1
00:00:01,001 --> 00:00:02,795
[Jessica] Tonight on Murder, She Wrote.
2
00:00:02,962 --> 00:00:04,255
Get out!
3
00:00:04,422 --> 00:00:06,132
Try your extortion tactics on this one,
4
00:00:06,298 --> 00:00:07,800
and Ben Forman is history around here.
5
00:00:07,967 --> 00:00:10,970
Murdered in his bathtub
by electrocution, no less.
6
00:00:11,137 --> 00:00:12,722
My God, that was brilliant.
7
00:00:12,888 --> 00:00:15,307
I’m gonna spend
as much as it takes to bury you.
8
00:00:15,474 --> 00:00:17,393
Consider yourself fortunate, Hans.
9
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:19,729
He’s being uncharacteristically gentle.
10
00:00:19,895 --> 00:00:22,648
I was home alone
at the time of the murder.
11
00:00:22,732 --> 00:00:23,691
I hope that’s true.
12
00:00:23,858 --> 00:00:26,986
Listen, wuss, if I wanna hear anything
from you, I’ll ask, all right?
13
00:00:27,153 --> 00:00:29,655
What I’d like to do is
put a contract out on Forman.
14
00:00:29,822 --> 00:00:32,825
And then, you reread
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
15
00:00:33,826 --> 00:00:34,785
What are you, stupid?
16
00:00:35,286 --> 00:00:37,663
The worst thing that’ll happen is
he’ll have us taken out and shot.
17
00:01:43,979 --> 00:01:47,274
[man] Carter, you see the numbers
your way, I see the numbers my way.
18
00:01:47,441 --> 00:01:51,695
I know, but, look, Kane’s offer is not
gonna stay on the table forever.
19
00:01:51,862 --> 00:01:53,614
And it’s an insult.
20
00:01:53,781 --> 00:01:55,741
We are not gonna be new kids
on the block much longer.
21
00:01:55,908 --> 00:01:58,410
-Advertising dollars are up, circulation--
-Inching.
22
00:01:58,577 --> 00:02:01,997
Dean, the bankers, their smoke detectors
are whistling a big N-O.
23
00:02:02,164 --> 00:02:04,959
-[intercom buzzing]
-[Dean] Yes?
24
00:02:05,125 --> 00:02:07,378
[woman] Gary Mannion on line one.
25
00:02:07,545 --> 00:02:09,755
Oh, how did I get so lucky?
26
00:02:09,922 --> 00:02:12,675
Look, Carter, you’re the one
who thought it would be neat
27
00:02:12,842 --> 00:02:14,885
-to get into magazine publishing, right?
-Yeah.
28
00:02:15,052 --> 00:02:17,596
Did I or did I not
warn you of all the realities
29
00:02:17,763 --> 00:02:19,306
long before you ever wrote out a check?
30
00:02:19,473 --> 00:02:21,016
-Yeah.
-Right.
31
00:02:21,183 --> 00:02:23,018
So if the bankers are not
gonna write us a new loan,
32
00:02:23,185 --> 00:02:25,312
you’ve got to dip into
that trust fund again, okay?
33
00:02:25,479 --> 00:02:27,898
Come on, I got a lot of work to do.
34
00:02:28,065 --> 00:02:29,650
What, Mannion?
35
00:02:29,817 --> 00:02:31,652
Upon my soul, the man’s warmth
36
00:02:31,819 --> 00:02:33,988
is exceeded only by
his eagerness to hear my voice.
37
00:02:34,154 --> 00:02:35,698
Please, get to the point.
38
00:02:35,865 --> 00:02:39,326
Calling to find out how Ben Forman did
with the JB Fletcher piece.
39
00:02:39,493 --> 00:02:41,203
-How conscientious. He didn’t.
-Say what?
40
00:02:41,370 --> 00:02:42,913
What I’m saying is,
41
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,165
if he screws up again,
I will never hire him again.
42
00:02:45,332 --> 00:02:47,918
And I’ll probably never hire
one of your writers again.
43
00:02:48,085 --> 00:02:49,378
I’ll talk to him.
44
00:02:49,545 --> 00:02:51,505
Please do, because I’d rather not.
45
00:02:51,672 --> 00:02:53,841
Truth is, if that young neurotic wasn’t
such a good writer,
46
00:02:54,008 --> 00:02:55,426
and wasn’t represented
by the biggest pain in the neck
47
00:02:55,593 --> 00:02:57,344
in town, he couldn’t get arrested.
48
00:02:57,511 --> 00:02:59,930
One more word
and I’ll pull him off the story.
49
00:03:00,097 --> 00:03:05,436
Just remind him our deadline is Friday,
3:00 p.m. and I’m holding you responsible.
50
00:03:05,603 --> 00:03:08,981
Thank you... Agents.
51
00:03:09,148 --> 00:03:10,566
No, no, no, no, no.
52
00:03:10,733 --> 00:03:12,192
We have to do something with her hair.
53
00:03:12,359 --> 00:03:14,361
-We’ll have to reshoot.
-Then reshoot.
54
00:03:14,528 --> 00:03:16,322
And I hate this headline.
55
00:03:16,488 --> 00:03:18,282
I want something sexier,
something that reaches out, pulls you in.
56
00:03:18,449 --> 00:03:20,534
Okay, but the Goldberg story--
57
00:03:20,701 --> 00:03:23,370
Ellen, it’ll have to wait. I’m late.
58
00:03:27,291 --> 00:03:30,377
Mr. Forman, is there something
I can help you with?
59
00:03:30,544 --> 00:03:32,671
I had these notes from my research.
60
00:03:32,838 --> 00:03:36,216
-A list of questions.
-Oh, of course.
61
00:03:36,383 --> 00:03:38,135
Oh, wait. Here.
62
00:03:38,302 --> 00:03:40,429
Is this what you’re looking for?
63
00:03:40,596 --> 00:03:42,890
Yes, yes. Thank you.
64
00:03:44,683 --> 00:03:45,976
So, you were saying...
65
00:03:46,143 --> 00:03:48,228
Oh, yeah. What was it?
66
00:03:48,395 --> 00:03:50,481
Oh, yes, that puzzles and books,
67
00:03:50,648 --> 00:03:52,942
I think, are what really led me to--
68
00:03:53,108 --> 00:03:54,735
Excuse me, Mrs. Fletcher.
69
00:03:54,902 --> 00:03:56,403
This thing doesn’t seem to be recording.
70
00:03:56,570 --> 00:03:58,530
Could it be the batteries?
71
00:03:58,697 --> 00:03:59,907
Yes, that must be it.
72
00:04:00,074 --> 00:04:03,744
I have a fresh set right here.
It’ll only take a minute.
73
00:04:03,911 --> 00:04:05,412
Oh! Hold everything. I’ll be right back.
74
00:04:05,579 --> 00:04:07,247
Oh, God, I don’t believe this.
75
00:04:08,707 --> 00:04:10,751
I think we’ll have to make this--
76
00:04:10,918 --> 00:04:12,461
I’ll just take it longhand.
77
00:04:15,422 --> 00:04:17,383
Uh, now, my next question is,
78
00:04:17,549 --> 00:04:19,551
how long does it take you
79
00:04:19,718 --> 00:04:22,388
from the time that you get an idea
to the finished novel?
80
00:04:22,554 --> 00:04:25,849
Ben, I’m afraid
I’m gonna have to leave for my meeting.
81
00:04:26,016 --> 00:04:28,185
Oh, right.
82
00:04:28,352 --> 00:04:30,020
How’s your time tomorrow?
83
00:04:30,187 --> 00:04:32,940
Crowded. I have meetings all day,
all over town.
84
00:04:33,107 --> 00:04:35,234
Well, maybe I could tag along with you.
85
00:04:35,401 --> 00:04:38,070
Well, if you like. I suppose so, sure.
86
00:04:38,237 --> 00:04:39,947
That’d be great.
87
00:04:40,114 --> 00:04:42,324
I get some of my best profiles
that way, on the run.
88
00:04:42,491 --> 00:04:44,076
A lot of energy.
89
00:04:48,664 --> 00:04:52,793
[Dean] My father insisted
that I never had anything to prove.
90
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,754
If he insisted, he certainly did it
when I was out of earshot.
91
00:04:55,921 --> 00:04:58,674
Perhaps you weren’t listening.
92
00:04:58,841 --> 00:05:00,592
Don’t waste your breath, Jessica.
93
00:05:00,759 --> 00:05:01,719
It’s a lost cause.
94
00:05:01,885 --> 00:05:03,929
Okay, okay, okay.
95
00:05:04,096 --> 00:05:07,307
Anyway, I’m very grateful
you’re allowing us to do this profile.
96
00:05:07,474 --> 00:05:09,810
Well, I wish I was as convinced as you are
97
00:05:09,977 --> 00:05:11,562
that your readers are gonna
find it that interesting.
98
00:05:11,729 --> 00:05:15,524
Anyway, Ben Forman, no problem.
99
00:05:15,691 --> 00:05:17,067
In fact...
100
00:05:17,234 --> 00:05:19,236
I find him a delight.
101
00:05:19,403 --> 00:05:24,366
I have to run, darling.
Three photo shoots and a looping session.
102
00:05:24,533 --> 00:05:25,909
Dean, stop.
103
00:05:26,076 --> 00:05:27,870
I’m flavor of the month.
104
00:05:28,037 --> 00:05:30,289
-Bye, Jessica.
-Have a good day, Kathryn.
105
00:05:30,456 --> 00:05:32,499
She’s a lovely young woman, Dean.
106
00:05:32,666 --> 00:05:36,545
Jessica, I’m much more interested
in what you’re not saying.
107
00:05:36,712 --> 00:05:38,297
[man] Mr. Richards.
108
00:05:38,464 --> 00:05:40,340
Ah, and Mrs. Fletcher.
109
00:05:40,507 --> 00:05:42,259
It’s been a long time.
110
00:05:42,426 --> 00:05:45,304
Yes, it has, Mr. Kane.
111
00:05:45,471 --> 00:05:47,931
Well, I trust that
Carter managed to convey
112
00:05:48,098 --> 00:05:50,601
the extremely temporary nature
of my offer.
113
00:05:50,768 --> 00:05:52,936
Mr. Kane, you’re more than welcome
to withdraw your offer
114
00:05:53,103 --> 00:05:54,980
any time you'd like.
115
00:05:55,147 --> 00:05:56,690
You’re making a serious mistake.
116
00:05:56,857 --> 00:05:59,485
Look, Kane, even if
the money wasn’t a joke,
117
00:05:59,651 --> 00:06:01,945
even if I was on the brink
of financial obscurity,
118
00:06:02,112 --> 00:06:04,239
I would never let Follies
fall into your hands.
