radical feminists when men who exploit

women begin to turn up dead.

>> My name is M. Virginia Marshall.

>> You gun down a man down a man in cold

blood.

>> You know where she is,

>> Dan? That's privileged information.

>> You're breaking the law. You're

harboring a fugitive from justice and

you're making yourself an accessory to

murder. Heat. Heat.

Heat. Heat.

Heat. Heat.

Heat. Heat.

Yeah.

Good. Good. Good.

Great.

Ladies, how you doing?

Good.

How are you? Good. Good. How you girls

doing? Just sitting up.

Just have a good time. Just enjoy

yourself. Okay.

Okay. Have a good time. Talk to you

later.

>> Telephone. The man said it was an

emergency.

>> You think I was a local doctor? You are

in a way, aren't you?

>> These folks doing too good. Have a good

time.

>> I sure hope this is important, pal.

>> I want to throw a party. Got some

friends here from out of town.

>> Listen, man. I'm throwing a party.

>> I need some girls, man.

>> Yeah, yeah, I know. Only I promised my

girls a night off.

>> These guys are high rollers. Well, how

high are these high rollers willing to

go?

>> How does 500 a piece sound?

>> 500 a piece? Maybe the girls would

rather go to your party.

>> I thought they might.

>> I'll let them make their own decision

and get back to you.

>> How long you going to be?

>> About 10 minutes.

The actions out by the

Hey, you you've got to be kidding.

And now for the local news. The Las

Vegas Police Department have announced

the arrest of a suspect in yesterday's

bizarre killing of Luke Mannings.

Mannings, three times arrested for

pimping and procuring of women, was

gunned down in his home. The gun found a

short distance from the scene is

registered to Miss Virginia Marshall.

Miss Marshall, the head of the emerging

women's organization Alert, was arrested

this morning. And now to the weather.

Locally, it's going to be clear and

windy. Lows tonight.

>> Okay, you got that?

>> Yeah, but I think you should be just a

little bit more diplomatic in this

letter.

>> Yeah, probably. So,

>> okay, rewrite it and uh tell them to

>> tell him to sit on it.

>> Diplomatically, of course.

>> What's next?

>> Well, you've been putting off a reply.

>> 10 investigations.

>> Who's calling?

>> Oh, I see. Uh, just a moment, please.

>> After this commercial break.

>> J D Fenton.

>> JT Fenton, the lawyer.

>> Yes, the lawyer.

>> We're moving up.

>> We sure are. She wants you to come over

the office right away. Could you

>> tell her yes?

>> Okay.

>> Yes. He'll be right over. Could I have

the address, please?

>> Thank you.

>> Hey, my jacket. Got to learn to stop

seeing people right away.

>> That sounds important. I know, but if

prospected clients think you're

available, they try to get you to cut

your price.

>> Dan, trust me, if they can afford her,

they can afford you.

>> You're right. Start paying last month's

bills.

>> Okay.

>> I appreciate your prompt, Mr. Tanner.

>> Counselor. My pleasure.

>> Mhm.

>> You can call me Dan, though.

>> Sit down.

>> Thank you.

>> I am JD Fenton, and I'll get right to

the point. In Vegas, I'm considered the

best in my business, and from what I

hear, you're the best in yours.

>> Well, there's never been a contest. Not

that I know of. But if there were, I

guess I'd figure to be in the money.

>> My client is Virginia Marshall. She's

being held without bail unjustly accused

of a murder. And you want me to prove

the unjustly part. Is that it?

>> Exactly.

>> Yeah.

>> Dan Virginia Marshall is a remarkable

young woman. She has spent most of her

adult life fighting for women's rights.

And of course, she's made a lot of

enemies along the way. You may not like

her. Most men don't.

But she's honest. And what's most

important is she is innocent.

>> Well, counselor, um, it won't be easy.

You see, the police have what they call

an ironclad case.

>> Uh, Mr. Tanner, I'd feel more secure

about this whole thing if you were a bit

more positive.

