That's wonderful. How did you do it? 46 00:04:22,929 --> 00:04:25,591 You're too young to ask. 47 00:04:25,666 --> 00:04:29,534 I hate to break this to you, but Larry's set up a press conference at 4:00. 48 00:04:29,603 --> 00:04:31,969 It's sort of a five-year birthday party. 49 00:04:32,039 --> 00:04:35,167 Our anniversary is on Friday.

What did he learn? 60 00:05:12,546 --> 00:05:14,946 From me? Nothing. 61 00:05:15,015 --> 00:05:18,143 I clipped this out of yesterday's newspaper. 62 00:05:18,218 --> 00:05:20,652 My God. 63 00:05:20,721 --> 00:05:23,656 We have to do something.

Just for old times' sake. 69 00:05:42,809 --> 00:05:45,710 I have to get back. Faculty meeting. 70 00:05:45,779 --> 00:05:47,974 Perhaps next time. 71 00:07:06,326 --> 00:07:09,454 Are you looking for something special? 72 00:07:11,531 --> 00:07:15,467 I assume you have a very good reason for breaking into my home. 73 00:07:15,535 --> 00:07:19,130 Harry McGraw, Mrs. Fletcher. You're one of my clients. 74 00:07:19,206 --> 00:07:21,834 Miles & McGraw. 75 00:07:21,908 --> 00:07:24,172 I'm sorry, Mr. McGraw. 76 00:07:24,244 --> 00:07:27,145 I understood that Mr. Miles was handling my investigation. 77 00:07:27,214 --> 00:07:30,149 Not anymore. Three nights ago, somebody blew him apart... 78 00:07:30,217 --> 00:07:33,277 with a.45 automatic. Lord... 79 00:07:33,353 --> 00:07:36,151 He was bird-dogging three cases, one of which was yours. 80 00:07:36,223 --> 00:07:39,852 Well, surely you don't think that l... No, I don't. 81 00:07:39,926 --> 00:07:42,224 But somebody involved with your case might have. 82 00:07:42,295 --> 00:07:46,356 Mr. McGraw, if you needed information from me, all you had to do was call and ask. 83 00:07:46,433 --> 00:07:49,664 - That's not my style. - So I see. 84 00:07:49,736 --> 00:07:53,399 Well, what makes you think it was my case that led to his death? 85 00:07:53,473 --> 00:07:56,670 I don't think anything yet. I've been in Tulsa for the past month... 86 00:07:56,743 --> 00:07:59,075 doing undercover work on an oil field. 87 00:07:59,145 --> 00:08:01,705 Mr. McGraw, I liked Mr. Miles very much. 88 00:08:01,781 --> 00:08:03,715 If there's anything that I can do to help... 89 00:08:03,783 --> 00:08:06,547 I don't need or want your help, Mrs. Fletcher. 90 00:08:06,620 --> 00:08:09,418 As a matter of fact, I'm beginning to think this Danbury case of yours... 91 00:08:09,489 --> 00:08:11,423 is as dead as Al Capone. 92 00:08:11,491 --> 00:08:14,722 He said he might have a lead. A little town in Vermont. 93 00:08:14,794 --> 00:08:19,595 There was nothing about that in the files. It took a lot of guts to face me down in here, not knowing who I was. 94 00:08:19,666 --> 00:08:22,760 It didn't take any guts at all, Mr. McGraw. 95 00:08:22,836 --> 00:08:27,432 While I was out, I phoned the sheriff. He should be along anytime now. 96 00:08:27,507 --> 00:08:31,500 You'll excuse me, but I don't have time to waste with any hick cop. 97 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,507 We both liked Archie, Mrs. Fletcher, and I'm gonna balance the books. 98 00:08:37,584 --> 00:08:40,075 You can count on it. 99 00:08:59,940 --> 00:09:02,431 Mrs. Miles? 100 00:09:02,509 --> 00:09:05,740 Please accept my condolences. I'm Jessica Fletcher. 101 00:09:05,812 --> 00:09:09,475 Your husband was working on a case for me. I know who you are, Mrs. Fletcher. 