1
00:00:01,568 --> 00:00:03,662
- [Woman] Tonight on Murder, She Wrote.
- Oh!
2
00:00:03,737 --> 00:00:07,003
No way are you gonna convince
me one of my boys could kill a man.
3
00:00:07,074 --> 00:00:10,704
- You coached him. I taught him.
- Jessie, that was 20 years ago.
4
00:00:10,777 --> 00:00:13,212
Neither of you would want
to see a murder go unsolved.
5
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,182
Where did you get the
$50,000 to start with?
6
00:00:16,250 --> 00:00:19,186
You ask that question again— to
me or anybody else— and I'll sue you.
7
00:00:19,253 --> 00:00:21,085
[Tires Screeching]
8
00:00:21,154 --> 00:00:24,386
He was almost killed last
night in the car—run off the road.
9
00:00:24,458 --> 00:00:27,053
What is going on between me and
my wife is none of your business.
10
00:00:27,127 --> 00:00:28,857
I don't like what
you're getting at.
11
00:00:28,929 --> 00:00:30,921
You killed one of my
boys! Let go of me!
12
00:01:35,429 --> 00:01:37,421
Come on, Hampton.
Lighten up, will ya?
13
00:01:37,497 --> 00:01:39,222
A couple belts at lunch
yesterday doesn't make
14
00:01:39,246 --> 00:01:40,843
me a lush. Yesterday?
How about every day?
15
00:01:40,867 --> 00:01:43,837
How about right now? Nobody
wants to buy cars from a drunk, Dan.
16
00:01:43,904 --> 00:01:46,316
You're finished. Look, Billy boy,
I'm the best salesman you got.
17
00:01:46,340 --> 00:01:48,636
Oh, yeah? That's ancient
history. You haven't moved enough
18
00:01:48,660 --> 00:01:50,820
units this past year to
keep this place in lightbulbs.
19
00:01:52,379 --> 00:01:54,712
[Both Grunting]
20
00:02:17,938 --> 00:02:20,533
Hi there.
21
00:02:20,607 --> 00:02:22,599
Real beauty, isn't she?
22
00:02:22,676 --> 00:02:24,736
How about takin' her
out for a test drive?
23
00:02:27,214 --> 00:02:29,479
Thanks. Maybe some other time.
24
00:02:29,549 --> 00:02:32,314
All right. Just say the word.
25
00:02:41,428 --> 00:02:43,727
[Typing]
26
00:02:58,111 --> 00:03:01,377
[Doorbell Rings]
27
00:03:03,817 --> 00:03:05,877
Mrs. Fletcher. I'm
Andrew Durbin.
28
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,688
[Laughs] I'm renting Lila
Small's house for a few weeks.
29
00:03:10,757 --> 00:03:13,386
Oh. Yes, of course.
Lila left her key with me.
30
00:03:13,460 --> 00:03:15,395
Please forgive me.
Come in. Thank you.
31
00:03:15,462 --> 00:03:18,523
Lila called me last night from New
York to say you'd be arriving today,
32
00:03:18,598 --> 00:03:20,590
and still it still flew
right out of my head.
33
00:03:20,667 --> 00:03:22,388
You must think I'm
addlebrained. No "addle
34
00:03:22,412 --> 00:03:24,365
brain" could have written
The Belgrave Murders.
35
00:03:24,438 --> 00:03:26,566
Oh. Thank you for
those kind words.
36
00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:30,077
- I think I may have come at a bad time.
- Oh, not at all.
37
00:03:30,143 --> 00:03:33,602
I was just going out, but Lila's house
is only a couple of blocks from here.
38
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,615
Thank you.
39
00:03:40,187 --> 00:03:44,022
It's nice to see things
haven't changed much.
40
00:03:44,091 --> 00:03:46,253
Oh, then you've been
to Cabot Cove before.
41
00:03:46,326 --> 00:03:50,661
Years ago. Matter of fact, I
stayed a bit longer than I'd planned.
42
00:03:52,032 --> 00:03:54,763
Well, then this should be quite
a nostalgic vacation for you.
43
00:03:54,835 --> 00:03:58,272
- [Sighs]
- Or are you here on business?
44
00:03:58,338 --> 00:04:00,273
A little of both.
45
00:04:00,340 --> 00:04:03,902
But mostly just to soak up a lot of
sunshine and good, clean salt air.
46
00:04:03,977 --> 00:04:05,969
[Laughs] You sound to me like...
47
00:04:06,046 --> 00:04:08,606
Like someone with a
raging case of cabin fever.
48
00:04:09,683 --> 00:04:13,245
Mrs. Fletcher, you are a
master of understatement.
49
00:04:18,525 --> 00:04:21,393
Oh. This place could
do with a good airing.
50
00:04:24,831 --> 00:04:28,598
Oh, please, let me get all that. I've
already taken up too much of your time.
51
00:04:28,668 --> 00:04:31,433
It's no trouble at
all. One last favor.
52
00:04:31,505 --> 00:04:33,770
I've got some papers
your sheriff has to sign.
53
00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:37,607
- Could you tell me where I could find him?
- Four blocks down, turn to the left.
54
00:04:37,677 --> 00:04:40,203
It's on the outskirts of town.
Oops, I'm gonna be late.
55
00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:43,512
Can I drop you somewhere?
Oh, how very kind of you.
56
00:04:43,583 --> 00:04:46,783
A dear friend, Kevin Cauldwell, is retiring
as football coach of the high school.
57
00:04:46,820 --> 00:04:48,846
A few of us are giving
him a farewell party.
58
00:04:48,922 --> 00:04:50,857
Let's go. Thank you.
59
00:04:52,292 --> 00:04:54,454
[Man] I don't mind telling
you. I'm shocked, Perry.
60
00:04:54,528 --> 00:04:57,760
I'm speechless. That's
it. I'm—I'm speechless.
61
00:04:57,831 --> 00:05:00,528
Everyone knows that
I had that accident...
62
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,399
because the car Bill
Hampton sold me was a lemon.
63
00:05:03,470 --> 00:05:06,269
Now I'm welded
to this chair for life.
64
00:05:06,339 --> 00:05:08,331
I'm helpless as a baby.
65
00:05:08,408 --> 00:05:13,005
Arnie, what I said in
that courtroom is final.
66
00:05:13,079 --> 00:05:16,243
Now, I am truly sorry
about your accident.
67
00:05:16,316 --> 00:05:20,811
Perry, the stock market has
made me a very rich man.
68
00:05:20,887 --> 00:05:24,346
I am not suing him for the
money. It's the principal of the thing.
69
00:05:24,424 --> 00:05:27,690
Arnie, I can't hear your case
because I have a conflict of interest.
70
00:05:27,761 --> 00:05:30,993
I've known you and Bill since we were
kids. We played on the same football team.
71
00:05:31,064 --> 00:05:33,329
That's exactly my point.
72
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,564
No one has to tell you how
underhanded Bill Hampton is.
73
00:05:36,636 --> 00:05:38,797
- Remember the time he
fixed us up with a couple
74
00:05:38,821 --> 00:05:41,006
of chicks— - That's it,
Arnie! Not another word.
75
00:05:44,644 --> 00:05:47,375
Perry, you are very
strict. Very strict.
76
00:05:47,447 --> 00:05:50,110
And also very busy.
So, if you'll excuse me.
77
00:05:51,718 --> 00:05:54,381
See you at Coach's
party? Are you kidding?
78
00:05:54,454 --> 00:05:58,118
The year of '66 was the greatest thing
that ever happened to me. I'll be there.
79
00:06:10,003 --> 00:06:12,768
[Razor Whirring] [Knocking]
80
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:14,774
[Razor Stops]
81
00:06:19,112 --> 00:06:21,672
Sheriff. Afternoon, Judge.
82
00:06:21,748 --> 00:06:24,582
Could you spare a few
minutes? Of course. Come on in.
83
00:06:24,651 --> 00:06:26,586
Oh, uh, this is Mr. Durbin.
84
00:06:26,653 --> 00:06:29,555
He's rentin' Lila Small's
house for a few weeks.
85
00:06:29,623 --> 00:06:32,252
Well, welcome to
Cabot Cove, Mr. Durbin.
86
00:06:32,325 --> 00:06:35,261
Thank you, Judge.
87
00:06:35,328 --> 00:06:37,320
What can I do for you, Amos?
88
00:06:37,397 --> 00:06:41,266
Eh, never handled anything
like this before, Your Honor.
89
00:06:41,334 --> 00:06:43,565
Thought it'd be best
to check it with you.
