1
00:00:00,968 --> 00:00:04,564
Seth, I'm talking about a plot to kill
someone. I just heard it on the phone.
2
00:00:04,638 --> 00:00:07,369
Tonight on Murder, She Wrote.
3
00:00:07,441 --> 00:00:12,812
- She thinks there's gonna be
a murder here in Cabot Cove.
- Cabin fever. Had to happen.
4
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,748
I'm well aware that you two
think I am temporarily bonkers.
5
00:00:17,885 --> 00:00:19,979
Got a good recipe
for crow, have you?
6
00:00:20,053 --> 00:00:23,512
You tell her that Morgan Rogers
says to mind her own business, huh?
7
00:00:23,590 --> 00:00:26,424
Gorcey, come on out
with your hands up!
8
00:00:28,629 --> 00:00:30,928
You can't kill me the
way you killed the others.
9
00:01:20,180 --> 00:01:22,955
The eye of the storm
hovers off the coast
10
00:01:22,979 --> 00:01:25,778
while heavy rain and wind
batter coastal communications.
11
00:01:25,852 --> 00:01:27,902
The U.S. Weather Service
warns that there may be
12
00:01:27,926 --> 00:01:29,914
periods of relative calm
and slacking of rain,
13
00:01:29,990 --> 00:01:34,792
but make everything secure, because
Hurricane Ida is definitely on the way.
14
00:01:37,965 --> 00:01:42,630
- Oh, for heaven's sakes.
- Lunchtime.
15
00:01:42,703 --> 00:01:44,899
Aunt Jess, what are you
doing? I was just trying to...
16
00:01:44,972 --> 00:01:48,170
Just trying to throw your back out
again. You heard what the doc said.
17
00:01:48,241 --> 00:01:51,370
You're not supposed to
lean forward. Just lie still.
18
00:01:51,445 --> 00:01:54,279
Still? Grady, I'm gathering
dust in mind and body.
19
00:01:54,348 --> 00:01:56,283
Oh, it won't be much longer.
20
00:01:56,350 --> 00:02:00,981
Oh, thanks, Grady, but that-that
breakfast you fixed for me this morning...
21
00:02:01,054 --> 00:02:03,922
I mean it, uh, really
stuck to my ribs.
22
00:02:03,991 --> 00:02:05,983
You mean my famous
tuna omelet? Mm-hmm.
23
00:02:06,059 --> 00:02:10,360
Well, wait till you see
this. Tuna surprise!
24
00:02:11,365 --> 00:02:14,233
Oh, darling, you've been
surprising me all week.
25
00:02:14,301 --> 00:02:16,793
But, really I— Hiyo!
26
00:02:16,870 --> 00:02:18,805
Oh, Seth? Hey!
27
00:02:18,872 --> 00:02:21,137
Come on up!
28
00:02:24,878 --> 00:02:28,315
Jessica. Grady. Hi.
29
00:02:28,382 --> 00:02:30,374
Well, how's my
patient? Losing my mind.
30
00:02:30,450 --> 00:02:33,079
Well, that's the spirit.
No, Seth, I'm serious.
31
00:02:33,153 --> 00:02:36,385
This is my second Tuesday in bed, and
the room's getting smaller by the minute.
32
00:02:36,456 --> 00:02:38,391
Matter of fact, it's Wednesday.
33
00:02:38,458 --> 00:02:41,792
And you better get used to it. I expect
you’ll be here next Wednesday too.
34
00:02:41,862 --> 00:02:44,559
That storm out there
has a mind of its own.
35
00:02:44,631 --> 00:02:48,033
I think the safest place for
you is right where you are. Oh.
36
00:02:48,101 --> 00:02:52,402
Now, don't be too upset. I
have a nice little present for you.
37
00:02:52,472 --> 00:02:56,671
Look at this. What do you
think of that? Well, what is it?
38
00:02:56,743 --> 00:02:59,770
Well, it's not jewelry.
Don't be worried.
39
00:02:59,846 --> 00:03:05,183
It's called Med-Alert. Now you
just press that button and listen.
40
00:03:07,087 --> 00:03:11,149
Ta-da. It's got a range
of about two miles.
41
00:03:11,224 --> 00:03:15,457
Now if you need anything, and Grady's not
around, well, you just press that buzzer,
42
00:03:15,529 --> 00:03:17,657
and the paramedics
will be here or I will.
43
00:03:17,731 --> 00:03:22,066
Now please, I want you
to humor an old doctor.
44
00:03:24,805 --> 00:03:28,708
Grady, I think it might be a good
idea to batten down the hatches...
45
00:03:28,775 --> 00:03:31,438
while the decks are still
clear. Yeah. I'll get right on it.
46
00:03:31,511 --> 00:03:36,211
Outside of a little boudoir
boredom, how do you feel?
47
00:03:36,283 --> 00:03:40,186
- Hungry.
- Let's see what this looks like.
48
00:03:40,253 --> 00:03:43,451
Grady must have bought out
every can of tuna in Cabot Cove.
49
00:03:43,523 --> 00:03:45,458
Oh, Seth, please,
for pity's sake.
50
00:03:45,525 --> 00:03:48,723
- I'll see what I can smuggle in.
- Anything.
51
00:03:48,795 --> 00:03:50,787
Good-bye.
52
00:04:28,835 --> 00:04:31,100
I had to sleep in the van.
53
00:04:31,171 --> 00:04:34,835
Damn carburetor went out on
County Road 26. Hello? Hello?
54
00:04:34,908 --> 00:04:39,505
I checked out the estate, and it didn't
look like no problem. Excuse me, but, uh...
55
00:04:39,579 --> 00:04:43,607
The estate? Are you crazy?
Anyone could have seen you.
56
00:04:45,418 --> 00:04:47,614
Relax. There was nobody around.
57
00:04:47,687 --> 00:04:51,146
And none of the locals is gonna
recognize me. I ain't shaved for months.
58
00:04:51,224 --> 00:04:53,420
I'm-I'm terribly sorry. It
must be the storm, but I...
59
00:04:53,493 --> 00:04:56,725
Okay, but the old man
must be killed tonight!
60
00:04:56,797 --> 00:04:59,790
Well, the price has gone up.
25,000 grand, cash in advance.
61
00:04:59,866 --> 00:05:02,859
Grady! 25,000 in advance?
62
00:05:02,936 --> 00:05:04,871
Hey, I got expenses.
63
00:05:04,938 --> 00:05:07,965
Bought a new Mark IV, so the old goat
can die in style. Grady, come quickly!
64
00:05:08,041 --> 00:05:10,977
We made a deal.
Don't try to hold me up.
65
00:05:11,044 --> 00:05:13,172
Oh, great.
66
00:05:13,246 --> 00:05:17,513
Yeah, I'll get it one way or another.
From you or from the old man.
67
00:05:17,584 --> 00:05:21,282
Bet he'd be real surprised if he shook
the family tree and a murderer fell out.
68
00:05:21,354 --> 00:05:24,290
- I got it.
- No! No, the phone. Listen.
69
00:05:24,357 --> 00:05:26,292
What about it?
70
00:05:26,359 --> 00:05:28,692
Well, listen! What do you hear?
71
00:05:30,597 --> 00:05:33,328
A dial tone? I've
got to warn Amos.
72
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,926
Aunt Jess, what is it?
73
00:05:39,906 --> 00:05:41,898
What's all the excitement, Jess?
74
00:05:41,975 --> 00:05:43,807
Busy. Oh, dear.
75
00:05:43,877 --> 00:05:45,971
Well, what are you
so het up about?
76
00:05:47,714 --> 00:05:51,310
- Murder. I've gotta write
this down before I forget it.
- Forget what?
77
00:05:51,384 --> 00:05:55,048
- The murder plot.
- Now that is a good idea.
78
00:05:55,121 --> 00:05:58,455
Yes, you should do some
more work on a new book.
79
00:05:58,525 --> 00:06:01,984
- It would take your mind
off your troubles.
- I'm not talking about a book, Seth.
80
00:06:02,062 --> 00:06:07,023
I'm talking about a plot. A real plot to
kill someone. I just heard it on the phone.
81
00:06:08,401 --> 00:06:10,666
I am not crazy. I
know what I heard.
82
00:06:10,737 --> 00:06:13,730
Seth, I picked up the phone
to dial the weather service.
83
00:06:13,807 --> 00:06:16,034
Now somehow the lines
got crossed, and I heard
84
00:06:16,058 --> 00:06:18,211
two men plotting to
kill an old man tonight.