102 00:09:09,549 --> 00:09:12,450 He was a delightful man. I liked him very much. 103 00:09:12,519 --> 00:09:15,147 So did I. Excuse me. 104 00:09:15,221 --> 00:09:18,554 Mrs. Miles, I'm upset at the thought that I... 105 00:09:18,625 --> 00:09:21,389 that is, that my case might have led to your husband's death. 106 00:09:21,461 --> 00:09:24,828 I'd like your help. There's nothing I can tell you. 107 00:09:24,898 --> 00:09:29,733 Well, on the telephone he mentioned he had a lead to a little town in Vermont, 108 00:09:29,803 --> 00:09:32,169 but there's nothing in his files. 109 00:09:32,238 --> 00:09:35,401 Perhaps he said something to you. No. I'm sorry. 110 00:09:35,475 --> 00:09:38,308 Mrs. Miles... Look, Mrs. Fletcher. He's dead. 111 00:09:38,378 --> 00:09:41,836 Whatever he was doing died with him. 112 00:09:41,915 --> 00:09:44,679 It doesn't make a bit of difference now. 113 00:10:06,573 --> 00:10:08,666 Hi. So? 114 00:10:08,742 --> 00:10:12,872 - Well, he's still in there. - All right. I'll take it from here. 115 00:10:12,946 --> 00:10:15,779 - You talk to his wife yet? - Our client? 116 00:10:15,849 --> 00:10:19,341 Yeah. Yeah. Nice lady. She's put together like a Steinway. 117 00:10:19,419 --> 00:10:22,047 A little dim upstairs though. 118 00:10:22,122 --> 00:10:26,320 She still loves this guy, even though he's probably dippin' in somebody else's hot tub. 119 00:10:26,393 --> 00:10:30,386 Well, I'll see you tomorrow. Ray, do me a favor. 120 00:10:30,463 --> 00:10:33,159 Buzz by the Daniels woman's place and find out what's happening? 121 00:10:33,233 --> 00:10:36,464 Harry, give me a break. I've been up for 20 hours. 122 00:10:36,536 --> 00:10:39,164 Yeah, all right. Go ahead. Go home and get some sleep. 123 00:11:24,651 --> 00:11:26,585 8:05, Wednesday. 124 00:11:26,653 --> 00:11:30,350 Surveillance subject Ernest Santini departs construction shack... 125 00:11:30,423 --> 00:11:34,052 heading north on Saddler Avenue, driving late model Seville. 126 00:11:34,127 --> 00:11:38,587 Speed moderate. If he knows I'm huggin' his bumper, he's keepin' it to himself. 127 00:11:41,167 --> 00:11:44,398 Subject turning into an alley half block north of Fulton. 128 00:12:04,524 --> 00:12:07,721 Hey. Hey, look! Take it easy! What... 129 00:12:12,699 --> 00:12:14,894 Come on, fellas. 130 00:12:14,968 --> 00:12:17,960 Mr. Santini asked us to give you a message, sport. 131 00:12:36,322 --> 00:12:38,256 Harry! 132 00:12:38,324 --> 00:12:40,554 Forget it, Alma. I'm not in the mood. 133 00:12:40,627 --> 00:12:44,256 I-I don't suppose you saw a doctor. As soon as we get Blue Cross, sweetheart. 134 00:12:44,330 --> 00:12:48,596 Listen. Get Ray in here. I'm gonna nail that Sicilian bricklayer to the barn door. 135 00:12:48,668 --> 00:12:53,105 Harry, you got company. She said you were expecting her. 136 00:12:59,145 --> 00:13:01,670 Mrs. Fletcher. Good morning, Mr. McGraw. 137 00:13:01,748 --> 00:13:03,682 Dear. What happened? 138 00:13:03,750 --> 00:13:07,049 I fell off a building. Look. I'm kinda busy right now. 139 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:11,318 Well, so am I. I've got my files from the Danbury Scalpel Murder trial. 140 00:13:11,391 --> 00:13:13,450 I'd like to go through them with you. 141 00:13:13,526 --> 00:13:16,120 Lady, I told you. That case is a dead-end. 142 00:13:16,196 --> 00:13:18,664 Sure, 25 years ago it sold a lot of newspapers. 