Mystery Woman: Game Time Page #5

WHEN I'M DOING IT,

INCLUDING YOURS.

I HAD YOUR CAR TAKEN BACK

TO THE BOOKSTORE.

GO HOME, SNOOPY.

KEEP THE ICE ON YOUR HEAD.

ISN'T THAT HER KID?

DO YOU BELIEVE THE STORY

ABOUT HIS MOM BEING MISSING?

I DON'T KNOW.

CHIEF CONNORS WAS TRYING

TO BE POLITE,

BUT CHANCES ARE MRS. FISKE

HAS A BOYFRIEND.

BIG GUY, LIKES

TO BONK PEOPLE ON THE HEAD?

I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU

ONLY SAW HER AT THE HOUSE.

INSIDE.

BUT WHILE I WAS WAITING

FOR YOU OUTSIDE,

I SAW A SHADOW.

A GUY? A BIG GUY?

I DON'T KNOW.

[SIGHS] YOU SHOULD

REALLY GET SOME MORE REST.

I FEEL BETTER, THOUGH.

THANKS, CASSIE.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

BYE.

BYE.

PUTTIN' UP POSTERS, HUH?

I'M TRYING TO FIND

MY MOM.

YOU HAVE A REWARD.

WHERE ARE YOU GETTIN'

THE MONEY?

I'VE GOT SOME MONEY.

I'D HAVE MORE

IF MY MOTHER HADN'T--

IF SHE HADN'T WHAT?

NOTHIN'.

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME

YOU SAW HER?

WE WERE SUPPOSED TO MEE FOR DINNER LAST NIGHT.

I WAITED.

SHE NEVER SHOWED,

SO I WENT BACK UP

TO MY ROOM.

SHE JUST DIDN'T SHOW?

YEAH.

THAT HAPPENS SOMETIMES.

AND SO YOU WERE:

IN YOUR ROOM ALL NIGHT?

HAS YOUR MOM SAID ANYTHING

ABOUT YOUR DAD'S HOUSE?

SHE WENT THERE EARLIER.

EARLIER,

LIKE IN THE DAYTIME?

YEAH. I HEARD HER

TALKING TO HER REALTOR.

SHE'S LOOKING

TO SELL ALREADY?

SHE HATES THAT HOUSE.

BECAUSE OF THE MICE?

I DON'T KNOW.

MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE OF ALL THA COOL STONE AND TILE WORK.

IT'S NOT REALLY HER STYLE.

ARE YOU GONNA HELP FIND HER?

CAMERON, I DON'T KNOW

WHAT I CAN DO.

RIGHT.

[CHIME RINGS]

Philby:
HOW IS YOUR HEAD?

NEWS TRAVELS FAS AROUND HERE.

WELL, YOUR CAR WAS OUT THERE

THIS MORNING WHEN I OPENED UP,

AND CASSIE JUST CALLED

CHECKING ON YOU.

SHE TOLD YOU:

WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT?

YOU SHOULD REALLY LEAVE THAT TYPE

OF INVESTIGATION TO PROFESSIONALS.

LIKE CHIEF CONNORS?

I WAS TALKING:

ABOUT MYSELF.

YOU SHOULD BE HOME IN BED.

PHILBY, WE NEED TO ADD

FISKE'S SON CAMERON

TO OUR LIST OF SUSPECTS.

- REALLY?

- REALLY.

WHY?

HE KNEW ABOUT THE STONE

AND TILE WORK IN THE HOUSE.

FISKE TOLD ME THAT CAMERON

HAD NEVER BEEN INSIDE.

AT LEAST,

NOT UNTIL LAST NIGHT.

YOU THINK HE'S THE ONE

THAT HIT YOU?

WELL, I SAW JODY FISKE

RIGHT BEFORE I GOT HIT.

WELL, IT DOESN'T MEAN

HE WAS OUT THERE WITH HER.

HE ADMITTED TO KNOWING

HIS MOM WAS GOING TO THE HOUSE.

