TIE SOME COTTON TWINEAROUND A BRICK.

PUT THE BRICK IN THE WATER...

TAKE THE END OF THE TWINE...

AND PUT IT INTO THE SOILOF THE PLANTS.

THE WATER LIKE A STRAW,

AND PROVIDES A STEADY
SUPPLYOF WATER TO THE... -

CUT, CUT.

CUT!

SPEAKING OF SUCKING--

IS THIS SEGMENT, LIKE, TOTALLY TANKING?

NO, NOT AT ALL.

I AGREE.

I THINKTHE POINTER'S FASCINATING.

YEAH, I GET IT.

THE POINTER'S FINE, BUT I'M TANKING?

THAT'S NOTWHAT I'M SAYING.

NO, NO.THERE'S NO TANKAGE.

NONE AT ALL. ZERO.

IT'S WHAT YOU'RE THINKING...

AND, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE RIGHT.

YOU KNOW, I'VE JUST BEENOFF
MY GAME FOR A WHILE.

I'M JUST FEELING A BIT...

I DON'T KNOW... A BIT..

DISTRACTED?

DISCONNECTED?

EXHAUSTED?

IT'S THAT OBVIOUS?

YOU WORK TOO HARD.

YOUR MOTHER WAS THE SAME WAY

WHEN SHE WROTETHEPRUPOINTERSCOLUMN.

SHE LIVED TO WORK.

MY MOTHER WORKEDTO AVOID LIVING.

IF THE SHOE FITS, SWEETIE.

I AM NOT MY MOTHER, JEFFREY!

BUT I COULDN'T, OF COURSE.

HAD NO APPETITE--WELL,
I NEVER DO WHEN I FLY--

AND I'D SEEN THE MOVIETHE NIGHT BEFORE.

AND COMING DOWN TO LAND,
THE PLANE WAS SHAKING SO BADLY

I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING
TOCOME APART AT THE SEAMS.

THAT'S WHY I LOATHE VACATIONS.

THEY'RE NERVE-WRACKING.

BAGS? ALREADY?

IN NEW YORK, I HAVE TOWAIT A WEEK FOR THESE.

WERE THERE OTHERPASSENGERS ON THE PLANE?

NO, NO, I WAS ALONE.

I KNOW THIS IS A RIDICULOUSAMOUNT OF LUGGAGE,

BUT I'M A TERRIBLE TRAVELER.

I ALWAYS HAVE TO PACK EVERYTHING

SO I CAN DECIDEWHAT NOT TO WEAR.

HOLD UP!

THESE SQUEAKY WHEELSARE DRIVING ME NUTS.

WHAT IS THAT?

OLIVE OIL.

EXTRA VIRGIN.

GOOD FOR RUSTY METALAND STICKY LOCKS.

ADVANTAGEOF IT WHILE YOU'RE HERE,

ESPECIALLY THE SUNRISEAND SUNSET.

I KNOW A BEAUTIFULPLACE TO DO THAT.

COULD YOU TAKE ME OUT THERESOMETIME?

WELL, I'M MEETING SOME PEOPLEOUT THERE LATER,

I COULD REARRANGE IT,
AND WE COULD STOP ON THE WAY.

THAT SOUNDS LIKETHE
PERFECT ANTIDOTE TO JETLAG.

A SACRED GROUND TO MY

IT'S BEAUTIFUL LAND.

WE COME HERE FORCEREMONIES, FASTING.

WHAT'S THE FABRICON THE TREES?

TASSAJARO FOR 140 YEARS.

WELL, ISN'T THISYOUR PEOPLE'S LAND?

WELL, YEAH, THAT'STHE WAY WE LOOK AT IT,

BUT THE GOVERNMENT DECIDEDTHAT THEY OWNED IT,

AND THEY SOLD MOST OF IT OFF

TO FARMERSAND RANCHERS.

WHEN THE ANDREWS FAMILYBOUGHT TASSAJARO,

THEY PROMISEDIT WOULD NOT BE DISTURBED.

WELL, IT LOOKS LIKETHEY KEPT THEIR PROMISE.

YES, THEY DID, ESPECIALLY BART.

WELL, YOU COULD DRIVE OUTTO HIS CABIN,

MAKE SURE HE'S ALL RIGHT.

NO, I CAN'T LEAVE THE LODGE

AND MY GUESTS.

YES, YOU CAN.

I MEAN, THIS IS ABOUT FAMILY.

BESIDES, YOUR GUESTS WOULDLIKE
TO SEE SOME OF WYOMING.

AND DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE
LODGE, WE'LL JUST LOCK THE DOOR.

WHEN HE WAS YOUNGER,

I THOUGHT I KNEWWHAT WAS BEST FOR HIM.

WE ARGUED ABOUT EVERYTHING.

COULD YOU COME INFOR A MOMENT?

JUST TO HELP ME BREAK THE ICE?

OF COURSE.

JR?

JR, IT'S MOM.

JR!

CHAIN'S ON THE DOOR.

HE'S GOT A MONTHOF DIRTY CLOTHES UP THERE.

DO YOU MIND?

SO, THERE I WAS,

WITH THIS HUMONGOUS GLOBOF
BUBBLEGUM STUCK IN MY HAIR,

AND I WAS CONVINCED

I WAS GOING TO HAVE TOGET MY HEAD SHAVED,

BUT MY MOTHERASKED MR. FORSYTHE,

THE MAN WHO RAN HER LAB,

TO SEE IF HE COULD FIND
A WAYTO GET THE GUM OUT,

AND HE DISCOVEREDPEANUT BUTTER DID THE TRICK.

SMOOTH, NOT CHUNKY, MERCIFULLY.

YOU KNOW, JEFF SYMCOX WAS RIGHT.

ABOUT WHAT?

ABOUT EVERYTHING.

HE SAID YOU WERE CHARMING,
YOU'D MAKE ME LAUGH.

WHEN DID YOU TALK TO JEFFREY?

AS SOONAS I GOT BACK TO THE OFFICE.

I HADN'T TALKED TO HIMFOR YEARS,

BUT HE WAS KIND ENOUGHTO TAKE MY CALL.

THAT MUST'VE BEENAFTER I CALLED HIM

AND PICKED HIS BRAINABOUT YOU.

AND YOU DECIDED TO HAVEDRINKS WITH ME ANYWAY?

I LIKE TO LIVEON THE WILD SIDE.

WYOMING'S A GREAT PLACETO DO THAT.

THIS IS INCREDIBLE!

I'VE SEEN YOU TWICEIN ONE DAY.

I HAVE BECOMEA VERY LUCKY MAN...

