00:00:33,850 --> 00:00:36,318
<i>[Laura]
Try this for a deep, dark secret...</i>

2
00:00:36,419 --> 00:00:40,082
<i>The great detective
Remington Steele?</i>

3
00:00:40,190 --> 00:00:42,249
<i>He doesn't exist.
I invented him.</i>

4
00:00:42,359 --> 00:00:45,328
<i>Follow...
I always loved excitement.</i>

5
00:00:45,428 --> 00:00:47,589
<i>So I studied and apprenticed...</i>

6
00:00:47,697 --> 00:00:49,824
<i>and put my name on an office.</i>

7
00:00:49,933 --> 00:00:52,094
<i>But absolutely nobody
knocked down my door.</i>

8
00:00:52,202 --> 00:00:56,605
<i>A female private investigator
seemed so... feminine.</i>

9
00:00:56,706 --> 00:00:58,833
<i>So I invented a superior.</i>

10
00:00:58,942 --> 00:01:01,843
<i>A decidedly masculine superior.</i>

11
00:01:01,945 --> 00:01:04,106
<i>Suddenly, there were cases
around the block.</i>

12
00:01:04,214 --> 00:01:06,705
<i>It was working like a charm.</i>

13
00:01:06,816 --> 00:01:08,613
<i>Until the day he walked in...</i>

14
00:01:08,718 --> 00:01:11,983
<i>with his blue eyes
and mysterious past.</i>

15
00:01:12,088 --> 00:01:13,851
<i>And before I knew it...</i>

16
00:01:13,957 --> 00:01:16,118
<i>he assumed
Remington Steele's identity.</i>

17
00:01:16,226 --> 00:01:19,855
<i>Now I do the work,
and he takes the bows.</i>

18
00:01:19,963 --> 00:01:22,124
<i>It's a dangerous way to live...</i>

19
00:01:22,232 --> 00:01:24,359
<i>but as long as people buy it...</i>

20
00:01:24,467 --> 00:01:26,628
<i>I can get thejob done.</i>

21
00:01:26,736 --> 00:01:29,637
<i>We never mix business
with pleasure.</i>

22
00:01:29,739 --> 00:01:31,866
<i>Well, almost never.</i>

23
00:01:33,109 --> 00:01:35,202
<i>I don't even know
his real name.</i>

24
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,180
<i>[Car Engine Starts]</i>

25
00:03:27,156 --> 00:03:31,217
Now, whatever happens,
it's imperative that you and I stay together.

26
00:03:31,327 --> 00:03:34,956
Peppler. Peppler?

27
00:03:35,064 --> 00:03:37,464
Bob and Judy Peppler?

28
00:03:37,567 --> 00:03:40,297
What's the matter
with Bob and Judy Peppler?

29
00:03:40,403 --> 00:03:42,667
I'm sorry.
It's bad enough being asked to be a "Bob,"

30
00:03:42,772 --> 00:03:45,468
but to add insult to injury
with Peppler. Oh!

31
00:03:45,575 --> 00:03:47,475
It's too late.

32
00:03:47,577 --> 00:03:50,808
Malcolm Marcall is one of the most famous
divorce attorneys in the country...

33
00:03:50,914 --> 00:03:54,179
and he's expecting
Pepplers... married ones.

34
00:03:54,284 --> 00:03:57,378
Besides, there's nothing
wrong with it.

35
00:03:57,487 --> 00:04:00,786
I'm a Peppler.
She's a Peppler. We're a Peppler.

36
00:04:00,890 --> 00:04:03,586
They're a Peppler.
Wouldn't you like to be a Peppler too?

37
00:04:04,627 --> 00:04:06,561
[Softly]
Why...

38
00:04:06,663 --> 00:04:08,563
Come on!
Where's your sense of humor?

39
00:04:08,665 --> 00:04:13,125
I'm wearing it. Must one truly parade around
in loud pants to play this game?

40
00:04:13,236 --> 00:04:16,797
Wouldn't want anybody
to mistake you for a tree, now would we?

41
00:04:16,906 --> 00:04:19,374
Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho.

