1
00:01:33,940 --> 00:01:36,560
Hey, Walensky! Walensky!

2
00:01:36,585 --> 00:01:39,726
What's the matter, Chavez? What's the
bust this time?

3
00:01:39,767 --> 00:01:41,073
Nothing. Look!

4
00:01:44,660 --> 00:01:46,290
Hey, we better call a priest!

5
00:01:46,351 --> 00:01:47,437
Priest?

6
00:01:47,458 --> 00:01:49,138
For this you call a cop!

7
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:07,560
How you doing, Lieutenant?

8
00:02:07,660 --> 00:02:09,640
I can't sell a dental appointment for this.

9
00:02:09,886 --> 00:02:11,540
All right, already I'm here.
What do you got?

10
00:02:11,541 --> 00:02:14,685
Well, I'm not sure, Lieutenant.
On the face of it, it looks

11
00:02:14,697 --> 00:02:16,512
like a typical syndicate scratch.

12
00:02:16,699 --> 00:02:18,396
Hardly worth the paperwork.

13
00:02:18,420 --> 00:02:20,871
Man had a pair of these,
he could start a mariachi band, right?

14
00:02:20,896 --> 00:02:22,460
They dug
this out of the foundations?

15
00:02:23,020 --> 00:02:24,860
It's down to Class A
concrete and bombing job.

16
00:02:24,896 --> 00:02:25,855
Anything else?

17
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,560
Just bones, clothings and shreds.

18
00:02:27,759 --> 00:02:28,825
Okay, Curly,

19
00:02:29,265 --> 00:02:32,400
you said on the face of it, it had the 
earmarks of the mob here

20
00:02:32,425 --> 00:02:35,000
but only you obviously have
reason to suspect otherwise. Give.

21
00:02:35,001 --> 00:02:39,731
Well, clean entry, no exit.
The size of the aperture

22
00:02:39,756 --> 00:02:41,796
indicates a small bore
weapon,

23
00:02:41,903 --> 00:02:43,436
possibly a .22.

24
00:02:43,461 --> 00:02:44,169
So?

25
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,930
So, it's safe to assume
that the shot wasn't fired point blank,

26
00:02:48,030 --> 00:02:50,800
and a .22 is
not your typical kill gun.

27
00:02:51,138 --> 00:02:53,740
Execution. Looks more like dumb luck to me.

28
00:02:54,100 --> 00:02:55,540
Any idea when this building went up?

29
00:02:55,620 --> 00:02:57,820
Yeah, in 1957, according
to the foreman here.

30
00:02:57,821 --> 00:03:02,520
So we got ourselves an 18-year-old DOA.
Let's see if we can narrow it down.

31
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:07,038
Find out the exact date on which the
foundations were poured, working from that start

32
00:03:07,050 --> 00:03:10,900
waiting through the missing persons report,
crime files, newspaper morgues, etc.

33
00:03:11,260 --> 00:03:13,420
18 years, Lieutenant, do
you know what you're asking?

34
00:03:13,900 --> 00:03:16,575
You know, archeologists
are still trying to solve the

35
00:03:16,587 --> 00:03:19,680
mystery of the pyramids. You
don't hear them yelling, do you?

36
00:03:20,433 --> 00:03:21,433
Detective?

37
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,160
What the hell's the big
mystery about the pyramids?

38
00:03:25,460 --> 00:03:26,460
They don't have Johns.

39
00:03:43,700 --> 00:03:44,700
Yes, Beth?

40
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:49,540
There's a call and they
gave you name.

41
00:03:49,565 --> 00:03:51,545
No, that's all right. I'll take it.

42
00:03:51,954 --> 00:03:52,694
Hello?

43
00:03:52,954 --> 00:03:53,694
Keith.

44
00:03:54,060 --> 00:03:55,800
Monica, how nice to hear from you again.

45
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:57,280
Have you seen the
papers?

46
00:03:57,750 --> 00:03:58,760
Yes, of course.

47
00:03:59,260 --> 00:04:00,420
And you're not concerned?

48
00:04:00,740 --> 00:04:01,820
No, not in the least.

49
00:04:01,966 --> 00:04:02,780
Keith!

50
00:04:03,119 --> 00:04:08,520
Monica, listen to me. I have to go up to
Albany for a few days. It's on business.

51
00:04:09,020 --> 00:04:12,029
Now, I want you to get
out of the apartment.

52
00:04:12,041 --> 00:04:15,120
Dedicate a tree, go to an auction
and have your poodle clipped.

53
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,800
But keep your hours occupied.
I'll see you when I come back, all right?

54
00:04:50,445 --> 00:04:53,960
Top of the barn and teamy bios.
And what's the good word?

55
00:04:54,700 --> 00:04:56,020
Gomez, you're on.

56
00:04:56,260 --> 00:04:57,260
No, I'm getting out.

57
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:58,520
Stay, stay.

58
00:04:58,545 --> 00:04:59,300
Yeah.

59
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,482
Emmy reports although the teeth
reveal several gold fillings, it'll be

60
00:05:03,494 --> 00:05:07,180
next to impossible to establish
identity through existing dental records.

61
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,840
You know, the concrete was
poured May 8, 1957, Captain.

62
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:15,240
The trail that leads to Judge Crater, it
ain't a hell of a lot colder than this one.

63
00:05:15,540 --> 00:05:19,531
There is, however, a small bridge and
there's a slim chance we might be able to

64
00:05:19,543 --> 00:05:23,800
nail down the manufacturer and through him
get a line on the dentist who ordered it.

65
00:05:23,825 --> 00:05:24,489
Dentist?

66
00:05:24,535 --> 00:05:29,619
According to the autopsy findings, the
victim was 5'11", weighed in the neighborhood

67
00:05:29,631 --> 00:05:34,060
of 175 pounds and was somewhere
between 30, 35 years of age when snuffed.

68
00:05:34,137 --> 00:05:35,137
Rizzo,

69
00:05:36,736 --> 00:05:39,063
I want you to phone Doc Egenweiler,

70
00:05:39,530 --> 00:05:41,576
see if he can squeeze me in this afternoon.

71
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,636
Okay, because I got a tooth
that's killing me, isn't it?

72
00:05:43,660 --> 00:05:44,660
Tricuspid.

73
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:46,980
Yeah, what races is he in? Go ahead.

74
00:05:47,205 --> 00:05:49,440
There's two additional
pieces of information.

