♫ ♫

You have never looked so handsome.

I´ve never been so happy.

Don´t forget to say hello to the Beringers.

They have the largest... the largest

private collection of Monets on the east coast.

I know that, Dad.

I know I don´t necessarily say this often enough,

but I am proud of you, son.

She´s a terrific girl.

Yes, she is.

Nice day for a honeymoon.

This girl disappeared at her own wedding,

in front of 200 of her closest friends and family?

Yeah-- 11:15--

right after they brought out the wedding cake.

Somebody found one of her shoes

in the service area.

Was it made out of glass?

So who is she?

Audrey Rose. Now Audrey Rose Beckworth.

As in Rose and Beckworth Auction House?

Very good.

The society page says this is the first big event of the season.

You read the society page, huh?

Uh-huh. Right after I read the obits.

You going to set up a trap-and-trace at the Rose´s?

The bride´s parents are both dead.

If there´s a ransom note,

it´s coming the Beckworths´ way.

The happy couple.

Hey. Hey.

What´s going on?

Uh, well, NYPD´s covering hospitals and morgues.

We´ve got her credit cards, but no hits so far.

How about her cell phone?

Well, I´m into her records

but apparently, she lost her cell phone

a couple of weeks ago, and never replaced it.

Strange, for a bride planning such an elaborate wedding.

Yeah, I know, but from what I hear, the groom´s parents

were handling all the details.

She was simply along for the ride.

Pretty wild ride so far.

Yep.

( garbled radio transmission )

Yo, Martin, I think we got something.

I was right here.

And you saw it clearly?

Yeah, there was some guy pushing her

into the backseat of the car.

And I remember because she only had one shoe on.

( screaming )

Let me out!

Get off of me!

You get a look at the plates?

No.

What´d the guy look like?

I don´t know, man. Kind of average.

I didn´t get a good chance to see his face.

Did you see what he was wearing?

A suit, I think.

You think?

Jose, this is important.

Was it suit, was it a tuxedo?

Hey, man, look, I don´t know, okay?

I´m not sure, all right?

I don´t know.

All right. Thanks.

There goes the bride.

So, if the ransom call comes in,

you do whatever you can to keep them talking.

Agree to all their demands and you assure them

that you won´t speak to the authorities.

Okay, sure.

How soon does the call usually come in?

Well, there´s really no hard and fast rules

but usually within the first 24 hours.

( heavy sigh )

Look, I know this sounds frightening

but we want this call to come in, Mr. Beckworth.

You see, usually in these ransom situations,

the victim comes home safely.

Whatever it costs. It doesn´t matter.

I´ve already spoken to my financial people

and the funds will be ready.

We need to speak with Audrey´s financial advisor as well.

Who do we speak to?

The man you probably want to talk to is Graham Walker.

He´s the trust attorney for both of our families.

My poor son.

I keep begging him to come back here and be with us,

but he won´t leave the hotel.

Charles Beckworth?

Special Agent Jack Malone.

Take a seat.

Right now, we´re supposed to be having breakfast in bed.

Eggs Benedict, pancakes with strawberries.

We always order two dishes and then share them both.

Let me guess.

You´d end up eating them both.

She does, actually.

She´s the one with the appetite.

You married?

11 years.

That must be nice.

Yep. Sometimes.

Now, listen, Charles

this is a difficult question, but is there any possibility

that your fiancée got cold feet and ran away?

The police said that she was forced into a car in an alley.

That was one eyewitness. It´s not all that reliable.

No. No.

She would not have bailed

in the middle of our wedding.

I understand that you came up to her room

just before the wedding-- Anything wrong? Any trouble?

No. No, no. Not at all.

She was just... she was so nervous leading up to this.

Being in New York

and, and planning and everything

I just wanted to make sure that she was okay.

WOMAN: Charlie, you know you´re not supposed to be here.

Five minutes, Jessie.

Five minutes.

Thank you.

Hi, I just wanted to get a look at you

before all the chaos started.

Oh, my God.

You are beautiful.

You don´t look too bad yourself.

So how you doing?

Are you ready?

Completely. You?

I have to admit I´m a little nervous.

