1
00:00:07,441 --> 00:00:08,877
Welcome back, Your Grace.

2
00:00:08,977 --> 00:00:10,645
I take it you had a good flight?

3
00:00:10,745 --> 00:00:13,347
-I'm knackered.
-Mm.

4
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,518
-Has she started?
-Uh, she has.

5
00:00:16,618 --> 00:00:19,052
My new associate Deandra
will have your bags

6
00:00:19,152 --> 00:00:20,955
brought to your suite
while you're in the café.

7
00:00:21,021 --> 00:00:24,726
Ah. Of course.
We'll take care of it.

8
00:00:38,171 --> 00:00:41,676
Yes, taking a chance on love,
which is what you did

9
00:00:41,776 --> 00:00:44,478
when you made your reservation
six months ago.

10
00:00:44,546 --> 00:00:46,446
But it already seems worth it,
doesn't it?

11
00:00:46,548 --> 00:00:49,182
Seeing me up close,
in the flesh,

12
00:00:49,283 --> 00:00:51,553
an award-winning
cabaret artiste.

13
00:00:51,653 --> 00:00:53,922
-One award.
-Excuse me, Jolly?

14
00:00:54,054 --> 00:00:55,255
You've won one award.

15
00:00:55,389 --> 00:00:56,591
Most people hear
"award-winning,"

16
00:00:56,724 --> 00:00:57,926
they think "several."

17
00:00:58,026 --> 00:01:00,895
Thanks for the clarification.
Bitch.

18
00:01:02,362 --> 00:01:03,531
It's true.

19
00:01:03,631 --> 00:01:05,299
I've won only one statue,

20
00:01:05,399 --> 00:01:07,835
and I happen to have it with me.
Do you want to see it?

21
00:01:07,936 --> 00:01:09,938
Yes.

22
00:01:10,070 --> 00:01:12,740
No, it's not the Emmy

23
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:14,776
for my guest spot
on <i>Father Crime,</i>

24
00:01:14,909 --> 00:01:15,910
which airs tonight.

25
00:01:16,010 --> 00:01:18,345
This is my 1987

26
00:01:18,445 --> 00:01:21,448
Mabel Short Cabaret
Performer of the Year Award.

27
00:01:22,617 --> 00:01:24,251
Thank you.
Thank you.

28
00:01:24,351 --> 00:01:27,254
So, you are seeing
a legitimate

29
00:01:27,354 --> 00:01:29,089
cabaret performer, maybe

30
00:01:29,222 --> 00:01:30,825
the last one in existence.

31
00:01:30,925 --> 00:01:33,360
You know, the minute
they drag me out of here,

32
00:01:33,460 --> 00:01:36,631
some reality star will start
squawking Sondheim.

33
00:01:36,764 --> 00:01:40,068
So, let's make the most
of this night, shall we?

34
00:01:42,436 --> 00:01:43,771
Isn't she fantastic?

35
00:01:43,871 --> 00:01:46,106
Damn it!

36
00:01:46,206 --> 00:01:48,442
What is it?
What is it?

37
00:01:48,576 --> 00:01:49,711
No!

38
00:01:49,811 --> 00:01:51,378
Don't tell me.

39
00:01:52,714 --> 00:01:54,849
I love it
when she gets like this.

40
00:01:55,617 --> 00:01:57,852
Oh. And the tempo
on "Sunny Side of the Street"

41
00:01:57,952 --> 00:01:59,319
was too bright.

42
00:01:59,419 --> 00:02:01,121
What part of "sunny side"
don't you understand?

43
00:02:01,221 --> 00:02:02,456
Don't get fresh.

44
00:02:02,557 --> 00:02:04,092
And don't correct me
in the middle of a show.

45
00:02:04,191 --> 00:02:06,326
You asked.

46
00:02:06,460 --> 00:02:09,329
Especially when I ask.

47
00:02:09,463 --> 00:02:11,131
It's no wonder I went up
with all the latecomers

48
00:02:11,264 --> 00:02:13,101
and schmoozers in here.

49
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,168
Nobody knows
the pressure I'm under.

50
00:02:15,268 --> 00:02:16,771
And I'm on the tube tonight.

51
00:02:16,838 --> 00:02:19,306
We heard.
You told everybody.

52
00:02:19,439 --> 00:02:20,642
I'm gonna watch upstairs.

53
00:02:20,742 --> 00:02:22,242
I'll be back down
for the second show.

54
00:02:22,342 --> 00:02:24,512
Have them send my dinner up
through room service.

55
00:02:25,278 --> 00:02:26,648
They charge for that, you know.

56
00:02:26,748 --> 00:02:28,382
What are you implying?

57
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,023
Oh, right there's fine.

58
00:02:36,490 --> 00:02:38,993
I'm on <i>Father Crime</i> tonight.
Do you watch that show?

59
00:02:39,127 --> 00:02:41,829
-Not since they
killed off Felicity.
-Oh.

60
00:02:43,397 --> 00:02:44,498
Wow.

61
00:02:44,599 --> 00:02:46,534
You guys have
raised prices again.

62
00:02:47,535 --> 00:02:48,503
Put it on my tab.

63
00:02:48,636 --> 00:02:50,237
Oh, wait.
Here.

64
00:02:50,337 --> 00:02:53,273
Oh.
I don't have any cash.

65
00:02:53,373 --> 00:02:54,742
I'll get you next time.

66
00:03:04,819 --> 00:03:07,220
Want some company, guv'nor?

67
00:03:10,124 --> 00:03:13,761
I know why you're here,
and it's not going to work.

68
00:03:14,962 --> 00:03:17,497
I can be very persuasive,
you know.

69
00:03:17,565 --> 00:03:21,135
I have to protect
my Manhattan investments.

70
00:03:21,234 --> 00:03:22,402
The royal family

71
00:03:22,503 --> 00:03:25,006
is under tremendous scrutiny.

72
00:03:25,106 --> 00:03:27,041
We can't get away
with anything.

73
00:03:27,175 --> 00:03:28,176
Exactly.

74
00:03:28,241 --> 00:03:29,677
The deal smells,

75
00:03:29,744 --> 00:03:31,179
and if you agree to it,

76
00:03:31,244 --> 00:03:33,181
you'll be in big trouble
when everything goes south.

77
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,650
I've made up my mind.

78
00:03:35,750 --> 00:03:38,218
This place is due for a change.

79
00:03:38,318 --> 00:03:39,687
Why does anything
have to change?

80
00:03:39,787 --> 00:03:41,055
Just give it a little more time.

81
00:03:41,155 --> 00:03:42,389
-I'll see you out.
-No, no,

82
00:03:42,489 --> 00:03:44,257
-no, no, no, no, no, no.
-Come on.

83
00:03:44,357 --> 00:03:45,727
Stop, now.
Stop!

84
00:03:45,827 --> 00:03:48,763
Good God, woman.

85
00:03:48,896 --> 00:03:50,798
Are you mad?

86
00:03:50,898 --> 00:03:53,101
Something like that.

87
00:04:26,801 --> 00:04:27,935
Yes,

88
00:04:28,035 --> 00:04:29,637
it's true.
I've won only one statue,

89
00:04:29,737 --> 00:04:31,404
and I happen to have it with me.

90
00:04:31,471 --> 00:04:33,708
- Do you want to see it?
- Yes!

91
00:04:33,808 --> 00:04:35,543
Let's see it!

92
00:04:35,643 --> 00:04:37,310
Whip it out!

93
00:04:37,410 --> 00:04:40,447
You know what?
I don't do this for the awards.

94
00:04:40,548 --> 00:04:42,183
I do it for the money.

95
00:04:42,282 --> 00:04:43,885
So I'll just keep singing.

96
00:04:59,901 --> 00:05:01,903
Oh.

97
00:05:01,969 --> 00:05:05,006
Hello. I'm looking
for the, um... Oh.

98
00:05:05,106 --> 00:05:07,474
Wow, this place is so elegant.

99
00:05:07,608 --> 00:05:10,645
Uh, sorry,
I'm here for the, um...

100
00:05:10,745 --> 00:05:12,814
-Possible crime scene?
-Oh. Yes.

101
00:05:12,947 --> 00:05:15,382
- That's all right. I got this.
- Captain Wagner.

102
00:05:15,482 --> 00:05:17,084
I was expecting
to see a detective.

103
00:05:17,151 --> 00:05:20,154
Uh, since I got passed over
for commissioner,

104
00:05:20,254 --> 00:05:21,923
I figured I'd get out
of the office a bit.

105
00:05:22,023 --> 00:05:24,457
Oh, it's a beautiful place
for an investigation.

106
00:05:24,525 --> 00:05:27,394
-Thanks.
-The Reilly is
a New York institution.

107
00:05:27,494 --> 00:05:29,530
This place still looks the same
as the night

108
00:05:29,630 --> 00:05:32,499
I proposed to Claudia,
right there in the café.

109
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,302
No wonder you're
in such a good mood.

110
00:05:34,367 --> 00:05:36,103
Hey, you should be, too,
given the news.

111
00:05:36,170 --> 00:05:37,538
What news?

