00:00:00Tonight's film, a dramatization of events in the mysterious life of Marie Hilly, is
00:00:22based on court and police records and personal interviews.
00:00:38I'm not quite sure, Frank, but we're going to make you feel better, aren't we, Marie?
00:00:42We sure are.
00:00:44I think, in addition to the K-O-Pectate, we ought to make sure that Frank continues to
00:00:48eat and drink a lot of fluids.
00:00:50I don't want him getting dehydrated.
00:00:52Well, Carol and I will make sure he does as instructed.
00:00:55You go on home, Frank.
00:00:56Marie, you keep up the TLC.
00:00:58Alright.
00:00:59Thanks, Lyle.
00:01:00Come on, honey.
00:01:02Bye now, Lyle.
00:01:06Hi.
00:01:07Hi.
00:01:08How's your dad doing?
00:01:09He's about the same, I guess.
00:01:11He looks real bad.
00:01:13I know.
00:01:16Why, hi, Belinda.
00:01:18How y'all doing today?
00:01:19Fine, Miss Hilly.
00:01:25Your mom's so neat.
00:01:26You're lucky.
00:01:27She's okay.
00:01:28Most of the time.
00:01:29Carol, you could have looked a little nicer.
00:01:32Put on a dress or something nice like Belinda.
00:01:34Mom.
00:01:35She's her father's little boy.
00:01:36Doesn't mean you have to look like one.
00:01:38Yes, Lyle.
00:01:39Hold the pair's your grandma girl.
00:01:40Help her into the car.
00:01:41Or she's driven.
00:01:42Bye now, Belinda.
00:01:43Bye.
00:01:44Sorry.
00:01:45Thanks, Janelle.
00:01:46Mama fixed her favorite, Daddy.
00:01:47Got to eat something dry, dear?
00:02:01Darling, I just...
00:02:02I don't think I can.
00:02:03I know it's good, but...
00:02:04Please, Frank.
00:02:05Please.
00:02:06For me?
00:02:07Well, maybe I'll eat for you.
00:02:08Come on, Daddy.
00:02:09How about a bite for your old buddy here, huh?
00:02:13That's it.
00:02:14Good.
00:02:15Good.
00:02:16How about a bite for your old buddy here, huh?
00:02:17That's it.
00:02:18Good.
00:02:19How about a bite for your old buddy here, huh?
00:02:21That's it.
00:02:22Good.
00:02:46Good.
00:02:47Where's the car?
00:02:48Good.
00:02:49Who took the...
00:02:50Rain?
00:02:52Is it raining?
00:02:53Frank?
00:02:54Where?
00:02:55I need the key.
00:02:56I need the key.
00:02:57Frank, you don't need the key.
00:02:59Don't.
00:03:00Come on, I'm going to help you.
00:03:02Don't touch me.
00:03:03Don't touch me.
00:03:05I can't.
00:03:07Frank, don't touch me.
00:03:08Come on.
00:03:09Come sit on the porch.
00:03:10Come on.
00:03:11Come on.
00:03:12Come sit on the porch.
00:03:14Come on.
00:03:15I can't.
00:03:16It's all right.
00:03:18It's all right.
00:03:19You have to sit here.
00:03:20You have to sit here.
00:03:21Easy.
00:03:22It's all right.
00:03:25It's all right.
00:03:25Shh.
00:03:26Shh.
00:03:27Shh.
00:03:28Shh.
00:03:29Shh.
00:03:30Shh.
00:03:31The whole seal.
00:03:32Shh.
00:03:33Shh.
00:03:34Shh.
00:03:35Shh.
00:03:36Shh.
00:03:37Shh.
00:03:38Carol, call an ambulance.
00:03:40I'm not here.
00:03:43Easy, friend.
00:03:44That's right.
00:03:45It's easy.
00:03:47It's on a rock.
00:03:48That's right.
00:03:49It's nice.
00:04:15It's really sick to mind.
00:04:19It's pretty much fun.
00:04:21It's very nice.
00:04:22It's very busy.
00:04:24Isn't it fair?
00:04:25It's on the rock.
00:04:26It's pretty good.
00:04:27I can't believe it is.
00:04:28I can't believe it.
00:04:29It's very nice.
00:04:30It's all right.
00:04:31I can't believe it.
00:04:32Sorry.
00:04:34I can't believe it.
00:04:35I can't believe it.
00:04:36It's kind of like a message.
00:04:37I can't believe it.
00:04:38I can't believe it.
00:04:39It's crazy.
00:04:40Just love it.
00:05:11Carol, are you ready to go?
00:05:18I feel so alone with Daddy gone.
00:05:23Well, you are so special to him.
00:05:29Sometimes I envy you two.
00:05:32You're like two peas in a pod.
00:05:36Well, your daddy's in heaven now.
00:05:39He's looking down at his baby girl, and he wants you to be strong.
00:05:46We'll come through this together.
00:05:48Our little family.
00:05:51Mom will take care of you.
00:05:52We used to do everything together.
00:06:10God, I miss him.
00:06:12Oh, no.
00:06:14It'll be all right.
00:06:16I still can't believe it.
00:06:18It was just so sudden.
00:06:20He seemed fine ten days ago, didn't he, Mama?
00:06:24It just got worse real fast.
00:06:26First, he had these real bad stomach aches, and then his liver stopped working.
00:06:30Where is your Mama?
00:06:31She's just lost.
00:06:38She's just lost.
00:06:38Why do you always do this?
00:06:58So you can see where I came from and appreciate where we're going.
00:07:01Now y'all gonna drive up the hill to where you think you belong.
00:07:09Growing up here didn't stop me from being voted the prettiest girl in Amherstown.
00:07:14All Calhoun County, for that matter.
00:07:19I think you should have a boyfriend by now.
00:07:21I had one.
00:07:22He wasn't good enough for you.
00:07:24Oh, Hilly, you can do better than Ronnie Harmon.
00:07:27We can do better than this.
00:07:28When I was your age, you had dozens of boyfriends.
00:07:33Matter of fact, I do.
00:07:35I had my pick and choose.
00:07:38More than a few from up on the hill, too.
00:07:40Why'd you marry Daddy, then?
00:07:41Don't be fresh with me.
00:07:44Your father was a wonderful man.
00:07:52Those times,
00:07:55y'all didn't just cross, you know?
00:07:58There's always been them and us.
00:08:02And I could speak French, too.
00:08:14Guess we better get going.
00:08:15I think we should find a place to live up near here.
00:08:29Sure, Mom.
00:08:31Well, at least closer to here.
00:08:33Maybe at the bottom and slowly work our way up.
00:08:38I'd love to live here.
00:08:40I should live here.
00:08:42There's Mr. Coswell's house.
00:08:45There.
00:08:47He said I was the best executive secretary he ever had.
00:08:51And why'd you quit?
00:08:52I had a better offer.
00:08:54Went to work for Mr. Gaines.
00:08:57I was in great demand.
00:08:59All these men wanted me to work for them.
00:09:03Most important men in town.
00:09:05All of them.
00:09:10Matter of fact, I haven't interviewed them all.
00:09:11I've heard awful good things about you.
00:09:16Well, that's awfully nice of you to say.
00:09:19I always tried to do my very best.
00:09:21Which is very good indeed, from all accounts.
00:09:23Would you have time?
00:09:28To help, I mean.
00:09:30We're undergoing some extensive restructuring of the marketing division.
