这就是 Are the inspiration for the willow grove knitting society.
至于我其他的特点 As to my other characters --
我很尴尬的说出来 I'm a little embarrassed to say this --
哦 我还是一个小孩子 Um, ever since i was a little kid,
这些话一直在我脑海里 所有的 I had these voices in my head -- all kinds --
男人 女人 老人 年轻人 Men, women, old, young,
这就是我从未见过的人神秘一面 This mysterious corral of people i've never met.
So i was either gonna end up in a padded cell or published --
I laughter ] one or the other.
I think the most important thing about writing
Is that an author knows about human nature --
The contradictions we all have,
The lies we pretend are truths,
The fears that we pretend are strengths,
The greed and revenge that we have
That we don't admit to ourselves.
In my books -- like in my life, i guess --
Logic is king.
Or i guess, in my case, the queen.
I laughter ]
You were wonderful, tess.
Worth every penny. Thank you.
They were all so great, and i sold some books.
Oh, i saw. I chuckles ]
''Kiss of death'' -- that is such a classic, huh?
Richard widmark was in that.
He's my favorite actor.
I fell in love with him when i was a girl
After seeing ''kiss of death.''
He was so powerful, so intense.
I got him to sign this for me -- in person.
He was very old then,
But that's a real signature, not a stamp.
Wow. He was very handsome.
I'll make sure you get all the photos
That were taken today.
Thanks. Now let's get that route for you.
Better a straight shot through robin hood's forest
Than all the way around it.
We'll input stag road and u.s. 4 7.
Oh, b y the way, stag road is very scenic --
Parched asphalt and all that,
But not too bumpy the last time i took it,
And that was in the spring, when the worst bumps show up.
And i hate bumps.
Then when you get to 4 7,
You will spot a sign that points to i-84.
And you're only gonna have to spend
1 2 miles on the turnpike.
And that's the beauty part.
You'll save lots of time and aggravation,
You'll put hours on your life,
And you'll thank me and the three bees later.
I laughs ]
Stag road is arrroaching.
In one mile, turn right.
You got it, tom.
I birds chirping ]
I inhales sharply ] where the hell am i?
It's four miles
From the intersection of stag road and u.s. 47

Didn't think you were gonna be meeting the jolly green giant
Out here in willywags, did you?
No, i was actually thinking
That you don't ride in that truck of yours --
You wear it.
I've never heard it put that way before.
But when i win the lottery,
I'm gonna buy myself a big old v-8 350.
Or you can buy two and weld them together.
I like the way you think. I chuckles ]
Anyway, thanks for doing this.
I'm happy to give you some money, whatever you need.
Oh, what? Are you kidding me?
Charging a damsel in distress?
That's un-american.
That's very gentlemanly.
Yeah.
Well, you saved me a mess of trouble myself
When you picked that crap up off the road. Yeah.
Us good samaritans got to stick together.
Yeah, you want to hear about a good samaritan?
Some truck with a skeleton on the side
Just drove past here and kept going.
So someone just drove b y and didn't even offer to help you out?
No, i don't -- i don't think he saw me.

With lots of little...
Tiny words on the side of it.

Well, tell you what...
How about instead of changing your tire...
What if i screw you?

When the affection finally filters down
To the next generation with no blue hair,
I'm gonna buy myself a chateau in france.
Hey, i hope that didn't happen here.
A lot of people leave their cars here
And accept rides they shouldn't.
I don't mean to offend,
But you really don't belong
In a place like this to begin with.
You know, it gets in the papers.
My gram would be disappointed.
I understand.
Thank you for the call, okay?
A bad bo yfriend is worse than a serpent's tooth.
I chuckles ] what? Where is that from?
The bible? Dr. Phil?
Anyway, we broke up.
Yeah, that's what a lot of women say,
And then they go back.

...you can't count the times.
This is very cool how many people play here.
''Kenny 'blue,' scatter, helena dove.''
That's a great name.
Eh, moved to l.a. And never looked back.
Must be nice. Thanks again.
Your keys.
That would be smart.
Hey, tess. Would you mind doing an autograph for my gram?
Can you make it, ''to mary, a true fan''?
I wouldn't mind at all.
A guy helped me when my bo yfriend and i were,
Um...you know?
Anyway, if it hadn't been for him,
I'd be hurt a lot worse.
I'd like to thank him, but i don't know his name.
I don't know if i could do you much good there.
Uh, the folks come and go.
I, uh, met him at that little convenience store
Down the road from here.
That's where we got in our fight,
And he came along in this big truck with a loud exhaust.
And i remember ichuckles] thinking he wasn't driving it --
He was wearing it.
Uh, was he big? Was he real big?
Uh, like giant. I chuckles ]
Oh, that's ''big driver'' you're talking about.
