Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,492
- Now look here,
you burned out has-been- - Burned out has-been?
2
00:00:03,570 --> 00:00:05,765
[Woman]Tonight on Murder, She Wrote.
3
00:00:05,839 --> 00:00:09,240
- What was it, an accident or what?
- I always thought somebody would murder him.
4
00:00:09,309 --> 00:00:11,106
It, uh, could have been murder.
5
00:00:11,178 --> 00:00:14,409
French fries are not
a part of your diet. Don't you dare.
6
00:00:14,481 --> 00:00:17,382
No, but you'd rather
poison me with chipped beef and tapioca pudding.
7
00:00:17,451 --> 00:00:19,544
I read that article the Sentinel
printed about you.
8
00:00:19,620 --> 00:00:22,180
The cops better get ahold of this guy
before I get my hands on him.
9
00:00:22,256 --> 00:00:25,191
The search for the real Lamar Bennett
and who killed him.
10
00:00:25,259 --> 00:00:27,591
That's our hook.
Our hook?
11
00:01:56,283 --> 00:01:59,252
I don't care that she's a dipso
with 33 cats...
12
00:01:59,319 --> 00:02:01,310
and hasn't bathed in four months.
13
00:02:01,388 --> 00:02:04,824
What I wanna read about is
she's a sweet old widowed grandmother...
14
00:02:04,892 --> 00:02:06,826
whose greedy landlord
kicked her out.
15
00:02:06,894 --> 00:02:10,295
[Phone Rings]
16
00:02:11,532 --> 00:02:14,524
[Chattering]
17
00:02:25,245 --> 00:02:29,409
Billy, I can't believethat you would pull this on me.
18
00:02:29,483 --> 00:02:32,179
Now if I knew that you were
gonna trash my copy-
19
00:02:32,252 --> 00:02:35,949
Now you can't tell me thatyou-you-you wrote this tripe?
20
00:02:36,957 --> 00:02:38,891
No, I rewrote your piece.
21
00:02:38,959 --> 00:02:41,826
This is a morning paper,Mr. Drake.
22
00:02:41,895 --> 00:02:44,159
And I feel a certain responsibility...
23
00:02:44,231 --> 00:02:48,395
to avoid sending our readers
back to sleep.
24
00:02:48,468 --> 00:02:51,767
[Drake]That happened to bea superbly handled interview, pally,
25
00:02:51,838 --> 00:02:55,399
until your people turned it into
supermarket-checkout garbage.
26
00:02:55,475 --> 00:02:59,172
- I'm sorry about this, Mr. Bennett.
- Bennett? Bennett?
27
00:02:59,246 --> 00:03:02,147
You're the guy who gobbled up
a dozen honest newspapers...
28
00:03:02,216 --> 00:03:05,447
- and turned 'em into wastebasket filler.
- Good-bye, Mr. Drake.
29
00:03:05,519 --> 00:03:08,215
Well, I'm not leavin',
Bennett.
30
00:03:08,288 --> 00:03:12,520
Not until you guarantee me
an apology to the lady and in print.
31
00:03:12,593 --> 00:03:14,686
Now look here,
you burned out has-been.
32
00:03:14,761 --> 00:03:17,753
The only reason you got paidfor that drivel...
33
00:03:17,831 --> 00:03:20,425
was because Billy here talked me
into throwing you a bone.
34
00:03:20,500 --> 00:03:23,560
Burned out has-been-
been-
35
00:03:23,637 --> 00:03:25,366
[Gasping]
36
00:03:28,008 --> 00:03:30,533
Sally, get me an ambulance. Quick.
37
00:03:32,479 --> 00:03:36,210
- Is he still breathing?
- Yeah, barely.
38
00:03:36,283 --> 00:03:38,717
Get a photographer in here.
I want some pictures.
39
00:03:41,288 --> 00:03:44,223
[Man]A coronary as massive as thisat his age is bad enough,
40
00:03:44,291 --> 00:03:47,226
but he seems to have lost
the will to live.
41
00:03:47,294 --> 00:03:52,596
It's unbelievable.
Three weeks ago, he was as feisty and cantankerous as ever.
42
00:03:52,666 --> 00:03:56,864
[Phone Rings]
Keep it brief, Mrs. Fletcher, and calm.
43
00:03:56,937 --> 00:04:00,202
Any excitement could
bring on another attack. Yeah.
44
00:04:02,876 --> 00:04:05,276
[Monitor Beeping]
45
00:04:13,587 --> 00:04:15,851
Hello, Haskell.
46
00:04:17,157 --> 00:04:19,125
Hey. Huh.
47
00:04:20,193 --> 00:04:22,661
What do you say there,
kiddo? [Inhales]
48
00:04:25,565 --> 00:04:28,295
[Sobs]
49
00:04:28,368 --> 00:04:33,328
What are you doing here?
You shouldn't be seein' me like this.
50
00:04:33,407 --> 00:04:36,535
You always look good to me.
Oh.
51
00:04:36,610 --> 00:04:38,601
The doctor tells me
you're doing very nicely.
52
00:04:38,679 --> 00:04:42,911
Oh, oh, oh.
Dr. Doom?
53
00:04:45,352 --> 00:04:50,312
He already has me ticketedon a one-way to Slumberland.
54
00:04:50,390 --> 00:04:55,123
No way. Another week and
you'll be out chasing another story.
55
00:04:57,297 --> 00:04:59,231
Not me, kiddo.
56
00:04:59,299 --> 00:05:03,497
[Inhales]
I couldn't afford to recover even if I wanted to.
57
00:05:03,570 --> 00:05:07,472
Now look.
We've known each other too long...
58
00:05:07,541 --> 00:05:10,635
and over too many years
to beat around the bush. Mmm.
59
00:05:10,711 --> 00:05:14,647
Now I'm gonna take care of this bill,
and as soon as you're feeling better,
60
00:05:14,715 --> 00:05:17,616
we're gonna move you
into a private room. Oh.
61
00:05:17,684 --> 00:05:22,178
No, no, Jessica.
I'm- I'm no charity case.
62
00:05:22,255 --> 00:05:25,850
Of course not.
You can pay me back out of your next assignment.
63
00:05:25,926 --> 00:05:28,622
Now, what can I bring you?
64
00:05:28,695 --> 00:05:30,822
[Beeping Intensifies]
65
00:05:30,897 --> 00:05:33,388
Bring me Lamar Bennett's headon a platter.
66
00:05:34,668 --> 00:05:39,731
You know, he-he butchered
that interview that I had with you.
67
00:05:39,806 --> 00:05:43,572
He called me a bum.
Haskell, hold on now.
68
00:05:43,643 --> 00:05:48,774
You know, the last thing I remember
before I passed out,
69
00:05:49,983 --> 00:05:53,282
he was askin' the photographer
to take some better shots.
70
00:05:53,353 --> 00:05:55,719
Oh, good Lord.
Yeah.
71
00:05:55,789 --> 00:05:57,723
And that's not all,
that's not all.
72
00:05:57,791 --> 00:05:59,782
Look, look what he did to you.
Look.
73
00:05:59,860 --> 00:06:02,988
Look what he did.
Hmm.
74
00:06:05,232 --> 00:06:08,395
That is ridiculous!
This-This was the Fourth ofJuly party,
75
00:06:08,468 --> 00:06:12,996
and I tripped over Howard Bigelow's
basket and spilled my cider. [Laughs]
76
00:06:14,374 --> 00:06:18,367
Haskell, Haskell,
I want you to just rest, all right?
77
00:06:18,445 --> 00:06:22,245
I've got an errand to run.
And I'll be back.
78
00:06:45,972 --> 00:06:48,338
[Bennett]A story about a 14-year-old...
79
00:06:48,408 --> 00:06:50,433
whose grandparents couldn't
take care of her?
80
00:06:50,510 --> 00:06:52,910
Who cares about that?
Miss Garrett-
81
00:06:52,979 --> 00:06:57,643
Do you mean to tell me
that that institution doesn't have any small children,
82
00:06:57,717 --> 00:07:00,185
kids who've been beaten
or abused? Of course they do.
83
00:07:00,253 --> 00:07:03,188
But that's another story,
not the one I want to write.
84
00:07:03,256 --> 00:07:07,352
L.B., I want Kay's story to run as is.
I'm sure you do, Walter,
85
00:07:07,427 --> 00:07:12,387
but happily for the Sentinel,
your position as editor emeritus...
86
00:07:12,466 --> 00:07:15,492
no longer entitles youto make those decisions.
87
00:07:15,569 --> 00:07:19,198
Now, on the other hand,
if you feel strongly about it,
88
00:07:19,272 --> 00:07:24,403
I would be delightedto finally accept your resignation.
89
00:07:24,478 --> 00:07:27,140
- Now, wait a minute.
- And your son's.
90
00:07:27,214 --> 00:07:31,116
Well, there's no way we'll give you
that satisfaction, Mr. Bennett, not in a hundred years.
91
00:07:31,184 --> 00:07:34,711
Uh, do I hear 150? Say, 200?
92
00:07:34,788 --> 00:07:38,019
[Woman]Please. You can't go in there.
93
00:07:38,091 --> 00:07:41,060
- I'm sorry, Mr. Bennett.
- That's quite all right, Edith.
94
00:07:41,127 --> 00:07:45,063
Mrs. Fletcher, I believe.Now this is a very rare privilege.
95
00:07:45,131 --> 00:07:48,157
Forgive the intrusion, Mr. Bennett.
This won't take much of your time.
96
00:07:48,235 --> 00:07:51,068
- You're here about the story.
