Promo one, take one.

How's the hair? MAN 2: Perfect.

Women who make love on airplanes, tomorrow on Galloway.

Promo two, take one.

Married women and their lesbian lovers, tomorrow on Galloway.

Great. That stunk!

Promo two, take two.

Married women and their lesbian lovers,

tomorrow on Galloway.

What do you think, Dan?

Perfect.

Promo three, take one.

Men who can't get enough,

tomorrow on Galloway.

And cut!

Okay, people, let's pull cameras back to show positions.

Cut. That's it?

You were great, Nick.

That's better!

Where's that coffee?

Lisa Bateman.

I don't care what Dan's upset about.

I'm not coming down to the set.

Tell him whatever you want.

No, wait.

Tell him, as his executive producer,

I want him to get a haircut.

Yeah. Okay, bye.

And so it should be fun.

Nothing fancy.

Just the basic three-guest setup.

But, uh, I don't have to tell you

how this is done, do I?

You could probably give me a few pointers.

Well, there's really nothing

to concern yourself with.

Thanks.

Leanne.

Wow.

Can't believe I finally got you here.

You look great.

Thank you.

How long is it you two have, uh, seen each other?

Three years?

Five. Is, uh,

everybody set?

I'm ready. Yeah?

Well, then you'll excuse me then.

I have a few last minute things to take care of.

So I'll, I'll give you ladies some time to get acquainted.

Okay.

Hello, dear. Nice to see you.

Hello. Nice to see you again.

Uh... be kind.

In five, four, three...

Women in power.

From Cleopatra to Imelda Marcos,

it's long been an issue for debate...

Brains versus breasts.

Do women deserve prominent positions

or do they position themselves to gain prominence?

That's the focus of this edition of Dan Galloway.

My guests today are three women, all personal friends of mine,

who exemplify women at the top.

First, Katherine Randolph.

Her nationally syndicated column

is the last word on Beverly Hills style.

Next, Marla Cordante,

who made headlines prosecuting the Atkinson murder trial,

and is now a judge on the appellate court.

And finally, Leanne Wilson, who for four years,

was my co-host on A.M. Bakersfield.

She's given up the limelight for a more fulfilling life,

and now owns Bakersfield's first wedding consultancy firm.

Please, welcome all of them.

Katherine, as a woman whose job it is to comment...

Dan, sorry, we got a problem in the booth.

It'll just be a minute.

We need to get a reading on all your mics.

So, if you could each just state your name, then count to ten.

Katherine. One, two, three,

four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

Hold your places people. We're gonna go again

just as soon as we get audio cleared up.

Well, the problem is that women have to walk a very fine line.

We want to retain our femininity

without being viewed as seductive.

Yes.

She makes it all sound good, but any man can tell you,

when a woman isn't getting what she wants

in business or at home,

she gets it the old-fashioned way.

Oh, you mean she earns it.

I can't believe you said that.

Believe it.

Yes?

Michelle Thomas to see you.

Send her in.

Michelle! Lisa!

Welcome to L.A.

Oh, it's been too long. Yeah.

Carr Dormitory. Overlooking the Drama department.

Yeah, freshmen. Yeah.

Whoo! Look how far you've come.

Oh, boy, the years, huh?

What if someone actually figures out how many years?

We'll just say they're lying.

I'm glad you're here.

We couldn't resist your offer.

Where's Mr. Matlock?

Call him "Ben." Okay.

He's people watching. He'll be along.

This is my first chance at substance and quality.

And I can't thank either of you enough

for agreeing to make an appearance.

Well, it sounds great.

Real Law, a show with lawyers about real cases.

Mm-hmm. A real insight into the legal system.

Lisa Bateman.

Vicious rumors or fact?

Judge Cordante has risen to the top of her profession

in record time.

Here she is with Governor Leon Grees.

Now, with Congressman Robert Arnold.

And here with State Party Chairman Edward Dorfman.

Would you not assume that she's

offering these gentlemen more than professional opinions?

