00:00:18,060 --> 00:00:23,180
Barnaby Jones, a Quinn Martin
production, starring Buddy Epson.

2
00:00:23,940 --> 00:00:30,899
Also starring Lee Merriweather, Mark
Schera, with

3
00:00:30,900 --> 00:00:36,560
guest stars David Hedison, Joshua
Bryant,

4
00:00:36,900 --> 00:00:42,680
John McLean, Marla Adams.

5
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,220
Tonight's episode.

6
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:49,340
The Deadly Charade.

7
00:01:13,931 --> 00:01:21,439
or if you hadn't caused me a perfectly
good hairdo horsing around on that boat.

8
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,120
Sandra, I plead innocent.

9
00:01:23,121 --> 00:01:26,759
That wave hit the boat when my back was
turned. Is that right, Rob? Oh, sure,

10
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,359
Paul. That was a wave and not your three
left feet that caused our boat to sink.

11
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,100
There were no waves. We all came far
tonight.

12
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:35,890
Rob, you want one?

13
00:01:36,340 --> 00:01:37,390
Thanks,

14
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:39,250
Betty.

15
00:01:47,591 --> 00:01:54,279
one of these back to Sandra. Oh, let me.
Maybe I can help her with her hair.

16
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:55,330
Okay.

17
00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,140
Your cousin Sandra is playing a sly
little old matchmaker, isn't she?

18
00:02:00,420 --> 00:02:03,160
Having Betty and you as houseguests at
the same time.

19
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,140
Just a very happy coincidence.

20
00:02:07,980 --> 00:02:09,900
Sandy, I've got your drink out here.

21
00:02:10,199 --> 00:02:11,249
Mmm, thanks.

22
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,120
Oh, that's nice.

23
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,220
I'm admiring your oriental figurine. Is
it new?

24
00:02:18,221 --> 00:02:24,079
always find something rare for me in
that antique shop of his whenever he

25
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,320
for a visit. It's called Goddess of
Sleep.

26
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,650
Oh, I hope it works because nothing I've
been taking does.

27
00:02:31,820 --> 00:02:34,540
You having trouble with Harry still?

28
00:02:35,340 --> 00:02:36,390
Mm -hmm.

29
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:38,960
No chance of a reconciliation?

30
00:02:40,180 --> 00:02:41,230
No.

31
00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:44,270
I think this time divorce is the only
solution.

32
00:02:45,460 --> 00:02:46,680
Oh, honey, I'm sorry.

33
00:02:49,511 --> 00:02:56,259
Paul even drove up to the cabin this
morning to try and patch things up and

34
00:02:56,260 --> 00:02:58,480
Harry's just about to we lost the place.

35
00:03:00,260 --> 00:03:02,580
Oh Boy, what am I gonna do about this
mop?

36
00:03:02,581 --> 00:03:06,159
Oh, hey, don't use their hot rollers to
take too long. Use your blow -dryer

37
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:10,399
Okay, I'll help you say it later. Would
you? Yeah, thanks Betty. Hurry they're

38
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,460
waiting for you. All right Hi,

39
00:03:16,780 --> 00:03:20,120
I think I'll take a quick shower and
freshen up a bit myself

40
00:03:20,830 --> 00:03:21,880
How's Sandra doing?

41
00:03:21,970 --> 00:03:23,750
She'll be joining us shortly. Good.

42
00:04:32,390 --> 00:04:35,130
And then the wind came up and we turned
downwind.

43
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:16,450
Betty?

44
00:05:48,490 --> 00:05:49,540
Out there.

45
00:05:51,890 --> 00:05:52,940
Betty,

46
00:05:54,310 --> 00:05:56,390
is she... She's dead.

47
00:06:01,850 --> 00:06:03,010
Get an ambulance.

48
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,470
I see somebody who could use a couple
hours sleep.

49
00:06:29,280 --> 00:06:30,600
When did your plane get in?

50
00:06:30,740 --> 00:06:31,790
An hour ago.

51
00:06:31,791 --> 00:06:35,939
They gave me your message along with one
from California Meridian Insurance.

52
00:06:35,940 --> 00:06:37,940
Sandra Lassiter carried a big policy.

53
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:39,290
They want a report.

54
00:06:42,140 --> 00:06:43,190
I know, Betty.

55
00:06:43,580 --> 00:06:45,800
I know you and Sandra go back a long
way.

56
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,900
It's so hard to believe she's gone.

57
00:06:49,180 --> 00:06:50,600
I just got a sketchy report.

58
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,260
She was shot by a burglar who then shot
Paul Nugent.

59
00:06:54,860 --> 00:06:56,340
It's about all anybody has.

60
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:01,560
Paul heard something. He went into her
room.

61
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,460
She was fighting with a man in a red ski
mask.

62
00:07:06,860 --> 00:07:12,000
And Paul went after him and manshot him.
How's Paul?

63
00:07:13,380 --> 00:07:16,960
Oh, not so bad. He was just grazed along
this ribcage.

64
00:07:18,260 --> 00:07:23,260
He's insisting on being released from
the hospital. I said I'd...

65
00:07:23,261 --> 00:07:25,129
Go down and pick him up around ten.

66
00:07:25,130 --> 00:07:26,489
Yeah, why don't you go ahead?

67
00:07:26,490 --> 00:07:27,890
The deputies will fill me in.

68
00:07:28,670 --> 00:07:29,720
Glad you're here.

69
00:07:39,390 --> 00:07:41,470
Oh, we got an excellent print, Sheriff.

70
00:07:41,830 --> 00:07:42,880
Oh, good, Abrams.

71
00:07:43,270 --> 00:07:44,830
Take it to the lab, huh? Yes, sir.

72
00:07:45,830 --> 00:07:46,880
Barnaby!

73
00:07:47,450 --> 00:07:48,850
You called out on this case?

74
00:07:48,851 --> 00:07:52,729
Well, the company wanted me to make a
routine investigation and report.

75
00:07:52,730 --> 00:07:54,960
Well, there's nothing routine around
here.

76
00:07:55,730 --> 00:07:58,380
Burglary with a house full of guests
milling around.

77
00:07:58,950 --> 00:08:04,110
An estranged husband with a story that
he's been driving around all night.

78
00:08:04,450 --> 00:08:05,500
Doesn't know where.

79
00:08:06,090 --> 00:08:09,929
Harry Lasseter can't account for his
whereabouts? I just got back from

80
00:08:09,930 --> 00:08:11,070
with him up at his cabin.

