Grey Lady Page #5

She's Melissa's best friend.

I have to warn her.

- Hello?

- Melissa, hi.

This is Eric cook,

Clara's morning massage client.

I know that she was planning

on meeting you for lunch.

She's wondering if you could

just pick her up at my place.

225 Hulbert Avenue.

Okay, okay.

Uh, 225 Hulbert ave?

- And she'll be waiting for you.

- Okay, thanks.

- Hey.

- It's me, Doyle.

I know.

I saw you called.

I was at the studio.

- Where are you now?

I'm at the white elephant now,

but I have to go pick up Clara.

What do you mean?

Oh, her morning client called

and said she needed a ride

from his place.

What's the address?

Uh, 225 Hulbert?

Why?

Okay. I want you to walk

to the water right now,

look to the right

past the hotel.

My place is the safe harbor

guest house.

Wait, I have to go get Clara.

Please do as I ask.

It's me. I'm a cop.

My place is the safe harbor

guest house.

I want you to ask for miss cash

and sit tight.

Why?

There's been another death.

We'll send a squad car

to pick you up

and take you to the station.

We'll take care of Clara.

Why don't you just tell her?

I don't want her

to have a panic attack.

20 minutes.

I want you to be safe.

Call me if there's any problem.

Okay.

Perry:
What do you mean

you lost her?

I'm almost back at the house.

Find her!

I've got her.

Pull the boat up to the town

ramp at children's beach.

Clara, I can't pick you up,

so, um, I'm gonna send a cab

for you, but call me.

Call me when you get this.

Melissa, hi.

I thought that was you.

I met you at your art gallery.

I was the one who spilled

the wine, remember?

A-are you looking

for Doyle?

Yeah. We... no.

Miss cash, actually.

Oh, I just gave her

a ride to town.

Can I... can I give her

a message?

Um, no.

I need to make a phone call.

I'm sorry to hear about Clara.

What?

You don't know?

I just heard about it in town.

What?

They...

What?! They found her

body on the beach.

She was... I'm so sorry.

She was killed.

The police are investigating.

What?

Yes.

This morning.

No.

Murdered this... this morning.

No, no.

Yes.

No!

I thought that you knew.

No.

I'm so sorry.

No!

Oh, my god, are you all right?

Come... come here.

I can't...

I can't... I can't...

I'm so sorry.

Come here and sit, sit.

I have to send help.

Oh, my god.

Oh, my god.

Oh, god. Oh, my god.

Oh, god.

I think someone's

trying to kill me.

What?

I think...

No, no, no.

I think whoever killed Clara,

I think he called me!

I think he called me

this morning.

I think... oh, god, he just

called me this morning.

I'll call the police.

No! No!

No, no.

Just come sit down.

No!

- Is she all right?

- I don't know.

- I know her.

- I'll call for help.

Melissa, it's Heather.

Change of plans.

Dump the boat.

The car will be here.

I don't think so, Mr. Doyle.

I'll call 911.

No, no, no, I want you

to take me with you.

Okay, okay.

Kids, back in the car now!

I'll come with you!

Hey, Nantucket. This is Kate

with your local forecast.

We've got a nor'easter

moving in as I speak.

Now, I want to make sure you get

this prescription filled.

I will.

Thank you, Tim.

Did you call the police?

- Yes.

Doyle's meeting us at his place.

I'll drive you there.

Oh, uh, my...

My... my phone.

No, no, no, no, I found it.

It's in our car.

I called my brother.

- Hi.

- Hey.

This is him.

- Oh, hi.

- Let's go.

Melissa, this is Perry.

- What's Lola's last name?

- Doyle.

Doyle is d-o-y-l-e.

- y-l-e.

Yes, I know how to spell

your last name.

He's spelling my name.

What?

Well, check it out.

What if the circle on the back

of the duchess is an "O"

and today's word, "why," that

he carved on Clara's back

stands for the letter "Y"?

And the number 1 on

Maggie's back is an "L."

And this 3 here

is a backwards "E."

O-y-l-e.

Bingo.

You got it.

But we got to get this guy

before he gets to "D."

Doyle.

I want you off my island.

Until then, I just talked

to your commissioner.

You will do nothing to further

this investigation

without my permission.

Now, do you have a problem

with that?

Yeah.

This might be your island,

chief,

but this is our case,

and this guy right here

is a good cop.

You carrying a weapon?

You have been judged

and found wanting.

What does that mean?

Writing in the other room.

Phrase in Sanskrit.

Right.

Maloney, you stay with me.

Doyle, go with Johnson,

get your files.

Check it out.

Chief.

Chief:

All right, listen up.

I want a full briefing

in my office in one hour!

Let me see it.

- Melissa!

- I got her.

She left the cottage hospital

20 minutes ago.

What'd she check in for?

Panic attack.

Some "friend" told her

about Clara.

Friend?

Exactly.

Had a name?

Didn't give one.

Description?

Caucasian, blonde, in her 30s.

They also said Tony Ramos

had visitors yesterday...

A man and woman

looking for your aunt.

They cut off his finger.

It's them.

Yeah.

This is father Richard Riando.

I've got a woman here who gave

me your phone number.

- Is it her?

- She's in there.

At least I think it's her.

I'll keep watch out front.

We got 15 minutes

before the briefing.

You lied to me.

You said you weren't Lola.

And because of that, a friend

of mine was killed today.

Come on out!

Hands where I can see them.

No, it's Tony.

For this finger,

I'll cut off his head.

When you go after them,

you call me.

And you, tell him

what you told me.

So, it's Beth, right?

After your mother died,

your father and I became close.

My husband was an animal.

Your father was an angel.

He saved me.

Girl:
Mommy?

Frank!

- What?

- Frank, get up, get up.

It's Beth. Come on, get up!

- Mommy?

Mommy, I'm home!

- One second, baby!

Mommy will be right there!

Mommy!

Hi, baby!

There you are.

How's my girl?

How was school?

Tim.

What's going on, frank?

Look, Tim, let's go outside.

Piece of sh*t.

Dude, you're drunk.

You don't want to be doing this.

Come here.

Stay here, okay,

and protect your baby brother.

Tim, stop!

Tim, listen to me!

Tim, stop it!

Stop it!

Stop it!

You'll kill him!

Stop!

Tim:
B*tch!

With my brother!

With my f***ing brother?!

No!

No!

I'll kill you!

No!

Tim!

What have I done?

So, Beth is killing people

to get back at my father?

For killing her father.

She wrote about it.

The doctors said

she... Disassociated,

but she's...

I don't know what she is.

You have no idea

how much she hates us.

Look.

Look at that picture.

Look.

That day at the beach.

Look what she did to our family.

"Five fold misery.

What he hath done

must be done to him."

That's not what the Bible means.

They've twisted it.

Who?

Beth and...

and her brother, Perry.

He was just a baby when Tim

died, don't you remember?

No.

She raised him, not me.

I couldn't.

When was the last time

you saw them?

Hadn't been for years.

Then last year,

she tried to kill herself.

He came back to save her.

She tried to do it again,

so now he does what she wants.

They burnt my place down,
