14x09 - Some Like it Hot

[bunniefuu]

Yes.



Yes.

Yes, I'm sure, she's dead.

Please hurry.

This is the second time I've called.

Oh, my...

[sniffling]

Oh...

[suspenseful music]

[Mary's voice] And I'll see Meg anytime I want!

[Mack's voice] And you keep it up,

I won't be responsible for what I'm going to do to you.

[Mary's voice] You are hurting me!

[suspenseful music]

[police car sirens wailing]

[officer] What were you doing here, Mrs. MacKenzie?

[Karen] Well,

uhm, you see, officer.

I wanted to talk to her about my daughter.

She claims to be Meg's grandmother.

[flash clicks]

Meg is adopted, and she has visitation rights,

but she's making my little girl miserable, so...

I just thought that

I could come here

and see if we could come to terms...

...with this, and you know, find some sort of...

solution or something.

What do you mean, "claims to be your daughter's grandmother"?

Oh...

Where do I begin?

[whispering] Tom...

Detective Ryan.

Mrs. MacKenzie.

Are you in charge here?

So first I want to go look at the body,

and then I have to ask you everything you know

about Mary Robeson.

[theme music]

[tense music]

Where have you been?

I was about to call the police.

I went to see Mary Robeson.

What?

She fired Toni Fields.

So?

I thought she might be vulnerable

without her protection.

Was she?

She wasn't anything.

She was dead.

Dead?

m*rder*d. I found the body.

-Did you call the police? -Of course I called the police.

[whispering] Any reason why I shouldn't?

No. What the hell kind of question is that?

Tom Ryan is in charge of the investigation.

Why doesn't that surprise me?

-What did you tell him? -I told him what I knew.

What was I supposed to tell him?

Nothing. I mean everything.

Look, we'll deal with it.

Just like we've dealt with everything--

Just like you've dealt with everything else.

We're not fighting, Karen.

Okay? She's dead.

I'm sorry that you found her.

It's good that she's dead.

It's over.

[whispering] I hope you're right.

What were you doing with the radio?

I was going to turn on the news.

I thought they might mention something about the m*rder.

You want 10.70 for that.

[distorted voices]

...the body of a Florida woman, Mary Robeson,

was found in her Knots Landing apartment tonight...

[male reporter] The police are investigating

several leads.

Robeson, who recently moved to Knots Landing

from Tallahassee, Florida,

was found dead in her apartment last night.

The cause of death has not yet been released.

In other news,

teachers in the Bowling Green district

are once again on strike.

- The school board-- -[turns radio off]

Isn't that the woman who claims to be Meg's grandmother?

Exactly.

And poor Mack is going to be the chief suspect.

Mack? Why Mack?

He couldn't hurt a flea, let alone a human being.

You and I know that.

But do the police know that?

Mack? Mack MacKenzie?

Mr. Upstanding Citizen?

Mr. Upstanding Citizen

who has been harassing this woman

for the past month.

At least he doesn't go around demanding

that the woman be taken care of.

What, are you accusing me of m*rder?

I didn't say you k*lled her.

You think I arranged to have her k*lled?

Did you?

[chuckles]

You're not married to the Godfather, you know.

Sometimes I wonder.

You're just stressed, babe.

You're concerned that I'm having second thoughts

about this marriage because you lost the baby.

Are you?

It's too early in the morning

for those tough questions.

I'm sorry, Greg.

Hey, babe, it's going to be alright.

And how successful was your case?

We won.

The judge granted Mary visitation rights

to see Meg MacKenzie.

How'd the MacKenzies feel about that?

You'll have to ask them.

I'm asking you.

I have no proof of their feelings.

On November 12th,

didn't Mack MacKenzie come to this office

to try to argue out of going to court?

It is standard procedure between lawyers

to try to settle out of court.

But you didn't.

The MacKenzies weren't willing to reach an accommodation.

Miss Fields, why are you protecting them?

I thought Mary Robeson was your client.

Ex-client. Mary fired me.

She got what she wanted.

