All language subtitles for Matlock s07e08 The Mark

Last night I dug a picture out from my
old dresser drawer.

Set it on the table and I talked to it
till four.

I read some old love letters right up
till the break of dawn.

I've been sitting alone digging up
bones.

Then I went through the jewelry and I
found our wedding ring.

I put mine on.

a finger and I gave yours a fling across
this lonely bedroom of our

recent broken home. Yeah, tonight I'm
sitting alone digging up bones.

I'm digging up bones.

I'm digging up bones. There's too many
things that better left

alone.

Yeah, tonight I'm sitting alone, digging
up bones.

I'm digging up bones.

There's too many things that's better
left alone.

I'm resurrecting memories of a love
that's dead and gone.

Yeah, tonight I'm sitting alone, digging
up bones.

Thank y 'all very much.

I paid you to work here, Billy boy.

I thought you said I could sit in when
we weren't busy.

See all these people here?

Guess what?

I get off around the corner.

I don't know, Kelly. I have to be at
work in the morning.

Lily, turn that TV on, quick.

Oh, wait, wait.

Here are the winning numbers for this
week's Golden Peaks Lottery.

Jackpot worth $3 million.

The winning numbers are 14, 24, 39, Oh,
baby.

56, Dr. Papa. 57, and 6.

Yes!

Wallpaper's peeling in the dining room.

Yeah, I'll get some paste and patches.

We could use new wallpaper.

Then the paint would look shabby.

A new paint job wouldn't hurt either.

Well, then I'd have to fix the floors
and get new rugs, new furniture.

Next thing you know, I'd spend a
fortune. Might as well buy a new house.

Wallpaper paste is just $3 .95.

I could mix you up some flour and water
for 13 cents.

You could?

What's that?

Hey, remember me?

Why, Billy, I say I do.

Leanne, listen.

Billy Wheely, my daughter Leanne.

Hi, Billy.

Oh, my goodness.

You were talking about the old house.
Billy gave it a paint job. What was it,

about a year ago?

Yeah. I'm not a real painter. Oh, but
he's a fine singer.

Well, hey, I got something for you.

Uh, $67 .12.

Remember, you bought the bus ticket home
for me.

Yeah.

The only thing you... used to own was a
guitar. Where'd you get that?

Well, I won the lottery. Can you believe
it? No.

Yeah. A bunch of other people did too,
but I won $250 ,000.

$250 ,000?

Well, that's how you got that?

Yeah. Oh.

Well, what are you going to do now?

Well, I'm going to ride around for a
while in my new truck, see the country,

visit some friends, and you are my first
stop.

New River Train? Yeah, that's a good
one.

One, two, three.

Riding on that new river train Riding on
that new river

train That same old train that brought
me here Is

You can't love two You can't love two
And your little heart be

true Darling, you can't love two Riding

I was a slow painter, but I did a pretty
good job, didn't I? Yeah.

Do you do wallpapering?

Hey, Billy, over here.

Hey, Doc.

How are you doing, man? Good.

Give my friend the biggest soda you got.

Hey,

listen, we're going on about half an
hour. You want to sit in with us?

Yeah, I'd love to.

Oh, I heard about you.

Nobody deserved it more.

Well, nobody needed it more.

To the lottery. I'll drink to that.

Oh,

excuse me. I'll catch you.

Oh! Oh!

I'm so sorry. Are you okay?

Yeah, I think so.

Oh, you're soaking wet. I'm really
sorry. That's okay.

Uh, here.

Let me have it cleaned for you, or buy
you a new one.

It's really all right.

But it's my fault.

Look, I knocked your watch on the floor.

Oh.

Is it still running?

No, stop.

I'll have it fixed for you. No, you
don't have to do that.

Here, you must be freezing. Let me put
this on you.

I'm sorry.

You really are sorry, aren't you?

I'm very sorry. And your watch.

I'll take it to a jeweler, and I'll
bring it back brand new.

All right.

I'm Judy Wilson, and I'll give you my
address and my phone number.

And you are?

I'm Billy Wheeler. I'm kind of from out
of town, but I'm going to stay here in

Atlanta until I bring you your watch.