BUT, NOT AS LUCKY AS YOU, MON AMI.

NOT EVEN CLOSE.

MY FIANCEE LOVES YOUR PROGRAM, MADEMOISELLE.

SHE THREATENED TO CALL OFFTHE WEDDING

IF I DIDN'T SOMEHOWGET YOUR AUTOGRAPH.

I KNOW IT'STRES GAUCHE, BUT COULD YOU?

OF COURSE.

YOU'VE MADE ME A HERO, AT LEAST FOR TONIGHT.

MERCI BEAUCOUP.

WHEN EXACTLY DID MENSTOP
KISSING WOMEN'S HANDS?

AND WHY?

AND IT'S SO PERFECTLYCIVILIZED.

JEAN PHILLIPEIS FROM FRANCE.

HE LIKES TO BETRESCOSMOPOLITAN...

ESPECIALLYWITH BEAUTIFUL WOMEN.

BART'S SON WAS BORN IN FRANCE?

YES. SEE, JEAN PHILLIPE'SMOTHER, GENEVIEVE,

WAS BART'S FRENCH MISTRESS.

AND WHEN HE BROKE OFFTHE AFFAIR--

RATHER BADLY, I'M AFRAID--

SHE DIDN'T TELL HIMSHE WAS PREGNANT.

AND EVEN WHEN BARTFOUND OUT HE HAD A SON,

SHE WOULDN'T LET HIM SEE HIM.

THAT MUST'VE BEENVERY HARD FOR HIM.

YEAH. JEAN PHILLIPEIS HIS ONLY CHILD.

IT BROKE HIS HEART.

BUT, SIX MONTHS BEFORE
BART DIEDOF LUNG CANCER,

GENEVIEVE DIEDIN A CAR ACCIDENT,

SO HE SENT ME OVER TO
FRANCETO BRING HIS BOY HOME,

AND THAT... THAT MEANT EVERYTHING TO BART,

TO HAVE HIS SON BESIDE HIMWHEN HE DIED.

SPEAKING OF SONS...

YOU KNOW RUTH'S SON, DON'T YOU?

JR? YEAH, I'VE HIM KNOWN HIM FOR YEARS.

NICE KID?

YEAH... JR'S GOT A GOOD HEART.

HE'S, HE'S MADESOME STUPID CHOICES.

I'VE HAD TO BAIL HIM OUTOF
HOT WATER MORE THAN ONCE,

BUT WE KEPT HIS RECORD CLEAN.

WHY DO YOU ASK?

HE'S JUST DROPPED OUT OF SIGHT.

HE'S NOT RETURNINGHIS MOTHER'S CALLS.

NO IDEA WHERE HE IS?

NONE.

IS THERE ANYTHING YOU KNOW
THATSHE SHOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT?

I HAVEN'T SPOKEN TO JRIN MONTHS.

I WAS HOPINGHE'D CLEAN UP HIS ACT.

THAT HOT WATER YOU MENTIONED...

HOW HOT WAS IT?

VERY.

GOOD, THIS IS THE POLICE STATION.

MA'AM?

IN NEW YORK,

MOST POLICE STATIONSLOOK LIKE BOMB SHELTERS.

THIS BUILDINGLOOKED SO QUAINT,

I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BEANOTHER
BOUTIQUE OR SOMETHING.

HOW CAN I HELP YOU, MA'AM?

SORRY. RIGHT.

I KNOW IT'S LATE...

BUT I'M WORRIED ABOUT THE
SONOF A FRIEND OF MINE.

WELL, ACTUALLY, WE JUST MET TODAY,

BUT I FEEL WE CONNECTED,
ON A WOMAN-TO-WOMAN LEVEL,

IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

PROBABLY NOT, WHICH IS PROBABLY A GOOD THING.

BUT WHAT'S IMPORTANT

IS THAT SHE CAN'TLOCATE THE BOY.

WELL, IF IT'S HER SON,

WHY ISN'T SHE HEREINSTEAD OF YOU?

SHE DOESN'T KNOWI CAME.

BUT A RELATIVE OR SPOUSE

HAS TO FILEA MISSING PERSON REPORT.

WELL, HERE'S THE RUB--

WE DON'T KNOWIF HE REALLY IS MISSING.

THEN WHY ARE YOU HERE?

BECAUSE HE MIGHT BE MISSING.

MA'AM, I CAN'T FILE

A MIGHT-BE-MISSING PERSONREPORT.

ISN'T THERE SOMEONE ELSE HERETHAT
I CAN TALK TO ABOUT THIS?

THE ONLY OFFICER ON DUTY IS--

...SAYINGSAYONARA.

IT'S YOU! NO, YOU CAN'T LEAVE.

WATCH ME.

I-- I NEED TO TALK TO YOU.

IT'S ABOUTRUTH'S SON JR.

I DON'T KNOW,
BUT I THINKHE MIGHT HAVE BEEN MURDERED.

MURDERED?

MURDERED?

MURDERED.

AT FIRST,

I THOUGHT IT WASA WINE STAIN ON THE RUG,

SO I PULLED OUTA CAN OF SHAVING CREAM.

SHAVING CREAM?

IT'S GREAT FOR GETTINGSTAINS OUT. MAGIC.

SORT OF LIKE, UM,

OATMEALFOR RAZOR BURN.

ANYWAY, WHEN I WASDOWN THERE

ON THE FLOOR,

I NOTICED THIS... ON THE TABLE LEG.

AND THIS IS?

BLOOD.

ALLEGED BLOOD.

IT'S BLOOD.

WHICH TELLS ME THAT THE STAINON
THE RUG WAS BLOOD AS WELL.

I'LL PROBABLY REGRET THIS,
BUT, OKAY, I'LL BITE--

WHOSE BLOODDO YOU THINK THIS IS?

JR'S. HE'S THE ONLY ONEWHO LIVES THERE, SO...

MAYBE HE CUT HIMSELF SHAVING.

NO. SOMEBODY BASHED HIMON THE HEAD

WITH A CANDLESTICK.

A CANDLESTICK?

I SAW IT AT THE HOUSE.

IT WAS WOODEN, HEAVY, SHARP EDGES,

I MEAN, IT COULD DOAS MUCH DAMAGE AS...

HMPH, AS FALLING OFFA MOTORCYCLE.

YOU DON'T REALLY RIDE THOSE, DO YOU?

I REALLY DO.

YOU DON'T HAVE CHILDREN, I HOPE?

LOOK, CAN WE STAY FOCUSED HERE?

WHO WOULD THIS SOMEONE BE?

THE SAME PERSON...

