Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,376 --> 00:00:02,503
My aim’s so bad,
I might not be able to miss.
2
00:00:02,753 --> 00:00:04,255
[Jessica] Tonight on Murder, She Wrote.
3
00:00:04,588 --> 00:00:06,173
What do you want?
4
00:00:06,257 --> 00:00:08,008
Murder is a solution to a problem found
5
00:00:08,092 --> 00:00:10,845
only in cheap thrillers--
the kind you write.
6
00:00:11,887 --> 00:00:14,682
If I accept that check,
I’m condoning what’s happened here.
7
00:00:14,765 --> 00:00:17,351
-Pull!
[gunshots]
8
00:00:17,435 --> 00:00:20,146
The way I see it,
I’ve just come up with my killer.
9
00:00:22,481 --> 00:00:25,651
-How far you gonna go?
-Jump in and find out.
10
00:00:25,735 --> 00:00:28,612
I’m very much afraid that we’re about
to have another murder.
11
00:02:03,415 --> 00:02:04,708
What’s that for?
12
00:02:04,792 --> 00:02:07,628
The final payment,
as specified in your contract.
13
00:02:07,837 --> 00:02:09,922
[chuckles] You know I can’t take that.
14
00:02:10,965 --> 00:02:15,553
Look, Robert, you’ve done a marvelous job
organizing the material.
15
00:02:15,636 --> 00:02:18,013
The family’s very grateful to you
for everything you’ve done.
16
00:02:18,097 --> 00:02:23,435
Maria, if I accept that check,
I’m condoning what’s happened here.
17
00:02:23,519 --> 00:02:25,646
-I’m sorry.
-Look, this has been a friendly project.
18
00:02:25,729 --> 00:02:29,650
Don’t spoil it now, please.
I can understand your feelings.
19
00:02:29,733 --> 00:02:32,444
Then I guess you’ll understand
what I’m planning to do about it.
20
00:02:35,322 --> 00:02:36,657
Did you know about this?
21
00:02:37,491 --> 00:02:40,411
If it’s about business,
that’s a really dumb question.
22
00:02:43,122 --> 00:02:46,208
-Look, can we talk? Alone?
-I’m busy right now.
23
00:02:47,334 --> 00:02:50,296
-Well, later?
-I’ve got a lot of things to do today.
24
00:02:51,463 --> 00:02:55,759
Yeah, sure. Let me know.
25
00:02:56,844 --> 00:02:58,888
Do I sense that things have cooled down?
26
00:02:59,638 --> 00:03:02,808
Way down. He turned out
to be another boring writer.
27
00:03:02,892 --> 00:03:06,687
Talk to him. Find out what he wants.
Be nice to him.
28
00:03:07,438 --> 00:03:09,440
How nice would you suggest, mother?
29
00:03:09,523 --> 00:03:11,525
After all, there is
my husband to consider.
30
00:03:11,692 --> 00:03:13,652
Yes, well, that would be a first.
31
00:03:13,861 --> 00:03:17,239
Listen, Cat,
your own interests are at stake here,
32
00:03:17,323 --> 00:03:18,949
as well as your grandfather’s reputation.
33
00:03:19,033 --> 00:03:22,286
You surprise me.
Not even a mention of money.
34
00:03:25,414 --> 00:03:27,708
[woman on PA] Welcome
to Montana Springs airport.
35
00:03:27,791 --> 00:03:30,502
Also serving the communities
of Bow Mountain,
36
00:03:30,586 --> 00:03:32,755
Massacre Ridge, and Custer Creek.
37
00:03:32,838 --> 00:03:37,009
We hope you’ve enjoyed your flight
and will fly with us again real soon.
38
00:03:38,886 --> 00:03:42,056
[chattering]
39
00:03:42,139 --> 00:03:44,099
Smell that fresh air.
40
00:03:44,183 --> 00:03:48,771
I’m not sure my lungs are going to be able
to stand it for three whole days.
41
00:03:48,854 --> 00:03:52,441
-Do you have a match, Jessica?
-Uh, no, I’m sorry. I don’t.
42
00:03:52,524 --> 00:03:56,320
-Will you watch my bag for me, please?
-Oh, sure.
43
00:03:56,403 --> 00:03:59,114
[Robert] Hey, Jess.
-Bob!
44
00:03:59,323 --> 00:04:01,116
-Good to see you.
-Oh, me too.
45
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:02,701
I almost gave up on you.
46
00:04:02,785 --> 00:04:05,287
Well, we were an hour late
leaving Billings.
47
00:04:05,371 --> 00:04:06,664
I don’t know
if we’re gonna be able to make it
48
00:04:06,747 --> 00:04:08,248
to Custer Creek in time for that ceremony.
49
00:04:08,332 --> 00:04:11,126
Well, now, you know
that’s not the reason I came.
50
00:04:11,210 --> 00:04:14,254
What’s wrong, Bob?
You sounded so urgent on the phone.
51
00:04:14,338 --> 00:04:16,006
Where’s Dorothy Westerfield?
Wasn’t she with you?
52
00:04:16,215 --> 00:04:18,133
Oh, yes, yes.
She ducked inside to get a match
53
00:04:18,217 --> 00:04:19,760
to light her cigarette.
54
00:04:19,843 --> 00:04:22,471
-Did she say anything to you?
-About what?
55
00:04:22,554 --> 00:04:24,723
Uh, we’ll talk later.
56
00:04:24,807 --> 00:04:26,976
Not only is there
no smoking on their planes,
57
00:04:27,059 --> 00:04:28,686
there are no matches in their terminals.
58
00:04:28,769 --> 00:04:30,813
-Robert, my true love.
-Hi, Dorothy.
59
00:04:30,896 --> 00:04:34,858
Tell me that’s our ride into town.
I was half expecting a stagecoach.
60
00:04:34,942 --> 00:04:37,152
Well, a stagecoach might be
a lot more comfortable
61
00:04:37,236 --> 00:04:40,072
than my rented compact.
I wasn’t sure that you two had met.
62
00:04:40,155 --> 00:04:43,367
What, the publisher of Trevor Hudson’s
posthumous masterpiece
63
00:04:43,450 --> 00:04:45,744
not know the chairwoman
of the Trevor Hudson literary foundation?
64
00:04:45,828 --> 00:04:48,288
Impossible, darling.
Besides, I know everybody.
65
00:04:48,497 --> 00:04:50,416
She does.
66
00:04:50,499 --> 00:04:52,376
When was it we met? I think it was
the booksellers’ convention
67
00:04:52,459 --> 00:04:55,295
in Dallas three years ago.
I chased her around shamelessly.
68
00:04:55,379 --> 00:04:57,589
Tried to woo her away
from old what’s-his-name.
69
00:04:57,798 --> 00:05:00,926
Now, tell me, darling, are we going
to make it to this ceremony or not?
70
00:05:01,010 --> 00:05:03,887
-No, I’m afraid not.
-Oh, good. I hate outdoor speeches.
71
00:05:03,971 --> 00:05:05,222
The microphones never work.
72
00:05:05,431 --> 00:05:06,765
[chattering, laughter]
73
00:05:06,849 --> 00:05:08,600
[man on PA] Hello. One, two, three, four.
74
00:05:08,684 --> 00:05:10,144
-Can you hear me now?
[shouts of confirmation]
75
00:05:10,227 --> 00:05:12,104
Can you hear me?
76
00:05:12,187 --> 00:05:15,399
For those of you that don’t know me,
I’m Barney Drake,
77
00:05:15,482 --> 00:05:17,401
Trevor Hudson’s grandson-in-law.
78
00:05:17,609 --> 00:05:21,030
[applause]
79
00:05:23,282 --> 00:05:26,201
We are here today
to celebrate the great honor
80
00:05:26,285 --> 00:05:28,495
our government has bestowed
81
00:05:28,579 --> 00:05:33,167
upon an acknowledged
literary genius, Trevor Hudson.
82
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,464
Although this great man
has been dead less than a year,
83
00:05:39,423 --> 00:05:42,468
congressional legislation
has made it possible
84
00:05:42,676 --> 00:05:45,471
for a commemorative
United States postage stamp
85
00:05:45,554 --> 00:05:48,390
bearing his likeness to go on sale,
86
00:05:48,474 --> 00:05:51,727
starting today, all over
this great land of ours.
87
00:05:51,935 --> 00:05:54,021
[murmurs of approval]
88
00:05:56,356 --> 00:05:58,567
Andy? Andrew?
89
00:05:58,650 --> 00:06:00,569
[man] Get up there, Andy.
90
00:06:05,491 --> 00:06:08,619
The engraving for the stamp
91
00:06:08,702 --> 00:06:11,580
was taken
from this portrait of Trevor Hudson
92
00:06:11,663 --> 00:06:13,540
done by his son, Andrew.
