00:00Once upon a time, there were three little girls who went to the police academy.
00:06Two in Los Angeles.
00:13The other in San Francisco.
00:16And they were each assigned very hazardous duties.
00:22But I took them away from all that.
00:25And now they work for me.
00:27My name is Charlie.
01:27Hi, Miss Eve.
01:46Good evening, Amy. Working a little late tonight, aren't you?
01:49Yes, Miss Ingrid asked me to polish the equipment before I went home.
01:53And I'll bet you had plans to sneak out on a date.
01:56Really? Well, that's okay. I don't mind, though.
01:58It's kind of fun working for the most famous spa in the world.
02:01Even if it is for women only.
02:03Remember what some famous coach once said.
02:06Men aren't everything.
02:09They're the only thing.
02:11Would you like me to stay, Miss Eve?
02:13Heavens no, child. Just give us a light.
02:16Sure.
02:22Be careful of that first step, Miss Eve.
02:24It's awful slippery.
02:26Look, I know how to get into a spa.
02:28You just go have a good time with your boyfriend.
02:32Thanks, Miss Eve. You have a nice evening.
02:35And I'll turn the spa on when I go out.
02:54Wee-wee-wee-wee-wee-wee-wee.
03:02Amy?
03:04Turn the lights back on.
03:08Good Lord.
03:15Amy?
03:18Who's there?
03:21Help!
03:34Well, the police report concluded that it was an accident.
03:37The wires were old.
03:39A couple of them got crossed, and it short-circuited.
03:42Yes. People are killed every day in this country
03:45by the lethal combination of water and electricity.
03:48But not an actress as famous as Eve Ledoux.
03:51If it was an accident, there's gonna be one heck of a lawsuit.
03:54Charlie, I get the feeling that you think it might not have been an accident. Am I right?
03:58I believe your guest is better equipped to answer that. Eve?
04:02Oh, couldn't you tell them, Mr. Townsend?
04:04Not half as well as you, my dear. Go ahead.
04:08My name is Eve Perkins.
04:10Oh, I told you that, didn't I?
04:13Eve, you don't have to be nervous. We're here to help you.
04:17Perhaps the young lady could tell her story better without so much chit-chat.
04:22Eve Ledoux was my aunt.
04:25She was something of a legend in our family. I was named for her.
04:29Are you an actress?
04:31Me? Oh, no. I work back home in the library in Lima, Ohio.
04:35The farthest I've ever been is Pittsburgh, when I went to see my aunt in Macbeth.
04:39That was the only time I saw her on stage.
04:42It was a wonderful, magical evening.
04:45You've come a long way from Ohio now, Eve. What brought you here?
04:49I'm certain my aunt was murdered. I know it.
04:53What makes you so sure?
04:55Because I know my aunt.
04:57We always corresponded, even when she was the most famous actress on Broadway.
05:01She was not careless. She didn't make mistakes.
05:05To err is human, Shakespeare said.
05:08I believe that was Alexander Pope, Mr. Bosley.
05:11But it doesn't apply to my aunt.
05:13Besides, her manuscript was missing.
05:16She was writing her memoirs at the spa,
05:19and when they returned her personal effects, it wasn't there.
05:22Bosley, tell them about Amy O'Toole.
05:25Oh, well, Amy was the last person to see Eve Ledoux alive.
05:29She was the young girl that was in charge of the exercise room.
05:32And then after the accident, or murder, she just disappeared.
05:37Now that's beginning to sound a little fishy.
05:41Oh, I wanted to go to springtime myself to look into my aunt's death,
05:46but I couldn't imagine myself in a place like that.
05:50I wouldn't know how to act.
05:52Charlie, you don't mean to say that we are going to be wallowing in all that luxury?
05:57I don't believe wallow is quite the word, Chris.
06:00You're going to work there as an exercise instructor.
06:02What about me, Charlie?
06:04You'll take your expertise into the diet kitchen, Sabrina.
06:08Nothing like a 30-calorie chocolate mousse to raise morale.
06:12Ah, a galley slave.
06:14How about Kelly?
06:16Somebody has to be a guest.
06:18Teacher's pet.
06:20I'll wait, do you?
06:21What about me, Charlie?
06:23It's a woman's world, Bosley. No men allowed.
06:26Now, if you can find this Amy O'Toole,
06:28it will take a certain amount of ingenuity just to let the girls know.
