I don't intend to let Kreuger
move this franchise.

00:00:06,907 --> 00:00:10,434
That wimp of a commissioner
is not gonna tell me how to run my business!
5
00:00:10,511 --> 00:00:13,912
- Hey, lady, you can't be in here.
- Oh, that's all right. I'm one of the owners.
6
00:00:13,981 --> 00:00:17,075
- Kreuger's behind this. I know it.
- Phil died intestate.
7
00:00:17,151 --> 00:00:21,349
- I never knew that about Phil.
- You, uh, left the party kind of early yourself, Commissioner.
8
00:00:21,422 --> 00:00:24,687
- Mr. Mason.
- I didn't expect to see youin the shower room.

Hello. I'm Bradford Lockwood.
14

Please let me express
my condolences.
15
00:02:00,687 --> 00:02:03,656
Your Uncle Cyrus
spoke of you so very often.
16
00:02:03,724 --> 00:02:05,919
That's very kind, Mr. Lockwood.
17
00:02:05,993 --> 00:02:09,451
We were very close...
[Chuckles] When I was a good deal younger.
18
00:02:09,530 --> 00:02:12,055
But, well, the last few years, l...
19
00:02:12,132 --> 00:02:16,193
I just felt that somebody
from the family ought to be here.
20
00:02:16,270 --> 00:02:19,467
Are you his friend?
Uh, yes, and his attorney.
21
00:02:19,540 --> 00:02:23,533
I drafted his will.
Really? I had no idea he left an estate.
22
00:02:23,610 --> 00:02:25,805
Well, I'd hardly call it that.
23
00:02:25,879 --> 00:02:27,904
He, uh... He didn't tell you, then?
24
00:02:27,981 --> 00:02:31,473
Tell me what?
You're the sole beneficiary, Mrs. Fletcher.
25
00:02:31,552 --> 00:02:34,385
I am?
Of course, he didn't leave much.

Usually his blue chips
were in a poker pot.
29
00:02:42,496 --> 00:02:47,297
Well, I'm afraid that
this is a company that has not paid a dividend in many years.
30
00:02:47,367 --> 00:02:49,335
It's not publicly traded.
31
00:02:49,403 --> 00:02:53,464
But I'm sure there's more than enough
to cover his funeral expenses.
32
00:02:54,608 --> 00:02:59,272
Lf, uh, you would be good enough
to sign this power of attorney,
33
00:02:59,346 --> 00:03:01,814
I could dispose of that stock for you...
34
00:03:01,882 --> 00:03:04,510
and then send you a check
to Cabot Cove.
35
00:03:04,585 --> 00:03:06,815
Uh...
[Chuckles] Excuse me, Mr. Lockwood,
36
00:03:06,887 --> 00:03:10,084
but what exactly is
theJackdaw Corporation?
37
00:03:10,157 --> 00:03:13,092
It's a holding company.
And what does it hold?
38
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,391
Its only asset is
the Leopard football team.
39

[Gasps]
Now I remember.
40
00:03:18,932 --> 00:03:23,699
Uncle Cyrus used to work
for some team or other. Oh, but that was years ago.
41
00:03:23,770 --> 00:03:27,103
I hate to trouble you
with details at a time like this,
42
00:03:27,174 --> 00:03:29,938
but I will need your signature
on those proxies...
43

before you leave for Cabot Cove.
44
00:03:32,613 --> 00:03:36,743
Oh, I couldn't sign anything
without reading it very carefully.
45
00:03:36,817 --> 00:03:41,413
Well, I'd be glad to handle
all that paperwork for you, Mrs. Fletcher.
46

Uh, as a favor, of course.
47
00:03:43,824 --> 00:03:46,759
I'm sure you would, Mr. Lockwood.
But there's no hurry.
48
00:03:46,827 --> 00:03:50,092
I've decided to stay over
a couple of days. Oh, I see.
49
00:03:50,163 --> 00:03:53,155
Well, in that case,
can I give you a lift back to your hotel?

anonymous phone calls, wasn't it? - No, Zak.

