Oh, look at this. Home sweet home. I bet

the Jacksons left this behind for us.

That's why they left it turned against

>> How much would a baby like that cost?

>> I'm going to start them at 550. Dwayne,

They don't allow no loud motors on the

lake.

>> It doesn't have a motor, Mr. Fleman.

>> I just thought I'd tell you. We had a

couple of city kids last summer. They

tried to set up a speedboat concession.

You remember that, Dwayne?

>> Yeah. We booted them out fast. We got

rid of them.

>> Yeah.

>> And poor little Kathleen Fitz Simmons.

When her sailing boat overturned, it hit

her smack on top of the head. Never been

quite right since.

>> The boards are foam filled. Looks like

Tom Hawk Lake's going to make you a lot

of money.

>> Hope so.

>> Hi.

>> Hi.

>> Evening folks.

>> Hi.

>> Evening. We're just passing through. We

took a little shortcut through your

woods there. Name's uh Bryce. Malcolm

Bryce.

>> Ah. Uh Chuck Yman. And this

>> Oh, he knows who you are, Chuck.

>> You're the wind surfer fella.

>> Yeah. [laughter]

>> Word travels uh fast around here,

>> don't it though?

>> Say, how about a nice little bunny for

your supper?

>> Oh, thank you. No.

>> Oh, it's no trouble. I got a real nice

one in here.

>> Sick.

>> No, no, no, no, no. Please. No.

My lady is the same way. Squeamish.

>> Looks like it might cloud up and rain a

little bit this afternoon.

Getting a little dark up there.

>> Come on along, Malcolm.

>> Come on along.

>> Oh, yeah. Uh, well, if you folks need

anything, just holler. I live right over

there next to Dwayne and Ruthie.

>> Nice meeting you.

>> Bye.

>> Bye,

>> boy. Honey, aren't they right off an old

cover of the Saturday Evening Post?

>> You dancing, devil.

>> Give me your answer. things too.

>> Thanks, Dad.

>> Did it come yet?

>> Huh? The bus is supposed to be here at

7:30.

>> 7:45. Maybe we missed it. I can't be

late on day one.

>> Mr. Sloan always forgets this route.

Last year he missed Tomach Lake 12

times.

Excused absences.

>> Yeah. Great, huh?

>> Yeah. 12 times.

Get ready.

Woo! Oh, it's cold. Oh.

Oh, yeah. Having some fun now.

Damn weeds.

So,

you claim you picked up a dead body?

>> No, I didn't pick it up. It got stuck on

my leg. I dragged the camp thing. And

you called me. And just a few minutes

later, that body picked itself up and

walked away.

>> It wasn't a whole body.

>> Oh well, Mr. Yman, sir, you know what

could have been was those tall weeds out

there. I mean, this lake is full of

them.

>> It was human.

I left the thing right here. I went back

to my place. I called you guys. I made

myself a drink. Is

>> that before or after you saw the body?

after.

>> Chuck.

Chuck.

>> It's all right.

>> What is going on? Huh?

>> Hey, afternoon ma'am.

>> Hello.

>> I'm Glenn Boon, Sheriff of Tomahawk.

This year's my deputy, John Bryce.

>> Yeah. Oh, Malcolm's son.

>> Yes, ma'am.

>> What is happening here, fellas?

>> Well, Mr. Yman thought he saw something

in

>> there was a dead body here.

>> What body? Bodies don't come and go as

they please.

>> This one did.

>> Who could it have been?

>> Well, when that woman disappeared last

year,

>> what you probably saw was a log. Blake

plays tricks with your eyes. Could have

been anything. Boots, jackets.

During the summer, this place becomes a

regular lover's lane. I've come across,

well,

discarded blouses

and just the damnedest things. I saw a

body.

>> Mr. Yman, I will look into it,

>> but I haven't got much to go on.

You coming, John?

>> No.

I'll walk.

here. Honey.

John.

