Hello?

Oh, hey, how are you?

Well, actually, I'm exhausted.

I was up all night helping Nick with his science project.

I swear, I do not remember seventh grade being this difficult for you.

So, of course, we got up late, and we're

rushing around the house, trying to get ready for school, and I'm backing down

the driveway, and who comes down the road but Mary Vance.

I am four houses down, and she's there like a shot, and she's going on and on

about how, you know, hadn't I done this once before in 2003?

I know, I know, and she's always impeccably dressed and made up, and it's

Mary Van's neighborhood gossip, ready and waiting.

Yeah, I could do lunch.

Well, no, wait, you know what? I could, yeah.

No, Nick, he has jazz club after school today, so I don't have to pick him up

till four.

Oh!

Oh, no. The car has to leave.

Yeah, I can do that. One o 'clock?

All right, I'll see you then.

Scott, honey, are you here?

You startled me.

I have an appointment with Mrs. Weiss.

Come in.

I know I'm late, but the traffic was horrific.

Stephen Todd, rare and collectible. I spoke with Mrs. Weiss yesterday about

new pieces and... Is she home?

I'm her nephew, Jake.

Ah, pleasure.

Come in.

You know, unfortunately, my aunt is taking a nap. She had a terrible

all day.

She never mentioned your appointment.

Oh, well, I'm so sorry.

I could come some other time.

She shouldn't be too much longer.

Okay. Thanks.

What's in the case?

Time.

I wish.

No, actually, I deal in coins.

I'm going to get my aunt.

Margaret!

Nick, come on, we're gonna be late.

Morning. Morning.

Did you finish your homework last night?

Finished my homework at school, Mom.

Took all of two minutes.

You're up late.

It's on the internet for a while.

Spending an awful lot of time on the internet lately.

So?

So I just think you should be careful.

I am.

Oh, you know what? There's a message from Paul on the machine.

You should really call him back, Nick. You were such good friends.

Yeah.

Are you making any new friends?

You mean, other than the pedophiles I'm meeting on the internet?

I'll get my backpack.

Okay.

Can you not do that?

This is a no -smoking room.

Do you ever not talk?

You're a crab.

Maybe I should...

What kind of idiot leaves all his stuff in the car?

You know, this guy is going to report his car missing.

We're going to have the cops looking for us.

Dear Steven, I couldn't resist. I picked up those two pre -Civil War coins. They

ended up costing half a million, but I think you will agree they are worth it.

I have them at the house. You can see them this weekend. See you Saturday,

Marvin.

Let me see that.

No, no, the envelope.

This is our retirement, baby.

Dynamic Realty.

I'll put you right through.

No, but I sent you that.

Yeah, well, it should be there in a few days. If you just... No, I know, but

then it's going to cost me more money to have the Internet service turned back

on, so why don't... All right, yeah, yeah.

I understand.

Maybe we should do personal business from home.

Oh, um, I have a few minutes, so... Val, you've been here for two months and you

have yet to list a house.

I know it is difficult to go from being just a housewife to a professional, but

you've got to get over what happened.

I know that you're grieving. Don't.

Don't.

Anyway, I got a call.

475 Wildwood wants to talk to you about his house.

That's your old neighborhood, isn't it? But anyway, it's a great house. The

commission could go as high as $60 ,000.

It's a friend of yours, I assume?

Uh, no, I knew his wife.

Look, Val, this is an amazing opportunity, and one that I would hate

miss.

If you want, I could rearrange my schedule and go out there with you.

Well, I think I can handle it, Charlie.

Oh, okay.

Well, just trying to help.

Yeah, well, thanks very much. I appreciate that.

Anytime.

I can't do it tomorrow.

Look, I'm sorry.

No, I'm going to have to get back to you. I've got to meet somebody. All

I am so sorry I'm late.

Marvin Dolan, pleasure to meet you. Val Spencer, nice to meet you.

Please, come in.

Thank you.