Oh, Mr. Pattillo. Or should I say Coach Pattillo?
164
00:10:55,188 --> 00:10:57,986
May I talk to you?
Of course.
165
00:10:59,059 --> 00:11:01,323
Uh... Uh, are we
hiding from someone?
166
00:11:01,394 --> 00:11:03,419
Uh, look, ma'am.
I want to buy your stock.
167
00:11:03,496 --> 00:11:06,556
I talked to the bank today,
and they're gonna give me a second mortgage.
168
00:11:06,633 --> 00:11:09,158
It's gonna be a stretch,
but I can give you 60,000.
169
00:11:09,235 --> 00:11:11,294
How interesting.
170
00:11:11,371 --> 00:11:13,339
Twice as much as I was just offered.
171
00:11:13,406 --> 00:11:17,843
Tell me, Mr. Pattillo,
why is everyone so anxious to buy me out?
172
00:11:17,911 --> 00:11:19,879
Well, that's no big secret.
173
00:11:19,946 --> 00:11:24,042
Kreuger owns 48%,
and a rival group of investors owns 48%.
174
00:11:24,117 --> 00:11:27,143
Your Uncle Cyrus ownsthe other four percent.
175
00:11:27,220 --> 00:11:29,586
Apparently he wouldn't sell.
Right.
176
00:11:30,657 --> 00:11:33,558
Except that Lockwood had
the old man's voting proxies...
177
00:11:33,626 --> 00:11:35,617
and threw the balance of power
to Kreuger.
178
00:11:35,695 --> 00:11:38,027
That's quite a battle.
No.
179
00:11:38,098 --> 00:11:39,929
It's war, Mrs. Fletcher.
180
00:11:39,999 --> 00:11:42,729
You see, Kreuger wants tomove the franchise to a bigger city.
181
00:11:42,802 --> 00:11:44,736
And you're for
keeping the team right here.
182
00:11:44,804 --> 00:11:49,070
I love this town.
It's my home.
183
00:11:49,142 --> 00:11:51,076
I want the Leopards here.
184
00:11:55,081 --> 00:11:58,642
[Kreuger]All right, look.This club actually lost money last year,
185
00:11:58,718 --> 00:12:02,745
but if I've got majority ownership,I'm willing to put some big bucksinto this team.
186
00:12:02,822 --> 00:12:04,983
This club could go places.
187
00:12:05,058 --> 00:12:07,424
Like a bigger city?
188
00:12:07,494 --> 00:12:09,587
40,000.
189
00:12:10,730 --> 00:12:12,891
I've already been offered
more than that.
190
00:12:14,901 --> 00:12:17,893
All right, lady.
From here on I take the gloves off.
191
00:12:17,971 --> 00:12:21,532
150,000,
and that's my final offer.
192
00:12:21,608 --> 00:12:25,339
Mr. Kreuger, my Uncle Cyrus
entrusted those shares to me...
193
00:12:25,411 --> 00:12:27,879
rather than sell them to you.
194
00:12:27,947 --> 00:12:30,415
I intend to find out the reason.
195
00:12:30,483 --> 00:12:32,451
The reason?
196
00:12:32,519 --> 00:12:36,580
Lady, the last few years,
your uncle's elevator didn't go all the way to the top.
197
00:12:36,656 --> 00:12:38,624
Besides which, he didn't like me.
198
00:12:38,691 --> 00:12:42,183
Well, I'm sorry,
but I haven't made any decision yet.
199
00:12:42,262 --> 00:12:44,196
I hope you understand.
200
00:12:45,465 --> 00:12:48,127
I hope you understand something,
Mrs. Fletcher.
201
00:12:48,201 --> 00:12:52,604
Football's a very dangerous game,
and sometimes people get hurt.
202
00:12:57,510 --> 00:12:59,740
Shall we join the party?
203
00:13:01,281 --> 00:13:03,272
[Jazz]
204
00:13:11,257 --> 00:13:15,523
Oh, Web. This is Jessica Fletcher.
This is Web McCord, my associate.
205
00:13:15,595 --> 00:13:19,224
He's the one that collects Leopards.
Oh, not the wild variety, I hope.
206
00:13:19,299 --> 00:13:21,733
No, but, uh, some of these animals
belong in cages.
207
00:13:21,801 --> 00:13:24,895
Mrs. Fletcher,I'm very glad you could come.Thank you so much.
208
00:13:24,971 --> 00:13:27,235
Hello, Mr. Mason.
Oh, hi, Mrs. Fletcher.
209
00:13:27,307 --> 00:13:30,799
Thought I'd better get some pictures
before everybody's face gets blurred. [Laughter]
210
00:13:30,877 --> 00:13:33,437
Excuse me. There's...
Mm-hmm. You're leaving?
211
00:13:33,513 --> 00:13:35,913
Yes, I'm gonna go home
and make some phone calls.
212
00:13:43,189 --> 00:13:47,091
Talmadge won't stay very long.
All this drinking makes him nervous.
213
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,094
He's the commissioner.
Oh.
214
00:13:49,162 --> 00:13:51,926
Do me a favor, will ya?
Slip him a Mickey Finn.
215
00:13:53,199 --> 00:13:55,133
He'll be back.
He only lives a block away.
216
00:13:55,201 --> 00:13:59,262
I think it's time to get you a drink.
You know, I've never been to a team party before.
217
00:13:59,339 --> 00:14:04,003
Well, the important thing is, uh,
not to let any of these guys fall on ya.
218
00:14:04,077 --> 00:14:06,068
Baxter.
219
00:14:10,316 --> 00:14:12,284
[Cheering]
220
00:14:14,354 --> 00:14:16,686
[Yelps]
221
00:14:16,756 --> 00:14:18,747
[Cheering, Yelling]
222
00:14:22,662 --> 00:14:24,653
Kreuger.
223
00:14:24,731 --> 00:14:28,098
Where's Kreuger?
Oh, he went to his place.
224
00:14:29,202 --> 00:14:31,636
He'll be back.
Have a drink, Zak.
225
00:14:34,173 --> 00:14:36,164
Excuse me.
226
00:14:39,646 --> 00:14:42,410
Kreuger. Yeah, I want to
talk to you now.
227
00:14:43,416 --> 00:14:47,045
You know what it's about.
I'm gonna settle this thing tonight.
228
00:14:48,154 --> 00:14:51,214
Hey, that's fine with me.
I'll be there at 9:00.
229
00:14:51,291 --> 00:14:53,725
Take it easy, Zak.
This is supposed to be a party.
230
00:14:53,793 --> 00:14:55,761
I'm Harris Talmadge,
commissioner of football.
231
00:14:55,828 --> 00:14:59,764
How nice to meet you.
I understand you now have an ownership position.
232
00:14:59,832 --> 00:15:03,598
I'm afraid if you want to buy my shares,
you'll have to get in line.
233
00:15:03,670 --> 00:15:06,298
My responsibilities
don't permit ownership.
234
00:15:06,372 --> 00:15:10,001
But I'd just like you to know
I don't intend to let Kreuger move this franchise.
235
00:15:10,076 --> 00:15:14,513
Well, I was under the impression
that his mind was made up. And so is mine.
236
00:15:14,580 --> 00:15:17,674
I'll fight him all the way
to the Supreme Court if necessary.
237
00:15:19,252 --> 00:15:23,655
Well, if you'll excuse me, I want...
Mrs. Fletcher, we really should have a little talk sometime.
238
00:15:31,230 --> 00:15:34,427
Uh, excuse me, Mr. Baxter.
Did you happen to see Zak Farrell?
239
00:15:34,500 --> 00:15:36,661
Oh, he left, ma'am...
a few moments ago.
240
00:15:36,736 --> 00:15:38,727
Oh.
241
00:16:15,775 --> 00:16:17,766
##[Disco]
242
00:16:36,162 --> 00:16:38,357
Mason. Mason.
Can I cut in, please?
243
00:16:38,431 --> 00:16:40,865
[Chuckles]
244
00:16:40,933 --> 00:16:43,766
Having a good time?
Oh, I'm just having a wonderful time.
245
00:16:43,836 --> 00:16:46,327
It's a great party.
[Chuckles]
246
00:16:46,406 --> 00:16:49,034
Ohhh!
Here we are.
247
00:16:50,309 --> 00:16:52,334
Great party, McCord.
248
00:16:52,412 --> 00:16:54,744