>> It's a beautiful view you got here,

ma'am.

>> It's fabulous.

>> Real nice.

>> Yeah.

So, John,

what about that woman who disappeared?

>> I thought maybe it was related to the

others, but

>> what others?

>> Sheriff likes to keep these matters

confidential, sir.

>> What matters?

>> Well, ma'am,

murders.

>> Murders.

Well, let me take that back now. Um,

we can't be certain. I mean, the the

bodies were mutilated.

>> What?

>> Well, so they could have been an animal

that got at him.

>> At whom?

>> I'd really rather not say.

>> How many?

>> Uh, three.

>> Murders.

>> Bodies, ma'am. Not necessarily murders.

>> I want to thank you for the coffee.

>> Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Just when

exactly were these bodies discovered?

over the past

15 years.

>> Unsolved.

>> Well, yes, ma'am, but not for lack of

trying.

>> Oh, right. I saw how diligent your

sheriff is.

>> All women?

>> No, there's one man

>> from town.

>> Well, no, he was a summer visitor.

The others,

well, they weren't exactly able to

identify the remains.

>> John, is this place safe? I mean, my our

children.

>> Oh, no. This is a real quiet town. I

mean, we got an occasional bar brawl

here, you know, and Eli the electrician

goes off the deep end once in a while,

but it's nothing to worry about. There's

Henry Link lives over in those woods.

>> Yeah,

>> they say he was always real fond of the

military.

Still is in a way.

Gosh,

I really should be going.

Mr. Yman, sir, I hope this afternoon

wasn't too discouraging for you.

I just gives me such a warm feeling

seeing how good this place looks now.

>> John, one for the road.

>> Um, so you call me if you need me.

>> Thanks.

H

>> let's not tell the kids yet. Okay. I

mean, till we're absolutely certain,

>> right? Just saw a body. Pieces of a dead

body.

>> But

>> But what?

Where did it go?

I don't know. Maybe.

Honey, maybe that's what you saw.

Chuck. Ah, Chuck. Wait.

>> [music]

>> See you later, ma.

>> Debbie Mortimer, YOU DO YOUR PSYCHIATRY

HOMEWORK. Now you here.

>> PSYCHOLOGY, MA.

>> WELL, I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU CALL IT,

HONEY. YOU PROMISE ME.

Lord almighty. I don't know how I'm

gonna get that child to buckle down. Oh,

I think I'm going to have to have a

teensy bit of that cherry vanilla. I

know I shouldn't do it, but [laughter]

I'm going to do it.

>> Oh, sure. Come on, join me

[sighs]

now. Here's to you and your new home.

Thank you, Ruth.

>> It's a shame the Jacksons let that place

go to pop, though. Of course, they were

awful old and just summer folk. got so

towards the end they were only here oh

one two weeks out of the whole year. I

said to my husband Dwayne I said Dwayne

it's just a shame to see that Jackson

place going to waste.

So, um, you were just telling me, Ruth,

about, uh,

I mean, I understand there have been

some disappearances.

Murder.

That was murder. Pure and simple.

There's no other word for it. Now, the

men in this town, they like to be real

hush- hush about that. Men in this town

are like a bunch of old bitties about

that. Like Eli and his electrical shop.

Do you know that he will not allow a

woman to set one foot inside of that

shop of his? Now why is that? I ask

myself. That man is not right in the

head. Rachel,

>> the last murder was 5 years ago.

>> No, honey. It was just last spring. That

was an old grandpa, too. Now, why would

somebody want to murder somebody that

had one foot already in the grave? It

just doesn't make no sense. And the one

before that was a young bride. Oh, that

is the one that just gives me the creeps

whenever I think about it because that

body was so mutilated. It's just awful.

Now, I have my theories about all this,

but well, my husband Dwayne, well,

Dwayne

anyway, I think that there are certain

residents of Tomahawk,

in particular, one Mr. Henry Link, that

ought to be watched really close.

