1
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:07,875
Welcome back, Your Grace.

2
00:00:07,975 --> 00:00:09,643
I take it you had a good flight?

3
00:00:09,743 --> 00:00:12,346
- I'm knackered.
- Mm.

4
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,516
- Has she started?
- Uh, she has.

5
00:00:15,616 --> 00:00:18,052
My new associate Deandra
will have your bags

6
00:00:18,152 --> 00:00:19,953
brought to your suite
while you're in the café.

7
00:00:20,020 --> 00:00:23,724
Ah. Of course.
We'll take care of it.

8
00:00:37,171 --> 00:00:40,674
Yes, taking a chance on love,
which is what you did

9
00:00:40,774 --> 00:00:43,477
when you made your reservation
six months ago.

10
00:00:43,544 --> 00:00:45,446
But it already seems worth it,
doesn't it?

11
00:00:45,546 --> 00:00:48,182
Seeing me up close,
in the flesh,

12
00:00:48,282 --> 00:00:50,518
an award-winning
cabaret artiste.

13
00:00:50,618 --> 00:00:52,920
- One award.
- Excuse me, Jolly?

14
00:00:53,053 --> 00:00:54,255
You've won one award.

15
00:00:54,388 --> 00:00:55,589
Most people hear
"award-winning,"

16
00:00:55,723 --> 00:00:56,924
they think "several."

17
00:00:57,024 --> 00:00:59,893
Thanks for the clarification.
Bitch.

18
00:01:01,362 --> 00:01:02,530
It's true.

19
00:01:02,630 --> 00:01:04,298
I've won only one statue,

20
00:01:04,397 --> 00:01:06,834
and I happen to have it with me.
Do you want to see it?

21
00:01:06,934 --> 00:01:08,936
Yes.

22
00:01:09,069 --> 00:01:11,739
No, it's not the Emmy

23
00:01:11,839 --> 00:01:13,774
for my guest spot
on Father Crime,

24
00:01:13,907 --> 00:01:14,908
which airs tonight.

25
00:01:15,008 --> 00:01:17,345
This is my 1987

26
00:01:17,445 --> 00:01:20,448
Mabel Short Cabaret
Performer of the Year Award.

27
00:01:21,615 --> 00:01:23,217
Thank you.
Thank you.

28
00:01:23,317 --> 00:01:26,254
So, you are seeing a legitimate

29
00:01:26,354 --> 00:01:28,088
cabaret performer, maybe

30
00:01:28,222 --> 00:01:29,823
the last one in existence.

31
00:01:29,923 --> 00:01:32,360
You know, the minute
they drag me out of here,

32
00:01:32,460 --> 00:01:35,628
some reality star will start
squawking Sondheim.

33
00:01:35,763 --> 00:01:39,066
So, let's make the most
of this night, shall we?

34
00:01:41,435 --> 00:01:42,770
Isn't she fantastic?

35
00:01:42,870 --> 00:01:45,104
Damn it!

36
00:01:45,206 --> 00:01:47,441
What is it?
What is it?

37
00:01:47,575 --> 00:01:48,709
No!

38
00:01:48,809 --> 00:01:50,378
Don't tell me.

39
00:01:51,712 --> 00:01:53,847
I love it
when she gets like this.

40
00:01:54,615 --> 00:01:56,850
Oh. And the tempo
on "Sunny Side of the Street"

41
00:01:56,950 --> 00:01:58,319
was too bright.

42
00:01:58,419 --> 00:02:00,120
What part of "sunny side"
don't you understand?

43
00:02:00,221 --> 00:02:01,455
Don't get fresh.

44
00:02:01,555 --> 00:02:03,090
And don't correct me
in the middle of a show.

45
00:02:03,191 --> 00:02:05,326
You asked.

46
00:02:05,459 --> 00:02:08,329
Especially when I ask.

47
00:02:08,461 --> 00:02:10,130
It's no wonder I went up
with all the latecomers

48
00:02:10,264 --> 00:02:12,099
and schmoozers in here.

49
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,168
Nobody knows
the pressure I'm under.

50
00:02:14,268 --> 00:02:15,769
And I'm on the tube tonight.

51
00:02:15,836 --> 00:02:18,306
We heard.
You told everybody.

52
00:02:18,439 --> 00:02:19,640
I'm gonna watch upstairs.

53
00:02:19,740 --> 00:02:21,242
I'll be back down
for the second show.

54
00:02:21,341 --> 00:02:23,511
Have them send my dinner up
through room service.

55
00:02:24,278 --> 00:02:25,646
They charge for that, you know.

56
00:02:25,746 --> 00:02:27,381
What are you implying?

57
00:02:31,519 --> 00:02:34,021
Oh, right there's fine.

58
00:02:35,489 --> 00:02:37,991
I'm on Father Crime tonight.
Do you watch that show?

59
00:02:38,125 --> 00:02:40,828
- Not since they killed off Felicity.
- Oh.

60
00:02:42,396 --> 00:02:43,497
Wow.

61
00:02:43,597 --> 00:02:45,533
You guys have
raised prices again.

62
00:02:46,534 --> 00:02:47,501
Put it on my tab.

63
00:02:47,635 --> 00:02:49,237
Oh, wait.
Here.

64
00:02:49,337 --> 00:02:52,273
Oh.
I don't have any cash.

65
00:02:52,373 --> 00:02:53,741
I'll get you next time.

66
00:03:03,784 --> 00:03:06,220
Want some company, guv'nor?

67
00:03:09,122 --> 00:03:12,760
I know why you're here,
and it's not going to work.

68
00:03:13,961 --> 00:03:16,497
I can be
very persuasive, you know.

69
00:03:16,564 --> 00:03:20,133
I have to protect
my Manhattan investments.

70
00:03:20,234 --> 00:03:21,402
The royal family

71
00:03:21,502 --> 00:03:24,004
is under tremendous scrutiny.

72
00:03:24,103 --> 00:03:26,039
We can't get away with anything.

73
00:03:26,173 --> 00:03:27,174
Exactly.

74
00:03:27,241 --> 00:03:28,676
The deal smells,

75
00:03:28,742 --> 00:03:30,177
and if you agree to it,

76
00:03:30,244 --> 00:03:32,179
you'll be in big trouble
when everything goes south.

77
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,648
I've made up my mind.

78
00:03:34,748 --> 00:03:37,216
This place is due for a change.

79
00:03:37,317 --> 00:03:38,686
Why does anything
have to change?

80
00:03:38,786 --> 00:03:40,053
Just give it a little more time.

81
00:03:40,153 --> 00:03:41,389
- I'll see you out.
- No, no,

82
00:03:41,489 --> 00:03:43,257
- no, no, no, no, no, no.
- Come on.

83
00:03:43,357 --> 00:03:44,725
Stop, now.
Stop!

84
00:03:44,825 --> 00:03:47,761
Good God, woman.

85
00:03:47,895 --> 00:03:49,797
Are you mad?

86
00:03:49,897 --> 00:03:52,099
Something like that.

87
00:04:25,799 --> 00:04:26,934
Yes,

88
00:04:27,034 --> 00:04:28,636
it's true.
I've won only one statue,

89
00:04:28,736 --> 00:04:30,404
and I happen to have it with me.

90
00:04:30,471 --> 00:04:32,706
- Do you want to see it?
- Yes!

91
00:04:32,806 --> 00:04:34,542
Let's see it!

92
00:04:34,642 --> 00:04:36,310
Whip it out!

93
00:04:36,409 --> 00:04:39,447
You know what?
I don't do this for the awards.

94
00:04:39,547 --> 00:04:41,181
I do it for the money.

95
00:04:41,281 --> 00:04:42,883
So I'll just keep singing.

96
00:04:58,899 --> 00:05:00,901
Oh.

97
00:05:00,968 --> 00:05:04,004
Hello. I'm looking
for the, um... Oh.

98
00:05:04,104 --> 00:05:06,474
Wow, this place is so elegant.

99
00:05:06,607 --> 00:05:09,643
Uh, sorry,
I'm here for the, um...

100
00:05:09,743 --> 00:05:11,812
- Possible crime scene?
- Oh. Yes.

101
00:05:11,945 --> 00:05:14,382
- That's all right. I got this.
- Captain Wagner.

102
00:05:14,482 --> 00:05:16,082
I was expecting
to see a detective.

103
00:05:16,149 --> 00:05:19,152
Uh, since I got passed over
for commissioner,

104
00:05:19,252 --> 00:05:20,921
I figured I'd get out
of the office a bit.

105
00:05:21,021 --> 00:05:23,457
Oh, it's a beautiful place
for an investigation.

106
00:05:23,524 --> 00:05:26,394
- Thanks.
- The Reilly is a New York institution.

107
00:05:26,494 --> 00:05:28,529
This place still looks the same
as the night

108
00:05:28,629 --> 00:05:31,499
I proposed to Claudia,
right there in the café.

109
00:05:31,599 --> 00:05:33,300
No wonder you're
in such a good mood.

110
00:05:33,367 --> 00:05:35,102
Hey, you should be, too,
given the news.

