No. This is all getting too heavy.

Sooner or later someone's going to catch on

and we'll have the Feds down on us.

- I'm out, finished,

and as soon as I make this putt

you owe me two thousand dollars.

- I can't believe how good you've become.

- I guess I just have a natural talent for golf.

- You've been taking lessons behind my back.

- What makes you say that?

- Samantha? - Okay fine.

Maybe one or two. I just picked it up really fast.

You owe me fifty dollars.

- Oh, you don't really expect me to pay?

- Cassie, a bet's a bet.

And besides, I have to get back the money I spent on lessons.

- Chief Connors!

- Ahhh.

- Chief Connors? Chief?

Late for your Tee time?

- I have no interest counselor

in chasing a little white ball

through a cow pasture.

- Brian, get in there and find out who phoned this is in.

- Right Chief. - You stick with me.

As soon as we find out where the crime scene is,

we'll secure it.

- Crime scene?

- Possible homicide.

- Who was murdered?

- Miss Kinsey. I just got here.

Please, if you'll let me do my job?

- Chief...

- What do you want?

- Jake Cowlings, the head grounds keeper.

- Did you phone this in?

- No, sir. They're in the Club House office.

I'll take your man to the body.

- Where is the body?

- Sixth hole. Looks like his head got hammered.

- Mister Groundskeeper,

please keep any information you might have for police questions.

- Go with him, secure the area.

Now Miss Kinsey, no snoopy.

I want you to stay right here.

You understand me?

- No snooping.

- Thank you.

[phone rings]

- Hello?

- Philby, how goes the treasure hunt?

- Very taxing.

I have found some unusual and rare books

that will go with our inventory.

- You are having a good time, aren't you?

- Well, you meet some interesting people at estate sales.

- Your idea of a vacation and mine are very different.

[Philby laughs]

- Listen, I heard there was

a murder at the Sunset Country Club.

- It made the news in San Francisco?

- Are you involved?

- All I know is what I read in the papers.

A businessman named Stan Ferrone was killed.

He worked for the Chandler Corporation.

- Samantha! - Philby,

I would not get involved in a case without you around.

Besides, there's no personal connection.

We're probably the only people involved that don't work for Jackson Chandler.

- I'll be back by the first of the week.

- Well don't rush on my account.

- I've had about all the leisure time that I can endure.

Now you call me if you need anything.

- Count on that, Bye.

- Chiao.

- Let me know if you need anything Mr. Chandler.

- Thank you, Emily. That will be all for now.

- Good morning Mr. Adam.

- Sit down Adam.

looks like our stocks have recouped slightly.

Would you like something to eat?

- Uhh, no. I can't stay long.

I have people waiting for me back at the office.

- It's a shame about Ferrone. He was a good man.

- An asset to the company.

- He was working on the Gibson deal, wasn't he?

- With me.

- So, any ideas who we should

fill the empty slot with.

- Why fill it.

It would be more cost effective to let me

go on alone in that department.

- I was going over last quarter's report.

I am not entirely satisfied in your performance.

- What else is new?

- Don't be flippant.

You have a job to do and I expect you to do it right.

- Are we finished with our father son chat?

- Yes, I suppose we are.

- Good.

- You know,

just once I would like to fix something for you, Jackson.

- Must you always call me by my first name.

- What should I call you?

[baby coos]

[doorbell, door opens]

- Thank you.

- Can I help you with something?

- Isn't this the Mystery Man bookstore?

- It was. We changed the name.

- I was hoping to talk the man who owns the store.

- He passed away.

- I'm sorry to have bothered you.

- Hey. Wait a second. Wait. I'm his niece,

Samantha Kinsey. Can I do somethin' for you?

- No, I don't think so. He was my last hope.

- Hope, for what?

- Hey. It's OK. Come, Come here.

Come sit down. I got your baby.

- [through sobs] I'm sorry.

- Come on. It's OK.

Hey you.

- Here we go.

You wanna tell me what's goin' on?

- I can't.

I- I don't know anything.

I mean all I know, is that I wanna keep my baby safe.

- Your baby is safe,

so are you.

- Hey Dino.

- Good night.

- Working late counselor?

- Yes, I have a stack of paperwork

that's growing faster than my credit card balance.

- Paperwork makes the world go round.

- I haven't had time to read the report on the Golf course murder?

- I've just issued an A. P. B. on one Johnny Nelson.

- Prime suspect?

- At this point the only suspect.

- And the connection between the deceased and Nelson is?

- He was a grounds keeper at the country club.

He was seen standing over the body,

and then he got into his work cart and drove away.

- Who reported it? - A couple of golfers that saw it.

- That's purely circumstantial.

He could have left the scene of the crime

to report finding the deceased.

- He could have, but he didn't.

Nelson disappeared that day.

- Motive?

- Looks like robbery.

The decease's wallet didn't have any cash in it.

Nelson's in debt up to his ears.

Evicted from a rental house.

Behind on a couple of car payments.

- Murder weapon?

- Some sort of blunt object

we haven't found it yet.

- Well, he shouldn't be too hard to find.

- I'd say you right.

He has a wife and baby with him.

I'll have the report on your desk soon,

so, get in there and clean that paperwork off.

- I gotta go. I'm meeting a friend.

- Say hi to Miss Kinsey for me.

- Tracked down his address.

Landlord says he's in the process of evicting them.

Aha,

I understand.

Yes sir.

- Stake the place out he says.

- So, we wait. - Yeah.

Someone's inside.

- What? - I saw someone in the living room. Let's go.

- What? - I saw someone in the living room. Let's go.

[dramatic music]

[car guns engine, peels out]

- I'm Suzi and this is my baby Joshua.

Joshua Paul.

- Well, it's a pleasure to meet you Suzi.

And Joshua Paul.Yeah.

- Well, we really should be going now.

- Um, you said that my Uncle was your last hope.

For what?

- A safe place to stay for a few days.

I went by another old friend's house first.

But she was out of town.

- Are you in trouble?

- No, but I think my husband is.

- Where is he? - I don't know.

- Maybe you should go to the police.

- No, no not yet.

Listen we really should be goin' now.

- If you were a friend of Uncle Bob's,

you must be okay.

You're welcome to stay at my house.

- Ah, I wouldn't wanna put you out.

- You wouldn't put me out at all.

I've got plenty of room.

Do you have a car?

- Yeah, a mini van parked out on the street.

- Ok. Well, I'll just lock up

and you and Joshua can follow me to my house.

- Are you sure about this?

- Absolutely. I didn't catch your last name.

- It's Charleston.

- Oh. [phone rings]

Excuse me.[to the baby] Excuse me.

What's up, Cassie?

- Sam, I've been waiting twenty minutes.

- Waiting?

- Outside the gym.... we were meeting here

to work out, and then go to the Cantina...remember?

- Oh, that.

- Oh that? Are you coming or not?

- Well, something came up. And I gotta...I gotta finish it.

Then I'm gonna go home... and rest.

- Ok well, I'm gonna go work out

and then I'll go get some food and come by later.

- No...I mean I'll be asleep early.

- Well alright. Well get some sleep and

we'll talk tomorrow.

- Sounds like a plan.

- Hey I'll be in court in the morning

so don't call until after two.

