Original subtitles

Yeah, this is Dr. Stewart.

What's the emergency?

Ice cream.

That was the emergency? Ice cream? Yeah, at 2 o 'clock in the morning, Mark. 2 a

.m.

And then when I told her the cafeteria was closed, you know what she says to

She says, even doctors need to exercise.

What do you mean by that? A trip to the Dairy Queen would do me good.

You believe this?

And then, after we battled it out over the ice cream, she has the nerve to

demand that her hairdresser be brought in this morning.

Who is this prima donna? She's the star of some TV show called Zebra, Queen of

the Tree People. Who knows?

I don't watch much television.

Her name is Pamela Dorn. I remember that, though.

Pammy Dorn?

Pammy? Pamela, please, open the door.

I've got a meeting with the network in half an hour. I told you, Tom, it's

I am not going to spend one more year of my life swinging from some stupid vine.

Oh, come on, Pam. I want to spray you.

Any maced candy?

Look, just let me see the new costume.

Excuse me, where's Miss Doran? Locked in the bathroom.

Probably holding out for whipped cream and nuts.

You wear that next season, and I guarantee you the cover of every major

magazine. I have been on the cover of every major magazine. Now I want to act.

With a body like that, why?

Take a hike, Dick.

You don't need any spray.

Ciao, Bella.

Good luck.

I told you, I want you to tell the network absolutely, positively, no!

Zyra, queen of the Amazon, is hanging up the old loincloth.

We're talking millions here, Pam.

Cooperate. I did.

And now I'm rich.

And now I'm going to make a movie. So did you find me a director yet? I'm

working on it, sweetheart.

Right. Yeah.

So what do you want?

Uncle Mark?

Who could forget the disappearing ace, the crawling queen, the jack -in -the

-box? That's right.

I used to do card tricks for Pammy when she was five years old. Her mom was a

patient of mine, and we became very good friends.

Oh, I had such a crush on you.

Well, you know, when you're five years old, a disappearing ace can be pretty

seductive stuff.

Yeah, right.

A lot like ice cream, I'll bet.

Oh, you've met Dr. Stewart, I think?

Yes. Yes, thank you again for your help last night, Doctor.

And I deeply apologize if there was any misunderstanding.

Oh, no, I think we understand each other pretty well.

I'll talk to you later, Mark.

Well, I hope nothing serious has brought you in here.

What do we have here?

Facelift? Aren't you just a little bit young for a facelift? Oh, Uncle Mark,

know, movies aren't like television.

My face is going to be on a 50 -foot screen.

Every little wrinkle, every little blemish will be magnified.

It's my first big movie.

I just want to look perfect.

Your mother must be so proud of you, following in her footsteps.

Yeah, well, it's very difficult for anyone to follow in Deborah Doran's

footsteps. How is she?

Perfect, as always.

Actually, she's moved to France, a modest little villa there in the wine

country.

Look, I want to come back later. You catch me up on her, all right?

Okay. Nothing I like better than talking about my mother.

That makes two of us.

Hey.

You okay?

Yeah. I was trying to open the window.

Well, the windows don't open.

Maybe that was a problem. Can you get up? Yeah.

Okay. I'll have somebody come by clean enough for you. Thanks.

Let me see.

Why isn't my doctor as good looking as you?

Well, I could say the same about my patients.

I don't believe that.

I saw Pamela Doran, the TV star, in the hall this morning.

She's not my patient.

You think of anything I could get an autograph for my nephew?

Zyra, queen of the Amazon, is his absolute favorite TV show. I guess so,

might want to hurry. She goes into surgery tomorrow.

Surgery? What kind of surgery?

Let me put it to you this way.

It's not life -threatening.

It'll be okay.

Visiting hours over yet?

Well, not till 8 o 'clock.

Carl's my assistant.

I edit books.

What a coincidence.

I read them.

I'll talk to you later.

Okay.

Listen to this.

Oh, surgery?

What kind of surgery?

Let me put it to you this way. It's not life -threatening.

Exhaustion.

Little nip Pamela Doran's getting nipped or tucked or enlarged.

This story could get you on the air.

It's about time.

What if they take out your appendix tomorrow?

