00:00:00,601 --> 00:00:03,661
[Gunshots]
[Woman] Tonight on Murder, She Wrote.
2
00:00:03,737 --> 00:00:06,763
He was bird-dogging three cases,
one of which was yours.
3
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:10,037
And that's why we're all gonna
stay out of Harry McGraw's way.
4
00:00:10,110 --> 00:00:13,944
So Mr. McGraw can try,
sentence and execute him?
5
00:00:14,014 --> 00:00:15,879
Guess we don't have to worry
about him anymore, huh?
6
00:00:15,949 --> 00:00:18,713
I don't know anything
about your murdered detective.
7
00:00:18,786 --> 00:00:21,619
Be sure you clearly
understand our libel laws.
8
00:00:21,688 --> 00:00:24,418
I don't know why this detective's
been digging into our past.
9
00:00:24,491 --> 00:00:27,756
His arm comes up in a certain way,
I know it's gonna be trouble.
10
00:00:27,828 --> 00:00:29,887
[Gasps]
11
00:01:27,988 --> 00:01:30,320
[Man]
Doctor passed away nine years ago.
12
00:01:30,390 --> 00:01:33,416
I tracked his wife, uh,
to a town in California.
13
00:01:33,494 --> 00:01:36,986
She's remarried.
She had nothing to say. Hold on a second.
14
00:01:37,064 --> 00:01:40,124
Excuse me, Archie.
I got a date. See you tomorrow.
15
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,931
- Okay, Alma. Have a good time.
- [Kisses]
16
00:01:45,439 --> 00:01:48,101
Yeah, um, and the... Let's see.
17
00:01:48,175 --> 00:01:50,939
The medical examiner is also dead.
18
00:01:51,011 --> 00:01:55,311
The hospital administrator who forged
the admittance forms disappeared in '75.
19
00:01:55,382 --> 00:01:59,216
And get this one. The cop on the case
went nuts six years ago.
20
00:01:59,286 --> 00:02:02,312
Oh, dear. I was afraid
of something like that.
21
00:02:02,389 --> 00:02:04,323
Look, Mrs. Fletcher.
22
00:02:04,391 --> 00:02:07,485
I think that the Danbury Scalpel Murder
is a fine idea for a book.
23
00:02:07,561 --> 00:02:11,327
But face it, the case occurred
25 years ago, and I'm at a dead end.
24
00:02:11,398 --> 00:02:15,300
- Well, almost.
- Almost?
25
00:02:15,369 --> 00:02:18,896
I may have a lead on a nurse
who was on duty that night.
26
00:02:18,972 --> 00:02:20,906
Uh, Martha Clay.
27
00:02:20,974 --> 00:02:25,570
It means driving down to a small town
in Vermont this weekend. Anything you can do.
28
00:02:25,646 --> 00:02:29,673
The trouble is I have two other cases
besides this one, and, uh...
29
00:02:29,750 --> 00:02:32,241
Well, okay, if it's that important.
30
00:02:32,319 --> 00:02:35,254
Thanks very much, Mr. Miles.
I'll wait to hear from you.
31
00:02:35,322 --> 00:02:37,256
Sure thing. Bye-bye.
32
00:02:37,324 --> 00:02:40,760
[Horns Honking Outside]
33
00:02:40,827 --> 00:02:44,422
8:29, Friday the 17 th.
34
00:02:44,498 --> 00:02:47,433
Concluded phone report
to clientJ.B. Fletcher...
35
00:02:47,501 --> 00:02:51,801
regarding search for principals involved
in the Danbury Scalpel Murder, and...
36
00:02:51,872 --> 00:02:54,500
[Keys, Doorknob Jangling]
37
00:02:54,575 --> 00:02:57,703
Who's there?
Alma, is that you?
38
00:03:06,019 --> 00:03:10,149
[Two Gunshots]
39
00:03:10,224 --> 00:03:13,625
[Man Groans]
40
00:03:31,044 --> 00:03:33,274
[Phone Rings]
41
00:03:33,347 --> 00:03:36,009
Santini.
42
00:03:36,083 --> 00:03:38,313
Oh, yeah. Hi. How ya doin'?
43
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,588
Yeah? No, I didn't see it.
Hang on.
44
00:03:51,164 --> 00:03:54,759
Yeah, I think this is the guy
that was following me.
45
00:03:54,835 --> 00:03:57,929
What do you know?
46
00:03:58,005 --> 00:04:01,065
Guess we don't have to worry
about him anymore, huh?
47
00:04:04,177 --> 00:04:08,614
[Woman On Speaker]
Flight 214 from Paris now arriving at Gate 22.
48
00:04:08,682 --> 00:04:11,708
Well, don't you want to know
about Paris?
49
00:04:11,785 --> 00:04:14,447
Well, all right.
How was Paris?
50
00:04:14,521 --> 00:04:18,855
I think we've struck a deal
with the Duvalier Group for a French edition.
51
00:04:18,925 --> 00:04:22,861
Ooh,
Femininity on the Champs-Elysées.
That's wonderful. How did you do it?
52
00:04:22,929 --> 00:04:25,591
You're too young to ask.
53
00:04:25,666 --> 00:04:29,534
I hate to break this to you, but Larry's
set up a press conference at 4:00.
54
00:04:29,603 --> 00:04:31,969
It's sort of a five-year
birthday party.
55
00:04:32,039 --> 00:04:35,167
Our anniversary is on Friday.
That's when we'll entertain the press.
56
00:04:35,242 --> 00:04:37,506
[Man]
Priscilla!
57
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,014
Priss, you look marvelous.
58
00:04:42,082 --> 00:04:45,415
Thank you, Gavin.
What a surprise.
59
00:04:45,485 --> 00:04:48,454
You know Erin Carey,
the magazine's designer?
60
00:04:48,522 --> 00:04:50,456
Yes, of course.
[Erin] Hi.
61
00:04:50,524 --> 00:04:54,483
- Look. We have to talk.
- I'll wait in the limo.
62
00:04:58,598 --> 00:05:01,066
Sorry to dampen
your homecoming...
63
00:05:01,134 --> 00:05:04,501
I didn't think you drove all the way
down from the university just to say hi.
64
00:05:04,571 --> 00:05:09,565
A week ago, a private detective
came nosing around the campus asking a lot of questions.
65
00:05:09,643 --> 00:05:12,476
About you, me, our marriage.
What did he learn?
66
00:05:12,546 --> 00:05:14,946
From me? Nothing.
67
00:05:15,015 --> 00:05:18,143
I clipped this out of yesterday's newspaper.
68
00:05:18,218 --> 00:05:20,652
Oh, my God.
69
00:05:20,721 --> 00:05:23,656
We have to do something.
Do what?
70
00:05:23,724 --> 00:05:27,660
I don't know why this detective's
been digging into our past,
71
00:05:27,728 --> 00:05:30,322
but we have our own lives now, Priss.
72
00:05:30,397 --> 00:05:33,855
I don't want all that dredged up.
73
00:05:35,302 --> 00:05:37,236
Why don't we just wait and see?
74
00:05:37,304 --> 00:05:40,899
How about dinner tonight?
Just for old times' sake.
75
00:05:42,809 --> 00:05:45,710
I have to get back.
Faculty meeting.
76
00:05:45,779 --> 00:05:47,974
Perhaps next time.
77
00:05:51,518 --> 00:05:54,578
[Seagulls Squawking]
78
00:07:06,326 --> 00:07:09,454
[Jessica]
Are you looking for something special?
79
00:07:11,531 --> 00:07:15,467
I assume you have a very good reason
for breaking into my home.
80
00:07:15,535 --> 00:07:19,130
Harry McGraw, Mrs. Fletcher.
You're one of my clients.
81
00:07:19,206 --> 00:07:21,834
Miles & McGraw.
82
00:07:21,908 --> 00:07:24,172
Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. McGraw.
83
00:07:24,244 --> 00:07:27,145
I understood that Mr. Miles
was handling my investigation.
84
00:07:27,214 --> 00:07:30,149
Not anymore. Three nights ago,
somebody blew him apart...
85
00:07:30,217 --> 00:07:33,277
with a.45 automatic.
Oh, Lord...
86
00:07:33,353 --> 00:07:36,151
He was bird-dogging three cases,
one of which was yours.
87
00:07:36,223 --> 00:07:39,852
Well, surely you don't think that l...
No, I don't.
88
00:07:39,926 --> 00:07:42,224
But somebody involved
with your case might have.
89
00:07:42,295 --> 00:07:46,356
Mr. McGraw, if you needed information
from me, all you had to do was call and ask.
90
00:07:46,433 --> 00:07:49,664
- That's not my style.
- So I see.
91
00:07:49,736 --> 00:07:53,399
Well, what makes you think
it was my case that led to his death?
92
00:07:53,473 --> 00:07:56,670
I don't think anything yet.
I've been in Tulsa for the past month...
93
00:07:56,743 --> 00:07:59,075
doing undercover work
on an oil field.
94
00:07:59,145 --> 00:08:01,705
Mr. McGraw,
I liked Mr. Miles very much.
95
00:08:01,781 --> 00:08:03,715
If there's anything
that I can do to help...
96
00:08:03,783 --> 00:08:06,547
I don't need or want
your help, Mrs. Fletcher.
97
00:08:06,620 --> 00:08:09,418
As a matter of fact,
I'm beginning to think this Danbury case of yours...
98
00:08:09,489 --> 00:08:11,423
is as dead as Al Capone.
99
00:08:11,491 --> 00:08:14,722
He said he might have a lead.
A little town in Vermont.
100
00:08:14,794 --> 00:08:19,595
There was nothing about that in the files.
It took a lot of guts to face me down in here, not knowing who I was.
101
00:08:19,666 --> 00:08:22,760
It didn't take
any guts at all, Mr. McGraw.
102
00:08:22,836 --> 00:08:27,432
While I was out, I phoned the sheriff.
He should be along anytime now.
103
00:08:27,507 --> 00:08:31,500
You'll excuse me, but I don't have time
to waste with any hick cop.
104
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,507
We both liked Archie, Mrs. Fletcher,
and I'm gonna balance the books.
105
00:08:37,584 --> 00:08:40,075
You can count on it.
106
00:08:59,940 --> 00:09:02,431
[Jessica]
Mrs. Miles?
107
00:09:02,509 --> 00:09:05,740
Please accept my condolences.
I'm Jessica Fletcher.
108
00:09:05,812 --> 00:09:09,475
Your husband was working
on a case for me. I know who you are, Mrs. Fletcher.
109
00:09:09,549 --> 00:09:12,450
He was a delightful man.
I liked him very much.
110
00:09:12,519 --> 00:09:15,147
So did I. Excuse me.
111
00:09:15,221 --> 00:09:18,554
Uh, Mrs. Miles, I'm upset
at the thought that I, uh...
112
00:09:18,625 --> 00:09:21,389
that is, that my case might have led
to your husband's death.
113
00:09:21,461 --> 00:09:24,828
I'd like your help.
There's nothing I can tell you.
114
00:09:24,898 --> 00:09:29,733
Well, on the telephone he mentioned
he had a lead to a little town in Vermont,
115
00:09:29,803 --> 00:09:32,169
but there's nothing in his files.
116
00:09:32,238 --> 00:09:35,401
Perhaps he said something to you.
No. I'm sorry.
117
00:09:35,475 --> 00:09:38,308
Mrs. Miles...
Look, Mrs. Fletcher. He's dead.
118
00:09:38,378 --> 00:09:41,836
Whatever he was doing died with him.
119
00:09:41,915 --> 00:09:44,679
It doesn't make a bit of difference now.
120
00:09:44,751 --> 00:09:47,345
[Door Opens, Closes]
121
00:10:06,573 --> 00:10:08,666
Hi.
So?
122
00:10:08,742 --> 00:10:12,872
- Well, he's still in there.
-
All right. I'll take it from here.
123
00:10:12,946 --> 00:10:15,779
- You talk to his wife yet?
- Our client?
124
00:10:15,849 --> 00:10:19,341
Yeah.
Yeah. Nice lady. She's put together like a Steinway.
125
00:10:19,419 --> 00:10:22,047
[Laughing]
A little dim upstairs though.
126
00:10:22,122 --> 00:10:26,320
She still loves this guy,
even though he's probably dippin' in somebody else's hot tub.
127
00:10:26,393 --> 00:10:30,386
Well, I'll see you tomorrow.
Oh, Ray, do me a favor.
128
00:10:30,463 --> 00:10:33,159
Buzz by the Daniels woman's place
and find out what's happening, huh?
129
00:10:33,233 --> 00:10:36,464
Harry, give me a break.
I've been up for 20 hours.
130
00:10:36,536 --> 00:10:39,164
Yeah, all right. Go ahead.
Go home and get some sleep.
131

