It blew up as she flushed.
The seat missed her head by an inch.
1:25:07
I'm all right, J.J.
1:25:09
J.J.?
1:25:14
That's right, folks.
He outsmarted us all.
1:25:17
Sitting behind that desk
is the real Sam Diamond.
1:25:22
My name is Loomis.
1:25:23
J.J. Loomis. I'm an actor.
I do impressions.
1:25:27
I did the Carson show
six times last year.
1:25:30
Diamond hired me for the weekend.
1:25:33
Miss Skeffington
is Vilma Norman.
1:25:35
She's a cocktail waitress
at the Water Bed Motel in Carmel.
1:25:41
Diamond hated all of you.
1:25:43
You're getting big money, and he
had that office in San Francisco.
1:25:47
If he proved he was number one,
he'd get your clients.
1:25:50
But since l put
all the pieces together...
1:25:55
...l figure that money belongs to me.
1:25:59
Isn't that right, Mr. Diamond?
1:26:04
Wrong.
1:26:06
That would've been so obvious,
a child could have guessed.
1:26:10
No, colleagues.
What you seem to overlook...
1:26:13
...is the most simple
and direct solution.
1:26:16
That l am indeed Lionel Twain.
1:26:22
You've all been so clever
for so long...
1:26:27
...you've forgotten to be humble.
1:26:29
You've tricked and fooled
your readers for years.
1:26:33
You've tortured us with
surprise endings that made no sense.
1:26:36
You've introduced characters at the
end that weren't in the book before!
1:26:42
You've withheld
clues and information...
1:26:45
...that made it impossible for us
to guess who did it.
1:26:49
But now the tables are turned.
1:26:53
Millions of angry mystery readers...
1:26:57
...are now getting their revenge.
