Original subtitles

Would you like to speak to my plans?

I'm sorry I don't speak Philodendra.

Are you into heavy metal?

As long as it's not pointed at me.

A lot

of work I usually get my Philodendra.

So when I took some time off, I decided to go fishing.

But I couldn't find my license.

So once again, I found myself hunting.

Remember,

no appointments until next week.

I have missed trout season for the past eight years.

And I am not going to miss it this year.

That's all there is to it.

You can stick around and also rent.

It's always rent season.

Look, I'll catch some extra fish and give those to the landline.

Where is my fishing license?

Did you say eight years?

Yeah.

Well, this license expired six years ago.

Well, I won't tell the trout of you.

Don't tell anybody where I am.

Mind the store, I'll see you later.

Okay, bye-bye.

Mike!

Hmm, going fishing.

Lonnie, is that really you?

Can I change that much?

Hi.

You look terrific.

Bela, I'd like you to meet Lonnie Challenger.

Hi.

We've done each other a long time.

When I was a kid, her brother and I were best friends.

You two got in a lot of trouble together.

We sure did.

So what brings you to New York?

Her group's appearing here.

Their last stop on their concert tour.

Hmm, you sound like a fan.

Oh, I am.

How do you know that?

I'm a rock singer, Mike.

Oh, yeah?

More than that, she's a lead singer of a group called Firestorm.

Who?

Firestorm.

Their last album was number one on the charts for 22 weeks in a row.

You got to keep up with the music, Mike.

Well, listen, my idea of good music is my favorite thing by John Coltrane.

Who?

Oh, come on.

Oh, well, the reason I'm here, because I was

wondering if you could keep something for me.

Sure.

You got in there, the Maltese Falcon?

Nothing is mysterious, as old as.

There's no privacy on tour, Mike, and this is something private, that's all.

Well, I'd be happy to take care of it.

Thanks, Mike.

Oh, these are for you.

Front row seats for Friday night, if they're okay.

Okay.

Lonnie, this is really nice of you, but I'm going to still be on vacation.

But look, I'd love to hear you sing.

I'll be back next week.

Are you going to be playing then?

Sure, I'll save you some seats.

Great.

Hey, it's wonderful to see you.

Bye-bye, Val.

Bye.

And listen, good luck on your opening with Firebrand.

Firestorm.

Yeah.

Something's never changed, and my camera's one of them.

Listen, I better get to rehearsal.

Would you like these?

Are you kidding?

See you at the show.

You bet.

Thanks a lot, guys.

I think it's going to be really good tonight.

But you know what, when I want to just pick it up a

little bit towards the end, give it a little more guts.

It's going to be fine.

See you later, all right?

Thank you very much.

Oh, it's so great working with talented people.

Hey, it's even greater to have a terrific talent

like Herbie Hancock, opening for Firestorm.

Thank you.

Are you kidding?

I'm glad to do it.

Besides, where else can I be surrounded by such beautiful women?

I'm not getting arrested.

Thank you.

Herbie, thank you very much.

Oh, she wrote a line of grace in here.

Oh, it's about time you got here, Ronnie.

You think you need to work here?

I'm sorry I'm late, Sheila.

I lost track of the time.

We haven't sold out one concert this tour, and she's still playing Star.

You might write music line, but that doesn't mean you can hit all the notes.

Come on.

Come on, you guys.

We're supposed to be friends here, huh?

Friendship went out the window in Kansas City, along with the crowds.

Hey, come on.

Knock it off.

Chastity's right.

So we haven't done as well as we expected.

We get back into the studio, we'll strike gold again, right?

I'm sorry, Pete.

You're right.

You're always right.

You're usually right.

Sometimes, right?

Right.

That's a little better.

Now, come on.

Get out there, show them what firestorm can do besides growl at each other.

Go to work.

It's not about job.

Mmm.

Mmm.

Mmm.

Mmm.

Mmm.

Mmm.

Mmm.

Mmm.

Mmm.

Mmm.

Mmm.

Mmm.

Mmm.

Mmm.

Mmm.

Mmm.

Mmm.

Mmm.

Stay back.

Get an ambulance.

Call the doctor.

It's too late, Pete.

She's dead.

Blimey.

I'm standing right by the...

It wasn't exactly the world's longest fishing trip.

In fact, I hadn't even got past the odd cars when the radio gave me the news.

My car, I'm lucky my radio even works.

Forwarding to me, I need it.

Anything else?

All right.

Emma, what are you doing here?

I knew the girl.

Her brother and I grew up together.