What a beautiful house.

Thank you.

Right this way.

This is a lovely room.

Yeah, my wife did that.

Hey, can I get you anything to drink?

Uh, yes, I thought the water would be nice. You have to pardon the mess. Oh,

Uh, thank you for calling me. Who, uh, who referred you to me? I ran into Mary

Vance.

Oh. Thank you, was a friend of yours. And again, uh, Mary thinks everyone's a

friend of hers.

Yeah.

Well, maybe I should, uh, just give you the tour, huh?

That'd be great. Thank you for the water.

This is obviously the kitchen.

There was a basement over here.

I converted it into a wine cellar.

What's that?

You're a real connoisseur.

No, not really. Just a pack rat.

I can't drink anymore. I have diabetes.

Doesn't stop me from buying.

Drove my wife crazy.

I was so sorry to hear about Mrs. Dolan.

Thank you.

Shall we?

Yeah, yeah.

Hey.

Dude.

I... Hey.

Dude.

Come on.

Come on, man.

Come on, give it back.

No.

It's a beautiful room.

It's been my refuge.

Oh.

A lot of medals.

That just means I was in the service too long.

Oh, you play chess?

Yeah. Yeah,

my son plays chess. On the computer, but still, yeah.

How's Nick holding up?

He's...

You know my son?

Helen always spoke very highly of him.

He's one of her favorite students at Skilling.

I know what it's like, Val, to lose someone.

I'm sorry.

I'd like to start showing the house as soon as possible.

My nephew's coming up this weekend to help me go through things.

He spent a lot of summers here, so it's like a second home to him.

Well, that'll be nice.

I, um, I have some paperwork.

If, uh, if you'd like to fill it out, you know, just, uh... I mean, that is if

you're going to leave the house for this, of course. I mean, just do it at

earliest convenience, and you can always just fax it to me.

I'll do it.

It took you so long. I hate being in this car.

What if a cop sees us? Don't worry about it.

How much did you get?

You know what? There's plenty more where that came from, huh?

Because you transferred here a couple of months ago.

Skilling preparatory.

It's a good school.

Yeah.

4 .0 GPA.

Model UN.

Debate team. Orchestra.

You know, this is not the kind of guy who starts fights.

Want to tell me what happened out there?

Nick, you could be suspended for this.

I'm gonna have to talk to your parents.

Parent.

It's parent.

Val Spencer.

Oh, uh, yeah, that literally just came on the market.

Uh -huh.

Well, what time are you thinking?

Hello? General Dolan, it's Val Spencer.

Hello, Valerie.

Listen, I just got a call. Someone wants to see your house.

Well, that was quick.

Yeah, that's what I said.

Here's the thing. They're only in town for a couple of days, so they'd like to

see it right away. Would 2 o 'clock today be okay?

That only gives me an hour to do all those dishes.

Yeah, it'd be fine.

All right, great.

I'll see you later. All right, go ahead.

Hi. Hello.

My wife and I were driving by. We couldn't help but notice the for sale

didn't mean to bother you, but we were wondering if we might take a quick peek

inside.

We'll be a second. I promise.

Yeah, sure. Marvin Dolan.

Mark White.

This is my wife, Margaret.

Thank you.

Oh, sure.

Please, come on in. It's a beautiful home. Thank you.

Really nice.

I have it at 1234 Welton Way.

No, three bedrooms, and there's a fireplace.

I think there's a bay window in the master suite. I can find out. I can have

that information for you by 3 o 'clock.

Yeah, okay.

Deal. I'll get back to you by 3 .30.

Good thing. Bye now.

Hey, Dylan, could you help me out with something? What can I do for you? What

you want for my life? Oh, well, I just listed my first... Oh, congratulations.

Good for you. Thank you. And the seller wants to move really quickly, so I

thought I would post some photos on her website, but I don't have a digital

camera. Don't say another word.

I just need it back by closing because I have a new listing in the morning.