Then I'll never get appendicitis.

Get well soon.

Gals in admissions.

Have them delivered to 204.

See ya. Okay.

Tom, I don't care what you think. This is an important film.

Why? Because I'm in it, and so is all my money. So just...

Find me a leading man, all right?

Right.

Thank you.

Get well soon.

Your fan club keeps growing.

When's the nip and tuck?

Tomorrow morning.

I'm going to be here for two days, so I'm going to have plenty of time to read

your rewrite.

Well, it's not really ready yet. It needs some finishing touches.

Joey. Yeah.

You know, you always twist that button when you're in line.

Well...

You know, I don't even really know how this happened, but somebody gave the

script to Julia Roberts' manager.

Well, it's too bad for Julia. I mean, this is my part.

Well, it doesn't look that way.

You know, you wrote that script while we were married, so I own half of it,

Duncan. But I own half with casting approval.

When I found you, you were bussing tables at Martin's. I mean, I gave you

first writing job on my series. I have subsidized you. And I really appreciate

everything that you've done for me. But this is a damn good screenplay. I'm not

going to let you ruin this. You and your loincloth. Come on.

You're a joke in Hollywood.

Joey.

That's why I desperately need to make this movie so people will stop laughing

me and someone will take me serious. Sweetheart, there's not enough celluloid

the world to accomplish that.

You try this and you are going to be dead.

And I'll never work in this town again.

See, that's your problem. Pamela, you just went big cliche.

Sorry.

Tom, hi.

Yeah, Joey just told me he's replacing me with Julia Roberts.

I want you to move the start date up two weeks.

I know he has casting approval. Just leave him to me, okay?

She's been quiet for a while, but wait till you hear what I got on tape.

Tell Mr.

Hirshhorn we love the manuscript and we'll contact his agent next week.

An editor's work is never done.

Oh. I got it.

You're allowed.

You're a patient.

How you doing?

I'm okay. Good.

Is there a policy against doctors asking patients out?

You know, I think there is.

Is there a policy against patients asking doctors out?

I'll look that one up.

Who's the distinguished doctor I saw outside Pamela Doran's room?

Oh, that would be Mark Sloan. Although I don't really think of him as being

distinguished.

Pleasantly eccentric is more on the money for him.

Is he her physician?

No, uh, Seymour Clark is her physician. Mark's just an old family friend.

What's that?

Oh, I was listening to a book on tape.

Oh, hey, I'll let you get back to it. Well, don't forget to make up that

policy.

I'll get right on it.

Joe, you in there?

What the hell are you doing? I'm a reporter.

For God's sakes, call 911.

Call 911!

After Pamela told me what happened, I called Joe, and he hung up on me.

So I decided to drive over here and talk some sense into him.

Poor guy was dead when I got here.

Dead when you called 911?

No, it was like that when I got here. I didn't think I should touch it.

That's when I called 911.

Who are you?

Edna Chow. She manages the building.

Said there was a girl with a video camera here.

5 '7". Curly red hair, black leather jacket, blue jeans, black sneakers.

How would you like a job in the force?

Couldn't afford the pig cut.

Any sign of the murder weapon?

None. Apparently he was beaten with a blunt object.

M .E. said there were two wounds, almost holes, at the base of his neck.

Mrs. Chow, did you see anyone entering Mr. Boland's apartment before Mr. Larson

here arrived?

You bet I did.

Murder? It's ridiculous.

Well, that's what I told him.

Whether or not you think it's ridiculous, Miss Dorn, you are a suspect

murder of Joseph Boland.

Who's Joseph Bowen?

Her ex -husband.

We have two eyewitnesses who can place her to scene in the crime.

That's impossible.

Afraid not, sweetheart.

I wasn't going to say anything, but the building manager saw you, too.

Oh.

Well, can an ex -husband testify against an ex -wife?

He's an ex -husband, too?

For two seasons, that's how I got this ulcer.

Does this earring belong to you, Miss Dorn?

Hey.

That looks like part of the set I gave you for our one -month anniversary.

Another ex -husband? Married for six episodes.

You mind if I check your jewelry box?

Not at all. I have nothing to hide.

How many ex -husbands do you have?

