1
00:00:35,700 --> 00:00:36,865
Sweetheart,
it's just me.
2
00:00:36,900 --> 00:00:38,500
You shouldn't sneak up
on me like that
3
00:00:38,535 --> 00:00:39,667
when I'm writing.
4
00:00:39,702 --> 00:00:40,800
Let me have a peek.
5
00:00:41,100 --> 00:00:43,200
I thought you said you were
going to your lecture.
6
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:45,500
I wanted to see my wife
before I go.
7
00:00:45,900 --> 00:00:47,700
Give my new bride
a kiss good-bye.
8
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,665
Honey, Dan, stop.
9
00:00:52,700 --> 00:00:54,565
Rachel hasn't gone
to bed yet.
10
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,400
Lookit. Now I have hair
like Mommy's!
11
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,500
Rachel, sweetie,
you have beautiful hair.
12
00:01:03,535 --> 00:01:04,600
red hair runs in your family
13
00:01:04,635 --> 00:01:05,700
doesn't it,
Nancy?
14
00:01:05,900 --> 00:01:07,100
Really, Mommy?
15
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,400
My mother had red hair,
but yours
16
00:01:09,435 --> 00:01:10,800
is even prettier.
17
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:12,400
Where is she?
18
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,000
In heaven, sweetheart.
19
00:01:15,500 --> 00:01:17,100
She died when I was a baby.
20
00:01:17,500 --> 00:01:18,500
But guess what?
21
00:01:18,700 --> 00:01:20,200
I think it's
somebody's bedtime.
22
00:01:20,700 --> 00:01:21,365
Go with Annette.
23
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,000
I'll be up in a minute
to say good night.
24
00:01:30,300 --> 00:01:31,600
Did you hear that?
25
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:34,965
Nancy, we've talked about this.
26
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,300
I'm telling you I keep hearing
these noises, Dan.
27
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:38,765
It's an old house, Nance.
28
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,500
I think they're coming
from the attic.
29
00:01:41,700 --> 00:01:44,600
There are no monsters
in the attic, I promise.
30
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:46,365
You know, you should save
31
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,600
all that imagination
for your writing.
32
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,800
I don't know how you hear
anything with the racket
33
00:01:50,835 --> 00:01:52,700
that typewriter
makes anyway.
34
00:01:52,900 --> 00:01:54,400
None of it's any good.
35
00:01:55,300 --> 00:01:56,800
Give yourself a chance.
36
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:58,265
And promise me
37
00:01:58,300 --> 00:02:00,300
you won't let
a few bumps scare you?
38
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,300
What's up
with Cyndi Lauper?
39
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,200
Can we help you
with something?
40
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,300
You're, like, the cops
that investigate
41
00:02:39,335 --> 00:02:41,467
really old murder cases, right?
42
00:02:41,502 --> 00:02:43,701
Detectives, actually. Rush,
43
00:02:43,736 --> 00:02:45,900
- Valens.
- My name's Liza.
44
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,000
I have something
I want to show you.
45
00:02:49,100 --> 00:02:52,300
My grandma Nancy Patterson
was found hung in her attic
46
00:02:52,335 --> 00:02:53,567
in 1962.
47
00:02:53,602 --> 00:02:54,765
A suicide.
48
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:55,665
That's what everyone said,
49
00:02:55,700 --> 00:02:57,465
but the people that live
in the house now
50
00:02:57,500 --> 00:03:02,600
are renovating the upstairs,
and... they found this note.
51
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,700
"I must end it,
my dearest, my butterfly.
52
00:03:06,735 --> 00:03:09,100
"Only in death
will I find peace.
53
00:03:09,135 --> 00:03:10,500
"I hope in time
54
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,000
you'll forgive me. "
55
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,400
It's a suicide note.
56
00:03:14,900 --> 00:03:15,165
But that's not
57
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:16,800
my grandma's handwriting.
58
00:03:17,300 --> 00:03:20,000
Grandma Nancy wrote on the back
of all of our old photosLook.
59
00:03:22,100 --> 00:03:23,565
You guys can test it,
can't you?
60
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,300
You have special instruments
or something?
61
00:03:25,335 --> 00:03:26,800
What about your parents?
62
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:28,465
They think
your grandmother wrote this?
63
00:03:28,500 --> 00:03:31,500
My mom doesn't like me
to talk about Grandma Nancy.
64
00:03:31,535 --> 00:03:32,467
She was only five
65
00:03:32,502 --> 00:03:33,400
when she died.
66
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,200
Tough to lose a parent
at that age.
67
00:03:36,700 --> 00:03:38,400
It's like she never got over it.
68
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,100
Well, we'll take a look.
69
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:42,500
No promises.
70
00:03:42,700 --> 00:03:43,700
Thank you.
71
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,900
I ain't an expert, but
72
00:03:50,100 --> 00:03:52,200
the handwriting don't look
the same to me.
73
00:03:52,235 --> 00:03:54,300
The note definitely sounds
like a good-bye.
74
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,600
If Nancy didn't write it,
who did?
75
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,400
Questioned Documents confirmed
handwriting on the suicide note
76
00:04:34,435 --> 00:04:35,765
wasn't Nancy's.
77
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,900
Strangulation could have
happened before the hanging.
78
00:04:37,935 --> 00:04:39,117
Note tell us anything else?
79
00:04:39,152 --> 00:04:40,265
There's no latent prints,
80
00:04:40,300 --> 00:04:42,800
but the date of the
paper checked out.
81
00:04:42,835 --> 00:04:45,300
The note's at least
30, 40 years old.
82
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,000
Nancy's daughter
Rachel Patterson
83
00:04:47,035 --> 00:04:47,865
found the body.
84
00:04:47,900 --> 00:04:50,500
Had a bad dream thatight.
Went looking for her mom.
85
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:52,200
Hell of a thing
86
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,500
- living with that your whole life. - Nancy's husband
87
00:04:54,535 --> 00:04:56,600
Daniel Patterson was working
late when it happened.
88
00:04:56,635 --> 00:04:58,200
Professor Daniel Patterson?
89
00:04:58,300 --> 00:04:58,965
Are you familiar?
90
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,100
Patterson was a state
Poet Laureate.
91
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:02,700
I take it
that means he was good?
92
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:08,500
"Hollow. No escape
from the dark. I sit alone.
93
00:05:08,535 --> 00:05:09,865
In empty rooms. "
94
00:05:09,900 --> 00:05:11,550
I hadn't really
pegged you
95
00:05:11,585 --> 00:05:13,200
as a poetry type, boss.
96
00:05:13,235 --> 00:05:14,065
Not me.
97
00:05:14,100 --> 00:05:15,300
The ex-wife.
98
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,300
I thought
poetry was supposed to rhyme.
99
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,500
Apparently, he's still giving
lectures as a professor emeritus
100
00:05:22,535 --> 00:05:24,700
of literature
at Powell University.
101
00:05:24,735 --> 00:05:26,000
Where he met Nancy.
102
00:05:26,100 --> 00:05:26,900
One of his students?
103
00:05:26,935 --> 00:05:28,200
Try secretary.
104
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:29,600
Her first husband died
105
00:05:29,635 --> 00:05:30,765
in a car crash.
106
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,200
Left Nancy with a kid
to support on her own.
107
00:05:33,235 --> 00:05:34,365
Nancy married Patterson
108
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,700
in '61. Went back
to being a homemaker.
