You okay?

Look, I told you, it's crazy.

That's just a little sore, but it's fine.

Head okay?

I mean, you hit there.

I'm fine. You get off it?

I mean, what the hell are you trying to do back there?

Smokey's on the bike.

I'm getting a sagging off flash. I cut off the pipe.

I've got 46.

Smooth sailing.

Smooth sailing, that's right.

When did the flash ever steer you wrong?

Let's hear Tiger for one flash. What kind of line are you giving us? Your

drops up and down to 40 today.

You watch your mouth, Tiger.

Say, who the hell are you? You're not on 46.

Beat me, Tiger. I'll shove that microphone down your throat.

Where do you want it to be?

Hey, Flash, is that you in that wimpy, dipped little pizza truck behind me?

We're trying to dunk it, Tiger. Where do we meet?

Look, I'm not looking for trouble.

Well, it found you.

Now, you get off the air and you stay off the air.

If I hear your handle again, I'm going to come looking.

Let me hear you sign off.

Tiger out.

All right, rescue suckers, hear that? Keep on trucking.

say, huh?

What did I tell you?

I can smell victory, baby.

Come on.

Go get a baby.

Ah, he's a strike. He gets a strike. He comes through under pressure every time.

You guys are done.

It was nice, Tom. It was very nice.

Nice?

Nice? Is that what you said? It was nice? Did you hear that? That was nice.

It was wonderful, Tom. It was fantastic.

Too bad the 11 o 'clock news... You

think that's funny?

Huh?

You think that's funny?

You're right, Tom. Hey, whatever you want to think is funny, go ahead, dang

funny. I came through. You come through. You knock them all down. It'll be nice

for everybody.

Come on, Tom. Take it easy.

Was I talking to you? Was anybody talking to you? You just stay the hell

here.

Well, sorry. Don't feed the bulldogs, does it, baby?

Get out of here.

Tom, come on.

Where are you, Tom? What's the matter? You want to get out of my face now?

All right, all right.

Nice.

Do you like change for the machine?

I do.

Cashing out.

Just a moment, please.

I just wrapped up a game with a strike.

There you go. That's great.

Damn right.

That's what you're supposed to say, right, Bobby?

Yeah,

I guess.

That'll be $8.

Looking for my cigarettes. I keep forgetting I gave them up.

I'm sorry, Tom.

Really.

It's so hot and I... I had a hard day.

I guess I just wasn't up for it.

Oh, don't worry about it. I just get crazy sometimes.

Yeah, I do, and then I treat you bad. I don't know what it is.

I just, I get it in my head, you know, like I'm in the seventh game of the

series and you're out there cheering for me.

And that's all that matters. You're up there, children.

Only I ain't in the series, and I'm never gonna be.

Are we cleared to leave the personnel office before you leave?

Are we cleared to leave the personnel office?

Hey,

Bobby.

Last night, bowling alley?

Oh, yeah.

You're the guy with the strike.

Yeah.

I just figured, you know, we're going to keep running into each other like this.

Maybe we ought to talk.

About what?

Fate, I guess.

I mean, it has to mean something, doesn't it?

Maybe we're supposed to get together.

What do you think we ought to do?

Do? Yeah.

You want to go somewhere?

Hey, come on, mister.

No, no, no, Tom.

You know, I thought maybe an ice cream.

Want to go get an ice cream?

I'm sorry. I got to get home.

I know exactly what you're thinking. I don't want to go anywhere with this guy.

Nothing personal. I understand.

Stay in there, girl. Take care.

Bye. Bye.

On the other hand, he is kind of interesting.

Funny sort of a way.

I can do in the shade.

Ice cream does sound bad.

And if this line of reasoning is correct, you are dealing with the exact

guy.

You keep ice cream in there?

Well, Bobby, a man never knows when he's about to start an important

relationship. You've got to be ready.

It's okay.

It's okay, Bobby.

Looks better on me.

Tom?

Yeah?

Some lobster salad left over.

I brought it home.

I thought it might be nice. In this heat?

Yeah.

I picked up some beer.

I thought about you all day in Manchester.

Man, wasn't that bad.

I don't know how you do it.

You know what might be nice?

Why don't we go to the movies tonight?

Something air -conditioned. Anything air -conditioned.

Yeah. I couldn't stop thinking about...