( laughs )

It´s going to be great.

Everything is going to be great.

Wow. Sounds like you picked up a dose of serenity this morning.

You want some?

Yes, please.

Look that way.

How´s that?

That´s so much better.

Unfortunately, I have to wipe it off.

I love you.

I love you, too.

( clears throat )

Now get out of here. This is bad luck.

Okay, sorry. Thank you.

God, I can´t believe this is happening.

I...

And you should see my parents.

How guilty they look.

I feel so badly for them.

Guilty? How so?

Well, they assume that this is about them.

Their money.

Don´t you? If it´s about the money

we´ll know soon enough.

Audrey´s father and I were best friends...

and, as you know,

business partners for almost 20 years.

So you´ve known Audrey since she was a baby.

Her mother died in childbirth.

And after Arnold passed away, she came here to live with us.

And when was that?

Audrey must have been 11.

So she lived here with you until she went off to college?

No, it was four years.

Then she went away to boarding school,

and, uh... after that, college in California.

You know, that, uh... must´ve been a bit strange--

your son marrying a woman who´s almost like your stepdaughter.

They love each other.

That´s what´s important.

Are you just saying that, Mr. Beckworth?

It´s no secret that Audrey´s had her troubles.

I don´t think she ever recovered from her father´s death.

What kind of troubles?

Drinking, drugs...

running with the wrong crowd.

They´d throw her out of one school,

we´d get her into another.

Eventually, she moved out to California to live

and we lost touch...

until she and Charlie met up again out there.

And now, you´re not so sure her troubles are behind her.

I hope they are.

For Charlie´s sake.

Samantha-- Audrey´s room key.

The computer at the front desk keeps a log

of every time the room key´s used.

Someone used it Friday night, 11:45.

That would be Audrey returning from the rehearsal dinner, no?

I don´t think she got much sleep,

because the log shows that someone

used it again at 3:28 in the morning.

Maybe she slipped out to see the groom.

He slept at his parents´ house.

Got there at midnight and he never left.

And you´re thinking she was up to no good.

I´m thinking I had a friend

whose fiancée slept with the best man

the night before the wedding.

Ouch. Yep.

CHARLES: You know, everyone always told me, before you get married,

you should live with the person first, like a trial...

VIVIAN: If there´s anyone you don´t recognize, Mrs. Beckworth.

I told everyone we already did that.

For four years, and it worked out great.

So I´m a few years older than she is

so, back then, she was just like this bratty little kid,

invading my space.

So I didn´t pay that much attention to her.

But then, that day I bumped into her on the street in Berkeley,

she was this fantastic woman.

( guests applauding )

And then the tables were turned.

She wouldn´t even return my calls at first.

But eventually, I won her over.

Or maybe just wore her down.

( chuckles )

He´s so self-deprecating.

Cheers.

Is that the Maid of Honor?

Jessica Brighton.

They´ve known each other since grammar school.

This is, uh...

This is just so crazy.

I don´t know what I can tell you.

Did you see Audrey after the rehearsal dinner?

Uh, no.

I offered to spend the night with her,

but she said she wanted to be alone.

In what frame of mind would you say she was in?

To be honest,

she´s been more and more unhappy the last few months.

Would you say she was having second thoughts?

No. I-I think it was just being back in New York.

Anything particular about being back in New York?

She was pretty wild when she lived here.

What? Parties, drugs?

Well, yeah.

It´s not like she had a real problem.

She, she could just overdo it a bit.

You think she got back into the life when she came here?

No. She straightened herself out.

Does her husband know?

Sure. Of course, but... it´s not like

she´s a drug addict or anything.

She was just a little...

Wild. Right.

You said that.

She have any old boyfriends?

Charlie was pretty much the only boyfriend

she ever had.

Really?

Um, unless you count Stanton.

Stanton. Who´s Stanton?

He was this real loser we knew back in prep school.

He was everyone´s coke connection.

Audrey dumped him when she left

for California, but they sort of remained friends.

And she invited him to the wedding?

Audrey only invited him as a gesture.

He works in London,

so she never thought he´d come.

He took off kind of early,

but you should´ve heard the speech he gave

at the rehearsal dinner.