>> Well, you can be positive of one thing,

counselor. I'll prove somebody did it.

Now, would you call Lieutenant Nelson

Metro and tell him I have permission to

talk to our client?

>> Done.

>> And uh, one more thing. I know it's none

of my business, but uh if you wouldn't

mind, uh what does the JD stand for

>> Jezebel and Delilah

>> counselor,

>> you've got to preach in Marshall Robin.

>> Women have international

not

She did not

equal rights.

>> Won't let him get away with it.

>> Equal rights.

>> Here for Jenny Marshall.

>> Thank you. Uh,

>> can I talk to you for a minute?

>> What about

>> Well, I'm working on the Jenny Marshall

case.

>> She didn't do it. She couldn't have.

>> Yeah. Well, the police think she did.

>> She didn't. She is a member of your

organization.

>> She's our vice president.

>> Would you mind telling me what alert

stands for?

>> Alliance for liberty, equality, and

revolution through truth.

>> Revolution through truth.

>> Having your convention at the Sands,

right?

>> Without Jenny, it's more of a wake.

>> Listen, I might need a little more

information about the group.

>> Anything. Just so long as it helps

Jenny.

>> Jenny. Free Jenny. Free Marshall.

>> All right, Miss Marshall.

>> Miss Marshall.

>> M. Marshall,

will we go round again?

>> You'll get the same answers.

>> Lady, I'm up for retirement in 15 years.

So, you take all the time that you need.

>> My name is M. Virginia Marshall.

>> And you gun down a man. Not a man in

cold blood.

>> Ms. Marshall,

you did everything but sign your name.

>> Yes.

>> All right. Thank you. I'll be right

back.

>> I can hardly wait.

Hi.

>> You look tired.

>> Well, I've been questioning your client

for the last few hours. She's in the

interrogation room.

>> You know, from what we've got, I could

probably arrest you for stealing money.

>> That bad, huh?

>> Dan, any firstear law student could put

her away.

>> So, what can you tell me?

>> Two bullets. Ballistics check say they

both came from her gun.

>> Prints on it. That's

>> right. Of course, she said somebody

stole.

>> Yeah. What else?

Well, we have some woman's footprints in

the dirt outside the bedroom window and

an exact match from a pair of shoes we

found in her closet. And that's not all.

>> Have you ever read The Enemies of Eve?

>> Ah, a couple chapters in the dentist

office, you know.

>> Uhhuh. Beware exploiters of women. The

day of reckoning is now.

That was a lipstick message we found on

Luke Manning's mirror.

>> Yeah. From her book,

>> page 43. Page 43. Uh Dave, you're just

wrong about one thing. About me stealing

money on this case. Earn every dime.

>> Hello, Dan.

>> Dant

JD sent word you were coming.

>> She said you were good. You better be,

Hutch.

>> Tough. Very tough. innocent.

>> Well, you convince me of that and I'll

try to convince the police. Okay.

>> It's a frame, Tana. My gun was used, but

I reported it stolen two weeks ago. Now

Nelson and the rest of the men on his

force are trying to take the easy way

out. Me.

>> People report guns stolen every day.

>> Let's talk about Luke Mannings.

>> I only knew him by reputation. He was a

creep. What kind of justice is it when I

get put in jail because somebody kills a

piece of garbage? Luke Mannings was a

pimp, a parasite who lived off women.

Now there have to be a hundred people

who had reason to kill that male crud.

>> But the police believe that you did it.

Now, Miss Marshall, I'm here to help

you, but I don't like your attitude. So,

let's just cut the chauvinistic junk and

get to the facts. All right.

>> The facts can't change, Tana, and

neither can I.

Okay,

we'll do it your way for now. I grant

you that somebody else could have

written that quote, but what about the

footprints the police found at the scene

of the crime? They found the shoes in

your closet.

>> Of course, they were mine.

>> How? Why?

