1
00:02:00,388 --> 00:02:02,948
A laboratory experiment explodes...
2
00:02:03,057 --> 00:02:05,719
transforming everyday
scientist Mark Slate...
3
00:02:05,827 --> 00:02:07,852
into the Atomic Man...
4
00:02:07,962 --> 00:02:12,399
a force with such power
the world has never known.
5
00:02:41,696 --> 00:02:43,926
Mark uses
his superhuman strength...
6
00:02:44,032 --> 00:02:48,162
to rid the world of crime and injustice
wherever he finds it...
7
00:02:48,269 --> 00:02:52,672
in an endless battle
to bring peace to mankind.
8
00:02:59,981 --> 00:03:05,442
What you've just seen is a clip from
the original Atomic Man TV series.
9
00:03:05,553 --> 00:03:09,114
A series that,
in spite of poor direction...
10
00:03:09,224 --> 00:03:13,490
simplistic writing and, at best,
adequate acting by the lead...
11
00:03:13,595 --> 00:03:18,532
is enjoying phenomenal success
in syndication today.
12
00:03:18,633 --> 00:03:20,794
Why?
13
00:03:20,902 --> 00:03:23,370
Heroes.
14
00:03:25,073 --> 00:03:27,701
People wanted them then.
15
00:03:27,809 --> 00:03:29,936
People need them now.
16
00:03:30,044 --> 00:03:35,778
When I first saw Atomic Man, I knew I would
one day make it into a big-budget feature...
17
00:03:35,883 --> 00:03:39,080
but only if I had
the right actor.
18
00:03:40,188 --> 00:03:43,248
My associate,
Jennifer Davenport-
19
00:03:47,295 --> 00:03:49,957
and I scoured the country...
20
00:03:50,064 --> 00:03:54,933
looking for the one man who could embody
the virtues of the Atomic Man...
21
00:03:55,036 --> 00:03:57,334
and yet still have
the look of the '80s.
22
00:03:57,438 --> 00:03:59,406
We didn't want
just another hunk.
23
00:03:59,507 --> 00:04:01,907
We wanted an actor
with ability.
24
00:04:02,010 --> 00:04:03,944
An actor with depth.
25
00:04:04,045 --> 00:04:06,570
An actor with sincerity.
26
00:04:06,681 --> 00:04:11,380
Ladies and gentlemen,
the star of Atomic Man: The Movie...
27
00:04:11,486 --> 00:04:13,454
Britt Bostwick.
28
00:04:16,891 --> 00:04:19,382
Wait a minute.!
Wait a minute.! Wait a minute.!
29
00:04:19,494 --> 00:04:21,962
That man is an impostor.
I'm Atomic Man.
30
00:04:22,063 --> 00:04:25,965
Uh, everybody, a hand
for my surprise guest...
31
00:04:26,067 --> 00:04:29,662
uh, a fine actor, who originally portrayed,
uh, Atomic Man...
32
00:04:29,771 --> 00:04:31,671
Maxwell Donahue.
33
00:04:31,773 --> 00:04:35,140
You can't treat me this way. I gave
the best years of my life to that character.
34
00:04:35,243 --> 00:04:38,269
I'm the only one who can play Atomic Man,
and I'm the only one who will.
35
00:04:38,379 --> 00:04:41,212
I love that man.
You're beautiful, Donahue.
36
00:04:41,316 --> 00:04:43,216
Yeah. Well, you're
a treacherous snake, Spooner.
37
00:04:43,318 --> 00:04:47,277
I'll kill ya before I'll let you
destroy my creation!
38
00:04:47,388 --> 00:04:49,618
So, you really think
it went well?
39
00:04:49,724 --> 00:04:51,624
They thought
you were terrific.
40
00:04:51,726 --> 00:04:54,524
They did, didn't they?
41
00:04:54,629 --> 00:04:56,722
Ah, I love this business.
42
00:04:58,366 --> 00:05:01,893
You don't think that has-been Donahue
brought things down, do you?
43
00:05:02,003 --> 00:05:05,530
- No. The press ate it up.
- Yeah.
44
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:09,906
And did you hear the reaction when they heard
I landed Roger Foreman to produce?
45
00:05:10,011 --> 00:05:12,809
Man's a legend.
Hasn't made a picture in a decade...
46
00:05:12,914 --> 00:05:15,712
and he comes out of retirement
to work with me.
47
00:05:15,817 --> 00:05:19,309
- Is that beautiful?
- Why didn't you tell me about Foreman?
48
00:05:21,389 --> 00:05:24,517
We're partners.
You direct, I produce.
49
00:05:24,625 --> 00:05:26,855
That's what you said
when we signed the papers.
50
00:05:26,961 --> 00:05:29,054
Listen, baby. It's not me.
51
00:05:29,163 --> 00:05:32,360
We're talking
a $25 million project.
52
00:05:32,467 --> 00:05:34,765
The studio wanted somebody
with experience.
53
00:05:34,869 --> 00:05:37,030
Well, this whole project
was my idea!
54
00:05:37,138 --> 00:05:39,663
I got the studio interested.
I got you involved.
55
00:05:39,774 --> 00:05:42,242
I went to the mat
to wrestle away the rights.
56
00:05:42,343 --> 00:05:44,334
And I'm gonna
take care of you, baby.
57
00:05:44,445 --> 00:05:47,710
I'm thinking of making you my assistant.
My executive assistant.
58
00:05:47,815 --> 00:05:51,080
Oh, so I can fetch your coffee
and polish your ego?
59
00:05:51,185 --> 00:05:54,154
No, thanks.
60
00:05:54,255 --> 00:05:58,214
Hey. You don't want to be a part of
this project, it's up to you.
61
00:06:02,230 --> 00:06:04,994
It's not only the project,
is it, Steven?
62
00:06:06,300 --> 00:06:08,200
It's us.
63
00:06:08,302 --> 00:06:10,463
You're bored with me.
64
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,569
I always did have
a short attention span.
65
00:06:14,675 --> 00:06:18,270
You're not getting rid of me
that easily.
66
00:06:18,379 --> 00:06:20,210
Baby, you're gone.
67
00:06:26,854 --> 00:06:28,754
Trumpet Fanfare]
68
00:06:28,856 --> 00:06:31,450
Though many evil forces have tried...
69
00:06:31,559 --> 00:06:36,622
none have yet discovered the secret source
of Atomic Man's great power.
70
00:06:40,535 --> 00:06:42,435
Atomic Man?
71
00:06:42,537 --> 00:06:45,131
Uh, I was just
waiting for the news.
72
00:06:45,239 --> 00:06:49,903
You know, a quick look at the day's events,
weather, stock market quotations.
73
00:06:50,011 --> 00:06:53,276
Our client, uh, Mooney, the carpet king,
is waiting in my office.
74
00:06:53,381 --> 00:06:56,077
I hope you know your cut pile
from your loop pile.
75
00:06:56,184 --> 00:06:59,585
- I'll just gather my notes.
- Ah.
76
00:06:59,687 --> 00:07:03,987
Go ahead and shoot.
You can't hurt me. I'm Atomic Man.
77
00:07:04,091 --> 00:07:08,619
I have a great power that radiates from
inside me and cannot be extinguished.
78
00:07:08,729 --> 00:07:10,629
Hmm. Wonderfully dreadful.
79
00:07:12,467 --> 00:07:14,435
That show is timeless.
80
00:07:14,535 --> 00:07:18,266
- Fan, are you?
- I used to watch it as a child.
81
00:07:18,372 --> 00:07:22,103
Purported all the values that-
that my mother wanted me to adopt:
82
00:07:22,210 --> 00:07:24,644
goodness, truth, justice-
83
00:07:24,745 --> 00:07:27,179
Chastity?
84
00:07:27,281 --> 00:07:32,947
As a matter of fact, it was those values that
I had in mind when I created Remington Steele.
