Mystery Woman: Game Time Page #6

COME ON.

Samantha:
THERE'S NO AIRPOR WITHIN 100 MILES,

SO THE JETS YOU HEARD

HAVE TO BE SOMETHING ELSE.

WE'LL JUST SEE

IF THIS SOUNDS FAMILIAR, OK?

HERE WE ARE.

IS THAT WHAT YOU HEARD?

MY JET ENGINES:

ARE AN INDUSTRIAL LAUNDRY?

THEY MADE ARNIE MOVE

HIS BUSINESS OUT OF TOWN.

TOO NOISY.

THIS IS WHERE:

THEY THREW ME DOWN.

WHAT IS IT?

MY GUESS?

IT'S THE MISSING COMPUTER.

PHILBY.

WHAT IS THAT?

THAT'S THE HARD DRIVE.

THOUGHT A HARD DRIVE

WOULD BE BIGGER THAN THAT.

WELL, IT'S BEEN

BADLY BEATEN UP.

IT'S LIKE SOMEBODY

LAID INTO IT WITH A HAMMER.

SO, ALL THE INFORMATION

THAT WAS ONCE ON IT IS NOW GONE?

NOT NECESSARILY.

WHAT'S THIS?

THIS IS MY SECRET WEAPON.

WILL IT EXPLODE?

IT'S NOT THAT KIND

OF WEAPON.

IT'S MORE LIKE A TOOL

FOR INVADING OTHER COMPUTERS.

PHILBY, ARE YOU A HACKER?

COMPUTER FORENSICS

IS NOT HACKING.

IT'S LIKE, UH,

DOING AN AUTOPSY...

ON AN INVISIBLE PATIENT.

SO DO YOU THINK THERE'S A CHANCE

YOU CAN RECOVER ANYTHING?

WELL, I HAVE TO MAKE

A FORENSIC IMAGE,

A MIRROR COPY.

ANY WORK THAT'S DONE

HAS TO BE DONE OFF THAT.

JODY FISKE:

SEEMED PRETTY UNNERVED.

DO YOU THINK:

SHE SET ALL THIS UP?

YOU MEAN, DO I THINK

SHE'S DUMB ENOUGH

TO LEAD ME TO THE COMPUTER

BY ACCIDENT,

OR SMART ENOUGH TO LEAD ME

TO THE COMPUTER:

KNOWING:

THAT WE WON'T FIND ANYTHING,

OR DESPERATE ENOUGH TO DO

ANYTHING SHE POSSIBLY COULD

TO DISTRACT ME FROM FINDING

FISKE'S KILLER?

OH...

I GOT SOME OF THA BANKING INFORMATION.

OFF-FISKE, INC.

IS THAT HIS CORPORATION?

LOOK AT THE SIGNATURE

AND SEE:

WHO IT'S MADE OUT TO.

THE LAWRENCE GROUP.

AS IN RANDY LAWRENCE?

THIS IS FROM 2 YEARS AGO.

WHY DID DONALD FISKE

PAY RANDY LAWRENCE $3,000?

I DOUB IF IT WAS CHARITY.

I KNOW WHO TO ASK.

DO YOU NEED ANYTHING?

JUST TIME.

FORENSICS IS NOT POINTING

AND CLICKING.

SAMANTHA, WHAT--

WHAT EXACTLY IS THE QUESTION?

WHY DID DONALD FISKE

PAY YOU $3,0002 YEARS AGO?

AND DON'T LIE TO ME.

I DID SOME:

GRAPHICS WORK FOR HIM.

YOU TOLD ME:

YOU DIDN'T KNOW HIM.

I DIDN'T. I MEAN, I-- I--

I KNEW HIM,

BUT I DIDN'T KNOW HIM.

OK? NOT LIKE A FRIEND.

BUT YOU DID:

COMPUTER GRAPHICS FOR FISKE.

I USED TO DO:

A LOT OF THAT STUFF.

WEB SITE DESIGN. I COULD

DO ONE FOR YOUR STORE.

OH, NO, LET'S STICK

TO THE SUBJECT HERE.