111
00:05:35,168 --> 00:05:36,537
What news?

112
00:05:36,637 --> 00:05:39,006
"Mayor Bloom, seen last night

113
00:05:39,106 --> 00:05:41,475
having dinner with
a mysterious brunette."

114
00:05:41,575 --> 00:05:44,878
That's not a phony story
planted by Nadine.

115
00:05:45,646 --> 00:05:49,750
The "mysterious redhead"
is officially yesterday's news.

116
00:05:49,850 --> 00:05:52,586
You must be relieved.

117
00:05:52,686 --> 00:05:55,989
Yeah. Absolutely.

118
00:05:56,056 --> 00:05:57,257
Yay.

119
00:05:58,025 --> 00:06:00,728
Housekeeping found him
this morning.

120
00:06:00,861 --> 00:06:03,697
It looks like he slipped
getting out of the shower.

121
00:06:03,831 --> 00:06:07,134
Apparently, he grabbed the towel
bar, but it came off the wall,

122
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,903
leaving him to smash his head
on the tile.

123
00:06:10,003 --> 00:06:12,272
Oh, please, sir,
don't touch anything.

124
00:06:12,372 --> 00:06:15,743
Oh, right. Sorry.
Force of habit.

125
00:06:15,843 --> 00:06:17,310
Uh, what were you about to do?

126
00:06:17,411 --> 00:06:20,213
Oh, we like the seams on
our lampshades to face the wall.

127
00:06:20,347 --> 00:06:22,382
Excuse me, sir.

128
00:06:22,483 --> 00:06:23,851
Uh, e-excuse me.

129
00:06:23,917 --> 00:06:25,118
Oh.

130
00:06:27,020 --> 00:06:28,756
Whoa.

131
00:06:28,889 --> 00:06:31,525
Everything is just so,

132
00:06:31,592 --> 00:06:34,495
with the hotel monogram
on everything.

133
00:06:34,562 --> 00:06:37,164
Such a lovely old-world touch.

134
00:06:37,264 --> 00:06:39,066
It's like stepping back in time.

135
00:06:39,166 --> 00:06:41,502
Yeah, wow.
It's like he lived here.

136
00:06:41,602 --> 00:06:43,070
Oh, he did.

137
00:06:43,203 --> 00:06:45,673
Part of the time he kept
this place as a pied-à-terre.

138
00:06:45,773 --> 00:06:47,741
Oh, that's right.
I forget that some people

139
00:06:47,875 --> 00:06:50,043
- actually live in hotels.
- Mm-hmm.

140
00:06:50,143 --> 00:06:53,747
Huh. These pajamas are folded,

141
00:06:53,881 --> 00:06:55,749
and these are on a hanger.

142
00:06:55,883 --> 00:06:59,086
- Well, maybe he was planning on wearing those.
- Ooh.

143
00:06:59,186 --> 00:07:00,554
Is that blood?

144
00:07:00,621 --> 00:07:05,125
Maybe from a scuffle
that knocked over the lamp?

145
00:07:05,225 --> 00:07:07,094
Or it could be from shaving.

146
00:07:08,095 --> 00:07:12,500
Oh. This shoehorn is kind of
bent out of shape.

147
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,168
Nobody has that much trouble
putting on their loafers.

148
00:07:15,268 --> 00:07:18,939
- Yeah, not usually.
- Hmm.

149
00:07:20,407 --> 00:07:21,374
It's just in here.

150
00:07:21,441 --> 00:07:22,643
What was that about?

151
00:07:22,776 --> 00:07:25,445
Oh, Roger came to draw
the Duke's bath.

152
00:07:25,546 --> 00:07:30,150
They had an arrangement for him
to do so whenever he was here.

153
00:07:30,283 --> 00:07:32,085
He took morning baths?

154
00:07:32,152 --> 00:07:35,288
Then why was he taking
a nighttime shower?

155
00:07:36,056 --> 00:07:38,058
We'll need to get
as much information as we can

156
00:07:38,158 --> 00:07:39,058
from your staff.

157
00:07:39,126 --> 00:07:40,928
You said that the towel bar

158
00:07:40,994 --> 00:07:43,664
just came off the wall?

159
00:07:43,797 --> 00:07:45,666
Has anything like that
ever happened

160
00:07:45,766 --> 00:07:48,936
- at the Hotel Reilly before?
- Well, not recently.

161
00:07:49,036 --> 00:07:51,038
We've had some incidents
of wear and tear,

162
00:07:51,138 --> 00:07:54,508
but that's why
we've begun renovations,

163
00:07:54,608 --> 00:07:56,977
including this very suite.

164
00:07:57,110 --> 00:07:58,979
This bathroom was remodeled
six months ago.

165
00:07:59,079 --> 00:08:02,950
So it's very possible
that somebody

166
00:08:03,016 --> 00:08:05,452
broke it off on purpose

167
00:08:05,519 --> 00:08:08,756
and made it look
like an accident.

168
00:08:08,856 --> 00:08:10,724
But how?

169
00:08:14,161 --> 00:08:16,229
I've never seen
anything like this,

170
00:08:16,329 --> 00:08:18,098
and I've worked at the Reilly
for 29 years.

171
00:08:18,198 --> 00:08:20,267
Oh, you must have
so many stories.

172
00:08:20,367 --> 00:08:21,669
Oh, we all do.

173
00:08:21,769 --> 00:08:23,537
Uh, but we're discreet,

174
00:08:23,671 --> 00:08:26,306
which is exactly what I told
Julia Roberts and Ted Kennedy.

175
00:08:26,373 --> 00:08:28,676
- We appreciate it.
- Well, let me know whatever you need,

176
00:08:28,809 --> 00:08:31,144
and, um, uh,
if you can't reach me,

177
00:08:31,244 --> 00:08:34,014
you can speak
to my associate Deandra.

178
00:08:35,282 --> 00:08:37,450
Hello.

179
00:08:37,517 --> 00:08:39,687
De... Uh, what did you say
your name was again?

180
00:08:39,787 --> 00:08:43,123
Um, because you remind me
of a woman I once met

181
00:08:43,222 --> 00:08:45,158
named Denise Jackson.

182
00:08:45,258 --> 00:08:47,561
Well, I'm Deandra Jordan.

183
00:08:47,695 --> 00:08:50,698
Any questions you have,
come to me.

184
00:08:50,798 --> 00:08:52,566
In the meantime,

185
00:08:52,665 --> 00:08:55,569
if you'd like
some complimentary coffee, tea,

186
00:08:55,703 --> 00:08:59,039
or juice, please help yourself.

187
00:08:59,172 --> 00:09:01,541
Thank you.

188
00:09:02,409 --> 00:09:03,777
Who's that?

189
00:09:05,045 --> 00:09:06,880
It's Ruby Lane.

190
00:09:07,014 --> 00:09:09,449
She performs in the café,
lives upstairs.

191
00:09:09,549 --> 00:09:12,920
Wait, the Ruby Lane?
She's still around?

192
00:09:13,053 --> 00:09:14,855
You're out of stevia.

193
00:09:14,922 --> 00:09:17,557
That should not happen
at a decent hotel.

194
00:09:17,691 --> 00:09:21,461
I apologize.
It's been a difficult morning.

195
00:09:21,561 --> 00:09:24,431
Yes, uh, one of the residents,
Duke Sebastian,

196
00:09:24,564 --> 00:09:27,400
slipped in the shower and died.

197
00:09:27,500 --> 00:09:29,269
My God. How tragic.

198
00:09:31,471 --> 00:09:32,940
No surprise.

199
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,575
I'll go let the kitchen know
about the stevia shortage.

200
00:09:35,676 --> 00:09:38,679
This whole place
is falling apart.

201
00:09:38,746 --> 00:09:41,314
Something like this
was bound to happen again.

202
00:09:41,414 --> 00:09:43,884
I just said he slipped
in the shower,

203
00:09:43,951 --> 00:09:46,887
not that there was
any physical damage.

204
00:09:46,954 --> 00:09:49,589
Mm. I assumed.

205
00:09:51,659 --> 00:09:53,226
It's all breaking down.

206
00:09:53,326 --> 00:09:55,428
My room... you have
to jiggle the handle.

207
00:09:55,528 --> 00:09:58,298
You two should come
and see my show.

208
00:09:58,431 --> 00:10:00,768
If you can afford the cover
charge and the two-drink minimum

209
00:10:00,901 --> 00:10:02,269
on a cop's salary.

210
00:10:02,402 --> 00:10:03,804
I'm a captain.

211
00:10:03,937 --> 00:10:05,105
Yeah, but I'll save up.

212
00:10:06,807 --> 00:10:09,442
Oh, hey. I have that very tote.

213
00:10:09,542 --> 00:10:11,378
Well, somewhere
in my collection.

214
00:10:20,387 --> 00:10:21,689
Bye.

215
00:10:23,290 --> 00:10:26,794
Oh, you asked for more
information from housekeeping.

