All language subtitles for Wife, Mother, Murderer (TV Movie 1991)

Tonight's film, a dramatization of
events in the mysterious life of Marie

is based on court and police records and
personal interviews.

I'm not quite sure, Frank, but we're
going to make you feel better, aren't

Marie? We sure are.

I think, in addition to the Kaopectate,
we ought to make sure that Frank

continues to eat and drink a lot of
fluids. I don't want him getting

Well, Carol and I will make sure he does
as instructed.

You go on home, Frank.

Marie, you keep up the TLC.

All right.

Thanks, Lyle.

Come on, Mommy.

Bye now, Lyle.

Hi. Hi.

How's your dad doing?

He's about the same, I guess.

He looks real bad.

I know.

Why, hi, Belinda. How y 'all doing
today?

Fine, Miss Haley. Thank you.

Your mom's so neat. You're lucky.

She's okay, most of the time.

Carol, you could have looked a little
nicer.

Would have worn a dress or something
nice like Belinda.

Mom. She's a father's little boy.

Doesn't mean you have to look like one.

Yeah, really? Over there's your grandma,
girl. Help her into the car.

Talk to you soon. Bye now, Belinda. Bye.

Thanks, Janelle.

Mama fixed her favorite, Daddy.

Got to eat something dry, dear.

Darling, I just, I don't think I can.

I know it's good, but... Please, Brian,
please, for me?

Well, maybe it'll eat for you.

Come on, Daddy.

How about a bite for your old buddy
here, huh?

That's it.

Where's the car?

Who took the... Rain?

Is it rain?

Frank? Where?

I need the key.

I need the key.

Don't touch me.

Don't touch me.

Come on. Come sit on the floor.

Carol,

call an ambulance.

Ready to go?

I feel so alone with Daddy gone.

Well, you are so special to him.

Sometimes I envy you, too.

You're like two peas in a pod.

Well, your daddy's in heaven now.

He's looking down at his baby girl, and
he wants you to be strong.

We'll come through this together.

Our little family.

Mama will take care of you.

We used to do everything together.

God, I miss him.

Oh, no.

It'll be all right.

I still can't believe it. It was just so
sad, man.

He seemed fine ten days ago, didn't he,
Mama?

It just got worse real fast. First he
had these real bad stomach aches, and

his liver stopped working.

Where is your Mama?

She's just lost.

Why do you always do this?

So you can see where I came from and
appreciate where we're going.

Now y 'all gonna drive up the hill to
where you think you belong.

Going up here didn't stop me from being
voted the prettiest girl in Anderson.

All Calhoun County, for that matter.

I think you should have a boyfriend by
now.

I should have one.

He wasn't good enough for you.

Oh, Hilly, you can do better than Ronnie
Harmon.

You can do better than this.

When I was your age... You had dozens of
boyfriends.

Matter of fact, I did.

I had my pick and choose.

More than a few from up on the hill,
too.

Why'd you marry Daddy, then? Don't be
fresh with me.

Your father was a wonderful man.

For terms.

Y 'all didn't just cross, you know.

There's always been them and us.

And I could speak French, too.

Guess we better get going.

I think we should find a place to live
up near here.

Sure, Mom.

Well, at least closer to here.

Maybe at the bottom and slowly work our
way up.

I'd love to live here.

I should live here.

There's Mr. Coswell's house.

There.

He said I was the best executive
secretary he ever had.

Then why'd you quit?

What a better offer.

Went to work for Mr. Gaines.

I was in great demand.

All these men wanted me to work for
them.

Most important men in town.

All of them.

Matter of fact, I have an interview
tomorrow.

I've heard awful good things about you.

Well, that's awfully nice of you to say.

I've always tried to do my very best.

Which is very good indeed, from all
accounts.

Would you have time to help, I mean?

We're undergoing some extensive
restructuring of the marketing division,

understand your organizational skills
are impeccable.

And, well, perhaps you could sleep on it
for a few days or so.

Well, Mr. Corkin, I'm truly flattered at
your consideration.

Really, I'd be quite pleased to help in
any way I could.

Well, welcome aboard.

Wow. Uh, you, uh, do you, uh,

would you like a little, uh, little
highball?

I always like a little bit around this
shade of the day.

God bless you.

What do you want?

It's Grandma.

She's been terrible all night.

I feel so helpless. I can't do anything
for her.

I don't want her to die.

I'll take care of things.

I will.

