0:01:28 > 0:01:30He's outside awaiting the lock up.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32All right, thank you.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36The company was on their lunch break,
0:01:36 > 0:01:38no-one saw her come off the catwalk.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42'Life has burned too brightly in my breast
0:01:42 > 0:01:43'and I can no longer endure.'
0:01:46 > 0:01:47Suicide.
0:01:49 > 0:01:50Excuse me.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54Mary Beth. Want to take this to the lab, please?
0:01:59 > 0:02:03- What is wrong with you? - Nothing, I got something in my eye.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05- You're crying.- No, I'm not!
0:02:05 > 0:02:08I got some dust or something in my eye. It is very dusty here.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Mary Beth, talk to me, what is...?
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Do me a favour, Christine, don't argue.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16You're right, it is very dusty in here.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20I can't believe it.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25I can't believe that Noreen Dixon would commit suicide.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27There was nobody else in the theatre, Mary Beth,
0:02:27 > 0:02:30there was a suicide note found in her pocket,
0:02:30 > 0:02:32- there was nothing... - No, no, I don't mean that,
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Christine, I mean that she was Noreen Dixon.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Aw. Hey, listen to me, she was an actress.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Actresses are a little weird, you know that.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49- That is a very prejudiced thing to say, Christine.- What?
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Hey, I'm sorry, actresses are artists.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Everybody knows that artists have a couple of screws lose.
0:02:54 > 0:02:59- And none of us regular, ordinary people do?- I wouldn't say that.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Well, I wouldn't say that either.
0:03:06 > 0:03:07Mary Beth, wait up.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12- Hello!- Hey.- Hey!
0:03:14 > 0:03:16- How are you, babe?- Hiya.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Hiya.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27- You miss me?- Yeah.
0:03:27 > 0:03:28A lot.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33We are in great shape, Mary Beth. If the weather holds in Saratoga,
0:03:33 > 0:03:36we can start laying the foundation at the end of the month.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Oh, that's wonderful, sweetheart. That's wonderful.
0:03:40 > 0:03:45Oh. Hey, you seem a little down. Anything wrong?
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Noreen Dixon died today, Harv.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51- Oh, the movie star.- Yeah.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55- I thought she was already dead. - Harv!- Oh, I'm sorry, Mary Beth.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58- How did it happen? - Suicide, it looks like.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02- Oh.- I know it is silly, Harv, but I feel like I lost an old friend.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05- Remember her in Grand Destiny?- Yeah. - We saw that one on our first date.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Yeah. It's a real tearjerker.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11- And at that movie, that's when I knew I liked you.- Yeah.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13You were crying your eyes out
0:04:13 > 0:04:15and I was kicking myself for not having a handkerchief.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Yeah. I had to give you mine cos you were crying, too.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Oh, baby, they don't make them like they used to.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Oh, man.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26From Here To Eternity, that was my favourite.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Yeah, I'll never forget the first time I saw it.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31That movie got Angela and me so worked up,
0:04:31 > 0:04:33we just took off for Maryland.
0:04:35 > 0:04:36Maryland?
0:04:38 > 0:04:39What, you wanted seafood?
0:04:39 > 0:04:41No. Uh...
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Well, we were, uh...
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Underage.
0:04:48 > 0:04:49Underage for what?
0:04:50 > 0:04:51Who is Angela?
0:04:53 > 0:04:56HE SIGHS
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Mary Beth, I was 16-years-old, uh...
0:05:03 > 0:05:05I mean, I thought I was in love.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08I...I...I mean, you know how kids are.
0:05:08 > 0:05:09Uh...uh...
0:05:09 > 0:05:15Angela, she told her parents she was going to spend the night with
0:05:15 > 0:05:19a girlfriend and so we drove down to Maryland and we, uh, got...
0:05:19 > 0:05:22HE SIGHS
0:05:22 > 0:05:24- You got what?- Married.
0:05:28 > 0:05:29Married?
0:05:29 > 0:05:33Sweetheart, we didn't even spend the night together.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37I mean, we couldn't afford a motel room. So we drove back.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40We were going to try and borrow my brother's apartment,
0:05:40 > 0:05:45but Angela's father was waiting for us at the Jersey Turnpike and, yeah,
0:05:45 > 0:05:49he took us straight home and he got the marriage annulled the next day.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51So, you see, babe, it was nothing.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53SHE LAUGHS
0:05:53 > 0:05:54Angela!
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- The first Mrs Harvey Lacey. - Oh, Mary Beth.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02You better get ready for dinner, Harv.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06You're not mad, are you?
0:06:06 > 0:06:07Dinner is going to be ready soon, Harvey,
0:06:07 > 0:06:10and if you're not, it gets cold.
0:06:12 > 0:06:17Wow, yeah. Boy, it sure smells good, babe. What is it?
0:06:17 > 0:06:20You have your secrets, Harvey...
0:06:20 > 0:06:21So do I.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55- Good morning, Chris. - Oh, nice of you to come in.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Sorry, the subway was so jammed,
0:06:57 > 0:07:00I had to wait for three trains before I could get on.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- Who's Gordon Lazaroff? - Oh, he's a graphologist.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08He does handwriting analysis for the Document Examiners Office.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10They sent him Noreen Dixon's suicide note.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14- Claims he has discovered something very important.- What?
0:07:14 > 0:07:17I don't know. He says he has to come over and tell us in person.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19That's exactly how I wanted to spend my morning.