216
00:10:26,894 --> 00:10:29,596
It seems some of the more
expensive items were missing

217
00:10:29,697 --> 00:10:30,831
from the Duke's minibar,

218
00:10:30,964 --> 00:10:32,966
including
the yogurt-covered raisins.

219
00:10:33,066 --> 00:10:34,301
Ooh, I love those.

220
00:10:34,434 --> 00:10:37,237
But there was no sign of them
in the trash.

221
00:10:37,304 --> 00:10:38,939
Well, who would murder someone
and walk off

222
00:10:39,006 --> 00:10:41,641
with the goodies
from the minibar?

223
00:10:41,742 --> 00:10:43,176
Hmm.

224
00:11:01,028 --> 00:11:02,830
Oh, my God,
it's like you're in every story.

225
00:11:02,930 --> 00:11:05,098
Teddy. What are you doing here?

226
00:11:05,165 --> 00:11:08,101
Well, um, I have some news.

227
00:11:08,168 --> 00:11:09,636
Maybe. I think so.

228
00:11:09,703 --> 00:11:11,038
But if you're reading
about Alec's new girlfriend,

229
00:11:11,138 --> 00:11:13,040
- it can wait.
- Oh, uh...

230
00:11:13,173 --> 00:11:16,309
Whoever she is,
she has my sympathy.

231
00:11:16,376 --> 00:11:18,045
- You sure?
- Positive.

232
00:11:18,145 --> 00:11:22,515
So, um, what is your news,
maybe, you think so?

233
00:11:22,615 --> 00:11:27,154
Well, um, Roy and I
may be getting married.

234
00:11:27,220 --> 00:11:28,188
What?

235
00:11:28,288 --> 00:11:29,356
- Teddy.
- Yeah.

236
00:11:29,456 --> 00:11:31,291
- Oh, I'm so happy.
- Ah!

237
00:11:31,358 --> 00:11:33,927
- Well, I said maybe. Um...
- Okay.

238
00:11:34,027 --> 00:11:35,929
But we did have a conversation

239
00:11:36,029 --> 00:11:37,030
that felt like it,

240
00:11:37,164 --> 00:11:38,531
though we changed subjects

241
00:11:38,631 --> 00:11:40,734
- because I started hyperventilating.
- Oh.

242
00:11:40,868 --> 00:11:42,369
Well, I am thrilled,

243
00:11:42,502 --> 00:11:45,205
to the extent
that it's more than maybe.

244
00:11:45,305 --> 00:11:48,008
Yeah, but the thing is,
I'm pretty sure Roy wants me

245
00:11:48,075 --> 00:11:50,543
to propose because
I'm basically allergic

246
00:11:50,643 --> 00:11:52,679
- to overt romantic gestures.
- That is true,

247
00:11:52,746 --> 00:11:54,948
but have no fear,
I have so many ideas.

248
00:11:55,048 --> 00:11:57,317
- Uh...
- Okay. Did you know

249
00:11:57,417 --> 00:11:59,753
that you can order skywriting
over Times Square?

250
00:11:59,887 --> 00:12:03,757
Yeah, no. Um, I was thinking
something lower-key. Like, um,

251
00:12:03,891 --> 00:12:06,393
during the finale of a show
that we're watching on Thursday,

252
00:12:06,493 --> 00:12:09,196
sharing a frozen Hawaiian pizza
with a thrift store ring

253
00:12:09,262 --> 00:12:11,264
hidden under a piece
of Canadian bacon.

254
00:12:12,365 --> 00:12:15,702
Sometimes I forget that,
in some ways,

255
00:12:15,803 --> 00:12:17,237
you do take after your father,

256
00:12:17,337 --> 00:12:21,074
who proposed to me
in a footnote in a legal brief.

257
00:12:21,174 --> 00:12:22,843
Okay, um...

258
00:12:22,943 --> 00:12:25,512
Well, what-what if I cooked for
him, just the way you taught me?

259
00:12:25,578 --> 00:12:27,280
Yeah... what else you got?

260
00:12:27,414 --> 00:12:29,950
You know what? It's gonna be
fine, even without your help.

261
00:12:30,083 --> 00:12:32,719
So I will, uh,
let you know how it goes.

262
00:12:32,786 --> 00:12:34,788
- Oh.
- Oh, God.

263
00:12:34,888 --> 00:12:37,024
We're really
gonna do this, maybe.

264
00:12:47,667 --> 00:12:50,770
And this is our business center.

265
00:12:50,871 --> 00:12:52,272
We can talk in here.

266
00:12:52,372 --> 00:12:54,875
- Why in the business center?
- Oh, nobody ever uses it.

267
00:12:54,942 --> 00:12:57,477
- Oh.
- So, start from the beginning.

268
00:12:57,577 --> 00:13:00,881
Right. This hotel has been
engaged in shady bookkeeping

269
00:13:00,981 --> 00:13:04,317
and tax fraud since it was built
during Prohibition.

270
00:13:04,417 --> 00:13:05,618
Wow, that is the beginning.

271
00:13:05,752 --> 00:13:07,620
And with Alec Bloom
as the new mayor

272
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,990
promising greater scrutiny,

273
00:13:10,123 --> 00:13:14,394
the current owner
Havenford Realty Group...

274
00:13:14,494 --> 00:13:15,628
they want out.

275
00:13:15,728 --> 00:13:18,165
But any sale depends on approval

276
00:13:18,265 --> 00:13:19,967
from the long-term residents.

277
00:13:20,067 --> 00:13:23,436
The Duke came back to New York
to cast his vote,

278
00:13:23,503 --> 00:13:27,140
but after what happened,
the vote has been postponed.

279
00:13:27,274 --> 00:13:28,775
Any idea who the buyer is?

280
00:13:28,842 --> 00:13:30,377
Havenford isn't saying.

281
00:13:30,477 --> 00:13:33,680
It's part of my mission
to find out, but my guess is,

282
00:13:33,780 --> 00:13:36,649
it's one of the mysterious
guests staying here this week.

283
00:13:36,749 --> 00:13:40,053
I've spotted a mob boss,
a Saudi sheik,

284
00:13:40,153 --> 00:13:42,856
and a Russian oligarch,
but I can't be sure.

285
00:13:42,956 --> 00:13:44,224
And you think the Duke
could have been murdered

286
00:13:44,324 --> 00:13:45,859
- because of his vote?
- I don't know,

287
00:13:45,959 --> 00:13:48,561
but the timing is suspicious.

288
00:13:48,661 --> 00:13:50,964
Ruby Lane would have a vote.
She lives here.

289
00:13:51,064 --> 00:13:53,300
Could she be involved
in those financial schemes?

290
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,036
You mean the
lady who steals two gallons

291
00:13:56,169 --> 00:13:57,537
of lobby coffee every morning

292
00:13:57,637 --> 00:13:59,539
and who can't remember
her lyrics?

293
00:13:59,639 --> 00:14:01,141
- I doubt it.
- All right.

294
00:14:01,208 --> 00:14:03,476
I think I'll have some lunch
in the hotel lobby bar

295
00:14:03,543 --> 00:14:05,012
and interview the guests.

296
00:14:05,145 --> 00:14:06,279
Are you sure
you're not just trying

297
00:14:06,346 --> 00:14:08,115
to soak up the atmosphere?

298
00:14:08,181 --> 00:14:10,850
I can do both.

299
00:14:10,951 --> 00:14:13,053
Uh, hey, do you happen
to know what floor

300
00:14:13,186 --> 00:14:14,787
Ruby Lane lives on?

301
00:14:22,029 --> 00:14:23,796
- You have a good eye.
- Oh.

302
00:14:23,897 --> 00:14:25,865
I don't know about that.

303
00:14:25,966 --> 00:14:27,734
I just like beautiful things.

304
00:14:27,867 --> 00:14:29,036
And dogs.

305
00:14:29,169 --> 00:14:30,870
The exquisite Reilly murals

306
00:14:30,971 --> 00:14:33,506
once belonged to the Blick
family of the Blick Museum.

307
00:14:33,573 --> 00:14:35,742
I happen to be very close
to several Blicks.

308
00:14:35,875 --> 00:14:37,644
Montgomery Blakemont III,

309
00:14:37,744 --> 00:14:40,013
art connoisseur and
philanthropist. Call me Monty.

310
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,482
Hi, Monty.
Elsbeth Tascioni.

311
00:14:42,549 --> 00:14:45,018
Consent decree lawyer
with the NYPD.

312
00:14:45,085 --> 00:14:47,154
I'm talking art appreciation
with the fuzz.

313
00:14:47,254 --> 00:14:48,521
How fantastic is that?

314
00:14:48,621 --> 00:14:50,090
Pretty fantastic.

315
00:14:50,223 --> 00:14:51,324
This hotel is filled
with great art,

316
00:14:51,391 --> 00:14:52,692
but not all of it
in public spaces.

317
00:14:52,792 --> 00:14:53,994
There are treasures to be found

318
00:14:54,061 --> 00:14:55,395
- in certain suites.
- Wow.

319
00:14:55,495 --> 00:14:57,931
- You seem to know so much.
- I do.