I'm sorry to hear that.

So what happened?

I don't know, I'm trying to find that out myself.

Matt, what do you got?

Well, according to the electricians, there was a mistake in the wiring.

When this app was turned on, it fed juice into the guitar and the microphone.

But she picked up the microphone and wham.

500 amps.

Just a free Gaxon, like it.

What makes you so sure it was an accident?

What are you getting at?

Well, I know this isn't my area, but I've been thinking about what I saw.

You've heard me Hancock.

Yeah, my camera.

I've always loved your music.

Thank you.

You know, this sound system is one of the best in the country.

It worked like a charm, the whole tour.

So what does that mean?

Well, the system was fine doing the sound check.

In order for it to go wrong like this, it would have had been rewired.

Or miswired.

Mr. Hancock, thank you very much for your help.

Sure, anytime.

Sure.

Well, I don't know.

We might have grounds for criminal negligence.

For the time being Captain, I think we should pursue that avenue.

You're going to report this as an accident?

Like, I think there was murder here.

I don't know.

It's always a possibility.

Yeah, there's no proof.

No motive.

No suspect.

Where's the rest of the group?

I got a backstage waiting.

Okay, thanks.

Maybe Lonnie's death wasn't an accident.

Maybe not.

I needed to talk to the girls in her group.

What do you mean it's gone?

Will I ask P.D.

in her anyway?

Do you know how important that tape is?

You're sweating the tape and Lonnie's dead.

Please, don't let me interrupt.

How did he get back here?

My name is Mike Hammer.

I'm the private investigator.

I'm an old friend of Lonnie challenges.

What's it investigate?

Nothing.

It was an accident.

If it wasn't, what is it that's missing?

It's not important.

Yeah?

You seem pretty upset about it.

It's our music.

Lonnie's music, a tape she made of some new songs.

It belongs to the group.

She's just been killed, Millie.

You sound like a grave robber.

Who named you official group saint?

I'm being practical.

Sure, maybe you're uptight because you had a fight with Lonnie.

All right, that's enough!

Hey, wait a minute!

I got you!

Hey, cut it out!

Enjoying the show, Hammer.

What is this, the new rock and roll?

Well, somebody please tell me why this tape is so important.

Because without it, we'll keep going down the tube.

We?

You don't look much like a member of a long girls band.

Pete Kingman.

I'm Firestorm's manager.

And you're my camera.

Captain Chambers told me about you.

You're the manager.

You finance the group?

Yes, I do.

Oh, by yourself?

You don't get any outside help?

I wish I did.

Where'd my life savings into this group?

Listen, I thought you guys were a big hit.

Why all this trouble with Fireborne?

Firestorm.

The album went platinum, but the tour has been a disaster.

The fans want new material.

Lonnie's been working on this music for weeks.

All by herself, top secret.

We were going to get into it today.

Everything was on that demo tape.

And now Lonnie's dead and the tape is gone, and we've never even heard it.

We have to cancel out New York.

No.

Box office receipts have been zipped.

We can barely trade the roads.

Damn it.

Sorry about everything.

Nobody's not superstitious.

Well, thanks.

I'll be in touch.

Mr. Hammer?

If you could find that tape for us, it's a

real-to-real job with a label that says Firestorm 2.

How do you know that?

Well, I saw it.

Lonnie played a track for me.

It was fantastic.

Did the others know that you heard it?

I didn't think they needed to know.

I don't mean to sound ghoulish, but that music could make a lot of difference to us.

Yeah.

I'm sure it could.

Listen, you said that Millicent and Lonnie had a fight this morning.

What was that all about?

Millie was real mad.

Yesterday we found out Lonnie was talking to a new agent.

I mean a heavy agent.

Who?

Ben Briscoe.

We were afraid she was leaving the group.

Yeah.

She did.

The hard way.

Let's see.

Lonnie had left something with me for safekeeping.

It had to be the tape the girls were looking for.

Mike, I heard about one tragic accident.

It was an accident.

Are you wanting something?

I don't know, maybe.

Listen, where's that thing that Lonnie asked us to keep an eye on?

Top left drawer.

Tape.

I don't know if everybody's talking about this.

Why, is it that important?

I don't know.

I'm just wondering if it has anything to do with Lonnie's death.

Listen, if anybody asks, we don't know nothing about this tape.

Right.

What's the combination of this thing?

36, 24, 36.

Ben Briscoe is one of the best.

The biggest agents in town.

If Lonnie's challenger was planning to take her music and dump the group,

he was the man to help her.

