Original subtitles

Hey, Carrie, so what up?

Girl, you looking fly!

- Walk with me, you can't talk like that. - Fine.

- Hey, did you call me last night? - No.

Ok. Uh... 'cause I was up watching Terminator 2, I thought...

- maybe... - T 2? Again?

- I've only seen it twice. - Seven times.

We saw it at the Syracuse Seven two Fridays ago, when you...

kept trying to kiss me, and,

- you saw it by yourself at the Regency and... - Stop. Ok? You're my most annoying friend.

I'm your only friend.

Looky, looky, looky.

- Oh, great. - Hey, Joey.

- You're looking so hot today. - Yo.

And M. Potato Head called,

he wants his complexion back.

- Aren't you late for class, guys? - Oh, hey, it's Scary Carrie.

- Yeah, we're not too worried. - You should be, Danielle.

You have six tardies in physics,

four of them absences,

and Jason, if you're gonna cut English again, like you did...

at 3:03 last Tuesday,

you probably shouldn't go brag about it in the cafeteria 37 minutes...

- later. - How does that feel, to be a freak?

I don't know. How does it feel to be

too dumb to remember you asked me that last month?

I got a question.

You guys are scared of the dark?

- No, no. - Come on guys. No.

Wait, guys!

- I'm not coming out. - Carrie?

It was 20 years ago. You're gonna be fine.

These are mean people, Al.

They locked me in a closet with Joey Falk.

You disarmed terrorists, faced down assassins...

This is high school.

And no terrorist or assassin

ever voted me Most Likely To Be Single Forever.

Really? That's what you got?

- Yeah. - Look,

I won't let them pick on you.

- Promise? - I promise.

Now, come on.

It'll be an adventure. Now let's go.

- Just breathe. - This feels so.

- You're gonna be fine. - I know.

Oh my God.

- It's Hank Bronski. - Hank who?

Hank Bronski prom king.

Quarterback.

- Are you blushing? - Now he's coming over. Let go, let go.

I had to come over and say hello.

- Hello. - Al Burns?

Hank, Bronski.

You partnered with my uncle in the Syracuse PD.

- David Corwin. - Dave Corwin, son of a bitch.

- How's he doing? - Great.

He used to tell the story about a time

that you climbed...

Hank Bronski. It's very nice to meet you Mrs. Burns.

No, I'm...

you actually went to school with me.

- Carrie Welles. - Carrie Welles?

Wait, Scary Carrie?

- Scary Carrie? - Oh, no... no one calls me that anymore.

You were my number one "will be".

Not sure I like the sound of that.

It means "will be"...

- Hot. - Aww.

- I guess I was dead-on. - Well...

Thank you, Hank.

- That... that's... - So, Carrie mentioned you played quarterback.

What kind of team you had?

Oh pretty good. We went to State Finals against Troy.

Yeah, he threw for 387 yards

and three touchdowns.

- I'm... I'm honored that you... - Easy there ***, she remembers everything.

Who are the screamers?

Ah, Bella Crebs.

She's the one on the left, she was my girlfriend sophomore year.

The other is Melanie Lathom.

They were kind of...

best-friends-rivals.

You've screwed every guy at this school.

More rivals than friends.

- Well, Melanie was also my... - Your girlfriend.

Sophomore year, yeah.

Sounds like a good year.

- Who didn't you go out with? - Hey, Hank!

Nice chatting with you, Hank.

How did you let him get away?

- Do I detect a note of jealousy? - Hardly.

For the record, I threw four touchdowns, and 457 yards for the State Final.

Oh, it's impressive.

What's up with that?

Oh, you know that band Locked and Upright?

Gets a little fuzzy for me after Springsteen.

It's the lead singer.

Lance Burke. He was in our class.

Oh, so you and...

No! Eww! No, no, no, no.

He was a stoner and he never bathed.

Ok. So we got the...

stoners, the jocks, the queen-bees...

- Where did you fit? - Newsflash.

I didn't.

- So what is that, a single malt? - Yep.

- Let me see the bottle. - You bet.

