1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,545
[Jessica] Tonight on Murder, She Wrote.

2
00:00:02,628 --> 00:00:04,338
Let's open our hearts,

3
00:00:04,422 --> 00:00:06,924
our pocketbooks...
and our auction.

4
00:00:07,007 --> 00:00:09,552
-Kim Mitchell?
-Jessica?

5
00:00:09,635 --> 00:00:11,345
I heard all about your good fortune.

6
00:00:11,429 --> 00:00:13,431
"Kim Mitchell
of Cabot Cove, Maine,

7
00:00:13,514 --> 00:00:15,599
You've just won
$10 million!"

8
00:00:15,683 --> 00:00:18,352
You didn't come here
to grill me, too, did you?

9
00:00:18,436 --> 00:00:20,855
I can't let Willow Gardens
be touched with scandal.

10
00:00:20,938 --> 00:00:23,524
What?
Did you just fall out of the tree?

11
00:00:23,607 --> 00:00:26,277
You guys are welcome
to get all warm and fuzzy about Jovet,

12
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:28,195
but I'm not about to turn my back on him.

13
00:00:28,279 --> 00:00:30,948
We made the rent... and then some.

14
00:00:31,031 --> 00:00:32,533
From Miss Mitchell, Sir.

15
00:00:32,616 --> 00:00:33,993
Ah.

16
00:00:34,076 --> 00:00:35,411
Lovely, isn't it?

17
00:00:35,494 --> 00:00:36,787
Stabbed in the back

18
00:00:36,871 --> 00:00:38,497
with a statue of Don Quixote.

19
00:00:38,581 --> 00:00:39,915
I'm sorry, Artie.

20
00:00:39,999 --> 00:00:41,333
I didn't mean
to withhold anything.

21
00:00:41,417 --> 00:00:43,753
Stay the hell away
from my sister!

22
00:00:43,836 --> 00:00:46,088
Get him out of here!

23
00:01:56,283 --> 00:01:57,827
[man] But notice
the underlying narrative,

24
00:01:57,910 --> 00:02:00,830
how the artist imposes
a certain order to the chaos.

25
00:02:00,913 --> 00:02:04,041
Philip, $15,000
is a lot of cash for chaos.

26
00:02:04,124 --> 00:02:05,668
Frankly, I hate it.

27
00:02:05,751 --> 00:02:07,461
Who said anything about liking it?

28
00:02:07,545 --> 00:02:09,171
Sondra, remember last year...

29
00:02:09,255 --> 00:02:11,549
that oil on wood
you absolutely loathed?

30
00:02:11,632 --> 00:02:14,468
It did triple in value,
I'll grant you that...

31
00:02:14,552 --> 00:02:16,095
Less due to your judgment

32
00:02:16,178 --> 00:02:17,763
than the artist killing himself

33
00:02:17,847 --> 00:02:19,473
in that spectacular fashion.

34
00:02:19,557 --> 00:02:21,976
Bungee jumping.
Tragic, but public.

35
00:02:22,059 --> 00:02:23,769
-All right, I'll take it.
-Good.

36
00:02:23,853 --> 00:02:26,021
Maybe I'll get lucky again.

37
00:02:26,105 --> 00:02:28,148
Kim! Darling!

38
00:02:28,232 --> 00:02:30,818
Sondra,
Kim Mitchell's hosting the charity auction

39
00:02:30,901 --> 00:02:32,486
for the Willow Gardens Boys' School.

40
00:02:32,570 --> 00:02:34,029
-It's in my calendar.
-Good.

41
00:02:34,113 --> 00:02:36,073
I'm sure I can find something to donate.

42
00:02:36,156 --> 00:02:37,533
Eh, Philip?

43
00:02:37,616 --> 00:02:39,034
Kisses.

44
00:02:40,703 --> 00:02:42,663
Philip, we have a problem.
This Walt Yoder.

45
00:02:42,746 --> 00:02:44,582
Let me guess...
You hung it for a week,

46
00:02:44,665 --> 00:02:46,667
and it bores you.
No problem, pick out something else.

47
00:02:46,750 --> 00:02:49,587
No, no, that isn't it.
I saw this Sarah Graff

48
00:02:49,670 --> 00:02:51,463
with a different number
in the Village yesterday

49
00:02:51,547 --> 00:02:53,215
at a third of the price.

50
00:02:53,299 --> 00:02:55,801
They must've mismarked it.
Somebody got a steal.

51
00:02:55,885 --> 00:02:57,219
Funny you should use that word.

52
00:02:57,303 --> 00:02:58,846
Philip, don't do this to me.

53
00:02:58,929 --> 00:03:01,932
Kim, look,
I've just located an Alexis Hill.

54
00:03:02,016 --> 00:03:04,768
It'll be yours with my compliments.

55
00:03:04,852 --> 00:03:07,438
Mrs. Hannah! How are you?

56
00:03:14,361 --> 00:03:16,113
-Kim Mitchell?
-Jessica?

57
00:03:16,196 --> 00:03:19,450
Ha ha!
I heard you took a place in New York.

58
00:03:19,533 --> 00:03:21,160
Yes, on West 60th Street.

59
00:03:21,243 --> 00:03:23,329
Oh, what a lovely surprise.

60
00:03:23,412 --> 00:03:25,539
I heard all about your good fortune.

61
00:03:25,623 --> 00:03:27,708
It was a magazine sweepstakes, was it?

62
00:03:27,791 --> 00:03:30,836
Yes, it was. Oh, they came to my door

63
00:03:30,920 --> 00:03:32,463
with a television camera

64
00:03:32,546 --> 00:03:34,381
and a six-foot-long check.

65
00:03:34,465 --> 00:03:36,258
"Kim Mitchell of Cabot Cove, Maine,

66
00:03:36,342 --> 00:03:38,761
You've just won $10 million!"

67
00:03:38,844 --> 00:03:41,722
-Can you imagine that?
-No, I can't.

68
00:03:41,805 --> 00:03:44,683
Well, it obviously changed
your lifestyle dramatically.

69
00:03:44,767 --> 00:03:46,936
Oh, that's the understatement
of the decade.

70
00:03:47,019 --> 00:03:49,438
For starters, I've been living here
for 11 months now.

71
00:03:49,521 --> 00:03:51,941
And listen, Jessica,
I have a lunch date

72
00:03:52,024 --> 00:03:53,984
-with my stepbrother Mark.
-You remember him.

73
00:03:54,068 --> 00:03:55,611
-Of course.
-Why don't you join us?

74
00:03:55,694 --> 00:03:57,196
We'll all catch up. My treat.

75
00:03:57,279 --> 00:03:59,823
Yes, Yes. But I have to go next door first

76
00:03:59,907 --> 00:04:01,742
because my printer is on the blink,

77
00:04:01,825 --> 00:04:03,118
and I've got the coffee shop

78
00:04:03,202 --> 00:04:04,662
running off some things for me.

79
00:04:10,084 --> 00:04:13,337
Aw, sweetie,
it's written all over your face.

80
00:04:13,420 --> 00:04:15,130
They see I didn't go to college,

81
00:04:15,214 --> 00:04:17,049
I'm out the door.

82
00:04:17,132 --> 00:04:18,926
Your sister's making, like, what...

83
00:04:19,009 --> 00:04:21,095
$400,000 a year, tax-free,

84
00:04:21,178 --> 00:04:22,763
for the next 20 years?

85
00:04:22,846 --> 00:04:24,890
She can support you, me

86
00:04:24,974 --> 00:04:27,101
and a couple of zip codes. Ha ha!

87
00:04:27,184 --> 00:04:30,437
Teddy, I can't go on living off of her.

88
00:04:30,521 --> 00:04:32,231
Actually,
I've been thinking about asking her

89
00:04:32,314 --> 00:04:33,983
to help me out with college tuition.

90
00:04:34,066 --> 00:04:35,901
Wait a minute. I am not planning

91
00:04:35,985 --> 00:04:39,279
on working as a glorified gofer
for the next four years.

92
00:04:39,363 --> 00:04:41,240
Not again.

93
00:04:41,323 --> 00:04:44,159
Uh-huh. Today, it's Chez Maison.

94
00:04:44,243 --> 00:04:45,995
on Sis.

95
00:04:46,078 --> 00:04:48,414
That's more like it.

96
00:04:48,497 --> 00:04:50,499
You know that nice account supervisor

97
00:04:50,582 --> 00:04:52,584
I was telling you about... Mr. Nichols?

98
00:04:52,668 --> 00:04:54,920
He said he'd love to take me there.

99
00:04:57,047 --> 00:04:59,049
Tell me, do you get up there often?

100
00:04:59,133 --> 00:05:00,884
Things got very weird in Cabot Cove

101
00:05:00,968 --> 00:05:02,302
when I hit the jackpot.

102
00:05:02,386 --> 00:05:03,887
Oh, in what way?

103
00:05:03,971 --> 00:05:05,806
People started acting strange toward me...

104
00:05:05,889 --> 00:05:08,225
Old friends. Even Mike Pettibon.
You remember Mike.

105
00:05:08,308 --> 00:05:10,310
Mike and I had a real thing going.

106
00:05:10,394 --> 00:05:13,939
The money, I think,
threatened his masculinity.

107
00:05:14,023 --> 00:05:15,691
Money can do that sometimes.

108
00:05:15,774 --> 00:05:17,359
[laughs]

109
00:05:17,443 --> 00:05:20,029
Mark, have you moved down
to the city as well?

110
00:05:20,112 --> 00:05:21,780
I came down for a job interview,

111
00:05:21,864 --> 00:05:23,449
and I've been
under Kim's roof ever since.

112
00:05:23,532 --> 00:05:25,200
What's a big sister for?

113
00:05:25,284 --> 00:05:26,744
Anyway, you'll get something soon.

114
00:05:26,827 --> 00:05:28,328
Um, Kim...

115
00:05:28,412 --> 00:05:30,164
Teddy and I have been thinking

116
00:05:30,247 --> 00:05:31,707
that I would be out
from underneath your feet

117
00:05:31,790 --> 00:05:34,209
if I had my own place...
Nothing fancy.

118
00:05:34,293 --> 00:05:36,128
We saw this darling little apartment

119
00:05:36,211 --> 00:05:37,504
overlooking the East River.

120
00:05:37,588 --> 00:05:39,673
They only want $50,000 down.

121
00:05:39,757 --> 00:05:41,550
Teddy.

122
00:05:41,633 --> 00:05:43,969
I was talking about a rental.