Surveillance subject Ernest Santini

heading north on Saddler Avenue,
driving late model Seville.
137

Speed moderate.

00:12:04,524 --> 00:12:07,721
Hey. Hey, look! Take it easy! What...
141
00:12:12,699 --> 00:12:14,894
Ah, come on, fellas.
142
00:12:14,968 --> 00:12:17,960
Mr. Santini asked us
to give you a message, sport.
143
00:12:30,850 --> 00:12:33,842

144
00:12:36,322 --> 00:12:38,256
[Gasps]
Harry!
145
00:12:38,324 --> 00:12:40,554
Forget it, Alma.
I'm not in the mood.
146
00:12:40,627 --> 00:12:44,256
L-I don't suppose you saw a doctor.
As soon as we get Blue Cross, sweetheart.
147
00:12:44,330 --> 00:12:48,596
Listen. Get Ray in here. I'm gonna nail
that Sicilian bricklayer to the barn door.
148
00:12:48,668 --> 00:12:53,105
Harry, you got company.
She said you were expecting her.
149
00:12:54,541 --> 00:12:57,669
[Sighs]
150
00:12:59,145 --> 00:13:01,670
[Groans]
Mrs. Fletcher. Good morning, Mr. McGraw.
151
00:13:01,748 --> 00:13:03,682
Oh, dear. What happened?
152
00:13:03,750 --> 00:13:07,049
I fell off a building.
Look. I'm kinda busy right now.
153
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:11,318
Well, so am I. I've got my files
from the Danbury Scalpel Murder trial.
154
00:13:11,391 --> 00:13:13,450
I'd like to go through them with you.
155
00:13:13,526 --> 00:13:16,120
Lady, I told you.
That case is a dead-end.
156
00:13:16,196 --> 00:13:18,664
Sure, 25 years ago
it sold a lot of newspapers.
157
00:13:18,731 --> 00:13:22,292
Rich doctor acquitted of hospital
murder by sharp lawyer.
158
00:13:22,368 --> 00:13:24,393
Was he really innocent?
Who cares?
159
00:13:24,470 --> 00:13:26,802
The guy died nine years ago,
160
00:13:26,873 --> 00:13:30,104
along with practically everybody else
connected with the case.
161
00:13:30,176 --> 00:13:33,145
So do me a favor, huh?
Just let it alone, and me alone with it.
162
00:13:33,213 --> 00:13:38,310
I will as soon as I'm satisfied that
your partner's investigation of that case did not lead to his death.
163
00:13:38,384 --> 00:13:41,376
Remember I told you Archie
was working on three cases?
164
00:13:41,454 --> 00:13:44,423
One of the other two...
That's where I'm gonna find our guy.
165
00:13:44,490 --> 00:13:47,482
Are you sure of that?
Let me spell it out for you.
166
00:13:47,560 --> 00:13:49,494
One, there's a guy named Santini.
167
00:13:49,562 --> 00:13:52,030
He's been cattin' around every night
for about the past six weeks.
168
00:13:52,098 --> 00:13:55,864
Wife smells another broad. Why not?
They've been married almost 20 years.
169
00:13:55,935 --> 00:13:58,495
So last night I'm tailing this Santini,
170
00:13:58,571 --> 00:14:02,234
and I run into three of his pals
who try to use me for a trampoline.
171
00:14:02,308 --> 00:14:04,401
So I see. But they didn't kill you.
172
00:14:04,477 --> 00:14:08,345
If they'd been responsible for killing
Mr. Miles, they'd hardly hesitate in eliminating you as well.
173
00:14:08,414 --> 00:14:10,746
What's the other case?
174
00:14:10,817 --> 00:14:13,684
A background investigation
on a dame named Priscilla Daniels.
175
00:14:13,753 --> 00:14:15,948
Oh, yes. The woman who runs
Femininity magazine.
176
00:14:16,022 --> 00:14:18,354
- A friend?
- No.
177
00:14:18,424 --> 00:14:21,621
But for the past two years, she's been trying
to encourage me to write an article.
178
00:14:21,694 --> 00:14:24,595
Good idea. Do it,
and stay out of my hair.
179
00:14:24,664 --> 00:14:27,428
Mr. McGraw, there's
no reason to be rude.
180
00:14:27,500 --> 00:14:31,163
Look, Mrs. Fletcher.
Why don't you take some advice...
181
00:14:31,237 --> 00:14:35,401
Why don't you devote that boundless energy
of yours to needlepoint or a bridge club?
182
00:14:35,475 --> 00:14:40,276
I tried that. It's precisely
the reason I wrote my first book. I was bored out of my mind.
183
00:14:40,346 --> 00:14:43,042
Well, I read your first book,
and I was bored out of
my mind.
184
00:14:43,116 --> 00:14:45,949
Ah, that's your privilege.
May I look at your file, please?
185
00:14:46,019 --> 00:14:49,750
Why not? You paid for them.
Here. Take 'em with you.
186
00:14:49,822 --> 00:14:53,622
Anything else? Good.
Because I'm kinda busy right now.
187
00:14:53,693 --> 00:14:55,627
Thank you.
Harry... Oh, excuse me.
188
00:14:55,695 --> 00:14:58,129
It's okay, Ray.
The lady was just leaving.
189
00:14:58,197 --> 00:15:00,927
I'll leave my hotel number with your
secretary, just in case you need me.
190
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,332
Thank you very much.
191
00:15:04,737 --> 00:15:08,229
So, Harry, what happened?
[Laughing]
192
00:15:08,308 --> 00:15:11,175
Ray, stuff it.
193
00:15:18,518 --> 00:15:21,146
[Mr. Miles On Tape]
8:29, Friday the 17 th.
194
00:15:21,220 --> 00:15:24,348
Concluded phone report
to clientJ.B. Fletcher...
195
00:15:24,424 --> 00:15:28,292
regarding search for principals
involved in the Danbury Scalpel Murder,
196
00:15:28,361 --> 00:15:31,489
and...
[Keys, Doorknob Jangling]
197
00:15:31,564 --> 00:15:34,328