- Two whiskeys. - Coming up.

- Melanie, right? - Scary Carrie.

No one calls me that anymore.

I'm Melanie Lambert. I'm...

sure you weren't in our class.

No, I went to Central.

Al Burns. You better be careful, Al, Melanie likes...

- quarterbacks hot. - Wait, not the Al Burns,

undefeated-All-State-champs,

- Al Burns? - Whose reunion is this?

As a matter of fact...

Oh, my brother went to Central, he's going to flip

when I tell him I saw you in here.

So, Melanie, what... what... what do you do? What have you been up to?

Venture capital.

The Claymond Group, here in the city.

That's impressive.

I do Far East for them. Last week was Jakarta,

I have to be in Beijing on Monday.

What about you guys?

We're cops.

Giving back to the community.

Good for you.

You have a card?

I've been getting a lot of creepy hang-ups lately.

We don't do that.

- We... we work in Major Crimes. - No problem.

It was great to see you Carrie. Al.

Why didn't you just... get a room?

- Do I detect some jealousy? - Carrie?!

Joey!

I was hoping you'd be here.

Joey was my only friend in school. This is Al.

I heard you were a cop.

- Yes. - It was on the alumni website.

Actually, I run the site.

Well... Joey was, uh, president of the AV club.

And the Carrie Wells fan club.

You know, Al's my... my partner.

I was just telling him about you, actually.

Not the closet story.

- The closet story? - There he is.

Good news:

I'm giving out Noogies at half price.

That's right, always original, Tommy.

Scary Carrie!

- No one calls me... never mind. - Hey!

You know those kind of people that show you pictures of everything going on in their life,

- Here we go. - ... bad news...

I am that guy. Check this out.

It's my fishing boat.

"The Knotty Girl".

You get it? "Knotty" as in Nautical.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get that. - Wait, wait, here's my family.

Uh, wait, they're in here somewhere.

- That's amazing. - Yes.

- Be right back, gotta go feed the meter. - Wait, don't worry.

I'm just gonna show Joey my pictures.

Did you know...

The fine art of bacon wrapping

was first introduced to the shores in 1654 by the Dutch.

You know, I think...

we have put in more than enough face-time here, let's blow this popsicle stand.

But the night is still young.

Thank you for coming with me.

Someone help, please help!

Tommy?

UNFORGETTABLE S02E13 - Reunion -

Well, cause of death isn't a mystery.

Crushed parietal bone, and avulsion of the cranium.

Somebody bashed his head in.

Any of your classmates arrive with a lead pipe?

Maybe my history teacher, Professor Plum.

Candlestick might also work.

Ok, I got his belongings.

30 bucks are still there.

- Keys, couple of lotto tickets. - Where's his phone?

Probably left it inside.

No, he was pretty attached to that phone, I mean, he kept...

showing everyone pictures that were on it.

I'm gonna lock down the hotel.

We need to cover every inch of this place, including everyone at the reunion.

Nobody leaves.

- Think they'll mind? - You think I care?

I got this.

Class of '93.

Remember how we used to do detention in Mr. Sievers' office?

- It's gonna be kinda like that, guys. - Isn't she incredible?

Step back, and take a seat.

Wow, is that Carrie in high school?

Where'd you get that?

Carrie hooked us into the reunion website.

I got a list of all the folks who showed up, maybe someone pops.

Carrie, with the one strap freshmans overalls...

I have an older sister, you know, she...

Hey, you get anything on our victim Tommy Garland?

Nothing in our indexes bump.

I'm still waiting on Syracuse PD.

- Ok. Any luck on his phone? - Nothing yet.

I'm hoping his GPS is enabled and

the phone's still on. Otherwise we gotta hope he's backed up to the cloud.

You can break into someone's cloud?

Oh yeah, any teenager with a nullscan can.

Why? Why do you got on your cloud?

Well after tonight, not much.

Hey, I'm just wondering, you ever loop Eliot into us helping Carrie.

Well, I thought you did.

Really? 'Cause I thought you did.

That's cool.

Yes sir...

Carrie Wells. Bella Crebs.

