Mystery Woman: Game Time Page #3

- BEST GUESS... POISON,

SO YOU'LL HAVE TO WAI FOR THE TOXICOLOGY TESTS.

I NEED THOSE:

QUICK AS YOU CAN.

THE FINGERPRINTS AND ALL THE

REST OF THE FORENSIC DATA

A.S.A.P., PLEASE.

POISON, HMM.

HE'S GOING WITH US.

LET'S GO.

ON YOUR FEET, SIR.

LET'S GO.

Connors:
SO, THE LAST TIME YOU SAW

HIM ALIVE WAS AT THE BOOKSTORE.

YEAH, IT WAS AT THE BOOK SIGNING.

I WAS GETTING HIM SOME TEA.

SO THAT'S WHEN

I TURNED AWAY FROM HIM

AND I WENT TO PICK UP THE TRAY

THAT JODY FISKE SPILLED.

THE EX-MRS. FISKE

DROPPED A TRAY?

HORS D'OEUVRES.

SO RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE

OF NOTHING IN PARTICULAR,

SHE JUST DROPS:

A TRAY OF FOOD?

I GUESS.

YOU GUESS?

THAT'S WHAT I SAID,

CHIEF.

[DOOR CLOSES]

SORRY IT'S TAKEN SO LONG, FOLKS.

I'LL GET TO ALL OF YOU.

FIRST, YOU...

MRS. FISKE.

THANK YOU.

LAST DOOR:

ON THE RIGHT, PLEASE.

I ALREADY TOLD YOU, THE LAST TIME

I SAW HIM WAS AT THE BOOKSTORE.

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'VE HAD ME

WAITING HERE FOR HOURS FOR THIS.

JUST A FEW MORE:

ROUTINE QUESTIONS, MS. FISKE.

I'D LOOK FOR

UNAUTHORIZED VISITORS,

BUT I CAN'T TAKE

MY EYES OFF OF THIS.

NOW, AFTER YOU LEFT THE BOOKSTORE,

WHERE DID YOU GO?

YOU WANT ME:

TO GIVE YOU AN ALIBI?

YES.

I WENT TO THE HOTEL

WITH MY SON. WE WATCHED TV.

THAT'S ALL,

JUST STRAIGHT TO THE HOTEL?

YES.

IF YOU ASK ME, THAT LITTLE BOOKSTORE

TART HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THIS.

MS. KINSEY?

WHAT MAKES YOU SAY THAT?

SHE'S SUSPICIOUS.

SHE'S SHORT, AND SHE'S NOSY.

SHE WEARS BAD SHOES.

IF SAM WERE HERE,

SHE'D HAVE SOMETHING

TO SAY ABOUT THAT.

- AM I SHORT, CASSIE?

- SHH.

WHEN DID YOU:

LEAVE THE BOOKSTORE?

RIGHT AFTER:

MY MOM AND DAD.

I WANDERED AROUND TOWN A WHILE

AND THEN WENT BACK TO THE HOTEL.

WAS YOUR MOM WITH YOU?

NAH. I DIDN'T SEE HER

UNTIL BREAKFAST.

WHAT'D YOU DO

BACK AT THE HOTEL?

I WATCHED:

A REALLY GOOD OLD MOVIE.

I WANTED FISKE TO GIVE ME AN

ENDORSEMENT FOR MY COMPUTER GAME.

WHY DIDN'T YOU ASK HIM

AT THE BOOKSTORE?

I LEFT THE BOOKSTORE

BEFORE HE GOT THERE.

AND THE NEXT DAY,

YOU SNUCK INTO HIS HOUSE.

I DIDN'T SNEAK. I WENT TO SEE HIM

BECAUSE HE'S A FAMOUS MYSTERY WRITER

AND HIS NAME ON MY PRODUC WOULD HELP BOOST SALES.

AND WHEN HE WOULDN'T COOPERATE,

YOU MURDERED HIM.

NOW, HOW'S THA GONNA HELP MY SALES?

AND ONCE AGAIN,

EVERYBODY IS INNOCENT.