90
00:06:55,982 --> 00:06:58,474
[People Chattering]
91
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,819
[Laughing]
92
00:07:02,889 --> 00:07:04,915
Parole papers?
93
00:07:04,991 --> 00:07:09,622
Yes. It seems Mr. Durbin served 20
years in the state prison for murder.
94
00:07:09,696 --> 00:07:12,291
Oh, dear. I don't know
the circumstances.
95
00:07:12,365 --> 00:07:14,925
He was paroled a few months
ago, one of the conditions being...
96
00:07:15,001 --> 00:07:18,699
that he register his whereabouts
with an officer of the court.
97
00:07:18,772 --> 00:07:21,173
He sure made Amos
Tupper nervous.
98
00:07:21,241 --> 00:07:23,176
Well, it seems hard to believe.
99
00:07:23,243 --> 00:07:25,974
I mean, he's so
charming and intelligent.
100
00:07:26,046 --> 00:07:29,448
Jessica. Heck of a
swan song, Jessie.
101
00:07:29,516 --> 00:07:33,214
Some swan song. If I
know you, Kevin Cauldwell,
102
00:07:33,286 --> 00:07:36,484
you'll be spending even
more time at Cabot Cove High.
103
00:07:36,556 --> 00:07:40,493
I fell head over heels for this
woman my first day at the school.
104
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:45,123
- But for some unfathomable reason,
she wouldn't leave her husband.
- [All Laughing]
105
00:07:45,198 --> 00:07:48,430
Then I met Frank Fletcher,
and I gave up the chase.
106
00:07:48,501 --> 00:07:51,767
Best friends a man could hope
for. It was a two-way street, Kevin.
107
00:07:51,838 --> 00:07:54,069
Those were wonderful
years for all of us.
108
00:07:54,140 --> 00:07:56,075
Mmm, some not so wonderful.
109
00:07:56,142 --> 00:07:58,270
Or maybe you forgot that
football camp of mine. Oh.
110
00:07:58,345 --> 00:08:02,749
- The one that was gonna make me
the—the next Pop Warner.
- [All Laughing]
111
00:08:02,816 --> 00:08:05,684
Hey, I'm still waiting for
my counselor's salary.
112
00:08:08,788 --> 00:08:11,223
[Sighs] I'm just kidding.
It's— Coach, I'm kidding.
113
00:08:11,291 --> 00:08:14,853
Remember what I told you
guys— You can't win 'em all.
114
00:08:14,928 --> 00:08:17,051
Hey, we beat 'em all in
'66, Coach. Remember?
115
00:08:17,075 --> 00:08:17,989
Yeah, we sure did.
116
00:08:18,064 --> 00:08:22,001
State football champs— first and
only time for Cabot Cove or me.
117
00:08:22,068 --> 00:08:24,663
Tough act to follow,
but what a year.
118
00:08:24,738 --> 00:08:28,175
I owe it all to you
guys— Perry, Arnie.
119
00:08:29,576 --> 00:08:31,545
Billy.
120
00:08:31,611 --> 00:08:34,308
Danny. Where's— Where's Danny?
121
00:08:34,381 --> 00:08:38,250
Hey. Dan? Where's Dan
Pulling? Dan never misses a party.
122
00:08:38,318 --> 00:08:40,787
- Especially one with free drinks.
- Hey, zip it up, Arnie.
123
00:08:40,854 --> 00:08:42,789
Touchy, touchy.
What's the matter?
124
00:08:42,856 --> 00:08:45,668
- Feeling a little bit guilty
about firing Dan this morning?
- That's none of your business.
125
00:08:45,692 --> 00:08:47,742
Well, maybe you're just
nervous. I'd be nervous,
126
00:08:47,766 --> 00:08:49,754
too, if I was facing a
million-dollar lawsuit.
127
00:08:49,829 --> 00:08:52,594
- Knock it off, Arnie.
- But then it is
the insurance company's money.
128
00:08:52,665 --> 00:08:54,463
I said knock it off!
129
00:08:58,838 --> 00:09:01,330
Excuse me. I
wanna talk to Jessica.
130
00:09:06,146 --> 00:09:09,082
It was a great party,
Jessica. Thanks. I mean it.
131
00:09:09,149 --> 00:09:12,483
Everybody chipped in. But I
know whose idea it was, don't I?
132
00:09:12,552 --> 00:09:14,612
[Laughs] Any plans?
133
00:09:14,687 --> 00:09:18,385
Yeah. Goin' back to my office.
They're payin' me till Friday.
134
00:09:18,458 --> 00:09:21,519
After that? I guess it's
gonna seem kind of funny.
135
00:09:21,594 --> 00:09:25,156
- After all these years, nothin' to do.
- You could get to like it.
136
00:09:25,231 --> 00:09:28,463
Well, I'll give it a shot.
Thanks for everything.
137
00:09:31,271 --> 00:09:34,173
He'll never be able
to handle it. Hmm.
138
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,608
Thirty years, you don't
just quit, not like this.
139
00:09:37,677 --> 00:09:42,638
If he could quit himself, it would be
much easier. I really feel sorry for him.
140
00:09:42,715 --> 00:09:44,980
Well, since the guest of
honor has fled the premises,
141
00:09:45,051 --> 00:09:47,680
I hereby declare
this party adjourned.
142
00:09:47,754 --> 00:09:49,882
Let's go, honey.
Jessica, can we drop you?
143
00:09:49,956 --> 00:09:52,152
Oh, thanks. I thought
you'd never ask.
144
00:09:52,225 --> 00:09:54,660
[All Laughing]
145
00:09:55,995 --> 00:09:58,294
Fetch the chariot, my good man.
146
00:09:58,364 --> 00:10:01,459
I don't sell chariots.
It's too hard to get parts.
147
00:10:01,534 --> 00:10:03,469
Uh-oh.
148
00:10:03,536 --> 00:10:05,562
[Perry] Danny.
149
00:10:05,638 --> 00:10:07,573
Hey, Coach!
150
00:10:08,942 --> 00:10:12,970
- Drunk as hell. Just what we need.
- Come on, Jessica. Let's go.
151
00:10:13,046 --> 00:10:14,981
We'll see you
later. Bye-bye. Bye.
152
00:10:15,048 --> 00:10:18,280
Maybe I'd better go see if
Dan's okay. Let Coach handle it.
153
00:10:18,351 --> 00:10:21,617
Tara, I— Perry, you can't
help him. School's out.
154
00:10:23,389 --> 00:10:25,483
Let's go.
155
00:10:42,242 --> 00:10:44,643
- What is it, Bill?
- It's nothing.
156
00:10:49,449 --> 00:10:51,816
It's just somebody's
idea of a practical joke.
157
00:11:02,495 --> 00:11:06,432
[Phone Ringing]
158
00:11:09,068 --> 00:11:11,060
[Moans]
159
00:11:17,610 --> 00:11:20,170
Hello. Bill, who is it?
160
00:11:23,483 --> 00:11:26,317
Who are you? What do you want?
161
00:11:28,354 --> 00:11:30,289
Bill, what's wrong?
162
00:11:33,860 --> 00:11:35,852
What is it?
163
00:11:37,497 --> 00:11:39,932
Bill?
164
00:11:39,999 --> 00:11:41,934
Bill?
165
00:11:47,273 --> 00:11:49,367
What is that?
166
00:11:53,379 --> 00:11:56,372
Oh! [Jack-in-the-box Laughing]
167
00:11:56,449 --> 00:11:58,680
Bill? [Laughing Continues]
168
00:12:02,989 --> 00:12:04,981
Bill, talk to me. Tell
me what's happening.
169
00:12:05,058 --> 00:12:07,069
Who's doing this? Honey,
it's nothing. It's nothing.
170
00:12:07,093 --> 00:12:09,961
It's just a... sick
practical joke. That's all.
171
00:12:16,903 --> 00:12:19,896
I'm gonna call
Sheriff Tupper. No!
172
00:12:19,973 --> 00:12:22,306
I told you. It's just a
joke, a private one.
173
00:12:23,910 --> 00:12:26,607
I'll take care of it myself.
174
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,807
You say you got a
good look at the clipping?
175
00:12:28,881 --> 00:12:30,873
It was from the Gazette.
176
00:12:30,950 --> 00:12:34,910
Something about a hitchhiker being
convicted and $100,000 in bonds missing,
177
00:12:34,988 --> 00:12:36,980
But it happened years ago.
