- Punctuality, I expect that.
I know I'm not an
easy man to find.
Pretty soon, you'll be
impossible to find.
(coughing)
Yes, yes, good, good.
This is the right amount.
(laughing)
I'm sure you can understand
that I don't like
to bill insurance companies.
(chuckling)
Shall we begin?
Come on, come on.
Well, come on.
(distant boat horn blowing)
Don't worry, I washed
them earlier.
(jacket unzipping)
This is going to
take a few hours
and there's going to
be, well, a lot of pain.
I've got everything I need,
but I'm a little short
on anesthetic.
Take it easy.
Let go of me.
Look, I'm the best there is.
You're gonna look
like a new man,
different, but quite normal.
Now, I need you to be as
absolutely still as possible.
(suspenseful orchestral
music rising)
(car approaching)
(coughing)
You know, this ain't no
damn hotel I'm running here.
It was never a part of our deal
for you to stay here until
you're completely healed.
I mean, this ain't no
damn room service, and--

(dramatic orchestral music)
You ready to take a look?
So, it turned out better
than I thought.

(kids screaming)
- Where do you want these,
father?
- Oh, right over there, Mr.
Thompson.
- I don't know how I
got tricked into this.
- Come on, Keith.
Playing the Easter bunny
is good for the soul.
- [Keith] Is sweating to
death good for the soul too?
(chuckling)
- What are you
complaining about?
I gave you the day off
so you could do this.
Supposed to be busting
your butt for me.
Remember?
- I only hope they
aren't disappointed.
- Now, relax, Keith.
Nobody's gonna be disappointed.
- I wanna see you at seven
in the morning.
We got a dozen palm trees to
plant at the bank tomorrow.
- I'll be there.
- Sober too.
- Mr. Thompson, I told you.
I do not drink.
- Yeah yeah.
Father, if you don't mind,
can I get your John
Hancock right there?
- Thank you for lending
Keith to us for the day.
- Give 'em hell, Keithy.
Sorry, Father.
- He means well, I think.
(door opening)
There we go.
Now comes the easier part.
(door closing)
You just hop from kid to
kid and pass out the candy.
- I hop too?
- All right, nevermind.
Hopping is optional.
Come on, come on, let's go.
(light orchestral music)
- Oh, happy Easter.
Here you go.
- [Kid] Thank you.
- There's one for you.
Hi.
Here you go, slugger.
Happy Easter.
Ha--
(laughing)
- Say thank you, Andy.
- Thanks.
- Happy Easter.
- Your ear is bent.
- Andy.
- Oh, I'm afraid he's right.
- May I help you with that?
- On behalf of all the
Easter bunnies in the world,
I thank you.
(laughing)
I'm Keith Grant and I'm
afraid it's a lost cause.
- I'm Christine Davis and
I think you look adorable.
(laughing)
(light jazz music)
(laughing)
- That's nice, real nice.
You're a good dancer.
- [Kid] Come on, over here.
(laughing)
(kids yelling)
- Stabbing, strangulation,
or poison?
- What about poison?
- Okay, I think it was
stabbing with a butcher knife.
Who do you think it was?
The butler, the gardener,
or the chauffeur?
- [Father] The butler.
- Okay, I think it's
the gardener.
- Couldn't be.
(chuckling)
- Well, I'll just run it tonight
and see Compu-tective says.
- [Father] Fine.
- Remember, the loser
buys the winner
a double-dip at Frosty's.
(laughing)
- Go on, ask him.
- What?
(laughing)
How can I just walk over there?
- Try one foot in front
of the other.
- Ugh.
- Christine Davis, when
was the last time
that someone nice and attractive
and of a male persuasion
showed up in this town.
- About three months ago when
Mark moved into this town
and we all know what a
great big flop that was.
I don't exactly have a
great track record
when it comes to men.
- But that's over.
You better strike while
the hormones are hot.
(laughing)
- Cut it out.
- Listen, I saw the way you
two were looking at each other
this afternoon.
- We didn't look at each
other any way.
Do you think he's married?
- Well, I think you
better find out.
And if he's not, remember
rabbits are supposed
to be very fertile.
(laughing)
- Oh, Bernice, you.

♪ Time slips by

- Hi.
Is the Easter bunny
allowed to dance?
(laughing)
- Well, usually not
when he's on duty,
but in this case,
he'd be honored.

I would see you soon ♪

- So, Deer View's a nice town.
Everybody's been very friendly.
- It's very peaceful.
Andy and I are very happy here.
- So, it's just you
and your son?
- Uh-huh, for over
two years now.
So, how 'bout you?
Married?
- No, not yet, but so--
- Mind if I cut in here?
- [Keith] No.
- Sorry I'm late.
- Hello, Mark.
- Come on, Christine.
I said I was sorry.
I had to work late.
You know, I'm doing this
for you and Andy.
Come on, Christine, I'm
really trying.
I need you to give me
another chance,
a chance for us to be together,
to be a family, hmm?

- What's with the candles, mom?
I thought we were just
having dinner.
- We are just having dinner.
Now, don't you start teasing me.
How do I look?
- Great, mom.
You just look great.
- Pot roast, I forgot
to season the pot roast.
- You seasoned it 10
times already.
(doorbell ringing)
Any long and he's gonna go away.
- Andy, don't be so helpful.
Okay.
(light orchestral music)
Hi.
- [Keith] Hi.
- You found us.
- I sure did.
It's the prettiest
house on the block.
(laughing)
- I thought you said before
you sold real estate.
- Boy, he's got a mind
like a steel trap.
Well, I did that too and
I was pretty good at it.
- [Christine] Now,
where was this?
- In Charleston.
- [Christine] Mmm.
- Is that in South Carolina?
- That's right.
Anyway, I needed a break
from the rat race
and I've always enjoyed
working with my hands,
you know, building and growing
and Mr. Thompson was kind enough
to give me a job where I
also get plenty of fresh air
and sunshine, so I'm
really happy here.
Deer View is a wonderful place.
- If you like cemeteries.
- Andy.
- [Andy] Well.
- Well, what?
- Well, this place is so dull.
I mean, when I grow up, I
wanna move to like Chicago
or New York or--
- Andy, Andy, the
people in big cities
are not nearly as nice as
they are here.
Like you folks, inviting
me to a home-cooked meal.
- Well, I suppose we've
never had a bunny rabbit
for dinner before.
(laughing)
- I used to do these
when I was a kid.
Did you ever put one
of 'em together, Andy?
- Well, I'm not into
models much.
Computer sleuthing,
that's my specialty.
- What do you mean?
Like Sherlock Holmes or
Agatha Christie?
- Well, kind of.
I have a program that
gives you different clues.
You have to figure out
who the murderer is,
how they did it, and what
the motive was.
- Sounds fascinating.
Maybe you can show me
how it works sometime.
- Sure.
(ominous orchestral music)
- [Kid] Over here.
- [Friend] Okay.
- [Keith] Hi.
- Well, hi.
Well, this is a nice surprise.
- I hope I'm not intruding,
but--
- No.
- I just wanted to thank
you for a great dinner
and a wonderful evening.
- [Christine] Well, we
enjoyed having you.
- And we just got these in.
I thought you might like 'em.
- Thank you.
- Well, that Andy's quite a boy.
Sharp as a tack.
- Well, sometimes he can
be a little too smart.
- Miss Davis.
- Just a minute, Tiffany.
- Miss Davis, please.
- I'll be right with you,
Tiffany.
- Miss Davis, but I gotta
pee right now.
- Oh, thank you for
telling me that, Tiffany.
Well, I guess I better go.
My public's calling.
(groaning)
- I can see you have
your hands full.
Anyway, thanks again.
- Well, sure.
Keith?
Do you like picnics?
- Sure do.
Sunday's my day off.
- Great.
I'll see you about noon?
- I look forward to it.
(ominous orchestral music)
- Christine, we need to talk.
- Mark, now is not a good time.
Tiffany has just--
- You had time to talk to
that gardener.
- He's not a gardener.
And besides we don't have
anything to talk about.
- I think we do.
- Shhh.
- [Mark] We have been
seeing each other
for the last three months
and now you start
dating someone else?
- Mark, we broke up
two weeks ago.
It wasn't working.
- Well, it was working for me.
I thought we had a
future together.
I tried hard to be a
good stepfather to Andy.
- Well, you tried too hard.
Mark, we've been through
all this before.
It just didn't work out
for me and Andy.
- We could be the
perfect family.
- Mark, please, just let go.
- [Mark] Christine.
- Don't.
- I love you.
- It's over.
(ominous orchestral music)
(dog barking)
Well, he's happier than I've
seen him in a long time.
- He's a terrific kid.
That model's not much
of a challenge for him.
He's almost done with it.
(laughing)
- And I'm happier than
I've been in a long time.
- Well, you deserve to be.
(light orchestral music)
How did Andy end up in
a wheelchair?
- Well, when Andy's
father and I got divorced
a couple years ago, Steve
had Andy every other weekend,
and one weekend when he
came to pick up Andy,
we got into an argument over,
you know, God knows what
and Andy got upset,
started to cry
and he ran out of the
house and into the street.
Never saw the car.
- I'm so sorry.
- It's a lot to handle.
I mean, it's really
overwhelming for him.
- Well, he sure does seem
to handle his handicap well.
- Yes, he does.
But that isn't the whole story.
You know, he was in the hospital
for many months of therapy.
At least a dozen
doctors examined him.
Keith, they all said
the same thing,
that he should be able to walk,
that physically he can.
But they don't know.
They think it's
psychosomatic or something.
- Then we can never give up hope
that he'll recover
some day soon.
Maybe I can help.
(ominous orchestral music)
- We had a wonderful time.
Andy, did you thank Keith
for a great day?
- Thanks.
(laughing)
- I had a great day too,
slugger.
Let's do it again real soon.
(laughing)
- I think I can guarantee it.
Bye.
- Bye.
- Sorry, didn't mean
to startle you.
- That's all right.
I didn't see you.
Can I help you?
- Maybe.
I'm Mark Wraynal.
We met at the Easter dance,
remember?
I live around here and you're
new in town, aren't you?
- Yes, I am.
I'm Keith Grant.
Will you excuse me?
So, what can I do for you?
- I just thought since
we're gonna be neighbors,
we outta be acquainted.
Nice place you got here.
A lot of fresh air,
never gets too hot.
Plenty of privacy.
- I like it.
- Did you buy or are
you renting?
- Mark, you're not here to
discuss real estate, are you?
- No, I guess not.
Look, pal, I think it's time
you and I had a man to man talk
about a certain lady by
the name of Christine.
- What about her?
- I think you should know
that I've been seeing her
for the last three months
and I'm also very fond
of her son, Andy.
We're gonna be married.
We're gonna be a family.
I'm gonna be Andy's stepfather.
- Well, she never mentioned
any of this to me.
Is she aware of all your plans?
- Look, pal, I don't think
that's any concern of yours.
You just stay the hell away
from Christine and Andy.
Find your own family.
- Well, Mark, I understand.
After all, you were
there first, weren't you?
- Yeah, glad you see it my way.
Well, look, pal, no hard
feelings, huh?
No offense.
- None taken.
(grunting)
(intense orchestral music)
(screaming)
(bone cracking)
(shovel thudding)
I'm not your pal.
(shovel thudding)
(whistling)
(ominous orchestral music)
- The lord has told us
that the greatest of all
our human virtues is love,
the love that exists
between a man and a woman,
the love of a mother
for her child.
And there is no greater joy
in the eyes of the lord,
(baby crying)
than the family unit.
It is a gift given to us
by the almighty
and it must be preserved.
(light orchestral music)
(video game beeping)
- Hi.
- So, Andy boy, who was
our culprit, huh?
Was it the murderous butler
or the nasty chauffer
or was it the gardener, huh?
- Well, I haven't spent much
time at my computer lately.
- Why's that?
I'm anxious to find out
who the murderer is.
- We spend a lot of
time with Keith.
- Well, you don't sound
too happy about that.
- Well, mom likes him.
- How 'bout you?
How do you feel?
- Well, he means well.
There's just something
that bugs me about him.
I mean, he's a real
cornball, a real square.
- Your mom seems to
really like him
and that's important.
He seems like a nice
enough fella.
- Yeah, I know, but he
just tries too hard.
He's a real nerd.
- Why don't you give him
another chance?
He might surprise you.
Now, back to our case.
Was it poison
(imitating choking)
or strangulation, huh?
(laughing)
(light orchestral music)
(computer beeping)
(keyboard clicking)
(laughing)
- It's time for bed, slugger.
- I'm not finished yet.
What are you doing here anyway?
- Oh, I came to tuck you in.
- Where's mom?
- Up we go.
- Hey, what are you doing?
Put me down.
- There you go.
Did you brush your teeth yet?
- I can do it.
- Don't fight me, Andy.
I'm here to help you.
You should get used to it.
- I can do it, you know?
- I know, you're a big boy.
Did you brush your teeth yet?
- Yes, I did.
- Good boy, good boy.
Goodnight.
Sleep tight.
(ominous orchestral music)
Don't let the bed bugs bite.
(dramatic orchestral music)
(light orchestral music)
- Mom.
- Andy.
You should be asleep.
- I need to know where
the new printing paper is.
- It's right under your desk,
where it always is, honey.
- Let me help you, tiger.
- No, he can do it himself,
Keith.
All right, Sherlock, it's
lights out for you right now.
Goodnight, Andy.
I don't know what's
gotten into him.
- Well, he's just not used to
having a man around the house.
All he needs is time, Christine.
- I hope you're right.
You know, I worry
about him so much.
You know, just last
month, I found him trying
to use his computer to
access local police records
on an unsolved murder
for the last 20 years.
Can you believe it?
My son, the hacker.
- Gotta be pretty smart
to be a hacker.
He's a good boy, Christine.
(light orchestral music)
- [Christine] I wish you
could stay with me tonight.
- I want to.
I really want to,
but I can't do that.
- Why not?
- Because I'm not the kind
of guy to come into town
and just take advantage
of a single mother.
I'm just not that way.
- Oh, but I want to
make love to you.
(sighing)
- Not until it's right.
Not till we're a family.
- Keith Grant, did you
just ask me to marry you?
- If I hear the right answer.
- You are the most incredible
man I have ever known.
- Is that a yes?
Will you marry me?
(light orchestral music)
- And do you,
Christine Ann Davis,
accept Keith Grant to
be your husband,
to love him and honor him,
holding him above all others,
in sickness and in health
until death to you part?
- I do.
- Please take the marriage ring.
(ominous orchestral music)
Place it on Christine's
finger and repeat after me.
With this ring, I thee wed.
- With this ring, I thee wed.
- And now, by the power
granted under me,
by God and the state, I
now pronounce you
husband and wife.
You may kiss the bride.
Ladies and gentlemen,
may I present,
Mr. and Mrs. Keith Grant.
(crowd applauding)
(light orchestral music)
- Thank you so much.
Hey, hi, glad you could make it.
Hi.
- Champagne for you, sir.
- Hey, Andy.
Well, Father Brennan, that
was a beautiful ceremony.
Thank you.
- Well, thank you.
You know, it's
always a pleasure,
seeing two people so
happy together.
It's too bad your
relatives and your friends
couldn't make it.
- Yeah, well, Louisville's
a long way away
and of such short notice.
- Mmmm.
- I thought you said you
were from Charleston.
- No, I grew up in Louisville.
In fact, my family
still lives there.
I spent the last few
years in Charleston,
just before I moved here.
- I have a very good
friend in Charleston.
I went to seminary with him.
Father Driskell, do
you know him?
- No, I don't.
Will you excuse me, Father.
Christine sent me up
here for some champagne
and I'm not about to
keep her waiting.
Well, at least not on
our wedding day.
- Of course, we have plenty
of time to talk later.
- I told mom she
should've waited.
She hardly knows
anything about him.
- You know, Andy, I suggest
that you keep your suspicions
and your investigations to
your computer games, hmmm?