What you said last night about pitching in the World Series? Yeah, okay. I said

it. It was stupid. Can we just forget about it? No, I don't want to forget it,

Tom.

I like when you talk to me about what you're thinking and when you confide in

me.

Sit down. I'll be ready in a minute.

Two -run lead, Nick. You can't even hold on to it.

Look, I'm not really hungry so...

Yes, I just...

So, where do you live?

No, the green one.

I'll walk from here.

You married or something?

Because usually, you know, a guy drives a girl right up to her house.

Let me guess, you live with somebody.

My parents.

Oh, I thought maybe there was a guy.

Are you making fun of me?

Making fun of you? No, I'm making fun of the guys in this town. What the hell's

the matter with them?

I was never, you know, popular.

You're kidding.

Beautiful girl like you?

I'm not beautiful.

Well, you ought to take a look at yourself sometime.

The way I do.

No one's ever said anything to me like that before.

Ever.

I thought maybe I could pick you up like this after work again sometime.

Go out for an ice cream.

Maybe do a movie sometime.

Or some weekend.

Go to the beach.

No kid, but the way kids do, you know.

I bet you look great in a bathing suit.

Bet you something else, too.

Bet that's where I ask you to marry me.

At the beach.

Not the first time, of course, but sometime before this heat breaks.

Listen to me, I'm crazy, you know.

It is something to think about, though.

I mean, you don't have to answer anything right now, just think about it.

I can't think about anything else.

Well, you better go.

You don't want your parents driving you crazy about who brought you home.

How'd you know that?

I know you, Bobby.

I hardly even met you, but I know you.

You ever feel like that?

Bobby was late today.

What?

Bobby was late coming home from work today.

Ten minutes.

Ten minutes.

You know, Bobby, I thought that something must have happened. Why does

have to happen? Every day she comes home at the same time, you can set your

watch by it. Well, then don't.

Are you seeing someone, Bobby? For Pete's sake. What? What did I say wrong

There's nothing wrong with her seeing someone.

Hell no, she's been out of high school two years, perfectly normal. Well, then

maybe I'm not normal.

In tomorrow's segment, looking now at our five -day forecast, the West Coast

will be looking at similar temperatures as the storm which passed Hawaii

yesterday has been stalled by a high -pressure system which continues to

over the Utah -Nevada border.

That same pressure system should keep clear skies in the...

Don't you ever get tired of it?

What?

Everything. Everything.

Is it something at work?

Is it me? It's everything.

All right, this morning I got to

thinking about the car, right?

I have always wanted a Mustang. Ever since I was a kid, I wanted a Mustang.

get one, only I'm not a kid.

You're still young and you still have fun.

Ah, jeez.

You just can't think like that. That's half the battle. Yeah, what's the other

half? Why don't we just take a couple of days off? Maybe go up to the cabin

and... Aye!

God!

That's exactly what I'm talking about here. That's exactly what I'm trying to

say.

God!

When I first met you, very first time I laid eyes on you, I just knew that this

was... This was special.

And I loved you so damn much.

You don't? I do. I do. It is not you.

It's me. It's not you. It's not us. It's... It's just me.

Tom. It'll be all right. No, it won't be all right. Why don't you just talk to

them? I am talking to somebody.

Damn it, I'm talking to you.

This is a trap.

Look at this. Look at this. It's you and the TV and the truck and the bowling

and you and the TV and the truck and the bowling and you and the... I'm going

out for a ride.

Get down low. Throw it sidearm. Way down low, see?

I was always afraid I'd hit a fish.

Ah, see the rock coming and they swim away.

Not if they're asleep.

Yep, even then.

They sleep with their eyes open.

Whoa.

They don't have any eyelid.

How do you know so much?

And what do you weasels think? The Flash is going down the road by himself?

You got her riding with you, Flash?

Over.

Damn right she's riding with me.

Honey blonde hair and one of those little tank tops.

Oh, eat your hearts out.

Put her on, Flash.

Let's push that and give them a thrill.

What should I say?

Say hello.

Hi. Look at me.

Hey, come on.

Hello.

Hey, you're really there.

What's your handle, honey?

What's my handle? I don't know.

What's it to be?

I don't know.

Hmm?

Gotta be something special.

Something to let them know who you are.

Thunderbolt. Tell him you're a thunderbolt.

Thunderbolt.

Thunderbolt.

That's because this is one hot lady.

What? I met a guy.

