00:00:00,042 --> 00:00:02,628
Most family relationships aren’t easy.
2
00:00:02,712 --> 00:00:03,838
Do you have any idea what it’s like
3
00:00:03,921 --> 00:00:06,382
looking at your baby brother
over the barrel of a .38?
4
00:00:08,050 --> 00:00:10,010
[Jessica] Tonight on Murder, She Wrote.
5
00:00:10,428 --> 00:00:11,679
Won’t you to look at that.
6
00:00:14,056 --> 00:00:15,725
Hey, take a chance.
7
00:00:16,434 --> 00:00:19,019
I want him to know that you’re off limits.
8
00:00:19,103 --> 00:00:21,147
I’ve changed, I’ve cleaned up my act.
9
00:00:22,690 --> 00:00:23,774
What do you mean?
Just vanished from the boat?
10
00:00:23,858 --> 00:00:24,692
-Yes.
-How can that be?
11
00:00:24,775 --> 00:00:26,986
Let's just say
it’s an interesting part of the puzzle.
12
00:00:27,069 --> 00:00:28,571
This time you’re on your own.
13
00:00:28,654 --> 00:00:29,989
This time I’m innocent.
14
00:00:32,074 --> 00:00:35,035
[theme music]
15
00:02:00,162 --> 00:02:03,332
Excuse me, I don’t mean to bother you,
but are you Jessica Fletcher?
16
00:02:03,541 --> 00:02:05,793
-Yes, I am.
-[chuckles] I knew it.
17
00:02:05,876 --> 00:02:07,670
I’ve read your books, all of them.
18
00:02:07,753 --> 00:02:09,171
I think you’re terrific.
19
00:02:09,922 --> 00:02:11,799
[exclaims] Well, that’s very kind.
20
00:02:12,174 --> 00:02:14,260
-Thank you.
-This is my favorite.
21
00:02:14,343 --> 00:02:15,970
I brought it long from New York.
22
00:02:16,053 --> 00:02:17,471
I don’t suppose you could...
23
00:02:17,805 --> 00:02:19,098
Sign it? Of course.
24
00:02:20,015 --> 00:02:21,100
Who should I make it out to?
25
00:02:21,976 --> 00:02:25,646
Wayne-- Uh, Wayne will be just fine.
26
00:02:35,406 --> 00:02:36,240
There you go.
27
00:02:38,951 --> 00:02:40,494
So, what brings you to Maine?
28
00:02:40,578 --> 00:02:42,872
Well, I have a friend
who lives in Cabot Cove,
29
00:02:42,955 --> 00:02:44,665
or at least somebody who used to be.
30
00:02:44,832 --> 00:02:46,792
I’m hoping we can get back together again.
31
00:02:48,586 --> 00:02:50,504
It was a pleasure meeting you,
Mrs. Fletcher.
32
00:02:50,588 --> 00:02:52,172
Thanks for the autograph, it means a lot.
33
00:02:53,591 --> 00:02:56,093
No trouble at all.
I hope everything works out for you.
34
00:02:56,176 --> 00:02:57,011
So do I.
35
00:02:58,053 --> 00:03:00,014
-[quietly] So do I.
-[mysterious music]
36
00:03:08,939 --> 00:03:10,649
How can you stand around
arguing with me, Doc?
37
00:03:10,816 --> 00:03:13,193
You’ve got eight parking violations
and you haven’t paid one.
38
00:03:13,444 --> 00:03:15,487
You seem to forget I am a doctor.
39
00:03:15,571 --> 00:03:17,907
And now a doctor gets an emergency call,
40
00:03:18,282 --> 00:03:21,827
he doesn’t stop to figure out
where he’s gonna park his car.
41
00:03:21,952 --> 00:03:24,413
Oh, yeah? Well, let’s see.
This one was outside the bakery,
42
00:03:24,705 --> 00:03:26,540
this one’s in front
of Hagerty's Pool Hall,
43
00:03:26,790 --> 00:03:27,958
-this--
-That’s enough.
44
00:03:28,792 --> 00:03:29,793
What’s the fine?
45
00:03:30,085 --> 00:03:32,171
Simple math, Doc, 15 dollars times eight.
46
00:03:32,713 --> 00:03:35,507
You should have been an accountant
instead of a policeman.
47
00:03:36,467 --> 00:03:38,052
Well, comes next election,
48
00:03:38,135 --> 00:03:41,597
you are losing
one of your most valuable votes.
49
00:03:42,723 --> 00:03:44,016
We don’t have elections, Doc.
50
00:03:44,224 --> 00:03:45,601
I was hired by the city council.
51
00:03:45,684 --> 00:03:46,518
True.
52
00:03:48,979 --> 00:03:51,982
Hey, this is for 70 dollars,
you’ve got eight parking violations,
53
00:03:52,066 --> 00:03:53,734
you owe me $120.
54
00:03:53,817 --> 00:03:56,695
Well, I took the deduction
because I paid them all at once.
55
00:03:57,071 --> 00:03:59,823
[mischievous music]
56
00:04:01,033 --> 00:04:01,992
[door slams shut]
57
00:04:14,380 --> 00:04:15,381
Hi, Mort.
58
00:04:18,717 --> 00:04:19,551
It’s been a while.
59
00:04:25,766 --> 00:04:27,017
I understand how you feel.
60
00:04:29,603 --> 00:04:31,605
But I want you to know,
things are different.
61
00:04:32,064 --> 00:04:34,191
I’ve changed, I've cleaned up my act.
62
00:04:38,195 --> 00:04:39,613
You’re not even gonna listen to me?
63
00:04:39,697 --> 00:04:41,323
Oh, I listened, Wayne.
64
00:04:42,449 --> 00:04:43,951
Time and again I listened.
65
00:04:44,326 --> 00:04:45,619
And what did I ever get out of it?
66
00:04:46,745 --> 00:04:48,080
Just a whole lot of pain.
67
00:04:51,625 --> 00:04:53,544
I’m here because
I wanna make it up to you, Mort.
68
00:04:54,169 --> 00:04:55,587
I can’t do it in New York.
69
00:04:56,630 --> 00:05:01,468
I figured maybe here, with your help,
I could settle down, find a job,
70
00:05:02,594 --> 00:05:05,639
who knows, maybe even become
what you thought I should be.
71
00:05:09,476 --> 00:05:10,602
Is that asking too much?
72
00:05:13,397 --> 00:05:14,231
Yes.
73
00:05:16,316 --> 00:05:19,319
[emotive music]
74
00:05:20,112 --> 00:05:21,321
Maybe you could think it over.
75
00:05:23,824 --> 00:05:27,953
I’m staying at the Lighthouse Motel
and checkout’s at 12 noon.
76
00:05:29,079 --> 00:05:31,874
If I don’t see you by then, I'll go.
77
00:05:33,709 --> 00:05:34,543
Okay?
78
00:05:36,962 --> 00:05:41,341
[emotive music]
79
00:05:51,518 --> 00:05:52,352
Sheriff?
80
00:05:54,354 --> 00:05:55,230
Mrs. Fletcher...
81
00:05:55,898 --> 00:05:57,649
thought you weren’t due back from New York
until tomorrow.
82
00:05:57,733 --> 00:05:59,943
Well, I got finished
sooner than I expected.
83
00:06:00,652 --> 00:06:03,697
Oh, I managed to find the book
that Adele was looking for.
84
00:06:03,781 --> 00:06:05,491
May I give it to you to give to her?
85
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:09,912
Is everything all right, Sheriff?
86
00:06:09,995 --> 00:06:11,622
Sure. Why shouldn’t it be?
87
00:06:11,705 --> 00:06:15,167
Well, you seem to be having
a slight altercation with your desk.
88
00:06:15,250 --> 00:06:16,710
Well, that... [chuckles]
89
00:06:16,794 --> 00:06:19,004
...I just do that every so often
just to stay in shape.
90
00:06:19,088 --> 00:06:21,757
Ah, then it had nothing to do
with the young man I just saw leaving?
91
00:06:21,840 --> 00:06:22,966
No, he was a...
92
00:06:23,467 --> 00:06:25,677
-Just some stranger passing through town.
-I see.
93
00:06:25,803 --> 00:06:27,679
Look, Mrs. F,
it’s really great to see you,
94
00:06:27,763 --> 00:06:29,014
but I'm. I'm kind of snowed right now.
95
00:06:29,098 --> 00:06:30,057
Of course.
96
00:06:30,516 --> 00:06:31,600
We’ll talk later.
97
00:06:32,351 --> 00:06:35,771

98
00:06:47,407 --> 00:06:51,411
[orchestral music]
99
00:07:16,019 --> 00:07:18,147
[Adele] Come on up, Mort.
It’s getting late.
100
00:07:18,814 --> 00:07:19,731
In a minute, Adele.
101
00:07:54,683 --> 00:07:55,517
[knocking at door]
102
00:07:58,270 --> 00:07:59,104
Mort.
103
00:08:00,439 --> 00:08:02,274
-I just want--
-Now just shut up and listen.
104
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,319
Now you said you wanted a chance,
I'm gonna give you one.
105
00:08:05,986 --> 00:08:08,488
But if you mess up in any way,
no matter how small,
106
00:08:08,989 --> 00:08:10,407
I'm gonna come down on you so hard
107
00:08:10,490 --> 00:08:12,409
you’re gonna wish
you were back making license plates.