0:07:19 > 0:07:24- Maybe he really has something. - Maybe the next Pope will be Jewish.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27Maybe Mr Lazaroff will be single and good-looking.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Maybe the next Pope will be a woman.
0:07:29 > 0:07:30Sergeant Cagney.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32- Yes?- I'm Gordon Lazaroff.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- Yes, Mr Lazaroff. Please, won't you sit down?- Oh, thanks, yes.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40I'll try not to take too much of your time.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43We appreciate anything you can tell us, sir.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45You're very kind, most of the Department isn't.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48They think what I do is...strange.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52Some people even in my own office hum the theme from The Twilight Zone
0:07:52 > 0:07:54- when I walk by.- Hard to believe.
0:07:56 > 0:07:57Could you tell us,
0:07:57 > 0:08:01please, exactly what you found in the suicide note, Mr Lazaroff?
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Yes. You can see it very clearly right in this part here.
0:08:04 > 0:08:10'Life has burnt too brightly in my breast and I can no longer endure.'
0:08:10 > 0:08:14Now, look at the energy in the B loops -
0:08:14 > 0:08:16burnt, brightly, breast -
0:08:16 > 0:08:20and the way the Os are crossed - too, no -
0:08:20 > 0:08:24and look at the strength in those Ls - life, longer.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26This is not Noreen Dixon's handwriting.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Oh, no, no, it's hers all right.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30No, there's no doubt that Noreen Dixon wrote this note.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33So what is your point?
0:08:33 > 0:08:37When she wrote it, Noreen Dixon was not the least bit suicidal.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45How does this guy think you can write a suicide note without
0:08:45 > 0:08:46being suicidal?
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Well, sir, apparently this science of handwriting,
0:08:49 > 0:08:53graphology that is, has come a long way, sir, and they can tell things
0:08:53 > 0:08:56about the way a person is feeling from the energy of the loops
0:08:56 > 0:08:58and whether or not he or she is writing on the line
0:08:58 > 0:09:00- or under the line...- Cagney!
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Personally, I think it's a lot of bull.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04But you don't.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08Well, sir, I had a kind of feeling that maybe this wasn't a suicide.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12I mean, she doesn't seem to be a very likely type for suicide to me.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14And I thought so even before this handwriting business.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18Noreen Dixon is at the top of her profession.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Noreen Dixon has millions of fans all over the world.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Now, why would she want to kill herself?
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Evidence. When do we get the ME's report?
0:09:30 > 0:09:32- Any minute now, sir.- All right,
0:09:32 > 0:09:34- so let me know when it comes in. - Yes, sir.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Cagney, you got a minute?
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Yeah, sure.
0:09:41 > 0:09:42Maybe you better sit down.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47- Do you want me to close the door? - Yeah, please.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Cagney, you know a lot of classy ladies.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Well, I need one of those for this thing I got to go to.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03You want me to...find you a date?
0:10:03 > 0:10:06It's black tie and it's Friday night.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08- This Friday?!- Yes.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Short notice, I know that, I'm sorry,
0:10:10 > 0:10:12but the woman that I was going to take,
0:10:12 > 0:10:15it turns out that she's got other plans that night.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Lieutenant, I'm not even sure I'd know your type. Maybe you should...
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Well, she should be good-looking, but not a Miss Universe.
0:10:23 > 0:10:24Beautiful but not a stunner.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26And she should be intelligent.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28But, you know,
0:10:28 > 0:10:31not so smart that I don't know what she's talking about.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33No rocket scientists, huh?
0:10:33 > 0:10:38And she should have a good sense of humour, a nice laugh.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40But she doesn't have to be a stand-up comic.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42So forget Joan Rivers.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45And if she's a little younger, well, I can handle that.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48But no teeny boppers, OK?
0:10:49 > 0:10:50Well, Lieutenant,
0:10:50 > 0:10:53most of the women I know are a little more sophisticated than that.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Oh, yeah, sure. What am I worried about?
0:10:56 > 0:10:59If she's a friend of yours, chances are she's no spring chicken.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11- The ME's report.- Yeah? - Finding of the autopsy.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13This is not what you could call a simple suicide.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16And I think I could tell you who done it, too.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20We apologize for bothering you again, ladies and gentlemen.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23We know that you have already given your statements,
0:11:23 > 0:11:25but we have to check some facts here.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28And make sure that we have them all right.
0:11:28 > 0:11:33OK, you, you're Iris McIntyre, the late Ms Dixon's understudy.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36- Am I correct, ma'am? - I am the producer, Gerilee Thackeray.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Or I was when we still had a play.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40And those rumours about her being the Beast of Broadway
0:11:40 > 0:11:43- are simply untrue. - Cute.- She stoops to conquer.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48- You must be the playwright, Mr Eric...- Webber, right.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50I was also the director.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Isn't that a little unusual, Mr Webber,
0:11:53 > 0:11:56- for a playwright to direct his own play?- Noreen insisted.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00- That way she thought she could really direct the play herself.- Cute.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04So, you must be Iris Redfern, Ms Dixon's secretary.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07No, I was her understudy.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11- Jean McIntyre.- Oh, gee, I got you all mixed up.
0:12:11 > 0:12:12So...
0:12:14 > 0:12:19- You must be Iris Redfern.- Yes. - Ms Dixon's secretary.- That's right.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Well, at least we all know who you are, sir.
