1
00:00:00,292 --> 00:00:02,336
[Jessica] Tonight on Murder, She Wrote.
2
00:00:02,461 --> 00:00:04,130
It's gonna be a disaster!
3
00:00:04,213 --> 00:00:05,715
What are we talking about?
4
00:00:05,798 --> 00:00:07,925
You told him if the petition didn't work,
5
00:00:08,008 --> 00:00:09,802
you'd consider financing
6
00:00:09,885 --> 00:00:12,346
a naval bombardment of the project?
7
00:00:12,430 --> 00:00:14,765
Tell the city council they've got 48 hours
8
00:00:14,849 --> 00:00:16,934
to make it go away, or
we'll yank the project.
9
00:00:17,017 --> 00:00:19,145
Security's 100%. 1500 hours.
10
00:00:19,228 --> 00:00:21,647
See? It's just what I said before
11
00:00:21,731 --> 00:00:23,399
he's working for the secret service
12
00:00:23,482 --> 00:00:25,401
or the C.I.A. or some such.
13
00:00:25,484 --> 00:00:27,862
It's about a lot of people
being cheated out of money.
14
00:00:27,945 --> 00:00:30,030
I can think of about a half a million
reasons why.
15
00:00:30,114 --> 00:00:32,366
I'm not gonna lose you, not to that tramp!
16
00:00:32,450 --> 00:00:33,993
I'm not going anywhere till I've nailed
17
00:00:34,076 --> 00:00:35,953
whoever's responsible
for my mother's death.
18
00:00:36,036 --> 00:00:37,955
I'm worried for Grady
and for everyone else.
19
00:00:38,038 --> 00:00:40,708
There's something about it
that isn't quite right.
20
00:00:47,089 --> 00:00:48,007
[music playing]
21
00:00:48,090 --> 00:00:50,092
[music playing]
22
00:01:28,839 --> 00:01:32,051
[music playing]
23
00:01:36,013 --> 00:01:39,308
[music playing]
24
00:01:41,477 --> 00:01:43,729
[overlapping chatter]
25
00:01:43,813 --> 00:01:45,940
Oh, come on, Travis!
26
00:01:46,023 --> 00:01:48,526
It sounds fabulous. It's just what
the area needs.
27
00:01:48,609 --> 00:01:49,944
Your nephew is to be commended, Jessica.
28
00:01:50,027 --> 00:01:51,403
For what? Are you kidding?
29
00:01:51,487 --> 00:01:53,113
It's gonna be a disaster.
30
00:01:53,197 --> 00:01:54,907
Wait, wait, wait! Just a minute!
31
00:01:54,990 --> 00:01:56,951
What are we talking about here?
32
00:01:57,034 --> 00:01:58,786
You know, Jessica. This new monster
automobile plant
33
00:01:58,869 --> 00:02:00,412
they're gonna build.
34
00:02:00,496 --> 00:02:01,789
Wait! Wait! Wait! What plant?
35
00:02:01,872 --> 00:02:03,415
It's a cultural center.
36
00:02:03,499 --> 00:02:06,210
[woman] I heard it's a gambling casino.
37
00:02:06,293 --> 00:02:09,004
You're both crazy. It's a car factory.
38
00:02:09,088 --> 00:02:11,632
Can you guys imagine the pollution?
39
00:02:11,715 --> 00:02:13,425
And the traffic?
40
00:02:13,509 --> 00:02:15,553
Where did you hear all this?
41
00:02:15,636 --> 00:02:16,971
From Seth Hazlitt. Seth Hazlitt.
42
00:02:17,054 --> 00:02:18,264
It's all over town.
43
00:02:18,347 --> 00:02:20,307
It's awful, is what it is.
44
00:02:20,391 --> 00:02:22,601
Which, Jessica? What did Grady tell you?
45
00:02:22,685 --> 00:02:24,019
I'm gonna get up a petition.
46
00:02:24,103 --> 00:02:26,021
[all chattering]
47
00:02:26,105 --> 00:02:29,650
Travis, stop. Now, Grady
hasn't told me anything.
48
00:02:29,733 --> 00:02:32,486
I mean, he has been sworn to secrecy.
49
00:02:32,570 --> 00:02:34,989
Right. So until these
Columbus Ventures people
50
00:02:35,072 --> 00:02:37,408
make their official announcement tonight,
51
00:02:37,491 --> 00:02:39,618
everybody should just cool it, okay?
52
00:02:39,702 --> 00:02:42,496
Go on about your business. Let's go.
53
00:02:42,580 --> 00:02:44,665
Go to the town meeting hall. Go on.
54
00:02:44,748 --> 00:02:46,292
Get going. Let's go.
55
00:02:46,375 --> 00:02:48,794
Thank you, Mort. No problem, Mrs. F.
56
00:02:48,878 --> 00:02:51,130
So, uh, just between us,
57
00:02:51,213 --> 00:02:53,340
it is a big league hockey franchise,
isn't it?
58
00:02:53,424 --> 00:02:56,468
Mort! I just want a shot
at some good seats.
59
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,101
[Grady] I just took this photo of
little Frankie, aunt Jess.
60
00:03:04,184 --> 00:03:06,103
[laughs] Grady, do you remember
61
00:03:06,186 --> 00:03:08,355
what young Frank's first sentence was?
62
00:03:08,439 --> 00:03:09,982
"Where did my nickel go?"
"Where did my nickel go?"
63
00:03:10,065 --> 00:03:11,775
[laughs] Yes.
64
00:03:11,859 --> 00:03:14,278
Before that, he couldn't put
two words together.
65
00:03:14,361 --> 00:03:17,364
Oh, boy! It's hard to believe he's
five years old.
66
00:03:17,448 --> 00:03:19,033
What's harder to believe
67
00:03:19,116 --> 00:03:21,702
is why you're being so all-fired secretive
68
00:03:21,785 --> 00:03:24,121
about this new job of yours
69
00:03:24,204 --> 00:03:27,458
this Columbus Adventures outfit.
70
00:03:27,541 --> 00:03:29,960
[phone ringing] Oh, excuse me.
71
00:03:32,504 --> 00:03:33,714
Hello?
72
00:03:34,673 --> 00:03:37,927
Yes, Mr. Carmody, he's right here.
73
00:03:43,265 --> 00:03:44,892
Grady Fletcher speaking, Mr. Carmody.
74
00:03:44,975 --> 00:03:46,936
Welcome to cabot cove.
75
00:03:47,019 --> 00:03:48,854
Yes. Is everything in place?
76
00:03:48,938 --> 00:03:51,607
The works. No, no.
Distribution's all arranged.
77
00:03:51,690 --> 00:03:53,317
Good job, Grady.
78
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,235
Is there any sense that
there've been any leaks?
79
00:03:55,319 --> 00:03:58,238
Nope. So far, not a cloud in the sky.
80
00:03:58,322 --> 00:04:00,157
Yeah. I'd say it looks promising.
81
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:01,825
Great.
82
00:04:01,909 --> 00:04:04,787
There you are, miss shaw. 105.
83
00:04:04,870 --> 00:04:09,124
Mr. Carmody, 107. And Mr. Buffum, 109.
84
00:04:09,208 --> 00:04:10,793
And the best of luck with your project.
85
00:04:10,876 --> 00:04:12,461
It sure sounds exciting.
86
00:04:12,544 --> 00:04:14,338
And believe me, as much as I pleaded,
87
00:04:14,421 --> 00:04:16,256
Grady wouldn't divulge any of the details.
88
00:04:16,340 --> 00:04:19,551
But there's sure a lot
of rumors flying around.
89
00:04:19,635 --> 00:04:22,012
And you'll hear all about it at the
reception, Mr. Farmer.
90
00:04:22,096 --> 00:04:24,181
Well, you've got yourself
one hard charger there
91
00:04:24,264 --> 00:04:26,350
in Grady Fletcher, Mr. Carmody.
92
00:04:26,433 --> 00:04:28,060
[phone ringing]
93
00:04:28,143 --> 00:04:30,396
Hill house.
94
00:04:30,479 --> 00:04:33,023
Everett! I'm terribly hurt.
95
00:04:33,107 --> 00:04:35,025
The least you could do is return my calls.
96
00:04:35,109 --> 00:04:36,694
Oh, terrific.
97
00:04:38,153 --> 00:04:40,864
Lorna. Lorna, it's over.
98
00:04:40,948 --> 00:04:43,367
No! You can't do this to me!
99
00:04:43,450 --> 00:04:47,538
Look, darling, nothing
has changed with me.
100
00:04:47,621 --> 00:04:50,290
I mean, I'll still take you back
on whatever terms,
101
00:04:50,374 --> 00:04:52,793
no questions asked. We've done this.
102
00:04:52,876 --> 00:04:55,337
Go back to bar harbor,
103
00:04:55,421 --> 00:04:57,381
and I suggest you speak to an attorney.
104
00:04:57,464 --> 00:05:00,134
Everett, I'm not going to
lose you! Not to that tramp.
105
00:05:03,095 --> 00:05:06,348
Well, Grady, whatever it is
you're working on,
106
00:05:06,432 --> 00:05:09,101
it can't be more important
than our beacon.
107
00:05:09,184 --> 00:05:10,811
Your what?
108
00:05:10,894 --> 00:05:13,564
It's the old cabot cove lighthouse.
109
00:05:13,647 --> 00:05:16,191
It hasn't been used for years,
it's falling apart.
110
00:05:16,275 --> 00:05:20,112
Tragic. A landmark, part of our history.
111
00:05:20,195 --> 00:05:24,074
The county's calling it
an attractive nuisance.
112
00:05:24,158 --> 00:05:26,326
They're going to tear it down
the first of the month.
113
00:05:26,410 --> 00:05:28,412
Listen, seth, what I'm working on
could possibly
114
00:05:28,495 --> 00:05:30,372
after a lot of soul-searching,
115
00:05:30,456 --> 00:05:32,916
I've decided it really isn't them.
116
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,336
I was probably using the wrong approach.
117
00:05:36,420 --> 00:05:38,839
That may be a first.
118
00:05:38,922 --> 00:05:40,758
And so, I have come up
119
00:05:40,841 --> 00:05:43,719
with what I think is
an irresistible appeal,
120
00:05:43,802 --> 00:05:45,763
one that will result
121
00:05:45,846 --> 00:05:48,891
in an outpouring of money and volunteers.
122
00:05:48,974 --> 00:05:50,517
Money to buy the rocks
123
00:05:50,601 --> 00:05:52,561
and volunteers to throw them at you.
