1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,731
I predict that Kathleen will win.
2
00:00:03,804 --> 00:00:05,897
[Woman]Tonight on Murder, She Wrote.
3
00:00:05,973 --> 00:00:08,533
The police found Bud's body
in my robe.
4
00:00:08,609 --> 00:00:11,908
We're absolutely clean on this.
Now trust me.
5
00:00:11,979 --> 00:00:14,573
We're also negotiating
with Bud's grieving widow.
6
00:00:14,648 --> 00:00:18,379
If she and her attorney
agree to the bucks, well,
she gets first crack.
7
00:00:18,452 --> 00:00:20,716
Hey, I'm talking dinner here.
Maybe a chance to talk.
8
00:00:20,788 --> 00:00:23,780
He must have gone
from his room to mine naked.
9
00:00:23,857 --> 00:00:26,587
Surprised? Nothing about politics
surprises me.
10
00:00:26,660 --> 00:00:29,959
- Assume he had his own key.
- Jack, please!

12
00:01:19,313 --> 00:01:21,804
[Crowd Chattering][Gavel Banging]
13
00:01:21,882 --> 00:01:24,282
[Man On P.A.]Mr. Speaker, the 23rd Districtjoins...
14
00:01:24,351 --> 00:01:29,789
with the 18th and the 33rd districtsin unanimous support for the candidate.
15
00:01:30,858 --> 00:01:34,157
[Man #2]Mr. Speaker, the Union of FederatedOffice Workers...
16
00:01:34,228 --> 00:01:36,219
submit the name of the only candidate...
17
00:01:36,296 --> 00:01:39,925
that has the full supportof the upstate minorities.
18
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,492
Aproven leader,and can deliver the votes-
19
00:01:43,570 --> 00:01:46,164
[Gavel Banging]To gain victory-
20
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,674
If my opponent can't find a way...
21
00:01:48,742 --> 00:01:52,508
to pay back the $600,000 he owes
from his last campaign,
22
00:01:52,579 --> 00:01:56,675
then how can the voters
expect him to do anything
about the federal budget?
23
00:01:56,750 --> 00:02:01,278
Well, I certainly wish
I had a millionaire spouse
like Mrs. Lane here.
24
00:02:02,356 --> 00:02:06,292
Uh, perhaps the fairness doctrine
would allow your husband
to help repay my debts.
25
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,988
After all, we're from the same party.
[Chuckles]
26
00:02:09,062 --> 00:02:13,226
[Man, Indistinct]
Why does she have to take
all these cheap shots,
27
00:02:13,300 --> 00:02:15,996
just because I've got a few bucks?
28
00:02:16,069 --> 00:02:19,732
Jackson, you ought to come
out on the road with us more often.
You get used to it.
29
00:02:19,806 --> 00:02:23,242
Drelinger has read that same bad joke
on the past four TV appearances.
30
00:02:23,310 --> 00:02:25,278
"After all, we're from the same party."
31
00:02:25,345 --> 00:02:29,372
Complete with the "ha, ha, ha's."
The man's on the threshold
of senility.
32
00:02:29,449 --> 00:02:32,976
Well, the "ha, ha, ha's"
must be working.
33
00:02:33,053 --> 00:02:37,319
My man still leads Kathleen
by 10 points in the polls.
34
00:02:37,391 --> 00:02:40,155
Kathleen is closing the gap
and you know it.
35
00:02:40,227 --> 00:02:43,162
You ought to get your old boy
some new ad libs, Butterfield.
36
00:02:43,230 --> 00:02:45,858
Yeah, and some fresh
three-by-five cards.
37
00:02:45,933 --> 00:02:48,333
Well, in the few moments
that we have left-
38
00:02:48,402 --> 00:02:51,337
Mrs. Lane, this morning's
Daily Post alleges...
39
00:02:51,405 --> 00:02:54,966
that you and Bud Johnson,
your campaign manager,
were becoming-
40
00:02:55,042 --> 00:02:57,408
Well, how should I put it?
Involved.
41
00:02:57,477 --> 00:02:59,468
I don't believe this.
Bud Johnson's onlyinvolvement with me...
42
00:02:59,546 --> 00:03:01,980
is managing my campaign.
43
00:03:02,049 --> 00:03:04,540
Anything beyond that
is merely malicious gossip.
44
00:03:04,618 --> 00:03:07,815
So you're denying
that the relationship is romantic?
45
00:03:07,888 --> 00:03:11,688
Yes, my campaign director and I
were dancing together last night-
46
00:03:11,758 --> 00:03:15,353
in front of a thousand votersat the Italian-American block party.
47
00:03:15,429 --> 00:03:17,397
The Post calls it a romance.
48
00:03:17,464 --> 00:03:19,398
I call it the Tarantella.
49
00:03:19,466 --> 00:03:21,593
All right.
She's on a roll now.
50
00:03:21,668 --> 00:03:23,966
I'm gonna try and answer
some of these calls.
51
00:03:25,339 --> 00:03:28,467
The few hours my campaign
allows me to sleep...
52
00:03:28,542 --> 00:03:32,535
I sleep with my husband-
when he can get out
on the stump with me.
53
00:03:32,613 --> 00:03:34,911
There have been persistent rumors.
54
00:03:34,982 --> 00:03:38,110
Mr. Hall, I don't want
to talk about rumors.
It demeans both our professions.
55
00:03:38,185 --> 00:03:41,154
But five years ago,
when you were mayor
of your home town,
56
00:03:41,221 --> 00:03:46,591
stories persisted that you had an affair
with a married man.
Forgive me, Mr. Hall.
57
00:03:46,660 --> 00:03:51,063
What should be put to bed
in this campaign is gossip, not me.
##[Orchestra]
58
00:03:51,131 --> 00:03:54,794
Well, I'm sorry.
I see that's all the time
we have for Face the Issues.
59
00:03:54,868 --> 00:03:57,735
- I want to thank both candidates.
- Thank you, Edmund.
60
00:03:57,804 --> 00:04:00,432
And I for one am certainly willing
to overlook and forget...
61
00:04:00,507 --> 00:04:02,566
any of Mrs. Lane's
past indiscretions.
62
00:04:02,643 --> 00:04:05,635
This is Edmund Hall.
Have a pleasant Sunday.
63
00:04:07,948 --> 00:04:10,348
Cass? Bud.
[Woman]
Bud. Thank God.
64
00:04:10,417 --> 00:04:12,647
Sounds like trouble.
You bet.
65
00:04:12,719 --> 00:04:14,880
- Harold just quit.
- What?
66
00:04:14,955 --> 00:04:18,288
We spent eight weeks wining and dining
the best speech writer in the country-
67
00:04:18,358 --> 00:04:20,451
Man, that really leaves me
hanging out to dry.
68
00:04:20,527 --> 00:04:24,156
Well, I'm working on some alternatives.
Good. Good.
Keep on it.
69
00:04:24,231 --> 00:04:26,699
Listen, Cass, uh, I just spoke
with Gracie,
70
00:04:26,767 --> 00:04:29,998
and she's gonna stay up at the farm
with the kids for a couple of weeks.
71
00:04:30,070 --> 00:04:33,665
Bud, don't start. Okay?
72
00:04:33,740 --> 00:04:36,300
Hey, I'm talking dinner.
Maybe a chance to talk.
73
00:04:36,376 --> 00:04:39,539
Bud, you're a nice guy,
but I'm talked out.
74
00:04:39,613 --> 00:04:42,810
Now, what was, was.
Now let it alone.
75
00:04:42,883 --> 00:04:45,317
[Clicks, Dial Tone]
76
00:04:46,386 --> 00:04:48,980
Kathleen! You were wonderful.
77
00:04:50,891 --> 00:04:54,486
Ohh. Bud was right.
I should have known better.
78
00:04:54,561 --> 00:04:57,655
I try to deal with issues,
and that muck-raking gossip hound-
79
00:04:57,731 --> 00:05:01,064
All he cares about is-
Somebody call me?
80
00:05:01,134 --> 00:05:04,262
Oh, yes. Uh, you're
supposed to be impartial.
81
00:05:04,338 --> 00:05:07,865
You cut Kathleen off just when
she was about to nail Drelinger.
82
00:05:07,941 --> 00:05:11,672
It's a half-hour show.
I can't spill over
into Pro Bowling Highlights.
83
00:05:11,745 --> 00:05:16,239
Oh, Edmund, other than
the blow dry and some makeup,
84
00:05:16,316 --> 00:05:19,581
just what are your qualificationsto be a newsman?
85
00:05:19,653 --> 00:05:23,054
She danced with the mayor last night-
with half of the city council.
86
00:05:23,123 --> 00:05:27,856
- Is she fooling around with them too?
- Just be glad I'm focusing
on your wife and not you.
87
00:05:27,928 --> 00:05:31,796
The Post is siftingthrough your back taxes,but did I bring it up?
88
00:05:31,865 --> 00:05:34,459
If you're looking for old news,
dig up Watergate.
89
00:05:34,534 --> 00:05:36,866
I paid every penny back.
It's on the record.
90
00:05:36,937 --> 00:05:39,701
That's wonderful, Edmund.
[Laughs]
91
00:05:39,773 --> 00:05:41,764
You've just handed me
the winning issue.
92
00:05:41,842 --> 00:05:46,142
I'm going to appeal to every voter
who's ever been audited by the I.R.S.
93
00:05:46,213 --> 00:05:48,477
Ah! It'll be a landslide.
94
00:05:48,548 --> 00:05:51,142
[Chuckles]
I'll say one thing, Kathleen.
95
00:05:51,218 --> 00:05:53,448
You kiss a lot better