0:12:23 > 0:12:28Who among us would not recognize Mr Chet Gardner,
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Ms Dixon's co-star in so many of her movies.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33And here, too, I'm afraid.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35And second billing once again.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr Gardner, I've loved all your movies.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40What a lovely compliment.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Especially from such a charming young lady.
0:12:46 > 0:12:47Thank you.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49I mean, you're welcome.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51You were married to Ms Dixon for a time, sir.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Am I right? Her death must have been a terrible shock.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56About as terrible as our marriage.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59I thanked my lucky stars when Noreen divorced me.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Oh. Ok.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09Well, I think I got you all straight.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13Oh, gee, this is great!
0:13:13 > 0:13:15I love the theatre!
0:13:15 > 0:13:18We never could go much when I was a kid.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20It was a big treat, big treat.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Well, thank you.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25How Do I Love Thee? It's the name of the play, huh?
0:13:25 > 0:13:28It's about Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Oh, I love her poetry.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33"How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37"I love thee to the depth and breadth and height my soul can..."
0:13:37 > 0:13:39What is that, make-up?
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Noreen and Chet came out during intermission
0:13:41 > 0:13:44and did a make-up transformation into their character's later years.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48Yes, I did it downstage left and she sat over there.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Right here in front of the audience.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Huh, isn't that something?
0:13:53 > 0:13:55What is this?
0:13:55 > 0:13:57It's for the neck. Noreen was very proud, she had to wear it.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00She had very few wrinkles for a woman her age.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03I saw about this once on TV how they do this.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06They stick it on with this here.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Spirit gum, they call it.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11That's got kind of a strong smell, huh?
0:14:11 > 0:14:14You take this, you put it on the rubber thing,
0:14:14 > 0:14:17and then you stick the rubber thing on your neck.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Detective, I wouldn't put that on.
0:14:19 > 0:14:20I'll be very careful.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23You may have an allergy to spirit gum, a lot of people do.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26- Thanks, I can't afford allergies. - Detective, please don't.- Why not?
0:14:26 > 0:14:28Ms McIntyre,
0:14:28 > 0:14:32because you know it's dangerous to put this spirit gum on one's neck?
0:14:33 > 0:14:37That spirit gum has traces of synthetic arsenic in it.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40- Which you've been using to poison Noreen Dixon.- What?!
0:14:47 > 0:14:49Ms McIntyre, I'm afraid we're going to have to take you
0:14:49 > 0:14:51downtown for questioning.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57I told you, I didn't want to kill her.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00The medical examiner confirmed there was not enough arsenic to kill her.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02It's still attempted murder, Ms McIntyre.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04I only wanted her to miss a few performances -
0:15:04 > 0:15:06the last few previews and opening night.
0:15:06 > 0:15:11- So you could be reviewed by the critics?- I am 55-years-old.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14My career was never secure like Noreen's.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16I still have to worry about my next job.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Well, wouldn't people think it was funny,
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Ms Dixon missing her opening night like that?
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Noreen was famous for what she called her little sinking spells.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26She'd pulled them before on opening night.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Can I get this straight?
0:15:28 > 0:15:31You say you have no hard feelings for Ms Dixon,
0:15:31 > 0:15:36you just wanted to help your career by poisoning her?
0:15:38 > 0:15:41All right, you'll find out sooner or later.
0:15:43 > 0:15:44I didn't kill her...
0:15:45 > 0:15:49..but I hated Noreen Dixon more than I've ever hated anyone in my life.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53We met when we were both ingenues back in summer stock.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56In one play, I had the lead, she was my sister.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58We had a big emotional scene where she had to slap me.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02At our dress rehearsal, she accidentally forgot to
0:16:02 > 0:16:06take off her ring, cut my face all the way to the eye.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09I went to the hospital and Noreen went on in my place.
0:16:11 > 0:16:12You don't think she did that on purpose?
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Oh, absolutely.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Oh, I know what you're thinking,
0:16:19 > 0:16:22"Millions of people loved Noreen Dixon."
0:16:22 > 0:16:24But they never knew what she really was.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38OK, so the understudy has an airtight for the time of death.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40This producer could have pushed Noreen Dixon off that catwalk.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Forensics didn't find anything to prove she was pushed.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46They didn't find anything to prove she wasn't.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49The producer does make a fortune due to Ms Dixon's death.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52You think she's the type to kill for money?
0:16:52 > 0:16:53Vito! Vito, no.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Be careful with that backdrop, it costs a mint
0:16:56 > 0:16:58and I want to use it again. Oh, hello, ladies.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01I can give you exactly five minutes of my time. Oh, love the coat.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04This is a homicide investigation, Ms Thackeray.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Well, you arrested Jean McIntyre, I thought it was over.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09She was charged with felonious assault and released on bail.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11There's no actual evidence that she killed Ms Dixon.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15I see, so, uh, I'm a suspect again.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18We found out something quite interesting, Ms Thackeray.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21You had trouble insuring this production, didn't you?
0:17:21 > 0:17:25Every company in town knows about Noreen Dixon's reputation.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Apparently, you had to settle for a policy with a special clause
0:17:28 > 0:17:30in it - you weren't covered if she got sick.
0:17:30 > 0:17:31The only way you could cash in on your play
0:17:31 > 0:17:35if it failed to open was if Ms Dixon died.
0:17:35 > 0:17:36In case you've forgotten,
0:17:36 > 0:17:39I accounted for my whereabouts at the time of Noreen's death.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Yes. In your original statement,
0:17:41 > 0:17:44you said you went to have lunch with your accountant.