- Ok I'll do it. Have a good workout.

- Thanks.

- Bye.

So, I just need to button up a few things

and then we're outta here.

- I just need to stop by and get some formula.

- Ok, we'll stop on the way.

Did we get enough formula?

- Yes, more than enough.

- Is he still hungry?

- No, he stopped fussing.

So that means his tummy is full and he's getting a clean diaper.

- So, they fuss when they're hungry

and they fuss when they need to be changed.

- Or when they don't feel well.

See sometimes after he eats, he gets gas,

so, I have to pat his back until he burps huh.

Have um' you had much experience with babies?

- Not real ones.

I took Home Economics in High School.

So, I fed and diapered dolls.

- Yeah, I was really scared at first.

Like maybe I'd do something that's

gonna hurt the little guy.

- Well, he looks pretty healthy to me.

- I guess I got used to being a mommy.

I mean there's really nothin' to it.

They eat, do their thing and sleep.

At least at this age.

- Yeah, I heard the twos and threes are really the worst.

They test you all the way.

- Well see, you do know about babies.

- I read a lot.

- He's so innocent.

- This is all just too much.

- Hey. Why don't you put your things in the spare room, Ok?

You can get cleaned up. I'll make us some food

and we can talk.

- Um, I'll go do it if you'll watch little Josh.

- Of course.

- Ok.

- Do you need anything else from the van?

- No. - Ok.

Hi. Hi. Hello.

You are a fine young man,

with a very mysterious momma.

- It's Me.

Yeah, I'll meet you tonight at 10,

salvage yard outside of Walden.

Come by yourself, I don't wanna see anyone else.

You just hold up your end first,

I'll take care of mine.

[enigmatic music]

[baby crying]

- Hi. - Is he alright?

- Yeah, he had a little gas.

It gave him a tummy ache.

I think he should stay asleep this time...

Sam I'm so sorry.

I know you haven't been able to get much sleep.

- I'm made some tea. Would you like some?

- No, thank you.

You know we really shouldn't be bothering you.

- Seriously I can get by without eight hours.

In fact, I do quite a bit of the time.

- You're very kind.

Like your Uncle.

- Earlier at the bookstore

you said that my Uncle was

an important part of your life.

What did you mean by that?

- My mother was a big mystery fan

so, she would drag me down to the bookstore every Saturday.

Your Uncle always made sure that I had something to do

while my mother browsed and read.

I would pretend that I worked there.

- Oh, so I guess you met Philby?

- Yeah, he was always so quiet.

I could never understand why a man like him

was working in a bookstore in a town like Walden.

- That is a real mystery.

- Every Saturday your Uncle would sit me down

and help me with my homework.

I was an A student because of that.

- That sounds like my Uncle Bob.

Education and imagination open the doors of the human mind

otherwise closed to the common man.

- I heard that several times.

I went to Birchcrest.

- Oh, the all-girl school.

That must've cost your parents a bundle.

- No, my...my mother could never have afforded it.

See your Uncle

said he saw real potential in me,

so, he paid for my tuition.

- He was a very carrying man.

- So, I guess when I said he

was an important part of my life

I guess what I meant was that he became like,

like a father figure to me.

- I totally understand.

So, did your mother move away from Walden?

- Mm, my mother died a little over a year ago.

She never got to meet her grandson.

- I'm sorry.

- I was numb at first

then I got passed it.

Johnny was there for me when no one else was.

I had little Josh

and I thought everything was gonna be fine.

And then this happened.

- What happened?

- Believe me Samantha, if I knew I would tell you.

All I know is that something bad is going on

and the father of my baby is involved.

[spooky music and junkyard dog barking]

- You know the deal, so come on.

I'm here to get what I got comin'.

- Oh, you're gonna get what you got comin'.

You're in over your head Nelson!

- We'll find you sooner or later!

Even if we have to get to your wife and kid to do it!

[menacing music]

- Hi, I hope you were able to get some sleep.

- Oh, not to worry. How's our boy?

- He's doing just fine.

It's his daddy that I'm worried about.

- You didn't hear from him last night?

- No.

He was supposed to call at midnight.

But he didn't.

- Maybe it's time to bring the police into this.

- Not yet.

Besides I wouldn't even know what to tell them.

- You could start with, 'my husband's missing.'

- But he's not really missing.

I just don't know where he is at the moment.

He'll get in touch. I know he will.

- Okay,

here

is my cell phone number.

I can be here in minutes. Just call if you need anything okay.

- Thanks. - Bye Josh.

-I love you Josh.

- There you go. - Thank you.

- Enjoy it.

[phone beeps]

[phone rings]

- Yes? - Oh, you're there.

I was afraid I'd miss you.

- I was just on my way out.

- Quick question. - Shoot.

- A young girl use to come into the bookstore

with her mother every Saturday.

This would have been several years ago.

- Suzi Charleston.

- So, you know her. - Very well. Well,

at least I use to.

She was smart, bright,

had wonderful sense of humor.

Her mother was Arlene Charleston. The father had passed away.

- So, I'm told.

- You've met her? - Her and her baby.

- Imagine that, little Suzi married with a baby.

- She told me she was married,

but said her last name was Charleston.

- Well, that's her maiden name?

- Yeah, obviously

she didn't want me to know her married name.

- Samantha, are you getting into something?

- Nothing that I can't handle.

Talk to you later.

[doorbell] - Hey Sam.

- Oh, hi.

I thought you were going to be in court all morning.

- Yeah, both cases got postponed.

You wanna grab an early lunch before I have to get back.

- Oh, I wish I could but

I gotta get this shipment out.

- Double work with Philby away.

- Man, it's just been craziness without him.

- You look tired.

- Really? - Really!

- Wow, I guess my makeup didn't hide it.

- What's going on?

- Okay.

My neighbor's dog has been keeping me up night.

- Your neighbor's dog.

- Yes, barking right outside my window.

- Sam, your neighbors don't have a dog.

- Oh, they just got one...yesterday.

The cutest little thing. Ankle biter though.

- You can always complain and if that doesn't work there's always doggie court.

- Oh, it won't go that far.

I mean, you know, a day or two the dog will settle down.

They're the nicest neighbors.

- So, no early lunch.

- Nope, not today.

- Great...Well I guess I'll go down to Lou's

and wrangle a lunch date with one of those

handsome lawyers that frequents the place.

- Ah, sounds good.

Bye bye.

- Bye.

[doorbell]

- Everything will be just fine little Josh.

You'll see. There's nothing to worry about.

Your mommy and daddy love you very much.

[phone rings]

- Hi, Honey.

- Hello, Baby.

- Why didn't you call me last night?

- I uh, ran into a little problem,

I didn't want to bother you.

- Bother me? I'm your wife, Johnny.

- And the mother of my son. How is my little boy?

- He's doing just fine. He's missing his daddy.

- It won't be long, and we'll all be back together soon.

- Johnny, what kind of problem did you run into last night

and, where are you?

- Just outside of Walden.

Are you and Josh in a safe place?

- Yes.

- I need you to bring me

some clean clothes that are in the van.

- Alright.

- This may be hard for you sweetie but,

I need you to leave little Josh with whoever you're staying with.

- Johnny, I can't do that.

We've never been apart.