- Don't you think it's
about time to hit the hay?
Brought you some hot milk.
Isn't that what a
babysitter's suppose to do?
Oh.
(laughing)
Andy, what are you doing?
- I want to find out about him.
- Andy you're taking
this too far.
You can't do this.
You can't pry into Keith's life.
- Look, he tells you one
thing and he tells us another.
- It's not fair to Keith
and it's not fair to
your mother.
Now what do you think
you're gonna find out?
- I wanna find out who
my stepfather really is.
(dramatic orchestral music)
(waves crashing)
(moaning)
- Can you check
these out for me?
- No, I'll do no such thing,
young man.
Your imagination is
getting out of hand.
Now, you're going to
bed right now.
- Come on, Father.
- No.
- I can't make these long
distance phone calls.
My mom will kill me.
Besides, who's gonna
talk seriously to a kid?
You've gotta help me.
- No, absolutely not.
This nonsense stops
right here and now.
(sighing)
- In less than 10 phone calls,
we can find out if he is
from Charleston or Louisville
or if he's lying to us
for some reason.
Come on, Father, you've
just got to help me.
- Well, I won't make
any promises,
but if you go to sleep right
now, I'll think about it.
- Deal.
Yeah.
(light orchestral music)
Thanks.
- Yeah, yeah.
Goodnight.
- Oh, and one last thing.
- Hmmm, what now?
- Did you find any cookies
in the kitchen?
- Oh, you, I told you, I
told you that.
(imitating choking)
Get to sleep, now.
(laughing)
(grand orchestral music)
- [Announcer] With
Lauren Sutliffe,
on location reporter for
Crime Search USA.
(TV powering off)
- Hiya, son.
How you doing?
- Hey, that's my
favorite TV show.
- You shouldn't be watching
programs like this.
You should be outside
playing, like other kids.
- I don't wanna go outside.
I wanna watch TV.
- Andy, I've been you
stepfather for two weeks now.
I wanna start spending
some more time together.
Come on, I've got a
great game for ya.
- I don't wanna play any games.
(ominous orchestral music)
- Well, Andy, I've got a
surprise for ya.
- What are those scars
behind your ears?
- Oh, it's nothing.
Just an accident when
I was a kid.
Look, what I got for ya,
a genuine pro model.
- Are you crazy?
I can't play football.
- Sure you can.
All you gotta do is try.
(sighing)
Ready, Andy?
Catch.
(grunting)
That's okay, Andy.
You can do this.
All you have to do is move
your arms and your hands, okay?
Every little boy can do this.
- [Andy] I just can't.
- No such word.
Here it comes.
(grunting)
(ominous orchestral music)
- Ow, my arm.
I hurt my arm.
Help me.
- Andy, listen to me.
Walk.
Just get up off the
ground and walk.
- I can't.
- Come on, Andy, do it.
Your mom will be so proud of ya.
- My arm hurts.
- Come on, Andy.
Come on.
(grunting)
That's it.
You can do it.
I know you can do it.
Now, come on, you walk to me.
(grunting)
Andy, get up and walk to me now.
- I can't.
You're crazy.
- Yes, you can.
Now, you get right up.
You get up.
- I can't.
Stop it!
- Yes, you can!
You just don't want to, do you?
- No, I can't, I can't, I can't!
(grunting)
- Here and stop that
damn whining.
- And Beth has two kids
right around Andy's age.
We just moved into a big
house with a huge backyard.
It's a great neighborhood
with lots of kids
and there's a great school
with an advanced program
for gifted children.
It's prefect for Andy.
- We would love to have
Andy for the summer.
He'd be really comfortable.
He gets along great
with my kids.
- I appreciate that Beth.
I really do,
but I want Andy to stay with us
and I'm not so sure--
- [Steve] Look, Christine.
Andy's mentioned a
couple of times
that he'd like to go to
this advanced computer class
at summer school.
- [Christine] I know.
- Well, it starts next week.
And he also mentioned he'd
like to spend some time
with me and my new family,
just on a trial basis.
He can come back any
time he wants to.
Just give it a chance.
- Chance for what?
Andy's very happy here.
This is a family.
- Look, Keith, I'm sure
you're a good man,
but a boy needs his father
and I am his father.
Just give me a chance to
take care of him,
to be close to him for a while.
- Look, Steve, I can't
promise you anything,
but we'll think it over.
- I honestly don't see what
there is to think over.
Andy's very special to us
and we certainly don't
want him to leave,
even for a summer.
Just can't break up the family.
This is a very happy home
and you already have a family.
- Just talk to Andy.
Let him decide.
Whatever he wants,
that's fine with us.
- I'll talk to him.
- And I'll certainly
stand by Andy's wishes,
but you're going to be
disappointed.
(ominous orchestral music)
Andy's home is with us.
He wants to be here.
- [Andy] I'm sure gonna
miss you, mom.
- You absolutely sure
you wanna go.
- You know I really wanna
go to that special school.
- Mm-hmm.
- Take the computer course.
I really like Beth's kids.
- What about your dad?
(ominous orchestral music)
- Well, he really seems to
wanna spend some time with me.
I'd like that.
- Well, I just want
you to be happy, honey.
- I can call you any
time I want?
- Oh, of course you can,
sweetheart
and we'll come up and
see you a lot.
- I don't see why we're
even having this discussion.
It sounds like you're
encouraging him to go.
I can't believe it.
- Keith, I just want
Andy to feel comfortable
making up his own mind.
- Well, what's there to
make up your mind about?
You like it here, don't you,
slugger?
With your mom and me?
We go on picnics and
I take you go-carting.
I know you like that.
We build these models together
and we're gonna go camping
and fishing this summer.
Do you remember?
- I don't wanna go fishing.
- We can do other father,
son stuff.
Andy, we're a team, me and you.
- [Christine] Keith,
what are you--
- Christine!
He needs to consider this
very carefully.
Andy, you're gonna be
more than four hours away.
That's very far.
You're not gonna be able to
see us as often as you think.
You're gonna get homesick and
you're gonna miss us a lot,
your mom and me.
- Keith, that's enough.
(sighing)
- And what if your daddy
doesn't give you the attention
that I do?
And what if he's careless again
and you get into
another accident?
What happens to you then?
- Keith, that's enough!
(ominous orchestral music)
Stop it.
What's gotten into you?
- He's my daddy.
He loves me.
I wanna be with him.
- This is your home.
I am your daddy now.
- He's my real daddy.
I wanna be with him.
(ominous orchestral music)
- They won't listen!
(ominous orchestral music)
"He's my real daddy, I
wanna be with him."
Be with him?
Well, how 'bout me, huh?
How' bout me?
Who am I here?
Who am I here?
Who?
She told him he could go.
She told him.
She practically
encouraged him to go.
And now he's going,
he's going, he's going.
He's going!
(dramatic orchestral music)
- Mr. Grant.
I'm Jennifer Ashley.
I called about your
cottage in the ad.
- Oh.
Nice to meet you.
Please, call me Keith.
Are you new in town?
- Mm-hmm.
We got here last week.
We've been staying at
the Deer View Inn
while we've been
looking for a home.
Would you have time to
show it to us now?
- Yeah, sure.
Just let me clear it
with the boss.
That's a fine-lookin' boy.
- Oh, this is my son Nicky.
Say hello to Keith, sweetheart.
- Hi.
- Hi, Nicky.
Please.
- Okay, thank you.
- I'm gonna take my
lunch break now
and show my cottage to
these nice folks.
- You make sure you show
it to her real good.
You know what I mean, Keithy?
(finger popping)
(whistling)
(light orchestral music)
- I just love it.
It's exactly what
we're looking for.
Fresh air, peace and quiet.
And that flower bed is
so incredible.
You must really have
a green thumb.
- Well, I use a
special fertilizer.
- Why do you wanna give
up this great place?
- Well, I just moved into town,
but I have five months
left on my lease.
Now, is it just you and
the boy moving in?
- Yes, just the two of us.
My husband passed
away last year.
- Oh, I'm so sorry.
You know, I don't mean to pry.
- No, it's okay.
We can't live in the past.
- Quite right.
- Yes.
- Can we live here, mom?
Can we?
Please.
- Can we?
- The place is yours.
- Well, ready to go.
- He'll be fine.
I promise.
We'll take really
good care of him.
- I know you will.
You be a good boy, Andy.
- I'll call you as soon
as I get there.
- You and Keith come
visit any time you want.
- Yeah, we mean that.
Don't be strangers.
- Thank you.
I'll see you in two weeks.
(ominous orchestral music)
- Okay, gang.
Let's hit the trail.
- [Kids] Yeah!
- I love you, mom.
I'll call you every day.
- Me too.
I love you very much, Andy.
- [Steve] Here we go.
- [Kids] Happy trails!
Bye, bye!
(horn honking)
- [Andy] Bye, mom.
(sniffling)
(ominous orchestral music)
(light orchestral music)
- Yeah!
- Bring it over here.
You stay there.
Ready?
Hut one, hut two, hike!
(laughing)
- Yeah, yeah!
- Let's go.
You better run.
(grunting)
Hand off.
(laughing)
(grunting)
(laughing)
Gonna tickle you.
(laughing)
- [Father] Hello there.
(ominous orchestral music)
- Father Brennan.
We were just talking about
putting in some new yard
with some flowers in it,
when Andy, Nicky here,
brought out the old pigskin.
- [Father] Uh-huh.
(laughing)
- This is Father Brennan
of St. Joseph's church.
- Hi, Jennifer Ashley.
Pleased to meet you.
- [Father] How do you do?
- This is my son, Nicky.
- Hi there, young man.
- [Nicky] Hi, Father.
- You know, in my younger days.
I caught a lot of great
passes at Notre Dame.
- Wow, you played
for Notre Dame?
- Sure did, young man.
I'll give you some
pointers later one.
I just came out to say hello.
I heard you were new in
the neighborhood
and I wanted to invite
you and your son
to mass on Sunday.
- Oh, well, we'd love to.
Thank you.
- I, do--
- Would you like a cup of coffee
and some freshly-baked muffins?
- That sounds very nice.
- I, uh, I better get
back to work.
Mr. Thompson's probably
wondering where I am.
We'll talk later about
the plants, okay?
You know, I've got some great
ideas for the landscaping.
Oh.
(ominous orchestral music)
Nice to see you, Father Brennan.
- Good to see you, Keith.
- And the laparoscopy confirmed
that your blockage is in
both of your fallopian tubes.
Now, surgery is possible,
but there is no guarantee
you'll be able to get
pregnant after that.
- But this is a simple
operation, isn't it?
- Yes, but the percentages
aren't in here favor
because of the--
- What does this mean exactly?
Can she have a baby or not?
- In my opinion, it's out
of the question.
I'm sorry.
Look, I understand if you'd
like to get a second opinion.
And there is always adoption.
- Let's go.
(ominous orchestral music)
(laughing)
- Watch out!
(tires screeching)
(horn honking)
- You idiot!
What's wrong with you?
Didn't you see the stoplight,
you moron?
(horn honking)
(ominous orchestral music)
- All I want is a family!
Daddy needs a family!
It was perfect and then
he had to leave.
She encouraged it.
She encourage him to go.
Why don't they ever let
me do it right?
(grand orchestral music)
- [Announcer] With
Lauren Sutliffe,
on location reporter
for Crime Search.
- Steve, dinner's ready.
- [Announcer] USA.
- [Girl] You can't catch
me, you can't catch me.
- At the top of our weekly
crime search most wanted list
is the family serial killer,
so named
because he seeks out and
marries single mothers
with one child and then
inexplicably kills them
in cold blood.
- Andy, come on.
- Authorities nation-wide
were shocked when this man
escaped a second time
from this seemingly
impregnable fortress.
I'm standing outside
the gates of the
Puget Sound Institute For
The Criminally Insane,
where he brutally murdered
a hospital administrator.
- Andy, come on, son
it's time to eat.
- Just a second, dad.
- And in this second shocking
escape, just nine months ago,
he savagely killed three
more security guards.
Police, nation-wide
have absolutely no clues
as to his whereabouts.
Here's the most
recent photograph
of the family serial killer.
If you see this man,
contact your local
authorities immediately.
He's considered
extremely dangerous.
- [Steve] Andy, well come on.
- Just a second, dad.
- The family serial killer
has a long list of aliases
and even longer list of grieving
families left in his wake,
which makes this grizzly
story even more chilling.
This is Lauren Sutliffe,
reporting on location
for Crime Search USA.
(grand orchestral music)
(light orchestral music)
- Gravy, honey?
- Oh, no thanks.
Boy, that new case
on television.
Wow, really weird.
I gotta start a new file.
- Wonder how the FBI ever
got along without ya, Andy.
(laughing)
(romantic orchestral music)
- Do you know how long
it's been since I've been
with a man like this?
- How long?
- Since before Nicky's
father got sick.
Almost two years.
That's too long.
- We better slow down.
- Why, what's the matter?
- Well, let's just go slow.
It's more romantic.
- Keith Grant, you're
the most amazing man.
I feel like I could be
with you like this forever.
(door creaking)
- It's late.
- Oh, thought you were asleep.
- Yeah, I had to finish up
some work at the nursery.
- I called.
There was no answer.
- I let it ring.
See, we never answer it
after we close.
- I made an appointment
with Father Brennan.
- What for?
- To talk.
You know, we've been
married six weeks now and
something's changed between us.
- I don't see why we have
to talk to Father Brennan.
- It's important to me
that you be there, Keith.
He wants us to go to confession.
(dramatic orchestral music)
(shower running)
(motor whirring)
- I'll shovel, lover boy.
- You okay?
- Level it out.
I know what's going on,
you know?
(ominous orchestral music)
- What?
- You and the babe you
rented your house to.
I know what's going on.
- I don't know what
you're talking about.
- I was driving past your
old place last night,
coming home from the bar
and guess what I saw, huh?
- I don't know.
What did you see?
- Why, I saw my truck
parked in her driveway.
So, I says to myself, "Self,
"what's my truck doing
parked at the Fox's place
"late at night, when it's
supposed to be
"in your driveway?"
Now I'm getting real curious.
So, I hop out of my car
and I take a look
through the window.
And I take a real long look
and guess what I saw, Keithy?
You, rolling around on the
floor with her,
while your little wife was
at home waiting for ya,
mister I believe in the
family bullshit.
- No, no, you are completely
wrong, Mr. Thompson.
It's not what you think.
You have no idea how
important my family is to me.
- You're full of crap.
(rake thudding)
(intense orchestral music)
(screaming)
- Silence is golden, Mr.
Thompson.
(screaming)
(rake thudding)
(choking)
(phone ringing)
Thompson's nursery.
No, I'm sorry, he's not.
Actually, he won't be
back for quite a while.
He had to go back east on
family business.
I'm Keith, the new manager.
Sure, come on in.
I'll be happy to show you
what we've got.
Bye bye.
(phone hanging up)
Well, business is
picking up already.
- And authorities have
finally come up
with their first solid
lead on the escaped
family serial killer.
This is an update on the
story we reported
on last week's show.
(light orchestral music)
I'm standing in the actual room
in which authorities
believe the wanted killer
had plastic surgery and
then murdered the physician
at least nine months ago.
The victim has been identified
as a discredited
plastic surgeon,
who had been arrested in
two other states
for operating a medical
practice without a license.
The police crime lab has
positively matched fingerprints
found here with those of the
escaped family serial killer.
I'm speaking with police
pathologist, Dr. Laerson.
What type of after
effects would you see
following plastic surgery?
- In most cases, there
are very subtle scars
behind the ears, above
the hairline,
and in the facial creases.
Ordinarily, these scars are
visible for a year or more
after surgery.
- Thank you.
However the fact that he most
probably had plastic surgery,
makes his capture all the
more difficult.
Again, here is the most
recent photograph
of the family serial killer.
If you see this man,
contact you local
authorities immediately.
He's considered
extremely dangerous.
(door opening)
- Hi, dad.
- Andy, you're supposed
to be sound asleep, son.
- [Lauren] Reporting
live on location--
- Sorry, I got a new
case to work on.
- Of the family serial killer,
this is Lauren Sutliffe
for Crime Search USA.
(TV clicking off)
- Now will you go to bed?
- This is an amazing case.
- Yeah.
(light orchestral music)
Hope this kind of stuff
doesn't give you nightmares.
Now you think you can
wait till morning
to catch the bad guys?
- Dad, we detectives
never sleep.
(laughing)
- Sure is great having you here,
son.
In all that time we were
apart, I really did miss you.
- I missed you too, dad.
- Sweet dream, buddy.
(door closing)
(ominous orchestral music)
(sighing)
- Bless me, Father, for
I have signed.
- And how long has it been
since your last confession,
my son?
- A few months, Father.
I have a few things to confess.
I didn't report a cash
purchase at my job
just before my boss
left on a long vacation.
- And what else?
- I parked my truck twice
in a handicapped zone.
- Is there anything in
your personal life
that you wish to discuss?
- No, I'm a happy family man.
- [Father] Tell me where
you're from, my son.
- St. Louis.
- Have you ever been
married before?
(ominous orchestral music)
- Of course not.
- [Father] Have you ever
been unfaithful to your wife?
- Absolutely not.
I don't understand this
line of questioning, Father.
I came to confess my sins,
not to be interrogated.
- Your penance is one act
of contrition,
five our fathers, and
five hail Marys.
Go in peace, my son.
(window sliding)
(sighing)
(laughing)
(light orchestral music)
- Vroom, vroom.
- He just loves that
plane you got him.
This is the happiest day
he's had in a very long time.
- Well, there's many more
where that came from.
He's a fine boy.
- Keith?
- Hmm?
- Move in with us, me and Nicky.
We'd be so happy together.
- I don't think I could do that,
Jennifer.
- Why not may I ask?
- Because I don't think it's
right to live with a woman
out of wedlock.
- I'd make a terrific wife.
I love you, Keith.
Keith?
- I'm flattered, but I'd need
some time to think about it.
- And you would be a
terrific father.
You and Nicky get
along so great.
- He's a wonderful boy.
- Then say yes.
- We'd have to move out
of Deer View.
- Why?
We love it here?
- I'd need a higher paying
job to support you and Nicky.
And anyway, I don't like
working at that nursery
with Mr. Thompson.
I wanna get back to my
old job in real estate.
- Does that mean yes?
- Not yet, Jenny.
But if we're going to
be a family,
it's important to have a
new beginning.
(tires screeching)
(ominous orchestral music)
- Andy's back.
He got homesick and
wanted to be with us.
Steve brought him back
this afternoon.
He's back, Keith.
We're a family again.
Just like you wanted.
- That's great.
It's gonna be great
having Nicky home.
- Nicky?
Who's Nicky?
- Wait a minute.
Hold on here.
I'm sorry.
I was so excited to see him
I forgot what I was thinking.
Of course, I know it's Andy.
Yeah, I'm gonna go chop
some firewood.
We're gonna have some
marshmallows tomorrow night.
Andy's back.
(light orchestral music)
- And in your homeroom,
you'll have your own cubby
and that's where all the boys
and girls keep their jackets
and their lunchboxes.
Oh, and see all these drawings
here on the wall, hmm?
That's some of the work from
the arts and crafts class.
Would you like to have one
of your drawings on the wall?
- [Nicky] Yes.
(ominous orchestral music)
- [Christine] And you're
a single mother?
- Yes.
- And your son's name
is Nicholas.
- Yes, we call him Nicky.
- Nicky?
- Yes.
- Would you excuse me?
- Of course.
(ominous orchestral music)
School will be great for Nicky.
Finally he'll have some
children to play with.
There are no kids out
where we are.
- Where did you say
you were living?
- We rented a cute
cottage out at the end
of Harrelsburg Road.
It's just a few miles
out of Deer View.
- I think I know that area.
(light orchestral music)
(computer beeping)
(keyboard clicking)

