1
00:00:01,869 --> 00:00:04,361
Tonight on Murder, She Wrote.
2
00:00:04,438 --> 00:00:05,438
Now, get out!
3
00:00:05,506 --> 00:00:08,806
Try your extortion tactics on this one,
and Ben Forman is history around here.
4
00:00:08,876 --> 00:00:12,108
Murdered in his bathtub.
By electrocution, no less.
5
00:00:12,179 --> 00:00:13,807
My God, that was brilliant.
6
00:00:13,881 --> 00:00:16,350
I'm going to spend as
much as it takes to bury you.
7
00:00:16,683 --> 00:00:20,779
Consider yourself fortunate, Hans.
He's being uncharacteristically gentle.
8
00:00:21,021 --> 00:00:23,616
I was home alone at
the time of the murder.
9
00:00:23,690 --> 00:00:24,749
I hope that's true.
10
00:00:24,825 --> 00:00:28,091
Hey, listen, wuss. If I want to hear
anything from you, I'll ask you, all right?
11
00:00:28,161 --> 00:00:30,995
What I'd like to do is put
a contract out on Forman.
12
00:00:31,064 --> 00:00:34,034
And then you reread
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
13
00:00:34,101 --> 00:00:36,263
Why, you stupid little...
14
00:00:36,336 --> 00:00:38,976
The worst thing that'll happen is
he'll have us taken out and shot.
15
00:01:44,705 --> 00:01:48,005
Look, Carter, you see the numbers
your way, I see the numbers my way.
16
00:01:48,075 --> 00:01:49,270
Yeah, I know, I know.
17
00:01:49,343 --> 00:01:52,507
But, look, Kane's offer is not
gonna stay on the table forever.
18
00:01:52,579 --> 00:01:56,414
And it's an insult. We are not gonna
be new kids on the block much longer.
19
00:01:56,483 --> 00:01:58,027
Advertising dollars
are up, circulation...
20
00:01:58,051 --> 00:02:02,955
Inching. Dean, the bankers, their
smoke detectors are whistling a big N-O.
21
00:02:04,925 --> 00:02:05,984
Yes?
22
00:02:06,059 --> 00:02:07,550
Gary Mannion on line 1.
23
00:02:07,628 --> 00:02:10,496
Oh, how did I get so lucky?
24
00:02:10,564 --> 00:02:13,227
Look, Carter, you're the one
who thought it would be neat
25
00:02:13,300 --> 00:02:14,996
to get into magazine
publishing, right?
26
00:02:15,068 --> 00:02:16,092
Yeah.
27
00:02:16,169 --> 00:02:18,502
Did I or did I not warn
you of all the realities
28
00:02:18,572 --> 00:02:20,083
long before you ever
wrote out a check?
29
00:02:20,107 --> 00:02:21,107
Yeah. Right.
30
00:02:21,174 --> 00:02:23,152
So if the bankers are not
going to write us a new loan,
31
00:02:23,176 --> 00:02:25,941
you're gonna have to dip
into that trust fund again, okay?
32
00:02:26,013 --> 00:02:28,073
Now, come on, I got
a lot of work to do.
33
00:02:29,583 --> 00:02:30,583
What, Mannion?
34
00:02:30,651 --> 00:02:32,562
Upon my soul, the
man's warmth is exceeded
35
00:02:32,586 --> 00:02:34,350
only by his eagerness
to hear my voice.
36
00:02:34,421 --> 00:02:36,049
Oh, please, get to the point.
37
00:02:36,123 --> 00:02:39,252
I'm calling to find out how Ben
Forman did with the J.B. Fletcher piece.
38
00:02:39,326 --> 00:02:41,352
How conscientious. He didn't.
39
00:02:41,428 --> 00:02:42,657
Say what?
40
00:02:42,729 --> 00:02:46,257
What I'm saying is, if he screws
up again, I will never hire him again.
41
00:02:46,333 --> 00:02:48,734
And I'll probably never hire
one of your writers again.
42
00:02:48,802 --> 00:02:49,802
I'll talk to him.
43
00:02:49,870 --> 00:02:51,964
Please do, because
I'd rather not.
44
00:02:52,039 --> 00:02:54,384
The truth is if that young
neurotic wasn't such a good writer,
45
00:02:54,408 --> 00:02:55,451
and if he wasn't represented
46
00:02:55,475 --> 00:02:57,887
by the biggest pain in the neck
in town, he couldn't get arrested.
47
00:02:57,911 --> 00:03:00,972
Okay, one more word
and I'll pull him off the story!
48
00:03:02,449 --> 00:03:05,078
Just remind him our
deadline's Friday, 3:00 p.m.,
49
00:03:05,152 --> 00:03:07,383
and I'm holding you
responsible. Thank you.
50
00:03:07,454 --> 00:03:08,615
Agents.
51
00:03:10,090 --> 00:03:12,821
No, no, no. We have to
do something with her hair.
52
00:03:12,959 --> 00:03:15,087
We'll have to
re-shoot. Then re-shoot.
53
00:03:15,162 --> 00:03:16,323
And I hate this headline.
54
00:03:16,396 --> 00:03:20,060
I want something sexier, something
that reaches out, pulls you in.
55
00:03:20,133 --> 00:03:21,601
Okay, but the Goldberg story...
56
00:03:21,668 --> 00:03:24,069
Ellen, it'll have
to wait. I'm late.
57
00:03:28,542 --> 00:03:30,807
Mr. Forman, is there
something I can help you with?
58
00:03:30,877 --> 00:03:34,041
Oh, I had these notes, you
know, from my research that I did.
59
00:03:34,114 --> 00:03:36,106
Oh, of course. Yeah.
A list of questions.
60
00:03:37,084 --> 00:03:40,646
Wait. Here. Is this
what you're looking for?
61
00:03:40,721 --> 00:03:44,021
Oh, yes, yes. Thank you.
62
00:03:44,825 --> 00:03:47,192
Uh, so, you were saying?
63
00:03:47,260 --> 00:03:49,923
Oh, yeah, what
was it? Oh, oh, yes,
64
00:03:49,996 --> 00:03:53,660
that puzzles and books, I
think, are really what led me to...
65
00:03:53,734 --> 00:03:57,694
Excuse me, Mrs. Fletcher, this
thing doesn't seem to be recording.
66
00:03:57,771 --> 00:03:59,740
Could it be the batteries?
67
00:03:59,806 --> 00:04:03,800
Yes. That must be it. I have a fresh
set right here. It'll only take a minute.
68
00:04:04,544 --> 00:04:06,570
Hold everything.
I'll be right back.
69
00:04:06,646 --> 00:04:09,047
Oh, God, I don't
believe this is happening.
70
00:04:09,583 --> 00:04:11,017
I think we'll have
to make this a...
71
00:04:11,084 --> 00:04:13,315
You know, I'll just
take it longhand.
72
00:04:15,655 --> 00:04:18,250
Okay. Now, my next question is,
73
00:04:18,325 --> 00:04:21,420
how long does it take you from
the time that you get an idea
74
00:04:21,495 --> 00:04:22,793
to the finished novel?
75
00:04:22,863 --> 00:04:27,267
Ben, I'm afraid I'm going to
have to leave for my meeting.
76
00:04:27,334 --> 00:04:30,361
Oh, right. How's
your time tomorrow?
77
00:04:30,437 --> 00:04:33,635
Crowded. I have meetings
all day, all over town.
78
00:04:33,707 --> 00:04:36,233
Well, maybe I could
tag along with you?
79
00:04:37,377 --> 00:04:39,972
Well, if you like. I
suppose so, sure.
80
00:04:40,046 --> 00:04:42,413
That'd be great. I get some
of my best profiles that way.
81
00:04:42,482 --> 00:04:44,951
You know, on the
run, a lot of energy.
82
00:04:48,321 --> 00:04:49,321
Oh!
83
00:04:49,723 --> 00:04:53,558
My father insisted that I
never had anything to prove.
84
00:04:53,627 --> 00:04:56,825
Well, if he insisted, he certainly
did it when I was well out of earshot.
85
00:04:56,897 --> 00:04:58,297
Well, perhaps you
weren't listening.
86
00:04:59,399 --> 00:05:02,164
Don't waste your breath,
Jessica. It's a lost cause.
87
00:05:02,235 --> 00:05:04,295
Okay, okay, okay.
88
00:05:04,371 --> 00:05:08,035
Anyway, I'm very grateful that
you're allowing us to do this profile.
89
00:05:08,108 --> 00:05:10,373
Well, I wish I was as
convinced as you are
90
00:05:10,443 --> 00:05:13,277
that your readers are going
to find it that interesting.
91
00:05:13,346 --> 00:05:16,111
Anyway, Ben Forman, no problem.
92
00:05:16,183 --> 00:05:20,245
In fact, I find him a delight.
93
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:24,314
I have to run, darling. Three
photo shoots and a looping session.
94
00:05:26,026 --> 00:05:28,393
Dean, stop. I'm
flavor of the month.
95
00:05:28,461 --> 00:05:29,690
Goodbye, Jessica.
96
00:05:29,763 --> 00:05:31,629
Have a good day, Kathryn.
97
00:05:31,698 --> 00:05:33,496
She's a lovely
young woman, Dean.
98
00:05:33,567 --> 00:05:35,058
Jessica.
99
00:05:35,135 --> 00:05:37,468
I'm much more interested
in what you're not saying.
100
00:05:37,537 --> 00:05:41,269
Mr. Richards. Ah!
And Mrs. Fletcher.
101
00:05:42,008 --> 00:05:43,806
It's been a long time.
102
00:05:43,877 --> 00:05:46,312
Yes, it has, Mr. Kane.
103
00:05:46,613 --> 00:05:48,582
Well, I trust that Carter
managed to convey
104
00:05:48,648 --> 00:05:51,243
the extremely temporary
nature of my offer.
105
00:05:51,318 --> 00:05:55,881
Mr. Kane, you're more than welcome
to withdraw your offer anytime you'd like.
106
00:05:56,456 --> 00:05:57,733
You're making a serious mistake.