[Miles Groans]
203
00:15:51,517 --> 00:15:55,385
The final moments in the life
of a hell of a cop, Mrs. Fletcher.
204
00:15:55,455 --> 00:15:59,789
And a hell of a guy.
Not very pretty.
205
00:15:59,859 --> 00:16:01,918
No.
206
00:16:01,995 --> 00:16:05,021
Is that all you have, Lieutenant Starkey?
207
00:16:05,098 --> 00:16:09,364
That tape and what's in this file?
It's not very much.
208
00:16:09,435 --> 00:16:11,903
There wasn't very much to go on.
209
00:16:11,971 --> 00:16:14,701
Forgive me, Lieutenant,
but it was my understanding...
210
00:16:14,774 --> 00:16:17,004
that Mr. Miles taught
at the police academy,
211
00:16:17,076 --> 00:16:19,636
that he was liked
and respected by everyone.
212
00:16:19,712 --> 00:16:21,646
That's right.
213
00:16:21,714 --> 00:16:25,878
Then may I ask why the investigation
of his death isn't proceeding more actively?
214
00:16:31,958 --> 00:16:35,189
I'm gonna tell you something,
Mrs. Fletcher,
215
00:16:35,261 --> 00:16:40,255
and if you repeat it outside this office,
I'll deny every word.
216
00:16:40,333 --> 00:16:43,496
Archie Miles was like a father to us.
217
00:16:43,569 --> 00:16:46,766
We didn't just like the guy.
We loved him. All of us.
218
00:16:46,839 --> 00:16:50,331
So, believe me, we want to see
his killer go down permanently.
219
00:16:50,410 --> 00:16:53,868
And that's why we're all gonna
stay out of Harry McGraw's way.
220
00:16:53,946 --> 00:16:58,906
So Mr. McGraw can try,
sentence and execute him?
221
00:16:58,985 --> 00:17:02,512
Well, naturally we'd prefer
that he turn him over to us first.
222
00:17:02,588 --> 00:17:04,886
And if he doesn't?
223
00:17:04,957 --> 00:17:07,585
Well, at least we won't have to worry
about the possibility...
224
00:17:07,660 --> 00:17:10,686
of some slick lawyer getting
the dirtbag off on a technicality.
225
00:17:31,684 --> 00:17:36,917
Pardon me, ma'am. Wade Tyler.
Bimini Swimwear, Dallas, Texas. I'm here to see Ms. Daniels.
226
00:17:36,989 --> 00:17:39,822
Oh, yes. I believe Mr. King
is expecting you.
227
00:17:39,892 --> 00:17:43,988
[Laughs]
Well, ma'am, I'm used to dealing with the head honcho, not some office boy.
228
00:17:44,063 --> 00:17:47,624
Well, I'm sorry, sir, but Mrs. Daniels
is tied up in an important meeting.
229
00:17:47,700 --> 00:17:53,229
Mrs. Fletcher, I can't tell you
how delighted I was by your phone call after so long a time.
230
00:17:53,306 --> 00:17:58,505
An article by you
will be a major coup. Thank you, Mrs. Daniels.
231
00:17:58,578 --> 00:18:02,981
- Jessica... May I call you Jessica?
- Oh, yes, of course.
232
00:18:03,049 --> 00:18:06,849
Please call me Priscilla.
Let me tell you what I have in mind.
233
00:18:06,919 --> 00:18:10,047
A major piece.
234
00:18:10,123 --> 00:18:14,560
Something inspirational...
demonstrating how a woman past 40...
235
00:18:14,627 --> 00:18:18,688
can fend off the sharks
infesting the literary waters,
236
00:18:18,764 --> 00:18:23,758
relying solely on her guts
and her sense of identity as a woman.
237
00:18:23,836 --> 00:18:26,600
Well, that sounds
very colorful, but, um...
238
00:18:26,672 --> 00:18:31,939
Actually what I had in mind
was a remembrance of my marriage.
239
00:18:32,011 --> 00:18:35,447
I'm sorry you never knew Frank.
I think you'd have liked him.
240
00:18:35,515 --> 00:18:38,279
He was a kind and loving man...
241
00:18:38,351 --> 00:18:42,219
who taught me to value
the small joys of everyday life.
242
00:18:42,288 --> 00:18:45,155
Yes. Well, Jessica,
243
00:18:45,224 --> 00:18:48,819
I'm sure there's a place
for that sort of thing,
244
00:18:48,895 --> 00:18:51,056
but
Fem is a now magazine...
245
00:18:51,130 --> 00:18:55,624
aimed at the now woman
trying to cope in a man's world.
246
00:18:55,701 --> 00:18:58,636
Well, please forgive me.
I seem to have wasted your time.
247
00:18:58,704 --> 00:19:02,435
Now, wait. If that's
what you really want to write...
248
00:19:02,508 --> 00:19:05,068
I don't think
you'll be disappointed.
249

