1
00:01:26,417 --> 00:01:28,009
Are you sure you don't want me to wait?
2
00:01:28,086 --> 00:01:29,610
While you
run up the meter?
3
00:01:29,687 --> 00:01:31,746
Good night, sweet prince.
4
00:02:49,067 --> 00:02:51,160
It's always
the little mistakes
5
00:02:51,235 --> 00:02:52,827
that catch you up
short in life.
6
00:02:52,904 --> 00:02:55,464
Just when you think your life
is running along smoothly,
7
00:02:55,540 --> 00:02:58,065
everything in place, the
little mistakes start happening.
8
00:02:58,142 --> 00:03:01,509
Like you cut yourself shaving
and bleed all over your shirt.
9
00:03:01,579 --> 00:03:03,570
Or you lose your car keys
and you're 20 minutes late
10
00:03:03,648 --> 00:03:06,082
to a date you've really
been looking forward to.
11
00:03:06,150 --> 00:03:09,381
Or, you overlook a tiny, little
notice that comes in the mail,
12
00:03:09,454 --> 00:03:11,115
and wake up
one morning to discover
13
00:03:11,189 --> 00:03:13,851
your private investigator's
license has expired.
14
00:03:13,925 --> 00:03:15,153
Little mistakes.
15
00:03:15,226 --> 00:03:17,626
That'll be $2.50.
16
00:03:17,695 --> 00:03:20,220
Can I help somebody
over here?
17
00:03:23,801 --> 00:03:25,530
Ow!
18
00:03:25,603 --> 00:03:27,434
What are you doing to my dog?
19
00:03:27,505 --> 00:03:29,132
Me? Nothing.
20
00:03:29,674 --> 00:03:32,541
Well, why don't you pick
on someone your own size?
21
00:03:32,977 --> 00:03:34,638
Come along, Bruno.
22
00:03:35,847 --> 00:03:38,315
Sorry, I'm closed. You'll
have to go to the other window.
23
00:03:38,383 --> 00:03:40,317
What? Wait.
24
00:03:51,462 --> 00:03:53,521
Hey, no line crashing.
25
00:03:54,932 --> 00:03:56,923
I've been here awhile.
26
00:03:57,735 --> 00:04:00,033
Are you here to get
your marriage license?
27
00:04:00,104 --> 00:04:01,093
No.
28
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:03,234
We are.
29
00:04:04,008 --> 00:04:06,135
Oh, congratulations.
30
00:04:06,310 --> 00:04:08,676
And I've only got 12 hours
shore leave. I didn't know that.
31
00:04:08,746 --> 00:04:11,579
That's why I don't
appreciate line crashers.
32
00:04:12,350 --> 00:04:15,513
Well, I'm sure they'll
just rush you right through.
33
00:04:16,020 --> 00:04:19,319
See, Herbie, I told you
there's nothing to it.
34
00:04:19,624 --> 00:04:21,683
There better not be.
35
00:04:22,627 --> 00:04:25,619
Hey, you think you could
hurry it up, up there?
36
00:04:28,533 --> 00:04:31,991
Jonathan, I can't hold
the ladies off much longer.
37
00:04:32,770 --> 00:04:35,261
What am I going to do
without a Robert Browning?
38
00:04:35,339 --> 00:04:38,331
I must say in all honesty
that this is atypical behavior.
39
00:04:38,409 --> 00:04:41,310
Unless, Jonathan, you... Which,
you may recall, I warned you about
40
00:04:41,379 --> 00:04:43,574
when you approached Magnum
in the first place.
41
00:04:43,648 --> 00:04:47,311
It does seem to have a certain
poetic symmetry about it.
42
00:04:47,618 --> 00:04:51,577
Me as Miss Barrett,
you as Mr. Browning.
43
00:04:52,090 --> 00:04:53,580
What on earth
are you talking about?
44
00:04:53,658 --> 00:04:55,956
You could take
Mr. Magnum's place
45
00:04:56,027 --> 00:04:57,790
as our guest reader.
46
00:04:57,895 --> 00:05:01,558
Well, Agatha, naturally,
I'd be honored, but I...
47
00:05:01,632 --> 00:05:03,827
Oh, Jonathan.
48
00:05:04,435 --> 00:05:06,665
I knew you
wouldn't let me down.
49
00:05:06,738 --> 00:05:09,571
I'm certain Magnum
will be here any minute.
50
00:05:10,441 --> 00:05:15,504
Oh, baby, I just can't wait
to be Mrs. Herbie Fosdick.
51
00:05:16,881 --> 00:05:20,078
Me, too, Sugar.
Me, too.
52
00:05:21,319 --> 00:05:23,617
You wanna keep
this line moving?
53
00:05:24,522 --> 00:05:27,514
Hi, look, I've got
a little problem.
54
00:05:27,592 --> 00:05:29,787
A slight oversight
on my part.
55
00:05:29,894 --> 00:05:31,259
Your license has expired.
56
00:05:31,329 --> 00:05:32,728
Yeah, I know,
I was wondering if...
57
00:05:32,797 --> 00:05:35,732
Fill out this application. Bring it
back with two character references,
58
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:36,926
Hawaii residents only.
59
00:05:37,001 --> 00:05:39,367
You can take the written
exam next week. Next week?
60
00:05:39,437 --> 00:05:41,962
If you pass that,
we'll set up the interview.
61
00:05:42,039 --> 00:05:43,666
Next.
No. Wait.
62
00:05:43,741 --> 00:05:46,301
You don't understand... I
understand your license has expired.
63
00:05:46,377 --> 00:05:49,107
Yes, but... And that there
are other people in line.
64
00:05:49,180 --> 00:05:51,648
Yes, I always get
my new license by the mail.
65
00:05:51,716 --> 00:05:54,617
That's if you sent in your
money before it expired.
66
00:05:54,685 --> 00:05:56,619
But I have the money,
look whatever it takes.
67
00:05:56,687 --> 00:05:58,780
If there's a fine,
or other expenses...
68
00:05:58,856 --> 00:06:00,949
Are you trying to bribe me?
69
00:06:01,592 --> 00:06:03,526
No.
Well, you slime.
70
00:06:03,594 --> 00:06:05,061
Trying to bribe
a government official.
71
00:06:05,129 --> 00:06:06,426
No, I'm not.
72
00:06:06,497 --> 00:06:09,125
Oh, now come on,
I don't want to fight you.
73
00:06:13,538 --> 00:06:14,732
Come on now, lady.
74
00:06:14,806 --> 00:06:17,570
"I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
75
00:06:17,642 --> 00:06:20,907
"with my lost saints,
I love thee with the breath,
76
00:06:20,978 --> 00:06:23,469
"smiles and tears
of all my life,
77
00:06:23,848 --> 00:06:28,308
"and, if God choose, I shall but
love thee better after death."
78
00:06:31,656 --> 00:06:34,216
"That second time they
hunted me, from hill to plain,
79
00:06:34,292 --> 00:06:36,487
"from shore to sea..."
80
00:06:44,368 --> 00:06:46,393
Excuse me, Agatha.
81
00:06:47,872 --> 00:06:49,271
Oh, dear.
82
00:06:51,475 --> 00:06:55,275
You're just lucky I happened to
be in the building. Here sign.
83
00:06:55,346 --> 00:06:58,338
Whatever possessed you to start
a fight in a government building?
84
00:06:58,416 --> 00:07:00,281
I didn't start it. This...
85
00:07:00,852 --> 00:07:02,444
That's a long story.
86
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,283
What were you
doing there, anyway?
87
00:07:04,355 --> 00:07:06,084
Getting my fishing
license renewed.
88
00:07:06,157 --> 00:07:08,182
What were you doing there?
89
00:07:09,060 --> 00:07:11,551
Visiting a friend.