06:32Any questions?
06:34Yes, Charlie, the matter of the fee.
06:37Oh, I can pay. I brought my savings.
06:40Don't worry about it, Bosley. This one's on me.
06:43Did I tell you that I was once on the stage with Eve Ledoux?
06:47Charlie, you were an actor?
06:49Oh, come on, Charlie.
06:51I'll see if I can't find a photograph of my performance.
06:54Goodbye, angels.
06:56Bye, Charlie.
07:04Bye, Charlie.
07:34Hello.
07:36I'm Ingrid Nyberg, managing director.
07:38How do you do? I'm Sabrina Duncan. This is Chris Van Roper.
07:41I know who you are.
07:43Come to my office, please.
07:49I'm afraid you've been misinformed.
07:51It wasn't my idea you should come here.
07:53Please close that door.
07:55Oh.
07:59I'm sorry.
08:01I don't understand. Charlie said everything was arranged.
08:04Mr. Townsend talked to the owners, and they agreed.
08:07I didn't.
08:09Well, I guess you're stuck with us, then.
08:11I couldn't have said it better myself.
08:13Why don't you want us here?
08:15I should think it would be obvious.
08:17What happened to Miss Eve was an accident,
08:20and that's bad enough in itself.
08:22And I don't like private investigators trying to turn it into something far worse.
08:27Well, we'll be honest.
08:29Well, that is, unless you tell them.
08:31Why should I do that?
08:33I'm sorry.
08:35I'm the one who built springtime into the most successful spa in the country.
08:39If you're so convinced that Eve's death was an accident,
08:43what do you suppose happened to those memoirs?
08:46There was nothing like that here.
08:48All of her personal property was returned to her family.
08:51Are there any more questions?
08:53Uh, no, but, uh,
08:56Are there any more questions?
08:58Uh, no, but, then again, we're just starting.
09:01You'll find your quarters in the building behind this one.
09:04Put on your uniforms.
09:06There'll be an orientation meeting in a few minutes.
09:09Yes, ma'am.
09:19Think we can trust her?
09:21What if she blows our cover?
09:23Open your eye on the door.
09:25Ooh. Huh?
09:27The rules for new workers here at springtime are posted in your quarters.
09:31You'll read them, you'll learn them by heart,
09:34and you will engrave them in your mind and live by them.
09:36Uh, Miss Nyberg?
09:38Rule one, you will call me Miss Ingrid.
09:41Everyone at springtime is known only by their first name.
09:44Is that clear?
09:46Yes, Miss Ingrid.
09:47Rule two, you will cater to your guests' every wish.
09:50You'll be more than servants. You will become their slaves.
09:53You'll make their stay at springtime the most memorable experience of their lives.
09:57Until they get their bill, at which time,
09:59that will become the most memorable experience of their lives.
10:04Ladies, this is Miss Norma Powers.
10:07No doubt you've heard of the great actress.
10:09She has starred in more Broadway successes than anyone in history.
10:12And she knows when she's being conned, and it won't wash, Miss Ingrid.
10:17However, I'm bored.
10:19And heckling you is more fun than an herbal wrap or a sunflower souffle.
10:25I neglected to mention,
10:27Miss Norma is also our resident wit and our most constructive critic.
10:32She has been here for three months, and so we know that she really loves us.
10:36Look at me, girls.
10:38Actually, I am a 34-year-old high jumper.
10:42Norma, please.
10:44I am trying to carry on an orientation.
10:47You giving them that stuff about fight the flab?
10:50No. I was about to.
10:55That is the enemy here.
10:57You're regarded as you would a social disease.
10:59Yeah, well, I can't stand any more of this.
11:01I'll go curdle the yogurt or something.
11:04Try to have a good time here, girls.
11:07In spite of the Iron Maven.
11:10All right, ladies, you know your duties. Go to your stations.
11:14Well?
11:16Well, the sooner we solve it, the sooner we escape.
11:19Mm-hmm.
11:21I think I'm gonna go check out the murder scene.
11:23Spooky. Be careful, okay?
11:25I don't think I'm gonna be taking any baths.
11:27No. See you later.
11:43Oh, shit.
12:13Oh!
12:15Oh, you scared me.
12:17What are you doing in here?
12:19I'm Chris Monroe. I'm a new employee here.