75
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,361
Our DOA's left leg's
been broken and is now

76
00:05:52,373 --> 00:05:55,380
held together by bone
grafts and two steel pins.

77
00:05:56,280 --> 00:06:00,700
Emmy states, orthopedic surgery transpired
within three years of decedent's demise.

78
00:06:01,840 --> 00:06:05,645
Among the foreign matter, forensic
recovery of the scene was a set

79
00:06:05,657 --> 00:06:09,300
of bone buttons, which unlike
the fabric they were attached to.

80
00:06:09,500 --> 00:06:12,060
The main intact we're linking into a 10-4.

81
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:13,400
Any labels from the
clothes?

82
00:06:13,467 --> 00:06:14,827
Oh,  No, nothing.

83
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:16,996
All I said was, what's
the good word? For this

84
00:06:17,008 --> 00:06:19,260
I get Washington's
farewell to the troops.

85
00:06:19,660 --> 00:06:22,974
You know, somewhere in this
Michigan metropolis of ours, Gomez,

86
00:06:22,986 --> 00:06:26,100
there's a bed with your name
on it. Seek and ye shall find.

87
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,201
You think we're working the kid too hard?

88
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,022
It's obvious you have
met this little red-headed

89
00:06:31,034 --> 00:06:33,560
number that he's been
running around with lately.

90
00:06:34,300 --> 00:06:36,780
Lieutenant, don't you want to hear
what ballistics had to say?

91
00:06:38,280 --> 00:06:42,588
 It was a .22, possibly a target
pistol, but its slants and

92
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:47,500
its grooves failed to match
up with anything on our files.

93
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,260
How does he do that, Captain?

94
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,220
Don't ask me. I just come here for the coffee.

95
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:20,440
Bonjour, Madame.

96
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:21,520
Bonjour, Roger.

97
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:26,060
A thousand pardons.
Monsieur McCallum just telephoned.

98
00:07:26,420 --> 00:07:30,360
He implores your forgiveness, but
he has been unavoidably detain...

99
00:07:30,361 --> 00:07:32,760
Detained? For how
long?

100
00:07:32,785 --> 00:07:33,785
I don't know.

101
00:07:38,130 --> 00:07:39,870
We traced the bridge work to a finder.

102
00:07:42,150 --> 00:07:45,630
A list of all the customers was obtained
when the dentists were contacted.

103
00:07:45,770 --> 00:07:46,986
And who were the
smoke sergeants?

104
00:07:47,010 --> 00:07:48,010
 I did.

105
00:07:48,270 --> 00:07:51,223
The bone button turns out
to be a specialty item, and the

106
00:07:51,248 --> 00:07:55,250
entire consignment was
bought by a corn-gold and suns.

107
00:07:55,470 --> 00:07:57,700
A local manufacturer
of quality men's suits,

108
00:07:57,712 --> 00:07:59,750
and they carry the
line in three stores.

109
00:08:02,470 --> 00:08:05,658
We managed to come up with
a fairly comprehensive list of

110
00:08:05,670 --> 00:08:08,870
all the regular customers
during the crucial time period.

111
00:08:08,871 --> 00:08:10,350
Damn it, such a list.

112
00:08:11,569 --> 00:08:15,620
Simultaneously, and with the
cooperation of the local medical

113
00:08:15,632 --> 00:08:18,950
society, all the available orthopedic
surgeons were canvassed...

114
00:08:18,975 --> 00:08:22,370
and pertinent information
elicited wherever possible.

115
00:08:22,670 --> 00:08:24,450
Pastrami on rye Russian dressing.

116
00:08:28,350 --> 00:08:29,510
Your party.

117
00:08:30,910 --> 00:08:32,170
You never had us up there, huh?

118
00:08:34,130 --> 00:08:34,510
Well?

119
00:08:34,903 --> 00:08:35,510
Well?

120
00:08:35,829 --> 00:08:36,910
Well?

121
00:08:36,970 --> 00:08:39,563
Well, we checked our
information against those men

122
00:08:39,588 --> 00:08:43,383
who were reported missing
during calendar year 1957...

123
00:08:43,408 --> 00:08:46,370
who generally match the
victim's physical description.

124
00:08:46,690 --> 00:08:48,346
Well, don't stop there.
Give me, give me that.

125
00:08:48,370 --> 00:08:50,490
Give you a bupkis. We came up dry. Nothing.

126
00:08:51,950 --> 00:08:52,550
Give me the ME.

127
00:08:52,890 --> 00:08:53,890
Right, Lieutenant.

128
00:08:55,230 --> 00:08:57,470
You know, let me talk to Moskowitz.
This is Saperstein.

129
00:08:59,570 --> 00:09:03,350
Since when do we start a catering
service for homicide suspects?

130
00:09:03,700 --> 00:09:06,390
Captain, who do you think
picked up the tab for all of this?

131
00:09:07,460 --> 00:09:08,750
Oh, it's how he killed his wife.

132
00:09:08,850 --> 00:09:10,150
Well, nobody's perfect, right?

133
00:09:10,590 --> 00:09:12,110
Lieutenant, the ME's on the line.

134
00:09:12,703 --> 00:09:13,670
Moskowitz.

135
00:09:13,695 --> 00:09:14,390
Yeah?

136
00:09:14,730 --> 00:09:17,218
Based on the buttons,
let's assume for the sake of

137
00:09:17,230 --> 00:09:19,830
argument that the DOA
wasn't a blue-collar worker...

138
00:09:19,831 --> 00:09:22,012
which means that
it isn't too likely he

139
00:09:22,024 --> 00:09:24,610
busted that leg in the
performance of his job.

140
00:09:24,830 --> 00:09:25,750
How else?

141
00:09:25,843 --> 00:09:27,170
Auto accident?

142
00:09:27,195 --> 00:09:31,350
No, no, that's the only break. There's
not another fracture, not even hairline.

143
00:09:32,525 --> 00:09:34,210
Hey, hey, what about sports?

144
00:09:34,810 --> 00:09:37,946
A professional athlete does a vanishing
act. You kidding? It's gotta get some press.

145
00:09:37,970 --> 00:09:40,590
Well, amateur sports, then.
Skiing, for example.

146
00:09:40,610 --> 00:09:43,350
Now, this is exactly the kind
of break that's typical of a...

147
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,390
All right, put together
a list of ski resorts.

