The Silent Scream Page #2

-You worried about Doris?

- Doris...

-Doris is a big girl, she can take care of herself.

- I'm sorry.

Oh sh*t, my dress is getting wet, you know

what we might as well be skinny dipping.

- I don't know, do we know each other that well?

- No.

You know, you're really a jerk!

What's the matter?

- I'm not going to hurt you, what's the matter with you?

- Nothing!

Doris...

- Come on...Do you want to wrestle?

- No!

Come on Doris!

-He held the reception around his swimming pool

and he threw his wife in the pool.

-Are you kidding me?

- No I'm not kidding you.

Peter!

I beg your pardon my princess.

Doris, just wait a minute...

I want to have a brief discussion with you...

Now just...

relax that...

- You're...

- Stop it!

Oh...just...wait...Doris!

You don't need to get physical...you know?

...very kind of a sexual feeling, and all of a sudden,

he backed away with this horrified expression on his face.

-Because of my falsies had come off too.

-Oh.

How about a small orgy?

How about a little sleep.

-Can I have my pick?

- No!

- Goodnight.

- Goodnight.

Seashore...

Oh...great!

- So what's the matter?

- I knew I should have gone with Scotty and Jack

I told you the tide was going to come in.

This is another fine mess I've

gotten myself into...

- What are we going to do now?

- What do you think? Were going to get out feet wet.

- Well I better take my shoes off.

- Oh, that's a good idea Peter...

- Are you coming Peter?

- In a second...alright?

Person needs a moment, to compose

themselves before they're going swimming.

Are you coming Peter?!

I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

- You a**hole!

- I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really am sorry.

Doris sweetie...listen...look...

Did anyone ever tell you

you've got great tits...Oww! Doris!

Doris wait a minute!

Doris wait!

Doris!

What did I say?!

Could've dropped!

Hi! How you doing?

-Morning Manny.

-Hi Paul.

They're almost done in there.

Any Surprises?

Well, he's not going to recover,

if that's what you mean.

They covered at least 9 entry wounds,

Whoever did it, wasn't fooling around.

Any idea what kind of knife?

Yeah...

Real big and real sharp.

Terrific.

I talked to Stevens a few minutes ago,

the boys still haven't found anything

down at the beach.

You got any good news?

I got a line on those kids

he was with last night.

You left Mr. Ransom alone on the beach,

Right?

Yeah...

Why?

What do you mean by that?

Well, he was walking you home,

Wasn't he?

- Yeah...but...

- Listen he was drunk for christ's sake, he was giving her a hard time.

Look, I know this isn't easy...

But I'm really trying not to be a bad guy

It's very important that we

find out everything we can.

I'll be ok...

Is there anything else you can

think of that will help us?

Ok, I'll be right back.

I saw them leave, but I've must've been watching tv,

or something because I didn't hear them come back.

- I don't know what time they...

- Excuse me, please.

- Yeah?

- I finished with those kids, alright.

- Any luck?

- Zip.

Why don't we wrap it up here and we split?

Good idea.

Uh, incidentally you only recently

started renting rooms to students?

Um, yes, just this fall.

My mother hasn't been feeling to well and she thought

it was a good idea to put the spare bedrooms to use.

- You won't be needing to talk with her, will you?

She's not feeling very well, she...

I don't think there's any reason to

bother her at all.

Thank you.

By the way,

before you took in borders.

You were here just the two of you?

Well...no.

My sister Victoria,

She used to live with us, but she's gone now.

- Still in town?

- No

She's back east.

Your father,

what about your father?

Well, he died before I was born,

I never really knew him.

Well I guess that's about all for now.

Thank you very much, If we have any further questions

We'll be in touch with you. - Fine.

- Hey Benny, why don't you put that thing in my house?

- Yeah sure, Va-Va-Boom!

Yeah...Va-Va-Boom...

Mason?

Have they gone?

Yes, for now.

- What did they want?

- What do you think?

What about me father?

What does she think this is doing to me?

Hey Scotty!

Hold up!

Hiya, what you doing?

Oh taking a walk on a nice afternoon,

How you doing?

Not bad.

Not good?

No, everything's fine.

You talk to your professors about

missing class this morning?

Oh yeah, that's all straightened out.

- What are you doing now, you going home?

- Yeah, I guess so.

Why?

Well I thought maybe we could go do something,

maybe we could go take a swim.

At the pool?

Well I figured why go to the pool,

we have a nice beach right on our backyard.

Hmm? How about it?

Didn't what happend last night kind of

ruin your enthusiasm for beaches a little bit?

Hey Scotty don't get me wrong, I think what

happend last night was the worst thing I've ever seen

...heard of, but I'm not going

to change the way I live

The whole reason I took that place, is

because it's got a nice beach down below.

Um, yeah...

If you want to go swimming in that beach...

It happens to be a terriffic beach.

What do you say?

Come on, let's do something.

Well...ok...

- Oh you look so sexy!

- Oh yeah...

I drowned...

Oh god.

-There's a towel for you.

- Thank you.

- I can do it, I really can.

- Well, I'll help you.

It's my pleasure for sure

to dry you off.

- Put it around you.

- Aren't you cold?

Well...

Not as much now.

Listen...

Yeah.

You think you want to go?

I think you want to go.

I do!

Ok, let's go.

We don't have a murder weapon.

We don't have any witnesses,

We don't have a motive.

The only thing we got is a body.

All you've got is a body.

Look...

I understand the pressure this department

has been under over this case.

-But it's going to take some time.

- Hell, I know that.

I'm not asking you to solve the damn thing tonight,

just give me something to tell his parents.

There is something that we're following up.

Believe me lieutenant, I'll settle for

a gut feeling, a hunch, anything.

Well, it's that Engles family

that runs the boarding house.

You think one of them did it?

Well let's just day that were umm...

checking them out.

Ok...

Tell him to wait outside.

Your partner wants to see you,

says it's important.

Right.

So what is it?

Track the sister down?

Buddy and Rick are working on that,

Now there's no news yet.

Then what was all this about?

Are you kidding? You were in there for 10 minutes,

I figured you needed some bailing out.

- Thanks old buddy, you're a pal.

What's the boss freaking out about?

Were working on this case as fast as we can.

Well, it ain't fast enough for him, it seems

the victims father is an imporant man.

He's flying in from business meetings in europe

to get some answers.

- When does he get here?

- Tomorrow morning.

and I got word that were supposed to get

some concrete leads by then.

- Tomorrow morning?

- That is what the man said.

Sounds like were going to have

one terrific night tonight.
