Original subtitles

Be calm.

Pretend nothing's happening. There must be a way out.

Just relax.

Breathe deeply.

Don't show anything.

Just say you did it to protect yourself.

You did it because you were afraid. Just say it's not what it seems. It wasn't a

mistake.

Stupid, stupid mistake.

Close your eyes. Maybe you'll wake up back home and everything, everything

will be just fine.

Okay, y'all.

Well, there you are, you bad boy.

Hello, Chi-Chi.

Come here.

Excuse me, Stella.

Now, what is this we hear about you doing Miyoko Masushi's eyelids?

You hear nothing, Chi-Chi, and certainly not from me, but you spread it around,

and you will hear from my lawyer, switch your flesh, gray bone and gray bone. You

are the best eyelid man on the West Coast. Now it only stands to reason that

Rumioko is concerned. Excuse me, Chief.

Only if you let me kiss you happy birthday.

Oh, hello, Sheriff.

Hi, Dr. Bernard.

Glad you could come. Thanks. Happy birthday.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Excuse me. Hello, darling. You know Timothy Jacks? Of course.

How do you do? Wayne Hillerson. Of course. I wonder if I could borrow my

wife for just one moment. I'll bring her back.

If you have to. Sure. Excuse us, please. All right.

What is it, darling? Nothing. I want to admire you alone for one moment.

Really?

Now?

Mm-hmm.

Oh, Senator Killian.

Senator.

Delighted. Senator.

Alex. You came.

Senator. Glad you could make it. Daniel, I'd hardly miss the birthday of my

biggest supporter.

Thank you very much.

And you, my dear, are looking glorious.

Please, thank you.

I think you'd like to see Evan Barnes. He's from Minneapolis.

He's very big in oil. Come on over here, Sandra.

Lois was just saying how Baby Lindley and Davis Shuler needed a motel on Route

11 every morning.

Don't believe it, Diane. Baby has a good thing and she knows it. Speaking of good

things, did anybody hear Kyle Rath is back in town?

The wrath of God.

Watch your pants, girls.

I thought you were going to say watch your wives, Min. One and the same.

If you're interested in something slightly less day-class, hey, he's

awfully cute.

The bachelor senator?

Oh, no, no, no, I'll take Kyle. I like that Brutalismo style.

What about you, Alex?

What? Oh, um, I sort of like my husband.

We all sort of like them.

You know what I mean.

I'm faithful to him.

These days.

Did you hear about her prenuptial agreement? No, but... Daniel, excuse me.

Excuse me.

I think everyone's having a good time, don't you? Having a great time.

I'm particularly happy that Senator Kenyon made it.

That Ernie was out of town. I'm glad to see he could make it. What?

What are you doing?

I have a surprise for you. What?

It's under my dress.

Under your dress?

Yeah. What is it, loose thread?

Why don't you take a look?

Good night. Good night. See you again.

Dad, don't forget.

See you next Tuesday. Next Tuesday. Good night, my love.

Happy birthday, darling.

Alex.

Lois. Good night, darling.

The wrath of God? I thought that was very good.

Who is that all about?

Kyle Rath. He's back in town.

Mrs. Cochran. Lovely party, Alexandra.

Thank you so much.

Did you have a good time?

Yes, I had a very good time.

It was a wonderful birthday.

Did you see your present?

I thought the party was the present.

No, on your pillow.

For my new toy.

For my new... Are you my new toy?

Thank you, new toy.

Thank you, that's it.

I realize it's only money, darling, but it's from my account.

I saved up, especially for your birthday. Oh, no, it's incredibly

generous. But what could be better than having you day after day, night after

night?

Happy birthday, sweetie.

Thank you.

You think Killian had a good time, huh?

Mm-hmm.

Good morning, Freddy.

All set?

We're in a hurry, Freddy. Any place will do. Dr. Bernard, you didn't make a

reservation. Freddy!

I'll find you something special. Please. Thank you.

Hello,

Dr. Bernard.

Alex. Hi.

Jay?

What?