143 00:13:18,731 --> 00:13:22,292 Rich doctor acquitted of hospital murder by sharp lawyer. 144 00:13:22,368 --> 00:13:24,393 Was he really innocent? Who cares? 145 00:13:24,470 --> 00:13:26,802 The guy died nine years ago, 146 00:13:26,873 --> 00:13:30,104 along with practically everybody else connected with the case. 147 00:13:30,176 --> 00:13:33,145 So do me a favor? Just let it alone, and me alone with it. 148 00:13:33,213 --> 00:13:38,310 I will as soon as I'm satisfied that your partner's investigation of that case did not lead to his death. 149 00:13:38,384 --> 00:13:41,376 Remember I told you Archie was working on three cases? 150 00:13:41,454 --> 00:13:44,423 One of the other two... That's where I'm gonna find our guy. 151 00:13:44,490 --> 00:13:47,482 Are you sure of that? Let me spell it out for you. 152 00:13:47,560 --> 00:13:49,494 One, there's a guy named Santini. 153 00:13:49,562 --> 00:13:52,030 He's been cattin' around every night for about the past six weeks. 154 00:13:52,098 --> 00:13:55,864 Wife smells another broad. Why not? They've been married almost 20 years. 155 00:13:55,935 --> 00:13:58,495 So last night I'm tailing this Santini, 156 00:13:58,571 --> 00:14:02,234 and I run into three of his pals who try to use me for a trampoline. 157 00:14:02,308 --> 00:14:04,401 So I see. But they didn't kill you. 158 00:14:04,477 --> 00:14:08,345 If they'd been responsible for killing Mr. Miles, they'd hardly hesitate in eliminating you as well. 159 00:14:08,414 --> 00:14:10,746 What's the other case? 160 00:14:10,817 --> 00:14:13,684 A background investigation on a dame named Priscilla Daniels. 161 00:14:13,753 --> 00:14:15,948 Yes. The woman who runs Femininity magazine. 162 00:14:16,022 --> 00:14:18,354 - A friend? - No. 163 00:14:18,424 --> 00:14:21,621 But for the past two years, she's been trying to encourage me to write an article. 164 00:14:21,694 --> 00:14:24,595 Good idea. Do it, and stay out of my hair. 165 00:14:24,664 --> 00:14:27,428 Mr. McGraw, there's no reason to be rude. 166 00:14:27,500 --> 00:14:31,163 Look, Mrs. Fletcher. Why don't you take some advice... 167 00:14:31,237 --> 00:14:35,401 Why don't you devote that boundless energy of yours to needlepoint or a bridge club? 168 00:14:35,475 --> 00:14:40,276 I tried that. It's precisely the reason I wrote my first book.

We loved him. All of us. 199 00:16:46,839 --> 00:16:50,331 So, believe me, we want to see his killer go down permanently. 200 00:16:50,410 --> 00:16:53,868 And that's why we're all gonna stay out of Harry McGraw's way. 201 00:16:53,946 --> 00:16:58,906 So Mr. McGraw can try, sentence and execute him? 202 00:16:58,985 --> 00:17:02,512 Well, naturally we'd prefer that he turn him over to us first. 203 00:17:02,588 --> 00:17:04,886 And if he doesn't? 204 00:17:04,957 --> 00:17:07,585 Well, at least we won't have to worry about the possibility... 205 00:17:07,660 --> 00:17:10,686 of some slick lawyer getting the dirtbag off on a technicality. 206 00:17:31,684 --> 00:17:36,917 Pardon me, ma'am.

I think you'd have liked him. 221 00:18:35,515 --> 00:18:38,279 He was a kind and loving man... 222 00:18:38,351 --> 00:18:42,219 who taught me to value the small joys of everyday life. 223 00:18:42,288 --> 00:18:45,155 Yes.