00:09:34And I understand your organizational skills are impeccable.
00:09:39And, well, perhaps you could sleep on it for a few days or so.
00:09:45Well, Mr. Corkin, I'm truly flat at your consideration.
00:09:50Really, I'd be quite pleased to help in any way I could.
00:09:52Well, welcome aboard.
00:09:55Well.
00:09:57Uh, you, uh.
00:09:59Do you, uh.
00:10:03Would you like a little, uh.
00:10:06Little highball?
00:10:07I always like a little bit around this shade of the day.
00:10:13Fuck.
00:10:14Just a little bit.
00:10:22Come on.
00:10:41Bye.
00:10:41Bye.
00:10:43Bye.
00:10:47Bye.
00:10:48What do you want?
00:11:12It's Grandma.
00:11:14She's been terrible all night.
00:11:16I feel so helpless. I can't do anything for her.
00:11:19I don't want her to die.
00:11:24I'll take care of things.
00:11:26I will.
00:11:29You go on now.
00:11:30You go on, go to bed.
00:11:32Go on, Cameron.
00:11:33Go on.
00:11:34Go on.
00:11:43Hello?
00:11:43Hello?
00:11:44Who is it?
00:11:46Hello?
00:11:51Those phone calls again.
00:11:53They call, breathe in the phone, and hang up.
00:11:56How long has it been happening?
00:11:59Ever since Daddy died.
00:12:05Well, this harassment sure is strange, no doubt about that, Miss Hilly.
00:12:08But I don't see any signs of forced entry or anything.
00:12:11Well, what about the notes and phone calls?
00:12:13Well, unless we've got some hard proof, there's nothing I can do.
00:12:17If you get another note, hold on to it, and I'll come get it.
00:12:20In the meantime, we'll just have to keep an eye out.
00:12:24Hopefully the type on your phone will help us out.
00:12:25Well, we understand completely and are ever so thankful for your concern, Lieutenant.
00:12:31Yes, ma'am.
00:12:48Carol!
00:12:49Don't go in your room.
00:12:51What?
00:12:51Don't go in your room.
00:12:52Carol?
00:12:54Carol?
00:12:56Carol, wait.
00:12:58Please, Carol.
00:12:59Don't go in your room.
00:13:01No!
00:13:02Mama, why are they doing this?
00:13:04Carol, we're going to have to ruin my precious baby.
00:13:06But why?
00:13:07They're trying to kill me, I know.
00:13:08Who, Marie?
00:13:12Who is they?
00:13:13I...
00:13:14I can't.
00:13:15I can't.
00:13:16I have to get grandma, Dan.
00:13:20Gary.
00:13:21Yes, Les?
00:13:22Can I talk to you in a minute?
00:13:23Yes.
00:13:38Sure is strange.
00:13:55Who would want her to pretty lady like her?
00:13:57I don't know.
00:13:59Where does she get all the money?
00:14:02We don't have any money.
00:14:04Well, I checked the clothes in her closet.
00:14:06Looks like a movie star's.
00:14:08Well, Mama likes to look nice.
00:14:13Well, you call if anything else happens, okay?
00:14:15Sure.
00:14:22So, she says,
00:14:25Well, I declare I was simply mortified
00:14:27like some little West Nashville bell.
00:14:30A crack of trash is practically known
00:14:32the entire First Baptist Men's Revival Choir.
00:14:34In the biblical sense, of course.
00:14:36What does she do during the day?
00:14:51Who?
00:14:53What?
00:14:54Oh, she tends her garden with little gloves
00:14:56with tiny tulips all over them.
00:14:58And, uh, she paints.
00:15:00Paints what?
00:15:01Birds.
00:15:03Badly.
00:15:13I'd have liked that.
00:15:14Mom?
00:15:24I want to have a drink.
00:15:30I want to make that drink.
00:15:30Mama!
00:15:31Grandma!
00:15:33Grandma!
00:15:34Grandma!
00:15:34Grandma!
00:15:35Grandma!
00:15:35Mama!
00:15:42Grandma!
00:15:43Grandma!
00:15:45I got you.
00:15:46Come on.
00:15:52I got you.
00:15:54I got you.
00:15:55Come on.
00:16:03Mama!
00:16:05Oh, my face.
00:16:12Oh, my face.
00:16:26And where did all the money go, Marie?
00:16:29Frank's life insurance paid you $30,000.
00:16:32Now, as any fine Southern woman, I know you know your Bible.
00:16:40Robbing Peter to pay Paul?
00:16:43I'm afraid we're going to have to put you on a little monetary diet.
00:16:46Now, I have devised a little plan.
00:16:52We're going to float you a small loan secured on your own good name to cover these bad checks.
00:16:59Now, just until the fire insurance proceeds can be dispersed.
00:17:03Lord, I couldn't live without you.
00:17:06You know that?
00:17:07You're a lifesaver.
00:17:08I don't know how I can ever thank you.
00:17:10It's funny without Grandma here.
00:17:17It's funny without Grandma here.
00:17:23Well, I should be better than Aunt Freda.
00:17:30It's funny without furniture, too.
00:17:47So, on the way, I ordered a wonderful living and dining set from Wilmington's.
00:17:53Well, I think that's nice, don't you?
00:17:56Uh-huh.
00:17:57I've never seen snow except for in your paintings.
00:18:01And I've never seen the real thing myself, either.
00:18:05Someday we'll go to the mountains.
00:18:08Wear thick furs.
00:18:10Why, we'll learn to ski.
00:18:12And yodel.
00:18:13Yodel-a-hee-hoo.
00:18:14Hal, sometimes I think I'll just get nowhere.
00:18:23Like, we were born in this little town with a fence around it five miles high.
00:18:28We've got to stay in it forever.
00:18:30Like me?
00:18:32Is that what you think my life's been about?
00:18:35No, but I...
00:18:35I could have done quite well, thank you.
00:18:44Shouldn't it explode?
00:18:50Well, not if we do it right.
00:18:52Not like it hadn't been done by anyone before.
00:18:55We just reported stolen.
00:18:58Come on, come on.
00:19:06What do you think of that?
00:19:08That was pretty cool, Mama.
00:19:14Mama?
00:19:17Yes?
00:19:19I got asked for the prom.
00:19:23The senior prom?
00:19:26Why?
00:19:27Missy, Carol!
00:19:29We sure enough gonna get you all dolled up cuter than a little itty-bitty baby blue-eyed angel.
00:19:35I do declare we sure enough will.
00:19:41This is where my daddy taught me to drive.
00:19:43Can we really afford this car?
00:19:45Carol, I've already explained this to you.
00:19:49That's why we burned the old one.
00:19:51Whatever you say, this is slick.
00:19:55Just up here.
00:19:58Up, little father.
00:19:59Up, little father.
00:20:01Now, stop.
00:20:02Stop.
00:20:03Now, the hardest part of your test is parallel.
00:20:07Parallel parking.
00:20:08I'm gonna practice here.
00:20:10Between these monuments, to our founding fathers, pillars of our fine little town.
00:20:17Won't we get in trouble doing this?
00:20:20Carol, just practice parallel, all right?
00:20:23Well, I don't know.
00:20:29It just doesn't seem right.
00:20:31Personally, I think the color is lovely on her.
00:20:35I wonder if you'll ever fill out, Carol.
00:20:38Curves can be such an advantage.