0:17:44 > 0:17:45And he confirmed it!
0:17:45 > 0:17:48The waiter said that you were gone from the table when the salad
0:17:48 > 0:17:52was served and the stage doorman remembers your coming back here.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55- Well, I forgot my appointment book, that's why I came back.- Uh-huh.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58- Did you see Noreen Dixon when you came back?- No.
0:17:58 > 0:18:02But, well, I could hear her going over her lines in the orchestra pit.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04I knew better than to bother her.
0:18:04 > 0:18:09- Why's that?- Well, Noreen had a tendency to, um...scream at people.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12You didn't like her very much, did you?
0:18:12 > 0:18:15SHE LAUGHS
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Our relationship was a legend in show business.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22Everybody knew we loathed each other.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31Years ago, Noreen broke up my marriage.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35Well, that particular husband I happened to love...very much.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37A month after the divorce,
0:18:37 > 0:18:41- Noreen dropped him. I think she did it deliberately.- Why?
0:18:41 > 0:18:45Well, Noreen loved making people miserable.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Ms Thackeray, we'll probably be wanting to talk to you again
0:18:47 > 0:18:50later, so you'll certainly let us know if you have to leave town?
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Certainly. Certainly!
0:18:53 > 0:18:57Oh, I wasn't the only one who could have cheerfully killed Noreen,
0:18:57 > 0:19:00almost everyone I know had something against her.
0:19:00 > 0:19:01Ta!
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Not exactly Miss Congeniality.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Sometimes, Christine, when people are on top,
0:19:08 > 0:19:10- other people get jealous.- Jealous?
0:19:10 > 0:19:13We've heard things about Noreen Dixon that make Lady Macbeth
0:19:13 > 0:19:15look like Mary Poppins.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Maybe you shouldn't believe everything you hear, Christine.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Thank you.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Thank you.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35I played this part in college.
0:19:35 > 0:19:36A saint!
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Interesting casting.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41I was very good.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46The director was kind of a jerk. But I played all ten performances.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49It was my last fling at acting, however.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54I feel kind of funny going through her belongings, Christine.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56She'll forgive you, Mary Beth.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Especially if we find out which one of her friends bumped her off.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Come here, look at this.
0:20:10 > 0:20:11Look at this here.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15'My Life Upon The Wicked Stage, by Noreen Dixon.'
0:20:15 > 0:20:18- Her memoirs?- Oh...- What?- Let me.
0:20:26 > 0:20:27So where are they?
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Uh, leave a message when you come in, please.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Ms Dixon's secretary didn't answer,
0:20:39 > 0:20:42so I left a message on the writer's machine.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Well, they should all be at the memorial service tomorrow.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48If the writer and the secretary don't know about the missing
0:20:48 > 0:20:50memoirs, somebody else will.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Do you have any single friends, Mary Beth?
0:20:56 > 0:20:59It's not for me, it's for a friend.
0:20:59 > 0:21:03A male friend. I have to get a date for this guy I know.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06- Can you tell me anything about this man?- No.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10- Christine!- I think that my friend would prefer that I remain discreet.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13You're asking me to blindly set this fellow up on a blind date?
0:21:13 > 0:21:15You don't want to help me, you don't have to.
0:21:15 > 0:21:16I'd like to help you, Christine.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18You're not giving me much to go on here.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24I've called everybody I know. Laura Carter's getting engaged.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27Nikki Levine just moved back in with her ex-husband.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29And Julia Barker gave up men for Lent.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31I tell you, women friends, they're a dying breed.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Sure for somebody who spends their time only with men.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55You missed a great musical, babe.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00I was not in the mood for Nelson Eddy and Jeanette MacDonald.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03You're not going to wear that stuff to bed?
0:22:03 > 0:22:05This is deep cleansing, Harvey.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08I can't get deep cleansing in five minutes.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12Directions said overnight.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14About as long as your first marriage.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Mary Beth, I don't know what you want from me.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19- The truth would've been nice. - I told you the truth.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22By accident, after 17 years.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25- You think you know a person.- Babe, it never occurred to me to tell you.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Sure, I'm only the second wife.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Dammit, Mary Beth, it didn't mean anything!
0:22:29 > 0:22:31We were married less than a total of 24 hours.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34And then it completely slipped your mind.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37OK, OK, you want to know what it was? It was sex!
0:22:37 > 0:22:38Not in front of the baby, Harvey!
0:22:38 > 0:22:40That's what it was, we wanted to do it,
0:22:40 > 0:22:42but we felt too guilty if we weren't married.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44- Is this supposed to be making me feel better?- Dammit,
0:22:44 > 0:22:47we didn't get near a bed. The father caught us before we did anything more
0:22:47 > 0:22:50than kiss!
0:22:50 > 0:22:51Poetic justice.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57APPLAUSE
0:23:01 > 0:23:06Ladies and gentlemen, I thank you all for coming this afternoon.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Would you look at that man?
0:23:08 > 0:23:11- Huh? 20 years, he hasn't aged one bit.- Shh!
0:23:11 > 0:23:13..as dear Noreen used to say.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18That wherever she is, she is touched and gladdened...
0:23:18 > 0:23:21If everybody hated Noreen Dixon so much,
0:23:21 > 0:23:23how come there isn't an empty seat?
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Give the people what they want, Mary Beth, they'll show up for it.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30No-one more than I know what the passing of our beloved Noreen
0:23:30 > 0:23:32really means - the sudden emptiness...
