Which is precisely why you're the perfect choice. 6 00:00:12,813 --> 00:00:16,374 Well, Harry's never denied knowing her, only killing her. 7 00:00:16,450 --> 00:00:18,543 - He could have been set up. - Not by me. 8 00:00:18,619 --> 00:00:20,280 You're scum, Dixon! And so are you! 9 00:00:20,354 --> 00:00:23,221 Three nights ago, I spotted Marta coming out of the Watergate. 10 00:00:23,290 --> 00:00:26,123 It's the amateurs who tend to get hurt. 11 00:00:28,629 --> 00:00:29,926 [Gasps] 12 00:01:31,558 --> 00:01:33,492 [Man] I figure I got an obligation... 13 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,087 to everybody who voted for me, right, Harry? 14 00:01:37,164 --> 00:01:39,098 Absolutely, Dan. Absolutely. 15 00:01:39,166 --> 00:01:43,159 A lot of these guys, they think a seat in Congress is like a free ride, 16 00:01:43,237 --> 00:01:47,298 a great big cookie jar they can just dip their mitts into... 17 00:01:47,374 --> 00:01:49,308 So where's my old buddy Wendell Joyner? 18 00:01:49,376 --> 00:01:53,142 I thought he was coming. He'll be here, Congressman. 19 00:01:53,213 --> 00:01:58,014 Meanwhile, Harry and I would like to talk to you about that cannery bill, huh? 20 00:01:58,085 --> 00:02:03,955 Harry. Come on. That's business, Mr. Dixon. We're here to party. 21 00:02:05,192 --> 00:02:08,457 [Dan] What time is it? And where is everybody? 22 00:02:08,529 --> 00:02:10,656 [Dixon] Well, we wanted to keep the group small. [Shutter Clicking] 23 00:02:10,731 --> 00:02:13,757 Give us a chance to talk. Talk? About what? 24 00:02:13,834 --> 00:02:15,768 You need a refill, Dan. 25 00:02:15,836 --> 00:02:18,464 Marta, why don't you fill up the congressman's glass? 26 00:02:18,539 --> 00:02:21,201 Good idea, Marta. 27 00:02:21,275 --> 00:02:23,402 Martini on the rocks, luscious. 28 00:02:23,477 --> 00:02:27,880 I don't like this guy. Come on, Ray. He's on the committee. We need him. 29 00:02:27,948 --> 00:02:29,882 [Knocking] Betty. 30 00:02:32,753 --> 00:02:35,483 And another thing. Why did you tell him Joyner was coming? 31 00:02:35,556 --> 00:02:39,048 Joyner hates my guts. I know. It was the only way we could get him here. 32 00:02:41,795 --> 00:02:43,786 Pardon me, young lady. 33 00:02:46,233 --> 00:02:49,669 Dan. Wendell. Why are you so late? Where've you been? 34 00:02:49,736 --> 00:02:51,670 [Dan] We... We were wondering where you were. 35 00:02:51,738 --> 00:02:56,539 - Congressman Joyner, how gracious of you to accept our invitation. - Come on, Dan. 36 00:02:56,610 --> 00:02:59,545 Now surely, Congressman, you're not rushing off? You'll join us for a drink. 37 00:02:59,613 --> 00:03:02,081 Yeah, Wendell. The party's just started. 38 00:03:02,149 --> 00:03:05,118 Dan's right, Congressman. What'll I fix you? 39 00:03:05,185 --> 00:03:08,450 [Sighs] You couldn't leave him alone, could you, Dixon? 40 00:03:08,522 --> 00:03:13,221 - You two rattlesnakes. You find a man's weakness... - Wait a minute, Joyner... 