00:00:00,584 --> 00:00:02,586
[music playing[
2
00:00:17,017 --> 00:00:18,269
Hey, Willie, baby.
3
00:00:18,352 --> 00:00:19,812
[giggles]
4
00:00:19,895 --> 00:00:22,231
Takin' you for a little trip, all right?
5
00:00:23,691 --> 00:00:25,484
Okay. Got it.
6
00:00:27,570 --> 00:00:29,405
Fair exchange is no robbery.
7
00:00:29,488 --> 00:00:31,157
[laughs] Only if we don't get caught.
8
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,201
Nah. I'm gonna go down first
and check it out.
9
00:00:34,285 --> 00:00:36,245
And then you can drop the bag down
to me. Okay?
10
00:00:36,328 --> 00:00:37,621
Okay.
11
00:00:37,705 --> 00:00:39,081
See ya.
12
00:00:57,308 --> 00:00:58,893
[grunts]
13
00:01:03,606 --> 00:01:06,567
[owl hooting]
14
00:01:06,650 --> 00:01:08,569
[man] Seresino.
15
00:01:08,652 --> 00:01:11,614
[gasps] Professor Nugent.
16
00:01:11,697 --> 00:01:13,824
Breaking curfew again?
17
00:01:13,908 --> 00:01:16,702
Well, no. Well, see, I was up in my dorm,
18
00:01:16,786 --> 00:01:19,038
and I was kinda gettin' a little
hungry and all,
19
00:01:19,121 --> 00:01:21,123
so I was gonna bop on down to Cabot Cove
20
00:01:21,207 --> 00:01:22,666
for about a half an hour just for--
21
00:01:22,750 --> 00:01:24,752
Please. Just save it for tomorrow.
22
00:01:24,835 --> 00:01:27,171
Professor purcell may be
more impressed than I am.
23
00:01:27,588 --> 00:01:29,840
Oh, please, Sir. Can't you just, like
24
00:01:29,924 --> 00:01:32,885
No, I can't. Come on, let's go.
25
00:01:39,475 --> 00:01:41,101
[music playing]
26
00:02:19,890 --> 00:02:23,102
[music playing]
27
00:02:26,605 --> 00:02:28,691
[all humming]
28
00:02:28,774 --> 00:02:31,026
We serve Prometheus,
29
00:02:31,110 --> 00:02:34,363
who stole fire from
the heavens to serve mankind.
30
00:02:35,906 --> 00:02:37,533
Hail, Prometheus.
31
00:02:37,616 --> 00:02:39,577
[all] Hail, Prometheus!
32
00:02:39,660 --> 00:02:41,412
[humming continues]
33
00:02:41,495 --> 00:02:45,291
[banging]
34
00:02:45,749 --> 00:02:46,792
[girl] What is that?
35
00:02:52,423 --> 00:02:53,340
You got it?
36
00:03:00,681 --> 00:03:02,099
Where's the other lowly one?
37
00:03:02,850 --> 00:03:04,810
The creeper busted him.
38
00:03:06,312 --> 00:03:09,648
Due to Mr. Seresino's customary
ineptitude, I imagine.
39
00:03:09,732 --> 00:03:12,276
Nugent's reporting him
to president purcell.
40
00:03:12,359 --> 00:03:14,695
Are you gonna be able to help him?
41
00:03:17,072 --> 00:03:18,741
The code of Prometheus, Tyler.
42
00:03:19,116 --> 00:03:21,994
The lowly one fulfilled his assignment.
We protect our own.
43
00:03:22,536 --> 00:03:25,205
Although Seresino is definitely pushing
the envelope.
44
00:03:26,498 --> 00:03:27,666
[laughs]
45
00:03:28,459 --> 00:03:31,712
[music playing]
46
00:03:39,637 --> 00:03:42,264
So, you see, the basic
motivations for murder
47
00:03:42,348 --> 00:03:46,143
really haven't changed much
since those ancient times.
48
00:03:46,226 --> 00:03:50,064
Power, money, sex, revenge.
49
00:03:50,147 --> 00:03:54,026
But the variations on
these themes are endless.
50
00:03:54,109 --> 00:03:57,655
Now, next time we'll discuss
wilkie Collins' landmark novel,
51
00:03:57,738 --> 00:03:59,114
The Woman in White.
52
00:03:59,698 --> 00:04:02,701
Well, is there anything I forgot to cover,
professor Matthews?
53
00:04:02,785 --> 00:04:05,454
As usual, Jessica, you didn't miss a beat.
54
00:04:05,537 --> 00:04:07,873
And I learned at least
as much as my students.
55
00:04:07,957 --> 00:04:10,292
Class, let's give a hearty round of
applause to Mrs. Fletcher.
56
00:04:13,128 --> 00:04:15,631
Before you leave, I'd like to call
your attention
57
00:04:15,714 --> 00:04:18,926
to a remarkable feat of transformation.
58
00:04:19,009 --> 00:04:22,346
It seems that last night
while we all slept,
59
00:04:22,429 --> 00:04:25,057
William Shakespeare morphed
60
00:04:25,140 --> 00:04:27,393
into Elvis Presley.
61
00:04:27,893 --> 00:04:29,395
[laughing]
62
00:04:29,478 --> 00:04:31,522
Now, I'm a big fan of the King of Rock,
63
00:04:31,605 --> 00:04:33,482
but I really revere the bard of Avon.
64
00:04:33,565 --> 00:04:37,486
So if the good genies who worked
this magic wouldn't mind,
65
00:04:37,569 --> 00:04:41,198
I'd like to trade back.
No questions asked.
66
00:04:41,281 --> 00:04:43,409
-[bell ringing]
-Thanks, people.
67
00:04:45,744 --> 00:04:47,871
Mike, what happened?
68
00:04:47,955 --> 00:04:49,999
He put it off till later this afternoon.
69
00:04:50,082 --> 00:04:52,418
He had some urgent
meeting with the trustees.
70
00:04:52,501 --> 00:04:54,420
But, uh, my guess is--
how do you spell "expulsion"?
71
00:04:54,503 --> 00:04:57,131
Not to worry, lowly one. He's just messing
with your mind.
72
00:04:57,214 --> 00:05:00,592
Mike, you did very well on your essay.
73
00:05:02,302 --> 00:05:04,263
Thank you, Mrs. Fletcher.
74
00:05:04,346 --> 00:05:06,974
Look, I'm sorry I missed your
lecture but--
75
00:05:07,474 --> 00:05:08,642
What's wrong, Mike?
76
00:05:09,101 --> 00:05:11,770
It's nothing a miracle won't cure.
77
00:05:15,774 --> 00:05:18,444
He's been in trouble ever since he became
a pledge
78
00:05:18,527 --> 00:05:20,320
to that damn society of Prometheus.
79
00:05:20,404 --> 00:05:22,072
His grades have gone South,
80
00:05:22,156 --> 00:05:23,782
along with his attention span.
81
00:05:24,408 --> 00:05:28,078
That club serves no constructive purpose,
82
00:05:28,162 --> 00:05:31,206
except giving the kids a false sense of
belonging.
83
00:05:31,290 --> 00:05:33,292
Well, maybe the new headmaster
84
00:05:33,375 --> 00:05:35,753
will be able to do something about it.
85
00:05:35,836 --> 00:05:39,590
You're certainly handling the stress
very well, Harry.
86
00:05:39,673 --> 00:05:43,969
Jessica, one doesn't tap-dance at
this institution
87
00:05:44,053 --> 00:05:46,346
without acquiring some acting skills.
88
00:05:46,430 --> 00:05:47,973
[laughing]
89
00:05:48,057 --> 00:05:49,975
Well, in a little more than 24 hours,
90
00:05:50,059 --> 00:05:52,394
the suspense will be over.
91
00:05:53,062 --> 00:05:55,773
[Mike] You can afford the second thought,
you know?
92
00:05:55,856 --> 00:05:57,649
I mean, my dad--
93
00:05:57,733 --> 00:06:01,236
Your dad wants you to be more than just
another cabot cove fisherman
94
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,363
like everybody else in your family.
95
00:06:03,447 --> 00:06:05,115
Yeah.
96
00:06:05,199 --> 00:06:06,742
Well, you know how the drill is.
97
00:06:06,825 --> 00:06:08,952
You're either in or you're so far out
98
00:06:09,036 --> 00:06:10,788
that you're just a little speck on
the horizon, right?
99
00:06:10,871 --> 00:06:12,915
Yeah. If you're thrown out,
where will you be?
100
00:06:13,624 --> 00:06:15,417
Look, honey...
101
00:06:16,668 --> 00:06:18,087
we can take this, all right.
102
00:06:18,587 --> 00:06:20,172
I mean, we're not the first pledges
103
00:06:20,255 --> 00:06:21,715
to be put through the wringer, are we?
104
00:06:22,216 --> 00:06:24,301
And besides, Colin promised us
105
00:06:24,384 --> 00:06:26,220
that the society will completely
protect us, didn't he?
106
00:06:29,723 --> 00:06:32,059
[woman] Harry? Darling.
107
00:06:32,142 --> 00:06:33,852
Sweetheart, have you heard the news?
108
00:06:33,936 --> 00:06:35,437
Avery Nugent's withdrawn his name
109
00:06:35,521 --> 00:06:36,855
from consideration for headmaster.
110
00:06:36,939 --> 00:06:39,525
I guess Avery figured he really didn't
stand a chance.
111
00:06:39,608 --> 00:06:41,735
Too bad you didn't come to
the same realization, old man.
112
00:06:42,402 --> 00:06:44,863
It'd make the blow easier
to take, don't you think?
113
00:06:45,364 --> 00:06:46,365
All the way around?
114
00:06:47,533 --> 00:06:49,409
I'm sure we can both handle it, Ryerson,
115
00:06:49,493 --> 00:06:50,494
whichever way it falls.
