On the Other Hand, Death Page #7

I understand you may

have gotten a little

carried away,

huh?

Or just a little more violent

than what she asked?

I want them

to leave, okay?

Joey!

Everything was

great between us

before you started

talking to her.

Ms. Fisher's

been helping me.

But we were fine.

Nobody knew.

We were careful to make sure

nobody knew.

Yeah, we were.

And it's been making me crazy,

you know?

Sneaking around

all the time,

lying to everybody?

I've been trying

to tell you how f***ed up

it makes me feel,

but...

you never want

to hear about it.

Well, guess what. You don't have to worry

about that anymore.

You and me, it's going

to have to stop.

What?

I told you to tell her

to shut up,

but she just kept pushing

and pushing, and I just...

I want her to go away.

Hey, Joe,

I got to tell you.

It's because of

people like her

that in

a lot of places

you two wouldn't

have to hide.

You don't know

Hollis, mister.

Maybe I don't,

but I know

a lot of places

like it.

I get it, okay?

It sucks.

But I promise you,

if you guys hang in there,

maybe take care

of each other a little bit,

I promise you, you'll always

have someone you can count on.

Okay? No matter

where you wind up.

All right?

Hey.

Put the cars around back,

like you said.

Yeah. Did you find

what I asked you for?

Yeah.

I felt kind of icky,

though,

sneaking around

in their personal papers.

Yeah, well, that is the job,

so get used to it.

So, what are you

going to do?

Couples counseling.

There you are.

This is all very

strange, you know,

sitting around

in the dark like this.

We need the house

to look empty.

Kenny, keep

an eye on them.

We've got

another e-mail.

They want Dorothy

to bring the money

to the old Hampton Bridge

at midnight.

I don't think we're

going to be making

that appointment.

Why?

- Did you find Andrew?

- No.

What I am finding out

is making my job

a hell of a lot more difficult,

and I'll tell you,

I've had about enough

of you two lying to me.

Especially you,

Dorothy.

What are you talking about?

Talking about

the mortgage on the house.

Or should I say

"mortgages"?

Three of them.

You had no right to go

through my things.

What?

That can't be right.

Don, what's going on?

She's been taking out

$10,000 a month in cash

for almost

a year and a half.

You're being blackmailed,

aren't you?

But why?

So you... Edith,

Dorothy knows.

She knows who

you really are.

Mmhh.

An envelope was delivered

to the school,

and it was

full of clippings...

...about the bombing

in New York City.

And they had photographs of you

from the newspaper.

Your hair was different

and you were younger,

but, uh...

Oh, I'd know

that face anywhere.

Oh, Dot.

And they, uh,

they said that

they would go to the police

and tell them everything

if I didn't

pay up.

Why didn't you

tell me?

Because I was pulling all that money

out of the house,

and I thought

you would say no,

and I thought you would

prefer to go to jail than...

than risk our home.

I couldn't lose you.

I wouldn't.

I wouldn't

lose you.

Dorothy...

I am so sorry.

I should've told you

years ago.

I wish I had.

I thought that you

would hate me.

Hate you?

How could I hate you?

You're the love

of my life.

I'd... I'd do

anything for you.

Edie, I am so tired

of all these secrets.

There's somebody

out there.

Okay, uh,

that is a woman

with a half

a million dollars.

Next step... no matter

what happens out there,

you all stay inside

and out of sight.

- Got it?

- Yes.

Timothy.

Inside.

A lot of trouble

for this old place.

Well, home is where

the heart is, you know.

Where are

the women?

Oh, they're safe

at my place.

Did you get it?

Half a million

dollars.

You got

the title deed?

So Sturgis went

for it, huh?

To help secure

a $40 million deal?

He jumped at it.

Garritty's here watching us.

Play along.

Uh, in fact, you've been

working with Peter Garritty

on putting together the, uh,

Moon Road options, huh?

Uh, we talked

about it.

I also understand that the title

to the Fisher house

is the last piece

of the puzzle.

- Is that right?

- Right.

Okay. So, I got

a proposition for you.

Since all the rest of the options

are expiring

in less than two days,

what if you and I were

to hang onto this title?

We could pick up the rest

of the options for ourselves, swoop in,

sell the whole thing

to Sturgis.

We get to be millionaires.

What do you think?

So we cut out Garritty.

Yeah.

No!

You can't do that.

This was my deal!

Oh, my God.

What's happening?

Kenny, call

the sheriff's office.

Do you have any idea how hard

I worked to put this thing together?

Peter, I'd put the gun down

if I were you.

Give me

the land title now!

Albany PD. Put the gun down.

Put it down now!

I got some more bad news

for you, Peter.

Not only is she

Albany PD,

she also killed

your buddy Colter,

and she tried

to kill you

tonight

at your office.

Me?

Yeah. See,

the whole thing

about swooping in

and picking up the other options?

Officer Santer here

thought of that before I did.

She almost got away

with it, too.

- Isn't that right?

- You're crazy.

Must've been irresistible to you,

living on a cop's salary.

Garritty shows up

with this fat deal.

How much were you going to sell

the whole project for?

Five, ten

million dollars?

Give me the title deed.

Garritty and Colter

are crooks.

You're the only one

willing to commit murder.

Oh, you never should've

gotten involved in this.

I had to be involved.

Who else was going

to take care of the ransom?

Andrew knew that.

That's why you got

my boyfriend

to bring me

that teacher thing.

Isn't that right,

Andrew?

This could've been

so easy.

Yeah, but you shouldn't have

gotten me involved.

See, at first,

I couldn't figure out why

are Dorothy and Edith

both getting blackmailed.

And then I realized

I got two problems.

You wanted

the money, Andrew.

You wanted to pick up

all the options

and sell them all

to Sturgis.

It was inevitable your two paths

were going to cross.

Why not get together,

fake a little kidnapping?

Everybody gets

what they want, huh?

Till this little one wants

the whole damn thing for herself.

You know what?

You're all f***ing guilty.

I'm just gonna take my money

and let the two of you fight over the title.

- Like hell you are!

- No!

Kenny, shots fired!

Get in here!

Let it go, Andrew!

Why couldn't you just deliver the ransom

like you were supposed to?

What, the $10,000 a month

you've been scamming from Dorothy

is not enough, huh?

How'd you find out

about Edith's past?

She talks a lot

when she drinks.

One night,

she just broke down.

Said she did

some terrible things.

You son of a b*tch.

They trusted you.

Yeah, it's a gift of mine.

People just naturally like me.

Yeah, well, I don't.

Not anymore.

Good.

Women's Softball League

finally paid off.

Hey...

Okay. You ready?

Coming through.

Coming through.