( tapping glasses )

( clears throat )

Audrey and I met

while skinny-dipping.

I can´t believe you invited him.

I can´t believe he came.

We weren´t together.

We just sort of swam into each other, if you know what I mean.

We shared a towel and became fast friends.

But seriously, Audrey is truly one of the great people.

She´s kind, she´s honest

she´s generous.

And she does one hell of a backstroke.

( laughs )

( weak, polite applause )

Some toast.

Sounds like a bad night in the Catskills.

Yeah, I admit I was

a little effusive at the rehearsal dinner.

I was just messing around.

What time did Audrey come to your hotel room that night?

After 2:00 a.m.?

What are you talking about?

JACK: You booked yourself a room in the hotel

for the entire weekend, when you have

an apartment here in the city.

Is that a crime?

She´s a little freaked out about getting married,

so she comes to your hotel room to blow off some steam, right?

We found traces of cocaine in your room.

Now, I might be willing to work out

a little deal about that later,

but if we find her fingerprints in that room,

your life just got a lot tougher.

Yeah.

She came to see me.

( snorting )

( sniffing )

What´s with you? Sit down.

I´m fine.

It´s cool.

Come on.

Here.

For old times.

I don´t know what I´m doing.

Getting cold feet?

No.

It´s just...

There are some things that I need to tell Charlie.

Ah, so, little Charlie doesn´t know

what a bad girl you are.

No, he doesn´t.

( chuckles, then sniffs )

Although after that toast...

( laughs )

Sorry if I got a little carried away.

You don´t have to do anything

you don´t want to.

You know that, right?

No, it´s not that.

Come on.

You´re not ready for the white picket fence.

You´re a party girl.

You need to be with someone who gets you.

Hmm?

Come on, Stanton.

What?

I´ll see you tomorrow.

I got to tell you,

after the way she was that night, fifty-fifty,

she´ll do a mad dash before the wedding.

Then I saw her up there with Charlie,

she seemed like she knew what she was doing.

You didn´t help her with this mad dash?

No way, man.

I took off at 10:00.

Where´d you go?

The lobby bar.

I ran up quite a tab.

You can ask the bartender.

I will.

So you planned all the events surrounding the wedding?

Everything, from the ballroom

to the flowers to the ring pillows.

Did Audrey show any signs of stress prior to the wedding?

You´re kidding, right? She was getting married.

Well, we thought sometimes the bride tells the wedding planner

things that she won´t tell anyone else.

Oh, believe me, I am half mother, half shrink.

It´s just part of my job.

You know, I do remember something.

It was about two weeks ago.

We were doing a walk-through.

So what do you think?

It´s beautiful.

Just wait till my lighting guys are through with it.

Yeah.

Hey, listen, I know that you wanted a smaller ceremony,

but I promise you this is going to be so special.

I know it is, and you´re doing a great job.

Aw, and Charlie really loves you

You can see it in his eyes.

Yeah, I´m very lucky.

( cell phone rings )

( phone beeps )

Hello?

No. Stop calling me.

We have nothing to talk about.

Just leave me alone!

I think it was just an ex-boyfriend or something,

but she certainly didn´t want to talk about it.

( cell phone rings )

Now it´s my turn.

Go ahead. Thanks for you help.

Oh, I guess we know why she lost her cell phone.

Yeah, but that sounds a lot more than just an ex-boyfriend.

That sounds like someone could have been stalking her.

If she knew that guy, that would explain

how he got her out there.

We´re thinking he shows up at the reception,

wants to talk to her, she doesn´t want to be seen with him

and that´s how they end up in the service area.

Which is right off the ballroom.

He can plan to lead her there easily.

Right. Once he´s got her there,

forces her down the hall with a gun and then out

into the alley. Where a getaway car is waiting.

How does Stanton´s alibi hold up?

Uh, well, the bartender remembers

serving him drinks until after midnight.

So it might not be about the money.

Yeah, his father was concerned about her past.

According to the groom, she was an angel.

I guess love is blind.

And deaf.

And very, very dumb.

Spoken like a true romantic.

What? You going to tell me he´s still buying into it?