Thanks, again, Lieutenant.
90
00:07:11,629 --> 00:07:14,826
Hey, hey, you don't
want to forget this.
91
00:07:14,899 --> 00:07:16,423
Your application form.
92
00:07:16,500 --> 00:07:20,163
You wouldn't plan on practicing
without a license, would you, now?
93
00:07:21,038 --> 00:07:22,528
Of course not.
94
00:07:25,776 --> 00:07:27,403
Thanks.
95
00:07:33,451 --> 00:07:36,181
Okay, so I was going to
have to spend a few days
96
00:07:36,254 --> 00:07:37,881
getting my
license restored.
97
00:07:37,955 --> 00:07:39,889
It wasn't the worst thing
that could have happened.
98
00:07:39,957 --> 00:07:43,085
And getting a couple of character
references would be easy.
99
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,152
I knew Rick and T.C. Or Higgins
would come through for me.
100
00:07:46,230 --> 00:07:47,959
Or Carol.
101
00:07:48,132 --> 00:07:49,963
At least I didn't really
have anything else
102
00:07:50,034 --> 00:07:51,763
I had to do
at the moment.
103
00:07:53,437 --> 00:07:55,428
Magnum, how could you?
What?
104
00:07:55,506 --> 00:07:57,235
No need for a reprimand,
Jonathan.
105
00:07:57,308 --> 00:07:59,742
I can see why Mr. Magnum
would forget the reading,
106
00:07:59,810 --> 00:08:01,903
what with all the excitement and everything.
107
00:08:01,979 --> 00:08:04,311
The reading?
Robert Browning.
108
00:08:04,382 --> 00:08:06,111
You offered to read
Robert Browning
109
00:08:06,183 --> 00:08:07,878
for the
Anglo-Hawaiian Society
110
00:08:07,952 --> 00:08:10,477
for the Preservation
of the English Language.
111
00:08:10,554 --> 00:08:11,919
I sent the book over.
112
00:08:11,989 --> 00:08:15,516
You wanted me to read it? I thought
you just wanted me to read it.
113
00:08:15,593 --> 00:08:16,855
You know, not out loud.
114
00:08:16,928 --> 00:08:19,294
Why didn't you tell anyone?
What was there to tell?
115
00:08:19,363 --> 00:08:20,762
It's a simple
misunderstanding.
116
00:08:20,831 --> 00:08:23,163
I have nothing prepared.
No special menus lined up.
117
00:08:23,234 --> 00:08:24,565
No flowers
in the guest bedroom.
118
00:08:24,635 --> 00:08:26,193
What are you talking about?
What's going on?
119
00:08:26,270 --> 00:08:28,534
Why, the arrival of Miss Sullivan. Of course.
120
00:08:28,606 --> 00:08:31,404
Miss Sullivan? Pulitzer
Prize winning playwright,
121
00:08:31,475 --> 00:08:33,033
Miss Phoebe Sullivan,
122
00:08:33,110 --> 00:08:34,907
who's making some ridiculous
claim about being...
123
00:08:34,979 --> 00:08:36,674
My Aunt Phoebe?
Tommy?
124
00:08:36,747 --> 00:08:38,112
Aunt Phoebe!
125
00:08:38,182 --> 00:08:42,915
Mr. Higgins, there's another long
distance call for Miss Sullivan.
126
00:08:42,987 --> 00:08:46,081
Oh, you haven't
changed a bit.
127
00:08:46,357 --> 00:08:48,188
A Mr. Hal Prince
from New York.
128
00:08:48,259 --> 00:08:51,092
Oh, can't they ever
leave me alone?
129
00:08:51,629 --> 00:08:52,823
Who's...
130
00:08:52,897 --> 00:08:54,524
Keo is visiting
her sister on Maui.
131
00:08:54,598 --> 00:08:57,260
Lani is from the Niu Valley
Temporary Domestic Agency.
132
00:08:57,335 --> 00:09:00,099
Would you be a darling
and tell him I have run off
133
00:09:00,171 --> 00:09:03,402
with an astonishingly
handsome young man.
134
00:09:03,474 --> 00:09:06,500
And you haven't the slightest
idea when I'll return. If ever.
135
00:09:06,577 --> 00:09:10,570
Come along, Tommy. We don't want to
make a liar out of your Mr. Higgins.
136
00:09:10,648 --> 00:09:11,945
He's not my Mr. Higgins.
137
00:09:12,016 --> 00:09:14,849
Do you buy those shirts
at a regular store? What?
138
00:09:14,919 --> 00:09:17,649
Isn't she wonderful?
139
00:09:19,557 --> 00:09:23,118
Oh, this is the life, isn't it?
140
00:09:23,627 --> 00:09:26,357
The sky, the sand
and the sea.
141
00:09:26,964 --> 00:09:28,932
The moon, the stars,
we got it all.
142
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:30,428
Oh, yes.
143
00:09:30,534 --> 00:09:33,970
Why would any woman want to
pursue a life of wealth and fame,
144
00:09:34,038 --> 00:09:37,098
when you can lead such a
simple, happy life here?
145
00:09:37,174 --> 00:09:38,505
I thought you
were in Europe.
146
00:09:39,977 --> 00:09:43,469
Remember when I took you
to the Folies Berger?
147
00:09:43,948 --> 00:09:45,711
That's not something
you forget.
148
00:09:45,783 --> 00:09:47,717
How old were you?
Twelve.
149
00:09:48,219 --> 00:09:51,017
I thought your mother
was going to skin me alive.
150
00:09:51,088 --> 00:09:55,115
Well, that wasn't exactly my
mom's idea of French culture.
151
00:09:55,192 --> 00:09:58,787
Katherine was always
a bit rigid.
152
00:10:00,097 --> 00:10:03,260
That was the best trip
I had to Europe. Ever.
153
00:10:03,367 --> 00:10:05,927
You know, I always thought,
with your vivid imagination,
154
00:10:06,003 --> 00:10:09,598
you'd end up working for the
CIA or the French Foreign Legion.
155
00:10:09,673 --> 00:10:13,131
I even secretly fancied you
might follow in my path,
156
00:10:13,778 --> 00:10:15,837
write a famous novel.
157
00:10:17,114 --> 00:10:20,311
You know, some people have
been a little worried about you.
158
00:10:20,384 --> 00:10:22,079
No one's heard
from you in months.
159
00:10:22,153 --> 00:10:25,213
I needed seclusion.
You know how popular I am.
160
00:10:25,289 --> 00:10:27,519
People won't leave me alone.
161
00:10:27,591 --> 00:10:32,324
And I've been working
on something very important.
162
00:10:33,297 --> 00:10:36,061
Yeah?
I've written a new play.
163
00:10:36,133 --> 00:10:39,125
Well, that's great. That
explains the call from Hal Prince.
164
00:10:39,203 --> 00:10:40,465
What?
165
00:10:40,538 --> 00:10:43,405
The guy, the call you
just got from New York.
166
00:10:43,474 --> 00:10:46,637
It's going to be
a huge success.
167
00:10:46,710 --> 00:10:49,008
I told my agent
to make a few calls.
168
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,480
People are already bidding
on it, sight unseen.
169
00:10:51,549 --> 00:10:54,609
So you came here to make
it harder to reach you
170
00:10:54,685 --> 00:10:56,312
and drive up the price.
171
00:10:56,387 --> 00:10:59,151
Good heavens, no.
I came to ask for your help.
172
00:10:59,223 --> 00:11:01,020
Someone is trying
to murder me.
173
00:11:01,759 --> 00:11:05,320
Mr. Magnum. Miss Sullivan.
Tea is served.
174
00:11:13,003 --> 00:11:15,870
My Aunt Phoebe was the
smartest woman I ever knew.