That chapter of my life is closed. 335 00:25:52,184 --> 00:25:55,153 Let me add this.

For someone else. 346 00:26:31,757 --> 00:26:33,987 Really? I was wondering, 347 00:26:34,059 --> 00:26:36,619 could he have been hired by someone... 348 00:26:36,695 --> 00:26:41,064 who might wish to thwart your political ambitions? 349 00:26:41,133 --> 00:26:45,593 I'm sorry, Jessica. I don't know anything about your murdered detective. 350 00:26:45,671 --> 00:26:49,539 And as for politics, any rumors you may have heard are simply that. 351 00:26:49,608 --> 00:26:52,771 Yes, of course. Just one more thing, Priscilla. 352 00:26:52,845 --> 00:26:56,178 I merely said the detective died. 353 00:26:56,248 --> 00:26:59,684 I said nothing about murder. 354 00:27:09,662 --> 00:27:12,597 Good morning. Hi, Mrs. Fletcher. 355 00:27:12,665 --> 00:27:16,328 Please don't get up, Mr. Kravitz. Is Mr. McGraw in? 356 00:27:16,402 --> 00:27:19,701 He's here, but you can't see him. Is someone with him? 357 00:27:19,772 --> 00:27:22,707 He just doesn't want to be disturbed. 358 00:27:22,775 --> 00:27:25,642 I'm sorry, but I'm afraid we've got work to do. 359 00:27:25,711 --> 00:27:28,043 Mrs. Fletcher? 360 00:27:28,113 --> 00:27:31,879 You don't mind if I sleep while you talk, do you, Mrs. Fletcher? 361 00:27:31,950 --> 00:27:35,886 I thought you might be interested in knowing who hired you to investigate Priscilla Daniels. 362 00:27:35,954 --> 00:27:39,014 Yeah? Who? 363 00:27:39,091 --> 00:27:41,491 Priscilla Daniels. 364 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:43,994 And what led you to that brilliant deduction? 365 00:27:44,063 --> 00:27:49,023 Despite transparent pretense to the contrary, she knew Archie Miles. 366 00:27:49,101 --> 00:27:51,899 So she knew him? 367 00:27:51,970 --> 00:27:54,370 You client wanted to remain anonymous, 368 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:58,376 so Archie used a code... the initials E.P.F. 369 00:27:58,444 --> 00:28:01,242 Now, I don't think they represent a name, Mr. McGraw. 370 00:28:01,313 --> 00:28:06,012 I think they stand for Editor and Publisher of Femininity. 371 00:28:06,085 --> 00:28:08,383 Mrs. Daniels has political ambitions. 372 00:28:08,454 --> 00:28:10,581 Now, supposing she had something in her past... 373 00:28:10,656 --> 00:28:13,056 something that she was afraid might come out in a campaign. 374 00:28:13,125 --> 00:28:15,059 Skeletons in the basement. 375 00:28:15,127 --> 00:28:17,755 So she hires us to find out how deep they're buried, 376 00:28:17,830 --> 00:28:20,230 figuring if we don't find 'em, nobody else will. 377 00:28:20,299 --> 00:28:23,200 Of course, even if she hired your partner, it doesn't mean that she killed him. 378 00:28:23,268 --> 00:28:26,726 Unless Archie found the bones... whatever it was she was tryin' to hide. 379 00:28:26,805 --> 00:28:31,105 Maybe he confronted her with it. But if he discovered something, why wasn't it in the file? 380 00:28:31,176 --> 00:28:33,974 Not if he didn't have time to write it down. 381 00:28:34,046 --> 00:28:37,743 Archie spent a few days in that little college town where she was married to that professor. 382 00:28:37,816 --> 00:28:40,546 Maybe he came up with something that goes way back. 383 00:28:40,619 --> 00:28:43,611 And speaking of way back, I ran into a new lead last night. 384 00:28:43,689 --> 00:28:45,919 I met somebody who has something to hide. 385 00:28:45,991 --> 00:28:50,291 The Danbury Scalpel Murder may not be as dead as we thought. 386 00:28:50,362 --> 00:28:53,229 All right, Jessica. You track down your lead, 387 00:28:53,298 --> 00:28:55,823 and I'll trace Archie's footprints around that college. 388 00:28:55,901 --> 00:28:58,563 Maybe one of us will get lucky. 389 00:28:58,637 --> 00:29:01,834 I'd offer you coffee, Mrs. Fletcher, 390 00:29:01,907 --> 00:29:04,273 but I've already packed away the coffeemaker. 391 00:29:04,343 --> 00:29:08,040 I'm fine. Now, you're sure there's nothing I can do to help? 392 00:29:08,113 --> 00:29:11,674 Thanks, but no. I'll be staying with my sister in Hartford. 393 00:29:11,750 --> 00:29:14,412 Just till I get my bearings. 394 00:29:14,486 --> 00:29:18,013 Look.