>> That man was killed Sunday. My shoes

were in Tal Shoe Repair at the Somerset

Shopping Center until Monday morning.

>> Why didn't Nelson tell me that? because

I didn't tell him. And by the time we

got around to the shoes, I was not about

to give these clowns a chance to destroy

my alibi.

>> Okay, Miss Marshall, I will go talk to

your shoemaker. Then you and I will have

another little talk. All right.

>> Sorry to interrupt,

>> counselor.

>> I finally got the court to set bail. It

was high, but the organization raised

the money. Come on, Jenny. You're free

to go.

>> Counselor, how come you allowed your

client to be interrogated without her

lawyer present?

>> Because she's innocent and she has

nothing to hide. Point number two, it'll

impress the hell out of the judge when I

move for dismissal.

>> Thank you. Getting away from these

Neanderthalss is a gift from God.

>> And JD Fenton.

>> Well, Mr. Tana, I told you I'm the best.

>> Mhm.

Yeah. Yeah. Somebody broke in over the

weekend and stole some tools and petty

cash. probably some kids.

>> Mhm. Do you remember uh Virginia

Marshall?

>> Sure, I remember her. She's one of my

good customers.

>> Yeah. Well, she said she picked up a

pair of shoes here on Monday.

>> Well, if that's what she said, that's

what she did.

>> Well, it's not that I don't believe her,

but I need more than her word for it.

>> Monday morning, right?

>> There we are. GM Jenny Marshall, right?

>> M AM is morning. Monday morning. Uh, do

you think I could borrow that slip of

paper?

>> Sorry, I keep that for my records.

>> Okay, then whatever you do, don't lose

it.

Dan, look at the evidence.

Every shred of it points toward your

client.

She's a militant activist who's even

written a book about the feminine

revolution.

>> Writing a book is not the same thing as

committing murder. Look, the lady hates

men. SHE ADMITTED IT. NOW, WHY DON'T YOU

FACE IT,

>> DAVE? I DON'T LIKE HER ATTITUDE any more

than you do. But the lady who wrote that

book is too smart to do something that

stupid. That's all I'm saying.

M

you might be right.

There's a thing that's been bothering me

more than anything else.

>> So you do admit that she could have been

afraid.

>> Between you and me.

>> Between you and me?

>> It's crossed my mind.

>> Good. That's good. Well, listen. You

think I'd drink a cool one before

turning in?

>> You buying? I'm buying.

>> Oh, he's buying. But we will not discuss

the case, will we?

>> Ron, we will discuss the possibility

that the shoes could have been stolen at

the break-in at the shoemaker and

returned after the murder.

>> All right.

>> Listen.

Yeah.

Who's there?

Late last night, George Weston,

president of X-rated Publications

Incorporated, was stabbed to death in

his office. Police using the knife and

slogans found at the scene and

rearrested Miss Virginia Marshall. A

police spokesman told this reporter that

she is the only suspect and the police

are conducting no further investigation.

Tana.

>> Hello, it's me. Hi. Listen, JD Fenton

just called and says she wants to see

you right away.

>> Yeah,

>> I bet she does. I just heard that Jenny

was arrested for George Weston's murder.

>> No kidding. Well, look, is there

anything I can do for you?

>> Yeah, why don't you hit the streets? See

if you can find a connection between

Luke Manning and George Weston.

>> What could those two possibly have in

common?

>> Well, Ben, at the moment, just one

thing. They're both very dead.

>> Bye-bye.

>> Yeah.

Counselor.

>> Good morning, Mr. Ten.

>> Well, not the way I see it. You wouldn't

happen to know where our client was at

the time of the latest murder, would

you?

>> Dan, someone is framing her.

>> Well, Lieutenant Nelson and I can't seem

to figure out why. You wouldn't happen

to have an answer to that one, would

you?

>> That's why I'm paying you to find that

answer.

Okay.

According to my secretary, Weston bought

it with a carving knife.