116
00:06:51,745 --> 00:06:53,372
Perhaps you can, Harry.
117
00:06:53,705 --> 00:06:55,374
But I wonder how long she'll hang on
118
00:06:55,457 --> 00:06:57,459
once your prospects fade.
119
00:06:57,543 --> 00:06:59,753
It's not the reason I broke
with you and you know it.
120
00:07:00,254 --> 00:07:03,173
Claire told me about how she'd had it
with your lying, Jim,
121
00:07:03,257 --> 00:07:05,342
that that's why you left burnside academy.
122
00:07:05,425 --> 00:07:07,386
Is that what she asked you to believe?
123
00:07:07,886 --> 00:07:11,265
Tsk, tsk, tsk. [bell ringing]
124
00:07:11,348 --> 00:07:13,183
Don't let him get to you, darling.
125
00:07:16,145 --> 00:07:18,564
This was on the computer bulletin board?
126
00:07:18,647 --> 00:07:21,316
It was staring at me when I cranked up my
machine this morning.
127
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,403
"An agenda for the future
of St. Crispin's academy,
128
00:07:24,486 --> 00:07:25,821
by James Ryerson."
129
00:07:27,364 --> 00:07:28,782
Jessica, look at this.
130
00:07:28,866 --> 00:07:31,326
This is my plan for changes at the school,
131
00:07:31,410 --> 00:07:33,036
the one I showed you.
Almost word for word.
132
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:34,121
Here.
133
00:07:39,668 --> 00:07:41,753
Well, he seems to have added a few
items of his own.
134
00:07:42,671 --> 00:07:44,464
He proposes slashing the budget
135
00:07:44,548 --> 00:07:48,594
for what he calls "non-essential
courses of study."
136
00:07:49,052 --> 00:07:50,721
Man, the politics around here
137
00:07:50,804 --> 00:07:52,598
make Washington look like a picnic.
138
00:07:52,681 --> 00:07:55,017
Are they always this vicious, Jessica?
139
00:07:55,100 --> 00:07:57,102
Not in my memory, Irv.
140
00:07:57,186 --> 00:07:59,646
I was going to submit this
when I go before the board tomorrow.
141
00:07:59,730 --> 00:08:03,108
This was the only hard copy.
I had it locked in my desk.
142
00:08:03,192 --> 00:08:06,737
That lock looks as if it had been
tampered with.
143
00:08:07,237 --> 00:08:09,615
It's got some fresh scratches on it.
144
00:08:09,990 --> 00:08:12,367
Why, the sneaky son-of-a--
145
00:08:12,451 --> 00:08:16,705
Harry, I'm not so sure it was Ryerson.
146
00:08:17,206 --> 00:08:18,999
A musical question.
147
00:08:19,333 --> 00:08:21,752
Did you ever hear the creeper creeping?
148
00:08:21,835 --> 00:08:24,171
Well, I did. He was hanging around
149
00:08:24,254 --> 00:08:25,172
late last night when I left.
150
00:08:30,427 --> 00:08:32,846
Well, that might explain this, Harry.
151
00:08:34,389 --> 00:08:37,434
Ashes from a cigar in your desk drawer?
152
00:08:37,935 --> 00:08:39,394
Avery Nugent?
153
00:08:40,229 --> 00:08:43,190
But why would he want to help Ryerson
become headmaster?
154
00:08:45,651 --> 00:08:50,405
Sun Tzu was a philosopher and a general
155
00:08:50,822 --> 00:08:55,410
who led the armies of China
to victory 2,500 years ago.
156
00:08:56,286 --> 00:08:59,081
His strategies are contained
in this remarkable book--
157
00:08:59,164 --> 00:09:00,499
The Art of War.
158
00:09:00,999 --> 00:09:03,669
"To succeed, it is necessary
to plan secretly,
159
00:09:03,752 --> 00:09:05,671
"to move surreptitiously,
160
00:09:05,754 --> 00:09:08,757
"to foil the enemy's intentions
and balk his schemes,
161
00:09:09,258 --> 00:09:10,801
"so that the day may be won
162
00:09:10,884 --> 00:09:12,386
without shedding a drop of blood."
163
00:09:12,678 --> 00:09:13,762
[snoring]
164
00:09:14,054 --> 00:09:16,056
These, according to Sun Tzu,
165
00:09:16,139 --> 00:09:17,891
are the tactics of victory.
166
00:09:17,975 --> 00:09:20,269
[bell ringing]
167
00:09:34,783 --> 00:09:36,118
Mr. Forbes!
168
00:09:37,411 --> 00:09:38,328
Yes, Sir?
169
00:09:41,623 --> 00:09:44,084
Were we interrupting your
beauty rest, Mr. Forbes?
170
00:09:44,167 --> 00:09:46,295
'Cause it seems that the art of war
was putting you to sleep.
171
00:09:46,378 --> 00:09:48,880
Not at all, Sir. I was up real late
172
00:09:48,964 --> 00:09:50,173
last night, hitting the books.
173
00:09:50,590 --> 00:09:53,635
Well, some of them may be
about to hit you back.
174
00:09:54,261 --> 00:09:56,388
If you don't score well on my next test,
175
00:09:56,471 --> 00:09:58,724
then, just like the name of this course,
176
00:09:58,807 --> 00:10:00,434
you will be history.
177
00:10:01,351 --> 00:10:02,936
You don't think I listen, but I do.
178
00:10:03,020 --> 00:10:05,063
What you read today I agree with a lot
179
00:10:05,147 --> 00:10:06,356
of what that Chinese fellow wrote.
180
00:10:06,648 --> 00:10:08,233
A lot. But not all?
181
00:10:08,734 --> 00:10:11,445
No. For instance, I believe sometimes
182
00:10:11,528 --> 00:10:13,238
that victory does have
to be won by bloodshed.
183
00:10:14,614 --> 00:10:15,699
You know...
184
00:10:15,782 --> 00:10:18,660
that is the first interesting thing
I've heard you say.
185
00:10:18,952 --> 00:10:20,495
Good. Let me try for another one.
186
00:10:21,288 --> 00:10:23,290
After tomorrow, whether it's you
or Harry Matthews
187
00:10:23,373 --> 00:10:24,583
that ends up as the headmaster,
188
00:10:24,666 --> 00:10:26,752
Dr. Purcell is still gonna be your boss.
189
00:10:26,835 --> 00:10:28,420
And he and my grandfather
190
00:10:28,503 --> 00:10:30,005
go back a very long way.
191
00:10:30,630 --> 00:10:31,965
-Really?
-Yeah.
192
00:10:32,883 --> 00:10:36,720
Mr. Forbes, if you fail my next exam,
193
00:10:37,095 --> 00:10:39,139
then I'm sure your
grandfather will want to know
194
00:10:39,222 --> 00:10:41,475
all about my take on this conversation.
195
00:10:43,226 --> 00:10:44,478
That'll be all, Mr. Forbes.
196
00:10:47,814 --> 00:10:49,691
Naturally, I'm disappointed, sheriff,
197
00:10:50,317 --> 00:10:51,902
but thank you anyway.
198
00:10:51,985 --> 00:10:53,862
[knocking at door]
199
00:10:56,365 --> 00:10:57,699
Oh, Jessica.
200
00:10:57,783 --> 00:10:59,743
Hey, Mrs. F. How's the annual
teaching gig going?
201
00:10:59,826 --> 00:11:01,870
The little monsters
driving you up a wall yet?
202
00:11:01,953 --> 00:11:04,331
So far, only to the baseboard, Mort.
203
00:11:04,414 --> 00:11:06,875
I'll let you know as soon
as I've got anything, Dr. Purcell.
204
00:11:06,958 --> 00:11:09,336
But like I said, I wouldn't
leap to any conclusions.
205
00:11:09,419 --> 00:11:11,088
Thank you.
206
00:11:11,171 --> 00:11:13,423
Jessica, come in, sit down. Thank you.
207
00:11:13,507 --> 00:11:15,675
I'm afraid I only have a minute.
208
00:11:15,759 --> 00:11:19,638
But you indicated you wish to discuss
young Seresino.
209
00:11:19,721 --> 00:11:21,681
Well, I might've expected it,
210
00:11:21,765 --> 00:11:24,017
him being from right here in Cabot Cove.
211
00:11:24,101 --> 00:11:26,812
Well, his father and I
are very old friends.
212
00:11:26,895 --> 00:11:29,147
Ah, yes, yes. The fisherman.
213
00:11:29,231 --> 00:11:33,819
Expelling Mike would break
his heart and his father's.
214
00:11:33,902 --> 00:11:35,529
Well, Mike should have thought of that.
215
00:11:35,612 --> 00:11:37,280
[sighs]
216
00:11:37,364 --> 00:11:39,366
You sound as if you've
already reached a decision.
217
00:11:39,449 --> 00:11:41,868
Yes, I have. Now, Jessica,
218
00:11:41,952 --> 00:11:43,537
you're very friendly with the sheriff,
219
00:11:43,620 --> 00:11:45,247
so you must be aware
220
00:11:45,330 --> 00:11:47,249
there's been a rash of thefts on campus,
221
00:11:47,332 --> 00:11:49,167
both petty and not so petty.
222
00:11:49,251 --> 00:11:51,420
But you're saying that
Mike is responsible?
223
00:11:51,503 --> 00:11:53,213
I was under the impression
224
00:11:53,296 --> 00:11:54,756
that Mort was still looking into it.
225
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,843
Yes, he is. But my own investigations
226
00:11:57,926 --> 00:11:59,511
lead me to Mr. Seresino.
227
00:11:59,594 --> 00:12:01,763
[watch alarm beeping] Jessica, I'm sorry.
228
00:12:01,847 --> 00:12:03,432
Forgive me. I have another appointment.
229
00:12:03,515 --> 00:12:04,850
Will you excuse me?