THAT RUBBED SHOE POLISHON THE CANDLESTICK.

WHEN THE CANDLESTICKHIT JR'S HEAD,

THE IMPACT MADE GOUGESON THE CANDLESTICK.

SOMEONE USED SHOE POLISHTO
CONCEAL THE GOUGES.

WHY NOT JUST TAKETHE CANDLESTICK?

BECAUSE IF SOMEONE NOTICEDIT WAS MISSING,

THEY MIGHT START ASKING WHY.

BETTER TO LEAVE ITIN PLAIN SIGHT,

SO IT LOOKS LIKENOTHING EVER HAPPENED...

AND THAT'S WHY THE KITCHENWAS NEAT AS A PIN.

THE KITCHEN WAS NEAT?

AND THIS IS IMPORTANT?

THE MURDERERDIDN'T WANT IT TO LOOK LIKE

SOMEONE HAD BEEN KILLED THERE.

SO... THE ALLEGED MURDERERCLEARED THE TABLE

AND WASHED THE DISHES

AFTER HE ALLEGEDLY KILLEDTHE
KID WITH A CANDLESTICK?

YOU'RE CATCHING ON.

EXCEPT FOR THE "ALLEGED"
PART, BUT WE'LL WORK ON THAT.

WHY KILL JRIN THE FIRST PLACE?

HE'D HAD A LITTLE TROUBLEWHEN HE WAS YOUNGER.

HOT WATER.

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THAT?

I HAVE A SOURCE.

A SOURCE?

YOU'VE BEEN HERE 12 HOURS,
AND YOU HAVE A SOURCE?

FINE, DON'T BELIEVE ME.

LET'S SEEWHAT JR'S GOT

ON HIS RAP SHEET.

AT 10...

HE GOT BUSTED FOR BREAKINGCHRISTMAS
LIGHTS AT THE YMCA.

14... HE PINCHED A KID'S
BIKEAND TOOK IT FOR A JOYRIDE.

16...

HE LIT A BAG OF DOG CRAP ON FIREON
THE PRINCIPAL'S FRONT PORCH.

WOW.

PUBLIC ENEMY NUMBER ONE.

MAYBE HE HAD A GOOD LAWYER...

...WHO KEPT THE HOT WATEROFF HIS RECORD.

JR LIVES OUTSIDECITY LIMITS.

THE COUNTY SHERIFF
HANDLESEVERYTHING OUT THERE.

WELL, THEN,
WHY DON'T YOU CALLTHE COUNTY SHERIFF?

AND WHAT AM IGOING TO SAY?

"YO, I GOT THIS KID, HE DOESN'T CALL HOME.

I'M THINKING HE GOT WHACKEDBY A CANDLESTICK."

"YOU GOT A BODY, EVIDENCE,
LEADS, MOTIVE, ANYTHING?"

"WELL, I'M A LITTLE LIGHTON DETAILS,

"BUT I DO KNOWTHAT THE MURDERER

WAS A HECK OF A HOUSE-CLEANER."

DYING TO MAKE THAT CALL.

FINE. I'LL MAKE IT.I'M NOT SHY.

REALLY?

I HADN'T NOTICED.

LEAVE THE RED STUFF.

YOU MEAN THE BLOOD.

WHATEVER. I'LL HAVE THE LABCHECK IT OUT.

IF IT IS JR'S BLOOD,
MAYBE I'LL HAVE SOMETHING

TO TALK TO THE SHERIFF'S OFFICEABOUT.

SOMEONE SHOULD BE ARRESTEDFOR
MAKING COFFEE THIS BAD.

WE HAD TO FIRE OUR BARISTA.

BUDGET CUTS.

JUST ADD SOME SALTAND SOME NUTMEG

BEFORE YOU BREW THE COFFEE.

IT'LL TAKEALL THE BITTERNESS OUT.

WE LIKE BITTER.

IT'S JUST AMAZINGWHAT IT CAN DO.

DID YOU KNOW THAT IT'SA GREAT FACIAL CLEANER?

YOU JUST-- YOU JUST--

RUB IT ON YOUR FACE, AND SQUEAKY-CLEAN PORES.

BINGO!

RUTH...

I'M, I'M CURIOUS--

WHEN MY MOTHER CAMETO STAY HERE,

DID YOU EVER HAVE A CHANCETO TALK TO HER?

A LITTLE, WHEN SHE WASN'T TOO BUSY.

OF COURSE, HER WORK.

NO.

SHE HARDLY WORKEDWHEN SHE WAS HERE.

REALLY? WHAT DID SHE DO?

I THINKSHE ENJOYED HERSELF.

ENJOYED HERSELF?

ALL I EVER REMEMBERIS HER WORKING.

I MEAN, I KNEWWHAT SHE WAS--

A COLUMNIST, YOU KNOW, A SORT OF A CELEBRITY,

BUT I NEVER REALLY KNEWWHOSHE WAS.

I MEAN, NOT AS A WOMAN, REALLY.

WELL, I DIDN'TKNOW HER THAT WELL,

BUT I DO REMEMBER THIS--

WHEN SHE WAS HAPPY...

EVERYBODY AROUND HERWAS HAPPY, TOO.

WHAT MADE HER HAPPY?

JUST A MOMENT...

THIS BELONGEDTO YOUR MOTHER.

SHE WANTED IT KEPT HERE, AT THE LODGE,

EVEN AFTER SHE WAS GONE.

WHY?

I'M NOT SURE, MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE THE LODGE

HELD SO MANY FOND MEMORIESFOR HER.

THERE ARE DOZENS OF LETTERSIN THIS BOX, RUTH.

WRITTEN BY SOMEONE WHO
HAD TOHAVE BEEN HER LOVER.

I MEAN, THEY'RE SO...
BEAUTIFUL AND ROMANTIC...

MY MOTHER HAD A LOVER.

MY GOD!

I MEAN, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEAWHO WROTE THESE?

NO.

SHE DIDN'T TALK TO MEABOUT SUCH THINGS.

EXCUSE ME.

RUTH?

JR...

I'M DETECTIVE JILLSON,

COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT.

SOME HIKERS FOUNDMRS. VIGIL'S SON

OUT AT DIABLO CANYON.

HE'D...

FALLEN FROM A HIKING TRAILNEAR THE SUMMIT.

HE'S DEAD, PRUDENCE.

JR'S DEAD.

THE HIKERS FOUND

THIS SUICIDE NOTEON THE MOUNTAIN.

MY GOD.

DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.

JR HAD HIS UPS AND DOWNS,
JUST LIKE ANYBODY ELSE,

BUT HE LOVED HIS LIFE.