119
00:06:04,406 --> 00:06:07,493
Well, allow me to sweeten the pot for you.
120
00:06:07,659 --> 00:06:10,621
If you don’t agree
to sell me the magazine in 48 hours,
121
00:06:10,788 --> 00:06:14,083
under my current terms,
you have my promise.
122
00:06:14,249 --> 00:06:17,252
I’ll put you out of business
before the end of the year.
123
00:06:21,381 --> 00:06:23,092
Have a nice lunch.
124
00:06:27,763 --> 00:06:30,265
The most disgusting thing
125
00:06:30,432 --> 00:06:32,726
is that he just may have
the financial wherewithal to do it.
126
00:06:32,893 --> 00:06:35,270
I take it your experience with him
wasn’t such a pleasant one.
127
00:06:35,437 --> 00:06:37,648
Last year, without my permission,
128
00:06:37,815 --> 00:06:41,985
he shopped one of my books
to all the studios and networks.
129
00:06:42,152 --> 00:06:45,072
Let me guess. And you didn’t have
an option for the movie rights.
130
00:06:45,239 --> 00:06:48,325
So by the time
a legitimate producer wanted it,
131
00:06:48,492 --> 00:06:50,869
it was regarded as damaged goods.
132
00:06:51,036 --> 00:06:52,871
Oh, Mr. Kane.
133
00:06:53,038 --> 00:06:54,414
Such a fine gentleman.
134
00:06:56,083 --> 00:06:57,876
[woman] Very well then.
135
00:06:58,043 --> 00:06:59,878
You have my permission to leave
any time you’re ready.
136
00:07:00,045 --> 00:07:02,881
Oh, uh...
137
00:07:03,048 --> 00:07:04,883
"Fine. Then I’ll just throw
my things in a bag
138
00:07:05,050 --> 00:07:06,760
and I’ll be out of here in an hour."
139
00:07:06,927 --> 00:07:08,887
Fifteen minutes would be better.
140
00:07:09,054 --> 00:07:11,056
Preferable.
"Fifteen minutes would be preferable."
141
00:07:11,223 --> 00:07:12,349
Oh, God!
142
00:07:12,516 --> 00:07:14,768
I really hope I get this one.
143
00:07:14,935 --> 00:07:18,689
-Great, because you’re perfect for this.
-[giggles] Thanks.
144
00:07:18,856 --> 00:07:21,608
I bet if I had a killer agent like you do,
145
00:07:21,775 --> 00:07:23,569
I’d be a big star by now.
146
00:07:23,735 --> 00:07:26,113
Well, at least a working actress.
147
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,323
I mean, not that you aren’t
a really good writer or...
148
00:07:28,490 --> 00:07:30,742
It’s okay. I know what you mean, Abby.
149
00:07:32,870 --> 00:07:34,830
[Abby] I really wish that
he wouldn’t smoke these things.
150
00:07:34,997 --> 00:07:36,540
Oh, you know, it’s funny
151
00:07:36,707 --> 00:07:40,377
that you should say that,
because when he was here last night,
152
00:07:40,544 --> 00:07:42,629
I was thinking of saying something
to him about it.
153
00:07:42,796 --> 00:07:45,048
Ben, do you suppose...
154
00:07:45,215 --> 00:07:46,967
I mean, would he consider ever
155
00:07:47,134 --> 00:07:49,178
branching out from just handling writers
156
00:07:49,344 --> 00:07:53,265
and maybe take on someone,
you know, like me?
157
00:07:53,432 --> 00:07:55,726
It won’t hurt to ask.
The worst thing that’ll happen
158
00:07:55,893 --> 00:07:57,811
-is he’ll have us taken out and shot.
-[giggles]
159
00:07:57,978 --> 00:07:59,646
Geez, Abby, what the hell are you doing?
160
00:07:59,813 --> 00:08:01,273
I’ve been calling your place for,
like, an hour.
161
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,859
I’m sorry. We were just reading lines.
162
00:08:04,026 --> 00:08:05,527
How did your audition go?
163
00:08:05,694 --> 00:08:08,572
-It went great--
-Hi, Doris, listen, is Gary there? Uh shh!
164
00:08:08,739 --> 00:08:12,618
Hi, Gary, it’s Ben. Ben Forman.
165
00:08:12,784 --> 00:08:14,745
Listen, I was wondering
if you’d be able to take the time
166
00:08:14,912 --> 00:08:16,622
to meet with Abby Peters.
167
00:08:16,788 --> 00:08:19,541
She’s that actress
I’ve been telling you about.
168
00:08:19,708 --> 00:08:22,711
She’s really terrific.
I really think that you...
169
00:08:22,878 --> 00:08:26,256
You will? That’s great!
That’s really great.
170
00:08:26,423 --> 00:08:29,384
Yes, I will have
the Fletcher piece done by tomorrow.
171
00:08:29,551 --> 00:08:32,054
All right, Gary. Thank you.
172
00:08:32,221 --> 00:08:34,056
He said you should call him this afternoon
173
00:08:34,223 --> 00:08:35,515
and he’ll set up an appointment.
174
00:08:35,682 --> 00:08:37,726
Oh, Ben, that is so hot!
175
00:08:37,893 --> 00:08:39,728
Hey, come on, you’re gonna be
late for your audition.
176
00:08:39,895 --> 00:08:41,188
I just hope you know your lines
for a change.
177
00:08:41,355 --> 00:08:42,814
She’s been working really hard.
178
00:08:42,981 --> 00:08:46,860
Listen, wuss, if I wanna hear
anything from you, I’ll ask, all right?
179
00:08:47,027 --> 00:08:49,112
Dave, just leave him alone.
180
00:08:50,906 --> 00:08:51,949
C'mon, let’s go, Abby.
181
00:08:53,575 --> 00:08:54,785
Good... good luck.
182
00:08:54,952 --> 00:08:56,620
Bye, Ben.
183
00:08:57,955 --> 00:08:59,665
[phone rings]
184
00:09:03,669 --> 00:09:05,337
Yes.
185
00:09:05,504 --> 00:09:08,215
How are you, Mr. Kane?
186
00:09:08,382 --> 00:09:09,967
Wonderful.
187
00:09:10,133 --> 00:09:12,678
Listen, but not as wonderful
as that screenplay of yours.
188
00:09:12,844 --> 00:09:14,221
You’re kidding?
189
00:09:14,388 --> 00:09:16,807
No. I think we can get Squeegee made.
190
00:09:16,974 --> 00:09:18,225
Oh, wow, Mr. Kane.
191
00:09:18,392 --> 00:09:21,061
Harrison. Please, please.
192
00:09:21,228 --> 00:09:23,021
Can I talk to you as a friend here, Ben?
193
00:09:23,188 --> 00:09:24,606
Uh, sure.
194
00:09:24,773 --> 00:09:27,401
Good, ’cause I have a favor to ask you.
195
00:09:27,567 --> 00:09:29,528
I wonder if you’d have a word with
196
00:09:29,695 --> 00:09:31,989
that SOB agent of yours
197
00:09:32,155 --> 00:09:34,700
and maybe slip him some reasonable pills.
198
00:09:34,866 --> 00:09:38,370
Uh, Mr. Kane, you’re putting me in
a very awkward position.
199
00:09:38,537 --> 00:09:40,372
Okay, suit yourself.
200
00:09:40,539 --> 00:09:43,959
I just wanted to hear from your own lips
that you were gonna take a hike
201
00:09:44,126 --> 00:09:46,670
if I didn’t come up with
$100,000 for the option.
202
00:09:46,837 --> 00:09:49,172
Wow, he’s asking for that much.
203
00:09:49,339 --> 00:09:52,050
Oh, demanding.
204
00:09:52,217 --> 00:09:53,635
Issuing ultimatums.
205
00:09:53,802 --> 00:09:55,929
Well, I’ll see what I can do.
206
00:09:56,096 --> 00:09:58,015
Listen, Mr...
207
00:09:58,181 --> 00:10:01,560
-Harrison, I got a favor to ask.
-I’m listening.
208
00:10:01,727 --> 00:10:04,521
The role of Paula,
there’s this actress I know,
209
00:10:04,688 --> 00:10:06,440
she’s really terrific.
Her name is Abby Peters.
210
00:10:06,606 --> 00:10:09,484
Yeah, look, have her give me a call.
211
00:10:19,202 --> 00:10:22,831
You really don’t care
whether you get this role or not, do you?
212
00:10:22,998 --> 00:10:25,375
Not really, no.
213
00:10:25,542 --> 00:10:28,754
Is there anything
that you really care about?
214
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:30,672
I mean, passionately, deeply?
215
00:10:30,839 --> 00:10:33,467
Well, I have this cat.
216
00:10:33,633 --> 00:10:36,470
She looks into my soul and I into hers.
217
00:10:36,636 --> 00:10:38,930
I care about her.
218
00:10:41,475 --> 00:10:43,977
[Ben] How long ago
did you start writing mysteries?
219
00:10:44,144 --> 00:10:46,313
[Jessica] Fourteen years ago,
as a matter of fact.
220
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,940
Of course, that was back when I was
still teaching high school English.
221
00:10:49,107 --> 00:10:52,235
You see, I read about
this murder in Bar Harbor,
222
00:10:52,402 --> 00:10:54,613
and I, uh... oh, dear, Ben.
223
00:10:54,780 --> 00:10:57,491
I’ve got ten minutes
to get to my publisher’s.
224
00:10:57,657 --> 00:11:02,287
I have everything I need.
I love working this way. Here’s a cab.
225
00:11:02,454 --> 00:11:05,165
This has really been
absolutely terrific, Jessica.
226
00:11:05,332 --> 00:11:07,376
Well, it’s been great fun for me, too.
227
00:11:07,542 --> 00:11:09,920
I just hope that it measures up
to your expectations.
228
00:11:11,505 --> 00:11:12,798
Oh, gosh, sorry!
229
00:11:12,964 --> 00:11:16,927
It’s all right. Listen, don’t forget.
I want to see the copy
230
00:11:17,094 --> 00:11:18,970
before you send it in to Follies.
231
00:11:19,137 --> 00:11:21,890
-Absolutely. Yes. Thank you.
-Thank you.
232
00:11:23,433 --> 00:11:25,102
Oh, and Ben,
233
00:11:25,268 --> 00:11:27,479
at the risk of raining on your parade,
234
00:11:27,646 --> 00:11:29,523
a word of advice about Harrison Kane.
235
00:11:29,689 --> 00:11:33,110
I suggest that you keep
a very close eye on your script
236
00:11:33,276 --> 00:11:34,611
and on your wallet,
237
00:11:34,778 --> 00:11:37,948
and that your agent does the same.
238
00:11:38,115 --> 00:11:40,200
[Kane] I don’t know where the hell
you would hear that, Mannion,
239
00:11:40,367 --> 00:11:42,494
but it’s a lie.