You go on now.

You go on. Go to bed.

Who is it?

Hello?

Those phone calls again.

They call, read into the phone, and hang
up.

How long has it been happening?

Ever since Daddy died.

Well, this harassment sure is strange,
no doubt about that, Miss Hilly. But I

don't see any signs of forced entry or
anything.

Well, what about the notes and the phone
calls?

Well, unless we get some hard proof,
there's nothing I can do.

If you get another note, hold on to it
and I'll come get it.

In the meantime, we'll just have to keep
an eye out.

Hopefully the tap on your phone will
help us out.

Well, I understand completely and are
ever so thankful for your concern,

Lieutenant.

Yes, ma 'am.

What? Don't go in your room, Carol.

Carol!

Carol, wait!

Please, Carol, don't go in your room.

No!

Mama, why are they doing this?

Carol, we're going to have to move.

But why?

They're trying to kill me, I know.

Who, Marie? Who is they?

I can't. I have to get Grandma and Dad.

Gary. Yes, Les.

Can I talk to you a minute?

The story's strange.

Who would want her to pretty lady like
her?

I don't know.

Where'd she get all the money?

We don't have any money.

Well, I checked the clothes in her
closet. Looks like the movie stars.

Well, Mama likes to look nice.

Well, you call if anything else happens,
okay?

Sure.

So, she says, well, I declare I was
simply mortified like some little old

Nashville bell.

I crack a trash that's practically known
the entire First Baptist Men's Revival

Choir in the biblical sense, of course.

What does

she

do during the day?

Who? What?

Oh, she tends her garden with little
gloves with tiny tulips all over them.

uh, she paints.

Paints what?

Birds. Badly.

I got you. I got you. I got you. I got

you.

And where did all the money go, Marie?

Frank's life insurance paid you $30
,000.

Now, as any fine southern woman, I know
you know your Bible.

Robbing Peter to pay Paul?

I'm afraid we're going to have to put
you on a little monetary diet.

Now, I have devised a plan.

We're going to float you a small loan.

secured on your own good name to cover
these bad checks. Now, just until the

fire insurance proceeds can be
dispersed.

Lord, I couldn't live without you. You
know that?

You're a lifesaver. I don't know how I
can ever thank you.

I think that's nice, don't you?

Uh -huh.

I've never seen snow except for in your
painting.

I've never seen the real thing myself
either.

Someday we'll go to the mountains.

Where?

Why,

we'll learn to ski.

And yodel.

Yodel -ay -hee -hoo.

Hal, sometimes I think I'll just get
nowhere.

Like, we were born in this little town
with a fence around it five miles high.

We've got to stay in it forever.

Like me?

Is that what you think my life's been
about?

No, I... I could have done quite well,
thank you.

Not if we do it right. Not like it
hadn't been done by anyone before.

We'll just report it.

Come on.

Come on.

What do you think of that?

That was pretty cool, Mama.

Mama?

Yes?

The senior prom?

What?

Missy Carol!

We sure enough gonna get you all dolled
up, cuter than a little itty -bitty baby

blue -eyed angel. I do declare we sure
enough will.

This is where my daddy taught me to
drive.

Can we really afford this car?

Carol, I've already explained this to
you.

That's why we burned the old one.

Whatever you say, this...

Just up here.

Up a little farther.

Up a little farther.

Now stop.

Stop.

Now, the hardest part of your test is
parallel.

Parallel parking.

And we'll practice here.

Between these monuments to our founding
fathers.

Pillars of our fine little town.

Won't we get in trouble doing this?

Okay, I'll just practice parallel,
alright?

I don't know. It just doesn't seem
right.

Personally, I think the color is lovely
on her.

I wonder if you'll ever fill out, Carol.

Curve can be such an advantage.

I do kind of like this one, Mama.

What about that blue one that girl has
on?

I'll check and see if we have it in her
size.

Of course, I think she looks lovely in
this one.

With alterations, of course.

I do kind of like this one. Don't be
ridiculous.

Ta -da.

Here we go.

Perfect. Mama, I don't... Just put it
on, Karen.

think this will have to do.

The new car, Marie?

Not a very prudent purchase under the
circumstances.

I do believe the devil made me do it,
Walt.

You've closed the account?

But, Ward, of course I'll try to make
the payments.

Yes, I can.

Please?

The other town is overdrawn, too?

I don't know how that could possibly
have happened.

Give me a month, Ward.