148
00:09:46,402 --> 00:09:48,406
Upstate New York, Maine,
Vermont, New Hampshire, like that.

149
00:09:48,430 --> 00:09:50,850
Start contacting doctors
in their general vicinities.

150
00:09:51,090 --> 00:09:52,870
What happens if we
still come up with zilch?

151
00:09:53,170 --> 00:09:55,366
Then, Fatso, like the
ever-popular Lewis and Clark,

152
00:09:55,378 --> 00:09:57,370
you start working your
way gradually westward.

153
00:09:57,470 --> 00:10:00,856
Yeah, only Lewis and Clark had an
Indian scout.

154
00:10:01,110 --> 00:10:02,790
So did General Custer.

155
00:10:03,530 --> 00:10:06,030
Theo, you've been on
this nearly a week, will you?

156
00:10:06,031 --> 00:10:07,864
Yeah, bacon and
tomato, white bread, right?

157
00:10:07,876 --> 00:10:09,850
Easy on the mayo. Is
that the way you like it?

158
00:10:10,170 --> 00:10:11,190
Eighteen years after the
fact, it still can't be done.

159
00:10:11,191 --> 00:10:14,351
And you don't even like tomatoes? They
give you hives, didn't you tell me that?

160
00:10:14,430 --> 00:10:19,370
With combined resources of the
FBI, Army Intelligence, Interpol...

161
00:10:20,030 --> 00:10:22,550
Unless you're the des
Français, it still can't be done.

162
00:10:22,910 --> 00:10:24,410
Here, have a cupcake.

163
00:10:25,910 --> 00:10:27,955
Maybe, for some reason,
the deceased was never

164
00:10:27,967 --> 00:10:29,890
reported missing, and
thanks for listening.

165
00:10:30,790 --> 00:10:32,810
Ah, Saperstein, 86th and missing men.

166
00:10:33,030 --> 00:10:36,010
All I'm looking for now is a common
denominator, any common denominator.

167
00:10:36,390 --> 00:10:40,690
If a name, just one name, separates
more than one category, eh?

168
00:10:43,050 --> 00:10:48,910
Monica, remind me to lecture you on the
salutory properties of the Shirley Temple.

169
00:10:50,890 --> 00:10:53,790
Bartender, put Mrs.
Gibney's tap on my bill.

170
00:10:54,190 --> 00:10:55,190
Can you walk?

171
00:10:55,215 --> 00:10:56,590
 A lot you care.

172
00:10:56,723 --> 00:10:59,450
By all means, Monica, let's
have a scene, but not here.

173
00:10:59,490 --> 00:11:02,070
In the dining room, where we
have a better class of audience.

174
00:11:08,450 --> 00:11:09,890
All right, what was that name again?

175
00:11:10,290 --> 00:11:11,290
Spell it, Saperstein.

176
00:11:11,690 --> 00:11:14,790
B-R-A-D-E-N.

177
00:11:15,150 --> 00:11:16,170
All right, thank you.

178
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:27,260
Last of these.

179
00:11:32,300 --> 00:11:35,280
Dear chap Atlas, your pal Hercules

180
00:11:35,830 --> 00:11:38,030
is about to lift the world
from your sagging shoulders.

181
00:11:38,055 --> 00:11:39,220
Do you see this name?

182
00:11:39,245 --> 00:11:40,400
Gary Braden.

183
00:11:40,740 --> 00:11:43,860
Now I want you to wing it on its way
to all those ski resorts we talked about.

184
00:11:44,100 --> 00:11:45,140
That's what you want, huh?

185
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:49,260
And that's what I want, because
you see, this here name was

186
00:11:49,261 --> 00:11:51,160
just laid on me by the indefatigable
Saperstein, you know him.

187
00:11:51,620 --> 00:11:54,080
Not only was the gentleman a
customer at one of the clothing stores

188
00:11:54,081 --> 00:11:56,620
handling the suits with
the distinctive bone buttons,

189
00:11:56,925 --> 00:11:59,340
he was also a patient of
one of the dentists on the list.

190
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:01,300
So, get cracking, Ace.

191
00:12:01,580 --> 00:12:03,840
Let's see if we can't
make it three out of three.

192
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:06,320
Move!

193
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:09,920
Where's Gomez?

194
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:11,640
You sent him home, Lieutenant, remember?

195
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:12,840
That was yesterday.

196
00:12:13,220 --> 00:12:15,700
I told him to get some shut-eye,
not knock off for the winner.

197
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:17,380
How'd you call his pad, Shorty?

198
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:19,100
Tell him to get it over here.

199
00:12:19,340 --> 00:12:21,240
I'm sending a vice
squad after his girlfriend

200
00:12:21,590 --> 00:12:23,800
with orders to book her
as a public health hazard.

201
00:12:27,560 --> 00:12:29,460
I love that suit.

202
00:12:32,300 --> 00:12:34,580
Brooks, Givenchy, Saint Laurent.

203
00:12:35,266 --> 00:12:37,140
Yours did have marvelous taste.

204
00:12:37,500 --> 00:12:40,740
And isn't it super that you have
the word with all to indulge it?

205
00:12:40,765 --> 00:12:41,380
Keith!

206
00:12:41,412 --> 00:12:42,980
Smile, Monica.

207
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,680
Keith, if you don't talk to me,
I think I'm going to scream.

208
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,640
I believe you would, Gary.

209
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,760
The late, unlimited Mr. Braden.

210
00:12:54,100 --> 00:12:55,340
Bones, Monica.

211
00:12:56,060 --> 00:12:58,900
A bag full of disinterred bones.

212
00:12:58,901 --> 00:13:01,840
You swore to me that they
would never find him, ever.

213
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:03,620
Urban renewal, Monica.

214
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,520
There was a time when
a building could last

215
00:13:06,521 --> 00:13:08,000
a half a century before
anybody tore it down.

216
00:13:08,900 --> 00:13:11,520
Now the foundation hardly
has a chance to settle.

217
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:13,600
Much progress.

218
00:13:13,680 --> 00:13:15,800
And I shouldn't complain,
it's made me a millionaire.

219
00:13:15,860 --> 00:13:17,260
A lot of good it's going to do you.

220
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,940
All right, they've uncovered the remains,

221
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:21,820
but the remains of what, Monica?

222
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:23,820
Use your head, my love.

223
00:13:24,300 --> 00:13:27,080
After all this time, how can
they possibly trace it to us?