[Intercom Buzzes]
Excuse me.
250
00:19:08,581 --> 00:19:11,914
Yes?
Mrs. Daniels, Davis Randolph is on the line.
251
00:19:11,984 --> 00:19:16,080
He says he must speak to you.
It's quite important.
252
00:19:16,155 --> 00:19:18,555
Tell him I'll have to call him back.
253
00:19:20,159 --> 00:19:22,787
Look. I'm having a celebration
tomorrow evening.
254
00:19:22,862 --> 00:19:25,922
It's our fifth anniversary.
Please, would you come?
255
00:19:25,998 --> 00:19:30,094
I'd love to have you meet everyone.
Oh, how kind. Thanks. I will.
256
00:19:30,169 --> 00:19:33,297
My secretary will call you
with the details about the party.
257
00:19:33,372 --> 00:19:35,602
Where are you staying?
Oh, the Fillmore.
258
00:19:35,675 --> 00:19:37,768
Priscilla, here's someone
I want you to meet.
259
00:19:37,843 --> 00:19:41,210
Wade Tyler, ma'am.
Bimini Swimwear, Dallas, Texas.
260
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,407
And it sure is a pleasure
to make your acquaintance.
261
00:19:43,482 --> 00:19:46,280
Thank you, Mr. Tyler.
Mrs. Jessica Fletcher.
262
00:19:46,352 --> 00:19:49,185
The mystery gal. Why, sure!
263
00:19:49,255 --> 00:19:52,281
I must say it's a surprise
findin' you here.
264
00:19:52,358 --> 00:19:56,590
Well, you seem to be
a long way from Texas, Mr. [Clears Throat] Taylor.
265
00:19:56,662 --> 00:20:01,395
- Tyler.
- Well, you must have a lot of business to discuss, so I'll get out of your way.
266
00:20:01,467 --> 00:20:04,698
Good-bye.
Now, what can I do for you, Mr. Tyler?
267
00:20:04,770 --> 00:20:07,364
Well, I'm here to talk advertising,
Mrs. Daniels.
268
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,603
Advertising worth seven figures
that don't start with no measly "one."
269
00:20:10,676 --> 00:20:14,612
[With Southern Drawl]
Well, talk like that, you come right down to my office and set a spell.
270
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:19,549
Why, Mr. Tyler,
whatever did you do to your eye?
271
00:20:19,619 --> 00:20:22,782
Oh, just a minor disagreement
about my parentage, ma'am.
272
00:20:22,855 --> 00:20:24,789
[Laughs]
Nothin' serious.
273
00:20:37,903 --> 00:20:42,397
- How did you get in here?
- A two-year-old with a paper clip could jimmy that lock.
274
00:20:42,475 --> 00:20:47,412
You know, breaking in
is a very bad habit of yours.
275
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:51,473
Thanks for keepin' your mouth shut
with the Daniels babe.
276
00:20:51,550 --> 00:20:53,950
We're both after
the same thing, Mr. McGraw.
277
00:20:54,020 --> 00:20:56,147
There was no reason
for me to stand in your way.
278
00:20:56,222 --> 00:20:59,282
But you are getting in my way,
Mrs. Fletcher.
279
00:20:59,358 --> 00:21:02,452
You're working on
your case.
Priscilla Daniels is my territory.
280
00:21:02,528 --> 00:21:06,487
No. My one aim is to find out
who killed Mr. Miles, and I intend doing that,
281
00:21:06,565 --> 00:21:11,366
even if I have to camp out
in Priscilla Daniels's hip pocket.
282
00:21:11,437 --> 00:21:13,997
Oh, for heaven's sakes,
I'm beginning to talk like you.
283
00:21:14,073 --> 00:21:17,133
Mrs. Fletcher,
leave Archie's killer to me.
284
00:21:17,209 --> 00:21:19,370
So you can what? Eliminate him?
285
00:21:19,445 --> 00:21:22,778
When a man's partner gets killed,
he's supposed to do something about it.
286
00:21:22,848 --> 00:21:25,749
Well, surely not murder.
Call it whatever you want.
287
00:21:25,818 --> 00:21:29,652
I'm sorry, but I don't intend to stand by
and let you subvert the law,
288
00:21:29,722 --> 00:21:33,818
even if it means telling
Priscilla Daniels who you really are.
289
00:21:33,893 --> 00:21:37,124
- You are trouble.
- Thank you.
290
00:21:39,498 --> 00:21:43,662
Come by the office tomorrow.
We'll look over the files... together.
291
00:21:50,343 --> 00:21:52,675
[Jessica]
You know, there's nothing here...
292
00:21:52,745 --> 00:21:56,181
to say who hired you
to conduct the investigation or why?
293
00:21:56,248 --> 00:21:58,614
We don't know who or why.
294
00:21:58,684 --> 00:22:02,677
Archie accepted
a $1,000 retainer, in cash.
295
00:22:02,755 --> 00:22:05,986
Somebody with the initials E.P.F.
296
00:22:06,058 --> 00:22:08,788
Even Alma doesn't know
who the client is.
297
00:22:08,861 --> 00:22:13,992
Yesterday in her office, Mrs. Daniels
received a phone call from Davis Randolph.
298
00:22:14,066 --> 00:22:18,332
- The political finance chairman?
- She didn't want to talk in my presence.
299
00:22:18,404 --> 00:22:22,272
You know, the press have been hinting
that she might run...
300
00:22:22,341 --> 00:22:25,401
for that senate seat
that's coming free next year.
301
00:22:25,478 --> 00:22:29,039
Yeah. And if she does decide to run,
302
00:22:29,115 --> 00:22:33,643
maybe this E.P.F.
Wants some dirt to head her off, so he hires us to scrape it up.
303
00:22:33,719 --> 00:22:36,381
Harry. Oh, excuse me.
304
00:22:36,455 --> 00:22:38,753
Hi, Ray. Have you met
Mrs. Fletcher? No.
305
00:22:38,824 --> 00:22:41,088
Ray Kravitz.
It's a pleasure, ma'am.
306
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:45,790
How do you do, Mr. Kravitz?
I got some figures on the Santini company bank accounts.
307
00:22:45,865 --> 00:22:50,461
A lot of cash withdrawals
in the last couple of months. They total $85,000.
308
00:22:50,536 --> 00:22:54,267
[Whistles]
This dame's really got Santini on a roller coaster.
309
00:22:54,340 --> 00:22:57,639
- That's the other case.
- Oh, yes, the unfaithful husband.
310
00:22:57,710 --> 00:23:01,407
Harry, we gotta do something
and add another guy to this.
311
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:05,280
Between the two of us, we haven't
been able to track down Santini's girl.
312
00:23:05,351 --> 00:23:08,479
We gotta get sleep sometime.
Run a check on his charge accounts, Ray.
313
00:23:08,554 --> 00:23:11,489
If that doesn't work,
we'll try another angle.
314
00:23:11,557 --> 00:23:14,685
Yeah, sure. What the hell.
Who needs sleep?
315
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:16,819
Nice to meet you.
316
00:23:16,896 --> 00:23:20,229
Mr. McGraw, may...
may I make a suggestion?
317
00:23:20,299 --> 00:23:25,236
- Why should you stop now?
- That tape of Archie's death...
318
00:23:25,304 --> 00:23:29,001
You know, he gasped something
just as he was shot.
319
00:23:29,074 --> 00:23:33,408
Now, maybe it wasn't just a gasp.
Maybe he was trying to say something.
320
00:23:33,479 --> 00:23:36,642
You know, an audio technician
could analyze the tape...
321
00:23:36,715 --> 00:23:40,913
Mrs. Fletcher, I'm not much
for this scientific shinola.
322
00:23:40,986 --> 00:23:44,478
I mean, all right.
Maybe I'm hung up right now, but I'm gonna get this guy.
323
00:23:44,557 --> 00:23:47,617
You're just along for the ride
because I dealt you in.
324
00:23:47,693 --> 00:23:50,321
But don't tell me how to operate.
325
00:23:55,701 --> 00:23:58,636
##[Piano]
326
00:23:58,704 --> 00:24:01,605
[Chattering]
327
00:24:13,519 --> 00:24:17,011
I'll tell you a secret, Jessica.
I'm still in love with the woman.
328
00:24:17,089 --> 00:24:21,025
Always will be. That's why we've
enjoyed such a marvelous divorce.
329
00:24:21,093 --> 00:24:24,551
Well, I must admit your relationship
with Priscilla is... unique.
330
00:24:24,630 --> 00:24:29,260
Well, I'm wedded to the halls of ivy.
She's totally committed to the magazine.
331
00:24:29,335 --> 00:24:32,304
Careers apart.
I'm afraid there's no in-between.
332
00:24:32,371 --> 00:24:36,205
Funny. I'd heard...
oh, perhaps it was just a rumor...
333
