My god. We almost killed an innocent woman.

652
Like I said, I don't do refunds,

653
but if you'd like,

654
I'm willing to pay Mrs. Huber a visit.

655
No. Just keep the money.

656
This whole thing's been tearing me up --

657
the nightmares, the guilt.

658
This isn't what Mary Alice would have wanted.

659
What would she have wanted?

660
Answers.

661
Hello, Mrs. Huber.

662
Paul.

663
Let me give you a hand.

664
That's really not necessary.

665
I insist.

666
Ants, huh?

667
Yes. I've had a little infestation problem.

668
I wanted to take care of it before I left on my trip.

669
Never had a problem with ants.

670
Mary Alice and I had these little black flies once.

671
Oh?

672
She was so funny about it.

673
She ran out and bought herself a can of
poison something to spray them down,

674
so she's taking aim at one on
the counter, and she just,

675
stops, puts the can down.

676
Couldn't do it.

677
She told me later it felt too personal.

678
She truly couldn't kill a fly.

679
That's how gentle she was.

680
Then you must have lived with quite a few flies.

681
I'm going to have to say good
night to you now, Paul.

682
What are you doing here?

683
I want to know why.

684
I know you've got a lot of questions,

685
and I also know I don't want to lose you,

686
so ask me anything you want.

687
You just told me everything I need to know.

688
All right.

689
My idiot husband died and left
me with a worthless pension.

690
I was desperate for money,

691
and it's better to take it from
a bad person than a good one.

692
How was I supposed to know she'd shoot herself?

693
She was a good person.

694
A good person who leaves her child motherless?

695
Read the bible, Paul. Suicide's a big no-no.

696
Don't you feel any remorse what so ever?

697
Why should I?

698
Your wife didn't kill herself because I wrote a note.

699
She killed herself because of what
she did to that poor baby.

700
But rest assured,

701
I'm praying for Mary Alice.

702
After what she did, she'll need all of our prayers.

703
There is a widely read book that
tells us everyone is a sinner.

704
Of course, not everyone feels guilt
over the bad things they do.

705
In contrast, there are those who assume
more than their share of the blame.

706
There are others who soothe their consciences
with small acts of kindness...

707
or by telling themselves their sins were justified.

708
Finally, there are the ones who simply
vow to do better next time

709
and pray for forgiveness.

710
Sometimes their prayers are answered.