123
00:05:44,053 --> 00:05:46,096
I didn't realize you two were so serious.

124
00:05:47,264 --> 00:05:48,599
Oh.

125
00:05:48,682 --> 00:05:50,559
Jessica, did you know

126
00:05:50,642 --> 00:05:53,270
that Kim has a significant other,
as they say?

127
00:05:53,353 --> 00:05:55,355
Kim?

128
00:05:55,439 --> 00:05:57,608
Somebody I can trust.

129
00:05:57,691 --> 00:05:59,693
I've become very paranoid about people

130
00:05:59,777 --> 00:06:01,528
who take a sudden interest in me.

131
00:06:01,612 --> 00:06:04,031
Well, I've never been
on the receiving end

132
00:06:04,114 --> 00:06:06,200
of a six-foot-long check myself,

133
00:06:06,283 --> 00:06:08,368
but I think I can
understand what you mean.

134
00:06:08,452 --> 00:06:10,871
You'll see why Bert's so special.

135
00:06:10,954 --> 00:06:13,957
A stockbroker
who refuses to take me on as a client.

136
00:06:14,041 --> 00:06:15,793
He's wonderful, Jessica.

137
00:06:15,876 --> 00:06:19,338
The real blessing this money's given me

138
00:06:19,421 --> 00:06:21,423
is the freedom
to pursue my lifelong dream.

139
00:06:21,507 --> 00:06:23,342
Sculpture?

140
00:06:23,425 --> 00:06:25,928
Are you still cleaning up
the environment?

141
00:06:26,011 --> 00:06:28,305
Turning junk into art.

142
00:06:35,687 --> 00:06:37,689
It's the best thing
you've ever done, Kim.

143
00:06:37,773 --> 00:06:40,442
Oh. You're a dear, Bert.

144
00:06:40,526 --> 00:06:43,445
But no, it's just, uh...

145
00:06:43,529 --> 00:06:46,198
No, it's just not there yet.

146
00:06:46,281 --> 00:06:48,909
You're being much too demanding
of yourself, darling.

147
00:06:48,992 --> 00:06:50,869
You're a love.

148
00:06:50,953 --> 00:06:53,705
Why is it you can find
just the right spot on my back

149
00:06:53,789 --> 00:06:55,290
that needs scratching?

150
00:06:55,374 --> 00:06:57,584
Well, not quite always.

151
00:06:57,668 --> 00:06:59,211
I'm afraid I'm not having a lot of luck

152
00:06:59,294 --> 00:07:00,963
finding your brother a job.

153
00:07:01,046 --> 00:07:02,965
These days, Ivy Leaguers
with Masters degrees

154
00:07:03,048 --> 00:07:05,384
are fighting over mailroom jobs.

155
00:07:05,467 --> 00:07:07,219
Hmm. I'll keep asking around, though.

156
00:07:07,302 --> 00:07:09,429
Thanks, Bert.

157
00:07:09,513 --> 00:07:11,140
You'd better get cleaned up.

158
00:07:11,223 --> 00:07:12,808
Dr. Swope will be along any time now.

159
00:07:12,891 --> 00:07:14,560
Right. Gee, can you imagine?

160
00:07:14,643 --> 00:07:16,687
Prep school headmasters lining up

161
00:07:16,770 --> 00:07:18,605
for an audience with moi.

162
00:07:18,689 --> 00:07:20,774
Well, it's nice of you to call, Mr. Jovet.

163
00:07:20,858 --> 00:07:24,027
No, we're very grateful to you,
Mrs. Fletcher.

164
00:07:24,111 --> 00:07:26,363
I couldn't have been more delighted

165
00:07:26,446 --> 00:07:28,532
when Kim told me
you'd be contributing to the auction.

166
00:07:28,615 --> 00:07:31,034
I've heard so many wonderful things
about your books.

167
00:07:31,118 --> 00:07:32,703
Ha ha! Well, thank you.

168
00:07:32,786 --> 00:07:34,121
Tell me, what kind of piece

169
00:07:34,204 --> 00:07:35,539
will you be donating?

170
00:07:35,622 --> 00:07:38,041
Well, uh...

171
00:07:38,125 --> 00:07:41,336
it's a still life by Jabes Stone.

172
00:07:41,420 --> 00:07:43,005
He's quite well-known
in New England.

173
00:07:43,088 --> 00:07:46,175
Yes, I know who he is, Mrs. Fletcher.

174
00:07:46,258 --> 00:07:50,512
Tell me, given the sophisticated tastes
of our clientele,

175
00:07:50,596 --> 00:07:52,973
Are you sure you couldn't find
something a little more...

176
00:07:53,056 --> 00:07:54,975
shall we say, timely?

177
00:07:55,058 --> 00:07:59,188
Mr. Jovet, I don't pretend
to be an expert on such things,

178
00:07:59,271 --> 00:08:01,565
but, uh, I was under the impression

179
00:08:01,648 --> 00:08:04,151
that one of the yardsticks
by which art is judged

180
00:08:04,234 --> 00:08:05,861
is its timelessness.

181
00:08:05,944 --> 00:08:07,863
Or has all that changed?

182
00:08:07,946 --> 00:08:09,615
Of course not, Mrs. Fletcher.

183
00:08:09,698 --> 00:08:10,991
But I'm sure you've noticed,

184
00:08:11,074 --> 00:08:12,784
when you visited the gallery,

185
00:08:12,868 --> 00:08:15,746
we've moved beyond pretty pictures.

186
00:08:15,829 --> 00:08:19,374
Yes, yes, I... I did notice.

187
00:08:19,458 --> 00:08:22,377
Frankly, Mr. Jovet,
I find your attitude surprising.

188
00:08:22,461 --> 00:08:25,255
Uh, however,
since it's for Kim's favorite charity,

189
00:08:25,339 --> 00:08:26,965
I'll drop it off in the morning.

190
00:08:27,049 --> 00:08:28,842
-Thank you.
-Good-bye.

191
00:08:30,802 --> 00:08:33,013
Ha!

192
00:08:36,391 --> 00:08:39,478
Miss Mitchell... Kim...

193
00:08:39,561 --> 00:08:42,272
The Willow Garden boys are gonna love
the new football gear,

194
00:08:42,356 --> 00:08:43,857
and they'll just have to learn to live

195
00:08:43,941 --> 00:08:45,651
with the new science lab equipment,

196
00:08:45,734 --> 00:08:48,111
which you have most generously provided.

197
00:08:48,195 --> 00:08:49,738
So from them, and from me,
our thanks.

198
00:08:49,821 --> 00:08:52,115
Dr. Swope, is old Mr. Hucko

199
00:08:52,199 --> 00:08:53,617
still teaching English?

200
00:08:53,700 --> 00:08:55,369
Yeah.

201
00:08:55,452 --> 00:08:57,162
in fact, he asked me
to remember to you...

202
00:08:57,246 --> 00:08:59,164
something about a book report
you still owe.

203
00:08:59,248 --> 00:09:01,458
[laughter]

204
00:09:01,541 --> 00:09:03,752
[forced laughter]

205
00:09:06,463 --> 00:09:08,215
Pardon me.

206
00:09:08,298 --> 00:09:10,592
I made the crab puffs myself,
Mr. Mitchell.

207
00:09:10,676 --> 00:09:12,094
They look fabulous, Frances.

208
00:09:12,177 --> 00:09:13,553
No, thank you.

209
00:09:13,637 --> 00:09:15,097
Miss Mitchell?

210
00:09:15,180 --> 00:09:17,432
I'll have one!

211
00:09:17,516 --> 00:09:19,768
[doorbell rings]

212
00:09:21,687 --> 00:09:23,272
That woman's got an attitude.

213
00:09:23,355 --> 00:09:24,815
Come on, Teddy.

214
00:09:30,362 --> 00:09:32,114
Good evening, Mr. Jovet.

215
00:09:32,197 --> 00:09:34,700
Frances! Oh, I've got it.

216
00:09:34,783 --> 00:09:36,785
You used to work
for Walter and Betsy Horak

217
00:09:36,868 --> 00:09:38,537
out in the Hamptons, right?

218
00:09:38,620 --> 00:09:39,997
I'm afraid not, Sir.

219
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,000
Oh. God, I love this space.

220
00:09:43,083 --> 00:09:45,043
Oh, do forgive the intrusion.

221
00:09:45,127 --> 00:09:47,629
Kim, as promised, the Alexis Hill.

222
00:09:47,713 --> 00:09:50,007
Oh, Philip, I love it!

223
00:09:50,090 --> 00:09:51,591
You'd better ask how much it is first.

224
00:09:51,675 --> 00:09:53,885
Oh, Mark, it's a gift.

225
00:09:53,969 --> 00:09:55,804
Kim, your work
is getting better and better.

226
00:09:55,887 --> 00:09:58,181
Let's have a talk next week...

227
00:09:58,265 --> 00:10:00,350
about giving you a one-woman show.

228
00:10:00,434 --> 00:10:02,185
Good night, all.

229
00:10:04,938 --> 00:10:06,940
Did you hear what he said?

230
00:10:07,024 --> 00:10:09,026
About my sculpture?

231
00:10:09,109 --> 00:10:11,570
And me? A one-woman show!

232
00:10:11,653 --> 00:10:13,155
Sis, I don't want to pop your balloon,

233
00:10:13,238 --> 00:10:14,489
but you know what kind of guy he is.

234
00:10:14,573 --> 00:10:16,366
Mark could be right.

235
00:10:16,450 --> 00:10:18,618
Among my clients who invest
in the art market,

236
00:10:18,702 --> 00:10:20,704
Mr. Jovet does not have
the greatest reputation.

237
00:10:20,787 --> 00:10:24,791
Oh, come on.
Will you get off his case?

238
00:10:24,875 --> 00:10:26,877
You guys are welcome
to get all warm and fuzzy about Jovet,

239
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,504
but I'm not about to turn my back on him.

240
00:10:41,975 --> 00:10:43,977
Oh, lovely, Mrs. Fletcher.

241
00:10:44,061 --> 00:10:45,604
Would you sign your name

242
00:10:45,687 --> 00:10:47,981
and the title of the painting

243
00:10:48,065 --> 00:10:49,649
on the receipt book on the desk?

244
00:10:49,733 --> 00:10:51,818
Certainly, Mr. Jovet.

245
00:10:51,902 --> 00:10:54,363
-Dede?
-Yes, Mr. Jovet?

246
00:10:54,446 --> 00:10:57,532
Philip, my charitable
nature knows no bounds.

