1
00:00:06,010 --> 00:00:09,138
There's five lost songs
worth about a million dollars
apiece.
2
00:00:09,214 --> 00:00:11,614
And Thomas and his assistants
are going to split 10%.
3
00:00:11,683 --> 00:00:14,049
Believe me,
if any of my nurses had
been the object
4
00:00:14,119 --> 00:00:16,280
of five beautiful love songs,
I'd have known about it.
5
00:00:16,354 --> 00:00:18,151
Whatever I have to do,
6
00:00:18,223 --> 00:00:20,783
Billy Cockrell is not
getting those songs.
7
00:00:21,526 --> 00:00:23,960
She's got them
and we must've led him
right to her.
8
00:00:24,662 --> 00:00:25,890
You tell me...
9
00:00:25,964 --> 00:00:27,022
T. C?
10
00:00:27,098 --> 00:00:28,656
You better throw
wide and duck.
11
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:30,531
Come on, you guys.
12
00:01:46,044 --> 00:01:50,572
Last word woman,
don't say please
13
00:01:50,648 --> 00:01:54,675
Last word woman
I'm down on my knees
14
00:01:54,752 --> 00:01:59,815
And I'm not the first man
that told you goodbye
15
00:01:59,891 --> 00:02:03,952
Let me be the first
to ask for one last try
16
00:02:04,028 --> 00:02:08,021
I'll give you the last word
about my money
17
00:02:08,499 --> 00:02:12,697
I'll give you the last word
about my time
18
00:02:13,271 --> 00:02:17,867
I'll give you the last word
until the day I die
19
00:02:17,942 --> 00:02:22,140
If your last word in my life
is goodbye
20
00:02:23,047 --> 00:02:26,881
Yes, your last word
in my life
21
00:02:26,951 --> 00:02:29,511
Is goodbye
22
00:02:31,189 --> 00:02:33,623
Thank you all.
Thank you, folks.
23
00:02:34,826 --> 00:02:36,054
Thank you.
24
00:02:37,962 --> 00:02:39,657
Thank you all. Thank you.
25
00:02:44,002 --> 00:02:45,196
Thank you.
26
00:02:46,771 --> 00:02:49,763
Georgie, hey, come on.
Get up. Are you okay?
I'm okay.
27
00:02:53,344 --> 00:02:55,608
You get him back out there.
Contract says encore.
28
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:56,942
That was an encore.
29
00:02:59,050 --> 00:03:01,041
Hey, get her on the phone
for me, Lacy, will you?
30
00:03:01,119 --> 00:03:02,518
I wanna give her
the good news.
31
00:03:02,587 --> 00:03:04,179
George Lee Jessup!
32
00:03:04,255 --> 00:03:07,315
Yes, now, folks,
are we gonna let him get away
without one more song?
33
00:03:07,392 --> 00:03:09,019
No! No!
34
00:03:09,093 --> 00:03:12,187
Operator?
Get me Honolulu, Hawaii.
35
00:03:12,263 --> 00:03:14,390
5-3-5-7-2.
36
00:03:14,465 --> 00:03:16,490
Georgie, hey,
you know, listen.
37
00:03:16,567 --> 00:03:18,159
We'll call her
from Richmond.
38
00:03:18,236 --> 00:03:19,726
I can have us there
in an hour.
39
00:03:19,804 --> 00:03:21,772
Billy, leave him alone!
40
00:03:21,839 --> 00:03:24,808
One more song!
One more song!
41
00:03:24,909 --> 00:03:26,706
George Lee Jessup!
42
00:03:27,045 --> 00:03:28,137
He's drunker than hell.
43
00:03:28,513 --> 00:03:31,038
His fans have seen him
tanked up before.
It don't bother them.
44
00:03:31,115 --> 00:03:33,777
Why,
because you say it don't?
45
00:03:33,851 --> 00:03:35,182
Drop it, Billy.
46
00:03:35,253 --> 00:03:37,551
Get the rest of the boys
and head for the car.
47
00:03:39,724 --> 00:03:43,023
One more song!
One more song!
48
00:03:43,094 --> 00:03:44,823
George Lee Jessup!
49
00:03:44,896 --> 00:03:49,697
One more song!
One more song!
George Lee Jessup!
50
00:03:49,767 --> 00:03:51,667
Here you go, Georgie.
She's on.
51
00:03:53,204 --> 00:03:54,432
Thanks, Lacy.
52
00:03:59,110 --> 00:04:00,270
Laurie?
53
00:04:02,113 --> 00:04:04,980
Hey, baby.
Are you sitting down?
54
00:04:05,550 --> 00:04:08,644
Yeah, we're finally
gonna do it, honey.
Pack up your uniforms.
55
00:04:12,290 --> 00:04:15,259
Well, I mean,
I found me a general
who loves my music,
56
00:04:15,460 --> 00:04:18,122
and he's gonna get you
a transfer to one of them
bases in Texas
57
00:04:18,196 --> 00:04:20,289
till your discharge papers
come through.
58
00:04:20,832 --> 00:04:23,699
And I play Dallas next week.
Now what do you think of that?
59
00:04:25,169 --> 00:04:28,468
I'm asking you politely now.
Please step on back.
60
00:04:28,906 --> 00:04:30,771
Hey, we're gonna
get married there.
61
00:04:38,216 --> 00:04:40,616
Hey, Laurie,
come on now, baby.
Now quit kidding around, now.
62
00:04:40,685 --> 00:04:42,380
You! You!
Stop shoving, now.
63
00:04:43,654 --> 00:04:46,145
Now, Laurie, I said,
now quit kidding around, baby.
64
00:04:48,092 --> 00:04:49,116
Laurie?
65
00:05:16,087 --> 00:05:18,385
Hey, let's get this thing
in the air fast.
66
00:05:18,456 --> 00:05:19,855
Talk to Georgie.
67
00:05:21,492 --> 00:05:22,857
I ain't the pilot.
68
00:05:22,927 --> 00:05:25,794
Hey! What do you mean?
69
00:05:25,863 --> 00:05:27,125
Of course you're the pilot.
70
00:05:27,198 --> 00:05:30,292
No, Lacy, that's what
I wound up being.
71
00:05:30,968 --> 00:05:34,062
I'm a good picker
and I'm a good writer
72
00:05:34,138 --> 00:05:37,437
and I'm sick of flying
and playing bass
73
00:05:38,009 --> 00:05:40,637
and getting pushed around
by the big star's flunky.
74
00:05:40,711 --> 00:05:42,178
Will you get serious, Billy?
75
00:05:42,246 --> 00:05:45,306
You mean to tell me
you'd let Georgie
take us up tonight?
76
00:05:45,383 --> 00:05:47,112
You know he's had too much.
77
00:05:47,185 --> 00:05:48,846
And he and Laurie
just had a big spat.
78
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,356
Lacy, those are
his problems and yours.
79
00:05:53,057 --> 00:05:55,321
I'm on the next bus
back to Nashville.
80
00:05:55,393 --> 00:05:56,724
Damn right!
81
00:05:59,130 --> 00:06:01,655
Hey, Georgie, I'll get us
a hotel here tonight.
82
00:06:01,732 --> 00:06:03,859
George... Billy, please.
83
00:06:09,807 --> 00:06:10,967
Georgie!
84
00:06:50,114 --> 00:06:53,242
No, no, no, no. Pianissimo,
ladies and gentlemen, please.
85
00:06:53,317 --> 00:06:56,047
All I'm hearing is one harsh,
constant...
86
00:07:06,164 --> 00:07:08,598
Thomas, can't you
turn that thing down?
87
00:07:08,666 --> 00:07:12,568
Magnum, stop playing
that record immediately!
88
00:07:12,637 --> 00:07:15,868
Higgins, now, listen,
I'm sorry I disturbed
your rehearsal,
89
00:07:15,940 --> 00:07:19,239
but I had to listen to it
that loud in order to hear
the lyrics for clues!
90
00:07:19,310 --> 00:07:22,108
No, it's all
in the line of work.
Higgins, don't break it!
91
00:07:22,180 --> 00:07:24,011
Now, it belongs
to the library
and it's...
92
00:07:24,081 --> 00:07:26,049
One of George Lee Jessup's
rarest recordings
93
00:07:26,117 --> 00:07:29,109
and you may very well
have damaged the grooves
with this modern stylus!
94
00:07:29,187 --> 00:07:30,950
You're into this
hillbilly yuck?
95
00:07:31,022 --> 00:07:33,217
This hillbilly yuck
happens to trace its roots
96
00:07:33,291 --> 00:07:34,690
back to the Saxon
folk ballads.