- On the contrary, I'm-
97
00:07:51,137 --> 00:07:55,506
My dear lady, we have developeda certain style here at the Sentinel.
98
00:07:55,575 --> 00:07:59,238
One that depends less on facts
than a certain point of view.
99
00:07:59,312 --> 00:08:02,372
Mr. Bennett,
I'm here about Haskell Drake.
100
00:08:02,449 --> 00:08:05,816
I would prefer to
talk with you privately.
101
00:08:05,886 --> 00:08:08,252
Oh, I'm sorry.
I have to leave now.
102
00:08:08,321 --> 00:08:10,255
I'll be out of town tomorrow.
103
00:08:10,323 --> 00:08:14,419
Edith, would you try to book usa few minutes next week?
104
00:08:14,494 --> 00:08:17,657
[Sniffing]
Clyde, it's time for my medication.
105
00:08:17,731 --> 00:08:20,859
Mr. Bennett, Haskell may not
be alive next week.
106
00:08:20,934 --> 00:08:24,335
Stan, that basketball story
of yours just lays there.
107
00:08:24,404 --> 00:08:26,269
The, uh, water, please.
108
00:08:26,339 --> 00:08:28,330
The drug angle is just tired.It's tired.
109
00:08:28,408 --> 00:08:31,002
Now you find me somethingwith real heat.
110
00:08:31,077 --> 00:08:33,841
L.B., we've gotta talk about
this dental malpractice case.
111
00:08:33,914 --> 00:08:36,178
- Later.
- Mr. Bennett,
112
00:08:36,249 --> 00:08:38,547
this will only take a few minutes.
113
00:08:39,986 --> 00:08:42,147
Uh, Clyde.
[Snaps Fingers]
114
00:08:43,723 --> 00:08:48,626
Mrs. Fletcher, we're having
a little celebration this evening.
115
00:08:48,695 --> 00:08:53,632
Please, uh, come and join us.
We can talk then. Very nice meeting you.
116
00:08:53,700 --> 00:08:55,691
[Huffs]
117
00:08:55,769 --> 00:08:59,364
Mrs. Fletcher, I'm Kay Garrett.
How is Mr. Drake?
118
00:08:59,439 --> 00:09:01,964
- Not at all well, I'm afraid.
- I'm sorry.
119
00:09:02,042 --> 00:09:04,135
What you just saw in there?
Typical Lamar Bennett.
120
00:09:04,210 --> 00:09:06,201
Ah, give it up,
Kay, will you?
121
00:09:06,279 --> 00:09:08,213
Mrs. Fletcher,
Perry Revere. Hello.
122
00:09:08,281 --> 00:09:10,545
Look, babe, this situation
can't go on forever.
123
00:09:10,617 --> 00:09:13,415
Just into our sunset years.
124
00:09:13,486 --> 00:09:16,944
Perry, let's face it.I don't have yourinfinite capacity for pain.
125
00:09:18,091 --> 00:09:20,150
I'll see you at the banquet.
126
00:09:20,226 --> 00:09:24,754
I've gotta try and talk my dad
out of going, so he doesn't end up in the bed next to Haskell Drake.
127
00:09:24,831 --> 00:09:26,731
It was nice meeting you,
Mrs. Fletcher.
128
00:09:27,968 --> 00:09:30,232
He's right.
Nobody wins with Bennett.
129
00:09:30,303 --> 00:09:32,237
But I keep hoping.
130
00:09:37,410 --> 00:09:40,902
[Chuckles]
The truth is, if I hadn't stepped in when I did...
131
00:09:40,981 --> 00:09:45,042
half the people in this room here
would be on unemployment. [Chuckles]
132
00:09:46,886 --> 00:09:50,583
His game plan isn't pretty,
but the guy knows how to put points on the scoreboard.
133
00:09:50,657 --> 00:09:53,091
Yes, and like so many others...
134
00:09:53,159 --> 00:09:58,961
you continue to play for him, right?
Sports writing's all I know, Mrs. Fletcher.
135
00:09:59,032 --> 00:10:02,331
Besides, integrity doesn't
buy a whole lotta pastrami.
136
00:10:02,402 --> 00:10:04,734
Good evening.
Good evening.
137
00:10:04,804 --> 00:10:06,795
Hello, Kay.
Excuse me.
138
00:10:09,409 --> 00:10:12,105
Come on now.
What is with these long faces?
139
00:10:12,178 --> 00:10:14,169
This is the first decent
financial statement...
140
00:10:14,247 --> 00:10:16,545
this old rag has had
since Granddad ran it.
141
00:10:16,616 --> 00:10:20,484
Oh, yeah, Sis, and the old guy's
probably whirling in his grave.
142
00:10:20,553 --> 00:10:22,953
You wanna give me a break,
Perry.
143
00:10:23,023 --> 00:10:26,117
You know, last year the dealer
was ready to take your Ferrari away.
144
00:10:26,192 --> 00:10:28,786
Now you've got more moneythan you know how to spend.
145
00:10:30,230 --> 00:10:32,562
- The same goes for you, Daddy.
- Take it easy, Ellie.
146
00:10:32,632 --> 00:10:35,533
Dad's had a hell of a year
trying to keep Bennett in check.
147
00:10:35,602 --> 00:10:38,696
An effort which has, I'm afraid,
been largely wasted.
148
00:10:41,174 --> 00:10:45,508
- Daddy, don't you think you oughtalay off that stuffjust a little. - Well, I'm sorry, darling.
149
00:10:45,578 --> 00:10:49,139
We're supposed to be showing
our bright happy faces here.
150
00:10:49,215 --> 00:10:51,183
Sober, I'm not sure I can manage.
151
00:10:51,251 --> 00:10:54,743
Well, Kay, how delightful.
You've brought Mrs. Fletcher.
152
00:10:54,821 --> 00:10:57,619
Walter Revere, former owner
and publisher of the Sentinel.
153
00:10:57,691 --> 00:10:59,488
Eleanor Revere,
his daughter.
154
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,390
[Jessica]How do you do? Very well, thank you.
155
00:11:01,461 --> 00:11:02,894
[Walter]Mrs. Fletcher,
156
00:11:02,962 --> 00:11:06,227
I want you to know how appalled
I was at what happened to Haskell Drake.
157
00:11:06,299 --> 00:11:08,233
As I am, Mr. Revere.
158
00:11:08,301 --> 00:11:12,260
Unfortunately, my views no longer
hold much weight at the newspaper.
159
00:11:12,338 --> 00:11:15,796
These days I hardly rate a visitfrom the coffee cart.
160
00:11:15,875 --> 00:11:17,866
[Perry]If you're searchingfor the great man,
161
00:11:17,944 --> 00:11:22,176
- I believe I saw him
holding court that way. - Thank you. Excuse me.
162
00:11:27,687 --> 00:11:31,623
You're not suggesting
that I be held responsible for Haskell Drake's medical bills.
163
00:11:31,691 --> 00:11:35,559
No, of course not.
I'm concerned about his mental well-being.
164
00:11:35,628 --> 00:11:38,654
Haskell is an outstanding
newspaperman,
165
00:11:38,732 --> 00:11:41,132
who'd be an asset
in any organization.
166
00:11:41,201 --> 00:11:43,897
Mrs. Fletcher,
I am a publisher.
167
00:11:43,970 --> 00:11:47,599
I am not a good Samaritan
for losers or has-beens.
168
00:11:47,674 --> 00:11:49,608
A has-been?
169
00:11:49,676 --> 00:11:52,645
No, Lamar,
he's a legend.
170
00:11:52,712 --> 00:11:55,203
And frankly you're not fit
to sharpen the man's pencils.
171
00:11:55,281 --> 00:11:59,980
My, my, my.
Aren't we letting it all hang out this evening?
172
00:12:00,053 --> 00:12:04,285
May I remind you, Walter,
that long before I appeared on the scene,
173
00:12:04,357 --> 00:12:08,760
your pathetic opinions mercifully
ceased to matter to your readers,
174
00:12:08,828 --> 00:12:10,989
your staff or anyone else.
175
00:12:11,664 --> 00:12:13,427
[Crowd Gasping, Murmuring]
176
00:12:13,500 --> 00:12:15,400
Oh, Mr. Bennett,
I'm so sorry.
177
00:12:15,468 --> 00:12:18,096
Daddy, l-Here, let me.
178
00:12:18,171 --> 00:12:20,605
I'm so sorry.
I'm sure that Daddy- Everyone!
179
00:12:22,142 --> 00:12:24,269
Everyone,
180
00:12:24,344 --> 00:12:28,644
may I have your attention
for a moment, please?
181
00:12:28,715 --> 00:12:30,979
I want to make
a little announcement.
182
00:12:31,050 --> 00:12:33,814
As a matter of fact, a toast.
183
00:12:33,887 --> 00:12:36,014
A toast to the departure...
184
00:12:36,089 --> 00:12:40,116
of our dear, distinguishededitor emeritus...
185
00:12:40,193 --> 00:12:42,388
Walter Revere.
186
00:12:47,367 --> 00:12:51,667
And with him,
go the last vestiges,
187
00:12:51,738 --> 00:12:56,232
happily, of the old,
moribund Boston Sentinel...
188
00:12:56,309 --> 00:12:59,210
and his brand
of archaic journalism,
189
00:12:59,279 --> 00:13:04,182
where so-called "tradition"is a synonym for-
190
00:13:07,287 --> 00:13:08,481
Don't listen-
191
00:13:08,555 --> 00:13:11,388
[Mutters]
192
00:13:11,457 --> 00:13:12,822
Mr. Bennett.