HE WOULDN'T HAVE WASTED IT.

ESPECIALLY NOT LIKE THIS.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

JR WAS TERRIFIED OF HEIGHTS.

HE HATED TO FLY,

WOULDN'T EVEN RIDEIN AN ELEVATOR.

WHY WOULD HE CLIMBA MOUNTAIN TO...?

I HAVE NO CLUE.

WELL, AREN'T YOUSUSPICIOUS?

I MEAN, THIS DOESN'TMAKE SENSE.

MOST OF LIFEDOESN'T MAKE SENSE--

STARTINGWITH THE BIG BANG.

JR DIDN'T JUMP.

A LOT OF PEOPLETHINK HE DID.

IS THE CORONERGOING TO DO AN AUTOPSY?

CORONERS DON'T USUALLYDO
AUTOPSIES IN SUICIDES,

ESPECIALLY WHERETHE CAUSE
OF DEATH IS OBVIOUS.

WHERE IS DIABLO CANYON?

WEST OF TOWN. WHY?

WE SHOULD STARTOUR INVESTIGATION THERE.

WHAT INVESTIGATION?

TO FIND OUTWHO MURDERED RUTH'S SON.

WE WENT OVER THISALREADY.

WE DID?

WE DID, BUT READ MY LIPS AGAIN--

THIS IS OUT OF MY JURISDICTION.

GUESS WHAT?

I DON'T HAVE A JURISDICTION.I'LL
GO THERE MYSELF.

NO, YOU WON'T.

YOU HEAD OUT THEREBY YOURSELF,

YOU'LL GET LOST, YOU'LL DIE,

AND YOUR BONES'LL BEPICKED CLEAN BY VULTURES.

SOUNDS LIKEAN AFTER-CHRISTMAS SALE

IN NEW YORK.

EVEN WORSE, I'LL HAVE TOWRITE
THE WHOLE SORDID MESS UP.

WHY?

THE SORDID MESSWON'T BE IN YOUR JURISDICTION.

I'LL GET THE SHERIFF'S REPORTOFF THE INTERNET

AND DRIVE YOU OUT THERE.

NOT ON THAT, I HOPE?

YOU EVER BEEN ON A BIKE?

NEVER.

I'M JUST NOT THAT KEENTO BE AN ORGAN DONOR.

THEN YOU HAVEN'T LIVED.

SO IF I RODE A MOTORCYCLE, I'D BE LIVING?

WELL, IT'D BE A START.

I'LL GET THE CAR.

YOU'LL NEEDSOME DECENT HIKING SHOES.

THESE ARE FINE.I'M A NEW YORKER.

WE WALK ANYWHERE.

BESIDES, WE NEED TO BEAT
THE AIRPORT IN 20 MINUTES.

WHY?

COME ON.

THERE HE IS.

HELLO, NIGEL!

THIS IS, LIKE, A GAG, RIGHT?

NO GAG. THAT'S NIGEL.

WHY'S HE RUBBING HIS HEADWITH A LEMON?

IT CURES HEADACHES.

I'M AFRAID HE HASA WICKED HANGOVER.

THIS GUY

ACTUALLYWORKS FOR YOU?

HE RUNS MY LAB.

HE'LL BE A LOT OF HELPIN THE INVESTIGATION.

HE'S VERY TALENTED.

AT WHAT?

I FEEL LIKE A...

A BLOODYMOUNTAIN GOAT.

WHY COULDN'T WEDRIVE UP HERE?

YOU NEEDFOUR-WHEEL DRIVE.

AND I THOUGHT NEW YORKERSLIKED TO WALK.

THIS ISN'T A WALK.THIS IS A DEATH MARCH.

WE'RE ALMOST THERE.

GOD. YOU'RE ENJOYING THIS, AREN'T YOU?

THIS IS WHERE THE HIKERS
FOUNDJR'S SUICIDE NOTE.

OKAY.

HE...

HE CAME DOWN THE HILLSIDERIGHT THERE...

CROSSED TO THE EDGE,

AND JUMPEDFROM HERE.

THE YELLOW POLICE TAPE

AT THE BOTTOMOF THE CLIFF

IS WHERE THE HIKERSFOUND THE BODY.

HE WAS TERRIFIED OF HEIGHTS.

HE WOULD NEVER HAVE TRIEDTO COMMIT SUICIDE

BY JUMPING OFF A MOUNTAIN.

HE LEFT THE SUICIDENOTE HERE,

THEY FOUND THE BODY

DOWN THERE.

CONNECT THE DOTS.

HAVE YOU SEENTHE NOTE?

NO.

WELL, I DID. IT WAS TYPED.

I MEAN, WHO TYPESA SUICIDE NOTE?

METHODICAL, ORGANIZED PEOPLE.

IF THAT'S WHERETHEY FOUND THE BODY,

HE DIDN'T JUMPFROM HERE.

THEN HOW'DHE GET THERE? FLY?

HE WAS PUSHED, OR, IF HE WAS UNCONSCIOUS

OR, YOU KNOW, WORSE,

HE WAS DROPPEDOVER THE EDGE.

WHAT ARE YOUTALKING ABOUT?

IF HE'D JUMPEDOUT FROM THE CLIFF,

THEN HE WOULD HAVE MISSED

THAT ROCK OUTCROPPINGCOMPLETELY,

AND WOULD'VE LANDED RIGHT
THERE, BY THAT TREE.

BUT IF HE'D BEEN PUSHED, OR-OR DUMPED,

THEN HE WOULD HAVE HITTHE OUTCROPPING,

WHICH WOULD HAVE ALTEREDTHE
TRAJECTORY OF HIS FALL,

AND HE WOULD HAVE LANDED...
RIGHT WHERE THEY FOUND THE BODY.

NIGEL, YOU'RE BRILLIANT.

DIDN'T I TELL YOUHE WAS BRILLIANT?

TOO MANY TIMES.

LOOK, IF THE KIDWAS AFRAID OF HEIGHTS,

I'M GUESSINGHE DIDN'T JUST...

COME TAKE A SWAN-DIVEFROM THE CLIFF.

HE PROBABLY INCHED OUTTO THE EDGE,

TOOK A DEEP BREATH,

LOOKED OUT, SAID A HAIL MARY,

AND DROPPED...

HIT THE ROCK OUTCROPPINGON THE WAY DOWN,

AND LANDED RIGHTWHERE HE WAS FOUND.

NOT BAD, BUT WRONG.

WRONG?

I'VE BEENA DETECTIVE FOR...