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Makes you want to throw up, doesn't it?
0:23:34 > 0:23:36I told Chet I'd write him a eulogy, but no,
0:23:36 > 0:23:39he insisted on giving his own. Actors!
0:23:39 > 0:23:42He could read the phone book.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44- Still the sexiest man in the world.- Will you please!
0:23:44 > 0:23:47So you said you wanted to know about Noreen's memoirs, huh?
0:23:47 > 0:23:50- Have you seen them?- Oh, no, Noreen wouldn't let anybody read them.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54She took them with her everywhere. That scared poor Chet to death.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57And her greatest qualities always came out in the littlest ways.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59- For instance...- Scare Mr Gardner?
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Well, for 20 years, she threatened to tell his secret to the world.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Every time Noreen wanted to get Chet,
0:24:04 > 0:24:07she'd just haul out those precious memoirs that supposedly told all.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Told all what?
0:24:09 > 0:24:11You're kidding.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13I thought everybody in New York knew,
0:24:13 > 0:24:15even if they didn't in Peoria.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19Noreen and Chet were married in name only.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21He's as gay as the 1890s.
0:24:21 > 0:24:22With regal grandeur,
0:24:22 > 0:24:25she stepped out of that limousine and, with a wave of her hand,
0:24:25 > 0:24:27she stopped that traffic cold!
0:24:27 > 0:24:30And I thought, "This, this is a true lady."
0:24:30 > 0:24:34Sergeant, there were times I could have annihilated Noreen.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36But I am an actor -
0:24:36 > 0:24:39I don't do such things in real life any more than you do.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43You and Ms Dixon went back a long ways, didn't you, Mr Gardner?
0:24:43 > 0:24:48Your first picture together, Broadway Babies, 1950. Am I right?
0:24:48 > 0:24:50As much as I hate to admit it, yes.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53I'll tell you our whole sordid story over a pot of tea.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56- Please, make yourselves comfortable. - Oh, thank you.
0:24:59 > 0:25:00Another fantasy down the tubes.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05Still, he has nice eyes, don't you think?
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Mary Beth, look at this.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18- Come here!- Oh, no.- Come here!
0:25:18 > 0:25:20If this is another secret, I'm not so sure I want to know.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Remember when Chet Gardner said he didn't steal Noreen's memoirs?
0:25:23 > 0:25:25- Yes.- How do you think he's going to explain that?
0:25:27 > 0:25:29'My Life Upon The Wicked Stage, by Noreen Dixon.'
0:25:32 > 0:25:34That's kind of coincidental, isn't it, Christine?
0:25:34 > 0:25:37It is like something out of an Agatha Christie book.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45KNOCK ON DOOR Yeah, sweetheart.
0:25:45 > 0:25:46Be with you in a minute.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51KNOCK ON DOOR Yes, honey.
0:25:55 > 0:25:56- Hi.- Thank you.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02What is all this? Where is everybody?
0:26:02 > 0:26:05The boys are at my mother's, Alice is asleep.
0:26:14 > 0:26:15It's for you, babe.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20- Feeling pretty guilty, aren't you, Harvey?- Huh?
0:26:22 > 0:26:24You went to a lot of trouble here.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28I'm trying to make up, Mary Beth.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Is this what worked on your first wife?
0:26:30 > 0:26:32For crying out loud, would you leave it alone?
0:26:32 > 0:26:35You been mad longer than I was married.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38It's not the marriage, Harv, it's the deceit.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40OK, OK, so I didn't tell you,
0:26:40 > 0:26:44but I could have kept a lot worse secrets from you, Mary Beth.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46I could've...I could've been an axe murderer.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48I could've been...I could've been a slumlord.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51But no, no, I made a bigger mistake,
0:26:51 > 0:26:53I got married once, for one day!
0:26:55 > 0:26:57And now, I'm going to have to be crucified for it
0:26:57 > 0:26:59- the rest of my life.- Harvey...
0:26:59 > 0:27:02- Here, you eat the dinner, I'm going out!- Harvey, wait a minute.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04You know, it could've been a lot worse,
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Mary Beth, I could have worked for the CIA.
0:27:19 > 0:27:20Cagney.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28- Good morning, Lieutenant.- Would you tell me what is going on?
0:27:28 > 0:27:30- I beg your pardon? - My date, have you found her yet?
0:27:32 > 0:27:35Lieutenant, you know, if you had just given me more notice...
0:27:35 > 0:27:37Yeah, I understand, I understand.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40- I tried.- Oh, yeah, sure, I understand. Thanks.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43Maybe I should talk to Isbecki. The other day I overheard him
0:27:43 > 0:27:46raving about some female musician friend of his.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49Cheryl Carey.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51- Sherry Carey?- Yeah, you know her?
0:27:51 > 0:27:55She is a stripper who plays the accordion, Lieutenant.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Wouldn't make the right impression.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00What is this event you are supposed to go to anyway?
0:28:00 > 0:28:02Well, it is sort of a celebration, you know?
0:28:02 > 0:28:06My son, my kid, David, he has managed to put together enough money
0:28:06 > 0:28:09to buy into a restaurant.
0:28:09 > 0:28:10Why don't you take Thelma?
0:28:10 > 0:28:12Cagney, remember I told you
0:28:12 > 0:28:15about this woman that I wanted to take but she had other plans?