HE KNEW WHERE SHE'D BE,

FIGURED SHE'D BE ALONE,

AND NOW HE'S GOING ALL OVER

TOWN SAYING HIS MOM'S MISSING.

SO YOU'RE THINKIN'

THAT MAYBE CAMERON

GOT RID OF HIS FATHER...

AND NOW HIS MOTHER?

I DON'T KNOW.

TO BE HONEST, THE KID

KIND OF GIVES ME THE CREEPS.

DID YOU FIND ANYTHING?

IT TURNS OUT THA JODY FISKE AND RANDY LAWRENCE

ARE BOTH DEAD BROKE.

EXPLAIN WHY JODY'S IN

SUCH A HURRY TO SELL THE HOUSE.

DID YOU KNOW THAT RANDY

WAS IN COMPUTER GRAPHICS?

THAT MAKES SENSE,

FOR HIM TO BE ABLE

TO DESIGN A GAME.

YEAH, BUT HE DIDN'T STAR DESIGNING GAMES UNTIL 2 YEARS AGO.

BEFORE THAT, HE DID GRAPHICS

FOR HIRE.

WEB SITES,

THAT KIND OF THING.

WE'RE MISSING SOMETHING.

YOU'RE STILL NOT CONVINCED

THAT RANDY'S YOUR MAN?

HE'S A LIAR, A HUSTLER...

AND A PAIN IN THE BUTT.

EXACTLY.

BUT HE DOESN'T NEED

TO KILL ANYONE.

HE JUST WEARS 'EM OUT.

AND THAT'S NOT ONE

OF OUR CURRENT CAUSES OF DEATH.

NO, IT'S NOT.

RANDY MAKES ME VERY ANGRY,

BUT THERE'S

A CERTAIN HONESTY

ABOUT HIS DISHONESTY.

JODY FISKE AND HER SON

ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO READ.

I KNOW THEY'RE UP TO SOMETHING.

I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

HELLO?

HEY, CASSIE.

OK. WE'LL BE RIGHT THERE.

THE POLICE FOUND JODY FISKE.

LET'S GO.

[SIRENS]

[DISPATCH RADIO CHATTERS]

Officer:
WELL,

THAT MAKES SENSE.

Connors:
BUT YOU NEVER

SAW THEIR FACES.

MOST OF THE TIME,

I WAS WRAPPED UP

IN THAT DISGUSTING BLANKET.

I COULDN'T SEE

IF IT WAS NIGHT OR DAY,

LET ALONE WHAT ANYONE

LOOKED LIKE.

SCOTT, TAG AND BAG

ALL THAT STUFF FOR EVIDENCE.

YOU GOT IT, CHIEF.

WE'RE ON IT.

YOU DON'T KNOW

HOW MANY THERE WERE

BECAUSE YOU WERE

WRAPPED UP IN A BLANKET?

THAT IS CORRECT.

PLUS THE FACT THAT THEY TIED

A BLINDFOLD AROUND MY EYES,

AND THEY STUCK:

THIS FILTHY RAG IN MY MOUTH.

DID THEY TELL YOU

WHAT THEY WANTED?

NO.

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA

WHY YOU WOULD BE KIDNAPPED

AND THEN RELEASED?

NO.

OK.

THE ONLY THING:

WE'RE SURE OF

IS MY OFFICER FOUND HER

IN THE PARK:

WRAPPED UP IN A BLANKET,

BUMBLING AROUND.

SHE CLAIMS SHE WAS KIDNAPPED

BY A PERSON,

ORPERSONS,

OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN.

MOTIVE FOR THE KIDNAPPING:

UNKNOWN.

KIDNAPPED:

WITH NO APPARENT MOTIVE?

NUMBER OF ASSAILANTS,

UNKNOWN.

BIG GUYS.

SAME GUYS THAT HIT ME?

I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING.

I MEAN, IT ALL HAPPENED

SO FAST, AND IT WAS DARK.

DID THEY:

EVER SPEAK TO YOU?

WHAT LANGUAGE:

WERE THEY SPEAKING?

I DON'T KNOW.

SPANISH, I GUESS.