No kidding.

That's great.

He's just unbelievable.

He picked me up after my folks went to bed, and we went down by the river.

He called me Thunderbolt because he says that I'm hot and cool.

You are out of it to me.

I mean, the things he says, he just makes me feel so special, you know?

Well, who is he? Where'd you meet this guy?

Oh, you've seen him. He drives that truck for Maria's Fast Foods.

That guy?

Mm -hmm.

He's got to be in his 40s or something.

Oh, I don't care how old he is.

He's different.

He makes me feel really special.

See, I don't go out with guys too much. Not that I don't want to, but they just

don't ask me to because I get really nervous.

See, I don't know what to say or how to act like you do.

All I know is I don't want to end up like my mom and dad, just having supper

together with nothing to even talk about, you know?

This guy's something else.

I'm sure he is.

This guy's married.

Hey. What the hell? I mean, you want to have yourself a swing, no strings?

Take a married guy every time.

What's the matter?

A girl at work said you're married.

Me?

Married?

Well, I think that would have come up in conversation, Bobby.

So you're not?

Look at you. You get so serious.

You got fantastic eyes.

My brother's married.

My brother.

Tim, I'm Tom, remember?

If you want to know something about me, you ask me, not somebody at work, okay?

I'm sorry.

I was just telling her about you. You tell anybody you want.

Take a hat out in the paper if you like, okay?

Okay.

You really are beautiful, you know that?

But you got to let people see.

Here.

It's just this. It's all right.

head up just a bit and wipe your lips.

That's it.

Now smile.

Come on, give me a smile.

That's better.

Now, when you walk, you walk real straight and you'll see how

people watch you.

Oh, come on. You can do better than that.

Walk straight.

That's my girl.

That's my girl.

That's my girl.

playing with fire.

any change in the way she's dressed.

Maybe she has a boyfriend.

Well, maybe she doesn't.

You ready?

Uh, no. I have to wait for some brownies to come out. But you run along and meet

your boyfriend.

We'll catch up.

What boyfriend?

Bobby, don't.

You think we don't notice things?

Look how you're dressed.

Texting?

Let's go.

Ah, now she likes soccer.

Let's go now. No, no, no. We can get a taste.

They're understaffed. You won't get a flavor out of them.

And a prickle of mustard right across your tongue.

Take a prickle.

There you go.

Perfect.

Take that.

Oh, I guess guys, it's a pendant.

What do bears eat?

Frozen pizza?

Frozen pizza.

Bobby!

Hi. This is, uh... Bruno.

Smokey. Somebody. And, uh... And this is Nancy.

Hi.

Well, you guys enjoyed the picnic. It should be nice.

Come on.

Who was that, Bobby?

I don't remember his name.

Who was that?

From the polling room. You're in the wrong.

Maybe you're in the waiting room.

Find that woman.

All those mortars right there.

I just need to talk to Dwight.

It's all right. Let her in.

Hey, Bobby.

You want the grand tour?

You got to stay clear. This is powerful stuff.

Most people think it's for show. Just lights and all. No way. This is

You could level a whole building with this stuff. That's no joke.

Who's Nancy?

Who is she?

Who told you about Nancy? I met her.

Oh, jeez.

What did Tom say?

He said, Bobby, this is Nancy.

Are you going to tell me or aren't you, Dwight?

Come on, Bobby, figure it out.

It's his brother's wife.

Look, he doesn't have a brother.

You're a sweet kid, but you shouldn't be hanging around with Tom.

Just stay away from him.

That looks like a good place.

Let's go on over here.

Help yourself.

Sit by the edge, Tom.

Well, I think we can sit just as well up on the edge. This will be fine. Let's

just sit down, okay?

Just sit down.

Come on.

Well,

I just love fireworks.

Fourth of July has always been my favorite holiday ever since I was a kid.

Independence Day.

Had a great holiday?

Yeah. Yeah, great holiday.

Hey,

come on.

It's your favorite part, the fireworks.

Only doesn't matter.

I want to talk.

I'm late.

Then you'll be later. I've got to talk to you.

I don't have anything to say.

That wasn't fair.

It wasn't unfair because you love me. Is that why it's not fair? Because she's

your wife.

And you lied to me.

I was afraid you wouldn't want to see me again.

You got that right.

Listen, I can't get you out of my mind. I have never felt like this about

anybody before.

