FEMALE NARRATOR:Tonight on Murder, She Wrote.
3
00:00:06,442 --> 00:00:09,070
I hate nostalgia,
and I hate this old song.
4
00:00:09,145 --> 00:00:12,342
This is a reunion,
and reunions are all about nostalgia.
5
00:00:12,415 --> 00:00:14,076
I'm sorry.
I'm not like Lee.
6
00:00:14,150 --> 00:00:16,050
I can't bottle up
my emotions.
7
00:00:16,119 --> 00:00:18,519
I was 20 years old.
8
00:00:18,588 --> 00:00:21,079
Nobody could
tell me anything.
9
00:00:21,157 --> 00:00:24,649
Richie King,
that fine family man, was a skirt-chaser.
10
00:00:24,727 --> 00:00:26,627
This is where Richie died.
11
00:00:26,696 --> 00:00:28,220
Now, snap out of it
and get back to work!

(RICHIE KING SINGING)Beneath the blueumbrella skies
13
00:01:25,621 --> 00:01:29,421
Then softer than a piper man
14
00:01:29,492 --> 00:01:33,121
One day it called to you
15
00:01:35,064 --> 00:01:39,467
I lost you,I lost you to the summer wind
16
00:01:42,038 --> 00:01:45,201
The autumn windand the winter wind
17
00:01:45,274 --> 00:01:49,301
Well, they have come and gone
18
00:01:49,979 --> 00:01:53,540
And still the days,those lonely days
19
00:01:53,616 --> 00:01:57,985
They go on and on
20
00:01:58,054 --> 00:02:01,922
And guess who sighshis lullabies
21
00:02:01,991 --> 00:02:03,925
Through nightsthat never end?
22
00:02:03,993 --> 00:02:06,757
This guy was a big star
back in the 60's. One of the biggest.
23
00:02:06,829 --> 00:02:08,990
Yes, I remember Richie King.
24
00:02:09,065 --> 00:02:10,123
Yeah?
25
00:02:10,199 --> 00:02:13,600
He died the year
I started nursery school, or something, 1965.
26
00:02:13,669 --> 00:02:15,432
Anyway,
he was stabbed to death
27
00:02:15,505 --> 00:02:17,632
during a rehearsal of
The Barry Barnes Big Show.
28
00:02:17,707 --> 00:02:19,902
Now, this is a tape
from an earlier performance.
29
00:02:19,976 --> 00:02:21,705
(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)
30
00:02:22,145 --> 00:02:25,114
Let's hear it for Richie King!Let's hear it!
31
00:02:25,181 --> 00:02:26,409
Oh, I...
32
00:02:27,383 --> 00:02:28,975
I love that boy!
33
00:02:29,719 --> 00:02:31,846
That is a story
dying to be told.
34
00:02:31,921 --> 00:02:34,082
And as I mentioned
to Josh Reynolds,
35
00:02:34,157 --> 00:02:36,057
Jessica, you're the one
to tell it.
36
00:02:36,125 --> 00:02:37,649
Yes, where is Josh Reynolds?
37
00:02:37,727 --> 00:02:40,195
I thought he was going to
be at this meeting.
38
00:02:40,263 --> 00:02:42,493
Did my secretary
tell you that?
39
00:02:43,499 --> 00:02:45,160
I'm gonna have to
have a talk with Sandra.
40
00:02:45,234 --> 00:02:47,395
Look, Josh is fully aware
41
00:02:47,470 --> 00:02:49,631
that the trend is gonna be
reality books
42
00:02:49,705 --> 00:02:51,605
based upon the murders
of famous old stars.
43
00:02:51,674 --> 00:02:54,837
The Richie King story
has all the elements to make it a bestseller.
44
00:02:54,911 --> 00:02:58,972
It's got... It's got mystery,
it's got glamour, it's got famous names.
45
00:02:59,048 --> 00:03:01,710
And no ending.
As I recall, it was never solved.
46
00:03:01,784 --> 00:03:03,684
That's where you come in.
47
00:03:03,753 --> 00:03:06,221
Jessica, you solve it.
48
00:03:07,223 --> 00:03:08,281
But how?
49
00:03:08,357 --> 00:03:11,451
I mean, sifting through
the blurry events of a quarter of a century ago?
50
00:03:11,527 --> 00:03:13,461
Oh, no, I'm sorry,
Mr. Fielding...
51
00:03:13,529 --> 00:03:16,362
Jessica, please.
You just cannot turn me down on this one, okay?
52
00:03:16,432 --> 00:03:17,956
You just can't do it.
53
00:03:18,034 --> 00:03:21,868
Why do I have the feeling
that you're not telling me something?
54
00:03:22,438 --> 00:03:24,133
Did I mention
the Haley Sisters?
55
00:03:24,207 --> 00:03:25,606
No, you did not.
56
00:03:25,675 --> 00:03:27,165
It was their first
big TV show.
57
00:03:27,243 --> 00:03:28,938
It got big ratings
because of the murder.
58
00:03:29,011 --> 00:03:30,774
The Haley Sisters were a hit.
59
00:03:30,846 --> 00:03:33,610
They were the number one
female singers in the country,
60
00:03:33,683 --> 00:03:36,777
until they suddenly retired
in 1974.
61
00:03:37,153 --> 00:03:40,281
I'm sorry, I'm afraid
I don't see where all this is leading.
62
00:03:40,356 --> 00:03:41,618
They're reviving the act.
63
00:03:41,691 --> 00:03:42,817
And they're gonna
kick it off
64
00:03:42,892 --> 00:03:45,383
on the
Barry Barnes Reunion Special.
65
00:03:46,229 --> 00:03:47,457
Don't you see?
66
00:03:47,530 --> 00:03:50,658
Their comeback will
generate free publicity to sell this book.
67
00:03:50,733 --> 00:03:52,928
Along with J.B. Fletcher's
name, of course.
68
00:03:53,002 --> 00:03:55,368
Yes, well,
I'm very flattered,
69
00:03:55,438 --> 00:03:56,996
but I really must decline
the honor.
70
00:03:57,073 --> 00:03:59,871
You see, Mr. Fielding,
I am a fiction writer.
71
00:03:59,942 --> 00:04:02,035
Hey, that's exactly
what I told Josh Reynolds.
72
00:04:02,111 --> 00:04:03,669
But you know
what he said to me?
73
00:04:03,746 --> 00:04:05,873
Truman Capote did it with
In Cold Blood,
74
00:04:05,948 --> 00:04:09,247
and that became a hardcover
and paperback bestseller with an awesome picture deal.
75
00:04:09,318 --> 00:04:11,912
Come on, Jessica,
if that little guy can do it, you can do it.
76
00:04:11,988 --> 00:04:13,853
No, really.
77
00:04:14,290 --> 00:04:17,487
Well, just take it
a look-see, okay? Here...
78
00:04:17,693 --> 00:04:21,220
Here's the number
of Barry Barnes' head writer, Art Sommers.
79
00:04:23,366 --> 00:04:26,096
Jessica, please,
as a favor to yourself,
80
00:04:26,168 --> 00:04:29,137
just go to the TV theater
and get a taste for what you'll be writing about.
81
00:04:29,205 --> 00:04:31,298
Will you do that much
for me, please?
82
00:04:31,374 --> 00:04:33,501
Or am I gonna have to
come all the way up there to Cabot Cove
83
00:04:33,576 --> 00:04:35,908
and talk myself
blue in the face?
84
00:04:36,579 --> 00:04:37,568

This sketch might have
a couple of laughs in it, but I don't like it.
93
00:05:05,941 --> 00:05:07,499
Barry, it's too late for that.
94
00:05:07,576 --> 00:05:09,134
It's new, its hip,
it's the '90s.
95
00:05:09,211 --> 00:05:10,371
And it's funny.
96
00:05:10,446 --> 00:05:11,845
Oh, sure, it might go over
at Saturday Night Live,
97
00:05:11,914 --> 00:05:13,745
but I'm too old
for that smart aleck stuff.
98
00:05:13,816 --> 00:05:16,683
I want to do the same sketch
I did on the show 25 years ago.
99
00:05:16,752 --> 00:05:18,686
Barry, it's old hat.
100
00:05:18,754 --> 00:05:20,722
So when's the last time
you bought a new hat?
101
00:05:21,023 --> 00:05:22,490
Look, I'm making it
easy for you.
102
00:05:22,558 --> 00:05:24,924
Just go over the old sketch
and update the gags.
103
00:05:24,994 --> 00:05:27,485
Do you know how much work
we've put into our material?
104
00:05:27,563 --> 00:05:29,121

It's brilliant.

106
00:05:32,168 --> 00:05:34,636
Now, Barry, you should
listen to these kids. They're great.

Everything.

to sing with those dancers

a bunch of grasshoppers?

cool down.

No! The dancers
are in our way.

I swear to you,
128
00:06:19,048 --> 00:06:22,381
this is an exact recreation
of your first number on your first show.