85
00:07:33,054 --> 00:07:35,284
Oh. Well, I'm not sure
I like the fact...
86
00:07:35,389 --> 00:07:38,153
that my origins have come from
a comic book television hero.
87
00:07:38,259 --> 00:07:43,060
It was that television hero who in some part
inspired me to choose this profession.
88
00:07:43,164 --> 00:07:46,565
Oh. Well, lucky for
Mr. Mooney he had.
89
00:07:46,667 --> 00:07:49,795
Now, uh, what say
we join forces to, uh...
90
00:07:49,904 --> 00:07:53,067
you know, do battle with
the evil carpet thieves of the world, eh?
91
00:07:53,174 --> 00:07:55,074
Yeah.
92
00:08:00,214 --> 00:08:02,580
Sorry, pal.
Your name's not on the list.
93
00:08:02,683 --> 00:08:04,583
No. No. No. It has to be.
94
00:08:04,685 --> 00:08:08,382
Spooner's office called me no more than
an hour ago. You check with him. You'll see.
95
00:08:08,489 --> 00:08:10,684
All right.
96
00:08:13,694 --> 00:08:15,889
Isn't that the loon
they booted out of here?
97
00:08:18,065 --> 00:08:22,024
Steven Spooner's office.
98
00:08:22,136 --> 00:08:26,903
No. Absolutely not. No. The man
has been harassing Mr. Spooner for days.
99
00:08:27,008 --> 00:08:30,375
Thank you.
Oh. And-And be careful.
100
00:08:30,478 --> 00:08:32,446
He has a violent temper.
101
00:08:40,521 --> 00:08:43,319
- Sorry, pal.
- But this is ridiculous!
102
00:08:43,424 --> 00:08:47,019
I- I was told to get into my costume
and come down here and see Spooner...
103
00:08:47,128 --> 00:08:49,528
and that's exactly
what I'm gonna do.
104
00:08:49,630 --> 00:08:51,723
Hey. Hey. Sid!
105
00:08:51,832 --> 00:08:53,823
- Come on.
- Hey.
106
00:09:23,798 --> 00:09:26,062
Hazel.
107
00:09:26,167 --> 00:09:29,136
Would you mind doing my office now?
I have an important call to make.
108
00:09:29,236 --> 00:09:32,034
- I don't want to be interrupted.
- Oh. Sure thing, Miss Davenport.
109
00:09:32,139 --> 00:09:34,107
Thanks.
110
00:09:48,689 --> 00:09:50,623
Hazel.
111
00:09:50,725 --> 00:09:53,455
Can you see the time?
My contacts are making everything blurry.
112
00:09:53,561 --> 00:09:55,495
11:00 on the button.
113
00:09:55,596 --> 00:09:59,191
Oh. Just in time for Atomic Man.
Hey. Would you turn the set on, please?
114
00:09:59,300 --> 00:10:01,291
Oh. Sure thing.
115
00:10:30,464 --> 00:10:35,663
Go ahead and shoot. The power of the atom
is only realized when it is split.
116
00:10:45,012 --> 00:10:49,142
- Hazel, I have to make that call now.
- Hmm?
117
00:10:49,250 --> 00:10:51,912
Oh. Oh. Sure thing,
Miss Davenport.
118
00:11:34,628 --> 00:11:36,528
Jennifer?
119
00:11:39,633 --> 00:11:42,534
And don't call me baby!
120
00:11:57,485 --> 00:11:59,544
Hey. It's that kook
we just tossed.
121
00:12:36,724 --> 00:12:40,319
Ah. Hazel, I'm sorry.
I am just so clumsy.
122
00:12:40,427 --> 00:12:44,158
Oh. Don't worry about it,
Miss Davenport.
123
00:12:44,265 --> 00:12:46,961
I'm running ahead of schedule
tonight anyway.
124
00:12:53,541 --> 00:12:53,606
And turning to the local scene...
125
00:12:53,641 --> 00:12:55,939
And turning to the local scene...
126
00:12:56,043 --> 00:12:59,137
all Hollywood is saddened
by the tragic death of Steven Spooner...
127
00:12:59,246 --> 00:13:01,737
who was murdered last night
in his Studio City office.
128
00:13:01,849 --> 00:13:06,252
The 25-year-old director was preparing
his latest film, Atomic Man: The Movie.
129
00:13:06,353 --> 00:13:10,187
Ironically, Maxwell Donahue, the actor
who portrayed Atomic Man on television...
130
00:13:10,291 --> 00:13:12,851
from 1961 to 1964...
131
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,258
is being sought
in connection with the crime.
132
00:13:15,362 --> 00:13:18,695
Homicide detectiveJames Jarvis
had this to say at the scene last night.
133
00:13:20,734 --> 00:13:24,397
Well, things are still kind of sketchy,
but we do have several eyewitnesses...
134
00:13:24,505 --> 00:13:27,406
who claim they saw Mr. Donahue
running from the scene of the crime.
135
00:13:27,508 --> 00:13:31,535
And, of course, he did threaten to kill Mr. Spooner
at a press conference earlier this week.
136
00:13:31,645 --> 00:13:33,977
So, at the moment,
he is our primary murder suspect...
137
00:13:34,081 --> 00:13:37,881
and we will probably issue
a murder arrest warrant.
138
00:13:46,193 --> 00:13:49,060
Ah! Good morning! Yes!
139
00:13:49,163 --> 00:13:52,257
Ready to take a magic carpet ride
into the fascinating world of-
140
00:13:52,366 --> 00:13:54,596
ta-da-
floor coverings?
141
00:13:54,702 --> 00:13:57,967
Persian, Chinese,
Turkish. Huh?
142
00:13:58,072 --> 00:14:00,302
Ah. Well, perhaps your interest lies
in domestic tufts.
143
00:14:00,407 --> 00:14:02,637
What would you say to a nice little
American shag?
144
00:14:02,743 --> 00:14:04,677
Hello, nice little American shag.
145
00:14:04,778 --> 00:14:08,077
- What's wrong, Laura?
- Atomic Man is wanted for murder.
146
00:14:08,182 --> 00:14:10,082
Really?
147
00:14:10,184 --> 00:14:13,176
I didn't realize the penalty for bad acting
was that stiff in this country.
148
00:14:13,287 --> 00:14:16,256
No. Real murder.
The police are after him.
149
00:14:16,357 --> 00:14:19,520
He's innocent,
and he's being hunted down like an animal.
150
00:14:19,627 --> 00:14:21,390
How do you know
he's innocent?
151
00:14:22,496 --> 00:14:24,794
Atomic Man could never
hurt anyone.
152
00:14:24,899 --> 00:14:30,303
Laura, I realize how important
Atomic Man was to you in your formative years...
153
00:14:30,404 --> 00:14:32,304
but you must remember
one thing.
154
00:14:32,406 --> 00:14:35,603
- What's that?
- He's just an actor in a silly suit.
155
00:14:42,216 --> 00:14:44,912
You promised Mooney that we'd meet him
there before 10:00...
156
00:14:45,019 --> 00:14:48,648
so it wouldn't interfere with those live
television commercials he does, remember?
157
00:14:50,424 --> 00:14:53,291
- Right.
- I am?
158
00:14:53,394 --> 00:14:55,589
Poor man needs help.
159
00:14:55,696 --> 00:14:57,891
He's alone. Frightened.
160
00:14:57,998 --> 00:15:00,990
If he can't get to us,
we'll have to get to him.
161
00:15:09,176 --> 00:15:11,770
- Are we still talking about the carpet king?
- Come on.
162
00:15:11,879 --> 00:15:14,643
Huh?
163
00:15:25,526 --> 00:15:27,494
- Steele. Glad to see ya.
- Oh, good morning.
164
00:15:27,594 --> 00:15:29,494
- Where's Miss Holt?