Now, what do you think?

What do you think?

No, it was just a technical difficulty.

We had to start the show again.

Yeah, we'll postmortem this later. Okay, bye.

He can't be that big a jerk.

Can and is.

You're not planning to use him

on Real Law, are you?

God forbid.

I didn't invent Dan Galloway.

He created himself.

With any luck, this'll be my future.

He's gotta be acting.

Nobody's that big a jerk.

Excuse me.

Lisa Bateman.

I'm gonna let you work. Okay, just a second.

We're having dinner, aren't we?

You bet. Ben, too. Oh, great.

I'll explain the show to you then, and thanks again.

You are both going to be wonderful!

Okay. Okay.

What is it?

Those were pictures

taken at various political events.

You've used them out of context.

And I'm not going to stay here any longer

and dignify this with an answer.

And, uh, now, a word from our sponsor.

And we're in commercial.

Marla! Marla!

Marla! Marla! Marla!

Baby, you were great.

Your decision to storm off... Brilliant.

You creep! You made a fool out of me.

I made a personality out of you.

You're sick! And I'm an idiot

for ever appearing on your show. - You loved it.

I'll invite you back.

You'll hear from my attorney.

30 seconds.

I've got 20 seconds.

What?

Are you one of the guests on the next show?

How's that?

Are you one of the guys who can't get enough?

Enough what?

Sex.

What, wha...?

What, what are you talking about?

You know,

I just want to know how a guy your age can sustain it.

How you come off asking me a question

like that?! Hey, save that for the show, Rupert.

Save that for the show.

My name's not Rupert!

And I'm not on any show.

What do you think of that, jerk?!

Guy's a jerk.

That's Dan Galloway.

Dan Galloway's a jerk.

Five, four, three...

Jerk!

Welcome back.

Katherine. Leanne.

How do you answer to your reputation as dragon ladies?

I mean, this is a classic case

where a man who is opinionated, dominant,

uh, a perfectionist is deemed a leader.

Whereas a woman with exactly the same

characteristics is labeled a "bitch."

Exactly.

That's why I chose to leave the television business.

Leanne, didn't you

leave your job because your contract wasn't renewed?

I mean, didn't your sudden decision

to devote your life to coordinating

napkins with centerpieces come about

because your reputation made it impossible

for you to get another job in television?

My decision was based on the fact that I was set up,

in the same way by the same person

as I'm being set up now.

My dear, we're all being set up.

But I mean, what can you expect?

Let us not forget that this is the man

who parachuted nude into the Hollywood Bowl parking lot

just to get an extra rating point.

Well, is that any worse than ridiculing people

for not being invited to some society party,

and then trashing those who were

for wearing the same dress twice?

Careful, Katherine.

Move too fast, your face

might fall.

And we're in commercial. Thank you.

That should be good for another 41 share.

Piece of cake.

Well, Dan, you can put that one in your scrapbook.

'Cause none of our stations are gonna run that show.

Oh, sweetie.

You don't mean that.

It was tasteless, defamatory,

and left us wide open for lawsuit.

It's controversy.

It's heat.

Public eats it up. Look at the ratings.

It was crap.

Slanderous crap.

And I'm not gonna run it.

Mmm.

Poor Lisa.

So refined.

So... tasteful.

Much too good for Dan, am I right?

I never said that.

Sweetie, it's written all over you.

Let's not fight.

I, uh... I bought you a present.

Go ahead.

Open it.

What's the occasion?

Don't you get it?

I'm giving you the axe.

Sweetie...

guess who bought the company last month.

The Vesten Corporation.

And guess who is the Vesten Corporation.

Think hard, sweetie.

Vesten is an anagram for Steven.

Which is whose middle name?

Oh, my God.

And as the new president,

not only am I in control, which, uh,

means of course that today's show will air,

but you, my dear, are out of a job.

I don't believe this.

Poor little Lisa's in shock.

But tastefully.