12:21Who are you?
12:23I'm Zara. I'm the physical therapist here.
12:25This is my office.
12:27I'm here to talk to you.
12:29I'm here to talk to you.
12:31I'm here to talk to you.
12:33I'm here to talk to you.
12:35I'm here to talk to you.
12:37I'm here to talk to you.
12:39I'm here to talk to you.
12:41I'm Zara. I'm the physical therapist here.
12:43This happens to be my territory,
12:45and you keep out of it.
12:47Why?
12:49I just told you why.
12:51Look, I was just looking around.
12:53I like to stay in shape, and this looked like the place to do it.
12:55Oh, there's nothing wrong with your shape, honey,
12:57and the door to this building was locked.
12:59It was open.
13:01I'll see you later.
13:03I tell you when you can come in
13:05and when you go out.
13:07Look, lady, I don't work for you.
13:09Don't move me.
13:15A pretty little neck.
13:17I bet it would break easy.
13:31Ready?
13:33Five, six.
13:35Five, six, seven, eight.
13:37Left, two, right, two.
13:39Left, two, right, two.
13:41Left, two, right, two.
13:43Left, two, stretch.
13:45Two, three, four,
13:47five, six, seven, and
13:49back, two, three, four,
13:51five, six, seven.
13:53Good, okay.
13:55Now we're only moving from the waist up.
13:57One, two, three, four.
13:59One, two, and three,
14:01and four, and
14:03let it flow.
14:05One, two, three, four,
14:07five, six.
14:09Good. Now the hips.
14:11Two.
14:31Oh, I'm sorry. Excuse me.
14:33Where are you going?
14:35Well, I was going to check with the new arrival.
14:37Why?
14:39Well, because I'm the new dietician,
14:41and I was going to see if she had any special requirements.
14:43I see. Well, I'm about to examine her now,
14:45so would you come back some other time, please?
14:47Sure.
14:49Thank you.
15:03Hello.
15:05I'm Dr. Slavin, the staff physician.
15:07Won't you come in?
15:09Thank you.
15:11What can I do for you, Doctor?
15:13Well, I pay a little visit to all of our new guests
15:15here at springtime.
15:17Oh, that's very nice.
15:19But what for?
15:21It's part of our procedure to give everyone a physical
15:23before she begins our exercise program.
15:25Is that all right with you?
15:27Yes.
15:29Well, I'm sure you'll like it.
15:31Well, I guess so, yeah.
15:33May I sit down?
15:35Oh, sure.
15:41Would you like a brandy?
15:43No, thank you,
15:45and I much prefer you didn't either.
15:47Alcohol is a depressant.
15:49Besides, it might affect your heartbeat.
15:51My heart could use a little jazzing up
15:53after the last few months.
15:55Nevertheless, I must insist
15:57no liquor of any kind is allowed here.
15:59Even your luggage will be taken away from you.
16:01We provide everything you need.
16:03You make it sound like
16:05some kind of prison or sanitarium or something.
16:07If you choose to look at it that way.
16:09Actually, everything that's done is for your own good.
16:11Well, this is my first visit.
16:13Maybe you better tell me about it.
16:19You're very beautiful.
16:21Why are you here?
16:25That's a funny question.
16:27When I drove in,
16:29I saw all kinds of attractive women.
16:31I suppose they want to go on being attractive.
16:33Mm-hmm.
16:35But why you?
16:37For one thing, I just went through
16:39with a very painful divorce.
16:41I see.
16:43You'll soon be going back on the market.
16:45That's very blunt, Doctor.
16:47I'm sorry, but I have seen
16:49so many of our guests
16:51hurt by men.
16:53And I believe
16:55in treating the whole person.
16:59Well, the truth is,
17:01I'm just exhausted.
17:03If I don't see another man for a month,
17:05I'd be ecstatic.
17:07All I want here is R&R.
17:09You know,
17:11if you're feeling a bit depleted,
17:13I might be able to help.
17:15We have a program here involving
17:17hypnosis, hypnotherapy.
17:19Does that frighten you?
17:23No. It interests me.
17:25Good, good.
17:27Tonight,
17:29after dinner,
17:31would you open your blouse,
17:33please?
17:39Now it won't be so cold.
17:53Ladies, some carrots?
17:55Carrots?
17:57It's a carrot.