109
00:05:36,735 --> 00:05:38,067
He had a much bigger house.
110
00:05:38,102 --> 00:05:39,365
Daniel Patterson told police
111
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,200
his wife started acting paranoid
shortly after
112
00:05:42,235 --> 00:05:43,400
they moved in.
113
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,000
Anybody benefit
from Nancy's death?
114
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,300
There was no life
insurance, no inheritance.
115
00:05:48,335 --> 00:05:49,265
No leads.
116
00:05:49,300 --> 00:05:51,700
Have a talk with the husband.
The daughter, too.
117
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,500
Maybe they can shed
someight.
118
00:05:58,600 --> 00:05:59,965
Liza shouldn't have
119
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,500
bothered you about this.
120
00:06:01,535 --> 00:06:02,600
It's what we do.
121
00:06:04,700 --> 00:06:06,100
Well, my mother
killed herself
122
00:06:06,135 --> 00:06:07,400
long time ago.
123
00:06:07,500 --> 00:06:10,600
- There's a chance she didn't.
- A chance?
124
00:06:11,300 --> 00:06:13,100
So you don't know
for certain then?
125
00:06:13,500 --> 00:06:15,100
Mom, at least look
at the note.
126
00:06:15,135 --> 00:06:16,600
I've seen the note, Liza.
127
00:06:16,635 --> 00:06:18,000
It changes nothing.
128
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,300
I- I'm sorry,
but I don't see the point.
129
00:06:21,335 --> 00:06:21,865
Losing your mom
130
00:06:21,900 --> 00:06:24,450
like that, hard to accept.
131
00:06:24,485 --> 00:06:27,000
But I did, and I've moved on.
132
00:06:30,100 --> 00:06:32,300
Honey, you shouldn't be here.
133
00:06:33,100 --> 00:06:34,300
Mom, come on.
134
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,300
Your daughter
just wants to help.
135
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:48,500
Detective, my mother
was very disturbed,
136
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,100
and I've had to accept that
whatever made her that way
137
00:06:53,500 --> 00:06:55,065
might be in us.
138
00:06:55,100 --> 00:06:56,600
You and Liza, you mean.
139
00:06:57,500 --> 00:07:00,300
I made it past
my 27th birthday.
140
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,065
What about my daughter?
141
00:07:03,100 --> 00:07:05,100
It's the age your mother was
when she died.
142
00:07:05,300 --> 00:07:09,400
Everybody assumes
that I want to... bury this,
143
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,800
but I have to live with it
every day.
144
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:14,400
And your stepdad?
145
00:07:14,435 --> 00:07:15,500
Daniel?
146
00:07:15,900 --> 00:07:18,800
He, uh, sent me off
to a boarding school
147
00:07:18,835 --> 00:07:20,600
as soon as I was old enough...
148
00:07:21,700 --> 00:07:24,365
probably because
I reminded him of her.
149
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,900
So it was just the three
of you in the house mostly?
150
00:07:26,935 --> 00:07:28,900
No, daniel was away a lot
151
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:30,700
trying to meet
a deadline
152
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,600
for his book or lecture...
153
00:07:32,700 --> 00:07:35,000
Then it was just you alone
with your mom that night?
154
00:07:35,035 --> 00:07:36,900
Yeah, we were alone a lot.
155
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:43,800
But she was always hearing
strange sounds.
156
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,600
One... two... three...
157
00:07:50,700 --> 00:07:52,100
four...
158
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,065
five... six...
159
00:07:55,100 --> 00:07:59,765
seven... eight... nine...
160
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,400
ten. Ready or not,
here I come!
161
00:08:06,100 --> 00:08:07,700
I can hear you!
162
00:08:09,300 --> 00:08:11,700
Rachel, are you
in the attic?
163
00:08:11,900 --> 00:08:14,400
I told you I don't want you
going in the attic.
164
00:08:17,300 --> 00:08:18,500
Rachel?
165
00:08:22,300 --> 00:08:23,600
Rachel?
166
00:08:26,500 --> 00:08:29,500
Oh, sweetie, what
are you doing in here?
167
00:08:29,535 --> 00:08:30,765
You could suffocate.
168
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:32,800
I wanted a good
place to hide!
169
00:08:33,100 --> 00:08:35,300
I don't want you
coming up here anymore.
170
00:08:35,335 --> 00:08:36,617
Promise me.
171
00:08:36,652 --> 00:08:37,900
Why, Mommy?
172
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:42,500
Come on. Let's go.
173
00:08:53,300 --> 00:08:54,700
What's wrong, Mommy?
174
00:08:56,500 --> 00:08:57,300
What's wrong, Mommy?
175
00:08:57,335 --> 00:08:59,500
Shh-shh-shh!
176
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,100
Shh! There's someone out there.
177
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:04,500
Mommy,'m scared.
178
00:09:04,535 --> 00:09:05,800
Hush, shh-shh-shh!
179
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,000
Who's out there, Mommy?
180
00:09:17,100 --> 00:09:18,065
No one.
181
00:09:18,100 --> 00:09:19,200
Who locked it?
182
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,000
Oh, um...
183
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,200
the door must have jammed.
That's all.
184
00:09:23,700 --> 00:09:26,200
Uh, it's okay, sweetie.
Come here.
185
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,200
Mommy's just out of sorts.
186
00:09:30,500 --> 00:09:33,800
But we're okay. We're okay.
No one's here.
187
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:47,465
Someone was in the house?
188
00:09:47,500 --> 00:09:50,400
No, I think that she probably
knocked the vase over
189
00:09:50,435 --> 00:09:52,100
before she went in.
190
00:09:52,300 --> 00:09:53,400
I'm late
for a meeting.
191
00:09:53,435 --> 00:09:54,500
Someone was in your house.
192
00:09:54,535 --> 00:09:55,265
I've got a deadline.
193
00:09:55,300 --> 00:09:57,500
Maybe someone who had a problem
with your mother,
194
00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,265
a grudge, an argument maybe.
195
00:09:59,300 --> 00:10:04,100
I told you, detective,
the problem was in my mother's head.
196
00:10:04,300 --> 00:10:06,700
Look, I know it's hard, Rachel.
Think back...
197
00:10:06,735 --> 00:10:08,800
Thanks for you time,
Rael..
198
00:10:09,300 --> 00:10:10,300
We'll be in touch.
199
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,400
I can't change
what my mother did.
200
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:14,900
That's the past.
201
00:10:16,300 --> 00:10:17,600
Let it stay there.
202
00:10:27,900 --> 00:10:29,500
For years I searched
for an explanation.
203
00:10:29,535 --> 00:10:31,100
Something that'd make sense.
204
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:32,765
Nothing ever did till now.
205
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,100
You said Nancy had been acting
a little paranoid.
206
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:36,165
No one had a word
207
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,900
for what was happening
to Nancy then... or a cure.
208
00:10:39,935 --> 00:10:41,300
Electroshock therapy,
209
00:10:41,335 --> 00:10:42,600
lobotomies?
210
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,300
It was seen as shameful-
insanity.
211
00:10:46,500 --> 00:10:47,065
Gotta ask,
212
00:10:47,100 --> 00:10:48,700
Professor, but maybe
that someone
213
00:10:48,735 --> 00:10:50,700
she was afraid of was you.
214
00:10:52,500 --> 00:10:55,400
I loved my wife.
I didn't kill her.
215
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:56,850
Plus I was never
216
00:10:56,885 --> 00:10:57,900
around, really.