85
00:06:18,278 --> 00:06:21,043
And I have got to warn Amos.
86
00:06:22,115 --> 00:06:24,846
Oh, good Lord.
The line is now dead.
87
00:06:24,918 --> 00:06:28,252
Look, one of you has got to find Amos
and warn him about this hired killer.
88
00:06:28,321 --> 00:06:31,052
Hired killer? A hit man?
Here in Cabot Cove?
89
00:06:31,124 --> 00:06:33,559
Stop it, both of you!
90
00:06:33,627 --> 00:06:35,960
Oh, I'm-I'm-I'm sorry. I...
91
00:06:36,029 --> 00:06:39,557
Please, I've-I've-I've-I've
got to talk to Amos right away.
92
00:06:39,633 --> 00:06:41,568
All right, Jessica. All right.
93
00:06:41,635 --> 00:06:45,470
You just lie back and relax,
and we will contact Amos for you.
94
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,371
Yes, we'll do it right away too.
95
00:06:51,177 --> 00:06:53,646
Oh, boy. I was afraid of this.
96
00:06:53,713 --> 00:06:56,774
Yesterday I caught her watching
a rerun of My Mother the Car.
97
00:07:00,220 --> 00:07:01,848
Operator, may I help you?
98
00:07:01,922 --> 00:07:07,156
Oh, thank goodness, Letitia.
It’s Jessica. My phone was dead.
99
00:07:07,227 --> 00:07:10,857
Yours and half the town’s,
Jess. How's that aching back?
100
00:07:10,931 --> 00:07:14,993
Well, right now it's more like a pain
in the neck. Letitia, I need your help.
101
00:07:15,068 --> 00:07:21,030
Around 2:00, my phone line was
crossed somehow with an ongoing call.
102
00:07:21,107 --> 00:07:23,770
Could you find out who made it?
103
00:07:23,843 --> 00:07:29,180
Hmm. I don't think it's traceable, Jess.
Oh, would you try? It's very important.
104
00:07:30,550 --> 00:07:34,009
And don't let that break
in the storm fool you.
105
00:07:34,087 --> 00:07:36,957
Hurricane Ida is dancin'
her way up the coast, and
106
00:07:36,981 --> 00:07:40,049
before you know it, she'll
be tangoin' in Cabot Cove.
107
00:07:41,127 --> 00:07:43,973
Do you like to tango?
I love to tango. A while
108
00:07:43,997 --> 00:07:46,930
back, I was a tango
teacher right here in town.
109
00:07:48,735 --> 00:07:51,728
You ever in my class? Naw.
110
00:07:51,805 --> 00:07:54,673
You sure look familiar.
111
00:07:54,741 --> 00:07:57,939
Let me see your
feet. Never forget feet.
112
00:07:58,011 --> 00:08:03,780
Look, lady, I don't care about
hurricanes or dancin'. All I want is for...
113
00:08:10,390 --> 00:08:14,054
Have you got a men's room? Right
through that door, turn to your left.
114
00:08:25,605 --> 00:08:27,699
Little late today,
Sheriff. Problems?
115
00:08:27,774 --> 00:08:30,266
Usual this time of year, Mona.
116
00:08:30,343 --> 00:08:34,508
Storm warnings, hurricane
watches, folks gettin' fidgety.
117
00:08:34,581 --> 00:08:39,144
Believe I'll change my order today. Let me
have a prune Danish and some milk, huh?
118
00:08:39,219 --> 00:08:44,590
Been drinkin' much too much
caffeine lately. It's bad for the system.
119
00:08:44,657 --> 00:08:47,320
- I'm just gonna wash up.
- Believe it's occupied, Amos.
120
00:08:49,896 --> 00:08:51,888
Door's open.
121
00:09:11,951 --> 00:09:15,251
For cryin' out—You crazy!
122
00:09:15,321 --> 00:09:17,256
Hey!
123
00:09:17,323 --> 00:09:21,590
Oh, great. New York
drivers even in Cabot Cove.
124
00:09:30,236 --> 00:09:35,231
Sheriff. Oh, hi,
Grady. Pull up a stool.
125
00:09:35,308 --> 00:09:38,745
How's your aunt
doin'? Oh, great, uh.
126
00:09:38,812 --> 00:09:44,080
Well, I mean, not so hot. Well,
physically, she's terrific, but, uh...
127
00:09:44,150 --> 00:09:48,554
Spit it out, son. If you've got a
problem, let me know. I'm here to help.
128
00:09:48,621 --> 00:09:54,583
Well, um—She thinks there's gonna be
a murder here in Cabot Cove. Tonight.
129
00:09:54,661 --> 00:09:58,621
Cabin fever. Had to happen. A
woman as active as Mrs. Fletcher.
130
00:09:58,698 --> 00:10:00,647
Yeah. Well, that's what
the doc and I thought,
131
00:10:00,671 --> 00:10:02,430
but I don't know.
She's really insistent.
132
00:10:02,502 --> 00:10:07,406
- Where'd she get this cockeyed idea?
- Maybe she better tell you.
133
00:10:07,474 --> 00:10:11,969
Well, with the storm on
the way, I've got plenty to do.
134
00:10:12,045 --> 00:10:15,106
But don't you worry,
son. I'll calm her down.
135
00:10:15,181 --> 00:10:18,674
I am calm. I am very calm.
136
00:10:18,751 --> 00:10:21,949
But, ma'am, a hired killer?
137
00:10:22,021 --> 00:10:26,618
Look, I heard it as clearly as I hear
you, Amos. A murder being plotted.
138
00:10:26,693 --> 00:10:29,424
Now just hold your horses.
139
00:10:29,496 --> 00:10:32,955
Even if you did hear somethin',
doesn't mean it was Cabot Cove.
140
00:10:33,032 --> 00:10:35,627
Why your line could have
been crossed up with a
141
00:10:35,651 --> 00:10:38,437
satellite feed from anywhere
in the whole country.
142
00:10:38,505 --> 00:10:40,770
Not anywhere. Cabot Cove.
143
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,605
The hired killer even
mentioned County Road 26.
144
00:10:43,676 --> 00:10:49,547
Aha! Now there you see, we don't even have
a County Route 26. Yeah, but we used to.
145
00:10:49,616 --> 00:10:54,418
Jenson Road was called County Road 26 until
it was renamed five years ago, remember?
146
00:10:54,487 --> 00:10:57,355
She has you there, Amos.
147
00:10:57,423 --> 00:11:00,860
Look, the killer said he planned
to use a Mark I Von his victim.
148
00:11:00,927 --> 00:11:03,658
He's gonna run
him down with a car?
149
00:11:03,730 --> 00:11:06,495
According to my weapons manual,
150
00:11:06,566 --> 00:11:09,900
a Mark IV is also known as
a .45 caliber colt automatic.
151
00:11:09,969 --> 00:11:13,997
- That could do the trick.
- Now look here, Mrs. Fletcher.
152
00:11:14,073 --> 00:11:16,736
You know, you've been stuck
in here an awful long time.
153
00:11:16,809 --> 00:11:19,167
Now don't you start
on me. I'm well aware
154
00:11:19,191 --> 00:11:21,747
that you two think I
am temporarily bonkers.
155
00:11:21,814 --> 00:11:24,443
Oh, that is simply not true.
156
00:11:24,517 --> 00:11:27,783
Look, it's all right. if I were in your
shoes, I'd probably be dubious too.
157
00:11:27,854 --> 00:11:31,382
But-But, Amos, you have
got to believe me about this.
158
00:11:31,457 --> 00:11:36,691
Look, from what I was able to hear
through the static and the bad connection,
159
00:11:36,763 --> 00:11:40,757
an old man living in
a Cabot Cove estate...
160
00:11:40,833 --> 00:11:46,602
is going to be shot to death tonight
by a killer with a .45 caliber automatic,
161
00:11:46,673 --> 00:11:51,304
who was hired to do the job
by a man with a raspy voice...
162
00:11:51,377 --> 00:11:53,107
Who's a member
of the victim's family.
163
00:11:53,179 --> 00:11:58,083
I don't suppose there's any harm in
lookin' into this. What do you think, Amos?
164
00:11:58,151 --> 00:12:01,918
Hmm? Oh! Right, Doc. Right.
165
00:12:01,988 --> 00:12:05,516
Don't patronize me.
166
00:12:05,592 --> 00:12:09,996
Mrs. Fletcher, now you just relax
and let me poke around, hmm?