107
00:05:57,757 --> 00:06:00,124
Look, Kane, even if
the money wasn't a joke,
108
00:06:00,193 --> 00:06:02,424
even if I was on the
brink of financial obscurity,
109
00:06:02,495 --> 00:06:04,623
I would never let Follies
fall into your hands.
110
00:06:05,899 --> 00:06:08,596
Well, allow me to
sweeten the pot for you.
111
00:06:08,668 --> 00:06:12,901
If you don't agree to sell me the magazine
in 48 hours under my current terms,
112
00:06:13,940 --> 00:06:18,571
you have my promise, I'll put you out
of business before the end of the year.
113
00:06:22,382 --> 00:06:23,850
Have a nice lunch.
114
00:06:28,822 --> 00:06:30,984
And the most disgusting thing
115
00:06:31,057 --> 00:06:33,549
is that he just may have the
financial wherewithal to do it.
116
00:06:33,627 --> 00:06:36,153
I take it your experience with
him wasn't such a pleasant one?
117
00:06:36,229 --> 00:06:38,664
Last year, without
my permission,
118
00:06:38,732 --> 00:06:42,897
he shopped one of my books
to all the studios and networks.
119
00:06:42,969 --> 00:06:46,098
Let me guess, and he didn't
have an option for the movie rights.
120
00:06:46,172 --> 00:06:49,301
So by the time a legitimate
producer wanted it,
121
00:06:49,376 --> 00:06:51,641
it was regarded
as damaged goods.
122
00:06:51,711 --> 00:06:55,170
Oh, Mr. Kane, such
a fine gentleman.
123
00:06:57,183 --> 00:06:58,276
"Very well, then.
124
00:06:58,351 --> 00:07:01,344
"You have my permission to
leave anytime you're ready."
125
00:07:02,222 --> 00:07:05,556
Uh, "Fine. Then I'll just
throw my things in a bag
126
00:07:05,625 --> 00:07:07,355
"and I'll be out of
here in an hour."
127
00:07:07,427 --> 00:07:09,487
"Fifteen minutes
would be better."
128
00:07:09,562 --> 00:07:11,374
Preferable. "Fifteen
minutes would be preferable."
129
00:07:11,398 --> 00:07:13,867
Oh, God!
130
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:15,896
I really hope I get this one.
131
00:07:15,969 --> 00:07:18,414
Well, if you don't, they're crazy,
because you're perfect for this.
132
00:07:18,438 --> 00:07:20,430
Thanks.
133
00:07:20,507 --> 00:07:24,501
You know, I bet if I had a killer agent
like you do, I would be a big star by now.
134
00:07:24,577 --> 00:07:26,773
Well, at least a
working actress.
135
00:07:26,846 --> 00:07:29,406
I mean, not that you aren't a
really good writer, or anything...
136
00:07:29,516 --> 00:07:31,678
It's okay. I know
what you mean, Abby.
137
00:07:33,653 --> 00:07:36,919
You know, I really wish that
he wouldn't smoke these things.
138
00:07:36,990 --> 00:07:39,186
Oh, you know, it's funny
that you should say that,
139
00:07:39,259 --> 00:07:40,469
because when he
was here last night,
140
00:07:40,493 --> 00:07:42,985
I was thinking of saying
something to him about it.
141
00:07:43,363 --> 00:07:45,855
Ben, do you suppose...
142
00:07:45,932 --> 00:07:49,994
I mean, would he consider ever
branching out from just handling writers
143
00:07:50,070 --> 00:07:53,700
and maybe take on
someone, you know, like me?
144
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:55,401
It won't hurt to ask.
145
00:07:55,475 --> 00:07:58,115
The worst thing that'll happen is
he'll have us taken out and shot.
146
00:07:58,845 --> 00:08:00,056
Geez, Abby, what
the hell are you doing?
147
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,590
I've been calling your
place for like an hour.
148
00:08:01,614 --> 00:08:04,914
Oh, I'm sorry. We
were just reading lines.
149
00:08:04,985 --> 00:08:06,009
How did your audition go?
150
00:08:06,086 --> 00:08:07,363
Oh, hey, Doris, listen,
is Gary... It went great.
151
00:08:07,387 --> 00:08:09,547
They said that they're
probably gonna give me a call...
152
00:08:10,523 --> 00:08:12,924
Hi, Gary, it's Ben. Ben Forman.
153
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:14,584
Uh, listen,
154
00:08:14,661 --> 00:08:17,961
I was wondering if you'd be able to
take the time to meet with Abby Peters.
155
00:08:18,031 --> 00:08:21,968
She's that actress that I've been
telling you about. She's really terrific.
156
00:08:22,035 --> 00:08:23,401
I really think that you...
157
00:08:23,470 --> 00:08:25,063
You will? That's great!
158
00:08:25,138 --> 00:08:27,232
That is really great!
159
00:08:27,307 --> 00:08:30,675
Yes, I will have the Fletcher
piece done by tomorrow.
160
00:08:30,744 --> 00:08:32,610
All right, Gary. Thank you.
161
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,615
He said that you should call him this
afternoon and set up an appointment.
162
00:08:35,682 --> 00:08:38,277
Oh, Ben, that is so hot!
163
00:08:38,351 --> 00:08:40,162
Hey, come on, you're gonna
be late for your audition.
164
00:08:40,186 --> 00:08:42,164
You know, I just hope you
know your lines, for a change.
165
00:08:42,188 --> 00:08:43,747
She's been working really hard.
166
00:08:43,823 --> 00:08:46,802
Hey, listen, wuss. If I want to hear
anything from you, I'll ask you, all right?
167
00:08:46,826 --> 00:08:49,261
Look, Dave, just
leave him alone.
168
00:08:51,464 --> 00:08:52,932
Come on, let's go, Abby.
169
00:08:54,434 --> 00:08:55,766
Good luck.
170
00:08:55,835 --> 00:08:57,133
Bye, Ben.
171
00:09:04,677 --> 00:09:05,975
Yes?
172
00:09:06,546 --> 00:09:09,038
Oh. How are you, Mr. Kane?
173
00:09:09,115 --> 00:09:13,348
Wonderful. Listen, but not as
wonderful as that screenplay of yours.
174
00:09:13,420 --> 00:09:15,480
You're kidding! No.
175
00:09:15,555 --> 00:09:17,786
I think we can get
Squeegee made.
176
00:09:17,857 --> 00:09:19,120
Oh, wow, Mr. Kane...
177
00:09:19,192 --> 00:09:21,787
Harrison, please, please.
178
00:09:21,861 --> 00:09:23,989
Can I talk to you as
a friend here, Ben?
179
00:09:24,064 --> 00:09:25,726
Uh, sure.
180
00:09:25,799 --> 00:09:29,031
Good, 'cause, well, I
have a favor to ask you.
181
00:09:29,102 --> 00:09:33,233
I wonder if you'd have a word
with that SOB agent of yours. Hmm?
182
00:09:33,306 --> 00:09:35,400
Maybe slip him
some reasonable pills?
183
00:09:35,475 --> 00:09:39,003
Uh, you know, Mr. Kane, you're
putting me in a very awkward position.
184
00:09:39,079 --> 00:09:40,479
Okay. Hey, suit yourself.
185
00:09:40,547 --> 00:09:42,675
I just wanted to hear
from your own lips
186
00:09:42,749 --> 00:09:44,308
that you were gonna take a hike
187
00:09:44,384 --> 00:09:47,821
if I didn't come up with
$100,000 for the option.
188
00:09:48,521 --> 00:09:50,513
Wow, he's asking for that much?
189
00:09:50,590 --> 00:09:54,686
Ooh. Demanding.
Issuing ultimatums.
190
00:09:54,761 --> 00:09:56,889
Well, I'll see what I can do.
191
00:09:56,963 --> 00:10:01,059
Listen, Mr... Harrison.
I got a favor to ask you.
192
00:10:01,134 --> 00:10:02,193
I'm listening.
193
00:10:02,268 --> 00:10:03,702
The role of Paula.
194
00:10:03,770 --> 00:10:08,265
There's this actress I know, she's
really terrific. Her name is Abby Peters.
195
00:10:08,341 --> 00:10:10,606
Yeah. Well, look,
have her give me a call.
196
00:10:21,121 --> 00:10:24,523
You really don't care whether
you get this role or not, do you?
197
00:10:24,591 --> 00:10:26,321
Not really, no.
198
00:10:26,726 --> 00:10:29,662
Is there anything that
you really care about?
199
00:10:29,729 --> 00:10:31,857
I mean, passionately, deeply?
200
00:10:32,465 --> 00:10:34,366
Well, I have this cat.
201
00:10:35,068 --> 00:10:38,800
She looks into my soul, and
I into hers. I care about her.
202
00:10:42,375 --> 00:10:44,344
How long ago did you
start writing mysteries?
203
00:10:44,410 --> 00:10:46,811
Fourteen years ago,
as a matter of fact.
204
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,680
Of course, that was back when I
was still teaching high school English.
205
00:10:49,716 --> 00:10:54,245
You see, I read about this
murder in Bar Harbor, and I...
206
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,813
Oh, dear, Ben. Look, I've got 10
minutes to get to my publisher's.
207
00:10:57,891 --> 00:11:00,793
Thank you. I have everything
I need. I love working...
208
00:11:00,860 --> 00:11:02,920
Here's a cab.
209
00:11:04,063 --> 00:11:06,328
This has really been
absolutely terrific, Jessica.
210
00:11:06,399 --> 00:11:07,924
Well, it's been
great fun for me, too.
211
00:11:08,001 --> 00:11:10,903
And I just hope that it
measures up to your expectations.
212
00:11:12,272 --> 00:11:13,706
Oh, God! I'm sorry.
213
00:11:13,773 --> 00:11:17,210
It's all right.
Listen, don't forget,
214
00:11:17,277 --> 00:11:19,906
I want to see the copy
before you send it into Follies.
215
00:11:19,979 --> 00:11:22,346
Absolutely, yes. Thank you.
216
00:11:22,415 --> 00:11:23,781
Thank you.
217
00:11:25,051 --> 00:11:28,317
Oh, and, Ben, at the risk
of raining on your parade,
218
00:11:28,388 --> 00:11:30,482
a word of advice
about Harrison Kane.