124
00:05:54,897 --> 00:05:57,566
[Grady] Honest to god, Pete,
I haven't said a word to anyone.
125
00:05:57,649 --> 00:05:59,735
Not the manager, not even to my aunt Jess.
126
00:05:59,818 --> 00:06:02,780
The manager really didn't know
anything, Pete.
127
00:06:02,863 --> 00:06:05,282
Okay. Get down to the banquet room and
check the arrangements.
128
00:06:05,365 --> 00:06:06,909
Yes, Sir. Thank you, toni.
129
00:06:06,992 --> 00:06:08,702
Hey, you're part of the team.
130
00:06:08,786 --> 00:06:10,370
-Oh, hi, Everett.
-Grady.
131
00:06:10,454 --> 00:06:12,664
Hey. Hey.
132
00:06:12,748 --> 00:06:14,875
Ooh, do you know how to pick 'em, Pete.
133
00:06:14,958 --> 00:06:16,919
Between all that straight-arrowness
134
00:06:17,002 --> 00:06:18,921
and his connection to the area's most
famous citizen,
135
00:06:19,004 --> 00:06:20,506
he is pure gold.
136
00:06:20,589 --> 00:06:22,257
We'll see how big of a turnout it gets us.
137
00:06:22,341 --> 00:06:25,260
Everett, have you gotten rid of Lorna yet?
138
00:06:25,344 --> 00:06:28,180
Look, Peter, I--
139
00:06:28,263 --> 00:06:32,101
Do it, before she makes real trouble.
140
00:06:36,688 --> 00:06:38,857
I never said anything about a car factory
141
00:06:38,941 --> 00:06:40,526
or a casino.
142
00:06:40,609 --> 00:06:42,277
My guess is, they just lost control
143
00:06:42,361 --> 00:06:44,154
of their imaginations.
144
00:06:44,238 --> 00:06:47,324
Oh, yeah. There seems to be
a lot of that going around.
145
00:06:47,407 --> 00:06:50,577
Jess, did you get some material for me
about the lighthouse?
146
00:06:50,661 --> 00:06:52,037
Oh, yes, I certainly did.
147
00:06:52,121 --> 00:06:54,081
I came across these at the library.
148
00:06:54,164 --> 00:06:56,708
They've got a lot about the early history
of the lighthouse,
149
00:06:56,792 --> 00:06:58,585
including some good illustrations.
150
00:06:58,669 --> 00:07:00,254
Thank you.
151
00:07:00,337 --> 00:07:01,880
Oh, my, we'd better get
over to hill house
152
00:07:01,964 --> 00:07:03,924
or we're gonna miss the big moment.
153
00:07:04,007 --> 00:07:06,343
If I've forgotten anything,
it may not be all that big.
154
00:07:06,426 --> 00:07:09,388
I've tagged several pages that might
give you a good hook.
155
00:07:09,471 --> 00:07:11,181
The hook I showed you last night
156
00:07:11,265 --> 00:07:13,142
will do just fine, thank you.
157
00:07:13,225 --> 00:07:15,894
Ah, Doc, except, uh, maybe for the worm
hanging from it.
158
00:07:40,294 --> 00:07:41,962
[lock clicks]
159
00:07:46,884 --> 00:07:50,304
Our plan for this magnificent coastal area
160
00:07:50,387 --> 00:07:54,391
between the towns of
cabot cove and craggy neck--
161
00:07:54,474 --> 00:07:57,477
With its boat basin, condos,
162
00:07:57,561 --> 00:08:02,191
golf courses, hotels, theaters,
and convention center--
163
00:08:02,274 --> 00:08:03,942
Has been scrupulously designed
164
00:08:04,026 --> 00:08:07,029
to protect its natural
beauty and ecology.
165
00:08:11,825 --> 00:08:14,119
And now I'd like to introduce a gentleman
known to many of you.
166
00:08:14,203 --> 00:08:16,580
Our financial muscle,
167
00:08:16,663 --> 00:08:18,498
and the man who's paying for all this,
168
00:08:18,582 --> 00:08:20,459
Mr. Everett Buffum.
169
00:08:20,542 --> 00:08:22,461
[applause]
170
00:08:24,338 --> 00:08:25,756
[Peter] Again, please,
171
00:08:25,839 --> 00:08:28,050
let's hear it for Everett Buffum.
172
00:08:49,488 --> 00:08:52,199
[music playing]
173
00:08:52,282 --> 00:08:53,408
[knocking at door]
174
00:08:57,829 --> 00:08:59,248
Housekeeper.
175
00:09:09,716 --> 00:09:11,093
[door closes]
176
00:09:19,476 --> 00:09:22,396
[Everett] If I wasn't totally convinced
177
00:09:22,479 --> 00:09:26,066
that this is going to be a
marvelous plus for our community,
178
00:09:26,149 --> 00:09:29,236
bringing a dramatic increase
in tax revenues,
179
00:09:29,319 --> 00:09:33,448
jobs, property values and prosperity,
180
00:09:33,532 --> 00:09:35,492
well, there's just no way
181
00:09:35,575 --> 00:09:38,412
I would have become even a minor investor.
182
00:09:38,495 --> 00:09:40,622
I hope that answers
your question, miss Higgins.
183
00:09:40,706 --> 00:09:45,002
Now, please help yourselves
to our bar and buffet,
184
00:09:45,085 --> 00:09:48,922
while my associates and I try
to address any other concerns
185
00:09:49,006 --> 00:09:51,466
you might have on a one-to-one basis.
Thank you.
186
00:09:51,550 --> 00:09:53,719
[applause]
187
00:09:53,802 --> 00:09:56,513
Doesn't sound very good to me.
188
00:09:59,850 --> 00:10:02,936
[woman] I'm telling you,
this is really gonna work well with...
189
00:10:03,020 --> 00:10:05,188
[Travis] this is it? Yeah.
190
00:10:05,272 --> 00:10:08,525
So what? We're talking 800 condos here?
191
00:10:08,608 --> 00:10:11,778
And then there's these
hotels and theaters?
192
00:10:11,862 --> 00:10:14,031
You know, we've only got
two-Lane roads here.
193
00:10:14,114 --> 00:10:16,408
We plan to widen them,
and build our own off-ramp
194
00:10:16,491 --> 00:10:18,535
from the interstate
at no expense to taxpayers.
195
00:10:18,618 --> 00:10:20,037
[scoffs]
196
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,122
Well, most people seem to like it.
197
00:10:22,205 --> 00:10:23,540
What do you think, aunt Jess?
198
00:10:23,623 --> 00:10:25,208
Pretty impressive, huh?
199
00:10:25,292 --> 00:10:27,669
I think overwhelming
is more accurate, Grady.
200
00:10:27,753 --> 00:10:30,881
Uh, pardon me, Mrs. Fletcher, doctor.
201
00:10:30,964 --> 00:10:33,342
Grady, darling, I need to speak
to you immediately.
202
00:10:33,425 --> 00:10:35,469
Sure thing, Mrs. Buffum.
203
00:10:35,552 --> 00:10:38,972
God, whose bathtub did this come from?
Grady, please.
204
00:10:39,056 --> 00:10:41,641
So what I was wondering is,
205
00:10:41,725 --> 00:10:44,061
what's your projected start date
for construction?
206
00:10:44,144 --> 00:10:46,396
Well, that's a good question, Noah.
207
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:50,317
All I can say, Jessica, is either you're
awfully forgiving,
208
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,402
or your memory's starting to go.
209
00:10:52,486 --> 00:10:54,654
Are you talking about the time
I came home from college,
210
00:10:54,738 --> 00:10:56,656
borrowed your husband's car
and wrecked it?
211
00:10:56,740 --> 00:10:58,241
Everett.
212
00:10:58,325 --> 00:10:59,993
It still bugs me that you and Frank
213
00:11:00,077 --> 00:11:02,204
never believed I only hit that tree
214
00:11:02,287 --> 00:11:04,790
because another car
forced me off the road.
215
00:11:04,873 --> 00:11:07,334
[laughing] Everett, it's old news.
216
00:11:07,417 --> 00:11:10,087
Mrs. Fletcher, I trust that doesn't
include Columbus Ventures,
217
00:11:10,170 --> 00:11:12,130
and I do hope you enjoyed
our presentation.
218
00:11:12,214 --> 00:11:15,217
I thought it was very
professional, Mr. Carmody.
219
00:11:15,300 --> 00:11:16,927
Please, it's Pete.
220
00:11:17,010 --> 00:11:19,471
And your nephew really outdid himself.
221
00:11:19,554 --> 00:11:21,890
Dr. Hazlitt, you look like a man
222
00:11:21,973 --> 00:11:23,266
with a few questions.
223
00:11:23,350 --> 00:11:25,394
As a matter of fact,
224
00:11:25,477 --> 00:11:28,438
I do have a question or two.
225
00:11:28,522 --> 00:11:30,899
I don't think that's too much to ask.
226
00:11:30,982 --> 00:11:33,360
Look, Mrs. Buffum, I can't tell you
227
00:11:33,443 --> 00:11:35,404
how badly I don't want to get in the
middle of what's going on
228
00:11:35,487 --> 00:11:38,865
between you and your
husband and toni shaw.
229
00:11:38,949 --> 00:11:41,326
[chuckling] I've got news for you, Grady.
230
00:11:41,410 --> 00:11:43,870
You're in there whether
you like it or not.
231
00:11:43,954 --> 00:11:45,747
Yes, ma'am.
232
00:11:45,831 --> 00:11:48,875
I'm sorry you feel that way about
the project, doctor.
233
00:11:48,959 --> 00:11:50,877
And it looks like I'm needed
across the room.
234
00:11:50,961 --> 00:11:52,879
Excuse me.
235
00:11:52,963 --> 00:11:54,798
So is everything okay?
236
00:11:54,881 --> 00:11:56,174
Did Pete tell you how he plans
to help you out
237
00:11:56,258 --> 00:11:57,634
in your lighthouse restoration?
238
00:11:57,717 --> 00:11:59,553
He what?
239
00:11:59,636 --> 00:12:01,346
Actually, Grady,
240
00:12:01,430 --> 00:12:04,850
Mr. Carmody never quite
got a chance to mention it.
241
00:12:04,933 --> 00:12:06,393
Yeah. I think he was rendered speechless
242
00:12:06,476 --> 00:12:08,228
by the Doc's party trick.
243
00:12:08,311 --> 00:12:11,064
Putting both feet in his
mouth at the same time.