224
00:13:27,081 --> 00:13:30,080
They could trace a
snowflake and a blizzard first.

225
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,100
Ah, the artichoke.

226
00:13:45,860 --> 00:13:47,140
You're going to love it for us.

227
00:13:47,340 --> 00:13:48,696
Yeah, well, I'll have
to love it on the run,

228
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,200
because if I don't get out of
here too sweet, I'll blow it up.

229
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,500
What can I tell you, I'll
blow another dental apart.

230
00:13:54,660 --> 00:13:56,700
No, the name you gave me, Gary Braden.

231
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,800
It took three days, but Lake
Placid finally clinched it for us.

232
00:13:59,950 --> 00:14:03,940
The subject had a skiing accident in
the winter of 1955 and broke his left leg.

233
00:14:04,620 --> 00:14:06,440
Stavros, what can I tell you?

234
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:09,900
You want us with or without the Novotane?

235
00:14:09,940 --> 00:14:12,380
Oh, I've got a feeling I...
Oh, excuse me, Captain.

236
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:15,560
I've got a feeling I don't want it at all.

237
00:14:16,100 --> 00:14:18,520
I got this bell in my
head, it won't stop ringing.

238
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:20,400
Braden, I said.

239
00:14:20,580 --> 00:14:22,180
Now where have I heard that name before?

240
00:14:22,620 --> 00:14:26,700
So I call my good friend Charlie Weinstein
on the Metropolitan desk over at the Times.

241
00:14:27,140 --> 00:14:28,920
Now he doesn't even
have to check the files.

242
00:14:28,995 --> 00:14:30,700
That's the kind of a memory Charlie has.

243
00:14:31,020 --> 00:14:33,220
Gary Braden, fugitive embezzler,

244
00:14:33,245 --> 00:14:35,495
died May 12th, 1957

245
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,100
in the crash of an airliner bound for Rio.

246
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,080
May 12th?

247
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,572
Well, Lieutenant, that concrete
was poured on May the 8th.

248
00:14:42,633 --> 00:14:43,633
Yeah...

249
00:14:44,100 --> 00:14:46,440
You got a hunch I just
blew another solid gold filling.

250
00:14:52,940 --> 00:14:55,080
I'm sure you're mistaken, Lieutenant.

251
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:59,900
I mean, do you have positive proof that the
skeletal remains belonged to Gary Braden?

252
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:04,940
Well, positive, no, but I am a skeptic
if there are too many coincidences.

253
00:15:05,340 --> 00:15:06,660
You know, Braden's disappearance,

254
00:15:06,740 --> 00:15:08,820
I've read the newspaper, Count.
What's your version?

255
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:13,700
Well, as you know, I
was the president of the

256
00:15:13,701 --> 00:15:14,760
Empire State Mutual Funds
and Gary was a controller.

257
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,000
The first inkling we
had that something was

258
00:15:18,001 --> 00:15:19,860
amiss was when the
airliner went down at sea

259
00:15:19,861 --> 00:15:22,140
and Gary's name appeared
upon the passenger list.

260
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,366
Of course, there
being no reason why he

261
00:15:25,391 --> 00:15:27,140
should not notify us
when he left the country,

262
00:15:27,393 --> 00:15:29,220
we ordered an immediate audit

263
00:15:29,470 --> 00:15:31,600
and discovered nearly $3 million missing.

264
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,220
Now, of course, the company went bankrupt

265
00:15:34,221 --> 00:15:36,800
and many small investors
lost their life savings.

266
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:39,780
It was a very tragic calamity, Lieutenant.

267
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:41,960
Would you like a highball?

268
00:15:42,020 --> 00:15:43,520
Can I offer you some refreshment?

269
00:15:44,846 --> 00:15:45,846
No, thank you.

270
00:15:46,100 --> 00:15:50,080
Would you happen to recall our friend who
had a Braden report of work after May 8th?

271
00:15:50,081 --> 00:15:53,740
Well, I don't remember
an exact date, but he

272
00:15:53,741 --> 00:15:54,861
did call one day and
he said he had the flu..

273
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:56,300
I'd be missing a day or two, yes.

274
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:57,456
You spoke to him personally?

275
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:58,640
No, he called my secretary.

276
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:00,776
Oh, well, then I'd like
to interview that lady.

277
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,420
Well, that's a trifle impossible.

278
00:16:02,500 --> 00:16:04,080
She's been dead six or seven years.

279
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,880
Well, anyhow, Lieutenant, I'm
sure you're mistaken about Braden.

280
00:16:08,380 --> 00:16:12,280
Why would anyone want to kill
him and then hide the corpse?

281
00:16:12,645 --> 00:16:14,040
I can come up with something.

282
00:16:14,340 --> 00:16:16,840
Just suppose Braden wasn't an embezzler.

283
00:16:17,060 --> 00:16:18,600
Suppose he discovered the shortage.

284
00:16:18,601 --> 00:16:21,740
Suppose he confronted
the perpetrator or

285
00:16:21,765 --> 00:16:24,000
perpetrators and had
been wasted for his trouble.

286
00:16:24,113 --> 00:16:27,260
The books then doctored
to frame him and the, quote,

287
00:16:27,453 --> 00:16:29,720
guilty flight to Brazil set up.

288
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:31,966
Really, Lieutenant,

289
00:16:32,300 --> 00:16:34,360
I like a good whodunit
as much as the next man.

290
00:16:34,900 --> 00:16:39,260
But why would your hypothetical
killer go to such complicated lengths?

291
00:16:39,380 --> 00:16:41,680
To end the search for Braden
and for the missing Braden.

292
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:42,840
It's not bad.

293
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:44,480
Embezzler flees to Rio,

294
00:16:44,780 --> 00:16:46,440
a city already up to its
armpits to find out the truth.

295
00:16:46,441 --> 00:16:49,020
with his friends and fugitives,
happily exploring the fact that Brazil

296
00:16:49,021 --> 00:16:51,700
has no extradition treaty with the U.S.
of A.

297
00:16:52,580 --> 00:16:55,820
Well, say that your conjecture
had some basis in reality.

298
00:16:56,160 --> 00:17:00,100
The man who was supposed to
impersonate Braden perished at sea.

299
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:01,240
Convenient, isn't it?

300
00:17:01,460 --> 00:17:06,580
Lieutenant, I hate to blow a
gaping hole in your scenario.

301
00:17:07,350 --> 00:17:08,940
But before boarding the plane,

302
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,740
the man would have had
to present Gary's passport.