How are you, Bella?

Oh, I'd be a lot better if I knew how long this was going to take.

We have Phantom tickets tomorrow night.

- Wow. - If everyone cooperates,

you should make the overture.

So, Bella, did you stay in touch with Tommy after high school?

Oh hardly.

I ran into his ex,

Tina something, at the new mall on Hampshire, a while back.

She was complaining he was a dead-beat.

That's it.

- A dead... a dead-beat how? - Uh, I guess he owed her

back alimony, bounced a couple of checks, didn't sound pretty.

Did she mention anyone else he may have owed money to?

Sorry.

So sad.

This is how we'll remember our 20th reunion.

No one seems too upset about this guy.

I think... Tommy was mostly friends with Hank,

and Hank's friends just kinda tolerated Tommy.

What the hell is it again, Tommy?

40 left, 18 right, 22 left.

I was... behind you in orientation.

- Is that just... slightly creepy? - No. It's not.

Hey,

I'm having a party at my place, Saturday night.

You should come.

- Maybe... thanks. - Dude,

are you like, insane?

Must be, to hang out with you idiots.

He was a poser, and...

Bad news, I'm that guy. Check this out.

It's my fishing boat.

"The Knotty Girl".

Those photos Tommy showed us...

- I gotta make a phone call. - Wait, wait, wait, where are you going?

- We have fifty people to interview. - You just take the next one, I'll be back.

They're not going anywhere.

We ran everything we could find on Tommy, then and now. You're right.

Sounds like he was in a lot of trouble.

Money mostly, after his wife left him.

Foreclosure, tax liens...

Yeah, he showed us a picture of a boat that he said was his,

a very big, expensive boat.

I'm sure the banks are enjoying it.

But it gets worse, last month, Tommy got into a bar fight in Syracuse.

No arrest, but we're tracking down witnesses, see what that was all about.

Hey, Carrie? We got some information coming in off Tommy's cloud.

Looks like he had his phone backed up.

Well, what do you got?

You said, Tommy's body was discovered at 10:47, right?

We got activity on his phone at 10:54.

GPS puts it in the hotel

- after he was dead. - What kind of activity?

Working on it.

But you locked down the room at 10:50.

That means whoever killed Tommy is still in the room,

right now.

Ok, that fight Tommy got into was with a guy named Hank Bronski.

Hank... Bronski?

I still can't believe this. I mean he was...

- just here. - You and Tommy have any problems lately, Hank?

Problems? Like... what?

The kind you might fight about in a bar? Two months ago in Syracuse.

At the Queen's Bridge?

I was... with clients and suddenly Tommy came up to the table,

totally... wasted, and started bringing up...

school stuff.

- What kind of school stuff? - The usual. How I got all the girls.

How was my life so great... you know.

Whatever... you're not, thinking I had anything to do with this?

We don't really know what to think at this point, Hank, I mean...

it does sound like Tommy was jealous of you.

How did you get all the girls?

Did he mention anything else? Was that it?

Actually, he talked about tonight.

The reunion. I don't know, it was weird, he kept talking about Vicky Lannister.

- The girl who died in 10th grade. Remember her? - Yeah, yeah. I do.

- Oh, I'm sorry. - It's fine.

Wh... what was he saying about her?

I don't... remember. Honestly, it was all part of a rant.

He said something would happen

tonight, that would turn his life around.

Probably not what he meant.

So, how did all this turn into punches being thrown?

I, uh...

I had to get him outta there, so I...

guess I pushed him, and he took a swing at me.

He gave me no choice.

- Ask the people at the bar. - Oh, we will.

That's it, for now, Hank, thanks.

All right.

They fought a month ago,

maybe the get into a fight tonight, I mean... Hank is a...

- big guy. - Oh yeah. He's built.

He obviously works out.

- Stop it. - You stop it.

So, who's this Vicky Lannister?

Well, she was...

an outsider.

Kinda like me.

So you were friends?

No. Not really.

- Oh, I'm sorry. - It's fine.

You're Carrie Wells, right?

- I'm... - Vicky Lannister.