Yeah, i don't know where he lives,
But must have high ceilings. I chuckles ]
Yeah, he's local. I see him around town.
If you see him around again,
Can you do me a favor and not tell him
That we talked and just give me a call?
I want to surprise him,
Give him a little gift or something.
Mm. That's -- that's sweet.

She was a pretty odd duck.
Noi noi yes.
[ screams ]
Nofveii: better a straight shot through robin hood's forest
Than all the wa y around it.
What if they're related?
Mother, sister? Too old to be a sister.
Okay, maybe they're related
And she drives to go visit her son all the time,
So of course she would recommend that route.
But why didn't she just say that,
''I go to visit my son all the time''?
Doesn't make sense.
Okay.
''Wedding.''
''Strehlke.''
Where are you, where are you, where are you?
''Strehlke, roscoe. Died suddenly...
2002.''
''The bod y was found hanged, and the neighbor reported
''Mr. Strehlke had been distraught over some trouble
His older bo y had been in.''
I sighs ]
How about instead of changing your tire...
What if i screw you?
No!
Bastard!
Some trouble, some trouble. Older.
I coughs ] older son.
Assault may be sexual battery...
Growing into something bigger.
Uh, maybe the old man offs himself
Because he can't take it anymore, or...
Maybe ramona -- ramona strings him up because...
I don't know. Ramona.
Ramona... Ramona took my picture.
Okay.
She e-mailed it to him. I chuckles ]
She e-mailed it to him to get an advance look?
To what? To, um...
She texted it to him, saying...
Uh, what?
''I'm sending you another juicy one''?
Or she -- i don't know! I don't know!
I was maybe...
Maybe it was a trap. Maybe it was a trap.
If i...
If i visit her...
...and i look her in the eyes and she looks surprised that i'm alive,
Then i'll know.
I sighs ] you're right, fritz.
I need to take care of this myself.
Given what i've been through, i have to.
Mafquis: in the willow grove knitting society,
We've never reacted violently.
But we don't disparage vindictive musings
When the circumstances are sufficiently heinous.
But there is one caveat.
What's the caveat, doreen?
I chuckles ] well, it's very simple, isn't it?
Don't get caught.
If you do, there are dismal repercussions and...
I sighs ] ...it will confirm
That you failed in three ways.
One, your plan didn't work.
Ergo, your agenda and goals are in ruin.
Two, when caught, you will face a legal quagmire,
A hurtling fall from grace, likely imprisonment,
And, of course, the possibility of a dreary cell mate
And my consequent refusal to visit you,
Since i abhor wretched settings.
Last but not least, three...
You are condemned to live with the ex cruciating truth
That, despite your astute mind, you overlooked something.
This oversight will torture you like a sleepless curse,
Plaguing your every thought --
In time, driving you half mad.
I'll try my best not to get caught.
Lovely, dear.
I keyboard clacking ]
I mouse clicking ]
There you are.
Patsy: there. Come on.
I dog barking ]
Hey.
Come on, come on.
You're gonna wake up the neighbors, you.
I gps beeps ]
Tom: hello, tess.
I see we're taking a trir?
A big one.
The time has come, hasn't it?
Well, i know the rerfect route.
I sighs ] yeah.
I suspenseful music plays ]
You ha ve reached your destina tion.
Be careful, tess. She's nota nice rerson.
I engine shuts off ]
I door opens, closes ]
I sighs ]
I doorbell rings ]
I sighs ] ramona.
It's so good to see you.
Back up.
[ tchaikovsky's waltz of the flowers rla ys ]
If you even start to yell, i will shoot.
And you better believe me, bitch.
Why would you shoot me?
You fire that gun, and the whole neighborhood is gonna hear you.
Well, it won't matter to you because you'll be dead.
Back up.
Over there.
You just be a good girl and answer my questions,
And maybe you'll still be alive tomorrow.
Do you hear me?
Over there. You're crazy.
Over there! Aah!
I don't know what you're doing here.
What did you expect?
To find me dead in a drainage pipe?
What you talking about?
You-- i gasps ] no!
Don't lie to me, mommy.
I saw it in your eyes when you came to the door.
You thought i was dead.
I don't know what you're talking about!
Aah! Aah!
Just fess up, you sick bitch.
I whimpering ]
How long have you been doing it, ramona,
Pimping for your homicidal, rapist son?
When -- when did it start?
Thofne: how old was he?
Did he claim to just be ''fooling around?''
You came to the library,
And we all welcomed you.
Yes, we did!
And we paid you a very generous fee.
And the next thing i know,
You're at my doorstep, and you're pointing a gun
And coming up with all these wild accusations.
Your son raped me...
No.
...and tried to kill me.
He thought he did kill me. No.
And you sent me to him! No! No, no.