108
00:08:12,492 --> 00:08:13,535
-You got that?
-Yeah.
109
00:08:14,203 --> 00:08:16,622
One more thing, anybody asks, anybody...
110
00:08:18,332 --> 00:08:20,292
you’re just a friend of a friend,
nothing more.
111
00:08:21,126 --> 00:08:23,378
Sure, if that’s the way you want it.
112
00:08:23,462 --> 00:08:24,796
That’s the way I want it.
113
00:08:25,380 --> 00:08:26,506
[boat horn blaring]
114
00:08:34,514 --> 00:08:36,433
Zach’s kind of a bear,
but he’ll treat you fairly.
115
00:08:37,017 --> 00:08:38,352
Reminds me of somebody else I know.
116
00:08:40,646 --> 00:08:42,648
[Zach] Don’t threaten me, Terry Montagne.
117
00:08:42,731 --> 00:08:44,858
[Terry] Then you better start
listening to reason, Zach.
118
00:08:44,942 --> 00:08:45,817
[Zach] What reason?
119
00:08:45,901 --> 00:08:48,612
You’re a lousy con man.
I don’t owe you a damn cent.
120
00:08:49,029 --> 00:08:51,615
Facts and figures don’t lie, Zach,
you know it, I know it.
121
00:08:51,865 --> 00:08:52,950
Your facts, your figures.
122
00:08:53,033 --> 00:08:55,953
-I don’t want either one of 'em.
-Gentlemen, is there a problem here?
123
00:08:56,036 --> 00:08:57,037
There’s no problem.
124
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,374
Zach and I are just taking care
of some old business, right, Zach?
125
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:04,336
What can I do for you, Sheriff?
126
00:09:04,795 --> 00:09:06,755
Zach, this is Wayne Sterns.
127
00:09:06,838 --> 00:09:08,257
He needs, uh, he needs a job
128
00:09:08,340 --> 00:09:09,758
and I heard
you were looking for a deck hand.
129
00:09:09,841 --> 00:09:11,426
You ever work a fishing boat before?
130
00:09:11,510 --> 00:09:13,387
No, but I learn fast.
131
00:09:13,470 --> 00:09:14,930
All you gotta learn
is to live with the stink of fish.
132
00:09:15,681 --> 00:09:17,683
I just wanna work, Sir,
that’s all I care about.
133
00:09:17,766 --> 00:09:20,602
Okay, you just do what
I tell you when I tell you,
134
00:09:20,686 --> 00:09:22,729
we’ll get along fine.
You stow your gear below.
135
00:09:24,147 --> 00:09:25,232
Thanks.
136
00:09:25,565 --> 00:09:27,985
All right, Zach, kid gives you trouble,
any problems at all,
137
00:09:28,068 --> 00:09:30,279
just don’t hesitate to call
and I'll full responsibility.
138
00:09:30,362 --> 00:09:32,322
Don’t worry, Sheriff,
you’ll be the first to hear.
139
00:09:38,704 --> 00:09:39,913
All set, Captain Franklin.
140
00:09:39,997 --> 00:09:40,956
Call me Zach.
141
00:09:41,665 --> 00:09:43,250
You can start out
by swabbing down the deck.
142
00:09:43,333 --> 00:09:44,793
You’ll find a mop and a bucket aft,
143
00:09:45,085 --> 00:09:46,253
on the starboard side there.
144
00:09:59,182 --> 00:10:01,018
If you’re looking for the hose,
it’s over there.
145
00:10:04,938 --> 00:10:06,315
What would I have done without you?
146
00:10:07,065 --> 00:10:08,275
Probably, found it yourself.
147
00:10:09,609 --> 00:10:11,486
Elaine Franklin, Zach's daughter.
148
00:10:11,737 --> 00:10:13,864
Wayne Sterns, deck hand in training.
149
00:10:13,947 --> 00:10:15,615
Dad finally hired someone.
150
00:10:16,450 --> 00:10:18,618
Good.
I’ve been after him about that for ages.
151
00:10:18,702 --> 00:10:20,996
You're not from Cabot Cove, are you?
152
00:10:21,079 --> 00:10:22,331
Just came in yesterday.
153
00:10:22,414 --> 00:10:23,832
It’s a nice town, you’ll like it.
154
00:10:23,915 --> 00:10:24,833
I like it already.
155
00:10:25,375 --> 00:10:27,627
Dad, Wayne was just
telling me the good news.
156
00:10:27,711 --> 00:10:29,671
It’s about time we got
a little help around here.
157
00:10:29,755 --> 00:10:31,798
Looks like he’s doing
more talking than working.
158
00:10:31,882 --> 00:10:33,050
Right.
159
00:10:33,133 --> 00:10:34,134
See ya.
160
00:10:36,094 --> 00:10:39,306
I see we're in our
"crusty sea captain" mode, Dad.
161
00:10:39,389 --> 00:10:41,600
Daughter, you run the business.
162
00:10:41,683 --> 00:10:44,895
Leave the boat and the hired help to me.
You better get on back to the office
163
00:10:44,978 --> 00:10:46,688
before somebody steals us blind.
164
00:10:46,897 --> 00:10:47,731
Aye, Captain.
165
00:10:48,148 --> 00:10:49,191
Anything you say.
166
00:10:50,692 --> 00:10:51,902
Thank you, my beauty.
167
00:10:55,155 --> 00:10:58,658
And this is Otto, biggest of the bunch.
168
00:10:58,742 --> 00:11:00,702
Oh, he’s a real scrapper.
169
00:11:00,786 --> 00:11:01,995
They make the best eating, you know?
170
00:11:02,079 --> 00:11:05,123
Well, I’m not at all sure that I care
about personalizing my dinner.
171
00:11:05,624 --> 00:11:08,251
This is the one, Jessica, trust me.
172
00:11:08,335 --> 00:11:10,712
I’m never wrong
about muskmelons or lobster.
173
00:11:10,796 --> 00:11:12,923
[funky upbeat music]

00:11:13,673 --> 00:11:15,801
[clears throat] Why don’t you
wrap up Otto here for Mrs. Fletcher.
175
00:11:15,884 --> 00:11:19,846
She’ll take care of the damages
and with any luck invite me up for supper.
176
00:11:19,930 --> 00:11:20,889
Hey, what’s the hurry?
177
00:11:21,473 --> 00:11:23,642
Emergency, I think may be
parked in red zone.
178
00:11:25,060 --> 00:11:26,019
Thank you.
179
00:11:27,354 --> 00:11:28,271
Mrs. F.
180
00:11:28,355 --> 00:11:29,398
Oh, afternoon, Mort.
181
00:11:29,731 --> 00:11:30,816
Look, I wanna apologize
182
00:11:30,899 --> 00:11:32,776
for being so short
with you yesterday afternoon.
183
00:11:32,859 --> 00:11:34,611
Oh, no apology necessary.
184
00:11:34,694 --> 00:11:36,530
I happened to drop
in the office at a bad time.
185
00:11:36,613 --> 00:11:38,240
I hope things are better today.
186
00:11:38,323 --> 00:11:40,325
-Enjoy. Thanks a lot.
-[Jessica] Thanks.
187
00:11:41,952 --> 00:11:44,830
And so how is your brother
enjoying Cabot Cove so far?
188
00:11:44,913 --> 00:11:46,415
Well, he hasn’t really seen that mu--
189
00:11:47,124 --> 00:11:48,125
You know.
190
00:11:50,377 --> 00:11:53,422
I met Wayne on the plane
coming back from New York. [chuckles]
191
00:11:53,505 --> 00:11:56,133
He had a copy of one of my books
and he wanted me to sign it.
192
00:11:56,591 --> 00:11:58,969
But it happened to be the one
that I dedicated to you.
193
00:11:59,469 --> 00:12:01,179
Then I remembered that Adele once said
194
00:12:01,263 --> 00:12:03,098
that you had a younger brother
in New York City
195
00:12:03,181 --> 00:12:04,391
that you never talked about.
196
00:12:05,434 --> 00:12:08,353
And then when I saw his bag
with W. M. on it
197
00:12:08,437 --> 00:12:11,064
and saw the two of you
arguing in the station,
198
00:12:11,648 --> 00:12:13,483
I realized that I had to be right.
199
00:12:13,567 --> 00:12:14,609
Mrs. F....
200
00:12:15,318 --> 00:12:17,696
I'd appreciate it if you didn’t tell
anybody else about this.
201
00:12:18,238 --> 00:12:19,072
Any reason?
202
00:12:19,698 --> 00:12:21,825
Well, I've got my reasons
and they’re very important to me.
203
00:12:21,908 --> 00:12:23,452
Well, of course, Mort.
204
00:12:23,535 --> 00:12:24,661
If that’s what you want.
205
00:12:25,328 --> 00:12:27,205
Thanks, you’re a real friend.
206
00:12:27,831 --> 00:12:31,751
[mysterious music]
207
00:12:44,347 --> 00:12:46,099
-Wayne, hi.
-Hi.
208
00:12:46,558 --> 00:12:50,020
I hear Dad actually let you pilot
his baby back to port yesterday.
209
00:12:50,103 --> 00:12:51,271
Pretty amazing, isn’t it?
210
00:12:51,354 --> 00:12:53,190
I think he’s actually beginning
to trust me.
211
00:12:53,273 --> 00:12:55,066
-Did you enjoy it?
