Grey Lady Page #4

Eli, stop!

Eli!

Aah!

Eli!

Not now, Eli!

Eli!

Lola:

Eli, get in the car!

Lola:
Beth?

What are you doing?

No!

What the hell?

Beth!

No!

What are you gonna do,

call the cops?

Eli, get in the car!

Get in the car!

Tony:
Angela! Angela!

Lola:
Tony!

Great. Yeah, okay.

See you tomorrow. Bye.

I've got a job in the morning.

- Great.

- Over on Hulbert Avenue.

An Eric something or another.

Says he wants

a holistic massage.

So, why don't you let me

buy you lunch after?

How about the white elephant?

Cool. Sounds good.

See ya.

Have you ever gotten a massage?

Clara's the best.

No. Well,

not professionally.

Oh...

You having fun playing

Sherlock Holmes, Mr. detective?

You know, he never said,

"elementary, my dear Watson"

in any of the books.

Line from the movies.

Listen, Billy,

I got to tell you.

You're on a short list of

persons of interest

to the local police.

Now, I know you didn't kill her,

but did the duchess speak

to any strangers,

anybody she didn't know

at the barn party?

I could really use your help

on this one.

Help?

You want my help?

She'd still be alive

if it wasn't for you.

I looked into you today.

I know all about you.

I know all about Boston and

your partner and your sister.

Who's next?

Melissa?

Hey.

Why'd you leave?

I'm not good company right now.

Okay, that's fine.

Can we talk?

Sure.

So, uh, why are you really here?

'Cause Billy told me

all kinds of stuff.

He said that...

That you got suspended

from the Boston police.

I'm on leave.

Because of your

partner's murder?

I'm not allowed

to investigate it.

But you are anyway.

Correct.

It's also true that I was shot

with her gun

and she was shot with mine.

Some people think that I did it.

Did you know she was pregnant

at the time?

No.

Before Maggie died...

She said two things.

A rose.

A crown.

Besides the restaurant,

does that mean anything to you?

Um, there's a shoal out there

called the rose and crown.

It was named after the ships

that were wrecked on it,

and I think the restaurant

was named after the shoal.

The duchess called the island

the Grey lady.

Is that 'cause all the fog?

Yeah.

But I'd like to think

it's also because...

Not everything here

is black and white.

Even the people aren't always

what they seem.

Do you want to come back

to my place?

Just to talk.

It's the cottage on the beach

over next to sail's baskets.

There's something

I have to do first.

I'll meet you there.

You got balls coming back here.

What happened?

It's nothing

that we can't handle.

That guy earlier, you were

with him in Tony's house.

Who was he?

I don't know. Why?

I want to talk to Angela.

Not tonight.

You tell Angela to call me.

We have the card

you left here before.

Marty.

Found Lola.

- Yeah?

Well, guess what.

I found your cousin Beth.

She escaped from

the mass psych center

18 months ago with some guy.

I'm gonna take this.

You have a description?

Even better.

I got a visitor's photo.

He looks military.

Buzz cut, full BDUs.

Looks like he just stepped off

the front lines.

That's him.

Let me ask you something, okay?

Why would this guy be killing

your sister and Maggie

and people you barely met in

Nantucket like the duchess?

Listen, I don't know.

I'm not sure.

Okay.

I'm coming over there.

Melissa:
And Maggie?

You really loved her,

didn't you?

I still do.

The night you bought

my painting,

I had this image of someone

surrounding you,

protecting you.

What do you mean?

My mother, she used to say that

sometimes when people die

violent deaths,

they linger in this life

looking for peace.

We can't hold on to them.

If you love somebody,

you have...

You have to let them go.

I've tried.

If Maggie's still around,

how come I can't feel her?

Because you're like this.

You're not open.

In your heart, do you know

who killed her?

I think it might have something

to do with my family.

The hand that holds the hand

later holds the knife.

Man:
Lola, look at me,

look at me.

Lola, it's gonna be all right,

all right? Now get inside.

Go inside. It's all right.

I got this.

Boy:
Dad?

Where are you?

Hi.

Hi.

Let me, uh, help you with that.

Just... Down this way.

Okay.

Sorry it's a little...

Chilly inside,

but I'm renting, and...

That's... I haven't

figured out the heat.

So, how did you hear about me?

The lady at the guest house

where I was staying.

Oh. There you go.

Can I get you some coffee

while I... I get changed?

Oh, do you have herbal tea?

I'll check.

Which guest house is that?

The Carlisle.

Oh, you must mean Sally.

She's a really good friend

of mine.

She's an absolute dote.

Is that an Irish accent?

Yes.

Beautiful cork.

Lots of us came over here

when we were in college

just for the summer.

I fell in love

and ended up staying.

How's about you?

Are you happy here?

I don't know that I'm

ever really happy.

I guess I just do

what I have to.

I want to watch.

Go upstairs.

Perry.

Please!

Can I get you some honey

in your tea?

That'd be great, thank you.

Why are you dressed...

Eric?

Eric.

Say something, Eric,

you're... you're, uh...

You're scaring me.

We're going for a boat ride.

Woman:
Stop!

You're gonna kill him!

You're gonna kill him!

Stop!

Eli, stop!

Eli, there's a way to do this!

Let me do this!

Don't ever touch me!

Don't ever touch me again!

Eli.

Eli, put the gun down.

Eli, put the gun down.

Hey, Clara, just calling to

remind you about lunch.

I guess I'll see you at

the white elephant at 1:00.

All right, see you then.

That's his girlfriend.

I'll be there instead.

Eli, put the gun down.

This is her number.

Call her when I tell you.

Tell her to pick up Clara

from here.

Eli!

Mr. Doyle, have you met your

new upstairs neighbor, Eli?

Not me. Her.

Oh, hi.

Yes, we've met.

I moved in yesterday.

You must have been out.

Hello.

I need a three-letter word

meaning zero.

- Nil. N-i-l.

- Duh.

I love puzzles.

You'll be sharing the bathroom,

Mr. Doyle,

so please put the toilet seat

back down.

I have a brother.

Nothing shocks me.

Nothing?

How about this clue?

17 across.

"The liquor used

in a whale's orgasm,

a Cape Cod drink.

Five letters."

I didn't know whales

had orgasms.

Oh, yeah.

Try vodka.

Love to.

Got some?

V-o-d-k-a.

- Johnson.

- A body has just been found.

White female, 30s.

And, Doyle, there's a word

cut into her back.

Doyle:

You sure it's a word?

Yeah. The word "why."

There's the woman

who found the body.

Did you get through

to your friend?

What's her name?

Melissa?

No.

Post a couple of your men

to watch our backs.

It's my guy,

he may have set a trap.

Macvicker.

Whoever did this

may still be around.

Keep your eyes peeled,

make sure no one approaches.

Okay.

Woman:

It's stressful, you know?

If you really want to know,

this is really stressful.

I've never seen

a dead body before.

They're here.

You in place?

Yes. Get ready.

Oh, my god.

Her name's Clara Burke.