Perfect match.

I'm not saying another word until I speak to my attorney.

Right here, babe.

Harry Gelson, number three, but just for one hiatus.

You have four ex -husbands?

Well, I started early.

It seems that Mr. Gelson received a call from the deceased moments before the

attack. Mr. Borland told Mr. Gelson that you threatened to kill him.

He was dead when I got there.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to take you downtown for questioning, Miss Dorn.

Doesn't anybody believe me?

You believe me, don't you?

You've known me since I was a little girl. I mean, you don't think I killed

John, do you?

Take the fifth.

Lieutenant, could I speak to you privately outside for a moment?

Excuse us, will you?

Certainly, doctor.

Lieutenant?

Why the sudden formality? Everybody in that room is related by marriage.

I wanted to keep it on the professional level.

What exactly is it that we're keeping on a professional level? I've known Pammy

since she was three years old. I've watched her grow up. Her life may be a

little crazy, but...

Underneath, she's still the same sweet little girl she always was. And she's

certainly not capable of murder.

Dad, look, I know your instincts are usually pretty good, but I've got to

her downtown to question her.

Oh, God.

Hey, why not question her here?

In the hospital?

Yeah, you wouldn't have to deal with the media, with the cameras and the

microphones. You know they're going to make a big three -ring circus out of

this.

Are you saying, Dr.

Sloan, that it would be detrimental to Miss Doran's health if she were to leave

the hospital at this time?

See, you should have been a doctor.

You stopped Steve from taking her away?

Well, it'll give us a chance to prove she's innocent.

Innocent? What?

Two witnesses saw her leaving the scene of the crime.

Her earring was found next to the body.

And she lied about being there.

Things look pretty bad right now, I know. Pretty bad?

Seems to me Steve has an airtight case.

Yeah, but as long as we all think she's innocent.

I'm not sure that we all believe that.

As long as the majority of us think she's innocent.

I'm not so sure we have a majority here, Mark.

As long as the chief of internal medicine of this hospital thinks she's

innocent, I think we ought to go to the crime scene and see if there's anything

that points in the direction away from Pamela Dorn.

Are you done with this?

Mark, please.

Look, you could ask me anything, but please don't ask me to help that woman.

Jack, I'm not going to ask you to do anything you don't want to do.

Thank you.

You know, I knew a street kid was always in trouble, never going to amount to a

hill of beans unless someone gave him a second chance.

Unless someone could see the heart of gold behind that street smart bravado.

Unless someone could see beyond the foolish mistakes he made when he was a

Unless someone... All right, Mark.

We'll help.

Oh, thank you.

Appreciate it. Thank you, boy. Come on, let's go.

I wasn't finished, you know.

All right, we'll help.

If I hadn't said yes, we'd still be listening to sob stories about your

youth. I could take it if he could.

Well, I couldn't. Now, if you don't really want to be here, I'm perfectly

capable of handling the situation myself.

You think so, huh? Oh, I know so.

Oh, that sounds like a better man. Do you want to bet me? Fine. Do you want to

bet me? Do you want to bet me? Losers buy lunch all week away from the

cafeteria. What do you want?

Hello, Mrs. Chow. I'm Dr. Amanda Bentley from Community General Hospital. I

already made a donation.

Oh, yes.

Lovely roses.

You know, I hear that Tony's makes a delicious lasagna.

Although Martino's fettuccine... It's not over till the fat lady sings.

Now, let's see you work your magic, big shot.

Yeah, I got your magic.

Excuse me.

Now what do you want?

I'm sorry to bother you. I'm with Channel 8 News.

We'd like to ask you a couple of questions about Joe Boland's death.

Oh, sure.

Come in. Great. Thank you.

Tony's.

Yeah. Hi.

How you doing? Good.

Mrs. Chow, the condo manager, she could see everything from a window.

So who are the suspects?

There aren't any.

Joe Boland had no living relatives and no friends.

That's impossible.

He was a writer. He didn't own a car. He didn't even own an answering machine.

And the only mail he received?

Rejection slips.

And he only had four cards in his Rolodex.

It was Pamela Dorn and her three ex -husbands.

