Deadly Pickup (2016)
( music playing ) ( music playing ) ( music playing ) ( music playing ) Whoa... Hey, thanks for
stopping. Where you headed? Wherever you are. Hop in. I'd never know love And probably lose my Mind... You are my inspiration Need you like flowers need rain My name's Josh. I'm Breezy. Thanks again for picking me up. It's awfully nice of you. No problem. No problem at all. You a student? A student? State University. That's where I'm headed. That's an awfully nice ring. You like it? Solid gold. Gotta represent, right? So, you headed there too? Fall semester starts in a week. Oh, I see. Um, no, I'm not a student. I'm just... travelling. Free spirit, huh? That's right. I like that. Do you play football, Josh? Yeah, I do. How'd you guess? Well, you look like you're in really good shape. Yeah, the team hits the weight room twice a week. Do you always pick up hitchhikers, Josh? Uh, no. Not really. I mean, never, before today. Well... then I guess today's your lucky day. I guess it is. Pull up over there. Oh, uh... yeah. Buckle up, Josh. It's gonna be a bumpy ride. ( music playing ) ( music playing ) ( music playing ) ( music playing ) ( music playing ) ( music playing ) ( music playing ) ( music playing ) All right, I'm off to work. I'll be pulling a double shift tonight, so I'll be home late. Try to miss me. Honey... I'm sorry. Sorry about what? Sorry you have to work so hard. Maybe I should just give all this up. Brian, don't be ridiculous. We agreed. I'll work while you go to school. Once you have your engineering degree, we'll be set. Yeah, and in the meantime, my wife is schlepping booze to drunks on a nightly basis. It's only for a little while, and the tips are pretty good. Any response to our ad? It only came out yesterday. Give it some time. The extra room is just sitting empty up there. We can get somebody to rent it, you won't have to work these double shifts. I won't lie. I wouldn't mind that. ( door bell ringing ) Speak of the devil? Do you think? Who else? Can I help you? Hi. Are you the one that placed the ad about the spare room? We are. Well, I'm interested, if it's still available. Of course, come on in. Please, have a seat. We'd like to ask you some questions, if that's okay? Sure. My wife's gotta go to work, but-- I have time. So, you are? Breezy, Breezy Johnson. Breezy. I'm Traci, and this is my husband Brian. Nice to meet you both. So, what do you do for a living, Breezy? I'm a student at State University. We're an awfully long way from the university. Oh, I know, but I registered late, so all the housing was taken, and I can't afford anything closer to campus. How will you get to school? I have a friend whose parents live nearby. He's gonna pick me up and we'll car pool. You know the room's 500 a month. Right. We'll require first and last month's rent ahead of time. That's fine. Well, would you like to see the room? Sure. Here it is. You have your own bathroom, and there's an exit off the back hallway, so you have complete privacy. This is really nice. No parties, and no overnight guests. Oh, you don't have to worry about that. You'll hardly even know I'm here. So, is it settled then? Sure. Great. So, your keys are here on the dresser. Do you have any bags you need help bringing up? No, I'm good, thanks. Okay, welcome. ( music playing ) Holy shit! Sheriff Bates, this is Deputy Randall. I'm out on Route 30. Found a car on the side of the road. There's a dead body in it. Where the hell's that paper? ( shower running ) Hello? ( music playing ) ( music playing ) ( music playing ) ( music playing ) ( music playing ) Welcome home, honey. Hey. Maybe I should work a double shift more often. Have I told you lately how much I love you? You have, but you can never say it enough. I really appreciate everything you do. What's gotten into you? Nothing -- can't a man show a little affection for his wife? Of course. Is our house guest home? Hmm? Oh, no. I think she left early this morning. Probably had a class. Good. ( music playing ) What's gotten into you, babe? Ah, I missed you. ( music playing ) ( music playing ) ( music playing ) ( music playing ) ( music playing ) ( music playing ) ( music playing ) Sheriff, I got the autopsy report on that John Doe. Well, he's not a John Doe anymore. Vehicle registration came back to a Clark, Josh Clark. We're checking him out right now. So, did you find anything interesting in