Fun in the sun

When you deem me worthy...

I'd like to know what happened

between you and Eddy.

Oh. I got it.

All right. Uh. A little

to the left. I think.

Yeah. Perfect!

Is that a beautiful tree

or is that a beautiful tree?

- Think this tree is big enough?

- It's huge.

- What are we gonna sing?

- It's beautiful.

Dashing through the snow

in a one-horse open sleigh

O'er the fields we go

Laughing all the way, ha-ha-ha

Bells on bobtails ring

Making spirits bright

What fun it is to ride and

sing a sleighing song tonight

- Richard. Will you please

tell me what happened...

- Jingle bells, Jingle bells

- Between you and Eddy?

- Jingle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to ride in

a one-horse open sleigh, hey

- Is it about Kay?

- Jingle bells, Jingle bells, jingle all the way

- Oh, what fun it is to ride

in a one-horse open sleigh

- Did you sleep with her?

No.

Priscilla. Please.

Don't be jealous.

There's nothing to be jealous of.

I'm not jealous.

God rest ye merry gentlemen

Let nothing you dismay

- Remember Christ our Saviour

was born on Christmas day

- It's just that...

To save us all

from Satan's power

Something went missing

from this marriage...

- Oh, tidings of comfort and joy

Comfort and joy

- And for a while it...

- Oh, tidings of comfort and joy

- Seemed to come back again.

- From God our Heavenly Father

a blessed angel came

- Now...

- And unto certain shepherds

- We never should have taken that money.

Brought tidings to the same

How that in Bethlehem was born

the Son of God by name

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy

Comfort and joy

- We should never have taken that money?

- Oh, tidings of comfort and joy

Now you say something? Now you're

gonna make your moral judgement.

- It's cold tonight. Don't you think?

- Is that what this is all about?

Eddy lacks your moral fibre?

What about gratitude. Richard?

- Whoa!

- Holy cow!

It's out of the park!

- Swing. Whoa!

- Oh!

Come on. Richard. I know I'm...

I'm a tough act to follow.

It's the bat.

It must be the bat.

- It's all right.

- It's the bat.

- It's the bat.

- Go. Go. Go!

- Get her!

- No!

No!

- No!

- Hey. Iook at them.

I would like

to propose a toast.

To neighbours...

and friends.

Heaven

I'm in heaven

And my heart beats so

That I can hardly speak

And I seem to find

The happiness I seek

- You okay?

- Fine.

There's coffee.

Priscilla...

The sports.

I love you.

I love you.

You kids get out of the street.

- What happened?

- You can't go in.

- I'm their best friend.

- You can't go in! Hey!

You! You.

Samples taken from the victim's

body prove you had sex with her

within a half-hour of her death.

Otis claims you had a "obsessive

fixation" on his wife.

And the murder weapon

has your prints on it.

- We played softball that afternoon.

- Yes.

Meanwhile. Otis says that your story

about crossing back and forth...

during the night. Etcetera.

is nonsense.

And says that immediately

after dinner. Around 9.00 p. M...

he departed for Appalachia Lake.

leaving his wife behind.

Now that's a five-hour trip. Luke Watkins

of Watkins Fishing Lodge...

says Otis woke him

at 2.00 a.m. for the keys.

- It's a lie.

- Now the time of death has been

set between 1.00 and 3.00 a.m.

Now if Otis's story is true. The closest

he could have been to his wife...

at the time she was killed was

somewhere in the middle of the

Chattahoochee National Forest.

I'm telling you. It's a lie.

If I were you. I'd consider

some kind of plea.

Otherwise. Unless

we can break Eddy's alibi...

you could be in deep. Deep sh*t.

Kneel down.

Hands behind your head. Please.

Okay.

Are they treating you okay?

Don't worry about me.

How's Lori?

What do I tell her?

Tell her the truth.

Tell her the truth.

This is a nightmare.

You have to help me understand this.

Richard. Please. Help me.

Please.

I thought it was

what everyone wanted.

It seems like everyone was

pushing me to do it. Even you.

Who was pushing you

to kill her?

Are you insane?

Priscilla. I didn't kill her.

Richard. You just said you...

Mrs Parker. To the best

of your knowledge...

did any other person

other than your husband...

enter your room

the night of the murder?

No. No. Of course not.

That was your story. Richard?

I thought that was something

the papers made up.

You please. You please think

of some other defence. Please!

How could this have happened? How could

you have done this to Lori. Richard?

How could you have done this

to our- Our family?

Richard! Oh. God!

Everyone told me

not to come here today...

but I couldn't let

anyone else do this for me.

I suppose I never was

as strong as I pretended.

And I don't have the strength...

to be both the good wife...

and the good mother.

So I'm going to be

the good mother.

I want to take Lori

away from all of this.

I want my name back.

I want a divorce.

Lori is in hell. Richard.

And I can't save you both.

What this does is define

the financial terms of the divorce...

to the satisfaction

of the bondsman.

Along with your car

and musical instruments...

this pays my initial fee

and secures the bond.

She's being very generous.

acting so fast.

Well. You have 24 hours to remove

whatever personal effects you want