167
00:12:11,531 --> 00:12:15,093
But as sheriff
and as your friend,
168
00:12:15,168 --> 00:12:19,799
I guarantee that no one in Cabot
Cove is gonna be murdered tonight.
169
00:12:28,715 --> 00:12:30,911
Grady! Grady, get up here fast!
170
00:12:30,984 --> 00:12:33,180
Sometime last night.
171
00:12:33,253 --> 00:12:35,540
Mr. Rogers was a widower
and the owner of the J.L.
172
00:12:35,564 --> 00:12:37,782
Rogers Lumber Mill among
various other holdings.
173
00:12:37,857 --> 00:12:40,793
Aunt Jess? What...
174
00:12:40,860 --> 00:12:43,654
To repeat, millionaire lumber
magnate Jedediah Rogers was
175
00:12:43,678 --> 00:12:46,595
found shot to death on his
estate just north of Cabot Cove.
176
00:12:46,666 --> 00:12:49,932
More details as they
become available.
177
00:13:22,502 --> 00:13:24,437
Sheriff Tupper.
178
00:13:24,504 --> 00:13:29,807
Oh, you feelin' any better? I believe
I'm ready to answer your questions now.
179
00:13:29,876 --> 00:13:32,124
I know this is a terrible
shock, and I hate
180
00:13:32,148 --> 00:13:34,473
to put you through
this, Miss Rogers, but...
181
00:13:34,547 --> 00:13:37,381
I understand. And
it's Miss Cameron.
182
00:13:37,450 --> 00:13:39,885
Oh, but I thought that—
My mother was a Rogers.
183
00:13:39,952 --> 00:13:43,354
Grandpa took me in when my mom
and dad died in a plane crash years ago.
184
00:13:43,423 --> 00:13:47,656
You and your grandfather lived alone
in this house. That right, Miss Cameron?
185
00:13:47,727 --> 00:13:50,822
Yes, I've been staying with him since I
returned from school three months ago.
186
00:13:50,897 --> 00:13:52,559
Last night, did
you hear anything?
187
00:13:52,632 --> 00:13:57,764
No. I had an early dinner,
and I fell asleep in my room.
188
00:13:58,771 --> 00:14:01,240
- Nothing woke me,
not even the storm.
- Hmm.
189
00:14:03,242 --> 00:14:09,011
Okay, I think that does it for now. And
I sure am sorry about your grandfather.
190
00:14:10,850 --> 00:14:12,785
In there.
191
00:14:16,889 --> 00:14:20,621
Well, Amos. Got a good
recipe for crow, have you?
192
00:14:20,693 --> 00:14:24,221
'Cause that's what we're gonna be eatin'
when we tell Jessica about this murder.
193
00:14:24,297 --> 00:14:27,995
Oh, come on, Doc. Don't tell me
you never heard of coincidence?
194
00:14:28,067 --> 00:14:33,335
Coincidence? 10:00 last night, an elderly
gentleman on an estate shot to death...
195
00:14:33,406 --> 00:14:35,898
by something that looks
very much like a .45?
196
00:14:35,975 --> 00:14:38,342
Sure there's some similarity,
197
00:14:38,411 --> 00:14:43,008
but Mrs. Fletcher said that her murder
would be the work of a hired killer.
198
00:14:43,082 --> 00:14:46,348
- This was the work of a burglar.
- How do you know that?
199
00:14:46,419 --> 00:14:50,356
The way the window was broken,
so he could reach in for the latch.
200
00:14:50,423 --> 00:14:55,123
Jed must've heard it, picked up that
poker and tried to fight off the intruder.
201
00:14:55,194 --> 00:14:59,029
But he was armed and shot poor
Jed before he could strike a blow.
202
00:14:59,098 --> 00:15:00,934
- I'm Morgan Rogers.
- Jessica also thought
203
00:15:00,958 --> 00:15:02,694
a member of the
family might be behind it.
204
00:15:02,769 --> 00:15:08,037
If so, your first suspect just walked
through the door. Morgan Rogers.
205
00:15:08,107 --> 00:15:11,635
Sheriff! He's all yours, Amos.
206
00:15:11,711 --> 00:15:13,873
Morgan. Doc.
207
00:15:13,946 --> 00:15:16,347
I want you to know
how sorry I am, Morgan.
208
00:15:16,416 --> 00:15:18,277
Yeah, yeah, sure.
Look, your deputy on the
209
00:15:18,301 --> 00:15:20,410
phone, he said it was
a thief. You got the guy?
210
00:15:20,486 --> 00:15:23,149
No, not yet. Damn!
211
00:15:24,157 --> 00:15:26,558
Just a sec.
212
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,787
Three weeks ago, I told
one of the boys at the lumber
213
00:15:30,811 --> 00:15:33,661
mill to install a burglar
alarm system in this place.
214
00:15:33,733 --> 00:15:36,669
You know how it is.
215
00:15:36,736 --> 00:15:40,730
You get busy, forget
to follow up, now...
216
00:15:41,941 --> 00:15:44,630
I, uh, hope you don't
mind, but I got a couple
217
00:15:44,654 --> 00:15:47,073
of questions I gotta
ask you. Sure, sure.
218
00:15:47,146 --> 00:15:51,607
You mind tellin' me where you
were last night around 10:00?
219
00:15:51,684 --> 00:15:53,983
You accusing me
of killing my daddy?
220
00:15:54,053 --> 00:15:59,583
Oh, no. No, sir. It
is my job and all.
221
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:05,421
I was at home alone
working in my woodshop.
222
00:16:05,498 --> 00:16:09,026
Right. That's good. Fine, sir.
223
00:16:09,101 --> 00:16:14,165
Now, uh, about your brothers, you told
one of my deputies that you'd notify them.
224
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,875
Well, I told Adam. Found
him down at the beach
225
00:16:16,899 --> 00:16:19,269
house havin' a little
champagne brunch...
226
00:16:19,345 --> 00:16:22,440
with some bimbo he picked
up in Portland last weekend.
227
00:16:22,515 --> 00:16:27,749
- How about Gordon?
- I left it to Adam to tell my younger
brother and that delightful wife of his.
228
00:16:27,820 --> 00:16:30,190
Uh, look, Sheriff, if there's
nothin' else, I've got quite
229
00:16:30,214 --> 00:16:32,485
a few things to attend to.
Cemetery, funeral, the will.
230
00:16:32,558 --> 00:16:34,993
Well, I— Updating the news,
231
00:16:35,061 --> 00:16:37,519
millionaire lumber baron
Jedediah Rogers was found
232
00:16:37,543 --> 00:16:40,125
shot to death this morning
in his Cabot Cove estate.
233
00:16:40,199 --> 00:16:43,795
The sheriff's department believes that
Rogers was shot by a surprised intruder.
234
00:16:43,870 --> 00:16:45,839
More details as they
become available.
235
00:16:45,905 --> 00:16:48,932
Intruder.
236
00:16:49,008 --> 00:16:52,536
Gee, I'm really sorry, Aunt Jess. I guess
you must have known him pretty well, huh?
237
00:16:52,612 --> 00:16:55,411
Actually, Grady, I only
met him a couple of times.
238
00:16:55,481 --> 00:16:59,509
He was something of a
roughneck, but I liked him.
239
00:16:59,585 --> 00:17:01,869
I never met his sons
at all. They never
240
00:17:01,893 --> 00:17:04,853
socialized much with the
rest of the Cabot Covers.
241
00:17:04,924 --> 00:17:06,859
Still busy.
242
00:17:06,926 --> 00:17:09,719
Yeah. Grady, it's
obvious that I'm gonna be
243
00:17:09,743 --> 00:17:12,888
trapped here in this
bed, but I can still think.
244
00:17:12,965 --> 00:17:15,593
And the first thing
that I think is that Amos
245
00:17:15,617 --> 00:17:18,563
Tupper is gonna need
all the help that he can get.
246
00:17:18,638 --> 00:17:23,542
- Which means I'm gonna need your help.
- Me?
247
00:17:23,609 --> 00:17:26,238
You're going to be
my eyes and ears.
248
00:17:26,312 --> 00:17:29,874
I want you to go over to the Rogers
place and find out what's going on.
249
00:17:29,949 --> 00:17:32,919
Give me a complete rundown.
250
00:17:32,985 --> 00:17:35,904
Perhaps if you could make
me a sketch of the murder
251
00:17:35,928 --> 00:17:38,583
scene and find out how
the family is reacting.
252
00:17:45,064 --> 00:17:47,033
Grady?
253
00:17:48,034 --> 00:17:51,698
It is Grady Fletcher,
right? Sure, but, uh...
