thanks.

So I located The wife's parents.

They're still living Up in kamloops.

Oh, great. Did you talk to them?

Yeah. I got an earful, actually.

According to them, Their daughter marlene

Was kidnapped By this guy, quint.

"Brainwashed" is actually How they put it.

Quint sweet-talked her Into running off with him

When she was 17.

A parent's worst nightmare. What else did they say?

Just that every time They tried to see her,

Quint would get up in their face

And give them this whole routine About, you know,

"Marlene doesn't want to have Anything to do with you."

Did they talk to The cops about that?

Yeah, the rcmp in kamloops Did check it out,

And they found some signs Of possible abuse,

Some bruising, a black eye,

But she didn't want to Point the finger at her husband,

So they had to drop it.

Could be she was just Too scared to say anything.

Okay, well, That's good work.

Uh, one more thing.

The daughter, marlene,

Apparently has got A lot of money,

Some kind of trust fund

Left to her From the grandmother.

It's over A million bucks.

Geez. This is how they live?

Yeah, I thought You guys should know that.

All right.

Thanks again.

Well, there's your motive Right there--

Money.

Yeah.

What do you think?

I couldn't get A read on him.

No, neither can I. I mean, he acts like

He's only got one oar In the water,

But I'm thinking maybe He's running a game on us.

Yeah, he could be.

Why don't we let him Play it out?

What do you mean?

Well, if he's playing A game, right,

Could be He's trying to find

A way to mitigate The circumstances,

Claim it's an accident,

Then he's going to Dream up an excuse,

Make himself feel better,

And then he's going To tell us, right?

We just let him do it.

I get you.

We open a door for him.

If he walks through it,

We section 10 him And read him his rights.

Okay.

This is the roof.

You can see The whole downtown.

Yeah.

So you can't smoke In the rooms up here,

Is that true?

No.

Was ours a smoker?

I think he was.

I think I saw some cigarettes In his room.

You know,

It feels pretty nice Up here.

I can see the guy Coming up here,

Having a cigarette,

Feeling pretty good About life.

Maybe gets a canadian beer In him, eh?

I mean, he's already got The hard part over.

He got across the border.

He got the sanctuary.

He's up here, He's already started--

Got a letter Off to his family,

Getting all that Off his chest.

He's got the phony I.D. In the works.

Does he get the sudden urge To jump?

Whoa, geez.

Probably Pretty drunk, too.

There's a glass Over here.

Oh yeah.

Smells like bourbon.

We'll get a good idea About that

When the blood work Comes back.

Couple of cigarette butts Around the glass.

What if he's sitting there Like that,

You know, he's up here On the edge of the roof,

Stands up, he's too loaded-- Whoa, backs right over.

Oh, he's sitting Backwards.

Another possibility, Of course,

The other guy is Up here with him,

They get into A little fight, and...

Off we go. Sorry.

Off he goes.

I'll tell you what I'm wondering about, though,

Is this sidewalk.

You see that sidewalk? That's a good few yards.

He's got to clear that, So if he's jumping,

That's not going to be A problem.

He'll get over that no problem, Or if he's pushed,

But otherwise,

If you're just falling,

That's a straight drop down.

You're not going to hit That pickup truck.

That's right.

We never had A jumper before.

Well, I've never Had one like this.

I'll tell you that For free.

How do you feel about

Trying to help us Figure out

What happened With your wife here?

Yeah...

I'd like to try To figure it out.

Good.

You remember Making the 911 call

From that phone booth Over here?

Yeah.

What happened After that?

Did you Get back in the car?

I don't know, see. I don't know.

We know.

That's where the paramedics Said they found you.

You were in the back Seat of the car.

Okay, well, I could've Got back into the car.

I remember that now. I do.

Let's try Something else here.

Okay, your wife,

She was found Bound with duct tape

Just over here.

Do you remember Anything about that?

What can you tell us?

When marlene would Have her raptures,

Sometimes she would hurt herself From the shaking.

I would tie her arms up With the tape.

Yeah? Okay.

You remember being In the back seat here.

Yeah, come on down here.

You can climb back.

Get in the back seat, and...

It's okay.

Get in.

It's okay.

We've just got to try And figure out, you know,

What you might've been doing Back there.

What do you mean?

Well, for starters,

There was a blanket found Here in the back seat.

Maybe did you use that To cover her up, or...

