Hell Hath No Fury

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

In all my years in all my life, I

have heard many tales of love and lust and death.

Some I believe to be false, some I believe to be true.

But there is one story so unbelievable, so remarkable

that to keep it to myself would feel as though a crime.

Though the details of the story's origins are sparse.

No writer of sound mind could have

written such a tale of deception and cruelty

without the guiding hand of reality itself.

Whether you choose to believe what you hear to be true

is between you and your God.

But I tell it to you now, just as it was told to me.

Ain't no way around it, Stanwyck.

You fucked up.

Bank robbery, hostages... We got two dead,

two more in the hospital.

One of them, one of our own, on life support.

And you send flowers.

Jesus Christ, Stanwyck.

We are the Westburn County Police Department.

I don't know about to you, but to me, that means something,

goddamn it.

And if you don't...

Marlene?

Yes, Chief.

Send some flowers to the Palmers, will you?

Got it.

Anything else?

No, that's all for now.

Thank you, dear.

Lives are at stake, Stanwyck.

And not just your life, but the lives

of the citizens of Westburn County,

the lives of your brothers and sisters in blue.

When the heat is on, they need to know

that you've got their back.

Hell, I need to know that you've got their back.

You see that?

Protect and Serve.

As a Westburn County police officer,

that is the goddamn job.

When the heat is on, it's up to you.

You have got to take the shot.

You hear me, Stanwyck?

You have got to take the shot.

Hello, Thomas.

Hello, Thomas.

Hello, Thomas.

Hello, Thomas.

We should do it tonight.

Yes, please.

Not that.

The other thing.

Oh.

That.

It's time.

It's really time.

This is the moment you've been waiting for, Thomas.

Your chance to rescue me.

Yeah.

Well, if we do it, then how do we...

Do we do it?

I've got it all worked out.

I'll leave the solarium door open.

The solar... solar...

The back door.

Oh.

And when he's distracted, you can sneak in and...

You know.

Then we run away.

And then we run away.

It's that easy.

Please, Thomas.

There's no one else I can trust.

Are we sure that...

I mean, we could just go now.

We could just leave.

We don't have to...

You know.

I just want to be absolutely sure that this

is what we want to do.

Today's the day.

Howdy, neighbor.

So I was driving down the street the other night,

and I saw this tacky light display,

right next to Jerry's place.

Speaking of, did you hear about Jerry?

Jerry?

Oh, you know Jerry, with the buck tooth

and the bushy eyebrows.

He works at the car dealership.

He goes on and on about his stamp collection.

He wears clothes three sizes too big.

You know, Jerry, down the street a couple of blocks.

Right, dear?

Yeah.

Yeah, Jerry, just down the street.

Oh, OK.

Anyway, you know his wife Jean.

The two of them got into an argument.

That's right.

And I heard that...

Are we holding you up, dear?

Oh, no, no, no, no.

My husband is coming back tonight,

but not for a couple of hours, at least.

How is old Silas these days.

Oh, Silas?

He's great.

Yeah, just great.

That's great.

Taking good care of you, we assume?

Of course, yeah.

He's such a loving and caring husband.

I'm so lucky to have him in my life.

We don't mean to pry, but...

Sometimes we hear things.

Hear things?

Yelling.

Yelling?

Lots of yelling.

Oh!

I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about.

Does Silas have a bit of a temper?

Oh, no, no, no, no.

No, no, no.

Everything's wonderful.

We're a match made in heaven.

You know, we're right next door if you ever need anythi.

Is that him?

Oh, it can't be.

I think it's him.

It's him?

Honey, I'm home.

And we have guests.

How wonderful?

Sweetie, you're home early.

Oh, my dear, Priscilla.

How I've missed you so much.

Every moment without you has felt like an eternity.

I couldn't bear to live without you any longer.

Oh, I'm so happy.

Hello, Silas.

Andy.

Theo.

I trust I'm not interrupting anything important.

Not at all.

Perhaps, we should get going, dear.

Of course.

Oh, shoot.

I forgot to bring it with us.

What?

That silly postman delivered some of your mail to us again.

We'll just drop it off later if that's OK.

Of course.

Have a wonderful night.

Thank you so much.

Oh, and happy holida...

Hello, Darling.

You're early.

I haven't made dinner yet.

Oh, don't worry about all that.

I'll take you out.

Oh, but with you having been gone so long,

I just want to do something special for you.

How did I get so lucky?

You must be so tired.

Why don't you watch some TV while I get dinner started?

A splendid idea.

Here, I'll take this.

Thank you, dear.

He's back early.

Be here in 20 minutes.

Hello, Darling.

Goodness.

Scared me half to death.

What's all this?

Oh, nothing.

I just missed you.

That's all.

OK.

OK.

I need to get dinner going.

Here.

I'll let you know when everything's ready.

You treat me so well.

Looking for the house, and he wanted to buy it, mayb.

And then he told me about his book about his...

Honey, your phone's ringing.

Honey, your phone.

Yes, I know, got it.

Thanks.

OK.

Hello.

Hey, it's me, Tom.

Hey, I don't know about this.

It's too late for that, Thomas.

I don't know what's going on, but he's been acting strange

ever since he got home.
