Out of the Past

Hank Cousineau is a grumpy store owner who is not afraid to protect his business from street thugs. Doctor Monika Harper, who cares for young children at a local hospital, has murdered Cousineau. Angie believes his killing was personal. His throat was slit but he never defended himself. Cousineau recognized Harper when he saw her picture in the paper. He began taking photos of her entire family and threatened her son outside her home. Angie and Oscar find his camera. Harper's husband (Adrian Hough) supports her story that everyone was home at the time of Cousineau's death. His wife wasn't. The military informs Angie and Oscar that Cousineau had come back from a tour in Bosnia with a defeated attitude. Angie also learns that the woman Harper claims to be is dead. When she mentions this to her, Harper convinces her husband to run away. Betty tells Angie that Cousineau was paralyzed after being injected in the neck with drugs from Harper's hospital. Angie and Oscar show up at Harper's house just as the family is leaving. Monika Harper is really Djerica Simonovic from Bosnia. The Serbian doctor often took cigarette breaks with Cousineau, who had befriended a young Muslim boy. She had taken part in the mass killing of Muslim children. Cousineau couldn't stop her murders, including the killing of his young friend. In the present day, he threatened to expose her and she killed him before he could.