00:20:40I do kind of like this one, Mama.
00:20:46What about that blue one that girl has on?
00:20:52I'll check and see if we have it in her size.
00:20:55Of course, I think she looks lovely in this one.
00:20:57With alterations, of course.
00:20:59I do kind of like this one.
00:21:01Don't be ridiculous.
00:21:04Ta-da.
00:21:05Here we are.
00:21:06Perfect.
00:21:07Mama, I don't put it on, Carol.
00:21:31Well, I think this will have to do.
00:21:36A new car, Marie?
00:21:44Not a very prudent purchase under the circumstances.
00:21:48I do believe the devil made me do it, Ward.
00:21:50Oh.
00:21:51You've closed the account?
00:22:07But, Ward...
00:22:08Of course, I'll try to make the payments.
00:22:12Yes, I can.
00:22:14Yes, I can.
00:22:15Please?
00:22:18The other town is overdrawn, too?
00:22:21I don't know how that could possibly have happened.
00:22:27Give me a month, Ward.
00:22:29Please?
00:22:31Please, I promise.
00:22:32Well, that check was just for little old dress.
00:22:45One month?
00:22:47Please?
00:22:50Thanks, Ward.
00:22:52Bye.
00:22:53Bye.
00:22:54Bye.
00:22:55Bye.
00:22:56Bye.
00:22:57Bye.
00:22:58Bye.
00:22:59Bye.
00:23:00Bye.
00:23:01Bye.
00:23:02Bye.
00:23:03Bye.
00:23:04Bye.
00:23:05Bye.
00:23:06Bye.
00:23:07Bye.
00:23:08Bye.
00:23:09Bye.
00:23:10Bye.
00:23:11Bye.
00:23:12Bye.
00:23:13Bye.
00:23:14Bye.
00:23:15Bye.
00:23:16Bye.
00:23:17Bye.
00:23:18Bye.
00:23:19Bye.
00:23:20Bye.
00:23:21Bye.
00:23:22Now, Carol, I want you to eat something.
00:23:38Oh, Mama.
00:23:43Every bit of it, young lady, especially if you drink.
00:23:46Mama, I ain't gonna drink.
00:23:48Don't tell me what kids do at proms.
00:23:52I want five, youngest girl in Aniston.
00:23:56Three times princess and then queen.
00:23:58They mix it in soda, and you just hope they throw off on themselves instead of your pretty little pumps.
00:24:13Good evening, Miss Hilly.
00:24:15Hi, Billy.
00:24:16Want me in?
00:24:17It's not right there.
00:24:18Well, Carol's all ready.
00:24:23Mama, don't you look handsome.
00:24:26Join me.
00:24:34Carol?
00:24:35Carol, are you all right?
00:24:36Carol, are you all right?
00:24:46Carol, what's wrong?
00:24:46Carol, do you need some water or something?
00:24:47Are you drunk?
00:24:49Go get your wet mask.
00:24:51Come here.
00:24:53Don't, don't, don't touch me.
00:24:56Please, please, please.
00:24:58Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't.
00:25:15Good morning.
00:25:18Good morning, Mrs. Hilly.
00:25:34I'm Dr. Seldes.
00:25:35I've been supervising Carol's tests.
00:25:37It's a pleasure, Dr. Seldes.
00:25:39I know you'll do the best you can.
00:25:40I've heard wonderful things about this place.
00:25:43And where did you go to medical school?
00:25:44Oh, well, uh, Tulane.
00:25:48I, I went to Tulane.
00:25:49It's a wonderful school, son of the South, I'd say.
00:25:52And what is your diagnosis?
00:25:54Uh, dehydration, vomiting, chills, fever.
00:26:00Um, it's a bit mystifying.
00:26:04We can't find a specific cause, Mrs. Hilly.
00:26:07Now, we'll keep her here under observation for a few days.
00:26:10Is that all you can say?
00:26:11Oh, I'm sorry.
00:26:14It's, uh, it's very difficult to give an exact diagnosis with such diffuse symptoms.
00:26:19Oh, no.
00:26:20Oh, no, you will not keep my baby.
00:26:23I will take her home.
00:26:24I will see to her.
00:26:25I most certainly will.
00:26:28Dr. Sherman, 273, call.
00:26:31Dr. Sherman, 273, call.
00:26:33Dr. Sherman, 273, call.
00:26:33I've got your favorite Italian roast beef.
00:26:40Linda, are you sure you wouldn't care for something?
00:26:42No, thanks, Mrs. Hilly.
00:26:43All right.
00:26:44There you go.
00:26:45I'll just leave you girls be.
00:26:47Thanks, Mama.
00:26:48That's all right, sugar.
00:26:49Carol?
00:27:14Carol?
00:27:16Miss Hilly?
00:27:17Come quick.
00:27:18Miss Hilly?
00:27:19Well, she's been like this for two days.
00:27:28Darling, they gave me something so you don't have to come back to the hospital.
00:27:32Can you help me?
00:27:33I don't know, Miss Hilly.
00:27:34I have permission.
00:27:35It's an anti-nausea drug, and I have permission, so I don't have to keep bringing her back into
00:27:38the ER for this.
00:27:39Now, would you help me hold her?
00:27:41It just don't seem right.
00:27:42Then I'll do it myself.
00:27:47Where are you going?
00:27:47Um, uh, maybe we should just call 911.
00:27:53You stay right here.
00:27:55You help me hold her legs.
00:27:56Oh.
00:27:57Oh.
00:27:58Oh.
00:27:58Oh.
00:27:58Oh.

00:28:22Oh.
00:28:22Oh.
00:28:23Oh.
00:28:23Oh.
00:28:23She's got to go to the hospital.
00:28:42You've got to do something.
00:28:43You've got to go to the hospital.
00:29:13It's going to be okay, Cheryl.
00:29:21Go ahead.
00:29:22I'll get the chair.
00:29:23Okay.
00:29:24What are you doing?
00:29:25She's doing my job.
00:29:26This stuff was bought with a bounce check.
00:29:28Sorry, girly.
00:29:38Carol.
00:29:39Melinda.
00:29:40Melinda.
00:29:41I can't see.
00:29:42It's all cloudy.
00:29:43Call Mama.
00:29:44I don't know what's happening to me.
00:29:49I'm right here.
00:29:49That was Wellington's furniture.
00:30:00Marie's check to them just bounced.
00:30:03She's accumulating a stack of bad checks about as thick as a deck of cards.
00:30:09Now, why is she doing this, Ward?
00:30:11I don't know.
00:30:12We tried to help her with the finances ever since Frank died.
00:30:15How so?
00:30:16Well, just simple guidance.
00:30:19She was constantly overdrawn at a few other banks.
00:30:22Her accounts closed.
00:30:23So we tried to help her.
00:30:26We opened her accounts here, based on the fact that she was selling a home of hers down in Florida.
00:30:30Well, is that going to help with all these bad checks?
00:30:35It should.
00:30:36We're looking to open a $30,000 CD.
00:30:40Does Wellington's want to press charges?
00:30:42I don't know.
00:30:45I have to call them up.
00:30:47I do know that Marie bought a new car.
00:30:51New car?
00:30:52Yeah.
00:30:53Well, how's that possible?
00:30:54Not through us.
00:30:56Dealer must have financed it.
00:30:57I got something for you, honey.
00:31:14I got something for you, honey.
00:31:21The nurse gave it to me.