0:28:15 > 0:28:17That was Thelma.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21She's going already, with an airline pilot that she has been dating.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25Thin and, uh, tall.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27With a lot of hair.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29Certainly not my type.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31Didn't used to be Thelma's.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38- Lieutenant, I do know somebody who would fit the bill.- Oh, yeah?
0:28:39 > 0:28:42- She's a workaholic. - I can relate to that.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45- She's fun.- I've got nothing against fun once in a while.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47Is it a problem if she works in the Department?
0:28:47 > 0:28:50Hell no! No, what precinct is she in?
0:28:50 > 0:28:5214th.
0:28:54 > 0:28:55Are you serious?
0:28:55 > 0:28:57Every now and then.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59That's...that's just great.
0:29:02 > 0:29:06Um, cocktails start at six o'clock.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08And then a buffet dinner after that.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12- I'll pick you up, OK?- OK.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16Uh, Cagney.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19- You know, you don't have to do this. - Yeah, I know.
0:29:24 > 0:29:29Yes, sir, and she had received the advance and everything was...?
0:29:29 > 0:29:32But you never saw any of the actual manuscript ever?
0:29:34 > 0:29:36All right.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40Thank you very much. Bye-bye.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43- What was that all about? - Noreen Dixon's publisher.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45He said Noreen Dixon never turned in any of her memoirs.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48Maybe she was holding out until they were all finished.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50Or maybe she never started.
0:29:50 > 0:29:54Lab findings on the ashes from the fireplace - negative for ink.
0:29:54 > 0:29:58- You mean the whole thing was blank? - Except for the title page.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01Somebody only wanted us to think they were the missing memoirs.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06I didn't kill her.
0:30:06 > 0:30:10- I swear, I didn't!- Either way, we could take you in for obstruction.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13- You burned those memoirs. - Fake memoirs, fake!
0:30:13 > 0:30:16She carried around blank pages and tantalized everyone with them
0:30:16 > 0:30:18for 20 years.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20So, you burned up blank pages and the title page
0:30:20 > 0:30:22and you planted them in Chet Gardner's apartment.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24Chet has to be the killer.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26I was sure that once you were on to him, Chet would confess.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29If you had reason to believe that Chet Gardner was guilty,
0:30:29 > 0:30:32- why didn't you come forward? - I didn't think you would believe me.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34I have written enough mysteries to know what it takes to convict
0:30:34 > 0:30:37someone - I don't have that kind of proof. But I know how he did it.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39Noreen was rehearsing in the pit.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41She wouldn't hear Gardner sneak up on her.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44He knocks her out and then he throws her over his shoulder, just like
0:30:44 > 0:30:46he did with LaFlor in Pirates Cove, and then he climbs up a ladder,
0:30:46 > 0:30:50and he walks across the catwalk, and then he throws her off.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54Isn't Chet Gardner a little old for that, Mr Webber?
0:30:54 > 0:30:56Chet Gardner is in very good shape.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59LAUGHTER
0:30:59 > 0:31:01That's very funny, Eric.
0:31:01 > 0:31:05- I didn't know you did comedy. - I don't find murder very amusing.
0:31:05 > 0:31:06Neither do I.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09But the idea of Chet Gardner climbing into the fly loft...
0:31:09 > 0:31:11You should look up from your typewriter more often.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13What are you talking about?
0:31:13 > 0:31:16- Chet Gardner is afraid of heights. - What?
0:31:16 > 0:31:21- That isn't true!- Trust me, stuntmen live off of Chet Gardner.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23The man gets nose bleeds if he stands on a chair.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25So much for that theory.
0:31:25 > 0:31:26Maybe you should ask Eric why he is
0:31:26 > 0:31:28so anxious to prove Chet Gardner killed Noreen.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31He has a very interesting reason, don't you, Eric?
0:31:31 > 0:31:32Or maybe you should ask Iris Redfern.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34You play your little games with someone else, Gerilee,
0:31:34 > 0:31:36I don't enjoy them.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43You care to explain what you just said, Ms Thackeray?
0:31:43 > 0:31:46Moi?
0:31:46 > 0:31:48You haven't been very straight with us, neither one of you.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51- I don't know what you mean.- Well, my partner loves old movies,
0:31:51 > 0:31:53Ms Redfern.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56And she remembers that Noreen Dixon had played a character named Iris...
0:31:56 > 0:31:59- Mayfield. - Around the time that you were born.
0:31:59 > 0:32:04- In All My Tomorrows, with David Niven.- So we did some checking.
0:32:04 > 0:32:09We found out that you, Iris Redfern, are Ms Dixon's niece.
0:32:09 > 0:32:10Since when is nepotism a crime?
0:32:10 > 0:32:14Nepotism is not, Mr Webber, but fabrication of evidence is.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17You went out of your way to set up Chet Gardner
0:32:17 > 0:32:18as Noreen Dixon's murderer, why?
0:32:18 > 0:32:21- I told you, I thought... - I know what you told us.
0:32:21 > 0:32:25What you didn't tell us is that you and Ms Redfern are rather involved.
0:32:25 > 0:32:27Ms Thackeray said that Noreen Dixon
0:32:27 > 0:32:29had forbidden the two of you to see each other.
0:32:30 > 0:32:34Ms Thackeray also told us that you were rather bitter about that.
0:32:34 > 0:32:35Working night and day for a prima donna
0:32:35 > 0:32:37who wouldn't let you have a private life of your own.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Maybe bitter enough to kill for your freedom.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42Oh, come on, that's ridiculous. Iris couldn't murder anyone.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44Why should we believe you, Mr Webber?