(ominous orchestral music)
(low rumbling)
(door closing)
(sighing)
- [Father] Andy, this is
the most preposterous thing
I've ever seen.
- Look, same weight,
same height.
- They don't look
anything like each other.
- He had plastic surgery.
I saw the scars behind his ears.
Here's the story on TV.
Look, they found finger prints
where he killed the
plastic surgeon.
If we can somehow get
Keith's fingerprints.
- Andy, now you're
taking this too far
and it's gotta stop right now.
- Father Brennan, this is
why I came home,
to protect my mother.
If I'm right...
Did you check all
those Keith Grants
in Charleston and Louisville?
- Mm-hmm, yes I did and
they all still live there.
- Wow, great.
Why didn't you tell me?
- And later on he told me that
he was from St. Louis, hmm.
- So, what about that?
- Well, I suppose, if I
don't help you with this,
you'll probably do it
by yourself.
- That's right.
- Well, if this is what it
takes to prove your wrong,
Andy boy, then I'll help.
(light orchestral music)
- Thanks.
- You're not welcome.
Now, let's see this.
(ominous orchestral music)
- You just go and invite
him to dinner.
You don't even ask me?
- I thought you like
Father Brennan.
What is the big deal anyway?
- Maybe I had other plans,
like taking you and Andy out.
- Well, you didn't say anything.
We can go out tomorrow
night if you'd like.
Besides, I didn't invite
Father Brennan for dinner.
Andy did.
They're friends, remember?
(knife chopping)
Do you know a woman named
Jennifer Ashley?
- No, why do you ask?
- She enrolled her son
at school today.
Just moved into town.
- Never heard of her.
(light orchestral music)
- [Father] That was a great
dinner, as usual, Christine.
You're a five-star cook.
- Oh, you say that to everyone.
(laughing)
- How else would I get so
many free meals?
(laughing)
- Say, did you hear they
caught the Grady bandit
after she tried to hold
up the Texas Prairie bank?
- Well, I'm afraid most
of us don't keep up
with things like that, Andy.
Father?
- Sure.
Thank you.
- It took 'em two years
to finally catch her.
- Hmm.
- Andy, I'll never understand
why you're not interested
in the same things
as other kids.
Here, let me help you.
- So, I heard you have Mrs.
Jacobs for math this year.
- Yeah, she's probably
150 years old.
(suspenseful orchestral music)
She's never even heard
of new calculus texts.
Check for fingerprints.
- [Father] Well, a lot of
your classmates
haven't either, Andy.
- Have some pie and ice cream,
Father.
- Oh, I may burst.
- Come on.
- But I how can I resist?
(laughing)
Thank you.
- Andy?
- Thanks.
(light orchestral music)
- Dinner was great, Christine.
I won't need to eat for a week.
(laughing)
- Thank you so much for coming,
Father.
- It was a pleasure to have you,
Father.
- Thank you, Keith.
- See you tomorrow in
the rec room.
- See you, Andy boy.
- [Christine] Bye bye.
Drive safe.
- Oh, I almost forgot.
It was pretty cold out tonight
and I didn't turn the
heaters on at the nursery.
The plants might freeze.
- Do you want me to go with you?
- Well, no, that's all right,
honey.
Why don't you stay with Andy.
I'll be right back.