I DON'T KNOW, 25 YEARS?

YOU'VE BEEN A DETECTIVEFOR, LET'S SEE--

FOR NEVER?

PRUDENCE!

LOOK AT THIS.

WHAT DID YOU FIND?

BOOTPRINTS.

SOMEONE CAME DOWNTHIS HILL

AND THEN WALKEDBACK UP AGAIN.

IT LOOKS LIKE THEY WEREWEARING COWBOY BOOTS.

NIGEL FOUND COWBOY-BOOT PRINTS.

COWBOY BOOTS, IN WYOMING?

WOW, THE KID'S HOT.

THE PRINTSCOMING DOWN THE HILL

ARE, ON AVERAGE, 57% DEEPER AND 33% WIDER

THAN THE BOOT PRINTSGOING BACK UP THE HILL.

SO SOMEONE WAS HEAVIERCOMING DOWN THE HILL

THAN GOING BACK UP.SO WHAT?

APART FROMAN INCREDIBLE CRASH DIET,

HOW ELSE WOULD YOU EXPLAINTHE
SUDDEN WEIGHT LOSS?

THIS IS A CAMPING AREA.

SOMEONE CAME DOWN
CARRYINGSOMETHING HEAVY, LIKE,

A BACKPACK FULL OF FOOD,

WATER, FISHING GEAR--

OR A BODY,

THAT THEY PUSHED OR DUMPEDOFF THE CLIFF

AND THEN THEY WALKEDRIGHT BACK UP THE HILL.

LIMPED.

THE BOOTPRINTS INDICATE A
LIMPFAVORING THE RIGHT LEG.

THOSE PRINTS DISAPPEAR

WAY BEFORE YOU GETTO THE CLIFF.

BECAUSE THAT'S ROCKTHERE, NOT MUD.

FINE, BUT WHOEVERCAME DOWN THE HILL

COULD'VE GONE ANYWHEREFROM THERE.

NOT WITH A BODY.

DEAD WEIGHTIS VERY DIFFICULT TO CARRY.

WHATEVER.

WE'RE DONE HERE.

GO ON UPTO THE TOP OF THE HILL.

I'LL GET THE CARAND MEET YOU.

THE CAR?

I THOUGHT YOU TOLD MEYOU
COULDN'T DRIVE UP HERE?

I SAID WE NEEDEDFOUR-WHEEL DRIVE.

I HAVE FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE.

OOP.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!

HE MADE US WALKALL THE WAY UP HERE

JUST BECAUSE I WOULDN'T FOLLOWHIS
ADVICE AND CHANGE MY SHOES.

I MEAN, IT'S JUSTSO BLOODY
CHILDISH, ISN'T IT?

YOUR FEETMUST BE KILLING YOU.

WHY DIDN'T YOU-- WHY DIDN'T
YOUJUST CHANGE YOUR SHOES?

BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO, DID I?

WOW.

NOW, THATIS TOTALLY CHILDISH.

MIND YOUR OWN BEESWAX, NIGEL.

THE LAB RESULTS

ON YOUR BLOOD SAMPLECAME BACK.

AND?

YOU WERE RIGHT. IT'S BLOOD.

YES, I KNEW IT! I COULD FEEL IT.

I HAD THIS SIXTH SENSE.YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

GREAT DETECTIVES, THE REALLY GOOD ONES,

I MEAN, THEY MUST HAVE THATSORT
OF FEELING ALL THE TIME--

IT WASN'TJR'S BLOOD TYPE.

HE WAS AB-NEGATIVE.

THE BLOOD IN HIS HOUSEIS O-POSITIVE.

THE MURDERER'S.

JR RESISTED, HE GOT CUT--

ASSUMINGTHERE IS A MURDERER...

WHICH MEANS 35%OF THE ENTIRE POPULATION

ARE NOW SUSPECTS.

THIS PIG DOESN'T HAVE WINGS.

PARDON?

IT DOESN'T FLY. TSK.

I'M SORRY.

I KNOWHOW THIS SOUNDS,

BUT I DON'T THINKJR COMMITTED SUICIDE.

WHAT ARE YOUTALKING ABOUT?

I THINKSOMEBODY KILLED HIM

AND TRIED TO MAKE ITLOOK LIKE SUICIDE.

WHO'D DO THAT? WHY?

I DON'T KNOW.

HAVE YOU TOLD THE POLICE?

A DETECTIVE HERE IN TOWN,

BUT HE DOESN'TTAKE ME SERIOUSLY.

DO YOU HAVE ANY PROOF, ANY EVIDENCE?

SOME, BUT NOT ENOUGHTO CONVINCE THE POLICE.

NOT YET.

YOU HAVEN'T TOLD ANYOF THIS TO
RUTH, HAVE YOU?

NO, NO, I DIDN'TWANT TO UPSET HER.

LISTEN, I HAVESOME CONTACTS

AT THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE.

I'LL MAKE A FEW CALLS, DISCREETLY,

AND SEEWHAT I CAN FIND.

THAT'S FANTASTIC.

AND IF YOU FIND ANYTHING, RUN IT PAST ME,

AND I'LL MAKE SURE

THOSE POLICE DON'TBRUSH YOU OFF, OKAY?

ABSOLUTELY.

ALL RIGHT.

YOU MUST BE VERY KIND TO
BECONCERNED ABOUT RUTH AND JR.

SO ARE YOU. THANK YOU.

AND A MURDER WEAPON.

JR VIGIL WASN'T MURDERED.

THERE'S A GROWING BODY
OFEVIDENCE THAT SAYS THAT HE WAS.

A BODY OF EVIDENCE?

WELL, MAYBE NOT A "BODY", BUT...

BUT THERE AREA LOT OF PEOPLE

WHO BELIEVETHAT HE WAS MURDERED.

WE REALLY NEED

YOUR HELP ON THIS ONE.YOU GOT ANY IDEAS?

PUT HALF A CUPOF PLAIN YOGURT

IN RUFUS' DOG FOODTWICE A DAY.

IT'LL DEFLATE HIM.

YOGURT?

IF THAT WORKS,

YOU MIGHT'VE JUSTSAVED MY MARRIAGE.

THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO HAVE

EDDIE WAS HERE.

HE TALKED TO JILLSONABOUT YOUR VISIT.

HE'S NOT A HAPPY CAMPER.

NO? GEE, I'M SOSORRY ABOUT THAT.

HE SAIDHE WANTS YOU TO CHILL.

CHILL? WHAT AM I, A BOTTLE OF CHARDONNAY?

HE HASA BLOODY NERVE.

PLEASE, PLEASE, JUST DON'T START.