That's my theory.

Shall I freshen that up for you, girl?

>> Oh, no thanks, Ruth. I'm just fine.

>> So, how'd you find out about all this?

Certainly not from Sheriff Bo and that

tight lipped old coot.

>> Well, my husband thought he saw

something in the lake.

>> Girl, you have got to have a teensy bit

more of that cherry vanilla.

How you doing, Wayne? You like this is

where you build them? Yeah,

>> sweetheart. Oh,

>> hi.

>> Hey, Mr. Gentleman. Hey, Chuck. You got

it made. The old lady does the footwork

and the PR. You stay here with the man.

>> You guys want some fish?

>> Oh, yeah.

>> Oh, no. Thanks.

>> You get that over at the fish fry stand.

>> Yeah.

>> Tasty, is it?

>> Oh, it's very good.

>> Comes right out of the lake.

>> Mhm.

>> Old Sam catches all these fish right off

the dock.

>> We thought you weren't enough to eating

lake fish.

If you people are going to live around

here, you better learn the difference

between a log and your imagination.

>> Hold on, Eli.

>> How many fish and chips do you think old

Sam's going to sell to the tourists if

you start telling them that the fish

have been feeding off dead bodies?

Damn summer folk ought to go back to the

city where they come from,

boy.

What was that?

>> Welcome wagon.

>> Come on.

It's It's delicious.

>> You're on my property.

>> Okay, buddy. There's no need to point a

gun at us.

>> Oh, there's need.

>> Turn around, both of you. Fast. You got

10 SECONDS TO GET. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10.

[screaming]

OH, been taking a stroll in the woods,

have you?

>> So, uh, the best thing to do is steer

clear of Henry Link.

>> Guy ought to be put away.

>> Mr. Yman, uh, Henry's got what you might

call a territorial instinct. It gets

touchy when folks trespass.

>> Touchy man shot at us.

>> Mr. Omen. If Henry had wanted to get

you, he would have.

>> Does he live in the woods?

>> Yes, son. Most of the time. Uh Stevie,

why don't you come over here and help

me?

>> Oh, I can give you a hand, Mr. B.

>> Oh, no. No, ma'am. You You sit down.

I'll I'll take care of it. Kind of make

up for Henry Link being so damn orated.

I hope you folks are hungry.

>> Oh, yeah.

>> Very hungry.

>> Yeah. Nothing like a good scare to perk

up the appetite, huh? [laughter]

>> Oh, that is fine workmanship.

Yes, sir.

Top notch.

>> Did you work on this house, Mr. Bryce? I

hear you're a wonderful carpenter.

>> Oh, no, ma'am. I've never been in here

before. The Jacksons were kind of

private people, you know.

I'll tell you what, Miss Yman. I'll put

a bug in Henry's ear. I'll tell him that

what he did might be right militarily,

but uh it's not very neighborly.

How you doing over there, young fella?

>> Great.

>> Oh, look at those teeth. Oh, that could

take a chunk out of you, couldn't it?

When you live in the shadow of insanity,

the appearance of a mind that thinks and

talks like your own is a blessed event.

>> You really are.

What does it mean? Wait, listen. I'll

tell you.

>> This guy thought that Tarzan lived in

his head. So

>> Oh.

>> So what do he do? What? Future. No, no,

no.

>> What? Oh. Oh, you just keep suspense. If

you turn the page, I'll tell you.

So tell me,

>> two crazies at once.

>> Mhm.

>> The Bergman sisters heard voices that

told them to chop the feet off people.

>> Yeah.

>> Fy ad

um goodbye. No

>> goodbye troubles.

>> Hold on. Hold on. I'll get it.

GOODBYE FEET.

>> No madness of two stupid TWO WHACKERS.

YOU GET IT?

>> OKAY. OKAY, I got it. A smart one like

me and a sidad like you.

>> Thank you. I really appreciate it.

>> Okay. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Very nice of

you.