this? Poisoned. - Poisoned?! - Mm-hmm. Fast acting one, too, according to the medical examiner. Says they found a little pin prick on his neck. So, what you think, Sheriff? Hitchhiker? Could be, but where'd they go? Maybe he got picked up by another car. Yeah, it's possible. See if you can dig up that bulletin we got a while back on those unsolved murders out in Nevada. Yeah, hold on. I believe that was a hitchhiker then, too. That's right. Here it is. Poisoned, if my memory serves. Yeah, there wasn't much to go on here. Same M.O. Poison. And, they found a small pin prick on his neck. So, we didn't get any usable finger prints. But the lab boys, they swabbed the wound on our vic, and if they come up with any foreign DNA, they said they'd let us know right away. I got a friend that works over in the state lab. I'll give them a call, tell them to put a rush on it. Good. And after that, I want you to go back up there and canvass the neighborhood in that canyon. If we had a hitchhiker going through there, I'll bet you somebody saw something somewhere. Right, there's not many homes up there. I'll do it this afternoon. Good. ( music playing ) ( metal detector beeping ) Hi. Hey. How are you? Good. Find anything? Nah. Hasn't been my lucky day. Well, your luck might be changing. I'm Breezy. Breezy? That's an interesting name. Thanks. I'm Rick. Nice to meet you. Same here. So, what are you doing today, Breezy? Just bumming around the beach? Something like that. I just love the ocean, you know. The way it crashes on the shore, over and over again. Yes... it's almost erotic. I'm so glad you understand. Hold on. Listen, I got a van up there. Let's go take some shelter, huh? ( music playing ) ( music playing ) ( music playing ) ( music playing ) ( music playing ) That's it? Well, what did you expect, baby? You pick up a guy at the beach. There's not exactly gonna be flowers and candy. You know what I mean? I know exactly what you mean... baby. ( door bell ringing ) Can I help you, Deputy? Just need to ask you a few questions. Can I come in? Yeah, of course. What's going on? Don't know. Nothing to be concerned about, ma'am. I'm just talking to all the neighbors. Wanted to make sure they haven't seen any strangers the last few days, anything unusual? No, nothing. There is Breezy. - Breezy? - She's our new tenant. She just moved in yesterday. - Is she here now? - No, she's out. Okay, I would like to speak to her as soon as I can. Do you know how to contact her? No, I don't. Listen, what's this about? There was a murder on Route 30 yesterday. - What? A murder! - Oh, my God. We think it was a hitchhiker. Most likely, long since gone, but we just want to be thorough. Hello. Hi, you must be Breezy. That's right. I'm Deputy Randall. Hi. He's here asking about a murder. Well, that's not exactly accurate, but I would like to speak with you. Okay. Where were you yesterday, before you came here? Ma'am, if you don't mind, I'd like to do the questioning. I would like to speak to her alone. Of course. Traci. Would you like to take a seat? Okay. Your full name. Breezy Johnson. Breezy? What can I say? My parents were hippies. I'm told you arrived here yesterday. That's right. From where? Portland. Portland. And how did you get here? I took the bus. The nearest bus stop's in Blairesville. Right, I had a friend pick me up. He drove me here. And you're going to State. Yes, or, I will be. I haven't registered yet. And your friend's name. Joe. Joe what? Oh, gosh, you know, I actually don't know his last name. He's really a friend of my brother's, go to the same school, so he offered to pick me up. I saw the ad for the room here and I had him drop me off here. I think I have enough information for now. Great. Well, if you need to talk again, you know where to find me. Well, if you see anything or anyone suspicious, you give me a call. My number's on the back. You call me day or night. Thanks, Deputy. You can call me Jeremy. Jeremy. I'll do that. ( coughing and gasping ) ( music playing ) So, the cops were at your place? Yeah, some kid apparently got killed a few days ago, left his car on the side of the road. Oh, yeah, yeah. I heard about that. Yeah, I guess you never know when you're gonna buy it. But, Charlie, the same day that happens, this woman, Breezy, shows up at our house. You're telling me that's a coincidence. This is your new tenant? Yeah, and frankly, something seemed off