-Yeah...
212
00:12:55,901 --> 00:12:57,819
soon as I peeled his eyes off my back.
213
00:12:57,903 --> 00:12:59,112
[laughter]
214
00:12:59,362 --> 00:13:01,615
Listen, Elaine, I was wondering
if maybe this evening--
215
00:13:01,698 --> 00:13:04,951
Why, haven’t you finished the simple task
I gave you an hour ago?
216
00:13:05,035 --> 00:13:06,786
-Zach, I was just--
-No excuses. Get cracking.
217
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:10,248
That was uncalled for.
218
00:13:10,665 --> 00:13:12,584
I mean, he’s been breaking
his back for three weeks now,
219
00:13:12,667 --> 00:13:13,960
you could at least cut him a little slack.
220
00:13:14,044 --> 00:13:16,505
I want him to know that you’re off limits.
221
00:13:16,922 --> 00:13:19,758
And I hope it’s something
that I never have to talk to you about.
222
00:13:19,966 --> 00:13:20,800
[Keller] Hey!
223
00:13:21,134 --> 00:13:22,135
Damn poacher!
224
00:13:23,136 --> 00:13:24,304
What do you think you’re doing?
225
00:13:24,387 --> 00:13:26,056
What’s your problem, Captain Keller?
226
00:13:26,139 --> 00:13:28,225
You got your nose
in the wrong bucket again?
227
00:13:28,308 --> 00:13:29,893
You were on the East Bay last night.
228
00:13:30,268 --> 00:13:32,729
I told you before, those are my waters.
229
00:13:32,854 --> 00:13:35,607
As far as I know, the ocean belongs to God
230
00:13:35,690 --> 00:13:38,235
and the seagulls,
and not necessarily in that order.
231
00:13:38,318 --> 00:13:41,154
But till I find out,
dammit I'll fish where I like,
232
00:13:41,238 --> 00:13:43,782
when I like.
Let’s go, daughter. Get out of the way.
233
00:13:45,617 --> 00:13:46,618
Dad!
234
00:13:48,787 --> 00:13:49,621
Stop it.
235
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:55,794
Stop it.
236
00:13:57,170 --> 00:14:00,632
[men grunting]
237
00:14:08,265 --> 00:14:10,475
You can either leave on your own two feet
or by an ambulance.
238
00:14:13,228 --> 00:14:14,521
Well, you’ll pay for this.
239
00:14:15,814 --> 00:14:16,898
Both of you.
240
00:14:17,023 --> 00:14:19,359
[ominous music]
241
00:14:25,574 --> 00:14:26,408
Dad.
242
00:14:26,908 --> 00:14:28,326
[Zach] I’m all right, I'm all right.
243
00:14:29,869 --> 00:14:30,704
Thank you, Wayne.
244
00:14:37,794 --> 00:14:40,547
-Are you all right?
-Yeah. [panting]
245
00:14:41,214 --> 00:14:44,426
-Who was that guy?
-Ned Keller, captain of The Vagabond.
246
00:14:45,093 --> 00:14:46,219
He used to own The Gretchen.
247
00:14:47,137 --> 00:14:49,514
He’s drunk half the time
and he’s not a very good fisherman.
248
00:14:50,432 --> 00:14:52,934
Couldn’t keep up his payments on the boat,
so the bank took it back.
249
00:14:53,393 --> 00:14:55,812
Dad and Terry Montagne
bought it at a reduced price.
250
00:14:55,895 --> 00:14:57,897
Which didn’t make him
too popular with Keller.
251
00:14:57,981 --> 00:14:59,232
Especially Dad.
252
00:14:59,858 --> 00:15:01,735
But thank God you were here.
253
00:15:02,444 --> 00:15:03,653
You were wonderful.
254
00:15:04,738 --> 00:15:07,741
[emotive music]
255
00:15:22,088 --> 00:15:22,922
[Wayne] Hi.
256
00:15:23,298 --> 00:15:24,549
Thought I told you never to come in here.
257
00:15:24,633 --> 00:15:26,801
Yeah, but since I've been working
for Captain Blyth,
258
00:15:26,885 --> 00:15:28,762
I've seen less of you
than I have of dry land.
259
00:15:30,347 --> 00:15:31,473
How about I buy you lunch?
260
00:15:32,307 --> 00:15:33,391
Thanks, but I'm not hungry.
261
00:15:34,142 --> 00:15:35,852
What do you want from me, Mort?
262
00:15:36,561 --> 00:15:38,563
-I’m doing the best I can.
-[Mort] So I've heard.
263
00:15:38,647 --> 00:15:40,649
And who knows,
maybe in a couple of months,
264
00:15:41,232 --> 00:15:42,984
I may even start to trust you again.
265
00:15:44,569 --> 00:15:47,322
But until then, I don’t even know you.
266
00:15:48,073 --> 00:15:51,910
[dramatic music]
267
00:16:08,635 --> 00:16:09,552
[Jessica] Wayne.
268
00:16:09,803 --> 00:16:10,679
Mrs. Fletcher, hi.
269
00:16:10,929 --> 00:16:13,223
I was just gonna have a bite of lunch.
Would you like to join me?
270
00:16:13,306 --> 00:16:14,432
Thanks, that’d be terrific.
271
00:16:16,101 --> 00:16:17,811
-[waitress] Hi, Mrs. Fletcher.
-[Jessica] Hello.
272
00:16:17,894 --> 00:16:20,605
Special scallops in burgundy wine sauce.
273
00:16:20,939 --> 00:16:22,732
And I'll be back in a minute
to take your order.
274
00:16:25,193 --> 00:16:27,862
Well, I must say that the sea air
certainly agrees with you.
275
00:16:27,946 --> 00:16:28,947
You’re looking very fit.
276
00:16:29,656 --> 00:16:30,740
I love it out there.
277
00:16:31,116 --> 00:16:34,327
I don’t think I've ever found any place
more quiet and peaceful.
278
00:16:35,328 --> 00:16:37,330
Then things are going well for you?
279
00:16:38,373 --> 00:16:40,208
You know about me and Mort, don’t you?
280
00:16:40,750 --> 00:16:42,168
Well, I know that you’re brothers
281
00:16:42,711 --> 00:16:45,004
and I know
that there’s something between you both
282
00:16:45,088 --> 00:16:46,881
that Mort won’t talk about.
283
00:16:47,257 --> 00:16:50,427
Yeah, I can’t say I blame him.
I haven’t exactly made it easy.
284
00:16:50,510 --> 00:16:54,180
Well, most family
relationships aren’t easy.
285
00:16:54,264 --> 00:16:55,306
[laughter]
286
00:16:56,516 --> 00:16:57,726
You know, when Dad died,
287
00:16:57,892 --> 00:16:59,686
Mort felt like he had to take his place.
288
00:16:59,769 --> 00:17:01,354
All of a sudden
he wasn’t a brother anymore.
289
00:17:01,938 --> 00:17:03,690
He was just some guy with a tight face
290
00:17:03,815 --> 00:17:05,024
pretending to be my father.
291
00:17:06,109 --> 00:17:08,653
Well, that’s not unusual
under the circumstances.
292
00:17:08,737 --> 00:17:11,489
Sure, but back then it drove me crazy.
293
00:17:12,073 --> 00:17:14,993
I felt like I was living under
Mort’s thumb 24 hours a day.
294
00:17:15,493 --> 00:17:16,953
When I started getting into trouble,
295
00:17:17,370 --> 00:17:19,622
Mort thought I was doing it
just to tick him off.
296
00:17:20,206 --> 00:17:21,958
How serious was the trouble?
297
00:17:22,041 --> 00:17:23,209
[Wayne] Not much first.
298
00:17:24,335 --> 00:17:27,338
Fights, gang stuff, things like that.
299
00:17:28,506 --> 00:17:30,133
But I'm not gonna lie about it.
300
00:17:31,009 --> 00:17:33,553
It got worse, a lot worse.
301
00:17:34,763 --> 00:17:36,181
And you know Mort.
302
00:17:36,264 --> 00:17:37,766
If he ever has to have a heart operation,
303
00:17:37,849 --> 00:17:40,185
I'm sure they’ll find
a gold badge in there.
304
00:17:40,643 --> 00:17:42,270
[chuckles] Breaking the law
305
00:17:42,353 --> 00:17:45,106
is the one thing he can’t seem to forgive.
306
00:17:45,482 --> 00:17:47,776
Is that what you came to Cabot Cove for?
307
00:17:48,902 --> 00:17:49,736
Forgiveness?
308
00:17:50,028 --> 00:17:52,530
I figured I could start a new life here.
309
00:17:53,031 --> 00:17:56,576
Prove something to Mort... maybe myself.
310
00:17:58,119 --> 00:17:59,829
But no matter how hard I try,
311
00:17:59,913 --> 00:18:01,706
Mort still won’t believe I've changed.
312
00:18:03,041 --> 00:18:04,375
I don’t think he ever will.
313
00:18:05,001 --> 00:18:09,130
Wayne... Mort may be hard to deal with
at the times,
314
00:18:09,214 --> 00:18:12,759
but I've never known anyone
more fair and decent.
315
00:18:13,343 --> 00:18:16,095
So be patient with him,
give him a little more time.
316
00:18:16,596 --> 00:18:18,932
And if you don’t want him
to give up on you,
317
00:18:19,224 --> 00:18:22,393
then for heaven’s sakes,
don’t give up on him.
