Mystery Woman: Game Time Page #7

READY TO LEAVE TOWN?

NO. IN FACT, I'M STAYING...

UNTIL I PROVE:

RANDY'S INNOCENT.

THERE'S A LO OF EVIDENCE AGAINST HIM.

ACCORDING TO YOU.

ACCORDING TO CHIEF CONNORS.

HE'S THE ONE

WHO MADE THE ARREST.

BECAUSE YOU CALLED HIM.

I JUST TURNED OVER WHAT WE

FOUND ON FISKE'S HARD DRIVE.

WHICH PROVES NOTHING.

IT PROVES THAT FISKE

CREATED THE GAME, NOT RANDY.

THAT'S YOUR

SO-CALLED EVIDENCE?

A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION

OVER WHO CREATED THE GAME?

IT'S NOT AN OPINION.

IT'S A FACT.

BECAUSE YOU TWO:

SAW IT ON A HARD DRIVE.

NOT JUST ANY HARD DRIVE.

FISKE'S HARD DRIVE.

IT'S A REASON

TO HIRE A GOOD LAWYER,

NOT A REASON:

TO KILL SOMEBODY.

AND YOU'RE NOT JUST SAYING THIS

BECAUSE YOU WANT THE GAME.

RANDY TRUSTED YOU.

HE THOUGH YOU WERE HIS FRIEND.

YOU'RE ONLY INTERESTED

IN CUTTING DEALS.

YOU DON'T EVEN CARE ABOU THE FACT THAT SOMEBODY DIED.

I'M NOT THE ONE GHOULISHLY MAKING

PROFITS OFF A DEAD MAN'S BOOKS.

THAT'S NOT FAIR.

WHICH PART?

EXPLOITING THE GUY THAT GO GASSED OR RAILROADING RANDY?

YOU KNOW,

YOU MAY NOT BELIEVE THIS,

BUT IN THE MONTHS

THAT I WAS PURSUING RANDY,

I'VE COME TO RESPEC AND ADMIRE HIM.

HE'S CREATIVE

AND PASSIONATE.

BUT APPARENTLY TO YOU,

HE'S JUST A NUISANCE.

WELL, YOU DID THE RIGHT THING

BY TURNING IN THE EVIDENCE.

YOU GOT A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS

KILLER OFF THE STREETS.

UNLESS HE:

DIDN'T KILL HIM.

HE PROBABLY DID.

I HAVE DOUBTS.

WELL, GET OVER THEM.

NO, SERIOUSLY,

WHERE DID THE POISON

COME FROM?

HOW DID RANDY:

GET FISKE TO DRINK IT?

WHO HIT ME? WHO KIDNAPPED

THE EX-MRS. FISKE?

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

YEAH?

REALLY?

REALLY?

WELL, THANKS, MELINDA.

WHAT?

YOU'RE NEVER GONNA GUESS.

THE EX-WIFE

WAS KIDNAPPED AGAIN?

OOH. NICE TWIST. BUT NO.

TOXICOLOGY JUST CAME IN.

THE POISON THAT KILLED FISKE WAS

MORE LETHAL THAN THE PESTICIDE.

IT'S CALLED VX.

WHAT IS THAT?

IT'S A CHEMICAL WEAPON.

WEAPON. AS IN MILITARY?

YEAH.

SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

IT MEANS THAT I'M GONNA BE FIELDING

CALLS FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE,

THE ARMY,

HOMELAND SECURITY.

SO NO MORE RUNNING?

NO. I'LL BE KNEE-DEEP

IN REPORTS.

WELL, THERE'S GOT TO BE

SOME EXERCISE IN THAT.

SEE YA!

PHILBY, WHERE WOULD

THE AVERAGE PERSON

GET THEIR HANDS:

ON A CHEMICAL WEAPON?

HAVE YOU TRIED eBAY?

IT TURNS OU THE POISON THAT KILLED FISKE

IS SOMETHING CALLED VX.

THAT'S ODORLESS

AND COLORLESS.

IT'S 10 TIMES

MORE LETHAL THAN SARIN.

