NARRATOR:
Previously on Pushing Daisies:
2
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:03,834
Who the hell are you?
3
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,719
Dwight Dixon. I was a friend
of your father's 25 years ago.
4
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,758
-I'm actually trying to find him.
-I'm afraid we lost touch.
5
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:12,150
I haven't seen
or heard from the man in 20 years.
6
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:14,754
I'm here for something:
a common brass pocket watch.
7
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:16,831
Looked a lot like this one,
which is mine.
8
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:18,399
I don't recall a pocket watch.
9
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:21,996
Charlotte's father, my lover,
was vivian's fiancé.
10
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:25,158
-You're a home-wrecker too!
-Vivian can never know.
11
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:27,436
I'm not gonna say anything to vivian
about what you did.
12
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:31,070
-Don't come for me, fella. I fight dirty.
-Why'd you fake your death?
13
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,435
Are you and the Pie-Maker
in cahoots together?
14
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:35,238
I died. He brought me back to life.
15
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:39,279
-If you don't wanna tell me, just say so.
-What do you mean, I can't come?
16
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,431
There's a grave out there
that you supposed to be in.
17
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,160
People who are dead but not dead
come up against mobs...
18
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,151
...with pitchforks and torches.
19
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,356
VlVlAN:
I have a small confession...
20
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,318
...about Charles' pocket watch.
I do recall it.
21
00:00:52,160 --> 00:00:56,392
We buried it with our niece,
"Lonely Tourist" Charlotte Charles.
22
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,308
NARRATOR: There once was a Pie-Maker
who had a gift:
23
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,795
A touch that brought the dead to life.
24
00:01:04,960 --> 00:01:06,632
The gift followed these rules:
25
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:08,870
Touch a dead thing once, alive.
26
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,476
Touch a dead thing twice,
dead again forever.
27
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,949
Keep a dead thing alive
for more than a minute...
28
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,634
...something else has to die.
29
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:33,997
At this very moment,
at the Longborough School for Boys...
30
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,720
... when it came to the currency
of popularity...
31
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,599
... young Ned was poor,
but not the poorest.
32
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,751
Eugene Mulchandani's thick accent...
33
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,356
...and unfortunate family history
of disproportionate jaw structure...
34
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,398
...made him both extremely difficult
to understand...
35
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,636
...and an easy mark for bullies.
36
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,918
Young Ned knew that playing
with Eugene meant losing his marbles...
37
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,390
...but he considered the sacrificed
aggies, steelies and shooters...
38
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,028
...an act of charity,
for aside from Ned...
39
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,589
...Eugene had only two
other companions:
40
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:08,880
Bilbo, his lethargic lndian python,
and Ackbar, a bunny.
41
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,356
Eugene was devastated
when he learned...
42
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,512
... that upon attempting
to eat Ackbar the Bunny...
43
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,195
...Bilbo the Snake choked,
killing them both.
44
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,794
Under the guise
of burying Eugene's pets...
45
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,713
... young Ned resolved to perform
another act of charity...
46
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:42,836
...for his language-mangling friend.
47
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,955
He knew that giving Eugene
his friends back...
48
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:50,238
... would require
two innocent creatures to die...
49
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:58,154
...and a lie about how he found them
both barely breathing...
50
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,390
... when he went to bury them.
51
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,120
But as long as the benefits
outweighed the costs...
52
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:08,229
...he also believed an act of charity
outweighed the consequences.
53
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:15,035
Twenty years, 1 6 weeks,
four days and nine hours later...
54
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,397
... the boy had grown
into the Pie-Maker...
55
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,916
...and the Pie-Maker was,
at this very moment...
56
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,552
... troubled.
57
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,598
-You're stress baking.
-I don't know what you're talking about.
58
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,799
You've been up since before the sun
and there's a traffic jam of pies.
59
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:33,669
You're worried.
60
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,229
"Worried" would imply an urge
toward action.
61
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:37,958
"Troubled" seems more apt.
62
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:39,519
About a man named Dwight...
63
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,478
...asking questions about your dad
and is dating my Aunt Vivian?
64
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:43,914
Oh, you're stress baking.
65
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,594
lf he's dating your aunt,
he's going to see a picture.
66
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,593
lf he doesn't have amnesia,
he's going to recognize you...
67
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,149
...if he hasn't already.
Why is he dating your aunt?
68
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,788
Not to suggest
that she's not perfectly lovely...
69
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:56,518
...but it does seem
more than coincidental.
70
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,750
Does vivian's boy toy
have something to do...
71
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:00,717
-...with why you faked your death?
-No.
72
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,917
Maybe he's been after you all along.
Maybe he works for the lRS.
73
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,799
lf anyone can figure out
whether you're dead, it's the taxman.
74
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,430
Maybe he thinks you are dead. He's one
of those paranormal investigators.
75
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,034
He's the old priest,
and the young priest is coming.
76
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,988
That would be a waste of religion,
because she's not dead.
77
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,311
-I find myself urged to action.
-Yeah, me too.
78
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,948
Public records.
We've gotta find out who Dwight is...
79
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,998
...and if he's after more
than just your aunt's companionship.
80
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:30,472
Counterintelligence via pie delivery:
like gossiping with a purpose.
81
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,517
My specialty.
82
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:39,195
-Pie time.
-Olive! What a surprise. And with a pie.
