When I said that it was
a pleasure meeting you,
3
00:00:07,375 --> 00:00:09,570
it is just possiblethat I spoke in haste.
4
00:00:09,644 --> 00:00:13,273
- You'll get my land over my dead body.
- This is my town!

00:00:13,348 --> 00:00:16,749
It appears that this man
does indeed own Cabot Cove.

When you said you were
researching your heritage,
7
00:00:19,387 --> 00:00:20,979
this is what you were after.
No!
8
00:00:21,056 --> 00:00:23,354
A man is dead.
Another man is being hunted.
9
00:00:23,425 --> 00:00:26,053

is teetering on a tightrope.

as I stand before you
on this special day...

the long and glorious past...

of this great town of ours.
21
00:02:41,930 --> 00:02:45,229
Speaking of long,
I expect we're in for all of it, year-by-year.
22
00:02:45,300 --> 00:02:48,269
Why, I can remember
when I was a small boy,
23
00:02:48,336 --> 00:02:50,804
standing right down there-
Hey, look! Look what's coming!
24
00:02:50,872 --> 00:02:53,602
- Look! Look!

It seems to be a-
a message of some sort. Sure does.
32
00:03:32,747 --> 00:03:35,147
Message?
What message? Oh, dear.
33
00:03:35,216 --> 00:03:37,616
- What is it, Miss Fletcher?
- What's in that note, Mayor?
34
00:03:37,686 --> 00:03:40,154
[Man]Yeah, read it to us. Oh, it's, uh, nothin', friends.

00:04:14,589 --> 00:04:18,389
[Sam]It's hogwash. Look at this thing.It was run off on a copying machine.
45
00:04:18,460 --> 00:04:21,861
Well, you could hardly expect
him to gave up the original now, could ya?
46
00:04:21,930 --> 00:04:24,023
- Oh.
- Yep.
47
00:04:24,099 --> 00:04:27,296

Hmm.

Oh, come on now, Doc. It ain't funny.

You don't notice me laughin',
do ya, Amos?
57
00:04:57,532 --> 00:05:00,023
It's a joke. It's somebody's idea
of a joke, that's all.
58
00:05:00,101 --> 00:05:02,092
Mmm, I'm not so sure, Sam.
59
00:05:02,170 --> 00:05:06,834
That fella on horseback
may have been a tad... theatrical,
60
00:05:06,908 --> 00:05:08,899
but, uh, he seemed
quite determined to me.
61
00:05:08,977 --> 00:05:13,505
Yeah, well, I put out an A.P.B. On him.
As soon as we pick him up maybe we'll get some answers.
62
00:05:13,581 --> 00:05:16,846
He won't be runnin' around
in that war paint still, Amos.
63
00:05:16,918 --> 00:05:18,943
No, I think he's got somethin' else
on his mind.
64
00:05:19,020 --> 00:05:21,147
Well, as mayor of Cabot Cove,
65
00:05:21,222 --> 00:05:23,247
I'm not waitin' around
for the hammer to drop.
66
00:05:23,324 --> 00:05:26,691
Now the first thing we gotta do
is find out if that thing is authentic.
67
00:05:26,761 --> 00:05:29,321
And that means, Doc,
I'm appointing you and Jessica Fletcher...
68
00:05:29,397 --> 00:05:31,922
as a committee of two
to get to the bottom of this.
69
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:36,130
[Seth]This is quite a collection, Miss Crenshaw.[Woman] My Dad's very proud of it.
70
00:05:36,204 --> 00:05:39,230
Has your father had a chance
to look at the copy of the land grant?
71
00:05:39,307 --> 00:05:41,935
He was at it all evening.
I don't suppose you have the original?
72
00:05:42,010 --> 00:05:45,776
- Oh, I wish we did.
- I saw the news film on TV last night.
73
00:05:45,847 --> 00:05:48,816
Whoever your Indian is
certainly has a flair for the dramatic.
74
00:05:48,883 --> 00:05:52,046
And a knack
for manipulating the media.
75
00:05:53,154 --> 00:05:57,056
Mrs. Fletcher.
What a pleasure to meet you. Thank you.
76

And this must be Dr. Hazlitt.
A-yah.
77
00:05:59,494 --> 00:06:02,258
I can't begin to tell you...
78
00:06:02,330 --> 00:06:05,697
how delighted I was to receive
a copy of that document.
79
00:06:05,767 --> 00:06:08,998
- A find. A real find.
- Then it's genuine?
80
00:06:09,070 --> 00:06:11,265
Ah, well, I couldn't say for sure.
81
00:06:11,339 --> 00:06:13,432
Not until I examine the original.
82
00:06:13,508 --> 00:06:16,944
You do have the original.
No, I'm afraid not.
83
00:06:17,011 --> 00:06:21,539
I'm afraid we are stymied,
unless I can examine the original document.
84
00:06:21,616 --> 00:06:25,814
I think it may be forthcoming shortly.
You got an idea, Jess?

Well, our mysterious friend
seems to crave the limelight.

he'll put in an appearance.

We're here to cover this story!

but nobody goes inside.

92
00:06:47,408 --> 00:06:50,468

without you fellas writin' it all down.

[Groans]
Have you heard anything more from the Indian?
94
00:06:52,580 --> 00:06:56,812
Uh, not yet. But between you and me, boys,I don't expect to hear from him.
95
00:06:56,885 --> 00:07:01,117
If you ask me, the whole thing's nothing
but somebody's idea of a practical joke.

Oh, Mr. Mayor-
[Reporters Clamoring]
97
00:07:05,193 --> 00:07:08,720
I'll be honest with you, Edmonds,
this Indian thing has got me scared.
98
00:07:08,796 --> 00:07:11,026
Mr. Atwater, I assure you.
There's nothing to it.
99
00:07:11,099 --> 00:07:14,159
I mean, my God, my bank holds
most of the mortgages in this town.
100
00:07:14,235 --> 00:07:16,863
I'm certainly not concerned.
Yeah, well maybe you should be.
101
00:07:16,938 --> 00:07:19,566
Now let me tell you something,
Edmonds.
102
00:07:19,641 --> 00:07:22,269
My company is not about to risk...
103
00:07:22,343 --> 00:07:25,870
$17 million on a resort complex...
104
00:07:25,947 --> 00:07:30,213
if there is the slightest chance that
that could be a legitimate claim.
105
00:07:30,285 --> 00:07:32,753
Well, sir, I think you're overreacting.
Am I?
106
00:07:32,820 --> 00:07:35,812
Well, your little bank...
107
00:07:35,890 --> 00:07:38,688
stands to make a tidy commission
on this venture, Edmonds.
108
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:43,060
So you will forgive me
if I take your assurance with a grain of salt.
109
00:07:46,301 --> 00:07:50,135
Excuse me, Mr. Atwater.
Oh, Langley.
110
00:07:50,204 --> 00:07:53,901
I called your hotel.
I guess you didn't get the message. Uh, no. Sorry.
111
00:07:53,975 --> 00:07:57,274
Well, I was hopin' you and me
could, uh, get together tomorrow.
112
00:07:57,345 --> 00:08:00,508
That land up by Willow Creek-
the piece I got that option on?
113
00:08:00,582 --> 00:08:03,415
Lfigured you and me could
get together and talk business.
114
00:08:03,484 --> 00:08:05,452
Option?
[Chuckles]
115
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,614
I wonder just what that would be
worth under the circumstances. Now wait a minute!
116
00:08:08,690 --> 00:08:13,252
Ad, leave him alone.
Listen, you want that land. I know it. You know it.
117
00:08:13,328 --> 00:08:17,059
It's the only fit place to build
this vacation hotel you're puttin' up.

Mr. Langley, when and if
this Indian business is straightened up,
119
00:08:21,002 --> 00:08:22,936
you and I can talk about this.
120
00:08:23,004 --> 00:08:27,441
Until then, I don't really thinkthat there's much to discuss, do you?
121
00:08:27,508 --> 00:08:29,772
You'll excuse me, won't you?
122
00:08:29,844 --> 00:08:32,369
Come on, Ad.
Let's go inside. Let go of me!
123
00:08:32,447 --> 00:08:34,540
What's the matter with you,
interruptin' while I'm talkin' business?
124
00:08:34,616 --> 00:08:37,141
Back off, Ad.
You keep outta this.
125
00:08:37,218 --> 00:08:40,381
I told you what I'd do if you ever
touched my sister again, didn't I?
126
00:08:40,455 --> 00:08:43,322
Tom, please, don't.
Don't tell me how to treat my wife.
127
00:08:43,391 --> 00:08:45,825
I am tellin' you!

through your drunken head.

