Wild Things: Foursome Page #5

-Open and shut.

Yeah. Well, why did he drive

all the way down to the swamp?

Why didn't he just

shoot himself at home?

Detective, l invited you down here

as a courtesy...

...because, well, this is your boy, but

as far as the Everglades City P.D.

is concerned...

...it's stone crab time.

-Did you notify the next of kin?

-She identified the body this morning.

There you are, sir.

Can l help you, detective?

l am sorry for your loss.

l didn't know condolence calls

were part of the job.

Must be one of the benefits

of being the ninth richest person...

...in the State of Florida.

This whole thing worked out

kind of nice for you.

How all this worked out, isn't it?

By nice you mean

losing my husband?

No, no, no.

By nice l mean by you finally

nabbing yourself a rich boy and...

...all of his riches.

So where'd you get that?

The old cabin by your house.

The cabin where you and Brandi Cox

plotted to find you a husband.

-So what?

-Motive.

That doesn't prove anything,

detective. Except that l am poor...

...and that l pretended not to be

because l was embarrassed by it.

l just wanted to find myself

a good guy.

That a crime?

No, it's not a crime.

And actually, coming from anyone

but you, it might be touching.

You enjoy your trip

down memory lane.

l will see myself out.

-Hello?

-Walker came by to visit.

He had the file on Carson.

How?

-He was in the cabin.

-What?

You left that there? Are you crazy?

-We're going to get caught.

-lt's just a file. Doesn't prove anything.

We have to stick to the plan.

l don't like this, Rach. l am scared.

l told you about Walker

so you'd be prepared...

...in case he came by to see you.

I am not sure I can do this.

-l want to meet, okay? l need to.

-We can't. lt's too risky.

l need to see you.

l am not f***ing around.

Okay, okay.

-Calm down. Where?

-The cabin.

Are you crazy? He's been there.

l know. We can make sure there's

nothing we need to get rid of.

-All right.

-One hour.

Hey.

l can't believe

we used to hang out here.

Remember what else

we used to do?

Brandi, this isn't funny.

Listen, if we keep up this sh*t

we're going to get caught.

Sit down.

Sit down.

How long since

we have been here together?

l don't know. A couple of years.

Look, l need to know that you're--

You taught me

so many things, remember?

l do. Listen, l need to know

you're not going to crack.

l am okay, now that l see you.

Can't l move into your house?

How do we explain that?

We will figure it out.

You're not going to let up

until l give in, are you?

You need to relax.

Nice try.

Brandi, what are you doing?

The same thing you were going to

do to me. You think l am stupid.

l don't know what you're talking about.

Just put the gun down.

Problem is, l don't trust you.

You always were

such a selfish b*tch.

No loyalty.

l have been thinking

and that $5 million is plenty for me.

Call me simple.

l am going to get all the money.

So l will give you everything,

whatever you want.

l want you dead.

l can't have you blabbing

your mouth to everyone.

lt's too bad.

You really are a hot piece of ass.

Rachel.

Come on out, baby.

Rachel.

l don't even care about the money.

l just want to see your pretty little face.

No.

No.

Detective, a girl walked in,

says she needs to talk to you.

-Said it's urgent.

-She give you a name?

Rachel Thomas.

Really?

l didn't think getting you in here

would be quite this easy.

Brandi Cox tried to kill me.

Detective.

Would you excuse me for a minute?

Hello, Brandi.

Have l got a story for you, detective.

When we were 16...

...one of Ted Wheetly's companies

came to Glade City...

...bought up all the commercial

fishing rights.

Put Brandi's father out of business.

He killed himself.

Brandi wanted revenge.

My father had nothing to do with this.

l mean, yeah, he killed himself...

...but it wasn't just because

of Ted Wheetly.

Even if l did blame Wheetly,

what was l going to do about it?

She thought she looked

too trailer-trash...

...to nab any rich white guy

or any of his friends.

So she wanted me to do it for her.

I told her straight up

I wasn't going to help her.

But l started reading

all this stuff about Carson...

...and l guess you could say

l fell for him.

So l came to Blue Bay to find him.

l came to Blue Bay because l knew

l had to get out of the Glades.

l had a friend here.

Well, l thought l had a friend here.

Brandi was always jealous

of my relationship with Carson.

From the beginning,

she wanted to kill his father.

But then...

...after she found out

that Carson and me were in love...

...she wanted to kill him, too.

l thought the whole thing was funny.

l mean, here's Rachel,

this girl from the trailer park...

...convincing all these rich kids

that she was one of them.

l was proud of her

until l realized her plan...

...to kill Ted Wheetly

and take his money.

She convinced Carson

to kill his father.

But it was easy

because Carson hated his dad.

Carson and Rachel

came to me first.

He blamed his dad

for killing his mom.

-And Carson wanted him dead.

-Not at first.

But Rachel worked on him.

And in the end he did.

And when l said no,

l wouldn't do it...

...that's when they hooked up

with Shane Hendricks to help them.

l said no, but it didn't matter.

Rachel got Shane Hendricks

to do it.

Why, at any time,

didn't you go to the police?

Detective, l am just

a poor girl from the swamp.

l grew up thinking that all cops

wanted to do was just throw you in jail.

What the hell is going on?

l need a bulldozer

to get through all this horseshit.

-Neither of them's telling the truth.

-They both are.

-And they're both lying their asses off.

-What do you think happened?

l think that they preyed

on this innocent kid Carson.

Now he's out of the way,

they're trying to screw each other...

...out of the money.

That's what l think.

What about the other kid,

Shane Hendricks?

No, he's a dupe.

These girls are much too smart

to clue in a joker like that.

What can you prove?

Nothing. Absolutely nothing,

not yet.

l have to cut them loose.

We can't hold them without charges.

-l got confessions.

-Accusations, unsubstantiated ones.

One of those girls....

The ninth richest girl in Florida. Yeah.

Yeah, l know. l know, and

she's getting away with murder.

All right. Anybody know we got the

ninth richest girl in Miami in custody?

-All right, Brandi.

-l have proof.

All this happened so fast

that Rachel didn't get a chance to...

...feed the evidence to the gators.

And you know where it is.

She made me promise not to tell,

but l have to do the right thing.

You really expect me

to believe that?

l am telling you the evidence is there.

Everything you need to close

the case and be the hero.

Where?

The cabin.

In that cabinet is a blue gym bag.

Inside is a hard drive with the security

disks from Shane's garage...

...the night of Ted's murder.

They show Carson and Rachel...
