Lfind this town- the atmosphere- terrifying.
It feels as if it's going to explode.
2
00:00:05,472 --> 00:00:07,440
[Woman]Tonight on Murder, She Wrote.
3
00:00:07,508 --> 00:00:09,772
I have got a full-scale
lynch mob gathering out there.
4
00:00:09,843 --> 00:00:13,108
- Sheriff-
- Go to the hotel, lock yourself in your room and don't come out till this is over.
5
00:00:13,180 --> 00:00:16,775
You ain't gonna cause
a little trouble, are ya, Ed? [Chuckling]
6
00:00:16,850 --> 00:00:19,751
My bailiwick
is magnolias and decadence. Yours is murder.
7
00:00:19,820 --> 00:00:21,583
Matt Burns killed my boy.
8
00:00:21,655 --> 00:00:23,953
I'll kill him!
I don't care if he is your brother!
9
00:00:24,024 --> 00:00:27,551
You better come out here
with Matt Burns, or we're gonna come in there after him!
10
00:01:42,870 --> 00:01:48,137
Oh, Ames, I'm so grateful to you
for inviting me to loll around your estate for a few days.
11
00:01:48,208 --> 00:01:51,871
You know, that writer's conference
really wore me out.
12
00:01:51,945 --> 00:01:57,508
Nonsense. You loved it.And they loved you,he admitted enviously.
13
00:01:57,584 --> 00:02:01,384
Your seminars were
packed to the roof, while mine-
14
00:02:01,455 --> 00:02:04,549
Ah, to be famous and adored
instead of merely brilliant.
15
00:02:04,625 --> 00:02:06,559
[Laughing]
Oh, yes, of course.
16
00:02:06,627 --> 00:02:08,561
[Engine Sputtering]
Uh-oh.
17
00:02:14,735 --> 00:02:18,000
[Engine Cranking]
What is it?
18
00:02:19,306 --> 00:02:22,639
I may be a brilliant writer, Jessica,
but I'm certainly no mechanic.
19
00:02:22,709 --> 00:02:25,974
[Jessica]Look! We're in luck.What?
20
00:02:34,721 --> 00:02:36,655
Afternoon. Trouble, sir?
21
00:02:36,723 --> 00:02:40,819
Oh, the worst kind. We've been
reduced to helpless immobility.
22
00:02:40,894 --> 00:02:44,694
Well, I'm afraid I wouldn't know
where to start with a car like that.
23
00:02:44,765 --> 00:02:48,360
Hooksville's about a mile down the road.
I could radio for a tow truck.
24
00:02:48,435 --> 00:02:51,700
Oh, that's very kind.
Thank you very much. My pleasure.
25
00:02:53,774 --> 00:02:55,366
Polly, this is Sheriff Cox.
26
00:02:57,311 --> 00:02:59,245
What do you think?
27
00:02:59,313 --> 00:03:01,804
Float?
Fuel pump.
28
00:03:01,882 --> 00:03:05,045
I don't suppose it's repairable.
Uh, no, sir.
29
00:03:05,118 --> 00:03:08,053
But first thing in the mornin'
we can send to Birmingham and get you a new one.
30
00:03:08,121 --> 00:03:12,751
Obviously, the good Lord
created this machine to keep me humble.
31
00:03:12,826 --> 00:03:15,761
Well, we passed a hotel
on the way in.
32
00:03:15,829 --> 00:03:17,922
The Hotel Imperialjust down the road there.
33
00:03:17,998 --> 00:03:22,935
Oh, yeah. Mrs. Burns runs that.
She's a real fine lady. It's good food too.
34
00:03:23,003 --> 00:03:27,940
We'll need two singles.
My name is Caulfield, and this is Mrs. Fletcher.
35
00:03:28,008 --> 00:03:29,942
Hello.
Hello.
36
00:03:30,010 --> 00:03:34,606
I have, uh, two adjoining, sir,
in a private wing on the second floor.
37
00:03:34,681 --> 00:03:37,275
[Chuckles] Thank you.
That's very flattering.
38
00:03:39,019 --> 00:03:40,953
Good evening.
39
00:03:41,021 --> 00:03:43,012
Good evening.
[Laughs]
40
00:03:45,959 --> 00:03:47,483
Cassie?
41
00:03:48,662 --> 00:03:52,223
- Cassie Latham?
- Professor Caulfield.
42
00:03:54,034 --> 00:03:58,437
My God, it is you!
I can't believe it.
43
00:03:58,505 --> 00:04:01,440
I'm just as surprised as you are,
Professor, believe me.
44
00:04:01,508 --> 00:04:04,739
Jessica, I want you
to meet a very dear lady and a former student.
45
00:04:04,811 --> 00:04:06,745
Cassie Latham,
Jessica Fletcher.
46
00:04:06,813 --> 00:04:09,748
I'm delighted to meet you.
Oh, nice to meet you.
47
00:04:09,816 --> 00:04:12,410
Burns. I'm Mrs. Burns.
48
00:04:12,486 --> 00:04:15,978
Oh, well, after some 20 years,
49
00:04:16,056 --> 00:04:18,820
one can expect some changes.
50
00:04:18,892 --> 00:04:21,326
When do I meet
this husband of yours?
51
00:04:21,395 --> 00:04:24,523
Oh, Harold died many years ago,
I'm sorry to say.
52
00:04:24,598 --> 00:04:26,862
Oh, Cassie, l- I am sorry.
53
00:04:26,933 --> 00:04:29,163
[Door Opens]Hey, Mom!
54
00:04:29,236 --> 00:04:32,637
Sorry to butt in.
I need ten bucks for gas. I don't get paid till tonight.
55
00:04:32,706 --> 00:04:36,836
Matt, this is...
a very famous author.
56
00:04:36,910 --> 00:04:40,607
Professor Ames Caulfield.This is my son, Matthew.
57
00:04:40,681 --> 00:04:45,380
Hi, Professor. I think I read
a couple of your books. Uh, Shenandoah Legacy?
58
00:04:45,452 --> 00:04:48,888
Well, now I am impressed.
59
00:04:48,955 --> 00:04:51,890
Not only a musician,
but literate as well.
60
00:04:51,958 --> 00:04:55,621
Oh, may I introduceMrs. Jessica Fletcher, a fellow writer.
61
00:04:55,696 --> 00:04:58,028
J.B. Fletcher.
Hello, Matthew.
62
00:04:58,098 --> 00:05:00,362
- My pleasure, ma'am.
- Oh.
63
00:05:01,435 --> 00:05:03,562
Now don't forget
to put this back.
64
00:05:03,637 --> 00:05:06,731
And, Matt, be sure that Mr. Kelso
pays you for this evening.
65
00:05:06,807 --> 00:05:09,742
You're a professional.
And you should be treated as such. Mom, don't worry about it.
66
00:05:09,810 --> 00:05:11,744
Are you performing locally,
Matthew?
67
00:05:11,812 --> 00:05:15,179
Yeah, a roadside dive named Kelso's
just outside of town.
68
00:05:15,248 --> 00:05:18,684
It's not the greatest,but it's good experience.
69
00:05:18,752 --> 00:05:21,983
Well, I gotta go. Nice to meet you.
You, too, ma'am.
70
00:05:25,025 --> 00:05:27,960
Well, uh, I have work
I have to tend to.
71
00:05:28,028 --> 00:05:30,326
Perhaps we could talk later,