230
00:12:04,933 --> 00:12:06,893
Myles, I have one request.
231
00:12:06,977 --> 00:12:08,979
Would you hold off for a couple of days?
232
00:12:09,062 --> 00:12:12,023
Give me a chance to try
to get through to Mike.
233
00:12:12,107 --> 00:12:14,901
Well, as a favor to you,
of course, Jessica.
234
00:12:14,985 --> 00:12:16,903
But only two days.
235
00:12:16,987 --> 00:12:18,697
Thank you, Myles.
236
00:12:29,374 --> 00:12:31,209
-Oh!
-What happened?
237
00:12:31,293 --> 00:12:33,879
-You're not expelled?
-No!
238
00:12:33,962 --> 00:12:35,797
Just on restriction till further notice.
239
00:12:35,881 --> 00:12:37,716
Which means I have to stay inside my room
240
00:12:37,799 --> 00:12:40,719
except for classes, food,
meals and my job. That's it.
241
00:12:40,802 --> 00:12:42,596
-Oh, that's fantastic!
-Yeah!
242
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:44,890
Good news, huh?
243
00:12:44,973 --> 00:12:46,766
-Yeah, it went okay.
-Did I tell you?
244
00:12:46,850 --> 00:12:48,435
Now, what do you suppose
245
00:12:48,518 --> 00:12:50,145
this show of interest is really about?
246
00:12:50,228 --> 00:12:52,272
When one of our people is hurting, Tyler,
247
00:12:52,355 --> 00:12:53,982
it concerns me.
248
00:12:54,065 --> 00:12:56,026
[scoffs] You understand that,
don't you, Mike?
249
00:12:56,109 --> 00:12:58,153
Careful, Mike. That sounds like
a trick question.
250
00:12:58,528 --> 00:13:01,990
No tricks. Just a sincere cry for help.
251
00:13:02,073 --> 00:13:03,825
Ryerson is out to bury me, man.
252
00:13:03,909 --> 00:13:05,869
And if I don't score big on his mid-term,
253
00:13:05,952 --> 00:13:08,121
he's gonna flunk me out,
and it's good-bye harvard yard.
254
00:13:08,205 --> 00:13:09,831
Yeah? Well, what's this
got to do with me, Colin?
255
00:13:10,207 --> 00:13:11,583
You'll have to make another midnight run.
256
00:13:11,875 --> 00:13:13,793
I've gotta get an advance copy
of that exam.
257
00:13:13,877 --> 00:13:15,879
You can't, Mike. Dr. Purcell
258
00:13:16,254 --> 00:13:17,589
Sarah, I can handle this, okay?
259
00:13:20,217 --> 00:13:21,551
Look, Colin, uh...
260
00:13:22,385 --> 00:13:23,595
I really hate to say no to you, but
261
00:13:23,678 --> 00:13:25,555
-Then don't.
-But I'm gonna have to.
262
00:13:26,515 --> 00:13:27,891
Find another solution to your problem.
263
00:13:28,266 --> 00:13:31,353
-Hold it, Mike. You owe me.
-for what?
264
00:13:31,728 --> 00:13:33,480
Who do you think got you
off the hook with purcell?
265
00:13:33,855 --> 00:13:36,191
Of course he's not gonna tell you--
he already did.
266
00:13:36,274 --> 00:13:37,859
See, it was Mrs. Fletcher
who saved my butt.
267
00:13:39,069 --> 00:13:40,320
Colin, I've just decided
268
00:13:40,695 --> 00:13:42,531
you can take your society and shove it.
269
00:13:42,906 --> 00:13:44,908
-Oh!
-Come on, Sarah.
270
00:13:44,991 --> 00:13:46,826
You're gonna live to regret that, Tyler.
271
00:13:46,910 --> 00:13:48,787
Mike! Seresino!
272
00:13:52,666 --> 00:13:54,501
Yeah. A nickel on yale.
273
00:13:55,835 --> 00:13:57,087
A dime on navy.
274
00:13:57,170 --> 00:13:59,422
And another dime on St. Crispin by 10.
275
00:14:00,674 --> 00:14:01,800
No, I just have a hunch.
276
00:14:02,717 --> 00:14:06,137
Yeah. No, I'm supporting the home team.
277
00:14:06,221 --> 00:14:07,889
Yeah, of course I'm good for it.
278
00:14:07,973 --> 00:14:09,766
Avery? Avery?
279
00:14:10,767 --> 00:14:11,810
Avery!
280
00:14:13,061 --> 00:14:14,563
Avery, I'm talking to you.
281
00:14:14,646 --> 00:14:16,147
-I'm not talking to you!
-Yes, you are.
282
00:14:16,231 --> 00:14:17,816
You owe me an explanation.
283
00:14:17,899 --> 00:14:19,859
Why did you steal my material and
give it to Ryerson?
284
00:14:19,943 --> 00:14:22,320
I don't know what the hell you're
talking about, Matthews.
285
00:14:22,404 --> 00:14:24,406
-Now you let go of me!
-Excuse me!
286
00:14:24,489 --> 00:14:26,116
I'm sorry already. I thought we were
friends--
287
00:14:26,199 --> 00:14:28,118
All right, all right! Come on, you two.
288
00:14:28,201 --> 00:14:30,787
-What's the problem?
-Nothing.
289
00:14:31,371 --> 00:14:32,872
A misunderstanding, that's all.
290
00:14:32,956 --> 00:14:34,833
It was nothing. Look, I've gotta go.
291
00:14:34,916 --> 00:14:37,085
I've got a class in about three minutes.
292
00:14:37,168 --> 00:14:38,753
See you at the social, Harry.
293
00:14:38,837 --> 00:14:40,297
Yeah. Of course.
294
00:14:40,380 --> 00:14:42,507
[bell ringing]
295
00:14:42,591 --> 00:14:45,010
Mr. Matthews, no games.
What was that really about?
296
00:14:50,682 --> 00:14:52,517
Sheriff, damned if I know.
297
00:15:03,486 --> 00:15:04,988
[soft music playing]
298
00:15:05,071 --> 00:15:06,781
[people chattering]
299
00:15:06,865 --> 00:15:08,700
[laughing]
300
00:15:10,118 --> 00:15:12,037
I'm gonna get you for this.
301
00:15:13,538 --> 00:15:15,707
Barbara, you need a refill.
302
00:15:19,419 --> 00:15:22,797
Face it, Harry, good ideas seem
to float around
303
00:15:22,881 --> 00:15:24,257
in the ether at the same time.
304
00:15:24,341 --> 00:15:26,551
It's like back in the '40s,
305
00:15:26,635 --> 00:15:28,762
when physicists were learning to
split atoms.
306
00:15:28,845 --> 00:15:30,805
It's called synchronicity.
307
00:15:30,889 --> 00:15:33,516
That was. This is theft.
308
00:15:33,892 --> 00:15:35,602
Why don't you take your accusations
309
00:15:35,685 --> 00:15:37,479
to Myles Purcell and the board?
310
00:15:37,562 --> 00:15:39,814
I'm sure they'll be intrigued
311
00:15:39,898 --> 00:15:41,983
to learn the extent of your fantasies.
312
00:15:51,201 --> 00:15:52,452
Look, I'm working.
313
00:15:52,535 --> 00:15:55,830
So am I.. as a guest you should be
extra kind to
314
00:15:55,914 --> 00:15:57,582
because if word gets out
315
00:15:57,666 --> 00:15:59,250
who stole that laptop computer from
316
00:15:59,334 --> 00:16:01,294
You did that, all right?
317
00:16:01,378 --> 00:16:03,421
All I did was stand lookout for you,
if word gets out
318
00:16:03,505 --> 00:16:06,383
all you were gonna do was chalk some
graffiti on the blackboard.
319
00:16:06,466 --> 00:16:09,177
Look Seresino, you run this little
errand for me,
320
00:16:09,260 --> 00:16:11,888
and I promise you the laptop computer
won't show up
321
00:16:11,971 --> 00:16:13,515
among your belongings with
your fingerprints on it.
322
00:16:14,349 --> 00:16:16,267
Remember the plastic gloves
323
00:16:16,351 --> 00:16:17,268
I said I had to wear 'cause I had a rash?
324
00:16:17,811 --> 00:16:19,312
I didn't have a rash, Mike.
325
00:16:20,230 --> 00:16:22,023
Oh, you wouldn't do this to me.
326
00:16:23,358 --> 00:16:25,944
Believe me, Mike, I'd hate myself.
327
00:16:26,027 --> 00:16:28,613
But my grandfather would hate me more if
I fail Ryerson's class.
328
00:16:29,572 --> 00:16:32,534
Hey, it's your choice, lowly one.
329
00:16:33,243 --> 00:16:35,829
[people clapping]
330
00:16:43,128 --> 00:16:44,713
I don't know, people.
331
00:16:44,796 --> 00:16:47,340
You write one decent song,
they don't let you forget it.
332
00:16:47,424 --> 00:16:48,842
Well, I certainly haven't.
333
00:16:49,509 --> 00:16:52,095
Love is like this was one of Frank
and my favorites.
334
00:16:52,178 --> 00:16:54,097
All right, all right. [clears throat]
335
00:16:54,180 --> 00:16:56,391
Hope I remember it. [laughs]
336
00:16:56,474 --> 00:16:58,643
[playing piano]
337
00:17:13,408 --> 00:17:15,452
[man laughs] Thanks, Mike.
338
00:17:18,788 --> 00:17:19,622
Excuse me.
339
00:17:22,751 --> 00:17:24,586
-Mike?
-Hey, Jessica.
340
00:17:24,669 --> 00:17:26,087
Look, I'll get back to you in a minute.
341
00:17:26,171 --> 00:17:28,047
Uh, Mike. Now. Please.
342
00:17:28,131 --> 00:17:30,175
Listen, I've left several
messages for you.