244
00:12:11,148 --> 00:12:13,233
[chuckling]
245
00:12:15,527 --> 00:12:17,737
[chuckling]
246
00:12:20,532 --> 00:12:21,867
[gasps]
247
00:12:26,329 --> 00:12:28,999
I don't doubt that you'd like to see
your husband dead, ma'am,
248
00:12:29,082 --> 00:12:32,836
but I'm not so sure you'd be real fond
of the consequences.
249
00:12:32,919 --> 00:12:37,257
Plus, I've got my own reasons for
wanting him alive.
250
00:12:47,601 --> 00:12:49,686
[man] Heard you were
looking for me, sheriff?
251
00:12:49,769 --> 00:12:50,937
And for this.
252
00:12:52,981 --> 00:12:54,524
Mrs. Buffum complained?
253
00:12:54,608 --> 00:12:56,985
Several witnesses saw you take
it away from her.
254
00:12:57,068 --> 00:13:00,280
People toting guns around town
make me nervous.
255
00:13:00,363 --> 00:13:02,032
I went looking for you last night,
256
00:13:02,115 --> 00:13:03,533
but you disappeared.
257
00:13:03,617 --> 00:13:05,327
Nobody knew who I was
258
00:13:05,410 --> 00:13:07,287
till the day clerk came
back on duty at the motel.
259
00:13:07,370 --> 00:13:08,580
He told me.
260
00:13:08,663 --> 00:13:10,832
Well, thanks for the weapon.
261
00:13:10,916 --> 00:13:13,210
I guess Everett Buffum owes you his life.
262
00:13:13,293 --> 00:13:16,379
Ah, maybe. The lady seemed
too drunk to shoot straight.
263
00:13:16,463 --> 00:13:18,965
How's she doing? Ma'am, I told you...
264
00:13:19,049 --> 00:13:20,759
sheriff will explain everything.
265
00:13:20,842 --> 00:13:23,220
Morning, Mrs. Buffum. I'm listening.
266
00:13:23,303 --> 00:13:26,139
Mr. Martin, your motel registration
said you're from tucson.
267
00:13:26,223 --> 00:13:27,641
What brings you to cabot cove?
268
00:13:27,724 --> 00:13:29,434
Just business.
269
00:13:29,518 --> 00:13:31,228
-Thanks again.
-Sure.
270
00:13:33,980 --> 00:13:36,024
Am I being charged with
some sort of crime here?
271
00:13:36,107 --> 00:13:37,234
Is that what this is?
272
00:13:37,317 --> 00:13:39,069
As a matter of fact, no,
273
00:13:39,152 --> 00:13:41,154
because your husband
pleaded with us not to.
274
00:13:41,238 --> 00:13:43,073
But I am confiscating your weapon.
275
00:13:43,156 --> 00:13:44,908
And I gotta tell you, ma'am,
276
00:13:44,991 --> 00:13:46,618
one more stunt like you pulled last night,
277
00:13:46,701 --> 00:13:48,662
and I am booking you,
no matter what he says.
278
00:13:48,745 --> 00:13:50,539
My husband.
279
00:13:50,622 --> 00:13:52,415
In spite of the fact
that you allegedly pointed
280
00:13:52,499 --> 00:13:53,917
a loaded gun at him.
281
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:55,710
I'd say the guy really cares for you.
282
00:13:55,794 --> 00:13:57,796
[laughing]
283
00:13:57,879 --> 00:14:01,383
The only thing Everett Buffum cares
about besides himself
284
00:14:01,466 --> 00:14:03,552
is to make sure that I fully experience
285
00:14:03,635 --> 00:14:07,055
every bit of the humiliation
he's exposing me to!
286
00:14:07,138 --> 00:14:10,225
Ma'am, I was only gonna
advise you to leave town.
287
00:14:10,308 --> 00:14:13,728
But that just became an order. And fast.
288
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:19,442
[Seth] Jess, where's the apple pie?
289
00:14:19,526 --> 00:14:22,028
I think you finished it off last night.
290
00:14:22,112 --> 00:14:24,072
Oh.
291
00:14:24,155 --> 00:14:27,492
I think you're making them
smaller than you used to.
292
00:14:27,576 --> 00:14:30,996
Now, I have looked at
all sides of this matter.
293
00:14:31,079 --> 00:14:33,415
I have weighed the good against the bad,
294
00:14:33,498 --> 00:14:35,166
the pluses against the minuses,
295
00:14:35,250 --> 00:14:36,585
the pros against the cons--
296
00:14:36,668 --> 00:14:38,920
Seth, what are you trying to say?
297
00:14:39,004 --> 00:14:40,839
Now that you're living in new York,
298
00:14:40,922 --> 00:14:42,507
you're becoming as impatient
299
00:14:42,591 --> 00:14:44,551
as the rest of those
people down there.
300
00:14:44,634 --> 00:14:46,344
Fact is,
the way I see it,
301
00:14:46,428 --> 00:14:48,263
this project is going
to be a wonderful boon
302
00:14:48,346 --> 00:14:49,806
for all the communities around.
303
00:14:49,889 --> 00:14:52,100
A petition against the Marina project
304
00:14:52,183 --> 00:14:54,394
by the C.C.A.M.A.
305
00:14:54,477 --> 00:14:59,274
I believe that stands for "cabot covers
against the Marina americana."
306
00:14:59,357 --> 00:15:00,734
Travis dropped it by a little while ago.
307
00:15:00,817 --> 00:15:03,028
You appear to be a co-sponsor.
308
00:15:03,111 --> 00:15:04,487
Good grief!
309
00:15:04,571 --> 00:15:07,032
Travis has one hell of a nerve.
310
00:15:07,115 --> 00:15:09,034
Where does he come off
thinking I'd support
311
00:15:09,117 --> 00:15:11,077
a hare-brained scheme like this?
312
00:15:11,161 --> 00:15:12,954
I don't suppose it
could've been last night
313
00:15:13,038 --> 00:15:15,415
when you told him that
if the petition didn't work,
314
00:15:15,498 --> 00:15:17,500
you'd consider financing,
315
00:15:17,584 --> 00:15:21,129
I believe you said "a naval bombardment"
of the project?
316
00:15:21,212 --> 00:15:24,215
[phone ringing]
317
00:15:26,009 --> 00:15:29,721
Hello? Donna, how are you?
318
00:15:29,804 --> 00:15:32,849
No, Grady's not here right now.
319
00:15:32,932 --> 00:15:35,894
A message? Oh, certainly.
320
00:15:35,977 --> 00:15:38,188
Uh-huh.
321
00:15:38,271 --> 00:15:42,359
Uh-huh. Really?
322
00:15:42,442 --> 00:15:44,194
Well, of course I'll tell him.
323
00:15:44,277 --> 00:15:48,114
Right. Good-bye for now.
324
00:15:48,198 --> 00:15:50,784
Grady's wife? Jess, what is it?
325
00:15:50,867 --> 00:15:54,788
She and Grady were turned down for
a home improvement loan
326
00:15:54,871 --> 00:15:57,540
because their bank can't find any evidence
327
00:15:57,624 --> 00:16:00,210
that the company he's working for--
Columbus Ventures--
328
00:16:00,293 --> 00:16:02,128
Even exists.
329
00:16:12,097 --> 00:16:13,473
Everett.
330
00:16:16,476 --> 00:16:18,645
I want to explain.
331
00:16:18,728 --> 00:16:20,897
Lorna, I have to go to a meeting.
332
00:16:20,980 --> 00:16:22,774
Wait. I know I don't
deserve it, but please,
333
00:16:22,857 --> 00:16:24,901
just give me a minute, all right?
334
00:16:26,903 --> 00:16:29,864
I am so very sorry about last night--
335
00:16:29,948 --> 00:16:31,700
The business with the gun and
336
00:16:31,783 --> 00:16:33,743
yeah. Well, that's lovely.
337
00:16:33,827 --> 00:16:36,663
I guess I had just a little too much to--
338
00:16:36,746 --> 00:16:39,165
I haven't been thinking
awfully straight lately.
339
00:16:39,249 --> 00:16:43,420
Lately? Lorna, be real, for god's sake.
340
00:16:43,503 --> 00:16:47,048
How many years have I been pleading
with you to get help?
341
00:16:47,132 --> 00:16:49,509
I know. And I've decided to put myself
back in the program
342
00:16:49,592 --> 00:16:51,678
the minute that I get home.
343
00:16:51,761 --> 00:16:53,513
Wonderful. I hope it works.
Now, if you'll excuse me...
344
00:16:53,596 --> 00:16:57,267
Everett! You still care about me.
345
00:16:57,350 --> 00:16:59,185
Can't you admit that even to yourself?
346
00:16:59,269 --> 00:17:01,229
Lorna!
347
00:17:01,312 --> 00:17:03,773
Why else would you stop the sheriff from
pressing charges?
348
00:17:03,857 --> 00:17:05,942
I didn't do it for you, god help me if
I made a mistake.
349
00:17:06,025 --> 00:17:08,611
I did it for the sake of my partners
and for Columbus Ventures.
350
00:17:08,695 --> 00:17:11,823
And you're talking to me about reality?
351
00:17:11,906 --> 00:17:13,950
Shut up why should I?
352
00:17:14,033 --> 00:17:16,619
I can think of about a half a million
reasons why.
353
00:17:16,703 --> 00:17:18,830
Not a penny of which you're gonna see
354
00:17:18,913 --> 00:17:22,792
if you don't let the divorce go through
and get out of here now.
355
00:17:22,876 --> 00:17:24,127
Everett.
356
00:17:24,210 --> 00:17:27,255
[sighs] Good-bye, Lorna.
357
00:17:32,385 --> 00:17:34,888
You know, I must've looked at 20 places,
358
00:17:34,971 --> 00:17:37,432
and this comes closest
to fulfilling our needs
359
00:17:37,515 --> 00:17:40,852
in terms of size and location.
360
00:17:40,935 --> 00:17:42,645
Ev, what do you think?
361
00:17:43,146 --> 00:17:45,315
It's good for me. Nice work, Grady.
Let's go for it.
362
00:17:45,398 --> 00:17:47,400
Hi, miss Higgins. Well, it looks like
363
00:17:47,484 --> 00:17:49,027
we're ready to sign a lease.
364
00:17:49,110 --> 00:17:51,988
I don't think so, Grady.
I'm not interested.
365
00:17:52,071 --> 00:17:53,740
There are just too many questions
that didn't get answered
366
00:17:53,823 --> 00:17:56,075
at your dog-and-pony show last night.
367
00:17:57,202 --> 00:18:01,122
Uh, if there's anything specific
we can clarify for you.
368
00:18:01,206 --> 00:18:03,124
Okay, for starters,
369
00:18:03,208 --> 00:18:05,251
what about all those shops
and stores you're going to buy?