Tom Larson, Harry Gelson, and Dick Douglas.

And don't forget about the piece of delivery place.

I'm sure they're a suspect in all this. Well, they could be, you know.

Did Mrs. Chow see anything even remotely suspicious on the night of the murder?

Just Tom, Pamela, and a lady with a video camera.

A video camera?

This week, Pamela Dorn checked into Community General Hospital for

Does she look familiar to you?

It couldn't be. Let's get real.

According to Dr. Jack Stewart, Pamela is under the care of Dr.

Seymour Clark, the famous Beverly Hills plastic surgeon.

But this time, Miss Dorn has more to worry about than just a few laugh lines.

She's the number one suspect in the murder investigation of her fourth

Joseph Boland.

But why isn't she in jail?

According to Dr. Stewart, there's an elaborate cover -up masterminded by

Community General's Chief of Internal Medicine, the eccentric Dr. Martin

Eccentric? Cover -up? This exclusive video shows Ms. Dorn sneaking out of the

hospital.

She arrives at the scene of the crime.

Moments later, she flees into the night.

We'll keep you posted as this seamy story unfolds.

You talked to a reporter?

Yeah, like I knew she was a reporter.

Well, find out before you go running off with a mouth like a leaky faucet. Hey,

Norman, don't start anything, all right? And what's this about a cover -up?

There wasn't any cover -up.

Then I can issue a press release denying these malicious accusations that we're

harboring a murderer.

Well, I did suggest to Steve that, in my professional opinion, it would be

detrimental to Miss Dorn's health to let her...

Leave the hospital.

For God's sake, Mark, she's here for a faith lift.

Pamela did not kill her ex -husband. Can you prove that?

No.

Two to one. I lose.

And that's a cut.

Take five minutes, everybody.

That was one hell of a performance.

Thanks. I'll get better with practice.

Oh, no, I don't mean here. I mean back at the hospital.

You almost had me convinced that you were a nice person. Almost.

Everything I said was true.

Really?

Yeah. How's your career in publishing going?

I've got a master's degree in broadcast journalism.

I've been an associate producer for eight years. Some of my more impressive

duties have been making the coffee and buying the donuts.

This story was my chance to do what I was trained to do.

It worked, and I deserve it.

It's one minor problem, though. What's that?

You lied to me.

And I didn't deserve that.

Quite a headline.

Hidden video places Pamela Dorn at murder scene.

Well, I always did want to make the front page.

Eccentric chief of internal medicine, masterminds cover -up.

Oh, you'll make a bundle on the movie, right?

Pammy, you asked me to believe in you, and I did.

I'd like a real explanation of that night.

All right.

All right, yeah.

I sneaked out of the hospital and went to Joe's place.

I was going to try to seduce him into giving me my part back.

Mark, that movie meant everything to me.

Unfortunately, that's a pretty solid motive for murder.

No, but he was dead when I got there.

Whatever you think. I mean, there was no way I could hurt Joe.

Joe... Joe was different than my other exes.

How?

Well... Harry manages my money, Tom produces my show, Dick does my hair, but

was... Joe was an artist.

Shy and sensitive and... Oh, very appealing.

But you divorced him.

No, actually, he divorced me.

That makes two solid motives for murder.

Oh, well, I've got one that's even better than that.

I'm smart enough to know that when I finish this series, I'm going to be

voices for cartoon shows.

I mean, that movie was my ticket out.

Now I'm just going to go down in history as Deborah Dorn's daughter, just some

happy little footnote to her bio.

I mean, you shouldn't compare yourself to your mother.

Why not? Everyone else does.

Deborah Dorn, one perfect movie after another, one perfect marriage, happily

ever after till the day my dad died.

And then there's me.

A very talented young lady with her whole life before her.

Mark, I make my living swinging from a vine. I change husbands like you change

shoes. I mean, I just don't seem to get it, do I?

Well, you and your mother have one thing in common.

What's that?

You're not quitters.

Look, don't worry.

Mark, everything.

Point to Pamela Dorn. Everything.

I know.

That's why we're just going to have to work harder.

You know, there used to be this street kid who really wasn't going to amount to

anything until this kind and wise doctor took him under his wing. And do you

know the most important lesson that he taught this young boy? Do you know what

it was?