343
00:17:30,258 --> 00:17:31,801
Well, I've been really busy this week.
344
00:17:31,885 --> 00:17:33,178
I'll get back to you tomorrow, okay?
345
00:17:33,261 --> 00:17:35,013
That may be too late.
346
00:17:35,096 --> 00:17:37,182
Sarah tells me that Colin Forbes
347
00:17:37,265 --> 00:17:40,393
is pressuring you again to
run another errand for him.
348
00:17:40,477 --> 00:17:42,061
Sarah talks too much.
349
00:17:42,145 --> 00:17:43,855
Listen, Mike, I--
350
00:17:43,938 --> 00:17:45,982
I know how badly you want to succeed here,
351
00:17:46,065 --> 00:17:48,735
to make your father happy. And I don't
believe for a minute
352
00:17:48,818 --> 00:17:50,361
that you're responsible for these thefts
353
00:17:50,445 --> 00:17:52,197
that sheriff Metzger is investigating.
354
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,449
But I can't help you
if you don't tell me--
355
00:17:54,532 --> 00:17:56,034
Jessica, I've gotta go, okay?
356
00:17:56,117 --> 00:17:58,495
Thanks, really. I'll be okay.
357
00:18:00,371 --> 00:18:02,207
Sorry.
358
00:18:02,290 --> 00:18:04,542
The kid looks like he's got about as much
hope as I do.
359
00:18:04,626 --> 00:18:07,253
And cigar ash alone isn't enough to prove
360
00:18:07,337 --> 00:18:10,006
that Ryerson put Nugent up
to steal your paper.
361
00:18:10,089 --> 00:18:14,052
I'm afraid not. Maybe I could tie Jim down
362
00:18:14,135 --> 00:18:16,721
and torture him into admitting it.
363
00:18:16,805 --> 00:18:18,598
[people clapping]
364
00:18:20,850 --> 00:18:23,353
[grunts]
365
00:18:23,436 --> 00:18:26,189
You really should watch where
you're going there, old man.
366
00:18:27,899 --> 00:18:30,401
Leave it alone. I can take care of it.
367
00:18:30,485 --> 00:18:32,320
Can you?
368
00:18:32,403 --> 00:18:34,113
You're not thinking
about going along with--
369
00:18:34,197 --> 00:18:36,115
Just leave me alone, please!
370
00:18:45,959 --> 00:18:48,169
All right. What is it?
371
00:18:48,253 --> 00:18:49,838
You know damn well what it is.
372
00:18:49,921 --> 00:18:51,381
It's about you destroying Harry.
373
00:18:51,464 --> 00:18:52,465
Destroying?
374
00:18:53,258 --> 00:18:55,134
Aren't we being a bit
melodramatic, Claire?
375
00:18:55,218 --> 00:18:56,803
It's about winning, that's all.
376
00:18:56,886 --> 00:18:59,180
I don't think that's all it is
377
00:18:59,264 --> 00:19:01,099
Don't flatter yourself, sweetheart.
378
00:19:01,182 --> 00:19:03,893
Not that I can fault you for your ego.
379
00:19:04,811 --> 00:19:06,062
You're a very desirable woman,
380
00:19:06,145 --> 00:19:08,064
but we've been over and done with
ever since you decided
381
00:19:08,147 --> 00:19:10,316
you needed a father-figure
instead of a lover.
382
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:11,943
You obviously want something,
383
00:19:12,026 --> 00:19:13,611
so I just suggest you get to it.
384
00:19:13,695 --> 00:19:16,364
Jim, what I wanted was for Harry Matthews
385
00:19:16,447 --> 00:19:18,116
to get the headmaster's job
386
00:19:18,199 --> 00:19:19,868
Or not get it on his merits.
387
00:19:19,951 --> 00:19:21,703
But since that's no longer possible
388
00:19:21,786 --> 00:19:24,455
because you stole his paper and his ideas,
389
00:19:24,539 --> 00:19:26,583
I'm asking you to do the decent thing
390
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,002
and withdraw yourself from consideration.
391
00:19:29,085 --> 00:19:30,169
I figured.
392
00:19:30,795 --> 00:19:33,631
Jim, it's been his dream.
393
00:19:33,715 --> 00:19:37,760
It is killing him to lose,
especially this way.
394
00:19:40,847 --> 00:19:42,932
Okay. I could do that.
395
00:19:43,016 --> 00:19:45,226
Harry isn't going to last forever.
396
00:19:46,853 --> 00:19:48,688
But there is a price.
397
00:19:49,147 --> 00:19:50,148
No.
398
00:19:50,732 --> 00:19:53,526
Loyalty. I admire the hell
out of that, Claire.
399
00:19:53,776 --> 00:19:55,403
I'm not asking you to dump him.
400
00:19:55,486 --> 00:19:57,238
We simply become lovers again.
401
00:19:57,322 --> 00:19:59,407
It's better when it's illicit,
don't you think?
402
00:19:59,490 --> 00:20:01,242
God, you really are a pig.
403
00:20:01,326 --> 00:20:02,785
Let go of me, damn it!
404
00:20:02,869 --> 00:20:04,454
The board makes its decision tomorrow.
405
00:20:04,537 --> 00:20:06,080
You have until tomorrow
morning to make yours.
406
00:20:06,164 --> 00:20:08,917
Don't say no, baby.
407
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:10,835
You just sleep on it.
408
00:20:12,670 --> 00:20:14,881
And when you do, promise me
409
00:20:14,964 --> 00:20:17,550
that you'll think about the way we were,
410
00:20:17,634 --> 00:20:20,094
the way we could be.
411
00:20:20,178 --> 00:20:22,347
I don't have to, Jim.
412
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,100
I'll stop by your place about midnight.
413
00:20:35,109 --> 00:20:36,527
[gasps]
414
00:20:36,611 --> 00:20:38,196
[crying]
415
00:20:42,325 --> 00:20:43,159
Hello, Harry.
416
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,796
Credit card bills for miss Desmond.
417
00:20:54,879 --> 00:20:56,506
Nothing for you, Harry.
418
00:20:56,589 --> 00:20:59,175
Another catalog for Ryerson.
419
00:20:59,258 --> 00:21:01,260
Envelope for Mr. Nugent.
420
00:21:01,344 --> 00:21:05,264
Oh, I didn't know you knew
anybody at I.R.S., Avery?
421
00:21:05,348 --> 00:21:09,435
And an envelope from A.S.C.A.P.
for yours truly.
422
00:21:09,519 --> 00:21:13,272
Yes. Yet another royalty check
for my golden oldie.
423
00:21:13,356 --> 00:21:15,775
Cocktails will be on moi, kiddies.
424
00:21:15,858 --> 00:21:17,860
Would that I could come up with
a platinum record
425
00:21:17,944 --> 00:21:20,238
someone would keep paying me for
indefinitely.
426
00:21:20,321 --> 00:21:21,823
[woman] Amen!
427
00:21:28,830 --> 00:21:30,081
Any news, Harry?
428
00:21:30,164 --> 00:21:32,625
Oh, not a word, Jess.
429
00:21:32,709 --> 00:21:35,294
[phone ringing]
430
00:21:42,135 --> 00:21:44,887
Harry hasn't been picking up any of his
phone calls, Jessica.
431
00:21:48,725 --> 00:21:49,726
Hello? [chatter]
432
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,854
yes, he's here. would you like to
speak with him?
433
00:21:53,646 --> 00:21:55,690
well, I'll tell him. thank you.
434
00:21:57,984 --> 00:21:59,986
president Purcell's office.
435
00:22:00,069 --> 00:22:00,987
he wants to see you.
436
00:22:02,697 --> 00:22:04,323
-both of us?
-just Harry.
437
00:22:10,830 --> 00:22:12,040
good luck, pal.
438
00:22:17,003 --> 00:22:19,464
so you see, many of
our best mystery novelists
439
00:22:19,547 --> 00:22:23,009
were actually writing out of
their own personal experiences.
440
00:22:23,259 --> 00:22:24,635
how about Jackie Collins?
441
00:22:24,719 --> 00:22:25,928
[all snickering]
442
00:22:26,179 --> 00:22:27,597
well, miss Collins
443
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,265
doesn't actually write mysteries.
444
00:22:29,348 --> 00:22:31,642
but I understand that she was an actress
445
00:22:31,726 --> 00:22:33,853
before she began writing about Hollywood.
446
00:22:34,103 --> 00:22:35,688
I didn't know that.
447
00:22:35,772 --> 00:22:38,024
well, Colin then by accident,
448
00:22:38,107 --> 00:22:39,692
we have taught the class something.
449
00:22:39,776 --> 00:22:41,069
[all laughing]
450
00:22:41,152 --> 00:22:44,030
[Myles on PA] Attention,
faculty and students.
451
00:22:44,113 --> 00:22:46,407
this is president Purcell announcing that,
452
00:22:46,491 --> 00:22:48,451
effective immediately,
453
00:22:48,534 --> 00:22:51,537
the school board has selected
a new headmaster.
454
00:22:51,621 --> 00:22:54,290
i'm sure you all join me in congratulating
455
00:22:54,373 --> 00:22:56,250
Mr. James Ryerson.
456
00:22:56,334 --> 00:22:57,460
oh! way to go, Ryerson!
457
00:23:09,222 --> 00:23:10,264
Harry...
458
00:23:11,349 --> 00:23:13,643
I tried calling you all night.
459
00:23:14,143 --> 00:23:15,478
I guess these days...
460
00:23:16,437 --> 00:23:18,606
you just can't count
on anything working out.
461
00:23:18,856 --> 00:23:20,650
no, you don't understand.
462
00:23:21,943 --> 00:23:24,487
I never went to Jim's.
463
00:23:24,570 --> 00:23:26,280
I couldn't.
464
00:23:26,364 --> 00:23:27,490
thanks.