41 00:03:13,293 --> 00:03:15,761 You're scum, Dixon! And so are you! 42 00:03:15,829 --> 00:03:19,959 - Tomorrow I'm making a full report to the House Ethics Committee... - You try it! 43 00:03:20,033 --> 00:03:24,094 With great pleasure! It's about time somebody stood... 44 00:03:25,305 --> 00:03:27,671 - Wendell. - Ohh! 45 00:03:27,741 --> 00:03:29,732 What... What's the matter with him? 46 00:03:31,311 --> 00:03:33,745 Congressman? Get him up on the sofa. 47 00:03:33,814 --> 00:03:36,647 No! Don't move him! Call an ambulance! 48 00:03:36,717 --> 00:03:40,209 - [Shutter Clicking] - No. No. No ambulance. No ambulance. 49 00:03:49,896 --> 00:03:51,921 [Jessica] No bother at all, Eleanor. 50 00:03:51,999 --> 00:03:54,797 Voter registration is a lot more important than my lunch. 51 00:03:54,868 --> 00:03:56,961 [Laughing] [Doorbell Rings] 52 00:03:57,037 --> 00:04:00,803 Ooh, there's somebody at the door. I've got to go. I'll see you at 12:00. 53 00:04:05,212 --> 00:04:07,146 Mrs. Fletcher? Yes? 54 00:04:07,214 --> 00:04:11,173 I'm Harold DeWitt. I'm an aide to the governor, and I'm here on a matter of great urgency. 55 00:04:15,088 --> 00:04:17,579 Dead? I can't believe it. 56 00:04:17,658 --> 00:04:20,559 Congressman Joyner had a serious heart problem. 57 00:04:20,627 --> 00:04:23,255 It's the reason he'd decided to retire. 58 00:04:23,330 --> 00:04:26,595 His housekeeper found him in his bed early this morning. 59 00:04:26,667 --> 00:04:30,194 The news hasn't been released yet. Except to me. 60 00:04:30,270 --> 00:04:35,401 As you know, the party's two most qualified candidates are competing in the primary. 61 00:04:35,475 --> 00:04:39,206 Oh, yes. I've been working with the voter registration committee. 62 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:43,841 Well, normally, the governor would appoint our party's nominee to fill the vacant seat, 63 00:04:43,917 --> 00:04:47,614 but we won't know who that is for another six weeks at least. 64 00:04:47,688 --> 00:04:52,455 That's why the governor is going to ask you to fill the seat, on an interim basis, of course. 65 00:04:52,526 --> 00:04:57,463 Me? Oh, don't be silly. I'm not a politician. 66 00:04:57,531 --> 00:04:59,863 Which is precisely why you're the perfect choice. 67 00:05:00,934 --> 00:05:04,461 You have no political ambitions, you're nationally known, 68 00:05:04,538 --> 00:05:06,563 and your integrity is not in question. 69 00:05:07,908 --> 00:05:11,776 Mrs. Fletcher, several important pieces of legislation... 70 00:05:11,845 --> 00:05:14,507 are going to be considered in the next few weeks. 71 00:05:14,581 --> 00:05:16,981 Maine's interests must be represented. 72 00:05:18,385 --> 00:05:20,512 I don't know what to say. 73 00:05:20,587 --> 00:05:26,526 Say yes. Your state needs you, if only for a few weeks. 74 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,068 [Ringing] 75 00:05:36,136 --> 00:05:39,731 This is Diana Simms. Oh, yes, Mr. Speaker. 