NARRATOR:
Previously on Pushing Daisies:
2
00:00:03,830 --> 00:00:05,120
Who the hell are you?
3
00:00:05,290 --> 00:00:08,120
Dwight Dixon. I was a friend
of your father's 25 years ago.
4
00:00:08,290 --> 00:00:11,290
-I'm actually trying to find him.
-I'm afraid we lost touch.
5
00:00:11,460 --> 00:00:13,800
I haven't seen
or heard from the man in 20 years.
6
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:16,510
I'm here for something:
a common brass pocket watch.
7
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:18,680
Looked a lot like this one,
which is mine.
8
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:20,300
I don't recall a pocket watch.
9
00:00:20,470 --> 00:00:24,060
Charlotte's father, my lover,
was Vivian's fiancé.
10
00:00:24,270 --> 00:00:27,350
-You're a home-wrecker too!
-Vivian can never know.
11
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:29,690
I'm not gonna say anything to Vivan
about what you did.
12
00:00:29,860 --> 00:00:33,520
-Don't come for me, fella. I fight dirty.
-Why'd you fake your death?
13
00:00:33,690 --> 00:00:35,990
Are you and the Pie-Maker
in cahoots together?
14
00:00:36,150 --> 00:00:37,860
I died. He brought me back to life.
15
00:00:38,030 --> 00:00:42,070
-If you don't wanna tell me, just say so.
-What do you mean, I can't come?
16
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,330
There's a grave out there
that you supposed to be in.
17
00:00:44,500 --> 00:00:47,160
People who are dead but not dead
come up against mobs...
18
00:00:47,330 --> 00:00:49,250
...with pitchforks and torches.
19
00:00:49,420 --> 00:00:51,540
VIVIAN:
I have a small confession...
20
00:00:51,710 --> 00:00:54,630
...about Charles' pocket watch.
I do recall it.
21
00:00:55,510 --> 00:00:59,930
We buried it with our niece,
"Lonely Tourist" Charlotte Charles.
22
00:01:03,430 --> 00:01:06,100
NARRATOR: There once was a Pie-Maker
who had a gift:
23
00:01:06,310 --> 00:01:08,680
A touch that brought the dead to life.
24
00:01:08,850 --> 00:01:10,560
The gift followed these rules:
25
00:01:10,730 --> 00:01:12,940
Touch a dead thing once: alive.
26
00:01:13,110 --> 00:01:16,690
Touch a dead thing twice:
dead again, forever.
27
00:01:16,860 --> 00:01:19,280
Keep a dead thing alive
for more than a minute:
28
00:01:19,450 --> 00:01:22,070
Something else has to die.
29
00:01:35,960 --> 00:01:39,090
At this very moment,
at the Longborough School for Boys...
30
00:01:39,260 --> 00:01:41,930
...when it came to the currency
of popularity...
31
00:01:42,090 --> 00:01:44,930
...young Ned was poor,
but not the poorest.
32
00:01:45,100 --> 00:01:47,220
Eugene Mulchandani's thick accent...
33
00:01:47,390 --> 00:01:50,980
...and unfortunate family history
of disproportionate jaw structure...
34
00:01:51,140 --> 00:01:54,150
...made him both extremely difficult
to understand...
35
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,480
...and an easy mark for bullies.
36
00:01:56,650 --> 00:02:00,950
Young Ned knew that playing
with Eugene meant losing his marbles...
37
00:02:01,110 --> 00:02:04,570
...but he considered the sacrificed
aggies, steelies and shooters...
38
00:02:04,740 --> 00:02:07,330
...an act of charity,
for aside from Ned...
39
00:02:07,490 --> 00:02:10,000
...Eugene had only two
other companions:
40
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:15,500
Bilbo, his lethargic Indian python,
and Ackbar, a bunny.
41
00:02:33,651 --> 00:02:35,811
Eugene was devastated
when he learned...
42
00:02:35,981 --> 00:02:39,111
...that upon attempting
to eat Ackbar the Bunny...
43
00:02:39,281 --> 00:02:42,951
...Bilbo the Snake choked,
killing them both.
44
00:02:43,111 --> 00:02:45,661
Under the guise
of burying Eugene's pets...
45
00:02:45,821 --> 00:02:48,661
...young Ned resolved to perform
another act of charity...
46
00:02:48,831 --> 00:02:50,911
...for his language-mangling friend.
47
00:02:51,711 --> 00:02:54,171
He knew that giving Eugene
his friends back...
48
00:02:54,331 --> 00:02:58,631
...would require
two innocent creatures to die...
49
00:03:02,841 --> 00:03:06,841
...and a lie about how he found them
both barely breathing...
50
00:03:07,011 --> 00:03:09,181
...when he went to bury them.
51
00:03:09,351 --> 00:03:12,061
But as long as the benefits
outweighed the costs...
52
00:03:12,231 --> 00:03:17,361
...he also believed an act of charity
outweighed the consequences.
53
00:03:19,521 --> 00:03:24,491
Twenty years, 16 weeks,
four days and nine hours later...
54
00:03:24,661 --> 00:03:27,991