Yeah, I could've Done that.

I mean, that's what I put it in there for.

Do you remember the pillow?

No.

Well, there was A pillow back there,

So if you put the blanket Over her

To comfort her,

Maybe You took the pillow

And put it underneath her head For the same reason.

What do you think?

I don't remember a pillow.

Okay, That right there,

Now, that's a problem We need to discuss.

Come on, get out of there For a sec.

Let's talk about the fits Your wife was having.

It sounds like those Have been getting worse

As she gets older, Is that right?

Yeah, they've been getting bad.

Taking that Into consideration,

Would you say that maybe

You were getting A little frustrated

By your situation?

Yeah, I was a little frustrated.

What about The back seat here?

Now, you're back there, You're with your wife,

You're getting A little scared,

Getting a little Frustrated.

Did you think at any time, Was it occurring to you,

"I wish this would Stop,

Will it ever stop?"

Uh-huh,

I think I did Something wrong.

I think-- I think I did something.

What do you Think you did?

I...

Look, I feel bad About having those feelings.

Well, no, you see, Right there,

You shouldn't Fault yourself.

That's just Human nature.

Yeah, I know,

But it's hard To say it out loud.

If I said that you did Have those feelings,

Then what would you say?

That I was just real frustrated With the whole situation.

Now, if I told you

That somebody saw you In the back seat of the car

Doing harm to your wife,

Keeping in mind, now, Remembering

How you were feeling,

Then what would you say?

Somebody saw me-- Somebody saw me in there?

Well, we don't know For sure.

We don't know.

You tell us.

Yeah, I know, but I can't.

Now, we know It wasn't your intention

Harm your wife, okay?

We know that,

But if you did--

If you did,

How do you think You might've done that?

I remember About the pillow,

Having it in my hands.

Do you think you could Have used that pillow

To harm your wife?

Don't make me Say it out loud.

No, you've got to say it.

If you did do it, If you did,

You've got to say it To clear your conscience.

And if you didn't, Just say that--

"I didn't do it."

I did it.

Okay, Don't say anything else.

I put the pillow Over her face.

Guess what?

That guy on the Other passport?

He lives right here In town.

I called him at home.

He said his passport Got stolen

When somebody broke in To his house,

But he never reported it Stolen,

So that could be Bull.

You know, I think

I've got this thing Figured out.

Oh yeah?

He didn't fall Or jump out of any--

When he's Up on the roof,

He fell backwards Off the roof,

Just like what we said, okay?

He's up there Having his cigarette,

He's looking around,

He's got the view Of his new adopted city.

He's having himself A little drink.

He's thinking, "Hey, you know what?

"I changed my name. I've changed my life.

Everything's Going to work out great."

He goes to stand up.

He's a little tottery, He's a little bit totaled, eh,

So he's sitting backwards With his back to the street,

And then he gets up And whoa, there he goes.

That's right.

Something like that, Just like that.

Excuse me.

This is the man's friend.

Hi. What's going on? What happened to will?

You're the friend Of his?

Yes. What happened?

Were you with him Last night in the hotel?

No.

Okay, do you want to Come over here

For a second?

It's my sad duty to inform you That your friend will

Has either fallen Or jumped out of a window

Earlier today.

No.

I'm very sorry.

No, man.

No!

Yes.

When was the last time You saw him?

Yesterday.

I drove him Up across the border yesterday.

He was awol?

And what were his plans? Do you know what they were?

He wanted To move up here

And bring his family up

When he got work Or something like that, but--

Was he acting normal The last time you saw him?

Yes.

No.

No?

Well, he was scared, nervous.

You know, it was A big decision.

So did you check in with him?

Yes.

And?

Well, I have a cousin up here.

I was over there just now Trying to talk about him,

Trying to get will a job.

You know, I tried To page him all day.

I gave him a beeper,

And then he wasn't Answering, and...

We found two different Pieces of identification

Up in his room.

Can you help me out with that?

I don't know, man.

He was supposed to be Buying a passport

From a guy He's got a number for.

How much money did he have To get that done?

He had six grand.

Six grand?

How much was he paying For the passport?

500 bucks.

Just give me a second.

The guy that said He got his passport stolen,

Let's get a hold of him.

You think it might Be a robbery?

You know, He's got a big fat bankroll.

He was going to pay For this passport,

Then the guy gets it Into his head,

"Maybe I'll roll this guy For his six grand."