Professor.
72
00:05:30,397 --> 00:05:32,331
Perhaps so.
73
00:05:32,399 --> 00:05:35,061
Excuse me.
74
00:05:41,508 --> 00:05:43,499
Thank you.
75
00:05:47,981 --> 00:05:51,417
6:15.Jessica, would you
mind an early supper?
76
00:05:51,485 --> 00:05:54,921
Oh, not at all.
I thought I might catch up on my reading this evening.
77
00:05:54,988 --> 00:05:58,515
Hooksville looks like
a perfect place to turn in early. Oh, I had the same idea.
78
00:05:58,592 --> 00:06:01,993
Good. Knock on my door
once you've freshened up. I'm right across the hall.
79
00:06:02,062 --> 00:06:04,053
Fine. See you later.
80
00:06:05,365 --> 00:06:08,357
[Crowd Chattering, Laughing][Country]
81
00:06:19,613 --> 00:06:21,547
Be with you in a minute.
82
00:06:21,615 --> 00:06:23,606
Here you go.
83
00:06:26,686 --> 00:06:28,677
Thank you.
84
00:06:34,895 --> 00:06:36,886
Another pitcher?
85
00:06:42,969 --> 00:06:46,905
Frank, I need another pitcher
and a bowl of chips.
86
00:06:46,973 --> 00:06:51,637
How many times I gotta tell you, honey?
You stay away from the paid entertainment.
87
00:06:53,980 --> 00:06:56,414
Stay off my back, Frank.
88
00:07:12,265 --> 00:07:17,464
It's called a Webley-Fosbery.
Used to be made in England. Semiautomatic revolver.
89
00:07:17,537 --> 00:07:19,528
Sure is a big sucker, Frank.
Mmm.
90
00:07:19,606 --> 00:07:21,938
Takes a.455-caliber slug.
91
00:07:23,143 --> 00:07:25,304
You ever seen anything like this?
92
00:07:27,013 --> 00:07:30,176
Steel-jacketed pointed slug.
Hoo-whee!
93
00:07:30,250 --> 00:07:33,276
A man could cut himself
on that thing. Mmm.
94
00:07:33,353 --> 00:07:36,345
Evenin'.
Get you somethin'?
95
00:07:36,423 --> 00:07:38,357
A bourbon and water, please.
96
00:07:49,336 --> 00:07:52,499
You don't care
what you do to a car. Do you, Ed, huh?
97
00:07:52,572 --> 00:07:55,507
I bust this baby up,
I'll just get me another one, that's all.
98
00:07:55,575 --> 00:07:58,203
Billy, you're buyin'
the first round. I just bought the last one.
99
00:07:58,278 --> 00:08:01,076
You want us to leave you home
next time? All right, Ed.
100
00:08:02,082 --> 00:08:05,074
[Applause][Woman Laughing]
101
00:08:20,567 --> 00:08:23,593
- Evenin', Ed.
- Evenin', Elmore.
102
00:08:23,670 --> 00:08:26,935
Uh, we was just leavin'.
Set yourself down. Come on, honey.
103
00:08:27,007 --> 00:08:29,498
- Elmore.
- I said, come on!
104
00:08:29,576 --> 00:08:31,908
- [Mocking]Elmore! - Here you go.
105
00:08:35,882 --> 00:08:37,816
Hey, Linda.
106
00:08:37,884 --> 00:08:40,648
Well, you're startin'
early tonight, aren't you, Ed?
107
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,848
Now, now, Sis.
I told you I don't need no mama.
108
00:08:45,158 --> 00:08:48,093
I was hopin' you'd come by the house, Ed.
Daddy'd sure like to see you.
109
00:08:48,161 --> 00:08:50,095
Would he now?
110
00:08:50,163 --> 00:08:53,291
Well, as I recall, that wasn't exactly
the gist of the last conversation we had.
111
00:08:53,366 --> 00:08:58,531
Ed, you're the one that's
gonna have to make the first move. You know Daddy can't.
112
00:08:58,605 --> 00:09:01,597
Look, will you stop tryin' to
hold the family together.
113
00:09:01,675 --> 00:09:03,609
There ain't no family left.
114
00:09:03,677 --> 00:09:07,113
[Matthew Singing]
115
00:09:12,185 --> 00:09:15,450
He ain't family either, Linda.
116
00:09:17,290 --> 00:09:22,353
Stay out of my life, Ed.
Well, then, stay outta mine. Beer and three burgers.
117
00:09:22,429 --> 00:09:24,420
Fine.
118
00:09:26,933 --> 00:09:28,924
[Laughing]
[Making Kissing Sound]
119
00:09:31,004 --> 00:09:34,064
Listen, uh, I think I'm gonna go have
a little talk with that guitar picker.
120
00:09:34,140 --> 00:09:38,133
- Billy, you make sure Kelso
don't get in the way. - Sure, Ed.
121
00:09:41,214 --> 00:09:44,274
You ain't gonna cause
a little trouble, are ya, Ed?
122
00:09:44,351 --> 00:09:46,683
[Both Laughing]
123
00:09:52,359 --> 00:09:55,351
Hey, Mr. Burns!
You call that singing?
124
00:09:56,630 --> 00:10:00,122
Now, will you listen to that.
Isn't that pretty? You write that yourself, Mr. Burns?
125
00:10:01,501 --> 00:10:03,765
My, my, you sure are talented.
126
00:10:03,837 --> 00:10:07,034
Touch that gun,
and I'll cut you real good.
127
00:10:07,107 --> 00:10:10,543
Fact is, though, I got a hound dog
makes prettier noises than that.
128
00:10:13,747 --> 00:10:16,375
That's better.
129
00:10:16,449 --> 00:10:20,977
Now, uh, Mr. Burns,
I don't want to catch you playin' around here ever again.
130
00:10:21,054 --> 00:10:23,989
And about my sister-
she may be a little bit of a tramp,
131
00:10:24,057 --> 00:10:26,651
but, uh, she deserves
a lot better than you.
132
00:10:27,627 --> 00:10:30,221
[Shouting, Grunting]
133
00:10:30,296 --> 00:10:32,161
Private quarrel, mister.
134
00:10:49,449 --> 00:10:51,815
What's goin' on?
135
00:10:51,885 --> 00:10:57,482
Ed! Stop it! Ed, you stop it!
Leave him alone. Leave him alone.
136
00:10:57,557 --> 00:11:00,651
All right! Take it easy. All right?
Don't get yourself so worked up.
137
00:11:00,727 --> 00:11:03,662
Get out of here!
Get out! Out!
138
00:11:03,730 --> 00:11:05,664
Don't get yourself so worked up.
139
00:11:05,732 --> 00:11:08,667
Don't forget what I said,
guitar picker.
140
00:11:08,735 --> 00:11:11,033
Out, Ed!
141
00:11:17,177 --> 00:11:20,340
Oh, Matt, I'm sorry.
You okay?
142
00:11:25,552 --> 00:11:27,486
Matt, please wait.
You can't let him get to you.
143
00:11:27,554 --> 00:11:29,613
I'll kill him.
I don't care if he is your brother.
144
00:11:29,689 --> 00:11:32,624
He does that to me again,
I swear to God, I'll kill him.
145
00:11:32,692 --> 00:11:35,627
Where you going, Matt?
Please stay here. Leave me alone!
146