81
00:08:11,510 --> 00:08:14,970
He says he was out hanging one on, to
use his words.

82
00:08:15,510 --> 00:08:16,610
We'll see about that.

83
00:08:16,611 --> 00:08:19,069
Do you mind if I ask him a few
questions?

84
00:08:19,070 --> 00:08:20,120
Not at all.

85
00:08:20,310 --> 00:08:21,750
Keep in touch, partner. Right.

86
00:08:54,890 --> 00:08:59,149
Don't you think you should have spent at
least one day in the hospital? I hate

87
00:08:59,150 --> 00:09:02,509
hospitals. Anyway, they're not doing any
more for me than the bandage I'm

88
00:09:02,510 --> 00:09:03,560
wearing.

89
00:09:05,730 --> 00:09:06,930
What about the burglar?

90
00:09:07,690 --> 00:09:09,860
Have the police come up with any leads
yet?

91
00:09:10,030 --> 00:09:14,269
No, no, not yet. Are you sure you should
be walking around like this? Yeah, my

92
00:09:14,270 --> 00:09:17,989
side's a little stiff, but the doctor
says moving around is the best thing I

93
00:09:17,990 --> 00:09:20,030
do for it. Let me get this for you.

94
00:09:20,031 --> 00:09:21,869
Here you go. Easy.

95
00:09:21,870 --> 00:09:22,920
Thanks.

96
00:09:38,579 --> 00:09:39,899
How's Harry taking it all?

97
00:09:40,660 --> 00:09:45,760
I don't know. Up until I left the house,
he was nowhere to be found.

98
00:09:47,860 --> 00:09:48,910
Paul.

99
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:51,210
Poor Harry.

100
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,220
First, the loss of their two children in
that awful auto accident.

101
00:09:56,371 --> 00:09:58,399
No, Sandra.

102
00:09:58,400 --> 00:09:59,450
I know.

103
00:10:01,460 --> 00:10:02,780
Harry wasn't at his cabin?

104
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:04,450
No, no.

105
00:10:04,620 --> 00:10:09,439
The sheriff had a deputy out there since
last night waiting for him, but he

106
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:10,439
never showed up.

107
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,630
That's funny. I was with him for about
an hour yesterday morning.

108
00:10:13,631 --> 00:10:17,219
He was deep inside an article he was
writing. He swore he wasn't going to

109
00:10:17,220 --> 00:10:19,570
his cabin until he met that magazine
deadline.

110
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,080
Well, maybe he finished it.

111
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:25,490
Or...

112
00:10:26,030 --> 00:10:27,910
Maybe Harry changed his mind.

113
00:10:35,450 --> 00:10:40,570
I think we met in passing earlier this
year at the Park Gun Club, Mr. Jones.

114
00:10:40,910 --> 00:10:42,530
I bet he was with you.

115
00:10:42,970 --> 00:10:45,710
Yes, I think you were qualifying for the
pistol team.

116
00:10:46,350 --> 00:10:50,690
I became a fan of yours reading your
column in the sports quarterly.

117
00:10:50,990 --> 00:10:52,770
A new fan I can always use.

118
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,659
You understand, Mr. Lasseter, that
although I turn in my reports to the

119
00:10:57,660 --> 00:11:01,900
insurance company, they could wind up in
any court record.

120
00:11:02,220 --> 00:11:06,280
In other words, watch what I say to you.
I'm three steps ahead, Mr. Jones.

121
00:11:06,540 --> 00:11:11,319
The sheriff did more than hint that my
wife had wealth and a divorce might be

122
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,120
leaving me with financial problems.

123
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:18,240
Did the sheriff say anything about the
burglary, that it was a very clumsy job,

124
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:22,130
making it appear the burglar was more
interested in murder than robbery?

125
00:11:23,050 --> 00:11:26,290
I don't buy it. My wife had no enemies.
That includes me.

126
00:11:27,670 --> 00:11:28,720
I miss her.

127
00:11:29,470 --> 00:11:31,190
Almost as much as I miss our kids.

128
00:11:32,730 --> 00:11:38,229
It was after their death five years ago
that things started to get sour between

129
00:11:38,230 --> 00:11:39,280
us.

130
00:11:39,281 --> 00:11:43,909
Something about my shoe interest you,
Jones? I think you'll find a duplicate

131
00:11:43,910 --> 00:11:47,529
this tread in the flower garden outside
of the bedroom at the beach house.

132
00:11:47,530 --> 00:11:49,090
I used to live there, remember?

133
00:11:49,091 --> 00:11:54,459
Sheriff Coyle says you're having some
trouble accounting for your time last

134
00:11:54,460 --> 00:11:57,460
night. Maybe I feel I don't have to
account for my time.

135
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:03,260
If so happens, I finished my article
early, about six, and went for a drive.

136
00:12:03,261 --> 00:12:04,819
You remember where you drove?

137
00:12:04,820 --> 00:12:09,139
I'd been drinking all day while I was
writing. I was half stoned, somewhere up

138
00:12:09,140 --> 00:12:09,819
the coast.

139
00:12:09,820 --> 00:12:12,890
The critical time would be 8 .30. That's
when your wife was shot.

140
00:12:13,140 --> 00:12:17,900
I was sleeping it off on a beach by
then.

141
00:12:17,901 --> 00:12:21,979
I can't prove it, but the sheriff will
have to live with it. You happen to

142
00:12:21,980 --> 00:12:23,030
recall which beach?

143
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,460
Uh, yeah, of course.

144
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:28,880
It was just above Dunes Point.

145
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:54,699
Harry, listen, I'm not due to return
home for a few more days, and maybe I

146
00:12:54,700 --> 00:12:56,019
should get a room at a hotel.

147
00:12:56,020 --> 00:12:58,250
Don't be silly, Paul. Stay as long as
you want.

148
00:12:58,900 --> 00:12:59,950
I'll get it.

149
00:13:05,260 --> 00:13:09,260
Oh, hi, I'm Barnaby Jones. Is Mr.
Lasseter home? Oh, yes, he's right

150
00:13:09,420 --> 00:13:10,740
Thank you. I'm Paul Nugent.

151
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:12,440
Oh, how are your ribs?

152
00:13:12,660 --> 00:13:14,240
Much better, thanks. Good.

153
00:13:17,870 --> 00:13:19,250
Back so soon, Mr. Jones?

154
00:13:19,450 --> 00:13:23,149
I came by to give you a chance to
correct your story, that you were

155
00:13:23,150 --> 00:13:27,830
the beach above Dune Point, or were you
actually wearing scuba gear at the time?

156
00:13:28,750 --> 00:13:31,310
Ah, I forgot to tie it.

157
00:13:32,690 --> 00:13:34,890
All right, I'm a lousy liar.

158
00:13:36,030 --> 00:13:37,710
I was with a girl last night.

159
00:13:38,310 --> 00:13:39,450
Stupid of me lying.

160
00:13:40,070 --> 00:13:42,730
I was ashamed, I guess, hearing Sandra
was dead.

161
00:13:43,410 --> 00:13:46,250
Can this girl establish her exact
whereabouts at 8 .30?

162
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:49,720
It was at the Blue Surf Motel.

163
00:13:50,500 --> 00:13:53,740
Signed in about 7 .30, using the name
Smith.

164
00:13:53,741 --> 00:13:56,159
What's the girl's name and where does
she live?

165
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:57,600
I only know her first name.

166
00:13:57,940 --> 00:14:01,260
Shelly. I never saw her before. Never
expected to see her again.

167
00:14:02,220 --> 00:14:06,699
I am wondering if you are aware, Mr.
Lassiter, that first of all with your

168
00:14:06,700 --> 00:14:10,800
and then your general vagueness, you're
creating a difficulty for yourself.

169
00:14:11,620 --> 00:14:12,670
Difficulty?

170
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:13,970
Oh, the insurance.

171
00:14:13,971 --> 00:14:17,859
I keep forgetting that your company will
save a million dollars if I'm guilty of

172
00:14:17,860 --> 00:14:18,910
my wife's murder.

173
00:14:19,340 --> 00:14:20,390
Come on, Harry.

174
00:14:20,660 --> 00:14:22,830
I'm sure no one's accusing you of
anything.

175
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,840
Where did you meet the girl? I don't
know. I was pretty wiped out from

176
00:14:27,740 --> 00:14:31,660
I remember hitting some of the South
Beach bars and then meeting her in one.

177
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:33,740
Tall, blonde, good build.

178
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:35,700
Do you remember the name of the bar?

179
00:14:36,540 --> 00:14:40,330
One of those places where the beach kids
hang out. The Beads and Sandal Punch.

180
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:42,330
Find her Jones.

181
00:14:42,820 --> 00:14:43,900
She'll clear this up

182
00:15:15,530 --> 00:15:16,580
Hello.

183
00:15:16,970 --> 00:15:18,250
Good morning, Mr. Jones.

184
00:15:18,251 --> 00:15:22,169
My associate and I checked out that
motel. There's nothing much there in

185
00:15:22,170 --> 00:15:24,410
favor except you did sign in at 7 .30.

186
00:15:24,411 --> 00:15:27,349
However, after that, you weren't seen or
heard of much.

187
00:15:27,350 --> 00:15:29,470
Didn't anybody see a girl with me? Nope.

188
00:15:29,471 --> 00:15:33,529
They're beginning to check out the bars
along South Beach now. I was hoping that

189
00:15:33,530 --> 00:15:37,049
your head would be clear. You might be
able to give us some help. Yeah, I

190
00:15:37,050 --> 00:15:39,490
a guitarist.

191
00:15:40,330 --> 00:15:42,070
I remember throwing him some money.

192
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:46,160
How about a place called The Hangout?
That do anything to you? The Hangout?

193
00:15:47,380 --> 00:15:48,430
I'm not sure.

194
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:52,200
They got a guitarist. The bartender's
out now. We're going to check back.

195
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:57,139
The bartender might know this, Shelly. I
vaguely recall her kidding somebody

196
00:15:57,140 --> 00:15:58,190
behind the bar.

197
00:16:23,790 --> 00:16:24,840
There you go.

198
00:16:26,970 --> 00:16:31,850
What I meant to say before is that on a
busy night, you stop looking at faces.

199
00:16:32,270 --> 00:16:36,120
What about a girl named Shelly? You ever
heard her name mentioned in here? No.

200
00:16:36,510 --> 00:16:37,890
Tall, blonde, good figure?

201
00:16:38,030 --> 00:16:39,910
You just described half my customers.

202
00:16:40,690 --> 00:16:41,740
How about him?

203
00:16:42,390 --> 00:16:43,440
Very drunk.

204
00:16:43,870 --> 00:16:47,470
Can't seem to remember much except
giving a guitar player some money.

205
00:16:47,770 --> 00:16:48,820
The tipper.

206
00:16:49,730 --> 00:16:50,950
Charlie got a tent.

207
00:16:51,410 --> 00:16:53,210
Charlie's got his strings out there.

208
00:16:53,450 --> 00:16:56,850
And he left another ten when he paid his
bill. To him, I noticed.

209
00:16:56,851 --> 00:17:00,349
You remember something about the girl
kidding with the bartender?

210
00:17:00,350 --> 00:17:03,310
Uh... Hey, wait a minute. I got it now.

211
00:17:03,930 --> 00:17:10,009
The girl with this guy... Now, I did
think she was calling me over, but she

212
00:17:10,010 --> 00:17:13,549
joking with this Alma something or other
who was sitting right where you are now

213
00:17:13,550 --> 00:17:16,050
and bending my ear, right?

214
00:17:16,250 --> 00:17:18,600
So Alma would know the girl we're
looking for?

215
00:17:18,601 --> 00:17:21,489
Yeah, I guess, but I don't know where
Alma lives, though.

216
00:17:21,490 --> 00:17:22,540
She's a painter.

217
00:17:22,839 --> 00:17:25,640
This place was a god -awful two -headed
69 thing.

218
00:17:30,580 --> 00:17:31,630
Hang up.

219
00:17:33,300 --> 00:17:34,350
Yeah.

220
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:36,600
Said your name was Joan?

221
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:38,890
Eddie.

222
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:40,960
Yep. Just a minute, I'm coming.

223
00:17:41,060 --> 00:17:43,350
Barnaby, I just got a call from Sheriff
Coyle.

224
00:17:43,351 --> 00:17:46,179
He wondered if you might be able to meet
him up at the Park Gun Club.

225
00:17:46,180 --> 00:17:49,479
Call the sheriff back and tell him I'll
meet him there within the hour.

226
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:50,530
Right -o.

227
00:17:54,821 --> 00:18:02,529
If she sells any pictures, I want you to
check the art places on Beach Road here

228
00:18:02,530 --> 00:18:03,970
and see if they know her. Right.

229
00:18:21,300 --> 00:18:25,959
I would say that outside of the pistol
teams who like to measure their own

230
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,900
powder, very few of the shooters reload
their own ammo.

231
00:18:29,380 --> 00:18:33,140
Well, this bullet was used in the murder
weapon, a reload.

232
00:18:33,141 --> 00:18:37,899
And the boys came up from the lab this
morning, and they say that this reload

233
00:18:37,900 --> 00:18:41,339
equipment was used to make the
cartridges in the gun that killed Sandra

234
00:18:41,340 --> 00:18:45,389
Lassiter. Well, I know that Harry
Lasseter does his own reloading. He's

235
00:18:45,390 --> 00:18:49,249
articles about it. But what bothers me
is that you would hang your hat on this

236
00:18:49,250 --> 00:18:50,300
kind of evidence.

237
00:18:50,410 --> 00:18:55,589
Whoever it was that killed Sandra could
have stolen or borrowed a box of reloads

238
00:18:55,590 --> 00:18:57,009
from anybody on the firing line.

239
00:18:57,010 --> 00:19:02,030
Barnaby, I'm hanging my hat on Harry
Lasseter's footprints in the garden.

240
00:19:02,670 --> 00:19:04,650
On a man who has red ski masks.

241
00:19:05,390 --> 00:19:08,969
A man who profits greatly from his
wife's death. A man who can't account

242
00:19:08,970 --> 00:19:12,260
time. and now a man who reloads his own
ammunition.

243
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:16,739
Harry Lasseter is not a stupid man. If
he wanted to kill his wife, you'd think

244
00:19:16,740 --> 00:19:18,000
he'd have been this crude.

245
00:19:18,380 --> 00:19:20,760
Barnaby, have you ever seen him drunk?

246
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:23,890
I've had him in the tank on two
occasions.

247
00:19:23,891 --> 00:19:27,519
You're saying that he got drunk and
planned to kill his wife on the spur of

248
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,350
moment? What better way to account for
his clumsiness?

249
00:19:53,130 --> 00:19:55,110
Well, now that would do Picasso justice.

250
00:19:56,610 --> 00:19:58,250
You've just made my day.

251
00:19:59,170 --> 00:20:02,540
Well, you sure would be making mine if
you told me your name was Alma.

252
00:20:02,910 --> 00:20:04,090
Bingo. Good.

253
00:20:06,870 --> 00:20:11,569
What is this, a new kind of hobby?
You're seeing how many Almas you can

254
00:20:11,570 --> 00:20:12,409
along the beach?

255
00:20:12,410 --> 00:20:15,989
I tell you, it took me hours to find
that little place you work, you know,

256
00:20:15,990 --> 00:20:20,069
then when I found that, they told me
you'd be here. But actually, I'm looking

257
00:20:20,070 --> 00:20:21,750
for a friend of yours named Shelly.

258
00:20:21,751 --> 00:20:23,579
You a PD?

259
00:20:23,580 --> 00:20:26,350
No, no, no, nothing like that. I work
for a private... Sorry.

260
00:20:27,420 --> 00:20:31,619
I work for a private investigating
agency, part -time, and I'm working my

261
00:20:31,620 --> 00:20:32,459
through law school.

262
00:20:32,460 --> 00:20:33,960
What kind of trouble is she in?

263
00:20:34,220 --> 00:20:35,270
Well, none we know of.

264
00:20:35,860 --> 00:20:37,910
Our agency would just like to talk to
her.

265
00:20:37,911 --> 00:20:41,059
What if she doesn't want to talk to you?

266
00:20:41,060 --> 00:20:42,110
I tell you what.

267
00:20:42,111 --> 00:20:44,179
Why don't you leave it up to Shelly?

268
00:20:44,180 --> 00:20:48,300
Give her this, and tell her that one
phone call to us is worth 20 bucks. Now,

269
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:49,370
that's for openers.

270
00:20:49,650 --> 00:20:53,169
Now, I'm sure that our client would come
up with a nice big check for an

271
00:20:53,170 --> 00:20:54,189
interview, okay?

272
00:20:54,190 --> 00:20:56,360
Tell her that you missed a spot right
there.

273
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,490
Well, friend or foe, it's up for you to
decide.

274
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,350
But it's worth 20 bucks and a lot more
for an interview.

275
00:21:29,700 --> 00:21:30,750
So, whatever.

276
00:21:32,020 --> 00:21:33,580
Hey, thanks, Elma. Yeah, sure.

277
00:22:04,360 --> 00:22:07,060
Hi. We have a mutual friend, Alma.

278
00:22:08,220 --> 00:22:09,270
Oh, yeah.

279
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:11,730
Well, actually, a very recent
friendship.

280
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:13,380
She gave you our business card.

281
00:22:13,660 --> 00:22:14,710
I'm Barnaby Jones.

282
00:22:17,820 --> 00:22:19,340
I was supposed to call you.

283
00:22:19,900 --> 00:22:23,799
As a matter of fact, I saw Alma pass the
card to you, and being a descendant of

284
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,860
Sherlock Holmes, I naturally deduced a
few deductions.

285
00:22:28,260 --> 00:22:30,730
Alma said there'd be some money in
talking to you.

286
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,630
Oh, I wouldn't quibble about the price
if you can help us.

287
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:35,560
Non -quibblers are my kind of people.

288
00:22:35,940 --> 00:22:37,120
Come on in, Mr. Jones.

289
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:50,970
Well,

290
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,400
I never did get any merit badges for
neatness. Oh, no, no. It's cozy.

291
00:22:55,401 --> 00:22:58,239
Now, Shelly, I'll tell you what this is
all about.

292
00:22:58,240 --> 00:22:59,860
Do you remember Harry Lasseter?

293
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,330
Who? Well, you wouldn't know him by that
name.

294
00:23:02,580 --> 00:23:03,630
Smith.

295
00:23:03,690 --> 00:23:06,100
At least you signed the motel register
that way.

296
00:23:06,750 --> 00:23:08,830
No, no, no, wait a minute. No hassles
here.

297
00:23:09,050 --> 00:23:11,850
All we're talking about is a divorce
case.

298
00:23:12,530 --> 00:23:13,580
Oh.

299
00:23:14,070 --> 00:23:18,290
So that's the thing, huh? And all we
want from you is an informal statement.

300
00:23:18,450 --> 00:23:22,530
Now, you were with this Smith at the
Blue Surf Motel on Tuesday night.

301
00:23:23,530 --> 00:23:25,390
I guess you'd find out about it anyway.

302
00:23:25,650 --> 00:23:31,510
And between the hours of 7 and, let's
say, 9 o 'clock or so...

303
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,020
He was never out of your sight?

304
00:23:35,180 --> 00:23:36,900
Look, we gotta get into detail.

305
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:38,490
Nice work.

306
00:23:39,120 --> 00:23:40,170
Lovely, lovely.

307
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:45,620
Oh, my point in question. Was he ever
out of your sight between those hours?

308
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,340
Right. Hey, what's all this information
worth?

309
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:49,890
It's priceless.

310
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,070
She was carrying your business card,
Barnaby.

311
00:24:14,420 --> 00:24:15,880
The reason we called you down.

312
00:24:18,780 --> 00:24:23,760
Maybe this is the chalet that Lasseter
says he was with. How did she die in?

313
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,940
We found her beach mat and a handbag up
on the roof.

314
00:24:27,820 --> 00:24:29,060
She'd been sunbathing.

315
00:24:30,780 --> 00:24:35,660
And then she came down to her apartment
for something. Or so it would appear.

316
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,420
You sound like you think otherwise.

317
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:41,950
This proves to be the girl Lasseter was
with.

318
00:24:43,060 --> 00:24:45,580
My patience with him has just about run
out.

319
00:24:47,340 --> 00:24:51,460
Ed, why would Lasseter pick this girl
who would give the lie to a story?

320
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:55,440
He'd pick a fictitious name and
description and let her go at that.

321
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,170
Which he might be having second thoughts
about.

322
00:24:59,780 --> 00:25:01,620
We checked his whereabouts today.

323
00:25:01,940 --> 00:25:02,990
At home.

324
00:25:03,140 --> 00:25:06,680
No callers, no visitors, no proof he was
there.

325
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:09,140
It's powerful, Mr. Lasseter.

326
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:20,090
Hey.

327
00:25:21,500 --> 00:25:24,420
That is not cheap costume jewelry.

328
00:25:25,020 --> 00:25:27,380
No, it surely isn't.

329
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:34,320
Then explain it.

330
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:39,619
In your own words. I can't explain it.
Whoever burglarized the house knew this

331
00:25:39,620 --> 00:25:41,420
girl, Shelley, and gave her the ring.

332
00:25:41,860 --> 00:25:47,379
Mr. Lasseter, in view of no credible
explanation by you of what is proving to

333
00:25:47,380 --> 00:25:51,320
far too many coincidences, I'm placing
you under arrest.

334
00:25:52,060 --> 00:25:55,780
John Cutton, you will be charged with
suspected murder.

335
00:26:15,190 --> 00:26:17,540
Jones, will you call my lawyer? Yes, of
course.

336
00:26:17,990 --> 00:26:19,040
Harry?

337
00:26:20,970 --> 00:26:22,020
Barnaby?

338
00:26:22,630 --> 00:26:25,280
Harry's just been arrested for the
murder of Sandra.

339
00:26:25,550 --> 00:26:26,870
I don't believe that.

340
00:26:27,510 --> 00:26:29,070
There's a case against him?

341
00:26:29,330 --> 00:26:33,889
Well, so far it's purely circumstantial,
but if it ever comes to trial, I think

342
00:26:33,890 --> 00:26:35,469
that your testimony might help him.

343
00:26:35,470 --> 00:26:36,520
My testimony?

344
00:26:36,521 --> 00:26:40,349
Well, you were closest to the intruder.
You struggled with him. Did you notice

345
00:26:40,350 --> 00:26:42,290
any smell of alcohol or liquor on him?

346
00:26:43,020 --> 00:26:47,360
Mr. Jones, the only thing I remember
from that night is a blur of confusion.

347
00:26:47,361 --> 00:26:51,019
Well, you didn't mention it in your
statement to the sheriff. However, the

348
00:26:51,020 --> 00:26:55,120
manager of the motel said that he
noticed a strong smell of liquor.

349
00:26:56,180 --> 00:26:59,560
Well, I've got to get on with some
things. Do you need me, Barnaby?

350
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:03,610
I'm going to see Jedediah and then talk
to some people. I'll check you later.

351
00:27:10,060 --> 00:27:11,110
You know...

352
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:15,940
When I first came here, this home struck
me as being close to perfect.

353
00:27:16,860 --> 00:27:21,360
A few miles from the beach, the
mountains nearby, marvelous.

354
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:23,500
Sandra loved it, too.

355
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,700
I'm not sure Harry did, though. Oh,
Harry was a fool.

356
00:27:29,120 --> 00:27:32,680
I mean, not to have considered he was
making Sandra unhappy.

357
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,400
He's a man who had everything and
appreciated nothing.

358
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,160
And now with this arrest...

359
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,340
Which I hope and pray is a mistake.

360
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:43,840
It would be nightmarish if it isn't.

361
00:27:46,060 --> 00:27:52,280
Betty, I, uh... I've never been good
talking around a subject.

362
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,750
I'm dreading the day I have to leave
here, and I'm sure you know why.

363
00:28:01,180 --> 00:28:06,280
Everything has been pleasant up until...
I love you, Betty.

364
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:08,250
I had to say it.

365
00:28:09,659 --> 00:28:14,399
Maybe they're considered cornball words
today, but I had to let you know exactly

366
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:15,450
how I feel.

367
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:22,680
Well, they're not cornball words. It's
just that... Wow, Mr.

368
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:24,260
Nugent, you really move fast.

369
00:28:25,220 --> 00:28:27,020
Am I the wrong man saying the words?

370
00:28:27,300 --> 00:28:29,280
Oh, no, I didn't mean that.

371
00:28:30,120 --> 00:28:33,440
It's just that... How do I say it?

372
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:35,810
Say it.

373
00:28:36,660 --> 00:28:38,200
I'm fond of you, Paul.

374
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:42,640
Can we just wait and see?

375
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:44,490
Okay.

376
00:28:45,500 --> 00:28:46,550
Let's see.

377
00:29:14,300 --> 00:29:15,620
About two weeks.

378
00:29:15,860 --> 00:29:19,959
Shelly came from Santa Barbara about the
first of the month and said something

379
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:21,640
about trying to get a modeling gig.

380
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:28,159
That apartment she was living in was
sort of... Well, let's say she wasn't

381
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:29,240
too well financially.

382
00:29:29,380 --> 00:29:30,500
You can say that again.

383
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:35,219
Hey, I don't know if it's karma or what,
but some people just don't get the

384
00:29:35,220 --> 00:29:38,959
breaks. Last winter, her old man up and
split with a beat -up old car that she'd

385
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,220
saved all year to buy. Can you believe
it?

386
00:29:41,580 --> 00:29:46,739
When you gave her my card and asked her
to call me, would you say that she

387
00:29:46,740 --> 00:29:47,980
needed money?

388
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:52,879
I can do more than say it. She borrowed
money for groceries that morning from

389
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,880
me. She was really down and out, huh?
Oh, and hurting.

390
00:29:56,820 --> 00:30:00,250
Mr. Jones, I've got to put a couple
hours in at the art gallery tonight.

391
00:30:00,251 --> 00:30:03,039
And I don't really think there's much
more I can tell you about Shelly.

392
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:07,119
One last question, Elma. When you gave
her my card, did you have the impression

393
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:08,560
that she was going to call me?

394
00:30:08,700 --> 00:30:09,750
For 20 bucks?

395
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,030
That's a week's rent in that rat trap
she was living in.

396
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:15,250
Thanks for dinner.

397
00:30:20,721 --> 00:30:23,539
Doesn't make sense, Jennifer.

398
00:30:23,540 --> 00:30:27,539
A girl has a valuable ring like that in
her possession for several days and goes

399
00:30:27,540 --> 00:30:29,220
around borrowing money for food?

400
00:30:29,221 --> 00:30:32,439
Well, if you're thinking somebody
planted the ring in Shelley's apartment

401
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,670
frame Harry Lasheter, what about a
motive?

402
00:30:35,100 --> 00:30:37,570
Well, I've been talking with Sandra's
attorney.

403
00:30:38,110 --> 00:30:40,520
Her estate's going to amount to over $4
million.

404
00:30:41,110 --> 00:30:45,809
Outside of a bequest of $50 ,000 to an
uncle in Canada, Harry gets the whole

405
00:30:45,810 --> 00:30:49,410
thing. Unless, of course, somebody
proves that he murdered her.

406
00:30:49,650 --> 00:30:53,509
Right. His share would go back into the
estate to be divided amongst Andrew's

407
00:30:53,510 --> 00:30:54,560
blood relatives.

408
00:30:54,850 --> 00:30:57,800
I'm trying to get the attorney to tell
me how many there are.

409
00:30:58,030 --> 00:31:02,589
Of course, one is the uncle in Canada.
He can't be located. He's supposed to be

410
00:31:02,590 --> 00:31:04,090
on some kind of a business trip.

411
00:31:04,330 --> 00:31:07,880
Wait a minute. You think that uncle
might be in L .A.? That's a possibility.

412
00:31:07,950 --> 00:31:11,690
And then there is the cousin, Paul
Nugent.

413
00:31:12,490 --> 00:31:18,709
The way he looks to me, behind that
boyish smile, you'll find one of the

414
00:31:18,710 --> 00:31:20,370
gamblers this side of Las Vegas.

415
00:31:21,450 --> 00:31:22,500
Wow.

416
00:31:22,870 --> 00:31:24,630
Now that would be heavy.

417
00:31:29,610 --> 00:31:31,290
Would have been a matter of timing.

418
00:31:31,350 --> 00:31:36,189
Paul knocks things about to make it look
like a struggle and shoots Sandra and

419
00:31:36,190 --> 00:31:39,349
himself. What about fingerprints? Police
didn't find any gloves.

420
00:31:39,350 --> 00:31:43,050
Could have used anything, a sheet, a
blanket to hold the gun.

421
00:31:43,290 --> 00:31:47,109
All right, okay. So he goes up to
Harry's cabin one day during the week

422
00:31:47,110 --> 00:31:48,160
Harry isn't there.

423
00:31:48,470 --> 00:31:51,110
Takes a pair of shoes, some reload
ammunition.

424
00:31:51,530 --> 00:31:54,670
One thing I can't explain, and that's
the missing jewelry.

425
00:31:55,110 --> 00:32:00,609
Betty said that she saw Sandra take the
ring off and put it in this box, which

426
00:32:00,610 --> 00:32:01,660
was right there.

427
00:32:03,390 --> 00:32:06,600
So... We know it was in the room along
with the other missing pieces.

428
00:32:06,601 --> 00:32:10,339
Well, would he hide it somewhere in the
room, knowing that police would be

429
00:32:10,340 --> 00:32:13,819
processing a room after a killing like
that? Well, one thing is sure, he

430
00:32:13,820 --> 00:32:16,410
wouldn't plan on taking it to the
hospital with him.

431
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:21,740
Want to be Jones' office?

432
00:32:23,380 --> 00:32:24,820
Yeah, he's right here. Hold on.

433
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:26,640
Attorney for the Lassiter case.

434
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:32,000
Leonard, thank you for getting back to
me so soon.

435
00:32:32,300 --> 00:32:33,350
That's okay.

436
00:32:33,580 --> 00:32:38,219
According to a genealogical study
Sandra's father commissioned when he was

437
00:32:38,220 --> 00:32:43,279
alive, Sandra's only blood relatives
were limited to that uncle in Canada I

438
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,160
you about and Paul Nugent.

439
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:48,980
The only two people in Sandra's will
were her husband and the uncle.

440
00:32:49,220 --> 00:32:52,040
Yes, except for a token bequest to Paul
Nugent.

441
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:53,860
A few personal things.

442
00:32:54,540 --> 00:33:00,759
But since we've talked, Paul is suddenly
very much in the picture inheritance

443
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:02,280
-wise. How's that?

444
00:33:02,281 --> 00:33:06,879
Since Sandra's death, I've been trying
unsuccessfully to contact that uncle at

445
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:08,160
his farm in Winnipeg.

446
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:14,619
About 15 minutes ago, I got word back
that his body was found at the bottom of

447
00:33:14,620 --> 00:33:16,580
well. Is that so?

448
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:18,720
The uncle's dead.

449
00:33:19,060 --> 00:33:21,320
What? Anything else, Barnaby?

450
00:33:21,620 --> 00:33:24,210
No, thank you, Leonard. We'll call you
if we need you.

451
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:28,720
When had it happened?

452
00:33:34,899 --> 00:33:35,949
Gentlemen,

453
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:40,220
I have made a discovery. I enjoy being
spoiled.

454
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:46,120
Press duck at Monique's this evening and
tomorrow champagne brunch.

455
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:56,639
What's the matter? Outside of a few
minor bequests, the only two people

456
00:33:56,640 --> 00:34:01,700
mentioned in Sandra's will were her
husband Harry and an uncle in Canada.