Sure-- marriage, kids, the whole nine yards.

I didn´t say I was good at it, I just said I was a fan.

Graham Walker is here. Trust attorney for the auction house.

You want me to take it? No, I got it.

Keep combing her phone records, talk to friends.

Somebody´s going to know something about the stalker. Right.

I was hoping that you might be able

to fill me in on some of the details

of Audrey´s finances.

I can certainly give you the broad strokes.

Mr. Rose and Mr. Beckworth drafted a standard trust agreement

when they founded the company.

When Mr. Rose passed away,

his share of the company went into a lifetime trust for Audrey.

What did the trust stipulate?

Well, it´s, it´s pretty standard stuff really.

She has no say in the business,

but she receives a healthy share of the quarterly profits.

So, she didn´t have any financial difficulties?

Well, no, not until recently.

Mr. Walker. Hi, it´s Audrey Rose.

Hey, Audrey.

What can I do for you?

I need some money.

Is something wrong?

No, everything´s fine.

It´s for an investment.

Oh.

How much do you need?

$25,000.

What kind of investment is this?

Look, it´s with a friend.

Well, I´m sorry, Audrey, but for a loan that size,

I´d have to talk to Mr. Beckworth.

No.

Please.

Don´t tell him.

Why don´t you

come down to my office so we can talk about this in person.

I can´t.

Look, I´m sorry to bug you.

Thank you.

JACK: When was this?

About tnen days ago.

And you didn´t tell Mr. Beckworth about it?

No, no, I kept her confidence.

But I couldn´t figure out why she didn´t want

Mr. Beckworth to find out.

I can´t imagine why she would need $25,000.

It´s because she´s been blackmailed.

What? That´s crazy. For what?

We´re not sure, but she was definitely being harassed.

Oh, my God.

Charlie, you´ve been less than up-front with me.

You didn´t tell me that she didn´t want to come back to New York.

You didn´t tell me about how much trouble

she had in the past or her problem with drugs.

She experimented with cocaine

when she was 16, okay? Who didn´t?

You know that guy Stanton?

Yeah. He was her drug connection.

She went up to his room the night before your wedding.

Who told you that?

He did.

And he said what? That they slept together?

According to him, no.

But that´s not the point.

The point is, there was a lot more going on

in her life than you seem to know.

Just like I think there´s a lot more going on in your life

than you´re telling me.

I don´t know anything.

Come on, there must have been something, some kind of sign.

Did she have a fling? Maybe.

I don´t know. You keep referring to infidelity.

What´s that about?

All right, look.

I-I-I don´t know how this is going to help you,

but here goes: Last Sunday, we went ice-skating at the park.

I haven´t done this in years.

I´m going to make such a fool of myself.

( clears throat )

Charlie. Yeah.

There´s something I need to tell you.

I did something.

Something that I wish I could take back.

Oh, God.

I don´t know how to say this.

Hey, hey.

Just... just tell me this.

Do you love me?

Yes.

Of course.

With all my heart, yes.

And... you don´t have to tell me anything.

Okay?

JACK: And you didn´t want to hear what she had to say?

When I was in college, I cheated on my girlfriend once.

And I was so wrecked with guilt about it

that I felt like I had to tell her.

I was in love with that girl and it ruined everything.

But, Charlie, this is your fiancée.

I´m the one that dragged her back to New York, okay,

for my career, to be near my friends and my family.

If she... if she did something stupid

if she acted out a little bit,

I was not going to let that come between us.

She has issues

with men; it goes back

to her father´s death and not having him around.

And you´re going to do what?

Heal that?

I´m going to be patient

and understanding,

because what´s underneath all her insecurity is this...

this beautiful, brilliant generous soul,

and you´d think, you´d think that makes me a sap.

No.

Quite the opposite.

Hey, you escaped.

Ah. Oh.

Thank you.

So, what was Audrey like growing up?

Oh, she was just this great kid full of life and energy

and so artistic.

I remember,

she used to run around at Thanksgiving,

and she´d done this... fingerpaintings,

and she would pass them out as prizes.

That´s when she was a little girl?

Yes.