Oh, Jessica.
152
00:12:55,175 --> 00:12:57,109
Jessica,
something terrible has happened.
153
00:12:57,177 --> 00:12:59,839
It's Matt. Matthew.
Cassie's son.
154
00:12:59,913 --> 00:13:03,007
There was a killing last night
and Matt's being held. Oh, good Lord!
155
00:13:03,082 --> 00:13:07,314
I'm going over and see the sheriff
and see if I can find out something else. Will you come with me?
156
00:13:07,387 --> 00:13:10,322
Oh, yes, of course.
The young boy needs all the help he can get.
157
00:13:10,390 --> 00:13:14,656
You'd better file those charges,
Cox, and quick. It's obvious that boy's guilty.
158
00:13:14,727 --> 00:13:17,059
Look, Mr. Bonner.
Don't touch me!
159
00:13:17,130 --> 00:13:20,099
Look, I'm sorry
you lost your son. Don't give me that hogwash, fella.
160

I know you hated Ed's guts.
No, sir!

Your boy and I had our differences,
but I was just doing my job.
162
00:13:25,205 --> 00:13:27,867
Do it now. You got the evidence.
File the charges.
163
00:13:27,941 --> 00:13:30,501
The evidence is circumstantial.
164
00:13:30,577 --> 00:13:35,071
Son, you want to keep that badge,
you better learn your job real quick.
165
00:13:35,148 --> 00:13:39,881
Folks hereabouts know
how the law's supposed to operate, and they're gonna make damn sure it does.
166
00:13:49,796 --> 00:13:52,162
[Radio: Dispatcher, Indistinct]
167
00:13:56,302 --> 00:13:58,236
Sheriff.
Good morning.
168
00:13:58,304 --> 00:14:02,240
- Did you get your car fixed?
- I'm waiting for a part.
169
00:14:02,308 --> 00:14:05,505
My name is Ames Caulfield.
I'm a friend of Cassie Burns.
170
00:14:05,578 --> 00:14:08,103
With your indulgence,
I'd like to talk to her son.
171
00:14:08,181 --> 00:14:13,118
I'm sorry, Mr. Caulfield, but I've advised
Mrs. Burns to find herself a good lawyer.
172
00:14:13,186 --> 00:14:15,620
Until then,
no one sees the prisoner.
173
00:14:15,688 --> 00:14:17,713
Oh? Then he is under arrest?
174
00:14:17,790 --> 00:14:22,250
- And you are?
- Oh, I'm a friend of a friend of the family.
175
00:14:22,328 --> 00:14:24,262
Mrs. Fletcher and I
drove up from Montgomery,
176
00:14:24,330 --> 00:14:26,457
where we had dinner
with the governor two nights ago.
177
00:14:26,532 --> 00:14:30,468
Well, maybe you ought to
ask the governor for the key to that cell.
178
00:14:30,536 --> 00:14:34,973
Sheriff Cox, I am aware that youare working under tremendous pressure.
179
00:14:35,041 --> 00:14:36,975
Believe me, we only want to help.
180
00:14:37,043 --> 00:14:40,410
Perhaps if you could tell us
the circumstances of the killing.
181
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:44,439
You mean, before you have the governor
call in the National Guard?
182
00:14:45,985 --> 00:14:48,818
Ma'am, I'll give it to youshort and sweet.
183
00:14:48,888 --> 00:14:54,053
Last night, around 11:00,
Matt Burns was publicly humiliated by the victim at Kelso's bar.
184
00:14:54,127 --> 00:14:56,789
- I believe you were there, Mr. Caulfield.
- That's right.
185
00:14:56,863 --> 00:15:00,264
Reverend Whitewas asleep at the rectory...
186
00:15:00,333 --> 00:15:03,131
when a loud scream
woke him up at around 2:15 a.m.
187
00:15:03,202 --> 00:15:06,069
He thought it came from the direction
of Ed Bonner's house.
188
00:15:06,139 --> 00:15:07,936
We responded to the call.
189
00:15:08,007 --> 00:15:13,001
We, uh, found Ed Bonner lyingin the front yard stabbed to death.
190
00:15:13,079 --> 00:15:15,013
Excuse me-hacked to death.
191
00:15:15,081 --> 00:15:19,518
Someone had stabbed him
in the chest repeatedly, as if in an insane rage.
192
00:15:19,585 --> 00:15:21,519
Well, that doesn't mean-
193
00:15:21,587 --> 00:15:26,524
As soon as we learned about the fight
at Kelso's, we drove to the Burns house across the river west of town.
194
00:15:26,592 --> 00:15:31,256
Got there around 4:30.Matt Burns was in the kitchenfully dressed.
195
00:15:31,331 --> 00:15:36,496
He claims he'd been up by Crystal Lakeand got home only a minute or twobefore we arrived.
196
00:15:36,569 --> 00:15:39,470
- Perhaps someone saw him there.
- He was there alone.
197
00:15:39,539 --> 00:15:41,473
Thinking, he says.
198
00:15:41,541 --> 00:15:46,137
Shortly after daybreak,
we searched the premises and discovered a bloody hunting knife...
199
00:15:46,212 --> 00:15:50,308
and a pair of blood-stained gloves
freshly buried in the garden back of the house.
200
00:15:50,383 --> 00:15:53,216
I'm sorry, Sheriff,but something doesn't make sense.
201
00:15:53,286 --> 00:15:55,811
And whatmight that be, ma'am?
202
00:15:55,888 --> 00:16:01,121
Well, if the killing took place here,
near the church, as you said-
203
00:16:01,194 --> 00:16:06,131
- Yes?
- And Matt Burns's house is way over west across the river over here someplace-
204
00:16:06,199 --> 00:16:10,135
I mean, why in the world didn't he toss
the incriminating evidence into the river...
205
00:16:10,203 --> 00:16:14,902
instead of taking it all the way home
and burying it in the garden where anyone could find it?
206
00:16:14,974 --> 00:16:18,171
Uh, the same thought
occurred to me, ma'am.
207
00:16:18,244 --> 00:16:20,712
Finding the knife and gloves
was too easy.
208
00:16:20,780 --> 00:16:23,840
- That's one reason
I haven't pressed charges. - One reason?
209
00:16:23,916 --> 00:16:29,252
If you kill a man
the way Ed Bonner was slaughtered, you're gonna water the lawn with blood.
