Darrow & Darrow: In The Key of Murder Page #4

---

WELL, THAT'S SOMETHING.

[PHONE RINGING]

[SCOTT]:

HELLO?

[CLAIRE, ON PHONE]:

SCOTT?

YES, CHIEF.

HEY, I NEED YOU

TO TRACK A...

CATHERINE HUDDLESTON.

A CATHERINE:

HUDDLESTON.

- FIND OUT EVERYTHING YOU CAN--

- TERRY YASBECK.

AND SEE ABOU HER CONNECTION

TO TERRY YASBECK

OR ANYONE ELSE:

INVOLVED IN THE CASE.

YOU GOT IT.

HERE'S SOMETHING ELSE.

YEAH?

SO PHOEBE'S ALBUM,

ALL RIGHT,

THE TRACKS,

PHOEBE'S ALBUM...

NOWHERE TO BE FOUND

AT TERRY YASBECK'S STUDIO,

AND APPARENTLY,

THIS GUY KEPT EVERYTHING,

WAS A REAL:

CONTROL FREAK, RIGHT?

HE HAD BACK-UPS

ON BACK-UPS,

AND EVERYTHING:

THEY DID:

ON THE COMPUTERS

OVER THERE,

HE DIDN'T LET GO

OF ANYTHING.

SO WHAT HAPPENED

TO THE ALBUM?

I DON'T KNOW, I...

EITHER TERRY DESTROYED IT,

WHICH MAKES NO SENSE, OR...

SOMEBODY STOLE IT.

OR SOMEONE STOLE IT.

VERY POSSIBLY:

THE SAME PERSON:

THAT KILLED TERRY.

BUT WHY WOULD:

THEY DO THAT?

IT DOESN'T...

IT'S NOT WORTH ANYTHING

TO ANYBODY BUT TERRY.

AND PHOEBE.

SHE SAYS SHE:

DIDN'T TAKE IT.

SHE ALSO SAID:

SHE DIDN'T KILL

TERRY YASBECK.

I KNOW...

I KNOW SHE DIDN'T, BUT...

IF I'M A D.A., WHICH I AM,

AND I'M THINKING LIKE A D.A.,

WHICH I AM,

SHE LOOKS GUILTY.

WELL, I'M THINKING

LIKE A DEFENSE ATTORNEY,

AND I KNOW SHE'S NOT.

THANKS FOR SAYING THAT,

AND ALSO, THANK YOU FOR...

YOU DON'T HAVE TO SAY ANYTHING.

ALL RIGHT.

AND DON'T YOU FRET.

I'M GOING TO TAKE

CARE OF THIS, OKAY?

OKAY.

OKAY.

THANK YOU, MRS. DARROW.

MM-HMM.

YOU KNOW WHAT MAKES

THIS LEMONADE CASE SO HARD?

HAVING TO WATCH A LITTLE GIRL

SOB HER EYES OUT?

WELL, YEAH, THAT,

AND HAVING:

TO ACTUALLY TASTE THE LEMONADE.

THEY SWEETEN IT WITH STEVIA.

IT'S A TERRIBLE AFTER-TASTE.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

I LIKE STEVIA.

HUH.

YOU PROBABLY LIKE CILANTRO, TOO.

YES, I DO.

WELL, TAKES ALL KINDS.

HEY, WHERE'S CLAIRE?

SHE'S WITH MILES,

MEETING WITH PHOEBE'S PRODUCER.

I... I THOUGH PHOEBE'S PRODUCER WAS DEAD.

I MEAN,

ISN'T THAT THE WHOLE PROBLEM?

THERE'S A NEW PRODUCER.

OH.

SHE HAS A NEW PRODUCER?

WELL, LUCKY GIRL.

EXCEPT FOR BEING CHARGED

WITH MURDER?

WELL, YEAH,

EXCEPT FOR THAT.

CHESTER LIME.

I WAS WONDERING:

IF TODAY WOULD BE A GOOD DAY

TO DISCUSS OUR CREATIVE

SYNERGY EXPLORATION?

[JOANNA AND RAYMOND]: NO.

OH.

OKAY.