That's great. Thank you so much. You're welcome.

Hello?

Uh -huh.

Yes, this is she.

Well, is he okay?

Okay, yeah, I'll be right there.

This is the library.

Oh, are you in the army?

I was. I'm retired.

What were you?

I was a major general.

Wow, you don't hear that every day.

Oh, that's pretty.

What is that?

That's so beautiful.

What's that for?

Would you get that?

I'm sorry? The ring. Where'd you get the ring?

The ring's been in my family for generations. I gave it to my nephew.

Don't.

Sit down.

Go sit down.

Sit down.

Make me do something you won't live to regret.

Where's Steven?

What have you done?

Don't worry about your nephew.

What I want to know is where are the coins?

Oh, my God, Jake! What are you doing? Shut up!

You've caused enough trouble today.

Is he dead?

Just go get some tape.

What is he dead?

Just go get some damn tape!

Can you go upstairs and get a dish rag or a washcloth or something?

Your nephew... Your nephew is an alcoholic who talks too much.

I think he was a little sweet on me. Because he told me all about your coin

collection over a friendly game of cards.

See, that's where I won the ring.

I'm a thief, Mr. Dolan, not a murderer.

But you know what?

There's always a first time.

Now, where are the coins?

Where's my nephew?

What is that?

I'm a diabetic.

It's not a man's.

It's perfect.

Okay. You tell me where the coins are, you can have your insulin.

Okay.

All right, General.

My little General.

You know what?

I'm going to leave you alone for a bit.

Give you some time to think.

Jake, I think we should give him his insulin.

I'm serious. I think we could threaten not to give it to him or, you

know, give this like a combination.

Angie, Angie, he was a POW.

I could blow his kneecaps off. He's not going to talk.

The insulin is the only bargaining tool that we have.

But what if he dies?

You know what you're looking for, right?

That's my girl.

You really hurt that kid.

You could have broken his nose.

I was aiming for his throat.

What?

Dad said when... What did your dad say?

Nothing. No, tell me.

Tell me.

He said that if somebody attacks you, the best way to hit them is in their

throat.

That boy attack you?

This isn't like you.

How would you know?

I have a meeting with your counselor in the morning.

He's not my counselor.

Where are we going?

I have to show house.

I want you to come in with me. Come on.

Hi.

Hey there. I hope you haven't been waiting too long.

Oh, no, just got here.

I'm Bill Spencer.

My son, Nick.

Pleased to meet you.

Why don't we just go in?

He just came to check on you.

Should we get that?

Well, you know, he knew that we were coming. He'd probably just been tied up

a key, so... Okay.

General Dolan?

General Dolan?

Hello. Look at the beams in this. Oh, there's the kitchen.

Oh. Yeah, that's the kitchen.

Look at that stove.

Yeah. And this view.

Excuse me. Oh. Can I help you? I'm so sorry. I'm Val Spencer with Dynamic

Realty. We have an appointment with General Dolan to see the house.

Yeah. My uncle's not here right now.

You're his nephew. Yes, he mentioned that you would be coming.

Stephen Todd, and this is my wife, Angie.

Nice to meet you.

This is Sally Emerson and my son, Nick.

I just saw your uncle this morning, and we arranged to meet. It was last minute,

so... Unfortunately, Marvin's sister has taken a turn for the worse. She's going

to be with her in Santa Barbara.

Oh, well, it'll just take two minutes. I promise.

Sorry, that's... Could you call your uncle? Do you have a cell phone number?

I guess we could call?

No, you had an appointment. That's fine.

Angie, honey, do you think you could show the ladies around the house?

Good. So I would prefer if you could keep yourselves to the downstairs. My

left in a real hurry this morning, and I'd rather not have anyone going through

the upstairs bedroom, if that's okay.

No, of course, of course.

Well, off you go.

Honey, honey, there you go. Okay. Yep, that's the way.

Okay. Thank you. Sure.

So, uh, this is the library.