You're insane!

This is all a game to you!

You don't even deserve to live!

Temper, temper.

Oh, did I mention to you

that I need your offices cleaned out by tomorrow morning?

There's some empty boxes in the mailroom.

Say, why don't you ask?

Lisa?

Lisa?

Still here?

Why not?

You have nowhere to go.

I'm sorry.

You came all this way for nothing.

No, the trip was fine.

But I want nothing to do with this show...

This Real Law... if Dan Galloway is gonna do it.

I don't think Dan'll do the show.

It's not exactly his style.

Style.

When did being a jerk become a style?

Hmm.

Well, at least we've had some time together.

Yeah. Lisa Bateman? Yes?

I'm Lieutenant Burner of the Los Angeles Police.

We have a warrant for your arrest.

What?

You're being charged with the murder of Dan Galloway.

You have the right to remain silent.

If you give up that right,

anything you say or do can and will be used against you

in a court of law.

Don't say another word, Lisa.

Ben and I are going to defend you.

I can't tell you how much I appreciate this.

What are friends for?

Well, they got a pretty good case against you.

You were in the building at the time of the murder,

an eyewitness heard you threaten him,

and your fingerprints are all over the murder weapon.

Ben, the only time I saw that axe was in his office.

And I left it there.

Well, who else could've gotten hold of it?

Anyone.

Anyone who works in the studio.

Anyone who had a pass to the building today.

The three women who were on the show this afternoon...

They were all angry enough to want to kill him.

Hmm.

Well, how can we see a tape of that show?

You find anything? Not much...

Matches, the top of a pen, all the typical

of what you'd find on the floor of an office.

They tracing this?

According to the police, that button wasn't found

on any of the clothing Joe was wearing the day of the murder.

Not that that helps; it could have dropped off anytime.

Well, yeah,

yeah, yeah, but...

doesn't a cleaning crew come in here every night?

Sure, they do, but with the way people clean nowadays,

we figure it could have been here for months.

Yeah.

You mind if I hang on to this?

Well, with your client's fingerprints

all over the murder weapon...

Yeah, you probably won't be needing this.

I won't let it get away from me.

Was this machine unplugged when the body was found?

Must have been.

We searched the room; nobody changed anything.

Hmm. Huh.

Hmm.

I'll be right back.

Yeah.

Excuse me.

Can I help you?

I sure hope so.

I'm investigating Mr. Galloway's murder.

I was home when it happened.

No, no, I'm not investigating you.

When you finish using one of these machines,

do you unplug it?

Unplug it?

No, it's like a TV set.

You just turn it off when you're through.

Huh, so if one of these machines is unplugged,

would you say someone unplugged it on purpose?

Yeah.

Do you have a minute?

Sure.

Tape's still in the machine,

so we'll plug it in and it should come up.

And what we'll see is whatever

Dan Galloway saw when he unplugged it?

That's right.

Well, I'll be damned.

Yes, I stormed off the set and, yes,

I was murderously angry at Dan Galloway.

You can understand why.

Oh, oh, sure, sure. Man was a jerk.

Yes.

But I did not kill him.

Now, I would like to discuss this with you at length,

but I'm preparing a decision

that I have to render this afternoon,

so I must ask you to excuse me.

It's lunchtime, so why couldn't we...

I'm lunching in.

Perhaps we can talk tomorrow. Call me.

Judge Cordante, would you say

that Dan Galloway was the kind of person

who ever did anything without a purpose?

Mr. Matlock,

I really am busy.

A-A-At the moment he was killed,

he was watching a tape of the show that you appeared on.

Yes. Although he was dying,

he left, what I believe, was a dying message.

He pulled the plug from an editing machine

so the tape would end on your face.

Me? Yes, your face

was on the screen when Dan Galloway died.

Mr. Matlock, if this is

how you plan to build a case against me,

I would suggest that you look for another profession.

Now, really, I must get back to work.

I'm not building anything, yet.

