You didn't tell me there was a granddaughter.

For God's sake, you said she was the sole surviving member of the family.

You said no one would care when she died.

I know what I said.

Shirley Harrison has been missing for 30 years.

How was I supposed to know she'd turn up out of nowhere?

What if she wants to move her?

Do you have any idea what would happen to me if another doctor saw that medication schedule?

You can't let her leave the hospital.

Sedate her and we'll admit her as a patient.

We'd be open to a malpractice suit.

For God's sake, Tal, when you're worried about malpractice, what about murder?

Mrs. Harrison is 94 years old and in very poor health to begin with.

Still murder when you pull the plug on her.

And as soon as she's dead, we can kill Shirley.

No, I won't do it.

You'll do it.

You can't be accused of killing a person who's been dead for 30 years now.

Can you?

She's one of our favorites here at the hospital.

(soft)

Cheryl, go home.

Mom told me to come play with you.

She did not.

You did not!

Yeah, she might be able to save you.

- Yeah, she microwaved them. - Come on, Cheryl. What are you waiting for?

Keep going. Don't let her see you. She's got a shotgun in there.

Hey!

- Let me go! - Let me go!

This is private property. You can't ride your bikes here.

- Mrs. Harrison doesn't live here anymore. - Since when?

- Yeah, did she sell it? - None of your business.

I'll get the hell out of here, all of you, before I get my shotgun.

Shoot you for trespassing.

- What a jerk. - Really?

Ah, we're leaving, okay?

Come on.

- I wonder what that was all about. - I'll bet I can get wrapped in it.

No. Wait a minute, that's Cheryl's bike.

Cheryl?

Cheryl?

Wait up! What are you so scared of?

I'm not scared, I want to call Gallagher before I leave work.

Great, then he can write a story and call an unidentified miner.

That's what he's got to do. It's not his fault.

I'll bet something bad happened to Miss Harrison.

Really? Well, could you tell her to land to the Esplanade?

Right, after all that junk they've built everywhere.

We'll use Ralph to find out.

I wasn't scared either.

Yeah? Then why'd you scream?

It's a closest name when you see a dead person. Everybody knows that.

Sure.

Wait up! I want to see Ralph too!

Mom, we found your skeleton!

Turkin.

Pay over AT.

Turks, turks.

What's the deal?

(mysterious)

- Sir Ken, hello, dear Andy.

- What's that in your mouth?

- Sir Ken, hello, and welcome.

I'm on the ride.

That kid has logged on the system again.

It's okay I gave him a password he could use. You think it's funny? Look what he's

done to your story. Richie I've got a deadline.

Damn.

Slate this is the most important project I have ever managed. You let some kids in

a dog? Wait a minute. He's not a dog. This is better than what we had planned. It's more

convincing that we can move the timetable up. Kids that are dogs! I love it!

Yum-pum-pum-pum-pum-pum-dee-dee. Yum-pum-pum-pum-pum-pum-pa-da-dee-dee. La-ta-ta-da-dee-dee.

Any idea what's going on here?

So far, she was female, older than 15, about 5'2", thin frame, maybe 95 pounds.

She died at least 30 years ago.

30 years ago? Wait a minute. I did a story about six months ago on the Harrison family.

They were some of the first settlers in the valley.

You know who I bet this is? Shirley Harrison.

Old Mrs. Harrison's granddaughter. She disappeared in 1952. She never was found.

I dug up an article on her in the morgue.

in the files of the Gazette.

This is terrific.

Bertie, I just might owe you one this time.

Shirley Harrison, after all these years.

But what's she doing buried in the backyard?

Yeah, with no coffin.

Hi, I'm Kyle.

Great ham, poetry in motion.

What are you guys doing?

Nothing.

All right, here it is.

- Hey, you can't say that NASCAR bought the Houston estate.

- 'Cause they didn't buy it.

Look, there's been no change in ownership since 1903.

- That's a guy who has a building permit or something.

What if we check the county computer?

- Or NASCAR's computer.

- Or NASCAR's computer.

If you want to know, why don't you just request a meeting at NASCAR?

You know, we own an Indian, face-to-face.

Yeah, we could do that.

Hi, kids. Good morning. Good morning.

Hi, Alice.

(soft piano)

- Hi, Al.

- Hi, Ham.

- We're going to do what you suggested.