Hey, uh, where's Kreuger?
249
00:16:54,814 --> 00:16:57,078
He's missing a great party.
250
00:16:58,418 --> 00:17:01,546
- I'm gonna go over and get him.
- Well, you wait. I'll go with you.
251
00:17:01,621 --> 00:17:04,021
Mrs. Fletcher,
will you please excuse me?
252
00:17:04,090 --> 00:17:06,820
Oh, yes. Yes. Of course.
253
00:17:09,262 --> 00:17:14,165
Oh, where are you going, Mr. Dillon?
Oh, I, uh, got work to do in the morning.
254
00:17:14,233 --> 00:17:16,224
Oh, it's a wonderful party.
255
00:17:16,302 --> 00:17:18,293
Yeah.
256
00:17:26,746 --> 00:17:28,737
[Water Running]
257
00:17:33,386 --> 00:17:35,377
[Water Running]
258
00:17:54,874 --> 00:17:58,173
Uh, yeah, Barney.
Somebody got Phil Kreuger for keeps.
259
00:17:58,244 --> 00:18:00,804
Drowned.
I'd say sometime last evening.
260
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,246
No, I haven't gotany suspects yet.
261
00:18:03,316 --> 00:18:06,308
Barney, I know this is gonnachange the line on the Leopards.
262
00:18:06,385 --> 00:18:08,182
Whatever it is,
give me 500 against.
263
00:18:10,156 --> 00:18:11,817
Where's that security guard?
264
00:18:14,494 --> 00:18:17,554
What time did Kreuger
come in here last night? I never saw him come in.
265
00:18:17,630 --> 00:18:20,997
He's got his own
private entrance in the back, his own key. I'm out in front.
266
00:18:21,067 --> 00:18:24,468
Well, did ya hear anything?
Afight? I heard Zak Farrell yelling.
267
00:18:24,537 --> 00:18:27,005
Zak?
268
00:18:27,073 --> 00:18:29,007
Was he here?
269
00:18:29,075 --> 00:18:32,442
I really hate to have to
tell you this, Lieutenant, but Zak came in last night smokin'.
270
00:18:32,512 --> 00:18:35,538
I mean, he really hada head of steam up.He was callin'for Kreuger.
271
00:18:35,615 --> 00:18:37,549
- What time was that?
- 9:00.
272
00:18:37,617 --> 00:18:41,280
I made a note in the register.
A few minutes later, he blew back out past me again.
273
00:18:41,354 --> 00:18:43,322
And he looked like
10 miles of bad road.
274
00:18:43,389 --> 00:18:46,825
[Lieutenant]But you never saw Kreuger?No, I never come back here.
275
00:18:46,893 --> 00:18:48,827
I'm not supposed to leave the desk.
276
00:18:48,895 --> 00:18:50,829
All right. Stick around.
277
00:18:50,897 --> 00:18:54,025
Sure.
Uh, Lieutenant.
278
00:18:54,100 --> 00:18:56,159
Hey, lady, you can't be in here.
279
00:18:56,235 --> 00:18:59,398
Oh, that's all right.
I'm Jessica Fletcher. I'm one of the owners.
280
00:18:59,472 --> 00:19:02,373
Oh. Lieutenant Clyde Pace.
281
00:19:03,643 --> 00:19:06,305
Pleased to meet you, ma'am.
Uh, what can I do for ya?
282
00:19:06,379 --> 00:19:10,145
Well, I was wondering
if you noticed there's something in the bottom of the tank.
283
00:19:11,684 --> 00:19:13,675
Hmm. Hold this.
284
00:19:13,753 --> 00:19:15,744
Ah.
285
00:19:18,991 --> 00:19:20,982
Damn.
286
00:19:23,429 --> 00:19:26,421
Well, lookee here.
287
00:19:26,499 --> 00:19:28,433
A watch.
288
00:19:28,501 --> 00:19:30,867
Smashed crystal, reads 9:04.
289
00:19:30,937 --> 00:19:32,996
Wait a minute.Engraved on the back,
290
00:19:33,072 --> 00:19:35,802
"All-American, 1973."
291
00:19:35,875 --> 00:19:37,843
Zak Farrell.
292
00:19:38,911 --> 00:19:42,506
That nice manwith the adorable child?Oh, that's not possible.
293
00:19:42,582 --> 00:19:46,541
Well, everybody loves him,
but facts are facts, ma'am.
294
00:19:46,619 --> 00:19:48,610
Please.
295
00:19:50,756 --> 00:19:52,781
Pick him up.
Suspicion murder one.
296
00:19:52,858 --> 00:19:57,795
[Clyde] Zak, why don't you admit it.If you two had a fight, we might be able tonegotiate down to second-degree murder.
297
00:19:57,863 --> 00:20:00,764
Clyde, I didn't kill Kreuger.
298
00:20:00,833 --> 00:20:05,702
Lfigure it'll be okay for Mrs. Fletcher
to talk to you since she's one of the owners. She seems to think you didn't do it.
299
00:20:05,771 --> 00:20:07,864
Thank you, Mrs. Fletcher.
300
00:20:09,275 --> 00:20:11,539
Zak, what happened
after you left the party?
301
00:20:12,612 --> 00:20:15,877
I went over to Kreuger's house.
There was nobody home.
302
00:20:15,948 --> 00:20:19,543
He leaves me a typed note on the door,
says to meet him at the stadium.
303
00:20:19,619 --> 00:20:22,554
- A typed note.
- Yeah, we found it on the steps.
304
00:20:22,622 --> 00:20:24,613
I figured it was another stall.
305
00:20:24,690 --> 00:20:27,181
But I was determined
to have it out with him.
306
00:20:27,260 --> 00:20:29,922
So I went over to the stadium.
[Clyde]About 9:00?
307
00:20:31,364 --> 00:20:34,094
Right. He wasn't there.
308
00:20:34,166 --> 00:20:36,100
I called for him.
309
00:20:36,168 --> 00:20:38,102
He didn't answer.
310
00:20:38,170 --> 00:20:40,798
I left.
Went home and got drunk.
311
00:20:40,873 --> 00:20:43,000
So how did your watch
wind up in the whirlpool?
312
00:20:43,075 --> 00:20:45,236
I don't know.
313
00:20:45,311 --> 00:20:47,302
Last time I saw it
was in my locker.
314
00:20:48,781 --> 00:20:52,182
Zak, what exactly were you
going to "have out" with Kreuger?
315
00:20:52,251 --> 00:20:54,185
Well, everybody knows that one.
316
00:20:54,253 --> 00:20:56,517
Zak bummed up his shoulder,
can't play anymore.
317
00:20:56,589 --> 00:20:58,819
But he's got
a four-year no-cut contract.
318
00:20:58,891 --> 00:21:01,086
Kreuger's trying to
negotiate him out.
319
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,754
- Is that right, Zak?
- No.
320
00:21:05,698 --> 00:21:09,361
It's something personal.
But it's lucky Kreuger wasn't there,
321
00:21:09,435 --> 00:21:11,426
or I might've killed him.
322
00:21:17,777 --> 00:21:19,768
Is it true?
323
00:21:19,845 --> 00:21:22,370
[Lockwood On Phone]Murdered by Zak Farrell.
324
00:21:22,448 --> 00:21:24,382
Where does that leave me?
325
00:21:24,450 --> 00:21:26,384
Possibly a very wealthy woman.
326
00:21:26,452 --> 00:21:28,386
Phil died intestate.
327
00:21:29,455 --> 00:21:32,891
How awful.
I never knew that about Phil.
328
00:21:32,958 --> 00:21:36,325
Mavis. That means
he didn't leave a will.
329
00:21:36,395 --> 00:21:38,955
Oh.
Now listen to me carefully.
330
00:21:39,031 --> 00:21:42,694
You've only been in residence
20 days in Las Vegas.
331
00:21:42,768 --> 00:21:44,793
That means the divorce isn't final yet.
332
00:21:44,870 --> 00:21:47,498
What should I do?
Catch the first plane.
333
00:21:47,573 --> 00:21:50,542
Start making like
a grieving widow.
334
00:21:50,609 --> 00:21:53,305
You mean I get Phil's share
of the club?
335
00:21:53,379 --> 00:21:56,041
I'll have the papers ready
for you to sign.
336
00:22:01,020 --> 00:22:04,012
How would you like to be
a football star, honey?