than Arthur Drelinger.
96
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,647
[Both Chuckle]
97
00:05:55,722 --> 00:05:59,488
Kate, if you don't mind,
I want to get back to the house.
98
00:05:59,559 --> 00:06:02,255
I want to look at those
condominium estimates tonight.
99
00:06:02,329 --> 00:06:04,923
Well, I wouldn't be
very good company anyway.
100
00:06:04,998 --> 00:06:08,559
We will see you this weekend
in, uh- in, uh-
101
00:06:08,635 --> 00:06:10,569
Bud! Help.
102
00:06:12,005 --> 00:06:14,997
Where will this wandering caravan
be on Saturday?
103
00:06:15,075 --> 00:06:17,873
Uh, let's see.
Lacentra and, uh,
104
00:06:19,379 --> 00:06:21,438
Holiday Township
and Forest Heights.
105
00:06:21,515 --> 00:06:23,642
'Course, that's justSaturday morning.
106
00:06:23,717 --> 00:06:26,982
Listen, there's a glitch with Harold.
I've gotta run and try
and iron it out.
107
00:06:27,053 --> 00:06:29,453
I'll see you back at the hotel,
all right?
108
00:06:29,523 --> 00:06:33,459
Well, I showed you
the great capitals of Europe.
109
00:06:33,527 --> 00:06:37,827
You can show me
the motel capitals of middle America.
110
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,334
[Footsteps]
111
00:06:43,703 --> 00:06:46,763
You people have Hall on your payroll,
or does he just have
a garbage fetish?
112
00:06:46,840 --> 00:06:48,831
Guy is just doin' his job.
113
00:06:48,909 --> 00:06:52,003
Anyway, Kathleen can't overcome
Drelinger's lead.
114
00:06:52,078 --> 00:06:56,515
Bright girl like you,
top 10% of her class at Pendleton-
115
00:06:56,583 --> 00:06:59,143
You of all people should be able
to do the arithmetic.
116
00:06:59,219 --> 00:07:01,187
Ooh. What adds up
in this voter profile...
117
00:07:01,254 --> 00:07:05,122
is that you're falling way behind
among working women and blacks.
118
00:07:06,493 --> 00:07:10,259
When our guy clobbers Kathleen-
and he will-
119
00:07:10,330 --> 00:07:13,322
we're gonna be taking on
some extra staffers
for the main event.
120
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:18,861
Does that mean that you'll be looking
for a highly visible and bright
working black female?
121
00:07:18,939 --> 00:07:21,134
What do you think Kathleen
took you on for, sweetheart?
122
00:07:21,208 --> 00:07:23,039
I can't imagine.
123
00:07:28,682 --> 00:07:31,742
Well, Butterfield.
How do you score the debate?
124
00:07:31,818 --> 00:07:34,548
On balance, I'd say
you came off best.
125
00:07:34,621 --> 00:07:38,284
[Chuckles]
Did you ever thinkof going into politics?
126
00:07:38,358 --> 00:07:41,623
Uh, look. This is strictly on background,
127
00:07:41,695 --> 00:07:46,394
but somebody fed that story
to the Post about Kathleen
and Bud Johnson.
128
00:07:47,467 --> 00:07:51,426
The Drelinger camp
would never smear an opponent.
129
00:07:53,039 --> 00:07:55,132
Look, Kathleen Lane is news.
130
00:07:55,208 --> 00:07:58,302
Right now the only story I've got,
besides those rumors
about her love life,
131
00:07:58,378 --> 00:08:01,074
is how she's closing the gap
on Drelinger.
132
00:08:01,147 --> 00:08:05,584
Now, if you guys have got something,
and you give it to me
instead of the Post-
133
00:08:05,652 --> 00:08:10,089
Well, all I can say is, my sources
are always confidential.
134
00:08:10,156 --> 00:08:12,590
Well, like I said,
we don't deal in dirty tricks-
135
00:08:12,659 --> 00:08:16,220
it smacks of bad sportsmanship-
but we are doing some research.
136
00:08:16,296 --> 00:08:18,526
If something newsworthy does turn up,
you might get a call.
137
00:08:18,598 --> 00:08:20,759
Just make sure I get it first.
138
00:08:20,834 --> 00:08:24,770
If any headline material does turn up-
and I'm not saying it will-
139
00:08:24,838 --> 00:08:27,204
it would come
from some anonymous source.
140
00:08:27,274 --> 00:08:30,141
- Understood?
- Perfectly.
141
00:08:39,686 --> 00:08:42,951
[Jessica]Uh, Fletcher,J.B., Mrs.
142
00:08:44,524 --> 00:08:47,288
I'm sorry.
The computer does not recognize you.
143
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,818
When do you say you made
this alleged reservation?
144
00:08:50,897 --> 00:08:53,991
I made it last night in Chicago, but-
You should have
a confirmation number.
145
00:08:54,067 --> 00:08:57,298
Every reservation
has a confirmation number.
146
00:08:57,370 --> 00:08:59,463
Yes, well, I told you,
I didn't make it personally.
147
00:08:59,539 --> 00:09:01,564
It was arranged-
[Kathleen]
Jessica?
148
00:09:01,641 --> 00:09:03,905
Oh, Kathleen. Thank heavens.
[Laughing]
149
00:09:03,977 --> 00:09:06,309
Oh! You look absolutely wonderful.
150
00:09:06,379 --> 00:09:08,313
Well, so do you.
151
00:09:08,381 --> 00:09:11,350
I'll look better
after I've checked in
and got into a hot tub-
152
00:09:11,418 --> 00:09:15,286
if they can find a tub
for me to climb into.
Is there a problem?
153
00:09:15,355 --> 00:09:18,256
Well, they seem to have
lost the reservation
that you made for me.
154
00:09:18,325 --> 00:09:20,919
Good Lord.
I told Bud to make that personally.
155
00:09:20,994 --> 00:09:23,758
Excuse me, uh, Preston?
156
00:09:23,830 --> 00:09:26,765
There seems to be some sortof mix-up.
157
00:09:26,833 --> 00:09:29,028
I would very much appreciate it
if you could arrange...
158
00:09:29,102 --> 00:09:31,832
to put Mrs. Fletcher in a room
as close to mine as possible.
159
00:09:31,905 --> 00:09:34,931
Of course-
if there's anything available.
160
00:09:35,008 --> 00:09:37,203
And you are?
161
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,745
It's been almost four months,
and I'm still "Mrs. Anonymous."
162
00:09:43,817 --> 00:09:46,251
Well, I thought you were
coming up in the polls.
163
00:09:46,319 --> 00:09:49,288
Oh, I am, but this is only the primary.
164
00:09:49,356 --> 00:09:52,154
The fact is, if it isn't
a presidential election,
165
00:09:52,225 --> 00:09:55,388
the public interest is on a par
with Saturday night wrestling.
166
00:09:55,462 --> 00:09:58,431
Mmm.
Frankly, if it wasn'tfor all of the money...
167
00:09:58,498 --> 00:10:00,625
thatJackson's poured
into my candidacy,
168
00:10:00,700 --> 00:10:03,999
I'd still be a total nobody,
instead of a relative unknown.
169
00:10:04,070 --> 00:10:06,265
That sounds awfully cynical.
170
00:10:06,339 --> 00:10:08,307
I hadn't realized...
[Sighs]
171
00:10:08,375 --> 00:10:10,935
What a big fishbowl I'd be living in.
172
00:10:11,011 --> 00:10:14,378
The press has been having a field day
digging into my personal life.
173
00:10:14,447 --> 00:10:18,440
Notjust mine, butJackson's too.Anything for a story.
174
00:10:18,518 --> 00:10:20,884
The less it has to do
with the issues, the better.
175
00:10:20,954 --> 00:10:25,891
Speaking of the issues,
I was delighted when you asked me
to come here and speak for you.
176
00:10:25,959 --> 00:10:28,985
You know, your programon environmental cleanup...
177
00:10:29,062 --> 00:10:31,360
is something
that I can really get behind.
178
00:10:31,431 --> 00:10:33,991
I have another little problem.
179
00:10:34,067 --> 00:10:36,797
My head writer quit on me
this morning,
180
00:10:36,870 --> 00:10:39,668
and this Friday I am makingmy most important address...
181
00:10:39,739 --> 00:10:42,606
to the state party leaders,right here in the capital.
182
00:10:42,676 --> 00:10:46,339
And it isn't enough that I find a writer
who understands my position
on the issues.
183
00:10:46,413 --> 00:10:48,973
I need somebody who knows me-
184
00:10:49,049 --> 00:10:51,745
who- who won'tjust beputting words into my mouth.
185
00:10:51,818 --> 00:10:55,914
- Oh, no.
- Oh, please, Jess.
186
00:10:58,258 --> 00:11:01,455
Look, Kathleen,
if you give me a good juicy murder
and a few suspects,
187
00:11:01,528 --> 00:11:04,895
my imagination will swing
into high gear.
188
00:11:04,964 --> 00:11:06,955
But, uh, speechifying?
189
00:11:07,033 --> 00:11:09,126
I'm not sure that I could write
on a soapbox.
190
00:11:09,202 --> 00:11:12,501
But that's exactly why I need you.
You can write so movingly.
191