Now, the choreography's
the same, step for step.
130
00:06:25,087 --> 00:06:26,213
Yeah? Well, it stinks.

it hasn't gotten any better.
132
00:06:29,492 --> 00:06:31,016
But, hey, it's nostalgia.
133
00:06:31,460 --> 00:06:34,020
I hate nostalgia,
and I hate this old song.
134
00:06:34,263 --> 00:06:37,824
But this is a reunion,
and reunions are all about nostalgia.
135
00:06:37,900 --> 00:06:39,697
Old songs, old sketches.
136
00:06:39,969 --> 00:06:43,063
That doesn't bother you.
You've been telling the same jokes for 40 years.

Lee, I don't mind
doing the old song. I kind of like it.
139
00:06:50,212 --> 00:06:52,942
It's better than
some of the new stuff.
140
00:06:53,015 --> 00:06:54,880
Well, the song is fine,
141
00:06:54,950 --> 00:06:57,282

is from the stone age.

Oh, forget it.

Look, she's just tired, Barry.
It's nerves.

Don't make excuses.
Go talk some sense into her.

I'd be smarter.

BARRY: Am I right?
150
00:07:20,943 --> 00:07:22,205
What'd you do,
151
00:07:22,411 --> 00:07:23,400
cut me off?

Why are you hiding
in the dark?

I'm so sorry to startle you.

I'm Jessica Fletcher.

Fletcher?
Oh.
157
00:07:49,071 --> 00:07:52,598
Oh, sure.
My people said that you were coming over.
158
00:07:53,809 --> 00:07:56,539
It was the way you came
out of the shadows.
159
00:07:56,912 --> 00:07:58,846
I thought you were
the Ghost of Christmas Past.

00:07:59,982 --> 00:08:02,348
Well, come down here,
young lady.

a Mr. Sommers.

Oh, you just missed him.

with his wife.

Now, listen to me.

and give it your best shot.
171
00:08:21,403 --> 00:08:22,631

to do this show.

