A Woman Deceived Page #4

So let's go for a ride.

I have one more surprise.

Yes. Another surprise.

Let's go.

- Hello.

- Hi.

- Barbara, how are you?

- I am doing great.

'I received all the papers

signed from your lawyer today.'

- fantastic.

- Is it ours?

Yes, it's officially all yours.

- Hey!

- Congratulations.

Wait, we have one more surprise.

- Yay.

- Yes, hang on.

- Close your eyes.

- We're gonna put this on you.

- Okay.

- Okay.

- So.. 'Can you see?'

- no.

- 'You sure?'

- yes.

- 'Okay.'

- no peeking.

- You're welcome.

- Enjoy. Bye.

- Thank you. Bye.

Bye.

What is it? What is it?

I can't wait.

We're almost there.

Hang on, hang on. Okay.

- Okay.

- Turn around.

- Okay.

- I'm gonna take this off.

- Okay.

- Are you ready?

- Yeah, I'm ready.

- Here we go.

- A horse?

- Yeah.

'What? You bought me a horse!'

'we sure did.

What do you think?'

you guys are the greatest

parents of all time.

Okay.

What do you wanna name him?

I wanna name him, cowboy.

You wanna name your horse,

cowboy?

- Sure. Why not?

- I think it's sweet.

I like it. I like it.

Okay, cowboy it is.

Can I ride him?

- Hey.

- Hey.

Something wrong?

You're looking very serious.

Nah. I'm okay.

You're sure?

Yeah. N-n-nothing.

You're my husband, you're

supposed to be able to talk

to me about these things.

What's going on?

Okay.

Can I be completely honest

with you?

Please.

Sometimes..

It's hard being your husband.

I don't know what that means.

I don't work,

I don't bring home any money

I don't... Provide anything

for you and Tyler.

I'm sorry, I don't mean to laugh

but... Bill left me

with more money

than I will ever know

what to do with.

Grandchildren will be set

and our grandchildren's

grandchildren will be set.

I-I-i understand all that

but I still feel..

Sort of useless.

Honey... What you give,

Tyler and I

is something money cannot buy.

You give us love.

I mean,

I'm able to breathe again.

It makes me uncomfortable

to ask you for money.

Okay.

I'll open up a bank account.

It'll be yours.

You can get the money out

any time you want.

Sound good?

I don't know.

Uh, I didn't realize

that you were feeling

insecure about it.

Hey, but don't worry

about money.

I'm not.

If I was, I would've

had you sign a pre-nup.

Right? So..

- I guess that's true.

- Okay.

So then,

it's the end of discussion.

You're rich. Deal with it.

Look... Bill worked really hard

to make sure Tyler

and I were happy

and you've made us

the happiest since he's passed.

So let's just enjoy

the fruits of his labor. Okay?

You are amazing.

No, you are amazing.

- Okay?

- Okay.

Okay.

See you later, mom.

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

No hugs and kisses for me?

I mean, what?

- You guys be safe.

- Okay.

- Alright.

- We will.

Uh, eh, be safe in the water.

I will watch him like a hawk.

I'm not talking to him,

I'm talking to you.

Have you seen him swim?

He's like a kangaroo,

treading water.

- What?

- That is funny.

Very funny, you guys.

Alright.

Here. There you go.

- Alright.

- Buckle up, okay?

And wear your life jacket.

Please, okay?

- Don't worry about us.

- Of course, I'll worry.

- Love you.

- Bye-bye. Love you, too.

- Hi, Elizabeth Goodhart?

- Yes.

Hi, I'm detective Morrison

with the

Phoenix police department.

- Phoenix?

- Yes, ma'am.

I-I was the lead detective

in your husband's case

when he, when he passed away.

U-uh, of course.

Detective Morrison,

how-how are you?

I'm sorry

to disturb you like this

but is, uh, Mr. brown here?

Uh, no. No.

He left a few minutes ago.

Can I help you?

Yes, uh, do you mind

if I come in for a moment?

- Sure.

- Thanks.

Uh... So Phoenix.

Why, you come quite a distance?

Must be pretty important.

Well, I assume folks of my

department found some evidence

that might suggest

that your husband's passing

may not have been

entirely an accident.

What kind of evidence?

Well, there was another

detective investigating

a homicide case

just outside of Phoenix

and he got a DNA match

uh, to Mr. brown.

So naturally, we, we reopened

your husband's case.

But why?

Because Mr. brown

was the first person

to find your husband

after he fell off the horse.

Yeah, that's right,

Travis did everything

he could,

he, he did everything right.

Your husband's injuries

aren't entirely consistent

with the type of accident

that he apparently had.

Apparently?

Apparently,

he fell off his horse

and hit his head.

Yes,

and he had two head injuries.

- I guess he hit his head twice.

- Right. That's what we thought.

But the injuries that were

on the top of the skull

were consistent with,

uh ...The speed of the horse

falling off the horse,

hitting a tree

but the injuries on his

frontal lobe but more consistent

with, uh..

Well, with,

with blunt force trauma.

I.. Detective, I'm sorry

I-I don't know

what you're trying to say here.

Uh, we're not ruling out

foul play.

We've reopened the case

as a potential homicide.

And, uh, Mr. brown

is our number one suspect.

No.

That's-that's crazy.

Uh.. U-uh, Travis was there.

He, he helped bill.

He did everything he could to help bill.

I.. We've already been through this.

I've been investigating

this case for a long time.

It wasn't until I found out

about the skull anomalies

that I figured

it was a good idea

to come talk to you in person.

How well do you know Mr. brown?

Please, he's my husband.

Did you know

that he was in the air force?

No. I..

He was a fighter pilot.

He was discharged

from the air force

for insubordination.

That's ridiculous. Okay?

My husband is afraid to fly.

And I promise you, Travis had

nothing to do with bill's death.

So if I'm not a suspect,

I'd like you to leave my house.

Good.

May I suggest you,

don't tell Mr. brown

that I was here.

You call me anytime.

'So how you're doing?'

- 'good.'

- 'Yeah?'

you know,

fishing all about Patience.

Yeah. But I'm a kid.

Kids don't have Patience.

Well, you'll need Patience

when you're my age.

So I guess you need

to start practicing.

It's like a,

it's like a life lesson.

I think I got one.

Okay, hang-hang on.

Just a sec.

Okay, now, remember how I told

you to give it a little tug?

Right now, give it a little tug.

There, there, that's it.

Show that fish who's boss.

Think you have something.

Hey, I think you might have

something there.

Really slow, really slow, slow.

- I do?

- Yeah. Yeah.

You don't wanna lose this guy,

okay? Okay, yeah, there he is.

No, I don't wanna lose..

Th.. Yeah, that's him!

- Okay.

- Oh.

- Alright.

- Yeah.

- Look at that.

- We got him.

We got him, man.

- Good job. Give me five!

- Yeah.

I couldn't have done it

without you, Travis.

Oh, way to go.

Way to go. Okay.

Here, let's bring it

back over here.

Take this baby home

and show mom, okay?

- Alright!

- Alright.

- I'll get the tackle box.

- Okay, can you get it?

Yeah, I got it.

- Alright.

- You're ready?

- Yeah. Let's do it.

- Alright.