Hey, got a phone on you, old man? Huh? Do you?

He's a general.

Uh, yeah.

I bet he knows my uncle.

In fact, my whole family was in one war or another.

Funny, going all the way back to General Washington himself.

My cousin Steve did two different tours of duty in Vietnam, and then my cousin

John... Oh, um... I'm sorry, I... I got it, I got it.

No, no!

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. It's okay.

I'm so sorry.

That's okay. Let me get it.

Uh, did... Did, uh, did General Dolan say when he was coming back?

I don't know. He didn't say anything to me.

Um, you could ask... my husband.

Okay.

Well, this is one beautiful house.

I would just love it if my husband could come take a look.

The Emersons are going back to Atlanta tomorrow afternoon.

Just take two minutes. I promise.

I don't have a problem with that, but why don't you call in the morning?

That way I can see what my uncle's doing. We may not even be here.

Thank you very much. And please tell your uncle how sorry I am about his

I will.

Oh, you know what? I almost forgot something. There's a wine cellar here, a

nice one.

Is there a key?

I'm sure there is, but I have no idea where it is.

And my uncle was very private about his cellar.

He didn't like people going down there.

Well, he showed it to me this morning.

Well, he must have really taken a liking to you.

Um, all right. Well, I'll just, I'll put on speaking with you later.

Okay.

Angie, honey, can you show the ladies out?

Where are the coins?

I think we should get him his medicine.

He never saw it coming, did he?

And no fair fight in you, you coward.

My nephew.

play cards.

Your boyfriend killed him.

Took that ring you like so much.

Andrew, baby, I want you to go upstairs, okay?

I think we need to give him some water.

I want you to go upstairs.

Sweetie, I really think we need to give him some water.

Everything's okay.

I want you to go upstairs, okay?

You like my little girlfriend, huh?

Of course you do.

What's not to like?

Yeah.

She's a honey, that one, isn't she?

I thank my lucky stars every day for her.

I don't think I could live with myself if something

happened to her.

How about you?

You think you could... live with yourself or something bad happen to her?

I'll come back for your answer.

You got ten minutes, old man.

You know, if I can sell this house, we'll be okay.

I mean, I can pay off some bills and, I don't know, maybe we can splurge and get

cable or something.

Maybe we could even send you back to Skilling in the fall.

Maybe.

Oh damn, I forgot to take pictures.

Do you have your key?

Always. All right, go do your homework and I'll pick up Jader on the way home,

okay? Okay. Okay.

What are you doing?

I thought you were supposed to be upstairs looking.

I think maybe that realtor lady saw something.

Really? There was blood all over the floor where I hit his head.

Did she say anything?

No.

I covered it pretty quick.

Sounds safe.

I want to get him some water.

I need to get him some water.

Damn it.

We need to get his medicine.

He could die.

Mr. Dolan.

Hey, Mr. Dolan.

Can you tell me where your medication is?

Library. Bathroom.

There's no insulin.

I dropped it.

Well, his pharmacy's on 3rd.

Go get Tom.

Can I help you?

Oh!

You scared me.

I'm sorry. What are you doing here?

I thought we agreed to talk in the morning.

I know that we did, and I'm really sorry to bother you again, but, um... Well,

your uncle said he wanted to sell the house fairly quickly, so I thought I

get some photos for our web page.

Maybe we could do this tomorrow.

Would it be okay if I just took some quick shots of the exterior?

It'll only take a second.

Fine. Great. I'll be really quick.

I'm sorry to bother you again.

Can I help you?

Um, I have a little problem.

Well, hopefully I can help you out with that.

It's not me. It's my uncle, actually.

I need to pick up his medication, but I don't...

I don't have his prescription with me.

Is he on file with us?

I believe so.

What's his name, please?

Marvin Dolan.

Oh.

I didn't know Marvin had a niece.

Oh, it's not me. It's my husband.

Actually, I'm... He's his nephew, I mean.

You mean Stephen?

