[theme - "hot summer night"]

THEME SONG: I feel thebeat on the street tonight.

The light's so bright andit feels so right tonight.

It's a hot summer night.

And I'm ready tonight.

It's a hot summer night
and it feels so right.

It's a hot summer night
and I'm ready tonight.

It's hot summer night
and it feels so right.

It's hot summer night
and I'm ready tonight.

It's a hot summer night
and it feels so right.

Hot.

[music playing]

WOMAN: You took my
brother's money.

Can't you at least
leave me his memory?

I was his wife.

I like to remember
him on his birthday.

Then go to the bank.

[music playing]

[thunder crashing]

[music playing]

I hate the rain.

Why is everyone else so dry?

Is there some corporate mudroom I don't know about?

Yes, Booker.

It's right next to the roomwhere we hand out the hot cocoa

and warm blankets on cold days.

You know, why don't youand I act like we're married?

You know, basically
ignore each other.

Carissa McKay.

Her fiancee is insured
by Teshima Life.

And he just made her solebeneficiary on a $5 million

life insurance policy.

So we're rooting he
doesn't die, right?

That's where you come in.

She's been married twice before.

Both husbands were
considerably older.

Both husbands were very wealthy.

And they both had large
life insurance policies.

With Teshima?

Fortunately not.

That's what I love aboutinsurance companies--

real respect for the dead.

We're talking about
$5 million here, Booker.

We've taken a lot
of hits lately.

And we don't want
to take another one.

Fine.

What makes you think
we're going to?

Well, both men listed CarissaMcKay as sole beneficiary.

And both men were very deadwithin a year of marrying her.

Cause of death?

Natural causes.

Well, she's
already scored twice,

why doesn't she just retire?

That's for you to find out.

[thunder crashes]

Well, then, getting thereshould be half the fun.

[music playing]

[SINGING] So we could
kiss from the mission.

Roll them out into the lake.

Another night, another mission.

I saw me in your bed.

I saw the big mistake.

Stare in the dark.

Can you see the living?

Reach for the spark.

Can you see the light?

It was like it was
in the beginning.

Down and down,
world without air.

Don't ever see the
devil grinning.

But you can tell he's there.

Love is everywhere.

Stand in the dark.

Can you see the living?

Stare at the spark,
reach into the light.

Lie to yourself.

How much are you giving?

One step away.

One turn of the knife.

[knocking]

The more I look
at her, the more

I get to feeling
something's going on.

I got to get closer.

You can't just walk
into their lives.

I can if I'm invited.

[music playing]

[grunts]

[horns honk]

My purse.

[grunts]

[trash cans clank]

Here you go, man.

It's OK.

Teshima dollars.

He mails us expense money.

Just call it a favor.

OK, go ahead, do it.

Do I have to?

Yeah, yeah, do it.

OK.

Oh, my God.

It was nice.

It was good.

Oh, I really didn't
want to do that.

- Well, I was-- it's OK, really.- OK.

Give me the money
because I feel terrible.

Here.

I'll see you.

Are you all right?

Yeah, I'm taking inventory.

Did you call the cops?

I don't think that's
going to be necessary

because neither one of us reallygot a very good look at him.

Here's your purse.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

I'll see you later.

Hold on.

There must be something
we can do to repay you.

[music playing]

Who are you?

The day shift.

Nice place.

Watch it for me.

This place is incredible.

Try to find craftsmen whocould do this today, hey?

Well, it's a bit overwhelming.

But it's home.

What?

Did you hit the
lottery or something?

Warehousing.

All I do is buy low
everything that doesn't

sell for pennies on the dollar.

Then I just keep
it in my warehouse.

Sooner or later, whatgoes around comes around.

You sell high?

Oh, skateboards, hula
hoops, earth shoes,

watches with hands.

My motto is
everything comes back.

Even Nehru jackets.

Uh.

Where's the rest of the staff.

We haven't had time
to hire them yet.

