You're doing very well. A little
bruising and swelling. You're perfectly

Just continue taking it easy.

See you in about two weeks, okay?

I just want to die every time I look in
the mirror.

How could he have done that to me?

You'll feel better after you talk to Dr.
West.

Please sit down.

The doctor will be right here.

Hello, Dr. Clark.

What's that?

I'm ready if you are.

I think you're going to be very pleased.

I want to see if I can make the swelling
under your chin go down a bit faster.

A couple of things they need, I'll be
right back.

Hey, darling.

You're a genius.

Thank you.

What you see now is not what you're
going to see in six weeks. I assure you.

wanted a nose like Elizabeth Taylor's
now. Look.

I am going to hit you with a malpractice
suit the likes of which you have never

seen. Miss Ferguson, please. You're
overreacting.

Oh, what's the use?

She's an emotional wreck. You should
never have operated on her.

Maybe the way I scream, my patience
leaves something to be desired.

But it seems to me you have the same
problem.

I do?

We need to talk, Lowell.

Tonight.

Who am I? It's not going to happen.

Good morning, Miss Ferguson.

My name is Dr. Lowell Carr.

I'm Dr.

Weston's partner at the Plastic Surgery
Clinic.

Yes? I understand you're unhappy with
the rhinoplasty that he performed. I

wondered if I might have the opportunity
to talk to you about it. You're not

going to change my mind. I assure you.

This will only take a moment.

Your paper.

Ooh! The coffee smells wonderful.

Would there be another cup where that
came from?

Of course.

You want sugar?

Black's fine, thanks.

All right.

I'd like to propose that before you take
any legal action, you and I get

together and see if we can find a more
constructive way to rectify the

situation. What do you mean?

Well, for instance, I could reconstruct
the nose.

And if there's a problem with some other
anatomical feature, I could fix that,

too.

Are you saying that if I drop the
malpractice suit, you'll give me a free

tuck or something?

My goal is to see you satisfied.

I don't want to keep you.

Why don't you think about it, and I'll
give you a call this evening.

I should be home around 7 .30.

No, I have a dinner tonight.

Why don't you call the office tomorrow,
and I'll tell Laura to squeeze you in

this week.

Thanks for the coffee.

And thanks for coming by.

Oh, thank you.

Oh,

I just saw your piece on your new skin
grafting procedure in the journal. It

terrific. Well, thank you. I'd like to
see your notes on the procedure.

Oh, send them over first thing tomorrow.
If you agree that we stop talking shop,

buy me a drink. Deal.

Miss Ferguson?

Miss Ferguson?

It's me, Dr. Weston.

Yes, that's my knife, but I don't know
how it ended up in Dr.

Weston's back or how he ended up in my
house, for that matter. We found this in

his pocket.

Seems someone named Doreen Ferguson
called him at 4 .30 this afternoon and

him to come to this address at 7 .15
tonight.

I didn't leave a message like that.

But you are one of his patients.

Was.

I was, yes.

I went to him for a nose job. I wanted
him to make my nose smaller and make it

go up. instead of down, but thanks to
that charlatan, I went from having a

to having a snout.

Oh, my God.

You think I killed him?

Well, for the sake of argument, where
were you around 7 .15 tonight?

I was closing up the antique store I
work at down on Ballard Street. Anybody

you? You bet someone saw me, the cretin
who rear -ended me when I pulled out of

the parking lot. In fact...

Here, here is his name.

Here is his phone number. Here is his
insurance company. Oh, oh, and here is

the badge number of the police officer
who stopped to make sure everything was

okay.

Any other questions?

Nope.

Dr. West, someone murdered him in my
home to make it look like I did it.

Oh, my God, Doreen.

Miss, do you remember seeing or hearing
anything unusual around 7, 7 .30?

Um,

uh, oh, yes.

Actually, I saw a man go through the
door right about that time.

Can you describe him?

Um, he was the same man that was here
this morning. You know, right before you

went to work. We keep an eye on each
other.

No attractive single women living alone
cannot be too careful. Well, who would

that have been, Miss Ferguson?

Dr. Carr?

I was at her house yesterday morning.

Yes, but not last night, no.

But were you at home last night?

No, I was at the Southern Association of
Physicians' dinner meeting at the

American Hotel with a couple hundred
other doctors.

In fact, I was holding a seat for Scott.
He said he'd be late.

He never showed.

Now I know why.

You two get along?

