Small Town Murder Songs Page #3

Synopsis: Walter is the chief of police in a small Ontario town that has its first murder victim, an attractive young woman who is found naked on the shores of the nearby lake. The woman isn't local and while the Ontario Provincial Police have taken the lead in the investigation, Walter assists where he can. The town is mostly a close-knit Mennonite community and Walter has recently returned to his church. He is also trying to deal with his own temper that led to a violent incident some months before. As the young woman is identified, it becomes apparent that Walter's former love interest may be lying.

I.D. on this girl.

Get out there

and ask around.

Where you going?

To ask around.

Her underpants

around her ankles?

I'm afraid so.

Did you pull

them back up?

What?

Her underpants.

Of course not. Why would

I go touching her?

What kind of business

do I have with her underwear?

Its so horrible.

All you men standing around her

poking her

and taking pictures

and she's left

in that kind of state.

Its a police investigation.

And they got to

find evidence

and we can't go

messing with it

just 'cause it makes

us uncomfortable.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry,

its just-

I know you're doing

everything right.

Just feeling so-

God, that poor girl.

I'm sorry

I'm such a crybaby.

Oh no.

Can we have

a moment of prayer?

You want me to put

some coffee on?

That'd be fine.

I'm on track.

I ain't like I was.

Yeah.

Hmm.

Walter, you can't

change who you are.

But you can choose to act

against your impulses.

That's God's gift

to humans.

You need to ask:
what kind

of man do I choose to be?

People will learn

to forgive

once you've chosen to walk

in the shoes of a man.

Thank you,

Deacon.

Sir, were you with

the men that night?

In English please, sir.

Not too fond of

people with guns.

What about you?

Not too fond

about me either.

Yeah, I was with them.

Until what time?

Any of the other men

leave the farm that night?

No.

You sure?

Yeah.

Anyone come around?

Anything out of the ordinary?

Nope.

- Nothing?

All done.

Good.

Call it into Washington.

Fine, we're done.

Hey Sammy, what does it take to

get some creamer around here?

Oh, I swear

this head would pop clean off

if it weren't

attached at the neck.

There you go.

You doin alright?

Oh yeah, it just-

I hear Walter sure got his

work cut out for him, eh?

Oh, I don't know.

Only murder he seen is on

the idiot box, CSI and whatnot.

Don't imagine

he'll be solving much.

I'm sure the OPP'll

do their thing.

Yeah. Nothing.

Ha ha.

I'm just saying them

London cops are much more

interested in cleaning up

their own backyard than ours.

I hear Walter paid

a visit to Rita's

If he did, he did.

Huh. He still

got that temper?

Huh yourself,

Miss Busybody.

I'm just sayin'-

Look what all your

talkin' gets me.

Hey Walter, you caught that

damn killer yet, or what?

Some sweet pie

for a sweet man.

Thank you, Sammy.

Want some more coffee?

No, no.

Thanks, Sammy.

How you

holdin' up, Gretta?

Good, good, Walter,

how 'bout yourself?

You minding everybody else's

business or just mine?

Well, don't say

you wasn't told.

Coroner confirms the girl

was killed around 11 PM

Saturday night by strangulation

and was moved post-mortem,

suggesting she was

in fact dumped.