0:32:44 > 0:32:46You've already lied about Chet Gardner,
0:32:46 > 0:32:48setting him up to protect your girlfriend here.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50I did not kill my aunt.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54She was mean and vain and impossible to work for,
0:32:54 > 0:32:57but she was also the only family I have left.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59I could have never hurt her.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02Eric lied to protect me because he knew
0:33:02 > 0:33:05I didn't have an alibi the afternoon she died.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07It was a mistake, that's all.
0:33:10 > 0:33:11Because he loves me.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17Haven't you ever been in love?
0:33:19 > 0:33:22I guess we can scratch them off.
0:33:22 > 0:33:23What is that supposed to mean?
0:33:23 > 0:33:26Well, you saw them, Christine, they're lovers, not murderers.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29Oh, you're breaking my heart, Mary Beth.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31They were lying to protect one another.
0:33:31 > 0:33:34Christine, do you really think that those two people murdered
0:33:34 > 0:33:36Noreen Dixon?
0:33:36 > 0:33:38At this point, I think they all could have done it,
0:33:38 > 0:33:40and probably wanted to.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45Cynic, you are a cynic, Christine.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48- My money is on the producer.- No way, it's got to be Chet Gardner,
0:33:48 > 0:33:50he is the only one man enough to carry her up to the catwalk.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52He is afraid of heights, Isbecki.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54That's like saying John Wayne is afraid of horses.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56Maybe it was the playwright, he tried to frame them.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58He had a tasty thing going with the niece.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00She probably inherits a fat piece of change if it's a homicide.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03Yeah, but don't forget the understudy, she tried to poison her.
0:34:03 > 0:34:07- Where is Ms Marple when we need her? - Wait a minute!
0:34:07 > 0:34:10Maybe it is like Murder On The Orient Express,
0:34:10 > 0:34:12- maybe they all did it! - Colonel Mustard did it.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15- In the library.- With a pipe wrench. - Cut it out.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18I would like to remind you people, this is a homicide here,
0:34:18 > 0:34:20it's not some game.
0:34:20 > 0:34:24- A great star lost her life. - We know that, Mary Beth.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26Good, cos I couldn't tell.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28I mean, this may be a lot of fun for all of you,
0:34:28 > 0:34:30but it wasn't too terrific for Noreen Dixon.
0:34:30 > 0:34:34You want to play games, go ahead, count me out.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38- What's eating her?- She's a fan.- Ah.
0:34:40 > 0:34:41Too bad there's no butler.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43LAUGHTER
0:35:00 > 0:35:03Are we going to work this out or what?
0:35:03 > 0:35:07How long are you going to continue acting like a teenager, Mary Beth?
0:35:07 > 0:35:09Did you love Angela?
0:35:09 > 0:35:13Yeah, as much as you can love somebody when you're 16-years-old.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18That's how old you were the first time...
0:35:18 > 0:35:20Was she the one?
0:35:20 > 0:35:21Yeah, but that was much later.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26We were supposed to not see each other,
0:35:26 > 0:35:30so we sneaked off to my brother's place - Romeo and Juliet.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32You don't have to tell me all the details, Harvey.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34Oh, honey, that was such a long time ago.
0:35:37 > 0:35:41What Angela and I felt for each other, that was puppy love.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43It was a warm-up for the real thing.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50It wasn't the marriage, Harvey, it was the secrets.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52I felt like I didn't know you,
0:35:52 > 0:35:56like I had been with some stranger the whole time.
0:35:56 > 0:35:57Honey, I swear, I didn't mean
0:35:57 > 0:36:00to keep any secrets. I had almost forgotten.
0:36:01 > 0:36:06I want us to be honest, Harvey, not like the rest of the world.
0:36:06 > 0:36:07I promise.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09I cross my heart.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18So this Angela, was she pretty?
0:36:18 > 0:36:20We're being honest here, Harvey.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22How honest?
0:36:24 > 0:36:26Never mind.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43"Guess now who holds the...
0:36:45 > 0:36:47"..death," I said.
0:36:48 > 0:36:52But there the silver answer rang -
0:36:52 > 0:36:54not death,
0:36:54 > 0:36:55but love.
0:37:00 > 0:37:04I love thee with the love that I seem to lose with my lost saints.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09I love the with the breath, smiles,
0:37:09 > 0:37:11tears of all my life.
0:37:18 > 0:37:19And, if God choose...
0:37:21 > 0:37:23..I shall but love thee better after death.
0:37:25 > 0:37:26Ah!
0:37:27 > 0:37:28Great stuff.
0:37:51 > 0:37:55- Good morning, Christine. What is going on?- I read the play.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58Yeah, we both read the play. There was nothing in it.
0:37:58 > 0:38:02I read Noreen Dixon's copy. It was a very illuminating. Come with me.
0:38:09 > 0:38:13In the scripts we read, there was no mention of suicide.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15Elizabeth Barrett Browning didn't commit suicide.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17I know it, but Noreen Dixon thought she should have.
0:38:17 > 0:38:21And in her version of the play, she tore out the last scene
0:38:21 > 0:38:23and rewrote a whole new one.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25The only thing missing is the last speech.
0:38:27 > 0:38:28- The suicide note.- Exactly!
0:38:28 > 0:38:30That's why she wasn't suicidal when she wrote it,
0:38:30 > 0:38:33these are just words her character was supposed to say.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35I told you actresses are weird!
0:38:35 > 0:38:37You think the rest of them know about the note?