175
00:11:15,940 --> 00:11:19,341
She also had a tendency to
see things bigger than life.
176
00:11:19,410 --> 00:11:22,868
Which meant that when you were with
her you got to see more vibrant colors,
177
00:11:22,947 --> 00:11:27,975
hear more intriguing sounds, feel
things more fully than when she was gone.
178
00:11:28,052 --> 00:11:30,748
But it also meant that you
sometimes had to translate
179
00:11:30,821 --> 00:11:34,348
her view of the world
into a more mundane reality.
180
00:11:34,425 --> 00:11:36,450
I've never quite got
a good look at him,
181
00:11:36,527 --> 00:11:38,051
but I know he's been
following me
182
00:11:38,129 --> 00:11:39,824
ever since I got back
to New York,
183
00:11:40,331 --> 00:11:44,131
I am convinced he broke into my
brownstone last week and then...
184
00:11:45,269 --> 00:11:46,896
Then he tipped his hand.
185
00:11:46,971 --> 00:11:50,873
My secretary gave me a message that
I was to meet with George and Nellie.
186
00:11:50,941 --> 00:11:52,704
You remember
George and Nellie?
187
00:11:52,776 --> 00:11:55,677
Vaguely. I was to meet with George and Nellie
188
00:11:55,746 --> 00:11:59,113
at the David Garrick Theater
at 11:00 that night.
189
00:11:59,183 --> 00:12:01,481
Well, naturally, I didn't
think anything about it.
190
00:12:01,552 --> 00:12:03,577
I assumed they were
appearing there.
191
00:12:03,654 --> 00:12:06,179
After all, I'd been out
of the country.
192
00:12:06,824 --> 00:12:10,385
I don't quite understand how this,
"tipped his hand," as you put it.
193
00:12:10,461 --> 00:12:12,326
When I got to the theater,
no one was there.
194
00:12:12,396 --> 00:12:13,863
The place was all chained up.
195
00:12:13,931 --> 00:12:16,525
There was never a call
from George and Nellie.
196
00:12:16,867 --> 00:12:19,097
And then he showed up.
197
00:12:19,170 --> 00:12:21,104
The man who's
been stalking me.
198
00:12:21,172 --> 00:12:23,106
Murder Came Knocking.
Yes.
199
00:12:23,207 --> 00:12:26,768
Exactly. And do you
remember how that play ended?
200
00:12:26,844 --> 00:12:30,746
With the murder of the
attractive, charming, successful,
201
00:12:31,282 --> 00:12:33,409
but somewhat naive
Ginny Dockworth.
202
00:12:33,484 --> 00:12:37,386
A character fashioned loosely
upon myself. Aunt Phoebe,
203
00:12:37,855 --> 00:12:40,050
you were never
somewhat naive.
204
00:12:40,124 --> 00:12:42,058
Well, I know I'm not
Ginny Dockworth.
205
00:12:42,126 --> 00:12:44,560
But apparently
this madman doesn't.
206
00:12:44,828 --> 00:12:46,955
If what you say is true...
It is.
207
00:12:47,031 --> 00:12:49,329
And he has followed me
here to Hawaii.
208
00:12:49,934 --> 00:12:52,664
Aunt Phoebe...
A car followed my limo
209
00:12:52,736 --> 00:12:55,204
all the way from
the airport to your place.
210
00:12:55,439 --> 00:12:58,101
Don't you find that odd?
Well, yeah.
211
00:12:58,175 --> 00:12:59,437
Are you sure?
212
00:12:59,510 --> 00:13:02,001
This is his
license plate number.
213
00:13:02,079 --> 00:13:04,604
The limo driver
wrote it down.
214
00:13:05,449 --> 00:13:09,886
Agatha Chumley. Miss Sullivan,
I hope I'm not imposing.
215
00:13:09,987 --> 00:13:13,047
I... Oh, Jonathan.
Tea time already?
216
00:13:13,123 --> 00:13:14,954
Yes, please, join us, Agatha.
217
00:13:15,025 --> 00:13:17,994
Oh, no, no. I just popped back
with my portfolio.
218
00:13:18,062 --> 00:13:20,496
Miss Sullivan, you and I
discussed it earlier.
219
00:13:20,564 --> 00:13:22,225
Oh, yeah.
220
00:13:22,299 --> 00:13:24,290
I haven't had a great deal
of professional experience,
221
00:13:25,436 --> 00:13:27,631
Although I did perform
in a pantomime
222
00:13:27,705 --> 00:13:30,173
at the Blackpool Music Hall
as a child.
223
00:13:30,241 --> 00:13:32,471
Cinderella.
224
00:13:33,210 --> 00:13:35,508
I'm sure you were smashing.
225
00:13:35,879 --> 00:13:39,007
I thought these photos of
some of my amateur productions
226
00:13:39,083 --> 00:13:42,519
might give you
an idea of my range.
227
00:13:43,454 --> 00:13:45,115
Mr. Dennis Parker.
228
00:13:45,289 --> 00:13:49,055
Phoebe. Darling. Dennis. Dennis Parker.
229
00:13:49,126 --> 00:13:51,526
My God, it's been
a million years.
230
00:13:51,695 --> 00:13:54,994
I can't believe it. You're
actually here in Honolulu.
231
00:13:55,065 --> 00:13:57,499
But I'm devastated,
darling, you didn't ring me.
232
00:13:57,568 --> 00:13:58,967
I only just arrived.
233
00:13:59,069 --> 00:14:02,766
Well, I'm forever indebted to Agatha
for letting me know you were here.
234
00:14:04,041 --> 00:14:05,201
Dennis, I'm so sorry.
235
00:14:05,276 --> 00:14:07,767
Have you met my nephew,
Tommy Magnum?
236
00:14:08,178 --> 00:14:09,645
Well, hello, Tommy.
237
00:14:09,713 --> 00:14:12,341
I believe we've met.
I think Phoebe brought you
238
00:14:12,416 --> 00:14:15,681
to the opening of one of
my plays in New York. Yes.
239
00:14:15,753 --> 00:14:18,449
The opening of your only play
in New York, I believe, darling.
240
00:14:18,522 --> 00:14:20,285
And you've met
Jonathan Higgins.
241
00:14:20,357 --> 00:14:22,655
I'm acquainted
with Mr. Parker's work.
242
00:14:22,726 --> 00:14:25,058
And of course you know...
Agatha.
243
00:14:25,129 --> 00:14:27,563
I didn't expect
to see you, Dennis.
244
00:14:28,499 --> 00:14:30,729
Tea?
A splendid idea.
245
00:14:30,801 --> 00:14:32,769
Thank you very much.
Oh, yes.
246
00:14:34,405 --> 00:14:37,169
Darling, the drums
are beating out a message,
247
00:14:37,241 --> 00:14:39,436
You have a new opus.
248
00:14:40,878 --> 00:14:42,903
How do these things
get out so fast?
249
00:14:42,980 --> 00:14:45,915
This was our most recent
production of The Mikado.
250
00:14:45,983 --> 00:14:48,178
I know it's hard to tell
that's me in the makeup.
251
00:14:48,252 --> 00:14:50,686
Mr. Higgins, a call
for Miss Sullivan.
252
00:14:50,754 --> 00:14:53,279
Says he's from
the Shubert Organization.
253
00:14:53,357 --> 00:14:57,123
Oh, would you tell them
I'm tied up in meetings.
254
00:14:57,227 --> 00:14:59,388
That should up the price
right off the bat.
255
00:14:59,463 --> 00:15:02,626
Aunt Phoebe, you can't ask
Higgins to take all your messages.
256
00:15:02,700 --> 00:15:06,534
He's not your servant.
Well, I'm sorry.
257
00:15:06,603 --> 00:15:09,094
I'm sure he doesn't mind.