Cathy.
Mrs. Fletcher.
339
00:22:15,301 --> 00:22:17,292
Zak told me you went to see him...
340
00:22:17,370 --> 00:22:19,395
that you think he's innocent.
341
00:22:19,472 --> 00:22:22,168
And what do you think?
Well, l... I know Zak.
342
00:22:22,241 --> 00:22:25,005
He has a temper,
but he couldn't kill anybody.
343
00:22:25,077 --> 00:22:29,411
He's too gentle.
Well, they've got an awfully strong case against him.
344
00:22:29,482 --> 00:22:33,509
Mrs. Fletcher,
I've read about you. I know you can help people.
345
00:22:33,586 --> 00:22:38,114
Well, a couple of times I've been...
able to sort of sort things out... you know, help the police...
346
00:22:38,190 --> 00:22:40,283
but I'm not sure
what I could do for Zak.
347
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,452
This whole football thing
is a riddle to me.
348
00:22:42,528 --> 00:22:44,519
Please help him.
349
00:22:44,597 --> 00:22:47,964
It would destroyJill
if Zak went to prison...
350
00:22:48,033 --> 00:22:50,263
for something he didn't do.
351
00:22:50,336 --> 00:22:53,396
Yes, I'm sure it would be
very, very difficult for...
352
00:22:53,472 --> 00:22:56,100
forJill.