210
00:16:29,322 --> 00:16:31,756
But there wasn't much there
to speak of.
211
00:16:31,824 --> 00:16:34,520
Well, what are you saying, Sheriff?
212
00:16:34,594 --> 00:16:38,530
I'm not sure, but Doc Frazier,the local coroner, is checking it out.
213
00:16:38,598 --> 00:16:42,227
Sheriff, obviously someone's
trying to frame Matt Burns for murder.
214
00:16:42,301 --> 00:16:46,294
- There is that possibility.
- But you can't hold him here indefinitely.
215
00:16:46,372 --> 00:16:51,002
Mrs. Fletcher, believe me,the boy is safer here than out on that street.
216
00:16:51,077 --> 00:16:54,410
Are you suggesting-
This is a small town,Mrs. Fletcher.
217
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,414
Folks here are very close.
218
00:16:56,482 --> 00:17:01,181
And even if the town
didn't have much use for Ed Bonner, his father is a very well loved man.
219
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,294
Mornin', Frank.
Mornin', Charlie.
220
00:17:18,838 --> 00:17:21,602
Guess you heard
about Ed Bonner, huh? Huh.
221
00:17:21,674 --> 00:17:24,336
Soon as I got up.
222
00:17:24,410 --> 00:17:27,641
I hear the sheriff's
lettin' him go.
223
00:17:27,713 --> 00:17:29,647
You gotta be kiddin' me.
224
00:17:29,715 --> 00:17:32,980
I told you that colored college boy
we got for a sheriff was no damn good.
225
00:17:33,052 --> 00:17:34,986
[Grunts]
What you got there?
226
00:17:35,054 --> 00:17:37,488
A little letter from the wife?
227
00:17:37,557 --> 00:17:40,788
Not today.
Heard from her Tuesday.
228
00:17:40,860 --> 00:17:43,795
Yeah? Jolene still visitin'
her mama in Shreveport?
229
00:17:43,863 --> 00:17:45,797
Uh-huh.
230
00:17:45,865 --> 00:17:49,801
Oh, I expect she'll be home pretty soon,
just as soon as her mama's feelin' better.
231
00:17:49,869 --> 00:17:53,236
Yeah, right, Frank.
Well, I'll see you boys.
232
00:17:56,476 --> 00:18:00,344
Jolene is tendin' to somebody's needs,
all right, but it sure ain't her mama.
233
00:18:00,413 --> 00:18:02,404
[Laughing]
234
00:18:04,984 --> 00:18:07,009
Where is everyone?
I'm sorry.
235
00:18:07,086 --> 00:18:11,785
Oh, Mr. Caulfield. Mrs. Burns asked meto tell you she's gone to her houseand to come by as soon as you're able.
236
00:18:11,858 --> 00:18:13,792
I can give you directions.
237
00:18:13,860 --> 00:18:15,794
Oh, that won't be necessary.
238
00:18:15,862 --> 00:18:18,956
Forgive me, Jessica.
I've got to call on Cassie. I'll see you later.
239
00:18:19,031 --> 00:18:20,965
All right.
240
00:18:21,033 --> 00:18:22,967
Ames.
241
00:18:23,035 --> 00:18:26,004
Last night, at that bar,
is there anything that you remember-
242
00:18:26,072 --> 00:18:29,599
something you might have
seen or heard after the fight?
243
00:18:29,675 --> 00:18:34,169
I'm sorry. I was so upset
that when it happened, I came right back here and went to bed.
244
00:18:34,247 --> 00:18:36,647
You will excuse me.
245
00:18:37,717 --> 00:18:40,845
[Door Opens, Closes]
246
00:18:43,856 --> 00:18:47,553
That no-account sheriff.
Shoot, he got no business wearin' a badge.
247
00:18:47,627 --> 00:18:49,561
Aw, just simmer down, Billy.
248
00:18:49,629 --> 00:18:52,564
Ah, Billy's right.
Way it's goin' don't make no sense.
249
00:18:52,632 --> 00:18:56,193
Matt Burns oughta be under arrest
instead of hidin' out in one of them cells.
250
00:18:56,269 --> 00:18:58,260
[Horn Honks]
251
00:19:03,643 --> 00:19:06,237
Howdy, boys.
Howdy. Howdy.
252
00:19:06,312 --> 00:19:11,750
Well, I heard there was
a party goin' on down here,
253
00:19:11,817 --> 00:19:17,483
and I just figured
that it'd be bad manners to come empty-handed.
254
00:19:17,557 --> 00:19:20,048
Y'all help yourselves.
[Chattering]
255
00:19:22,929 --> 00:19:25,921
Now, that's what I call neighborly.
256
00:19:32,004 --> 00:19:37,806
Andy, I was, uh,
real sorry to hear about Ed,
257
00:19:37,877 --> 00:19:41,973
seein' hows you boys
were so close- like brothers and all.
258
00:19:42,048 --> 00:19:44,278
Just shut up, Kelso.
259
00:19:44,350 --> 00:19:47,786
Aw, Andy, I'm just tryin' to
express my condolences.
260
00:19:47,853 --> 00:19:52,449
You didn't give a damn about Ed.
Everybody knew that you hated his guts.
261
00:19:52,525 --> 00:19:54,459
Well, now, son-
262
00:19:54,527 --> 00:19:59,260
Look, everybody knows that Ed
was bunkin' down your old lady before she left town, Frank.
263
00:20:00,333 --> 00:20:03,359
By the way, how is ol'Jolene?
264
00:20:03,436 --> 00:20:06,894
She still in Shreveport
takin' care of her sick mama?
265
00:20:07,974 --> 00:20:10,101
That's right.
Yeah.
266
00:20:13,846 --> 00:20:18,579
Well, uh- [Chuckles]
I guess I better be goin', boys.
267
00:20:18,651 --> 00:20:21,779
You better take another look, Frank,
because she's not in Shreveport.
268
00:20:21,854 --> 00:20:24,322
I don't rightly know where she is,
269
00:20:24,390 --> 00:20:28,292
but wherever she is, she's shacked up
with that hardware salesman that came through town lastJanuary.
270
00:20:28,361 --> 00:20:30,659
You're a damn liar!
271
00:20:30,730 --> 00:20:32,664
That so?
272
00:20:32,732 --> 00:20:34,461
Andy's right, Mr. Kelso.
273
00:20:34,533 --> 00:20:36,467
Ed, he told us hisself.
274
00:20:36,535 --> 00:20:39,971
Saw your wife and that hardware fella
drivin' out of town together,
275
00:20:40,039 --> 00:20:42,633
just a-huggin' and a-kissin' in the car.