I THINKI FOUND THE ROOM.

UM, THE LETTERINGLOOKED COMMERCIAL,

SO I SEARCHED LOCALBUSINESS NAMES,

ALL WITH THE LETTERST, E, AND T IN THEM,

IN THAT ORDER.

AND IT TURNED UP, LIKE, DOZENS OF THEM--

ALL WITH THE WORD "TETON" IN THEM.

WHY TETON?

BECAUSE OFTHE GRAND TETONS.

THE MOUNTAINS WERE NAMEDBY
THE FRENCH EXPLORERS

WHO CALLED THE THREEHIGHEST
PEAKS OF THE RANGE

LES TROIS TETONS-- "THE THREE BREASTS"

OR... OR "NIPPLES,"

YOU KNOW, DEPENDINGON THE TRANSLATION...

SO, I FIGURED THAT,

IF JR KEPT SOME SORT OF,
YOU KNOW, SECRET HIDEAWAY,

THAT HE WOULDN'T CHOOSE

AN AUTO MECHANICOR DRYCLEANERS--

A MOTEL!

WELL, NO, NO, ACTUALLY,

I THINK HEWOULD

CHOOSE A MOTEL.

THAT'S WHAT I MEAN.

DO YOU HAVE A NAME, ADDRESS?

NATURALLY.THERE'S ONLY ONE MOTEL

WITH A NAME THAT MATCHESTHE
LETTERS IN THAT PHOTO.

THE TETON CHALET MOTEL.

WELL, IT'S DEFINITELYTHE SAME SIGN.

OKAY, NOW WE JUST FIND

THE WINDOW THAT LOOKSOUT ON THE SIGN

AT THE SAME ANGLE...

THERE'S ONLY THREE.PIECE OF CAKE.

NO.

I THINK THAT WORKED.

WE CAN'T LOOK SUSPICIOUS.

WHAT?

YOU DON'T THINKTHAT THAT-- THAT--

IT'S CALLED A KISS.

...MOMENT JUST MADE
USLOOK TOTALLY SUSPICIOUS?

I MEAN, WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE

JUST KISS EACH OTHERLIKE THAT

IN THE MIDDLEOF THE DAY?

PEOPLE WHO COMETO PLACES LIKE THIS.

OKAY.

THIS IS THE SAME WINDOWAS IN THE PICTURE.

YOU'RE SURE?

YEAH. ABSOLUTELY. YEAH.

IT'S BASICEUCLIDEAN GEOMETRY.

THE COSINE OF THE ANGLE

FORMED BY THE SIGNAND THE WINDOW FRAME,

IN CONJUNCTION WITHTHE SLOPE OF SHADOWS

CAST BY THE SETTINGSUN AND...

YOU'RE MAKINGALL THIS UP, RIGHT?

PRETTY MUCH.

SO HOW ARE YOU SURETHIS IS THE SAME WINDOW?

YOU CAN SEE THE MAPON THE WALL.

LIQUID DISHWASHING DETERGENT.

NIGEL!

DISHWASHING DETERGENT!

YEAH.

HAIR PINS.

PENCIL.

STRAW.

NOW, COVER ME.

BINGO!

NIGEL?

CHECK OUT THE LAPTOP.

THERE'S THE SIGN...

AND THE MAP TO TASSAJARO.

THIS IS JR'S COMPUTER.

THE CASE HAS HIS NAMEAND ADDRESS ON IT.

WHY WOULD JR HAVE A MAPOF TASSAJARO?

AND I WONDER WHAT THOSE
"X" esON THE MAP MEAN.

JR FLEW TO PARIS LAST MONTH.

WELL, THAT EXPLAINSTHE FRENCH DOCUMENT.

TAKE THE COMPUTER, I'LL CHECK UPSTAIRS.

NO HOUSEKEEPING, THANKS!

PRUDENCE!

GO OUT THE BACK.

THERE'S NO WAY OUT!

GET THE TABLE LAMP!

HA!

HIT HIM!

STAY DOWN, YOU PLONKER!

WHY CAN'T I EVER REMEMBERTHAT BLOODY MANTRA

WHEN I NEED IT?

JUST FORGETYOUR MANTRA!

JUST CALL THE POLICE,
REPORT AN ATTEMPTED MURDER!

ARE YOU DAFT, NIGEL?
WE CAN'T CALL THE POLICE.

WHAT? WHY NOT?

BECAUSE I'M NOT INTERESTEDIN BEING ARRESTED

FOR THE SEVERAL SERIOUS
CRIMESWE JUST COMMITTED.

SERIOUS CRIMES? WHAT DO YOU--

BREAKING AND ENTERING,

LARCENY, ASSAULT AND BATTERY.

GOD!

ALTHOUGH I'D CERTAINLY ARGUE

BASHING THAT WANKERWAS IN SELF-DEFENSE.

OF COURSEIT WAS SELF-DEFENSE!

HE WAS TRYING TO KILL US!

AND WHAT MAKES YOU THINKHE
WON'T TRY IT AGAIN?

I DON'T. HE COULD.

HELLO?

JEFFREY!

...WHAT ARE WE DOING?

WELL, I MEAN, A LOT OF THINGS,

RELAXING, READING, MEETING PEOPLE,

HAVING ADVENTURES.

FOR EXAMPLE,

SOMEONE JUST TRIED TO KILLNIGEL AND ME.

THERE WERE BULLETS FLYING,
GLASS SHATTERING...

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
WHO TRIED TO KILL YOU?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING THERE?
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO VACATION...

YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO REST AND RELAX...

GOT TO RUN,
WE'RE BEINGPULLED OVER BY THE POLICE.

I'LL CALL YOUIF I NEED A SOLICITOR.

JUST SHOVE EVERYTHINGUNDER THE SEAT,

AND DON'TOPEN YOUR MOUTH!

MA'AM.

HELLO, DETECTIVE.

SO HOW ARE THINGS AT HOME?

WELL, CORKY HAS LOADED UPON YOGURT,

SO WE'LL KEEPOUR FINGERS CROSSED.

BUT...

THINGS AREN'T NEARLYAS PROMISING

OUT ATTHE TETON CHALET MOTEL.

SOMEONE SHOT UP ONE OF THE UNITSREAL BAD.

YOU WOULDN'T KNOW ANYTHINGABOUT
THAT, WOULD YOU?

GOODNESS, NO!

NO, NO, I'M TERRIFIED OF GUNS.

MAID SAW A CARLEAVING THE SCENE.

SHE DIDN'T GETA LICENSE PLATE,

BUT YOUR CAR MATCHESHER DESCRIPTION.

THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE, DETECTIVE.

WE'VE BEEN OUT ADMIRINGYOUR
GORGEOUS MOUNTAINS,

HAVEN'T WE, NIGEL?

BLOODY MASSIVE, YOUR TETONS.

I GOT THE FORENSICS BACKON YOUR CANDLESTICK.

AND?

THE GOUGES MATCHTHE HEAD
TRAUMA ON THE VICTIM,

AND THE WOOD SPLINTERSTHAT
WE FOUND IN THE HEAD WOUNDS

MATCH YOUR CANDLESTICK.

SO HE WAS MURDERED?

IT'S A LITTLE EARLYTO SAY FOR SURE,

BUT IT LOOKS THAT WAY.

NOW, IF YOU HAVEANY INFORMATION--

ACTUALLY--

WE DON'T HAVE A THING...

BUT, IF THE CANDLESTICK HELPED,

WE'RE DELIGHTED TO HAVEMADE A CONTRIBUTION

TOWARDS THE PRESERVATIONOF
LAW AND ORDER IN WYOMING.

AREN'T WE, NIGEL?

YEAH. WE'RE THRILLED.

WHEN ARE YOU FOLKS HEADED HOME?

AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

THAT'S PROBABLYA REAL GOOD IDEA.

MA'AM.

THAT HURTS!

WHY'D YOU--WHY DID YOU PINCH ME?

I TOLD YOU NOT TO TALK.

YOU'RE LUCKY I DIDN'TCUT YOUR TONGUE OUT.

JR PUTTHOSE MARKINGS ON THE MAP

FOR A REASON.

CALL ME CRAZY, BUT I WANT TO KNOW WHY.

NO, LOOK, I'M--

I'M REALLY FLATTERED, REALLY, I AM, BUT...

NO, DON'T GET UP!

NO, LOOK, I JUST--

I'D FEEL TERRIBLEIF WE DID ANYTHING

TO JEOPARDIZE OURPROFESSIONAL RELATIONSHIP.

HOW WOULD YOU FEELIF WE WERE KILLED?

REALLY BAD. WHY?

THERE'S TWO GUYSOVER THERE.

I DON'T WANT THEMTO SEE US.

YOU SEE THAT TRUCKOVER THERE?

I WANT TO GETA CLOSER LOOK AT IT.

I'VE GOTSOME BINOCULARS.

NO, NOT FROM UP HERE, FROM DOWN THERE.

HOW DID I KNOWYOU WERE GOING TO SAY THAT?

COME ON.

WE'VE BROKENSO MANY LAWS ALREADY,

I'M GETTING CONFUSED.

IS THIS BREAKING AND
ENTERING, OR TRESPASSING?

IT'S BEING NOSY, IT'S NOT AGAINST THE LAW,

SO WATCH MY BACK.

OKAY, LEAVE IT, LEAVE IT.

THOSE GUYS ARE COMING BACK.

COME ON, COME ON.

COME ON.

NIGEL, COME HERE.

THESE HOLES MATCHTHE MARKINGS ON JR'S MAP.

NOW, FOR SOME REASON, THEY WERE IMPORTANT

TO JR... AND TO THOSE TWO GUYS.

I MEAN, THEY WERE TRYING
TO HIDEEVERY ONE OF THEM.

HERE, WHAT DO YOUTHINK THIS IS?

IT'S TRIPWIRE, FOR DYNAMITE.

THAT'S WHAT CAUSEDALL THESE HOLES.

WELL, WHO'D WANT TO EXPLODEDYNAMITE OUT HERE?

SOMEONE WHO'SLOOKING FOR OIL.

LOOK, I WENT ONLINE,

I GOOGLED "BLACKSINTERNATIONAL--"

IT'S AN OILEXPLORATION COMPANY.

OIL GEOLOGISTS, THEY DRILL "SHOT-HOLES,"

STUFF DYNAMITE INTO THEM, BLOW IT UP,

AND THEN USE THE REFLECTEDSOUND WAVES

TO MAPTHE SUBTERRANEAN STRUCTURE.

OKAY. IS THIS REAL,

OR IS THIS MORE OF
YOUREUCLIDEAN-COSINE NONSENSE?

NO, NO, THAT'S--THAT'S HOW IT'S DONE.

GOOGLE, AGAIN.

JR OBVIOUSLY KNEW

SOMEONE WAS LOOKING FOR OILOUT HERE.

MY GUESS IS,

SOMEONE WASN'T VERY
HAPPYTHAT HE KNEW ABOUT IT.

ALL RIGHT, FINE, JUST PLAY HARD-TO-GET,

IT'S JUSTA MATTER OF TIME.

YOU CAN'TKEEP ME OUT FOREVER.

NIGEL, YOU'VE GOT TOHEAR THIS ONE...

"I HATED TO SEE THE NIGHT END.

"I WANTED TO BE WITH YOU,
WARM AND SOFT IN MY ARMS,

UNTIL THE END OF TIME."

"UNTIL THE END OF TIME!"

I MEAN, WHO WRITESSUCH PATHETIC POPPYCOCK?

SOMEONE WHO ADORED YOUR MOTHER.

HOW MANY LETTERS ARE THERE?

DOZENS AND DOZENS,

AND THEY'RE SO SACCHARINETHEY

NO, NO, THIS IS NOT A DATE.

A DRINK AND A TALK? THAT'S...

HELLO? THAT IS TOTALLY A DATE.

HE'S A BLOODY DETECTIVE, NIGEL.

ANY LUCK?

I'LL BE IN JR'S COMPUTERBY

MEANWHILE,

I MANAGED TO HACK INTOTHE
COUNTY LAND RECORDS.

NOW, EXCEPTFOR TASSAJARO,

EVERY PARCEL OF LANDON JR'S MAP

WHO BOUGHT THEM?

A DOZEN DIFFERENTCOMPANIES,

BUT IT GETS INTERESTING--

EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEMIS OWNED BY A COMPANY

CALLED "JDT ENTERPRISES" --

INCORPORATEDIN THE GRAND CAYMANS.

SUPPOSED TO BE THE BEST.

I AM.YOU'RE WASTING MY TIME.

I'M PAYING FOR YOUR TIME.

NO WAY. TURN AROUND!

NIGEL...

THAT'S JEAN PHILLIPE ANDREWS!

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU TWOCAN
EAT AT A TIME LIKE THIS.

THIS IS LUNCH,

THIS IS NOTA "TIME LIKE THIS" --

WHATEVER THAT MEANS.