320
00:14:58,031 --> 00:14:59,399
- I keep a place here.
- Oh.

321
00:14:59,499 --> 00:15:01,101
Were you here
when the Duke died?

322
00:15:01,201 --> 00:15:03,870
Oh, yes. I was in the café.

323
00:15:03,937 --> 00:15:05,305
- Oh.
- Uh, in the first show,

324
00:15:05,405 --> 00:15:07,274
Ruby forgot her lyrics,
it was epic.

325
00:15:07,407 --> 00:15:10,210
And then, at
the late show, she was on fire.

326
00:15:10,277 --> 00:15:12,645
You went to the café
twice in one night?

327
00:15:12,745 --> 00:15:15,182
- Mm.
- That's a four-drink minimum.

328
00:15:15,282 --> 00:15:16,950
Isn't that expensive?

329
00:15:18,385 --> 00:15:21,454
Excuse me. Ah.
It's the Metropolitan Museum.

330
00:15:21,588 --> 00:15:23,523
I'm gifting them $20 million,
and we're arguing

331
00:15:23,623 --> 00:15:25,125
over the size
of my name on the plaque.

332
00:15:25,258 --> 00:15:26,859
- Can you imagine?
- No.

333
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,063
This is Monty. Are you ready
to talk some sense?

334
00:15:30,763 --> 00:15:32,465
Okay, great.

335
00:15:32,565 --> 00:15:34,634
Thank you.

336
00:15:35,668 --> 00:15:37,804
Oh, hello again.

337
00:15:37,937 --> 00:15:39,606
- Aren't you getting in?
- Oh, no.

338
00:15:39,706 --> 00:15:41,408
Uh, actually,
I-I changed my mind.

339
00:15:41,474 --> 00:15:44,811
Oh. Well, suit yourself.
Excuse me, I have to rehearse.

340
00:15:44,944 --> 00:15:47,414
You still need to rehearse
after all these years?

341
00:15:47,514 --> 00:15:49,915
Well, I don't need to,
but I dropped something

342
00:15:49,983 --> 00:15:51,718
the other night,
and Jolly, my accompanist,

343
00:15:51,784 --> 00:15:53,120
got his knickers in a twist.

344
00:15:53,220 --> 00:15:56,323
Oh.
Um, is there any chance

345
00:15:56,456 --> 00:15:59,259
- that I could sit in and watch?
- No.

346
00:15:59,326 --> 00:16:02,795
Oh, please?
I-I-It would be so fascinating

347
00:16:02,929 --> 00:16:05,332
to watch a legend at work.

348
00:16:05,432 --> 00:16:06,633
Do you go to nightclubs a lot?

349
00:16:06,733 --> 00:16:08,068
Uh, no, that's just the thing.

350
00:16:08,135 --> 00:16:10,903
I know so little about cabaret
as an art form.

351
00:16:11,004 --> 00:16:13,273
Um, is it anything like Glee?

352
00:16:14,241 --> 00:16:15,842
Are you for real?

353
00:16:15,975 --> 00:16:19,812
You mean am I... serious?
Absolutely.

354
00:16:19,912 --> 00:16:23,083
Although... I am really here
with the police,

355
00:16:23,183 --> 00:16:25,752
helping them
with their murder investigation.

356
00:16:38,498 --> 00:16:41,234
Yes, taking a chance on love,
which is what you did

357
00:16:41,334 --> 00:16:43,803
when you made your reservation
six months ago.

358
00:16:43,870 --> 00:16:45,705
Blah, blah, blah.
We do that whole bit.

359
00:16:45,838 --> 00:16:47,340
Oh, so we're not
just winging it?

360
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,177
I forgot. I said I was sorry.

361
00:16:51,344 --> 00:16:53,580
Hey, Little Orphan Annie,
what do you think so far?

362
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:54,947
You're incredible.

363
00:16:55,014 --> 00:16:59,486
You make every word
so... specific.

364
00:16:59,552 --> 00:17:03,022
It's like, uh, it's like
you're singing just to me.

365
00:17:03,156 --> 00:17:04,790
Well, I mean, uh,
you are right now,

366
00:17:04,857 --> 00:17:09,061
but it's like...
you're speaking to my soul.

367
00:17:09,195 --> 00:17:10,963
She gets it.

368
00:17:11,064 --> 00:17:14,901
Cabaret is the most intimate
form of communication.

369
00:17:15,034 --> 00:17:18,003
Up here,
there's nowhere to hide.

370
00:17:18,070 --> 00:17:20,906
The lights, the proximity
expose everything.

371
00:17:21,007 --> 00:17:23,742
Believe me, what I do...

372
00:17:23,876 --> 00:17:26,146
is not about a beautiful voice.

373
00:17:26,213 --> 00:17:27,914
Oh, we believe you.

374
00:17:29,048 --> 00:17:33,186
Ignore him. The way I do
when he falls down in a gutter.

375
00:17:33,286 --> 00:17:34,954
You two are so funny.

376
00:17:35,054 --> 00:17:36,889
How long have you two
been working together?

377
00:17:37,023 --> 00:17:40,893
Let's see, next month
it will have been an eternity.

378
00:17:40,993 --> 00:17:43,062
But it's worth
it to show up every night

379
00:17:43,196 --> 00:17:44,864
and dream of getting paid.

380
00:17:44,931 --> 00:17:46,499
Including two shows last night.

381
00:17:46,599 --> 00:17:48,735
- As usual.
- What do you do between shows?

382
00:17:48,835 --> 00:17:51,571
- I have dinner in here.
- Except the night before last.

383
00:17:51,671 --> 00:17:53,873
You mean the night
the Duke died?

384
00:17:53,973 --> 00:17:58,778
Oh, right. That night I wanted
to watch myself on the tube.

385
00:17:58,878 --> 00:18:02,449
I recently shot a guest spot
on Father Crime.

386
00:18:02,582 --> 00:18:04,617
Oh, I know that show.

387
00:18:04,717 --> 00:18:06,586
Wow, you must be
a great actress.

388
00:18:06,686 --> 00:18:09,055
Father Crime gets
the best guest stars,

389
00:18:09,156 --> 00:18:11,124
probably because
it shoots in New York.

390
00:18:11,258 --> 00:18:14,694
I was great,
and I had room service.

391
00:18:14,761 --> 00:18:18,865
Speaking of food, you probably
need lunch, don't you?

392
00:18:18,931 --> 00:18:22,068
Cherie, bring this lovely lady
a Waldorf salad,

393
00:18:22,169 --> 00:18:24,204
and bring one for me
while you're at it.

394
00:18:24,271 --> 00:18:27,106
- Thank you, Cherie, but...
- It's the best thing they do. You'll love it.

395
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,809
And you'll need your strength,
investigating that...

396
00:18:31,043 --> 00:18:33,546
- Did you say it was a murder investigation?
- Mm-hmm.

397
00:18:33,613 --> 00:18:36,483
Duke Sebastian Mason,
Lord of Sussexford.

398
00:18:36,583 --> 00:18:37,784
Did-did you know him?

399
00:18:40,587 --> 00:18:44,657
No, but I heard he was
at my show the night he died.

400
00:18:45,225 --> 00:18:47,260
- Not a bad way to go.
- I'll say.

401
00:18:47,327 --> 00:18:49,962
Especially if you made
the reservation

402
00:18:50,062 --> 00:18:51,598
six months earlier.

403
00:18:51,664 --> 00:18:54,767
You have a cute personality.
Do you sing?

404
00:18:54,834 --> 00:18:57,003
Me? Oh, gosh, no, no.

405
00:18:57,136 --> 00:18:59,672
But, um, my son Teddy...
he has a beautiful voice.

406
00:18:59,806 --> 00:19:02,509
He could be on Broadway,
but he's too shy.

407
00:19:02,609 --> 00:19:05,812
He recently told me
he may be getting married.

408
00:19:05,912 --> 00:19:07,480
- Really? Congratulations.
- Thanks.

409
00:19:07,614 --> 00:19:10,317
To be honest,
I'm a little nervous about it.

410
00:19:11,251 --> 00:19:13,420
Yeah, I'm afraid
he-he might pull away.

411
00:19:13,486 --> 00:19:17,324
I'm wondering, you know,
how I'll handle that.

412
00:20:36,569 --> 00:20:38,170
Oh, I love that song.

413
00:20:38,271 --> 00:20:42,074
I think that's my favorite song
by Irving Berlin.

414
00:20:43,142 --> 00:20:45,945
I thought you knew nothing
about cabaret.

415
00:20:46,779 --> 00:20:48,214
Oh, I don't.

416
00:20:48,315 --> 00:20:50,383
But I know
the Great American Songbook.

417
00:20:50,483 --> 00:20:52,852
I'm not a monster.

418
00:20:53,586 --> 00:20:57,357
I don't like your act, sister.
It's phony.

419
00:20:57,457 --> 00:21:00,960
Cherie, send my lunch upstairs,

420
00:21:01,060 --> 00:21:03,763
and charge it to her.