278
00:20:51,417 --> 00:20:53,351
I want you to get home, old man,
279
00:20:53,419 --> 00:20:57,321
and I don't want you near me mewlin'
about how you care about Ed Bonner.
280
00:20:57,390 --> 00:20:59,255
You hear me?
281
00:20:59,325 --> 00:21:01,350
I didn't hear your reply.
282
00:21:01,427 --> 00:21:03,861
Huh?
That's right, Andy.
283
00:21:03,929 --> 00:21:05,920
I hear you.
284
00:21:12,238 --> 00:21:15,833
Are you sure
about all this, Doc? I'm afraid so, Sheriff.
285
00:21:15,908 --> 00:21:17,842
Good morning, Sheriff.
286
00:21:17,910 --> 00:21:20,811
Oh, Mrs. Fletcher.
Mrs. Fletcher?
287
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:25,374
Mrs. Fletcher,
this is indeed an honor. I heard you were in town.
288
00:21:25,451 --> 00:21:28,045
You know this lady, Doc?
Only by reputation.
289
00:21:28,120 --> 00:21:32,716
Although I have not yet had the privilege
of reading your fine prose, ma'am,
290
00:21:32,792 --> 00:21:36,455
my wife reads herself to sleep
with one of your books every night.
291
00:21:36,529 --> 00:21:39,623
[Laughs]
I think I'll take that as a compliment.
292
00:21:39,699 --> 00:21:41,860
Allow me.
Thank you.
293
00:21:43,302 --> 00:21:48,399
I was just telling the sheriff that,
uh, the victim's body had been moved.
294
00:21:48,474 --> 00:21:52,808
Despite that so-called screamthe person heard, Ed died elsewhere.
295
00:21:52,878 --> 00:21:55,642
- Really?
- Mrs. Fletcher.
296
00:21:55,715 --> 00:21:58,843
Sheriff, is it possible
that the killer let out that scream...
297
00:21:58,918 --> 00:22:03,014
to obscure the time and placethat the murder actually occurred?
298
00:22:03,089 --> 00:22:08,425
- Ma'am, if you don't mind-
- Another thing. Those repeated stabbings- they occurred long after the body was dead.
299
00:22:08,494 --> 00:22:14,330
- Doc-
- Yes, I'd say Ed died at least an hour before the stabbings were inflicted.
300
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,858
Lord a'mighty, I'm late for lunch.
Irma will have my hide.
301
00:22:17,937 --> 00:22:20,770
A pleasure, ma'am.
Oh, for me too, Doctor.
302
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:25,209
Stabbin'dead bodies.I sure wish you luck on this one, Sheriff.
303
00:22:26,645 --> 00:22:28,738
[Sighs]
304
00:22:30,683 --> 00:22:34,016
Care to look? Why not?
305
00:22:35,921 --> 00:22:37,855
Thank you.
306
00:22:37,923 --> 00:22:39,788
Hmm, strange.
307
00:22:39,859 --> 00:22:41,793
Two lighters.
308
00:22:41,861 --> 00:22:44,295
Why would a man have two lighters?
309
00:22:44,363 --> 00:22:46,422
And they both work.
310
00:22:46,499 --> 00:22:48,364
Yeah, that is strange.
311
00:22:49,435 --> 00:22:51,096
Hmm.
312
00:22:51,170 --> 00:22:54,401
- The Cameron crest.
- What?
313
00:22:55,708 --> 00:23:00,441
That crest represents
the Cameron clan in Scotland.
314
00:23:00,513 --> 00:23:02,447
Are you sure about that?
315
00:23:02,515 --> 00:23:06,451
Oh, yes. I've researched dozensof those family crests...
316
00:23:06,519 --> 00:23:09,283
for a book I wrote.
317
00:23:09,355 --> 00:23:11,983
Does that name
mean anything to you?
318
00:23:13,159 --> 00:23:18,324
No, no. As far as I know, nobody
around these parts is named Cameron.

00:23:40,219 --> 00:23:42,687
So am I.
[Shouting, Hooting]
325
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,891
But right now I'm a little more
worried about Matt Burns.
326
00:23:51,964 --> 00:23:53,898
Yes. I think we both are.
327
00:23:53,966 --> 00:23:56,628
I was just talkin' to him
over at the jail.
328
00:23:56,702 --> 00:24:00,331
He's the one that told me that
you and Mr. Caulfield were good folks and that you wanted to help.
329
00:24:02,675 --> 00:24:07,044
Well, except for the sheriff,
in this town you might be the only ones that do.
330
00:24:07,112 --> 00:24:12,641
Look, I was, uh,
headin' out to my Daddy's farm. He might be able to stop that.
331
00:24:12,718 --> 00:24:17,018
Would you come with me?
I mean, I think there's some things you should know.
332
00:24:18,657 --> 00:24:20,648
All right.
333
00:24:30,769 --> 00:24:32,703
Uh, Ed moved out in January.
334
00:24:32,771 --> 00:24:35,706
He and my daddy
had this terrible fight.
335
00:24:35,774 --> 00:24:38,299
I know it was killing my dad.
336
00:24:38,377 --> 00:24:42,370
I mean, Ed was living in town.
He was throwin' these wild parties with his friends.
337
00:24:42,448 --> 00:24:48,148
You know, a lot of women, drinkin',
and throwin' around money he got from God knows where.
338
00:24:48,220 --> 00:24:51,519
These friends-would any one of them
have reason to kill him?
339
00:24:52,825 --> 00:24:57,319
I don't know that much about them,
except Andy Crane and Billy Willetts.
340
00:24:57,396 --> 00:25:02,891
Oh, yes. From the garage.
I understand they were with him in the bar last night.
341
00:25:02,968 --> 00:25:05,493
Yeah, but they wouldn't kill Ed.
342
00:25:05,571 --> 00:25:09,837
I mean, Andy and my brother
have been best friends since they were kids and-
343
00:25:10,910 --> 00:25:15,176
Mrs. Fletcher,
my daddy is not a bad man.
344
00:25:15,247 --> 00:25:18,944
He, uh, just doesn't have use
for a black sheriff.
345
00:25:19,018 --> 00:25:22,613
And I'm afraid, feeling like he does
about losin' Ed,
346
00:25:22,688 --> 00:25:25,623
he's just liable to sit back
and let things happen.
347
00:25:25,691 --> 00:25:27,625
Yes.
348
00:25:27,693 --> 00:25:33,529
Linda, I must tell you, I find this town-
the atmosphere- terrifying.
349
00:25:33,599 --> 00:25:36,898
It feels as if it's going to explode.
350
00:25:52,818 --> 00:25:54,752

351
00:25:54,820 --> 00:25:57,254
About time you got home, honey.
352
00:25:57,323 --> 00:25:59,917
What's she doin' here?
Daddy, this is Jessica Fletcher.
353
00:25:59,992 --> 00:26:03,655
I know who she is.
Mr. Bonner, I'm terribly sorry for your loss.
354
00:26:03,729 --> 00:26:06,664
Then you'll be good enough to
leave me with my sorrow.
355
00:26:06,732 --> 00:26:11,465
'Cause it doesn't matter
what you or the sheriff thinks. Matt Burns killed my boy.
356
00:26:15,341 --> 00:26:18,640
Daddy, Matt didn't do it.
357
00:26:18,711 --> 00:26:24,616
You shame a man in public,
especially a yellow one like Matt Burns, he's gonna do something about it.
358
00:26:24,683 --> 00:26:27,345
Like jump my boy in the dark...
359
00:26:27,419 --> 00:26:30,354
'cause he ain't got the guts
to face him man-to-man.
360
00:26:30,422 --> 00:26:34,825
Mr. Bonner, maybe you're right.
Maybe Matt did kill your son.
361
00:26:34,893 --> 00:26:38,021
But if he did,
the law will see that he's punished.
362
00:26:38,097 --> 00:26:39,587
But don't you think-
363
00:26:39,665 --> 00:26:42,964
I mean, if he's as much of a coward
as you think he is,
364
00:26:43,035 --> 00:26:47,199
don't you think it's more likely
he would have fired a gun from ambush?
365
00:26:49,642 --> 00:26:51,701
Are you an expert in killing, missus?
366
00:26:51,777 --> 00:26:56,339
No, but I think I know
something about people.
367
00:26:57,683 --> 00:26:59,617
Mmm.
368
00:26:59,685 --> 00:27:02,620