0:38:37 > 0:38:42- Theatre is a small world. - So... What now?
0:38:42 > 0:38:45We can't even prove it's murder, never mind who did it.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47I want to look at the catwalk up there,
0:38:47 > 0:38:49see if forensics missed anything.
0:38:55 > 0:38:58- Why don't you just look around down here?- Right.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30Mary Beth!
0:39:30 > 0:39:32Help!
0:39:34 > 0:39:37Christine! What are you doing down there?
0:39:37 > 0:39:39Here, Mary Beth!
0:39:40 > 0:39:42Where? I can't see you.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45Whoooooooa!
0:39:45 > 0:39:47Christine!
0:39:47 > 0:39:49What are you doing?
0:39:49 > 0:39:53- Peter Pan.- Your voice was coming from the orchestra pit.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55I'll explain it later, OK?
0:39:55 > 0:39:59Just get me down from here.
0:39:59 > 0:40:00Sure, Chris.
0:40:03 > 0:40:04Hang on, OK?
0:40:13 > 0:40:15This theatre plays an acoustical trick -
0:40:15 > 0:40:18you all thought that Ms Dixon did her rehearsing in the orchestra pit
0:40:18 > 0:40:21during your lunch hour because it seemed as though her voice
0:40:21 > 0:40:22were coming from there.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25But in reality, she was on the catwalk every day!
0:40:27 > 0:40:30But it sounded as though her voice was coming from the pit.
0:40:30 > 0:40:35On the day she died, Noreen Dixon was up there, as usual.
0:40:35 > 0:40:40She was rehearsing a very emotional scene,
0:40:40 > 0:40:42the scene she was hoping Mr Webber might put in his play.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44Which you were all aware of.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48Unfortunately,
0:40:48 > 0:40:50Ms Dixon got a little carried away with what she was doing
0:40:50 > 0:40:54and she leaned her weight against a faulty gate in the railing.
0:40:54 > 0:40:55The gate swung open...
0:41:00 > 0:41:01And she fell.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08- So it wasn't murder. - It was an accident.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10It was death by overacting.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20God, I am so tired.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22That was very crazy up there, Christine.
0:41:22 > 0:41:23Yep.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26Chet Gardner would've had his stuntman do it.
0:41:30 > 0:41:33- Go home, get some rest. - That's what I'm going to do.
0:41:34 > 0:41:38A hot bath, a stiff drink and 12 hours of uninterrupted deep sleep.
0:41:40 > 0:41:41What are you going to do?
0:41:41 > 0:41:44Oh, Harvey is trying to get me to go to the movies.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47I don't know if I ever want to go to the movies again.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51- Good night, Chris.- Good night.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56Oh, Lieutenant,
0:41:56 > 0:41:59- you look like a million dollars. - Thank you.
0:41:59 > 0:42:00Have a lovely time, sir.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03- Thank you, Lacey.- Good night. - Good night.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16Good evening, Cagney.
0:42:19 > 0:42:23- Lieutenant, hi. You look great! - It's a rental. Nice, huh,
0:42:23 > 0:42:27to know there's other guys around exactly my size.
0:42:27 > 0:42:29- Yeah, I was just on my way home to get dressed.- Cagney.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32- All I need is 30...45 minutes tops. - Cagney, please, listen.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34You said cocktails aren't until six o'clock, right?
0:42:34 > 0:42:38Cagney, I hope you understand, but I changed my mind.
0:42:38 > 0:42:39I thought, you know,
0:42:39 > 0:42:42it would be better if I would hack this on my own.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44You're just saying that because I look tired.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47You give me a couple cups of coffee and I'll dance all night.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49I thought I told you, though,
0:42:49 > 0:42:52that dragging somebody else to this, it doesn't make any sense.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56What, I should impress Thelma?
0:42:56 > 0:43:00Thelma is going to be impressed tonight by our son.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02- You sure?- Yeah.
0:43:02 > 0:43:05Now why don't you get out of here, huh? Go on home, get some sleep.
0:43:05 > 0:43:07All right, I will.
0:43:07 > 0:43:10- I was just going to sign this DD-5 you were waiting for.- Good.
0:43:13 > 0:43:16- Have a good time, Lieutenant. - Oh, thanks, I intend to.
0:43:20 > 0:43:21Great.
0:43:55 > 0:43:58- You're not mad I made you see her again?- No, sweetheart.
0:43:59 > 0:44:01I don't know how many times I've seen that picture,
0:44:01 > 0:44:04not including reruns on TV,
0:44:04 > 0:44:08- and every time my heart breaks. - As long as you had a good time, babe.
0:44:08 > 0:44:10- Why is that?- What?
0:44:10 > 0:44:13That I know all these terrible things about Noreen Dixon,
0:44:13 > 0:44:16and I see her up on the screen, it doesn't matter.
0:44:16 > 0:44:19- Everything else goes away. - Well, it's magic, babe.
0:44:19 > 0:44:22All the great ones got it, it's why we keep going back.
0:44:22 > 0:44:25- Magic?- Yep. And romance.
0:44:25 > 0:44:30- In fact, I have been thinking about that all day long.- Lacey!
0:44:30 > 0:44:31Mrs Lacey.
0:44:34 > 0:44:36Oh, honey.
0:44:37 > 0:44:39Madame?
0:44:40 > 0:44:42Perfect timing, Jimmy.
0:44:56 > 0:44:59Magic and romance. Once around the park, Jimmy.