Well, we're friends.

Bob, Lowell's worked quite a few
miracles in his career, but even he

two places at once.

Yeah. Well, that was dark. The neighbor
must have mistaken him for somebody

else.

I can go back to my office?

Sure, I'll even drive you.

You got a sunblock?

Looks like I'm going to the beach.

Dr. Carr took something off my cheek a
couple months back.

It wasn't skin cancer, but it could have
been. Ever since then, sunblock.

Ozone layer's going to make a comeback.

You watch.

That's Gary.

He's my brother.

We're twins.

Loa left a message on my answering
machine saying the police were taking

questioning, so I got down there as fast
as I could.

Are you a doctor also?

Oh, no, ma 'am. I own a... Tune -up
shop.

We docked the cars.

And did you know the victim, Dr. Weston?

Yes, of course.

Did you mean to ask Gary here that
question?

Oh, you're Gary.

Very few people can keep us straight.

Yes. Let's see.

When did you arrive at the Southern
Association of Physicians meeting last

night?

I wasn't at the Southern Association of
Physicians meeting.

Dr. Carr, would you please stand up?

Thank you.

Now, Gary, did you know the victim, Dr.
Weston?

Well, no, no, not really, no.

Where were you from 7 to 8 o 'clock last
night?

I was in my office at the tune -up shop
with one of my suppliers.

Thank you.

Now, Lowell, where were you from 7 to 8
o 'clock last night?

I was having drinks in the ballroom of
the American Hotel.

Your nurse told the police that she
overheard an argument between you and

West in the night before the murder,
something concerning the breakup of your

partnership.

It was a discussion, not an argument.

Well, it was a heated discussion, wasn't
it?

A heated discussion, yes.

Oh, you can sit down now.

I don't have any more questions,
Lieutenant.

However, I would like to speak with Mr.
Matlock outside, please.

I've never seen anything like this. Oh,
I know.

Lowell committed that murder.

It's perfect. He's got an identical
twin.

nobody's going to be able to say for
sure who came out of that house.

You think so? And then he tries to frame
somebody to boot, just making a mockery

out of the system. I really hate that.

Julie, the man's got an airtight alibi.
Oh, come on, Ben. It's easy for somebody

to get out of a party and then slip back
in unnoticed.

You're the one who's always pointing
that out in court. And even if there

people with Lowell at that dinner...

How do we know it was Lowell and not his
brother?

Well, how do we know the person the
neighbor saw was Lowell? Using that

it could have been Gary. No, Gary didn't
have motive.

Lowell did.

Julie, I just have a problem.

Ben, you and I have spent our entire
working lives as officers of the court

upholding the system of justice. I'm
sorry, but that man is making fools out

us.

And I'm going to prove it.

Did Gary ever speak to Dr. Weston? Well,
he may say hi to Scott when he'd come

to pick me up for lunch or something,
but that was about it.

They didn't socialize? No, never. Why
are you asking me all these questions

about Gary?

Well, if the neighbor thought she saw
you coming out of that house, it could

have been your twin.

No, never.

My brother couldn't commit the murder.

Hands will have to see what she's got.
Boy, this is something.

You did this.

Yeah, I did.

You're pretty good.

Bet you're pretty expensive, too.

So are you.

Maybe we could work at a trade.

Do you need your services for mine?

Well, physical appearances are not
inconsequential in your line of work.

Well... I've always been quite satisfied
with my parents.

Oh, don't take offense.

As we say in my line of work, a little
lift gives you quite a lift.

Why don't you take the book home, look
at the before and after pictures, and

if it gives you some ideas.

No.

Coming or going? Going.

What's this?

Oh, it's a book this plastic surgeon
gave me. I'm representing him.

Well, you know, it might not be a bad
idea at that.

What?

Well, look at yourself.

Look at those crow's feet. The lines on
your face.

You're getting there, pal.

Couple more years.

You think so?

Oh, yeah.

Now, I, on the other hand, will never
need plastic surgery because I'll never

wrinkle.

Why? Skin pigmentation.

See? I happen to have this yellowish
skin pigmentation that blots out

the sun's rays.

So? I'll never wrinkle.

You know, it's true. There are people
with a yellowish pigmentation. It's

natural.

But, Les, your yellowish pigmentation
could be a sign of

jaundice.

What are you talking about?

Jaundice. And the yellow is not just in
the skin. It's in the whites of the

eyes.

Yep.

