601
when jonathan lisco, local gay activist
and part-time female impersonator,
602
was brutally1 attacked in his home.
603
Lisco speculated the attack was in response to his efforts
604
to secure same-sex partner insurance coverage
from his employer cliffside cable.
605
Police are circulating this sketch2 of the assailant.
606
I have to say, you know, certain acts
just speak for themselves.
607
I've taken a strong stand
with my company... is there something
608
you want to ask me?
609
No.
610
You took it, didn't you?
611
Good evening, Mrs. Huber.
612
It's my own fault for not hiding the cup.
613
Obviously, if you're capable of arson3,
614
I should have known you'd be capable
of breaking and entering.
615
I don't know what you're talking about, Mrs. Huber.
616
I suppose you destroyed it.
617
Again, I don't know what you're
talking about, but, yeah. I did.
618
I was going to keep your secret.
It's a shame you couldn't trust me.
619
You're a piece of work.
620
You know that?
621
Oh, Susan, let's not be unpleasant.
622
We can go back to the same
friendly relationship we've always had.
623
I will keep my lawn looking nice,
624
and I will make sure that
my music isn't played too loud,
625
and if I get some of your mail,
heck, I'll run it right over,
626
'cause that's what good neighbors do.
627
But from now on, when I run into you on the street
628
and I say good morning, Mrs. Huber,
or how are you, Mrs.Huber?
629
Just know that inside, I am quietly
but decidedly hating your guts4.
630
Careful, dear.
631
Let's not say things we'll live to regret.
632
Good evening, Mrs. Huber.
633
He actually said Mary Alice was crazy?
634
Not in so many words, but everything Paul said
certainly made it seem like she was schizophrenic.
635
I think he's hiding something. I know it.
636
But wait. What about the tape?
I mean, she did say that her name was Angela.
637
Mary Alice was not crazy.
638
Well, my father was a prosecutor5,
639
and he always said that the simplest
explanation was usually the right one.
640
But remember what the note said --
641
I know what you did. It makes me sick,
and I'm going to tell.
642
That's not the kind of thing
someone writes to themselves.
643
That's a message sent by an enemy.
644
So exactly what is it you hired me to do?
645
It's very simple, really --
646
someone sent that note to my wife,
647
and I need to know who.
648
What type of person would send such a note?
649
Was it an enemy?
650
Of course.
651
But what kind?
652
An acquaintance?
653
A stranger?
654
Or how about...
655
a neighbor that lives a few feet away?