I think I'm going to like this. It was ask the hard questions.

So I ask you now, my wise and kind friend, if one of Pamela's ex -husbands

wanted her out of the way, Why did he kill Joe Baldwin?

Why didn't he just kill Pamela?

Mark, no matter how well you think you know this woman, maybe it's time that

face facts that Pamela Dorn is guilty of murder.

Why not the health?

Mark, this is ludicrous.

It's bad enough when you go running off solving murders, but I am the

administrator of this hospital.

Norman, the only way we can prove that the hospital's not protecting a killer

to find the real one.

Now, according to Mrs. Chow, Joe Bolden didn't know anybody, except for Pamela

and her three ex -husbands, which narrows down our list of suspects pretty

One of them framed her.

Why?

Norman, very good. You're starting to ask the right questions.

The question is, why does our killer want Pamela alive but convicted of

I don't think this is such a very good idea.

I'll remember saying we're picking on your resume.

I lose my keys a lot.

You take the desk. I'll take the file cabinet.

I should be at the hospital.

Behind my own desk.

The more you talk, the lower this is going to take.

Is that all you shoot?

Are you sure you re -locked the outer door?

Listen, once is an accident twice is stupid.

Damn handkerchief. Now, I get busy on that desk.

Probably get caught.

Shot by some trick -or -happy security guard.

Why don't I head to hospital?

Because you don't work nights.

Well, I'm gonna start.

Take a look at this.

What on earth did you have for lunch?

Of course, it's melting my earrings.

You've got a whole filing cabinet up there.

That's a crucial statement on our finances. This is crucial.

This is outstanding.

This could take a while.

What are we going to do? What are we going to do?

Get going.

I just finished my rounds. We can stay here all night.

Morning, son.

How's business?

Booming.

We all have come here today to lighten your load.

This may come as a shock to you, Dad, but we actually have professionals who

this for a living.

What do they call again?

Ah, yes, police.

But do the police know that there are three solid suspects in Joe Boland's

murder?

Pamela Dorn.

Pamela Dorn and Pamela Dorn.

Dolores, why don't you start?

Okay.

Tom Larson, husband number one, knows Pamela Dorns is no movie star.

So he takes out an insurance policy on the picture. He gets $5 million if it

doesn't go.

I risk my case.

Nice presentation, Dolores. Thank you.

There's just one little problem.

Tom lives in the Palisades. He was in his car on his way to Joe's when the

murder happened.

He was the one that arrived while Pamela was leaving.

True story, he has it on tape.

So, uh, we're all done here.

We're just getting started.

Pamela Dawn promised husband number two that she'll finance a line of beauty

products bearing his name.

When she decided to finance her own movie, she reneged on that promise,

Dick Douglas just another Hollywood hairdresser.

Motive for murder in any person's book.

Persuasive argument.

Not bad for a beginner thief.

Just one little glitch. Yes?

At the time of the murder, Dick Douglas was at a beauty expo at the Crown

Regent, demonstrating a color weave in front of 800 people.

So, if we're all done here, we have one more suspect.

You go first, dear. No, you go. Just go first.

Why don't you take turns?

Okay.

In order for Pamela to finance her movie, she wanted a complete...

accounting of her entire estate down to the last nickel.

But Harry Gelson, husband number three, kept the second set of books. We're

guessing he's embezzled nearly $700 ,000 by abusing his power of attorney.

Any audit will expose that, Steve.

So Harry has a motive.

Ah, but Harry is the one who got the call from Joe saying that Pamela

to kill him. Mm -hmm. Can you prove it?

The phone company confirms the call was made and that Joe subsequently called

911.

Twelve dinner guests were there when Harry called Joe.

Which brings us back to Pamela Dorn, Pamela Dorn, and Pamela Dorn.

I knew this wasn't such a good idea. What Minor Minor said back, I know that

answer lies with one of those three ex -husbands. Excuse me.

What do you got?

Could be the murder weapon. We found traces of blood.

The world's greatest husband?

Yeah, these two spikes could account for the holes in the victim's neck.

What are you talking about? Anybody could have a trophy like that. You can

it with the gift shop.