193
00:13:34,047 --> 00:13:36,140
Yeah, get me Billy Simms
and hurry.
194
00:13:36,216 --> 00:13:39,083
I wanna know
how many fire companies, how much damage and injuries,
195
00:13:39,152 --> 00:13:41,086
names, gory details,
the whole shot.
196
00:13:41,154 --> 00:13:44,146
Billy, phone.
Joe, get a couple more photographers down there. Quick.
197
00:13:44,224 --> 00:13:47,159
It's Miss Garrett on five.
She says it's important. Harry, who's covering the hospitals?
198
00:13:47,227 --> 00:13:50,355
We got Berman at Memorial,
Gettis at General and Starbuck on his way to Central.
199
00:13:50,430 --> 00:13:53,126
You, get on your horse
and get down there and help 'em.
200
00:13:53,199 --> 00:13:56,327
Kay, you'll have to give it to me fast.
We've got a big one burning down at the dock.
201
00:13:56,402 --> 00:13:58,029
Billy, I hate to give it
to you like this.
202
00:13:58,104 --> 00:14:00,664
I really do. I'm sorry.
203
00:14:00,740 --> 00:14:03,004
But Mr. Bennett just died.
204
00:14:03,076 --> 00:14:04,873
[Sighs]
205
00:14:04,944 --> 00:14:08,436
- He what?
- I'm very sorry, Billy.
206
00:14:08,514 --> 00:14:11,950
Uh, yeah.
It's okay, kid.
207
00:14:12,018 --> 00:14:16,751
I, uh- How'd it happen?
What was it, an accident or what?
208
00:14:16,823 --> 00:14:19,883
He just suddenly turned red.
Then he seemed to have trouble breathing.
209
00:14:19,959 --> 00:14:22,519
Then he keeled over.There'll be an autopsy.
210
00:14:22,595 --> 00:14:25,189
I'll cover the medical
examiner's office.
211
00:14:25,265 --> 00:14:29,031
Yeah.
Well, hold on a second, Kay.
212
00:14:29,102 --> 00:14:33,300
Lou, hold page one for a remake.
Artie, get me a rewrite man and quick.
213
00:14:37,343 --> 00:14:39,971
Okay, kid.
Give me your lead.
214
00:14:40,046 --> 00:14:41,980
[Typing]
215
00:14:45,118 --> 00:14:47,052
I feel so sorry for Billy.
216
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,782
He and Bennett
go back a long way. Oh, yeah. Way back.
217
00:14:49,856 --> 00:14:53,223
Clear back to when Billy
was just a hatchet boy. It's just unbelievable.
218
00:14:53,293 --> 00:14:56,785
Yeah, kinda makes you
wonder where you turn next for your aggravation quota.
219
00:14:56,863 --> 00:14:58,125
Listen, Mrs. Fletcher,
220
00:14:58,197 --> 00:15:01,325
since death seems to
have cheated us out of that rubber chicken dinner...
221
00:15:01,401 --> 00:15:04,234
they were gettin' ready
to serve us, why don't you let me buy you dinner?
222
00:15:04,304 --> 00:15:07,296
[Chuckles]
I'm afraid I've lost my appetite, but I'll take a rain check.
223
00:15:07,373 --> 00:15:09,466
Tomorrow night
if I'm still in town? You're on.
224
00:15:09,542 --> 00:15:12,773
Good.
Oh, anybody get a fix on what did him in?
225
00:15:12,845 --> 00:15:15,006
Well, it's just a guess,
226
00:15:15,081 --> 00:15:18,175
but the symptoms
looked to me like a brain hemorrhage.
227
00:15:18,251 --> 00:15:21,015
Hmm.
Well, he was lucky.
228
00:15:21,087 --> 00:15:23,078
I always thought somebody
would murder him.
229
00:15:23,156 --> 00:15:25,750
Actually, it, uh,
could have been murder.
230
00:15:25,825 --> 00:15:28,293
- What?
- [Chuckles] Oh, I'm sorry.
231
00:15:28,361 --> 00:15:31,455
It's just my mystery writer's
mind at work.
232
00:15:31,531 --> 00:15:34,625
You see, it is possible to induce
a brain hemorrhage...
233
00:15:34,701 --> 00:15:37,761
using a combination
of alcohol and certain drugs.
234
00:15:37,837 --> 00:15:40,670
[Laughs]
Well, that lets out all of us. We're not that smart,
235
00:15:40,740 --> 00:15:43,300
or else we wouldn't have
been working for him in the first place.
236
00:15:44,677 --> 00:15:46,770
Shut up,
Mr. Lassiter.
237
00:15:46,846 --> 00:15:51,112
The man is dead.
Just keep quiet about him.
238
00:15:51,184 --> 00:15:53,516
Okay, okay.
No offense, Clyde.
239
00:15:53,586 --> 00:15:57,215
You always went around
sayin' bad things about him. You, too, Miss Garrett.
240
00:15:57,290 --> 00:15:59,656
You just couldn't let yourselfsee the good side.
241
00:15:59,726 --> 00:16:03,787
Maybe she just misplaced
her magnifying glass. [Chuckles]
242
00:16:03,863 --> 00:16:06,957
Clyde, leave him alone.Stop it.
243
00:16:17,744 --> 00:16:19,837
[Jessica]Yes, this is Mrs. Fletcher,in 315.
244
00:16:19,912 --> 00:16:22,107
Would you make up my bill,
please?
245
00:16:23,249 --> 00:16:26,980
Yes, I'll be leaving
in a few minutes. Thank you.
246
00:16:36,396 --> 00:16:38,159
[Knocking]
247
00:16:42,835 --> 00:16:44,769
Lieutenant Caruso,
Boston P.D.
248
00:16:44,837 --> 00:16:48,705
That's Sergeant Tierney.
May we come in? Oh, yes. Yes, of course.
249
00:16:48,775 --> 00:16:50,709
Mrs. Fletcher,
I'll get right to the point.
250
00:16:50,777 --> 00:16:53,245
The medical examiner thinks
Lamar Bennett may have been murdered.
251
00:16:53,312 --> 00:16:56,281
Really?
The newspaper says nothing-
252
00:16:56,349 --> 00:16:58,783
That makes two of you.
What?
253
00:17:00,153 --> 00:17:03,316
Last night you raised
the possibility of murder while talking to a-
254
00:17:03,389 --> 00:17:05,448
Oh, yes, to Kay Garrett
and Stan Lassiter.
255
00:17:05,525 --> 00:17:08,153
That was just conjecture,
Lieutenant.
256
00:17:08,227 --> 00:17:10,286
You conject accurately.
257
00:17:10,363 --> 00:17:12,422
The autopsy showed
methylthionate in his system.
258
00:17:12,498 --> 00:17:15,399
Oh, dear.
And that mixed with alcohol, it, uh-
259
00:17:15,468 --> 00:17:19,063
It caused a massive
cerebral hemorrhage.
260
00:17:19,138 --> 00:17:22,130
The coroner picked it up
from a blood test.
261
00:17:22,208 --> 00:17:24,142
You work from a crystal ball,
Mrs. Fletcher?
262
00:17:24,210 --> 00:17:29,045
[Laughs]
Well, uh, with all the research that I do for my books,
263
00:17:29,115 --> 00:17:33,779
my head has become
something of a storehouse for extraneous information.
264
00:17:33,853 --> 00:17:37,584
But of course, that's nothing
like the kind of knowledge that you need in your job, Lieutenant.
265
00:17:37,657 --> 00:17:39,625
I don't like being shined on,
Mrs. Fletcher.
266
00:17:41,127 --> 00:17:43,925
I read that article the Sentinel
printed about you.
267
00:17:43,996 --> 00:17:45,930
Not real flattering.
268
00:17:46,999 --> 00:17:50,935
Well, surely you don't think
that that silly story is sufficient motive for murder?
269
00:17:51,003 --> 00:17:54,166
I deal in evidence, ma'am.
Facts.
270
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,231
And the chief fact
I have uncovered about you...
271
00:17:56,309 --> 00:17:58,937
is you seem to know more
about this man's death than you should.
272
00:17:59,011 --> 00:18:00,979
Facts.
273
00:18:01,047 --> 00:18:03,982
All right, all right.
Let's-Let's talk about facts.
274
00:18:04,050 --> 00:18:07,042
The glass that Mr. Bennett
drank out of.
275
00:18:07,120 --> 00:18:10,681
Surely that must've yielded
something useful, like a fingerprint.
276
00:18:10,756 --> 00:18:13,691
The glasses were washed
before anyone thought it could be murder.
277
00:18:13,759 --> 00:18:15,750
Anyone but you,
Mrs. Fletcher.
278
00:18:15,828 --> 00:18:18,729
Another fact
I seem to remember-
279
00:18:18,798 --> 00:18:23,326
methylthionate and alcohol
needn't be administered at the same moment.
280
00:18:24,837 --> 00:18:28,000
Funny.
That's the same thing the medical examiner told me.
281
00:18:28,074 --> 00:18:30,907
Bennett could've either
have the alcohol first or the other way around.
282
00:18:30,977 --> 00:18:35,073
Mrs. Fletcher,
I suggest you remain in Boston.
283
00:18:35,148 --> 00:18:39,517
- We may need you
for further questioning. - I'm sorry, Lieutenant,
284
00:18:39,585 --> 00:18:41,576
but I know nothing
about that man's death.
285
00:18:41,654 --> 00:18:45,112
And after I have visited
a dear friend in the hospital, I am returning to Cabot Cove.
286
00:18:45,191 --> 00:18:49,628
Unless, of course, you feel
compelled to press charges against me right now.