465
00:23:28,574 --> 00:23:29,700
probably would've been better if you had.
466
00:23:29,784 --> 00:23:30,993
at least you'd have been with a winner.
467
00:23:31,244 --> 00:23:32,245
Harry, no.
468
00:23:32,912 --> 00:23:35,498
all I ever wanted was you.
469
00:23:36,958 --> 00:23:39,418
besides, he'll get his somehow.
470
00:23:40,545 --> 00:23:41,879
look, this doesn't change anything.
471
00:23:41,963 --> 00:23:44,090
nonsense. everything's changed.
472
00:23:46,509 --> 00:23:49,345
even Myles Purcell voted for him, Claire.
473
00:23:50,513 --> 00:23:53,891
a man I've worked with,
474
00:23:53,975 --> 00:23:55,560
I've played bridge and tennis with
475
00:23:55,643 --> 00:23:58,354
for nearly 20 years. and he
476
00:24:00,731 --> 00:24:02,233
Myles called me into his office
477
00:24:02,316 --> 00:24:03,651
so he could tell me to my face
478
00:24:03,734 --> 00:24:05,611
how he recommended that the board
479
00:24:05,695 --> 00:24:07,280
give the job to Ryerson.
480
00:24:07,822 --> 00:24:10,324
there are other jobs.
there are other schools.
481
00:24:12,910 --> 00:24:17,582
yeah. and a huge demand for aging losers.
482
00:24:17,665 --> 00:24:19,500
Harry, no.
483
00:24:19,584 --> 00:24:22,295
don't turn your anger against yourself.
484
00:24:22,378 --> 00:24:24,213
let it out...
485
00:24:24,297 --> 00:24:26,257
towards the man who deserves it.
486
00:24:27,341 --> 00:24:29,844
let me go with you, Harry. please.
487
00:24:41,063 --> 00:24:42,398
[Metzger] I don't know
that I like what's going on
488
00:24:42,481 --> 00:24:43,816
out at that school lately.
489
00:24:44,066 --> 00:24:45,943
and now these thefts are escalating
490
00:24:46,027 --> 00:24:47,445
beyond just pranks.
491
00:24:47,528 --> 00:24:48,988
I know. I heard.
492
00:24:49,071 --> 00:24:50,698
an expensive laptop computer.
493
00:24:51,407 --> 00:24:52,533
yeah. did you manage to have
494
00:24:52,617 --> 00:24:54,160
your little talk with Mike Seresino?
495
00:24:54,410 --> 00:24:56,662
no, and that is as frustrating
496
00:24:56,746 --> 00:24:58,581
as the situation with Harry.
497
00:24:58,831 --> 00:25:00,583
yeah. I better be goin'.
498
00:25:00,666 --> 00:25:02,877
[piano music playing]
499
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:04,921
isn't that love is like this?
500
00:25:05,171 --> 00:25:08,966
yes. Irv Tripler's old recording
501
00:25:09,050 --> 00:25:10,927
from some 20 years back.
502
00:25:12,011 --> 00:25:14,347
hearing him made me dig it out.
503
00:25:14,597 --> 00:25:16,015
bringing back a few memories.
504
00:25:16,265 --> 00:25:18,351
whew. I should say.
505
00:25:27,485 --> 00:25:29,528
[door closes]
506
00:25:29,612 --> 00:25:31,405
[footsteps pattering]
507
00:25:40,456 --> 00:25:44,293
Sarah? what are you doing here?
508
00:25:44,377 --> 00:25:47,171
taking a final shot at talking some sense
into you.
509
00:25:47,255 --> 00:25:48,965
yeah. well, forget it, all right?
510
00:25:49,048 --> 00:25:50,299
you've gotta get the hell out of here.
511
00:25:50,383 --> 00:25:53,177
no. I'm not going unless you do.
512
00:25:53,261 --> 00:25:55,304
Mike, this can ruin your chances
513
00:25:55,388 --> 00:25:57,265
of ever getting into a decent college.
514
00:25:57,515 --> 00:25:59,517
it could ruin your life, for god's sake.
515
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,394
let Colin do his own dirty work.
516
00:26:01,602 --> 00:26:03,479
he doesn't have to. he's got me.
517
00:26:03,562 --> 00:26:06,065
he's bluffing. he can't blame that
computer theft on you
518
00:26:06,148 --> 00:26:07,733
without incriminating himself.
519
00:26:07,817 --> 00:26:10,027
I can't take that chance
right now, all right?
520
00:26:10,111 --> 00:26:12,196
if I get him a copy of Ryerson's test,
521
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,282
he gives me back the laptop,
I wipe it clean,
522
00:26:14,365 --> 00:26:16,742
I put it back and then I'm safe
and through with Colin forever.
523
00:26:18,327 --> 00:26:20,746
fine. then I'm helping you.
524
00:26:44,270 --> 00:26:47,106
looks like they were celebrating
Mr. Ryerson's promotion.
525
00:26:47,189 --> 00:26:48,566
yeah.
526
00:26:52,695 --> 00:26:54,822
they party hearty, don't they?
527
00:27:16,385 --> 00:27:18,054
[gasps]
528
00:27:18,137 --> 00:27:19,180
Mike!
529
00:27:33,986 --> 00:27:36,113
[Sarah gasping]
530
00:27:36,697 --> 00:27:39,367
it's Mr. Ryerson. what should we do?
531
00:27:39,617 --> 00:27:41,869
for starters, we should
get the hell out of here.
532
00:27:42,578 --> 00:27:43,662
come on.
533
00:28:03,057 --> 00:28:05,518
[man] Come on. We need that over here now.
534
00:28:06,685 --> 00:28:08,938
Can't I just go to my desk and get
my lesson plans?
535
00:28:09,021 --> 00:28:11,190
It's right there on top.
I won't touch anything else.
536
00:28:11,273 --> 00:28:13,234
Sorry, Mr. Tripler, no one's allowed
into the crime scene
537
00:28:13,317 --> 00:28:15,194
until the forensic team signs off.
538
00:28:17,988 --> 00:28:20,950
So you discovered the body at 6:30
when you came to work.
539
00:28:21,033 --> 00:28:22,576
Do classes start that early?
540
00:28:22,660 --> 00:28:24,078
I had trouble sleeping.
541
00:28:24,161 --> 00:28:25,287
the door was locked.
542
00:28:25,371 --> 00:28:27,581
no, I have a key. we all do.
543
00:28:27,665 --> 00:28:29,625
when I came in, my first thought
544
00:28:29,708 --> 00:28:31,627
was that the place had been burglarized,
545
00:28:31,710 --> 00:28:33,212
and then I saw Mr. Ryerson.
546
00:28:33,295 --> 00:28:35,214
excuse me, sheriff. it's Mrs. Fletcher.
547
00:28:35,297 --> 00:28:37,299
Harry Matthews just
showed up on her doorstep.
548
00:28:37,383 --> 00:28:38,676
gotcha.
549
00:28:40,553 --> 00:28:42,596
uh, I was...
550
00:28:43,973 --> 00:28:45,724
the blue raven inn.
551
00:28:45,808 --> 00:28:49,770
I think they closed around midnight.
552
00:28:49,854 --> 00:28:53,232
I guess I got in my car somehow.
553
00:28:53,315 --> 00:28:56,318
I remember thinking
I shouldn't be driving.
554
00:28:57,820 --> 00:28:59,447
anyway, I...
555
00:29:00,573 --> 00:29:02,950
must've pulled off the side of the road
556
00:29:04,618 --> 00:29:08,289
and fallen asleep or passed out.
557
00:29:08,914 --> 00:29:11,917
and that's where I woke up this morning
out on route 17.
558
00:29:13,419 --> 00:29:15,671
Ryerson was killed between
midnight and 3 a.m.
559
00:29:19,258 --> 00:29:21,469
well, I'm afraid that's the best I can do
560
00:29:21,552 --> 00:29:23,262
in the alibi department.
561
00:29:25,139 --> 00:29:25,973
how was he killed?
562
00:29:26,348 --> 00:29:27,892
he was struck on the side of the head
563
00:29:27,975 --> 00:29:32,271
by a heavy pointed object
that broke his skull.
564
00:29:32,354 --> 00:29:33,939
we haven't been able to
find the weapon yet.
565
00:29:34,023 --> 00:29:34,899
was there a struggle?
566
00:29:35,816 --> 00:29:37,359
enough to knock over
some things in his office.
567
00:29:41,363 --> 00:29:45,826
I seem to have skinned
my knuckles somewhere.
568
00:29:46,368 --> 00:29:50,039
you have any better
suspects than me, Mort?
569
00:29:50,873 --> 00:29:52,124
not so far, Harry.
570
00:29:54,793 --> 00:29:57,213
looks like a lot of
Ryerson's files are missing.
571
00:29:57,296 --> 00:29:59,798
yes. including a blue file
572
00:29:59,882 --> 00:30:02,301
that Mr. Ryerson tried to conceal
from me yesterday
573
00:30:02,384 --> 00:30:04,345
when I walked past him.
574
00:30:04,428 --> 00:30:06,555
Mort, you said that the office door lock
575
00:30:06,639 --> 00:30:07,973
had been picked.
576
00:30:08,057 --> 00:30:11,227
yeah. oh, yeah.
577
00:30:11,310 --> 00:30:13,354
that's good. this lock, uh--
578
00:30:13,437 --> 00:30:14,939
this lock was forced, not picked.
579
00:30:16,190 --> 00:30:17,942
meaning the intruder
was either in a hurry or--
580
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,236
or there was more than one intruder.
581
00:30:21,278 --> 00:30:22,821
now, the struggle happened here.
582
00:30:22,905 --> 00:30:26,575
Mr. Ryerson was hit or pushed,
583
00:30:26,659 --> 00:30:28,410
and when he fell back onto this desk,
584
00:30:28,494 --> 00:30:29,828
everything went on the floor.