Not at all.
258
00:15:09,173 --> 00:15:11,300
Incidentally, Miss Sullivan,
on behalf of Mr. Masters,
259
00:15:11,375 --> 00:15:13,639
I'd like to extend the
invitation for you to stay with us
260
00:15:13,711 --> 00:15:15,906
as long as you like.
Thank you.
261
00:15:15,979 --> 00:15:20,746
Phoebe, I've just had the most incredible idea.
This was a few years ago. The musical, Oliver!
262
00:15:25,823 --> 00:15:28,621
Well, let's put them
on the piano.
263
00:15:31,395 --> 00:15:35,422
"Don't make any deals until
you've spoken to me. Joe Papp."
264
00:15:35,933 --> 00:15:38,800
Wouldn't you think they could
make attractive arrangements
265
00:15:38,869 --> 00:15:41,633
when they grow such beautiful flowers here.
266
00:15:41,705 --> 00:15:43,070
Darling, listen,
267
00:15:43,140 --> 00:15:46,974
I have an idea. Why don't you
premiere your new opus here.
268
00:15:47,244 --> 00:15:49,678
Oh, Denny,
what a quaint idea.
269
00:15:49,747 --> 00:15:53,513
Darling, I'm serious. Listen, I'm guest
director of the Hawaii Theater Center.
270
00:15:53,584 --> 00:15:55,245
You've no doubt heard of it.
271
00:15:55,319 --> 00:15:58,516
And this is
A Streetcar Named Desire.
272
00:15:58,589 --> 00:15:59,920
I played Blanche.
273
00:15:59,990 --> 00:16:01,548
I'd love to talk to you about it, darling.
274
00:16:01,625 --> 00:16:05,026
But my nephew and I have some urgent
business to attend to right now.
275
00:16:05,095 --> 00:16:07,757
You do understand? Well, look,
darling. Here, take my card
276
00:16:07,831 --> 00:16:09,059
at least, will you?
And drop by.
277
00:16:10,234 --> 00:16:11,394
Well, Agatha.
278
00:16:13,103 --> 00:16:15,663
And Tommy.
Thomas.
279
00:16:15,806 --> 00:16:20,243
Of course, Thomas.
Well, cheerio.
280
00:16:24,281 --> 00:16:27,773
Well, can you find this man
who is planning to murder me.
281
00:16:28,018 --> 00:16:32,887
"I have always depended
on the kindness of strangers."
282
00:16:39,229 --> 00:16:43,495
How could you let your license
expire? It just slipped my mind.
283
00:16:43,967 --> 00:16:45,696
Well, going to the bank,
slips your mind.
284
00:16:45,769 --> 00:16:47,703
Writing home,
slips your mind.
285
00:16:47,771 --> 00:16:49,602
Renewing your private investigator's license
286
00:16:49,673 --> 00:16:50,867
does not slip your mind.
287
00:16:50,941 --> 00:16:53,535
T. C., you're making a big deal
out of a very little mistake.
288
00:16:53,610 --> 00:16:56,340
It doesn't do any good to
go on and on and on about it.
289
00:16:56,413 --> 00:16:58,040
What I need right
now is a reference.
290
00:16:58,115 --> 00:17:00,948
I need a recommendation
from somebody like you.
291
00:17:01,018 --> 00:17:03,782
An upstanding citizen,
a pillar of the community.
292
00:17:03,854 --> 00:17:06,687
So, how come you didn't
ask me to do it?
293
00:17:10,194 --> 00:17:11,422
I was going to, Rick,
294
00:17:11,495 --> 00:17:14,157
but you've done so many
nice things for me lately.
295
00:17:14,231 --> 00:17:17,166
Yeah, okay, okay, okay,
what am I supposed to say?
296
00:17:17,968 --> 00:17:19,765
What you honestly feel.
297
00:17:19,837 --> 00:17:21,964
Well, you know what those
examiners like to see.
298
00:17:22,039 --> 00:17:25,475
Like, how you're the kind of
guy that always pays his debts.
299
00:17:25,542 --> 00:17:26,736
Yeah, something like that.
300
00:17:26,810 --> 00:17:31,804
The kind of guy who would never drag
a citizen into a dangerous situation.
301
00:17:31,882 --> 00:17:33,213
Not unless it's
absolutely necessary.
302
00:17:33,283 --> 00:17:35,444
The kind of guy who would
never use his friends,
303
00:17:35,519 --> 00:17:39,319
who are not licensed private
investigators to do all of his footwork.
304
00:17:39,389 --> 00:17:40,856
I don't do that.
305
00:17:40,924 --> 00:17:43,188
Hey, I got a make
on that license plate.
306
00:17:43,260 --> 00:17:47,959
DBO 527 is registered to Ace One
Car Rental agency. Thanks, Rick.
307
00:17:51,068 --> 00:17:54,231
T.C. All right, all right,
all right. I'll do it.
308
00:17:54,304 --> 00:17:56,295
But you're gonna have to
give me a couple of days.
309
00:17:56,373 --> 00:17:59,171
This is going to take
some very creative writing.
310
00:17:59,243 --> 00:18:01,939
Thanks, T.C.
311
00:18:03,213 --> 00:18:05,147
You know I can't give
any information like that.
312
00:18:05,215 --> 00:18:07,410
Look, all I need
is the name of a guy
313
00:18:07,484 --> 00:18:10,578
who rented a car with
the license plate DBO 527.
314
00:18:10,654 --> 00:18:11,882
Are you a cop?
315
00:18:11,955 --> 00:18:16,585
No. I'm a private
investigator. Here's my card.
316
00:18:18,362 --> 00:18:20,796
Everybody's
a private investigator.
317
00:18:26,069 --> 00:18:29,766
This license is expired. Well, yeah,
I know. The new one's in the mail.
318
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,934
See, I have a client
and he rented that car
319
00:18:33,010 --> 00:18:36,138
last week and he thinks he
left something valuable in it.
320
00:18:36,213 --> 00:18:37,578
What's your client's name?
321
00:18:37,648 --> 00:18:40,845
I can't tell you that,
client confidentiality.
322
00:18:42,519 --> 00:18:44,578
I'm very busy here,
Mr. Magnum.
323
00:18:44,655 --> 00:18:46,953
I'm sorry.
I can't help you.
324
00:18:59,503 --> 00:19:00,902
Mr. Masters' estate.
325
00:19:00,971 --> 00:19:02,029
Hi, Higgins.
326
00:19:02,105 --> 00:19:03,470
Oh, Magnum. It's you.
327
00:19:03,540 --> 00:19:05,030
Could I talk
to Aunt Phoebe?
328
00:19:05,108 --> 00:19:06,973
No, you can't, hold on.
329
00:19:07,044 --> 00:19:09,308
Robin Masters' estate,
please hold.
330
00:19:09,379 --> 00:19:11,006
I'm afraid I can't
help you, Magnum.
331
00:19:11,081 --> 00:19:14,312
Oh, come on, Higgins. She'll talk
to me. I'm not some famous producer.
332
00:19:14,384 --> 00:19:17,876
Be that as it may, you can't
talk to her. She isn't here.
333
00:19:17,955 --> 00:19:20,856
Where is she?
I haven't the slightest idea.
334
00:19:20,924 --> 00:19:23,825
After she finished giving orders
about rearranging the furniture
335
00:19:23,894 --> 00:19:25,885
in the living room,
the study and her room,
336
00:19:25,963 --> 00:19:28,454
and completely changing the
week's menus with the cook,
337
00:19:28,532 --> 00:19:31,558
she informed me that she was
borrowing my car to go visit a friend.
338
00:19:31,635 --> 00:19:33,068
Higgins,
how could you let her leave?
339
00:19:33,136 --> 00:19:35,468
What if what she said about
somebody following her is true?