Come on!
I know we've got a lot on our minds. There's an important game on Sunday.
356

Now come on!
I want to see some hitting!

[Whistle Blowing]

Gee, what...

00:23:25,037 --> 00:23:27,904
[Whistle Blowing][Jessica]Stop!
364
00:23:27,973 --> 00:23:32,876
All right. Knock it off!
Please. Oh. I feel as if I've been responsible for all this.
365
00:23:32,945 --> 00:23:37,211
Uh, Mrs. Fletcher, I think
you just put my defensive captain on the injured reserve.
366
00:23:37,283 --> 00:23:39,342
Does that mean he's not dead?
367
00:23:39,418 --> 00:23:42,478
Not quite.
Uh, are you here to see me?
368
00:23:42,555 --> 00:23:44,921
Have you decided
to sell me your stock?
369
00:23:44,990 --> 00:23:48,153
No, I'm still thinking it over,
but I did want to ask you a question.
370
00:23:48,227 --> 00:23:50,821
Now, someone said
that Zak Farrell had a no-cut contract.
371
00:23:50,896 --> 00:23:52,864
Now what exactly does "no-cut" mean?
372
00:23:52,932 --> 00:23:56,299
Well, it means that even though
Zak can't play he still gets paid.
373
00:23:56,368 --> 00:23:59,804
All he has to do is
stay with the team and just show up.
374
00:23:59,872 --> 00:24:01,806
Ah. Then he's in breach of contract.
375
00:24:01,874 --> 00:24:04,934
Yes. You see, if he's doing
20-to-life for murder,
376
00:24:05,010 --> 00:24:08,070
the club can get out
from under his deal.
377
00:24:08,147 --> 00:24:10,172
I thought it might be
something like that.
378
00:24:13,018 --> 00:24:15,179
All right, you dumb clods!
Get over here!
379
00:24:16,689 --> 00:24:19,157
What the hell is wrong with you?
[Muttering]

00:24:23,829 --> 00:24:25,956
Oh, Mr. Dillon.
381
00:24:26,031 --> 00:24:28,295
Didn't I see you
at Uncle Cyrus's funeral?
382
00:24:28,367 --> 00:24:30,927
Oh, yeah. Cyrus and me
went back a long way together.
383
00:24:31,003 --> 00:24:34,564
- But you're not
supposed to be in here, lady. - Oh, that's all right, Mr. Dillon.
384
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,108
I'm one of the owners now.

[Sighs]
387
00:24:42,047 --> 00:24:45,642
Cyrus and me first worked
for the Leopards way back when they first got a franchise.
388
00:24:45,718 --> 00:24:47,879
Ah.
He was equipment manager. I was a player.
389
00:24:47,953 --> 00:24:52,219
When I was a little girl,
I remember Uncle Cyrus throwing the ball back and forth with me.
390
00:24:52,291 --> 00:24:55,522
Things were pretty lean then.
Sometimes they didn't make enough to pay us.
391
00:24:55,594 --> 00:24:57,528
They gave us stock instead.
392
00:24:57,596 --> 00:25:00,895
Oh, you... you own stock?
Not anymore I don't.
393
00:25:00,966 --> 00:25:03,730
Kreuger bought me out
10 years ago for $500.
394
00:25:03,802 --> 00:25:06,635
Cyrus... Cyrus was
too ornery to sell.
395
00:25:06,705 --> 00:25:11,074
Tell me, Mr. Dillon.
Do you have the combinations for all these lockers?
396
00:25:12,478 --> 00:25:17,415
Sure. Why?
Well, Zak Farrell said that his wristwatch was taken from his locker.
397
00:25:17,483 --> 00:25:20,782
In 20 years, nobody has ever
accused me of theft. [Shower Water Running]

00:25:20,853 --> 00:25:24,380
Any fool could open
one of these things with a coat hanger.