585
00:30:29,912 --> 00:30:32,081
co-mingling with the debris
from Ryerson's party.
586
00:30:32,164 --> 00:30:33,999
we bagged everything for the lab.
587
00:30:34,083 --> 00:30:36,252
well, not quite.
588
00:30:42,258 --> 00:30:44,468
looks like it's from some kind of
a mechanical device.
589
00:30:44,552 --> 00:30:46,303
well, in a way, you're right.
590
00:30:46,387 --> 00:30:49,682
it's from a little, tiny bicycle.
591
00:30:51,100 --> 00:30:52,476
say again, Mrs. F?
592
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,311
so why'd you ask us to come here for?
593
00:30:55,604 --> 00:30:58,274
because a deal's a deal,
exactly as I promised.
594
00:30:59,817 --> 00:31:01,318
I think all your prints are off.
595
00:31:02,611 --> 00:31:04,321
but you're welcome to rub some more
if you want.
596
00:31:06,365 --> 00:31:07,825
yeah. but I never brought you the exam.
597
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:09,827
I'm not asking any questions.
598
00:31:12,162 --> 00:31:13,998
I hear a bunch of Ryerson's files
are missing,
599
00:31:14,081 --> 00:31:16,333
including his grade book
and his mid-term.
600
00:31:16,417 --> 00:31:20,838
so I guess everyone's passing history
this year, huh?
601
00:31:21,964 --> 00:31:23,632
now, wait a second.
602
00:31:23,716 --> 00:31:25,467
you don't think that I killed Mr. Ryerson.
603
00:31:26,510 --> 00:31:28,345
stuff happens, seresino.
604
00:31:28,929 --> 00:31:32,099
I'll be accepted at Harvard way before
they sort all this out.
605
00:31:32,641 --> 00:31:34,184
yeah. well, suppose that I tell you
606
00:31:34,268 --> 00:31:36,228
I never went near the building
last night.
607
00:31:38,564 --> 00:31:40,024
Tyler here, have a couple of clones
608
00:31:40,107 --> 00:31:41,400
running around the campus at night.
609
00:31:41,692 --> 00:31:43,193
but whatever you say,
610
00:31:43,277 --> 00:31:44,862
you guys were acting like true members
611
00:31:44,945 --> 00:31:46,614
of the society last night.
612
00:31:46,697 --> 00:31:48,532
we protect our own.
613
00:31:48,616 --> 00:31:50,367
even you, Tyler.
614
00:31:50,451 --> 00:31:52,369
it's a pity you've chosen to reject us.
615
00:31:52,453 --> 00:31:54,246
come on, Mike. let's get out of here.
616
00:31:54,330 --> 00:31:56,582
yeah. get this back to where it belongs.
617
00:32:00,044 --> 00:32:03,589
by the way, Colin, what were you doing
out there last night?
618
00:32:12,056 --> 00:32:14,600
[Jessica] The reason we asked you
to stop by, Sarah,
619
00:32:14,933 --> 00:32:16,560
is that I recovered something of yours
620
00:32:16,644 --> 00:32:18,937
and I wanted to return it to you.
621
00:32:19,021 --> 00:32:20,606
it's this tiny wheel.
622
00:32:20,689 --> 00:32:22,358
I believe it's off your charm bracelet.
623
00:32:22,441 --> 00:32:25,569
yes. from this little, tiny bicycle.
624
00:32:27,154 --> 00:32:29,114
the sheriff and I found it.
625
00:32:31,533 --> 00:32:33,118
1in the faculty office.
626
00:32:33,202 --> 00:32:34,495
you were there last night.
627
00:32:35,454 --> 00:32:38,165
I was gonna steal
Mr. Ryerson's mid-term exam.
628
00:32:38,916 --> 00:32:41,085
but when I got inside,
Mr. Ryerson was dead.
629
00:32:42,503 --> 00:32:44,880
I got scared, so I ran.
630
00:32:44,963 --> 00:32:47,841
and I was too scared
to tell anyone I was there.
631
00:32:48,342 --> 00:32:49,343
I'm so sorry.
632
00:32:50,094 --> 00:32:51,595
and who was with you, Sarah?
633
00:32:52,179 --> 00:32:53,055
no one.
634
00:32:54,098 --> 00:32:55,140
[Mike] It was me.
635
00:32:58,102 --> 00:32:59,603
nice try, Sarah.
636
00:33:01,230 --> 00:33:02,773
thanks. but, uh...
637
00:33:03,649 --> 00:33:06,068
I'm the one you guys need to talk to.
638
00:33:06,819 --> 00:33:09,154
it's me who broke into
the faculty office last night.
639
00:33:10,406 --> 00:33:11,615
for Colin Forbes?
640
00:33:12,282 --> 00:33:13,784
yeah, he was forcing me to.
641
00:33:14,743 --> 00:33:17,246
Miss Tyler is still an accomplice, okay?
642
00:33:18,497 --> 00:33:19,581
now, tell me what the two of you saw
643
00:33:19,665 --> 00:33:21,875
when you went inside, and tell me exactly.
644
00:33:23,085 --> 00:33:27,423
we didn't turn on the lights, but we
had a flashlight.
645
00:33:27,506 --> 00:33:29,258
and we could see right away the place
was pretty messed up
646
00:33:29,341 --> 00:33:30,968
from Mr. Ryerson's party.
647
00:33:31,552 --> 00:33:32,928
there was stuff all over the floor.
648
00:33:33,387 --> 00:33:34,805
um, a phone... papers, trash,
649
00:33:35,472 --> 00:33:38,058
a wastepaper basket had been kicked over.
650
00:33:38,434 --> 00:33:40,436
yeah. there were test papers, um...
651
00:33:41,228 --> 00:33:45,190
pencils, Mr. Tripler's framed
platinum record.
652
00:33:45,983 --> 00:33:46,942
that desk blotter.
653
00:33:48,444 --> 00:33:49,945
and Mr. Ryerson.
654
00:33:50,738 --> 00:33:51,947
did you happen to notice
655
00:33:52,030 --> 00:33:54,825
if Mr. Ryerson's file drawer was open?
656
00:33:55,409 --> 00:33:56,869
I don't think so.
657
00:33:57,619 --> 00:33:59,413
not when we were in there, at least. no.
658
00:34:00,414 --> 00:34:04,418
well, I want to thank you
for coming by, Mike.
659
00:34:05,002 --> 00:34:07,254
actually, I was just about
to go looking for you.
660
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:11,091
we lifted a thumbprint
off the office door lock
661
00:34:11,175 --> 00:34:13,010
that the d.m.v. identified as yours.
662
00:34:13,844 --> 00:34:15,596
[sighs] I guess I'm not
as smart as I thought I was.
663
00:34:17,848 --> 00:34:19,975
this will get me kicked out
of st. crispin's, isn't it?
664
00:34:21,935 --> 00:34:23,687
well, it's interesting.
665
00:34:23,771 --> 00:34:25,939
I just got a call from St. Crispin's.
666
00:34:26,690 --> 00:34:29,902
seems that a laptop computer
that they'd reported stolen
667
00:34:29,985 --> 00:34:32,029
was returned, anonymously.
668
00:34:33,989 --> 00:34:36,825
besides, so many people going
in and out of that office
669
00:34:37,409 --> 00:34:38,702
that it'd be kinda hard to pinpoint
670
00:34:38,786 --> 00:34:40,412
exactly when you touched the lock.
671
00:34:43,290 --> 00:34:45,167
it should never have gone anywhere else.
672
00:34:46,001 --> 00:34:47,169
the job should be yours.
673
00:34:47,795 --> 00:34:49,129
I hope you will accept mine
674
00:34:49,213 --> 00:34:50,589
and the board's apology.
675
00:34:51,340 --> 00:34:54,927
Myles, Jim Ryerson victimized both of us.
676
00:34:55,552 --> 00:34:57,554
hmm, and apparently a lot of other people.
677
00:34:58,263 --> 00:35:01,850
anyway, the board has unanimously
authorized me
678
00:35:01,934 --> 00:35:04,311
to offer you the post of headmaster.
679
00:35:05,771 --> 00:35:07,439
I very much hope you'll accept, Harry.
680
00:35:08,398 --> 00:35:09,316
of course.
681
00:35:09,399 --> 00:35:10,818
[knocking at door]
682
00:35:11,777 --> 00:35:12,861
come in.
683
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:16,740
I hate to barge in on you, gentlemen,
684
00:35:16,824 --> 00:35:18,784
but I thought you'd like to know,
Dr. Purcell--
685
00:35:19,117 --> 00:35:22,496
we just found a bunch of Mr. Ryerson's
missing files,
686
00:35:22,871 --> 00:35:24,164
several of them with blood smears on them.
687
00:35:24,790 --> 00:35:25,666
where'd you find them?
688
00:35:27,835 --> 00:35:28,919
in your locker, Harry.
689
00:35:30,379 --> 00:35:31,713
I wish I didn't have to do this.
690
00:35:31,964 --> 00:35:34,007
but I'm gonna have to hold you for the
murder of Jim Ryerson.
691
00:35:46,937 --> 00:35:49,147
look, Mrs. F, I don't
like it adding up this way
692
00:35:49,231 --> 00:35:50,482
any more than you do.
693
00:35:50,566 --> 00:35:52,985
but motive-- both Harry and Ryerson
694
00:35:53,068 --> 00:35:55,112
wanted the same job. Ryerson wins it.
695
00:35:55,529 --> 00:35:57,030
by trickery and deceit.
696
00:35:57,364 --> 00:36:01,034
opportunity. Harry's got
less than no alibi.
697
00:36:01,118 --> 00:36:02,369
witnesses down at the blue raven
698
00:36:02,452 --> 00:36:04,538
heard him threatening to kill Ryerson.