247
00:10:57,616 --> 00:10:59,910
Remember...
The Roommate?

248
00:10:59,993 --> 00:11:01,578
the Elizabeth McKay.

249
00:11:01,661 --> 00:11:03,372
It's superb. How could I forget?

250
00:11:03,455 --> 00:11:05,499
Then you should recall selling it to me

251
00:11:05,582 --> 00:11:07,459
three years ago for $50,000,

252
00:11:07,542 --> 00:11:09,419
swearing the work
would go through the roof?

253
00:11:09,503 --> 00:11:11,671
And it should have. How was I to know

254
00:11:11,755 --> 00:11:13,965
the bottom would suddenly fall out
of representational art?

255
00:11:14,049 --> 00:11:16,093
Sign over there for me,
darling, would you?

256
00:11:16,176 --> 00:11:18,220
Well, giving it away

257
00:11:18,303 --> 00:11:20,389
will at least save me
the insurance premiums.

258
00:11:20,472 --> 00:11:22,682
-Mr. Jovet...
-It's Frances, isn't it?

259
00:11:22,766 --> 00:11:25,477
Yes, Sir. From Miss Mitchell, Sir.

260
00:11:25,560 --> 00:11:26,978
Ah.

261
00:11:27,062 --> 00:11:28,814
Lovely, isn't it?

262
00:11:28,897 --> 00:11:30,732
-Exquisite.
-Yes, it is.

263
00:11:30,816 --> 00:11:33,485
Is this going to be auctioned today,
Mr. Jovet?

264
00:11:33,568 --> 00:11:36,655
I haven't decided.
Stack it over there for the time being.

265
00:11:36,738 --> 00:11:39,908
This is so interesting.
Might I take a look about?

266
00:11:39,991 --> 00:11:42,160
-Be my guest.
-Thank you, Sir.

267
00:11:42,244 --> 00:11:44,746
Uh, precious,

268
00:11:44,830 --> 00:11:47,332
I seem to have left
my reading glasses upstairs.

269
00:11:47,416 --> 00:11:49,084
Be a dear and fetch them for me.

270
00:11:49,167 --> 00:11:50,919
Try the dresser in the back bedroom.

271
00:11:52,879 --> 00:11:54,714
Hello.

272
00:11:54,798 --> 00:11:56,842
[indistinct chatter]

273
00:11:58,802 --> 00:11:59,970
Hi.

274
00:12:01,596 --> 00:12:03,473
Good afternoon.

275
00:12:09,813 --> 00:12:12,566
Willow Gardens School for Homeless Boys,

276
00:12:12,649 --> 00:12:14,401
Kearney, Nebraska.

277
00:12:14,484 --> 00:12:19,948
Of course, we take
great pride in athletics.

278
00:12:20,031 --> 00:12:22,367
This year, our football team
was runner-up in its division.

279
00:12:22,451 --> 00:12:27,247
But we take the most pride
in our academics.

280
00:12:27,330 --> 00:12:30,959
Every year, our students
go off to universities coast-to-coast.

281
00:12:31,042 --> 00:12:33,128
Ah, yes.

282
00:12:33,211 --> 00:12:35,672
And this fine fellow, of course, is me.

283
00:12:35,755 --> 00:12:37,924
Now, if I do the digging,

284
00:12:38,008 --> 00:12:39,801
I'm afraid the new science
building we've undertaken...

285
00:12:39,885 --> 00:12:41,219
It'll never get finished.

286
00:12:41,303 --> 00:12:43,805
[laughter]

287
00:12:43,889 --> 00:12:46,558
But, you see...
Could I have some lights?

288
00:12:46,641 --> 00:12:49,227
But, you see, a recent
and most generous gift

289
00:12:49,311 --> 00:12:51,354
by Miss Kim Mitchell

290
00:12:51,438 --> 00:12:54,357
has allowed us to start
the groundbreaking

291
00:12:54,441 --> 00:12:56,234
well ahead of schedule.

292
00:12:56,318 --> 00:12:58,320
Our gratitude, Miss Mitchell.

293
00:12:58,403 --> 00:12:59,779
Please, everyone.

294
00:13:05,410 --> 00:13:08,330
Ladies and gentlemen,
let's open our hearts,

295
00:13:08,413 --> 00:13:11,833
our pocketbooks, and our auction.

296
00:13:11,917 --> 00:13:15,462
Our first offering...
Number seven on your list...

297
00:13:15,545 --> 00:13:18,465
Oh, yes, a charming little still life

298
00:13:18,548 --> 00:13:21,843
entitled A Day's Catch,
by Jabes Stone,

299
00:13:21,927 --> 00:13:23,553
donated by J.B. Fletcher.

300
00:13:23,637 --> 00:13:26,139
-200!
-200? Do I hear 250?

301
00:13:26,223 --> 00:13:27,557
-250!
-350!

302
00:13:27,641 --> 00:13:29,768
350? I hear 350? Do I hear 4?

303
00:13:29,851 --> 00:13:30,977
-500!
-6!

304
00:13:31,061 --> 00:13:32,395
I hear 6. Who'll give me 7?

305
00:13:32,479 --> 00:13:33,897
-700!
-800!

306
00:13:33,980 --> 00:13:35,148
-900!
-9!

307
00:13:35,232 --> 00:13:36,983
-$1,000!
-I hear $1,000...

308
00:13:37,067 --> 00:13:39,778
going once, going twice...

309
00:13:39,861 --> 00:13:41,279
and sold...

310
00:13:41,363 --> 00:13:43,698
to Mr. Martin Gross for 1,000.

311
00:13:43,782 --> 00:13:45,617
Lovely!

312
00:13:45,700 --> 00:13:49,371
Will you be in town long, Doctor?

313
00:13:49,454 --> 00:13:51,373
Well, I hope long enough

314
00:13:51,456 --> 00:13:53,416
to get to know you better.

315
00:13:53,500 --> 00:13:56,294
And now we have a truly remarkable work

316
00:13:56,378 --> 00:13:58,713
by an artist just coming into her own.

317
00:13:58,797 --> 00:14:02,259
The Relentless Warrior
by Kim Mitchell.

318
00:14:02,342 --> 00:14:06,304
We've had a jump bid of $1,500
by Mr. Bert Lown.

319
00:14:06,388 --> 00:14:09,474
Going once, going twice...

320
00:14:09,558 --> 00:14:13,228
and sold to Mr. Lown for 1,500.

321
00:14:13,311 --> 00:14:17,440
Next up, number 24...

322
00:14:17,524 --> 00:14:20,610
An oil on canvas, The Roommate
by Elizabeth McKay--

323
00:14:20,694 --> 00:14:23,071
Philip...that's not my painting.

324
00:14:23,154 --> 00:14:24,906
That's not The Roommate.

325
00:14:24,990 --> 00:14:26,992
Uh, Dede?

326
00:14:27,075 --> 00:14:29,619
Beats me, Mr. Jovet.
I'll have to look in the back.

327
00:14:29,703 --> 00:14:31,371
Oh, never mind.
We'll move on for now.

328
00:14:31,454 --> 00:14:32,831
My apologies, Mrs. Arthur.

329
00:14:32,914 --> 00:14:35,750
We'll sort this out later.

330
00:14:35,834 --> 00:14:38,753
And here's an artist
familiar to most of you...

331
00:14:38,837 --> 00:14:41,131
Laurie Witt,
and one of her popular Manhattan scenes.

332
00:14:41,214 --> 00:14:45,176
Bidding begins at an affordable $2,500.

333
00:14:45,260 --> 00:14:46,928
Come on, honey. Our first art

334
00:14:47,012 --> 00:14:48,722
for our first apartment.

335
00:14:48,805 --> 00:14:51,349
Teddy, we don't have the money
to buy the frame.

336
00:14:51,433 --> 00:14:54,436
Silly, your sister could give it to us
as a housewarming gift.

337
00:14:54,519 --> 00:14:57,814
Ah! I hear 2,500.
Do I hear 3,000?

338
00:14:57,897 --> 00:15:00,817
Going once, going twice...

339
00:15:00,900 --> 00:15:03,528
and sold for $2,500

340
00:15:03,612 --> 00:15:05,697
to the lovely young lady
with Mr. Mitchell.

341
00:15:05,780 --> 00:15:07,991
Teddy?

342
00:15:08,074 --> 00:15:11,661
Oh, my God.
Do you know what you just did?

343
00:15:11,745 --> 00:15:13,580
You want to pick it up on Monday?

344
00:15:13,663 --> 00:15:15,081
Of course, Mr. Lown.

345
00:15:15,165 --> 00:15:16,458
I'll have it ready for you.

346
00:15:16,541 --> 00:15:18,168
-Thank you.
-Thank you.

347
00:15:18,251 --> 00:15:20,587
Uh, forgetting something, Mr. Mitchell?

348
00:15:20,670 --> 00:15:22,380
Come on, Jovet,
you know as well as I do

349
00:15:22,464 --> 00:15:23,923
that she didn't mean to bid.

350
00:15:24,007 --> 00:15:26,509
I must insist you honor the commitment.

351
00:15:26,593 --> 00:15:28,845
Yeah. Well...

352
00:15:28,928 --> 00:15:31,556
I insist you get your oily hands off me.

353
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,100
and while you're at it,
stay the hell away from my sister!

354
00:15:34,184 --> 00:15:36,811
-Mark?
-Break it up!

355
00:15:36,895 --> 00:15:39,105
Get him out of here!

356
00:15:39,189 --> 00:15:41,274
Let's go!

357
00:15:41,358 --> 00:15:43,360
My apologies, everybody.

358
00:15:43,443 --> 00:15:46,404
Please do stay
and enjoy the refreshments.

359
00:15:50,909 --> 00:15:52,410
Mark!

360
00:15:54,663 --> 00:15:56,039
I should never have brought him.

361
00:15:56,122 --> 00:15:58,083
It's all right, darling.

362
00:15:58,166 --> 00:16:00,085
Well, no one was hurt.

363
00:16:00,168 --> 00:16:02,921
I think he just had
a little too much of the grape.

364
00:16:03,004 --> 00:16:05,048
Don't worry about the misunderstanding.

365
00:16:05,131 --> 00:16:06,633
I'll pay for Teddy's gaffe.

366
00:16:06,716 --> 00:16:08,301
Oh, no, Bert. I couldn't let you...

367
00:16:08,385 --> 00:16:10,011
I don't want to hear
another word about it.

368
00:16:10,095 --> 00:16:11,680
Excuse me.

