Garage Sale Mystery: The Wedding Dress (2015) Movie Script

[♪♪♪]

[MAN]: OKAY, EVERYBODY--

BIG SMILE!

OVER HERE, HELEN.

VERY NICE.

HAPPY COUPLE!

CHARLES, HELEN,

BIG SMILE!

LOOKING GOOD, LADIES!

[♪♪♪]

TED! TED!

JUST MOVE

A LITTLE TO YOUR RIGHT?

CHARLES, HELEN!

OVER HERE.

OKAY! WE GOT IT, EVERYBODY.

[♪♪♪]

[SNAP]

[POLICE RADIOS

CRACKLING INDISTINCTLY]

I WENT TO TOUCH UP

MY MAKE-UP IN THE BATHROOM.

[BRIDE SNIFFLES]

WE WERE GOING TO

WALK IN TOGETHER.

[SOBBING]

[♪♪♪]

I'VE HEARD OF THE GROOM

BOLTING BEFORE THE WEDDING,

BUT NEVER AFTER.

SO, BETWEEN THE PICTURES

AND THE RECEPTION,

THE GROOM JUST DISAPPEARS?

I DON'T GET IT.

AND IT HAD TO BE ON FOOT,

HE DIDN'T HAVE A CAR.

WAS HE AMBIVALENT

ABOUT THE MARRIAGE?

NO!

THIS IS NOT LIKE HIM.

DID HELEN SAY ANYTHING ABOUT

ANY PROBLEMS WITH CHARLES?

NOTHING.

NO. I WAS WITH HER

LAST NIGHT.

SHE WAS SO EXCITED AND

HAPPY.

[TROUBLED SIGH]

[♪♪♪]

[JENN]: SO... TELL ME, DANI.

YEAH. NO, WE TALKED.

AND?

WE'RE GOING

OUT FOR DINNER

ON SATURDAY NIGHT.

-NICE! WHAT'S HIS NAME?

-JAKE.

IS HE

THE PHARMACIST?

FIREMAN.

REALLY?

DON'T GO THERE.

I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING.

-OKAY.

-WHAT MONTH?

HE WAS MR. JULY.

BUT IT WAS YEARS AGO.

[BOTH LAUGHING]

-DANI!

-HEY...

SO ISN'T THIS JUST

A FANCY GARAGE SALE?

OH, HANNAH.

WHAT?

OH! HANNAH, HANNAH, HANNAH.

MY DARLING DAUGHTER.

WE ARE GOING TO AN ESTATE

SALE.

OH!

[♪♪♪]

AND YOU KNOW,

SOMETIMES,

IT'S JUST LIKE

THE OCCUPANTS LEFT IT.

WHY WOULD

THEY DO THAT?

WELL, MAYBE

THEY PASSED AWAY,

OR THEY WENT TO

A CARE FACILITY.

EVERYTHING INSIDE IS

LEFT JUST AS IT WAS,

AND EVERYTHING

IS FOR SALE,

SO KEEP YOUR EYES

PEELED.

THAT SOUNDS CREEPY.

SO WE MIGHT BE BUYING

STUFF FROM DEAD PEOPLE?

[LAUGHING]

THAT'S USUALLY HOW IT WORKS

IN THE ANTIQUE BUSINESS,

SWEETHEART.

HUH.

THIS DOESN'T LOOK

LIKE AN "ESTATE."

WELL, LET'S HOPE FOR THE

BEST.

WE'RE GOIN' IN.

OKAY.

[DANI]: REMEMBER,

WE BARELY HAVE

ANY ROOM LEFT IN STORAGE,

JENN.

[JENN]: I KNOW, DANI.

SLIM PICKINGS,

BUT YOU NEVER KNOW.

I'LL TAKE

THE KITCHEN.

I'LL TAKE THE UPSTAIRS.

I'LL TAKE THE REST.

[QUIET BACKGROUND CHATTER]

[♪♪♪]

[GASPS]

SORRY.

[♪♪♪]

[RUSTLING]

[♪♪♪]

[DANI]: WHY ARE WE TAKING

SO MANY BOXES BACK TO THE

SHOP?

[JENN]:

YOU COULDN'T PICK AND

CHOOSE,

YOU HAD TO TAKE 'EM ALL.

-COME ON, 20 BUCKS.

-EXCUSE ME.

-GREAT.

-YOU WAIT AND SEE.

I'M EXCITED.

-A LOT OF TREASURE IN THERE.

-MM-HMM.

-GET ME OUT OF HERE.

-LET'S GO.

[♪♪♪]

-TANNER?

-"TYLER!"

TYLER!

HE'S VERY NICE.

HE IS VERY NICE.

HE'S ALSO SMART,

GOOD-LOOKING,

AND HE MAKES ME LAUGH.

OH! MY EX

MADE ME LAUGH...

FOR ALL

THE WRONG REASONS.

[LAUGHS]

WHAT'S HIS MAJOR?

POLI-SCI.

HE'S ALSO ON

THE TRACK TEAM.

THINK "LACE."

WELL, I'M THINKING

"WOMEN'S SHELTER."

REALLY? NO LACE?

POLYESTER, SO FAR!

[DEJECTED] OH.

OH! WHOA. WAIT A MINUTE.

I'M FEELING LACE.

[GASPS]

OH. LOTS OF LACE!

[ALL GASPING]

[GASPING LOUDER]

SEE? WHAT DID I TELL YOU?

NICE CATCH, JENN!

OH!

IT'S A D'ARCET.

-[GASPING DEEPLY] OH...

-IS THAT GOOD?

OH! IT'S LIKE... DIOR.

VERY HAUTE COUTURE.

YEAH. IT'S OLD,

AND IT WASN'T

STORED PROPERLY,

AND THE BOTTOM'S DIRTY.

WASN'T WASHED

AFTER THE WEDDING.

WELL, EVEN IF A DRESS

IS NOT RESTORABLE,

VINTAGE LACE ALONE

IS ALWAYS VALUABLE.

WELL, IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

YOU COULD'VE BOUGHT A CAR

FOR WHAT THIS COST NEW.

[HANNAH]:

WHEN DO YOU THINK THAT WAS?

OH, 30,

40 YEARS AGO?

WE COULD PROBABLY LOOK UP

THE D'ARCET COLLECTION

ONLINE.

-MM-HMM.

-LET'S SEE WHAT'S

SALVAGEABLE.

THERE WE GO.

OH, THEY DON'T MAKE DRESSES

LIKE THIS ANYMORE.

I WISH THEY DID.

OH, PERFECT!

DOESN'T

SHE LOOK PRETTY?

WOW!

[♪♪♪]

SWEETHEART, DINNER

WILL BE IN 15 MINUTES.

[DISTRACTED]: MM.

WAS THAT AN

"I'LL BE RIGHT IN?" MM?

NO, IT'S AN "I'M

CONCENTRATING" MM.

OKAY, THEN.

I'M GONNA CALL LOGAN

AT COMPUTER CAMP BEFORE WE

EAT.

THIS IS NOT BAD.

YOU GET IT

AT THE STORE?

MM-HMM.

ANYTHING INTERESTING

HAPPEN AT WORK?

MM-MM.

[SETS CUTLERY DOWN]

OKAY, I GET IT.

I APOLOGIZE.

THANK YOU.

WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOU?

AH, THINGS HAVE BEEN

REALLY CRAZY AT WORK.

WE GOT THAT NEW BUILDING

GOING UP

AND THE CLIENTS ARE FLYING

OUT

IN A COUPLE WEEKS.

THE WEEK AFTER NEXT?

RIGHT.

HOW LONG ARE THEY HERE?

THROUGH THE WEEKEND,

PROBABLY.

THERE'LL BE ENTERTAINING,

DINNERS...

I'M REALLY NOT

LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.

[♪♪♪]

HOW WAS YOUR DATE

WITH THE FIREMAN?

WAS IT HOT?

VERY FUNNY.

WE HAD A WONDERFUL TIME.

THIS DRESS IS IN BETTER

SHAPE THAN I THOUGHT.

DRYCLEANING,

A FEW LOOSE SEAMS...

PERFECT!

HEY! IS THAT IT?

WOW! THAT'S IT. HUH.

THIS DRESS IS, LIKE,

35 YEARS OLD.

I WONDER WHO THE BRIDE WAS.

AN EXPENSIVE DRESS LIKE

THAT,

IT SURE WASN'T ANYBODY

WHO LIVED IN THAT OLD HOUSE!

OH, THERE'S A LABEL INSIDE

THAT SAYS "STILLMAN'S."

MAYBE IT'S

THE DRESS SHOP.

SEARCH IT.

[KEYS CLACKING]

WELL, THEY'RE STILL

IN BUSINESS,

OVER IN FAIRVIEW.

PRACTICALLY

IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

OOH! HIDDEN POCKET.

OH! SO THE BRIDE COULD

KEEP HER HANDKERCHIEF

OR SOME PERSONAL THINGS.

DANI, LOOK AT THIS.

LOOKS LIKE DRIED BLOOD.

SO WHAT?

SOMEBODY HAD A BLOODY NOSE,

AND THE BRIDE PUT

THE HANDKERCHIEF IN HER

POCKET.

[SCOFFS]

WHY WOULDN'T THE BRIDE

THROW IT AWAY?

WHY GET IT ANYWHERE NEAR

THIS BEAUTIFUL WEDDING

DRESS?

NO. PLEASE, NO!

AREN'T YOU CURIOUS?

NOT PARTICULARLY.