WHAT IT MEANS IS, WE KNOW WHO'S DOING WHAT,

WE KNOW WHY,

WE HAVE A VICTIM, WE HAVE VIDEO TAPE--

AND, AS I SAID BEFORE,
WE CAN'TPROVE ANYTHING. NOT YET.

THERE MUST BESOMETHING WE CAN DO.

WE CAN QUESTION THE SHOOTER,

BUT IF HE'S A PRO, HE WON'T CRACK.

AND BESIDES, HE'SJUST THE HIRED GUN.

WHY DON'T WE GO AFTER ANDREWS?

WHAT'S HIS MOTIVE?

HE OWNS TASSAJARO,

HE CAN DO ANYTHING ON THAT LANDHE WANTS TO DO

THAT'S NOT ILLEGAL--

INCLUDINGDRILLING FOR OIL.

WHY HAVE JR KILLED?

IT MAKES NO SENSE.

I MEAN, THE WORST THINGHE COULD'VE DONE

IS WRITEAN EMBARRASSING EXPOSE.

THE ANDREWS NAMEMEANS A LOT AROUND HERE.

MAYBE JEAN PHILLIPE

JUST FELTHE COULDN'T AFFORD AN EXPOSE.

WHAT CAN I SAY?

PEOPLE ARE WEIRD.

NO, WE'RE MISSINGSOMETHING.

THERE'S A PIECEOF THE PUZZLE

WE HAVEN'T FOUND.

YOU HAVEN'T SAID A WORD.

NOT ONE.

I HATE ITWHEN YOU'RE NOT TALKING.

IT MEANS YOU'RE THINKING...

WHICH IS NEVER GOOD,

BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T FIGURE OUT

WHATEVER YOU'RE TRYING TOFIGURE OUT,

THEN YOU START OBSESSING

AND FESTERING, YOU KNOW?

AND THEN THE PRESSUREJUST BUILDS

AND BUILDS, BUILDS, BUILDS,
AND, THEN, P-SHEW! YOU KNOW?

YOU'RE LIKE MOUNT VESUVIUSERUPTING

AND THEN BLOWINGHOT ASH AND ROCK

MILES INTO THE AIR,

AND BURYING THOUSANDS OFINNOCENT PEOPLE

IN YOUR MOLTEN LAVA--LIKE ME, FOR INSTANCE...

NIGEL, IF YOU KEEPDISTRACTING ME,

I'M GOING TO SEWYOUR LIPS TOGETHER.

IT COULD BE$100 MILLION!

THIS ISN'T ABOUT MONEY.

JEAN PHILLIPE HAS BROKENHIS
FAMILY'S SACRED OATH.

START CALLING.

THE CEREMONY'STOMORROW!

WHAT'S WRONG? WHAT'S JEAN PHILLIPE DOING?

HIS OFFICE SENT THIS LETTER
OUTTO ALL THE ELDERS.

HE'S SELLING TASSAJARO.

TO JDT.

BUT HE IS JDT.

THAT DOESN'TMAKE ANY SENSE.

WHY SELL IT?

HE SHOULD GIVETHAT LAND TO US.

THAT'S WHAT BART HADALWAYS INTENDED TO DO.

UNTIL HE FOUND JEAN PHILLIPE...

HIS ONLY HEIR.

THE MISSING PIECE, NIGEL.

FRANCOIS! IT'S PRUDENCE.

A FUTURE THAT MY FATHER

AND GENERATIONSOF THE ANDREWS FAMILY

I'M SUREIT'S A SURPRISE,

BUT IT WON'TBE PLEASANT.

WHY? WHAT'S HAPPENED?

BART ANDREWS' SON

DIED IN THE SAME CRASHTHAT KILLED HIS MOTHER.

WHAT'RE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

OF COURSE YOU LEARNEDABOUT THIS

WHEN YOU HEARDABOUT GENEVIEVE,

BUT YOU DIDN'TTELL BART THAT

WHEN HE SENT YOU TO TRYAND
FIND HIS SON, DID YOU?

THAT'S RIDICULOUS.

IS IT?

BART WAS DYING,

AND YOU WEREN'TA MEMBER OF THE FAMILY,

SO YOU WEREN'T GOING TOGET A PENNY.

SO, YOU FOUND A BOY

THE SAME AGE ASJEAN PHILLIPE, IN FRANCE,

YOU MADE A DEAL WITH HIM,

AND YOU CREATEDA SON FOR BART

THAT WOULD BE YOUR KEYTO THE FAMILY FORTUNE.

YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS, PRUDENCE?

IT'S A SICK FANTASY.

YOU NEED PROFESSIONAL HELP.

ACTUALLY, YOU'RE THE ONETHAT NEEDS HELP--

A GOOD DEFENSE LAWYER.

AND IT'S NOT A FANTASY...

IT'S THE REAL THING.

HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT FOR IT?

HOW DOES A BILLIONDOLLARS SOUND?

SOMETHING TELLS ME

THEY'RE NOT GOING TO ACCEPTTHAT
OFFER, PRUDENCE.

DON'T BE STUPID, DOUG.

DO YOU REALLY THINKWE DIDN'T TELL THE POLICE

EVERYTHING WE KNOW?

I KNOW YOU DIDN'T,

OTHERWISE THEY'D BE HEREINSTEAD OF YOU TWO.

FREEZE!

DROP THE GUN!

DON'T THINK-- DROP IT!

HANDS BEHIND YOUR HEAD, BOTH OF YOU!

DROP TO YOUR KNEES!

CROSS YOUR ANKLES.

AND, ON BEHALFOF THE ANDREWS FAMILY,

I'M PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE

THAT EVERY PENNYOF THIS FIVE MILLION DOLLARS

WILL BE DONATED

TO THE NATIVE AMERICANTRIBAL COUNCIL.

WE DON'T WANT MONEY.

YOU WON'T DESTROY OUR HISTORYAND HERITAGE.

WE'RE TRANSFERRING STEWARDSHIP

TO A COMPANY THAT WILL CONTINUETHE
TRADITION OF MY FAMILY.

YOU SAID YOUR FAMILY?

YES.

WE'VE OWNED THIS LAND SINCE--

NO, THE ANDREWSHAVE OWNED THIS LAND.

YOU'RE NOT A MEMBEROF THAT FAMILY.

YOU'RE A PRETENDER...

A LIAR AND A FRAUD.

NOT ONLY THAT--

HE'S PLANNING TO DRILL FOR OILUNDER TASSAJARO

AND DESECRATETHIS SACRED GROUND.

WHAT DO YOU THINKYOU'RE DOING?

YANKING YOUR COVER.