...the boy had grown
into the Pie-Maker...
55
00:03:28,161 --> 00:03:31,661
...and the Pie-Maker was,
at this very moment...
56
00:03:32,541 --> 00:03:34,411
...troubled.
57
00:03:34,581 --> 00:03:37,581
-You're stress baking.
-I don't know what you're talking about.
58
00:03:37,751 --> 00:03:41,961
You've been up since before the sun
and there's a traffic jam of pies.
59
00:03:42,881 --> 00:03:43,921
You're worried.
60
00:03:44,091 --> 00:03:46,591
"Worried" would imply an urge
toward action.
61
00:03:46,761 --> 00:03:48,391
"Troubled" seems more apt.
62
00:03:48,551 --> 00:03:50,011
About a man named Dwight...
63
00:03:50,181 --> 00:03:53,061
...asking questions about your dad
and is dating my Aunt Vivian?
64
00:03:53,231 --> 00:03:54,601
Oh, you're stress baking.
65
00:03:54,771 --> 00:03:57,401
If he's dating your aunt,
he's going to see a picture.
66
00:03:57,561 --> 00:04:00,521
If he doesn't have amnesia,
he's going to recognize you...
67
00:04:00,691 --> 00:04:03,191
...if he hasn't already.
Why is he dating your aunt?
68
00:04:03,361 --> 00:04:05,901
Not to suggest
that she's not perfectly lovely...
69
00:04:06,071 --> 00:04:07,741
...but it does seem coincidental.
70
00:04:07,911 --> 00:04:10,071
Does Vivian's boy toy
have something to do...
71
00:04:10,241 --> 00:04:12,081
-...with why you faked your death?
-No.
72
00:04:12,241 --> 00:04:15,451
Maybe he's been after you all along.
Maybe he works for the IRS.
73
00:04:15,621 --> 00:04:18,421
If anyone can figure out
whether you're dead, it's the taxman.
74
00:04:18,581 --> 00:04:22,251
Maybe he thinks you are dead. He's one
of those paranormal investigators.
75
00:04:22,421 --> 00:04:24,921
He's the old priest,
and the young priest is coming.
76
00:04:25,091 --> 00:04:29,091
That would be a waste of religion,
because she's not dead.
77
00:04:29,261 --> 00:04:32,561
-I find myself urged to action.
-Yeah, me too.
78
00:04:32,721 --> 00:04:35,271
Public records.
We've gotta find out who Dwight is...
79
00:04:35,431 --> 00:04:38,441
...and if he's after more
than just your aunt's companionship.
80
00:04:38,601 --> 00:04:43,151
Counterintelligence via pie delivery:
like gossiping with a purpose.
81
00:04:43,321 --> 00:04:45,281
My specialty.
82
00:04:47,281 --> 00:04:52,241
-Pie time.
-Olive! What a surprise. And with a pie.
83
00:04:52,411 --> 00:04:56,621
-The second-sweetest treat of my day.
-Something sweeter than a Pie Hole pie?
84
00:04:56,791 --> 00:05:00,621
The first was a surprise visit
from a certain gentleman caller.
85
00:05:00,791 --> 00:05:05,591
Oh, the lovely lady of the Hole,
and with a special delivery to heel.
86
00:05:05,761 --> 00:05:08,471
No need to stand on my account.
Just here doing my duty.
87
00:05:08,631 --> 00:05:10,971
No other reason I can speak of.
88
00:05:11,141 --> 00:05:13,301
And what type of duty
are you in again?
89
00:05:13,471 --> 00:05:14,931
Clergy? Tax services?
90
00:05:15,101 --> 00:05:18,351
Dwight collects
and appraises antiques...
91
00:05:18,561 --> 00:05:22,481
...which I learned right after he told me
he's dating my sister.
92
00:05:22,651 --> 00:05:25,481
Lily's naturally suspicious
of new liaisons...
93
00:05:25,651 --> 00:05:28,531
...but I felt compelled to come clean
about our relationship.
94
00:05:28,701 --> 00:05:32,161
Sneaking around is for politicians
in bathroom stalls.
95
00:05:32,321 --> 00:05:36,121
Not for a brisk and bucolic
autumn-cum-winter afternoon...
96
00:05:36,291 --> 00:05:38,161
...on the park. Ladies.
97
00:05:42,711 --> 00:05:44,461
OLIVE:
Bye.
98
00:05:46,131 --> 00:05:47,961
Seems nice.
99
00:05:48,131 --> 00:05:52,801
I don't trust him further than I can spit,
and I can spit.
100
00:05:55,891 --> 00:06:00,021
Look at the way
he drapes himself all over her. Ugh!
101
00:06:00,191 --> 00:06:03,021
Makes me wanna stick a fork
in my eye.
102
00:06:03,191 --> 00:06:05,191
-I need a drink.
-You're holding one.
103
00:06:05,361 --> 00:06:08,031
I need a stronger one. And a fork.
104
00:06:08,191 --> 00:06:12,861
While Olive pondered one sister blinded
by love and the other by distrust...
105
00:06:13,031 --> 00:06:16,411
...Emerson Cod pondered
the exorbitant amount of cash...
106
00:06:16,621 --> 00:06:17,831
...he'd just been given.
107
00:06:17,991 --> 00:06:20,371
I demand justice for the decedent...
108
00:06:20,541 --> 00:06:24,381
...and I will not rest,
settle or adjourn until I have it!
109
00:06:24,541 --> 00:06:27,001
Mind demanding it
in your inside voice?
110
00:06:27,172 --> 00:06:30,382