I would never shop a property
240
00:11:42,661 --> 00:11:44,329
I don’t own the rights to.
241
00:11:44,496 --> 00:11:46,164
That’s not what I heard, pal.
242
00:11:46,331 --> 00:11:47,916
A cashier’s check for the option dollars,
243
00:11:48,083 --> 00:11:51,336
100,000 of them,
on my desk by noon tomorrow.
244
00:11:51,503 --> 00:11:53,213
Mannion...
245
00:11:53,380 --> 00:11:55,048
And if you try to sell
that script without a deal,
246
00:11:55,215 --> 00:11:57,259
both Ben Forman and I will sue you
for every cent
247
00:11:57,426 --> 00:11:59,428
you’re ever gonna be worth.
248
00:11:59,594 --> 00:12:01,471
-Look, I--
-Another thing, Kane.
249
00:12:01,638 --> 00:12:03,932
About this young actress, Abby Peters.
250
00:12:04,099 --> 00:12:06,685
You pull any of your famous
scope-and-grope on the lady
251
00:12:06,852 --> 00:12:08,019
and we’re gonna rewrite
the definition of trouble.
252
00:12:08,186 --> 00:12:10,689
[phone clicks, dial tone drones]
253
00:12:12,065 --> 00:12:13,942
[knock on door]
254
00:12:17,737 --> 00:12:19,656
Harrison, I’m asking you as a friend,
255
00:12:19,823 --> 00:12:21,741
please don’t pull your offer.
256
00:12:21,908 --> 00:12:23,702
What is this, good cop, bad cop?
257
00:12:23,869 --> 00:12:25,620
I warned you not to play games with me.
258
00:12:25,787 --> 00:12:27,956
I told you, that’s not how I operate.
259
00:12:28,123 --> 00:12:30,375
Just give me another day or two,
and I promise you,
260
00:12:30,542 --> 00:12:32,377
I’m certain I can turn Dean around.
261
00:12:32,544 --> 00:12:34,087
Well, you’re too late, Carter.
262
00:12:34,254 --> 00:12:35,797
You can keep your magazine.
263
00:12:35,964 --> 00:12:37,966
I’m already on to Plan B.
264
00:12:38,133 --> 00:12:40,343
I’m gonna spend
as much as it takes to bury you
265
00:12:40,510 --> 00:12:44,055
and Follies
and your terminally short-sighted partner.
266
00:12:45,682 --> 00:12:46,683
Now get out.
267
00:12:51,229 --> 00:12:53,607
And you can give him a message for me.
268
00:12:53,773 --> 00:12:56,735
Tell him not to mess with Harrison Kane.
269
00:13:18,882 --> 00:13:21,551
[man] Energy, come on, Kathryn,
give it some life, for God’s sake!
270
00:13:21,718 --> 00:13:23,345
I’m trying.
271
00:13:23,512 --> 00:13:25,222
The hell you are.
The whole day, you haven’t been with me.
272
00:13:25,388 --> 00:13:27,682
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hans, cut her some slack.
273
00:13:27,849 --> 00:13:29,559
She’s gotten what she deserves.
274
00:13:29,726 --> 00:13:31,394
And you haven’t been any help.
275
00:13:31,561 --> 00:13:33,230
She’s had zero concentration.
276
00:13:33,396 --> 00:13:36,525
-You know, Hans, I think you’re--
-Dean, stay out of it.
277
00:13:36,691 --> 00:13:37,984
Okay, why don’t we just call it quits?
278
00:13:38,151 --> 00:13:40,111
-All right? That’s a wrap.
-[woman] That's a wrap!
279
00:13:40,278 --> 00:13:42,447
Why don’t you and I go dive
into a nice, cold drink, hmm?
280
00:13:42,614 --> 00:13:45,242
All right, everybody,
makeup at 9:00 a.m. sharp.
281
00:13:45,408 --> 00:13:48,578
And Dean, do me a favor.
Stay at the office.
282
00:13:48,745 --> 00:13:51,456
Hans, do me a favor.
The Malibu pictures, I’d like ’em.
283
00:13:51,623 --> 00:13:53,208
Couple of days,
end of the week at the latest.
284
00:13:53,375 --> 00:13:56,920
No, no, no, no.
Ten o'clock, my desk, tomorrow.
285
00:13:57,087 --> 00:13:59,923
I hope they’re a hell of a lot better
than that crap you gave us last month.
286
00:14:00,090 --> 00:14:01,091
You’re joking.
287
00:14:01,258 --> 00:14:02,926
You’re not joking, huh?
288
00:14:03,093 --> 00:14:04,928
That was some of my finest work.
289
00:14:05,095 --> 00:14:07,180
Consider yourself fortunate, Hans.
290
00:14:07,347 --> 00:14:09,349
He’s being uncharacteristically gentle.
291
00:14:17,899 --> 00:14:20,235
I heard from a very reliable source
292
00:14:20,402 --> 00:14:24,447
that Harrison Kane’s finances are
in the dumper.
293
00:14:24,614 --> 00:14:26,366
We’re talking a complete meltdown.
294
00:14:26,533 --> 00:14:28,577
I can’t say I’m surprised.
295
00:14:28,743 --> 00:14:30,495
He always struck me as a phony.
296
00:14:30,662 --> 00:14:34,124
That’s because you’re much more perceptive
than most people.
297
00:14:34,291 --> 00:14:37,961
While Follies is hardly out of the woods,
298
00:14:38,128 --> 00:14:43,300
at least we won’t have Harrison Kane
kicking us around anymore.
299
00:14:45,885 --> 00:14:47,554
Good night, darling.
300
00:14:47,721 --> 00:14:50,056
It’ll go better tomorrow, I promise.
301
00:14:59,357 --> 00:15:01,109
Listen, I’m sorry
I had to move our appointment
302
00:15:01,276 --> 00:15:03,486
to such a late hour, Miss Peters.
303
00:15:03,653 --> 00:15:05,572
But it’s just been
one of those days, you know.
304
00:15:05,739 --> 00:15:08,700
Business meetings and phone calls.
305
00:15:08,867 --> 00:15:11,620
Oh, Mr. Kane, really,
this has been such a day for me.
306
00:15:11,786 --> 00:15:15,957
First, Mr. Mannion agrees to represent me
and then, he gets you to meet with me.
307
00:15:16,124 --> 00:15:18,501
Well, I’m the one who’s impressed.
308
00:15:18,668 --> 00:15:20,211
For the role of Paula?
309
00:15:20,378 --> 00:15:22,088
Of course.
310
00:15:22,255 --> 00:15:24,090
Nobody’s got a lock on that yet.
311
00:15:24,257 --> 00:15:27,260
But I’m also impressed
with that very appealing
312
00:15:27,427 --> 00:15:29,596
special quality that you have.
313
00:15:29,763 --> 00:15:32,307
You’ve got that fire
in the belly, you know.
314
00:15:32,474 --> 00:15:34,726
That hot, hot thing
that actresses need to have.
315
00:15:34,893 --> 00:15:37,979
And you’ve got it. You got the fire.
316
00:15:38,146 --> 00:15:42,442
Unfortunately, you also have that lowlife
Gary Mannion representing you.
317
00:15:42,609 --> 00:15:44,069
Not that that has to be a deal breaker.
318
00:15:44,235 --> 00:15:46,446
It’s just, uh... Let’s not talk about it.
319
00:15:46,613 --> 00:15:48,239
Let’s not let that spoil our night.
320
00:15:48,406 --> 00:15:51,076
I’ve got room service,
dinner for two, candlelight.
321
00:15:52,285 --> 00:15:53,453
Mr. Kane.
322
00:15:53,620 --> 00:15:55,997
Well, I am very disappointed.
323
00:15:56,164 --> 00:15:57,666
[laughs] For God’s sake,
324
00:15:57,832 --> 00:15:59,918
what do you think this is, the ’50s?
325
00:16:00,085 --> 00:16:02,212
No, but you must. I may be awfully naive,
326
00:16:02,379 --> 00:16:05,340
but I thought this sort of thing
went out of style about then.
327
00:16:05,507 --> 00:16:07,592
You stupid...
328
00:16:09,719 --> 00:16:11,471
[doorman] Evening, sir.
329
00:16:19,854 --> 00:16:20,939
[glass breaking]
330
00:16:21,106 --> 00:16:22,273
[Abby] No!
331
00:16:54,013 --> 00:16:56,182
West Ninth Street. 427.
332
00:17:08,528 --> 00:17:09,946
Abby!
333
00:17:18,455 --> 00:17:19,831
[knocking on door]
334
00:17:21,583 --> 00:17:23,376
Room service.
335
00:17:24,753 --> 00:17:26,212
Mr. Kane?
336
00:17:27,630 --> 00:17:29,174
Mr. Kane?
337
00:17:33,178 --> 00:17:34,637
Mr. Kane?
338
00:17:41,728 --> 00:17:43,813
Mr. Kane?
339
00:17:43,980 --> 00:17:45,607
Are you...
340
00:17:46,816 --> 00:17:48,610
Oh, my God!
341
00:17:53,406 --> 00:17:54,908
[man] Yep, room service waiter found him.
342
00:17:55,074 --> 00:17:59,621
Murdered in his bathtub,
by electrocution, no less.
343
00:17:59,788 --> 00:18:01,080
-Hair dryer, probably.
-Oh, how dreadful.
344
00:18:01,247 --> 00:18:05,168
I thought there were safeguards
against that sort of thing.
345
00:18:05,335 --> 00:18:08,046
The power was supposed
to shut down automatically.
346
00:18:08,213 --> 00:18:11,049
The hotel is in violation
of the electrical code.
347
00:18:11,216 --> 00:18:13,718
Anyhow, since Dean Richards claims
348
00:18:13,885 --> 00:18:16,721
that the last time he saw
Harrison Kane alive
349
00:18:16,888 --> 00:18:19,432
was a couple of days ago
when you were having lunch with him,
350
00:18:19,599 --> 00:18:20,975
I’d appreciate a statement.
351
00:18:21,142 --> 00:18:23,144
Well, of course.
352
00:18:23,311 --> 00:18:25,897
Plus, your name, address
and phone number turned up in Kane’s book
353
00:18:26,064 --> 00:18:28,858
and Richards says
even you weren’t that fond of this guy.
354
00:18:29,025 --> 00:18:32,654
Yes, we had less than positive
business dealings.
355
00:18:32,821 --> 00:18:36,866
Look, Jessica, I know that
this is not the best time for this,
356
00:18:37,033 --> 00:18:38,868
but could we do this a little quickly?
357
00:18:39,035 --> 00:18:42,205
Doris made reservations
at a resort in the Catskills.
358
00:18:42,372 --> 00:18:43,915
I’m supposed to pick her up
in a few hours.