I SMELL A MYSTERY.

[DOOR BELLS JINGLE]

IT'S PROBABLY

NOT ANYTHING,

BUT IT MIGHT BE.

IT'S A NICE DRIVE.

THEY MAY KEEP

RECORDS OF ALL DRESSES

THEY SOLD WAY BACK WHEN,

ESPECIALLY D'ARCET.

[♪♪♪]

[SIGHS]

I'M IMPRESSED.

WHAT?

I'M NOT ADDICTED.

NEITHER AM I!

MAYBE ON THE WAY BACK.

OKAY.

[♪♪♪]

[DANI]: HEY, DON'T YOU GUYS

HAVE AN ANNIVERSARY COMING

UP?

[JENN]: YUP, WE DO.

OH, BOY! I CAN'T

REMEMBER THE LAST TIME

I WAS AT

THE BRIDAL BOUTIQUE.

[SIGHS WISTFULLY]

NEITHER CAN I.

WE DO KEEP RECORDS,

ESPECIALLY WITH

COUTURE DRESSES...

NOT AS FAR BACK

AS THE '70S.

WELL...

THAT'S US.

SOMETIMES,

THERE'S ANOTHER TAG

WITH THE BRIDE'S

MAIDEN NAME

AND WEDDING DATE.

THE LABEL WOULD'VE

HAD BLUE STITCHING.

WHY BLUE?

"SOMETHING BORROWED..."

"...SOMETHING BLUE."

OH. RIGHT.

IT'S BEEN A WHILE.

HERE IT IS!

THE OTHER TAG.

THE BRIDE'S MAIDEN NAME?

JUST HER INITIALS...

"H.W."

CAN YOU THINK OF ANY OTHER

WAY WE COULD TRACE HER?

A DESIGNER DRESS

WOULD MEAN A BIG CHURCH

WEDDING.

YOUR BEST BET IS LOOK

THROUGH

OLD NEWSPAPERS AT THE

LIBRARY.

THERE'LL BE A PICTURE.

NICE WORK!

GONNA START

CALLING YOU "WATSON."

WELL.

[SIGHS] THIS IS

GONNA TAKE FOREVER.

WHY NOT

CUT TO THE CHASE?

BIGGEST MONTH FOR WEDDINGS

IS JUNE,

AND WEDDING ANNOUNCEMENTS

ARE

IN THE "SPECIAL EVENTS"

COLUMN,

EVERY THURSDAY.

WHOSE WEDDING

ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?

I DON'T KNOW.

ACTUALLY, I'M...

I'M LOOKING FOR A DRESS.

OH. A DRESS?

WELL, GOOD LUCK.

[♪♪♪]

BINGO.

IT'S STRANGE.

BIG WEDDING.

THE GROOM DISAPPEARS

RIGHT AFTER THE CEREMONY

AND BEFORE

THE RECEPTION.

HERE WE GO.

OH, YOU ALWAYS

GET CONCERNED

WHEN I'M INVOLVED

WITH A MYSTERY,

BUT THIS TIME,

YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY,

BECAUSE IT HAPPENED

IN 1979.

PERFECT!

AFTER THAT, YOU CAN FIGURE

OUT

WHAT HAPPENED TO AMELIA

EARHART.

YEAH, VERY FUNNY.

ARE YOUR CLIENTS

STILL COMING IN TO TOWN

AT THE END OF THE MONTH?

I THOUGHT MAYBE WE COULD

HAVE THEM OVER FOR DINNER.

I THINK DINNER HERE

WOULD BE A LITTLE BORING

FOR THIS GROUP.

THEY WANT TO GO OUT,

HAVE A FEW DRINKS.

AH. GOT IT.

IT'S A TOUGH JOB,

BUT SOMEONE'S GOT TO DO IT.

AM I RIGHT?

YOU'RE RIGHT!

THAT'S THE SAME DRESS.

CHECK OUT THE ARTICLE--

THE GROOM VANISHES

IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE

WEDDING.

CHARLES AND HELEN CARTER,

OF FAIRVIEW.

BUT THE TAG SAID "H.W."

HELEN CARTER

WOULD BE "H.C."

DANI. HER MAIDEN NAME

WAS "WHITNEY."

WOW!

GOSH, I WONDER

WHAT THE STORY IS.

DID HE EVER TURN UP,

OR DID HE JUST STAY

DISAPPEARED, FOREVER?

[JENN]: SHE'S STILL HERE,

AND SHE'S A PRETTY BIG DEAL.

YEAH!

SHE'S ON THE BOARDS

OF A LOT A CHARITIES.

SCHOLARSHIPS, PROGRAMS

FOR DISADVANTAGED KIDS...

[CLACK]

[DANI]: SHE'S STILL

STUNNING.

AND WE'VE GOT

HER WEDDING DRESS.

UM! HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

ARE YOU KIDDING?

A GROOM DISAPPEARS

IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE

WEDDING,

NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN,

AND WE FIND WHAT COULD BE

BLOODSTAINS ON A HIDDEN

POCKET?

THIS COULD BE EVIDENCE.

JENN, THE DRESS

IS 35 YEARS OLD!

IT'S A COLD CASE!

IT'S NOT COLD,

IT'S FROZEN.

[♪♪♪]

WONDERFUL.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

SHE'LL SEE ME.

WAS THAT HER?

-NO, IT WAS "SEAN."

-OH.

ARE THEY MARRIED?

I DOUBT IT. HE REFERRED TO

HER

AS "MRS. CARTER."

AHH... ARE YOU

TAKING THE DRESS?

UH, NO. I DON'T KNOW

WHERE THE BLOOD CAME FROM.

GONNA DO A LITTLE RESEARCH.

GOOD LUCK WITH THAT,

SLEUTHY.

[♪♪♪]

JENNIFER SHANNON?

YES.

I'M SEAN WATSON.

I WORK FOR MRS. CARTER.

-OH, NICE TO MEET YOU.

-COME ON IN.

THANK YOU.

[GATE CREAKING]

PLEASE WAIT HERE.

THANK YOU.

[♪♪♪]

AH! JENNIFER.

HELLO!

HI.

THANK YOU SO MUCH

FOR COMING OUT.

OH, WELL, THANK YOU

FOR SEEING ME.

I WAS OUT IN THE GARDEN,

DOING SOME WORK.

WE HAVE SOME LEMONADE

ON THE PATIO. SOUND GOOD?

SOUNDS GREAT.

YOUR HOME IS MAGNIFICENT.

OH, THANK YOU.

A LITTLE RIDICULOUS

FOR ONE PERSON,

BUT WONDERFUL

FOR FUNDRAISERS AND SUCH!

IS THAT CARPET

AUBUSSON?

I DON'T KNOW.

MY MOTHER DID

THE HOUSE YEARS AGO.

YOUR SHOP

SOUNDS FASCINATING.

I'M GONNA DROP BY.

CUTE NAME.

THANK YOU.

WE BUY A LOT OF

OLD ITEMS FOR THE STORE,

AND, UH, RECENTLY

CAME UPON A WEDDING DRESS

THAT I THINK COULD BE YOURS.

OH. THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW

ABOUT MY WEDDING?

WELL, I... I SAW

A NEWSPAPER ARTICLE

THAT SAID YOUR HUSBAND

SUDDENLY DISAPPEARED.

IS THAT TRUE?

YES.

WE NEVER HEARD FROM HIM

AGAIN.

I'M SO SORRY.

THANK YOU.

OH, IT GOT PRETTY WILD...

YOU KNOW, ALL THE

SPECULATION.

HE WAS KIDNAPPED

AND HELD FOR RANSOM,

THEN HE FOUGHT BACK

AND WAS KILLED.

HE RAN OFF

TO THE SOUTH SEAS.

HE HAD A BREAKDOWN

AND WAS LIVING

WITH THE HOMELESS,

AND, UM... OH!

AND THEN THERE WAS TALK

THAT I HAD HIM KILLED

FOR HIS FAMILY MONEY.

I MEAN, REALLY,

WOULDN'T I HAVE HAD THE

DECENCY

TO WAIT TILL

AFTER THE RECEPTION?

AND FOR THE MONEY?

UH... WELL.

MY FAMILY HAD MORE THAN HIS,

ACTUALLY.

WHY IS IT NOT POSSIBLE

FOR THE DRESS TO HAVE

REAPPEARED

AFTER ALL THESE YEARS?

I GAVE IT TO MY MAID...

TO BURN IT.

OH, MY GOODNESS!

[ASTONISHED CHUCKLE]

THAT LOOKS LIKE THE DRESS,

BUT...

I-IT CAN'T BE.

I MEAN,

SURELY, THERE WERE OTHERS.

IT HAS A STILLMAN'S LABEL

AND YOUR INITIALS

ARE IN IT.

PERHAPS THE MAID

DIDN'T BURN IT,

MAYBE SHE JUST HID IT.

[♪♪♪]

WOULD YOU LIKE IT BACK?

I NEVER WANT TO SEE IT

AGAIN.

MAY I BUY IT FROM YOU?

I CAN TRUST SEAN

TO DESTROY IT.

I WON'T SELL IT TO YOU.

IT'S YOURS.

YOU CAN HAVE IT.

SEAN CAN COME BY

AND PICK IT UP

WHENEVER HE HAS TIME.

[♪♪♪]

[CELLPHONE BEGINS RINGING]

HI, HONEY.

OH, I-I CAN'T TODAY.

I'M... RUNNING SOME ERRANDS.