NOT MUCH NEW THERE.

WE KNOW JODY'S LYING,

AND HER SON DIDN'T GIVE HER AN ALIBI.

HE DIDN'T GIVE HIMSELF

ONE, EITHER.

DO YOU KNOW WHY CHIEF CONNORS

DIDN'T PRESS THAT ISSUE?

CASSIE, PRELIMINARY REPORT.

I WAS RIGHT.

- ASPHYXIATION BY POISONING.

- A NERVE AGENT?

NERVE AGENTS ARE REALLY COMMON.

LOT OF PESTICIDES USE 'EM.

FISKE DRANK PESTICIDE?

I WOULDN'T LEAP

TO THAT CONCLUSION.

ALTHOUGH, BY THE LOOKS OF THE BODY,

HE DIED VERY QUICKLY.

NO THRASHING,

NO CONVULSIONS.

SO WHAT DOES THA INDICATE?

WELL, EITHER HE INGESTED A LOT OF

POISON, OR IT WAS VERY, VERY POTENT.

SO THE KEY TO FINDING FISKE'S KILLER

IS FINDING THE SOURCE OF THE POISON.

WHICH IS WHAT CHIEF CONNORS WILL

DO ONCE THE TOX SCREENS COME IN

AND HE KNOWS:

WHICH POISON TO LOOK FOR.

HERE YOU GO, JOHN.

LET'S STEP IT UP.

I GOTTA GET BACK TO WORK.

I KNOW.

Philby:
IF WE PUT IN A KEY WORD

LIKE "POISON,"

WE'D BE HERE ALL DAY.

THE KEY HERE IS THE VICTIM.

START WITH THE VICTIM AND WORK OUTWARDS.

WE HAVE TO CORRELATE

ALL THE DATABASES.

WHO BENEFITS:

FROM FISKE'S DEATH?

AND THEN LOOKING FOR

COINCIDENCES.

RANDY HAS NO OBVIOUS

CONNECTION TO FISKE.

THEN NARROW IT DOWN

TO UNEXPLAINED COINCIDENCES.

JODY AND HER SON COULD DEFINITELY

BENEFIT FROM THE INHERITANCE.

AND THERE YOU HAVE IT.

CORRELATION-- THE SHOPS

THAT SELL THE POISONS,

ALL THE PEOPLE IN THIS AREA

THAT BOUGHT IT,

AND THE CREDIT-CARD RECORDS

OF THE PURCHASES.

- CORRELATION.

- AND A LEAD.

PHILBY, HOW DO YOU HAVE

ACCESS TO THESE DATABASES?

AREN'T THEY SUPPOSED

TO BE PROTECTED?

THEY ARE. HA HA HA.

- YOU BOUGHT THE POISON.

- OH, PLEASE.

YOU CAN EITHER TALK TO ME,

OR YOU CAN TALK TO THE POLICE,

BUT I KNOW THEY'RE

LOOKING FOR A GOOD SUSPECT,

AND I'M HAPPY

TO GIVE 'EM YOU.

LET'S DISCUSS THIS

IN PRIVATE.

I AM NOBODY'S SUSPECT.

I LOVED DONALD.

FISKE WAS KILLED BY POISON.

YOU BOUGHT THE POISON.

POISON?

THAT WASN'T TO KILL DONALD.

IT WAS TO KILL HIS RODENTS

BEFORE I MOVED IN.

YOU WERE MOVING IN?

YES. WE WERE GONNA

GET REMARRIED.

WOW, I DIDN'T KNOW FISKE VERY WELL,

BUT FROM WHAT HE SAID...

EXACTLY HOW WELL

DID YOU GET TO KNOW DONALD?

I MET HIM THE DAY I MET YOU.

WE TALKED. HE ACCEPTED MY INVITATION.

YOU MEAN SOLICITATION.

WHAT ARE YOU:

TALKING ABOUT?

LIKE I DIDN'T KNOW

WHERE HE WAS HEADED...

THE MINUTE HE STAYED

BEHIND AT THE BOOKSTORE.

HE LEFT.