93
00:06:13,624 --> 00:06:15,209
[applause]
-Andy.
94
00:06:17,002 --> 00:06:18,212
[murmurs of approval]
[Barney] That’s beautiful.
95
00:06:18,295 --> 00:06:20,923
Looks just like old grizzly, don’t it?
96
00:06:21,131 --> 00:06:25,469
-I wish he’d painted him in a necktie.
-Pop didn’t own a necktie.
97
00:06:26,095 --> 00:06:28,680
Uh, also present
are Trevor Hudson’s daughters,
98
00:06:28,764 --> 00:06:31,016
Maria and Olivia.
99
00:06:45,864 --> 00:06:49,868
Uh, my wife, Catherine Hudson,
better known to you moviegoers as Cat,
100
00:06:49,952 --> 00:06:51,745
uh, had hoped to be here, too.
101
00:06:51,829 --> 00:06:53,872
Unfortunately, she had
a previous engagement
102
00:06:53,956 --> 00:06:56,416
she just couldn’t break,
and she sends her regrets.
103
00:06:56,625 --> 00:06:58,502
[tires screeching]
104
00:07:03,924 --> 00:07:06,718
[jazzy pop on car stereo]
105
00:07:16,812 --> 00:07:20,190
-Need a ride?
-How far you gonna go?
106
00:07:20,274 --> 00:07:24,319
-Jump in and find out.
[revving engine]
107
00:07:29,575 --> 00:07:33,912
[revving engine]
108
00:07:33,996 --> 00:07:36,415
[tires screeching]
109
00:07:38,375 --> 00:07:42,171
Publicity-wise,
that stamp thing was a gift from God.
110
00:07:43,755 --> 00:07:47,134
Been busting my butt to get the media
to come out to the sticks.
111
00:07:47,718 --> 00:07:51,221
You swore that J.B. Fletcher
and Dot Westerfield would be there.
112
00:07:51,346 --> 00:07:55,726
Their plane was late. You know
these rinky-dink connector flights.
113
00:07:55,809 --> 00:07:59,396
Oh, yeah?
What flight was your daughter on?
114
00:07:59,479 --> 00:08:03,692
-She missed out on network coverage.
-Where the hell was she, Maria?
115
00:08:03,901 --> 00:08:08,697
The day you married Catherine, Barney,
keeping tabs on her capricious behavior
116
00:08:08,780 --> 00:08:11,742
ceased to be my responsibility
and became yours.
117
00:08:11,909 --> 00:08:14,870
Now, can we get on the subject
of Bob Jarrett?
118
00:08:15,913 --> 00:08:18,624
What about him? Cat said that was over.
119
00:08:19,458 --> 00:08:20,792
[sighs] We’re speaking
about different matters.
120
00:08:20,876 --> 00:08:24,046
I don’t care whom she sleeps with.
I do care that Jarrett has reneged.
121
00:08:24,796 --> 00:08:28,383
-He can’t.
-Reneged? What exactly does that mean?
122
00:08:28,592 --> 00:08:31,345
So you are paying attention, Andrew.
Excellent!
123
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,139
I wasn’t sure whether you were bored,
indifferent, or merely asleep.
124
00:08:34,223 --> 00:08:36,934
I have found, dear sister,
that whenever you decide
125
00:08:37,017 --> 00:08:40,896
to play admiral of the fleet,
it is best to keep one’s mouth shut,
126
00:08:41,104 --> 00:08:43,607
unless it becomes
absolutely necessary to open it.
127
00:08:43,690 --> 00:08:46,610
Now, what about Jarrett?
I thought we had a contract.
128
00:08:46,818 --> 00:08:50,322
We do. But Jarrett doesn’t seem
to care very much about that.
129
00:08:50,405 --> 00:08:53,242
In fact, he’s threatened to pull
this house down around our heads.
130
00:08:53,325 --> 00:08:55,953
-He may go public.
-Oh, great.
131
00:08:56,036 --> 00:08:59,122
I spend two months
setting up Time and Newsweek,
132
00:08:59,206 --> 00:09:01,583
maybe even for a cover.
133
00:09:01,667 --> 00:09:03,877
One word from Jarrett,
we’ll get a cover, all right.
134
00:09:04,086 --> 00:09:06,129
Now, wouldn’t that be something, Maria?
135
00:09:08,465 --> 00:09:12,261
The progeny of Trevor Hudson
having to find jobs,
136
00:09:12,344 --> 00:09:15,931
after all these years. Imagine.
137
00:09:19,476 --> 00:09:22,104
[knock on door]
-Come in.
138
00:09:23,563 --> 00:09:27,484
-Give you a thousand dollars for a match.
[sighs] I’m sorry.
139
00:09:27,567 --> 00:09:30,070
I would have called down for one,
but there’s no phone in my room.
140
00:09:30,153 --> 00:09:31,071
Can you imagine?
141
00:09:31,154 --> 00:09:33,991
Well, Trev Hudson
couldn’t stand telephones.
142
00:09:34,074 --> 00:09:37,786
Bob told me the only telephone
in the house is in the kitchen,
143
00:09:37,869 --> 00:09:41,206
and that was installed
after Trev got sick.
144
00:09:42,916 --> 00:09:46,461
[yawning] Oh, though I hate wilderness.
Pardon me. I just took a nap.
145
00:09:46,545 --> 00:09:49,464
I haven’t even started to unpack.
146
00:09:49,548 --> 00:09:51,383
So, tell me, Jessica,
147
00:09:52,175 --> 00:09:54,761
how long have you known
dear, sweet Robert?
148
00:09:55,178 --> 00:09:58,724
Well, he was this brilliant young editor
that I met through my publisher.
149
00:09:58,932 --> 00:10:01,351
Which is why you suggested him
for the editing job
150
00:10:01,435 --> 00:10:04,938
of Trev Hud’s final opus.
Makes sense to me.
151
00:10:05,355 --> 00:10:09,151
You know, you are the first chairwoman
of the Trevor Hudson literary foundation
152
00:10:09,234 --> 00:10:11,403
that’s actually done anything
to merit the title.
153
00:10:11,486 --> 00:10:15,407
Well, they needed an editor,
so I stuck in my two cents.
154
00:10:15,991 --> 00:10:18,327
I, for one, am glad you did.
He’s done a marvelous job.
155
00:10:18,535 --> 00:10:20,454
-Oh, have you read it?
-Galley proofs.
156
00:10:20,871 --> 00:10:22,164
I brought a set with me.
I can lend them to you.
157
00:10:22,372 --> 00:10:24,124
You’re gonna love it.
158
00:10:24,207 --> 00:10:26,168
It’s so touching and sensitive.
159
00:10:26,376 --> 00:10:31,256
Really? That doesn’t sound
like the Trevor Hudson that I knew.
160
00:10:31,465 --> 00:10:33,091
One critic said about his books,
161
00:10:33,175 --> 00:10:35,635
"They have the cutting edge of a diamond
with none of the warmth."
162
00:10:35,844 --> 00:10:39,097
[chuckling] Well, it is the first book
he ever wrote while he was dying.
163
00:10:40,766 --> 00:10:42,726
Seems like a good time to give up smoking.
164
00:10:42,934 --> 00:10:45,729
You know, that’s a marvelous idea.
Why don’t you do it?
165
00:10:45,937 --> 00:10:47,981
Just because I can’t find a match?
166
00:10:48,065 --> 00:10:51,485
That is the coward’s way out.
I’m going to search this house.
167
00:10:51,693 --> 00:10:53,820
[both chuckle]
168
00:10:56,823 --> 00:10:58,617
[Livvy] Pull.
169
00:10:58,700 --> 00:11:01,411
[gunshots]
170
00:11:04,081 --> 00:11:06,041
Damn fine shootin’, Livvy.
171
00:11:06,124 --> 00:11:08,668
Old grizzly hisself
couldn’t have done any better.
172
00:11:08,752 --> 00:11:12,297
That’s not the truth, Hank,
and you know it. But thanks.
173
00:11:12,381 --> 00:11:14,925
[Jessica] Livvy!
[chuckling]
174
00:11:15,008 --> 00:11:17,386
Jessica!
When did you get here? How are you?
175
00:11:17,469 --> 00:11:20,430
A few minutes before the rest of you
got back from the post office.
176
00:11:20,514 --> 00:11:22,599
I came back in another car.
Oh, meet Hank Masters.
177
00:11:22,682 --> 00:11:24,476
-Hank, this is Jessica Fletcher.
-Pleasure.
178
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,978
When pop wrote his book about Maine,
he rented a house near Jessica’s.
179
00:11:27,187 --> 00:11:28,980
Yeah, and spent six weeks draining me
180
00:11:29,064 --> 00:11:31,858
of every down east anecdote
I’d ever heard.