She had no further need of an attorney.

That doesn't mean your obligation ends,

especially during a m*rder investigation.

Mack and Karen were not happy with the decision,

but I don't believe that makes either one of them a m*rder*r.

I never said they were.

You're the one who brought that up.

Croissants with butter?

Thought you were on a diet.

Let's face it, who do we lose weight for?

Men? There's no man in my life.

So can you make me a large helping

of bacon and eggs, heavy on the grease?

Make it yourself.

And I thought we weren't going to talk about Gary.

Gary who?

Kate.

I'm going to talk to him, I promise.

Now, you could be surprised.

You could find out that he cares for you

just as much as you care for him.

Paige, the man's wife just died.

Well, I know,

but if you don't take the chance

and tell Gary how you feel about him,

then, well, you can spend the rest of your life

wondering what might have been.

Okay. Okay. I'm going to talk to him today.

-Can we change the subject? -Absolutely.

Good. Have you heard from Bill?

Can we not talk about men at all?

There's some things I need to talk to you about.

[Mack] Yeah, sure. Come on in.

-I'm going to the bus, Daddy. -I'll take you.

Hi, Meg. Do you remember me?

Meg, this is Mr. Ryan. He's a policeman.

You think maybe you and I could talk sometime

about your grandmother?

She's late for school, Tom.

-Come on, honey. -[Tom] Bye.

[Meg and Karen] Bye.

-I just wanted to try. -Yeah, I know.

It's just, she's a baby.

You're not going to make this easy for me, are you?

Do I have to answer that?

Why can't I plead the fifth?

[bus engine running]

[Gary] Okay, guys.

-I love you. -Bye.

-Bye, Mommy. -Bye, honey.

-[kid 1] Hi, Jason. -[kid 2] Com on.

[kid 3] Hi.

Uhm...

Is that Tom Ryan in there?

Yeah, he's investigating Mary Robeson's death.

Yeah, I heard about that on the radio.

He's in charge of the investigation.

Does he know everything?

What do you mean, everything?

The visitation rights.

Well, why else would he be here?

I don't know. I mean, who knows what these guys think?

Who knows what anyone thinks these days?

I feel like everyone is keeping secrets from me.

Well, it's been rough on you, on everyone.

Well...

I got to go too.

I'm interviewing housekeepers today.

Oh.

Why talk to me? You're looking for a suspect?

-Talk to Mary's brother. -And we will.

I want to talk to you about your last conversation with her.

-What conversation? -Did you go to her apartment?

Yeah, sure. To talk to her about Meg.

What did you say?

What did you say to her exactly, Mack?

Did Meg get off okay?

Yeah, she's alright.

I'll get out of your way.

[Tom] So you were telling me about your conversation

with Mary Robeson.

[Mack] What about it? There's nothing to tell.

[Tom] There's some things I need to talk to you about.

[suspenseful music]

-[Mack] What tape? -You know what tape.

I don't know what tape, Karen.

The tape I've found of you in Mary Robeson's apartment.

You found a tape of me in Mary Robeson's apartment?

This is not an Abbott and Costello routine.

When I found Mary,

I found a cassette of you saying

you wouldn't be responsible for what happened to her.

She taped my conversation?

How could you not know?

Did it sound like I knew?

It sounded like you were threatening her.

I was blowing smoke. I just wanted to get the money back.

Why didn't you tell me you were going to see her?

Why didn't you tell me you found a tape?

Because I was afraid you were going to take it from me,

and I wanted to hear it first.

-How bad is it? -I don't know.

I just heard a few seconds of you threatening her.

-And now it's gone. -I didn't take the tape.

-Tom Ryan. -He wasn't in here. He was--

-What else is on that tape? -How should I know?

You don't know what you said to her?

I don't remember.

I can't believe you took the tape from her apartment.

What else was I going to do?

Just turn it over to Tom Ryan

so he could send you to prison?

It's not enough to send me to prison.

Besides, I didn't k*ll her.

Tell it to Tom Ryan.

What?

You think I did?