42
00:04:19,475 --> 00:04:21,375
<i>- Malcolm!
- Judy.!</i>

43
00:04:24,681 --> 00:04:28,913
- Bob. [Chuckling]
- Uh-huh.

44
00:04:29,018 --> 00:04:32,545
My wife, Loretta. This is Bob and Judy Peppler,
the couple I told you about.

45
00:04:32,655 --> 00:04:35,988
Oh, not you two.
You're not really considering divorce, are you?

46
00:04:36,092 --> 00:04:39,061
[Bob Chuckling]
Now, Retta, we're here to play golf.

47
00:04:39,162 --> 00:04:41,027
[Quietly]
I know that.

48
00:04:44,934 --> 00:04:47,164
Handsome shot,
Mrs. Peppler.

49
00:04:57,614 --> 00:05:00,674
- Nice shot, Peppler.
- Beginner's luck.

50
00:05:00,783 --> 00:05:04,219
I have a feeling you and I are going
to have to play through.

51
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,754
I'm sureJudy won't mind
sticking with me.

52
00:05:08,324 --> 00:05:10,622
I appreciate you going through
with this charade, Steele.

53
00:05:10,727 --> 00:05:12,627
Main thing is
that Retta not know.

54
00:05:12,729 --> 00:05:15,527
- Oh, of course.
- I need your help.

55
00:05:15,632 --> 00:05:18,157
Someone is trying to kill me.

56
00:05:22,005 --> 00:05:24,769
How many strokes is that this hole?
Twenty-two?

57
00:05:24,874 --> 00:05:28,901
Twenty-three.
If we don't count the times you missed the ball.

58
00:05:29,012 --> 00:05:30,912
And we won't.

59
00:05:31,014 --> 00:05:33,448
Four days ago,
someone tried to run me off the road.

60
00:05:33,549 --> 00:05:35,847
Yesterday morning,
I discovered my car's exhaust system...

61
00:05:35,952 --> 00:05:38,113
had been jury-rigged back
into the passenger compartment.

62
00:05:38,221 --> 00:05:42,385
- Sounds thrilling.
- Yes, indeedy. To thrilling lives.

63
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:45,985
Listen, you see my wife,
let me know.

64
00:05:46,095 --> 00:05:48,563
Dinner parties are one
of her small pleasures in life.

65
00:05:48,665 --> 00:05:52,499
I'm not particularly anxious for her
to know about my stomach trouble.

66
00:05:52,602 --> 00:05:56,060
You read where some scientist says
that milk is now bad for your ulcer?

67
00:05:56,172 --> 00:05:59,335
I've got this fantasy where the same fellow
discovers booze is the only cure.

68
00:05:59,442 --> 00:06:01,342
Here comes Mrs. Marcall.

69
00:06:03,780 --> 00:06:08,444
- Did it! Broke 150!
- [Chuckling] That's my girl.

70
00:06:08,551 --> 00:06:11,076
And how did
you do, dear?

71
00:06:11,187 --> 00:06:13,121
Oh, just peachy, darling.

72
00:06:13,222 --> 00:06:15,850
Oh, I can't wait
to hear all about it.

73
00:06:15,958 --> 00:06:18,620
Who would want
to kill Malcolm Marcall?

74
00:06:18,728 --> 00:06:20,753
How about half the women
in Los Angeles.

75
00:06:20,863 --> 00:06:24,424
He suspects it might be one of the four women
he's currently battling in court.

76
00:06:24,534 --> 00:06:26,434
He does, does he?

77
00:06:26,536 --> 00:06:28,561
Yes, he does.

78
00:06:28,671 --> 00:06:31,868
- Laura, I think we're about to have our first fight.
- I think so.

79
00:06:31,974 --> 00:06:34,875
<i>- I will not live in fear that
every time I'm with a client... - I did not take all the risks...</i>

80
00:06:34,977 --> 00:06:37,411
<i>- you are off somewhere stewing.
- Of starting my own business just so you could waltz in...</i>

81
00:06:37,513 --> 00:06:39,003
and pretend to be a detective!