You won't make me sound likean oracle on Mt. Olympus.
192
00:11:16,710 --> 00:11:19,474
This morning I tried to ad lib a speech,
193
00:11:19,546 --> 00:11:23,778
and almost guaranteed a group
of foreign war veterans
maternity leave.
194
00:11:26,386 --> 00:11:28,980
Sure, you're laughing,
but I'm desperate.
195
00:11:29,055 --> 00:11:31,455
Unless you pick up an oar
and start to paddle,
196
00:11:31,524 --> 00:11:33,583
I'm afraid I'm going to have
to jump this ship.
197
00:11:33,660 --> 00:11:35,855
Well, we can't have that.
198
00:11:35,929 --> 00:11:37,863
All right.
199
00:11:37,931 --> 00:11:41,526

of this piece so far.

00:13:30,043 --> 00:13:31,977
Good. It's good.
219
00:13:32,045 --> 00:13:35,105
Though you might want
to soft pedal this reference
to day care for working mothers.
220
00:13:35,181 --> 00:13:38,241
But in a speech Kathleen gave last week,
she came out for day care.
221
00:13:38,318 --> 00:13:40,252
Yeah, well, that was at a day care center.
222
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,255
The speech you're working on
is for a couple hundred ladies
at a country club,
223
00:13:43,323 --> 00:13:45,257
and they already have day care.
224
00:13:45,325 --> 00:13:47,259
- They call her the maid.
- [Laughs]
225
00:13:47,327 --> 00:13:51,764
How does Kathleen feel about day care?
I mean, really feel?
226
00:13:51,831 --> 00:13:54,391
Beats me. I never asked her.
227
00:13:55,735 --> 00:13:59,000
Hi, guys. Just left Kathleen
at the senior citizens' center.
228
00:13:59,072 --> 00:14:01,768
And did she come out for long life?

231
00:14:09,649 --> 00:14:12,743
He wanted to see her.
She said she was gonna drive
out to his house.

Maybe he's gonna dropthe other shoeand come out for her.

Maybe he's gonna drop
the other shoe on her

No.
Did you see
the 11:00 news tonight?
258
00:16:13,506 --> 00:16:17,442
No, but my associate, Cass Malone,
told me about those ridiculous photographs.
259
00:16:17,510 --> 00:16:21,276
The way I see it,
if he saw those photographs
on the news,
260
00:16:21,347 --> 00:16:23,315
he knew he had finished your chances.
261

Lieutenant, we weren't lovers.
No?

00:16:26,285 --> 00:16:29,812
- Then how come he jumped
from your balcony?
- Well, that's impossible.

Lieutenant, where did you
find that bracelet?

00:16:40,900 --> 00:16:43,801
In the pocket of the robe
the victim was wearing.
268
00:16:43,870 --> 00:16:46,304

but when he landed,
he was wearing your robe.

One of your men said
I'd find you here.

00:18:25,438 --> 00:18:28,236
Lieutenant, I think you should
have a word with your fingerprint man.

00:18:28,307 --> 00:18:30,434
- What's he turned up?
- Nothing.
298
00:18:30,510 --> 00:18:32,375
Well, what I mean is,
299
00:18:32,445 --> 00:18:35,346
he didn't find any prints
on the door handle
leading to the balcony.
300
00:18:35,414 --> 00:18:39,942
- So?
- Well, a man doesn't go
out on a balcony to end it all...
301
00:18:40,019 --> 00:18:43,546
and wipe his prints off the handle first.
302
00:18:45,158 --> 00:18:49,151
No. I won't give a statement to the paper
until the facts are sorted out.
303
00:18:50,496 --> 00:18:54,865
Mrs. Lane?
We just got these on loan
from Channel 8.
304
00:18:59,705 --> 00:19:02,765
It doesn't take a detective
to figure out who stands to gain
from this, Lieutenant.
305
00:19:02,842 --> 00:19:05,572
So you and Johnson
weren't at the lake together?
306
00:19:05,645 --> 00:19:07,613
We were there.
What are you saying?
307
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:09,944
Are you saying
these are doctored? Faked?
308
00:19:10,016 --> 00:19:13,417
Those pictures are really
perfectly innocent.
309
00:19:13,486 --> 00:19:17,388
Look, ma'am, we figurehe fell between 10:45and that news broadcast.
310
00:19:17,456 --> 00:19:20,220
Maybe even just after
these pictures were aired.
311
00:19:20,293 --> 00:19:23,820
- Where were you tonight?
- Me? Well, l-