112
00:05:37,638 --> 00:05:40,007
"Mayor Bloom, seen last night

113
00:05:40,107 --> 00:05:42,475
having dinner with
a mysterious brunette."

114
00:05:42,577 --> 00:05:45,880
That's not a phony story
planted by Nadine.

115
00:05:46,647 --> 00:05:50,751
The "mysterious redhead"
is officially yesterday's news.

116
00:05:50,852 --> 00:05:53,588
You must be relieved.

117
00:05:53,688 --> 00:05:56,991
Yeah. Absolutely.

118
00:05:57,058 --> 00:05:58,259
Yay.

119
00:05:59,026 --> 00:06:01,729
Housekeeping found him
this morning.

120
00:06:01,863 --> 00:06:04,699
It looks like he slipped
getting out of the shower.

121
00:06:04,832 --> 00:06:08,135
Apparently, he grabbed the towel
bar, but it came off the wall,

122
00:06:08,202 --> 00:06:10,905
leaving him to smash his head
on the tile.

123
00:06:11,005 --> 00:06:13,274
Oh, please, sir,
don't touch anything.

124
00:06:13,373 --> 00:06:16,744
Oh, right. Sorry.
Force of habit.

125
00:06:16,844 --> 00:06:18,312
Uh, what were you about to do?

126
00:06:18,411 --> 00:06:21,215
Oh, we like the seams on
our lampshades to face the wall.

127
00:06:21,349 --> 00:06:23,383
Excuse me, sir.

128
00:06:23,483 --> 00:06:24,852
Uh, e-excuse me.

129
00:06:24,919 --> 00:06:26,120
Oh.

130
00:06:28,022 --> 00:06:29,757
Whoa.

131
00:06:29,891 --> 00:06:32,526
Everything is just so,

132
00:06:32,593 --> 00:06:35,495
with the hotel monogram
on everything.

133
00:06:35,563 --> 00:06:38,165
Such a lovely old-world touch.

134
00:06:38,266 --> 00:06:40,067
It's like stepping back in time.

135
00:06:40,167 --> 00:06:42,503
Yeah, wow.
It's like he lived here.

136
00:06:42,603 --> 00:06:44,071
Oh, he did.

137
00:06:44,205 --> 00:06:46,674
Part of the time he kept
this place as a pied-à-terre.

138
00:06:46,774 --> 00:06:48,743
Oh, that's right.
I forget that some people

139
00:06:48,876 --> 00:06:51,045
-actually live in hotels.
-Mm-hmm.

140
00:06:51,145 --> 00:06:54,749
Huh. These pajamas are folded,

141
00:06:54,882 --> 00:06:56,751
and these are on a hanger.

142
00:06:56,884 --> 00:07:00,087
-Well, maybe he was planning
on wearing those.
-Ooh.

143
00:07:00,187 --> 00:07:01,555
Is that blood?

144
00:07:01,622 --> 00:07:06,127
Maybe from a scuffle
that knocked over the lamp?

145
00:07:06,227 --> 00:07:08,095
Or it could be from shaving.

146
00:07:09,096 --> 00:07:13,501
Oh. This shoehorn is kind of
bent out of shape.

147
00:07:13,601 --> 00:07:16,170
Nobody has that much trouble
putting on their loafers.

148
00:07:16,270 --> 00:07:19,941
-Yeah, not usually.
-Hmm.

149
00:07:21,409 --> 00:07:22,376
It's just in here.

150
00:07:22,442 --> 00:07:23,644
What was that about?

151
00:07:23,778 --> 00:07:26,446
Oh, Roger came to draw
the Duke's bath.

152
00:07:26,547 --> 00:07:31,152
They had an arrangement for him
to do so whenever he was here.

153
00:07:31,285 --> 00:07:33,087
He took morning baths?

154
00:07:33,154 --> 00:07:36,290
Then why was he taking
a nighttime shower?

155
00:07:37,058 --> 00:07:39,060
We'll need to get
as much information as we can

156
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:40,061
from your staff.

157
00:07:40,127 --> 00:07:41,929
You said that the towel bar

158
00:07:41,996 --> 00:07:44,665
just came off the wall?

159
00:07:44,799 --> 00:07:46,667
Has anything like that
ever happened

160
00:07:46,767 --> 00:07:49,937
-at the Hotel Reilly before?
-Well, not recently.

161
00:07:50,037 --> 00:07:52,039
We've had some incidents
of wear and tear,

162
00:07:52,139 --> 00:07:55,509
but that's why
we've begun renovations,

163
00:07:55,609 --> 00:07:57,979
including this very suite.

164
00:07:58,112 --> 00:07:59,981
This bathroom was remodeled
six months ago.

165
00:08:00,081 --> 00:08:03,951
So it's very possible
that somebody

166
00:08:04,018 --> 00:08:06,454
broke it off on purpose

167
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,757
and made it look
like an accident.

168
00:08:09,857 --> 00:08:11,726
But how?

169
00:08:15,162 --> 00:08:17,231
I've never seen
anything like this,

170
00:08:17,331 --> 00:08:19,100
and I've worked at the Reilly
for 29 years.

171
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,268
Oh, you must have
so many stories.

172
00:08:21,369 --> 00:08:22,670
Oh, we all do.

173
00:08:22,770 --> 00:08:24,538
Uh, but we're discreet,

174
00:08:24,672 --> 00:08:27,308
which is exactly what I told
Julia Roberts and Ted Kennedy.

175
00:08:27,375 --> 00:08:29,677
-We appreciate it.
-Well, let me know
whatever you need,

176
00:08:29,810 --> 00:08:32,146
and, um, uh,
if you can't reach me,

177
00:08:32,246 --> 00:08:35,016
you can speak
to my associate Deandra.

178
00:08:36,283 --> 00:08:38,452
Hello.

179
00:08:38,552 --> 00:08:40,688
De-- Uh, what did you say
your name was again?

180
00:08:40,788 --> 00:08:44,125
Um, because you remind me
of a woman I once met

181
00:08:44,225 --> 00:08:46,160
named Denise Jackson.

182
00:08:46,260 --> 00:08:48,562
Well, I'm Deandra Jordan.

183
00:08:48,696 --> 00:08:51,699
Any questions you have,
come to me.

184
00:08:51,799 --> 00:08:53,567
In the meantime,

185
00:08:53,667 --> 00:08:56,570
if you'd like
some complimentary coffee, tea,

186
00:08:56,704 --> 00:09:00,041
or juice, please help yourself.

187
00:09:00,174 --> 00:09:02,543
Thank you.

188
00:09:03,411 --> 00:09:04,779
Who's that?

189
00:09:06,047 --> 00:09:07,882
It's Ruby Lane.

190
00:09:08,015 --> 00:09:10,451
She performs in the café,
lives upstairs.

191
00:09:10,551 --> 00:09:13,921
Wait, <i>the</i> Ruby Lane?
She's still around?

192
00:09:14,055 --> 00:09:15,856
You're out of stevia.

193
00:09:15,923 --> 00:09:18,559
That should not happen
at a decent hotel.

194
00:09:18,692 --> 00:09:22,463
I apologize.
It's been a difficult morning.

195
00:09:22,563 --> 00:09:25,433
Yes, uh, one of the residents,
Duke Sebastian,

196
00:09:25,566 --> 00:09:28,402
slipped in the shower and died.

197
00:09:28,503 --> 00:09:30,271
My God. How tragic.

198
00:09:32,473 --> 00:09:33,941
No surprise.

199
00:09:34,041 --> 00:09:36,577
I'll go let the kitchen know
about the stevia shortage.

200
00:09:36,677 --> 00:09:39,680
This whole place
is falling apart.

201
00:09:39,747 --> 00:09:42,316
Something like this
was bound to happen again.

202
00:09:42,416 --> 00:09:44,919
I just said he slipped
in the shower,

203
00:09:44,985 --> 00:09:47,888
not that there was
any physical damage.

204
00:09:47,955 --> 00:09:50,591
Mm. I assumed.

205
00:09:52,660 --> 00:09:54,228
It's all breaking down.

206
00:09:54,328 --> 00:09:56,430
My room-- you have
to jiggle the handle.

207
00:09:56,531 --> 00:09:59,300
You two should come
and see my show.

208
00:09:59,433 --> 00:10:01,769
If you can afford the cover
charge and the two-drink minimum

209
00:10:01,902 --> 00:10:03,270
on a cop's salary.

210
00:10:03,404 --> 00:10:04,805
I'm a captain.

211
00:10:04,939 --> 00:10:06,107
Yeah, but I'll save up.

212
00:10:07,808 --> 00:10:10,444
Oh, hey. I have that very tote.

213
00:10:10,545 --> 00:10:12,379
Well, somewhere
in my collection.

214
00:10:21,388 --> 00:10:22,690
Bye.

215
00:10:24,291 --> 00:10:27,795
Oh, you asked for more
information from housekeeping.

216
00:10:27,895 --> 00:10:30,599
It seems some of the more
expensive items were missing

217
00:10:30,698 --> 00:10:31,832
from the Duke's minibar,

218
00:10:31,966 --> 00:10:33,968
including
the yogurt-covered raisins.