00:24:36,275 --> 00:24:38,869
that she was thinking
of running for public office.
334
00:24:38,944 --> 00:24:42,209
Really? First I've heard of it.
335
00:24:42,281 --> 00:24:44,943
Priscilla.
Carter, you old fox.
336
00:24:45,017 --> 00:24:47,349
I thought you were going out of town.
337
00:24:47,419 --> 00:24:51,082
What? And miss this gala
celebration? Not a chance.
338
00:24:51,156 --> 00:24:53,522
Congratulations.
Thank you.
339
00:24:53,592 --> 00:24:56,459
Come over here.
I want you to meet somebody.
340
00:24:56,529 --> 00:25:01,262
Jessica, I'd like you to meet
an old and dear friend of mine, Judge Carter Lambert.
341
00:25:01,333 --> 00:25:04,496
Oh, yes. The writer.
So nice to meet you.
342
00:25:04,570 --> 00:25:09,303
You can't imagine how much
I've wanted to meet
you, Judge Lambert.
343
00:25:09,375 --> 00:25:13,106
Oh, excuse me.
More company. Gavin.
344
00:25:15,147 --> 00:25:18,082
It seems to me I've received
a couple of letters from you.
345
00:25:18,150 --> 00:25:20,550
And several unreturned phone calls.
346
00:25:20,619 --> 00:25:24,646
As defense attorney
in the Danbury Scalpel Murder trial,
347
00:25:24,723 --> 00:25:27,419
you're one of the few people still alive...
348
00:25:27,493 --> 00:25:30,951
who can give me some
firsthand insight into that case.
349
00:25:31,030 --> 00:25:33,760
Mrs. Fletcher, I'll tell you
what I told your private detective.
350
00:25:33,832 --> 00:25:36,960
- That case is best forgotten.
- That's surprising, Judge.
351
00:25:37,036 --> 00:25:39,937
It's one of your best moments
as a trial lawyer.
352
00:25:40,005 --> 00:25:44,066
You secured the acquittal
of a very prominent physician.
353
00:25:44,143 --> 00:25:48,580
While the world whispered
about perjured testimony and manufactured evidence.
354
00:25:48,647 --> 00:25:52,105
I'm sorry, dear lady.
That chapter of my life is closed.
355
00:25:52,184 --> 00:25:55,153
Let me add this. If you go ahead
with this book of yours,
356
00:25:55,220 --> 00:25:58,587
be sure you clearly understand
our libel laws.
357
00:26:00,726 --> 00:26:02,421
Excuse me.
358
00:26:06,865 --> 00:26:10,357
What was all that about?
Drawn swords?
359
00:26:10,436 --> 00:26:13,803
I'm afraid so. I'm researching
a 25-year-old murder...
360
00:26:13,872 --> 00:26:15,806
that the judge was involved with.
361
00:26:15,874 --> 00:26:19,503
He's not happy with the detective
that I hired to contact him.
362
00:26:19,578 --> 00:26:22,308
Priscilla, that detective,
363
00:26:22,381 --> 00:26:27,114
before he died last Friday,
was also investigating you.
364
00:26:27,186 --> 00:26:28,983
Me?
365
00:26:29,054 --> 00:26:31,682
Not on my behalf.
For someone else.
366
00:26:31,757 --> 00:26:33,987
Really?
I was wondering,
367
00:26:34,059 --> 00:26:36,619
could he have been hired by someone...
368
00:26:36,695 --> 00:26:41,064
who might wish to thwart
your political ambitions?
369
00:26:41,133 --> 00:26:45,593
I'm sorry, Jessica. I don't know anything
about your murdered detective.
370
00:26:45,671 --> 00:26:49,539
And as for politics, any rumors
you may have heard are simply that.
371
00:26:49,608 --> 00:26:52,771
Yes, of course.
Just one more thing, Priscilla.
372
00:26:52,845 --> 00:26:56,178
I merely said the detective died.
373
00:26:56,248 --> 00:26:59,684
I said nothing about murder.
374
00:27:09,662 --> 00:27:12,597
Good morning.
Hi, Mrs. Fletcher.
375
00:27:12,665 --> 00:27:16,328
Oh, please don't get up, Mr. Kravitz.
Is Mr. McGraw in?
376
00:27:16,402 --> 00:27:19,701
Oh, he's here,
but you can't see him. Oh. Is someone with him?
377
00:27:19,772 --> 00:27:22,707
Uh-uh. He just
doesn't want to be disturbed.
378
00:27:22,775 --> 00:27:25,642
Oh, I'm sorry, but I'm afraid
we've got work to do.
379
00:27:25,711 --> 00:27:28,043
Mrs. Fletcher?
380
00:27:28,113 --> 00:27:31,879
You don't mind if I sleep
while you talk, do you, Mrs. Fletcher?
381
00:27:31,950 --> 00:27:35,886
I thought you might be interested
in knowing who hired you to investigate Priscilla Daniels.
382
00:27:35,954 --> 00:27:39,014
Yeah? Who?
383
00:27:39,091 --> 00:27:41,491
Priscilla Daniels.
384
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:43,994
And what led you
to that brilliant deduction?
385
00:27:44,063 --> 00:27:49,023
Despite transparent pretense
to the contrary, she knew Archie Miles.
386
00:27:49,101 --> 00:27:51,899
So she knew him?
387
00:27:51,970 --> 00:27:54,370
You client wanted to remain anonymous,
388
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:58,376
so Archie used a code...
the initials E.P.F.
389
00:27:58,444 --> 00:28:01,242
Now, I don't think they represent
a name, Mr. McGraw.
390
00:28:01,313 --> 00:28:06,012
I think they stand for
Editor and Publisher of
Femininity.
391
00:28:06,085 --> 00:28:08,383
Mrs. Daniels has political ambitions.
392
00:28:08,454 --> 00:28:10,581
Now, supposing
she had something in her past...
393
00:28:10,656 --> 00:28:13,056
something that she was afraid
might come out in a campaign.
394
00:28:13,125 --> 00:28:15,059
Skeletons in the basement.
395
00:28:15,127 --> 00:28:17,755
So she hires us to find out
how deep they're buried,
396
00:28:17,830 --> 00:28:20,230
figuring if we don't find 'em,
nobody else will.
397
00:28:20,299 --> 00:28:23,200
Of course, even if she hired your partner,
it doesn't mean that she killed him.
398
00:28:23,268 --> 00:28:26,726
Unless Archie found the bones...
whatever it was she was tryin' to hide.
399
00:28:26,805 --> 00:28:31,105
Maybe he confronted her with it.
But if he discovered something, why wasn't it in the file?
400
00:28:31,176 --> 00:28:33,974
Not if he didn't have time
to write it down.
401
00:28:34,046 --> 00:28:37,743
Archie spent a few days
in that little college town where she was married to that professor.
402
00:28:37,816 --> 00:28:40,546
Maybe he came up with something
that goes way back.
403
00:28:40,619 --> 00:28:43,611
And speaking of way back,
I ran into a new lead last night.
404
00:28:43,689 --> 00:28:45,919
I met somebody
who has something to hide.
405
00:28:45,991 --> 00:28:50,291
The Danbury Scalpel Murder
may not be as dead as we thought.
406
00:28:50,362 --> 00:28:53,229
All right, Jessica.
You track down your lead,
407
00:28:53,298 --> 00:28:55,823
and I'll trace Archie's footprints
around that college.
408
00:28:55,901 --> 00:28:58,563
Maybe one of us will get lucky.
409
00:28:58,637 --> 00:29:01,834
[Dog Barking]
I'd offer you coffee, Mrs. Fletcher,
410
00:29:01,907 --> 00:29:04,273
but I've already packed away
the coffeemaker.
411
00:29:04,343 --> 00:29:08,040
Oh, I'm fine. Now, you're sure
there's nothing I can do to help?
412
00:29:08,113 --> 00:29:11,674
Oh, thanks, but no. I'll be staying
with my sister in Hartford.
413
00:29:11,750 --> 00:29:14,412
Just till I get my bearings.
414
00:29:14,486 --> 00:29:18,013
Look. I'm sorry
about my rudeness the other day.
415
00:29:18,090 --> 00:29:22,356
Please. I understand.
Believe me.
416
00:29:22,427 --> 00:29:27,126
You asked me about a town
in Vermont. Then Archie did tell you something.
417
00:29:27,199 --> 00:29:30,259
No, but I found this
tucked in his jacket pocket.
418
00:29:30,335 --> 00:29:32,929
"Sudberry, Cargill."
419
00:29:33,005 --> 00:29:35,940
Does it mean anything?
I don't know.
420
00:29:36,008 --> 00:29:39,774
He was tracking down
some woman named Martha Clay.
421
00:29:39,845 --> 00:29:43,281
You know, if someone
did kill Archie because of this,
422
00:29:43,348 --> 00:29:46,511
I'm not doing you any favors
by giving it to you.
423
00:29:46,585 --> 00:29:49,816
Thank you, Mrs. Miles.
I'll be very careful. Promise.