Mrs. Fletcher, you said
that you were her speech writer.
314
00:19:31,637 --> 00:19:33,605
Are you also her spokesperson?
315
00:19:33,673 --> 00:19:36,267
Lieutenant, I did go out there.
316
00:19:36,342 --> 00:19:38,606
Actually, I didn't meet with him.
317
00:19:38,678 --> 00:19:41,112
The message I got
must have been fouled up.
318
00:19:41,180 --> 00:19:45,082
I arrived there about 10:30.
I rang the doorbell.
Nobody answered.
319
00:19:45,151 --> 00:19:48,416
So I climbed back into my car,waited about a half an hour,
320
00:19:48,487 --> 00:19:51,684
and then I droveback into town.
Did anybody see you?
321
00:19:51,757 --> 00:19:54,123
Yes. I told you, the parking valet.
322
00:19:54,193 --> 00:19:57,458
When I pulled up outside,
Bud's body had just been discovered.
323
00:19:57,530 --> 00:20:01,796
Oh. Well, who is to say
that you didn't return
to the hotel earlier?
324
00:20:01,867 --> 00:20:05,098
I'm to say.
The hotel has my new room number.
325
00:20:05,171 --> 00:20:08,140
Kathleen, shall I go with you?
Oh, no, Jess. I'll be all right.
326
00:20:08,207 --> 00:20:10,334
Jackson's driving in.
327
00:20:22,922 --> 00:20:25,482
These letters and numbers
mean anything to anybody?
328
00:20:25,558 --> 00:20:28,493
"A.D. 53/K.L. 46."
329
00:20:28,561 --> 00:20:31,894
Would seem to be a poll
of some sort. Nan?
330
00:20:31,964 --> 00:20:35,627
That's right.
They're preliminary figures
from a survey conducted this afternoon.
331
00:20:35,701 --> 00:20:38,499
Did you give this to Mrs. Lane
or the victim?
No.
332
00:20:38,571 --> 00:20:42,337
Oh. What I mean is,
they were phoned in to me
at 10:00,
333
00:20:42,408 --> 00:20:45,343
and I brought them right over,
but Kathleen wasn't back yet.
334
00:20:45,411 --> 00:20:49,040
At least, nobody answered
when I knocked.
So I slipped them under the door.
335
00:20:49,115 --> 00:20:51,083
Oh. How odd.
336
00:20:51,150 --> 00:20:53,084
And nobody answered?
337
00:20:53,152 --> 00:20:55,143
Maybe somebody
didn't want to be disturbed.
338
00:20:55,221 --> 00:20:58,156
I was wondering how they got
onto this table.
339
00:21:00,226 --> 00:21:04,287
Sure. Bud and I went for a swim.
It was totally innocent.
340
00:21:04,363 --> 00:21:06,797
Kathleen.
341
00:21:06,866 --> 00:21:11,132
We've always leveled with each other.
I'm only gonna ask you once.
342
00:21:11,203 --> 00:21:14,570
Jack, I swear. L-
Please, let me finish.
343
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:20,044
It's no secret.
Bud gave his hotel room keys
to every woman... but his wife.
344
00:21:20,112 --> 00:21:23,775
Jack, we weren't having an affair.
345
00:21:23,849 --> 00:21:25,783
I promise you.
346
00:21:25,851 --> 00:21:28,684
That's all I wanted to hear.
347
00:21:28,754 --> 00:21:31,314
Those photographs
of Bud and I hugging-
348
00:21:31,390 --> 00:21:36,123
I'd just beat him at Ping-Pong.
He actually started to pout.
349
00:21:36,195 --> 00:21:39,028
I just felt sorry for him.
350
00:21:39,098 --> 00:21:40,963
What was the score?
351
00:21:41,033 --> 00:21:43,866
Twenty-one to three.
352
00:21:43,936 --> 00:21:47,030
[Chuckles]
You always have to win, don't you?
353
00:21:48,407 --> 00:21:50,432
I'm not so sure
I'm gonna win this one.
354
00:21:51,744 --> 00:21:53,678
You've done nothing wrong.
355
00:21:53,746 --> 00:21:56,306
Tomorrow you'll call a press conference,
deny everything.
356
00:21:57,416 --> 00:22:00,476
Let's go to bed,
get some sleep, huh?
357
00:22:04,657 --> 00:22:07,717
[Kathleen] Please.[Jackson]Quiet, please. Quiet.
358
00:22:07,793 --> 00:22:11,490
Please.You'll all have a chance.She has a statement to make.
359
00:22:11,564 --> 00:22:13,498
Ladies and gentlemen,
360
00:22:13,566 --> 00:22:16,034
I am prepared to make a statement.
361
00:22:16,102 --> 00:22:18,070
Please.
362
00:22:22,575 --> 00:22:25,408
Thank you.
363
00:22:26,479 --> 00:22:29,141
Bud and I were coworkers...
364
00:22:29,215 --> 00:22:31,649
and, yes, friends.
365
00:22:31,717 --> 00:22:34,447
But it never went
any further than that.
366
00:22:35,521 --> 00:22:38,081
I just wishthat he were alive now...
367
00:22:38,157 --> 00:22:42,651
to personally refute those charges
and those misleading photographs.
368
00:22:42,728 --> 00:22:45,595
Mrs. Lane, are you goingto stay in the race?
369
00:22:45,664 --> 00:22:49,532
My supporters- and my husband-
want me to stay and fight.
370
00:22:49,602 --> 00:22:52,298
I'm sure that's what Bud
would have wanted too.
371
00:22:52,371 --> 00:22:54,498
But most important,
372
00:22:54,573 --> 00:22:56,507
I want to carry on,
373
00:22:56,575 --> 00:22:59,544
and no amount of press pillory
can make me back out.
374
00:22:59,612 --> 00:23:01,546
[Woman]Mr. Lane?
375
00:23:01,614 --> 00:23:04,276
Is it true that you were
out of the country on the weekend...
376
00:23:04,350 --> 00:23:07,513
that Bud Johnson and your wife
spent the day at your summer cottage?
377
00:23:07,586 --> 00:23:10,282
I was away on business
in the Bahamas.
378
00:23:10,356 --> 00:23:15,293
Uh, but Kathleen told me
that they intended to work there.
379
00:23:15,361 --> 00:23:18,626
Uh, Miss Brown,
380
00:23:18,697 --> 00:23:22,360
I have total confidence
in my wife's fidelity.
381
00:23:22,435 --> 00:23:24,665
Score one for the home team.
382
00:23:24,737 --> 00:23:26,830
Thank you.
383
00:23:26,906 --> 00:23:28,931
I would just like to add-
384
00:23:29,008 --> 00:23:31,806
My wife started out
a dark horse,
385
00:23:31,877 --> 00:23:34,641
some 20 points
behind Drelinger.
386
00:23:34,713 --> 00:23:38,308
Now she's closed
to only seven points behind.
387
00:23:38,384 --> 00:23:43,378
I predict that Kathleen will win,
come primary day.
388
00:23:50,629 --> 00:23:54,588
Mrs. Lane, who do you thinktook those pictures?
389
00:23:54,667 --> 00:23:57,397
Who do you think
has the most to gain?
390
00:23:57,470 --> 00:24:00,098
Are you implying
Drelinger's people are behind it?
391
00:24:00,172 --> 00:24:03,107
You said that, Harry. I didn't.
392
00:24:03,175 --> 00:24:07,077
Mr. Hall, suppose you tell usand your colleagues...
393
00:24:07,146 --> 00:24:11,310
just how you got those pictures.
394
00:24:11,383 --> 00:24:16,377
There are shield laws in this state,
and I'm prepared to go to jail
to protect my sources.
395
00:24:16,455 --> 00:24:19,788
Mrs. Lane, first the police saidit was suicide.
396
00:24:19,859 --> 00:24:23,022
Now the word from headquarters
is a loud and clear "no comment."
397
00:24:23,095 --> 00:24:26,462
- Would you care to comment?
- You know as much as I do, Mr. Hall.
398
00:24:26,532 --> 00:24:30,195
You told the police that you were
away from the hotel...
399
00:24:30,269 --> 00:24:32,533
when Bud Johnson died.
That's true.
400
00:24:32,605 --> 00:24:35,699
Then if you weren't thereto let him into your room,
401
00:24:35,774 --> 00:24:37,765
I assume he had his own key.
402
00:24:37,843 --> 00:24:39,640
Jack, please!
[Man]
Mr. Lane!
403
00:24:39,712 --> 00:24:42,476
[Clamoring]
404
00:24:42,548 --> 00:24:45,210
Hold it, hold it, hold it.
405
00:24:50,556 --> 00:24:52,990
[Lieutenant]Yeah, it's murder,and yeah, I think she did it,
406
00:24:53,058 --> 00:24:54,992
but proving it-
407
00:24:56,061 --> 00:24:58,120
I'm not so sure about that.
408
00:24:58,197 --> 00:25:02,827
Meanwhile, she's being convicted
on the front page of every
newspaper in this state.
409
00:25:02,902 --> 00:25:06,463
