1
00:00:00,084 --> 00:00:01,168
You're breaking my arm!
2
00:00:01,252 --> 00:00:02,378
I told you not to pick a fight.
3
00:00:02,461 --> 00:00:03,337
Didn't I tell you that?
4
00:00:03,421 --> 00:00:04,797
First time I saw that Bennett,
5
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:05,923
I knew he was nothing but trouble.
6
00:00:06,006 --> 00:00:07,216
-Wayne?
-Yeah?
7
00:00:07,299 --> 00:00:09,218
I'd like to book you
for a private session.
8
00:00:10,469 --> 00:00:12,346
[Jessica] Tonight on Murder, She Wrote.
9
00:00:12,430 --> 00:00:15,391
a man was found shot to death
in Eve's bedroom.
10
00:00:15,474 --> 00:00:16,475
Come on, Wayne.
11
00:00:16,559 --> 00:00:18,436
Don't force me to call your local sheriff.
12
00:00:18,519 --> 00:00:20,521
Freddie, of course, he's more my age.
13
00:00:20,604 --> 00:00:23,357
He's witty, and intellectually,
we're simpatico.
14
00:00:23,441 --> 00:00:25,609
Well, then, what's Wayne?
15
00:00:25,693 --> 00:00:27,111
Oh, Wayne's all hormones.
16
00:00:27,570 --> 00:00:29,989
-Freeze!
-Don't shoot.
17
00:00:32,074 --> 00:00:34,994
[cheerful orchestral music]
18
00:01:32,843 --> 00:01:35,221
[woman] And three, two, three, four.
19
00:01:35,304 --> 00:01:38,057
And right, two, three, four.
20
00:01:38,140 --> 00:01:40,142
Very good, and left.
21
00:01:40,226 --> 00:01:42,019
With the arms, keep it going.
22
00:01:42,102 --> 00:01:44,522
Feel the burn.
23
00:01:44,605 --> 00:01:46,816
Keep it up. Keep those legs up.
24
00:01:46,899 --> 00:01:49,777
There you go.
25
00:01:49,860 --> 00:01:52,154
-[man] That's it. Keep it up.
-[same woman] Work those thighs.
26
00:01:52,238 --> 00:01:55,699
Work those thighs.
Yes, feel that burn. Good.
27
00:01:55,783 --> 00:01:59,411
Six, seven...
28
00:01:59,495 --> 00:02:01,247
[instructor] Keep breathing.
Janey, you're not breathing.
29
00:02:01,330 --> 00:02:02,540
Ooh, look good, Eve.
30
00:02:02,623 --> 00:02:03,833
You feel it in your neck, though?
31
00:02:03,916 --> 00:02:05,668
-There, too, Wayne.
-[laughs]
32
00:02:05,751 --> 00:02:06,794
Left down, Nancy.
33
00:02:06,877 --> 00:02:07,878
-Huh?
-Left down.
34
00:02:07,962 --> 00:02:09,463
-Oh, Wayne?
-Yeah.
35
00:02:09,547 --> 00:02:11,173
I'd like to book you
for a private session.
36
00:02:11,257 --> 00:02:12,758
After class, I'll check my calendar.
37
00:02:12,842 --> 00:02:14,718
Looking good. Step with the toes, Betty.
38
00:02:14,802 --> 00:02:17,096
Back. Good girl.
39
00:02:17,179 --> 00:02:18,347
Lil, look at you.
40
00:02:18,430 --> 00:02:19,765
What, didn't I see you
41
00:02:19,849 --> 00:02:22,017
in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue?
42
00:02:22,101 --> 00:02:25,020
You keep it up,
next year you'll be on the cover.
43
00:02:25,104 --> 00:02:26,856
What a gorgeous body.
44
00:02:26,939 --> 00:02:28,274
That is you, Cher, isn't it?
45
00:02:28,357 --> 00:02:31,110
You sweet-talking devil, you.
46
00:02:31,193 --> 00:02:33,153
How Sonny ever left you
I'll never understand.
47
00:02:33,237 --> 00:02:35,364
Neither do I, honey, neither do I.
48
00:02:35,447 --> 00:02:38,450
Okay, ladies, time's up. Time's up.
49
00:02:38,534 --> 00:02:40,286
Terrific morning. Keep it up.
50
00:02:40,369 --> 00:02:44,623
You are doing wonderfully.
51
00:02:44,707 --> 00:02:47,543
-What a slave driver.
-You love it.
52
00:02:47,626 --> 00:02:50,713
Don't we all?
53
00:02:50,796 --> 00:02:52,548
Oh, Eve, I'm ready for an orange juice.
54
00:02:52,631 --> 00:02:54,258
-How about you?
-Oh, no, can't Renee.
55
00:02:54,341 --> 00:02:56,010
I've got to run.
I've got a prospective buyer
56
00:02:56,093 --> 00:02:58,304
coming up from Boston to look
at the old Sullivan farm.
57
00:02:58,387 --> 00:03:00,306
Are you still stuck with that eyesore?
58
00:03:00,389 --> 00:03:02,850
Believe it. At night,
not even the Sullivan's cows
59
00:03:02,933 --> 00:03:04,476
want to come home.
60
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,228
The tension's all up here, Eve.
61
00:03:06,312 --> 00:03:07,813
It's from all those hours you spend
62
00:03:07,897 --> 00:03:08,898
on the phone at the office.
63
00:03:08,981 --> 00:03:10,608
You get yourself a speaker phone,
64
00:03:10,691 --> 00:03:12,651
-and while you're on it--
-I know, I know.
65
00:03:12,735 --> 00:03:16,155
I order your $800,
custom-designed Exercycle
66
00:03:16,238 --> 00:03:17,656
and ride while I work.
67
00:03:17,740 --> 00:03:20,618
You see? The product sells itself.
68
00:03:20,701 --> 00:03:23,871
Eve, no matter what the cost,
69
00:03:23,954 --> 00:03:25,789
I want a perfect body.
70
00:03:25,873 --> 00:03:28,208
Whose? Yours or his?
71
00:03:28,292 --> 00:03:29,960
[laughs]
72
00:03:37,009 --> 00:03:38,844
This ad of yours in the Boston Globe
73
00:03:38,928 --> 00:03:41,138
certainly piqued my curiosity.
74
00:03:41,221 --> 00:03:43,140
-I hope I'm not too late.
-Late?
75
00:03:43,223 --> 00:03:47,811
Oh, no, Mr. Keppard, but,
well, to be quite truthful,
76
00:03:47,895 --> 00:03:50,689
there's quite a bit of interest
in the old Sullivan farm,
77
00:03:50,773 --> 00:03:52,316
what with so many city people
78
00:03:52,399 --> 00:03:53,776
hearing the call of mother nature.
79
00:03:53,859 --> 00:03:56,528
Oh, I heard the call all right.
80
00:03:56,612 --> 00:03:59,531
And it's Fred, Freddie to my friends.
81
00:03:59,615 --> 00:04:01,075
Well, Fred...
82
00:04:01,158 --> 00:04:02,576
Freddie...
83
00:04:02,660 --> 00:04:05,996
about this $600,000 price tag...
84
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:07,623
Look, if it lives up to its description,
85
00:04:07,706 --> 00:04:11,669
$600,000 seems definitely fair.
86
00:04:11,752 --> 00:04:15,047
Right, fair. Absolutely.
87
00:04:15,130 --> 00:04:19,259
-Do you plan to keep it a dairy farm?
-Yes, I do,
88
00:04:19,885 --> 00:04:21,887
but I don't plan to do the milking.
89
00:04:21,971 --> 00:04:25,516
[laughter] Well, of course not.
90
00:04:27,226 --> 00:04:29,269
Well, it's about a 40-minute drive, so...
91
00:04:29,353 --> 00:04:31,605
So let's go. The sooner, the better.
92
00:04:31,689 --> 00:04:34,233
I want those cows to give milk,
not cottage cheese.
93
00:04:34,316 --> 00:04:37,403
[laughter]
94
00:04:45,536 --> 00:04:47,746
My daughter is off in college.
95
00:04:47,830 --> 00:04:50,916
My wife...my wife passed away
two years ago.
96
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,085
-Ah.
-I don't think rattling around
97
00:04:53,168 --> 00:04:56,422
in that big old house in Boston
is doing me much good.
98
00:04:56,505 --> 00:04:58,757
Besides, I've got to do
something with my money.
99
00:04:58,841 --> 00:05:01,468
Real estate has always been a
rock-bottom investment for me.
100
00:05:01,552 --> 00:05:03,929
Absolutement.
101
00:05:04,013 --> 00:05:07,391
Oh, my! Yours?
102
00:05:07,474 --> 00:05:09,560
Now, since you know the way and I don't,
103
00:05:09,643 --> 00:05:12,146
it's yours for now, Eve.
104
00:05:12,229 --> 00:05:15,566
Oh, it is Eve, isn't it?
105
00:05:15,649 --> 00:05:18,694
Oh, yes, Eve is fine.
106
00:05:18,777 --> 00:05:20,571
Evie to my friends.
107
00:05:24,033 --> 00:05:26,201
You know, Jessica,
since I started the Wayne workout
108
00:05:26,285 --> 00:05:28,495
three months ago, I've never felt better.
109
00:05:28,579 --> 00:05:31,040
One of these days,
I'm gonna have to meet this miracle man.
110
00:05:31,123 --> 00:05:32,458
You know, the ladies at the beauty parlor
111
00:05:32,541 --> 00:05:35,085
can hardly talk about anything else.
112
00:05:35,169 --> 00:05:37,046
Uh, could we pull over
for a moment or two?
113
00:05:37,129 --> 00:05:38,589
Oh, you can't be tired already.
114
00:05:38,672 --> 00:05:40,591
Well, not me.
115
00:05:43,052 --> 00:05:45,387
Hope you don't mind if we have
a little pit stop, Ben,
116
00:05:45,471 --> 00:05:46,972
but my legs are giving out.
117
00:05:47,056 --> 00:05:48,307
Well, I was just getting warmed up,
118
00:05:48,390 --> 00:05:50,601
but anything to oblige a lady.
119
00:05:50,684 --> 00:05:52,352
Nancy was just telling me
120
00:05:52,436 --> 00:05:55,189
that Wayne Bennett seems to be
revolutionizing
121
00:05:55,272 --> 00:05:56,815
Cabot Cove's health habits.
122
00:05:56,899 --> 00:05:59,693
Well, the female half, anyway.
123
00:05:59,777 --> 00:06:03,530
Yes. We've noticed
that his gym hasn't caught on
124
00:06:03,614 --> 00:06:06,241
with the chauvinist population.
125
00:06:06,325 --> 00:06:08,202
Give me a brisk walk or a bike ride
126
00:06:08,285 --> 00:06:09,995
in the country anytime.
127
00:06:10,079 --> 00:06:11,580
You know, Ben,
if you're embarrassed about exercising
128
00:06:11,663 --> 00:06:13,248
with a bunch of women, Wayne does give
129
00:06:13,332 --> 00:06:14,500
private workouts in the home.
130
00:06:14,583 --> 00:06:17,753
Not with me, he doesn't.
131
00:06:17,836 --> 00:06:19,588
So, Nancy, what does your husband
132
00:06:19,671 --> 00:06:21,507
think about the new you?
133
00:06:21,590 --> 00:06:23,425
You know Clarence, after 20 years,
134
00:06:23,509 --> 00:06:25,219
he finally got used to the old me.