- Great, good luck.

- Well, I was wondering if you'd like to come with us.

- Sure.

- Oh.

Oh.

OK, great.

- Are you all right? - Yeah, oh, I'm OK.

Nascorp Construction.

Harrison Hills will be a planned community embracing the three pillars of human society.

Home.

Work.

Play.

A community designed for maximum growth potential with minimum disruption of the natural environment.

We at Nascorp are people people.

we always take the needs of the people as our first priority in any new development.

So, that about sums it up. I still don't understand one thing. Does Nascorp own the Harrison State?

Well, not exactly. Not yet. You see, Alma Harrison has been gravely ill for some time,

and while she's been in the hospital, the taxes on the property have fallen into default. The

The state has a lien on it.

I am very sorry to say that she is not expected to live.

And when she dies, the state will auction the property.

Auction it to Mass Corps.

Yes, we expect to be the highest barrier.

I have another appointment.

If you will excuse me, good luck on your civics project.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Anyone who uses one word of that, raise your hand.

Bye.

Bye-bye.

- Take care, now. - Okay, thanks a lot.

Glad you came by, good luck.

- It's the same kids that found the bones.

- Damn.

- Yes, sir.

- Those kids still love dizzers, Clark, didn't they?

Give them to Lazenby down at EDP,

have her run their names through the host computer.

- Yes, sir.

- This damn project's gonna make me

seem the vice president,

and nobody's gonna get in its way.

I wanna know everything there is to know

about them and their parents.

Move!

- That's right here. - Okay. Thanks very much.

- Are you sure? - Okay, I'll put this thing on for one second, okay?

- Okay. - Hey, man. I need some dough.

- Okay. Okay. - Hey. Hey.

- I found her! I found her! - We found her! We found her!

She's in the study cell down the left and I'll have to go down now.

I'm sorry, Mrs. Harrison is not allowed to have visitors.

Well, can we have our visitor cards back, then?

I'm afraid not.

Well, company policy.

footsteps

breathing

Are we sure we want to do this?

- Yeah, come on. - Got you.

- They could have her locked up in there. - Really? This place is creepy.

Now, how are we going to find out what room she's in?

- Harrison, I found her.

To her.

She doesn't look very old.

- That can't be her.

- Hi, can I help you?

Who are you looking for?

- Mrs. Harrison, Alma Harrison.

- Oh, she's in 240, other hall.

Come on.

She's in a coma. She's surprised us for letting her have visitors.

- How long has she been with us? - Nearly six months. Any relatives?

No, not really.

We just want to ask her a question.

Is there any chance that Ossoff will come out of it?

Hey, what's up there?

- Some kind of clubhouse? - Yeah.

Oh, okay. I gotta go.

Wait!

You didn't say you couldn't join the club.

Are you asking me to?

Yes. If you pass the initiation...

Initiation?

What is your name?

- Alice. - What sex are you?

I'm a girl.

- What sex are you? - Oh, it's the computer, isn't it?

- The email. - Is that better?

- What are your measurements? - Oh, come on.

- Never mind, Ralph. - Thank you.

Look into my camera, please.

This is what you look like to me.

What is all this stuff?

It's Ralph.

I built him.

You're a real computer nerd, aren't you?

Don't you know anything?

I'm not a nerd, I'm a hacker.

Pretty awesome, huh?

I guess.

- So, am I in the club or not? - Oh, well, you have to ask Raoul.

Go on. Just say, "Raoul, can I join this club?"

Raoul, can I join this stupid club?

Welcome to the club, Alice.

- All right! - All right! Hey, you're in! Great!

Congratulations. Raoul must really like it.

- What is it, Lazenby? - Oh, I thought you'd want to know.

Those four names you had me check on. What about them?

I did a system-wide cross-reference.

They've shown up at the Sunnydale Hospital.

I can see one of the patients and, uh, Alma Harrison.

- That'll be all, Lazenby. - Yes, sir.

Give me Dr. Tellman at Sunnydale Hospital.

- It's in the second section. - I know where it is.

There.

- So? - So they killed her.

- Who killed her? - Nascore.

- They could get her lamp from the stage. - And Bill Harrison Hill.

Kids, she was 94 years old. She could have died any time.

Yeah, but she died yesterday, right after we went to see her, and right on schedule.