318
00:18:25,814 --> 00:18:27,357
[Seth] Excuse me, Sheriff?
319
00:18:29,234 --> 00:18:32,987
You notice anything peculiar
about where you’re parked?
320
00:18:33,112 --> 00:18:34,614
You owe me 50 bucks, Doc.
321
00:18:35,198 --> 00:18:36,074
Thirty-five.
322
00:18:36,616 --> 00:18:41,037
I’m deducting 15 for this violation
I just pointed out to you.
323
00:18:41,621 --> 00:18:43,998
Ordinance 42.7 of the City Charter,
324
00:18:44,082 --> 00:18:45,792
parking in a red zone.
325
00:18:45,875 --> 00:18:48,002
Twenty-four hours, Doc, then it’s jail.
326
00:18:48,086 --> 00:18:49,712
You’ll have to catch me first,
327
00:18:49,879 --> 00:18:51,297
and I'm pretty fast on the feet.
328
00:18:51,422 --> 00:18:55,301
[funky upbeat music]
329
00:19:02,225 --> 00:19:04,018
[Elaine] Hi, stranger, is Dad around?
330
00:19:04,811 --> 00:19:06,688
Uh, he’s on the boat, I'll get him.
331
00:19:06,938 --> 00:19:08,731
Oh, no, wait, uh listen. Um...
332
00:19:09,941 --> 00:19:11,818
Dad’s gonna be down in Freeport
this weekend
333
00:19:12,235 --> 00:19:13,069
and I thought
334
00:19:13,361 --> 00:19:17,282
maybe we could, um,
have dinner together or something.
335
00:19:18,449 --> 00:19:20,827
Uh... well, I don’t know. Zach--
336
00:19:20,910 --> 00:19:22,954
Scares off everybody I meet
337
00:19:23,246 --> 00:19:25,540
because he thinks they’re not good enough.
338
00:19:26,457 --> 00:19:29,460
But knowing his criteria,
that leaves doctors,
339
00:19:29,544 --> 00:19:31,254
who don’t
come around the docks very often,
340
00:19:31,713 --> 00:19:33,464
and saints,
who don’t come around anywhere.
341
00:19:34,048 --> 00:19:35,675
Hey, take a chance.
342
00:19:36,718 --> 00:19:37,886
I make a killer pasta.
343
00:19:39,721 --> 00:19:41,347
I don’t know, you keep twisting my arm.
344
00:19:41,431 --> 00:19:42,849
Don’t even think about it.
345
00:19:43,349 --> 00:19:47,270
Elaine, I've said this before
but I'm not gonna say it again.
346
00:19:47,353 --> 00:19:49,564
I don’t want you here
hanging around the boat.
347
00:19:49,647 --> 00:19:50,523
Damn it, Dad.
348
00:19:50,607 --> 00:19:51,774
When are you gonna get it
through your head
349
00:19:51,858 --> 00:19:53,151
that I'm not 12 years old?
350
00:19:53,276 --> 00:19:54,319
-Just get--
-Zach.
351
00:19:54,485 --> 00:19:55,320
Never!
352
00:19:55,737 --> 00:19:59,073
You never lay your hands on me.
353
00:20:00,366 --> 00:20:03,328
You better go.
He’ll be all right, I promise.
354
00:20:09,334 --> 00:20:11,711
Zach, this is stupid.
We gotta talk about this.
355
00:20:11,794 --> 00:20:13,588
No, I'll talk and you do the listening.
356
00:20:14,422 --> 00:20:16,716
What do you take me for?
You think I'm blind?
357
00:20:17,342 --> 00:20:21,596
I’ve seen that tattoo you got on your arm
when you were fighting Keller.
358
00:20:21,679 --> 00:20:23,556
That’s a prison tattoo.
359
00:20:24,265 --> 00:20:27,518
That’s one teardrop for each year spent,
you’re an ex-con.
360
00:20:27,602 --> 00:20:29,270
So, why didn’t you do ahead and fire me?
361
00:20:29,395 --> 00:20:32,148
Boy, I've got nothing against the man
that’s paid his debts.
362
00:20:32,523 --> 00:20:34,192
I just don’t want you
hanging around my daughter.
363
00:20:34,275 --> 00:20:35,401
Zach, she’s a grown woman.
364
00:20:35,485 --> 00:20:37,070
She has the right to see
whoever she wants to.
365
00:20:37,153 --> 00:20:38,488
Not an ex-con.
366
00:20:39,948 --> 00:20:42,408
Of course, though,
I could phone Sheriff Metzger,
367
00:20:42,951 --> 00:20:45,244
tell him I found some money
missing from the cash box.
368
00:20:46,120 --> 00:20:47,830
How do you suppose he’d take to that?
369
00:20:49,916 --> 00:20:52,460
Well, I think you and me
understand each other now, don’t we?
370
00:20:53,378 --> 00:20:55,880
So, why don’t we get underway now?
371
00:20:56,547 --> 00:20:57,674
See if we can catch some fish.
372
00:20:58,257 --> 00:21:00,426
If you’ll cast off the bowline,
please, sir?
373
00:21:02,929 --> 00:21:07,266
[ominous dramatic music]
374
00:21:49,392 --> 00:21:50,351
Oh, it’s the sheriff!
375
00:21:52,145 --> 00:21:54,939
Well, thank you for breakfast, Jessica.
376
00:21:55,023 --> 00:21:56,399
I expect I'd better be on my way.
377
00:21:56,733 --> 00:21:57,942
Seth, what is this?
378
00:21:58,109 --> 00:22:00,778
Every time you see the sheriff,
you act like a wanted criminal.
379
00:22:00,862 --> 00:22:02,613
Well, there could be some truth in that.
380
00:22:02,697 --> 00:22:04,240
So, don’t tell him I was here.
381
00:22:05,825 --> 00:22:06,993
[knocking at door]
382
00:22:11,414 --> 00:22:14,167
Oh, good morning, Sheriff.
Come on in. Nice to see you.
383
00:22:14,751 --> 00:22:17,795
I was just finishing breakfast.
Uh, would you care for a blueberry muffin?
384
00:22:17,962 --> 00:22:19,005
Uh, thanks, no.
385
00:22:19,338 --> 00:22:20,590
Look, Mrs. Fletcher...
386
00:22:21,591 --> 00:22:23,342
I know you had a talk
with Wayne yesterday.
387
00:22:23,426 --> 00:22:25,011
That’s right. We had lunch together.
388
00:22:25,678 --> 00:22:27,680
-Did he tell you he was in prison?
-No.
389
00:22:27,764 --> 00:22:30,308
He told me that he’d been
in serious trouble with the law,
390
00:22:30,391 --> 00:22:31,517
he never denied it.
391
00:22:31,601 --> 00:22:32,643
Well, let me guess.
392
00:22:33,102 --> 00:22:35,980
He probably gave you
the helpless little boy version.
393
00:22:37,315 --> 00:22:41,027
Father dies leaving a bottomless void
for poor Wayne Metzger.
394
00:22:41,569 --> 00:22:43,529
Stern older brother becomes father figure
395
00:22:43,613 --> 00:22:46,491
and makes his life
a nightmare of misery and pain.
396
00:22:47,116 --> 00:22:48,910
Sounds like something
out of Charles Dickens, doesn’t it?
397
00:22:48,993 --> 00:22:51,537
He must have hurt you very badly.
398
00:22:52,121 --> 00:22:53,081
That’s not the point.
399
00:22:53,539 --> 00:22:54,373
Isn’t it?
400
00:22:54,457 --> 00:22:57,710
Look, Mrs. Fletcher,
I am just trynna save you some grief.
401
00:22:57,835 --> 00:23:00,505
Wayne is like--
he’s like two different people.
402
00:23:01,089 --> 00:23:02,673
Trouble follows him wherever he goes
403
00:23:02,757 --> 00:23:04,634
and I just don’t want you to get hurt.
404
00:23:05,218 --> 00:23:07,178
[telephone ringing]
405
00:23:10,807 --> 00:23:11,641
Hello?
406
00:23:12,683 --> 00:23:13,893
Why, yes. Yes, he is.
407
00:23:15,770 --> 00:23:16,604
[Mort] Metzger.
408
00:23:21,526 --> 00:23:22,360
I’ll be right there.
409
00:23:24,570 --> 00:23:26,405
Well, Wayne’s done it again.
410
00:23:29,617 --> 00:23:31,494
Elaine, I'm so sorry.
411
00:23:31,577 --> 00:23:34,288
Your father, he’s missing.
I... I think he’s dead.
412
00:23:34,956 --> 00:23:35,790
No.
413
00:23:36,707 --> 00:23:37,750
God, no!
414
00:23:38,793 --> 00:23:40,253
-What happened?
-I don’t know.
415
00:23:41,003 --> 00:23:43,256
We were out late last night,
Zach decided to anchor
416
00:23:43,339 --> 00:23:44,966
so we can get an early
start in the morning.
417
00:23:45,049 --> 00:23:47,260
He told me get some sleep
and he’d take the first watch,
418
00:23:47,343 --> 00:23:48,636
but he never woke me to relieve him.
419
00:23:49,345 --> 00:23:50,721
When I got up, he was just gone.
420
00:23:50,805 --> 00:23:51,973
What do you mean?