135
00:06:25,302 --> 00:06:26,303
[laughter]
136
00:06:26,386 --> 00:06:29,014
[horn honking]
137
00:06:32,226 --> 00:06:33,560
Wasn't that Eve Simpson?
138
00:06:33,644 --> 00:06:35,104
I wonder where she got that new car.
139
00:06:35,187 --> 00:06:36,563
Never mind the car.
140
00:06:36,647 --> 00:06:38,107
What about the guy sitting next to her?
141
00:06:38,190 --> 00:06:41,443
Well, if I know Eve,
we'll hear all about it.
142
00:06:41,527 --> 00:06:43,570
So when Mr. Keppard said he was interested
143
00:06:43,654 --> 00:06:45,322
in settling down, I took him right out
144
00:06:45,405 --> 00:06:46,573
to the old Sullivan place.
145
00:06:46,657 --> 00:06:48,117
He's a man of impeccable taste.
146
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:49,618
He knows just what he wants.
147
00:06:49,701 --> 00:06:52,079
I've got his deposit check in my pocket.
148
00:06:52,162 --> 00:06:55,457
-Eve, that's wonderful.
-Freddie definitely is.
149
00:06:55,541 --> 00:06:57,251
Oh, business and pleasure?
150
00:06:57,334 --> 00:06:58,752
Oh, you've got to meet him, Jessica.
151
00:06:58,836 --> 00:07:00,963
We're talking charm, we're talking single
152
00:07:01,046 --> 00:07:03,674
we're talking Gentleman farmer
with a capital "G".
153
00:07:03,757 --> 00:07:05,759
Well, we're not talking,
154
00:07:05,843 --> 00:07:07,594
but you're gushing like a schoolgirl.
155
00:07:07,678 --> 00:07:10,889
Who, moi? [laughter]
156
00:07:10,973 --> 00:07:12,850
Oh, goodness. Thank you, Clarence.
157
00:07:12,933 --> 00:07:15,477
Thank you. Good morning, Jessica, Eve.
158
00:07:15,561 --> 00:07:17,146
-Good morning, Clarence.
-Good morning.
159
00:07:17,229 --> 00:07:19,231
I'll have that back for you late tomorrow.
160
00:07:19,314 --> 00:07:21,108
Oh, thank you. Morning, Nancy.
161
00:07:21,191 --> 00:07:22,568
-Jessica.
-There you are.
162
00:07:25,404 --> 00:07:28,907
Hi, Wayne. See you in class tomorrow.
163
00:07:34,037 --> 00:07:35,414
Wayne.
164
00:07:35,497 --> 00:07:38,500
Wayne, you've got
to meet Jessica Fletcher.
165
00:07:38,584 --> 00:07:40,210
I've seen you around town, Mrs. Fletcher.
166
00:07:40,294 --> 00:07:41,587
It's a pleasure.
167
00:07:41,670 --> 00:07:43,130
Well, it's very nice to meet you.
168
00:07:43,213 --> 00:07:45,174
Well, actually,
we're not exactly strangers.
169
00:07:45,257 --> 00:07:46,550
You were in my bedroom just last night.
170
00:07:48,385 --> 00:07:49,887
Was I?
171
00:07:49,970 --> 00:07:51,054
I've got your one of your books on tape.
172
00:07:51,138 --> 00:07:52,598
I listen to it on my Exercycle.
173
00:07:52,681 --> 00:07:53,891
[laughter]
174
00:07:53,974 --> 00:07:55,893
By the time your killer confessed,
175
00:07:55,976 --> 00:07:58,020
I'd pedaled halfway to Portland.
176
00:07:58,103 --> 00:08:00,564
Oh, Jessica, why don't you try a session
177
00:08:00,647 --> 00:08:01,857
down at Wayne's with me?
178
00:08:01,940 --> 00:08:03,567
He's got a stress-reduction program
179
00:08:03,650 --> 00:08:05,444
designed for working women like us.
180
00:08:05,527 --> 00:08:06,904
Well, thank you, Eve,
181
00:08:06,987 --> 00:08:09,114
but I take out my stress
on my rose bushes.
182
00:08:09,198 --> 00:08:10,991
Oh, by the by, Wayne,
183
00:08:11,074 --> 00:08:13,285
do you happen to have an hour tonight?
184
00:08:13,368 --> 00:08:15,537
I really need a private.
185
00:08:15,621 --> 00:08:18,999
Well, I could do you around 9:00.
186
00:08:19,082 --> 00:08:21,376
Nine at my place it is.
187
00:08:24,296 --> 00:08:27,591
Excuse me, ladies.
188
00:08:27,674 --> 00:08:29,676
Kind of takes your breath away.
189
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,595
A few moments ago, your breath
190
00:08:31,678 --> 00:08:33,555
was taken away by Mr. Keppard.
191
00:08:33,639 --> 00:08:36,516
Oh, yes, well, Freddie,
of course, he's more my age,
192
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,936
he's witty, and intellectually,
we're simpatico.
193
00:08:39,019 --> 00:08:43,482
-Well, then, what's Wayne?
-Oh, Wayne's all hormones.
194
00:08:50,572 --> 00:08:52,491
-Hello, Wayne.
-Hi.
195
00:08:52,574 --> 00:08:55,327
We've got some imported
aftershave on special.
196
00:08:55,410 --> 00:08:57,537
Uh, Nancy,
197
00:08:57,621 --> 00:08:59,748
want to open that case of dental floss?
198
00:09:02,501 --> 00:09:03,794
Can I help you, Mr. Bennett?
199
00:09:03,877 --> 00:09:04,878
Well, you sure can, Mr. La Rue.
200
00:09:04,962 --> 00:09:06,213
I'd like you folks to carry
201
00:09:06,296 --> 00:09:08,131
my new line of health cocktails.
202
00:09:08,215 --> 00:09:11,134
I'll supply the display stand,
and the first case is free.
203
00:09:12,844 --> 00:09:14,638
Look, Joe, it's Wayne Bennett.
204
00:09:14,721 --> 00:09:16,223
Oh, it's Wayne Bennett.
205
00:09:16,306 --> 00:09:19,601
Geez, Lil, it ain't Elvis
come back from the grave.
206
00:09:19,685 --> 00:09:22,437
Oh, Clarence, those juices
are just wonderful.
207
00:09:22,521 --> 00:09:23,689
I drink three a day.
208
00:09:23,772 --> 00:09:25,357
And I have more energy than ever.
209
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,401
Then how come the house
is always a mess, huh?
210
00:09:27,484 --> 00:09:29,152
I mean, for his workouts,
you've got energy,
211
00:09:29,236 --> 00:09:30,529
for me, you got a dead battery.
212
00:09:30,612 --> 00:09:31,738
'Cause I happen to work nights, Joe,
213
00:09:31,822 --> 00:09:33,198
or maybe you forgot.
214
00:09:33,282 --> 00:09:34,283
Anytime you want to hire a housekeeper,
215
00:09:34,366 --> 00:09:36,493
-be my guest!
-Folks, would you mind?
216
00:09:36,576 --> 00:09:38,036
Yeah, you're a real charmer, Bennett.
217
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:39,496
Yesterday, you soaked my wife
218
00:09:39,579 --> 00:09:41,540
for a $99 custom-made showerhead,
219
00:09:41,623 --> 00:09:43,709
guaranteed to spray her with vitality.
220
00:09:43,792 --> 00:09:45,877
Well, I'm the only one gonna spray my wife
with vitality.
221
00:09:45,961 --> 00:09:47,212
Look, I don't want any trouble.
222
00:09:47,296 --> 00:09:49,047
Yeah, good. Just go.
223
00:09:49,131 --> 00:09:50,507
And just take your little
dog-and-pony show out of town,
224
00:09:50,590 --> 00:09:51,758
out of state, you know?
225
00:09:51,842 --> 00:09:53,468
-Joe!
-Ungh!
226
00:09:53,552 --> 00:09:55,887
Joe, stop it! Stop that!
227
00:09:55,971 --> 00:09:58,598
Joe! Just cut that out!
228
00:09:58,682 --> 00:10:03,061
Agh! You're breaking my arm.
229
00:10:03,145 --> 00:10:04,354
I told you not to pick a fight.
230
00:10:04,438 --> 00:10:06,106
Didn't I tell you that?
231
00:10:09,067 --> 00:10:10,736
First time I saw that Bennett,
232
00:10:10,819 --> 00:10:12,821
I knew he was nothing but trouble.
233
00:10:22,456 --> 00:10:24,583
[sighs] Well, that's just wonderful.
234
00:10:24,666 --> 00:10:25,917
Oh, well, what is it, Eve?
235
00:10:26,001 --> 00:10:27,544
I have to go to Rockport this evening.
236
00:10:27,627 --> 00:10:29,338
One of my escrows
is about to fall through,
237
00:10:29,421 --> 00:10:31,214
and tonight of all nights.
238
00:10:31,298 --> 00:10:34,343
I had to cancel my... massage with Wayne.
239
00:10:34,426 --> 00:10:36,303
He was very disappointed.
240
00:10:36,386 --> 00:10:38,472
Oh, I imagine he was.
241
00:10:38,555 --> 00:10:41,099
Eve?
242
00:10:41,183 --> 00:10:42,809
Freddie.
243
00:10:42,893 --> 00:10:46,104
Say hello to my friend, Jessica Fletcher.
244
00:10:46,188 --> 00:10:48,148
I'm charmed, Mrs. Fletcher.
245
00:10:48,231 --> 00:10:49,858
I've heard so much about you,
246
00:10:49,941 --> 00:10:52,194
and I'm delighted to meet
Eve's closest friend.
247
00:10:52,277 --> 00:10:55,197
Well, I've heard raves
about you, too, Mr. Keppard.
248
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,157
Please, it's Freddie.
249
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,994
Freddie.
250
00:11:01,078 --> 00:11:02,954
Eve, I stopped by your office.
251
00:11:03,038 --> 00:11:06,375
I'd like to talk to you
as soon as possible.
252
00:11:06,458 --> 00:11:07,834
Well, how about now?
253
00:11:07,918 --> 00:11:09,836
We're finished, aren't we, Jessica?
254
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,048
Oh, yes. Yes, of course.
255
00:11:13,131 --> 00:11:16,510
I've got a pile of work waiting for me
at home.
256
00:11:16,593 --> 00:11:18,804
Well, it was so nice meeting you, Freddie.
257
00:11:18,887 --> 00:11:22,099
-And I you, Mrs. Fletcher.
-Thank you.
258
00:11:22,182 --> 00:11:24,184
Oh, I'll take care
of the lunch check, Jessica.
259
00:11:24,267 --> 00:11:25,811
Oh, thank you, Eve.
260
00:11:25,894 --> 00:11:30,399
-Bye.
-Bye-bye.
261
00:11:30,482 --> 00:11:32,859
Eve...
262
00:11:32,943 --> 00:11:37,656
I don't know quite how to say this,
263
00:11:37,739 --> 00:11:41,076
but have you cashed
that $10,000 deposit check?
264
00:11:41,576 --> 00:11:43,954
Oh, you haven't changed your mind,
have you?
265
00:11:44,037 --> 00:11:46,873
Well, not willingly.
266
00:11:46,957 --> 00:11:48,708
Look, I hate to let you down...
267
00:11:48,792 --> 00:11:50,293
Let me down?