359
00:18:44,082 --> 00:18:45,917
-That sounds lovely.
-Yeah, well...
360
00:18:46,084 --> 00:18:48,086
She really is looking forward to it.
361
00:18:48,253 --> 00:18:49,462
We’re meeting another couple up there.
362
00:18:49,629 --> 00:18:51,381
Her best friend from college.
363
00:18:51,548 --> 00:18:56,052
Thing is, her husband is
about as interesting as a TV test pattern.
364
00:18:56,219 --> 00:18:58,012
Listen, Lieutenant Gelber, excuse me.
365
00:18:58,179 --> 00:19:00,932
Jessica, I think I better go home
and plug these changes in,
366
00:19:01,099 --> 00:19:03,601
so that I can get
the new pages over to Follies.
367
00:19:03,768 --> 00:19:05,562
Hold it.
368
00:19:05,728 --> 00:19:06,896
Mr. Forman.
369
00:19:07,063 --> 00:19:10,024
I now remember where I saw your name.
370
00:19:10,191 --> 00:19:12,151
Yeah, here it is.
371
00:19:12,318 --> 00:19:14,904
Right in Harrison Kane’s
little black book.
372
00:19:15,071 --> 00:19:17,949
Why don’t you just
hang out for a few minutes
373
00:19:18,116 --> 00:19:20,285
while I get a statement from you, too?
374
00:19:20,451 --> 00:19:21,828
Yeah, sure.
375
00:19:23,246 --> 00:19:25,790
Are there any suspects, Artie?
376
00:19:25,957 --> 00:19:29,043
Outside of maybe half the people
in Los Angeles and Manhattan,
377
00:19:29,210 --> 00:19:31,212
this guy has been accused of everything
378
00:19:31,379 --> 00:19:34,424
from sexual harassment
to bunco to grand theft.
379
00:19:34,591 --> 00:19:35,884
Apparently,
380
00:19:36,050 --> 00:19:38,469
Mr. Kane had a visitor last night.
381
00:19:38,636 --> 00:19:41,806
Someone with a taste for expensive cigars
and straight bourbon.
382
00:19:41,973 --> 00:19:43,224
We haven’t ID’d him as yet.
383
00:19:45,476 --> 00:19:48,229
[Dean] We’ll run it
in three or four pieces.
384
00:19:48,396 --> 00:19:50,440
Sounds moderately interesting.
385
00:19:50,607 --> 00:19:54,235
Moderately interesting? Mannion, please.
This is a major assignment.
386
00:19:54,402 --> 00:19:57,030
This kid will get so much material,
he’ll get a book out of it.
387
00:19:57,196 --> 00:19:59,699
It’s gonna be one of these long pieces
like in The New Yorker.
388
00:19:59,866 --> 00:20:01,367
Just don’t expect to buy in
389
00:20:01,534 --> 00:20:02,744
for the kind of
mini bucks you’ve been paying.
390
00:20:02,911 --> 00:20:04,078
Whoa, whoa, hey, pal.
391
00:20:04,245 --> 00:20:08,458
Try your extortion tactics on this one,
and Ben Forman is history around here.
392
00:20:08,625 --> 00:20:10,209
And that’s assuming
he doesn’t blow his deadline
393
00:20:10,376 --> 00:20:13,880
on the Jessica Fletcher piece,
which is in 53 minutes.
394
00:20:14,047 --> 00:20:17,550
Richards, when you’re ready to treat Ben
with the respect he deserves, call me.
395
00:20:17,717 --> 00:20:19,218
[line disconnects]
396
00:20:19,385 --> 00:20:21,888
That pencil neck,
high-handed, pretentious...
397
00:20:22,055 --> 00:20:24,807
That is it. That’s the last time
I deal with him or Ben Forman.
398
00:20:24,974 --> 00:20:26,851
That’s what you said last month.
399
00:20:27,018 --> 00:20:28,227
I heard you.
400
00:20:28,394 --> 00:20:30,605
Okay, look, Carter,
401
00:20:30,772 --> 00:20:33,191
I have a magazine to get out, so if you--
402
00:20:33,358 --> 00:20:34,609
Dean, we might not have it much longer.
403
00:20:34,776 --> 00:20:38,196
Alive, at least Kane looked like
a possible source of revenue.
404
00:20:38,363 --> 00:20:41,908
Now the bankers really won’t talk to us.
They just want their loans repaid.
405
00:20:42,075 --> 00:20:43,493
Okay, okay. Look.
406
00:20:43,660 --> 00:20:46,871
I have a couple of leads on some money
that’ll get us to the next payroll.
407
00:20:47,038 --> 00:20:48,456
I hope that’s true.
408
00:20:48,623 --> 00:20:50,875
And I hope we’re not
in a lot deeper trouble
409
00:20:51,042 --> 00:20:53,086
than we were yesterday at this time.
410
00:20:56,798 --> 00:20:59,676
[Artie] Doris, not to worry.
I’ll be there by 5:00.
411
00:20:59,842 --> 00:21:03,304
Then we’ll be off to the mountains
with Lorraine and Ernie...
412
00:21:03,471 --> 00:21:05,431
If I can get off this phone right now.
413
00:21:05,598 --> 00:21:08,601
Yeah. Me too. Mu-mu.
414
00:21:08,768 --> 00:21:11,938
Ernie. The man hasn’t stopped talking
since the flood.
415
00:21:12,105 --> 00:21:15,316
Listen, Jessica,
I am so sorry to drag you up here.
416
00:21:15,483 --> 00:21:18,945
But we found this manuscript
in Harrison Kane’s hotel suite.
417
00:21:19,112 --> 00:21:21,572
It’s got no title page, but, well,
418
00:21:21,739 --> 00:21:23,825
your fingerprints are
on a lot of the pages.
419
00:21:23,992 --> 00:21:27,370
Artie, by any chance,
does the opening sentence read,
420
00:21:27,537 --> 00:21:30,665
"Danny Carvaggio opened
the dead man’s wallet
421
00:21:30,832 --> 00:21:33,668
and realized that he was staring
at more money than he’d ever seen"?
422
00:21:33,835 --> 00:21:36,212
You wrote this.
423
00:21:36,379 --> 00:21:39,007
Yes, and Mr. Kane
shopped it all over Hollywood
424
00:21:39,173 --> 00:21:40,591
without my authorization.
425
00:21:40,758 --> 00:21:42,635
[knocking on door]
426
00:21:42,802 --> 00:21:45,138
Excuse me, Ms. Fletcher.
427
00:21:45,304 --> 00:21:47,348
Lieutenant, to bring you up to speed
on the Kane homicide,
428
00:21:47,515 --> 00:21:49,767
there’s still a bunch of prints
we haven’t been able to ID.
429
00:21:49,934 --> 00:21:53,604
Plus, I still can’t seem
to locate this Gary Mannion.
430
00:21:53,771 --> 00:21:55,148
Oh, Henderson, come on.
431
00:21:55,314 --> 00:21:56,607
He’s gotta have a phone, an office...
432
00:21:56,774 --> 00:21:58,568
Yes, sir. Locked up tight.
433
00:21:58,735 --> 00:22:00,778
His machine says
he’s in Boston for a few days,
434
00:22:00,945 --> 00:22:02,405
but he’ll be checking for messages.
435
00:22:02,572 --> 00:22:05,658
I’ve left about five of ’em
and contacted the Boston PD.
436
00:22:05,825 --> 00:22:07,827
Well, good. What about his residence?
437
00:22:07,994 --> 00:22:10,788
No listing for him in the five boroughs
or surrounding counties.
438
00:22:10,955 --> 00:22:12,749
Then check the airlines.
439
00:22:12,915 --> 00:22:14,709
Okay. One other thing.
440
00:22:14,876 --> 00:22:17,253
We still haven’t found the mate
to Kane’s room key.
441
00:22:17,420 --> 00:22:19,505
Hotel desk insists
they always issue two of them
442
00:22:19,672 --> 00:22:21,215
when people check in.
443
00:22:21,382 --> 00:22:22,884
Well, keep looking.
444
00:22:25,219 --> 00:22:27,805
Anyway...
445
00:22:27,972 --> 00:22:30,141
There have been several phone calls
from this Mannion
446
00:22:30,308 --> 00:22:31,851
to the victim in the last couple of days.
447
00:22:32,018 --> 00:22:34,020
According to Kane’s appointment book,
448
00:22:34,187 --> 00:22:35,980
they were supposed to have
a breakfast meeting this morning,
449
00:22:36,147 --> 00:22:38,566
only Kane wasn’t quite up to it.
450
00:22:38,733 --> 00:22:40,777
I just hope to hell
this doesn’t interfere with the weekend.
451
00:22:40,943 --> 00:22:42,820
Doris is gonna kill me.
452
00:22:42,987 --> 00:22:45,114
You know, Artie,
you might speak to Dean Richards.
453
00:22:45,281 --> 00:22:47,200
He’s had plenty of dealings with Mannion.
454
00:22:47,366 --> 00:22:48,868
Or for that matter, Ben Forman.
455
00:22:49,035 --> 00:22:50,912
After all, Mannion’s his agent.
456
00:22:51,079 --> 00:22:53,164
I’m sure he’d be able
to help you locate him.
457
00:22:53,331 --> 00:22:55,500
We’re a couple of steps ahead of you
on that one, Jessica.
458
00:22:55,666 --> 00:22:57,502
Ben provided this.
459
00:22:57,668 --> 00:23:00,338
Guy’s licensed in California
as a literary agent three years ago.
460
00:23:00,505 --> 00:23:04,050
Signatory to the Writers Guild
and Dramatists Guild contracts.
461
00:23:04,217 --> 00:23:06,302
By the way,
you wouldn’t know him, would you?
462
00:23:06,469 --> 00:23:09,013
-I don’t think so, no.
-Listen, Jessica,
463
00:23:09,180 --> 00:23:12,141
I hope you don’t think I meant anything
by that business with the manuscript.
464
00:23:12,308 --> 00:23:14,060
Of course not, Artie.
465
00:23:14,227 --> 00:23:15,895
You were only doing your job.
466
00:23:16,062 --> 00:23:17,563
And for what it’s worth,
467
00:23:17,730 --> 00:23:20,358
I was home alone
at the time of the murder.
468
00:23:20,525 --> 00:23:21,818
Why should you be
any different than anybody else
469
00:23:21,984 --> 00:23:23,736
who has a beef with Kane?
470
00:23:23,903 --> 00:23:25,822
There is not an alibi
in the bunch that will float
471
00:23:25,988 --> 00:23:27,824
any better than the Titanic.
472
00:23:30,409 --> 00:23:32,245
[Ellen] Honest, Carter,
I haven’t come up with anything.