I tried everything with Ed.
369
00:27:02,688 --> 00:27:04,622
Everything.
370
00:27:04,690 --> 00:27:10,390
I tried bein' hard with him.
I tried bein' soft, I tried bein' a pal.
371
00:27:10,462 --> 00:27:14,558
Gave him everything,
and I gave him nothin'.
372
00:27:14,633 --> 00:27:17,864
I don't know
where it all went wrong.
373
00:27:19,938 --> 00:27:22,270
Then, five months ago,
374
00:27:22,341 --> 00:27:26,243
he walked away from this farm
without a dime in his pocket.
375
00:27:26,311 --> 00:27:30,008
I knew he'd be back
because he had nothin'- no money, anything.
376
00:27:30,082 --> 00:27:32,448
Then there he was all of a sudden,
377
00:27:32,518 --> 00:27:37,820
rented a house, money in his pocket,
drivin' around in that fancy car.
378
00:27:39,591 --> 00:27:43,391
It didn't take me long
to figure out what was goin' on.
379
00:27:43,462 --> 00:27:46,329
Daddy, we don't know for sure
Ed was dealing drugs.
380
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,433
No? Then what?
381
00:27:54,773 --> 00:27:58,709
Daddy! There is gonna be a lot morekilling in this town because of you!
382
00:28:00,279 --> 00:28:03,578
Why didn't your boyfriend
think of that, huh, honey?
383

Come on, little fella, quit now. You don't wanna get hurt.

00:28:28,107 --> 00:28:32,043
Uh, your car'll-
fuel pump'll be here by dark.
388
00:28:32,111 --> 00:28:35,547
I mean, maybe. Maybe not.
I'm not worried about the car.
389
00:28:35,614 --> 00:28:38,481
Look, can't you talk some sense
into these people?
390
00:28:38,550 --> 00:28:42,111
Can't you see that there is a mob
developing here? And that's not helping any.
391
00:28:42,187 --> 00:28:44,781
I'd mind my own business
if I were you, mister.

of whom, Sheriff?

from Ed Bonner's place last night a couple of minutes after that scream.

one of our town characters.

She's nearly 90 with poor eyesight
and a vivid imagination.
409

A couple of times a week
we get calls from her.
410
00:29:50,155 --> 00:29:54,592
Sunday, she was sure
a banshee was loose in her yard. A month ago it was aliens.
411
00:29:54,660 --> 00:29:58,460
Sheriff, have you considered
calling in the state police?
412
00:29:58,530 --> 00:30:02,022
If I call in the troopers now,I might as well turn in my badge.
413
00:30:02,100 --> 00:30:04,660
And if you don't,
it could cost Matt Burns his life.

They'll have to kill two of us.

Sheriff, I understand that-
416
00:30:11,977 --> 00:30:15,743
that Ed Bonner was spending
a great deal of money, even though he didn't have a job.
417
00:30:15,814 --> 00:30:19,272
Do you think it's possible that
he was involved in something illegal?
418
00:30:19,351 --> 00:30:21,615
- You mean, like dealing drugs?
- Uh-huh.
419

but the situation is getting worse,

from both of you.

424

put you here around 11:00.

if you needed directions to her house.

and I'm not snooping around.
483
00:35:20,218 --> 00:35:23,210
Oh, you're that friend
of Cassie Burns.
484
00:35:23,288 --> 00:35:26,223
- Yes.
- Well, I ain't got time to chat.
485
00:35:26,291 --> 00:35:30,022
I got to open in two hours,and my swamper called in sick.
486
00:35:30,095 --> 00:35:34,429
Yeah, well, I'm sure you're very busy.
I just wanted to ask you, really, one question.
487
00:35:34,499 --> 00:35:37,627
I understand last night
that you were prevented from stopping the fight...
488
00:35:37,702 --> 00:35:40,398
by that young man
from the service station.
489
00:35:40,472 --> 00:35:42,440
Billy Willetts?
490
00:35:42,507 --> 00:35:48,070
Yeah, he stuck a knife in my back
just as I was going for the old peacemaker there.
491
00:35:48,146 --> 00:35:51,081
What kind of knife
was that, Mr. Kelso?
492
00:35:51,149 --> 00:35:53,083
Sharp, ma'am.
493
00:35:53,151 --> 00:35:57,087
I didn't see it,
and I wasn't about to look for it.
494
00:35:57,155 --> 00:36:00,090
You think maybe it was Billy
that hacked up Ed?
495
00:36:00,158 --> 00:36:02,092
[Chuckles]
496
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:07,325
Well, Billy's handy with a blade,
but it was Matt Burns that killed Ed.
497
00:36:07,399 --> 00:36:09,333
You seem very sure of that.
498
00:36:09,401 --> 00:36:12,461
Well, it don't give me no pleasure,
ma'am, believe me.
499
00:36:12,537 --> 00:36:15,472
I always liked Matt-
him and his mama both.
500
00:36:15,540 --> 00:36:18,771
But if you'll excuse me now,
I've got work to do.
501
00:36:18,843 --> 00:36:20,777
Oh, yes, yes, of course.
502
00:36:20,845 --> 00:36:22,779
There's just one more thing, Mr. Kelso.
503
00:36:22,847 --> 00:36:28,308
Strictly speaking, a peacemaker's
a nickname for a Colt.45 used in frontier days.
504
00:36:28,386 --> 00:36:33,221
If I'm not mistaken,
that is a Webley-Fosbery semiautomatic revolver.
505
00:36:33,291 --> 00:36:36,658
[Laughing]
Well, I'll be.
506
00:36:36,728 --> 00:36:40,892
You sure do know your weaponry.
You own one of them?
507
00:36:40,966 --> 00:36:45,198
Oh, no, no, no. No, of course,
I just ran across it in research.
508
00:36:45,270 --> 00:36:48,899
For several days, I considered using one
to shoot a Bulgarian scientist.
509
00:36:48,974 --> 00:36:51,272
[Phone Ringing]
510
00:36:51,343 --> 00:36:54,039
Oh, yeah, I remember now.
511
00:36:54,112 --> 00:36:56,842
Somebody told me
you was a writer or somethin'.
512
00:36:56,915 --> 00:36:58,906
Kelso.
513
00:37:00,919 --> 00:37:03,080
Yeah, how ya doin', Walt?
514
00:37:04,089 --> 00:37:07,081
What?
515
00:37:07,158 --> 00:37:10,423
Uh, yeah, I'm comin'.
516
00:37:10,495 --> 00:37:14,329
- What is it?
- Trouble at the jail.

