"I WANT YOU TO TAKE OUT YOUR LIST OF SUSPECTS

"AND LOOK AT THE NAMES.

"I'LL GIVE YOU A MOMENT.

"OKAY.

"THE NAMES ARE...

"BRET STILES...

"GALE BERTRAM...

"RAYMOND HAFFNER...

"REEDE SMITH...

"BOB KIRKLAND...

"SHERIFF THOMAS McALLISTER...

"BRETT PARTRIDGE.

"THERE.

"I'M GOING TO START KILLING AGAIN. OFTEN.

"UNTIL YOU CATCH ME...

OR I CATCH YOU."

HOW DID HE DO THAT?HUH?

THAT TAPE WAS MADE TWO MONTHS AGO.

RED JOHN KNEW THE NAMES ON THE LIST OF SUSPECTS

BEFORE YOU DID.

I MEAN, HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?

EH, IT'S A TRICK.

A TRICK HOW?

I DON'T KNOW.

LISBON.

CHIEF.

I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.

THAT WAS BERTRAM. WE HAVE A CASE.

HUH?

WE HAVE A CASE.

NOW?

UH, I DON'T WANT TO WORK RIGHT NOW, LISBON.

I NEED TO THINK.

WE NEED TO CARRY ON AS NORMAL.

WE DON'T WANT TO LOOK FREAKED OUT.

I'M NOT FREAKED OUT.

[indistinct conversations, police radio chatter]

YEAH. HI, GUYS.

HEY, SARGE. GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

NICE TO SEE YOU.

HEY THERE.

HE CAN'T SAY HELLO?

EH, IT'S A TOUGH DAY.

WHAT DO WE GOT?

THE VICTIM'S NAME IS SANDRA HELVIG.

SHE LIVES HER WITH HER FIANCé.

THAT'S CODY BENBOW, THE BASEBALL PLAYER.

SO HE COMES HOME FROM PRACTICE

AND FINDS HER LYING RIGHT HERE.

LOOKS LIKE SHE'S STRANGLED WITH HER OWN SCARF.

THE BACK WINDOW IS BROKEN,

PLUS THERE'S JEWELRY AND CASH MISSING.

WE'RE THINKING THAT SHE CAME HOME AND SURPRISED A BURGLAR.

HEY, CODY, HOW MUCH WAS STOLEN? DOLLAR VALUE?

I DON'T KNOW, SIR.

HER ENGAGEMENT RING ALONE WAS 50 GRAND. UM...

A COUPLE HUNDRED GRAND IN TOTAL.

WHAT'S YOUR BATTING AVERAGE THIS YEAR?

.260.

WHAT ABOUT LAST YEAR?

.312.

OH. WHAT HAPPENED?

YOU CAME HERE TO TALK ABOUT BASEBALL?

YEAH, I'M TRYING TO WORK HERE,

AND YOU'RE STARING AT ME LIKE I HAVE TWO HEADS.

DO I LOOK LIKE I HAVE TWO HEADS?

UH, NO.

NO.

SARGE, WHY DON'T YOU AND I GO OUTSIDE, DO OUR PAPERWORK?

CODY, LOOK AT ME.

I THINK IT WAS YOU THAT KILLED SANDRA.

SIR, YOU ARE FLAT-OUT WRONG.

SHE IS THE LOVE OF MY LIFE. WHY WOULD I KILL HER?

YOU TELL ME.

THERE IS NO REASON IN THE WORLD, SIR.

NO REASON.

OKAY, CODY. FAIR ENOUGH.

I KNOW WHEN A MAN IS TELLING ME THE TRUTH.

DO YOU HAVE ANY GUNS?DO I HAVE ANY GUNS?

YEAH.Y-YEAH, YEAH, I-I DO.

WHERE? WHAT KIND?

A COUPLE OF HANDGUNS OR SO IN THE SAFE.

SHOW ME.WHAT DOES GUNS HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING?

I'M SORRY, BUT SHE WAS STRANGLED.

CAN YOU NOT SEE THAT?

WHO'S IN CHARGE HERE, ME OR YOU?

UM, I JUST WANT TO SEE YOUR GUNS.

I CAN SEARCH THIS PLACE FROM THE ROOF TO THE BASEMENT.

I CAN DIG UP THE GARDEN IF I WANT TO.O-OKAY, ALL RIGHT.

JUST CHILL. I'LL SHOW YOU MY GUNS.

THEY'RE IN THE SAFE. IT'S THAT WAY.

THEY LOADED?

JUST THE NINE.LET ME SEE.

HMM.

WELL, IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT'S BEEN FIRED.

HERE'S THE THING, CODY.

SANDRA WASN'T COMING HOME WHEN SHE WAS KILLED, WAS SHE?

SHE WAS LEAVING.

SHE WAS JUST ABOUT TO WALK OUT THE DOOR

WHEN... YOU GOT HOME.

SHE WAS LEAVING YOU.

NO!

WE'VE NEVER BEEN HAPPIER.