76 00:05:39,806 --> 00:05:43,105 No, I'm sorry. Mrs. Fletcher hasn't arrived yet. 77 00:05:43,176 --> 00:05:46,907 She's being met at the airport by our Media Liaison Officer, Joe Blinn. 78 00:05:46,980 --> 00:05:50,074 [Jessica] I have gotten red-carpet treatment before, Mr. Blinn, 79 00:05:50,150 --> 00:05:52,118 but, uh, ooh, nothing like this. 80 00:05:52,185 --> 00:05:55,052 Well, you better get used to it. And, please, uh, call me Joe. 81 00:05:55,122 --> 00:05:57,420 We've, uh, checked you into a suite at the Embassy Towers. 82 00:05:57,491 --> 00:05:59,482 If you want something fancier, let me know. 83 00:05:59,559 --> 00:06:03,893 Oh, I'm sure that'll be fine. My job is to get your name in the papers, Mrs. Fletcher, 84 00:06:03,964 --> 00:06:06,899 or to keep it out, whatever you prefer. 85 00:06:06,967 --> 00:06:09,868 You've inherited a crackerjack staff from Congressman Joyner. 86 00:06:09,936 --> 00:06:12,302 So your biggest problem should be deciding where to have lunch. 87 00:06:12,372 --> 00:06:16,468 Joe, even though I'll only be here for a few weeks, 88 00:06:16,543 --> 00:06:20,741 I intend doing this job to the very best of my ability. I am sure you will. 89 00:06:20,814 --> 00:06:23,874 We'll get along just fine if you try to remember... 90 00:06:23,950 --> 00:06:28,853 that I'm not your addlepated great-aunt from East Nowhere. 91 00:06:28,922 --> 00:06:33,518 [Both Chuckling] Whoops. I'm sorry, Mrs. Fletcher. 92 00:06:33,593 --> 00:06:35,618 Let me start again. 93 00:06:35,695 --> 00:06:39,791 Whatever I can do for you, consider it done. Thank you. 94 00:06:51,945 --> 00:06:54,914 [Chuckling] [Sighs] 95 00:06:54,981 --> 00:06:58,417 My goodness, this is impressive. Yes, it is, isn't it? 96 00:06:58,485 --> 00:07:01,648 Wait'll the first time you step foot on the House floor. It'll knock you over. 97 00:07:01,721 --> 00:07:03,780 [Laughs] 98 00:07:04,925 --> 00:07:09,362 Mrs. Fletcher. Dan Keppner, Mrs. Fletcher. 99 00:07:09,429 --> 00:07:11,954 We share a couple of committees. Oh, how do you do? 100 00:07:12,032 --> 00:07:15,468 Congressman Joyner was my friend. His death was tragic. 101 00:07:15,535 --> 00:07:18,993 I agree, Mr. Keppner. Look, uh, 102 00:07:19,072 --> 00:07:21,006 I'd like to drop by later. 103 00:07:21,074 --> 00:07:23,941 There are several important matters that I'd like to discuss, 104 00:07:24,010 --> 00:07:27,844 particularly the Maine cannery bill. Oh, yes, of course. Well, I'm so glad we met. 105 00:07:27,914 --> 00:07:29,905 My pleasure. 106 00:07:31,618 --> 00:07:34,849 What a nice man. Where's he from? East Nowhere. 107 00:07:36,189 --> 00:07:40,523 Diana. Oh, Mrs. Fletcher, welcome. Diana Simms. 108 00:07:40,594 --> 00:07:43,529 Oh, how do you do, Miss Simms?

Indispensable. 110 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:51,063 I'd introduce you to the rest of the staff, but as you can see, it's lunchtime. 111 00:07:51,137 --> 00:07:54,504 Speaking of which, I am off. Uh, be back around twoish. 112 00:07:54,574 --> 00:07:56,565 Thanks for the lift, Joe.