181
00:11:32,067 --> 00:11:36,655
You then would have been Harriet Shaw,
the schoolmarm in green forest trilogy.
182
00:11:36,738 --> 00:11:38,281
Oh, you’re onto me.
183
00:11:38,365 --> 00:11:41,660
And I believe you popped up
quite a few times in Trev’s writings.
184
00:11:41,868 --> 00:11:44,079
Yeah, well, him and me
were real close, ma’am.
185
00:11:44,162 --> 00:11:47,207
Like brothers, I guess.
We understood each other real well.
186
00:11:47,290 --> 00:11:50,919
-Would you like to have a go at this?
-Oh, no. No, thank you.
187
00:11:51,002 --> 00:11:53,130
Guns and I have always
been total strangers,
188
00:11:53,213 --> 00:11:55,048
and I’d like to keep it that way.
189
00:11:55,132 --> 00:11:56,716
I don’t suppose
you’ve seen Bob Jarrett around?
190
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,010
Ask Maria.
She usually knows where everybody is.
191
00:11:59,094 --> 00:12:00,846
She should have been a house detective.
192
00:12:00,929 --> 00:12:03,390
-Well, the trick is to find Maria.
-Oh, try Andrew’s studio.
193
00:12:03,473 --> 00:12:06,726
She said that she’d pick out the paintings
for his New York gallery show.
194
00:12:06,810 --> 00:12:09,604
-Oh, that was nice.
-Think so? Andrew’s a big boy.
195
00:12:09,688 --> 00:12:11,690
He’s old enough to pick out
his own paintings.
196
00:12:11,773 --> 00:12:14,943
-Livvy, we’re gonna lose that sun.
-Maybe we can get together before dinner,
197
00:12:15,026 --> 00:12:17,404
-have us a chat.
-I’d love to. See you.
198
00:12:18,572 --> 00:12:21,158
Now, you get on that thing.
I’ll show you some shootin’.
199
00:12:21,366 --> 00:12:26,830
[Hank] Pull!
[gunshots]
200
00:12:26,913 --> 00:12:30,542
Jessica, in here, quickly.
201
00:12:31,793 --> 00:12:36,506
[Hank] Pull!
[gunshots]
202
00:12:41,845 --> 00:12:45,515
Oh, this has to be Trevor Hudson’s study.
203
00:12:45,599 --> 00:12:48,643
And mine until I finish
correcting the galleys.
204
00:12:48,727 --> 00:12:52,772
Why have you been so mysterious?
I’ve been looking for you.
205
00:12:52,856 --> 00:12:55,442
I needed to make sure
that Maria was out of the house first.
206
00:12:55,525 --> 00:12:57,360
-Have you read the book yet?
-No. No.
207
00:12:57,444 --> 00:13:00,322
Dorothy said she’d let me
have the galleys.
208
00:13:00,405 --> 00:13:04,659
It’s good. I mean, it is really good.
209
00:13:04,743 --> 00:13:08,413
The central character’s a writer
who’s out of touch with his family.
210
00:13:08,497 --> 00:13:12,375
But he’s dying, so he actually begins
to care about the people who love him,
211
00:13:12,459 --> 00:13:14,961
until he’s no longer
unconnected and remote.
212
00:13:15,045 --> 00:13:20,091
-Well, that sounds like Trevor Hudson.
-I want you to see something.
213
00:13:23,261 --> 00:13:28,600
The 400-page Trevor Hudson manuscript
that I was paid to edit and pull together
214
00:13:30,602 --> 00:13:35,273
actually consisted
of these ten pages of notes.
215
00:13:40,111 --> 00:13:43,073
Uh, but this can’t be all there was.
216
00:13:43,156 --> 00:13:44,824
And...
217
00:13:46,826 --> 00:13:50,372
these disjointed ramblings
in Maria’s handwriting.
218
00:13:50,455 --> 00:13:52,958
Half-coherent reminiscences that, uh,
219
00:13:53,041 --> 00:13:57,003
supposedly were dictated
to her when he was dying.
220
00:13:57,087 --> 00:14:00,757
I mean, dry, meaningless scribbling
about a dog he had
221
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:06,638
and a hunting trip
with Hank Masters and Livvy.
222
00:14:10,517 --> 00:14:12,435
That’s what I had to work with.
223
00:14:14,354 --> 00:14:15,772
That’s it.
224
00:14:17,732 --> 00:14:20,068
Don’t you understand, Jessica?
225
00:14:20,151 --> 00:14:24,155
The best thing that
Trevor Hudson never wrote
226
00:14:24,239 --> 00:14:26,116
is the best thing that I ever wrote.
227
00:14:29,119 --> 00:14:34,374
And now I need to decide whether
I should expose it as a literary fraud.
228
00:14:41,339 --> 00:14:42,257
[horses whinnying]
229
00:14:42,340 --> 00:14:44,217
[sighs]
230
00:14:44,593 --> 00:14:48,513
I don’t understand why
you didn’t tell me about this earlier.
231
00:14:48,597 --> 00:14:52,058
Because I didn’t know where you fit in.
232
00:14:52,142 --> 00:14:56,771
Me? Well, you can’t think
that I would be party to--
233
00:14:58,023 --> 00:15:00,650
I know I misunderstood,
234
00:15:00,734 --> 00:15:05,989
but I assumed that since you’d become
worldly and, and successful--
235
00:15:06,072 --> 00:15:08,658
I can’t, I can’t believe
what you’re telling me.
236
00:15:08,742 --> 00:15:12,287
Jessica, look, you were
the chairperson at the foundation.
237
00:15:12,370 --> 00:15:14,289
You recommended me for the job.
238
00:15:14,372 --> 00:15:18,752
All of a sudden I find this,
and Maria’s making all sorts of demands.
239
00:15:18,835 --> 00:15:21,379
I mean, how was I supposed
to know who was involved?
240
00:15:24,924 --> 00:15:27,886
Oh, I’m sorry.
241
00:15:27,969 --> 00:15:30,055
I’ve been so...
242
00:15:30,138 --> 00:15:34,100
so confused and then--
243
00:15:34,184 --> 00:15:36,144
Look, I finally did call you, didn’t I?
244
00:15:36,227 --> 00:15:39,397
Yes, you did,
and a darned good thing, too.
245
00:15:39,481 --> 00:15:44,235
But what I still can’t understand
is why you didn’t just walk away.
246
00:15:44,319 --> 00:15:47,572
I keep asking myself the same thing.
247
00:15:47,656 --> 00:15:52,202
I guess I just kind of got seduced
by the Trevor Hudson legend--
248
00:15:52,285 --> 00:15:54,287
wanted to be seduced by it.
249
00:15:54,371 --> 00:15:58,583
I wanted a story to be in these few pages.
250
00:15:58,667 --> 00:16:01,544
And, of course, there was always Cat.
251
00:16:01,628 --> 00:16:04,714
Oh, now, you’re not going to tell me
that Cat helped you to write the book.
252
00:16:04,798 --> 00:16:08,718
In her own way, yeah.
253
00:16:08,802 --> 00:16:11,429
I mean, her husband, Barney,
was always off at the West Coast
254
00:16:11,513 --> 00:16:15,392
trying to build up her career.
He’s a star maker with one star.
255
00:16:15,475 --> 00:16:18,478
And she stayed home here with you.
256
00:16:21,856 --> 00:16:24,442
It doesn’t sound to me
as if she’s out of your system.
257
00:16:24,526 --> 00:16:27,237
[chuckles]
258
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,280
I don’t think she ever will be.
259
00:16:55,473 --> 00:16:58,268
[water running]
260
00:17:00,103 --> 00:17:02,063
Cat?
261
00:17:07,777 --> 00:17:10,530
-What do you want?
-You weren’t at the post office.
262
00:17:11,865 --> 00:17:13,366
I forgot.
263
00:17:13,450 --> 00:17:15,785
Where were you all day?
264
00:17:15,869 --> 00:17:18,121
All sorts of places.
265
00:17:18,204 --> 00:17:20,498
Alone?
266
00:17:20,582 --> 00:17:23,042
I had company, all right?
267
00:17:23,126 --> 00:17:25,670
-Jarrett?
-Why not Jarrett?
268
00:17:25,754 --> 00:17:28,214
He was a career move, you said.
Be nice to him, you said.
269
00:17:28,298 --> 00:17:32,343
No, it wouldn’t have been Jarrett.
Jarrett had to go to the airport
270
00:17:32,427 --> 00:17:37,056
to pick up Dorothy Westerfield
and Jessica Fletcher.
271
00:17:37,140 --> 00:17:39,893
-Who did you pick up?
-Uh, I don’t know.
272
00:17:39,976 --> 00:17:42,187
I’ve never been good at names.
273
00:17:44,606 --> 00:17:46,649
-Oh, geez. I’m sorry.
-Get out. Get out!