And how was she when she moved in with you?

Well, then, she would have been 11.

It was right after her father died,

and...

I guess that´s when things started to change and...

she, uh, she turned inward... really, and...

kept everything to herself.

You know, I think

I´m just, I´m getting really tired.

It has been a really long day.

Sure, of course.

Um, maybe I could go home for a while, you know, when...

We could pick this up later

or in the morning.

I tell you what, if we could just go through this next tape,

it would be a real help to me.

All right.

Danny, I got the info on Audrey´s cell phone.

Tons of calls from the same phone number.

A call comes in,

then another call back a minute later, then again

ten minutes later, consecutive days.

Does it match the time the wedding planner gave you? Yes it does.

Get the number? Yup.

It is registered to a Raymond Yates.

Nice. Then we have a social.

Uh-huh.

( keyboard clacking )

Excuse me. Do you know this guy?

He looks familiar.

He was on one of the tapes; I saw him.

At the wedding? Uh-huh. I remember, he was

one of the only guys not wearing a tux.

( knock at door )

Raymond Yates?

No, man, I´m... Brad.

Hey, Brad. Is Raymond here?

Uh, I haven´t seen him in a couple weeks.... couple days.

Who are you?

FBI. You don´t mind if we come in and take a look around,

do you, Brad? I don´t know.

What are you looking for?

Does that look like a water pipe to you, Agent Fitzgerald?

Oh... Certainly looks like one.

Maybe you need to have a look around upstairs.

Hey, don´t you need a warrant?

Shut up, Brad.

Okay, we got Sara, Heather, Shauna, Anita, Teresa, Audrey...

Home movies?

I ain´t got nothing to do with any of that stuff, man.

( muted chatter on tape )

Hey...

He came home with her one night

about a month ago, maybe.

She was pretty plastered.

Ray only hits on girls that are already drunk.

Guess it increases his odds.

You ever see her before?

I never would have seen her,

except I happened to be up at 4:00 in the morning.

( laughing )

Hi.

Did you see my skirt?

I think it... it´s behind your head.

Oh.

Where am I?

What do you mean?

What part of town?

Brooklyn.

Oh, God.

You think Audrey knew she was being videotaped?

No way.

But Ray always hides the camera.

Did he see her again?

No.

He was pretty stoked when he found out she was

a debutante and all.

He saw her picture in the paper.

She wasn´t like the skanks

he usually picks up on. What?

I just mean you could tell she was classy.

Does Ray have any family?

Yeah.

He´s got a brother, Kevin.

Lives in Jackson Heights, I think.

Hey...

Do you know this guy?

No.

You´re sure?

Yeah.

He was at your wedding.

There were 200 people at the wedding.

I-I never saw him.

JACK: I´m really sorry, Charlie.

Sorry that you have to find out about it this way.

I don´t understand.

If this is about money,

then why hasn´t this guy called in with a ransom?

We´re not sure.

That´s what she was trying to tell me at that skating rink,

and I didn´t let her.

What could you have done?

I don´t know.

Protected her.

It´s the young man´s disease.

What´s that?

Damsel in distress.

She needed to be saved, you need to save somebody.

Generally speaking, it´s a no-win situation.

People always tell me

that I´m so much like my mother;

I´m always trying to see the good in people.

Sometimes I think I´m just burying my head

in the sand so I don´t have to face

what´s really out there.

I wasn´t protecting her,

I was afraid of what she was going to tell me.

Charlie.

Are you all right?

DANNY: Just spoke to Jack.

Nobody at the Beckworth House has ever heard of Ray Yates.

You got it?

No... yeah, great.

Bring him in.

Okay.

Well, we got Yates´s brother.

They´re bringing him in.

Yes.

We have reason to believe

that your brother was involved in a kidnapping.

No, no way. My brother´s not that stupid.

Yeah, he is, and I think you know he is.

Aw, man...

Come on, what do you know?

I don´t see my brother for months and months, and

Saturday morning, he called me.

Said he needed me for something, said he´d pay top dollar.

He say what it was?

I wouldn´t even let him.

I´m not interested.

Look, I´m no saint.

I got my share of troubles, but I got a family now.