Well, I spent the whole night crying.

And I don't know if I'm going to be able to forget you, but I'm working on it. I

lied about her.

Okay. I'm sorry.

But I never lied about us. I want to marry you, Bobby.

Okay. But you are married.

It doesn't matter.

Right. Since when? Since the first time I saw you.

Since I thought I loved you. Stop it, Tom. Listen to me. Listen to me.

She doesn't mean anything to me.

I look at her and I don't even see her anymore.

A marriage is not forever.

Great. Call me when it's over.

You said to let you know when I had it worked out.

Is it over?

Yeah, yeah. Are you going to ask her for a divorce?

Well, there's other ways to end a marriage.

What are you talking about?

Well, think about it for a minute, Bobby. It's real simple.

If I leave her, she gets everything.

I mean, she gets the house. She gets everything.

But if she leaves me, she may very well do that. She's not going to want to do

that. Yeah, she will.

There's the same thing you said last week. The same thing all over. Listen,

please listen to me for a minute.

Sweetheart, when I make love to you, I am alive.

And the rest of the time, I just... I'm very nice.

And she will leave. I will make her leave.

Stop it, Tom.

I want to marry you, Bobby.

I want to marry you right now.

You can't do that. It would just be for the two of us, baby. And that's all a

marriage is, anyhow. It's just you and me.

It would be our secret, okay? The hell with Nancy, the hell with the whole rest

of the world. And then...

Once all this is settled, once it's all done, we can get married again in a

church this time if you want to.

I just... I can't lose you, baby.

I love you so damn much.

You are some fun fault.

You're some flash.

All set?

Let's go.

Look, Tom.

Something borrowed something blue all in one.

Put my name down as Tim, you know, just in case they check.

I love you, Tim.

Do you, Timothy, take Bobby to be your lawful wedded wife?

To love and to cherish, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, till

death do you part. I do.

Do you, Bobby, take Timothy to be your lawful wedded husband?

To love and to cherish, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, till

death do you part.

I do.

By the power vested in me by the state of Michigan, I now pronounce you...

Man and wife.

kissing your wife could be this good.

What?

You know what I was just thinking?

What? My folks would just die if they knew.

I know that. You can't tell anybody.

What?

It's love secrets, don't you?

I hate going home to my parents' house.

I wish we could just live together. I know.

I know.

Me too.

Where'd you get that?

Oh. I've had it.

It's just been in the drawer too long.

I can do that.

I love you, Tom.

Yeah.

What's the matter?

Nothing's the matter. I can just unbutton my own shirt, that's all.

I don't know about that, Bobby.

Why? You think he'll love it?

Sure.

I know.

Do you think I should return it?

What the hell?

Legs like yours? Keep it.

That's funny. I feel so different.

I never would have bought a dress like this before.

You were that guaranteed any man in the world asked you to marry him.

He did.

He already asked?

He already married me.

Look, I am not getting into trouble like that. I told you. I'm just asking you a

little favor here.

You are not asking for a favor. You are asking for explosives.

What the hell do you want it for?

You don't want to know that.

No, no, I am not getting mixed up in anything.

Wait, you got that axle yet? No, I haven't. Just give me a minute, okay?

It's, uh, it's a Mustang, okay?

Damn thing's just driving me into the ground.

And if I sell it right now, I'll just lose everything I've got in it.

You're crazy, you know that?

What are you going to do?

I just love this place, don't you?

Well, yeah, but I'll tell you, I don't know whether to feel old because I am

oldest guy here, or young because I'm hanging out with all these kids.

Like me.

What?

Something I wanted to show you.

What is it?

I'll just read it.

You.

I know you are the Saginaw Flash.

It wasn't easy finding you, but I found you.

I'm sick and tired of listening to you on the radio.

What is this, Tom?

What? I mean, is it a joke or something?

I'd be careful if I were you, Flash, because I'm looking for you.

And you'll know when I find you. This is not just a threat.

It's awful.

What are you going to do?

What can I do?

I just,

I wanted you to see this so we didn't have any secrets.

Hey, what do you say we swing by

the boat in LA, huh?

You go on in without me, and don't tell anybody you're with me.

What are you... I'll be right in. Go ahead.

Hey, what are you doing here? Just thought I'd come by if you guys were

You mean Tom?

Yeah, I guess. Is he here?

Did he say he was coming?

Keep pouring on there.