287
00:18:54,467 --> 00:18:56,662
Tierney,
get her home phone number.
288
00:18:59,372 --> 00:19:00,862
[Eleanor]Do you believe it?
289
00:19:00,940 --> 00:19:03,670
The police were on my doorstep
at 8:00 a.m.
290
00:19:03,743 --> 00:19:06,678
Oh, don't worry, Sis.
They didn't single you out.
291
00:19:06,746 --> 00:19:09,510
They came by for a statement
from me and from Dad.
292
00:19:09,582 --> 00:19:12,574
[Eleanor]It's totally humiliating.How can they possibly think...
293
00:19:12,652 --> 00:19:15,644
that I would have had anything
to do with his death? Oh, come on, Eleanor.
294
00:19:15,721 --> 00:19:17,746
We were there.
We detested him.
295
00:19:17,823 --> 00:19:20,053
Speak for yourself,
brother dear.
296
00:19:20,126 --> 00:19:22,754
All right, that's enough.
Both of you.
297
00:19:22,828 --> 00:19:24,762
Listen to me.
298
00:19:24,830 --> 00:19:27,731
I've decided to speak
with Bennett's executor...
299
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:33,670
about buying back at least
enough of the Sentinel stock to regain control.
300
00:19:35,141 --> 00:19:39,043
Eleanor, I need your promise
you won't sell your shares.
301
00:19:39,111 --> 00:19:42,842
[Chuckles]
Sell? Daddy, what do you think I've been living on?
302
00:19:46,986 --> 00:19:49,978
Lamar Bennett dead.
303
00:19:50,056 --> 00:19:52,320
[Laughs]
Well, it figures.
304
00:19:52,391 --> 00:19:56,384
Excuse me, but I mean a man
with his rotten disposition, God would get him.
305
00:19:56,462 --> 00:19:58,623
Well, God may have gotten
a little help.
306
00:20:00,233 --> 00:20:03,396
- Murder?
- The police seem to think so.
307
00:20:03,469 --> 00:20:06,529
Lamar Bennett murdered.
Now there's a story.
308
00:20:06,606 --> 00:20:09,234
Uh, uh, uh, Haskell,
calm down. Your heart.
309
00:20:09,308 --> 00:20:12,539
What are you talkin' about?
My heart feels great.
310
00:20:12,612 --> 00:20:14,978
Now wait a minute.
Lo-Look at this obit.
311
00:20:15,047 --> 00:20:19,143
"Rags-to-riches, self-taught,
one-time salesman." That's all surface.
312
00:20:19,218 --> 00:20:21,982
I mean who knew him
better than Billy Simms.
313
00:20:22,054 --> 00:20:24,454
But that's Billy,
loyal as hell.
314
00:20:24,523 --> 00:20:28,857
Now what he doesn't say here,
that's the real house number on Lamar Bennett.
315
00:20:28,928 --> 00:20:32,295
Like, uh, who he stepped on
to get where he got. You know, stuff like that.
316
00:20:32,365 --> 00:20:34,162
Jess, I'm telling ya.
This is a story-
317
00:20:34,233 --> 00:20:36,292
For goodness sakes,
Haskell, stay still.
318
00:20:36,369 --> 00:20:38,837
Well, can't you see it?
This is a great story.
319
00:20:38,904 --> 00:20:41,372
The big one.
I can feel it.
320
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,431
[Stammering]
Jess, do me a favor.
321
00:20:43,509 --> 00:20:46,672
Can't you stay a few days,
do some legwork for me?
322
00:20:46,746 --> 00:20:49,715
Legwork?
Oh, don't be ridiculous. [Laughs]
323
00:20:49,782 --> 00:20:51,875
Oh, come on,
Jess, please?
324
00:20:51,951 --> 00:20:54,442
I mean, this story can
put me back in business.
325
00:20:55,688 --> 00:20:58,521
The search for
the real Lamar Bennett, and who killed him.
326
00:20:58,591 --> 00:21:01,424
That's our hook.
Our hook?
327
00:21:01,494 --> 00:21:04,930
You remember
that summer you worked for the wire service,
328
00:21:04,997 --> 00:21:06,658
and you didsome research for me?
329
00:21:06,732 --> 00:21:08,563
That empty oil tankstorage swindle?
330
00:21:08,634 --> 00:21:11,034
- You had me running
all over New England. - Yeah.
331
00:21:11,103 --> 00:21:13,196
And your head was all cluttered
with hearts and flowers...
332
00:21:13,272 --> 00:21:14,637
and Frank Fletcher, huh?
333
00:21:14,707 --> 00:21:16,299
You wanted to be a teacher?
334
00:21:16,375 --> 00:21:18,707
Ah, what the hell.
Forget it, forget it.
335
00:21:18,778 --> 00:21:22,646
- You weren't much help then anyway.
- Are you kidding? I was terrific.
336
00:21:22,715 --> 00:21:24,307
You said so yourself.
337
00:21:24,383 --> 00:21:26,476
I would've made
a first-rate reporter.
338
00:21:26,552 --> 00:21:28,884
Yeah, well, maybe.
Maybe?
339
00:21:28,954 --> 00:21:32,117
On my worst day,
I was the best legman you ever had.
340
00:21:32,191 --> 00:21:34,716
Huh, huh, huh, huh, huh.
That's the way you remember it.
341
00:21:38,998 --> 00:21:42,991
Haskell Drake,
you are impossible.
342
00:21:44,136 --> 00:21:48,402
You're ornery and deceitful...
and devious.
343
00:21:48,474 --> 00:21:50,840
Not to mention manipulative.
344
00:21:51,911 --> 00:21:55,142
Okay, come on.
Here's your first assignment.
345
00:21:55,214 --> 00:21:57,341
I don't believe it.
All right.
346
00:21:57,416 --> 00:21:59,475
I want a typewriter
and lots of paper,
347
00:21:59,552 --> 00:22:01,486
and, uh, a couple phones.
348
00:22:01,554 --> 00:22:03,852
Oh, yeah, and-and bring me
a box of cigars.
349
00:22:06,225 --> 00:22:08,557
Who were you with
just after he was murdered,
350
00:22:08,627 --> 00:22:11,994
and what wastheir reaction? [Sighs]
351
00:22:12,064 --> 00:22:14,555
Well, come on, girl.
Start takin' notes!
352
00:22:19,839 --> 00:22:22,239
[Chattering]
353
00:22:23,275 --> 00:22:25,243
Come on, Karen.Come on, Vernon.
354
00:22:25,311 --> 00:22:27,302
Let's go.
Let's get on the bus.
355
00:22:29,115 --> 00:22:31,049
All right, Kay.
356
00:22:31,117 --> 00:22:33,642
Now maybe I could've
been stronger with Bennett, but damn it-
357
00:22:33,719 --> 00:22:35,778
I'm sorry, Perry.
I don't mean to take it out on you.
358
00:22:35,855 --> 00:22:38,050
Look, things are going to
be different now.
359
00:22:38,124 --> 00:22:40,115
My dad's going to be back
running the paper soon.
360
00:22:40,192 --> 00:22:43,184
Mrs. Fletcher.
Hi, how's Mr. Drake?
361
00:22:43,262 --> 00:22:46,561
- Oh, he's improving.
Miraculously in fact. - Oh, that's great.
362
00:22:46,632 --> 00:22:49,396
Actually, he's starting a story,
363
00:22:49,468 --> 00:22:52,062
and I'm-Well, I'm sort of
helping with the research.
364
00:22:52,138 --> 00:22:55,266
- Ah, no kidding. What's it about?
- Lamar Bennett.
365
00:22:58,010 --> 00:23:00,035
I'll catch you later,
Mrs. Fletcher.
366
00:23:00,112 --> 00:23:02,376
Oh, I was hoping
that you could give me a few minutes.
367
00:23:02,448 --> 00:23:04,541
Sorry, I've gotta pick up
my laundry.
368
00:23:04,617 --> 00:23:06,847
Later, honey.
369
00:23:08,020 --> 00:23:12,013
He's not always that rude.
I guess you just hit a nerve.
370
00:23:12,091 --> 00:23:15,652
Yes. Kay-
Maybe Perry's rightfor once.
371
00:23:15,728 --> 00:23:17,889
The less said about
Lamar Bennett the better.
372
00:23:17,963 --> 00:23:21,763
Kay, a very dear friend
of mine is in the hospital.
373
00:23:21,834 --> 00:23:24,632
He was ready to give up
and die two days ago.
374
00:23:24,703 --> 00:23:27,103
Now he has a reason to live.
This story.
375
00:23:28,407 --> 00:23:30,341
Sure.
How can I help you?
376
00:23:30,409 --> 00:23:32,343
Well, for starters,
377
00:23:33,479 --> 00:23:35,913
how would you rate
Lamar Bennett as a newspaperman?
378
00:23:35,981 --> 00:23:39,075
A very narrow sense of story.
379
00:23:39,151 --> 00:23:41,085
A flair for the dramatic...
380
00:23:41,153 --> 00:23:44,953
but no real feelfor human interest. Well, give me a for instance.
381
00:23:45,024 --> 00:23:48,687
I was working on this piece
about unwanted kids,
382
00:23:48,761 --> 00:23:53,858
about the state's tendency
to leave them with parents who abuse and neglect them.
383
00:23:53,933 --> 00:23:56,231
Come on.
Let's get on the bus.
384
00:23:57,303 --> 00:24:02,172
Anyway, Bennett said the story
wasn't sensational enough.
385
00:24:02,241 --> 00:24:06,701
As I recall, you've written
several stories about unwanted children, orphanages...