- She-
165
00:15:29,596 --> 00:15:31,530
Well, uh,
she was right behind me.
166
00:15:31,632 --> 00:15:34,499
No doubt she's working on,
uh, your security system.
167
00:15:34,601 --> 00:15:36,728
- Well, the sooner we install it, the better.
- Ah.
168
00:15:36,837 --> 00:15:39,601
Last week I had enough
indoor-outdoor...
169
00:15:39,707 --> 00:15:43,108
- stolen from this store alone to blanket the Astrodome.
- Oh.
170
00:15:43,210 --> 00:15:45,405
And I've got 19 outlets.
171
00:15:45,512 --> 00:15:48,572
- Oh. Excuse me. I have one of my commercials to do.
- Go ahead.
172
00:15:48,682 --> 00:15:50,877
Yes. Mr. Mooney.
173
00:16:03,630 --> 00:16:08,499
Theodore Mooney of Mooney's Carpets,
where we've had happy customers since 1964.
174
00:16:08,602 --> 00:16:11,127
We have a large selection
ofbrand names in stock.
175
00:16:11,238 --> 00:16:13,172
Lifkin, schlot, grob.
176
00:16:15,309 --> 00:16:18,540
"Phlift, melmin, glim. "
177
00:16:21,048 --> 00:16:22,948
Really, Laura!
178
00:16:23,050 --> 00:16:26,986
You've not only reverted to childhood,
you've practically returned to the womb.
179
00:16:27,087 --> 00:16:29,317
I had to let Max know
I wanted to help.
180
00:16:29,423 --> 00:16:31,414
Television seemed
the best medium for the message.
181
00:16:31,525 --> 00:16:34,358
"Lifkin, schlot, grob"
is a message?
182
00:16:34,461 --> 00:16:36,986
With the Atomic Man decoder ring, yes.
183
00:16:37,097 --> 00:16:38,530
- Oh, yes.
- Ay!
184
00:16:38,632 --> 00:16:40,532
- Remington Steele, uh-
- Ah, ah, ah.
185
00:16:40,634 --> 00:16:44,331
- Remington Steele Investigations.
Mildred? No, she's not here. - Wait a-
186
00:16:44,438 --> 00:16:48,272
What makes you so sure this man's gonna call?
The chances of him having seen this-
187
00:16:48,375 --> 00:16:49,569
Ah-
188
00:16:49,676 --> 00:16:53,339
- Allow me.
- I guess I could try some filing.
189
00:16:53,447 --> 00:16:55,415
Steele here.
190
00:16:56,784 --> 00:16:59,082
"Ziff. " "Klimp. "
191
00:16:59,186 --> 00:17:01,552
"Blerg," bler, bler, ble-
192
00:17:01,655 --> 00:17:03,680
It's for you.
193
00:17:03,791 --> 00:17:05,691
Mr. Donahue?
194
00:17:05,793 --> 00:17:09,889
Yes. I'm Laura Holt. I believe in
your innocence, and I want to help.
195
00:17:09,997 --> 00:17:12,989
- Is there a place that we can meet?
- Mildred, I'm worried.
196
00:17:13,100 --> 00:17:15,227
- Miss Holt?
- Mm-hmm. Usually she's the logical one.
197
00:17:15,335 --> 00:17:17,860
I mean, everything by the book,
allowing precious little time...
198
00:17:17,971 --> 00:17:20,064
for emotions to creep in
and cloud her perceptions.
199
00:17:20,174 --> 00:17:23,371
Now look at her. She's trading
"blinks" and "blergs" with a homicidal actor.
200
00:17:23,477 --> 00:17:26,344
- I'll see you there. Good-bye.
- Ah, Laura, where are you going?
201
00:17:26,447 --> 00:17:28,472
- To meet Max.
- Laura, the man is dangerous.
202
00:17:28,582 --> 00:17:30,880
He's already wanted
by the police for murder.
203
00:17:30,984 --> 00:17:34,476
- The Fugitive.
- Yes. The fugitive, Maxwell Donahue.
204
00:17:34,588 --> 00:17:37,455
No. The Fugitive. David Janssen.
A Quinn Martin Production.
205
00:17:37,558 --> 00:17:39,753
- 1963 to 1967.
- Mm-hmm.
206
00:17:41,328 --> 00:17:43,319
Mildred, you're an American.
What's she talking about?
207
00:17:43,430 --> 00:17:45,330
- It's an old television series.
- Oh.
208
00:17:45,432 --> 00:17:49,459
David Janssen played a man running from
the police for a murder he didn't commit.
209
00:17:49,570 --> 00:17:53,131
- He'd been framed.
- And that's what you're basing his innocence on?
210
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,732
- A television show?
- How many times have I followed you blindly...
211
00:17:56,844 --> 00:17:59,904
just because you thought
one of our cases bore a faint resemblance...
212
00:18:00,013 --> 00:18:02,277
to the plot of
some silly movie?
213
00:18:02,382 --> 00:18:04,976
Press on, Miss Holt.
214
00:18:06,053 --> 00:18:08,021
I'm with you
every step of the way.
215
00:18:08,122 --> 00:18:11,614
Ah, just one moment.
Where does one find an Atomic Man?
216
00:18:13,727 --> 00:18:16,560
- They call themselves "Tommies. "
- Oh, really?
217
00:18:16,663 --> 00:18:18,722
- They're all fans of the show.
- Mm-hmm.
218
00:18:18,832 --> 00:18:20,959
A few times a year
they get together- Ooh!
219
00:18:21,068 --> 00:18:24,697
Laura. No costume this year.
220
00:18:24,805 --> 00:18:28,172
I'm sure you look positively fetching
in your little cape and bootees, eh?
221
00:18:28,275 --> 00:18:30,243
- Whoo.
- Never mind that. We've gotta find Max.
222
00:18:30,344 --> 00:18:34,144
Oh, yeah. And how do you propose
we do that in this sea of duplicates?
223
00:18:34,248 --> 00:18:37,513
We won't have to.
He just found us.
224
00:18:40,053 --> 00:18:43,887
Miss Holt?
225
00:18:47,127 --> 00:18:49,459
And this is my boss,
Remington Steele.
226
00:18:49,563 --> 00:18:51,463
- Hello.
- He's a very famous private detective...
227
00:18:51,565 --> 00:18:53,465
and he wants to
help you very much.
228
00:18:53,567 --> 00:18:57,059
Yes. Miss Holt has convinced me
that you're the David Janssen of your time.
229
00:18:57,171 --> 00:19:00,038
Uh, thank you both, really,
for believing in me.
230
00:19:00,140 --> 00:19:02,370
Are you sure
you weren't followed here?
231
00:19:02,476 --> 00:19:06,503
Well, a couple of cops chased me,
but I shook 'em off. I'm still pretty fast on my feet.
232
00:19:06,613 --> 00:19:08,604
I do a little jogging
and work out.
233
00:19:08,715 --> 00:19:12,082
You know, this damn costume-
It shows every bulge and ripple.
234
00:19:12,186 --> 00:19:15,815
Yes. Well, apparently you weren't
fast enough. Have a look, Laura.
235
00:19:15,923 --> 00:19:19,654
- Jarvis.!
- Mm-hmm. You two slip out the front.
236
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:23,321
I'll occupy the Huckleberry Finn
of Homicide. Okay? Go.
237
00:19:23,430 --> 00:19:26,922
Ah! DetectiveJarvis.
Good to see you! Remember me?
238
00:19:27,034 --> 00:19:29,468
- Mr. Steele! Mr. Steele!
- Yes.
239
00:19:29,570 --> 00:19:34,473
- Hey! I haven't seen you since- - You hounded
me for a murder I didn't commit. Remember that?
240
00:19:34,575 --> 00:19:37,976
Hey. Tell me. Are you a Tommie too? Hmm?
241
00:19:38,078 --> 00:19:40,672
- Hmm?