17:59What you got there?
18:01Hors d'oeuvres.
18:03My grandfather lived to be 94.
18:05He never ate anything a rabbit would eat.
18:07Listen, I figured as long as I was out and around,
18:09I would go by Miss Nyberg's office,
18:11and if she's not there,
18:13I'll do a little checking.
18:15Maybe find Edeladoo's file?
18:17Yep, if it's...
18:19I don't know.
18:21Edeladoo's file?
18:23Yep, if it's still around.
18:25You sure you don't want a carrot?
18:27Carrots? Absolutely certain.
18:29All right, if you're positive.
18:51Miss Ingrid?
19:15Miss Ingrid?
19:17Miss Ingrid?
19:21Miss Ingrid?
19:23music plays
19:495, 6, 7, 8
19:51Hip right, left,
19:53right, left.
19:55Let it go.
19:571, 2, 3, 4, 5,
19:596, 7, 8
20:01Boogie. Let it all go.
20:03That's right. Make it feel good.
20:05Other side. Good.
20:07Let's see it. Right.
20:09Shake it out.
20:11Now stretch.
20:13Deep breath.
20:15And relax.
20:17Thank you, ladies.
20:19Oh,
20:21may I speak to you?
20:29I used to move like that.
20:31About a hundred years ago.
20:33Oh, I bet
20:35you've still got a few moves left.
20:37That's a very nice thing for you to say.
20:39What do you want to talk to me about?
20:41I get my exercise
20:43watching other people get theirs.
20:45Why don't we go over to the pool?
20:47And my pectorals.
20:49Okay. Would you like me to push?
20:51I've been pampered all my life, and I love it.
20:53Naomi, push!
20:55Okay.
21:03I know who you are.
21:05Oh? Who am I?
21:07Private detective
21:09in the Townsend agency.
21:13Who told you?
21:15Our Amazonian
21:17directoress, Mrs.
21:19Ingrid.
21:21That's a little strange.
21:23I didn't think you guys were exactly best friends.
21:25There's a cobra
21:27love among us.
21:29No, she told me because
21:31she was afraid not to.
21:33Are you sure
21:35you're in the theater and not the mafia?
21:37You don't
21:39miss much.
21:41Come to think of it, my dear, what else is there for me to do?
21:45Well, you're right.
21:47We're here investigating the death of Eve Ledoux.
21:49I know.
21:51But I don't think you're going to get
21:53very much help here.
21:55Does that include you?
21:57We're talking about one of my
21:59dearest friends.
22:01About a woman I knew for 30 years.
22:03Worked with.
22:05Through the sad and the sweet times.
22:07We worked and we fought.
22:09And we made up.
22:11And it's
22:13very hard for me to
22:15believe that she's gone.
22:17I'm sorry.
22:19It must
22:21be awful to lose a close friend like that.
22:23They're
22:25marvelous memories. She was
22:27Eve Ledoux.
22:29Who could replace her?
22:35What do you think happened to her?
22:37Oh, I don't think I know.
22:39She was murdered.
22:41Why do you think so?
22:43Because I spent my lifetime
22:45in the theater.
22:47Because I played women like Eve.
22:49And I know they don't stumble
22:51into death.
22:53They're dragged into it.
22:55Kicking and screaming.
22:59Just the way I will be.
23:01I bet you will, too.
23:07Yes, Ingrid?
23:09What is it, Zora?
23:11I just saw that new dietician
23:13come out of your office.
23:15So? Maybe she was looking for me.
23:17Maybe. But she had locked the door from the inside.
23:19Thank you, Zora.
23:21I thought you'd want to know.
23:23♪
23:33♪
23:43♪
23:53Springtime's bar, Miss Ingrid.
23:55Oh, hello, Miss Kniper.
23:57This is John Bosley of the Charles Townsend Agency.
23:59I wonder if you could get a message
24:01to Serena Duncan.
24:03I suppose so.
24:05Would you ever please call me
24:07at this number, 555-7263?
24:09It's very important.
24:11I'll wait for a call.
24:13Very well.
24:15♪
24:35Hello. Hello.
24:37Oh, boy, you know who you are.
24:39I didn't think they allowed employees in here.
24:41Are you kidding?
24:43I can't let anybody come in here who's crazy enough to.
24:45I think this is a terrific place to meet.
24:47It's hot in here.