386
00:24:06,779 --> 00:24:09,043
foster homesand so on. You've done your homework.
387
00:24:11,517 --> 00:24:14,486
It's hard to change
the system.
388
00:24:14,553 --> 00:24:16,612
I guess I was luckier
than most.
389
00:24:16,689 --> 00:24:20,147
You see, I was adopted
after only four years.
390
00:24:20,226 --> 00:24:22,592
Hi, Julie.
391
00:24:22,661 --> 00:24:24,959
I suppose I haven't been
much help, Mrs. Fletcher.
392
00:24:25,030 --> 00:24:27,464
I guess
I'm just too close to it.
393
00:24:29,368 --> 00:24:32,394
I've gotta go.
Oh, I understand. Bye.
394
00:24:32,471 --> 00:24:33,961
Hi.
395
00:24:37,376 --> 00:24:41,210
Mr. Drake,
you have got to take your medication.
396
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,475
You are already
two hours overdue.
397
00:24:43,549 --> 00:24:45,483
And you can't smoke
that cigar.
398
00:24:45,551 --> 00:24:48,281
Listen, Phillips,
I'm on long distance. Do you mind?
399
00:24:48,354 --> 00:24:51,653
Uh, yes, Sackett I think
her name was.
400
00:24:51,724 --> 00:24:53,658
Uh, right, right.
Okay, bye.
401
00:24:54,727 --> 00:24:56,854
Look, miss,
try me in a month, why don't ya?
402
00:24:56,929 --> 00:24:58,920
Better still make it two.
Hello, you still there?
403
00:24:58,998 --> 00:25:02,263
Yeah, I'm still here.That's right.
404
00:25:02,334 --> 00:25:05,269
A little bit of a thing.
Bee-stung lips.
405
00:25:05,337 --> 00:25:07,305
He's all yours.
Sioux Falls? Oh, good.
406
00:25:07,373 --> 00:25:10,001
Wait a minute.
Hold it. Good, good.
407
00:25:10,075 --> 00:25:13,943
Mr. Drake.
Uh, excuse me, Doc. Thanks.
408
00:25:14,013 --> 00:25:16,243
Yeah, what is it?
Oh, Jess, what've you got?
409
00:25:16,315 --> 00:25:20,217
I've got everything that
the Boston Public Library has on Bennett, plus-
410
00:25:20,286 --> 00:25:22,584
Oh great.
I'm trackin' down a lady...
411
00:25:22,655 --> 00:25:25,249
who worked as a society editor
in Tulsa, back in the dark ages.
412
00:25:25,324 --> 00:25:28,225
Mr. Drake,
you are a very sick man.
413
00:25:28,294 --> 00:25:32,128
You can't be abusing-
Doc, here, take my pulse if it'll make you feel better.
414
00:25:32,197 --> 00:25:35,223
Anyway, Jess, if we find her,
we're gonna uncover a lotta bodies.
415
00:25:35,301 --> 00:25:38,065
Now, listen to this.
The way I figure,
416
00:25:38,137 --> 00:25:41,265
Bennett's last will
and testament might just give us the answer.
417
00:25:41,340 --> 00:25:44,901
You know, find out who feelsthey didn't get their due,and you've got your killer.
418
00:25:44,977 --> 00:25:46,911
Well, it may not be
as simple as that.
419
00:25:46,979 --> 00:25:50,176
I mean Bennett's finances
were very shaky, and he owed a lot of people.
420
00:25:50,249 --> 00:25:53,309
Jessica, Jessica.
That's what I got from the Wall StreetJournal.
421
00:25:53,385 --> 00:25:56,821
I don't want dollars and cents.
I want a personal point of view.
422
00:25:56,889 --> 00:26:00,882
[Sighs]
Oh, she- Oh, Doc, please, please.
423
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,224
So what'd you learn
about Kay Garrett?
424
00:26:03,295 --> 00:26:05,820
Well, apparently she
and Perry Revere-
425
00:26:05,898 --> 00:26:09,265
Uh, well, they're an item.
Only he seems more committed than she is.
426
00:26:09,335 --> 00:26:12,099
Yeah?
How much of an item and for how long?
427
00:26:12,171 --> 00:26:14,867
We need details, Jessica.
Facts.
428
00:26:14,940 --> 00:26:17,272
Did Perry ever catch Bennettmaking a pass at her?
429
00:26:17,343 --> 00:26:21,143
Was she insulted
he didn't make a pass? Is Perry the jealous type?
430
00:26:21,213 --> 00:26:23,579
Well, I suppose l-
Wait, wait, wait.
431
00:26:23,649 --> 00:26:27,244
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
We do not suppose anything here, Jessica.
432
00:26:27,319 --> 00:26:29,913
We are not writing a novel here,
Jessica.
433
00:26:29,989 --> 00:26:32,822
Who, what, why,when, where?
434
00:26:32,891 --> 00:26:35,018
I'll make a reporter
outta you yet.
435
00:26:35,094 --> 00:26:37,028
Where was I?
Where, where was I?
436
00:26:37,096 --> 00:26:39,189
Where-[Typing]
437
00:26:39,264 --> 00:26:41,824
[Billy]Wait a minute.
438
00:26:41,900 --> 00:26:46,530
You are asking me to quit?
For the good of the paper, Billy.
439
00:26:46,605 --> 00:26:48,596
I mean if my dad
takes over again,
440
00:26:48,674 --> 00:26:52,610
like it or not, around here,
you'll always be Bennett's hired gun.
441
00:26:52,678 --> 00:26:56,637
Perry, I'm gonna do you a favor.
442
00:26:59,251 --> 00:27:02,243
I'm not gonna take anything
you said personally.
443
00:27:02,321 --> 00:27:05,415
But your dad has got
as much chance of gettin' back on top...
444
00:27:05,491 --> 00:27:08,983
as the Braves do
of comin' back to Boston.
445
00:27:09,061 --> 00:27:11,962
Now, how about
getting back to work?
446
00:27:23,776 --> 00:27:26,176
Mrs. Fletcher.
Mr. Revere, I know you're very busy,
447
00:27:26,245 --> 00:27:28,236
but if you have
a few moments- Not now.
448
00:27:28,313 --> 00:27:30,679
Guy's a nice enough fella.
But he'll never make a newspaperman.
449
00:27:30,749 --> 00:27:33,411
You know, he doesn't have
that edge, that nose to really dig into a story.
450
00:27:33,485 --> 00:27:34,747
Really.
I'm Billy Simms.
451
00:27:34,820 --> 00:27:36,754
And Lamar Bennett?
Did he have the nose?
452
00:27:36,822 --> 00:27:38,756
I hear you're giving
Haskell a hand.
453
00:27:38,824 --> 00:27:41,156
But don't expect me to
help you do an ax job...
454
00:27:41,226 --> 00:27:43,160
on a man that was
pretty good to me most of my life.
455
00:27:43,228 --> 00:27:46,391
Oh, now, that is unfair.
Now, you know Haskell's work.
456
00:27:46,465 --> 00:27:49,992
Now, he'll be a lot more
impartial than Mr. Bennett ever was.
457
00:27:50,069 --> 00:27:52,537
Use the close-up, Sam,
and lose the background.
458
00:27:52,604 --> 00:27:57,268
When I started with L.B.
25 years ago, all I knew was writing ads.
459
00:27:57,342 --> 00:27:59,833
He wasn't perfect,
but he taught me everything I know.
460
00:27:59,912 --> 00:28:04,281
But as you said,
he was not perfect. Hey,
461
00:28:04,349 --> 00:28:06,476
I didn't say I agreed with
all his decisions,
462
00:28:06,552 --> 00:28:08,520
or the way
he treated people.
463
00:28:08,587 --> 00:28:11,715
Mr. Simms, do you think
he was murdered?
464
00:28:11,790 --> 00:28:15,191
I'm sure there are a lot
of people who've had the urge at one time or another.
465
00:28:15,260 --> 00:28:18,252
If you'll excuse me, Mrs. Fletcher,
our editorial conferences is now.
466
00:28:18,330 --> 00:28:21,356
Uh, just-just
one other thing. One, Mrs. Fletcher.
467
00:28:21,433 --> 00:28:23,799
You reported
in the late edition...
468
00:28:23,869 --> 00:28:26,929
that most of his estate
had been left to the Lamar Bennett Foundation.
469
00:28:27,005 --> 00:28:30,600
Do you know ofany personal bequeststhat he might have made?
470
00:28:30,676 --> 00:28:32,610
Yes, he left me a few bucks.
471
00:28:32,678 --> 00:28:36,079
But as far as I know,the only other heirwas Clyde Thorson.
472
00:28:36,148 --> 00:28:37,581
Good-bye.
473
00:28:40,252 --> 00:28:44,052
Well, hi, Mrs. Fletcher.
I understand you've become Haskell Drake's shoe leather.
474
00:28:44,123 --> 00:28:46,921
Well, we're sort of
working together.
475
00:28:46,992 --> 00:28:50,621
Hey, don't expect any credit.
Drake wouldn't share a byline with his mother.
476
00:28:50,696 --> 00:28:54,564
When you have a chance,
I'd love to hear your thoughts about Lamar Bennett.
477
00:28:55,834 --> 00:28:58,098
I never speak ill of the dead.
478
00:28:58,170 --> 00:29:00,331
Only running backs
with bad knees.
479
00:29:05,110 --> 00:29:06,270
[Sighs]
480
00:29:07,913 --> 00:29:11,508
Well, the Bennett stock is
not for sale, not at any price.
481
00:29:12,518 --> 00:29:15,885
Circulation's up,
so Billy Simms gets the job.