473
00:23:32,411 --> 00:23:35,248
You’ve got the hots for him,
so you’re protecting him.
474
00:23:35,414 --> 00:23:36,999
-That’s not true.
-Yeah, right.
475
00:23:37,166 --> 00:23:39,168
Ellen, listen,
I wasn’t born five minutes ago.
476
00:23:39,335 --> 00:23:41,129
You said you could find out
who Dean’s been talking to,
477
00:23:41,295 --> 00:23:43,464
and what kind of deals
he’s been making behind my back.
478
00:23:43,631 --> 00:23:47,385
Now I expect information,
not pangs of conscience.
479
00:23:49,095 --> 00:23:50,888
Okay.
480
00:23:51,055 --> 00:23:53,391
You’re right. My heart hasn’t been in it.
481
00:23:53,558 --> 00:23:55,643
Yes, I was bitter about Kathryn Scofield.
482
00:23:55,810 --> 00:23:57,478
But this is the end.
483
00:23:57,645 --> 00:23:59,522
Even if you tell Dean,
even if it costs me my job,
484
00:23:59,689 --> 00:24:01,566
I’m not spying on him anymore.
485
00:24:01,732 --> 00:24:03,568
So you are covering up for him.
486
00:24:03,734 --> 00:24:05,695
Know something, Carter?
487
00:24:05,862 --> 00:24:08,281
Maybe you oughta think about
spending some of that money of yours
488
00:24:08,447 --> 00:24:09,907
on a good psychiatrist.
489
00:24:14,203 --> 00:24:16,122
[phone rings]
490
00:24:20,251 --> 00:24:21,544
Hello.
491
00:24:21,711 --> 00:24:23,171
[Dean] Have you seen Ben?
I haven’t received his piece yet.
492
00:24:23,337 --> 00:24:25,089
-You haven’t?
-No, I haven’t.
493
00:24:25,256 --> 00:24:27,383
And we were supposed to
go to press over an hour ago.
494
00:24:27,550 --> 00:24:30,553
But I went over the pages
with Ben this morning.
495
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,139
It was all done except for
a few minor changes.
496
00:24:33,306 --> 00:24:36,225
Minor changes, major changes,
I haven’t seen bupkus.
497
00:24:36,350 --> 00:24:38,394
And to make matters worse,
the police were here looking for him.
498
00:24:38,561 --> 00:24:41,522
Dean, can’t you just kill the story
and remake the pages?
499
00:24:41,689 --> 00:24:43,941
It’s impossible.
It’s billboarded on the cover,
500
00:24:44,108 --> 00:24:45,735
which we’ve already printed.
501
00:24:45,902 --> 00:24:48,154
What I’d like to do
is put a contract out on Forman,
502
00:24:48,321 --> 00:24:49,822
and his agent, who hasn’t got the guts
503
00:24:49,989 --> 00:24:51,991
to meet me face to face.
And you know what?
504
00:24:52,158 --> 00:24:54,785
I’d probably get away with it,
because between the two of them,
505
00:24:54,952 --> 00:24:57,496
it would barely add up to killing
an entire person!
506
00:24:57,663 --> 00:24:59,874
Dean, I’m afraid I have to
make another call.
507
00:25:00,041 --> 00:25:01,626
Please let me know if you hear anything.
508
00:25:01,792 --> 00:25:03,753
Yes, I will, Jessica. And you, me.
509
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:05,588
Yes. Yes, I will.
510
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:12,428
[woman] Business Office.
How may I help you?
511
00:25:12,595 --> 00:25:16,140
Yes, this is the office
of Gary Mannion, 555-6700.
512
00:25:16,307 --> 00:25:20,186
There seems to be some sort of discrepancy
in our phone bill.
513
00:25:20,353 --> 00:25:21,938
-Area code 212?
-That’s right.
514
00:25:22,104 --> 00:25:24,398
I believe that we’re being charged
for a service
515
00:25:24,565 --> 00:25:26,776
that we’ve never requested.
Call forwarding?
516
00:25:26,943 --> 00:25:29,445
We show your calls being forwarded.
517
00:25:29,612 --> 00:25:30,738
Really?
518
00:25:30,905 --> 00:25:33,241
Yes, to 555-7688.
519
00:25:33,407 --> 00:25:35,243
-Yes, well, thank you.
-You’re welcome.
520
00:25:35,409 --> 00:25:38,913
-Yes, I’ll speak to Mr. Mannion about it.
-Okay.
521
00:25:40,998 --> 00:25:44,210
Look, I’m just not sure. That’s all.
522
00:25:44,377 --> 00:25:46,003
I’ll let you know later.
523
00:25:46,170 --> 00:25:49,006
What, after you find out
if that wimp writer’s available?
524
00:25:49,173 --> 00:25:50,716
Dave, look, I’m...
525
00:25:50,883 --> 00:25:52,927
I’m just not feeling too terrific, okay?
526
00:25:53,094 --> 00:25:55,221
That’s who you were
out with last night, isn’t it?
527
00:25:55,388 --> 00:25:57,098
God, you know, Abby,
528
00:25:57,265 --> 00:25:58,683
I can’t believe that you’re buying into
his whole act.
529
00:26:28,671 --> 00:26:30,298
Mr. Mannion.
530
00:26:32,466 --> 00:26:34,176
Mr. Mannion’s not in?
531
00:26:34,343 --> 00:26:37,888
No and I just spoke
with him a half hour ago.
532
00:26:38,055 --> 00:26:40,182
I should’ve taken him at his word.
533
00:26:40,349 --> 00:26:42,727
He said I could mail these,
my pictures and credits.
534
00:26:42,893 --> 00:26:45,438
-Oh.
-I just didn’t wanna wait.
535
00:26:45,604 --> 00:26:48,441
What is this, everybody in Manhattan
wants to talk to Mannion?
536
00:26:48,607 --> 00:26:50,985
I have a couple of questions
I’d like to ask him, yes.
537
00:26:51,152 --> 00:26:53,529
Not as many as I would. Excuse me.
538
00:26:53,696 --> 00:26:57,283
-Excuse me.
-Oh, by the way,
539
00:26:57,450 --> 00:26:59,368
we traced those cigars
we found at the murder scene.
540
00:26:59,535 --> 00:27:01,037
They’re Mannion’s.
541
00:27:01,203 --> 00:27:03,539
We ran his credit cards...
orders them by the box.
542
00:27:03,706 --> 00:27:05,750
Eight bucks per smoke,
if you can believe it.
543
00:27:05,916 --> 00:27:07,293
There you go, Lieutenant.
544
00:27:07,460 --> 00:27:09,253
Henderson, let me ask you something.
545
00:27:09,420 --> 00:27:11,047
You ever get caught flat-footed?
546
00:27:11,213 --> 00:27:14,342
You know, when you weren’t prepared
for a situation before it happened?
547
00:27:14,508 --> 00:27:16,427
In the second grade, I think it was.
548
00:27:16,594 --> 00:27:19,972
I figured. You can give me
the details some other time.
549
00:27:29,190 --> 00:27:32,276
Looks like Mannion’s our man.
550
00:27:32,443 --> 00:27:33,819
Smells like it, too.
551
00:27:33,986 --> 00:27:37,615
Okay, okay, we’ll get forensics
down here ASAP,
552
00:27:37,782 --> 00:27:39,825
so let’s don’t touch anything.
553
00:27:39,992 --> 00:27:41,911
Ten’ll get you 75
Mannion’s prints will match
554
00:27:42,078 --> 00:27:44,538
the ones that are all over
the murder weapon.
555
00:27:44,705 --> 00:27:46,624
And I’ll put out an APB.
556
00:27:46,791 --> 00:27:49,710
Excuse me, Artie. It might be a good idea
to call the airline.
557
00:27:49,877 --> 00:27:52,421
-We did that.
-If you don’t mind me saying so,
558
00:27:52,588 --> 00:27:54,632
it might not be a bad idea
to call them again.
559
00:27:54,799 --> 00:27:56,092
[Artie] Hold it, Jerry.
560
00:27:56,258 --> 00:27:58,135
I’m not sure I’m getting your drift.
561
00:28:00,262 --> 00:28:02,056
[Mannion] Okay, okay, I’m telling you,
562
00:28:02,223 --> 00:28:03,974
I hear one more word of abuse about Ben,
563
00:28:04,141 --> 00:28:05,851
one more insult,
564
00:28:06,018 --> 00:28:09,605
and I’ll never let him near that
crummy magazine of yours again.
565
00:28:09,772 --> 00:28:12,691
Now, look here, Richards, relax.
566
00:28:14,110 --> 00:28:15,403
-[gun cocks]
-Yes, now you listen to me, chum.
567
00:28:15,569 --> 00:28:17,363
Ben Forman is one...
568
00:28:17,530 --> 00:28:20,741
is the finest young writer I’ve ever seen.
569
00:28:20,908 --> 00:28:24,703
Yes and as far as his being a wimp,
570
00:28:24,870 --> 00:28:28,374
or dishonest, you, sir,
don’t know the first thing about him.
571
00:28:31,836 --> 00:28:34,713
You, sir, don’t even have enough class
to crank up his computer.
572
00:28:36,173 --> 00:28:39,510
[Jessica] It finally just added up, Ben.
573
00:28:39,677 --> 00:28:41,637
I made a guess
574
00:28:41,804 --> 00:28:43,806
that you forwarded
Gary Mannion’s phone calls
575
00:28:43,973 --> 00:28:46,642
to an unlisted number in your apartment.
576
00:28:46,809 --> 00:28:50,062
And when none of the airlines showed
any reservations in Mr. Mannion’s name,
577
00:28:50,229 --> 00:28:52,731
Mrs. Fletcher said we should try yours.
578
00:28:52,898 --> 00:28:55,526
Mid-town traffic this time of the day,
579
00:28:55,693 --> 00:28:57,319
you wouldn’t have made it
to the airport anyway.
580
00:28:59,530 --> 00:29:00,823
Well, it worked for a while.
581
00:29:00,990 --> 00:29:03,033
[Artie] Yeah. Mr. Forman,
582
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,035
I’m placing you under arrest
583
00:29:05,202 --> 00:29:06,954
for the murder of Harrison Kane.
584
00:29:16,755 --> 00:29:20,092
[Ben] Those first couple of years,
they were really tough, Jessica, ya know?
585
00:29:20,259 --> 00:29:22,011
Being shy didn’t help.
586
00:29:22,178 --> 00:29:23,971
Oh, I know. The rejections.
587
00:29:24,138 --> 00:29:26,849
It really helps to grow
a thick layer of elephant hide.
588
00:29:27,016 --> 00:29:28,434
Yeah, tell me.
589
00:29:28,601 --> 00:29:30,186
The editors,
if they would talk to me at all,
590
00:29:30,352 --> 00:29:32,021
they would ask me if I had an agent.