369
00:16:16,184 --> 00:16:17,977
Do you believe him?

370
00:16:18,061 --> 00:16:20,855
You didn't lie.

371
00:16:27,904 --> 00:16:30,699
[indistinct chatter]

372
00:16:30,782 --> 00:16:32,575
Splendid job, Mr. Jovet.

373
00:16:32,659 --> 00:16:34,577
Oh, your checks, Dr. Swope...

374
00:16:34,661 --> 00:16:36,037
made out to the Foundation,
as you asked.

375
00:16:36,121 --> 00:16:37,497
Very good. How'd we do?

376
00:16:37,580 --> 00:16:39,124
$220,000.

377
00:16:39,207 --> 00:16:40,959
Oh, my gosh. That is lovely.

378
00:16:41,042 --> 00:16:43,461
So if I'm not mistaken,
your fee comes to...

379
00:16:43,545 --> 00:16:45,296
$22,000. Yes?

380
00:16:45,380 --> 00:16:47,549
You're very mistaken, Doctor.

381
00:16:47,632 --> 00:16:50,135
The gallery's share
comes to considerably more than that.

382
00:16:50,218 --> 00:16:52,429
Excuse me?

383
00:16:52,512 --> 00:16:53,972
The gallery's share of these proceeds

384
00:16:54,055 --> 00:16:57,016
will be exactly half... $110,000...

385
00:16:57,100 --> 00:16:59,060
payable in cash
no later than one hour

386
00:16:59,144 --> 00:17:00,645
after the banks open tomorrow.

387
00:17:00,729 --> 00:17:02,230
What the hell are you talking about?

388
00:17:02,313 --> 00:17:03,732
I'm a man who likes to know

389
00:17:03,815 --> 00:17:06,109
who he's dealing with...Doctor.

390
00:17:06,192 --> 00:17:07,610
I made a few phone calls,

391
00:17:07,694 --> 00:17:09,612
got some interesting responses.

392
00:17:09,696 --> 00:17:11,740
Well, I don't know what you mean.

393
00:17:11,823 --> 00:17:13,575
There's one call I haven't yet made...

394
00:17:13,658 --> 00:17:15,326
to the police.

395
00:17:18,329 --> 00:17:20,165
Your checks, Doctor.

396
00:17:32,343 --> 00:17:34,554
Did we have a good day, Mr. Jovet?

397
00:17:34,637 --> 00:17:37,640
We made the rent... and then some.

398
00:17:37,724 --> 00:17:39,934
Good night, Dede.

399
00:17:48,777 --> 00:17:50,779
Where are you going?
You were dying to watch the game.

400
00:17:50,862 --> 00:17:53,364
I changed my mind.
I want to pick up tomorrow's paper

401
00:17:53,448 --> 00:17:54,991
and check out
the employment listings,

402
00:17:55,074 --> 00:17:56,576
get a jump on the competition.

403
00:17:56,659 --> 00:17:58,244
Great. You're still bent out of shape

404
00:17:58,328 --> 00:17:59,913
over this afternoon, aren't you?

405
00:17:59,996 --> 00:18:02,332
I've been happier, yeah.

406
00:18:02,415 --> 00:18:04,375
You're blaming me, is that it?

407
00:18:04,459 --> 00:18:07,754
Well, don't expect to find me here
when you get back!

408
00:18:09,172 --> 00:18:10,840
Mr. Mitchell.

409
00:18:12,133 --> 00:18:13,593
Is he all right?

410
00:18:13,676 --> 00:18:17,597
Frances, get a life, OK?

411
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:19,682
He doesn't need a nanny.

412
00:18:29,484 --> 00:18:31,861
Look, everything's fine, Sondra.

413
00:18:31,945 --> 00:18:33,488
I reported the loss of your painting,

414
00:18:33,571 --> 00:18:35,490
and the police will be in touch with you.

415
00:18:35,573 --> 00:18:37,617
So you can go ahead
with your insurance claim.

416
00:18:37,700 --> 00:18:39,619
[chattering]

417
00:18:39,702 --> 00:18:41,579
You're welcome. Bye.

418
00:18:56,803 --> 00:18:59,973
[rings]

419
00:19:02,642 --> 00:19:04,352
Reynolds?

420
00:19:04,435 --> 00:19:08,064
No, Mr. Jovet,
this is Jessica Fletcher.

421
00:19:08,147 --> 00:19:10,525
I'm so glad I caught you.

422
00:19:10,608 --> 00:19:12,777
I think I might've left
one of my manuscripts

423
00:19:12,861 --> 00:19:14,779
in your coatroom this afternoon.

424
00:19:14,863 --> 00:19:16,698
Oh, you're in luck, Mrs. Fletcher.

425
00:19:16,781 --> 00:19:18,867
Somebody turned it in.

426
00:19:18,950 --> 00:19:21,077
Look, I was just going to leave.
How soon can you...

427
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,289
-Uhh!
-Mr. Jovet?

428
00:19:24,372 --> 00:19:27,333
Are you all right? Mr. Jovet?

429
00:19:39,304 --> 00:19:42,557
So I'm still liable
for 50 bucks a card, and I have...

430
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,894
I mean, I had
an awful lot of credit cards.

431
00:19:45,977 --> 00:19:47,562
-[chattering]
-Oh, yeah.

432
00:19:47,645 --> 00:19:49,105
Let me know if something turns up,

433
00:19:49,188 --> 00:19:51,316
by some miracle.

434
00:19:51,399 --> 00:19:53,234
It's embarrassing.

435
00:19:53,318 --> 00:19:56,029
I was pickpocketed
on the subway coming in.

436
00:19:56,112 --> 00:19:58,364
The old bump-and-stall.

437
00:19:58,448 --> 00:20:00,617
Hmm. Meanwhile, back at the homicide,

438
00:20:00,700 --> 00:20:03,328
like it or else, Jessica,
you're my ear witness.

439
00:20:03,411 --> 00:20:06,331
Ear witness?
That's very good, Artie.

440
00:20:06,414 --> 00:20:08,583
Thanks. I should get paid for it.

441
00:20:08,666 --> 00:20:11,544
Anyway, you're on the phone
with Jovet when he gets killed.

442
00:20:11,628 --> 00:20:13,713
Do you hear any sounds
in the background?

443
00:20:13,796 --> 00:20:16,174
Well, just a groan.
I did hear footsteps

444
00:20:16,257 --> 00:20:18,468
after his body fell, but that's all.

445
00:20:18,551 --> 00:20:21,971
Stabbed in the back
with a statue of Don Quixote.

446
00:20:22,055 --> 00:20:25,433
Robbery. Nice, simple motive.

447
00:20:25,516 --> 00:20:27,018
His watch and his wallet gone.

448
00:20:27,101 --> 00:20:30,396
Robbery, Artie? I'm not so sure.

449
00:20:33,858 --> 00:20:35,735
Excuse me, Miss Fletcher.

450
00:20:35,818 --> 00:20:37,654
Lieutenant, no forced entry,

451
00:20:37,737 --> 00:20:39,405
nobody tripped the alarm system.

452
00:20:39,489 --> 00:20:41,324
so it figures that our victim
knew his killer

453
00:20:41,407 --> 00:20:43,451
and let him in,
or the killer had a key.

454
00:20:43,534 --> 00:20:46,037
In either case, I'd say
we've got premeditated murder here.

455
00:20:46,120 --> 00:20:48,373
Thanks for the theory, Henderson.

456
00:20:48,456 --> 00:20:49,791
You were saying?

457
00:20:49,874 --> 00:20:51,626
Well, a $25,000 price tag,

458
00:20:51,709 --> 00:20:53,044
and it's quite small.

459
00:20:53,127 --> 00:20:54,796
Right, right.

460
00:20:54,879 --> 00:20:57,048
A thief could put that
under his coat in a second,

461
00:20:57,131 --> 00:20:58,925
so why just settle
for a watch and a wallet?

462
00:20:59,008 --> 00:21:00,802
Henderson, you were right.

463
00:21:00,885 --> 00:21:03,262
I must have robbery on the brain.

464
00:21:03,346 --> 00:21:07,767
Artie, the notation here
on Mr. Jovet's notepad...

465
00:21:07,850 --> 00:21:10,687
"Reynolds."
That's what he said

466
00:21:10,770 --> 00:21:12,480
when he answered the phone,

467
00:21:12,563 --> 00:21:14,899
as if he was expecting
this Reynolds to call.

468
00:21:14,983 --> 00:21:18,152
Artists have agents.
We'll check Jovet's files and phone book.

469
00:21:18,236 --> 00:21:19,988
Excuse me again, but apparently,

470
00:21:20,071 --> 00:21:21,698
there was a real robbery here.

471
00:21:21,781 --> 00:21:23,825
Dede... Mrs. Gorman...
claims to have reported

472
00:21:23,908 --> 00:21:26,911
a painting missing last night.
It's called The Roommate.

473
00:21:26,995 --> 00:21:28,371
Of course.
There was a foul-up during the auction,

474
00:21:28,454 --> 00:21:29,914
and they couldn't find it.

475
00:21:29,998 --> 00:21:33,418
A painting's gone in the afternoon,

476
00:21:33,501 --> 00:21:36,379
and there is a murder at night.

477
00:21:36,462 --> 00:21:38,673
I cannot connect the two.

478
00:21:38,756 --> 00:21:41,884
By the way, have you got
those lottery tickets we bought?

479
00:21:41,968 --> 00:21:43,678
We're in the middle
of a murder investigation.

480
00:21:43,761 --> 00:21:45,263
You're talking lottery ticket?

481
00:21:45,346 --> 00:21:47,515
I don't want to let myself
get too excited,

482
00:21:47,598 --> 00:21:50,101
but these winning numbers
look a lot like the ones

483
00:21:50,184 --> 00:21:51,811
I remember on our ticket.

484
00:21:51,894 --> 00:21:53,771
The jackpot is 2 million, and...

485
00:21:53,855 --> 00:21:55,815
You're kidding.

486
00:21:57,859 --> 00:21:59,694
I'll talk to you about it later, OK?

487
00:21:59,777 --> 00:22:01,738
-But...
-I said later.

488
00:22:01,821 --> 00:22:03,656
Give you a lift, Jessica?

489
00:22:05,742 --> 00:22:08,786
[Sondra]
I don't usually drink in the afternoon,

490
00:22:08,870 --> 00:22:12,415
but then, I don't usually have
the police here in the morning.

491
00:22:12,498 --> 00:22:16,085
-Here, Let me.
-Thank you.

