Angels Fall Page #7

at the ranch helping out a colicky mare.

Was he? No.

Ruben passed by not 15 minutes ago

asking me how I liked the movie last night.

The movie Lo supposedly took me to.

He said he loved me

and now he's out catting around.

- I saw him in Jackson Hole.

- With who?

No one.

- He was alone?

- Yeah.

- Alone alone?

- I only saw him for a second.

It must be part of the surprise.

Lo said he had a surprise for me

and not to tell anyone.

Don't go.

What are you talking about?

Of course I'm gonna go.

When you, when...

When you get there, could you just call me

when you get wherever

and Lo tells you the surprise?

Just call me.

- What's wrong with you?

- I'm worried. That's all.

You're worried? About Lo? Why?

Just... Please just call me, Linda-Gail.

All right.

Forecasters say this early winter storm

will drop temperatures into the 20s

and produce an average of six to 10 inches

of snow across the state.

With the 18 to 22 inches expected

to come down in the local mountains...

Hello?

You got my message?

Listen, I know this is going to sound crazy,

but today at Jackson Hole with Reece...

Where? Okay, sure.

Joanie?

I was really a b*tch the other day.

I had no right to insult you or Lo,

and I just jumped on you and Brody

because you're the closest,

and I'm so, so sorry.

I can take almost anything.

But I will never hear you

talk about Lo like that again.

Unless things don't go so well

with Linda-Gail.

Then whatever you thought about Lo

will be nothing to the pounding I give him

for breaking that girl's heart.

I'll tell you one thing.

I hope they get their feelings all sorted.

'Cause this whole "Everything's sunshine,

roses and moonbeams"

is not working for me.

Linda-Gail and Lo, you and Brody.

What did you say?

- You and Brody.

- No, no, no.

"Sunshine and moonbeams."

God, I'm so stupid.

I gotta go.

Has this got anything to do with Lo?

'Cause if you're still suspecting him...

Lo?

You gotta promise me

you're not gonna scream.

Do you promise?

Oh, my God.

Is this why you were in Jackson yesterday?

Buying all these flowers?

How did you know that I was in Jackson?

No, that's not why.

This is why.

Linda-Gail, I'm sick and tired

of lurking outside of that restaurant,

watching you close the place

just so I can feel close to you.

I'm done wasting my time on wild women.

I love you.

I really do, I love you.

And I'm willing to work hard

for the rest of my life to make you happy.

- If you'll have me, I will.

- Yes.

- Yeah?

- Yes, a million times, yes, yes!

- Reece.

- I knew it.

That necklace.

- What?

- You're his sunshine. I heard him say it.

He said you are the sunshine in his life.

Brody?

Where's Brody?

- What happened?

- His head ran into the back of a shovel.

When he comes to,

we're all gonna take a hike.

- We're not going anywhere.

- Oh, sure, you are.

You see, it's part of your plan.

Part of the murder-suicide pact you made

after you snapped.

First you drugged Brody.

Here are your pills.

Then you shot him, shot yourself

with a gun you took from Joanie's desk.

- I already called the state police.

- No, you haven't.

Why did you kill Deena James?

- You just wouldn't let it go, would you?

- Was she blackmailing you?

- Or threatening you?

- It was supposed to be sex.

Just one night.

Things a man can't do with his wife.

Something about her got to me.

The dark and the light.

Asking, demanding money.

I...

The river, you were trying to let her go.

- Yeah.

- I saw that. She wouldn't listen.

She wanted me to leave my wife.

- Leave your wife!

- It's over.

It's not over!

When I said I wouldn't, she came at me.

I snapped.

Then I buried her.

I had to cover my tracks.

I sent a letter to her super.

If Deena was buried, then who was

the woman the kids found in the woods?

A 43-year-old burnout from Seattle.

Almost matched the description

of your victim perfectly.

Except she wasn't beaten.

Anybody else would have barely even

looked at those forensic photographs.

You. You had to look for details.

Why couldn't you just leave?

- That's all I wanted.

- You didn't have a choice.

Damn right, I didn't have a choice.

Deena pushed you. I...

You were trying to protect yourself

and your family...

You're right. Protecting my family.

I'm on your side. Brody and me, we'll leave.

We'll leave tonight.

I wish you could.

Run, Reece! Run!

Get up.

Go!

You can't hide, Reece!

This is my land!

My turf!

I can track you

just as easy as walking down Main Street.

Is this what you want?

Blow his head off

while you're out there hiding and watching?

Huh?

Now, wait a minute.

That scenario sounds familiar, doesn't it?

It's already happened to you once

in Boston, right?

Reece!

Get up.

Get up!

I'm gonna do you a favor.

I'm gonna shoot you first.

That way you won't have to live through

seeing another person die.

This is over, Reece.

Reece!

Shoot me.

My life's over anyway.

It won't be that easy.

You fought back, Reece.

You fought back.