>> Of course, from a matching set that has

been missing from Jenny's house for a

few weeks.

>> That's wonderful. Anything else?

>> As a matter of fact, yes. A scarf with

her exact initials and a quote from her

book left at the scene of the crime.

>> Yeah, I read the rest of her book last

night.

She ruffled more than a few feathers.

>> Dan, you knew that when you took this

case. And with that book, she also won a

great deal of recognition for her

organization, both public and political.

>> Do you think you can get her released

again, counselor?

>> I sure as hell I'm going to try.

>> Are you sure you want to?

>> Dan,

you're not convinced

that she's being framed.

>> Evidence convinces me, counselor.

evidence.

And so far they've got it and we haven't

>> Dan, I'm scared.

>> Oh, well, look. Okay.

Take it easy. All right. It's going to

be okay.

>> I didn't kill him, Dan.

>> Yeah. Well, uh,

I was reading the robbery report. It

didn't say anything about a carving

knife.

>> Well, I didn't know it was stolen. I

mean, I only used it for formal dinner

parties and and I haven't entertained in

months.

>> Uhhuh.

>> What's going to happen to me, Dan?

>> I don't know. But

>> you got the best people available

working for you.

>> I know. I have nothing to hide.

>> Now, you said you um you took a taxi

directly from your house to the hotel,

right?

>> I put on a karate demonstration. I

didn't take a cab directly. I flagged

one down the street.

>> Well, don't you have a car?

>> Yeah, but the battery is dead. It is.

You can check. It's still in my

driveway.

>> Yeah. And you were going there for a

karate demonstration.

>> You know, well, I advocate self-defense

for women.

>> It doesn't sound too good, does it?

>> Look, why don't you get some rest? I'm

going to talk to Nelson.

>> Dan, I'm scared.

>> I haven't been so scared.

>> Hey, don't worry. JD will probably have

you out of here in no time.

>> I don't know if I want to be released.

I mean, what if somebody else gets

killed?

Well, uh, just try to be having dinner

with the chief of police, huh?

Either it starts or it doesn't. You'll

be the one who testifies.

>> Well, here goes nothing.

>> So much for that alibi. Well, that's not

conclusive. This old junker could have

conked out at that moment.

>> Dan, two murders. Both men who exploited

women. Both men who were against

everything she stood for.

>> Yeah, but the business these guys were

in pick up enemies quicker than Lynn on

a blue surge suit. Now, the killer could

have been among their associates.

There's got to be a tie in somewhere.

>> All right, let me ask you a question.

How long do you think it would take to

break into Weston's office building, go

to his office, knife him, write the

slogan, and leave?

>> I don't know, 10 minutes.

>> How long do you think it would take a

woman to walk from here to the Sands

Hotel?

>> Maybe 40 minutes.

>> 10 minutes to commit the crime. 40

minutes from here to the hotel.

>> Yes. All right. All right. So, what are

you getting at?

>> At the karate demonstration last night.

She was exactly 50 minutes late.

Nice suit.

>> You're a little late, mister. I'm

already spoken for. Yeah, well, it's

still a nice suit.

>> My name is Tana.

>> Pi, huh?

>> It's okay. You're cute. Sally Beran. Sit

down. Enjoy yourself.

>> Thank you.

>> Are you aware that while we're sitting

here enjoying somebody's towing away

your car?

>> Repossession. And it's not mine. Luke's.

Luke owed everybody. liquor stores,

mortgage payments, clothing stores. He

was in hawk up to his eyes.

>> Really?

>> I'd heard that before Luke was killed,

he was making big bucks running a string

of hookers. Uh, no offense.

>> None taken. Luke was a compulsive poker

player. Mostly private games, table

stakes, pot limit.

>> Yeah. Well, if he was bust, where was he

getting his playing money?

>> From a shark, Fred Talber. Luke was into

him.

150 big ones.

>> That's a heavy number.

>> Yeah. The only good thing about Luke

buying it is knowing that Fred Talbert

got stiffed.