It would just seem to me, that, as an officer of the court,

you'd be more cooperative.

All right.

Now, it's my understanding that the murder happened

between 7:00 and 7:15.

And I know for a fact that by then,

I was already having dinner with a friend.

Now, I must insist that you go.

If you have any more questions,

call me in the morning. Okay.

But, uh, why,

why would a woman of your stature,

a judge, agree to appear on the Galloway show?

Well, um...

Well, I wanted to host

his new legal advice show, Real Law.

Real Law.

No, I'm not going to give up law for show business,

at least not permanently, but, well, I did think

it would be interesting and lucrative for awhile.

Yeah. Well, it hasn't hurt Judge Wapner.

No, I guess not.

Of course, he actually is in show business.

I should have called you, Phil.

Her Honor's lunching out today.

Don't worry, I'll pay you.

♪ ♪

♪ ♪

Mr. Matlock, what are you doing here?

I thought we'd finish our conversation over lunch.

You're David Cabot.

That's right.

Your Honor,

you shouldn't be seen with this man.

That's none of your business.

But he's all over the papers,

indicted for tax fraud, SEC violations...

Indicted, not convicted.

And Judge Cordante is free to be seen

with whomever she likes.

She can't feel that free.

Otherwise, she'd see you out in the open,

not hiding under some fishpond.

I don't like what you're insinuating, Mr. Matlock.

I'll say it right out loud.

Being seen with you could hurt

the judge's reputation and career.

Mr. Matlock, I will answer your questions right now.

You know what I want to know.

Who were you with at the time of the murder?

She was with me.

You'll testify to that?

Of course.

Is that what you want?

No!

I mean, I was with David, but...

Please.

Your Honor, you're placing me

in a very awkward position.

I'll tell you what I'll do.

I'll keep this little bit of information

in my hip pocket for a while.

Good luck to you.

Thank you.

I can't wish you luck.

I've read the charges against you, and

I'll just wish you a miracle.

You saw Judge Cordante?

Yeah.

Maybe she's sowing a few wild oats,

or getting a little poison out of her system.

What are you talking about?

Well, pretty soon she may be in another line of work.

But she does have an alibi.

But Dan Galloway went to a lot of trouble

to name her as the killer before he died.

Well, maybe he's trying to tell us something else.

What?

We have nothing to go on.

No.

Not much.

I don't understand it.

Well, you knew him.

That was the style.

I'm sorry it worked out this way.

Well, it's not your fault.

So, what happens to you now?

Well, with Dan dead,

the corporation's asked me to stay on.

Oh. Oh, hello.

Oh, you're Miss Wilson.

Yes. Uh, Ben Matlock.

Oh, yes, you're Lisa's attorney, right?

Yeah. Yeah.

I understand that you used to work with, uh, Dan Galloway

and didn't, uh... You didn't part as friends.

Well, Mr. Matlock, that was five years ago.

Ancient history. Yeah.

But then he invited you down here to do his show,

and humiliated you.

You'd think I'd know better, wouldn't you?

Well, I'd be the first to admit that Dan Galloway was a...

A jerk, yeah.

But I didn't kill him. Yeah.

Uh, what did you do, uh, after the taping was finished?

All I really wanted to do was get home.

So, I ran back to my motel.

I packed, checked out and drove back to Bakersfield.

I see.

Thanks again, Lisa. You've been great.

And good luck to you, Mr. Matlock. Thank you.

What'd she want?

She wanted to know about the possibility

of hosting Real Law.

Dan promised it to her.

It was gonna be her big comeback.

His way of making up for the past.

Well, that's interesting.

He promised the same job to Marla.

What's even more interesting is

I set the host for the show a month ago,

and Dan knew it.

Huh.

Three women who... You know what I think?

All personal friends of mine...

I think that button's got nothing to do with it.

Wait, wait.

Can you rewind that part right there?

Yeah, can-can you...

Can you slow it down?

Stop it.

That's it.

That's it.