268
00:11:50,377 --> 00:11:52,337
You said that you wanted to retire.
269
00:11:52,421 --> 00:11:53,797
-I thought--
-Well, let's just say
270
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,883
that my cash flow flowed out, not in.
271
00:11:56,967 --> 00:12:00,095
Freddie, what's going on?
272
00:12:00,178 --> 00:12:01,263
The truth?
273
00:12:03,598 --> 00:12:05,684
I'm not a farmer, Eve.
274
00:12:05,767 --> 00:12:07,811
The fact is I'm just a man
looking for a quick million.
275
00:12:09,312 --> 00:12:11,231
Oh, really?
276
00:12:11,314 --> 00:12:13,984
Well, a man after my own heart
277
00:12:14,067 --> 00:12:15,569
in more ways than one.
278
00:12:17,112 --> 00:12:19,906
I have an in with a congressman downstate.
279
00:12:21,283 --> 00:12:22,868
This is very confidential.
280
00:12:23,869 --> 00:12:25,871
A regional shopping center may be going up
281
00:12:25,954 --> 00:12:27,539
alongside the Sullivan farm.
282
00:12:28,165 --> 00:12:29,958
Now, the Highway Commission
is gonna need that acreage
283
00:12:30,041 --> 00:12:31,418
as access roads,
284
00:12:31,501 --> 00:12:33,753
connecting the center to the thruway.
285
00:12:34,254 --> 00:12:38,467
In a year, that farm
could be worth millions.
286
00:12:38,550 --> 00:12:39,926
Exactly.
287
00:12:41,011 --> 00:12:43,763
My problem is, I got all my cash tied up
288
00:12:44,139 --> 00:12:46,016
in an offshore Canadian oil venture.
289
00:12:46,099 --> 00:12:47,017
Wait a minute, Freddie.
290
00:12:48,143 --> 00:12:49,603
I have clients.
291
00:12:49,686 --> 00:12:51,354
I have resources.
292
00:12:51,438 --> 00:12:52,564
I have some money.
293
00:12:52,647 --> 00:12:54,274
There's nothing to prevent
294
00:12:54,357 --> 00:12:58,111
you and I from pulling this off together.
295
00:12:58,195 --> 00:13:01,781
No, no, I wouldn't let you take the risk.
296
00:13:01,865 --> 00:13:04,117
Well, you said yourself
it was a sure thing.
297
00:13:04,201 --> 00:13:07,245
Tonight, I will bring home
some clients' portfolios.
298
00:13:07,329 --> 00:13:09,206
And after I get back from Rockport,
299
00:13:09,289 --> 00:13:11,500
I'll see who might be in a position
300
00:13:11,583 --> 00:13:15,462
to invest in our
hot investment opportunity.
301
00:13:29,309 --> 00:13:32,812
-Wayne, we'll see you.
-Night, Wayne.
302
00:13:32,896 --> 00:13:34,314
-Bye-bye.
-Good work, you guys.
303
00:13:34,397 --> 00:13:36,441
-Bye. Take care, Karen.
-Bye-bye. See you.
304
00:13:36,525 --> 00:13:39,653
-Drive safe.
-Take care.
305
00:13:39,736 --> 00:13:42,239
Nice operation, Wayne.
306
00:13:42,322 --> 00:13:43,573
Fred?
307
00:13:47,744 --> 00:13:49,162
Looks like a license to print money.
308
00:13:49,788 --> 00:13:50,705
What are you doing here?
309
00:13:50,789 --> 00:13:53,166
Heard you struck it rich.
310
00:13:53,250 --> 00:13:55,752
A coach likes to keep track
of his star players.
311
00:13:57,963 --> 00:13:59,506
Yeah, I kind of like
this new game of yours,
312
00:13:59,589 --> 00:14:01,007
almost smells legit.
313
00:14:03,468 --> 00:14:05,178
It is.
314
00:14:05,262 --> 00:14:08,390
Hey, old buddy, it's me.
It's me you're talking to.
315
00:14:09,599 --> 00:14:10,892
You got yourself in tight
316
00:14:10,976 --> 00:14:12,602
with all the ladies in this town,
317
00:14:12,686 --> 00:14:14,437
like always.
318
00:14:14,521 --> 00:14:16,231
Well, that's okay if you're
into nickel-and-dime stuff.
319
00:14:16,314 --> 00:14:18,775
But, I got a better way to cash in,
320
00:14:18,858 --> 00:14:21,152
our old standby, real estate.
321
00:14:21,236 --> 00:14:23,113
Not interested.
322
00:14:23,196 --> 00:14:25,031
Oh, come on, Wayne.
323
00:14:25,115 --> 00:14:28,243
Don't force me to call your local sheriff.
324
00:14:28,326 --> 00:14:29,452
Wouldn't be good for business.
325
00:14:30,078 --> 00:14:31,204
For either of us.
326
00:14:31,288 --> 00:14:32,789
You threatening me?
327
00:14:37,669 --> 00:14:38,795
Kid, what you know,
328
00:14:38,878 --> 00:14:41,256
I taught you...
329
00:14:41,339 --> 00:14:42,716
and don't you ever forget it.
330
00:14:47,137 --> 00:14:48,680
We'll chat again, kid.
331
00:14:51,766 --> 00:14:53,810
Count on it.
332
00:14:53,893 --> 00:14:56,938
[clicks tongue]
333
00:14:57,022 --> 00:14:58,898
[laughs]
334
00:15:52,202 --> 00:15:54,079
-Freeze!
-Don't shoot.
335
00:15:56,206 --> 00:15:58,041
Joe.
336
00:15:59,542 --> 00:16:00,543
What the hell you doing here?
337
00:16:22,607 --> 00:16:24,609
Dah-dee-dah-dum.
338
00:16:28,780 --> 00:16:31,157
Mr. Keppard's room, please.
339
00:16:38,373 --> 00:16:39,749
But he's expecting my call.
340
00:16:39,833 --> 00:16:42,168
Would you try the room again, please?
341
00:16:45,797 --> 00:16:48,591
[gasps]
342
00:16:48,675 --> 00:16:50,427
[screams]
343
00:16:53,012 --> 00:16:54,264
[operator] Hello, ma'am? I'm sorry.
344
00:16:54,347 --> 00:16:57,142
Mr. Keppard doesn't seem to be answering.
345
00:17:05,692 --> 00:17:07,986
You say you got back around ten o'clock?
346
00:17:08,069 --> 00:17:10,780
Yes, just about.
I don't, maybe a little after.
347
00:17:10,864 --> 00:17:13,032
Eve, I came as soon as I heard.
348
00:17:13,116 --> 00:17:16,619
Oh, God, Jess. Somebody shot him.
349
00:17:16,703 --> 00:17:18,580
Freddie, he's dead.
350
00:17:18,663 --> 00:17:21,040
-Eve, I'm so sorry.
-Miss Simpson.
351
00:17:21,124 --> 00:17:23,042
You said you found
your front door was still locked.
352
00:17:23,418 --> 00:17:25,545
You got any idea how
the victim might have got in?
353
00:17:25,628 --> 00:17:27,130
No. I only met him yesterday.
354
00:17:27,213 --> 00:17:29,007
I mean, he didn't have a key.
355
00:17:29,090 --> 00:17:31,384
Oh, sheriff, there was nothing between us,
356
00:17:31,468 --> 00:17:32,802
nothing like that.
357
00:17:32,886 --> 00:17:34,888
I--we were business partners.
358
00:17:34,971 --> 00:17:36,806
And I haven't the faintest idea
359
00:17:36,890 --> 00:17:38,892
what he was doing here.
360
00:17:38,975 --> 00:17:40,185
While I was trying
to reach him at his motel,
361
00:17:40,268 --> 00:17:43,313
I noticed my papers were all messed up.
362
00:17:43,396 --> 00:17:45,106
Well, whoever shot him was obviously
363
00:17:45,190 --> 00:17:46,649
rummaging looking for something.
364
00:17:46,733 --> 00:17:48,276
Is anything missing?
365
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:52,447
Oh, well, my jewelry's still here.
366
00:17:53,072 --> 00:17:54,157
Well, then, we're not dealing
with a thief,
367
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:55,116
at least not a jewel thief.
368
00:17:55,492 --> 00:17:58,536
-Uh, sheriff?
-Floyd, listen.
369
00:17:58,620 --> 00:18:00,079
I want you to check that all out
370
00:18:00,163 --> 00:18:01,956
-for fingerprints, all right?
-Uh, yeah.
371
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,709
And look. Look for footprints
outside in the flowerbed.
372
00:18:04,793 --> 00:18:06,669
All right.
373
00:18:06,753 --> 00:18:10,089
Miss Simpson, the way it looks to me,
374
00:18:10,173 --> 00:18:11,966
the killer found the window open,
375
00:18:12,050 --> 00:18:14,177
climbed in, maybe to rob the place,
376
00:18:14,260 --> 00:18:15,512
and all of a sudden,
377
00:18:15,595 --> 00:18:17,013
he's surprised by your boyfriend.
378
00:18:17,096 --> 00:18:19,557
I told you, he wasn't my boyfriend.
379
00:18:19,641 --> 00:18:22,811
Eve, assuming that Fred
surprised the intruder,
380
00:18:22,894 --> 00:18:25,021
what was he doing here in the first place,
381
00:18:25,104 --> 00:18:28,358
and did he also climb in
through the window?
382
00:18:28,441 --> 00:18:30,193
Uh, sheriff?
383
00:18:30,276 --> 00:18:31,778
Uh, from the amount of blood
and the size of the wounds,
384
00:18:32,153 --> 00:18:33,363
the weapon must have been a shotgun,
385
00:18:34,072 --> 00:18:36,491
fired from, say, ten, 15 feet away.
386
00:18:36,866 --> 00:18:38,993
Well, that accounts
for some of those folks outside
387
00:18:39,077 --> 00:18:41,871
thinking they heard
a car backfire around 9:15.
388
00:18:42,121 --> 00:18:43,331
Thanks, Charlie.
389
00:18:43,414 --> 00:18:45,041
Tell the coroner I need a report ASAP.
390
00:18:45,124 --> 00:18:46,251
Okay.
391
00:18:46,334 --> 00:18:48,878
Eve, you're coming to my house
for a few days.
392
00:18:48,962 --> 00:18:50,672
-Get some things.
-Oh, no, I couldn't.
393
00:18:50,755 --> 00:18:52,423
No, I absolutely insist.
394
00:18:52,507 --> 00:18:54,217
Look, the sheriff is gonna be
sealing off the house.
395
00:18:54,300 --> 00:18:56,845
You may not want to come back here
for a few days.
396
00:18:58,763 --> 00:19:00,723
Thanks, Jessica.
397
00:19:06,354 --> 00:19:09,774
[Eve] I just can't figure out
how Fred got in, or why.
398
00:19:09,858 --> 00:19:11,609
If it was about business,
he could have simply asked
399
00:19:11,693 --> 00:19:13,611
to see the portfolios I'd brought home.
400
00:19:13,695 --> 00:19:14,737
Yeah.
401
00:19:16,948 --> 00:19:19,117
What about that check that you mentioned,
402
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:20,618
the binder on the Sullivan farm?
403
00:19:20,994 --> 00:19:23,496
I mean, would he have come
to retrieve that?