97
00:07:34,759 --> 00:07:37,523
Yeah, well, fortunately,
Higgins, we don't have
to go back that far.
98
00:07:37,595 --> 00:07:40,564
No, your research, I'm sure,
begins and ends with 1954.
99
00:07:40,631 --> 00:07:41,859
Higgins...
You got it!
100
00:07:41,933 --> 00:07:44,367
Five million bucks
of this guy's old records
laying around.
101
00:07:44,435 --> 00:07:48,201
And Thomas and his assistants
are gonna split 10%%
just for finding the stuff.
102
00:07:48,272 --> 00:07:51,207
Yes, the lost Jessup songs
could easily be that valuable
103
00:07:51,275 --> 00:07:52,833
if they existed.
They do not.
104
00:07:52,910 --> 00:07:54,434
Higgins, this doesn't
concern you.
105
00:07:54,512 --> 00:07:58,346
What concerns me is that
you could so easily be duped
by such a ridiculous myth.
106
00:07:58,416 --> 00:08:01,408
Every moment of
Jessup's hospitalization here
has been researched.
107
00:08:01,485 --> 00:08:04,352
There was no nurse,
no love affair
and therefore, no songs.
108
00:08:04,422 --> 00:08:06,788
Well, yes, the client
does admit
109
00:08:06,857 --> 00:08:09,792
that no one else
has any faith
in the songs but him.
110
00:08:09,860 --> 00:08:13,261
But you saw no reason
to bring this up
111
00:08:13,331 --> 00:08:14,992
before you conned us
into this?
112
00:08:15,066 --> 00:08:17,296
I didn't con you!
This guy has proof!
113
00:08:17,368 --> 00:08:20,531
There's five lost songs
worth about a million dollars
apiece.
114
00:08:20,605 --> 00:08:23,699
That's absurd.
How could he possibly
know the exact number?
115
00:08:24,609 --> 00:08:25,974
Because he's an expert!
116
00:08:26,043 --> 00:08:27,772
Well, no true expert
would dare to attempt
117
00:08:27,845 --> 00:08:30,405
to determine the value
of works by a legend
like Jessup.
118
00:08:30,481 --> 00:08:33,075
Hold it! Just hold it!
119
00:08:33,150 --> 00:08:35,482
You two guys are
arguing about songs
that don't even exist?
120
00:08:35,553 --> 00:08:36,850
Yes!
No!
121
00:08:37,622 --> 00:08:39,715
You can count me out.
122
00:08:39,924 --> 00:08:42,392
No! Wait, T.C.,
Higgins is wrong!
123
00:08:59,577 --> 00:09:01,545
Well, that's
a pretty good fiddle.
124
00:09:01,979 --> 00:09:03,970
The A string's
just a hair sharp.
125
00:09:04,582 --> 00:09:06,277
What's the meaning of this?
126
00:09:06,350 --> 00:09:09,786
Oh, it just means that
his A's not a perfect fifth
from his D.
127
00:09:09,854 --> 00:09:11,754
Who are you?
How did you get on the estate?
128
00:09:11,822 --> 00:09:14,916
And what manner of man simply
picks up a $20,000 violin
129
00:09:14,992 --> 00:09:16,687
and plays it without
asking permission?
130
00:09:16,761 --> 00:09:19,594
Well, Lacy Fletcher's
the name. I come by taxi.
131
00:09:19,664 --> 00:09:23,259
And what manner of man
asks a fiddle if it wants
to be played?
132
00:09:23,334 --> 00:09:24,801
Something wrong, Higgins?
133
00:09:24,902 --> 00:09:28,099
Thomas Magnum, Lacy.
I'm sorry I didn't
pick you up at the airport.
134
00:09:28,172 --> 00:09:31,608
That's all right.
You didn't have to hire
a band to welcome me.
135
00:09:32,743 --> 00:09:36,270
The band is the Oahu
String Quartet, Mr. Fletcher.
136
00:09:36,347 --> 00:09:39,077
We're rehearsing
for our maiden recital.
137
00:09:39,684 --> 00:09:44,018
I'm Jonathan Higgins,
the conductor, and it's
a great honor to meet you.
138
00:09:44,088 --> 00:09:45,453
Likewise.
139
00:09:45,656 --> 00:09:47,681
That's Theodore Calvin.
Rick Wright.
140
00:09:48,225 --> 00:09:50,056
They're helping me out
on the case.
141
00:09:50,127 --> 00:09:52,561
Wrong, wrong.
No offense, Lacy,
142
00:09:52,630 --> 00:09:55,463
but from what I understand,
no one else believes
these songs exist.
143
00:09:55,533 --> 00:09:58,434
Including George Lee Jessup's
closest friend.
144
00:09:58,502 --> 00:10:00,993
At least that's what
he's always told the press.
145
00:10:01,072 --> 00:10:02,596
Correct, Mr. Fletcher?
146
00:10:03,374 --> 00:10:07,401
I thought you told me
on the phone that you were
a private investigator?
147
00:10:07,978 --> 00:10:09,343
Now, wait a minute, Lacy.
148
00:10:09,413 --> 00:10:12,405
Wait, nothing!
I've been waiting
for 30 years.
149
00:10:12,483 --> 00:10:17,352
Lying to the press, everybody,
'cause if those songs had
been found before now,
150
00:10:17,421 --> 00:10:19,446
Georgie's estate
would've got them.
151
00:10:19,890 --> 00:10:24,987
Well, the time finally comes
when whoever finds them,
gets them.
152
00:10:25,296 --> 00:10:27,423
And the one person
that I tell my secret to
153
00:10:27,498 --> 00:10:29,363
has got to blab it
all over the island.
154
00:10:29,433 --> 00:10:32,334
Hey, hey, nobody's trying
to steal your songs.
155
00:10:32,636 --> 00:10:34,467
In fact, as far as
I'm concerned,
156
00:10:34,538 --> 00:10:35,937
you're the only one
that believes in them.
157
00:10:36,006 --> 00:10:38,065
Mr. Fletcher, do you have
proof that the songs exist?
158
00:10:38,142 --> 00:10:40,406
Yeah. My word.
159
00:10:41,846 --> 00:10:43,040
And this.
160
00:10:45,750 --> 00:10:48,014
Probably all you'll need
to find Laurie.
161
00:10:55,159 --> 00:10:57,957
But how could
he have called her
at the same pay phone
162
00:10:58,028 --> 00:10:59,893
every Saturday night,
for over a year?
163
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:03,389
Lacy?
164
00:11:05,236 --> 00:11:06,396
Lacy!
165
00:11:07,004 --> 00:11:10,269
Well, maybe, she lived
in the WAC barracks.
166
00:11:10,341 --> 00:11:13,936
Well, fine. Then all four
of the Lauries there in '54
could've used it.
167
00:11:14,011 --> 00:11:16,104
Well, then you just got
to look up the pay phones
168
00:11:16,180 --> 00:11:17,772
in the different
barrack hallways.
169
00:11:17,848 --> 00:11:21,284
Lacy, it's not that simple.
The phones aren't listed
numerically.
170
00:11:21,352 --> 00:11:22,785
We could be here all night.
171
00:11:22,853 --> 00:11:25,083
Well, I could've hired
anybody to complain.
172
00:11:25,156 --> 00:11:28,284
You gotta expect to
put out a little effort
for your $500,000.
173
00:11:28,359 --> 00:11:29,656
Put out a little...
174
00:11:29,994 --> 00:11:33,293
A half day
at the Army archives,
another half day here.
175
00:11:33,364 --> 00:11:36,231
A whole day with Ms. Jones
at the hall of records.
176
00:11:36,300 --> 00:11:37,528
Put out a little...
177
00:11:37,601 --> 00:11:39,228
Mr. And Mrs. Jones,
if you please
178
00:11:39,303 --> 00:11:41,066
And the desk clerk smirks
on hands and knees
179
00:11:41,138 --> 00:11:42,264
Lacy.
180
00:11:43,707 --> 00:11:46,733
Lacy. Lacy. Please.
181
00:11:47,411 --> 00:11:48,708
I'm sorry,
182
00:11:48,779 --> 00:11:52,977
but two straight days
of non-stop country gold
is a lot.
183
00:11:54,318 --> 00:11:55,910
Could we just take a break?
184
00:11:55,986 --> 00:11:59,387
Hey, break ball don't have
to fall on me.
Fine. Thank you.
185
00:12:00,090 --> 00:12:02,285
You know what?