Please?

Please, I promise.

Well, that check was just a little
dress.

One month?

Please?

Thanks, Ward.

I want you to eat something. Oh, Mama.

Every bit of it, young lady, especially
if you drink.

Mama, I ain't gonna drink.

Don't tell me what kids do at prom.

I went to five.

Youngest girl in Amsterdam.

Three times princess and then queen.
They mix it in soda, and you just hope

throw off on themselves instead of your
pretty little pumps.

Come in, silly.

Hi, Billy.

Come on in.

Stop right there.

Okay, I'll go already.

Mama, don't you look handsome.

Turn there.

Carol?

Carol, are you all right?

Carol. Oh, my God.

Carol. Are you okay? Are you all right?
Carol, what's wrong?

Carol, come here. You need some water or
something? Are you drunk?

Go to your witness.

Come here.

Don't. Don't.

Don't. Don't touch me.

Please. Please.

Please.

Please.

Please.

Please.

Good morning, Mrs. Haley.

I'm Dr.

Seldon. I've been supervising Carol's
test. It's a pleasure, Dr.

Seldon. I know you'll do the best you
can. I've heard wonderful things about

this place. And where did you go to
medical school?

Oh, well... Tulane. I went to Tulane.
It's a wonderful school.

Son of the South, I'd say. And what is
your diagnosis?

Dehydration, vomiting, chills, fever.

It's a bit mystifying.

We can't find a specific cause, Mrs.
Hilly.

Now, we'll keep her here under
observation for a few days.

Is that all you can say?

Well, I'm sorry.

It's very difficult to give an exact
diagnosis with such diffuse symptoms.

no.

Oh, no, you will not keep my baby.

I will take her home. I will see to her.
I most certainly will.

Dr. Shearman, 273. Dr.

Shearman, 273.

I've got your favorite.

Italian roast beef.

Linda, you sure you didn't catch
something? No, thanks, Miss Ellie. All

There you go.

I'll just leave you girls be.

Thanks, Mom. That's all right, sugar.

Carol?

Carol? Miss Haley?

Come quick.

Miss Haley!

She's been like this for two days.

Darling, they gave me something so you
don't have to come back to the hospital.

Help me. I don't know, Miss Haley. I
have permission. It's an anti -nausea

and I have permission so I don't have to
keep bringing her back into the ER for

this. Now, would you help me hold her?

It just doesn't seem right. Then I'll do
it myself.

Where are you going?

Maybe we should just call 911.

You stay right here.

You help me hold my legs.

She's got to go to the hospital.

You've got to do something.

Nurse Bob.

Rita. Rita, what happened?

Poor girl. She fell down.

Nobody even found her for ten minutes.

What do you mean no one found her for
ten minutes? Just what I said. She was

lying there all by herself.

Marie, somebody's got to do something.
She can't even walk.

Drive me insane. We've been to three
doctors.

One of them even said that Flack was the
medic.

Dr. Governor. I'm going to get her out
of here right away.

Dr. Governor.

It's going to be okay.

You go ahead. I'll get the chair.

Okay.

What are you doing? Just doing my job.
This stuff was bought with a bounce

check. Sorry, girly.

Linda, I can't see.

It's all cloudy.

Call Mama.

I don't know what's happening to me.

I'm right here.

That was Wellington's furniture.

Marie's check to them just bounced.

She's accumulating a stack of bad checks
about as thick as a deck of cards.

Now, why is she doing this, Ward?

I don't know.

We tried to help her with the finances
ever since Frank died.

How so?

Well, just simple guidance.

She was constantly overdrawn at a few
other banks. Her accounts closed.

So we tried to help her. We opened her
accounts here, based on the fact that

was selling a home of hers down in
Florida.

Well, is that going to help with all
these bad checks?

It should.

We're looking to open a $30 ,000 CD.

Does Wellington's want to press charges?

I don't know.

I have to call him up.

I do know that Marie bought a new car.

A new car?

Yeah. Well, how's that possible?

Not through us.

The dealer must have financed it.

I've got something for you, hon.

No victim.

She's here.

I don't know what they're doing.

And maybe, maybe this will help.

But don't tell anyone, okay?

Or the rest will get broke.

Doctor asked me if I ever tried to
commit suicide.

What?

When?

How do they ask a silly question like
that?

He asked me if I'd eaten pencil lead.

What kind of silliness is this supposed
to mean?

Suicide? Lead pencil?