82
00:06:40,583 --> 00:06:42,778
Such a shame about them.

83
00:06:48,324 --> 00:06:51,452
About the case...
Perhaps Malcolm does have a point.

84
00:06:51,561 --> 00:06:55,053
Those four women certainly have
the most immediate motive.

85
00:06:55,164 --> 00:06:57,564
You'll give me their names,
and I'll have Murphy interview them.

86
00:06:57,667 --> 00:07:00,329
- Interview them? Oh, but that's so...
- What?

87
00:07:00,436 --> 00:07:03,701
- Boring.
- Oh, really?

88
00:07:03,806 --> 00:07:07,674
<i>- And you have a better idea?
- As a matter of fact, I do.</i>

89
00:07:07,777 --> 00:07:10,041
<i>Something more dramatic,
something to get their attention.</i>

90
00:07:11,414 --> 00:07:14,713
I don't care who your lawyer is!
The house is mine!

91
00:07:16,319 --> 00:07:19,755
- You're right. This is a wonderful idea.
- You think so, eh?

92
00:07:19,856 --> 00:07:22,848
You want to play dirty, Bob?
All right, we'll play dirty.

93
00:07:24,127 --> 00:07:26,493
- How was that one? Look real?
- Are you kidding?

94
00:07:26,596 --> 00:07:29,156
- What are you thinking? One more to sell it?
- [Mumbling Protest]

95
00:07:29,265 --> 00:07:31,165
Sure. Why not?
Animal!

96
00:07:34,704 --> 00:07:36,604
Very good.

97
00:07:36,706 --> 00:07:38,765
- Had a lot of practice.
- Ah.

98
00:07:39,876 --> 00:07:42,367
<i>Hold it, dear. Janet.</i>

99
00:07:42,478 --> 00:07:45,003
Janet Kimmell.
Welcome to the club.

100
00:07:45,114 --> 00:07:48,208
- Excuse me?
- You don't know, do you?

101
00:07:48,317 --> 00:07:51,445
You've just joined
a very exclusive sorority.

102
00:07:51,554 --> 00:07:53,749
It isn't every woman
that has the opportunity...

103
00:07:53,856 --> 00:07:56,450
to get worked over
in court by Malcolm Marcall.

104
00:07:56,559 --> 00:07:58,459
Want to hear
something funny?

105
00:07:58,561 --> 00:08:01,086
- I hate what I do for a living.
- Not so funny.

106
00:08:01,197 --> 00:08:03,631
Ha! You didn't spend
three years going to law school.

107
00:08:03,733 --> 00:08:06,133
I just hate divorce.
I'm good at it, but...

108
00:08:06,235 --> 00:08:08,931
Ah, the whole business
makes me feel a bit like a carpetbagger.

109
00:08:09,038 --> 00:08:11,734
Bought some land in the desert
a year and a half ago.

110
00:08:11,841 --> 00:08:14,708
Next month, Loretta and I,
we're gonna call it a day...

111
00:08:14,811 --> 00:08:17,644
with the law
and Beverly Hills and...

112
00:08:17,747 --> 00:08:20,807
- You think I'm full of it, don't you, Steele?
- Look out!

113
00:08:21,918 --> 00:08:24,785
- You just missed him!
- I know. Damn it!

114
00:08:24,887 --> 00:08:28,323
One of these days,
he's gonna zig, and then I'm gonna zig...

115
00:08:28,424 --> 00:08:30,619
and we're both
gonna make headlines.

116
00:08:30,726 --> 00:08:35,095
[Sighs]
How do you feel about Mexican?

117
00:08:35,198 --> 00:08:37,223
The problem it seems to me is...

118
00:08:37,333 --> 00:08:40,427
when you're 23,
you marry this guy who's 26.

119
00:08:40,536 --> 00:08:43,972
And a year goes by,
and he's 27, and you're 24.

120
00:08:44,073 --> 00:08:47,634
And it just keeps going on that way,
till one day you wake up and you say...

121
00:08:47,743 --> 00:08:52,908
"Hey, who's this 35-year-old guy
with a big gut who's lying next to me?"