Mr.

West? Yeah. Detective Costas. I'm sorry.

If we stand up here, I want to ask you a couple of questions here.

From what the officer tells me, you didn't see any of them?

No, they knocked me down.

And I guess I was out for a couple of minutes. Anyhow, I heard the hood. I

somebody running.

I stood up and the whole thing blew. So you don't have any idea who might have

done it? Oh, no, I know exactly who it was.

Read that.

Go ahead.

Somebody sent you this?

No, I found it in the street. Yeah, it came in the mail. You know, I could have

been killed here.

So whoever sent you this put the bomb in the car. Is that what you're saying?

Well, gee, Sherlock, you know, you get a letter like this and then your cherry

Mustang gets blown sky high. How much more would you need?

It's hard to ensure, isn't it?

What kind of a question is it?

It's a routine question, Mr. Weston.

I'm asking you if you're covered for this. Yeah, I'm covered. Of course I'm

covered. You're damn right I'm covered. Fine.

So can you tell me you sent you this letter?

You know, I didn't find it.

Look, if you're planning on going after him... No, no, no, no. I wouldn't do

that. That'd be illegal, wouldn't it? I'll tell you what. Why don't you hang

to this? Maybe you can find it.

I'll do that. Yeah.

Oh, hi.

Nancy, this is Bobby. Bobby, Nancy.

Hi, how are you doing?

We met at the picnic. What's going on here?

Gee, I hope we're not doing anything wrong. I mean, I know my mom just hates

when anyone messes around in her kitchen.

Mr.

Weston said that you weren't like that at all. He just swore up and down that

would be okay. What is she doing here?

You have to be so rude.

Rude. I come home and this girl is setting up housekeeping in my kitchen?

Gosh, um, Mr. Weston, I told you maybe this wasn't such a good idea.

Yeah, well, I guess you were right.

Maybe we better go. What's going on, Tom?

Bobby, you want to wait for me in the car? I need a box of water.

what's going on, I'll tell you what's going on. Number one, they changed all

routes. Took me an extra two hours to get my deliveries done today.

Two,

Ben, you remember Ben who used to drive my routes?

He said he was going to show me how it all worked. Only three, somebody blew up

my car, in case you forgot, so I got no way to get out to Ben's.

Four, Bobby here, who just happens to be Ben's fiance and was going out there

anyway, offers me a ride.

Five, she gets here early and she actually offers to fix up something to

Only six, seven, eight, nine, and ten, my suspicious, dirty -minded bitch of a

wife storms in here like it was some kind of a vice raid because she has

us in the act of making tuna sandwiches.

She insults me, the girl, and makes a complete fool of herself.

Now, you know what's going on.

Ben's waiting for me. I gotta go.

All right, Tom. I only thought... No, you did not. You did not think.

Now, why don't you go out there and apologize to that girl?

I'm sorry, Bob.

That's all right. Really.

Well, great.

Now everybody's cool.

Do you see the look on her face like she's never going to figure this thing

I kind of felt sorry for her.

But that's the thing. See, we got her going now.

She's mad, but she doesn't know what to be mad at.

Drive her crazy.

For long, she's going to want out.

Are you crazy? What are you going to blow up this time? Never mind that.

you got another car already?

Nope, don't have another car.

Look, once is enough, Tom.

I don't want no part of this.

Dwight, the reason I ask you for this stuff is because I expect you to get it

for me.

If I have to get it from someplace else, then I'd have to worry about you, you

know? Because you know I've asked.

Then I'd have to worry about whether or not you're a stand -up guy.

Come on, you know me, man. Yeah.

I'm not going to tell anyone. No, you wouldn't do that, would you?

Well, he says no problem.

We got the cabin for all next week. Yeah, great.

Tom, Bobby's here.

Well, I got you two to make up.

Hi.

Nancy.

I just saw the most fantastic outfit.

They've got one in the window. It's perfect for you.

I don't know. I don't really need anything.

No, no, no. I'm not kidding.

I'm looking in the window at this mannequin, and I thought it was looking

you.

Tom, go ahead. You haven't bought yourself anything in a long time.

I don't need anything, really, Tom. Sure you do. Just look at yourself.

Now, this heat's just worn you down to nothing.

Go on out and buy yourself a dress or something. Do your world good.

Well, maybe, as long as it's not too expensive. Yeah, you don't worry about

that. If it makes you feel good, you buy it. Go on.