Yeah.

That's, uh... Great.

Thanks.

Are you referring to Marvin's diabetes?

Uh -huh. You do not need any prescription for insulin anymore.

Great.

Okay. Got what you need?

Uh, yeah.

We'll talk tomorrow, I suppose.

All right, great. Um, well, thanks again.

Okay.

Well, did you get it?

I think he's in a coma.

We should bring him upstairs.

No, let's go.

Come on.

Della, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

Oh, God.

Let me just download these and I'll go quickly.

Thanks again for waiting, Della. No problem. As long as you got what you

Oh, nice house.

What's it looking for?

1 .5.

Oh, nice commission.

You about done?

Yeah. Yeah.

I'm sorry.

Thank you so much. You are very welcome. And congratulations again. Thanks. Good

night. Good night.

What did he mean if his nephew wasn't a card player?

I don't know.

Why would he say that? It doesn't make sense.

Can you just give it a rest?

Please?

General Dolan, this is Val Spencer, your realtor.

Please give me a call.

555 -0121.

Thank you.

No, no, don't transfer me. Don't transfer me, okay? I've been on hold for

hour, man.

Wait, not up to date?

Well, then why would I be working fine this morning?

I mean, there's got to be a mistake.

Hey, sweetie. Sorry I'm late.

Did you eat? I forgot to stop. I got so busy.

I'll put this in the car.

What happened to our internet service?

What?

I tried getting online and it said we have no access.

Oh, yeah, there was some sort of error. The cable company said they didn't

receive my payment. Yeah, right.

What? Nick!

No, it's the one thing I like to do.

The one thing.

You know, you were always on me about it.

So what do you do?

You don't talk to me about it? No. No, you just stopped paying for it.

You did it on purpose.

That's just true.

Yes, you did.

You don't want me to have anything.

That is not true. What is the matter with you?

You know, I can't stay at my old school.

I can't see my old friends.

We live in this box.

Stop it, okay? Why can't we stay in our old house? Huh?

Why? Nick.

I want to know. We could have stayed at our house. He had life insurance. I know

he did. No, we couldn't. You got insurance money.

Nicholas. You did. Stop it right now. We could have stayed at our house. No, we

couldn't have. Why?

We could not have stayed at our house. Why? Because I don't give you money when

someone commits suicide.

Okay.

I'm sorry. Leave me alone. No.

Go. Go.

See you later.

Hey, Johnny.

Got some homework.

Mrs. Spencer?

Come on in.

Did you know that your son is failing in history and geometry?

No.

He also had a lot of absences.

I didn't know that.

I got the impression from Nick that his father is not in the picture.

Uh, no. Nick's father is deceased.

I'm sorry.

Must be very hard for you, raising a child alone.

Well, it's been difficult for both of us.

How long ago did his father die?

You okay?

I'm fine. Thank you.

Nick's father died, um, eight months ago.

May I ask how he died?

If you'd rather not. No, no.

Nick's father committed suicide.

It's a lot for a kid to handle.

Talking to anyone?

Um, I took him to a therapist for a couple of months, but she wanted to put

on medication.

I couldn't do that.

Why?

His father had been on antidepressants, and I always thought that maybe that had

something to do with his death.

Is Nick still in therapy?

No, no.

No, I am.

I can't afford it, so...

Does he talk to you about what happened?

We don't seem to be able to talk about much of anything.

Has it always been that way?

No, no.

No, we are.

We were always very close, actually. I was... I was very involved with his

school. PTA, sports, everything. And there was Scott.

That's Nick's father. He was... He was very close to me. His father, he just...

They did everything together.

He loved that boy.

It's funny, you know.

You never see something like that coming.

For months after it happened, I... I couldn't sleep.

My mind kept searching for that.

little piece that would somehow make it all fit.

But now it's also clear, you know, all those warning signs, all those little

pieces.

Always, always here, always in my head.

But then, it was happening in front of me, and...

