Marco Barricelli: Chief Jim Martin
Quotes
-
[Robin arrives at the scene of the crime. She crouches and touches a stone stained with dried blood. Suddenly she hears a voice near her]
Chief Jim Martin : Yeah, that's blood.
[Robin stands and faces the policeman]
Robin Morales : I was just...
Chief Jim Martin : [interrupts] I know what you were doing. You were looking for the scene of a crime. You found it. You did good... for a TV person. I'm impressed.
Robin Morales : [extends her hand] I'm Robin Morales.
Chief Jim Martin : [shakes Robin's hand] Jim Martin, chief of the Harley Police.
Robin Morales : Chief? Now I'm impressed.
Chief Jim Martin : Yeah, well, there's only me and one other guy, and he's the co-chief, and that's pretty well the whole damn force.
[Robin smiles]
Chief Jim Martin : So what are you doing out here, looking at blood on the rocks, Robin?
Robin Morales : I'm researching a story. I work for...
Chief Jim Martin : [interrupts] I know, I know. Case Unsolved. Word travels fast in a small town. But I understood you were doing a story on the haunted house?
Robin Morales : [nods] I am. But I think there's a connection. I mean, with all the stories of death and disappearance surrounding the house, I think they might be all related. I mean, isn't it more of the same? Don't you think they might be related?
Chief Jim Martin : No, I don't.
Robin Morales : Why not?
Chief Jim Martin : Because the haunted house is a ghost story, and I don't believe in ghosts. But this is the real thing. This is murder, Robin.
[Chief Martin looks down at the bloody stones. Robin follows his gaze]
Chief Jim Martin : It's no ghost that spilled that blood. And whoever did it hasn't been caught, so I don't think you should be out here wandering around in the woods by yourself.
Robin Morales : [confidently] I can take care of myself.
Chief Jim Martin : That may be, but you're running an unnecessary risk. Stick to the ghost story.
Robin Morales : What do you think happened to Eileen Wiley's hand?
Chief Jim Martin : [shrugs] Got bit off by a dog.
Robin Morales : Do you really believe that?
Chief Jim Martin : Sure I do.
Robin Morales : Well, I don't. I mean, how could a dog do that?
Chief Jim Martin : [jokingly] Probably one of those damned Rotweillers.
Robin Morales : Oh, come on chief! Were there more bite marks on her? Did anyone find the dog? Did anyone find the hand?
Chief Jim Martin : I don't know. It was before my time. You'd have to ask Doc Thorton. He's the one sewed her up.
Robin Morales : Is he still around?
Chief Jim Martin : Barely. Doc's gettin' up there, but he's still breathing. Come on, I'll drive you by his office. You can follow me in that snazzy little car.
Robin Morales : [smiles] Okay, chief.
Chief Jim Martin : Call me Jim, will you? Kind of embarrassing to be called chief when there's no one to be chief over.
Robin Morales : [smiles] Okay, Jim.
[they start walking away from the murder scene]
Chief Jim Martin : You're not exactly dressed for tromping around in the woods. Maybe you should get some boots. They make a special "TV Producer" designer hiking boots...
[Robin laughs. After they are out of sight, Henry Stauf's head appears between the blood-stained stones for a moment, then disappears]

[Robin and chief Martin arrive in their cars at Doctor Thorton's house. Robin parks and exits her car]
Chief Jim Martin : Well, here it is. Doc Thorton's.
Robin Morales : Thanks for your help.
Chief Jim Martin : No problem. Good luck.
Robin Morales : Okay. See you.
[Robin walks toward the house]
Chief Jim Martin : You take care.
Robin Morales : I will.
[Robin opens the gate. She smiles at chief Martin, who stands and watches her. As she opens the door, she smiles again at chief Martin, who finally leaves. Robin approaches the reception desk. The receptionist - Marie - does not even raises her eyes. Robin taps on the desk. Marie raises her head and looks at Robin hostilely]
Marie Wiley : [sourly] Can I help you?
Robin Morales : I'd like to see Doctor Thorton, if he's available.
Marie Wiley : [scoffs] If he's available. You a patient of his?
Robin Morales : No, I...
Marie Wiley : [hands Robin a form] Fill this out.
Robin Morales : Actually, I'm not here as a patient. I'm a producer for Case Unsolved, the TV show. I'd like to interview him.
Marie Wiley : [smiles mockingly] You're kidding.
Robin Morales : No.
Marie Wiley : [hostilely] What do you want to interview him for?
Robin Morales : I need to discuss that with Doctor Thorton.
Marie Wiley : [talks to the intercom] Hi, doc! You awake?
Doctor Thorton : [coughs over intercom] Yes. Of course.
Marie Wiley : [scoffs] Someone here from a TV show. Says she wants to interview you.
Doctor Thorton : Well, send her in, Marie.
[Marie rudely gestures to Robin with her head toward the doctor's room]
Robin Morales : Thank you.
Marie Wiley : [nastily] Sure.
[Robin enters the doctor's room. Marie leaves the intercom open for eavesdropping]

[Robin walks by the railing of the dam. Watching the waterfall, it begins to roar louder and louder. Suddenly, Robin feels as if someone watches her. She runs through the woods back to the motel. At the motel, she bumps into chief Martin]
Chief Jim Martin : Better watch where you goin' there, Robin. You okay?
Robin Morales : [pants] I... I just... I'm sorry. I was... I don't know what I was doing.
Chief Jim Martin : Whatever it was, you were moving with impressive speed.
Robin Morales : [chuckles] Yaeh, I guess I was.
Chief Jim Martin : I got something for you.
[chief Martin goes to the police unit and takes a pair of hiking boots]
Chief Jim Martin : In case you go hunting for anymore crime scenes. I hope they fit.
Robin Morales : [takes the boots] Why, thanks, chief.
Chief Jim Martin : I told you about the "chief" stuff. Just Jim, okay?
Robin Morales : Okay, Jim.
Chief Jim Martin : Well... you wear them in good health, alright?
Robin Morales : I will. Thanks.
Chief Jim Martin : Good night, Robin.
Robin Morales : Good night, Jim.
[chief Martin enters the unit and drives away. Robin looks at the boots and walks away]