00:08:22,705 --> 00:08:24,172
I told you I had
a bad feeling about it.
173
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,003
Lee, cut it out.
174
00:08:26,642 --> 00:08:28,507
Now, before you did
your first Barry Barnes Show
175
00:08:28,577 --> 00:08:30,545
your act never made
more than 200 bucks.
176
00:08:30,613 --> 00:08:32,103
You started your career
with Barry,
177
00:08:32,181 --> 00:08:34,809
and it's perfect for
starting your comeback.
178
00:08:34,884 --> 00:08:36,749
We've been gone so long.
179
00:08:37,586 --> 00:08:39,349
Maybe it's too late.
180
00:08:39,989 --> 00:08:41,854
Will you stop
that kind of talk?
181
00:08:41,924 --> 00:08:44,119
The '60s are big box office,
182
00:08:44,193 --> 00:08:47,629
and the Haley Sisters
have a chance to cash in on the trend.
183
00:08:47,696 --> 00:08:49,926
What happens
when the trend is over?
184
00:08:50,699 --> 00:08:53,691
Then we just sit back
and count our money.
185
00:08:54,904 --> 00:08:57,771
Honey, how can we lose?
186
00:08:59,642 --> 00:09:02,338
Art, do you remember
this dressing room?
187
00:09:05,881 --> 00:09:07,678
They all look alike.
188
00:09:07,750 --> 00:09:09,115
It was Richie's.
189
00:09:09,184 --> 00:09:10,481
Lee, now don't start.
190
00:09:10,553 --> 00:09:12,612
This is where Richie died.
191
00:09:12,688 --> 00:09:14,451
That's a part
of the '60s, too.
192
00:09:14,523 --> 00:09:15,888
Okay, that's enough.
193
00:09:15,958 --> 00:09:18,722
Now, snap out of it
and get back to work!
194
00:09:21,697 --> 00:09:23,892
Sweetheart, now look.
195
00:09:25,067 --> 00:09:28,628
I'm only thinking of
what's right for you.
196
00:09:35,911 --> 00:09:37,378
For you.
197
00:09:40,082 --> 00:09:41,310
For you, baby.
198
00:09:52,027 --> 00:09:53,654
Art, you got a minute?
199
00:09:53,729 --> 00:09:56,630
(LAUGHS) For you, Oz,
maybe a minute and a quarter.
200
00:09:56,699 --> 00:09:59,327
Tell me something.
Am I the music director on this show, or is she?
201
00:09:59,401 --> 00:10:02,598
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
You are treading on dangerous ground, Oz.
202
00:10:02,671 --> 00:10:05,697
What did you do, Art,
poison your wife's mind against me?
203
00:10:05,774 --> 00:10:07,833
You never liked my music,
and I happen to know
204
00:10:07,910 --> 00:10:10,344
that you hated my songs
on that Thanksgiving special.
205
00:10:10,412 --> 00:10:14,246
You mean when you had
the Indians and the Pilgrims holding hands around the table
206
00:10:14,316 --> 00:10:16,375
and everybody sang,
We're Gonna Gobble UpThe Gobbler?
207
00:10:16,452 --> 00:10:17,817
It's a children's classic.
208
00:10:17,886 --> 00:10:20,446
(LAUGHING)
Well, it will be if I can get a record deal.
209
00:10:20,522 --> 00:10:24,788
Well, personally, I prefer,
Little Ducky DuddleSplashing In A Puddle.
210
00:10:24,860 --> 00:10:27,624
Look, look, I know
you don't like me. I can live with that.
211
00:10:27,696 --> 00:10:30,096
You never liked my dad
when he was Barry's music director.
212
00:10:30,165 --> 00:10:31,723
You thought he was a hack.
213
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,267
No, no, no.
Get this straight.
214
00:10:33,335 --> 00:10:35,735
Richie King
thought he was a hack.
215
00:10:35,804 --> 00:10:37,396
I only thought he was
a bad music director.
216
00:10:37,473 --> 00:10:39,964
You and Richie tried to get
my dad dumped off the show.
217
00:10:40,042 --> 00:10:41,669
If Richie hadn't been killed,
it might have worked.
218
00:10:41,744 --> 00:10:43,336
Now you're trying
to get me dumped.
219
00:10:43,412 --> 00:10:47,371
You know, you're the only guy
I know with second-generation paranoia.
220
00:10:47,449 --> 00:10:50,850
Admit it. Admit it, Art,
you want me out of here.
221
00:10:50,919 --> 00:10:54,753
Oz, talking to you is like
talking to a turnip.
222
00:10:55,391 --> 00:10:57,256
Only a turnip listens.
223
00:10:58,360 --> 00:10:59,987
Get out of my hair.
224
00:11:06,835 --> 00:11:09,702
You know, I hadn't realized
that Art Sommers was married
225
00:11:09,772 --> 00:11:11,569
to one of the Haley Sisters.
226
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,403
Yeah, Lee, the oldest.
227
00:11:13,475 --> 00:11:15,534
Now, there's a story
you should write.
228
00:11:15,611 --> 00:11:16,873
He met her 25 years ago,
229
00:11:16,945 --> 00:11:19,880
when the sisters started
rehearsing for their first appearance on my show.
230
00:11:19,948 --> 00:11:21,176
Oh, the one with Richie King?
231
00:11:21,250 --> 00:11:24,219
Right. Art fell for Lee
like a ton of bricks.
232
00:11:24,553 --> 00:11:25,781
She couldn't stand him.
233
00:11:25,854 --> 00:11:27,617
Wanted nothing to do with him.
234
00:11:27,690 --> 00:11:29,055
So what happened?
235
00:11:29,124 --> 00:11:32,491
A couple of weeks later
they get hitched by a city clerk in Las Vegas.
236
00:11:32,561 --> 00:11:34,586
Tell me romance is dead.
237
00:11:34,997 --> 00:11:36,692
You have a remarkable memory.
238
00:11:36,765 --> 00:11:37,789
Yeah.
239
00:11:37,866 --> 00:11:40,926
I developed it memorizing
other comics' jokes.
240
00:11:41,603 --> 00:11:44,663
Well, then you probably
remember details of the murder?
241
00:11:44,973 --> 00:11:46,907
Are you kidding? Sure.
242
00:11:47,810 --> 00:11:49,334
Tricky.
243
00:11:49,411 --> 00:11:51,345
I like that in a woman.
244
00:11:51,647 --> 00:11:54,480
You wanna know all about
Richie King, right?
245
00:11:54,550 --> 00:11:56,108
Well, he was
a wonderful friend.
246
00:11:56,185 --> 00:11:58,779
A terrific guy.
Everybody loved him.
247
00:11:59,154 --> 00:12:00,815
Except his killer.
248
00:12:01,023 --> 00:12:03,753
Could it have been someone
connected with your show?
249
00:12:03,859 --> 00:12:06,794
Well, the police
questioned everyone, checked their alibis.
250
00:12:06,862 --> 00:12:08,056
Nothing.
251
00:12:09,131 --> 00:12:13,158
I keep thinking how
Richie always had a mob of weirdo fans hanging around.
252
00:12:13,235 --> 00:12:15,260
One of them could have slipped
into his dressing room and...
253
00:12:15,337 --> 00:12:16,463
MAN: Five minutes, everyone!
254
00:12:16,538 --> 00:12:19,735
Well, it sounds crazy,
till you stop to think about John Lennon.
255
00:12:19,808 --> 00:12:21,036
Oh, Artie.
256
00:12:22,578 --> 00:12:25,172
Hey, look, Ozzie's singing
the "Everybody's Out to Get Me" blues.
257
00:12:25,247 --> 00:12:26,236
I think you better
talk to him.
258
00:12:26,315 --> 00:12:27,805
Jessica Fletcher,
Art Sommers.
259
00:12:27,883 --> 00:12:30,317
Oh, hello, Mr. Sommers.
We talked on the phone.
260
00:12:30,385 --> 00:12:32,080
Oh, the mystery writer.
261
00:12:32,154 --> 00:12:33,883
I completely forgot
you were coming today.
262
00:12:33,956 --> 00:12:35,685
Please forgive me,
Mrs. Fletcher.
263
00:12:35,758 --> 00:12:38,625
Hey, don't worry about it.
She couldn't have had better company.
264
00:12:38,694 --> 00:12:40,753
For which I am very grateful.
265
00:12:40,829 --> 00:12:44,094
Oh, excuse me, Jessica.
Oz, you got a minute?
266
00:12:45,934 --> 00:12:47,731
CHOREOGRAPHER:
Five, six, seven, eight.
267
00:12:48,637 --> 00:12:50,696
I realize you're very busy,
Mr. Sommers.
268
00:12:50,773 --> 00:12:53,173
I mean, if another time
would be more convenient...
269
00:12:53,242 --> 00:12:55,210
No, I doubt it.
But let me warn you,
270
00:12:55,277 --> 00:12:57,404
I am not an authority
on the murder.
271
00:12:57,479 --> 00:12:59,811
And even when I saw the body,
I thought it was a gag.
272
00:12:59,882 --> 00:13:03,909
I expected Richie to jump up
and reveal the blood on his chest was ketchup.
273
00:13:03,986 --> 00:13:04,975
(LAUGHS)
274
00:13:05,521 --> 00:13:08,149
But it never happened.
275
00:13:09,224 --> 00:13:12,250
I'm sorry, the story
doesn't have a punchline.
276
00:13:12,828 --> 00:13:14,659
You know, I'm curious.
277
00:13:14,730 --> 00:13:17,358
Mr. Barnes seemed
startled when he saw me
278
00:13:17,432 --> 00:13:19,900
sitting out in the shadows
in the back of the house.
279
00:13:19,968 --> 00:13:20,957
Oh?
280
00:13:21,036 --> 00:13:23,800
I was under the impression
that he thought I was someone he knew.
281
00:13:23,872 --> 00:13:26,500
I mean, have you any idea
who that might be?
282
00:13:26,575 --> 00:13:29,169
No. No idea at all.
283
00:13:29,244 --> 00:13:31,838
Maybe Barry's getting
quirky in his old age.
284
00:13:31,914 --> 00:13:36,476
Oh, do you think so?
I thought he was very alert, very much on top of things.
285
00:13:36,552 --> 00:13:39,146
Girls. Girls, over here.
286
00:13:40,122 --> 00:13:43,455
This is Cathy Haley,
Marge Haley, and Lee Haley, my beautiful wife.
287
00:13:43,525 --> 00:13:44,514
Hello.
Hello.
288
00:13:44,593 --> 00:13:46,493
This is Jessica Fletcher.
She's writing a piece about the show.
289
00:13:46,562 --> 00:13:47,654
Hello.
Nice to meet you.
290
00:13:47,729 --> 00:13:48,718
Oh, how nice.
Delighted to meet you.
291
00:13:48,797 --> 00:13:50,628
Nice to meet you.
MAN: Welcome back,ladies and gentlemen.
292
00:13:50,699 --> 00:13:53,668
Let's get on withthe rehearsal, please.
293
00:13:53,735 --> 00:13:55,168
We'll see you later?
Good luck.
294
00:13:55,237 --> 00:13:56,602
Good.
Excuse us.
295
00:13:56,672 --> 00:13:57,934
I'll show you
the murder scene.
296
00:13:58,006 --> 00:13:59,166
Watch your step,
Mrs. Fletcher.
297
00:13:59,241 --> 00:14:01,471
MAN: Hey, Jim,let's work the lightson this rehearsal.
298
00:14:01,543 --> 00:14:03,773
LEE: Andy, would you
take it from the top?
299
00:14:04,179 --> 00:14:05,271
Same song?
300
00:14:05,647 --> 00:14:06,705
Yes.
301
00:14:07,282 --> 00:14:09,307
With or without dancers?
302
00:14:09,384 --> 00:14:12,012
With dancers, if you please.
303
00:14:13,088 --> 00:14:15,488
I'm starting to feel
real good about this.
304
00:14:15,557 --> 00:14:17,115
Well, I'm glad one of us is.
305
00:14:17,192 --> 00:14:18,386
(PIANO PLAYING)
306
00:14:18,460 --> 00:14:21,395
(SINGING) It was justone of those things
307
00:14:22,497 --> 00:14:25,933
Just one of thosecrazy flings
308
00:14:26,001 --> 00:14:27,992
No, Jessica.
309
00:14:28,070 --> 00:14:29,628
Listen to me, okay?
310
00:14:29,705 --> 00:14:32,731
You cannot just
give up and go home.
311
00:14:32,808 --> 00:14:34,605
But I have thought
about it very seriously,
312
00:14:34,676 --> 00:14:37,076
and I'm not convinced
that there's a book there.
313
00:14:37,145 --> 00:14:39,511
At least, not one that
I would care to write.
314
00:14:39,581 --> 00:14:41,071
Jessica, it's there.
315
00:14:41,650 --> 00:14:44,915
I know it is.
All you gotta do is just dig it out.
316
00:14:45,187 --> 00:14:48,122
If Richie King's killer
escaped 25 years ago,
317
00:14:48,190 --> 00:14:50,920
he's done a pretty good job
of covering his tracks.
318
00:14:50,993 --> 00:14:53,188
Are you telling me
this was a perfect crime?
319
00:14:53,262 --> 00:14:54,524
Oh, of course not.
320
00:14:54,596 --> 00:14:57,861
But for a quarter of
a century, it's been the next best thing.
321
00:14:57,933 --> 00:14:59,366
I'm sorry, Scott.
322
00:15:01,870 --> 00:15:03,804
Now she calls me Scott.
323
00:15:05,774 --> 00:15:07,105
(BARRY PLAYING PIANO)
324
00:15:17,252 --> 00:15:18,344
(DOOR OPENING)
325
00:15:29,798 --> 00:15:31,789
Hey, you gonna
stick around all night?
326
00:15:32,834 --> 00:15:34,961
This was Richie's
first big hit.
327
00:15:36,004 --> 00:15:37,665
What a waste.
328
00:15:38,373 --> 00:15:40,136
He was such a talented boy.
329
00:15:40,208 --> 00:15:41,436
I know.
330
00:15:42,811 --> 00:15:45,245
Look, Lee is waiting
for me at the hotel.
331
00:15:45,314 --> 00:15:47,714
Do you want to
join us for dinner?
332
00:15:47,783 --> 00:15:50,183
No, not tonight, thanks.
I'm ready to drop.
333
00:15:50,252 --> 00:15:51,776
(DOOR OPENING)
334
00:15:57,559 --> 00:15:59,186
Did you see that?
What?
335
00:16:01,296 --> 00:16:02,854
Somebody moving
in the dark.
336
00:16:02,931 --> 00:16:04,592
Where? I don't
see anything.
337
00:16:04,666 --> 00:16:06,964
I tell you,
there's somebody out there. Put on the house lights.
338
00:16:07,035 --> 00:16:08,900
House lights, please!
339
00:16:09,805 --> 00:16:11,170
Now, I know
you're there!
340
00:16:11,239 --> 00:16:12,968
Stop playing games,
and show yourself!
341
00:16:26,054 --> 00:16:27,180
Barry?
342
00:16:29,624 --> 00:16:30,818
Barry?
343
00:16:31,226 --> 00:16:33,194
Oh, my God, Barry...
344
00:16:34,896 --> 00:16:35,885
Barry.
345
00:16:43,505 --> 00:16:46,167
RECEPTIONIST: Yes. Yeah, 27.
346
00:16:47,409 --> 00:16:50,003
That's correct.
Surely. Bye-bye.
347
00:16:53,515 --> 00:16:54,539
May I help you?
348
00:16:54,616 --> 00:16:58,177
Oh, yes, please.
I received a message at my hotel
349
00:16:58,253 --> 00:17:02,053
that Mr. Barry Barnes
was a patient here and wanted to see me.
350
00:17:02,357 --> 00:17:04,985
If I seem a little confused,
it's because he seemed perfectly well
351
00:17:05,060 --> 00:17:07,358
when I saw him
a few hours ago.
352
00:17:07,429 --> 00:17:09,488
Apparently he suffered
a severe shock.
353
00:17:09,564 --> 00:17:10,997
Shock?
Well, what sort of shock?
354
00:17:11,066 --> 00:17:13,967
I'm not permitted
to discuss the details of his case.
355
00:17:14,036 --> 00:17:15,628
I'm sure you can
understand that.
356
00:17:15,704 --> 00:17:17,638
Of course. May I see him?
357
00:17:17,706 --> 00:17:19,401
He's resting.
I see.
358
00:17:23,445 --> 00:17:26,209
Mrs. Fletcher.
I see you got my message.
359
00:17:26,281 --> 00:17:27,805
Well, what happened?
360
00:17:27,883 --> 00:17:30,443
Barry collapsed
after the rehearsal.
361
00:17:30,519 --> 00:17:32,646
Well, is he all right?
362
00:17:32,721 --> 00:17:34,313
See for yourself.