Then Archie did tell you something. 397 00:29:27,199 --> 00:29:30,259 No, but I found this tucked in his jacket pocket. 398 00:29:30,335 --> 00:29:32,929 "Sudberry, Cargill." 399 00:29:33,005 --> 00:29:35,940 Does it mean anything? I don't know. 400 00:29:36,008 --> 00:29:39,774 He was tracking down some woman named Martha Clay. 401 00:29:39,845 --> 00:29:43,281 You know, if someone did kill Archie because of this, 402 00:29:43,348 --> 00:29:46,511 I'm not doing you any favors by giving it to you. 403 00:29:46,585 --> 00:29:49,816 Thank you, Mrs. Miles. I'll be very careful. Promise. 404 00:30:03,168 --> 00:30:05,466 Now, don't you worry about it, Mrs. Perkins. 405 00:30:05,537 --> 00:30:08,404 You have Roy Brown down at the garage come look at it, 406 00:30:08,473 --> 00:30:11,169 and we should have it fixed for you in a jiffy. 407 00:30:11,243 --> 00:30:13,871 Sure.

I'm not sure. 529 00:38:25,203 --> 00:38:27,637 I didn't know this was going to be an inquisition. 530 00:38:27,706 --> 00:38:30,197 I'm sorry, Priscilla. I'm trying to prevent another killing. 531 00:38:30,275 --> 00:38:33,369 I want to know why you changed your mind about running for political office. 532 00:38:33,445 --> 00:38:35,470 I don't know what you're talking about. 533 00:38:35,547 --> 00:38:40,075 Was it something that Mr. Miles picked up in the investigation he was conducting on your behalf? 534 00:38:40,151 --> 00:38:44,144 That's absurd. Please, Priscilla. There just isn't any time. 535 00:38:44,222 --> 00:38:47,385 Something was ripped out of the detective agency's files, 536 00:38:47,459 --> 00:38:50,189 and suddenly you decide not to seek office. 537 00:38:50,261 --> 00:38:52,559 Now, I am sure that there is some connection. 538 00:38:52,630 --> 00:38:56,225 Have you within the last 24 hours received a blackmail threat? 539 00:38:56,301 --> 00:38:58,235 Yes, Mrs. Fletcher, she has. 540 00:38:58,303 --> 00:39:00,737 Gavin... Priscilla, a man has been murdered. 541 00:39:00,805 --> 00:39:03,501 Besides, none of it will remain a secret much longer. 542 00:39:05,176 --> 00:39:07,144 All right. 543 00:39:07,212 --> 00:39:10,545 Seventeen years ago, Priscilla became pregnant with my child. 544 00:39:10,615 --> 00:39:13,345 She was a grad student. I was a young professor. 545 00:39:13,418 --> 00:39:15,409 I was also married to another woman. 546 00:39:18,123 --> 00:39:22,583 Priscilla chose to have an abortion. Later, after my divorce, we were married. 547 00:39:22,660 --> 00:39:26,562 But by then it was too late. Complications associated with the abortion... 548 00:39:26,631 --> 00:39:29,464 made it impossible for her ever to bear another child. 549 00:39:29,534 --> 00:39:33,095 Even though I traveled out of the state, Mr. Miles discovered our secret. 550 00:39:33,171 --> 00:39:37,870 Yes, I did hire him, Jessica, for that very reason. 551 00:39:37,942 --> 00:39:41,503 In this day and age, no woman can run for public office... 552 00:39:41,579 --> 00:39:43,740 with abortion hanging over her head. 553 00:39:43,815 --> 00:39:46,375 And the blackmail threat? 554 00:39:46,451 --> 00:39:49,818 I received a call early this morning. A man. He didn't identify himself. 