He just vanished from the boat?
421
00:23:52,056 --> 00:23:53,808
-Yes. I don’t know.
-How can that be?
422
00:23:53,891 --> 00:23:56,477
But I knew something terrible had happened
because the cabin’s been ripped apart.
423
00:23:56,561 --> 00:23:57,937
I called the coast guard,
they’re still out there.
424
00:23:58,020 --> 00:23:59,147
I wanna take a look around.
425
00:23:59,355 --> 00:24:03,776
[anticipatory music]
426
00:24:20,042 --> 00:24:21,794
[Mort] Somebody had a fight down there.
427
00:24:21,878 --> 00:24:23,004
A real Donnybrook.
428
00:24:23,671 --> 00:24:24,714
There’s something else.
429
00:24:26,382 --> 00:24:28,634
[mysterious anticipatory music]
430
00:24:31,262 --> 00:24:32,221
Mort.
431
00:24:32,471 --> 00:24:35,850
[tense dramatic music]
432
00:24:53,618 --> 00:24:55,870
[Wayne] I went to sleep
in the forward cabin.
433
00:24:56,162 --> 00:24:57,496
[Mort] I want the truth, Wayne.
434
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,041
[Wayne]
I told you. I don’t know what happened.
435
00:25:00,583 --> 00:25:03,211
We were alone on board, I went to sleep,
436
00:25:03,336 --> 00:25:06,881
when I woke up, Zach was just gone.
437
00:25:07,256 --> 00:25:08,090
Oh.
438
00:25:08,299 --> 00:25:10,760
I suppose Peter Pan took him
off to Never Neverland.
439
00:25:10,843 --> 00:25:11,802
Maybe we were boarded.
440
00:25:11,886 --> 00:25:12,970
By who, Captain Hook?
441
00:25:13,638 --> 00:25:15,139
No, Captain Ned Keller.
442
00:25:15,223 --> 00:25:17,266
He had an argument
with Zach three days ago.
443
00:25:17,350 --> 00:25:18,226
They hate each other.
444
00:25:18,309 --> 00:25:21,229
You expect me to believe
that Ned Keller sailed up to The Gretchen,
445
00:25:21,312 --> 00:25:22,230
boarded her,
446
00:25:22,438 --> 00:25:24,315
had a fight with Zach, stabbed him,
447
00:25:24,398 --> 00:25:25,274
threw him overboard,
448
00:25:25,358 --> 00:25:27,985
and then just sailed away
and you never heard a sound?
449
00:25:28,069 --> 00:25:29,820
Try spending a few years in prison, Mort.
450
00:25:30,196 --> 00:25:31,656
You’ll learn to sleep
through just about anything.
451
00:25:31,739 --> 00:25:33,491
Yeah, nice fairy tale.
452
00:25:33,574 --> 00:25:35,451
Only from where I stand, it stinks.
453
00:25:35,701 --> 00:25:38,371
Then do something about it,
cop, and get off my back.
454
00:25:38,537 --> 00:25:40,998
Sheriff, lab reports are in.
455
00:25:41,582 --> 00:25:44,752
Blood and tissue on the blade,
blood type matches Zach's.
456
00:25:44,835 --> 00:25:46,254
Any prints? None.
457
00:25:46,837 --> 00:25:47,964
Killer probably wore gloves.
458
00:25:50,716 --> 00:25:52,760
No motive, no fingerprints, no body.
459
00:25:53,261 --> 00:25:56,264
Now that’s what a defense lawyer
would call a real fairy tale.
460
00:25:58,099 --> 00:25:59,433
The evidence will come, Wayne.
461
00:25:59,850 --> 00:26:01,852
Like it always does with you.
462
00:26:01,936 --> 00:26:04,563
-Only this time you’re on your own.
-This time I'm innocent.
463
00:26:05,856 --> 00:26:06,983
Don’t try to leave town.
464
00:26:07,066 --> 00:26:08,442
Stay close to your hotel room.
465
00:26:11,237 --> 00:26:12,113
Andy, keep an eye on him.
466
00:26:12,196 --> 00:26:13,614
All right, Sir.
467
00:26:20,329 --> 00:26:21,205
Damn.
468
00:26:22,915 --> 00:26:26,002
[emotive music]
469
00:26:34,302 --> 00:26:35,469
[knocking at door]
470
00:26:44,186 --> 00:26:45,187
[Jessica] Oh, hello, Elaine.
471
00:26:45,271 --> 00:26:48,024
Mrs. Fletcher, please,
I know you’re a friend of Wayne’s
472
00:26:48,107 --> 00:26:49,275
and I've gotta talk to someone.
473
00:26:49,358 --> 00:26:51,277
Oh, of course, please, please come in.
474
00:26:52,737 --> 00:26:54,488
Mrs. Fletcher, I don’t know what to do.
475
00:26:55,281 --> 00:26:56,115
Sit down.
476
00:26:56,407 --> 00:26:57,616
I’m so sorry.
477
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,454
Your father’s death must have
been the most terrible shock.
478
00:27:02,163 --> 00:27:03,247
It’s not just that.
479
00:27:03,664 --> 00:27:07,293
It’s-- just before The Gretchen put out,
480
00:27:07,376 --> 00:27:09,420
Wayne and Dad got in a terrible fight.
481
00:27:09,503 --> 00:27:10,880
I mean, they practically came to blows.
482
00:27:10,963 --> 00:27:12,131
Oh, dear.
483
00:27:12,631 --> 00:27:14,008
And there’s something else.
484
00:27:15,801 --> 00:27:18,929
Dad kept 2,000 dollars
in a cash box on the boat.
485
00:27:20,139 --> 00:27:21,766
But when the police found the box,
486
00:27:21,932 --> 00:27:23,642
there were only
a few hundred dollars left.
487
00:27:23,726 --> 00:27:24,935
I didn’t tell anyone
488
00:27:25,019 --> 00:27:27,646
because I knew it would look
bad for Wayne. But--
489
00:27:27,730 --> 00:27:30,358
Someone has to tell the police about this.
490
00:27:30,566 --> 00:27:31,692
But I think you know that.
491
00:27:32,902 --> 00:27:33,736
Yes.
492
00:27:34,570 --> 00:27:36,572
And I know all the evidence is against it
493
00:27:36,655 --> 00:27:39,825
but I just can’t believe
that Wayne killed Dad.
494
00:27:39,950 --> 00:27:43,412
Elaine, you know,
evidence is like a jigsaw puzzle.
495
00:27:44,330 --> 00:27:46,707
You can’t see the whole picture
until it’s completed.
496
00:27:47,792 --> 00:27:52,588
But there are pieces of this puzzle
that... just don’t seem to fit.
497
00:27:52,671 --> 00:27:53,881
Two grand?
498
00:27:54,173 --> 00:27:56,258
All this for a lousy 2,000 bucks.
499
00:27:56,425 --> 00:27:57,968
We don’t know that yet.
500
00:27:58,219 --> 00:28:00,054
[telephone ringing]
501
00:28:00,262 --> 00:28:01,097
Metzger.
502
00:28:03,724 --> 00:28:04,725
I’ll be right there.
503
00:28:05,851 --> 00:28:07,144
Well, it’s the same old story.
504
00:28:07,603 --> 00:28:09,522
First the lies
and then he pulls his vanishing act.
505
00:28:09,605 --> 00:28:11,065
What are you talking about?
506
00:28:11,148 --> 00:28:13,275
There was a deputy I had
watching Wayne’s room.
507
00:28:14,110 --> 00:28:16,320
Apparently he slipped out
the back window and took off.
508
00:28:16,737 --> 00:28:17,988
Well, I'll tell you something,
Mrs. Fletcher,
509
00:28:18,739 --> 00:28:19,740
this is where it ends.
510
00:28:19,907 --> 00:28:24,412
-[mysterious dramatic music]
-[door slams]
511
00:28:37,633 --> 00:28:40,928
Elaine, I'm so sorry about your father.
512
00:28:41,011 --> 00:28:42,721
I know how close you two of you were.
513
00:28:43,514 --> 00:28:44,557
Thanks, Terry.
514
00:28:45,349 --> 00:28:49,937
Look, I know it’s not the best of times
but you can’t sell The Gretchen.
515
00:28:50,020 --> 00:28:50,855
Why?
516
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,274
Well, obviously,
your father never told you
517
00:28:53,357 --> 00:28:54,650
that I put up most of the money?
518
00:28:55,151 --> 00:28:58,154
He was supposed to make monthly payments,
simple truth is he never did.
519
00:28:58,737 --> 00:29:00,072
Dad said you were equal partners.
520
00:29:00,156 --> 00:29:03,659
Well, we were,
but he kept putting off the payments
521
00:29:03,742 --> 00:29:06,078
and I let him slide because of friendship.
522
00:29:06,162 --> 00:29:09,665
Elaine, The Gretchen is mine.
Now I'll buy your share.
523
00:29:09,748 --> 00:29:12,168
I know it can’t be too much
but under the circumstances,
524
00:29:12,251 --> 00:29:13,419
anything will help.
525
00:29:13,502 --> 00:29:15,337
-You can’t do this.
-[Terry] Yes, I can.
526
00:29:16,255 --> 00:29:19,216
I’ve got the paperwork,
Zach's promissory note.
527
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,178
Be smart, take the money.
528
00:29:22,595 --> 00:29:24,138
Zach would have wanted it that way.