219
00:10:34,068 --> 00:10:35,302
Ooh, I love those.

220
00:10:35,436 --> 00:10:38,239
But there was no sign of them
in the trash.

221
00:10:38,305 --> 00:10:39,940
Well, who would murder someone
and walk off

222
00:10:40,007 --> 00:10:42,643
with the goodies
from the minibar?

223
00:10:42,743 --> 00:10:44,178
Hmm.

224
00:11:00,027 --> 00:11:01,829
Oh, my God,
it's like you're in every story.

225
00:11:01,929 --> 00:11:04,098
Teddy. What are you doing here?

226
00:11:04,165 --> 00:11:07,101
Well, um, I have some news.

227
00:11:07,168 --> 00:11:08,637
Maybe. I think so.

228
00:11:08,702 --> 00:11:10,037
But if you're reading
about Alec's new girlfriend,

229
00:11:10,137 --> 00:11:12,039
-it can wait.
-Oh, uh...

230
00:11:12,173 --> 00:11:15,309
Whoever she is,
she has my sympathy.

231
00:11:15,376 --> 00:11:17,044
-You sure?
-Positive.

232
00:11:17,144 --> 00:11:21,516
So, um, what is your news,
maybe, you think so?

233
00:11:21,616 --> 00:11:26,153
Well, um, Roy and I
may be getting married.

234
00:11:26,220 --> 00:11:27,188
What?

235
00:11:27,288 --> 00:11:28,355
-Teddy.
-Yeah.

236
00:11:28,455 --> 00:11:30,291
- Oh, I'm so happy.
- Ah!

237
00:11:30,357 --> 00:11:32,927
- Well, I said maybe. Um...
- Okay.

238
00:11:33,027 --> 00:11:34,929
But we did have a conversation

239
00:11:35,029 --> 00:11:36,030
that felt like it,

240
00:11:36,163 --> 00:11:37,532
though we changed subjects

241
00:11:37,632 --> 00:11:39,733
-because I started
hyperventilating.
-Oh.

242
00:11:39,867 --> 00:11:41,368
Well, I am thrilled,

243
00:11:41,503 --> 00:11:44,205
to the extent
that it's more than maybe.

244
00:11:44,305 --> 00:11:47,007
Yeah, but the thing is,
I'm pretty sure Roy wants me

245
00:11:47,074 --> 00:11:49,544
to propose because
I'm basically allergic

246
00:11:49,644 --> 00:11:51,680
-to overt romantic gestures.
-That is true,

247
00:11:51,745 --> 00:11:53,948
but have no fear,
I have so many ideas.

248
00:11:54,048 --> 00:11:56,317
-Uh...
-Okay. Did you know

249
00:11:56,417 --> 00:11:58,786
that you can order skywriting
over Times Square?

250
00:11:58,919 --> 00:12:02,756
Yeah, no. Um, I was thinking
something lower-key. Like, um,

251
00:12:02,890 --> 00:12:05,392
during the finale of a show
that we're watching on Thursday,

252
00:12:05,492 --> 00:12:08,195
sharing a frozen Hawaiian pizza
with a thrift store ring

253
00:12:08,262 --> 00:12:10,264
hidden under a piece
of Canadian bacon.

254
00:12:11,365 --> 00:12:14,703
Sometimes I forget that,
in some ways,

255
00:12:14,802 --> 00:12:16,237
you do take after your father,

256
00:12:16,337 --> 00:12:20,074
who proposed to me
in a footnote in a legal brief.

257
00:12:20,174 --> 00:12:21,842
Okay, um...

258
00:12:21,942 --> 00:12:24,512
Well, what-what if I cooked for
him, just the way you taught me?

259
00:12:24,579 --> 00:12:26,280
Yeah... what else you got?

260
00:12:26,413 --> 00:12:28,949
You know what? It's gonna be
fine, even without your help.

261
00:12:29,083 --> 00:12:31,720
So I will, uh,
let you know how it goes.

262
00:12:31,819 --> 00:12:33,787
-Oh.
-Oh, God.

263
00:12:33,887 --> 00:12:36,023
We're really
gonna do this, maybe.

264
00:12:46,668 --> 00:12:49,770
And this is our business center.

265
00:12:49,870 --> 00:12:51,272
We can talk in here.

266
00:12:51,372 --> 00:12:53,874
-Why in the business center?
-Oh, nobody ever uses it.

267
00:12:53,941 --> 00:12:56,477
- Oh.
- So, start from the beginning.

268
00:12:56,578 --> 00:12:59,880
Right. This hotel has been
engaged in shady bookkeeping

269
00:12:59,980 --> 00:13:03,317
and tax fraud since it was built
during Prohibition.

270
00:13:03,417 --> 00:13:04,619
Wow, that is the beginning.

271
00:13:04,753 --> 00:13:06,621
And with Alec Bloom
as the new mayor

272
00:13:06,721 --> 00:13:08,989
promising greater scrutiny,

273
00:13:09,123 --> 00:13:13,394
the current owner
Havenford Realty Group--

274
00:13:13,494 --> 00:13:14,629
they want out.

275
00:13:14,729 --> 00:13:17,164
But any sale depends on approval

276
00:13:17,264 --> 00:13:18,966
from the long-term residents.

277
00:13:19,066 --> 00:13:22,436
The Duke came back to New York
to cast his vote,

278
00:13:22,504 --> 00:13:26,140
but after what happened,
the vote has been postponed.

279
00:13:26,273 --> 00:13:27,776
Any idea who the buyer is?

280
00:13:27,841 --> 00:13:29,376
Havenford isn't saying.

281
00:13:29,476 --> 00:13:32,681
It's part of my mission
to find out, but my guess is,

282
00:13:32,781 --> 00:13:35,650
it's one of the mysterious
guests staying here this week.

283
00:13:35,750 --> 00:13:39,086
<i>I've spotted a mob boss,</i>
<i>a Saudi sheik,</i>

284
00:13:39,186 --> 00:13:41,855
<i>and a Russian oligarch,</i>
<i>but I can't be sure.</i>

285
00:13:41,955 --> 00:13:43,223
And you think the Duke
could have been murdered

286
00:13:43,324 --> 00:13:44,858
-because of his vote?
-I don't know,

287
00:13:44,958 --> 00:13:47,562
but the timing is suspicious.

288
00:13:47,662 --> 00:13:49,963
Ruby Lane would have a vote.
She lives here.

289
00:13:50,064 --> 00:13:52,299
Could she be involved
in those financial schemes?

290
00:13:52,399 --> 00:13:55,035
You mean the lady
who steals two gallons

291
00:13:55,169 --> 00:13:56,538
of lobby coffee every morning

292
00:13:56,638 --> 00:13:58,540
and who can't remember
her lyrics?

293
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,140
-I doubt it.
-All right.

294
00:14:00,207 --> 00:14:02,476
I think I'll have some lunch
in the hotel lobby bar

295
00:14:02,544 --> 00:14:04,011
and interview the guests.

296
00:14:04,144 --> 00:14:05,279
Are you sure
you're not just trying

297
00:14:05,346 --> 00:14:07,114
to soak up the atmosphere?

298
00:14:07,181 --> 00:14:09,850
I can do both.

299
00:14:09,950 --> 00:14:12,086
Uh, hey, do you happen
to know what floor

300
00:14:12,219 --> 00:14:13,788
Ruby Lane lives on?

301
00:14:21,028 --> 00:14:22,797
-You have a good eye.
-Oh.

302
00:14:22,896 --> 00:14:24,865
I don't know about that.

303
00:14:24,965 --> 00:14:26,735
I just like beautiful things.

304
00:14:26,867 --> 00:14:28,035
And dogs.

305
00:14:28,168 --> 00:14:29,870
The exquisite Reilly murals

306
00:14:29,970 --> 00:14:32,507
once belonged to the Blick
family of the Blick Museum.

307
00:14:32,574 --> 00:14:34,743
I happen to be very close
to several Blicks.

308
00:14:34,875 --> 00:14:36,644
Montgomery Blakemont III,

309
00:14:36,745 --> 00:14:39,012
art connoisseur and
philanthropist. Call me Monty.

310
00:14:39,079 --> 00:14:41,482
Hi, Monty.
Elsbeth Tascioni.

311
00:14:41,549 --> 00:14:44,017
Consent decree lawyer
with the NYPD.

312
00:14:44,084 --> 00:14:46,186
I'm talking art appreciation
with the fuzz.

313
00:14:46,286 --> 00:14:47,522
How fantastic is that?

314
00:14:47,622 --> 00:14:49,089
Pretty fantastic.

315
00:14:49,223 --> 00:14:50,324
This hotel is filled
with great art,

316
00:14:50,391 --> 00:14:51,693
but not all of it
in public spaces.

317
00:14:51,793 --> 00:14:52,993
There are treasures to be found

318
00:14:53,060 --> 00:14:54,395
-in certain suites.
-Wow.