Well, I've found slightly elevated
levels of lead in her blood, and I'm

more tests. You are most certainly not
running any more tests. You've had my

little girl in here for a week, poking,
draining, bleeding.

I'm taking her out of here right now.

But you can't. She graduated. I want her
discharged in my care immediately.

Arrange for this instant, I demand it.
You cannot take her.

I'm going under the UAB, and they might
know what they're doing.

This incompetence is criminal. I won't
have it.

Come on, Kevin.

You're on.

It all started after the death of her
husband.

Threatening phone calls.

Well, nuisance calls.

Phone would ring, nobody on the other
end.

There was the fires first in the closet.

Obvious arson.

Some breaking and entering.

And then the house fire.

We've got a laundry list of slowly
accumulating violence here.

It's bizarre.

You mean to tell me that she's emptied
three bank accounts, is now writing

checks on a non -existent account, and
is into...

Two banks for thousands.

Yeah. Ward Bellamy opened an account for
her based on the sale of a house that

doesn't exist.

I don't believe this woman.

She's got a job, gets a dead husband,
social security, and has gone through 30

,000 life insurance in less than a year.

The only monthly payment she's made good
on, yeah, is her daughter's life

insurance policy.

Audrey Marie Healy?

Why, Gary, you know why.

You're under arrest.

For what?

A lot of bad checks, Marie.

I can't tell you how disappointed I am
about this.

You have a right to remain silent. Don't
leave me, Mama.

I'm afraid.

I want to go home today.

What do you all got here?

Partial paralysis, blindness.

Neurological decomposition,
gastrointestinal chaos. Oh, wait a

Here, I'll look at her hands.

I don't believe it. I just read about
this. These striations, these lines

through the nails. This is something if
you're not looking for, it's hard to

find. So what does it mean?

Honey?

Honey? Can you hear me?

I thought you did this to yourself.

I'm almost trying to kill you.

Uh, look, get a hair, Sam.

This kid is full of arsenic.

Arsenic?

No, thanks.

I'll get back to you.

You have to trust me, Carol.

We go before the grand jury tomorrow.

I know she's your mother.

But without you, I have nothing.

You had 100 times the normal level of
arsenic in your body.

And those shots, they weren't anti
-nausea. I just can't, Mr. Hubbard.

She's my mother.

I can't explain it.

Without you.

She set those fires.

She's the one who's been calling you.

She did all of this deliberately.

Forget the bad checks.

Forget the arson.

Forget these tormenting phone calls
she's made to you.

She murdered your own daddy, girl.

And one more dose and she would have
murdered you.

You are now the only living witness.

This isn't a bad check charge I'm after.

You have to help.

She's my mama!

Do you think my mama's crazy?

What do you think?

I kind of wish she was.

Carol, your mama knows exactly what
she's doing.

He was all premeditated.

Indictments on every count.

The grand jury has chosen to indict.

on bad checks, murder, first degree, on
your daddy, and

attempt to poison on you.

What's going to happen to me?

When I see this information, Joe has to
be... Excuse me.

What?

The feller just got her off on a $14
,000 bond.

$14 ,000?

Well, Miss Marie called in her markers
from all over town.

There's some big ones.

Where is she?

The feller said he wanted to keep the
press off her. He's got her checked into

motel in Birmingham.

Birmingham?

He's up there, sir.

Right there.

Father, you led me straight to her. You
will hear from me.

Oh, I see.

Been kidnapped.

Yeah, right.

My God, Carol.

We got to get back up to Anniston.

This

is

479. Kareem, let me talk to Les.

We've arrived at Hilly Residence. Do we
have any further updates?

Negative.

She's escaped.

She's gone, Carol.

I want you to come over to my place.

To be safe with my family.

She can't spend her life in fear and
hiding.

There's no way to live. I'll be all
right. I'll stay with Aunt Freda.

All right.

I'll post a watch on you then.

We're going to get her, Carol.

If it's the last thing I do, she's going
to be done hurting people.

I'm going to get her.

Robbie Hannon.

Double N.

That's right.

This is a very impressive resume,
Robbie. I think we'll be able to place

a New York manager.

Just in time, too. Either that or I'll
find myself a little old sugar daddy.

Well, there's more than a few of those
around, if you don't mind. I'm a little

on the well -done side.

Where are you staying now?

A hotel just off the beach, the Florida
Breeze.

Well, you check this lead out, see if
you like it.