No, of course I don't.

But I think you've done everything wrong.

You schemed, you've lied, you've kept things from me.

You're getting yourself into a lot of trouble,

and I just hope you can get yourself out.

I really hope you'll give me a chance, Mr. Ewing.

I think working with children

is so cool, and I could do it really, really good.

Well, I've got a few more people to talk to.

-I'll get back to you. -Thanks again.

You know, I think that this could be,

like, a really neat job.

[car engine starts]

-Who's that? -Uh...

-Housekeeper candidate. -Did she bring a jump rope?

Just a lot of energy.

I was on my way over to see you.

Yeah...

Karen told me Tom Ryan is the investigator.

Forget about Tom Ryan.

Look, Gary, I need you to do me a favor.

No, Mack. We have to tell him what we did.

Any other cop, I'd say okay,

but Tom Ryan, he'll get the wrong idea.

You know, I'm not sure I can lie to the police.

Lie. Who said anything about lying?

Just don't volunteer to talk to him.

[sighs]

-Okay. -Right.

-Thanks. -Yeah.

[emotional music]

[indistinct chattering]

[sighs]

Hi.

Hi. I thought the sports complex meeting

was tomorrow.

It is.

Oh, well, I have a meeting with Cliff.

[emotional music]

What is it?

You know, your mother lost the baby.

What happened?

She fell off a horse.

She was riding too fast.

Well, she shouldn't have been riding

in the first place.

Poor mother.

Sorry. So how are you doing?

I didn't fall off a horse.

Well, why is it that you look like you did?

It's not grief, it's age.

Look, I do have an appointment,

but why don't I take you to lunch afterwards?

Have a better idea. Why don't I take you to lunch?

Then you won't have to feel sorry for me.

Believe me, one thing I have never felt for you

is sorry.

Well, what have you felt for me?

[Tom] Excuse me.

[tense music]

Am I interrupting?

I'd like to talk to Paige.

Make an appointment.

It's official business, Paige. It's about your father.

You're investigating Mary Robeson's m*rder.

Mary Robeson? Wait a minute.

Mary Robeson was k*lled sometime yesterday.

Karen found the body,

and your father was the last person

to see her alive.

Wait a minute. Mary Robeson?

The woman who says that she was...

[Greg] Laura's mother. Exactly.

Well, I have an appointment.

And next time you want to talk to me, call first.

Is Mary Robeson your wife's natural mother?

Claims to have been, yeah.

You want to know what I was doing last night?

I already know.

Darn. I would have made an interesting suspect.

If you wanted that woman dead, Sumner,

you'd never do it yourself.

[Carlos] Here you are, Mrs. Sumner.

I hope you like chicken vegetable soup,

Mrs. Sumner.

Soup?

Carlos, I need some real food.

You think that Szechuan place delivers?

[doorbell dings]

Excuse me.

it's the Avon lady, tell her I'm home.

Miss Vanessa Hunt.

I went to the bank today,

to cash that lovely check you wrote me.

Carlos,

why don't you go to the Szechuan?

Pick it up. It'll be hotter that way.

Yes, ma'am.

You must not have heard the news.

I suffered a miscarriage yesterday.

Is that why you stopped payment on my check?

Vanessa, dear.

Let's be logical.

No pregnancy, no payment.

And your husband?

My husband knows what a miscarriage is.

But does he know that you were never pregnant,

and you faked your miscarriage?

What difference does it make?

There's no baby anymore.

That's all that matters.

I think he'll see things differently.

Would you like to deliver the news to Greg, or should I?

I don't think you have the nerve

to tell him the truth.

Really?

You know, I think you ought to find

a more creative way to scare me.

This money for silence thing is so overdone,

don't you think?

I know.

You could threaten to harm my first born child.

No, that would never work.

Paige would eat you alive.

You could burn down the house.

No,

I would just get Greg

to build me a bigger and better one.

How about--

How about I just go to your husband,

and tell him the truth?

Okay.

But you have to promise to let me watch.

I'll call ahead.