Mr. Mason.I'm so glad you're feeling better.
400
00:25:30,462 --> 00:25:32,828

Um... Oh, would you look at the time?

00:25:49,048 --> 00:25:50,982
Um, I'll have to be running along.
408

why you ever bet against me?

Well, five says you miss.
You know I can't wager, Web. Come on.

Zak Farrell, ma'am? Well, if I can.

00:26:20,746 --> 00:26:23,681
Lieutenant,
about that medical report. Did they fix the time of death?
414
00:26:23,749 --> 00:26:27,378
Well, Doc puts it right around 9:00.
Says there was a small bruise in the forehead,
415
00:26:27,453 --> 00:26:30,354
might have been a struggle,
but cause of death was definitely drowning.
416
00:26:30,422 --> 00:26:32,515
Mmm.
Well, that's what I was afraid of.
417
00:26:32,591 --> 00:26:35,389
Thanks to McCord here,
Zak made bail this afternoon.

Mr. McCord.

He's a good man.
Innocent until proven otherwise.
420
00:26:40,265 --> 00:26:43,496
Mrs. Fletcher, may I askwhy you're so interested in Zak Farrell?
421
00:26:43,569 --> 00:26:46,868
Look on it as
concerned management.
422
00:26:46,939 --> 00:26:49,407
Mrs. Fletcher is something of
an amateur detective.
423
00:26:49,475 --> 00:26:51,636
No, I'm just trying to
help out a friend.
424
00:26:51,710 --> 00:26:54,110
Is there any doubt
that it was Zak who killed him?
425
00:26:54,179 --> 00:26:57,376
Well, he's certainly not
the only one with a motive.
426
00:26:57,449 --> 00:27:01,249
If Clyde arrested everybodywho's glad Kreuger's dead,he'd have to build a biggerjail.
427
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:05,381
Mm-hmm.
But supposing somebody else had gotten in and killed Kreuger.
428
00:27:05,457 --> 00:27:07,391
I mean, no one actually sawZak Farrell do it.
429
00:27:07,459 --> 00:27:12,362
No, no. I checked with the locksmith.He only made one key to the back entrance,and we found it in Kreuger's pocket.
430
00:27:12,431 --> 00:27:14,626
Maybe there's another way in?

Mrs. Fletcher,we all like Zak a lot,

00:27:17,870 --> 00:27:21,328
but with his temper,
we'll have to accept the fact that he murdered Phil Kreuger.

Well, you may accept it, but... I don't.

kind enough to take me back?

was just trying to scare me off.

excuse me for asking,

but I noticed your leg
gives you trouble.

- Is that an old football injury?
- Well, that's how it started.
462
00:30:51,416 --> 00:30:56,513
Years ago, Kreuger was coach of the team,
and he put me back in before it was healed. I'm lucky I can walk.
463
00:30:56,588 --> 00:30:58,920
Then you didn't like
Mr. Kreuger very much, did you?
464
00:30:58,991 --> 00:31:01,425
I hated his guts,
but I didn't kill him.
465
00:31:02,494 --> 00:31:06,624
Zak Farrell's injury
has jeopardized his career too. It's depressing.

Yeah. Of course,
that makes your stock worth more.