- Stop by a drug store on your way

and bring me some alcohol and gauze bandage.

- Are you hurt?

- Just do what I asked you. Please, Suzi.

- Alright. Just um, just tell me where you are.

- The Arrow Motel on county route 2.

- Okay Johnny, bye.

[sad music]

[phone rings]

- Hey, I'm so glad you called. I was just going to...

- Hi Samantha, could you come home right now?

- What is it?

- I need you here, now.

- Okay. I will lock up and I'll be there in fifteen minutes.

- Okay. Please hurry.

[anxious music]

- Suzi? Suzi?

[baby coos]

- Dear, Samantha. I have no choice but to leave my baby with you.

I have to go and it's too dangerous to take him with me.

Please watch him for me.

I know that I can trust you to do that.

I will be in touch.

Thank you. Suzi.

- Anything new on the golf course murder?

- You know, you're the second person who has asked me that today.

- Really?

- Jackson Chandler was enquiring earlier.

- Makes sense. The deceased was an employee.

And since he lives here in Walden, you'd be the one to call.

Did you actually speak to the reclusive Mr. Chandler?

- No, I did not.

His office called.

- Anything new on the suspect?

- Outside of the wife and baby, he has no known relatives.

He was an only child; both his parents are deceased.

He did do a hitch in the Army

which gave us a good set of prints on him.

- Dragging around a wife and baby is not an easy thing to hide.

Maybe they split up.

- That's a distinct possibility...Counselor.

- Dinner is ready sir.

Will Evan be joining you?

- Thank you Emily, I'll find out.

Evan?

Evan, are you upstairs?

- Am I being summoned?

- Emily's preparing dinner.

I thought that you might join me.

- A little bonding over dinner?

- Something like that.

Perhaps we could go over the Gibson deal.

- You know you'll close the Gibson deal,

with or without my input.

- You can always learn something new.

- Come on Jackson, what could you possibly learn from me?

You taught me everything I know.

- So, what about dinner?

- I'm going out tonight. I should be getting ready.

- I'm be going out later too, but I'll eat first.

- No eating for me,

I'll get something on the run, thank you.

- Johnny, why would someone shoot you?

- Ahhh! Not now, Honey.

- We need to get you to a hospital.

- No, no hospitals, no doctors.

Just get the bandage and wrap it around my arm.

- I missed you, Suzi.

- I missed you too Johnny.

He's in good hands for a while.

- You should check on little Josh.

- You need me right now.

I'll stay with you.

- I love you, Suzi.

- I love you too, Johnny.

- We hit the lottery, Baby.

No more money worries for us..

we'll be...

- What?

- Man, this is all new to me.

I hope I'm doing it right.

- There you go.

Nothing's broken.

How does that feel?

Silence.

Okay, that's a

good endorsement of my diapering skills.

- You are such a handsome guy. Do you know that?

Okay, you're going to go in here.

Your mommy will be back really soon.

I hope okay.

[phone rings]

- Hello

- Hi, Samantha. It's Suzi.

- Where are you?

- I can't tell you that.

- Are you okay?

- I'm fine. My husband is hurt,

and I have to help him.

Listen, I didn't mean to just dump little Josh on you,

but I didn't have anyone else.

I'm going to be away a few more days so,

please watch over my baby.

- Suzi, where are you?

- I left you his car seat, the carrier just snaps into it.

Okay? I gotta go.

[baby coos]

- I guess it's just you and me little buddy.

Stinky.

- Uhh, darn battery's dead.

What next...

- Okay, here's the deal.

The day after tomorrow, nine A.M.

In front of the Bus station in Walden.

Come alone.

- Johnny?

- You went out.

- I went down the street to the Chinese restaurant.

I got you some soup.

- You shouldn't have gone out.

- You have to eat.

You're running a very high fever.

- It'll pass, I'll be fine.

- I'm taking you to the hospital.

- No, you're not.

- You have to see a doctor.

We need to tell the police that someone tried to kill you.

- I said no! - Why not?

- The police think I killed somebody,

that's why.

- Now we need a nice big burp.

Okay, you got it. A big, big...

[baby burps]

- Wow! That worked.

Nice.

- Hey, I think we should go to sleep now huh.

What do you think?

Okay, let's go. C'mon.

[baby starts to fuss]

- I'm here Johnny, I'm here.

[phone rings]

- Hello

- Hi, it's Suzi. How's my boy?

- Oh, asleep...finally.

- Are you alright?

- Yeah, I'm just tired.

Last night Josh's gas came back with a vengeance.

- Samantha, I really appreciate you watching him.

I promise it won't be much longer.

- No problem.

- I gotta go. Thanks again.

- Suzi? Suz...

- Suzi, can you come help me please?

- Yeah.

-Ahh

- What, are you crazy?

No problem.

One doesn't just watch a baby.

[phone rings]

- Hey, um, it's not that it's a big problem,

it's just that there are certain issues okay?

- Good morning to you too...What's not a problem?

- Ohh. Hi, Cassie.

- What's not a problem?

What issues?

- Oh. I just didn't get much sleep again last night.

- Barking dog keeping you up again?

- Yeah.

- Hey, I stopped by the store on my way to work.

You weren't open.

- Yeah, I'm running a little late this morning.

- A little late. Sam, it's eleven o'clock.

- I may just take the day off.

- Sam.

I'm really proud of you.

- For what?

- For staying out of current murder investigation.

Chief Connors even mentioned it.

- That's nice.

- You're not going to believe this.

They have a suspect, Johnny Nelson, a grounds keeper.

He's dragging around a wife and child with him.

He won't be hard to find.

- Nice.

- You should get some sleep.

- Bye.

- Sam? [dial-tone]

- Here we are sir.

- Thanks a lot.

[doorbell]

[doorbell multiple]

- Oh, I'm coming. I'm coming.

Philby?

- Samantha.

- What are you doing here?

- I went by the bookstore.

I called your cell,

I got your voicemail.

I was concerned.

- I mean back in town,

- May we discuss this inside.

- Yeah, I guess so.

You're going to find out sooner or later.

- So, you cut your trip short.

- After our last telephone conversation

I thought I'd come back.

Samantha, what is going on?

- What do you mean?

- You don't answer my calls.

It's almost noon. You're still in your pajamas

and you're acting strange.

- Strange?

Maybe I'm acting strange because

I haven't slept in two days.

Maybe that's why I am acting strange.

- And the reason for this lack of sleep?

[baby starts crying]

- Philby, what do you know about babies?

- They're very small... and they cry a lot.

- Don't move.

[gunshot]

[gunshot]

[gunshot]

[gunshot]

[gunshot]

- I see you have a new toy.

- Yeah, a fine piece.

Probably the most accurate handgun on the market today.

Also, one of the most powerful.

- Care to give it a try?

- I don't like guns. You know that.

- People change in their likes and dislikes.

- I was told you wanted to see me.

- Yeah, did you have a profitable time last night?

- Meaning? - You were out late.

- You were out late yourself.

Care to share with me about your evening?

- How would you know when I got in?

- The hood of your car was still warm when I passed it.

- Checking up on the old man, are you?

- Look, if it makes you feel any better,

last night was more enjoyable than profit.

Is this why you wanted to see me?

- I have some information that

the Security Exchange Commission is checking

up on some of our corporations.