WHERE AM I?

WELL, I'M JUST TRYING TO

FIND SOME HISTORY OUT

ON THAT WEDDING DRESS.

I ALWAYS STAY OUT OF

TROUBLE.

[LAUGHS]

OKAY. I'LL SEE YOU LATER.

BYE.

[♪♪♪]

YEAH.

I'D SAY

IT'S DEFINITELY BLOOD,

BUT IS IT HUMAN OR ANIMAL?

WELL, I CAN RUN SOME TESTS.

HOW LONG

WILL THAT TAKE?

WELL, IT WON'T BE A

PRIORITY.

WHERE DID THIS COME FROM?

IT'S AN INNER POCKET

FROM A DRESS

THAT CAME INTO THE STORE.

HOW OLD

IS THE DRESS?

IT'S FROM 1979.

[SCOFFS]

THAT'S A LONG TIME AGO.

IF THIS BLOOD

CAME FROM AN INJURY,

THAT PERSON MIGHT STILL

BE AROUND.

I HOPE SO.

DID YOU WORK HERE THEN?

OH, YOU'RE VERY FUNNY.

I WAS IN COLLEGE.

AND I HAVE AN AUTOPSY TO DO.

WOULD YOU, UH, LIKE TO

OBSERVE?

THANK YOU VERY MUCH

FOR THE INVITE,

BUT I THINK I WILL PASS.

I'LL CALL YOU WHEN I GET

THE RESULTS BACK ON THE

STAIN.

AND THANKS FOR THE HUMOR,

IT'S USUALLY PRETTY DEAD

AROUND HERE.

OH! I'M GOING NOW.

I'LL BE HERE ALL WEEK.

DON'T QUIT YOUR DAY JOB.

I WOULD,

BUT IT'S KILLING ME.

OH, BOY.

[BOTH LAUGHING]

[DOOR BELLS JINGLE]

-THANK YOU.

-ANY TIME.

-HEY, DANI!

-HI!

THIS IS TYLER.

-TYLER.

-HI.

NICE TO MEET YOU.

WHERE'S MOM?

OH, SHE'S ON A QUEST.

THE WEDDING DRESS?

YUP! MM-HMM.

I GOTTA RUN.

-BYE.

-TAKE CARE.

YOU TOO.

[BELLS JINGLING]

LOOKS LIKE

IT'S GOING WELL.

YEAH... I DON'T KNOW.

I WASN'T LOOKING

FOR ANYTHING SERIOUS,

BUT I THINK IT MIGHT

BE GETTING THAT WAY.

-REALLY?

-I THINK SO.

I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS.

I THINK HE HAS SOMETHING

IMPORTANT ON HIS MIND.

IMPORTANT?

"IMPORTANT" IMPORTANT?

YOU'RE A JUNIOR IN COLLEGE!

HOW IMPORTANT

DO YOU WANT IT TO BE?

I DON'T KNOW.

WHEN YOU FIND "THE ONE,"

HOW DO YOU KNOW?

OHH...

HONEY, YOU'RE ASKING

THE WRONG PERSON.

I FOUND "THE ONE."

AND THEN I FOUND THE NEXT

"ONE."

RIGHT.

YOU WANT HELP?

-YES, PLEASE.

-ALL RIGHT.

IT WASN'T A CRIME.

A MISSING PERSONS'

COMPLAINT. YOU KNOW?

AN ADULT HAS

THE RIGHT TO DISAPPEAR,

IF THEY SO WANT TO.

THEY HAVE THE RIGHT

TO BE A RUNAWAY GROOM,

EVEN IF THEY WAIT

UNTIL AFTER THE CEREMONY.

BUT HE WAS NEVER

HEARD FROM AGAIN.

PEOPLE DON'T JUST VANISH!

AS A MATTER OF FACT,

THEY DO.

AND THE DISTRICT ATTORNEYS,

THEY GOT THIS SAYING--

"NO BODY, NO CRIME."

WAS THERE AN INVESTIGATION?

WELL, THERE WAS,

BUT IT DIDN'T GO ANYWHERE.

THE FAMILY HIRED A P.I.

HE CAME UP WITH ZILCH,

REALLY.

LISTEN.

I JUST GOTTA SAY

I AM SO RELIEVED

TO SEE THAT YOU ARE STAYING

CLEAR OF ALL THE CURRENT

CASES.

I SUPPORT THIS

WHOLEHEARTEDLY.

MUCH SAFER.

THANK YOU.

NOW-- AND

I HATE TO ASK,

BUT WHY YOU THINK

A MISSING PERSON'S CASE

FROM 1979

IS ANYTHING BUT THAT?

OKAY.

I SAW A WEDDING PICTURE,

A BRIDE AND A GROOM,

JUST MARRIED.

THE BRIDE GOES INTO

THE LADIES' ROOM

TO FIX HER MAKE-UP,

AND WHEN SHE COMES OUT,

HER HUSBAND IS GONE.

NEVER TO BE HEARD FROM

AGAIN.

AND THERE'S BLOOD IN A

HIDDEN

POCKET ON HER WEDDING DRESS.

THAT'S IT?

THAT'S ALL YOU GOT?

HOW HAVE MY HUNCHES

WORKED OUT IN THE PAST?

PRETTY GOOD.

WELL...

I GOT A HUNCH.

AY-YI-YI. [SIGHS]

WHO DID THE INITIAL

INVESTIGATION,

WHEN THEY DETERMINED IT

A "MISSING PERSONS" CASE?

DETECTIVE STAN PATEL.

OH, HE MUST BE RETIRED BY

NOW.

HE'LL PROBABLY

HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO TALK.

PROBABLY NOT.

HE'S DEAD.

MM-HMM.

[TYLER]:

NOW YOU GOTTA TRY THIS.

IT'S GOING TO BE HOT,

BUT THAT'S HUNAN.

HUMAN?

"WHO-NAN."

GO AHEAD.

OH!

[EXHALING] OH... THAT'S HOT.

BUT...?

IT'S GOOD.

WOW.

OKAY, I'LL TRY A SMALLER

BITE.

OKAY. OKAY.

SMALLER BITE.

MM...

MM, NICE KICK.

MM-HMM.

SO WHY DO THEY CALL IT

HUNAN?

IT'S A PROVINCE,

IT'S LIKE A STATE.

DIFFERENT PROVINCES IN CHINA

HAVE DIFFERENT CUISINE.

WHEN DID YOU GET

SO INTO CHINESE FOOD?

PRETTY RECENTLY, ACTUALLY.

SO...

THERE'S SOMETHING

YOU WANTED TO TALK ABOUT?

MAYBE IN A WEEK.

NOT YET.

YOU'RE MEAN!

I JUST NEED TO BE SURE.

ARE YOU NOT SURE?

I'M PRETTY SURE.

MAY I GET YOU ANYTHING ELSE?

WE'RE FINE.

[SPEAKS CHINESE]

NOW YOU GOTTA TRY THIS.

[♪♪♪]

[SIGHS]

[DOORBELL JINGLES]

HI, JENN.

HI!

MEET MY SON, MATT.

HE WORKS WITH ME,

KEEPING THAT BIG HOUSE

UP AND RUNNING.

IT'S VERY NICE

TO MEET YOU, MATT.

PLEASURE, MA'AM.

I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

THERE'S A LOT OF

COOL STUFF HERE.

GO AHEAD AND LOOK AROUND

WHILE I PICK UP THE DRESS.

WELL...

HERE YOU GO.

WHAT ARE YOU

GOING TO DO WITH IT?

WELL, I'M GONNA

BURN IT.

JUST AS

MRS. CARTER WISHES.

I NOTICED THERE WAS

A SCHOOL VAN AT THE HOUSE.

WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?

MRS. CARTER FUNDS

A MATH PROGRAM

FOR UNDERPRIVILEGED KIDS

WHO SHOW EXCEPTIONAL

ABILITY.

WOW.

I-I DIDN'T WANT TO PRY

WHEN I WAS THERE,

BUT...

DOES CHARLES CARTER HAVE

ANY LIVING RELATIVES?

BOTH PARENTS HAVE PASSED.

THERE'S A SISTER, ALICE,

IN BOSTON.

MRS. CARTER

ASKED ME TO CONVEY

HER SINCERE GRATITUDE

IN SEEING THIS RETURNED.

MY PLEASURE.

MATT?

BYE, NOW.

BYE.

SHOULD I BE CONCERNED?

I DON'T THINK SO.

I DON'T KNOW.

THIS ROMANCE WITH TYLER,

IT'S...

IT'S GETTING

A LITTLE TOO INVOLVED.

WELL, MY PARENTS

WEREN'T THRILLED

WHEN WE GOT ENGAGED.

THEY THOUGHT

I WAS TOO YOUNG.

YOU WERE TOO YOUNG.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

WHAT, LIKE WE MADE A

MISTAKE?

NO! WE WERE BOTH SENIORS.

HANNAH AND TYLER,

THEY'RE JUNIORS.

RIGHT.

BIG DIFFERENCE.

[♪♪♪]

HEY.

OH, HEY.

SO...

WHY ARE YOU BOTHERING

TO FIX AN OLD STEREO,

WHEN YOU COULD JUST

DOWNLOAD 1,000 SONGS

ONTO A FLASH-DRIVE

AND HEAR THEM

THROUGH EAR-BUDS?

DIGITAL

IS LIKE FAST FOOD.

"OLD STEREO" IS LIKE DINING

AT A FINE FRENCH RESTAURANT.