[All Shouting]
You're dead, Burns!
518
00:37:18,236 --> 00:37:20,534
Yeah, come on, Sheriff!
519
00:37:20,605 --> 00:37:24,371
You better come out here
with Matt Burns, or we're gonna come in there after him!
520
00:37:24,442 --> 00:37:26,706
Yeah!
[Shouting Continues]
521
00:37:26,778 --> 00:37:29,303
We got somethin' we want him
to try on, Sheriff.
522
00:37:29,381 --> 00:37:32,817
Get out here.We want Matt Burns. Come on!
523
00:37:37,522 --> 00:37:40,047
All right, gentlemen.
The fun is over for today.
524
00:37:40,125 --> 00:37:43,356
Now, do us all a favor.Go home and sleep it off.
525
00:37:44,963 --> 00:37:48,228
No one's goin' home, Sheriff,
till you turn over Matt Burns.
526
00:37:48,300 --> 00:37:51,463
Yeah, that's right.We want Matt Burns!
527
00:37:52,737 --> 00:37:54,671
Don't make me lock you up, Andy.
528

[Laughing]
529
00:37:57,742 --> 00:38:00,074
How you gonna do that,
Sheriff?
530
00:38:01,479 --> 00:38:06,007
Huh?By pointin'that old tool at me?
531
00:38:06,084 --> 00:38:09,019
Maybe these boys here
think you look tough,
532
00:38:09,087 --> 00:38:14,024
but all I see is a colored boy
shakin' behind that badge.
533
00:38:14,092 --> 00:38:17,493
[All Laughing]
534
00:38:24,069 --> 00:38:27,095
Aren't you going to stop this?
I wouldn't even if I could.
535
00:38:34,012 --> 00:38:35,946
Well, if you won't, I will.
536
00:38:36,014 --> 00:38:39,541
Don't do that, ma'am.
You'll just get yourself hurt.