591
00:29:32,188 --> 00:29:34,356
I would say no and they would say,
592
00:29:34,523 --> 00:29:36,775
we really don’t want to see your work
unless it comes from an agent
593
00:29:36,942 --> 00:29:38,986
and then, the agents would say,
call me when you’ve sold something.
594
00:29:39,153 --> 00:29:40,613
It made me nuts.
595
00:29:40,779 --> 00:29:43,532
And then you reread
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
596
00:29:43,699 --> 00:29:45,743
That’s where it came from.
597
00:29:45,910 --> 00:29:48,621
I created Gary Mannion
to be everything that I wasn’t.
598
00:29:48,787 --> 00:29:51,332
Sophisticated, arrogant, tough.
599
00:29:51,499 --> 00:29:52,833
The guy in the photo.
600
00:29:54,502 --> 00:29:55,586
My Uncle Max.
601
00:29:57,171 --> 00:29:58,964
Anyway, little by little,
602
00:29:59,131 --> 00:30:01,675
it began to work. He...
603
00:30:01,842 --> 00:30:05,429
I began to get the assignments.
That was the good part.
604
00:30:05,596 --> 00:30:08,307
I suspect I saw some of the bad
a little while ago.
605
00:30:08,474 --> 00:30:09,975
Yeah.
606
00:30:10,142 --> 00:30:12,978
When people didn’t like me,
or my work, or both,
607
00:30:13,145 --> 00:30:16,982
Gary Mannion would have to listen to them
dump all over me.
608
00:30:17,149 --> 00:30:18,817
It wasn’t a lot of fun.
609
00:30:18,984 --> 00:30:20,402
[door opens]
610
00:30:20,569 --> 00:30:23,072
Anyway...
611
00:30:23,239 --> 00:30:24,657
none of that matters much anymore.
612
00:30:24,823 --> 00:30:26,534
Okay, I’m afraid to tell ya.
613
00:30:26,700 --> 00:30:28,953
We matched your prints
against the liquor glass,
614
00:30:29,119 --> 00:30:31,622
-the bourbon bottle and the murder weapon.
-The hair dryer?
615
00:30:31,789 --> 00:30:34,416
So you may as well give us a confession.
616
00:30:34,583 --> 00:30:36,835
But, Artie, what about the motive?
617
00:30:37,002 --> 00:30:39,421
A beauty. Kane was peddling
Mr. Forman’s screenplay--
618
00:30:39,588 --> 00:30:40,965
Without owning the rights to it.
619
00:30:41,131 --> 00:30:42,299
You got it, Jessica.
620
00:30:42,466 --> 00:30:44,301
Besides which, we have eyewitnesses
621
00:30:44,468 --> 00:30:47,263
that place Ben at Kane’s door
around the time of the murder.
622
00:30:47,429 --> 00:30:50,307
[Jessica] Ben, for what it’s worth,
623
00:30:50,474 --> 00:30:52,434
I urge you not to talk to anybody
624
00:30:52,601 --> 00:30:54,436
until you’ve spoken to your attorney.
625
00:30:54,603 --> 00:30:58,023
Thank you, Mrs. Fletcher,
but there’s no point.
626
00:30:58,190 --> 00:31:00,317
Lieutenant, I’m ready
to sign a confession.
627
00:31:02,278 --> 00:31:05,155
With that charade he pulled,
that phantom agent and all,
628
00:31:05,322 --> 00:31:07,783
any halfway competent lawyer
should be able
629
00:31:07,950 --> 00:31:09,743
to get him off
on a diminished capacity plea.
630
00:31:09,910 --> 00:31:11,412
Ah, Jessica, come on. He did it.
631
00:31:11,579 --> 00:31:13,872
Look, Artie, I can’t believe that.
632
00:31:14,039 --> 00:31:16,208
Jessica, I have to be
on the thruway with Doris in an hour,
633
00:31:16,375 --> 00:31:19,712
or my marriage is in the dumper,
so please, don’t start in.
634
00:31:19,878 --> 00:31:21,755
Listen to me, Artie.
This just doesn’t make any sense.
635
00:31:21,922 --> 00:31:24,675
Why would Ben plant evidence
pointing to Gary Mannion
636
00:31:24,842 --> 00:31:27,177
when he knows it would
come right back to him?
637
00:31:27,344 --> 00:31:29,888
He told us why.
He’s trying to buy more time.
638
00:31:30,055 --> 00:31:31,724
Then why didn’t he leave town last night?
639
00:31:31,890 --> 00:31:35,060
No, I’m sorry,
but that can’t be the reason.
640
00:31:35,227 --> 00:31:38,606
But I think I have an idea what might be.
641
00:31:41,191 --> 00:31:44,570
Doris, you had to tell me,
"Don’t retire, it’ll make you meshugah."
642
00:31:46,113 --> 00:31:48,574
You do look sensational today.
643
00:31:48,741 --> 00:31:51,201
And, darling, why am I getting the feeling
644
00:31:51,368 --> 00:31:53,329
that you’re finally coming to the point?
645
00:31:53,495 --> 00:31:55,581
Because I am.
646
00:31:55,748 --> 00:31:58,667
Do you remember that interim financing
that I was so sure of?
647
00:31:58,834 --> 00:32:00,252
Mm-hmm.
648
00:32:00,419 --> 00:32:02,546
Well, it isn’t going to happen
649
00:32:02,713 --> 00:32:05,299
and the bank is going to pull the plug.
650
00:32:05,466 --> 00:32:07,176
How much are we talking about?
651
00:32:07,343 --> 00:32:10,512
Oh, just 20,000.
652
00:32:10,679 --> 00:32:13,015
Kathryn, I hate asking you.
653
00:32:13,182 --> 00:32:15,684
I may not be able to pay you back for
654
00:32:15,851 --> 00:32:18,145
six months, maybe a year.
655
00:32:18,312 --> 00:32:19,772
Excuse me.
656
00:32:19,938 --> 00:32:22,066
Hi, Miss Scofield.
657
00:32:22,232 --> 00:32:24,026
Dean, I just want you to know
658
00:32:24,193 --> 00:32:26,236
that we went to press five minutes ago,
659
00:32:26,403 --> 00:32:28,906
with Ben Forman’s profile of
JB Fletcher in place.
660
00:32:29,073 --> 00:32:30,491
Oh, that’s wonderful.
661
00:32:30,658 --> 00:32:32,910
And by the way, it’s awfully good.
662
00:32:37,665 --> 00:32:39,541
Uh, well, I better be getting back.
663
00:32:39,708 --> 00:32:41,043
Thank you, Ellen.
664
00:32:44,546 --> 00:32:46,924
I’ll think about it.
665
00:32:48,967 --> 00:32:52,346
[Jessica] The truth is, Ben is in
a great deal of trouble, Miss Peters.
666
00:32:52,513 --> 00:32:53,972
[Dave] Look, Miss Fletcher, no offense,
667
00:32:54,139 --> 00:32:55,891
but she doesn’t have time
for this right now.
668
00:32:56,058 --> 00:32:57,393
-What he means is--
-What I mean is,
669
00:32:57,559 --> 00:32:59,937
you gotta learn this role for tonight.
670
00:33:00,104 --> 00:33:01,814
-It’s only a walk-on, Mrs. Fletcher.
-It’s only a walk-on,
671
00:33:01,980 --> 00:33:03,774
but it could lead to something important.
672
00:33:03,941 --> 00:33:05,818
Mr. Wolski, this happens
to be very important.
673
00:33:05,984 --> 00:33:08,404
I promise, it will only take a moment.
674
00:33:08,570 --> 00:33:12,116
I just want to know if your interview
last night was with Harrison Kane.
675
00:33:12,282 --> 00:33:14,118
Wait, that producer that got killed?
676
00:33:14,284 --> 00:33:16,662
No, Mrs. Fletcher.
677
00:33:16,829 --> 00:33:19,206
Abby, are you denying it
because you’re afraid
678
00:33:19,373 --> 00:33:22,418
you’ll be accused of killing Mr. Kane?
679
00:33:22,584 --> 00:33:23,836
I have a hunch that
680
00:33:24,002 --> 00:33:26,296
Ben Forman believes that you did it.
681
00:33:26,463 --> 00:33:27,673
Ben thinks that?
682
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:29,842
Would he have any reason to think that?
683
00:33:30,008 --> 00:33:32,261
Perhaps self-defense?
684
00:33:32,428 --> 00:33:35,597
Whoa, whoa, time out. What the hell
are you talking about, Mrs. Fletcher?
685
00:33:35,764 --> 00:33:37,933
I’m talking about the reason
Ben seems so willing to admit
686
00:33:38,100 --> 00:33:39,852
that he killed Harrison Kane
687
00:33:40,018 --> 00:33:42,438
and why he planted evidence
implicating Gary Mannion.
688
00:33:42,604 --> 00:33:44,356
To protect Abby.
689
00:33:44,523 --> 00:33:46,775
Come on, this is completely crazy.
690
00:33:46,942 --> 00:33:49,111
-Like I told you before--
-Dave, stop!
691
00:33:49,278 --> 00:33:52,156
-Is there somewhere that we could--
-Why don’t we sit down?
692
00:33:56,285 --> 00:33:59,955
[Abby] Now why would Ben
try to protect me?
693
00:34:00,122 --> 00:34:02,875
I could be mistaken, Abby,
694
00:34:03,041 --> 00:34:06,795
but I have a feeling
that Ben cares a great deal about you.
695
00:34:09,965 --> 00:34:13,218
Were you in Harrison Kane’s
hotel suite last night?
696
00:34:27,065 --> 00:34:28,650
[clears throat]
697
00:34:28,817 --> 00:34:31,361
Carter, you scared the hell out of me.
698
00:34:31,528 --> 00:34:33,864
-The pictures, Hans.
-I haven’t got ’em.
699
00:34:34,031 --> 00:34:36,283
Don’t jerk me around, Hans.
700
00:34:36,450 --> 00:34:38,452
I want what I paid for.
701
00:34:38,619 --> 00:34:40,204
And I hope to God, for once you remembered
702
00:34:40,370 --> 00:34:42,039
that you weren’t paid for art,
703
00:34:42,206 --> 00:34:44,082
only for shots of Kathryn Scofield
704
00:34:44,249 --> 00:34:46,543
in the sack with Harrison Kane.
705
00:34:46,710 --> 00:34:48,670
Now come on, give ’em to me, Hans.
706
00:34:48,837 --> 00:34:50,506
It’s important that I show them to Dean
707
00:34:50,672 --> 00:34:52,925
before he does something stupid,
like commit to the lady.
708
00:34:53,091 --> 00:34:56,512
Now come on, Hans.
Face it, you’re a whore just like she is.