254
00:17:51,771 --> 00:17:55,230
Leslie. Leslie Cameron. Oh, hi.
255
00:17:55,308 --> 00:17:57,243
Oh, gosh, you don't remember.
256
00:17:58,611 --> 00:18:01,274
Six years ago, you were
spending the summer at your aunt's.
257
00:18:01,347 --> 00:18:05,808
Andy Thomason's fishing boat. We
were stuck out on the water all night.
258
00:18:05,885 --> 00:18:09,947
- Oh, yeah, I remember that.
- You also remember
that scrawny kid in the baggy jeans?
259
00:18:10,022 --> 00:18:15,552
Face full of freckles, teeth full of
braces? That was you? Aw, come on.
260
00:18:15,628 --> 00:18:18,757
It was me. I've got
the pictures to prove it.
261
00:18:18,831 --> 00:18:24,202
- Well, what are you doin' here?
- It's where I live. I mean, I did.
262
00:18:25,304 --> 00:18:27,351
Jed Rogers was my grandfather.
263
00:18:27,375 --> 00:18:30,675
Oh, gee, I didn't know.
I'm really sorry, Leslie.
264
00:18:30,743 --> 00:18:35,181
Um—What about you? I thought
you were an accountant or something.
265
00:18:35,247 --> 00:18:38,308
Oh, I'm here helping
my Aunt Jessica.
266
00:18:38,384 --> 00:18:40,319
She thinks...
267
00:18:40,386 --> 00:18:45,154
Thinks what? That my grandfather's
death was maybe something else?
268
00:18:48,728 --> 00:18:52,893
Look, uh, can we
talk somewhere? Sure.
269
00:19:00,406 --> 00:19:05,174
Grandpa made me this swing when
I was nine, just after my parents died.
270
00:19:05,244 --> 00:19:09,477
Look, Grady, I know
this might sound strange,
271
00:19:09,548 --> 00:19:13,178
but I had a feeling something
like this was going to happen.
272
00:19:13,252 --> 00:19:18,190
What do you mean? I mean, I don't believe
for a second he was killed by any burglar.
273
00:19:18,257 --> 00:19:22,194
Ever since I came back
from Europe, it's been awful.
274
00:19:22,261 --> 00:19:27,893
Grandpa fighting with all of
them— Morgan, Adam, Gordon.
275
00:19:29,001 --> 00:19:33,405
They said he was too old to run the
business. Adam wanted him to sell out.
276
00:19:33,472 --> 00:19:35,805
Grandpa was beginning
to hate the sight of them.
277
00:19:35,875 --> 00:19:40,472
A few days ago, he told me
he was changing his will. Leslie!
278
00:19:44,917 --> 00:19:49,582
Your aunt. Does she really think
this might be murder? Uh-huh.
279
00:19:49,655 --> 00:19:52,853
I have something that might
help her, but I can't show you now.
280
00:19:52,925 --> 00:19:54,917
Leslie! Now!
281
00:19:59,298 --> 00:20:01,290
Later.
282
00:20:03,936 --> 00:20:07,011
I loved my father, Sheriff,
and you have my undivided
283
00:20:07,035 --> 00:20:09,842
cooperation in bringing
his assassin to justice.
284
00:20:09,909 --> 00:20:13,175
Morgan said he located you
at the beach house, Adam.
285
00:20:13,245 --> 00:20:16,511
Is that where you were
last night around 10:00?
286
00:20:16,582 --> 00:20:21,850
Yes, I invited a young lady up to go
sailing. Ah, Miss, um—what is her name?
287
00:20:21,921 --> 00:20:25,915
- In a hurricane?
- Well, Sheriff, since sailing
was out of the question,
288
00:20:25,991 --> 00:20:30,258
we decided on something
else that we both enjoyed.
289
00:20:31,864 --> 00:20:36,302
Sheriff, she'll be more than
happy to verify my whereabouts.
290
00:20:42,742 --> 00:20:46,110
Uh, if you'd like, I, uh, I have
her phone number in Portland.
291
00:20:46,178 --> 00:20:49,410
Do you have any idea where
your brother Gordon was last night?
292
00:20:49,482 --> 00:20:54,477
I really couldn't say. I, uh— I
just talked to his wife, Dody.
293
00:20:54,553 --> 00:20:57,717
They were at their
cabin by the lake.
294
00:20:57,790 --> 00:21:03,252
She said they'd be back right after her
prized Persian finished its afternoon nap.
295
00:21:03,329 --> 00:21:05,909
Frankly, Sheriff, if she
treated Gordon with the
296
00:21:05,933 --> 00:21:08,700
same affection she shows
that pampered little puss,
297
00:21:08,768 --> 00:21:10,645
their marriage would
look a whole lot less
298
00:21:10,669 --> 00:21:12,796
like a rerun of Who's
Afraid of Virginia Woolf.
299
00:21:12,872 --> 00:21:18,504
Now, if you'll excuse me,
Sheriff. Oh, sure thing, Mr. Rogers.
300
00:21:21,580 --> 00:21:25,483
And what was in that drawer that
both Morgan and Adam looked into?
301
00:21:25,551 --> 00:21:27,782
Nothing. It was empty.
302
00:21:27,853 --> 00:21:33,224
Grady, what is this on
the wall of your sketch?
303
00:21:33,292 --> 00:21:38,094
- Oh, that's a portrait of Leslie's
grandfather by Arliss Bygraves.
- Good likeness.
304
00:21:38,164 --> 00:21:41,760
And this is where the body was
found? Right. In front of the fireplace.
305
00:21:41,834 --> 00:21:46,829
Sure appreciate you givin' me
your tuna pot pie, Mrs. Fletcher.
306
00:21:46,906 --> 00:21:50,809
In all this excitement,
I forgot lunch.
307
00:21:50,876 --> 00:21:54,108
- Oh, you sure
you wouldn't want some?
- Positive.
308
00:21:54,180 --> 00:21:57,207
- Well, there's plenty more.
- Amos, what about
that medical report?
309
00:21:57,283 --> 00:22:02,620
Well, it's still unofficial, but Doc says
a .45 slug entered through the back.
310
00:22:02,688 --> 00:22:08,025
Doc figures that the thief shot him around
10:00. Amos, the killer was not a thief.
311
00:22:08,093 --> 00:22:13,430
Sure, he was. Got the
old fella's wallet, watch.
312
00:22:13,499 --> 00:22:16,901
And left behind a valuable painting
and that necklace in the safe?
313
00:22:16,969 --> 00:22:21,566
Oh, well, doggone it! Maybe the
burglar got scared off somehow.
314
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,137
Or maybe whoever
did it tried to make it look
315
00:22:24,161 --> 00:22:26,738
like a burglary but
didn't do a very good job.
316
00:22:26,812 --> 00:22:30,510
It was a burglar.
The broken window.
317
00:22:30,583 --> 00:22:33,075
Broken to make it look like
someone forced his way in.
318
00:22:33,152 --> 00:22:37,283
Oh, you're not gonna start that
stuff about the hired killer again.
319
00:22:37,356 --> 00:22:40,986
Was hired by a member of the
family. The man with the raspy voice.
320
00:22:41,060 --> 00:22:43,120
Come on now, Mrs. Fletcher.
321
00:22:43,195 --> 00:22:45,926
I know all three Rogers
brothers, and it doesn't
322
00:22:45,950 --> 00:22:48,532
seem to me like any of
'em has a raspy voice.
323
00:22:48,601 --> 00:22:50,934
I know what I heard Amos.
324
00:22:51,003 --> 00:22:53,241
Aunt Jess, you said yourself
it was a bad connection,
325
00:22:53,265 --> 00:22:55,270
lots of static. You
didn't really catch it all.
326
00:22:55,341 --> 00:23:00,211
Grady, I am not imagining
all this. Look, wait.
327
00:23:00,279 --> 00:23:04,341
If you're gonna hire
someone to commit murder,
328
00:23:04,416 --> 00:23:07,875
then you would make very sure
that you had an ironclad alibi.
329
00:23:07,953 --> 00:23:10,923
- Right, Amos?
- Makes sense.
330
00:23:10,990 --> 00:23:14,791
Only one problem. No one
in the family has got one.
331
00:23:14,860 --> 00:23:18,820
- What?
- No, ma'am.
332
00:23:18,898 --> 00:23:24,860
Here. Morgan, he says that he was workin'
alone in his woodshop. No witnesses.
333
00:23:24,937 --> 00:23:27,457
Adam was in the family
beach house with a
334
00:23:27,481 --> 00:23:30,274
lady from Portland
except the lady's no lady.
