Rosa Abruzzi: [after Jessica accuses her of committing the murders] It wasn't fair of Carmine to take me away from my children. I would have missed everything. The wedding, the birth of my first grandchild. I couldn't bear that. I remembered hearing Carmine tell Andrew about a gunman named Johnny Carr. His number was in my husband's phone book. I paid him half the money, and I said I'd give him the other half afterwards. I wanted Carmine to die quickly, but this man, he botched it. I took the vial and the syringe when I put the instruments back in the medical bag after the surgery.
Dr. Seth Hazlitt: Carmine must have had a heart condition, or the digitoxin wouldn't have worked so quickly.
Rosa Abruzzi: He didn't want nobody to know. The doctor said never give him too much. When I was alone with Carmine, I said goodbye, and I kissed him, and I killed him.
Lt. Jerry Marino: And then you killed the hit man.
Rosa Abruzzi: He didn't do it right. He hurt my Carmine.
Jessica Fletcher: Rosa, how did you decide that murder was the solution to the problem?
Rosa Abruzzi: It was easy. I just asked myself, "What would Carmine do?"