[Claudia] What are we going to do?

You didn't get the money back?

She wouldn't give it back.

[Claudia] I thought you were getting proof

that she extorted the money from you.

It didn't work out.

Didn't work out? What does that mean?

There's no proof. The money's gone.

Are you sure it isn't still in her apartment?

I'm not sure of anything.

You didn't tell the police, did you?

[Mack] Of course not.

Well, what are we going to do, Mack?

I don't know.

Claudia, I don't know.

Dammit!

Damn.

[sighs]

[knocking on door]

Right on time. Oh...

-I am? -I thought you...

I've been interviewing housekeepers.

Come in.

[sighs]

Paige told me you were going to go work for the sports complex.

I think that's great.

I didn't tell you?

No.

You were too busy.

I should have told you--

I think we should talk.

Yeah.

I think we should, too.

[Kate] And you should have told me.

Kate, I'm sorry.

No, I'm the one who's sorry.

I needed a shoulder to cry on.

And you were there.

And you know, I care about you very much.

I feel like I took advantage of you.

Gary, it's okay.

I understand, and you didn't take advantage of me.

I'm glad that I was there.

At that moment.

I mean, I'm glad I was there.

And I just want to be friends again.

[Gary sighs]

You think we could start over?

[sighing] Yeah, I'd like that.

I would too.

Thanks.

There must be something I can do to help out around here.

You'll be sorry you asked.

Well, try me.

Well, you could help me interview these housekeepers.

I don't know what the hell I'm supposed to be looking for.

[car engine rumbling]

Visit in the middle of the day? This is a treat.

Why didn't you tell me that Mary Robeson was dead?

i thought you knew.

-Why would you think that? -Everybody else knew.

Oh. Well, Tom Ryan paid me a little visit this morning.

Tom Ryan's an idiot.

Tom Ryan is a dirty cop.

He could decide that you k*lled her.

Maybe he cleaned up his act.

Well, maybe he still holds a grudge against you.

Tom Ryan is harmless. He can't do anything to me.

If you think that,

then you're a bigger idiot than he is.

Hey, Meg.

How is school?

Why all the women in my life mad at me right now?

Where is it?

Sweetie, did you have a good day at school?

I want to know where it is.

-Where what is? -My tape.

What tape?

The tape I made for show and tell.

I sang Chim Chim Cher-ee from Mary Poppins.

Oh, that tape.

But all I got was a tape of daddy yelling at nana.

Did you play it in the classroom?

Only a little bit,

but then I turned it off

because it wasn't the right tape.

Can I have the tape?

No, I want my tape first.

Meg, I need the tape of daddy and nana.

And I want my Chim Chim Cher-ee tape.

Alright, Meg, where did you leave it last?

I don't know.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

Okay, did you put it

in your pants pocket yesterday?

[Meg] I don't know.

I bet you did.

You know, you put that cookie in your pocket

and you forgot about it.

[sighs]

Here it is.

Thank you, here's your tape.

Meg.

When I ask you for something, you give it to me.

And don't you ever use that tone of voice with me again.

-Do you understand? -Yes.

Meg.

You go up to your room.

No TV tonight.

[sighs]

[Mack's voice] Alright, here's the proposition.

Why don't you give me back the $500,000 that I gave you?

[Mary's voice] Hey, what are you doing?

[Mack's voice] And you never, ever see Meg again.

[Mary's voice] You cannot buy me off.

You heartless freak.

I'll see Meg anytime I want to.

[Mack's voice] If you keep it up,

then I won't be responsible

for what I'm going to do to you.

[Mary] Are you threatening me, Mr. MacKenzie?

[Mack's voice] Yeah, I'm threatening you.

Now, where is the money?

A half a million dollars?

You gave Mary Robeson a half a million dollars?

You got the money?

What did you do with the other half a million.

Other half a million? What other half million?

Where did you find the tape?

You know, he asked me for the money.

You? You don't have a million dollars.

I didn't get a million dollars, okay?

He wanted it from the Sumner Group.