(light piano music)
(saw whirring)
(light orchestral music)
- Hi, honey.
I was in the neighborhood
and I just decided
to come in and say hello.
- It's nice to see you,
Jennifer,
but I'm pretty busy.
- What happened to your hand?
- Oh, it's nothing.
So, what's on your mind?
- Well, I was just wondering
whether you'd given
any more thought to moving
in with me and Nicky.
- Well, to tell you the truth,
I haven't had much time to
think about it.
- I don't understand, Keith.
Is there something you're
not telling me?
Why are you acting so strange?
- Maybe we need some time
to rethink this whole thing,
you know?
There are just some
complications I need to work
out.
You know, I don't take
marriage lightly.
You must understand that.
- Keith, I am not
waiting forever.
With you or without you,
I want to make a life
for Nicky and myself
here in Deer View.
- No, no, no, no, I
couldn't handle that.
Not in the same town.
Please, no more pressure.
I told you, I need
some more time.
(ominous orchestral music)
- Well, I'm sorry, but you've
just about run out of time.
- Very nice, don't you think?
- Oh, ladies.
Let me know if you
need any help.
(keyboard clicking)
(light orchestral music)
(knocking on door)
(video game beeping)
- Come in.
- Hi, Andy.
What ya doing?
- Oh, nothing.
Just playing a
little video game.
- Andy,
I need you to be as strong
as a little boy can be.
- What's up?
- I've got some sad news.
- What?
- Father Brennan died.
(dramatic orchestral music)
He was in a terrible
car accident last night.
Isn't that terrible?
I can't tell you how sorry I am,
son.
You know, Andy, I've
been thinking.
You spend far too much time
fooling around with
this computer.
You should be outside,
having fun,
like other normal boys your age.
(cable unplugging)
Let's try to be better friends.
I wanna spend more time
with you, slugger.
Why don't we make a fresh
start, just forget the past?
(computer powering off)
What do ya say?
(crying)
(sniffling)
Good morning, family.
Do you know what today is?
Anybody wanna guess?
It's Father's Day.
So, happy Father's Day to me.
(ominous orchestral music)
- Who among us can unravel
the mysterious fabric of life
and death?
Heavenly father, we ask you
to accept our good friend
and shepherd, Ernest
Thomas Brennan,
into your beloved arms.
And now, Andy Davis, who
was one of Father Brennan's
closest friends, would
like to say a few words.
- I just wanted to
say thank you,
my friend.
All the times you played
with me and made me laugh.
You were always there
when I needed you.
You were like a father to me.
I miss you.
I love you, Father Brennan.
Goodbye.
(crying)
(ominous orchestral music)
- [Priest] Our father,
who art in heaven.
- I'm gonna take a little walk.
This is getting too upsetting.
- [Priest] Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy
will be done,
on Earth as it is in heaven.
Amen.
- [Group] Amen.
- Amen.
Okay?
- Hmm?
- I'll meet you back at the car.
Okay?
(ominous orchestral music)
Jennifer?
- [Jennifer] Oh, hi.
- [Christine] Hi.
- It's terrible about
Father Brennan, isn't it?
- Oh, it's a great loss.
He was very dear to our family.
- Oh, I'm so sorry.
- I was wondering if I could
talk to you about something.
- Oh, is it about Nicky?
He says he loves school.
- Oh, no.
He's doing just fine.
He's a great little boy.
- Oh, good.
- Uh.
It's a little awkward.
Maybe now's not the right time.
- Well, why don't I invite
you to my home.
I'm practically a
recluse out there
and I'd love the company.
- Okay, later on this evening?
- Oh, that would be great.
Nicky's got a Cub Scout meeting,
so we'd have time to
relax a little bit.
- About eight, 8:30?
- That'd be perfect.
Let me just give you directions.
I'm the last house at the
end of Harrelsburg Road.
- I know just where it is.
- Oh, okay.
I'll see you then.
- All right.
- Okay.
- Bye.
- [Keith] So, who's that
woman you were talking with
after the service?
- [Christine] Oh, well
that was Jennifer Ashley.
You know, she enrolled
her son, Nicky, at school.
- [Keith] Oh, yeah, yeah.
So, what did she have to say?
- [Christine] She invited me
to her house tonight to talk.
(ominous orchestral music)
(car door closing)
- Listen, Christine.
I've gotta be alone for a while.
After that funeral, I've
gotta get my mind
off Father Brennan.
I'm gonna go to the
nursery and do some work.
Well, you're going out anyway.
- But it's Sunday, Keith.
- I know, but Mr. Thompson
might be back next week
and I'm behind on my work.
I'll be back to spend time
with Andy before you leave.
Promise.
- Go on inside, okay, honey?
I'll be right there.
- Okay.
- Keith, I can postpone
my talk with Jennifer
until tomorrow if that's
what you want.
- It's all right, we'll
have a late dinner
when you get home tonight.
- Oh, I'll just tell her
to keep it short.
It is a school night anyway.
Look, Keith, I know
Andy's really upset
about Father Brennan's death.
Could you talk to him?
- Don't worry.
I'll be sure to spend some
time with him tonight.
If you need me, call
the nursery.
(ominous orchestral music)
- All right, I'll see you later.
(truck door closing)
- She had to do it.
Can't leave me alone!
Just wanna do it right.
I just wanna do it right,
but they never let me.
(tires screeching)
They make me do it!
(light orchestral music)
(sighing)
- Mom.
Mom, can you hear me?
- Yeah, honey.
What is it?
- Is there anything that you
think is strange about Keith?
- We have to talk about
this now, honey?
- Well, is there anything
that bothers you about him?
- I'll let you know in
a couple of hours, okay?
- How come he's never mentioned
any family or friends?
- I don't know, Sherlock.
What are you getting at?
- You ever asked him about
those scars behind his ears?
- No, I never asked him.
Why?
Come on, Andy.
Out with it, why?
- Well, maybe Keith
isn't who he says he is.
I mean, maybe he's
really someone else.
- Yeah, well, with any luck,
maybe he's really Kevin
Costner or Tom Cruise.
- Come on, mom.
I'm serious.
I'm really worried
about this guy.
- Okay, mister worrywart.
What is it exactly that
you're worried about?
- I'm worried about
him hurting you.
- Oh, Andy.
This is really serious, honey.
I know Keith and I are
having our problems, okay,
but don't you think you're
letting your imagination
a little wild here?
- I meant physically.
(dramatic orchestral music)
- Oh, honey.
What is the matter with you?
Keith has never ever done
anything like that to me ever.
Why, has he ever hurt you,
honey?
Has he ever hurt you?
- No, no, he hasn't.
- Oh, thank God.
(phone ringing)
Hello?
- [Jennifer] Christine,
I'm glad I caught you
before you left.
This is Jennifer.
- Hi, Jennifer.
- [Jennifer] Would it be okay
if we postponed until
tomorrow night?
- Sure.
There's no rush really.
- My boyfriend just called.
He said it was some kind
of an emergency.
- Your boyfriend?
- [Jennifer] Yes, I have
to go meet him right away.
I'm really sorry.
- That's okay.
I understand.
We'll talk tomorrow.
- Thanks.
I'll see you then.

Keith?
Where are you?
(dog barking)
(intense orchestral music)
Oh, Keith, you scared the
hell out of me.
Why is it so dark in here?
Why are we here at this hour?
- Hi, honey.
I'm glad you were able to
make it on such short notice.
- Oh, well, you said it was
an emergency over the phone.
- Yes, it is.
I have an answer and I needed
to tell you right away.
- I don't understand.
You mean about us
living together?
- Mm-hmm.
I'm afraid the answer is no.
You see, I need to
protect my family.
I can no longer allow
you to endanger them.
- What family?
What are you talking about?
- I have a wonderful family
with a beautiful wife
and a great little boy.
And you have gotten in the way.
- You son of a bitch.
You lying bastard.
(heavy smacking)
(grunting)
(intense orchestral music)
- Are you upset with me,
Jennifer?
(grunting)
What's your hurry, Jen?
You just got here.
(grunting)
Don't worry, sweetheart.
We'll have everything
worked out soon.
(grunting)
(whistling)
(motor whirring)
(ominous orchestral music)
- I'll be right back.
- Mom, please don't go in there.
- Andy, I don't wanna hear
that nonsense again, okay?
But I want you to stay put.
(dog barking)
(machine whirring)
Keith?
Are you there?
(intense orchestral music)
(gasping)
- Hi, honey, what a
pleasant surprise.
- Oh, God, you scared me.
- What are you doing here?
I thought you were
visiting Jennifer.
- I was on my way there,
but I just thought I'd drop by.
So, are you alone?
- Just me and my ficus.
- Whose car is that outside?
- I didn't know there was
a car outside.
- Where is she, Keith?
That's Jennifer's car
outside and you know it.
- Christine, I would
never do anything
to harm our family.
You know that.
Everything is under control,
believe me.
You are my wife and I love you,
so please go home and
I'll meet you there soon.
- I asked you where is she?
(moaning)
(ominous orchestral music)
(sighing)
- Things are getting
very complicated.
- Oh my God.
(screaming)
- I told you it was
under control,
but you wouldn't listen,
would you?
You wouldn't let me fix things,
would you?
(heavy smacking)
(screaming)
(grunting)
(thunder crashing)
(thunder crashing)
(intense orchestral music)
You couldn't leave well
enough alone, could you?
You had to get suspicious.
You had to stop here!
(thunder crashing)
(grunting)
(yelling)
I was handling everything
for our family.
(yelling)
(grunting)
(grunting)
Why didn't you just
let me fix it?
(grunting)
(grunting)
(heavy punching)
(sighing)
(grunting)
Well, ladies, are you
enjoying your talk?
It's girl's night out.