WHICH WOULD YOU PREFER?

DEPENDS ON WHO'S BUYING.

[CHUCKLES]

[CLICK]

SO...

WHEN DID YOU KNOW

YOU WERE GONNA MARRY MOM?

WHEN I FIRST SAW HER.

SHE WAS STUDYING BY HERSELF

AT THE LIBRARY.

I WATCHED HER FOR A COUPLE

WEEKS

BEFORE I MADE MY MOVE.

YOU STALKED MOM?

WE USED TO

CALL IT SHYNESS.

AND SHE JUST

WENT OUT WITH YOU?

EVENTUALLY.

SHE WAS CHARMED

BY MY PERSISTENCE, GOOD

LOOKS,

AND FUTURE EARNING

POTENTIAL.

AHH. SHE SAID

SHE WENT OUT WITH YOU

TO MAKE HER BOYFRIEND

JEALOUS.

[CHUCKLES]

SO WHY THE SUDDEN INTEREST

IN HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER?

I DON'T KNOW.

JUST WONDERING.

HMM.

UH, I'M GONNA

CALL IT A NIGHT.

GOODNIGHT, DAD.

GOODNIGHT, SWEETIE.

[♪♪♪]

HUH.

IT'S OUR ANNIVERSARY, DANI.

IT'S LIKE

HE'S COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN.

I'M SURE

HE HASN'T.

REALLY?

HE'S GOT CLIENTS COMING IN

FROM OUT OF TOWN,

HE'S ENTERTAINING ON THE

NIGHT.

HAVE YOU

TALKED TO HIM ABOUT IT?

NO! IT DOESN'T COUNT

IF YOU HAVE TO REMIND THEM

THAT IT'S YOUR ANNIVERSARY.

BUT HE'S MAKING ME... OOH!

UH-OH.

[BELLS JINGLE]

HI.

WHO'S JENNIFER?

THAT WOULD BE ME.

I GOT A CALL

FROM FRANK LYNWOOD.

HE SAID THAT YOU WERE

INTERESTED

IN THE CHARLES CARTER CASE.

-I AM.

-THIS SHOULD BE ALL THE

STUFF.

-OH!

-OH, IT'S HEAVY.

OH, WELL, YOU CAN PUT IT

RIGHT THERE. THANK YOU!

MY DAD WAS A DETECTIVE

ON THE CASE.

DETECTIVE PATEL?

RIGHT.

I'M HIS SON, KEITH.

OH!

DAD KEPT EVERYTHING.

THERE'S INTERVIEWS, NOTES,

OLD PHOTOS...

ALL KINDS OF STUFF.

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO

JUST WADE THROUGH IT ALL.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

YOU KNOW, THIS ONE

ALWAYS PUZZLED MY DAD.

I REMEMBER HIM

TALKING ABOUT IT.

DID HE EVER SAY WHAT

HE THOUGHT MIGHT'VE

HAPPENED?

[KEITH]: JUST THAT THE TRUTH

WOULD HAVE TO COME OUT

SOMEDAY.

THIS CASE ALWAYS BUGGED HIM.

LISTEN,

WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH ALL

THAT,

JUST GO AHEAD AND CHUCK IT.

THANK YOU, KEITH.

I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

-BYE.

-[BELLS JINGLING]

OH!

DANI! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?

IT'S LIKE CHRISTMAS CAME

EARLY!

OH! LOOK AT ALL THESE FILES!

I LIKE JEWELRY.

[♪♪♪]

[JENN]: PICTURES OF THE

DRESS,

PAST AND PRESENT.

NOW, THE BLOODWORK'S NOT

BACK,

BUT LET'S ASSUME IT'S HUMAN.

WELL, WHO ELSE IS GONNA

BE AT A WEDDING? A DOG?

THAT'S WHY I'M

ASSUMING IT'S HUMAN.

MAY I?

YES. PLEASE.

SORRY. CONTINUE.

HERE'S HELEN.

LAST PERSON

TO SEE CHARLES ALIVE.

AND HERE'S CHARLES.

DISAPPEARS RIGHT BEFORE

THE WEDDING RECEPTION.

TED THOMPSON, BEST MAN.

MEG RICHMOND, MAID OF HONOR.

THIS IS A PHOTO OF THE

COUPLE

RIGHT BEFORE

THEY LEFT THE CHAPEL.

WOW. RIGHT BEFORE

HE DISAPPEARED?

THAT'S THE LAST PHOTO TAKEN

OF CHARLES.

HE DOES NOT

LOOK LIKE A MAN

WHO JUST GOT MARRIED.

NO, BUT MAYBE HE'S TIRED,

OR THEY'RE THEMSELVES

BEFORE THE RECEPTION.

DID YOU STAY UP

ALL NIGHT?

YES. I WANTED TO READ

THE POLICE TRANSCRIPTS.

NOBODY HAD ANY REASON

TO HARM CHARLES.

EVERYBODY THOUGHT

THAT HE AND HELEN

WERE A GREAT COUPLE

AND VERY MUCH IN LOVE.

THIS ONE ISN'T SO HARD.

REALLY?

THE GUY FREAKED OUT!

HE WAS RICH.

EVERYONE WENT OUT ONE DOOR,

HE WENT OUT THE OTHER,

KEPT GOING.

MONEY IN A SWISS BANK

ACCOUNT,

HE'S LIVING

IN THE SOUTH OF FRANCE.

I DON'T THINK SO.

MM. WHAT ARE YOUR THEORIES?

KIDNAPPING? MURDER?

ALIEN ABDUCTION?

OH! YES. GOOD ONE.

ANY AND ALL OF THE ABOVE.

WELL, NOW

WE'RE GETTING SOMEWHERE.

PEOPLE WILL START

TELLING THE TRUTH.

YOU JUST HAVE TO

KEEP ASKING.

MY BACHELOR'S WAS

IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING.

SIX YEARS,

UNDERGRAD AND GRAD ALL IN

ONE.

SOUNDS LIKE YOU WERE

PRETTY FOCUSED, MR. SHANNON.

YEAH. ALL I EVER WANTED TO

DO

WAS BUILD THINGS.

HANNAH TELLS ME YOU'RE

STUDYING

POLITICAL SCIENCE.

YEAH. I HOPE TO GO INTO

INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS.

AND... ACTUALLY,

THERE'S SOMETHING IMPORTANT

I WANTED TO SHARE.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

I, UH...

I'VE JUST BEEN ACCEPTED

INTO THE YEAR-ABROAD PROGRAM

AT SCHOOL.

I'M GOING TO CHINA.

THAT'S GREAT, TYLER.

CONGRATULATIONS.

WOW...

CHINA.

WE CAN SKYPE ALL THE TIME.

IT'LL BE LIKE

YOU'RE RIGHT NEXT DOOR.

[THUMPS TABLE]

WHO'S HAVING

DESSERT?

[♪♪♪]

[SIGHS]

YOU KNOW, YOU KINDA MESSED

UP.

YEAH, I'M GETTING

THAT IMPRESSION.

YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE

SPRUNG IT ON HER.

I DIDN'T KNOW

I WOULD GET IN.

THE PROGRAM WAS FULL.

SOMEONE HAD TO DROP OUT.

OH, YOUR

GIRLFRIEND THINKS

YOU'RE GONNA SPEND

YOUR SENIOR YEAR TOGETHER

AND THEN YOU PULL THE RUG

OUT

FROM UNDER HER?

IT'S BAD.

WELL... [SIGHS]

WHAT SHOULD I SAY?

"SORRY" IS ALWAYS A GOOD

START.

[TYLER]: CAN WE TALK?

SURE.

CAN YOU STOP

TEXTING, PLEASE?

I'M SORRY.

I WAS GONNA TELL YOU

WHEN WE WENT FOR CHINESE

FOOD,

BUT IT WASN'T OFFICIAL.

NO BIGGIE.

YOU JUST TOOK ME BY

SURPRISE.

YOU SURE?

IT'S COOL.

ANYWAY, I HAVE

A PSYCH PAPER TO DO,

SO I SHOULD PROBABLY

GET TO IT.

IT'S NOT GONNA

BE THAT LONG.

I'LL BE HOME

FOR CHRISTMAS.

YOU'LL HARDLY BE GONE.

CHINA WILL BE GREAT.

WE CAN WRITE LETTERS.

[♪♪♪]

WHAT?

YOU TELL ME.

NOTHING TO TELL YOU.

EVERYTHING'S FINE.

GOOD.

[TEARFULLY]: NO.

IT'S NOT.

[SOBS]

I REALLY LOVE HIM, MOM.

I DON'T WANT HIM TO GO.

I KNOW, HANNAH.

I KNOW.

I HATE TO LOSE

MY LUNCH HOURS,

SO CAN WE GET THIS

OVER WITH?

WOULDN'T IT BE AMAZING

IF, AFTER ALL THESE YEARS,

WE FIGURED OUT WHAT HAPPENED

TO CHARLES CARTER?

NOT REALLY.

I'M JUST HERE

BECAUSE I OWE YOU ONE.

AND I APPRECIATE THAT.

I JUST WANT TO SEE

WHERE EVERYBODY WAS

AND WHERE EVERYBODY WENT.

HERE WE GO.

AFTER THE PICTURES,

EVERYONE WENT

OUT THE FRONT DOORS,

STRAIGHT TO THE GUILD HALL

TO THE RECEPTION,

EXCEPT CHARLES AND HELEN,

WHO WAITED BEHIND.