Can we hold on for just a minute here?

Where'd you get the money?

It's not important.

He didn't get it from me.

And I know you didn't get it from Greg.

What difference does it make where I got it?

I don't know what you're talking about.

How'd you do it?

Through the subsidiaries? The foundation?

[laughs]

I wouldn't give Mack anything.

I don't condone extortion.

I think you can condone anything

that gives you something in return.

Mack wanted a million dollars. You gave him half a million.

Where is the other half?

Get out of my office.

Mack couldn't have gotten it on his own.

There's a paper trail here somewhere,

and I'm going to find it, Claudia.

And then what?

You're going to fire your own father

from the company?

No. I'm going to send you to jail.

Detective Ryan.

This is Mr. Lambert, the apartment manager.

-Thanks for coming up. -No problem.

Just glad to be of service.

Great.

I understand that you witnessed a conversation

between Miss Robeson and a visitor.

No, no, no. That was no conversation.

That was a fight. That's why I come up here.

I wanted to find out what the problem was.

-What was the problem? -Beats me.

I know some crazy guy was tearing the place up

trying to find something, I don't know what.

Did you recognize this man? Was it Miss Robeson's brother?

Hell, no. No, no.

Joe left two days ago, headed for Florida.

That's where him and Mary are from,

So the other man,

the man who was fighting with Mary.

Did you happen to get a name on him?

Yep, yep. MacKenzie.

Now, the reason I remember

is that she only said Mr. MacKenzie.

Now, he called her Mary, but she said "mister".

You don't hear that many "misters" in California.

Alright.

Mr. Lambert

is this the man you saw fighting with Mary?

Hang on.

Yep.

That's him, MacKenzie.

Boy, he's mad in hell.

Acted like you wanted to k*ll somebody...

Hey, wait a minute. You don't think that maybe--

Thank you for your help, Mr. Lambert. Very helpful.

No problem.

But if you need any more help,

just call me again if you need me.

Hey Pat, have we gotten any word

on the fingerprints on that ashtray yet?

No. The Bar Association is faxing us MacKenzie's prints

for comparison.

What about Joe Robeson?

The PD says they'll keep an eye out for him.

We'll find him eventually.

One more thing.

Remember seeing any tapes around here?

Tapes that would go in this boom box?

No, Sir.

It wasn't on the evidence report either, as I recall.

Thanks. Good.

[suspenseful music]

Have you had much experience with this type of thing?

You know, with cleaning,

and looking after school-age kids.

Well, yes, of course. I was married for 30 years.

I raised three lovely children.

My husband left me recently,

for a secretary 20 years younger.

You would not believe the breasts on that woman.

They had to be artificial.

Everything's artificial these days.

Oh, you have a lovely figure, my dear.

Very perky.

But do you like kids?

[sneezes]

I think they're terrific.

[sneezes]

Really terrific.

[sneezes]

Do you have any hobbies?

I like to knit and sew and I make all my own clothes.

Do you cook?

And I'm also looking for someone to clean.

Wow. Have you ever really noticed dust?

The way it floats around you,

just drifting by?

Free, like a bird.

[blows out air] Like the waves of an ocean.

The beach is great.

The twins love the beach.

I'm so glad, I'm a great swimmer.

You know, I almost made the Swedish Olympic team,

but I decided to get my degree in education instead.

That's terrific.

So you want to be a teacher?

Yeah, kindergarten teacher.

Children that age, they are so vulnerable.

They need so much love and attention.

Well, you know, the twins just recently lost their mother.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

Then they will need even more attention.

I would read to them, and play games with them.

Take them to the park and to the zoo.

There would just be, like, a little cooking

and cleaning involved.

I don't mind.

Cleaning is exercise,

and cooking is my hobby,

Well then, you'll have to teach me

because I'm a complete disaster in the kitchen.

[giggles]

Carlos says he's going to make us a special dinner.

[Greg] Great.

I think I'll go down to the cellar,

and bring up a Grand Cru Classe.

A really expensive wine.

They're all expensive.