And I'll meet you over at the San Jose
around 5 -ish.

For a cocktail, we'll show you around a
bit.

It's a deal.

A lot of the rich guys from the marina
come in here all the time.

Not bad, huh?

Now, some of these guys are married, but
a lot of them aren't.

What about him?

John Homan.

Rumor has it he's from money.

But if he's got it, he doesn't flash it.

He likes to get his hands dirty.

Works on boats.

I like a man who can work with his
hands.

Now, that all depends on where he puts
them.

How much money?

Nothing that I'd quit my day job for.

He's really a blue -collar kind of guy.
I've talked to him maybe once or twice.

Kind of like his looks.

That's really one of the most
interesting things I've ever heard.

I can't believe I'm talking this much. I
don't usually at all.

You make me feel so comfortable.

I feel the same.

Well, who is this person you miss very
much?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Take it easy.

The way I'm acting.

Well, tell me if you want.

You remind me of my husband.

He and my two children were killed in an
automobile accident a year ago in

Texas.

I've been sort of lost.

Adrift ever since.

My marriage failed.

It's hard.

She has left me.

I'm not real close with my... family,
I'm pretty much of a disappointment to

them.

I'm sorry.

I like to work with my hands.

Yeah.

I think that's a decent and honest thing
for a man to do.

Why would any woman in her right mind
leave a man like you?

Can I?

Can I see you again?

Yes.

I'd like that.

Go around all of these.

That's one of these tight.

John!

John!

Hi, hon.

Pack all the rest of these and you check
those belts.

Take them. I tell you, that main
squeezer. to get you on a tight leash,

you? I wanted something like that seeing
something like me.

Oh, you look wonderful.

Do you really think so?

Just do it.

Put that life over. Throw away all that
old baggage and clutter. Just change. Do

you think we could?

As far from here as I want snow.

Snow? Snow?

I want snow.

I have some friends in New Hampshire.

Walt and Maggie.

They're really nice people. I could call
them and ask them if they could find us

a place to live.

If you'd have snow and if... If winter
doesn't come, I'll buy you snow.

All the snow you want. Hell, anything
you want. I want it. Yeah, I want it. I

want snow for snowballs, fires and cozy
fires.

Robbie, will you marry me?

Don't be afraid of change, dear.

I've ordered new furniture.

They say just don't do.

Everything's fine.

I like everything just the way it is.

I'm thinking of something peachy. What
do you think, Maggie?

I've always been impartial to peach
myself.

How much is always going to cost?

Money? Coat?

That was bothering you?

No, I mean, money doesn't mean anything
to me. Never has, never will. Just get a

job, then.

You know, Robbie, there's a job open
where I work at Central School.

They've been awfully good to Maggie over
the years. You gals could have fun.

You don't need to get a job. We got
plenty of money.

You don't want to be barefoot and
pregnant, do you?

Well, Walt, you don't want Maggie
barefoot and pregnant.

Yes, sir.

Get myself a job.

You think you're going to keep me under
your thumb?

I'm so excited.

Well, you should fit right in. We have a
nice group here.

There's been a lot here, a lot there.

You know, I've been so many places,
blessed I was.

My first husband, a lawyer, was quite
wealthy.

He... I had an automobile wrecked with
my two children.

I'm sorry.

I still have the condo in Aspen, but I
doubt I'll ever see Paris again.

Oh, that's too bad.

It's a job God sent.

Idle hands the devil's mischief will do.

Yes, that's true.

Well, all I need now is for you to fill
in this W -4 form.

Name, address, and social security
number, okay?

Oh. Of course.

You can even bring it back later if you
like.

My... My sister Terry, she'll keep the
condo we have in Aspen.

If that inheritance ever comes through,
I swear those Texans act like snares

instead of mining terrors.

Robbie! Telephone.

I think I'm back.

God, I'm sick of that woman's trials and
tribulations.

I think she's sweet.

She just, you know, had some trouble,
Maggie.

Hello? Well, how I was expecting you to
call.

I think she is trouble.

Lives her life for over a year now.

Hers and that lapdog husband of hers.

Well, I love you too.

I'm on the phone now.

Hi, honey. Just called to say I love
you.

Well, I like her.

Robbie, that social security number of
yours, something's wrong.

The computer seems to kick it out and
payroll is having some problems.

Could you call them?

I've got some tickets, so would you like
to come? Oh, I'd love to. I just can't

believe how much weight I put on.