Now, don't you worry about it, Mrs. Perkins.
425
00:30:05,537 --> 00:30:08,404
You have Roy Brown
down at the garage come look at it,
426
00:30:08,473 --> 00:30:11,169
and we should have it fixed
for you in a jiffy.
427
00:30:11,243 --> 00:30:13,871

to call him for you.

00:30:23,422 --> 00:30:26,414
- That's right.
- My name is Jessica Fletcher.
433
00:30:26,491 --> 00:30:30,188
I'm a writer, and I'm looking into a story
that happened many, many years ago.
434
00:30:30,262 --> 00:30:34,596
I wondered if you might have known
a woman named Martha Clay.
435
00:30:34,666 --> 00:30:36,600
No. I'm sorry.
436
00:30:36,668 --> 00:30:40,195
She'd be about 60 by now,
perhaps using another name.
437
00:30:40,272 --> 00:30:45,471
I said I don't know her!
And I would appreciate it if you would just leave me alone!
438
00:30:45,544 --> 00:30:47,808
What's going on here?
439
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,474
Oh, I'm so sorry.
I didn't want to upset her.
440
00:30:50,549 --> 00:30:53,712
I'm researching a story,
and I merely wanted to ask her a couple of questions.
441
00:30:53,785 --> 00:30:56,913
- I'm Milt Sudberry.
- Jessica Fletcher.
442

You'll have to forgive Leora, ma'am.
She just lost both her parents a month ago.
443
00:31:00,759 --> 00:31:04,024
Oh, dear.
It'll take her some time to get over it.
444
00:31:04,096 --> 00:31:07,793
They died in a fire...both of them.
Fine folks, the Cargills.
445
00:31:07,866 --> 00:31:10,164
They ran a nursing home
just outside of town here.
446
00:31:10,235 --> 00:31:13,136
They've been in Sheffield
about 25 years.
447
00:31:13,205 --> 00:31:17,369
They died trying to save the others.
Lots of'em in beds and wheelchairs.

Oh, I'm very sorry.
This Mrs. Cargill...
449
00:31:21,413 --> 00:31:24,109
Her name wasn't by any chance
Martha, was it?
450
00:31:24,182 --> 00:31:27,913
- Matter of fact, it was.
- I see.
451
00:31:27,986 --> 00:31:30,045
- Well, thank you, Mr. Sudberry.
- Mm-hmm.

Mrs. Fletcher.
454
00:31:39,932 --> 00:31:42,662
What a surprise
finding you here. Or is it?
455
00:31:42,734 --> 00:31:47,671
The clerk at your hotel said
you were asking about buses to Vermont. I put two and two together.
456
00:31:47,739 --> 00:31:50,264
I was afraid
you wouldn't leave this alone.

00:31:50,342 --> 00:31:54,278
It's not my nature
to leave things undone, Judge. So I notice.
458
00:31:54,346 --> 00:31:58,680
All right. I'll drive you
back to Boston.
459

On the way, I'll tell you the whole story

maybe it's best...