Don't get yourselves in an uproar.
140
00:09:34,342 --> 00:09:38,938
Uh, suppose the first thing
I ought to do is introduce a couple of people up here with me.
141
00:09:39,013 --> 00:09:42,278
Uh, Professor Harold Crenshawand his daughter Donna.
142
00:09:42,350 --> 00:09:46,150
The, uh, professor is an expert
on Indian history.
143
00:09:46,220 --> 00:09:50,156
Wait a minute, Sam.
What do we need an expert for?
144
00:09:50,224 --> 00:09:52,988
You sayin' this land grant business
is for real?
145
00:09:53,061 --> 00:09:55,029
Uh, well-
[Edmonds]Look, Amos.
146
00:09:55,096 --> 00:09:58,793
We wanna know who this half-nakedsavage in the warbonnet was.

tied up in my house!

but I didn't come here...

and no pussyfootin'.

Huh? Right!

[Gavel Rapping]
If you all came for answers,
153
00:10:17,652 --> 00:10:20,917
then I suggest you ask someone
who can give them to you.
154
00:10:22,490 --> 00:10:24,754
Just who might you be, stranger?
155
00:10:24,826 --> 00:10:27,954
My name is George Longbow, sir,
and, uh,
156
00:10:28,029 --> 00:10:31,897
I'm the half-naked savage
that dropped in on your Founders' Day celebration.
157

[Townsfolk Murmuring][Sam]Well, sir, uh-
158
00:10:35,002 --> 00:10:38,938
Uh, perhaps you'd be good enough
to, uh, come forward and explain yourself.