But I don't have an incoming staff. 119 00:08:22,402 --> 00:08:26,862 It's customary for a congressperson to appoint his or her own people. 120 00:08:26,940 --> 00:08:29,374 Diana, don't you like your job? 121 00:08:30,443 --> 00:08:32,775 Of course. Well, in that case, 122 00:08:32,846 --> 00:08:36,976 Congressman Joyner's staff will do me just fine. 123 00:08:37,050 --> 00:08:39,075 [Chuckles] 124 00:08:41,721 --> 00:08:44,884 - [Knocking] - Yes? 125 00:08:44,958 --> 00:08:47,222 Mrs. Fletcher? Yes. 126 00:08:47,294 --> 00:08:50,127 Harry Parmel, an attorney by trade. 127 00:08:50,196 --> 00:08:53,927 By choice, an acknowledged expert on this city's finest restaurants. 128 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,468 Would you do me the honor of joining me for lunch? 129 00:08:56,536 --> 00:08:58,527 Why, thank you. Uh... 130 00:09:01,541 --> 00:09:06,808 You're very kind, Mr. Parmel, but I ate on the plane. Uh, perhaps another time. 131 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:08,814 At your convenience, dear lady. 132 00:09:08,882 --> 00:09:13,785 I look forward to the opportunity of working with you closely whenever I'm needed. May I? 133 00:09:13,853 --> 00:09:15,821 Thank you. Thank you. 134 00:09:15,889 --> 00:09:17,880 Diana. 135 00:09:21,895 --> 00:09:23,760 And what was that? 136 00:09:23,830 --> 00:09:27,493 Harry is a lobbyist for Pendrake Foods. 137 00:09:27,567 --> 00:09:31,128 To Harry, "working closely" translates to wining and dining... 138 00:09:31,204 --> 00:09:33,866 and doling out dollars to get you to vote his way. 139 00:09:33,940 --> 00:09:38,070 The opening salvo? Mm-hmm. Most lobbyists are good people. 140 00:09:38,144 --> 00:09:42,171 They know the rules. Harry not only breaks the rules, he's never heard of them. 141 00:09:42,248 --> 00:09:46,446 I can see that I am going to need a fast education. 142 00:09:48,254 --> 00:09:51,690 [Joe] Mrs. Fletcher, I must tell you that I enjoyed your last book very much. 143 00:09:51,758 --> 00:09:53,726 Oh, I'm so glad. When's the next one? 144 00:09:53,793 --> 00:09:56,057 Well, we hope to have it out in about three months. 145 00:09:56,129 --> 00:09:58,597 Mm, I can't wait. 146 00:09:58,665 --> 00:10:01,133 [Woman] May I help you? Yes, Mrs. Fletcher... 2560. 147 00:10:01,201 --> 00:10:03,931 Oh, yes, Mrs. Fletcher. So nice to have you with us. 148 00:10:04,004 --> 00:10:05,938 Thank you. Your luggage is already up in your room. 149 00:10:06,006 --> 00:10:07,940 Oh, good. I'll get your key. 150 00:10:08,008 --> 00:10:10,374 Mm-hmm. Well, if you don't need me anymore? 151 00:10:10,443 --> 00:10:13,844 No, you run along, Joe. Got a heavy date with a lady from the S.E.C. 152 00:10:13,913 --> 00:10:16,177 Ah, ears like an elephant. 153 00:10:16,249 --> 00:10:21,016 Last time she dropped a stock tip on me, I just about cornered the entire sports car market. 154 00:10:21,087 --> 00:10:23,988 Mm. Doesn't sound very honest to me. 155 00:10:24,057 --> 00:10:28,494 In this city, that is a word for which there is no clear definition. Well, good night. 156 00:10:28,561 --> 00:10:32,497 Well, I'll see you tomorrow and thanks. [Bell Dings] 157 00:10:32,565 --> 00:10:36,467 [Woman] Show Mrs. Fletcher to her room, please. [Jessica] Thank you. 158 00:10:47,714 --> 00:10:49,705 [Coins Clinking] 159 00:10:51,551 --> 00:10:54,486 [Rings] 160 00:10:56,990 --> 00:11:01,518 - Yes? - Mrs. Fletcher? Dan Keppner. We met today in the hall. 161 00:11:01,594 --> 00:11:04,392 Oh, yes. Sorry if I woke you, but... 162 00:11:04,464 --> 00:11:07,900 Look, um, there's something I have to talk to you about. 163 00:11:07,967 --> 00:11:13,906 Uh, well, uh, actually, Mr. Keppner, l-I'm in bed.

Somebody moved his body. 183 00:13:10,256 --> 00:13:13,282 And when people move bodies, I ask myself why. 184 00:13:14,494 --> 00:13:17,361 Well, I'm sorry, Lieutenant, but I was in Maine when the congressman died. 185 00:13:17,430 --> 00:13:22,163 Oh, no.