340
00:19:35,539 --> 00:19:38,770
Did you ever try giving
advice to your Aunt Phoebe?
341
00:19:38,842 --> 00:19:41,367
How long do you think she'll
be gracing us with her presence?
342
00:19:41,979 --> 00:19:43,844
Oh, that's hard to say.
343
00:19:43,914 --> 00:19:46,712
She's been known to stay a month
or two if she likes the company.
344
00:19:46,817 --> 00:19:47,977
A month?
345
00:19:48,051 --> 00:19:52,385
Or two. And so far she seems
to be having a great time.
346
00:19:54,124 --> 00:19:55,591
Oh, my God.
347
00:20:02,666 --> 00:20:05,100
LANl:
Robin Master's Estate...
348
00:20:40,270 --> 00:20:43,103
What the hell
are you doing, lady?
349
00:20:45,175 --> 00:20:47,837
Back up!
Come on, move it!
350
00:20:48,011 --> 00:20:51,037
What are you doing?
You can't park there.
351
00:20:51,148 --> 00:20:52,638
Move back the other way!
352
00:20:52,716 --> 00:20:54,343
Come on, lady. Move that car!
353
00:20:55,652 --> 00:20:58,052
Come on, lady, I'm late for work! Back up!
354
00:20:58,121 --> 00:20:59,850
Oh, brother!
Hey, where are you going?
355
00:21:00,524 --> 00:21:03,322
Shut the door!
Can't park there!
356
00:21:05,962 --> 00:21:07,156
Hey!
357
00:21:10,634 --> 00:21:13,535
Come on, get back in the
car and move it, will you?
358
00:21:14,104 --> 00:21:17,005
What's the matter with you?
Come on.
359
00:21:56,446 --> 00:21:57,708
Coming.
360
00:22:00,851 --> 00:22:06,346
Hello. Yes, she's staying here,
but she's out at the moment.
361
00:22:11,094 --> 00:22:12,527
I'll be right there.
362
00:22:25,542 --> 00:22:28,238
Oh, Sully. You're here.
363
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,111
Are you okay?
Did I call you Sully?
364
00:22:33,216 --> 00:22:34,649
Yeah.
365
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,548
Well, there is a strong
family resemblance.
366
00:22:39,623 --> 00:22:42,183
Anyone ever tell you you
look like your Uncle Sully?
367
00:22:42,259 --> 00:22:46,423
They used to. It doesn't
matter how long someone's gone,
368
00:22:47,664 --> 00:22:51,395
you still miss them
like they just left yesterday.
369
00:22:51,468 --> 00:22:53,060
What happened?
370
00:22:55,705 --> 00:22:57,696
I stopped at a theater.
371
00:22:58,708 --> 00:23:01,677
I guess it must have
been the wrong one.
372
00:23:02,379 --> 00:23:03,744
Mr. Magnum.
373
00:23:08,251 --> 00:23:10,219
We've notified the police.
374
00:23:10,287 --> 00:23:12,278
Apparently, she was mugged
and knocked down.
375
00:23:12,355 --> 00:23:13,686
Now physically,
she's all right.
376
00:23:13,757 --> 00:23:18,319
Just a few contusions, but
she seems a little disoriented.
377
00:23:19,396 --> 00:23:20,590
Thanks.
378
00:23:21,898 --> 00:23:23,525
He stole my play.
379
00:23:24,534 --> 00:23:26,832
The man who's been
following me.
380
00:23:26,903 --> 00:23:29,201
He wasn't planning
to murder me.
381
00:23:29,673 --> 00:23:31,903
He wanted to steal my play.
382
00:23:40,784 --> 00:23:43,617
I told you the dresser
is to go against the wall
383
00:23:43,687 --> 00:23:45,518
and my bed is supposed
to be by the window.
384
00:23:45,589 --> 00:23:49,047
I can't write unless my bed
is by the window.
385
00:23:49,125 --> 00:23:51,320
But that's where I moved
it before and you said...
386
00:23:51,394 --> 00:23:54,022
That's all right, Lani.
I'll take care of it.
387
00:23:59,102 --> 00:24:03,903
Oh, sometimes I despair if we'll
ever get this place fixed up right.
388
00:24:05,208 --> 00:24:07,233
Who were you
going to see?
389
00:24:08,278 --> 00:24:09,836
What do you mean? When?
390
00:24:09,913 --> 00:24:12,381
When you got lost.
When you got mugged.
391
00:24:12,449 --> 00:24:14,314
You told Higgins you were
going to see a friend.
392
00:24:14,451 --> 00:24:15,713
Oh.
393
00:24:16,586 --> 00:24:18,053
Dennis, I suppose.
394
00:24:18,121 --> 00:24:21,113
You suppose? Dennis. I
was going to see Dennis.
395
00:24:21,191 --> 00:24:24,422
Good heavens, if this is
how you run an investigation,
396
00:24:24,494 --> 00:24:26,325
it's no wonder you're
not working for the CIA.
397
00:24:26,396 --> 00:24:30,059
You're supposed to interrogate
the suspects not the client.
398
00:24:38,108 --> 00:24:40,508
Sully never liked
this side of me.
399
00:24:41,544 --> 00:24:44,206
Crabapple, he called me.
400
00:24:49,853 --> 00:24:52,947
Do you remember,
when Murder Came Knocking
401
00:24:53,023 --> 00:24:57,255
opened in New York, and you and
I sat up all night at Sardi's
402
00:24:57,327 --> 00:24:59,659
waiting for the reviews
to come in?
403
00:24:59,729 --> 00:25:03,688
Dennis Parker thought I was
going to fall flat on my face.
404
00:25:05,802 --> 00:25:08,134
But the reviews
were all glowing,
405
00:25:09,673 --> 00:25:11,538
except for that one...
406
00:25:11,975 --> 00:25:13,738
Oh, what was his name?
407
00:25:13,810 --> 00:25:15,675
The critic for Act One.
408
00:25:18,748 --> 00:25:20,739
Oh, it was wonderful.
409
00:25:39,602 --> 00:25:41,866
I'll come get you
for dinner.
410
00:26:18,375 --> 00:26:20,809
I think I liked it better
the other way.
411
00:26:21,344 --> 00:26:22,743
Yes.
412
00:26:23,346 --> 00:26:25,143
Well,
perhaps it is a good idea
413
00:26:25,215 --> 00:26:26,705
to shake everything up
once in a while
414
00:26:26,783 --> 00:26:28,978
to avoid getting into a rut,
415
00:26:29,052 --> 00:26:30,246
if you see what I mean.
416
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,653
Sounds like something
my Aunt Phoebe said.
417
00:26:35,959 --> 00:26:38,291
I trust
she's resting comfortably.
418
00:26:41,998 --> 00:26:43,226
I guess.
419
00:26:45,535 --> 00:26:47,560
Let me ask you
a hypothetical question.
420
00:26:47,637 --> 00:26:51,266
The kind of question one might find
on a private investigator's exam?
421
00:26:51,341 --> 00:26:52,569
Exactly.
422
00:26:52,709 --> 00:26:56,372
Suppose you were a famous
composer, for instance,
423
00:26:56,446 --> 00:26:59,779
and you hadn't written
any symphonies or operas
424
00:26:59,849 --> 00:27:02,545
or anything like that
for several years.
425
00:27:03,553 --> 00:27:07,011
And suppose you told everyone
426
00:27:07,090 --> 00:27:11,322
you'd just finished something
really very spectacular,
427
00:27:12,128 --> 00:27:14,926
only you didn't finish it
for some reason.
428
00:27:14,998 --> 00:27:18,126
Writer's block, for example?
Yeah. Say, writer's block,
429
00:27:18,201 --> 00:27:19,964
you just...