I saw none of it.

Sort of like now, I suppose, my son.

I'm sorry.

Nick has study hall in sixth period.

With your permission, I'd like to broach the subject with him.

Um, okay. That would be great.

I'm sorry.

Val Spencer.

You know what? He hasn't called me back yet, Sally. I was just about to try

again.

Yeah, I will. All right. Bye -bye.

Hi, Mr. Todd. This is Val Spencer with Dynamic Realty.

Could you please call me back on my cell?

555 -0121.

All right. Thank you very much.

Hey there, stranger.

Mary, how are you? I'm fine. We miss you guys. Well, we miss you, too.

How's Nick?

Where are you living now?

We're over off of Anita Street.

By the old Sears?

Oh, the people who bought it are very nice. He's in insurance, I think. And I

can't figure out if he has a job. I have a time crunch. I have an appointment I

have to make. Oh, I'll let you go then. Okay. Oh, did Marvin Dolan call you?

Yes, he did. As a matter of fact, that's why I'm in the neighborhood. He hired

me. Thank you so much, Mary. Don't mention it. Boy, he's had a tough time,

He's a nice old guy, isn't he? Yeah. I mean, I only met him once. I've been

dealing with his nephew.

Stephen? He's here?

Yeah, yeah. General Dolan was called away. His sister's ill.

Stephen's mom?

No, no, the other sister.

But Marvin only has one sister.

Well, no, I'm pretty sure Mr. Todd said it was his sister.

Well, I guess he ought to know.

I thought he just had the one sister.

Anyway, you want to come in for a cup of coffee?

No, you know what, I can't. I really do have to get going, but thank you again.

Okay, well, good to see you. Good to see you, too.

Thanks a lot. I hope everything works out.

Thank you.

Mrs. Spencer.

Haven't seen you in a while.

No, no, we moved.

I need a refill.

Of course.

Hello?

Oh, Sally, I am so sorry.

No, I left another message at the Dolan house, but... No, the nephew never gave

me his cell number, and... Yeah, yeah, I do have your number in Atlanta, but I'm

going to keep trying, okay?

All right, well, yeah, have a great flight.

All right, bye -bye. You're selling the Dolan house?

Yes, I am.

His nephew's wife was in here yesterday.

Not quite sure what that gal is doing hanging out with him.

I mean, he's a nice guy and everything, but you've met Stephen?

Yeah, I have. Well, he's not what you might call the marrying type.

Unless, of course, his wife's name is Bob, if you get my drift.

Would that be all for today?

What did she buy?

I beg your pardon? His wife.

What did she buy?

Oh, a Marv needed some more insulin.

He's in the house.

General Marvin Dolan, 475 Wildwood Road.

The man says that he's his nephew, but there are all these things that make me

think that he is lying. I mean, first of all, General Dolan is called away

suddenly to see a sister whom I don't believe exists.

He doesn't take his medication, but he's a diabetic.

And now I find out that the nephew is gay.

No, no, I don't think it's a hate crime.

I'm his realtor, but... But, no, look, I know this sounds crazy, but... No, I

don't want to fill out a missing persons report. I think he's still in the

house.

That's the best you can do.

Fine. All right, fine. Thank you.

General Dolan?

He locked the door.

But I found your keys.

I brought you some orange juice. I heard it was good for diabetics.

You're in danger.

No.

No, he's not like that.

Why don't you just give us the combination to the safe and we'll be out

Please, I promise I won't let him hurt you again.

What's a girl like you done with him?

Where's your family?

I'm a foster kid.

Jake's the only family I've ever known.

God damn it!

Angie.

Oh my God, Orange, you're so low for me.

I'm sorry, I gotta go.

Hello? Yes,

Val Spencer told me Stephen Todd was here.

I'm Stephen Todd.

Look, if you want to see the house, you have to go through Miss Spencer, okay?

Sorry to bother you.

Sheriff's Department, how may I direct you?

Hello?