24:49Look, everybody knows what everybody else
24:51is doing around here.
24:53Yeah, I know. I got the same feeling.
24:55So I looked around. Not only is my room bogged,
24:57but there's a peephole in there.
24:59I'd dress in the closet if I were you.
25:01Sounds like a blackmail operation.
25:03Anybody heard from Bosley?
25:05No, there's no phone in my room.
25:07Phones are an intrusion, they say.
25:09Well, I checked out the exercise room.
25:11What'd you find out?
25:13Well, I ran into our physical therapist, Zora.
25:15She caught me.
25:17She's a frightening lady.
25:19I think we better keep our eye on her,
25:21definitely from a distance.
25:23Yeah, I got something, too.
25:25You know, when I went into Ingrid's office,
25:27there is still a file on Eve Ledoux,
25:29and there's a memo from her publisher in it.
25:31So that means that Ingrid did know about the memoirs,
25:33and they probably were here.
25:35I think we ought to keep looking for them.
25:37I think I'll check out her old cottage.
25:39I mean, maybe she hid them somewhere.
25:41Good idea.
25:43Well, if that's everything, I'm gonna get out of here.
25:45Oh, what a good idea.
25:47You coming?
25:49No, I'm gonna stay. I like being part of the room.
25:51You're crazy.
25:53See you later.
25:57Something odd happened.
25:59What?
26:01I was examined by Dr. Slavin.
26:03Yeah?
26:05She wanted me to take some kind of hypnotic therapy.
26:07The only way she'll put me under is with a club.
26:09Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of.
26:37Hey!
26:39Open up!
26:41What's going on?
26:43Open the door!
26:47Open the door!
27:07Oh!
27:21Look, I'll find you after dinner
27:23and let you know how the session with Dr. Slavin came out.
27:25Okay.
27:27What time is it?
27:29I forgot my watch.
27:31Oh, I'll see you later.
27:37Chris?
27:59Oh, Chris.
28:01Come on. Are you all right?
28:03Oh, my gloves.
28:05Just sit down.
28:11Oh.
28:13You know, I really came back for my watch.
28:15I certainly didn't expect to find this.
28:17Surprise.
28:21Just stay still until your body temperature comes down, okay?
28:25Do you have any idea who it was?
28:27Well, I saw the picture,
28:29but I don't know who it was.
28:31Do you have any idea who it was?
28:33Well, I saw that Zora creeping out of here like a bandit.
28:37I told you we had to keep our eye on her.
28:41We'll get you a cold shower when you're ready,
28:43but not in here.
28:45Oh.
28:47Are you okay?
28:49I'll be okay.
28:51Yes?
28:53Hello. My name is John Bosley.
28:55I'm here to see Sabrina Duncan.
28:57She's a dietician here.
28:59No men allowed.
29:01Oh, I know, but this is important.
29:03Well, you'll have to call Miss Ingrid.
29:05I know. I already have.
29:07I've done everything but throw rocks over the wall.
29:09Well, I've got my orders.
29:11Yeah, well, uh, she'll be here in a minute.
29:13Okay.
29:15I've done everything but throw rocks over the wall.
29:17Well, I've got my orders.
29:19Yeah, well, uh, she's an employee here,
29:21not a convict!
29:45I must say,
29:47of all the spas I've been to,
29:49this is the very first
29:51where the employees dine with the guests.
29:53I-I like it.
29:55All of our girls are in excellent shape,
29:57as you can see.
29:59The ideas, they serve as a great inspiration at mealtime.
30:01It also lends a certain specious democracy
30:03to the goings-on around here.
30:05If you choose to look at it that way.
30:07Uh, excuse me, Miss Ingrid,
30:09there's a gentleman over there
30:11who wants to talk to you.
30:13Uh, excuse me, Miss Ingrid,
30:15this is my special salad, if you'd like to try it.
30:17It has sesame, sunflower seeds,
30:19walnuts, and my very special
30:21lemon dressing.
30:23It's very acceptable.
30:25Wonderful. I'd like to try it.
30:27Certainly.
30:29Unfortunately, my salad days are long since gone.
30:31This'll probably put hair on your chest.
30:33Oh.
30:35If having hair on your chest is desirable.
30:37You may serve it. Thank you very much.
30:39Did someone bring a flashlight?
30:41As I was saying,
30:43about sex.