00:31:23She said they don't know what they're doing.
00:31:32And maybe, maybe this will help.
00:31:43But don't tell anyone, okay?
00:31:45All the nurse will get in trouble.
00:31:47The doctor asked me if I'd ever try to commit suicide.
00:31:51What?
00:31:52When?
00:31:53Why they ask a silly question like that?
00:31:56Yes, me, if I was eating pencilettes.
00:32:03What kind of silliness is this supposed to mean?
00:32:06Suicide?
00:32:06Lead pencils?
00:32:07Well, I've found slightly elevated levels of lead in her blood, and I'm running more tests.
00:32:11You are most certainly not running any more tests.
00:32:13You've had my little girl in here for a week, poking, draining, bleeding.
00:32:17I'm taking her out of here right now.
00:32:19But you can't.
00:32:20I can do everything I want.
00:32:21I want her discharged in my care immediately.
00:32:24Arrange for it this instant.
00:32:25I demand it.
00:32:26You cannot take it.
00:32:27I'm taking her under the UAB.
00:32:28But they might know what they're doing.
00:32:30This incompetence is criminal.
00:32:31I won't have it.
00:32:31It all started after the death of her husband.
00:32:45Threatening phone calls.
00:32:48Well, nuisance calls.
00:32:50Phone would ring nobody on the other end.
00:32:53There's the fires first in the closet.
00:32:56Obvious arson.
00:32:57Some breaking and entering.
00:32:58And then the house fire.
00:33:01We've got a laundry list of slowly accumulating violence here.
00:33:05It's bizarre.
00:33:07You mean to tell me that she's emptied three bank accounts, is now writing checks on a non-existent account, and is into two banks for thousands?
00:33:15Yeah?
00:33:16Ward Bellamy opened an account for her based on the sale of a house that doesn't exist.
00:33:22I don't believe this woman.
00:33:24She's got a job, gets a dead husband, Social Security, and has gone through 30,000 life insurance in less than a year.
00:33:31The only monthly payment she's made good on is her daughter's life insurance policy.
00:34:01Audrey Marie Healy?
00:34:04Why, Gary, you know I am.
00:34:10You're under arrest.
00:34:12For what?
00:34:13A lot of bad checks, Marie.
00:34:15I can't tell you how disappointed I am about this.
00:34:19You have a right to remain silent?
00:34:21Don't leave me, Mama.
00:34:22I'm afraid.
00:34:23I won't go home today.
00:34:25What do you all got here?
00:34:27Partial paralysis, blindness, neurological decomposition, gastroenterology,
00:34:31gastrointestinal chaos.
00:34:32Oh, wait a minute.
00:34:34Let me go and look at her hands.
00:34:38I don't believe it.
00:34:40I just read about this.
00:34:41These striations, these lines through the nails.
00:34:44This is something if you're not looking for, it's hard to find.
00:34:47So what does it mean?
00:34:48Honey?
00:34:49Honey, can you hear me?
00:34:52Now that you did this to yourself?
00:34:56Someone's trying to kill you.
00:34:59Look, get a hair sample.
00:35:00This kid is full of arsenic.
00:35:05Arsenic?
00:35:07No, thanks.
00:35:09I'll get back to you.
00:35:10You have to trust me, Carol.
00:35:19We go before the grand jury tomorrow.
00:35:41I know she's your mother.
00:35:44But without you, I have nothing.
00:35:51You had 100 times the normal level of arsenic in your body.
00:35:56And those shots, they weren't anti-nauseous.
00:35:58I just can't, Mr. Hubbard.
00:36:01She's my mother.
00:36:03I can't explain it.
00:36:05I just...
00:36:05Without you...
00:36:11Without you...
00:36:12Dr. Hensley is the last two years.
00:36:36She set those fires.
00:36:39She's the one's been calling you.
00:36:41She did all of this deliberately.
00:36:46I mean, forget the bad checks.
00:36:48Forget the arson.
00:36:50Forget these tormenting phone calls she's made to you.
00:36:54She murdered your own daddy, girl.
00:36:57And one more dose and she would have murdered you.
00:37:00You are now the only living witness.
00:37:12This isn't a bad check charge I'm after.
00:37:16You have to help.
00:37:18She's my mama!
00:37:21Do you think my mama's crazy?
00:37:29What do you think?
00:37:35I kind of wish she was.
00:37:39Carol, your mama knows exactly what she's doing.
00:37:44He was all premeditated.
00:37:48He was all premeditated.
00:37:58Indictments on every count.
00:38:00You know, the grand jury has chosen to indict on bad checks,
00:38:09murder, first degree on your daddy,
00:38:13and an attempt to poison on you.
00:38:17What's going to happen to me?
00:38:30When I see this information,
00:38:31Joe has to be, uh, excuse me.
00:38:34What?
00:38:35The fella just got her off on $14,000 bond.
00:38:38$14,000?
00:38:39Well, Miss Marie called in her markers from all over town.
00:38:42There's some big ones.
00:38:44Where is she?
00:38:46Fowler said he wanted to keep the press off her.
00:38:48He's got her checked into a motel in Birmingham.
00:38:50Birmingham?
00:38:58Hey, it's upstairs, sir.
00:39:05Right there.
00:39:08Father, you led me straight to her.
00:39:22You will hear from me.
00:39:27Oh, I see.
00:39:28Been kidnapped.
00:39:29Yeah, right.
00:39:34My God, Carol.
00:39:36We gotta get back up to Anniston.
00:39:37Oh, my God.
00:40:00This is 479.
00:40:01Corrine, let me talk to Les.
00:40:03We've arrived at Hilly Residence.
00:40:05Uh, do we have any further updates?
00:40:19She's escaped.
00:40:23She's gone, Carol.
00:40:24Listen, I want you to come over to my place.
00:40:29You'll be safe with my family.
00:40:31She can't spend her life in fear and hiding.
00:40:34There's no way to live.
00:40:35I'll be all right.
00:40:36I'll stay with Aunt Frida.
00:40:37All right.
00:40:39I'll post a watch on you, then.
00:40:42We're gonna get her, Carol.
00:40:44If it's the last thing I do, she's gonna be done hurting people.
00:40:47I'm gonna get her.
00:40:48I'm gonna get her.
00:40:49We're gonna get her.
00:40:52Totally.
00:41:02Robbie Hannon.
00:41:03Double N.
00:41:04That's right.
00:41:05This is a very impressive resume, Robbie. I think we'll be able to place you in a New York manatee.
00:41:10Just in time, too. Either that, I'll find myself a little old sugar daddy.
00:41:15Well, there's more than a few of those around, if you don't mind them a little on the well-done side.
00:41:20Where are you staying now?
00:41:22A hotel just off the beach, the Florida Breeze.
00:41:25Well, you check this lead out, see if you like it.
00:41:28And I'll meet you over at the Sand and Sea around five-ish.
00:41:31For a cocktail, we'll show you around a bit.
00:41:34It's a deal.
00:41:44I haven't been anywhere without my friends.
00:41:47It's a pretty nice place.
00:41:49Oh, wow.
00:41:51All those things.
00:41:53So, this is the hot spot in town.
00:41:58A lot of the rich guys from the marina come here all the time.
00:42:02Not bad, huh?
00:42:04Now, some of these guys are married, but a lot of them aren't.
00:42:11What about him?
00:42:13John Homan.
00:42:15Rumor has it he's for money.