>> I don't know why I say these. I I'm I

[screaming]

[laughter]

STUPID.

tearing her apart. Are you?

>> I had me a docker once.

>> Sun's going down.

>> Yep. The sun gets low and the

imagination goes haywire.

Lake starts playing tricks with your

eyes.

I have to tell you about the time I seen

that Chinese girl.

It was sundown.

I was about

center of the lake fishing.

I felt a tug on the line.

I pulled hard. I heard a groan

in the water was a woman.

She had shiny soft white skin,

long dark head. Beautiful.

Hell, I dove off the boat. I pulled her

up to the surface.

Big old blowed out inner tube with a

white t-shirt stuck to it.

To this day, I have believe it was a

woman that she's still out there in the

lake waiting to be rescued.

Well, I guess that's who Yman saw. My

little China gal

was a log.

>> Well, that's not what the town gossip

say. I don't give a damn what they say.

>> Well, according to them, what you saw

was a

>> probably saw a log.

>> Yeah,

>> probably

burned down.

He's dark.

I ever find out, did he?

>> Old Dwayne's having one of his days.

Man's got to take care of his own, Eli.

That's the code of the lake.

You're going to be all right here. I'll

buy a lonesome.

Hey, Chuck. You see my little China you

tell her Dwayne's still on the lookout

for? HUH?

[laughter]

Come on, hot shot. Come on. HALF A MILE

TO GO. [screaming]

>> HUH? HOW'S THAT? How's that?

>> Startling. Amazing. You [laughter] being

a hunk?

>> I got the old sail on my back, too.

>> Yeah.

>> Yeah.

>> Care to prove that, sailor?

How's that?

>> So, so

>> so

>> come see. Come on.

>> Uhhuh.

>> Men's a men's.

>> Men's a myth.

>> Fair to Midland.

>> I give you fair.

>> What are you doing? Come on.

>> I'm unbuttoning your blind.

>> No. No. Come on. Run now. Don't get

carried away. Silly because

>> there are woods.

>> In that case,

>> you notice something, honey. H.

>> We're in a pathway here.

>> We're in a pathway here.

>> What are you doing, you fool?

>> I'm getting us off the pathway.

>> You're serious about

>> I'm deadly serious.

>> [laughter]

>> Don't you tickle me.

>> I'm going to I'm going TO

>> HONEY, hold on.

>> No, Jack. I can't breathe.

>> Okay, just [laughter] hold on to me.

Hold on. Hold on to me. Sit down. Sit

Slow down now. Now, baby. Baby, listen

to call the sheriff. You have to. Honey.

Honey. I have to stay here with it.

>> No. No. Cover with me. Cover me. You

don't. Yes, I do, baby. Dead. It's a a

dead thing. Chuck, no. It's not going to

go anywhere.

>> The last one dead.

>> You have to do this.

>> NO, I DON'T. NO. BABY, PLEASE DON'T.

PLEASE, PLEASE, BABY,

>> let's carry it.

>> No. Nie, no.

>> That way we can be together. I Come on.

Use your shirt. What we'll carry.

>> Oh my god, Chuck. It's falling apart.

This is awful.

>> Okay. Okay,

>> honey. Listen to me. Ra, listen to me.

Listen to me.

>> Okay,

>> honey. You've got to go to the house and

call the sheriff.

>> Uh-huh.

>> Okay.

>> Couldn't we go together?

>> No. No.

Go. Go.

>> Okay.

>> Okay.

>> Okay.

>> Go on.

>> Oh, my knees.

>> It's all right, honey. It's all right.

You're going to be okay. You can do

this.

>> Okay. Okay.

Who is it?

Okay, old buddy. Let's just keep

everything in perspective.

Here we go.

So awful.

>> What's that, sweetheart?

>> Oh, nothing, hun.

>> Well, at least he can't claim us all.

All right. How much we sunk into the

business so far?

>> 10. Honey, I told you 10 years.