about her, right from the beginning. So why did you rent to her? We need the money. Brian's going to school, and we can't live off what I make in this dump. Hey! No offence. Well, did you do a background check, did you check her credit? No, she's just a college kid. Paid in cash. Well, it's none of my business, but if I have a potential murderer living under my roof... I'm not sure I'd go that far. I mean, she talked to the cops and they let her go. Still, I mean, if it were me, I'd look into it. Well, what can I do? I can't exactly kick her out without a reason. I'm not saying kick her out, I'm saying, learn more about her. How? Well, she's not always home, right? She goes out. Next time she does. Sneak in her room, look through her shit. Really? That doesn't seem right. What's right got to do with it? She's living in your home. You got a dead body down the street. The cops are knocking at your door. I think you're way past right and wrong here. Trust me, you'll sleep better. Maybe you're right. Okay, thanks. You know, I really appreciate you guys getting right on this. Yeah, thanks. I got some background on our vic. Josh Clark. Registered as a student at State University. Well, that makes sense. I think the fall semester starts up this week. Right. Well, that was your pal over at the lab on the phone. They got some DNA off the wound which is not Clark's. So that's got to be our killer. I got them checking all the national data bases and we ought to have an answer by morning. Well, even if he's not in the system, we come up with a suspect, we'll have something to match it with. Right, now how did your door to door go? Spent most of yesterday canvassing the neighborhood going up and down the canyon. 20 homes total. Anything? Well, nothing to be suspicious about really. Pretty much a dead end. Ah, that's okay. It was a long shot anyway. ( telephone ringing ) Sheriff's station. Deputy Randall speaking. Wait, what? Where? Where exactly? Okay, don't touch a thing. We'll be right there. I mean it. Don't touch a thing. What's up? They just found a dead body on the beach. Drowned? No. Looks like it could be the work of our hitchhiker. Damn! Hello? Is anyone home? Come on in. You sure it's okay. Yeah, no one's home. You know, I don't normally do this. You know, go home with someone I just met at a bar. Shut up and take off your clothes. No, no, not here. Let's go to your room. Okay. ( music playing ) ( music playing ) ( music playing ) ( music playing ) ( music playing ) ( music playing ) ( music playing ) Ahh! ( moaning ) ( laughing ) Same wound, all right. That's definitely our second victim. Looks like we got a serial killer in our small town. Sure looks that way. Looks like the body's been here all night. Medical examiner's on the way. He should be able to confirm the time of death. These marks in the sand. Looks like he fell from up there. I'll go and check out that van. You stay here and wait for the M.E. Right. ( phone ringing ) Deputy Randall. "Deputy Randall." That sounds so official. Hello, Breezy. What can I do you for? Well, I was wondering if I could see you tonight. Uh... you have some information for me? Well, if that means that you'll go out with me tonight, then sure. Uh, I'm on duty tonight. Oh, so, do I have to commit a crime or something to see you? No, I certainly wouldn't want you to do that. You don't have to stay in the office the whole night, do you? No, no, the calls are being forwarded to my cell. I'm on patrol tonight. It's a small town, but we do have a... we do have a crime to deal with. Well, on these patrols, do you ever happen to patrol near Charlie's Bar? Yeah, that's on my route. And is there any chance that you would be patrolling there around 9:00 p.m. tonight? I very well could be. Fine. I'll see you then. ( music playing ) Hi. Hey, what can I get you? I'll just have a beer, thanks. Cool, coming right up. Need another round for table three. Breezy? What are you doing here? Traci, you work here? I do. I just came in for a drink. Okay. Somehow, I feel like we got off on the wrong foot. You don't seem to like me very much. I'd love it if we could be friends. I don't know you very well. We should change that. We should. Let's get together later and have a girl's chat, shall we? I would like that very much. - All right, can't wait. - There you go. Thanks. Yeah. Hey, that table's had enough, okay. They're cut