709
00:34:58,347 --> 00:35:00,849
That’s precisely the way
they made me feel,
710
00:35:01,016 --> 00:35:03,310
which is why I burned them. Now get out!
711
00:35:03,477 --> 00:35:08,816
The shouting, the loud noises,
he was coming after you, wasn’t he?
712
00:35:08,982 --> 00:35:11,985
It got kind of scary,
but he was alive when I ran out of there.
713
00:35:12,152 --> 00:35:13,946
Ben, Abby is telling the truth.
714
00:35:14,112 --> 00:35:16,031
It couldn’t have been
five minutes after you left
715
00:35:16,198 --> 00:35:17,241
that I found him dead.
716
00:35:17,407 --> 00:35:19,701
It was so sweet of you...
717
00:35:19,868 --> 00:35:21,328
all of this...
718
00:35:21,495 --> 00:35:24,289
-I had no idea that you felt this way.
-Yeah, well.
719
00:35:24,456 --> 00:35:26,500
Miss Fletcher picked up
on it just like that.
720
00:35:26,667 --> 00:35:30,712
But I guess maybe
’cause I was so caught up in
721
00:35:30,879 --> 00:35:31,755
trying to make it.
722
00:35:31,922 --> 00:35:33,966
Hey, Abby...
723
00:35:34,132 --> 00:35:36,760
in case you haven’t noticed,
724
00:35:36,927 --> 00:35:39,054
I’m not all that terrific at this myself.
725
00:35:39,221 --> 00:35:42,683
Listen, I’m sorry that I lied to you
726
00:35:42,850 --> 00:35:44,685
about Gary Mannion.
727
00:35:44,852 --> 00:35:46,937
Ben, my God, that was brilliant.
728
00:35:47,104 --> 00:35:49,690
Ben, try to describe what you remember
729
00:35:49,857 --> 00:35:51,733
after you entered Mr. Kane’s suite.
730
00:35:51,900 --> 00:35:53,402
That won’t be too difficult.
731
00:35:53,569 --> 00:35:55,279
It’s not something I’m ever gonna forget.
732
00:35:55,445 --> 00:35:57,072
Uh, Mr. Kane?
733
00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,575
Mr. Kane?
734
00:35:59,741 --> 00:36:02,077
[Ben] I called out his name
and there was no answer.
735
00:36:04,079 --> 00:36:05,163
All I could think of
736
00:36:05,247 --> 00:36:08,542
was letting him know
what I thought of him for hitting on Abby.
737
00:36:08,709 --> 00:36:10,544
By the time I got to the bathroom,
738
00:36:10,711 --> 00:36:12,421
I was ready to tell him
he couldn’t have my script either.
739
00:36:12,588 --> 00:36:15,132
Then I found him. I was panicking.
740
00:36:15,299 --> 00:36:17,092
All I kept thinking was
Abby had killed him
741
00:36:17,259 --> 00:36:18,927
and I had to cover up for her.
742
00:36:21,263 --> 00:36:23,181
That’s when I decided
to blame it on Gary Mannion.
743
00:36:23,348 --> 00:36:26,351
So you cleaned up any evidence
that Abby had been there.
744
00:36:26,518 --> 00:36:29,438
Yeah. Her pictures, any fingerprints.
745
00:36:29,605 --> 00:36:32,065
And I left as many of Gary...
746
00:36:32,232 --> 00:36:34,651
my own as I could,
747
00:36:34,818 --> 00:36:37,779
you know, like, on the hair dryer.
748
00:36:37,946 --> 00:36:39,406
And on the bourbon bottle and the glass?
749
00:36:39,573 --> 00:36:41,199
Yeah.
750
00:36:43,493 --> 00:36:46,955
The one thing I’m not gonna miss
is smokin’ those cigars of his.
751
00:36:48,999 --> 00:36:51,543
[Abby] I finally broke loose
and shoved him away
752
00:36:51,710 --> 00:36:54,379
and just ran out of the hotel
and took a taxi home.
753
00:36:54,546 --> 00:36:56,506
[Artie] Nothing else?
754
00:36:59,134 --> 00:37:01,053
That’s about all of it, Lieutenant.
755
00:37:01,219 --> 00:37:04,598
I have to admit, that’s a hell of a story.
756
00:37:04,765 --> 00:37:08,060
We always knew there was a mystery woman,
we just never knew who she was.
757
00:37:08,226 --> 00:37:10,103
Miss Peters absolutely fits
the description
758
00:37:10,270 --> 00:37:13,732
of several of the eyewitnesses
who saw her running out of the hotel.
759
00:37:13,899 --> 00:37:16,777
Jessica, I can’t tell you how happy I am
760
00:37:16,944 --> 00:37:19,112
that you convinced her to come forward.
761
00:37:19,279 --> 00:37:22,532
Believe me, Artie,
I wasn’t all that sure it would work out.
762
00:37:22,699 --> 00:37:24,826
And I figure two minutes from now,
763
00:37:24,993 --> 00:37:27,204
when we fingerprint you,
we’re gonna come up with
764
00:37:27,371 --> 00:37:30,082
a match for the only unidentified print
in the victim’s suite.
765
00:37:30,248 --> 00:37:33,126
And then, we’ll be able to nail
the case on Ben Forman.
766
00:37:33,293 --> 00:37:36,380
-But...
-[Artie] You told him what Kane did,
767
00:37:36,546 --> 00:37:39,591
Forman goes up there to avenge your honor
and kills the guy.
768
00:37:39,758 --> 00:37:41,760
And my Doris doesn’t do the same to me.
769
00:38:22,384 --> 00:38:23,677
Did I tell you, Doris?
770
00:38:23,844 --> 00:38:25,262
I’ll pick you up in 22 minutes.
771
00:38:25,429 --> 00:38:26,972
Good. Ciao.
772
00:38:32,561 --> 00:38:34,771
[phone rings]
773
00:38:45,073 --> 00:38:46,658
Gelber.
774
00:38:46,825 --> 00:38:48,785
Jessica, I can’t talk to you right now.
775
00:38:48,952 --> 00:38:50,287
You want me to what?
776
00:38:50,454 --> 00:38:52,080
Run a financial check?
777
00:38:52,247 --> 00:38:56,543
-And meet me at Abby Peters’ apartment.
-Jessica.
778
00:38:56,710 --> 00:38:59,421
Oh, and you can ask Abby
a couple of questions before you leave.
779
00:38:59,588 --> 00:39:02,257
Jessica, the case is closed.
Besides which, Doris--
780
00:39:02,424 --> 00:39:04,676
What we need to know for starters is
781
00:39:04,843 --> 00:39:07,596
would she happen to be
personally acquainted
782
00:39:07,763 --> 00:39:10,015
with a photographer named Hans Dietrich.
783
00:39:12,309 --> 00:39:14,478
Artie, I promise, this will not take long.
784
00:39:14,644 --> 00:39:16,730
It can’t take long.
785
00:39:16,897 --> 00:39:19,191
-Here. Here it is.
-So?
786
00:39:19,357 --> 00:39:21,151
Look at the mailing label.
787
00:39:21,318 --> 00:39:23,153
[Artie] So it’s addressed
to the photographer.
788
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:25,947
-Jessica, I don’t get it.
-Don’t you see?
789
00:39:26,114 --> 00:39:29,284
Abby told you that
she didn’t know this Dietrich fellow.
790
00:39:29,451 --> 00:39:33,163
Right. She claims she picked this up
at Harrison Kane’s hotel room.
791
00:39:33,330 --> 00:39:35,373
Kane can’t tell us
where he got it, obviously.
792
00:39:35,540 --> 00:39:38,835
Not that it would make
much of a difference. It means nothing.
793
00:39:39,002 --> 00:39:41,880
No, Artie, it means that
we can prove that neither Ben Forman
794
00:39:42,047 --> 00:39:44,424
nor Abby Peters murdered Mr. Kane.
795
00:39:48,386 --> 00:39:50,847
[Dean] I’m amazed how the advance copies
turned the bankers around.
796
00:39:51,014 --> 00:39:53,141
Well, I’m so pleased for you, Dean.
797
00:39:53,308 --> 00:39:54,935
Another 90 days to pay off our loans.
798
00:39:55,102 --> 00:39:58,230
This means we are almost out of the woods.
799
00:39:58,396 --> 00:40:00,273
I can’t believe
that my presence in Follies
800
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:01,608
had anything to do with that.
801
00:40:01,775 --> 00:40:04,277
Well, not by itself, obviously,
802
00:40:04,444 --> 00:40:07,823
but, Jessica, you really do underestimate
the public’s interest in you.
803
00:40:07,989 --> 00:40:10,992
You represent something very special.
804
00:40:11,159 --> 00:40:14,454
I hope you’re right about Ben’s innocence
and the young woman’s.
805
00:40:14,621 --> 00:40:17,124
I am so sorry I missed dinner.
806
00:40:17,290 --> 00:40:19,084
The ad agency people
couldn’t make up their minds,
807
00:40:19,251 --> 00:40:21,128
so we kept shooting take after take.
808
00:40:21,294 --> 00:40:23,547
Jessica, thank you
for keeping him entertained.
809
00:40:23,713 --> 00:40:25,173
It was my pleasure, Kathryn.
810
00:40:25,340 --> 00:40:27,050
As I was saying,
811
00:40:27,217 --> 00:40:30,345
Abby’s the one that
I am really worried about.
812
00:40:30,512 --> 00:40:33,306
I mean, the evidence is
really piling up against her
813
00:40:33,473 --> 00:40:37,352
and the police now feel
that robbery may have been the motive.
814
00:40:37,519 --> 00:40:39,020
Robbery?
815
00:40:39,187 --> 00:40:41,857
Well, it’s all a little vague.
816
00:40:42,023 --> 00:40:43,900
But according to my friend in homicide,
817
00:40:44,067 --> 00:40:45,986
they’re planning to go over
Abby’s apartment
818
00:40:46,153 --> 00:40:47,529
very, very carefully tomorrow
819
00:40:47,696 --> 00:40:49,948
and they expect to find some of the items
820
00:40:50,115 --> 00:40:52,200
that apparently were missing
from Mr. Kane’s hotel suite.
821
00:40:52,367 --> 00:40:56,163
At any rate, I hope you two
have a lovely time this evening.
822
00:40:56,329 --> 00:40:58,081
I wish you could join us at the theater.
823
00:40:58,248 --> 00:41:00,417
Oh, forget about it.
She is a driven woman.
824
00:41:00,542 --> 00:41:03,295
She can’t bear to be
away from her computer.
825
00:41:03,461 --> 00:41:07,090
If we hurry, we just may make the curtain.
826
00:41:30,530 --> 00:41:32,532
Jessica, what are you doing here?
827
00:41:32,699 --> 00:41:34,951
I think you know what, Kathryn.