DO YOU SPEAK SPANISH?

NO.

"GORA."

GORA THIS, GORA THAT.

- GORA.

- GORA?

GORRA.

THAT'S SPANISH FOR HAT.

THEY WERE TALKING

ABOUT A HAT?

THAT MAKES NO SENSE.

OF COURSE NOT.

NONE OF IT MAKES ANY SENSE.

HOW DARE YOU ACCUSE ME

OF LYING?

I DIDN'T MAKE UP THE FAC THAT I WAS KIDNAPPED.

IT HAPPENED. IT WAS REAL.

YOU KNOW WHAT'S REAL?

THE BUMP ON MY HEAD.

LADIES, LADIES.

SHOULDN'T YOU BE HOME

GETTING SOME REST?

SAMANTHA.

ALL RIGHT.

MRS. FISKE...

YOU'RE NOT SCORING

ANY POINTS FOR DIPLOMACY.

THAT WOMAN:

IS SO OBNOXIOUS.

IT'S JUST HARD

TO STAY COLLECTED.

THIS IS IMPORTANT.

YOU'RE NEVER GONNA GE ANYTHING OUT OF HER

BY BEING ON THE OFFENSIVE.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

SHE KNOWS MORE:

THAN SHE THINKS SHE KNOWS.

OR SHE'S JUST MAKING

IT UP AS SHE GOES ALONG.

LIKE THAT PAR ABOUT THE SPANISH GUY?

RIGHT, AND THE HATS.

UNLESS HE'S NOT TALKING

ABOUT HATS.

HE MAY NOT EVEN:

BE SPEAKING SPANISH.

GO ON.

IGORA.

THAT'S RUSSIAN...

FOR GAME.

AS IN COMPUTER GAME,

AS IN RANDY.

FISKE'S COMPUTER

WENT MISSING:

THE SAME TIME SHE DID.

I'M SURE SHE HAS IT.

SHE'S PROBABLY LIED

ABOUT EVERYTHING.

DO YOU REMEMBER:

THE MALTESE FALCON?

YEAH. DASHIELL HAMMETT.

SAM SPADE FINDS THE WOMAN

WHO KILLED HIS PARTNER.

HE FINDS HER,

HE FALLS IN LOVE WITH HER,

HE GETS HER TO CONFESS,

AND HE TURNS HER OVER

TO THE COPS.

MAKES YOU WONDER

ABOUT LOVE.

HE KEPT HIS EYE:

ON HIS GOAL.

SOLVING:

HIS PARTNER'S MURDER.

KEEP YOUR EYE:

ON YOUR GOAL.

PUT YOUR:

PERSONAL FEELINGS ASIDE.

THANK YOU, PHILBY.

OK.

I'M GONNA HAVE

ONE OF MY OFFICERS

GIVE MS. FISKE A RIDE

BACK TO HER HOTEL.

THAT WON'T BE NECESSARY,

CHIEF.

I'LL GIVE HER A RIDE BACK.

HERE.

YOU OUGHT TO CALL YOUR SON.

I KNOW HE'S WORRIED

ABOUT YOU.

YOU TALKED TO HIM?

IT'S YOU

HE WANTS TO HEAR FROM.

JUST THINK OF I AS A PEACE OFFERING.

I'VE BEEN A LITTLE CRANKY EVER

SINCE I GOT HIT ON THE HEAD.

CALL CAMERON.

HE NEEDS TO HEAR FROM YOU.

A SHOWER FELT SO GOOD.

I JUST WANNA SCRUB

THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE OFF ME.

I FELT LIKE A HOSTAGE.

WELL, THEY SAY

THAT THE EASIEST WAY

TO GET OVER A TRAUMA LIKE THIS

IS TO REALLY PURGE IT.

MEANING?

WELL, YOU SAID THAT YOU

WERE IN THE TRUNK OF A CAR,

THAT IT WAS BUMPY.

WHAT DID YOU HEAR?

WHAT DID I HEAR?

I REMEMBER HEARING JETS,

JET ENGINES.

TAKE A RIDE WITH ME.