I trace Briscoe to a midtown recording studio.

Hi.

Hello.

Would you like to speak to my plans?

Sorry, I don't speak Philodendron.

I'm looking for Ben Briscoe.

Yes, Mr. Briscoe's down the hall in Controgue V, but does he know you're coming?

No, but don't worry, I'll tell him.

I'm busy.

Hey, I want to talk to you, man.

Hey, man, I'm busy.

I'm busy, too.

Come on.

I want to talk to you, support.

Stop!

What is it with you?

What do you want out of my life?

My name is Mike Hammer.

I'm a private investigator.

I want to ask you some questions about Lonnie's challenger.

Hey, man, my business with my clients is confidential.

You were handling Lonnie.

Hey, what is this?

You're following me?

We decided we'd better find out exactly what Lonnie was up to.

I know how this seems, Mr. Hammer, but this is the

first time we pulled together since the tour started.

Briscoe, I'm sure you know the girls from Firedrill.

Firestorm.

Right.

Good moves, good voices, but you need better material.

Then we would have had if it weren't for you.

All right, now, let's just be nice.

What's all the excitement about here?

Lonnie's challenger was killed today.

What a shock.

I mean, she was right on the edge.

You didn't know that?

What in the trades?

I mean, she was going to be a big star.

I heard a new sound, incredible.

She was going to shock Firestorm, move up a couple of notches.

I mean, her new sound, her new tape.

Monster seller for sure.

Tell me something.

What's a monster hit worth these days?

Millions.

She's right.

I mean, you're talking about enough to run a city like New York for a whole year.

Thank you, sir.

A week.

Too bad about Lonnie.

Abby.

Memo.

Order of flowers to the Lonnie challenger funeral.

Up to, uh, 50 bucks.

I love that kid.

Okay, where's the tape?

Don't you have a copy?

You wouldn't let her out of her hot little hands.

You don't have one either?

Well, it seems to have disappeared.

Look, if I find it, you will be the first to know.

You find it, we talk business.

We'll do lunch?

You'll buy?

Hey, it's all right off.

Sweetheart, I love you.

You're getting nowhere fast, hammer.

Yeah, well, I'll get nowhere even faster as long as you ladies are hanging around.

Somehow I felt like Donald Duck leading Huey-Duey Louie.

It seemed there was no way to deny the fact that Lonnie challenger had been murdered.

I was going to get Barrington as proof, motive, and suspect.

All in the same body bag.

More my camera in a moment here on A&E.

Somebody had killed a singer named Lonnie challenger

and they were now taking shots at her rock room.

I've heard that music critics in this town were rough.

But this was going too far.

Well, the visions are a lucky day.

May I present Firebird?

Firestorm.

Right.

I always wanted to see a private eye on his natural habitat.

Pat, you need to call your office.

Gorgeous Secretary, bottle of bourbon, dusty foil, gumball machine.

Oh, we're glad to have you here.

We're under Mike's protection.

Yes, well, my friend, Captain Pat Chambers, will also be looking at him.

Anybody want a drink?

How about a gumball?

Okay, Sergeant, thanks.

Well, they found the car.

Bad dude did the Port Authority parking lot.

Well, so much for the guys who shot at us.

Well, long gone by now.

Any registration?

Yeah, it was a hot car.

You paid cash.

No name, no address.

Any blood?

No blood.

Too bad.

How long do we have to stick around here?

I'm beginning to get an itch.

Nice talk, Millicent.

One of the reasons I got into music was to get out of pig pens like this.

Well, if you don't like it, sweet pea, there's the door.

Don't worry, Mike.

Millie has a lot of trouble with men.

I have trouble.

What about you and Dave Marquette?

Millie.

Dave Marquette?

Dave was chastity's big heartthrob.

Till Lonnie got to go.

Hey, wait, wait, wait.

Hey!

Call it!

There's no fighting in the pig pen.

I've got an appointment.

Captain Chambers, it's your turn to tend to flop.

If they continue to misbehave, move the flock out of here.

Yeah, I play a little drums.

I play drums.

He was.

I keep with him.

Hammer investigations?

Yes.

Just moved.

It's for you.

Hi.

Yeah?

Really?

Wow!

It's Pete.

He says the box office is starting to go crazy.

Oh, that's great.

What's your favorite record?

Jim Brown's.

Tell him it's broken.

So much, where were we?

Dave Marquette.

Dave Marquette.

Now, is Dave Marquette obligated in any way to fire dance?

Firestorm.

Yeah.