219
00:11:30,557 --> 00:11:34,016
I suggest that you keep a
very close eye on your script
220
00:11:34,093 --> 00:11:35,425
and on your wallet.
221
00:11:35,495 --> 00:11:37,657
And that your agent
does the same.
222
00:11:38,865 --> 00:11:42,267
I don't know where the hell you
would hear that, Mannion, but it's a lie.
223
00:11:42,335 --> 00:11:44,930
I would never shop a property
I don't own the rights to.
224
00:11:45,004 --> 00:11:46,348
That's not what I heard, pal.
225
00:11:46,372 --> 00:11:48,017
A cashier's check for
the optioned dollars.
226
00:11:48,041 --> 00:11:52,001
A hundred thousand of them,
on my desk by noon tomorrow.
227
00:11:52,078 --> 00:11:53,410
Mannion... And,
228
00:11:53,479 --> 00:11:55,744
if you try to sell that
script without a deal,
229
00:11:55,815 --> 00:11:57,613
both Ben Forman
and I will sue you
230
00:11:57,684 --> 00:12:00,017
for every cent you're
ever gonna be worth.
231
00:12:00,086 --> 00:12:02,126
Look, if you'd give me a...
And another thing, Kane.
232
00:12:02,155 --> 00:12:04,624
About this young
actress, Abby Peters.
233
00:12:04,691 --> 00:12:07,286
You pull any of your famous
scope and grope on the lady,
234
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,955
and we're gonna rewrite
the definition of trouble.
235
00:12:18,504 --> 00:12:22,566
Harrison, I'm asking you as a
friend, please don't pull your offer.
236
00:12:22,642 --> 00:12:24,474
Oh, what is this,
good cop, bad cop?
237
00:12:24,544 --> 00:12:26,021
I warned you not to
play games with me.
238
00:12:26,045 --> 00:12:28,446
No, and I told you
that's not how I operate.
239
00:12:28,514 --> 00:12:30,210
Now, look, just give
me another day or two,
240
00:12:30,283 --> 00:12:33,310
and I promise you, I'm
certain I can turn Dean around.
241
00:12:33,386 --> 00:12:35,082
Oh, well, you're
too late, Carter.
242
00:12:35,154 --> 00:12:38,056
You can keep your magazine.
I'm already onto plan B.
243
00:12:38,124 --> 00:12:42,585
I'm gonna spend as much as
it takes to bury you, and Follies.
244
00:12:42,662 --> 00:12:45,598
And your terminally
short-sighted partner.
245
00:12:46,199 --> 00:12:47,861
Now, get out.
246
00:12:52,105 --> 00:12:54,040
And you can give
him a message for me.
247
00:12:55,108 --> 00:12:57,475
Tell him not to mess
with Harrison Kane.
248
00:13:19,465 --> 00:13:20,985
Energy, energy.
Come on, Kathryn!
249
00:13:21,034 --> 00:13:22,593
Give it some life,
for God's sake!
250
00:13:22,669 --> 00:13:24,103
I'm trying.
251
00:13:24,170 --> 00:13:26,181
The hell you are. The whole
day you haven't been with me.
252
00:13:26,205 --> 00:13:28,640
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Hans, cut her some slack.
253
00:13:28,708 --> 00:13:30,370
She's gotten more
than she deserves.
254
00:13:30,443 --> 00:13:33,743
And you haven't been any help.
She's had zero concentration.
255
00:13:33,813 --> 00:13:35,991
You know, Hans, I think you're
overstepping... Dean, stay out of it.
256
00:13:36,015 --> 00:13:38,849
Okay, okay, okay. Why don't
we just call it quits, all right?
257
00:13:38,918 --> 00:13:40,029
- That's a wrap.
- That's a wrap.
258
00:13:40,053 --> 00:13:42,921
Why don't you and I go dive
into a nice cool drink. Hmm?
259
00:13:42,989 --> 00:13:46,118
All right, everybody.
Makeup, 9:00 a.m. sharp.
260
00:13:46,192 --> 00:13:49,128
And, Dean, do me a
favor, stay at the office.
261
00:13:49,195 --> 00:13:52,654
Hans, do me a favor. The
Malibu pictures, I'd like them.
262
00:13:52,732 --> 00:13:54,143
Couple of days. End of
the week, at the latest.
263
00:13:54,167 --> 00:13:57,899
No, no, no, no. 10:00,
my desk, tomorrow.
264
00:13:57,970 --> 00:13:59,014
And I hope they're
a hell of a lot better
265
00:13:59,038 --> 00:14:00,349
than that crap you
gave us last month.
266
00:14:00,373 --> 00:14:03,138
You're joking?
You're not joking.
267
00:14:04,177 --> 00:14:05,941
That was some of my finest work.
268
00:14:06,012 --> 00:14:10,450
Consider yourself fortunate, Hans.
He's being uncharacteristically gentle.
269
00:14:18,524 --> 00:14:21,858
I heard from a
very reliable source
270
00:14:21,928 --> 00:14:25,387
that Harrison Kane's
finances are in the dumper.
271
00:14:25,631 --> 00:14:27,998
We're talking a
complete meltdown.
272
00:14:28,067 --> 00:14:29,729
I can't say I'm surprised.
273
00:14:29,802 --> 00:14:31,498
He always struck me as a phony.
274
00:14:31,571 --> 00:14:34,632
Well, that's because you're much
more perceptive than most people.
275
00:14:35,775 --> 00:14:38,836
And while Follies is
hardly out of the woods,
276
00:14:40,079 --> 00:14:44,642
at least we won't have Harrison
Kane kicking us around anymore, hmm?
277
00:14:46,586 --> 00:14:50,887
Good night, darling. It'll go
better tomorrow, I promise.
278
00:15:00,166 --> 00:15:01,977
Listen, I'm sorry I had
to move our appointment
279
00:15:02,001 --> 00:15:04,732
to such a late
hour, Miss Peters,
280
00:15:04,804 --> 00:15:06,448
but it's just been one
of those days, you know.
281
00:15:06,472 --> 00:15:09,169
Business meetings
and phone calls and...
282
00:15:09,242 --> 00:15:12,303
Oh, Mr. Kane, really, this
has been such a day for me.
283
00:15:12,378 --> 00:15:16,372
First Mr. Mannion agrees to represent
me, and then he gets you to meet with me.
284
00:15:16,449 --> 00:15:19,442
Well, I'm the one
who's impressed.
285
00:15:19,585 --> 00:15:21,451
For the role of Paula?
286
00:15:21,521 --> 00:15:25,014
Of course, yeah. Nobody's
got a lock on that yet, but...
287
00:15:25,091 --> 00:15:29,722
I'm also impressed with that very
appealing, special quality that you have.
288
00:15:29,796 --> 00:15:32,459
You've got that,
that fire in the belly.
289
00:15:32,532 --> 00:15:35,900
You know, that hot, hot thing
that actresses need to have.
290
00:15:35,968 --> 00:15:38,961
And you've got
it. You got the fire.
291
00:15:39,038 --> 00:15:43,237
Unfortunately, you've also got that
lowlife Gary Mannion representing you.
292
00:15:43,309 --> 00:15:46,905
Not that that has to be
a deal breaker. It's just...
293
00:15:46,979 --> 00:15:49,258
Let's not talk about it. Let's
not let that spoil our night.
294
00:15:49,282 --> 00:15:51,911
I've got room service,
dinner for two, candlelight.
295
00:15:53,486 --> 00:15:57,218
Mr. Kane. Well, I
am very disappointed.
296
00:15:57,290 --> 00:16:00,454
Oh, for God's sake, what
do you think this is, the '50s?
297
00:16:00,526 --> 00:16:02,290
No, but you must.
298
00:16:02,361 --> 00:16:03,572
You know, I may
be awfully naive,
299
00:16:03,596 --> 00:16:05,808
but I thought this sort of thing
went out of style about then.
300
00:16:05,832 --> 00:16:07,733
Why, you stupid little...
301
00:16:10,770 --> 00:16:12,136
Good evening, sir.
302
00:16:21,881 --> 00:16:23,315
No!
303
00:16:23,382 --> 00:16:25,044
Oh, my God.
304
00:16:42,502 --> 00:16:43,765
Come on!
305
00:16:54,714 --> 00:16:57,183
West 9th Street, 427.
306
00:17:09,295 --> 00:17:10,854
Abby!
307
00:17:22,542 --> 00:17:23,874
Room service.
308
00:17:25,645 --> 00:17:27,011
Mr. Kane?
309
00:17:28,514 --> 00:17:29,641
Mr. Kane?
310
00:17:34,153 --> 00:17:35,246
Mr. Kane?
311
00:17:42,662 --> 00:17:45,689
Mr. Kane, are you...
312
00:17:47,300 --> 00:17:49,166
Oh, my God!
313
00:17:53,940 --> 00:17:56,933
Yep, room service
waiter found him.
314
00:17:57,009 --> 00:18:01,276
Murdered in his bathtub. By electrocution,
no less. Hair dryer, probably.
315
00:18:01,347 --> 00:18:02,940
Oh, how dreadful.
316
00:18:03,015 --> 00:18:05,814
I thought there were safeguards
against that sort of thing.
317
00:18:05,885 --> 00:18:08,616
The power was supposed
to shut down automatically.
318
00:18:08,688 --> 00:18:11,658
The hotel is in violation
of the electrical code.
319
00:18:11,724 --> 00:18:17,527
Anyhow, since Dean Richards claims that
the last time he saw Harrison Kane alive
320
00:18:17,597 --> 00:18:20,226
was a couple of days ago, when
you were having lunch with him,
321
00:18:20,299 --> 00:18:21,392
I'd appreciate a statement.
322
00:18:21,467 --> 00:18:22,935
Well, of course.
323
00:18:23,002 --> 00:18:26,632
Plus, your name, address and phone
number turned up in Kane's book.
324
00:18:26,706 --> 00:18:29,335
And Richards says even you
weren't that fond of this guy.
325
00:18:29,408 --> 00:18:32,867
Yes, we had less than
positive business dealings.
