Deadly Pickup Page #2

Listen, what's this about? There was a murder

on Route 30 yesterday. - What? A murder!

- Oh, my God. We think it was

a hitchhiker. Most likely, long since gone, but we just want to be thorough. Hello. Hi, you must be Breezy. That's right. I'm Deputy

Randall. Hi. He's here asking

about a murder. Well, that's not exactly

accurate, but I would

like to speak with you. Okay. Where were you

yesterday, before

you came here? Ma'am, if you

don't mind, I'd like to do the questioning. I would like

to speak to her alone. Of course. Traci. Would you like

to take a seat? Okay. Your full name. Breezy Johnson. Breezy? What can I say? My parents were hippies. I'm told you arrived

here yesterday. That's right. From where? Portland. Portland. And how did you get here? I took the bus. The nearest bus stop's

in Blairesville. Right, I had a friend

pick me up. He drove me here. And you're going to State. Yes, or, I will be. I haven't registered yet. And your friend's name. Joe. Joe what? Oh, gosh, you know, I actually

don't know his last name. He's really a friend

of my brother's, go

to the same school, so he offered to pick me up. I saw the ad for the room here and I had him drop me off here. I think I have enough

information for now. Great. Well, if you need to talk again, you know where

to find me. Well, if you see anything

or anyone suspicious, you give me a call. My number's on the back. You call me

day or night. Thanks, Deputy. You can call me Jeremy. Jeremy. I'll do that. ( coughing and gasping ) ( music playing ) So, the cops were at your place? Yeah, some kid apparently

got killed a few days ago, left his car

on the side of the road. Oh, yeah, yeah.

I heard about that. Yeah, I guess you never know

when you're gonna buy it. But, Charlie,

the same day that happens, this woman, Breezy,

shows up at our house. You're telling

me that's a

coincidence. This is your new tenant? Yeah, and frankly, something seemed off about her,

right from the beginning. So why did you rent to her? We need

the money. Brian's going to school, and we can't live off

what I make in this dump. Hey! No offence. Well, did you do a background

check, did you check her credit? No, she's just a college kid.

Paid in cash. Well, it's none

of my business, but if I have

a potential murderer living under

my roof... I'm not sure I'd go that far. I mean, she talked to the cops

and they let her go. Still, I mean, if it were me,

I'd look into it. Well, what can I do? I can't exactly kick her out

without a reason. I'm not saying kick her out, I'm saying,

learn more about her. How? Well, she's not

always home, right? She goes out.

Next time she does. Sneak in her room,

look through her sh*t. Really? That doesn't seem right. What's right got

to do with it? She's living in your home. You got a dead body

down the street. The cops are knocking

at your door. I think you're

way past right and wrong

here. Trust me,

you'll sleep

better. Maybe you're right. Okay, thanks. You know, I really appreciate

you guys getting right on this. Yeah, thanks. I got some background

on our vic. Josh Clark. Registered

as a student at

State University. Well, that makes sense. I think the fall semester

starts up this week. Right. Well, that was your

pal over at the lab

on the phone. They got some DNA off

the wound which is

not Clark's. So that's got to be our killer. I got them checking all

the national data bases and we ought to have

an answer by morning. Well, even if he's not

in the system, we come up

with a suspect, we'll have something

to match it with. Right, now how did

your door to door go? Spent most of yesterday

canvassing the neighborhood going up and down the canyon. 20 homes total. Anything? Well, nothing to be

suspicious about really. Pretty much a dead end. Ah, that's okay. It was a long shot anyway. ( telephone ringing ) Sheriff's station.

Deputy Randall speaking. Wait, what? Where? Where exactly? Okay, don't touch a thing.

We'll be right there. I mean it. Don't touch a thing. What's up? They just found

a dead body on the beach. Drowned? No. Looks like it could be

the work of our hitchhiker. Damn! Hello? Is anyone home? Come on in. You sure

it's okay. Yeah, no one's home. You know, I don't

normally do this. You know, go home with someone

I just met at a bar. Shut up and take off

your clothes. No, no, not here.

Let's go to your room. Okay. ( music playing ) ( music playing ) ( music playing ) ( music playing ) ( music playing ) ( music playing ) ( music playing ) Ahh! ( moaning ) ( laughing ) Same wound, all right. That's definitely

our second victim. Looks like we got a serial

killer in our small town. Sure looks

that way. Looks like the body's

been here all night. Medical examiner's on the way. He should be able to

confirm the time of death. These marks

in the sand. Looks like he fell

from up there. I'll go and check out that van. You stay here

and wait for the M.E. Right. ( phone ringing ) Deputy Randall. "Deputy Randall." That sounds so official. Hello, Breezy. What can I

do you for? Well, I was wondering if

I could see you tonight. Uh... you have some

information for me? Well, if that means that you'll go out with me tonight,

then sure. Uh, I'm on duty tonight. Oh, so, do I have to commit

a crime or something to see you? No, I certainly wouldn't

want you to do that. You don't have to stay in the

office the whole night, do you? No, no, the calls

are being forwarded

to my cell. I'm on patrol tonight. It's a small town,

but we do have a... we do have a crime to deal with. Well, on these patrols,

do you ever happen to patrol near

Charlie's Bar? Yeah, that's on my route. And is there any chance

that you would be patrolling there around

9:
00 p.m. tonight? I very well could be. Fine. I'll see you then. ( music playing ) Hi. Hey, what can I get you? I'll just have

a beer, thanks. Cool, coming right up. Need another round

for table three. Breezy? What are you

doing here? Traci, you work here? I do. I just came in for a drink. Okay. Somehow, I feel like we got off on the wrong foot. You don't seem

to like me very much. I'd love it

if we could

be friends. I don't know you very well. We should change that. We should. Let's get

together later and have a girl's chat,

shall we? I would like that very much. - All right, can't wait.

- There you go. Thanks. Yeah. Hey, that table's

had enough, okay.

They're cut off. Right, thanks. Talk to you later. Great. Well, hello, Deputy. What a surprise to see you here. Yeah, well, my patrol

just happened to pass by, and I thought

maybe I'd come in and see if any devious

activity was going on. I swear, officer, I'm innocent. Pa-kow! Hey, Deputy,

what can I

get you? Hey, Charlie.

Uh, soda.

I'm on duty. - Thanks for coming out.

- Yeah, no problem. We can do this again

when I'm not in duty and I can have more

than just a soda. I'll look forward to it. So, tell me about

yourself, Jeremy. Uh, well, not much