370
00:18:05,335 --> 00:18:07,962
How exactly is that going to help business
371
00:18:08,046 --> 00:18:10,423
in cabot cove
and craggy neck?
372
00:18:10,507 --> 00:18:12,592
We probably didn't make that as clear
as we might have.
373
00:18:12,675 --> 00:18:15,386
The fact is, we plan to offer merchants
from both towns
374
00:18:15,470 --> 00:18:17,222
first crack at leasing that space
375
00:18:17,305 --> 00:18:20,266
for branch stores or new Ventures.
376
00:18:20,350 --> 00:18:22,519
And further, we're willing to consider
377
00:18:22,602 --> 00:18:24,896
appointing you our exclusive agent.
378
00:18:24,979 --> 00:18:29,359
Well... now we're talking.
379
00:18:29,442 --> 00:18:33,321
Excuse me one moment,
won't you, gentlemen?
380
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,200
Uh, Pete, I thought you said those stores
381
00:18:37,283 --> 00:18:39,035
were gonna be chains and name brands?
382
00:18:39,118 --> 00:18:40,787
Yeah. I guess I forgot to
mention that to you, Grady.
383
00:18:40,870 --> 00:18:42,413
We've had a little change in game plan,
384
00:18:42,497 --> 00:18:44,123
and we'll discuss it later.
385
00:18:44,207 --> 00:18:46,125
Everett, if I could talk to
you for a second.
386
00:18:46,209 --> 00:18:47,335
Pauline, that's the best I can do.
387
00:18:47,418 --> 00:18:48,753
It's not good enough.
388
00:18:48,837 --> 00:18:51,172
Look, Noah, I'm sorry,
389
00:18:51,256 --> 00:18:53,383
but I don't want to bargain.
390
00:18:53,466 --> 00:18:55,593
I'm beginning to get some nibbles
on this place, so...
391
00:18:55,677 --> 00:18:57,720
please, don't even call me
392
00:18:57,804 --> 00:19:01,266
until you can meet my price. Okay?
393
00:19:03,226 --> 00:19:05,061
Okay.
394
00:19:05,144 --> 00:19:08,022
All right, gentlemen, I guess, um,
395
00:19:08,106 --> 00:19:10,567
we'll be doing business after all.
396
00:19:10,650 --> 00:19:12,652
When would you folks like to move in?
397
00:19:12,735 --> 00:19:15,363
Ha ha! The sooner, the better. Sure thing.
398
00:19:15,446 --> 00:19:17,907
Grady, let's see how fast you get us
some furniture, huh?
399
00:19:17,991 --> 00:19:19,450
Grady?
400
00:19:19,534 --> 00:19:21,661
Hmm? Furniture.
401
00:19:21,744 --> 00:19:23,788
Yes, Sir. I'll get on it right away, Sir.
402
00:19:23,872 --> 00:19:25,832
Yes, ma'am. 5:00.
403
00:19:25,915 --> 00:19:28,084
I'll send the bellboy right up.
404
00:19:28,167 --> 00:19:30,003
Hello, Mrs. Buffum. My key, please.
405
00:19:30,086 --> 00:19:31,880
Oh, and would you prepare my bill?
406
00:19:31,963 --> 00:19:33,131
I'll be checking out later.
407
00:19:33,214 --> 00:19:35,049
This evening? Sure thing.
408
00:19:37,844 --> 00:19:39,804
I, uh, hope you've enjoyed your stay.
409
00:19:42,557 --> 00:19:44,559
Martini. Yes, ma'am.
410
00:19:46,019 --> 00:19:48,563
Oh, don't worry, toni, I don't bite.
411
00:19:48,646 --> 00:19:51,149
I discovered I'm allergic
to my husband's women.
412
00:19:51,232 --> 00:19:52,859
But I might suggest--
413
00:19:52,942 --> 00:19:56,029
Lorna, do yourself a favor, cut the cord.
414
00:19:56,112 --> 00:19:58,990
Everett hasn't belonged to you for years.
415
00:19:59,073 --> 00:20:02,619
I was about to say,
I suggest you grab a lifeboat
416
00:20:02,702 --> 00:20:04,662
because I'm gonna do what I should have
done months ago.
417
00:20:04,746 --> 00:20:07,999
Blast you, Everett, J. Peter Carmody,
418
00:20:08,082 --> 00:20:09,751
and Columbus Ventures out of the water
419
00:20:09,834 --> 00:20:11,586
and into prison where you belong.
420
00:20:11,669 --> 00:20:14,255
[scoffs]
421
00:20:17,008 --> 00:20:18,885
[indistinct chattering]
422
00:20:22,805 --> 00:20:26,601
Look at this, Jess. Just as they say in
their brochure,
423
00:20:26,684 --> 00:20:28,978
Columbus Ventures has projects going
424
00:20:29,062 --> 00:20:32,273
in Darwin Key, Florida,
and Cambria, Oregon.
425
00:20:32,357 --> 00:20:34,567
The police chiefs
in both towns give Carmody
426
00:20:34,651 --> 00:20:36,736
and Everett Buffum
sparkling recommendations.
427
00:20:36,819 --> 00:20:40,031
And, look, aunt Jess, they have
offices in both places,
428
00:20:40,114 --> 00:20:42,825
with a staff and bank accounts
totaling $100,000.
429
00:20:42,909 --> 00:20:46,329
Yes. But does that explain
why your bank manager
430
00:20:46,412 --> 00:20:49,749
was unable to run a credit
check on Columbus Ventures?
431
00:20:49,832 --> 00:20:51,501
Well, no. Jessica...
432
00:20:51,584 --> 00:20:53,920
you heard Phil Jordan over at the bank.
433
00:20:54,003 --> 00:20:56,506
He said that this operation
is probably so new,
434
00:20:56,589 --> 00:20:58,758
it's not on anyone else's computer.
435
00:20:58,841 --> 00:21:00,551
According to this,
the permits are in place,
436
00:21:00,635 --> 00:21:02,261
and the building contracts signed.
437
00:21:02,345 --> 00:21:04,973
Does that mean the construction
isn't finished?
438
00:21:05,056 --> 00:21:08,726
Uh, I guess not. Let's see.
439
00:21:08,810 --> 00:21:12,522
Uh, it says here that they're
ready to go in darwin key
440
00:21:12,605 --> 00:21:14,899
the minute the hurricane
season ends, and it--
441
00:21:14,983 --> 00:21:17,610
Here in Cambria, Oregon,
they're being held up
442
00:21:17,694 --> 00:21:19,862
by some kind of an environmental group.
443
00:21:19,946 --> 00:21:22,240
Let's see. Police chief
says the local Judge
444
00:21:22,323 --> 00:21:24,033
is gonna throw the case out.
445
00:21:24,117 --> 00:21:26,452
Meanwhile, real estate is
booming all over the area.
446
00:21:29,205 --> 00:21:31,290
Never mind how I got 'em, Mr. Carmody.
447
00:21:31,374 --> 00:21:35,128
I want to hear you explain how this
$75,000 deposit
448
00:21:35,211 --> 00:21:37,338
ended up in your offshore account
449
00:21:37,422 --> 00:21:41,426
exactly two days after my
mother withdrew the same amount
450
00:21:41,509 --> 00:21:43,761
from her bank in darwin key
451
00:21:43,845 --> 00:21:47,348
and one day after
she died from a heart attack,
452
00:21:47,432 --> 00:21:50,643
which the doctor said was
brought on by emotional trauma.
453
00:21:50,727 --> 00:21:52,854
Mr. Martin, I did have the pleasure of
meeting your mother,
454
00:21:52,937 --> 00:21:54,981
and yes, I'm terribly sorry
to hear that she passed away,
455
00:21:55,064 --> 00:21:58,276
but this is a total, total coincidence.
Now, if you'll excuse me--
456
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,778
Hold on. What did you meet with her about?
457
00:22:00,862 --> 00:22:02,363
Ask her to go to the movies?
458
00:22:02,447 --> 00:22:04,490
The lady was 80 years old.
459
00:22:04,574 --> 00:22:06,784
Like most of the people on darwin key,
460
00:22:06,868 --> 00:22:08,870
your mother came into our presentation,
461
00:22:08,953 --> 00:22:11,539
just like the one you attended last night.
462
00:22:14,667 --> 00:22:16,294
Okay, pal, that's your story?
463
00:22:16,377 --> 00:22:18,004
Why don't we just run it by the sheriff?
464
00:22:18,087 --> 00:22:19,881
I'm sure you'd be wasting
your time, Mr. Martin.
465
00:22:19,964 --> 00:22:22,050
First, you have no receipt,
466
00:22:22,133 --> 00:22:25,386
nothing but this brochure with
my business card attached to it,
467
00:22:25,470 --> 00:22:28,139
which you claim was in
your mother's belongings.
468
00:22:28,222 --> 00:22:30,600
And second, I think the law's
liable to take a dim view
469
00:22:30,683 --> 00:22:32,310
of how you got your hands
on those bank statements.
470
00:22:32,393 --> 00:22:34,103
You're right. They're not in your room.
471
00:22:34,187 --> 00:22:36,731
Okay. I haven't exactly figured out
472
00:22:36,814 --> 00:22:38,608
how the game works,
473
00:22:38,691 --> 00:22:41,235
but I know and you know that
when my mother realized
474
00:22:41,319 --> 00:22:42,653
what a bunch of crooks you people are,
475
00:22:42,737 --> 00:22:44,072
the shock killed her.
476
00:22:44,155 --> 00:22:45,990
I realize that's not much of a case
477
00:22:46,074 --> 00:22:49,702
that somebody could go
to court with...yet.
478
00:22:49,786 --> 00:22:53,414
Ah, Mr. Martin! The man who saved my...
479
00:22:53,498 --> 00:22:55,333
life.
480
00:22:55,416 --> 00:22:57,043
Trouble?
481
00:22:57,126 --> 00:22:58,628
Just another obstacle.
482
00:22:58,711 --> 00:23:00,171
Tell me how you dealt with Lorna?
483
00:23:00,254 --> 00:23:02,256
Well, I, uh--
484
00:23:02,340 --> 00:23:03,633
I don't think she'll be a problem.
485
00:23:03,716 --> 00:23:05,301
You don't think?
486
00:23:05,384 --> 00:23:07,804
She threatens to expose us
and you don't think?
487
00:23:07,887 --> 00:23:09,722
Don't you ever talk to me--
guys, come on.
488
00:23:09,806 --> 00:23:12,100
Please, not here.