00:10:47,348 --> 00:10:51,045
Good evening.
I hope you all will forgive the flamboyance...
162
00:10:51,119 --> 00:10:54,680
of my earlier appearance,
but I wanted to be certain that I had your attention.
163
00:10:54,756 --> 00:10:56,849
And I believe I got it.
164
00:10:56,924 --> 00:11:02,658
In 1758,an Algonquin chieftainnamed Manitoka...
165
00:11:02,730 --> 00:11:06,826
helped the British wina major battle against the French.
166
00:11:06,901 --> 00:11:09,836
And in appreciation,
the British governor general bestowed...
167
00:11:09,904 --> 00:11:12,896
upon the chief and his descendants...
168
00:11:12,974 --> 00:11:18,207
a grant of land which included all
of the area which you now call Cabot Cove.
169
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:24,411
Well, I am the 11 th direct descendant
of that chief.
170
00:11:24,485 --> 00:11:26,817
And to put it in the simplest of terms,
171
00:11:26,888 --> 00:11:30,585
this meeting is being held on my property.
[Man]You're crazy, man.
172
00:11:30,658 --> 00:11:33,786
Hey, toss him outta here!
You're not gonna take my property.
173
00:11:33,861 --> 00:11:36,193
[Murmuring]
Wait, please, all of you.
174
00:11:36,264 --> 00:11:40,257
Uh, we came here to find out something,
so, please, let's listen.
175
00:11:40,334 --> 00:11:43,303
Mr. Longbow, I'm Jessica Fletcher.
L- I have a question.
176
00:11:43,371 --> 00:11:48,070
Uh, if- It's a very big if-
if what you say is true, what do you intend to do?
177
00:11:48,142 --> 00:11:52,010
Are you planning to evictall of us from our homes?
178
00:11:52,079 --> 00:11:54,206
Certainly not, Mrs. Fletcher.
179
00:11:54,282 --> 00:11:58,514
However, there will be
the matter of rent to be paid.
180
00:11:58,586 --> 00:12:01,953
Rent?
You'll get my land over my dead body. Right!
181
00:12:02,023 --> 00:12:04,457
I'll see you in hell first,
you thievin' redskin!
182
00:12:04,525 --> 00:12:08,825
What did you-What did you call me?
Mister, nobody calls me- [Excited Chattering]
183
00:12:08,896 --> 00:12:11,262
- [Chattering Continues]
- Friends and neighbors!
184
00:12:11,332 --> 00:12:13,027
Come on, Ad!
Come on. Back off.
185
00:12:13,100 --> 00:12:15,432
Let go of me!
Just hold on. Take it easy.
186
00:12:15,503 --> 00:12:17,767
Let me go!
I'll kill that heathen!
187
00:12:17,839 --> 00:12:20,364
Yeah, you come near me,
you're the one who ends up dead.
188
00:12:20,441 --> 00:12:22,966
Listen, you're not scarin'me away,any of you!
189
00:12:23,044 --> 00:12:24,978
This is my town!
190
00:12:25,046 --> 00:12:28,777
So get used to the idea.
[Woman]No! It's our town!
191
00:12:28,850 --> 00:12:31,785
[Chattering]
192
00:12:34,789 --> 00:12:36,780
[Chattering Continues]
193
00:12:42,864 --> 00:12:45,332
Let's get outta here.
194
00:12:47,435 --> 00:12:52,270
Well, it seems as though
I've stirred things up a bit.
195
00:12:52,340 --> 00:12:54,638
Did you really expect
that you wouldn't?
196
00:12:54,709 --> 00:12:57,303
All right,
let's get down to business. [Sighs]
197
00:12:57,378 --> 00:13:00,575
Sam, what's goin' on here?
Why wasn't I told about this meeting?
198
00:13:00,648 --> 00:13:03,583
Norman, you can't come in here.
This is official town business.
199
00:13:03,651 --> 00:13:06,415
And since I hold mortgages
on half of Cabot Cove,
200
00:13:06,487 --> 00:13:08,853
I've got a right to hear
what's being said, and done.
201
00:13:08,923 --> 00:13:12,882
- He is right about that, Sam.
- Oh, all right, all right. But-
202
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,656
But keep it zipped.
I'm runnin' things here.
203
00:13:15,730 --> 00:13:17,857
Now, uh, where were we?
204
00:13:17,932 --> 00:13:21,095
I believe I was just about
to tell Professor Crenshaw...
205
00:13:21,168 --> 00:13:23,466
what a pleasure it is
to meet him in person.
206
00:13:23,537 --> 00:13:26,768
Sir, your daughter is very proud of you,
as I'm sure you are of her.
207
00:13:26,841 --> 00:13:29,571
What? You know Donna?
208
00:13:29,644 --> 00:13:34,308
Oh, yes. We met several months ago
when I was doing research at the university.
209
00:13:34,382 --> 00:13:36,646
But I feel as if we've been friends for years.
210
00:13:36,717 --> 00:13:38,685
Look, can we cutall this chit-chat?
211
00:13:38,753 --> 00:13:41,221
Longbow, if you are who you
say you are, then prove it.
212
00:13:45,159 --> 00:13:50,654
Several months ago I found this
among my late mother's possessions.
213
00:13:50,731 --> 00:13:53,199
Professor.
214
00:13:55,937 --> 00:13:58,405
Yes. Yes, I see.
215
00:13:58,472 --> 00:14:00,963
That's-
That's very interesting.
216
00:14:01,042 --> 00:14:04,978
- Well, is it real or isn't it?
- It appears to be genuine.
217
00:14:05,046 --> 00:14:09,642
But, of course,
I'd have to conduct some tests. What kind of tests?
218
00:14:09,717 --> 00:14:14,211
Well, to determine the age
of the parchment, the ink used-
219
00:14:14,288 --> 00:14:19,089
These are validation reports
from several experts, Professor.
220
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,890
I'm sure you'll
recognize the names.
221
00:14:21,963 --> 00:14:24,397
And if you still have any doubts,
a few simple phone calls...
222
00:14:24,465 --> 00:14:26,626
will verify their authenticity.
223
00:14:26,701 --> 00:14:31,161
Huh?
Dr. Steinmeyer? Professor Carlsbad?
224
00:14:31,238 --> 00:14:34,366
I assure you, Doctor, and all of you,
225
00:14:34,442 --> 00:14:37,969
that this is not a hoax,
and I am no impostor.
226
00:14:38,045 --> 00:14:42,675
Well, gentlemen,
if all of this checks out,
227
00:14:42,750 --> 00:14:46,447
it appears that this man
does indeed own Cabot Cove.
228
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:50,251
The hell he does!
We have courts in this country, mister.
229
00:14:50,324 --> 00:14:53,259
As far as I'm concerned,
you can take that paper and you stick it-
230
00:14:53,327 --> 00:14:55,795
Uh, yes, Norman.
Yes, uh- uh, we get your point.
231
00:14:55,863 --> 00:14:58,593
I am a graduate of Harvard Law School,
Mr. Edmonds,
232
00:14:58,666 --> 00:15:00,600
so don't try to threaten me
with legalities.
233
00:15:00,668 --> 00:15:03,262
Oh, it's no threat, sonny.
Would you like to step outside right-
234
00:15:03,337 --> 00:15:07,000
Gentlemen. Gentlemen. Please. Please.
Both of you, stop this bickering. [Chuckles]
235
00:15:07,074 --> 00:15:09,133
This will get us absolutely nowhere.
236
00:15:09,210 --> 00:15:13,840
Now, assuming that your claim
is legitimate, Mr. Longbow- Jessica-
237
00:15:13,914 --> 00:15:16,849
I did say "assuming," Norman.
238
00:15:16,917 --> 00:15:19,147
Just what is it that you want from us?
239
00:15:19,220 --> 00:15:24,021
Mrs. Fletcher, it's very simple,
and it's also very fair.
240
00:15:24,091 --> 00:15:29,859
I intend to assess every Cabot Cove
landowner one half of one percent of value.
241
00:15:29,930 --> 00:15:33,957
The average resident will pay
no more than $200 a year.
242
00:15:35,436 --> 00:15:38,064
Well, that doesn't sound too unreasonable.
243
00:15:38,139 --> 00:15:41,199
Sorta like saying
you were mugged in an alley,
244
00:15:41,275 --> 00:15:43,641
but it's okay because the mugger
only got five dollars.
245
00:15:46,547 --> 00:15:49,948
If you all now will excuse me.
246
00:15:51,886 --> 00:15:54,480
Uh- Uh,
how can we get in touch with you?
247
00:15:54,555 --> 00:15:56,682
I'll be in touch with you.
248
00:15:58,959 --> 00:16:00,893
[Scoffs]
249
00:16:02,630 --> 00:16:06,396
It isn't the money, Jess,
it's the principle of the thing. He seems so dang sure of himself.
250
00:16:06,467 --> 00:16:09,095
Come on, redskin.
Show us how you dance.
251
00:16:09,170 --> 00:16:12,196
Hey, why don't you fellas just back off?
252
00:16:12,273 --> 00:16:14,867
[Tom]We back off when you do.
253
00:16:14,942 --> 00:16:18,673
[Groans]
Now listen to me, okay?
254
00:16:18,746 --> 00:16:21,408
I don't want any trouble.
255
00:16:21,482 --> 00:16:23,541
