les said there was no doubt that he was already dead. Our poor, sad father, the man whose love we had never questioned.
once mom was settled down, I found
les sitting at dad's feet, crying.
well, I don't need to talk about how we felt.
there was some paper on the table. we thought it was a suicide note, but it was a life insurance policy.
we hadn't known about it of course.
It was for enough to support mom
for the rest of her life. not lavishly,
but it was enough to get by on.
dad had taken it out and
left it for us to find...
he had overlooked
one thing, though...
the policy was
void if the death
was suicide.
but you found a way
to pass his death
off as a heart attack!
how--how did
you know
about that?
It's a matter of public
record. and now I think I
know how you pulled it off.
That empty coffin was no mix-up.
It arrived here empty because
your father's body
never left this apartment!
the coffin arrived empty, but last night when my wife looked inside
your father was there--and he
was no heart attack victim.
maybe you are just a couple of kids trying
to scam an insurance company to help your mother.
I've winked at worse, and I might let it slide...
but I've got a feeling it
wasn't suicide--that the two,
or three, of you murdered him.
and what do you plan
to do with that idea?
what any good citizen
would do--I'm gonna
call a cop!
no, mr. morgan.
you are not going
anywhere.