We're having a ball.

Move over, darling.
Make room for Jessica.
367
00:18:01,016 --> 00:18:04,975
Barry, I expected to
find you in an oxygen tent, not having a party.
368
00:18:05,053 --> 00:18:06,714
Oh, it was nothing.
I hyperventilated.
369
00:18:06,788 --> 00:18:08,153
I'll be back at work tomorrow.
370
00:18:08,223 --> 00:18:09,451
Have a glass of champagne.
371
00:18:09,524 --> 00:18:11,014
I'll bet you do
a mean hula.
372
00:18:11,093 --> 00:18:13,584
Thank you,
but I really can't stay.
373
00:18:13,795 --> 00:18:14,955
Why? Where are you going?
374
00:18:15,030 --> 00:18:16,998
I'm going home to Maine.
375
00:18:17,065 --> 00:18:20,398
No, you can't do that.
Art, tell her she can't do that.
376
00:18:20,469 --> 00:18:24,269
She can do anything
she wants, Barry. She's not on your payroll.
377
00:18:26,174 --> 00:18:29,439
Out. Everybody out,
so I can have a minute alone with Jessica.
378
00:18:29,511 --> 00:18:31,342
Oh, here, darling, here.
379
00:18:31,413 --> 00:18:33,643

so you can find your way back.

at rehearsal?

I'll see you there.

I'm so glad
it wasn't your heart.
384
00:18:44,759 --> 00:18:47,523
Kid, you broke my heart
a long time ago.
385
00:18:47,596 --> 00:18:49,587
Take your husband
and get out of here.
386
00:18:49,664 --> 00:18:52,497
He hasn't come up
with a funny line since I fainted in his arms.

00:18:59,941 --> 00:19:03,104

Oh, please, sit down.

00:19:05,213 --> 00:19:06,407
Thanks.
391
00:19:09,317 --> 00:19:13,219
You weren't exactly serious
when you said it was nothing, were you?
392
00:19:14,022 --> 00:19:16,456
Well, I meant
it wasn't a heart attack.
393
00:19:16,525 --> 00:19:18,720
I passed out
from sheer panic.
394
00:19:19,361 --> 00:19:21,295
Do you remember
when I saw you standing in the dark,
395
00:19:21,363 --> 00:19:23,354
and I thought you were
somebody else? Mmm-hmm.
396
00:19:23,431 --> 00:19:24,830
I saw her,
397
00:19:24,900 --> 00:19:27,801
for the second time
in my life, the woman in black.
398
00:19:27,869 --> 00:19:29,530
Someone you knew?
399
00:19:30,238 --> 00:19:33,799
I couldn't see her face.
She was heavily veiled, like a woman in mourning.
400
00:19:33,875 --> 00:19:35,308
The same as the first time.
401
00:19:35,377 --> 00:19:36,469
And that was...
402
00:19:36,545 --> 00:19:38,911
The night after
Richie's murder.
403
00:19:39,481 --> 00:19:42,143
She was standing
in the wings, pointing at me,
404
00:19:42,217 --> 00:19:44,742
as if accusing me
of Richie's death.
405
00:19:45,187 --> 00:19:46,882
Then she was gone.
406
00:19:48,156 --> 00:19:50,522
She's been in my nightmares
ever since.
407
00:19:50,592 --> 00:19:52,958
But what have I got to do
with your nightmares?
408
00:19:53,028 --> 00:19:55,690
I mean,
why did you send for me?
409
00:19:56,798 --> 00:20:00,165
Well, I know all about you.
I read all your books.
410
00:20:00,635 --> 00:20:03,103
Looked up some of
the cases you solved.
411
00:20:03,171 --> 00:20:06,470
Now, you have a way
of getting at the root of a problem.
412
00:20:06,541 --> 00:20:09,635
That's why I suggested
to my brother-in-law's nephew that you'd be perfect
413
00:20:09,711 --> 00:20:11,702
for writing a book
about Richie's murder.
414
00:20:11,780 --> 00:20:16,012
Oh, that nephew
wouldn't by any chance be Scott Fielding, would it?
415
00:20:16,218 --> 00:20:18,846
Oh, a know-it-all,
but a good kid.
416
00:20:19,854 --> 00:20:21,321
You put him up to it.
417
00:20:21,389 --> 00:20:22,822
Look, I'm being
straight with you.
418
00:20:22,891 --> 00:20:26,054
I knew if I invited
you myself, you wouldn't come.
419
00:20:27,028 --> 00:20:28,893
Look, Jessica, I'm desperate.
420
00:20:28,964 --> 00:20:32,092
The memory of
the woman in black has haunted me for 25 years,
421
00:20:32,167 --> 00:20:33,930
and now she's back.
422
00:20:35,003 --> 00:20:37,301
To tell you the truth,
my heart's not that good.
423
00:20:37,872 --> 00:20:39,339
My daughter's gonna have
her first baby,
424
00:20:39,407 --> 00:20:42,843
and I want to live
to see my grandchild. Is that so terrible?
425
00:20:42,911 --> 00:20:44,401
What can I do?
426
00:20:44,479 --> 00:20:45,810
What the cops couldn't do.
427
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:47,142
Get a line on
the woman in black,
428
00:20:47,215 --> 00:20:50,343
and find out who really
knocked off Richie King so she'll leave me alone.
429
00:20:50,418 --> 00:20:53,717
I'm overwhelmed
by your faith in me, Barry, but I'm a writer.
430
00:20:53,788 --> 00:20:57,246
I mean, this calls for
a real trained detective.
431
00:20:57,325 --> 00:20:59,759
You want a detective?
You got him.
432
00:21:03,698 --> 00:21:05,131
Hello, sweet lips.
433
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,192
You miss me, sugar pie?
My secretary.
434
00:21:09,104 --> 00:21:11,004
Huh? Oh, I'm feeling great.
435
00:21:11,072 --> 00:21:13,700
Now, listen, be a good bunny
and give Jessica Fletcher
436
00:21:13,775 --> 00:21:16,335
the phone number of
Sergeant Kowalski.
437
00:21:16,811 --> 00:21:18,210
Kowalski?
438
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:22,182
Kowalski is the detective
who was in charge of the Richie King investigation.
439
00:21:23,618 --> 00:21:26,746
BARRY: A real character.He was known asthe Broadway Bulldog.
440
00:21:26,821 --> 00:21:30,416