274
00:17:46,733 --> 00:17:49,194
It wasn’t that hard. I’m sorry.
It won’t leave a mark.
275
00:17:49,277 --> 00:17:50,945
Stupid little man! Get away from me!
276
00:17:51,029 --> 00:17:52,363
No, look. Listen to me.
277
00:17:52,447 --> 00:17:54,699
-I got you a deal.
-I don’t care about a deal!
278
00:17:55,033 --> 00:17:57,118
A movie deal!
A really first-class project.
279
00:17:57,202 --> 00:17:59,037
This is not one of those cheapie quickies.
280
00:17:59,120 --> 00:18:01,372
Name above the title.
Maybe even director approval.
281
00:18:01,456 --> 00:18:02,582
Is that somethin’ or what, huh?
282
00:18:02,665 --> 00:18:05,293
I gotta fly up to Cheyenne
and meet with Mel Styles.
283
00:18:05,376 --> 00:18:07,170
He’s on location there.
284
00:18:07,253 --> 00:18:09,088
I’ll come back in the morning.
285
00:18:12,592 --> 00:18:14,385
Take your time, all right?
286
00:18:18,556 --> 00:18:20,558
I should be outta here already.
287
00:18:21,643 --> 00:18:23,853
Just my luck, rubber band airways
288
00:18:23,937 --> 00:18:27,106
will be on schedule
for the first time in its history.
289
00:18:29,526 --> 00:18:32,111
Better not be lyin’ to me, Barney.
290
00:18:32,904 --> 00:18:34,823
Why would I lie to you, babe?
291
00:18:35,949 --> 00:18:38,117
-Oh, to get even maybe.
-For what?
292
00:18:38,201 --> 00:18:40,829
I forgot it already. I swear to God.
293
00:18:40,912 --> 00:18:44,499
I just want to do
something nice for you, kitty Cat.
294
00:18:46,543 --> 00:18:51,589
You’re beautiful, you know that?
295
00:18:51,673 --> 00:18:54,175
You should have the best.
296
00:18:54,551 --> 00:18:58,346
I want you to get what you deserve.
297
00:19:05,061 --> 00:19:07,230
[Jessica] Are you sure you want to go
public with this?
298
00:19:07,313 --> 00:19:09,232
What other choice do I have?
299
00:19:09,315 --> 00:19:11,734
Well, I hope you know
what you’re letting yourself in for.
300
00:19:11,818 --> 00:19:15,572
I mean, not everyone will believe you.
The press can be vicious.
301
00:19:15,655 --> 00:19:17,866
They’ll accuse you of trying
to further your own career
302
00:19:17,949 --> 00:19:20,994
at the expense of a literary giant
who can’t fight back.
303
00:19:21,077 --> 00:19:23,705
-Yeah, but that’s not true.
-I know it’s not true.
304
00:19:23,788 --> 00:19:26,124
But when it comes to selling newspapers,
305
00:19:26,207 --> 00:19:29,002
-the truth is not always an issue.
[horn honking]
306
00:19:35,425 --> 00:19:37,135
Hello, you two.
307
00:19:39,095 --> 00:19:42,223
I hate to break up a reunion,
but, um, I need to ask
308
00:19:42,307 --> 00:19:44,559
a few questions about the galleys, Robert.
Do you suppose--
309
00:19:44,684 --> 00:19:50,648
Uh, Maria, I showed Jessica the office,
the notes and the files.
310
00:19:51,024 --> 00:19:53,109
For heaven sakes, you’re not
gonna start that again, are you?
311
00:19:53,443 --> 00:19:56,738
Jessica, I hope
you don’t believe any of this.
312
00:19:57,071 --> 00:20:00,241
I have too much respect
for my father’s memory - we all do -
313
00:20:00,325 --> 00:20:02,368
to allow some fraud to be perpetrated.
314
00:20:02,452 --> 00:20:07,373
Oh, yes. Yes, I’m sure. But, well, uh--
315
00:20:07,457 --> 00:20:11,127
Oh, my goodness, Maria.
Bob had so little to go on.
316
00:20:11,210 --> 00:20:13,796
I mean, just enough
for an essay or a short story.
317
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,133
You too, Jessica?
Those were only the written notes.
318
00:20:17,550 --> 00:20:19,636
There were others I committed to memory,
319
00:20:19,928 --> 00:20:21,471
the wealth of things my father told me
320
00:20:21,554 --> 00:20:23,181
when he couldn’t write any longer.
321
00:20:23,389 --> 00:20:26,351
You remember how he could talk.
He was a spellbinder.
322
00:20:26,434 --> 00:20:28,519
Oh, yes, I do remember.
323
00:20:28,895 --> 00:20:33,274
But I don’t understand why you didn’t tape
everything that he said.
324
00:20:33,358 --> 00:20:35,818
Oh, my father never used a tape recorder.
325
00:20:35,902 --> 00:20:37,320
I don’t think there was one in the house.
326
00:20:37,403 --> 00:20:38,655
No?
327
00:20:43,910 --> 00:20:47,121
-No, that’s not his.
[clicks]
328
00:20:47,205 --> 00:20:49,374
[Hudson] ...couldn’t quite make out
what it was.
329
00:20:50,083 --> 00:20:52,293
[sighs] Maybe a bear.
330
00:20:52,377 --> 00:20:57,423
Could have been a bear.
The place smelled bad.
331
00:20:58,216 --> 00:21:01,552
-Reminded me of this place in Nigeria.
[clicks off]
332
00:21:03,179 --> 00:21:05,223
You recognize his voice,
don’t you, Jessica?
333
00:21:05,306 --> 00:21:08,893
-Yes.
-I didn’t know.
334
00:21:08,977 --> 00:21:11,104
I couldn’t leave
his side and go searching.
335
00:21:11,187 --> 00:21:12,981
He was dying, and he had so much to say.
336
00:21:13,064 --> 00:21:15,692
You see where
she’s coming from, don’t you?
337
00:21:15,775 --> 00:21:20,488
She can smell a best seller, but only if
Trevor Hudson’s name is on the title page.
338
00:21:20,571 --> 00:21:22,281
That is a despicable lie.
339
00:21:22,365 --> 00:21:25,410
You’re trying to steal my father’s book
and call it your own.
340
00:21:25,493 --> 00:21:27,203
Well, you’re not gonna get away with it,
my young friend.
341
00:21:27,286 --> 00:21:29,789
Not while I have anything to say about it.
342
00:21:34,794 --> 00:21:36,879
[Robert] This could get rather nasty.
343
00:21:36,963 --> 00:21:39,007
Well, don’t say I didn’t warn you.
344
00:21:41,426 --> 00:21:42,927
[Dorothy] Andrew,
I’ve been meaning to compliment you
345
00:21:43,011 --> 00:21:44,303
on this remarkable portrait.
346
00:21:44,387 --> 00:21:48,683
You’ve captured that look
I remember, oh, so well.
347
00:21:48,766 --> 00:21:50,560
Yes, manly adventurer.
348
00:21:50,643 --> 00:21:54,188
Killer of deer and elephants
and other unarmed beasts.
349
00:21:54,272 --> 00:21:57,150
That macho business was a facade.
350
00:21:57,233 --> 00:21:59,819
Under the show of strength
was the uncertainty
351
00:21:59,902 --> 00:22:02,822
of a man who had designed his own image
and wasn’t sure he could live up to it.
352
00:22:02,905 --> 00:22:04,949
Andrew, that’s absolute twaddle.
353
00:22:05,033 --> 00:22:07,493
There was nothing phony
about Trevor Hudson.
354
00:22:07,577 --> 00:22:09,829
I didn’t say he was phony. Thank you.
355
00:22:09,912 --> 00:22:13,082
Speaking of phonies, is anyone but me
356
00:22:13,166 --> 00:22:17,545
not surprised that Mr. Robert Jarrett
did not join us for supper this evening?
357
00:22:17,628 --> 00:22:19,088
Maria’s been filling me in.
358
00:22:19,172 --> 00:22:24,260
Dorothy, I wouldn’t jump to conclusions
until I’d heard every side of this.
359
00:22:24,343 --> 00:22:27,555
Oh, come on.
That ambitious, egotistical proofreader.
360
00:22:27,638 --> 00:22:31,142
I mean, how dare he say
that the greatest author of our century
361
00:22:31,225 --> 00:22:33,436
did not write his own masterpiece?
362
00:22:33,519 --> 00:22:36,022
Spoken like an unbiased publisher.
363
00:22:36,105 --> 00:22:39,650
Why don’t you save your caustic wit
for a more appropriate occasion, Andrew?
364
00:22:39,734 --> 00:22:41,527
And what would that be, sister?
365
00:22:41,611 --> 00:22:43,279
The second coming of Trevor Hudson?