off. Right, thanks. Talk to you later. Great. Well, hello, Deputy. What a surprise to see you here. Yeah, well, my patrol just happened to pass by, and I thought maybe I'd come in and see if any devious activity was going on. I swear, officer, I'm innocent. Pa-kow! Hey, Deputy, what can I get you? Hey, Charlie. Uh, soda. I'm on duty. - Thanks for coming out. - Yeah, no problem. We can do this again when I'm not in duty and I can have more than just a soda. I'll look forward to it. So, tell me about yourself, Jeremy. Uh, well, not much to tell, really. Well, are you from around here? Yeah, I grew up in a town about 50 miles west of here. My uncle was the sheriff. So, when I became a cop, I looked for a job nearby, and this is the first place that would hire me. You must be terribly exciting. Uh, I'm a small town cop, really. I just deal with stray cats and write parking tickets, well, until recently. Oh, right, the murder. Did you ever find the person you were looking for? The one that killed that boy. No, not yet, but we're making progress. However-- However? We found a body this morning. Oh, no. Yeah, same killer. That's horrible. Do you have any leads? We have a DNA sample. If we get a hit on that, we might find our man. Well, that sounds promising. Yeah, but it's a bit of a long shot. It's not like it is in the movies. You know, if the person hasn't done a crime or served active military, they probably won't be in the system, but it's a start though. Listen, Charlie, I'm taking off early. What? You're here till 2:00. No, that's my tenant over there. And as long as she's here, that means that she's not at home. I'm about to take your advice. I should learn to keep my mouth shut. I didn't know it was gonna cost me my best waitress tonight. I'll see you later. Thank you. Listen, I got to get going. I got to stop by the station and get back on patrol. Well, you know, I've never seen the inside of a police station before. Ah, it's nothing terribly exciting. Why don't you let me be the judge of that? Let's go. Well, this is it. Not much to it, really. I think it looks real nice. Is this your desk? Uh... Yeah. You want a cup of coffee? Sure. What are these? Top secret police documents? Nah, those are the DNA results from that kid we found in the car the other day. So scientific. Well, forensics are the way to solve crimes these days. Oh, my gosh. I'm so sorry. No, it's, it's okay. It's not your fault. I hope I didn't ruin anything. No, these are just copies of the report from the lab. Oh, good. Breezy... ( music playing ) ( music playing ) ( music playing ) ( music playing ) ( music playing ) ( music playing ) Oh, yeah, please! Oh, God! ( moaning ) Bates: Randall! Randall, you here? Oh, shit, it's the sheriff. Come on, put on your clothes. Go out the back door. Randall! Damn kid! ( phone ringing ) This is Sheriff Bates. Oh, hey, Hector. How you doing? You lab boys find out anything? We did. We just got a positive hit on that DNA sample you sent us. I'm emailing you the details now. Well, how about just giving me the short version? It's a woman. Her name's Brenda Johnson. Arrested a few times back in Michigan for petty theft, simple assault, nothing major. Well, sounds like she's hitting the big time now. And check this out. She worked for two years at her father's chemical processing plant that manufactured rat poison. Well, that sounds like that's our girl. Okay, I'm gonna send you the details. Okay, I'd appreciate it. ( music playing ) Sarah... Josh? What the hell are you doing in here?! Um, I was, I was looking for you. Stay out of my stuff! Oh, gosh. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to pry, but listen. I don't think this is working out. You need to move. - What? - You can stay here tonight. But I need you out of here by tomorrow afternoon. But... I thought, I thought we were finally getting to know one another. I don't know a thing about you. I'd love to share. You're so beautiful. Don't... Brian: Honey, I'm home! That's Brian. Look, I need to go, but just remember, out of here by tomorrow afternoon. ( music playing ) ( phone ringing ) Deputy Randall. Yes, Traci. You found what? It said Josh. In her stuff? Breezy. Vehicle registration came back to a Clark, Josh Clark. Did you ever find the person you were looking for? The one that killed that boy. Randall: They just found a dead body on the beach. What are these? Top secret police