It was pretty weird.

So that happens, and what,

you're on your way back here,

and you get lost?

Because the boys say you

don't show back up here

for a couple hours.

Yeah, I just sat

in my truck and...

listened to music.

I just needed to decompress

from everything.

That's what I saw

on the general store cameras,

I appreciate

you leveling with me.

Do you know who did it?

Well who's to say?

Some punks with nothing

better to do, I'm sure.

They used to give Ben

grief all the time,

I will talk to them,

to back off.

I mean does this have anything

to do with that girl

who killed herself?

I can't quite understand

how anybody...

could come up with that.

Unless she knew how to slit

her belly clean through...

before she jumped

into the water.

Killed herself?

She was just a townie.

- Crissy Neal.

- Crissy?

Parents died

right outta high school,

she was just a drifter...

no one to care about her.

I mean she had some folks

that she was friends with here

in town, and I liked her

a lot, sweet pea.

Then the L.A. prick shows up,

does what he does to her,

and he stayed here

for a little while.

They're looking for him,

but you know,

L.A.'s a big town.

How long ago...

did it happen?

It's funny

you should ask me that.

Because the answer

is a real pisser.

It was the night after

you showed up here

to come see this place

for the first time.

I mean it was just

a couple months ago

you came here

to look at it, right.

And the boys across the street

said they saw your same truck

in this parking lot...

the day before.

Is that some strange-ass

timing or what?

Did you do it?

Did I do it?

Did you do it?

- Did I do what?

- Ray, did you do it?

- Did I do what, the pig?

- Did you do it?

- Howard?

- Ray, did you do it?

- Did I do...

- Did you do it?

- Did I do what?

- Ray did you do it?

- Did I do what?

- Did you do it?

-Did I do what?

I know you

didn't do it. It's all right.

So you in touch with Ben at all?

No.

Listen Ray, I want you

to give me a shout if you see...

just anyone unusual around here.

Unusual?

So far, just you, Howard.

Come again?

I've never seen anybody

who'd ask for coffee

in this kinda heat.

Well you know,

you keep making it this good...

I might come an awful lot.

Take care of yourself, Ray.

- Hi.

- Hi.

Just one person?

Mm-hmm.

I'll give you...

room three.

Oh,

I really like that end room.

What number is that again?

Ten.

That's right...

Ten's a peach.

I'll take 10.

There you go. Have a good night.

You too.

Oh, and if you need anything...

say...

coffee, or...

just anything,

I'll have a fresh pot

here in the morning.

I know what you need.

- Brochures.