Gallagher, I know we sent you on a wild goose chase that one time, but this one's serious.

There's a big story here.

You guys are on the wrong track. I just finished writing this for tomorrow's edition.

Look!

The remains of a young woman found earlier this week on the Harrison estate

have been identified by the coroner's offices belonging to Shirley Harrison.

A search of the dental records confirmed the identification according to an official spokesman.

Surely Harrison apparently died at the hands of a brutal murder in the early 1950s.

See, Nascore didn't have to kill Alma to get her land. There were no surviving relatives anyway.

All right, tell me this. What would have happened if Miss Harrison had died and Shirley was still missing?

Your state would have been held up in probate for seven years.

Because that's how long it takes to declare someone legally dead, right?

But if you find a skeleton, then they're dead right away.

What are you trying to suggest?

That someone from NASCAR went out and found a skeleton that just happened to be the same size, height, sex, and age as Shirley Harrison?

Who just happened to die about the same time Shirley disappeared?

Dug up the grave, took the skeleton, and planted it on these things.

Yeah, why not? I mean, it's possible with that much money at stake.

How much money is a development like that worth to NASCAR?

It's worth millions.

No, no, no. Wait a minute. What about the dental records?

Well, they could have been switched easy.

No. Forget it. You guys have been watching too much television.

Out!

What if we could prove it?

Could we prove it?

Well, if we found the grave they dug up, there was no body.

to all the county records computerized.

All we have to do is search through the databases

for teenage girls that are around 1952,

then just compare about six weeks till we find a match.

- Could Ralph do that?

- Yeah.

Ritchie.

Mom, you don't have to scare me.

Sorry.

Your sister and I were wondering if you were going to join us for dinner this evening.

I'm really kind of busy. Do I have to?

I guess not.

- Did you do your homework? - Yes.

- And all your chores? - Yes, ma'am.

- What was that for? - Punishment.

- Hey, ma'am? - Hmm?

Could you bring me something up here to eat?

Richie, what do you think that is?

playing

Boss, see you some time tonight.

playing

How many names do you think match?

(footsteps thudding)

- Only one.

- Well, now that we've got a name, what do we do with it?

- We go dig up the grave.

- You're kidding.

We'll go tonight.

We'll meet here at eight o'clock.

She was buried in 1953. Her name changed to Porter. She moved to Europe in 1965.

She flew here directly from Paris. We checked the airline ticket.

No one in Paris knew her under the name Harrison.

And that isn't enough for you.

Shirley Harrison is legally and officially dead.

I can increase her doses slowly.

It'll take a few days, but at least there's not likely to be a problem with an autopsy.

There won't be an autopsy.

I don't like this. The old woman was dying anyway.

We're all dying, Talon.

Some of us are just dying sooner than others.

It's sudden death, and...

He makes it!

Yeah! He makes both it out!

Hey, can you take a note for him?

Oh, my God! Can I bring a present home?

Why not? He'll probably watch it next month.

It's all right if I spend the night at Ritchie's house.

Make sure you get your homework done.

Hey, it's funny. Don't stay up too late and don't let that Ritchie advocate...

I won't, Mom. Bye-bye.

What the hell is this?

Sam, the insurance company canceled our car insurance.

Do you believe that?

I've known this company 50 years. Why are they canceling on me now?

Remember them? They were looking for Mrs. Harrison.

How'd they get in?

I don't know. I just assumed it was special like that.

How did they know what room she was in?

Oh, they didn't. They were at the other room when I found them.

- What other room? - Shirley Harrison's room.

It was a natural mistake.

I hope I did the right thing.

I hope I did.

What if they tell someone they saw Shirley Harrison?

Those kids could put us in prison for the rest of our lives.

They don't know they saw Shirley Harrison.

I've got plenty of ways to take care of those kids.

Slate, we've got a problem.

Are you okay?

Yes.

Are you all right up there?

Of course I am.

Why, shouldn't she?

What are you going to do if she's not here?

Jump up and protect her?

Could you two set up a date?

Good idea.

All right. Oh, God.

What's that noise?

Let's get the coffin open.

If you say anything to Mom, I'm going to stuff you in this coffin.

If you say anything to mom, I'm going to stuff you in this coffin and I'm going to leave you there overnight.

All alone.

Coffins?

Oh, God.

Let's go.

Let's call the police.