178
00:12:37,056 --> 00:12:39,287
A hitchhiker?
179
00:12:39,359 --> 00:12:43,797
I have a vague memory of a man
who was murdered in Shawmut.
180
00:12:43,863 --> 00:12:45,855
A hitchhiker was
convicted for the crime,
181
00:12:45,932 --> 00:12:48,663
but they never found he bonds
that he was supposed to have taken.
182
00:12:48,735 --> 00:12:51,671
But that was at least
20 years ago, I'm sure.
183
00:12:51,738 --> 00:12:55,266
Jessica, I'm worried.
184
00:12:55,341 --> 00:12:57,606
Bill has never kept
anything from me before.
185
00:12:57,677 --> 00:13:00,442
Who's ever behind this, it's
more than just a practical joke.
186
00:13:00,513 --> 00:13:03,005
And you have no
idea what it could be?
187
00:13:03,082 --> 00:13:05,074
No.
188
00:13:06,119 --> 00:13:09,351
I'm sure Dan Pulling's got
something to do with this...
189
00:13:09,422 --> 00:13:12,324
Getting back at
Bill for firing him.
190
00:13:12,392 --> 00:13:14,827
Oh, God.
191
00:13:14,894 --> 00:13:17,762
Can you remember
anything else about last night,
192
00:13:17,830 --> 00:13:21,892
something that Bill
might have said or done?
193
00:13:21,968 --> 00:13:25,097
No. Except...
194
00:13:26,439 --> 00:13:29,568
A car drove by when we
were outside the house.
195
00:13:30,643 --> 00:13:34,410
It was moving very slowly, as
if the driver was watching us.
196
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,541
- Did you get a look at the driver?
- No. It was too dark.
197
00:13:37,617 --> 00:13:40,985
But the car was an old
Corvette— You know, from the '50s.
198
00:13:41,054 --> 00:13:43,888
Will you have a talk
with him, Jessica?
199
00:13:43,956 --> 00:13:45,661
Maybe there's something
that Bill can't tell
200
00:13:45,685 --> 00:13:47,336
me because he doesn't
want to frighten me.
201
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:51,024
- But he might confide in you.
- Of course, Alison.
202
00:13:51,097 --> 00:13:54,033
But I'll have to do a
bit of research first.
203
00:14:02,508 --> 00:14:05,603
[Key Turns In Lock]
204
00:14:08,381 --> 00:14:10,543
Night, fellas. See
you in the morning.
205
00:14:52,392 --> 00:14:54,987
[Tires Screeching]
206
00:15:19,218 --> 00:15:21,813
Jessica. Oh. Hello, Alison.
207
00:15:21,888 --> 00:15:23,823
I've been looking
all over for you.
208
00:15:23,890 --> 00:15:26,223
Have you talked to Bill yet?
No, not yet. What's wrong?
209
00:15:26,292 --> 00:15:31,356
It's worse, whatever's going on.
Jessica, he's carrying a gun. Oh, dear.
210
00:15:31,431 --> 00:15:34,765
Early this morning, I came downstairs,
and I heard Bill on the phone in the study.
211
00:15:34,834 --> 00:15:36,960
He was telling someone
that he was almost
212
00:15:36,984 --> 00:15:39,397
killed last night in the
car—run off the road.
213
00:15:39,472 --> 00:15:41,496
He said he thinks he
knows who did it, and
214
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,910
they've got to do
something before it's too late.
215
00:15:43,976 --> 00:15:49,347
- Do you know who he was talking to?
- No. Just as I came in the study,
I saw him putting the gun in his pocket.
216
00:15:49,415 --> 00:15:52,852
- Where is he now?
- At the showroom.
217
00:15:52,919 --> 00:15:55,445
Alison, I think you should
talk to Sheriff Tupper.
218
00:15:55,521 --> 00:15:57,490
No. I can't do that.
He'd never forgive me.
219
00:15:57,557 --> 00:16:00,049
He'd be furious if he
knew I was talking to you.
220
00:16:31,324 --> 00:16:33,793
Hello again.
221
00:16:33,860 --> 00:16:35,795
Ready for that test
drive? Ah, afraid not.
222
00:16:35,862 --> 00:16:39,958
But I brought my baby
in for some minor repairs.
223
00:16:40,032 --> 00:16:43,264
Yeah, she's a real
classic, all right.
224
00:16:43,336 --> 00:16:45,328
Cherry condition.
225
00:16:45,404 --> 00:16:49,739
I saw it parked across the street from
the, uh, Cove Restaurant yesterday.
226
00:16:49,809 --> 00:16:52,176
It does attract attention.
227
00:16:54,313 --> 00:16:58,307
These are pretty hard to come
by. Where did you find this one?
228
00:16:58,384 --> 00:17:01,445
Bought it from a little
old lady over in Shawmut.
229
00:17:01,521 --> 00:17:05,686
Had it garaged ever
since her husband died...
230
00:17:05,758 --> 00:17:08,159
20 years ago.
231
00:17:08,227 --> 00:17:10,787
A tragic incident. You
might remember it.
232
00:17:10,863 --> 00:17:13,526
That's if you were in
these parts back then.
233
00:17:13,599 --> 00:17:15,830
Try me.
234
00:17:15,902 --> 00:17:21,170
Seems this businessman
picked up a hitchhiker one night.
235
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,175
Next thing you know,
the man is dead...
236
00:17:23,242 --> 00:17:28,010
and 100,000 in negotiable
bonds is missing.
237
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,515
Ring a bell?
238
00:17:30,583 --> 00:17:33,451
All right, what do you want?
Why have you come back here?
239
00:17:33,519 --> 00:17:37,320
Sorry for rambling
on like that. Bad habit.
240
00:17:37,390 --> 00:17:40,554
Comes from spending
too many years alone.
241
00:17:45,064 --> 00:17:47,158
It's the electrical system.
242
00:17:47,233 --> 00:17:49,395
The left side doesn't work.
243
00:17:49,468 --> 00:17:51,528
It started acting
funny last night.
244
00:17:52,738 --> 00:17:57,335
I just replaced the headlight,
so it, uh—it can't be that.
245
00:17:57,410 --> 00:18:00,403
[Clicks Tongue]
Probably a short.
246
00:18:03,883 --> 00:18:05,744
I'm pretty busy right
now. Why don't you come
247
00:18:05,768 --> 00:18:07,820
back about 9:00? I'll
have it ready for you then.
248
00:18:09,989 --> 00:18:12,857
Thanks. See ya at 9:00.
249
00:18:28,341 --> 00:18:30,276
Jessica.
250
00:18:30,343 --> 00:18:32,835
Don't tell me you're
in the market for a car?
251
00:18:32,912 --> 00:18:35,905
Oh, my goodness, no. I spend
enough time sitting as it is.
252
00:18:35,982 --> 00:18:37,917
No, Bill, I came to see you.
253
00:18:37,984 --> 00:18:40,886
Alison told me what happened
last night and this morning.
254
00:18:40,953 --> 00:18:43,616
Oh, come on. [Chuckles]
255
00:18:43,689 --> 00:18:48,218
Oh, Bill. That nervous laugh. I
remember that from sophomore English.
256
00:18:48,294 --> 00:18:50,695
It generally meant that you
hadn't done your homework.
257
00:18:50,763 --> 00:18:54,097
- Jessica, come on.
- I don't want to seem to be butting in.
258
00:18:54,166 --> 00:18:56,629
But a man that
carries a gun has to be
259
00:18:56,653 --> 00:18:59,730
desperately worried about
something or someone.
260
00:18:59,805 --> 00:19:02,866
Now Alison is terribly worried.
261
00:19:02,942 --> 00:19:06,401
Come on. That's ridiculous. I mean,
Alison and I have never had any secrets.
262
00:19:06,479 --> 00:19:08,414
Why—Why would I
want to start now?
263
00:19:08,481 --> 00:19:11,679
Perhaps this has
something to do with it.
264
00:19:18,224 --> 00:19:22,685
Bill, that was Andrew Durbin
who drove by your house,
265
00:19:22,762 --> 00:19:26,392
Andrew Durbin who left that
bizarre valise on your doorstep.
266
00:19:27,767 --> 00:19:31,397
But why? What is the
connection between you two?
267
00:19:31,470 --> 00:19:34,133
Jessica, forgive me. I never
met the man before yesterday.
268
00:19:34,206 --> 00:19:38,610
And quite frankly, what is going on between
me and my wife is none of your business.
269
00:19:38,678 --> 00:19:40,647
I'm sorry. I—I came
here as a friend.