- Could be a routine check.

- Or not.

You and Ferrone were supposed to take care of the paperwork.

- And we did.

- So, I can assume that everything's in order?

And, we don't want our own little Enron here.

- Ferrone was handling the bulk of it.

I'll check his records as soon as I get back to the office.

- You do that and copy me.

- Suzi's husband's in trouble and he's hurt.

She left the baby with you for safe keeping

and you have no idea on how to get in touch with her.

- Pretty much sums it up.

- First thing is,

we have to turn this baby over to the authorities.

- Philby, we can't do that.

They'll turn him over to Social Services.

You know what a mess it is over there.

They're over staffed with administrators

and too few caretakers.

- Samantha, are you getting attached to this baby.

- No, of course not...never.

Maybe a little bit.

I may be attached a little bit, right?

- You can't keep him from Cassie forever.

- I'll cross the Cassie bridge when I get there.

Suzi's called me twice and each time the number comes up

private on my cell phone.

Can you get that?

- The number and location the call came from.

- Can you do it?

- Well, my equipment is at the bookstore.

But I could withdraw the information from the cell phone

and feed it into a website.

In a day or so we should have the answers.

- Okay. Well, I'll get cleaned up and we'll go to the bookstore.

Come on little guy.

- Don't you want to get some rest?

- I will rest tonight...maybe.

- Oh, it's okay.

Stay with Uncle Philby.

- It's all right.

It's all right.

How are ya?

Samantha, how are ya?

- I'm glad Suzi left all the baby stuff.

- You don't want him to get too hot.

- It's cool back here.

- I guess he'll let us know

if he gets uncomfortable.

Let's get to work.

- Philby, I like my cell phone.

You're not going to fry it are you?

- Nothing that dramatic.

- I should be trying to find Suzi.

- Well, if you let Cassie in on it, she might be able to help.

- No, not yet.

Wait a second.

Cassie called me this morning,

right before you showed up.

I was completely out of it.

- Well, that happens

when people have a lack of sleep.

- I vaguely remember talking to her,

she mentioned Chief Connors

the murder investigation.

She said the suspect's name is Johnny Nelson

and that he has a wife and a baby.

- Coincidence?

- I could be taking care

of a murder suspect's son.

- It's an adorable, innocent, child.

- Suzi said that she went to see another old friend

before she came here.

But that, she was out of town.

So, that means there's someone else in town

that she trusted as much as Uncle Bob.

- She did have a teacher at the school that she was very fond of.

I think her name was,

Ethel.

Ethel Marris.

- Wait a second. I know her.

She's on the butterfly festival committee.

- Well, that's your starting point.

- I think it's time for me

to start snooping again.

Would you mind keeping

an eye on little Josh for me?

- No.

- Okay, there are

plenty of bottles in the fridge.

Oh, and make sure you burp him okay,

because otherwise he's going to get a tummy ache.

Oh, and don't put his diaper on too tight

because it makes marks on his little legs.

- You know what?

I think I'm just going to take him.

It's totally me, it's not you at all.

I promise it's me.

- I don't mind watching him.

- What's up?

- The man got a call from our guy.

- And?

- He slipped up.

Made a call from a motel phone.

- First timers always make a mistake.

- You all were great in rehearsal ladies

but, keep practicing.

We are a month away from show time.

And Joanie.

No more basketball for you until that arm heals.

Now get out of here.

- Hey Mrs. Marris.

Hi.

- Samantha, how good to see you.

- You too.

So, I see you're still pulling double duty.

Teacher and school nurse.

- Between sport injuries and Shakespeare next month.

I have my hands full.

- Shakespeare?

- A pageant.

We're building an

entire village out of cardboard boxes

on the soccer field.

- I can't wait to see that.

- Yeah, just pray that it doesn't rain

or my cardboard box village will melt.

- What a darling baby.

Hi.

I know that it's been awhile since I've seen you

but I don't think it's been that long.

- Oh, I'm watching him for a friend.

- Ohhh, he's a darling little man.

Is he always this quiet?

- When he's asleep.

- Are you here about the butterfly festival?

- No, I was actually hoping you could help me

with something.

- Sure thing.

- Have you seen or heard from

Suzi Charleston lately?

- That's so funny that you should ask me that.

I was out of town for a few days and my neighbor said

that a young woman with a baby was asking about me.

From the way she had described her it sounded like Suzi.

I didn't know that she had a baby.

- But you haven't had any contact with her?

- No... I didn't realize that you knew Suzi.

- Oh um, I found a note and some books

that my uncle had left for her,

and Philby told me about her.

- Yes, Suzi Charleston was an avid reader.

Your uncle got her hooked- on reading.

- It's not Charleston anymore is it?

- No, it's not. You're right.

It's Suzi Nelson but it just doesn't fit her somehow.

- Have you met her husband?

- No. They ran off to San Diego and got married,

they sent me a post card.

I really haven't talked to her in over a year.

I think she said that her husband was a landscaper,

gardener that sort of thing.

- Well, if you do hear from her will you let me know.

I just want her to have these books.

- Oh sure, yes.

- Thank you very much Mrs. Marris.

- Oh, you're welcome. It was just wonderful to see you, Samantha.

- You too, thanks.

[phone rings]

Hey it's Sam, I can't get to the phone right now,

leave a message and I will call you back as soon as I can.

- Hi Samantha, it's Suzi. I was just calling to check on you

and little Josh.

I'll try again later. Okay.

- Not there, huh.

- You should be in bed.

- I needed some fresh air.

I miss our little guy, Suzi.

- Yeah, me too.

- It won't be long, we'll all be back together,

everything will be peaches.

It will be fine.

- Johnny...you're not thinking right.

- Baby, you gotta trust me.

- I do, trust you.

But, you're sick and you need medical attention.

- I've had enough fresh air.

I'm going to go lay down.

- Hold on there.

I didn't know you had a guest staying with ya.

That's an extra ten dollars a night.

- I'll be by later, I'll pay you.

- Now will do.

Okay, this is good for two nights.

If she stays longer, I want more.

- You'll get your money okay?

We don't cheat anybody.

- Yeah, that's what they all say.

Hey, you don't look so good.

You sick or something?

- He has the flu.

- Just keep him away from me.

I don't need to be sick.

- Thank you for your concern.

- Get the van keys and the golf club.

Just do it. Hurry.

Just do it. Hurry.

- What is going on?

- Those two guys just went into the office.

They're looking for me.

- Here, I know a place we'll be safe.

Come on, come on.

- I don't come to the office much anymore Chief Connors,

so, could we make this quick? Why are you here?

- I'm investigating a homicide.

- Which brings us back to, why are you here?

- Well, I'm here to see if you would know why

anyone would want to kill Stan Ferrone.

- Stan was a valued employee who was hands on

in the running of several of my corporations.

He worked closely with my son.

- That still doesn't answer my question.

Are you aware if he had any enemies?

- No one I can think of who would wish him harm.

- So, everybody loved the guy?

- Yeah.

- Somebody didn't, he's dead.

You're a member of the board of directors at the Country Club.

Oh, in fact I believe you own the Country Club.

- Not personally.

One of my corporations does.

- Are you a golfer Mr. Chandler?