A happy marriage does that to you.

Rhonda, I feel somehow that you are a
trustful, decent human

being.

And I've never told anyone this, but
somehow I feel I need to share with you.

I have an incurable blood disease.

I've known for some time.

It's progressive.

Oh.

Robbie.

I'm so sorry.

The doctors in Boston recommend
specialists in doubt.

Great. Then we'll go. No, no, no.

I'll go alone.

I've talked to Terry in Dallas, and she
can take care of me.

It's better this way.

I'd like if you'd take care of the
house.

Your husband?

I want to be with you. I want to be
there for whatever... I've had so much

and tragedy in my life.

Should anything happen, I want to spare
us both the maudlin, painful motions we

feel we'd have to go through.

And just remember the best things, John.

You should not be going through this by
yourself.

I think Terry will take good care of me.
We'll call every day.

I can't shake the feeling that I'll
never see you.

God works in many ways. Things always
work out for the best.

My heart and my thoughts will be with
you.

I love you.

It was her hope that you and I meet to
console one another in our grief.

Whatever.

Whatever she wanted. Yeah, whatever.

Arriving passenger Mark, please meet
your party at the information desk.

Arriving passenger Mark, please meet
your party at the information desk.

All right.

Okay.

Robbie?

Jared? Sean?

Sean?

She said you were identical twins, but
that's incredible.

People are always saying that.

Joan, I want you to know she was very
brave.

And she loved you very much, and I can
see why. You give off the aura of a very

kind man.

Non -smoking flight.

It's Robbie's brand.

But I smoke twice as many of.

It's been a harrowing ordeal.

Do you have any luggage?

A bit.

She wanted me to remember her to
everyone at work.

Beautiful up here.

I've never been to New England before.

Just so... The homie.

And what does she like?

She loves snow.

For her.

Not me.

Died after a long illness.

Survivors include John and two sisters,

requested her body be donated to the
Medical Research Institute of Texas.

She told

me so much of all of you.

She wanted me to come and remember
herself to you.

Who's Rhonda?

Hi.

And you?

Maggie.

It's Maggie, Robbie, and you know it.

Terry. I'm a twin sister, Terry.

If I've been called Robbie once, I've
been called her a million times.

You were.

Her dearest closest friend.

I'd like to stay a while and talk to you
about her when I can, but I'm in

concern now with John.

What the hell is she doing? What?

Who? That woman.

It's not any Terry Martin.

That's Robbie.

What are you talking about?

Robbie's dead.

You're crazy.

What is that woman up to?

What's he up to?

How could he be that stupid?

Maggie, she's an identical twin.

I saw a show once on twins and you
couldn't tell... That's Robbie.

I know it is.

Let me see that obituary again. Fine.

Stop doing this.

Do you hear me?

I'd like to watch you eat.

John.

This is going to be very hard for me,
but somehow I think Robbie would want it

this way.

I've fallen in love with this little
village,

the people.

I'd be lying if I said that I didn't
feel.

Feel a strong attraction to you.

There.

Hope you don't think ill of me.

Just... Oh, I don't know.

We have so much in common.

Maybe.

Maybe for just a little while.

Seems so right.

You know, it's as if Robbie came back to
life in you.

I can feel the spirit flowing in me.

Out to you.

Can't help it.

Can I ask you a question?

Of course.

Kelly, I don't know.

It's kind of naughty.

Kelly.

Go ahead.

Am I as romantic as...

Good as Robbie?

You're... You're different.

You're different from anybody I've ever
been with before.

and got a job in Rattleboro?

Where is she now?

She's at John's. I just saw her at
lunch.

Hello, Terry.

It's Maggie.

I'm fine.

How are you?

Well, I called...

Well, the girl, we'd like to send our
condolences to your sister.

You know, Jean Ann?

Oh, it's no problem.

What's her address?

Well, I think she just moved.

Well, I'll have to call her to find out.

You really needn't concern yourself.

We are dear.

Rhonda. Yeah.

Well, I've been on the phone and you all
thought I was nuts.

I've written it all down.

Read it.

Does that satisfy you?

There is no medical research institute.

There is no sacred heart church in
Tyler, Texas.

What? And there is no Gene and Trevor in
White Plains, New York.

And there is no record of death in and
about Dallas, Texas.

Free one Robbie Holman.

Excuse me, ma 'am.

Excuse me, ma 'am.

Ma 'am?