NOW, THE PHOTOGRAPHER

WAS PACKING UP HIS

EQUIPMENT.

HE SAID THEY SEEMED QUIET,

THEY WERE BARELY TALKING,

WHICH STRUCK HIM AS ODD,

BECAUSE NEWLYWEDS

ARE USUALLY UP AND EXCITED.

EVENTUALLY,

THEY WENT OUT THE SIDE DOOR.

SIDE DOOR!

"SIDE DOOR."

THIS IS FUN,

ISN'T IT?

YEAH.

EVERYBODY

WAS ALREADY INSIDE,

WAITING FOR THEM

TO MAKE THEIR BIG ENTRANCE.

THEY CAME IN THE BACK, HERE.

DOWN HERE IS THE DOOR

TO THE RECEPTION HALL.

HELEN WANTED

TO FIX HER MAKE-UP,

SO SHE WENT INTO

THE LADIES' ROOM RIGHT

THERE.

WHEN SHE CAME OUT,

CHARLES SHOULD'VE BEEN

STANDING

RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE,

BUT HE WASN'T.

NOW SHE'S CONFUSED.

WHERE IS HE?

SO...

SHE GOES THIS WAY.

HELEN IS NOW FRANTICALLY

SEARCHING FOR CHARLES.

HE'S NOWHERE TO BE FOUND.

THE GROOMSMEN

SPRING INTO ACTION.

THEY LOOK IN THE CHAPEL,

THE RECTORY.

THEY EVEN GET IN THEIR CARS

AND SEARCH THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

CAN'T FIND HIM.

MEANWHILE,

BACK AT THE RECEPTION,

HELEN IS LOSING IT.

THE POLICE ARE CALLED.

DETECTIVE PATEL COMES IN

AND INTERVIEWS

THE WEDDING PARTY.

WOW. HALLWAY.

"HALLWAY."

THIS IS THE LAST-KNOWN

LOCATION

FOR CHARLES.

HELEN GOES TO THE RESTROOM

TO FIX HER MAKEUP,

AND HE DOES... WHAT?

WELL, HE GOES OUT THE BACK

DOOR

AND HE RUNS AWAY.

MAYBE HE RUNS.

OR...

"OR..."

[♪♪♪]

HE COULD HAVE HIDDEN IN

HERE.

SO, NOW YOU HAVE HIM

HIDING IN HERE

BECAUSE HE CAN'T BRING

HIMSELF

TO ATTEND THE RECEPTION.

BUT HE MANNED UP

AND GOT THROUGH THE WEDDING?

I DON'T BUY IT.

WELL, THERE ARE OTHER

THEORIES.

HIS PARENTS HAD A LOT OF

MONEY.

I MEAN, WHO WOULD'VE SEEN IT

IF KIDNAPPERS PULLED UP

TO THE BACK OF THE HALL,

GRABBED HIM WHILE HELEN

WAS DOING HER MAKE-UP,

AND TOOK OFF?

AND THEN FORGET

TO ASK FOR A RANSOM?

WELL, MAYBE THEY TOOK HIM

SOMEWHERE TO HOLD HIM,

HE TRIED TO ESCAPE,

THERE WAS A STRUGGLE

AND HE ENDED UP DEAD.

THAT WOULD EXPLAIN WHY

NO ONE EVER HEARD FROM HIM

AGAIN

AND THERE WAS NO RANSOM.

YOU'RE REACHING.

AND THIS ALL HAPPENED,

LIKE, 35 YEARS AGO.

THERE'S NO STATUTE

OF LIMITATIONS ON MURDER.

[SCOFFS] OKAY.

DO YOU HAVE ANY EVIDENCE

TO SUPPORT SUCH A THING?

ANYTHING?

WORKING ON IT.

[PROJECTOR CLICKS AND WHIRS]

AHH... AH-HAH!

[BELLS JINGLING]

[PROJECTOR SLOWING TO A

HALT]

I BROUGHT THIS FOR YOU

FROM THE SALON.

IT'S THE LATEST ISSUE OF

TODAY'S MODERN WOMAN.

OH, FOR GOODNESS SAKES.

YOU KNOW I HATE THESE

MAGAZINES.

IF YOU THINK THAT JASON'S

FORGOTTEN YOUR ANNIVERSARY,

LEAVE THAT LYING AROUND,

LIKE ON HIS WORKBENCH...

GIVE HIM SOME IDEAS.

"CELLULITE LIFETIME CURE."

WHAT?

NO, NO, NO, THE ARTICLE ON

"EXCITING

WEDDING ANNIVERSARY IDEAS."

HERE IT IS.

"GO FOR A HOT-AIR BALLOON

RIDE."

-OOH!

-"SWIM WITH THE DOLPHINS."

FUN!

"COUPLES' BUNGEE-JUMPING."

REALLY?

WELL, YOU'RE THE ONE

WHO'S ALL GRUMPY,

THINKING HE'S BLOWING YOU

OFF

TO ENTERTAIN CLIENTS.

WHAT DO YOU WANT HIM TO DO?

CANCEL THEM?

NO, BUT HE COULD

SEND ME FLOWERS,

OR PROMISE ME

A NICE WEEKEND AWAY.

IS THAT ALL THERE IS?

GRUNTING AT EACH OTHER

IN PASSING?

YEP. THAT'S IT.

[GASPS] OH, YOU'RE MEAN!

-I DIDN'T MAKE THE RULES.

-MEAN, MEAN.

[♪♪♪]

WELL, IT IS

DEFINITELY HUMAN BLOOD.

TYPE "O"-NEG,

AT THAT.

IS THAT SIGNIFICANT?

IT'S QUITE UNCOMMON--

ONLY 8% OF THE POPULATION.

WAIT A MINUTE.

HERE IT IS.

CHARLES CARTER WAS

"O"-NEGATIVE.

IT'S A LITTLE SUSPICIOUS,

GRANTED,

BUT IT WOULDN'T GET YOU

ANYWHERE

IN A COURT OF LAW.

WHY? WHY NOT,

IF IT'S THAT RARE?

I SAID "UNCOMMON,"

NOT RARE.

OUT OF 100 PEOPLE,

8 WOULD HAVE THAT BLOOD

TYPE.

OKAY, WELL, THEN

CROSS-REFERENCE THOSE EIGHT

WITH PEOPLE WHO DISAPPEARED

UNDER SUSPICIOUS

CIRCUMSTANCES.

WELL...

YOU MAY HAVE A POINT.

I THINK THESE BLOODSTAINS

ARE FROM CHARLES CARTER.

[♪♪♪]

THIS IS A BIG CLUE.

NOT ONLY IS IT HUMAN BLOOD,

IT MATCHES

CHARLES'S UNCOMMON TYPE.

BUT...

WHAT ABOUT

HELEN'S BLOOD TYPE?

OR THE MAID OF HONOR'S?

OR THE WHOLE REST

OF THE WEDDING PARTY?

WELL, ALL I KNOW IS

THERE IS

A 92% PROBABILITY

THAT THEIRS

IS NOT "O"-NEGATIVE,

SO I AM GOING WITH THAT.

CHARLES CARTER SEEMINGLY

HAD EVERYTHING AHEAD OF HIM.

HANDSOME, ATHLETIC, WEALTHY,

MARRYING A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN,

AND, POOF, HE JUST

DISAPPEARS.

BEST MAN WAS KINDA CUTE.

-TED, RIGHT?

-RIGHT.

WONDER WHAT

HE LOOKS LIKE NOW.

OH, I'LL LET YOU KNOW.

I'M SEEING HIM

THIS AFTERNOON.

-MM?

-MM.

[♪♪♪]

-HELLO.

-HI.

HI. YOU MUST BE JENN.

YES, THANK YOU

FOR SEEING ME, MR.--

-AH!

-OH! ...MR. THOMPSON.

TED. PLEASE.

UH, LISTEN, I'M JUST DOING

A LITTLE WORK ON MY BABY.

WOULD YOU MIND IF WE TALK

WHILE I WORK?

OH, NOT AT ALL.

SO, I'M CURIOUS.

WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO FIGURE

OUT

SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED

MORE THAN 30 YEARS AGO?

OH, I LOVE MYSTERIES.

I LIKE TO SOLVE 'EM.

BOTHERS ME

WHEN I CAN'T.

SO YOU WANT TO SOLVE

THE MYSTERY OF

THE DISAPPEARING BRIDEGROOM?

I DO.

THAT'S A WEDDING JOKE.

-[BOTH LAUGHING]

-ATTEMPT AT.

WELL, HERE SHE IS.

1970 CHEVELLE SS.

BOUGHT HER ABOUT 30 YEARS

AGO,

FRAME-UP RESTORATION.

PRETTY SWEET, HUH?

MY HUSBAND WOULD LOVE THIS.

WELL, SEND

HIM ON BY.

I'LL LET HIM

TAKE IT FOR A SPIN.

ARE YOU KIDDING? I'M AFRAID

I WOULDN'T GET HIM BACK.

[TED LAUGHS]

SO, WHAT'S YOUR THEORY?

I, UH, READ A TRANSCRIPT

OF AN INTERVIEW

YOU GAVE

TO DETECTIVE PATEL.

SO YOU KNOW

THE STORY.

WELL, PART OF IT.

YOU AND CHARLES

WERE CHILDHOOD FRIENDS?

UH, WELL,

MY FATHER WAS THE GARDENER

FOR THEIR ESTATE,

SO, YES, CHARLES AND I

GREW UP TOGETHER,

BUT WE'RE AS DIFFERENT

AS DIFFERENT COULD BE.

