The River King Page #4

Are you sure you're allowed

to even talk to me?

What do you mean by that?

Won't your boyfriend

see us together?

Bad girl.

You know,

you'd better watch it.

- He's a monster.

- Who, Harry?

Thought you were smarter

than this, Carlin.

But you're just like

everyone else.

Well, I'd rather be like

everyone else than be like you.

No-one will even sit next

to you, you're so disgusting.

Why don't you wash?

It's pathetic.

Everyone says

you're such a loser.

I didn't mean that.

Yes, you did.

You meant every word.

Maybe we should just not talk

for a while.

For both our sakes.

Maybe we should just...

take a break.

If I thought

he killed himself...

that would be the end.

Damn.

Hi, I'm...

Yeah, we'll take care

of that immediately.

Hello.

I brought you

those photographs you wanted.

Thank you.

I have something else

I'd like to show you.

What, you mean

this smudge here?

Yeah, I just thought

it was weird.

It looks like a face.

Could it be maybe

a mix-up of some sort?

Maybe there was an image

already on the film or...

Like a double exposure?

- Yeah, like a double exposure.

- Maybe.

If it's okay, I'd like to have our

guy at the lab take a look at these.

Of course. Look,

I hope there's some mistake.

I can't get it out

of my head.

It's giving me the creeps.

You don't think

he killed himself, do you?

- What makes you say that?

- Don't know, just sense it.

Let's just say I'm keeping

an open mind. What about you?

I hope not,

for Carlin's sake.

Look, I hope this

isn't inappropriate, but...

how would you feel

about dinner?

No big deal,

just food on a plate.

I'm getting married

on June the 17th.

The Willow Room at The Inn.

Sorry to hear that.

If you can think of anything else

that might be helpful give me a call.

That's my card.

It's got my number right there.

Will do.

Most amateurs use a standard

stop bath in their tank.

If the solution's

too cold...

it can cause the emulsion

to smear or crack...

especially at this time

of year.

You think maybe she made a mistake

when she was developing this?

You should have brought it

to me.

You see that?

What does that

look like to you?

Not much.

It says that there was faecal

matter found in his lungs.

- Are you saying it was human waste?

- Human as can be.

And I remember

when you were Chief...

wasn't there an environmental study

done on the river a couple of years back?

The town put in the strictest

sewage laws in the country.

The folks

over on Main Street...

they had to install

completely new septic tanks.

Cost a fortune.

Been running clean

ever since.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's what I thought.

So, how are you doing anyhow?

How's the leg treating you?