You couldn't finish it
430
00:27:20,036 --> 00:27:24,200
and everyone was expecting to see
it and there was all this pressure.
431
00:27:25,175 --> 00:27:26,836
What would you do?
432
00:27:29,446 --> 00:27:31,744
There is another way
to look at this.
433
00:27:31,815 --> 00:27:34,113
Another hypothetical.
Precisely.
434
00:27:34,317 --> 00:27:37,252
Suppose you had been in retirement
for some time and you had, indeed,
435
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,447
written something quite...
What was the word?
436
00:27:39,522 --> 00:27:41,251
Spectacular.
Quite.
437
00:27:41,458 --> 00:27:45,451
But you were afraid it might get lost
in the rush of other compositions.
438
00:27:45,528 --> 00:27:49,555
And you knew that with some
unusual publicity gimmick
439
00:27:50,066 --> 00:27:52,830
you might get it the attention
it so richly deserved.
440
00:27:54,904 --> 00:27:55,893
Hmm.
441
00:27:58,241 --> 00:28:00,675
Or, she could be
telling the truth.
442
00:28:01,711 --> 00:28:03,338
I have to assume she is.
443
00:28:06,483 --> 00:28:10,214
I think I'll pay a visit to an
old friend with a motive for theft.
444
00:28:10,453 --> 00:28:12,250
Oh, the phones?
445
00:28:13,890 --> 00:28:16,825
Oh, I disconnected them.
Temporarily.
446
00:28:16,893 --> 00:28:19,487
It does make it
more peaceful somehow.
447
00:28:29,139 --> 00:28:30,333
When I was eight years old,
448
00:28:30,406 --> 00:28:34,240
my Aunt Phoebe took me to see a
production of A Midsummer Night's Dream.
449
00:28:34,310 --> 00:28:36,676
My mother told her
that I was too young.
450
00:28:36,746 --> 00:28:39,442
But Phoebe said you're never
too young for Shakespeare.
451
00:28:39,516 --> 00:28:40,608
And she was right.
452
00:28:40,683 --> 00:28:42,514
I loved every minute of it.
453
00:28:42,585 --> 00:28:46,351
After that, once a year, she took
me to New York to see a new play.
454
00:28:46,422 --> 00:28:48,686
Some I liked
better than others.
455
00:28:48,758 --> 00:28:50,225
And the year
Uncle Sully died,
456
00:28:50,293 --> 00:28:54,593
she took me to see the opening of
her first play, Murder Comes Knocking.
457
00:28:58,501 --> 00:28:59,832
I watched the play.
458
00:28:59,903 --> 00:29:02,929
But mostly, I watched her
watching the play.
459
00:29:03,339 --> 00:29:05,739
And I saw something
I hadn't seen much of
460
00:29:05,808 --> 00:29:09,266
up to that point, an
absolute love of what she did.
461
00:29:09,345 --> 00:29:11,074
Somehow, I couldn't believe that that woman
462
00:29:11,147 --> 00:29:13,377
would let herself be stopped
by writer's block
463
00:29:13,449 --> 00:29:16,316
or stoop to some cheap
gimmick to get publicity.
464
00:29:16,386 --> 00:29:17,683
What I could believe
465
00:29:17,754 --> 00:29:20,882
was that someone who had been
jealous of her success for years
466
00:29:20,957 --> 00:29:24,256
would do almost anything to keep
her from producing another play.
467
00:29:28,431 --> 00:29:30,422
Take five, will you kids?
468
00:29:41,344 --> 00:29:45,872
Well, what are we doing,
slumming?
469
00:29:46,916 --> 00:29:48,144
I beg your pardon?
470
00:29:48,218 --> 00:29:50,846
Phoebe sent you down
with some cockamamie story
471
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:54,822
about how she's just too
busy to get down to see me,
472
00:29:54,891 --> 00:29:58,622
but we must, dear, have
lunch one day real soon.
473
00:29:58,695 --> 00:30:01,027
Phoebe doesn't know I'm here. Oh.
474
00:30:02,732 --> 00:30:05,792
She didn't come
to see you this afternoon?
475
00:30:07,670 --> 00:30:11,231
I suppose you were with
people who could verify that?
476
00:30:12,508 --> 00:30:14,373
You know, Tommy,
477
00:30:14,444 --> 00:30:17,436
I don't think I appreciate
your tone of voice.
478
00:30:17,513 --> 00:30:20,209
Well, I don't think you're gonna
appreciate this a whole lot more.
479
00:30:20,283 --> 00:30:24,083
You had one play on Broadway,
one success and then oblivion.
480
00:30:24,153 --> 00:30:26,883
Oh, I had a cult following.
481
00:30:27,690 --> 00:30:30,955
While you watched Phoebe
have one hit after another.
482
00:30:31,060 --> 00:30:32,857
Cheap commercial theatrics.
483
00:30:32,929 --> 00:30:35,056
Well, you know what I think?
484
00:30:35,298 --> 00:30:37,732
I think you can't
stand the idea
485
00:30:37,967 --> 00:30:40,128
of seeing her have
one more big success.
486
00:30:40,203 --> 00:30:43,468
That's where you're wrong, Tommy.
I don't begrudge Phoebe anything.
487
00:30:43,906 --> 00:30:47,307
Not her success,
nor her marriage. Nothing.
488
00:30:47,644 --> 00:30:51,580
Frankly, I don't think this
conversation is leading us anywhere.
489
00:30:51,648 --> 00:30:54,640
So, if you'll forgive me,
I am rather busy.
490
00:30:57,854 --> 00:31:00,254
Oh, that rental car
you're driving.
491
00:31:00,323 --> 00:31:01,620
Is that part
of your deal here?
492
00:31:01,691 --> 00:31:03,818
I don't have a rental car.
493
00:31:03,993 --> 00:31:05,756
As a matter of fact,
I don't have any car.
494
00:31:07,196 --> 00:31:10,188
You know, Tommy. I just
never learned to drive.
495
00:31:15,872 --> 00:31:18,466
All right.
Let's pick it up from the top.
496
00:31:19,108 --> 00:31:21,406
Jenny, you be a little bit
more downstage,
497
00:31:21,477 --> 00:31:24,969
and please, now,
let's pick up the tempo.
498
00:31:29,218 --> 00:31:31,550
I know what you're thinking,
and you're right.
499
00:31:31,621 --> 00:31:34,146
Breaking into
the Ace One Car Rental Agency,
500
00:31:34,223 --> 00:31:35,952
especially with
an expired license,
501
00:31:36,025 --> 00:31:40,325
could be one of those little
mistakes that turn into big problems.
502
00:31:48,037 --> 00:31:52,167
On the other hand, at this point I
really didn't see what other choice I had.
503
00:31:52,241 --> 00:31:54,971
And sometimes you have to
risk those little mistakes
504
00:31:55,044 --> 00:31:56,841
to get the big reward.
505
00:32:24,307 --> 00:32:27,174
Now, all I had to do was
figure out what the big reward
506
00:32:27,243 --> 00:32:29,040
was doing following Phoebe,
507
00:32:29,112 --> 00:32:31,979
and if he was the one
who had stolen her play.
508
00:32:32,048 --> 00:32:35,540
There was something real familiar
about the name Theo Winters.
509
00:32:35,618 --> 00:32:37,108
I knew, I knew who he was,
510
00:32:37,186 --> 00:32:39,381
but I couldn't quite
place it.
511
00:32:39,756 --> 00:32:41,553
I was pretty sure
Phoebe would know
512
00:32:41,624 --> 00:32:43,683
or at the very least,
Higgins.
513
00:33:06,382 --> 00:33:08,475
Yeah.
T. C., it's me.
514
00:33:08,551 --> 00:33:10,109
Thomas?
Yes.
