shouldn't be driving right now.

Don't worry about it.

Everybody does it here.

We'll take the back road

into town.

Please, one second.

Oh, you're so sweet.

Please, after you.

Thank you, sir.

Sure.

So, what are you gonna do?

Shut the home down.

What?

Well... you can't do that!

Well, why not?

Oh, shoot!

Did it soak through?

Oh God! Aw!

Aw!

It's Armin Imholz.

God!

Oh my god! He's dead.

We ca- We can't-

I mean- I- It was an accident!

You've been drinking.

It's vehicular manslaughter!

Vehicular manslaughter?

Jeez!

God! Oh god!

This is gonna be OK, Ollie.

It's gonna be OK.

How is this

gonna be OK?

Let's get away

from these tire tracks.

Come on! Get in

the truck! Let's go!

What are we

doing here, Roberta?

Uh, but we should

cover him up!

Get down!

Get down now!

Can you give me

a hand here?

Oh god. Aw!

That's good.

OK, OK. Now what?

What are you planning on

doing with the truck?

I haven't really

thought that far ahead.

Clean off the blood and take

it to Travelon Auto Salvage

in Newman's Cross

tomorrow night.

Leave it at the back

and make sure you take

your license plate with you.

Everything will be fine.

OK?

Trust me.

Yes?

The cops have a body for us.

Why for us?

I'm the county coroner.

Told you everything

would be fine.

Um, can't you just

take Henry with you?

Henry and the Chief

don't get along to well.

Why is that?

Probably something to do

with a woman.

See you out front.

Yeah.

Hi, Dad.

Hi, Charlie.

- Hi!

He's not that ripe just yet.

It's his first corpse.

Me too.

You sure you can handle this,

sweetheart?

It's pretty gruesome.

I can handle it, Dad.

Looks like he was out

for his evening walk,

lost his footing in the dark,

and fell down the embankment.

Is that Armin Imholz?

Mr. Pickles.

Uh, this is Oliver Whynacht.

Mr. Pickles moved

to Elder's Bluff

when he left TV

a couple years back.

You know, you must remember

his show Dillville?

I didn't watch much television

as a child.

Roberta, always a pleasure.

It looks like he got hit

by a car, huh?

Maybe.

Except for the fact of

the neck being broken like that.

That's usually more consistent

with this type of fall.

If there's anything out of the

ordinary when I examine him,

I'll just let you

know right away.

Uh, cribbage tonight?

8:
30?

Is it Tuesday already?

Oliver, bag.

Charlie.

Oh for god's sake, Charlie,

photograph everything.

Charlie,

give me a hand please.

Yeah. Oh yeah.

It's a small town.

Everybody knows everybody.

What does your father think

about you dating his Constable?

He hates it.

He had his appendix removed.

From the scar I'd say he was

a teenager when it happened.

These other scars...

bitten by a dog at one point.

Uh, what are you

going to do with that?

Well, I've got to cut him open

if it's gonna look

like a real autopsy.

Can you pass me the rib cutters,

please and my goggles?

Rib cutters?

You know, I-

I've got some...

stuff to do.

Well, this is quite the mess!

So... you hit a deer?

Yeah, I knew this fella got

killed by a deer on the highway.

Broke through the windshield

and skewered him in the

throat with its antler.

It was quite some sight.

Good night, boss.

What are you doing out here,

Mr. Whynacht?

Oh, uh, I went for a walk.

Got really tired.

Hitchhiking is illegal.

Sorry!

I'll take you back to town.

OK.

Roberta finished

the autopsy.

Cause of death was a broken neck

due to accidental fall.

So, no foul play

is suspected?

This isn't the city,

Mr. Whynacht.

People don't go around

killin' each other out here.

So if you'd like to give us

the information about

your preferred funeral

home in Switzerland,

we'll take care of all

the necessary arrangements.

Of course, we can also

have the funeral here

if you would like.

We are a full service facility.

I know you and your husband-

I have decided...

to have it here.

Cost is not an issue.

My son Crispin

will do the music.

Oh wow!

Crispin,

what do you play?

He's a yodeler.

And Armin's walking stick?

I- I- I don't believe...

He never went walking

without it.

Same route and time every night.

He so loved

his evening walks.

We will look into that.

Yeah, good.

You didn't find it?

There are footprints.

That walking stick proves

Imholz wasn't killed

where they found the body.

Yeah?

Jackie, it's Oliver.

Ollie, what time is it?

I got a funeral for you.

That's great, Ollie.

When?

Tuesday. Tuesday.

That's poker night,

but I can skip it, I guess.

Oliver?

Yeah?

Is there somethin' else?

No, no.

Good night. Good night.

You are really

good at this.

Beautiful job, Ollie.

Thank you.

Hey. That's the nicest

funeral I've ever been to.

Even an open bar.

You did good.

Rollie' would be proud.

You think?

So, everything's alright?

Sure.

So, what was the

problem the other night?

You sounded sort of off.

Oh, uh, yeah.

It was nothing.

Aw, nothing.

Okey-dokey.

You have done very well,

Mr. Whynacht.

Elegant and tasteful.

Thank you.

Bitte schn.

Yeah.

Would you do me a favour

and refill her coffee?

Thank you.

Either one of you girls

know where the coat check is?

Yeah?

Uh, so...

Pickles has Imholz's

walking stick with him here.

Well, go get it!

Is everything OK,

Mr. Whynacht?

Yeah, although, I think

that they need a few extra hands

to go help with dessert.

Uh, can you...

Yeah.

Thanks.

Uh, my hat.

It's right next to it.

So are you really

leaving so soon?

Dessert's about to come out.

I've gotta do some rich kid's

birthday party in about hour.

So, tell me something.

Where did you get this stick?

Uh, I found it.

Why?

How much do you

want for it?

It's not for sale.

Gentlemen.

Lookin' forward

to our rematch!

Ah!

He-he knows something.

Just calm down, OK?

It doesn't matter

what he suspects

if he doesn't any have proof.

We need that stick.

I used to baby-sit Cindy.

Her parents go to the

drive-in every Tuesday.

Watch this.

Here comes Pickles.

And there he goes.

How-how did you know?

Recon.

Oh my god!

What is Pickles doing?

# Oh just the three of us #

# Just the three of us.

Just the three... #

Oh man! Oh god!

Should one of us stay out here

and keep an eye on him?

We've got plenty of time.

Go look in there.

I'll check in here.

Ew!

Oliver! He's coming back!

- Already?

I didn't know he was

gonna be that quick!

I thought you did recon!

Thank you.

There. There!

Didn't you check in here?

No! Get it!

Go!

Whoa!

Well, this is

a nice surprise!

What's he doing here?

We're taking

this walking stick!

It belonged to

Imholz, didn't it?

I really want this stick.

I wondered why it was

so far from where he "fell".

That's why you

want it so bad.

I saw the tire tracks.

Oh!

OK, I'll give you $1,000!

That is- that is

my final offer!

For me not turning

you in for murder...

is gonna' cost you

a lot more-

Oliver, I-I don't think

that's helping!

Oh my god! I forgot!

My Dad and Pickles

play crib every Tuesday!