It's the-the bracelet.

See?

Hey, look. Hmm?

$500 for a diary.

It's called an organizer, Ben.

Hmm.

It's made of ostrich. Oh.

Well, I wouldn't give $500 for the whole ostrich.

Yes, may I help you?

I hope so.

We're trying to track down this bracelet.

I'm sorry the photograph is grainy,

but it's a still taken from a videotape.

Do you recognize it?

Well, of course.

That's an Andrea Claggett design.

Uh, Ben. Oh.

Do you know if this button came from that bracelet?

Oh, no.

Andrea Claggett never uses a button of this type.

Well, are-are you sure?

There are a lot of buttons on that bracelet.

This button is brass.

Andrea Claggett uses only precious metals.

Thanks. Uh-huh.

Where you going?

I don't know.

I might go over to Katherine Randolph's.

You think... you think Leanne did drive

straight to Bakersfield after the taping?

I can sure try to find out. Yeah.

I'll meet you back in Jill's office?

About 3:00? 3:00.

So, anyway, after the show was finished,

I raced back here to re-write my column.

Do sit down.

Oh, thank you. Oh.

Hello?

She didn't!

Of course, you know, I had something else ready to go,

but after what happened...

No, no, no, I'm still here.

In public?

So-so-so-so, you were

a little late?

9:00-ish.

They were fighting?

Of course, you know, I did pop out for a bite to eat

around 7:00, but...

I don't believe it!

Uh, were you alone?

Yeah, Candy, could you hold on for just one moment?

You know, let's not mince words.

I mean, Dan Galloway...

Whoever murdered him did us a favor.

Well, you were awfully mad.

Throwing that vase at him on the show.

Oh, my dear, Galloway and I have been at it for years.

I mean, if what happened on Tuesday was reason to kill him,

he would've been dead long ago.

No, no, listen...

No, there's no time like the present, my darling.

I shall be there right away.

I'm so sorry.

I have to go.

Uh, oh.

Oh! Damn!

Oh. Oh.

Goodness. Mmm.

Oh.

Uh, no-no wonder.

No wonder. Look, look, look.

See? You're-you're missing a button.

Oh, well, it's always coming off.

Ah. Oh, look. Whoever knows where it is now.

Now, look.

Oh. See?

Wh-where did that come from?

Well, it's yours, isn't it yours?

No, no, no.

Mine's made of-of hand-carved teak.

That's not it.

Okay.

I'll show you to the elevator.

Oh, uh, all right.

Thank you.

How nice.

Well, our girl, Kathy Randolph,

was having a little quiet dinner alone

when, uh, Mr. Galloway was done in.

So, she doesn't have an alibi. Mmm.

Did you check out Leanne's motel?

Yes, but the manager was out with the flu

and no one else was authorized

to show me the checkout registry.

We'll subpoena that.

We've seen the show three times.

Why again?

Well, I don't know.

That Galloway fella never did anything

without a reason.

If he programmed something in that machine

at his dying moments,

there's something in there he wants somebody to see.

Oh, good, we're ready.

Now, if the tape was in that machine,

he was sitting about, oh, I'd guess, right here.

And then someone came through the door.

Would be somebody he knew, wasn't afraid of.

'Cause you don't turn your back on the enemy.

So, he was facing this way when he was hit.

The killer raised the ax.

You be the killer. You be the killer.

Okay. And now he...

She. She, yeah, she...

she hit him.

And he fell.

Police outline.

See? Okay, now,

the killer thought he was dead.

So, he...

She split, see?

And that's when he left a clue.

He...

got up and he...

programmed the keyboard.

And then he pulled the plug.

Now, can you...

Now, can you run the tape,

and stop it where he programmed it to stop.

Sure.

Kyle, next.

I'll be dogged.

Of course, that's it.

That's it.

But you gotta get down here.

You gotta get down on the floor.

Yeah, now.

We've been looking at this all wrong.

See, the picture has nothing to do with it.