326
00:18:32,945 --> 00:18:37,713
Look, Jessica. I know that
this is not the best time for this,
327
00:18:37,783 --> 00:18:40,014
but could we do
this a little quickly?
328
00:18:40,086 --> 00:18:42,920
Doris made reservations
at a resort in the Catskills,
329
00:18:42,989 --> 00:18:44,399
and I'm supposed to
pick her up in a few hours.
330
00:18:44,423 --> 00:18:46,187
Well, that sounds lovely.
331
00:18:46,258 --> 00:18:48,591
Yeah, she really is
looking forward to it.
332
00:18:48,661 --> 00:18:51,825
We're meeting another couple up
there. Her best friend from college.
333
00:18:51,897 --> 00:18:55,698
The thing is, her husband is about
as interesting as a TV test pattern.
334
00:18:56,335 --> 00:18:58,600
Listen. Lieutenant
Gelber, excuse me.
335
00:18:58,671 --> 00:19:01,732
Jessica, I think I better go
home and plug these changes in
336
00:19:01,807 --> 00:19:03,776
so that I can get the
new pages over to Follies.
337
00:19:03,843 --> 00:19:05,243
Hold it.
338
00:19:06,312 --> 00:19:10,579
Mr. Forman, I now remember
where I saw your name before.
339
00:19:11,550 --> 00:19:13,519
Yeah, yeah, here it is.
340
00:19:13,586 --> 00:19:16,146
Right in Harrison
Kane's little black book.
341
00:19:16,222 --> 00:19:18,817
Why don't you just hang
out for a few minutes
342
00:19:18,891 --> 00:19:20,985
while I get a statement
from you, too?
343
00:19:21,060 --> 00:19:22,494
Oh, yeah, sure.
344
00:19:24,230 --> 00:19:25,789
Are there any suspects, Artie?
345
00:19:26,932 --> 00:19:29,697
Outside of maybe half the people
in Los Angeles and Manhattan.
346
00:19:29,769 --> 00:19:31,397
This guy has been
accused of everything,
347
00:19:31,470 --> 00:19:35,305
from sexual harassment,
to bunko, to grand theft.
348
00:19:35,841 --> 00:19:39,278
Apparently, Mr. Kane
had a visitor last night.
349
00:19:39,345 --> 00:19:42,838
Someone with a taste for
expensive cigars and straight bourbon.
350
00:19:42,915 --> 00:19:44,383
We haven't ID'd him as yet.
351
00:19:46,919 --> 00:19:48,854
We'll run it in
three or four pieces.
352
00:19:48,921 --> 00:19:51,186
Sounds moderately interesting.
353
00:19:51,257 --> 00:19:55,388
Moderately interesting? Mannion,
please, this is a major assignment.
354
00:19:55,461 --> 00:19:57,987
This kid'll get so much
material, he'll get a book out of it.
355
00:19:58,064 --> 00:20:00,509
It's gonna be one of those long
pieces, like in the New Yorker.
356
00:20:00,533 --> 00:20:03,731
Just don't expect to buy him for the
kind of mini-bucks you've been paying.
357
00:20:03,803 --> 00:20:05,465
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, pal.
358
00:20:05,538 --> 00:20:09,168
Try your extortion tactics on this one,
and Ben Forman is history around here.
359
00:20:09,241 --> 00:20:12,087
And that's assuming he doesn't blow
his deadline on the Jessica Fletcher piece,
360
00:20:12,111 --> 00:20:14,273
which is in 53 minutes.
361
00:20:14,346 --> 00:20:18,181
Richards, when you're ready to treat
Ben with the respect he deserves, call me.
362
00:20:19,385 --> 00:20:23,254
That pencil-neck, high-handed,
pretentious... You know, that is it.
363
00:20:23,322 --> 00:20:25,757
That's the last time I deal
with him or Ben Forman.
364
00:20:25,825 --> 00:20:27,987
That's what you said last month.
365
00:20:28,060 --> 00:20:29,358
I heard you.
366
00:20:29,428 --> 00:20:33,388
Okay. Look, Carter, I have a
magazine to get out, so if you would be...
367
00:20:33,466 --> 00:20:35,594
Dean, we might not
have it much longer.
368
00:20:35,668 --> 00:20:38,536
Alive, at least, Kane looked
like a possible source of revenue.
369
00:20:38,604 --> 00:20:40,402
Now the bankers
really won't talk to us.
370
00:20:40,473 --> 00:20:41,907
They just want
their loans repaid.
371
00:20:41,974 --> 00:20:43,602
Okay, okay.
372
00:20:43,676 --> 00:20:45,706
Look, I have a couple
of leads on some money
373
00:20:45,730 --> 00:20:47,738
that'll get us through
to the next payroll.
374
00:20:47,813 --> 00:20:49,145
I hope that's true.
375
00:20:49,215 --> 00:20:50,917
And I hope we're
not in a lot deeper
376
00:20:50,941 --> 00:20:53,050
trouble than we were
yesterday at this time.
377
00:20:57,623 --> 00:21:00,115
Doris, not to worry.
I'll be there by 5:00.
378
00:21:00,192 --> 00:21:04,027
And then we'll be off to the
mountains with Lorraine and Ernie and...
379
00:21:04,263 --> 00:21:06,562
If I can get off this
phone right now.
380
00:21:06,632 --> 00:21:09,625
Yeah, me, too. Muah-muah.
381
00:21:09,702 --> 00:21:12,934
Ernie. The man hasn't
stopped talking since the flood.
382
00:21:13,005 --> 00:21:16,339
Listen, Jessica, I am so
sorry to drag you up here,
383
00:21:16,408 --> 00:21:19,867
but we found this manuscript
in Harrison Kane's hotel suite.
384
00:21:19,945 --> 00:21:21,811
It's got no title page, but,
385
00:21:21,881 --> 00:21:24,783
well, your fingerprints
are on a lot of the pages...
386
00:21:24,850 --> 00:21:28,753
Artie, by any chance does
the opening sentence read,
387
00:21:28,821 --> 00:21:31,814
"Danny Carvaggio opened
the dead man's wallet
388
00:21:31,891 --> 00:21:35,384
"and realized that he was staring at
more money than he'd ever seen"?
389
00:21:35,461 --> 00:21:36,827
You wrote this.
390
00:21:36,896 --> 00:21:41,732
Yes. And Mr. Kane shopped it all
over Hollywood without my authorization.
391
00:21:44,570 --> 00:21:45,902
Excuse me, Mrs. Fletcher.
392
00:21:45,971 --> 00:21:48,252
Lieutenant, to bring you up to
speed on the Kane homicide,
393
00:21:48,307 --> 00:21:50,902
there's still a bunch of prints
we haven't been able to ID.
394
00:21:50,976 --> 00:21:54,504
Plus, I still can't seem to
locate this Gary Mannion.
395
00:21:54,580 --> 00:21:57,744
Henderson, come on. He's
got to have a phone, an office...
396
00:21:57,817 --> 00:21:59,581
Yes, sir. Locked up tight.
397
00:21:59,652 --> 00:22:01,587
His machine says he's
in Boston for a few days,
398
00:22:01,654 --> 00:22:03,088
but he'll be checking
for messages.
399
00:22:03,155 --> 00:22:06,091
I've left about five of them
and contacted the Boston PD.
400
00:22:06,158 --> 00:22:08,389
Well, good, good. What
about his residence?
401
00:22:08,460 --> 00:22:11,020
No listing for him in the five
boroughs or surrounding counties.
402
00:22:11,096 --> 00:22:13,429
Yeah, well, then
check the airlines.
403
00:22:13,499 --> 00:22:17,937
Okay. One other thing, we still
haven't found a mate to Kane's room key.
404
00:22:18,003 --> 00:22:21,565
Hotel desk insists they always issue
two of them when the people check in.
405
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:23,472
Well, keep looking.
406
00:22:26,979 --> 00:22:29,881
Anyway, there've been
several phone calls
407
00:22:29,949 --> 00:22:32,612
from this Mannion to the
victim in the last couple of days.
408
00:22:32,685 --> 00:22:34,415
And according to
Kane's appointment book,
409
00:22:34,486 --> 00:22:36,846
they were supposed to have a
breakfast meeting this morning,
410
00:22:36,889 --> 00:22:39,484
only Kane wasn't quite up to it.
411
00:22:39,558 --> 00:22:41,837
I just hope to hell this doesn't
interfere with the weekend.
412
00:22:41,861 --> 00:22:43,454
Doris is gonna kill me.
413
00:22:43,529 --> 00:22:45,623
You know, Artie, you might
speak to Dean Richards.
414
00:22:45,698 --> 00:22:47,758
He's had plenty of
dealings with Mannion.
415
00:22:47,833 --> 00:22:49,495
Or for that matter, Ben Forman.
416
00:22:49,568 --> 00:22:51,537
I mean, after all,
Mannion's his agent.
417
00:22:51,604 --> 00:22:53,364
I'm sure he'd be able
to help you locate him.
418
00:22:53,405 --> 00:22:56,739
We're a couple of steps ahead
of you on that one, Jessica.
419
00:22:56,809 --> 00:22:58,573
Ben provided this.
420
00:22:58,644 --> 00:23:01,273
Got his license in California as
a literary agent three years ago.
421
00:23:01,347 --> 00:23:04,875
Signatory to the Writers Guild
and Dramatists Guild contracts.
422
00:23:04,950 --> 00:23:06,695
By the way, you wouldn't
know him, would you?
423
00:23:06,719 --> 00:23:08,745
Oh, I don't think so, no.
424
00:23:08,821 --> 00:23:09,948
Listen, Jessica,
425
00:23:10,022 --> 00:23:13,134
I hope you don't think I meant anything
by that business with the manuscript. I...
426
00:23:13,158 --> 00:23:16,890
Of course not, Artie. You
were only doing your job.
427
00:23:16,962 --> 00:23:20,797
And for what it's worth, I was
home alone at the time of the murder.
428
00:23:20,866 --> 00:23:24,359
Well, why should you be any different
than anybody else who has a beef with Kane?
429
00:23:24,470 --> 00:23:28,840
There is not an alibi in the bunch that
will float any better than the Titanic.