- Oh. No. No, no. Actually, I'm working on a case.
242
00:19:40,781 --> 00:19:44,217
Oh, I see. Fascinating. Tell me all about it,
Detective. Please do. Hmm?
243
00:19:44,318 --> 00:19:46,912
Say, isn't that Miss Holt?
244
00:19:47,020 --> 00:19:49,488
What? No. No, no, no, no.
245
00:19:51,692 --> 00:19:54,388
It is, and I think she has
something I'm after.
246
00:19:54,494 --> 00:19:57,258
Look, everybody. It's JimmyJones!
JimmyJones, right here!
247
00:19:57,364 --> 00:19:59,696
JimmyJones, right here!
248
00:20:02,736 --> 00:20:04,704
Coming.
249
00:20:04,805 --> 00:20:06,796
Coming!
250
00:20:10,510 --> 00:20:12,740
DetectiveJarvis,
what a surprise.
251
00:20:12,846 --> 00:20:15,110
I want Maxwell Donahue.
252
00:20:15,215 --> 00:20:18,116
- He's innocent.
- He threatened to kill Steven Spooner.
253
00:20:18,218 --> 00:20:20,812
- He was spotted leaving the scene of the crime.
- Circumstantial.
254
00:20:20,921 --> 00:20:22,946
His fingerprints were
on the murder weapon.
255
00:20:25,425 --> 00:20:28,656
- Now, I suggest you get him to
the nearest police station.
256
00:20:28,762 --> 00:20:32,459
As quickly as possible. Otherwise
you'll be looking at a few charges yourself.
257
00:20:32,566 --> 00:20:34,466
Such as?
258
00:20:34,568 --> 00:20:38,561
Obstructing justice, aiding and abetting
a fugitive, accessory after the fact.
259
00:20:38,672 --> 00:20:42,130
- How does that sound so far?
- Impressive.
260
00:20:42,242 --> 00:20:44,540
It's a very nice place
you've got here.
261
00:20:44,645 --> 00:20:46,806
It's light and airy.
262
00:20:46,913 --> 00:20:49,609
And a hell of a lot more
spacious than a jail cell.
263
00:20:53,153 --> 00:20:55,815
Is there no way you can prove
Spooner wanted to see you...
264
00:20:55,922 --> 00:20:59,414
in costume, at precisely
10:30 last night?
265
00:20:59,526 --> 00:21:01,619
Uh, n-no.
I- I already told you.
266
00:21:01,728 --> 00:21:03,696
His secretary called me
about 9:30.
267
00:21:03,797 --> 00:21:05,697
She said
she went home at 6:00...
268
00:21:05,799 --> 00:21:07,926
and her time card
backs her up.
269
00:21:08,035 --> 00:21:10,833
- Somebody called me.
- It doesn't look good, Max.
270
00:21:10,937 --> 00:21:14,703
- Oh. Uh, if you think that looks bad-
- Mm-hmm?
271
00:21:14,808 --> 00:21:16,708
wait till you hear this.
272
00:21:16,810 --> 00:21:19,938
The... murder weapon-
273
00:21:20,047 --> 00:21:24,074
- What about it?
- Uh, well, it, uh-
274
00:21:24,184 --> 00:21:26,880
uh, just may have
my fingerprints on it.
275
00:21:26,987 --> 00:21:29,387
Well, how can that be?
276
00:21:29,489 --> 00:21:31,389
It was a prop
in the show, and-
277
00:21:31,491 --> 00:21:35,791
and when I read that, uh, Spooner was gonna
do the movie version, I sent it to him.
278
00:21:35,896 --> 00:21:38,387
My way of reminding him
that I was Atomic Man.
279
00:21:38,498 --> 00:21:40,398
Good heavens, Max.
280
00:21:40,500 --> 00:21:43,230
The more you explain,
the worse it sounds.
281
00:21:43,337 --> 00:21:47,068
Mr. Steele, please. Believe me.
I'm not a murderer.
282
00:21:47,174 --> 00:21:49,574
I'm just an actor
who wants to act.
283
00:21:51,445 --> 00:21:56,075
Atomic Man was probably the best
and the worst thing that ever happened to me.
284
00:21:56,183 --> 00:21:58,583
As a struggling actor,
it was great.
285
00:21:58,685 --> 00:22:00,880
The money was good.
Put food on the table.
286
00:22:00,987 --> 00:22:03,979
Sent a couple of nieces
through college. But then-
287
00:22:04,091 --> 00:22:08,221
- The series got canceled?
- Yeah. And I couldn't get arrested.
288
00:22:08,328 --> 00:22:12,526
I mean, it didn't seem to matter to anybody
that I played Hamlet, I played Tartuffe-
289
00:22:12,632 --> 00:22:16,398
Uh, won rave notices from
the San Francisco Theater Guild.
290
00:22:16,503 --> 00:22:21,167
No. I was Atomic Man,
and they didn't think I could play anything else.
291
00:22:21,274 --> 00:22:24,072
But, you know,
in the long run...
292
00:22:25,245 --> 00:22:27,679
it really didn't
seem to matter because...
293
00:22:29,182 --> 00:22:32,709
everywhere I went,
people still thought of me as a hero.
294
00:22:34,321 --> 00:22:36,221
I liked that.
295
00:22:36,323 --> 00:22:40,225
Yes. Well, it can be
addictive, can't it? Hmm.
296
00:22:40,327 --> 00:22:43,296
Mr. Steele, don't you see?
297
00:22:43,397 --> 00:22:48,130
If I killed someone, I'd lose the only thing
I have left from my career:
298
00:22:48,235 --> 00:22:50,135
my reputation.
299
00:22:50,237 --> 00:22:52,205
You understand that.
You're a hero.
300
00:22:52,305 --> 00:22:55,968
The amazing sleuth
who's never been stumped.
301
00:22:57,577 --> 00:22:59,807
Yes. Well, that's me
all right, isn't it? Hmm.
302
00:22:59,913 --> 00:23:04,441
Of course, the only difference between us
is that you really are Remington Steele.
303
00:23:04,551 --> 00:23:06,485
I'm just an actor
playing a part.
304
00:23:07,954 --> 00:23:11,219
Well, we're all actors, Max,
at one time or another.
305
00:23:11,324 --> 00:23:13,292
Some of us just
have better roles.
306
00:23:13,393 --> 00:23:15,224
What now, chief?
307
00:23:15,328 --> 00:23:19,287
When Jarvis comes up empty at Miss Holt's,
he's sure to look for him here.
308
00:23:19,399 --> 00:23:21,526
Hmm.
309
00:23:21,635 --> 00:23:25,628
Well, Mildred,
what Max needs is...
310
00:23:25,739 --> 00:23:27,639
a new costume.
311
00:23:27,741 --> 00:23:30,301
This is my security system?
312
00:23:30,410 --> 00:23:34,904
Simply a provisional measure until Mr. Steele
can install the electronic surveillance...
313
00:23:35,015 --> 00:23:36,915
and protection hardware.
314
00:23:37,017 --> 00:23:38,917
But I have 19 stores!
315
00:23:39,019 --> 00:23:42,420
Oh. And we will take care of
each and every one of them. I assure you.
316
00:23:42,522 --> 00:23:45,013
Now, Officer Kimble here
is merely here to provide...
317
00:23:45,125 --> 00:23:47,093
uninterrupted service
in the interim.
318
00:23:47,194 --> 00:23:49,185
One officer?
319
00:23:49,296 --> 00:23:52,356
He's the best in the business.
320
00:23:52,466 --> 00:23:55,492
And we're prepared to provide
round-the-clock protection...
321
00:23:55,602 --> 00:23:57,661
if you have a place
for him to stay.
322
00:23:57,771 --> 00:23:59,671
There's a storeroom
in the back.
323
00:23:59,773 --> 00:24:01,741
Follow me.