404
00:19:23,580 --> 00:19:25,832
No. No. I told him I wouldn't cash it,
405
00:19:25,915 --> 00:19:28,209
even if I'd wanted to, which I couldn't,
406
00:19:28,293 --> 00:19:31,129
because he was temporarily short of funds.
407
00:19:31,212 --> 00:19:34,549
Did he know that you were
in Rockport tonight?
408
00:19:34,632 --> 00:19:36,801
Yes, I'd mentioned it.
Why? What does that prove?
409
00:19:37,176 --> 00:19:39,888
Well, only that he didn't just drop by.
410
00:19:39,971 --> 00:19:42,390
He knew that you weren't
going to be there.
411
00:19:42,473 --> 00:19:43,433
[knocking on door]
412
00:19:43,516 --> 00:19:45,018
Excuse me.
413
00:19:49,564 --> 00:19:50,648
Oh, Sheriff Metzger.
414
00:19:50,732 --> 00:19:52,066
Mrs. Fletcher. Thank you.
415
00:19:52,150 --> 00:19:53,943
-Please, have a seat.
-Thank you.
416
00:19:54,027 --> 00:19:56,529
-Would you like some coffee?
-Uh, no, thanks anyway.
417
00:19:56,613 --> 00:19:59,574
Miss Simpson, we found Fred Keppard's car
418
00:19:59,657 --> 00:20:01,034
parked three blocks away from your house.
419
00:20:01,409 --> 00:20:03,536
Now, it looks to me
like he didn't want to be seen
420
00:20:03,912 --> 00:20:04,996
Pulling up to your front door.
421
00:20:05,079 --> 00:20:07,206
-Why not?
-You tell me.
422
00:20:08,875 --> 00:20:11,294
Fred wouldn't have been up to anything
in my bedroom,
423
00:20:11,377 --> 00:20:13,922
at least not without me.
424
00:20:14,005 --> 00:20:16,257
Well, after all, sheriff,
the man was a widower.
425
00:20:16,341 --> 00:20:17,800
A widower, huh?
426
00:20:17,884 --> 00:20:19,719
That explains why we're having trouble
notifying his next of kin.
427
00:20:19,802 --> 00:20:23,181
Oh, he told me he had a daughter.
428
00:20:23,264 --> 00:20:24,140
She goes to college.
429
00:20:24,515 --> 00:20:26,100
Oh, which one, Eve?
430
00:20:26,184 --> 00:20:27,352
Oh...
431
00:20:27,435 --> 00:20:28,895
Fred didn't exactly say.
432
00:20:29,270 --> 00:20:31,022
What's the daughter's name?
433
00:20:31,314 --> 00:20:34,859
Um...oh, I'm not exactly sure
he told me that, either.
434
00:20:36,694 --> 00:20:37,987
He didn't tell anybody much of anything.
435
00:20:38,363 --> 00:20:39,822
It's kind of funny, don't you think?
436
00:20:40,198 --> 00:20:41,741
Man pops up out of nowhere,
437
00:20:41,824 --> 00:20:44,661
no family, no friends,
no job, no home address,
438
00:20:45,036 --> 00:20:46,329
rented car.
439
00:20:46,412 --> 00:20:48,665
Oh, please, sheriff. Big entrepreneurs
440
00:20:48,748 --> 00:20:50,875
always lease their cars for tax purposes.
441
00:20:50,959 --> 00:20:52,502
Oh, yeah?
442
00:20:52,585 --> 00:20:55,296
Are those entre-whatzits always
three months behind in their car payments?
443
00:20:55,672 --> 00:21:00,134
[phone ringing]
444
00:21:00,218 --> 00:21:01,469
Hello?
445
00:21:01,552 --> 00:21:03,221
Oh, yes. Sheriff, it's for you.
446
00:21:03,304 --> 00:21:06,182
Ah, thank you.
447
00:21:06,265 --> 00:21:08,643
Metzger.
448
00:21:08,726 --> 00:21:09,727
Oh, he did, huh?
449
00:21:09,811 --> 00:21:11,646
No kidding?
450
00:21:11,729 --> 00:21:13,815
Yeah, what was that again?
451
00:21:13,898 --> 00:21:16,401
Are you sure about that?
452
00:21:16,484 --> 00:21:20,655
Okay. Okay.
453
00:21:20,738 --> 00:21:23,908
Yep. Okay, listen.
454
00:21:23,992 --> 00:21:25,618
Let me know
if you hear anything else, will you?
455
00:21:25,702 --> 00:21:27,745
Yeah, take it easy.
456
00:21:27,829 --> 00:21:29,205
Miss Simpson.
457
00:21:35,211 --> 00:21:37,046
Miss Simpson.
458
00:21:37,130 --> 00:21:39,090
-This guy, Keppard...
-Yes?
459
00:21:39,173 --> 00:21:41,551
Did he ever mention to you
any of his other names,
460
00:21:41,634 --> 00:21:45,763
like Fred Halberg, alias Dr. Fred Halberg,
461
00:21:45,847 --> 00:21:48,391
Frank Horton and Fritz Hansen?
462
00:21:48,474 --> 00:21:50,601
Guy's got a rap sheet as long as your arm.
463
00:21:50,685 --> 00:21:54,105
And he served a sentence
in Joliet prison for Bunco.
464
00:21:54,188 --> 00:21:55,690
Bunco?
465
00:21:55,773 --> 00:21:58,192
Fraud, flim-flam.
466
00:21:58,276 --> 00:22:00,278
The guy was a con man, Miss Simpson.
467
00:22:00,361 --> 00:22:01,779
No.
468
00:22:01,863 --> 00:22:06,451
No, he wouldn't have. He couldn't have.
469
00:22:06,534 --> 00:22:10,288
-He wouldn't have what, Eve?
-Oh, God!
470
00:22:10,371 --> 00:22:12,540
Was I ever a prize chump?
471
00:22:12,623 --> 00:22:14,459
He was searching through my files
472
00:22:14,542 --> 00:22:16,919
looking for new clients to swindle.
473
00:22:17,003 --> 00:22:18,337
I'm sorry, ma'am, you lost me.
474
00:22:18,421 --> 00:22:19,964
He was trying to get me to invest
475
00:22:20,048 --> 00:22:21,132
in the Sullivan farm.
476
00:22:21,215 --> 00:22:22,133
He said his money was tied up,
477
00:22:22,508 --> 00:22:24,343
but there was information he had
478
00:22:24,427 --> 00:22:26,637
that a shopping center
was going up near the property.
479
00:22:26,721 --> 00:22:29,182
And I offered to help him
find some investors.
480
00:22:29,557 --> 00:22:32,310
-I guess he couldn't wait.
-Well, that fits.
481
00:22:32,393 --> 00:22:34,562
This flim-flam artist goes
poking around her bedroom,
482
00:22:34,645 --> 00:22:35,938
and somebody finds him there.
483
00:22:36,022 --> 00:22:37,732
Sheriff, even assuming
484
00:22:37,815 --> 00:22:40,359
that Mr. Keppard had
no shortage of enemies,
485
00:22:40,443 --> 00:22:42,070
how could any of them have known
486
00:22:42,153 --> 00:22:44,947
that he was at Eve's house
at nine o'clock?
487
00:22:46,491 --> 00:22:49,452
Unless...
488
00:22:49,827 --> 00:22:53,873
Eve, besides Mr. Keppard,
did you tell anyone
489
00:22:53,956 --> 00:22:56,125
that you would be
out of the house at 9:00?
490
00:22:56,209 --> 00:22:58,336
-No one.
-Wayne Bennett knew.
491
00:22:59,545 --> 00:23:01,756
You cancelled your private workout.
492
00:23:01,839 --> 00:23:04,926
-That's right.
-[sheriff] Well, that's two.
493
00:23:05,301 --> 00:23:07,386
If Keppard were still alive,
we could ask him who else.
494
00:23:07,762 --> 00:23:12,642
If Fred were still alive,
I would kill him myself.
495
00:23:15,228 --> 00:23:16,979
Sheriff, just off the top of your head,
496
00:23:17,063 --> 00:23:18,397
how much time do you think I can get
497
00:23:18,481 --> 00:23:19,816
for breaking into that gym, anyway?
498
00:23:19,899 --> 00:23:21,400
Now you ask.
499
00:23:21,484 --> 00:23:23,277
I knew I shouldn't have
gone to work last night.
500
00:23:23,361 --> 00:23:24,904
You had that look on your face.
501
00:23:24,987 --> 00:23:26,155
Sheriff, who's that guy
that got himself killed?
502
00:23:26,531 --> 00:23:28,491
Out-of-town Bunco artist, name of Keppard.
503
00:23:28,866 --> 00:23:31,369
Know him? How should I know him?
504
00:23:32,328 --> 00:23:33,871
I hear he and Eve Simpson
had something going.
505
00:23:34,247 --> 00:23:35,706
I wouldn't know.
506
00:23:35,790 --> 00:23:36,999
Nancy La Rue just happened to mention
507
00:23:37,375 --> 00:23:39,085
she saw him and her driving out of town.
508
00:23:39,168 --> 00:23:42,296
Eve was behind the wheel
of his red Jaguar convertible.
509
00:23:42,380 --> 00:23:44,298
But probably you already know that.
510
00:23:44,674 --> 00:23:46,592
She mentioned it.
511
00:23:48,219 --> 00:23:49,971
I'll let you know
as soon as your lawyer gets here.
512
00:23:50,054 --> 00:23:53,015
Now, wait there a minute, sheriff.
513
00:23:53,099 --> 00:23:54,767
Now, last night, I was almost run down
514
00:23:54,851 --> 00:23:57,061
by a red Jaguar convertible.
515
00:23:57,145 --> 00:23:59,188
I think you probably ought to go talk
to Mr. Wayne Bennett.
516
00:23:59,272 --> 00:24:01,232
Wayne Bennett, huh? Why's that?
517
00:24:01,607 --> 00:24:03,734
'Cause I saw the dead guy
leaving Wayne's workout.
518
00:24:03,818 --> 00:24:06,445
That's why. Now, come to think of it,
519
00:24:06,529 --> 00:24:08,322
we don't know a lot about
this Bennett now, either, do we?
520
00:24:13,870 --> 00:24:17,206
[woman] A private hour with Wayne
at your home is $75.
521
00:24:17,290 --> 00:24:18,916
Tuesday at 8:00? Let me see.
522
00:24:22,253 --> 00:24:24,714
-[Both] Hi, sheriff.
-Want to work out?
523
00:24:24,797 --> 00:24:27,425
[instructor] Very good. And stretch.
Really reach.
524
00:24:27,508 --> 00:24:29,635
Mr. Bennett, can I see you a minute?
525
00:24:29,719 --> 00:24:33,514
Why don't you ladies warm up?
I'll be right in. Okay?
526
00:24:37,476 --> 00:24:39,645
So this is where my wife
keeps in shape, huh?
527
00:24:39,729 --> 00:24:41,397
Adele is doing splendidly, sheriff.
528
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:42,690
She's made a real commitment here.
529
00:24:42,773 --> 00:24:44,025
Yeah, I know.
530
00:24:44,108 --> 00:24:45,568
I just paid her bill from last month.
531
00:24:45,943 --> 00:24:47,445
[laughs] Well, no pain, no gain.
532
00:24:47,528 --> 00:24:48,905
Yeah.
533
00:24:48,988 --> 00:24:50,031
So is there something I can do for you?
