Murder, She Wrote · Season 1, Episode 15

A scene from “Unfinished Business”

Joan Kemp: [after Jessica exposes her as the murderer] My worst mistake was thinking that Austin Young could ever love me the way I loved him. He thought of me as a child. I couldn't bear to see the woman I knew he was making love to. He'd hold my hand, kiss my cheek. I wanted him to make love to me. He said when I grew up, I would understand. I still don't. Every day at lunch, I would pour him his glass of wine. My very own ritual. That day, I said goodbye to everyone, and I slipped inside his trailer.

Lt. Gabriel Caceras: And laced his wine with sleeping pills.

Jessica Fletcher: And for thirty-five years, you didn't realize you'd been photographed leaving the murder scene.

Joan Kemp: Fritz kept threatening me with it. He said he'd go tell the police, that it would make his book a huge bestseller. That no-talent sycophant! He wasn't good enough to polish Austin Young's boots. At the beginning of the screening, I noticed there was an empty seat next to Fritz, so I grabbed it. I dropped a handful of pills into his glass, hoping they would dissolve. I guess they did because, by the last reel, Fritz was telling me he wasn't feeling so good. He got up out of his seat and staggered up the aisle.