489
00:23:12,183 --> 00:23:14,227
[thunder]
490
00:23:16,437 --> 00:23:17,897
[Jessica] Grady?
491
00:23:19,774 --> 00:23:21,109
You all right? Look, aunt Jess...
492
00:23:21,192 --> 00:23:22,902
it's just work, that's all.
493
00:23:22,985 --> 00:23:24,320
I've got a zillion things
I gotta deal with
494
00:23:24,403 --> 00:23:25,696
in the next few days.
495
00:23:25,780 --> 00:23:27,240
And yet I have the feeling
496
00:23:27,323 --> 00:23:29,659
that you still have some sort of doubts?
497
00:23:29,742 --> 00:23:31,536
Me?
498
00:23:31,619 --> 00:23:33,579
If you want to talk about it,
there might be a chance--
499
00:23:33,663 --> 00:23:35,373
Come on, aunt Jess, you heard the sheriff.
500
00:23:35,456 --> 00:23:37,083
He said everything checked out perfectly.
501
00:23:37,166 --> 00:23:38,751
Now, don't worry.
502
00:23:38,835 --> 00:23:40,628
Don't stay up too late.
503
00:23:40,711 --> 00:23:42,547
I won't, Grady.
504
00:23:45,341 --> 00:23:47,176
[bartender] Here's your martini, ma'am.
505
00:24:59,665 --> 00:25:01,250
[man] Hold it!
506
00:25:02,084 --> 00:25:04,003
[people chattering]
507
00:25:07,381 --> 00:25:09,717
[Seth] Looks to me
like death by drowning, Mort.
508
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:13,930
I'd guess sometime between 9 p.m.
and midnight.
509
00:25:14,013 --> 00:25:16,265
Do you figure she was
conscious, trapped inside?
510
00:25:16,349 --> 00:25:19,560
Maybe not. Pretty good size
bump on her head.
511
00:25:19,644 --> 00:25:21,395
She may have been under the influence,
512
00:25:21,479 --> 00:25:23,147
but she didn't drink
a whole lot of this stuff.
513
00:25:23,231 --> 00:25:25,024
They found it in her handbag.
514
00:25:25,107 --> 00:25:27,485
Didn't she phone your office
at 7:15 last night?
515
00:25:27,568 --> 00:25:30,905
Yeah. She called. Said she wanted to
come over to the office and talk to me.
516
00:25:30,988 --> 00:25:32,907
Said she'd be there in about 20 minutes.
517
00:25:32,990 --> 00:25:35,117
I waited around till 10:15.
She never showed up.
518
00:25:35,201 --> 00:25:37,411
And the bruise on her forehead?
519
00:25:37,495 --> 00:25:40,081
Doesn't look like it could've been fatal.
520
00:25:40,164 --> 00:25:44,168
Probably caused by bumping her head on
the steering wheel.
521
00:25:44,252 --> 00:25:46,087
Well, wasn't she strapped in?
522
00:25:46,170 --> 00:25:48,297
Yeah, she was.
523
00:25:48,381 --> 00:25:50,716
The mechanical device that keeps you
from flying forward,
524
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,594
I guess it wasn't working.
So far, no witnesses.
525
00:25:53,678 --> 00:25:55,263
Except for her handbag and luggage,
526
00:25:55,346 --> 00:25:57,181
there's not much in the car.
527
00:25:57,265 --> 00:25:59,392
Just the usual junk in the glove box
and on the floor.
528
00:25:59,475 --> 00:26:03,562
A few coins, a few sticks of chewing gum,
529
00:26:03,646 --> 00:26:06,649
paper clips and this.
530
00:26:06,732 --> 00:26:10,236
Sal's roadhouse. Route 17.
531
00:26:10,319 --> 00:26:13,197
Maybe she stopped in there and then
forgot why she called you.
532
00:26:13,281 --> 00:26:15,324
But if she was on her way
to your office, Mort,
533
00:26:15,408 --> 00:26:18,619
why would she detour
clear over to the highway?
534
00:26:19,161 --> 00:26:20,705
Andy, bag this stuff, and just in case,
535
00:26:20,788 --> 00:26:22,748
let's dust the car for fingerprints
536
00:26:22,832 --> 00:26:25,376
and get it over to stuckey's garage
so he can check it out.
537
00:26:25,459 --> 00:26:29,088
Mr. Buffum, when was the last time
you saw your wife?
538
00:26:29,171 --> 00:26:31,215
Uh, yesterday afternoon,
539
00:26:31,299 --> 00:26:33,592
around 2:00 or so,
in the hill house lobby.
540
00:26:34,051 --> 00:26:36,554
You weren't with her last night?
541
00:26:37,763 --> 00:26:39,890
No, sheriff.
542
00:26:44,395 --> 00:26:46,480
Well, you ask me, the town council
ought to take a look
543
00:26:46,564 --> 00:26:48,482
at the lighting down there
by the waterfront.
544
00:26:48,858 --> 00:26:50,609
Here you go, sheriff.
545
00:26:50,693 --> 00:26:55,239
Mrs. Buffum checked out at 7:22 p.m.
546
00:26:55,323 --> 00:26:56,991
[Metzger] who was on duty?
547
00:26:57,074 --> 00:26:59,493
Wayne hatton was working
the desk at that time.
548
00:26:59,577 --> 00:27:03,164
And I show a call to
your number from her room.
549
00:27:03,247 --> 00:27:05,374
7:15, like you said.
550
00:27:05,458 --> 00:27:07,293
And she was alone?
551
00:27:07,376 --> 00:27:09,253
According to Wayne hatton.
He was working the desk.
552
00:27:09,337 --> 00:27:11,797
You can reach him at home.
Um, the bartender said
553
00:27:11,881 --> 00:27:15,217
that she had several martinis
and left about 8:30.
554
00:27:15,301 --> 00:27:18,095
Well, that explains
the .23 blood-alcohol level.
555
00:27:18,179 --> 00:27:21,849
Thanks, Noah. What have you got, Andy?
556
00:27:21,974 --> 00:27:24,143
That was Jim stuckey over at the garage.
557
00:27:24,226 --> 00:27:25,770
He said there's nothing
wrong with the car,
558
00:27:25,853 --> 00:27:27,396
that nobody tampered with it.
559
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,231
There you go. An accident,
just like we said.
560
00:27:29,315 --> 00:27:32,401
Maybe not. Mrs. Fletcher asked
the right question.
561
00:27:32,485 --> 00:27:34,320
About the seatbelt.
562
00:27:34,403 --> 00:27:36,697
Stuckey claims that the mechanism
works fine.
563
00:27:36,781 --> 00:27:39,158
You yank on it and it locks, just like
it's supposed to.
564
00:27:40,117 --> 00:27:41,786
That means Mrs. Buffum
couldn't have bumped her head
565
00:27:41,869 --> 00:27:43,788
on the steering wheel
when she crashed the car.
566
00:27:43,871 --> 00:27:46,665
So maybe somebody knocked her unconscious.
567
00:27:46,749 --> 00:27:49,168
Then strapped her in and sent
her and the car into the drink.
568
00:27:49,251 --> 00:27:51,128
[phone ringing]
569
00:27:51,212 --> 00:27:53,089
Metzger. Oh, hi, honey.
570
00:27:53,172 --> 00:27:54,632
[chatter]
571
00:27:54,715 --> 00:27:56,926
You're kidding. When?
572
00:27:58,260 --> 00:28:00,054
Thanks, sweetheart. Later on.
573
00:28:00,137 --> 00:28:01,555
That was adele.
She just heard on the radio
574
00:28:01,639 --> 00:28:03,557
that Marina americana is kaput.
575
00:28:03,641 --> 00:28:05,059
Columbus Ventures is Pulling out.
576
00:28:05,142 --> 00:28:06,852
Oh, man. Did they say why?
577
00:28:06,936 --> 00:28:08,771
The only thing she caught
was that their money man,
578
00:28:08,854 --> 00:28:10,481
Everett Buffum, lost his stomach for it.
579
00:28:10,564 --> 00:28:12,274
Look, Andy, I want you
to check with the coroner
580
00:28:12,358 --> 00:28:14,360
about this bruise on
Lorna Buffum's forehead,
581
00:28:14,443 --> 00:28:15,903
and just in case, let's make sure
582
00:28:15,986 --> 00:28:17,613
that none of the players leave town, huh?
583
00:28:17,696 --> 00:28:19,490
Where's the report on the crash?
That's it.
584
00:28:19,573 --> 00:28:22,993
Everett. Everett, for god's sake,
585
00:28:23,077 --> 00:28:26,205
I know I said get rid of her,
but not that way.
586
00:28:26,288 --> 00:28:28,374
You're really psychotic, you know?
587
00:28:28,457 --> 00:28:29,750
I'll be in touch.
588
00:28:29,834 --> 00:28:31,168
Everett, wait--
589
00:28:33,462 --> 00:28:36,298
[Grady] yes, miss McCoy,
I'm afraid it's true.
590
00:28:36,382 --> 00:28:38,968
Right, yeah. Well, believe me,
591
00:28:39,051 --> 00:28:41,971
I feel the same way as you. Yeah.
592
00:28:42,054 --> 00:28:43,848
Okay. Thank you.
593
00:28:43,931 --> 00:28:46,767
That's about the 20th call
we've had today.
594
00:28:46,851 --> 00:28:49,895
Well, anyway, according to Pete,
595
00:28:49,979 --> 00:28:52,815
it was a combination of things
that discouraged Mr. Buffum.
596
00:28:52,898 --> 00:28:54,817
The costly delays in the Florida
597
00:28:54,900 --> 00:28:56,944
and Oregon project and--
598
00:28:57,027 --> 00:28:59,989
Yeah, those petitions of seth's were
partly to blame.
599
00:29:00,072 --> 00:29:03,325
Interesting. Because I really
didn't get the sense
600
00:29:03,409 --> 00:29:05,536
that there was that much opposition.
601
00:29:05,619 --> 00:29:08,289
Yeah. Well, without Everett's backing,
602
00:29:08,372 --> 00:29:09,790
Pete had no choice.
603
00:29:09,874 --> 00:29:12,251
So I'm back on the job market.
604
00:29:12,334 --> 00:29:14,837
God, it's so damn frustrating,
605
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,131
I really believed in this project and...
606
00:29:17,214 --> 00:29:20,259
well, obviously so did
a lot of other people.
607
00:29:20,342 --> 00:29:22,011
Hey, I guess between the weather
608
00:29:22,094 --> 00:29:23,679
and the visibility and the cheap booze,
609
00:29:23,762 --> 00:29:25,598
Mrs. Buffum didn't stand much of a chance.