I've been meaning to ask you.
186
00:12:02,359 --> 00:12:05,453
Why didn't you call her
at that pay phone
after the plane crash?
187
00:12:05,529 --> 00:12:08,430
Well, I did. Soon as
I got out of the hospital.
188
00:12:08,499 --> 00:12:09,966
It was disconnected.
189
00:12:10,167 --> 00:12:11,225
What?
190
00:12:14,004 --> 00:12:15,995
The five-digit number
wasn't converted?
191
00:12:16,073 --> 00:12:17,973
Why didn't you tell me?
192
00:12:18,042 --> 00:12:20,272
Well, what difference
does it make?
193
00:12:20,344 --> 00:12:23,370
The difference is,
I would've been looking
in the right place.
194
00:12:23,447 --> 00:12:24,812
Now, when did you call her?
195
00:12:24,882 --> 00:12:29,512
Well, it was
early November, 1954.
196
00:12:29,587 --> 00:12:30,576
Why?
197
00:12:30,921 --> 00:12:35,585
Lacy,
those old phone numbers are
listed by their cut-off date.
198
00:12:42,066 --> 00:12:45,467
Right. Here it is.
5-3-5-7-2.
199
00:12:46,170 --> 00:12:50,470
"Removed 11-2-54 from
Pearl Harbor Hospital
nurses' lounge."
200
00:12:51,575 --> 00:12:54,772
Nurses...
Hey, you're cooking.
I can tell. Right, huh?
201
00:12:56,614 --> 00:13:00,607
Prince, Prince. "Sergeant
Laura Johnson Prince,
202
00:13:00,818 --> 00:13:03,878
"discharged May 1955,
married to Desmond."
203
00:13:05,022 --> 00:13:08,116
Lacy, she's still living
here on the island.
Hey, that's great.
204
00:13:08,192 --> 00:13:09,989
Maybe the other three
are, too, then, huh?
205
00:13:10,060 --> 00:13:14,258
Yeah, but the other three
weren't working next to
that pay phone all of 1954.
206
00:13:14,498 --> 00:13:18,025
Hey, I think you got it.
207
00:13:19,436 --> 00:13:23,236
But I'm afraid
I've never even heard
of your Mr. Jessup.
208
00:13:23,307 --> 00:13:25,036
Well, at least
I've heard the name.
209
00:13:25,109 --> 00:13:28,101
He was a cowboy singer
in the '50s, wasn't he?
210
00:13:28,178 --> 00:13:31,409
Country music artist.
There's a difference.
211
00:13:31,482 --> 00:13:32,972
I see. I'm sorry.
212
00:13:33,050 --> 00:13:37,043
Mrs. Crane, are you sure
that none of the other
Lauries on that list
213
00:13:37,121 --> 00:13:39,089
could have worked
near that telephone?
214
00:13:39,423 --> 00:13:41,755
Well, not in '54.
215
00:13:41,825 --> 00:13:44,555
I was the ward nurses'
supervisor.
216
00:13:45,029 --> 00:13:47,520
You positive this woman
was enlisted?
217
00:13:47,765 --> 00:13:51,030
Yes, ma'am. She was a WAC.
There's no doubt about it.
218
00:13:51,101 --> 00:13:53,626
Georgie couldn't talk
about anything else
219
00:13:53,704 --> 00:13:56,002
except when she was gonna
get her discharge papers.
220
00:13:56,073 --> 00:13:58,667
Wait a minute.
This was a long time ago.
221
00:13:59,310 --> 00:14:01,471
Honey, you don't recall
a girl saying
222
00:14:01,545 --> 00:14:04,309
that she had a boyfriend
who wrote country tunes?
223
00:14:04,448 --> 00:14:06,211
I'm afraid not.
224
00:14:07,318 --> 00:14:09,786
Believe me,
if any of my nurses had
been the object
225
00:14:09,853 --> 00:14:12,686
of five beautiful love songs,
I'd have known about it.
226
00:14:12,756 --> 00:14:16,715
Young ladies have
a tendency to brag
about that sort of thing.
227
00:14:22,132 --> 00:14:24,965
- That woman is lying.
- Now, wait a minute.
228
00:14:25,035 --> 00:14:26,730
She didn't deserve Georgie.
229
00:14:55,199 --> 00:14:56,188
Lacy.
230
00:14:56,767 --> 00:14:58,632
Hey, Magnum.
231
00:14:59,603 --> 00:15:01,127
Well, I found it.
232
00:15:01,872 --> 00:15:05,069
Right here's the place.
This is where
he wrote the song.
233
00:15:05,442 --> 00:15:09,776
See, he had this real bad
shrapnel wound that he got
over there in Korea...
234
00:15:09,847 --> 00:15:11,075
I know, Lacy.
235
00:15:12,249 --> 00:15:14,740
Yeah,
they sent him over here...
I know, you told me.
236
00:15:14,818 --> 00:15:16,445
Yeah. To the hospital.
237
00:15:17,755 --> 00:15:19,484
That's the retainer
you gave me.
238
00:15:23,227 --> 00:15:25,195
You don't think
that there is a case.
239
00:15:26,864 --> 00:15:27,990
Oh...
240
00:15:29,433 --> 00:15:32,061
It doesn't really matter
what I believe, Lacy.
241
00:15:34,038 --> 00:15:36,199
I know it's not in you
to doubt Jessup.
242
00:15:36,273 --> 00:15:39,709
That's right.
One thing about Georgie,
he never lied.
243
00:15:39,777 --> 00:15:42,268
Well, fine. Fine.
244
00:15:42,346 --> 00:15:45,782
But George Lee Jessup's
word is not a lead.
245
00:15:45,849 --> 00:15:47,874
And the only tangible one
you gave me is gone.
246
00:15:47,951 --> 00:15:49,885
You're wrong.
You're dead wrong.
247
00:15:49,953 --> 00:15:52,979
That phone number
did its job.
It led us to Laurie.
248
00:15:53,824 --> 00:15:57,021
So you keep telling me,
but you've got absolutely
no proof.
249
00:15:57,094 --> 00:15:58,527
Don't I?
250
00:16:01,432 --> 00:16:03,423
Let me ask you something,
Magnum.
251
00:16:05,035 --> 00:16:07,526
How did she know that
there were just five songs?
252
00:16:08,205 --> 00:16:09,536
Five?
Yeah.
253
00:16:09,606 --> 00:16:12,939
That's what
she said yesterday,
"Five beautiful songs."
254
00:16:13,410 --> 00:16:15,605
Now, nobody knew
the exact number,
255
00:16:15,679 --> 00:16:18,842
except me and her and Georgie.
256
00:16:19,149 --> 00:16:21,617
And you're the first person
that I've ever told.
257
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,111
Maybe she made a wild guess.
258
00:16:25,489 --> 00:16:27,423
I'm sorry, Lacy,
it's not enough.
259
00:16:29,727 --> 00:16:32,696
Well, okay, all right.
You get me a copy
of her handwriting,
260
00:16:32,763 --> 00:16:35,163
and I'll give you
all the proof that you want.
261
00:16:37,634 --> 00:16:41,661
Well, I guess I got no choice
but to trust you all the way.
Here, hold this.
262
00:16:43,841 --> 00:16:48,801
There was this private box
where I used to pick up
Georgie's letters from her.
263
00:16:49,580 --> 00:16:51,309
It was a kind of
a secret thing.
264
00:16:51,381 --> 00:16:53,008
Now, this letter here...
265
00:16:53,083 --> 00:16:57,179
Well, she evidently hadn't
heard about the accident
when she wrote it.
266
00:16:57,254 --> 00:17:00,553
It was in the box
when I got out
of the hospital.
267
00:17:01,225 --> 00:17:02,590
It's never been opened.
268
00:17:03,393 --> 00:17:05,486
I know.
That's Georgie's private mail.
269
00:17:06,430 --> 00:17:07,624
Private?
270
00:17:07,931 --> 00:17:10,798
Lacy, he's been dead
for 30 years. You never
opened this, knowing...
271
00:17:10,868 --> 00:17:15,032
Hey, listen, I looked
after Georgie's privacy
when he was alive.
272
00:17:15,405 --> 00:17:18,431
Well, I'm sure not gonna start
peeking in his keyholes now.
273
00:17:18,509 --> 00:17:22,468
Well, you're asking me
to peek into Laurie Crane's,
without good reason.
274
00:17:26,049 --> 00:17:30,247
I've played
a darn good poker hand,
waiting out that copyright.