217
00:10:58,500 --> 00:11:01,300
I was on a deadline,
spent all my nights here.
218
00:11:01,335 --> 00:11:02,600
Deadline for this book?
219
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,400
My collection of poetry:
Empty Rooms.
220
00:11:06,500 --> 00:11:09,100
It was going
to be my gift to her,
221
00:11:09,135 --> 00:11:11,700
my attempt to capture
her spirit,
222
00:11:12,700 --> 00:11:14,900
see the world
through her eyes.
223
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,200
She died before
it was published.
224
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:20,500
Such a fool...
225
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,100
spending my time
writing about the woman I loved
226
00:11:24,135 --> 00:11:26,600
instead of being with her.
227
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:28,300
Sounds like Nancy
spent a lot
228
00:11:28,335 --> 00:11:29,800
of time home alone.
229
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,200
That's why I hired Annette.
230
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:34,800
Annette?
231
00:11:34,900 --> 00:11:36,100
Our housekeeper.
232
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:37,700
Annette have keys to the house?
233
00:11:37,735 --> 00:11:38,700
Yes.
234
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,400
She's the only one
outside the family who did.
235
00:11:41,435 --> 00:11:42,700
The attic, too?
236
00:11:43,300 --> 00:11:45,000
Yes, but you don't think...
237
00:11:45,035 --> 00:11:46,700
We'll need her last name.
238
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:49,065
Also, a sample
239
00:11:49,100 --> 00:11:50,500
of your handwriting.
240
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,100
Of course.
241
00:11:52,700 --> 00:11:54,300
It sounds strange,
242
00:11:54,500 --> 00:11:58,600
but somehow knowing
she didn't do it herself...
243
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,200
is a relief.
244
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,500
Nancy had been so blessed.
245
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,300
Hard to believe someone
wanting to hurt her.
246
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:12,965
You had been working
247
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,000
for the Pattersons
for several months.
248
00:12:15,035 --> 00:12:16,367
Yes, I started shortly
249
00:12:16,402 --> 00:12:17,700
after they were married.
250
00:12:17,735 --> 00:12:18,365
And you had keys
251
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,200
to the house- the attic?
252
00:12:21,100 --> 00:12:22,965
Really now, you don't think
253
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,700
I had something to do
with what happened?
254
00:12:26,700 --> 00:12:29,000
Professor Patterson trusted me.
255
00:12:29,035 --> 00:12:30,717
And you respected him.
256
00:12:30,752 --> 00:12:32,365
He was a gentleman. Kind.
257
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,600
Sure you weren't holding
a torch, Annette?
258
00:12:35,900 --> 00:12:39,700
Professor Patterson only
had eyes for his wife.
259
00:12:40,300 --> 00:12:42,100
She was a beautiful woman.
260
00:12:42,135 --> 00:12:43,165
Full of life.
261
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:44,850
Until she started slipping.
262
00:12:44,885 --> 00:12:46,500
That's what we all believed.
263
00:12:46,535 --> 00:12:47,800
Not you, Annette?
264
00:12:48,900 --> 00:12:50,065
There was one incident
265
00:12:50,100 --> 00:12:53,000
that I had trouble
explaining away.
266
00:12:58,400 --> 00:12:59,265
Ma'am?
267
00:12:59,300 --> 00:13:00,665
The page I typed last night-
268
00:13:00,700 --> 00:13:03,800
It was right here, in my typewriter.
269
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,800
You're sure Rachel hasn't
been playing with my things?
270
00:13:07,835 --> 00:13:09,400
I'm sure, Mrs. Patterson.
271
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,800
I put Rachel to bed.
I should be going now.
272
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:14,900
Good night.
273
00:13:18,500 --> 00:13:19,800
Wait, Annette!
274
00:13:26,300 --> 00:13:27,900
Did you lock all
the windows and doors?
275
00:13:27,935 --> 00:13:29,000
Of course.
276
00:13:29,900 --> 00:13:32,100
- The back door, too?
- Yes.
277
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:35,900
Did you feel that?
278
00:13:35,935 --> 00:13:37,300
That breeze?
279
00:13:51,100 --> 00:13:52,200
Oh, my God.
280
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,050
I don't understand.
281
00:13:58,085 --> 00:13:59,300
I locked everything...
282
00:13:59,700 --> 00:14:00,865
Mrs. Patterson?
283
00:14:00,900 --> 00:14:03,100
"Death lurks in the corners
of your past,
284
00:14:03,135 --> 00:14:06,000
leaving her marks
about your neck?"
285
00:14:14,500 --> 00:14:15,600
Drummond.
286
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:17,500
That name mean anything to you?
287
00:14:17,535 --> 00:14:19,000
First time I ever heard it.
288
00:14:19,035 --> 00:14:19,965
Long time ago.
289
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,450
Maybe your memory's
a little fuzzy.
290
00:14:22,485 --> 00:14:24,900
My memory's sharp as a tack.
Thank you.
291
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:26,200
Sounds
like whoever
292
00:14:26,235 --> 00:14:27,165
this Drummond was,
293
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,300
he was obsessed with Nancy.
294
00:14:29,500 --> 00:14:31,065
There was a man once,
295
00:14:31,100 --> 00:14:34,200
parked out in front of the house
in a brown woodie.
296
00:14:34,900 --> 00:14:36,350
A station wagon.
297
00:14:36,385 --> 00:14:37,765
Buick, I think.
298
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,500
He was just sitting there,
staring up at the study.
299
00:14:40,535 --> 00:14:41,900
You never mentioned this.
300
00:14:42,500 --> 00:14:44,700
Everybody said
she killed herself.
301
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:46,400
So why would I?
302
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:48,900
Any leads on a brown
station wagon?
303
00:14:48,935 --> 00:14:50,165
Well, according to the DMV
304
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,000
there were at least a hundred
of them in the city in '62.
305
00:14:53,035 --> 00:14:54,100
Any of them
belong to a Drummond?
306
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,350
Nope. And the only
Drummonde found
307
00:14:56,385 --> 00:14:58,500
was a 98-year-old man
in a rest home.
308
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:00,300
But we did find this.
309
00:15:00,900 --> 00:15:03,400
Brown Buick station wagon
was issued a speeding ticket
310
00:15:03,500 --> 00:15:05,665
not more than two blocks
from Nancy's house.
311
00:15:05,700 --> 00:15:08,600
Turns out Speedy was
one of Patterson's students.
312
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:10,165
A Bruce Davies.
313
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:10,965
We thought this Bruce
314
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:12,365
might be connected to Drummond.
315
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,400
A nickname...
another student maybe.
316
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,800
Took a look at some yearbooks
and school newspapers.
317
00:15:16,835 --> 00:15:18,000
Found this.
318
00:15:18,100 --> 00:15:19,565
Picture from
the spring social.
319
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,700
Bruce Davies with
his sweetheart Nancy.
320
00:15:21,900 --> 00:15:23,265
Nancy married
Daniel Patterson
321
00:15:23,300 --> 00:15:25,600
less than a year
after this was taken.
322
00:15:25,635 --> 00:15:27,400
Ol' Bruce got the heave-ho.
323
00:15:27,500 --> 00:15:29,400
♪♪♪♪
324
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:38,800
Philly Homicide.
325
00:15:38,900 --> 00:15:40,800
Like to talk
with Bruce Davies.
326
00:15:41,300 --> 00:15:42,800
Are you Mrs. Davies?