They get into a tussle,

And boom, Over the side he goes.

I'm going to flip this Over to homicide.

That makes sense to me.

I'm sorry about your friend.

He was such a nice guy.

Was he?

[ cell phone ringing ]

His family's going to be Wiped out, man.

Excuse me-- Just one sec here.

Okay.

Yeah? Okay. Well...

If it's important.

Okay, what, what, what? Shoot.

Temporal lobe epilepsy. I'm familiar with it.

Oh, yeah.

Okay, thanks.

I was working on One of my cars outside.

Why'd you come In the house?

To get a coffee.

That's when I found marlene On the kitchen floor.

What'd you do then?

I took her Into the bedroom

And I taped up her arms Like I always do.

Okay, in the bedroom there, We found blood on the sheet.

What's that from?

She bit her tongue.

That's when I put her In the car.

Yeah, underneath Your bed,

You've got a box

That's full of Chains and locks.

What's that for?

You never know

When you're going to need A chain or a lock.

Okay, that's it for now.

You need anything,

You talk to the Officer outside.

I'm fine.

I've got some news for you guys

About the autopsy.

I thought you might Want to know this.

What, you've got A cause of death?

It was asphyxiation.

Fits what he told us About the pillow.

He was clear on that point, That he used the pillow?

Yeah. Why?

Okay, the wife--

The wife Had temporal lobe epilepsy.

Well, we know she was Having seizures.

He gave us that.

Oh, he did?

Well, the thing about epileptics

Is that sometimes their limbs Can freeze up.

If she couldn't get any air In the back seat,

Maybe she's Got her face

Forced down into The upholstery

Or it's to the side in the back,

I think maybe

That's how She suffocated.

Yeah, well, we didn't Put the idea of the pillow

Into his head.

Oh, I know, I'm just--

I thought You might want to know that.

I don't know What went on in here.

What's with all the writing On the wall?

We don't know. We have no idea.

You want to talk to him?

Would you mind?

No, it's okay.

I'll get him.

Did quint say that He wrote this stuff on the wall?

He won't tell us Anything about it.

I just wanted to Ask you a question

About all this writing On the wall.

Did you do that?

It's none of your Business.

None of my business?

Okay, well, can you Just tell me

What all of these words And these symbols--

Do they mean anything or...

No, I can't tell you that.

Just a bunch Of gibberish, right?

This is not gibberish.

Well, what does it mean, then, All these symbols?

Marlene wrote this.

This is private.

Marlene, your wife, She wrote this?

Yes.

She wrote all the time.

She liked to write.

Okay, good.

That's starting to make sense To me now.

Yeah.

Because you know she was An epileptic, right?

No, she wasn't.

Yeah, and she had A form of epilepsy

That's known as Temporal lobe epilepsy.

That's why all the seizures.

No, it wasn't.

Yeah. Yes, it was...

But sometimes when somebody has This form of epilepsy,

Another condition can occur,

And that's known as Hypergraphia.

It's a compulsion to write.

Can't stop.

She had that, yeah.

Well, great.

Okay, so when your wife Had these--

Had one of her seizures,

And then she'd sit down

And write All her nonsense out

Because she couldn't Help herself...

I told you This isn't nonsense.

Well, sure it is.

I mean, look at this. Well, okay,

You've got an eye--

That's the eye of horus. That's egyptian.

Egyptian eye,

And then you've got a heart With an arrow through it,

And a cloud.

No, that's not a cloud It's a sheep, isn't it?

See, I'm not That stupid.

Then you've got An infinity and a clock,

And what's that, A basket--

Bushel! Bushel.

A little basket.

A peck.

What's it supposed To mean?

It doesn't Mean anything.

No, look.

The eye is "I."

Okay.

The heart is "Love,"

The sheep is "You"...

And the rest.

Oh, oh, oh!

Maybe I am kind of stupid.

"I love you

A bushel and a peck" Forever and all time.

Great, great.

Did you make her Write that down for you?

No.

You didn't make her Write that?

No.

She wrote that All on her own?

Yeah.

She did?

Yes,

But you're not supposed to tell What it says.

Why ever not?

Can you tell me?

No one will believe it.

Okay, I'm going to Ask you straight out.

Did you kill your wife?

No.

Then why did you Confess to us

That you did?

I don't know.