275
00:17:31,822 --> 00:17:35,223
You know, when I told
everybody that there wasn't
any more songs,
276
00:17:35,592 --> 00:17:36,854
and they believed me.
277
00:17:38,495 --> 00:17:41,692
Now it comes time
to pick up the pot and...
278
00:17:45,669 --> 00:17:47,364
Well, I need some help.
279
00:18:01,285 --> 00:18:04,254
I hocked everything that
I got to make this trip.
280
00:18:05,589 --> 00:18:07,853
If I go back empty-handed...
281
00:18:09,426 --> 00:18:12,122
Well, I guess you'd say
that I'm finished.
282
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,433
That seems like
reason enough to me
283
00:18:20,404 --> 00:18:22,895
to get one little
old handwriting sample.
284
00:18:23,507 --> 00:18:25,236
I'll talk to her again.
285
00:18:26,577 --> 00:18:27,635
Alone.
286
00:18:27,744 --> 00:18:29,006
Yeah.
287
00:18:31,481 --> 00:18:33,312
Talk to me
about what, Mr. Magnum?
288
00:18:33,517 --> 00:18:36,111
Well, I was wondering
if you could just give me
a short written statement
289
00:18:36,186 --> 00:18:39,485
verifying what you
told me yesterday.
Just for my records.
290
00:18:39,556 --> 00:18:42,457
I fail to see why I should
have to verify anything.
291
00:18:42,693 --> 00:18:45,685
Well, no, no,
but this'll just take
a few minutes.
292
00:18:46,964 --> 00:18:49,398
A few minutes, a day.
293
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:51,864
I don't have the time
or the inclination.
294
00:18:51,935 --> 00:18:53,926
All right?
Well, that's fine. Fine.
295
00:18:54,004 --> 00:18:57,201
Why don't I just jot down
what you told me and I'll
bring it by for you to sign?
296
00:18:57,274 --> 00:18:59,242
It would just say
that you never knew Jessup.
297
00:18:59,309 --> 00:19:01,573
No! I'm sorry.
298
00:19:02,045 --> 00:19:04,377
I don't know where
everybody got the idea
299
00:19:04,448 --> 00:19:06,348
that I was George's lover
in the first place.
300
00:19:06,416 --> 00:19:08,577
Yes, where indeed?
301
00:19:09,419 --> 00:19:10,613
Mr. Magnum,
302
00:19:11,288 --> 00:19:14,052
you've worn out your welcome.
Now, would you please leave?
303
00:19:14,858 --> 00:19:16,086
I'm just trying to...
304
00:19:16,159 --> 00:19:19,492
You're trying to talk
my wife out of something
she's handwritten. Why?
305
00:19:19,563 --> 00:19:22,396
And don't tell me
it has anything to do
with your records.
306
00:19:22,466 --> 00:19:26,596
Look, Lacy has a letter
written by this Laurie
to Jessup.
307
00:19:26,670 --> 00:19:30,470
Now, this whole thing could be
cleared up by a simple
handwriting comparison.
308
00:19:30,540 --> 00:19:31,529
Look,
309
00:19:32,175 --> 00:19:33,904
we've tried being
very nice about this,
310
00:19:33,977 --> 00:19:37,208
but if you and those
country music people
don't stop bothering us,
311
00:19:37,281 --> 00:19:38,646
I'm gonna call the police.
312
00:19:38,715 --> 00:19:41,240
Excuse me a second.
"Those country music people"?
313
00:19:41,318 --> 00:19:45,379
A Nashville publisher,
yesterday after you left
and early today.
314
00:19:46,023 --> 00:19:50,255
Believe me, we would gladly
take their million if we had
the songs, but we don't.
315
00:19:50,327 --> 00:19:54,627
Now you listen to me
very carefully.
My wife is not your Laurie.
316
00:19:59,469 --> 00:20:01,903
Sweet, sad and wild
317
00:20:02,272 --> 00:20:04,832
We're like a flaming rocket
318
00:20:04,908 --> 00:20:07,968
That bursts and then it dies
319
00:20:08,045 --> 00:20:11,242
'Cause after cheating kisses,
honey
320
00:20:11,315 --> 00:20:13,749
Comes the hurting time
321
00:20:13,817 --> 00:20:15,444
Yeah, you got it.
322
00:20:15,953 --> 00:20:18,979
After cheating kisses, honey
323
00:20:19,056 --> 00:20:21,854
Comes the hurting time
324
00:20:25,762 --> 00:20:28,663
First recorded
on March 4, 1953.
325
00:20:28,732 --> 00:20:31,701
Well, I couldn't
say for sure.
We cut a lot of songs.
326
00:20:33,637 --> 00:20:35,867
Well, I'd best get
back to work.
327
00:20:36,039 --> 00:20:38,234
Higgins, you know,
I'd feel a lot better
328
00:20:38,308 --> 00:20:42,938
about taking your offer
of a room if I could
help out around here.
329
00:20:44,147 --> 00:20:48,550
Well, now you could tune
Mr. Lahani's third.
It's a hair out again.
330
00:21:20,751 --> 00:21:21,979
Extraordinary.
331
00:21:22,986 --> 00:21:25,011
I'm not familiar
with that music.
332
00:21:25,355 --> 00:21:26,447
Late French?
333
00:21:27,224 --> 00:21:29,454
No, it's early
Lacy Fletcher.
334
00:21:29,626 --> 00:21:31,856
I really used to be
into classical stuff.
335
00:21:34,765 --> 00:21:37,165
Has it ever
been performed publicly?
336
00:21:37,701 --> 00:21:39,532
No, I'm afraid not.
337
00:21:39,603 --> 00:21:42,470
Never could come up
with a decent set
of lyrics for it.
338
00:21:43,407 --> 00:21:45,272
I'm quite serious, Lacy.
339
00:21:45,342 --> 00:21:48,743
The Oahu String Quartet
would be most honored
to premier it.
340
00:21:49,446 --> 00:21:52,210
Well, that's very flattering,
Higgins, but...
341
00:21:52,516 --> 00:21:55,144
Hey, there's no way I could
score that in two days.
342
00:21:55,218 --> 00:21:56,583
Lacy?
343
00:21:56,653 --> 00:21:58,553
Hey, any luck?
Did you get it?
344
00:21:59,489 --> 00:22:01,480
Lacy, who's Billy Cockrell?
345
00:22:03,794 --> 00:22:05,284
How much did he offer them?
346
00:22:05,529 --> 00:22:07,190
A million, and still bidding.
347
00:22:07,898 --> 00:22:10,332
That sneaking...
Damn!
348
00:22:10,767 --> 00:22:11,927
I knew it!
349
00:22:12,002 --> 00:22:14,527
The only other person
that knows that she's got them
350
00:22:14,604 --> 00:22:16,504
and we must've led him
right to her!
351
00:22:16,573 --> 00:22:19,474
Oh, well, never mind.
I gotta stop him from
getting Georgie's stuff.
352
00:22:19,543 --> 00:22:22,376
Calm down, Lacy.
The Cranes didn't accept it.
They're not admitting...
353
00:22:22,446 --> 00:22:24,539
Oh, sure! Why not wait
till he goes to two million?
354
00:22:24,614 --> 00:22:25,911
Robin Masters' estate.
355
00:22:25,982 --> 00:22:28,382
Lacy, wait a minute.
No! Whatever I have to do,
356
00:22:28,452 --> 00:22:31,387
Billy Cockrell is not
getting those songs.
357
00:22:31,455 --> 00:22:34,390
Yes, one moment. A woman.
Why does she have this number?
358
00:22:35,392 --> 00:22:37,485
Because I wanted to be sure
she could reach me.
359
00:22:37,561 --> 00:22:39,552
Hello?
- Mr. Magnum?
360
00:22:40,497 --> 00:22:42,328
I'm here, Mrs. Crane.
361
00:22:45,569 --> 00:22:46,558
Well?
362
00:22:48,305 --> 00:22:50,933
I don't understand.
You asked for the meeting.
363
00:22:51,675 --> 00:22:54,508
Yes. And you asked
for a sample
of my handwriting.
364
00:22:54,778 --> 00:22:56,746
But what you were
really interested in
365
00:22:56,813 --> 00:22:59,304
is seeing if I'd react
to the mention of a letter.
366
00:22:59,883 --> 00:23:01,282
May I see it, please?
367
00:23:01,685 --> 00:23:04,586
I don't have it.
Lacy never lets it out
of his sight.
368
00:23:04,988 --> 00:23:07,957
I'm sure he would,
for the right arrangement.
