"Murder, She Wrote" Danse Diabolique (TV Episode 1992) - Ernie Lively as SFPD Lt. Martin Kinicki

Jessica Fletcher : You may want to take a look at the young woman's hands. She seems to have sustained a puncture wound. on the palms of her hands. Probably caused from grasping a thorn on the rose that she used in her dance. I expect you'll want to test the rose for poison.

SFPD Lt. Martin Kinicki : And you are?

Jessica Fletcher : Jessica Fletcher.

SFPD Lt. Martin Kinicki : [smiles] I thought that was you. My wife reads all your books.
Jessica Fletcher : You made such a point, Edward, that you were doing the ballet *exactly* as it had originally been staged. But the film showed the ballerina never touching the skull. Yet, you staged the dance so that Lily would clutch the skull.

SFPD Lt. Martin Kinicki : The one with the needles that you laced with thallium.

Jessica Fletcher : Puncturing her palms and killing her within a matter of seconds.
Jessica Fletcher : What... Didn't you see what happened?

SFPD Lt. Martin Kinicki : Yeah, a bunch of people jumping around flapping their arms. Which they do a lot of in ballet.
Jessica Fletcher : Well, it's just that there's something I can't quite put my finger on that's not right.

SFPD Lt. Martin Kinicki : Yeah. It's all these guys prancing around in their long underwear.