Hey, she's news.
Nobody asked her to run.
410
00:25:08,207 --> 00:25:10,471
You sure you don't want
some coffee, Mrs. Fletcher?
411
00:25:10,543 --> 00:25:13,341
- I know it looks lousy, but-
- Oh, no. No, no, no, thank you.
412
00:25:13,412 --> 00:25:16,973
Lieutenant-
The thing is, this case has
a lot of loose ends,
413
00:25:17,049 --> 00:25:20,985
and the D.A.'s the kind of a guy
who likes his packages
wrapped up nice and neat.
414
00:25:21,053 --> 00:25:24,113
You know what I mean?
What you mean is,
that this case...
415
00:25:24,189 --> 00:25:26,623
may never come to trial.
You could say that.
416
00:25:26,692 --> 00:25:29,525
While Kathleen Lane
tries to run for office...
417
00:25:29,595 --> 00:25:32,462
with this cloud of suspicion
hanging over her head.
418
00:25:32,531 --> 00:25:34,761
Well, it's better than being
tried and convicted.
419
00:25:34,833 --> 00:25:39,202
Have you considered
that somebody else
may have killed Mr. Johnson...
420
00:25:39,271 --> 00:25:43,799
and framed Mrs. Lane
for the express purpose
of destroying her candidacy?
421
00:25:43,876 --> 00:25:45,867
It's crossed my mind.
422
00:25:45,945 --> 00:25:49,176
Well, next time it starts crossing,
Lieutenant,
423
00:25:49,248 --> 00:25:51,341
please stop it halfway...
424
00:25:51,417 --> 00:25:54,045
and give it some attention.
425
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,610
I have known this woman for 17 years,
and believe me,
426
00:25:56,689 --> 00:25:58,816
she is incapable of deceit
or subterfuge,
427
00:25:58,891 --> 00:26:01,758
and she is also incapable
of committing murder.
428
00:26:01,827 --> 00:26:06,196
Sure, she's a friend.
I understand.
Oh, it's much more than that.
429
00:26:06,265 --> 00:26:09,530
She's innocent,
and she's not gonna spend
the rest of her life-
430
00:26:09,602 --> 00:26:13,060
political or not-
with people whispering
behind her back that she's a killer.
431
00:26:13,138 --> 00:26:16,266
Not if I have anything to say about it.
Excuse me.
432
00:26:30,856 --> 00:26:32,881
Thank you.
433
00:26:41,667 --> 00:26:43,601
Oh, Mrs. Fletcher.
434
00:26:43,669 --> 00:26:45,603
Edmund Hall, Channel 8.
435
00:26:45,671 --> 00:26:48,731
Yes. News at 6:00 and 11:00.
[Chuckles]
436
00:26:48,807 --> 00:26:52,140
I'm sure your broadcast tonight
will be quite lively,
437
00:26:52,211 --> 00:26:55,146
since you managed to provoke
Jackson Lane into a near brawl.
[Laughs]
438
00:26:55,214 --> 00:26:58,479
How are you planning to lead off?
With a hook or a jab?
439
00:26:58,550 --> 00:27:01,849
If you're in town Sunday,
tune in Face the Issues.
440
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:03,888
That's my foray into public service.
441
00:27:03,956 --> 00:27:06,117
And news at 6:00 and 11:00 isn't?
442
00:27:06,191 --> 00:27:08,125
Well, my Sunday show's
not hard news.
443
00:27:08,193 --> 00:27:10,127
We have on scholars, intellectuals.
444
00:27:10,195 --> 00:27:13,426
That's nice. Excuse me, Mr. Hall.
445
00:27:13,499 --> 00:27:16,263
Look. If you happen to have
a new book out,
446
00:27:16,335 --> 00:27:18,360
I'd love to have you
on the show-
447
00:27:18,437 --> 00:27:20,871
Unless you're opposed
to tooting your own horn.
448
00:27:20,939 --> 00:27:23,271
Oh, I don't mind
selling books, Mr. Hall.
449
00:27:23,342 --> 00:27:26,277
You could even say a few words
about Kathleen Lane.
450
00:27:26,345 --> 00:27:29,678
The longtime-friend angle
always intrigues the electorate.
451
00:27:29,748 --> 00:27:32,945
Something personal that she
might have mentioned to me?
452
00:27:33,018 --> 00:27:35,612
Like the identity of that doctor...
453
00:27:35,688 --> 00:27:39,124
that she was supposed to be seeing
while she was the mayor?
454
00:27:39,191 --> 00:27:43,651
Well, the public loves a peek
into a candidate's personal file.
455
00:27:43,729 --> 00:27:47,392
You know, at times it seems
that's all they are interested in.
456
00:27:47,466 --> 00:27:51,459
Look, Mr. Hall,
I might-just might-
consider chatting with you...
457
00:27:51,537 --> 00:27:53,801
about my latest novel
and other matters...
458
00:27:53,872 --> 00:27:58,605
if you will tell me who gave you
those photographs.
459
00:27:59,878 --> 00:28:03,905
You're quite a horse trader,
Mrs. Fletcher.
[Chuckles]
460
00:28:03,982 --> 00:28:06,473
But the truth is, I don't know.
461
00:28:06,552 --> 00:28:08,486
Oh!
462
00:28:08,554 --> 00:28:12,354
That's why you claimed confidential source
and shield laws, et cetera.
463
00:28:12,424 --> 00:28:14,415
Well, I could hardly tell the truth.
464
00:28:14,493 --> 00:28:18,293
I'm supposed to gather news,
not have it left for me
in bus station lockers...
465
00:28:18,363 --> 00:28:20,593
by persons unknown.
"Unknown"?
466
00:28:20,666 --> 00:28:23,499
Doesn't the name Arthur Drelinger
spring to mind?
467
00:28:23,569 --> 00:28:25,764
All right, I'll level with you.
468
00:28:25,838 --> 00:28:28,170
C.W. Butterfield,
Drelinger's campaign manager,
469
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,174
has been beating around the bush.
470
00:28:30,242 --> 00:28:33,678
He said he might have somethingnewsworthy about Kathleen Lane.
471
00:28:33,746 --> 00:28:36,180
But I can't swear it was the photos.
472
00:28:36,248 --> 00:28:39,513
So do I count you in
for Face the Issues?
473
00:28:39,585 --> 00:28:43,851
I will think about it.
Well, don't think too long.
474
00:28:43,922 --> 00:28:46,891
We're also negotiating
with Bud's grieving widow.
475
00:28:46,959 --> 00:28:49,052
If she and her attorney
agree to the bucks-
476
00:28:49,128 --> 00:28:51,392
Well, she gets first crack,naturally.
477
00:28:51,463 --> 00:28:54,193
I'll wait to hear from you.
478
00:28:57,636 --> 00:29:01,902
I just can't believe that somebody
would murder Bud
just to win an election.
479
00:29:01,974 --> 00:29:04,306
Even more disturbing
is the fact...
480
00:29:04,376 --> 00:29:07,402
that they seem to have gone
to considerable trouble
to smear you.
481
00:29:07,479 --> 00:29:10,471
You know what I don't understand...
482
00:29:10,549 --> 00:29:13,518
is if Bud's clothes were in his room,
483
00:29:13,585 --> 00:29:16,247
and he was found dead
in my bathrobe,
484
00:29:16,321 --> 00:29:19,154
he must have gone
from his room to mine naked.
485
00:29:19,224 --> 00:29:22,591
No, I think it's more likely
that he was lured into your room,
486
00:29:22,661 --> 00:29:25,255
killed, and then
put into your robe.
487
00:29:25,330 --> 00:29:28,060
Then the murderertook Bud's clothes back to his room...
488
00:29:28,133 --> 00:29:32,467
using the key that I saw Lt. Gowans
take out of Bud's trousers pocket.
489
00:29:32,538 --> 00:29:35,006
Kathleen, I can't say...
490
00:29:35,073 --> 00:29:37,268
that his has any connection
with Bud's death,
491
00:29:37,342 --> 00:29:41,176
but Edmund Hall has been trying
to pump me about you...
492
00:29:41,246 --> 00:29:43,271
and that mysterious doctor.
493
00:29:43,348 --> 00:29:46,476
Hall is nothing more
than a Peeping Tom
with a hand mike.
494
00:29:48,187 --> 00:29:50,178
Kathleen.
495
00:29:51,190 --> 00:29:53,590
Is there something
that you haven't told me about?
496
00:29:53,659 --> 00:29:56,526
Anything at all?
No, of course not.
497
00:29:56,595 --> 00:29:59,462
Did you talk to the party chairman
about the meeting...
498
00:29:59,531 --> 00:30:01,829
that you were supposed to have
at his house?
499