303
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:16,720
Now, four days elapsed
between the burial of the

304
00:17:16,721 --> 00:17:17,900
corpse and the departure
of the Brazilian flight.

305
00:17:18,420 --> 00:17:20,040
Now, tell me this, Lieutenant.

306
00:17:20,740 --> 00:17:25,060
How could someone come up with a
passable double on such short notice?

307
00:17:27,940 --> 00:17:31,180
You know something, that's a very,
very good question, Mr. McCallum.

308
00:17:31,940 --> 00:17:33,580
And it's, uh,

309
00:17:33,780 --> 00:17:36,960
it's questions like that that keep
us awake nights in the cop business.

310
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:41,241
The collapse of Empire State and mutual
funds, it didn't hurt you too bad, did it?

311
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:42,320
Well, Lieutenant,

312
00:17:43,120 --> 00:17:44,240
ever since infancy,

313
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,440
I've always had the uncanny ability

314
00:17:46,565 --> 00:17:48,480
to always land on my feet.

315
00:17:55,770 --> 00:17:57,390
What can I tell you?

316
00:17:58,210 --> 00:17:59,210
Good job, here.

317
00:18:19,220 --> 00:18:20,313
Hello?

318
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:21,860
It's Monica? It's Keith.

319
00:18:22,693 --> 00:18:23,340
Yes.

320
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:24,840
Now, not to worry,

321
00:18:25,220 --> 00:18:27,060
but there's a distinct possibility

322
00:18:27,210 --> 00:18:30,580
you're liable to get a visit
from an inquisitive detective,

323
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:32,100
Lieutenant Kojak.

324
00:18:32,360 --> 00:18:33,676
They think it's Gary, don't they?

325
00:18:33,700 --> 00:18:36,980
They think it might be,
but there's no hard proof.

326
00:18:38,100 --> 00:18:40,280
Then, uh, you're
not sweating it.

327
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,340
Aye, not in the least.

328
00:18:57,090 --> 00:18:57,709
Beth?

329
00:18:57,734 --> 00:18:58,376
Yes?

330
00:18:58,490 --> 00:19:02,110
Contact the guy, Bridges,
with the Trojan security.

331
00:19:02,710 --> 00:19:05,350
Tell him I'd like to see him
this afternoon, if possible.

332
00:19:05,516 --> 00:19:07,110
Right away, sir.

333
00:19:26,710 --> 00:19:27,890
A pretzel, yes, sir.

334
00:19:29,550 --> 00:19:30,550
Thank you, sir.

335
00:19:31,770 --> 00:19:33,110
I want a pretzel, not a weapon.

336
00:19:34,530 --> 00:19:35,290
Take another one.

337
00:19:35,490 --> 00:19:36,790
Sorry about that.

338
00:19:49,010 --> 00:19:49,750
No mess.

339
00:19:49,775 --> 00:19:51,546
Yeah, Lieutenant. Yeah, try to stay awake.

340
00:19:51,570 --> 00:19:53,610
This is important.
Where's my change, Harry?

341
00:19:53,611 --> 00:19:55,610
Oh, yeah, Lieutenant. I almost forgot.

342
00:19:55,790 --> 00:19:56,790
Sure.

343
00:19:57,670 --> 00:20:01,150
I want you to draw up a list of those
male Caucasians fitting or costly,

344
00:20:01,770 --> 00:20:03,610
resembling Gary Braden's
general description,

345
00:20:03,850 --> 00:20:08,310
who are reported missing
honor immediately 57.

346
00:20:08,470 --> 00:20:09,570
Yeah, I don't get it, Lieutenant.

347
00:20:09,571 --> 00:20:10,590
What are we looking for?

348
00:20:11,030 --> 00:20:12,390
We're looking for a ringer, Gomez.

349
00:20:12,810 --> 00:20:13,910
A dead ringer.

350
00:20:19,950 --> 00:20:23,330
Bridges, I want you to locate a
man for me, an Anton Maychak.

351
00:20:26,450 --> 00:20:27,450
Maychak Karl.

352
00:20:28,350 --> 00:20:29,550
Reported missing June 25th,

353
00:20:30,930 --> 00:20:33,050
nearly six weeks
after the airline crash.

354
00:20:33,350 --> 00:20:34,850
Yeah, not too promising, huh?

355
00:20:35,950 --> 00:20:37,650
Says here a Wilbur Dietz found the report.

356
00:20:37,730 --> 00:20:39,570
What's a Wilbur Dietz?
Maychak's a landlord.

357
00:20:39,690 --> 00:20:40,950
We're trying to locate him now.

358
00:20:41,150 --> 00:20:45,810
All right, do that. I don't also like a
photo of Karl Maychak. He was a TV repairman.

359
00:20:45,850 --> 00:20:47,906
Maybe there's an angle there.
-Angle? What kind of angle?

360
00:20:47,930 --> 00:20:48,930
How should I know?

361
00:20:49,236 --> 00:20:50,390
I want to be out of here.

362
00:20:51,070 --> 00:20:52,110
Okay, just give me a rest.

363
00:20:53,050 --> 00:20:54,050
How's it too, Lieutenant? Lousy.

364
00:20:54,270 --> 00:20:57,150
Oh, um, uh, how's the
broad? Hey, all right.

365
00:20:57,430 --> 00:21:00,270
Not too crazy about the
work schedule, though.

366
00:21:00,470 --> 00:21:02,006
Why don't you ship her to the Catskills?

367
00:21:02,030 --> 00:21:03,830
She'd make a terrific boys' camp counselor.

368
00:21:03,970 --> 00:21:05,390
Oh, it's funny, Lieutenant. Funny.

369
00:21:06,450 --> 00:21:07,450
How you doing, Captain?

370
00:21:09,210 --> 00:21:10,210
Leo, surprise, surprise.

371
00:21:10,530 --> 00:21:14,270
I'm catching a lot of flack from
upstairs over the amount of time,

372
00:21:14,730 --> 00:21:18,570
money, manpower that you're pouring
into this case, the phone bill alone.

373
00:21:18,650 --> 00:21:23,990
Frank, if my scenario's on target, there's
a better than even chance that plane crash

374
00:21:24,540 --> 00:21:25,790
was no accident.