83
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,399
-The second-sweetest treat of my day.
-Something sweeter than a Pie Hole pie?
84
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:47,269
The first was a surprise visit
from a certain gentleman caller.
85
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:51,991
Oh, the lovely lady of the Hole,
and with a special delivery to heel.
86
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,754
No need to stand on my account.
Just here doing my duty.
87
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,195
No other reason I can speak of.
88
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,396
And what type of duty
are you in again?
89
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:00,959
Clergy? Tax services?
90
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,237
Dwight collects
and appraises antiques...
91
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,228
...which I learned right after he told me
he's dating my sister.
92
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,073
Lily's naturally suspicious
of new liaisons...
93
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,993
...but I felt compelled to come clean
about our relationship.
94
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,470
Sneaking around is for politicians
in bathroom stalls.
95
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,269
Not for a brisk and bucolic
autumn-cum-winter afternoon...
96
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,237
...on the park. Ladies.
97
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,272
OLlVE:
Bye.
98
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:32,632
Seems nice.
99
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:37,271
I don't trust him further than I can spit,
and I can spit.
100
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:44,233
Look at the way
he drapes himself all over her. Ugh!
101
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,119
Makes me wanna stick a fork
in my eye.
102
00:05:47,280 --> 00:05:49,191
-I need a drink.
-You're holding one.
103
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,874
I need a stronger one. And a fork.
104
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:56,556
While Olive pondered one sister blinded
by love and the other by distrust...
105
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,917
...Emerson Cod pondered
the exorbitant amount of cash...
106
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:01,269
...he'd just been given.
107
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,749
I demand justice for the decedent...
108
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,549
...and I will not rest,
settle or adjourn until I have it!
109
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,075
Mind demanding it
in your inside voice?
110
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,312
I'm sorry. Years of litigation
have made me a loud talker.
111
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,233
What makes a lawyer so willing
to shell out his own green...
112
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,868
-...over a client's death?
-I have a special practice.
113
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,316
Gustav was my one client,
and that client is now dead.
114
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,677
So why you still hanging on?
Looking for a few stray cash capillaries?
115
00:06:25,840 --> 00:06:29,515
No. Gustav was more than a client.
He was a... .
116
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,877
He was a cantankerous bombast
with a violent temper...
117
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,600
...and a lust for power and wealth.
118
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,638
ln lawyer speak.
I was in love with him.
119
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,511
You talk to the police
about your friend?
120
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,069
The police station is run
by a bunch of monkeys.
121
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:45,992
You want the best,
you pay the premium.
122
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:47,593
Why ain't the family paying?
123
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,593
His wife was his family,
and she was the biggest leech of all.
124
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:51,749
Always after his will.
125
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:53,837
So she got to the will
through murder?
126
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,752
Well, I never trusted her.
127
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:57,512
I tried my best, as a lover--
128
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,672
I mean, as a lawyer and a friend,
to protect Gustav.
129
00:07:00,840 --> 00:07:04,230
She ruined his life.
She's gonna ruin his legacy.
130
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,273
I smell a big old "but"
heading in my direction.
131
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,351
Gustav was robbed the night he died.
132
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,556
lt happens
when you have a fortune like his.
133
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:16,430
-What kind of fortune we talking about?
-The kind built upon your tight balls.
134
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:18,393
The facts were these:
135
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,358
Gustav Hofer
had lived the American dream.
136
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,398
His mechanized yarn-baller
not only gave a generation...
137
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,876
...of frustrated grandmothers
the means to make unwanted gifts...
138
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,430
...at the age of 19,
it was the first of countless inventions...
139
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,751
... that made Gustav Hofer
his first of countless millions.
140
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,514
Before Gustav Hofer
could make one penny more...
141
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,150
...someone arranged
for his permanent retirement...
142
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:52,397
...and the lawyer who was in love
with him found his retired remains.
143
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,390
-He doesn't look like the richest man.
-They say he had the Midas touch.
144
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,836
You're a little bit like King Midas,
except substitute life for gold...
145
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:03,917
...and you don't have donkey ears.
146
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,516
Midas was a miser, like Scrooge,
but hungrier. I'm a philanthropist.
147
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,716
Just touch the sucker.
148
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,396
Hello. We'd like to ask
a few questions...
149
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,915
-...but we only have a minute.
-I presume I'm dead.
150
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,469
Let's get to business.
First, the matter of my will.
151
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,200
-lt's in your lawyer's--
-Not that will. A new will...
152
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,158
...and you're going to track it down
for me, roger?
153
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,231
-Roger. Now if--
-Kid, you talk too much.
154
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:32,319
The wilI is in my trophy room. Go to
the biggest trophy, center of the wall.
155
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,471
Turn it clockwise. Say it back to me.
156
00:08:34,680 --> 00:08:37,148
-Who killed you?
-Who are you? Who is he?
157
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,072
Do you know who I am, Elmer?
158
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,800
You about to be the first man
to ever be murdered twice.
159
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,191
-You want justice--
-I don't want my hard-earned money...
160
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:46,918
...going where it doesn't belong.
161
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,550
Your generation has never understood
the value of a dollar--
162
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,154
Trophy room, biggest trophy,
turn clockwise.
163
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:57,996
Smartest one of the bunch.
I like your moxie, sassafras.
164
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,670