00:30:01,900 --> 00:30:04,164
Yes. He said he never called me.
500
00:30:04,236 --> 00:30:06,966
Nan Wynn was the onewho told me he called.
501
00:30:07,039 --> 00:30:11,806
So someone called Nan Wynn
claiming to be the party chairman,
502
00:30:11,877 --> 00:30:14,971
luring you away from the hotel.
503
00:30:15,047 --> 00:30:17,982
Kathleen, where is Nan?
I don't know.
504
00:30:18,050 --> 00:30:20,484
I've been trying to reach her all day.
505
00:30:22,087 --> 00:30:25,181
Where are you going?What about my speech?
506
00:30:25,257 --> 00:30:27,316
Well, the speech can wait.
507
00:30:27,392 --> 00:30:32,386
Kathleen, I think it's high time
that somebody had a chat
with the source of your troubles.
508
00:30:32,464 --> 00:30:35,126
The issue in this campaign,
friends and neighbors,
509
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,134
is a simple one.
510
00:30:37,202 --> 00:30:41,104
Moral integrity, honesty,
a respect for justice...
511
00:30:41,173 --> 00:30:43,869
and a love
for the American way of life.
512
00:30:44,877 --> 00:30:48,506
C.W., there's
something wrong here.
What is it now, Arthur?
513
00:30:48,580 --> 00:30:50,571
Shouldn't that be "issues,"
not "issue"?
514
00:30:50,649 --> 00:30:53,846
I mean, here I am reading off
this laundry list of clich�s.
515
00:30:53,919 --> 00:30:57,320
No. " Simple, honesty,
respect for justice"-
516
00:30:57,389 --> 00:31:00,722
They're slogans, Arthur. Ideas.
517
00:31:00,792 --> 00:31:03,522
You want to say issues?Fine.
518
00:31:03,595 --> 00:31:07,292
Say issues.
Just try to make it sound sincere.
519
00:31:07,366 --> 00:31:10,824
And while you're at it,
don't blink your eyes so much.
It makes you look shifty-eyed.
520
00:31:12,437 --> 00:31:14,496
[Door Opens]
Well, if these lights weren't so bright-
521
00:31:14,573 --> 00:31:16,507
Leo, how's my make-up?
522
00:31:16,575 --> 00:31:19,066
I feel like I'm sweating.
Excuse me, sir.
523
00:31:19,144 --> 00:31:21,044
Yeah?
524
00:31:22,381 --> 00:31:24,645
Lieutenant Gowans- He's outside.
525
00:31:24,716 --> 00:31:27,378
Well, I already told him
we didn't slip those photos
to Channel 8.
526
00:31:27,452 --> 00:31:29,477
You want me to have him wait?
527
00:31:29,554 --> 00:31:31,852
Outside in the chief's anteroom?
528
00:31:31,924 --> 00:31:34,358
Oh, that's a terrific idea.No! Bring him inside.
529
00:31:34,426 --> 00:31:36,360
Okay, outside, everybody.
Five minutes.
530
00:31:36,428 --> 00:31:38,896
You're doing fine.
You're doing fine.
531
00:31:39,965 --> 00:31:41,899
C.W.
Yeah?
532
00:31:41,967 --> 00:31:46,461
If we did have anything to do with
those photographs Hall got ahold of,
I don't want to know about it.
533
00:31:46,538 --> 00:31:50,907
- Is that clear?
- Chief, we're absolutely clean on this.
534
00:31:50,976 --> 00:31:52,910
Now trust me.
535
00:31:54,613 --> 00:31:57,104
Gentlemen.
536
00:31:57,182 --> 00:32:00,310
Lieutenant.
So good to see you.
537
00:32:02,020 --> 00:32:04,011
Dreadful business,
this thing with Johnson.
538
00:32:04,089 --> 00:32:06,057
My heart goes out
to that poor woman.
539
00:32:06,124 --> 00:32:09,287
Hey, I just heard on the radio
that a new poll from the Daily Post...
540
00:32:09,361 --> 00:32:11,659
says Mrs. Lane just fell
12 points behind you.
541
00:32:11,730 --> 00:32:14,290
Well, you can't say you're surprised.
542
00:32:14,366 --> 00:32:17,460
Surprised? Nothing about politics
surprises me.
543
00:32:17,536 --> 00:32:20,096
If the lady self-destructs,
well, that's her lookout.
544
00:32:20,172 --> 00:32:23,005
I only get involved if she got a little help.
545
00:32:24,242 --> 00:32:27,575
L- I'm not quite sure I understand
that remark, Lieutenant.
546
00:32:27,646 --> 00:32:30,479
Well, let me just make it
very clear to you, sir.
547
00:32:30,549 --> 00:32:33,450
Were you and Mr. Butterfield here...
548
00:32:33,518 --> 00:32:36,976
between 10:00and 11:00 Monday night,when Johnson died?
549
00:32:37,055 --> 00:32:38,989
I think I resent that question.
550
00:32:39,057 --> 00:32:40,991
Chief, the lieutenant's
just doing his job,
551
00:32:41,059 --> 00:32:43,084
and obviously,neither one of us...
552
00:32:43,161 --> 00:32:45,152
has anything to hide.
553
00:32:45,230 --> 00:32:47,323
The fact is, Mr. Drelinger...
554
00:32:47,399 --> 00:32:49,492
was at the Onyx Lodgefrom 8:00 to 11:00.
555
00:32:49,568 --> 00:32:52,696
He was receivingthe Man of the Year Award,and, of course, I was there.
556
00:32:52,771 --> 00:32:54,705
11:00, huh?
557
00:32:54,773 --> 00:32:57,469
I heard it was 10:30 when you two left.
558
00:32:57,542 --> 00:33:00,602
I thought it was later than that.
We were in my car at 11:00...
559
00:33:00,679 --> 00:33:02,840
driving Mr. Drelinger
to his hotel.
560
00:33:02,914 --> 00:33:04,848
We stayed in your hotel room
until after 12:00.
561
00:33:04,916 --> 00:33:08,283
Wasn't that correct, Arthur?
Uh, yes. Uh, absolutely correct.
562
00:33:10,555 --> 00:33:12,785
Well, thank you.
563
00:33:13,859 --> 00:33:16,293
If I need anything else,
Mr. Butterfield,
I'll let you know.
564
00:33:16,361 --> 00:33:18,727
[Chuckles]
Of course.
Trust me.
565
00:33:23,368 --> 00:33:25,461
Mrs. Fletcher.
Lieutenant.
566
00:33:25,537 --> 00:33:29,473
That speech you made kind of got to me,
so I decided to work on those loose ends.
567
00:33:29,541 --> 00:33:33,033
And?
Nothing. Zip. Zero.
568
00:33:33,111 --> 00:33:35,739
Look, if you feel you can do any better,
please, be my guest.
569
00:33:39,785 --> 00:33:42,652
Mrs. Fletcher. What a surprise.
570
00:33:42,721 --> 00:33:46,248
I know you must be very busy,
but I wonder if you could spare
a few moments.
571
00:33:47,325 --> 00:33:49,691
Arthur, Jessica Fletcher-
572
00:33:49,761 --> 00:33:52,059
Kathleen Lane's new writer.
573
00:33:52,130 --> 00:33:54,098
The mystery novelist.
Yes, yes, of course.
574
00:33:54,166 --> 00:33:56,100
Mrs. Fletcher,
this is indeed a pleasure.
575
00:33:56,168 --> 00:33:58,693
Are you here with a messagefrom Kathleen?
576
00:33:58,770 --> 00:34:01,830
- Now if she's ready to bow out-
- "Bow out"?
577
00:34:01,907 --> 00:34:03,841
Oh, no. Nothing like that.
578
00:34:03,909 --> 00:34:07,902
I just wanted to satisfy my curiosity
about one or two small things.
579
00:34:07,979 --> 00:34:12,609
- Such as?
- Well, for starters, those photographs
that someone gave to Edmund Hall...
580
00:34:12,684 --> 00:34:14,845
of Kathleen and Bud Johnson.
581
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:18,788
[Chuckling]
We had nothing to do with that.
Really?
582
00:34:18,857 --> 00:34:21,587
I can't imagine why anyone
would want to sneak around...
583
00:34:21,660 --> 00:34:24,356
with a telephoto-lens camera,
584
00:34:24,429 --> 00:34:26,556
trying to shoot something-
585
00:34:26,631 --> 00:34:28,622
Well, shall we say compromising?
586
00:34:28,700 --> 00:34:31,294
And then slip it to Edmund Hall...
587
00:34:31,369 --> 00:34:36,068
unless they were deliberately trying
to smear Kathleen Lane.
588
00:34:36,141 --> 00:34:38,132
Mrs. Fletcher, I couldn't
agree with you more.
589
00:34:38,210 --> 00:34:41,407
That kind of backstairs journalism
is an insult to the people
we serve.
590
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:43,414
C.W., make a note.
591
00:34:43,482 --> 00:34:46,610
We want a strong public statementcondemning that sortof sleazyjournalism.
592
00:34:46,685 --> 00:34:50,985