610
00:29:25,681 --> 00:29:29,393
Anyway, Pauline, can't we
at least discuss this?
611
00:29:29,477 --> 00:29:31,187
Noah! A deal's a deal.
612
00:29:31,270 --> 00:29:34,064
I am not returning your deposit,
and that's that.
613
00:29:34,148 --> 00:29:36,108
Pardon us. Sorry.
614
00:29:36,192 --> 00:29:38,903
Be reasonable. This is an attractive
property.
615
00:29:38,986 --> 00:29:40,321
You'll find another buyer.
616
00:29:40,404 --> 00:29:41,822
Oh, yeah. Right.
617
00:29:41,906 --> 00:29:43,866
I'm really sorry, Grady.
618
00:29:43,949 --> 00:29:46,494
I mean, it's a shame there
isn't some alternative,
619
00:29:46,577 --> 00:29:48,996
something that, uh wait, wait, wait.
620
00:29:49,079 --> 00:29:51,248
You know, maybe there is.
621
00:29:51,332 --> 00:29:53,125
An alternative, I mean.
622
00:29:53,209 --> 00:29:55,503
Excuse me, aunt Jess. I'll see you later!
623
00:30:20,528 --> 00:30:22,363
[Peter] No, no, sheriff, I understand.
624
00:30:22,446 --> 00:30:23,948
You're just doing your job.
625
00:30:24,031 --> 00:30:25,616
-Don't leave town.
-Yes.
626
00:30:25,699 --> 00:30:27,868
-Thank you, Mr. Carmody.
-Thanks.
627
00:30:30,829 --> 00:30:34,291
Well, it appears we're
here for the duration,
628
00:30:34,375 --> 00:30:36,752
and they've just put out
an A.P.B. on Everett.
629
00:30:36,835 --> 00:30:39,838
I'd like to get my hands on him myself.
630
00:30:39,922 --> 00:30:43,551
Look, both of you, I've been
in this game a while,
631
00:30:43,634 --> 00:30:45,427
and one of the tricks is to recognize
632
00:30:45,511 --> 00:30:48,639
when it's time to cut
your losses and get out.
633
00:30:48,722 --> 00:30:50,599
But what I'm trying to say is,
634
00:30:50,683 --> 00:30:52,518
there has to be other ways to raise money
635
00:30:52,601 --> 00:30:55,145
than from fat cats like Mr. Buffum.
636
00:30:55,229 --> 00:30:57,690
I don't know, Pete. Maybe Grady's
got a point.
637
00:30:59,316 --> 00:31:01,026
So, what are we talking about?
638
00:31:01,110 --> 00:31:02,736
All right. Didn't you tell me
639
00:31:02,820 --> 00:31:04,655
that Martin fellow's mother badgered you
640
00:31:04,738 --> 00:31:06,407
into letting her put money into
that project
641
00:31:06,490 --> 00:31:08,701
in darwin keys, and you refused?
642
00:31:08,784 --> 00:31:11,161
Yes, but I small investors, Pete.
643
00:31:11,245 --> 00:31:14,707
One of my first jobs was working for
a broadway producer,
644
00:31:14,790 --> 00:31:16,250
and that's how he did it.
645
00:31:16,333 --> 00:31:19,086
Selling shares. It's a natural.
646
00:31:19,169 --> 00:31:21,005
With the interest we've already
generated,
647
00:31:21,088 --> 00:31:22,590
people are gonna jump at this!
648
00:31:22,673 --> 00:31:24,633
Well, that might be worth a try.
649
00:31:26,135 --> 00:31:29,430
Okay. I'll tell you what, Grady--
650
00:31:29,513 --> 00:31:31,682
Why don't you go back to the office,
651
00:31:31,765 --> 00:31:33,767
begin to put together an ad
for the local newspapers,
652
00:31:33,851 --> 00:31:36,353
an announcement, and then we'll see
if anybody bites.
653
00:31:36,437 --> 00:31:38,272
That's terrific. And how about
some radio spots?
654
00:31:38,355 --> 00:31:40,190
And there's a couple of brokerage houses
and realtors.
655
00:31:40,274 --> 00:31:41,900
I'm sure they can drum up
some business for us.
656
00:31:41,984 --> 00:31:43,986
Great idea. Toni and I will get on that.
657
00:31:44,069 --> 00:31:46,322
I think we just may have a shot
at this after all.
658
00:31:46,405 --> 00:31:48,699
Thanks, Grady. You're welcome.
659
00:31:54,455 --> 00:31:57,583
Toni, I think we're on our way.
660
00:31:57,666 --> 00:31:59,668
You gotta give him credit for imagination.
661
00:31:59,752 --> 00:32:02,755
If we'd have had him in Oregon, we
could've retired by now.
662
00:32:02,838 --> 00:32:04,340
[chuckling]
663
00:32:08,552 --> 00:32:10,471
Maybe swindling and murder
664
00:32:10,554 --> 00:32:12,348
isn't the same in the eyes of the law,
sheriff,
665
00:32:12,431 --> 00:32:14,850
but as far as I'm concerned, that's
what killed her,
666
00:32:14,933 --> 00:32:17,603
just as sure as if they'd shot her
with a gun.
667
00:32:17,686 --> 00:32:20,606
Mrs. F, Doc, like I told you
on the phone,
668
00:32:20,689 --> 00:32:22,566
Mr. Martin here has zero proof
669
00:32:22,650 --> 00:32:24,485
that his mother even met any of the people
670
00:32:24,568 --> 00:32:26,111
connected with Columbus Ventures.
671
00:32:26,195 --> 00:32:28,864
And yet her $75,000 vanished.
672
00:32:28,947 --> 00:32:30,949
And I know where it went.
673
00:32:31,033 --> 00:32:33,243
Excuse me, sheriff. That was the coroner.
674
00:32:33,327 --> 00:32:35,412
He said, yes, the blow that
caused the bruise
675
00:32:35,496 --> 00:32:38,165
could have been sufficient to
knock Lorna Buffum unconscious.
676
00:32:38,248 --> 00:32:42,294
So we're looking at murder.
677
00:32:42,378 --> 00:32:44,880
Mr. Martin, you may have to
come up with a better alibi
678
00:32:44,963 --> 00:32:46,715
than being alone in your room
at the light house motel.
679
00:32:46,799 --> 00:32:48,342
Why would I kill Mrs. Buffum?
680
00:32:48,425 --> 00:32:50,094
Good question.
681
00:32:50,177 --> 00:32:51,887
And while we're looking for an answer
682
00:32:51,970 --> 00:32:53,389
don't worry, sheriff,
I'm not going anywhere
683
00:32:53,472 --> 00:32:54,807
till I've nailed whoever killed
684
00:32:54,890 --> 00:32:56,684
all right, all right.
685
00:32:56,767 --> 00:32:58,936
Whoever's responsible
for my mother's death.
686
00:32:59,019 --> 00:33:00,354
Mrs. Fletcher.
687
00:33:03,190 --> 00:33:05,526
Mrs. F, it looks like
you had it figured right.
688
00:33:05,609 --> 00:33:08,612
The perpetrator reaches in the window,
knocks the victim out,
689
00:33:08,696 --> 00:33:10,698
starts the engine, and
690
00:33:10,781 --> 00:33:12,950
the killer may have been sitting
beside her, Mort,
691
00:33:13,033 --> 00:33:14,618
in the car.
692
00:33:14,702 --> 00:33:16,495
Oh, that's good.
693
00:33:16,578 --> 00:33:19,039
The bad is, we don't have
a whole lot to go on.
694
00:33:19,123 --> 00:33:21,417
Everett Buffum has disappeared,
695
00:33:21,500 --> 00:33:24,837
but miss shaw insists that he was with her
at the time of death.
696
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:28,215
They both had possible
motives to kill her.
697
00:33:28,298 --> 00:33:32,010
And wait. Uh, the matchbook.
698
00:33:32,094 --> 00:33:34,513
The one from Sal's roadhouse.
699
00:33:34,596 --> 00:33:37,015
Matchbooks are always clues.
700
00:33:39,309 --> 00:33:41,770
I had Andy check with Sal.
Apparently, Mrs. Buffum
701
00:33:41,854 --> 00:33:45,357
stopped there a couple of days ago for
a sandwich...by herself.
702
00:33:46,859 --> 00:33:48,861
Well, at least there's some good news.
703
00:33:48,944 --> 00:33:50,654
I guess Grady's pretty
revved up about that, huh?
704
00:33:50,738 --> 00:33:53,240
Oh, yes, he is. Our phone
hasn't stopped ringing
705
00:33:53,323 --> 00:33:55,534
since this appeared.
706
00:34:01,039 --> 00:34:03,333
Yes, ma'am, that's right.
Your investment automatically
707
00:34:03,417 --> 00:34:04,918
makes you a member of our health club--
708
00:34:05,002 --> 00:34:06,962
Just as soon as it's built, of course.
709
00:34:07,045 --> 00:34:10,007
Matter of fact, we're accepting units
as small as $1,000.
710
00:34:10,090 --> 00:34:12,593
Yeah. Just one minute, please.
711
00:34:12,676 --> 00:34:14,052
-Hi, Pauline.
-Hi.
712
00:34:14,136 --> 00:34:16,805
Written to Columbus Ventures, right?
713
00:34:16,889 --> 00:34:18,849
Wow.
714
00:34:18,932 --> 00:34:20,476
Gordon, you're the legal expert.
715
00:34:20,559 --> 00:34:22,019
What about getting us an injunction
716
00:34:22,102 --> 00:34:23,562
against the damn environmental group?
717
00:34:23,645 --> 00:34:26,315
-$5,000? That's great.
-Absolutely.
718
00:34:26,398 --> 00:34:28,901
Can I just put you on hold for one second?
719
00:34:28,984 --> 00:34:31,445
Columbus Ventures. How can I help you?
720
00:34:31,528 --> 00:34:33,864
$15,000. That's perfect.
721
00:34:33,947 --> 00:34:35,991
And here's your receipt.
722
00:34:36,074 --> 00:34:37,409
Thank you. Oh, excuse me.
723
00:34:37,493 --> 00:34:38,994
Hi! Columbus Ventures.
724
00:34:39,077 --> 00:34:41,121
Yes, we can fax out our literature.
725
00:34:41,205 --> 00:34:44,458
All right. I'll have it to you right away,
Mr. Vogel. Okay.
726
00:34:44,541 --> 00:34:46,627
Well, you can tell
the city council from me,
727
00:34:46,710 --> 00:34:48,462
they've got 48 hours to make it go away,
728
00:34:48,545 --> 00:34:50,798
or we're gonna yank the project. Right.
