[Charles-Haden Savage] Marshall, we need to talk with you.

I thought you wanted to give me more notes on the script.

Everyone's been hounding me about rewrites.

Every draft that Marshall turns in is worse than the last.

Loretta and I shall marry here in the Arconia.

[Charles, Mabel, Oliver] Sazz!

There's something I need to talk to you about when you get a sec, huh?

- It's a little sensitive. - So, you don't know

- who the target was? - [gunshot]

The person who did this would have to be extremely fit.

A gifted athlete in the best shape of their life.

Sazz talked about a stuntman

on a movie called Project Ronkonkoma.

He was her protégé, but he had messed up pretty badly,

and he was harassing her.

The only ones who know what went down

- are Sazz, Glen, and the director. - [muffled yelling]

He's dead, my Glen.

[newscaster] [on TV] Nicky Caccimelio has been reported missing.

We heard there was quite the snafu on Project Ronkonkoma.

[screams]

[bartender] The guy fucked up so bad, Sazz had to blackball him.

- Who was this protégé? - Here he is.

[Charles] That kinda looks like...

Why does this script say it was written by Sazz Pataki?

[text notification chimes]

[Sazz Pataki] A movie is a hundred people working together to tell one story.

Without breaking all my bones in the process.

But where to begin?

Well, I suppose it starts with finding your hero.

[Charles] Hey, Sazz, you okay?

- All good, buddy. - [Charles] Thank you.

Where is the young one? We need a pliable brain on this.

I texted Mabel the minute we figured it out,

How did you get that little accent mark on the E in protégé?

Oh, you press and hold down the letter you want the accent over,

then you get a list of accent choices.

- No kidding! [laughs] - It's fun, right?

Yeah, Mabel taught me that.

- [shuts off phone] - You know,

every time we solve a murder, that's when the next body drops.

It's like when one murder door closes,

someone we know either gets stabbed, poisoned, or shot.

Why would you say that?

You know my wedding is tomorrow.

Loretta's on her way now, here to the murder building.

I wasn't saying it'd be Loretta.

Well, you were basically saying that, Charles.

[sighs deeply]

Oh, my God.

My bride is gonna be the next murder victim.

And it's the only way we can save Mabel.

- Abso-- Wait, what? - Marshall said,

So, we walk along the ledge and smuggle her out.

This is actually really smart.

He'll never see us coming through the window.

I need to know why. Why kill Sazz?

Because she blackballed you as a stuntman?

Sazz wrote the Only Murders movie.

- Sazz, a writer? - You stole the script from her?

Look, I tried to become a writer. I did what you're supposed to do.

Took my childhood trauma and tried to monetize it

by turning it into a screenplay.

And I had good trauma.

Picture this.

A dad who's a hunter forces his son to be a hunter, too.

And the kid is a perfect marksman.

But all he wants to do is write.

And when he leaves for Hollywood,

the dad gives him six months. Says...

[in gruff voice] "You're a killer, not a writer."

[normal] I mean, come on, y-you'd watch that, right?

- Well, depends on the casting. - Would I have to go to the theater?

I still haven't found time

- to watch The Wire. - No.

I wanted to prove him wrong, but nobody would touch my script!

Which is not my fault! Hollywood is broken!

See, now here, I see his point.

Why else would I not have an EGOT?

- [chair drags] - Freeze!

I-I was about to call it quits when I met Sazz.

She was the first person to be kind to me.

Sazz was kind to everyone.

After the Ron Howard incident--

and by the way, he overreacted--

uh, Sazz said my stunting career was over, but...

now I could get back to my writing.

Sh-She even offered to read the latest draft of my screenplay.

[Sazz] Sure!

I think I nailed it this time.

- Oh, Rex. Man! - [chuckles]

You inspire me, the way your words make me feel things.

So much so that I gave it a whirl.

You wrote something?

You're the only one who knows.

And my only copy. [sighs]

And in the spirit of two writers being vulnerable...

[Marshall sighs]

...would you give it a read?

[Sazz laughs]

I didn't have high hopes. What did Sazz know about being a writer?

But then, I started into it.

And it was good.

Really fucking good.

Certainly better than anything I'd ever written.

Oh, you're done. [nervous laugh]

[sighs]

So?

[Marshall] That was the moment where I could have been a friend,

or I could have gone in a completely different direction.

It's...

not very good.

