Oh. Jesus.

Who the hell are you?

My name is David Duttonville.

I'm a private investigator.

I. Um...

I'm gonna sit down now.

You scared me.

Door was open. I used to live next door. I was just...

Yes. I know who you are.

I thought you were still in the. Uh...

- I made bail. - Great.

My company. Duttonville Research...

it's been hired by three insurance companies...

to investigate a total $ 1.5 million double indemnity claim...

by Eddy Otis on his wife. Kay Otis.

In fact. We were hopin' that you might be able to help us.

$ 1.5 million?

Yes. That's the point.

It is rather a lot to take out on a would-be lounge singer...

who never earned a cent in her entire life.

However. There's no law against it.

She had a policy on him in the same amount.

Eddy's explanation is...

that they loved each other so much...

he figured if either of them got killed...

they'd need a lot of compensation.

It's a funny attitude.

The world is a funny place.

So he went back in there...

and he beat her to death...

for money.

Just as simple as that.

Isn't that amazing?

I even think he liked her.

You're saying he killed Kay Otis?

Of course he killed her.

But what a set-up.

The whole thing just so he could...

$ 1.5 million.

I checked his alibi. It's gonna hold.

What about the people at the lodge? I wonder how much he paid them.

Me too.

But who is Eddy? Where'd he come from?

I was hoping you knew.

He told me he was a financial advisor.

Great.

Now I know.

I'm on this for a week.

There's a limit to what one can do in a week.

I need something solid.

You got anything?

Just what I already told them.

The police know about the insurance. I suppose?

They're not interested. I think they feel comfortable with you.

- Comfortable? - You know what I mean.

They got a good case.

Look. You got my card.

You think of anything. you give me a call.

Oh. And by the way. in case you're interested...

when I interviewed Otis. he was with your spouse.

The grieving widower comforting the lonely wife.

I'm gonna get going.

Goodbye.

I'm Richard Parker. Why are you doing this to me?

- Who is it? - Call the police.

Get my gun. then call the police.

I've lost my wife...

my child. My home.

I'm facing a death sentence or life imprisonment.

Call the police.

How do you sleep at night?

Damn it. Woman. call the police.

Didn't he pay you enough to kill me?

Richard, uh, this is George Gordon.

I'm afraid we failed in getting a further postponement of the trial.

The trial will be in three weeks.

I do have to say I would advise you to reconsider your plea.

Thank you.

All my life I've been a slave

Just put me down and let me be

Free from all

This misery

Mmm, that was Olivia Kamen with 'Put No Headstone On My Grave..."

a song made famous by Little Esther Phillips...

at The Blues Connection here in Five Points, Atlanta. Next...

There you go.

Kay?

Sorry.

What happened to the contest?

Contest?

There was a blues contest on the radio.

- I was just listening to it. - Oh. That was last week.

You must have been listening to a repeat.

There was a singer. Olivia Kamen?

Oh. She won. But when we went out lookin' for her...

to give her the prize. She lit out. Didn't leave an address or nothin'.

- What does she look like? - What does she look like?

Ooh. She looked good!

- All right! - Yeah!

Thank you. Thank you very much.

And thanks to our friend that we haven't seen in a long time.

- Tip your bartenders and waitresses. - They're not bad.

And remember. We love you. We thank you for loving the music.

Drive safe on your way home. Good night.

- Who loves you so, mm-hmm - That's her voice.

I'd know it if she was singing underwater.

So who got killed that night?

I don't know.

We gotta exhume the body and get a closer look.

Can't exhume the body. It was cremated. I checked on the way over.

Besides. Otis is not the only one who identified the body.

- Someone else? - A doctor.

- A doctor? - Yeah.

I'll bet you $ 1.000 if you call my insurance company...

you will see that same doctor's name on an insurance claim...

that Eddy made when he faked an accident involving my car.

You're suggesting that Otis...

- Went out and hired someone... - Probably.

who resembled Kay. So you could make love to her...

- And he could then beat her to death. - Yes.

I'll think about it.

From all the trouble you've caused me

Okay. Okay. she's got a nice voice.

- Turn it off before I break down and cry. - Don't...

- Do you have any other recordings? - Like what?