555 00:39:49,888 --> 00:39:53,654 He said he had a copy of the hospital records... 556 00:39:53,725 --> 00:39:56,626 and wanted a quarter of a million dollars to keep quiet. 557 00:39:56,694 --> 00:39:58,958 So l... 558 00:39:59,030 --> 00:40:03,262 Gavin and I decided that the best thing for me to do... 559 00:40:03,334 --> 00:40:07,270 would be to drop out of the race and to make a clean breast of my past. 560 00:40:07,338 --> 00:40:09,499 I think that was very wise. 561 00:40:09,574 --> 00:40:13,977 Mrs. Fletcher, one thing puzzles me. This detective was killed over a week ago, 562 00:40:14,045 --> 00:40:16,513 yet the first blackmail call came only this morning. 563 00:40:16,581 --> 00:40:20,984 Which means that a third party has belatedly surfaced, Mr. Daniels, 564 00:40:21,052 --> 00:40:24,146 and I'm quite sure it's the same person who killed Archie Miles. 565 00:40:39,003 --> 00:40:42,302 Lieutenant, l... I wanted to talk to you. 566 00:40:42,373 --> 00:40:46,002 Could it wait, Mrs. Fletcher? I'm dead beat, and I'm going home. 567 00:40:46,077 --> 00:40:49,877 I'm sure you're very tired, and so am I. 568 00:41:06,764 --> 00:41:10,359 - Harry? - You know this guy? 569 00:41:10,435 --> 00:41:13,632 - Yeah, I know him. And who are you? - My name is Santini, 570 00:41:13,705 --> 00:41:18,142 and I'm pressing assault charges against this gum ball. 571 00:41:21,980 --> 00:41:24,847 This creep... or one of his pals... 572 00:41:24,916 --> 00:41:27,749 has been tailing me for the past couple of weeks. 573 00:41:27,819 --> 00:41:31,152 I thought maybe it was union guys or a competitor. 574 00:41:31,222 --> 00:41:35,716 Then tonight, my wife tells me that she hired these bozos, like I was fooling around or something. 575 00:41:35,793 --> 00:41:39,854 Well, you must admit, Mr. Santini, you've been disappearing a lot every evening. 576 00:41:39,931 --> 00:41:42,900 I mean, it's only natural that your wife would be concerned. 577 00:41:42,967 --> 00:41:46,926 My wife is a certifiable hysteric who falls apart if the morning newspaper comes late. 578 00:41:47,005 --> 00:41:50,497 She likes things neat and predictable... a place for everything, everything in its place. 579 00:41:50,575 --> 00:41:53,908 - Including you? - It so happens, buster, 580 00:41:53,978 --> 00:41:56,845 that I've been married almost 20 years, and I'm still crazy about that woman. 581 00:41:56,915 --> 00:41:59,281 Which is why you've been sneakin' around at night, right? 582 00:41:59,350 --> 00:42:03,446 Hey, potato face, you wanna know where I've been? I'll tell ya. 583 00:42:03,521 --> 00:42:06,888 Three years ago, we had this sailboat down at the marina. 584 00:42:06,958 --> 00:42:11,452 Got destroyed in a storm, so I figured I'd surprise the old lady for our 20th anniversary. 585 00:42:11,529 --> 00:42:15,465 I've been working almost every night with this boat guy to build a duplicate. 586 00:42:15,533 --> 00:42:17,467 It's supposed to be a surprise. Understand? 587 00:42:17,535 --> 00:42:20,197 I tried to tell you, only you were too busy swingin' to listen. 