I read your poem in the school paper.

- It was... - Super lame.

Watch out.

- Dork fest, 1st floor science building. - Get outta here Judy.

Or what?

You're gonna like, remember me to death or something?

Yeah, maybe I will.

You can do that?

Let's go.

Can't you see these two are in love with each other.

- * Two girls...* - * Two girls in love *

How did she die?

Hit and run.

After Hank's...

tenth grade graduation party, actually,

she was walking along a curvy stretch road...

She was alone?

Yeah.

We had a vigil for her.

I remember that, at school.

Everybody cried.

And then life went on.

You were sixteen.

Still.

- Ah, that's Jay for you. - Thank you.

Hey Jay.

Hey Carrie, we were able to put together Tommy's cloud's storage,

contacts, emails, photos, I'm sending them to your cellphones right now.

I'm looking over your yearbook, congratulations on being VP of the Spanish Club.

Uh, mucho impresivo.

Muy thank you.

Ok, so far, nothing in Tommy's emails or messages,

lot of back and forth with is loan officer.

He was definitely cash-strapped.

He has like four trillion photos.

- Wait a second... - What?

There's a picture missing.

And look,

here's my family...

Wait, they're in here somewhere.

A jacket.

Ok, so the guy had a picture of a jacket.

I've seen the jacket before.

Vicky was wearing the jacket the night she died.

- Same kind of jacket? - The exact jacket.

Tonight, a picture of that jacket is deleted from Tommy's phone.

What if there was more to Vicky's death, than just...

a hit and run? Tommy knew about it.

And it got him killed.

Told you tonight would be an adventure.

Ok, so we're looking for any connection between the murder of Tommy Garland,

and the death of Vicky Lannister.

We got nothing yet.

But I'm talking to a guy in Syracuse PD.

Now, they didn't start digitizing police files until 1995.

So they're putting together everything they can on the Lannister case.

Scanning it.

Problems with the monitor, Jay?

Eliot, it's the murder at St. Dames.

- Carrie knew all those people. - Al, please...

We're called Major Crimes for a reason.

If it's major to you guys, it's major to me.

That's... nice.

Of course, we host 1200 reunions a year, which brings in millions of dollars worth of revenue...

- Ok, a little less nice. - And...

It's hard enough to face down tortured adolescents without your brains bashed in.

And bashed in they were.

I've confirmed the murder weapon to be a standard issue claw hammer.

Lacerations to the middle meningeal artery,

and a perforating injury to the brain.

Not the most efficient way to kill somebody.

You realize that more people were killed with hammers last year,

- than with rifles. - Not to mention all the smashed thumbs.

Oh, we're thinking blackmail, maybe.

Guy knows something about the girl's death, he comes to the reunion to

squeeze whoever's responsible.

- What? - I'm surprised.

You came up with a theory.

And not a bad one actually.

Explains the hammer. Weapon of convenience.

We also found steel shaving under the cranium.

So you find me the hammer, we can trace it to the body.

I'll check with the hotel, see if any employees have lighter tool case than usual.

See?

Here we go.

We're getting stuff in, from Syracuse.

That's the Vicky Lannister crime scene, from 20 years ago.

Wait a second.

Where's the jacket?

She was wearing that jacket when she left the part, I'm sure of it.

Well, that's all they got. there's definitely no jacket.

Well someone must have taken it after they hit her.

And then 22 years later,

Tommy Garland shows up at the reunion with a picture of it on his phone.

I think he was involved in Vicky's death,

- or he knew who was. - Hey guys,

hotel security footage just came in.

This is the back staircase exit on 51st.

Someone who need to get away from where the killing took place, would use these.

Like this guy.

That's one minute after Tommy's body was found.

Fast-forward ten minutes later...

he's sneaking back in.

That's Carl Benson, our tenth grade English teacher. He was...

Mr. Hip.

Always recruiting kids to be part of his posse. Especially the cool girls.

_

And maybe the not-so-cool girls.

_

I saw Vicky's yearbook.

"While I am I, you are you,

so long as the world contains us both."