WAITING OUTSIDE:

IS NOT LEAVING.

OK, WAIT A MINUTE.

ARE YOU SAYING THAT FISKE STAYED

OUTSIDE MY BOOKSTORE AFTER HE LEFT?

LISTEN:

TO LITTLE MISS INNOCENT.

YOU THINK I WAS NEVER

ONTO HIS GAMES?

- WHAT GAMES?

- THEY WERE ALWAYS THE SAME.

"I'VE GOT AN EMERGENCY

MEETING HERE.

I'VE GOT A CRISIS THERE.

BE HOME IN 5 MINUTES."

AND THEN HE SHOWS UP HOURS LATER

REEKING OF INFIDELITY.

FISKE TOLD YOU THAT HE

WANTED TO SEE ME ROMANTICALLY?

HE DIDN'T HAVE TO. HE WAS

WAITING OUTSIDE THE BOOKSTORE.

HE ASKED ME TO LEAVE

WITHOUT HIM,

SAID THAT HE HAD TO

TALK TO SOME GUY.

WHAT GUY?

I DON'T KNOW.

ROCKY, RORY...

RANDY? RANDY LAWRENCE? FISKE

WAS TALKING TO RANDY LAWRENCE.

IT WAS JUST AN EXCUSE

TO GET ME TO LEAVE.

MAYBE.

MS. KINSEY,

MAY I MAKE A SUGGESTION?

KEEP YOUR NOSE OU OF OTHER PEOPLE'S BUSINESS.

THANK YOU:

FOR THE ADVICE.

SAMMY, HEY.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

I WAS:

IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

COME IN.

YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSED

TO SEE THIS YET.

IT WAS GONNA BE A SURPRISE.

I BUILT IT FOR YOUR STORE.

SEE? IT ACCOMMODATES

3 CUSTOMERS AT ONCE,

EACH ONE PLAYING A SPECIALLY

LIMITED LOOP OF THE SOFTWARE.

WHY DID YOU LIE TO CHIEF

CONNORS ABOUT KNOWING FISKE?

- I DIDN'T KNOW HIM.

- YOU TOLD ME YOU DID KNOW HIM.

WELL, THAT WAS JUS TO GET YOU TO TRY THE GAME.

SOMEBODY SAW YOU TALKING

TO FISKE OUTSIDE MY STORE.

- NO, THEY DIDN'T.

- HE CERTAINLY ACTED LIKE HE KNEW YOU.

WHEN HE SAW YOUR PROMOTIONAL MATERIALS,

HE GOT REALLY AGGRAVATED,

THE KIND OF AGGRAVATED RESERVED FOR

PEOPLE WHO HAVE ACTUALLY MET YOU.

- I NEVER MET HIM.

- NEVER MET WHO?

ARE WE TALKING ABOU DONALD FISKE?

I WAS. RANDY NOT SO MUCH.

- ARREST HIM FOR MURDER.

- LOOK, I DIDN'T KILL ANYONE.

THE DAMNING EVIDENCE

CAME OUT OF YOUR OWN MOUTH, SON.

YOU CLAIMED YOU NEVER TOUCHED

ANYTHING AT THE MURDER SCENE.

THAT'S RIGHT.

I DIDN'T.

WELL, YOUR FINGERPRINTS

WERE FOUND ON SEVERAL ITEMS,

INCLUDING A DRINKING GLASS

THAT HAD TRACES OF POISON ON IT.

NO. NO, NO, NO,

I NEVER TOUCHED--

DON'T SAY ANYTHING

WITHOUT TALKING TO YOUR LAWYER.

AS MY GOOD FRIEND MIRANDA WOULD SAY,

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT.

MS. KINSEY.

IF YOU GIVE UP THAT RIGHT,

ANYTHING YOU SAY CAN AND WILL BE

USED AGAINST YOU IN A COURT OF LAW.

YOU DON'T THINK THAT RANDY

KILLED FISKE, DO YOU?

JUST BECAUSE I DIDN'T OPPOSE BAIL

DOESN'T MEAN I THINK HE'S INNOCENT.
