It Couldn't Be Pepper!
In this episode, Marlowe gets Micky talking. He tries to find out how she feels about her ex-boyfriend, Pepper Riggs, and what her take (her point of view) is on the tragic event of Lou's death. Does she see the tragedy as an accident or does she suspect murder? Although willing to consider the murder angle, she sees it as ‘out of character’ for Pepper to have committed the murder. But, she’s quite willing to finger someone else!
Give and Take
Why does Marlowe trust Micky with his theory and hunches? He must not think she's involved. He has to take the risk that he is right about this in order to get more information, more leads. What he really needs now is a tip to point him in the direction of Moon's whereabouts.Moon is looking quite suspicious in this case since he left the Wall of Death right after Lou's fall. He drove away with his headlights off hoping no one would miss him or see him go. Micky's guess is that he went home, so Marlowe heads out to Moon's shack in the oil fields.
Moon Sings
Marlowe keeps changing his theory on Moon, at times seeing him as a suspect; at other times, seeing him as a victim. Marlowe finds Moon and makes him talk. But Moon is stopped before he can reveal some critical information.