What is this?

No idea.

Is this for us, Freddy? Uh-huh.

I don't know. Oh, darling, let's follow it, shall we? Come on.

Wait a minute, what is this? I don't know.

Take a walk on the boardwalk?

Come on, slowpoke, let's go.

Come on, faster.

Wait a minute.

What, honey?

What's this?

What is it?

I'm the foggiest.

Oh, Daniel, look.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

Daniel B., you didn't actually... I did. Don't you like it? Like it? I love it.

My God, I've loved it for over a year. You know that. But you didn't actually

buy it, babe. No, darling, you bought it. I just made up your mind.

Come on, christen it. Then we'll have breakfast on it.

All right. All right.

All right. I christen thee the Daniel B.

All right.

Magnificent. Magnificent.

Can't get over it.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.

Slightly less beautiful in her way than you are in yours.

We're alone, you know, darling.

I know. I'm being old and foolish.

I really can't, baby.

I haven't got time. I've got patients waiting for me.

Come on.

Scott and Zelda would have, wouldn't they? No, yes. No, God.

Oh, gee.

Killian will make his move next election.

Probably as vice president.

And if Wilkes wins, Killian will be in line for press.

Does that mean we'll eat in the White House?

Do you mind your manners?

Can we take home this sugar bowl? No.

The White House.

When I was growing up and where I was growing up, it was a dream.

Someone else's dream.

Well, maybe no longer.

Maybe no longer.

Hey!

Hey, what's going on?

Is something?

Hey, the boat's moving. What's going on, baby? Oh, that. Well, it's your

birthday.

What do you mean it's my birthday? Wait, let me finish.

And Leo and I conspired to give you a day off. Leo? You hired Leo on a day

that I got two chin resections? You're crazy. No, no, no, the nurse canceled

it. She can't... Darling, it's our new boat.

A chance to be alone together before I entertain on it and you get airlifted

over after work in time to say goodnight to the guests.

You're crazy.

You're crazy.

Back to the shower.

My turn next.

And I really like this sailing ensemble.

You got me after, like, jackalot.

Kyle.

Well, we heard you were in town.

Hi, Alex.

Beautiful as ever.

What are you doing here, Kyle?

Captaining the Danby.

Where's Leo?

He's sick. He got the runs.

Is that right?

Well, I suppose those things happen.

Come on up.

It's funny looking at you two stuck down there, like you're in a coffin.

Oh, beautiful day.

Isn't she beautiful?

I mean, isn't she beautiful?

Come on, let's take a look. Excuse us, Kyle.

I know what you're thinking, and you're wrong.

Oh, I just wasn't thinking anything.

I was a little guilty about leaving my patients, that's all.

So, did you hire him?

Of course not.

I didn't even know he was in town until yesterday.

Well, that begs the question, who did hire him?

Ask him. I hired Leo.

I wouldn't have.

I hired Leo, Daniel.

How could you even think after everything I did, the party, the check,

the boat?

How could you think I would... It's so unlikely not to have called to tell us

you couldn't make it.

I'll have a talk with him. Me too. I will too.

You used to be friends with him. Why don't you... Make the best of it?

You should know the answer to that better than anybody.

Maybe I will.

Yeah, maybe I will.

You want me to teach you how to run her?

No, thanks. I'll just watch for a while.

What's what birthday is this?

Fifty-five.

That's the age my father died.

Honey, I barely remember him. You know, big guy, red face.

According to my mother, he drank a bit.

Kyle, let's get something straight. I don't know what you're doing here, but I

want you to stay away from my wife, okay?

It's not part of the job description, doctor.

Well, as we understand that, we'll all have a very good time.

Good times while we're here?

Yeah.

Alex!

What are you doing? Oh, I just want you to share in the fun, sweetheart.

Crossing the equator, right?

I'm sorry, honey.

Sweetheart, I realized it was inappropriate.

It was insensitive.

And I am inordinately, insanely crazy about you.

Mea culpa.

Mea culpa.

Mea culpa.