366
00:22:43,362 --> 00:22:45,198
I thought that was the subject
under discussion.
367
00:22:45,281 --> 00:22:47,241
Well, now, folks,
since we’re gathered here
368
00:22:47,325 --> 00:22:49,160
in front of Andy’s great picture
of his pa,
369
00:22:49,243 --> 00:22:51,329
why don’t we all drink to old grizzly?
370
00:22:51,412 --> 00:22:54,791
Don’t be shocked, Mrs. Fletcher.
That was my nickname for him.
371
00:22:54,874 --> 00:22:56,834
-His nickname for me was--
-Hank.
372
00:22:56,918 --> 00:22:58,961
Not fit for mixed company.
[chuckles]
373
00:22:59,045 --> 00:23:00,588
[Livvy] I’d go easy
on that stuff if I were you.
374
00:23:00,671 --> 00:23:03,674
Just because it’s expensive doesn’t mean
it’s not gonna knock you on your keister.
375
00:23:03,758 --> 00:23:06,010
Well, that sounds like somethin’ he’d say.
376
00:23:06,844 --> 00:23:09,430
Here’s mud in your eye, you old polecat.
377
00:23:09,514 --> 00:23:11,516
Oh, cut the crap, everybody!
378
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,602
Can’t you all hear yourselves?
379
00:23:14,685 --> 00:23:16,604
Just a whole lot of talk
nobody wants to hear,
380
00:23:16,687 --> 00:23:18,189
because we’re all waiting around
to find out
381
00:23:18,272 --> 00:23:20,942
if Bobby Jarrett
is gonna screw up our lives.
382
00:23:21,025 --> 00:23:22,652
And I guess the big question is,
383
00:23:22,735 --> 00:23:24,695
if he tries,
what are we gonna do about it?
384
00:23:39,127 --> 00:23:41,337
[wind whistling]
385
00:24:42,023 --> 00:24:44,233
[glass shattering]
386
00:24:59,957 --> 00:25:01,000
Bob?
387
00:25:30,196 --> 00:25:31,614
[gasps]
388
00:25:48,464 --> 00:25:51,425
[police radio chatter]
389
00:25:55,596 --> 00:25:59,475
My, you can see where he was hit, hard.
390
00:26:00,476 --> 00:26:02,311
He couldn’t have survived that blow.
391
00:26:02,979 --> 00:26:04,730
Nobody touched anything, Mrs. Fletcher?
392
00:26:04,814 --> 00:26:07,400
No. Everything is as it was
when I found him.
393
00:26:07,483 --> 00:26:09,986
-And what time was that?
-Oh, it was a little after midnight.
394
00:26:10,069 --> 00:26:12,613
-Doc?
-Well, by the look of him,
395
00:26:12,697 --> 00:26:14,407
couldn’t have been dead more than an hour.
396
00:26:14,991 --> 00:26:16,993
Anybody hear or see anything?
397
00:26:17,076 --> 00:26:18,953
I didn’t. I went to bed early.
398
00:26:19,412 --> 00:26:22,331
Well, I spoke to Robert at about 9:30.
399
00:26:22,415 --> 00:26:24,458
He was gonna wait
for everybody to go to bed,
400
00:26:24,542 --> 00:26:26,460
and then spend the rest of the night
working on the galley proofs.
401
00:26:26,544 --> 00:26:29,130
I heard something down by the stable.
402
00:26:29,213 --> 00:26:32,133
I thought it must have been
coyote after the chickens.
403
00:26:32,216 --> 00:26:33,634
Was it?
404
00:26:33,718 --> 00:26:35,594
I searched the grounds.
I didn’t see anything.
405
00:26:35,678 --> 00:26:36,721
Chickens didn’t raise a fuss.
406
00:26:36,804 --> 00:26:42,268
Forgive my curiosity, Livvy, but, uh,
what were you doing outside in the dark?
407
00:26:43,394 --> 00:26:45,813
Looking after a sick filly in the stable.
408
00:26:45,896 --> 00:26:49,191
Well, it seems pretty clear to me
that Jarrett surprised somebody
409
00:26:49,275 --> 00:26:52,194
who was set to rob this place
and got bashed for his trouble.
410
00:26:52,278 --> 00:26:53,821
That’s probably what you heard, Livvy.
411
00:26:53,904 --> 00:26:56,240
[Livvy] Maybe.
412
00:26:56,324 --> 00:26:58,492
You can see where the killer broke in.
413
00:26:58,576 --> 00:27:00,244
Smashed this pane to open the latch.
414
00:27:00,328 --> 00:27:02,496
[Jessica:] That must have been
the sound that I heard.
415
00:27:02,580 --> 00:27:07,585
Yeah. Grabbed the first thing
that caught his eye and took off fast.
416
00:27:07,668 --> 00:27:10,463
Excuse me.
417
00:27:10,546 --> 00:27:12,631
You’ll probably find something missing,
418
00:27:12,715 --> 00:27:17,636
aside from that fancy French gold award
that was on the desk
419
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,806
and one of the rifles from that rack.
420
00:27:20,890 --> 00:27:22,683
Yes, I’m afraid you’re right, Sheriff.
421
00:27:22,767 --> 00:27:28,272
The killer also took the file folder
with Trevor Hudson’s notes for the book.
422
00:27:29,065 --> 00:27:30,858
Well, now, why’d he do that?
423
00:27:33,110 --> 00:27:35,613
Sheriff, could I talk to you alone?
424
00:27:37,573 --> 00:27:40,951
Uh, folks, uh, I’m gonna need
statements from all of you.
425
00:27:41,035 --> 00:27:43,454
So why don’t y’all just go on
into the living room
426
00:27:43,537 --> 00:27:45,748
and make up some coffee or whatever?
427
00:27:45,831 --> 00:27:47,792
Uh, I’ll be with you directly.
428
00:28:00,137 --> 00:28:04,975
Sheriff, I think we both know
that this was not the work of a burglar.
429
00:28:07,478 --> 00:28:09,522
-Ma’am?
-Everyone here tonight knew
430
00:28:09,605 --> 00:28:13,692
that Rob Jarrett was going to make
a public statement about writing the book.
431
00:28:13,776 --> 00:28:17,905
I’m sure he was killed to stop him.
432
00:28:17,988 --> 00:28:19,782
Have you got anything to back that up?
433
00:28:19,865 --> 00:28:22,201
Well, the missing notes, for one thing.
434
00:28:22,284 --> 00:28:26,288
I mean, they couldn’t possibly be
of any interest to an ordinary burglar.
435
00:28:26,372 --> 00:28:28,958
But they might have helped
prove Bob’s case.
436
00:28:29,041 --> 00:28:33,796
Well, I don’t much hold with guesswork.
437
00:28:33,879 --> 00:28:36,549
Now, Maria let me read
what they call the galley proofs.
438
00:28:36,632 --> 00:28:39,760
And I’m here to tell you that old grizzly
wrote every blessed word.
439
00:28:39,844 --> 00:28:42,388
And I oughta know.
Part of it was about me.
440
00:28:42,471 --> 00:28:45,057
Yes, I know.
I mean, some of the missing notes
441
00:28:45,141 --> 00:28:46,809
were about one of your hunting trips.
442
00:28:46,892 --> 00:28:48,644
But there just weren’t
enough to make a book,
443
00:28:48,727 --> 00:28:53,065
let alone one as sweeping and detailed
as The Valley Beyond.
444
00:28:53,149 --> 00:28:55,693
Writin’ ain’t my business,
but wouldn’t Bob Jarrett
445
00:28:55,776 --> 00:28:57,236
have had to work
from some kind of outline?
446
00:28:57,319 --> 00:29:00,531
-Did he show you that?
-No. No, he didn’t.
447
00:29:00,614 --> 00:29:03,951
And if there was one, it was stolen, too,
for the same reason.
448
00:29:04,034 --> 00:29:07,163
You ain’t gonna give up on it, are you?
449
00:29:07,246 --> 00:29:10,624
Well, look, you do what you will.
I’ve got a killer to catch.
450
00:29:10,708 --> 00:29:12,042
A stranger stands out
in this part of the country.
451
00:29:12,126 --> 00:29:13,502
We’ll find him.
452
00:29:13,586 --> 00:29:16,672
Me and my boys move quick,
and we can cover a lot of territory.
453
00:29:23,512 --> 00:29:26,599
[sighs]
[door closes]
454
00:29:32,396 --> 00:29:35,441
I’m really sorry, Jessica.
I liked Bob Jarrett a lot,
455
00:29:35,524 --> 00:29:38,777
and I don’t like most people.
456
00:29:38,861 --> 00:29:40,613
I got that from my dad.
He didn’t like me very much.
457
00:29:40,696 --> 00:29:44,283
Oh, Andy, you’re exaggerating.
458
00:29:44,366 --> 00:29:47,286
It’s true. I was more interested
in pastels than pistols.