324
00:24:04,811 --> 00:24:07,746
What'd you say your name was?
You look very familiar.
325
00:24:07,848 --> 00:24:09,873
Uh, Kimble.
326
00:24:09,983 --> 00:24:11,951
Kimble.
327
00:24:17,057 --> 00:24:19,025
Oh. Oh. I'm- I'm sorry.
328
00:24:19,125 --> 00:24:22,219
I- I didn't expect to
find anyone in here.
329
00:24:23,296 --> 00:24:26,288
- I'm Laura Holt.
- Jennifer Davenport.
330
00:24:27,334 --> 00:24:29,234
- Can I help you?
- Yes.
331
00:24:29,336 --> 00:24:33,796
I'm a private investigator working on
the Steven Spooner murder case.
332
00:24:33,907 --> 00:24:35,807
I thought the police
had their man.
333
00:24:35,909 --> 00:24:38,969
Well, there are a few things
that don't quite add up.
334
00:24:39,079 --> 00:24:44,745
- Such as?
- Uh, you and Steven Spooner were partners, yes?
335
00:24:44,851 --> 00:24:48,082
Steven and I were united...
336
00:24:48,188 --> 00:24:51,282
in every sense of the word.
337
00:24:51,391 --> 00:24:54,258
Well, I'm- I'm surprised,
after a loss like that, you wouldn't-
338
00:24:54,361 --> 00:24:56,522
close down for a while.
339
00:24:56,630 --> 00:25:01,863
Well, rather than suffer depression,
I choose to bury myself in work.
340
00:25:01,968 --> 00:25:04,368
- Steven would have wanted it that way.
- Ah.
341
00:25:04,471 --> 00:25:06,371
I'm dedicating the picture
to him, of course.
342
00:25:06,473 --> 00:25:08,373
Ooh.!
343
00:25:08,475 --> 00:25:09,703
- Geez.
- Uh-
344
00:25:09,809 --> 00:25:11,709
Oh.
345
00:25:11,811 --> 00:25:15,508
Ladies.
Lovely day, isn't it?
346
00:25:18,184 --> 00:25:20,948
Thank you. Thank you very much.
347
00:25:21,054 --> 00:25:24,182
Oh, oh, oh.
Mind your hand, Miss Holt.
348
00:25:24,291 --> 00:25:27,954
- Um, Remington Steele.
- Hello.
349
00:25:28,061 --> 00:25:30,029
- Odd.
- To say the least.
350
00:25:30,130 --> 00:25:32,257
That trellis couldn't support me...
351
00:25:32,365 --> 00:25:36,825
but supposedly held up fine
under Maxwell Donahue, who has me by pounds.
352
00:25:36,937 --> 00:25:40,031
Another thing that
doesn't quite add up.
353
00:25:40,140 --> 00:25:42,836
You keep saying that,
Miss Holt.
354
00:25:42,943 --> 00:25:45,605
Now, what exactly troubles you
about Max's guilt...
355
00:25:45,712 --> 00:25:49,546
aside from the fact that
you're obviously working for him?
356
00:25:49,649 --> 00:25:51,708
Well, for one, uh...
357
00:25:51,818 --> 00:25:54,286
why throw the murder weapon
with your fingerprints on it...
358
00:25:54,387 --> 00:25:57,379
through a window and alert witnesses
to your presence at the scene?
359
00:25:57,490 --> 00:26:00,152
- Well, the man panicked.
- That doesn't explain...
360
00:26:00,260 --> 00:26:02,592
why he wore his Atomic Man costume
to commit a crime.
361
00:26:02,696 --> 00:26:05,426
I mean, hardly an ideal way
to conceal his identity, is it?
362
00:26:05,532 --> 00:26:09,434
Or why he showed up at the main gate
instead of simply climbing over a wall.
363
00:26:09,536 --> 00:26:13,438
You have a great many questions.
Do you- Do you have answers to go with them?
364
00:26:13,540 --> 00:26:18,603
Uh, no. Not yet. But the most important thing
is we know that Max didn't kill Spooner.
365
00:26:18,712 --> 00:26:21,408
Now all we have to do
is figure out who did.
366
00:26:22,515 --> 00:26:24,483
Well, you have to do
one more thing.
367
00:26:24,584 --> 00:26:26,745
- Oh?
- Really? What's that?
368
00:26:26,853 --> 00:26:28,946
You have to prove it.
369
00:26:34,060 --> 00:26:36,153
She did it.
I know she did it.
370
00:26:36,262 --> 00:26:38,355
But what's her motive?
371
00:26:38,465 --> 00:26:41,195
I thought
she and Spooner were...
372
00:26:41,301 --> 00:26:44,270
cozy under the covers as well as
business partners.
373
00:26:44,371 --> 00:26:48,102
It's there, Mildred.
All we have to do is dig it up.
374
00:26:48,208 --> 00:26:50,403
Laura, I hate to be
a wet blanket...
375
00:26:50,510 --> 00:26:52,842
but Miss Davenport
has an airtight alibi.
376
00:26:52,946 --> 00:26:56,279
- Ah-
- The cleaning lady puts her in her office at 11:00...
377
00:26:56,383 --> 00:27:00,444
precisely the time the studio guard
saw the killer climbing down the trellis.
378
00:27:00,553 --> 00:27:02,646
Pick, pick.
Is that all you can do?
379
00:27:02,756 --> 00:27:04,951
If there are holes in this case,
we'll plug 'em.
380
00:27:05,058 --> 00:27:08,221
Laura, you're going off half-cocked,
letting your emotions cloud your judgment.
381
00:27:08,328 --> 00:27:10,421
I say we sit down,
look at this calmly, logically.
382
00:27:10,530 --> 00:27:13,693
Good Lord. I'm beginning to sound like you,
and you're beginning to sound like me.
383
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:15,700
Nice change of pace,
isn't it?
384
00:27:15,802 --> 00:27:20,865
You establish thatJennifer was the one who
called Max while I punch some holes in her alibi.
385
00:27:20,974 --> 00:27:25,638
Television, Mildred, deadens the mind,
corrupts the soul. Hmm.
386
00:27:44,330 --> 00:27:48,061
- Max?
- Yeah. Officer Kimble here. May I help you?
387
00:27:49,235 --> 00:27:51,760
It's Steele.
388
00:27:51,871 --> 00:27:53,839
Uh, you can't be
too careful.
389
00:27:53,940 --> 00:27:55,840
Max, would you recognize
the voice...
390
00:27:55,942 --> 00:27:58,604
that told you to come to the studio
the night of the murder?
391
00:27:58,712 --> 00:28:00,907
Oh, uh, gee.
I- I don't know.
392
00:28:01,014 --> 00:28:03,073
Say yes, Max.
We're desperate.
393
00:28:04,851 --> 00:28:06,682
What is it now, Mr. Steele?
394
00:28:06,786 --> 00:28:10,688
Oh. Uh, I just thought I'd give you a call
to see how you're faring up.
395
00:28:10,790 --> 00:28:15,454
How do you think I'm faring,
with the man I loved brutally murdered?
396
00:28:15,562 --> 00:28:19,726
Mozart! When the woman called, there was music
playing in the background, just like that.
397
00:28:19,833 --> 00:28:22,063
- What about the voice?
- Mr. Steele.
398
00:28:22,168 --> 00:28:25,296
- Are you still there?
- I'd stake my life on it.
399
00:28:25,405 --> 00:28:28,101
You are. Miss-
400
00:28:28,208 --> 00:28:33,236
Miss Davenport, rest assured. Uh, we're closing in
on this murderer even as we speak.
401
00:28:33,346 --> 00:28:35,246
Yes. Good day.
402
00:28:38,885 --> 00:28:41,080
Good work, Max.
403
00:28:41,187 --> 00:28:43,678
Now, back to your roll ends
and remnants. Go on, mate.
