We knew it was coming.It""s the only way we can have everything we want.That man is going to die, for no reason but we want him dead.He doesn""t deserve it.Let""s not ever say that.We""re doing it for us.You""ll inherit half of everything he owns.That""s what the will says, right? That""s it, then.That""s it.We""re gonna kill him.And I think I know how....And if we""re not careful, it""s gonna be the last real thing we do.Shortly later, Matty proposed to Ned that Edmund""s will could also be rewritten and changed.Presently, Edmund""s will left everything instead to his young niece, Heather, and indirectly o Heather""s mother Roz (Lanna Saunders) - Edmund""s sister.
