Murder, She Wrote · Season 1, Episode 15

A scene from “Unfinished Business”

Noah Farmer: [after Jessica exposes him as the murderer] I don't know. It seemed like such a sure-fire way to get rich. But then, when I heard Mrs. Buffum say that she was gonna report the whole thing to the law, I panicked. Hell, I had dug a hole for myself so deep there was no way I was ever gonna see daylight again. I had to talk to her. To find out how much she knew, if she was serious. I knew she had already checked out of the hotel. When she left Hill House, I waited for her in the back seat. And when she got to a street that was near the waterfront, I got her to pull over and we talked. A long time. She showed me proof. All I could see was that I'd be ruined. I was desperate. I pleaded with her, but it was no use. She wouldn't touch any of that cheap gin. But I'd had too much of it. The more we argued, the angrier I became. I guess I lost all control. She was unconscious, so I propped her up. I took the incriminating documents she'd brought with her. I guess that's when the pen top fell off. I tried to wipe everything clean, the door handles, the gin bottle. And then I put the car into drive. All I asked her for was a couple of more days.