335
00:23:30,342 --> 00:23:33,210
She's got an arrest sheet
as long as a chorus girl's legs.
336
00:23:33,279 --> 00:23:36,943
And-And Gordon, he was
workin’ alone in the mill.
337
00:23:37,016 --> 00:23:40,111
His wife, Dody, was alone
at the cabin by the lake.
338
00:23:40,185 --> 00:23:42,552
And Leslie says she
was asleep upstairs.
339
00:23:42,621 --> 00:23:46,422
Oh, dear. But that
doesn't make any sense.
340
00:23:46,492 --> 00:23:49,428
You mean, it doesn't
fit in with your theory.
341
00:23:49,495 --> 00:23:52,465
Well, what about this
business with the desk drawer?
342
00:23:52,531 --> 00:23:56,662
That sounds very
suspicious. Yes, ma'am.
343
00:23:56,735 --> 00:23:58,854
You know, right now, I
think that we should focus
344
00:23:58,878 --> 00:24:00,934
on the hired killer
before his trail gets cold.
345
00:24:01,006 --> 00:24:05,444
If we could find him, maybe he
will lead us to the raspy voiced man.
346
00:24:05,511 --> 00:24:06,945
Yes, ma'am.
347
00:24:07,012 --> 00:24:09,811
Now on the phone, the
killer said he'd grown a
348
00:24:09,835 --> 00:24:12,781
beard so that the locals
wouldn't recognize him.
349
00:24:12,851 --> 00:24:15,045
That means he used
to live around here. Yes,
350
00:24:15,069 --> 00:24:17,186
and he hasn't been
around in five years...
351
00:24:17,256 --> 00:24:21,284
because he didn't know that County
Road 26 had had its name changed.
352
00:24:21,360 --> 00:24:24,125
Also he's driving a van
with carburetor trouble,
353
00:24:24,196 --> 00:24:27,462
so you might check with Charlie
and Gus at their service station.
354
00:24:27,533 --> 00:24:29,627
Aunt Jess.
355
00:24:30,636 --> 00:24:33,339
Yesterday, outside of
Mona's Diner, a bearded
356
00:24:33,363 --> 00:24:35,665
guy in a white van
nearly ran me down.
357
00:24:41,380 --> 00:24:43,747
Yeah, that's right, Gus.
358
00:24:43,816 --> 00:24:47,378
Big fella, wearin' a beard, drivin'
a white van with New York plates.
359
00:24:47,453 --> 00:24:53,120
Now if he comes in, you call me back
and stall him till I get there. Thanks.
360
00:24:55,728 --> 00:24:57,720
Sheriff Tupper. Amos.
361
00:24:57,796 --> 00:24:59,822
I just got off the
phone with Mona.
362
00:24:59,898 --> 00:25:03,562
That bearded stranger that was in her diner
yesterday, I think it was Abel Gorcey.
363
00:25:03,635 --> 00:25:06,867
Gorcey? Gorcey. You remember.
364
00:25:06,939 --> 00:25:09,099
He worked at Rogers Mill
until Jed caught him stealing.
365
00:25:09,141 --> 00:25:13,476
That's right! And Jed’s testimony
put him in prison for— Five years.
366
00:25:13,545 --> 00:25:16,982
And if you recall, after the trial, Gorcey
swore he'd kill Jed when he got out.
367
00:25:17,049 --> 00:25:20,713
Great work, Mrs. Fletcher.
Looks like I've found my killer.
368
00:25:20,786 --> 00:25:23,915
Call you back as soon as we
track him down. Bye, Amos.
369
00:25:23,989 --> 00:25:29,121
Charlie. Pull the Abel Gorcey
file, get out an A.P.B. on him.
370
00:25:29,194 --> 00:25:33,063
He's wearin' a beard now, and he's
drivin' a white van with New York plates.
371
00:25:33,132 --> 00:25:36,694
Gordon, you're not jealous
of my prize Persian already?
372
00:25:36,769 --> 00:25:39,762
- I've only had little Muffmuff a week.
- But, Dody—
373
00:25:39,838 --> 00:25:41,780
And after all the channels
I went through to document
374
00:25:41,804 --> 00:25:43,918
Muffmuff's lineage, you keep
your runny nose to yourself.
375
00:25:43,942 --> 00:25:46,070
Did you ever think he
might be allergic to you?
376
00:25:46,145 --> 00:25:48,944
Better look out, Gordon, or you’re
gonna be sleeping in the basement.
377
00:25:49,014 --> 00:25:50,949
Funny, A dam. Excuse me.
378
00:25:51,016 --> 00:25:54,885
Listen, Dody, I'm sorry, but I'm
going to have to hold fast on this.
379
00:25:54,953 --> 00:25:58,822
Don't be ridiculous,
Gordon. Folks, please.
380
00:25:58,891 --> 00:26:02,350
My apologies, Sheriff.
Uh, we came to find out if...
381
00:26:02,428 --> 00:26:06,456
We came to find out what you're doing to
catch the thief that killed our dear Jed.
382
00:26:06,532 --> 00:26:08,524
Doin' everything
possible, Mrs. Rogers.
383
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,695
We're sure you are,
Sheriff, but we feel that, uh...
384
00:26:11,770 --> 00:26:15,434
Actually, all of us feel that this case
has gotten bigger than Cabot Cove.
385
00:26:15,507 --> 00:26:19,945
We'd like you to bring a special state
investigator in just to give you a hand.
386
00:26:20,012 --> 00:26:23,574
No need for that. Practically
got a suspect in custody.
387
00:26:23,649 --> 00:26:24,728
Oh, really? Who?
388
00:26:24,752 --> 00:26:27,814
Sheriff, I've got the
A.P.B. out on Abel Gorcey.
389
00:26:31,190 --> 00:26:34,183
Abel Gorcey? What's
he got to do with this?
390
00:26:35,828 --> 00:26:39,560
Hello?
391
00:26:39,631 --> 00:26:43,932
Jessica, Letitia. I'm really
sorry, but I've tried everything.
392
00:26:44,002 --> 00:26:48,440
Fraid that 2:00 p.m. you accidentally
overheard just isn't traceable.
393
00:26:48,507 --> 00:26:52,603
Yeah. Well, I appreciate
your help. Thank you for trying.
394
00:26:52,678 --> 00:26:54,579
Oh-oh, hold on a
second, Jessica. Sheriff
395
00:26:54,603 --> 00:26:56,809
Tupper wants to make an
emergency breakthrough.
396
00:26:56,882 --> 00:26:58,817
I'll connect you right up.
397
00:26:58,884 --> 00:27:03,686
Mrs. Fletcher? We got him.
What is it, Amos? Got who?
398
00:27:03,755 --> 00:27:07,522
Abel Gorcey. I'm on my way
up to the cabin at Red Rock Bluff.
399
00:27:07,593 --> 00:27:10,495
That white van was spotted
there about 20 minutes ago.
400
00:27:29,581 --> 00:27:32,380
Charlie, you two come
around behind from the left.
401
00:27:32,451 --> 00:27:35,512
You and I will come in from the
right. And don't let him see ya.
402
00:27:47,266 --> 00:27:50,134
Abel Gorcey! This is
Sheriff Amos Tupper.
403
00:27:50,202 --> 00:27:54,003
Throw out your weapon and come
out. We've got you surrounded.
404
00:28:05,450 --> 00:28:08,648
Gorcey, come on out
with your hands up!
405
00:28:10,055 --> 00:28:13,025
Sheriff! Not now, Charlie.
406
00:28:14,026 --> 00:28:17,554
Sheriff! I don't think
he can hear you. Hmm?
407
00:28:38,884 --> 00:28:42,218
- He fell down the stairs?
- That's the way I see it.
408
00:28:42,287 --> 00:28:45,279
After he shot Jed,
Gorcey got himself drunk
409
00:28:45,303 --> 00:28:48,249
and tumbled down
those steps to his glory.
410
00:28:48,327 --> 00:28:52,458
Call it poetic justice.
That seems very strange.
411
00:28:52,531 --> 00:28:57,401
Nothin' strange about it.
Gorcey was the killer all right.
412
00:28:57,469 --> 00:29:00,769
Amos, I stand in awe of
your gift for blind certainty,
413
00:29:00,839 --> 00:29:04,742
but as so often happens,
you are dead wrong.
414
00:29:04,810 --> 00:29:07,803
What? Seth, what is it?
What have you learned?