I'm sorry. Years of litigation
have made me a loud talker.
111
00:06:30,552 --> 00:06:33,382
What makes a lawyer so willing
to shell out his own green...
112
00:06:33,552 --> 00:06:36,182
-...over a client's death?
-I have a special practice.
113
00:06:36,352 --> 00:06:39,722
Gustav was my one client,
and that client is now dead.
114
00:06:39,892 --> 00:06:43,232
So why you still hanging on?
Looking for a few stray cash capillaries?
115
00:06:43,402 --> 00:06:47,272
No. Gustav was more than a client.
He was a....
116
00:06:47,442 --> 00:06:50,732
He was a cantankerous bombast
with a violent temper...
117
00:06:50,902 --> 00:06:53,612
...and a lust for power and wealth.
118
00:06:53,782 --> 00:06:56,782
In lawyer speak.
I was in love with him.
119
00:06:57,872 --> 00:06:59,792
You talk to the police
about your friend?
120
00:06:59,952 --> 00:07:02,412
The police station is run
by a bunch of monkeys.
121
00:07:02,582 --> 00:07:04,422
You want the best,
you pay the premium.
122
00:07:04,582 --> 00:07:06,082
Why ain't the family paying?
123
00:07:06,252 --> 00:07:09,252
His wife was his family,
and she was the biggest leech of all.
124
00:07:09,422 --> 00:07:10,462
Always after his will.
125
00:07:10,672 --> 00:07:12,592
So she got to the will
through murder?
126
00:07:12,762 --> 00:07:14,592
Well, I never trusted her.
127
00:07:14,762 --> 00:07:16,432
I tried my best, as a lover--
128
00:07:16,602 --> 00:07:19,762
I mean, as a lawyer and a friend,
to protect Gustav.
129
00:07:19,932 --> 00:07:23,482
She ruined his life.
She's gonna ruin his legacy.
130
00:07:23,692 --> 00:07:26,602
I smell a big old "but"
heading in my direction.
131
00:07:26,772 --> 00:07:28,812
Gustav was robbed the night he died.
132
00:07:28,982 --> 00:07:31,112
It happens
when you have a fortune like his.
133
00:07:31,282 --> 00:07:36,202
-What kind of fortune we talking about?
-The kind built upon your tight balls.
134
00:07:36,742 --> 00:07:38,242
The facts were these:
135
00:07:38,412 --> 00:07:41,332
Gustav Hofer
had lived the American dream.
136
00:07:41,492 --> 00:07:44,502
His mechanized yarn-baller
not only gave a generation...
137
00:07:44,712 --> 00:07:48,132
...of frustrated grandmothers
the means to make unwanted gifts...
138
00:07:48,292 --> 00:07:51,802
...at the age of 19,
it was the first of countless inventions...
139
00:07:51,962 --> 00:07:55,302
...that made Gustav Hofer
his first of countless millions.
140
00:07:55,472 --> 00:07:58,142
Before Gustav Hofer
could make one penny more...
141
00:07:58,302 --> 00:08:01,972
...someone arranged
for his permanent retirement...
142
00:08:07,772 --> 00:08:13,652
...and the lawyer who was in love
with him found his retired remains.
143
00:08:16,492 --> 00:08:19,952
-He doesn't look like the richest man.
-They say he had the Midas touch.
144
00:08:20,122 --> 00:08:23,542
You're a little bit like King Midas,
except substitute life for gold...
145
00:08:23,752 --> 00:08:25,662
...and you don't have donkey ears.
146
00:08:25,832 --> 00:08:29,462
Midas was a miser, like Scrooge,
but hungrier. I'm a philanthropist.
147
00:08:29,632 --> 00:08:31,752
Just touch the sucker.
148
00:08:35,512 --> 00:08:37,682
Hello. We'd like to ask
a few questions...
149
00:08:37,842 --> 00:08:40,302
-...but we only have a minute.
-I presume I'm dead.
150
00:08:40,472 --> 00:08:42,972
Let's get to business.
First, the matter of my will.
151
00:08:43,142 --> 00:08:45,812
-It's in your lawyer's--
-Not that will. A new will...
152
00:08:45,982 --> 00:08:48,852
...and you're going to track it down
for me, roger?
153
00:08:49,022 --> 00:08:51,062
-Roger. Now if--
-Kid, you talk too much.
154
00:08:51,272 --> 00:08:55,322
The will is in my trophy room. Go to
the biggest trophy, center of the wall.
155
00:08:55,492 --> 00:08:57,572
Turn it clockwise. Say it back to me.
156
00:08:57,782 --> 00:09:00,362
-Who killed you?
-Who are you? Who is he?
157
00:09:00,532 --> 00:09:02,372
Do you know who I am, Elmer?
158
00:09:02,532 --> 00:09:05,202
You about to be the first man
to ever be murdered twice.
159
00:09:05,372 --> 00:09:08,712
-You want justice--
-I don't want my hard-earned money...
160
00:09:08,872 --> 00:09:10,542
...going where it doesn't belong.
161
00:09:10,712 --> 00:09:14,342
Your generation has never understood
the value of a dollar--
162
00:09:14,502 --> 00:09:17,052
Trophy room, biggest trophy,
turn clockwise.
163
00:09:17,222 --> 00:09:22,092
Smartest one of the bunch.
I like your moxie, sassafras.
164
00:09:22,302 --> 00:09:25,892
Find my will,