Read the inscription on the bottom.

To my darling Joe, love, Pamela. You're making that up.

Yeah, well... I'll buy you lunch, okay?

Miss Dorn was seen fleeing the scene of the murder of Joseph Boland, her fourth

and last husband.

True Story has now learned that the police have found her fingerprints on

murder weapon.

Apparently, Miss Dorn bludgeoned her ex -husband to death with a statue

inscribed, World's Greatest Husband.

Could this happen anywhere but Hollywood?

Back to you, Dave.

Look at the tape of Maria's broadcast doing this.

Mm -mm. It's hopeless.

Absurd. I risked my reputation for this.

Wait a minute. Let's not be defeatists here. Why not? We've earned it.

We have three suspects with valid motives.

All of which have airtight alibis, I might add. But one of them has got a

in there somewhere.

Mark, come on. Aren't you watching?

Look.

It's right there in living color.

There.

Case closed.

Wait a minute.

Pull up.

Back and run that through slow motion.

Wait.

There it is.

Right there. See that?

What?

That's it.

Dolores, I want you to find out how the killer got past that human watchdog,

Mrs. Chow.

And, Norman, I want you to poke a few holes in an alibi.

Sorry, Mark, but I'm hanging up my gum shoes.

Yeah, not as much fun as I thought it was going to be. I got to go.

We have a hospital to run. Let's do it. Move it.

Come on, you guys.

No, I have no one.

What? You have me.

And then what's your name?

Amanda. Amanda.

I thought you two were convinced that Pamela was guilty.

We are. We just want to convince you once and for all that Pamela Dorn is the

killer.

Welcome back to the team.

Think this is oil?

I don't know. Smell it.

Give me your hand.

It is oil.

Only Joe didn't own a car.

Well, how do you explain the tire track?

This must be the killer. Enter.

What are you two doing in here?

This is a security building.

I told you. I already made a donation.

Yes, and we thought that we'd stop by and thank you for your generosity.

When are you clowns from Channel 8 going to interview me?

Oh, they're on their way.

You keep watching.

You might want to change before they get here.

Dad,

I have to take her in. It was a little while longer. I'm sure we know it was

something. Dad, I got a call from my captain, because he got a call from the

division commander, who got a call from the commissioner, who got a call from

the mayor.

Look, I am not... At Osho, her physical condition was taken out of the hospital.

She's getting a facelift.

How did you know that?

I saw it on True Story.

And they wouldn't say it if it wasn't true. So when can she be ready to

Well, you know, paperwork could take a little while.

How long?

You know, these big city hospitals with the lost records and computer fouls,

that kind of thing. I'll be back in two hours with my handcuffs.

He used to be such a nice kid. I heard that.

You know, I keep thinking, what would my mom do in this situation?

And then I realized my mom would never be in this situation. My mom would not

swing from a vine. Mom would not have four failed marriages.

You know, I was with your mother during your father's final illness.

Yeah, well, she was even perfect at that.

She tended dad and made a film at the same time. Even got an Academy Award

nomination for it.

While I just...

Fell apart.

She was terrified.

Of what?

Not being able to function without your father.

Not being able to raise you alone.

I was the one who suggested she do that movie just to get her mind on something

else so she didn't fall apart.

She never showed it.

She was afraid that if she broke down...

There'd be no one left for you to hold onto.

Well, I just wish we could have cried together.

Maybe you can now.

You Lily Montez?

I sent in that car payment.

No, she was.

Tone down the makeup and lighten the hair. I think you'll be perfect.

You got a gig for me?

Maybe. Your agency said that you worked with Dick Douglas here at the beauty

expo the other night.

Forget it.

Remember those car payments, honey? I'd rather take the bus than work for that

pig again.

Really? Why?

He was demonstrating a color weave.

Well, right before we were supposed to go on. He has a fit. Doesn't like the

the color looks. So we have to do the whole thing over.

So you never went on stage?

Oh, we went on.

But Dick locked himself in the bathroom for a half an hour. They had to

rearrange the entire running order with the true story crew twiddling their

thumb. They never got around to taping me.

That's a tough break.

Thank you very much. Well, what about the gig?