I read up on it last night. It's a very complicated issue. 217 00:15:43,209 --> 00:15:47,703 It's a classic case of business interests versus the environmentalists'. 218 00:15:47,780 --> 00:15:52,217 Congressman Joyner was going to vote against the measure. 219 00:15:52,285 --> 00:15:54,981 Well, I may, too, Diana, 220 00:15:55,054 --> 00:16:00,014 after I've sifted through the testimony and had a chance to make up my own mind. 221 00:16:01,294 --> 00:16:06,288 - Of course. - Diana, I'm sorry, but I have to ask you something. 222 00:16:06,366 --> 00:16:10,166 The police talked to me this morning. 223 00:16:10,236 --> 00:16:14,195 They think that Congressman Joyner did not die in his bed. 224 00:16:14,273 --> 00:16:17,674 What? They say that he died elsewhere... 225 00:16:17,744 --> 00:16:20,042 and that his body was moved. 226 00:16:20,113 --> 00:16:22,411 Mrs. Fletcher, that's awful. 227 00:16:22,482 --> 00:16:27,476 Now, someone is trying very hard to muddy some waters. 228 00:16:28,821 --> 00:16:33,224 Diana, where was he supposed to be that night? 229 00:16:33,292 --> 00:16:38,423 Where he was every night.

Lieutenant, if you believe his story, 310 00:21:39,665 --> 00:21:44,364 you have to believe that he was dragged unconscious from that apartment and dumped in that alley. 311 00:21:44,437 --> 00:21:48,271 Would you mind giving me your jacket?

That's very generous of you. 527 00:36:29,421 --> 00:36:34,256 You don't know how much this cannery bill means to my company and to me personally. 528 00:36:34,326 --> 00:36:39,286 Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you wanted to chat with me about Marta Craig's murder. 529 00:36:39,364 --> 00:36:43,357 I wouldn't know anything about that. I hardly knew the woman. 530 00:36:43,435 --> 00:36:48,304 Amazing. You didn't choke, and you hardly blinked an eyelash. 531 00:36:48,373 --> 00:36:52,241 What? Lying is a very difficult art, Mr. Dixon, 532 00:36:52,310 --> 00:36:57,043 but you have mastered it beautifully. Mrs. Fletcher, I assure you... 533 00:36:57,115 --> 00:37:00,448 I know. You want to assure me that it wasn't you who chased Marta Craig... 534 00:37:00,518 --> 00:37:03,817 out of the Watergate three nights ago. 535 00:37:03,888 --> 00:37:06,516 Mrs. Fletcher, we play a game in this town. 536 00:37:06,591 --> 00:37:09,651 Those of us who are good at it, get things done. 537 00:37:09,728 --> 00:37:12,754 It's the amateurs who tend to get hurt. 538 00:37:22,674 --> 00:37:25,404 Morning, Diana. Good morning. 539 00:37:25,477 --> 00:37:29,072 I ought to warn you Ray Dixon's already been sniffing around. Yes, I know. 540 00:37:29,147 --> 00:37:33,083 The committee meeting's less than two hours away. Is there anything I can help you with... 541 00:37:33,151 --> 00:37:38,248 - Mrs. Fletcher? - Hmm? 542 00:37:39,424 --> 00:37:42,985 Oh. Diana, I have to go out. 543 00:37:43,061 --> 00:37:45,325 Don't let them start the vote without me. 544 00:37:45,397 --> 00:37:47,456 But the meeting starts in less than two hours. 545 00:37:53,038 --> 00:37:57,737 [Dan] The problem of waste was carefully researched... 546 00:37:57,809 --> 00:38:02,212 by Dr. A. Bruno Townshend... 547 00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:06,341 of the University of Western Minnesota... 548 00:38:06,418 --> 00:38:09,046 in his 1981 tract... 549 00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:13,648 Investments in our Coastline, a sociological treatise... 