>> No, before you said it was uh

>> Oh, right. Right. Right. Well, because

you got to count in the year's lease on

the shop. Another eight. Yes. 18.

>> And a house in LA. That's leased until

[snorts]

>> September.

>> Next September.

>> Well, we can always buy a gun. Be a heck

of a lot cheaper than moving again.

>> No, we cannot buy a gun. I won't have a

gun in the house. If we stay here, we're

going to have to do something.

>> Then it's back to locks and alarms.

So much for the peaceful country life.

>> What's that for?

>> Keep out the live ones.

>> You going to trap people in it?

>> Isn't that against the law or something?

>> Jungle doesn't have rules. You want to

survive, you put politeness behind you.

But suppose like someone fell in and

well

died. The dead ones can't get your boy.

Anyone ever gives you a choice of say uh

sitting down to supper with a sergeant's

cadaavver or feasting with a live

general.

You sit with a sergeant cuz he can't

harm you.

No sir, his Harmon days are over.

There's a secret in these woods. And

don't you go mouthing off. You hear me?

>> I won't.

>> I've been stalking it.

>> What?

>> Time's not right.

It's close by.

>> Uh-huh. [laughter]

boy's eyes.

He could be sitting a breath away and

you wouldn't know.

But I smell him.

>> Maybe I should go. My mom will.

>> Death's too fast for you.

>> She said I couldn't go camping.

>> A person could be walking along with a

tune in his head and a smile plastered

across his face. You take your weapon

just so

knocks him down like that. His souls in

hell are heaven. before you can blink

your eyes. Go on, Steven.

Go on home.

No one ever calls me Steven.

That's all you can tell me, H

>> Rachel's not asking you to purge

yourself, son. All she wants is the

truth.

>> Well, the deceased

in in good plain language, John,

>> he was a man around 60 and he bled to

death.

>> Wow. Stevie, was he stabbed?

>> Well, we're not sure.

>> You don't know what the murder weapon

was? Well, ma'am, Sheriff Boington

thinks it might be a butcher's knife.

But see, the thing is,

he wasn't buried right away. See, the

experts think that he was in maybe a

casket or something for at least a few

months before he was, you know, before

he was left in the in your woods.

>> You see, Mom, he could have been killed

any place. New York or Las Vegas. Maybe

somebody was stealing caskets or looking

for jewels empty.

>> [laughter]

>> Well, enough of this, detective.

I'm going to have some more of Rachel's

delicious jam.

How do you like that bread, Rachel?

>> Dad baked that himself.

>> My Martha taught me how to take care of

myself in the kitchen. [laughter]

>> Is that a photo of Martha?

>> Yeah.

Yeah. She would like you

She was

special.

She

always playing music, singing,

artistic.

You remember Johnny

always made sure I had a fresh carnation

in my button hole.

[snorts]

Said it looked gentlemanly.

Dad, I don't think you should.

>> It's all right, Johnny.

He's always worried about my feelings.

Yeah, he hates it when I drive up north.

That's where it happened. You know,

Martha had gone up to visit her mother.

Drunk driver came out of nowhere.

He was killed instantly.

Family albums mighty precious. When the

loved ones no longer around,

>> I took this one here when Johnny was

just a little bit of a thing.

>> Sweet. Oh, and and my favorite is right

over here. Yeah, that's it.

>> Oh,

>> I I put the camera on a timer and then I

went around.

>> Boy, this is embarrassing, Malcolm. Our

album is in such a mess. Really? I don't

think we have one good photo of the

whole family.

>> Well, now that you're settled in, you

can uh get your album in order. You are

settling in, aren't you?

I'll have to think.

>> Listen,

Dwayne Mortimer is the prime suspect.

>> Oh jeez. Mom, would you cut it out?

>> Eli,

>> you could have gone with this wire

cutter. Mom,

>> come on. Rachel, you've been at this for

weeks. It's Christmas.

