Dead Silence
(EXCLAIMING)
You fixed it yet?
Just a couple more minutes.
(LAUGHING)
You said that an hour ago.
I promised
to make you dinner, right?
Yeah.
Well, I'm making you
a gourmet dinner.
Trust me.
It'll be worth the wait.
Surrender.
Hmm?
Surrender to the wonders
of takeout.
Oh.
I knew this was coming.
'Cause when your fingers dial
(LISA LAUGHING)
Is that the best
you can come up with?
Yeah.
(DOORBELL BUZZING)
Wow. You are fast.
Who was it?
I don't know.
It doesn't even say
where it's from.
Well, there's
one way to find out.
Oh, Jamie,
you adopted us a baby.
A baby?
Have you seen this thing?
Well, who would send you
a doll?
I have no idea.
JAMIE:
There's no card, no note.
His eyes look so real.
(IN HIGH-PITCHED VOICE) "I don't know
about you, but Lisa's hungry for Chinese."
I think
my wife's gone crazy.
Oh, my God! This reminds me of
that poem from when we were kids.
What poem?
You remember. Come on.
That old ghost story about the
woman who had all those dolls.
"Beware the stare
of Mary Shaw
"She had no children,
only dolls..."
And something,
something scary.
Something, something... Boo!
little too much fun there, Lise.
Oh, baby, I won't let
Thank you. Thank you.
PLAYING ON STEREO)
If you get Jamie to scream,
I'll make sure you get seven minutes
in heaven with my old Barbie. Deal?
(IN HIGH-PITCHED VOICE)
"Yes, Lisa."
God, I'm such a loser.
(GHOSTLY BREATHING)
Good boy.
Jamie?

Baby, I'm back.
(EXCLAIMING)
Lisa! What are you trying
to do? Burn the place down?
Lise?
Oh, Lisa.
LISA:
I'm in here.Dinner in bed again.
(HUMMING)
Lisa!
Yes, Jamie?
What's going on?
LISA:
I have a surprise for you, Jamie.MARY SHAW:
...for you, Jamie.(LISA LAUGHING)
Lisa, this is not funny!
(SIREN WAILING)
You know what it was?
Your mistake?
It was the rose.
Yep. Boy, I'll tell you,
if I had a dollar for every time
some guy gave his wife a rose
on the day that he,
you know...
Like that's an alibi.
Alibi?
I didn't hear you.
Did you say something?
Why would I need an alibi?
I'm sure your lawyer
would want you to have one.
My lawyer?
Yeah.
I mean, the prosecution, they're
going to have your fingerprints,
on your apartment,
and you as the last person
to see your wife alive.
I mean, that's a lot
to go up against.
You think
I killed my wife?
Excuse me?
Do you think
I killed my wife?
No. No, I don't think you did.
I'm just trying
to help your lawyer out.
I mean, he's going to need
something more concrete.
I mean, at least to shift
the suspicion away from you.
Suspicion? I mean, if you
want to talk suspicion,
why don't you start by looking at the
package that turned up on my doorstep?
Oh, yeah.
That package, right.
(CLEARING THROAT)
Let's see. You received
an unmarked package
just moments
before Lisa was killed.
Yeah. A package containing
a ventriloquist dummy.
Ventriloquist dummy. Yeah.
Well, the mystery toy
department is down the hall.
This is
the homicide department.
So unless you can tell me
how some puppet
ties into your wife's murder,