I'll get my purse. Okay.

Have fun. Okay, bye.

Bye -bye.

Oh, here it is.

See? It's the kind of thing that would be perfect for you. Bobby, please.

I mean it. Tom likes that kind of stuff. You know he does.

You're such a child.

Why? Well, I mean, on someone your age, this is going to look great, but I ought

to act my age.

Really?

Is that how Tom thinks you should act?

He's such a nice guy.

You're so lucky.

Well, hello, ladies.

Hi. Listen, I just got a call from this guy, Carl, who says he can get me a

great deal on a cherry Mustang, but I got to go see it this evening.

Can you give me a ride, Bobby? Oh, I'll give you a ride. Oh, no, baby. It's a

long drive and you're tired already.

And Bobby's going to Ben's. That's halfway there.

Is that okay with you? No problem. I'll just drop you off. All right. I'll be

back as soon as I can.

How was the shopping?

Good. I got the dress.

All right. Bye.

Bye.

You guys said he had a Mustang, right?

What?

There's no Mustang. Look, just pull in up here. I've got to make a phone call,

all right?

Fine.

Just wanted to know what's going on.

Well, if I wanted you to know what was going on, I'd tell you, wouldn't I?

This car is a real piece of junk. The guy wants $1 ,800 for it. Could you come

pick me it up?

What? Where are you? What happened to Bobby?

Well, she just dropped me off. You know, she's gone. I figured I was going to be

driving a Mustang back. I wouldn't need a ride.

Can anyone give you a lift? I don't even know how to get there.

Well, I wrote out directions. They're on the pad in the drawer next to the

bridge. What'd you write directions out for?

So I could get here, only I forgot them and I had to call the guy.

What the hell difference does it make?

Okay, fine.

I'll be there tonight.

Thanks, John.

I'll wait for you here.

I don't know who they are. I don't have any idea.

I don't think Tom knows.

You have any idea where we could reach husband now, Mrs. Weston?

Tom?

Oh, my God, Tom. He went up to Midland with Bobby.

Bobby?

Bobby's a friend of his.

Of ours.

Bobby? I think I'm going to have an ambulance ticket to the hospital, Mrs.

Weston. I think you ought to be checked. Yo, Raj.

Yes, sir.

What if they try to kill Tom?

You're going to be fine at the hospital, Mrs. Weston. There'll be an officer

there with you. Take her.

What'd you got?

A pipe bomb of some kind.

I found four of them under the car.

Two didn't go off, otherwise she'd be history.

Lucky lady.

It's my wife's car.

I'd say someone's going to be pretty disappointed.

What happened here? All right, let him through.

Your wife's going to be all right, Mr. Weston. She may be in shock, but other

than that, I think she's going to be okay. Thank God. I'm so scared.

You want to tell me where you've been, Mr. Weston?

You want to tell me where my wife is?

Honey, you all right?

I'm fine.

They gave me something.

Tom, I want to go home. Yes, baby, yes.

That's what you need is a good night's sleep.

I was so scared when I saw the car.

You saw the car?

Yeah.

Tom, what are you doing here?

Well, baby, they had the streets all blocked off, and I looked over and I saw

was your car.

did you get here oh oh well when you didn't show up i just got carl to give

ride it's okay baby it's okay you just rest

you just rest thank you detective she seems okay what

yeah i'll be around

Uh, hello, Mr. Gilbert. I know it's late, but, uh, can I speak to Bobby,

Who is it?

Uh, it's just a friend of hers. My name is Scott.

Well, if he's busy, I'll get her to give you a call later. No, no, that's all

right. I'll just, uh, I'll call back later.

Mr. Gilbert, do you, uh, know where Bobby went?

He's talking to the police.

A detective came by the house and said he wanted to talk with her.

Well, of course I know them. They're just about my best friends.

Why don't you tell me where you know them from, Bobby?

Bowling, I think.

Yeah, I met Nancy Bowling. Mrs. Weston, I mean. And we got to talking and I

would go over to her house and that's where I met her husband.

Tell me about tonight.

Nothing really.

I drove him up to Midland, left him off there. He was going to see a guy about a

car. Before Midland?

I went shopping with Mrs. Weston.

You know, if you're not telling me the truth, Bobby, You could be in a lot of

trouble.

Why wouldn't I tell you the truth?