404
00:28:46,292 --> 00:28:52,162
Fact: Steven Spooner was going to have you
replaced as producer of the Atomic Man movie.
405
00:28:52,265 --> 00:28:54,392
I'm a great admirer
of Roger Foreman.
406
00:28:54,501 --> 00:28:56,401
I think he'll add a lot
to the production.
407
00:28:56,503 --> 00:29:01,873
Fact: Your contract with Spooner for the Atomic
Man rights carried a survivorship clause...
408
00:29:01,975 --> 00:29:04,967
which means now that he's dead,
you own it all.
409
00:29:05,078 --> 00:29:08,070
His lawyer insisted
on that clause.
410
00:29:08,181 --> 00:29:11,309
Fact: Maxwell Donahue
recognized your voice...
411
00:29:11,417 --> 00:29:14,352
as the one who called him
to the studio the night of the murder!
412
00:29:14,454 --> 00:29:16,752
A desperate man
will say anything.
413
00:29:16,856 --> 00:29:20,292
Under the circumstances, which one of us
do you think the police will believe?
414
00:29:20,393 --> 00:29:22,623
You killed Steven Spooner!
415
00:29:22,729 --> 00:29:25,960
I was watching Atomic Man
with Hazel...
416
00:29:26,065 --> 00:29:29,034
at the exact moment
Maxwell Donahue...
417
00:29:29,135 --> 00:29:33,367
dispatched my beloved
to that great soundstage in the sky.
418
00:29:33,473 --> 00:29:36,101
Well, she has you there.
419
00:29:36,209 --> 00:29:40,111
Only for the moment. There's got to be
a way to nail her for Spooner's murder.
420
00:29:40,213 --> 00:29:42,875
So long as Hazel swears
she was watching television with her...
421
00:29:42,982 --> 00:29:45,746
we're gonna have a hell of a time
proving she's guilty.
422
00:29:45,852 --> 00:29:49,447
That's it. The time.
She changed the time.
423
00:29:49,556 --> 00:29:54,118
Mmm. Nice try, Laura, but the station
broadcasts Atomic Man at, uh, 11:00.
424
00:29:54,227 --> 00:29:59,221
Columbo. Peter Falk.
Universal Studios, 1975.
425
00:29:59,332 --> 00:30:02,859
In an episode entitled "Playback,"
Oskar Werner kills his mother-in-law.
426
00:30:02,969 --> 00:30:04,937
He seems to have
the perfect alibi...
427
00:30:05,038 --> 00:30:10,533
until Columbo discovers he used a videotape
to alter the apparent time of the murder.
428
00:30:10,643 --> 00:30:13,077
Are you suggesting Spooner
wasn't killed at 11:00?
429
00:30:13,179 --> 00:30:16,046
No. I'm saying Hazel
wasn't with Jennifer at 11:00.
430
00:30:16,149 --> 00:30:19,175
She only thought she was
because Atomic Man was on.
431
00:30:19,285 --> 00:30:21,185
But she was actually
watching a tape.
432
00:30:21,287 --> 00:30:24,051
Now all we have to do
is find that tape.
433
00:30:24,157 --> 00:30:26,819
If Columbo can do it,
so can we.
434
00:30:36,803 --> 00:30:38,896
The Fugitive.
Columbo.
435
00:30:39,005 --> 00:30:42,236
- Really, Laura. I'm learning more about television than I care to.
- Shh.
436
00:30:42,342 --> 00:30:44,242
Come on.
437
00:30:49,215 --> 00:30:51,410
Okay. Let's go.
438
00:31:21,814 --> 00:31:24,248
Have a look.
439
00:31:24,350 --> 00:31:26,318
She had the means.
440
00:31:35,228 --> 00:31:37,992
And the tape.
441
00:31:38,097 --> 00:31:41,089
Shh, shh.
Shh, shh, shh, shh.
442
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:44,636
Psst.
443
00:31:44,737 --> 00:31:48,366
I suggest we watch this one at home.
Come on. Quick. Let's go. Go.
444
00:32:03,423 --> 00:32:05,391
Max.
445
00:32:09,629 --> 00:32:13,292
- Max.
- I warn you. I'm armed-
446
00:32:13,399 --> 00:32:16,994
- and dangerous.
- It's Laura Holt.
447
00:32:18,037 --> 00:32:20,198
Oh. Miss Holt. Uh-
448
00:32:21,674 --> 00:32:23,574
What are you doing here?
449
00:32:23,676 --> 00:32:26,304
I thought it was time
you finally heard some good news.
450
00:32:26,412 --> 00:32:29,506
- We're this close to clearing you.
- Oh, that's wonderful.
451
00:32:29,615 --> 00:32:32,175
Atomic Man triumphs again.
452
00:32:32,285 --> 00:32:37,222
Oh, no, no. No, no. I'm a- I'm afraid Atomic Man
had very little to do with this triumph.
453
00:32:37,323 --> 00:32:42,386
Oh, I don't know. He gave me
the inspiration to press on with the case.
454
00:32:42,495 --> 00:32:47,865
Well, now, you know, it's- It's fans like you
that have kept me going all these years.
455
00:32:47,967 --> 00:32:49,935
I was, uh-
456
00:32:50,036 --> 00:32:53,062
I was four when the show
first came on.
457
00:32:53,172 --> 00:32:55,800
I couldn't even pronounce
Atomic Man.
458
00:32:55,908 --> 00:32:59,036
It came out... Tom Mix Man.
459
00:32:59,145 --> 00:33:01,511
And-And that's what
my father always called it.
460
00:33:01,614 --> 00:33:04,947
I used to- I used to
climb up on his lap...
461
00:33:05,051 --> 00:33:07,076
and we'd sit there,
the two of us...
462
00:33:07,186 --> 00:33:09,882
entranced by your exploits.
463
00:33:09,989 --> 00:33:13,755
And I'd always cry
when the show was over. I wanted more.
464
00:33:13,860 --> 00:33:16,886
Yeah. So did I.
465
00:33:18,931 --> 00:33:23,459
After the first season,
my father wasn't around very much.
466
00:33:23,569 --> 00:33:26,265
He and my mother-
467
00:33:26,372 --> 00:33:32,277
Ay. That's, uh, how marriages go
after a while, you know.
468
00:33:32,378 --> 00:33:38,044
I guess he found more and more excuses
to stay away from the house.
469
00:33:38,151 --> 00:33:41,882
So, I'd have to climb up into his chair
and watch you all by myself.
470
00:33:45,058 --> 00:33:48,494
But I always made believe
I was sitting in my daddy's lap...
471
00:33:50,096 --> 00:33:52,064
with his arms around me...
472
00:33:53,332 --> 00:33:56,233
the smell of his aftershave
in my nostrils...
473
00:33:58,838 --> 00:34:00,738
and we were both watching.
474
00:34:02,508 --> 00:34:04,976
You gave me
a lot of happiness, Max...
475
00:34:05,078 --> 00:34:08,047
and a lot of memories
I could call on...
476
00:34:09,215 --> 00:34:12,707
after my father
finally left for good.
477
00:34:26,599 --> 00:34:29,124
- Where are you going?
- To call the police.
478
00:34:29,235 --> 00:34:31,931
Max, you're a fugitive.
Lie low.
479
00:34:32,038 --> 00:34:34,006
Hide.
480
00:35:22,755 --> 00:35:24,985
Laura, duck.!
481
00:35:29,061 --> 00:35:30,688
My hero.
482
00:35:38,771 --> 00:35:40,671
- First-rate, Kimble.
- Thank you, sir.
483
00:35:43,342 --> 00:35:45,674
Congratulations.
484
00:35:45,778 --> 00:35:47,678
You're both under arrest.
485
00:36:04,463 --> 00:36:06,590
Ah. Miss Holt.
486
00:36:06,699 --> 00:36:08,599
Mr. Steele has made your bail.