TERRY YASBECK WAS

AN ABUSIVE JERK.

ASK ANYBODY.

EMOTIONALLY,

PHYSICALLY...

I MEAN, IF PHOEBE

KILLED HIM,

IT WAS IN SELF-DEFENSE.

SHE DIDN'T KILL HIM.

ARE YOU SAYING:

THAT THAT'S WHA YOU THINK HAPPENED?

NO, I'M NOT SAYING THAT.

I'M JUST SAYING TERRY

WAS AN ANGRY, DANGEROUS PERSON.

I MEAN, IF I SAW HIM

COMING AT PHOEBE,

AND I HAD A GUN,

I'D PROBABLY SHOOT HIM MYSELF.

DID YOU?

NO, OF COURSE NOT.

YOU SEEM AWFULLY PROTECTIVE

OF PHOEBE.

LOOK, I WOULDN'T SAY THAT.

SHE'S A VERY TALENTED SINGER,

AND I WANT TO:

PRODUCE HER ALBUM.

DID YOU SEND HER FLOWERS?

YES, I DID,

BUT JUST TO THANK HER

FOR SIGNING WITH ME.

BUT YOU DO HAVE:

A PARTICULAR REASON

FOR WANTING TO KILL

TERRY YASBECK, DON'T YOU?

YEAH, OKAY.

YOU'RE REFERRING TO LINDA.

YEAH, TERRY WAS MARRIED

TO MY EX-WIFE.

RIGHT, SO WE COULD SAY

YOU HAVE MANY REASONS

TO WANT TO KILL TERRY YASBECK,

DON'T YOU?

[CLAIRE]:
WELL, IT SEEMS LIKE

EVAN HAS MORE:

THAN A PROFESSIONAL INTERES IN YOUR SISTER.

WHY DID YOU STOP ME?

I HAD HIM:

ON THE ROPES.

WE'RE NOT IN COURT.

WE'RE NOT EVEN

TAKING DEPOSITIONS.

WE'RE JUS GATHERING FACTS.

AS A D.A.,

YOU KNOW HOW TO DO THAT.

YOU'RE RIGHT,

YOU'RE RIGHT.

YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU'RE

RIGHT, YOU'RE RIGHT.

YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE

BLIND FAITH.

IS THAT WHA YOU DO, CLAIRE?

YOU JUST HAVE:

BLIND FAITH?

ACTUALLY, JUST FAITH,

BUT YOU CAN CALL I BLIND JUSTICE.

BESIDES, NOW WE KNOW

EVAN CARLTON'S

IN LOVE WITH YOUR SISTER.

ABOUT THAT...

IF HE IS,

THEN WHY...

DIDN'T PHOEBE TELL US THAT?

MAYBE SHE DOESN'T KNOW...

OR MAYBE SHE'S PROTECTING HIM.

HEY, SCOTT,

HOW ARE YOU COMING ALONG

WITH CATHERINE HUDDLESTON?

STILL LOOKING INTO IT.

OKAY, WELL,

I'M GOING

TO GIVE YOU ANOTHER JOB

BECAUSE YOU'RE THE BES INVESTIGATOR I HAVE.

I WON'T DENY THAT,

BUT THANKS FOR THE VALIDATION.

I WANT YOU TO FIND OU WHAT CAN CAUSE A FALSE POSITIVE

ON A GUNSHOT-RESIDUE TEST.

RIGHT...

I'M ON IT.

THAT'S GOOD.

THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.

I HAVE THEM OCCASIONALLY.

YEAH, DO THAT.

I DON'T WORK FOR YOU.

NOT YET.

[CLAIRE]:

PLEASE, GUYS, OKAY?

SO NOW WE NEED TO GO TALK

TO PHOEBE'S BACK-UP SINGER

AND HER ENGINEER

TO FIND OU MORE ABOUT THAT.

I'LL BRING THE CAR ROUND.

OKAY.

HEY, CHESTER?

YOU KNOW YOUR WAY

AROUND A COMPUTER, RIGHT?

WE HAVE A CERTAIN RAPPORT.

I WANT YOU TO SEARCH

TERRY YASBECK'S COMPUTER SYSTEM

FOR THE ENTIRE WEEK

LEADING UP TO THE MURDER.