421
00:21:03,863 --> 00:21:07,300
You've got a lot of nerve,
Elsbeth.

422
00:21:09,569 --> 00:21:12,472
With all the things in the world
to get worked up about...

423
00:21:12,605 --> 00:21:14,341
Is it the drinking?

424
00:21:14,441 --> 00:21:17,944
I noticed she has a glass
in her hand in all the photos.

425
00:21:18,044 --> 00:21:21,047
That's just a prop to give her
a false air of sophistication.

426
00:21:21,113 --> 00:21:24,183
Hers is always filled
with water, unlike mine.

427
00:21:24,283 --> 00:21:26,853
So, when she forgets
her lyrics...

428
00:21:26,953 --> 00:21:29,889
- Ms. Tascioni, come quick.
- Oh.

429
00:21:29,989 --> 00:21:31,290
What is it?

430
00:21:31,391 --> 00:21:33,326
Housekeeping heard someone
inside the Duke's suite.

431
00:21:33,460 --> 00:21:36,195
So you think the killer
returned to the scene of the crime?

432
00:21:36,295 --> 00:21:38,331
Whoever's in there, open up.

433
00:21:38,431 --> 00:21:40,467
This is the police.

434
00:21:47,674 --> 00:21:49,509
Oh, hey, you.

435
00:21:56,148 --> 00:21:58,585
Mr. Blakemont, we have learned
from someone at the hotel

436
00:21:58,651 --> 00:22:02,489
that your name doesn't appear
on any suite here at the hotel.

437
00:22:02,622 --> 00:22:04,791
Was it that new woman Deandra?
She seems on the ball.

438
00:22:04,891 --> 00:22:06,426
Why are you hanging
around the hotel?

439
00:22:06,526 --> 00:22:08,795
All right, if you must know,
I'm staying in a suite

440
00:22:08,895 --> 00:22:10,763
that's owned by a former boss

441
00:22:10,863 --> 00:22:13,199
but only while my townhouse
is being renovated.

442
00:22:13,299 --> 00:22:14,667
And does your former boss know?

443
00:22:14,767 --> 00:22:18,671
Of course he does, technically.
But don't worry,

444
00:22:18,771 --> 00:22:20,773
all of my employers
trust me implicitly.

445
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:22,709
That's why they give me
power of attorney.

446
00:22:22,842 --> 00:22:24,677
But what were you doing here
in the Duke's suite?

447
00:22:24,777 --> 00:22:26,045
I was looking at the artwork.

448
00:22:26,178 --> 00:22:27,514
In a dead man's room?

449
00:22:27,614 --> 00:22:29,782
As I told Elsbeth,
not all of the art at the Reilly

450
00:22:29,882 --> 00:22:31,884
is publicly displayed.
This room

451
00:22:32,018 --> 00:22:33,420
has an Edward Hopper

452
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,254
plus a tiny Titian.

453
00:22:36,022 --> 00:22:37,557
It's true. He did tell me that.

454
00:22:37,690 --> 00:22:39,358
Well, you're still a suspect.

455
00:22:39,459 --> 00:22:42,361
And since you're such an expert
on the Hotel Reilly,

456
00:22:42,462 --> 00:22:45,698
what do you know about that vote
to approve a sale?

457
00:22:45,798 --> 00:22:48,801
I know everything about it. My
former boss made me his proxy.

458
00:22:48,901 --> 00:22:50,169
Of course he did.

459
00:22:50,236 --> 00:22:51,538
Which way do you think
it would have gone?

460
00:22:51,638 --> 00:22:53,873
Oh, it was split
right down the middle.

461
00:22:54,006 --> 00:22:56,375
The in-favor side insisted
the Duke come for the vote

462
00:22:56,509 --> 00:22:57,410
to put them over the top.

463
00:22:57,544 --> 00:22:58,811
It was very exciting.

464
00:22:58,878 --> 00:23:00,680
- Why? Why did it matter so much?
- Well,

465
00:23:00,747 --> 00:23:02,649
rumor is, the mystery buyer
planned a major,

466
00:23:02,715 --> 00:23:05,051
very tasteful renovation,
but to pay for it,

467
00:23:05,151 --> 00:23:06,553
they were gonna have
to clean up the books,

468
00:23:06,653 --> 00:23:08,054
so that meant that
the long-term residents

469
00:23:08,154 --> 00:23:09,822
would have to settle up
their maintenance,

470
00:23:09,889 --> 00:23:12,459
rents, bar tabs.
Some of these people

471
00:23:12,559 --> 00:23:13,693
have been getting away
with murder

472
00:23:13,793 --> 00:23:15,127
while guzzling the free coffee.

473
00:23:15,227 --> 00:23:17,163
- Mm.
- And what about you?

474
00:23:17,229 --> 00:23:18,665
Eh... how were you gonna vote?

475
00:23:18,731 --> 00:23:20,633
I was in favor, all the way.

476
00:23:20,767 --> 00:23:22,201
I encouraged the others.

477
00:23:22,301 --> 00:23:24,370
Here, let me see my phone,
I'll show you.

478
00:23:26,706 --> 00:23:29,509
I have a thing
about freeloaders.

479
00:23:29,609 --> 00:23:31,277
By the way,
the hotel Wi-Fi is pretty weak,

480
00:23:31,410 --> 00:23:34,447
but I have the code
to the Sephora next door.

481
00:23:35,715 --> 00:23:39,251
Roy. To what
do I owe the pleasure?

482
00:23:39,351 --> 00:23:40,720
I have some news. Well, maybe.

483
00:23:40,787 --> 00:23:44,190
Teddy and I
may be getting married.

484
00:23:44,290 --> 00:23:48,360
Oh, that is so great.
I am so happy.

485
00:23:48,461 --> 00:23:50,763
I mean, maybe.
We had a conversation about it,

486
00:23:50,830 --> 00:23:53,332
but then Teddy
started hyperventilating.

487
00:23:53,466 --> 00:23:54,767
Oh, yeah, he does that.

488
00:23:56,268 --> 00:23:58,471
But before anything happens,

489
00:23:58,571 --> 00:24:01,674
I wanted to come
and ask your permission.

490
00:24:01,808 --> 00:24:05,244
Oh, Roy. Of course.

491
00:24:05,344 --> 00:24:06,946
- Yes.
- Okay.

492
00:24:07,046 --> 00:24:09,015
I didn't know
you were so traditional.

493
00:24:09,148 --> 00:24:12,151
That's why I want
a super romantic proposal scene,

494
00:24:12,251 --> 00:24:13,853
and we both know
Teddy will never.

495
00:24:13,986 --> 00:24:15,321
- Mm.
- What can I say?

496
00:24:15,421 --> 00:24:17,189
I'm old-fashioned,
brought up in the suburbs,

497
00:24:17,289 --> 00:24:19,225
repressed but very performative.

498
00:24:19,325 --> 00:24:21,494
Teddy better get used to it.

499
00:24:21,628 --> 00:24:22,995
Uh, wait.

500
00:24:23,095 --> 00:24:24,531
Does that mean
that you and Teddy

501
00:24:24,664 --> 00:24:27,199
might move to the suburbs
eventually?

502
00:24:27,299 --> 00:24:30,937
Probably. I mean, I love
New York, but I want kids.

503
00:24:31,037 --> 00:24:33,205
Oh.

504
00:24:35,975 --> 00:24:39,979
Okay, I still think
she's too much of a train wreck

505
00:24:40,046 --> 00:24:41,514
to kill anybody,

506
00:24:41,614 --> 00:24:44,216
but I did some digging
into Ruby's account.

507
00:24:44,316 --> 00:24:46,252
It's true, she is in arrears,

508
00:24:46,352 --> 00:24:50,222
but my friend in bookkeeping
hasn't told me how much yet.

509
00:24:50,322 --> 00:24:52,559
Oh, there you are. Deandra.

510
00:24:52,692 --> 00:24:54,861
- I need you.
- Coming.

511
00:24:55,695 --> 00:24:57,730
- Excuse me.
- Uh-huh.

512
00:24:58,731 --> 00:25:01,067
Now can we do a more formal
interview with her?

513
00:25:01,167 --> 00:25:04,136
I suppose. And it might be
interesting to see her suite.

514
00:25:04,203 --> 00:25:06,405
Ah. I bet it's pretty glamorous.

515
00:25:06,505 --> 00:25:08,307
Oh, sorry, it's such a mess.

516
00:25:08,374 --> 00:25:11,210
If I'd known you were coming,
I would have been out.

517
00:25:11,343 --> 00:25:14,213
- How long have you lived here?
- Who knows?

518
00:25:14,313 --> 00:25:17,383
I paid $28,000 for it,
if it gives you an idea.

519
00:25:17,483 --> 00:25:18,651
Wow.

520
00:25:18,718 --> 00:25:20,186
And how do you feel
about the possible sale?

521
00:25:20,252 --> 00:25:23,055
I was mad they postponed.
I was voting yes.

522
00:25:23,155 --> 00:25:24,523
- You were?
- Hell yes.