Oh, as soon as I get more information, I will definitely call you, okay?

Thanks. Oh, one more thing.

Yeah? Where's the men's room?

The ratings went up again.

How would you like something that'll put your ratings through the roof?

Well, well, well. If it isn't Deep Throat.

Hey, my young friend.

Let's take a walk.

This is a surprise.

Why the second chance?

I need you.

I like the way that sounds.

Can you...

Get me the tape from the beauty expo.

And also I need the raw footage that you shot the night of the murder.

What do I get?

You get the story of a lifetime.

Everyone find a seat.

Oh, you look terrific.

Thank you.

Gorgeous.

This looks like the stateroom scene from a night at the opera.

Well, I hope everybody's in a movie mood because I have a story here that's

going to make a great murder mystery.

Starring Pamela Dorn.

As a matter of fact, everyone in this room is a character in the plot.

Remember, you don't have to say a word.

Harry, for once, just shut up and listen.

Let me set the scene before the murder occurred.

Beautiful actress finds a script that's going to launch her movie career.

But in order to finance the script, she has to pull the plug on a few little

promises, like financing her ex -husband's line of beauty supplies.

If you're accusing me, forget it. I was in front of 800 people that night. Hang

on, pal. There's more.

This hairdresser, he blows a gasket at the beauty expo, and he locks himself in

the bathroom for about a half hour.

But instead of an aspirin, he takes a powder.

And he ends up at Joe's place.

Then, using the actress's keys, which he lifted from her purse, he gets inside.

And he plants the actress's earring.

And wearing driving gloves so he wouldn't leave any fingerprints, he

with a trophy that the actress gave him.

You can't prove any of this.

Sit down, honey. You rock on the boat.

We found oil in Joe's garage, except Joe doesn't own a car.

And tire tracks that the lab has matched to your Lamborghini.

We also have footage from True Story, which proves that you were nowhere near

that stage until after 11.

But the plot doesn't end there. We have another character who was not in the

original plot.

We do?

Mm -hmm.

A young lady with a camera followed you to the crime scene.

She saw me find Joe's body, so what?

Well, she saw more than that.

Look at this.

Joe, you in there?

Call 911!

Call 911!

Now, see, this phone is supposed to be off the hook because Joe called Harry

then passed out right after he called 911.

But the phone is not off the hook.

Now, how can the phone be on the hook when you arrive and then off the hook 20

minutes later when the police arrived?

You told me you didn't touch the phone because you didn't want to disturb

anything. I don't remember what I said.

Oh, I think you remember everything you said in detail.

Because the three of you planned this together.

Now, Tom, Dick paged you to let you know Joe was dead.

And you followed Pamela to the scene of the crime.

Then you called Harry to let him know that everything was going according to

plan. That was the call that your dinner guest overheard.

And then Tom deliberately took the phone off the hook to make it look as if Joe

had died while...

only for help.

So you guys would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for this tape.

All three of them did it.

That's right.

Why didn't they just murder Pamela?

Um, Miss Thornton.

Well, you see, they all knew that my will leaves everything to charity.

They wouldn't have gotten a dime.

Oh, I just love a happy ending.

And by the way, thanks for your help. Oh, I should thank you.

That exclusive got me a contract.

Yeah, congratulations.

You have a chance to check on that dating policy yet?

Matter of fact, I did. It seems that patients can ask out any doctor they

as long as he isn't their attending physician.

Well, in that case, consider yourself asked.

What made you decide to go back to the series?

Well, you know, millions of people love Zyra.

I mean, I know it's not Hamlet, but...

Hell, how many actresses get an opportunity to save innocent victims

rampaging rhinos, charging elephants, crazed poachers every single week?

Right. But what about your movie career?

Well, I'm never going to give up on that, but right now I think I should

concentrate on trying not to be my mother, trying to be me.

Good. Is that worth it without a facelift?

Well, I do want her to recognize me. I suddenly have this overwhelming urge to

visit the wine country in France. What do you think?

Oh, Tammy, I think she would love this.

You know, Zyra, queen of the Amazon, is not used to having other people save

her. Well, listen, even the good guys need some help sometime.

Yeah, right.
