Murder by Numbers Page #5

l can't see his face.

-You really think he's involved?

-l don't know.

But something's not right

with that kid.

Fifteen minutes.

lt doesn't give him enough time.

He has to drive to Covington,

kill her, dump her body, get back.

He'd need at least an hour.

-They questioned me.

-And?

-lt was so cool!

-Did they go for the shoes?

They grabbed it. l was so good.

l really was. Listen.

This can 't be about my shoes.

-Why not?

-Did you find them?

You sure they didn't suspect anything?

You didn't overdo it?

A little bit.

l overdid it a little bit.

You think the person who stole

my shoes committed this murder?

I want you to know

I'm gonna cooperate in any way I can.

Meet me at the bluff tonight.

l can't.

-Why not?

-l have something to do.

-Like what?

-l'll tell you later. l should. . . .

-Know who his father is?

-l wanna search his house.

Lawrence Haywood. He built the mall.

-Big campaign contributor?

-That's right.

And l won't f***

with that guy on this.

l've grown much too fond of my own ass

to do anything that goddamned stupid!

And what is your problem?

Where are you on this, Sam?

-l don't care who his father is.

-l don't mean that.

Do you think we have enough

to go after him?

No. And if we go in too soon,

we could burn the whole case.

Really? And why is that, vice?

No judge would sign a warrant

based on what you have.

Shut up, Swanson!

-This kid with his attitude--

-Attitude isn't a crime.

-lt's an indicator--

-But he doesn't fit the profile.

The profile doesn't fit!

The killer was smart. He didn't drive

to the site, he used Richard's boots. . .

-. . .but the attack was unplanned?

-But if we push too soon--

-Whose case is this?

-Just calm down.

No, l've been trying to find

Olivia's killer, busting my ass--

-Who's Olivia?

-The victim.

-ls this still my case?

-lt's a coordinated effort!

You're getting way too involved

in this, Cassie.

-Cassie!

-What?

-You called her by her first name.

-What?

You said, ""l've been trying

to find Olivia's killer. ""

No, l didn't.

Did l?

You're supposed to be identifying

with the killer, not the victim.

Remember that?

You don 't have any witnesses

or fingerprints or powder burns....

I almost forgot.

Tobias always kept a gun,

right here. Loaded.

Can l come in?

Listen, l'm sorry

l didn't back you up in there.

l'm a big girl.

You said what you thought, right?

-Yes, but--

-Then you did the right thing.

-We can't just bust in there--

-l know. l heard you.

-So can you get out of the way?

-Know what your problem is?

Yeah, you're blocking Matlock.

Out of the way. Please.

l'm trying to apologize here.

All right, apology accepted.

You want to sit down?
