Angels Fall Page #6

we should really use some fresh dill.

Customers don't give a rat's ass

about fresh dill.

Well, they should. And you should.

No, we're in the make-do business.

Not make-better, make-do.

Oh, I'm tired of settling for less.

What is stuck in your craw?

Joanie, why would Lo be taking stuff

out of a cabin near the lake?

- You mean one of my cabins?

- Yeah.

Getting ready for hunting season,

he does it every year.

Oh. Well, have you ever met

the married woman he had an affair with?

- What?

- Have you?

Once.

- What happened to her?

- Get out of my kitchen.

- I'm sorry. I...

- Not my son.

You cannot place

your imaginary murder on my son.

Get back to work.

- You having a party?

- Yep, I am. Care to join me?

- What the occasion?

- I quit.

Oh, why?

You know what your problem is? This.

Just one chair.

You actually live your life

hoping that no one will ever show up.

Well, you're in a fine mood.

Yeah, well, if I left, the only thing

you'd miss is a decent, hot meal.

At least there's something.

Screw you.

- Where are you going?

- I don't know.

Come on.

This is my mother's recipe.

It's kind of famous.

You open a can, you heat it,

then you pour it in a bowl.

Thank you.

- I'm so sorry.

- Shut up and eat.

Brody, it's time for me to move on.

I've overstayed my welcome.

- On many levels.

- Where would you go?

- I don't know.

- Good plan.

I have feelings for you,

and everything's great right now,

but I'm worried that it won't be enough

in the long run.

- Well, I can't promise more.

- More?

Oh, my gosh, I would be happy

if I could just leave my toothbrush

and not feel guilty about it.

- You can leave your toothbrush.

- I'm not talking about my toothbrush.

Well, why did you

bring up your toothbrush?

I don't... Listen.

After the murder or because of...

Because of the murder and my past,

I think you're like protector guy,

you know, like a hero

from one of your books, and I...

You want me to stay

because I have no place to go.

You want me to stay

so you can take care of me.

I want to stay because you need me.

Forget it.

- No, no, no, no. It's okay.

- Stay.

Stay.

I made a list of possible suspects.

- Lo and Debbie Marsden?

- Yeah.

I just... I put her there

'cause I don't really like her.

Well, you can take Lo off the list, too.

Lo had an affair with a married woman

and it ended badly.

- Doesn't make him a killer.

- What about the hat?

- Everyone in town has that hat.

- Okay.

After the killing, he wasn't as nice to me.

Okay, I'll chalk that one up

to being the town loony.

But there's still the fact that I saw Lo

cleaning out one of Joanie's cabins.

And even Rick said it. You know, the killer

might have put the woman somewhere.

Maybe Lo took her there

and then cleaned up all the evidence.

Okay, what if it was Miss Scarlet

in the library with the candlestick?

It's not Lo.

- How do you know?

- I know Lo.

"I know Lo."

Reece?

- Reece.

- He's out there.

Who?

- Reece.

- He's out there.

Give me the knife. Give me the knife.

Get inside. Lock the door. Lock the door.

Reece, open up. It's okay.

He's gone. It's okay. I called the sheriff.

- He must have been watching the house.

- What "he"?

There's no evidence he was in the cabin

or anywhere near the cabin.

- You didn't see him, I didn't see him.

- But Reece saw him.

And you're sleeping with her,

so you gotta believe her.

To me, she's just a woman

with an emotional disorder

who claims she's seen the same man

she saw kill some unknown woman

only she's seen.

Look, do us all a favor, Brody,

talk her into getting some help.

- I thought better of you, Rick.

- I thought better of you, Brody.

You know, I'm tired of answering

every time Reece Gilmore cries wolf.

Now you call me when there's a real crime.

I've got better things to do.

- Rick's not gonna be much help.

- I don't care. Get your coat on.

- Why?

- We're spending the night in Jackson.

Someone named Marlie called.

She knows the girl in the sketch.

We'll hook up with her

first thing in the morning.

I called you right away.

The minute Serge showed me your drawing,

I knew it was her.

Deena James. She used to live

in the apartment above me.

Used to?

Left town right before

I started working here.

Wrote a letter to the super,

told him to sell all her stuff, she was gone.

- How come?

- We weren't exactly friends.

- She was a stripper.

- Stripper.

Yeah, you know,

takes clothes off for a living.

Not the sort of person I want around my kid.

Sure.

Then she got a guy she called "Trout."

Get it? Her fish on the line.

- Did you ever see him?

- Not him or his car.

He bought her stuff, though.

Deena used to go around

showing off this necklace he gave her.

She said it was mother of pearl

and diamonds.

Looked like a little half-circle

surrounded by rhinestones to me.

Was supposed to be the moon.

Trout called Deena

his dark side of the moon.

- Well, whatever happened to the Trout?

- I have no idea.

Must have dropped her, I guess.

Never saw him again.

Deena Black is involved with a man

who doesn't want to be seen with her

yet he's in deep enough

to buy her jewelry.

- She didn't love him.

- How do you know that?

"The Trout"?

No woman talks about a man she loves

that way.

He's married. He wants to break it off.

Deena sees a good thing coming to an end

and pushes him.

- He pushes back.

- Pushes until it kills her.

How many jewelry stores

do you think there are in Jackson Hole?

Too many.

...travel advisories will be put into effect

in the mountains and passes

and the state transportation

and safety crews will be upgraded

to working in 24-hour shifts...

Good afternoon.

Is there something I might show you?

Well, I certainly hope so.

We've been to five other stores.

A friend of mine had a necklace

and I'm trying to find the same one.

It's a moon pendant

with mother of pearl and diamonds.

Well, it could have been

part of our Universe of Gems series.

We had several pieces designed last year

with moons, stars, suns, planets.

Perhaps if your friend came in

with the necklace?

Her name is Deena James. She's missing.

And the necklace is all we have on her.

- Are you with the police?

- No.

Well, in that case, I'm afraid I can't give you

any more information.

- Is that Lo?

- Where?

Why would he be in Jackson Hole

on the same day we are?

- Well, a lot of people come to Jackson.

- No, he was following us.

Okay, finally I'm going to say it.

You're crazy.

If Lo didn't do it, who else did?

Look, older men fall for women like Deena,

not punks like Lo.

I'm gonna talk to Rick, see if he can

pull some strings with the Jackson police.

But until then you need to cool your jets.

- Why?

- Because if it is Lo,

things could get dicey

if he knows how close we are.

Hey.

- Hey.

- I hate men.

They're all lying, cheating dogs,

and Lo is the biggest liar-cheater

of them all.

Last night, he told me he had to stay