You should've
thought about that before.
256
00:16:23,617 --> 00:16:26,552
Tom, Randy, stop that!
All of you. [Tires Squealing]
257
00:16:26,620 --> 00:16:28,554
Stay outta this, Mrs. Fletcher.
258
00:16:31,125 --> 00:16:33,457
- George!
- Hold it!
259
00:16:33,527 --> 00:16:37,019
- [Grunts, Groans]
- Next time, Indian!
260
00:16:37,098 --> 00:16:40,465
- Next time!
- [Tires Squealing]
261
00:16:40,534 --> 00:16:42,900
Angel of mercy.
262
00:16:42,970 --> 00:16:46,064
Lucky she happened to be passin' by.
263
00:16:46,140 --> 00:16:48,370
Lucky. Yes.
264
00:16:56,550 --> 00:16:58,984
George, just what the hell
are you up to? Donna-
265
00:16:59,053 --> 00:17:00,987
You used me!
I did not.
266
00:17:01,055 --> 00:17:05,048
All those days and nights
at the university, when you said you were researching your heritage.
267
00:17:05,126 --> 00:17:07,253
This is what you were after.
No!
268
00:17:07,328 --> 00:17:12,630
I had the land grant, but I didn't tell you
because I wasn't sure how you'd react if you knew what I was doing.
269
00:17:12,700 --> 00:17:15,760
Well, you know now.
George, you are insane.
270
00:17:15,836 --> 00:17:18,066
That stupid stunt at the ceremonies,
271
00:17:18,139 --> 00:17:21,472
walking into a town meeting,
threatening these people.
272
00:17:21,542 --> 00:17:24,102
I mean, don't you have any sense of-
273
00:17:24,178 --> 00:17:26,772
Oh, self-preservation? Yeah, lots.
274
00:17:26,847 --> 00:17:30,749
Which is why no one knows
where I'm staying, and no one is going to know, including you, Donna.
275
00:17:32,153 --> 00:17:34,553
Donna, look, my peoplehave been bowing and scraping...
276
00:17:34,622 --> 00:17:37,420
to the white man for centuries,
and what did it ever get us?
277
00:17:37,491 --> 00:17:40,358
Indignation, humiliation
and reservations,
278
00:17:40,427 --> 00:17:43,794
not to mention
several dozen diseases imported from Europe.
279
00:17:45,132 --> 00:17:49,466
Yeah, well, it-it's time one of us stood upfor what is rightfully ours.
280
00:17:49,537 --> 00:17:52,267
And that self-appointed champion
of justice is you?
281
00:17:52,339 --> 00:17:55,240
Yeah, that's right.
Wonderful, George. Wonderful.
282
00:17:55,309 --> 00:17:59,211
I just hope your reign as emperor
of Cabot Cove is a long and happy one.
283
00:18:00,314 --> 00:18:02,475
Dad's gonna be worried about me.
284
00:18:02,550 --> 00:18:04,484
[Sighs]
Look, I, um-
285
00:18:04,552 --> 00:18:06,782
I have my pickup truck
parked outside of town.
286
00:18:06,854 --> 00:18:10,312
- Could you drop me off?
- Yeah.
287
00:18:10,391 --> 00:18:13,292
George, be careful.
288
00:18:13,360 --> 00:18:17,296
I understand where you're coming from,but these people feel threatened.
289
00:18:17,364 --> 00:18:20,891
It doesn't take a whole lot of fear
to turn a crowd into a mob.
290
00:18:32,079 --> 00:18:34,377
[Knocking][Professor Crenshaw]Donna?
291
00:18:34,448 --> 00:18:36,382
Yes?
292
00:18:42,289 --> 00:18:44,883
Dad, you're still up.
Of course I'm still up.
293
00:18:44,959 --> 00:18:49,055
Where have you been?
The father hen syndrome.
294
00:18:49,129 --> 00:18:52,860
- I thought we'd gotten beyond that.
- Why didn't you tell me about him?
295
00:18:52,933 --> 00:18:56,528
I did, twice.
You were hardly listening, as usual.
296
00:18:57,671 --> 00:19:01,630
My daily activities are rarely high
on your preferred topics of conversation.
297
00:19:02,943 --> 00:19:05,002
[Sighs]
Look, Dad, I'm pretty tired, okay?
298
00:19:05,079 --> 00:19:07,912
Is- Is there-
299
00:19:07,982 --> 00:19:09,916
Is there anything between you?
300
00:19:09,984 --> 00:19:12,578
You mean, are George and I lovers?
301
00:19:12,653 --> 00:19:16,248
If you're trying to hurt me, Donna,
you're doing an excellent job.
302
00:19:16,323 --> 00:19:18,791
Perhaps you should go to sleep.
303
00:19:18,859 --> 00:19:20,793
Dad.
304
00:19:22,162 --> 00:19:24,096
I'm sorry.
305
00:19:24,164 --> 00:19:27,395
I don't mean to hurt you, the same
as you don't really mean to hurt me.
306
00:19:27,468 --> 00:19:31,564
No, I haven't slept with George Longbow.
We're friends, that's all.
307
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:36,134
And, no, I didn't help him findthat land grant, okay?
308
00:19:37,778 --> 00:19:40,303
Okay.
309
00:19:43,484 --> 00:19:45,782
See you tomorrow.
310
00:20:31,699 --> 00:20:33,633
Helen!
311
00:20:35,369 --> 00:20:37,837
Here. Let me help you.
312
00:20:37,905 --> 00:20:39,896
[Groans]
Jessica.
313
00:20:39,973 --> 00:20:42,498
I just got a little dizzy,
that's all. Oh.
314
00:20:42,576 --> 00:20:44,771
Well, come on.
Let me help you into the house.
315
00:20:44,845 --> 00:20:47,507
Oh, no.
I'm fine, really. Well, come on!
316
00:20:47,581 --> 00:20:49,845
I'll help you. Here we go.
317
00:20:57,057 --> 00:20:59,389
Jessica, thank you.
It's all right.
318
00:20:59,460 --> 00:21:02,190
I just can't imagine
what came over me.
319
00:21:02,262 --> 00:21:06,528
Well, now could I get you something,
like a cup of tea?
320
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,534
Oh, there's some-
there's some coffee on the stove.
321
00:21:08,602 --> 00:21:10,968
Right. Well, you sit back and relax.
I'll get it.
322
00:21:11,038 --> 00:21:12,972
Good.
323
00:21:28,922 --> 00:21:31,686
[Jessica]Cream and sugar? Uh, just black.
324
00:21:38,565 --> 00:21:42,262
Thanks.
Oh, my goodness, that- that eye looks very puffy.
325
00:21:42,336 --> 00:21:45,100
Oh, yeah.
I've been crying a lot, I guess. Yeah.
326
00:21:45,172 --> 00:21:47,436
Maybe you should let Seth Hazlitt
take a look at it.
327
00:21:47,508 --> 00:21:49,567
Oh, no, Jessica.
I am fine, really.
328
00:21:49,643 --> 00:21:53,374
It's just-
It's this business with this Indian. I guess it's got everybody on edge.
329
00:21:53,447 --> 00:21:55,779
Well, I see you and Ad
have been fixing things up.
330
00:21:55,849 --> 00:22:00,218
The kitchen's going to be lovely.
Oh, that. That's my handiwork.
331
00:22:00,287 --> 00:22:03,916
[Chuckles]
Ad's a... dreamer, not a doer.
332
00:22:07,995 --> 00:22:10,623
I guess it's no secret.Ad's been drinking again.
333
00:22:10,697 --> 00:22:14,690
You saw him last night at the meeting.
Mr. Atwater came by this morning and wanted to see him,
334
00:22:14,768 --> 00:22:17,703
and l- I couldn't even tell himwhere Ad was.
335
00:22:17,771 --> 00:22:19,898
You mean,
he didn't come home last night? No.
336
00:22:19,973 --> 00:22:22,100
I haven't seen him since the town meeting.
337
00:22:23,577 --> 00:22:27,775
The gentleman in the limousine
was Mr. Harris Atwater.
338
00:22:27,848 --> 00:22:29,873
He wanted me
to talk to Ad about the option.
339
00:22:29,950 --> 00:22:33,545
He said he was willing to pay a fair price,
but he wasn't about to be held up.
340
00:22:34,621 --> 00:22:37,181
[Laughs]
I'm sorry.
341
00:22:37,257 --> 00:22:39,589
I must be a couple of beats behind.
Oh, oh.
342
00:22:39,660 --> 00:22:42,493
Well, it's all about this resort hotel...
343
00:22:42,563 --> 00:22:45,555
that Mr. Atwater's company
is planning on putting up outside of town.
344
00:22:45,632 --> 00:22:48,601
A couple of years ago,Ad got this crazy idea...
345
00:22:48,669 --> 00:22:52,662
that the land up by Willow Creekwas gonna be worth something,so he took an option on it.
346
00:22:52,739 --> 00:22:56,038
Well, for once he was right.
347
00:22:56,109 --> 00:22:59,738
Mr. Atwater's company
wants to put up a hotel right there.
348
00:22:59,813 --> 00:23:03,249
For the first time it looked like
we were going to be out from under,
349
00:23:03,317 --> 00:23:06,548
and then this Indian shows up
at the meeting last night and everything.
350
00:23:06,620 --> 00:23:09,521
And l-Well-
351
00:23:09,590 --> 00:23:13,788
Well, we don't know
that Mr. Longbow's claim is valid.
352
00:23:15,128 --> 00:23:19,087
- You mean there's a chance he's wrong?
- There's always a chance, Helen.
353
00:23:19,166 --> 00:23:21,498