What with moving into the house,you know, planning the wedding.

Well, I'm pretty
good on my hands.

I know you are.

That's why I hired you.

This kind of house attractsa great deal of attention.

If there were a break
in, I discovered I'm not

quite as young as I used to be.

Oh, well, I understand.

I would be absolutely
devastated if anything

happened to Carissa.

[music playing]

Right over there
is where you're

going to live if you'd like to.- Right there

- Uh, huh.
- Wow.

Look at that.

Now, roses are my hobby.

BOOKER: I wonder how you learnabout something like that.

I still can't
believe that a woman AS

young and beautiful
as that could

fall for an old geezer like me.

Come on, you're not that old.

Dennis, believe me, if thedistance between here and Japan

were as great is that betweenage 36 and 63, none of us

would be driving imports.

How did you meet
her, Mr Wingate?

Oh, Jack, call
me Jack, will you?

OK, Jack.

It was an absolute fluke.

I was having a luncheon meetingwith an associate of mine

and he didn't show up.

So I ordered.

I was hungry, and I was
used to eating alone.

So I looked up from
my menu for a minute.

And there in front of me wasthis absolute apparition,

this angel.

She said incredibly enough,I had been stood up too.

May I join you?

I was a lonely man, Dennis.

I'd been married once,
had a bad divorce.

Carissa was a gift
from God to me.

It was my lucky day.

What happened to the otherguy you were supposed to meet?

Total mix-up.

He thought that he had
had a call canceling.

My secretary doesn't
remember canceling.

Whatever it was a bad day forhim but a good day for me.

La forza del destino,
the force of destiny.

Yeah, destiny.

[music playing]

WOMAN: I told you
not to come out here.

WOMAN 2: I just
want to meet him.

WOMAN: I said no.

WOMAN 2: What is
your my problem?

WOMAN: You're my problem.

WOMAN 2: That's backwards.

WOMAN: It's for your
own good, Taryn.

Now just go back inside.

Why can't you
just leave me alone.

[music playing]

[knocking]

Hey.

CARISSA: I just came
by to see if you

were settled in all right.

Well, I couldn't ask
for more than this.

I'm sorry you had to
see me argue with Taryn.

That seems to be our solemeans of communication lately.

I thought it was just
a cliche that you

only hurt the one you love.

Well, I hear it
happens all the time.

Taryn wanted to come
down and meet you.

Well, that would
have been all right.

No.

I don't think so.

I thought you'd want tounpack and get comfortable.

Well, it doesn't
take me much to unpack.

You see, I just
take my clothes out.

I'll Put it on top ofthe dresser or over here.

We have to be more
orderly than that.

I saw you and Jack
from the garden today.

That's where we're
going to be married.

You can see the
water from there.

Is that important?

The water?

Yeah, it is to me.

Water signifies new beginnings.

Is that something
you have a lot of?

New beginnings?

I've had my share.

Jack's a nice guy.
I like him.

So do I. I don't know
what I'd do without him.

You shouldn't have to
worry about that now.

[music playing]

[boat engine stalling]

Gassed up?

Yeah, I filled
it this afternoon.

Carissa asked me to warm it upand maybe go for a ride later.

Let me try it?

Sounds like it's
not getting gas.

Sure.

Why don't you give it a try?

Engines are kind
of my specialty.

OK.

Let me know if you get
it started, will you?

OK.

[engine starts]

Jack, I got it started.

You can use it i you want.

[engine stalls]

[fire roaring]

[explosion]

The float was plugged.

Can't tell by what.

Must've made a hell of a bang.

Could have been worse.

Charlie, this sort of thingdoesn't happen very often,

does it?

No, sir, no.

Maybe we're not
paying you enough.

Wait till you get my bill.

[music playing]

REVEREND: Jack, would
you repeat after me.

I, Jack--
JACK WINGATE: I, Jack--

REVEREND: Take you, Carissa--

JACK WINGATE: Take
you, Carissa--

REVEREND: To be my
lawful wedded wife.