369
00:23:08,391 --> 00:23:10,586
Mrs. Crane, that letter's
never been opened.
370
00:23:14,131 --> 00:23:19,398
I think that it would mean
a lot to Lacy just to give it
back to the real Laurie.
371
00:23:19,903 --> 00:23:21,427
Songs or no songs.
372
00:23:21,505 --> 00:23:25,134
The only arrangement
he wants
373
00:23:25,842 --> 00:23:28,675
is for her to say that
she loved George Lee Jessup.
374
00:23:30,113 --> 00:23:31,637
That's not possible.
375
00:23:33,250 --> 00:23:37,812
Maybe even sometime
when Desmond isn't around?
376
00:23:39,756 --> 00:23:41,951
You were married
to him then,
weren't you?
377
00:23:43,026 --> 00:23:44,926
I checked
your marriage license.
378
00:23:47,030 --> 00:23:48,964
Is that what was
in the letter?
379
00:23:49,065 --> 00:23:51,363
I wrote it the night
George was killed.
380
00:23:51,668 --> 00:23:55,798
When he called that night
and told me that
he'd gotten me a transfer,
381
00:23:56,039 --> 00:24:00,976
I'm afraid...
I'm sure I was very abrupt.
382
00:24:04,247 --> 00:24:06,647
I just said, "No."
383
00:24:07,350 --> 00:24:10,513
After saying, "How soon?"
For three years.
384
00:24:12,455 --> 00:24:14,423
But you kept on saying,
385
00:24:14,991 --> 00:24:17,960
"How soon?" even after you
were married to someone else?
386
00:24:19,896 --> 00:24:23,730
Well, after George was famous,
387
00:24:24,034 --> 00:24:26,559
I started reading about
somebody I didn't know.
388
00:24:27,003 --> 00:24:29,733
Cancelled performances,
bar fights,
389
00:24:29,806 --> 00:24:31,433
and the phone calls.
390
00:24:31,508 --> 00:24:33,772
He sounded so different.
391
00:24:35,078 --> 00:24:36,739
So important, I guess.
392
00:24:37,214 --> 00:24:41,651
I really thought that he'd
just meet somebody else
and forget me.
393
00:24:42,152 --> 00:24:43,380
But he didn't.
394
00:24:45,255 --> 00:24:46,244
Okay.
395
00:24:51,828 --> 00:24:56,162
But after you were married
to Desmond. Why the charade?
396
00:24:56,733 --> 00:25:00,760
Apparently you convinced
Jessup that he could only
reach you
397
00:25:00,837 --> 00:25:03,305
at this one phone
and only on Saturday nights?
398
00:25:04,307 --> 00:25:06,673
He trusted me. I...
399
00:25:07,510 --> 00:25:09,444
He believed if
whatever I told him.
400
00:25:09,512 --> 00:25:11,776
I didn't know
how to destroy that trust.
401
00:25:12,415 --> 00:25:14,144
Or maybe you didn't want to.
402
00:25:16,219 --> 00:25:17,846
I did love him.
403
00:25:34,571 --> 00:25:36,198
They're really beautiful.
404
00:25:41,611 --> 00:25:42,908
I'll miss them.
405
00:25:49,019 --> 00:25:50,611
What about the letter?
406
00:25:54,190 --> 00:25:56,715
I just didn't want Des
to ever see it.
407
00:26:02,732 --> 00:26:04,563
He probably wouldn't have...
408
00:26:04,901 --> 00:26:06,368
Wouldn't have minded.
409
00:26:56,086 --> 00:26:57,348
Here they are, Billy.
410
00:27:03,159 --> 00:27:05,923
You know
the chances of ever
retrieving them are minimal.
411
00:27:06,830 --> 00:27:08,855
I have a very
short list of suspects.
412
00:27:08,932 --> 00:27:10,229
Billy Cockrell.
413
00:27:10,433 --> 00:27:12,128
Rick's checking out
the license.
414
00:27:12,202 --> 00:27:15,035
If I'm lucky, it'll be
a rental in Billy's name.
415
00:27:15,472 --> 00:27:18,737
Look, are you sure
that Lacy said he was
going back to Pearl?
416
00:27:18,808 --> 00:27:21,675
Because I'm gonna call
the security gate and see
if they'll go find him.
417
00:27:21,745 --> 00:27:23,838
Lacy will know
what's happened
soon enough.
418
00:27:23,913 --> 00:27:26,677
Isn't there someone else
who should be notified first?
419
00:27:27,650 --> 00:27:30,312
She now runs
a great danger
of being exposed.
420
00:27:30,854 --> 00:27:34,119
She should have
the opportunity to explain
to her husband.
421
00:27:46,903 --> 00:27:48,700
Crane residence. Tanaka.
422
00:27:49,672 --> 00:27:50,798
Lieutenant?
423
00:27:50,974 --> 00:27:52,100
Magnum?
424
00:27:53,443 --> 00:27:56,310
I was calling for Mrs. Crane.
Why are you answering
the phone?
425
00:27:56,379 --> 00:27:57,607
Because she can't.
426
00:27:58,381 --> 00:27:59,905
Get over here, Magnum.
427
00:28:00,550 --> 00:28:05,146
I want to know the details
of your business with
the late Laurie Crane.
428
00:28:12,862 --> 00:28:15,126
A neighbor heard a shot
and called us.
429
00:28:15,198 --> 00:28:17,132
We notified him
at the office.
430
00:28:17,567 --> 00:28:19,592
Why were you calling her,
Magnum?
431
00:28:21,371 --> 00:28:23,134
I'm sorry, Mr. Crane.
432
00:28:23,473 --> 00:28:24,497
Yes.
433
00:28:24,574 --> 00:28:26,201
I imagine you would be.
434
00:28:27,143 --> 00:28:31,910
Tell me, were those songs
really worth Laurie's life?
435
00:28:32,449 --> 00:28:35,009
There is no reason to think
there's any connection
436
00:28:35,084 --> 00:28:37,712
between what happened
and the search for
these songs.
437
00:28:38,021 --> 00:28:40,489
Well, why don't we let
the police decide that.
438
00:28:41,191 --> 00:28:43,751
Now where's Lacy Fletcher
and that publisher?
439
00:28:43,993 --> 00:28:46,860
Are we by any chance
discussing clients of yours?
440
00:28:48,598 --> 00:28:50,031
A client, Lieutenant.
441
00:28:50,099 --> 00:28:53,262
Yes, and Lacy did hire me
to find Laurie Crane, but...
442
00:28:53,336 --> 00:28:55,861
He hired you to harass her
443
00:28:55,939 --> 00:28:59,170
into admitting
that she was having
an affair with a singer.
444
00:29:00,009 --> 00:29:02,239
He had her so upset.
- No!
445
00:29:02,645 --> 00:29:04,340
I did not harass her.
446
00:29:07,750 --> 00:29:10,344
Look, Mr. Crane,
447
00:29:10,753 --> 00:29:12,812
you don't know
the whole story about Lacy.
448
00:29:12,889 --> 00:29:16,381
If you did, you'd know
the last thing he'd want is
something to happen to Laurie.
449
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,259
It's not that I question
your judgment of character,
Magnum,
450
00:29:20,730 --> 00:29:22,163
but where do I find him?
451
00:29:23,299 --> 00:29:26,826
He'll be at the estate
after you've finished
your questioning here.
452
00:29:28,371 --> 00:29:29,565
What?
453
00:29:30,006 --> 00:29:33,442
I mean, do you always work
until after 8 p.m.
At your office, Mr. Crane?
454
00:29:35,078 --> 00:29:37,376
Yes, as a matter of fact,
I do.
455
00:29:38,014 --> 00:29:39,504
When it's necessary.
456
00:29:39,582 --> 00:29:41,379
And was it necessary tonight?
457
00:29:41,751 --> 00:29:44,618
I mean, if she was
as upset as you say she was,
458
00:29:44,687 --> 00:29:46,154
shouldn't you have
been here with her?
459
00:29:46,222 --> 00:29:49,214
That's enough!
I can do my job
without help.
460
00:29:50,126 --> 00:29:52,686
And you and Fletcher
be around when I call.
461
00:30:01,337 --> 00:30:03,271
It's done, Higgins.
462
00:30:05,074 --> 00:30:07,702
Actually, it was a lot easier
than I expected.
463
00:30:08,645 --> 00:30:11,580
You did this entire score
this evening?
464
00:30:11,981 --> 00:30:13,278
Yeah, well, I...
465
00:30:15,184 --> 00:30:19,143
I needed something to get
my mind off of things.
