be back there around six.

So behave yourself and have fun,

and watch your manners.

Oh and honey could you maybe

save Daddy a piece of cake.

- Yes sir.

- You spoil the hell outta me.

- Well see you Dad.

- Okay son.

- There, you can take your finger out now.

- Uh no I can't.

- Yes you can I'm finished.

Very cute Hank.

- Hello kid, where you out hiding,?

, baby.

- Well well well here we are.

Hello Joanne.

- George.

- Uhm, the wife made these, cookies.

- The wife?

Bettie Palmer, you

remember Bettie, cheerleader,

nice look, she's home sick in bed today.

- Yes I remember.

- Oh here's Melissa's gift.

Oh thank you, why don't

you kids go have something

to drink.

- Oh thanks.

- Thank you.

You know, Bettie didn't hold

up half as good as you did.

That's a pretty dress.

- It's great huh?

- It's beautiful.

- Well well well would you look at them.

- It's pretty amazing.

- Yeah, let's go get a drink.

You know I think I'm

gonna get that present

and give it to Melissa.

- I think I'll just stand here.

- Oh you mustn't.

- Oh I'm fine sir.

This is a lovely party.

- You have Mrs. Morgan to thank for that.

It's so old-fashioned, it's

like out of an old movie.

She wanted it just

like a sweet 16 party.

Is your father here?

No sir he had some

business he had to finish up

but he should be here soon.

He didn't say anything about

recovering some of my things?

No, I mean, he was really

busy so we didn't get

to talk very much.

- Ah I see.

Would you excuse me, I'd

like to go wish Melissa

a happy birthday.

- Of course.

- Thank you.

- Happy birthday Melissa.

- Thanks Marc.

- It's beautiful.

- It's a handkerchief.

My mother gave it to me

when I was a little girl,

I thought you'd like it.

- Hey what about me?

Well here we are, county

records for the last

two million years, I don't

know why you don't just

trust the information

the computer kicked out.

Well, it's the same

MO, but only one victim.

But everything else

fits, same multiple stabs,

same area, even the same age victim.

- I know.

- You know.

- I know.

- Then what's wrong?

- Something just isn't right.

Okay, this Jason guy,

his mother is killed by

a drunk driver who is later

released no charges filed.

Awhite drunk, a white

court, and a white judge.

There's your motive.

I mean I'd be upset, I'd

be really upset if some guy

who murdered my mother

got off scot free, right?

Well why now, I mean

why is he killing now.

- Who knows why people snap?

Oh come on, come on sweetheart

let's go have a nice

romantic steak dinner

huh, we'll have some wine

and then we'll go back to my place later,

and I'll show you my guns.

Kathy, I've been

looking all over for you.

- Hi Sandy what's up?

On those knives, we

found blood on one of them,

we're testing for it now.

- Did you?

- I heard her.

I'd better call Frank.

- Good girl.

- Soup's on Jason.

Sheriff's office.

- Frank, this is Dan.

I want you to stay extra sharp tonight.

' WhV YOU got something?

I don't know yet, but

I don't want any trouble.

- I got it, it's pretty quiet out.

Look Frank we found some

blood on one of the knives,

it could be a murder weapon, I don't know,

I'll know more in an hour,

I'll get back to you then okay?

' L got you.

See you later.

- Was that Dan?

- Yeah.

- So when do I get out?

It'll be just a little while

move back a little bit Jason.

Billy they're all out,

waggling their little asses

all over the place man, all

you gotta do is go up to them

and slap and tickle a little.

- That little girl turns me on.

- Kathy.

- Ready for dinner?

Listen can you get me

the film two years before

and the film two years after this one.

- Sure.

Now listen honey about

dinner why don't you just

get us a couple of sandwiches

and some coffee okay.

- I'll see what I can scrounge up.

- Hey!

So you wanna go for a little walk?

- Now?

- Sure.

- Let's go.

I've been wanting to

talk to you all night

but Marci keeps getting

in the way as usual.

Oh Marci's sweet

though, I really like her.

Both of you made this a

really nice birthday for me.

- Glad to hear.

I'm sure I won't forget

it for a long time.

Oh I hope not!

- Hah, well well well, Joanie Platt.

You know, you certainly

have come up in the world.

And you know what George,

you haven't changed a bit.

- Why don't you take off that ring?

Ah, my father had to

go Dallas for a job.

- Now that drunk?

- George!

Don't you ever talk about my father, ever.

Hey you know, I'd really

like to have a drink

with you sometime.

- George leave me alone!

- What a lowlife.

And after my Caesar salad,

I would have some more wine,

I love wine and of course

I'd smother my baked potatoes

with lots of sour cream and

chives, and lots of butter.

I love butter!

- Goddammit it just doesn't add up.

Why don't I get that?

Library, Hopkins.

It's squirrel blood.

- Squirrel?

- Yep.

- Are you sure.

- Hmm-mm, and those NCICs?

- Yeah what do you got on that?

File was terminated

1956 when the suspect died.

- Hmm-mm.

- Anything else?

No, no that's okay, yeah

yeah I'll see you tomorrow,

bye bye Sandy, thanks.

- Animal blood on the knife?

- Hmm-mm.

- That figures.

But you did, did you

figure on that other NCIC,

that there's nothing there.

- Nothing?

The file was terminated

in 1956, the suspect died.

- 19?

1956?

- Right.

- Died?

Are you sure.

- It just came in.

What is it?

Are you onto something?

- Jesus Christ.

- What, what?

- That's gotta be it.

That's gotta be it!

- What?

What is it?

Honey, honey?

- , now listen carefully.

I want you to keep trying the office

and I want you to get a hold of Frank

and I want you to tell him,

get out to the Morgan place

as fast as he can, and

tell him I'll be there

in about an hour.

- Okay.

And if I'm right about,

well, I'll call you.

- Hey you take it easy, be careful.

I love you!

Thanks for dinner.

- Come on!

- Where are you going?

- We're gonna swim.

- The hell you want?

You scared the sh*t outta me.

- You killed him didn't you?

- You haven't heard?

The old man hung himself.

- He never hurt anybody.

- He was just a dirty old Indian.

- Oh my God.

- Come here darling.