482
00:29:15,954 --> 00:29:19,151
I can't believe it.
Believe it, Daddy.
483
00:29:21,593 --> 00:29:23,584
You're really pleased at this,
aren't you?
484
00:29:23,662 --> 00:29:26,790
Now, Daddy-
Just marvelous,Eleanor.
485
00:29:26,865 --> 00:29:29,561
I guess I haven't been
terribly realistic,
486
00:29:29,635 --> 00:29:31,603
thinking I could count on you
for support.
487
00:29:33,238 --> 00:29:38,301
Daddy, realistic is the fact
that the Sentinel is now making a fat profit.
488
00:29:38,377 --> 00:29:40,436
And if I take it over,
it won't.
489
00:29:40,512 --> 00:29:42,446
Well, I'm sorry, Daddy,
490
00:29:42,514 --> 00:29:46,974
but I have a whole new lifestyle
that is riding on the price of the Sentinel's stock.
491
00:29:55,027 --> 00:29:58,656
Oh, Mr. Thorson?
Mrs. Fletcher.
492
00:29:58,730 --> 00:30:01,563
I don't wanna talk to you
because I heard what you and Mr. Drake...
493
00:30:01,633 --> 00:30:04,796
are tryin' to do to Mr. Bennett,
makin' him a bad person.
494
00:30:04,870 --> 00:30:09,671
Mr. Thorson, if that were true,
I'd only question people who disliked him.
495
00:30:09,741 --> 00:30:10,867
Whew.
496
00:30:10,943 --> 00:30:15,209
I know if that someone
left me $25,000, I'd feel just terrible,
497
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,181
people saying negativeabout them. Yes, ma'am.
498
00:30:18,250 --> 00:30:22,209
So, I don't suppose
anything could pay for-
499
00:30:22,287 --> 00:30:25,688
How long was it?
16 years of total loyalty?
500
00:30:25,757 --> 00:30:27,691
[Chuckles]My goodness.
501
00:30:27,759 --> 00:30:30,819
Out of all the millions
that he owned,
502
00:30:30,896 --> 00:30:33,228
that doesn't seem like
so very much.
503
00:30:33,298 --> 00:30:35,493
Mr. Bennett must
have had his reasons.
504
00:30:37,002 --> 00:30:42,838
You know, some people are saying
that his death could have been suicide.
505
00:30:42,908 --> 00:30:46,810
No way, ma'am.
Not for Mr. Bennett.
506
00:30:47,846 --> 00:30:49,837
And I wanna tell you
somethin' else.
507
00:30:49,915 --> 00:30:53,715
If it was murder, the cops
better get ahold of this guy before I get my hands on him.
508
00:30:56,922 --> 00:31:01,256
You see, Mr. Bennett
was like a father to me if I'd ever had one.
509
00:31:01,326 --> 00:31:04,227
I understand that
you were raised by an aunt...
510
00:31:04,296 --> 00:31:07,959
on an Oklahoma farm.Is that true? Yes, ma'am.
511
00:31:08,033 --> 00:31:11,469
I was down in the Oklahoma oil fields
when Mr. Bennett found me.
512
00:31:12,471 --> 00:31:15,372
I was a washed-up football player,
just lookin' for work.
513
00:31:17,009 --> 00:31:20,706
Excuse me, ma'am.
I just don't wanna let the ticker slow down too much.
514
00:31:20,779 --> 00:31:24,271
Oh, no, no, no.
Of course not. Uh, just one last thing.
515
00:31:24,349 --> 00:31:28,513
Uh, you seemed to bein charge ofhis sinus medication.
516
00:31:28,587 --> 00:31:31,784
You don't suppose someone
could've tampered with those pills?
517
00:31:31,857 --> 00:31:34,121
No way, ma'am.
518
00:31:34,192 --> 00:31:37,127
The cops asked me the same thing.
And they took what was left.
519
00:31:38,864 --> 00:31:40,491
Good day, ma'am.
520
00:31:44,536 --> 00:31:47,801
[Jessica]So, in spite of the increasein circulation and advertising,
521
00:31:47,873 --> 00:31:51,604
the costs went up too,
which in a way explains Bennett's financial problems.
522
00:31:51,677 --> 00:31:53,440
Whoa, whoa,
hold it, hold it.
523
00:31:53,512 --> 00:31:56,037
- Where's your lead paragraph?
- Well, I'm coming to that.
524
00:31:56,114 --> 00:31:59,914
Well, before you do, they'll bereading the vitamin contentoff their cereal boxes.
525
00:32:01,019 --> 00:32:04,978
Haskell, will you stop treating
me like a two-year-old?
526
00:32:05,057 --> 00:32:08,993
You know, it's all beginning
to come back to me now. Why I chose to marry Frank...
527
00:32:09,061 --> 00:32:12,997
instead of pursuing
a newspaper career with you.
528
00:32:13,065 --> 00:32:17,934
Uh, shh-shh.
Yeah, hello, Mrs. Marcus. Yeah, that's right.
529
00:32:18,003 --> 00:32:21,200
The society editor from Tulsa.
Finally tracked her down.
530
00:32:21,273 --> 00:32:24,174
Guess where-
Minneapolis for God's sake.
531
00:32:24,242 --> 00:32:27,837
Yeah, yes, hello.
Well, say that again?
532
00:32:29,247 --> 00:32:31,807
Uh, when was that?
533
00:32:31,883 --> 00:32:35,011
Uh-huh.
Hmm-mm.
534
00:32:36,088 --> 00:32:38,147
Are you sure?
535
00:32:38,223 --> 00:32:41,192
You're not sure.
She's not sure.
536
00:32:42,194 --> 00:32:44,822
Uh, well, thank you,
Mrs. Marcus.
537
00:32:44,896 --> 00:32:47,490
There's more?
Hmm.
538
00:32:47,566 --> 00:32:52,162
Well, thank you, Mrs-
No, I am interested, but not just now.
539
00:32:53,238 --> 00:32:55,331
Uh, bye, Mrs. Marcus.
540
00:32:55,407 --> 00:32:57,898
Well-
[Chuckles]
541
00:32:57,976 --> 00:33:01,742
A couple of more minutes
and I'd have enough to blackmail half the people in Tulsa.
542
00:33:01,813 --> 00:33:04,475
[Laughs]
Okay, now.
543
00:33:04,549 --> 00:33:07,279
You ready?
Here's the skinny.
544
00:33:08,353 --> 00:33:10,412
About 23, 24 years ago,
545
00:33:10,489 --> 00:33:14,949
Bennett has an affairwith a local lady,an Olivia Kimmell.
546
00:33:15,027 --> 00:33:17,495
Rumor has itthat the lady gotwith child.
547
00:33:17,562 --> 00:33:19,723
Maybe yes, maybe no.
548
00:33:19,798 --> 00:33:23,757
Either way, a short time later,
Miss Kimmell ups and dies.
549
00:33:24,903 --> 00:33:28,999
Which means that
if there was a child-
550
00:33:29,074 --> 00:33:31,907
Bennett sure wasn't
accepting responsibility,
551
00:33:31,977 --> 00:33:34,343
even if he knew about it,
which maybe he didn't.
552
00:33:34,413 --> 00:33:37,610
Haskell, there are an awful
lot of maybes in your scenario.
553
00:33:37,682 --> 00:33:40,583
Yeah, butJessica,I can smell it.We've got something here.
554
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:44,445
All right.
Try this on for size.
555
00:33:44,523 --> 00:33:49,256
The kid gets adopted, grows up,
discovers that Bennett is his father, his real father.
556
00:33:49,327 --> 00:33:53,388
Bennett refusesto acknowledge him,:The kid kills him.
557
00:33:53,465 --> 00:33:57,526
- I know maybe it sounds crazy, but-
- Maybe not as crazy as you think.
558
00:33:57,602 --> 00:33:59,433
Jessica?
What is it?
559
00:34:00,672 --> 00:34:05,336
Haskell, I really don't want
to think what I'm thinking,
560
00:34:05,410 --> 00:34:08,937
but Kay Garrett spent
the first four years of her life...
561
00:34:09,014 --> 00:34:12,916
in an orphanage on the outskirts
ofTulsa, Oklahoma.
562
00:34:22,761 --> 00:34:24,888
[Caruso]Mrs. Fletcher, forget it.You're wrong.
563
00:34:24,963 --> 00:34:30,196
The lab workup indicates
that Bennett's sinus medicine was just that, sinus medicine.
564
00:34:30,268 --> 00:34:34,068
Now if you will excuse me.
If-lf I could just have a look at the coroner's report.
565
00:34:34,139 --> 00:34:35,868
What for?
566
00:34:35,941 --> 00:34:38,933
Mrs. Fletcher, why don't you
just go back to Cabot Falls...
567
00:34:39,010 --> 00:34:40,739
and leave this-
Cabot Cove.
568
00:34:41,813 --> 00:34:43,781
And look, whether youbelieve me or not,
569
00:34:43,849 --> 00:34:46,340
I am not trying
to step on your toes.
570
00:34:46,418 --> 00:34:49,444
No?
Everybody else is.
571
00:34:54,092 --> 00:34:56,026
You like these?
572
00:34:57,162 --> 00:35:00,154
Some ex-jock can hang
a dead fish on the wall...
573
00:35:00,232 --> 00:35:02,723
or maybe what's left of a moose
who didn't move fast enough.
574
00:35:02,801 --> 00:35:05,326
That's okay.
But when I bring in a few geraniums,
575
00:35:05,403 --> 00:35:08,804
- you can hear the snickers
all the way to Brockton. - I know the feeling.