459
00:29:47,369 --> 00:29:48,662
[chuckles]
460
00:29:48,746 --> 00:29:53,459
I’m surprised that Livvy didn’t spend
more time with him before he died.
461
00:29:53,542 --> 00:29:55,669
Well, Livvy had the ranch to run.
462
00:29:55,753 --> 00:29:59,006
Well, that must be why Maria
as with him so much.
463
00:29:59,089 --> 00:30:01,175
Maria hardly ever stayed with him.
464
00:30:01,258 --> 00:30:04,345
She was supervising the book
and trying to hold the estate together.
465
00:30:04,428 --> 00:30:06,388
Oh, they both spelled me
from time to time--
466
00:30:06,472 --> 00:30:07,890
Cat, too, when she was around--
467
00:30:07,973 --> 00:30:11,727
but mostly, it was just dad and me.
468
00:30:11,810 --> 00:30:16,190
We sort of came to an understanding
before the end.
469
00:30:16,273 --> 00:30:20,694
And did--did he ever talk about
the book that he was writing?
470
00:30:20,778 --> 00:30:22,738
He didn’t talk much at all.
471
00:30:22,821 --> 00:30:26,700
He just lay there and held my hand,
afraid to let go of life.
472
00:30:26,784 --> 00:30:32,248
He was scared of his own mortality
and weakened by his illness.
473
00:30:32,331 --> 00:30:36,335
Look.
474
00:30:36,418 --> 00:30:41,298
Bob’s death has made me
face up to something.
475
00:30:41,382 --> 00:30:44,385
The fact is, in his state,
476
00:30:44,468 --> 00:30:48,013
my father couldn’t have
written his own name.
477
00:30:48,097 --> 00:30:51,225
I’m glad I don’t have to testify to that.
478
00:30:51,308 --> 00:30:53,102
I’d hate to have to make
a liar out of Maria.
479
00:30:53,185 --> 00:30:54,979
[vehicle approaching]
480
00:31:05,447 --> 00:31:08,284
I saw one of Hank Master’s deputies
at the airport.
481
00:31:08,367 --> 00:31:09,201
He told me what happened.
I couldn’t believe it.
482
00:31:09,285 --> 00:31:10,411
It’s true, Barney.
483
00:31:10,494 --> 00:31:13,747
Bob Jarrett was murdered in dad’s office.
484
00:31:13,831 --> 00:31:16,542
Mrs. Fletcher, I know
how close you were. I’m sorry.
485
00:31:16,625 --> 00:31:18,460
Thank you, Barney.
486
00:31:18,544 --> 00:31:20,004
Barney, I’m so glad you’re back.
487
00:31:20,087 --> 00:31:21,672
You okay?
488
00:31:21,755 --> 00:31:23,465
Yeah. I get so scared
every time I think about
489
00:31:23,549 --> 00:31:24,800
being alone in that cabin last night
when there was a killer
490
00:31:24,883 --> 00:31:26,343
breaking in the lodge.
491
00:31:26,427 --> 00:31:27,803
[Barney] I know, I know.
I should have been here.
492
00:31:27,886 --> 00:31:30,097
But everything’s okay now. Barney’s here.
493
00:31:30,180 --> 00:31:32,099
Excuse us.
494
00:32:04,089 --> 00:32:06,884
-Jessica.
-Oh, Maria. Good morning.
495
00:32:06,967 --> 00:32:09,928
I don’t know about you,
but I couldn’t sleep a wink last night.
496
00:32:10,012 --> 00:32:14,600
-Poor Robert. What a dreadful thing.
-Yes.
497
00:32:14,683 --> 00:32:17,728
Well, I’m sure Hank
will find the man who did it.
498
00:32:17,811 --> 00:32:18,979
Oh, was it a man?
499
00:32:19,647 --> 00:32:23,067
Well, thief, intruder, whatever.
500
00:32:24,026 --> 00:32:26,987
Look, Jessica, Robert’s death was tragic.
501
00:32:27,071 --> 00:32:31,033
Maybe more so because it leaves
so many questions unanswered.
502
00:32:31,116 --> 00:32:33,952
But perhaps that’s just as well.
503
00:32:34,036 --> 00:32:36,747
Maria, if you’re suggesting
that the authorship
504
00:32:36,830 --> 00:32:41,168
of The Valley Beyond is a closed issue,
I’m sorry, but I disagree.
505
00:32:41,251 --> 00:32:45,214
Don’t be a fool.
First of all, Robert is lying.
506
00:32:45,297 --> 00:32:47,675
But even if you’re so gullible
as to believe his story,
507
00:32:47,758 --> 00:32:50,636
are you really prepared to go public?
With what?
508
00:32:50,719 --> 00:32:53,222
A dead man’s spurious, unprovable claim?
509
00:32:53,305 --> 00:32:56,266
-Where’s your evidence?
-Conveniently missing.
510
00:32:56,350 --> 00:32:58,686
Which is why I’m convinced
that the sheriff is looking
511
00:32:58,769 --> 00:33:00,562
in the wrong place for the killer.
512
00:33:00,646 --> 00:33:04,817
One of us? Well, I hardly think so.
513
00:33:04,900 --> 00:33:08,570
Murder is a solution to a problem
found only in cheap thrillers--
514
00:33:08,654 --> 00:33:11,198
the kind you write.
515
00:33:11,281 --> 00:33:13,033
One thing I’ve learned, Maria,
516
00:33:13,117 --> 00:33:14,910
there’s nothing
that a person is incapable of
517
00:33:14,993 --> 00:33:18,414
if the motive is strong enough. Excuse me.
518
00:33:21,250 --> 00:33:23,168
Jessica...
519
00:33:23,252 --> 00:33:25,713
for your own well-being, leave it alone.
520
00:33:25,796 --> 00:33:26,797
I can’t.
521
00:33:27,381 --> 00:33:31,802
Not only did my recommendation
put Bob Jarrett in this situation,
522
00:33:33,178 --> 00:33:35,264
he was my friend.
523
00:33:39,518 --> 00:33:42,813
I’ll tell you one thing: if I’d seen
that intruder last night,
524
00:33:42,896 --> 00:33:46,108
there’d be somebody else dead
this morning instead of Bob.
525
00:33:46,191 --> 00:33:49,361
Livvy, you told Hank that you heard
something outside the barn,
526
00:33:49,445 --> 00:33:52,489
-perhaps a coyote.
-It wasn’t though.
527
00:33:52,906 --> 00:33:56,243
That was about the same time
that I saw the shadow of someone
528
00:33:56,326 --> 00:33:58,829
moving toward Cat’s cabin.
529
00:33:58,912 --> 00:34:03,500
Yesterday, Bob told me
that he and Cat were friendly.
530
00:34:03,584 --> 00:34:06,920
Cat’s been known to be friendly
with anything in pants, including Bob.
531
00:34:07,004 --> 00:34:10,382
-For a while anyway.
-But then it ended?
532
00:34:10,466 --> 00:34:12,050
Or did it?
533
00:34:12,134 --> 00:34:15,971
Her husband was out of town,
Bob was leaving in the next day or two.
534
00:34:16,054 --> 00:34:17,973
You’re stalkin’ the wrong bear.
Cat wasn’t alone.
535
00:34:18,056 --> 00:34:20,517
-Her husband was home.
-Oh, you saw Barney?
536
00:34:20,601 --> 00:34:23,896
I saw his car when I was out
looking for the intruder.
537
00:34:23,979 --> 00:34:26,064
Come to think of it, though,
it wasn’t parked at their cabin.
538
00:34:26,148 --> 00:34:27,524
It was down
by one of the other outbuildings.
539
00:34:27,608 --> 00:34:30,110
Huh. Wonder why.
540
00:34:30,194 --> 00:34:33,363
Well, perhaps no one
was supposed to see it.
541
00:34:33,739 --> 00:34:35,657
[door opens]
[Jessica] Thank you, Livvy.
542
00:34:35,741 --> 00:34:37,868
Excuse me, miss Livvy, Mrs. Fletcher.
543
00:34:37,951 --> 00:34:39,912
The sheriff would like to see you both
in the house.
544
00:34:40,204 --> 00:34:41,872
Now, if you don’t mind.
545
00:34:43,999 --> 00:34:46,835
[Hank] His name’s Adam Perry,
according to his driver’s license.
546
00:34:46,919 --> 00:34:49,797
Is this the intruder
who was on the grounds last night?
547
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:51,757
I told you, I didn’t see anyone.
548
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,384
I just heard something move past the barn.
549
00:34:54,468 --> 00:34:57,638
Jessica saw him.
Well, he was more shadow than substance.
550
00:34:57,721 --> 00:35:00,140
I’m afraid I really
couldn’t identify anyone.