515
00:33:10,186 --> 00:33:13,155
Does the name Theo Winters
mean anything to you?
516
00:33:13,222 --> 00:33:15,190
I can't hear you.
Theo Winters.
517
00:33:15,258 --> 00:33:18,421
Does the name Theo Winters
mean anything to you?
518
00:33:18,494 --> 00:33:20,155
I'll have that character reference ready
519
00:33:20,229 --> 00:33:21,719
if you want to come by
and pick it up.
520
00:33:21,798 --> 00:33:23,925
T. C., I need
a little help here.
521
00:33:24,066 --> 00:33:27,035
You sure do. That's why it
took me a while to write it.
522
00:33:27,103 --> 00:33:29,970
I'm talking about
Theo Winters.
523
00:33:30,039 --> 00:33:33,065
For some reason, that
name just sticks out to me.
524
00:33:33,142 --> 00:33:35,303
Does this have anything
to do with the case
525
00:33:35,378 --> 00:33:39,246
you're not investigating because
your investigator's license ran out?
526
00:33:39,315 --> 00:33:41,408
But I can't quite place it.
527
00:33:41,551 --> 00:33:44,315
Theo Winters.
Yeah, you know him?
528
00:33:44,821 --> 00:33:46,413
The name does
sound familiar.
529
00:33:49,692 --> 00:33:50,750
T. C?
530
00:33:50,827 --> 00:33:53,057
Wait a minute,
let me look.
531
00:34:06,876 --> 00:34:10,209
Sardi's. The night
Phoebe's play opened.
532
00:34:10,279 --> 00:34:12,213
Maybe it was the excitement
of the night,
533
00:34:12,281 --> 00:34:14,613
maybe Phoebe was just
a bit overly dramatic,
534
00:34:14,684 --> 00:34:16,675
but when one critic
who didn't like her play
535
00:34:16,752 --> 00:34:18,310
walked into the restaurant,
536
00:34:18,387 --> 00:34:21,618
she dumped her Hungarian goulash on his head.
537
00:34:21,691 --> 00:34:25,092
I ducked under the table as the
food fight started in earnest.
538
00:34:25,161 --> 00:34:27,629
And the critic for the
theatrical trade paper, Act One,
539
00:34:27,697 --> 00:34:28,857
just stood there,
540
00:34:28,931 --> 00:34:31,126
goulash oozing down
his suit.
541
00:34:31,467 --> 00:34:34,163
His name was Theo Winters.
542
00:34:34,403 --> 00:34:36,030
I guess it was crawling
underneath the desk
543
00:34:36,105 --> 00:34:38,198
that helped me
remember that night.
544
00:34:38,274 --> 00:34:42,677
Which just goes to prove that there
really are no little mistakes in life.
545
00:34:46,015 --> 00:34:47,346
On the other hand,
Theo Winters
546
00:34:47,416 --> 00:34:49,008
had made
a definite little mistake
547
00:34:49,085 --> 00:34:52,418
in using his real name and
address when renting a car.
548
00:34:52,788 --> 00:34:55,416
That's if he didn't
want to get caught.
549
00:35:18,180 --> 00:35:20,273
Hello, Denny.
550
00:35:27,690 --> 00:35:31,683
Here, take it, take it,
it's worthless.
551
00:35:31,761 --> 00:35:35,424
I paid some idiot $50 to
steal that thing for me
552
00:35:35,498 --> 00:35:38,524
and it's garbage.
It's gibberish.
553
00:35:39,068 --> 00:35:42,469
The great Phoebe Sullivan,
she's lost it.
554
00:35:43,172 --> 00:35:44,696
And she's lost her mind.
555
00:35:58,220 --> 00:36:00,415
I'm afraid I made
a little mistake.
556
00:36:00,489 --> 00:36:03,014
I underestimated
your ability to find me.
557
00:36:03,626 --> 00:36:04,752
Drink, Mr. Magnum?
558
00:36:05,595 --> 00:36:06,994
No.
559
00:36:07,597 --> 00:36:10,293
Is our Mr. Parker all right?
560
00:36:10,366 --> 00:36:14,097
He's explaining a few things to a
friend of mine in the police department.
561
00:36:14,170 --> 00:36:16,536
And I suppose I should expect
to hear their heavy knock
562
00:36:16,606 --> 00:36:18,471
on my door at any moment.
563
00:36:20,109 --> 00:36:22,942
I assure you that I had
nothing to do with the theft.
564
00:36:23,980 --> 00:36:26,039
I will admit that Denny
Parker was the first person
565
00:36:26,115 --> 00:36:27,776
I contacted on my arrival,
566
00:36:27,850 --> 00:36:29,909
and when he offered
to sell me the manuscript,
567
00:36:29,986 --> 00:36:33,149
I felt, well, it was at least
worth examining.
568
00:36:33,222 --> 00:36:34,985
Why are you
following my aunt?
569
00:36:35,057 --> 00:36:37,252
Phoebe Sullivan
is a public figure.
570
00:36:37,326 --> 00:36:39,920
One of great curiosity
to my readers.
571
00:36:41,497 --> 00:36:43,260
When she disappeared
a few months ago,
572
00:36:43,332 --> 00:36:46,028
everyone assumed that she had
gone in seclusion again to write.
573
00:36:46,102 --> 00:36:47,797
However,
I was in Connecticut,
574
00:36:47,870 --> 00:36:50,805
visiting a friend
at the Middlebury Clinic,
575
00:36:50,873 --> 00:36:54,934
I bumped into Phoebe
in Dr. Gilford's office.
576
00:36:55,077 --> 00:36:57,739
He is one of the foremost
experts on Alzheimer's Disease
577
00:36:57,813 --> 00:36:58,837
and related disorders.
578
00:36:58,914 --> 00:37:02,179
Now, it occurred to me
that if Phoebe Sullivan
579
00:37:02,585 --> 00:37:04,815
were suffering from...
She isn't.
580
00:37:05,988 --> 00:37:08,320
I checked with the records
department at Middlebury.
581
00:37:08,391 --> 00:37:10,689
Naturally,
they gave me nothing.
582
00:37:10,993 --> 00:37:12,756
And then Phoebe ran.
583
00:37:13,362 --> 00:37:15,125
I pursued her
all the way here,
584
00:37:15,197 --> 00:37:19,065
but she's very slippery.
I thought I had her yesterday,
585
00:37:19,135 --> 00:37:21,103
but she slipped away
before I could talk to her.
586
00:37:21,170 --> 00:37:22,797
She won't even let me
get near her.
587
00:37:22,872 --> 00:37:25,397
Well, there's no need.
You can go home, Mr. Winters.
588
00:37:25,474 --> 00:37:27,101
There's no story.
589
00:37:28,477 --> 00:37:30,843
If there is one,
I'll find out.
590
00:37:30,913 --> 00:37:33,780
And I'll write about it.
Why?
591
00:37:34,583 --> 00:37:38,383
Because you're a great writer
with a story that has to be told?
592
00:37:38,454 --> 00:37:40,149
Or because you're still nursing a wounded ego
593
00:37:40,222 --> 00:37:42,520
over a 30-year-old
plate of Hungarian goulash?
594
00:37:50,900 --> 00:37:53,733
I'd learned not to count
on a lot of things in life,
595
00:37:53,803 --> 00:37:55,668
but one thing I could
always count on,
596
00:37:55,738 --> 00:37:58,138
in an odd way,
was my Aunt Phoebe.
597
00:37:58,908 --> 00:38:01,103
She was unconventional
and nobody in my family
598
00:38:01,177 --> 00:38:04,943
could quite understand why staid,
solid, Uncle Sully had married her.
599
00:38:05,014 --> 00:38:08,780
But I knew why. He married
her because she was exciting
600
00:38:08,851 --> 00:38:11,115
and unpredictable,
full of life.