168
00:09:44,242 --> 00:09:46,992
The private investigator,
the Pie-Maker and Chuck...
169
00:09:47,162 --> 00:09:50,962
...arrived at Gustav Hofer's mansion
to question his recent widow...
170
00:09:51,122 --> 00:09:55,672
...and long-time porter
regarding the inventor's death.
171
00:09:56,592 --> 00:09:59,972
All right, me and Dead Girl
are gonna go chat up the bellman.
172
00:10:00,132 --> 00:10:02,632
You find that trophy room
and get ahold of that will.
173
00:10:02,802 --> 00:10:04,182
I can do that. That said...
174
00:10:04,352 --> 00:10:06,432
...what's your take
on Dwight dating Vivian?
175
00:10:06,602 --> 00:10:08,852
How long before he looks
at a picture and says:
176
00:10:09,022 --> 00:10:10,852
"There's that girl from The Pie Hole"?
177
00:10:11,022 --> 00:10:14,862
When I see an out-of-context picture
of a nice-looking young girl, I don't say:
178
00:10:15,022 --> 00:10:19,282
"There's that young girl who served me
cappuccino in that one restaurant."

Cool. I never even noticed.

Isn't that weird?
I'm, like, the worst widow ever.

James Andrew, the bellman
you wanted to see, is on his way.
190

Mrs. Hofer said you wanted to see me.
I assume it's not just for my mimosa.

and work in hotel lobbies. I am a porter.

had a close encounter with his light?

is definitely not the killing type.

from a slam-dunk to a badunkadunk.

Dwight's got a strange preoccupation
with your father's pocket watch.

Maybe we give it to him
and he goes away.