30:47Someone do something!
30:49Ah.
30:51I'm sorry, ladies,
30:53I'll have it fixed in a minute.
30:55What are you doing here?
30:57Electric company, ma'am.
30:59We've got outages all over the area.
31:01But if you'll show me your fuse box,
31:03I'll guarantee you that it won't affect you.
31:05Uh, Miss Ingrid,
31:07I'd be happy to show them.
31:09Well, all right, but hurry.
31:11We don't allow men on the premises.
31:13No, I wouldn't, either.
31:15Uh, if you'll follow me, please.
31:17This way.
31:19Come on.
31:35Yeah?
31:37This place is really hard to get into.
31:39Okay, look, here's the key to my room.
31:41Now, let's be sure that you stay in.
31:43What have you got?
31:45Well, I found the girl who was in charge of the exercise room
31:47when Eve was killed.
31:49Amy O'Toole?
31:51Yeah, she was hiding at her sister's down on Long Beach.
31:53What, did she witness the murder?
31:55Not exactly, but she saw the murderer.
31:57Who was it?
31:59She knows it was a woman,
32:01because she saw her running away from the scene,
32:03but it was so dark she couldn't identify her.
32:05Bosley, did you sneak all the way in here to tell me that?
32:07No, I came to tell you the reason Amy split right after
32:09is because she was paid to,
32:11and she was threatened if she didn't.
32:13Who?
32:15Uh, Stafford. Do you know her?
32:17Mm-hmm. She locked Chris in the sauna.
32:19Kelly got her out. She's okay.
32:21Well, the interesting thing is that this Zora
32:23gave her $5,000.
32:25$5,000?
32:27That's a lot of bribe for a physical therapist.
32:29Yeah, but not for a murderer of means.
32:35You know, one of my
32:37leftover husbands, I think it was number three,
32:39decided to make a list
32:41of my idiosyncrasies.
32:43And later,
32:45a most unkind biographer said that it covered
32:47three and a half pages of legal-sized tablets.
32:49At any rate,
32:51under the general subdivision
32:53of perversions,
32:55my mate said I was a foot fetishist.
32:57Now, that is a filthy lie.
32:59I am fascinated by feet.
33:01I think they're the key
33:03to a person's character.
33:05That, uh,
33:07electric company employee
33:09who was here, for instance.
33:11Anybody else notice
33:13that he was wearing very expensive loafers?
33:17What is that supposed to mean?
33:19No, I didn't think you noticed.
33:21Well, maybe he's the supervisor.
33:25Maybe I'm the queen of Babylon.
33:29Kelly,
33:31don't forget to come along to my office after dinner.
33:33That is, if you're still interested
33:35in hypnotherapy.
33:37Oh, well, as a matter of fact, I'll come right now.
33:39I'm not hungry.
33:41Will you excuse me?
33:43Of course.
33:47Think of your body
33:49as very heavy.
33:51Breathe deeply
33:53and slowly.
33:57Out. That's it.
33:59In.
34:01Out.
34:03Yes.
34:05Now you are giving yourself to me.
34:09Trust me.
34:13Your eyelids
34:15are getting heavy.
34:17Very heavy.
34:21You feel relaxed
34:25and peaceful.
34:29You are going to sleep.
34:39But you will be able
34:41to hear everything I say.
34:45You will tell me about yourself,
34:47Kelly.
34:49All about yourself.
34:51All about Kelly.
34:53And you will conceal
34:55nothing.
34:57Slaven's got another pigeon
34:59in there right now.
35:01With all the trouble
35:03going around here, we figure we might as well
35:05score as much as we can.
35:07What are you going to do?
35:09Slaven and me?
35:11Uh-huh.
35:13Take off for Brazil or Mexico?
35:15We got quite a stash.
35:17Ha-ha.
35:19I know that.
35:21Having contributed lavishly
35:23to it myself.
35:25I bet you'll be glad to see us go.
35:27I'm sure
35:29you'll let me know where to send the checks.
35:31Ow!
35:33Please, try to be
35:35a little more gentle.
35:37You're a better blackmailer
35:39than you are a masseuse.
35:41Listen, honey.
35:43If you hadn't killed that
35:45old ham, Slaven and me would have
35:47made a fortune here. It was you who brought
35:49all the heat.