Recordings like she made before she died.

I told you. She didn't record anything. That's my point.

No. That's my point. We have no comparison.

A broad in some club in Five Points sounds like...

some broad who got snuffed in Huntcliffe...

according to you. the accused snuffer.

I go into court with a thing like that. they'll laugh in my face.

And the initials KO. OK. Olivia Kamen...

Oh. Please. Please. Mr Parker. I'm an old man.

Does it fall to me at this time of life to have to explain...

the fundamental principles of the judicial system to a man of your intelligence?

Evidence. Dear boy. Evidence.

So find it. You old bastard. Find it.

Help me up.

- Hi. Dad. Bye. Dad. - Say. Don't slam the door.

- No fighting. Junior. I mean it. - Mama.

- You called me. - Yeah. I thought you'd call me back.

l- I normally don't do business here at my home.

- What'd you find out? - Daddy's coming now. I know he promised.

- Why don't you have a seat? - Ready or not. Here I come.

- No. No. No. No. You can't. You cheated. - There's not a trace so far.

But there was a woman disappeared that night. Similar appearance and everything.

Hi. Honey. Uh. The boys are waiting for you to play basketball.

Oh. This is. Uh. Richard Parker. that insurance case...

- Hello. Richard. Mm-hmm. Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.

- Uh. We'll be finished here in a minute. - I'm gonna start dinner.

Sorry to intrude.

But I did find the doctor who signed that death certificate.

Name's. Uh. Dr Pettering.

He also signed Eddy's injury claim.

Seems he was a promising young doctor in Chicago...

till he got greedy and blew himself up.

He's got a scar down one side of his face.

Yeah. Otherwise he's real good-lookin'.

A month after the murder...

he and Eddy went into partnership.

They call it a residential treatment centre for addictive disorders.

There is a third partner.

A third partner.

Partner in both senses of the word. Do you catch my drift?

Your wife.

Priscilla.

If Eddy catches you prowling around his property...

he will have your bail revoked.

He's got my wife and child.

Do you think... Do any of you feel qualified to deal with him...

or do we actually bring somebody else in? Is that a possibility?

Or is it pretty much a moot point?

- Hello. - I got your message.

Didn't I tell you not to go to Charleston, Richard?

Why didn't he kill the real Kay? It would have been a lot easier.

Maybe they were partners in it. Maybe he liked her too much.

- But I don't... - Maybe they're still in touch.

- It's a possibility, I guess. - It's my last possibility.

- Hey. Sam. How are ya? - Oh. I'm just fine.

Honey. Don't squeeze the bread like that.

These are so special.

Mom. Please. I really want that.

- Hello. Hi. Eddy. - Priscilla, hi.

- Did you get the samples? - Yeah. I got them. I'm on my way.

- Want to go out to dinner tonight? - No. I think we should stay in.

Lori goes back in a few days and. Uh. she seems a bit upset lately.

So it'd be great if we could. Uh. You know. spend the night in the house.

- All right. I'll see you in a little while. - Love you.

Okay. Bye-bye.

Rape! Richard! Go away!

- Leave me alone. Please! - Priscilla!

- No! - Listen to me!

Don't... Don't hurt me. Please!

I'm not gonna hurt you.

- L... - I want you to play this for Eddy.

It's Kay. She's alive.

It was another one of Eddy's scams.

This one was for a million and a half.

Oh. Richard. Oh.

Just play the tape...

for Eddy tonight.

- May I go now? - You'll play it?

I'll play the tape.

How's Lori?

Can I see her?

Please? Please! Priscilla?

Where are you staying?

The Carolina Motel.

For how long?

That depends.

Be careful.

Don't put no headstone on my grave

All my life I've been a slave

Now tell my mother not to cry

I'll see her in the by-and-by

Tell her that I'm finally free

From all the trouble you've caused me

Don't put no headstone

On my grave

All my life I've been a slave

Just put me down and let me be

Free from all

This misery

I'm sorry.

That sounded so much like Kay.

It really got to me.

Where did you find that?

I got it in the mail.

It's from Richard.

I got it in the mail.

Oh. That poor. Sick bastard.

What's he trying to do to us?