Ma 'am, pardon me.

Excuse me, ma 'am.

I'm Tom Blakely from the Federal Bureau
of Investigation.

We have reason to believe that you are
somebody other than who you say you are.

I can understand that.

Would you accompany us to police
headquarters, please?

Of course.

Start around this way to the blue car.

Who are you?

Audrey Marie Haley.

Are you running or hiding from something
we should know about, Miss Hilliard?

Nothing much. A little tech charge.

Where was that?

Alabama.

You've run a long way for a little bad
paper, Miss Hilliard.

Well, it's ridiculous what they accuse
me of.

Do you know how hard it is to hide?

Every few months you have to quit every
job you have. You've got your phony

social security number kicks back.

What did you do, Miss Hilly?

It's ridiculous.

I was her only mother.

I mean, it's absurd.

What's absurd?

You know how hard it is to run, to hide.

It's very tiring.

I'm glad it's over.

No, it's not, Miss Hilly.

It's why murder won.

An attempt to poison.

Lady, you're Alabama bound.

I'd really rather not go back there.

Just look into the car, Miss Kelly.

So, why'd you play me for a fool, Terry?

Robbie, Marie.

John, my real name is Audrey Marie
Healy.

I didn't play you for a fool. I can't
believe this.

Did you... Did you do those things they
say you did?

Marie?

Of course I didn't do those things.

It's all nonsense. It's a conspiracy. My
in -law's in the police. I had a little

problem with money, but I certainly
didn't kill anyone.

Why?

Why didn't you trust me enough to tell
me? Tell me the truth.

I wanted to protect you.

To save what we have.

And I did it because I...

Tell me.

Could have helped. Could have helped
you.

I was afraid of losing you.

You're a decent, kind, loving husband.

And I'm all alone, except for you.

All alone in this world.

How's she going to plead, Mr. Fowler?
Mrs. Hilly denies all the charges. Mrs.

Hilly, if you're not guilty, who do you
think committed the murder?

Mr.

Fowler, why don't you ask her to change
the venue?

How about motions? Are you going to file
any more motions?

Hold your first witness, Mr. Hubbard.

Prosecution calls Carol Hilly.

When you first became ill,

What were your symptoms?

Just throwing up.

Just throwing up.

How often would you throw up?

Hours and hours.

It would stop and then it would go on
forever, for weeks.

Did your mother give you injections at
any time?

Yes. My mom said she'd gotten something
to make the nausea go away.

Did it?

No, sir.

Did at any time anyone suggest that your
symptoms might be psychological?

Yes, I was put in a psychiatric ward.

Did your mother give you injections
there?

Yes, sir.

I just wanted to go home, but the
doctors kept telling me it was in my

I couldn't go home until I could walk or
gained 15 or 20 pounds.

It didn't look good.

So my mom said, one time there was this
little girl who had the same

problem and a nurse gave her a shot and
it

helped this little girl.

Mama said it would help my legs.

And your mother told you not to tell
anybody?

Yes, sir.

Did you find relief?

It's just getting worse.

Then they told me my mother couldn't see
me anymore.

And then your mother took you out of
that hospital.

How did you get around?

My mother, she would just sort of...

Drag me.

I wanted to go home.

Just go home and die.

But you didn't go home.

Where did you go?

UAB.

When was the first time you were told
what was wrong with you?

At UAB.

It was arsenic poisoning.

How long were you in physical therapy
because of arsenic poisoning?

Ten months.

I couldn't walk.

My hands were numb.

I couldn't dress myself.

I just kept trying.

Did you ever experience nausea or
vomiting when your mother gave you food?

I want you to try and think back to
April 1970.

Would you like to take a little break?
We can take a recess or we can just stop

for a minute. Which would you rather?

A break.

Prosecution requests a short recess,
Your Honor.

I think that's fine, Counselor. A little
recess for 15 minutes.

Marie Healy had intended to kill her
daughter.

She would have taken the girl home and
let her die, not taken her to hospital

after hospital and doctor after doctor.

The girl is suicidal, as we have shown.

And if money was a so -called motive,

Mrs. Healy would have bought a much
larger policy.

Wouldn't you think?

It was a concerned wife and mother who
took first her husband,

then later her daughter to the hospital
when they became ill, who

unhesitatingly consented to an autopsy.

I ask you to do your duty and find the
defendant

not guilty.

Thank you.

Carol Hilly loved her mother.

God made that bond.