487
00:36:08,701 --> 00:36:10,862
Would you please get
Miss Holt's personal effects?
488
00:36:12,438 --> 00:36:15,339
Really, Miss Holt.
I'm absolutely astounded by your behavior.
489
00:36:15,441 --> 00:36:18,376
I'm seriously gonna have to consider
your position within this agency.
490
00:36:18,477 --> 00:36:21,878
After all, I have my reputation to maintain.
491
00:36:21,981 --> 00:36:24,575
- Good, huh?
- You got the wrong man, Jarvis.
492
00:36:24,684 --> 00:36:26,413
That's not what
the evidence says.
493
00:36:26,519 --> 00:36:30,216
Max was framed byJennifer Davenport.
I'll prove it.
494
00:36:30,323 --> 00:36:33,019
Are you going to bully a confession out of her?
495
00:36:33,125 --> 00:36:35,958
Gee, I don't know if there's enough room
on this sheet for harassment.
496
00:36:36,062 --> 00:36:39,691
I assure you. Miss Holt will not break any laws
from now on. I promise you of that.
497
00:36:39,799 --> 00:36:44,702
A good doctor, the proper drugs, a little shock
therapy- She'll be good as new. I promise you.
498
00:36:44,804 --> 00:36:46,772
Thank you.
499
00:36:49,008 --> 00:36:51,272
Okay.
500
00:36:51,377 --> 00:36:53,311
Check 'em
and sign for 'em.
501
00:36:53,412 --> 00:36:57,712
- What's this?
- That's just something I bought at the Atomic Man convention.
502
00:37:00,486 --> 00:37:04,752
You really ought to have 'em take off
the studio property sticker next time. It...
503
00:37:04,857 --> 00:37:06,984
kind of makes it
look stolen.
504
00:37:09,895 --> 00:37:14,389
We are not looking at a breaking-and-entering
charge here, are we, Miss Holt?
505
00:37:14,500 --> 00:37:16,730
Uh...
506
00:37:16,836 --> 00:37:19,566
I think I'm gonna hang onto it
just until the morning.
507
00:37:21,741 --> 00:37:26,337
I just want to make sure
Miss Davenport's collection is complete.
508
00:37:28,247 --> 00:37:30,511
Uh, perhaps we can see
the prisoner now. Hmm?
509
00:37:30,616 --> 00:37:33,278
Things couldn't look better, Max.
510
00:37:35,721 --> 00:37:37,689
You ought to see it
from this side.
511
00:37:37,790 --> 00:37:39,985
We know who killed Spooner.
512
00:37:40,092 --> 00:37:44,495
- That's great.
- And with your help, we're going to prove it.
513
00:37:44,597 --> 00:37:46,462
How can I help?
514
00:37:46,565 --> 00:37:49,659
By giving the performance
of your life, mate.
515
00:37:51,270 --> 00:37:55,263
Okay. Mr. Donahue...
516
00:37:55,374 --> 00:37:59,674
since it is your confession,
please start wherever you like.
517
00:37:59,779 --> 00:38:02,612
It all started at a 5,000-watt
radio station. I was-
518
00:38:02,715 --> 00:38:05,445
Mr. Donahue, I meant
the night of the murder.
519
00:38:05,551 --> 00:38:07,451
Oh. Oh.
520
00:38:07,553 --> 00:38:10,021
Um-Well, um...
521
00:38:10,122 --> 00:38:14,923
after the guards, uh,
tossed me off the lot, I, uh-
522
00:38:15,027 --> 00:38:17,461
uh, I doubled back...
523
00:38:17,563 --> 00:38:19,497
and I jumped the fence.
524
00:38:19,598 --> 00:38:23,056
I landed in a clump
of hydrangea.
525
00:38:24,937 --> 00:38:27,303
Hmm.
526
00:38:27,406 --> 00:38:31,570
Looked around to make sure
no one was watching...
527
00:38:31,677 --> 00:38:33,702
and I slipped into
the production building.
528
00:38:35,348 --> 00:38:38,647
I crept down the hall.
529
00:38:38,751 --> 00:38:40,719
One step at a time.
530
00:38:40,820 --> 00:38:44,586
Planning, plotting...
531
00:38:45,624 --> 00:38:48,184
knowing what I had to do.
532
00:38:48,294 --> 00:38:51,786
Knowing what I'd been
driven to do.
533
00:38:51,897 --> 00:38:54,991
I arrived at
Steven Spooner's office...
534
00:38:55,101 --> 00:38:57,001
and I flung open the door!
535
00:38:58,838 --> 00:39:01,830
- There!
- Make sure you get all of this!
536
00:39:01,941 --> 00:39:05,707
There sat Steven Spooner,
the man who told me...
537
00:39:05,811 --> 00:39:08,678
I was too old
to be a superhero.
538
00:39:11,550 --> 00:39:14,280
Then I saw it. May I?
539
00:39:16,956 --> 00:39:19,686
My atomic scepter.
540
00:39:21,060 --> 00:39:24,757
Actually, uh, this looks
more like my proton rod.
541
00:39:24,864 --> 00:39:26,991
Uh, anyway...
542
00:39:27,099 --> 00:39:29,932
I took the scepter
in my hand...
543
00:39:30,035 --> 00:39:32,469
and it felt good.
544
00:39:32,571 --> 00:39:37,201
And I crept up on Spooner...
545
00:39:37,309 --> 00:39:39,607
and I hit him!
546
00:39:39,712 --> 00:39:41,907
- It's locked.
- Do something.
547
00:39:42,014 --> 00:39:44,209
Max is going into
his big finish. Come on.
548
00:39:46,552 --> 00:39:48,713
But I missed.
549
00:39:50,122 --> 00:39:53,250
This made Spooner angry.
550
00:39:54,460 --> 00:39:58,089
So, um, we fought.
551
00:39:58,197 --> 00:40:00,097
Ha, ha!
552
00:40:02,501 --> 00:40:05,231
Uh, I-
553
00:40:05,337 --> 00:40:07,237
I struggled-
554
00:40:07,339 --> 00:40:11,105
and he struggled, and I-
555
00:40:14,013 --> 00:40:17,244
and I... choked him!
556
00:40:18,751 --> 00:40:21,083
Yes.
557
00:40:21,187 --> 00:40:23,815
I mean, no. He died from
a blow to the head.
558
00:40:26,692 --> 00:40:30,492
- Then obviously I'm not the murderer.
- What are you talking about?
559
00:40:30,596 --> 00:40:33,963
Uh, well, I say I choked him,
and you say I hit him.
560
00:40:34,066 --> 00:40:36,261
One of us better
get our story straight.
561
00:40:43,809 --> 00:40:47,267
Oh. Max was nothing short of
brilliant tonight.
562
00:40:47,379 --> 00:40:50,974
You see? Maybe television isn't
the vast wasteland you think it is.
563
00:40:51,083 --> 00:40:53,608
Hmm. Perhaps I misjudged
the medium.
564
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:56,882
An evil man, the Commandant dedicates his-
565
00:40:56,989 --> 00:40:59,981
Then again- Hmm. Well-
566
00:41:00,092 --> 00:41:02,390
I don't mean to dampen your spirits,
Lieutenant Columbo...
567
00:41:02,495 --> 00:41:04,929
but the fact thatJennifer
has a tape of Atomic Man...
568
00:41:05,030 --> 00:41:08,488
- doesn't prove she played it the night of the murder.
- One thing at a time.
569
00:41:08,601 --> 00:41:11,069
- Mmm.
- What's gotten into you anyway?
570
00:41:11,170 --> 00:41:14,697
You used to have
such flair, such style.
571
00:41:14,807 --> 00:41:18,004
- Always ready to take a chance, play a hunch.
- Hmm.
572
00:41:18,110 --> 00:41:20,840
Well, one of us has to keep
our feet on the ground, Laura.
