Miss Nobody Page #7

I mean...

Me?

Don't-- don't-- don't

play games with me.

Okay? We both know

what's going on here.

Well, you've

gotta understand.

The first time

it was an accident.

( chuckles )

that's what you call it?

An accident?

Yeah.

You got the nerve

to dine uptown

with that scumbag...

Huh?

...And call it

an accident?

Which scumbag?

What-- oh, god.

Oh, jesus!

Son of a b*tch!

There are others?

No. Maybe.

Which?

Who? What?

Huh?

Listen.

What?

I saw you,

you understand that?

I saw you get out

of the car with him!

Who?

Who? Well, you know--

One-- one of your execs

on my list.

Uh, nether, okay?

Last Tuesday night.

Right?

Oh.

So, babe, uh,

romance-wise,

You and me?

We're history, okay?

Oh, oh. Bill, wait!

Nether and I,

we just work together.

That's it.

It was just business,

I swear.

Are you lying?

No?

Really?

I swear.

Damn it!

Stupid temper.

Bill!

Stupid. I just--

don't. Don't.

I just thought--

I know, I know.

But you gotta

learn to trust me.

What's that?

What?

What's this?

Uh, that's

why I came in.

To wrap it up.

It's a ring. For you.

Hmm.

It's okay.

We'll get it resized.

Sarah jane...

Do you remember when,

uh, when I told you

That when the time

is right, we'll know?

You know what?

What?

That time is right now.

Really?

Ah!

( whimpers )

'tis you, 'tis you

must go and I must bide

but come ye back

in summers

in the meadow...

Under the circumstances,

things were working out

Better than

I could've expected.

I had the perfect man,

The perfect job,

And with nether

six feet under,

The perfect alibi.

"I embezzled the money

and the others found out,

"so I killed them one by one.

Don't try to find me.

I've flown off to an island

far, far away."

Sound like, uh,

sound like him?

Um...

Who was this?

Oh, nether. Uh...

Yeah, that guy.

Could be. Could be.

Sarah jane, did you hear?

You mean nether?

Yeah. Can you believe it?

Maybe I was next, bill.

Yeah, maybe.

Just, uh--

Boy, I don't know.

You know, a guy

that meticulous,

You know, a guy

willing to murder

In order to keep

the money he embezzled,

A guy like that doesn't just

leave 30 grand in his office.

And then there's

the "l" thing.

The "l" thing?

Yeah, he spelled

"sincerely" with two "l"s,

You know, but when I checked

his other papers and stuff,

There were no mistakes,

not a one.

Really?

( phone ringing )

Oh. Captain calling.

See you later?

You can count on it.

Okay, kid.

Captain?

The "l" thing.

Who was sending the notes?

Ormsby?

My fellow asthmatic

used the same inhaler as mine.

( coughing )

Foururadol

was never to be mixed

With products

containing aspirin...

Like clarity.

And since he only

drank bottled water,

He was an easy target.

Bardo. Well, it would be

the simplest thing in the world

To set her up

as a victim of a sex crime.

In fact, if it

didn't kill her...

She would probably

enjoy it.

Mr. Everwright.

Now, let's be real.

He was a few clowns

short of a circus.

No way it was him.

Father grisham.

I'd actually confessed

to father grisham.

But it turned out

he was no saint himself.

And bill was getting

closer to the truth.

The noose

was starting to tighten.

But you said

he left the country.

Yeah, but maybe he didn't.

Policeman's ball.

Policeman's ball.

I got him boarding

a plane to jamaica,

Right, but he

never gets off.

What if he just wants us

to think he split, huh?

Policeman's ball.

So, you think

he's still in town?

Yeah, he could be.

I tracked him down

to a hotel

The day he supposedly

got out of dodge, right?

Seems he diddled a chick

in that room first.

Policeman's ball.

A motel?

No, hotel. 11:
00 a.M.

Downtown marriott.

I didn't get a fix

on the girlfriend,

But nether was

definitely there.

Policeman's ball.

Oh, god, then he did me

later that afternoon.

Policeman's ball.

Pretzel

for the lady, please.

Thanks.

Still, the best part

of my theory?

I'll bite. Is what?

Nether always wore

his cell phone, right?

Never went anywhere

without it.

I'm not sure

I follow.

Well, see, if we

track down his cell phone,

We can send silent messages

for up to 96 hours, right?

You locate the frequency,

you locate the cell phone.

You locate the cell phone,

you locate nether.

Connect the cell phone

to wilder's,

You've got

yourself a case...

In theory, anyway.

Come on, sweet knees.

I had to dig up

mr. Ketchum's coffin

And find that cell phone

before bill did,

And I needed that cash

I'd hidden inside

To pay off my blackmailer.

And to think, management thought

you were smarter than me.

Charmaine?

W-what are you do--?

Payback for stealing

my promotion.

( gasps )

You're my blackmailer!

Ooh.

What are you--?

I'm the one who started you off

on your little crime spree.

Oh, you...

Followed me here?

I told beeber

you were an easy lay.

But I'm not--

I said shut up!

I also clued in

miss wilder.

And morty, too?

Yeah, sure, I teed up

morty. Why not?

What I didn't count on

was that you would actually

start enjoying yourself.

( explosion )

No, no, but jejeune!

Jejeune-- jejeune was my idea.

Oh, please, you

stupid little b*tch.

I'm the one who sent

the fax of you and wilder.

Not that jerk!

I even had johnny

blab to a few cops

That your mom

had a room to let.

Figuring what,

that a cop

Would pick up on--

on all those deaths...

At work.

Yeah, and zero in

on you.

That's good.

Yeah.

And you making nether

the fall guy?

I mean, that was just--

that was just a bonus.

Now instead of just revenge,

there was money to be had.

I would like

that money, sarah jane.

Now!

Fine.

You're a b*tch!

What?

( thunder rumbles )

( panting )

( clatter )

( grunting )

Get me the money!

Aah!

There! That blackmail note

on the window.

Did you like

my printing?

Remember when

your dad died

For beating up

your mom?

I do.

Your mom said

daddy boozehound

Had a head-on

with a cement truck,

But you said

you knew different.

You said it was

your guardian angel,

St. George, that he'd

come to save you.

Well, hon, where's

your guardian angel now? Huh?

( coughing )

( gasping )

Hey, sare!

Where's your saint now?

Hey, char!

( hissing )

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

( tolling )

aaah!

( shutters clicking )

Yes, uh, we did recover

a cell phone

We believed to be

miss wilder's.

As it turns out,

it was another commuter's.

Had charmaine abatemarco

been having an affair

with nether?

Well, uh, we did trace them

to a certain motel,

So that seems to be

the case, yes.

And then, what, they

argued over her share

of the embezzled money?

That is a scenario

that we're pursuing,

That miss abatemarco

killed mr. Nether,

Hid him and the money

inside the coffin,

Returned later

to dig it up,

And either somehow slipped

or jumped from the belfry.

Uh, detective.

Uh, your name.

Is that with one "l"

or with two?

M-a-l-l-o-y.

On the home front,

mom finally got around

To cleaning out

mr. Ketchum's belongings.