35:51Eve Ledoux was not a ham.
35:53She was a great actress.
35:57Not as great as she thought she was.
35:59How come?
36:01She was your buddy, and then you go kill her like that.
36:05If I hadn't been out for a little walk that night,
36:07you might have got away with it.
36:09You know that lovely little blonde,
36:11Chris,
36:13the dance instructor's?
36:15Yeah, I've seen her.
36:17She's real nosy.
36:19Well, of course she's nosy. She's a detective.
36:21Help me up.
36:25Are you sure?
36:27How do you know?
36:29She's here
36:31looking for Eve's manuscript.
36:33Dear Eve's memoirs.
36:35Poor Eve. She didn't have the brains
36:37God gave an ostrich. Her manager
36:39ran her whole career. Anyhow,
36:41she was dumb enough or vain
36:43enough or vicious enough to show me
36:45that manuscript.
36:47And there are some
36:49hideous things in there
36:51about me.
36:53What do you care about a bunch of lies?
36:55They're not lies. They're true.
36:57Well, at your age, what do you care?
36:59At my age?
37:01What else have I got to care about?
37:03Well, it's none of my business anyway.
37:05You gotta find it, Zora.
37:07Eve hid it,
37:09and I've looked everywhere.
37:11It's none of my business.
37:13If somebody else finds it, it'll lead to me,
37:15and if it leads to me, it'll lead to you.
37:17And that should be simple enough
37:19even for a muscle-bound nitwit
37:21to understand.
37:23Or maybe I'll just
37:25wring your chicken neck.
37:27I'm sure you threaten that quite often, but you won't do it.
37:29How do you know?
37:31Because, my dear Zora,
37:33outside Moliere, you're the greediest character
37:35I've ever met.
37:37And I'll give you
37:39$50,000 to find the manuscript.
37:45I'll get your wheelchair.
37:47Now, Kelly, tell me
37:49about the married men in your life.
37:53There are many.
37:55Rich, powerful men?
37:57Yes,
37:59some.
38:01Has this led to problems
38:03for you?
38:05Yes.
38:07Paul.
38:09Paul's wife.
38:11What happened?
38:13You can tell me.
38:17She had a gun.
38:19It was terrible.
38:21Paul who?
38:23What was his name?
38:25She shot him.
38:29No one knew.
38:31She said it was an accident.
38:33What was this man's name?
38:35You must tell me.
38:37Give me his name.
38:41I loved him so much.
38:45So much.
38:47Kelly, breathe deeply and slowly.
38:49Very deeply.
38:51Very slowly.
38:53Relax completely.
38:55And Paul's name
38:57will come to you.
38:59I want his full name
39:01and every detail
39:03of everything that happened,
39:05Kelly.
39:07Breathe deeply and slowly.
39:13Paul's name
39:15and give me all
39:17the details.
39:19Focus on Paul
39:21and what happened
39:23and Paul's name.
39:25I'm going to give you
39:27an injection, Kelly.
39:29It won't hurt.
39:31Just a little pinprick.
39:33And it will help you to remember.
39:37Breathe deeply and slowly.
39:41Very relaxed.
39:43And everything
39:45will come back to you.
39:49Breathe deeply and slowly.
39:57I don't think so, doctor.
40:07You weren't under.
40:09I couldn't afford to be.
40:11What do you mean?
40:13What I mean is
40:15it's all over.
40:17I know exactly what you're doing.
40:19Come on.
40:21Not what the doctor ordered, is it?
40:37What is it, Dr. Slavin?
40:39Sodium pentothal?
40:41Yes, truth serum.
40:43I was merely going to ask her
40:45for therapy.
40:47You already had me hypnotized,
40:49or at least you thought you did.
40:51Why the syringe?
40:53You were not responding.
40:55I had to go deeper into your subconscious.
40:57You've got enough in here to kill her, doctor.
40:59Here we go.
41:01I'm still running.
41:03Another therapeutic tool, that's all.
41:05It's my way of keeping notes.
41:07And I say we tear this place apart.
41:09We're going to find a lot more of these.
41:11We put those together with the names
41:13She's over at the Ledoux cottage
41:15looking for the manuscript.
41:17If she gets lucky and she finds it,
41:19we may be able to wrap this up tonight.