00:18:36,774 --> 00:18:42,154
...and so I decided to leave vicariously,
and pushed Charlotte out the door.
330
00:18:43,114 --> 00:18:45,574
Poor Charlotte.
331
00:18:45,784 --> 00:18:50,544
Now. You've gone and set
those pretty peepers a-weeping.
332
00:18:50,714 --> 00:18:55,544
In his search for a brass pocket watch,
Dwight Dixon found a heart of gold.
333
00:18:55,714 --> 00:18:59,674
I've carried this with me
since the funeral...
334
00:18:59,844 --> 00:19:06,514
...as a reminder to stop living vicariously
and start living living.
335
00:19:07,354 --> 00:19:09,514
You've probably seen her face before.
336
00:19:09,684 --> 00:19:11,854
She was all over the news
after she died.
337
00:19:13,854 --> 00:19:19,324
Oh, I've definitely
seen her face before.
338
00:19:30,085 --> 00:19:33,415
Do you know if Gustav donated
to an organization called the Bellmen?
339
00:19:33,585 --> 00:19:35,835
-The Bellmen?
-Every house that's been robbed...
340
00:19:36,045 --> 00:19:38,845
...was called by a Bellmen telemarketer
named Tam Fong.
341
00:19:39,005 --> 00:19:44,515
So Elise didn't do it?
This Tam Fong killed Gustav?
342
00:19:44,685 --> 00:19:47,475
Well, where is he?
I'm gonna find that malfeas-ass...
343
00:19:47,645 --> 00:19:50,145
-...and slam him down!
-Inside voice.
344
00:19:50,315 --> 00:19:52,315
-Not the gavel of justice.
-Outside voice.
345
00:19:52,485 --> 00:19:55,605
I'm talking about Southern-style,
back-alley score-settling...
346
00:19:55,775 --> 00:19:57,445
...doled out by me and a couple--
347
00:19:57,615 --> 00:20:01,195
-Conversational patio voice?
-Before you get to doling out justice...
348
00:20:01,365 --> 00:20:03,865
...the smoking gun don't always point
to the bad guy.
349
00:20:04,075 --> 00:20:06,705
So Tam Fong isn't the guilty party?
350
00:20:06,865 --> 00:20:09,455
Yes. No. Maybe.
351
00:20:09,625 --> 00:20:12,335
All we know is, maybe he had a hand
in marking the mark.
352
00:20:12,505 --> 00:20:15,875
Good news is, we have reason to believe
Gustav completed a second will.
353
00:20:16,085 --> 00:20:20,295
A second will? Hopefully, that
tarnished trophy wife of his is excluded.
354
00:20:20,465 --> 00:20:21,885
Wait, wait. I'm his lawyer.
355
00:20:22,095 --> 00:20:24,845
If there were a second will,
I would have drafted it...
356
00:20:25,015 --> 00:20:27,975
...and drawn a tidy 20 percent
commission for my troubles.
357
00:20:28,145 --> 00:20:29,895
So how would you know differently?
358
00:20:30,105 --> 00:20:33,065
Let's just say our procedures
would be inadmissible in court.
359
00:20:33,225 --> 00:20:35,235
The will was taken during the robbery.
360
00:20:35,395 --> 00:20:37,315
You people mix the good with the bad.
361
00:20:37,485 --> 00:20:41,025
The world would be better if everybody
dabbed calamine on bad news.
362
00:20:41,195 --> 00:20:44,235
Gustav Hofer deserved better
than the wife he had...
363
00:20:44,405 --> 00:20:48,865
...and the wife he had
didn't deserve the money he earned.
364
00:20:49,035 --> 00:20:52,245
You find that second will,
I'll double your fee.
365
00:20:52,415 --> 00:20:54,835
-We'll find that will.
-We'll find that will.
366
00:20:56,255 --> 00:20:59,005
Tam's calling the houses,
even if he's not robbing them.
367
00:20:59,175 --> 00:21:01,335
What if we put our names
on the do-call list?
368
00:21:01,505 --> 00:21:03,595
No burglar would take the bait...
369
00:21:03,755 --> 00:21:07,265
-...if they saw your tiny-ass apartments.
-We could use my aunts' house.
370
00:21:08,845 --> 00:21:10,725
Is there a sting? I wanna sting. Can I?
371
00:21:10,895 --> 00:21:13,935
-That's a very bad idea.
-It's a good idea, made doubly good.
372
00:21:14,145 --> 00:21:16,775
You figure out
who brought the lights down on Gustav.
373
00:21:16,935 --> 00:21:19,275
I'll shine a light
on the true identity of Dwight.
374
00:21:19,445 --> 00:21:21,945
I have an old cigar box
with my dad's letters...
375
00:21:22,115 --> 00:21:23,615
...it's hidden in my bedroom.
376
00:21:23,775 --> 00:21:27,285
Now, if my dad did know Dwight,
there'll be something about him inside.
377
00:21:27,455 --> 00:21:30,455
The Pie-Maker considered
the wooden box in her old room...
378
00:21:30,665 --> 00:21:34,625
...a better alternative to the wooden
box that contained her father...
379
00:21:34,795 --> 00:21:37,875
...so a sting was set.
380
00:21:43,295 --> 00:21:45,635
Mr. Fong, I am so sorry to interrupt.
381
00:21:45,805 --> 00:21:48,095
I'm Tessa Carville,
wife of Clarence Carville...
382
00:21:48,265 --> 00:21:50,765
...who I'm sure you're aware
owns Carville Steel.
383
00:21:50,935 --> 00:21:53,975
I believe someone from here
called me yesterday?
384
00:21:54,145 --> 00:21:57,725
Mrs. Carville, of course.
Please, take a seat.
385
00:21:57,895 --> 00:21:59,315
I won't be staying long.
386
00:21:59,485 --> 00:22:02,815
Just long enough to explain
why I hate phone solicitations...
387
00:22:02,985 --> 00:22:06,155

and panhandlers.

by sponging ne'er-do-wells...