JACK WINGATE: To be
my lawful wedded wife.

REVEREND: To have and to hold.

JACK WINGATE: To
have and to hold.

REVEREND: To love
and to cherish.

JACK WINGATE: To
love and to cherish.

REVEREND: In sickness
and in health.

JACK WINGATE: In
sickness and in health.

REVEREND: Till death do us part.

JACK WINGATE: Till
death do us part.

[music playing]

TARYN: Find anythinginteresting, let me know.

Hi.

I'm Dennis Cook.

Your parents--

I know.

I heard all about you.

I'm Taryn.

Not part of the
rehearsal, huh?

Nah, I like be spontaneous.

You know, save myself
for the main event.

And when's that?

Next week.

Unless you want to push it up.

I suppose I should thank
you for saving my mom

and stepfather the other night.

I just did what
I had to, you know.

No big deal.

Protecting the weak anddefenseless, that's very noble.

That will come in
handy around here.

Uh-- no.

No.

Your mother know you smokethat stuff in the house, Taryn?

If my mom knew
half of what I did,

she'd never leave me
alone here next week.

Next week?

Honeymoon.

Long walks along the lonelyocean at my mom's beach house.

Hm, she arranged the
whole thing, of course,

picked every detail.

Probably even arranged forthe color of the ocean.

Anyway, it's going
to be party central.

You going to be around?

You're a real bag
of tricks, Taryn.

I have a good teacher.

Best money can buy.

What about your father?

He's dead-- when I was young.

Never knew him.

He loves my mom a lot.

[music playing]

ELAINE: Real estate, stocks,bonds, Carissa is way too rich

to need want Wingate's got.

I don't know, Elaine, Iguess when the food's free,

some people can't stop eating.

Yeah.

Weird part is I
can't find anything

from more than 10 years ago.

BOOKER: Well, listen, we gotto go back further than that.

See what you can get
on her first marriage.

ELAINE: Wait a minute.
What first marriage?

BOOKER: Well, Taryn McKay saidshe never knew her father.

She's about 17.

So there's got to be anotherman we don't know about.

Well, why wouldn't he
show up in the records?

Maybe she changed
her identity.

Um-- like she had to.

You think she's
guilty, don't you?

Or worse.

What could be worse than that?

Maybe instead of
killing men for money,

she kills them
because she likes it.

[music playing]

[SINGING] So we could
kiss from the mission.

Roll them out into the lake.

Another night, another mission.

I saw in your bed.

I saw the big mistake.

Stand in the dark.

Can you see the living?

Reach for the spark.

Can you see the light.

It was like there was
another beginning.

Down and down,
world without air.

Don't ever see the
devil grinning.

You can tell he's there.

Love is everywhere.

Stand in the dark.

Can you see the mirror?

Stand at the spark.

Reach into the light.

Lie to yourself.

How much are you giving?

[gun shots]

Do you shoot skeet?

Not unless they deserve it.

[laughs]

Oh, hey.

Jack wanted me to
check this thing out.

You're good at
that, aren't you?

Checking things out.

That's why I
came to work here.

Well, now that you're here,are you enjoying yourself?

Other than the
boat ride, yeah.

I-- I could get used to it.

Getting used to it is easy.

The hard part is not
taking it for granted.

[electrical zap] Taryn
takes it for granted.

That's why I fear
that someone will

take all this away from her.

Like who?

Oh, there's always someonewho wants what you've got,

someone who's watching
you, following you.

I fought people like
that my whole life,

and I've beaten them
at their own game.

That's great.

Is that something you canstudy up on the library?

There's no need to study.I wrote the book.

I don't read much.

Well, the story
always ends the same.

I find out what the
people will settle for,

and then I give it to them.

Sometimes it's money.

And sometimes it's sex.

Well-- uh-- maybe I can getthe Cliff's Notes on that.

[music playing]

Hey!

I meant to tell
you to be careful.