415
00:29:07,879 --> 00:29:13,318
Very simply, there is no way that Abel
Gorcey could have killed Jed Rogers.
416
00:29:13,385 --> 00:29:15,911
Rogers died about 10:00.
417
00:29:15,988 --> 00:29:20,756
Now I triple-checked my findings,
and I'm sorry to tell you, Amos,
418
00:29:20,826 --> 00:29:23,694
that Gorcey cracked
his skull at around 7:00.
419
00:29:23,762 --> 00:29:26,459
Three hours before
Rogers was shot to death.
420
00:29:26,531 --> 00:29:30,161
What do you mean he was dead before
Jed Rogers was shot? He was the killer!
421
00:29:30,235 --> 00:29:32,795
Seth, are you sure?
422
00:29:32,871 --> 00:29:35,136
Yeah, I'm positive, Jess.
423
00:29:36,708 --> 00:29:39,196
Well, I certainly would
like to stay around
424
00:29:39,220 --> 00:29:41,908
and watch Amos work
his foot out of his mouth,
425
00:29:41,980 --> 00:29:46,441
but Hurricane Ida is closing
in, and the evac center beckons.
426
00:29:46,518 --> 00:29:49,784
Now I want you to rest.
427
00:29:49,855 --> 00:29:52,825
And I want you to let her.
428
00:29:54,793 --> 00:29:58,195
- Be seein' you.
- Good-bye, Seth.
429
00:29:58,263 --> 00:30:01,165
Is there somethin'
wrong, Aunt Jess?
430
00:30:01,233 --> 00:30:03,851
Grady, don't you think
it's a little suspicious that
431
00:30:03,875 --> 00:30:06,365
a hired killer accidentally
falls to his death...
432
00:30:06,438 --> 00:30:08,532
mere hours before
the deed was done?
433
00:30:08,607 --> 00:30:13,045
Oh, now, Mrs. Fletcher, don't you even
say it. You mean he was murdered too?
434
00:30:13,111 --> 00:30:16,673
But why? Why murder
your hired killer?
435
00:30:16,748 --> 00:30:21,049
Maybe blackmail, Amos. During the
phone call, Gorcey more than hinted at it.
436
00:30:21,119 --> 00:30:25,056
Perhaps when the raspy-voiced man
delivered the demanded cash in advance,
437
00:30:25,123 --> 00:30:28,890
the blackmail question was
raised again, and Gorcey was killed.
438
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:32,362
If you ask me, you're
fishin' without bait.
439
00:30:32,431 --> 00:30:36,596
There was no sign of foul play.
An accident, plain and simple.
440
00:30:36,668 --> 00:30:40,380
Well, either way, we've got a problem.
If Gorcey didn't kill Jed Rogers, who did?
441
00:30:40,404 --> 00:30:41,800
The man with the raspy voice.
442
00:30:41,873 --> 00:30:44,672
Yeah, he had no choice
but to kill Jed himself,
443
00:30:44,743 --> 00:30:48,077
because you remember, he said,
"The old man must be killed tonight."
444
00:30:48,146 --> 00:30:50,035
But it could have been
any one of the three
445
00:30:50,059 --> 00:30:52,106
sons because none of
them really had an alibi.
446
00:30:52,184 --> 00:30:56,178
And I keep tellin' you that none
of these fellas has a raspy voice.
447
00:30:56,254 --> 00:31:00,191
Yeah, I know, I know. But, you know,
I've never actually spoken to any of them.
448
00:31:00,258 --> 00:31:02,375
And, Amos, what sounds
like a raspy voice to
449
00:31:02,399 --> 00:31:04,491
me might not sound
like a raspy one to you.
450
00:31:04,563 --> 00:31:07,354
Yeah. I suppose it
would be useful if you
451
00:31:07,378 --> 00:31:10,400
could give a listen to
what they sound like.
452
00:31:11,403 --> 00:31:15,864
Say, maybe I could
wire myself for sound.
453
00:31:15,941 --> 00:31:20,003
Tape their voices,
kinda incognito-like, huh?
454
00:31:20,078 --> 00:31:22,843
You know, Aunt Jess,
that's not a bad idea.
455
00:31:26,585 --> 00:31:28,918
Well, I-I suppose it might work.
456
00:31:28,987 --> 00:31:30,922
Ah, I'll get right on it.
457
00:31:30,989 --> 00:31:33,375
Oh, Amos, while you're
recording their voices,
458
00:31:33,399 --> 00:31:35,757
why don’t you get their
alibis for 7:00 p.m.?
459
00:31:35,827 --> 00:31:40,925
The time of Gorcey's "accident,"
just in case there was foul play.
460
00:31:40,999 --> 00:31:45,198
Mm-hmm. Just in case, huh?
461
00:31:48,006 --> 00:31:51,134
Grady, there's something
else that needs exploring,
462
00:31:51,158 --> 00:31:53,877
and I need you to do
it. Oh, sure. Anything.
463
00:31:53,945 --> 00:31:58,212
Gorcey demanded
$25,000 in advance in cash,
464
00:31:58,283 --> 00:32:01,276
which means the person who hired
him had to get it from somewhere.
465
00:32:01,353 --> 00:32:03,288
The bank. Sure.
466
00:32:03,355 --> 00:32:06,503
See if Amos can discreetly
find out if one of the suspects
467
00:32:06,527 --> 00:32:09,317
had made a large withdrawal
in the past week or so.
468
00:32:09,394 --> 00:32:12,762
- Okay.
- Then I want you to go see Leslie.
469
00:32:12,831 --> 00:32:17,166
Ask her about that desk drawer that
her uncles seemed so interested in.
470
00:32:17,235 --> 00:32:20,034
They were looking
for something, all right.
471
00:32:21,039 --> 00:32:26,671
That's why I hid it...
where they couldn't... find it.
472
00:32:30,949 --> 00:32:32,941
A diary? Grandpa'd
been keeping it for months.
473
00:32:33,018 --> 00:32:35,020
He was sure one of my
uncles was reading it, so
474
00:32:35,044 --> 00:32:37,114
a few days ago he gave
it to me for safekeeping.
475
00:32:37,189 --> 00:32:40,250
Boy, he sure didn't
like his sons much. No.
476
00:32:40,325 --> 00:32:43,352
Grady, it contains all the changes
he was going to make in his will.
477
00:32:43,428 --> 00:32:47,126
He'd planned to meet with his
lawyer the morning he was found dead.
478
00:32:47,199 --> 00:32:50,601
He cut everyone out of the will except
me. Your uncles knew about this?
479
00:32:50,669 --> 00:32:53,605
Everything. The changes and
when he was planning to make them.
480
00:32:55,907 --> 00:32:59,071
I don't care about the
money. I really don't.
481
00:32:59,144 --> 00:33:04,014
I just want to get away from here. Go
to New York to fashion design school.
482
00:33:04,082 --> 00:33:07,883
The only reason I was staying
was because of Grandpa.
483
00:33:12,491 --> 00:33:16,292
You're not going back to Paris?
No, I wanna get on with my life.
484
00:33:16,361 --> 00:33:19,388
I guess she'll be
pretty rich, huh?
485
00:33:19,464 --> 00:33:23,526
I don't think so, Grady. Jed
never actually changed his will.
486
00:33:23,602 --> 00:33:26,335
Either way, it doesn't
narrow our list of suspects
487
00:33:26,359 --> 00:33:29,337
since all three brothers
were to be cut from the will.
488
00:33:29,407 --> 00:33:33,777
Did Amos learn anything from the
bank? Naw. It's a dead end, Aunt Jess.
489
00:33:33,845 --> 00:33:36,508
He said he double-checked the
accounts for the three brothers.
490
00:33:36,581 --> 00:33:40,518
No major withdrawals in the past two
months. It just doesn't make any sense.
491
00:33:40,585 --> 00:33:44,681
Unless whomever hired Gorcey
never intended to pay him.
492
00:33:44,756 --> 00:33:46,918
You lost me.
493
00:33:46,992 --> 00:33:49,692
I thought it was strange
to hire a killer who publicly
494
00:33:49,716 --> 00:33:52,693
threatened Jed Rogers's life
instead of a complete unknown.
495
00:33:54,232 --> 00:34:00,194
But it would make sense if the plan was to
shoot Gorcey in the act of murdering Jed.
496
00:34:13,919 --> 00:34:16,643
Look, Sheriff, I'm sorry, but
I really have to complete this
497
00:34:16,667 --> 00:34:19,415
quarterly inventory analysis
by the close of business today.