We have to talk, Greg.

You mean you have to talk, and I have to listen.

But you also have to look at me while I talk.

I lied to you about the miscarriage.

I lied to you about being pregnant.

I thought I was pregnant

when I went looking for you in Montana.

But then I got back here,

and I found out I wasn't.

But I wanted to marry you.

I wanted to be Mrs. Gregory Sumner.

And I thought the way to do that

was by being pregnant.

I'm sorry, I know that was wrong.

And I...

I hope you can forgive me.

[emotional music]

Well, say something, for God's sakes.

What's the big deal about being Mrs. Gregory Summer?

The status.

The money.

An honest woman. How refreshing.

And you're not bad-looking either.

And you're great in bed.

And now would you expect me to jump in the car,

and run the Torino for a quickie divorce?

If you want to.

But I think I have a better idea.

Stay married to me,

and you don't have to commit to Paige.

I know you love her.

But you don't want to marry her.

And you've had every opportunity to marry her, and you didn't.

Why?

Do you think you are too old for her?

That she'd get tired of you,

or that you'd hurt her? Why?

I'm not Paige, Greg.

I won't leave you.

I'm not vulnerable to you.

And I think this task force

is really going to take you places.

High political places.

And I want to go with you.

I'll make a great political wife.

[chuckles]

If this marriage is going to work,

you're going to have to learn to mind your own business.

One. We don't ever talk about Paige. Ever.

Two, you don't analyze me.

I won't sue you for fraud.

Three, this is a marriage of convenience.

My convenience.

Four, why don't you go down the cellar

and get a nice bottle of domestic Cabernet?

[clicking on keyboard]

[ominous music]

[computer beeping]

[ominous music]

[elevator dings]

Hey, you shouldn't be walking alone at night.

-You know that. -I'm walking to my car.

Yeah, well, I guess you can handle three muggers

and not even build up a sweat, right?

-Thanks for the compliment. -It wasn't a compliment.

What, are you deliberately provoking an argument?

Or is nastiness just a bad habit you can't shake?

Hey, Paige.

Say what you want to say, Tom,

and then leave me alone.

I'm here to talk about your father.

My father did not k*ll that woman.

Well, maybe not,

but there is evidence piling up against him,

and he's not helping me out.

Oh, gee, I wonder why.

He's his own worst enemy, Paige.

Talk to him and tell him that I am not the enemy.

I don't want to see your father go to jail

for something he didn't do.

Well, I think that you must be a pretty poor cop

if you need me to do your job for you.

Getting your father off the hook is not my job, lady.

Then why come to me?

I'm sorry, you have to ask.

[emotional music]

I guess we should start taking this stuff down, huh?

[crickets chirping]

[ominous music]

[echoing footsteps]

You said this was an emergency.

It is.

Appreciate you seeing me on such short notice.

What can I do for you, Mrs. Whittaker?

[sighs]

I really don't know where to start.

-Is there a problem? -Yes.

I discovered something unusual

in the Summer Foundation files,

a request for a million dollars

for the Pacific Preservation Society.

What does that have to do with the Robeson m*rder?

My signature is on that request.

Are you saying it was forged?

By whom?

[sighs]

A few days ago, Mack MacKenzie was in my office.

He wanted to borrow a million dollars to pay off Mary Robeson.

And you told him no.

I didn't know what to say to him.

I was so surprised by the request.

So you think he created this Pacific Preservation Society

to get a hold of that money?

He's under a lot of pressure, okay?

That woman was driving him crazy.

He would hardly show up to the meetings at the office,

and when he would, he would be distracted,

unprepared.

He's scared.

Well, you can imagine what he's feeling,

having that woman visit Meg every week.

I don't have to imagine that.

There's a logical explanation for all this. I just...

I just thought you should know.

Well, thank you, Mrs. Whittaker.

I'll look into the matter.

You've been very helpful.

[ominous music]

-[Gary] There you go. -Dad.

Dad. You put out an extra bowl.

Yeah. I asked Kate to join us. Is that alright?