"Always yours."

"C.B."

I'm an English teacher, and that is a quote from Robert Browning.

That is a very romantic quote from Robert Browning.

And I wanna know why you wrote it

in the yearbook of a sixteen-year-old girl.

If you are suggesting that anything happened

between me and Vicky Lannister...

And that you murdered her twenty-two years ago,

yeah, that is exactly what I'm suggesting.

I don't understand. Wh... what does this have to do with Tommy Garland?

22 years is a long time.

You probably thought you'd gotten away with it.

And Tommy, what?

- Confronts you, tries to blackmail you? - Stop.

Ok. As far as Vicky is concerned, nothing ever happened, I swear it.

Just like, nothing ever happened with you and Suzie Jacobs.

The young girl who got you fired from the Bancroft Academy.

I've made mistakes.

And yeah, I had feelings for Vicky, but I never,

acted on them.

We mainly just talked about poetry.

She would read things outside of class, and no one else would.

You know, the romantics,

- and Arthurian legends... - Wow.

You are a regular Lancelot, Carl.

I swear that's it.

I... I encouraged her to start the poetry club, and...

offered to advise it, like...

The night that Vicky died,

I was devastated.

I was also in Montreal.

With a former student.

Of course you were.

All right.

Why did you try to sneak out of the hotel tonight?

I was meeting a few faculty members. We...

smoked some weed.

And there was a Ma�tre D' outside of the restaurant,

he had to chase us down the street, so...

I'm sure you can find him.

- All right, you say you and Vicky were close. - Yeah.

Well, she must have,

confided in you, told you personal things.

Did she ever mentioned anything about her home life?

Anyone who might want to her hurt, any trouble she was having...

Yeah, it was a long time ago, but I remember...

she mentioned a guy was bugging her, a student was following her around...

I remember because I was going to report...

Did she... did she ever mentioned his name?

No, she never mentioned who...

She didn't want to get anybody in trouble.

I thought everything was all right.

You thought wrong.

So where are we with Carl Benson?

Carl Benson. It looks like he has alibi for both murders.

He did mention that there was some guy bothering Vicky back in high school.

He didn't know who.

- Jay is trying to find him. - Good.

Al, I remember every minute of high school like it happened yesterday.

You know, every...

loaded word, every sideways glance, but...

but I don't think I really understood it.

I bet you understood enough.

I was such an outsider,

that I think I spent a lot of my time

imagining what other people's lives were like.

- You were never on the outside in high school. - I got cut from varsity in ninth grade, that counts.

Ok, be honest with me.

- Sure. - Do you think,

if you and I had gone to high school together, you would have...

you would have gone out with me?

Yeah.

You're lying. You wouldn't have even noticed me, would you?

I'd have noticed you.

But I was... I was a dork.

And... and you were, a football star.

I have a hard time believing you were a dork.

Well, I am glad we did not meet in high school.

I think you would have broken my heart.

Instead we met as adults, and you broke mine.

Hey.

Ok, so Vicky's high school life is proving a little tough to reassemble.

She didn't leave much of a footprint.

But I followed up on that poetry thing.

The school has all their yearbooks online. Turns out,

she started a Victorian Poetry club.

- But it only had three other members. - That's a shocker.

- Got a list of the members? - You know I did.

Meet Eleanor Yellen, 4.5 GPA.

Went on to be an English major at Vassar.

Then we got Christine Ellis,

cellist in the orchestra.

But then there's...

Greg Zoller.

Definitely not a poetry club type.

His school record reads like a rap-sheet.

Detention, suspensions, mostly for fighting...

Only class he got higher than a C in, was "auto-shop". Yeah, this could be our guy.

You got a real rap-sheet?

- Still waiting on it... - Got it!

I figure "you are in for a penny you are in for a pound", am I right?

Behold.

An expedited rap-sheet on Greg Zoller.

Couple of DUIs, burglary, then last year,

he steps it up.

Convicted for assault with a deadly weapon.

What kind of deadly weapon?

Working at a Fast and Lube outside Albany,

some guy gets on his nerves,

Zoller goes after him with the first thing he can find...

a claw-hammer.