498
00:34:19,491 --> 00:34:21,426
Excuse me.
499
00:34:22,761 --> 00:34:27,597
Analysis? He's
counting two-by-fours.
500
00:34:27,666 --> 00:34:30,898
Won't be but a few seconds.
I'm just tryin' to get the facts.
501
00:34:30,969 --> 00:34:33,529
Allow me, Sheriff.
502
00:34:33,605 --> 00:34:38,908
From 5:00 to 8:00, we were dining
at Mona's with the union supervisor.
503
00:34:38,977 --> 00:34:42,470
We weren't dining.
We were negotiating.
504
00:34:42,547 --> 00:34:44,948
What-What the hell are you
gettin' at anyway, Tupper?
505
00:34:45,016 --> 00:34:48,976
Everybody knows Abel
Gorcey killed Daddy. Fraid not.
506
00:34:49,054 --> 00:34:52,855
He was dead three hours
before your daddy was shot.
507
00:34:52,924 --> 00:34:56,326
And even though he didn't
live long enough to do the job,
508
00:34:56,394 --> 00:35:00,559
I have it on good authority that
Gorcey was hired to kill your daddy.
509
00:35:00,632 --> 00:35:02,794
What "good authority"?
510
00:35:02,867 --> 00:35:05,704
Jessica Fletcher's. She
overheard a phone call
511
00:35:05,728 --> 00:35:08,465
where Gorcey was hired
to commit the murder.
512
00:35:12,177 --> 00:35:14,976
Hey, the news crew isn't
gonna hang around forever.
513
00:35:15,046 --> 00:35:18,312
So if you want to be on television,
you better get out there now.
514
00:35:19,918 --> 00:35:23,252
Now look, Amos, I think
Fletcher's confusing fiction with fact.
515
00:35:23,321 --> 00:35:28,157
You tell her Morgan Rogers says
to mind her own business, huh?
516
00:35:30,795 --> 00:35:33,263
Well, come on, fellas,
let's go show the world
517
00:35:33,287 --> 00:35:35,995
how nice we are before
that damn storm hits again.
518
00:35:51,416 --> 00:35:54,545
Wow. Hurricane Ida's not
fooling around this time.
519
00:35:54,619 --> 00:35:58,454
Sounds almost as bad in
here as it looks out there.
520
00:35:58,523 --> 00:36:02,688
Havin' a few technical
snafus is all, Doc.
521
00:36:02,761 --> 00:36:06,027
Now, the first one you're
gonna hear is Gordon.
522
00:36:06,097 --> 00:36:07,909
Sheriff, I'm sorry, but I have
to complete this quarterly
523
00:36:07,933 --> 00:36:09,543
inventory analysis by the
close of business today.
524
00:36:09,567 --> 00:36:12,401
No, that's not the man I
heard on the telephone.
525
00:36:12,470 --> 00:36:14,405
Can't figure why
this is happening.
526
00:36:14,472 --> 00:36:19,001
There. Next one you're
gonna hear is Adam's voice.
527
00:36:19,077 --> 00:36:22,047
Or Amos's digestive system.
528
00:36:22,113 --> 00:36:25,550
From 5:00 to 8:00, we
were dining at Mona's...
529
00:36:25,617 --> 00:36:29,520
Now that doesn't sound right
either. Mm-mmm. No, it doesn't.
530
00:36:29,587 --> 00:36:32,159
I thought I detected a
slight murmur. Perhaps
531
00:36:32,183 --> 00:36:34,548
you ought to come in
for a checkup, Amos.
532
00:36:34,626 --> 00:36:37,562
Everybody knows Abel
Gorcey killed Daddy.
533
00:36:37,629 --> 00:36:39,564
Oh, fraid not.
534
00:36:39,631 --> 00:36:41,532
Thank you, Jessica.
535
00:36:41,599 --> 00:36:43,534
It was a good try, Amos.
536
00:36:43,601 --> 00:36:45,663
In fact, good enough
to tell me that none of
537
00:36:45,687 --> 00:36:47,868
those voices was the
one I heard on the phone.
538
00:36:47,939 --> 00:36:49,908
Look, maybe I was wrong.
539
00:36:49,974 --> 00:36:54,036
Maybe the raspy voice belongs
to someone else. A fourth party.
540
00:36:54,112 --> 00:36:56,638
Maybe the voice on
the phone was disguised.
541
00:36:56,715 --> 00:36:59,342
Why? Gorcey knew
who he was dealing with,
542
00:36:59,366 --> 00:37:02,211
and they didn't know
that I was on the line.
543
00:37:02,287 --> 00:37:05,274
Well, one thing's for
sure. All three brothers had
544
00:37:05,298 --> 00:37:08,249
an ironclad alibi for the
time of Gorcey's death.
545
00:37:08,326 --> 00:37:11,450
Mona confirmed it. All
three were sittin' there
546
00:37:11,474 --> 00:37:14,288
in her diner, arguin'
with a union bigwig.
547
00:37:14,365 --> 00:37:19,736
Well, I still can't believe that Abel
Gorcey's death was accidental.
548
00:37:19,804 --> 00:37:22,171
Aw, doggone it, Mrs. Fletcher.
549
00:37:22,240 --> 00:37:24,800
Why can't you just accept
the fact? Quiet, A-Amos!
550
00:37:24,876 --> 00:37:26,811
Hmm? Shh.
551
00:37:26,878 --> 00:37:30,337
Our family feels a terrible
loss, that goes without saying.
552
00:37:30,415 --> 00:37:33,977
But our grief has
brought us closer together.
553
00:37:36,054 --> 00:37:39,718
He sure is allergic to that cat.
554
00:37:39,791 --> 00:37:41,817
Of course. Listen.
555
00:37:41,893 --> 00:37:44,321
But we have complete confidence
556
00:37:44,345 --> 00:37:46,797
in Sheriff Tupper's
ability to handle the case.
557
00:37:46,865 --> 00:37:50,302
That's him. That-That-That's the
raspy voice I heard on the phone.
558
00:37:51,669 --> 00:37:57,506
We're sure that, uh, whoever killed
Father will soon be brought to justice.
559
00:37:57,575 --> 00:37:59,737
That's him.
560
00:38:06,985 --> 00:38:09,682
Aunt Jess, I am
really proud of you.
561
00:38:09,754 --> 00:38:11,727
If you hadn't overheard
that phone call and
562
00:38:11,751 --> 00:38:13,748
been able to identify
Gordon Roger's voice,
563
00:38:13,825 --> 00:38:15,760
he'd have gotten
away with murder.
564
00:38:15,827 --> 00:38:20,322
Well, I'm just sorry that I
couldn't have prevented a murder.
565
00:38:20,398 --> 00:38:22,833
There you are.
Grady, really I...
566
00:38:22,901 --> 00:38:24,995
No, it's not tuna.
567
00:38:26,004 --> 00:38:27,996
Pepperoni pizza
for the star witness.
568
00:38:28,072 --> 00:38:31,770
Grady, I could kiss you.
In fact, I think I'm going to.
569
00:38:31,843 --> 00:38:33,835
No. No. You're not
supposed to lean forward.
570
00:38:33,912 --> 00:38:35,972
Allow me.
571
00:38:36,047 --> 00:38:37,131
Anybody home?
572
00:38:37,155 --> 00:38:41,145
No, we went for a jog in
the rain! Come on up, Seth.
573
00:38:41,219 --> 00:38:43,476
You know, this is a
first for me. I've never
574
00:38:43,500 --> 00:38:45,884
seen a night that ain't
fit for man nor beast.
575
00:38:45,957 --> 00:38:47,892
Well, that doesn't
stop Seth Hazlett.
576
00:38:47,959 --> 00:38:53,227
That's a real doozy
blowing out there, folks.
577
00:38:53,298 --> 00:38:57,360
Did you hear from Amos? Not yet. He said
he'd call when he had Gordon in custody.
578
00:38:57,435 --> 00:39:00,769
Pizza, Doc? No. No, thanks.
I'm on my way down to the harbor.
579
00:39:00,839 --> 00:39:03,673
I just thought I'd stop in and check
up on my patient. Flooding again?
580
00:39:03,741 --> 00:39:08,145
Yep, and the sandbaggin' crew is
runnin' a-might short on manpower.
581
00:39:08,213 --> 00:39:12,173
- I'll lend you a hand, Doc.
- Well, thank you, Grady, but I'd rather
have you stay here with Jess.
582
00:39:12,250 --> 00:39:15,914
Oh, don't be silly. I'm fine. Grady
is needed down at the harbor.