576
00:35:08,874 --> 00:35:13,334
Which is why I, especially,
have to toe the line when it comes to the regs.
577
00:35:13,411 --> 00:35:16,039
Regulations.
We've got it, Lieutenant. Oh, hello, Mrs. Fletcher.
578
00:35:16,114 --> 00:35:17,706
It was murder, all right.
579
00:35:17,782 --> 00:35:20,148
Forensics found traces
of the drug and the alcohol,
580
00:35:20,218 --> 00:35:23,119
- along with Bennett's blood,
on her handkerchief. - Whose handkerchief?
581
00:35:23,188 --> 00:35:24,382
Eleanor Revere's.
582
00:35:24,456 --> 00:35:26,720
The one she used
to dab the cut on Bennett's cheek.
583
00:35:26,791 --> 00:35:29,055
We found itin her laundry basket.
584
00:35:29,127 --> 00:35:33,063
Are you saying
that Eleanor Revere murdered Lamar Bennett?
585
00:35:33,131 --> 00:35:34,564
In cahoots
with her father.
586
00:35:34,633 --> 00:35:36,794
Walter Revere strikesthe victim, draws blood,
587
00:35:36,868 --> 00:35:39,029
then Eleanor dips
her hanky into a glass...
588
00:35:39,104 --> 00:35:43,006
containing the methylthionate
alcohol solution, dabs it on the open wound-
589
00:35:43,074 --> 00:35:45,770
It mixes with the alcohol
already in his system,
590
00:35:45,844 --> 00:35:48,039
and ten seconds later,it's all over.
591
00:35:48,113 --> 00:35:52,516
You know, it is possible
that the methylthionate was already in his bloodstream.
592
00:35:52,584 --> 00:35:56,315
But not terribly likely
when you consider the Revere family motives.
593
00:35:56,388 --> 00:35:59,255
Nicely choreographed
right out in the open. Who'd have thought?
594
00:35:59,324 --> 00:36:01,121
Come on, Sergeant.
Let's bring 'em in.
595
00:36:01,193 --> 00:36:02,683
Glad I caught you,
Lieutenant.
596
00:36:02,761 --> 00:36:05,355
Gotta get your autograph
on these little beauties. Mm-hmm.
597
00:36:05,430 --> 00:36:07,421
Bottom of
the blue one there,
598
00:36:11,236 --> 00:36:14,569
uh, yellow one there-
Mm-hmm.
599
00:36:15,607 --> 00:36:17,871
And initials there.
You type a nice report, Officer.
600
00:36:17,943 --> 00:36:20,070
Anybody ever read
this stuff? Not that I know of, ma'am.
601
00:36:20,145 --> 00:36:22,170
I think it goes straight
to the files.
602
00:36:23,315 --> 00:36:25,306
Well, I'm heading over
to the Revere place.
603
00:36:25,383 --> 00:36:28,318
Mrs. Fletcher, if you come up
with any reason you think...
604
00:36:28,386 --> 00:36:31,014
I'm trudging downthe wrong road,I'd like to hear about it.
605
00:36:31,089 --> 00:36:33,421
But don't send me
smoke rings, okay?
606
00:36:33,491 --> 00:36:36,016
I want evidence.
Hard evidence.
607
00:36:38,196 --> 00:36:41,222
Otherwise,
you're just wasting my time.
608
00:36:47,539 --> 00:36:49,666
Thank you,
Mrs. Falucci.
609
00:36:49,741 --> 00:36:52,175
Al, that's it for today, dear.
Thank you. Okay.
610
00:36:53,211 --> 00:36:55,941
You know, I've got
no business doin' this, Mrs. Fletcher.
611
00:36:56,014 --> 00:36:58,915
But here you are.
The donors from the Sentinel.
612
00:36:58,984 --> 00:37:03,182
AB-negative bein' as rare
as it is, we're so delighted to get some...
613
00:37:03,255 --> 00:37:07,589
even if it was just the pint
we got from Miss Garrett. Thanks very much.
614
00:37:08,660 --> 00:37:12,255
[Haskell]It fits. Kay Garrett's gotta beLamar Bennett's daughter.
615
00:37:12,330 --> 00:37:15,663
But I don't believe that
she would have killed him.
616
00:37:15,734 --> 00:37:19,830
Oh, come on, Jessica.
It's the classic Greek tragedy, kid.
617
00:37:19,904 --> 00:37:22,930
I mean, she confronts him
and says, "Hi, Daddy, it's me."
618
00:37:23,008 --> 00:37:26,500
He says, "I don't know
what you're talkin' about."
619
00:37:26,578 --> 00:37:29,172
You know, people tend to
take that sort of rejection kinda hard.
620
00:37:29,247 --> 00:37:30,714
Yes, but I was with her...
621
00:37:30,782 --> 00:37:33,615
from the moment that
editorial meeting broke up...
622
00:37:33,685 --> 00:37:36,950
until the momentthat he died. Mr. Drake.
623
00:37:37,022 --> 00:37:40,583
French fries are not
a part of your diet. Don't you dare.
624
00:37:40,659 --> 00:37:44,390
No, but you'd rather
poison me with chipped beef and tapioca pudding, right?
625
00:37:44,462 --> 00:37:47,431
At least
take your medication.
626
00:37:47,499 --> 00:37:50,059
Okay.
[Clears Throat]
627
00:37:50,135 --> 00:37:52,626
You know, Jessica,
you yourself told me...
628
00:37:52,704 --> 00:37:54,865
that alcohol and
methyl-whaddyacall-it...
629
00:37:54,939 --> 00:37:58,102
doesn't have to be taken
at the same time.
630
00:37:58,176 --> 00:38:00,167
Oh, it's terrible.
631
00:38:03,882 --> 00:38:05,907
Just so long as they mix
in the bloodstream...
632
00:38:05,984 --> 00:38:07,975
and trigger off
the brain hemorrhage.
633
00:38:13,825 --> 00:38:18,091
Now, I mean, uh,Kay could've slipped it to himbefore you got to the Sentinel.
634
00:38:18,163 --> 00:38:22,031
Besides, she had a hell ofa better motive thanWalter and Eleanor.
635
00:38:22,100 --> 00:38:23,897
Wh-What're you after?
636
00:38:25,537 --> 00:38:28,062
This-The bulldog edition.
637
00:38:28,139 --> 00:38:31,540
Haskell, what time
does this go to press?
638
00:38:31,609 --> 00:38:35,670
Well, it depends.
Uh, if you want it on the street by 10:15,
639
00:38:35,747 --> 00:38:39,513
you gotta put the paper to bed
by 8:30, 8:45 the latest.
640
00:38:40,785 --> 00:38:45,017
Now, you know,
there was a time I saved the day, of course-
641
00:38:45,090 --> 00:38:47,923
Jessica!
642
00:38:57,802 --> 00:38:59,736
Thank you.
643
00:39:12,417 --> 00:39:14,351
[Jessica]It's a clipboard...
644
00:39:14,419 --> 00:39:16,478
about, uh,
about so big.
645
00:39:16,554 --> 00:39:18,545
It contains all of our
donor information.
646
00:39:18,623 --> 00:39:20,614
I mean, everything
for the past two months.
647
00:39:20,692 --> 00:39:23,718
Dr. Rashnishi is going
to have a fit if he finds out.
648
00:39:23,795 --> 00:39:25,729
Well, it could mean my job.
649
00:39:25,797 --> 00:39:27,788
Oh, incidentally,
I don't recall you giving blood.
650
00:39:27,866 --> 00:39:30,232
[Sighs]
Well, I would've,
651
00:39:30,301 --> 00:39:33,293
but I got this thing
about needles.
652
00:39:33,371 --> 00:39:36,340
Ah, thank you.
653
00:40:11,209 --> 00:40:13,700
Mrs. Fletcher.
[Gasps] Oh.
654
00:40:13,778 --> 00:40:18,909
Mr. Simms. I thought you'd
finished up the early edition and, uh, gone home.
655
00:40:18,983 --> 00:40:22,441
What're you doing here?
Well, uh, l-
656
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:27,253
l-I was just looking for a little
background on Mr. Bennett. What's this about?
657
00:40:27,325 --> 00:40:29,520
I told you.
I knowwhat you told me.
658
00:40:29,594 --> 00:40:33,121
Don't try to con a newshound,
Mrs. Fletcher, especially one with a lot of miles on him.
659
00:40:35,767 --> 00:40:39,533
Kay Garrett.
You've known her for a long time, haven't you?
660
00:40:39,604 --> 00:40:42,505
No, I met her two years ago,
when I hired her.
661
00:40:42,574 --> 00:40:47,136
I don't think so, Mr. Simms.
I think you've known Kay since the day that she was born.
662
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:51,742
I think you also knowLamar Bennettwas her father.
663
00:40:51,816 --> 00:40:54,944
- Who told you that?
- You brought Kay on to the Sentinel...
664
00:40:55,019 --> 00:40:59,615
in the hopes of bringing
them together, somehow making an honest man of Bennett.
665
00:41:00,725 --> 00:41:03,717
[Chuckles]
You make a pretty good reporter, you know.
666
00:41:03,795 --> 00:41:06,093
Yeah, I knew it.
667
00:41:07,198 --> 00:41:10,429
I was disappointed the way
that he brushed her off.
668
00:41:10,502 --> 00:41:12,993
I think you were more
than disappointed.
669
00:41:13,071 --> 00:41:15,164
I think you were angry.
670
00:41:15,240 --> 00:41:18,004
For 25 years,
you've been angry...