442
00:21:37,332 --> 00:21:39,266
Oh, thank you,
Mr. Kowalski.
443
00:21:39,334 --> 00:21:40,858
Or should I say Sergeant?
444
00:21:40,935 --> 00:21:42,732
No, Bulldog
will do just fine.
445
00:21:42,804 --> 00:21:43,964
(BOTH LAUGH)
446
00:21:44,039 --> 00:21:48,533
Barry Barnes told me
that you've saved every word from the Richie King case?
447
00:21:48,610 --> 00:21:50,510
Yeah, I got tired of
living with the mess.
448
00:21:50,578 --> 00:21:52,239
I put it all in here.
449
00:21:52,314 --> 00:21:53,303
Oh, I see.
450
00:21:53,381 --> 00:21:55,281
You want me to
fire this thing up for you?
451
00:21:55,350 --> 00:21:56,647
Sure.
452
00:21:56,718 --> 00:21:58,049
Okay, here we go.
453
00:22:03,925 --> 00:22:05,415
There we are.
454
00:22:05,493 --> 00:22:07,984
There, that's statements from
all the people concerned.
455
00:22:08,063 --> 00:22:10,122
There was no witness,
of course.
456
00:22:10,198 --> 00:22:12,928
And the alibis, there,
they was all confirmed.
457
00:22:13,768 --> 00:22:16,134
And where was Barry Barnes
at the time of the murder?
458
00:22:16,204 --> 00:22:20,368
He was onstage
in front of 50 people, rehearsing the cowboy sketch.
459
00:22:22,644 --> 00:22:24,612
That doesn't make sense.
460
00:22:26,581 --> 00:22:28,515
What do you have
on the woman in black?
461
00:22:28,583 --> 00:22:30,915
Oh, the shady lady.
Yeah. Well, here.
462
00:22:31,486 --> 00:22:33,420
Now, that is
an artist's conception
463
00:22:33,488 --> 00:22:36,457
of the way she looked,
based on Barry's description.
464
00:22:36,524 --> 00:22:41,018
Well, Barry said that
he saw her again, pointing an accusing finger at him.
465
00:22:41,863 --> 00:22:44,696
Like she was saying
that he was the one who did it.
466
00:22:44,766 --> 00:22:46,427
Yes, but why would
she accuse Barry,
467
00:22:46,501 --> 00:22:48,230
who couldn't possibly
have done it?
468
00:22:48,303 --> 00:22:50,430
I don't know. Maybe
she don't care about logic.
469
00:22:50,505 --> 00:22:53,030
Maybe she just likes to
frighten comedians.
470
00:22:54,642 --> 00:22:56,769
Would you like a rundown
on the ladies in the case?
471
00:22:56,845 --> 00:22:58,073
That might be
a very good idea.
472
00:22:58,146 --> 00:22:59,545
Here we go.
473
00:23:01,249 --> 00:23:02,477
There.
474
00:23:02,550 --> 00:23:05,110
I don't know how you feel
about the Haley Sisters,
475
00:23:05,186 --> 00:23:09,213
but 25 years ago
they was sweet young girls, fresh from Iowa.
476
00:23:09,290 --> 00:23:11,224
They still had
the corn silk in their hair.
477
00:23:12,460 --> 00:23:13,654
Oh, yeah.
478
00:23:13,762 --> 00:23:17,459
Now, this is some time later.
This is after the murder.
479
00:23:17,532 --> 00:23:20,262
I expect that you
will be more interested in this lady here.
480
00:23:20,335 --> 00:23:23,065
This is Sharon King.
That was Richie's wife.
481
00:23:23,138 --> 00:23:25,971
Oh. Well, no one has
even mentioned her.
482
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,702
Now, was she in the theater
when her husband was murdered?
483
00:23:28,777 --> 00:23:32,372
Yeah, yeah. But
she left 20 minutes before it happened.
484
00:23:32,447 --> 00:23:35,416
A lot of witnesses
saw her kissing Richie goodbye at the door.
485
00:23:35,483 --> 00:23:37,348
She could have
slipped back later, I guess.
486
00:23:38,153 --> 00:23:40,314
Do you know
where she is now?
487
00:23:40,388 --> 00:23:41,878
Yeah. You wanna meet her?
488
00:23:53,435 --> 00:23:55,528
SHARON: My favorite bulldog.
489
00:23:57,806 --> 00:23:59,933
Hey, Sharon,
just as beautiful as ever.
490
00:24:00,008 --> 00:24:04,274
Watch it. That kind of talk
will give you the business end of this hose.
491
00:24:04,779 --> 00:24:05,768
Hello.
Hello.
492
00:24:05,847 --> 00:24:06,939
I'm Sharon King.
493
00:24:07,015 --> 00:24:09,848
(STUTTERS)
This charming lady is Jessica Fletcher.
494
00:24:09,918 --> 00:24:11,351
She is a writer.
495
00:24:11,419 --> 00:24:13,717
I'm very pleased
to meet you, Sharon.
496
00:24:13,788 --> 00:24:15,847
He brought you here
to talk about Richie.
497
00:24:16,191 --> 00:24:17,624
Well, yes.
498
00:24:17,692 --> 00:24:19,159
I'm not a mind-reader,
499
00:24:19,227 --> 00:24:22,526
but he never invites anyone
unless he thinks he's got
500
00:24:22,597 --> 00:24:24,997
a new lead for
that very old case.
501
00:24:25,266 --> 00:24:26,961
Now, don't you believe
a word of that.
502
00:24:27,035 --> 00:24:29,663
Hey, how are
the grandchildren, the three little angels?
503
00:24:29,737 --> 00:24:31,102
The girls are
with their mother,
504
00:24:31,172 --> 00:24:34,630
probably enjoying
their first ride in a tow car.
505
00:24:34,709 --> 00:24:36,438
Kelly called
right after I talked to you,
506
00:24:36,511 --> 00:24:38,240
and she's having trouble
with her car.
507
00:24:38,313 --> 00:24:41,680
So as soon as I get
the dust off my wagon,
508
00:24:41,749 --> 00:24:44,411
I've gotta go and pick up
my grandson at kindergarten,
509
00:24:44,486 --> 00:24:47,683
and then I've got to
take him to the dentist. I'm very sorry.
510
00:24:47,755 --> 00:24:50,519
It seems to me
your priorities are clear.
511
00:24:51,059 --> 00:24:52,788
Okay, we'll cut it short.
512
00:24:52,861 --> 00:24:55,056
Jessica is interested
in the woman in black
513
00:24:55,129 --> 00:24:59,122
who allegedly appeared
to Barry Barnes the night after the murder.
514
00:24:59,501 --> 00:25:02,766
Seems she's popped up again,
after all these years.
515
00:25:03,705 --> 00:25:05,570
And you're wondering
if it was me.
516
00:25:06,107 --> 00:25:09,668
I might have pulled a stunt
like that 25 years ago.
517
00:25:09,744 --> 00:25:12,338
When Bulldog first knew me,
I was high-strung.
518
00:25:12,413 --> 00:25:14,847
My husband had
just been murdered.
519
00:25:15,550 --> 00:25:18,485
I realize that Barry's eyes
aren't as good as they used to be,
520
00:25:18,553 --> 00:25:23,752
but can you honestly imagine
anybody mistaking me for an avenging angel?
521
00:25:25,860 --> 00:25:27,760
Black isn't my color.
522
00:25:29,230 --> 00:25:31,960
I thought she ought to
hear it from you.
523
00:25:35,303 --> 00:25:38,568
Frankly, I don't know
why you want to dig up
524
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,609
an old murder that
most everyone's forgotten.
525
00:25:44,779 --> 00:25:46,974
Richie was a beautiful man.
526
00:25:47,382 --> 00:25:52,046
He missed seeing a daughter
grow into a lovely woman with adorable children.
527
00:25:52,620 --> 00:25:53,780
They mean the world to me,
528
00:25:53,855 --> 00:25:56,483
and I don't want to see
anything dredged up that could hurt them.
529
00:25:56,558 --> 00:25:58,048
I'm not looking for scandal.
530
00:25:58,126 --> 00:26:00,253
I can't tell you
what to do, of course.
531
00:26:00,328 --> 00:26:05,425
But I wish you would let
Richie King remain the man his family can be proud of.
532
00:26:08,136 --> 00:26:11,936
If you'll excuse me.
Grandmothers should never be late.
533
00:26:12,006 --> 00:26:13,200
Of course.
534
00:26:27,055 --> 00:26:31,014
You realize she just
hinted at a dark secret,
535
00:26:31,092 --> 00:26:33,856
and you didn't ask
a single question.
536
00:26:33,928 --> 00:26:36,488
Didn't have to.
I know the answer.
537
00:26:37,065 --> 00:26:39,795
The worst-kept secret
in show business.
538
00:26:39,867 --> 00:26:43,826
Richie King,
that fine family man, was a skirt-chaser.
539
00:26:45,273 --> 00:26:46,433
He liked them young.
540
00:26:47,575 --> 00:26:49,634
But if you think that's gonna
make me drop this case,
541
00:26:49,711 --> 00:26:52,373
you just don't know
why they call me Bulldog.
542
00:26:55,883 --> 00:26:58,818
(HALEY SISTERS SINGING)Move over, sun,
543
00:26:58,886 --> 00:27:02,515
And give me some sky
544
00:27:02,590 --> 00:27:06,151
I've got me some wings
545
00:27:06,227 --> 00:27:09,924
I'm eager to try
546
00:27:09,998 --> 00:27:13,456
I may be unknown
547
00:27:13,534 --> 00:27:18,198
But wait till I've flown
548
00:27:18,272 --> 00:27:24,575
You're gonna hear from me
549
00:27:24,646 --> 00:27:28,104
Make me some room
550
00:27:28,182 --> 00:27:30,742
You people up there
551
00:27:30,818 --> 00:27:33,082
Art, this, in case
you haven't seen it,
552
00:27:33,154 --> 00:27:34,644
is a copy of the final script.
553
00:27:34,722 --> 00:27:36,246
We're taking our names
off the show, Art.
554
00:27:36,324 --> 00:27:39,054
Okay, come on, hold it down,
will you?
555
00:27:39,260 --> 00:27:42,627
I'm staking my claim
556