523
00:25:24,591 --> 00:25:26,893
I'm ready to sell.
I'm tired of New York.

524
00:25:27,026 --> 00:25:29,662
I want to go someplace
where I'm not so damn famous.

525
00:25:29,729 --> 00:25:33,532
Maybe if you didn't walk around
in a mink coat and sunglasses,

526
00:25:33,633 --> 00:25:35,534
people wouldn't recognize you.

527
00:25:35,602 --> 00:25:36,569
Just a thought.

528
00:25:36,703 --> 00:25:41,073
I get cold. Here. Snacks.

529
00:25:41,173 --> 00:25:43,843
Ooh, yogurt-covered raisins.

530
00:25:43,943 --> 00:25:48,681
- Funny, these were missing from the Duke's minibar.
- Yeah?

531
00:25:48,748 --> 00:25:50,683
Well, I take them
from the housekeepers' carts

532
00:25:50,783 --> 00:25:52,084
in the hallway.

533
00:25:52,184 --> 00:25:54,186
This place owes me that much.
I'm a legend.

534
00:25:54,286 --> 00:25:57,023
Yes, you are.

535
00:25:57,089 --> 00:25:58,524
But that's why
I don't understand

536
00:25:58,591 --> 00:26:00,059
why you want to leave here now,
at this point.

537
00:26:00,159 --> 00:26:02,061
Why? Because I'm gonna die soon?

538
00:26:02,128 --> 00:26:05,531
No, because you're
such a fixture here.

539
00:26:07,299 --> 00:26:09,268
This city is too run-down.

540
00:26:09,368 --> 00:26:11,270
It's like...

541
00:26:11,403 --> 00:26:13,272
everything was better
when I was younger, you know?

542
00:26:13,372 --> 00:26:17,777
Or maybe you just get to an age
where you hate everything.

543
00:26:17,910 --> 00:26:19,712
Where are you going to go?

544
00:26:19,779 --> 00:26:23,482
Someplace more elegant...
Vegas, Florida, Phoenix.

545
00:26:23,616 --> 00:26:26,786
And, uh, what about
the money you owe?

546
00:26:26,886 --> 00:26:28,054
What money?

547
00:26:28,154 --> 00:26:29,555
We happen to know
that you're in arrears

548
00:26:29,622 --> 00:26:31,390
- on your maintenance.
- Oh.

549
00:26:31,490 --> 00:26:33,559
Well, selling this place
will take care of all that

550
00:26:33,626 --> 00:26:35,895
and then some.
Now, if you don't have any more

551
00:26:35,962 --> 00:26:38,364
- questions...
- No, no, no. One more thing.

552
00:26:38,464 --> 00:26:41,000
Where were you on the night
of Duke Sebastian's murder?

553
00:26:41,100 --> 00:26:43,069
I already told your friend.

554
00:26:43,135 --> 00:26:44,771
I came up here between shows

555
00:26:44,871 --> 00:26:47,573
to watch myself in a guest role

556
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,176
- on Father Crime.
- Woo-hoo.

557
00:26:50,309 --> 00:26:53,245
I haven't seen this week's
episode yet. What did you play?

558
00:26:53,312 --> 00:26:56,182
I played a nun in a story
about a Mother Superior,

559
00:26:56,282 --> 00:26:58,918
a murderous Mother Superior.

560
00:26:58,985 --> 00:27:00,853
I sang a song
to a bunch of orphans.

561
00:27:00,953 --> 00:27:02,521
- How did it go?
- Not bad.

562
00:27:02,655 --> 00:27:04,991
It really looked like
I was playing the guitar.

563
00:27:05,091 --> 00:27:08,494
So many shows
tell stories about nuns.

564
00:27:08,594 --> 00:27:10,797
Hair and makeup is a breeze.

565
00:27:10,863 --> 00:27:13,700
Ooh, I love index cards.
What are these for?

566
00:27:13,833 --> 00:27:16,168
Those are my contacts. I used
to keep, um, an address book

567
00:27:16,302 --> 00:27:19,205
but kept losing it,
and I use code

568
00:27:19,305 --> 00:27:21,340
so the housekeepers don't call
all my celebrity friends.

569
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,711
Oh, that's smart. I love a code.

570
00:27:24,811 --> 00:27:27,379
Um, "Figaro" for my hairdresser.

571
00:27:27,479 --> 00:27:30,316
"Brontë" for my sister.
"Kid" for Michael Feinstein.

572
00:27:30,382 --> 00:27:32,351
Oh. Who's "Vernon"?

573
00:27:32,484 --> 00:27:36,322
My nephew. One of my nephews.
Grandnephew.

574
00:27:36,422 --> 00:27:38,891
And he is grand.

575
00:27:39,025 --> 00:27:40,893
That looked like
an international number.

576
00:27:40,993 --> 00:27:43,062
He works overseas. I miss him.

577
00:27:43,195 --> 00:27:46,398
I-I don't mean to be rude,
but I do have two shows tonight

578
00:27:46,532 --> 00:27:48,868
and I have to go on vocal rest.

579
00:27:49,001 --> 00:27:50,236
Thanks for your time.

580
00:27:50,369 --> 00:27:52,171
Oh. Mm.

581
00:27:52,271 --> 00:27:53,572
Bye.

582
00:27:53,672 --> 00:27:55,541
She threw you out?

583
00:27:55,674 --> 00:27:58,911
- Pretty much.
- Well, that's Ruby.

584
00:27:59,045 --> 00:28:03,816
Now, this mural is my favorite
work of art at the Hotel Reilly.

585
00:28:03,916 --> 00:28:06,719
The artist Pierre Montclair
worked on it for years.

586
00:28:06,853 --> 00:28:09,021
His daughter Ellie
still lives here.

587
00:28:09,088 --> 00:28:12,191
- You'll know it's her. She wears Coke-bottle glasses.
- Aw.

588
00:28:12,258 --> 00:28:14,460
Apparently, it's filled
with inside jokes.

589
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:16,528
- See the two trombone players?
- Mm-hmm.

590
00:28:16,595 --> 00:28:18,030
The Fortunato Brothers
were twins

591
00:28:18,097 --> 00:28:20,266
who played here for years.

592
00:28:20,399 --> 00:28:21,567
And that couple dancing?

593
00:28:21,700 --> 00:28:23,435
That's Harold,
a former bartender,

594
00:28:23,535 --> 00:28:26,038
and Sylvie from laundry.

595
00:28:26,105 --> 00:28:27,406
They were married
to other people.

596
00:28:27,506 --> 00:28:28,841
Oh, goodness.

597
00:28:30,276 --> 00:28:31,811
Ellie has permission
to add to the mural

598
00:28:31,911 --> 00:28:33,445
when something important
happens here.

599
00:28:33,579 --> 00:28:35,447
- That's nice.
- Mm.

600
00:28:35,581 --> 00:28:39,285
- Is Ruby Lane anywhere?
- Oh, sure. Yeah.

601
00:28:39,418 --> 00:28:41,187
She's right here.

602
00:28:41,287 --> 00:28:43,655
She told Pierre she'd have
to be carried out of here

603
00:28:43,756 --> 00:28:45,524
- feet first.
- Huh.

604
00:28:45,591 --> 00:28:47,794
That's not what she told us.

605
00:28:47,894 --> 00:28:49,896
There you are. Psst.

606
00:28:49,996 --> 00:28:53,032
My friend in bookkeeping
came through.

607
00:28:53,099 --> 00:28:55,267
Take a look at what Ruby owes.

608
00:28:55,367 --> 00:28:57,603
Oh, my Lord.

609
00:28:58,670 --> 00:29:01,273
- That's in dollars?
- A lot of them.

610
00:29:01,373 --> 00:29:03,976
Huh. And plenty of reason
for Ruby

611
00:29:04,110 --> 00:29:08,147
- to do anything to stay here.
- Mm-hmm.

612
00:29:12,985 --> 00:29:14,553
Mother Abigail.

613
00:29:14,653 --> 00:29:16,322
Is Father Garvey right?

614
00:29:16,422 --> 00:29:18,224
Did you kill that pop star?

615
00:29:18,324 --> 00:29:19,591
Of course not.

616
00:29:19,658 --> 00:29:22,028
Then swear. To God.

617
00:29:22,128 --> 00:29:24,797
I can't.

618
00:29:26,365 --> 00:29:28,500
- Huh.
- What are you watching?

619
00:29:28,634 --> 00:29:32,704
Oh. Hey. Uh, this week's episode
of Father Crime.

620
00:29:32,805 --> 00:29:34,140
You pay for that
streaming service?

621
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,142
What? No. Just a free trial.

622
00:29:36,242 --> 00:29:37,944
So, what'd you want
to talk to me about?

623
00:29:38,010 --> 00:29:42,248
Well...
I really think that you should

624
00:29:42,348 --> 00:29:44,616
do something more romantic
when you propose to Roy,

625
00:29:44,716 --> 00:29:46,618
no matter how much
you love frozen pizza.

626
00:29:46,718 --> 00:29:48,921
I don't really want to do
a big thing.