How about yourself?

We've been getting nothing. This is the three o'clock maritime forecast for the

Pacific Northwest.

Small craft warnings are now in effect from Neah Bay to Coos Bay due to a storm

arriving this afternoon from the Gulf of Alaska.

National Weather Service predicts six to eight foot seas increasing this evening.

Excuse me, sweetheart.

Where are you going?

I'm sorry.

I'm going topside.

Starting to roll a little bit too much. Yeah. Well, it's supposed to be nice

today. Yeah.

We're going to turn around and go in.

I'm going to come about. You want to handle the mainsail?

Yeah, sure.

I want you tight there.

Okay.

Looks like it's going to be more than a small squall.

Didn't anyone say anything on the radio?

We used the engine. We ought to be able to make it.

Think we can outrun it?

We can try. It'll be a couple hours riding a bucking bronco.

I'll never make it. I'll die.

What are our other choices?

Uh, Shellcroft Island.

It's an old lighthouse.

It's only two or three miles.

Okay.

Let's go for it.

Your friend has a gun in his bag.

Good.

Good?

Maybe he'll shoot me and put me out of my misery.

You go on top, sir.

Daniel? Yeah?

Am I still pretty?

Nothing can ever change that.

And if anything ever did, we'd just fix it.

We gonna make it?

Either that or ride it out in open water.

Take the wheel.

I present Dr.

Darman Sy.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I'll get the power line.

Daniel!

Are you alright?

Yeah. Yeah.

I'm alright.

Go ahead.

See if you can get in the lighthouse.

What are you going to do? We're going to rig a storm anchor. She'll rip her guts

out on these timbers, the old Dan B.

What if I can't get in?

Hey, you can do it.

Feeling better, darling?

What's the matter?

Ow! What's your game?

You're hurting me. Why are we out here, Alex?

We're here because there's a storm.

Don't go with me. You really think I didn't know you were sleeping with him?

I may be trusting, but I'm not stupid.

Everyone else did. Why shouldn't I?

Everyone was wrong.

I was a fool to marry someone 20 years younger.

I love you.

Especially one with your sexual appetite.

Husbands like me are inherently ridiculous.

We're no fun.

We're not like Kyle, are we?

We're too structured.

We even make you sign prenuptial agreements telling you how little you

get in case of adultery. Stop it.

Just stop it before it's too late. Those other wives are smart.

They know when to quit.

A little quickie in the afternoon, wham, bam, thank you, young man.

Kyle really hit the jackpot with you.

But then that's not hard to do. You warm up so easily.

Why didn't you just do it on the dock?

You're gonna be so sorry you said all this.

Why are we here, Muffin?

Mind interrupting something?

On the contrary.

Oh.

Great.

The building down below, it's got an emergency phone in it in case anyone

wants to call home.

I said you have to break in if you're with me.

Why, that's the trouble with being a good-time sort of guy. You're always

walking in when people aren't having a good time.

Me, I've got a naturally sunny disposition.

People, you know, regular people.

First, they want to be around you because you make them happy.

What do they say on the radio?

What?

Oh, uh... 40 to 50 knots with gust of 70 out of the Gulf Islands.

Looks like we're gonna be stuck here for a while.

Then when they realize you can have a good time and they can't, things sort of

fall apart.

Something I said?

Something I said.

Yeah, that's what it looked like.

Anybody want any, uh... Salmon?

Caviar?

Foie gras?

Jeez.

It's in food. It's a gourmet catalog.

You know, if it were me... And I realize you haven't asked me.

I'd apologize.

I like that when you humble yourself.

Drives me nuts.

Yeah, cry a little bit. It's absolutely necessary.

I love it when guys cry.

You're quite the philosopher.

I don't know what came over me.

It's almost as if someone else was saying those things.

I don't want to lose you, Alex.

You know how you fear something so much, sometimes you almost bring it home.

Like this? Yeah, even tighter. Hold it like that for ten seconds.

Do four sets a day, and I'll never have to operate.

Someone mind giving me a hand? If you're not too busy.