[music playing]

[crickets chirping]

I've been watching
you, Dennis.

Yeah.

You know what I've seen?

You watching us.

Well, you can't blame me.

No.

It's a pretty interesting place.

Full of secrets.

Yeah, like what?

Did you know that Jackhired a private investigator

to check out my mombefore they were married?

Yeah.

So?

So maybe-- maybe he's lookingfor the same thing we are.

Are we looking for
the same thing?

You tell me.

[music playing]

[door closes]

[music playing]

CARISSA: How dare you
like to me like that.

TARYN: I don't about--

CARISSA: I created this
whole world for you.

Oh, come on, don't--

Why don't you
tell your daughter

where you've been this morning?

She was with me.

We were up all night talking.

Friendship.

Friendship, that's
the name of the rose.

My favorite rose.

It's nice.

Beautiful.

Jack, my name's
not Dennis Cook.

It's Dennis Booker.

I'm an investigator for
the company that holds

your life insurance policy.

How much do you know
about your wife?

Ah, this is about my wife'sformer husbands, isn't it?

You know?

I'm not a fool.

I had a man check into her past.

Yeah, and the guy's dead.

Look-- uh-- I think you
better leave until I

get things straightened out.

What the devil are
you talking about?

I think Carissa killed
her first two husbands.

And I think she
wants to kill you.

The investigator was
killed with a 22.

Carissa owns at 22.

I saw it.

I gave it to her
for her protection.

JACK WINGATE: I had
received some threats.

I reported it to the police.

And they said there
wasn't anything

they could do about it.

Jack, she was outside theoffice when I found the body.

Then where are the police?

I don't have
enough evidence yet.

But I know what I saw.

And I know Carissa.

Jack, you're
making a big mistake.

Thank God it is my
mistake to make, Dennis,

or whatever your name is.

Now, I don't want you tomention this to me again.

And I don't want you talking
about it to my family.

It's time for you to leave.

[music playing]

BOOKER: Come on, Doug,
just give it to me.

How do I know you're going tobe responsible with this stuff?

What do you mean?I called 9-1-1, didn't I?

Oh, yeah, I heard the tape.

You disguised your
voice really well.

This is the evidence fromthe office of a dead man.

I'll give it back.

I want to know what
you going to do with it.

Carissa's first husband,I figured she aced him.

I can prove it.
Case closed.

Oh, I got some bad
news for you, buddy.

He's alive.

Name's Frank Patterson.

By the way, have
this back by tomorrow

or I'll hit you for free.

He's lying.

FRANK: Sandy, that's
her real name.

We used to live right up there.

Yeah.

$100 a month.

And that was really
stretching it back then.

But when you're in love.

What happened, Frank?

I took a job summer beforecollege, working construction,

fell off some steel beamsand broke my leg, real bad.

The doctor said I'd
never walk again.

Well, I'm proven him wrongon that count, didn't I?

Oh, yeah.

Football, no way.

State let me keep
my scholarship.

But I had done my best
thinking onto the field.

About then Sandy got pregnant.

It was a bad time, man.

I was back in construction.

But it seemed like I didmore drinking than working.

Uh-- the girl, it was Taryn?

Only we named her Margaret.

Yeah

Man, was she beautiful.

I don't know.

I guess it wasn't ready for it.

Drinking got worse.

I hardly ever came home.

And when I did--

What, Frank?

Sometimes I hit Sandy, a lot.

So she left?

Said she wanted what
was best for Margaret.

And I wasn't it.

I don't blame her.

Hell, I'm just surprised
she didn't leave sooner.

Have you seen her since?

That's the funny thing.

I didn't expect to, not
after what I'd done.

But once or twice a year, Iget a money order in the mail.

No return address.

But I know it's from her.

Sandy-- Carissa-- dideverything she could to make

sure our daughter had the best.

Sometimes when you work sohard to leave something behind,

you're afraid to go backto it, even for a minute.

BOOKER: Are you sure?

