A scene from “Unfinished Business”

Mr. Vernon: [after Jessica exposes him as the murderer] Nancy took the guy to a Denver saloon and got him drunk. I hit him and we stuffed him into my car. First thing next morning, a few miles down the road, I pulled over, put the guy's dead body in the driver's seat, and sent him over the side. It was all so perfect. Accidental death, double indemnity. And then Pembroke started muddying the waters.

Jessica Fletcher: So you had to come back here to Aspen and kill him, to keep the case from going to trial.

Mr. Vernon: I phoned Pembroke from my room. Told him I had more information he could use against Laney. He was only too happy to meet me.