550 00:38:13,725 --> 00:38:16,353 published by Acorn Press. 551 00:38:18,730 --> 00:38:21,927 Uh. Joe, I'm so glad you're here. 552 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:23,968 Aren't you supposed to be in the committee meeting? 553 00:38:24,035 --> 00:38:27,232 Oh, never mind that. Come with me. 554 00:38:27,305 --> 00:38:29,296 Uh, later. 555 00:38:34,879 --> 00:38:36,813 So? 556 00:38:36,881 --> 00:38:42,285 I just got a most wonderful lead from Kaye Sheppard. 557 00:38:42,354 --> 00:38:46,586 It seems a jilted boyfriend of Marta's was hanging around her apartment... 558 00:38:46,658 --> 00:38:50,150 when she brought Dan home with her. What? 559 00:38:50,228 --> 00:38:55,689 A few minutes later, the boyfriend saw another man going inside. 560 00:38:55,767 --> 00:39:00,261 - Now, he didn't get a very good look, but it had to be Ray Dixon. - Are you sure? 561 00:39:00,338 --> 00:39:03,307 Well, after that terrible fight they had at the Watergate, 562 00:39:03,375 --> 00:39:05,843 Marta was probably blackmailing him too. 563 00:39:05,910 --> 00:39:09,903 He went inside the apartment, saw Dan passed out, 564 00:39:09,981 --> 00:39:13,883 killed Marta and blamed it on Dan. 565 00:39:13,952 --> 00:39:16,716 Oh, boy. If that were true, then... 566 00:39:16,788 --> 00:39:18,756 You know, he probably took those photographs too... 567 00:39:18,823 --> 00:39:22,418 the ones at the party when Congressman Joyner died. 568 00:39:22,494 --> 00:39:27,124 - Joe, we have to get inside his penthouse. - Well, how're we going to do that? 569 00:39:28,199 --> 00:39:32,226 Ohh, for heaven's sake! I've got to vote on that bill. 570 00:39:32,303 --> 00:39:37,138 Right after the committee meeting, I want you to meet with me and Kaye. 571 00:39:37,208 --> 00:39:40,405 We'll talk to Lieutenant Mendelsohn, and we'll try to get a court order. 572 00:39:40,478 --> 00:39:44,073 Right. It sounds like a real break. Oh, I'm sure it is. 573 00:39:45,450 --> 00:39:48,419 [Raspy Voice] It's not just a question of pollution, 574 00:39:48,486 --> 00:39:51,978 but the effect of biodegradables on the coastline. 575 00:39:53,024 --> 00:39:57,290 Uh, Mr. Keppner, may I interpret this brief pause... 576 00:39:57,362 --> 00:40:01,890 as a sign that you have finally finished stating your position on this bill? 577 00:40:01,966 --> 00:40:05,663 I have just a few more observations, Mr. Chairman. 578 00:40:08,273 --> 00:40:13,768 But, in the interest of time, I will defer to my esteemed colleague from Maine. 579 00:40:13,845 --> 00:40:19,112 - Very well, but this is taking much too long, you know. - I'm so sorry to be late. 580 00:40:19,184 --> 00:40:22,347 [Chairman] Perhaps now we could put this measure to a vote, 581 00:40:22,420 --> 00:40:26,413 specifically whether to permit the construction of a cannery at... 582 00:40:26,491 --> 00:40:28,425 McHenry's Point in Maine. 583 00:40:28,493 --> 00:40:34,125 Uh, excuse me, Mr. Chairman. Would it be possible for me to say a few words? 584 00:40:34,199 --> 00:40:37,362 I would hope, Mrs. Fletcher, that they will be considerably fewer... 585 00:40:37,435 --> 00:40:40,427 than those voiced by your colleague from New York. 586 00:40:41,906 --> 00:40:46,707 Uh, I have studied this bill very carefully. 587 00:40:46,778 --> 00:40:48,712 And heaven knows... 588 00:40:48,780 --> 00:40:53,342 this cannery would certainly bring a lot of new jobs to my district. 