It's the counter.

But...

the counter says three, three, seven.

How are you gonna prove it?

Leanne did it and we will prove it.

We've still got the button.

Of course, it didn't come off her bracelet.

And it doesn't match anything else she was wearing.

And we've seen the entire show three times.

Now, wait a minute.

We haven't seen the entire show.

They stop the show and then restart.

At least some of that would've been caught on the master.

But, uh, mmm, the stop and start

would've been edited from the copies that you saw.

Yeah. Yeah.

Well, that's good, you got it.

Now, can you rewind that and play it back for us?

Sure.

Stop.

There she is. See?

Wearing a jacket.

Now, can you... can you put up the other tape?

You bet.

And when you come to a place with Leanne stop it.

Judge on the appellate court.

- And finally, Leanne Wilson... - Yeah. Yeah.

Now there she isn't wearing a jacket.

See?

But it doesn't help us.

The buttons on that jacket still don't match the one we have.

We still don't have anything.

Oh, yes, we do.

Lisa, Leanne Wilson returning your call, line two.

Leanne, hi.

Look, the reason I'm calling

is the host that we set for Real Law isn't working out.

I was wondering if you would come in

and test for a replacement.

Tomorrow at 10:00.

Good.

Look, wear that red suit that you wore on the Galloway show,

you look great in it.

No, don't worry.

We'll correct the sound problem with the jacket.

Okay, great.

Bye-bye.

You're gonna have a good time.

Just relax and be yourself. Sure, I'm looking forward.

Oh, it'll be fine, everything's very laid back here.

Leanne, I think you know Ben Matlock.

Oh. He's agreed to play guest for us today.

Oh, hello, Mr...

Oh, oh! Oh, oh, I'm so...

Oh, I'm sorry!

Oh, oh, look, now. It's okay.

How awful, I got coffee...

No, it's all right. Oh...

Oh, I'm just making it worse.

No, no, it's all right. Really, I'm fine.

Did it burn you? No, no.

Oh, I'm just so sorry.

You know, I don't think it's gonna show on camera

but I insist that you let wardrobe clean it.

So, do you want to take it off, Leanne?

That's really nice of you, thank you.

Sorry, oh, I just. It's okay.

You sit down here on the left

and Ben, if you have a seat on the right.

Okay. Okay.

Now, this is just a rehearsal... Yeah.

So I want you to have fun with it.

Fun. All right.

That's it, we'll have fun.

Are you all right? I'm fine, I'm fine.

And I... You sure it didn't burn you?

I'm fine, it's fine, it's really fine.

Now, let's see.

You used to work with Dan Galloway.

Yes, we were talk show co-hosts in Bakersfield.

Yeah, and now, how long ago was that?

Five years.

Five years.

But he decided he wanted more

and despite the fact that you were both very successful,

you were not part of his plans.

Mr. Matlock, it's not unusual

for teams in this business to split up.

It happens all the time.

I guess it does, I guess it does.

But considering the fact

that you were both so equally successful,

it just seems rather odd, I mean,

uh, one goes on to fame and fortune

and the other is left behind.

Objection!

I fail to see the relevance.

Uh, Your Honor,

the history between this witness and the deceased

is critical to the foundation of the rest of my questioning.

I'll overrule for now.

Continue.

Thank you.

Uh, in fact,

uh, he actually undermined you, didn't he?

He portrayed you as temperamental

and with much less talent than, than he had

and then he walked out on you and while his career soared,

uh, you were reduced to making ends meet by planning weddings.

Isn't that true?

I'm very proud of what I do.

I'm very sure you are.

I'm very sure you are but, uh, a few weeks ago,

the phone rang and it was Dan Galloway

offering you a spot on his show

and you dropped everything and ran right down here.

Why?

What did he say to you?

He told me I'd be the perfect guest on a show he was planning.

After five years of silence and all he did to you?

Isn't it true that you agreed to be on his show

because he promised to give you the position of host

on a new talk show?