627
00:29:49,021 --> 00:29:52,992
Yes, but you also don't want Roy
to feel disappointed.

628
00:29:53,125 --> 00:29:55,494
I knew this was gonna happen
if I told you.

629
00:29:55,594 --> 00:29:58,297
You've gotten in my head.

630
00:29:58,364 --> 00:29:59,765
Why are you doing this?

631
00:29:59,832 --> 00:30:01,000
Is it because you don't think

632
00:30:01,100 --> 00:30:02,501
I'm mature enough
to get married?

633
00:30:02,601 --> 00:30:05,437
What? No. And maturity
is not a requirement.

634
00:30:05,537 --> 00:30:07,773
You know, sometimes maybe
it's not such a bad thing

635
00:30:07,874 --> 00:30:08,975
that I'm more like Dad.

636
00:30:09,041 --> 00:30:10,276
I doubt that.

637
00:30:10,376 --> 00:30:11,510
Because Roy isn't marrying you.

638
00:30:11,610 --> 00:30:12,811
He's marrying me.

639
00:30:12,912 --> 00:30:14,480
And I don't want him
to get a false sense

640
00:30:14,546 --> 00:30:16,048
of what life with me
is going to be like. You know?

641
00:30:16,148 --> 00:30:17,716
There's gonna be more nights
of TV and pizza

642
00:30:17,850 --> 00:30:19,551
than there is flowers
and skywriting.

643
00:30:19,685 --> 00:30:21,520
Why are people
so against skywriting?

644
00:30:21,620 --> 00:30:23,022
- Chemtrails.
- Those aren't real.

645
00:30:23,155 --> 00:30:25,791
Fine, I'll stay out of it.

646
00:30:25,858 --> 00:30:26,859
Too late!

647
00:30:26,959 --> 00:30:28,227
- Hey.
- Hey.

648
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:29,929
Hey, Teddy.

649
00:30:31,230 --> 00:30:32,198
What's going on?

650
00:30:32,298 --> 00:30:34,901
Nothing, I just...

651
00:30:37,636 --> 00:30:39,805
Do you remember how you proposed
to your wife?

652
00:30:39,906 --> 00:30:41,740
Do I remember?

653
00:30:43,475 --> 00:30:46,545
It cost me two weeks of salary,
but it was worth every penny.

654
00:30:46,645 --> 00:30:50,816
I... still have that...

655
00:30:50,883 --> 00:30:55,054
champagne cork
sitting on my dresser.

656
00:30:56,388 --> 00:30:59,926
And to this day, every year,

657
00:31:00,026 --> 00:31:02,794
on our anniversary, Claudia...

658
00:31:02,895 --> 00:31:05,564
tells the kids about that night.

659
00:31:06,865 --> 00:31:09,868
She remembers every detail,

660
00:31:09,936 --> 00:31:12,104
and so do they.

661
00:31:13,572 --> 00:31:17,576
Oh, you should see
the way her eyes...

662
00:31:17,676 --> 00:31:21,513
light up when she even

663
00:31:21,613 --> 00:31:23,282
thinks about it.

664
00:31:23,415 --> 00:31:25,817
I think I just did.

665
00:31:30,056 --> 00:31:32,158
No, I said stevia.

666
00:31:32,258 --> 00:31:33,525
Yes, ma'am.

667
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:36,362
Hello.

668
00:31:36,428 --> 00:31:39,031
Would you, uh,
care for some company?

669
00:31:39,898 --> 00:31:40,933
Suit yourself.

670
00:31:41,033 --> 00:31:42,834
Ah. Thank you.

671
00:31:46,305 --> 00:31:49,375
I watched your episode
of Father Crime.

672
00:31:49,441 --> 00:31:50,576
You were very good.

673
00:31:50,676 --> 00:31:52,945
Oh, thank you.

674
00:31:53,045 --> 00:31:55,081
But I kept waiting for the song

675
00:31:55,147 --> 00:31:57,783
that you said you sang
to the orphans.

676
00:31:57,916 --> 00:31:59,785
It wasn't in the episode.

677
00:32:01,087 --> 00:32:03,389
- I guess it got cut.
- Right.

678
00:32:03,489 --> 00:32:06,758
But you said you watched it
the night of the murder.

679
00:32:08,827 --> 00:32:11,663
I'm old. I must have confused
what we shot

680
00:32:11,797 --> 00:32:12,999
and what they used.

681
00:32:13,099 --> 00:32:15,434
Sue me.
It's not out of character.

682
00:32:15,501 --> 00:32:16,969
Right.

683
00:32:17,069 --> 00:32:19,805
And you definitely
are a character.

684
00:32:20,973 --> 00:32:23,675
That must be exhausting
sometimes,

685
00:32:23,775 --> 00:32:25,544
to be the way you are, just

686
00:32:25,644 --> 00:32:30,749
to keep your place
in the city's... zeitgeist.

687
00:32:32,118 --> 00:32:36,088
I wasn't always like this,
and I wasn't always alone.

688
00:32:36,188 --> 00:32:37,856
I was married.

689
00:32:39,591 --> 00:32:42,094
Herman had a...

690
00:32:42,194 --> 00:32:43,295
had a bagel company.

691
00:32:43,362 --> 00:32:45,331
We had a lot of laughs.

692
00:32:46,265 --> 00:32:47,833
He died too young
and left me enough

693
00:32:47,966 --> 00:32:50,102
to buy that dump upstairs.

694
00:32:50,969 --> 00:32:53,372
After that, I realized...

695
00:32:53,505 --> 00:32:55,174
the only way to survive

696
00:32:55,274 --> 00:32:58,510
being an older woman
in this city

697
00:32:58,610 --> 00:33:02,348
is to be... memorable.

698
00:33:03,882 --> 00:33:06,152
Not just yesterday's news.

699
00:33:09,221 --> 00:33:11,823
Oh, it's, um...

700
00:33:11,890 --> 00:33:13,125
nice chatting with you.

701
00:33:13,192 --> 00:33:15,727
I have a hair appointment.

702
00:33:15,861 --> 00:33:19,231
See you around, Elsbeth.

703
00:33:31,777 --> 00:33:34,480
That sounds familiar.

704
00:33:34,580 --> 00:33:36,415
It's "September Song."

705
00:33:45,191 --> 00:33:48,760
For me, it's a long while
from May to October.

706
00:33:48,894 --> 00:33:50,962
It's from a show called
Knickerbocker Holiday.

707
00:33:51,063 --> 00:33:53,499
Oh. What was the show about?

708
00:33:53,599 --> 00:33:56,335
It was a musical comedy
about fascism.

709
00:33:56,435 --> 00:33:58,237
It wasn't very popular,

710
00:33:58,370 --> 00:34:01,240
but it gets revived
every once in a while.

711
00:34:01,340 --> 00:34:06,178
The music is so beautiful...
and sad.

712
00:34:06,278 --> 00:34:07,546
Kurt Weill.

713
00:34:07,646 --> 00:34:09,880
He wrote it a few years
after fleeing the Nazis.

714
00:34:09,981 --> 00:34:12,884
He figured people
are safe in America.

715
00:34:12,951 --> 00:34:15,587
Maybe that's why
it sounds so sad.

716
00:34:16,455 --> 00:34:20,659
So the Great American Songbook
isn't just American, is it?

717
00:34:20,759 --> 00:34:22,428
Oh, no. Some of our
best composers

718
00:34:22,527 --> 00:34:25,164
came through Ellis Island
on the way to Tin Pan Alley.

719
00:34:25,264 --> 00:34:27,366
Irving Berlin. Vernon Duke.

720
00:34:27,433 --> 00:34:29,534
- Igor Stravinsky.
- Wait.

721
00:34:29,635 --> 00:34:31,137
Vernon Duke?

722
00:34:32,737 --> 00:34:36,942
"Vernon" was on the index card
above Ruby's bed.

723
00:34:37,042 --> 00:34:40,146
It must've been
code for Duke Sebastian,

724
00:34:40,279 --> 00:34:43,181
whom she claimed she didn't
know. She definitely knew him.

725
00:34:43,282 --> 00:34:44,949
Jolly, was there
anything different

726
00:34:45,083 --> 00:34:46,717
about the second show
that night?

727
00:34:46,784 --> 00:34:49,455
Was Ruby distracted
or out of breath?

728
00:34:49,554 --> 00:34:52,123
She seemed happy,
which was different.

729
00:34:52,257 --> 00:34:53,925
Oh, and she changed
that one bit.

730
00:34:54,025 --> 00:34:56,728
- What bit?
- She didn't take out her Mabel Short Award.

731
00:34:56,795 --> 00:34:58,164
She said she forgot to bring it,

732
00:34:58,297 --> 00:35:00,732
but when I placed
the tote bag onstage,

733
00:35:00,799 --> 00:35:02,901
it weighed the same as always.

734
00:35:04,770 --> 00:35:06,638
Like Ruby said, "The lights,

735
00:35:06,738 --> 00:35:11,977
the proximity
expose everything."

736
00:36:02,060 --> 00:36:05,063
Hey, do you mind?
I'm working.