529
00:29:25,431 --> 00:29:28,893
[anticipatory music]
530
00:29:39,695 --> 00:29:40,696
Hope I'm not intruding.
531
00:29:41,489 --> 00:29:43,365
No, not at all. [sighs]
532
00:29:44,575 --> 00:29:45,784
You know what really kills me?
533
00:29:47,286 --> 00:29:49,705
I actually let myself believe
that this time maybe,
534
00:29:49,830 --> 00:29:52,416
just maybe, he really wanted to change.
535
00:29:52,541 --> 00:29:54,168
Well, aren’t you being a little premature?
536
00:29:54,668 --> 00:29:56,420
People who aren’t guilty
don’t sneak out back windows,
537
00:29:56,504 --> 00:29:57,546
it’s as simple as that.
538
00:29:57,630 --> 00:29:59,507
Maybe he felt he he’d already been judged.
539
00:30:00,591 --> 00:30:03,511
Forgive me,
but you haven’t been exactly supportive.
540
00:30:04,178 --> 00:30:06,639
I wish I had a nickel for every time
I tried to support Wayne.
541
00:30:07,014 --> 00:30:09,016
I’d be driving
one of those German sports cars.
542
00:30:10,976 --> 00:30:13,521
You see, when I made sergeant
back in New York,
543
00:30:13,604 --> 00:30:15,439
Wayne started running around
with a bunch of punks.
544
00:30:16,273 --> 00:30:18,025
Small stuff at first, petty larceny,
545
00:30:18,484 --> 00:30:19,777
con games, numbers,
546
00:30:20,736 --> 00:30:22,446
but it kept on getting worse and worse.
547
00:30:23,614 --> 00:30:26,450
Then, a few years ago something happened
that turned my life upside down.
548
00:30:27,243 --> 00:30:30,204
It was during a raid
on a major fencing operation.
549
00:30:31,247 --> 00:30:34,416
Here I was,
standing in an alley full of garbage cans,
550
00:30:34,500 --> 00:30:36,418
while the rest of my unit
went in the front door.
551
00:30:36,502 --> 00:30:38,295
All of a sudden, someone shot out the back
552
00:30:38,379 --> 00:30:40,464
like they were being chased
by the hounds of hell.
553
00:30:40,548 --> 00:30:42,174
So I drew down on him, "Freeze!"
554
00:30:42,508 --> 00:30:43,342
And he did.
555
00:30:46,345 --> 00:30:47,596
Do you have any idea what it’s like
556
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,015
looking at your baby brother
over the barrel of a .38?
557
00:30:53,394 --> 00:30:54,228
I’m sorry.
558
00:30:56,897 --> 00:30:57,898
I had one second...
559
00:30:58,816 --> 00:31:01,026
to make a decision
that would change my life forever.
560
00:31:02,236 --> 00:31:03,862
Don’t ask me why, but I heard a voice.
561
00:31:05,155 --> 00:31:07,658
My voice, saying, "Run, go, get out."
562
00:31:08,158 --> 00:31:08,993
And he did.
563
00:31:10,035 --> 00:31:11,495
He got outta there like a scared rabbit.
564
00:31:12,162 --> 00:31:15,082
I thought he’d learned a lesson
that he’d never forget.
565
00:31:15,666 --> 00:31:17,585
Three weeks later,
he was arrested for being a wheel man
566
00:31:17,668 --> 00:31:18,836
in a jewelry heist.
567
00:31:20,045 --> 00:31:22,590
One of his pals
shot the guard inside the store
568
00:31:22,673 --> 00:31:24,174
and they sent Wayne to prison.
569
00:31:25,801 --> 00:31:26,844
That was three years ago.
570
00:31:26,927 --> 00:31:30,264
Then it wasn’t job burnout
that brought you up here to Cabot Cove?
571
00:31:30,806 --> 00:31:34,184
[Mort] I had knowingly helped a criminal
escape the scene of a crime.
572
00:31:34,685 --> 00:31:37,563
Every time I pinned on my badge,
I felt like a fraud.
573
00:31:39,398 --> 00:31:40,566
I know I couldn’t stay there.
574
00:31:42,151 --> 00:31:43,027
So, I came here.
575
00:31:44,570 --> 00:31:45,654
Started a new life.
576
00:31:48,073 --> 00:31:49,199
All of a sudden he shows up
577
00:31:49,283 --> 00:31:50,826
and it’s happening all over again.
578
00:31:50,909 --> 00:31:52,661
Do you know
what is your problem is, Sheriff?
579
00:31:52,953 --> 00:31:55,748
You’re being betrayed
by your own emotions.
580
00:31:56,332 --> 00:31:59,168
You’re not seeing Wayne
through the eyes of a policeman.
581
00:31:59,793 --> 00:32:02,087
All you’re seeing is your younger brother,
582
00:32:02,838 --> 00:32:06,216
who has brought you a tremendous amount
of disappointment and pain.
583
00:32:07,843 --> 00:32:12,473
Now, the law says that a man is innocent
until he is proven guilty.
584
00:32:12,556 --> 00:32:17,144
And the Mort Metzger that I know
has always applied that fairly,
585
00:32:17,227 --> 00:32:19,813
regardless of his own opinion.
586
00:32:21,148 --> 00:32:22,691
Mrs. F, I really need your help.
587
00:32:24,401 --> 00:32:28,947
[anticipatory music]
588
00:32:36,330 --> 00:32:37,289
[Mort] What a mess.
589
00:32:38,123 --> 00:32:40,125
How could anybody
on the boat not hear this?
590
00:32:40,584 --> 00:32:42,961
But what is odd
is that there’s no blood in here,
591
00:32:43,128 --> 00:32:44,088
only out on deck.
592
00:32:44,546 --> 00:32:47,299
Which means the fight started
in here and ended up outside.
593
00:32:47,508 --> 00:32:49,343
Zach’s killer stabbed him
and threw him overboard.
594
00:32:49,927 --> 00:32:52,805
Well, what we do know is,
Wayne was not involved in this struggle.
595
00:32:53,389 --> 00:32:54,223
How do we know that?
596
00:32:54,306 --> 00:32:56,975
Well, when The Gretchen pulled in,
Wayne was frightened,
597
00:32:57,059 --> 00:32:59,395
but he didn’t show any signs
of having been in a fight.
598
00:32:59,478 --> 00:33:01,563
I mean, he had no cuts
from this broken glass,
599
00:33:01,647 --> 00:33:03,315
no bruises on his face and hands.
600
00:33:04,942 --> 00:33:07,486
Which could indicate
that there was somebody else on the boat.
601
00:33:07,569 --> 00:33:09,780
-Keller.
-Ned Keller?
602
00:33:09,863 --> 00:33:11,615
Wayne told me Ned and Zach had a fight.
603
00:33:11,699 --> 00:33:14,118
Well, it’s no secret
those two weren’t the best of friends.
604
00:33:14,201 --> 00:33:15,327
Wayne tried to tell me.
605
00:33:17,037 --> 00:33:18,747
I guess I really wasn’t listening to him.
606
00:33:19,331 --> 00:33:20,708
Well, you’re listing now.
607
00:33:21,834 --> 00:33:23,544
Think we better have
a talk with Ned Keller.
608
00:33:29,633 --> 00:33:31,385
-[radio crackles]
-[cop] Sheriff Metzger?
609
00:33:31,468 --> 00:33:32,511
[radio crackles] Metzger.
610
00:33:32,594 --> 00:33:34,304
[cop] You got a callfrom Terry Montagne.
611
00:33:34,388 --> 00:33:36,348
He says he knowswho killed Zach Franklin.
612
00:33:36,432 --> 00:33:38,600
Says you should get
to his house on the double.
613
00:33:38,684 --> 00:33:40,102
On my way.
614
00:33:40,185 --> 00:33:41,019
Terry Montagne?
615
00:33:41,562 --> 00:33:43,689
I think I've heard the name,
but I'm not really familiar with him.
616
00:33:43,772 --> 00:33:44,857
Well, he’s sort of a mystery man.
617
00:33:44,940 --> 00:33:48,444
People say he was a mercenary once,
soldier of fortune in Southeast Asia.
618
00:33:48,527 --> 00:33:51,238
He and Zach were partners in The Gretchen
although you’d never know it.
619
00:33:51,321 --> 00:33:52,197
Come on, let’s go.
620
00:33:52,281 --> 00:33:54,533
[anticipatory music]
621
00:34:01,999 --> 00:34:02,958
[Mort] That’s it.
622
00:34:06,462 --> 00:34:07,504
-Wayne.
-[tires screeching]
623
00:34:07,588 --> 00:34:09,089
What the hell is he doing here?
624
00:34:09,256 --> 00:34:13,051
[dramatic anticipatory music]
625
00:34:24,438 --> 00:34:29,067
[dramatic music]
626
00:34:33,155 --> 00:34:34,156
This is the sheriff.
627
00:34:35,032 --> 00:34:36,992
Put on an APB on Wayne Metzger,
628
00:34:38,118 --> 00:34:42,581
M-E-T-Z-G-E-R. Charge is murder.
629
00:34:50,923 --> 00:34:55,511
[dramatic music]
630
00:35:10,108 --> 00:35:11,777
[gasps] Wayne! Oh, my God.
631
00:35:11,860 --> 00:35:13,612
Sorry, I'm sorry.