00:42:17But if he's got it, he doesn't flash it.
00:42:20He likes to get his hands dirty.
00:42:22Works on boats.
00:42:23I like a man who can work with his hands.
00:42:26Now, that all depends on where he puts them.
00:42:29How much money?
00:42:31Nothing that I'd quit my day job for.
00:42:33He's really a blue collar kind of guy.
00:42:36I've talked to him maybe once or twice.
00:42:38Yeah.
00:42:39Kinda like his looks.
00:42:42That's really one of the most interesting things I've ever heard.
00:42:46I can't believe I'm talking this much.
00:42:49I don't usually at all.
00:42:51You make me feel so comfortable.
00:42:55I feel the same.
00:42:58Well, who is this person you miss very much?
00:43:03I'm sorry.
00:43:04I'm sorry.
00:43:05I'm sorry.
00:43:06I just...
00:43:08I just...
00:43:09I'm sorry.
00:43:10Take it easy.
00:43:11By the way I'm acting.
00:43:13Well, you...
00:43:15Tell me...
00:43:16Tell me if you want.
00:43:23You...
00:43:24You remind me of my husband.
00:43:27He and my two children were killed in an automobile accident a year ago in Texas.
00:43:33Yes.
00:43:39I've been...
00:43:40Sort of lost.
00:43:43Adrift ever since.
00:43:47My marriage failed.
00:43:49Well...
00:43:50It's hard.
00:43:52She has...
00:43:53Left me.
00:43:55I'm not real close with my family.
00:43:57I'm...
00:43:58I'm pretty much of a disappointment to them.
00:44:00I'm sorry.
00:44:01I like to work with my hands.
00:44:02Well...
00:44:03I think that's a decent and honest thing for a man to do.
00:44:06Why would any woman in her right mind leave a man like you?
00:44:23Can I?
00:44:24Can I?
00:44:25Can I see you again?
00:44:26Yes.
00:44:27I like that.
00:44:28Oh...
00:44:29Oh...
00:44:30Oh...
00:44:31Oh...
00:44:32Oh...
00:44:33Yeah.
00:44:34Go around all of these.
00:44:35What?
00:44:36Every one of these tighten.
00:44:37John!
00:44:38John!
00:44:39All right.
00:44:40I gotta go.
00:44:41Tighten all the rest of these and you check those belts.
00:44:42There.
00:44:43Oh...
00:44:44Hey.
00:44:45I tell you, that mane squeeze of yours got you on a tight leash, don't you?
00:44:48I want something like that to you and something like me.
00:44:49Oh...
00:44:50Oh...
00:44:51Hi.
00:44:52Oh...
00:44:53Oh...
00:44:54You look wonderful.
00:44:55I want....
00:44:56I want to get over there.
00:44:57What I get over there?
00:44:58It's a good thing.
00:44:59I want to get over there.
00:45:00I want to get over there.
00:45:01I want to get over there.
00:45:02I want to get over there.
00:45:03I want to get over there.
00:45:04Oh...
00:45:05A-
00:45:05Oh, oh, you look wonderful.
00:45:15You really think so?
00:45:18Just, just do it.
00:45:20Start life over.
00:45:21Throw away all that old baggage and clutter.
00:45:23Just, just change.
00:45:24You think we could?
00:45:26As far from here as I want snow.
00:45:29Snow?
00:45:31Snow?
00:45:32I want snow.
00:45:33I have some friends in New Hampshire.
00:45:36Walt and Maggie.
00:45:38They're really nice people.
00:45:38I could call them and ask them if they could find us a place to live.
00:45:41Yeah.
00:45:42You'd have snow and if, if winter doesn't come, I'll buy you snow.
00:45:48All the snow you want.
00:45:49Hell, anything you want.
00:45:50I want it.
00:45:51Yeah, I want it.
00:45:52I want snow for snowball fights and cozy fires.
00:45:55Don't.
00:45:56Robbie, will you marry me?
00:46:03Don't be afraid of change, dear.
00:46:12I've ordered new furniture.
00:46:16These shades just don't do.
00:46:19Everything's fine.
00:46:20I like everything just the way it is.
00:46:21I'm thinking of something peachy.
00:46:24What do you think, Maggie?
00:46:26I've always been partial to peach myself.
00:46:30How much is all this going to cost?
00:46:33Money?
00:46:34Cost?
00:46:35That was bothering you?
00:46:37No.
00:46:38No, I mean, money doesn't mean anything to me.
00:46:41Never has, never will.
00:46:42Just get a job then.
00:46:44You know, Robbie, there's a job open where I work at Central School.
00:46:48They've been awfully good to Maggie over the years.
00:46:50You gals could have fun.
00:46:52You don't need to get a job.
00:46:53We've got plenty of money and...
00:46:55You don't want me barefoot and pregnant, do you?
00:47:03Well, Walt, you don't want Maggie barefoot and pregnant.
00:47:10Yes, sir.
00:47:12Let's get myself a job.
00:47:15You think you're going to keep me under your thumb?
00:47:18I am so sad, Maggie.
00:47:24Well, you should fit right in.
00:47:26We have a nice group here.
00:47:27There's been a lot of here, Lord, to death.
00:47:30You know, I've been so many places, blessed as I was.
00:47:34My first husband, a lawyer, was quite wealthy.
00:47:39He got an automobile wreck with my two-chan.
00:47:42I'm sorry.
00:47:51I'll steal out the condo in Aspen, but I doubt I'll ever see Paris again.
00:47:57Oh, that's too bad.
00:48:01It's jobs, godsend.
00:48:03Idle hands the devil's mischief will do.
00:48:06Yes, that's true.
00:48:11Well, all I need now is for you to fill in this W-4 form.
00:48:15Name, address, and social security number, okay?
00:48:24Oh, yes.
00:48:26Of course.
00:48:28You can bring it back later if you like.
00:48:30Thanks.
00:48:35Thanks a lot, Maggie.
00:48:52That's very lovely.
00:48:54You're a woman of many layers.
00:48:56Yes.
00:49:00You're so good to me.
00:49:26You're so good to me.
00:49:28My...
00:49:52My sister Terry, she'll keep the condo we have in Aspen.
00:49:56And if that inheritance ever comes through, I swear those Texans act like it's theirs instead of mine and Terry's.
00:50:03Robbie!
00:50:04Telephone.
00:50:05Excuse me.
00:50:06I'm back.
00:50:10God, I'm sick of that woman's trials and tribulations.
00:50:14I think she's sweet.
00:50:16She's just, you know, had some trouble, Maggie.
00:50:20Hello?
00:50:21Well, I was expecting you to call.
00:50:25I think she is trouble.
00:50:27Lived her life for over a year now.
00:50:30Hers and that lapdog husband of hers.
00:50:33Well, I love you too.
00:50:35It's him on the phone now.
00:50:37Hi, honey.
00:50:38Just called to say I love you.
00:50:42Well, I like her.
00:50:43I love you too.
00:50:44I love you too.
00:50:45I love you too.
00:50:46I love you too.
00:50:47I love you too.
00:50:48I love you too.
00:50:49I love you too.
00:50:50I love you too.
00:50:51Robbie, that social security number of yours, something's wrong.
00:50:56The computer seems to kick it out and payroll is having some problems.
00:50:59Could you call them?
00:51:00I think you called them.
00:51:30I've got some tickets, so would you like to come on, love?
