Mystery Woman: Game Time Page #4

THE EVIDENCE:

IS CIRCUMSTANTIAL.

POISON IS PREMEDITATED.

PEOPLE DON'T JUST CARRY IT AROUND

UNLESS THEY'RE GONNA USE IT.

OK, SO HOW DID RANDY

GET FISKE TO DRINK IT?

IT'S NOT LIKE HE HAD

A WEAPON POINTED AT HIS HEAD.

I DON'T HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS.

SOMETIMES CIRCUMSTANTIAL IS

ALL YOU NEED TO INFER THE TRUTH.

IN THIS CASE,

IT LOOKS LIKE RANDY DID IT.

- WHY? BECAUSE NO ONE ELSE COULD HAVE.

- I GOTTA GO.

YOU KNOW, NOT A LOT OF LAWYERS COULD'VE

COME UP WITH THAT BAIL MONEY SO QUICK,

COMING IN COLD LIKE THAT.

YEAH.

YEAH, YOU DID A GREAT JOB.

THANKS FOR FINDING HIM

FOR ME, PAYING FOR HIM.

THAT'S WHA PARTNERS ARE FOR, RIGHT?

I GUESS.

OH, I'VE BEEN IN TOUCH

WITH SOME MARKETING PEOPLE.

THEY THINK THEY CAN GET US SOME KEY

PRODUCT PLACEMENT ON THOSECSISHOWS.

WE'LL TIME IT TO

COINCIDE WITH THE RELEASE

WHEN MY COMPANY TAKES THE WHOLE THING

NATIONAL IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS.

SAMMY.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

- I WAS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

- AGAIN? HUH.

HOW ARE YOU?

YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY,

3 HOTS AND A COT...

- WHAT MORE CAN A MAN ASK FOR?

- YEAH.

I BETTER GO CHECK ON THAT BAIL-MONEY

TRANSFER. NICE SEEING YOU AGAIN.

CLOSING DOWN "C" BLOCK.

SO, YOU PLAYED MY GAME.

I KNEW YOU'D LOVE IT.

WHEN DO YOU WANNA STAR SELLING IT AT YOUR STORE?

- YOU'RE IN JAIL FOR MURDER.

- WELL, IT'S A MISTAKE.

I'LL BE OUT ON BAIL SOON.

WHY WOULD ANYONE THINK I KILLED FISKE?

BESIDES THE FACT THAT YOU WERE

STANDING OVER THE DEAD BODY,

THAT YOU WERE SEEN

ARGUING WITH THE DECEASED,

AND THAT YOU LIED

ABOUT KNOWING HIM,

YOUR FINGERPRINTS WERE

ON THE GLASS THAT KILLED HIM.

YEAH, BESIDES ALL THAT.

RANDY, WHY DID YOU LIE ABOU TOUCHING ANYTHING IN THE ROOM?

'CAUSE HOW OFTEN DO I WALK INTO

A ROOM AND FIND A CORPSE IN IT?

I PANICKED. I DON'T KNOW

WHAT I DID.

THAT'S NO YOUR BEST DEFENSE.

I DID NOT KILL:

DONALD FISKE.

WELL, THAT LEAVES

THE QUESTION, WHO DID?

Bellman:
HE SAID

HE WOULD SEND IT DOWN,

SO IT SHOULD BE:

AT THE DESK NOW.

Woman:
OK. LET'S GO SEE.

AFTER I GET THIS DOWN,

WE'LL GET YOU A CAB.

Jody:
ALL WE HAVE LEF IS PROBABLY FLOWERS.

[LAUGHS] LOTS OF FLOWERS,

LILIES.

I'D LIKE

ONLY WHITE LILIES.

I MEAN, I THINK WITH THE AMOUN OF MONEY I'M SPENDING,

THAT SHOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM.

WHITE LILIES IT IS.

I'LL MAKE ALL THE ARRANGEMENTS

AND THEN CALL YOU LATER

THIS AFTERNOON:

FOR YOUR FINAL APPROVAL.

THANK YOU.