THERE'S NOTHING ELSE

TO TELL.

FISKE THREW A CHECK AT ME

FOR HALF OF WHAT HE OWED

AND KICKED ME:

OUT OF HIS HOUSE.

[SIGHS]

I'M GONNA FIND OU YOU'RE STILL LYING

TO ME, AREN'T I?

MS. KINSEY?

MS. KINSEY, CAN I HAVE

A WORD WITH YOU?

- WHAT ABOUT?

- OUR FRIEND RANDY.

HE'S NOT EXACTLY

MY FRIEND.

DID HE TELL YOU THAT HE'S

BACKING OUT OF OUR PARTNERSHIP?

NO:

LOOK, I HAVE NO INTENTION

OF CHANGING HIS GAME.

SO TELL HIM THAT.

I'VE TRIED,

BUT YOU KNOW RANDY.

HE'S NOT EXACTLY

THE MOST TRUSTING PERSON.

BUT FOR SOME REASON,

HE TRUSTS YOU.

AND YOU WANT ME TO TALK

TO HIM AS A FAVOR TO YOU?

AS A FAVOR TO HIM.

YOU KNOW, RANDY KIDS ABOU LIVING OFF OF CREDIT CARDS.

YEAH, HE MENTIONED

HE WAS OVEREXTENDED.

DID HE HAPPEN TO MENTION

THAT THE CREDIT CARDS HE'S USING

BELONG TO OTHER PEOPLE?

THEY'RE STOLEN?

ARE YOU SURE?

LOOK, I DON'T WANNA

GET HIM INTO ANY TROUBLE,

AND THE POLICE DON'T KNOW

ABOUT THIS YET.

I'M OFFERING HIM

A BIG ADVANCE,

LOTS OF CASH,

SO HE CAN GET BACK

ON HIS FEET,

START OVER AGAIN.

HE'LL LISTEN TO YOU.

AT THIS POINT, I THINK

RANDY IS BEYOND MY HELP.

WELL...

I GAVE IT A SHOT.

YES, YOU DID.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

YOU KNOW, CAMERON, YOU'VE BEEN SO

WONDERFUL THROUGH ALL OF THIS.

I AM A MAN, NOT A CHILD!

OF COURSE YOU'RE NO A LITTLE KID.

WHAT'S WRONG?

WHY DO YOU ALWAYS

DO THOSE THINGS?!

KEEP YOUR VOICE DOWN.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

YOU KNOW EXACTLY

WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT, MOTHER!

[TIRES SCREECH]

[TIRES SCREECH]

CAMERON!

WAIT UP!

CAMERON?

CAMERON!

"I, DONALD FISKE..."

LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

HELLO?

HEY, CASSIE. WHAT'S WRONG?

OK, I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.

CASSIE?

CASSIE?

CASSIE?

CASSIE?

I'M BACK HERE.

HEY. WHAT'S WRONG?

EVERYTHING.

WELL, THAT'S A LOT.

ME. I'M WRONG.

I'M A TERRIBLE PERSON.

NO, YOU'RE NOT.

YES, I AM.

I SHOULD'VE BEEN THERE FOR YOU,

AND I WASN'T, AND YOU GOT HURT,

AND SOMETHING ELSE

COULD'VE HAPPENED.

CASSIE, I GOT HIT ON THE HEAD.

THAT IS NOT YOUR FAULT.

YES, IT IS MY FAULT.

I SHOULD'VE BEEN THERE.

I SHOULD'VE PROTECTED

MY FRIEND.

WHAT ARE YOU:

TALKING ABOUT?

THIS.

RANDY'S GAME.

IT'S ALL I DO.

I DON'T CALL MY FRIENDS.

I DON'T DO MY WORK.

I DIDN'T GO

TO YOUR BOOK SIGNING.

AND I HAVEN'T WASHED

MY HAIR IN 2 DAYS.

IT'S A LOOK.

TAKE IT. PLEASE.

DESTROY IT.

IT'S ADDICTIVE.

I HAD TO GET OUT OF MY HOUSE SO

I COULD GET AWAY FROM MY LAPTOP.

YOU POOR THING.