Hey Greg. Police, you got a minute?

Remember me? Carrie Wells.

We were in algebra together until you flunked out.

Scary Carrie.

No one calls her that anymore.

- I'm telling you. I didn't do anything. - That's right, Greg.

Because innocent people, they always run when the police show up.

I'm on probation.

I'm not supposed to go anywhere without...

telling my probation officer.

- He always says no, so I just went. - You stayed in touch with Tommy Garland?

- I haven't seen him since high school. - What about Vicky Lannister?

You remember Vicky Lannister?

Yes, I remember Vicky.

You remember Hank's party the night she died?

I remember there was a party.

I wasn't invited.

Hey Greg.

Here's the problem with lying to me,

basically I remember everything,

I was at the party, so were you.

Let's start over.

Fine, I was there.

I knew Vicky was going...

- It pissed me off a little. - Why?

We were the outsiders, and...

That was our thing.

And now the quarterback invites her to a party,

she's just... gonna go?

I mean, come on...

A quarterback?

- You were in love with her. - I was sixteen.

Maybe.

Of course I was, anyway, I crashed the stupid party.

Did you see her there?

I got there,

I told her we should go, that it was a joke.

She wouldn't hear that.

She told me to leave.

So I went outside, and I chunked a beer.

And when I came back in...

I so her walking to a room.

The lights were off.

But what I heard...

She was with a guy.

I don't know who with.

Which... which room was it?

Downstairs, one of those, uh, off-limits rooms.

The office.

Hey, Lance, you plan on sharing those?

- Uh, not a chance. - Really?

Lance Burke.

- Hey Lance. Hey Carrie.

So what can I do for you?

You always travel with an entourage, Lance?

- Kind of a clich�, isn't it? - I'm nothing if not predictable.

And all these people say I shouldn't talk to you.

But what the hell. Sit. Can I get you something?

- Lance, you don't have to say anything. - This is highschool stuff dude,

we went to school together.

It doesn't involve you. In fact,

everyone out.

- Except, you two. - Well, thanks Lance.

That was not predictable. That's for sure.

So, what do you wanna know?

Sophomore year, gradutation party.

At Hank Bronski's, you remember it?

Uh, kinda.

Honestly, I barely remember sophomore year.

Back then, I was either doing drugs or playing music.

- Usually both at the same time. - So, the graduation party...

Do you remember making out with Vicky Lannister in the downstairs office?

Wow!

This is the Vicky Lannister we're talking about?

- The one who got hit by a car? - Yeah.

No way.

Absolutely not.

- No. - So,

what where you doing in the office that night?

You're joking?

She looks like she's joking?

Wait, was it the room with the wood panelling and stuff?

- Yeah. - Ok, I do remember.

It was the first time I was gonna do blow.

My uncle had scored me some.

I did a recon mission on the house,

and where I could lay out the rails.

You know, the lines of coke.

Yeah, we aware.

I found the perfect spot,

totally private.

No one's gonna mess with daddy's office, right?

So I had like three lines going

and I felt this big hand on my shoulder.

And there's the man himself, screaming.

"Get outta here, my folks are gonna kill me,

I'm gonna call the cops", blah blah...

So I booked.

The man himself?

- Hank Bronski? - Yeah.

The quarterback.

Saw him at the reunion, still a jerk.

See.

All right, yeah, I hooked up with Vicky that night.

Seems like something you should have mentioned to the police, 22 years ago, Hank.

Unless you had a reason not to, and,

sure looks like you did.

A couple months ago, you had a fight with Tommy,

about Vicky.

And now Tommy's dead too.

Getting close and personal with you,

got a funny way of making people dead, Hank.

I didn't do anything wrong.

At least not to Tommy.

Is there something you need to get off your chest?

That night,

I, uh...

I was with Bella, back then, and she got in this huge fight...

With you?

Melanie, seriously, give me back the jacket.

It's mine. I can't even believe you had the nerve to show up wearing it.

- It's not yours. - He bought it for me!