My goodness, no wonder you have
so many strong supporters,
Mr. Drelinger.
593
00:34:52,724 --> 00:34:55,158
I may be confused,but someone told me...
594
00:34:55,227 --> 00:34:59,459
that you had a file on Kathleen Lane,
and that you were working up something...
595
00:34:59,531 --> 00:35:01,658
to release to the press.
596
00:35:01,733 --> 00:35:04,463
Who told you that?
That is a damn lie.
597
00:35:04,536 --> 00:35:08,028
Mrs. Fletcher, the only file
we have on Kathleen Lane...
598
00:35:08,106 --> 00:35:10,597
is her position on the issues.
599
00:35:10,675 --> 00:35:12,836
And between you,
me and the door post,
600
00:35:12,911 --> 00:35:15,277
we're not that far apart
on a lot of things.
601
00:35:15,347 --> 00:35:17,440
No, Mrs. Fletcher,
602
00:35:17,516 --> 00:35:21,077
if there's one thing
Arthur Drelinger can't abide,
it's dirty tricks.
603
00:35:22,187 --> 00:35:24,781
Arthur, here's
the documented printout
of our new phone survey.
604
00:35:24,856 --> 00:35:26,949
Kathleen Lane is officially...
605
00:35:27,025 --> 00:35:28,959
dead.
606
00:35:33,565 --> 00:35:36,466
[Nan]
I swear, Mrs. Fletcher,
I was not a spy for Drelinger.
607
00:35:36,535 --> 00:35:39,971
Yes, but according to Cass Malone,
you delivered the message
to Kathleen...
608
00:35:40,038 --> 00:35:43,303
to visit the party chairman,
which left her without
an alibi.
609
00:35:43,375 --> 00:35:47,311
I only took the message.
The man said he was an aide
to the party chairman.
610
00:35:47,379 --> 00:35:51,406
L- I thought you believed
in Kathleen's stand
on the issues.
611
00:35:51,483 --> 00:35:53,451
What I believe in are numbers-
612
00:35:53,518 --> 00:35:56,146
the substantial salary numbers
that Drelinger's campaign
offered me,
613
00:35:56,221 --> 00:36:00,419
and the ugly numbers that Kathleen
is suddenly trailing by
in the polls.
614
00:36:00,492 --> 00:36:05,930
It just seems to me that if you beat
the body politic over the head
long enough with these polls,
615
00:36:05,997 --> 00:36:08,932
they tend to become
a self-fulfilling prophecy.
616
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:12,265
Self-fulfilling or not,
Kathleen is dead in the water.
617
00:36:15,674 --> 00:36:18,074
Take a look at the month-to-month
curve on these numbers.
618
00:36:18,143 --> 00:36:20,907
Kathleen starts out 20 points back,
619
00:36:20,979 --> 00:36:23,504
then she closes it to 15,
then 12,
620
00:36:23,582 --> 00:36:25,573
then 10, then five.
621
00:36:25,650 --> 00:36:28,244
In this past week-
the photos, Bud's death-
622
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:30,288
it's back to 12 in two days.
623
00:36:30,355 --> 00:36:33,984
You mean Kathleen was within
five points of Drelinger?
624
00:36:34,059 --> 00:36:36,323
The day Bud was murdered, yes.
625
00:36:36,394 --> 00:36:40,524
But the figures that you passed
under the door were 53 to 46.
626
00:36:40,599 --> 00:36:42,567
That's seven points.
627
00:36:42,634 --> 00:36:44,761
That was a mistake.
628
00:36:44,836 --> 00:36:47,498
I told you and Lt. Gowans.
No one else.
629
00:36:47,572 --> 00:36:49,540
What's the big deal?
630
00:36:49,608 --> 00:36:52,008
Anybody can make a mistake.
631
00:36:52,077 --> 00:36:54,045
Oh, dear.
632
00:37:11,830 --> 00:37:13,798
Mrs. Fletcher?
633
00:37:13,865 --> 00:37:17,130
What's going on?
Is she throwing in the towel?
I honestly don't know.
634
00:37:17,202 --> 00:37:19,193
Well, she's called
a press conference.
635
00:37:19,271 --> 00:37:22,104
She's trailing Drelinger
by 12 points now.
What else could it be?
636
00:37:22,173 --> 00:37:24,607
Maybe she's decided
to hang in and fight it out.
637
00:37:24,676 --> 00:37:27,509
But if she has decided to withdraw,
638
00:37:27,579 --> 00:37:30,673
I think that you can take
some of the responsibility.
639
00:37:30,749 --> 00:37:34,617
Oh, give me a break, Mrs. Fletcher.
I don't make the news.
I just report it.
640
00:37:34,686 --> 00:37:37,780
Really? It doesn't seem
as simple as that to me.
641
00:37:37,856 --> 00:37:40,416
Whatever you report
becomes the news.
642
00:37:40,492 --> 00:37:43,893
You seem to decide what is news
and what is important
and what isn't.
643
00:37:43,962 --> 00:37:47,989
I mean, somehow you seem to mix up
importance with sensationalism.
644
00:37:48,066 --> 00:37:50,034
Let me explain something to you.
645
00:37:50,101 --> 00:37:52,626
The political beat
puts people to sleep.
646
00:37:52,704 --> 00:37:56,504
It's dry, it's boring.
They want to see Dallas.Knots Landing.
647
00:37:56,574 --> 00:37:59,304
So you give them soap operas.
Well, what about the issues?
648
00:37:59,377 --> 00:38:01,811
What have we got?
Two, three minutes
of air time per story?
649
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:04,212
We've gotta grab 'em.
And what are we gonna give them?
650
00:38:04,282 --> 00:38:06,580
Dry statistics? Charts? Graphs?
651
00:38:06,651 --> 00:38:09,814
You seem to have a very low opinion
of your viewers.
652
00:38:11,389 --> 00:38:13,414
One thing I know
about the public, Mrs. Fletcher-
653
00:38:13,491 --> 00:38:15,925
They have a very short attention span.
654
00:38:15,994 --> 00:38:18,758
If Kathleen Lane folds,
she's yesterday's newspaper.
655
00:38:18,830 --> 00:38:20,957
In a month, they won't even
remember her name.
656
00:38:21,032 --> 00:38:25,594
Yes, well, thank you for the lesson
in political science, Mr. Hall.
657
00:38:30,275 --> 00:38:32,140
Thank you.
658
00:38:33,345 --> 00:38:36,007
Oh, Kathleen.
Jessica.
659
00:38:38,683 --> 00:38:42,449
Thank you so much
for trying to lend a hand.
Then it's true?
660
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:45,421
I can't convince her
to carry on.
661
00:38:46,858 --> 00:38:48,951
Oh, Jessica, how can I?
662
00:38:49,027 --> 00:38:52,588
I've learned the hard way
that a candidate is worth
two angles to the media.
663
00:38:52,664 --> 00:38:56,623
When I was 20 points
behind in the polls,
they tried to build me up...
664
00:38:56,701 --> 00:39:00,228
with those heart-rending stories
about the gutsy underdog.
665
00:39:00,305 --> 00:39:02,773
But after molding you
into David versus Goliath,
666
00:39:02,841 --> 00:39:05,173
they wanted a new angle
for the morning edition.
667
00:39:05,243 --> 00:39:07,211
That's the idea.
668
00:39:07,278 --> 00:39:10,372
And when I closed the gap,
they started to tear me down.
669
00:39:11,816 --> 00:39:14,944
My attempt at public service
has cost me my dignity,
670
00:39:15,019 --> 00:39:17,010
my privacy and my sanity.
671
00:39:17,088 --> 00:39:19,921
And it could have cost memy marriage.
672
00:39:19,991 --> 00:39:23,119
Sorry, Jessica.
It just isn't worth it.
673
00:39:23,194 --> 00:39:26,630
Kathleen? The lynch party's
trampling the lawn.
674
00:39:29,033 --> 00:39:32,025
We're still suing Hall
and Channel 8.
675
00:39:32,103 --> 00:39:34,367
No, we're not, darling.
676
00:39:34,439 --> 00:39:37,738
We're just gonna get on
with the rest of our lives.
677
00:39:41,346 --> 00:39:45,442
Well, I'd better go out there
and give 'em the hanging
they came for.
678
00:39:45,517 --> 00:39:48,077
Jackson? Could I have a moment with you?
679
00:39:51,022 --> 00:39:53,889
Uh, Kathleen? I'll be right along.
680
00:39:58,797 --> 00:40:03,461
Yes, what is it, Jessica?
Something wrong?
Well, I'm afraid so.
681
00:40:03,535 --> 00:40:06,629
I think I know who took