She was such a...
466
00:30:21,457 --> 00:30:23,220
Such a sweet person.
467
00:30:24,861 --> 00:30:26,954
He got away with
murdering Georgie.
468
00:30:27,997 --> 00:30:30,295
I'm not gonna let him
get away with this.
469
00:30:30,366 --> 00:30:32,231
Do you really believe that?
470
00:30:34,103 --> 00:30:37,334
All that reading that you've
done on Georgie and you don't
know about Billy?
471
00:30:37,874 --> 00:30:41,332
Well, I've read most
everything written about
the accident, yes.
472
00:30:41,711 --> 00:30:43,338
Accident, hell!
473
00:30:43,780 --> 00:30:45,941
Lacy, I'm sorry,
but by your own accounts,
474
00:30:46,015 --> 00:30:49,314
Billy Cockrell was guilty
of nothing more than
an irresponsible act.
475
00:30:49,385 --> 00:30:52,411
Hey, listen, he knew
that there was no way that
we could get to Richmond
476
00:30:52,488 --> 00:30:55,514
with Georgie flying us.
He knew that.
He wanted it to happen.
477
00:30:57,627 --> 00:31:01,028
To my way of thinking,
that's just as much a murder
as what he done tonight.
478
00:31:01,097 --> 00:31:02,928
Why would he
kill her, Lacy?
479
00:31:04,267 --> 00:31:05,859
He already had the songs.
480
00:31:06,502 --> 00:31:07,526
Yeah.
481
00:31:08,371 --> 00:31:09,838
So Higgins told me.
482
00:31:10,673 --> 00:31:13,608
Thanks to you,
he's probably halfway
to Nashville by now.
483
00:31:14,043 --> 00:31:17,945
And thanks a lot for
sneaking off and seeing Laurie
without letting me know.
484
00:31:18,615 --> 00:31:20,310
What time did you see her?
485
00:31:20,550 --> 00:31:24,452
Magnum, Lacy was here
scoring his composition
since soon after you left.
486
00:31:24,621 --> 00:31:26,714
Except he didn't go
to Pearl today.
487
00:31:26,789 --> 00:31:29,223
They have no record
of him coming through
the security gate.
488
00:31:29,292 --> 00:31:30,691
Now, where were you, Lacy?
489
00:31:32,562 --> 00:31:34,223
Oh, come on, Lacy.
490
00:31:34,297 --> 00:31:36,663
Tanaka's talking to Crane
right now, then you're next.
491
00:31:36,733 --> 00:31:39,224
Now, I need some answers
before he gets here!
492
00:31:39,302 --> 00:31:41,293
Now what time
did you see Laurie Crane?
493
00:31:41,371 --> 00:31:43,635
It's a fact that
I was there, is it?
494
00:31:43,706 --> 00:31:44,764
Yes!
495
00:31:45,108 --> 00:31:47,668
Unless you can
produce that letter.
Unopened.
496
00:31:48,344 --> 00:31:51,507
Well, come on, Lacy.
You never let it
out of your sight!
497
00:31:55,351 --> 00:31:58,047
You really believe
that I could hurt her?
498
00:31:58,154 --> 00:31:59,883
She meant everything
to Georgie.
499
00:32:00,890 --> 00:32:04,519
I'll know more about
what I believe when you
tell me what happened.
500
00:32:06,062 --> 00:32:08,053
Well, you're gonna
have a long wait.
501
00:32:09,432 --> 00:32:11,866
Because the only proof I got
is still my word.
502
00:32:11,934 --> 00:32:13,731
You can take it or leave it.
503
00:32:16,305 --> 00:32:17,738
Sorry, Thomas.
504
00:32:18,341 --> 00:32:21,640
That limo's registered
to a Lem Tomkins
up the north shore.
505
00:32:21,711 --> 00:32:23,702
Exit your
Billy Cockrell theory.
506
00:32:24,447 --> 00:32:25,641
What's the address?
507
00:32:25,715 --> 00:32:27,706
You don't wanna go there.
Come on, Rick.
508
00:32:27,784 --> 00:32:29,775
Okay. Fine.
But count me out.
509
00:32:29,852 --> 00:32:33,015
That's no place for
a nice kid from Chicago
to be seen after dark.
510
00:32:33,089 --> 00:32:37,753
When I die,
I may not go to heaven
511
00:32:39,128 --> 00:32:43,121
I don't know
if they let cowboys in
512
00:32:43,833 --> 00:32:45,425
If they don't
513
00:32:45,501 --> 00:32:49,198
Just let me go to Texas, boys
514
00:32:49,572 --> 00:32:53,668
'Cause Texas is
as close as I've been
515
00:32:55,111 --> 00:32:59,013
New York couldn't hold
my attention
516
00:33:00,450 --> 00:33:03,977
And Detroit city
couldn't sing the song
517
00:33:05,088 --> 00:33:07,113
Where is he?
Do you see him?
518
00:33:07,190 --> 00:33:08,555
Wait a minute, T.C.
519
00:33:08,624 --> 00:33:10,717
It's only just a hunch
that he's here.
520
00:33:10,793 --> 00:33:11,885
...I won't care
521
00:33:11,961 --> 00:33:15,021
'Cause at least I'll know
I'm home
522
00:33:15,998 --> 00:33:19,957
When I die,
I may not go to heaven
523
00:33:20,169 --> 00:33:22,797
Well, maybe it's more
than a hunch.
524
00:33:22,872 --> 00:33:26,399
Look, Lacy described him
as big and mean-Iooking
with red hair.
525
00:33:26,476 --> 00:33:29,343
Well, there are about
six guys and three women
that fit that description.
526
00:33:29,412 --> 00:33:31,972
Over 50, and he's almost
always in a suit.
527
00:33:32,648 --> 00:33:35,776
Listen, oh, there's
one more thing
I should explain...
528
00:33:38,187 --> 00:33:40,348
Where's Rick?
Rick? Rick who?
529
00:33:40,423 --> 00:33:42,823
T.C., come on!
Come on, T. C!
Come on, Cockrell,
where is he?
530
00:33:42,892 --> 00:33:44,120
What have you
done with him?
531
00:33:44,193 --> 00:33:46,161
No, no, no, no.
Wait a minute now!
Come on!
532
00:33:47,597 --> 00:33:50,532
They don't have Rick.
I lied. I made it up.
I'm sorry.
533
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,000
Now give me
the songs, Billy!
The songs?
534
00:33:53,069 --> 00:33:54,502
You told me
they kidnapped Rick
535
00:33:54,570 --> 00:33:57,403
just so you could send me
on a wild goose chase
over those stupid...
536
00:33:57,473 --> 00:33:59,668
No, T.C., they're real!
Real?
537
00:34:00,610 --> 00:34:02,373
Then you conned me
here as backup.
538
00:34:02,445 --> 00:34:04,310
No, I don't need a backup.
539
00:34:04,380 --> 00:34:06,405
Because Billy's gonna
give me those songs.
540
00:34:06,482 --> 00:34:07,710
Right, Billy?
541
00:34:07,784 --> 00:34:10,082
Hey, come on,
I didn't mean for those guys
to rough you up.
542
00:34:10,153 --> 00:34:12,553
In fact,
I told them not to!
Just give me the songs!
543
00:34:12,622 --> 00:34:14,487
Yes, and they had
better be real!
544
00:34:14,557 --> 00:34:17,993
'Cause if you pulled this
backup con for nothing...
I don't need a backup, T.C.
545
00:34:18,060 --> 00:34:19,550
And there's not
gonna be any trouble.
546
00:34:19,629 --> 00:34:21,460
Now, just give me
the songs, Billy.
547
00:34:21,531 --> 00:34:23,658
Been mistreated
548
00:34:23,733 --> 00:34:28,193
When will I be loved?
549
00:34:28,271 --> 00:34:29,499
Right.
550
00:34:30,072 --> 00:34:31,130
No trouble.
551
00:34:31,207 --> 00:34:32,299
No backup.
552
00:34:32,375 --> 00:34:34,673
I've been lied to
553
00:34:34,744 --> 00:34:36,109
I'll handle this.
554
00:34:38,447 --> 00:34:43,908
When will I be loved?
555
00:34:45,388 --> 00:34:48,050
Hey, come on, you guys.
They weren't doing
anything! Cool it! Cool it!
556
00:34:48,124 --> 00:34:50,820
No, no, no, no!
Let them go on.
He's doing fine.
557
00:34:52,762 --> 00:34:55,890
Always breaks my heart in two
558
00:34:56,365 --> 00:34:58,424
You better throw
wide and duck.