588 00:42:20,271 --> 00:42:22,466 This boat builder... Does he have a name? 589 00:42:22,540 --> 00:42:25,475 Shelley Dinsmann. He's in the book. 590 00:42:25,543 --> 00:42:28,307 Okay, Mr. Santini. You can go. 591 00:42:28,379 --> 00:42:33,407 Listen. The boat... It's still gonna be a surprise. You understand, Jack? 592 00:42:38,523 --> 00:42:42,755 Harry, your eye looks terrible. He caught me when I wasn't lookin'. 593 00:42:42,827 --> 00:42:47,958 Did anyone notice that we just lost our best suspect in Archie's murder? 594 00:42:48,032 --> 00:42:51,160 Lieutenant, I started to tell you I do have an idea. 595 00:42:51,235 --> 00:42:53,999 Harry, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to go back up to the office, 596 00:42:54,072 --> 00:42:56,768 and I'm sure that Alma will have left. 597 00:42:56,841 --> 00:42:59,105 May I borrow your keys? Come on, Jessica. 598 00:42:59,177 --> 00:43:01,372 Please. It's important. 599 00:43:02,981 --> 00:43:05,472 I think I do have the answer, 600 00:43:05,550 --> 00:43:07,916 but I'm gonna need a little help to prove it. 601 00:43:20,031 --> 00:43:23,865 Hello? Is that you, Mr. Kravitz? 602 00:43:23,935 --> 00:43:26,870 Sorry. I must have locked the door on you. 603 00:43:26,938 --> 00:43:29,668 That's okay. I got my key. What's goin' on? 604 00:43:29,741 --> 00:43:33,177 I came as soon as I could. You said something happened to Harry? 605 00:43:33,244 --> 00:43:35,872 Yes. He got into a terrible brawl with that Mr. Santini. 606 00:43:35,947 --> 00:43:39,678 He found him, did he? I thought he would. 607 00:43:39,751 --> 00:43:43,346 - He didn't kill him, did he? - No. Mr. Santini is just fine. 608 00:43:43,421 --> 00:43:47,915 He's also been cleared of responsibility in Mr. Miles's death. 609 00:43:47,992 --> 00:43:52,486 Is that so? Somebody else must have tried to ace me tonight then. 610 00:43:52,563 --> 00:43:55,964 No, Mr. Kravitz. Nobody tried to ace you tonight. 611 00:43:56,034 --> 00:43:59,731 That so-called attack was staged by you... 612 00:43:59,804 --> 00:44:02,671 to divert suspicion onto Mr. Santini... 613 00:44:02,740 --> 00:44:05,334 and away from Mrs. Daniels. 614 00:44:05,410 --> 00:44:07,674 What are you talking about? 615 00:44:07,745 --> 00:44:10,737 You fired those shots through the car windshield. 616 00:44:10,815 --> 00:44:14,080 You also fired the shots that killed Archie Miles. 617 00:44:14,152 --> 00:44:16,848 Come on, lady. You been smokin' funny cigarettes or something? 618 00:44:16,921 --> 00:44:21,415 You killed Mr. Miles because he'd stumbled on to Priscilla's long-ago abortion, 619 00:44:21,492 --> 00:44:26,225 which, considering her political ambition, was made-to-order for blackmail. 620 00:44:26,297 --> 00:44:30,927 But, of course, Archie would never have permitted that, which is why you had to kill him. 621 00:44:31,002 --> 00:44:33,368 I suppose you can prove all this. 622 00:44:33,438 --> 00:44:36,066 When I was going through the Daniels file, 623 00:44:36,140 --> 00:44:38,836 I realized one of the papers had been hurriedly removed. 624 00:44:38,910 --> 00:44:43,279 In ripping out the sheet of paper, you know, you left a tiny fragment behind. 625 00:44:43,347 --> 00:44:49,013 Priscilla told me, early this morning a man had called demanding money. 