41:43♪♪
41:53♪♪

42:13♪♪
42:23♪♪
42:33♪♪

42:53♪♪
43:03♪♪
43:17Here we have the well-known little black book.
43:21The name of the payees
43:23and the amounts they paid.
43:25Hmm.
43:27Zoran, you're right, Dr. Slavin.
43:29Which one of you killed Eve Ledoux?
43:32Neither of us.
43:34Oh, come on, Dr. Slavin.
43:35You were blackmailing her
43:36and she began to give you trouble.
43:37Isn't that how it happened?
43:38No, it isn't.
43:40Hey, wait a minute.
43:42You know, Eve's name is not on this list.
43:45Maybe she's telling the truth.
43:47Who then?
43:51You'd never believe me.
43:55Honey, the rich broads that come around here
43:57pay a lot of money for an herbal wrap.
43:59You're getting it for free.
44:01Please, I can't breathe.
44:03It's gonna get harder and harder
44:05unless you start answering better.
44:07What were you doing in Eve's room?
44:10I told you.
44:12I'm a fan.
44:13I was just looking for mementos.
44:15Oh, come now.
44:16Mementos, really?
44:19What did you do with the manuscript?
44:21I don't know what you're talking about.
44:24Can I tell you anything?
44:26When I take one of these
44:27and put it over her face, end it.
44:29In good time, all in good time.
44:34Is this the way you want it?
44:40Let's try the jam.
44:46Once we finish with it,
44:48I'll go take another look in Eve's room.
44:50I'm sure she hid it in there somewhere.
44:52I'll do it here,
44:53then drop her in the swimming pool.
44:55Look like she drowned skinny dipping.
44:58Farting is such sweet sorrow.
45:00But I should say good night and all that stuff.
45:03Romeo and what's-her-name, act two, scene two.
45:07You're committing murder.
45:11I already have.
45:23You can get the death penalty for this.
45:26I've been a few years in the slammer,
45:28but I don't, sweetheart.
45:29And I don't call that living.
45:31I know.
45:32I've been there.
45:35Don't struggle. It'll be easier.
45:38This one should do it.
45:40Please.
45:41Back off.
45:45Norma can't leave.
45:47She went out the back.
45:48Out the back.
45:49We'll find her.
45:50Okay.
45:53Name's John Bosley.
45:57Bosley.
46:05You're killing him.
46:10Norma!
46:18Okay.
46:19Whoa, whoa, Norma.
46:21Come on.
46:22You're just full of surprises, aren't you?
46:26It's all over, Norma.
46:29It's all right. Come on.
46:30Everything's okay. Come on.
46:48Did anyone find out why Norma Powers
46:50has spent years in a wheelchair
46:52when she didn't need it?
46:54Well, she said she sprained her ankle
46:56while she was doing Bly Spirit,
46:57so she played it in a wheelchair.
46:59She loved the attention.
47:00Does that make sense to anyone?
47:02Well, being an ex-actor yourself, Charlie,
47:04you know they are not indifferent to attention.
47:08Hi, everybody.
47:09I brought you a surprise.
47:10Ah-ha!
47:11Strawberry cheesecake from Delmonico's.
47:13No.
47:15Eve Perkins, formerly of Lima, Ohio.
47:18Hey.
47:19Ooh, look at you.
47:21Oh, my goodness. You look great.
47:23Thank you.
47:24Kelly did it all.
47:25I feel like I've just come out of a cocoon.
47:27Eve's decided to stay on here.
47:29She has a whole new career, right?
47:31Oh, yeah? What you gonna be doing?
47:32I have a job at the downtown public library.
47:34I couldn't look dowdy for that.
47:36Well, congratulations.
47:38Oh, I have a surprise for you.
47:41I found it when I was going through my aunt's things,
47:43and it's a picture of Mr. Townsend
47:45when he was appearing on stage with her.
47:47You're kidding.
47:48We're gonna get to see Charlie.
47:49No, no, no, you can't.
47:50You mustn't.
47:53Bosley, Bosley.
47:56Oh, grief.
47:58That was the high point of my career, angels.
48:01The part of bottom in Midsummer Night's Dream.
48:04Well, I can see why you opened the Townsend Detective Agency.
48:08Bosley, you're strangely silent.
48:10Yes, well, anything I said would cost me my job.
48:16Oh, Charlie.
48:22Oh, Charlie.
48:52Oh, Charlie.