559
00:34:58,501 --> 00:35:00,662
It happens every time
560
00:35:02,371 --> 00:35:05,204
I've been cheated
561
00:35:06,776 --> 00:35:08,835
If all this is over these,
take them.
562
00:35:08,911 --> 00:35:10,538
They're not worth a dime.
563
00:35:10,613 --> 00:35:12,137
What are you talking about?
564
00:35:13,783 --> 00:35:14,875
T. C?
565
00:35:15,518 --> 00:35:17,486
Wait a minute.
Aren't these the lost songs?
566
00:35:17,553 --> 00:35:20,750
Yeah, yeah.
There's Jessup's name on
the top of all of them.
567
00:35:24,427 --> 00:35:27,919
Georgie couldn't write
that high-class eighth
and quarter note stuff.
568
00:35:27,997 --> 00:35:30,158
He used the Nashville
Number System.
569
00:35:30,433 --> 00:35:32,264
Any expert would
laugh you out of the room
570
00:35:32,335 --> 00:35:34,200
if you tried to pass that off
as his work.
571
00:35:42,178 --> 00:35:46,877
It happens every time
572
00:35:46,949 --> 00:35:49,076
See, no backup.
573
00:35:49,151 --> 00:35:51,813
I've been cheated
574
00:35:51,888 --> 00:35:54,857
Been mistreated
575
00:35:54,924 --> 00:35:55,982
Junk.
576
00:35:56,058 --> 00:36:02,054
When will I be loved?
577
00:36:08,337 --> 00:36:10,328
Higgins, where's Lacy?
578
00:36:13,075 --> 00:36:14,133
I...
579
00:36:15,311 --> 00:36:17,211
I suppose he went on to bed.
580
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,408
I just checked his room.
He's not there,
and all his stuff's gone.
581
00:36:21,984 --> 00:36:23,417
Well, I don't understand.
582
00:36:23,486 --> 00:36:26,148
We were listening
to yesterday's
quartet rehearsal.
583
00:36:27,857 --> 00:36:29,154
Jessup's songs?
584
00:36:30,793 --> 00:36:31,885
I don't know.
585
00:36:32,295 --> 00:36:34,855
Did you ever hear of
the Nashville Number System?
586
00:36:36,432 --> 00:36:37,990
Well, yes, of course.
587
00:36:38,067 --> 00:36:42,231
It's a very simple
method of musical notation
588
00:36:42,305 --> 00:36:43,636
created by...
589
00:36:45,074 --> 00:36:47,770
By country writers
who couldn't read music?
590
00:36:48,210 --> 00:36:49,837
Like George Lee Jessup.
591
00:36:56,886 --> 00:36:59,719
But the chord patterns
are vintage Jessup.
592
00:36:59,789 --> 00:37:01,313
They're unmistakable.
593
00:37:01,624 --> 00:37:03,114
Or vintage Fletcher?
594
00:37:06,829 --> 00:37:09,855
You looked for him
on the hospital grounds,
of course?
595
00:37:10,032 --> 00:37:13,468
He hasn't been there.
I've checked hotels,
all-night bars.
596
00:37:13,936 --> 00:37:17,064
I don't know.
Maybe he took a red-eye
back to Nashville.
597
00:37:17,273 --> 00:37:21,369
Lieutenant Tanaka
was quite upset to find
both you and Lacy gone.
598
00:37:21,577 --> 00:37:25,308
He cryptically assured me
that you should not feel
alone in your search.
599
00:37:25,381 --> 00:37:28,009
Come on, he put out
an APB on Lacy?
600
00:37:28,084 --> 00:37:30,143
Magnum, Lacy's fingerprints
were all over the room
601
00:37:30,219 --> 00:37:31,618
where Laurie Crane
was murdered.
602
00:37:31,687 --> 00:37:34,019
Okay, fine, Higgins,
he was there!
603
00:37:34,090 --> 00:37:35,751
He wanted to give her
the letter.
604
00:37:35,825 --> 00:37:39,818
But he certainly wouldn't
hurt the one person that
Jessup really cared for.
605
00:37:46,902 --> 00:37:47,960
No.
606
00:37:49,071 --> 00:37:51,631
A very complete
and complex devotion.
607
00:37:52,875 --> 00:37:57,005
Odd that the fifth song
should be missing from
so cherished a collection.
608
00:37:57,079 --> 00:37:59,673
I'm more interested in why
that letter is missing.
609
00:38:01,650 --> 00:38:05,051
Well, its disposition
hardly seems important
under the circumstances.
610
00:38:05,121 --> 00:38:06,213
Higgins,
611
00:38:06,589 --> 00:38:10,889
whoever killed her thought
it was very important or
it wouldn't have disappeared.
612
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:12,928
She told you the letter
was nothing more
613
00:38:12,995 --> 00:38:15,964
than a rambling confession
to Jessup about her marriage.
614
00:38:16,032 --> 00:38:17,021
Right.
615
00:38:18,734 --> 00:38:22,534
But did she ever confess
the whole thing to the guy
she was married to?
616
00:38:23,372 --> 00:38:25,101
It doesn't matter
what she confessed, Magnum.
617
00:38:25,174 --> 00:38:28,234
Crane did all the confessing
I can handle this morning.
618
00:38:30,312 --> 00:38:31,779
So you got him downtown?
619
00:38:32,081 --> 00:38:34,106
No. His story didn't add up.
620
00:38:34,183 --> 00:38:35,878
Details he couldn't cover.
621
00:38:35,951 --> 00:38:37,543
And the lamps and the tables,
622
00:38:37,620 --> 00:38:39,144
they were overturned
too neatly.
623
00:38:39,755 --> 00:38:41,655
I know a staged job
when I see one.
624
00:38:43,526 --> 00:38:46,154
And he finally broke
and told me the truth.
625
00:38:50,099 --> 00:38:53,227
Her letter to Jessup
must've been more brutal
than she remembered.
626
00:38:53,302 --> 00:38:54,997
She had a prior history.
627
00:38:55,738 --> 00:38:58,901
It was thoughtful
of your client
to drop it on her.
628
00:38:58,974 --> 00:39:00,407
But what can you expect?
629
00:39:00,476 --> 00:39:02,103
The guy's a real basket case.
630
00:39:02,178 --> 00:39:03,873
Nashville police report?
631
00:39:04,013 --> 00:39:05,605
Twelve counts of assault.
632
00:39:06,649 --> 00:39:08,549
And he even sings
on street corners.
633
00:39:08,951 --> 00:39:10,475
Lieutenant,
he sings everywhere.
634
00:39:10,553 --> 00:39:12,020
I mean, come on,
he's harmless.
635
00:39:12,088 --> 00:39:13,885
Look, all these counts
are related.
636
00:39:13,956 --> 00:39:17,153
He only goes after people
who are insulting
to George Lee.
637
00:39:21,197 --> 00:39:22,391
Where's Crane?
638
00:39:27,636 --> 00:39:28,830
Lacy?
639
00:39:28,904 --> 00:39:31,031
I'm over here, Crane!
640
00:39:38,714 --> 00:39:39,976
Believe me,
641
00:39:40,649 --> 00:39:44,881
you needed no cheap,
second letter blackmail lie
to meet with me.
642
00:39:44,954 --> 00:39:47,252
Well, I needed something
to get you out here.
643
00:39:47,323 --> 00:39:50,190
Where a good man
really loved the woman
that you murdered.
644
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:52,450
You're accusing me?
645
00:39:52,528 --> 00:39:55,224
You and that letter,
that's why Laurie's dead.
646
00:39:55,498 --> 00:39:58,831
She finally stopped blaming
herself until you came along.
647
00:39:59,368 --> 00:40:00,995
And then she had to...
648
00:40:01,070 --> 00:40:05,063
Then she had to remember
what she had written
to that drunken, trashy...
649
00:40:08,911 --> 00:40:09,900
Here.
650
00:40:11,547 --> 00:40:13,606
She couldn't part
with that one.
651
00:40:14,250 --> 00:40:18,311
Why the hell did you have
to come looking for those
childish, maudlin songs?
652
00:40:19,922 --> 00:40:24,450
You read Georgie's letter...
Private letter?
653
00:40:32,535 --> 00:40:34,093
I didn't have to read it.
654
00:40:34,170 --> 00:40:37,469
I knew about the affair
from the night she wrote
that letter to Jessup.
655
00:40:37,540 --> 00:40:39,599
You didn't know
till last night,
656
00:40:39,675 --> 00:40:43,133
and you couldn't stand
to find out that she loved
Georgie more than you.