270
00:19:40,713 --> 00:19:42,705
Yes, and I'd like
to keep it that way.
271
00:19:42,782 --> 00:19:45,752
Now please excuse me, because
I've got a very, very busy day.
272
00:20:00,466 --> 00:20:02,492
He was just here.
273
00:20:02,568 --> 00:20:04,662
Durbin. Yes.
274
00:20:04,737 --> 00:20:07,206
No, no. It was him all right.
275
00:20:07,273 --> 00:20:11,040
You bet we're in this together, and
we're gonna take care of him together.
276
00:20:11,110 --> 00:20:13,705
Come to my office a
little before 9:00 tonight.
277
00:20:18,617 --> 00:20:22,554
Yes, of course this is me. I don't
believe I ever made a secret of it.
278
00:20:22,621 --> 00:20:25,648
Mm-hmm. And that's the murder
you served the 20 years for.
279
00:20:25,725 --> 00:20:28,559
I served the 20 years, Sheriff.
I did not commit the murder.
280
00:20:28,627 --> 00:20:32,394
- Jury thought otherwise.
- The jury was wrong.
281
00:20:32,465 --> 00:20:35,264
I maintained my innocence
then. I maintain it today.
282
00:20:35,334 --> 00:20:37,269
You have an excellent
memory, Mrs. Fletcher.
283
00:20:37,336 --> 00:20:39,931
The events of the last couple
days have helped to jog it.
284
00:20:40,005 --> 00:20:42,625
All right, Durbin. I want
to know what you're
285
00:20:42,649 --> 00:20:45,410
doin' here in Cabot Cove
spookin' Bill Hampton.
286
00:20:45,478 --> 00:20:48,915
Really? Has he filed a complaint?
No, he hasn't. At least not yet.
287
00:20:48,981 --> 00:20:51,473
But it's evident that you've
gone to a great deal of trouble...
288
00:20:51,550 --> 00:20:54,042
to attract Bill's attention.
289
00:20:54,120 --> 00:20:56,248
Why?
290
00:20:56,322 --> 00:20:59,053
Twenty years ago, I
was a college student...
291
00:20:59,125 --> 00:21:04,291
spending my summer vacation thumbing
from one anti-Vietnam rally to another.
292
00:21:05,798 --> 00:21:09,701
One night over in Shawmut, I
hitched a ride from a businessman.
293
00:21:09,769 --> 00:21:12,398
He wouldn't happen to have
been driving a Corvette, would he?
294
00:21:14,907 --> 00:21:17,640
Just on the outskirts
of Cabot Cove, we were
295
00:21:17,664 --> 00:21:20,608
run off the road by a
teenager playing chicken.
296
00:21:20,679 --> 00:21:24,172
The kid's car had only one
headlight. He came straight at us.
297
00:21:24,250 --> 00:21:27,652
The man swerved the car, hit the shoulder
and cracked his head on the steering wheel.
298
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:32,249
Now just hold on here. You're not saying
that he died from that bump on the head.
299
00:21:32,324 --> 00:21:35,260
- 'Cause I read the autopsy report.
- Amos.
300
00:21:35,327 --> 00:21:38,422
Sorry, Miss Fletcher.
301
00:21:38,497 --> 00:21:42,491
No, Sheriff. The man was unconscious,
bleeding heavily from that bump,
302
00:21:42,568 --> 00:21:46,300
but very much alive when
I left the car to get help.
303
00:21:46,372 --> 00:21:49,069
I ran down the road to
a farmhouse we passed.
304
00:21:49,141 --> 00:21:52,475
On the way, I saw the
car with one headlight...
305
00:21:52,545 --> 00:21:55,811
make a turn up ahead and
come back toward the Corvette.
306
00:22:07,927 --> 00:22:12,126
There were people in that
farmhouse. They were watching TV.
307
00:22:12,198 --> 00:22:15,794
I rang the bell. I pounded on the door,
yelled that there'd been an accident.
308
00:22:15,868 --> 00:22:17,962
They kept on watching TV.
309
00:22:19,471 --> 00:22:22,100
By the time I got back to
the car, the man was dead...
310
00:22:22,174 --> 00:22:26,009
His head bashed in, his
luggage all over the roadside.
311
00:22:26,078 --> 00:22:30,573
Just then, a police
car pulled up, and...
312
00:22:32,952 --> 00:22:37,253
The rest is a matter of record.
313
00:22:37,323 --> 00:22:40,350
Then you're saying whoever
was in the car with one headlight...
314
00:22:40,426 --> 00:22:42,827
killed the man and
stole the bonds.
315
00:22:42,895 --> 00:22:46,297
The police searched for those
bonds for days. They never found them.
316
00:22:46,365 --> 00:22:49,062
What was I supposed to have done
with them— burned them? Eaten them?
317
00:22:49,134 --> 00:22:52,298
It made no sense, but
they convicted me anyway.
318
00:22:53,772 --> 00:22:56,241
But you still haven't
answered my question.
319
00:22:57,343 --> 00:23:01,371
What are you to Bill Hampton,
and what is he to you?
320
00:23:05,017 --> 00:23:08,579
While I was in prison, I subscribed
to the Cabot Cove Gazette,
321
00:23:08,654 --> 00:23:12,682
certain I would find a photo of
the kid I saw in the car that night.
322
00:23:12,758 --> 00:23:16,320
You saw the driver? Not the
driver, Mrs. Fletcher. The passenger.
323
00:23:18,330 --> 00:23:20,677
That's him. He was
in that car wearing a
324
00:23:20,701 --> 00:23:23,428
white dinner jacket,
like kids wear at a prom.
325
00:23:23,502 --> 00:23:25,528
That's right, Mrs. Fletcher.
326
00:23:25,604 --> 00:23:29,097
The murder of that man, the
senior prom at Cabot Cove High...
327
00:23:29,174 --> 00:23:32,110
They happened on the same night.
328
00:23:33,512 --> 00:23:37,643
I don't care what night it was.
Just—Just a minute, Amos.
329
00:23:37,716 --> 00:23:42,017
There were no lights on that road. How
can you be sure that was Bill Hampton?
330
00:23:42,087 --> 00:23:45,353
Oh, his face has been burned
into my mind for 20 years.
331
00:23:46,892 --> 00:23:49,794
You haven't identified
the driver, have you?
332
00:23:49,862 --> 00:23:52,525
What makes you
so sure I haven't?
333
00:23:52,598 --> 00:23:57,366
Because you continued to
collect Cabot Cove history...
334
00:23:57,436 --> 00:23:59,428
long after you identified Bill.
335
00:23:59,505 --> 00:24:02,703
Maybe the reason you
were pressuring Bill...
336
00:24:02,775 --> 00:24:05,438
was that you hoped
that he would, uh,
337
00:24:05,511 --> 00:24:07,980
lead you to the driver.
338
00:24:08,047 --> 00:24:11,950
All this theorizing
is gettin' us nowhere.
339
00:24:12,017 --> 00:24:15,886
Now you take my advice, mister. You
leave town before I put you under arrest.
340
00:24:15,955 --> 00:24:18,789
On what charge, Sheriff?
I haven't broken any law.
341
00:24:18,857 --> 00:24:22,760
No, but you're plannin' to. By your own
admission, you come here for revenge.
342
00:24:22,828 --> 00:24:24,729
Not revenge. Justice.
343
00:24:24,797 --> 00:24:27,631
And unless I'm
mistaken, neither of you...
344
00:24:27,700 --> 00:24:31,364
would want to see a murder go
unsolved or justice undelivered.
345
00:24:31,437 --> 00:24:33,668
Would you?
346
00:24:36,508 --> 00:24:38,739
[Cauldwell] This guy Durbin
must be out of his mind.
347
00:24:38,811 --> 00:24:41,906
Bill Hampton's the last man on
earth who would murder somebody.
348
00:24:41,981 --> 00:24:44,041
These are my boys, Jessie.
349
00:24:44,116 --> 00:24:48,747
Arnie, Perry, Dan, Bill—especially
Bill. He was like my own son.
350
00:24:48,821 --> 00:24:50,756
That's why I'm here, Kevin.
351
00:24:50,823 --> 00:24:53,019
This will surprise
you. I know it did me.
352
00:24:53,092 --> 00:24:56,324
- But I believe Mr. Durbin's story.
- Jessie.
353
00:24:56,395 --> 00:24:58,626
Not necessarily that he
saw Bill in the car that night,
354
00:24:58,697 --> 00:25:01,166
but that he did see a young
man wearing a white dinner jacket.