YOU'VE WORKED WITH IT.

OH, VX IS RUSSIAN.

THE KGB CREATED I AT THE FSB,

A SECRET LAB:

RIGHT OUTSIDE MOSCOW.

NOT SO SECRET.

RUSSIAN POISON.

RUSSIAN KIDNAPPER.

ARE WE THINKING THAT FISKE DIED AS A

RESULT OF SOME WEIRD RUSSIAN SPY THING?

PROBABLY NOT.

THE RUSSIANS STOCKPILE

MOST OF THEIR CHEMICALS

IN A LITTLE TOWN RIGHT IN THE

MIDDLE OF RUSSIAN MOB TERRITORY.

WELL, SOME OF IT'S

GETTING OUT.

THE RUSSIAN ARMY

CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY ITS GUARDS

AS WELL AS THE RUSSIAN MOB

CAN AFFORD TO PAY THEM OFF.

SO THE RUSSIAN MOB HAS VX.

POSSIBLY.

POSSIBLY.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

Woman:
YES. MEDICAL EXAMINER'S

OFFICE. MAY I HELP YOU?

OH, I'M SORRY.

SHE'S NOT IN AT THE MOMENT.

MAY I TAKE A MESSAGE?

COME IN.

HEY, I'M SORRY

TO BOTHER YOU.

OH, HOW'S YOUR HEAD?

SO MUCH BETTER.

THANK YOU.

OH, THESE ARE BEAUTIFUL.

WELL, IT'S A LO OF WORK REALLY,

BUT WITHOUT OUT 'EM,

IT'S LIKE A MORGUE IN HERE.

OH. I GET IT.

YOU'RE A MEDICAL EXAMINER.

IT'S OK. NONE OF

MY PATIENTS LAUGHS, EITHER.

HELLO.

OH. MS. KINSEY.

CHIEF.

DOCTOR, AM I TOO EARLY

FOR OUR APPOINTMENT?

WE WERE JUS GOING OUT TO LUNCH.

OH. WELL,

DON'T LET ME KEEP YOU.

I'LL BE GONE

ABOUT AN HOUR.

IF YOU NEED ME, PAGE ME.

Samantha:
I HEARD DONALD FISKE

WAS POISONED BY VX.

NO MYSTERY THERE,

MS. KINSEY.

YES, IT WAS VX.

WELL, HOW WAS HE POISONED?

VX IS PRETTY POWERFUL.

IT WASN'T JUST SITTING AROUND

WAITING FOR HIM TO DRINK IT.

RESPIRATORY EVIDENCE

SAYS THAT HE INHALED IT.

PROBABLY ADMINISTERED

AS AN AEROSOL.

HAVE YOU FOUND:

AN AEROSOL SPRAYER ANYWHERE?

NO, WE DIDN'T,

BUT WE'RE STILL LOOKING.

DOCTOR, SHALL WE?

HAVE A NICE LUNCH.

THANK YOU.

YOU PROBABLY DIDN'T EXPEC TO SEE ME, DID YOU?

I WAS JUST WORKING ON AN IDEA

I HAD FOR A NEW VIDEO GAME.

IT'S CALLED

PRISON ESCAPE.

LOTS OF DIGGING TUNNELS WITH

SPOONS AND SAW BLADES IN CAKES.

WHY DID YOU GO:

TO THE FISKE HOUSE?

I WENT THERE:

TO MAKE HIM AN OFFER.

50-50 IF HE JUST LET ME

GO AHEAD AND SELLWHODUNNIT.

WHY WOULD YOU CUT HIM IN?

HE DESIGNED:

A COMPUTER GAME.

HE HIRED ME TO DO

THE GRAPHICS FOR I ON HIS COMPUTER.

I TOLD YOU HE DIDN'T PAY ME

EVERYTHING THAT HE OWED ME.

WAS THE GAME:

CALLEDWHODUNNIT?

YEAH.

BUT I FIGURED:

HE OWED ME SOMETHING,

SO I, UH...

I BROKE INTO HIS HOUSE

AND STOLE A COPY

OFF HIS COMPUTER.

