Cyberstalker Page #5

To say the least.

It's noble that you stepped up and kept

her off the grid, so to speak, for so long.

You've been like, um,

a guardian angel to her.

Well I think that's over-selling it a bit.

You two, um, you've never been...

you know...

intimate?

Friends.

With benefits?

Just friends.

I noticed you set up a business account

and a substantial amount of money

was taken out of it after the art show.

You want to tell me about that?

Yes I... I just heard from Aiden.

I was just on my way to the bank.

I was already there. I'll save you the trip.

It was transferred into your personal

account.

What?

No...

well, not by me.

No?

We call that embezzlement.

Are you here to arrest me?

I'd rather get you on murder.

You know, I usually stay away

from this kind of stuff

in order to maintain my girlish figure,

but it's...

(laughs)

...it's pretty good.

Mmhm.

The delivery guy kind of knows me

by name.

Eat in a lot?

More than I'd like.

Understandable.

It is?

Of course.

I just don't want to come off like

a total recluse.

Too late.

The, uh, stack of express post and

take-out boxes kind of gave you away.

(laughs)

Okay, fair enough.

So what about you?

You get out a lot?

Yeah... yeah.

I, uh, I...

you know, I bike, I hike, I fish...

Pike.

Sounds, a little Dr. Seuss actually,

but yeah I...

I like to play.

You're like a giant kid.

Hey, anyone can grow old but it takes

a certain someone

to stay immature for life, you know?

I like that.

So, um, 10 years from now,

where do you see yourself?

Uh...

married, two kids, a minivan

with terrible transmission.

I don't know, just...

in a perfect world, someone to walk

beside me and not have to look

over my shoulder type deal.

Oh, you know what?

What?

I'm a great walker.

(phone rings)

Oh.

(phone rings)

Hi.

It's Jill.

Listen, this may sound strange

but to me it's just not sitting right.

I tried calling Detective Page but

I couldn't get through.

I thought I should tell you

for your own safety.

Well, what is it?

I have this new client.

And you know me, I would never violate

patient-doctor confidentiality,

but in this case...

Well, you wouldn't tell me

unless it was important.

He was telling me about his past,

asking questions.

When he was young his family was

stalked out in Walnut Grove.

And he moved to the city, going offline,

trying to escape this person.

He went on and the details were exact.

So, you think he came to you

to get to me?

Yes.

Aiden, watch your back.

Bye.

(screams)

STALKER:

Well that worked out nicely.

(People yelling)

(phone ringing)

Page here.

I was talking to Jill earlier and she says

he's been into her office as a patient,

trying to get into my head.

What?

Yeah. You need to talk to her.

I can't.

What do you mean, can't?

Jill's dead

What?

An accident.

She was hit crossing the street.

(sighs)

Was it him?

No.

Some other guy.

They're talking to him right now.

This isn't happening.

What is it?

Look, I'm on my way over

and this time you're gonna speak

directly to Dayton.

I'd feel better coming there.

Um, can your guy make it for six?

Okay. I'll call him.

You want me to pick you up?

I have a ride.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

I'll see you there.

What happened?

STALKER:

And again...

(laughs)

And again...

(laughs)

Goodbye Jill.

(phone ringing)

Dayton.

DETECTIVE PAGE:
Uh, Jack...

-Yeah?

DETECTIVE PAGE:
Jill is dead.

-What?

DETECTIVE PAGE:
Talkin' on her

cell, she walked into traffic.

-You're kidding?

-Meet me at the office in 10.

Yeah... yeah... Absolutely.

I'll, uh, I'll see you then.

DETECTIVE PAGE:

I'll see you there.

Hi.

Thanks for getting her here.

No problem.

I'll be out here if you need me, Okay?

Thanks.

Jack Dayton, Aiden Ashley.

Hello.

Hi.

I'm sorry about your friend.

Winton Cornelis, as I see it,

he has you under lock and key.

ls there anything in your life right now

that's not tied to Mr. Cornelis?

Winton's always been a good friend.

He's taken money

out of your account, Aiden.

You're an investment to him

and he stands to make a lot of money.

He's making online art purchases,

and then, taking the money

from your account to pay for them.

Does that seem friendly to you?

ls he here?

Can I talk to him?

Yeah.

He's in the interrogation room.

You need to tell them I'm not

involved in any of this.

I have known you for a very long time,

and you've been nothing

but amazing to me.

I need you to look me in the eye and tell

me you had nothing to do with this.

I swear to you.

I... I've done nothing.

Any chance of happiness,

now and for the rest of my life,

will always be tainted because

my parents aren't here.

I'm begging you, if you know something,

tell me now.

Honestly...

I don't know what's worse.

Being locked up in here or that you could

even think I'd possibly

be able to do something like this.

And I want you to know that in those

sad-happy moments,

I will always be there as your friend.

Are we more than friends?

Yes.

Are we business partners?

Yes.

Can we both make each other

a lot of money?

Most definitely.

But underneath that, you know

I've always been here for you.

I hope you can believe that.

Well?

It's not him.

Look, I know it's hard to accept this,

but...

Of the few people I do know in my life,

I know.

And it's not him.

I mean, any online stuff, any money

accounts, we know this guy can do that.

What physical evidence

do you have on Winton?

It's him.

And if it's not?

I'm dead?

Then perhaps there's someone else

in your life

that you just don't know as well.

Enough!

You're just dogs chasing your tails.

This man has spent the past 13 years

of his life helping you,

and I'm assuming

he'd spend another 13.

If it's not Winton Cornelis

then we'll keep looking.

But for now, we have to focus on what we

do have, instead of what we don't.

Here, if you have any concerns.

Call me.

Yo, Aiden, uh, I have a business call

with Taiwan later tonight,

which I can do via laptop and that couch

looks pretty comfy so...

I can stay.

If you'd like someone to be around,

fill in the silence.

You'd still slay after all that drama?

Yeah.

STALKER:

Aiden

I'll grab my stuff from the car.

OK.

So, your computer is like a phone?

Uh huh.

Just press connect.

No phone or long distance necessary.

It's not going to be weird that I still

deadbolt my door is it?

You do what you got to do.

Thanks.

Good night.

Yeah.

Good night.

STALKER:

Paul, you are getting in my way.

WOMAN:

Okay.

So can we make those trades with China?

If you want.

WOMAN:

Invoice me for extra costs?

Yeah absolutely, absolutely.

I'll just...

WOMAN:

So, will you check the account?

Uh huh.

WOMAN:

And tell me how many we can afford.

There's about two.

To maybe three...

just about.

WOMAN:

Three?

Should be enough though.

WOMAN:
Will your delivery

appear on the next invoice?

PAUL:

Yup.

WOMAN:
Um, and either two or

three cargo boxes on Thursday?