319
00:14:54,495 --> 00:14:56,930
-You seem to know so much.
-I do.

320
00:14:57,030 --> 00:14:58,399
-I keep a place here.
-Oh.

321
00:14:58,499 --> 00:15:00,100
Were you here
when the Duke died?

322
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,871
Oh, yes. I was in the café.

323
00:15:02,936 --> 00:15:04,304
-Oh.
-Uh, in the first show,

324
00:15:04,405 --> 00:15:06,273
Ruby forgot her lyrics,
it was epic.

325
00:15:06,407 --> 00:15:09,209
And then, at
the late show, she was on fire.

326
00:15:09,276 --> 00:15:11,646
You went to the café
twice in one night?

327
00:15:11,746 --> 00:15:14,181
-Mm.
-That's a four-drink minimum.

328
00:15:14,281 --> 00:15:15,949
Isn't that expensive?

329
00:15:17,384 --> 00:15:20,454
Excuse me. Ah.
It's the Metropolitan Museum.

330
00:15:20,588 --> 00:15:22,524
I'm gifting them $20 million,
and we're arguing

331
00:15:22,624 --> 00:15:24,124
over the size
of my name on the plaque.

332
00:15:24,258 --> 00:15:25,860
-Can you imagine?
-No.

333
00:15:25,959 --> 00:15:29,062
This is Monty. Are you ready
to talk some sense?

334
00:15:29,764 --> 00:15:31,465
Okay, great.

335
00:15:31,566 --> 00:15:33,635
Thank you.

336
00:15:34,669 --> 00:15:36,805
Oh, hello again.

337
00:15:36,937 --> 00:15:38,606
-Aren't you getting in?
-Oh, no.

338
00:15:38,706 --> 00:15:40,407
Uh, actually,
I-I changed my mind.

339
00:15:40,474 --> 00:15:43,812
Oh. Well, suit yourself.
Excuse me, I have to rehearse.

340
00:15:43,944 --> 00:15:46,413
You still need to rehearse
after all these years?

341
00:15:46,514 --> 00:15:48,917
Well, I don't need to,
but I dropped something

342
00:15:48,982 --> 00:15:50,718
the other night,
and Jolly, my accompanist,

343
00:15:50,785 --> 00:15:52,152
got his knickers in a twist.

344
00:15:52,252 --> 00:15:55,322
Oh.
Um, is there any chance

345
00:15:55,456 --> 00:15:58,258
-that I could sit in and watch?
-No.

346
00:15:58,325 --> 00:16:01,796
Oh, please?
I-I-It would be so fascinating

347
00:16:01,930 --> 00:16:04,331
to watch a legend at work.

348
00:16:04,431 --> 00:16:05,633
Do you go to nightclubs a lot?

349
00:16:05,733 --> 00:16:07,067
Uh, no, that's just the thing.

350
00:16:07,134 --> 00:16:09,904
I know so little about cabaret
as an art form.

351
00:16:10,003 --> 00:16:12,272
Um, is it anything like <i>Glee?</i>

352
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:14,843
Are you for real?

353
00:16:14,975 --> 00:16:18,813
You mean am I... serious?
Absolutely.

354
00:16:18,913 --> 00:16:22,082
Although... I am really here
with the police,

355
00:16:22,182 --> 00:16:24,752
helping them
with their murder investigation.

356
00:16:37,498 --> 00:16:40,234
Yes, taking a chance on love,
which is what you did

357
00:16:40,334 --> 00:16:42,804
when you made your reservation
six months ago.

358
00:16:42,871 --> 00:16:44,706
Blah, blah, blah.
We do that whole bit.

359
00:16:44,839 --> 00:16:46,340
Oh, so we're not
just winging it?

360
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,176
I forgot. I said I was sorry.

361
00:16:50,344 --> 00:16:52,580
Hey, Little Orphan Annie,
what do you think so far?

362
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:53,948
You're incredible.

363
00:16:54,014 --> 00:16:58,485
You make every word
so... specific.

364
00:16:58,553 --> 00:17:02,022
It's like, uh, it's like
you're singing just to me.

365
00:17:02,155 --> 00:17:03,791
Well, I mean, uh,
you are right now,

366
00:17:03,858 --> 00:17:08,061
but it's like...
you're speaking to my soul.

367
00:17:08,195 --> 00:17:09,964
She gets it.

368
00:17:10,063 --> 00:17:13,902
Cabaret is the most intimate
form of communication.

369
00:17:14,034 --> 00:17:17,005
Up here,
there's nowhere to hide.

370
00:17:17,070 --> 00:17:19,908
The lights, the proximity
expose everything.

371
00:17:20,008 --> 00:17:22,744
Believe me, what I do...

372
00:17:22,877 --> 00:17:25,145
is not about a beautiful voice.

373
00:17:25,212 --> 00:17:26,915
Oh, we believe you.

374
00:17:28,048 --> 00:17:32,185
- Ignore him. The way I do
when he falls down in a gutter.

375
00:17:32,286 --> 00:17:33,955
You two are so funny.

376
00:17:34,054 --> 00:17:35,890
How long have you two
been working together?

377
00:17:36,024 --> 00:17:39,894
Let's see, next month
it will have been an eternity.

378
00:17:39,994 --> 00:17:42,062
- But it's worth it
to show up every night

379
00:17:42,195 --> 00:17:43,865
and dream of getting paid.

380
00:17:43,932 --> 00:17:45,499
Including two shows last night.

381
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:47,735
-As usual.
-What do you do between shows?

382
00:17:47,835 --> 00:17:50,572
-I have dinner in here.
-Except the night before last.

383
00:17:50,672 --> 00:17:52,874
You mean the night
the Duke died?

384
00:17:52,974 --> 00:17:57,779
Oh, right. That night I wanted
to watch myself on the tube.

385
00:17:57,879 --> 00:18:01,448
I recently shot a guest spot
on <i>Father Crime.</i>

386
00:18:01,583 --> 00:18:03,618
Oh, I know that show.

387
00:18:03,718 --> 00:18:05,587
Wow, you must be
a great actress.

388
00:18:05,687 --> 00:18:08,056
<i>Father Crime</i> gets
the best guest stars,

389
00:18:08,155 --> 00:18:10,123
probably because
it shoots in New York.

390
00:18:10,257 --> 00:18:13,695
I was great,
and I had room service.

391
00:18:13,761 --> 00:18:17,865
Speaking of food, you probably
need lunch, don't you?

392
00:18:17,932 --> 00:18:21,069
Cherie, bring this lovely lady
a Waldorf salad,

393
00:18:21,168 --> 00:18:23,203
and bring one for me
while you're at it.

394
00:18:23,270 --> 00:18:26,106
-Thank you, Cherie, but...
-It's the best thing they do.
You'll love it.

395
00:18:26,239 --> 00:18:28,810
And you'll need your strength,
investigating that...

396
00:18:30,044 --> 00:18:32,547
-Did you say it was
a murder investigation?
-Mm-hmm.

397
00:18:32,614 --> 00:18:35,482
Duke Sebastian Mason,
Lord of Sussexford.

398
00:18:35,583 --> 00:18:36,784
Did-did you know him?

399
00:18:39,621 --> 00:18:43,658
No, but I heard he was
at my show the night he died.

400
00:18:44,224 --> 00:18:46,259
-Not a bad way to go.
-I'll say.

401
00:18:46,326 --> 00:18:48,963
Especially if you made
the reservation

402
00:18:49,063 --> 00:18:50,598
six months earlier.

403
00:18:50,665 --> 00:18:53,768
You have a cute personality.
Do you sing?

404
00:18:53,835 --> 00:18:56,004
Me? Oh, gosh, no, no.

405
00:18:56,136 --> 00:18:58,673
But, um, my son Teddy--
he has a beautiful voice.

406
00:18:58,806 --> 00:19:01,509
He could be on Broadway,
but he's too shy.

407
00:19:01,609 --> 00:19:04,812
He recently told me
he may be getting married.

408
00:19:04,912 --> 00:19:06,480
-Really? Congratulations.
-Thanks.

409
00:19:06,614 --> 00:19:09,316
To be honest,
I'm a little nervous about it.

410
00:19:10,250 --> 00:19:12,419
Yeah, I'm afraid
he-he might pull away.

411
00:19:12,486 --> 00:19:16,323
I'm wondering, you know,
how I'll handle that.

412
00:20:35,570 --> 00:20:37,171
Oh, I love that song.

413
00:20:37,270 --> 00:20:41,075
I think that's my favorite song
by Irving Berlin.

414
00:20:42,143 --> 00:20:44,946
I thought you knew nothing
about cabaret.

415
00:20:45,780 --> 00:20:47,215
Oh, I don't.

416
00:20:47,314 --> 00:20:49,382
But I know
the Great American Songbook.

417
00:20:49,483 --> 00:20:51,853
I'm not a monster.

418
00:20:52,587 --> 00:20:56,356
I don't like your act, sister.
It's phony.

419
00:20:56,456 --> 00:20:59,961
Cherie, send my lunch upstairs,

420
00:21:00,061 --> 00:21:02,764
and charge it to her.