I'm not sure, but I'm doing everything I can to fight.

I'm trying to find out, Michael.

But you know Marquette, as well as I do.

He's into gambling, loan charking.

He covers heavy action.

And then lends money to the losers with interest of course.

And then when they can't pay, he moves in and takes over.

Yeah, but as he fulfilled as a human being.

So how am I going to get to this guy?

It's not so easy.

He's completely surrounded with muscle.

However, my sources have revealed to me that you can find

him jogging every morning at the Central Park bridal path.

5.30 am shot.

I didn't know there was a 5.30 in the morning.

Thanks, Murch.

I better get some sleep.

Oh, Mom.

Thanks, Miss.

Leave a whole lot faster.

What do you want, Hammer?

Good morning, Marquette.

Here, pal.

You guys training for the big fight?

What fight?

This one!

Now, talk to me about Lonnie's challenge.

You want to remember Lonnie?

Never heard of him.

What about chastity?

I stopped with even that years ago.

Very funny, pal.

Now, what do you know about Firefly?

I'm in a loan business, Hammer.

Not arson.

And I'm running late.

You're not running anywhere, Davey.

So you talk to me about Lonnie's challenger.

What was her connection with that tape?

What tape?

He was a little closer.

All right, Hammer.

If it's motives you want for Lonnie's challenges, death go back to Firestorm.

Yeah, well, I... Shear Walters, that's why.

With Lonnie out of the way she gets exactly what she wants.

To be the lead singer.

Why didn't you say so in the first place, Hammer?

You boys okay?

You better get your guys in shape.

Hi.

It's a nice morning for exercise.

Sure is.

I just got a little...

I didn't particularly believe, Marquette.

But at that point Lonnie's killer could have been anyone a newer.

Including Shear Walters.

Pat was watching over the girls as they picked

out costumes at a Greenwich Village boutique.

Nice paradise.

See?

Captain Chambers, you are relieved.

My turn to the barrel.

Well, these girls are fun, but they are.

Tell me.

You want to feel old?

These two kids are looking at a poster over here of the Beatles, and the one girl

says, I didn't know that Paul McCartney left wings to join the Beatles.

And the other one says, Who's the Beatles?

Who's the Beatles?

Who's the Beatles?

Hey.

Are you into heavy metal?

Bloggers is not pointed at me.

Hi, Cheryl.

Hi, Mike.

What do you think?

Well, it's not really my style.

Listen, I need to talk to you about... 3-1!

3-1-1.

Hey, let's go find the kneecap.

I shot.

Yeah.

More of my camera in a moment here on A&E.

For a conquest like...

I didn't know much about the music business, but I did know one thing.

Whoever was behind these attacks was going

to be number one of my charts with a bullet.

Okay, can we go through this one more time, please?

Now, you say you knew the dead man was not a real rock singer.

How did you know that?

Well, I worked here for a long time, you know.

I mean, I know rock singers.

Besides, when I was talking to the guy, he didn't

know the difference between Prince and Sting.

I mean, ignorant.

You know the difference, don't you, Barrington?

Yeah, and it's my little secret.

Mike, do you think they were after us?

I doubt it.

I think they were after me.

Great.

That ought to narrow the suspects down.

What makes you think they were after you, Hammer?

Well, you know, these groups are always looking for a new hit.

Thanks.

You've been a big help.

Hey.

What do you got?

Well, he wasn't exactly carrying an ID, but my guess is he was a pro.

I see you making some new friends, Mike.

Yeah, who needs enemies?

Listen.

When you get your make on this guy, I see if

he's connected in any way to Dave Marquette.

Well, Marquette's a shark, all right?

He hires guns like this, but he's smooth.

He doesn't make a trace.

Yeah, just bodies.

Hammer.

Just heard what happened.

You guys all right?

Oh, Peter was awful.

Oh, I'm sorry, baby.

I got some great news.

Can't wait.

Got to tell you.

You're buying us bulletproof dresses.

Just talk to the theater box office.

We're SRO for the weekend.

Sold out for the first time on the tour.

Oh, you're kidding.

Great.

Isn't that great?

Congratulations.

Listen, I've got a great idea.

Why don't we party down at the precinct?

Hammer, you're invited to.

Captain Chambers, will you do the honors and escort everyone?

Great.

Shale.

Listen, I got to talk to this lady alone.

Can you cover for me with Barrington?

You got it.

What can you tell me about Dave Marquette?

Let's put it this way.

It wouldn't be my first choice to take to a desert island.

That's a good taste.

I have to admit, the one for Dave when it happens to her.

