That was the right thing to do.

Most... Most women of your generation

would be rutting like goats.

I didn't make him sleep

on the couch.

He offered to.

'Cause he was a gentleman.

Maybe he was just trying to con you,

you know. Men do that.

They pretend to be your friend

when really they just wanna...

You know. You know.

Yeah.

I know.

So what is it that you want?

You, Wendy.

I want you.

Rebecca Morris gets

murdered after she purchases a ring.

Wendy Alden gets attacked after

she purchases a necklace.

According to our records,

all four women had charge accounts here.

But there's no listing

for Jennifer Kutzlow.

Can you tell us if any of these

women made any recent purchases?

Certainly.

I'll check another file.

Mrs. Stern purchased

a watch in November,

Ms. Morris charged

a ring in January.

Uh, Miss Osborne made several

purchases on different dates.

The last one was March 3rd.

Uh, a bracelet.

And Ms. Alden charged a

necklace a couple of days ago.

Did you make those sales?

No, Mr. Rood

concluded the sales.

So, how long has

Mr. Rood worked for you?

Oh, he's been with

us over two years.

He's one of our most

reliable employees.

He is so good with those

tiny wristwatch batteries.

He has big hands,

but a delicate touch,

just pops 'em right in there.

Can we speak to Mr. Rood?

Well, actually,

he's not here today.

Why?

Nothing in particular,

just said he wasn't feeling well.

Can you give me

Mr. Rood's address?

Certainly.

We're going to embark on a...

A partnership that's gonna

lift us to new heights

that neither of us could

have reached alone.

We'll have nothing cheap

or casual or meaningless.

That's what I want, my dear.

I won't accept anything less.

You'll see. Tonight.

Now, my little turn

is coming up,

so keep an eye.

You're gonna turn

left a little further, okay?

Why, what's gonna

happen tonight?

Surprise.

See that little drive there?

Well, you go left in there.

Okay?

Blinker, Wendy.

What kind of surprise?

Nothing awful,

I mean, we just gotta

get to know each other

a little bit, that's all.

Maybe more.

Maybe more?

Maybe more?

Lovers, Wendy.

And I promise you,

once you know my power

and my passion,

you will love me, too.

Not much further now.

Very good driving.

Clear!

Jesus.

He was right under our nose.

Let's see what we can find.

Uh-huh. Now, when I first came up here,

I purchased this plot.

My own little hideaway.

You're my first guest.

And there's no use trying to run away

'cause there's nowhere to go.

Come on, now.

There's no homes, no people.

Nothing at all!

Just you and me.

So, you better do as I say.

Okay...

I've just got some things to get

out of the back there, so...

If you wouldn't mind

taking these bags and...

Please don't drop them,

I'd get awfully upset.

Well, this is it, Wendy.

Your new home.

Come on.

Careful, it's a little muddy.

Penny for your thoughts, Wendy.

Nothing.

Hey, when I say "Penny for your thoughts,"

you have to tell me.

It's a rule, you see.

A lover's rule.

I was just thinking that, um,

this place could use a...

Could use a woman's touch.

Well, that's why you're here, Wendy.

You make my place special.

Here, I'll take those.

Do you recognize me?

The necklace

at the jewelry store.

"Can I help you?"

Too bad you haven't

still got it on.

I... Tell you what.

I'll buy you a new one, and...

And a beautiful dress and...

After work, you can

dress up for me.

That'll be fun.

Now, in a minute

I'll fix you some lunch.

I've got a little task

I've gotta take care of first.

It won't take long.

Won't be anything fancy.

I'm sure it'll be fine.

It won't be as tasty

as what you're used to.

I bet you're a wonderful cook.

No, not...

Not really.

Come on, you're

just being modest.

Hey, that's funny!

Cooking the pants off me.

Put your hands up!

Right now! Right now!

Put your hands up!

I...

I know you're not gonna shoot me,

'cause deep down, you love me.

You may not want to admit it,

even to yourself,

but your heart knows.

So give me the gun

and stop this foolishness.

Put your hands up now,

or I'll blow!

I'll blow a f***ing hole

through you!

Stupid f***ing b*tch!

Sit down!

You're lucky.

She's still fine.

She's still beautiful.

Well, of course,

not as beautiful as you.

You really were gonna shoot

me, weren't you, huh?

I'm sorry.

Don't say that, Wendy.

Remember, love means never

having to say you're sorry.

I wasn't asking for

an apology, I simply

wanted to know why

you acted that way.

I said, I love you.

Don't you believe me?

Yes.

I'm just...

I'm just scared.

I'm just scared of you.

Yes, I know. They all are.

They should be.

But not you.

I wouldn't hurt you, Wendy.

Not unless you

made it necessary.

I'm afraid I lost my temper.

I shouldn't have called you

that ugly word.

I didn't mean it.

I was upset, that's all.

I... I'm sure you...

You know, don't you?

Hmm?

Yes.

Friends again, hmm?

Yes, friends.

I... I'm glad.

But you must understand,

Wendy, that I can't trust you.

I don't want you to pull another

one of your little stunts.

I got no choice but to, um...

...do something that

I'd hoped to avoid.

What's that?

Well, I can't have you causing

me any more trouble, Wendy.

You better be glad that I love you, otherwise

you could be in a lot more trouble!

Yeah, how about I get you

that lunch I promised, huh?

Mavis!

Yeah?

We got him.

He's driving a brown Datsun.

I got the plates

and registration.

Let's go.

Lunch is served.

I need my hands free to eat.

Oh, no you don't, Wendy.

I'll feed you myself.

Now, open wide.

I... I don't...

Come on.

I don't think...

I don't think I can... Come on.

Come on, come on.

Come on! There you go.

You want some

soda to wash it...

...down it with?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I can't...

Well, you're gonna

have to, Wendy.

It's what happens when you're

such a naughtykins, you know?

Come on.

Eat some more.

There you go.

I don't have a...

I don't have much of an...

I don't have much

of an appetite.

Hey, Wendy, I...

I went to a lot of trouble

to fix you lunch, and...

Now, you're...

You're being ungrateful.

I'm not being...

I'm not being ungrateful, it's...

All right.

I tell you what.

Play a little game.

Okay? I'll show you

how to eat.

Now, this is a train.

That's the tunnel.

And here we go.

Here we go. Come on.

There you go.

There you go.

This is really nice, Wendy.

It's such a pleasure

to be sharing a...

A meal with a beautiful woman.

I could get used to this.

There's a little soda

left, you want it?

Hmm?

Sure.

Sure.

Here you go.

Oh.

Oh, no!

Oh, dear!

Silly me!

I'll fix this.

There we go.

There we go.

Okay.

I want you, Wendy.

I told you we'd be lovers.

It'll be so good.

I think we should get to know

each other a little bit first.

But, this is just happening a

little faster than I thought.

You said it was

gonna happen tonight.

What about

the surprise for tonight?