573
00:41:20,946 --> 00:41:24,211
You're really enjoying this role reversal,
aren't you?
574
00:41:24,316 --> 00:41:28,548
Punching holes in my theories,
threatening me with shock therapy.
575
00:41:28,654 --> 00:41:30,588
Ah.
576
00:41:30,689 --> 00:41:34,250
Merely trying to keep you
from going off the deep end.
577
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:37,261
Unless, of course, uh,
you'd like company.
578
00:41:37,363 --> 00:41:39,331
Mmm.
579
00:41:39,431 --> 00:41:41,399
Shut up and watch.
580
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:53,169
Go ahead and shoot. The power of the atom
is only realized when it is split.
581
00:42:10,095 --> 00:42:13,428
Oh, dear God.
It's still the same.
582
00:42:15,534 --> 00:42:18,731
I keep hoping I'll wake up,
and I'll be watching Gone with the Wind...
583
00:42:18,837 --> 00:42:20,964
or even Heaven's Gate.
584
00:42:21,073 --> 00:42:23,405
Oh.
585
00:42:28,714 --> 00:42:30,614
I'm sorry, Miss Holt...
586
00:42:30,716 --> 00:42:34,152
but it took me a while to find anybody
working at the station this early.
587
00:42:34,253 --> 00:42:37,222
Now, here's the broadcast tape
of the Atomic Man show.
588
00:42:37,323 --> 00:42:39,291
Great.
589
00:42:42,995 --> 00:42:45,088
I'm gonna have
a shower, Mildred.
590
00:42:59,445 --> 00:43:02,676
An evil man, the Commandant dedicates his life...
591
00:43:02,781 --> 00:43:05,909
to the task of destroying
the Atomic Man...
592
00:43:06,018 --> 00:43:08,179
and all that is good.
593
00:43:11,023 --> 00:43:13,821
What are we looking for?
594
00:43:13,926 --> 00:43:16,053
I'll let you know
when we find it.
595
00:43:17,730 --> 00:43:20,221
That's fair.
596
00:43:22,568 --> 00:43:24,468
- Aha!
- Aha?
597
00:43:24,570 --> 00:43:27,061
Aha what?
598
00:43:27,172 --> 00:43:29,902
Throw a towel
on Mr. Steele, Mildred.
599
00:43:30,009 --> 00:43:33,001
We're going to make mincemeat
out of a murderess.
600
00:43:35,648 --> 00:43:37,809
You almost got away with it.
601
00:43:37,916 --> 00:43:40,316
You had everything figured.
602
00:43:40,419 --> 00:43:42,853
Everything except this tape.
603
00:43:42,955 --> 00:43:47,892
I hope this dreadfully boring woman
has a point to all this, DetectiveJarvis.
604
00:43:47,993 --> 00:43:50,223
I gave up a racquetball
game to be here today.
605
00:43:50,329 --> 00:43:52,229
The least we can do
is hear her out-
606
00:43:52,331 --> 00:43:54,891
before I bust her for
stealing police property.
607
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:56,991
We simply borrowed it,
Detective.
608
00:44:00,339 --> 00:44:02,239
Steven Spooner dumped you.
609
00:44:02,341 --> 00:44:05,401
You knew eliminating him
would save your career.
610
00:44:06,845 --> 00:44:09,541
Having seen Max
at the press conference...
611
00:44:09,648 --> 00:44:11,741
you knew you had
the perfect scapegoat...
612
00:44:11,850 --> 00:44:14,546
so you proceeded
with the perfect crime.
613
00:44:14,653 --> 00:44:17,850
You used a prop you knew
Max had handled...
614
00:44:17,956 --> 00:44:20,925
and then threw it out the window
to attract attention.
615
00:44:21,026 --> 00:44:23,221
When the guards saw you
in your borrowed costume...
616
00:44:23,328 --> 00:44:25,228
they naturally assumed
you were Max.
617
00:44:25,330 --> 00:44:27,298
How many ways can I say it?
618
00:44:27,399 --> 00:44:31,267
I was right here in this office,
watching TVwith Hazel.
619
00:44:31,370 --> 00:44:34,601
Ah, yes. The perfect alibi.
620
00:44:34,707 --> 00:44:36,607
And it was perfect.
621
00:44:36,709 --> 00:44:38,609
Almost.
622
00:44:38,711 --> 00:44:42,841
Like they say in Hollywood, Miss Holt,
cut to the chase, eh?
623
00:44:42,948 --> 00:44:47,078
It was easy to figure out that you'd
set the clock in your office ahead.
624
00:44:47,186 --> 00:44:50,883
And playing a tape of Atomic Man
for Hazel was brilliant.
625
00:44:52,124 --> 00:44:54,024
Hazel.
626
00:45:02,768 --> 00:45:04,702
Handy gadgets,
these remote controls.
627
00:45:13,746 --> 00:45:16,112
Watch very carefully.
628
00:45:21,353 --> 00:45:23,913
Hazel, do you remember
seeing this scene?
629
00:45:24,022 --> 00:45:25,489
Sure do.
630
00:45:27,693 --> 00:45:31,424
- Miss Davenport?
- Of course. I was right here with Hazel.
631
00:45:31,530 --> 00:45:34,226
- Is all this leading somewhere?
- Really, Detective.
632
00:45:34,333 --> 00:45:36,267
Forgetting Miss Holt's
criminal tendency...
633
00:45:36,368 --> 00:45:38,598
she is still a brilliant
investigator- brilliant.
634
00:45:38,704 --> 00:45:41,138
Laura, is all this leading somewhere?
635
00:45:41,240 --> 00:45:43,208
Good. Good, good, good.
636
00:46:03,262 --> 00:46:05,196
Here's how the show
aired that night.
637
00:46:05,297 --> 00:46:07,822
That's impossible.
638
00:46:10,135 --> 00:46:13,002
No, Miss Davenport.
That's syndication.
639
00:46:13,105 --> 00:46:15,699
When a program is broadcast
for a local station...
640
00:46:15,808 --> 00:46:18,777
its length is edited
to allow for more commercials.
641
00:46:18,877 --> 00:46:21,505
The scene you both
claim you saw...
642
00:46:21,613 --> 00:46:24,446
was unceremoniously cut
in the middle.
643
00:46:24,550 --> 00:46:27,644
You and your Atomic Man.
644
00:46:30,088 --> 00:46:33,421
A killer caught by a lousy television show
and a rotten commercial.
645
00:46:33,525 --> 00:46:35,993
There's something poetic
about that.
646
00:46:36,094 --> 00:46:38,688
Although for the life of me,
I can't think what.
647
00:46:41,266 --> 00:46:44,292
Y- I- I- I just don't know
how to thank you.
648
00:46:44,403 --> 00:46:46,371
You never lost faith in me.
649
00:46:46,471 --> 00:46:49,031
Well, after all,
you are the Atomic Man, eh?
650
00:46:49,141 --> 00:46:51,041
Oh, no. Not anymore.
651
00:46:51,143 --> 00:46:53,270
Ooh. Sorry to hear
they killed the movie project.
652
00:46:53,378 --> 00:46:55,903
No. Don't- Don't be.
Uh, my agent just called...
653
00:46:56,014 --> 00:46:59,245
and he's got me the title role
in a new TV series.
654
00:47:00,319 --> 00:47:02,219
- Laser Man.
- Oh!
655
00:47:02,321 --> 00:47:05,518
Hey, Max.
Well done.
656
00:47:05,624 --> 00:47:08,184
I must say, Max.
Since I've known you...
657
00:47:08,293 --> 00:47:12,730
I've developed a deeper satisfaction
and gratification for the small screen.
658
00:47:12,831 --> 00:47:17,131
You know something? Y-You're not, uh,
such a bad-looking guy yourself.
659
00:47:17,236 --> 00:47:19,568
You, uh, ever consider
an acting career?
660