I wonder how dear Freddy's taking it.

>> Well, uh, why don't you sit here, enjoy,

and I'll go ask him. It's a very nice

suit.

Cut the music.

Okay, kids. I like the routine. I'll get

in touch with you. Huh?

>> Hi.

>> Joint doesn't open till 10, pal.

>> Uh-huh.

>> I know you.

>> The name is Tanner.

>> Oh, I know of you. Private Snoop.

>> Yeah. And I know of you. Private lone

shark.

>> I don't like being called a shark.

>> Why? I didn't mind being called a snoop.

Okay.

Sometimes I lend money to friends. Banks

charge interest. So do I.

>> Uh, just out of curiosity, did you gun

down Luke Manning or did one of your

boys do it?

>> Look, Hannah, in my business, an arm

gets broken. Sometimes a leg, but dead

guys can't repay loans. Yeah, but the

word on the street was Luke had no

intention of paying off.

>> Why am I listening to you? Why? You're

bugging me. Do you hear? Hey, this guy's

bugging me.

>> Okay, fellas. All right, I know my own

way out.

Just got that jacket back from the

cleaners.

All that dancing and no music.

Hi.

>> Thought you had an early date. You look

very nice.

>> Thank you. I do have a date and I'm

late. By the way, Jenny Marshall is out

on the streets.

>> If anybody ever tells you that JD Fank

can walk on water, you believe it.

>> Oh, believe it. She said she'd call you

in the morning.

>> Uh, by the way, again, I am now a paid

member of Alert. To join him is to know

him. Anything I should read here?

>> I'll run it by for you. The first vice

president is Jenny Marshall.

>> Mhm.

>> Now, the founder of this organization is

one Jane Demerist.

>> Never heard of her.

>> Oh, really? Married a man by the name of

Fenton.

>> Still never.

Jane Demeris Fenton.

>> J. D. Fenton.

>> You got it. What do you think?

>> I think I want to know why the famous

Miss Fenton didn't bother to mention it.

>> Yeah, I got to go.

>> Good work. Thank you.

>> Even if you didn't do good, you do good.

Okay, girls. Let's line it up. Come on.

Move it. Move it.

You'll do. Too short.

If I wanted boys, I would have put in a

call for boys.

Are those real?

Forget it. It doesn't matter. Thighs too

heavy. You'll do. Uh, make sure this one

can dance.

Okay, girls. That's it.

Now, put in another call, Peter. Nobody

under 5'9. I'll be on balloon tomorrow

and I don't want to be disturbed by

anything less than Armageddon.

I figured you'd like to be in on this

one.

>> Who bought it?

>> His name is Walter Leonard.

>> You know him?

>> Yeah. He was a choreographer.

Had a reputation with the show girls as

being a rough guy.

>> How so?

>> Uh, a little sadistic. How'd he get it?

>> Several well-placed karate chops. And

guess who teaches karate?

>> Oh, Dave, come on. Now, the next thing

you'd have Jenny Marshall as Jack the

Ripper.

>> All right, come here.

Thank you.

We found this class in Leonard's left

fist.

He took it off of his attacker. The

initials are VM, Virginia Marshall.

Well, it could have been one of the

items stolen from her house, right?

>> You recognize that?

Yeah,

Dave, it's the same MO as the other two

killings. It's obviously a frame.

>> That's what you and her attorney are

supposed to be proving.

>> Look, how many times do we have to go

through this?

>> Dan,

I am a cop. I have responsibilities.

Now, somewhere out there, there's a

maniac who has killed three men in less

than three days.

>> It doesn't mean Jenny Marshall did it in

spite of the evidence.

>> Evidence is all I have to go on.

>> Yeah, right. So, have you brought her

in?

>> We can't find her.

>> Oh, that's terrific. That's just dandy.

>> She's either on the run or she's holed

up somewhere. But I guarantee you this.