HOW SO?

WELL, I WAS

A SCRAPPY NON-CONFORMIST.

I RODE A MOTORCYCLE.

CHARLES, HE HAD A WHOLE

DIFFERENT SET OF

EXPECTATIONS.

RIGHT? HE WAS SUPPOSED TO

TAKE OVER THE FAMILY

BUSINESS,

AND IT WAS THE WHOLE

COUNTRY-CLUB LIFESTYLE.

I MEAN, SOCIETY BALLS

AND WHATNOT.

IT MUST'VE

BEEN STRANGE

TO BE PART

OF A SOCIETY WEDDING.

I THOUGHT IT WAS A HOOT.

YOU KNOW, THE FUNNY THING

IS,

I'M LIVING THE LIFE

THAT CHARLES WANTED.

ALL RIGHT, I LOOK BACK ON

IT,

AND I THINK I DID OKAY.

I MEAN, I OWN THIS PLACE.

DID YOU KNOW HELEN AS WELL?

SHE WAS, YOU KNOW,

MY BEST FRIEND'S FIANCEE,

SO YEAH,

WE SAW EACH OTHER,

BUT, I MEAN, WE WERE FROM

TWO DIFFERENT WORLDS.

IT WAS A WHOLE

UPSTAIRS/DOWNSTAIRS THING.

HOW DID SHE HANDLE IT,

AFTER THE DISAPPEARANCE?

HARD.

CHARLES'S PARENTS

SPENT A LOT OF MONEY

TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT,

AND THEY CAME UP WITH ZIP.

AFTER THAT,

SHE JUST LOCKED HERSELF

AWAY.

I NEVER SPOKE TO HER SINCE,

AND I NEVER SAW HER AGAIN.

DID YOU TRY

TO SEE HER?

I, UH...

CALLED A COUPLE OF TIMES.

DROPPED BY.

SHE WOULDN'T SEE ME.

I THINK IT WAS TOO PAINFUL.

WHAT ABOUT

THE MAID OF HONOR MEG

RICHMOND?

HAVE YOU TALKED TO HER?

NO, I NEVER

SPOKE TO MEG.

THEY WERE A PART

OF THE SAME CROWD.

DO YOU THINK IT'S POSSIBLE

THAT SOMEONE

WANTED TO HARM CHARLES?

WELL, I SUPPOSE

ANYTHING'S POSSIBLE.

NOTHING I KNEW ABOUT,

THOUGH.

I WANT TO SHOW YOU

SOMETHING.

HAVE A LOOK AT THAT.

IT'S DATED 1989.

NO MESSAGE.

10 YEARS

SINCE CHARLES DISAPPEARED,

TO THE DAY.

DID YOU TAKE THIS

TO THE POLICE?

WELL, YEAH,

BUT THERE'S NOTHING

TO CONNECT IT

WITH CHARLES.

I MEAN, IT'S NOT EVEN

HIS HANDWRITING.

WELL, MAYBE SOMEONE

ELSE ADDRESSED IT.

YEAH. MAYBE.

I JUST THINK IT'S A SICK

JOKE.

YOU CAN KEEP THAT, IF YOU

WANT.

WHAT DO YOU THINK

HAPPENED TO CHARLES?

I'VE THOUGHT A LOT ABOUT

THAT

OVER THE YEARS.

I LIKE TO THINK

HE'S ALIVE AND WELL.

[BELLS JINGLING]

OH, HEY, TYLER.

HEY, MRS. SHANNON.

HANNAH'S NOT WORKING TODAY.

I KNOW.

ARE YOU OKAY?

I DON'T THINK SO.

CAN I BUY YOU A CUP

OF COFFEE OR SOMETHING?

I NEED YOUR ADVICE.

SURE.

I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

OKAY.

I'M NOT REALLY SLEEPING.

IT JUST KEEPS GOING AROUND

IN MY HEAD.

HANNAH'S BEEN SO DISTANT.

I KNOW SHE CARES,

SO WHY IS SHE ACTING

LIKE SHE DOESN'T?

OH, SHE CARES.

I'VE NEVER FELT THIS WAY

ABOUT A GIRL BEFORE.

I'M THINKING ABOUT NOT GOING

IF IT MEANS THAT MUCH TO

HER.

TYLER...

IF YOU DON'T GO TO CHINA,

YOU MIGHT REGRET THAT

DECISION

FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.

BUT IF I LOSE HANNAH,

IT MIGHT BE WORSE.

MAYBE.

I'M AFRAID

THERE IS NO EASY ANSWER.

YOU CAN'T JUST TELL ME

WHAT TO DO?

OH, SWEETHEART,

I WISH I COULD.

EVERY RELATIONSHIP HAS

BUMPS,

YOU JUST HAVE TO

FIND YOUR WAY THROUGH.

THIS FEELS MORE LIKE

A SINKHOLE.

[♪♪♪]

PATEL'S NOTES SAY

THAT THERE ARE A NUMBER

OF DIFFERENT HOME MOVIES

THAT ARE SPLICED TOGETHER

ON ONE REEL.

OKAY.

[WHIRRING]

[♪♪♪]

WAIT A MINUTE.

WAS THAT HELEN AND TED

IN THE BACKGROUND?

OH, I DON'T KNOW.

IT WENT BY SO FAST,

I CAN'T TELL.

CAN YOU PAUSE IT?

NO. I DON'T THINK

YOU CAN PAUSE FILM.

IT'LL MELT OR SOMETHING.

CAN THAT BE DIGITIZED?

I DON'T KNOW. PROBABLY.

YOU'D HAVE TO FIND A PLACE

THAT DOES THAT.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I THINK'S IT TIME TO GO

HOME.

FOR YOU, TOO.

IF YOU'RE NOT

IRRITATED WITH ME,

THEN HOW COME

I HAVE THAT FEELING?

I DON'T KNOW.

YOU SURE?

JUST TIRED.

HONEY,

IF YOU DON'T TELL ME,

I CAN'T FIX IT.

SWEETHEART, YOU DON'T

HAVE TO "FIX" ANYTHING.

GOODNIGHT. LOVE YOU.

[SIGHS]

LOVE YOU, TOO.

[♪♪♪]

[DANI]: SO?

WELL, I THINK HE'S FINALLY

STARTING TO GET THE MESSAGE.

THEY DO NEED

A LOT OF GUIDANCE.

MM.

[BELLS JINGLE]

FLOWERS FOR JENNIFER

SHANNON?

OH. OVER HERE.

-OH...

-HERE YOU GO.

-THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

-HAVE A GREAT DAY.

YOU TOO.

"I BLEW IT. I'M SORRY.

"I'LL TAKE YOU AND THE...

KIDS

"OUT FOR A SPECIAL DINNER

TO MAKE UP.

LOVE, JASON."

HE DIDN'T.

-HE DID!

-WITH THE KIDS?

-WITH THE KIDS.

-WOW.

OH... WELL, APPARENTLY,

HE ONLY GOT HALF THE

MESSAGE.

[BELLS JINGLE]

[SIGHS QUIETLY]

HELLO!

WELCOME TO RAGS TO RICHES.

I'M LOOKING FOR THE OWNER,

A MRS. SHANNON?

OH, I'M JENNIFER SHANNON.

I'M ALICE CARTER.

CHARLES'S LITTLE SISTER.

[♪♪♪]

[ALICE]: YOU NEED TO SEE

THIS.

[JENN]: I DIDN'T KNOW

THIS PLACE WAS HERE.

DO YOU LIKE IT?

OH, IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

AND IT'S LOVELY THAT

IT'S NAMED AFTER YOUR

BROTHER.

SHE NEVER WANTED

HIM FORGOTTEN.

SHE?

HELEN WHITNEY.

YOU MEAN

HELEN CARTER?

RIGHT, THEY WERE MARRIED,

I GUESS.

EVEN A HALF-HOUR COUNTS.

ALICE,

DID YOU THINK

THE MARRIAGE

WASN'T VALID?

[ALICE HUFFS DISMISSIVELY]

HOW OLD WERE YOU

WHEN THEY GOT MARRIED?

17.

YOU WEREN'T IN

ANY OF THE PICTURES.

NO.

I THOUGHT

I SHOULD HAVE BEEN.

DON'T YOU?

OH, I DON'T KNOW.

PERHAPS

YOU WERE TOO YOUNG.

DID YOU KNOW MEG RICHMOND,

THE MAID OF HONOR?

OH, YES.

BEAUTIFUL MEG.

HAVE YOU SPOKEN

TO HER RECENTLY?

SHE PASSED YEARS AGO.

CAR ACCIDENT,

I THINK.

WHAT DO YOU THINK HAPPENED

ON THAT DAY?

I HAVE NO IDEA.

I WAS OUT IN THE PARKING

LOT.

YOU WEREN'T AT THE

RECEPTION?

WHY?

I HAD A BOYFRIEND.

IT WASN'T OFTEN

WE COULD GET AWAY.

I UNDERSTAND YOUR FAMILY

HIRED PRIVATE INVESTIGATORS.

ONE OF THE THEM

TALKED TO A GROUNDSKEEPER

WHO WAS WORKING AT THE

CHURCH.

HE WAS DOING SOME PLANTING,

A FAIR DISTANCE

AWAY FROM THE GUILD HALL.

HE LOOKED UP

AND SAW CHARLES AND HELEN

ENTER THE BACK OF THE

BUILDING.