00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:49,750
I was tired of being a shut-in,
but I couldn't bring myself to leave...
330
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:55,159
...and so I decided to leave vicariously,
and pushed Charlotte out the door.
331
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,389
Poor Charlotte.
332
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:03,196
Now. You've gone and set
those pretty peepers a-weeping.
333
00:18:03,360 --> 00:18:07,990
ln his search for a brass pocket watch,
Dwight Dixon found a heart of gold.
334
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,948
I've carried this with me
since the funeral...
335
00:18:12,120 --> 00:18:18,514
...as a reminder to stop living vicariously
and start living living.
336
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,390
You've probably seen her face before.
337
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,630
She was all over the news
after she died.
338
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:30,793
Oh, I've definitely
seen her face before.
339
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:44,237
Do you know if Gustav donated
to an organization called the Bellmen?
340
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,595
-The Bellmen?
-Every house that's been robbed...
341
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,439
...was called by a Bellmen telemarketer
named Tam Fong.
342
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:54,913
So Elise didn't do it?
This Tam Fong killed Gustav?
343
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,719
Well, where is he?
I'm gonna find that malfeas-ass...
344
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,269
-...and slam him down!
-lnside voice.
345
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,351
-Not the gavel of justice.
-Outside voice.
346
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:05,512
I'm talking about Southern-style,
back-alley score-settling...
347
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,272
...doled out by me and a couple--
348
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,910
-Conversational patio voice?
-Before you get to doling out justice...
349
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,469
...the smoking gun don't always point
to the bad guy.
350
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,194
So Tam Fong isn't the guilty party?
351
00:19:16,360 --> 00:19:18,794
Yes. No. Maybe.
352
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,554
All we know is, maybe he had a hand
in marking the mark.
353
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,996
Good news is, we have reason to believe
Gustav completed a second will.
354
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:29,193
A second will? Hopefully, that
tarnished trophy wife of his is excluded.
355
00:19:29,360 --> 00:19:30,759
Wait, wait. I'm his lawyer.
356
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,554
lf there were a second will,
I would have drafted it...
357
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,553
...and drawn a tidy 20 percent
commission for my troubles.
358
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:38,438
So how would you know differently?
359
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,473
Let's just say our procedures
would be inadmissible in court.
360
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,551
The will was taken during the robbery.
361
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:45,517
You people mix the good with the bad.
362
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:49,070
The world would be better if everybody
dabbed calamine on bad news.
363
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:52,198
Gustav Hofer deserved better
than the wife he had...
364
00:19:52,360 --> 00:19:56,592
...and the wife he had
didn't deserve the money he earned.
365
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,832
You find that second will,
I'll double your fee.
366
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,309
-We'll find that will.
-We'll find that will.
367
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,319
Tam's calling the houses,
even if he's not robbing them.
368
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,550
What if we put our names
on the do-call list?
369
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,756
No burglar would take the bait...
370
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,276
-...if they saw your tiny-ass apartments.
-We could use my aunts' house.
371
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,557
ls there a sting? I wanna sting. Can l?
372
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,678
-That's a very bad idea.
-lt's a good idea, made doubly good.