YOU'RE FINALLY

TELLING ME THE TRUTH?

THAT WAS 2 YEARS AGO.

I THOUGH I WAS HOME FREE.

HE NEVER INTENDED TO GO

COMMERCIAL WITH THE GAME, SO...

WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?

IT WASN'T YOURS.

THE GAME WAS STOLEN GOODS.

YEAH, BUT I

IMPROVED IT, A LOT.

BETTER MUSIC,

BETTER GRAPHICS.

SO YOU STARTED:

FEELING GUILTY,

AND YOU OFFERED HIM HALF

OF HIS OWN GAME,

BUT HE WASN' GONNA GO FOR IT.

WELL, I NEVER GO AROUND TO DOING THAT...

'CAUSE HE WAS ALREADY

DEAD WHEN I GOT THERE.

AND YOU PANICKED.

YES.

BUT NOT SO MUCH:

THAT YOU DIDN'T STOP

AND EXPLOIT THE MOMENT.

I FIGURED IF THE GAME

WAS ERASED OFF HIS COMPUTER,

THAT NO ONE:

WOULD EVER KNOW.

BUT I DIDN'T KILL HIM.

I DIDN'T EVEN TALK TO HIM.

EXCEPT FOR OUTSIDE

MY BOOKSTORE.

WHY DOES EVERYONE

KEEP SAYING THAT?

BECAUSE PEOPLE SAW YOU.

THAT WASN'T ME.

YOU SAW ME LEAVE.

I NEVER WENT BACK.

THE NEXT TIME I SAW FISKE,

HE WAS DEAD.

MS. KINSEY?

MS. KINSEY,

I JUST WANTED TO SAY

THAT I HEARD YOU WERE RESPONSIBLE

FOR THE ARREST OF DONALD'S KILLER.

THE POLICE ARRESTED

RANDY LAWRENCE.

THE COMPUTER GAME GUY?

YOU KNOW ABOUT THE GAME?

I OVERHEARD MY DAD TALKING

TO YOU ABOUT HIM AT THE SIGNING.

YOU SAID YOU SAW FISKE TALKING

TO RANDY OUTSIDE MY BOOKSTORE.

YES.

DID YOU TELL:

THE POLICE THAT?

YES. I HAVE NOW.

WHERE EXACTLY WERE THEY?

OVER THERE IN THE CORNER.

AND THEY WERE JUS STANDING THERE.

WELL, DONALD

WAS BY THE GATES,

AND THAT RANDY FELLOW, HE WAS

BEHIND HIM IN THE SHADOWS.

ARE YOU SURE:

IT WAS RANDY?

I'M SURE THA MY HUSBAND'S KILLER IS IN JAIL.

WELL, I GUESS YOU GUYS

CAN MOVE ON WITH YOUR LIVES.

WHATEVER THAT MEANS.

I MEAN, THERE'S MOVIE RIGHTS.

THERE'S MEMORIAL COLLECTIONS.

IT'S A BIG JOB.

I'M SURE THAT'LL ALL GET SORTED

OUT WHEN THE ESTATE IS SETTLED.

I AMTHE EXECUTOR.

HMM.

WELL, GOOD LUCK.

THANK YOU.

CAMERON.

[DOOR SHUTS]

HEY!

AAH!

PHILBY, IT'S ME.

I NEED YOUR HELP.

I'VE SEEN

THIS MAN BEFORE.

BUT YOU DON'T KNOW

WHO HE IS?

NO. I JUST REMEMBER HIM

FROM SOMEWHERE.

AND YOU HAD TO GET CLOSE

TO GET A BETTER LOOK.

I USED MY FLASH:

TO LIGHT HIM UP.

WHEN EXACTLY DO WE STOP PRINTING

PHOTOS AND REPORT THE SHOOTING?

AS SOON AS I FIND

WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR.

IT'S AMAZING HOW A NEAR-DEATH

EXPERIENCE CAN JOG YOUR MEMORY.

PEOPLE WHO ESCAPE DEATH

OFTEN RECOUNT A FEELING

OF IRRATIONAL EXUBERANCE.