355
00:25:01,233 --> 00:25:04,294
- That's ridiculous. He's lying.
- I don't think so.
356
00:25:04,370 --> 00:25:06,965
You were one of the chaperones
at the prom, Kevin. Think back.
357
00:25:07,039 --> 00:25:11,500
Can you remember what
Bill did when it was over?
358
00:25:11,577 --> 00:25:14,979
Jessie, that was 20 years ago.
359
00:25:15,047 --> 00:25:17,267
No, I'm sorry. No way
in hell are you gonna
360
00:25:17,291 --> 00:25:19,849
convince me that one of
my boys could kill a man.
361
00:25:19,918 --> 00:25:23,446
Look, Kevin, how do you think I
feel? You coached him. I taught him.
362
00:25:23,522 --> 00:25:26,981
I don't want to believe it any more than
you do, but he is acting very strangely.
363
00:25:27,059 --> 00:25:29,927
He is carrying a gun,
and he is lying to Alison.
364
00:25:29,995 --> 00:25:32,487
Now, something
must be terribly wrong.
365
00:25:32,564 --> 00:25:35,659
No, no. You're way
off the track, Jessie.
366
00:25:35,734 --> 00:25:38,533
Now, it's not just Bill
that I'm worried about.
367
00:25:38,604 --> 00:25:41,574
I'm sure that Andrew Durbin's
after a second person...
368
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,269
Whoever was driving
the car that night.
369
00:25:44,343 --> 00:25:46,471
Has he put a name
to this other person?
370
00:25:46,545 --> 00:25:51,176
No, but my guess is that he's waiting for
Bill to lead him to the driver of the car.
371
00:25:51,250 --> 00:25:53,515
And you want me to talk to him.
372
00:25:53,585 --> 00:25:56,987
If he'll listen to
anyone, it has to be you.
373
00:25:58,357 --> 00:26:01,919
Okay. I'll tell
you this, Jessie.
374
00:26:01,994 --> 00:26:05,692
As far as I'm concerned, this
guy Durbin committed that crime.
375
00:26:05,764 --> 00:26:08,563
And if he thinks he's gonna
lay it off on Bill Hampton...
376
00:26:08,634 --> 00:26:10,728
Kevin, don't do
anything foolish.
377
00:26:11,804 --> 00:26:13,796
Yeah, okay.
378
00:26:15,140 --> 00:26:17,735
Guess it was just
an old man wishing...
379
00:26:17,810 --> 00:26:20,075
Wishing he were
20 years younger.
380

[No Audible
Dialogue] [Horn Honks]
385
00:27:02,387 --> 00:27:06,119
Miss Fletcher. Mr. Cauldwell.
386
00:27:06,191 --> 00:27:08,353
Sorry to start your
mornin' off this way.
387
00:27:08,427 --> 00:27:10,521
Oh. Thank you for
calling me, Amos.
388
00:27:10,596 --> 00:27:13,566
Who found Bill's body? Hal
Avery, about an hour ago.
389
00:27:13,632 --> 00:27:16,222
Accordin' to Doc Mathews,
he must've shot himself
390
00:27:16,246 --> 00:27:18,593
some time between
9:00 and 11:00 last night.
391
00:27:19,671 --> 00:27:23,267
Yeah. We found this typewritten
note in the car next to him.
392
00:27:23,342 --> 00:27:26,542
It's pretty clear Bill couldn't take the
pressure that Durbin was puttin' on him.
393
00:27:32,818 --> 00:27:34,787
Excuse me. Thanks.
394
00:27:34,853 --> 00:27:38,688
Are you positive that it
was a suicide, Dr. Mathews?
395
00:27:38,757 --> 00:27:40,119
Bullet in the right temple.
396
00:27:40,143 --> 00:27:43,058
Yeah, from Bill's own gun.
Checked the registration myself.
397
00:27:43,128 --> 00:27:47,031
Yes, but that doesn't make any sense.
The right temple? Bill was left-handed.
398
00:27:47,099 --> 00:27:51,264
That's right. Bill was the only
lefty quarterback I ever coached.
399
00:27:51,336 --> 00:27:54,349
- But what does that mean?
- It means, it's unlikely
that a left-handed person...
400
00:27:54,373 --> 00:27:56,308
would shoot themselves
in the right temple.
401
00:27:56,375 --> 00:27:59,345
But a stranger, someone
who didn't know Bill very well,
402
00:27:59,411 --> 00:28:02,973
probably wouldn't have
known that he was left-handed.
403
00:28:03,048 --> 00:28:04,778
A stranger?
404
00:28:04,850 --> 00:28:08,981
Uh, don't ask me to be a
hypocrite. Hampton's dead.
405
00:28:09,054 --> 00:28:14,186
In a way, he's paid
a debt long past due.
406
00:28:14,259 --> 00:28:17,423
But did I kill him? No.
407
00:28:19,831 --> 00:28:23,359
Bad news, Miss Fletcher. He was
havin' dinner at the Cove Restaurant.
408
00:28:23,435 --> 00:28:28,169
- My deputy just confirmed it.
- From 8:00 until they closed,
just past 11:00.
409
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,937
- Long time for supper.
- I'm a slow eater.
410
00:28:31,009 --> 00:28:35,947
They found the keys to his car
locked in Bill Hampton's service office.
411
00:28:36,014 --> 00:28:39,075
Well, Mr. Durbin, it seems that
your mission is accomplished.
412
00:28:39,151 --> 00:28:42,121
I guess you'll be leaving
Cabot Cove. Not just yet.
413
00:28:42,187 --> 00:28:45,851
Well, I can think of only one
reason that you'd want to stay.
414
00:28:45,924 --> 00:28:50,089
You're hoping that the driver of
the car will reveal himself to you.
415
00:28:50,162 --> 00:28:52,188
You'll understand if I
don't comment on that.
416
00:28:54,967 --> 00:28:58,961
You know what's wrong with
your alibi, Durbin? It's too airtight.
417
00:28:59,037 --> 00:29:01,165
Now, you're gonna
trip up somewhere.
418
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:05,041
And when you do, I'm
gonna be there waitin' for you.
419
00:29:05,110 --> 00:29:09,480
Comin', Miss Fletcher?
In a moment, Amos.
420
00:29:09,548 --> 00:29:14,145
I'm sorry, but what you did
was totally reprehensible.
421
00:29:14,219 --> 00:29:17,053
Even though your friend
was guilty of murder?
422
00:29:17,122 --> 00:29:19,921
That was a matter
for the courts.
423
00:29:19,992 --> 00:29:23,360
Was it? You mean the same
courts that sent me away to prison?
424
00:29:23,428 --> 00:29:26,057
That robbed me of
20 precious years?
425
00:29:26,131 --> 00:29:28,656
That—That locked me
away in an 8-by-10 cell
426
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,229
like an animal for a
crime I didn't commit?
427
00:29:31,303 --> 00:29:34,569
While Bill Hampton and
his confederate were free...
428
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,838
to enjoy a life I never
had and never will have!
429
00:29:39,578 --> 00:29:42,514
You have a bizarre definition
of justice, Mrs. Fletcher.
430
00:29:42,581 --> 00:29:44,709
We still only have your word...
431
00:29:44,783 --> 00:29:48,242
that it was Bill Hampton that
was involved in that killing.
432
00:29:50,622 --> 00:29:52,557
You're a bright
woman, Mrs. Fletcher.
433
00:29:52,624 --> 00:29:55,025
You take this. Read
through it. Read it carefully...
434
00:29:55,093 --> 00:29:57,085
The accounts of
the trial, everything.
435
00:29:57,162 --> 00:30:01,600
Then come back and tell me
I'm a killer and Hampton wasn't.
436
00:30:02,668 --> 00:30:05,638
My task here is only
half over, Mrs. Fletcher.
437
00:30:05,704 --> 00:30:08,731
I'm not leaving
until it's finished.
438
00:30:13,145 --> 00:30:15,410
- [Door Closes]
- [Alison] No!
439
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,109
Bill would never commit suicide.
[Perry] Of course he didn't.
440
00:30:18,183 --> 00:30:21,312
Bill— He was a— He was
a fighter, not a quitter.

"Never Say Die" Hampton.
442
00:30:24,289 --> 00:30:26,281
Twelve points down
in the fourth quarter,
443
00:30:26,358 --> 00:30:29,453
and he couldn't wait to get out
there and stick it to the other guys.