HE NEVER SAW CHARLES COME

OUT.

[♪♪♪]

WELL, HERE YOU GO. ENJOY.

WELL! WHILE YOU'RE OUT

SOLVING MYSTERIES,

I'M KEEPING

THE STORE AFLOAT.

OH. SELL SOMETHING?

YES! BAKELITE

BACKGAMMON SET, $125.

NICE!

HEY, UH,

AND HELEN CARTER CALLED

HERE.

ASKED IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND

GOING BY THIS AFTERNOON.

KINDA INTERESTING

THAT SHE CALLS

THE SAME DAY

THAT ALICE SHOWS UP.

"KINDA"? WHAT DID

ALICE HAVE TO SAY?

WELL, SHE'S A LITTLE ODD.

SHE DEFINITELY

DOESN'T LIKE HELEN.

MM. SO WHAT'D SHE SAY?

WELL, TURNS OUT

THERE WAS A GARDENER,

WHO SAW CHARLES

GO INTO THIS BUILDING,

BUT DID NOT SEE HIM LEAVE.

YOU SAID THERE WAS A ROOM

HE COULD'VE HIDDEN IN.

YES, A STORAGE ROOM.

AND IF THE GARDENER

WAS DIGGING WITH HIS HEAD

DOWN,

CHARLES COULD'VE

GONE OUT THE BACK,

HE NEVER WOULD'VE NOTICED.

THAT'S POSSIBLE.

WASN'T HANNAH SUPPOSED TO

BE WORKING TODAY?

YEAH. SHE CALLED.

ASKED IF IT WOULD BE OKAY

IF SHE DIDN'T COME IN.

SHE SOUNDED KIND OF DOWN.

[SIGHS]

THANK YOU.

FEEL BETTER?

[CHUCKLES]

A LITTLE.

TELL ME.

REALLY?

REALLY.

OKAY, FINE.

MEN ARE

A SUB-HUMAN SPECIES.

WELL, EXCEPT FOR DAD.

HOW DID YOU

GET SO LUCKY?

WELL, I OVERLOOK

SOME THINGS.

[BOTH CHUCKLING]

I DON'T WANT TO BE HERE

ALL SENIOR YEAR

WHILE TYLER IS IN CHINA.

WHAT HAVE YOU TOLD HIM?

NOTHING,

BUT I THINK

HE'S GETTING THE MESSAGE.

I GOT A FEW TEXTS

FROM HIS FRIENDS

THAT SAY HE'S ALL TORN UP

AND THAT HE MIGHT PULL OUT

OF THE CHINA THING.

I WANT TO GIVE YOU

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.

IS THIS CLICHE TIME?

"IF YOU LOVE SOMEBODY,

LET THEM GO..."

NO.

IT'S JUST THE BEST

MOM-ADVICE I HAVE.

IF YOU REALLY LOVE SOMEBODY,

AN INTERESTING THING

STARTS TO HAPPEN--

YOU END UP WANTING

WHAT THEY WANT.

[♪♪♪]

SO YOU CAN JUST TAKE THAT

AROUND TO THE BACK. OKAY?

THANK YOU. HI!

HI.

SORRY ABOUT ALL THE HUB-BUB.

WE'RE HAVING A FUNDRAISER

FOR

THE FREE CLINIC THIS

WEEKEND.

200 PEOPLE!

OH! THAT'S A LOT OF PEOPLE.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS

AT 4:00 IN THESE BIG HOUSES?

TEA. COME ON.

IT ALMOST MAKES

THE PROPERTY TAXES WORTH IT.

[♪♪♪]

THANK YOU.

I WANTED TO

THANK YOU PERSONALLY

FOR BRINGING

THE DRESS BACK.

OH, I WAS HAPPY

TO DO IT.

YOU KNOW...

A LOT OF MEMORIES HAVE

BEEN UNEARTHED WITH THAT.

I UNDERSTAND YOU'VE

TAKEN AN INTEREST

IN CHARLES'

DISAPPEARANCE?

I HAVE.

I'M FASCINATED BY A MYSTERY

AND THIS CERTAINLY IS ONE.

YOU KNEW TED THOMPSON.

WHAT CAN YOU TELL ME

ABOUT HIM?

TED?

WELL, UM, I DIDN'T

REALLY KNOW HIM THAT WELL.

HE WAS A CHILDHOOD

FRIEND OF CHARLES',

AND HE DIDN'T REALLY

FIT IN OUR GROUP.

SO YOU SPOKE TO HIM?

YES, AND HE,

LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE,

IS AT A LOSS

TO WHAT HAPPENED ON THAT

DAY.

CHARLES' FATHER WAS

CONVINCED

THAT IT WAS A KIDNAPPING.

WHY?

WELL, HE HAD

A NUMBER OF BUSINESSES.

CONSTRUCTION,

BIG GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS,

AND I GUESS THERE WAS

SOME DIFFICULTY WITH THE

UNION,

AND THERE WERE SOME THREATS.

AGAINST CHARLES?

NO, AGAINST

HIS FATHER,

AND EDWARD WOULD NOT BUCKLE

TO THEIR DEMANDS,

SO, IN HIS OPINION,

CHARLES'S DISAPPEARANCE

WAS TIED TO THAT SOMEHOW.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

[SCOFFS QUIETLY]

RIDICULOUS.

THIS IS NOT

A MISSING PERSONS CASE.

IT'S MURDER.

HOLD ON A SECOND.

ARE YOU SAYING THAT HELEN

CARTER

KILLED HER HUSBAND

ON HER WEDDING DAY?

NO, I'M NOT SAYING THAT.

GOOD!

SHE'S A PILLAR OF THE

COMMUNITY.

NO ONE DOES MORE THAN HER.

SCHOLARSHIPS, CHARITIES--

I MEAN, SHE HAS

A MAGNET SCHOOL IN HER HOME,

FOR GOODNESS SAKES.

I'M NOT SUGGESTING

THAT HELEN IS A KILLER,

BUT I THINK

SHE KNOWS WHO IS.

CHARLES CARTER'S BLOOD

IS ON HER WEDDING DRESS.

FRANK, SHE WAS THERE!

NO. NOT NECESSARILY.

THAT BLOOD IS ONLY HIS TYPE.

HOW MANY PEOPLE

WERE AT THE WEDDING?

200.

AND HOW MANY PEOPLE

HAVE WORN THAT DRESS

IN THE LAST 35 YEARS?

I DON'T THINK

ANYONE HAS.

HER INITIALS ARE STILL IN

IT.

I THINK IT SAT IN THE BOX

FOR ALL THOSE YEARS.

AND WE KNOW

THAT HELEN WANTED IT

DESTROYED.

I THINK WHATEVER

HAPPENED TO CHARLES

HAPPENED IN THE BACK

OF THAT RECEPTION HALL.

ALL RIGHT,

THEN HE WAS SEEN GOING IN--

AND NOBODY SAW HIM COME OUT.

WHAT IF I CAN SHOW

THAT THERE WAS BLOOD

SHED AT THE CHURCH

AND IT MATCHES

THE STAINS ON THE DRESS?

[GRUNTS]

WHAT'S THAT STUFF

THAT YOU SPRAY

TO REVEAL BLOODSTAINS

THAT HAVE BEEN CLEANED UP?

-LUMINOL.

-LUMINOL!

WOULD IT WORK

ON SOMETHING THIS OLD?

WELL, IF THE BLOOD WAS

INDOORS,

AND IT WAS PROTECTED

FROM THE ELEMENTS...

AND NO,

I AM NOT GOING TO DO

A FORENSIC INVESTIGATION

FOR YOU.

OH... FINE.

CAN I BORROW SOME?

THANKS FOR THE PIE.

[SIGHS GRUDGINGLY]

LUMINOL IS AVAILABLE ONLINE.

AND I DO NOT WANT TO KNOW.

[BACKGROUND CHATTER]

[♪♪♪]

WELL, I'M NOT

GONNA STAY.

YOU SHOULD GO, TOO.

I WANT TO CATCH UP

ON THESE ORDERS.

JASON'S WORKING LATE.

I'LL BE FINE.

ALL RIGHT.

NIGHT-NIGHT.

NIGHT.

-SEE YOU TOMORROW.

-OKAY.

[♪♪♪]

[KEYS CLACKING]

[♪♪♪]

[LOUD THUD]

[GASPS]

[DOGS BARKING NEARBY]

[♪♪♪]

[DISPATCH RADIO CRACKLING]

YOU OKAY, HON'?

OH, YEAH, I'M FINE,

IT'S JUST A FLAT TIRE.

CAN YOU SEE

WHAT SHE RAN OVER?

SHE DIDN'T RUN OVER

ANYTHING.

THIS WAS DELIBERATE.

I'M NOT SURE, JENN.

WHAT IF

THIS WAS A WARNING?

SOMEONE TELLING YOU

TO BACK OFF?

I DON'T THINK SO.

TIRES GET SLASHED.

IT'S PROBABLY JUST

VANDALISM.

NOT IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.

HONEY, I DON'T THINK

THE PEOPLE INVOLVED IN THIS

CASE

ARE THE TIRE-SLASHING TYPES.

JUST BE

CAREFUL, OKAY?

DON'T WORK LATE BY YOURSELF.

CALL ME IF YOU NEED TO.

BE EXTRA AWARE.

I WILL...

BUT SOMETIMES A FLAT TIRE

IS JUST A FLAT TIRE.

OH, DID YOU GET

THE FLOWERS I SENT YOU?