729
00:34:50,881 --> 00:34:52,424
Oregon?
730
00:34:52,508 --> 00:34:54,968
Yeah. Those damn tree-worshippers.
731
00:34:55,052 --> 00:34:57,054
Telephone. Yes, Sir.
732
00:34:57,137 --> 00:34:58,806
[phone ringing]
733
00:34:58,889 --> 00:35:01,433
Good afternoon, Columbus Ventures.
734
00:35:01,517 --> 00:35:03,602
$5,000? That'd be terrific.
735
00:35:08,899 --> 00:35:11,568
I tell you, aunt Jess, it's fantastic.
736
00:35:12,236 --> 00:35:14,571
In five days, we have sold
737
00:35:14,655 --> 00:35:16,240
we have sold over $4 million worth
of shares,
738
00:35:16,323 --> 00:35:18,617
and the phone is still
ringing off the hook.
739
00:35:18,700 --> 00:35:20,160
Listen, I gotta go.
740
00:35:20,244 --> 00:35:22,246
Don't wait up dinner for me, okay?
741
00:35:22,329 --> 00:35:24,206
Well, I really hadn't planned on it.
742
00:35:24,289 --> 00:35:25,415
Have a good day, Grady.
743
00:35:25,499 --> 00:35:26,375
Thanks.
744
00:35:27,626 --> 00:35:28,502
[sighs]
745
00:35:28,961 --> 00:35:30,420
What's eating you, Jess?
746
00:35:30,504 --> 00:35:32,881
Story problems? No, nothing really.
747
00:35:33,173 --> 00:35:35,008
Lorna Buffum's murder.
748
00:35:35,092 --> 00:35:36,009
And?
749
00:35:36,093 --> 00:35:39,221
And this this whole Marina project.
750
00:35:39,304 --> 00:35:41,974
I'm worried for Grady
and for everyone else.
751
00:35:42,057 --> 00:35:45,102
There's something about it
that isn't quite right.
752
00:35:45,185 --> 00:35:47,271
And yet, for every one of my doubts,
753
00:35:47,354 --> 00:35:49,439
there seems to be an explanation.
754
00:35:49,523 --> 00:35:51,859
Maybe that ought to tell you something.
755
00:35:51,942 --> 00:35:55,028
What with the investigating
that Mort has done,
756
00:35:55,112 --> 00:35:59,032
and now Grady's banker satisfied
to give him a loan.
757
00:36:00,701 --> 00:36:03,120
Well, I do have patients
758
00:36:03,203 --> 00:36:05,122
scheduled in about ten minutes.
759
00:36:05,205 --> 00:36:06,832
What is it, Jess?
760
00:36:06,915 --> 00:36:09,001
Young Frank's first sentence.
761
00:36:09,084 --> 00:36:11,253
Uh, let me see.
762
00:36:11,336 --> 00:36:13,338
"Where did my nickel go?"
763
00:36:13,422 --> 00:36:16,383
Exactly. Denver Martin said he knew
764
00:36:16,466 --> 00:36:19,803
where his mother's money went,
but he never told us.
765
00:36:19,887 --> 00:36:21,555
Can you give me a lift to the motel?
766
00:36:21,638 --> 00:36:22,848
Well, sure.
767
00:36:22,931 --> 00:36:25,058
I think you do know
768
00:36:25,142 --> 00:36:27,144
what I'm talking about, Mr. Martin,
769
00:36:27,227 --> 00:36:29,646
and I think the reason that
you didn't tell the sheriff
770
00:36:29,730 --> 00:36:32,941
how you knew where your
mother's $75,000 went
771
00:36:33,025 --> 00:36:36,111
is because you came by
the information illegally.
772
00:36:36,194 --> 00:36:38,405
Okay. I suppose you're right.
773
00:36:38,488 --> 00:36:41,074
Well, then I may be able to help you.
774
00:36:43,493 --> 00:36:45,954
These are statements from Carmody's
offshore bank.
775
00:36:46,038 --> 00:36:47,915
I took 'em from his room.
That's all you took?
776
00:36:47,998 --> 00:36:49,583
Yeah. I was lucky to get those.
777
00:36:49,666 --> 00:36:51,710
I know they don't prove anything,
778
00:36:51,793 --> 00:36:53,712
except that he moved a lot of money
out of the country
779
00:36:53,795 --> 00:36:55,881
where the authorities couldn't touch it.
780
00:36:55,964 --> 00:36:59,927
And in my book, that makes him
guilty as hell.
781
00:37:00,010 --> 00:37:01,511
Was there anything else in that room?
782
00:37:01,595 --> 00:37:03,555
Anything that stuck in your mind?
783
00:37:03,639 --> 00:37:05,599
Like ledgers? Papers?
784
00:37:05,682 --> 00:37:08,518
Not really. There was some
credit card receipts,
785
00:37:08,602 --> 00:37:10,771
a bank book, some business
station head,
786
00:37:10,854 --> 00:37:12,940
was that Columbus Ventures stationery?
787
00:37:13,023 --> 00:37:15,734
Yeah. No, there was more than that.
788
00:37:15,817 --> 00:37:17,778
It was from an environmental outfit
789
00:37:17,861 --> 00:37:19,321
called, uh...
790
00:37:19,404 --> 00:37:21,448
save the Oregon forests, I think.
791
00:37:21,531 --> 00:37:25,327
Denver, you may have found a way
792
00:37:25,410 --> 00:37:28,664
to send Mr. Carmody
and his friends to jail
793
00:37:28,747 --> 00:37:31,917
and also get your mother's money back.
794
00:37:35,337 --> 00:37:39,716
Yeah, uh, I guess Mr. Carmody's gone, too.
795
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:43,553
Mort, uh, can you tell me
what this is about?
796
00:37:43,637 --> 00:37:45,013
I'm afraid it's about a lot of people
797
00:37:45,097 --> 00:37:46,807
being cheated out of a lot of money.
798
00:37:46,890 --> 00:37:48,308
Carmody, miss shaw and Everett Buffum
799
00:37:48,392 --> 00:37:51,311
are all con artists. Oh, my god, then
800
00:37:51,395 --> 00:37:54,439
they never intended to build anything.
Thanks.
801
00:37:54,523 --> 00:37:56,733
Andy, get out A.P.B.'s on 'em, and quick.
802
00:37:56,817 --> 00:37:58,360
Hopefully they haven't gotten too far.
803
00:37:58,443 --> 00:38:00,904
Mr. Jordan at the bank said
about 1.2 million
804
00:38:00,988 --> 00:38:03,115
had already cleared into
an offshore account.
805
00:38:03,198 --> 00:38:04,783
He was able to stop payment on the rest.
806
00:38:04,866 --> 00:38:06,743
You sure had it nailed, Mrs. F.
807
00:38:06,827 --> 00:38:09,705
I've been on the horn with Oregon,
Florida, the N.C.I.C.
808
00:38:09,788 --> 00:38:12,207
Carmody turns out to have a major record
as a bunco artist,
809
00:38:12,290 --> 00:38:14,126
along with a string of aliases,
810
00:38:14,209 --> 00:38:16,712
one of which he used to start that
environmental group.
811
00:38:16,795 --> 00:38:19,131
So he was actually preventing
his own company
812
00:38:19,214 --> 00:38:21,091
from going forward out there in Oregon?
813
00:38:21,174 --> 00:38:23,218
And in Florida, the inclement weather
814
00:38:23,301 --> 00:38:25,887
did the job for them.
It was all choreographed.
815
00:38:25,971 --> 00:38:28,598
Everett Buffum claimed to be discouraged
816
00:38:28,682 --> 00:38:32,352
and withdrew his nonexistent funding.
Like he did here.
817
00:38:32,436 --> 00:38:34,563
But the locals were
so fired up with the project,
818
00:38:34,646 --> 00:38:36,398
they became easy game
819
00:38:36,481 --> 00:38:38,358
when Pete and toni started
selling the shares.
820
00:38:38,442 --> 00:38:41,611
God, it was right there in front of me.
821
00:38:41,695 --> 00:38:43,530
I sensed it. I just...
822
00:38:43,613 --> 00:38:45,741
chose not to ask the questions.
823
00:38:45,824 --> 00:38:48,994
If it's any consolation,
you were not the only one.
824
00:38:49,077 --> 00:38:51,580
[Seth] So which one of them
did kill Lorna Buffum?
825
00:38:51,663 --> 00:38:54,666
Her husband, Carmody or miss shaw?
826
00:38:54,750 --> 00:38:57,294
Take your pick. Hopefully,
if we can catch these beauties
827
00:38:57,377 --> 00:38:58,754
before they get out of the country,
828
00:38:58,837 --> 00:39:00,422
we'll catch ourselves a killer
829
00:39:00,505 --> 00:39:02,257
and nobody'll be out any serious cash.
830
00:39:02,340 --> 00:39:04,509
Andy, I've told you close the stamp pad.
831
00:39:04,593 --> 00:39:06,970
[Andy] Oh, sorry, sheriff.
832
00:39:07,054 --> 00:39:09,765
[Seth] Well, Jessica I think I'd better
833
00:39:11,808 --> 00:39:13,351
Jessica?
834
00:39:13,435 --> 00:39:16,438
Mort, I think I know
835
00:39:16,521 --> 00:39:18,690
who killed Lorna Buffum
836
00:39:18,774 --> 00:39:21,610
and why she drank so little of that gin.
837
00:39:21,693 --> 00:39:24,321
And I think a quick call to the
county clerk's office
838
00:39:24,404 --> 00:39:27,407
will tell us why she was killed.
839
00:39:30,243 --> 00:39:33,080
[Grady] No, no news about
toni, Pete or Everett.
840
00:39:33,163 --> 00:39:35,123
But there is a development.
841
00:39:35,207 --> 00:39:37,167
Yeah. Well, the sheriff has learned
842
00:39:37,250 --> 00:39:39,461
that the state police lab
has a way of getting D.N.A.
843
00:39:39,544 --> 00:39:41,129
and hair and fabric samples
844
00:39:41,213 --> 00:39:43,131
from the car Mrs. Buffum was driving.
845
00:39:43,590 --> 00:39:45,300
Yeah, so he's shipping it
down there in the morning,
846
00:39:45,383 --> 00:39:47,010
and he figures in a few days
847
00:39:47,094 --> 00:39:49,596
he'll have this denver Martin dead-bang.
848
00:39:50,347 --> 00:39:54,017
Yeah. Right. Okay. Good night.