444
00:30:29,528 --> 00:30:32,293
- Remember, honey?
- Yeah.
445
00:30:32,364 --> 00:30:35,198
Look, all of you, the
alternative is just as hard to take.
446
00:30:35,267 --> 00:30:38,499
I don't think it was suicide.
I think it was murder.
447
00:30:39,638 --> 00:30:41,732
Why would anyone
want to murder Bill?
448
00:30:41,807 --> 00:30:43,901
Let me show you something.
449
00:30:43,975 --> 00:30:46,308
Now you all know
about Andrew Durbin,
450
00:30:46,378 --> 00:30:49,212
but what you may not
know is that he swears...
451
00:30:49,281 --> 00:30:53,218
that he is innocent of killing that
businessman and stealing those bonds.
452
00:30:53,285 --> 00:30:55,277
And I'm afraid
that I believe him.
453
00:30:55,354 --> 00:30:57,414
But what does that have
to do with Bill's death?
454
00:30:57,489 --> 00:31:01,756
Everything. It's possible
that Bill was involved.
455
00:31:01,827 --> 00:31:05,628
- You don't know what you're saying.
- She seems to know
exactly what she's saying.
456
00:31:05,697 --> 00:31:09,464
I'm sorry, Alison. I'd
give anything to be wrong.
457
00:31:09,534 --> 00:31:14,029
The night of your senior prom, it's
possible that Bill and someone else...
458
00:31:14,106 --> 00:31:18,168
committed the crime that
Andrew Durbin went to prison for.
459
00:31:18,243 --> 00:31:21,873
Well, if that's true, then Durbin
must have killed Bill—out of revenge.
460
00:31:21,947 --> 00:31:24,883
No. He has an unshakable alibi.
461
00:31:24,950 --> 00:31:27,886
I see. What you're saying is,
462
00:31:27,953 --> 00:31:30,946
Bill's killer is the person who
was with him the night of the prom.
463
00:31:31,022 --> 00:31:34,356
Yes. That's a
strong possibility.
464
00:31:34,426 --> 00:31:36,622
You were close then, all of you.
465
00:31:36,695 --> 00:31:38,630
You traveled
together. Think back.
466
00:31:38,697 --> 00:31:42,657
Can’t you remember anything unusual
that could have happened that night?
467
00:31:42,734 --> 00:31:45,363
We had a hell of a
good time. That's all.
468
00:31:45,437 --> 00:31:48,498
Look, Jessica, I don't
like what you’re getting at.
469
00:31:48,573 --> 00:31:52,237
Take it easy, honey.
You're talking after the prom?
470
00:31:55,580 --> 00:31:57,572
It was around midnight, I guess.
471
00:31:57,649 --> 00:31:59,850
A bunch of us drove
over to that all-night diner
472
00:31:59,874 --> 00:32:02,053
on Route 6. We stayed
there till after sunrise.
473
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:04,385
[Alison] Including
me and including Bill.
474
00:32:04,456 --> 00:32:08,018
We left the prom early and went straight
to the diner, just like everybody else.
475
00:32:08,093 --> 00:32:10,358
Isn't that right, Perry?
476
00:32:11,763 --> 00:32:14,494
That's right.
477
00:32:14,566 --> 00:32:17,035
Bill and Alison were with us.
478
00:32:17,102 --> 00:32:19,230
You're certain, Perry?
479
00:32:19,304 --> 00:32:22,741
Someone else could be
in danger if you're wrong.
480
00:32:28,713 --> 00:32:32,081
They were there,
Jessica. All night.
481
00:32:48,300 --> 00:32:51,702
- Durbin!
- I'm Durbin.
482
00:32:51,770 --> 00:32:54,706
The name's Cauldwell. Bill
Hampton was a friend of mine.
483
00:32:56,475 --> 00:32:59,070
- Hey!
- [Groans]
484
00:32:59,144 --> 00:33:01,943
Kevin! Stop that!
485
00:33:02,013 --> 00:33:04,608
- You bastard! You killed one of my boys!
- Kevin, please!
486
00:33:04,683 --> 00:33:08,620
- Coach, take it easy.
- Get your hands off me! Let go of me!
487
00:33:08,687 --> 00:33:11,054
- Are you all right?
- Yeah.
488
00:33:11,122 --> 00:33:13,614
Kevin, you come with me.
489
00:33:19,865 --> 00:33:22,664
I wanted to kill him. You
might have succeeded too.
490
00:33:22,734 --> 00:33:24,726
That would have
complicated things.
491
00:33:24,803 --> 00:33:27,136
I'm gonna heat some
coffee. Sit down, Kevin.
492
00:33:27,205 --> 00:33:31,540
So, Jessica, do you really believe Bill
was involved in that killing 20 years ago?
493
00:33:31,610 --> 00:33:34,637
I'm sorry, Kevin,
but, yes, I do.
494
00:33:35,914 --> 00:33:39,817
And what's worse, I think that
someone else was involved.
495
00:33:40,919 --> 00:33:44,981
You know, Alison lied to
me, and Perry swore to it.
496
00:33:46,925 --> 00:33:49,258
Have you been able
to think of anything...
497
00:33:49,327 --> 00:33:54,265
Anything that could have happened
that was unusual on the night of the prom?
498
00:33:54,332 --> 00:33:58,667
Well, after you left my office,
I—I gave it some thought.
499
00:33:58,737 --> 00:34:02,970
Fact is, I—I left early. Around 11:00—an
hour before the dance was really over.
500
00:34:03,041 --> 00:34:06,170
Oh. Why was that? The same reason
you stayed home that night— the flu.
501
00:34:06,244 --> 00:34:10,011
Besides, the last thing those kids needed
was good old Coach spying on them.
502
00:34:10,081 --> 00:34:13,677
Then you have no way of knowing if Bill
and Alison left the dance at the same time.
503
00:34:13,752 --> 00:34:17,780
No, Jessica. I'm sorry. But what I do
remember about that night is my boys.
504
00:34:17,856 --> 00:34:20,416
I can't—I won't believe
any of them is involved.
505
00:34:20,492 --> 00:34:24,361
- Their killer instincts are restricted
totally to the gridiron.
- Even Dan Pulling?
506
00:34:24,429 --> 00:34:27,126
I seem to remember they
used to call him "the animal."
507
00:34:27,198 --> 00:34:30,066
Yeah. Dan used to have
that kind of wild ferocity...
508
00:34:30,135 --> 00:34:32,366
before he lost it
in a bottle of gin.
509
00:34:32,437 --> 00:34:34,770
Funny. Back then...
510
00:34:34,839 --> 00:34:36,865
Danny never touched
the stuff, not even beer.
511
00:34:39,177 --> 00:34:42,204
I wonder what got him started.
512
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:47,844
Well, the problem with that theory is that
Dan never had two dimes to rub together.
513
00:34:47,919 --> 00:34:51,913
If Mr. Durbin's right, then Bill's
accomplice shared in the spoils.
514
00:34:51,990 --> 00:34:54,499
Which brings me to Arnie
Wakeman. Arnie Wakeman
515
00:34:54,523 --> 00:34:56,894
was always the poorest
kid in school, Kevin.
516
00:34:56,962 --> 00:35:00,865
But he managed to make a
fortune on the stock market.
517
00:35:00,932 --> 00:35:03,163
Now, how did he do that?
518
00:35:05,070 --> 00:35:07,904
[Arnie] I already told the
sheriff I don't know where Dan is.
519
00:35:07,973 --> 00:35:12,434
It's 20 years ago that
I'm curious about, Arnie...
520
00:35:14,312 --> 00:35:16,281
The night of your senior prom.
521
00:35:16,348 --> 00:35:18,374
What about it?
522
00:35:18,450 --> 00:35:22,410
You know, Perry called me and
told me what you've been up to.
523
00:35:22,487 --> 00:35:25,855
I—I can't believe you're
trying to nail one of us.
524
00:35:25,924 --> 00:35:29,190
For heaven sakes, I'm
trying to get to the truth, Arnie.
525
00:35:29,260 --> 00:35:32,719
Your friend is dead. Never
mind that terrible lawsuit.
526
00:35:32,797 --> 00:35:34,789
He was your friend and mine.
527
00:35:34,866 --> 00:35:36,843
I didn't kill Bill.
And I sure as hell
528
00:35:36,867 --> 00:35:39,236
didn't kill the guy in
that car 20 years ago.
529
00:35:39,304 --> 00:35:41,239
Well, I've been doing
some digging around.