00:51:35I just can't believe how much weight I put on.
00:51:38Well, a happy marriage does that to you.
00:51:43Rhonda, I feel somehow that you are a trustful, decent human being.
00:51:50And I've never told anyone this, but somehow I feel I need to share with you.
00:51:58I have an incurable blood disease.
00:52:02I've known for some time.
00:52:04It's progressive.
00:52:06Oh.
00:52:08Robbie.
00:52:11I'm so sorry.
00:52:20The doctors in Boston recommend a specialist in Dallas.
00:52:24Great.
00:52:25Then we'll go.
00:52:26No, no, no.
00:52:27I'll go alone.
00:52:28I've talked to Terry in Dallas and she can take care of me.
00:52:32It's better this way.
00:52:34I'd like if you'd take care of the house.
00:52:39Your husband.
00:52:40I want to be with you.
00:52:41I want to be there for whatever...
00:52:42I've had so much grief and tragedy in my life.
00:52:45Should anything happen, I want to spare us both the maudlin painful motions we feel we'd have to go through.
00:52:54And just remember the best things, John.
00:53:02Come on.
00:53:12You should not be going through this by yourself.
00:53:14With faith.
00:53:15Terry will take good care of me.
00:53:16We'll call every day.
00:53:20I can't shake the feeling that I'm never going to see you.
00:53:23God works in many ways.
00:53:25Things always work out for the best.
00:53:28My heart and my thoughts will be with you.
00:53:32I love you.
00:53:33I love you.
00:53:44I love you.
00:53:45No way.
00:53:46No way.
00:53:47I love you.
00:53:48No way.
00:53:49No way.
00:53:50I love you.
00:53:51No way.
00:53:52No way.
00:53:54No way.
00:53:55It's a beschäftigenment.
00:53:56No way.
00:53:57I love you.
00:53:58No way.
00:54:00No way.
00:54:01No way.
00:54:03You're not going through the camera.
00:54:04No way.
00:54:05John, this is Terry.
00:54:18Yes, Terry.
00:54:19It's over.
00:54:21I'm sorry.
00:54:23Oh, no.
00:54:27She went quietly and easily.
00:54:30It was her hope that you and I meet to console one another in our grief.
00:54:35Whatever.
00:54:39Whatever she wanted.
00:54:41Yeah, whatever.
00:54:44I'll fly in day after tomorrow.
00:54:47She sent her love.
00:54:49I'll bring it to you.
00:55:05Oh, Robbie.
00:55:11Arriving passenger Martin, please meet your party at the information desk.
00:55:17Arriving passenger Martin, please meet your party at the information desk.
00:55:26All right.
00:55:28Okay.
00:55:29Your attention will be...
00:55:32Robbie?
00:55:34Jerry?
00:55:35John.
00:55:38John.
00:55:40Hi.
00:55:42My God, she said you were identical twins, but that's incredible.
00:55:46I know, people are always saying that.
00:55:48Joan, I want you to know she was very brave.
00:55:52And she loved you very much, and I can see why.
00:55:54You give off the aura of a very kind man.
00:55:59Non-smoking flight.
00:56:00It's Robbie's brand.
00:56:02But I smoked twice as many of.
00:56:03It's been a howering ordeal.
00:56:04You, uh, you have any luggage?
00:56:07Bits.
00:56:10She wanted me to remember her to everyone at work.
00:56:16It's beautiful up here.
00:56:19I've never been to New England before.
00:56:22I feel so...
00:56:23so homey.
00:56:26And what if she liked it?
00:56:30She loved the snow.
00:56:32For her.
00:56:33Not me.
00:56:41Died after a long illness.
00:56:45Dallas.

00:57:09and Terry Martin of Dallas.
00:57:13No funeral.
00:57:18Requested her body be donated to the Medical Research Institute of Texas.
00:57:23She told me so much of all of you.
00:57:41She wanted me to come and remember herself to you.
00:57:44Who's Rhonda?
00:57:47Who's Rhonda?
00:57:51Hi.
00:57:53And you?
00:57:55Maggie.
00:57:59It's Maggie, Robbie.
00:58:01And you know it.
00:58:05Terry.
00:58:05I'm her twin sister, Terry.
00:58:08And I've been called Robbie once.
00:58:09I've been called her a cillion times.
00:58:15You were her dearest, closest friend.
00:58:20Why?
00:58:22I'd like to stay a while and talk to you about her when I can,
00:58:25but my main concern now is John.
00:58:35Bye now.
00:58:36What the hell is she doing?
00:58:53What?
00:58:54Who?
00:58:54That woman.
00:58:56That's not any Terry Martin.
00:58:57That's Robbie.
00:58:59What are you talking about?
00:59:01Robbie's dead.
00:59:02You're crazy.
00:59:04What is that woman up to?
00:59:07What's he up to?
00:59:10How could he be that stupid?
00:59:13Maggie, she's an identical twin.
00:59:15I saw a show once on twins, and you couldn't tell me...
00:59:17That's Robbie.
00:59:18I know it is.
00:59:20Let me see that obituary again.
00:59:22Fine.
00:59:32Hello?
00:59:45Hello?
00:59:50Stop doing this.
00:59:53Do you hear me?
00:59:54Do you hear me?
00:59:55I'd like to watch you eat.
01:00:13John, this is going to be very hard for me.
01:00:23But somehow I think Robbie would want it this way.
01:00:27Um, I've, um, fallen in love with this little village.
01:00:40The people.
01:00:42I'd be lying if I said that I didn't feel...
01:00:47Feel a strong attraction to you.
01:00:52Claire, hope you don't think ill of me.
01:00:57It's just...
01:01:01Oh, I don't know.
01:01:04We have so much in common.
01:01:17Maybe.
01:01:20Maybe for just a little while.
01:01:23Seems so right.
01:01:25I know.
01:01:25I mean, it's as if Robbie came back to life in you.
01:01:31I can feel the spirit flowing in me.
01:01:34Out to you.
01:01:36Can't help it.
01:01:37I can feel the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit
01:02:07Can I ask you a question?
01:02:09Of course.
01:02:11I don't know. It's kind of naughty.
01:02:17Yeah.
01:02:19Go ahead.
01:02:21Am I
01:02:29as
01:02:31romantic
01:02:33and
01:02:35as
01:02:37good as
01:02:39Ronnie?
01:02:41You are.
01:02:45You're different.
01:02:47You're different
01:02:49from anybody I've ever been with before.
01:03:09She's what?
01:03:11She stayed
01:03:13and got a job in
01:03:15Rattleboro?
01:03:17Where is she now?
01:03:19She's at John's.
01:03:21I just saw her at lunch.
01:03:33Hello Terry.
01:03:35It's Maggie.
01:03:37I'm fine.
01:03:39How are you?
01:03:41Well, I called.
01:03:43Well, we girls.
01:03:45We'd like to send our condolences to your sister.
01:03:47You know Jean Anne?
01:03:49Oh, it's no problem.
01:03:51What's her address?
01:03:53Well, I think she just moved.
01:03:57Well, I have to call her to find out.
01:04:01Well, you really need to concern yourself.
01:04:05Well, you're a dear.
01:04:07Bye.
01:04:11Damn.
01:04:13Rhonda.
01:04:15Rhonda.
01:04:17Yeah?
01:04:18Well, I've been on the phone and you all thought I was nuts.
01:04:21I've written it all down.