Me?
327
00:15:42,835 --> 00:15:44,300
No. Name's Belle.
328
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:46,200
I might've been
somebody's wife if the job
329
00:15:46,235 --> 00:15:48,065
paid better. I work here.
330
00:15:48,100 --> 00:15:50,000
Help out with the cooking
and cleaning.
331
00:15:50,100 --> 00:15:51,500
Something tells me
you haven't always
332
00:15:51,535 --> 00:15:53,100
been cooking
and cleaning.
333
00:15:53,300 --> 00:15:54,600
I spent a lot
of good
334
00:15:54,635 --> 00:15:55,900
years dancing, too.
335
00:15:56,300 --> 00:15:57,300
I'll bet.
336
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,000
Still know how to bring
a smile to a man's face.
337
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:02,800
Talkin' about my cooking,
of course.
338
00:16:02,835 --> 00:16:03,900
Of course.
339
00:16:04,700 --> 00:16:05,700
This way.
340
00:16:14,300 --> 00:16:14,865
Police want to have
341
00:16:14,900 --> 00:16:16,700
a word with you,
Mr. Davies.
342
00:16:16,735 --> 00:16:17,700
The police?
343
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,500
Make a mean apple pie.
344
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,600
And you look like a man
that appreciates good pie.
345
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,600
á la mode.
346
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:30,465
What is this about?
347
00:16:30,500 --> 00:16:32,600
Nancy Patterson.
You knew her.
348
00:16:33,500 --> 00:16:35,400
- Haven't heard that name in years.
- What about
349
00:16:35,435 --> 00:16:37,000
the name Drummond?
That ring any bells?
350
00:16:37,035 --> 00:16:38,400
No. Should it?
351
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:39,365
We'll need you
352
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,500
to come down,
provide a writing sample.
353
00:16:41,535 --> 00:16:42,300
Why?
354
00:16:42,900 --> 00:16:43,365
Because
355
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,300
we think Nancy was murdered.
356
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:46,800
You two dated,
right?
357
00:16:47,100 --> 00:16:48,900
She was a secretary
in the English Department
358
00:16:48,935 --> 00:16:50,665
when I was a grad student.
So what?
359
00:16:50,700 --> 00:16:52,900
So she kicked you to the curb
and married Daniel.
360
00:16:52,935 --> 00:16:54,817
But that wasn't
the end of it.
361
00:16:54,852 --> 00:16:56,526
You sat outside in your car
362
00:16:56,561 --> 00:16:58,165
for hours,
pining away.
363
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,100
I was pining away, all right,
but not for Nancy,
364
00:17:01,135 --> 00:17:03,400
or for that dowdy housekeeper
of hers.
365
00:17:04,300 --> 00:17:07,000
Two down, gentlemen,
one to go.
366
00:17:08,700 --> 00:17:10,865
You were pining
for the husband?
367
00:17:10,900 --> 00:17:13,400
They didn't have a name for that
in '62.
368
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:15,500
They do now.
369
00:17:17,100 --> 00:17:19,700
I was his lovelorn grad student.
370
00:17:20,500 --> 00:17:21,765
Tragic, really.
371
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:23,165
Sayin' it was a two-way street?
372
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,500
- You and the professor?
- In my dreams.
373
00:17:25,700 --> 00:17:27,865
Professor Patterson barely knew
I existed.
374
00:17:27,900 --> 00:17:30,300
Doesn't mean you didn't kill off
the competition.
375
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,400
I was interviewing
for a teaching post
376
00:17:32,435 --> 00:17:34,400
in Cincinnati
the night she died.
377
00:17:34,435 --> 00:17:35,200
You can check.
378
00:17:35,235 --> 00:17:36,300
We will.
379
00:17:38,100 --> 00:17:40,300
I was truly sorry
when I heard about Nancy.
380
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:42,200
Never believed it.
381
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:44,000
Suicide, I mean.
382
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:45,200
Why's that?
383
00:17:45,500 --> 00:17:47,300
Something was going on
in that house...
384
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,400
something strange.
385
00:17:54,300 --> 00:17:55,065
Well, Bruce,
386
00:17:55,100 --> 00:17:58,100
my advice is simple
to a young poet.
387
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,565
Let nothing come
between you and the page.
388
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,400
Is that why you prefer writing
everything longhand, Professor?
389
00:18:03,500 --> 00:18:05,000
The truest connection,
really.
390
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,000
Because when the muse
speaks to you,
391
00:18:07,500 --> 00:18:08,800
she does in a whisper.
392
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:10,200
Or a scream.
393
00:18:11,700 --> 00:18:12,800
Pardon me.
394
00:18:13,900 --> 00:18:15,200
I don't know
what made me say that.
395
00:18:15,235 --> 00:18:16,200
Could it be
your muse
396
00:18:16,235 --> 00:18:17,017
is a banshee?
397
00:18:17,052 --> 00:18:17,765
Of course
398
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:19,800
I don't write. Not really.
399
00:18:20,300 --> 00:18:21,700
- Not like my husband does.
- Actually,
400
00:18:21,735 --> 00:18:23,865
Nancy is a voracious reader.
401
00:18:23,900 --> 00:18:25,465
Seems she's read
nearly every book
402
00:18:25,500 --> 00:18:27,400
- in my library.
- Oh, and somehow manages
403
00:18:27,435 --> 00:18:29,100
to make delightful
pigs in a blanket.
404
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:31,700
I better check on Rachel.
405
00:18:31,900 --> 00:18:33,700
Excuse me. Please.
406
00:18:36,100 --> 00:18:38,000
Nancy grew up
an orphan,
407
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,465
so she got a late start
on the great works.
408
00:18:40,500 --> 00:18:43,200
But it's just made her curious
about all that she's missed.
409
00:18:43,235 --> 00:18:44,165
Speaking of great works,
410
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,600
I heard that your collection
is coming out next spring.
411
00:18:46,635 --> 00:18:48,667
My editor paid you to say that,
didn't he?
412
00:18:48,702 --> 00:18:50,700
Well, it's a good problem
to have, Professor-
413
00:18:51,100 --> 00:18:53,500
people waiting with bated breath
for your next project.
414
00:18:53,535 --> 00:18:55,400
Well, don't hold your breath
for too long.
415
00:18:55,900 --> 00:18:58,900
The muse can be as unpredictable
as my wife.
416
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:00,365
You'll give us
a preview,
417
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,000
won't you?
Of your collection?
418
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:03,600
You're not going
to make us wait.
419
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:04,765
Well, if I shared
it now,
420
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:06,700
that would just spoil
the anticipation.
421
00:19:06,735 --> 00:19:08,400
Daniel!
422
00:19:08,900 --> 00:19:09,900
Nancy?
423
00:19:16,100 --> 00:19:17,200
Nancy?
424
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:18,500
Nancy...?
425
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:21,900
What the hell?
426
00:19:23,900 --> 00:19:26,100
Daniel.
427
00:19:33,100 --> 00:19:35,700
Professor Patterson asked
for me to be discreet.
428
00:19:36,100 --> 00:19:37,900
His wife's problems, you see.
429
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,000
He said it must've been
a misunderstanding.
430
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:42,600
Some misunderstanding.
431
00:19:42,635 --> 00:19:44,100
I respected him,
432
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:46,500
so I never spoke of it again.
433
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:49,865
Been holding out
on us,
434
00:19:49,900 --> 00:19:51,400
- Professor.