00:32:57,509 --> 00:33:00,967
Sorry. I forgot. Alma always
flips the lock when she leaves.
472
00:33:01,046 --> 00:33:05,005
I'm glad you're here.
Hey, it's 10:30, Mrs. Fletcher. You on to something new?
473
00:33:05,083 --> 00:33:10,020
In a way. I think that we can forget
the Danbury Scalpel Murder...
474
00:33:10,088 --> 00:33:12,818
as the motive for Archie Miles's death.
475
00:33:12,891 --> 00:33:15,758
The doctor on the trial was innocent.
476
00:33:15,827 --> 00:33:18,591
The victim was killed
by a man named Tom Cargill.
477
00:33:18,663 --> 00:33:22,827
Now, he happened to be at the hospital
that night visiting his girlfriend,
478
00:33:22,901 --> 00:33:25,165
the floor nurse, Martha Clay.
479
00:33:25,237 --> 00:33:29,173
Cargill recognized the victim as the man
who'd raped his sister the year before...
480
00:33:29,241 --> 00:33:31,300
but was acquitted on a technicality.
481
00:33:31,376 --> 00:33:33,708
The sister committed suicide
a couple of months later.
482
00:33:33,779 --> 00:33:37,647
When Cargill saw the rapist,
something snapped.
483
00:33:37,716 --> 00:33:39,775
He stabbed him with a scalpel.
484
00:33:39,851 --> 00:33:42,752
But circumstantial evidence
led to the arrest of the physician.
485
00:33:42,821 --> 00:33:45,289
Yeah, but how did Judge Lambert
know all this?
486
00:33:45,357 --> 00:33:47,257
Tom Cargill told him.
487
00:33:47,325 --> 00:33:50,260
During the war,
Tom had saved thejudge's life.
488
00:33:50,328 --> 00:33:52,796
Lambert found himself
in a terrible quandary.
489
00:33:52,864 --> 00:33:56,425
That's why he wangled himself
on to the physician's defense team...
490
00:33:56,501 --> 00:33:58,560
and why he faked the evidence
to get the acquittal.
491
00:33:58,637 --> 00:34:03,006
- All's fair?
- Well, in this case, perhaps so.
492
00:34:03,075 --> 00:34:05,703
Strange talk
for a straight arrow like you.
493
00:34:05,777 --> 00:34:08,302
Or maybe you got
two different sets of standards.
494
00:34:08,380 --> 00:34:10,644
I mean, it's okay for Cargill
to murder the rapist,
495
00:34:10,715 --> 00:34:13,741
but it's wrong for me to eliminate
the character that killed Archie.
496
00:34:13,819 --> 00:34:16,720
I don't condone murder, Mr. McGraw.
But more to the point,
497
00:34:16,788 --> 00:34:19,256
they are now dead, beyond punishment.
498
00:34:19,324 --> 00:34:24,489
Now, Archie's killer isn't,
and he is still entitled to a trial.
499
00:34:24,563 --> 00:34:28,226
Even if he or she
hires a lawyer like Lambert...
500
00:34:28,300 --> 00:34:30,791
who might mess with the evidence
to get an acquittal?
501
00:34:30,869 --> 00:34:34,396
Oh, and speaking of"she,"
I don't suppose you caught Priscilla Daniels's press conference.
502
00:34:34,473 --> 00:34:35,838
No.
503
00:34:35,907 --> 00:34:37,841
She came on the tube around 6:00...
504
00:34:37,909 --> 00:34:41,675
to deny all rumors that she's
running for any political office.
505
00:34:41,746 --> 00:34:44,237
- Really?
-
[Phone Ringing]
506
00:34:44,316 --> 00:34:47,843
McGraw. What?
507
00:34:47,919 --> 00:34:50,353
Yeah, I'll be right over.
508
00:34:50,422 --> 00:34:53,118
- What is it?
- Ray Kravitz.
509
00:34:53,191 --> 00:34:56,752
He was watching Santini's place,
and somebody tried to blow him away.
510
00:35:00,165 --> 00:35:02,861
[Starkey]
What the hell are you doing down there? Playing cribbage?
511
00:35:02,934 --> 00:35:07,200
I want a yes or a no, and I want it now.
Call me when you got it.
512
00:35:07,272 --> 00:35:10,002
Ray, you okay?
I'm okay, Harry.
513
00:35:10,075 --> 00:35:14,444
Well, what happened?
I was parked right in front of Santini's construction office.
514
00:35:14,513 --> 00:35:18,472
Next thing I know,
a car comes down the street, comes right up in front of me.
515
00:35:18,550 --> 00:35:22,782
A guy gets out. He walks up to me.
I can't see his face. His headlights are right in my eyes.
516
00:35:22,854 --> 00:35:26,153
His arm comes up in a certain way.
I know it's gonna be trouble.
517
00:35:26,224 --> 00:35:31,025
Just as I duck down, he fires two shots
right through the windshield, and then he took off.
518
00:35:31,096 --> 00:35:35,226
- Could it have been Santini?
- I was sure Santini was still in his office.
519
00:35:35,300 --> 00:35:38,531
Well, when we checked it out,
Santini's car was parked outside.
520
00:35:38,603 --> 00:35:42,835
The lights were on inside the office,
but a little rear window was wide open.
521
00:35:42,908 --> 00:35:45,843
Santini could have sneaked out anytime.
522
00:35:45,911 --> 00:35:49,472
Excuse me, Mr. Kravitz. You say
you couldn't see who your attacker was?
523
00:35:49,548 --> 00:35:51,482
I didn't see anything!
[McGraw] Come on, Ray.
524
00:35:51,550 --> 00:35:54,576
Somebody tries to blow you away,
and you go blind? How big was the guy?
525
00:35:54,653 --> 00:35:57,178
What kind of a car was it?
You must have seen something.
526
00:35:57,255 --> 00:35:59,587
- Harry, I'm tryin' to stay alive.
Do you mind? - [Phone Rings]
527
00:35:59,658 --> 00:36:02,218
Starkey. Yeah, Tony.
528
00:36:02,294 --> 00:36:04,558
Are you sure?
529
00:36:04,629 --> 00:36:06,859
All right.
530
00:36:06,932 --> 00:36:11,232
Ballistics just dug two slugs
from a.45 out of Ray's front seat.
531
00:36:11,303 --> 00:36:16,036
They match the slugs
that killed Archie. Yeah. Who didn't know that?
532
00:36:16,107 --> 00:36:21,067
Harry, don't do something stupid.
Is that official or just a piece of friendly advice?
533
00:36:21,146 --> 00:36:24,604
- Both.
- Well, you know me, Starkey.
534
00:36:24,683 --> 00:36:28,585
I never shot a rattlesnake
that didn't bite me first.
535
00:36:34,492 --> 00:36:38,019
Don't worry about Harry,
Mrs. Fletcher.
536
00:36:38,096 --> 00:36:40,860
If Santini can be found,
he'll find him.
537
00:36:40,932 --> 00:36:42,991
That's what I'm afraid of.
538
00:36:43,068 --> 00:36:47,698
Mr. Kravitz, something is bothering me.
I'd like to recheck those files.
539
00:36:47,772 --> 00:36:51,264
Would you mind
taking me back to the office? No, ma'am. I'll call Alma.
540
00:36:51,343 --> 00:36:53,743
Anything you need,
she knows where it is.
541
00:37:02,153 --> 00:37:04,451
She's not here yet.
542
00:37:28,113 --> 00:37:32,049
Which file do you want,
Mrs. Fletcher? All three.
543
00:37:32,117 --> 00:37:36,076
Do you know
what you're lookin' for? Well, no, not specifically.
544
00:37:36,154 --> 00:37:39,851
Hello, Ray.
Ray, are you okay? Yeah, I'm fine.
545
00:37:39,924 --> 00:37:43,087
Listen. I'm gonna go out
and see if I can catch up with Harry.
546
00:37:43,161 --> 00:37:46,130
- You gonna be all right, Mrs. Fletcher?
- Oh, I'm fine, Ray. Thank you.
547
00:37:48,867 --> 00:37:52,428
Alma, anything she needs...
Okay. Don't worry, Ray.
548
00:37:52,504 --> 00:37:56,770
How about if I put on
some coffee, Mrs. Fletcher?
549
00:37:56,841 --> 00:37:59,435
Oh, that would be very nice,
Alma. Thank you.
550
00:38:15,393 --> 00:38:18,920
Alma... You can forget
the coffee for me, Alma.
551
00:38:18,997 --> 00:38:22,763
But, Mrs. Fletcher...
I may be back. I'm not sure.
552
00:38:25,203 --> 00:38:27,637
I didn't know this was
going to be an inquisition.
553
00:38:27,706 --> 00:38:30,197
I'm sorry, Priscilla. I'm trying
to prevent another killing.
554
00:38:30,275 --> 00:38:33,369
I want to know
why you changed your mind about running for political office.
555
00:38:33,445 --> 00:38:35,470
I don't know what you're talking about.
556
00:38:35,547 --> 00:38:40,075
Was it something that Mr. Miles
picked up in the investigation he was conducting on your behalf?
557
00:38:40,151 --> 00:38:44,144
That's absurd.
Please, Priscilla. There just isn't any time.
558
00:38:44,222 --> 00:38:47,385
Something was ripped
out of the detective agency's files,
559
00:38:47,459 --> 00:38:50,189
and suddenly you decide
not to seek office.
560
00:38:50,261 --> 00:38:52,559
Now, I am sure that
there is some connection.
561
00:38:52,630 --> 00:38:56,225
Have you within the last 24 hours
received a blackmail threat?
562
00:38:56,301 --> 00:38:58,235
Yes, Mrs. Fletcher, she has.
563
00:38:58,303 --> 00:39:00,737
Gavin...
Priscilla, a man has been murdered.
564
00:39:00,805 --> 00:39:03,501
Besides, none of it will remain
a secret much longer.
565
00:39:05,176 --> 00:39:07,144
All right.
566
00:39:07,212 --> 00:39:10,545
Seventeen years ago, Priscilla
became pregnant with my child.
567
00:39:10,615 --> 00:39:13,345
She was a grad student.
I was a young professor.
568
00:39:13,418 --> 00:39:15,409
I was also married
to another woman.
569
00:39:18,123 --> 00:39:22,583
Priscilla chose to have an abortion.
Later, after my divorce, we were married.
570
00:39:22,660 --> 00:39:26,562
But by then it was too late. Complications
associated with the abortion...
571
00:39:26,631 --> 00:39:29,464
made it impossible for her
ever to bear another child.
572
00:39:29,534 --> 00:39:33,095
Even though I traveled out of the state,
Mr. Miles discovered our secret.
573
00:39:33,171 --> 00:39:37,870
Yes, I did hire him, Jessica,
for that very reason.
574
00:39:37,942 --> 00:39:41,503
In this day and age, no woman
can run for public office...
575
00:39:41,579 --> 00:39:43,740
with abortion hanging over her head.
576
00:39:43,815 --> 00:39:46,375
And the blackmail threat?
577
00:39:46,451 --> 00:39:49,818
I received a call early this morning.
A man. He didn't identify himself.
578
00:39:49,888 --> 00:39:53,654
He said he had a copy
of the hospital records...
579
00:39:53,725 --> 00:39:56,626
and wanted a quarter of a million
dollars to keep quiet.
580
00:39:56,694 --> 00:39:58,958
So l...
581
00:39:59,030 --> 00:40:03,262
Gavin and I decided