Let me ask you something: You care about your brother?

( sighing )

JACK: Stay calm.

Try not to get him upset.

What am I supposed to say? He trusts you.

Tell him you´re going to help him

out of a tough situation.

He´s got Caller ID. He´s gonna know it´s not me.

We´re gonna make it look like it comes from your house.

He won´t know the difference.

And you can trace it to his exact location?

If you can keep him on the phone long enough, yeah.

( sighs ) ( phone ringing )

Kevin?

What´s up, brother? Where are you?

Kev, you´ve changed your mind.

( whimpering )

What are you doing?

I knew you´d come through.

Hey, listen, uh...

Ca-Can you, uh...

( knocking )

Ray, why don´t you tell me where you´re at

and I´ll come and get you.

( knocking ) Hey, man, I can´t really talk right now.

What´s the matter? What´s going on?

Somebody´s here; I got to go.

Ray, tell me where you are.

( screaming )

Shut up! Shut the hell up!

( dial tone ) Ray!

Did you get it?

Do you know where he is?

East Village.

Did your brother ever live down there?

Did he work down there?

I don´t know. He was a bar back

at McCale´s for, like, six years

but they closed that down

about six months ago.

Get down now!

Okay, I got two down.

JACK: So is Yates.

OFFICER: All clear here. No sign of the girl.

He´s dead.

So is this one.

Well, this looks like a payoff gone bad.

Oh, hello.

JACK: What have you got?

This guy´s Tom Walsh, Deputy Chief of Security

for Rose and Beckworth Auction House.

Tom is dead?

Yes.

What about Audrey?

We don´t know where she is.

Do you?

What are you implying?

You neglected to tell us that you got a phone call

from the kidnappers and that

you were paying ransom.

They said that they would kill her.

And you thought...

your extensive knowledge of selling Ming vases

would help you prevent that?

I was stupid.

Obviously, it didn´t work out the way I had hoped.

When did they call?

A few hours after she was taken.

Before you arrived.

I need to know exactly what time on what phone.

I guess it was around 4:30.

On my home phone.

And they said what?

They said to send someone with $20,000 to McCale´s Pub

at noon today.

What was your plan?

Have Walsh kill the kidnappers--

not pay the ransom?

No, of course not.

I don´t know what he was thinking.

I suppose he was trying to play the hero.

Does Charlie know?

Charlie´s in no shape to deal with this.

I think you need to go home and tell him.

I think he might like to know.

Look what I found stashed in a hole

on the bathroom wall.

There´s almost 20 grand in here.

Does it belong to Yates?

Yeah. Wallet was thrown in, too.

And then Walsh shows up with another $20,000?

Convenient number.

Unless Walsh wasn´t bringing a ransom.

Unless Walsh was bringing a payment.

For a kidnapping.

That would make

this the down payment

and that would be for delivery.

SPADE: In which case,

Walsh was the accomplice.

He was the one driving the car that night.

Yeah, he must have been at the wedding.

Which would have made it easy for him to slip out.

Then who killed Walsh?

Must have been Audrey.

She could have been hiding

behind these pallets

or behind the bar.

She comes over here and grabs Ray´s gun.

Gutsy girl.

Hey, but you know, that would have been

in self-defense, and if that´s the case,

why hasn´t anyone

heard from her yet?

And here´s the other thing:

How does a slimy sex video blackmailer

end up as one-half

of a kidnapping team?

Well, we know that she couldn´t pay him,

so he goes after the wealthy father-in-law.

A videotape like that´s not too cool

for the society page.

Then Beckworth turns around and hires him to kidnap her

at the wedding?

Seems like an awfully long way to go

to cover up a sex scandal.

Well, Beckworth wanted her out of the picture for some reason.

I think he wanted her dead.

We can´t move on him yet.

We don´t have enough to make an arrest. Yeah.

Beckworth just left the auction house.

Made a stop at the bank and left with a suitcase.

On his way to Rio.

Is there any chance that Mrs. Beckworth

knows what her husband´s up to?

I don´t think so, but I think I do know

what´s going on with this family.

You want to fill me in? Still a hunch.

