- Can we just get

a phone number?

- Thank you.

Please, can you just respect

the family's need for privacy

At this very very

difficult time?

We'll keep you up to date

if anything new comes along.

Where are we going next?

Uh, we haven't covered

west end below 70th.

We can start again

early in the morning.

Yeah.

( starts engine )

( stops engine )

( sobbing )

It's all right.

Lawyer:

So, david, I want

to get you now

To the year 2000.

Um,

If I could have

some water?

Right away.

Thank you for coming

on such short notice.

Due to new evidence

And a close look

at the case,

I've decided to reopen

the investigation

Into the disappearance

of katherine marks.

Katherine

disappeared in 1982,

Almost 20 years ago

And she remains

a missing person to this day.

Now there are plenty of people

who thought they got away

with crimes

That we're now finding

can be solved

Based on dna

and other forensic evidence.

And I'm sure that

puts a lot of people

on edge right now.

I'll take your questions.

( reporters clamoring )

Lawyer:

Well, what did you

believe was going on?

David:

Well, it was clear to me

that the district attorney

Was reopening

the investigation to further

her political career.

There wasn't anybody

who didn't know about it.

You couldn't walk down

the street, you couldn't walk

past the newspaper stand.

It was just, you know,

Everywhere.

What did you do then?

I...

Intended to fill up my car

With clothing and linen

and go somewhere

And hide

and disguise myself.

It seemed to me

That the problem was

being david marks...

So I just wanted not to be

david marks anymore.

( latin rap music playing )

- ( door opens )

- man:
Hey!

Do you mind?

Can you just hold it

down a little bit?

You know, it's just very

abrasive on my ears.

And you don't have to let

the door slam like that.

You know, I just need

a little consideration.

What?

Lawyer:

So now you're living

in galveston, texas,

And you meet malvern bump

for the first time.

Did you pretend

to be mute?

David:

Uh, yeah.

Yeah well, just be sure

and turn the hall light off

When you're coming and leaving,

'cause it's on my meter.

Do you think malvern

believed you were a mute?

I doubt it.

Do you think

he believed you

were a woman?

Probably not.

Reporter:

this lakeside cottage

Was a weekend retreat

for new york real estate heir

David marks and his

wife katherine, a beautiful

young medical student.

Now according

to westchester county

district attorney janice rizzo,

It is being considered

a possible crime scene.

Earlier today,

in an exhaustive search,

Cadaver dogs uncovered a body.

Unfortunately

for hopeful investigators,

It was just the remains

of a dead dog.

Sources inside

the da's office say

that rizzo's interest

In the case was triggered

by an unpublished manuscript

Written by this woman,

deborah lehrman.

Lehrman's novel apparently

describes a murder,

- The details of which

are strikingly similar...

- ( phone ringing )

...To those surrounding

the disappearance of

katie marks in 1982.

Investigators are also

interested in talking

to david marks,

But at the moment,

no one seems to be able

to find him.

- Reporting live...

- ( ringing continues )

- David's voice:

Leave a message.

- ( beeps )

David, it's deborah.

I can't believe this

is happening again.

I don't know how

people get my number.

First it was this--

It was this reporter

And now a cop's calling

from new york

Every five minutes.

And I want to be there

for you, david, uh, I do,

But, uh--

I have my own problems now.

F***...

I had an accident.

It's nothing serious,

but my car needs--

( sniffs )

it needs some repairs.

As you know,

Life in los angeles

without one is impossible.

- Come on, let's go.

- ( barks )

- And uh...

- Lulu, let's go.

Oh f***!

- Sh*t. Come on.

- I hate myself

for asking, but...

I need more money.

Come on!

- I don't know

if this is record--

- ( beeps )

( phone rings )

- Leave a message.

- ( beeps )

Deborah:

David, why are you

avoiding me?

I've always been

there for you.

I've been a good--

a good friend to you.

- Don't you f***ing--

- ( beeps )

( water running )

Malvern:

Who says I'm bothering 'em?

I pay my rent

like everybody else.

Man:

You've got

I pay you!

I pay good money

for this shithole!

Get away.

I got rights here.

What rights?

You got 30 days

to get out, malvern.

You're lucky I don't

call the cops.

- Malvern:
Where am I gonna go?

- Whatever.

You got

And stop turning off

the goddamn light.

It's on my meter.

( door closes )

Lawyer:

What sort

of relationship

Developed between

you and malvern?

David:

We became

good friends.

( gunshots )

Where the hell did you

learn to shoot like that?

( men laughing )

- The purple heart...

- I swear to god.

...For a sunburn.

- ( snorting )

- and then we spent

the entire war

Shooting coconuts off

the side of the boat.

( coughing )

( spits )

( coughing continues )

Why do you wear

all that sh*t for

anyway?

What?

The girl stuff.

You like

that kind of thing?

No.

I guess...

I just kinda

want to disappear

for a little while.

What about you?

Is that why you came out here?

Yeah.

Me, I--

I disappeared

a long time ago.

( exhales )

Oh.

You know,

I'm not always home

And I know how you like

to watch television.

So...

You seem like someone

I can trust.

You know, I may need you to do

something for me one day.

Thanks.

Lawyer:

In the days

and weeks to come,

Did malvern become

aware that you had

a lot of money?

David:

I mean, he became

aware that I was

Planning

on buying a house.

What effect did you see

that have on malvern?

Uh...

Well, malvern had

a problem.

He was getting evicted

And I guess he thought

I was gonna be the solution.

I can remember looking

at houses together,

And, you know, he was

saying things like,

"well, this would be

a good place for you to buy

Because there'd be room

for me over there."

Yeah, it was

very uncomfortable.

This place might be

good for us, malvern.

( phone rings )

Leave a message.

( beeps )

Deborah:

David, I need to see you.

You need to come out here.

If I don't

hear from you, I--

I'm gonna blow

the lid off things.

You know what

I'm talking about.

( beeps )

- David?

- ( tv playing loudly )

- ( barking )

- I know. David?

David!

You didn't give me time

to clean up.

- Turn that down.

- Tv:
...Benefits eclipse

the 400,000 watermark

- To 411,000 last week...

- Cocksucker.

David, you're gonna

go deaf.

( fly buzzing )

( gunshot )

( phone ringing )

- ( snoring )

- ( rings )

Leave a message.

( beeps )

Malvern:

David, are you there?

Everything

is taken care of.

You told me to call, so...

I'm calling.

I just need

something to eat.

I haven't had anything to eat

and there's no food here.

So I thought, well,

Maybe I'd stop

on the way back and--

( beeps )

( dialing )