- Kinda thing makes us
435
00:19:51,435 --> 00:19:52,365
suspicious.
436
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:53,800
What are you talking about?
437
00:19:54,500 --> 00:19:55,800
Forgot to, uh,
clue us in
438
00:19:55,835 --> 00:19:57,100
on the dinner party.
439
00:19:58,300 --> 00:19:59,700
The noose in the attic.
440
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,100
Doesn't make
a lot of sense.
441
00:20:01,135 --> 00:20:02,165
You keepin'
that quiet.
442
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:03,850
- It didn't mean anything.
- Really?
443
00:20:03,885 --> 00:20:05,500
Someone breaking
into your house,
444
00:20:05,535 --> 00:20:06,900
stringing up a noose,
445
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:08,400
doesn't mean
anything?
446
00:20:10,700 --> 00:20:12,550
I couldn't believe it
at the time.
447
00:20:12,585 --> 00:20:14,400
And after she died?
What about then?
448
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,100
It only made matters worse.
449
00:20:17,135 --> 00:20:18,000
Why?
450
00:20:18,300 --> 00:20:19,700
Because you didn't do anything
to stop it?
451
00:20:19,735 --> 00:20:22,900
No. Because I believed her.
452
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,200
We need to go
to the police.
453
00:20:27,300 --> 00:20:29,200
And tell them what?
There has to be
454
00:20:29,235 --> 00:20:30,165
some rational
455
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:31,750
explanation for this.
456
00:20:31,785 --> 00:20:33,265
Someone was in our house.
457
00:20:33,300 --> 00:20:34,565
You saw it with
your own eyes!
458
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,100
- What more do you want?
- It just doesn't make any sense.
459
00:20:37,135 --> 00:20:38,100
I mean who would do
a thing like that?
460
00:20:38,135 --> 00:20:40,000
I don't know!
461
00:20:41,700 --> 00:20:43,300
I'm so scared, Daniel.
462
00:20:43,900 --> 00:20:46,400
You're always gone
and I'm left here alone.
463
00:20:46,500 --> 00:20:48,350
What do you expect from me?
464
00:20:48,385 --> 00:20:50,200
I expect you to believe me.
465
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:55,000
I do.
466
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:57,800
I'm sorry.
467
00:20:58,900 --> 00:21:00,200
We'll go to the police.
468
00:21:00,235 --> 00:21:01,300
Together.
469
00:21:01,500 --> 00:21:02,400
You...
470
00:21:10,300 --> 00:21:12,100
Give me the keys.
I'll drive.
471
00:21:17,900 --> 00:21:19,200
Um...
472
00:21:21,900 --> 00:21:22,900
What...
473
00:21:23,300 --> 00:21:24,300
What's the matter, Nancy?
474
00:21:30,700 --> 00:21:32,000
You bought rope?
475
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:36,465
I don't understand, Daniel.
476
00:21:36,500 --> 00:21:37,800
"Nancy Patterson. "
That's your signature.
477
00:21:37,835 --> 00:21:39,100
I didn't. I...
478
00:21:39,900 --> 00:21:41,800
I- I didn't buy that.
479
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:47,350
Did...
480
00:21:47,385 --> 00:21:48,300
did I?
481
00:21:52,900 --> 00:21:54,900
Nancy bought the rope?
482
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,200
I wanted there
to be another explanation.
483
00:22:01,100 --> 00:22:02,700
And when you came to me...
484
00:22:05,900 --> 00:22:07,600
I thought maybe there was.
485
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:18,800
Cops had it right
486
00:22:18,835 --> 00:22:19,600
the first time.
487
00:22:19,700 --> 00:22:21,300
Nancy did herself in.
488
00:22:24,100 --> 00:22:26,100
we've been chasing a ghost.
489
00:22:30,300 --> 00:22:33,000
So we've been chasing our tails
on this one, huh?
490
00:22:33,100 --> 00:22:33,865
Great,
491
00:22:33,900 --> 00:22:36,050
'cause I got nothin' better
to do with my time.
492
00:22:36,085 --> 00:22:38,200
Well, Nancy locked herself
and Rachel in the attic,
493
00:22:38,235 --> 00:22:39,617
put the note in
the typewriter,
494
00:22:39,652 --> 00:22:41,000
hung up the noose
at the party.
495
00:22:41,035 --> 00:22:42,800
That's some kinda crazy.
496
00:22:43,100 --> 00:22:45,200
Well, maybe she went
into a fugue state.
497
00:22:45,300 --> 00:22:46,300
Forgot she did
any of it.
498
00:22:46,335 --> 00:22:47,900
So that's that, huh?
499
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,000
Job's open and shut.
500
00:22:50,035 --> 00:22:51,367
Well, pretty much, yeah.
501
00:22:51,402 --> 00:22:52,700
And what
about Drummond?
502
00:22:53,100 --> 00:22:54,900
That "death lurks"
message he left?
503
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:56,500
Looney Tunes made him up.
504
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,000
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
505
00:22:59,300 --> 00:23:00,365
Hey.
506
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:01,200
Can't you read?
507
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,000
Since when is milk
private property?
508
00:23:04,100 --> 00:23:05,300
Saving it, all right?
509
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:06,500
For what?
510
00:23:06,900 --> 00:23:08,200
Apple pie, maybe?
511
00:23:09,100 --> 00:23:11,100
Just keep your hands off of it.
512
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:13,500
Most of the women in this book
513
00:23:14,100 --> 00:23:15,265
just don't seem
like the type to leave
514
00:23:15,300 --> 00:23:18,200
- without saying good-bye.
- Aren't you forgetting the suicide note?
515
00:23:18,235 --> 00:23:19,400
It wasn't hers.
516
00:23:19,700 --> 00:23:20,500
Or her husband's,
517
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:21,800
or the housekeeper's,
518
00:23:21,835 --> 00:23:22,900
or Bruce's.
519
00:23:23,500 --> 00:23:24,600
So who wrote it?
520
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:26,050
It ain't an exact science.
521
00:23:26,085 --> 00:23:27,300
Oh, that's your explanation?
522
00:23:27,335 --> 00:23:28,500
Drop it, Scotty.
523
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,500
It's bad enough we rocked the
boat with the family, you know?
524
00:23:36,100 --> 00:23:37,600
She didn't write
that note, Nick.
525
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:42,900
This isn't about you, Scotty.
526
00:23:44,100 --> 00:23:45,000
Or Elisa.
527
00:23:49,700 --> 00:23:51,000
Or is it?
528
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,300
You're talking about the woman
that hung herself.
529
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,500
Yeah, Nancy Patterson-
you heard about her?
530
00:23:59,535 --> 00:24:00,900
Impossible not to.
531
00:24:01,100 --> 00:24:03,100
Grandpa Hal told that story
a million times.
532
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,165
Crazy lady that came
into the store,
533
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:06,800
bought the rope that
she hung herself with.
534
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,200
And your grandpa was the one
that sold it to her?
535
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,200
- You sure about that?
- Yeah.
536
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:12,865
She didn't believe
him, either.
537
00:24:12,900 --> 00:24:14,665
- What do you mean?
- She came back in
538
00:24:14,700 --> 00:24:17,000
after buying the rope, asking
all these weird questions.
539
00:24:17,035 --> 00:24:18,300
Questions like what?
540
00:24:18,500 --> 00:24:19,800
Same ones you're asking now.
541
00:24:24,700 --> 00:24:25,600
Excuse me.