657
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:47,342
We were married a whole year
before that plane crash.
658
00:40:47,416 --> 00:40:49,941
That's a lie!
She was coming
to marry Georgie.
659
00:40:50,019 --> 00:40:52,351
Me! She was married to me!
660
00:40:52,888 --> 00:40:54,219
But she blamed herself.
661
00:40:54,290 --> 00:40:55,780
Because she thought
662
00:40:55,858 --> 00:40:58,986
that he was drunk that night
because she said no to him.
663
00:40:59,061 --> 00:41:00,289
That's a lie!
664
00:41:00,362 --> 00:41:02,262
You read the letter
and couldn't take it!
665
00:41:02,331 --> 00:41:04,356
She didn't even
remember his name.
666
00:41:04,433 --> 00:41:06,128
I actually convinced her
667
00:41:06,402 --> 00:41:07,994
that she never met him.
668
00:41:08,070 --> 00:41:09,367
She loved Georgie.
669
00:41:09,438 --> 00:41:10,666
She was Georgie's.
670
00:41:10,739 --> 00:41:11,933
She was mine!
671
00:41:18,881 --> 00:41:20,348
Lacy, stop!
672
00:41:20,983 --> 00:41:23,144
Leave us alone!
He killed her.
673
00:41:23,219 --> 00:41:24,311
No!
674
00:41:24,853 --> 00:41:26,252
It was suicide.
675
00:41:30,526 --> 00:41:32,426
This time I wasn't
there to stop her.
676
00:41:34,663 --> 00:41:37,359
So you destroyed the letter
677
00:41:37,433 --> 00:41:39,663
and made it look like
she was murdered,
Desmond. Why?
678
00:41:43,038 --> 00:41:45,700
Laurie didn't deserve
the scandal of suicide.
679
00:41:46,942 --> 00:41:48,432
It wasn't her fault.
680
00:41:50,079 --> 00:41:51,569
It wasn't her fault?
681
00:41:54,717 --> 00:41:56,617
Will the two of you just stop?
682
00:41:58,087 --> 00:41:59,816
Look what you're
doing to yourselves.
683
00:41:59,888 --> 00:42:01,549
You'd stand here
and kill each other
684
00:42:01,624 --> 00:42:03,683
before you'd admit
that those two weren't saints!
685
00:42:05,961 --> 00:42:07,223
Desmond,
686
00:42:09,398 --> 00:42:11,366
Laurie had real
emotional problems.
687
00:42:11,433 --> 00:42:13,298
You're just gonna
have to accept that.
688
00:42:14,203 --> 00:42:15,568
And live with it.
689
00:42:17,206 --> 00:42:18,434
And, Lacy...
690
00:42:20,009 --> 00:42:21,670
I mean,
can you even remember
691
00:42:21,910 --> 00:42:24,378
that you're the real talent
behind Jessup?
692
00:42:24,647 --> 00:42:26,205
You wrote all those hits.
693
00:42:26,849 --> 00:42:29,079
No, no, they was Georgie's.
694
00:42:29,151 --> 00:42:32,348
Fine, fine.
So you don't want
the truth known.
695
00:42:32,421 --> 00:42:34,685
But at least
admit it to yourself.
696
00:42:35,524 --> 00:42:38,220
I got the other four
from Billy.
They're all the same.
697
00:42:56,545 --> 00:42:58,513
Five million shot to hell.
698
00:43:02,051 --> 00:43:05,680
Well, there goes
the museum, Georgie.
699
00:43:06,221 --> 00:43:07,449
A museum?
700
00:43:09,224 --> 00:43:11,818
Don't you think
you've done enough
for Georgie?
701
00:43:14,563 --> 00:43:16,292
No, you can't do enough.
702
00:43:18,734 --> 00:43:20,429
He was special.
703
00:43:21,537 --> 00:43:22,526
Special.
704
00:43:25,174 --> 00:43:28,905
That's why that he needed
special songs.
705
00:43:30,045 --> 00:43:32,240
Songs that he wrote
himself, so...
706
00:43:38,187 --> 00:43:41,054
So people would know
that he was singing
from the heart.
707
00:43:43,325 --> 00:43:44,587
Oh, well.
708
00:43:47,329 --> 00:43:48,626
If he'd just
709
00:43:51,100 --> 00:43:55,093
copied the first ones
like I thought he did,
like we'd done all the rest,
710
00:43:57,373 --> 00:43:59,238
they'd all be monsters.
711
00:44:01,844 --> 00:44:04,472
Instead of my useless tunes.
712
00:44:05,814 --> 00:44:07,441
Doesn't that kind of
713
00:44:08,250 --> 00:44:10,616
say something about
how special he was?
714
00:44:11,553 --> 00:44:12,713
Hmm?
715
00:44:18,727 --> 00:44:20,354
They were both special.
716
00:44:54,797 --> 00:44:58,062
Lacy, they could all be
chartbusters if you'd
just listen to reason.
717
00:44:58,133 --> 00:45:00,693
You mind holding it down?
I'm trying to listen
to my piece. Do you mind?
718
00:45:00,769 --> 00:45:04,000
Lacy, come on now.
Billy's trying to end the war.
What do you want?
719
00:45:04,072 --> 00:45:05,630
Nothing,
not from him.
720
00:45:05,707 --> 00:45:07,038
Yeah, well,
you're gonna get it.
721
00:45:07,109 --> 00:45:09,771
I wanna record
those songs and give you
all the royalties.
722
00:45:09,845 --> 00:45:11,278
But you gotta do them
as Lacy Fletcher tunes.
723
00:45:11,346 --> 00:45:14,474
Over my dead body.
You're trying to make
a fool out of Georgie.
724
00:45:14,550 --> 00:45:18,179
No, damn it,
I'm just trying to make
things up to him and you!
725
00:45:18,253 --> 00:45:20,346
Guys, come on.
Everyone can hear you. Please.
726
00:45:22,925 --> 00:45:25,917
The money from those songs
could build that museum
you want.
727
00:45:28,197 --> 00:45:30,461
And if it don't, I'll put in
the rest of the money.
728
00:45:30,532 --> 00:45:32,591
But I want to do them
as your songs, Lacy.
729
00:45:32,668 --> 00:45:34,898
I won't see you lie
for Georgie anymore.
730
00:45:45,147 --> 00:45:46,808
Ladies and gentlemen,
731
00:45:46,882 --> 00:45:48,509
it is a great honor
732
00:45:48,617 --> 00:45:52,451
to present the composer
of the beautiful piece
we have just premiered.
733
00:45:52,888 --> 00:45:54,788
Mr. Lacy Fletcher.
734
00:46:06,401 --> 00:46:08,631
Thank you.
I appreciate it.
735
00:46:08,937 --> 00:46:12,634
I know this isn't exactly
the place for country, but...
736
00:46:14,943 --> 00:46:19,277
I got another little
premiere here for you,
if you don't mind.
737
00:46:19,648 --> 00:46:22,617
This is one of
five songs that...
738
00:46:23,752 --> 00:46:26,312
Well, they're all gonna
be classics because
739
00:46:27,623 --> 00:46:32,083
they were all written by
the great George Lee Jessup.
740
00:46:33,595 --> 00:46:37,554
And I had the wonderful
privilege of writing down
the notes for him.
741
00:46:46,942 --> 00:46:49,877
I'm a thousand miles
from nowhere
742
00:46:49,945 --> 00:46:52,971
Near the flashing neon lights
743
00:46:53,348 --> 00:46:55,748
And I'll try to get through
744
00:46:56,118 --> 00:46:58,313
One more Ionely night
745
00:46:59,588 --> 00:47:01,613
People keep on moving
746
00:47:01,690 --> 00:47:04,284
Just filling up the space
747
00:47:04,893 --> 00:47:07,691
All I keep on seeing
748
00:47:07,763 --> 00:47:10,197
Is the memory of your face
749
00:47:10,732 --> 00:47:13,292
I just want to hold you
750
00:47:13,368 --> 00:47:15,734
And listen deep within
751
00:47:16,538 --> 00:47:18,938
Listen to the music
752
00:47:19,007 --> 00:47:21,771
That let me live again
753
00:47:22,377 --> 00:47:24,743
Let me hear the music
754
00:47:24,813 --> 00:47:27,805
That keeps my world in time
755
00:47:28,150 --> 00:47:30,516
Let me hear the music
756
00:47:30,586 --> 00:47:33,316
And let me hear the rhyme