699
00:36:04,621 --> 00:36:07,833
and he leaves the bar early enough to
commit the murder.
700
00:36:07,916 --> 00:36:10,586
and how about those knuckles? skinned
like they'd been in a fight.
701
00:36:10,669 --> 00:36:13,171
and now we find missing
items from Ryerson's files
702
00:36:13,255 --> 00:36:14,965
hidden in Harry's locker with blood on it.
703
00:36:15,048 --> 00:36:18,218
look, Harry could've skinned his knuckles
almost anywhere.
704
00:36:19,553 --> 00:36:22,931
okay, but let's say that
Harry walks into the office,
705
00:36:23,015 --> 00:36:24,558
Ryerson is there.
706
00:36:24,641 --> 00:36:26,101
one ugly word leads to another.
707
00:36:26,435 --> 00:36:29,771
excuse me, Mort, but why
is that folder blue?
708
00:36:30,606 --> 00:36:33,317
blue? oh, it's state police.
709
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:34,985
a case we're working on together.
710
00:36:35,068 --> 00:36:37,321
we do our folders in Brown,
they do blue. why?
711
00:36:37,863 --> 00:36:39,740
that's the kind of file that Mr. Ryerson
712
00:36:39,823 --> 00:36:41,408
was trying to conceal the other day,
713
00:36:41,491 --> 00:36:43,285
only his was worn and much older.
714
00:36:44,786 --> 00:36:45,913
okay.
715
00:36:45,996 --> 00:36:47,623
let's assume for a minute
716
00:36:47,706 --> 00:36:50,709
that Harry never went back to the
faculty office
717
00:36:50,792 --> 00:36:52,961
and that Mike and Sarah are
telling the truth.
718
00:36:53,712 --> 00:36:56,006
that would mean a third party
put the bloody files
719
00:36:56,089 --> 00:36:58,008
in Harry's locker to implicate him.
720
00:36:58,967 --> 00:37:01,637
perhaps. Mike and Sarah enter the office,
721
00:37:01,720 --> 00:37:03,013
start to look for Ryerson's exam,
722
00:37:03,096 --> 00:37:05,557
and discover the body. in all the chaos.
723
00:37:05,891 --> 00:37:07,601
and then they run out of there as
fast as they can.
724
00:37:07,935 --> 00:37:11,104
they said Colin Forbes
saw them afterwards.
725
00:37:11,188 --> 00:37:13,315
[muttering]
726
00:37:13,398 --> 00:37:15,442
Sarah-- "afterwards, he said
727
00:37:15,525 --> 00:37:17,277
we looked like a couple
of scared rabbits."
728
00:37:17,361 --> 00:37:18,987
that's it, Mrs. f.
729
00:37:19,071 --> 00:37:20,489
Colin Forbes had to be in that room
730
00:37:20,572 --> 00:37:22,282
because he killed Ryerson.
731
00:37:22,366 --> 00:37:24,076
and he heard Mike picking the lock,
732
00:37:24,159 --> 00:37:25,327
so he had to hide
right there in the office
733
00:37:25,410 --> 00:37:26,370
until they left.
734
00:37:26,870 --> 00:37:28,830
Judge Phillips? this is sheriff Metzger.
735
00:37:29,164 --> 00:37:31,208
I need a search warrant in a hurry.
736
00:37:32,501 --> 00:37:34,044
[Metzger] This looks like the lost
and found of everything
737
00:37:34,127 --> 00:37:36,546
that's disappeared from around here
in the past six months.
738
00:37:36,630 --> 00:37:39,716
[Colin] Sheriff, everyone in the society
uses this safe.
739
00:37:46,223 --> 00:37:48,392
including Mr. Ryerson's exam.
740
00:37:49,267 --> 00:37:50,102
I don't know how it got there.
741
00:37:50,435 --> 00:37:51,687
sure you don't.
742
00:37:53,105 --> 00:37:54,940
wanna bet your fingerprints
aren't on here?
743
00:37:56,274 --> 00:37:57,651
[laughs] okay.
744
00:37:59,486 --> 00:38:01,363
I broke into the faculty office,
because I didn't trust
745
00:38:01,446 --> 00:38:03,865
that chicken-hearted Seresino to go
through with it.
746
00:38:04,408 --> 00:38:07,452
before I could get in there, I see
Mike and Sarah Tyler
747
00:38:07,536 --> 00:38:08,954
come running out empty-handed,
748
00:38:09,037 --> 00:38:10,914
and I figured I had no choice.
749
00:38:11,248 --> 00:38:13,291
so I pried open the file cabinet
750
00:38:13,375 --> 00:38:15,836
and I looked through his files.
751
00:38:15,919 --> 00:38:18,422
and when I finally saw Ryerson's body,
752
00:38:18,505 --> 00:38:20,882
I dropped the folders 'cause I was so damn
surprised.
753
00:38:21,883 --> 00:38:23,510
my first thought was that I'd better take
the folders with me
754
00:38:23,593 --> 00:38:25,595
because my fingerprints
were all over them.
755
00:38:26,513 --> 00:38:28,557
and to make sure nothing pointed at you,
756
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:30,600
you wiped your prints clean
757
00:38:30,684 --> 00:38:32,894
and planted the folders
in Harry Matthews' locker.
758
00:38:33,228 --> 00:38:34,604
it was unlocked and...
759
00:38:35,313 --> 00:38:38,316
only you held onto this exam
just in case, huh?
760
00:38:43,947 --> 00:38:45,449
but this was your insurance.
761
00:38:49,494 --> 00:38:50,495
I, um--
762
00:38:53,206 --> 00:38:56,209
I was 16, drunk,
763
00:38:57,127 --> 00:38:58,587
and where I shouldn't have been,
764
00:38:59,046 --> 00:39:00,630
behind the wheel of a car.
765
00:39:02,132 --> 00:39:03,050
next thing I knew,
766
00:39:03,133 --> 00:39:04,843
the car was wrapped around a tree,
767
00:39:05,677 --> 00:39:07,804
and a 12-year-old-girl--
768
00:39:08,305 --> 00:39:09,890
she never walked again.
769
00:39:10,515 --> 00:39:13,727
my family moved in with
their wealth and influence.
770
00:39:14,227 --> 00:39:16,772
and the whole thing
was hushed up, forgotten.
771
00:39:17,814 --> 00:39:19,524
until Jim Ryerson did some digging
772
00:39:19,608 --> 00:39:21,359
and came up with this old state
police report.
773
00:39:21,693 --> 00:39:24,029
so he used the report
to blackmail you?
774
00:39:24,362 --> 00:39:25,614
Jessica...
775
00:39:26,698 --> 00:39:29,534
I've devoted my whole career
776
00:39:29,618 --> 00:39:32,496
trying to atone for that mistake.
777
00:39:32,829 --> 00:39:34,664
all the good I may have done,
778
00:39:34,748 --> 00:39:38,043
all the young minds I've tried to shape,
779
00:39:38,126 --> 00:39:40,921
would have ended in a blink
if Ryerson had dragged out
780
00:39:41,004 --> 00:39:42,631
that old horror story.
781
00:39:44,466 --> 00:39:46,134
god, how I detested that man.
782
00:39:46,927 --> 00:39:48,470
enough to vote for him.
783
00:39:49,096 --> 00:39:50,722
but not enough to kill him.
784
00:39:52,557 --> 00:39:55,769
one destroyed life is my limit.
785
00:39:57,687 --> 00:39:59,940
I'm returning this file
to the state police.
786
00:40:00,857 --> 00:40:02,150
I'm sure they'll put it back in storage
787
00:40:02,234 --> 00:40:03,735
like the ancient history that it is.
788
00:40:05,904 --> 00:40:07,155
thank you.
789
00:40:07,489 --> 00:40:09,116
thank you for coming by, doctor.
790
00:40:09,199 --> 00:40:11,034
-Jessica.
-Myles.
791
00:40:18,583 --> 00:40:20,961
you still haven't found
the murder weapon, Mort?
792
00:40:21,503 --> 00:40:23,088
nope. but I figure a few hours,
793
00:40:23,171 --> 00:40:25,340
and Colin Forbes will fill in the blanks.
794
00:40:26,133 --> 00:40:27,801
anyway, I'd better get going.
795
00:40:28,135 --> 00:40:31,888
Andy insisted I let him
play bad cop this time.
796
00:40:31,972 --> 00:40:33,723
and I'm not sure how long he can
maintain it
797
00:40:33,807 --> 00:40:35,392
without feeling sorry for the prisoner.
798
00:40:35,475 --> 00:40:38,812
ah, here. here it is. Mike's statement.
799
00:40:38,895 --> 00:40:40,939
"we just stood there looking at the mess.
800
00:40:41,022 --> 00:40:45,193
"the stuff on the floor included
test papers, pencils, stapler,
801
00:40:45,277 --> 00:40:48,155
that framed record." uh-huh.
802
00:40:48,738 --> 00:40:50,323
"a desk blotter..."
803
00:40:50,407 --> 00:40:51,283
so?
804
00:40:52,325 --> 00:40:55,245
that framed phonograph record
805
00:40:55,954 --> 00:40:58,123
is hanging right there on the wall.
806
00:40:58,790 --> 00:41:00,876
then why would Mike and Sarah say they
saw it on the floor?
807
00:41:01,209 --> 00:41:03,420
maybe because they did.
808
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:07,591
I wonder where it was when Colin Forbes
was in the office.
809
00:41:07,674 --> 00:41:09,801
-tenths.
-tenths?
810
00:41:10,135 --> 00:41:13,763
I know who kille Jim Ryerson.
811
00:41:13,847 --> 00:41:16,558
and I've been looking right at it.
812
00:41:31,781 --> 00:41:33,158
Jessica.
813
00:41:33,241 --> 00:41:35,035
oh, hello, Irv.