01:04:22Read it.
01:04:23Does that satisfy you?
01:04:25There is no medical research institute.
01:04:28There is no sacred heart church in Tyler, Texas.
01:04:32What?
01:04:33And there is no Gene and Trevor in White Plains, New York.
01:04:36And there is no record of death in and about Dallas, Texas.
01:04:42Read one Robbie Holden.
01:04:45Excuse me, ma'am.
01:04:46Excuse me, ma'am.
01:04:47Excuse me, ma'am.
01:04:48Ma'am.
01:04:49Ma'am, pardon me.
01:04:50Excuse me, ma'am.
01:04:51Ma'am.
01:04:52Ma'am, pardon me.
01:04:53Excuse me, ma'am.
01:04:54I'm Tom Blakely from the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
01:04:55We have reason to believe that you are somebody other than who you say you are.
01:05:15I can understand that.
01:05:17that you are somebody
01:05:18other than who you say you are.
01:05:21I can understand that.
01:05:23Would you accompany us
01:05:25to police headquarters, please?
01:05:27Of course.
01:05:29Right around this way
01:05:29to the blue cock, please.
01:05:33Who are you?
01:05:35Audrey Marie Healy.
01:05:38Are you running or hiding
01:05:40from something we should know about,
01:05:42Miss Lee?
01:05:42Nothing much.
01:05:43A little tech charge.
01:05:44Where was that?
01:05:45Alabama.
01:05:47You've run a long way
01:05:51for a little bad paper,
01:05:53Miss Lee.
01:05:55Well, it's ridiculous
01:05:56what they accuse me of.
01:06:00Do you know how hard it is to hide?
01:06:03Every few months
01:06:04you have to quit every job you have
01:06:05because your phony
01:06:06social security number
01:06:07kicks back.
01:06:09What did you do, Miss Lee?
01:06:11It's ridiculous.
01:06:14I was her own mother.
01:06:15I mean, it's absurd.
01:06:19What's absurd?
01:06:21You know how hard it is to run?
01:06:24To hide?
01:06:26It's very tiring.
01:06:28I'm glad it's over.
01:06:30Well, it's not, Miss Healy.
01:06:31If I murder one
01:06:32and attempt to poison her.
01:06:35Lady, you're Alabama-bound.
01:06:37I'd really rather not go back there.
01:06:40Step into the car, Miss Lee.
01:06:41I'm glad you played me for a fool, Terry.
01:07:05Terry, Robbie, Marie.
01:07:07John, my real name
01:07:09is Audrey Marie Healy.
01:07:12I didn't play you for a fool.
01:07:14I can't believe this.
01:07:17Did you...
01:07:19Did you do those things
01:07:21they say you did?
01:07:23Marie?
01:07:25Of course, I didn't do those things.
01:07:28It's all nonsense.
01:07:29It's a conspiracy.
01:07:30My in-laws and the police.
01:07:31I had a little problem with money,
01:07:32but I certainly didn't kill anyone.
01:07:34Well, why...
01:07:36Why didn't you trust me enough
01:07:39to tell me?
01:07:40Tell me the truth.
01:07:41I wanted to protect you
01:07:43to save what we had.
01:07:47I did it because I...
01:07:49I don't think you're good.
01:08:13Why didn't you tell me?
01:08:16Could have helped.
01:08:16Could have helped you.
01:08:17I was afraid of losing you.
01:08:22You're a decent,
01:08:24kind,
01:08:25loving husband.
01:08:28And I'm all alone
01:08:29except for you.
01:08:32All alone in this world.
01:08:35No, you're not.
01:08:37No, you have me.
01:08:38No, you're not.
01:09:02How's she going to plead, Mr. Fowler?
01:09:05Mrs. Hilley denies all the charges.
01:09:07Mrs. Hilley, if you're not guilty,
01:09:09who do you think committed the murder?
01:09:10Now comment.
01:09:12Mr. Fowler, why don't you ask her to change the venue?
01:09:15So long, gentlemen. We'll be right in.
01:09:16How about motions? Are you going to file any more motions?
01:09:19Call your first witness, Mr. Hubbard.
01:09:23Prosecution calls.
01:09:24Carol Hilley.
01:09:32When you first became ill,
01:09:59what were your symptoms?
01:10:02Just throwing up.
01:10:04Just throwing up.
01:10:07How often would you throw up?
01:10:12Hours and hours.
01:10:14It would stop, and then it would go on forever, for weeks.
01:10:18Did your mother give you injections at any time?
01:10:23Yes. My mom said she'd gotten something to make the nausea go away.
01:10:28Did it?
01:10:31No, sir.
01:10:40Did at any time anyone suggest that your symptoms might be psychological?
01:10:45Yes. I was put in a psychiatric ward.
01:10:50Did your mother give you injections there?
01:10:53Yes, sir.
01:10:55I just wanted to go home, but the doctors kept telling me it was in my head,
01:11:00and I couldn't go home until I could walk or gained 15 or 20 pounds.
01:11:07It didn't look good.
01:11:08And so my mom said one time there was this little girl who had the same problem,
01:11:17and a nurse gave her a shot,
01:11:21and it helped this little girl.
01:11:27Mama said it would help my legs.
01:11:29And your mother told you not to tell anybody?
01:11:37Yes, sir.
01:11:38Did you find relief?
01:11:41Well, it was just getting worse.
01:11:43Then they told me my mother couldn't see me anymore.
01:11:47And then your mother took you out of that hospital.
01:11:50Well, how did you get around?
01:11:54My mother, she would just sort of drag me.
01:11:58I wanted to go home.
01:12:01Just go home and die.
01:12:04But you didn't go home.
01:12:06Where did you go?
01:12:08UAB.
01:12:08When was the first time you were told what was wrong with you?
01:12:14At UAB.
01:12:17It was arsenic poisoning.
01:12:19How long were you in physical therapy because of arsenic poisoning?
01:12:26Ten months.
01:12:29I couldn't walk.
01:12:32My hands were numb.
01:12:35I couldn't dress myself.
01:12:38I just kept trying.
01:12:44Did you ever experience nausea or vomiting
01:12:48when your mother gave you food?
01:12:53All the time that summer.
01:12:57Day after day.
01:12:59Week after week.
01:13:03Carol, I want you to try and think back to April 19th.
01:13:08Would you like to take a little break?
01:13:14We can take a recess or we can just stop for a minute.
01:13:19Which would you rather?
01:13:20We break.
01:13:23Prosecution requests a short recess, Your Honor.
01:13:25I think that's fine, Counselor.
01:13:27Court will recess for 15 minutes.
01:13:28If Marie Hilley had intended to kill her daughter, she would have taken the girl home and let her die.
01:13:40Not taking her to hospital after hospital after hospital and doctor after doctor.
01:13:48The girl is suicidal as we have shown.
01:13:49And if money was a so-called motive, Mrs. Hilley would have bought a much larger policy.
01:13:57Wouldn't you think?
01:13:58It was a concerned wife and mother who took first her husband, then later her daughter, to the hospital when they became ill.
01:14:13Who unhesitatingly consented to an autopsy.
01:14:18I ask you to do your duty and find the defendant not guilty.
01:14:32Carol Hilley loves her mother.
01:14:46God made that bond.
01:14:48Carol did not break that bond.
01:14:52Marie Hilley broke that bond when she took it into her own hands to dispose of the child that she bore for money.