421
00:21:02,864 --> 00:21:06,299
You've got a lot of nerve,
Elsbeth.

422
00:21:08,569 --> 00:21:11,471
With all the things in the world
to get worked up about...

423
00:21:11,606 --> 00:21:13,340
Is it the drinking?

424
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,944
I noticed she has a glass
in her hand in all the photos.

425
00:21:17,044 --> 00:21:20,047
That's just a prop to give her
a false air of sophistication.

426
00:21:20,114 --> 00:21:23,184
Hers is always filled
with water, unlike mine.

427
00:21:23,283 --> 00:21:25,853
So, when she forgets
her lyrics...

428
00:21:25,953 --> 00:21:28,890
Ms. Tascioni, come quick.
- Oh.

429
00:21:28,990 --> 00:21:30,290
What is it?

430
00:21:30,390 --> 00:21:32,325
Housekeeping heard someone
inside the Duke's suite.

431
00:21:32,459 --> 00:21:35,196
<i>So you think the killer returned</i>
<i>to the scene of the crime?</i>

432
00:21:35,295 --> 00:21:37,330
Whoever's in there, open up.

433
00:21:37,430 --> 00:21:39,466
This is the police.

434
00:21:46,674 --> 00:21:48,509
Oh, hey, you.

435
00:21:53,147 --> 00:21:55,583
Mr. Blakemont, we have learned
from someone at the hotel

436
00:21:55,650 --> 00:21:59,520
that your name doesn't appear
on any suite here at the hotel.

437
00:21:59,654 --> 00:22:01,789
Was it that new woman Deandra?
She seems on the ball.

438
00:22:01,889 --> 00:22:03,423
Why are you hanging
around the hotel?

439
00:22:03,524 --> 00:22:05,793
All right, if you must know,
I'm staying in a suite

440
00:22:05,893 --> 00:22:07,762
that's owned by a former boss

441
00:22:07,862 --> 00:22:10,198
but only while my townhouse
is being renovated.

442
00:22:10,298 --> 00:22:11,666
And does your former boss know?

443
00:22:11,766 --> 00:22:15,670
Of course he does, technically.
But don't worry,

444
00:22:15,770 --> 00:22:17,772
all of my employers
trust me implicitly.

445
00:22:17,839 --> 00:22:19,707
That's why they give me
power of attorney.

446
00:22:19,841 --> 00:22:21,676
But what were you doing here
in the Duke's suite?

447
00:22:21,776 --> 00:22:23,044
I was looking at the artwork.

448
00:22:23,177 --> 00:22:24,512
In a dead man's room?

449
00:22:24,612 --> 00:22:26,781
As I told Elsbeth,
not all of the art at the Reilly

450
00:22:26,881 --> 00:22:28,883
is publicly displayed.
This room

451
00:22:29,016 --> 00:22:30,417
has an Edward Hopper

452
00:22:30,518 --> 00:22:32,253
plus a tiny Titian.

453
00:22:33,020 --> 00:22:34,555
It's true. He did tell me that.

454
00:22:34,689 --> 00:22:36,356
Well, you're still a suspect.

455
00:22:36,456 --> 00:22:39,359
And since you're such an expert
on the Hotel Reilly,

456
00:22:39,459 --> 00:22:42,697
what do you know about that vote
to approve a sale?

457
00:22:42,797 --> 00:22:45,800
I know everything about it. My
former boss made me his proxy.

458
00:22:45,900 --> 00:22:47,168
Of course he did.

459
00:22:47,235 --> 00:22:48,536
Which way do you think
it would have gone?

460
00:22:48,636 --> 00:22:50,872
Oh, it was split
right down the middle.

461
00:22:51,005 --> 00:22:53,373
The in-favor side insisted
the Duke come for the vote

462
00:22:53,507 --> 00:22:54,407
to put them over the top.

463
00:22:54,542 --> 00:22:55,810
It was very exciting.

464
00:22:55,877 --> 00:22:57,678
-Why? Why did it matter so much?
-Well,

465
00:22:57,745 --> 00:22:59,647
rumor is, the mystery buyer
planned a major,

466
00:22:59,714 --> 00:23:02,049
very tasteful renovation,
but to pay for it,

467
00:23:02,149 --> 00:23:03,551
they were gonna have
to clean up the books,

468
00:23:03,651 --> 00:23:05,052
so that meant that
the long-term residents

469
00:23:05,152 --> 00:23:06,854
would have to settle up
their maintenance,

470
00:23:06,921 --> 00:23:09,456
rents, bar tabs.
Some of these people

471
00:23:09,557 --> 00:23:10,691
have been getting away
with murder

472
00:23:10,791 --> 00:23:12,126
while guzzling the free coffee.

473
00:23:12,226 --> 00:23:14,161
-Mm.
-And what about you?

474
00:23:14,228 --> 00:23:15,663
Eh... how were you gonna vote?

475
00:23:15,730 --> 00:23:17,632
I was in favor, all the way.

476
00:23:17,765 --> 00:23:19,200
I encouraged the others.

477
00:23:19,300 --> 00:23:21,369
Here, let me see my phone,
I'll show you.

478
00:23:23,704 --> 00:23:26,507
I have a thing
about freeloaders.

479
00:23:26,607 --> 00:23:28,276
By the way,
the hotel Wi-Fi is pretty weak,

480
00:23:28,408 --> 00:23:31,444
but I have the code
to the Sephora next door.

481
00:23:32,713 --> 00:23:36,250
Roy. To what
do I owe the pleasure?

482
00:23:36,350 --> 00:23:37,718
I have some news. Well, maybe.

483
00:23:37,785 --> 00:23:41,188
Teddy and I
may be getting married.

484
00:23:41,289 --> 00:23:45,359
Oh, that is so great.
I am so happy.

485
00:23:45,458 --> 00:23:47,762
I mean, maybe.
We had a conversation about it,

486
00:23:47,828 --> 00:23:50,331
but then Teddy
started hyperventilating.

487
00:23:50,463 --> 00:23:51,766
Oh, yeah, he does that.

488
00:23:53,267 --> 00:23:55,468
But before anything happens,

489
00:23:55,569 --> 00:23:58,673
I wanted to come
and ask your permission.

490
00:23:58,806 --> 00:24:02,243
Oh, Roy. Of course.

491
00:24:02,343 --> 00:24:03,945
- Yes.
- Okay.

492
00:24:04,045 --> 00:24:06,013
I didn't know
you were so traditional.

493
00:24:06,147 --> 00:24:09,150
That's why I want
a super romantic proposal scene,

494
00:24:09,250 --> 00:24:10,851
and we both know
Teddy will never.

495
00:24:10,985 --> 00:24:12,320
-Mm.
-What can I say?

496
00:24:12,420 --> 00:24:14,188
I'm old-fashioned,
brought up in the suburbs,

497
00:24:14,288 --> 00:24:16,223
repressed but very performative.

498
00:24:16,324 --> 00:24:18,491
Teddy better get used to it.

499
00:24:18,626 --> 00:24:19,994
Uh, wait.

500
00:24:20,094 --> 00:24:21,529
Does that mean
that you and Teddy

501
00:24:21,662 --> 00:24:24,198
might move to the suburbs
eventually?

502
00:24:24,298 --> 00:24:27,935
Probably. I mean, I love
New York, but I want kids.

503
00:24:28,035 --> 00:24:30,204
Oh.

504
00:24:32,974 --> 00:24:36,978
Okay, I still think
she's too much of a train wreck

505
00:24:37,044 --> 00:24:38,512
to kill anybody,

506
00:24:38,612 --> 00:24:41,215
but I did some digging
into Ruby's account.

507
00:24:41,315 --> 00:24:43,250
It's true, she is in arrears,

508
00:24:43,351 --> 00:24:47,221
but my friend in bookkeeping
hasn't told me how much yet.

509
00:24:47,321 --> 00:24:49,557
Oh, there you are. Deandra.

510
00:24:49,690 --> 00:24:51,859
-I need you.
-Coming.

511
00:24:52,693 --> 00:24:54,729
-Excuse me.
-Uh-huh.

512
00:24:55,730 --> 00:24:58,065
Now can we do a more formal
interview with her?

513
00:24:58,165 --> 00:25:01,135
I suppose. And it might be
interesting to see her suite.

514
00:25:01,202 --> 00:25:03,404
Ah. I bet it's pretty glamorous.

515
00:25:03,504 --> 00:25:05,306
Oh, sorry, it's such a mess.

516
00:25:05,373 --> 00:25:08,209
If I'd known you were coming,
I would have been out.

517
00:25:08,342 --> 00:25:11,212
-How long have you lived here?
-Who knows?

518
00:25:11,312 --> 00:25:14,382
I paid $28,000 for it,
if it gives you an idea.

519
00:25:14,482 --> 00:25:15,649
Wow.

520
00:25:15,716 --> 00:25:17,184
And how do you feel
about the possible sale?

521
00:25:17,251 --> 00:25:20,054
I was mad they postponed.
I was voting yes.

522
00:25:20,154 --> 00:25:21,522
-You were?
-Hell yes.

