| 0:00.0 | Hello, welcome to Hollywood crime scene. This is Rachel Fisher. |
| 0:03.6 | This is Desi Jettigan. We're back with her final episode on Mickey Rooney. |
| 0:09.0 | My sources, once again, for this episode, Our Life is Too Short by Mickey Rooney, |
| 0:13.6 | and The Life in Times of Mickey Rooney by Richard A. Lertsman. |
| 0:18.0 | So let's see what a raffle God has in store for Mickey now. Where we left off, |
| 0:25.4 | after his estranged wife is killed and a murder suicide committed by her lover, Milosevic, |