534
00:24:50,114 --> 00:24:51,407
Well, I was just driving by,
535
00:24:51,490 --> 00:24:52,950
and I thought I'd save you a trip.
536
00:24:53,034 --> 00:24:53,993
This is the complaint against Joe Hardin.
537
00:24:54,076 --> 00:24:55,703
Want to sign it?
538
00:24:55,786 --> 00:24:57,371
You know, if Joe transferred
some of that temper
539
00:24:57,455 --> 00:24:58,998
into physical exercise,
he'd live a lot longer.
540
00:24:59,081 --> 00:25:01,375
Yeah, well, I'll tell him
you suggested it.
541
00:25:01,459 --> 00:25:03,211
That the stuff my wife drinks?
542
00:25:03,294 --> 00:25:06,756
You ever tried it?
543
00:25:06,839 --> 00:25:08,549
On the house. Got no sugars,
544
00:25:08,633 --> 00:25:10,718
no calories, packed with natural vitamins.
545
00:25:10,801 --> 00:25:12,637
A bottle a day will make you
a new man, sheriff.
546
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,430
Well, thanks. I appreciate that.
547
00:25:14,513 --> 00:25:17,808
I'll just save it for the car, all right?
548
00:25:17,892 --> 00:25:18,935
You have a nice day.
549
00:25:37,662 --> 00:25:42,166
[Ben] I am not a nosy,
inquisitive busybody.
550
00:25:42,250 --> 00:25:45,544
I am a newspaperman
hot on the trail of a story.
551
00:25:45,628 --> 00:25:48,631
And the cold-blooded murder
of a con man in your bedroom
552
00:25:48,714 --> 00:25:50,633
happens to be news, Mrs. Simpson.
553
00:25:50,716 --> 00:25:52,927
You're making it seem
as if Mr. Keppard and I
554
00:25:53,010 --> 00:25:54,845
were having
an affaire d'couer, Mr. Devlin.
555
00:25:55,221 --> 00:25:57,014
I think you've been watching
too much Geraldo.
556
00:25:57,390 --> 00:25:58,808
Well, one of us has. Yes.
557
00:25:59,183 --> 00:26:01,560
All right, you two. Now, that's enough.
558
00:26:01,644 --> 00:26:03,145
Jessica, I have a paper to get out.
559
00:26:03,521 --> 00:26:05,564
This would be a pretty good story
even in St. Louis,
560
00:26:05,648 --> 00:26:07,108
here in Cabot Cove, it is real big news.
561
00:26:07,483 --> 00:26:09,235
Not necessarily, and besides,
562
00:26:09,610 --> 00:26:11,654
everybody in town
already knows what happened.
563
00:26:11,737 --> 00:26:12,947
She may be right, Ben.
564
00:26:13,322 --> 00:26:15,241
You know, the printed page
will never scoop
565
00:26:15,324 --> 00:26:16,492
the beauty parlor hotline.
566
00:26:16,867 --> 00:26:18,703
Well, maybe so, but I'll be hanged
567
00:26:18,786 --> 00:26:21,247
if I'm going to turn the Gazette
into a puff piece
568
00:26:21,622 --> 00:26:23,499
for Mrs. Simpson's real estate handouts.
569
00:26:23,582 --> 00:26:25,835
That's it.
Consider my advertising budget
570
00:26:25,918 --> 00:26:27,211
withdrawn, Mr. Devlin.
571
00:26:27,295 --> 00:26:29,714
Consider it done, Mrs. Simpson.
572
00:26:30,089 --> 00:26:32,967
But I can see that coming here
was a complete waste of time.
573
00:26:33,342 --> 00:26:34,927
Oh, Ben, wait.
574
00:26:35,011 --> 00:26:37,638
If you will excuse me,
I am going to get some coffee.
575
00:26:37,722 --> 00:26:38,848
Eve...
576
00:26:38,931 --> 00:26:40,099
Eve Simpson, in whose bedroom
577
00:26:40,182 --> 00:26:41,517
the victim was discovered,
578
00:26:41,892 --> 00:26:43,811
was asked if she knew him
and how she knew him.
579
00:26:43,894 --> 00:26:46,647
Mrs. Simpson's response was, "No comment."
580
00:26:47,023 --> 00:26:48,774
And you can quote me!
581
00:26:52,486 --> 00:26:54,030
Now, Ben, wait.
582
00:26:54,113 --> 00:26:55,489
I need a lift to La Rue's drugstore
583
00:26:55,573 --> 00:26:56,741
before it closes.
584
00:26:56,824 --> 00:26:58,951
Eve, I'll be back in a few minutes.
585
00:26:59,035 --> 00:27:01,495
Try to come back alone!
586
00:27:03,372 --> 00:27:06,208
Cancel her advertising.
Ha! That's a hot one.
587
00:27:06,292 --> 00:27:07,752
She hasn't paid her bill in three months.
588
00:27:07,835 --> 00:27:09,378
Well, the town's pretty quiet lately.
589
00:27:09,462 --> 00:27:12,089
Quiet? Got to rename this place Catatonia.
590
00:27:12,173 --> 00:27:15,426
I came back for peace
and quiet, not embalming.
591
00:27:16,719 --> 00:27:18,721
Hello? Nancy?
592
00:27:18,804 --> 00:27:20,473
Is anybody here?
593
00:27:21,974 --> 00:27:22,975
Hello, Jessica.
594
00:27:23,976 --> 00:27:25,644
You made it just before closing.
595
00:27:26,020 --> 00:27:28,230
Oh, with a minute to spare.
I came to get my film.
596
00:27:28,314 --> 00:27:29,732
Hello there, Mr. Devlin.
597
00:27:29,815 --> 00:27:31,233
I'll sure be glad to close up.
598
00:27:31,317 --> 00:27:32,860
Been a busy day working shorthanded.
599
00:27:32,943 --> 00:27:34,487
Oh? Where's Nancy?
600
00:27:34,862 --> 00:27:36,822
Drove to Augusta last night--
family emergency.
601
00:27:37,198 --> 00:27:39,575
-Oh, dear.
-Yup, her sister took sick.
602
00:27:39,950 --> 00:27:42,244
And Nancy's helping out with the kids.
603
00:27:42,328 --> 00:27:44,246
I'll put this on your charge.
604
00:27:44,330 --> 00:27:46,707
Thank you. Say hello when she gets back.
605
00:27:46,791 --> 00:27:47,792
-Good night, Clarence.
-Good night.
606
00:27:47,875 --> 00:27:50,127
And Jessica, I'll tell you
what else I think.
607
00:27:50,211 --> 00:27:53,005
Oh, Ben, we all know what you think.
608
00:27:56,550 --> 00:27:58,928
It is not just idle gossip, Betty.
609
00:27:59,011 --> 00:28:01,931
I got it straight from Loretta
down at the beauty parlor.
610
00:28:02,014 --> 00:28:05,142
A man was found shot to death
in Eve's bedroom.
611
00:28:05,226 --> 00:28:06,727
Besides, it made the morning papers.
612
00:28:06,811 --> 00:28:08,229
I don't read the newspapers.
613
00:28:08,312 --> 00:28:09,939
Now, exactly what the man was wearing,
614
00:28:10,022 --> 00:28:10,898
I wouldn't know.
615
00:28:10,981 --> 00:28:14,193
I know, Renee. The look was Ivy League.
616
00:28:14,276 --> 00:28:16,695
But the jury is still out on
whether the suit was paid for.
617
00:28:16,779 --> 00:28:19,490
-Oh, my, my, my--
-Now, listen, Renee!
618
00:28:19,865 --> 00:28:21,325
Okay, girls.
619
00:28:21,409 --> 00:28:23,411
Let's not turn this
into kickboxing, all right?
620
00:28:23,494 --> 00:28:26,747
-Bye.
-How you feeling, Eve?
621
00:28:26,831 --> 00:28:29,166
Oh, not too bad,
except this crick in my neck.
622
00:28:29,250 --> 00:28:32,044
-Oh, you do, huh?
-Oh, oh, right there.
623
00:28:32,128 --> 00:28:34,130
Oh, yeah. Oh, that's great.
624
00:28:34,213 --> 00:28:36,924
-Where's Nancy La Rue today?
-I don't know, and don't stop.
625
00:28:37,007 --> 00:28:40,636
Come on, let's work out those kinks.
626
00:28:40,719 --> 00:28:42,471
All right, ladies, back to work.
627
00:28:42,555 --> 00:28:44,765
Come on. Everybody get moving.
628
00:28:44,849 --> 00:28:46,267
Let's go, come on.
629
00:28:46,350 --> 00:28:48,561
[upbeat music] Okay, come on. Come on.
630
00:28:48,644 --> 00:28:50,688
Pull it up. Pull it up.
Form two lines, and...
631
00:28:50,771 --> 00:28:52,898
toe raises, tuck your tummy.
632
00:28:52,982 --> 00:28:55,818
And on my count, it's one, two,
633
00:28:56,193 --> 00:28:59,196
three, good, four, five,
634
00:28:59,572 --> 00:29:02,199
come on, six, count with me, seven,
635
00:29:02,283 --> 00:29:04,160
eight, nine...
636
00:29:04,535 --> 00:29:05,453
[music stops] ten.
637
00:29:05,536 --> 00:29:06,829
-Sheriff.
-Sorry, ladies.
638
00:29:07,204 --> 00:29:09,915
Class dismissed. What?
639
00:29:09,999 --> 00:29:12,543
Sheriff, if this is about
my complaint to Joe Hardin,
640
00:29:12,626 --> 00:29:13,878
can't it wait until tomorrow?
641
00:29:13,961 --> 00:29:15,087
It isn't, and no, it can't.
642
00:29:15,463 --> 00:29:18,132
Wayne Bennett, alias Wayne Freeman,
643
00:29:18,507 --> 00:29:21,385
I'm arresting you
for the murder of Fred Keppard.
644
00:29:21,469 --> 00:29:22,303
[women gasping]
Hit the showers, ladies.
645
00:29:22,386 --> 00:29:24,722
You have the right to remain silent.
646
00:29:24,805 --> 00:29:27,349
If you give up the right to remain silent,
647
00:29:27,433 --> 00:29:28,642
anything you say can and will be
648
00:29:28,726 --> 00:29:31,020
used against you in a court of law.
649
00:29:31,395 --> 00:29:36,066
[typing]
650
00:29:36,150 --> 00:29:38,360
[phone rings]
651
00:29:42,072 --> 00:29:44,283
-Hello?
-[Eve] Jessica. Oh, thank God!
652
00:29:44,658 --> 00:29:47,495
Sheriff Metzger just arrested
Wayne Bennett for murder.
653
00:29:47,870 --> 00:29:48,996
What?
654
00:29:49,371 --> 00:29:50,456
He pulled him right out of class.
655
00:29:50,539 --> 00:29:51,499
Jessica, this is insane.
656
00:29:51,874 --> 00:29:53,209
Eve, believe me,
657
00:29:53,292 --> 00:29:55,085
Sheriff Metzger would not arrest Wayne
658
00:29:55,169 --> 00:29:56,295
without some kind of evidence.
659
00:29:56,670 --> 00:29:59,131
Like what? When I tried to stop him,
660
00:29:59,215 --> 00:30:00,758
Sheriff Metzger said
I was just another one
661
00:30:00,841 --> 00:30:02,259
of Wayne's hysterical,
love-smitten customers.