Drink your coffee.
354
00:23:24,004 --> 00:23:26,268
[Chattering]
355
00:23:33,013 --> 00:23:35,311
Oh, Mrs. Fletcher,can you tell us what's going on?
356
00:23:35,382 --> 00:23:38,579
Look, I'm sorry, but I really know
as little about this as you do.
357
00:23:38,652 --> 00:23:41,212
And I have nothing to say.
If you'll excuse me-
358
00:23:41,288 --> 00:23:44,655
All right, come on, guys.
Try and get a shot through the window.
359
00:23:44,725 --> 00:23:47,819
- [Chattering Continues]
- Oh, come in, Mrs. Fletcher.
360
00:23:47,895 --> 00:23:50,386
Thank you. Morning, Mayor.
Seth.
361
00:23:50,464 --> 00:23:54,992
Well, Jessica. You're just in time
to watch Sam deal with our latest crisis.
362
00:23:55,068 --> 00:23:57,764
Are there any developments?
Nothin' to cheer about.
363
00:23:57,838 --> 00:24:01,239
Professor Crenshaw
left town about an hour ago. He left town?
364
00:24:01,308 --> 00:24:04,175
Yeah. His daughter called
a few minutes ago.
365
00:24:04,244 --> 00:24:08,203
Says he got a call from Norman Edmonds,
got all excited, and was gone in a flash.
366
00:24:08,282 --> 00:24:13,310
Now, what I want to know is,
is this professor fella on our side or isn't he?
367
00:24:13,387 --> 00:24:17,016
And if he isn't-
Well, he was your idea, Jessica.
368
00:24:17,090 --> 00:24:19,684
Oh, now just a moment, Mayor.
Me too, Sam.
369
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:23,389
Now, just calm your tail feathers.
Hysteria is not the solution. [Phone Ringing]
370
00:24:23,463 --> 00:24:28,025
Well, all I know is, folks are expectin' me
to do somethin', and I'm gonna do it...
371
00:24:28,101 --> 00:24:30,763
soon as I figure out
what it is I'm supposed to do.
372
00:24:30,837 --> 00:24:34,398
Sheriff, there's trouble
over at Town Hall.
373
00:24:34,474 --> 00:24:37,966
It's Ad Langley.
You better go too, Doc. Mm-hmm.
374
00:24:48,956 --> 00:24:51,720
[Cop] Stand back here.[Sam]Step aside, folks. Step aside.
375
00:24:58,966 --> 00:25:01,958
[Crowd Murmuring]
376
00:25:17,884 --> 00:25:20,682
The victim has been identified
as Addison Langley, 47,
377
00:25:20,754 --> 00:25:22,847
a local business contractor.
378
00:25:22,923 --> 00:25:27,053
His body was discovered here
at the Cabot Cove Town Hall less than an hour ago.
379
00:25:27,127 --> 00:25:31,757
Cause of death-
an antique Algonquin lance driven through his chest.
380
00:25:31,832 --> 00:25:34,630
Now, local sources inform usthat Langley was involved...
381
00:25:34,701 --> 00:25:38,330
in a heated argument herelast night with George Longbow.
382
00:25:38,405 --> 00:25:42,205
He's the Indian activistwho claims to own all of Cabot Cove.
383
00:25:50,117 --> 00:25:53,109
You find somethin', Jess?
Well, I'm not sure.
384
00:25:53,186 --> 00:25:56,883
All that sand in Ad Langley's shoes
and in the cuffs of his trousers.
385
00:25:56,957 --> 00:25:59,357
As if he'd been walkin' on the beach
last night. Yeah.
386
00:25:59,426 --> 00:26:02,361
There are traces of sand across here.
You can feel it under your feet.
387
00:26:02,429 --> 00:26:05,557
It looks as if he came in
through this door. Or was carried in.
388
00:26:05,632 --> 00:26:08,931
Ad Langley may have been found here,
but he was not killed here. [Siren Wails]
389
00:26:09,002 --> 00:26:12,369
- Are you sure?
- A-yah. Not enough blood.
390
00:26:12,439 --> 00:26:15,237
Seth, something is very odd.
391
00:26:15,308 --> 00:26:20,541
Killers usually try to hide their victims,
not advertise them.
392
00:26:20,614 --> 00:26:25,551
Unless putting him here
was supposed to be symbolic?
393
00:26:25,619 --> 00:26:27,644
Yeah.
394
00:26:27,721 --> 00:26:31,020
Makes you wonder a little bit
about George Longbow.
395
00:26:31,091 --> 00:26:34,959
That young man may not be
a lot of things, but he's not stupid.
396
00:26:35,028 --> 00:26:38,259
A-yah.
He does have a temper a mile wide.
397
00:26:38,331 --> 00:26:40,265
Excuse me, Doc.
398
00:26:40,333 --> 00:26:43,666
Is there anything more
about Ad Langley's body that I oughta know about?
399
00:26:43,737 --> 00:26:47,036
Like what, Amos?
Well, like bruises,
400
00:26:47,107 --> 00:26:50,907
like maybe he was in a fight
or somethin'. No, nothing especially unusual.
401
00:26:50,977 --> 00:26:54,469
Little bit of varnish on one hand.
Mm-hmm.
402
00:26:54,548 --> 00:26:58,712
And you're still sayin' the time of death
was, what, about midnight last night?
403
00:26:58,785 --> 00:27:00,844
A-yah.
Give or take an hour or two.
404
00:27:02,122 --> 00:27:04,647
Mighty strange time to meet somebody.
405
00:27:04,725 --> 00:27:08,957
- And why here?
- Hmm. Well, Jess.
406
00:27:09,029 --> 00:27:11,190
Do you wanna tell him,
or shall I?
407
00:27:12,265 --> 00:27:14,358
Hmm?
408
00:27:20,807 --> 00:27:23,071
[Seth]
The longer George Longbow...
409
00:27:23,143 --> 00:27:25,134
stays in hiding,
the worse things look for him.
410
00:27:25,212 --> 00:27:28,340
Well, if you were he,
would you show up, given the mood of this town?
411
00:27:29,549 --> 00:27:33,747
You got somethin' gnawin' at ya?
Do you remember what Donna Crenshaw told Amos?
412
00:27:33,820 --> 00:27:36,380
That her father hurried back
to the university...
413
00:27:36,456 --> 00:27:39,016
after he got a call
from Norman Edmonds?
414
00:27:40,193 --> 00:27:44,289
You think there's
some sort of connection? I'll tell you one thing that I think.
415
00:27:44,364 --> 00:27:47,993
Addison Langley had an option
on a very valuable piece of property.
416
00:27:48,068 --> 00:27:51,265
And now that he's dead,
a lot of other people stand to gain from it,
417
00:27:51,338 --> 00:27:55,434
especially if the murder
can be pinned on George Longbow.
418
00:27:57,210 --> 00:27:59,678
You want me to come in with you?
No, I'll be fine.
419
00:27:59,746 --> 00:28:01,805
[Starts Engine]
420
00:28:01,882 --> 00:28:04,373
Oh, Mr. Atwater?
421
00:28:04,451 --> 00:28:07,249
You're Mrs. Fletcher, aren't you?
422
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,483
Yes, we haven't actually met.
This is a real pleasure. Thank you.
423
00:28:10,557 --> 00:28:14,960
I suppose you know that my company
has planned some very big things for Cabot Cove.
424
00:28:15,028 --> 00:28:18,794
Yes.
I'm afraid some big things have already happened in this town...
425
00:28:18,865 --> 00:28:21,459
and are threatening
to get out of hand. Yes.
426
00:28:21,535 --> 00:28:23,469
Langley-
l- I heard about that.
427
00:28:23,537 --> 00:28:26,165
I suppose everybody in town
has heard about that now.
428
00:28:26,239 --> 00:28:28,400
It's a nasty business, isn't it.
429
00:28:29,409 --> 00:28:33,903
Have they, uh-Have they found that Indian yet? Uh, no. Uh- Uh, Mr. Atwater.
430
00:28:33,980 --> 00:28:38,440
I take it that you have just learned
of Mr. Langley's death. Yes, of course.
431
00:28:38,518 --> 00:28:43,751
I'm sorry, but I was at the Langley home
earlier, and I spoke to Mrs. Langley.
432
00:28:43,824 --> 00:28:46,588
She said that you had asked her
about the option.
433
00:28:46,660 --> 00:28:50,824
I asked her to use her influence
with her husband.
434
00:28:50,897 --> 00:28:55,266
Naturally, I would not have done
that if I had known that the man was dead. Of course.
435
00:28:55,335 --> 00:28:59,294
And now, I take it,
you'll be dealing directly with her.
436
00:28:59,372 --> 00:29:02,967
I was just on my way there
to offer my condolences.
437
00:29:03,043 --> 00:29:07,980
I see.
Well, things have certainly gone very well for you, haven't they?
438
00:29:09,049 --> 00:29:13,383
Mrs. Fletcher, when I said
that it was a pleasure meeting you,
439
00:29:13,453 --> 00:29:16,047
it is just possible that I spoke in haste.
440
00:29:16,122 --> 00:29:20,786
Now, while I personally place no credencewhatsoever on that Indian's claim,
441
00:29:20,861 --> 00:29:25,355
it is true, yes, his involvement
in Addison Langley's murder...
442
00:29:25,432 --> 00:29:30,165
does remove the last remaining