122
00:08:53,015 --> 00:08:58,715
<i>And he wakes up and says, "Hey, who's this
32-year-old babe with the dark roots...</i>

123
00:08:58,821 --> 00:09:01,654
and droopy everythings
that's lying next to me?"

124
00:09:01,757 --> 00:09:05,193
Of course, in Angela's case,
she just went out and bought herself...

125
00:09:05,294 --> 00:09:08,752
another bottle of peroxide
and found herself another 26-year-old.

126
00:09:08,865 --> 00:09:12,357
[Laughing]
Yeah, until that scum Marcall found out.

127
00:09:12,468 --> 00:09:16,029
<i>Now my ex-husband, the liquor store magnate,
is dragging me back into court.</i>

128
00:09:16,138 --> 00:09:19,869
I could kill that Marcall.
I really could.

129
00:09:19,976 --> 00:09:22,274
Easy, Angela.
It could be worse.

130
00:09:22,378 --> 00:09:24,278
You could be Megan.

131
00:09:24,380 --> 00:09:27,543
<i>[Woman] Megan lived
with Anthony Perrouchi, the race car driver.</i>

132
00:09:27,650 --> 00:09:32,019
Marcall drew up this
cohabitation contract...

133
00:09:32,121 --> 00:09:34,112
<i>so that when the relationship
turned sour...</i>

134
00:09:34,223 --> 00:09:36,248
Megan left with
what she came in with.

135
00:09:37,293 --> 00:09:40,126
Ask what she came in with.

136
00:09:40,229 --> 00:09:42,129
What did she come in with?

137
00:09:42,231 --> 00:09:44,222
A bathing suit.

138
00:09:44,333 --> 00:09:47,564
A very small
bathing suit.

139
00:09:47,670 --> 00:09:50,195
Tell her what
you do now, Megan.

140
00:09:50,306 --> 00:09:52,866
For a living?

141
00:09:52,975 --> 00:09:55,068
Aerobics.

142
00:09:55,177 --> 00:09:58,738
I teach aerobic dancing
at a gym on Fifth Street.

143
00:09:58,848 --> 00:10:00,907
<i>You know, if Anthony would've
had any other lawyer...</i>

144
00:10:01,017 --> 00:10:04,646
I'd have a condo on Wilshire,
I'd be driving a real nice car.

145
00:10:04,754 --> 00:10:08,053
<i>Instead, I'm 28 years old,
and I touch my toes for a living.</i>

146
00:10:08,157 --> 00:10:10,250
Damn that Marcall.

147
00:10:10,359 --> 00:10:12,327
I wish he were dead.

148
00:10:12,428 --> 00:10:15,022
<i>[Angela]
Speak of the devil.</i>

149
00:10:15,131 --> 00:10:17,031
<i>[Megan]
Oh, my goodness.</i>

150
00:10:17,133 --> 00:10:19,363

00:40:11,625 --> 00:40:15,959
Early in the trip, Richard Widmark is killed.
Murdered.

606
00:40:16,063 --> 00:40:19,692
And now it's up to Hercule
to find out... Who done it?

607
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:21,700
Was it Lauren Bacall?

608
00:40:21,802 --> 00:40:25,238
<i>Vanessa Redgrave? Could it have been
Michael York? Ingrid Bergman?</i>

609
00:40:25,339 --> 00:40:29,469
PrettyJacqueline Bisset?
Dastardly Anthony Perkins? Who? Who? Who?

610
00:40:31,212 --> 00:40:34,079
- You want some Danish with that coffee?
- They all did.

611
00:40:34,181 --> 00:40:39,881
They all knew if they worked together,
no single person could be implicated.

612
00:40:40,921 --> 00:40:43,389
Any special kind of Danish?

613
00:40:43,491 --> 00:40:47,393
- So you're saying...
- Exactly.

614
00:40:47,495 --> 00:40:49,395
Murphy...

615
00:40:50,931 --> 00:40:53,627
It doesn't go past this room...

616
00:40:53,734 --> 00:40:56,100
but I think he makes
a lot of sense.