523
00:25:21,589 --> 00:25:23,891
I'm ready to sell.
I'm tired of New York.

524
00:25:24,025 --> 00:25:26,660
I want to go someplace
where I'm not so damn famous.

525
00:25:26,727 --> 00:25:30,531
Maybe if you didn't walk around
in a mink coat and sunglasses,

526
00:25:30,631 --> 00:25:32,533
people wouldn't recognize you.

527
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:33,567
Just a thought.

528
00:25:33,701 --> 00:25:38,072
I get cold. Here. Snacks.

529
00:25:38,172 --> 00:25:40,841
Ooh, yogurt-covered raisins.

530
00:25:40,941 --> 00:25:45,679
-Funny, these were missing
from the Duke's minibar.
-Yeah?

531
00:25:45,746 --> 00:25:47,681
Well, I take them
from the housekeepers' carts

532
00:25:47,782 --> 00:25:49,083
in the hallway.

533
00:25:49,183 --> 00:25:51,185
This place owes me that much.
I'm a legend.

534
00:25:51,285 --> 00:25:54,055
Yes, you are.

535
00:25:54,121 --> 00:25:55,524
But that's why
I don't understand

536
00:25:55,589 --> 00:25:57,058
why you want to leave here now,
at this point.

537
00:25:57,158 --> 00:25:59,060
Why? Because I'm gonna die soon?

538
00:25:59,126 --> 00:26:02,531
No, because you're
such a fixture here.

539
00:26:04,298 --> 00:26:06,267
This city is too run-down.

540
00:26:06,367 --> 00:26:08,269
It's like...

541
00:26:08,402 --> 00:26:10,271
everything was better
when I was younger, you know?

542
00:26:10,371 --> 00:26:14,775
Or maybe you just get to an age
where you hate everything.

543
00:26:14,909 --> 00:26:16,710
Where are you going to go?

544
00:26:16,777 --> 00:26:20,481
Someplace more elegant--
Vegas, Florida, Phoenix.

545
00:26:20,614 --> 00:26:23,784
And, uh, what about
the money you owe?

546
00:26:23,884 --> 00:26:25,052
What money?

547
00:26:25,152 --> 00:26:26,555
We happen to know
that you're in arrears

548
00:26:26,654 --> 00:26:28,389
-on your maintenance.
-Oh.

549
00:26:28,489 --> 00:26:30,559
Well, selling this place
will take care of all that

550
00:26:30,624 --> 00:26:32,893
and then some.
Now, if you don't have any more

551
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,362
-questions...
-No, no, no. One more thing.

552
00:26:35,463 --> 00:26:37,998
Where were you on the night
of Duke Sebastian's murder?

553
00:26:38,099 --> 00:26:40,067
I already told your friend.

554
00:26:40,134 --> 00:26:41,769
I came up here between shows

555
00:26:41,869 --> 00:26:44,573
to watch myself in a guest role

556
00:26:44,638 --> 00:26:47,174
- on <i>Father Crime.</i>
- Woo-hoo.

557
00:26:47,308 --> 00:26:50,244
I haven't seen this week's
episode yet. What did you play?

558
00:26:50,311 --> 00:26:53,180
I played a nun in a story
about a Mother Superior,

559
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,916
a murderous Mother Superior.

560
00:26:55,983 --> 00:26:57,852
I sang a song
to a bunch of orphans.

561
00:26:57,952 --> 00:26:59,521
-How did it go?
-Not bad.

562
00:26:59,653 --> 00:27:01,989
It really looked like
I was playing the guitar.

563
00:27:02,089 --> 00:27:05,493
So many shows
tell stories about nuns.

564
00:27:05,594 --> 00:27:07,795
Hair and makeup is a breeze.

565
00:27:07,862 --> 00:27:10,698
Ooh, I love index cards.
What are these for?

566
00:27:10,831 --> 00:27:13,167
Those are my contacts. I used
to keep, um, an address book

567
00:27:13,300 --> 00:27:16,203
but kept losing it,
and I use code

568
00:27:16,303 --> 00:27:18,339
so the housekeepers don't call
all my celebrity friends.

569
00:27:18,439 --> 00:27:21,709
Oh, that's smart. I love a code.

570
00:27:21,809 --> 00:27:24,378
Um, "Figaro" for my hairdresser.

571
00:27:24,478 --> 00:27:27,314
"Brontë" for my sister.
"Kid" for Michael Feinstein.

572
00:27:27,381 --> 00:27:29,350
Oh. Who's "Vernon"?

573
00:27:29,483 --> 00:27:33,320
My nephew. One of my nephews.
Grandnephew.

574
00:27:33,420 --> 00:27:35,890
And he is grand.

575
00:27:36,023 --> 00:27:37,892
That looked like
an international number.

576
00:27:37,992 --> 00:27:40,060
He works overseas. I miss him.

577
00:27:40,194 --> 00:27:43,397
I-I don't mean to be rude,
but I do have two shows tonight

578
00:27:43,532 --> 00:27:45,866
and I have to go on vocal rest.

579
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:47,234
Thanks for your time.

580
00:27:47,368 --> 00:27:49,170
Oh. Mm.

581
00:27:49,270 --> 00:27:50,572
Bye.

582
00:27:50,671 --> 00:27:52,541
She threw you out?

583
00:27:52,673 --> 00:27:55,910
-Pretty much.
-Well, that's Ruby.

584
00:27:56,043 --> 00:28:00,814
Now, this mural is my favorite
work of art at the Hotel Reilly.

585
00:28:00,915 --> 00:28:03,717
The artist Pierre Montclair
worked on it for years.

586
00:28:03,851 --> 00:28:06,020
His daughter Ellie
still lives here.

587
00:28:06,086 --> 00:28:09,190
-You'll know it's her.
She wears Coke-bottle glasses.
-Aw.

588
00:28:09,256 --> 00:28:11,458
Apparently, it's filled
with inside jokes.

589
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,528
- See the two trombone players?
- Mm-hmm.

590
00:28:13,595 --> 00:28:15,029
The Fortunato Brothers
were twins

591
00:28:15,095 --> 00:28:17,264
who played here for years.

592
00:28:17,398 --> 00:28:18,567
And that couple dancing?

593
00:28:18,699 --> 00:28:20,434
That's Harold,
a former bartender,

594
00:28:20,535 --> 00:28:23,037
and Sylvie from laundry.

595
00:28:23,103 --> 00:28:24,405
They were married
to other people.

596
00:28:24,506 --> 00:28:25,839
Oh, goodness.

597
00:28:27,274 --> 00:28:28,809
Ellie has permission
to add to the mural

598
00:28:28,909 --> 00:28:30,444
when something important
happens here.

599
00:28:30,579 --> 00:28:32,446
-That's nice.
-Mm.

600
00:28:32,581 --> 00:28:36,283
-Is Ruby Lane anywhere?
-Oh, sure. Yeah.

601
00:28:36,417 --> 00:28:38,185
She's right here.

602
00:28:38,285 --> 00:28:40,655
She told Pierre she'd have
to be carried out of here

603
00:28:40,788 --> 00:28:42,524
- feet first.
- Huh.

604
00:28:42,591 --> 00:28:44,792
That's not what she told us.

605
00:28:44,892 --> 00:28:46,894
There you are. Psst.

606
00:28:46,994 --> 00:28:50,030
My friend in bookkeeping
came through.

607
00:28:50,097 --> 00:28:52,266
Take a look at what Ruby owes.

608
00:28:52,366 --> 00:28:54,603
Oh, my Lord.

609
00:28:55,670 --> 00:28:58,272
- That's in dollars?
- A lot of them.

610
00:28:58,372 --> 00:29:00,975
Huh. And plenty of reason
for Ruby

611
00:29:01,108 --> 00:29:05,145
-to do anything to stay here.
-Mm-hmm.

612
00:29:07,982 --> 00:29:09,551
<i>Mother Abigail.</i>

613
00:29:09,651 --> 00:29:11,318
<i>Is Father Garvey right?</i>

614
00:29:11,418 --> 00:29:13,220
<i>Did you kill that pop star?</i>

615
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:14,589
<i>Of course not.</i>

616
00:29:14,656 --> 00:29:17,024
<i>Then swear. To God.</i>

617
00:29:17,124 --> 00:29:19,793
<i>I can't.</i>

618
00:29:21,362 --> 00:29:23,497
-Huh.
-What are you watching?

619
00:29:23,632 --> 00:29:27,702
Oh. Hey. Uh, this week's episode
of <i>Father Crime.</i>

620
00:29:27,801 --> 00:29:29,136
You pay for that
streaming service?

621
00:29:29,236 --> 00:29:31,138
What? No. Just a free trial.

622
00:29:31,238 --> 00:29:32,940
So, what'd you want
to talk to me about?

623
00:29:33,007 --> 00:29:37,244
Well...
I really think that you should

624
00:29:37,344 --> 00:29:39,614
do something more romantic
when you propose to Roy,

625
00:29:39,714 --> 00:29:41,616
no matter how much
you love frozen pizza.