Are you and Kate gonna get married?

He can't marry Kate.

He's already married to mom.

I'm not gonna marry anyone.

And honey, we've already talked about your mom.

Cindy dad's mom died,

and her dad married someone else.

And now she's got a new mother.

You don't need a new mother.

Well, we're not getting a new mother.

Kate's my friend. And she's your friend, too.

That doesn't mean

she automatically becomes your mom.

Nobody can replace your mom.

-[Kate] Anybody home? -Yeah, I'm here.

Eat up.

-Hi, guys. -Hi.

Hi.

I hope you saved some ice cream for me.

Dad put out an extra bowl.

[Kate] Thanks.

-I have a surprise for you. -What?

What is it?

I met someone who loves kids,

and she loves playing games with them,

and she loves cooking for them.

So I thought I'd bring her over here

so you guys could meet her.

I've met her too,

and I think you guys are really going to like her.

-Is she here? -Mm-hmm. I'll go get her.

Ingrid. Come on in.

Bobby, Betsy.

Mrs. Ingrid Rainer.

Ingrid, these are my children, Bobby and Betsy.

Hello, Bobby. Betsy.

I'm delighted to meet you.

-Hi. -Hi.

[doorbell dings]

Just in time for dessert.

I'm more interested in the Pacific Preservation Society.

Who told you about the Pacific Preservation Society?

What's the Pacific Preservation Society?

It's nothing.

Oh, it's the account that Mack and Claudia set up

to take the million dollars.

Half a million dollars, and I didn't take it.

I borrowed it.

Claudia, what does she have to do with this?

Claudia thought all this stuff, didn't she?

What difference does it make? The money's gone.

No, a million dollars is gone.

What happened to the other 500,000?

How should I know?

-Claudia? -[Paige] Yes, Claudia.

-She's a friend, a neighbor. -She is a shark.

She was helping me out.

Does she know about the tape?

-What tape? -Forget about the tape.

It's not important.

Mary Robeson taped Mack threatening her.

Oh, my God. Does Tom know?

We're not telling Tom.

You have to tell Tom.

What if he finds out on his own?

He's not going to find out on his own.

How do you know?

Do you think Claudia

is going to keep your little secret?

She's not going to keep quiet.

Mack, you better get yourself a lawyer.

I don't need a lawyer.

Because now...

there is no evidence.

It came in the mail late this afternoon.

It's from Mary Robeson.

I didn't know it was going to be evidence,

so I'm afraid I have my fingerprints

all over everything.

Mary wrote the letter.

She says that she's sorry that she fired me,

and asked that I resume working on her behalf.

She's scared because Mack MacKenzie

forced money on her to go away,

then threatened her when she didn't.

I played the cassette.

She recorded the conversation with Mack,

and when he threatens her.

Arrest warrant.

Arrest warrant?

MacKenzie's prints were all over the ashtray

that k*lled Mary Robeson.

I've been waiting for the warrant.

-Then this... -Icing on the cake.

[tense music]

Paige, why don't you go? There's no point in you staying.

-I want her to stay. -Why?

At least she understands how irrational you are.

I'm not irrational.

-I'm practical. -Practical?

What, you call destroying evidence practical?

Dad, I thought you were honest.

I thought you had morals.

I don't know who you are.

Get out of your soapbox, Paige.

[doorbell dings]

Who is it?

[Tom] Detective Tom Ryan, Mr. MacKenzie.

Would you open the door, please?

[tense music]

Paige, why can't the men in your life

just go away and stay away?

Yeah, Tom.

Marion Patrick MacKenzie,

I am placing you under arrest

for the m*rder of Mary Elizabeth Robeson.

[Paige] Tom. No.

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will be used

against you in a court of law.

You have the right to consult a lawyer before we talk to you.

To have him or her present while we talk to you.

If you cannot afford to hire a lawyer,

one will be appointed to represent you

before questioning,

free of charge.

Do you understand all the rights explained to you?

Do you want to talk about this case or not?

Do you want a lawyer or not?