Sure.

You feel all right?

Yeah.

Did it work?

Everything's just fine.

Yeah, I always found Alex pretty understanding.

When I was separating from Jeannie, women generally find you sympathetic

when you're suffering.

Man, I was angry at everyone.

Mostly women that tell the truth.

Alex really helped me.

I remember all the good talkings she gave me.

Man, of all the people I talked to, you know, Alex was the most understanding.

She's very generous.

Yeah, very.

Get back. Get back, honey.

Get some blankets.

Blankets. Put it on. Good.

Good.

The wind cut the paper.

Good job Yeah Yeah, you

gotta watch the trash trash will catch fire in a window this magnitude

What's

this

What you gonna put down?

Okay, okay, I'll do it.

He went to the zoo one day when his wife... And, uh, I like the giraffe.

Hell of a giraffe.

Wasn't that the day I told you to take some risks, stick your neck in?

It's just part of my philosophy.

You stay in one place all the time, your life just goes... You gotta take some

risks. Will you stop?

Will you please stop?

Just shut up.

Just shut up.

Come on, Dan. We gotta get these windows boarded.

You little bastard.

We'll talk later.

First, let's bang up some boards.

First things first, right, Doc?

Did you let the Coast Guard know we were here?

No. Why?

Why?

You ought to be able to figure that out.

I'll go give them a call.

Thank you.

What are you always writing in that damn book?

Where are you going, love?

Nowhere. I just need to move.

Be careful.

Daniel?

Anybody home?

Somebody here?

Hello?

Where's Dan Boyd?

I don't know. Maybe he took a walk.

He was upset.

Taking the air is a good doctor.

How are you doing?

I guess I pushed it a little down there. I couldn't help myself.

The thought of him putting his hands on you drives me crazy.

He's my husband.

No, don't. No.

Kyle, I need it.

Stop it. Stop it. Kyle.

Please, I don't want to.

I don't want to. I mean it.

Please, no.

You know how long I waited for this.

Damn you. Stop it.

Stop it. Kyle.

I heard you go out. How long have you been back?

You need to come in. I was, um... I guess I was sleeping.

You want some to eat?

No, thank you.

Coast Guard said don't try and look in on us in the morning.

After the neck of the missing boats, some tanker found her off some

shelf.

Didn't want to be them.

We got to try and get some sleep.

I could run for it tomorrow.

I'm obeying my instincts.

My instincts tell me that they were out in this storm all night.

If you don't want to listen, go back upstairs and sleep.

Oh, hello, Amanda.

Amanda, it's Chi-Chi.

Chi-Chi.

Oh, I'm sorry to wake you, dear.

Oh, for heaven's sake.

Un regresado, Los Bernards.

Yes,

I'd like the number of the Coast Guard, please.

Port Angeles, I suppose.

I've never called them before.

Daniel? Daniel?

Want some tea?

Yeah.

Here.

Thank you.

What's it like out?

Same. It's let up a little, I guess.

Did you sleep at all?

Some.

How about you?

I don't know. I must have. I don't remember.

Good morning, campers.

Gail's down.

Here's your tea, Doc.

You've got to get the boat away from the rocks.

Is there any more hot one?

Hey,

it's okay. I'll get them.

Be sure and be careful, darling.

The decks are bound to be slippery. Yeah.

I'm slipping!

Don't take him.

Don't take me.

We didn't need you. I might have let you go.

Get in. I'll push her up.

Don't stop wrong, Doc!

repaid i'm going to secure the gym sheets all right i'll go below and see

if everything's okay

You know how to work a winch motor, Dad?

Yeah, all you do is push a button, right?

Right. Watch yourself on the phone out there. No need to die before your time.

Next time, let me know when you're going to do something like that, will you,

pal?

She's stuck.

How the hell did that happen? I don't know. One man can't do it alone.

Okay, I'm coming.

That's that.

Give me a drink, will you?

The boat's okay?

Oh, yeah, the boat's fine.

That, too.