814
00:41:35,118 --> 00:41:37,454
how was boys' choir practice?
815
00:41:37,537 --> 00:41:39,789
how did you know where I was?
816
00:41:39,873 --> 00:41:41,708
the writing on the wall.
817
00:41:41,791 --> 00:41:44,127
[laughs] that's a hell of
a title for a song.
818
00:41:44,211 --> 00:41:45,670
"the writing on the wall."
819
00:41:46,421 --> 00:41:49,549
well, it's yours. I won't even ask to
share in the royalties.
820
00:41:49,633 --> 00:41:51,301
even if you write it.
821
00:41:52,135 --> 00:41:54,387
excuse me, but why do I get the feeling
822
00:41:54,471 --> 00:41:56,431
that you're talking in code?
823
00:42:00,060 --> 00:42:01,937
well, let me try to be clear.
824
00:42:03,188 --> 00:42:05,273
it wasn't Avery Nugent who stole Harry's
825
00:42:05,357 --> 00:42:07,484
"agenda for the future" material
826
00:42:07,567 --> 00:42:09,611
and gave it to Jim Ryerson, it was you.
827
00:42:09,694 --> 00:42:12,030
you who planted the cigar ashes.
828
00:42:12,948 --> 00:42:14,282
never heard that tune before,
829
00:42:14,366 --> 00:42:16,201
but if you hum a few bars,
maybe I could play it.
830
00:42:18,078 --> 00:42:19,704
why would I do that? Harry's my friend.
831
00:42:19,788 --> 00:42:21,289
he's my best friend here at St. Crispin.
832
00:42:21,623 --> 00:42:23,124
and you betrayed him
833
00:42:23,208 --> 00:42:25,168
because Jim Ryerson was blackmailing you.
834
00:42:25,502 --> 00:42:27,754
[chuckling] me? about what?
835
00:42:27,837 --> 00:42:29,756
my life's an open book.
836
00:42:29,839 --> 00:42:31,633
I've been teaching music for 14 years.
837
00:42:31,716 --> 00:42:33,802
I'm an established composer,
838
00:42:34,135 --> 00:42:36,972
I've got a platinum record,
a grammy award and--
839
00:42:37,055 --> 00:42:39,307
"commemorating the sale
of a million copies
840
00:42:39,391 --> 00:42:40,892
of love is like this.
841
00:42:42,310 --> 00:42:44,479
"words and music by Irv Tripler."
842
00:42:44,562 --> 00:42:45,939
quite an accomplishment.
843
00:42:46,815 --> 00:42:48,149
thank you.
844
00:42:48,483 --> 00:42:51,403
you know, when Mike Seresino
and Sarah Tyler
845
00:42:51,486 --> 00:42:53,446
broke in and discovered the body,
846
00:42:53,530 --> 00:42:56,032
there was clutter from
Mr. Ryerson's struggle with his killer.
847
00:42:56,116 --> 00:42:59,494
Mike and Sarah remembered that
this was on the floor.
848
00:42:59,828 --> 00:43:02,455
and yet the next morning,
when the sheriff got here,
849
00:43:02,539 --> 00:43:04,958
-it was back on the wall.
-so?
850
00:43:05,709 --> 00:43:09,087
so I believe that
the killer was still here
851
00:43:09,170 --> 00:43:10,797
when Mike and Sarah came in.
852
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:12,924
he had just murdered Mr. Ryerson,
853
00:43:13,008 --> 00:43:14,676
but he had to wait for them,
854
00:43:14,759 --> 00:43:16,803
and then for Colin Forbes to leave
855
00:43:16,886 --> 00:43:19,055
so that he could wipe this clean and
put it back up
856
00:43:19,139 --> 00:43:20,682
all right! give me that!
857
00:43:20,765 --> 00:43:21,975
hold it right there, Mr. Tripler!
858
00:43:22,058 --> 00:43:23,351
or whatever your name is.
859
00:43:23,685 --> 00:43:25,478
my name? what the hell
are you talking about?
860
00:43:25,812 --> 00:43:27,814
the fact that you're an imposter.
861
00:43:27,897 --> 00:43:29,983
the real Irv Tripler died 16 years ago.
862
00:43:30,066 --> 00:43:32,402
you took his name and kept collecting
the royalties
863
00:43:32,485 --> 00:43:35,280
on his hit song. that is criminal fraud.
864
00:43:35,363 --> 00:43:37,115
that's what Mr. Ryerson had on you,
865
00:43:37,198 --> 00:43:38,825
and that's why you killed him.
866
00:43:39,159 --> 00:43:41,244
all that may be true, but it doesn't
make me the killer.
867
00:43:41,578 --> 00:43:43,038
no, it doesn't.
868
00:43:43,121 --> 00:43:46,207
except that an eyewitness
has come forward,
869
00:43:46,291 --> 00:43:47,876
one who saw you coming out of this office
870
00:43:47,959 --> 00:43:51,421
a minute or two after Colin left.
871
00:43:55,884 --> 00:43:58,053
[piano music playing]
872
00:44:08,897 --> 00:44:10,982
when you played love is like this
873
00:44:11,066 --> 00:44:12,942
at the reception the other night,
874
00:44:13,026 --> 00:44:15,612
it prompted me to dig out
this old recording
875
00:44:15,695 --> 00:44:17,364
and listen to it.
876
00:44:18,073 --> 00:44:20,784
you know, after 20 years,
I'd forgotten how distinctive
877
00:44:20,867 --> 00:44:24,162
the real Irving Tripler's piano style was.
878
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:27,374
Irv Tripler had enormous hands,
879
00:44:27,457 --> 00:44:31,419
enabling him to play tenths--
an octave plus two notes.
880
00:44:32,087 --> 00:44:34,172
like from "c" to "e".
881
00:44:34,756 --> 00:44:36,508
no way those paws of yours
could do that, pal.
882
00:44:38,343 --> 00:44:39,677
I knew I shouldn't have let them
883
00:44:39,761 --> 00:44:41,262
talk me into playing.
884
00:44:44,140 --> 00:44:48,770
Irv Tripler was such a gentle man.
885
00:44:49,729 --> 00:44:51,523
he used to come and sit at the piano bar
886
00:44:51,606 --> 00:44:53,525
where I played in Cincinnati,
887
00:44:53,608 --> 00:44:55,985
and we became friends. he had no family,
888
00:44:56,069 --> 00:44:58,696
and when he got sick,
I took care of him.
889
00:44:59,030 --> 00:45:00,073
and his money.
890
00:45:00,407 --> 00:45:02,784
not the way you think.
891
00:45:02,867 --> 00:45:05,161
I forged his signature on royalty checks
892
00:45:05,245 --> 00:45:06,830
to pay for his medical bills.
893
00:45:07,163 --> 00:45:08,623
and you never reported his death
894
00:45:08,706 --> 00:45:10,083
to the music composers society.
895
00:45:10,417 --> 00:45:11,501
no.
896
00:45:12,877 --> 00:45:14,546
and then, except for the royalty checks,
897
00:45:14,629 --> 00:45:16,840
things weren't going so great for me,
898
00:45:16,923 --> 00:45:19,384
so I started teaching music.
899
00:45:19,717 --> 00:45:21,094
as Irv Tripler.
900
00:45:22,679 --> 00:45:25,140
they never would've hired Joey Mallo.
901
00:45:27,892 --> 00:45:30,270
I love teaching, Jessica.
902
00:45:30,728 --> 00:45:33,022
I use that royalty money on my students.
903
00:45:33,106 --> 00:45:34,983
I take them to concerts.
I buy them records and tapes,
904
00:45:35,316 --> 00:45:37,318
enriched their lives, sort of.
905
00:45:37,652 --> 00:45:38,862
and Irv would've liked that.
906
00:45:39,195 --> 00:45:41,281
and somehow Ryerson found out.
907
00:45:41,614 --> 00:45:46,369
well, when Jim was a kid,
he saw Irv Tripler perform.
908
00:45:46,786 --> 00:45:49,456
at first, he just wanted me
to steal Harry's material,
909
00:45:49,539 --> 00:45:50,832
and I hated doing that.
910
00:45:51,166 --> 00:45:53,084
but it was the price of his silence.
911
00:45:53,793 --> 00:45:56,629
and then, after he became headmaster,
912
00:45:56,713 --> 00:45:58,923
Ryerson said he was gonna cut way back
913
00:45:59,007 --> 00:46:00,383
on the music department.
914
00:46:03,761 --> 00:46:07,724
but why? I did what you wanted.
915
00:46:08,308 --> 00:46:11,186
because your department
is expendable, that's why.
916
00:46:13,396 --> 00:46:15,940
and because it's politically
correct these days.
917
00:46:17,609 --> 00:46:19,235
you're through around here.
918
00:46:22,572 --> 00:46:24,365
I couldn't believe what was happening.
919
00:46:24,699 --> 00:46:26,284
something in me snapped.
920
00:46:26,367 --> 00:46:27,410
no!
921
00:46:29,829 --> 00:46:31,039
so who's your eyewitness?
922
00:46:32,540 --> 00:46:33,458
there wasn't any.
923
00:46:33,791 --> 00:46:35,502
[chuckles]
924
00:46:46,846 --> 00:46:49,766
for a while, I didn't think I'd
ever be here again.
925
00:46:51,142 --> 00:46:53,978
so the new headmaster is going to keep
teaching classes?
926
00:46:54,312 --> 00:46:58,441
he's going to be
a very unusual headmaster.
927
00:46:58,525 --> 00:47:00,193
-hi, professor Matthews.
-hi.
928
00:47:00,276 --> 00:47:02,070
did you see your welcome-home present?
929
00:47:02,153 --> 00:47:03,613
why, no. what--
930
00:47:03,696 --> 00:47:05,532
well, he's back!
931
00:47:05,615 --> 00:47:08,076
[all laughing]
