A Perfect Murder Page #5

lt should appear to be...

...stupid...

...and spur-of-the-moment.

l've always thought that ''bludgeon''

has a spur-of-the-moment sound.

Maybe you could use one of these.

Rifle the jewelry in the bedroom.

Disable the service entrance lock.

Make it look like it was jimmied.

Put the key back under the pipe,

then leave the same way you came in.

And what happens

if the plan goes to hell?

lt won't.

So when is this card game of yours?

-Tomorrow night.

-Tomorrow?

No f***ing way!

A man with your rsum should

come up with an alibi in no time.

A man with my rsum should

take the money and run.

Bet you 400 thousand more you don't.

Yes, l understand that.

But if we can't get numbers

on refugee density...

...then we can't position

the resources to deal with it.

Okay, great. l'll tell her to expect

it later on today. Thank you.

That's not happiness to see me, is it?

Try surprise.

l had an unexpected hole in my schedule

and l thought...

...lunch with my beautiful

wife would be indicated.

But l guess you have other plans.

-What makes you say that?

-You seem in such a hurry.

lt's just errands.

Like shopping for a new wedding ring.

One of the settings felt a bit loose...

...so l just took it in,

but it'll be ready tomorrow.

And what if there were no tomorrow?

What does that mean?

Wouldn't you regret not having

one last lunch with your husband?

Of course.

-Enjoy your meal and bon apptit.

-Thank you very much.

l've got to get back to Francesca

about this weekend. You want to do it?

All right, we'll go out--

l got to break this up.

Excuse me one minute.

Hey, it's David. Leave one.

I'll get back to you.

David, are you there?

He was waiting for me outside...

...to take me to lunch.

I had no idea.

There was nothing I could do.

You know what?

l can't do this anymore.

l've got to tell him tonight.

Hi, l'm here. l'm here.

l'm really sorry.

lt's okay.

He's never done that before.

Something's wrong. He knows.

No, he doesn't.

Don't let your mind

get away from you.

l cannot live like this anymore.

lt's not right. lt's not fair to him.

l've got to tell him.

Tell him what, exactly?

Tell him everything, tonight.

Look...

...we've waited this long.

Let's just hold off another day...

...so we can figure it out together.

You know? So l can help you.

l don't know.

l do.

l do know.

Honey, don't panic.

Good night, Mr. Taylor.

l'm on my way.

Everything's prepared for you.

Give my best to Mrs. Taylor.

So how was the rest of your day?

Fairly brutal.

l'm sorry to hear about that.

l don't want you to go tonight.

What's wrong?

l'd like to talk to you.

lt's too late.

They'll never get anybody to fill in.