- Nothing serious, strictly recreational.

- Spend much time at the club?

- I go once or twice a week. Where's all this headed?

- I'm a cop,

cops ask questions.

That's what we do.

Do you know any of the employees of the club?

- Ah, I know where this is going.

Yes, I know a few and no

I do not know the grounds keeper

who is suspected of the crime.

- Never met him?

- I might have, I don't recall.

- If you can think of anything call me.

I'll show myself out.

[phone rings]

- Hi, where are you?

- Ben and I just got to the warehouse.

- Listen, have the police been by there today?

- No, sir. Are you expecting them?

- No but, if they show up

let me know about it, immediately, all right?

- Yes, sir.

- And, have you seen my son today?

- Yes, sir, earlier.

Would you like me to find him for you?

- No no, I'll handle it myself.

That will be all, Dave.

- That was the big man.

- Are we getting a raise?

- He'll surface again.

- Samantha Kinsey. Mystery Woman books.

I saw you here the other day.

You were with Chief Connors.

- I'm always looking for source material

and the Johnny Nelson case is of interest to me.

- Well, I hired him a little over two years ago.

He was always a hard worker.

Kept to himself most of the time.

Met his wife and baby once.

- About the same age as your baby.

Boy or girl?

- Uh, I beg your pardon?

- Your baby. Boy, girl?

- Oh, it's a boy but he's not actually mine.

I'm just watching him for a friend.

- He kind of looks like Johnny's baby.

- Don't all babies look alike?

- Oh, yeah, you're right.

- So, did Johnny ever mention having a friend

or relative nearby?

- No. He was a real loner. I wouldn't have figured

he could do something like this.

- How do you know that he did?

- The two guys who reported it,

saw him at the body.

Why else would he run away?

- How long have you worked here?

- A little over eight years.

It's a good place to work.

It's a good living.

I guess that's all that counts these days.

I used to work the parks in L. A. ...Pits.

- So, you have no idea where Johnny might be?

- Not the slightest.

- Well, thank you for your time, Mister Cowlings.

- Wish I could've been more help.

Ah, always a pleasure talkin' to a good lookin' lady.

- Well, if you hear from him

or if you think of anything that might important,

just give me a call. My number is on my card.

- Oh, ah, make sure you spell my name right.

- I will.

- Nice looking baby.

- Thank you.

Come on buddy.

- This is Jake Cowlings at the Country Club.

You asked me to call should someone come asking

about Johnny Nelson.

No, not cops though.

A woman with a baby that wasn't hers.

Samantha Kinsey. I've got her business card.

Phone number and address.

- Doctor Reynolds there's a visitor waiting

for you in front of the snack bar.

- Ah, Doctor Reynolds?

- Yes? - Hi, I'm Samantha Kinsey.

If I could just have a moment of your time.

- Eh, if this is one of those charity pitches,

I'm really not interested.

I give way too much already.

- Well, you can never give too much.

But I'm actually not looking for your money.

I'm doing some research on a book I'm writing.

- Oh, I do a little writing myself. How can I help you?

- I understand that you were one of the witnesses

questioned by the police about the murder.

- Myself and my nephew from New York.

He's back home now.

- What did you see?

- A grounds keeper kneeling over the body.

Going through the dead man's wallet, and leaving.

- So, you didn't actually see the crime when it happened.

- No. - Did you know the victim?

- I'm afraid not. I'm new at this club.

I took up golf rather late in life.

- Did you see the man, the victim was teamed with?

- No, not really. I'm a little slow at golf.

So, we were always playing well behind them.

- So, you couldn't identify him?

- Like I told the police, we were too far away.

I could identify his shoes though.

- His shoes?

- The brightest yellow shoes I've ever seen.

- Did you mention that to the police?

- No, I just now thought of it.

- Ok, just one more question.

When you got to the victim, was he dead?

- Oh, absolutely. I mean, I checked for vital signs, reflexes.

There weren't any.

Of course, that's the extent of my medical knowledge.

I'm a dentist.

- Well, thank you for your time.

- No problem. It was painless.

- Well, I didn't get anything at the country club.

But I did stop by and get some diapers on the way.

- Well, I've sent the data from your cell phone to my colleagues.

All we can do now is wait.

- You think I should tell Cassie and Chief Connors, don't you?

- I think you need to do what you think is right.

- Gees Philby, have you ever thought about becoming a politician?

- It's too dangerous.

- You know Suzi could've played me for a sucker.

- You think she may have been on it with her husband.

- Yeah, exactly...

and if that's the case,

she is a very good actress.

No,

I believe she's innocent in all this.

- Suzi couldn't lie to save her soul.

Her lip would always curl up.

We'd always catch her at it. It became a joke.

[doorbell]

- Hey, Sam.

Philby! You're back.

- Apparently so.

- What are you doing here?

- I haven't seen you in days and I got tired of calling.

So, I thought I'd stop by and here I am.

- Yes, you are.

- Do you want me to leave?

- You don't have to leave.

- I think it's time to cross that Cassie bridge.

- What is he talking about?

Ok, you're both acting strange.

Philby do you have barking dogs

keeping you up at night too?

- Cassie, you're my best friend, right?

- Your best friend. Yes.

- And friendship comes before business, right?

- Did you murder somebody?

- It could be worse than that.

Are you my best friend or not?

- Absolutely.

- Good. Then Cassie the D. A. stay right here.

Cassie my best friend come with me.

- Are you coming or not?

- Ok.

- I want you to meet the 'dog'

that's kept me the last two nights.

- That's a baby.

- Shhhhh. Quiet around the baby.

- Where did you get it?

- He's not an 'it'. He's a he.

- Where did you get him?

- His mother left him at my place.

- She abandoned him.

It happens all the time.

Even with the 'no questions asked' policy.

- He wasn't abandoned.

- She could have dropped him off at a fire station.

- He wasn't abandoned.

His mother asked me to take care of him.

- Do you know her?

Do I know her?

- You don't know her.

I sort of know her. She knew my uncle.

- And me.

When she was younger.

- So, a woman that you 'sort of know'

asked you to watch her infant child

and you agreed?

- It's not like she had a choice.

- She did leave me a note.

- A note!

She abandoned her child and left a note.

That is so sweet.

I'm calling Social Services.

- I thought you left 'business Cassie' outside.

- I'm doing this as your best friend,

because clearly neither one of you is thinking straight.

- Yes, we are.

There's more to it than that.

- So, tell me.

- We haven't figured it out yet.

- We're still trying to put it all together.

- Just pretend you were never here.

- You can't ask me to do that.

I'm here. I see the baby.

I have to follow protocol.

- Follow your gut. Follow your heart.

- He is a handsome little troublemaker.

- And he stinks.

- He needs to be changed...Again.

- I'd change him

but I'm not here, remember?

- Hey Cassie, thank you.

- Your best friend is giving you twenty-four hours.

After that we're calling Social Services.

Together.

- That's not much time to find mommy and daddy.

- Good work, John. I'll see you tomorrow.

- Alright Chief.

[knocks]

- Am I disturbing you counselor?

- No. No, not at all.

- Working late again?

- I'm tryin' to play catch up.

- I just had a conversation with Jackson Chandler.

- Was it fruitful?

- I've seen more response form roadkill.