...and sanctimonious bleeding hearts

00:22:17,835 --> 00:22:20,505

of my immense wealth...
393
00:22:20,665 --> 00:22:24,795
...buy this building, knock it down,
and turn it into a glue factory so big...
394
00:22:24,965 --> 00:22:27,305
...the whole city
will be smelling horse.

If you please leave your number...

00:22:29,345 --> 00:22:32,515

calls you again. Psych.

00:22:32,725 --> 00:22:35,475
-Did you say "psych"?
-No.

early this evening...

00:22:40,775 --> 00:22:44,315
...and I expect it to be dealt with
before I return tomorrow.

Here is my card.
402

The trap was set...
403
00:22:53,745 --> 00:22:57,035
...so the Pie-Maker and Chuck
returned to her childhood bedroom...
404
00:22:57,205 --> 00:23:00,705
...not to catch a thief, but to uncover
Dwight Dixon's true intentions.

into a cheese locker.

It's nice that they filled this room
with something you all loved so much.

between now...

489
00:27:39,366 --> 00:27:42,786
-Huh?
-These were the facts:
490
00:27:43,246 --> 00:27:45,786
WRIGHT: Gustav was in the midst
of a crisis of faith.
491
00:27:45,956 --> 00:27:49,916
His decision to rewrite his will made him
question whether his wife loved him...
492
00:27:50,087 --> 00:27:52,417
...and if he had
any true friendships at all.
493
00:27:52,587 --> 00:27:54,507
And that's when we met.
494
00:27:55,007 --> 00:27:57,677
He wanted to make a contribution
but I wouldn't let him.
495
00:27:57,887 --> 00:28:00,677
He said, "Where I come from,
people get paid for services."
496
00:28:00,887 --> 00:28:04,517
But I said, "Charity is an impulse,
not a return for a friendly act."
497
00:28:04,687 --> 00:28:07,767
So we talked. He told me his problems
and I offered a solution.
498
00:28:08,017 --> 00:28:11,017
I agreed to rob him. He would appear
to be an innocent victim.
499
00:28:11,187 --> 00:28:14,937
If his wife stayed faithfully by his side,
his concerns could be laid to rest.
500
00:28:15,107 --> 00:28:18,107
I'd return half his fortune,
keep the other half for charity.
501
00:28:18,527 --> 00:28:23,037
But Gustav's wife intervened
and I had to get out.
502
00:28:24,657 --> 00:28:27,367
I read in the paper the next day
what happened to Gustav.
503
00:28:27,537 --> 00:28:29,877
Even if you didn't kill him,
you're a criminal.
504
00:28:30,037 --> 00:28:32,207
My duty is to the downtrodden,
the meek...
505
00:28:32,377 --> 00:28:35,377
...those unable to reach their bootstraps,
let alone pull them.
506
00:28:35,547 --> 00:28:39,717
I take what people can afford to lose.
That certainly doesn't include their lives.
507
00:28:39,927 --> 00:28:42,387
-Do you like puppies?
-Yeah.
508
00:28:42,557 --> 00:28:45,057
The county animal shelter
is to be shut tomorrow...
509
00:28:45,227 --> 00:28:47,557
...unless I get them money
to pay their mortgage.
510
00:28:47,727 --> 00:28:51,517
With nowhere to house these animals,
dogcatchers are calling it The Big Sleep.
511
00:28:51,687 --> 00:28:52,857
You can save them?
512
00:28:53,027 --> 00:28:57,237
Only if the help outweighs the hurt,
the act of charity always makes sense.
513
00:28:57,447 --> 00:28:59,907
You let him go?
What if he's a cold-blooded murderer?
514
00:29:00,067 --> 00:29:03,237
-Shut it. Kitchen.
-It was charity. There were puppies.
515
00:29:03,407 --> 00:29:05,997
And, besides, my Grueneberg ganglia
wasn't activated.
516
00:29:06,157 --> 00:29:07,497
Well, that sounds personal.
517
00:29:07,657 --> 00:29:10,997
One of them feminine conversations
you need to have with lady friends.
518
00:29:11,167 --> 00:29:14,337
Nerves at the tip of your nose
detect aggressive pheromones.
519
00:29:14,507 --> 00:29:16,417
As in, you can sniff out danger?
520
00:29:16,587 --> 00:29:20,547
I could smell a swashbuckling do-gooder
in the wrong place at the wrong time.
521
00:29:20,717 --> 00:29:23,047
-Puppy crap.
-You shouldn't have let him go.
522
00:29:23,217 --> 00:29:25,887
-It was a mistake.
-You're really angry at me.
523
00:29:26,057 --> 00:29:28,267
I'm stress baking in my head.
524
00:29:28,477 --> 00:29:31,437
-You're stress baking me.
-I'm channeling fear into anger.
525
00:29:31,607 --> 00:29:32,937
And anger leads to hate.
526
00:29:33,107 --> 00:29:35,437
Hate leads to stress baking
the people you love.
527
00:29:35,607 --> 00:29:38,397
Bad, but better than releasing,
which you did for the Bellman.
528
00:29:38,567 --> 00:29:42,907
Maybe Rob was telling the truth.
Maybe it was Gustav's wife.
529
00:29:43,077 --> 00:29:45,907
You did say that the bellman/porter
was hiding something.
530
00:29:46,077 --> 00:29:50,117
He may have had an alibi
but he may also know who killed Gustav.
531
00:29:51,417 --> 00:29:52,787
Eh.
532
00:29:57,257 --> 00:29:59,877
Stakeouts are only fun when
there are binoculars for everybody.
533
00:30:00,047 --> 00:30:02,467
Stakeouts are fun if you got
a game to listen to...
534
00:30:02,637 --> 00:30:05,097
...and the stake is next to
a hot-dog stand.
535