828
00:41:35,118 --> 00:41:37,662
-You murdered Harrison Kane.
-That’s ridiculous.
829
00:41:37,829 --> 00:41:39,831
Well, then perhaps you can
explain why you’re here.
830
00:41:39,998 --> 00:41:43,668
I thought that I had forgotten something
last time I was here.
831
00:41:43,835 --> 00:41:45,879
You’ve never been here before, Kathryn.
832
00:41:46,046 --> 00:41:48,048
But you forgot something, all right.
833
00:41:48,215 --> 00:41:50,508
The magazine you took
from Hans Dietrich’s studio
834
00:41:50,675 --> 00:41:53,553
and inadvertently left
in Mr. Kane’s suite.
835
00:41:53,720 --> 00:41:55,555
And later, Miss Peters borrowed
the magazine from Kane
836
00:41:55,722 --> 00:41:57,015
and brought it home with her.
837
00:41:57,182 --> 00:41:59,309
That doesn’t mean that I murdered anyone.
838
00:41:59,476 --> 00:42:00,936
[Artie] Maybe not by itself,
839
00:42:01,102 --> 00:42:02,896
but that magazine alone isn’t
the only thing
840
00:42:03,063 --> 00:42:05,065
that can prove you were
in Mr. Kane’s suite.
841
00:42:05,232 --> 00:42:07,692
We kind of leaned on your pal,
Mr. Dietrich.
842
00:42:07,859 --> 00:42:11,279
Seems he took some pretty
intimate photographs of you and Mr. Kane.
843
00:42:11,446 --> 00:42:14,032
[Jessica] Also the fact that
you bought the story that I told Dean,
844
00:42:14,199 --> 00:42:17,535
obviously jogged your memory
about the magazine.
845
00:42:17,702 --> 00:42:19,204
And you realized it could be
traced to Hans Dietrich,
846
00:42:19,371 --> 00:42:20,622
and then, of course, back to you.
847
00:42:20,789 --> 00:42:23,250
So you came down here to retrieve it.
848
00:42:23,416 --> 00:42:26,503
That should be enough to convince
a jury of your guilt.
849
00:42:26,670 --> 00:42:29,214
Plus, I expect
when we search your belongings,
850
00:42:29,381 --> 00:42:32,592
Miss Scofield, we’ll find the missing key
that gave you access
851
00:42:32,759 --> 00:42:34,177
to the victim’s hotel rooms.
852
00:42:39,099 --> 00:42:40,517
I killed him.
853
00:42:42,435 --> 00:42:44,646
Doris... Doris, 30 minutes, okay?
854
00:42:44,813 --> 00:42:48,149
We’ll be up there in time for a nightcap
with Lorraine and what’s-his-name.
855
00:42:48,316 --> 00:42:50,527
Ernie, right. Anyway, gotta go.
856
00:42:50,694 --> 00:42:53,154
Excuse the interruption. Go on, Jessica.
857
00:42:53,321 --> 00:42:57,158
As I was saying, Lieutenant Gelber ran
a check on your finances...
858
00:42:57,325 --> 00:42:59,869
And you discovered the money
I’d advanced to Harrison.
859
00:43:00,036 --> 00:43:01,705
Half a million dollars, huh?
860
00:43:01,871 --> 00:43:04,958
Some parts of town,
those are still considered big bucks.
861
00:43:05,125 --> 00:43:07,752
I was hoping it would help ensure
getting his movie off the ground.
862
00:43:07,919 --> 00:43:09,629
With you as the female lead?
863
00:43:09,796 --> 00:43:11,881
I wanted a new life,
something more challenging
864
00:43:12,048 --> 00:43:15,093
than modeling the latest eye shadow
or the newest lip gloss.
865
00:43:15,260 --> 00:43:17,637
That got old a long time ago.
866
00:43:17,804 --> 00:43:21,641
I forgot that damn magazine
after Harrison and I had made love.
867
00:43:21,808 --> 00:43:23,977
[Jessica] But then you discovered
that he was insolvent,
868
00:43:24,144 --> 00:43:26,604
that he was all smoke and mirrors.
869
00:43:26,771 --> 00:43:29,524
Not only wouldn’t I have a new career,
870
00:43:29,691 --> 00:43:32,360
I would never see my money again.
871
00:43:32,527 --> 00:43:34,571
I felt used.
872
00:43:34,738 --> 00:43:36,990
Betrayed and swindled.
873
00:43:37,157 --> 00:43:38,950
So last night, you went up
to his suite and killed him.
874
00:43:39,117 --> 00:43:40,660
He was out.
875
00:43:40,827 --> 00:43:42,662
I let myself in with the other key
876
00:43:42,829 --> 00:43:45,457
and cleaned up anything I could think of
that might have indicated I was there.
877
00:43:45,623 --> 00:43:47,250
Except that you forgot the magazine.
878
00:43:47,917 --> 00:43:52,297
Then when I heard him coming in
with someone else, I hid in a closet.
879
00:43:52,464 --> 00:43:54,257
It was that little actress.
880
00:43:54,424 --> 00:43:56,468
Abby Peters.
881
00:43:56,634 --> 00:43:59,679
From where I was hiding,
I saw her put the magazine in her bag.
882
00:43:59,846 --> 00:44:01,514
I didn’t think it would matter.
883
00:44:01,681 --> 00:44:04,059
Anyway, a few minutes later,
he made a clumsy pass at her
884
00:44:04,225 --> 00:44:06,603
and she was out of there.
885
00:44:06,770 --> 00:44:09,272
Then I heard him filling the bathtub.
886
00:44:18,698 --> 00:44:19,532
[hairdryer whirs]
887
00:44:21,409 --> 00:44:22,243
[crackling]
888
00:44:24,329 --> 00:44:25,789
[Ben] Mr. Kane?
889
00:44:38,009 --> 00:44:39,636
Jessica, I still don’t understand
890
00:44:39,803 --> 00:44:41,638
how you knew about the magazine.
891
00:44:41,805 --> 00:44:44,516
Well, when I realized
that you’d worked with that photographer,
892
00:44:44,682 --> 00:44:46,476
Hans Dietrich,
893
00:44:46,643 --> 00:44:49,396
I recalled having seen
the mailing label on the magazine
894
00:44:49,562 --> 00:44:51,356
in Abby’s apartment, with his name on it.
895
00:44:51,523 --> 00:44:53,358
And I asked Lieutenant Gelber
896
00:44:53,525 --> 00:44:55,944
to ask her if she knew him,
or where she’d got it.
897
00:44:56,111 --> 00:44:58,321
[Artie] She'd never heard of the guy.
898
00:44:58,488 --> 00:45:00,740
But she remembered
taking the magazine from Kane’s room.
899
00:45:00,907 --> 00:45:02,742
We checked Kane’s appointment book.
900
00:45:02,909 --> 00:45:04,327
He never met with Dietrich.
901
00:45:04,494 --> 00:45:06,663
And then it became
a question of how did the magazine
902
00:45:06,830 --> 00:45:09,165
get into Mr. Kane’s suite.
903
00:45:09,332 --> 00:45:11,793
It seemed possible
that it might have been from you.
904
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,629
That’s when we ran
a search on your bank records
905
00:45:14,796 --> 00:45:17,340
and found those big withdrawals
of the mutual funds
906
00:45:17,507 --> 00:45:20,009
and the checks you wrote to Kane.
907
00:45:20,176 --> 00:45:22,178
I was counting on a couple of things.
908
00:45:22,345 --> 00:45:24,556
First, that you’d seen
Abby take the magazine
909
00:45:24,722 --> 00:45:27,684
and second, that you’d buy
my story about the police
910
00:45:27,851 --> 00:45:29,853
intending to search her apartment.
911
00:45:30,019 --> 00:45:31,146
It worked.
912
00:45:31,312 --> 00:45:32,814
I knew I had to retrieve it.
913
00:45:32,981 --> 00:45:36,568
It had my fingerprints all over it.
914
00:45:36,734 --> 00:45:41,030
I don’t regret killing Harrison Kane.
Not at all.
915
00:45:41,197 --> 00:45:43,783
He was a pig.
916
00:45:43,950 --> 00:45:45,577
[Jessica] Oh, that’s wonderful, Richie.
917
00:45:45,743 --> 00:45:47,704
Will you have them come right up? Thanks.
918
00:45:49,789 --> 00:45:52,625
That must’ve been awfully painful
for you, Dean.
919
00:45:52,792 --> 00:45:55,086
I’m glad that you’re taking it so well.
920
00:45:55,253 --> 00:45:56,671
Oh, please, please.
It could’ve been much worse.
921
00:45:56,838 --> 00:45:58,506
I could’ve married her.
922
00:45:58,673 --> 00:45:59,674
Jessica, you not only caught the murderer,
923
00:45:59,841 --> 00:46:01,301
but you saved me from myself
924
00:46:01,468 --> 00:46:04,137
and for that, I am forever in your debt.
925
00:46:04,304 --> 00:46:07,682
Good. I’ll let you know
when I’m ready to collect.
926
00:46:07,849 --> 00:46:09,893
Well, actually, I was hoping
you would accept
927
00:46:10,059 --> 00:46:12,645
partial payment by having dinner
with Ellen Harper and me.
928
00:46:12,812 --> 00:46:14,397
Well, how nice. Thank you.
929
00:46:14,564 --> 00:46:16,316
[knocking on door]
930
00:46:21,112 --> 00:46:22,780
Ah, Abby, Ben, come on in.
931
00:46:22,947 --> 00:46:24,324
-Hi.
-Hi, Jessica.
932
00:46:24,491 --> 00:46:26,534
Hi, Dean. Look, we can only stay a minute.
933
00:46:26,701 --> 00:46:29,287
We’re going on sort of a working vacation.
934
00:46:29,454 --> 00:46:31,122
Sounds interesting.
935
00:46:31,289 --> 00:46:33,541
He just got this terrific assignment
from Follies.
936
00:46:33,708 --> 00:46:36,961
Mm-hmm. And try to get it in
on time for a change.
937
00:46:37,128 --> 00:46:39,255
Abby’s gonna be doing this great role.
938
00:46:39,422 --> 00:46:41,174
A real plum at this little theater
in Connecticut.
939
00:46:41,341 --> 00:46:43,051
Oh, well, I certainly hope
that Gary Mannion
940
00:46:43,218 --> 00:46:44,761
isn’t negotiating your deal.
941
00:46:44,928 --> 00:46:47,805
We’ve severed that relationship.
942
00:46:47,972 --> 00:46:49,599
Ben is my manager now.
943
00:46:49,766 --> 00:46:51,100
And you should hear him
on the phone, Mrs. Fletcher.
944
00:46:51,267 --> 00:46:53,811
He is a regular killer.