430
00:23:30,843 --> 00:23:32,937
Honest, Carter, I haven't
come up with anything.
431
00:23:33,012 --> 00:23:35,757
The hell you haven't. You've got the
hots for him, so you're protecting him.
432
00:23:35,781 --> 00:23:37,272
That's not true. Yeah, right.
433
00:23:37,349 --> 00:23:39,818
Ellen, listen, I wasn't
born five minutes ago.
434
00:23:39,885 --> 00:23:42,097
Now, you said you could find
out who Dean's been talking to
435
00:23:42,121 --> 00:23:44,681
and what kind of deals he's
been making behind my back.
436
00:23:44,757 --> 00:23:48,660
Now, I expect information,
not pangs of conscience.
437
00:23:49,795 --> 00:23:51,593
Okay.
438
00:23:51,664 --> 00:23:54,065
You're right, my
heart hasn't been in it.
439
00:23:54,133 --> 00:23:58,298
Yes, I was bitter about Kathryn
Scofield, but this is the end.
440
00:23:58,370 --> 00:24:03,001
Even if you tell Dean, even if it costs
me my job, I'm not spying on him anymore.
441
00:24:03,075 --> 00:24:05,101
So you are covering up for him?
442
00:24:06,211 --> 00:24:07,406
You know something, Carter?
443
00:24:07,479 --> 00:24:09,215
Maybe you ought to
think about spending some
444
00:24:09,239 --> 00:24:11,079
of that money of yours
on a good psychiatrist.
445
00:24:21,827 --> 00:24:22,971
Hello. DEAN: Have you seen Ben?
446
00:24:22,995 --> 00:24:24,205
I haven't received
his piece yet.
447
00:24:24,229 --> 00:24:25,229
You haven't?
448
00:24:25,297 --> 00:24:28,290
No, I haven't, and we were supposed
to go to press over an hour ago.
449
00:24:28,367 --> 00:24:31,030
But I went over the pages
with Ben this morning.
450
00:24:31,103 --> 00:24:34,073
It was all done, except
for a few minor changes.
451
00:24:34,139 --> 00:24:36,802
Minor changes, major
changes, I haven't seen bubkes.
452
00:24:36,875 --> 00:24:39,387
And to make matters worse, the
police were here looking for him.
453
00:24:39,411 --> 00:24:42,347
Look, Dean, can't you just kill
the story and remake the pages?
454
00:24:42,414 --> 00:24:46,215
It's impossible. It's billboarded on
the cover, which we've already printed.
455
00:24:46,285 --> 00:24:47,446
You know, what I'd like to do
456
00:24:47,519 --> 00:24:49,147
is put a contract out on Forman,
457
00:24:49,221 --> 00:24:52,214
and his agent, who hasn't got
the guts to meet me face to face.
458
00:24:52,291 --> 00:24:53,902
And you know what? I'd
probably get away with it,
459
00:24:53,926 --> 00:24:55,170
because between the two of them,
460
00:24:55,194 --> 00:24:57,754
it would barely add up
to killing an entire person.
461
00:24:58,297 --> 00:25:00,789
Dean, I'm afraid I have
to make another call.
462
00:25:00,866 --> 00:25:02,926
Please let me know
if you hear anything.
463
00:25:03,002 --> 00:25:04,664
Yes, I will, Jessica.
And you, me?
464
00:25:04,737 --> 00:25:06,365
Yes. Yes, I will.
465
00:25:11,510 --> 00:25:13,240
Business office.
How may I help you?
466
00:25:13,312 --> 00:25:17,408
Yes, this is the office of
Gary Mannion, 555-6700.
467
00:25:17,483 --> 00:25:20,715
There seems to be some sort
of discrepancy in our phone bill.
468
00:25:20,786 --> 00:25:22,755
Area code 212? That's right.
469
00:25:23,055 --> 00:25:26,890
I believe that we're being charged for
a service that we've never requested.
470
00:25:26,959 --> 00:25:28,222
Call forwarding?
471
00:25:28,293 --> 00:25:30,159
Well, we show your
calls being forwarded.
472
00:25:30,229 --> 00:25:31,288
Really?
473
00:25:31,363 --> 00:25:34,299
Yes, to 555-7688.
474
00:25:34,366 --> 00:25:35,834
Yes, well, thank
you. You're welcome.
475
00:25:35,901 --> 00:25:37,631
Yes, I'll speak to
Mr. Mannion about it.
476
00:25:37,703 --> 00:25:39,035
Okay.
477
00:25:41,907 --> 00:25:45,366
Look, I'm just
not sure, that's all.
478
00:25:45,444 --> 00:25:47,436
I'll let you know later.
479
00:25:47,513 --> 00:25:49,948
What, after you find out if
that wimp writer is available?
480
00:25:50,015 --> 00:25:53,884
Dave, look, I'm just not
feeling too terrific, okay?
481
00:25:53,952 --> 00:25:56,353
That's who you were
out with last night, isn't it?
482
00:25:56,422 --> 00:25:59,984
God, you know, Abby, I can't believe
that you're buying into his whole act.
483
00:26:29,888 --> 00:26:31,322
Mr. Mannion?
484
00:26:33,092 --> 00:26:34,856
Mr. Mannion's not in?
485
00:26:34,927 --> 00:26:38,921
No. And I just spoke
with him a half hour ago.
486
00:26:38,997 --> 00:26:40,761
I should have taken
him at his word.
487
00:26:40,833 --> 00:26:43,894
He said I could mail these,
my pictures and credits.
488
00:26:43,969 --> 00:26:45,699
I just didn't want to wait.
489
00:26:45,771 --> 00:26:49,071
What is this? Everybody in
Manhattan wants to talk to Mannion?
490
00:26:49,141 --> 00:26:51,303
I have a couple of questions
I'd like to ask him, yes.
491
00:26:51,376 --> 00:26:53,470
Yeah, not as many
as I would. Excuse me.
492
00:26:55,447 --> 00:26:56,676
Excuse me.
493
00:26:56,748 --> 00:27:00,241
Oh, by the way, we traced those
cigars we found at the murder scene.
494
00:27:00,319 --> 00:27:02,686
They're Mannion's.
We ran his credit cards.
495
00:27:02,754 --> 00:27:06,953
Orders them by the box. Eight
bucks per smoke, if you can believe it.
496
00:27:07,025 --> 00:27:08,357
There you go, Lieutenant.
497
00:27:08,427 --> 00:27:10,453
Henderson, let me
ask you something.
498
00:27:10,529 --> 00:27:11,706
You ever get caught flat-footed?
499
00:27:11,730 --> 00:27:14,894
You know, when you weren't prepared
for a situation before it happened?
500
00:27:14,967 --> 00:27:16,211
In the second
grade, I think it was.
501
00:27:16,235 --> 00:27:19,694
Yeah, I figured. You can give
me the details some other time.
502
00:27:31,283 --> 00:27:34,879
Looks like Mannion's our
man. Ugh, smells like it, too.
503
00:27:34,953 --> 00:27:38,822
Okay, okay, we'll get
Forensics down here ASAP.
504
00:27:38,891 --> 00:27:40,723
So let's don't touch anything.
505
00:27:40,792 --> 00:27:43,318
Ten will get you 75, Mannion's
prints will match the ones
506
00:27:43,395 --> 00:27:45,489
that are all over
the murder weapon.
507
00:27:45,564 --> 00:27:47,226
And I'll put out an APB.
508
00:27:47,299 --> 00:27:50,895
Uh, excuse me, Artie. It might
be a good idea to call the airline.
509
00:27:50,969 --> 00:27:51,969
We did that.
510
00:27:52,037 --> 00:27:56,338
Well, if you don't mind me saying so, it
might not be a bad idea to call them again.
511
00:27:56,408 --> 00:27:57,774
Hold it, Jerry.
512
00:27:57,843 --> 00:27:59,869
I'm not sure I'm
getting your drift.
513
00:28:00,979 --> 00:28:03,039
Okay, okay, I'm telling you,
514
00:28:03,115 --> 00:28:06,779
I hear one more word of abuse
about Ben, one more insult,
515
00:28:06,852 --> 00:28:10,311
and I'll never let him near that
crummy magazine of yours again.
516
00:28:10,389 --> 00:28:13,655
Now, look here, Richards, relax!
517
00:28:15,360 --> 00:28:18,762
Yes, now, you listen to me,
chum. Ben Forman is one...
518
00:28:18,830 --> 00:28:22,597
Is the finest young
writer I've ever seen.
519
00:28:22,668 --> 00:28:26,901
Yes, and as far as his
being a wimp or dishonest,
520
00:28:26,972 --> 00:28:29,737
you, sir, don't know
the first thing about him.
521
00:28:32,477 --> 00:28:36,175
You, sir, don't even have enough
class to crank up his computer.
522
00:28:37,950 --> 00:28:40,920
It finally just added up, Ben.
523
00:28:40,986 --> 00:28:44,980
I made a guess that you forwarded
Gary Mannion's phone calls
524
00:28:45,057 --> 00:28:48,027
to an unlisted number
in your apartment.
525
00:28:48,093 --> 00:28:49,504
And when none of
the airlines showed
526
00:28:49,528 --> 00:28:51,292
any reservations in
Mr. Mannion's name,
527
00:28:51,363 --> 00:28:53,423
Mrs. Fletcher said
we should try yours.
528
00:28:54,366 --> 00:28:56,597
Midtown traffic
this time of the day,
529
00:28:56,668 --> 00:28:59,069
you wouldn't have made
it to the airport, anyway.
530
00:29:00,305 --> 00:29:02,900
Well, it worked for a while.
- Yeah.
531
00:29:03,208 --> 00:29:04,938
Mr. Forman,
532
00:29:05,010 --> 00:29:08,276
I'm placing you under arrest
for the murder of Harrison Kane.
533
00:29:17,256 --> 00:29:20,590
Those first couple of years, they
were really tough, Jessica, you know?
534
00:29:20,659 --> 00:29:22,287
Being shy didn't help.
535
00:29:22,361 --> 00:29:27,493
Oh, I know, the rejections. It really helps
to grow a thick layer of elephant hide.