No...

with Melanie.

Yeah, that's right.

I had just broken up with her, and she didn't take it...

real well. So I let them have their,

drama, and I went to my dad's office.

Maybe Lance was there, I don't remember.

But that's where you ran into Vicky.

I guess she followed me in.

Honestly, I didn't even know who she was.

But she was nice.

Different. Kinda...

direct.

Direct how?

She told me she liked me.

That she'd never been with a guy.

The way that she looked at me...

she was...

so genuine, you know?

Yeah, I know.

Things...

heated up, pretty quick. It's not...

like you think. I realized I can't do this.

So I left. I told her...

that she could hang out,

but she said she was fine,

and when I found out the next day that she was dead...

I never told anyone about this.

I got it.

You recognize this?

Yeah, it's...

it's mine. Where did you get this?

Syracuse PD found it buried under Tommy Garland's back porch.

Little worse for wear.

Tell me about the jacket, Hank.

Uh...

I bought it with Melanie, I let her wear it around,

when we broke up, I took it back.

Bella, was into it too...

Melanie saw her with it that night,

and then, it was on.

- He bought it for me. - What are you talking about.

Stop being so dramatic.

Neither of you get the jacket.

I was so sick of it, I grabbed it...

There were a lot of people at that party that night,

I figured someone, took off with it, later.

You figured right, Vicky did.

The only problem with your story, Hank, is that you...

You said you didn't know who Vicky was before she followed you into your father's office, right?

But I saw her wearing that jacket that night, before the fight.

There's no way.

Bella.

You're right.

Remember what I said about seeing

- but not understanding? - Yeah.

I was sure I saw Vicky in the kitchen wearing that jacket, but it was Bella.

What if somebody else amde the same mistake?

Then who wanted to kill Bella?

Someone who is deadly jealous of her,

- and that. - Melanie, seriously, give me back the jacket.

You're just gonna stand there looking like an idiot?

Melanie Lambert.

It's great to see you, Carrie.

Al.

Ok, here's the theory:

by the time Melanie leaves the party,

she's drunk, half out of her mind with jealousy,

she's driving home, and she "sees" Bella.

wearing the jacket, her jacket...

She's alone, side of the road,

and bang.

Only it's not Bella,

it's Vicky.

But I don't think Melanie, was going home.

Hank lived here, Melanie lived to the north here;

If she's on 273 South, she's not going home.

You know where she might be going?

Oldtown Reservoir.

Rumor has it, popular high school make-out spot.

Rumor has it, popular cop

- make-out spot. - Oh, that's not a rumor.

Ok, so that explains why she was in the car with Tommy.

She didn't plan to kill Bella.

She just wanted to get back at Hank.

So, she's on her way to the make-out spot,

with Hank's friend, Tommy,

it's dark, they're both drunk,

they probably didn't realize that Bella wasn't Bella,

until they got up-close to Vicky's body.

But at that point, why does she stil take the jacket?

Like a trophy?

Maybe, maybe.

No, but then...

she gives it to Tommy and tells him to get rid of it,

- which he doesn't. - Yeah, I'm thinking, Tommy panicks,

decides to keep the jacket close where it won't be found,

it won't be traced back to him, it's only later,

when his life has turned to crap,

that he decides to get his payout, at the reunion.

I'm buying it, except for two things.

I can't put Tommy and Melanie together at that reunion,

and I can't out them together at that party 22 years ago.

Ok,

so the police report said something about blue paint transfer from

the car to Vicky's clothing, right?

Yeah, we check with DMV,

neither Tommy nor Melanie had a blue car.

But Melanie's aunt, Laura, did.

A blue 85 Cutlass.

It seems aunt Laura is on a cruise.

We're trying to get ahold of her, but...

the morning after Vicky died,

an insurance claim was filed for that Cutlass.

For front end damage.

- Joey! - Carrie.

- Sorry, is this a bad time? - N... uh,

well,

what are you doing here?

I wanted to see if you were going to the memorial, for Tommy.

Word is...

Lance is doing an acoustic mini-set.