00:32:10,929 --> 00:32:13,489
Good-bye.
Bye-bye. [Chuckles]
489
00:32:19,137 --> 00:32:22,664
I... love... horses...
490
00:32:22,741 --> 00:32:24,732
too.
491
00:32:30,515 --> 00:32:32,574
You're going to play now?
492
00:32:32,651 --> 00:32:34,642
I'm learning.
493
00:32:35,887 --> 00:32:37,855
Oh, what a lovely child.
494
00:32:37,923 --> 00:32:40,653
She's very lucky to have
you two as parents.
495
00:32:41,827 --> 00:32:45,763
Maybe now that Kreuger's dead,
this nightmare will stop. Cathy.
496
00:32:45,831 --> 00:32:48,231
I'm sorry,
but that's how I feel.
497
00:32:48,300 --> 00:32:51,098
Look, I know this is
none of my business, but...
498
00:32:51,169 --> 00:32:53,603
was there more going on
with Mr. Kreuger...
499
00:32:53,672 --> 00:32:56,505
than just the football contract?
500
00:32:56,575 --> 00:32:58,566
I guess you have
the right to know, Jessica.
501
00:32:58,643 --> 00:33:00,577
Jill is adopted.
502
00:33:01,947 --> 00:33:05,940
We wanted a child so badly
that when the chance came along we jumped at it.
503
00:33:08,220 --> 00:33:10,711
It was a private adoption,
arranged by an attorney.
504
00:33:10,789 --> 00:33:13,587
Uh, we had to pay
the natural mother a lot of money.
505
00:33:13,658 --> 00:33:16,218
It was a shortcut.
But we didn't care.
506
00:33:16,294 --> 00:33:18,762
It also may not have beenexactly legal.
507
00:33:18,830 --> 00:33:21,526
Anyway, Cathy's been getting
these anonymous phone calls.
508
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,330
Threatening to takeJill
away from you.
509
00:33:26,405 --> 00:33:30,000
I can't prove it, but I'm convinced
Kreuger found out aboutJill...
510
00:33:30,075 --> 00:33:32,509
and was gonna use it
to force me off the team.
511
00:33:32,577 --> 00:33:37,776
- That's why I went to see him.
- You mentioned that an attorney arranged the adoption.
512
00:33:37,849 --> 00:33:41,785
- Was that, by any chance,
Brad Lockwood? - Yes.
513
00:33:41,853 --> 00:33:44,481
How did you know that?
514
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,619
[Jessica]Oh, Amos, thanks so much for checking.
515
00:33:50,695 --> 00:33:53,095
I was so afraidI'd left the back door unlocked.
516
00:33:53,165 --> 00:33:55,326
[Water Running]
Is that right?
517
00:33:56,334 --> 00:33:59,861
Well, I don't care
whatJonathan's paper says.
518
00:33:59,938 --> 00:34:02,907
Uh-uh. Zak Farrell
did not kill Mr. Kreuger.
519
00:34:04,242 --> 00:34:06,767
Well, I could be home Saturday,
maybe Sunday.
520
00:34:06,845 --> 00:34:08,836
It depends.
521
00:34:08,914 --> 00:34:11,314
Ooh, the tub.
Amos, I've got to run.
522
00:34:11,383 --> 00:34:13,408
No, I'll see you when I get home.
523
00:34:21,726 --> 00:34:25,218
Oh! I wondered what had happened
to that earring.
524
00:34:29,468 --> 00:34:32,164
[Knocking On Door]
I'm coming.
525
00:34:38,143 --> 00:34:40,475
I hope I haven't come
at an inconvenient time.
526
00:34:40,545 --> 00:34:43,708
Uh, well, as a matter...
I tried to call, but the line was busy.
527
00:34:43,782 --> 00:34:46,945
Oh, yeah.
L... I was calling home. Uh, please come inside.
528
00:34:47,018 --> 00:34:49,009
Forgive me
for dropping by unannounced,
529
00:34:49,087 --> 00:34:51,851
but I'm flying to New York tomorrow
and l... I wanted to talk.
530
00:34:51,923 --> 00:34:55,825
As commissioner, it's part of my job
to get to know the owners. Keep out the riffraff?
531
00:34:55,894 --> 00:34:59,022
Well, professional sports
sometimes attracts the wrong element.
532
00:34:59,097 --> 00:35:01,065
Oh, so I've noticed.
533
00:35:01,133 --> 00:35:05,297
Mrs. Fletcher... [Clears Throat]
I've heard that you might be willing to sell your stock.
534
00:35:08,340 --> 00:35:10,740
I must have a sign on my back.
535
00:35:10,809 --> 00:35:14,609
There's an investorwho's very interested in the cluband who'd keep the franchise here.
536
00:35:14,679 --> 00:35:16,613
Would his name be Web McCord?
537
00:35:16,681 --> 00:35:19,206
I'm not so sure he'd want me to say.
538
00:35:19,284 --> 00:35:23,983
Well, let's say you didn't say.
I suppose anything would be an improvement over Phil Kreuger.
539
00:35:24,055 --> 00:35:26,216
Kreuger was a boor and a liar.
540
00:35:26,291 --> 00:35:30,193
He seemed to take a perverse pleasurein publicly humiliating me.
541
00:35:30,262 --> 00:35:33,060
Well, you won't have
that problem anymore.
542
00:35:33,131 --> 00:35:35,725
Well, I didn't kill him,
if that's what you mean.
543
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:37,734
Remember,
I was at McCord's party.
544
00:35:37,802 --> 00:35:40,828
It's 45 minutes
from McCord's house to the stadium and back.
545
00:35:40,906 --> 00:35:44,171
And no one at that party
could have killed Kreuger except Farrell...
546
00:35:44,242 --> 00:35:46,836
because he left early.
547
00:35:46,912 --> 00:35:51,281
But as I remember,
didn't you also leave early, Commissioner?
548
00:35:51,349 --> 00:35:54,409
[Chuckles]
Well, if you'll excuse me, I'd like to take my bath.
549
00:35:54,486 --> 00:35:57,080
Will you, um...
Ah, of course.
550
00:35:57,155 --> 00:36:01,455
You know, it's strange.
I mean, first one woman owner, then two...
551
00:36:01,526 --> 00:36:03,460
in less than a week.
552
00:36:03,528 --> 00:36:07,089
Two?
Mrs. Kreuger. I assume she'll inherit.
553
00:36:07,165 --> 00:36:09,656
I didn't know there was
a Mrs. Kreuger.
554
00:36:09,734 --> 00:36:11,725
Thanks for stopping by.
Sure.
555
00:36:32,324 --> 00:36:34,315
[Jessica]Hello.
556
00:36:39,731 --> 00:36:41,722
Anyone here?
557
00:36:44,536 --> 00:36:47,130
Hello?
558
00:36:47,205 --> 00:36:50,072
Uh, the doorbell
doesn't seem to be working.
559
00:37:21,773 --> 00:37:23,934
It's wet.
560
00:37:24,009 --> 00:37:26,000
Of course.
561
00:37:37,856 --> 00:37:39,824
Hold it right there, honey.
562
00:37:39,891 --> 00:37:42,223
Don't move an eyelash.
563
00:37:43,895 --> 00:37:46,625
You must be Mrs. Kreuger.
564
00:37:46,698 --> 00:37:48,996
We haven't met.
565
00:37:49,067 --> 00:37:51,126
I'm Jessica Fletcher.
566
00:37:51,202 --> 00:37:54,228
I told you not to move.
567
00:37:55,573 --> 00:37:58,098
- How did you get in here?
- The door was ajar.
568
00:37:58,176 --> 00:38:00,610
I called, uh, but you didn't answer.
569
00:38:00,679 --> 00:38:04,206
You weren't, by any chance,taking a bath, were you?
570
00:38:05,283 --> 00:38:09,014
Bath? I just got in from Las Vegas
two minutes ago.
571
00:38:09,087 --> 00:38:10,884
Look,
572
00:38:10,955 --> 00:38:13,185
I don't know who you are, honey,
573
00:38:13,258 --> 00:38:15,522
but I don't like
finding you in my bathroom.
574
00:38:17,295 --> 00:38:19,786
I'm gonna call the police.
575
00:38:19,864 --> 00:38:22,059
Good idea.
I was gonna call them myself.
576
00:38:22,133 --> 00:38:24,124
Ask for Lieutenant Pace.
577
00:38:28,973 --> 00:38:31,533
Yeah. It's wet all right.
578
00:38:31,609 --> 00:38:33,668
You need a plumber,
not a police officer.
579
00:38:33,745 --> 00:38:36,646
Would somebody tell me
what is going on here?
580
00:38:36,715 --> 00:38:38,774
Lieutenant,
this is only a theory, but...
581
00:38:38,850 --> 00:38:41,819
what if Phil Kreuger wasn't drowned
in the training room?
582
00:38:41,886 --> 00:38:44,548
What ifhe was drownedright here in his own tub?
583
00:38:44,622 --> 00:38:46,886
Phil drowned in this room?
584
00:38:46,958 --> 00:38:50,826
- But they found his body in the whirlpool.
- The party was only half a block from here.
585
00:38:50,895 --> 00:38:52,886
Anybody could have slipped out,
come over here,
586
00:38:52,964 --> 00:38:55,660
hit Kreuger over the head
and held him under the water.
587
00:38:55,734 --> 00:38:59,932
- I was in Las Vegas. I can prove it.
- Whoever it was wouldn't be missedfor a few minutes.
588
00:39:00,004 --> 00:39:03,940
They could've come back here
after the party and moved the body. I'm getting out of here.
589
00:39:04,008 --> 00:39:08,468
Where are you going?
Phil was murdered in this room.
590
00:39:08,546 --> 00:39:12,346
It gives me the creeps.
I'm checking into a motel.
591
00:39:12,417 --> 00:39:14,408
[Sighs]
592
00:39:14,486 --> 00:39:17,216
Interesting theory, Mrs. Fletcher.
593
00:39:17,288 --> 00:39:20,052
It opens up the field.
594
00:39:20,125 --> 00:39:22,593
So, who did it?
595
00:39:22,660 --> 00:39:25,595
Well, that part may be
very difficult to prove.
596
00:39:26,664 --> 00:39:31,727
[Man Announcing] Can the tragedy-struckLeopards overcome the odds and breaktheir four-game losing streak?
597
00:39:31,803 --> 00:39:33,794
Smart money says no.
598
00:39:33,872 --> 00:39:37,239
Stay tuned for the pregame showright after these commercial messages.
599
00:39:37,308 --> 00:39:39,868
All right, you guys.
600
00:39:39,944 --> 00:39:41,935
Listen up.
601
00:39:43,581 --> 00:39:45,776
I'm gonna make this short.
602
00:39:46,785 --> 00:39:48,719
You all know
what happened this week,
603
00:39:49,721 --> 00:39:53,452
but that doesn't mean a damn thing
once we get on that field.
604
00:40:00,465 --> 00:40:02,865
Everybody's figurin' us
for a bunch of losers.
605
00:40:04,469 --> 00:40:06,437
Maybe we are.
606
00:40:07,439 --> 00:40:11,535
You guys are gonna have to
decide that for yourselves.
607
00:40:14,679 --> 00:40:16,670
That's all I got to say.
608
00:40:30,028 --> 00:40:31,962
Barney.
609
00:40:32,030 --> 00:40:33,964