849
00:39:57,813 --> 00:40:00,565
[line ringing]
850
00:40:00,649 --> 00:40:02,818
Done and done.
851
00:40:02,901 --> 00:40:05,112
[car approaching]
852
00:40:15,705 --> 00:40:18,250
[lock clicks]
853
00:40:21,711 --> 00:40:23,922
[metallic clattering]
854
00:40:36,935 --> 00:40:38,228
[Metzger] Hold it right there, Noah!
855
00:40:38,311 --> 00:40:40,021
I'm placing you under arrest
856
00:40:40,105 --> 00:40:41,898
for the murder of Lorna Buffum.
857
00:40:41,982 --> 00:40:43,608
You have the right to remain silent.
858
00:40:43,692 --> 00:40:45,193
If you give up the right
859
00:40:45,277 --> 00:40:47,195
thank you, Mort, but I know my rights.
860
00:40:47,279 --> 00:40:48,780
I guess there's not much point
861
00:40:48,864 --> 00:40:50,699
in trying to deny it, is there?
862
00:40:50,782 --> 00:40:52,367
Not a whole lot, Noah.
863
00:40:52,450 --> 00:40:54,536
You had Grady call me.
864
00:40:55,328 --> 00:40:57,998
I guess I must be
the original Patsy for setups.
865
00:40:58,081 --> 00:40:59,416
How did you know?
866
00:40:59,499 --> 00:41:01,501
There were several things.
867
00:41:01,585 --> 00:41:04,337
Actually, the smudge on your blazer
868
00:41:04,421 --> 00:41:05,964
that you got when you lost the cap
869
00:41:06,047 --> 00:41:07,716
to one of those inexpensive felt-tip pens
870
00:41:07,799 --> 00:41:09,342
that you carry.
871
00:41:09,426 --> 00:41:12,137
Andy found it where
it fell in Lorna's car,
872
00:41:12,220 --> 00:41:14,598
probably as you were
trying to make her death
873
00:41:14,681 --> 00:41:16,725
appear to be an accident.
874
00:41:16,808 --> 00:41:19,227
I'd been looking at it every time
I'd seen you in that blazer,
875
00:41:19,311 --> 00:41:21,313
but I didn't connect it
till earlier this evening,
876
00:41:21,396 --> 00:41:23,773
when Mort got an ink smudge on his hand.
877
00:41:24,357 --> 00:41:26,151
You wanna tell him about the gin, Mrs. F?
878
00:41:26,234 --> 00:41:27,986
Gin? The cheap generic brand
879
00:41:28,069 --> 00:41:30,530
you bought to help you try and talk her
880
00:41:30,614 --> 00:41:32,365
out of spilling the goods to me.
881
00:41:32,449 --> 00:41:34,284
That was right there in front of us, too,
882
00:41:34,367 --> 00:41:36,328
the other night at the presentation.
883
00:41:36,411 --> 00:41:39,331
Lorna made it pretty clear
that clothes and jewelry
884
00:41:39,414 --> 00:41:42,751
weren't the only things for which she had
expensive tastes.
885
00:41:42,834 --> 00:41:46,254
God, whose bathtub did this come from?
Grady, please.
886
00:41:46,338 --> 00:41:48,882
[Jessica] Then, a few days ago,
in Pauline's storefront...
887
00:41:49,216 --> 00:41:51,509
hey, I guess between
the weather and the visibility
888
00:41:51,593 --> 00:41:54,971
and the cheap booze, Mrs. Buffum
didn't stand much of a chance.
889
00:41:55,180 --> 00:41:56,848
It went right past me at the time,
890
00:41:56,932 --> 00:41:58,683
but only the killer would have known
891
00:41:58,767 --> 00:42:01,019
about the cheap generic brand of gin.
892
00:42:01,102 --> 00:42:04,064
It also explains why she'd
drunk so little of it.
893
00:42:04,147 --> 00:42:06,566
On top of that, we checked
with the county clerk,
894
00:42:06,650 --> 00:42:08,652
and he tells us you're in
the process of buying
895
00:42:08,735 --> 00:42:11,529
12 pieces of real estate
in and around cabot cove--
896
00:42:11,613 --> 00:42:13,531
Way more than you can afford.
897
00:42:13,615 --> 00:42:15,909
Including Pauline Higgins' storefront
898
00:42:15,992 --> 00:42:17,994
the one leased by Columbus Ventures--
899
00:42:18,078 --> 00:42:20,038
Property that you were counting on
900
00:42:20,121 --> 00:42:23,208
to quickly triple or quadruple in value
in a big hurry,
901
00:42:23,291 --> 00:42:24,876
which would've gotten you off the hook,
902
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:27,170
unless Lorna Buffum blew the whistle.
903
00:42:27,254 --> 00:42:29,547
I suggest you grab a lifeboat,
904
00:42:29,631 --> 00:42:31,424
because I'm gonna do what
I should've done months ago--
905
00:42:31,508 --> 00:42:34,886
Blast you, Everett, J. Peter Carmody,
906
00:42:34,970 --> 00:42:36,638
and Columbus Ventures out of the water
907
00:42:36,721 --> 00:42:38,348
and into prison, where you belong.
908
00:42:38,431 --> 00:42:40,225
[Metzger] And you couldn't
allow her to do that.
909
00:42:40,308 --> 00:42:42,060
I don't know.
910
00:42:42,143 --> 00:42:44,980
It seemed like such a sure-fire
way to get rich.
911
00:42:45,063 --> 00:42:48,191
But then, when I heard Mrs. Buffum say
that she was gonna...
912
00:42:48,775 --> 00:42:51,903
report the whole thing
to the law, I panicked.
913
00:42:51,987 --> 00:42:54,030
Hell, I had dug a hole for myself so deep
914
00:42:54,114 --> 00:42:56,408
there was no way I was ever gonna see
daylight again.
915
00:42:56,491 --> 00:42:58,243
I had to talk to her,
916
00:42:58,702 --> 00:43:00,662
to find out how much she knew,
917
00:43:01,246 --> 00:43:03,707
if she was serious.
918
00:43:03,790 --> 00:43:06,334
I knew she'd already checked out
of the hotel.
919
00:43:11,589 --> 00:43:12,799
When she left hill house,
920
00:43:12,882 --> 00:43:14,801
I waited for her in the back seat.
921
00:43:15,302 --> 00:43:16,428
And when she got to a street
922
00:43:16,511 --> 00:43:17,846
that was near the waterfront,
923
00:43:17,929 --> 00:43:19,431
I got her to pull over
924
00:43:19,514 --> 00:43:21,725
and we talked a long time.
925
00:43:22,142 --> 00:43:24,019
She showed me proof.
926
00:43:24,102 --> 00:43:26,146
All I could see was that I'd be ruined.
927
00:43:26,229 --> 00:43:29,858
I was desperate. I pleaded with her,
but it--
928
00:43:29,941 --> 00:43:31,568
It was no use.
929
00:43:31,651 --> 00:43:33,445
She wouldn't touch any of that cheap gin.
930
00:43:33,528 --> 00:43:35,363
But I'd had too much of it.
931
00:43:35,447 --> 00:43:37,741
The more we argued, the angrier I became.
932
00:43:37,824 --> 00:43:39,451
I guess I lost all control.
933
00:43:39,534 --> 00:43:41,703
[grunts]
934
00:43:41,786 --> 00:43:44,539
She was unconscious, so I propped her up.
935
00:43:44,622 --> 00:43:47,125
I took the incriminating documents she'd
brought with her.
936
00:43:47,208 --> 00:43:49,085
I guess that's when the pen top fell off.
937
00:43:51,421 --> 00:43:53,298
I tried to wipe everything clean
938
00:43:53,381 --> 00:43:55,175
the door handles, the gin bottle.
939
00:43:55,258 --> 00:43:57,385
And then I put the car into drive.
940
00:44:03,266 --> 00:44:05,518
[sighing] All I asked her for
941
00:44:05,602 --> 00:44:07,562
was a couple of more days.
942
00:44:15,362 --> 00:44:17,072
Well, that's terrific, sweetheart.
943
00:44:17,155 --> 00:44:19,491
Yeah. Me, too. Okay, I'll see you tonight.
944
00:44:19,783 --> 00:44:22,660
Yeah. And kiss Frankie
for me. Okay. Bye-bye.
945
00:44:23,119 --> 00:44:24,537
The job in new York came through.
946
00:44:24,621 --> 00:44:26,373
Wonderful. Now could we please
947
00:44:26,456 --> 00:44:28,416
get going to the railroad station?
948
00:44:28,500 --> 00:44:31,086
Seth, will you just relax?
We've got plenty of time.
949
00:44:31,169 --> 00:44:32,379
[knocking at door]
950
00:44:32,462 --> 00:44:34,172
-Mrs. F?
-Oh, Mort!
951
00:44:34,255 --> 00:44:35,715
Grady, am I glad I caught you.
952
00:44:35,799 --> 00:44:37,175
Remember that business card
you saw
953
00:44:37,258 --> 00:44:38,551
in Pete Carmody's briefcase?
954
00:44:38,635 --> 00:44:40,637
For the air charter company?
955
00:44:40,720 --> 00:44:42,889
Yeah. The state police have
just apprehended Carmody,
956
00:44:42,972 --> 00:44:45,433
miss shaw, Everett Buffum,
boarding a seaplane
957
00:44:45,517 --> 00:44:47,060
in bar harbor headed for Canada.
958
00:44:47,143 --> 00:44:48,395
God, that's great!
959
00:44:48,478 --> 00:44:50,313
Does that make Grady eligible
960
00:44:50,397 --> 00:44:52,732
for the reward that was
posted by that man in Oregon?
961
00:44:52,816 --> 00:44:53,817
Absolutely.
962
00:44:53,900 --> 00:44:55,610
Wow!
963
00:44:55,693 --> 00:44:57,737
Wow. Um, listen,
964
00:44:57,821 --> 00:44:59,989
I'd like to contribute it
to the lighthouse restoration.
965
00:45:00,073 --> 00:45:03,034
That's very gracious of you, Grady.
966
00:45:03,118 --> 00:45:05,328
And the best news is that everybody who
invested in their scams
967
00:45:05,412 --> 00:45:06,871
will get their money back.
968
00:45:07,705 --> 00:45:09,457
Yeah, Doc, you're gonna get yours back,
969
00:45:09,541 --> 00:45:10,917
and, uh...
970
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:13,211
I'm gonna get mine.
971
00:45:13,294 --> 00:45:15,296
That makes me feel a whole lot better.
972
00:45:15,380 --> 00:45:18,383
[laughing]