You had your liver checked lately.

See, jaundice is a symptom. It could be
a sign of something else wrong with you.

Anemia, poor circulation, pneumonia.

It's probably nothing to worry about,
but why don't we look in the phone book,

see if we can find a specialist on liver
diseases.

You'll get checked out, and then you'll
be...

All right.

How long have you been tuning up there?

Close to a year now.

Doing all right.

You want a soda or something?

No, no, thanks.

I think before that it was the ice cream
business.

Yeah. And before that you owned the dry
cleaners? Yes, sir, I did. And before

that it was a Christmas tree farm.

I've been having a little trouble
finding myself now.

Unlike your brother who made it right
away.

You jealous?

No, no, I'm not the...

I'm not the jealous type, no.

We get along well. Oh.

I understand you tried to borrow some
money from him a few months back, and he

turned you down.

Yeah. How'd he turn you down?

Well, he gave me that speech on the
value of the dollar and how adversity

character. He was right, of course.

So where'd you finally get the money?

Scott Weston?

No, I... I mean, I hardly knew Dr.
Weston.

You see that hat over there?

Left here by a supplier of mine, a
gentleman named Duke McKenna.

We had a meeting the night that Dr.
Weston was killed. If you don't believe

you can call him up. You can ask him.

Well, maybe I will.

Yeah.

So, you ever need a tune -up? I'll call.

How you doing, my friend?

Great. You came through for me, Gary.

I'm grateful and impressed.

Thanks.

Does that mean we're square?

You bet.

Anytime,

my friend.

Anytime.

Stella, my brother's here.

I'm here.

Come on, let's grab a sandwich.

Is this your pen?

No. I think you meant to ask Dr. Carr.

Is this your pen?

Well, it...

Could be. It's a company I do business
with. Their sales rep often leaves

promotional items like this behind after
he's made a call.

Well, this pen was found on the ground
outside the window of Doreen Ferguson's

home. The district attorneys concluded
that it fell out of the killer's pocket

when he entered the house through the
window.

I'm afraid you're under arrest.

What?

You're going to arrest him because of
some lousy little pen?

Gary, it's okay. That's nuts! I mean,
there must be hundreds of pens like

What, are you going to go out and arrest
all those people too?

I'll take good care of it.

Coffee? No, thanks.

You son of a gun. You really had me
going yesterday with that jaundice.

I went to my doc and I got a clean bill
of health. Oh, I'm glad, lad.

Jaundice. You son of a gun.

He did say I was a little anemic,
though, so he gave me some iron pills to

And I said, I don't want to take too
much iron, doc.

I don't want to clank when I walk.

He laughed.

It's funny.

Yeah, what's in the sack here? Oh, well,
I don't understand why anyone would

want to go through the pain and expense
of plastic surgery when there's a simple

solution. Look, guys wear toupees, women
wear wigs, false eyelashes and whatnot.

Okay, you're going out for the evening.

What's wrong with this? Turn around.

Go on, turn around, will you?

Hey.

Is this for you or what?

I mean, you could wear it all evening.
Who would know?

Well, there's one problem I see right
off.

Your mouth doesn't move when you talk.

So what?

Gregory Peck's mouth doesn't move when
he talks. He gets away with it.

Hi. Hi.

Conrad.

Les, how you doing?

Oh, can't complain, can't complain.

Well, I better go.

Oh, don't rush off. No, stick around.

No, I got an appointment to have my
shoes half sold.

So time is of the essence.

He was

wearing

a mask.

I know.

Have you ever thought he was a little
weird?

Oh, yes. Often.

So how'd it go?

Oh, good.

Good. This morning I tailed Gary from
his tune -up shop to a bar on the Grand

where I had a very brief but lively
conversation with this guy.

His name's William Hodges.

Been in town less than a month.

Started managing the bar where he met
with Gary about a week ago.

Know what they were talking about?

Couldn't hear.

Is there some connection between him and
Dr. Weston?

Not that I know of. I did find out
something interesting about the bar,

Used to be owned by Ken Grohman.

Oh, yeah, a mobster.

He disappeared about a year ago after
being indicted for racketeering. Who

it now?

Holding company, the Guilfoyle
Corporation.

Keep digging.

Yeah.

I was just on my way down there.

Run that by me again?

Ben, I'm telling you, I was given that
pen after the murder. Are you sure?

Yes.