536
00:29:27,566 --> 00:29:31,059
Tell me. The editors, if
they would talk to me at all,
537
00:29:31,136 --> 00:29:32,661
they would ask me
if I had an agent.
538
00:29:32,738 --> 00:29:34,104
I would say no,
and they would say,
539
00:29:34,172 --> 00:29:35,450
"Well, we really don't
want to see your work
540
00:29:35,474 --> 00:29:36,965
"unless it comes from an agent."
541
00:29:37,042 --> 00:29:39,687
And then the agents would say,
"Call me when you've sold something."
542
00:29:39,711 --> 00:29:41,373
It made me nuts.
543
00:29:41,446 --> 00:29:44,348
And then you reread
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
544
00:29:44,416 --> 00:29:46,078
That's where it came from.
545
00:29:46,151 --> 00:29:49,679
I created Gary Mannion to
be everything that I wasn't.
546
00:29:49,788 --> 00:29:52,189
Sophisticated, arrogant, tough.
547
00:29:52,257 --> 00:29:53,748
The guy in the photo.
548
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:56,919
My Uncle Max.
549
00:29:58,030 --> 00:30:01,626
Anyway, little by little, it
began to work, and he...
550
00:30:02,401 --> 00:30:06,338
I began to get me assignments.
That was the good part.
551
00:30:06,405 --> 00:30:09,170
I suspect I saw some of
the bad a little while ago.
552
00:30:09,241 --> 00:30:14,475
Yeah. When people didn't
like me or my work or both,
553
00:30:14,546 --> 00:30:17,778
Gary Mannion would have to
listen to them dump all over me.
554
00:30:18,684 --> 00:30:20,084
It wasn't a lot of fun.
555
00:30:22,688 --> 00:30:25,749
Anyway, none of that
matters much anymore.
556
00:30:25,824 --> 00:30:27,554
Okay. I'm afraid to tell you,
557
00:30:27,626 --> 00:30:29,506
we matched your prints
against the liquor glass,
558
00:30:29,561 --> 00:30:31,189
the bourbon bottle
and the murder weapon.
559
00:30:31,263 --> 00:30:33,164
The hair dryer?
560
00:30:33,231 --> 00:30:34,776
So you may as well
give us a confession.
561
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,326
But, Artie, what
about the motive?
562
00:30:37,402 --> 00:30:39,928
A beauty. Kane was peddling
Mr. Forman's screenplay...
563
00:30:40,005 --> 00:30:41,871
Without owning the rights to it?
564
00:30:41,940 --> 00:30:44,774
You got it, Jessica. Besides
which, we have eyewitnesses
565
00:30:44,843 --> 00:30:47,779
that place Ben at Kane's door
around the time of the murder.
566
00:30:49,147 --> 00:30:51,275
Ben, for what it's worth,
567
00:30:51,350 --> 00:30:55,446
I urge you not to talk to anybody
until you've spoken to your attorney.
568
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:57,853
Thank you, Mrs. Fletcher,
but there's no point.
569
00:30:59,124 --> 00:31:01,389
Lieutenant, I'm ready
to sign a confession.
570
00:31:02,994 --> 00:31:05,896
Hey, with that charade he
pulled, that phantom agent and all,
571
00:31:05,964 --> 00:31:07,557
any halfway competent lawyer
572
00:31:07,632 --> 00:31:10,329
should be able to get him off
with a diminished-capacity plea.
573
00:31:10,402 --> 00:31:12,268
Aw, Jessica, come on, he did it.
574
00:31:12,337 --> 00:31:14,397
Look, Artie, I
can't believe that.
575
00:31:14,473 --> 00:31:17,807
Jessica, I have to be on the
thruway with Doris in an hour
576
00:31:17,876 --> 00:31:19,921
or my marriage is in the
dumper, so please don't start in.
577
00:31:19,945 --> 00:31:22,710
Now, listen to me, Artie. I mean,
this just doesn't make any sense.
578
00:31:22,781 --> 00:31:26,240
I mean, why would Ben plant
evidence pointing to Gary Mannion
579
00:31:26,318 --> 00:31:28,118
when he knows it would
come right back to him?
580
00:31:28,153 --> 00:31:30,679
He told us why, he's
trying to buy more time.
581
00:31:30,756 --> 00:31:32,918
Well, then why didn't
he leave town last night?
582
00:31:32,991 --> 00:31:36,621
No, I'm sorry, but that
can't be the reason.
583
00:31:36,695 --> 00:31:39,824
But I think I have an
idea what might be.
584
00:31:41,533 --> 00:31:45,300
Doris, you had to tell me, "Artie,
don't retire. It'll make you meshugge."
585
00:31:46,438 --> 00:31:48,737
You do look sensational today.
586
00:31:50,409 --> 00:31:54,107
Darling, why am I getting the feeling
that you're finally coming to the point?
587
00:31:54,179 --> 00:31:55,909
Because I am.
588
00:31:56,515 --> 00:31:59,883
Do you remember that interim
financing that I was so sure of?
589
00:32:00,252 --> 00:32:01,345
Mmm-hmm.
590
00:32:01,420 --> 00:32:03,480
Well, it isn't going to happen.
591
00:32:03,555 --> 00:32:06,081
And the bank is
going to pull the plug.
592
00:32:06,158 --> 00:32:08,093
How much are we talking about?
593
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:11,255
Oh, just 20,000.
594
00:32:11,329 --> 00:32:13,855
Kathryn, I hate asking you,
595
00:32:13,932 --> 00:32:19,371
and I may not be able to pay you back
for six months, maybe a year, maybe...
596
00:32:19,438 --> 00:32:22,772
Excuse me. Hi, Miss Scofield.
597
00:32:23,241 --> 00:32:26,734
Dean, I just want you to know that
we went to press five minutes ago
598
00:32:26,812 --> 00:32:29,441
with Ben Forman's profile
of J.B. Fletcher in place.
599
00:32:29,514 --> 00:32:31,506
Oh, that's wonderful.
600
00:32:31,583 --> 00:32:33,745
And, by the way,
it's awfully good.
601
00:32:39,191 --> 00:32:40,591
Well, I better be getting back.
602
00:32:40,659 --> 00:32:42,389
Uh, thank you, Ellen.
603
00:32:46,264 --> 00:32:47,596
I'll think about it.
604
00:32:49,534 --> 00:32:53,027
The truth is, Ben is in a great
deal of trouble, Miss Peters.
605
00:32:53,104 --> 00:32:54,936
Look, Mrs. Fletcher,
no offense, right,
606
00:32:55,006 --> 00:32:56,451
but she doesn't have
time for this right now.
607
00:32:56,475 --> 00:32:57,475
What he means is...
608
00:32:57,542 --> 00:32:59,320
What I mean is, that you
gotta learn this role for tonight.
609
00:32:59,344 --> 00:33:01,040
Oh, it's only a
walk-on, Mrs. Fletcher.
610
00:33:01,112 --> 00:33:03,558
Yes, it's only a walk-on, but it
could lead to something important.
611
00:33:03,582 --> 00:33:06,245
Mr. Wolski, this happens
to be very important,
612
00:33:06,318 --> 00:33:08,617
and I promise it will
only take a moment.
613
00:33:09,054 --> 00:33:13,082
I just want to know if your interview
last night was with Harrison Kane.
614
00:33:13,158 --> 00:33:15,218
Wait, wait, that
producer that got killed?
615
00:33:15,293 --> 00:33:17,057
No, Mrs. Fletcher.
616
00:33:17,128 --> 00:33:18,892
Now, Abby, are you denying it
617
00:33:18,964 --> 00:33:22,332
because you're afraid you'll
be accused of killing Mr. Kane?
618
00:33:23,401 --> 00:33:27,634
I have a hunch that Ben
Forman believes that you did it.
619
00:33:27,706 --> 00:33:29,038
Ben thinks that?
620
00:33:29,107 --> 00:33:33,101
Would he have any reason to
think that? Perhaps self-defense?
621
00:33:33,178 --> 00:33:34,455
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Time out, here.
622
00:33:34,479 --> 00:33:36,457
What the hell are you
talking about, Mrs. Fletcher?
623
00:33:36,481 --> 00:33:38,355
I'm talking about the
reason Ben seems so
624
00:33:38,379 --> 00:33:40,509
willing to admit that
he killed Harrison Kane,
625
00:33:40,585 --> 00:33:43,953
and why he planted evidence
implicating Gary Mannion.
626
00:33:44,022 --> 00:33:45,354
To protect Abby.
627
00:33:45,423 --> 00:33:47,449
Oh, come on, this
is completely crazy.
628
00:33:47,526 --> 00:33:48,569
Look, like I told you
before, we don't...
629
00:33:48,593 --> 00:33:49,754
Dave, stop!
630
00:33:49,828 --> 00:33:50,972
Is there somewhere
that we could...
631
00:33:50,996 --> 00:33:52,328
Why don't we sit down?
632
00:33:52,397 --> 00:33:53,490
Very well.
633
00:33:57,435 --> 00:34:00,599
Now, why would
Ben try to protect me?
634
00:34:01,106 --> 00:34:03,166
I could be mistaken, Abby,
635
00:34:03,842 --> 00:34:08,007
but I have a feeling that Ben
cares a great deal about you.
636
00:34:10,849 --> 00:34:14,183
Were you in Harrison
Kane's hotel suite last night?
637
00:34:29,234 --> 00:34:31,601
Carter, you scared
the hell out of me.
638
00:34:32,871 --> 00:34:33,895
The pictures, Hans.
639
00:34:33,972 --> 00:34:35,133
I haven't got them.
640
00:34:35,206 --> 00:34:39,200
Don't jerk me around,
Hans. I want what I paid for.
641
00:34:39,277 --> 00:34:43,009
And I hope to God for once you
remember that you weren't paid for art,
642
00:34:43,081 --> 00:34:47,212
only for shots of Kathryn Scofield
in the sack with Harrison Kane.
643
00:34:47,786 --> 00:34:49,618
Now, come on, give
them to me, Hans.
644
00:34:49,688 --> 00:34:52,466
It's important that I show them to
Dean before he does something stupid,
645
00:34:52,490 --> 00:34:54,220
like commit to the lady.