I'm real sorry.

And how do I get a hold of you?

Oh.

Um, I'll tell you what.

I'll go rent a place right now, and then
I'll call you with my phone.

Or, uh, if you'll have dinner with me,
I'll give it to you then.

I'd love to.

But I can't. I have a business meeting
after I change.

So you'll call me and you'll let me know
where you are?

You bet.

They couldn't fix your watch.

Oh. So I got one to replace it.

Oh. Oh, Billy.

To Judy Wilson from Billy Wheeler.

I can't take this.

Well, I can't take it back.

Does that mean you'll have lunch with
me?

I'm sorry, I can't. I have another
business meeting.

What do you do?

Three other people and I are trying to
get a nightclub going. Country western

place. Live music, dancing, beer, you
know. Yeah?

Thinking of calling it the country club.
What do you think?

Can I see it?

Hello, Jack.

We got a meeting. Thought we'd go
together.

Billy Wheeler, Jack Howard.

Jack, good to meet you.

Come on, let's go.

We're just business partners, Jack.

It's over between us. I told you that.

Let's go. Let go of me. Hey, Jack.

You all right? I didn't mean to hit you
like that.

I told you, Jack. Now are you satisfied?

I'm sorry.

You'll be sorry.

You'll be sorry.

You can't do that. We've got

a deal.

But look, you at least have to give us a
chance.

No, wait, please, let me...

How could he do this to us?

So this is it. I found these lamps at an
estate sale.

This is the longest bar in the South.

Paul's Brass is from Ireland.

Hi, guys.

I'd like you to meet a friend of mine,
Billy Wheeler.

Billy, these are two of my partners,
Larry Boo and Franklin.

Billy?

What's wrong?

Do excuse us for a minute. Sure.

I'll just get off the phone.

He's pulling out.

What do you mean he's pulling out? He's
been to the bank. He's withdrawn his

investment. Why would he do such a
thing? We're only a week away from

Oh, my God. It's my fault.

It is?

Well, I could dump him.

He said I'd be sorry. I had no idea he'd
do anything like this.

Here. Call him.

Tell him you're sorry. Tell him
anything.

Without Jack's money, we can't open. And
if we don't open, our money goes right

down the toilet.

I heard your conversation.

And if you need another partner, I
wouldn't mind investing in a place like

Oh, really? This may be a little over
your head.

We'll find another way to raise the
money.

Some time to pay everyone and open the
club?

No, that's a problem.

Big problem.

Well, I might go in with you.

We're talking serious money here.

Is $200 ,000 serious enough?

You have $200 ,000?

Yeah, I won the lottery last month.

You never told me that.

Well, you never asked me.

Billy, are you sure you want to do this?

If I go in with you all, would you mind
if once or twice a week I fit in with

the band?

Well, Billy, for $200 ,000, you own the
band.

What's going on?

A contractor got a court order to shut
us down.

What? He hasn't been paid. Why not?

Because Judy conned him, just like she
conned us. What are you talking about?

She never paid him or any of our
suppliers. She just strung him along and

to us.

Just like she lied to us.

Judy wouldn't do that. She would and she
did, cowboy.

All the money we gave her?

Gone. And so she?

No, no, no. She's not gone.

There's been a mistake.

Jim!

No!

Place your hands on the steering wheel,
please.

Maybe you'd better step outside. Nice
and slow, please.

Send it in care of the burning jail.

Send it in care.

That sweet and honest had a rap sheet as
long as your arm. Her specialty was

romancing young fellas like you out of
their money.

But when I met her, she didn't know I
had money.

The lottery, Billy.

The lottery.

Excuse me.

Your name was in the paper. Your
picture, too.

It just seemed so hard to believe.

She was a con artist.

And the prosecution is going to claim
that when you found out, you got madder

than hell and shot her to death.

I didn't shoot her. I never even owned a
gun. Your fingerprints were on that

gun. Yeah, but I... And on the walls of
the hall, on the floor, by the victim's

body. And you were seen leaving the
scene of the crime in a... Powerful

And Judy's blood was on your clothes
when they picked you up.