583
00:39:15,987 --> 00:39:18,422
- Are you sure, Aunt Jess?
- Oh, positive.
584
00:39:18,489 --> 00:39:21,220
I'll get my jacket.
585
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:24,495
Oh, I almost forgot.
586
00:39:24,562 --> 00:39:29,159
Say, Letitia brought this over to my
place. Told me to bring it down to you.
587
00:39:29,234 --> 00:39:33,228
Ah, yes, the computer records from
the phone company. A little bit late.
588
00:39:35,773 --> 00:39:39,608
Something on your mind, Jess?
589
00:39:39,677 --> 00:39:44,741
Do you ever get the feeling that
you've overlooked something obvious?
590
00:39:44,816 --> 00:39:46,944
That you've, uh, done
something wrong?
591
00:39:47,018 --> 00:39:51,718
Yeah. Every time I
vote for Amos. Why?
592
00:39:51,789 --> 00:39:55,191
Abel Gorcey's death.
593
00:39:55,260 --> 00:39:58,992
You see, Gordon couldn't
possibly have been involved, but...
594
00:39:59,063 --> 00:40:03,023
Well, I still can't believe
that it was an accident.
595
00:40:03,101 --> 00:40:06,401
Woman, quit your fussin'. That
murder business is over and done with.
596
00:40:06,471 --> 00:40:08,463
Okay. All set, Doc.
We'll be back soon.
597
00:40:08,539 --> 00:40:11,151
And don't worry, Aunt Jess. I'll
lock the front door on the way out.
598
00:40:11,175 --> 00:40:14,839
I'll be by to check on you tomorrow
promptly. Now, Jess, you rest.
599
00:40:14,913 --> 00:40:19,374
And you'll be careful, you two.
600
00:40:32,630 --> 00:40:35,532
Hello?
601
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:37,592
Mrs. Fletcher? Amos here.
602
00:40:37,669 --> 00:40:42,573
Just wanted to tell you our man is in
custody as we speak. Good work, Amos.
603
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:44,575
Nasty night out.
604
00:40:44,642 --> 00:40:47,908
You better get that nephew of
yours to fasten the place down, okay?
605
00:40:47,979 --> 00:40:50,278
Well, he and Seth have gone
to help sandbag the harbor.
606
00:40:50,348 --> 00:40:52,340
You sure you're gonna
be all right alone?
607
00:40:52,417 --> 00:40:56,616
Thank you for your - Concern,
Amos. I'll be absolutely fine.
608
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:57,117
Okay.
609
00:40:57,188 --> 00:41:02,058
Be by in the morning to get Jed’s
diary. Be needin' that for evidence.
610
00:41:02,126 --> 00:41:06,154
That and your testimony'll be sending
Gordon away for a long, long time.
611
00:41:06,230 --> 00:41:09,166
Well, I'll see you
tomorrow, Amos.
612
00:41:25,917 --> 00:41:29,410
Hello?
613
00:41:29,487 --> 00:41:31,649
Jess? I didn't
want to disturb you,
614
00:41:31,723 --> 00:41:34,557
but I thought I'd find out
if your phone is workin'.
615
00:41:34,625 --> 00:41:37,288
Well, it is now. Lines
are down all over town.
616
00:41:37,362 --> 00:41:39,490
Our repair crew's got
more than it can handle.
617
00:41:39,564 --> 00:41:43,399
Oh, did you get the phone records I
sent with Seth? Oh, yes, yes, thank you.
618
00:41:43,468 --> 00:41:46,700
Ah. I was just looking
at the one that confirms...
619
00:41:46,771 --> 00:41:52,540
the 2:00 p.m. call at Gorcey's
cabin, the one that crossed my line.
620
00:41:52,610 --> 00:41:56,240
Well, that was placed from Gordon
Rogers's private line at the mill.
621
00:41:56,314 --> 00:41:58,545
Glad I could finally be of help.
622
00:41:58,616 --> 00:42:03,577
Yes, but here on the same record, it
says that someone made a 30-minute call...
623
00:42:03,654 --> 00:42:07,887
from Gordon's mill
line at 10:00 p.m.
624
00:42:07,959 --> 00:42:11,862
Now that is the exact time that
Jed was murdered at the estate.
625
00:42:11,929 --> 00:42:15,093
Gordon made that call.
Yeah, but he couldn't have.
626
00:42:15,166 --> 00:42:18,500
I'm afraid you're wrong there,
Jessica. He made it all right.
627
00:42:18,569 --> 00:42:22,529
Person-to-person out of state.
Placed the call myself. Oh, dear.
628
00:42:22,607 --> 00:42:26,908
Letitia, can-can you get me
Amos? He has the wrong killer.
629
00:42:28,946 --> 00:42:33,213
Letitia? Oh, dear Lord.
Don't go dead on me now.
630
00:42:36,454 --> 00:42:38,389
Hello?
631
00:42:42,226 --> 00:42:44,354
Oh, no.
632
00:42:58,543 --> 00:42:59,977
Grady?
633
00:44:19,190 --> 00:44:21,785
Now don't-don't be foolish.
634
00:44:21,859 --> 00:44:24,226
Uh, the police are coming.
635
00:44:24,295 --> 00:44:28,062
You-you-you can't kill me the
way you killed the others, Dody!
636
00:44:29,267 --> 00:44:31,498
I want the diary now.
637
00:44:39,443 --> 00:44:41,571
Oh.
638
00:45:13,811 --> 00:45:17,270
Seth, I'll never question
doctor's orders again.
639
00:45:17,348 --> 00:45:19,454
I guess that little gizmo
came in handy after
640
00:45:19,478 --> 00:45:21,513
all. Sure stopped
Dody in the nick of time.
641
00:45:21,586 --> 00:45:23,612
I suspected Dody
right off the bat.
642
00:45:23,688 --> 00:45:28,683
Forgetting Amos's bat, when
did you realize Dody was the killer?
643
00:45:28,759 --> 00:45:30,694
When it was too late.
644
00:45:30,761 --> 00:45:32,936
As soon as Letitia told me
Gordon was on the phone
645
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:35,028
when Jed was killed, I
knew that we were wrong.
646
00:45:35,099 --> 00:45:37,454
And then I realized
it was the 2:00 call
647
00:45:37,478 --> 00:45:40,094
from the mill that got
crossed with my line.
648
00:45:40,171 --> 00:45:44,199
Dody was supposed to have been at
the lake cabin, but she couldn't have been.
649
00:45:44,275 --> 00:45:47,293
She had to have been
with Gordon, with the cat, or
650
00:45:47,317 --> 00:45:50,237
Gordon wouldn't have
sounded raspy on the phone.
651
00:45:50,314 --> 00:45:53,250
Which meant she knew all about
Abel Gorcey and the murder plot.
652
00:45:53,317 --> 00:45:55,877
Knowing Dody, it
was probably her idea.
653
00:45:55,953 --> 00:45:57,888
Oh, I'm sure it was.
654
00:45:57,955 --> 00:46:02,655
At 7:00, she got rid of a potential
blackmailer, Abel Gorcey, took his gun,
655
00:46:02,727 --> 00:46:05,219
and at 10:00, she
killed Jed Rogers.
656
00:46:05,296 --> 00:46:08,061
Before the old man
could change his will.
657
00:46:08,132 --> 00:46:12,593
Well, now that all that's settled, I
have an announcement to make.
658
00:46:12,670 --> 00:46:17,665
I've decided that lying around in
bed can be hazardous to my health,
659
00:46:17,742 --> 00:46:21,543
so tomorrow morning,
I'm gonna be up and about.
660
00:46:21,612 --> 00:46:24,081
- Ah, Jess.
- Don't Jess me, Seth Hazlett.
661
00:46:24,148 --> 00:46:26,811
And as for you, Grady,
your services are terminated.
662
00:46:26,884 --> 00:46:30,446
I want you packed and on
the 5:30 bus to Boston tonight.
663
00:46:30,521 --> 00:46:33,685
Tonight? Aunt Jess, I—
Not another word. Scoot!
664
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:38,889
Okay. Sure.
665
00:46:40,665 --> 00:46:42,657
Oh, oh, uh, and-and Grady?
666
00:46:42,733 --> 00:46:45,760
Ah, Leslie called
about an hour ago.
667
00:46:45,836 --> 00:46:50,865
She told me to tell you that she's
planning to be on the 5:30 also.
668
00:46:50,941 --> 00:46:53,968
Something about
going to New York?
669
00:47:01,786 --> 00:47:03,721
Right.