I will find her. And when I do this

time, she'll stay put.

Dan, I'm sorry I'm late.

>> Sit down, please.

>> I was um

uh shadow boxing with your friend

Nelson.

>> Would you care for a drink?

>> Yes, as a matter of fact, a glass of

white wine.

>> White wine. Thank you. You know,

counselor, we cannot keep telling Nelson

that uh Jenny's being framed without

providing some evidence.

>> All right. Why don't you provide the

evidence?

>> Her taking off on the run doesn't help

us any. You know,

>> she will not go back to that jail.

>> Have you talked to her?

>> That was a direct quote. Dan,

>> you know where she is.

>> Dan, that's privileged information.

>> Counselor, you are an officer of the

court. You're breaking the law. You're

harboring a fugitive from justice and

you're making yourself an accessory to

murder. Now Nelson has the best

department in the West. He will dig her

up.

>> That doesn't give you much time, does

it?

>> You don't have a motive. There's no

motive.

>> The motive seems obvious to me. To break

up alert and discredit.

>> Yeah, that sounds reasonable. To break

up alert, which raises another question.

How come you never mentioned the fact

that you you nurtured you motherthered

the alert organization? I didn't think

it was important.

>> Everything is important.

>> All right, it's true. I founded Alert,

but I participate in many other women's

rights groups.

>> Yes, but Alert is the most militant of

all those organizations.

>> That's what it's become. And I had to

withdraw.

And I said so publicly a few weeks ago.

Come on, counselor

>> Dan.

Listen to me. The cause of equal rights

for women has become the motivating

force in my life. But like every other

movement in history, it attracts a

lunatic fringe.

A few weeks ago, some of the younger

women started to talk about violence. I

had to withdraw. It's illegal. It's

self-defeating. And it turns the public

against you.

Why are you defending Jenny?

>> Because she's a young woman in terrible

trouble in a man's world. You know, I

don't understand you. You're supposed to

be helping me clear her.

>> She's not helping.

You're not helping.

>> Dan, I want results now. Results.

>> Yeah. So do I, counselor. Results. But

when I get them, you may not like them.

Remember

the Sheamus who was here?

>> Kenna.

>> Him and the guy who works for him.

What's his name?

>> Sounds like one of Santa Claus reindeer.

>> Yeah, Blitzen or something. Anyway,

they're asking questions all over town.

Like, did Luke Mannings get hit cuz he

wouldn't pay you off?

>> Sure made a lot of jokers pay up fast.

Only it's scaring away new customers.

>> Thought you ought to know.

>> Yeah.

Okay. Go after Tana. Explain the

situation to him. Tell him.

Well, tell him he's bad for my business.

>> How hard do we talk to him?

>> Hard enough to make sure he needs a lot

of dental work.

Hey, Manny. How's it going?

>> Hi, Dan. I think I got a sleeper at

Belmont.

>> Yeah.

>> How's the T-Ird?

>> Uh, it's running good.

>> Good.

>> How are the ponies running?

>> Running? Not so good.

>> Not so good. That's too bad. I uh I take

it this is a social call.

>> Uh well, not exactly, Manny. What do you

know about Carl Weston, Luke Mannings,

and uh Walter Leonard?

>> Had some losing parlay.

>> Yeah, I know. Uh the word is that Luke

was into Sweaty Freddy for a bundle.

>> Yeah, and it's a pleasure to see the

shark get stiffed.

>> Yeah, you have a lot of markers out

>> and paying off like a slot machine by

the rest of his clients ever since Luke

cashed in.

>> What's the talk? If you're going in the

water, make sure the shark is fed.

>> Yeah. So, you think Luke was a warning?

>> You said that, not me. Excuse me. Got to

make a bet.

>> Manny, you didn't answer my question.

Nobody learns anything around here. It

ain't healthy.

>> Uh, where do you suppose a fellow ought

to look?

>> Under rocks, Daniel. Maybe even under

Freddy the Shark's rock.