551
00:35:00,224 --> 00:35:02,643
Well, it’s no matter.
I.D. ain’t that vital.
552
00:35:05,354 --> 00:35:07,147
This here’s Trev Hudson’s favorite rifle--
553
00:35:07,231 --> 00:35:09,483
the one that was stolen from his office.
554
00:35:09,566 --> 00:35:12,528
I found it in this fella’s pickup.
555
00:35:12,611 --> 00:35:14,154
There’s blood on the butt.
556
00:35:14,238 --> 00:35:17,991
You’re crazy. I’ve never seen that before.
557
00:35:18,075 --> 00:35:20,619
Hey, boy, didn’t you listen to me
when I read you your rights?
558
00:35:20,702 --> 00:35:23,330
You keep your mouth shut
until you talk to a lawyer.
559
00:35:23,413 --> 00:35:25,332
Now, if that ain’t enough,
560
00:35:25,415 --> 00:35:29,086
I found this pretty little thing
in his duffel bag.
561
00:35:29,169 --> 00:35:30,879
The gold medallion from my father’s desk.
562
00:35:30,963 --> 00:35:33,757
Somebody planted that on me.
563
00:35:35,676 --> 00:35:38,387
Look, I’ve never killed anybody.
564
00:35:38,470 --> 00:35:40,848
I’ve never stolen anything.
Now, that’s the God’s truth!
565
00:35:40,931 --> 00:35:44,351
You tellin’ me you weren’t around here
last night?
566
00:35:44,434 --> 00:35:45,978
Son, we got possible eyewitnesses.
567
00:35:46,061 --> 00:35:49,940
We got forensics.
And let me tell you somethin’ else.
568
00:35:50,023 --> 00:35:51,650
When we run your prints off
to the state capitol,
569
00:35:51,733 --> 00:35:53,527
and maybe the F.B.I.,
570
00:35:53,610 --> 00:35:57,531
I think we’re gonna find
you got yourself one hell of a background.
571
00:35:57,614 --> 00:35:59,366
[Hank] Yeah, I kinda thought so.
572
00:36:01,910 --> 00:36:04,538
I’m sorry, Mrs. Fletcher.
I know you kinda had it figured otherwise,
573
00:36:04,621 --> 00:36:07,958
but the way I see it,
I’ve just come up with my killer.
574
00:36:18,218 --> 00:36:20,262
Hey. Come on.
575
00:36:33,609 --> 00:36:35,110
Good work, Hank.
576
00:36:35,193 --> 00:36:37,613
I guess now we can all
breathe a sigh of relief.
577
00:36:37,696 --> 00:36:40,365
Someday I’m gonna catch me a criminal,
and he’s gonna say,
578
00:36:40,449 --> 00:36:43,785
"Sheriff, I did it, and I deserve
to be punished for it."
579
00:36:43,869 --> 00:36:45,787
You know, Sheriff,
finding the gold medallion
580
00:36:45,871 --> 00:36:48,707
and the rifle was, well--
well, it was all very convenient--
581
00:36:48,790 --> 00:36:50,626
Ma’am, I wish
you wouldn’t start with that.
582
00:36:50,709 --> 00:36:51,835
But I’m personally more interested
583
00:36:51,919 --> 00:36:54,296
in what you didn’t find.
584
00:36:54,379 --> 00:36:58,926
I mean, for instance, whatever happened
to the notes for Trevor Hudson’s book?
585
00:36:59,009 --> 00:37:00,969
[Hank] Likely he didn’t think
they were valuable,
586
00:37:01,053 --> 00:37:03,013
and he tossed them out.
587
00:37:03,096 --> 00:37:05,474
There’s no cause to fret, ma’am.
We don’t need ’em.
588
00:37:05,557 --> 00:37:09,728
I’ve already got a real
sound case on Mr. Perry.
589
00:37:09,811 --> 00:37:12,731
If you’ll excuse me, ma’am,
I’ve got things to do.
590
00:37:17,444 --> 00:37:19,112
[Maria] Jessica.
591
00:37:21,865 --> 00:37:24,826
I see our conversation earlier
made no impression on you.
592
00:37:24,910 --> 00:37:28,121
I’m sorry. You’re making things
very difficult for all of us.
593
00:37:28,205 --> 00:37:30,457
Well, I’m sorry too.
594
00:37:30,540 --> 00:37:32,042
Are you going along with this, Dorothy,
595
00:37:32,125 --> 00:37:35,504
knowing that The Valley Beyond
is probably a fraud?
596
00:37:36,338 --> 00:37:38,298
Isn’t that really speculation, Jessica?
597
00:37:39,549 --> 00:37:42,636
Now look,
I’m in the business of publishing books.
598
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:45,472
Some good, some bad,
and I don’t really care which
599
00:37:45,555 --> 00:37:48,433
as long as they sell lots of copies.
600
00:37:48,517 --> 00:37:52,938
[Dorothy] And Trevor Hudson’s last novel
is going to sell a lot of copies.
601
00:37:53,021 --> 00:37:54,690
I see.
602
00:37:55,107 --> 00:37:56,316
Jessica.
603
00:37:57,818 --> 00:38:01,154
[Maria] I think under the circumstances,
it would be best if you were to leave.
604
00:38:02,781 --> 00:38:04,032
Best or safer?
605
00:38:04,950 --> 00:38:08,370
First, there’s someone I want to speak to,
then I’ll pack my things.
606
00:38:14,459 --> 00:38:16,753
Oh, come on, Jessica.
What would I know about last night?
607
00:38:16,837 --> 00:38:18,547
I was in Cheyenne closing a deal.
608
00:38:19,256 --> 00:38:21,800
Barney, I’m sorry,
but Livvy saw your car here
609
00:38:21,883 --> 00:38:24,636
shortly before the time
that Bob was murdered.
610
00:38:24,720 --> 00:38:27,180
Now, look, lady.
If you think I came back here
611
00:38:27,264 --> 00:38:29,266
to knock off Bob Jarrett, you’re crazy.
612
00:38:29,725 --> 00:38:32,477
Look, in spite of your
so-called open marriage,
613
00:38:32,561 --> 00:38:34,521
I believe that you told your wife
614
00:38:34,604 --> 00:38:36,982
that you were gonna
spend the night in Cheyenne,
615
00:38:37,065 --> 00:38:39,401
whereas, in fact, you came back here
to check up on her.
616
00:38:45,490 --> 00:38:46,825
You’re pretty sharp.
617
00:38:48,994 --> 00:38:50,662
Yeah, I came back.
618
00:38:52,497 --> 00:38:56,543
She wasn’t expecting me,
and knowing her as I do...
619
00:38:58,003 --> 00:39:00,422
-I understand.
-I don’t know if you do.
620
00:39:02,215 --> 00:39:05,218
Guys like me,
we talk tough when we’re scared.
621
00:39:07,512 --> 00:39:08,764
I don’t want to lose her.
622
00:39:11,308 --> 00:39:13,477
I keep saying things are great
even when they’re not.
623
00:39:20,192 --> 00:39:21,985
She was with a guy last night.
624
00:39:24,362 --> 00:39:25,989
I saw them through the window.
625
00:39:27,199 --> 00:39:29,367
Forgive me, Barney.
626
00:39:29,451 --> 00:39:32,621
Was she with Bob,
or was she with someone else?
627
00:39:32,704 --> 00:39:36,083
I’m not goin’ to any sheriff,
and I’m not going before any court!
628
00:39:36,166 --> 00:39:38,168
Have you ever heard
of an accessory after the fact?
629
00:39:38,251 --> 00:39:41,421
Barney, was the man with Cat
the same young man
630
00:39:41,505 --> 00:39:42,714
that the sheriff arrested?
631
00:39:43,965 --> 00:39:45,967
Yeah, it was the same guy. So what?
632
00:39:46,051 --> 00:39:48,011
Well, how long did he stay?
633
00:39:48,095 --> 00:39:50,013
You think I hung around here to find out?
634
00:39:50,889 --> 00:39:52,891
I’ve got smarts, but no guts.
635
00:39:53,934 --> 00:39:57,437
[sighs] I went to an all-night
greasy spoon for a while,
636
00:39:58,605 --> 00:40:00,315
and then I went to the airport and waited
637
00:40:00,398 --> 00:40:03,568
for the plane from Cheyenne
to come in so I could go home.
638
00:40:03,652 --> 00:40:05,362
And where is Cat now?
639
00:40:05,862 --> 00:40:09,241
I don’t know. Out. Her car is not here.
640
00:40:09,324 --> 00:40:12,953
I wonder why that drifter didn’t tell
the sheriff he was here with Cat.
641
00:40:13,036 --> 00:40:16,248
And put himself on the premises
around the time of the killing?
642
00:40:16,331 --> 00:40:18,250
Well, obviously he’s smarter than that.