589 00:40:53,418 --> 00:40:58,754 And if that were the only consideration, I would vote for it without any hesitation. 590 00:40:58,823 --> 00:41:01,849 However, I've discovered that there are... 591 00:41:01,926 --> 00:41:06,056 seven abandoned canneries in my state. 592 00:41:06,130 --> 00:41:11,295 Can you imagine? Seven. No longer working, no longer employing people. 593 00:41:11,369 --> 00:41:14,964 And why? Because the owners walked away from them... 594 00:41:15,039 --> 00:41:19,237 rather than spend money to modernize their operations. 595 00:41:19,310 --> 00:41:23,144 Now, I believe two of them are your companies, Mr. Dixon. 596 00:41:24,215 --> 00:41:29,551 Now, I realize that there is expense involved in updating equipment... 597 00:41:29,621 --> 00:41:33,955 and perhaps those locations are no longer as convenient... 598 00:41:34,025 --> 00:41:36,050 as McHenry's Point. 599 00:41:36,127 --> 00:41:39,563 But, you know, I'm very upset by this notion... 600 00:41:39,631 --> 00:41:43,123 that we can just dispose of buildings or people... 601 00:41:43,201 --> 00:41:47,399 when they become a little troublesome or unprofitable. 602 00:41:47,472 --> 00:41:50,703 Almost 5,000 people... 603 00:41:50,775 --> 00:41:53,403 used to work at those abandoned canneries. 604 00:41:53,478 --> 00:41:57,505 Now, that's truly disgraceful, to put people out of work, 605 00:41:57,582 --> 00:41:59,709 to abandon perfectly good buildings... 606 00:41:59,784 --> 00:42:04,278 because our tax laws make it financially advantageous. 607 00:42:04,355 --> 00:42:10,225 Well, I'm sorry, but I think that sort of attitude is not only preposterous, but it's inhuman. 608 00:42:10,295 --> 00:42:14,425 Now, the Pendrake Corporation doesn't need a new cannery. 609 00:42:14,499 --> 00:42:19,163 They need to put the canneries they already own back into operation. 610 00:42:19,237 --> 00:42:23,901 Now, Mr. Dixon, you and your fellow canners have been taking a lot out of the state of Maine... 611 00:42:23,975 --> 00:42:27,376 and I think it's high time you started putting something back. 612 00:42:40,258 --> 00:42:42,453 Order! Order, please! 613 00:43:30,274 --> 00:43:33,175 It's pretty obvious, Mr. Blinn. 614 00:43:33,244 --> 00:43:38,648 Give us cops credit for a little intelligence. Ray Dixon would be smarter than that. 615 00:43:38,716 --> 00:43:41,184 [Chuckles] 616 00:43:41,252 --> 00:43:43,812 I don't know what you're talking about. Is that so? 617 00:43:43,888 --> 00:43:46,015 [Knocking] 618 00:43:51,029 --> 00:43:54,624 I'm sorry. I raced as fast as I could. You're just in time. 619 00:43:56,200 --> 00:44:00,000 Mrs. Fletcher, this is not what it seems. 620 00:44:00,071 --> 00:44:03,234 Don't be silly, Joe. Of course it is. 621 00:44:03,307 --> 00:44:06,674 Those are the photos from the party, aren't they? 622 00:44:09,814 --> 00:44:13,841 Yes. I found them in the desk. Really? 623 00:44:13,918 --> 00:44:19,288 You know, until this morning, I was totally baffled. 624 00:44:19,357 --> 00:44:22,190 Of course, I knew that Mr. Keppner was innocent... 625 00:44:22,260 --> 00:44:26,629 and I was also pretty sure that Marta had been murdered by the person she was working for. 626 00:44:26,698 --> 00:44:30,031 What happened Joe? Did she get greedy? 627 00:44:30,101 --> 00:44:35,505 Look, you said Dixon was guilty. That's why I'm here. 628 00:44:35,573 --> 00:44:38,337 Please, Joe. What happened to your gloves? 57633