What do you mean, that, too?

It wasn't pretty, let me tell you.

What?

What wasn't pretty?

Oh, Danny boy.

The pipes, the pipes are calling.

Where's Daniel?

I don't know.

Seriously, Kyle, where is he?

Come on.

I thought I'd come back, you know, we'd spend the day in bed.

For real?

Okay, I don't know where Dan is. Let's do it that way. Let's play hide and seek

and find the old bastard.

What did you do?

What the hell are you talking about?

I don't know.

Maybe you went to bargaining.

You killed him?

Yeah. Of course I killed him. There was a plan, wasn't it?

What?

What is this?

I killed him so we could be together. That's what you wanted, wasn't it?

I won?

Oh, no.

Kyle,

no. People say things in bed.

What?

Don't you look at me like that.

Don't tell me you don't remember.

It's too late for games, Alex. We're past the planning stage.

You wanted him to have an accident, remember?

Yes, of course I remember. I was just startled.

You're hurting me. Don't put me on, man.

I'm not putting you on, Kyle.

Of course I remember.

It's just when I saw online that I... No, of course I want to be with you.

How could I forget?

What do you think I am?

You think I'm a hitman? I mean... I'd sleep with the guy's wife, but I

wouldn't kill him, not for a few measly bucks.

Unless I loved her like I loved you.

When you said, you know, just then, you didn't remember. You scared me.

What kept me going was you and me.

Free of piggy-wiggy down there.

What about this?

What about what?

The wheelbarrow track.

Hard part. See, I had to get him over the rail into the dinghy. I thought

about dropping him, but there wouldn't have been water in his... How are you

going to get rid of it?

What? How are you going to get rid of it?

The rain will cover it.

No.

The rain will just make it a huge rut.

Fine.

Man, just when you think you got it.

You could, uh... You could bring him back.

Back where?

As though he'd fallen. We found him.

We got the wheelbarrow to bring him back.

You mean bring him back to the lighthouse? He was on the same track.

That's incredible.

You're a dead genius.

Almost broke my back wheel on him up there. Hope it's easier getting him

down.

What?

We're up here for me. We are... Ah, cigarette.

Think

you

can make it?

I can rappel down easy enough.

Question is, can we get him back up?

We have no choice but to try, darling.

Did you call me?

Charlie.

Guess I'm gonna have to get used.

Thank you.

You all right?

Yeah, yeah, thanks.

Anyone down here? Yeah.

Are you all right now?

Yeah, yeah.

We got a distress call about your boat.

We can take you off if you're in trouble, but it has to be right now.

We've got calls all up and down the shoreline. No, I can't.

The people I came with are missing on the island. My husband and another man.

Since when?

Huh? Oh, uh...

this morning Do you think we can go up on deck and talk I'm not

feeling very well

We'll

take you back to shore now we can check and see if they've returned man, but we

can't stay

Roll back!

Daniel?

Daniel?

You know where they went, then?

They're gonna collect some wood.

Both of them?

No.

Well, they probably just got turned around.

Shellcroft is shaped like a shell.

It's easy to lose your bearings.

Someone's coming.

Oh, great.

Darren, are you here yet? No. Where were you?

This is Captain Harmalt. Lieutenant.

Oh, hi, Calrath.

We were out gathering wood.

I slipped, almost fell off the cliff.

I dropped my wood.

I figured that's why I ran to get back here.

I'm a mess.

Dan's not here, huh?

When was the last time you saw him?

Oh,

about an hour ago, I think.

We took the wrong path, got lost.

I said I'd race him home. I dropped my wood about a quarter mile back. I wanted

to win.

I thought you said you dropped your wood because you fell.

Yeah.

Both.

Well, we have to leave, ma'am.

Do you want us to take you off?

No, no. Thank you. You've been very kind. I think I'd better wait here for

my husband.

I'll be fine. We'll be fine, really.

Thank you.

Maybe you could stop by on your way back.

I'll try and look in on you sometime this evening.

If he gets back or if it calms down, will you give us a message on your boat

radio?