>> Excuse me. Right. Forget that there are

bodies all over our backyard.

>> The guy in the woods died months ago.

>> Oh, I see. It's okay with everyone that

our woods are turning into a cemetery

for some mad man.

>> Okay. Okay, Mom. Wait, just equal time.

It could be Ruth Mortimer. Oh, wait.

Okay, Mom. Seriously?

>> What? Seriously, what? She killed him

with her big mouth.

What happened to the needle point?

Somebody move it. What happened to my

home sweet home?

Oh,

they're all suspects.

>> What? Honey, I hear something.

Hear it.

Stay put.

What is it? I don't know.

>> Stevie, it's the middle of the night.

What are you doing? I'm helping Mr. Link

patrol.

>> Mr. Link?

>> Henry Link is a suspect.

>> But mother, according to you,

everybody's a suspect.

quick.

Heat.

Wow.

Hey,

did we leave the lights on? It's creepy

on the house. Feels weird.

Somebody's been in the house.

>> [music]

[music]

>> No, he said you guys could freeze.

>> Okay, smile.

>> This is a smile.

>> No, don't smile. Okay,

that was gorgeous. Okay.

>> Mom, on Thursday I have to stay late for

science club.

>> Okay.

>> Dad, is there any way you can fix the

faucets in here? I mean, the water

smells really putrid.

>> Well, we're out of juice. Please remind

me, Lisa, will you, honey?

>> These old houses always smell.

>> You have any peanut butter?

[screaming]

I knew it wasn't Henry Link. I knew it.

Everybody said he was the dangerous one.

He was protecting us. I told you he was

our friend. Mom,

>> Stevie, I'll find Link's killer. That's

a promise.

Whoever did it knows his way around this

place.

Question is why Henry Link? What's the

motive?

>> Maybe he discovered the real killer.

>> Sheriff.

>> Yeah.

>> This is probably nothing, but one

evening the kids and I came home and we

thought somebody had been in the house.

>> Does anybody have a key to your house?

>> No. No. We had all new keys made when we

moved in.

>> Well, do you know anybody who's got say

a grudge against you?

>> No, not that I can think of.

Well, now, Mr. Yman,

somebody somehow gets through your

locked and doublebolted door, empties

out the food cupboard, puts the food god

knows where, and sticks Henry Link's

body into the cupboard where he appears

at breakfast.

>> Why?

>> Looks like somebody wants you to leave

Tomahawk Lake.

Evening folks. How's she doing this

evening?

Oh. Feeling

poorly tonight, Martha?

Oh, well, sweetheart,

you know I come as often as I can.

I'm doing my best.

No, I'm not getting [snorts] soft on

Rachel.

No. Hell, I'm doing my best to get him

out of here.

Do you think I like him running around

up there? Never had this problem when

the Jacksons were here. Maybe they were

here a month, maybe two in the summer at

the most. Huh?

I know it's lonesome here, but

you you got the fosters to keep you

company. And

now, now you're talking crazy,

sweetheart.

Didn't I bring you that teacher,

a nice gal, brunette,

and said I was getting too chummy with

her, so I had to dump her in the

No, no, sweetheart, don't cry.

Look, it it it's hard for me, too.

Hey,

how would you like a nice little son and

daughter matching pair?

Oh, they're real sweet kids.

Well, you think about it. Let me know.

All I want to do is make you happy,

sweetheart.

>> Well,

>> would have been nice.

>> Lisa rarely snarls anymore. You notice

she's almost human.

and Stevie deeply into a Swiss Family

Robinson phase. [sighs]

We were becoming a family.

>> Ra,

I don't want to be a stock broker again.

>> I know.

>> On the other hand, I don't want to get

killed by some maniac either.

>> I know.

>> Gee, it would have been nice.

Yeah, it would have been

>> [music]

>> Wait a minute.

Yeah, it's the same banister.

Hello. Anybody home?

John.

John.

my banister. He said he'd never been in

my house before.