SHE PACKED HER SUITCASES,

LEFT THE ENGAGEMENT RING ON THE TABLE

LIKE YOU WERE NOTHING.

BUT YOU'RE CODY BENBOW, FOR GOD SAKES.

NO ONE CAN TREAT YOU LIKE THAT.

NO.

AND YOU GOT MAD, AND YOU KILLED HER.

THEN YOU HAD TO UNPACK HER SUITCASE,

PUT HER CLOTHES AND HER MAKEUP AWAY.

BUT YOU DID IT POORLY,

LIKE A MAN PUTTING WAY A WOMAN'S THINGS.

ARE YOU SERIOUS? THAT'S YOUR PROOF?

THAT--THAT HER CLOSET'S MESSY?

YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT.

IT'S NOT REALLY MUCH, IS IT? IT'S NOT PROOF.

PROOF WOULD BE FINDING THE JEWELRY AND THE CASH

THAT WAS TAKEN FROM HER.

BUT A SENSIBLE MAN LIKE YOU WOULDN'T ACTUALLY

THROW THAT MONEY AWAY, WOULD THEY?

EVEN IF THEY HAD THE TIME.

A SENSIBLE MAN WOULD HIDE IT SOMEPLACE

THAT NO ONE WOULD THINK TO LOOK.

SOMEPLACE CLOSE, LIKE THE GARDEN.

YOU BURIED IT IN THE GARDEN, DIDN'T YOU?

YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH NOW!

SHUT YOUR MOUTH.

I'LL TAKE THAT AS A YES.

OH, NO!

GUN! HE'S GOT A GUN!

BACK OFF, OR HE'S DEAD.

OKAY, EVERYONE JUST RELAX.

THERE IS NO NEED FOR VIOLENCE.

THE GUN DOESN'T WORK.

I PUT PEANUTS IN THE CHAMBER.

SO JUST COME ON DOWN AND ARREST HIM.

DON'T MOVE!

KEEP YOUR HANDS WHERE WE CAN SEE THEM!

DON'T MOVE!

OFFICER DOWN! SEND ME A MEDEVAC HELICOPTER RIGHT NOW!

OFFICER DOWN, NOW!

GARCIA, SECURE HIS WEAPON.

I'M SORRY.

-Captions by VITAC--

HERE HE COMES.

OH, CRAP.

JUST ACT NATURALLY.

BREATHE.I AM BREATHING.

HAVE YOU GONE MAD?

A-ARE YOU INSANE? I-IT'S A SERIOUS QUESTION.

ARE YOU ASKING HER OR ARE YOU ASKING ME?

'CAUSE SPEAKING FOR MYSELF, THE ANSWER IS NO.

LISBON--SANE, NOT SANE... MNH.

SIR, I FULLY RECOGNIZE THAT I FAILED IN MY DUTY

TO OVERSEE JANE'S BEHAVIOR.

OH, STOP. YOU DID NOTHING WRONG.

AGENT LISBON DID WRONG WHEN SHE FAILED

TO STOP YOU FURNISHING GUNS TO A MAN

WHO USED THOSE GUNS TO MOW DOWN A SAC P.D. OFFICER.

IT WAS A GOOD PLAN THAT WENT AWRY.

I SAID "SORRY." SHE'S NOT RESPONSIBLE.

THAT'S HER JOB.

BEING RESPONSIBLE.

I AM RESPONSIBLE.

WELL, SAC P.D. BRASS WANTS YOUR BLOOD.

SO THE QUESTION IS, SHOULD I SUSPEND THE BOTH OF YOU

FOR A MONTH OR--SIR, THAT IS NOT FAIR.

ALLOW ME TO COMPLETE MY THOUGHT.

SHOULD I SUSPEND YOU,

OR SHOULD I JUST SEND YOU ON AN OUT-OF-TOWN CASE

FAR AWAY FROM THE SAC P.D.?

THE SECOND OPTION.

OH?

I-I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT PREFER SUSPENSION.

IT FREES YOU UP TO FOCUS ON RED JOHN.

I HEAR YOU'RE GETTING CLOSE.

OH, YEAH?

WHERE'D YOU HEAR THAT?

WELL, YOU CAN'T KEEP SECRETS AROUND HERE.

THERE'S A BUZZ ALL AROUND THE BUILDING.

JANE'S GETTING CLOSE, OR THINKS HE IS.

WELL, ARE YOU?

EH, WE HAVE SOME FRESH LEADS.

WE'RE TRYING TO KEEP THEM A LITTLE QUIET.

OH, YEAH. MUM'S THE WORD.

BUT IF YOU DO GET CLOSE, YOU WILL TELL ME FIRST,

'CAUSE I NEED TO BE ON THE BOAT WHEN YOU CATCH THAT FISH.

DO WE UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER?

YES, SIR.

I KNOW THAT SOMETIMES I MUST APPEAR CALCULATING,

EVEN DUPLICITOUS TO YOU,

BUT PLEASE UNDERSTAND

IT--IT COMES WITH THE JOB DESCRIPTION.

I AM MANY THINGS TO MANY PEOPLE.