I didn’t mean to scare you.
632
00:35:14,196 --> 00:35:15,405
The police were here last night.
633
00:35:15,739 --> 00:35:17,491
-They said you killed Terry Montagne.
-No!
634
00:35:17,950 --> 00:35:19,576
I went over to his house,
but I didn’t kill him.
635
00:35:19,660 --> 00:35:22,663
-He was already dead when I got there.
-Wayne, they said you ran away.
636
00:35:22,746 --> 00:35:24,373
What else could I do in the face
of everything that's happened?
637
00:35:24,456 --> 00:35:26,458
You could have called Sheriff Metzger.
638
00:35:26,542 --> 00:35:29,002
Yeah, and spend the rest
of my life rotting in jail?
639
00:35:29,586 --> 00:35:31,880
I’ve tried talking to Sheriff Metzger
and that doesn’t work.
640
00:35:34,591 --> 00:35:37,845
Elaine... I need your help, please.
641
00:35:38,846 --> 00:35:39,680
I don’t know what to do.
642
00:35:39,763 --> 00:35:42,015
I need a place to hide
until I can figure this out.
643
00:35:43,892 --> 00:35:46,895
[xxx music]
644
00:36:04,621 --> 00:36:06,373
[gasps] Oh, you startled me.
645
00:36:06,456 --> 00:36:08,208
I thought I'd find you here, Mrs. F.
646
00:36:08,292 --> 00:36:10,711
You know, you shouldn’t be sneaking
around boats all by yourself.
647
00:36:10,794 --> 00:36:13,255
Well, I'm not sneaking around.
648
00:36:14,006 --> 00:36:16,675
-Did you speak to Ned Keller?
-[Mort] Yeah, dead end.
649
00:36:16,758 --> 00:36:18,468
Oh, he admits to having a fight with Zach,
all right,
650
00:36:18,552 --> 00:36:21,430
but he can account for every minute
during the night of the murder.
651
00:36:22,055 --> 00:36:24,558
Well, now,
that leaves the matter of Zach's estate.
652
00:36:24,641 --> 00:36:25,726
Did you check on that?
653
00:36:26,018 --> 00:36:27,686
Well, he didn’t have any family
except for Elaine.
654
00:36:27,769 --> 00:36:29,438
She gets the warehouse and,
655
00:36:29,855 --> 00:36:31,148
now that Terry Montagne's
out of the picture,
656
00:36:31,231 --> 00:36:32,524
full interest in The Gretchen.
657
00:36:32,608 --> 00:36:34,401
-Kind of an odd thing, though.
-What was that?
658
00:36:34,484 --> 00:36:37,821
Well, it turns out Zach had
a pretty healthy life insurance policy,
659
00:36:37,905 --> 00:36:39,156
pretty recent, too.
660
00:36:39,781 --> 00:36:42,075
Little Elaine is gonna come in
to a nice chunk of money.
661
00:36:44,828 --> 00:36:45,913
Hey, you don’t think that--
662
00:36:45,996 --> 00:36:48,749
Well, let’s just say
it’s an interesting part of the puzzle.
663
00:36:53,253 --> 00:36:55,672
[Mort] Mrs. F, we’ve been over this boat
with a fine toothed comb.
664
00:36:57,549 --> 00:36:59,217
[Jessica] Ah, just what I was looking for.
665
00:36:59,509 --> 00:37:00,636
[Mort] What have you got?
666
00:37:02,095 --> 00:37:03,680
[Jessica] The blue prints for this boat.
667
00:37:07,142 --> 00:37:08,268
What are you, uh--
668
00:37:13,941 --> 00:37:15,067
Yeah, that checks out.
669
00:37:15,484 --> 00:37:17,194
What, you mean
you can estimate it that close?
670
00:37:17,611 --> 00:37:18,820
Well, of course, why not?
671
00:37:21,531 --> 00:37:22,783
Do you mind telling me what you’re doing
672
00:37:22,866 --> 00:37:24,493
or do I have to wait
for divine revelation?
673
00:37:25,035 --> 00:37:26,828
I’m looking for a hiding place.
674
00:37:27,746 --> 00:37:28,622
Aha!
675
00:37:28,956 --> 00:37:29,915
Aha, what?
676
00:37:30,290 --> 00:37:31,917
Well, according to this blue print,
677
00:37:32,209 --> 00:37:34,962
this hold is 4 feet short.
678
00:37:35,545 --> 00:37:37,214
What do you mean?
Somebody built a fake wall?
679
00:37:37,339 --> 00:37:39,257
-[knocking]
-Well, in nautical terms,
680
00:37:39,341 --> 00:37:41,218
I think it’s referred to as a bulkhead.
681
00:37:41,426 --> 00:37:43,637
[knocking]
682
00:37:44,763 --> 00:37:45,806
[Mort grunts]
683
00:37:48,767 --> 00:37:51,311
-[door creaking]
-[mysterious music]
684
00:37:51,478 --> 00:37:52,688
[Jessica] Won’t you look at that.
685
00:37:52,771 --> 00:37:54,856
[Mort] What do we know,
just like a haunted house.
686
00:38:07,285 --> 00:38:08,912
Anything strike you as significant?
687
00:38:08,996 --> 00:38:10,998
Oh, looks like distribution codes.
688
00:38:11,081 --> 00:38:14,209
Like something the Medellin Cartel uses
in drug shipments.
689
00:38:14,292 --> 00:38:18,463
[dramatic music]
690
00:38:24,219 --> 00:38:25,554
[Mort] Wayne was telling the truth.
691
00:38:25,846 --> 00:38:27,347
Zach’s killer must have hidden in here.
692
00:38:27,931 --> 00:38:29,099
[Jessica] Yes and no.
693
00:38:29,599 --> 00:38:32,936
Did you say that Elaine got The Gretchen
and the warehouse in the will?
694
00:38:33,145 --> 00:38:35,647
Yeah, boat storage, marine supplies,
that sort of stuff. Why?
695
00:38:36,023 --> 00:38:37,607
Mort, we may not have much time.
696
00:38:48,076 --> 00:38:49,036
Thanks, that helped.
697
00:38:49,453 --> 00:38:52,539
There’s a couch back there
Dad used to use when he stayed over.
698
00:38:52,706 --> 00:38:53,957
Um you can get some rest.
699
00:38:54,332 --> 00:38:55,709
I’ll get out of here as soon as I can.
700
00:38:55,792 --> 00:38:58,503
I don’t wanna cause you any more trouble,
I've caused you enough already.
701
00:38:58,587 --> 00:39:00,422
Well, you haven’t heard me complain,
have you?
702
00:39:01,798 --> 00:39:04,551
[sexy music]
703
00:39:06,803 --> 00:39:08,930
Now go lie down, you look exhausted.
704
00:39:11,475 --> 00:39:15,353
[dramatic music]
705
00:39:22,736 --> 00:39:25,155
[anticipatory music]
706
00:39:46,426 --> 00:39:47,636
-[Elaine gasps]
-Elaine.
707
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:50,180
Mrs. Fletcher, uh,
what, what are you doing here?
708
00:39:50,263 --> 00:39:52,432
I’m sorry to say
that we’re looking for a killer.
709
00:39:52,516 --> 00:39:54,059
Uh, but Wayne isn’t here.
710
00:39:54,142 --> 00:39:56,394
Not Wayne, the real killer.
711
00:39:58,355 --> 00:40:01,316
Terry Montagne was the majority owner
of The Gretchen, wasn’t he?
712
00:40:01,399 --> 00:40:02,692
Well, yes.
713
00:40:02,776 --> 00:40:04,778
I didn’t find out about it
until yesterday,
714
00:40:05,278 --> 00:40:07,906
but Terry said
that he put up most of the money
715
00:40:07,989 --> 00:40:10,283
and Dad was supposed
to pay him back, but never did.
716
00:40:10,867 --> 00:40:12,994
Well,
I'm afraid that’s not quite accurate.
717
00:40:13,078 --> 00:40:15,705
Zach paid him but not in money.
718
00:40:15,789 --> 00:40:17,499
The Gretchen was used to smuggle drugs.
719
00:40:17,582 --> 00:40:19,084
That’s impossible.
720
00:40:19,209 --> 00:40:21,086
Dad would never do anything like that.
721
00:40:21,294 --> 00:40:22,921
He may not have had any choice, Elaine.
722
00:40:23,004 --> 00:40:25,590
It’s my guess that Terry Montagne
financed the boat,
723
00:40:25,882 --> 00:40:28,802
then coerced your father into smuggling
to pay off his share.
724
00:40:29,386 --> 00:40:31,346
No doubt,
Zach thought once the debt was clear
725
00:40:31,429 --> 00:40:33,473
he could quit,
but that’s not how it happened.
726
00:40:34,057 --> 00:40:35,100
[chuckles] This is crazy.
727
00:40:35,267 --> 00:40:38,061
I heard them arguing about money
the day I brought Wayne to the boat.
728
00:40:38,145 --> 00:40:41,940
Zach was looking for a way out
and he didn’t have too many options.
729
00:40:42,774 --> 00:40:45,068
Then Wayne came along
and that’s when he made his decision.
730
00:40:45,152 --> 00:40:46,319
What decision?
731
00:40:46,570 --> 00:40:47,696
To stage his own death,
732
00:40:48,530 --> 00:40:51,324
kill Terry Montagne
and frame Wayne for it.