But everybody's gotta start somewhere, you know?

How could Sazz write something so great on her first try?

I-It wasn't fair!

I could make a copy and have a closer read and see if I can come up with some fixes.

Yes, please. That would be great.

I-It's just the...

It's all of it. How much of this are you married to?

So, I came up with a new name, which was actually the hardest part.

Eventually, I landed on Marshall P. Pope, wh-which is awesome.

- Is it, though? - Sounds like a judge.

After that, all I had to do was get the script into the right hands.

I sent it all around town. I knew someone would bite,

but I was just trying to get an agent.

Never in a million years did I think it would get greenlit.

A-And then fast-tracked?

But Sazz found out. She got shown the script

by some stunt friends who were looking for work on the movie.

I should have known something was up when she invited me over for a drink.

[knocking on door]

Come in.

[♪ tense, solemn music playing]

Or should I call you Marshall?

The list of suspects wasn't long,

but you were the only person I let see the script.

Sazz, this just got outta hand so quickly.

I wanted to tell you, but--

No, you didn't! You told me the script was bad,

and then you stole it from me!

You know me, I can take a hit.

Nearly lost a leg during Police Academy 7.

But this?

This is not ours!

[Sazz groans, sighs]

This is mine!

I hadn't even told Charles yet!

I wanted to ask his permission before I tried to sell it!

Do you see the mess you've made here?

I-I do, but...

this movie is, is my dream.

I had a dream, too!

I had the dream to sell my script

and-and-and build a trampoline park in New Jersey!

So, why should we start now?

♪ You feel that way too... ♪

[Oliver] Let's talk about it tonight.

[both laugh]

[♪ song fades out]

Did Oliver and Loretta go up already?

Yeah. She leaves first thing,

so I think they're...

taking care of their honeymoon business

while they can.

Let's just pretend they're upstairs playing show tunes on the piano.

Well, my date and I had a grand old time.

You brought the ashes?

Yeah, Sazz loved weddings,

but I'm gonna say goodbye to these.

Sprinkle 'em on the land that Sazz wanted for her trampoline park.

I think that's where she'd like to end up.

[elevator dings]

Mr. Savage? Ms. Mora.

I-I hope it's okay. I was upstairs looking for you.

There was no doorman on duty. I took a shot.

- I'm sorry, do we know you? - No.

I'll send it back down for you.

If I feel like it.

- [Charles sighs] - [elevator closes]

I wanna hire you to find my husband. It's urgent.

Oh, w-we're not a detective firm.

- [♪ curious music playing] - My husband is Nicky Caccimelio.

O-Or was, if you believe the news.

I pay very well.

We only investigate murders in the building.

It's right there in our name.

What happened to Nicky has everything to do with this building.

I'm sorry, but good luck.

I'm disappointed.

I-I thought maybe you could do

what the police have been unable to

and what I can't safely do by myself.

Sofia Caccimelio.

- [elevator dings] - Call if you change your mind.

That's quite a dame.

In the same way that Judi Dench is a dame.

Good save.

[ambient street noise]

[Loretta] You are gonna come, though, in a, in a few weeks?

[in Kiwi accent] You're not gonna leave me high and dry

in New Zealand, are ya?

[Oliver] You can't Kiwi me away.

- [both laugh] - [♪ gentle music playing]

♪

[Oliver] Sorry.

Where have you been?

[sighs]

[snorts]

[chuckles]

[Loretta laughs]

[sighs]

- [car engine starts] - I love you.

And as the last frames flicker on our season at the movies,

between newlyweds and a captured killer,

we somehow managed to find our way to a happy ending.

And got through a whole wedding day all without a body.

[♪ gentle music playing]

- [phone beeps] - We must be doing something right.

[Mabel chuckles]

- [Oliver] Mm. - Beautiful day.

Feel that breeze, huh?

- It's nice to take a moment and enjoy. - Yeah.

Wait.

Oh, my God!

- [♪ dramatic music playing] - [Oliver gasps]

Lester?

- Lester! - Call 911!

- [♪ eerie vocalizing] - Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Lester!

[line ringing]

- [Oliver whimpers] - [Mabel] No! No, no, no, no!

- [Charles] Oh, my God, no! Lester! - [Mabel whimpers]

[line continues ringing]

[operator] [on phone] Thank you for calling 911.

There are... 72 emergencies ahead of you.