I don't have anything.

Don't you guys ever get tired of all

this dancing with no music?

Well,

that just about covers the interest.

I'll see you boys for another payment

next week, huh?

Tenn

your rhymes off. Ter, it was business.

It was strictly business. Your boat your

nosing AROUND IS BAD FOR MY BUSINESS.

>> KEEP TALKING, TANA. TANNER, WAIT A

MINUTE, TENNER. THEY WERE JUST GOING TO

ROUGH YOU UP A LITTLE. THAT'S ALL.

LISTEN, if I was guilty of murder, they

would have BEEN ORDERED TO COUGH YOU

LIKE A TURKEY.

>> KEEP TALKING. YOU GOT MY ANSWERS.

>> TENNER, PLEASE. TANA, you got my word.

>> You're a what? Listen, listen. I know

that clan of yours. Yeah, that Marshall

Dame. I knew about her from way back.

She's a nut.

>> Because she's interested in women's

rights.

>> Oh, I don't KNOW NOTHING ABOUT WOMEN'S

RIGHTS. I'm talking about the way she'd

make plays for married guys and make

sure the wife would find out and split.

>> A lot of women break guys hearts.

>> Well, not like this one. She had it down

to a science time. LISTEN. NO, SHE

DIDN'T. SHE HAD IT DOWN TO A SCIENCE.

She used to tell the guys that fell for

her that she was writing her

autobiography and that she was going to

name names so that THEIR WIVES COULD

FIND OUT HOW KICKY THEIR HUSBANDS WERE.

HANNAH, I've known a lot of crazy

ladies,

but this one was downright diabolical.

diabolical.

>> I guess I'm not as tough as I thought I

was.

>> Jenny, anybody who had been through what

you have might break, don't be so hard

on yourself.

>> Why are you hiding me? Well, as soon as

they get you back in jail, they'll stop

the investigation, dear.

>> And you think as as long as they keep

looking for me, that something may turn

up?

>> Yes. And that something may be just a

thing that'll clear you.

>> I know it seems like a long shot to you,

but come on, don't give up hope.

I tell you what, I'll keep you posted of

everything that happens. All right? And

if you need me, call me on my private

number. Huh?

>> J D.

>> Yes.

>> Thank you.

>> My pleasure, dear.

>> Thank you, Cliff. Read that.

>> Starting to sound like you're believing

that Jenny was innocent.

>> Well, you said it first.

Now I buy it. That lady is too bright to

be so stupid.

>> Gold chains, scars, gloves, nothing of

real value.

>> And yet she reports furs, TVs, and

diamond earrings that weren't touched.

It's as if the thief was denouncing his

or her intentions, you know.

>> Yeah, you're funny. You bust your tail

to clear your client. Now it sounds as

though you're going after her.

>> Well, Dave, there's more than one her

and alert. JD Fenton, the founder.

I have a hunch.

>> All right, tell me. I'll listen to

anything.

>> I don't know, but I just have the

feeling we might have outsmarted

ourselves. I'll talk to you later.

>> Yes, Mr. Tanner. Virginia Marshall is a

steady customer.

>> Do you have a record of uh recent

purchases last year? I'm say

>> yes, of course.

>> Bought a half dozen panty hoes. They

were on sale.

>> Yeah. Well, what about shoes?

>> During the past year, she bought four.

Um, no, five pairs.

>> Five pairs.

>> I got a little mixed up. You see,

everything's marked in code, and I

thought it was a computer error.

>> What was? But three weeks ago, she

bought two pairs. Both the same.

>> Exactly the same.

>> Uh-huh.

>> Thank you very much.

>> Where is she? Where's Jenny?

>> That's privileged in

>> I had to tear this place apart. I don't

understand you

>> going in.

I laid it out, counselor. If our client

was innocent, I would prove it. And if

she was guilty, I would prove it.

>> She is innocent.

>> That's what I thought.

That's what I thought.