He did mention that.

Did he also mention that the position of host

had already been set

and that it had been offered to several other women?

No.

Yeah.

I have a signed affidavit right here

from Judge Marla Cordante...

which says that

he offered her that same position.

Dan Galloway

was a terrible man.

He was a world-class jerk.

He liked to play games with people's lives.

Any number would've wanted him dead,

but only one could've killed him.

And unfortunately for him or her,

he played one last game just before he died.

He left a clue.

Bailiff?

When Judge Cordante's picture appeared on the monitor

we thought he was trying to tell us

that she had killed him

but then we have to remember he was dying.

He was on the floor.

He was looking at the monitor upside down.

And when he pulled that plug,

this digital counter stopped at 337.

But if you look at it upside down,

the way he did,

it spells "L-E-E."

You see that, Leanne?

As you said, Dan was a jerk.

All this means is that he was trying to set me up again.

And besides, at the time he was killed,

I was already back in Bakersfield.

No.

Thank you.

You checked out of the motel at 6:00.

But you left your car in the motel garage

until almost 8:00.

That places you in Los Angeles

well within the time of the murder.

As a matter of fact, it places you at the scene of the crime,

and before you say I have no proof,

I'm gonna take a shot at it.

This button was found on the floor of the editing room

where Dan Galloway was killed.

I guess the police thought it wasn't important

and I didn't at first.

But you know, they vacuum that room every night

and just four days before the murder,

that room was recarpeted.

The old carpet was thrown away.

Somebody who owns this button

has to be involved in this whole thing.

Somebody. Objection!

Your Honor, I don't know how they try cases in Atlanta,

but this is the time for questioning the witness,

not for argument, so... Your Honor,

four days before the murder, the room was recarpeted.

The old carpeting and everything that was on it

was torn up and thrown away.

This button is evidence.

Objection overruled.

Continue, Mr. Matlock.

Thank you.

But it doesn't seem to belong to anybody.

It doesn't seem to come off anything.

It doesn't seem to have done anything.

When you came down, uh, to do the taping,

you were wearing a jacket but then when you actually

did the taping, you weren't wearing the jacket.

Some sort of sound problem.

I wore my red jacket.

It doesn't have any brass buttons,

Mr. Matlock.

Not on the outside.

But all double-breasted coats

have buttons on the inside

to make sure they hang right.

Now, your jacket was made by...

Francesca di Giovanni?

Right? Yes.

Bailiff?

Now, this is a rack of Miss Giovanni's jackets.

And as you can see,

the inside buttons are brass.

See?

Brass.

All brass.

Just like this button that was found on the floor

by Dan Galloway's body.

Now, you recognize this jacket, don't you?

It's yours, isn't it?

I remember spilling coffee on the sleeve the other day.

But your inside button doesn't match the brass buttons.

Your inside button is white, isn't it?

I lost the original button months ago.

I don't think so.

I think you lost this button

when you raised the axe to kill Dan Galloway.

No.

I distinctly remember I lost the button last October.

At a country club wedding reception that I planned.

Then why did you wait

till the day after Dan Galloway was killed

to take your coat

to the Forest Drycleaners in Bakersfield

and have them replace this button?

The cleaner's mark is still inside the jacket.

And we talked to the management.

Why did you wait

till the day after Dan Galloway was killed

to replace this button?

Can you answer that?

Would you like to retain an attorney?

Yes.

That's wise.

No further questions.

We find the defendant, Lisa Bateman, not guilty.

Court is adjourned.

Thank you!

And how you did it, I don't know.

Well, it wasn't easy.

Can I take you to dinner?

Oh, well, thanks but I guess I'm,

I guess I'm pretty much a home boy.

A home boy?

Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna go home, Atlanta, get a bite to eat,

maybe a hot dog all the way,

put on my green striped pajamas, go to bed.

Okay.

How about you?

Well, aside from the hot dog and the green striped pajamas,

I guess I'm pretty much a home girl.