626
00:29:41,716 --> 00:29:43,917
I don't really want to do
a big thing.

627
00:29:44,018 --> 00:29:48,022
Yes, but you also don't want Roy
to feel disappointed.

628
00:29:48,155 --> 00:29:50,491
I knew this was gonna happen
if I told you.

629
00:29:50,592 --> 00:29:53,294
You've gotten in my head.

630
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:54,763
Why are you doing this?

631
00:29:54,828 --> 00:29:55,996
Is it because you don't think

632
00:29:56,096 --> 00:29:57,498
I'm mature enough
to get married?

633
00:29:57,599 --> 00:30:00,434
What? No. And maturity
is not a requirement.

634
00:30:00,535 --> 00:30:02,771
You know, sometimes maybe
it's not such a bad thing

635
00:30:02,870 --> 00:30:03,971
that I'm more like Dad.

636
00:30:04,038 --> 00:30:05,272
I doubt that.

637
00:30:05,372 --> 00:30:06,508
Because Roy isn't marrying you.

638
00:30:06,608 --> 00:30:07,808
He's marrying me.

639
00:30:07,908 --> 00:30:09,476
And I don't want him
to get a false sense

640
00:30:09,544 --> 00:30:11,045
of what life with me
is going to be like. You know?

641
00:30:11,145 --> 00:30:12,714
There's gonna be more nights
of TV and pizza

642
00:30:12,846 --> 00:30:14,549
than there is flowers
and skywriting.

643
00:30:14,683 --> 00:30:16,518
Why are people
so against skywriting?

644
00:30:16,618 --> 00:30:18,018
-Chemtrails.
-Those aren't real.

645
00:30:18,152 --> 00:30:20,789
Fine, I'll stay out of it.

646
00:30:20,888 --> 00:30:21,855
Too late!

647
00:30:21,955 --> 00:30:23,223
-Hey.
-Hey.

648
00:30:23,357 --> 00:30:24,925
Hey, Teddy.

649
00:30:26,226 --> 00:30:27,194
What's going on?

650
00:30:27,294 --> 00:30:29,897
Nothing, I just...

651
00:30:32,634 --> 00:30:34,803
Do you remember how you proposed
to your wife?

652
00:30:34,902 --> 00:30:36,738
Do I remember?

653
00:30:38,472 --> 00:30:41,543
It cost me two weeks of salary,
but it was worth every penny.

654
00:30:41,643 --> 00:30:45,814
I... still have that...

655
00:30:45,879 --> 00:30:50,050
champagne cork
sitting on my dresser.

656
00:30:51,385 --> 00:30:54,922
And to this day, every year,

657
00:30:55,022 --> 00:30:57,792
on our anniversary, Claudia...

658
00:30:57,891 --> 00:31:00,562
tells the kids about that night.

659
00:31:01,862 --> 00:31:04,865
She remembers every detail,

660
00:31:04,932 --> 00:31:07,101
and so do they.

661
00:31:08,570 --> 00:31:12,574
Oh, you should see
the way her eyes...

662
00:31:12,674 --> 00:31:16,511
light up when she even

663
00:31:16,611 --> 00:31:18,278
thinks about it.

664
00:31:18,412 --> 00:31:20,815
I think I just did.

665
00:31:25,052 --> 00:31:27,154
No, I said stevia.

666
00:31:27,254 --> 00:31:28,523
Yes, ma'am.

667
00:31:29,758 --> 00:31:31,358
Hello.

668
00:31:31,425 --> 00:31:34,027
Would you, uh,
care for some company?

669
00:31:34,895 --> 00:31:35,929
Suit yourself.

670
00:31:36,029 --> 00:31:37,832
Ah. Thank you.

671
00:31:41,301 --> 00:31:44,371
I watched your episode
of <i>Father Crime.</i>

672
00:31:44,438 --> 00:31:45,573
You were very good.

673
00:31:45,673 --> 00:31:47,941
Oh, thank you.

674
00:31:48,041 --> 00:31:50,077
But I kept waiting for the song

675
00:31:50,144 --> 00:31:52,781
that you said you sang
to the orphans.

676
00:31:52,913 --> 00:31:54,783
It wasn't in the episode.

677
00:31:56,083 --> 00:31:58,385
-I guess it got cut.
-Right.

678
00:31:58,485 --> 00:32:01,756
But you said you watched it
the night of the murder.

679
00:32:03,825 --> 00:32:06,661
I'm old. I must have confused
what we shot

680
00:32:06,795 --> 00:32:07,995
and what they used.

681
00:32:08,095 --> 00:32:10,431
Sue me.
It's not out of character.

682
00:32:10,497 --> 00:32:11,965
Right.

683
00:32:12,065 --> 00:32:14,803
And you definitely
are a character.

684
00:32:15,969 --> 00:32:18,673
That must be exhausting
sometimes,

685
00:32:18,773 --> 00:32:20,542
to be the way you are, just

686
00:32:20,642 --> 00:32:25,747
to keep your place
in the city's... zeitgeist.

687
00:32:27,114 --> 00:32:31,084
I wasn't always like this,
and I wasn't always alone.

688
00:32:31,185 --> 00:32:32,854
I was married.

689
00:32:34,622 --> 00:32:37,090
Herman had a...

690
00:32:37,191 --> 00:32:38,292
...had a bagel company.

691
00:32:38,358 --> 00:32:40,327
We had a lot of laughs.

692
00:32:41,261 --> 00:32:42,831
He died too young
and left me enough

693
00:32:42,963 --> 00:32:45,098
to buy that dump upstairs.

694
00:32:45,966 --> 00:32:48,368
After that, I realized...

695
00:32:48,503 --> 00:32:50,170
the only way to survive

696
00:32:50,270 --> 00:32:53,508
being an older woman
in this city

697
00:32:53,608 --> 00:32:57,344
is to be... memorable.

698
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,148
Not just yesterday's news.

699
00:33:04,218 --> 00:33:06,821
Oh, it's, um...

700
00:33:06,888 --> 00:33:08,155
nice chatting with you.

701
00:33:08,222 --> 00:33:10,725
I have a hair appointment.

702
00:33:10,859 --> 00:33:14,228
See you around, Elsbeth.

703
00:33:26,774 --> 00:33:29,476
That sounds familiar.

704
00:33:29,577 --> 00:33:31,411
It's "September Song."

705
00:33:40,187 --> 00:33:43,758
- For me, it's a long while
from May to October.

706
00:33:43,892 --> 00:33:45,960
It's from a show called
<i>Knickerbocker Holiday.</i>

707
00:33:46,059 --> 00:33:48,495
Oh. What was the show about?

708
00:33:48,596 --> 00:33:51,331
It was a musical comedy
about fascism.

709
00:33:51,431 --> 00:33:53,233
It wasn't very popular,

710
00:33:53,367 --> 00:33:56,236
but it gets revived
every once in a while.

711
00:33:56,336 --> 00:34:01,174
The music is so beautiful...
and sad.

712
00:34:01,275 --> 00:34:02,544
Kurt Weill.

713
00:34:02,644 --> 00:34:04,879
He wrote it a few years
after fleeing the Nazis.

714
00:34:04,979 --> 00:34:07,882
He figured people
are safe in America.

715
00:34:07,949 --> 00:34:10,585
Maybe that's why
it sounds so sad.

716
00:34:11,451 --> 00:34:15,690
So the Great American Songbook
isn't just American, is it?

717
00:34:15,790 --> 00:34:17,424
Oh, no. Some of our
best composers

718
00:34:17,525 --> 00:34:20,160
came through Ellis Island
on the way to Tin Pan Alley.

719
00:34:20,260 --> 00:34:22,362
Irving Berlin. Vernon Duke.

720
00:34:22,429 --> 00:34:24,532
-Igor Stravinsky.
-Wait.

721
00:34:24,632 --> 00:34:26,133
Vernon Duke?

722
00:34:27,735 --> 00:34:31,940
"Vernon" was on the index card
above Ruby's bed.

723
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:35,142
It must've been code
for Duke Sebastian,

724
00:34:35,275 --> 00:34:38,178
whom she claimed she didn't
know. She definitely knew him.

725
00:34:38,278 --> 00:34:39,948
Jolly, was there
anything different

726
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:41,716
about the second show
that night?

727
00:34:41,783 --> 00:34:44,451
Was Ruby distracted
or out of breath?

728
00:34:44,552 --> 00:34:47,120
She seemed happy,
which was different.

729
00:34:47,254 --> 00:34:48,957
Oh, and she changed
that one bit.

730
00:34:49,057 --> 00:34:51,726
-What bit?
-She didn't take out
her Mabel Short Award.

731
00:34:51,793 --> 00:34:53,160
She said she forgot to bring it,

732
00:34:53,293 --> 00:34:55,730
but when I placed
the tote bag onstage,

733
00:34:55,797 --> 00:34:57,899
it weighed the same as always.

734
00:34:59,767 --> 00:35:01,636
Like Ruby said, "The lights,

735
00:35:01,736 --> 00:35:06,975
the proximity
expose everything."