documents? Got out of your house now. Go directly to the Sheriff's station. Don't make any stops. ( music playing ) Hello, anyone here? Oh, hey, we're actually not open yet. We open at 11:00. I'm not here for a drink. Okay, well, what can I do for you then? I was hoping Traci would be here. She wasn't home when I got up this morning. Oh, yeah, you're her new tenant. I wanted to talk to her. We had a little bit of a fight last night. Hmm, she's mentioned you to me a couple of times. She can be a little nervous. There's nothing to be nervous about. I'm perfectly harmless. I don't know about that. Do a lot of harm with this hot bod of yours. Well, aren't you sweet? So, when do you expect her? Hmm...just a few minutes before we open. You can come back then if you want. I could, or I could just hang out here, if you don't mind. Well, I don't mind. Like I said though, it's gonna be a few hours. Well, what could we possibly do in those few hours? I've got a thought or two. I bet you do. But aren't you with that deputy? I'm not with him now. Right here? Right here. ( music playing ) ( music playing ) ( music playing ) ( music playing ) ( music playing ) ( music playing ) Hold it right there! Put your hands up! Jesus, man. She came on to me. Shut up, Charlie. Step away from him, Breezy. One more move and I'll kill him. That's poison she has right there, Charlie. Dude, if she's your girl-- She's not my girl. Aw, how can you say that? After everything we've been through. Stay back. I mean it. This is where it ends, Brenda. The DNA match came through. We know all about your escapades back east, and your internship at your father's chemical factory. My, my, you've been busy. How did you know to find me here? Traci called me. She found your bag of souvenirs. I figured you'd come back here looking for her. You're so clever, Jeremy, too clever. ( pistol firing ) It's Deputy Randall to you. I can't believe we had a murderer living in our house. I'm so sorry, sweetheart. It's not your fault. How could you have known? Makes you wonder why she did all those things, all those murders. Who can say? Jilted lover, broken home. Maybe she just snapped one day. We'll probably never know for sure. She had everyone fooled, except you. I knew something was wrong about her the minute she walked in, but we needed the money so bad. Ha, not anymore. Yeah, a $50,000 reward is a pretty nice way to end this nightmare. Yeah, it's a good thing Deputy Randall gave you the credit for turning him onto Breezy. You mean, it's a good thing I'm a snoop. Yeah, that too. And now that my tuition is paid for, you can stop working those double shifts. Thank God. And, when I graduate and have that nice, cushy job, maybe we can start talking about having a family again. That would be wonderful. I love you. I love you. What are these? Top secret police documents? Oh, so, do I have to commit a crime or something to see you? Maybe you're right. They just found a dead body on the beach. Yeah, and in the meantime, my wife is schlepping booze to drunks on a nightly basis. Hey, that table's had enough, okay? They're cut off. She goes out, next time she does, sneak in her room, look through her shit. You know I don't normally do this, you know, like, go home with someone I just met at a bar. Where you headed? ( music playing ) My graceful baby How could you do this to me? Whenever you kiss me You show me ecstasy If it wasn't for you The sun would never shine I'd never know love And probably lose my mind You are my inspiration Need you like flowers need rain You are my soul's attention Don't wanna be with anyone else You are my intoxication My intoxication ( music playing ) Sweet brown-eyed woman Look what you've done to me From the moment I met you I knew this was meant to be You give me utter bliss When you love me like you do I'm like an alcoholic Can't make it without you I'll be there when you want Just call me any time of day You've got my number now I'll do anything you say, baby Yeah It's a brand new sunny day Can't wait to get to you There's a warm feeling in the air I think of making love to you If it wasn't for you The sun would never shine I'd never know love And probably lose my mind You are my inspiration Need you like flowers need rain You are my soul's attention Don't wanna be with anyone else You are my intoxication My intoxication My intoxication ( music playing ) ( music playing ) |