Okay.

And we'll leave your dinghy tied up at the dock.

Thank you.

You really caught me out there.

I had to admire it.

I almost had a heart attack when I saw that rope go.

I said to myself, bye-bye, Kyle.

I was scared.

Scared?

What were you scared of?

You. I didn't know that you might kill me, too.

I wasn't thinking very clearly, darling.

How are you thinking now, Alex?

Clearly.

You have every right to be suspicious of me.

I wanted to deny everything.

That I had anything to do with Daniels.

I couldn't face it. I'm bad.

When I was on the boat, I was going to tell the Coast Guard that you had... But

I couldn't.

I remembered.

I remembered that I loved you.

I wanted to be free because I loved you.

Take off your pants.

What?

Take off your pants.

That's how we

communicate

best, isn't it, Alex?

I want to believe you.

Make me.

Make me believe you.

We have a little problem here, see?

Carl wants to believe Alex.

Coming.

You know, I was thinking, you ever lived in Florida?

How's your fanny, by the way?

Oh,

better.

Yeah, there's a lot of advantages to living in Florida. One, no one knows us.

Before this whole thing blows over, there's gonna be a storm.

Make this one look like a little breeze.

Mr.

and Mrs. Kyle Rath.

even live on a boat, huh?

Trade up the old Dan B.

Anyway, we can operate out of there.

I'll do a little fishing.

Doesn't matter how much money you got.

Fordham can sit in, right, Alex? Don't smoke in here, okay?

I know it's tough.

You got a whole new set of rules to live by, right?

But that's how it is now with you and me. Joined at the hip.

Right?

No.

No.

I want to hear you say it.

Joined at the hip.

Joined at the hip.

See, because I could go figure it out. I only play dumb.

You didn't tell the Coast Guards on me.

Because you know I'll get the goods on you.

And you're right.

I do.

Kyle has you over a barrel, honey.

Calm down. What are you going to do with that?

Protect myself.

Look, don't get irrational.

No one's threatening you, honey.

You gave me everything I needed.

I knew you would. You're that kind of man.

There's no jury in the world would say you didn't deserve that.

You'll never get to a jury, Kyle.

A jury will never have to waste its time listening to it.

What about me?

I did this for you.

What about all that talk about how you were some rich guy's toy?

What does that make me? A psychopath.

A psychopath.

Me, a psychopath?

Hello?

Hello, can you hear me? Can you hear me? I need help.

Hello?

I can't read you. Oh, God, please send help. The shell croaked on the island.

Please. I can't read you. Is anyone there?

This is Coast Guard Group Port Angeles.

Hello?

Is anyone there?

This is Coast Guard Group Port Angeles.

Hello? I can't read you.

Olly olly and freak!

You.

We up here?

Yes.

Why did you leave this slicker, Alex?

What are you trying to tell me?

What do you want from me?

I want you to leave me alone.

Why? So you can set me up?

I hurt, man.

I hurt bad.

I don't know if I care what you're fighting me.

You can't frame someone for what they did!

You told me to kill him!

You begged me to kill him!

I think I made a mistake.

A man's gotta finish where he starts.

You know the hardest part?

I'll tell you what the hardest part is, Alex.

It's not just the killing that's hard.

I don't know.

Not when it's something that's gotta be done.

killing something you love.

It's killing something so beautiful.

It's just to think about it.

So beautiful.

It's like the stars came out when you see it.

MOTHER!

They make me crazy in the head. Is Mrs. Bernard at home, dear?

Yes, she is taking a bath.

I tell her you come.

Don't look.

Miss Lois and Mrs. Chichi are here to see you, senora.

Tell them I'll be right out.

Hi, it's me.

When?

Good.

When can I see you?

The sooner the better.

I think so.

Are you in there? Honey, are you OK?

Coming.

They're vultures.

That's all they are, horrible, mannerless vultures.

Do you think this will work, Alex?

Maybe, just long enough to give me a head start anyway.

Especially if you go to my car while Chi Chi and I go to yours.