I was coming to your house.

The neighbor called the cops. I wish you
had.

I wasn't thinking right after seeing
Judy dead like that.

Yeah.

I didn't kill her.

I know.

I couldn't.

I know.

All you can do is be insane.

You think I have a chance?

Uh, well... You

have a chance.

I... I'll leave the mail here.

Boy, she rented this house?

Two months, paid cash.

She told me she owned it. Yeah, as far
as the con.

And causing you to spill that soda on
her was part of the con, too. Yeah. You

got a key?

Yep.

Now, the door was unlocked when you got
here?

It was open.

Well, you have to tell her everything
you did.

I don't want to go in there.

You have to.

There weren't any lights on, so I felt
my way along the wall until I found the

switch. Yeah.

Where was the gun?

Well, it was beside Judy, and I pushed
it out of the way when I knelt down by

her.

Look at this.

That probably belonged to Jack, her ex
-boyfriend.

Why don't I go see Judy's partners and
I'll meet you at the gym in about an

hour? Okay.

So that's hard

to believe. Judy was making cash
withdrawals to herself instead of

checks to your suppliers and you had no
idea.

None. She kept the books.

Whenever we looked at them, they always
looked fine.

I know who did it.

So you didn't know anything was wrong
until you came here opening night and

found the sheriff taking the place
apart?

Not a clue.

Well, somebody did.

Somebody knew something was wrong and
killed Judy before they came here that

night. Yeah.

I know who that was.

Hi, Leanne. I saw your car. Hey.

I want my money.

I don't have your money. Come on.

Money you stole from Judy when you
killed her.

Cut it out.

I don't give a damn about you killing
her, but I want my 150 grand back. So

let's go.

Come on.

Okay.

Okay. Okay.

I didn't kill Judy and I don't have your
money. Yeah, right.

I'm going to get my money back, cowboy.

One way or the other.

You're more than welcome.

Let's go find Jack.

All right.

Woo!

He sounds just like that guy.

As a matter of fact, you're a little
better.

Have you ever thought of singing for a
living?

No, I don't know. I guess I'm afraid if
I tried and didn't make it, I wouldn't

have anything left to dream about.

Oh, come on. If that hillbilly can make
it, you can too.

Oh, there he is.

Let's go.

Hello, Jack.

You're the guy that killed Judy.

They think I killed Judy.

I want to apologize for taking a swing
at you that day.

You did.

Hell, if I hadn't got ticked off with
Judy that day, I'd lost my shirt just

you guys.

Hi, I'm Leanne McIntyre. I'm one of
Billy's attorneys.

Ma 'am? If you don't mind me asking,
what do you do that you would have $100

,000 to invest?

Work construction saved my money.

Never date women that can't pay their
own way.

When was the last time you saw Judy?

The day Billy decked me.

Now, don't take this the wrong way,
but... She needs to know where you were

about four to six on the day Judy was
murdered.

I got the movie.

By yourself?

With a girl. What was her name?

Shirley Hutchinson.

She worked for a living?

She worked at Rowdy's Bar.

What movie did you see?

Last Mexican.

Well, it was nice to talk to you.

Yes, ma 'am. See you around.

Nice talking to you. Should we go?

Bye.

Thanks for the lift.

Excuse me, ma 'am. I have some business
with the boss.

Mr. Boone?

What do you want, you son of a bitch?
Why'd you bust my guitar? Hey, cut it

You broke into my room with that money,
didn't you? No. You broke into my room.

Smash my guitar.

You better get out of here, cowboy.

Police are coming.

Let them come.

Billy, I just hate bailing clients out
of jail in the middle of the night.

Why'd they arrest me? Why didn't they
arrest Larry Boone?

Because he wasn't trespassing. He was in
his house and you were beating the hell

out of him. Well, he broke into my room.

No, he didn't.

How do you know?

Because I had him follow him since he
beat you up earlier today.

He was in his office, then he went home.

And he was nowhere near your room.

Well, whoever did broke my guitar.

Broke it all to pieces.

Well, come on.

