Deadly Sanctuary Page #5

Someone... They went out of their

way to play a cruel joke on you.

So they sprayed WD40 all over the tub.

These guys couldn't get out.

Who'd do something like that?

I had the door locked.

Well, you probably left the door open.

- I didn't.

- You probably did, but whatever.

Okay, well, turn around please.

Okay.

No peeking.

- Please take them out!

- All right, all right,

all right, but you owe me.

Wow.

Well, it's the best I can do.

Remember, dinner, my place,

next Saturday.

I'll think about it.

Well, I better go earn my paycheck.

- You better. Oh, hey.

- Hi.

Just don't talk to strangers.

MAN:
When he walked into

the bar I could tell

That his mind was far away

He looked like

he'd just been through hell

And today hadn't been his day

He sat down at a table for two

And then he just

stared off into space

He ordered Old Number 7

Shot it down

And he, he wrinkled his face

He did this a time or two

Or maybe three or four

Then he slowly got up,

he blinked his eyes...

If you could get together a

little closer, that'd be great.

Thank you.

Oh! I am so... I am so sorry.

- So sorry.

- Wow.

- I am so sorry.

- Where's my wallet?

- I already gave.

- I'm so sorry.

Hi, I'm Kendall O'Dell.

I'm a reporter with The Sun.

I'm Mike Scott.

I'm an attorney.

If anyone needs one, I'm available.

- [laughing]

- Can I buy you a drink?

Ah. You need to work on

your pickup lines a little bit.

- Can you buy me a drink?

- [laughing]

Very funny.

Sorry, I'm newly divorced.

I'm a little rusty at this.

Well, I'm newly dumped,

and I'm a little angry, so...

[both laughing]

Who's that?

That is Claudia Phillips.

She is actually the woman

who runs Desert Harbor Shelter.

She's very friendly, isn't she?

I think I know her from somewhere.

If you remember

where you've seen her from,

please give me a call.

I would greatly appreciate it.

I will.

If it kills me. I promise.

Enchanting is an understatement.

I don't think we've met, Miss...

I do hope it is "Miss."

Yes, Kendall O'Dell.

Eric Heisler.

Oh, thank you.

Yeah, I'm Kendall O'Dell.

I'm a reporter with The Sun.

Ah, a reporter.

- Yes. [Laughs]

- Excellent.

Well, I appreciate your interest

in our efforts this evening.

Well, I'm sorry

I'm not a big benefactor.

I'm just a poor working girl

trying to get some pictures.

Actually, could I get a picture

of you, if you don't mind?

- Of course.

- Oh, good. Excellent.

Can I get a picture of you?

Um, I don't know.

- [laughing]

- [Eric laughs] Please.

I mean this night's all about

you and Desert Harbor, so...

I know. Just one picture

to capture the beauty of this night.

A picture is worth

a thousand words, you know.

- Okay. [Laughs]

- All right.

[clicking]

Ah, there you are,

my little desert flower.

ERIC:
Talverson.

I didn't realize

you were here with someone.

Oh, I'm not.

I'm not here with anybody.

Oh, come on, darling.

Don't make a scene here right now.

She gets a little cranky

when I don't feed her on time.

Okay. It was really nice to meet you.

- Uh, no...

- Bye-bye.

What?

"My little desert flower?"

- Are you nuts?

- Oh, come on.

It's a good thing

I came here when I did.

- Why is that?

- [sighs]

God, Kendall, trust me.

- That guy's a snake.

- [scoffs]

You think everyone's a snake,

do you know that?

Do you know your eyes

look like little storm clouds

when you get angry?

Please don't talk to me

the rest of the night.

And please never interfere

with my work again.

All right.

Do you know where Ginger went?

I have a bone to pick with her.

I don't know.

I think she left.

Here you go, Dr. Price.

Jack neat.

Oh, are you Dr. Price

from Serenity House?

I'm Kendall O'Dell with The Sun.

I'm your neighbor right down

the road from you. I, uh...

You know, I actually did a

series on psychiatric hospitals

when I lived in Philly, and I was hoping

maybe you and I

could talk together some time.

Don't hold your breath, babe.

- [applause, cheering]

- MAN:
All right, thank you.

- Is he drunk?

- I don't think so.

Well, thank you all for coming.

I want to thank each

and every one of you personally

for supporting

this very important cause.

Through your generosity,

young women in crisis

are getting a fresh start

and a second chance at realizing

their full potential

as valuable members of society.

To our past and continued success,

and to the exciting

possibilities our future holds.

Cheers.

To you.

Have fun, everybody!

[whooping]

TALLY:

You have a good night.

[grunts]

Well, well, well.

Don't tell me you believe

in leaving with the one

who brought you now.

Please open the damn door.

I thought you were getting

a ride with Heisler.

Your chariot awaits.

[sighing]

So what's your problem

with Eric Heisler?

You don't like snakes, remember?

Everyone seems to think

he's really great, so...

Right.

Have you heard that he has to come up

with a half million bucks

before the end of the month

or he loses Whispering Winds?

Not so great now, huh?

You sound like a boy

with a jealousy problem.

You know what?

You should try growing up.

Eric slept with my wife.

I'm really... I'm sorry, I didn't...

See ya around.

You don't look so happy, sugar.

I'm not. Who did you tell

about my spider phobia?

- I don't really remember.

- Yes, you do. Think.

Somebody put a skittering

of tarantulas in my bathtub.

- A what?

- A s...

Never mind.

It's not important.

I just need to know who you told.

Maybe Colleen at the beauty shop.

- Okay, who else was there?

- I don't remember.

Yes, think!

All right, give me a sec.

All right?

Mabel Pritchard,

Fran from the bakery, and Rita Torres.

Okay, was Lucinda there?

I believe she was.

[groans]

Yolanda! Yolanda Reyes?

Can I talk to you about the

disappearance of John Dexter?

You've heard from him?

No, I was hoping you heard from him.

I'm Kendall O'Dell.

I took his position at

the newspaper after he vanished.

I have not heard from him

for many weeks.

You don't know why he

would've left so suddenly?

A girl called the paper the other day

and she said that John owed her

bus tickets and money to Nogales.

It was probably her.

He must have gone with her.

But if he went with her,

then what happened to his truck?

I don't know.

He left without saying goodbye.

The apartment manager said

that some men came and took

all his belongings.

Well, listen,

if you remember anything,

will you please give me a call?

Thank you.

Oh, well, howdy, Miss O'Dell.

Hello, Duane.

Um, is the sheriff in?

Uh, nope, he's, uh, he's in Las Vegas.

Roy's a gambler, you know?

Vegas or Laughlin or the Indian casinos.

When Roy ain't here,

that's where you'll find him.

Well, he must be very lucky.

Yeah, well, I don't know

if he's all that lucky.

He's always bitching about

how much he loses

on the tables every day.

Not lucky.

Listen, Duane,

I would really like to see those files

of those two girls that were

found dead in the desert.