You figure out
who brought the lights down on Gustav.
374
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,795
I'll shine a light
on the true identity of Dwight.
375
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,315
I have an old cigar box
with my dad's letters...
376
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:29,913
...it's hidden in my bedroom.
377
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:33,436
Now, if my dad did know Dwight,
there'll be something about him inside.
378
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,512
The Pie-Maker considered
the wooden box in her old room...
379
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:40,474
...a better alternative to the wooden
box that contained her father...
380
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,598
...so a sting was set.
381
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,030
Mr. Fong, I am so sorry to interrupt.

00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,395

owns Carville Steel.
384
00:20:56,120 --> 00:20:59,032
I believe someone from here
called me yesterday?
385
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,636
Mrs. Carville, of course.
Please, take a seat.
386
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,153
I won't be staying long.
387
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,551

why I hate phone solicitations...

and panhandlers.

-No.

returned to her childhood bedroom...
405
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:03,036

Dwight Dixon 's true intentions.

whether to name his wife as beneficiary.
489
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,114
I know how this must sound,
but the facts were these.
490
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,511
-Huh?
-These were the facts:
491
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,394
WRlGHT: Gustav was in the midst
of a crisis of faith.
492
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:40,348
His decision to rewrite his will made him
question whether his wife loved him...
493
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,750
...and if he had
any true friendships at all.
494
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:44,797
And that's when we met.
495
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,840
He wanted to make a contribution
but I wouldn 't let him.
496
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,713
He said, "Where I come from,
people get paid for services. "
497
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,356
But I said, "Charity is an impulse,
not a return for a friendly act. "
498
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,478
So we talked. He told me his problems
and I offered a solution.
499
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,598
I agreed to rob him. He would appear
to be an innocent victim.
500
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:04,355
lf his wife stayed faithfully by his side,
his concerns could be laid to rest.
501
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,398
I'd return half his fortune,
keep the other half for charity.
502
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:12,152
But Gustav's wife intervened
and I had to get out.
503
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,274
I read in the paper the next day
what happened to Gustav.
504
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,715
Even if you didn't kill him,
you're a criminal.
505
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:20,916
My duty is to the downtrodden,
the meek...
506
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,958
...those unable to reach their bootstraps,
let alone pull them.
507
00:27:24,120 --> 00:27:28,159
I take what people can afford to lose.
That certainly doesn't include their lives.
508
00:27:28,360 --> 00:27:30,669
-Do you like puppies?
-Yeah.
509
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,229
The county animal shelter
is to be shut tomorrow...
510
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,675
...unless I get them money
to pay their mortgage.
511
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:39,435
With nowhere to house these animals,
dogcatchers are calling it The Big Sleep.
512
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:40,715
You can save them?
513
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:44,953
Only if the help outweighs the hurt,
the act of charity always makes sense.
514
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,515
You let him go?
What if he's a cold-blooded murderer?
515
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,672
-Shut it. Kitchen.
-lt was charity. There were puppies.
516
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,308
And, besides, my Grueneberg ganglia
wasn't activated.
517
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:54,754
Well, that sounds personal.

One of them feminine conversations
you need to have with lady friends.

As in, you can sniff out danger?
521
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:07,274
I could smell a swashbuckling do-gooder
in the wrong place at the wrong time.

00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,670
-Puppy crap.
-You shouldn't have let him go.

-lt was a mistake.
-You're really angry at me.

I'm stress baking in my head.

-You're stress baking me.
-I'm channeling fear into anger.
526
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:19,148
And anger leads to hate.
527
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,595
Hate leads to stress baking
the people you love.
528
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,399
Bad, but better than releasing,
which you did for the Bellman.
529
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:28,712
Maybe Rob was telling the truth.
Maybe it was Gustav's wife.
530
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,599
You did say that the bellman/porter
was hiding something.
531
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:35,673
He may have had an alibi
but he may also know who killed Gustav.
532
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:38,199
Eh.

Stakeouts are only fun when
there are binoculars for everybody.
534
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,515
Stakeouts are fun if you got
a game to listen to...
535
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:49,989

a hot-dog stand.

-What's the worst that could happen?
-Pie-Maker becomes a show in the circus.

-I earn wages peddling tickets.
-This is a cavalier conversation about...
542
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,476
-...a deep, dark, touchy subject for me.
-How deep, dark and touchy is it?
543
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,871
Since I was little, I'd have this dream
somebody found out what I could do.

...where bits are cut out of me
until there's nothing.
547

That's awful. lf Dwight finds out
about me, then he finds out about you.

00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:28,633
You still won't wake my dad
and find out what Dwight wants.

While Olive Snook was unable to provide
the pen and paper she sought...

00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:02,838
...she'd received the mysterious
Dwight's message loud and clear.

... Olive Snook made
two alarming discoveries.
583
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:16,271
First, that in time of duress...
584
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,318
... the Pie-Maker's penchant
for stress baking was matched...
585
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:23,234
...only by the petite waitress 's
predilection for stress binging.
586
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,119
Second, that the dark stranger,
Dwight Dixon...

00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:30,831
...had discovered Chuck,

00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,592
Now, Lily, that's not entirely true.
More accurate would be:
