No, but when the uncle showed up after the party wearing a different tie, 37 00:02:43,230 --> 00:02:45,892 obviously he changed it for a reason. 38 00:02:45,966 --> 00:02:49,094 Then there was the phone call from the coroner. He couldn't have known about that, 39 00:02:49,169 --> 00:02:52,036 not unless he'd overheard the conversation between the doctor and the priest. 40 00:02:52,105 --> 00:02:56,769 Oh, how silly of me.

Look, just because somebody wants to publish my book... 74 00:06:25,886 --> 00:06:28,286 doesn't mean anyone will bother to read it. 75 00:06:53,914 --> 00:06:58,442 But it's all been arranged. They booked you on the Today show, David Letterman, Phil Donahue. 76 00:06:58,518 --> 00:07:02,215 Phil Donahue? Donahue?

You look great. 104 00:08:53,700 --> 00:08:55,827 Oh, thank heavens.

Hey, isn't that something? 155 00:11:49,209 --> 00:11:52,440 She got the idea to write the book from her nephew. No, that isn't what I meant. 156 00:11:52,512 --> 00:11:54,503 Let's see. It's 23 past the hour, and we're sitting here... 157 00:11:54,581 --> 00:11:56,947 with that famous writer... Miss Jennifer Fletcher. 158 00:11:57,016 --> 00:12:00,008 And back with more of your calls right after this word... [Inaudible] 159 00:12:00,086 --> 00:12:03,180 From Henry's Fur Storage. 160 00:12:03,256 --> 00:12:04,883 I'm sorry, honey, but we're just dying in here. 161 00:12:04,958 --> 00:12:08,086 Oh, yes. [Coughing] 162 00:12:08,161 --> 00:12:12,154 Look, m-maybe you're living with somebody. 163 00:12:12,232 --> 00:12:15,326 How about a prison record? Anything? 164 00:12:19,005 --> 00:12:22,668 I, for one, Mrs. Fletcher, was delighted by the feminist thrust... 165 00:12:22,742 --> 00:12:25,006 you were able to weave into your story line. 166 00:12:25,078 --> 00:12:28,309 That really wasn't my intention. Oh, nonsense. 167 00:12:28,381 --> 00:12:30,975 I suppose what I like best of all was your courage... 168 00:12:31,050 --> 00:12:33,450 in choosing the pregnant ballerina as your killer. 169 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,886 I really don't think you should reveal that. 170 00:12:35,955 --> 00:12:39,049 In too many of these books, women are merely ornaments...

Friday, he told me... 536 00:34:36,708 --> 00:34:40,200 that he was onto somethin', and he was gonna tie it all up this weekend. 537 00:34:40,278 --> 00:34:42,178 Maybe he came here to report early. 538 00:34:42,247 --> 00:34:44,772 What, with snoopin'around in the upstairs bedrooms? 539 00:34:44,850 --> 00:34:47,011 Well, I'm sure he didn't want to be seen. 540 00:34:47,085 --> 00:34:50,885 He was more than likely waitin' for a chance to come down here and talk to me privately. 541 00:34:50,956 --> 00:34:53,117 Yeah. Maybe. 542 00:34:53,191 --> 00:34:57,150 But, Caleb, that still doesn't explain what he was doing in your Sherlock Holmes costume. 543 00:34:57,229 --> 00:35:00,357 Well, I don't know about that. I left the party early. 544 00:35:00,432 --> 00:35:03,458 I went out. I went to get some... fresh air. 545 00:35:07,272 --> 00:35:09,900 Ayoung lady from the party... one of the guests... was with me. 546 00:35:09,975 --> 00:35:11,909 I hardly knew her. 547 00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:18,509 All right. We spent the night at the local inn. Okay? 548 00:35:18,583 --> 00:35:20,483 That still doesn't explain the costume. 549 00:35:20,552 --> 00:35:25,717 I put it in the front closet. I wasn't gonna go prancing through the lobby of that motel... 550 00:35:25,790 --> 00:35:29,226 Iooking like a refugee from a costume ball. 551 00:35:29,294 --> 00:35:31,819 Gunderson. We don't have to... 552 00:35:31,897 --> 00:35:34,161 Not gonna drag that girl into this, are we? 553 00:35:36,501 --> 00:35:38,901 Don't see as how we have much choice, 554 00:35:38,970 --> 00:35:42,667 considerin' she's your only alibi. [Sighs] 555 00:35:45,810 --> 00:35:47,744 See you back in New York, AuntJess. Bye-bye. 556 00:35:47,812 --> 00:35:49,746 Have a good trip. [Kit] Okay. 557 00:35:49,814 --> 00:35:53,750 Bye-bye. I hope you don't mind my not going back with you. 558 00:35:53,818 --> 00:35:56,753 I've got a lot to clear up around here. I understand. 559 00:35:56,821 --> 00:35:59,813 But really, Preston, this limousine is totally unnecessary. 560 00:35:59,891 --> 00:36:01,882 [Engine Starts] Just put me on the train. I'll be fine. 561 00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,622 Nonsense. You arrived in style. You'll go back the same way. 562 00:36:06,932 --> 00:36:09,025 Something wrong? 563 00:36:09,100 --> 00:36:11,933 Oh. Hmm? 564 00:36:12,003 --> 00:36:14,471 You seem, I don't know, a little distracted. 565 00:36:14,539 --> 00:36:17,872 [Exhales] I realize this weekend didn't turn out quite the way we planned. 566 00:36:17,943 --> 00:36:19,877 Oh, no, no. It's nothing like that. 567 00:36:19,945 --> 00:36:24,348 It's just that, well, it's so easy to write about murder. 568 00:36:24,416 --> 00:36:29,183 But confronting the reality, hmm, that's quite a different thing. 569 00:36:29,254 --> 00:36:32,223 And then... Yes? 570 00:36:32,290 --> 00:36:34,520 Oh, nothing. I'll be fine. 571 00:36:34,593 --> 00:36:36,527 [Kiss] Safe trip. Yes. 572 00:36:50,675 --> 00:36:54,941 Afternoon, Mrs. Fletcher. Uh, Davis, do you mind dropping me off at headquarters? 573 00:36:55,013 --> 00:36:57,004 I'd be delighted to. Thank you, sir. 574 00:36:58,283 --> 00:37:01,411 [Jessica] What's the matter, Chief? Your car break down? 575 00:37:01,486 --> 00:37:03,647 No, ma'am. I just, uh, wanna have a chat. 576 00:37:03,722 --> 00:37:07,954 A private chat. So, what's the problem? 577 00:37:08,026 --> 00:37:10,995 Problem? I don't know what you mean. Just now, back there, 578 00:37:11,062 --> 00:37:14,156 you had a look on your face same as you had outside by the bushes. 579 00:37:14,232 --> 00:37:18,066 So, let's hear it. Chief, really, this is none of my business. 580 00:37:18,136 --> 00:37:20,604 I'm makin' it your business. 581 00:37:20,672 --> 00:37:24,540 Well, the point is, someone killed Sherlock Holmes. 582 00:37:24,609 --> 00:37:28,807 That New York gumshoe was no Sherlock Holmes. Ah, but he was, Chief. 583 00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:30,973 At least he was the moment that he was killed. 584 00:37:31,049 --> 00:37:35,315 The question is, did the killer know that he was? What? 585 00:37:35,387 --> 00:37:38,515 You're investigating the murder of a private detective. 586 00:37:38,590 --> 00:37:41,753 Now, suppose the killer didn't know that it was Mr. Baxendale. 587 00:37:41,826 --> 00:37:45,057 Suppose the killer thought it was Captain Caleb. 588 00:37:45,130 --> 00:37:49,692 After all, the captain was the one wearing the Sherlock Holmes outfit all night. 589 00:37:49,768 --> 00:37:54,967 Wait a minute. You're telling me we've got two possible victims... 590 00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,634 and two sets of suspects, 591 00:37:57,709 --> 00:38:01,543 dependin' on who the killer thought he was killing. 592 00:38:01,613 --> 00:38:04,309 I'm afraid so. 593 00:38:05,583 --> 00:38:09,576 [Inhales] Between church and football... 594 00:38:09,654 --> 00:38:12,054 and the fact the town council never calls me, 595 00:38:12,123 --> 00:38:14,683 this is my favorite day of the week. 596 00:38:14,759 --> 00:38:18,559 Mrs. Fletcher, you've just made this the worst Sunday I've spent in 10 years. 597 00:38:21,166 --> 00:38:24,431 [Grady] "McCallum had registered at the inn shortly after 10:30. 598 00:38:24,502 --> 00:38:27,665 "The internationally known fast food king was accompanied by a young woman... 599 00:38:27,739 --> 00:38:31,470 whose identity had not been divulged by authorities." 600 00:38:31,543 --> 00:38:33,738 I wonder who that detective was spying on. 601 00:38:33,812 --> 00:38:36,212 Bet you whoever it was is the killer. Maybe. 602 00:38:36,281 --> 00:38:39,341 You know, I bet you could solve this case. 603 00:38:39,417 --> 00:38:42,181 Me? I'm not a detective. I'm a substitute English teacher. 604 00:38:42,253 --> 00:38:44,187 You mean a writer. I don't know what I mean. 605 00:38:44,255 --> 00:38:47,349 But I do know that EthelJenks is leaving Wednesday to visit her daughter in Montpelier, 606 00:38:47,425 --> 00:38:49,359 and I promised I'd take her class for her. 607 00:38:49,427 --> 00:38:52,954 They can get somebody else. No. The truth is, I want to go back. 608 00:38:53,031 --> 00:38:56,762 Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I don't have much use for city life. 609 00:38:56,835 --> 00:38:59,998 And, you know, frankly, except for you and Kit Donovan, 610 00:39:00,071 --> 00:39:03,234 I don't much care for the people either. Even Preston Giles? 611 00:39:06,745 --> 00:39:09,646 At least you could've called him, told him you were leaving. 612 00:39:14,953 --> 00:39:19,117 Oh, Grady, don't pout. I'll call him from Cabot Cove. 613 00:39:20,125 --> 00:39:22,593 And, you know, it's a tad unseemly... 614 00:39:22,660 --> 00:39:25,390 for you to be fixing up your old auntie with a suitor, 615 00:39:25,463 --> 00:39:29,194 no matter how pleasant or distinguished he might be. 616 00:39:29,267 --> 00:39:31,292 Hey, I wasn't. Honest. 617 00:39:33,772 --> 00:39:36,536 You were. Honest. [Laughs] 618 00:39:37,542 --> 00:39:40,705 Well, I'm sorry you guys didn't hit it off. 619 00:39:40,779 --> 00:39:44,215 Oh, but don't you see? That's the trouble. 620 00:39:47,886 --> 00:39:50,855 We were beginning to hit it off much too well. 621 00:39:51,856 --> 00:39:55,155 Well, Mrs. Fletcher, good morning. Daniel, how nice to see you. 622 00:39:55,226 --> 00:39:58,059 Here, let me help you with that. No, no, no. That's not your job. 623 00:39:58,129 --> 00:40:00,063 Now, don't be silly. Well. 624 00:40:00,131 --> 00:40:02,759 How was your stay? Well, I can't wait to get home. 625 00:40:02,834 --> 00:40:06,361 [Chuckling] Jessica! Oh, Mrs. Fletcher! 626 00:40:06,438 --> 00:40:09,430 Oh! Oh, thank God I've caught you. What's the matter, child? 627 00:40:09,507 --> 00:40:12,499 - It's Grady. He's been arrested. - Arrested? For what? 628 00:40:12,577 --> 00:40:15,171 For suspicion of murder. 629 00:40:20,018 --> 00:40:23,385 Chief, my nephew did not kill that private detective. 630 00:40:23,455 --> 00:40:27,687 I hope you're right, Mrs. Fletcher. He seems to be a nice young man... for a thief. 631 00:40:27,759 --> 00:40:30,091 A thief? What are you talking about? 632 00:40:30,161 --> 00:40:33,562 He's been stealing confidential information from his company. 633 00:40:33,631 --> 00:40:35,622 Oh, but that's ridiculous. 634 00:40:35,700 --> 00:40:37,998 Maybe so. Maybe so, Mrs. Fletcher. 635 00:40:40,472 --> 00:40:44,169 But there's some county detectives in there questioning him, and they're not so sure. 636 00:40:44,242 --> 00:40:47,006 Well, I should think that you'd be doing the questioning. [Sighs] 637 00:40:47,078 --> 00:40:49,512 It's a matter of jurisdiction. 638 00:40:49,581 --> 00:40:52,948 When it's murder, the county cops have a way of takin' over. 639 00:40:53,017 --> 00:40:57,545 I suppose they think that a chief of police from a small town like me is in over his head. 640 00:40:57,622 --> 00:41:00,887 Well, if you believe that Grady is a thief, maybe they're right. 641 00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:05,191 Look, Mrs. Fletcher, I know he's kin, 642 00:41:05,263 --> 00:41:07,197 but facts are facts. 643 00:41:07,265 --> 00:41:10,234 At 6:00 a.m. This morning, we found that detective's car... 644 00:41:10,301 --> 00:41:12,667 parked about half a mile from Giles's place. 645 00:41:12,737 --> 00:41:17,834 In the glove compartment, we found a confidential real estate report... 646 00:41:17,909 --> 00:41:23,108 that McCallum tells us is worth $300,000 or $400,000 in the wrong hands. 647 00:41:23,181 --> 00:41:25,411 And it was stolen from his office early Friday morning. 648 00:41:27,185 --> 00:41:29,415 And you assume that Grady is the thief? 649 00:41:29,487 --> 00:41:32,513 He had access, ma'am. And so, I'm sure, did Miss Vickers. 650 00:41:32,590 --> 00:41:35,115 Well, she's being questioned just right at this very moment. 651 00:41:35,193 --> 00:41:38,629 But Baxendale was discovered in your nephew's room. 652 00:41:38,696 --> 00:41:42,132 And that automatically makes Grady the killer. Makes him a suspect... and a pretty good one. 653 00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:45,135 Baxendale could have been in my nephew's room by accident. 654 00:41:45,203 --> 00:41:49,162 The first-floor bathroom was out of order. People were traipsing up and down the staircase all night. 655 00:41:49,240 --> 00:41:53,142 That detective could have ducked into Grady's room to avoid being seen. 656 00:41:54,846 --> 00:41:57,747 That's weak, Mrs. Fletcher. That's very weak. 657 00:41:57,815 --> 00:42:01,251 Now, second, if Grady were the thief, his fingerprints would have been all over that report. 658 00:42:01,319 --> 00:42:03,412 We checked the fingerprints. They're all kinda smudged. 659 00:42:03,488 --> 00:42:06,286 And third, have you also checked the bank accounts? 660 00:42:06,357 --> 00:42:09,451 Now, Grady's account, I know it's... it's anemic. 661 00:42:09,527 --> 00:42:12,257 But what about Miss Vickers? We're looking into it. 662 00:42:14,599 --> 00:42:17,159 Jess, are you all right? Oh, better now that you're here. 663 00:42:17,235 --> 00:42:20,295 Grady is fine. Karl Teretsky is having him released. 664 00:42:20,371 --> 00:42:22,339 We'll meet him in 15 minutes at the restaurant across the street. 665 00:42:22,407 --> 00:42:27,071 Karl Teretsky? That's pretty high-priced legal talent, Mr. Giles. 666 00:42:27,145 --> 00:42:31,775 And what do you suggest, Chief, that I retain some boy right out of law school? 667 00:42:31,849 --> 00:42:34,181 No, thanks. I know how you people operate. 668 00:42:34,252 --> 00:42:38,416 You find yourself a scapegoat, and then you mold your facts to fit the case. 669 00:42:38,489 --> 00:42:40,719 - Well, not this time. - [Sniffs] 670 00:42:40,792 --> 00:42:42,783 I'm gonna ignore that, Mr. Giles. 671 00:42:42,860 --> 00:42:46,261 I may be a small town cop, but I know my job. Do you, Chief? I wonder. 672 00:42:46,331 --> 00:42:48,959 I suppose you're part of that crowd that's tryin' to get rid of me. 673 00:42:49,033 --> 00:42:50,967 No, but don't tempt me. 674 00:42:54,072 --> 00:42:56,302 Just so you understand... [Sniffs] 675 00:42:56,374 --> 00:42:59,172 I'm gonna catch this killer. 676 00:42:59,243 --> 00:43:01,177 That's a promise. 677 00:43:01,245 --> 00:43:03,543 I never saw that report before or that detective. 678 00:43:03,615 --> 00:43:06,448 [Jessica] Oh, I'm sure you didn't, Grady. 679 00:43:06,517 --> 00:43:09,384 I just got off the phone with Karl Teretsky. Things aren't looking any better. 680 00:43:09,454 --> 00:43:13,481 Seems that Baxendale had a reputation as a cheap blackmailer. What's that got to do with Grady? 681 00:43:13,558 --> 00:43:17,187 The way the police figure it, Baxendale got the goods on Grady, 682 00:43:17,261 --> 00:43:21,197 then came back to the party to confront him... probably to extort a payoff. 683 00:43:21,265 --> 00:43:25,463 Baxendale took the Sherlock Holmes costume out of the front closet so he could mingle, 684 00:43:25,536 --> 00:43:27,629 then lured Grady out to the pool area. 685 00:43:27,705 --> 00:43:30,731 They think that Grady lost his temper and shot him with the skeet gun. 686 00:43:30,808 --> 00:43:34,574 Oh, fiddle-faddle! Mr. Baxendale was a detective, not a mind-reader. 687 00:43:34,646 --> 00:43:38,514 I mean, how could he possibly have known that that costume was in the hall closet? 688 00:43:38,583 --> 00:43:41,780 They're not thinking clearly. Even so, there must be a reason he was dressed that way. 689 00:43:41,853 --> 00:43:46,017 Oh, of course. And once we can figure out why, I suspect we'll know who. 690 00:43:46,090 --> 00:43:48,024 Which brings me to the subject of Miss Vickers. 691 00:43:48,092 --> 00:43:50,026 Would she have taken that report, do you think? 692 00:43:50,094 --> 00:43:53,689 Are you kidding? Two years ago, she was low gal in the steno pool. 693 00:43:53,765 --> 00:43:57,030 Then, all of a sudden, she and the captain were practicing indoor Olympics... 694 00:43:57,101 --> 00:43:59,035 in hotel rooms all over town. Kit. 695 00:43:59,103 --> 00:44:01,037 Well, it's the truth, isn't it? 696 00:44:01,105 --> 00:44:03,835 Then, for the last few months, she gets frozen out. 697 00:44:03,908 --> 00:44:06,741 Oh, not herjob.