492
00:22:16,169 --> 00:22:18,713
They don't think that you have anything

493
00:22:18,796 --> 00:22:21,632
to do with this... this murder, do they?

494
00:22:21,716 --> 00:22:24,010
Who knows what they think?

495
00:22:24,093 --> 00:22:26,471
Did you know Philip Jovet well?

496
00:22:28,890 --> 00:22:31,476
You didn't come here
to grill me, too, did you?

497
00:22:31,559 --> 00:22:34,562
No, not at all.
But you must understand

498
00:22:34,645 --> 00:22:36,314
that a man in my position...

499
00:22:36,397 --> 00:22:39,192
what with this murder and everything...

500
00:22:39,275 --> 00:22:42,570
I can't let Willow Gardens
be touched with scandal.

501
00:22:42,653 --> 00:22:44,489
I admire your...

502
00:22:45,990 --> 00:22:48,826
dedication, Arthur.

503
00:22:51,162 --> 00:22:53,331
And your private life?

504
00:22:53,414 --> 00:22:56,250
Well, that can be touched, Sondra...

505
00:22:56,334 --> 00:22:58,294
Gently.

506
00:23:04,550 --> 00:23:07,970
I just can't seem to get
Philip Jovet out of my mind.

507
00:23:08,054 --> 00:23:10,223
I mean, you hear about violence nonstop,

508
00:23:10,306 --> 00:23:12,266
but when it's somebody you know,
that you just saw...

509
00:23:12,350 --> 00:23:13,893
[Frances]
Excuse me, ma'am.

510
00:23:13,976 --> 00:23:16,270
Uh, hello.

511
00:23:16,354 --> 00:23:18,356
I'm sorry to barge in like this,

512
00:23:18,439 --> 00:23:20,942
but I need to have a word
with Mrs. Fletcher.

513
00:23:21,025 --> 00:23:23,111
What is it, Artie?

514
00:23:23,194 --> 00:23:24,987
Jessica, how come you didn't tell me

515
00:23:25,071 --> 00:23:26,739
that Mark Mitchell
took a poke at Jovet?

516
00:23:26,823 --> 00:23:29,325
Oh. I'm sorry, Artie.

517
00:23:29,408 --> 00:23:31,119
I didn't mean to withhold anything.

518
00:23:31,202 --> 00:23:32,703
it simply never occurred to me

519
00:23:32,787 --> 00:23:34,247
that it had anything to do
with the murder.

520
00:23:34,330 --> 00:23:36,290
According to Dede,
Jovet's assistant,

521
00:23:36,374 --> 00:23:39,210
"Brother Marcus"
had an ongoing feud with the victim.

522
00:23:39,293 --> 00:23:40,878
Mr. Mitchell?

523
00:23:40,962 --> 00:23:42,839
Yes?

524
00:23:42,922 --> 00:23:45,341
For the record, you don't deny

525
00:23:45,424 --> 00:23:47,343
taking a swing at Mr. Jovet?

526
00:23:47,426 --> 00:23:49,512
Of course not.

527
00:23:49,595 --> 00:23:52,098
My only regret is that I didn't deck him.
He had it coming.

528
00:23:52,181 --> 00:23:55,393
You're leading up
to a justifiable homicide.

529
00:23:55,476 --> 00:23:58,479
Oh, Lieutenant,
my brother's not a murderer.

530
00:23:58,563 --> 00:24:00,773
She's right, Lieutenant.
Besides, ask around.

531
00:24:00,857 --> 00:24:03,025
there must be a list
as long as the FDR Drive

532
00:24:03,109 --> 00:24:05,403
of people who hated Jovet.

533
00:24:05,486 --> 00:24:07,446
He had the reputation of a pickpocket.

534
00:24:07,530 --> 00:24:09,991
Look, Miss Mitchell
is upset enough

535
00:24:10,074 --> 00:24:12,201
that her sculpture was used
as a murder weapon,

536
00:24:12,285 --> 00:24:14,412
so we'd appreciate it
if you'd just make your point

537
00:24:14,495 --> 00:24:15,997
and then leave us alone.

538
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:17,957
Done.

539
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,168
Our lab turned up some prints
on the sculpture.

540
00:24:20,251 --> 00:24:22,420
There were yours, Mr. Mitchell.

541
00:24:22,503 --> 00:24:24,755
Seems that the NCIC had them on file,

542
00:24:24,839 --> 00:24:26,883
along with a record
of several other arrests...

543
00:24:26,966 --> 00:24:28,467
You know, up at Cabot Cove.

544
00:24:28,551 --> 00:24:30,887
He was a teenager, for God's sake.

545
00:24:30,970 --> 00:24:33,431
Thanks, Sis.
I can take care of myself.

546
00:24:33,514 --> 00:24:35,975
I was showing it off to people
before the auction.

547
00:24:36,058 --> 00:24:39,729
He's right. I saw him
with the sculpture in his hand.

548
00:24:39,812 --> 00:24:43,065
Where were you at 9 PM last night?

549
00:24:43,149 --> 00:24:45,318
Me? Um...

550
00:24:45,401 --> 00:24:47,862
-Teddy and I went to dinner.
-We caught a movie.

551
00:24:53,576 --> 00:24:56,204
OK. I left about 8:30

552
00:24:56,287 --> 00:24:58,247
and went to Jovet's gallery.

553
00:24:58,331 --> 00:25:00,416
He let me in.

554
00:25:00,499 --> 00:25:02,877
I was angry as hell
for what he pulled on Kim

555
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,421
and what he did to Teddy and me.

556
00:25:05,504 --> 00:25:07,215
I tried to get your check back, Bert,

557
00:25:07,298 --> 00:25:09,008
but he flat-out refused.

558
00:25:09,091 --> 00:25:11,928
I was ready to beat the hell out of him.

559
00:25:12,011 --> 00:25:14,388
Anyway, I chilled out and I left.

560
00:25:14,472 --> 00:25:16,432
He was still alive.

561
00:25:16,515 --> 00:25:17,975
Get your coat.

562
00:25:32,990 --> 00:25:35,910
Look, it's only for questioning.

563
00:25:35,993 --> 00:25:38,037
They haven't charged him with a crime.

564
00:25:38,120 --> 00:25:39,997
The night's still young.

565
00:25:42,875 --> 00:25:45,586
Kim, I am so sorry over the alibi,

566
00:25:45,670 --> 00:25:48,339
but Mark looked like a deer
stunned in the headlights.

567
00:25:48,422 --> 00:25:51,092
So you wound up punching
his lights out instead.

568
00:25:51,175 --> 00:25:54,303
I wouldn't hurt him for the world.

569
00:25:54,387 --> 00:25:56,222
Like I just told the Lieutenant,

570
00:25:56,305 --> 00:25:57,848
When Mark said he was going out

571
00:25:57,932 --> 00:25:59,100
to get the job section of the paper,

572
00:25:59,183 --> 00:26:00,351
I split from your loft

573
00:26:00,434 --> 00:26:01,852
and went back to my place.

574
00:26:01,936 --> 00:26:04,188
Anyone see you?

575
00:26:04,272 --> 00:26:06,899
What? Did you just fall out of the tree?

576
00:26:06,983 --> 00:26:08,985
I hardly knew Jovet!

577
00:26:09,068 --> 00:26:11,445
I'll see you around.

578
00:26:18,953 --> 00:26:21,455
I really do try to see
the best in people,

579
00:26:21,539 --> 00:26:23,040
but with her...

580
00:26:29,964 --> 00:26:32,091
Oh. The Wall Street Journal.

581
00:26:32,174 --> 00:26:34,719
Teddy?

582
00:26:34,802 --> 00:26:37,096
Bert?

583
00:26:37,179 --> 00:26:41,309
Oh, he was probably just giving her
some stock tips.

584
00:26:41,392 --> 00:26:43,227
You see? Over-the-counter,

585
00:26:43,311 --> 00:26:46,272
cheap stuff... That's all Teddy
could afford.

586
00:26:48,524 --> 00:26:50,860
Yeah, you can release her
on my recognizance.

587
00:26:50,943 --> 00:26:52,445
Will you put her on?

588
00:26:54,447 --> 00:26:56,615
Bloomingdale's.
Store alarms went off.

589
00:26:56,699 --> 00:26:58,451
My wife tried to use a credit card

590
00:26:58,534 --> 00:27:00,494
that I thought was in my wallet.

591
00:27:00,578 --> 00:27:03,331
-[yelling]
-Doris, relax.

592
00:27:03,414 --> 00:27:04,915
Will you, please, Doris?

593
00:27:04,999 --> 00:27:07,877
I... I reported the card stolen.

594
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,005
I just didn't report it to you.

595
00:27:11,088 --> 00:27:13,507
-Doris...
-[yelling]

596
00:27:13,591 --> 00:27:17,386
Doris, I will see you
at home in an hour, OK?

597
00:27:17,470 --> 00:27:20,222
Yeah, yeah. Mwah.

598
00:27:20,306 --> 00:27:21,974
Henderson...

599
00:27:22,058 --> 00:27:25,144
I do not want to talk
about the lottery ticket.

600
00:27:25,227 --> 00:27:28,105
Fine. Let's talk
about Philip Jovet's date book.

601
00:27:28,189 --> 00:27:29,648
Look.

602
00:27:40,201 --> 00:27:42,828
You're absolutely right, darling.
Teddy called

603
00:27:42,912 --> 00:27:44,830
and asked me for some tips
on cheapo stocks.

604
00:27:44,914 --> 00:27:47,333
I had one of the interns
at the office pick a few.

605
00:27:47,416 --> 00:27:49,877
That's all of it.

606
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,922
Oh, this murder,
your concern about Mark...

607
00:27:53,005 --> 00:27:55,424
It's gonna be OK.

608
00:27:55,508 --> 00:27:58,427
Well, you do seem
to be in good hands,

609
00:27:58,511 --> 00:28:00,346
so I think I'll be running along.

610
00:28:00,429 --> 00:28:03,099
I'm sorry, Jessica.
I'm such a mess tonight.

611
00:28:03,182 --> 00:28:04,683
[doorbell rings]

612
00:28:04,767 --> 00:28:06,602
Mr. Mitchell.

613
00:28:08,354 --> 00:28:10,272
[Kim] Mark!

614
00:28:10,356 --> 00:28:12,691
Good evening,
Miss Mitchell.

615
00:28:12,775 --> 00:28:15,277
We finally turned an alibi for him.