542
00:24:26,500 --> 00:24:27,365
May I help you?
543
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,065
My name is Nancy Patterson,
544
00:24:29,100 --> 00:24:30,200
and I think there's
been a mistake
545
00:24:30,235 --> 00:24:31,800
on my husband's account.
546
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:32,765
What kind of mistake?
547
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:34,900
I don't recognize
one of the charges.
548
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:36,900
Let's take a look.
549
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:40,200
Patterson...
550
00:24:41,300 --> 00:24:42,100
Huh...
551
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:44,200
That's your signature, right?
552
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,100
Oh, but that...
that's impossible.
553
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:47,565
How's that?
554
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,700
I've never set foot in this
store until this very day.
555
00:24:51,900 --> 00:24:53,000
Maybe it just slipped your mind.
556
00:24:53,035 --> 00:24:54,465
No, it didn't slip my mind!
557
00:24:54,500 --> 00:24:56,200
- That can't be!
- I saw you myself,
558
00:24:56,235 --> 00:24:57,465
miss, with these very eyes
559
00:24:57,500 --> 00:24:59,500
wearing the same hat
you're wearing now.
560
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:01,200
Maybe you just forgot.
561
00:25:03,500 --> 00:25:04,600
Yes.
562
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:07,200
Maybe.
563
00:25:10,100 --> 00:25:11,000
Miss Patterson...
564
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:13,800
forgot your pen, too,
565
00:25:14,100 --> 00:25:15,300
last time you were here.
566
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:21,400
It is yours, right?
567
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:37,565
The pen had the name
568
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:39,500
- "Drummond" on it?
- Yeah.
569
00:25:39,535 --> 00:25:40,700
The cuckoo's nest.
570
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,600
Wait, Drummond's
a mental hospital?
571
00:25:44,700 --> 00:25:47,200
Over in Olney.
Closed down in the '80s.
572
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,400
My grandpa heard Mrs. Patterson
was kind of spacey, but...
573
00:25:50,700 --> 00:25:52,600
apparently she was,
you know,
574
00:25:53,900 --> 00:25:55,100
A week later
she was dead.
575
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:58,065
You were a nurse
576
00:25:58,100 --> 00:26:00,900
at Drummond Mental
Hospital back in '62?
577
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,600
Head nurse,
over 30 years.
578
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:04,865
But Drummond's
579
00:26:04,900 --> 00:26:06,800
been closed a long time.
580
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:08,465
We tracked down
the employment records.
581
00:26:08,500 --> 00:26:11,500
Hoped to find someone who might
know something about this woman.
582
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,000
I remember her
like it was yesterday.
583
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,400
You knew
Nancy Patterson?
584
00:26:17,900 --> 00:26:19,900
No, not really.
585
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:21,865
I was working the front desk
586
00:26:21,900 --> 00:26:25,200
when she came in,
claiming she was being followed.
587
00:26:25,500 --> 00:26:27,700
Even had a pen
as proof of it.
588
00:26:27,735 --> 00:26:29,865
So Nancy did
visit Drummond?
589
00:26:29,900 --> 00:26:31,665
- Yes, she did.
- We think someone
590
00:26:31,700 --> 00:26:34,100
associated with the hospital
might have killed her.
591
00:26:34,135 --> 00:26:34,700
She said
she was being
592
00:26:34,735 --> 00:26:36,100
followed, Edna?
593
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:37,665
Yes, that's what she said.
594
00:26:37,700 --> 00:26:39,600
And she thought it was a patient
595
00:26:39,700 --> 00:26:41,100
or someone
who worked at Drummond?
596
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:45,900
The only thing following Nancy
was her past.
597
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,300
I need to speak
to someone immediately.
598
00:27:02,335 --> 00:27:03,065
Someone has been
599
00:27:03,100 --> 00:27:05,600
following me,
pretending to be me.
600
00:27:07,500 --> 00:27:08,700
Do I know you?
601
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:12,900
You're the spitting image
of her.
602
00:27:12,935 --> 00:27:15,300
- Of-of who?
- Your mother.
603
00:27:15,500 --> 00:27:18,550
- What? I, I don't understand.
- I was her nurse
604
00:27:18,585 --> 00:27:21,600
- for years.
- Oh, no, you must be mistaken.
605
00:27:21,635 --> 00:27:23,100
Um, my mother,
she died
606
00:27:23,135 --> 00:27:24,400
in childbirth.
607
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,265
You never got the note,
608
00:27:27,300 --> 00:27:29,600
- did you, Nancy?
- What note?
609
00:27:29,635 --> 00:27:30,800
How did you know my name?
610
00:27:30,835 --> 00:27:31,765
She left a note
611
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:35,700
addressed to "my dearest,
my butterfly. "
612
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:37,700
I'd always assumed
that was you.
613
00:27:38,500 --> 00:27:39,350
It was you,
614
00:27:39,385 --> 00:27:40,200
wasn't it?
615
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,200
What was my mother doing here?
616
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:45,500
No one told you?
617
00:27:46,500 --> 00:27:47,800
Told me what?
618
00:27:49,100 --> 00:27:50,700
T- told me what?!
619
00:27:51,700 --> 00:27:52,765
Your mother was a patient here.
620
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,465
No, no, I told you
she died in childbirth.
621
00:27:55,500 --> 00:27:57,200
You were so young, Nancy,
just a little girl...
622
00:27:57,235 --> 00:27:58,265
You're lying!
623
00:27:58,300 --> 00:27:59,900
If she's here, where?
624
00:27:59,935 --> 00:28:01,300
Where is she?
625
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,700
I found her in the storeroom
one morning.
626
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:07,865
No...
627
00:28:07,900 --> 00:28:10,100
She hung herself
from the rafters.
628
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:16,700
I never should've told her
like that.
629
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:18,065
I just couldn't believe
630
00:28:18,100 --> 00:28:20,100
she didn't know
about her own mother.
631
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:21,900
Who died just like Nancy.
632
00:28:21,935 --> 00:28:23,600
With a noose around her neck.
633
00:28:27,100 --> 00:28:29,400
The suicide note Nancy's
granddaughter brought in
634
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:30,900
belonged to Nancy's mother.
635
00:28:31,700 --> 00:28:33,700
Nancy must've took it
from the mental hospital.
636
00:28:33,735 --> 00:28:34,565
She didn't.
637
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,700
Somebody else signed out
her mother's medical file.
638
00:28:36,900 --> 00:28:38,100
Check out the signature.
639
00:28:38,135 --> 00:28:39,265
Nancy Patterson, so?
640
00:28:39,300 --> 00:28:40,700
That's not Nancy's handwriting.
641
00:28:40,900 --> 00:28:42,800
You're saying
someone forged her signature?
642
00:28:42,835 --> 00:28:43,365
Probably the same
643
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:44,965
somebody who forged the receipt
644
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,400
- at the hardware store.
- And guess who that was?
645
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:51,865
Annette, the housekeeper.
646
00:28:51,900 --> 00:28:53,600
Handwriting's
a perfect match to this.
647
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:55,600
Locked door,
message on the typewriter,
648
00:28:55,635 --> 00:28:57,200
noose in the attic...
she set it all up.
649
00:28:57,235 --> 00:28:58,700
With one goal in mind.
650
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:01,800
Drive Nancy insane.
651
00:29:03,700 --> 00:29:08,100
??? who had everything you didn't.