He'll keep finance, the whole thing.

Really?

I wonder why Pete didn't want to tell me that.

Oh, sometimes Pete has an ego.

He wouldn't want to admit that he had to deal with someone as low as Marquette.

Uh-huh.

You know, after his little affairs with Cassidy and

Millicent, Marquette started putting the moves on me.

I turned it down.

After that, he never forgave me.

Probably why he said you killed Lonnie, if you

wanted to become the lead singer in the group.

What?

You didn't believe him, did you?

Well, he's hardly the kind of guy that inspires a lot of trust.

Mike, Lonnie was my best friend.

I wouldn't have heard her for the world.

You know, it's difficult to believe that any of you girls were ever very close.

When this tour started, we were like sisters.

But Lonnie's dead, and I've been shot at.

You know, when you're a kid, nobody ever tells you the price tag on your dreams.

Come on, let's go.

Apparently, Sheryl Waters was the only member of the band

who hadn't been involved with the gangster Dave Marquette.

That alone made me want to trust her.

You like it?

It's very interesting.

Interesting.

Is that all you can say?

Well, it's my kind of music.

It's sweet, bluesy jazz.

Mike, really.

I think that music's terrific.

But think what he could have done with the synthesizer.

A synthesizer.

You know, you really are a child of your generation.

Are you?

I guess so.

What was my wife?

Sure.

Have you always lived alone?

More or less.

You don't give away very much, do you?

Well, maybe I never found the right person to...

give too.

Maybe you're too tough.

Maybe.

You know, I really like hanging out with you.

Thanks.

I like hanging out with you too.

Maybe you're not all that tough.

Oh, yeah.

You want to fight?

Sure.

Get it.

That has gotten to be chaffity and millisecond.

Sure, wait a minute.

Oh,

Captain Chambers.

Oh, I'm not interrupting anything.

Hey, this has got a nice... What you do, blow your lights, Mike?

Yeah, what you do, blow your timing?

I get out of them all.

What's the word?

Tell them that gunman you took out.

Dude Taylor from Detroit.

We haven't connected him with Dave Marquette yet.

So?

Well, we got to get going.

Barrington wants to talk to us downtown.

What did you tell him?

I told him you had good reason to interrogate the girl.

He did.

Now he knows I had nothing to do with Lonnie's death.

You had a good alibi?

Well, put it this way.

It's better than Dave Marquette's or Lady Millisons.

Look, I've told you everything I know.

How much longer do I have to be here?

Not long if you cooperate.

If you don't, you'll be here all night.

Shell Walt is here?

Outside of a chastooned Cayman.

We find out.

Seems that Dave Marquette is lying in every member of the group.

Why don't you leave Dave out of this?

He had nothing to do with this.

Isn't it true that Chastie was involved with Marquette and Lonnie was involved

with Marquette and you were involved with Marquette?

But not at the same time.

I don't care.

If he loved her and you loved him, there's a motive there.

If you're trying to imply that I killed Lonnie because of jealousy, you're wrong.

Just as he may be, but...

But you didn't know Marquette was in love with Lonnie.

Sure, that's why she killed it.

That's not true.

They never really loved her.

What are you saying?

They respected her talents enough to invest money in the group.

That's all.

Yeah, well, you lied to me.

You told me that nobody was financing the group with yourself.

Give him a chance.

Give him a chance.

How much did Marquette invest in firestorm?

Just enough to keep it to her going.

Marquette wanted to be a silent partner.

He may be promised not to tell anybody.

Why would he do that?

You don't have to ask him.

Well, I don't buy him.

He didn't mind lying about Marquette.

It was the privilege of killing Lonnie, getting a

little publicity, and cleaning up at the box office.

No way I would have killed one.

Oh, yeah?

I heard that Lonnie was going to leave the group and go off on her own.

You killed her.

No, I didn't.

I would have gone with her.

Some hammer.

I think you were onto something.

You killed her.

No, I didn't.

I couldn't kill Lonnie.

Why not?

I said, why not?

I loved her.

Lonnie loved Marquette.

No, she didn't.

She didn't love Marquette and she didn't love me.

The only thing that she loved was her music.

All right, Ken, you can go way outside.

Okay.

I love to get this straight.

Shasta, you wanted Marquette.

You've been Marquette, you liked Millicent.

Then Millicent went after Marquette, but by

that time, Marquette had the hots for Lonnie.

Makes you wonder where he gets the energy to jog.

Look who's talking.

What was your relationship to Marquette?

I told you before.

