Video of Jennifer Garner singing as Billie ‘Vaughn’ Dupree.

The song is “Someone to watch over me”. [S3E13 - “Pool”]

The thing I love the most about this moment is the fact that when she sings she may refer to her father Marvin but also to Jarod, who as usual, behaved like a Guardian Angel and literally 'watched over her' during the episode.

Such a sweet and emotional ending...

A nice comparison of Jen singing in both tv shows.

Well, in tP she didn't have such a lovely red-purple wig :)

Alias - The Pretender comparison - XI I do love the fact she's called Billie 'Vaughn'. At the end, her real last name was 'Dupree', but she's been called Vaughn for a lifetime, so...

=)

Jennifer Garner sings as Billie 'Vaughn' Dupree. The song is "Someone to watch over me". [The Pretender - S3E13 - "Pool"]

... There's a somebody I'm longin' to see I hope that he, turns out to be Someone who'll watch over me Where is that someone, to watch over me ...

Earl: I wanna thank you all for coming out on this cold Memphis night. We got a special treat for you this evening. Billie: I can’t do this. Jarod: Of course you can. Just keep your father close to your heart. You’ll be just fine. Earl: Please put your hands together and give a warm welcome to Miss Billie Dupree. Billie: I’d like to dedicate this song to my father, Marvin Dupree, and to the man who helped me find him. Thank you, Jarod. [3.13 - Pool]

Billie: Well don’t cha? Jarod: Billie what are you doing? Billie: Well don’t ya? I’m waitin’ for an answer Fontenot. Fontenot: Yes a handsome couple. Jarod: Billie, don’t do this. Billie: Stay out of it Jarod! Earl: Billie he’s right. Billie: You too Earl. Not even God can save him now. Jarod: Billie please. Billie: Tell me how you did it. How you murdered my father in cold blood. Fontenot: She’s crazy. Billie: Tell me! Fontenot: Talk to her. Billie: I want to hear you say it! Now. Fontenot: All right! Yes, yes, I killed him. I killed Marvin! And I’d kill the little animal again if I could. Billie: Get out of the way Jarod. Please. Please. Get … Jarod: Would your father want you to do this? End the hate here, Billie. [3.13 - Pool]

Jarod: Well that’s not your average scrap book. Earl: After Marvin was killed, I collected every scrap of information I could on Fontenot...tryin’ to figure out what would possess a man to murder out of pure hate. I found  answer in an old Huntsville newspaper. Jarod: I’ve seen that picture. It’s in a frame in Fontenot’s pool room. Earl: Fontenot’s daddy. White sheets, burning crosses. Jarod: Fontenot’s father was a member of the Klu Klux Klan. Earl: According to people who would know. Jarod: I paid a visit to Fontenot’s house tonight. He has two newly patched bullet holes in his the wall and he laid down a brand new carpet. Earl: To cover up Marvin’s blood? Jarod: He was trying to cover up something. But he’s not the only one. You told me that Billie’s mother left her fiancé a few days before the wedding and ran off with Marvin? Earl: That’s right. Jarod: Well you left out a pretty important detail from that story. You told me that Marvin was Billie’s father but you didn’t tell me that Eddie Fontenot was the fiancé. Billie: Marvin was my daddy? Jarod: Billie... Billie: Marvin was my daddy? Earl: Billie. Billie: No! No more lies. [3.13 - Pool]

Billie: It’s not the shot that you’re hittin’ you need to think about. It’s the one three strokes ahead. Nine on the side. Remember pool is a mind game. Make your opponent think about you and his game is lost. Can you do that? Jarod: You tell me. [3.13 - Pool]

Billie: Alright let’s pick you out a cue. Okay? That’s for you. See? Good. Okay. Fingers. Great. Now turn your hips into it and explode into the shot. Jarod: Uh. Billie: Not bad. Jarod: I’ll...I’ll get it. [3.13 - Pool]

Jarod: A dream can only die if the dreamer allows it to. Billie, I’d like to help you find the truth behind Marvin’s killing. Billie: How do you plan to do that? Jarod: If I can hustle my way into Eddie Fontenot’s world like Marvin did maybe I can find some evidence that would connect him to the killings. Billie: You play pool? Jarod: Well I’m familiar the architectural theory of dynamic symmetry, as well as Descartes’ theory of coordinate geometry, um, lines, angles. Billie: Have you ever chalked a cue? Jarod: Excuse me? Billie: You can put away your math books Mr Pepper. They may help you learn how to play pool but they can’t make you a pool player. Jarod: No. But you can. Billie: Me? Jarod: Do it for Marvin. [3.13 - Pool]

Billie: What do you really want here Mr Pepper? Jarod: I don’t want anything. And my name is Jarod. Earl said that Marvin was like a father to you. What happened to your real family? Billie: My daddy died in a car accident when I was a baby. Momma got sick and passed a few years later. There was no other family. Marvin was their best friend so he adopted me. Jarod: It’s lucky for you. Billie: See this picture? I’d just gotten the lead in “My Fair Lady” at my high school which was a big deal because I was only a sophomore. Marvin stands up at the club and tells everybody how proud he is of me. Marvin: Uh listen up ladies and gentlemen. My little Billie is going to play the lead in the high school play. You should hear this girl sing. She’s got her mother’s golden voice. I’m so proud of you Billie. Billie: He always wanted me to become a singer just like my mother. That dream died in the alley along with Marvin. [3.13 - Pool]

Earl: It’s no fancy hotel but it’s warm and it’s clean. Jarod: Oh, I appreciate the hospitality. Earl: People didn’t always make it easy for those two but through good times and bad Marvin loved that little girl. Jarod: It shows. Earl: That’s her now. Got a voice of serenity and a heart of turmoil. Billie: When you remember me I hope it makes you smile. Jarod: You sing like an angel. Billie: You still here? Earl: Mr Pepper gonna be staying with us for a while. You mind your manners now. [3.13 - Pool]

Earl: Girl have you lost your mind? You don’t point a gun at a man like Eddie Fontenot unless you plan to pull the trigger. Billie: I did. Damn it Earl. Marvin was your brother! You owe him better than this. And you should mind your own business. [3.13 - Pool]

Billie: Earl? Earl: Billie. Billie: Who let that murderer in here? Earl: You know as well as I do that there’s no stopping Eddie Fontenot. Sometimes it’s better to see the devil than to guess where he is.

Fontenot: Whoo, he don’t appreciate that. Billie: This is for you Marvin. Jarod: Give me that. You don’t want to shoot that man. [3.13 - Pool]