616
00:28:15,361 --> 00:28:17,571
The two women
who owned the pet boutique next door

617
00:28:17,655 --> 00:28:19,907
were closing up
and saw Mark leave when he said.

618
00:28:19,990 --> 00:28:21,992
They could see Jovet was still alive.

619
00:28:22,076 --> 00:28:23,411
Thank God.

620
00:28:23,494 --> 00:28:25,204
That's the good news.

621
00:28:25,287 --> 00:28:28,082
This item in Jovet's date book

622
00:28:28,165 --> 00:28:30,084
says he spent
a week last summer at Bar Harbor

623
00:28:30,167 --> 00:28:34,130
with somebody with the initials of K.M.

624
00:28:34,213 --> 00:28:37,299
Would you care to comment on that,
Miss Mitchell?

625
00:28:40,261 --> 00:28:41,804
I...

626
00:28:46,142 --> 00:28:49,103
Philip and I had a brief affair.

627
00:28:49,186 --> 00:28:50,771
It was over months ago,

628
00:28:50,855 --> 00:28:52,940
long before I met you, Bert.

629
00:28:57,111 --> 00:28:59,196
Lieutenant,
you have our statements.

630
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,073
We were together all evening.

631
00:29:01,157 --> 00:29:03,826
Right. Conveniently slumming,

632
00:29:03,909 --> 00:29:06,287
having dinner in Grand Central Station
at a vending machine

633
00:29:06,370 --> 00:29:08,998
that can neither corroborate or deny.

634
00:29:09,081 --> 00:29:11,459
But, Artie, why would she kill him?

635
00:29:11,542 --> 00:29:14,670
Rejection, revenge, jealousy...

636
00:29:14,753 --> 00:29:16,630
motive du jour.

637
00:29:16,714 --> 00:29:20,843
Mr. Lown, you sure you don't want
to rethink your story?

638
00:29:23,345 --> 00:29:26,891
I was afraid Mark would lose it

639
00:29:26,974 --> 00:29:29,727
and go after Philip.

640
00:29:29,810 --> 00:29:32,146
So I went to the gallery

641
00:29:32,229 --> 00:29:34,231
in the hopes that I could
straighten things out.

642
00:29:34,315 --> 00:29:36,442
when I got there,
it was locked up tight.

643
00:29:36,525 --> 00:29:39,069
I guess Mark had already been there.

644
00:29:39,153 --> 00:29:41,280
for all I know, Philip was already dead.

645
00:29:41,363 --> 00:29:43,616
You didn't let yourself
into that apartment,

646
00:29:43,699 --> 00:29:46,702
go down the stairs into
that gallery and kill him?

647
00:29:46,785 --> 00:29:48,913
The victim's first entry

648
00:29:48,996 --> 00:29:51,457
the day after he got back
to Manhattan from Bar Harbor...

649
00:29:51,540 --> 00:29:55,294
he wrote... "key for K.M."

650
00:29:55,377 --> 00:29:59,006
You wouldn't still happen
to have that key, would you?

651
00:29:59,089 --> 00:30:01,133
My God.

652
00:30:01,217 --> 00:30:03,802
His assistant Dede told us

653
00:30:03,886 --> 00:30:05,721
she had the key duplicated for you.

654
00:30:05,804 --> 00:30:08,057
Besides which...
we've already established

655
00:30:08,140 --> 00:30:10,726
that your fingerprints
are on the murder weapon.

656
00:30:10,809 --> 00:30:12,353
Artie?

657
00:30:12,436 --> 00:30:14,647
Jessica, we are talking means, motive,

658
00:30:14,730 --> 00:30:17,566
opportunity
and a false statement to the police.

659
00:30:17,650 --> 00:30:21,570
Miss Mitchell, this is
going to be a charge

660
00:30:21,654 --> 00:30:24,031
of first-degree murder.

661
00:30:24,114 --> 00:30:26,075
I...

662
00:30:28,369 --> 00:30:30,037
[sobbing]

663
00:30:37,253 --> 00:30:39,463
Jessica, I'm so sorry for the lies

664
00:30:39,547 --> 00:30:41,715
about my relationship
with Philip Jovet.

665
00:30:41,799 --> 00:30:44,176
I was just so terrified I'd lose Bert

666
00:30:44,260 --> 00:30:45,719
if he found out.

667
00:30:45,803 --> 00:30:47,304
I understand.

668
00:30:47,388 --> 00:30:50,099
and he was such a dear
the way he took it.

669
00:30:50,182 --> 00:30:52,643
It was all the sweepstakes money,
you know.

670
00:30:52,726 --> 00:30:55,104
Philip was just all over me.

671
00:30:55,187 --> 00:30:58,357
And surprise, surprise... Little Kim
bought into the strokes,

672
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:00,401
the attention.

673
00:31:00,484 --> 00:31:03,904
I had it all figured out
before we even got back from Maine.

674
00:31:03,988 --> 00:31:06,240
He admitted I was right.

675
00:31:06,323 --> 00:31:09,827
Our relationship
was basically professional from then on.

676
00:31:09,910 --> 00:31:13,455
And your key to his apartment?

677
00:31:13,539 --> 00:31:16,959
I forgot about it.
He forgot about it.

678
00:31:17,042 --> 00:31:20,963
You know, sometimes I wish
I could just give all the money back.

679
00:31:21,046 --> 00:31:23,507
Some line-up.

680
00:31:23,591 --> 00:31:25,467
Did you know that all pickpockets
look alike?

681
00:31:25,551 --> 00:31:27,553
For what it's worth,
the newspaper reported

682
00:31:27,636 --> 00:31:29,555
that a winning lottery ticket
was purchased in Manhattan...

683
00:31:29,638 --> 00:31:31,015
2 million.

684
00:31:31,098 --> 00:31:32,391
Listen, if that's our winning ticket,

685
00:31:32,474 --> 00:31:35,311
I promise I'll make it up to you.

686
00:31:35,394 --> 00:31:36,854
Any luck with the missing painting?

687
00:31:36,937 --> 00:31:39,898
The Roommate? Nah.

688
00:31:39,982 --> 00:31:42,526
Jovet tore this
out of a two-year-old catalogue.

689
00:31:42,610 --> 00:31:45,195
We circulated it, but no cigar.

690
00:31:45,279 --> 00:31:47,823
And this Mr. Reynolds...

691
00:31:47,906 --> 00:31:50,743
The one that Mr. Jovet jotted
on his notepad?

692
00:31:50,826 --> 00:31:52,786
The agent... Zip.

693
00:31:52,870 --> 00:31:55,039
What kind of an artist
would want to be represented

694
00:31:55,122 --> 00:31:57,458
by an agent that nobody can find?

695
00:31:57,541 --> 00:32:00,711
Artie...the Treasury has agents,

696
00:32:00,794 --> 00:32:02,713
the FBI, the CIA!

697
00:32:02,796 --> 00:32:04,840
That is worth taking a shot at.

698
00:32:04,923 --> 00:32:06,675
Start with the FBI.

699
00:32:06,759 --> 00:32:08,344
Why would Philip call them?

700
00:32:08,427 --> 00:32:10,220
[line rings]

701
00:32:10,304 --> 00:32:12,681
Yeah, Lieutenant Arthur Gelber, NYPD.

702
00:32:12,765 --> 00:32:15,976
Listen, do you have
an agent named Reynolds around there?

703
00:32:16,060 --> 00:32:18,145
Yes, we have a Reynolds.

704
00:32:18,228 --> 00:32:19,813
They got one in stock.
Thomas B.,

705
00:32:19,897 --> 00:32:22,149
Fugitive Division.

706
00:32:22,232 --> 00:32:24,693
Uh, yeah. Agent Reynolds?

707
00:32:24,777 --> 00:32:26,904
Look, have you been contacted

708
00:32:26,987 --> 00:32:29,281
by a guy named Philip Jovet recently?

709
00:32:29,365 --> 00:32:31,992
-[chattering]
-Uh-huh, right.

710
00:32:32,076 --> 00:32:35,913
-Right, terrific.
-I'll get back to you.

711
00:32:35,996 --> 00:32:38,123
-Good news?
-More like no news.

712
00:32:38,207 --> 00:32:41,418
All Reynolds got that Saturday afternoon
was a message from Jovet.

713
00:32:41,502 --> 00:32:43,545
When he called him back that night,
the line was busy,

714
00:32:43,629 --> 00:32:45,506
the phone
probably lying there on the floor

715
00:32:45,589 --> 00:32:47,174
next to his body.

716
00:32:47,257 --> 00:32:49,051
so we may never know
why Jovet called.

717
00:32:49,134 --> 00:32:51,595
Look, why don't you make it easy on us

718
00:32:51,679 --> 00:32:55,557
and let us in on where you ditched
the victim's watch and wallet?

719
00:32:55,641 --> 00:32:58,686
Lieutenant, I didn't kill anybody.

720
00:32:58,769 --> 00:33:01,522
Artie, what about the painting?

721
00:33:01,605 --> 00:33:04,650
The painting was stolen hours
before the murder.

722
00:33:04,733 --> 00:33:07,403
Hang in, Kim.

723
00:33:07,486 --> 00:33:10,989
I have a feeling that Mrs. Arthur

724
00:33:11,073 --> 00:33:13,450
may have some answers for us.

725
00:33:18,205 --> 00:33:22,543
I rely on the advice
of dealers like Mr. Jovet.

726
00:33:22,626 --> 00:33:24,461
He convinced me that this artist...

727
00:33:24,545 --> 00:33:27,339
this Elizabeth McKay...
would become very hot.

728
00:33:27,423 --> 00:33:29,550
Ah. Any particular reason?

729
00:33:31,218 --> 00:33:32,886
She was a convicted murderer

730
00:33:32,970 --> 00:33:34,555
serving a life sentence.

731
00:33:34,638 --> 00:33:36,682
Why a painting he touted me onto

732
00:33:36,765 --> 00:33:38,767
three years ago for 50,000

733
00:33:38,851 --> 00:33:40,936
is worth only 5 today is beyond me.

734
00:33:41,019 --> 00:33:43,647
Yes, I'll get back my 50,000

735
00:33:43,731 --> 00:33:46,984
from the insurance company
if nobody finds it.

736
00:33:47,067 --> 00:33:49,820
but I had nothing to do with its theft.

737
00:33:49,903 --> 00:33:51,697
So I'm afraid there isn't much I can say

738
00:33:51,780 --> 00:33:53,365
to help your friend Kim.

739
00:33:53,449 --> 00:33:55,409
And in the three years,
no one came to you

740
00:33:55,492 --> 00:33:57,161
with an offer for The Roommate?