I´ll see what I can get out of her.

Let me know.

( glass clinking )

Anyone who knows me

knows that I can be a pretty tough guy.

But when Charlie was born,

I said to myself,

this is it.

I understand now why I´m here--

to love this boy...

to care for this boy, to teach this boy.

And now when I look at him,

I think I´ve done a pretty darn good job.

( laughter )

Thanks, Dad.

( applause )

( Beckworth clearing throat )

And, um, now...

he has someone else

to love him and care for him...

and maybe even teach him a thing or two.

And I must say

I couldn´t be more delighted

to be able to share these duties

with Audrey--

the daughter I never had...

...but always loved like one.

( applause )

CHARLIE: Hear, hear.

I-I don´t understand.

Why am I watching this?

Because something in this family

isn´t right, Mrs. Beckworth.

I don´t... I don´t know what you´re talking about.

What happened between your husband and Audrey

when she came to live with you?

You do realize

that all her problems-- the drugs, the sex--

it´s all about whatever happened in your house.

Your husband hired a man

to kill Audrey.

Do you want to live with a man that does that kind of thing?

And what about your son?

Tell me, Mrs. Beckworth. I know you know.

I didn´t.

I swear I didn´t, not till... that night.

Not until then.

I was just being nice.

What´s your problem?

I mean it-- don´t touch me again.

Oh, come off it.

We´re family now.

I´m going to tell Charlie.

I´m going to tell him everything.

Come on. He´ll never believe you.

I... I don´t even believe you, and I was there, wasn´t I?

AUDREY: In Italy, when we´re away from here,

I´m going to tell him what you did to me.

He´ll have two weeks to believe me.

He´ll hate us both.

Not me.

I´m wiping the slate clean.

You´re going to do no such thing.

Not after what I did for you.

He came to me--

that Ray,

with your lovely videotape.

I paid him off.

Why would you do that?

Because I knew if that ever got to Charlie

you´d have nothing to lose,

and then you´d tell him everything.

So... why don´t we

just agree that we´ve both got something to hide

and leave it at that.

I´m telling him.

After the wedding.

And you won´t see either of us again.

Audrey...

I... I think back now

and I should have known.

All those times, I...

I went to bed and he stayed up, and...

how he insisted that her bedroom be downstairs.

Oh, that bastard!

What he must have been doing to her.

( choked up )

How...

how couldn´t I have seen it?

I should have seen it.

That poor little girl.

I mean, she was my responsibility.

( sighs )

Mrs. Beckworth, we´re going to arrest your husband.

We´re going to need you to testify.

He just got here five minutes ago.

Any word on Audrey? No, not yet.

CHARLIE: Audrey, no!

Put the gun down!

FBI! Put the gun down.

Get away from me!

Audrey put the gun down now.

He tried to kill me!

He hired Ray to kill me, and now Walsh!

Audrey, please.

You tell them.

You tell them what you did to me.

Audrey, we know everything.

Put the gun down.

BECKWORTH: She´s crazy.

They were waiting here for me.

She told him some insane story,

and she´s been waiting

here to kill me.

I won´t kill you if you tell your son the truth.

Audrey, put the gun down.

Audrey, Audrey, please.

Listen, I-I-I believe you, okay?

I love you.

And we´ll get through this. Just please,

put the gun down, please.

Please.

Just give me the gun, okay?

( sobbing )

Whoa!

( grunting )

Charlie...

Charlie...

Charlie! You son of a bitch!

You sick son of a bitch!

She´s lying, Charlie.

How could you believe her

and not me?

Go to hell. You go to hell.

Charlie...

BECKWORTH: She´s lying, Charlie.

Sick son of a bitch.

She´s lying!

Shut up.

You going to call it a night?

Uh-huh.

So what do you think?

The DA going to press charges?

Well, with a good attorney and her mother´s testimony,

I would say the odds are, the father´s the one going to jail.

Yeah. You know, I just keep wondering if Charlie knew all along.

I mean, he was in that house, too.

Who knows? Maybe that´s why he married her.

He was trying to save her.

Maybe.

Maybe it was love.

Why don´t you get out of here.

Go on a date or something.