617
00:40:56,203 --> 00:40:59,969
- Really?
- Hey! It's the best theory we've got.

618
00:41:00,074 --> 00:41:02,634
I say... we run with it.

619
00:41:02,743 --> 00:41:05,211
Run with it?

620
00:41:05,312 --> 00:41:07,872
He's been watching
football again.

621
00:41:13,420 --> 00:41:15,354
<i>[Steele]
Could it have been Michael York?</i>

622
00:41:15,456 --> 00:41:17,356
<i>Ingrid Bergman?
PrettyJacqueline Bisset?</i>

623
00:41:17,458 --> 00:41:20,621
<i>Dastardly Anthony Perkins?
Who? Who? Who?</i>

624
00:41:20,728 --> 00:41:20,861
- Mr. Marcall,
we invited all four women here today... - Oh, my.

625
00:41:20,861 --> 00:41:25,730
- Mr. Marcall,
we invited all four women here today... - Oh, my.

626
00:41:25,833 --> 00:41:29,496
Under the guise that you would be leaving
town and that your clients might wish...

627
00:41:29,603 --> 00:41:32,697
to discuss settlements
out of court prior to your retirement.

628
00:41:32,807 --> 00:41:35,605
<i>- [Dogs Barking]
- What's that going to prove?</i>

629
00:41:37,812 --> 00:41:40,975
<i>- [Doorbell Ringing]
- I believe our first guest has just arrived.</i>

630
00:41:41,081 --> 00:41:42,548
Heel!

631
00:41:48,489 --> 00:41:50,389
- [Growling]
- Stay.

632
00:41:52,226 --> 00:41:54,285
- Bobby?
- Megan, darling!

633
00:42:01,168 --> 00:42:03,159
- Do you know everyone?
- [Quietly] Yeah.

634
00:42:03,270 --> 00:42:05,898
Does everyone know you?
Megan O'Toole.

635
00:42:06,006 --> 00:42:08,873
Former live-in lover
of Anthony Perrouchi.

636
00:42:08,976 --> 00:42:11,308
Her job?
Jury-rig Malcolm's exhaust system.

637
00:42:11,412 --> 00:42:15,644
And when that failed,
regear his transmission.

638
00:42:15,749 --> 00:42:18,115
- Isn't that right, Megan?
- What?

639
00:42:18,219 --> 00:42:20,949
<i>- [Barking]
- [Doorbell Ringing]</i>

640
00:42:24,692 --> 00:42:26,592
Heel!

641
00:42:32,433 --> 00:42:34,731
- Robert!
- Angela. Do come in.

642
00:42:39,039 --> 00:42:42,770
Now, Angela, tell us how you supplied the wine
that was ultimately poisoned...

643
00:42:42,877 --> 00:42:45,710
<i>- [Barking]
- In an attempt to kill Malcolm Marcall.</i>

644
00:42:45,813 --> 00:42:48,941
What are you...
I came here to talk settlement.

645
00:42:49,984 --> 00:42:51,451
Judy?

646
00:42:51,552 --> 00:42:53,884
<i>[Steele]
Now, Angela, it's true, isn't it?</i>

647
00:42:53,988 --> 00:42:57,082
I don't know what you're talking about.
I would never buy wine for Marcall.

648
00:42:57,191 --> 00:43:01,821
For one, I don't like him. And for two,
he doesn't drink. Everybody knows that.

649
00:43:01,929 --> 00:43:05,888
<i>- [Barking]
- [Doorbell Ringing]</i>

650
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:08,434
I said, heel!

651
00:43:08,535 --> 00:43:12,437
Retta, you and those beasts
come over here.

652
00:43:15,309 --> 00:43:17,072
[Clears Throat]

653
00:43:18,345 --> 00:43:22,543
Well, surprise, surprise.
Are you my settlement?

654
00:43:29,990 --> 00:43:32,288
My goodness.
What have we here?

655
00:43:32,393 --> 00:43:35,157
What we have here
is a scenario for murder.

656
00:43:35,262 --> 00:43:40,393
A group of four women, embittered by
their various domestic situations...