That guy is one pompous iceberg.

- A very rich and pompous iceberg.

Any news on the suspect?

- Nothing substantial.

We've had a few sightings.

They've all turned out to be dead ends.

- And he's definitely dragging around

wife and child with him?

- As far as we know.

Good night counselor.

- Chief! How old is Johnny Nelson's child?

- Four or five months.

- Is it a girl?

- It's a boy. Why the interest?

- Just wondering. Have a nice night.

- Good night.

- Sam.

- Oh, come on

it's just a little bit further.

- How we get in?

- I know where they hid the spare key. Come on.

You have an infection. You need to see a doctor.

- No doctors.

I've gotta be somewhere tomorrow

at nine in the morning.

- Here just lay down in here, Ok.

Honey, take off your shirt alright.

I need to change the dressing and clean it out again.

- Ok. Alright.

- Ah.

- So, where do you have to be in the morning?

- A business meeting?

- With the guys who are trying to kill you?

- No, Honey the guy they work for.

Ahhh.

It's Ok. Just wrap it up.

What time do people start showing up around here.

- Around seven in the morning.

- We should be out of here by then.

Just make sure you wake me.

- I will.

- Yeah. Here we are.

We are home. We're home.

[ominous music]

- Oh, what should we do?

Oh, my gosh, I know.

I'm gonna give you a bath.

Take a bath.

Will you take a bath?

[knocking at front door] Ok?

[grunts]

- My money is in my purse.

It's right there on my couch.

- Shut up and listen.

Tell me where Johnny Nelson is?

- I don't know. I wish I did.

- Don't lie to me lady.

- I'm not lying alright...

Why do you want him? - Business.

- I don't... I don't even know him.

Ok. I've never met the guy. Alright!

- That's his baby isn't it?

Slow and easy get the baby.

You're both going for a ride with me.

Do it!

[baby coos]

[grunts]

[action music]

- Javier Ortiz, special agent F.B.I.

Are you alright?

- It's ok.

- Look, let me make something perfectly clear.

I've been investigating this case for quite some time.

So, I'm calling the shots.

- It's my turf, my investigation.

- Somehow the murder links to my investigation,

so, I'm running the show.

And if I have to, I'll bring in more troops.

You just gonna have to watch from the sidelines.

- I'm afraid that agent Ortiz

is well within Federal guidelines, Chief.

- So, do I have your cooperation, Chief Connors?

- Yeah, sure.

- It's always good to feel welcome.

Let's get to it.

- Where's Josh?

- Who?

- The baby.

- I called Social Services.

They're on their way down to get him.

- I wanna to see him.

- I'm sorry, Miss Kinsey,

that's impossible.

- It's not impossible.

I just want a minute with him.

- Ok, let me see what I can do.

- You aren't family, Miss Kinsey.

- I believe you've met Agent Ortiz.

In fact, I heard he saved your life.

- Yes, he did.

- I've been following the deceased for several days.

He was a hard- case, a pro.

You're lucky that you and the baby are alive.

- Yeah, thank you for saving us.

- Miss Kinsey, Agent Ortiz has a few questions he needs to ask you.

- How well do you know Johnny Nelson and his wife?

- I don't know them.

- But you were caring for their son.

- That's a long story.

- Well, I have all night

or you can give me the short version.

- Suzi Nelson knew my uncle.

She came to the bookstore looking for him.

- Her uncle passed away a couple of years ago.

- Go on Miss Kinsey.

- She was in some kind of trouble.

So, I took her and her baby into my home,

I felt sorry for them.

I had no idea at the time that

she was connected to a suspected murderer.

- Is there more?

- Suzi called me yesterday. I was at the bookstore.

She asked me to rush home.

So, I did.

And when I got there, I found the baby

and a note asking me to take care of him until she gets back.

- You expect me to believe

that you did this without even knowing the woman.

- Yeah, I expect you do believe that

because it's the truth.

- Chief Connors. Arrest this woman on the grounds of

aiding and abetting, harboring a material witness

and withholding information from a Federal officer.

- That wouldn't be a good idea.

Sit down Samantha. You're not going to jail.

- Who's this?

- This is Philby. Miss Kinsey's associate.

- Did you know about Miss Kinsey

harboring the wife and child of a suspected killer?

- I changed his diaper once.

- Well then, I guess we'll be arresting you too.

- Before you do,

call that number.

- What are the other four numbers?

Your picks for the lotto?

- You might wanna find a secure line.

- Oh, my cell phone is a secure line.

No taps, absolutely anonymous.

Bureau issued.

- Good evening Agent Ortiz.

Are you enjoying the weather in Walden, California?

- Who is this?

- You called me.

Someone gave you this telephone number

and four other numbers. What are they?

- Is this some kind of joke?

- What are the other numbers.

- 7-5-7-27.

- Ahh. Philby.

- Excuse me?

- The man who gave you this telephone number,

was simply referred to him as Philby.

Level six. O.S.D.

- You're kidding.

- I do not kid, Agent Ortiz.

And you will not interfere with him in any fashion.

You were raised in Arizona,

you know how hot the summers can get there.

- You could be reassigned to the Southern border in July.

Do I make myself clear?

- Yes Sir. Very clear.

- Good.

- My apologies, Sir.

- Accepted.

I'd like to make a suggestion.

- Yes, Sir? - Tell Miss Kinsey, she can go.

- By all means.

I apologize for any inconvenience Miss Kinsey.

You...You're free to go.

- I apologies again, Sir.

- You're not a child anymore.

You're a grown man.

- I'm sick and tired of cleaning up after your irresponsibility.

- I don't know what happened.

- You should know what happened.

You were working on these reports with Ferrone.

There are huge chunks of data in here that are missing and vague.

Now in business all access to all questions must be

clear and precise.

In the event that inquiries are made into our business practices.

- I don't know what you're so worried.

There are no inquires.

- I'm very concerned that there could be.

- If you're so 'concerned' why don't you handle it yourself?

- Because it's not my job.

I pay people to do that and you're one of those people.

Now with Ferrone gone

I expect you to straighten this out.

- This is Mrs. Jones, with Child Services.

She's allowing you to see him for a last minute.

- I realize how quickly an attachment can be formed.

I've been there many times myself.

- Come here. Hey. Don't you worry ok.

We're gonna get your momma and daddy home real soon.

Ok. Hey.

- It's late. We really should be going.

Oh, have no fear, Miss Kinsey.

I promise you that I will take very good care of this little guy myself.

Right here in Walden

and you may see him any time you like.

- Thank you.

- Be a good boy ok.

I'll see you soon.

It's gonna be ok.

Good boy. - Good night.

- Good night. Bye Josh.

- So, it seems that Agent Ortiz was investigating

Chandler Enterprises.

- Insider trading, stock manipulation.

- Yes, how did you know?

- Don't ask.

- Ferrone, the murder victim,

was blowing the whistle on everything.

He was working with Ortiz, in exchange for amnesty.

Ortiz figures someone in the company caught on

and put a hit on him.

- So, they hired a grounds keeper to kill a man?

- Stranger things have happened.

- Well, the suspect was way over his head in debt

and being evicted from his home.

That alone is a solid motive.

- But strictly circumstantial.

- I gotta go see the Chief.