Miss Weston, hi. Rick Costas.

I'm real sorry about bothering you like this, but may I come in?

Thank you.

There's just a few questions we didn't get to last night.

May I sit down?

I was wondering what you were telling me about your husband's relationship with

Bobby Gilbert.

What are you suggesting?

I'm not suggesting anything, ma 'am.

Just, I'm really just asking a question, that's all.

She's a friend of ours.

And you met her bowling, is that right?

Bowling?

Where'd you get that idea?

I'm very misunderstood.

Maybe you could clarify it for me.

She was engaged to a friend of Tom's, Ben Locke, and sometimes we used to go

bowling together. Maybe that's how you got it mixed up.

Yeah, I'm sure that's it.

You know, it's funny, come to think of it, I never saw her there with him.

Could you come to the office with me? I want to talk to you, please.

Not you, Bobby.

It's kind of funny that you're asking me about that, because, I mean, really, I

didn't know what to believe.

Why don't you just tell me what you know?

Well, I don't really know anything, except for what she told me, I mean.

She never really used to go out much, and...

And then she met this guy, and everything changed.

I mean, he was terrific for her.

She started taking care of herself, dressing nice. You know what I mean.

A married guy.

You know, I guess she figured she could handle it.

Do you know what she told me?

She actually told me he married her.

Miss Gilbert, I'd like you to come with me.

And if you know a lawyer, I think you better call them.

Now you listen to me, Bobby.

We're dealing with attempted murder here.

That's a very serious charge.

I didn't have anything to do with it. What was going on between you and Tom

Weston? And I want the truth this time.

We're just friends.

That's all, all three of us.

You married him, Bobby.

That's your marriage certificate.

Now you want to start telling me the truth?

It was our secret.

It was just between the two of us. But he married Nancy.

And he tried to murder her, isn't that right?

If you had anything to do with that, and you don't cooperate with us, you could

be guilty of conspiracy to commit murder.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

All right.

Now... You want to tell me what happened last night?

Hold your horses.

Hey! Hey! Hey, what's going on?

I have a warrant for your arrest on charges of arson, bigamy, explosive...

firearms violations and attempted murder.

You've been planning this for a while, haven't you, Wilson?

You blew up your own car so we'd think there was someone after you. Then you

a bomb under your wife's car.

Bobby Gilbert got your wife out of the house so you could plant the bomb.

She also got you out of town so you could call your wife and make her get in

that car.

How did I do?

Come back out of here.

Tom. Tom.

I'm sorry, but we just can't have this kind of problem here.

I'm afraid we have to let you go about it.

I'll mail you your check.

Do the best that you have to do.

There have never been times when I didn't love you. You must understand

I've made mistakes, and in my confusion, I may have hurt you. You have to know I

never meant to hurt you and never stopped loving you.

He always said he loved me, and I always believed it.

Whatever happened, I always believed it.

I talked to the lawyer you asked me to talk to.

He said no chance at all he can get the bail lowered. I asked him to talk to

Bobby. Yeah, you asked me a lot of things.

I already told you.

Don't sweat it. What'd she say?

Come on, she wouldn't talk to me.

I heard her old man got her a lawyer.

It's okay. It's probably for the best. She's all shook up.

You want my opinion?

She could testify against you.

What about my sister?

Put his name on it.

But you knew he was married.

It was different.

It was just between us.

How could you be so stupid?

You lose a steady job, now you get up at 6 o 'clock every morning and slay the

waitress. He ruined your life.

See, as much as Gilbert, we have a lot of things to go on.

Did you ever talk to him about... I don't know how to put this.

Some kind of future for the two of you?

Sure, all the time.

I mean, that's what we used to talk about, what it was going to be like.

Right, with a wife in his house.

All right, listen.

I know you're all upset about this, but Bobby's facing very serious charges, and

we have a lot of ground to cover.

I think I'd get a better picture if I could talk to Bobby alone.

Go ahead, Mr. David. You're a lawyer. Talk to him. Maybe it'll make best of

All right, I want you to tell me everything that happened, because you're

to have to tell the whole story to the grand jury in a few days.

A few days?

It's just a grand jury, Bobby. It's not a trial.

He's not going to be there and neither am I.

They're going to ask you some questions and you're going to tell them the truth.

That's okay.

I think I can do that.

Good. I just can't testify against Tom, that's all.

