she saw james alive,

Well, then, somehow-

marsha.

If I didn't believe

she was telling me

the truth,

And she knows it,

I wouldn't be here.

I know, but it's just

all so fantastic.

I mean, how could

such a thing be possible?

I don't know,

But we're certainly

going to try to find out.

However, before I was able

to contact ellen again,

Another bizarre

incident occurred.

That night in carmel,

a salesgirl was closing

her shop for the day.

Millie parks.

Pretty, blond,

in her early twenties,

Was tired after

a full day's work.

She was anxious

to close up,

get into her car,

And drive

the six miles to her home,

A small one-story beach house

on the ocean near big sur.

just my luck, you know.

I'm running late,

trying to make frisco

by 3:
00,

And this happens.

I never would've seen it.

I was so tired,

I was almost

asleep at the wheel.

If that other rig

hadn't come along

in the opposite direction

And given me a blast,

I might never

have seen it.

It's unbelievable.

sheriff, huh?

I suppose he'll wanna

talk to me about it.

All right.

Get a blanket

over that fast.

Hey, come here.

I wanna talk to you

over here.

Gene, mike,

get these spectators

out of here.

Come here.

Is that the way

you found her?

Yeah, but I ain't

seen nobody ever

look like that

After no

car crash, sheriff.

She was, like-

Never mind

what she was.

You just keep shut

on that part of it.

Anybody asks you,

you just found her

dead in the car.

Sheriff, nobody

looks like that after-

I just got through

telling you

I don't want any more

talk about this at all.

Now is that clear?

Yeah, it's clear,

but let me ask you something.

How am I gonna forget

the color of that face?

Help him get on his way,

will ya? Charlie?

Charlie?

I'm putting

the lid on this one.

Nobody talks to anybody

about the condition

of the deceased.

Give me your mic.

This is sheriff hartley.

We have a 946.

Let me talk to the coroner.

Now, you know

where I am if you need me.

Sid.

Ah, can't you ever

be on time?

What've you been

so sour about?

What do you think?

You know, every time

I manage to steal

an afternoon,

Up come

the rain clouds.

Don't know what

you're crying about.

Doesn't look so bad to me.

Well, if I came

from chicago,

It wouldn't look

so bad to me, either.

Hey, what about

the autopsy report?

I didn't get it yet.

Oh, might be ready now.

Why don't I call

the office and find out?

It's gonna take

a couple of minutes.

Why don't

you go get changed?

Unless you wanna

play in those.

Aren't you funny.

I'll meet you

on the first tee.

What'd you get, sid?

Extraordinary case.

I've never

heard of anything
