As I live and breathe,

You were doing
No sh*t.
Yep.
Okay.
Was that you up at Point
Beach yesterday morning?
Point ain't no dump. Have you
been hauling your trash again?

You want to
dispute it?
You know the number's
on the back.
You know, you no

The stories Rita can tell
after a few drinks - oh!
I'll say "hi"
for you.
New truck?
Few years.
She's a beaut.
So what are you
doing here, Walter?
Just chasing
my tail
That so?
How is he?
Same as ever.
Been trying
real hard.
Can't abide that
kind of violence,
its not
how we was raised.
You made
your bed...
Better tuck in.
Alright.
Heck of a day.
Diner was packed.
All those rural boys up
from Barrie making a fuss.
I was surprised none
of them grabbed my rear,
though I was ready with
a smart come-back if they did.
I can't remember what
I was going to say.
Damm.
Been muttering it to myself all
afternoon, now I can't remember.
It was smart too.
They didn't tip worth a damn.
dollars an hour,
they could spare
a few bucks.
Jim?
Okay.
I'll get a sheet.
Get it around the bend there.
All sorts of stuff down there.
Good day
Seen better.
Yeah, I'm sure. Detective
Dave Washington.
Chief Walter Ruden.
Well.. uh.. Operator got
a call there and ah said
I need to come down here
and I was thinkin'
that it was just
teenagers playing a prank or...
No I.D.?
Nothing.
No purse. No wallet.
Sh*t.
Okay.
You didn't
touch her?
No.
No Sir.
She ain't local.
Are you certain?
We're going to be
here a few days,
can you help us out
with a motel?
Yeah sure.
at the Super 8 there.
She'll help yous out.
I think I seen
Steve Hinden's pickup...
yeah... pulling down that
road a couple days ago.
Jim and I
was up fishing
and then I seen it
drive up and dump something.
What day was this?
Sunday.
Did you get a look
at the driver?
We were a ways out.
License plate?
But you recognize
the truck?
Hinden?
H-I-N-D-E-N?
Yeah,
he's a real S.O.B.
He used to run
pot and coke for the Banditos
before the Renegades
ran them out.
I wouldn't
surprise me none.
Well that ain't much, without
a plate or an I.D.,
from the look of things, I'd
wager she was killed right here.
The pathologist will
determine time and cause,
but if she wasn't local,
pickup could be from anywhere.
You guys handle
the locals here?

Yeah.
That's great.
Yep.

My cousin, Marie,
swell girl, just beautiful.
She had this, this-
It was just- ah.
May 12th they found her.
We were the same age.
Half the town walked in
a line looking for her
over at
Jefferson Beach.
Told us that, you know,
stand arms apart. Walk.
Boy, they was ready to string
up poor Tom thinking he done it.
And we walk for days, it seemed,
until they found her.
Killed.
Did they find who did it?
I don't...
Uh...
Damn coyotes
dragged her off.
Don't think finding them
would have made a uh, uh -
Just the way they is.
Can't be helped.
Should have seen her
hands, though, boy...

There's a girl. She's dead,
M'am, we can
dispatch an ambulance,
but we need an address.
No, no, she don't,
she don't need an ambulance.
Uh - Look, I'm just
telling you that uh he found
her
and that she's just -
and you just got to do
whatever you do...
M'am, I'm going

Lets bring them in.
Sir,
I'd keep your distance.
I'll be fine.
Easy. Hey, hey.
I know, buddy.
I know. Yeah.
Did uh you want
to sit in on this?
Well, no, we got a history, so
you fellows best on your own.
Okay.
Suit yourself.
The whole night?
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
Rita, I got to
tell you that um
any false information
you provide-
No, I get it.
I get it-
Its a criminal offence.
Yeah. Look, he was home
with me. Okay? I swear.
Anyone else
see you at all?
I sure damn hope not.
That would have...
Cross my heart, pinky swear.
He was with me.
You just sounded pretty
distressed in the 9-1-1 call.
I thought-
He found a dead,
naked girl by the lake.
Yeah, I was distressed.
F***ing a**hole.
Sorry?
A**hole.
Nothin'?
Nope.
Frustrating, huh?
Figurin'