652
00:29:08,300 --> 00:29:11,100
Nice big house, cute kid...
653
00:29:12,900 --> 00:29:13,965
good-looking husband.
654
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,300
I was satisfied with my life.
655
00:29:16,500 --> 00:29:18,200
Alone in your two-room
apartment?
656
00:29:18,500 --> 00:29:20,900
Early '60s, a woman
was expected to marry,
657
00:29:20,935 --> 00:29:21,965
have a family.
658
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,300
Wasn't in the cards
for some of us.
659
00:29:24,335 --> 00:29:26,117
Maybe you
had your heart set
660
00:29:26,152 --> 00:29:27,900
on someone in particular.
661
00:29:27,935 --> 00:29:29,200
I told you.
662
00:29:29,500 --> 00:29:32,700
Professor Patterson
was in love with his wife.
663
00:29:32,735 --> 00:29:33,365
But if she wasn't
664
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:34,700
- in the picture...
- Who better
665
00:29:34,735 --> 00:29:36,700
to fill her shoes...
666
00:29:37,500 --> 00:29:37,965
than you?
667
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,865
He'd never think of me that way.
668
00:29:39,900 --> 00:29:42,200
You were around the same age,
you and Nancy.
669
00:29:42,235 --> 00:29:43,765
From similar neighborhoods.
670
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:45,400
Very little difference
between you.
671
00:29:45,435 --> 00:29:47,500
Except Nancy was beautiful.
672
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:51,200
I don't know if I could do it,
673
00:29:51,500 --> 00:29:52,465
mopping floors for a woman
674
00:29:52,500 --> 00:29:54,000
lucky enough to catch
a man like that.
675
00:29:54,035 --> 00:29:55,800
You wouldn't have to, would you?
676
00:29:56,100 --> 00:29:59,300
Women like you,
you take everything for granted.
677
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,700
- Women like me?
- You bat your eyelashes,
678
00:30:03,735 --> 00:30:05,265
smile sweet,
679
00:30:05,300 --> 00:30:07,000
get whatever you want.
680
00:30:09,300 --> 00:30:11,000
Oh, everything
comes easy, right?
681
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:13,065
Like it did with Nancy?
682
00:30:13,100 --> 00:30:15,000
You thought you could
have her committed.
683
00:30:15,035 --> 00:30:16,900
- Get her out of the way.
- Nonsense.
684
00:30:17,900 --> 00:30:19,600
You knew about Drummond.
685
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,500
I don't know that place.
686
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:25,600
Who said it was a place?
687
00:30:26,700 --> 00:30:27,700
Oh, you went there.
688
00:30:27,900 --> 00:30:28,665
Forged her signature,
689
00:30:28,700 --> 00:30:30,350
signed out
her mother's file.
690
00:30:30,385 --> 00:30:32,000
Went to the hardware store, too.
691
00:30:32,900 --> 00:30:34,600
It was for their own good.
692
00:30:34,635 --> 00:30:37,400
Who? Rachel? Daniel?
693
00:30:37,900 --> 00:30:38,665
That why you killed her?
694
00:30:38,700 --> 00:30:42,100
- To protect them?
- That woman was dangerous.
695
00:30:47,100 --> 00:30:48,800
Sorry, I didn't realize
you were here, ma'am.
696
00:30:50,100 --> 00:30:51,600
Mrs. Patterson?
697
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:53,700
They put her away
because she
698
00:30:53,735 --> 00:30:55,100
nearly killed me.
699
00:30:56,500 --> 00:30:58,100
Locked me in a closet.
700
00:30:58,800 --> 00:30:59,900
I was seven.
701
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:01,900
She left me a note.
702
00:31:02,900 --> 00:31:04,100
And I just can't
help but think
703
00:31:04,135 --> 00:31:05,700
is it happening to me?
704
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:06,900
Am I slipping?
705
00:31:12,100 --> 00:31:13,200
Where's Rachel?
706
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:15,400
She woke up almost an hour ago.
707
00:31:16,100 --> 00:31:16,665
Said the two of you
708
00:31:16,700 --> 00:31:18,400
were going to play
hide-and-seek.
709
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:21,200
Rachel, sweetie?
710
00:31:22,900 --> 00:31:23,800
Rachel?!
711
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:29,200
Rachel, sweetie?!
712
00:31:31,100 --> 00:31:32,500
Rachel!
713
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,600
Ra... Rachel!
714
00:31:37,900 --> 00:31:39,700
Help me!
Help me, please!
715
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:56,800
I'm so sorry.
716
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:04,365
I might've done a lot of things,
717
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,500
but I did not put that key
in her pocket.
718
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:08,665
You had nothing
719
00:32:08,700 --> 00:32:10,950
to do with Rachel
being in that trunk?
720
00:32:10,985 --> 00:32:13,200
I would never hurt
that little girl.
721
00:32:13,500 --> 00:32:14,765
I wanted
to drive Nancy
722
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,800
from the house,
that was all, I swear.
723
00:32:22,700 --> 00:32:24,900
A fragile woman
pushed to her death.
724
00:32:29,300 --> 00:32:30,400
Someone I got to see.
725
00:32:41,100 --> 00:32:41,900
I, uh...
726
00:32:43,700 --> 00:32:45,000
I owe you an apology.
727
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:50,700
I know when you don't
get a "good-bye,"
728
00:32:51,700 --> 00:32:53,400
or at least one
that makes sense,
729
00:32:54,300 --> 00:32:55,500
it stays with you.
730
00:32:56,700 --> 00:32:58,500
It stays either way.
731
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:00,200
Doesn't it, Detective?
732
00:33:01,500 --> 00:33:02,400
Yeah.
733
00:33:03,100 --> 00:33:04,500
It does.
734
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:08,600
I hoped it'd turn out
different for you.
735
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:10,700
Yeah, me, too.
736
00:33:15,900 --> 00:33:17,400
My mother did say good-bye,
737
00:33:17,435 --> 00:33:18,600
you know?
738
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:21,000
She did?
739
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,200
Yeah, I just didn't know it
at the time.
740
00:33:29,700 --> 00:33:31,400
Are you crying, Mommy?
741
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:32,465
No.
742
00:33:32,500 --> 00:33:35,400
If you're scared,
you can sleep here with me.
743
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:36,700
Oh...
744
00:33:41,500 --> 00:33:43,500
You are my very best
little girl.
745
00:33:43,535 --> 00:33:45,200
You know that, right?
746
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,200
I'll do anything to protect you.
747
00:33:49,700 --> 00:33:51,565
Anything,
and I want you
748
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:53,800
to remember that no matter what,
749
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:57,700
Mommy loves you
very, very much.
750
00:33:59,500 --> 00:34:01,500
I love you too, Mommy.
751
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:14,500
Wait!
752
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:19,600
Lookit, for you.
753
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:22,900
For me?
754
00:34:23,700 --> 00:34:25,900
Oh, and Rachel has red hair.
755
00:34:26,500 --> 00:34:27,600
Like your mommy.
756
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,100
Rachel, where did
you get this paper?
757
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,100
This is the page I was
missing- my poetry.
758
00:34:39,135 --> 00:34:40,500
Where did you get it?
759
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,300
It was in Daddy's things.
760
00:34:45,100 --> 00:34:46,400
In Daddy's things?
761
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:48,300
Where?
762
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:50,200
In the attic.
763
00:34:52,700 --> 00:34:54,100
You still have
that drawing?