- I'm tired. I wanna go home.

This whole thing smells like a setup.

- I've got the location of Suzi's calls.

- Cell phone number?

- That too. First thing in the morning?

- Yeah.

Hey when you made Ortiz make that phone call.

Who did he call? C.I.A? [Philby starts laughing]

- White House?

Come on, Philby. 'Fess' up now.

- It's my fault. I overslept.

We should have been out of here over an hour ago.

- It gave me quite a start to come in

and find the two of you asleep.

- I'm supposed to get to the bus station.

I gotta go.

- Oh, young man, you're not going anywhere.

You are very ill. You need medical attention.

- Could you please do it, Mrs. Marris.

We can't go to a hospital,

Johnny is in some trouble.

- Alright. I'll get some fresh bandages out of the storage room,

try to clean that wound up a little more

maybe bring the fever down.

Suzi, you get some ice cubes out of the freezer

and wrap them in a washcloth.

- Ok.

It's ok Johnny. It's ok.

- They took off just about the time

two guys came lookin' for them.

- Two guys?

- Yeah, cop types.

- Were they police?

- I didn't see no I.D.

But they sure could've been cops.

- So, the couple left as soon as the two guys showed up?

- That's right. No skin off my nose.

They'd paid up through last night.

I made twenty bucks on the deal.

- Thanks.

[phone rings]

Hello?

Ok. We'll be right there.

- That was Mrs. Marris.

They're at Birchcrest.

- Classes are about to start.

The students are gonna be here any minute.

- Here put your shirt on.

[phone rings]

- It's the lady who has little Josh.

- Answer it.

- Hello.

- Hey Suzi. How's your husband?

- How did you find us?

- That's not important now.

- Is my baby Ok?

- I need to talk to you about that.

Why don't you two come outside.

- She wants us to come outside.

Something about little Josh.

- That could be a trick.

Maybe she brought the police.

- Are you alone?

- No, Philby's with me.

It's just the two of us.

- Where's my baby?

- Suzi, come outside

and we'll talk about it.

- It's just her and a friend.

- What about Josh? - I-I don't know.

She said to come outside and she'll talk to us about it.

- I'll go with you.

- Ok.

Come on. Let's go.

- Johnny, I'm Samantha Kinsey.

This is Philby.

- Hi, Suzi.

- Hi, Philby.

- You brought the police?

- Samantha you lied to me.

- Let's go. That's him John.

- Let's go!

- I got it.

- Johnny Nelson you are under arrest for murder.

Hook him up boys. Read him his rights. - Put your hands...

- He's been shot.

He has an infection.

- He needs medical attention.

- He'll get it.

Call an ambulance.

And while you are at it call agent Ortiz

and let him know I got his man.

- Suzi, I did not call the police.

- I don't believe you.

- She's telling you the truth.

- I called them, Suzi.

I did it for you and your baby

- It's ok.

- How's he doin'?

- The doctor says he'll be alright.

He has an infection

but they're giving him strong antibiotics.

- How are you doin'?

- I'm scared.

- They are not gonna press charges against you.

- Does that mean I get my baby back?

- Not just yet.

- I just-I miss him so much.

- I know you do.

If it's any consolation he's with a very nice woman.

In fact, I'll call her and see if we can go visit Josh.

- After all that we've put you through,

you'd still do that for me?

- I'll do it for me. I miss the little guy too.

- He is very special.

- So, where will you stay through all this?

- I don't really have anywhere,

so probably just right here.

- No, you won't. You'll stay with me.

Just think of it as your home.

- No... - I insist

- Thank you Samantha.

- You're welcome.

- I have something I have to do.

I'll be back later.

- Hey.

Did you convince Ortiz to keep this whole thing quiet?

- No convincing was needed.

I suggested forty- eight fours he agreed.

- Philby, you're the man.

- Did you come up with a plan?

- No, I'm still working on it.

- Ok I'll see ya later.

[Johnny] I didn't kill anyone.

I swear.

- Your fingerprints were on the golf club found at the school.

If it turns out to be the murder weapon

you're in a lot of trouble.

- It is the murder weapon.

It's not my club, of course my fingerprints are on it.

I touched it. There's other prints on it too.

But I didn't kill anyone.

- Okay, you didn't kill anyone.

So, why did you run?

Why is someone after you and your family?

You had to've done something.

- Honey, please. Samantha is trying to help you.

You've got to trust her.

- I did something alright,

a really stupid something

- I was at work, out near the 6th hole.

I'd parked my cart well off the fairway

and I was working.

I heard some loud voices,

sounded like arguing.

- So, I stopped what I was doing and looked up.

There were two guys on the sixth hole.

I couldn't hear what they were saying,

I was too far away.

One of them I'd seen around from time to time,

he was about to putt. The other was 'Old Yellow'.

Suddenly 'Old yellow' smacked the other guy in the head

with a driver, bent down

and took the dead guys wallet out and took off.

- 'Old yellow'?

- Yeah. Yeah, that's what we called him.

He always wore the same shoes.

- Rain or shine, bright yellow shoes.

Like he's saying, 'hey look at me, ain't I something'.

He's rich with an attitude.

Looks down on us poor working slobs.

- Two witnesses saw you at the body.

- I didn't know anyone saw me.

I wanted to see if the guy was alright.

He wasn't. He was dead.

His wallet was still layin' next to him.

No cash in it.

Go figure, a guy like 'old yellow'

with all the money in the world, killing

and robbing a guy for wallet money.

- To make it look like a robbery.

- At that point I was rushing to report it,

maybe catch old yellow and be a hero.

Maybe get a reward or something.

- But you didn't do that.

- This is the stupid part.

Driving back in that work cart,

thoughts were racing through my head.

I mean, a ton of thoughts.

- Suzi, little Josh,

all the money we owed.

I mean the dead guy was dead.

I couldn't help him.

But I could sure help my family's future.

- You were blackmailing the killer!

- I told you it was stupid.

- How did you get the club?

- That was the easiest part of all.

I didn't have to worry about being seen,

'cause 'old yellow' didn't know I was following him.

I saw him leave his cart and just stroll into the club house.

He stopped to speak to a man, then right on in.

Cool as ice. So, I

drove right up to his cart.

All the clubs except one had the covers on them.

It was the driver he killed the guy with.

He tried to wipe it clean, but there was still some blood on it.

- Samantha, what can we do?

- Ok. The first thing you is 'play sick'.

They won't question you until

they think you're healthy enough.

- If I tell them about the blackmail scheme

I'll go to prison for a long time.

- Oh no, that would be awful

for me and little Josh.

- Our priority right now is to prove

you didn't commit murder.

We'll worry about the blackmail part later.

- I've been wrong about everything.

- Well you were right about one thing.

- Really?

- Yeah, blackmail is really stupid.

So, does 'Old Yellow' have a name?

[Samantha] They're just so scared, especially Suzi.

- You really wanna believe this guy, don't you?

- There's a certain honesty in his stupidity.

He's so naive.

- Are you allowing the fact that

he's the father of little Josh to cloud your judgment?

- No. Suzi and Johnny are no 'Bonnie and Claude'.

- I get what you mean.

But all the evidence points to him.

- So, did you get an I. D. on the guy Ortiz shoot?