733
00:40:53,326 --> 00:40:56,037
Your father told Wayne to go
get some sleep in the forward cabin.
734
00:40:56,413 --> 00:40:59,082
He said he’d anchor
and take the first watch himself.
735
00:40:59,166 --> 00:41:03,378
Next, he went out on deck and cut himself
with Wayne’s knife.
736
00:41:03,962 --> 00:41:07,883
Then hid the knife in a place
you’d have to blind not to find it.
737
00:41:08,550 --> 00:41:10,468
To make it appear
as if Wayne had stabbed him
738
00:41:10,552 --> 00:41:11,887
and tossed him overboard.
739
00:41:12,804 --> 00:41:15,849
Then he bandaged his own arm
and came back in.
740
00:41:16,141 --> 00:41:18,185
He wanted it to look
like there’d been a struggle,
741
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:20,145
so he wrecked the cabin.
742
00:41:20,645 --> 00:41:25,192
Then he hidin the secret compartment
he used to carrythe drug shipments.
743
00:41:26,276 --> 00:41:29,237
He waited there until a boat docked
and it was safe to leave.
744
00:41:30,322 --> 00:41:33,491
[Zach] You always were too damn clever,
Jessica Fletcher.
745
00:41:33,575 --> 00:41:35,535
[Elaine] Dad? Oh, my God.
746
00:41:36,036 --> 00:41:37,662
Put the gun down, Zach. It’s all over.
747
00:41:37,746 --> 00:41:39,372
Stay where you are, Mort.
748
00:41:40,415 --> 00:41:42,209
Now you wouldn’t want anybody
to get hurt, would you?
749
00:41:43,168 --> 00:41:44,252
Then it’s true?
750
00:41:44,669 --> 00:41:45,795
Everything they said?
751
00:41:45,879 --> 00:41:47,130
I had no choice.
752
00:41:48,465 --> 00:41:49,966
When Terry and I became partners,
753
00:41:50,091 --> 00:41:51,718
he never said anything about smuggling.
754
00:41:52,344 --> 00:41:53,762
By the time I found out, it was too late.
755
00:41:54,512 --> 00:41:56,473
Your mother was sick,
you needed the college money.
756
00:41:56,973 --> 00:41:59,517
Fishing was the worst it’d been in years,
so I went along,
757
00:42:00,227 --> 00:42:02,520
figuring as soon as I could pay him off
of my share the boat,
758
00:42:02,604 --> 00:42:03,438
it’d be over.
759
00:42:04,189 --> 00:42:05,190
You know what happened?
760
00:42:05,815 --> 00:42:07,442
He laughed in my face.
761
00:42:08,193 --> 00:42:10,987
He says if I try to quit,
something would happen to you.
762
00:42:11,071 --> 00:42:12,614
That’s when you decided to kill him.
763
00:42:12,697 --> 00:42:14,991
That’s exactly when, Mrs. Fletcher.
764
00:42:15,075 --> 00:42:16,826
But you knew you’d be the prime suspect,
765
00:42:17,452 --> 00:42:18,745
unless you were dead, too.
766
00:42:18,828 --> 00:42:20,413
[Mort] So, you cooked up your little plan.
767
00:42:20,872 --> 00:42:22,582
All you needed was the right fall guy
768
00:42:23,083 --> 00:42:26,002
and who could be more perfect than Wayne,
an ex-convict.
769
00:42:26,086 --> 00:42:27,295
Oh, Dad.
770
00:42:27,462 --> 00:42:33,301
Elaine, with Terry dead, The Gretchen,
the whole business would be all yours.
771
00:42:33,885 --> 00:42:36,554
I even took out extra life insurance
to make sure you’d be okay.
772
00:42:37,889 --> 00:42:38,807
And then what, Zach?
773
00:42:38,890 --> 00:42:40,934
Were you gonna hide
for the rest of your life?
774
00:42:41,017 --> 00:42:42,769
Not as hard as you might think,
Mrs. Fletcher.
775
00:42:42,936 --> 00:42:45,480
I know places in Mexico
where the fishing is good
776
00:42:45,563 --> 00:42:48,817
and nobody cares who you are
or where you came from.
777
00:42:49,484 --> 00:42:51,486
But first you have to deal with us.
778
00:42:51,569 --> 00:42:53,029
So, what’s it gonna be, Zach?
What are you gonna do?
779
00:42:53,113 --> 00:42:54,447
Shoot us down
right in front of your own daughter?
780
00:42:54,531 --> 00:42:56,950
Looks like I don’t have
any other option, Mort.
781
00:42:57,033 --> 00:42:57,951
[Wayne] No!
782
00:42:59,035 --> 00:43:00,745
-[men grunting]
-[gunshot]
783
00:43:07,043 --> 00:43:07,877
[Mort] Wayne.
784
00:43:08,503 --> 00:43:09,587
Oh, God, please no.
785
00:43:12,048 --> 00:43:13,633
God, please no.
786
00:43:14,217 --> 00:43:16,845
Hey, big brother, are you still mad at me?
787
00:43:17,262 --> 00:43:18,096
Call an ambulance.
788
00:43:19,556 --> 00:43:20,974
Somebody, please, call an ambulance.
789
00:43:31,151 --> 00:43:32,610
-Hi.
-Hi.
790
00:43:33,069 --> 00:43:36,906
I, uh... I was patrolling in the area.
791
00:43:36,990 --> 00:43:37,824
How are you doing?
792
00:43:38,241 --> 00:43:39,075
Better.
793
00:43:39,617 --> 00:43:41,536
Doc says I should be
on my feet in no time.
794
00:43:42,203 --> 00:43:43,121
That’s good. I, uh--
795
00:43:45,206 --> 00:43:47,459
Look, I got another job for you
on a fishing boat.
796
00:43:48,835 --> 00:43:49,669
That is if you want it.
797
00:43:49,753 --> 00:43:51,421
We’ve been through
a lot lately, haven’t we?
798
00:43:51,796 --> 00:43:52,630
[Mort] Yeah, we have.
799
00:43:53,548 --> 00:43:55,216
And I guess I didn’t
it make it any easier.
800
00:43:56,051 --> 00:43:57,969
I didn’t have any right
to expect anything else.
801
00:43:58,053 --> 00:43:58,887
[Mort] Yes, you did.
802
00:43:58,970 --> 00:43:59,971
I’m your brother.
803
00:44:03,016 --> 00:44:04,184
And I'm sorry.
804
00:44:04,809 --> 00:44:06,978
[emotive music]
805
00:44:09,314 --> 00:44:10,565
It’s been three years.
806
00:44:14,819 --> 00:44:15,653
I missed you, kid.
807
00:44:17,364 --> 00:44:18,365
I missed you, too.
808
00:44:25,163 --> 00:44:27,749
How is my patient supposed to recover
809
00:44:28,333 --> 00:44:30,752
with you squeezing the daylights
out of him, Sheriff?
810
00:44:30,835 --> 00:44:33,129
Mrs. Fletcher, I wanna thank you
for believing in me.
811
00:44:33,838 --> 00:44:35,256
I’m not even sure why you did.
812
00:44:35,882 --> 00:44:39,552
Well, it just didn’t make any sense
that a man would kill someone,
813
00:44:39,636 --> 00:44:42,555
radio the coast guard,
then come back into port
814
00:44:42,722 --> 00:44:44,432
with the murder weapon in full sight.
815
00:44:45,308 --> 00:44:49,145
But beyond that,
maybe there was a touch of intuition.
816
00:44:50,563 --> 00:44:51,898
Yeah, what I don’t understand is
817
00:44:52,565 --> 00:44:54,067
what were you doing
at Terry Montagne's house?
818
00:44:54,150 --> 00:44:57,654
I got a message that I should go there
if I wanted proof I didn’t kill Zach.
819
00:44:57,737 --> 00:45:00,824
A message that was obviously
sent by Zach and not Montagne.
820
00:45:00,907 --> 00:45:03,451
He timed it so I'd be there
when you showed up.
821
00:45:03,952 --> 00:45:05,537
When I saw you, I panicked and ran.
822
00:45:05,620 --> 00:45:09,082
Now, that’s enough of the third degree
for one day, Sheriff.
823
00:45:09,749 --> 00:45:11,584
You’ll have
this young man’s blood pressure
824
00:45:11,668 --> 00:45:13,211
doing handstands at the red.
825
00:45:14,087 --> 00:45:15,171
Well, now you are a fine one
826
00:45:15,255 --> 00:45:17,757
to be talking about being in the red,
Doctor?
827
00:45:17,841 --> 00:45:18,800
I know.
828
00:45:19,384 --> 00:45:20,885
So, uh, here.
829
00:45:20,969 --> 00:45:22,095
Now we’re square.
830
00:45:22,679 --> 00:45:24,764
-What’s this?
-Bill for my services.
831
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:28,852
Wayne here took that bullet
in your behalf, you know.
832
00:45:29,519 --> 00:45:32,647
Good Samaritan law suggests
that you pay his expenses,
833
00:45:32,730 --> 00:45:34,816
minus what I owe you.
834
00:45:34,899 --> 00:45:38,278
Well, I figured, possibly,
70 dollars from you
835
00:45:38,361 --> 00:45:39,988
and we’d be dead even.
836
00:45:41,865 --> 00:45:47,745