I would never do that.
He would never do that. It's not true.
You sent me to him! He would never do that!
Ohh!
Ow!
Oh, yes!
No, no, no!
Aah! Get off! Get off me, bitch!
Get off me!
Aah!
Oh, oh.
I breathing heavily ]
You're a crappy writer.
And you're a crappy guest speaker.
You said my new book was fantastic
In your introduction.
I lied.
The other speaker cancelled,
And the only reason i called you
Is 'cause i had nobod y else.
Your plots are pedestrian.
And those old ladies, they're a joke.
That's harsh, ramona.
I chuckles ] you were perfect for him.
I breathes shakily ]
Mommy.
Sit up!
He was gonna do someone. I know the signs.
I sent ya that way.
And i'm glad he did ya -- should've killed ya.
I don't know what you thought you were doing coming here,
But this is what you get.
I gun clicks ]
I both scream ]
Ow! No!
No!
I groaning ]
I breathing heavily ]
Aah! Help me, help me.
Ohh. Ow.
I groaning ]
I exhales sharply ]
Ramona...
The first rule of gun ownership --
Don't put a bullet in the chamber
That first falls under the hammer.
You might accidentally shoot someone.
I've been feeling a sort of --
I don't know what you'd call it -- a kinship
With your bo yfriend richard widmark right now.
I groaning continues ]
''You know what i do to squealers, honey?
I let 'em have it right in the belly.'' no!
Please. Please.
Never tell a writer their stuff is crap.
It brings out the worst in us.
I take my writing very seriously.
You don't -- you don't understand.
You c-- you can't do that.
It is a mistake.
The mistake was yours, ramona.
It was not having
That worthless son of yours castrated
As soon as you found out what he was.
I weakiy ] i n-n-need you to help me.
[ music continues ]
[ volume increases ]
I gunshot ]
I metal squeaks, water running ]
I metal squeaks, water stops ]
I engine whirs ]
I engines revving ]
I air brakes hiss ]
I engine turns over ]
We've been here for hours, tom.
Maybe it's not gonna happen.
Tom: things harren when they do, tess.
I engine whirs ]
Bastard.
Now wha t, tess?
I'll see you. Thanks.
Did you get wha t you needed, tess?
Yeah, he just stopped b y for a coffee and a doughnut.
What if he's married? What if he's got a wife?
Guys like that don't have wives --
Not ones that stick around, anyway.
There's only one woman in his life,
And she's dead.
I knock on window ]
Evening.
What's going on?
Oh, i just pulled over
To get a better signal, you know?
Is that right? Yeah.
You seem a little lost.
Oh, i'm fine. I always look like that.
It's my thing.
I both chuckle ]
You might try down the road near the intersection.
Signal's better. Great.
Thank you so much.
These things really get great mileage.
Yeah, i almost never have to fill my tank.
Gas costs an arm and a leg. Sure does.
What were you doing over b y the truck?
Um...
Like i said, i was trying to get a better signal.
It stinks around here.
You take care now. Thank you. I will.
Tom: obviousl ya slow night in crime-fighting.
I gps beeping ]
Calculating new route.
2440 hiller crescent.
Your destina tion will be on your right.
This isn't the correctaddress.
No, it isn't, but he stopped here for some reason.
Ma ybe it's a trick?
He could be waiting for you, tess.
You can still leave.
No, i can't!
Mafquis: he may be right, dear.
You had trouble with the mother? He's much bigger than her.
If you're going to do this,
I strongly recommend that you get started.
''Soonest begun, soonest done.''
I crickets chirping ]
I gasps ]
I engine whirs ]
I breathing heavily ]
I dog barking ]
I barking continues ]
No!
I barking continues ]
Oh, my god.
I gasps ]
I voice bfeaking ] what have i done?
You killed me, tess, just like you meant to.
I killed the wrong guy.
Mafquis: mistaken identity, dear.
It happens.
Columbus thought america was india.
Anyway, the lighting out here is downright smudgy.
The intriguing question, though,
Is whether the poor dad killed himself
Out of shame over his deranged son, or...
Was dad going to tell
And mom killed him and made it look like suicide?
The sensitive so often wed the cruel.
Which was it, al?
Tell her.
Tell her! Stop it, doreen! Enough!
Enough. No, it's never enough
Until it's fully worked out, dear.
You know that. It's your obsession,
Your gift from your chaotic childhood.
No! I -- no, no, no.
I-i'm listening to a character that i created
And -- and to a man i just killed.
I've lost it.
Well, people always said you would.
Why fight it?
Why were you driving his truck?
He always takes my things, too.
He still has some video games
He won't give back.
You're the brother.
When those girls disappeared,
Did you ask your mother?
No one asked our mother anything --
Ever.
Families can be so finicky.