impediment to my company's investment.
443
00:29:30,237 --> 00:29:33,536
Now, you may regardthat as callous.
444
00:29:33,607 --> 00:29:36,542
I see it as good business.
445
00:29:36,610 --> 00:29:39,272
You'll excuse me, won't you?
446
00:29:43,650 --> 00:29:45,675
[Car Door Closes]
447
00:30:01,968 --> 00:30:05,563
- Tom, that's him!
- [Man]Hey, look what we got here!
448
00:30:06,973 --> 00:30:09,168
[Horn Honking]
449
00:30:13,013 --> 00:30:15,607
- Come on, baby!
- Let's get him! Come on!
450
00:30:16,683 --> 00:30:19,675
- Over to the left!
- Don't let him get away!
451
00:30:20,687 --> 00:30:24,418
Watch him, Billy!Watch him! Go around to the right!
452
00:30:24,491 --> 00:30:27,517
- See him?
- I got him! I got him to the right!
453
00:30:27,594 --> 00:30:29,789
In the bushes!
454
00:30:29,863 --> 00:30:33,196
Let's get him now!There he is!
455
00:30:33,266 --> 00:30:37,202
- Go! Go!
- Hey, hey! Over here!
456
00:30:39,039 --> 00:30:41,667
Round that tree.Quick! Let's move!
457
00:30:41,741 --> 00:30:43,800
All right, now!
458
00:30:43,877 --> 00:30:47,108
There he goes!Behind that big tree!
459
00:30:47,180 --> 00:30:49,114
[Groans]
460
00:30:54,387 --> 00:30:57,550
[Chuckles, Coughs]
461
00:30:57,624 --> 00:31:01,253
Okay, big chief.
You got a heap a lot of trouble now.
462
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:10,458
- Norman.
- Oh, mornin', Jessica.
463
00:31:10,537 --> 00:31:14,268
I went looking for you at the bank.
They told me I'd find you here.
464
00:31:14,341 --> 00:31:17,276
Yeah?
Finally found a buyer for this old place.
465
00:31:17,344 --> 00:31:19,778
Folks from Boston.
Real nice people, I hear.
466
00:31:19,846 --> 00:31:23,543
- Oh, you're going to be
holding the mortgage? - That's my business.
467
00:31:24,751 --> 00:31:27,345
I would have thought-
I mean, considering...
468
00:31:27,420 --> 00:31:30,218
the uncertainty
of the situation- You mean Longbow?
469
00:31:30,290 --> 00:31:33,282
He's not gonna be much more
of a problem, is he?
470
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:36,523
Why is it that everyone in this town
assumes that he is guilty?
471
00:31:36,596 --> 00:31:39,622
Oh, come on, Jessica.
You were there last night. What else can you think?
472
00:31:39,699 --> 00:31:43,760
Well, Mr. Atwater seems pleased.
I ran into him at the bank.
473
00:31:43,837 --> 00:31:47,864
I know folks aren't too happy about havin'
this hotel in their backyard, Jessica.
474
00:31:47,941 --> 00:31:50,341
But, believe me,
it's going to be very good for this town.
475
00:31:50,410 --> 00:31:53,937
I expect property values will doublein the next couple of years. Yeah.
476
00:31:54,014 --> 00:31:57,142
Well, I suppose you can't quarrel
with prosperity.
477
00:31:58,318 --> 00:32:01,549
Uh, I tried to reach
Professor Crenshaw this morning.
478
00:32:01,621 --> 00:32:05,887
I understand he's gone back to the university,after receiving a phone call from you.
479
00:32:08,495 --> 00:32:11,623
Well, now, I'm being grilled, aren't I?
480
00:32:11,698 --> 00:32:13,859
Jessica, go back to your typewriter.
481
00:32:13,933 --> 00:32:17,596
Norman, a man is dead.
Another man is being hunted.
482
00:32:17,670 --> 00:32:20,264
And the fate of this town
is teetering on a tightrope.
483
00:32:20,340 --> 00:32:23,832
I mean, you're going to have
to talk to somebody.
484
00:32:23,910 --> 00:32:25,844
All right.
485
00:32:27,347 --> 00:32:31,909
Early this morning, I offered
Professor Crenshaw $50,000...
486
00:32:31,985 --> 00:32:35,546
if he could supply irrefutable proof
that the Indian's claim is fraudulent.
487
00:32:35,622 --> 00:32:38,318
That is a great deal of money.
488
00:32:38,391 --> 00:32:42,054
Jessica,if that man is who he says he is,my bank is ruined.
489
00:32:42,128 --> 00:32:44,392
I'm ruined.
490
00:32:44,464 --> 00:32:48,491
Only sorry I didn't wait a couple of hours.
It seems that, uh, George Longbow...
491
00:32:48,568 --> 00:32:51,093
has destructed all by himself.[Men Whooping]
492
00:32:53,740 --> 00:32:57,073
- [Man] Here's an Injun!
- [Horn Honking]
493
00:32:57,143 --> 00:32:59,111
[Shouting]
494
00:32:59,179 --> 00:33:01,113
Good Lord!
495
00:33:08,688 --> 00:33:12,488
[Horn Honking]
[Whooping]
496
00:33:12,559 --> 00:33:15,027
Look here what we got ourselves!
[Reporter] Hey, where'd you find him?
497
00:33:15,095 --> 00:33:17,689
Uh, excuse me, Mayor.
Somethin' seems to be up.
498
00:33:20,300 --> 00:33:23,030
[Man 1]Hey, bring him down here![Man 2] Indian, look over here!
499
00:33:23,103 --> 00:33:24,764
Give us-
A little bit higher!
500
00:33:24,838 --> 00:33:27,306
- [Man 3]Come on! Bring him on down! - [Crowd Clamoring]
501
00:33:27,373 --> 00:33:30,365
We found him out
by Bert Calloway's place tryin' to get outta town.
502
00:33:30,443 --> 00:33:34,675
Well, let's get him inside.
Come on, now. Stand back, folks. Step aside. Let us through.
503
00:33:36,116 --> 00:33:39,643
[Male]Come on. Give us something, will you?[Woman] We're all pushing deadlines!
504
00:33:41,087 --> 00:33:44,215
Lee, get Doc Hazlitt
over here. Right.
505
00:33:44,290 --> 00:33:48,283
Oh, my.
Was this necessary?
506
00:33:48,361 --> 00:33:50,795
Well, it wasn't us, ma'am.
See, he saw us comin',
507
00:33:50,864 --> 00:33:52,798
and he ran,
and he just fell down.
508
00:33:52,866 --> 00:33:54,925
[Chuckling]
Yeah. He fell down a lot.
509
00:33:55,001 --> 00:33:57,333
Is that the way it happened,
Mr. Longbow?
510
00:33:57,403 --> 00:34:00,167
[Man] Huh?
511
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:04,438
Lee, take him back
to the cell and lock him up. Right.
512
00:34:04,511 --> 00:34:06,604
Let's go.
513
00:34:10,917 --> 00:34:13,681
Hey, Tom!Where'd you get that truck, Tom?
514
00:34:13,753 --> 00:34:15,687
What's the story?
Give us the story.
515
00:34:15,755 --> 00:34:18,519
- We're on deadline!
- [Chattering]
516
00:34:18,591 --> 00:34:20,752
[Man]Hey, Tom, where you been?
517
00:34:20,827 --> 00:34:24,763
Went back to get the Indian's pickup.
No sense leavin' road hazards out there.
518
00:34:24,831 --> 00:34:27,265
[Laughs]
Oh, and I got the Indian's stuff.
519
00:34:27,333 --> 00:34:29,767
I mean,
so you can't say we're thieves.
520
00:34:29,836 --> 00:34:32,771
I suppose
the town should be grateful, Tom.
521
00:34:32,839 --> 00:34:36,536
But I can't say much
for the condition you delivered him. Listen, Amos.
522
00:34:36,609 --> 00:34:40,375
He was lucky it was us who found him.
Otherwise, he might be dead by now.
523
00:34:40,446 --> 00:34:42,880
Come on, boys.
Let's go out and get our pictures took.
524
00:34:42,949 --> 00:34:46,441
I mean, after all,
we are real live heroes.
525
00:34:46,519 --> 00:34:48,612
[Laughter]
526
00:34:52,392 --> 00:34:54,656
Now, listen to me, young man.
527
00:34:54,727 --> 00:34:57,992
At the moment, you and I may be
the only two people in Cabot Cove...
528
00:34:58,064 --> 00:35:00,464
who think that you are
innocent of this murder.
529
00:35:00,533 --> 00:35:04,060
But retreating into stony,self-righteous silence...
530
00:35:04,137 --> 00:35:06,128
isn't going to helpthe situation one bit.
531
00:35:06,206 --> 00:35:10,609
Now, you re much too intelligent
to commit such a stupid murder.
532
00:35:10,677 --> 00:35:13,305
Now, suppose you tell me the truth,
533
00:35:13,379 --> 00:35:16,815
starting withwhy you really came to Cabot Cove.
534
00:35:16,883 --> 00:35:19,647
All right, I will.
[Clears Throat]
535
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:23,655
First off, it was never my intention
to bilk the people of this town,
536
00:35:23,723 --> 00:35:26,851
especially
not for my own personal gain.
537
00:35:28,528 --> 00:35:32,430
The money is to be used
to fund a scholarship program for Indian youngsters...
538
00:35:32,498 --> 00:35:35,695
who otherwise
wouldn't get a chance to go to college.
539
00:35:35,768 --> 00:35:39,101
Admirable.
But why did you choose...