646
00:34:54,292 --> 00:34:57,626
Oh, come on, Hans, face it,
you're a whore just like she is.
647
00:34:58,997 --> 00:35:01,398
That's precisely the
way they made me feel.
648
00:35:01,466 --> 00:35:04,163
Which is why I burned
them. Now, get out!
649
00:35:04,769 --> 00:35:09,002
The shouting, the loud noises. He
was coming after you, wasn't he?
650
00:35:09,074 --> 00:35:13,512
Well, it got kind of scary, but, Ben,
he was alive when I ran out of there.
651
00:35:13,578 --> 00:35:15,308
Ben, Abby is telling the truth.
652
00:35:15,380 --> 00:35:18,326
But it couldn't have been five minutes
after you left that I found him dead.
653
00:35:18,350 --> 00:35:21,809
Look, it was so sweet
of you to... All of this...
654
00:35:21,886 --> 00:35:23,946
I had no idea that
you felt this way.
655
00:35:25,190 --> 00:35:27,284
Mrs. Fletcher picked
up on it just like that.
656
00:35:27,359 --> 00:35:32,696
But I guess maybe because I was
so caught up in trying to make it...
657
00:35:32,764 --> 00:35:34,960
Hey, Abby.
658
00:35:36,368 --> 00:35:39,702
In case you hadn't noticed, I'm
not all that terrific at this myself.
659
00:35:40,538 --> 00:35:45,135
Listen, I'm sorry that I lied to you,
you know, about Gary Mannion.
660
00:35:45,210 --> 00:35:47,839
Ben, my God, that was brilliant.
661
00:35:47,912 --> 00:35:50,381
Ben, try to describe
what you remember
662
00:35:50,448 --> 00:35:52,781
after you entered
Mr. Kane's suite.
663
00:35:52,851 --> 00:35:53,961
Well, that won't
be too difficult.
664
00:35:53,985 --> 00:35:55,681
It's not something
I'm ever gonna forget.
665
00:35:56,788 --> 00:36:00,225
Uh, Mr. Kane? Mr. Kane?
666
00:36:00,291 --> 00:36:03,022
I called out his name,
and there was no answer.
667
00:36:05,030 --> 00:36:06,240
All I could think of
was letting him know
668
00:36:06,264 --> 00:36:08,631
what I thought of him
for hitting on Abby.
669
00:36:08,700 --> 00:36:09,944
By the time I got
to the bathroom,
670
00:36:09,968 --> 00:36:12,767
I was ready to tell him he
couldn't have my script, either.
671
00:36:12,837 --> 00:36:15,830
Then I found him.
I was panicked.
672
00:36:15,907 --> 00:36:17,993
All I kept thinking was
that Abby had killed
673
00:36:18,017 --> 00:36:19,935
him, and that I had
to cover up for her.
674
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,145
That's when I decided to
blame it on Gary Mannion.
675
00:36:24,215 --> 00:36:27,344
So you cleaned up any evidence
that Abby had been there.
676
00:36:27,419 --> 00:36:29,945
Yeah. Her pictures,
any fingerprints.
677
00:36:30,021 --> 00:36:32,149
And I left as many of Gary...
678
00:36:33,792 --> 00:36:36,318
Of my own, as I could.
679
00:36:36,795 --> 00:36:38,229
You know, like
on the hair dryer.
680
00:36:38,296 --> 00:36:40,356
And on the bourbon
bottle and the glass?
681
00:36:40,432 --> 00:36:41,661
Yeah.
682
00:36:44,836 --> 00:36:47,806
One thing I'm not gonna miss
is smoking those cigars of his.
683
00:36:49,941 --> 00:36:51,876
I finally broke loose
and shoved him away
684
00:36:51,943 --> 00:36:55,004
and just ran out of the
hotel and took a taxi home.
685
00:36:56,481 --> 00:36:57,881
Nothing else?
686
00:36:59,684 --> 00:37:02,381
That's about all
of it, Lieutenant.
687
00:37:02,454 --> 00:37:05,083
I have to admit,
that's a hell of a story.
688
00:37:05,156 --> 00:37:07,557
We always knew there
was a mystery woman.
689
00:37:07,625 --> 00:37:08,836
We just never knew who she was.
690
00:37:08,860 --> 00:37:12,991
Miss Peters absolutely fits the
description of several of the eyewitnesses
691
00:37:13,064 --> 00:37:14,308
who saw her running
out of the hotel.
692
00:37:14,332 --> 00:37:17,825
Jessica, I can't tell
you how happy I am
693
00:37:17,902 --> 00:37:19,632
that you convinced
her to come forward.
694
00:37:19,704 --> 00:37:23,835
Well, believe me, Artie, I wasn't
all that sure it would work out.
695
00:37:24,542 --> 00:37:27,205
And I figure in two minutes from
now, when we fingerprint you,
696
00:37:27,278 --> 00:37:30,248
we're gonna come up with a match
for the only yet unidentified print
697
00:37:30,315 --> 00:37:31,681
in the victim's suite.
698
00:37:31,750 --> 00:37:34,015
And then we'll be able to
nail the case on Ben Forman.
699
00:37:34,152 --> 00:37:36,831
But... You told him
what Kane did to you.
700
00:37:36,855 --> 00:37:40,223
Forman goes up there to avenge
your honor and kills the guy.
701
00:37:40,291 --> 00:37:42,817
And my Doris doesn't
do the same to me.
702
00:38:22,133 --> 00:38:25,160
Did I tell you, Doris? I'll
pick you up in 22 minutes.
703
00:38:25,236 --> 00:38:26,670
Good. Ciao.
704
00:38:44,823 --> 00:38:48,385
Gelber. Jessica, I can't
talk to you right now.
705
00:38:49,294 --> 00:38:51,695
You want me to what?
Run a financial check?
706
00:38:51,763 --> 00:38:55,222
And meet me at Abby
Peters' apartment.
707
00:38:55,300 --> 00:38:56,324
Jessica!
708
00:38:56,401 --> 00:38:59,064
Oh, and you can ask Abby a
couple of questions before you leave.
709
00:38:59,137 --> 00:39:01,834
Jessica, the case is closed.
Besides which, Doris...
710
00:39:01,906 --> 00:39:03,932
What we need to
know for starters is
711
00:39:04,008 --> 00:39:06,409
would she happen to
be personally acquainted
712
00:39:06,477 --> 00:39:09,572
with a photographer
named Hans Dietrich?
713
00:39:12,116 --> 00:39:14,142
Artie, I promise
this won't take long.
714
00:39:14,219 --> 00:39:15,915
It can't take long.
715
00:39:16,554 --> 00:39:17,681
Here.
716
00:39:17,755 --> 00:39:18,984
Here it is. So?
717
00:39:19,057 --> 00:39:20,337
Well, look at the mailing label.
718
00:39:20,391 --> 00:39:23,850
So, it's addressed to the
photographer. Jessica, I don't get it.
719
00:39:23,928 --> 00:39:28,764
Well, don't you see? Abby told you
that she didn't know this Dietrich fellow.
720
00:39:28,867 --> 00:39:32,326
Yeah, right, she claims she picked
this up in Harrison Kane's hotel room.
721
00:39:32,403 --> 00:39:34,872
Look, Kane can't tell us
where he got it, obviously.
722
00:39:34,939 --> 00:39:37,636
Not that it would make much
of a difference. It means nothing.
723
00:39:37,709 --> 00:39:40,178
No, Artie, it means
that we can prove
724
00:39:40,245 --> 00:39:44,478
that neither Ben Forman nor
Abby Peters murdered Mr. Kane.
725
00:39:47,485 --> 00:39:50,683
I'm just amazed how the advanced
copies turned the bankers around.
726
00:39:50,755 --> 00:39:52,383
Well, I'm so pleased
for you, Dean.
727
00:39:52,457 --> 00:39:54,892
And another 90 days
to pay off our loans.
728
00:39:54,959 --> 00:39:58,020
This means we are
almost out of the woods.
729
00:39:58,096 --> 00:40:01,141
Well, I can't believe that my presence
in Follies had anything to do with that.
730
00:40:01,165 --> 00:40:03,259
Well, not by itself, obviously,
731
00:40:03,334 --> 00:40:07,965
but, Jessica, you really do
underestimate the public's interest in you.
732
00:40:08,039 --> 00:40:10,736
You represent
something very special.
733
00:40:10,808 --> 00:40:14,006
I hope you're right about Ben's
innocence. And the young woman's.
734
00:40:14,078 --> 00:40:18,482
I am so sorry I missed dinner. The ad
agency people couldn't make up their minds,
735
00:40:18,549 --> 00:40:20,814
so we kept shooting
take after take.
736
00:40:20,885 --> 00:40:22,563
Jessica, thank you for
keeping him entertained.
737
00:40:22,587 --> 00:40:25,056
Oh, it was my pleasure, Kathryn.
738
00:40:25,323 --> 00:40:29,556
Look, as I was saying, Abby's
the one that I'm really worried about.
739
00:40:29,627 --> 00:40:32,688
I mean, the evidence is
really piling up against her,
740
00:40:32,764 --> 00:40:37,065
and the police now feel that
robbery may have been the motive.
741
00:40:37,602 --> 00:40:38,661
Robbery?
742
00:40:38,736 --> 00:40:41,296
Well, it's all a little vague.
743
00:40:41,372 --> 00:40:43,273
But, according to
my friend in Homicide,
744
00:40:43,341 --> 00:40:46,937
they're planning to go over Abby's
apartment very, very carefully tomorrow,
745
00:40:47,011 --> 00:40:48,809
and they expect to
find some of the items
746
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:52,317
that apparently were missing
from Mr. Kane's hotel suite.
747
00:40:52,383 --> 00:40:55,581
At any rate, I hope you two
have a lovely time this evening.
748
00:40:55,653 --> 00:40:57,281
I wish you could
join us at the theater.
749
00:40:57,355 --> 00:41:00,086
Oh, forget about it.
She is a driven woman.
750
00:41:00,158 --> 00:41:02,457
She can't bear to be
away from her computer.