741
00:33:57,244 --> 00:33:59,288
Not one.

742
00:33:59,371 --> 00:34:01,373
The charity auction was a chance

743
00:34:01,457 --> 00:34:04,251
to give the damn thing away
for a tax write-off.

744
00:34:07,171 --> 00:34:09,339
That nice Dr. Swope...

745
00:34:09,423 --> 00:34:11,258
Now I'm a little embarrassed.

746
00:34:11,341 --> 00:34:13,343
What I had to offer wasn't very much

747
00:34:13,427 --> 00:34:15,262
for such a worthy cause.

748
00:34:15,345 --> 00:34:16,889
And because the picture was stolen,

749
00:34:16,972 --> 00:34:18,891
I ended up giving
Willow Gardens nothing.

750
00:34:18,974 --> 00:34:20,893
Well, I'm quite sure that the school

751
00:34:20,976 --> 00:34:22,686
will be pleased to get a check.

752
00:34:22,770 --> 00:34:24,938
I've already written one.

753
00:34:25,022 --> 00:34:27,441
I wanted to give it
to Dr. Swope personally,

754
00:34:27,524 --> 00:34:29,568
but I never got the name of his hotel.

755
00:34:29,651 --> 00:34:31,737
Oh.

756
00:34:31,820 --> 00:34:34,281
Anyway, I saved the school newsletter.

757
00:34:34,364 --> 00:34:35,991
They handed it out at the auction.

758
00:34:36,074 --> 00:34:38,202
So I'll just mail it in.

759
00:34:43,999 --> 00:34:47,252
Maybe you have helped Kim after all.

760
00:34:47,336 --> 00:34:50,047
That Mrs. Arthur,
at the slideshow the other day...

761
00:34:50,130 --> 00:34:53,842
Do you recall seeing a photo of Dr. Swope

762
00:34:53,926 --> 00:34:56,094
breaking ground for the science building?

763
00:34:56,178 --> 00:34:58,680
With a shovel. Yes, why?

764
00:34:58,764 --> 00:35:02,392
Well,
there's an asterisk under the calendar

765
00:35:02,476 --> 00:35:05,145
that indicates that "due to heavy rain,

766
00:35:05,229 --> 00:35:10,108
the groundbreaking
will be postponed until next month."

767
00:35:12,694 --> 00:35:14,571
[man] Yes, this is
the Willow Gardens School for Boys.

768
00:35:14,655 --> 00:35:16,532
You say we've met, Mrs. Fletcher?

769
00:35:16,615 --> 00:35:18,408
That's right, Doctor.

770
00:35:18,492 --> 00:35:21,245
We met this last weekend in New York...

771
00:35:21,328 --> 00:35:23,831
Your charity auction
at the Jovet gallery?

772
00:35:23,914 --> 00:35:25,999
Mrs. Fletcher, I assure you

773
00:35:26,083 --> 00:35:28,627
I haven't been to
New York City in two years.

774
00:35:42,808 --> 00:35:44,768
Oh, have they moved?

775
00:35:44,852 --> 00:35:46,895
Beats me, lady.
I was told to take the name off.

776
00:35:46,979 --> 00:35:48,856
The two-month rental is up.

777
00:35:48,939 --> 00:35:50,691
-Only two months?
-Yeah.

778
00:35:50,774 --> 00:35:53,151
-Mostly transients in this building.

779
00:35:56,572 --> 00:35:58,949
Must've been real cozy

780
00:35:59,032 --> 00:36:00,742
when the "and associates"
showed up.

781
00:36:00,826 --> 00:36:02,202
[laughs]

782
00:36:02,286 --> 00:36:04,454
Hope they liked each other.

783
00:36:04,538 --> 00:36:06,665
They barely had enough room
to work on margin.

784
00:36:06,748 --> 00:36:08,542
[laughing]

785
00:36:14,047 --> 00:36:16,174
A dial tone. Thank heavens.

786
00:36:16,258 --> 00:36:18,385
Get it? Stockbrocker's margin?

787
00:36:18,468 --> 00:36:20,262
[laughing]

788
00:36:20,345 --> 00:36:22,681
-Lieutenant Gelber.
-Hello, Artie?

789
00:36:22,764 --> 00:36:25,309
Yeah. right. That is worth a shot.

790
00:36:25,392 --> 00:36:28,604
Those checks they took in
should clear by today.

791
00:36:28,687 --> 00:36:31,231
Look, I gotta step on it.
Thanks, Jessica.

792
00:36:34,276 --> 00:36:36,486
Hey, Henderson, what's the matter?

793
00:36:36,570 --> 00:36:38,488
You look like someone
took your last nickel.

794
00:36:38,572 --> 00:36:40,699
Close. Our winning lottery ticket...

795
00:36:40,782 --> 00:36:42,576
some guy just walked
into the lottery office with it

796
00:36:42,659 --> 00:36:43,994
to claim the two mil.

797
00:36:44,077 --> 00:36:45,829
-Our pickpocket?
-Looks like it.

798
00:36:45,913 --> 00:36:47,205
I told 'em to hold him.

799
00:36:47,289 --> 00:36:48,457
Bunko's gonna pick him up for us.

800
00:36:48,540 --> 00:36:49,958
Bless you, Henderson.

801
00:36:50,042 --> 00:36:51,752
Let's go.

802
00:36:53,962 --> 00:36:56,381
[indistinct chatter]

803
00:37:05,682 --> 00:37:08,018
Hold it, gentlemen! Us?

804
00:37:09,895 --> 00:37:12,898
Artie, Henderson.

805
00:37:12,981 --> 00:37:15,025
Jessica, what's this all about?

806
00:37:15,108 --> 00:37:16,818
It's about charity fraud,
grand larceny

807
00:37:16,902 --> 00:37:18,195
and possibly murder.

808
00:37:18,278 --> 00:37:19,780
-Murder?
-Ridiculous!

809
00:37:19,863 --> 00:37:22,699
The less you say
the better, Mr. Lown.

810
00:37:22,783 --> 00:37:25,035
And the same goes for your friend,
whatever his name is.

811
00:37:25,118 --> 00:37:26,870
The checks cleared, Lieutenant.

812
00:37:26,954 --> 00:37:29,414
With only a phone and no broker's licence,

813
00:37:29,498 --> 00:37:31,750
it's not too surprising
you were so reluctant

814
00:37:31,833 --> 00:37:34,086
to take Kim Mitchell on as a client.

815
00:37:34,169 --> 00:37:36,088
And the con, Jessica?

816
00:37:36,171 --> 00:37:38,340
It was clever, Artie.
As a graduate of Willow Gardens,

817
00:37:38,423 --> 00:37:41,426
Mr. Lown regularly receives
the school newsletter.

818
00:37:41,510 --> 00:37:43,553
That's how they could be
reasonably sure

819
00:37:43,637 --> 00:37:46,556
of the real Dr. Swope's
comings and goings.

820
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:48,392
So they wouldn't cross wires

821
00:37:48,475 --> 00:37:50,852
with the school's
regular fundraising activities.

822
00:37:50,936 --> 00:37:52,896
And Mr. Lown here finds the mark?

823
00:37:52,980 --> 00:37:55,107
Exactly. In this case,

824
00:37:55,190 --> 00:37:57,734
Kim Mitchell contributed
her own money,

825
00:37:57,818 --> 00:37:59,820
and then, with your gentle urging, Bert,

826
00:37:59,903 --> 00:38:02,531
innocently helped arrange
the biggest part of your sting.

827
00:38:02,614 --> 00:38:04,324
Jovet's gallery, the auction,

828
00:38:04,408 --> 00:38:06,910
Jovet gets wise, so you kill him...

829
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:09,746
or not.

830
00:38:09,830 --> 00:38:12,249
It just as well could've been
Miss Mitchell.

831
00:38:12,332 --> 00:38:13,333
[gasps]

832
00:38:13,417 --> 00:38:15,002
All right, in any case,

833
00:38:15,085 --> 00:38:16,795
Lock up these two guys.
I'll get the bag.

834
00:38:16,878 --> 00:38:18,714
All right, let's go.

835
00:38:18,797 --> 00:38:20,382
Oh!

836
00:38:20,465 --> 00:38:21,842
What have they got in there? Lead?

837
00:38:21,925 --> 00:38:23,093
I thought it was empty.

838
00:38:30,892 --> 00:38:32,644
I thought it was empty.

839
00:38:32,728 --> 00:38:34,855
Gold coins.

840
00:38:34,938 --> 00:38:37,232
These guys were really ready to travel.

841
00:38:37,315 --> 00:38:39,484
You know, Artie,
I don't think they killed Jovet.

842
00:38:39,568 --> 00:38:41,236
And I'm sure it wasn't Kim.

843
00:38:41,319 --> 00:38:44,322
That look again. OK, who?

844
00:38:44,406 --> 00:38:48,368
I think it has to do
with the missing painting... The Roommate.

845
00:38:48,452 --> 00:38:50,662
Would you mind including me
in this conversation?

846
00:38:50,746 --> 00:38:52,914
I'm sorry. That FBI agent...

847
00:38:52,998 --> 00:38:55,625
-What was his name?
-Tom Reynolds. What about him?

848
00:38:55,709 --> 00:38:57,669
Reynolds, that's it!
Could you call him?

849
00:38:57,753 --> 00:39:00,088
There are a couple
of questions I'd like you to ask him.

850
00:39:00,172 --> 00:39:02,007
It'll be worth it,

851
00:39:02,090 --> 00:39:04,634
If only because maybe then...

852
00:39:04,718 --> 00:39:08,430
I will find out what you're talking about.

853
00:39:08,513 --> 00:39:10,140
[dialing]

854
00:39:39,044 --> 00:39:40,587
Mrs. Fletcher.

855
00:39:40,670 --> 00:39:43,465
Oh. Teddy,
I didn't expect to find you here.

856
00:39:43,548 --> 00:39:45,258
Mutual. I took the afternoon off.

857
00:39:45,342 --> 00:39:46,885
What are you doing here?

858
00:39:46,968 --> 00:39:49,346
I was just picking up
some papers for Kim.

859
00:39:49,429 --> 00:39:51,348
-Have you seen Mark?
-No, no.

860
00:39:51,431 --> 00:39:53,308
But there's a note on the desk

861
00:39:53,391 --> 00:39:55,519
asking you to meet him
at Chez Maison.

862
00:39:55,602 --> 00:39:57,729
-Thanks a lot.
-Mm-hmm.