01:15:02She's not your ordinary housewife.
01:15:09Looks like one.
01:15:12Acted like one.
01:15:14But that's not what she really is.
01:15:16What she really is.
01:15:19Is a cold-blooded.
01:15:22Murderess.
01:15:25Of course she agreed to an autopsy of Frank Hilley.
01:15:28Unless you look specifically for it.
01:15:32You won't find arsenic poisoning.
01:15:34It mimics hundreds of things.
01:15:38She knew this.
01:15:40And she murdered this fine man.
01:15:43For $31,000.
01:15:47And having gone through this money in short order.
01:15:49She attempted the same thing again with the daughter that she brought into this world for $25,000.
01:16:00One more dose.
01:16:03And Carol Hilley would have been in the ground.
01:16:07Right next to her dear dead daddy.
01:16:09This crime is nearly unspeakable.
01:16:17Look at her.
01:16:20Look at her.
01:16:23She is not your ordinary mother.
01:16:26She is a cold, calculating, cunning, killer.
01:16:48That concludes the final argument, so we'll take a short recess.
01:16:52After which I will instruct the jury as to the appropriate law for this case.
01:16:57Then you may retire to deliberate on your verdict.
01:17:09Carol.
01:17:11I love you.
01:17:13Leave her alone, Marie.
01:17:14Come see me.
01:17:15And having been found guilty on all counts, of murder in the first degree, and of attempted poisoning,
01:17:32I hereby sentence you to life and 20 years imprisonment at the Julia Tutwiler State Prison for Women in Wetumpka.
01:17:41This court is now adjourned.
01:18:15Oh, my hair must look a mess.
01:18:35I should do something with it.
01:18:36They've been taking pictures and all.
01:18:39How could you have done this to me?
01:18:42Done what?
01:18:43I'm your daughter.
01:18:50Don't you have anything to say?
01:18:54I couldn't call you.
01:18:58You must know why.
01:19:13How could you think that?
01:19:22It's preposterous.
01:19:23It's untrue.
01:19:24Now, calm down, Marie.
01:19:25The report may be of no merit, and if that's so, it won't affect your request for a three-day furlough.
01:19:30But I have never talked to anyone regarding escape.
01:19:33I have done everything asked of me in the last three years.
01:19:36Marie, your executive skills, your leadership, your artwork are an inspiration to us all.
01:19:42I don't want your admiration.
01:19:44I want your trust.
01:19:45I am so disappointed that you would think that I would even think of escaping.
01:19:54All right.
01:19:56Now, calm down, okay?
01:19:59I'll look into the report, and I'll see what I can do.
01:20:04Okay?
01:20:07Thank you, Warden.
01:21:10It's not that way.
01:21:20It's not exactly a four-star hotel, is it?
01:21:28You're here, I'm here.
01:21:30It's all that matters, John.
01:21:34I missed you, sir.
01:21:35Good morning.
01:21:48Good morning.
01:21:49Good morning, Marie.
01:21:53What are you doing?
01:21:54Well, I don't want to wake you.
01:21:57See, the truth is, I've been laid off.
01:22:01I had to return the rental car this morning.
01:22:03I'm going to take you back on this.
01:22:05You can't be serious.
01:22:06You can't be serious.
01:22:13Wait, Marie?
01:22:15Marie?
01:22:16Marie?
01:22:17I'm sorry.
01:22:19I'm sorry, Marie.
01:22:21There's nothing I can do.
01:22:24There's nothing...
01:22:24I'm hungry.
01:22:40I'm hungry.
01:22:42Sure, honey.
01:22:43I'll just run out and get whatever you want.
01:22:48Whatever.
01:22:50Are you sure?
01:23:13I could be there then.
01:23:14I'll meet you when I can.
01:23:24What'd you get?
01:23:26Biscuits and gravy.
01:23:28Who's that?
01:23:28On the phone.
01:23:29Dodie.
01:23:30Dodie?
01:23:31Dodie.
01:23:32Just what I said.
01:23:33She wants to visit my parents' graves with me.
01:23:35Well, I can take you.
01:23:37I have to do this alone.
01:23:38I'll be back.
01:23:39Yo, Marie.
01:23:40Marie.
01:23:41Marie.
01:23:42Marie.
01:23:43Marie.
01:23:44Marie.
01:23:47You can't come.
01:24:18Lieutenant Gary Carroll, please.
01:24:22Thank you, John.
01:24:24I got Birmingham Airport on the board, all the bus depots, and Amtrak.
01:24:27Last time she stole the car.
01:24:29Yeah, I got her description out on the radio.
01:24:31I'll call Carroll. Can we get a car up there to watch her?
01:24:33Sure thing.
01:24:33All right.
01:24:34Okay.
01:24:48Give me this kid off.
01:24:50Hey, come on.
01:24:51Come on, Earl.
01:24:52We'll find her.
01:24:53Find her.
01:24:54Come on.
01:24:56Yeah, come on.
01:24:56You mean to tell me that you were going to take her back 100 miles on a motorcycle in this weather?
01:25:16I had a raincoat for her.
01:25:17Who is Dodie?
01:25:23Don't know.
01:25:24You bet you don't.
01:25:26There isn't any Dodie.
01:25:28How much money did she have?
01:25:31Did I know?
01:25:34Three bucks.
01:25:34Because she's gone.
01:25:37Vanished.
01:25:40Like a spider through a crack in the floor.
01:25:45How long is she going to be gone this time, John?
01:25:49I mean, you seem to know her.
01:25:51If that woman could ever be known.
01:25:53Miss Holman said that she went to visit her parents' graves with Dodie.
01:26:09Dodie?
01:26:10Yes, Dodie.
01:26:11Who is she?
01:26:12I don't know.
01:26:13Mama didn't know anybody named Dodie.
01:26:15Carroll, think.
01:26:18Think real hard.
01:26:20There's got to be somebody that we have overlooked.
01:26:23I told you, I don't know.
01:26:26Don't you understand?
01:26:27I don't know anything about my mother.
01:26:29I don't know anything about my mother.
01:26:53Cardiac arrest due to acute hypothermia.
01:27:16Excuse me, gentlemen.
01:27:22I don't figure it.
01:27:24What?
01:27:25A woman who never spent five minutes in the woods her entire life.
01:27:29She must have been waiting for somebody and he didn't show up.
01:27:31She could have been long gone.
01:27:37It's ironic, Gary.
01:27:39What is?
01:27:40She spent a whole life trying to get away from here.
01:27:43And she crawls back to the very shack she was born in to die.
01:27:48The real cause of Marie Hilly's death and her three days in the woods remain a mystery to this day.
01:28:07In 1989, John Holman was murdered in a bizarre robbery attempt at the old hotel in Maniston, Alabama, where he remained after the death of his beloved Marie.
01:28:17Carol Hilly survives.
01:28:20He founded a cult of love.
01:28:27These are my concubines.
01:28:29Makes my skin crawl.
01:28:30But she saw through his lies.
01:28:32It's Moses who did this to you.
01:28:33No.
01:28:34Quebec police have a file name of my own law.
01:28:35Based on a true story of hidden evil.
01:28:38Next on LNN.
01:28:41A weekend reunion brings together five best friends who reveal their most intimate secrets.
01:28:46I did something illegal.
01:28:47But what started out as a weekend of bonding ended in blackmail.
01:28:52It was one of us.
01:28:54Tomorrow at 8.