457
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,060
Oh, yes, that would be her Uncle Reese.

458
00:34:04,460 --> 00:34:05,840
She was very fond of him.

459
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:07,300
Uncle Reese is dead.

460
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:11,060
I'm sorry to hear that.

461
00:34:11,620 --> 00:34:15,738
Not as sorry as I am to tell you that
the only thing standing between Paul

462
00:34:15,739 --> 00:34:21,678
Nugent and some several million dollars
is Harry Lasseter's conviction for

463
00:34:21,679 --> 00:34:22,729
murder.

464
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:41,689
Paul is behind all this. He certainly
does not have a lock on Harry Lasseter

465
00:34:41,690 --> 00:34:43,609
being convicted. There's no direct
evidence.

466
00:34:43,610 --> 00:34:46,190
The fact that Paul must be well aware
of.

467
00:34:46,429 --> 00:34:53,149
Now, if he is dealing out these cards,
and I say if, he must have a joker palm

468
00:34:53,150 --> 00:34:54,200
somewhere.

469
00:34:55,010 --> 00:34:59,330
So now, it's like waiting for the other
shoe to fall.

470
00:35:17,900 --> 00:35:18,950
Expecting rain?

471
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:22,250
Sorry, no.

472
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:25,820
I just can't seem to get Sandra off my
mind.

473
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:28,050
And now Harry.

474
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,720
And I can tell you the trial won't be
easy on any of us.

475
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:36,650
Oh, Betty, I thought I could pull it
off, but no, I'm not sure.

476
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:40,200
Not if the prosecution hammers away at
that one point.

477
00:35:40,780 --> 00:35:42,080
I don't understand, Paul.

478
00:35:42,300 --> 00:35:43,350
It came up yesterday.

479
00:35:43,980 --> 00:35:47,050
Barnaby speaking about my testimony
being in Harry's favor.

480
00:35:48,140 --> 00:35:52,300
You see, I never mentioned it before
that the burglar might have been

481
00:35:52,301 --> 00:35:54,939
I never mentioned it because I didn't
think it was important.

482
00:35:54,940 --> 00:35:56,620
And now with Harry being involved.

483
00:35:57,060 --> 00:35:58,440
The man had been drinking?

484
00:35:59,100 --> 00:36:00,150
Yes.

485
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:01,330
I'll bet he.

486
00:36:01,860 --> 00:36:04,210
I'm afraid I won't make a good defense
witness.

487
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:09,200
I mean, the fact that I personally like
Harry. I mean, you know that.

488
00:36:10,300 --> 00:36:13,250
And some of the things I'll be forced to
admit if they ask me.

489
00:36:17,070 --> 00:36:19,670
All you can do is tell the truth, Paul.

490
00:36:24,070 --> 00:36:26,180
You know, Betty, there's one other
thing.

491
00:36:26,450 --> 00:36:30,589
I... Well, it's something I've been
wrestling with since that night.

492
00:36:30,590 --> 00:36:34,020
that I haven't told anyone because it
could almost be an accusation.

493
00:36:34,270 --> 00:36:35,320
Against Harry?

494
00:36:36,630 --> 00:36:37,830
At the time I was shot.

495
00:36:37,831 --> 00:36:41,609
I mean, everything was very painful for
a moment and I remember there was a

496
00:36:41,610 --> 00:36:43,780
ringing in my ears from the sound of the
gun.

497
00:36:44,270 --> 00:36:45,320
And then...

498
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:51,059
My eyes were closed, and I heard a voice
like a

499
00:36:51,060 --> 00:36:56,400
muttered curse, somebody saying, damn
fool.

500
00:36:57,360 --> 00:36:59,770
Are you saying the voice sounded like
Harry's?

501
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:03,140
Oh, no, no, no. I couldn't swear it was
Harry's voice.

502
00:37:05,540 --> 00:37:07,770
At the same time, I couldn't swear it
wasn't.

503
00:37:17,071 --> 00:37:24,579
Well, Barnaby, Paul had only seconds to
snatch his jewelry before Betty and the

504
00:37:24,580 --> 00:37:25,720
others came running in.

505
00:37:27,220 --> 00:37:29,480
Well, Sandra was back in the dressing
area.

506
00:37:30,060 --> 00:37:32,770
He'd have had all the time he needed to
hide the jewels.

507
00:37:37,720 --> 00:37:38,770
Barnaby?

508
00:37:38,900 --> 00:37:39,950
Yes, Betty?

509
00:37:40,180 --> 00:37:42,120
The other shoe just dropped.

510
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:46,699
Seems the man behind the ski mask not
only had been drinking, he also muttered

511
00:37:46,700 --> 00:37:47,639
few words.

512
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:49,300
Let me take a not -so -wild guess.

513
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:51,180
He sounded like Harry.

514
00:37:52,340 --> 00:37:55,720
If pressed, he feels he must admit such
was the case.

515
00:37:56,140 --> 00:37:58,740
Barnaby, he seems to be in an expansive
mood.

516
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:00,090
Very confident.

517
00:38:00,720 --> 00:38:04,320
Suppose I draw him out. Get him to talk
about the night Sandra was killed.

518
00:38:04,780 --> 00:38:08,620
No. If we're right about Paul, he's not
somebody to play games with.

519
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:12,270
Why don't you draw out to lunch? Give us
a couple more hours here.

520
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:13,490
Right.

521
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:18,020
That jewel case goes on the table. Yeah.

522
00:38:18,021 --> 00:38:21,189
You know, Barnaby, Paul's been in the
house alone.

523
00:38:21,190 --> 00:38:22,630
The jewels could be anywhere.

524
00:38:22,650 --> 00:38:26,749
No, because when Paul shot himself, he
had no idea how serious the wound would

525
00:38:26,750 --> 00:38:30,949
be. So he had arranged to leave the
jewelry in some place for possibly

526
00:38:30,950 --> 00:38:32,000
weeks.

527
00:38:34,270 --> 00:38:35,410
Where's the figurine?

528
00:38:35,491 --> 00:38:37,869
I don't know. Where is it?

529
00:38:37,870 --> 00:38:41,309
When you took the stuff off the table,
wasn't there an oriental figurine with

530
00:38:41,310 --> 00:38:41,949
it? No.

531
00:38:41,950 --> 00:38:44,180
No, there was just this and these two
things.

532
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:57,719
On the night that Sandra was murdered,
there was an Oriental figurine in this

533
00:38:57,720 --> 00:38:59,040
room on that table.