657
00:43:40,501 --> 00:43:45,734
due to return to court
to face Malcolm Marcall.

658
00:43:45,839 --> 00:43:48,501
Each woman contributing
one part of the murder scheme...

659
00:43:48,609 --> 00:43:51,874
so no single woman
could be implicated.

660
00:43:51,979 --> 00:43:56,882
You, Janet, provided the deadly herbicide
that ultimately poisoned the wine.

661
00:43:56,984 --> 00:44:00,579
- Says who?
- Says anyone with a facility for deductive reasoning.

662
00:44:00,688 --> 00:44:04,385
You spirited your herbicide into this house
where it was injected into a bottle of...

663
00:44:04,491 --> 00:44:08,450
I snuck into this house?
Past those panthers?

664
00:44:11,498 --> 00:44:13,966
Why don't you take a seat, Janet?

665
00:44:15,836 --> 00:44:18,999
Tell me again
how much you admire my theory.

666
00:44:19,106 --> 00:44:22,303
Love to. But the truth is
I'm developing one of my own.

667
00:44:22,409 --> 00:44:25,537
Well, feel free to jump
in whenever the urge hits.

668
00:44:28,649 --> 00:44:31,311
<i>- Loretta...
- [Barking Continues]</i>

<i>- [Barking]

And what about you,

<i>The night you heard someone
tampering with your car...</i>

673

675
00:44:52,873 --> 00:44:54,898

- Heel!

676
00:44:57,778 --> 00:44:59,803
You didn't hear the dogs.

677
00:45:05,085 --> 00:45:06,985
Loretta?

678
00:45:08,022 --> 00:45:10,013
<i>- [Barking]
- Will you heel!</i>

679
00:45:12,426 --> 00:45:14,917
Oh, Malcolm.

680
00:45:15,029 --> 00:45:16,963
What did you want me to do?

681
00:45:17,064 --> 00:45:18,861
<i>Take you to divorce court?</i>

682

683

- Now, Loretta...
- I put you through school, remember?

686
00:45:35,616 --> 00:45:38,710
I'm the one who cooked your meals
and washed your clothes...

687
00:45:38,819 --> 00:45:43,222
and worked as a waitress, getting her fanny
pinched until you passed your bar exam.

688
00:45:43,323 --> 00:45:46,190
- Do you remember that, Malcolm?
- I loved you for doing that.

689
00:45:46,293 --> 00:45:49,456
Oh, sure you love me.
You better love me!

690
00:45:49,563 --> 00:45:51,656
I invested in you, Malcolm.

691
00:45:51,765 --> 00:45:54,325
We invested in each other.

692
00:45:54,435 --> 00:45:56,960
I worked through my eighth month
of pregnancy for you.

693
00:45:57,071 --> 00:46:01,405
<i>And after the baby was born,
I kept on working, so you could clerk.</i>

<i>And when you started your own

<i>And when you started your own
practice, who did the books...</i>

696
00:46:04,044 --> 00:46:06,842

for the first year and a half?

697
00:46:06,947 --> 00:46:10,508
- I thought we were partners.
- We are.

698
00:46:10,617 --> 00:46:13,586
Then who are you to announce
that you're quitting law?

699
00:46:13,687 --> 00:46:17,623
Huh? Just when my half of the investment
was beginning to pay off.

700
00:46:17,724 --> 00:46:22,320
What the hell right have you got to throw in
the towel without asking me, Malcolm?

Yes. I suppose if one leads
a truly lonely life.

00:47:04,037 --> 00:47:07,768
Oh. I was just waiting for somebody

Vast improvement.

- Thank you.
- How did you know?

713
00:47:38,539 --> 00:47:41,337
I didn't.
Not until you started speaking...

714
00:47:41,441 --> 00:47:45,605
and I realized no one could enter that house
without those dogs barking...

00:47:45,712 --> 00:47:48,203
and that no one had ever
mentioned hearing them bark.

Not Loretta, not Malcolm

and not me the night he called
about the gunshots.

718
00:47:54,821 --> 00:47:57,847
Loretta always silenced the dogs
so as not to give herself away.