Jack said he filed the
threats with the police.

Yeah, well, he's
definitely lying.

Kind of makes you
wonder, doesn't it?

Is this Wingate Enterprises?

Wingate Enterprises?

Yeah.

It's upstairs.

What?

Upstairs.

BOOKER: Where is everything?

This is everything.

I thought Jack Wingate ranhis business from out of here.

Only time anyone's
ever come around here

is paint them signs onthe door and pay the rent.

And the rent's run out.

Oops, sorry.

You were right, Dennis.

Jack's been running
everything he's got.

Most of its past due.

This guy is busted.

And wait till you
hear this, there's

an insurance policy out onCarissa with another carrier,

$6 million.

WOMAN: Jack?

Yeah, Jack's the beneficiary.

Carissa!

Carissa!

Where are they?

They're gone--
on their honeymoon.

Honeymoon?

The wedding isn't
until next week.

They pushed it up.
Jack insisted.

What's the matter?

I think I just helpedarrange your mother's murder.

You didn't help me.

You didn't tell me
what I want to know.

Why should I help you?

Your mother's
life is in danger.

And I'm supposed
to just believe you?

You've been lying to
me since I got here.

You're just like my mom.

I don't care about you.

And I don't care about her.

Look at me.
Look at me.

You lied to me, too.
- No!

Yeah, you did.

You told me you and your
mother spent the whole

night together and you didn't.

Do you remember that?

We didn't know who you were.

For all we knew you
killed that man and--

And?

I was afraid you were
going to hurt my mom.

I'm sorry.

But I'm not saying all
this lying is right,

but sometimes there's
reasons behind it.

Your mother lied to
you to protect you.

Yeah, from what?

Something she
thought could hurt you.

How do you know?

I talked to someone
today that convinced me.

What about you, Dennis?

Why did you lie?

And how do I know that you'restill not going to hurt her?

I lied to save
someone's life, Taryn.

My mom I was going
to tell me something

today about my father,
but she just couldn't.

Well, if you want to giveher another chance, you've got

gotta help me.

Look, you got to help me.

Hey?

All right?

It's a couple miles up.

The turnoff's by a bunch
of mailboxes, I think.

I haven't been here
in a long time.

When we find an address,we'll call the cops.

Don't be scared.

My mom was scared themoment you came to the house.

I think Jack was
counting on that.

He wanted me to think thatshe was planning to kill him.

What was she
afraid of, Dennis?

Why don't you ask
her when we find her?

Turn here.

Come on.

Stay outside.

They're on the beach.

Call the cops.

[music playing]

I figured it out, Jack.

A little late, isn't it?

A shotgun pellet
to clog the fuel

line, a lie about the threats,and you killed the PI.

You're the black widow, man.

You were going to say youshot her in self-defense.

Yeah, and you're my alibi.

Let her go, Jack.

Don't do it.

[tense music]

[gun shots]

[moans]

[music playing]

[police radio chatter]

I loved him, you know.

I really loved him.

I guess you did.

The others were different.

They were old and alone.

They needed somebody
and I needed money.

It was an exchange.

I never hurt anyone.

I know.

Why didn't you tell
me about my father?

My real father?

What are you afraid of?

How much did you tell her?

He didn't tell me anything.

I want you to tell me.

I just want to know.

I think the more you
tell her about her past,

the more she'll
appreciate the present.

I guess I just didn'twant to lose what we had.

[music playing]

Thank you.

Booker, I've got to check hereI have to sign for $5 million,

the insurance payoff
on one of our clients.

And they tell me you killed him.

Now, you want to
explain this to me?

I don't think I
could if I tried.

[music playing]

Hey, sun's back out.

[music playing]

[theme - "hot summer night"]

THEME SONG: I feel thebeat on the street tonight.

The light's so bright andit feels all right tonight.

It's a hot summer night
and I'm ready tonight.

It's a hot summer night
and it feels so right.

It's a hot summer night.