You must have been terrified, you poor darling.

And who would have thought that Kyle was unbelievable? Unbelievable.

Oh.

I'm just so glad that I thought to call.

Thank you.

You know, it's funny, though. I reproach myself for not having called sooner. Oh,

Gigi, no. You did what you could.

If I'd have called sooner, then maybe poor Daniel. No. Shh.

Please.

They're multiplying.

Oh, thanks for helping me out. I've just got to get away from those reporters for

a while.

Bye, Alex.

How long do you think, darling?

Oh, a year.

I think we'll have to wait a year.

He left after the campaign.

It would have been easier if he died, you know, it sounds callous to say it,

but in an auto accident.

I mean, to think of somebody you know being murdered.

That's awful.

When I think how close Rath came to... I don't know what I would have done.

And you didn't actually... Rape me?

No.

Mm-hmm.

What time did he call?

Okay, listen to me, man. If he calls again, tell him I'll be there.

How are you, Mrs. Bernard?

I'm all right. Thank you for bringing the boat in, Sheriff. Oh, don't thank

me. What I know about sailing can be summed up in this.

It's a seasickness patch.

Would you mind coming on board for a minute, Mrs. Bernard? We have the usual

formalities to attend to.

Nice to see you again, Lieutenant.

Thank you for everything.

My pleasure, Mrs. Bernard.

Yeah, let's talk down here and get away from these vultures.

All right.

Do you mind?

No, if you want to.

Thank you.

I don't want to press my luck.

Uh, we just have to sign this, Mrs. Bernard. It's a paper that gives us the

right to hold the boat for a week. It's just a formality, but we gotta do it.

Sure, I understand.

There are death certificates, too.

You're gonna have to look at the bodies.

In one of them, you can't tell too much. Now, I know this is hard for you, but I

thought if we did it here, it would be less of a circus.

Just for curiosity's sake, Mrs. Bernard, when was it that

Rath first tried to rape you?

After he came back, I assume from killing Daniel.

I believe I already told you. And you got away still believing your husband

might be alive?

Yes.

I'm just running down my notes here to make sure I got it straight for the car.

We found her on the boat, Sheriff.

Right.

Right. 2.30 p.m.

2.30 in the afternoon.

Did you know Kyle was back in town before you... before he surprised you on

the boat?

No.

Should I have a lawyer present, Sheriff?

I don't know.

You don't have to answer anything.

Mrs. Bernard, on your First Amendment rights, protecting you from self

-incrimination. There, I said it.

You didn't go back to the boat for any reason, did you, Mrs. Bernard?

No.

And Kyle died in the fire around midnight?

That's right.

You know, Mrs. Bernard, on second thought, maybe

you better not answer any more questions.

Why's that, Sheriff?

Lieutenant Harmore found this right here on this table.

See, we have automatic search rights in cases like this.

I'll read it to you.

Since I think I will be found dead, I wanted known what happened on the Daniel

Bee and afterwards when we disembarked because of the storm.

Kyle Rath killed my husband Daniel on our boat and later threw his body off a

cliff to make it seem like an accident.

He then raped me and tried to... That's where it ends.

Now, by itself, this only confirms what you told us.

But what I don't get is, this letter indicates you knew Kyla killed your

husband before the Coast Guard arrived, yet you didn't tell them.

Why?

Why didn't you tell them, Mrs. Bernard?

Because you ran on it.

It's the only reason I can come up with.

I figure you had a plan to get rid of Kyle, but when the Coast Guard arrived,

he was still around.

And you couldn't tell them he killed your husband because he'd tell them you

were involved.

Lieutenant Harmel said you were very distressed when Kyle barged into the

lighthouse, so maybe you'd already tried to get rid of him by then.

But when he showed up, it was too late to change your story, wasn't it?

You'd already told them one thing.

And you thought it would be smart to let the game just play itself out.

Because by then...

I'm

really sorry, Mrs. Bernard.

I'm really very sorry.

Is she a suspect?

Are you under arrest?