IT'S NOT EASY

MAKING FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS

FOR A LOVED ONE, IS IT?

NO, IT ISN'T.

AT LEAST HE CAN:

REST IN PEACE:

NOW THAT THEY'VE CAUGH HIS KILLER.

THE EVIDENCE AGAINST RANDY'S

PURELY CIRCUMSTANTIAL.

WELL, I'M SURE

THAT'LL BE A GREAT COMFOR AS HE'S ROTTING IN PRISON.

THEY'RE GONNA NEED MORE

TO CONVICT HIM,

LIKE THE POISON.

NOBODY'S FOUND IT.

I HAVE A VAGUE MEMORY

OF TELLING YOU TO MIND

YOUR OWN BUSINESS.

IF IN FACT IT TURNS OU THAT YOUR POISON

DID KILL FISKE,

CHIEF CONNORS WILL BE LOOKING

TO YOU AS A CO-CONSPIRATOR.

I NEVER EVEN OPENED

THE POISON.

FOR ALL I KNOW, IT'S STILL

IN THE GARDENING SHED.

WELL, THEN, YOU HAVE NOTHING

TO WORRY ABOUT, DO YOU?

A WOMAN'S WEAPON

OF CHOICE IS GENERALLY POISON.

AGATHA CHRISTIE:

KILLED MORE THAN HALF

OF HER VICTIMS WITH IT.

Philby:
YEAH, FICTIONALLY.

[SIGHS] I JUST DON'T BELIEVE

THAT RANDY KILLED FISKE,

BUT JODY ISN'T PANNING OU AS A SUSPECT, EITHER.

- I HAD AN ENVOY ONCE.

- ENVOY?

WELL, THAT'S WHAT SHE

PREFERRED BEING CALLED.

SHE?

THIS ENVOY SAID,

"WHEN YOU HIT A DEAD END,

GO BACKWARDS."

I THOUGHT AN ENVOY

WAS A GO-BETWEEN.

THE POINT IS,

WHAT DO WE KNOW:

ABOUT OUR SUSPECTS' ACTIVITIES

PRIOR TO THE CRIME?

WELL, FOR JODY, NOTHING.

BUT FOR RANDY, PRETTY MUCH

EVERYTHING'S A BIG HOLE

AFTER THE FIRST YEAR

OF HIGH SCHOOL.

HMM.

I'LL MAKE A FEW INQUIRIES,

SEE IF I CAN FILL IN

THE BACKGROUND.

CAN YOU THINK:

OF ANYTHING ELSE?

I'M STUCK ON THE POISON.

WE STILL DON'T KNOW

WHAT IT IS.

I'LL MAKE SOME CALLS.

...A COPY

OF THIS DEPOSITION FOR YOU.

ALL RIGHT...

CASSIE?

COME ON, CASSIE.

HI. WAS I EXPECTING YOU?

WHY WAS YOUR DOOR LOCKED?

I DIDN' WANNA BE DISTURBED.

CAN I COME IN?

SURE. THOUGHT YOU'D

NEVER ASK.

WHY ARE YOU ACTING

LIKE A WEIRDO?

WEIRDO?

I GOT A HEAVY CASELOAD.

I'M WORKING LATE.

I CAME TO SEE FISKE'S

TOXICOLOGY REPORT.

FISKE, DONALD.

THIRD ONE IN THE HEAP.

AUTOPSY... BLOOD TESTS.

NO TOXICOLOGY.

I WONDER:

HOW THEY ISOLATE POISONS.

THEY PROBABLY HAVE

100 DIFFERENT COLORED CANARIES.

CANARIES?

YOU KNOW, LIKE A CANARY

IN A COAL MINE.

RED ONE DIES, IT'S CYANIDE.

GREEN, LEAD.

YEAH, I'M SURE

THAT'S HOW THEY DO IT.

[CASSIE SIGHS]

WOW.

SUSPECT'S FINGERPRINTS

ARE A 10-POINT MATCH.

I'LL BRING THAT UP

IN OPENING ARGUMENTS.