863
00:40:29,886 --> 00:40:33,181
Mrs. Fletcher,
I didn't hear you come in.

864
00:40:33,265 --> 00:40:35,058
May I help you find something?

865
00:40:35,142 --> 00:40:36,852
Thank you, Frances.

866
00:40:36,935 --> 00:40:41,148
but I've already found
what I was looking for.

867
00:40:41,231 --> 00:40:43,733
The bag you used
to deliver Kim's sculpture

868
00:40:43,817 --> 00:40:45,569
to Philip Jovet's gallery.

869
00:40:45,652 --> 00:40:46,778
Oh?

870
00:40:46,862 --> 00:40:48,530
It's the same bag

871
00:40:48,613 --> 00:40:50,615
in which you placed
the Elizabeth McKay painting...

872
00:40:50,699 --> 00:40:53,076
The Roommate... when you stole it.

873
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:55,453
Me?

874
00:40:55,537 --> 00:40:57,873
Why would I do a thing like that?

875
00:40:57,956 --> 00:41:00,083
You were afraid
someone might recognize

876
00:41:00,167 --> 00:41:03,003
that the woman
in the painting was you.

877
00:41:03,086 --> 00:41:06,840
Mrs. Fletcher,
I only got a quick look at that painting,

878
00:41:06,923 --> 00:41:10,886
but wasn't the woman blonde and blue-eyed?

879
00:41:10,969 --> 00:41:13,054
Yes, she was.

880
00:41:13,138 --> 00:41:16,266
Those shadows... at first glance,
they could be blinds,

881
00:41:16,349 --> 00:41:19,853
but then I realized
what they really were.

882
00:41:19,936 --> 00:41:22,105
Shadows cast by prison bars.

883
00:41:22,189 --> 00:41:25,525
The bracelet is for prisoners' ID.

884
00:41:25,609 --> 00:41:27,694
When your hair rinse
has been washed out

885
00:41:27,777 --> 00:41:30,155
and your brown contact lenses removed,

886
00:41:30,238 --> 00:41:32,115
I'm sure you'll look exactly like her,

887
00:41:32,199 --> 00:41:33,992
like who you really are...

888
00:41:34,075 --> 00:41:37,287
not Frances McMahon
from San Francisco,

889
00:41:37,370 --> 00:41:40,874
but Wanda Rae Skotnik
from Kansas City...

890
00:41:40,957 --> 00:41:42,959
Elizabeth McKay's cellmate

891
00:41:43,043 --> 00:41:45,587
and inmate
at the Missouri women's prison,

892
00:41:45,670 --> 00:41:48,757
where you'd been serving
30 years to life for murder,

893
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:51,092
till a year ago, when you escaped.

894
00:41:51,176 --> 00:41:54,512
[laughs]
That is totally ridicu...

895
00:41:54,596 --> 00:41:57,140
You're pulling this right out of the air.

896
00:41:57,224 --> 00:42:01,102
Not quite.
It came out of the FBI's fugitive file.

897
00:42:01,186 --> 00:42:03,355
You see Wanda, you killed Philip Jovet

898
00:42:03,438 --> 00:42:07,067
without realizing
that he had made the connection,

899
00:42:07,150 --> 00:42:10,612
that he'd already tried
to contact the FBI about you.

900
00:42:15,533 --> 00:42:17,911
OK, Mrs. Fletcher.

901
00:42:17,994 --> 00:42:20,622
So you're a very bright lady...

902
00:42:20,705 --> 00:42:21,915
to figure all this out,

903
00:42:23,333 --> 00:42:26,253
too bright for your own good.

904
00:42:26,336 --> 00:42:27,963
Drop it!

905
00:42:28,046 --> 00:42:30,590
Henderson, read the lady her rights.

906
00:42:30,674 --> 00:42:32,175
You have the right to remain silent.

907
00:42:32,259 --> 00:42:33,635
You have the right
to an attorney.

908
00:42:33,718 --> 00:42:36,012
Forget it. I know the drill.

909
00:42:36,096 --> 00:42:37,806
It never bothered me all that much...

910
00:42:37,889 --> 00:42:39,933
Jovet finding out who I was...

911
00:42:40,016 --> 00:42:42,185
until I got to the gallery
with Kim's sculpture

912
00:42:42,269 --> 00:42:43,770
and saw that painting.

913
00:42:43,853 --> 00:42:46,940
Exquisite.

914
00:42:47,023 --> 00:42:48,525
I figured then I was in trouble.

915
00:42:48,608 --> 00:42:50,485
And I knew I had to get my hands on it

916
00:42:50,568 --> 00:42:52,612
and get it out of people's sight,
especially his.

917
00:42:52,696 --> 00:42:55,699
And a few moments later,
you left the gallery with it.

918
00:42:55,782 --> 00:42:57,409
It didn't register with me at the time

919
00:42:57,492 --> 00:42:59,202
that your bag wasn't empty,

920
00:42:59,286 --> 00:43:01,663
but actually contained the painting.

921
00:43:01,746 --> 00:43:03,665
Right. And after that,

922
00:43:03,748 --> 00:43:06,918
I yanked that thing
out of the frame and tore it up.

923
00:43:07,002 --> 00:43:09,671
But I was afraid
that Jovet would remember

924
00:43:09,754 --> 00:43:11,965
and would realize it was me.

925
00:43:12,048 --> 00:43:14,134
I started working for Kim

926
00:43:14,217 --> 00:43:16,928
right before she went
to Maine with...him.

927
00:43:17,012 --> 00:43:19,889
So you knew about the key
to his apartment.

928
00:43:19,973 --> 00:43:23,893
Yeah. and I remembered
where she kept it.

929
00:43:23,977 --> 00:43:26,813
So after everyone left for the evening,

930
00:43:26,896 --> 00:43:29,024
I grabbed it...

931
00:43:29,107 --> 00:43:30,942
and I headed for his place.

932
00:43:31,026 --> 00:43:34,612
I entered his apartment from the street

933
00:43:34,696 --> 00:43:37,032
and went downstairs.
[phone rings]

934
00:43:37,115 --> 00:43:39,576
His phone rang.

935
00:43:39,659 --> 00:43:42,662
Probably my call to him
about my manuscript.

936
00:43:42,746 --> 00:43:44,789
Oh, yes, you're in luck,
Mrs. Fletcher.

937
00:43:44,873 --> 00:43:46,791
Somebody turned it in.

938
00:43:46,875 --> 00:43:49,044
I was just leaving.
How soon can you...

939
00:43:49,127 --> 00:43:50,378
Uhh!
Mr. Jovet?

940
00:43:52,297 --> 00:43:54,549
Are you all right?
Mr. Jovet?

941
00:43:54,632 --> 00:43:56,343
Lousy break...

942
00:43:56,426 --> 00:43:59,429
Mrs. Arthur deciding to donate
that painting.

943
00:43:59,512 --> 00:44:01,181
There was no way I was gonna spend

944
00:44:01,264 --> 00:44:03,641
the best years of my life
in a stinkin' prison cell.

945
00:44:03,725 --> 00:44:05,560
[Artie]
Wrong, Miss Skotnik.

946
00:44:05,643 --> 00:44:07,854
Only it'll probably be two cells.

947
00:44:07,937 --> 00:44:09,397
You'll finish your sentence in Missouri,

948
00:44:09,481 --> 00:44:11,316
and then New York will want you.

949
00:44:11,399 --> 00:44:14,110
That kind of variety
ought to be good for the soul.

950
00:44:15,487 --> 00:44:18,156
Cuff her.

951
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:20,742
Detective Henderson?
Please have him come right up, Richie.

952
00:44:20,825 --> 00:44:22,952
Thank you.

953
00:44:23,036 --> 00:44:25,330
Well, when do you start
your classes, Mark?

954
00:44:25,413 --> 00:44:28,416
Next week, thanks
to my big sister's generosity.

955
00:44:28,500 --> 00:44:31,252
I feel as if I already qualify
for a graduate degree

956
00:44:31,336 --> 00:44:34,089
on who not to get
romantically involved with.

957
00:44:34,172 --> 00:44:35,924
That goes for me, too.

958
00:44:36,007 --> 00:44:38,093
All right, are you ready
to hear something ironic?

959
00:44:38,176 --> 00:44:41,096
Philip Jovet is going to give me
a one-woman show after all.

960
00:44:41,179 --> 00:44:45,058
Wow! A really prestigious gallery
in San Francisco

961
00:44:45,141 --> 00:44:47,185
saw a photograph
of The Relentless Warrior

962
00:44:47,268 --> 00:44:49,521
in the newspaper coverage
of the Jovet murder.

963
00:44:49,604 --> 00:44:51,731
The brochures are being printed
as we speak.

964
00:44:51,815 --> 00:44:54,484
Kim, that is so exciting!

965
00:44:56,027 --> 00:44:57,570
The show gonna include
the murder weapon?

966
00:44:57,654 --> 00:44:59,656
No way. I never want to see it again.

967
00:44:59,739 --> 00:45:01,699
[knock on door]

968
00:45:01,783 --> 00:45:03,827
As soon as the DA's finished using it
for evidence,

969
00:45:03,910 --> 00:45:05,745
I'm gonna have it melted down.

970
00:45:05,829 --> 00:45:08,540
-Mrs. Fletcher?
-Come on inside.

971
00:45:10,166 --> 00:45:12,293
-Your wallet, Lieutenant.
-Fantastic.

972
00:45:12,377 --> 00:45:14,003
They caught the pickpocket?

973
00:45:14,087 --> 00:45:15,922
Yeah... your desk chair.
The cleaning crew

974
00:45:16,005 --> 00:45:17,924
found it wedged
between the back and the side.

975
00:45:18,007 --> 00:45:20,176
Well, what happened
to the winning lottery ticket?

976
00:45:20,260 --> 00:45:22,095
and the alleged pickpocket?

977
00:45:22,178 --> 00:45:25,515
He was a sweet little 85-year-old lady

978
00:45:25,598 --> 00:45:28,226
who the chief had me issue
a personal apology to.

979
00:45:28,309 --> 00:45:31,521
So did we at least win
a consolation prize?

980
00:45:31,604 --> 00:45:33,356
I was a little off, Lieutenant.

981
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:35,692
We got one number right.

982
00:45:35,775 --> 00:45:38,820
It could've been worse, Artie.

983
00:45:38,903 --> 00:45:40,363
He could've won.

984
00:45:40,447 --> 00:45:43,032
[laughter]