THAT'LL TAKE DAYS,

AND THE POLICE HAVE ALREADY

BEEN THROUGH IT.

ARE YOU COMPLAINING?

NO, JUST DEFINING IT.

ACTUALLY, IT SOUNDS KIND OF FUN.

GREAT, AND, CHESTER,

I WANT YOU TO BE MY SECOND

ON THIS.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY.

I JUST...

AH... MM.

SCOTT!

WHAT HAVE I TOLD YOU

ABOUT LEAVING:

YOUR LAW BOOKS:

ALL OVER MY DESK?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN,

YOUR DESK?

WE'RE SUPPOSED

TO SHARE THIS DESK.

THIS HALF IS MINE.

WELL, THEN WHY DO YOU LEAVE

YOUR DANISH ON MY HALF?

STOP BEING PETTY!

YOU'RE BEING PETTY!

THEY'RE LIKE THIS 24-7.

MAYBE WE DO NEED

TEAM-BUILDING EXERCISES.

JOURNEY OF A THOUSAND MILES

STARTS WITH A SINGLE DANISH.

NO, I DON'T HAVE

ANY OF PHOEBE'S TRACKS.

TERRY WAS VERY:

PROTECTIVE OF THEM.

HE KEPT THEM ALL

ON HIS COMPUTER.

THEY AREN'T ON ANY

OF TERRY'S COMPUTERS.

OR ON THE HARD DRIVE

AT THE RECORDING STUDIO.

OH, I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT...

YOU KNOW, UNLESS TERRY WAS GOING

TO DELETE THE WHOLE ALBUM.

[NORAH]:
WELL, I WOULDN'T PU IT PAST HIM.

HE ERASED ALL THE MUSIC

I RECORDED WITH HIM.

HE WAS JEALOUS OF MY TALENT.

THIS IS MY WIFE, NORAH.

SHE'S ALSO THE BACK-UP

SINGER ON PHOEBE'S ALBUM.

THAT'S ME,

JUST A FEW FEE FROM STARDOM,

BUT IT'S REALLY TERRIBLE

WHAT THEY'RE DOING

TO PHOEBE.

YEAH.

[JONAH]:
I HATED TO HAVE

TO TELL THE COPS WHAT I'D HEARD,

BUT I COULDN'T LIE, COULD I?

YOU COULD'VE LIED.

UH, NO, HE COULDN'T.

WELL...

BUT SHE'S DIDN'T MEAN I WHEN SHE THREATENED HIM.

THAT'S JUST SOMETHING

THAT PEOPLE SAY.

RIGHT.

[NORAH]:
I MEAN, LOOK,

IF IT HADN'T BEEN

FOR PHOEBE BEGGING HIM,

I WOULDN'T EVEN BE

HER BACK-UP SINGER.

I'D BE A WAITRESS

SOMEWHERE.

YEAH.

PHOEBE EVEN SAID

SHE'D TAKE ME WITH HER

WHEN SHE WENT TO EVAN CARLTON.

EVAN CARLTON...

DID YOU SUSPEC SOMETHING MORE...

PERSONAL...

IN PHOEBE'S RELATIONSHIP

WITH EVAN?

I NEVER THOUGHT SO.

[NORAH]:

SHE COULD DO WORSE,

BUT NO,

I NEVER HEARD ANYTHING.

WELL...

YEAH.

- THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

- YEAH.

[NORAH]:
YOU UNDERSTAND,

PHOEBE'S A FRIEND.

I WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR HER.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

THAT'S NICE TO HEAR.

WHAT I MEAN IS,

IF YOU WANTED ME TO TESTIFY

THAT PHOEBE WAS WITH ME

THAT NIGHT,

I'D BE HAPPY TO.

WERE YOU WITH:

HER THAT NIGHT?

WELL, NO.

OKAY, WELL, WE COULDN'T ASK YOU

TO LIE TO PROTECT PHOEBE.

BECAUSE THA WOULD BE PERJURY.

RIGHT.

I SEE.

WELL, THERE'S GOT TO BE

SOMETHING WE CAN DO