671
00:41:18,076 --> 00:41:21,807
until finally you couldn't
handle it anymore, and you had to kill him.
672
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:26,579
Oh, Mrs. Fletcher,
that is just plain horse manure.
673
00:41:26,651 --> 00:41:29,313
I mean, he died at the banquet.
I was where, here?
674
00:41:29,387 --> 00:41:31,821
14 blocks away,getting outthe bulldog edition.
675
00:41:31,890 --> 00:41:35,121
Yes, but Mr. Bennett
was actually murdered in two different places.
676
00:41:35,193 --> 00:41:38,219
The most lethal half of the dose
was administered right here,
677
00:41:38,296 --> 00:41:40,696
during the editorial meeting.
678
00:41:40,765 --> 00:41:44,531
That's when you gave himthe pill containingthe methylthionate.
679
00:41:44,602 --> 00:41:46,661
[Laughs]
680
00:41:46,738 --> 00:41:48,797
Now you're really
blowin' smoke.
681
00:41:48,873 --> 00:41:52,001
The only pill that Bennett took
was from Clyde's bottle of sinus medicine.
682
00:41:52,076 --> 00:41:56,035
Yes, that's what I'd assumed,
Billy, until a short time ago.
683
00:41:57,815 --> 00:42:00,841
When I saw how easily
Haskell Drake fooled his nurse into believing...
684
00:42:00,919 --> 00:42:03,444
he'd taken his pills
by simply palming them.
685
00:42:03,521 --> 00:42:06,388
Oh, man.
In the editorial conference,
686
00:42:06,457 --> 00:42:08,789
you knew it was nearly time
for Mr. Bennett's medication,
687
00:42:08,860 --> 00:42:11,385
so you sent Clyde Thorson
out of the room on an errand.
688
00:42:11,462 --> 00:42:14,260
Naturally,Clyde left the pill bottle.
689
00:42:14,332 --> 00:42:16,197
And when Mr. Bennettrequested his medication,
690
00:42:16,267 --> 00:42:20,465
you obliged by appearingto dump the tablet into his hand.But instead,
691
00:42:20,538 --> 00:42:24,998
you slipped himthe methylthionate pillyou had already palmed.
692
00:42:25,076 --> 00:42:27,806
Then, it was simply a matterof Mr. Bennett going outto the banquet...
693
00:42:27,879 --> 00:42:29,870
and when he consumed
something alcoholic,
694
00:42:29,948 --> 00:42:32,610
the poisonous solution
was formed, inside his body.
695
00:42:32,684 --> 00:42:35,482
Well, there's no
evidence of that. Oh, but there is.
696
00:42:35,553 --> 00:42:39,148
If you'd actually been
giving him a sinus pill,
697
00:42:39,223 --> 00:42:41,691
that medication would've
shown up in his bloodstream.
698
00:42:41,759 --> 00:42:43,249
It didn't.
699
00:42:43,328 --> 00:42:45,387
You can't prove anything.
There's more,I'm afraid.
700
00:42:46,898 --> 00:42:49,924
In your story about
Mr. Bennett's sudden death,
701
00:42:50,001 --> 00:42:53,767
- you stated the cause of death
was a cerebral hemorrhage. - That's what it was.
702
00:42:53,838 --> 00:42:58,434
Yes, but that fact wasn't known
till the autopsy was completed...
703
00:42:58,509 --> 00:43:01,501
about an hour after
the bulldog edition was on the street,
704
00:43:01,579 --> 00:43:06,107
unless you knew in advancethe effects of the methylthionateand alcohol together.
705
00:43:06,184 --> 00:43:09,381
Kay told me how he died
when she phoned in the story just before we went to press.
706
00:43:09,454 --> 00:43:10,944
That's not true.
707
00:43:11,022 --> 00:43:12,580
I was there.
708
00:43:12,657 --> 00:43:15,854
He just suddenly turned red.
Then he seemed to have trouble breathing.
709
00:43:15,927 --> 00:43:18,623
Then he keeled over.
There'll be an autopsy.
710
00:43:18,696 --> 00:43:22,655
Okay, okay, okay.
711
00:43:24,335 --> 00:43:27,827
Oh, God.
I did it.
712
00:43:27,905 --> 00:43:31,033
About-About three weeks ago,
713
00:43:31,109 --> 00:43:35,705
I tried to work up the courageto tell him who Kay really was.
714
00:43:36,781 --> 00:43:40,717
I kept putting it off
because I was afraid.
715
00:43:41,786 --> 00:43:45,813
When I finally screwed up
my guts to tell him,
716
00:43:45,890 --> 00:43:49,155
and he told me, warned me
never ever to mention it again to anyone.
717
00:43:50,495 --> 00:43:52,963
I watched her grow up,Mrs. Fletcher.
718
00:43:53,031 --> 00:43:57,024
I saw her turn into
a fine young woman.
719
00:43:57,101 --> 00:44:00,764
She's bright and talented
and independent.
720
00:44:00,838 --> 00:44:04,137
I figured she deserved
his recognition.
721
00:44:04,208 --> 00:44:06,369
Then Kay doesn't know?
722
00:44:08,913 --> 00:44:11,143
Her mother, Olivia,
723
00:44:11,215 --> 00:44:15,675
she was the only one
who could ever stand up to Bennett.
724
00:44:15,753 --> 00:44:18,153
He offered to marry her.
She turned him down.
725
00:44:19,357 --> 00:44:21,985
Must have transferredhis hatred for her on to Kay.
726
00:44:22,060 --> 00:44:24,824
He told me to fire her,
discredit her.
727
00:44:25,863 --> 00:44:29,697
Oh, Mrs. Fletcher.
[Sobs]
728
00:44:30,968 --> 00:44:35,837
L-I sold out my whole life
to that man.
729
00:44:35,907 --> 00:44:39,502
But well, you-you
get to a point...
730
00:44:39,577 --> 00:44:43,172
where you just can't
take that final step.
731
00:44:46,584 --> 00:44:49,917
I knew if I stuck with you long enough,
you'd show me who did it, Mrs. Fletcher.
732
00:44:49,987 --> 00:44:51,716
No, Clyde. Don't.
733
00:44:51,789 --> 00:44:54,121
I don't wanna hurt you.
You just stay outta this.
734
00:44:54,192 --> 00:44:56,217
Killing Mr. Simms won't
make you feel better.
735
00:44:57,328 --> 00:44:59,694
Billy.
736
00:44:59,764 --> 00:45:04,758
Billy, he treated you good,
treated me good. Did he really, Clyde?
737
00:45:04,836 --> 00:45:07,896
If you heard Billy
confess to the murder, you also heard why.
738
00:45:07,972 --> 00:45:10,907
You know how manypeople he's hurt,
739
00:45:10,975 --> 00:45:14,433
notjust the victims ofhis stories, but the peoplewho were close to him.
740
00:45:14,512 --> 00:45:16,377
Like-Like Kay and Billy.
741
00:45:18,816 --> 00:45:20,750
He never hurt me.
742
00:45:22,820 --> 00:45:25,482
Please believe me.
743
00:45:25,556 --> 00:45:27,786
I understand how you feel,
744
00:45:27,859 --> 00:45:29,986
how much you loved
the good thing about him,
745
00:45:30,061 --> 00:45:32,723
but admitting the truth
doesn't mean you can't keep those memories.
746
00:45:36,300 --> 00:45:38,928
Mr. Bennett's gone, Clyde.
747
00:45:39,003 --> 00:45:41,767
It's time to get on
with your life.
748
00:45:42,940 --> 00:45:45,932
Let the courts punishMr. Simms.
749
00:45:55,319 --> 00:45:58,584
[Jessica]Perry and his father are backin command at the Sentinel.
750
00:45:58,656 --> 00:46:02,114
Walter has promised
to stay out of Perry's editorial domain...
751
00:46:02,193 --> 00:46:04,491
and do what he does best,
which is reporting.
752
00:46:04,562 --> 00:46:07,929
Oh, and Eleanor is coming
on board to learn the business.
753
00:46:07,999 --> 00:46:11,491
Wonderful.
Are you finished? No.
754
00:46:11,569 --> 00:46:15,528
Kay has finally come to terms
with the fact that Lamar Bennett was her father.
755
00:46:15,606 --> 00:46:17,597
I think she and Perry
are going to be married.
756
00:46:17,675 --> 00:46:21,008
You know one of these days
I have the feeling she's going to run for office.
757
00:46:21,078 --> 00:46:23,046
All right,
now I'm finished.
758
00:46:23,114 --> 00:46:26,242
Now, hold on
to your hairdo.
759
00:46:26,317 --> 00:46:30,276
Our story on Lamar Bennett
has been picked up by Worldwide.
760
00:46:30,354 --> 00:46:32,788
That's fantastic.
761
00:46:32,857 --> 00:46:35,519
Quiet.
I'm not finished yet.
762
00:46:35,593 --> 00:46:38,994
I have been offered
a big overseas assignment...
763
00:46:39,063 --> 00:46:42,692
in Hong Kong, Singapore
and Bangkok-
764
00:46:42,767 --> 00:46:46,032
Oh.
By Newsmonth, no less.
765
00:46:46,103 --> 00:46:49,163
Haskell, that's marvelous.
When?
766
00:46:49,240 --> 00:46:52,767
Oh, well, um, as soon as
you hand me my trousers.
767
00:46:52,844 --> 00:46:55,176
And by the way,
you can tag along if you want to.
768
00:46:55,246 --> 00:46:58,647
I figure that, uh, a couple of
years of hard work,
769
00:46:58,716 --> 00:47:02,083
who knows, you may turn into
a half-decent newspaperman.