375
00:21:26,130 --> 00:21:28,010
And what you're saying? 
-I'm saying

376
00:21:28,260 --> 00:21:30,530
whoever perpetrated the initial homicide

377
00:21:30,730 --> 00:21:34,130
may be responsible for over
80 additional deaths as well.

378
00:21:35,090 --> 00:21:36,230
There's logic to it, Frank.

379
00:21:36,670 --> 00:21:40,210
The disappearance of that airliner
disposed of both the alleged embezzler

380
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:41,560
and the missing loot.

381
00:21:42,090 --> 00:21:44,170
Now, even if the odds were
a thousand to one, would the

382
00:21:44,171 --> 00:21:45,811
commissioner really wish
me to drop the investigation?

383
00:21:46,590 --> 00:21:47,590
No.

384
00:21:48,150 --> 00:21:51,151
I think we're gonna have to bring in
the Federal Aviation boys into the picture.

385
00:21:51,450 --> 00:21:53,510
I understand it's still
just a bundle of hunches.

386
00:21:53,690 --> 00:21:56,830
A push to the wall, I have to admit, we
don't have a positive idea on the skeleton.

387
00:21:57,510 --> 00:21:58,710
Circumstantial evidence, sure.

388
00:21:59,090 --> 00:22:00,730
But nothing we go to the grand jury with.

389
00:22:00,950 --> 00:22:02,510
Braden's dentist, deceased.

390
00:22:03,010 --> 00:22:05,350
Son took over the practice,
examines the fillings,

391
00:22:05,790 --> 00:22:07,130
claims it looks like Papa's work,

392
00:22:07,650 --> 00:22:09,686
only it's not something he can
swear to on the witness stand.

393
00:22:09,710 --> 00:22:12,030
Well, what about the orthopedic
surgeon up at Lake Placid?

394
00:22:12,055 --> 00:22:15,410
I thought he retired from practice six years ago.
Threw away all his x-rays

395
00:22:15,411 --> 00:22:17,370
when he moved from his office.
I'm beautiful.

396
00:22:17,650 --> 00:22:19,590
You'd shown him the photos
of the bone graft,

397
00:22:19,615 --> 00:22:20,615
the steel pins.

398
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,170
And he thinks he did the job.
Thanks, Frank.

399
00:22:23,310 --> 00:22:24,910
After nearly 20 years,

400
00:22:25,250 --> 00:22:28,370
listening to a man well into his
70s, would a jury be persuaded?

401
00:22:28,903 --> 00:22:29,870
Would you?

402
00:22:29,930 --> 00:22:33,250
Uh, boss, we found Braden's widow.

403
00:22:35,096 --> 00:22:36,025
Damn.

404
00:22:36,050 --> 00:22:37,286
What's the matter? What'd I do now?

405
00:22:37,310 --> 00:22:40,070
Oh, no, not you, dummy.
This cockamamie pizza?

406
00:22:40,550 --> 00:22:41,550
Just shank my tooth.

407
00:22:55,780 --> 00:22:56,220
Gibney.

408
00:22:56,540 --> 00:22:58,080
Uh, that's your maiden name?

409
00:22:58,206 --> 00:22:59,840
Yes. I, uh,

410
00:23:00,373 --> 00:23:02,340
reverted back to it because of the scandal.

411
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,960
I see. You've, uh, never remarried then?

412
00:23:04,985 --> 00:23:05,985
No.

413
00:23:06,340 --> 00:23:09,761
No. My husband's life insurance
left me well provided for, Lieutenant.

414
00:23:09,980 --> 00:23:13,740
Ah. Had you any forewarning,
any inkling of what

415
00:23:13,741 --> 00:23:15,360
Mr.Braden was involved in?

416
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:17,720
Gary and I were separated at the time.

417
00:23:17,780 --> 00:23:19,660
Under the circumstances, I hardly
think he would have confided in me.

418
00:23:19,661 --> 00:23:21,900
And when was the
last time you saw him?

419
00:23:21,901 --> 00:23:23,740
Uh, about a month

420
00:23:24,115 --> 00:23:26,220
before the
disappearance. I think.

421
00:23:26,221 --> 00:23:29,480
I'm not sure about that. Did you hear
from him at all during that period? No.

422
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:31,960
Only by mail.

423
00:23:31,961 --> 00:23:34,020
My allowance checks
would come once a week.

424
00:23:34,021 --> 00:23:36,300
They always arrived on a Monday.

425
00:23:36,460 --> 00:23:37,780
On Monday, huh? I see.

426
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:39,700
Did you receive a check on Monday,

427
00:23:40,260 --> 00:23:41,940
May 11th, the day before the crash?

428
00:23:42,300 --> 00:23:46,060
No. I remember distinctly because
I was so annoyed at the time.

429
00:23:46,061 --> 00:23:47,260
I contemplated calling Gary.

430
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,200
But then I decided to wait a day,

431
00:23:50,550 --> 00:23:52,960
allowing for some
mix-up at the post office.

432
00:23:53,020 --> 00:23:54,700
Sure enough, on Tuesday morning,

433
00:23:55,300 --> 00:23:56,300
the check arrived.

434
00:23:57,610 --> 00:23:58,900
I noted the postmark.

435
00:23:59,060 --> 00:24:00,980
It was, uh, Sunday afternoon.

436
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:02,520
You have a phenomenal
memory, Mrs.

437
00:24:02,521 --> 00:24:04,540
Braden.

438
00:24:04,700 --> 00:24:05,980
Not really, Lieutenant.

439
00:24:06,530 --> 00:24:08,540
It's simply there are some
things one never forgets.

440
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:12,360
And now, if, uh, if you'd
know further questions, I'm

441
00:24:12,361 --> 00:24:14,774
sure you can appreciate
that this subject hardly revives

442
00:24:14,820 --> 00:24:15,820
nostalgic memories.

443
00:24:16,450 --> 00:24:18,650
I don't know.
You don't seem to have suffered too much.

444
00:24:19,430 --> 00:24:21,080
My husband had no
relatives, Lieutenant.

445
00:24:21,540 --> 00:24:23,100
I was his sole beneficiary.

446
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,700
You won't find me
pretending to grieve.

447
00:24:26,701 --> 00:24:28,680
I believe the Lord helps
those who help themselves.

448
00:24:28,900 --> 00:24:30,260
Oh, he do indeed.

449
00:24:34,610 --> 00:24:36,660
But had your husband merely vanished,

450
00:24:37,260 --> 00:24:40,560
which would have been the case if those
bones were his, you'd have to wait seven

451
00:24:40,561 --> 00:24:42,520
years for him to be
declared legally dead.