How could anybody that smart be so

stupid as to leave all those clues

behind? It look like a frame all the

way. But believe me, counselor, she's

not stupid.

She's so damn smart. She knew exactly

how it all reacted.

>> What in the world are you talking about?

>> I'm talking about a pair of shoes. A

pair of shoes that Jenny owned that

police matches some heel marks.

>> Yes, of course. The shoes in the repair

shop.

>> Yeah, the shoes that were in a repair

shop. Except she had two pair of shoes.

Exactly the same kind.

She had two pair.

Well, all right. So, she had two pair of

shoes. What does that prove? Nothing.

That she killed somebody. She'd have to

have a motive. That

>> is what had me banging my head against a

wall. Who hated her enough to want to

frame her? You know what the answer to

that one is, counselor? Nobody. Nobody.

>> There has to be somebody.

>> What do you know about her past dealings

with men?

>> Not very much. But what the hell does

that have to do with the two?

>> Well, what if a cunning and sinister man

used the word diabolical to describe her

conduct with men?

>> I would call that a very strange choice

of words.

>> I'd say exactly the same thing. Add that

to a pair of shoes, a very strange

robbery,

and things start to smell.

>> Somebody had to steal those things from

her house. They had to to frame her.

>> Yeah. 3 weeks before the Alert

organization began to demonstrate.

>> What the hell does that prove?

>> Maybe nothing.

But you know, before these murders, I'd

never heard of Alert.

>> What are you?

>> And now it's front page news. It's

headlines.

>> What are you doing? Are you telling me

that Jenny killed three men to get

publicity?

>> And believe this. Jenny wrote an

autobiography.

A pretty nasty piece if what I hear is

true. and it was enthusiastically

rejected by every publisher who read it.

Jenny was bitter.

And then she got involved with Alert,

wrote another book, The Enemies of Eve,

and that one sold a couple hundred

copies

until the murders began.

I just checked with her publisher.

Last week alone, it sold over a 100,000

copies.

And on top of that, with all the

commotion in the press about the

murders, she just got a million-dollar

advance for the publication rights to

her autobiography, a book she could not

give away before the murders.

>> Are you sure about that,

>> JD? I approve of what the woman's right

is all about. But Jenny is out for

Jenny.

She doesn't give a damn about alert.

She's using the organization for her own

gain. She's a sick, psychotic person.

I pray that you are wrong.

>> Let me bring her in.

>> If she's wrong,

let her prove it.

She's staying at a house that I own on

the edge of town. It's 3305 South Yale.

J D Fenton.

>> Hi J D. Listen, um, since I can't go

out, I I I thought I'd call and see if

you wouldn't mind picking me up some

shampoo. I'm all out and I feel uh

grimy, you know.

>> Yes, dear. I'm sure I can do that.

>> Are you okay? You sound funny.

>> JD

Jenny,

tell me something. Did you recently get

a great deal of money for your

autobiography?

>> Yeah. So what?

>> Well, why didn't you tell me about it?

>> I didn't think it was important. You

didn't think,

>> Jenny? Why did you li I

>> I didn't look What is the problem here?

J D I I J Dana.

Heat.

Heat.

Heat.

Heat.

I'm sorry this had to happen. And I hope

it doesn't hurt the woman's movement.

>> B, are you serious? We're talking about

women's rights. I mean, one person's

greed is not strong enough to destroy

something as important as women's

rights.

>> What do you think's going to happen to

Jenny Marshall?

>> And believe it or not, JD still wants to

defend her. And now she has two clients.

She's been charged herself with

obstruction of justice, harboring a

fugitive.

>> You think she'll get off? Well,

>> she's got the best lawyer in the

business.

>> Good, cuz when the publicity on Jenny's

trial comes out, we're going to need all

the help we can get.

Well, as Damon Renan once said, the

fight may not be to the strong, nor the

race to the swift, but that's the way to

bet. And I'm betting on the ladies.

Heat. Heat.

Heat.