I FEEL LIKE:

SUCH AN IDIOT.

YOU ARE. YOU ARE.

PHILBY, WHAT YOU'RE

DOING THERE IS AMAZING.

IT'S LIKE MAGIC.

IT'S MORE

LIKE STUBBORNNESS.

WELL, THAT SUITS YOU.

THERE'S NO THAT MANY PLACES TO LOOK.

UNALLOCATED SPACES.

SLACK AREAS.

ONE TINY FRAGMEN THAT LEADS YOU TO ANOTHER.

AND PRETTY SOON YOU PU THE WHOLE THING TOGETHER.

LIKE A MYSTERY.

SOMEWHAT.

THAT'S WHY YOU LIKE IT.

THAT'S WHY IT'S

SO FRUSTRATING.

LIKE THIS MURDER.

I'VE GO ALL THESE FRAGMENTS--

POISON, KIDNAPPING,

AND A HANDWRITTEN WILL--

BUT NONE OF I FITS TOGETHER.

AHA.

"AHA" WHAT?

WHODUNNIT.

PHILBY, WHAT ARE

YOU TALKING ABOUT?

THE VIDEO GAME WAS

ON FISKE'S COMPUTER.

REALLY?

IT'S A PRETTY BIG FILE.

YOU REALLY CAN'T MISS IT.

YOU SAID "WAS."

IT WAS ERASED RECENTLY.

SO IT'S GONE?

WELL, ERASE IS NOT GONE.

SO CAN YOU RECOVER THE PAR THAT SAYS WHEN IT WAS ERASED?

IT SHOULD BE IN A--

A TINY DAT FILE. HERE.

"MAY 26, 10:
23 A.M."

THAT'S THE DAY

AFTER THE BOOK SIGNING.

AND I THINK:

THAT'S ABOUT THE TIME

I SAW RANDY:

AT FISKE'S COMPUTER.

HE TOUCHED THE COMPUTER

AND ERASED THE GAME.

BUT WHY?

I'M SURE RANDY HAS

A PERFECTLY DISTORTED ANSWER.

BEFORE I ASK HIM, I THINK

I NEED SOME MORE INFORMATION.

CAN YOU LAUNCH THE GAME

FROM THIS FILE?

PROBABLY.

NOT THE SAME.

IT'S NOT THE SAME GAME?

IT'S NOT THE SAME VERSION.

IT'S THE SAME SETUP,

BUT THE SOUND IS NOT AS GOOD AND

THE GRAPHICS ARE RUDIMENTARY.

ON RANDY'S VERSION,

THE GIRL DOESN'T LOOK LIKE--

OLIVE OYL.

PHILBY, CAN YOU FIND OU HOW LONG THE GAME'S BEEN

ON FISKE'S COMPUTER?

IT WAS CREATED:

ON FISKE'S COMPUTER.

FISKE CREATED THE GAME?

WELL, THAT EXPLAINS WHY

THE MYSTERIES ARE SO GOOD.

FISKE WROTE:

THE ORIGINAL VERSION.

BUT I THINK AS AN EXERCISE FOR

HIMSELF WHEN HE HAD WRITER'S BLOCK.

FISKE TOLD ME THAT HE

FIDDLED WITH THE GAME.

AND RANDY MUST HAVE SEEN IT WHEN

HE DID GRAPHICS WORK FOR FISKE,

AND HE STOLE IT.

RANDY WAS:

A VERY BAD BOY.

BAD ENOUGH THAT WHEN FISKE FOUND OUT,

RANDY KILLED HIM?

GOT TO TALK TO RANDY.

THAT'S NOT MY JOB.

HMM.

Connors:
THE COURT HAS

DEEMED YOU A FLIGHT RISK.

DON'T BE SURPRISED

IF YOUR BAIL IS REVOKED.

GET HIM OUT OF HERE.

JUST ONE MOMENT, PLEASE.

I HOPE I DID:

THE RIGHT THING.

I JUST DON'T WANNA

BELIEVE HE DID IT.

YOU DID WHA YOU HAD TO DO.

MORNING.

HI. YOU GETTING