452
00:24:42,521 --> 00:24:44,580
Seven years, yes.

453
00:24:44,581 --> 00:24:46,380
And not only would you not
have collected on the double

454
00:24:46,381 --> 00:24:48,540
indemnity clause.
It's possible the insurance

455
00:24:48,541 --> 00:24:50,420
company might have
refused to pay anything at all.

456
00:24:50,421 --> 00:24:54,440
Except for Gary Braden's
name on that passenger

457
00:24:54,441 --> 00:24:58,300
list, you could be standing behind a rip
encounter at the, uh, at the dime store.

458
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:00,580
Not a dime store, Lieutenant.

459
00:25:01,470 --> 00:25:04,280
Please, give me a little
more credit than that.

460
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:05,660
Oh, I do.

461
00:25:35,226 --> 00:25:35,860
Yeah.

462
00:25:35,885 --> 00:25:39,060
Saperstein, I want you to
determine if either Monica Gibney

463
00:25:39,061 --> 00:25:41,008
Braden or her husband
ever filed for divorce.

464
00:25:41,033 --> 00:25:42,540
Well, what's that
supposed to buy us?

465
00:25:42,620 --> 00:25:46,001
Well, 18 years ago, divorce laws in the
state were a lot tougher than they are now.

466
00:25:46,026 --> 00:25:48,616
There are only three
primary grounds, insanity,

467
00:25:48,641 --> 00:25:50,280
abandonment, and adultery.

468
00:25:50,540 --> 00:25:52,140
And to prove the lie that you had a name of

469
00:25:52,141 --> 00:25:54,000
correspondent, you
get my drift, Saperstein?

470
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:55,040
I got it now, boss.

471
00:25:55,065 --> 00:25:56,356
Terrific.

472
00:26:05,710 --> 00:26:06,840
Yes, ma'am, can I help you?

473
00:26:07,190 --> 00:26:09,180
Young man, I'm Emily Pembroke.

474
00:26:09,181 --> 00:26:10,880
You'll see,

475
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:15,120
I wish to see Detective Second
Grain, Demosthenes Stavros.

476
00:26:15,220 --> 00:26:16,180
Is he expecting you?

477
00:26:16,220 --> 00:26:18,087
Well, we spoke on the phone.

478
00:26:18,173 --> 00:26:22,740
He offered to come to my apartment,
but I told him I'd rather come here.

479
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:24,940
You see, I've never been inside

480
00:26:25,090 --> 00:26:26,440
a police station before.

481
00:26:26,940 --> 00:26:29,981
And at my age, I doubt
I'll get a second chance.

482
00:26:30,655 --> 00:26:32,980
Oh, oh, are you

483
00:26:33,130 --> 00:26:34,920
a gumshoe? 
-Yes, ma'am.

484
00:26:34,970 --> 00:26:36,315
Oh, good.

485
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:41,715
But it's about poor Mr. Braden.
You see, I was his secretary.

486
00:26:41,740 --> 00:26:44,260
Would you like to step
right in here? -Thank you.

487
00:26:44,980 --> 00:26:46,700
Right this way. This way.

488
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:48,640
Yes. Stavros, old buddy.

489
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,840
This is Miss Emily Pembroke, Mr.

490
00:26:52,841 --> 00:26:54,560
Braden's private secretary.

491
00:26:54,561 --> 00:26:56,140
Oh, Miss Pembroke,
please sit down.

492
00:26:56,780 --> 00:26:58,740
That's Miss Pembroke.

493
00:26:58,910 --> 00:27:00,260
I've been liberated.

494
00:27:00,900 --> 00:27:02,320
Now about Mr. Braden.

495
00:27:02,470 --> 00:27:04,480
Of course. You see, personally,

496
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:08,200
I liked him, though he was
by nature rather thin-skinned.

497
00:27:08,300 --> 00:27:12,180
Like everyone else, I was terribly
shocked by the embezzlement.

498
00:27:12,595 --> 00:27:14,200
But he had been acting somewhat

499
00:27:14,325 --> 00:27:16,500
peculiarly, you know.

500
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:21,228
And he'd left that last Thursday immediately
after receiving an outside phone call.

501
00:27:21,253 --> 00:27:22,713
What about his marriage?

502
00:27:22,733 --> 00:27:24,699
Oh, Mr. Braden was a very private person.

503
00:27:24,746 --> 00:27:28,340
They'd been separated over
a month before I learned of it.

504
00:27:28,565 --> 00:27:30,020
And then only by accident.

505
00:27:30,120 --> 00:27:34,100
You see, I was working late one night
catching up on some overdue reports.

506
00:27:34,420 --> 00:27:38,220
And I phoned the Braden home to
get some information. That's when his

507
00:27:38,221 --> 00:27:41,540
wife notified me that
he no longer lived there.

508
00:27:42,540 --> 00:27:44,921
Do you suppose I might have a cup
of coffee?

509
00:27:45,374 --> 00:27:46,374
Rizzo...

510
00:27:46,580 --> 00:27:47,688
What about other women?

511
00:27:47,715 --> 00:27:49,915
 If my boss was a secret swinger,

512
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:53,640
it was the neatest treat
since Jekyll and Hyde.

513
00:27:54,060 --> 00:27:56,300
Yeah? -A cup of joe for our guest,
sir. How do you take it?

514
00:27:56,611 --> 00:27:57,380
Black.

515
00:27:57,940 --> 00:27:58,940
Okay.

516
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,340
What about when Braden phoned in sick

517
00:28:01,341 --> 00:28:05,240
May the 8th? Did you have occasion to
speak to him after that? I was specifically

518
00:28:05,241 --> 00:28:09,220
instructed by Mr. Per Callum not to
disturb him. And anyway, it was Friday

519
00:28:09,420 --> 00:28:11,801
and I took it for granted that
the weekend would bring

520
00:28:11,826 --> 00:28:13,240
Mr.Braden around.

521
00:28:13,580 --> 00:28:16,195
He never was one
to coddle himself.

522
00:28:16,220 --> 00:28:17,880
Thank you.

523
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,880
When Monday came and I still
didn't hear from him, I began to worry.

524
00:28:27,460 --> 00:28:31,700
Ignoring Mr. McCallum's orders and
was told the phone was off the hook.