"SUSPECT'S FINGERPRINTS

FOUND ON THE DRINKING GLASS,

"THE DESK...

AND THE COMPUTER

POWER BUTTON."

THE POWER BUTTON.

[SAMANTHA SIGHS]

THANKS.

WHY DON'T YOU GET SOME REST?

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

[KNOCK KNOCK]

YOU TOUCHED THE COMPUTER.

WHAT COMPUTER?

YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHA COMPUTER I'M TALKING ABOUT,

AND DON'T TELL ME

YOU PANICKED.

YOUR FINGERPRINTS ARE

ON THE POWER BUTTON. WHY?

I DON'T KNOW.

WHEN I CAME IN,

IT WAS MAKING NOISES,

LIKE AN ALARM.

I TURNED IT OFF.

RANDY, YOU'RE LYING.

THE COMPUTER WAS ON WHEN THEY

WERE DUSTING FOR PRINTS.

THAT MEANS YOU TURNED IT ON,

NOT OFF. WHY?

MAYBE I THOUGH I TURNED IT OFF.

MAYBE I JUST HI THE RESET BUTTON.

WHY-- WHY ARE YOU ASKING ME

ABOUT THE STUPID COMPUTER?

I DIDN'T KILL FISKE,

REMEMBER?

RANDY, I REALLY

WANNA BELIEVE YOU.

I'M PROBABLY THE ONLY PERSON

ON THE PLANET WHO WANTS

TO BELIEVE YOU,

BUT THE PROBLEM IS,

I KNOW YOU LIE.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

[RING]

[RING]

[RING]

HI.

WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG?

UH, I WAS JUST HEADING

OUT THE DOOR.

MEET ME:

AT THE FISKE HOUSE.

WHY?

BECAUSE IT'S

A CRIME SCENE,

AND I NEED YOU:

TO GO IN WITH ME.

- NOW?

- YES, NOW.

TONIGHT. IT'S IMPORTANT.

ALL RIGHT. I'M ON MY WAY.

THANK YOU.

[SIGHS] COME ON, CASSIE.

[RECORDING] HI, YOU'VE

REACHED CASSANDRA HILLMAN.

PLEASE LEAVE--

[DOOR CREAKS]

MS. KINSEY.

I TOLD YOU TO MIND

YOUR OWN BUSINESS.

OHH!

Samantha:
I'M TELLING YOU,

THE COMPUTER WAS THERE,

AND NOW IT'S GONE.

OOH.

Melinda:
EASY, HONEY. EASY.

SO WHY WOULD ANYONE

STEAL A COMPUTER

UNLESS THERE WAS SOMETHING

IMPORTANT ON IT?

RESEARCH,

HIS NEXT NOVEL...

TEXAS HOLD 'EM.

OH, RIGHT,

LIKE I'M THE ONLY ONE.

JODY WAS THERE.

YOU SAID:

SHE DIDN'T HIT YOU.

NO. THERE HAD TO HAVE

BEEN SOMEONE WITH HER...

BUT WHO?

SHE GONNA LIVE?

PROBABLY JUS A MINOR CONCUSSION.

NO MEMORY LOSS.

SHE'S NOT DIZZY.

SO, A COUPLE OF ASPIRIN?

SOME REST.

GOOD. GO DO THAT.

CHIEF, I GOT HI IN THE HEAD.

AND YOU DIDN'T SEE

WHO DID IT.

I GOT YOUR STATEMENT,

MS. KINSEY,

AND I'VE GOT PATROLS OU LOOKING FOR THE EX-WIFE.

YOU THINK IT'S SO CUTE,

THIS AMATEUR SLEUTHING

OF YOURS.

WELL, THERE'S NO SUCH THING.

IT ONLY HAPPENS IN BOOKS.

AND COMPUTER GAMES.

AND, YOU KNOW,

YOUR JOB, TOO.

I DON'T SOLVE MYSTERIES,

MS. KINSEY.

I SOLVE CRIMES.

I PUT BAD GUYS IN JAIL,

AND I TRY NO TO RISK MY LIFE

OR ANYBODY ELSE'S