00:38:44,456 --> 00:38:46,754

[Men Shouting, Laughing]
541
00:38:58,737 --> 00:39:01,228
Hey, Andy!
542
00:39:01,306 --> 00:39:04,400
- You startin' some trouble again?
- I just figured l-
543
00:39:04,476 --> 00:39:06,740
I know what you figured.
544
00:39:06,811 --> 00:39:11,748
All right, you guys go on home.
This town's had enough killin'. Go on, go on.
545
00:39:11,816 --> 00:39:14,148
Wait a minute.
He killed your son.
546
00:39:14,219 --> 00:39:17,985
Maybe he did, maybe he didn't.
We'll let the court decide that.
547
00:39:18,056 --> 00:39:20,718
Meanwhile,we'll let the sheriff do his job.
548
00:39:20,792 --> 00:39:22,919
You crazy old man!
549
00:39:24,496 --> 00:39:28,330
Sheriff, this young fellow
is drunk and disorderly,
550
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:31,665
and I might sayhe's disturbing the peace.
551
00:39:31,736 --> 00:39:34,204
Yes, sir. Morgan.
552
00:39:36,141 --> 00:39:38,075
Thanks.
553
00:39:38,143 --> 00:39:42,170
Don't thank me.
You can thank my daughter.
554
00:39:42,247 --> 00:39:44,442
Thanks anyway.
555
00:39:53,191 --> 00:39:55,455
Empty your pockets.
Contents on the desk.
556
00:39:55,527 --> 00:39:57,518
Cuff him, Morgan.
557
00:40:02,367 --> 00:40:05,598
Sheriff Cox, do you think it
would be all right if I talk to Matt?
558
00:40:05,670 --> 00:40:08,161
I guess I owe you that much.
Morgan.
559
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:10,673
Thanks.
Mrs. Fletcher.
560
00:40:10,742 --> 00:40:13,677
You saw Billy Willetts's
knife out there, didn't you? Yes.
561
00:40:13,745 --> 00:40:16,680
It was a switchblade.
Not the murder weapon. So much for that theory.
562
00:40:16,748 --> 00:40:20,115
So it seems.
Sheriff. The car keys.
563
00:40:23,388 --> 00:40:25,754
Where'd you get this key from,
Andy?
564
00:40:25,824 --> 00:40:27,758
I didn't steal it.
565
00:40:27,826 --> 00:40:30,294
The crest-
it's the Cameron family, not Crane.
566
00:40:30,361 --> 00:40:33,797
That's my mama's name.
Some law against it?
567
00:40:39,471 --> 00:40:41,462
This yours, too?
568
00:40:44,342 --> 00:40:46,435
Hell, yes.
Where'd you get that?
569
00:40:46,511 --> 00:40:49,275
Off your friend's dead body.
570
00:40:50,548 --> 00:40:53,210
Uh, wait a minute.
I didn't kill Ed.
571
00:40:53,284 --> 00:40:55,047
What was he doing with it?
572
00:40:55,119 --> 00:40:57,110
I don't know. Maybe he-
573
00:40:58,356 --> 00:41:01,848
Oh, yeah, yeah, we were, uh-
We were shootin' a little pool, and he borrowed it from me.
574
00:41:01,926 --> 00:41:03,860
Maybe he stuck it in his pocket.
575
00:41:03,928 --> 00:41:07,125
But why would he borrow
a cigarette lighter from you...
576
00:41:07,198 --> 00:41:10,565
if he already had a perfectly
good lighter of his own, Mr. Crane?
577
00:41:10,635 --> 00:41:12,569
Naw.
578
00:41:12,637 --> 00:41:17,233
Naw, he left that one behind
on the table at Kelso's, 'cause we had to get out of there in a hurry.
579
00:41:17,308 --> 00:41:19,071
This the one he forgot?
580
00:41:19,143 --> 00:41:21,873
Yeah, that's the one.
581
00:41:21,946 --> 00:41:23,880
It might be a good idea...
582
00:41:23,948 --> 00:41:27,850
to find out exactly
what happened after they left the bar.
583
00:41:27,919 --> 00:41:30,183
Tell her.
Yeah.
584
00:41:30,255 --> 00:41:32,246
Tell her, Andy.
585
00:41:36,060 --> 00:41:40,929
All right. We drove down to Reeseburg
to shoot a little pool,
586
00:41:40,999 --> 00:41:42,990
and Ed,
he wasn't doin' too good.
587
00:41:43,067 --> 00:41:45,001
So he dropped about a hundred,
588
00:41:45,069 --> 00:41:48,004
then we came back into town
about 12:45,
589
00:41:48,072 --> 00:41:51,872
and, uh, oh, Ed, he was hot.
590
00:41:51,943 --> 00:41:53,968
I mean mad.
591
00:41:54,045 --> 00:41:56,479
And he dropped us off at the station,
592
00:41:56,548 --> 00:41:59,984
and I wanted to keep right on partyin',
you know, but he said no.
593
00:42:00,051 --> 00:42:03,248
- He said, uh-
- He said what, Mr. Crane?
594
00:42:05,723 --> 00:42:07,657
He, uh-
595
00:42:07,725 --> 00:42:10,626
He said he had to go to the bank.
596
00:42:10,695 --> 00:42:13,459
Kind of weird,
goin' to the bank after midnight, huh?
597
00:42:15,867 --> 00:42:20,531
You know, if Ed did
leave his own lighter on the table,
598
00:42:20,605 --> 00:42:22,698
anyone could have picked it up.
599
00:42:22,774 --> 00:42:25,504
Yeah, and whoever did pick it up
is probably his killer.
600
00:42:25,577 --> 00:42:27,738
Or else how did it
get back in Ed's pocket?
601
00:42:27,812 --> 00:42:29,439
Exactly.
602
00:42:32,717 --> 00:42:34,651
Mr. Kelso?
603
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:37,654
You back again, ma'am?
I ain't got time to talk.
604
00:42:37,722 --> 00:42:39,656
Make time, Kelso.
605
00:42:40,992 --> 00:42:42,926
What is this?
606
00:42:42,994 --> 00:42:47,397
All the scrubbing in the world
isn't going to remove every trace of blood on the floor.
607
00:42:47,465 --> 00:42:52,334
A good forensics man
can still find microscopic traces- that's all we need.
608
00:42:54,806 --> 00:42:57,001
What the hell
are you talking about, Cox?
609
00:42:57,075 --> 00:43:00,408
Mrs. Fletcher has a theory
about Ed Bonner's death-
610
00:43:00,478 --> 00:43:03,641
a reason why a killer
would repeatedly stab away at a dead body.
611
00:43:03,715 --> 00:43:06,650
She believes Edwasn't stabbed at all.He was shot.
612
00:43:06,718 --> 00:43:09,312
Shot?
[Laughing]
613
00:43:09,387 --> 00:43:11,514
Oh, you are somethin', lady.
614
00:43:12,590 --> 00:43:15,821
Shot, Kelso,
with a very special caliber gun...
615
00:43:15,893 --> 00:43:20,626
that shoots
very special pointed bullets.
616
00:43:26,037 --> 00:43:29,632
Now, you must have figured
as soon as we dug out the slug we'd know who killed Ed,
617
00:43:29,707 --> 00:43:31,641
so you dug out the slug first.
618
00:43:31,709 --> 00:43:33,643
Come on, Sheriff-
619
00:43:33,711 --> 00:43:36,646
The way I figure it,
you drove Ed back in that red car of his to his house,
620
00:43:36,714 --> 00:43:39,182
dumped his body,
let out a scream and ran away.
621
00:43:39,250 --> 00:43:41,946
You planted the knife and gloves
back at Matt's house.
622
00:43:42,020 --> 00:43:43,954
[Door Opens]
623
00:43:44,022 --> 00:43:49,016
Sheriff, the forensics guy from Montgomeryjust checked out the trunk of Ed Bonner's car.
624
00:43:49,093 --> 00:43:51,152
Those are blood stains, all right.
625
00:43:54,532 --> 00:44:00,129
Guess I should've
left town months ago,
626
00:44:00,204 --> 00:44:02,365
while I still had a chance.
627
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:06,240
- Months ago?
- January, I think, Sheriff.
628
00:44:07,712 --> 00:44:11,512
That is right, isn't it, Mr. Kelso?
That is about the time your wife ran off with the hardware salesman?
629
00:44:11,582 --> 00:44:15,643
You know about that?
No, not really.
630
00:44:15,720 --> 00:44:20,350
But everything seems to indicate
that you were being blackmailed.
631
00:44:20,425 --> 00:44:23,883
Ed Bonner's
unexplained prosperity...
632
00:44:23,961 --> 00:44:27,829
and his strange remark last night
about having to go to the bank.
633
00:44:27,899 --> 00:44:30,231
[Chuckling]
634
00:44:30,301 --> 00:44:32,292
The bank.
635
00:44:35,006 --> 00:44:36,997
Ah, it-
636
00:44:39,544 --> 00:44:42,536
'Bout a couple of days
after New Year's.
637
00:44:44,282 --> 00:44:49,777
Soon as I come home,
I knew Jolene had been with another man.
638
00:44:51,089 --> 00:44:53,080
I got mad.
639
00:44:54,158 --> 00:44:56,718
She just laughed at me, and...
640
00:44:57,862 --> 00:45:00,990
I grabbed hold of somethin'-
641
00:45:01,065 --> 00:45:03,625
a brass bookend, I think-
642
00:45:03,701 --> 00:45:05,692
swung at her.
643
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:13,906
Next thing I know,
she was laying on the ground there,
644
00:45:13,978 --> 00:45:16,412
eyes wide open,
staring up at me.
645
00:45:18,149 --> 00:45:21,380
Then I realized he was there.
646
00:45:21,452 --> 00:45:25,320
The bedroom door. Ed Bonner.
Seen it all.
647
00:45:27,225 --> 00:45:33,130
It was Ed's idea-
cartJolene off, bury her in the woods.
648
00:45:34,332 --> 00:45:37,358
Me say she was...
649
00:45:37,435 --> 00:45:40,529
off visiting her mama,
650
00:45:40,605 --> 00:45:42,596
all the time he was...
651
00:45:44,041 --> 00:45:47,909
telling people behind my back
that she'd run off with another man.
652
00:45:49,413 --> 00:45:51,847
Is that when the blackmail started?
653
00:45:51,916 --> 00:45:54,384
[Grunts]
654
00:45:54,452 --> 00:45:58,286
Just a few dollars at first.
You know, just-
655
00:45:58,356 --> 00:46:00,586
Then more and more.
656
00:46:02,827 --> 00:46:04,818
He loved to see me sweat.
657
00:46:06,564 --> 00:46:10,728
Last night he come back here
after I closed,
658
00:46:10,802 --> 00:46:13,293
looking for his cigarette lighter
and...
659
00:46:14,906 --> 00:46:17,466
money.
660
00:46:17,542 --> 00:46:19,533
Whole lot of money.
661
00:46:22,380 --> 00:46:24,371
I couldn't pay him no more.
662
00:46:25,716 --> 00:46:28,207
I took out my gun and I shot him.
663
00:46:31,522 --> 00:46:34,013
Wasn't like it was with Jolene.
664
00:46:37,495 --> 00:46:40,191
This time I didn't feel nothin'.
665
00:46:41,699 --> 00:46:43,963
Just like killin' a wild dog.
666
00:46:52,810 --> 00:46:54,744
That's it.
667
00:46:54,812 --> 00:46:56,746
Come on, Mama.
Oh!
668
00:46:56,814 --> 00:46:58,748
It's only Nashville.
669
00:46:58,816 --> 00:47:01,751
Who knows?
They may send us packin' before the month's out.
670
00:47:01,819 --> 00:47:03,878
I doubt that.
Thanks for all your help, sir.
671
00:47:03,955 --> 00:47:08,016
- I'll be seein' you again soon, I expect.
- I expect you will, Matthew.
672
00:47:11,429 --> 00:47:13,363
Good-bye, Linda.
673
00:47:13,431 --> 00:47:17,197
Mmm! Don't worry. My daddy
is not too fond of this either.
674
00:47:17,268 --> 00:47:20,362
So, I promised him
we'd be back before the holidays.
675
00:47:20,412 --> 00:47:24,962