I hardly knew him.

Come on.

What are you concealing?

Why would I want to hide anything?

My life is in danger too.

I could be murdered, just like Lonnie.

Come on, Barrington.

We've been through all this before.

Back off, Hammer.

With Lonnie out of the way you become leaves singing.

Now, tell me you're not glad she's gone.

Barrington, Hammer, take a walk.

Pleasure.

She'll you real name?

Mike, I need to talk to you.

Mike, I'm scared.

Listen, as long as you tell the truth, you've got nothing to worry about.

But the police think someone from our group killed Lonnie.

I know, but they've got to explore any possibility.

Do you think it could have been one of us?

Chastity.

Everybody is a suspect.

Including you.

Then why don't you try Dave Marquette?

He was real mad when he found out Lonnie was leaving the group.

How did Lonnie feel about that?

Well, she was upset.

She loved him.

That's not what Peter King said.

Pete wasn't Lonnie's roommate I was.

He didn't share midnight secrets with her.

I knew how she was really feeling.

Alright, tell me something.

How did Dave Marquette really feel about Lonnie?

Dave Marquette never loved anybody but Dave Marquette.

Did Lonnie know that?

I think she started to get hip to it.

Yeah, so hip she died.

After talking to each one of the girls, as well as to Pete King when their

manager, all trails seemed to lead right back to Mr. Dave Marquette.

What is your problem, Hammer?

Lonnie challenged her.

Why did you want her dead?

I told her to talk to Cheryl Walters.

Yeah, the only reason you put the finger on

Cheryl Walters is because she turned you down.

Come on, why should that bother me?

You had Millicent, you had Chastity and then you had Lonnie.

My personal life is none of your business.

It is my business when it leads to murder.

Lonnie was going to leave the group.

She was going to go out on her own and that's why you had to nail her.

You're crazy, Hammer.

You're so far off base you don't have a clue.

I don't hear you denying it.

You're not as smart as you think you are.

I mean, you don't know a thing.

If you want information, why don't you...

Pat, you can add Marquette to the list he's dead.

When?

Just a few minutes ago.

In his apartment.

I don't know, the bullet just came through the window.

Listen, any progress with the rest of the group?

What?

Well, we didn't get any more.

So, Baron, say they're going home in his squad car.

He let them all go.

When?

About an hour ago.

You know, listen, I'll be gone when you get here, but Marquette won't.

What?

Incredible sight.

As in the way the Lonnie challenged him, drawings the fans

lined up for tickets to see surviving members of Firestorm play.

A further attempt on the lives of the others

has enhanced the box office as even more.

I can't believe all these attempts on the girls' lives.

They've made Firestorm the hottest group in the country.

They're SRO.

Sniping room only.

Well, maybe a full house.

It's gonna be at least one empty seat.

Peter Kingman, please.

Kingman, my camera.

Yeah, listen, I think I've got something you might want.

I'd rather not talk about it on the phone.

Why don't you beat me to theater?

It's, uh, four o'clock?

See you there.

I'm out of here.

You're gonna be early.

Well, that's because I'm planning on getting the worm.

Anne, are you here?

You had

a lot of talent, didn't you, Pete?

Where are you, Hannah?

No, Lonnie could have made it big when she'd gone out on her own.

That's not why you killed her.

Obviously he brought it to me.

That's not why you killed her either.

I already told you I didn't kill her.

I loved Lonnie.

Attack on the girls was a nice little boy.

It actually made us think that the whole group was in danger.

It made them unnecessary.

Very clever.

See, we could never really point the finger at you because we had no clear motive.

That isn't till now.

What are you talking about, Hammer?

Here's a little something that I found that Dave Mark gets a partner.

Dear Dave, I feel betrayed.

How long do you plan to be involved with her?

If it goes on, you will destroy our love.

Alright, Hammer, let's talk.

Better hold it, Kingman.

But Dave didn't come to a sentence.

Or so you thought.

So you had to kill Lonnie.

Lonnie, out of the way, you and Dave could put your relationship back together again.

But Dave didn't come back to you, did he?

So you had to kill him too.

That's where you made your big mistake.

You should have waited.

Here's what you didn't know is that Dave responded to your letter.

Unfortunately, he never had a chance to send him.

Let me read it to you.

Peter, you're right.

You've been right from the beginning.

I'm sorry it's taken me so long to see it.

You don't have to worry about my relationship with Lonnie any longer.

I now realize there's no future in it.

Please forgive any hurt I may have caused you.

I'll be in touch soon.

Yours, David.