No, let's call Gallagher, then we can call the police.

Uh-uh, what if we tell the police and they think we stole the skeleton?

I want to go home!

Can you go to jail for grave robbing?

Wait a minute, if the bones we found aren't Shirley Harrison's, then what happened to

Shirley Harrison?

- She might still be alive. - Wow, if we could find her.

I don't know what NASCORP's up to.

She's the real owner of the land. She could stop them.

- Yeah, I'd bet Gallagher would find her just like that. - I wanna go home!

Look, we have to fill the grave back in. Why don't you take Show home for me?

Then tomorrow morning before school, we'll meet, we'll call Gallagher, figure out what to do.

- Okay. - Well, if Uncle Wizard...

Well, look, they shouldn't be riding their bikes all alone at night.

My hero.

Cheryl, don't say anything to Mom.

Remember, you snuck out of the house, and you're only seven years old.

Wait a minute.

What? Remember when we went to the hospital?

We went to the wrong room, the name was Harrison, but the wound wasn't old enough.

Yeah?

What if that was Shirley Harrison?

And they're going to kill her too.

Get that man off the ground.

You're more than what I called you.

Run!

- Should I call the police about your slave? - No, I'll take care of him.

I just want you to fill in this grave.

You kids make any trouble, this time you are going to get shot and killed.

Cut it loose.

All right, kids, why don't you tell me everything from the beginning?

If you don't, you're going to be in more trouble than you've ever imagined.

Sure. Why don't you take us to the police, so we can tell them how you killed Ms. Murrah!

These rooms are soundproof. We'll keep them here for a while.

We've got a chemical dumping site in the harbor.

We'll need a band to carry the bodies. Those kids aren't ever going home again.

They're going to kill her.

They have to.

Who am I seeing now?

Local network.

There's just quite a few of them.

- There it is. - Jeremy, hurry up, help.

Come on, Jeremy.

Beeping

But you don't have the password.

I know.

Beeping

Sure, I'll write a program that will try every password until it finds when it works.

Well, how long is this going to take?

I don't know. It could take days.

Great, and we'll be dead.

Something's happened to them. I know it. We should've waited longer.

Look, if they're not there by the end of the first period, we'll get help.

If something's gonna happen to us, we don't go in.

Hi.

Maybe if I can screw up things enough, we can get out of here.

Building maintenance. Air conditioning. Optimum temperature. How about 120? Temperature you have entered exceeds normal range.

Please confirm that this is a correct value.

Go for it.

Hey, the phone's computerized.

I'll set off the fire alarm.

And then the sprinkler system.

I'll take care of all three bodies, you just make sure it's really dead by the time I get there.

Paul! Paul!

Tell 'em what's going on here.

- Come on, follow your way.

PLAYING

What are you doing?

I'm part of the hospital.

It is a really, really urgent.

It is urgent.

We've got to get to Sunnydale Hospital.

Damn it, Richie.

Is Shirley Harrison alive at Sunnydale Hospital?

We've got to do something.

We've got to do something.

My brother's got a car. I know where he keeps his spare key.

- Can you drive it? - Sure.

That's crazy.

I've never driven down the freeway before.

Speed up. You're going too slow.

- Anybody in there?

Anybody in there?

Anybody in there?

(screaming)

Come on!

Come on!

- Come on! - I got you, I get you!

- We did it! We did it! - We did it!

We gotta get to the hospital. This way!

There, are you satisfied?

Where is he?

The patient in this room has been discharged.

Now, you don't leave immediately. I'll call the police.

Go ahead.

Excuse me, nurse. What happened to the lady who was in this room?

Why, I just saw Dr. Tellman take her down to physical therapy in the basement.

- Discharge time! - Discharge time!

- This way! - Yes, Your Honor!

Stop him!

Steal him!

What's your name?

- What is your name? - Shirley Porter.

Shirley Harrison Porter? Harrison Porter?

- Yes, I am Shirley Harrison Porter. - We found her!

- We found her! - We found her!

- We found her! - We found her!

Miss Roscoe? Miss Roscoe, my name is Gallagher with the Gazette.

I understand you're going to be charged with murder. Any comment?

Is it true a group of junior high school students are responsible for exposing you?

What will this do to NASCAR's plans to develop Harrison Hills?

Oh, that's a good question.

That's a good question.

San Jose, San Francisco.