530
00:35:41,306 --> 00:35:46,802
Four years after the murder, Bill came
up with $50,000 to buy his car company.
531
00:35:46,878 --> 00:35:51,111
Now, I think that it was his
half of the missing bond money.
532
00:35:51,182 --> 00:35:53,117
I always knew that
guy was a crook.
533
00:35:53,184 --> 00:35:56,484
And his partner got the other
half. What are you driving at?
534
00:35:56,554 --> 00:36:00,355
Well, according to the
clipping in the Gazette,
535
00:36:00,425 --> 00:36:03,520
you returned to Cabot Cove
after five years in New York...
536
00:36:03,595 --> 00:36:05,928
having made your
fortune in the stock market.
537
00:36:05,997 --> 00:36:08,262
I—I never did like that picture.
538
00:36:08,333 --> 00:36:11,895
It also says that you parlayed
a $50,000 investment...
539
00:36:11,970 --> 00:36:14,735
into a multimillion-dollar
portfolio.
540
00:36:14,806 --> 00:36:16,555
Jessica, you're
crazy if you think I had
541
00:36:16,579 --> 00:36:18,573
anything to do with
Hampton killing that guy.
542
00:36:18,643 --> 00:36:20,805
Well, then set me
straight. Tell me.
543
00:36:20,879 --> 00:36:24,111
Where did you get the
$50,000 to start with?
544
00:36:24,182 --> 00:36:26,378
I'm warning you. You
ask that question again...
545
00:36:26,451 --> 00:36:29,285
To me or to anybody else—
And I'll sue you for defamation.
546
00:36:29,354 --> 00:36:32,017
Arnie, do you think
that I like this...
547
00:36:32,090 --> 00:36:34,491
Coming here, asking
questions of you and Perry?
548
00:36:34,559 --> 00:36:36,619
There's been one
murder in this town.
549
00:36:36,695 --> 00:36:39,062
And unless somebody
gets to the truth now,
550
00:36:39,130 --> 00:36:41,861
there's liable to be another.
551
00:36:41,933 --> 00:36:44,129
I'm sorry. I can't help you.
552
00:36:55,013 --> 00:36:58,006
Oh, I almost forgot. I found this
special delivery on your doormat.
553
00:36:58,083 --> 00:37:00,552
It's from the, uh,
insurance company.
554
00:37:00,618 --> 00:37:02,678
I'll just leave it
on this hall table.
555
00:37:31,583 --> 00:37:32,846
My telephone bill.
556
00:37:33,918 --> 00:37:35,853
I'm sorry, Arnie.
557
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:39,550
I saw the scuff marks on the newly
polished floor, from a man's shoes.
558
00:37:41,559 --> 00:37:43,687
Maybe we'd better have
a talk with Sheriff Tupper.
559
00:37:43,762 --> 00:37:46,197
Attempting to defraud
an insurance company.
560
00:37:46,264 --> 00:37:48,563
That's pretty serious
business, Mr. Wakeman.
561
00:37:48,633 --> 00:37:51,193
So I can walk.
I didn't kill Bill.
562
00:37:51,269 --> 00:37:54,296
- And the $50,000?
- It's from an inheritance.
563
00:37:54,372 --> 00:37:57,206
Twenty years ago, an uncle of
mine died and left me a trust fund.
564
00:37:57,275 --> 00:37:59,767
- I suppose you can prove that.
- Yeah, I can prove that.
565
00:37:59,844 --> 00:38:03,975
- But you did keep it a secret.
- So I wanted to be a big man...
566
00:38:04,048 --> 00:38:07,041
To show all these people that Arnie
Wakeman had something on the ball,
567
00:38:07,118 --> 00:38:11,078
that I'm not just another poor kid from
the edge of town with holes in my jeans.
568
00:38:11,156 --> 00:38:13,091
But now the money has run out,
569
00:38:13,158 --> 00:38:16,856
which I assume is the reason that
you decided to sue Bill Hampton.
570
00:38:16,928 --> 00:38:18,863
I phonied the accident.
571
00:38:18,930 --> 00:38:21,866
I got some shyster doctors and
lawyers to swear I was paralyzed.
572
00:38:21,933 --> 00:38:25,028
All in the hope of collecting enough
money from the insurance company...
573
00:38:25,103 --> 00:38:27,231
to continue your lifestyle.
574
00:38:27,305 --> 00:38:30,434
Hey, if you think it was fun sitting
in that wheelchair, you guys...
575
00:38:30,508 --> 00:38:33,034
Suppose you tell us what
happened the night of the prom.
576
00:38:33,111 --> 00:38:35,046
Oh, we're back to that?
577
00:38:35,113 --> 00:38:38,641
Mr. Wakeman, right now you're in a
mess of trouble. You best cooperate.
578
00:38:38,716 --> 00:38:42,380
Can you remember
anything unusual happening...
579
00:38:42,453 --> 00:38:45,946
Something to do
with Bill Hampton?
580
00:38:46,024 --> 00:38:48,926
[Scoffing Chuckle]
Sure. Bill was plastered.
581
00:38:48,993 --> 00:38:51,462
Alison left him flat
on the dance floor.
582
00:38:52,497 --> 00:38:55,092
- Then what?
- I don't know.
583
00:38:55,166 --> 00:38:58,000
I think he ran after her.
They had a hell of a row.
584
00:38:58,069 --> 00:39:00,561
He tried to get her to
stay, but she wouldn't.
585
00:39:00,638 --> 00:39:02,903
- About what time was that?
- 11:00.
586
00:39:02,974 --> 00:39:05,000
[Phone Rings]
587
00:39:06,277 --> 00:39:08,439
Sheriff Tupper here.
588
00:39:08,513 --> 00:39:10,448
That so?
589
00:39:10,515 --> 00:39:12,882
Are you sure about that?
590
00:39:12,951 --> 00:39:15,182
Okay. Thanks a lot.
591
00:39:15,253 --> 00:39:18,951
Well, there goes my
number one suspect.
592
00:39:19,023 --> 00:39:21,714
Dan Pulling— He's
been over in the drunk
593
00:39:21,738 --> 00:39:24,724
tank in Bartlesburg
for the past two nights.
594
00:39:24,796 --> 00:39:26,958
Looks like we're right
back to square one.
595
00:39:35,940 --> 00:39:38,774
Jessica? I'm sorry, Perry.
596
00:39:39,878 --> 00:39:42,507
I should have called first.
Tara and I were just leaving.
597
00:39:42,580 --> 00:39:45,550
Uh, before you go, I'd like
to ask you all a question.
598
00:39:45,617 --> 00:39:47,882
Why are three people...
599
00:39:47,952 --> 00:39:51,787
Whom I consider very dear
and close friends—lying to me?
600
00:39:51,856 --> 00:39:53,620
That's out of line, Jessica.
601
00:39:53,691 --> 00:39:56,889
I've been talking with several
of your old classmates...
602
00:39:56,961 --> 00:39:59,021
Ones who were at the
prom and at the dinner.
603
00:39:59,097 --> 00:40:02,625
And none of them remember
seeing Bill or Alison that evening.
604
00:40:02,700 --> 00:40:05,864
Alison forced you
to back up her story.
605
00:40:05,937 --> 00:40:09,999
I understand, Perry. You
were Bill's closest friend.
606
00:40:10,074 --> 00:40:13,909
- Are you suggesting that maybe
I was in the car with Bill that night?
- No more!
607
00:40:19,817 --> 00:40:22,810
Lying won't bring Bill
back or change the truth.
608
00:40:22,887 --> 00:40:28,087
You and Bill had an argument,
and you left the prom separately.
609
00:40:28,159 --> 00:40:30,094
He was drunk.
610
00:40:31,629 --> 00:40:35,122
He kept trying to make
me leave the prom early...
611
00:40:36,534 --> 00:40:39,163
and go to a motel with him.
612
00:40:39,237 --> 00:40:43,004
I got angry, and I told him— If
that's what he thought of me,
613
00:40:43,074 --> 00:40:46,670
if that's what he wanted, then
he could find himself another girl.
614
00:40:49,781 --> 00:40:53,775
He wanted to take me home, but I wouldn't
get in the car with him. He was too drunk.
615
00:40:53,851 --> 00:40:57,686
Was there anyone in the car
with him when he drove off?
616
00:40:57,755 --> 00:41:00,953
He— He didn't drive anywhere.
He walked back inside.
617
00:41:03,628 --> 00:41:06,325
He said that— [Crying]
618
00:41:06,397 --> 00:41:08,457
he had a trophy to collect.