Listen to me, Bobby.

He tried to kill his wife. And his wife.

Nancy. He tried to kill Nancy and he used you to set it up. I don't know

anything about that.

But you do know what you did.

That's what you'll have to tell the grand jury. And if it goes to trial,

have to tell them the same thing.

He was using you, Bobby.

You can't see that, can't you? It's not like that. He just... Just what, Bobby?

I can't testify against him.

He's my husband.

A wife can't testify against her husband.

In the first place, that's not true.

You're not really his wife, Bobby? Yes, I am.

You've already told the police. You can't back away from that. They dragged

down there. I was scared. I was terrified.

What if you told him you're going to have to tell him again?

Listen, it's wrong what happened. It's all wrong.

This is your chance to make it right.

I'll be calling you in a few minutes, Bobby.

You know, I can't go in there without you.

No lawyers in the grand jury.

Yeah, I know that.

Remember, all he wants from you is the truth, huh?

Miss Weston, I need you to sign out right here, please.

Is that her?

Yeah, that's his wife, Nancy.

Bobby, you go up and talk to her.

You tell her you didn't have anything to do with what happened.

She hates me.

Go tell her you're sorry.

Go tell her.

The grand jury returned an indictment. The main charge is attempted murder.

Now, I can talk to the prosecutor, see what he's going to offer. Will he

testify?

Yes, sir, she did.

Well, grand jury's one thing. Let's wait and see what happens at the trial.

I haven't seen the minutes yet, but I'm told her testimony could... Let's see

how that testimony stands up at the trial.

I'm pleading guilty to anything.

Yeah, we're finished in here.

So I said to the guy, you got to stand up. You think he does?

No. Cops come, he rolls right over.

He did that to me.

I'd have iced him. Oh, yeah?

Yeah, well, you're in here, pal.

I know some people.

He would have been dead.

Go ahead. Hey, come on, look.

You got to move or you're going to stand there.

Go ahead.

Look out, look out.

What are you doing up there?

Are you okay?

Check it out there.

This

bastard

ruined my daughter's life.

And now he sends some guy to get up there. You don't know that.

Are you telling me it's a burglary?

I got so much valuable stuff. Somebody's robbing the upstairs. Look into it, Mr.

Gilbert. I know what you people think about my daughter.

She's just a tramp.

But you better remember this.

You're going to need her to testify.

If you're ever going to convict that animal, you damn well better look after

her. I'll tell the patrol unit to keep an eye on her.

Yeah, thanks a lot.

What's going to happen now?

We may need your help, Mrs. Weston. Some of the things that happened that night,

Bobby and you were the only people who could tell the jury about that.

The bomb went off. I never thought for one minute that Tom did it. Not for one

minute. But he did, ma 'am.

That's why I need you to testify against him. No, I can't.

witness for your case.

Open the damn door.

Yeah, until the manager comes. Angela!

Angel, he'll kill me!

Open the door!

He loved me.

I know you don't believe that, but he loved me.

Come in.

No, no, no.

He loved Bobby too.

And at first that really ate me up that he loved her more than me.

I'm so confused, but...

There is one thing that I'm sure of.

He loved me. He really did.

He loved me, too.

We really need you to testify.

I want you to think it over.

Will you do that for me?

Behind the counter, sir.

Yeah.

Detective Costas, this is Nancy Weston.

I'm ready to testify.

Thomas Weston, a jury has found you guilty on the charge of assault with

to commit murder.

I sentence you to the maximum allowed by law, 20 years.

It is not generally the practice of this court to impose maximum sentences.

There is almost always in the life of each defendant some quality that leads

to temper our judgment.

In this case, I can find no such quality.

Court is adjourned.

Nancy.

Honey. Why, against me?

I've always loved you. You know that, don't you?

Beauty, you know? I didn't tell that to my face.

But, uh, she doesn't.

She doesn't know what to do with herself.

So I buy her some clothes, you know, change her hair, and she just comes by.

I mean, she really comes by.

I call her Thunderbolt.

She was, uh, she's Thunderbolt.

I'm sagging all flesh. That's what everybody called me.

Like maybe you misplaced it.

And somewhere along the line, you've gotten cold.

You can't remember when, and it's hard for you to face it.

And time has slipped by, and you're getting old.

And you can't deny

it.

Oh, will you ever find it Now you think you're losing it

Wouldn't you like to know