Carol did not break that bond.

Marie Hilly broke that bond when she
took it into her own hands to dispose of

the child that she bore.

For money.

She's not your ordinary housewife.

Looks like one.

Acted like one.

But that's not what she really is.

What she really is is a cold -blooded
murderess.

Of course she agreed to an autopsy of
Frank Hilly.

Unless you look specifically for it, you
won't find arsenic poisoning.

It mimics hundreds of things.

She knew this, and she murdered this
fine man for

$31 ,000.

And having gone through this money in
short order, she attempted the same

again with the daughter that she brought
into this world for $25 ,000.

One more dose and General Hilly would
have been in the ground

right next to her dear dead daddy.

This crime is nearly unspeakable.

Look at her.

Look at her.

She is not your ordinary mother.

She is a cold, calculating, cunning

killer.

Thank you.

That concludes the final argument, so
we'll take a short recess, after which I

will instruct the jury as to the
appropriate law for this case.

Then you may retire to deliberate on
your verdict.

Carol, I love you.

Leave her alone, Marie.

Come see me.

And having been found guilty on all
counts,

of murder in the first degree, and of
attempted poisoning.

I hereby sentence you to life and 20
years imprisonment at the Julia Tutwiler

State Prison for Women in Wetonga.

This court is now adjourned.

It must look amazing.

I should do something with it. They've
been taking pictures and all.

How could you have done this to me?

Done what?

I'm your daughter.

Don't you have anything to say?

I couldn't call you.

You must know why.

could you think that it's preposterous
it's untrue now calm down marie the

report may be of no merit and if that's
so it won't affect your request for a

three -day furlough but i i've never
talked to anyone regarding escape i've

everything asked of me in the last three
years marie your executive skill your

leadership your artwork are an
inspiration to i don't want your

want your trust i am so disappointed

That you would think that I would even
think of escaping.

All right.

Now calm down, okay?

I'll look into the report and I'll see
what I can do.

Okay?

Thank you.

Thank you, Warden.

It's not

exactly

a four -star hotel, is it?

You're here. I'm here.

It's all that matters, John.

Morning,

Marie.

What are you doing?

Well, I don't want to wake you.

See, the truth is, I've been laid off.

I had to return the rental car this
morning. I'm going to take you back on

You can't be serious.

Wait, Marie?

Marie? Marie?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Marie.

There's nothing I can do.

There's nothing...

I get whatever you want.

Whatever.

Are you sure?

I could be there then?

I'll meet you when I can.

What'd you get?

Biscuit and gravy.

Who's that on the phone?

Dodie.

Dodie? Dodie. Just what I said. She
wants to visit my parents' graves with

Well, I can take you.

I can do this alone.

I'll be back. Marie?

Marie? Marie?

Marie?

Marie?

Marines!

Detectives!

Lieutenant Gary Carroll, please.

Thank you, John.

I got Birmingham Airport on board. All
the bus depots and Amtrak.

Last time she stole a car. Yeah, I got
her description out on the radio.

I'll call Carroll. Can we get a car up
there to watch her? Sure thing. All

right.

You mean to tell me that you were going
to take her back 100 miles on a

motorcycle in this weather?

I had a raincoat for her.

Who is Dodie?

Don't know.

You bet you don't. There isn't any
Dodie.

How much money did she have?

That I know?

Three bucks.

So she's gone.

A spider threw a crack in the floor.

How long is she going to be gone this
time, John?

You seem to know her.

If that woman could ever be known.

Mrs. Holman said she went to visit her
parents' graves with Dodie.

Dodie? Yes, Dodie.

Who is she?

I don't know. Mama didn't know anybody
named Dodie. Carol, think.

Think real hard.

There's got to be somebody that we have
overlooked.

I told you, I don't know.

Don't you understand? I don't know
anything about my mother.

Arrest due to acute hypothermia.

Excuse me, gentlemen.

I don't figure it.

A woman who never spent five minutes in
the woods her entire life.

She must have been waiting for somebody
and he didn't show up.

She could have been long gone.

That's ironic, Gary.

What is?

She spent a whole life trying to get
away from here.

And she crawls back to the very shack
she was born in to die.

The real cause of Marie Haley's death
and her three days in the woods remain a

mystery to this day.

In 1989, John Holman was murdered in a
bizarre robbery attempt at the old hotel

in Anniston, Alabama, where he remained
after the death of his beloved Marie.