643
00:40:18,333 --> 00:40:20,585
But one way or the other,
I have got to talk to Cat
644
00:40:20,669 --> 00:40:22,420
and straighten this thing out.
645
00:40:23,463 --> 00:40:27,008
-Thanks, Barney.
-Sure. Don’t mention it.
646
00:40:31,054 --> 00:40:32,681
[door opens]
647
00:40:34,391 --> 00:40:35,892
[door closes]
648
00:40:41,022 --> 00:40:42,774
Jessica, good news.
649
00:40:42,858 --> 00:40:44,568
I just got off the phone with the sheriff.
650
00:40:44,651 --> 00:40:46,862
He got a confession in the Jarrett murder.
651
00:40:46,945 --> 00:40:48,363
What? From whom?
652
00:40:48,655 --> 00:40:51,283
Th-that-that vagrant, uh, Adam Perry.
Who else?
653
00:40:51,575 --> 00:40:54,494
-Oh, but that’s not possible.
-Hank said it was signed and sealed.
654
00:40:54,786 --> 00:40:56,371
Oh, dear heavens. Quickly.
655
00:40:56,454 --> 00:40:58,123
We’ve got to get there
as fast as possible.
656
00:40:58,206 --> 00:41:00,000
-Jessica, what is it?
-Well, I’m very much afraid
657
00:41:00,083 --> 00:41:02,377
that we’re about to have another murder.
658
00:41:05,255 --> 00:41:08,842
[tires screeching]
659
00:41:40,457 --> 00:41:42,417
I’m telling you what Hank said.
660
00:41:42,500 --> 00:41:44,711
Adam Perry signed a full confession.
661
00:41:44,794 --> 00:41:50,175
But he couldn’t have. He had
an ironclad alibi. He was with your niece.
662
00:41:50,258 --> 00:41:52,385
-Cat?
-Barney saw them together.
663
00:41:52,469 --> 00:41:53,970
Now wait a minute.
664
00:41:54,054 --> 00:41:55,639
You said there was liable
to be another murder. Whose?
665
00:41:55,722 --> 00:42:01,102
Adam Perry. Oh, well, don’t you see?
The confession was a forgery.
666
00:42:01,186 --> 00:42:04,856
Hank Masters planted that evidence
and then forged the confession.
667
00:42:04,940 --> 00:42:08,735
And now he has to kill that young man
to cover his tracks. Hank?
668
00:42:08,818 --> 00:42:11,112
But why would he kill Bob Jarrett?
669
00:42:11,196 --> 00:42:15,784
Oh, out of loyalty to Trevor Hudson,
to protect the family.
670
00:42:15,867 --> 00:42:18,745
Or more likely,
to preserve the image of himself
671
00:42:18,828 --> 00:42:22,540
that he believed that Trev Hudson
had set down on paper.
672
00:42:27,545 --> 00:42:31,132
Come on in here.
Somebody wants to see ya.
673
00:42:39,808 --> 00:42:41,601
[tires screeching]
674
00:42:41,685 --> 00:42:43,311
[honking]
675
00:42:48,900 --> 00:42:50,485
I’ve been wonderin’ if you’d show up.
676
00:42:50,568 --> 00:42:53,613
Hi, Adam. I hear you’re in trouble.
677
00:42:53,697 --> 00:42:58,159
Yeah. Well, I wouldn’t be if you’d tell
the sheriff here where I spent the night.
678
00:43:01,579 --> 00:43:04,124
He was with me, in my cabin,
679
00:43:04,207 --> 00:43:07,002
until all the commotion-- you know,
when they found Bob’s body.
680
00:43:07,085 --> 00:43:08,962
And then I just took off, Sheriff.
681
00:43:09,045 --> 00:43:10,588
I lit out before you got there.
682
00:43:10,672 --> 00:43:12,465
Now, that’s the god’s honest truth.
683
00:43:12,549 --> 00:43:14,968
Is that the way it was, Cat?
684
00:43:15,051 --> 00:43:17,554
I didn’t want to say anything
on account of Barney.
685
00:43:18,013 --> 00:43:19,389
Maybe we could just
keep this between us.
686
00:43:19,472 --> 00:43:22,350
Well, now, this changes things
considerably.
687
00:43:24,311 --> 00:43:26,855
Cat, what do you think I oughta do
with this young fella?
688
00:43:28,648 --> 00:43:30,233
Well, I saw his pickup truck out back.
689
00:43:30,317 --> 00:43:32,777
One of my deputies brought it in.
690
00:43:32,861 --> 00:43:34,696
I got it workin’ again.
691
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:40,410
Back door.
692
00:43:43,913 --> 00:43:46,374
Get goin’ before I change my mind.
693
00:43:46,458 --> 00:43:49,210
Yeah. Thanks. See ya.
694
00:43:51,254 --> 00:43:52,380
[door opens]
695
00:43:52,464 --> 00:43:54,549
[door closes]
696
00:43:54,632 --> 00:43:58,136
Will you hurry up before he gets away?
He’s not goin’ anywhere.
697
00:44:02,349 --> 00:44:04,768
You can’t shoot a man unless he’s armed.
698
00:44:05,268 --> 00:44:07,228
[drawer clatters]
699
00:44:07,687 --> 00:44:09,022
He’s armed.
700
00:44:22,452 --> 00:44:25,288
[engine cranking]
701
00:44:25,372 --> 00:44:27,874
[cranking continues]
702
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:35,131
[engine cranking]
703
00:44:42,263 --> 00:44:44,974
[horn honking]
704
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:52,315
I’d hate to shoot you, Hank,
705
00:44:53,191 --> 00:44:55,985
but my aim’s so bad,
I might not be able to miss.
706
00:44:57,112 --> 00:44:59,322
Or maybe you’re planning
to shoot all of us.
707
00:44:59,406 --> 00:45:01,199
[man 1] What the hell’s all the commotion?
708
00:45:01,282 --> 00:45:03,493
[man 2] Don’t ask me.
Think I heard a gunshot.
709
00:45:03,576 --> 00:45:05,412
[man 1] Did you hear that?
710
00:45:05,495 --> 00:45:06,913
[man 2] Linda, stay back.
Stay back! Stay back!
711
00:45:06,996 --> 00:45:09,082
[man 3] Look out. Look out.
712
00:45:36,109 --> 00:45:38,278
Bob was in the office
workin’ on the galleys.
713
00:45:40,071 --> 00:45:42,365
Hank had the key. I gave it to him.
714
00:45:44,826 --> 00:45:46,911
He got into the house
and went into the office
715
00:45:46,995 --> 00:45:48,872
through the door from the foyer.
716
00:45:48,955 --> 00:45:51,499
Bob asked him to leave.
Hank argued with him.
717
00:45:53,460 --> 00:45:55,753
And then Hank took
the rifle from the rack.
718
00:45:58,465 --> 00:46:01,551
After he struck Bob,
he took the gold medallion
719
00:46:01,634 --> 00:46:04,387
from the desk
and then opened a desk drawer.
720
00:46:04,471 --> 00:46:07,307
He knew exactly what to take
from the files in the desk.
721
00:46:09,058 --> 00:46:10,894
After that, he let himself out
the French doors
722
00:46:10,977 --> 00:46:13,771
and broke the glass from the outside
to make it look like some burglar
723
00:46:13,855 --> 00:46:15,106
had forced his way in.
724
00:46:16,483 --> 00:46:19,277
He made me help him.
There wasn’t anything I could do.
725
00:46:24,574 --> 00:46:29,787
That’s not true. I was afraid.
I was afraid just like the rest of them.
726
00:46:29,871 --> 00:46:31,706
Afraid that Bob
was gonna spoil everything.
727
00:46:35,752 --> 00:46:37,128
Hank knew that I spent a couple hours
728
00:46:37,212 --> 00:46:39,923
with Adam in a motel off an interstate.
729
00:46:41,132 --> 00:46:43,843
Hell, Hank knew everything
that went on around here.
730
00:46:45,178 --> 00:46:48,181
He took me aside and said that
we needed to get rid of Bob
731
00:46:48,264 --> 00:46:50,475
before he smeared
my grandfather’s reputation.
732
00:46:51,809 --> 00:46:53,311
But he needed someone to pin it on.
733
00:46:53,394 --> 00:46:55,855
Otherwise, everybody would know
it was one of us.
734
00:46:58,233 --> 00:47:00,527
He said he needed me
to help him frame Adam.
735
00:47:03,821 --> 00:47:07,325
Look, I just wanted that part
in the movie. Don’t you understand?
736
00:47:08,910 --> 00:47:11,454
The lead in the biggest movie of the year.
737
00:47:11,538 --> 00:47:15,500
I mean, no more R-rated cheapies,
no more crummy television movies.
738
00:47:17,627 --> 00:47:19,587
Was that so wrong?