I didn't you were here, son.
What a pleasant surprise.
(ominous orchestral music)
Don't worry, Andy.
I know we can work this out.
After all, father knows best.
(grunting)
Andy, come on.
I knew you could get out
of that chair.
Andy, come on.
(thunder crashing)
Where are you, Andy?
(grunting)
Come on, son.
Don't be afraid.
(whimpering)
Andy, where are you?
Come to daddy.
(whimpering)
Andy, I see you found
your mother's fork.
(thunder crashing)
Come on, Andy.
Don't be afraid.
Just come to daddy.
Come on, slugger.
(grunting)
(screaming)
(machine buzzing)
(triumphant orchestral music)

- Not dead!

- Let go of my son, you bastard!
Let go, let go!
Let go!

(electricity zapping)
(dramatic orchestral music)
- Mom, are you all right?
- Yes, I'm just fine, Andy.
(rain falling)
Let me help you up, okay?
- No, no.
I'm all right.
I can do it.
(gasping)
(crying)
Oh, I love you very much, Andy.
- I love you too, mom.
Happy Father's Day, slugger.

Pretty soon, you'll be
impossible to find.
(coughing)
Yes, yes, good, good.
This is the right amount.
(laughing)
I'm sure you can understand
that I don't like
to bill insurance companies.
(chuckling)
Shall we begin?
Come on, come on.
Well, come on.
(distant boat horn blowing)
Don't worry, I washed
them earlier.
(jacket unzipping)
This is going to
take a few hours
and there's going to
be, well, a lot of pain.
I've got everything I need,
but I'm a little short
on anesthetic.
Take it easy.
Let go of me.
Look, I'm the best there is.
You're gonna look
like a new man,
different, but quite normal.
Now, I need you to be as
absolutely still as possible.
(suspenseful orchestral
music rising)
(car approaching)
(coughing)
You know, this ain't no
damn hotel I'm running here.
It was never a part of our deal

you're completely healed.
I mean, this ain't no
damn room service, and--

I gave you the day off
so you could do this.
Supposed to be busting

- Now, relax, Keith.
Nobody's gonna be disappointed.

We got a dozen palm trees to

- I'll be there.
- Sober too.
- Mr. Thompson, I told you.
I do not drink.
- Yeah yeah.
Father, if you don't mind,

Hi.
Here you go, slugger.
Happy Easter.
Ha--
(laughing)
- Say thank you, Andy.
- Thanks.
- Happy Easter.
- Your ear is bent.
- Andy.
- Oh, I'm afraid he's right.
- May I help you with that?
- On behalf of all the
Easter bunnies in the world,
I thank you.
(laughing)
I'm Keith Grant and I'm
afraid it's a lost cause.
- I'm Christine Davis and
I think you look adorable.

You're a good dancer.

- What about poison?
- Okay, I think it was
stabbing with a butcher knife.
Who do you think it was?
The butler, the gardener,
or the chauffeur?
- [Father] The butler.
- Okay, I think it's
the gardener.
- Couldn't be.
(chuckling)
- Well, I'll just run it tonight
and see Compu-tective says.

- Try one foot in front

- Christine Davis, when
was the last time
that someone nice and attractive
and of a male persuasion
showed up in this town.
- About three months ago when
Mark moved into this town
and we all know what a
great big flop that was.
I don't exactly have a
great track record
when it comes to men.
- But that's over.
You better strike while
the hormones are hot.
(laughing)
- Cut it out.
- Listen, I saw the way you
two were looking at each other
this afternoon.
- We didn't look at each
other any way.

- Well, I think you
better find out.
And if he's not, remember
rabbits are supposed
to be very fertile.

Andy and I are very happy here.
- So, it's just you
and your son?
- Uh-huh, for over
two years now.
So, how 'bout you?
Married?
- No, not yet, but so--
- Mind if I cut in here?
- [Keith] No.
- Sorry I'm late.
- Hello, Mark.
- Come on, Christine.
I said I was sorry.
I had to work late.
You know, I'm doing this

Come on, Christine, I'm
really trying.
I need you to give me

- What's with the candles, mom?
I thought we were just
having dinner.
- We are just having dinner.
Now, don't you start teasing me.
How do I look?
- Great, mom.
You just look great.
- Pot roast, I forgot
to season the pot roast.
- You seasoned it 10
times already.
(doorbell ringing)
Any long and he's gonna go away.
- Andy, don't be so helpful.
Okay.
(light orchestral music)
Hi.
- [Keith] Hi.
- You found us.
- I sure did.
It's the prettiest
house on the block.
(laughing)
- I thought you said before
you sold real estate.
- Boy, he's got a mind
like a steel trap.
Well, I did that too and
I was pretty good at it.
- [Christine] Now,
where was this?
- In Charleston.
- [Christine] Mmm.
- Is that in South Carolina?
- That's right.
Anyway, I needed a break
from the rat race
and I've always enjoyed
working with my hands,
you know, building and growing
and Mr. Thompson was kind enough
to give me a job where I
also get plenty of fresh air
and sunshine, so I'm
really happy here.
Deer View is a wonderful place.
- If you like cemeteries.
- Andy.
- [Andy] Well.
- Well, what?
- Well, this place is so dull.
I mean, when I grow up, I
wanna move to like Chicago
or New York or--
- Andy, Andy, the
people in big cities
are not nearly as nice as
they are here.
Like you folks, inviting
me to a home-cooked meal.
- Well, I suppose we've
never had a bunny rabbit
for dinner before.
(laughing)
- I used to do these
when I was a kid.
Did you ever put one
of 'em together, Andy?
- Well, I'm not into
models much.
Computer sleuthing,
that's my specialty.
- What do you mean?
Like Sherlock Holmes or
Agatha Christie?
- Well, kind of.
I have a program that
gives you different clues.
You have to figure out
who the murderer is,
how they did it, and what
the motive was.
- Sounds fascinating.
Maybe you can show me
how it works sometime.
- Sure.
(ominous orchestral music)
- [Kid] Over here.
- [Friend] Okay.
- [Keith] Hi.
- Well, hi.
Well, this is a nice surprise.
- I hope I'm not intruding,
but--
- No.
- I just wanted to thank
you for a great dinner
and a wonderful evening.
- [Christine] Well, we
enjoyed having you.
- And we just got these in.
I thought you might like 'em.
- Thank you.
- Well, that Andy's quite a boy.
Sharp as a tack.
- Well, sometimes he can
be a little too smart.
- Miss Davis.
- Just a minute, Tiffany.
- Miss Davis, please.
- I'll be right with you,
Tiffany.
- Miss Davis, but I gotta
pee right now.
- Oh, thank you for
telling me that, Tiffany.
Well, I guess I better go.
My public's calling.
(groaning)
- I can see you have
your hands full.
Anyway, thanks again.
- Well, sure.
Keith?
Do you like picnics?
- Sure do.
Sunday's my day off.
- Great.
I'll see you about noon?
- I look forward to it.
(ominous orchestral music)
- Christine, we need to talk.
- Mark, now is not a good time.
Tiffany has just--
- You had time to talk to
that gardener.
- He's not a gardener.
And besides we don't have
anything to talk about.
- I think we do.
- Shhh.
- [Mark] We have been
seeing each other
for the last three months
and now you start
dating someone else?
- Mark, we broke up
two weeks ago.
It wasn't working.
- Well, it was working for me.
I thought we had a
future together.
I tried hard to be a
good stepfather to Andy.
- Well, you tried too hard.
Mark, we've been through
all this before.
It just didn't work out
for me and Andy.
- We could be the
perfect family.
- Mark, please, just let go.
- [Mark] Christine.
- Don't.
- I love you.
- It's over.
(ominous orchestral music)
(dog barking)
Well, he's happier than I've
seen him in a long time.
- He's a terrific kid.
That model's not much
of a challenge for him.
He's almost done with it.
(laughing)
- And I'm happier than
I've been in a long time.
- Well, you deserve to be.
(light orchestral music)
How did Andy end up in
a wheelchair?
- Well, when Andy's
father and I got divorced
a couple years ago, Steve
had Andy every other weekend,
and one weekend when he
came to pick up Andy,
we got into an argument over,
you know, God knows what
and Andy got upset,
started to cry
and he ran out of the
house and into the street.
Never saw the car.
- I'm so sorry.
- It's a lot to handle.
I mean, it's really
overwhelming for him.
- Well, he sure does seem
to handle his handicap well.
- Yes, he does.
But that isn't the whole story.
You know, he was in the hospital
for many months of therapy.
At least a dozen
doctors examined him.
Keith, they all said
the same thing,
that he should be able to walk,
that physically he can.
But they don't know.
They think it's
psychosomatic or something.
- Then we can never give up hope
that he'll recover
some day soon.
Maybe I can help.
(ominous orchestral music)
- We had a wonderful time.
Andy, did you thank Keith
for a great day?
- Thanks.
(laughing)
- I had a great day too,
slugger.
Let's do it again real soon.
(laughing)
- I think I can guarantee it.
Bye.
- Bye.
- Sorry, didn't mean
to startle you.
- That's all right.
I didn't see you.
Can I help you?
- Maybe.
I'm Mark Wraynal.
We met at the Easter dance,
remember?
I live around here and you're
new in town, aren't you?
- Yes, I am.
I'm Keith Grant.
Will you excuse me?
So, what can I do for you?
- I just thought since
we're gonna be neighbors,
we outta be acquainted.
Nice place you got here.
A lot of fresh air,
never gets too hot.
Plenty of privacy.
- I like it.
- Did you buy or are
you renting?
- Mark, you're not here to
discuss real estate, are you?
- No, I guess not.
Look, pal, I think it's time
you and I had a man to man talk
about a certain lady by
the name of Christine.
- What about her?
- I think you should know
that I've been seeing her
for the last three months
and I'm also very fond
of her son, Andy.
We're gonna be married.
We're gonna be a family.
I'm gonna be Andy's stepfather.
- Well, she never mentioned
any of this to me.
Is she aware of all your plans?
- Look, pal, I don't think
that's any concern of yours.
You just stay the hell away
from Christine and Andy.
Find your own family.
- Well, Mark, I understand.
After all, you were
there first, weren't you?
- Yeah, glad you see it my way.
Well, look, pal, no hard
feelings, huh?
No offense.
- None taken.