Ask Laura, my nurse. Or call the sales
rep and ask him. I'm absolutely positive

that he came to see me the day after the
murder.

After. Yeah.

Someone must have stolen that pen and
put it under that window.

Deliberately.

My friend.

Hey. Oh, hey, I'm sorry.

I got something in my contact. Let me
buy you another.

No, don't worry about it.

Don't move.

Please, don't move.

My contact fell out. You might step on
it. Here, drinks all around, everybody.

Just everybody, please stay in your
seats.

It should only take a minute.

Speak and you shall find.

Sorry about that.

He stopped by the day after Dr. Whitson
died.

Well, I know because he gave me a pen,
too.

I don't suppose either one of you
remembers names.

Um, yes.

Brian something.

Terwilliger. Yes.

It hits on me every time he comes in.
Oh.

Well, the pen's not here.

Thanks for your help, Laurie.

So, now what happens?

We're going to drop.

But we've just established that I
couldn't have dropped the pen on the

the murder because I didn't have it yet.

Doesn't that blow a hole in the A's
case?

Laurie heard you arguing with the
deceased.

shortly before the murder, and another
witness says she saw you coming out of

the house.

She's got a case.

I see.

Lowell, how you doing?

Oh, hi. Hi.

Dr. Alvin Prescott, this is my attorney,
Ben Matlock.

I'm honored.

Listen, I was just in the neighborhood.
I thought I'd stop by and pick up the

file.

What file?

The one that you promised me at the
association dinner.

Your notes on your new skin grafting
procedure. You said I could have them.

Right.

Right.

I'll run you off a copy. Why don't you
stay right here?

See you tomorrow.

Yeah, right.

Julie, it has been an honor meeting you.

I like to think that you are to criminal
law what I am to plastic surgery.

At approximately 7 .15, I saw a man
leave Doreen's house through the front

Is the man you saw in the courtroom
today?

Oh, yes. He's right over there.

Thank you.

Mr. Matlock?

Ms. Stanford, are you sure this is the
man you saw that night?

Positive. The porch light was on. I saw
his face clearly.

You're sure you saw this man?

And not this man.

Once again, Miss

Stanford, whom did you see that night?

I don't know.

Thank you.

Redirect? Yes, Your Honor.

Miss Stanford, what did the man you saw
do after he left your neighbor's house?

He got into a car and drove away.

And what did that car look like? It was
maroon. One of those new Japanese luxury

sports cars.

Is this the car he got into?

Yes, that's the car.

Let the record show the witness
positively identified a photo of the

Owned by the defendant, Dr.

Lowell Carr.

That's all, Your Honor.

So noted.

Ben? In here.

Hey. You got something?

So I have.

When I started checking into the
background of that guy that Gary Carr

I came up with nothing.

Zero. He's got no social security card,
no driver's license.

That's odd. That's what I thought. So I
stole the glass that he'd been drinking

out of and I had it checked for prints.
What are you doing?

Nothing.

I just thought I saw something on my
face that wasn't there yesterday.

It's probably just a little something
that comes with age, huh?

Yeah.

So guess whose prints were on the glass?

Whose? Ken Groman's.

That's impossible.

He disappeared a year ago. I know what
Ken Groman looks like. Everybody knows

what Ken Groman looks like. His picture
was in the paper for weeks.

Plastic surgery?

Right.

Lowell? Yep.

Oh, no.

What?

Dr. Prescott.

Who's that?

Someone who was with Lowell at that
dinner. He asked him to send him

out of his files, only he never did.

He didn't? No.

Because Lowell wasn't at that dinner.

Julie was right.

He was at Doreen Ferguson's, killing his
partner.

Sleep much? No. I couldn't get my mind
off this.

Dr. Weston must have found out that
Lowell redid Ken Grumman's face, and

that's why he wanted to dissolve the
partnership.

So what are you going to do?

Well, I was hired to give Lowell Carr
the best defense possible, so I guess

give it a shot.

Mr. Matlock?

You may call your first witness.

Your Honor, I call Mr. Gary Carr to the
stand.

What's going on? You'll see. You'll see.

Well, what's it like to be an identical
twin, Mr. Carr?

Well, I...

Just always thought it was a fact of
life.

You don't mind being a twin? No.

I should think it'd be difficult.

People always try to tell you apart.

He's the smart one, he's the athletic
one, he's the successful one. Doesn't it

bother you?

Well, sometimes, yeah.

By the way, which one is the smarter?