540
00:35:39,172 --> 00:35:42,903
such a confrontational way
to open up the negotiations?
541
00:35:42,976 --> 00:35:45,001
Mrs. Fletcher,you know as well as I do,
542
00:35:45,078 --> 00:35:47,979
if I would have used a conventional wayto approach your town fathers,
543
00:35:48,047 --> 00:35:51,073
I would have been
completely ignored. Mmm, possibly.
544
00:35:51,150 --> 00:35:53,141
[Phone Ringing]
But what about last night?
545
00:35:53,219 --> 00:35:56,848
Where were you,
and can you prove it?
546
00:35:56,923 --> 00:36:01,292
I was staying outside of town
at a motel known only to me. [Door Creaking Open]
547
00:36:01,361 --> 00:36:06,389
And since I arrived back there at around 11:30,
after the office had closed-
548
00:36:06,466 --> 00:36:09,435
No- No, I can't prove it.
549
00:36:09,502 --> 00:36:12,403
Excuse me, Mrs. Fletcher.
That was the mayor on the phone.
550
00:36:12,472 --> 00:36:14,963
He'd like us to come over
to his office right away.
551
00:36:15,041 --> 00:36:18,636
He's got the professor
with him. I believe you, Mr. Longbow.
552
00:36:20,647 --> 00:36:23,707
I'll do what I can.
553
00:36:26,019 --> 00:36:30,149
I'm not going anywhere.
[Cell Door Clatters, Closes]
554
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:36,794
I don't know what he said to you
back there, Mrs. Fletcher,
555
00:36:36,863 --> 00:36:38,956
but if I were you,
556
00:36:39,032 --> 00:36:41,899
I'd be careful of how far
I climb out on that limb.
557
00:36:41,968 --> 00:36:44,198
What is it, Amos?
558
00:36:44,270 --> 00:36:49,105
Well, I sent my deputy out there to, uh,
take a look at the Indian's pickup truck.
559
00:36:49,175 --> 00:36:51,871
He found some beach sandin the back-
560
00:36:51,944 --> 00:36:55,004
same as we foundon Ad Langley's body.
561
00:36:59,319 --> 00:37:02,948
To put it as bluntly as possible,
George Longbow is a fraud.
562
00:37:03,022 --> 00:37:06,480
Phony, eh? Ha!
Sorta figured that myself.
563
00:37:06,559 --> 00:37:09,255
It's amazing how quickly you came up
with that verdict, Professor,
564
00:37:09,329 --> 00:37:12,298
considering the opinionof those other learned scholars.
565
00:37:12,365 --> 00:37:16,131
Oh, the land grant is genuine enough.
No, I'm talking about Longbow himself.
566
00:37:16,202 --> 00:37:18,898
Dr. Hazlitt,
do you remember the flu epidemic...
567
00:37:18,971 --> 00:37:22,270
that hit this country in 1918,
especially in the northeast?
568
00:37:22,342 --> 00:37:25,675
Don't recall it personally, thanks.
Read about it.
569
00:37:25,745 --> 00:37:27,975
Thousands died in this area,
570
00:37:28,047 --> 00:37:31,448
and particularly hard hit
was the Indian population.
571
00:37:31,517 --> 00:37:35,146
The survivors were adoptedby the few families that remained intact.
572
00:37:35,221 --> 00:37:38,554
Well, under the circumstances,
573
00:37:38,624 --> 00:37:40,888
Longbow cannot possibly claim...
574
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:45,488
direct and provable lineage
to Chief Manitoka.
575
00:37:45,565 --> 00:37:48,659
Well, Mr. Edmonds
will be pleased to hear that.
576
00:37:48,735 --> 00:37:51,636
Is there a possibility that, in your haste,
577
00:37:51,704 --> 00:37:53,729
you may be mistaken, Professor?
578
00:37:53,806 --> 00:37:58,209
I talked to Mr. Edmonds,
and he told me about his very generous offer to you.
579
00:37:58,277 --> 00:38:01,246
Offer? What offer?
580
00:38:01,314 --> 00:38:03,680
Mrs. Fletcher,
581
00:38:03,750 --> 00:38:07,743
$50,000 is a great deal of money
for a man of my means,
582
00:38:07,820 --> 00:38:10,653
but I can assure you,
my credentials are not for sale.
583
00:38:10,723 --> 00:38:12,987
Now hold on, Jessica.
584
00:38:13,059 --> 00:38:16,256
The professor here says
that the Indian's a phony.
585
00:38:16,329 --> 00:38:20,231
Let's not argue with him.
Who's side are you on, anyway?
586
00:38:20,299 --> 00:38:23,234
At the risk of sounding corny, Sam,
I'm on the side of right.
587
00:38:23,302 --> 00:38:25,532
And that includes
not only this land grant,
588
00:38:25,605 --> 00:38:27,869
but also George Longbow's involvement,
589
00:38:27,940 --> 00:38:30,841
if any, in Addison Langley's death.
590
00:38:30,910 --> 00:38:34,539
Oh, for pity's sake, Jessica,the man came here to bamboozle the town,
591
00:38:34,614 --> 00:38:36,707
and you're takin' sides with him.
592
00:38:36,783 --> 00:38:40,549
What she's tryin' to say, Sam, is that
we oughta keep our dampers down...
593
00:38:40,620 --> 00:38:42,747
until we know exactly what's goin' on.
594
00:38:42,822 --> 00:38:45,290
Which is exactly what I'm going to do.
595
00:38:45,358 --> 00:38:48,919
Come on, Professor.
You and me are gonna have a talk with Mr. Longbow.
596
00:38:48,995 --> 00:38:51,225
Guess I better go with 'em, huh?
597
00:38:51,297 --> 00:38:53,857
Uh, Amos, perhaps
it might be more productive...
598
00:38:53,933 --> 00:38:56,595
if we were to search
Mr. Longbow's motel room?
599
00:38:56,669 --> 00:38:58,762
[Amos]You really think so, Mrs. Fletcher?
600
00:38:58,838 --> 00:39:02,239
All right. Key's at my office.We'll pick it up on the way.
601
00:39:16,022 --> 00:39:20,721
Well, if his aim was to hide out,
he sure picked the right place.
602
00:39:20,793 --> 00:39:25,162
Never could figure out
how Charley Peabody could make a living out here.
603
00:39:25,231 --> 00:39:27,699
He said he came home
before midnight last night.
604
00:39:27,767 --> 00:39:29,826
We should check and see
if anyone saw him.
605
00:39:29,902 --> 00:39:31,893
Well, if he's countin' on Charley,
he's outta luck.
606
00:39:31,971 --> 00:39:34,997
Charley closes his office
at, uh, 9:00,
607
00:39:35,074 --> 00:39:37,907
and then he sleeps
as sound as a bear in winter.
608
00:39:37,977 --> 00:39:41,208
Mrs. Fletcher,
look here.
609
00:39:43,015 --> 00:39:46,576
Good idea you had comin' out here,
but not so good for George Longbow.
610
00:39:46,652 --> 00:39:48,677
Look at this.
611
00:39:48,754 --> 00:39:52,190
Sand on the
rug and inside the shoes.
612
00:39:52,258 --> 00:39:55,386
You know, it looks to me
as if he met Ad on the beach,
613
00:39:55,461 --> 00:39:59,158
they had some kind of a row,
boy lost his temper and killed him.
614
00:39:59,232 --> 00:40:01,632
It's as clear as that.
What is absolutely clear, Amos,
615
00:40:01,701 --> 00:40:05,228
is that George Longbow
has been framed for murder.
616
00:40:05,304 --> 00:40:07,932
Oh, there's sand, all right,
but it was deliberately placed.
617
00:40:08,007 --> 00:40:10,271
Look at the soles of these shoes.
618
00:40:10,343 --> 00:40:13,039
- They're gummed soles, Amos.
- Uh-huh.
619
00:40:13,112 --> 00:40:16,513
Now, they pick up absolutely everything,
and there isn't a trace of sand on them.
620
00:40:16,582 --> 00:40:19,983
- Say, you're right.
- You and I are going to pay a call, Amos.
621
00:40:20,052 --> 00:40:23,146
Do you know
who's behind all this? Well, I'm not sure.
622
00:40:23,222 --> 00:40:25,452
And certain things
still don't make any sense,
623
00:40:25,525 --> 00:40:28,858
but I know where to start.
Hmm.
624
00:40:34,367 --> 00:40:36,892
Oh, Jessica
and SheriffTupper. Mrs. Langley.
625
00:40:36,969 --> 00:40:41,201
Who is it, Sis?
Uh, it's Jessica Fletcher, Tom, and the sheriff.
626
00:40:41,274 --> 00:40:44,209
Oh, uh, why don't you come in,
please.
627
00:40:51,651 --> 00:40:54,779
Tom's been keeping me company.
628
00:40:54,854 --> 00:40:57,755
Well, it sure was nice of you
to pay another call, Jessica.
629
00:40:57,823 --> 00:41:01,919
Haven't been many people dropping by.
Ad wasn't much for making friends, you know.
630
00:41:01,994 --> 00:41:03,928
Mrs. Langley, uh,
631
00:41:03,996 --> 00:41:06,191
I think I better tell you
that we're...
632
00:41:06,265 --> 00:41:09,234
plannin' to drop the charges
against George Longbow...
633
00:41:09,302 --> 00:41:12,032
in your husband's death.
What?
634
00:41:12,104 --> 00:41:15,130
