we were only a block away when the call went out. when we got here, the guy was still waiting upstairs in the children's bedroom. he was covered with blood.
not his own. the children had been dead for several hours.
he'd been using an old phone in their bedroom that the parents had never had disconnected.
we found a merchant seaman's card on him. he's english. entered the country less than a week ago.
she's going to be all right.
what is all this?!
how was i supposed to know?
will you tell me what this is about, cliff?
i don't think i can take any more of these surprises.
okay now, what's the big deal?
if you want me to remember something in the morning, then tell it to me in the morning.
all right, all right. what is it? you're getting married.
that's great, cliff; i'm sure you'll find your man.
what?
sure. anything.
three years is a long time in a place like this.
how long will you be here?
you want to use your old desk? someplace to sit down?
any luck?
you found him?
where?
what's the point of chancing it, cliff? we'll let you take the credit.
i think you'd better go on home, cliff. you've fallen in.
what part does money play in all this? play straight with me.
who's hired you for this?
so you're a hitman now.
you could get busted.
what are you going to use?
you're stretching our friendship, cliff. if you blow this at all --
take your time. do it right.
do you need any help preparing for this thing?
hey, tucker, lemme see that a minute.
you guys have a stake on the house?
thanks.
cliff?.  i think i got something for you.