626 00:44:49,087 --> 00:44:53,285 That doesn't mean it was me. Could have been anybody, even Harry. 627 00:44:53,357 --> 00:44:56,690 Harry was in Tulsa when his partner was killed. 628 00:44:56,761 --> 00:44:59,662 No, it was you, Mr. Kravitz, 629 00:44:59,731 --> 00:45:02,632 and the evidence is on that tape. 630 00:45:02,700 --> 00:45:05,294 What tape? This one. 631 00:45:05,369 --> 00:45:09,362 I had this machine running when you entered the outer office a few moments ago. Listen. 632 00:45:15,913 --> 00:45:18,780 Hello? 633 00:45:18,850 --> 00:45:22,752 Is that you, Mr. Kravitz? Sorry. I must have locked the door on you. 634 00:45:22,820 --> 00:45:25,288 That's o... 635 00:45:25,356 --> 00:45:28,553 So? You must have heard that. 636 00:45:28,626 --> 00:45:32,062 The jangle of those keys on your key chain. A very distinctive sound. 637 00:45:40,838 --> 00:45:45,275 Regarding search for principals involved in the Danbury Scalpel Murder. 638 00:45:48,379 --> 00:45:52,611 Who's there? Alma, is that you? 639 00:45:52,683 --> 00:45:55,277 I'm sure you heard that sound too. 640 00:45:55,353 --> 00:45:59,585 That, too, was the sound of your key chain. 641 00:45:59,657 --> 00:46:01,921 You see, when Alma left, she locked the door. 642 00:46:01,993 --> 00:46:04,723 Harry said she always locked up when she left. 643 00:46:04,796 --> 00:46:09,460 So you had to unlock the door to get in. It could only have been someone with a key... 644 00:46:09,534 --> 00:46:13,994 and someone whose keys would have made that sound. 645 00:46:14,071 --> 00:46:18,405 You're a clever lady, but you're also pretty dumb. 646 00:46:18,476 --> 00:46:23,209 You're not so smart yourself, Ray. Go ahead. Just twitch. 647 00:46:25,750 --> 00:46:30,619 Harry, for God's sake, I'm layin' it down. 648 00:46:32,156 --> 00:46:34,784 Don't shoot. 649 00:46:37,128 --> 00:46:39,961 You better pray you get convicted, Ray, 650 00:46:40,031 --> 00:46:43,057 'cause that's the only way you're gonna see your next birthday. 651 00:46:51,042 --> 00:46:55,411 Look. I appreciate you driving me to the bus terminal, but I could have taken a cab. 652 00:46:55,479 --> 00:46:58,073 But terminal? You're gettin' curb service to Cabot Cove. 653 00:46:58,149 --> 00:47:00,947 No, that's not necessary. Listen, Jessie. 654 00:47:01,018 --> 00:47:05,148 I think it's time you stopped screwin' around with all these stupid books and got to work. What? 655 00:47:05,223 --> 00:47:07,248 Life's a circus. You understand? 656 00:47:07,325 --> 00:47:10,624 Now, some people, they see the tents, and they just drive by. 657 00:47:10,695 --> 00:47:14,256 Other people are in there walkin' on the high wire. That's me. 658 00:47:14,332 --> 00:47:18,325 All I'm sayin' is, don't sit back and watch. Jump in. 659 00:47:18,402 --> 00:47:20,700 Harry, I do believe you're offering me a job. 660 00:47:20,771 --> 00:47:25,037 McGraw & Fletcher. Your brains, my knuckles. 661 00:47:25,109 --> 00:47:28,340 Yeah, that's nice, but, no, thanks. 662 00:47:28,412 --> 00:47:32,178 Yeah, that's what you say now, but it's 124 miles to Cabot Cove, 663 00:47:32,250 --> 00:47:34,718 and I can be very persuasive. 60029
