A Woman Deceived Page #5

Man, I can't believe

you caught your first fish.

Yeah.

'I know but

why would the detective'

'come all the way to Sonoma?'

'they don't just open two year

old investigations for nothing.'

'you're acting paranoid.'

what if something had happened,

what if-what if

bill was murdered

I can't just igno...

'oh, Elizabeth.'

it's Travis. I gotta go.

Hey, babe, um..

I've been trying

to reach you, where are you?

Sorry, there's no

reception up there.

Everything okay?

Yeah. I just, um,

I just miss you. That's all.

- 'Mom, I caught a fish.'

- That's great, babe.

'He caught it all by himself.'

good. Are you on the way back?

Well, we're going to stop

and grab a bite to eat.

- 'No.'

- No?

I-I just want you to come home.

Travis was going to take me

for a burger and a shake.

'Can you tell Travis

that I really want you guys'

to come back,

I wanna cook supper and..

'Sure, babe.

We'll be home in an hour.'

okay, be safe.

I-i love you, both.

Okay. See ya.

'Alright, buddy.'

okay.

Come on, kid.

You wanna help me out?

- Yeah.

- Alright. Hop out.

You need to get the stuff, okay. Come on.

- Okay.

- Alright. Ugh!

'Wee! Oh.'

- 'I stepped on the net. Okay..'

- Alright. Here we go.

Take that, hand me those.

Here.

Now, give me

your prized possession.

- Alright. Perfect.

- Aah!

Good job. Okay. Come on.

- Wee!

- Whoo!

- Whoa! Okay.

- Alright.

- What do you wanna take?

- Um..

- Do you wanna take that?

- The fish?

Yeah. You know what,

you take that, take this.

- Okay. Okay.

- Let's go.

Alright.

Alright. Come on, buddy.

Okay.

Mom! We're home.

Liz! Where are you?

Hey, you're here. Hi.

Hey, babe.

Oh.

Hey, how was it?

I caught a fish.

- This is its fin.

- Yeah?

Uh, that's beautiful.

That is.. It's..

You're alright, Liz?

Yeah. I'm just, um..

Just a little tired, that's all.

Mm. Well, smells great.

Can't wait for dinner.

Um, you know, uh,

you've had really long day.

Why-why don't you

go get cleaned up.

And, Tyler,

you can help me set the table.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

'Okay.'

come on.

Travis says that we can make

a fishing pond on the ranch.

Could we do that, mom?

I really like fishing.

Yeah. It sounds like

a good idea.

So you guys had fun today?

Yeah, Travis taught me

lots of cool stuff.

'He taught me

how to make a lure'

'and then how

to put it on the hook.'

'and then he taught me

all of the parts'

'of the fishing rod.'

are you okay?

Yeah. Um... Sure.

I think, I..

You guys go get ready for bed

and I'll, um, I'll clean up.

We're not done, mom.

Tyler,

I said go get ready for bed.

Half his food is still

on his plate.

He's my son.

I said dinner's over.

Okay, Liz. Dinner's over.

'Okay, I'll go brush my teeth

and put my PJS on.'

you know,

we had a great day today.

He's really connecting with me.

Please don't ruin it.

I'm sorry, I just, um..

I had some bad news... Today.

And I'm just

trying to digest it.

What bad news?

A friend from high school

passed away.

I'm sorry.

Why didn't you let me know?

I should've told you

since you walked in.

It is my fault. Just..

Go get ready for bed.

Okay, I-i... I wanna clean up.

A-a-are you sure, you're okay?

- Definitely.

- I don't know.

I'll see you up there.

I'm sorry about your friend.

There's just..

Been so much loss lately.

Like, you know, honey, I never..

Asked about

what happened to your ex-wife.

Well, she was driving

on a windy... Mountain road.

And evidently..

Her brakes went out and she..

Went off a cliff.

It's terrible. I'm so sorry.

Then?

Yeah, I got one of those calls,

late one night.

Uh, never wanna get

one of those calls again.

Hey, if I'd know what happened..

Like I said it was an accident.

Did she, um..

Have any enemies or anything?

No. No.

She was the sweetest girl.

She never hurt a fly.

I don't know, it was just a,

a tragic accident.

That, that's it.

But I don't wanna talk

about this stuff anymore.

We have each other

and that all it matters, right?

That's right.

Let's get some sleep.

Okay. Goodnight.

Goodnight. Love you.

I love you too.

- Babe.

- Um.

- Baby, come.

- Why?

Come on. Ugh!

Shh. Keep sleeping.

Shh. Shh. Shh.

Shh. Shh. Shh. Shh.

Shh. Shh. Shh.

Shh.

Going somewhere?

Uh, yeah, yeah, I'm just, um..

I'm gonna go to my sister's.

And why would you do that?

Because I'm sad about my friend

and I, and I just, um..

She, she told me to come over,

something to talk.

With Tyler?

Yeah. Yeah, with Tyler.

Why did you ask me

about my first wife?

What? Oh. What does that...

I just wanna know

why you brought it up?

Who you've been talking to?

Nobody. Nobody, I, I don..

I don't know

what you're talking about.

Where'd you get this?

Detective... Came here

while you were fishing.

And what did he tell you?

He said that,

um, you may have had..

Something to do..

With bill's death.

And why would he think that?

Maybe, um, maybe the money..

I don't need your money.

I've been poor before,

I can be poor again.

Hey, it's my fault.

Okay, I, I, I think that, um,

the detective just scared me

just made me feel

a little... Paranoid.

And, uh, I, I think

we should just go inside

and forget all about this.

Okay?

I'm sorry.

Let's go for a drive.

Babe, please, let's take Tyler

and let's just, let's just...

Let's go... For a drive.

I need to think.

You look nervous.

You're scaring me.

'I'm your husband.

You don't need to be nervous.'

I've just never

seen you like this.

You're doing good.

Just keep driving.

I... I get your point. Okay?

I'm sorry. I, I..

Let's just turn back. Okay?

I want you to pull

into the next turn-out.

Why?

There's nothing out there.

It's just

the top of the mountain.

Pull into the next turn-out.

Okay.

Get out.

'Get out of the car.'

give me the keys.

- What?

- Give me the keys.

You're not acting

like the man that I married

y-you're acting

very strange, Travis.

You accused me of killing bill,

why wouldn't I act strange?

I didn't accuse you.

The detective accused you.

I, I wasn't even

gonna bring it up.

Oh, but you were going

to take Tyler

and leave in the middle

of the night?

Yeah, I told you,

I, I was sad about my friend.

I just wanna take out

to my sister's. That's it.

Will you stop lying to me!

I'm not lying.

I'm not... I'm not lying to..

- I think it's time.

- It's time, time for what?

Time for you to know the truth.

The truth about what?

About me.

There's no turning back now.

I don't care about your past.

I, I don't, okay.

I, I just wanna go home.

Let's go get back in bed. Okay.

I'm.. I love you and I'm sorry.

I'm sorry about all this, okay?

Let's just go home. Okay?

You know, sadly, Liz..

I don't love you.

Any guy could really go

for someone like you.

I see your type.

Coming up in their limousines

and their-their fancy cars.

Diamond earrings

and expensive watches

looking down your noses

at the rest of us.

But I, I'm not like that.

You, you know it,

I, I'm not like that.
