A scene from “Unfinished Business”

Hal Palmer: [after Jessica exposes him as the murderer] I never told Rachel, but she was everything to me. Without her, I never would have come out of my depression after Ellen died. I would have lost everything. I fell in love with her. Then he came. They kept seeing each other almost every day, and I knew they were getting close, and I couldn't handle it. See, I'd read about Tommy's stalker in Music Today. I got one of those souvenir guitar pins, Tommy's guitar, which I was gonna leave behind and then ... And then lost. 'Course, you know I missed my shot. I tried again from outside the fundraiser, but I couldn't get a clear shot. You were right, Jessica. I followed Tommy and Rachel last night. I had my rifle in my truck, but I was afraid. With them together, I might hit Rachel. And then that storm came up. I knew exactly how I was going to kill him. I had everything I needed in the truck. I waited until they left, then I rigged the amplifier. When I finished, I decided I'd use the solder to just get Blue out of her life, too. I shouldn't have. I shouldn't have done any of it. But I love her so much.