751
00:41:02,527 --> 00:41:05,827
If we hurry, we just
may make the curtain.
752
00:41:30,488 --> 00:41:32,480
Jessica, what are
you doing here?
753
00:41:32,557 --> 00:41:35,959
I think you know what, Kathryn.
You murdered Harrison Kane.
754
00:41:36,027 --> 00:41:37,188
That's ridiculous.
755
00:41:37,261 --> 00:41:40,163
Well, then perhaps you
can explain why you're here?
756
00:41:40,231 --> 00:41:43,133
I thought that I had forgotten
something the last time I was here.
757
00:41:43,201 --> 00:41:45,033
You've never been
here before, Kathryn.
758
00:41:45,103 --> 00:41:47,299
But you forgot
something, all right.
759
00:41:47,372 --> 00:41:50,069
The magazine you took
from Hans Dietrich's studio
760
00:41:50,141 --> 00:41:52,770
and inadvertently
left in Mr. Kane's suite.
761
00:41:52,844 --> 00:41:55,575
And later, Miss Peters
borrowed the magazine from Kane
762
00:41:55,646 --> 00:41:56,807
and brought it home with her.
763
00:41:56,881 --> 00:41:59,112
That doesn't mean
that I murdered anyone.
764
00:41:59,183 --> 00:42:02,847
Maybe not by itself, but that
magazine alone isn't the only thing
765
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:04,431
that can prove you
were in Mr. Kane's suite.
766
00:42:04,455 --> 00:42:07,118
We kind of leaned on
your pal, Mr. Dietrich.
767
00:42:07,191 --> 00:42:10,457
It seems he took some pretty intimate
photographs of you and Mr. Kane.
768
00:42:10,528 --> 00:42:13,828
Also, the fact that you bought
the story that I told Dean
769
00:42:13,898 --> 00:42:16,766
obviously jogged your
memory about the magazine,
770
00:42:16,834 --> 00:42:18,779
and you realized it could
be traced to Hans Dietrich,
771
00:42:18,803 --> 00:42:22,899
and then, of course, back to you,
so you came down here to retrieve it.
772
00:42:22,974 --> 00:42:26,138
And that should be enough
to convince a jury of your guilt.
773
00:42:26,210 --> 00:42:29,339
Plus, I expect when we search
your belongings, Miss Scofield,
774
00:42:29,414 --> 00:42:33,715
we'll find the missing key that gave
you access to the victim's hotel rooms.
775
00:42:38,923 --> 00:42:40,983
I killed him.
776
00:42:41,826 --> 00:42:43,852
Doris, Doris, 30 minutes, okay?
777
00:42:43,928 --> 00:42:47,365
We'll be up there in time for a nightcap
with Lorraine and what's his name.
778
00:42:47,432 --> 00:42:50,368
Ernie, right. Anyway, gotta go.
779
00:42:50,435 --> 00:42:52,836
Excuse the interruption.
Go on, Jessica.
780
00:42:52,904 --> 00:42:56,807
As I was saying, Lieutenant
Gelber ran a check on your finances.
781
00:42:56,874 --> 00:42:59,639
And he discovered the
money I'd advanced to Harrison.
782
00:42:59,710 --> 00:43:01,372
Half a million dollars.
783
00:43:01,446 --> 00:43:04,143
Some parts of town, those
are still considered big bucks.
784
00:43:04,215 --> 00:43:05,740
I was hoping it
would help ensure
785
00:43:05,817 --> 00:43:07,513
getting his movie
off the ground.
786
00:43:07,585 --> 00:43:09,144
With you as the female lead?
787
00:43:09,220 --> 00:43:10,449
I wanted a new life.
788
00:43:10,521 --> 00:43:13,047
Something more challenging
than modeling the latest eye shadow
789
00:43:13,124 --> 00:43:14,717
or the newest lip gloss.
790
00:43:14,792 --> 00:43:16,886
That got old a long time ago.
791
00:43:17,962 --> 00:43:21,126
I forgot that damn magazine
after Harrison and I had made love.
792
00:43:21,199 --> 00:43:23,335
But then you
discovered that he was
793
00:43:23,359 --> 00:43:26,137
insolvent, that he was
all smoke and mirrors.
794
00:43:26,671 --> 00:43:29,334
Not only wouldn't I
have a new career,
795
00:43:29,407 --> 00:43:31,205
I would never see
my money again.
796
00:43:32,310 --> 00:43:35,712
I felt used, betrayed
and swindled.
797
00:43:35,780 --> 00:43:39,080
So, last night, you went
up to his suite and killed him.
798
00:43:39,150 --> 00:43:40,709
He was out.
799
00:43:40,785 --> 00:43:42,151
I let myself in
with the other key
800
00:43:42,220 --> 00:43:45,099
and cleaned up anything I could think
of that might have indicated I was there.
801
00:43:45,123 --> 00:43:47,024
Except that you
forgot the magazine.
802
00:43:48,426 --> 00:43:51,988
Then when I heard him coming in
with someone else, I hid in a closet.
803
00:43:52,063 --> 00:43:53,895
It was that little actress.
804
00:43:53,965 --> 00:43:55,593
Abby Peters.
805
00:43:56,033 --> 00:43:58,696
From where I was hiding, I saw
her put the magazine in her bag.
806
00:43:58,769 --> 00:44:00,362
I didn't think it would matter.
807
00:44:00,905 --> 00:44:02,725
Anyway, a few
minutes later, he made a
808
00:44:02,749 --> 00:44:04,933
clumsy pass at her,
and she was out of there.
809
00:44:06,511 --> 00:44:08,742
Then I heard him
filling the bathtub.
810
00:44:23,794 --> 00:44:25,387
Mr. Kane?
811
00:44:37,675 --> 00:44:41,112
Jessica, I still don't understand
how you knew about the magazine.
812
00:44:41,179 --> 00:44:45,310
Well, when I realized that you'd worked
with that photographer, Hans Dietrich,
813
00:44:45,383 --> 00:44:48,182
I recalled having
seen the mailing label
814
00:44:48,252 --> 00:44:51,950
on the magazine in Abby's
apartment with his name on it,
815
00:44:52,023 --> 00:44:56,586
and I asked Lieutenant Gelber to ask
her if she knew him or where she'd got it.
816
00:44:56,694 --> 00:44:58,940
She never heard of the
guy, but she remembered
817
00:44:58,964 --> 00:45:00,790
taking the magazine
from Kane's room.
818
00:45:00,865 --> 00:45:02,800
We checked Kane's
appointment book.
819
00:45:02,867 --> 00:45:03,994
He never met with Dietrich.
820
00:45:04,068 --> 00:45:08,665
And then it became a question of how
did the magazine get into Mr. Kane's suite?
821
00:45:09,407 --> 00:45:11,740
It seemed possible that it
might have been from you.
822
00:45:11,809 --> 00:45:13,787
That's when we ran a
search on your bank records
823
00:45:13,811 --> 00:45:17,179
and found those big
withdrawals from the mutual funds
824
00:45:17,715 --> 00:45:19,684
and the checks
you wrote to Kane.
825
00:45:19,750 --> 00:45:21,719
I was counting on
a couple of things.
826
00:45:21,786 --> 00:45:24,415
First, that you'd seen
Abby take the magazine,
827
00:45:24,488 --> 00:45:27,117
and second, that
you'd buy my story
828
00:45:27,191 --> 00:45:30,025
about the police intending
to search her apartment.
829
00:45:30,094 --> 00:45:31,094
It worked.
830
00:45:31,162 --> 00:45:34,291
I knew I had to retrieve it. It
had my fingerprints all over it.
831
00:45:36,434 --> 00:45:40,098
I don't regret killing
Harrison Kane. Not at all.
832
00:45:40,938 --> 00:45:42,463
He was a pig.
833
00:45:43,674 --> 00:45:45,154
Oh, that's wonderful, Richie.
834
00:45:45,209 --> 00:45:47,906
Will you have them
come right up? Thanks.
835
00:45:49,347 --> 00:45:52,146
That must have been
awfully painful for you, Dean.
836
00:45:52,216 --> 00:45:54,048
I'm glad that you're
taking it so well.
837
00:45:54,118 --> 00:45:57,452
Oh, please, please, it could have been
much worse. I could have married her.
838
00:45:57,521 --> 00:46:00,855
Jessica, you not only caught the
murderer, but you saved me from myself,
839
00:46:00,925 --> 00:46:04,487
and for that, I am
forever in your debt.
840
00:46:04,562 --> 00:46:06,827
Good. I'll let you know
when I'm ready to collect.
841
00:46:07,965 --> 00:46:10,177
Well, actually, I was hoping
you would accept partial payment
842
00:46:10,201 --> 00:46:12,727
by having dinner with
Ellen Harper and me.
843
00:46:12,803 --> 00:46:14,431
Well, how nice. Thank you.
844
00:46:20,478 --> 00:46:22,106
Ah, Abby, Ben. Come on in. Hi.
845
00:46:22,179 --> 00:46:24,239
Hi, Jessica. Hi, Dean.
846
00:46:24,315 --> 00:46:25,943
Look, we can only stay a minute.
847
00:46:26,017 --> 00:46:28,816
We're going on sort
of a working vacation.
848
00:46:28,886 --> 00:46:30,252
Sounds interesting.
849
00:46:30,321 --> 00:46:32,984
He just got this terrific
assignment from Follies.
850
00:46:33,057 --> 00:46:36,255
Mmm-hmm. And try to get
it in on time, for a change.
851
00:46:36,327 --> 00:46:38,447
Hey, oh, and Abby's going
to be doing this great role,
852
00:46:38,496 --> 00:46:41,091
a real plum, at this little
theater in Connecticut.
853
00:46:41,165 --> 00:46:44,897
Oh, well, I certainly hope that Gary
Mannion isn't negotiating your deal.
854
00:46:44,969 --> 00:46:47,370
We've severed that relationship.
855
00:46:47,471 --> 00:46:49,030
Ben is my manager now.
856
00:46:49,106 --> 00:46:52,975
Oh, and you should hear him on the phone,
Mrs. Fletcher. He is a regular killer.
857
00:46:53,044 --> 00:46:54,068
Yeah.