Well, Billy Wheeler's room was
ransacked.

It was ransacked sometime yesterday
afternoon.

I thought you might know something about
that.

Now, why would you think that?

Well, whoever did it was probably
looking for the money that Judy withdrew

the bank before she was killed.

That money belonged to you.

It also belonged to Larry Boone.

Yes, but he doesn't have that from that
big old oak tree outside of Billy's

boarding house all over the hood of his
car.

You'll have to excuse me.

I have a meeting.

You know, I wouldn't worry about it if I
were you. I mean, if you did break into

Billy's room and you were looking for
that money, that means you don't have

money. And if you don't have the money,
that means you didn't kill Judy.

Well, I wouldn't know anything about
that. Besides, there are oak trees all

this city.

Oh, by the way, I heard Billy's guitar
was all busted up.

Tell him no harm was meant.

Shirley Huckie.

Hi. Hi.

Can I sit here?

Well, there's a clean one right over
there.

Good. I kind of like this one.

Suit yourself, then.

What can I get you?

Oh, club soda would be fine.

Right. You know, the real reason I
wanted to sit here was so you'd be my

waitress. I think you're real pretty.

My name's Shirley.

Whenever you need anything, you just
tell her.

I'm Billy.

How about going to a movie with me?

Excuse me?

Last of the Mohicans.

Supposed to be a good one.

I don't think so.

You've already seen it?

No.

Mind taking your hand off my arm?

Yeah, yeah.

Jack Howard lied.

Oh. Yeah, he said he took the fletchers
to see the last of the Mohicans, and I

just talked to her, and she said she
hadn't seen it, so he lied. He must be

one who killed Judy.

Yeah, yeah. You know, it always kind of
bothered me that you didn't put your

money into the club till he took his
money out.

Do you think he and Judy were working
together?

It's altogether possible.

I wish I'd have hit him harder. Yeah.

Well, let's see where we are.

We know you were conned. Yeah.

We only think that Jack may have been
part of it. Yeah.

And we have a pretty good idea who
busted up your guitar.

We do? Yeah.

And we know what to do about that.

You do? Yeah.

Yeah.

This is an old one of mine, but a good
one.

I had it restrung for you.

You mean... Yeah.

Play something.

I'm getting out of this high rise
penthouse suite.

Where we pretend life's rosy and sweet
Going back to the

folks that I used to know Where everyone
is what they seem to

be I'm going back to a better class of
losers

This uptown livin' really got me down

I need friends who don't pay their bills
on home computers And they buy their

coffee beans already ground And you
think it's disgraceful that they

drank three -dollar wine But a better
class of

losers suits me fine Yes, a better class
of losers

just suits me fine

He's leaving.

It's all right. We'll follow him.

I know where we are. That's Larry
Boone's house.

Who do you think that is?

I don't know. I can't tell.

I don't know what they're up to.

No good if you ask me.

So what'd they say?

They were Judy's partners.

Their original mark was Larry Boone. You
were an afterthought.

They broke into his place for the same
reason they broke into yours. They were

looking for that $350 ,000 they were
going to split with Judy. So neither of

them killed her?

They were in the lounge of the Riverview
Inn celebrating that she was killed.

The bartender remembers them vividly.
They tipped him on the box.

If they don't have the money...

And Larry Boone was ready to punch me
out because he doesn't have the money.

And I know I don't have the money.

Benny, somebody's got the money.

Yeah, yeah.

There's the gun.

Pictures of the scene of the crime.

Stuff that was in her purse.

Go through that. Yeah, see if there's
anything in there that looks odd to you.

And this is the suitcase she's going to
take with her.

Okay.

Huh.

What?

Your Honor,

Mr. Prosecutor, I wonder if I might have
a few moments of supposition.

Objection. Your Honor, I have to start
something.

Objection. Your Honor, just be a few
moments, and then I'll just move right

along.

Mr. Matlock, proceed.

But if I find down the road that you've
been messing with me... Your Honor,

I've done a lot of foolish things in my
time.

But I would never, I say never, mess
with you.

Proceed.