This seems like a good time
to have weighty conversations.
536
00:30:08,597 --> 00:30:11,057
-No, it don't.
-If Dwight figures out I'm not dead...
537
00:30:11,227 --> 00:30:13,437
...it may be the best thing
that ever happened to me.
538
00:30:13,607 --> 00:30:16,397
You're talking a lot like a dead girl
that wants to go back.
539
00:30:16,567 --> 00:30:20,567
-What's the worst that could happen?
-Pie-Maker becomes a show in the circus.
540
00:30:20,737 --> 00:30:23,907
-I earn wages peddling tickets.
-This is a cavalier conversation about...
541
00:30:24,067 --> 00:30:27,487
-...a deep, dark, touchy subject for me.
-How deep, dark and touchy is it?
542
00:30:27,657 --> 00:30:30,997
Since I was little, I'd have this dream
somebody found out what I could do.
543
00:30:31,157 --> 00:30:33,827
It starts off with
lots of ice cream and balloons...
544
00:30:33,997 --> 00:30:35,667
...and ends in a small room...
545
00:30:35,837 --> 00:30:38,417
...where bits are cut out of me
until there's nothing.
546
00:30:38,587 --> 00:30:42,337
That's awful. If Dwight finds out
about me, then he finds out about you.
547
00:30:42,507 --> 00:30:45,337
You still won't wake my dad
and find out what Dwight wants.
548
00:30:45,547 --> 00:30:47,807
You're putting my well-being
before your fears.
549
00:30:47,967 --> 00:30:51,177
That's so courageous and romantic.
550
00:30:51,477 --> 00:30:52,597

00:30:52,767 --> 00:30:55,347

Hello, motive, nice to see you again.

All that remained for Emerson Cod

He's probably cleaning the toilet.

Hello?
578
00:32:14,268 --> 00:32:17,688
While Olive Snook was unable to provide
the pen and paper she sought...
579
00:32:17,848 --> 00:32:23,608
...she'd received the mysterious
Dwight's message loud and clear.
580
00:32:28,568 --> 00:32:31,908
One hour, 23 minutes
and 42 seconds ago...
581
00:32:32,078 --> 00:32:35,158
...Olive Snook made
two alarming discoveries.
582
00:32:35,328 --> 00:32:37,418
First, that in time of duress...
583
00:32:37,578 --> 00:32:40,578
...the Pie-Maker's penchant
for stress baking was matched...
584
00:32:40,748 --> 00:32:44,668
...only by the petite waitress's
predilection for stress binging.
585
00:32:44,838 --> 00:32:47,678
Second, that the dark stranger,
Dwight Dixon...
586
00:32:47,838 --> 00:32:52,598
...had discovered Chuck,
a.k.a. Charlotte Charles', true identity.
587
00:32:52,758 --> 00:32:55,598
It did little to lighten the load
in Olive's heart...
588

...as she anxiously awaited
the Pie-Maker's return.

he so eagerly sought...

...Dwight Dixon set his sights
on Vivian's heart of gold.

But sister Lily was not about to let
that treasure go so easily.

00:33:15,998 --> 00:33:19,288
You can turn your fanny right around
and walk away, mister.