764
00:34:54,900 --> 00:34:56,300
Of course.
765
00:34:56,500 --> 00:34:57,800
I never threw it out.
766
00:34:58,500 --> 00:35:00,100
I'd forgotten
what she said
767
00:35:00,135 --> 00:35:01,700
to me that night until now-
768
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,400
that I was her very
best little girl.
769
00:35:05,900 --> 00:35:09,100
You sure it was Nancy's poem
on the back of that paper?
770
00:35:09,700 --> 00:35:11,400
That's what my mother said.
771
00:35:11,900 --> 00:35:13,000
It was hers.
772
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:16,300
"Hollow.
773
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:19,300
"No escape
from the dark.
774
00:35:20,100 --> 00:35:21,400
I sit. "
775
00:35:23,300 --> 00:35:25,300
"Alone in empty rooms. "
776
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,400
Poetry ain't really my thing,
but I got to admit...
777
00:35:29,300 --> 00:35:30,150
this one got to me.
778
00:35:30,185 --> 00:35:31,392
It was
translated
779
00:35:31,427 --> 00:35:32,565
into seven languages.
780
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:33,900
Critics said
it was infused
781
00:35:33,935 --> 00:35:35,200
with your wife's spirit.
782
00:35:35,500 --> 00:35:37,865
It was.
I dedicated it to her.
783
00:35:37,900 --> 00:35:40,700
Didn't really see you as
the type to write like this.
784
00:35:40,735 --> 00:35:42,800
- What do you mean?
- Well, this poem
785
00:35:42,835 --> 00:35:43,800
is about...
786
00:35:44,100 --> 00:35:44,900
frailty,
787
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,100
people on the fringes,
lost hope.
788
00:35:47,135 --> 00:35:48,500
Nancy knew a lot about that.
789
00:35:48,535 --> 00:35:49,500
Didn't she?
790
00:35:50,300 --> 00:35:52,600
Uneducated,
orphaned by her mother,
791
00:35:52,900 --> 00:35:53,965
widowed,
792
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:55,500
raising a kid
on her own.
793
00:35:56,100 --> 00:35:57,700
She didn't have
an easy time of it.
794
00:35:57,735 --> 00:35:58,465
The worst part is
795
00:35:58,500 --> 00:36:00,400
she never got the credit
she deserved.
796
00:36:01,100 --> 00:36:03,000
I'm afraid I'm not following.
797
00:36:03,035 --> 00:36:03,800
This...
798
00:36:03,900 --> 00:36:05,700
was infused
with your wife's spirit
799
00:36:05,735 --> 00:36:07,500
'cause she wrote the damn thing.
800
00:36:08,700 --> 00:36:09,865
That's preposterous.
801
00:36:09,900 --> 00:36:11,950
Then what was
Nancy's original
802
00:36:11,985 --> 00:36:14,000
doing in the attic
in your desk?
803
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:18,200
It's not Nancy's original.
804
00:36:18,235 --> 00:36:18,665
It's mine.
805
00:36:18,700 --> 00:36:20,050
You didn't use a typewriter.
806
00:36:20,085 --> 00:36:21,400
Remember, the muse and all?
807
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:23,500
She, she typed it for me.
808
00:36:23,535 --> 00:36:24,800
You son of a bitch,
809
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:26,500
she's the one who should be
tting behind that desk
810
00:36:26,535 --> 00:36:28,100
- and you know it.
- Nonsense.
811
00:36:28,700 --> 00:36:29,565
You had
a deadline;
812
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:30,665
your career was at stake;
813
00:36:30,700 --> 00:36:32,365
and you couldn't write
a thing, could you?
814
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,600
Who better to steal from
than the real talent living
815
00:36:34,635 --> 00:36:36,900
- in your house?
- She stole from me!
816
00:36:37,100 --> 00:36:38,265
That's what you told
yourself,
817
00:36:38,300 --> 00:36:40,400
- how you slept at night.
- You made her out to be nuts
818
00:36:40,435 --> 00:36:42,465
so you could steal her work
and make it your own.
819
00:36:42,500 --> 00:36:45,500
You got poor, dumb, lovelorn
Annette in on the plan, too.
820
00:36:45,535 --> 00:36:46,800
It's a perfect solution.
821
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:48,965
Nancy's daughter
822
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:52,300
spent her entire life afraid
she might go crazy, too;
823
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:54,900
beating herself up,
thinking she was the one
824
00:36:54,935 --> 00:36:56,600
who pushed her mother
over the edge.
825
00:36:57,600 --> 00:36:58,800
But it was you.
826
00:37:00,500 --> 00:37:02,000
I was so desperate.
827
00:37:02,500 --> 00:37:05,100
People expected
so much from me.
828
00:37:05,300 --> 00:37:06,550
I had no choice!
829
00:37:06,585 --> 00:37:07,800
Why your wife?
830
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:10,000
Why steal from her?
831
00:37:10,100 --> 00:37:12,600
Had to be other writers
around, other students.
832
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:16,800
You still don't get it, do you?
833
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:18,100
Get what?
834
00:37:19,300 --> 00:37:22,100
How good Nancy was.
835
00:37:28,500 --> 00:37:29,200
Nance?
836
00:37:32,100 --> 00:37:32,900
Nancy?
837
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:52,300
Daniel.
838
00:37:52,500 --> 00:37:53,500
Nancy.
839
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:56,900
- What are you doing up here?
- I'm confused.
840
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:58,065
I know.
You need rest.
841
00:37:58,100 --> 00:38:00,800
- Come to bed.
- I'm confused about who you are.
842
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:02,850
- What?
- Only a monster
843
00:38:02,885 --> 00:38:04,500
would use this
against me.
844
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:07,600
You're the one
who's lost his mind.
845
00:38:11,900 --> 00:38:13,100
You shouldn't
have come up here.
846
00:38:13,300 --> 00:38:15,200
You took my words.
847
00:38:15,500 --> 00:38:18,000
- You took me.
- You know what my first professor said about me?
848
00:38:18,035 --> 00:38:21,000
He said my pen must have
been touched by the gods.
849
00:38:21,035 --> 00:38:22,765
He said my potential
was unlimited.
850
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,300
- What's wrong with you, Daniel?
- He was wrong.
851
00:38:25,700 --> 00:38:27,600
All I had was potential,
nothing more.
852
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:28,465
I have craft
853
00:38:28,500 --> 00:38:30,500
and diligence and a PhD,
854
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,900
and it's amounted to
a thousand pages of mediocrity.
855
00:38:33,935 --> 00:38:35,365
I'm going downstairs
to Rachel.
856
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:38,500
As I toiled in the dark,
where were the gods then?
857
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:39,800
Where were they?
858
00:38:40,300 --> 00:38:41,600
With a secretary.
859
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:45,100
This is genius.
860
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:48,400
Written by a daughter
of the state?
861
00:38:48,700 --> 00:38:50,700
- That's what you hate, isn't it?
- You couldn't have done this.
862
00:38:50,735 --> 00:38:52,600
You couldn't have
written this, not you!
863
00:38:52,900 --> 00:38:54,200
But I did.
864
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:55,900
I did write it, Daniel.
865
00:38:55,935 --> 00:38:57,365
No, you didn't. I did.
866
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:00,200
It's mine. You
stole it from me.
867
00:39:00,900 --> 00:39:03,400
My pen has been touched
by the hand of God.
868
00:39:04,500 --> 00:39:05,300
Oh!