THANK YOU.

I KNEW YOU'D REMEMBER.

YEAH. IT'LL BE FUN.

WE DON'T GET OUT MUCH

AS A FAMILY ANYMORE.

[FORCED CHUCKLE]

NAH, YOU CAN'T FIX THIS.

YOU'RE GONNA NEED A NEW

TIRE.

I'LL GET ONE OF MY GUYS

ON IT RIGHT AWAY.

I CAN'T REMEMBER THE LAST

TIME

I SAW A TIRE SLASHED LIKE

THAT.

OH, IT'S PROBABLY

JUST VANDALISM.

WELL, YOU SAID

YOU WENT TO THE CHURCH

WITH THE POLICE, RIGHT?

ARE THEY INTERESTED

IN THIS AGAIN?

NO, DETECTIVE LYNWOOD

IS JUST AN OLD FRIEND.

IT'S NOTHING OFFICIAL.

MM. SO HAVE YOU

MADE ANY PROGRESS?

NOT MUCH.

WHAT ELSE DO YOU REMEMBER

FROM THAT DAY?

WHAT WAS HELEN'S MOOD LIKE

WHEN THEY WERE

TAKING THE PHOTOS?

UH, MY RECOLLECTION IS-IS

THAT

SHE WAS LAUGHING, UPBEAT.

EVERYBODY WAS HAVING FUN.

AND EVERYONE WALKED INTO

THE RECEPTION TOGETHER?

DID ANYONE

STRAGGLE BEHIND?

GO TO THEIR CAR? ANYTHING?

WELL, I-- YOU KNOW,

I CAN'T BE SURE,

BUT IF SOMEONE WENT TO THEIR

CAR

TO GET SOMETHING,

I MIGHT NOT HAVE NOTICED.

LUMINOL? ARE YOU SERIOUS?

WHAT, NOW

YOU'RE DOING FORENSICS?

WELL, WHY NOT?

MAYBE WE'LL FIND SOME

ANSWERS.

I WANT TO

SHOW YOU SOMETHING.

I HAD

THOSE EIGHT-MILLIMETER FILMS

TRANSFERRED TO DVD.

I WANT YOU

TO WATCH 'EM AGAIN.

BOTH HELEN CARTER

AND TED THOMPSON TOLD ME

THAT THEY REALLY DIDN'T

KNOW EACH OTHER,

DIDN'T HAVE MUCH

INTERACTION,

TRAVELED IN DIFFERENT

CIRCLES,

SO WATCH THIS.

[♪♪♪]

HMM...

THAT'S PRETTY FRIENDLY.

MM.

SO IF I PAUSE...

[HITS KEY]

AND ZOOM IN...

WHY IS HE LYING?

'CAUSE AFTER

THE LAST FOUR DECADES,

THINGS HAVE GOTTEN

A LITTLE HAZY?

FAIR ENOUGH.

WHAT DO WE GOT?

UM...

WELL, IN A 15-MINUTE WINDOW

BETWEEN THE PHOTO SESSION

AND HELEN ENTERING

THE RECEPTION HALL,

CHARLES DISAPPEARS.

THERE ARE

THREE POSSIBILITIES--

ONE, TO YOUR POINT,

HELEN WENT IN THE BATHROOM

TO DO HER MAKE-UP,

AND CHARLES

BOLTED OUT THE BACK DOOR

TO TAHITI OR SOMEPLACE.

NOT LIKELY.

BUT THERE IS THAT POSTCARD.

TWO, HELEN WENT

IN THE BATHROOM

AND KIDNAPPERS

CAME IN THE BACK DOOR

AND GRABBED CHARLES.

HE WOULD'VE PUT UP A FIGHT.

UNLESS THEY HAD A GUN ON

HIM.

OR, THREE,

SOMEBODY KILLED CHARLES IN

THE BACK OF THAT RECEPTION

HALL.

WE HAVE THE GARDENER

THAT SAW HIM GO IN THE

BUILDING,

BUT DIDN'T SEE HIM LEAVE,

AND WE HAVE THE BLOODSTAINS

IN THE HIDDEN POCKET

THAT MATCH CHARLES'S

RARE BLOOD TYPE.

IF SOMEONE'S KILLED,

THERE'S A BODY.

WHERE'S THE BODY?

LET'S FIND OUT.

I'M HAPPY TO HELP,

BUT THIS WAS ALL...

OF COURSE, BEFORE MY TIME.

DO YOU NEED ANYTHING ELSE?

NO, I THINK

WE'RE GOOD.

I'LL BE IN THE RECTORY.

JUST LEAVE THE DOOR

UNLOCKED WHEN YOU GO.

THANK YOU.

THANKS.

[♪♪♪]

DANI.

YES.

WATCH YOUR STEP.

YEAH.

I THINK

THIS IS WHERE IT HAPPENED.

-SOMEONE--

-WHO?

WHOA, SLOW DOWN THERE,

WATSON.

I'M ON "WHAT HAPPENED,"

NOT "WHODUNNIT."

BUT I DON'T THINK

IT WAS PLANNED.

CRIME OF PASSION?

PERHAPS.

I THINK

SOMEONE MET CHARLES HERE,

MAYBE IN THE HALLWAY.

THEY BEGAN TO HAVE WORDS,

THEY CAME IN HERE

FOR MORE PRIVACY.

THE ARGUMENT BECAME A

STRUGGLE.

CHARLES WAS KILLED,

PROBABLY BY A KNIFE.

SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

HELEN COMES IN

AND SEES THE FIGHT,

OR SHE COMES IN AFTERWARDS.

THE KILLER IS IN SOME KIND

OF

RELATIONSHIP WITH HELEN,

AND THEY NEED TO

MAKE THIS NIGHTMARE GO AWAY.

FIRST, HIDE THE WEAPON.

THE KILLER

GRABS A CLOTH NAPKIN,

CAREFULLY REMOVES THE KNIFE

FROM THE BODY,

PUTS THE BLADE

IN THE CLOTH NAPKIN,

HANDS IT TO HELEN,

WHO PUTS IT

IN THE HIDDEN POCKET.

NOW FOR THE BODY.

YOU COULD HIDE A BODY

IN ANY OF THESE CABINETS.

PLENTY OF ROOM.

PUT THE BODY IN THERE,

CLOSE THE DOOR.

THE BODY IS GONE--

AT LEAST TEMPORARILY.

THERE MIGHT STILL BE

SOME BLOOD RESIDUE

IN ONE OF THESE CABINETS.

HERE. HELP ME.

I'M GONNA TAKE SOME LUMINOL,

I'M GOING TO SPRAY IT

ON THE BOTTOM OF THIS

CABINET,

I'M GONNA TURN THE LIGHTS

OFF,

AND IF I'M RIGHT,

WE SHOULD SEE

SOMETHING VERY INTERESTING.

[♪♪♪]

[SPRITZING]

[♪♪♪]

[SNAP]

WOW.

I'M GONNA DENY IT

IF YOU TELL ANYONE THIS,

BUT... [SIGHING]

YOU SURE ARE SOMETHING.

THANK YOU, FRANK.

BUT...

I AM NOT GONNA GO TO THE

D.A.

AND OPEN UP A COLD CASE

INVOLVING A PROMINENT

CITIZEN

WITHOUT

MORE THAN THIS.

A LOT MORE.

LIKE WHAT?

LIKE,WHO DID IT?

LIKE WHERE'S THE BODY?

WHAT'S THE MOTIVATION?

OKAY.

I THINK THE KILLER

IS TED, THE BEST MAN.

THE ACCOMPLICE--

HELEN, THE BRIDE.

THEY WERE IN SOME KIND

OF RELATIONSHIP TOGETHER.

THERE'S YOUR MOTIVATION.

WHERE'S THE BODY?

THE BODY WAS HIDDEN

IN A STORAGE CABINET,

RETRIEVED LATER,

AND DISPOSED OF.

FRANK, THE BLOOD STAIN WAS

RIGHT

WHERE I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE.

THAT IS WHAT

WE CALL CIRCUMSTANTIAL.

WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED?

THE MURDER WEAPON.

FINGERPRINTS. A WITNESS.

A BODY.

[SIGHING]

I DON'T HAVE ANY OF THAT.

THEN GET ME A CONFESSION.

[JASON]: IF LOGAN

WASN'T AT COMPUTER CAMP,

I'D ASK HIM TO JOIN US.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE

YOU'RE BOTH AVAILABLE.

THE SATURDAY AFTER THIS?

THAT'S RIGHT.

I WANT TO TAKE

YOU AND YOUR MOM OUT

TO CELEBRATE

OUR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.

ISN'T YOUR ANNIVERSARY

THIS WEEKEND?

I'VE GOT CLIENTS

COMING INTO TOWN

AND I TOTALLY FORGOT.

YOUR MOTHER, THANKFULLY,

WAS VERY UNDERSTANDING.

MM, I WASN'T SO

UNDERSTANDING

UNTIL HE APOLOGIZED

PROFUSELY

AND SENT ME FLOWERS.

WOW, MOM REALLY IS RIGHT.

ABOUT?

SHE SAID,

FOR A RELATIONSHIP TO WORK,

YOU HAVE TO OVERLOOK

A LOT OF THINGS.

THAT'S GOOD ADVICE.

NOW, CAN I GET

THE POTATOES, PLEASE?

HERE YOU GO, DAD.

-THANKS.

-NO PROBLEM.

YOU HAVE A GOOD DAY.