You're gonna hear from me
558
00:27:51,873 --> 00:27:55,104
Nothing's changed, not even
the Haley Sisters' act.
559
00:27:57,645 --> 00:28:00,375
Our sketch is gone.
You didn't even have the decency to tell us.
560
00:28:00,448 --> 00:28:01,608
Or the guts.
You sold us out.
561
00:28:01,683 --> 00:28:03,241
Look, we'll talk
about it later, all right?
562
00:28:03,317 --> 00:28:04,944
Later is too late.
563
00:28:06,387 --> 00:28:07,854
Mrs. Fletcher,
564
00:28:07,922 --> 00:28:10,550
Barry was just
asking for you.
565
00:28:10,625 --> 00:28:13,116
Hello, Sergeant.
Hey, you look good. You lost some weight.
566
00:28:13,194 --> 00:28:14,889
Yeah, couple of pounds maybe.
567
00:28:14,962 --> 00:28:17,396
Well, that's one of the fringe
benefits of police retirement.
568
00:28:17,465 --> 00:28:18,693
No more free donuts.
569
00:28:18,766 --> 00:28:19,892
(LAUGHING)
Yeah.
570
00:28:20,201 --> 00:28:21,225
Where is Barry?
571
00:28:21,302 --> 00:28:22,894
He's changing for rehearsal.
572
00:28:22,970 --> 00:28:24,528
Hey, look, why don't you grab
a couple of seats inside,
573
00:28:24,605 --> 00:28:25,629
and I'll tell him
you're here.
574
00:28:25,707 --> 00:28:28,369
Thank you.
All right. Around to your left.
575
00:28:28,443 --> 00:28:30,434
Good to see you, Sergeant.
576
00:28:30,511 --> 00:28:31,500
Art, Art.
577
00:28:31,579 --> 00:28:34,104
We just took out
full page ads in both trade papers
578
00:28:34,182 --> 00:28:35,649
telling people
to watch our sketch.
579
00:28:35,717 --> 00:28:37,150
They're gonna think
we're complete idiots.
580
00:28:37,218 --> 00:28:38,947
Look, what do you guys
want from me?
581
00:28:39,020 --> 00:28:41,079
We'll start with
your liver.
582
00:28:42,323 --> 00:28:43,722
That's not funny.
583
00:28:46,060 --> 00:28:52,898
You're gonna hear from me
584
00:28:56,437 --> 00:28:58,371
That's nice.
It really is.
585
00:28:58,439 --> 00:28:59,463

Who'd kill a writer?
626
00:31:06,567 --> 00:31:10,003
So you just walked into
the dressing room and started talking to a dead man?
627
00:31:10,071 --> 00:31:13,632
I didn't know he was dead
until I took a good look at him.
628
00:31:13,708 --> 00:31:15,300
Then I ran out screaming.
629
00:31:15,376 --> 00:31:16,775
You could have
conked him first.

in the dressing room five seconds.

My grief is personal.
I have no intention of making a show of it.

Why were you so hot to talk
to your brother-in-law?

I wanted to ask him to get me
out of the comedy sketch.

I hated it.
638
00:31:36,364 --> 00:31:38,025
Why did you want to talk to
your brother-in-law
639
00:31:38,099 --> 00:31:39,862
instead of Barry Barnes,
who runs the show?
640
00:31:39,934 --> 00:31:42,300
That has nothing to do
with the murder. I'll decide that.

wanna go downtown and talk.

You mean that
Barry's head writer was your personal manager?

of interest.

about the argument
you had with Art outside my dressing room?
648

He hated me.
He wanted me off the show.
649
00:32:08,529 --> 00:32:09,553
So you had a motive.
650
00:32:09,630 --> 00:32:11,962
No, no. He hated me,
I didn't hate him.

I wanted to see.

Oh, Lieutenant Meyerling,
this is Jessica Fletcher.

How do you do?
659
00:32:34,355 --> 00:32:37,688
Just butt out, Bulldog.
This is not the old murder that you screwed up.
660

This is a new one
and it belongs to me, and I do not screw up.
661

Oh.
662
00:32:42,163 --> 00:32:44,654
Well, then I'm sure
you've questioned the two writers
663
00:32:44,732 --> 00:32:47,200
who had angry words
with Art Sommers.
664
00:32:47,702 --> 00:32:49,795
Their names were
Lyman and Roth.
665
00:32:49,870 --> 00:32:52,202
Come to think of it,
I haven't seen them recently. Have you, Bulldog?
666
00:32:52,273 --> 00:32:54,173
No, no, not since the murder.
667
00:32:57,011 --> 00:32:58,569
This is
Lieutenant Meyerling.
668
00:32:58,646 --> 00:33:00,807

for letting a couple
of suspects get away.
670
00:33:04,819 --> 00:33:06,252
We didn't even know
he was dead.
671
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:07,685
We heard about it
at the Writers' Guild
672
00:33:07,755 --> 00:33:10,383
when we tried to file
a complaint against him.
673
00:33:10,458 --> 00:33:12,449
Why don't we have
a little talk at the murder scene?
674
00:33:12,526 --> 00:33:15,051
It might bring back
a few memories. Let's go.
675
00:33:20,201 --> 00:33:22,226
I hope they talk
better than they write.