- The lord has told us
that the greatest of all
our human virtues is love,

between a man and a woman,
the love of a mother
for her child.
And there is no greater joy
in the eyes of the lord,
(baby crying)
than the family unit.
It is a gift given to us
by the almighty
and it must be preserved.
(light orchestral music)
(video game beeping)
- Hi.
- So, Andy boy, who was
our culprit, huh?
Was it the murderous butler
or the nasty chauffer
or was it the gardener, huh?
- Well, I haven't spent much
time at my computer lately.
- Why's that?
I'm anxious to find out
who the murderer is.
- We spend a lot of
time with Keith.
- Well, you don't sound
too happy about that.
- Well, mom likes him.
- How 'bout you?
How do you feel?
- Well, he means well.
There's just something
that bugs me about him.
I mean, he's a real
cornball, a real square.
- Your mom seems to
really like him
and that's important.
He seems like a nice
enough fella.
- Yeah, I know, but he
just tries too hard.
He's a real nerd.
- Why don't you give him
another chance?
He might surprise you.
Now, back to our case.
Was it poison
(imitating choking)
or strangulation, huh?
(laughing)
(light orchestral music)
(computer beeping)
(keyboard clicking)
(laughing)
- It's time for bed, slugger.
- I'm not finished yet.
What are you doing here anyway?
- Oh, I came to tuck you in.
- Where's mom?
- Up we go.
- Hey, what are you doing?
Put me down.
- There you go.
Did you brush your teeth yet?
- I can do it.
- Don't fight me, Andy.
I'm here to help you.
You should get used to it.
- I can do it, you know?
- I know, you're a big boy.
Did you brush your teeth yet?
- Yes, I did.
- Good boy, good boy.
Goodnight.
Sleep tight.
(ominous orchestral music)
Don't let the bed bugs bite.
(dramatic orchestral music)
(light orchestral music)
- Mom.
- Andy.
You should be asleep.
- I need to know where
the new printing paper is.
- It's right under your desk,
where it always is, honey.
- Let me help you, tiger.
- No, he can do it himself,
Keith.
All right, Sherlock, it's
lights out for you right now.
Goodnight, Andy.
I don't know what's
gotten into him.
- Well, he's just not used to
having a man around the house.
All he needs is time, Christine.
- I hope you're right.
You know, I worry
about him so much.
You know, just last
month, I found him trying
to use his computer to
access local police records
on an unsolved murder
for the last 20 years.
Can you believe it?
My son, the hacker.
- Gotta be pretty smart
to be a hacker.
He's a good boy, Christine.
(light orchestral music)
- [Christine] I wish you
could stay with me tonight.
- I want to.
I really want to,
but I can't do that.
- Why not?
- Because I'm not the kind
of guy to come into town
and just take advantage
of a single mother.
I'm just not that way.
- Oh, but I want to
make love to you.
(sighing)
- Not until it's right.
Not till we're a family.
- Keith Grant, did you
just ask me to marry you?
- If I hear the right answer.
- You are the most incredible
man I have ever known.
- Is that a yes?
Will you marry me?
(light orchestral music)
- And do you,
Christine Ann Davis,
accept Keith Grant to
be your husband,
to love him and honor him,
holding him above all others,
in sickness and in health
until death to you part?
- I do.
- Please take the marriage ring.
(ominous orchestral music)
Place it on Christine's
finger and repeat after me.
With this ring, I thee wed.
- With this ring, I thee wed.
- And now, by the power
granted under me,
by God and the state, I
now pronounce you
husband and wife.
You may kiss the bride.
Ladies and gentlemen,
may I present,
Mr. and Mrs. Keith Grant.
(crowd applauding)
(light orchestral music)
- Thank you so much.
Hey, hi, glad you could make it.
Hi.
- Champagne for you, sir.
- Hey, Andy.
Well, Father Brennan, that
was a beautiful ceremony.
Thank you.
- Well, thank you.
You know, it's
always a pleasure,
seeing two people so
happy together.
It's too bad your
relatives and your friends
couldn't make it.
- Yeah, well, Louisville's
a long way away
and of such short notice.
- Mmmm.
- I thought you said you
were from Charleston.
- No, I grew up in Louisville.
In fact, my family
still lives there.
I spent the last few
years in Charleston,
just before I moved here.
- I have a very good
friend in Charleston.
I went to seminary with him.
Father Driskell, do
you know him?
- No, I don't.
Will you excuse me, Father.
Christine sent me up
here for some champagne
and I'm not about to
keep her waiting.
Well, at least not on
our wedding day.
- Of course, we have plenty
of time to talk later.
- I told mom she
should've waited.
She hardly knows
anything about him.
- You know, Andy, I suggest
that you keep your suspicions
and your investigations to
your computer games, hmmm?