619
00:41:20,378 --> 00:41:22,370
[Jessica] Hello, Kevin.
620
00:41:27,185 --> 00:41:29,245
You caught me, Jessie.
621
00:41:30,421 --> 00:41:33,858
I was hearing the
roar of the crowd again,
622
00:41:33,925 --> 00:41:36,952
seeing my boys win that
state championship for me.
623
00:41:38,296 --> 00:41:40,390
One of the advantages of age...
624
00:41:40,465 --> 00:41:44,459
The storehouse of memories
that we get to replay over and over.
625
00:41:45,737 --> 00:41:50,232
But after 30 years, to be left
with just a— a handful of memories.
626
00:41:51,309 --> 00:41:53,608
Well, my fault.
627
00:41:53,678 --> 00:41:55,670
I was never one to
plan for the future.
628
00:41:57,248 --> 00:41:59,808
But you did have
the opportunity.
629
00:41:59,884 --> 00:42:03,252
Not many high school teachers
get their hands on $50,000.
630
00:42:05,456 --> 00:42:08,449
What are you talkin' about?
Your share of the missing bonds.
631
00:42:11,796 --> 00:42:14,391
Bill used his half
to buy a car lot.
632
00:42:14,465 --> 00:42:16,856
You probably invested
yours in that football
633
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:19,130
camp that you'd always
dreamed of having.
634
00:42:20,772 --> 00:42:22,968
How did you know?
635
00:42:23,041 --> 00:42:27,843
You said that you left the prom early, at
11:00, because you weren't feeling well.
636
00:42:29,013 --> 00:42:31,005
Not true, Kevin.
637
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:37,512
Look at the clock.
638
00:42:37,588 --> 00:42:42,754
You presented the boys
with their trophy at 11:45,
639
00:42:42,827 --> 00:42:45,524
long after you said
you'd left the dance.
640
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:51,702
You know how many years that
picture's been on my office wall?
641
00:42:51,769 --> 00:42:55,706
Bill Hampton was
always your favorite.
642
00:42:55,773 --> 00:42:58,675
When I realized that you lied
about the time you left the prom,
643
00:42:58,743 --> 00:43:01,008
I knew that there
had to be a reason.
644
00:43:01,079 --> 00:43:05,141
You were the other
person in Bill's car that night.
645
00:43:05,216 --> 00:43:09,347
Hmm. Always said Jessie
Fletcher never missed a trick.
646
00:43:09,420 --> 00:43:11,412
I don't understand, Kevin.
647
00:43:11,489 --> 00:43:14,084
How could a fine man like you
commit a cold-blooded murder...
648
00:43:14,158 --> 00:43:16,559
and live with that
secret for 20 years?
649
00:43:16,627 --> 00:43:19,620
In those days,
Bill was my boy...
650
00:43:19,697 --> 00:43:21,689
The son I never had.
651
00:43:21,766 --> 00:43:24,702
He was roaring drunk prom
night— Too drunk to drive home.
652
00:43:24,769 --> 00:43:27,500
So you put him in your car.
653
00:43:27,572 --> 00:43:31,031
And we had the bad luck to
come upon that man in the Corvette.
654
00:43:31,109 --> 00:43:34,238
Bill kept grabbing the wheel,
trying to get me to turn around...
655
00:43:34,312 --> 00:43:36,872
and take him to that diner
where his friends were.
656
00:43:36,948 --> 00:43:39,918
Just then, the Corvette
came round the bend,
657
00:43:39,984 --> 00:43:42,510
and Bill jerked the
wheel over hard.
658
00:43:42,587 --> 00:43:44,988
I was worried the
driver might be injured.
659
00:43:46,224 --> 00:43:48,487
Bill was scared and
wanted to get outta there
660
00:43:48,511 --> 00:43:50,594
fast. He was too
drunk to think straight.
661
00:43:50,661 --> 00:43:52,926
I swung around and went back.
662
00:43:54,699 --> 00:43:58,101
The door was open
on the passenger side.
663
00:43:58,169 --> 00:44:00,161
I thought the crash
sprang it open.
664
00:44:00,238 --> 00:44:02,798
The driver was
unconscious and bleeding.
665
00:44:02,874 --> 00:44:08,006
Then I saw the bearer bonds scattered
all over the floor from an open valise.
666
00:44:08,079 --> 00:44:10,446
Good as cash.
667
00:44:10,515 --> 00:44:12,541
The driver came to and
saw me holding the bonds.
668
00:44:12,617 --> 00:44:15,644
[Stammers] That's— That's
when I panicked, Jessie.
669
00:44:15,720 --> 00:44:19,657
The sight of all that money
just there for the taking.
670
00:44:19,724 --> 00:44:25,061
I didn't even think about it. I just picked
up a rock, and I hit him—again and again!
671
00:44:26,597 --> 00:44:28,589
I hadn't planned it, Jessie.
672
00:44:28,666 --> 00:44:31,898
But the man was dead. There
were all those bonds and...
673
00:44:31,969 --> 00:44:34,336
- Done was done.
- Yes, but what about Bill?
674
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:37,632
The boy idolized me.
675
00:44:37,708 --> 00:44:39,836
Would have done
anything for me, and he did.
676
00:44:41,145 --> 00:44:45,947
And once Bill sobered up, you swore him
to secrecy in return for half the bonds.
677
00:44:47,552 --> 00:44:49,544
That's right, Jessie.
678
00:44:49,620 --> 00:44:53,523
We sat on those bonds for a couple
of years and then cashed them in.
679
00:44:53,591 --> 00:44:57,824
And allowed Andrew Durbin
to spend 20 years in prison...
680
00:44:57,895 --> 00:45:00,330
for a crime that you committed.
681
00:45:00,398 --> 00:45:02,333
I know. It was a terrible thing.
682
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:06,201
But I've lived with that secret for 20
years, Jessie. Do you understand?
683
00:45:17,882 --> 00:45:19,817
I guess...
684
00:45:21,819 --> 00:45:25,415
I guess I should've known
that nothing good would've...
685
00:45:25,489 --> 00:45:27,549
[Exhales] come of that money.
686
00:45:31,028 --> 00:45:34,226
[Amos] A couple of things I
don't understand, Miss Fletcher.
687
00:45:34,298 --> 00:45:36,733
Could I get you another
piece of pie, Amos?
688
00:45:36,801 --> 00:45:40,033
Well, now that you
offer. It is mighty good.
689
00:45:40,104 --> 00:45:44,565
As I was sayin', I wonder why
Coach Cauldwell and Bill Hampton...
690
00:45:44,642 --> 00:45:47,441
didn't just kill
this fella Durbin.
691
00:45:47,511 --> 00:45:50,970
That wouldn't have been very smart.
That's as good as saying that he was right,
692
00:45:51,048 --> 00:45:53,040
and it would have
opened up the case again.
693
00:45:53,117 --> 00:45:55,052
The other thing.
694
00:45:55,119 --> 00:45:58,817
Coach shot Bill Hampton on the right
side of the head to fake the suicide,
695
00:45:58,889 --> 00:46:00,983
but he knew that
Bill was left-handed.
696
00:46:01,058 --> 00:46:04,324
Yes, but he wanted us think
that a stranger had done it...
697
00:46:04,395 --> 00:46:07,888
Someone that didn't
know that, like Mr. Durbin.
698
00:46:07,965 --> 00:46:09,900
[Doorbell Rings]
Who can that be?
699
00:46:09,967 --> 00:46:12,163
Excuse me, Amos. Mm-hmm.
700
00:46:18,209 --> 00:46:20,235
Mrs. Fletcher. Mr. Durbin.
701
00:46:20,311 --> 00:46:23,372
I came to say good-bye
and to thank you.
702
00:46:23,447 --> 00:46:25,575
I'd rather you didn't.
703
00:46:25,650 --> 00:46:30,350
But I was telling you the truth, and I
did spend 20 years in prison unjustly.
704
00:46:30,421 --> 00:46:33,448
Yes. And I'm sorry.
705
00:46:33,524 --> 00:46:36,187
But you knew when you
came here what would happen.
706
00:46:36,260 --> 00:46:39,628
I wasn't sure, but I did
warn you I was after justice.
707
00:46:39,697 --> 00:46:45,068
I can't help but think that justice
could have been served in a better way.
708
00:46:45,136 --> 00:46:48,903
Oh? Well, you give it
some thought, Mrs. Fletcher.
709
00:46:48,973 --> 00:46:51,807
And when you figure out what
could have been, you let me know.