Clyde Pace.
610
00:40:34,032 --> 00:40:36,557
What's my limit?
611
00:40:36,634 --> 00:40:39,068
I'd give my left arm
to be out there with the guys.
612
00:40:39,137 --> 00:40:41,435
Oh, I think Coach Pattillo
was using reverse psychology.
613
00:40:41,506 --> 00:40:43,736
[Clyde]
I just hope it isn't a laugher.
614
00:40:45,009 --> 00:40:48,911
Oh, good luck.
Don't you worry, Mrs. Fletcher. We're gonna win this one for you.
615
00:40:48,980 --> 00:40:50,971
[Chuckles]
616
00:41:13,471 --> 00:41:16,907
[Announcer]The Leopards needed a first downalmost as much as they needed Zak Farrell.
617
00:41:16,975 --> 00:41:19,967
They're having one of those days
when nothing seems to go right.
618
00:41:20,044 --> 00:41:22,945
Now that they've got the ball,
let's see what they can do with it.
619
00:41:23,014 --> 00:41:26,745
So far they've fumbled it twice,
lost it to interception and missed a field goal.
620
00:41:27,752 --> 00:41:30,516
[Phone Rings]
621
00:41:30,588 --> 00:41:32,647
[Announcer]It's airborne!
622
00:41:32,724 --> 00:41:34,658
And the pass is complete.
623
00:41:34,726 --> 00:41:37,160
Telephone for you, Mr. McCord.
I'm watching the game here.
624
00:41:37,228 --> 00:41:41,722
They said it was an emergency.
[Announcer] Hacklemer is on his way. He goes out of bounds on the 20 yard line.
625
00:41:41,799 --> 00:41:43,733
This better be good.
626
00:41:44,802 --> 00:41:48,260
McCord.
[Woman With Nasally Voice] Mr. McCord, this is Sylvia at the cleaners.
627
00:41:48,339 --> 00:41:52,002
Who?
The cleaners. The boss won't let me go home until I tell you.
628
00:41:52,076 --> 00:41:55,773
Tell me what?
That jacket you brought in has one brass button missing.
629
00:41:55,847 --> 00:42:00,807
What?
The boss was very insistent that I tell you it was missing when you brought it in.
630
00:42:00,885 --> 00:42:03,012
So's you won't think that we lost it.
631
00:42:03,087 --> 00:42:05,681
I understand.
Thank you for the call. You're welcome.
632
00:42:05,757 --> 00:42:09,454
[Announcer]And it's sack time. We'll never knowwhat Rhodes intended to do with the ball.
633
00:42:09,527 --> 00:42:12,621
It looked like he couldn'tmake up his mind and simply held onto it.
634
00:42:25,376 --> 00:42:27,367
[Nasally Voice]Looking for this?
635
00:42:34,285 --> 00:42:36,515
The lady from the cleaners.
636
00:42:36,588 --> 00:42:39,250
I had a chat with your butler.
637
00:42:39,324 --> 00:42:42,919
With a little encouragement,
he told me he'd taken your blazer to the cleaners.
638
00:42:42,994 --> 00:42:45,485
And the cleaners told you
a button was missing?
639
00:42:45,563 --> 00:42:47,929
Actually, no.
640
00:42:47,999 --> 00:42:50,490
This one belongs to me.
641
00:42:50,568 --> 00:42:52,502
You never lost one at all.
642
00:42:52,570 --> 00:42:54,504
That part I made up.
643
00:42:54,572 --> 00:42:59,066
- To see if I'd take the bait?
- Only one place you'd come looking for it.
644
00:42:59,143 --> 00:43:01,338
Where you murdered Mr. Kreuger.
645
00:43:02,413 --> 00:43:05,905
I am very impressed,
Mrs. Fletcher. Oh, don't be.
646
00:43:05,984 --> 00:43:08,748
This really wasn't an original idea.
647
00:43:08,820 --> 00:43:12,916
When I was in Los Angeles,
a button actually did trip up a killer.
648
00:43:12,991 --> 00:43:14,925
I thought it might work again.
649
00:43:14,993 --> 00:43:17,723
Well, it seems
I've underestimated your tenacity.
650
00:43:17,795 --> 00:43:22,323
[Chuckles]
It takes more than locking me in a steam room to scare me off.
651
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:24,391
I'll remember that in the future.
652
00:43:24,469 --> 00:43:26,596
Still want to buy my shares?
[Chuckles]
653
00:43:26,671 --> 00:43:28,605
So I wanted a football team.
654
00:43:28,673 --> 00:43:30,641
Every man should have a hobby.
655
00:43:31,643 --> 00:43:35,340
I had managed quietly
to buy up the other 48%, but Kreuger wouldn't sell.
656
00:43:35,413 --> 00:43:38,576
Fundamental.
Eliminate the competition.
657
00:43:39,584 --> 00:43:43,850
That was very clever
getting rid of Zak Farrell's contract in the same stroke.
658
00:43:43,921 --> 00:43:48,449
Well, Lockwood told me
about the pressure Kreuger was putting on Zak about the kid.
659
00:43:48,526 --> 00:43:52,292
So I knew he'd start a fight
at the party. I already had the watch.
660
00:43:52,363 --> 00:43:55,196
I was going to do it after the party.
661
00:43:55,266 --> 00:43:58,360
But the game plan changed
when Kreuger went home.
662
00:43:58,436 --> 00:44:01,405
You have to take advantage
of the turnovers.
663
00:44:01,472 --> 00:44:03,531
Left me with a tighter alibi.
664
00:44:03,608 --> 00:44:08,375
Kreuger was already dead
when you typed that note and left it on the door for Zak.
665
00:44:08,446 --> 00:44:11,813
I had to type it twice.
The first one got wet.
666
00:44:11,883 --> 00:44:14,181
I'm curious about one thing.
667
00:44:14,252 --> 00:44:16,220
How did you figure it out?
668
00:44:16,287 --> 00:44:20,087
Partly luck, partly deduction.
669
00:44:20,158 --> 00:44:23,855
I realized you couldn't
drown a man like Kreuger without getting wet...
670
00:44:23,928 --> 00:44:25,862
even if he were unconscious.
671
00:44:25,930 --> 00:44:28,524
Suddenly it came to me.
672
00:44:28,599 --> 00:44:30,590
You changed your blazer.
673
00:44:33,204 --> 00:44:35,195
I didn't think it would be
that noticeable.
674
00:44:35,273 --> 00:44:38,037
Blame it on Tank Mason's camera.
675
00:44:39,143 --> 00:44:41,236
He tacked these up
on the bulletin board.
676
00:44:41,312 --> 00:44:45,043
You were wearing
a single-breasted blazer when I arrived...
677
00:44:45,116 --> 00:44:48,882
and a double-breasted blazer
later on in the party.
678
00:44:48,953 --> 00:44:51,751
Conclusion:
You got the first one wet.
679
00:44:51,823 --> 00:44:56,317
I suppose you waited
until after the party to move the body.
680
00:44:57,328 --> 00:44:59,558
The key to his private entrance
was in his pocket.
681
00:44:59,630 --> 00:45:02,929
We made quite a mess here.
Had a devil of a time cleaning it up.
682
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:06,060
Yes. The carpet is wet.
No plan is perfect.
683
00:45:06,137 --> 00:45:08,071
One has to keep improvising.
684
00:45:09,140 --> 00:45:11,438
Are you planning
to drown me too?
685
00:45:13,511 --> 00:45:17,641
No. I think they'll find you in the ashes
when this house burns down.
686
00:45:20,685 --> 00:45:23,745
Well, time does fly,
and I want to get back to the game.
687
00:45:23,821 --> 00:45:25,982
Hold it right there, McCord.
688
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:33,758
I have nothing to say
till I've seen my attorney. Seems like you already said it all.
689
00:45:35,233 --> 00:45:38,100
Book him.
Murder one.
690
00:45:40,805 --> 00:45:43,103
I think the price of my stock
just hit bottom.
691
00:45:43,174 --> 00:45:45,870
Mrs. Fletcher,
did you have to stand there and keep talkin'?
692
00:45:45,943 --> 00:45:49,379
We've missed most of the second half.
Now there's no time to get back there now.
693
00:45:49,447 --> 00:45:51,813
[Announcer]You'll never see another endinglike that, fans.
694
00:45:51,883 --> 00:45:53,817
With the Leopards down 21-7,
695
00:45:53,885 --> 00:45:55,910
a minute and 30 seconds left
on the clock,
696
00:45:55,987 --> 00:45:58,581
the Leopards score on
a 72-yard bomb.
697
00:45:58,656 --> 00:46:01,318
On the kickoff Tank Masonknocks the ball loose... They won.
698
00:46:01,392 --> 00:46:03,326
That's wonderful.
Yeah.
699
00:46:03,394 --> 00:46:07,524
Then the Leopards recover their ownonside kickoff and score a field goal... Yeah, that's just wonderful.
700
00:46:14,605 --> 00:46:17,165
Take it easy.
701
00:46:24,081 --> 00:46:26,015
She drives just like you.
702
00:46:26,083 --> 00:46:30,144
Naturally. If she's gonna be
the first female quarterback, she's gonna have to be fast.
703
00:46:33,391 --> 00:46:35,586
[Chuckling]
704
00:46:35,660 --> 00:46:39,687
Well, that was a very exciting ride.
705
00:46:39,764 --> 00:46:42,892
Zak, I understand you're gonna
try your hand at management.
706
00:46:42,967 --> 00:46:46,869
Well, I've decided to throw in
with Pattillo and some others and buy Mavis's stock.
707
00:46:46,938 --> 00:46:49,668
It isn't gonna be like playing,
but I'm still in the game.
708
00:46:49,740 --> 00:46:52,504
Uh, we're gonna be
sort of partners, Jessica.
709
00:46:52,577 --> 00:46:55,478
I'm afraid not, Zak.
710
00:46:55,546 --> 00:46:59,744
I really have to concentrate
on my writing in Cabot Cove.
711
00:46:59,817 --> 00:47:03,583
And, you know,
I don't think I'll ever understand the finer points of football.
712
00:47:03,654 --> 00:47:06,248
You're not selling your stock.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
713
00:47:06,324 --> 00:47:09,020
No. I've arranged
to put my stock in trust...
714
00:47:09,093 --> 00:47:11,027
forJill.
715
00:47:13,030 --> 00:47:15,362
Oh.
L... I don't know what to say.
716
00:47:15,433 --> 00:47:17,367
How can we thank you?
717
00:47:17,435 --> 00:47:20,927
Well, there's no time for that,
and I have to catch my plane.
718
00:47:21,005 --> 00:47:23,997
Now you and your father
are going to be partners,
719
00:47:24,075 --> 00:47:28,205
so will you write to me
and tell me how he's doing?
720
00:47:28,255 --> 00:47:32,805