Tom, we know that
George Longbow was framed.
635
00:41:15,207 --> 00:41:19,541
Yeah, and we're pretty sure you two
are in it up to your hip pockets. Uh, Amos-
636
00:41:19,612 --> 00:41:22,877
Sheriff, you better have a warrant.
If you don't, I want you out of this house.
637
00:41:22,949 --> 00:41:24,883
Now!
Tom.
638
00:41:24,951 --> 00:41:29,945
You love your sister, don't you, Tom?
I'm sure you'd do anything to protect her.
639
00:41:30,022 --> 00:41:32,547
Yeah, but I wouldn't kill anybody,
if that's what you're sayin'.
640
00:41:32,625 --> 00:41:36,356
But you would plant evidence
to point the finger at an innocent man.
641
00:41:36,429 --> 00:41:38,294
You're crazy.
642
00:41:38,364 --> 00:41:43,631
We found his shoes at the motel,
covered with sand except for the soles.
643
00:41:43,703 --> 00:41:47,901
Those shoes were planted there, Tom,
to incriminate George Longbow.
644
00:41:47,974 --> 00:41:49,965
Yeah, but it wasn't me.
645
00:41:50,042 --> 00:41:52,442
George hadn't told anyone
where he was spending the night.
646
00:41:52,511 --> 00:41:55,139
Not anyone. But you knew.
647
00:41:55,214 --> 00:41:57,409
Come on, Jessica.
648
00:41:57,483 --> 00:41:59,610
When your friends brought George
into the sheriff,
649
00:41:59,685 --> 00:42:04,418
after you'd captured and beaten him,
you arrived separately a short time later.
650
00:42:04,490 --> 00:42:06,424
You had his motel key with you.
651
00:42:06,492 --> 00:42:10,292
You put it on the sheriff's desk,along with George's wallet.
652
00:42:10,363 --> 00:42:14,595
You used that key
to get into his motel room and plant the false evidence.
653
00:42:14,667 --> 00:42:18,068
You're outta your mind,
and I want you out of this house. Both of you!
654
00:42:18,137 --> 00:42:21,402
- Tom, no.
- Sis, you stay out of this.
655
00:42:21,474 --> 00:42:24,307
I said no.
Now, you did all you could.
656
00:42:24,377 --> 00:42:27,505
Don't get yourself
in any more trouble. Sis, don't.
657
00:42:27,580 --> 00:42:30,549
Don't.
They can't prove anything.
658
00:42:30,616 --> 00:42:32,777
It's all right.
659
00:42:34,353 --> 00:42:36,617
It's all right.
660
00:42:37,757 --> 00:42:42,456
Helen, I think that the sheriff
can prove that you were involved.
661
00:42:42,528 --> 00:42:46,294
Dr. Hazlitt found traces of varnish
on your husband's hand,
662
00:42:46,365 --> 00:42:51,325
and there was wet varnish on the chairs
that you were refinishing in the kitchen.
663
00:42:51,404 --> 00:42:53,770
Besides that,
no matter how hard you scrub,
664
00:42:53,839 --> 00:42:58,776
you can't get rid of the blood that
must have spilled on your kitchen floor.
665
00:42:59,912 --> 00:43:02,472
Ad did come home last night,
didn't he?
666
00:43:04,083 --> 00:43:06,278
Why don't you tell us?
667
00:43:09,789 --> 00:43:13,782
Well, it was just past midnight.
Ad was drunk.
668
00:43:13,859 --> 00:43:17,226
He said he'd been walking up and downthe beach, looking for the Indian.
669
00:43:17,296 --> 00:43:22,757
He wanted to hit someone, and I was
the only one around, so he grabbed me.
670
00:43:22,835 --> 00:43:25,201
It was worse than ever.
671
00:43:25,271 --> 00:43:27,535
You saw what I looked like.
I couldn't hide it.
672
00:43:27,606 --> 00:43:31,667
I begged him to stop,but hejust kept comin'after me,
673
00:43:31,744 --> 00:43:35,840
and so I grabbed the knife on the counter,and I turned around, and l-
674
00:43:35,915 --> 00:43:38,145
I lashed out at him.
675
00:43:38,217 --> 00:43:40,549
He staggered.He fell to the floor,
676
00:43:40,619 --> 00:43:44,851
and he grabbed one of those chairsas he hit the ground.
677
00:43:44,924 --> 00:43:47,222
That's when she called me.
678
00:43:47,293 --> 00:43:50,660
She was out of her mind
with fear.
679
00:43:50,730 --> 00:43:53,927
I found her on her knees,
starin' down at that drunken piece of trash.
680
00:43:53,999 --> 00:43:57,400
The knife was still stickin' out
of his chest.
681
00:43:57,470 --> 00:44:00,769
I mean, what was I gonna do?
Let her go to jail for...
682
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:03,070
doin'the world a favor?
683
00:44:04,276 --> 00:44:06,710
Not my sister, no sir.
684
00:44:06,779 --> 00:44:10,510
Then itjust, uh, just came to me-
685
00:44:10,583 --> 00:44:13,177
the trouble at the meetin'hall.
686
00:44:13,252 --> 00:44:17,484
I put Ad in my truck,carried him in the side door,and laid him out on the floor.
687
00:44:20,259 --> 00:44:23,160
And then, like I figured,that-
688
00:44:23,229 --> 00:44:27,461
that funny-lookin'spear was left overfrom the meetin', and I picked it up,
689
00:44:29,235 --> 00:44:31,897
and I raised it over him.
690
00:44:31,971 --> 00:44:36,635
And the wound from the lance
obscured the real cause of death- the knife wound.
691
00:44:41,113 --> 00:44:44,879
[Sighs]
I can't say I'm sorry he's dead.
692
00:44:47,153 --> 00:44:50,384
I know nobody deserves killing, but...
693
00:44:50,456 --> 00:44:53,289
I just couldn't let him hit me anymore.
694
00:45:01,367 --> 00:45:07,169
Well, Seth, I'm afraid you won't be ableto build that wing onto your office.
695
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:12,142
Norman Edmonds plan to turn Cabot Cove
into a vacation paradise has just gone up in smoke.
696
00:45:12,211 --> 00:45:15,510
Uh-huh!
Then I expect Mr. Atwater...
697
00:45:15,581 --> 00:45:18,015
will be taking his Jacuzzis elsewhere.
698
00:45:18,083 --> 00:45:21,678
His home office was a little put off
by the killing,
699
00:45:21,754 --> 00:45:24,848
and they're exploring property
in New Jersey.
700
00:45:24,924 --> 00:45:28,451
Now there is an idea
I can get behind.
701
00:45:28,527 --> 00:45:32,327
Well, we've got to get going.
I want to get back to the university before dark.
702
00:45:32,398 --> 00:45:35,367
- Good. I'll run you both down.
- And I'll come along.
703
00:45:35,434 --> 00:45:37,402
Great.
[Seth] All right.
704
00:45:39,405 --> 00:45:41,430
[Donna]Thank you so much.
705
00:45:41,507 --> 00:45:44,601
[Laughs]
Tell me, what are your plans?
706
00:45:44,677 --> 00:45:47,976
Well, nothing concrete.
But we're working on it.
707
00:45:48,047 --> 00:45:50,743
Oh, by the way, George,
I've spoken to some of my friends,
708
00:45:50,816 --> 00:45:54,752
and, you know,
your plan for a scholarship fund for worthy young American Indians...
709
00:45:54,820 --> 00:45:57,186
has a lot of support in this town.
710
00:45:57,256 --> 00:46:01,989
In fact, we've already formeda committee to get it under way.
711
00:46:02,061 --> 00:46:05,656
Mrs. Fletcher, are you sure
you're not part Algonquin?
712
00:46:05,731 --> 00:46:10,634
[Laughs]
Well, with this- this complexion, I very much doubt it.
713
00:46:10,703 --> 00:46:13,536
But if I were,
I'd be very proud of it.
714
00:46:13,606 --> 00:46:15,665
[Professor Crenshaw]Donna.
715
00:46:16,909 --> 00:46:19,537
Dad, I thought you'd
gone back to the university.
716
00:46:19,612 --> 00:46:22,843
I did.
Changed my mind half way there.
717
00:46:22,915 --> 00:46:26,476
Donna, I'm sorry.
718
00:46:26,552 --> 00:46:29,487
You think we can go inside,sit down, have lunch?
719
00:46:29,555 --> 00:46:32,490
We can make it a table for three.
720
00:46:34,326 --> 00:46:38,262
Come on, George.
I think we're about to negotiate a peace treaty.
721
00:46:38,330 --> 00:46:40,321
[Laughs]
722
00:46:44,003 --> 00:46:49,771
Well, woman, how's it feel
to still have a home to go back to? Wonderful!
723
00:46:49,842 --> 00:46:53,039
Seth Hazlitt,
I've been meaning to ask you a question.
724
00:46:53,112 --> 00:46:56,604
When everyone else was terrified
that they were going to lose their homes,
725
00:46:56,682 --> 00:47:00,482
why were you as calm
as a mountain lake?
726
00:47:00,552 --> 00:47:03,817
Well, I'm much too old
to get caught up in that sort of mass hysteria.
727
00:47:03,889 --> 00:47:06,323
Besides, I rent.
728
00:47:06,392 --> 00:47:08,451
[Chuckles]
729
00:47:08,501 --> 00:47:13,051