534
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:06,759
I'm sure that it was in Betty's
statement to Sheriff Coyle. I know it's

535
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:07,810
somewhere.

536
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:09,610
Here it is.

537
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:15,879
Okay, Coyle. You did see this dinner
ring being placed in the jewelry box the

538
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:17,380
night Mrs. Lasseter was killed.

539
00:39:17,500 --> 00:39:19,420
Betty, it was definitely there.

540
00:39:19,421 --> 00:39:23,249
I happened to be standing at the table
admiring an Oriental antique Mr. Nugent

541
00:39:23,250 --> 00:39:26,489
had given Sandra when she removed the
ring from her finger and placed it into

542
00:39:26,490 --> 00:39:27,129
the box.

543
00:39:27,130 --> 00:39:29,310
A gift from Paul to Sandra.

544
00:39:31,130 --> 00:39:33,150
Sort of a Trojan horse.

545
00:39:33,701 --> 00:39:40,249
Look, if it's anything like those
childproof bottles, why don't you just

546
00:39:40,250 --> 00:39:41,300
it open?

547
00:39:41,350 --> 00:39:43,290
Ah, ye of little faith.

548
00:40:06,230 --> 00:40:08,400
Jackpot. We're so foolish when we're
young.

549
00:40:08,810 --> 00:40:10,630
I mean, it passes by so quickly.

550
00:40:11,170 --> 00:40:15,570
And all the I wish I had has become
almost like a theme song for failure.

551
00:40:16,550 --> 00:40:20,160
That old expression, take the bull by
the horns, well, it's the way to go.

552
00:40:21,270 --> 00:40:24,150
And you feel now that you've taken the
bull by the horns?

553
00:40:24,430 --> 00:40:26,350
And making decisions right for me, yes.

554
00:40:27,510 --> 00:40:30,040
When I was packing for my trip here, I
told myself,

555
00:40:30,490 --> 00:40:31,870
There are no more tomorrows.

556
00:40:32,310 --> 00:40:33,550
Only the todays.

557
00:40:34,010 --> 00:40:35,110
You've got to gamble.

558
00:40:35,810 --> 00:40:39,570
Gamble. Life against life. What you are
against what you could be.

559
00:40:40,850 --> 00:40:43,890
Good grief, Paul, you make living sound
grim.

560
00:40:44,150 --> 00:40:45,230
My life is grim.

561
00:40:45,750 --> 00:40:46,830
Like poor Sandra.

562
00:40:47,270 --> 00:40:50,640
You blow -dry your hair one minute, and
the next minute you're dead.

563
00:40:50,930 --> 00:40:51,980
Planes crash.

564
00:40:52,770 --> 00:40:53,820
Boat.

565
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:01,930
Something wrong?

566
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:04,360
Besides the old killjoy here?

567
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:05,850
No.

568
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:09,380
No, I... I just have to get back.

569
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:11,730
Okay.

570
00:41:12,620 --> 00:41:13,670
Dinner tonight?

571
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:17,080
Oh, I'm sorry. I've got a ton of
bookkeeping.

572
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:18,700
You know, the IRS.

573
00:41:18,980 --> 00:41:20,030
Always on our trail.

574
00:41:20,820 --> 00:41:22,740
You're no good at playing poker, Betty.

575
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:24,440
No good at being devious.

576
00:41:26,540 --> 00:41:27,920
Ask me what you're thinking.

577
00:41:31,651 --> 00:41:38,379
Born to be, they left just a few minutes
ago. The waitress thinks that they're

578
00:41:38,380 --> 00:41:39,640
headed down to the marina.

579
00:41:43,300 --> 00:41:44,350
Oh, please.

580
00:41:44,660 --> 00:41:47,060
Oh, you're hurting me.

581
00:41:48,300 --> 00:41:51,910
I made a mistake, didn't I? I don't know
what you're talking about, Paul.

582
00:41:53,140 --> 00:41:54,420
What was it, Betty?

583
00:41:54,900 --> 00:41:58,120
What was my mistake, Betty?

584
00:41:59,920 --> 00:42:02,640
Talking about Sandra Blodranger here.

585
00:42:04,330 --> 00:42:08,689
How would you have known that unless you
were in her bedroom while she was in

586
00:42:08,690 --> 00:42:09,740
her dressing room?

587
00:42:11,070 --> 00:42:15,790
You weren't in your room hearing a
scuffle as you told the sheriff.

588
00:42:17,610 --> 00:42:19,590
Such a small thing.

589
00:42:58,160 --> 00:42:59,960
I don't have any other choice, Betty.

590
00:42:59,961 --> 00:43:02,539
You're not going to be able to explain
my body being so near.

591
00:43:02,540 --> 00:43:05,379
They'll have to prove it wasn't an
accident. I'll settle for that.

592
00:43:05,380 --> 00:43:06,430
Oh, why?

593
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:07,970
Why all the killing?

594
00:43:08,900 --> 00:43:10,020
It can't be for money.

595
00:43:10,500 --> 00:43:12,180
You're a successful businessman.

596
00:43:12,820 --> 00:43:13,870
Successful?

597
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:16,330
Hanging on by my fingertips year after
year?

598
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:19,930
Coming here as Sandra's house guest to
sip at the good life for a week?

599
00:43:20,260 --> 00:43:21,310
Maybe two?

600
00:43:22,020 --> 00:43:23,820
And then do you know what I go back to?

601
00:43:24,240 --> 00:43:27,080
A pretense that is slowly...

602
00:43:27,580 --> 00:43:28,630
Burying me.

603
00:43:30,780 --> 00:43:32,280
I know you don't understand.

604
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:36,220
But I love you, Betty.

605
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:38,400
Now it doesn't matter.

606
00:43:45,420 --> 00:43:47,200
Nugent! Get back!

607
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:49,850
Sheriff knows all about that hollow
antique.

608
00:43:52,720 --> 00:43:54,160
You got no place to go.

609
00:43:55,340 --> 00:43:56,500
Come on, Nugent.

610
00:43:57,060 --> 00:43:58,800
You don't want to hurt anybody else.

611
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:39,850
Thank you.

612
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:15,330
I learned that Paul Nugent flew into
Winnipeg and rented a car.

613
00:45:15,420 --> 00:45:18,500
So much for how Sanders' uncle wound up
in the well.

614
00:45:18,900 --> 00:45:24,100
I wonder what he had in mind for me if
I'd been found not guilty at a trial.

615
00:45:24,101 --> 00:45:26,129
Maybe you'll sleep better never knowing.