Home sweet home.

Malcolm,

I uh fell faint.

I mean, I was uh walking in in the woods

and um uh well, I knocked and uh what I

needed was some water, so I Forgive me.

I I should have waited outdoors. I u

my house is your house, Rachel.

>> Did you find it?

>> What?

>> What you were looking for?

the glass of water.

>> Oh, yes, sure.

Oh, I uh I drank right out of your tap,

Malcolm. I was pretty shaky, so I just

didn't bother with the glass. I I should

be going.

>> Hi, John.

>> Afternoon, Mrs. Yman.

>> Rachel was feeling ill, so she dropped

in for a glass of water.

Are you feeling better now?

>> Fine. just fine now.

>> You do look a bit pale, ma'am.

Could I take you home?

>> No thanks, John, because I feel just

fine.

>> Take care.

>> Thanks again.

>> Bye.

>> Bye.

Rachel, get a hold of yourself.

Malcolm Bryce is not a killer. He man

lied. He lied. That's all. Everybody

sometimes. Would you shut up? Get home,

will you? And stop talking to yourself.

Your nice Miss Yman's looking for

trouble.

>> You like that Miss Yman, don't you?

She's all right. She reminds you of

somebody, doesn't she? The way she holds

her head up to the wind.

Who does she remind you of, Johnny?

>> I don't know.

the way she can smile

and lie at the same time.

I felt faint.

>> Maybe she was telling the truth.

>> SHE'S JUST LIKE YOUR MOTHER.

FOOLHARDY.

[snorts] They look like pretty little

things,

but inside

there's wickedness.

Your mother was the same way.

She

pretended to like it here, but uh we had

our best moments at the house out on the

lake.

She liked it. Oh, yes, she did.

refuses to leave now. Simply refuses.

She's learned to love it down there by

the lake.

And she's changed her ways.

She's a sweet, loving little wife now.

And you couldn't ask for a better

mother.

Could you think of a better mama,

Johnny?

Isn't my fault she won't chat with you.

It's guilt, boy. She recalls that night,

>> Dad.

>> She recalls that night she tried to

abandon you. You remember that night,

Johnny? You remember when Martha made

that little mistake?

You watched her tiptoe out the door with

moonlight in her hair. P.

>> You cried. Come quick. Mama's running

away.

>> Well, didn't I stop her for you?

>> Yes, sir.

>> You were right there.

>> I remember, sir.

>> And And you helped me carry her back.

Oh, come on. Take a son. And you

How old were you, Johnny?

>> Eight.

8 years old, sir. 8 years old.

[laughter]

And you helped me, didn't you, Johnny?

>> Yes, sir.

>> I helped.

>> You held those little red shoes tight to

your chest.

It was all for you, Johnny.

I did it for you.

I know that, sir.

I know.

>> Whose blood runs stronger in your veins,

son?

Mine

or poor little Martha's?

>> Yours?

I belong to you, sir.

>> How [snorts] are you going to prove

that, Johnny? Look at me, son.

Who's going to carry on for me after I

pass away?

>> I will

keep the home fires burning.

>> All by your lonesome.

I can do it.

>> No time like the present,

is there?

But myself

all by your lonesome.

Kill Rachel.

Got to kill her.

All by his lonesome.

All by his lonesome.

All by his lonesome.

All by his lonesome.

My father.

>> John, you

you think it too.

I have to do something for my father.

>> I know. I know. It'll be all right.

>> I have to.

>> He said,

"Forgive me."

>> Oh, my poor.

You must forgive him.

But it's not your fault. Listen, you are

not to blame.

Then you're not mad at me. Oh,

>> you poor child.

>> Mama.

My mama.

>> It's okay. It's okay.

Have a nice walk.

>> I tried.

>> Not hard enough.

>> She She kept

>> wrapping you around her little finger.

>> Yeah.

Yeah, it was her. It was her fault.