Mr. Boone, we, that is, we, the defense,

started this investigation with the
belief that Judy Wilson might have been

killed by one of three men, Mr.
Franklin, Mr. Howard, or you.

Not me.

Well, the other two have ironclad
alibis. You do not.

I was home all afternoon that day
watching TV.

You could ask my housekeeper. I did.

She said she heard the TV, but she never
saw you. So, no alibi.

Well, I was there.

Well, this is a picture of Judy Wilson
taken

the night before she was killed.

Did you know her?

Of course.

She was Ken Franklin's partner.

Yeah. They took you for $150 ,000,
didn't they? How did you feel

about that?

Not too happy. Yeah.

So what first made you suspicious?

It was opening night.

Sheriff's deputies came in and closed us
down.

And you believed at that time that she
had made off with your money, didn't

And my clients and Mr. Franklin.

Yes.

Mr. Boone, did you know any of the
workmen before they started on the club?

No.

How about Orville Hogan? Did you know
him?

He's a carpenter.

He says that he did some work on your
house earlier.

Fortunately for us, he's here. Maybe
you'll remember him if he stands up.

Of course, I know Mr. Hogan. Yeah, thank
you. It took some doing to find Mr.

Hogan, but he's prepared to testify that
he called you around 1 o 'clock the day

Ms. Wilson was killed and told you that
he had never been paid and none of the

other workmen had ever been paid.

Did Mr.

Hogan call you and tell you that?

Yeah.

What difference does it make? I told
you, I was home all day watching TV.

Yeah, I know you said that. I was
watching a football game. Yeah, and your

housekeeper heard the TV, but she didn't
see you.

All she had to do was come into the TV
room.

Sure, sure.

After Mr.

Hogan called you, you left your house,
didn't you?

No.

Bailiff?

Thank you.

This suitcase belonged to Judy Wilson.

It was all packed and ready to go when
she was killed.

Did you ever see it before?

Nope.

This suitcase contained only clothes.

Did you ever travel with a woman, Mr.
Boone?

Well, yeah.

Then you know that usually when women
travel, they take

more than just clothes. They take hair
curlers and cosmetic shoes and

hairspray and earrings.

This is only clothes.

It only took me a minute to figure out
that she had packed more than one

suitcase.

Where was her other suitcase?

I searched all through her house, her
garage, her car.

Not as much as a shoe bag.

So, where do you suppose that other
suitcase was?

How should I know?

The killer had it.

Yeah, along with the hair curlers,
cosmetics, shoes and spray and earrings.

She packed... The money in that
suitcase.

So, we went to your house this morning,
along with the police.

Guess what we found?

Nothing. Well, not quite.

Not quite.

We didn't find the suitcase, and we
didn't find the money.

But we did find this watch.

It's solid gold.

And inscribed on the back is to Judy
Wilson from Billy Wheeler.

The defendant, Billy Wheeler, gave this
to Judy Wilson.

She was wearing it the night before she
was killed.

Yet this morning it was found in your
bedroom.

How do you suppose it got there?

I'll tell you how I think it got there.

I think after Mr. Hogan called you, you
drove over to Julie's house, killed her,

took the suitcase with the money, then
got rid of any incriminating evidence or

hid it, got rid of everything except
this watch.

Now, why?

Why you kept the watch?

I don't know.

But I'm kind of glad you did, because
this watch...

He's going to get Billy Wheeler back his
money.

And he's going to put you in prison.

Your Honor, thank you for those few
moments of supposition.

Georgia, I want to be back in Tennessee.

Way down in Columbus, okay.

Friends have turned their back on me.

Go and leave me if you wish to.

Never let me cross your mind and your
heart.

What do you think?

Not bad. Not bad at all, partner.

Think he's as good at picking and saying
as pushing beer?

Better. You going to keep him up there?

Yep. For as long as I can.

As I lay sleeping, I dreamed I held you
in my arms.

As I walked,

I wasn't taken.

Cause I was creeping through those bars.

If you wish to Never let me cross your
mind In

your heart You love another Go and leave
me little darling I

don't mind Go and leave me little
darling I don't mind