He finds some girl that sounds like Kay.

He records it and sends it here.

You think you've started a life...

and you hear something like this and it just brings it all back!

I'm sorry.

- You got anything? - Got. Uh. Three Memphis.

- I got a Memphis. Savannahs. - Savannah here.

- Atlantic City. New York. Chicago. - Another Savannah.

Savannah. Savannah. Savannah. Four Savannahs.

The same day that Eddy heard the tape. Same number.

- Great. Let's give it a call. - 912-555-3722.

- Here. Give it a try. - No. You do it. You do it.

- Just ask for Olivia Kamen. - Scoville Hotel.

- Hello? Hello? - Hello. Scoville Hotel.

- Can I help you? - Yeah. Scoville Hotel.

Uh. Can you give me Olivia Kamen's room?

- Who? - That's K-a-m-e-n.

One moment.

- What? - They're ringing her room.

She's there.

- What can I do for you? - I'm looking for an Olivia Kamen.

- She's down at the Dominion Cafe. - Where's that?

It's a joint on East Broad and Bay.

- Could you walk it from here? - No. But you could.

Once my cup was overflowing

And I gave nothin'in return

Now I can't begin to tell you

What a lesson

What a lesson I learned

Looking back

Over my deeds

I can see signs

A wise man heeds

But I know

Yes, I know

I'll never make that same

Mistake again

But I know

Yes, I know

I'll never make that same

Mistake again

You can't go in there.

Where is she? Olivia Kamen? Where is she?

- She's gone. - Olivia Kamen. Which room?

All the way to the top on the roof.

- I didn't know! I swear... - Don't lie to me!

I swear. That night after we played baseball...

he told me to go up to the lake to Watkins Lodge...

and stay out of sight.

You drove the Mercedes with the cigarette boat.

The next morning. he shows up on his motorbike.

We go out on the lake...

and he tells me everything.

And then he said if I told anyone...

he'd say I'd known all along.

Then I went to Canada. and I tried to forget...

what I did to you.

Yes?

There's a David Duttonville downstairs.

He... He wants to see you alone.

- Hi. - Hi.

How was Atlanta?

I missed you.

Looks like somebody in your family's been travelling.

One. Two. Three. four shirts. One suit.

Tuesday?

And you're sure it was Richard?

The deskman said he saw him go upstairs with Miss Kamen.

There were fingerprints all over the place.

The Savannah police think that by now there's a good chance he may have left Savannah.

- Do you want us to put some men up by the house? - No. I have a 24-hour guard.

- We have very tight security. - Do you mind if we just check around your property...

- To make sure you're adequately protected? - No. I'd appreciate that.

- Eddy? Before you come up... - Yeah?

will you grab my purse. Please? It's next to the telephone.

Sure.

Thank you.

Hello?

Yes. It is.

What? Now?

Well. It's a little...

All right. Tell him I'll be over.

Yeah. Five minutes. Yeah. Okay.

The police are over at the clinic. They want me to come by.

How are you?

Fine.

You've been through a lot today.

Don't worry. I won't be long.

I'm not gonna leave you.

Oh. God.

Did you know that I can see things. Priscilla?

I can see things nobody can.

I'm so good...

at predicting...

that I can read tomorrow's headline.

"A man last night broke into the home of his ex-wife...

"and killed for the third and last time.

"Arriving tragically too late...

"Eddy Otis. The woman's... the dead woman's friend...

"shot and killed him.

"The man. Richard Parker. was already wanted...

in connection with several other..."

Oh. Yes. He's here.

Priscilla. He's in the house right now. Wondering...

when he should make his final move.

Why?

Because I wanted him to.

He's my puppet.

Here he comes.

Come on. Richard.

Come to papa.

Here we are with the WKPJ traffic news.

Good news for all you happy commuters wending your way home.

Traffic is flowing smoothly on all major arteries.

In other news today, an Atlanta court threw out all charges against Richard Parker...

in the murder case that shocked the city earlier this year.

Parker, the court concluded, was set up by his neighbour, Eddy Otis...

in what veteran insurance investigator David Duttonville...

called one of the most diabolical life insurance scams on record.

When asked about his future plans, Mr Parker said he intends...