- I'm not allowed to discuss any of it with anyone.

For some strange reason Special Agent Ortiz has put a lid on

this whole mess for the next forty- eight fours.

- And?

- When an agent of the Federal Government

tells me to do something I do it.

- And?

- And the man who tried to kidnap you and the baby was

David T. Rawlins. Head of security for Chandler Enterprises.

- See now, don't you feel better?

- No, I feel like I'm gonna be audited by the I.R.S.

for the next twenty years. Sam, why are you getting involved?

- Thanks, Cassie.

- You know something, don't you?

You're withholding evidence? Sam!

- I am sorry Cassie.

But I can't discuss the case

for at least forty-eight hours.

Federal gag order.

- Are you sure you wouldn't care for something?

- I'm fine thanks.

- So, Miss Kinsey, you write mysteries

as well as sell them?

- It's more of a recreational kind of writing.

- Had anything published?

- Not yet. Maybe soon.

- Well when you do, please let me know.

I would enjoy reading your first work.

- I will. Thank you.

- Why this a keen interest in the untimely death of Stan Ferrone?

- I love a good mystery.

- There's no mystery here.

Police already have a suspect, grounds keeper.

- Do you know him?

- Eh, Nelson, is it?

- You play golf?

- From time to time.

- So...What...color are your golf shoes?

- That's an odd question.

- Is there an odd answer?

- I have a whole assortment of shoes and colors.

- A favorite pair?

- My lucky ones.

- What color are they?

- If I told you that

they wouldn't be lucky anymore, would they?

I'm a firm believer in luck.

Both good and bad.

- Well perhaps your son is partial to

yellow golf shoes.

- I couldn't say. That would have to be a question for him.

Is there any point to these questions?

about the color of golf shoes?

- Someone who saw the murder said that the killer

was wearing yellow golf shoes.

- Are you trying to say that either

my son or I killed Stan Ferrone?

- I'm just talking the about the color of golf shoes.

- Evan is a lot of things but...he's not a killer.

- Well that remains to be seen now, doesn't it?

- Your inquiry here goes beyond writing a mystery novel.

- I'm representing the interest of Johnny Nelson.

- A friend?

- He's more like a partner.

He's shared certain information with me.

Information that may prove to be profitable.

- I believe, our conversation is finished.

- Oh, Mr. Chandler?

Are either you or your son missing a club?

Because if you are you should call me.

I can get my hands on it.

- Jackson Chandler is a hard man to read.

- You planted the seed.

Let's see if it sprouts.

- Not releasing the news of Johnny's arrest was a brilliant idea, Philby.

- It buys us time and it fits well into your plan.

- My plan... Am I insane? Is it a good idea?

- I'm the wrong person to ask about sanity.

But, if the plan works, it's a good idea.

- If it doesn't?

[Jackson] Years of work have been compromised.

- Once in my life I did something to help you.

- You lashed out in anger and killed a man.

- I don't know what you're so worried about Stan?

- No. This is all getting too heavy.

Sooner or later someone's gonna catch on and

we'll have the FEDS down on us.

- You're in this as deep as anyone.

And you're stayin' in.

- I'm out. Finished.

You're on your own and as soon as I make this putt

you owe me two thousand dollars.

- He was leaving with information that could ruin us.

- There are other ways to deal with these situations.

That grounds keeper goes to the police

he'll come straight to you

which means to us.

- I'll handle it.

- We're now forced to bargain over a golf club

and hope this whole affair goes away forever.

- We could get rid of her.

- Get out of my sight.

- Looks good.

I'll be back in an hour.

- I got us into a real mess, honey.

- You just had your priorities mixed up.

- I may have ruined our lives.

- Don't think about that right now. Ok.

- No, I have to. There may not be another time.

Can you ever forgive me?

- He'll call.

[phone rings]

Aren't you gonna answer it?

- I don't wanna seem anxious.

[phone rings]

Samantha Kinsey.

I'll be there.

It's a go...

tomorrow morning.

- Better get some rest.

- It's such a beautiful day outside.

I thought we might as well conduct our business out here.

- I thought your son might be here.

- You haven't met Evan have you, Miss Kinsey.

My son marches to a different drummer and a different time.

Oh, here he is.

- Evan. Miss Kinsey, my son Evan Chandler.

- Hello.

- Who's the big guy?

- Part of security. Where's the grounds keeper?

- Safe.

- You're a very brave lady.

- How so?

- Coming out here all alone.

- If I don't make a call in thirty minutes.

Johnny Nelson goes straight to the police

and spills his guts.

- Oh, then we'd better get right down to it.

- Give me the club.

- Money first.

- It's all there, Miss Kinsey.

I'm an honest man.

- An honest man who's covering up the murder for his son.

- I'm a very protective father.

- You know, we don't need fathers like you in this world.

- Evan's made a lot of mistakes in his life.

And killing Stan Ferrone was the worst mistake.

I'll have a lot of things to rectify

before a Federal investigation.

But, that's no concern of yours.

- Hopefully we all learn from our mistakes.

- Oh, Evan will learn from this mistake.

- It's costly.

- Blackmail is an ugly business

for a pretty young woman like you to be in.

- Are you just gonna let her leave?

- You better make that call to your grounds keeper.

- There's time.

- Ben!

- Make that call, Miss Kinsey.

Or Ben here's gonna have to walk you over to the shooting range.

You'd be very easy to dispose of.

- So, I see not even you are above murder.

Mr. Jackson Chandler.

- This isn't my club.

- What kind of a scam are you running here anyway?

- Philby.

[car pulling up fast]

[siren blast]

- Police. Drop the weapon! - Let me see your hands!

- Drop the weapon. - Drop it!

- Put it down! - Hold it.

- Back up. Put your hands on top of your head.

- Stay where you are.

- Get his gun Ortiz.

- Stay right there.

- Get him outta here Van.

- Come on. Move.

- Good job snoopy.

[clears throat]

- Did you hear everything.

- Everything. That was a very good plan.

You nailed the killer and got Jackson Chandler

to incriminate himself to the Feds.

- Let's go home.

Nifty little wire you got there Philby.

- Chief Connors you're making a serious mistake.

- And you are under arrest.

You have the right to remain silent.

You all have the right to remain silent.

- Anything you say can and will be used against you

in the court of law.

You have the right to have an attorney present during questioning.

- Thanks for bailing me out, Miss Kinsey.

You don't have to worry I won't run.

I'll be here for the trial.

- There's no need to run.

My source tells me that both the D.A.'s office and agent Ortiz

are petitioning the judge to give you a suspended sentence.

- There might be a probationary period.

- But no jail time?

- Not one day.

- Thank you, Philby.

- Thank Samantha,

she's the woman.

- Thank you Samantha.

- Of course.

- To prove credibility you will need to get a job.

- He's got one.

- I do? - Well you will if you accept the offer.

Landscaping is a lost art. Suzi tells me that you're an expert.

This old school could use some pruning.

- I accept.

- You haven't asked about the money.

- I don't care how much it pays.

What's important to me is my family.

- Speaking of family, there's the rest of yours.

- It's little Josh.

- Don't you want to say goodbye to your little buddy?

- Heck, yes.

- Not without me you don't.

- Yeah, hello [baby coos]