and the phones work just fine.
683
00:33:44,291 --> 00:33:47,124
I talked to my kids
a little while ago.
684
00:33:47,194 --> 00:33:50,288
The news about the murder
was on TV already, and they were upset.
685
00:33:50,364 --> 00:33:51,592
Well, of course
they would be.
686
00:33:51,665 --> 00:33:53,132
I mean,
with you being so close.
687
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:54,861
No, not only that.
688
00:33:55,636 --> 00:33:57,570
They were crazy about Art.
689
00:33:58,305 --> 00:34:00,205
He was good with kids.
690
00:34:01,275 --> 00:34:04,108
He and Lee never had
any of their own,
691
00:34:04,745 --> 00:34:08,374
but he was just
a terrific uncle to his nieces and nephew.
692
00:34:09,250 --> 00:34:10,547
I'm sorry.
693
00:34:11,118 --> 00:34:14,212
I'm not like Lee.
I can't bottle up my emotions.
694
00:34:14,555 --> 00:34:16,352
Well, it's hard
for some people
695
00:34:16,424 --> 00:34:18,415
to express their feelings.
696
00:34:18,492 --> 00:34:20,619
Lee's always been like that.
697
00:34:21,562 --> 00:34:25,931
She didn't even cry
when Mom and Dad died a few weeks apart in 1966.
698
00:34:27,068 --> 00:34:28,535
She's the strong one.
699
00:34:28,602 --> 00:34:31,162
Marge and I are just
a couple of weak sisters.
700
00:34:31,238 --> 00:34:33,763
We'd still be clerking
at the five-and-dime
701
00:34:33,841 --> 00:34:36,139
if she hadn't dragged us
into show business.
702
00:34:36,210 --> 00:34:38,007
Even then, I hated performing.
703
00:34:38,079 --> 00:34:40,377
I just wanted to live my life.
704
00:34:40,915 --> 00:34:43,850
But they were willing
to pay us, and money was short at home.
705
00:34:43,918 --> 00:34:45,442
There was no way
we could go to college.
706
00:34:45,519 --> 00:34:48,750
Is that why
you retired in 1974, to go to college?
707
00:34:49,190 --> 00:34:51,055
We never got around to that.
708
00:34:51,392 --> 00:34:52,825
I got married in '73.
709
00:34:52,893 --> 00:34:55,293
'74 was when we started
our family.
710
00:34:55,362 --> 00:34:58,263
And how did your sisters
feel about retirement?
711
00:34:58,332 --> 00:34:59,663
Lee was already married.
712
00:34:59,733 --> 00:35:01,894
I think she was glad to
get away from the road.
713
00:35:01,969 --> 00:35:03,027
But Marge wasn't married.
714
00:35:03,104 --> 00:35:06,596
I mean, I was always
surprised that she didn't go out on her own.
715
00:35:07,775 --> 00:35:10,573
Mrs. Fletcher,
what do I have to do to get away from here?
716
00:35:10,644 --> 00:35:12,407
Can the police make me stay?
717
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:14,209
Well, I'm not sure.
718
00:35:14,748 --> 00:35:19,447
It depends whether
they feel that you're a material witness,
719
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,080
or if they consider
you a suspect.
720
00:35:22,156 --> 00:35:23,282
No way!
721
00:35:24,592 --> 00:35:26,685
I couldn't have killed Art.
722
00:35:28,395 --> 00:35:31,421
He was Lee's husband,
and a friend.
723
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:33,624
I see.
724
00:35:35,236 --> 00:35:37,830
How did you feel
about Richie King?
725
00:35:38,172 --> 00:35:39,161
Honestly?
726
00:35:41,308 --> 00:35:43,299
I thought he was a creep.
727
00:35:44,778 --> 00:35:47,076
But I didn't kill him, either.
728
00:35:54,088 --> 00:35:56,318
Okay, what do you want me
to punch up on this thing?
729
00:35:56,390 --> 00:35:59,223
That photograph of
the Haley family.
730
00:35:59,293 --> 00:36:00,555
You got it.
731
00:36:01,762 --> 00:36:03,127
It was something
that Cathy said.
732
00:36:03,197 --> 00:36:05,290
I mean,
a bell just went off.
733
00:36:05,366 --> 00:36:06,390
Yeah.
734
00:36:06,467 --> 00:36:09,630
Now, you see that man there?
That has to be their father.
735
00:36:09,703 --> 00:36:12,103
Now, that has to be
their mother.
736
00:36:12,173 --> 00:36:13,902
Yeah. Am I missing something?
737
00:36:13,974 --> 00:36:18,843
Now, Cathy said that both
her parents died in 1966.
738
00:36:18,913 --> 00:36:22,110
Now, she didn't start
her family until 1974,
739
00:36:22,183 --> 00:36:24,981
so that baby there
couldn't possibly be
740
00:36:25,052 --> 00:36:26,781
one of Cathy's
teenage daughters.
741
00:36:26,854 --> 00:36:28,321
Well, Cathy was
just a kid then.
742
00:36:28,389 --> 00:36:30,323
She was like 17, 18 years.
743
00:36:31,492 --> 00:36:35,394
What was it you said
that Richie "liked them young"?
744
00:36:39,233 --> 00:36:41,201
All these years I've been
looking at that picture,
745
00:36:41,268 --> 00:36:43,668
it never occurred to me,
the possibility that
746
00:36:43,737 --> 00:36:48,106
I was looking at
Richie King's baby by Cathy Haley.
747
00:36:49,710 --> 00:36:51,507
You know,
Cathy said something else.
748
00:36:51,579 --> 00:36:54,878
She said that Art was
such a terrific uncle
749
00:36:54,949 --> 00:36:57,474
to his nieces and nephew.
750
00:36:58,185 --> 00:37:00,380
What nephew?
She had two girls.
751
00:37:00,688 --> 00:37:01,746
Yeah.
752
00:37:02,523 --> 00:37:07,256
Sergeant, you see
what seems to be a scarf on Marge's left shoulder?
753
00:37:07,328 --> 00:37:09,057
If I'm not mistaken,
that is a diaper.
754
00:37:09,129 --> 00:37:11,097
And you see
that blurry object in her right hand?
755
00:37:11,165 --> 00:37:12,757
That has to be
a baby's bottle.
756
00:37:12,833 --> 00:37:16,269
Then you are saying that
Cathy is handing the baby
757
00:37:16,337 --> 00:37:18,805
over to be fed
by its mother?
758
00:37:18,872 --> 00:37:19,861
Marge.
759
00:37:21,642 --> 00:37:23,576
Something else in the file
you ought to see.
760
00:37:23,644 --> 00:37:24,838
(KEYBOARD CLACKING)
761
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,075
That is a hospital
admissions certificate.
762
00:37:29,149 --> 00:37:30,741
When Marge gave birth.
763
00:37:30,818 --> 00:37:34,015
No, no, this is
a different kind of hospital, and this is later.
764
00:37:34,088 --> 00:37:35,919
So much later,
that all these years
765
00:37:35,990 --> 00:37:38,618
I never connected it
with Richie King's murder.
766
00:37:38,692 --> 00:37:41,627
I clean forgot about it
until just now.
767
00:37:41,695 --> 00:37:42,923
1974.
768
00:37:42,997 --> 00:37:46,194
That was the year that
the Haley Sisters retired.
769
00:37:47,768 --> 00:37:48,792
Yeah.
770
00:37:50,204 --> 00:37:51,967
MARGE: I don't know
what you're talking about.
771
00:37:52,039 --> 00:37:54,303
You must have made
some kind of a mistake.
772
00:37:54,908 --> 00:37:56,466
I don't think so, Marge.
773
00:38:01,081 --> 00:38:03,515
Look at this old
family photograph.
774
00:38:04,952 --> 00:38:06,886
Tell me what you think.
775
00:38:09,623 --> 00:38:12,820
Where did you get this?
I haven't seen this in years.
776
00:38:13,460 --> 00:38:15,052
That's your baby, isn't it?
777
00:38:15,129 --> 00:38:17,324
He must be
quite grown up now.
778
00:38:17,731 --> 00:38:18,720
Where is he?
779
00:38:19,633 --> 00:38:21,624
He's in graduate school.
780
00:38:24,672 --> 00:38:28,233
Yes, he's my baby.
781
00:38:30,377 --> 00:38:32,436
Mine and Richie's.
782
00:38:37,017 --> 00:38:39,485
Lee tried to warn me
about Richie,
783
00:38:40,621 --> 00:38:42,612
but I was 20 years old.
784
00:38:42,690 --> 00:38:45,158
Nobody could
tell me anything.
785
00:38:45,793 --> 00:38:47,090
Richie King.
786
00:38:48,162 --> 00:38:51,222
I thought sneaking around
with Richie King would be
787
00:38:51,298 --> 00:38:55,200
the most romantic thing
in the whole world.
788
00:38:58,472 --> 00:39:00,531
I can't believe
how dumb I was.
789
00:39:03,811 --> 00:39:05,472
When did you
start seeing him?
790
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:10,678
About three months
before he asked Barry to put us on the show.
791
00:39:11,251 --> 00:39:13,276
That's how we got the job.
792
00:39:13,354 --> 00:39:15,720
And nobody knew
that I was pregnant.
793
00:39:15,789 --> 00:39:20,089
And, of course,
I wanted so desperately to have Richie's baby.
794
00:39:21,528 --> 00:39:24,395
I still thought I was
so in love with him.
795
00:39:26,467 --> 00:39:29,436
But then I saw
the look on his face
796
00:39:30,504 --> 00:39:32,028
when I told him.
797
00:39:35,142 --> 00:39:37,406
That must have
hurt you terribly.
798
00:39:39,546 --> 00:39:40,740
I hated him.
799
00:39:41,148 --> 00:39:45,585
I cried and I cried so,
and I carried on.
800
00:39:46,019 --> 00:39:49,216
He tried to make mekeep still,and I slapped him.
801
00:39:49,289 --> 00:39:51,757
I even threatenedto call his wife.
802
00:39:52,226 --> 00:39:55,252
And then Richie saidhe didn't want towork with me anymore.
803
00:39:55,729 --> 00:39:58,755
He was going to ask Barryto bump us from the show,
804
00:39:58,832 --> 00:40:01,323
and we would bereplaced by another act.
805
00:40:01,635 --> 00:40:03,227
I was in a panic then.
806
00:40:04,838 --> 00:40:06,999
This was our big break,
807
00:40:07,074 --> 00:40:09,406
and Lee and Cathy
were so excited.
808
00:40:09,843 --> 00:40:11,777
And Mom and Dad,
they had called them,
809
00:40:11,845 --> 00:40:14,370
and half of Iowa was
tuned in to watch us on the show.
810
00:40:14,448 --> 00:40:15,710
We had to be on the show.
811
00:40:15,783 --> 00:40:18,684
We just had to be
on that show!
812
00:40:18,752 --> 00:40:21,778