737
00:36:05,163 --> 00:36:07,132
Ruby Lane, you're under arrest
for the murder

738
00:36:07,199 --> 00:36:10,336
of Duke Sebastian Mason,
Lord of Sussexford.

739
00:36:10,402 --> 00:36:13,071
- That's absurd.
- It did seem so,

740
00:36:13,205 --> 00:36:17,008
but we now know you owe
this hotel so much money,

741
00:36:17,075 --> 00:36:20,412
you could not let the Duke vote
to approve the sale.

742
00:36:20,546 --> 00:36:22,214
So you lied,

743
00:36:22,348 --> 00:36:24,683
pretending you didn't know him,
but you had

744
00:36:24,783 --> 00:36:26,385
his phone number taped
to your wall.

745
00:36:26,518 --> 00:36:28,587
We found it in your trash.

746
00:36:28,720 --> 00:36:31,390
And your alibi was shaky.

747
00:36:31,523 --> 00:36:34,726
You pretended that you watched
your episode of Father Crime,

748
00:36:34,826 --> 00:36:37,729
but you didn't know
they'd cut your song.

749
00:36:37,863 --> 00:36:39,565
And don't forget
the yogurt-covered raisins

750
00:36:39,698 --> 00:36:40,732
from the minibar.

751
00:36:40,832 --> 00:36:42,368
How could we?

752
00:36:42,468 --> 00:36:44,903
All that proves nothing.
I'm old,

753
00:36:45,003 --> 00:36:48,707
drunk, outrageous.
I get confused.

754
00:36:48,807 --> 00:36:51,076
No. I don't think you do.

755
00:36:51,176 --> 00:36:55,080
See, I think you pretend
to drink and forget your lyrics

756
00:36:55,180 --> 00:36:58,784
- to make yourself memorable.
- It's working.

757
00:36:58,884 --> 00:37:00,352
But you're right, it is all

758
00:37:00,452 --> 00:37:02,254
circumstantial
without the murder weapon.

759
00:37:02,388 --> 00:37:05,957
Now, I figured that
you used the shoehorn

760
00:37:06,091 --> 00:37:07,626
from the Duke's closet

761
00:37:07,726 --> 00:37:10,329
to pry off the towel bar
and then make it look like a...

762
00:37:10,429 --> 00:37:12,197
slip-and-fall accident.

763
00:37:12,298 --> 00:37:14,766
But the Duke's
room wasn't as decrepit as yours,

764
00:37:14,866 --> 00:37:18,437
so you had to find something
heavy to use as a hammer.

765
00:37:18,537 --> 00:37:21,573
Like that award
you carry around.

766
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,276
- Can anyone follow this?
- It's not that hard.

767
00:37:24,376 --> 00:37:28,113
But the base of your
Mabel Short Award is.

768
00:37:28,213 --> 00:37:30,816
After you used it
to kill the Duke

769
00:37:30,916 --> 00:37:35,020
and then hammer off the
towel bar, you came back here...

770
00:37:35,954 --> 00:37:38,657
to the second show,
only this time

771
00:37:38,757 --> 00:37:40,392
you cut the bit
where you take the award

772
00:37:40,492 --> 00:37:44,129
out of your tote, which, um,
really upset Jolly.

773
00:37:44,262 --> 00:37:46,131
I'm a creature of habit
and professionalism.

774
00:37:46,231 --> 00:37:49,234
You didn't take it out
because you realized

775
00:37:49,301 --> 00:37:52,738
the stage lights and the
proximity to the audience

776
00:37:52,804 --> 00:37:56,308
would have exposed any blood
or other evidence,

777
00:37:56,442 --> 00:37:58,810
so you waited
until after the show

778
00:37:58,944 --> 00:38:01,447
where you could
wash it all away.

779
00:38:01,547 --> 00:38:04,015
- That is a wild accusation.
- Yes, but

780
00:38:04,149 --> 00:38:07,285
we can prove it. All we need
to do is examine your award.

781
00:38:07,353 --> 00:38:08,787
Well, you can't.

782
00:38:08,887 --> 00:38:11,390
You don't have a warrant.

783
00:38:11,490 --> 00:38:13,492
And this is mine.

784
00:38:13,592 --> 00:38:16,828
See, I told you

785
00:38:16,928 --> 00:38:20,732
I do have a tote
just like that one.

786
00:38:20,832 --> 00:38:23,435
Oh, dear, did I take
the wrong one?

787
00:38:23,502 --> 00:38:25,871
You may have washed it off,

788
00:38:26,004 --> 00:38:28,374
but there, clear as day,

789
00:38:28,507 --> 00:38:33,011
are the imprints
from the shoehorn handle.

790
00:38:34,446 --> 00:38:37,115
They really do monogram
everything at this hotel.

791
00:38:37,182 --> 00:38:38,750
It's like stepping back in time.

792
00:38:38,850 --> 00:38:42,788
It looks like the gig
is finally up.

793
00:38:43,689 --> 00:38:45,757
You have
the right to remain silent.

794
00:38:45,857 --> 00:38:48,360
That's all right.
I know the words.

795
00:38:48,460 --> 00:38:50,562
See, I knew you were lying
when you said

796
00:38:50,696 --> 00:38:51,963
you wanted to leave New York.

797
00:38:52,030 --> 00:38:54,299
How could anybody want to leave?

798
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,468
Feet first.

799
00:39:00,171 --> 00:39:03,409
I wonder what's gonna happen
to this place.

800
00:39:08,980 --> 00:39:12,217
I don't understand. The sign
said the place is closed.

801
00:39:12,317 --> 00:39:14,085
Yeah, for a private event.

802
00:39:14,219 --> 00:39:16,054
That's us.

803
00:39:21,192 --> 00:39:22,494
Shall I bring the first course?

804
00:39:22,594 --> 00:39:23,829
Not yet.

805
00:39:23,895 --> 00:39:26,532
I'm gonna do something
before I lose my nerve.

806
00:39:26,598 --> 00:39:28,434
What are you...?

807
00:39:28,534 --> 00:39:31,937
Oh, my God.

808
00:40:03,769 --> 00:40:06,037
It's true.

809
00:40:06,137 --> 00:40:08,106
He could be on Broadway.

810
00:40:08,206 --> 00:40:09,775
Right?

811
00:40:27,425 --> 00:40:30,629
I still have the cork
sitting on my dresser.

812
00:40:30,762 --> 00:40:33,264
Teddy's getting married.

813
00:40:33,331 --> 00:40:34,500
Yeah.

814
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:35,767
It happened so fast.

815
00:40:35,867 --> 00:40:38,303
Hey. You okay?

816
00:40:38,436 --> 00:40:39,538
Yeah, I'm okay.

817
00:40:39,638 --> 00:40:41,840
- Oh.
- It's just the end of one season

818
00:40:41,940 --> 00:40:43,174
and the beginning of another.

819
00:40:44,610 --> 00:40:45,844
I know things will change,

820
00:40:45,977 --> 00:40:47,513
and maybe they'll move
to the suburbs,

821
00:40:47,646 --> 00:40:49,581
but no matter what...

822
00:40:49,648 --> 00:40:52,751
I'm not gonna miss
out on being a grandmother

823
00:40:52,818 --> 00:40:54,686
because my clothes are so soft

824
00:40:54,820 --> 00:40:56,988
- and they're gonna love my hugs.
- Hey.

825
00:40:57,122 --> 00:40:59,658
Slow down.

826
00:40:59,758 --> 00:41:02,093
You have nothing to worry about.

827
00:41:02,193 --> 00:41:03,428
Teddy's a mama's boy.

828
00:41:03,495 --> 00:41:06,898
And you are never gonna change.

829
00:41:06,998 --> 00:41:08,667
That's why people love you.

830
00:41:12,037 --> 00:41:14,606
It's gonna be hard
to leave this place.

831
00:41:14,706 --> 00:41:16,407
For me, too.

832
00:41:16,508 --> 00:41:19,645
I was just getting used
to Deandra.

833
00:41:19,711 --> 00:41:22,147
They like me so much,
I'm being promoted

834
00:41:22,213 --> 00:41:24,315
to work for the
Havenford Group office.

835
00:41:24,382 --> 00:41:27,018
Captain Kershaw thinks
it's a smart move.

836
00:41:27,152 --> 00:41:30,155
I kind of like it when you
pop up in surprising places.

837
00:41:30,221 --> 00:41:31,252
Hmm.

838
00:41:31,276 --> 00:41:34,392
Hey. Did you ever figure out
who was trying to buy the hotel?

839
00:41:35,226 --> 00:41:37,228
Hmm.

840
00:42:33,585 --> 00:42:35,520
Hey, did you see that?

841
00:42:35,587 --> 00:42:38,189
Oh, I love that show.
Wasn't it wonderful?

842
00:42:38,289 --> 00:42:40,158
It was so great. I cried.

843
00:42:40,258 --> 00:42:42,293
Yeah, me, too.

844
00:42:42,393 --> 00:42:45,196
Isn't it great to love things?