662
00:30:02,343 --> 00:30:04,345
He won't even let me visit him.
663
00:30:04,428 --> 00:30:07,932
Oh, please, Jessica,
you've got to do something.
664
00:30:08,015 --> 00:30:10,476
Now, six months ago
when you came into this town,
665
00:30:10,559 --> 00:30:11,810
you probably thought you were dealing
666
00:30:11,894 --> 00:30:12,811
with some hick sheriff.
667
00:30:12,895 --> 00:30:14,396
Wrong, buddy boy.
668
00:30:14,772 --> 00:30:16,565
That little bottle of orange sunshine
you handed me?
669
00:30:16,649 --> 00:30:18,192
Well, I sent that nice set of fingerprints
670
00:30:18,275 --> 00:30:20,778
off to the FBI just on a hunch.
671
00:30:20,861 --> 00:30:22,947
I'm sorry, Mrs. Fletcher,
I'm kind of busy right now.
672
00:30:23,322 --> 00:30:24,949
Oh, that's quite all right, sheriff.
673
00:30:25,032 --> 00:30:28,118
I'll wait.
674
00:30:28,202 --> 00:30:31,789
The Feds faxed me a rap sheet
on a guy named Wayne Freeman,
675
00:30:31,872 --> 00:30:33,541
released from Joliet prison a year ago.
676
00:30:33,624 --> 00:30:35,292
Now, from the description of this guy,
677
00:30:35,376 --> 00:30:37,253
he could be your twin brother.
678
00:30:37,336 --> 00:30:39,755
Would you like me to read you a
list of the Bunco convictions?
679
00:30:39,838 --> 00:30:40,839
Okay, okay. I was in prison.
680
00:30:40,923 --> 00:30:43,384
I didn't care much for the experience,
681
00:30:43,759 --> 00:30:45,052
so I decided to get
into something legitimate.
682
00:30:45,135 --> 00:30:46,387
Legitimate, huh?
683
00:30:46,470 --> 00:30:47,846
Well, the last time you were busted,
684
00:30:48,222 --> 00:30:49,682
your partner was a guy named Fred Keppard.
685
00:30:49,765 --> 00:30:51,433
Are you following me, Mr. Bennett?
686
00:30:51,809 --> 00:30:53,477
Hey, I didn't kill him.
687
00:30:53,852 --> 00:30:56,021
Look, I had Joe Hardin
locked up back there all night,
688
00:30:56,105 --> 00:30:57,815
until his lawyer just bailed him out.
689
00:30:57,898 --> 00:31:00,442
Now, he says he saw Keppard
driving away from your gym
690
00:31:00,526 --> 00:31:02,027
the night he was killed.
691
00:31:07,616 --> 00:31:10,786
Okay.
692
00:31:10,869 --> 00:31:13,914
All right, Fred located me two days ago.
693
00:31:13,998 --> 00:31:15,874
He wanted to use me in some lame scheme
694
00:31:15,958 --> 00:31:19,336
he was working on Eve Simpson
to con the other women in town.
695
00:31:19,420 --> 00:31:21,130
I said no.
696
00:31:21,213 --> 00:31:24,717
I told Fred that I was
on the level these days,
697
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:26,677
but he figured I owed him.
698
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:28,387
So he threatened
to go public with your past
699
00:31:28,470 --> 00:31:29,680
unless you joined him?
700
00:31:30,055 --> 00:31:31,640
Okay.
701
00:31:32,016 --> 00:31:33,726
So where were you between 8:00 and 10:00
702
00:31:33,809 --> 00:31:34,643
last Friday night?
703
00:31:34,727 --> 00:31:39,273
In my apartment, watching TV, alone.
704
00:31:39,356 --> 00:31:43,277
Alone, huh? Too bad.
705
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:45,487
Okay, Floyd, lock him up.
706
00:31:45,571 --> 00:31:47,239
What about a lawyer?
707
00:31:47,323 --> 00:31:50,242
And let him run his fingers
through the Yellow Pages.
708
00:31:50,618 --> 00:31:51,744
You said you got his prints
709
00:31:51,827 --> 00:31:52,911
off a bottle of his orange drink?
710
00:31:52,995 --> 00:31:53,829
Right.
711
00:31:53,912 --> 00:31:55,080
And did you analyze the contents?
712
00:31:55,164 --> 00:31:58,250
Yeah. The usual ingredients.
713
00:31:58,334 --> 00:32:02,504
Sodium benzoate, ascorbic acid,
carob bean gum.
714
00:32:02,588 --> 00:32:04,381
Oh, and yeah, even a little orange juice.
715
00:32:04,465 --> 00:32:07,217
No drugs, no poison, nothing illegal
or fraudulent?
716
00:32:07,301 --> 00:32:09,803
Okay, okay, Mrs. Fletcher.
717
00:32:10,179 --> 00:32:13,057
I know what you're gonna say.
He's a nice guy.
718
00:32:13,140 --> 00:32:15,100
He couldn't possibly have done it.
719
00:32:15,184 --> 00:32:17,144
No, that isn't what I was gonna say
at all.
720
00:32:17,227 --> 00:32:18,812
You weren't?
721
00:32:18,896 --> 00:32:20,939
No, he may very well have
killed Mr. Keppard.
722
00:32:21,023 --> 00:32:23,442
But I'm pretty sure that he wasn't telling
723
00:32:23,525 --> 00:32:25,861
the truth about something.
724
00:32:25,944 --> 00:32:27,821
What I'd like to suggest is,
725
00:32:28,197 --> 00:32:29,990
that is, if it's all right with you,
of course...
726
00:32:30,366 --> 00:32:32,034
Of course.
727
00:32:32,409 --> 00:32:35,704
Is that I spend a few moments
alone with him.
728
00:32:35,788 --> 00:32:37,539
Maybe get him to open up a bit.
729
00:32:37,623 --> 00:32:39,750
Who knows, he might tell me something
that he would feel
730
00:32:39,833 --> 00:32:43,045
reluctant to reveal to you.
731
00:32:43,128 --> 00:32:45,839
You mean confess?
732
00:32:45,923 --> 00:32:48,509
Mrs. Fletcher, be my guest.
733
00:32:50,302 --> 00:32:53,097
Eve Simpson is very worried
about you, Wayne.
734
00:32:53,180 --> 00:32:54,932
You see, she's convinced
that you're innocent.
735
00:32:55,307 --> 00:32:57,017
Eve's a good Judge of character.
736
00:32:57,101 --> 00:32:59,520
She also believed
that Fred Keppard was a charming widower
737
00:32:59,603 --> 00:33:01,647
with a healthy bank account.
738
00:33:01,730 --> 00:33:03,941
Mrs. Fletcher, I'm not into murder.
739
00:33:04,024 --> 00:33:05,901
Matter of fact, I'm not even into Bunco.
740
00:33:05,984 --> 00:33:08,946
Not anymore, I mean, not really.
741
00:33:09,029 --> 00:33:11,115
I mean, sure, I suppose
I could charge a little less
742
00:33:11,198 --> 00:33:15,661
for my health drinks or the t-shirts
or even the sessions.
743
00:33:15,744 --> 00:33:17,287
But what I'm selling these ladies
is a sense
744
00:33:17,371 --> 00:33:19,623
of well-being, of belonging.
745
00:33:19,707 --> 00:33:21,709
They get their money's worth.
746
00:33:21,792 --> 00:33:24,670
Well, I suppose there is
a certain amount of con
747
00:33:24,753 --> 00:33:28,924
attached to any business, like,
well, like when my agent calls
748
00:33:29,007 --> 00:33:32,261
me and talks me into going
into a personal appearance tour.
749
00:33:32,636 --> 00:33:35,764
The problem is, Wayne,
aside from Eve Simpson,
750
00:33:35,848 --> 00:33:39,226
no one in this town
even knew Fred Keppard.
751
00:33:39,309 --> 00:33:42,312
And while it's easy to believe
a lot of things about Eve,
752
00:33:42,396 --> 00:33:43,480
murder is not one of them.
753
00:33:43,564 --> 00:33:46,734
Look, I swear to you, I didn't kill him.
754
00:33:46,817 --> 00:33:47,651
Well, perhaps not.
755
00:33:47,735 --> 00:33:50,028
But you weren't alone in your apartment
756
00:33:50,112 --> 00:33:51,613
watching TV when he was killed.
757
00:33:53,282 --> 00:33:54,700
Where were you, Wayne?
758
00:33:55,075 --> 00:33:56,702
Look, all I can tell you, Mrs. Fletcher,
759
00:33:56,785 --> 00:33:57,786
is I didn't kill him.
760
00:34:05,544 --> 00:34:08,505
It's ridiculous. Arresting Wayne.
761
00:34:08,589 --> 00:34:09,923
That dumb sheriff,
762
00:34:10,007 --> 00:34:11,508
he ought to have his head examined.
763
00:34:11,592 --> 00:34:12,843
And his wife.
764
00:34:12,926 --> 00:34:14,470
Did you know that she's got
765
00:34:14,553 --> 00:34:15,846
a marine corps tattoo right here?
766
00:34:15,929 --> 00:34:17,222
-No?
-Yes.
767
00:34:17,306 --> 00:34:18,265
[laughs]
768
00:34:18,348 --> 00:34:20,017
It's criminal.
769
00:34:20,100 --> 00:34:22,436
You know, I think we should get together,
770
00:34:22,519 --> 00:34:24,563
I mean, all of us, form a committee.
771
00:34:24,646 --> 00:34:27,191
Hire an attorney...
Ah, my husband, the lawyer.
772
00:34:27,274 --> 00:34:28,776
Fine. Fine by me.
773
00:34:28,859 --> 00:34:30,235
As soon as we get home,
I'll start calling.
774
00:34:30,319 --> 00:34:31,445
Good.
775
00:34:38,660 --> 00:34:41,830
Um, excuse me, Mrs. Fletcher?
776
00:34:41,914 --> 00:34:44,374
Oh, hello. It's Betty, isn't it?
777
00:34:44,458 --> 00:34:46,919
I think we met one night
at Eve Simpson's house.
778
00:34:47,002 --> 00:34:49,087
Right, I wasn't sure that you'd remember.
779
00:34:49,171 --> 00:34:51,507
Um, Mrs. Fletcher,
780
00:34:51,590 --> 00:34:54,218
I think I kind of need your advice.
781
00:34:54,301 --> 00:34:55,969
I mean, I know I should go to the sheriff,
782
00:34:56,053 --> 00:34:57,930
but Wayne told me not to.
783
00:34:58,013 --> 00:34:59,681
But I don't know--
784
00:34:59,765 --> 00:35:02,976
Well, what is it?
785
00:35:03,060 --> 00:35:04,436
Wayne told the sheriff
786
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:06,021
that the night Fred Keppard was killed
787
00:35:06,104 --> 00:35:07,898
that he was alone in his apartment
788
00:35:07,981 --> 00:35:09,858
watching television.
789
00:35:09,942 --> 00:35:13,362
That isn't true. Fact is, he was with me.
790
00:35:13,445 --> 00:35:15,197
Look, Betty, I know
that you want to help Wayne
791
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,866
-in anyway that you can, but--
-It's not a lie.
792
00:35:18,242 --> 00:35:21,578
Please believe me.
We were together all evening.
793
00:35:21,662 --> 00:35:23,580
Until sunup, as a matter of fact.