And then Richie told me to
get out of his dressing room.
813
00:40:21,855 --> 00:40:23,083
I was frantic.
814
00:40:23,424 --> 00:40:25,984
I couldn'tlet it end this way.
815
00:40:26,193 --> 00:40:28,457
We were having dinnerin his dressing room,
816
00:40:28,529 --> 00:40:31,020
and there was a steak knifeon the table,
817
00:40:31,098 --> 00:40:32,998
and I picked it up,
818
00:40:33,066 --> 00:40:36,695
and he said I was crazy.
819
00:40:37,638 --> 00:40:40,436
And then he came closer,and he tried to reachfor the knife,
820
00:40:40,507 --> 00:40:42,566
and then I just stabbed him!
821
00:40:43,744 --> 00:40:45,234
You left something out,
didn't you?
822
00:40:45,312 --> 00:40:47,303
Something very important.
823
00:40:48,148 --> 00:40:50,048
There was a witness there.
824
00:40:53,053 --> 00:40:54,042
Yes.
825
00:40:56,623 --> 00:40:57,783
It was Art.
826
00:41:02,629 --> 00:41:05,564
I knew what I had done
was a terrible thing.
827
00:41:06,233 --> 00:41:09,532
I wouldn't have blamed Art
if he had called the police.
828
00:41:09,603 --> 00:41:11,036
But he didn't.
829
00:41:11,839 --> 00:41:15,605
Barry told me that
you didn't care for Art when you first met him, Lee.
830
00:41:15,676 --> 00:41:18,144
That you didn't want
anything to do with him.
831
00:41:18,479 --> 00:41:20,538
But within a few weeks
of the murder,
832
00:41:20,614 --> 00:41:22,844
you became his wife.
Why, Lee?
833
00:41:23,450 --> 00:41:25,418
Were you being
blackmailed by a man
834
00:41:25,486 --> 00:41:27,716
who was hopelessly in love?
835
00:41:27,788 --> 00:41:31,690
You're very clever, Jessica,
about making things up.
836
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:35,355
You've just put words
in my sister's mouth.
837
00:41:36,730 --> 00:41:39,324
And Marge will deny everything
that was said in this room, and so will I.
838
00:41:39,399 --> 00:41:41,458
It will be our word
against yours.
839
00:41:41,835 --> 00:41:42,893
BULLDOG: And mine.
840
00:41:44,571 --> 00:41:47,438
Thanks for leaving
the door open, Jessica.
841
00:41:49,476 --> 00:41:51,808
I get it. A set up.
842
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,714
Well, I don't care
what you thought you heard.
843
00:41:55,782 --> 00:41:58,444
I'm not going to allow
my sister to be tried for murder.
844
00:41:58,519 --> 00:42:00,817
I'm sure that
that won't be necessary.
845
00:42:00,888 --> 00:42:04,255
I have here a printout
from the files of a mental institution
846
00:42:04,324 --> 00:42:08,920
that says that you committed
your sister Marge in 1974,
847
00:42:08,996 --> 00:42:12,955
which probably explains
the early retirement of the Haley Sisters.
848
00:42:13,033 --> 00:42:14,398
You give me that!
849
00:42:14,468 --> 00:42:16,766
No, it's no use.
I got the original.
850
00:42:16,837 --> 00:42:18,270
I can make a lot of copies.
851
00:42:18,338 --> 00:42:22,798
The hospital records show
that Marge might not have been responsible for her actions.
852
00:42:22,876 --> 00:42:25,344
She has a history of
emotional disturbances,
853
00:42:25,412 --> 00:42:26,902
going back to early childhood.
854
00:42:26,980 --> 00:42:29,915
They released her from
the hospital in 1983,
855
00:42:29,983 --> 00:42:33,419
saying she needed
no further treatment or confinement.
856
00:42:33,487 --> 00:42:36,752
They released me
because I was cured, wasn't I, Lee? Huh?
857
00:42:36,823 --> 00:42:39,383
Well, what if she is cured?
What are you driving at?
858
00:42:39,459 --> 00:42:43,361
JESSICA: That she could be
capable of distinguishing between right and wrong.
859
00:42:44,031 --> 00:42:47,831
You knew that what you did
to Art Sommers was wrong, didn't you, Marge?
860
00:42:47,901 --> 00:42:50,563
Now, wait a minute.
You have no right!
861
00:42:50,637 --> 00:42:52,662
After you finished
rehearsing your number,
862
00:42:52,739 --> 00:42:55,902
you went back
to your dressing room, and Art was there waiting.
863
00:42:55,976 --> 00:42:59,412
Now, Art lied
when he said he never saw the woman in black.
864
00:42:59,479 --> 00:43:01,879
He not only saw her,
but he knew who she was.
865
00:43:02,249 --> 00:43:04,342
I wouldn't have hurt Barry.
866
00:43:05,018 --> 00:43:07,543
I just wanted him
to share my guilt.
867
00:43:08,088 --> 00:43:11,251
He did Richie a favor
by having us on the show,
868
00:43:11,325 --> 00:43:13,691
but it was his fault that
we were in the dressing room.
869
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:16,752
I told him it was his fault,
and I told... I told Richie it was his fault.
870
00:43:16,830 --> 00:43:18,354
I had to kill him!
871
00:43:18,432 --> 00:43:20,161
For God's sake,
please don't do this!
872
00:43:20,233 --> 00:43:21,359
What did Art say to you?
873
00:43:21,435 --> 00:43:23,027
That you were
jeopardizing the act?
874
00:43:23,103 --> 00:43:24,127
No!
875
00:43:24,204 --> 00:43:26,866
Is that the reason
that you snatched at the nearest thing,
876
00:43:26,940 --> 00:43:29,738
a heavy vase filled
with flowers and water?
877
00:43:29,810 --> 00:43:32,335
You swung it at his head hard.
878
00:43:32,412 --> 00:43:33,674
You killed him.
879
00:43:33,747 --> 00:43:35,146
No! Lee!
880
00:43:35,215 --> 00:43:36,978
Stop it, stop this!
881
00:43:39,219 --> 00:43:41,278
Marge did not kill Art.
882
00:43:42,022 --> 00:43:43,546
I killed Art!
883
00:43:50,163 --> 00:43:51,687
I found him
in the dressing room
884
00:43:51,765 --> 00:43:54,097
when I came back
from the stage.
885
00:43:54,468 --> 00:43:57,164
He said that Marge had been
up to her old tricks,
886
00:43:57,237 --> 00:44:01,571
and that we had to get
stronger tranquilizers to keep her under control.
887
00:44:02,976 --> 00:44:05,376
I said that being
back in the theater,
888
00:44:05,445 --> 00:44:09,245
being back in that
dressing room was just too traumatic for Marge.
889
00:44:09,316 --> 00:44:12,911
I wanted to put her
back in the hospital, just for a while, but...
890
00:44:13,453 --> 00:44:16,286
And our comeback
would have to wait.
891
00:44:16,923 --> 00:44:18,550
But Art said no.
892
00:44:19,092 --> 00:44:22,027
The comeback was Art's idea.
893
00:44:22,095 --> 00:44:26,555
He wanted to get out
from Barry's shadow and be an entrepreneur.
894
00:44:27,868 --> 00:44:29,733
We would do Barry's show,
895
00:44:29,803 --> 00:44:31,862
and then we'd do
our own specials,
896
00:44:31,938 --> 00:44:34,065
and Art would be in charge.
897
00:44:34,741 --> 00:44:38,541
Well, I said that
I wasn't going to risk
898
00:44:38,612 --> 00:44:42,981
Marge being driven over
the edge just so he could play king of the hill.
899
00:44:44,351 --> 00:44:46,148
Then he said,
900
00:44:46,219 --> 00:44:49,677
how would I like to have
Marge exposed as a killer.
901
00:44:55,228 --> 00:44:56,661
If I'd had a gun,
902
00:44:58,265 --> 00:45:00,062
I would have used it.
903
00:45:01,001 --> 00:45:06,940
But I didn't have a gun,
so I just grabbed the vase of flowers,
904
00:45:07,007 --> 00:45:08,133
and I...
905
00:45:10,777 --> 00:45:12,404
And killed the man
who would have made
906
00:45:12,479 --> 00:45:16,176
your sisters' lives
as miserably unhappy as your own.
907
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:29,820
Murder is murder,
but I feel sorry for those poor women.
908
00:45:29,896 --> 00:45:31,761
There's one thing I don't get.
909
00:45:31,832 --> 00:45:34,460
Now, you and Bulldog
forced Lee into confessing.
910
00:45:34,534 --> 00:45:38,493
But how did you know
Lee was the killer, and not Marge or Cathy?
911
00:45:38,572 --> 00:45:42,770
Well, the police photos
of the murder scene showed Art's body soaking wet,
912
00:45:42,843 --> 00:45:45,311
and covered with flowers
from the broken vase.
913
00:45:45,378 --> 00:45:47,744
It stood to reason
that the impact of the vase-shattering
914
00:45:47,814 --> 00:45:50,510
death blow would also have
splattered Art's killer,
915
00:45:50,584 --> 00:45:52,711
and I remembered that
I'd seen the three sisters
916
00:45:52,786 --> 00:45:55,152
only a few minutes later,after the police had arrived.
917
00:45:55,222 --> 00:45:57,656
Both Cathy and Marge werestill in their costumes,
918
00:45:57,724 --> 00:45:58,986
bone dry and unsplattered.
919
00:45:59,059 --> 00:46:03,155
But Lee wore a longterry cloth bathrobe,
920
00:46:03,230 --> 00:46:05,790
that could easily havecovered a wet costume
921
00:46:05,866 --> 00:46:07,766
that she didn'thave time to change.
922
00:46:07,834 --> 00:46:10,632
That's like the magician
making the elephant disappear.
923
00:46:10,704 --> 00:46:12,171
It's easy if you know how.
924
00:46:13,974 --> 00:46:15,703
Have you had any word
about your show?
925
00:46:15,776 --> 00:46:18,939
Oh, yes, that disappeared,
too. It was canceled.
926
00:46:19,012 --> 00:46:21,310
Oh, Barry. I'm so sorry.
927
00:46:21,782 --> 00:46:23,477
Hey, I look ahead.
928
00:46:23,550 --> 00:46:25,541
Some day television
will be history.
929
00:46:25,619 --> 00:46:28,782
There'll be something else
that hasn't even been invented yet.
930
00:46:28,855 --> 00:46:30,982
You won't have to
stare at a tube.
931
00:46:31,057 --> 00:46:33,821
The actors will be right there
in the room with you.
932
00:46:33,894 --> 00:46:35,589
Oh, heaven forbid!
933
00:46:35,662 --> 00:46:36,788
(LAUGHS)
934
00:46:36,838 --> 00:46:41,388