Well, she kept looking at you with

woman's eyes, huh?

>> Uh-huh.

And holding on to me.

>> Rocked you in her arms, did she?

>> Yeah. She uh she tricked me.

>> I think you liked it.

>> No.

>> Yep. You was easy on her.

>> No.

>> Then why don't I smell her blood on you?

>> I don't know. WHY DO I SMELL HER TEARS?

>> I KNOW WHAT I SMELL.

HIS FAILURE.

YEP.

I raise myself a son who doesn't have

the guts to kill himself. One one ity

bitty woman all by himself.

Yes, sir.

I got me a weakling.

>> I'm as good as you.

Maybe better.

>> Is that a fact?

>> Yeah.

One's

nothing.

One's not good enough.

ANYBODY COULD KILL JUST ONE.

You got an idea, son?

Where you going?

Come on. You can tell me.

No need to be shy.

[whistles]

It's time.

>> [laughter]

>> I got a better idea.

Not just Rachel.

You're talking about

killing

for Arthur.

God bless her

for mama.

We'll kill them all.

the windows are locked. You help me get

John. If they got in this way, there's

killing my mother.

Coldblooded murder.

They'll pay.

They'll pay dearly.

Take the trail.

I'm going down by the lake.

>> Go on. Go on. Go. Okay. Go for it.

Come. See me to the left.

Chuck. Daddy,

>> you're late.

>> Go on. Go on without me.

>> Oh, no. No. No.

>> Look, I can't make it. Go on.

>> The answer is no.

>> Dad, I've got an idea. Come on,

>> STEVIE.

>> STEADY. WAIT.

>> COME ON.

>> Try this.

D,

>> you never listen to me. I'm trying to

tell you something. This is a trap here.

See, Henry and I built it. We've got

spears, too.

You see, the trick is to get a decoy

right over there. See, the enemy comes

with the decoy and wham, he falls right

in.

>> Stevie,

>> he's a real brain, isn't he, Dad?

>> Yeah.

Shoot.

>> [music]

[screaming and groaning]

>> Boy, the trap really didn't work.

>> You mean you weren't sure?

>> All right, Stevie. I want you to reset

the trap, and I want you guys to meet me

at the lake.

>> Okay, Jack. Stay with the kids.

>> Okay.

All right.

>> [music]

>> I thought I might find you down here.

Waiting for Martha, are you? Well,

she'll be late tonight.

Is this your place

out here in the woods?

Is this where you made all your plans?

Pack light, dearest. Just throw a few

things in your tapestry bag. We wouldn't

want to make Malcolm suspicious. But

what about my boy? We'll come back for

him when everything's settled. Oh, I'm

so happy now. I'll wear the red satin

shoes and the dress you like and I'll

never come back here ever.

You stole my wife.

She didn't belong to you.

You broke up my happy home.

Now you're going to have to pay the

toll.

No. [screaming]

>> [screaming]

>> Oh my god.

Please

you [laughter]

hold John,

[music]

[music]

no.

>> [laughter]

>> If we could freeze this moment.

So peaceful.

Funny

how beautiful it is again.

>> Ra

quite a woman.

[sighs]

>> Maybe we'll find a place this nice up

north. Or

>> it's too cold.

>> Maybe some nice quiet little beach town.

Sure,

>> we'll find something.

>> I won't have this view, though.

>> We're not moving, are we?

>> We can't move. This place is the best. I

mean, it never gets boring.

>> Sure, a murder a minute.

>> Let's discuss this rationally, Mom.

>> You don't um want your only daughter

becoming a dope addict.

>> We have to look over all our options.

>> Options. Options. Would you look at this

place? Look at fresh air.

>> No smog, no traffic,

>> no crime.

Thanks to us, it's crime free now.

>> Well, we haven't decided anything yet,

right, Chuck?

>> Right. Right.

>> Oh, well, great. Now that it's safe, we

leave. Real sensible.

It

>> is a terrific view.