We're done buying
what you're peddling.
594
00:33:21,458 --> 00:33:24,668
Now, Lily, that's not entirely true.
More accurate would be:
595
00:33:24,838 --> 00:33:29,468
"I'm not buying what you're peddling,
but Vivian will be right down."

-I think Charlie and me...

A few stark differences, of course.

But we had the same ambitions.

He made bad decisions.
You were a bad decision.

00:34:02,538 --> 00:34:06,378
My bad decisions landed me in prison.
His landed him with a baby girl.

I don't think I ever had the opportunity
to express my condolences.

Lily's encounter with Dwight had stirred
the pot of her sentimental soup...
616
00:34:47,748 --> 00:34:51,588
...one spoonful of which gave her
a terrible case of the yearns...

But when she saw the overturned dirt,
she thought about the pocket watch...

...and the man obsessed
with its whereabouts...
621
00:35:05,558 --> 00:35:08,898

to pointing a gun at Robber Rob...

00:36:00,118 --> 00:36:03,828
-...and almost pulled the trigger.
-As if. I never even saw the robber.

Why is everybody pointing their gun
at me?
643
00:36:09,168 --> 00:36:13,458
There is no way I could pull the trigger
on a gun. I'm too blinged out.

00:36:13,628 --> 00:36:16,718
-You could have taken off the rings.
-Would have taken forever.

00:36:26,939 --> 00:36:32,189
So the private investigator, the Pie-Maker
and Chuck sought out their winking hood...
649
00:36:32,359 --> 00:36:34,439
...at the Bellmen's headquarters.
650
00:36:35,739 --> 00:36:40,239
I'll thank you to keep your sidearm
holstered, sir, lest I be forced to lunge.
651
00:36:41,989 --> 00:36:45,579
Well, at least it ain't another gun.

00:36:52,959 --> 00:36:54,629
From one gentleman to another...
653
00:36:54,799 --> 00:36:57,719
...allow me to apologize
for our current situation.
654
00:36:57,879 --> 00:37:01,889
I'd be receptive to that apology if there
wasn't a knife pointed at my gullet.
655
00:37:02,139 --> 00:37:05,139
You're a lying liar and a murderer.
Both of which are bad--
656
00:37:05,309 --> 00:37:07,729
One is worse.
You slaughtered a senior citizen.
657
00:37:07,889 --> 00:37:09,979
That'll buy you a ringside seat in hell.
658
00:37:10,149 --> 00:37:13,319
You might get a refund on that ticket
if you put the knife down.
659
00:37:13,479 --> 00:37:16,569
Gustav was the victim
of a tragic accident.
660
00:37:16,739 --> 00:37:18,399
Born of good deeds, I might add.
661
00:37:18,609 --> 00:37:20,409
Running from the scene
was no accident.
662
00:37:20,619 --> 00:37:23,409
Did you stop to consider
the consequences of your good deeds?
663
00:37:23,619 --> 00:37:26,409
Those weren't good for Gustav's wife,
lawyer or legacy.
664
00:37:26,579 --> 00:37:30,329
Well, actually, now that you mention it,
I think I can make that right.
665
00:37:30,919 --> 00:37:32,839
Gustav's will. It was in his safe.
666
00:37:32,999 --> 00:37:37,049
Now that that's settled,
I trust my quest to rob from the rich...
667
00:37:37,219 --> 00:37:39,929
...and give to the poor
may continue unabated.
668
00:37:40,089 --> 00:37:42,339
Oh, hell, no.

00:37:42,509 --> 00:37:45,889
You see, I plan on being real rich,
and I wanna see your ass in jail.

I was afraid you might feel
that way, so....

The facts were these:
675
00:38:02,119 --> 00:38:04,909
Upon coming to the realization
that his young wife...
676
00:38:05,079 --> 00:38:07,369
...may only have married him
for his money...
677
00:38:07,539 --> 00:38:11,869
...Gustav found himself questioning
whether he should rewrite his will.
678
00:38:12,039 --> 00:38:15,249
Bellman Rob Wright afforded him
the perfect plan.

his wife's true feelings.

But Daniel Hill discovered
those feelings first.

...with a helium voice
and hooker heels.

One word from me

her adulteress ways...

...but also the way Daniel Hill defended
his good name and honor.

The billionaire resolved to leave
his estate to his esquire.

When the Bellman arrived,
Gustav refused to play his role.

...learned her death had come back
to haunt her...

This left the Pie-Maker no choice.

In order to unearth
Dwight Dixon's agenda...

...he must first unearth
Chuck's father.

I keep waiting for the high
to rush through my system.
721
00:40:56,540 --> 00:41:00,630
And instead, I feel
really nervous and uncomfortable.

We could leave town.