Hello?

Angie?

What are you doing? What? Get out!

Come on!

Get out!

Angie, was someone else in the house?

What do you mean?

Was somebody else in the house?

You're hurting me.

What did you do?

Jake, what happened?

Excuse me, ma 'am. What happened?

No, no, I'm a friend. What happened?

Is that the detective in charge?

Yeah, ma 'am. Excuse me.

No, please, look. It's very important that I talk to you. What's going on?

Please. It's all right. Let her go.

How can I help you? I'm a realtor. I have been working with General Marvin

down the street.

Now, yesterday, Mr. Dolan disappeared, and a man who claims to be his nephew is

staying at the house. What do you mean, disappeared?

Well, the nephew, or the man pretending to be the nephew, said that there was a

family emergency. But I started noticing all of these strange things around the

house. I mean, General Dolan's car is still in the garage, and he's a

But I found his insulin kit on the bathroom counter, and I found blood on

floor in the library.

How do you know all this?

Well, I was showing the house.

I see. So you think this guy broke in, did something violent to the owner, but

decided it was still okay for the real person to show the house?

Crazy, please. And what has this all got to do with Mrs. Baines? She knows, the

nephew. I spoke with her not more than two hours ago and told her that he was

the house. I mean, she would know if he was an imposter, right? Maybe she went

there. I don't know, but something has happened.

Translator will be here in 15 minutes. Look, this will just take you two

minutes. Look, I'm right in the middle. Please, please.

What if I'm right, okay?

What if I'm right?

Please. Let me know when he gets here. All right, where's the house? I'll show

you. What happened to Mary?

Gardner heard her scream.

Found her at the bottom of the basement stairs, neck broken.

Oh, my God.

One of the bodies was identified as Margaret Weiss, who appears to have been

strangled to death.

Mark Weiss. This is my wife, Margaret.

Police have not identified the male victim as of this morning. Both were

floating in the water just off Cedar Point.

Investigation underway. We'll keep you posted.

Doesn't look like we'll need your buddy's combination after all.

So what are we gonna do with him?

I mean, we're not gonna hurt him or anything, right?

Jake.

What did you think, huh?

Did you think we were just gonna come in here and con him into giving us the

coins and then leave?

Just drive away?

You didn't think that maybe he could ID us?

Come on.

I didn't think... I know you didn't think. That's the problem. You don't

I don't know.

Doesn't matter.

An hour from now, I'll be out of here.

You make yourself scarce and you don't come out until whoever this is leaves.

Mr. Todd? Yes.

I'm Detective Sosa, Sheriff's Department.

What can I do for you?

Well, we've had some break -ins in the area, and Miss Spencer expressed some

concern about your uncle.

Well, I was very thoughtful of her, but my uncle hasn't returned yet.

I'm sorry?

The garage door. You want to open it, please?

Sure.

No problem.

Thanks. Sorry for the disturbance. Look, he moved it.

There's nothing going on in that house.

He was fine with me looking around.

His ID looks good. Look, he even gave me his business card.

I called him with cell phone when you were in the house. Did you hear it? No.

Now, I'm sorry, but... That is not Stephen Todd. You've got to believe me.

I'll run his name, all right? If anything comes up, I'll follow it.

Best I can do.

Where is it? Huh?

What are you doing? What are you doing? Yeah.

Son of a bitch.

Right here.

Uh, what about them?

Well, I work at a gallery in Los Angeles, and we need to verify that one

employees is who he says he is.

But we don't sell to galleries.

Exactly.

We've had a lot of fraud recently, and we think that this man may be trying to

assume one of your sales rep's identities, pass us some worthless

you describe a man named Steven Todd?

No. Why not?

I'm new, and nobody else is here right now.

Besides, our sales reps don't come into the office every day.

Okay, great. I'm going to send you a picture of the gentleman that we're

with. And if you could show it to one of your co -workers, maybe they could tell

us if it's Stephen Todd.