that the best thing for me to do...
582
00:40:03,334 --> 00:40:07,270
would be to drop out of the race
and to make a clean breast of my past.
583
00:40:07,338 --> 00:40:09,499
I think that was very wise.
584
00:40:09,574 --> 00:40:13,977
Mrs. Fletcher, one thing puzzles me.
This detective was killed over a week ago,
585
00:40:14,045 --> 00:40:16,513
yet the first blackmail call
came only this morning.
586
00:40:16,581 --> 00:40:20,984
Which means that a third party
has belatedly surfaced, Mr. Daniels,
587
00:40:21,052 --> 00:40:24,146
and I'm quite sure it's the same person
who killed Archie Miles.
588
00:40:39,003 --> 00:40:42,302
Oh, Lieutenant, l...
I wanted to talk to you.
589
00:40:42,373 --> 00:40:46,002
Could it wait, Mrs. Fletcher?
I'm dead beat, and I'm going home.
590
00:40:46,077 --> 00:40:49,877
Oh, I'm sure you're very tired,
and so am I.
[Tires Screeching]
591
00:41:06,764 --> 00:41:10,359
- Harry?
- You know this guy?
592
00:41:10,435 --> 00:41:13,632
- Yeah, I know him. And who are you?
- My name is Santini,
593
00:41:13,705 --> 00:41:18,142
and I'm pressing assault charges
against this gum ball.
594
00:41:21,980 --> 00:41:24,847
This creep...
or one of his pals...
595
00:41:24,916 --> 00:41:27,749
has been tailing me
for the past couple of weeks.
596
00:41:27,819 --> 00:41:31,152
I thought maybe it was union guys
or a competitor.
597
00:41:31,222 --> 00:41:35,716
Then tonight, my wife tells me
that she hired these bozos, like I was fooling around or something.
598
00:41:35,793 --> 00:41:39,854
Well, you must admit, Mr. Santini,
you've been disappearing a lot every evening.
599
00:41:39,931 --> 00:41:42,900
I mean, it's only natural that
your wife would be concerned.
600
00:41:42,967 --> 00:41:46,926
My wife is a certifiable hysteric
who falls apart if the morning newspaper comes late.
601
00:41:47,005 --> 00:41:50,497
She likes things neat and predictable...
a place for everything, everything in its place.
602
00:41:50,575 --> 00:41:53,908
- Including you?
- It so happens, buster,
603
00:41:53,978 --> 00:41:56,845
that I've been married almost 20 years,
and I'm still crazy about that woman.
604
00:41:56,915 --> 00:41:59,281
Which is why you've been
sneakin' around at night, right?
605
00:41:59,350 --> 00:42:03,446
Hey, potato face, you wanna know
where I've been? I'll tell ya.
606
00:42:03,521 --> 00:42:06,888
Three years ago, we had this sailboat
down at the marina.
607
00:42:06,958 --> 00:42:11,452
Got destroyed in a storm,
so I figured I'd surprise the old lady for our 20th anniversary.
608
00:42:11,529 --> 00:42:15,465
I've been working almost every night
with this boat guy to build a duplicate.
609
00:42:15,533 --> 00:42:17,467
It's supposed to be a surprise.
Understand?
610
00:42:17,535 --> 00:42:20,197
I tried to tell you, only you
were too busy swingin'to listen.
611
00:42:20,271 --> 00:42:22,466
This boatbuilder...
Does he have a name?
612
00:42:22,540 --> 00:42:25,475
Shelley Dinsmann.
He's in the book.
613
00:42:25,543 --> 00:42:28,307
Okay, Mr. Santini. You can go.
614
00:42:28,379 --> 00:42:33,407
Listen. The boat...
It's still gonna be a surprise. You understand, Jack?
615
00:42:38,523 --> 00:42:42,755
Harry, your eye looks terrible.
He caught me when I wasn't lookin'.
616
00:42:42,827 --> 00:42:47,958
Did anyone notice that we just lost
our best suspect in Archie's murder?
617
00:42:48,032 --> 00:42:51,160
Lieutenant, I started to tell you
I do have an idea.
618
00:42:51,235 --> 00:42:53,999
Harry, I'm afraid I'm gonna
have to go back up to the office,
619
00:42:54,072 --> 00:42:56,768
and I'm sure that
Alma will have left.
620
00:42:56,841 --> 00:42:59,105
May I borrow your keys?
Oh, come on, Jessica.
621
00:42:59,177 --> 00:43:01,372
Please. It's important.
622
00:43:02,981 --> 00:43:05,472
I think I do have the answer,
623
00:43:05,550 --> 00:43:07,916
but I'm gonna need
a little help to prove it.
624
00:43:07,986 --> 00:43:11,251
[Traffic Noises]
625
00:43:15,193 --> 00:43:18,185
[Keys, Doorknob Jangling]
626
00:43:20,031 --> 00:43:23,865
Hello? Is that you, Mr. Kravitz?
627
00:43:23,935 --> 00:43:26,870
Sorry. I must have locked
the door on you.
628
00:43:26,938 --> 00:43:29,668
That's okay. I got my key.
What's goin' on?
629
00:43:29,741 --> 00:43:33,177
I came as soon as I could. You said
something happened to Harry?
630
00:43:33,244 --> 00:43:35,872
Yes. He got into a terrible brawl
with that Mr. Santini.
631
00:43:35,947 --> 00:43:39,678
Oh, he found him, did he?
I thought he would.
632
00:43:39,751 --> 00:43:43,346
- He didn't kill him, did he?
- No. Mr. Santini is just fine.
633
00:43:43,421 --> 00:43:47,915
He's also been cleared
of responsibility in Mr. Miles's death.
634
00:43:47,992 --> 00:43:52,486
Is that so? Somebody else must have
tried to ace me tonight then.
635
00:43:52,563 --> 00:43:55,964
No, Mr. Kravitz.
Nobody tried to ace you tonight.
636
00:43:56,034 --> 00:43:59,731
That so-called attack
was staged by you...
637
00:43:59,804 --> 00:44:02,671
to divert suspicion onto Mr. Santini...
638
00:44:02,740 --> 00:44:05,334
and away from Mrs. Daniels.
639
00:44:05,410 --> 00:44:07,674
What are you talking about?
640
00:44:07,745 --> 00:44:10,737
You fired those shots
through the car windshield.
641
00:44:10,815 --> 00:44:14,080
You also fired the shots
that killed Archie Miles.
642
00:44:14,152 --> 00:44:16,848
Come on, lady. You been smokin'
funny cigarettes or something?
643
00:44:16,921 --> 00:44:21,415
You killed Mr. Miles because he'd
stumbled on to Priscilla's long-ago abortion,
644
00:44:21,492 --> 00:44:26,225
which, considering her political ambition,
was made-to-order for blackmail.
645
00:44:26,297 --> 00:44:30,927
But, of course, Archie
would never have permitted that, which is why you had to kill him.
646
00:44:31,002 --> 00:44:33,368
I suppose you can prove all this.
647
00:44:33,438 --> 00:44:36,066
When I was going through
the Daniels file,
648
00:44:36,140 --> 00:44:38,836
I realized one of the papers
had been hurriedly removed.
649
00:44:38,910 --> 00:44:43,279
In ripping out the sheet of paper,
you know, you left a tiny fragment behind.
650
00:44:43,347 --> 00:44:49,013
Priscilla told me, early this morning
a man had called demanding money.
651
00:44:49,087 --> 00:44:53,285
[Chuckles]
That doesn't mean it was me. Could have been anybody, even Harry.
652
00:44:53,357 --> 00:44:56,690
Harry was in Tulsa
when his partner was killed.
653
00:44:56,761 --> 00:44:59,662
No, it was you, Mr. Kravitz,
654
00:44:59,731 --> 00:45:02,632
and the evidence is on that tape.
655
00:45:02,700 --> 00:45:05,294
What tape?
This one.
656
00:45:05,369 --> 00:45:09,362
I had this machine running
when you entered the outer office a few moments ago. Listen.
657
00:45:12,043 --> 00:45:15,843
[Keys, Doorknob Jangling]
658
00:45:15,913 --> 00:45:18,780
[Jessica On Tape]
Hello?
659
00:45:18,850 --> 00:45:22,752
Is that you, Mr. Kravitz? Sorry.
I must have locked the door on you.
660
00:45:22,820 --> 00:45:25,288
[Kravitz]
That's o...
661
00:45:25,356 --> 00:45:28,553
So?
You must have heard that.
662
00:45:28,626 --> 00:45:32,062
Thejangle of those keys on your
key chain. A very distinctive sound.
663
00:45:40,838 --> 00:45:45,275
[Miles On Tape]
Regarding search for principals involved in the Danbury Scalpel Murder.
664
00:45:45,343 --> 00:45:48,312
[Keys Jangling]
665
00:45:48,379 --> 00:45:52,611
[Miles]
Who's there? Alma, is that you?
666
00:45:52,683 --> 00:45:55,277
I'm sure you heard that sound too.
667
00:45:55,353 --> 00:45:59,585
That, too, was the sound
of your key chain.
668
00:45:59,657 --> 00:46:01,921
You see, when Alma left,
she locked the door.
669
00:46:01,993 --> 00:46:04,723
Harry said she always locked up
when she left.
670
00:46:04,796 --> 00:46:09,460
So you had to unlock the door to get in.
It could only have been someone with a key...
671
00:46:09,534 --> 00:46:13,994
and someone whose keys
would have made that sound.
672
00:46:14,071 --> 00:46:18,405
You're a clever lady,
but you're also pretty dumb.
673
00:46:18,476 --> 00:46:23,209
You're not so smart yourself, Ray.
Go ahead. Just twitch.
674
00:46:25,750 --> 00:46:30,619
Harry, for God's sake,
I'm layin' it down.
675
00:46:32,156 --> 00:46:34,784
Don't shoot.
676
00:46:37,128 --> 00:46:39,961
You better pray
you get convicted, Ray,
677
00:46:40,031 --> 00:46:43,057
'cause that's the only way
you're gonna see your next birthday.
678
00:46:51,042 --> 00:46:55,411
Look. I appreciate you
driving me to the bus terminal, but I could have taken a cab.
679
00:46:55,479 --> 00:46:58,073
But terminal? You're gettin'
curb service to Cabot Cove.
680
00:46:58,149 --> 00:47:00,947
Oh, no, that's not necessary.
Listen, Jessie.
681
00:47:01,018 --> 00:47:05,148
I think it's time you stopped screwin'
around with all these stupid books and got to work.
682
00:47:05,223 --> 00:47:07,248
Life's a circus. You understand?
683
00:47:07,325 --> 00:47:10,624
Now, some people, they see the tents,
and they just drive by.
684
00:47:10,695 --> 00:47:14,256
Other people are in there
walkin' on the high wire. That's me.
685
00:47:14,332 --> 00:47:18,325
All I'm sayin' is,
don't sit back and watch. Jump in.
686
00:47:18,402 --> 00:47:20,700
Harry, I do believe
you're offering me a job.
687
00:47:20,771 --> 00:47:25,037
McGraw & Fletcher.
Your brains, my knuckles.
688
00:47:25,109 --> 00:47:28,340
Yeah, that's nice,
but, no, thanks.
689
00:47:28,412 --> 00:47:32,178
Yeah, that's what you say now,
but it's 124 miles to Cabot Cove,
690
00:47:32,250 --> 00:47:34,718
and I can be very persuasive.
691
00:47:34,785 --> 00:47:36,946
[Laughs]