- Don't you think it's
about time to hit the hay?
Brought you some hot milk.
Isn't that what a
babysitter's suppose to do?
Oh.
(laughing)
Andy, what are you doing?
- I want to find out about him.
- Andy you're taking
this too far.
You can't do this.
You can't pry into Keith's life.
- Look, he tells you one
thing and he tells us another.
- It's not fair to Keith
and it's not fair to
your mother.
Now what do you think
you're gonna find out?
- I wanna find out who
my stepfather really is.
(dramatic orchestral music)
(waves crashing)
(moaning)
- Can you check
these out for me?
- No, I'll do no such thing,
young man.
Your imagination is
getting out of hand.
Now, you're going to
bed right now.
- Come on, Father.
- No.
- I can't make these long
distance phone calls.
My mom will kill me.
Besides, who's gonna
talk seriously to a kid?
You've gotta help me.
- No, absolutely not.
This nonsense stops
right here and now.
(sighing)
- In less than 10 phone calls,
we can find out if he is
from Charleston or Louisville
or if he's lying to us
for some reason.
Come on, Father, you've
just got to help me.
- Well, I won't make
any promises,
but if you go to sleep right
now, I'll think about it.
- Deal.
Yeah.
(light orchestral music)
Thanks.
- Yeah, yeah.
Goodnight.
- Oh, and one last thing.
- Hmmm, what now?
- Did you find any cookies
in the kitchen?
- Oh, you, I told you, I
told you that.
(imitating choking)
Get to sleep, now.
(laughing)
(grand orchestral music)
- [Announcer] With
Lauren Sutliffe,
on location reporter for
Crime Search USA.
(TV powering off)
- Hiya, son.
How you doing?
- Hey, that's my
favorite TV show.
- You shouldn't be watching
programs like this.
You should be outside
playing, like other kids.
- I don't wanna go outside.
I wanna watch TV.
- Andy, I've been you
stepfather for two weeks now.
I wanna start spending
some more time together.
Come on, I've got a
great game for ya.
- I don't wanna play any games.
(ominous orchestral music)
- Well, Andy, I've got a
surprise for ya.
- What are those scars
behind your ears?
- Oh, it's nothing.
Just an accident when
I was a kid.
Look, what I got for ya,
a genuine pro model.
- Are you crazy?
I can't play football.
- Sure you can.
All you gotta do is try.
(sighing)
Ready, Andy?
Catch.
(grunting)
That's okay, Andy.
You can do this.
All you have to do is move
your arms and your hands, okay?
Every little boy can do this.
- [Andy] I just can't.
- No such word.
Here it comes.
(grunting)
(ominous orchestral music)
- Ow, my arm.
I hurt my arm.
Help me.
- Andy, listen to me.
Walk.
Just get up off the
ground and walk.
- I can't.
- Come on, Andy, do it.
Your mom will be so proud of ya.
- My arm hurts.
- Come on, Andy.
Come on.
(grunting)
That's it.
You can do it.
I know you can do it.
Now, come on, you walk to me.
(grunting)
Andy, get up and walk to me now.
- I can't.
You're crazy.
- Yes, you can.
Now, you get right up.
You get up.
- I can't.
Stop it!
- Yes, you can!
You just don't want to, do you?
- No, I can't, I can't, I can't!
(grunting)
- Here and stop that
damn whining.
- And Beth has two kids
right around Andy's age.
We just moved into a big
house with a huge backyard.
It's a great neighborhood
with lots of kids
and there's a great school
with an advanced program
for gifted children.
It's prefect for Andy.
- We would love to have
Andy for the summer.
He'd be really comfortable.
He gets along great
with my kids.
- I appreciate that Beth.
I really do,
but I want Andy to stay with us
and I'm not so sure--
- [Steve] Look, Christine.
Andy's mentioned a
couple of times
that he'd like to go to
this advanced computer class
at summer school.
- [Christine] I know.
- Well, it starts next week.
And he also mentioned he'd
like to spend some time
with me and my new family,
just on a trial basis.
He can come back any
time he wants to.
Just give it a chance.
- Chance for what?
Andy's very happy here.
This is a family.
- Look, Keith, I'm sure
you're a good man,
but a boy needs his father
and I am his father.
Just give me a chance to
take care of him,
to be close to him for a while.
- Look, Steve, I can't
promise you anything,
but we'll think it over.
- I honestly don't see what
there is to think over.
Andy's very special to us
and we certainly don't
want him to leave,
even for a summer.
Just can't break up the family.
This is a very happy home
and you already have a family.
- Just talk to Andy.
Let him decide.
Whatever he wants,
that's fine with us.
- I'll talk to him.
- And I'll certainly
stand by Andy's wishes,
but you're going to be
disappointed.
(ominous orchestral music)
Andy's home is with us.
He wants to be here.
- [Andy] I'm sure gonna
miss you, mom.
- You absolutely sure
you wanna go.
- You know I really wanna
go to that special school.
- Mm-hmm.
- Take the computer course.
I really like Beth's kids.
- What about your dad?
(ominous orchestral music)
- Well, he really seems to
wanna spend some time with me.
I'd like that.
- Well, I just want
you to be happy, honey.
- I can call you any
time I want?
- Oh, of course you can,
sweetheart
and we'll come up and
see you a lot.
- I don't see why we're
even having this discussion.
It sounds like you're
encouraging him to go.
I can't believe it.
- Keith, I just want
Andy to feel comfortable
making up his own mind.
- Well, what's there to
make up your mind about?
You like it here, don't you,
slugger?
With your mom and me?
We go on picnics and
I take you go-carting.
I know you like that.
We build these models together
and we're gonna go camping
and fishing this summer.
Do you remember?
- I don't wanna go fishing.
- We can do other father,
son stuff.
Andy, we're a team, me and you.
- [Christine] Keith,
what are you--
- Christine!
He needs to consider this
very carefully.
Andy, you're gonna be
more than four hours away.
That's very far.
You're not gonna be able to
see us as often as you think.
You're gonna get homesick and
you're gonna miss us a lot,
your mom and me.
- Keith, that's enough.
(sighing)
- And what if your daddy
doesn't give you the attention
that I do?
And what if he's careless again
and you get into
another accident?
What happens to you then?
- Keith, that's enough!
(ominous orchestral music)
Stop it.
What's gotten into you?
- He's my daddy.
He loves me.
I wanna be with him.
- This is your home.
I am your daddy now.
- He's my real daddy.
I wanna be with him.
(ominous orchestral music)
- They won't listen!
(ominous orchestral music)
"He's my real daddy, I
wanna be with him."
Be with him?
Well, how 'bout me, huh?
How' bout me?
Who am I here?
Who am I here?
Who?
She told him he could go.
She told him.
She practically
encouraged him to go.
And now he's going,
he's going, he's going.
He's going!
(dramatic orchestral music)
- Mr. Grant.
I'm Jennifer Ashley.
I called about your
cottage in the ad.
- Oh.
Nice to meet you.
Please, call me Keith.
Are you new in town?
- Mm-hmm.
We got here last week.
We've been staying at
the Deer View Inn
while we've been
looking for a home.
Would you have time to
show it to us now?
- Yeah, sure.
Just let me clear it
with the boss.
That's a fine-lookin' boy.
- Oh, this is my son Nicky.
Say hello to Keith, sweetheart.
- Hi.
- Hi, Nicky.
Please.
- Okay, thank you.
- I'm gonna take my
lunch break now
and show my cottage to
these nice folks.
- You make sure you show
it to her real good.
You know what I mean, Keithy?
(finger popping)
(whistling)
(light orchestral music)
- I just love it.
It's exactly what
we're looking for.
Fresh air, peace and quiet.
And that flower bed is
so incredible.
You must really have
a green thumb.
- Well, I use a
special fertilizer.
- Why do you wanna give
up this great place?
- Well, I just moved into town,
but I have five months
left on my lease.
Now, is it just you and
the boy moving in?
- Yes, just the two of us.
My husband passed
away last year.
- Oh, I'm so sorry.
You know, I don't mean to pry.
- No, it's okay.
We can't live in the past.
- Quite right.
- Yes.
- Can we live here, mom?
Can we?
Please.
- Can we?
- The place is yours.
- Well, ready to go.
- He'll be fine.
I promise.
We'll take really
good care of him.
- I know you will.
You be a good boy, Andy.
- I'll call you as soon
as I get there.
- You and Keith come
visit any time you want.
- Yeah, we mean that.
Don't be strangers.
- Thank you.
I'll see you in two weeks.
(ominous orchestral music)
- Okay, gang.
Let's hit the trail.
- [Kids] Yeah!
- I love you, mom.
I'll call you every day.
- Me too.
I love you very much, Andy.
- [Steve] Here we go.
- [Kids] Happy trails!
Bye, bye!
(horn honking)
- [Andy] Bye, mom.
(sniffling)
(ominous orchestral music)
(light orchestral music)
- Yeah!
- Bring it over here.
You stay there.
Ready?
Hut one, hut two, hike!
(laughing)
- Yeah, yeah!
- Let's go.
You better run.
(grunting)
Hand off.
(laughing)
(grunting)
(laughing)
Gonna tickle you.
(laughing)
- [Father] Hello there.
(ominous orchestral music)
- Father Brennan.
We were just talking about
putting in some new yard
with some flowers in it,
when Andy, Nicky here,
brought out the old pigskin.
- [Father] Uh-huh.
(laughing)
- This is Father Brennan
of St. Joseph's church.
- Hi, Jennifer Ashley.
Pleased to meet you.
- [Father] How do you do?
- This is my son, Nicky.
- Hi there, young man.
- [Nicky] Hi, Father.
- You know, in my younger days.
I caught a lot of great
passes at Notre Dame.
- Wow, you played
for Notre Dame?
- Sure did, young man.
I'll give you some
pointers later one.
I just came out to say hello.
I heard you were new in
the neighborhood
and I wanted to invite
you and your son
to mass on Sunday.
- Oh, well, we'd love to.
Thank you.
- I, do--
- Would you like a cup of coffee
and some freshly-baked muffins?
- That sounds very nice.
- I, uh, I better get
back to work.
Mr. Thompson's probably
wondering where I am.
We'll talk later about
the plants, okay?
You know, I've got some great
ideas for the landscaping.
Oh.
(ominous orchestral music)
Nice to see you, Father Brennan.
- Good to see you, Keith.
- And the laparoscopy confirmed
that your blockage is in
both of your fallopian tubes.
Now, surgery is possible,
but there is no guarantee
you'll be able to get
pregnant after that.
- But this is a simple
operation, isn't it?
- Yes, but the percentages
aren't in here favor
because of the--
- What does this mean exactly?
Can she have a baby or not?
- In my opinion, it's out
of the question.
I'm sorry.
Look, I understand if you'd
like to get a second opinion.
And there is always adoption.
- Let's go.
(ominous orchestral music)
(laughing)
- Watch out!
(tires screeching)
(horn honking)
- You idiot!
What's wrong with you?
Didn't you see the stoplight,
you moron?
(horn honking)
(ominous orchestral music)
- All I want is a family!
Daddy needs a family!
It was perfect and then
he had to leave.
She encouraged it.
She encourage him to go.
Why don't they ever let
me do it right?
(grand orchestral music)
- [Announcer] With
Lauren Sutliffe,
on location reporter
for Crime Search.
- Steve, dinner's ready.
- [Announcer] USA.
- [Girl] You can't catch
me, you can't catch me.
- At the top of our weekly
crime search most wanted list
is the family serial killer,
so named
because he seeks out and
marries single mothers
with one child and then
inexplicably kills them
in cold blood.
- Andy, come on.
- Authorities nation-wide
were shocked when this man
escaped a second time
from this seemingly
impregnable fortress.
I'm standing outside
the gates of the
Puget Sound Institute For
The Criminally Insane,
where he brutally murdered
a hospital administrator.
- Andy, come on, son
it's time to eat.
- Just a second, dad.
- And in this second shocking
escape, just nine months ago,
he savagely killed three
more security guards.
Police, nation-wide
have absolutely no clues
as to his whereabouts.
Here's the most
recent photograph
of the family serial killer.
If you see this man,
contact your local
authorities immediately.
He's considered
extremely dangerous.
- [Steve] Andy, well come on.
- Just a second, dad.
- The family serial killer
has a long list of aliases
and even longer list of grieving
families left in his wake,
which makes this grizzly
story even more chilling.
This is Lauren Sutliffe,
reporting on location
for Crime Search USA.
(grand orchestral music)
(light orchestral music)
- Gravy, honey?
- Oh, no thanks.
Boy, that new case
on television.
Wow, really weird.
I gotta start a new file.
- Wonder how the FBI ever
got along without ya, Andy.
(laughing)
(romantic orchestral music)
- Do you know how long
it's been since I've been
with a man like this?
- How long?
- Since before Nicky's
father got sick.
Almost two years.
That's too long.
- We better slow down.
- Why, what's the matter?
- Well, let's just go slow.
It's more romantic.
- Keith Grant, you're
the most amazing man.
I feel like I could be
with you like this forever.
(door creaking)
- It's late.
- Oh, thought you were asleep.
- Yeah, I had to finish up
some work at the nursery.
- I called.
There was no answer.
- I let it ring.
See, we never answer it
after we close.
- I made an appointment
with Father Brennan.
- What for?
- To talk.
You know, we've been
married six weeks now and
something's changed between us.
- I don't see why we have
to talk to Father Brennan.
- It's important to me
that you be there, Keith.
He wants us to go to confession.
(dramatic orchestral music)
(shower running)
(motor whirring)
- I'll shovel, lover boy.
- You okay?
- Level it out.
I know what's going on,
you know?
(ominous orchestral music)
- What?
- You and the babe you
rented your house to.
I know what's going on.
- I don't know what
you're talking about.
- I was driving past your
old place last night,
coming home from the bar
and guess what I saw, huh?
- I don't know.
What did you see?
- Why, I saw my truck
parked in her driveway.
So, I says to myself, "Self,
"what's my truck doing
parked at the Fox's place
"late at night, when it's
supposed to be
"in your driveway?"
Now I'm getting real curious.
So, I hop out of my car
and I take a look
through the window.
And I take a real long look
and guess what I saw, Keithy?
You, rolling around on the
floor with her,
while your little wife was
at home waiting for ya,
mister I believe in the
family bullshit.
- No, no, you are completely
wrong, Mr. Thompson.
It's not what you think.
You have no idea how
important my family is to me.
- You're full of crap.
(rake thudding)
(intense orchestral music)
(screaming)
- Silence is golden, Mr.
Thompson.
(screaming)
(rake thudding)
(choking)
(phone ringing)
Thompson's nursery.
No, I'm sorry, he's not.
Actually, he won't be
back for quite a while.
He had to go back east on
family business.
I'm Keith, the new manager.
Sure, come on in.
I'll be happy to show you
what we've got.
Bye bye.
(phone hanging up)
Well, business is
picking up already.
- And authorities have
finally come up
with their first solid
lead on the escaped
family serial killer.
This is an update on the
story we reported
on last week's show.
(light orchestral music)
I'm standing in the actual room
in which authorities
believe the wanted killer
had plastic surgery and
then murdered the physician
at least nine months ago.
The victim has been identified
as a discredited
plastic surgeon,
who had been arrested in
two other states
for operating a medical
practice without a license.
The police crime lab has
positively matched fingerprints
found here with those of the
escaped family serial killer.
I'm speaking with police
pathologist, Dr. Laerson.
What type of after
effects would you see
following plastic surgery?
- In most cases, there
are very subtle scars
behind the ears, above
the hairline,
and in the facial creases.
Ordinarily, these scars are
visible for a year or more
after surgery.
- Thank you.
However the fact that he most
probably had plastic surgery,
makes his capture all the
more difficult.
Again, here is the most
recent photograph
of the family serial killer.
If you see this man,
contact you local
authorities immediately.
He's considered
extremely dangerous.
(door opening)
- Hi, dad.
- Andy, you're supposed
to be sound asleep, son.
- [Lauren] Reporting
live on location--
- Sorry, I got a new
case to work on.
- Of the family serial killer,
this is Lauren Sutliffe
for Crime Search USA.
(TV clicking off)
- Now will you go to bed?
- This is an amazing case.
- Yeah.
(light orchestral music)
Hope this kind of stuff
doesn't give you nightmares.
Now you think you can
wait till morning
to catch the bad guys?
- Dad, we detectives
never sleep.
(laughing)
- Sure is great having you here,
son.
In all that time we were
apart, I really did miss you.
- I missed you too, dad.
- Sweet dream, buddy.
(door closing)
(ominous orchestral music)
(sighing)
- Bless me, Father, for
I have signed.
- And how long has it been
since your last confession,
my son?
- A few months, Father.
I have a few things to confess.
I didn't report a cash
purchase at my job
just before my boss
left on a long vacation.
- And what else?
- I parked my truck twice
in a handicapped zone.
- Is there anything in
your personal life
that you wish to discuss?
- No, I'm a happy family man.
- [Father] Tell me where
you're from, my son.
- St. Louis.
- Have you ever been
married before?
(ominous orchestral music)
- Of course not.
- [Father] Have you ever
been unfaithful to your wife?
- Absolutely not.
I don't understand this
line of questioning, Father.
I came to confess my sins,
not to be interrogated.
- Your penance is one act
of contrition,
five our fathers, and
five hail Marys.
Go in peace, my son.
(window sliding)
(sighing)
(laughing)
(light orchestral music)
- Vroom, vroom.
- He just loves that
plane you got him.
This is the happiest day
he's had in a very long time.
- Well, there's many more
where that came from.
He's a fine boy.
- Keith?
- Hmm?
- Move in with us, me and Nicky.
We'd be so happy together.
- I don't think I could do that,
Jennifer.
- Why not may I ask?
- Because I don't think it's
right to live with a woman
out of wedlock.
- I'd make a terrific wife.
I love you, Keith.
Keith?
- I'm flattered, but I'd need
some time to think about it.
- And you would be a
terrific father.
You and Nicky get
along so great.
- He's a wonderful boy.
- Then say yes.
- We'd have to move out
of Deer View.
- Why?
We love it here?
- I'd need a higher paying
job to support you and Nicky.
And anyway, I don't like
working at that nursery
with Mr. Thompson.
I wanna get back to my
old job in real estate.
- Does that mean yes?
- Not yet, Jenny.
But if we're going to
be a family,
it's important to have a
new beginning.
(tires screeching)
(ominous orchestral music)
- Andy's back.
He got homesick and
wanted to be with us.
Steve brought him back
this afternoon.
He's back, Keith.
We're a family again.
Just like you wanted.
- That's great.
It's gonna be great
having Nicky home.
- Nicky?
Who's Nicky?
- Wait a minute.
Hold on here.
I'm sorry.
I was so excited to see him
I forgot what I was thinking.
Of course, I know it's Andy.
Yeah, I'm gonna go chop
some firewood.
We're gonna have some
marshmallows tomorrow night.
Andy's back.
(light orchestral music)
- And in your homeroom,
you'll have your own cubby
and that's where all the boys
and girls keep their jackets
and their lunchboxes.
Oh, and see all these drawings
here on the wall, hmm?
That's some of the work from
the arts and crafts class.
Would you like to have one
of your drawings on the wall?
- [Nicky] Yes.
(ominous orchestral music)
- [Christine] And you're
a single mother?
- Yes.
- And your son's name
is Nicholas.
- Yes, we call him Nicky.
- Nicky?
- Yes.
- Would you excuse me?
- Of course.
(ominous orchestral music)
School will be great for Nicky.
Finally he'll have some
children to play with.
There are no kids out
where we are.
- Where did you say
you were living?
- We rented a cute
cottage out at the end
of Harrelsburg Road.
It's just a few miles
out of Deer View.
- I think I know that area.
(light orchestral music)

(keyboard clicking)

(ominous orchestral music)
(low rumbling)
(door closing)
(sighing)
- [Father] Andy, this is
the most preposterous thing
I've ever seen.
- Look, same weight,
same height.
- They don't look
anything like each other.
- He had plastic surgery.
I saw the scars behind his ears.
Here's the story on TV.
Look, they found finger prints
where he killed the
plastic surgeon.
If we can somehow get
Keith's fingerprints.
- Andy, now you're
taking this too far
and it's gotta stop right now.
- Father Brennan, this is
why I came home,
to protect my mother.
If I'm right...
Did you check all
those Keith Grants
in Charleston and Louisville?
- Mm-hmm, yes I did and
they all still live there.
- Wow, great.
Why didn't you tell me?
- And later on he told me that
he was from St. Louis, hmm.
- So, what about that?
- Well, I suppose, if I
don't help you with this,
you'll probably do it
by yourself.
- That's right.
- Well, if this is what it
takes to prove your wrong,
Andy boy, then I'll help.
(light orchestral music)
- Thanks.
- You're not welcome.
Now, let's see this.
(ominous orchestral music)
- You just go and invite
him to dinner.
You don't even ask me?
- I thought you like
Father Brennan.
What is the big deal anyway?
- Maybe I had other plans,
like taking you and Andy out.
- Well, you didn't say anything.
We can go out tomorrow
night if you'd like.
Besides, I didn't invite
Father Brennan for dinner.
Andy did.
They're friends, remember?
(knife chopping)
Do you know a woman named
Jennifer Ashley?
- No, why do you ask?
- She enrolled her son
at school today.
Just moved into town.
- Never heard of her.
(light orchestral music)
- [Father] That was a great
dinner, as usual, Christine.
You're a five-star cook.
- Oh, you say that to everyone.
(laughing)
- How else would I get so
many free meals?
(laughing)
- Say, did you hear they
caught the Grady bandit
after she tried to hold
up the Texas Prairie bank?
- Well, I'm afraid most
of us don't keep up
with things like that, Andy.
Father?
- Sure.
Thank you.
- It took 'em two years
to finally catch her.
- Hmm.
- Andy, I'll never understand
why you're not interested
in the same things
as other kids.
Here, let me help you.
- So, I heard you have Mrs.
Jacobs for math this year.
- Yeah, she's probably
150 years old.
(suspenseful orchestral music)
She's never even heard
of new calculus texts.
Check for fingerprints.
- [Father] Well, a lot of
your classmates
haven't either, Andy.
- Have some pie and ice cream,
Father.
- Oh, I may burst.
- Come on.
- But I how can I resist?
(laughing)
Thank you.
- Andy?
- Thanks.
(light orchestral music)
- Dinner was great, Christine.
I won't need to eat for a week.
(laughing)
- Thank you so much for coming,
Father.
- It was a pleasure to have you,
Father.
- Thank you, Keith.
- See you tomorrow in
the rec room.
- See you, Andy boy.
- [Christine] Bye bye.
Drive safe.
- Oh, I almost forgot.
It was pretty cold out tonight
and I didn't turn the
heaters on at the nursery.
The plants might freeze.
- Do you want me to go with you?
- Well, no, that's all right,
honey.
Why don't you stay with Andy.
I'll be right back.