736
00:35:55,056 --> 00:35:58,059
Hey, do you mind?
I'm working.

737
00:35:58,158 --> 00:36:00,128
Ruby Lane, you're under arrest
for the murder

738
00:36:00,193 --> 00:36:03,330
of Duke Sebastian Mason,
Lord of Sussexford.

739
00:36:03,397 --> 00:36:06,067
- That's absurd.
- It did seem so,

740
00:36:06,199 --> 00:36:10,004
but we now know you owe
this hotel so much money,

741
00:36:10,071 --> 00:36:13,407
you could not let the Duke vote
to approve the sale.

742
00:36:13,541 --> 00:36:15,208
So you lied,

743
00:36:15,342 --> 00:36:17,679
pretending you didn't know him,
but you had

744
00:36:17,779 --> 00:36:19,379
his phone number taped
to your wall.

745
00:36:19,514 --> 00:36:21,582
We found it in your trash.

746
00:36:21,716 --> 00:36:24,384
And your alibi was shaky.

747
00:36:24,519 --> 00:36:27,722
You pretended that you watched
your episode of <i>Father Crime,</i>

748
00:36:27,822 --> 00:36:30,725
but you didn't know
they'd cut your song.

749
00:36:30,858 --> 00:36:32,560
And don't forget
the yogurt-covered raisins

750
00:36:32,694 --> 00:36:33,728
from the minibar.

751
00:36:33,828 --> 00:36:35,362
How could we?

752
00:36:35,462 --> 00:36:37,899
All that proves nothing.
I'm old,

753
00:36:37,999 --> 00:36:41,703
drunk, outrageous.
I get confused.

754
00:36:41,803 --> 00:36:44,072
No. I don't think you do.

755
00:36:44,172 --> 00:36:48,076
See, I think you pretend
to drink and forget your lyrics

756
00:36:48,176 --> 00:36:51,779
-to make yourself memorable.
-It's working.

757
00:36:51,879 --> 00:36:53,346
But you're right,
it is all

758
00:36:53,447 --> 00:36:55,248
circumstantial
without the murder weapon.

759
00:36:55,382 --> 00:36:58,953
Now, I figured that
you used the shoehorn

760
00:36:59,087 --> 00:37:00,621
from the Duke's closet

761
00:37:00,722 --> 00:37:03,323
to pry off the towel bar
and then make it look like a...

762
00:37:03,423 --> 00:37:05,193
slip-and-fall accident.

763
00:37:05,292 --> 00:37:07,762
But the Duke's room
wasn't as decrepit as yours,

764
00:37:07,862 --> 00:37:11,431
so you had to find something
heavy to use as a hammer.

765
00:37:11,532 --> 00:37:14,569
Like that award
you carry around.

766
00:37:14,635 --> 00:37:17,270
-Can anyone follow this?
-It's not that hard.

767
00:37:17,370 --> 00:37:21,109
But the base of your
Mabel Short Award is.

768
00:37:21,209 --> 00:37:23,811
After you used it
to kill the Duke

769
00:37:23,911 --> 00:37:28,015
and then hammer off the
towel bar, you came back here...

770
00:37:28,950 --> 00:37:31,652
...to the second show,
only this time

771
00:37:31,753 --> 00:37:33,386
you cut the bit
where you take the award

772
00:37:33,487 --> 00:37:37,125
out of your tote, which, um,
really upset Jolly.

773
00:37:37,257 --> 00:37:39,127
I'm a creature of habit
and professionalism.

774
00:37:39,227 --> 00:37:42,230
You didn't take it out
because you realized

775
00:37:42,295 --> 00:37:45,733
the stage lights and the
proximity to the audience

776
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:49,302
would have exposed any blood
or other evidence,

777
00:37:49,436 --> 00:37:51,806
so you waited
until after the show

778
00:37:51,939 --> 00:37:54,441
where you could
wash it all away.

779
00:37:54,542 --> 00:37:57,011
-That is a wild accusation.
-Yes, but

780
00:37:57,145 --> 00:38:00,280
we can prove it. All we need
to do is examine your award.

781
00:38:00,347 --> 00:38:01,783
Well, you can't.

782
00:38:01,883 --> 00:38:04,384
You don't have a warrant.

783
00:38:04,484 --> 00:38:06,486
And this is mine.

784
00:38:06,587 --> 00:38:09,824
See, I told you

785
00:38:09,924 --> 00:38:13,728
I do have a tote
just like that one.

786
00:38:13,828 --> 00:38:16,429
Oh, dear, did I take
the wrong one?

787
00:38:16,496 --> 00:38:18,866
You may have washed it off,

788
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,368
but there, clear as day,

789
00:38:21,501 --> 00:38:26,007
are the imprints
from the shoehorn handle.

790
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,111
They really do monogram
everything at this hotel.

791
00:38:30,178 --> 00:38:31,746
It's like stepping back in time.

792
00:38:31,846 --> 00:38:35,783
It looks like the gig
is finally up.

793
00:38:36,684 --> 00:38:38,753
You have the right
to remain silent.

794
00:38:38,853 --> 00:38:41,388
That's all right.
I know the words.

795
00:38:41,488 --> 00:38:43,558
See, I knew you were lying
when you said

796
00:38:43,691 --> 00:38:44,959
you wanted to leave New York.

797
00:38:45,026 --> 00:38:47,295
How could anybody want to leave?

798
00:38:47,394 --> 00:38:49,462
Feet first.

799
00:38:53,167 --> 00:38:56,403
I wonder what's gonna happen
to this place.

800
00:39:01,976 --> 00:39:05,213
I don't understand. The sign
said the place is closed.

801
00:39:05,313 --> 00:39:07,081
Yeah, for a private event.

802
00:39:07,215 --> 00:39:09,050
That's us.

803
00:39:14,188 --> 00:39:15,488
Shall I bring the first course?

804
00:39:15,590 --> 00:39:16,824
Not yet.

805
00:39:16,891 --> 00:39:19,527
I'm gonna do something
before I lose my nerve.

806
00:39:19,594 --> 00:39:21,428
What are you...?

807
00:39:21,529 --> 00:39:24,932
Oh, my God.

808
00:39:56,764 --> 00:39:59,033
It's true.

809
00:39:59,133 --> 00:40:01,102
He could be on Broadway.

810
00:40:01,202 --> 00:40:02,770
Right?

811
00:40:20,420 --> 00:40:23,624
I still have the cork
sitting on my dresser.

812
00:40:23,758 --> 00:40:26,260
Teddy's getting married.

813
00:40:26,327 --> 00:40:27,494
Yeah.

814
00:40:27,595 --> 00:40:28,763
It happened so fast.

815
00:40:28,863 --> 00:40:31,299
Hey. You okay?

816
00:40:31,431 --> 00:40:32,533
Yeah, I'm okay.

817
00:40:32,633 --> 00:40:34,835
-Oh.
-It's just the end of one season

818
00:40:34,936 --> 00:40:36,170
and the beginning of another.

819
00:40:37,605 --> 00:40:38,839
I know things will change,

820
00:40:38,973 --> 00:40:40,508
and maybe they'll move
to the suburbs,

821
00:40:40,641 --> 00:40:42,576
but no matter what...

822
00:40:42,643 --> 00:40:45,746
I'm not gonna miss out
on being a grandmother

823
00:40:45,813 --> 00:40:47,682
because my clothes are so soft

824
00:40:47,815 --> 00:40:49,984
-and they're gonna love my hugs.
-Hey.

825
00:40:50,117 --> 00:40:52,653
Slow down.

826
00:40:52,753 --> 00:40:55,089
You have nothing to worry about.

827
00:40:55,189 --> 00:40:56,424
Teddy's a mama's boy.

828
00:40:56,489 --> 00:40:59,894
And you are never gonna change.

829
00:40:59,994 --> 00:41:01,662
That's why people love you.

830
00:41:05,032 --> 00:41:07,601
It's gonna be hard
to leave this place.

831
00:41:07,702 --> 00:41:09,403
For me, too.

832
00:41:09,503 --> 00:41:12,640
I was just getting used
to Deandra.

833
00:41:12,707 --> 00:41:15,142
They like me so much,
I'm being promoted

834
00:41:15,209 --> 00:41:17,311
to work for the
Havenford Group office.

835
00:41:17,378 --> 00:41:20,014
Captain Kershaw thinks
it's a smart move.

836
00:41:20,147 --> 00:41:23,150
I kind of like it when you
pop up in surprising places.

837
00:41:23,217 --> 00:41:27,388
-Hmm.
-Hey. Did you ever figure out
who was trying to buy the hotel?

838
00:41:28,222 --> 00:41:30,224
Hmm.

839
00:42:26,580 --> 00:42:28,517
Hey, did you see that?

840
00:42:28,582 --> 00:42:31,185
Oh, I love that show.
Wasn't it wonderful?

841
00:42:31,285 --> 00:42:33,154
It was so great. I cried.

842
00:42:33,254 --> 00:42:35,289
Yeah, me, too.

843
00:42:35,389 --> 00:42:38,192
Isn't it great to love things?