601
00:38:11,187 --> 00:38:13,052
And I knew
she always would be.
602
00:38:13,122 --> 00:38:14,749
I still had to believe
there was nothing
603
00:38:14,824 --> 00:38:17,019
that could drag
my Aunt Phoebe down.
604
00:38:17,126 --> 00:38:20,618
Not as long as there was
something I could do about it.
605
00:38:21,230 --> 00:38:22,322
You're home.
606
00:38:22,398 --> 00:38:26,596
What's all this? I'll bet you
thought I'd forgotten how to cook.
607
00:38:26,669 --> 00:38:31,663
Well, I had a terrible time finding all
the ingredients, but it's your favorite.
608
00:38:33,476 --> 00:38:37,640
Aunt Phoebe,
I saw Dennis Parker tonight.
609
00:38:37,713 --> 00:38:40,079
Oh, Sully,
please, let's not talk shop.
610
00:38:40,149 --> 00:38:41,480
Not tonight.
611
00:38:42,351 --> 00:38:43,375
Thomas.
612
00:38:45,621 --> 00:38:49,785
I'm afraid I cannot remember what
I did with your anniversary present.
613
00:38:50,226 --> 00:38:52,717
I remember buying it
and bringing it home.
614
00:38:53,229 --> 00:38:54,594
Aunt Phoebe.
615
00:38:54,663 --> 00:38:58,690
But I haven't seen hide
nor hair of it since then.
616
00:39:01,303 --> 00:39:03,999
Maybe Myrtle put it away
when she was cleaning up.
617
00:39:04,073 --> 00:39:05,472
Aunt Phoebe.
618
00:39:06,842 --> 00:39:08,571
I've been thinking
619
00:39:09,178 --> 00:39:12,045
we really ought to
fix this place up.
620
00:39:12,114 --> 00:39:15,641
Not just redecorate, but
really shake down the rafters.
621
00:39:16,152 --> 00:39:18,780
Oh, Sully, did you really
think I'd be the kind
622
00:39:18,854 --> 00:39:20,378
to want to put down roots?
623
00:39:20,456 --> 00:39:24,358
I'm not Sully. I'm Thomas.
624
00:39:42,011 --> 00:39:44,241
Who are you?
625
00:39:46,515 --> 00:39:47,846
I'm sorry.
626
00:39:53,489 --> 00:39:55,013
I'm sorry.
627
00:39:55,324 --> 00:40:00,421
I'm afraid my husband
isn't home right now.
628
00:40:01,897 --> 00:40:03,194
Aunt Phoebe.
629
00:40:06,502 --> 00:40:08,595
What happened to your play?
630
00:40:10,806 --> 00:40:12,296
You found it.
631
00:40:15,644 --> 00:40:17,168
Thomas.
632
00:40:22,551 --> 00:40:24,018
You found it.
633
00:40:37,766 --> 00:40:40,997
It isn't very good, is it?
634
00:41:00,723 --> 00:41:02,657
What took me
a long time to sort out
635
00:41:02,725 --> 00:41:04,886
was why I was mad
at Phoebe.
636
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:06,393
She hadn't let me down.
637
00:41:06,462 --> 00:41:07,861
Life was letting her down.
638
00:41:07,930 --> 00:41:09,921
And try as I might,
I couldn't figure out
639
00:41:09,999 --> 00:41:12,695
what I could do
to turn that around for her.
640
00:41:14,069 --> 00:41:18,665
Magnum. The police are here to
take a statement from Phoebe.
641
00:41:19,108 --> 00:41:22,737
Apparently, she is gone.
So is the Audi.
642
00:41:43,866 --> 00:41:48,496
"Lovers and madmen
have such seething brains,
643
00:41:49,204 --> 00:41:51,968
"such shaping fantasies,

A Midsummer Night's Dream.

00:42:56,939 --> 00:42:58,304
I remember.
662
00:43:06,782 --> 00:43:09,216
What a joy it was
663
00:43:09,551 --> 00:43:14,488
for me to see you seeing
things for the first time.
664
00:43:20,529 --> 00:43:25,057
Aunt Phoebe... I'm going
to go back to New York.
665
00:43:25,934 --> 00:43:28,528
I want you to stay here
with me.
666
00:43:28,604 --> 00:43:30,299
I thought that's what
I wanted, too.
667
00:43:30,372 --> 00:43:34,968
I tricked myself into
thinking I was in danger.
668
00:43:36,011 --> 00:43:39,447
So you'd come riding in
on a white horse
669
00:43:40,082 --> 00:43:41,709
and rescue me.
670
00:43:41,784 --> 00:43:44,912
I want to rescue you.
I know.
671
00:43:46,422 --> 00:43:48,253
Well, then stay here.
672
00:43:49,391 --> 00:43:53,725
Some days things
are so clear,
673
00:43:53,796 --> 00:43:58,062
I think this is all just
going to go away.
674
00:43:58,834 --> 00:44:03,771
But it isn't. I need to be
around a lot of people
675
00:44:03,839 --> 00:44:06,273
who will keep me
thinking and working.
676
00:44:06,341 --> 00:44:08,241
I have that in New York.
677
00:44:08,310 --> 00:44:13,270
My theater family. And a few
regular family members, too,
678
00:44:13,348 --> 00:44:15,373
if I can put up with them.
679
00:44:17,019 --> 00:44:19,613
I always did need
a lot of distraction.
680
00:44:19,855 --> 00:44:24,121
I'm afraid my life here
would get too sedentary.
681
00:44:26,295 --> 00:44:30,629
And I realize now that I
needed to see you again.
682
00:44:30,999 --> 00:44:32,967
One more time.
683
00:44:34,103 --> 00:44:37,539
And to let you know
how much I love you.
684
00:44:41,543 --> 00:44:43,443
Aunt Phoebe.
685
00:44:43,512 --> 00:44:46,538
And to let you know I'm
going to be okay with this.
686
00:44:46,615 --> 00:44:49,709
Really, I am.
687
00:44:56,625 --> 00:45:00,061
And don't judge
Dennis too harshly.
688
00:45:02,131 --> 00:45:04,531
Life didn't work out for him
689
00:45:04,633 --> 00:45:07,534
as well as it did for us.
690
00:45:18,914 --> 00:45:20,814
"A revival of
Murder Came Knocking
691
00:45:20,883 --> 00:45:24,341
"will be mounted at the newly
refurbished David Garrick Theater.
692
00:45:24,419 --> 00:45:27,320
"All of New York society is

693
00:45:27,389 --> 00:45:29,186

00:45:29,691 --> 00:45:31,591

"at which time the theater
will be rededicated
696
00:45:35,531 --> 00:45:36,793
"and carry her name."
697
00:45:37,166 --> 00:45:40,761
Jonathan,
isn't that wonderful?
698
00:45:41,103 --> 00:45:43,731
Apparently, it was
Theo Winters' idea.
699
00:45:45,374 --> 00:45:47,672
"Miss Sullivan,
who has gone into seclusion
700
00:45:47,743 --> 00:45:51,577
"to write and reflect, could
not be reached for comment."
701
00:45:55,784 --> 00:46:00,483
Oh, incidentally, your renewed
investigator's license arrived in the mail.
702
00:46:07,763 --> 00:46:10,823
More tea?
No, thanks, Lani.
703
00:46:21,710 --> 00:46:24,110
Keo will be back
tomorrow morning.
704
00:46:26,315 --> 00:46:29,216
I think I'll take a walk.
705
00:46:41,997 --> 00:46:44,932
"And as imagination
bodies forth
706
00:46:45,100 --> 00:46:49,434
"the form of things unknown,

00:46:53,942 --> 00:46:57,742
"a local habitation