(light orchestral music)
- Hi, honey.
I was in the neighborhood
and I just decided
to come in and say hello.
- It's nice to see you,
Jennifer,
but I'm pretty busy.
- What happened to your hand?
- Oh, it's nothing.
So, what's on your mind?
- Well, I was just wondering
whether you'd given
any more thought to moving
in with me and Nicky.
- Well, to tell you the truth,
I haven't had much time to
think about it.
- I don't understand, Keith.
Is there something you're
not telling me?
Why are you acting so strange?
- Maybe we need some time
to rethink this whole thing,
you know?
There are just some
complications I need to work
out.
You know, I don't take
marriage lightly.
You must understand that.
- Keith, I am not
waiting forever.
With you or without you,
I want to make a life
for Nicky and myself
here in Deer View.
- No, no, no, no, I
couldn't handle that.
Not in the same town.
Please, no more pressure.
I told you, I need
some more time.
(ominous orchestral music)
- Well, I'm sorry, but you've
just about run out of time.
- Very nice, don't you think?
- Oh, ladies.
Let me know if you
need any help.
(keyboard clicking)
(light orchestral music)
(knocking on door)
(video game beeping)
- Come in.
- Hi, Andy.
What ya doing?
- Oh, nothing.
Just playing a
little video game.
- Andy,
I need you to be as strong
as a little boy can be.
- What's up?
- I've got some sad news.
- What?
- Father Brennan died.
(dramatic orchestral music)
He was in a terrible
car accident last night.
Isn't that terrible?
I can't tell you how sorry I am,
son.
You know, Andy, I've
been thinking.
You spend far too much time
fooling around with
this computer.
You should be outside,
having fun,
like other normal boys your age.
(cable unplugging)
Let's try to be better friends.
I wanna spend more time
with you, slugger.
Why don't we make a fresh
start, just forget the past?
(computer powering off)
What do ya say?
(crying)
(sniffling)
Good morning, family.
Do you know what today is?
Anybody wanna guess?
It's Father's Day.
So, happy Father's Day to me.
(ominous orchestral music)
- Who among us can unravel
the mysterious fabric of life
and death?
Heavenly father, we ask you
to accept our good friend
and shepherd, Ernest
Thomas Brennan,
into your beloved arms.
And now, Andy Davis, who
was one of Father Brennan's
closest friends, would
like to say a few words.
- I just wanted to
say thank you,
my friend.
All the times you played
with me and made me laugh.
You were always there
when I needed you.
You were like a father to me.
I miss you.
I love you, Father Brennan.
Goodbye.
(crying)
(ominous orchestral music)
- [Priest] Our father,
who art in heaven.
- I'm gonna take a little walk.
This is getting too upsetting.
- [Priest] Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy
will be done,
on Earth as it is in heaven.
Amen.
- [Group] Amen.
- Amen.
Okay?
- Hmm?
- I'll meet you back at the car.
Okay?
(ominous orchestral music)
Jennifer?
- [Jennifer] Oh, hi.
- [Christine] Hi.
- It's terrible about
Father Brennan, isn't it?
- Oh, it's a great loss.
He was very dear to our family.
- Oh, I'm so sorry.
- I was wondering if I could
talk to you about something.
- Oh, is it about Nicky?
He says he loves school.
- Oh, no.
He's doing just fine.
He's a great little boy.
- Oh, good.
- Uh.
It's a little awkward.
Maybe now's not the right time.
- Well, why don't I invite
you to my home.
I'm practically a
recluse out there
and I'd love the company.
- Okay, later on this evening?
- Oh, that would be great.
Nicky's got a Cub Scout meeting,
so we'd have time to
relax a little bit.
- About eight, 8:30?
- That'd be perfect.
Let me just give you directions.
I'm the last house at the
end of Harrelsburg Road.
- I know just where it is.
- Oh, okay.
I'll see you then.
- All right.
- Okay.
- Bye.
- [Keith] So, who's that
woman you were talking with
after the service?
- [Christine] Oh, well
that was Jennifer Ashley.
You know, she enrolled
her son, Nicky, at school.
- [Keith] Oh, yeah, yeah.
So, what did she have to say?
- [Christine] She invited me
to her house tonight to talk.
(ominous orchestral music)
(car door closing)
- Listen, Christine.
I've gotta be alone for a while.
After that funeral, I've
gotta get my mind
off Father Brennan.
I'm gonna go to the
nursery and do some work.
Well, you're going out anyway.
- But it's Sunday, Keith.
- I know, but Mr. Thompson
might be back next week
and I'm behind on my work.
I'll be back to spend time
with Andy before you leave.
Promise.
- Go on inside, okay, honey?
I'll be right there.
- Okay.
- Keith, I can postpone
my talk with Jennifer
until tomorrow if that's
what you want.
- It's all right, we'll
have a late dinner
when you get home tonight.
- Oh, I'll just tell her
to keep it short.
It is a school night anyway.
Look, Keith, I know
Andy's really upset
about Father Brennan's death.
Could you talk to him?
- Don't worry.
I'll be sure to spend some
time with him tonight.
If you need me, call
the nursery.
(ominous orchestral music)
- All right, I'll see you later.
(truck door closing)
- She had to do it.
Can't leave me alone!
Just wanna do it right.
I just wanna do it right,
but they never let me.
(tires screeching)
They make me do it!
(light orchestral music)
(sighing)
- Mom.
Mom, can you hear me?
- Yeah, honey.
What is it?
- Is there anything that you
think is strange about Keith?
- We have to talk about
this now, honey?
- Well, is there anything
that bothers you about him?
- I'll let you know in
a couple of hours, okay?
- How come he's never mentioned
any family or friends?
- I don't know, Sherlock.
What are you getting at?
- You ever asked him about
those scars behind his ears?
- No, I never asked him.
Why?
Come on, Andy.
Out with it, why?
- Well, maybe Keith
isn't who he says he is.
I mean, maybe he's
really someone else.
- Yeah, well, with any luck,
maybe he's really Kevin
Costner or Tom Cruise.
- Come on, mom.
I'm serious.
I'm really worried
about this guy.
- Okay, mister worrywart.
What is it exactly that
you're worried about?
- I'm worried about
him hurting you.
- Oh, Andy.
This is really serious, honey.
I know Keith and I are
having our problems, okay,
but don't you think you're
letting your imagination
a little wild here?
- I meant physically.
(dramatic orchestral music)
- Oh, honey.
What is the matter with you?
Keith has never ever done
anything like that to me ever.
Why, has he ever hurt you,
honey?
Has he ever hurt you?
- No, no, he hasn't.
- Oh, thank God.
(phone ringing)
Hello?
- [Jennifer] Christine,
I'm glad I caught you
before you left.
This is Jennifer.
- Hi, Jennifer.
- [Jennifer] Would it be okay
if we postponed until
tomorrow night?
- Sure.
There's no rush really.
- My boyfriend just called.
He said it was some kind
of an emergency.
- Your boyfriend?
- [Jennifer] Yes, I have
to go meet him right away.
I'm really sorry.
- That's okay.
I understand.
We'll talk tomorrow.
- Thanks.
I'll see you then.
(dial tone humming)
(ominous orchestral music)

Keith?
(ominous orchestral music)
Keith?
Keith?
(owl hooting)
(intense orchestral music)
(water spraying)
Keith?
Keith?
Where are you?
(dog barking)
(intense orchestral music)
Oh, Keith, you scared the
hell out of me.
Why is it so dark in here?
Why are we here at this hour?
- Hi, honey.
I'm glad you were able to
make it on such short notice.
- Oh, well, you said it was
an emergency over the phone.
- Yes, it is.
I have an answer and I needed
to tell you right away.
- I don't understand.
You mean about us
living together?
- Mm-hmm.
I'm afraid the answer is no.
You see, I need to
protect my family.
I can no longer allow
you to endanger them.
- What family?
What are you talking about?
- I have a wonderful family
with a beautiful wife
and a great little boy.
And you have gotten in the way.
- You son of a bitch.
You lying bastard.
(heavy smacking)
(grunting)
(intense orchestral music)
- Are you upset with me,
Jennifer?
(grunting)
What's your hurry, Jen?
You just got here.
(grunting)
Don't worry, sweetheart.
We'll have everything
worked out soon.
(grunting)
(whistling)
(motor whirring)
(ominous orchestral music)
- I'll be right back.
- Mom, please don't go in there.
- Andy, I don't wanna hear
that nonsense again, okay?
But I want you to stay put.
(dog barking)
(machine whirring)
Keith?
Are you there?
(intense orchestral music)
(gasping)
- Hi, honey, what a
pleasant surprise.
- Oh, God, you scared me.
- What are you doing here?
I thought you were
visiting Jennifer.
- I was on my way there,
but I just thought I'd drop by.
So, are you alone?
- Just me and my ficus.
- Whose car is that outside?
- I didn't know there was
a car outside.
- Where is she, Keith?
That's Jennifer's car
outside and you know it.
- Christine, I would
never do anything
to harm our family.
You know that.
Everything is under control,
believe me.
You are my wife and I love you,
so please go home and
I'll meet you there soon.
- I asked you where is she?
(moaning)
(ominous orchestral music)
(sighing)
- Things are getting
very complicated.
- Oh my God.
(screaming)
- I told you it was
under control,
but you wouldn't listen,
would you?
You wouldn't let me fix things,
would you?
(heavy smacking)
(screaming)
(grunting)
(thunder crashing)
(thunder crashing)
(intense orchestral music)
You couldn't leave well
enough alone, could you?
You had to get suspicious.
You had to stop here!
(thunder crashing)
(grunting)
(yelling)
I was handling everything
for our family.
(yelling)
(grunting)
(grunting)
Why didn't you just
let me fix it?
(grunting)
(grunting)
(heavy punching)
(sighing)
(grunting)
Well, ladies, are you
enjoying your talk?
It's girl's night out.

I didn't you were here, son.
What a pleasant surprise.
(ominous orchestral music)
Don't worry, Andy.
I know we can work this out.
After all, father knows best.
(grunting)
Andy, come on.
I knew you could get out
of that chair.
Andy, come on.
(thunder crashing)
Where are you, Andy?
(grunting)
Come on, son.
Don't be afraid.
(whimpering)
Andy, where are you?
Come to daddy.
(whimpering)
Andy, I see you found
your mother's fork.
(thunder crashing)
Come on, Andy.
Don't be afraid.
Just come to daddy.
Come on, slugger.
(grunting)
(screaming)
(machine buzzing)
(triumphant orchestral music)

- Not dead!

- Let go of my son, you bastard!
Let go, let go!
Let go!

(electricity zapping)
(dramatic orchestral music)
- Mom, are you all right?
- Yes, I'm just fine, Andy.
(rain falling)
Let me help you up, okay?
- No, no.
I'm all right.
I can do it.
(gasping)
(crying)
Oh, I love you very much, Andy.
- I love you too, mom.
Happy Father's Day, slugger.