794
00:35:23,664 --> 00:35:25,165
And I'll swear to that in court.
795
00:35:25,541 --> 00:35:27,876
I see.
796
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:32,172
No, no. I'm not sure that you do.
797
00:35:32,256 --> 00:35:34,258
You see, for the past nine months,
798
00:35:34,341 --> 00:35:35,843
Wayne and I have been married.
799
00:35:38,804 --> 00:35:40,055
Look, sheriff,
800
00:35:40,138 --> 00:35:42,224
what I'm selling isn't just exercise.
801
00:35:42,307 --> 00:35:43,684
The only way it can possibly work,
802
00:35:43,767 --> 00:35:45,310
is for me to pretend I'm single.
803
00:35:45,394 --> 00:35:48,146
I have my own little place
down by the beach.
804
00:35:48,230 --> 00:35:49,273
I rented it under my maiden name.
805
00:35:49,356 --> 00:35:51,984
And we'll show you a marriage license
if you want.
806
00:35:52,067 --> 00:35:54,278
Okay, so you got a license.
807
00:35:54,361 --> 00:35:56,280
Mrs. Bennett,
808
00:35:56,363 --> 00:35:57,823
did you happen to know this guy, Keppard?
809
00:35:59,283 --> 00:36:00,742
No.
810
00:36:00,826 --> 00:36:03,579
I mean, I knew of him, of course.
811
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:06,290
Look, sheriff, there's no reason
812
00:36:06,373 --> 00:36:07,958
to keep Wayne here anymore, is there?
813
00:36:08,333 --> 00:36:10,669
Well, I'm afraid I don't
quite see it that way, ma'am.
814
00:36:11,044 --> 00:36:13,171
You see, all I've got is your word
815
00:36:13,255 --> 00:36:15,424
that your husband was with you
the night of the murder.
816
00:36:15,507 --> 00:36:18,051
Now, you're not exactly
an impartial witness.
817
00:36:18,135 --> 00:36:19,344
Now, I'm sorry, ma'am.
818
00:36:19,428 --> 00:36:20,804
Until the courts tell me different,
819
00:36:20,888 --> 00:36:22,264
he stays right here.
820
00:36:25,183 --> 00:36:27,436
[woman] We want our money back.
821
00:36:27,519 --> 00:36:30,856
Look, sweetie, I heard it
straight from Ideal Malloy,
822
00:36:30,939 --> 00:36:33,191
who heard it straight from Phyllis Grant.
823
00:36:33,275 --> 00:36:34,651
But there's got to be some mistake.
824
00:36:34,735 --> 00:36:36,945
Yeah, and old blue eyes made it.
825
00:36:37,029 --> 00:36:39,031
I want a refund on my lifetime membership.
826
00:36:39,406 --> 00:36:40,741
Me, too.
827
00:36:40,824 --> 00:36:42,534
Well, the line forms to the right, girls.
828
00:36:42,618 --> 00:36:45,162
But I'm sorry,
you women all signed contracts.
829
00:36:45,537 --> 00:36:47,998
That was before we knew Wayne was married.
830
00:36:48,081 --> 00:36:50,417
Married! He could be a murderer.
831
00:36:50,500 --> 00:36:51,543
Look, honey.
832
00:36:51,919 --> 00:36:53,712
We get our money back,
833
00:36:54,087 --> 00:36:56,298
or my husband, the lawyer,
turns this place
834
00:36:56,381 --> 00:36:59,092
into a pizza parlor.
835
00:36:59,176 --> 00:37:01,053
You know, one thing just doesn't add up.
836
00:37:01,136 --> 00:37:03,931
If Wayne was going back
to his old con games,
837
00:37:04,014 --> 00:37:05,557
why kill Fred Keppard?
838
00:37:05,641 --> 00:37:07,351
I mean, why not just team up with him
839
00:37:07,434 --> 00:37:10,646
and operate the land swindle?
840
00:37:10,729 --> 00:37:14,316
Oh, sheriff, there you are.
841
00:37:14,399 --> 00:37:16,068
Sheriff, if you're all finished,
842
00:37:16,151 --> 00:37:18,236
I'd like to move back in now.
843
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:19,863
It's me, ladies, Floyd.
844
00:37:20,238 --> 00:37:21,406
The sheriff's in the living room.
845
00:37:21,782 --> 00:37:22,950
I'll check with him.
846
00:37:26,912 --> 00:37:29,831
Oh, dear.
847
00:37:29,915 --> 00:37:31,917
Maybe that's what happened. What?
848
00:37:32,292 --> 00:37:35,754
Eve, who besides you and me and Wayne
849
00:37:35,837 --> 00:37:38,090
knew that you wouldn't be
at the house Friday night?
850
00:37:38,173 --> 00:37:39,883
Well, just Fred, I guess.
851
00:37:39,967 --> 00:37:43,720
Which is why Fred showed up
to go through your files.
852
00:37:43,804 --> 00:37:46,181
A darkened bedroom window.
853
00:37:46,264 --> 00:37:49,101
He was shot from ten, 15 feet away?
854
00:37:49,184 --> 00:37:51,812
Yes.
855
00:37:51,895 --> 00:37:53,563
Maybe he was shot from outside the house.
856
00:37:53,647 --> 00:37:56,775
Maybe he was shot from here,
through the open window.
857
00:37:56,858 --> 00:38:00,153
And like me,
the killer couldn't see inside very well
858
00:38:00,237 --> 00:38:02,906
so he shot Fred by mistake.
859
00:38:02,990 --> 00:38:05,742
Eve, someone else was supposed to be here
860
00:38:05,826 --> 00:38:07,452
at this house that night.
861
00:38:07,828 --> 00:38:08,954
At least he was,
862
00:38:09,037 --> 00:38:11,623
until you cancelled the appointment.
863
00:38:11,707 --> 00:38:12,833
Wayne.
864
00:38:19,256 --> 00:38:20,882
[sheriff] Ah, come on, Mrs. F.
865
00:38:20,966 --> 00:38:22,759
You're making it sound like
the guy I got locked up
866
00:38:22,843 --> 00:38:24,344
wasn't the killer,
but the intended victim.
867
00:38:24,428 --> 00:38:27,514
Exactly. The killer
expected Wayne to be here
868
00:38:27,597 --> 00:38:30,475
and shot Fred by mistake in the dark,
869
00:38:30,559 --> 00:38:32,936
probably through the open window.
870
00:38:33,020 --> 00:38:35,313
Well, suppose you're right.
Where would I start?
871
00:38:35,397 --> 00:38:37,524
Every husband in town
wanted to kill Wayne.
872
00:38:37,607 --> 00:38:41,028
All except you, sheriff.
873
00:38:41,111 --> 00:38:44,614
Thanks, Floyd.
874
00:38:44,698 --> 00:38:45,615
Wait a minute. Joe Hardin.
875
00:38:45,699 --> 00:38:47,451
Joe Hardin?
876
00:38:47,534 --> 00:38:49,411
Who had a better motive?
877
00:38:49,494 --> 00:38:51,538
Well, Jessica, you remember,
Joe was at the pharmacy.
878
00:38:51,621 --> 00:38:54,416
He overheard me make that
nine o'clock appointment with Wayne.
879
00:38:54,499 --> 00:38:56,585
But he didn't know you'd cancelled.
880
00:38:56,668 --> 00:38:57,586
-Uh, sheriff?
-Sure.
881
00:38:58,253 --> 00:38:59,713
Joe shoots Keppard, thinking it's Wayne,
882
00:38:59,796 --> 00:39:01,173
and then I arrest him
on a namby-pamby charge
883
00:39:01,256 --> 00:39:02,883
of breaking into a gym.
884
00:39:02,966 --> 00:39:05,010
He gets 30 days instead of 30 years.
885
00:39:05,093 --> 00:39:07,179
-Sheriff...
-What is it, Floyd?
886
00:39:07,262 --> 00:39:10,098
Well, can't be Joe Hardin.
887
00:39:12,601 --> 00:39:14,311
What do you mean, can't be Joe Hardin?
888
00:39:14,394 --> 00:39:16,354
This Keppard fellow was shot at 9:15.
889
00:39:16,438 --> 00:39:19,024
Yeah?
890
00:39:19,107 --> 00:39:23,403
-And the fact is...
-Yeah?
891
00:39:23,487 --> 00:39:25,489
You arrested Joe at the gym
at nine o'clock.
892
00:39:28,784 --> 00:39:30,202
Just a moment, sheriff.
893
00:39:30,285 --> 00:39:31,745
Eve, at the pharmacy,
894
00:39:31,828 --> 00:39:33,622
now, Joe was not the only one
895
00:39:33,705 --> 00:39:36,708
who overheard you
and Wayne make that appointment.
896
00:39:36,792 --> 00:39:39,628
No, Nancy La Rue was standing...
897
00:39:39,711 --> 00:39:41,171
oh, my gosh.
898
00:39:41,254 --> 00:39:44,257
She's missed the last two days at the gym.
899
00:39:44,341 --> 00:39:46,593
I stopped by the pharmacy
the other evening.
900
00:39:46,676 --> 00:39:48,220
Clarence said that Nancy left town
901
00:39:48,303 --> 00:39:49,930
the night that Fred was killed
902
00:39:50,013 --> 00:39:52,015
to visit her sister in Augusta.
903
00:39:52,099 --> 00:39:55,435
Left town or skipped town?
904
00:39:59,147 --> 00:40:01,733
So Friday night,
where did you go, Mrs. La Rue?
905
00:40:01,817 --> 00:40:03,193
She told you.
906
00:40:03,276 --> 00:40:05,070
She went to visit her sister in Augusta.
907
00:40:05,153 --> 00:40:07,572
Sir, if you don't mind,
I'd like to hear from your wife.
908
00:40:07,656 --> 00:40:09,866
Eileen's kids were both sick with the flu,
909
00:40:09,950 --> 00:40:11,743
and her husband
was out of town on business,
910
00:40:11,827 --> 00:40:13,161
she called and asked if I could stay
for a couple of days.
911
00:40:13,829 --> 00:40:15,956
That's all there is to it.
912
00:40:16,039 --> 00:40:18,166
Does your sister have a phone number?
913
00:40:18,250 --> 00:40:20,377
Sheriff, I didn't kill this Fred Keppard.
914
00:40:20,460 --> 00:40:21,753
I didn't even know him.
915
00:40:21,837 --> 00:40:22,963
But you knew Wayne Bennett.
916
00:40:23,046 --> 00:40:24,339
Excuse me, Nancy,
917
00:40:24,422 --> 00:40:27,008
what time did you leave for Augusta?
918
00:40:27,092 --> 00:40:29,970
I don't know.
919
00:40:30,053 --> 00:40:31,346
Around 9:00, I guess.
920
00:40:31,429 --> 00:40:34,307
-Anyone see you?
-No.
921
00:40:34,391 --> 00:40:36,685
No, wait.
922
00:40:36,768 --> 00:40:38,478
I pulled into the Dusty River Motel
923
00:40:38,562 --> 00:40:40,564
around ten o'clock.
924
00:40:40,647 --> 00:40:43,191
It's an hour's drive
from here on the interstate.
925
00:40:43,275 --> 00:40:45,068
It's just outside of Whitsonberg,
I believe.
926
00:40:45,152 --> 00:40:46,820
Floyd, check it out.
927
00:40:46,903 --> 00:40:48,113
Sheriff, what the hell is this all about?