I'd love to. We're... we're sort of in the

- peak of it, you know what I mean... - I thought you might say that.

Yeah.

I brought you a little memento, from back in the day.

Wow.

You were just, looking at the window,

thinking of something.

Joey,

do you remember Hank's tenth grade graduation party?

- Kinda, I guess. - You were taking photos, remember?

Yeah, sure.

Do you still have any of those photos?

I have every photo I took in high school, I...

I was in charge of the montage for the reunion...

- but then... - That's... Joey, Joey!

Can I get a look at those photos, can I get them?

Sure. Yeah...

does this mean I'm helping you?

- I'll see you at the memorial. - I'm on it.

I'll save you a seat.

Tommy and I met in...

eighth grade English class.

That was not his best subject.

I remember he asked me why there were no hobbits in Lords of the Flies.

Tommy...

became a great

friend to me, and, uh...

like all of you, I really can't believe

he's gone.

But, uh, we played together for three years on the South Platt...

football team...

- And I've never... - You know I'm glad you stuck around.

Wow, this...

reminds me of that memorial we had for Vicky Lannister in high school.

Remember that?

God, that's right.

So sad.

I'm terrible. I'm gonna run in a minute.

Plane waiting for me at Teterboro.

Were you in love with Hank, during high school?

Wait, is...

Joey having you running an article for his website?

No.

I just remembered that jean jacket you guys bought together.

It was... it was so romantic.

The one with the...

pattern on the patch in the back, you remember that?

Carrie, unlike I've thankfully forgotten

- most of high school. - Not me.

Not by a long shot.

You know, I... I especially remember

how mad you were, when Bella wore that jacket.

At Hank's aprty, sophomore year.

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about Vicky Lannister, I'm talking about Tommy Garland.

I'm talking about the fact that you tried to make Hank jealous

which is why Tommy, was in your aunt Laura's car that night.

I was never

ever with Tommy Garland.

Yes you were.

You just hated Bella so much.

Saw her walking along the side of the road alone...

What you tried to scare her?

Swerve into her?

Either way...

you killed the wrong girl.

It's a good story.

If only Tommy

had gotten rid of that jean jacket like you told him to.

So now I've killed Tommy and Vicky?

Anything else you wanna pin on me?

JFK?

Kurt Cobain?

Oh no, we... we know you didn't kill Tommy.

But we want your help to nail who did.

Your old boyfriend...

Hank Bronski.

He said, uh...

that they were the happiest of his life.

And I know that's true for...

a lot of us.

So you think Hank

and Tommy were working together to blackmail me?

We know they were.

Tommy was too chicken to do it alone,

so he, reached out to his old football buddy.

Hank's real eastate business hasn't recover from '08,

He's into the banks, IRS, he's desperate.

And the... Vicky Lannister thing?

Deal is that... it goes away?

Yeah, that goes away.

It was 22 years ago.

We want to catch Tommy Garland's killer now.

So how does this work?

Meet Hank in his room,

offer to pay the blackmail,

get him to show you the jacket, that's it.

And hopefully, we find the murder weapon in there too.

Fine.

Let's do it.

Hank.

We have some business to conclude.

When?

Give me your room key.

15 minutes.

- Hi. - We were wondering where that was.

You're under arrest...

for the murders of Tommy Garland,

and Vicky Lannister.

- What about my immunity? - It's funny,

I don't remember any immunity.

Your pal Hank really came through.

This song's for Tommy. And for all of us.

* I loved you *

* my sweet and lonely stranger of a friend *

* held you but couldn't share your soul *

* and if the time should come again *

* for kissing in the hall *

* meet me like we never left at all *

* so goodbye *

* sweet and lonely *

* things are not the same *

* I have loved you *

* but affection's bound to change *

* don't cry sweet and lonely *

* things are not the same *

* I have loved you *

* but affection's bound to change *

Thank you.

* boats sail slowly by the dock and out to sea *

* never stop to think of what's untrue *

* you and I played little games *

* that never seemed to end *

* never seemed to know what we've been through *

* goodbye sweet and lonely *

* things are not the same *