Well, I don't know about smarter.

Lowell usually got better grades than I
did. You, the athletic one?

Well, we were both fairly athletic. He
tended to play for string more often

I did. You're the successful one.

Well, no, not yet. I haven't really
found myself career -wise. Actually,

filed for bankruptcy twice in the past
seven years, haven't you?

Yeah. Has your brother ever filed for
bankruptcy?

No, never.

He's smarter than you, better at sports,
more successful.

You resent the hell out of your brother,
don't you? Objection. Whatever ill

feelings this witness may or may not
have toward his brother are not germane

this case.

Your Honor, this case rests on the fact
that someone who looked like my client

was seen leaving the scene of the crime.

Now, this witness's emotional state is
inarguably germane.

Objection overruled.

Please answer the question.

Well, I'd be lying if I...

I said I didn't sometimes resent him a
little.

You asked your brother to loan you $20
,000 a few months ago and he turned you

down. Did that make you mad?

For a while. It made you furious, didn't
it? He humiliated you one more time,

but this time you were going to make him
pay by framing him for a murder that

you committed, right?

I didn't kill anybody. Actually, you
concocted two frames.

You lured Dr.

Weston to Ms. Ferguson's house, having
heard that she was upset with him, and

killed him with one of her knives. And
then instead of leaving by a window or

something, you went out the front door,
knowing damn well the porch light was

on. You knew somebody would see you. You
wanted to be seen. You wanted somebody

to positively identify your brother's
car. You wanted that pin to be found.

wanted the police to conclude that your
brother had killed his partner.

That's not true.

You had keys to his house and his car,
didn't you?

Yeah. Knowing that he was at that
association dinner, you went to the

where it was being held, drove his car
from the parking lot over to Miss

Ferguson's house, committed the murder
and drove back, didn't you? No, I

I was at my shop all night. No, you
weren't.

I called Mr. McKenna.

He left at 7 o 'clock.

But then after he left, he realized he's
left his hat in your office. So he

drove back, got back at 7 .30, but he
couldn't get his hat because you weren't

there, were you?

I just went across the street to get a
salmon. The light was out. The door was

closed. Your car was gone.

You weren't there.

You were at Miss Ferguson's, framing
your brother, weren't you?

I wasn't there.

I was at the association dinner. Oh,
come on.

Come on.

To get into that dinner, You'd have to
show a positive ID, wear a name tag, go

by security guards.

You weren't there. Lowell was.

That wasn't Lowell. It was me.

You'd say anything to save your skin,
wouldn't you? I can prove it. I can tell

you who I talked to, what I said, where
I sat, what was on the menu. I can tell

you everything.

Are you asking this court to believe
that your brother planted a piece of

evidence at the scene of a crime to
incriminate himself?

I put the pen there.

Gary, shut up.

I did it.

I did it because Lowell told me to.

He knew he'd be able to show that it had
been planted so people would think that

he'd been framed.

I don't know. I can't believe what I'm
hearing.

Murdering Scott Weston was his idea. It
wasn't mine. It was his. It was his.

Gary! Stop it!

Sorry, I... I don't want to take the rap
for this alone.

Uh, Your Honor, um, could I ask for a
brief recess so that I could

confer with my client in crime?

What the hell are you doing, Ben?

Trying to defend you. Defend me? You're
burying me!

I was trying to show reasonable doubt by
making it look like Gary had done it.

How was I to know that you were in on it
together?

You did it, didn't you?

Your partner found out that you operated
on Kim Grumman.

You changed his appearance to keep him
from going to prison.

$20 ,000 that Gary wanted from me he got
from Grumman.

Couldn't pay it back.

If I didn't operate, he'd kill him.

Oh.

Did you make Gary help you murder your
partner? No.

He wanted to.

He said he got me into this mess, so he
should help me out of it.

So what happens?

He helps me and screws up again.

My client wishes to change his plea from
not guilty to guilty.

That seems entirely appropriate, Mr.
Matlock.

I'm revoking bail.

I'm instructing the bailiff to remand
the defendant's brother, Gary Carr, to

lockup and urge the prosecutor to file
charges immediately.

Court is adjourned.

Sure called that one right.

What's more important, I won the cake.

Four left.

And I lost my shot at a free facelift.

Are you thinking about having a
facelift? Well, it's like the old car

little lift is quite a lift.

Oh, I kind of like it just the way it
is.

Unless you're saying that because you
won.