928
00:40:48,196 --> 00:40:49,823
My wife didn't kill anybody.
929
00:40:49,906 --> 00:40:51,825
Maybe yes, maybe no.
930
00:40:51,908 --> 00:40:54,494
Nancy, it seems odd to me
931
00:40:54,578 --> 00:40:56,997
that you would stop off at a motel.
932
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,624
I mean, you were only an hour
from Augusta.
933
00:40:59,708 --> 00:41:03,628
Well, I was tired.
934
00:41:03,712 --> 00:41:05,380
I couldn't keep my eyes open.
935
00:41:05,463 --> 00:41:07,799
I was afraid of falling asleep
at the wheel.
936
00:41:07,883 --> 00:41:09,801
That's right. And she called Eileen
937
00:41:09,885 --> 00:41:11,678
and said she wouldn't arrive
until the next morning.
938
00:41:11,761 --> 00:41:12,679
Isn't that right, honey?
939
00:41:12,762 --> 00:41:15,348
Yes, that's right.
940
00:41:15,432 --> 00:41:16,766
Okay if I call her on it?
941
00:41:16,850 --> 00:41:21,271
Sheriff, this is ridiculous.
942
00:41:21,354 --> 00:41:23,064
My goodness.
943
00:41:23,148 --> 00:41:26,443
That's a nasty bruise you have
near your eye.
944
00:41:26,526 --> 00:41:27,736
Though, it seems to be clearing up.
945
00:41:27,819 --> 00:41:30,697
Mrs. La Rue, you mind telling me
how you got that?
946
00:41:30,780 --> 00:41:32,365
Yes, she does mind.
947
00:41:32,449 --> 00:41:34,326
Mr. La Rue, do you mind?
948
00:41:35,702 --> 00:41:39,998
Clarence...
949
00:41:40,081 --> 00:41:43,501
It's no good. I can't lie anymore.
950
00:41:43,585 --> 00:41:45,212
Nancy, don't...
951
00:41:45,295 --> 00:41:47,714
The truth is,
952
00:41:47,797 --> 00:41:49,049
Clarence and I had a fight.
953
00:41:49,132 --> 00:41:52,135
I came home around 8:30 or so.
954
00:41:52,219 --> 00:41:54,721
I'd been down by the ocean,
sitting and thinking.
955
00:41:54,804 --> 00:41:56,598
I do that a lot when I want
to sort things out for myself.
956
00:41:56,681 --> 00:41:58,725
And I had a lot on my mind.
957
00:41:58,808 --> 00:42:00,518
Such as?
958
00:42:01,186 --> 00:42:04,189
My life. My marriage.
959
00:42:06,650 --> 00:42:09,778
Clarence had been drinking.
960
00:42:09,861 --> 00:42:11,571
He started accusing me
of being with Wayne.
961
00:42:11,655 --> 00:42:14,908
Well, I hadn't been,
but he wouldn't listen to me.
962
00:42:14,991 --> 00:42:16,159
He never listens to me
when he gets like that.
963
00:42:16,243 --> 00:42:18,203
Alcohol makes him crazy.
964
00:42:18,286 --> 00:42:19,829
He hit me.
965
00:42:19,913 --> 00:42:21,957
For a moment,
I thought he was gonna kill me.
966
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:23,625
All I could think of
was getting out of there.
967
00:42:23,708 --> 00:42:25,335
I didn't even pack a bag.
968
00:42:25,418 --> 00:42:27,170
I drove and drove.
969
00:42:27,254 --> 00:42:28,880
I had no idea where I was going.
970
00:42:28,964 --> 00:42:30,757
And then I saw the motel.
971
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:32,133
And I pulled in. I was so upset.
972
00:42:32,217 --> 00:42:33,969
I realized that I was maybe
973
00:42:34,052 --> 00:42:36,388
going to have an accident on the road.
974
00:42:36,471 --> 00:42:39,683
Sheriff, motel says Mrs. La Rue checked in
975
00:42:39,766 --> 00:42:41,351
about ten, Friday night,
just like she said.
976
00:42:41,434 --> 00:42:44,104
Checked out this morning.
977
00:42:44,187 --> 00:42:46,648
Well, I guess that lets you
off the hook, ma'am.
978
00:42:46,731 --> 00:42:49,192
Looks like I've been barking
up the wrong tree.
979
00:42:50,652 --> 00:42:54,656
No, not the wrong tree, sheriff,
980
00:42:54,739 --> 00:42:56,491
merely the wrong branch.
981
00:42:56,574 --> 00:42:57,575
We both were.
982
00:43:04,291 --> 00:43:05,750
What are you looking at me for?
983
00:43:05,834 --> 00:43:07,085
I didn't shoot the guy
through that window.
984
00:43:07,168 --> 00:43:08,461
Didn't you, Clarence?
985
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:12,590
Whoever killed Fred Keppard
thought he was killing Wayne.
986
00:43:12,674 --> 00:43:14,175
Who could possibly have known
987
00:43:14,259 --> 00:43:16,928
that Wayne would be
at Eve's house at nine o'clock?
988
00:43:17,595 --> 00:43:19,431
Only someone at the pharmacy
989
00:43:19,514 --> 00:43:22,642
who happened to overhear Eve
make the appointment.
990
00:43:22,726 --> 00:43:24,519
Joe was already arrested by that time,
991
00:43:24,602 --> 00:43:26,354
and Lil was at work.
992
00:43:26,438 --> 00:43:30,817
Since Nancy's in the clear that leaves...
993
00:43:30,900 --> 00:43:33,153
Eve Simpson.
994
00:43:33,236 --> 00:43:38,116
No, Eve was in Rockport,
dealing with some clients.
995
00:43:38,199 --> 00:43:40,535
There's something else, Clarence.
996
00:43:40,618 --> 00:43:44,331
You said you didn't shoot Fred
through that open window.
997
00:43:44,414 --> 00:43:46,666
How did you know that
that's where the shot came from?
998
00:43:50,253 --> 00:43:52,213
Clarence...
999
00:44:04,976 --> 00:44:06,770
I never was much of a liar.
1000
00:44:10,273 --> 00:44:11,733
Ain't much of a killer, either.
1001
00:44:11,816 --> 00:44:15,653
Hiding in the shadows...
1002
00:44:15,737 --> 00:44:16,738
I had too much to drink that night
1003
00:44:16,821 --> 00:44:19,032
like Nancy said.
1004
00:44:19,115 --> 00:44:23,912
I was pitifully drunk
and feeling sorry for myself.
1005
00:44:23,995 --> 00:44:28,875
All I could think about was losing Nancy.
1006
00:44:28,958 --> 00:44:30,293
And then it hit me.
1007
00:44:30,377 --> 00:44:32,128
I remembered Wayne would be at Eve's,
1008
00:44:32,212 --> 00:44:33,880
so I grabbed my shotgun.
1009
00:44:33,963 --> 00:44:36,299
All I could think about
was that damned city fellow
1010
00:44:36,383 --> 00:44:37,717
and his line of gab
1011
00:44:37,801 --> 00:44:41,054
and his hands on every woman in town
1012
00:44:41,137 --> 00:44:45,433
and us husbands paying for the privilege.
1013
00:44:45,517 --> 00:44:47,394
I came up the side of her house,
1014
00:44:47,477 --> 00:44:50,230
looked in the window.
1015
00:44:50,313 --> 00:44:53,233
It was dark, but I saw him.
1016
00:44:53,316 --> 00:44:56,986
I figured I'd be doing myself
and every man in town a favor.
1017
00:44:57,070 --> 00:45:01,032
I fired, and he dropped.
1018
00:45:01,116 --> 00:45:02,492
Then I didn't hear a sound.
1019
00:45:02,575 --> 00:45:05,495
I knew I'd got him.
1020
00:45:05,578 --> 00:45:10,208
Soon as I got home,
I hit the couch and passed out.
1021
00:45:12,252 --> 00:45:13,878
When I woke up the next morning...
1022
00:45:17,340 --> 00:45:18,550
and saw my gun...
1023
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:26,224
What I did, all came back to me.
1024
00:45:27,934 --> 00:45:29,185
Clarence...
1025
00:45:41,573 --> 00:45:44,617
Wasn't till later that day I found out
1026
00:45:45,493 --> 00:45:46,995
I shot the wrong man.
1027
00:45:55,795 --> 00:45:57,380
I love you, honey.
1028
00:45:58,798 --> 00:46:00,508
Always have.
1029
00:46:01,926 --> 00:46:03,511
I'm sorry.
1030
00:46:05,180 --> 00:46:07,474
It just come out all wrong.
1031
00:46:10,143 --> 00:46:12,312
[crying]
1032
00:46:21,196 --> 00:46:22,489
Thanks.
1033
00:46:22,572 --> 00:46:24,491
That was the county attorney's office.
1034
00:46:24,574 --> 00:46:26,951
La Rue's pleaded guilty to second-degree.
1035
00:46:27,035 --> 00:46:29,621
It will be quite a while
before he fills another prescription.
1036
00:46:29,704 --> 00:46:31,539
John Barleycorn and a jealous nature
1037
00:46:31,623 --> 00:46:33,208
are definitely not boon companions.
1038
00:46:33,291 --> 00:46:35,418
So Mort, what's in the box?
1039
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:39,047
-What box?
-That box.
1040
00:46:39,130 --> 00:46:42,342
Ben and I are dying of curiosity.
1041
00:46:42,425 --> 00:46:45,011
Oh, well, it's just
a little peace offering from Wayne
1042
00:46:45,094 --> 00:46:46,137
to show there were no hard feelings.
1043
00:46:46,804 --> 00:46:48,556
Oh, how very thoughtful of him.
1044
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:50,350
What is it?
1045
00:46:50,433 --> 00:46:53,645
[clears throat] It's a, uh...
1046
00:46:53,728 --> 00:46:55,939
custom-made showerhead.
1047
00:46:56,022 --> 00:46:57,524
Comes with a full-range spray
1048
00:46:57,607 --> 00:46:59,108
and a contemporary white finish.
1049
00:47:00,318 --> 00:47:02,570
How nice of Wayne to give it to you.
1050
00:47:02,654 --> 00:47:06,950
Uh, well, he didn't exactly give it to me.
1051
00:47:07,033 --> 00:47:08,701
Didn't? What did it cost you?
1052
00:47:08,785 --> 00:47:10,787
Not a dime, I swear.
1053
00:47:10,870 --> 00:47:12,747

for a year's worth
of Wayne's new bodybuilding classes.
1055
00:47:15,458 --> 00:47:18,378
You, Mort? Surely you jest.
1056
00:47:18,461 --> 00:47:20,088
This is strictly self-preservation.
1057
00:47:20,171 --> 00:47:21,297
Believe me.
1058
00:47:21,381 --> 00:47:22,715
Last night, Adele and me got into
1059
00:47:22,799 --> 00:47:24,509
a little arm wrestling competition.
1060
00:47:24,592 --> 00:47:26,928
She took me, ten out of ten.
1061
00:47:27,011 --> 00:47:27,845
Oh, dear.
1062
00:47:27,929 --> 00:47:30,223
Yeah, "Oh, dear," is right.
1063
00:47:30,306 --> 00:47:31,474
Before she started going to Wayne's,
1064
00:47:31,558 --> 00:47:32,892
I'd always win at least one,
1065
00:47:32,976 --> 00:47:34,769
sometimes even two.