In our last novel,
There were these truly nasty triplets
That had it in for each other and --
Oh, please, doreen.
Why didn't you tell anybod y
About your psychotic brother?
I don't know.
He was scared, obviously.
Of your brother?
Not him. Scared of her.
I sighs ]
I killed an innocent man.
There was no way you could know.
It all happened so fast.
Doesn't matter, doesn't matter,
Doesn't matter, doreen.
I've just sent myself to hell.
Well, point taken.
But why not make sure the other guy
Gets there first, hmm?
I crying ]
We're going to the address that i programmed.
You mean the one tha t wasn't this address?
That one, smartass.
I door opens ]
I door closes ]
I rhythmic whirring ]
I whirring intensifies ]
Oh, my god.
Sick bastard.
I crying ]
Neiii: eh, moved to l.a. And never looked back.
I mechanical whirring ]
I crickets chirping ]
I whirring stops ]
I blows ]
I sighs ]
I whirring resumes ]
I whirring stops ]
I gasps ]
You're dead.
No.
That would be your mommy and your brother.
Aah! I gunshot ]
I groans ]
I growling ]
Aah!
Don't.
Come and get it.
Aah! I gun clicks ]
I growls ]
I groans ]
I screaming ]
I continues screaming ]
Aah!
I screams intensely ]
I groaning ]
I sighs ]
I screams ]
How about this?
Instead of letting you go...
I weakiy ] no. Don't kill me.
...why don't i just kill you?
I cfying ] please don't kill me.
Please don't.
If i may weigh in, dear...
...waste the whiny bitch.
I screams ]
The world just got a little better.
If i were you -- and arguably i am --
I would head out of here a.s.a.p.
You'll never get away with it, you bitch.
Oh, for heaven's sakes, you grotesque freak.
It's over. Of course she will.
Thofne: i didn't kill an innocent man.
They were all guilty.
Rart of me died after wha t they did to me,
But wha t they left of me is stronger.
I gps beeps ]
Are you ready to go home, tess?
You've had a long night.
Yes. Let's go home.
If i may interrupt, dear...
...as you know, i repeatedly tell the girls
That, when solving crimes,
We must never forget the cardinal truth
About murderers --
They often overlook the obvious.
What am i forgetting, doreen?
I hinges squeaking ]
Don't get caught.
I breathing heavily ]
Thofne: i guess i was alwa ys violent deer down.
I denied it like most of us do,
But it let me dream ur 1 2 novels
Where reorle were murdered in cold blood,
So tha t didn't come from nowhere.
I sobbing ]
Tom: tess.
Tess, are you all right?
I sighs ]
Yeah.
I'm okay, tom.
I'm glad. I'd be lost without you.
I sniffles ]
I water running ]
I won't make ex cuses for wha t i've done,
Nor can i sa y i did it while of unsound mind.
I wanted an eye for an eye.
I got my justice.
I wrote helena dove's name on the back of her rhoto.
Ma ybe tha t'll helr her famil y.
With any luck, the rolice will identify the others.
And if itall leads to me, if they find evidence
Somewhere along the wa y in their investiga tions,
So be it.
But i won't volunteer it.
It cost me too much.
I fritz purring ]
I printer whirs ]
Can you please read this for me?
I want to hear how it sounds.
Something a little different.
Of course, dear.
'''Given that emotion and not logic
'''Is the key to all human behavior
''And to crime itself,' said doreen marquis
''As the other knitting society members listened,
'''I propose we fully change our investigative focus
'''From forensic to psychological,
''From the crime to the perpetrator.''
I like this, dear.
It's the beginning of the new one.
Will you read a little bit more?
'''Logic will only get us so far in solving a crime,'
Said doreen with her meticulous syntax.''
'''We must understand the emotion motivating it
''In order to comprehend why people do the unthinkable.
''Because in the absence of logic,
''We all make some of
The most profound choices of our lives.'''
What do you think?
Well, to be frank,
I think it's about time, dear.
We can't always be polite and --
And logical, can we?
Sometimes it's just about friggin' payback.
I laughter ]
Payback.
I keyboard clacking ]
I telephone rings ]
Hello.
Hello?
Woman: i know what you did, tess.
Way to go, gifi.
Betsy?
I line ciicks, diai tone ]
And all the roses seem to fade
And somehow i have lost my way
Sunlight always turns to shade
And dreaming pulls the heart away
Time will pass, and seasons change
We all start to act our age
As the distance makes us strange
Play your part up on the stage
And i'm tired of pretending
That i'm happy to be here
As our time together's ending
I just want to tell you
Dear love
Dear lo-o-o-ve
Dear love
Dear lo-o-o-ve
Dear love
Dear lo-o-o-ve
Dear love
Dear lo-o-o-ve