those photos of Kathleen and Bud...
682
00:40:06,704 --> 00:40:09,229
and leaked them to Channel 8.
You do?
683
00:40:09,307 --> 00:40:13,243
It was the same person that lured
Kathleen away from the hotel
the night that Bud died.
684
00:40:14,312 --> 00:40:17,304
Well, if it's someone
on Drelinger's staff,
685
00:40:17,382 --> 00:40:20,180
then we've gotta stop her
from withdrawing.
686
00:40:20,251 --> 00:40:22,811
Oh, I'm afraid it's a little late for that.
687
00:40:24,222 --> 00:40:27,123
Please! Please, I have a statement.
688
00:40:29,727 --> 00:40:33,663
If a candidate's character
becomes the issue of the campaign,
689
00:40:33,731 --> 00:40:36,996
and the bedroom becomes the ballot box,
690
00:40:37,068 --> 00:40:40,299
then the candidate can no longer
speak on the vital ideas...
691
00:40:40,371 --> 00:40:42,999
and programsthat should be addressed.
692
00:40:43,074 --> 00:40:47,010
Although my husband and...
693
00:40:47,078 --> 00:40:50,809
some tireless volunteers
and staff workers...
694
00:40:50,882 --> 00:40:54,113
pleaded with meto remain in the race,
695
00:40:56,254 --> 00:40:58,347
I am announcing my withdrawal.
696
00:40:58,423 --> 00:41:02,154
[Reporters Clamoring]
697
00:41:06,464 --> 00:41:08,432
I hope to, uh,
698
00:41:08,500 --> 00:41:12,698
speak out on some of the issues
from time to time,
699
00:41:14,372 --> 00:41:17,808
and that the party will still look
for the best man- or woman-
700
00:41:21,079 --> 00:41:25,140
and not give the nomination
to Arthur Drelinger by default.
701
00:41:26,150 --> 00:41:28,414
[Jackson]What a gutsy lady she is, huh?
702
00:41:28,486 --> 00:41:30,716
You know what I'm gonna do?
703
00:41:30,788 --> 00:41:33,655
I'm gonna take here away for a while-
for a few months.
704
00:41:33,725 --> 00:41:37,923
We always talked a lot
about spending time in France.
705
00:41:37,996 --> 00:41:40,328
It really tears me up though that...
706
00:41:40,398 --> 00:41:43,731
she'll never get a chance to show
what she could do.
707
00:41:43,801 --> 00:41:48,261
On the contrary.
You must be... enormously relieved.
708
00:41:48,339 --> 00:41:52,503
Relieved? That somebody like Drelinger
smeared my wife...
709
00:41:52,577 --> 00:41:55,740
and forced her to withdraw?
Oh, Jackson, I'm sorry.
710
00:41:55,813 --> 00:42:00,773
But Kathleen's most dangerous
opponent in this campaign
wasn't Drelinger.
711
00:42:00,852 --> 00:42:04,845
- It was you.
- Me?
[Laughs]
712
00:42:06,190 --> 00:42:10,286
After spending a million dollars
to launch her campaign?
713
00:42:10,361 --> 00:42:12,591
Yes, I imagine
there probably was a time...
714
00:42:12,664 --> 00:42:15,792
when you thought
the election might help
your business deals,
715
00:42:15,867 --> 00:42:19,633
but then the sharks
started to circle.
716
00:42:19,704 --> 00:42:21,695
I don't know what you're talking about.
717
00:42:21,773 --> 00:42:24,037
I'm talking about
the media spotlight-
718
00:42:24,108 --> 00:42:28,204
that suddenly began to pryinto your personaland business life.
719
00:42:28,279 --> 00:42:30,543
Everybody knew
about your tax problems,
720
00:42:30,615 --> 00:42:32,810
but you thought
that was all behind you.
721
00:42:32,884 --> 00:42:35,978
But because of Kathleen,
you became news again.
722
00:42:36,054 --> 00:42:39,285
The press began to dig,
to see what dirt
they could come up with.
723
00:42:39,357 --> 00:42:41,348
Aw, that's ridiculous.
724
00:42:41,426 --> 00:42:43,417
I don't think so.
725
00:42:43,494 --> 00:42:47,157
You knew that- that you couldn't
take that kind of scrutiny,
726
00:42:47,231 --> 00:42:51,668
so you decided that Kathleen
had to drop out of the race.
727
00:42:51,736 --> 00:42:56,366
I think it was you
who took those photographs
of Kathleen and Bud Johnson.
728
00:42:56,441 --> 00:42:58,671
I was out of the country.
729
00:42:58,743 --> 00:43:02,270
Well, that shouldn't be hard to check.
They keep very good records
these days.
730
00:43:02,347 --> 00:43:07,182
Lieutenant, you can't take this woman's
wild charges seriously.
731
00:43:07,251 --> 00:43:10,516
Perhaps you'd like to show us
your passport, Mr. Lane.
732
00:43:11,856 --> 00:43:15,019
Oh. All right.
733
00:43:15,093 --> 00:43:17,618
Maybe I wasn't in the Bahamas.
734
00:43:17,695 --> 00:43:19,856
That doesn't prove I took the pictures.
735
00:43:19,931 --> 00:43:23,458
I think that you called Edmund Hall,
disguising your voice.
736
00:43:23,534 --> 00:43:25,968
I think you also left that phone message,
737
00:43:26,037 --> 00:43:29,438
luring Kathleen on that wild goose chase
to the chairman's house in the suburbs.
738
00:43:29,507 --> 00:43:33,307
The next thing I know
you'll be accusing me
of killing Bud Johnson.
739
00:43:33,378 --> 00:43:36,040
For God sakes, I was here,
740
00:43:36,114 --> 00:43:38,947
40 miles away from the city.
741
00:43:39,017 --> 00:43:43,317
Oh, you may have given that impression
when you called on your car phone,
742
00:43:43,388 --> 00:43:45,618
but you were there, all right, Jackson,
743
00:43:45,690 --> 00:43:49,285
in Kathleen's suite.
Oh, that's a lie.
744
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:53,820
Nan slipped the poll results
under the door at around 10:00.
745
00:43:53,898 --> 00:43:56,833
"Fifty-three to forty-six."Seven points apart.
746
00:43:56,901 --> 00:43:59,301
Those are the numbers
you shouted at the reporters...
747
00:43:59,370 --> 00:44:01,463
at the news conference
the very next morning.
748
00:44:01,539 --> 00:44:03,939
My wife started out
a dark horse,
749
00:44:04,008 --> 00:44:07,444
some 20 points behind Drelinger.
750
00:44:07,512 --> 00:44:12,006
Now she's closed
to only seven points behind.
751
00:44:12,083 --> 00:44:15,382
Care for an instant replay,
courtesy of Channel 8?
752
00:44:16,688 --> 00:44:20,647
Well, that's what it was- seven points.
[Jessica]No, that was a mistake.
753
00:44:20,725 --> 00:44:22,659
It was actually five points.
754
00:44:22,727 --> 00:44:25,127
Nan was already making the correction
and typing up the release...
755
00:44:25,196 --> 00:44:28,654
about the time you threw
Bud Johnson off the balcony.
756
00:44:28,733 --> 00:44:30,860
The only wayyou'd have gotten seven points...
757
00:44:30,935 --> 00:44:32,926
would have been if you'd beenin that room...
758
00:44:33,004 --> 00:44:36,064
and seen the figure
she'd slipped under the door.
759
00:44:40,378 --> 00:44:43,814
Bud found out that l-
I wasn't in the Bahamas
that weekend.
760
00:44:43,881 --> 00:44:48,841
Once the photographs made the news,
he'd start to put it together.
761
00:44:52,223 --> 00:44:54,214
And then...
762
00:44:54,292 --> 00:44:56,886
the solution came to me.
763
00:44:56,961 --> 00:45:02,695
Bud's suicide-It would finally put an endto Kathleen's campaign.
764
00:45:02,767 --> 00:45:04,894
I got-
765
00:45:04,969 --> 00:45:08,496
I got Kathleen outand I slipped into her suite.
766
00:45:08,573 --> 00:45:10,564
I phoned Bud's room...
767
00:45:10,641 --> 00:45:14,600
and I told him Kathleen was backand wanted to see him.
768
00:45:16,214 --> 00:45:18,148
I was- I was cornered.
769
00:45:18,216 --> 00:45:20,878
L- I had to do something.
770
00:45:22,553 --> 00:45:24,714
I brought the hammer from home.
771
00:45:27,024 --> 00:45:29,959
So you removed his clothes,
dressed him in Kathleen's robe-
772
00:45:30,027 --> 00:45:32,291
And then you threw him
off the balcony.