525
00:28:35,070 --> 00:28:37,140
Please, you won't say anything.

526
00:28:37,460 --> 00:28:39,480
I wouldn't want to hurt his feelings.

527
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:41,580
Feelings? Whose feelings?

528
00:28:41,940 --> 00:28:45,180
You see, I'm sure he
tries the sweet thing.

529
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:49,360
But truly, I've been drinking
coffee for nearly half a century

530
00:28:49,635 --> 00:28:51,300
and this has got to be absolutely

531
00:28:51,450 --> 00:28:53,820
the vilest concoction I've ever tasted.

532
00:28:54,420 --> 00:28:55,420
Well,

533
00:28:55,581 --> 00:28:57,700
then remain our little secret.

534
00:28:58,310 --> 00:29:00,040
Oh, good.

535
00:29:00,041 --> 00:29:01,860
And now I'll let you
in on another secret.

536
00:29:02,176 --> 00:29:06,116
When I learned that the phone
was off the hook, I slipped over to Mr.Braden's

537
00:29:06,141 --> 00:29:08,100
 on my lunch
break and I persuaded

538
00:29:08,101 --> 00:29:10,468
the super to let me in
with his passkey,

539
00:29:10,622 --> 00:29:11,960
Mr.Stavros.

540
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,180
The apartment was empty.

541
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,900
Finding Anton Maychak is a stickier
number than we figured, Mr. McCallum.

542
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:23,880
I mean, this dude, wherever he is,

543
00:29:24,140 --> 00:29:26,020
he's got to be a born loser.

544
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,080
No roots, no ambition.
Dress from one job to the next.

545
00:29:28,081 --> 00:29:31,480
Now look, hash
slinger, pearl diver,

546
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:33,940
grease monkey,
warehouse jock, you name it.

547
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:35,100
You name it!

548
00:29:35,233 --> 00:29:36,913
It don't make any mind to him.

549
00:29:36,973 --> 00:29:38,573
Well, it does to me.

550
00:29:38,740 --> 00:29:41,326
I don't want any
excuses, Burgess.

551
00:29:41,351 --> 00:29:45,540
I want him found. No matter how much money
it takes, I want Anton Maychak found.

552
00:29:51,900 --> 00:29:54,260
I've been in touch with both Aero Brasilia

553
00:29:54,261 --> 00:29:56,746
and the Federal Aviation
Investigators on a crash.

554
00:29:57,086 --> 00:29:59,041
Here's what they come up with.

555
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,980
While it was never
admitted publicly, the

556
00:30:03,981 --> 00:30:05,900
possibility of a bomb
was strongly suspected,

557
00:30:06,020 --> 00:30:07,980
but no trace of the wreckage was ever found

558
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,160
so they had no shred
of evidence to back it up.

559
00:30:10,260 --> 00:30:12,636
A bomb constructed by anybody.

560
00:30:12,661 --> 00:30:13,920
Well,

561
00:30:14,060 --> 00:30:16,300
to coin a phrase, where
there's a will, there's a way.

562
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,900
Three million balloons can
generate a lot of willpower.

563
00:30:19,950 --> 00:30:22,460
Today, with all those
sophisticated detection devices,

564
00:30:22,620 --> 00:30:23,960
it couldn't be smuggled on board,

565
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:25,120
but 18 years ago.

566
00:30:25,460 --> 00:30:30,060
How the hell are you going to trace
maybe a few sticks of dynamite, wire,

567
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,121
a drugstore alarm clock
after 18 years?

568
00:30:35,039 --> 00:30:36,039
 Yeah.

569
00:30:37,060 --> 00:30:38,300
Yeah, Gomez, hold it.

570
00:30:44,610 --> 00:30:45,310
Yeah, Gomez.

571
00:30:45,590 --> 00:30:47,230
Yeah, I'm out in Bensonhurst, Lieutenant.

572
00:30:47,510 --> 00:30:48,736
Mount Heave gone home for the elderly.

573
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:50,160
Oh, didn't think you were that old.

574
00:30:50,310 --> 00:30:52,130
No, I'm not signing myself in.

575
00:30:52,710 --> 00:30:56,710
Nah, a guy just located at
Wilma Dietz, the guy who

576
00:30:56,711 --> 00:30:58,550
filed that missing prices
report on Carl Maychak.

577
00:30:59,290 --> 00:31:00,290
Hold tight.

578
00:31:03,310 --> 00:31:04,310
Adios, amigo.

579
00:31:08,810 --> 00:31:10,990
Lieutenant, your hunch paid off.

580
00:31:11,210 --> 00:31:13,090
On May 7, 1957,

581
00:31:13,430 --> 00:31:17,611
Mrs. Monica Braden filed for a divorce,
naming Rosemary Hawkins as correspondent.

582
00:31:19,010 --> 00:31:20,010
So?

583
00:31:20,050 --> 00:31:21,050
 So that's it.

584
00:31:21,075 --> 00:31:23,230
Go find Rosemary Hawkins.

585
00:31:23,255 --> 00:31:24,815
You got it.

586
00:31:26,570 --> 00:31:29,470
Carl Maychak,
who could forget him?

587
00:31:29,810 --> 00:31:32,050
Always behind on his rent, he was.

588
00:31:33,395 --> 00:31:36,690
But go holler on such a
good hearted schmoogeggie.

589
00:31:37,710 --> 00:31:39,170
He disappeared, you know.

590
00:31:39,263 --> 00:31:40,326
Yes, that's why we are...

591
00:31:40,350 --> 00:31:45,216
One day he came home
so happy he was, there was

592
00:31:45,241 --> 00:31:48,090
this big business
proposition he'd fallen into,

593
00:31:48,115 --> 00:31:51,231
guaranteed to make
him wealthy for life.

594
00:31:52,850 --> 00:31:55,470
Wouldn't be you
smoke cigars, officer?

595
00:31:55,710 --> 00:31:57,270
No, but I could offer you one of these.

596
00:31:57,510 --> 00:31:59,730
No, don't offer.

597
00:31:59,950 --> 00:32:00,950
It's not allowed.

598
00:32:02,295 --> 00:32:05,930
But if you want to
light one up, maybe

599
00:32:06,205 --> 00:32:09,830
could be I could sneak a
little drag from time to time.

600
00:32:10,170 --> 00:32:13,031
What kind of business proposition,
Mr. Dietz, did Maychak say?

601
00:32:13,250 --> 00:32:15,470
He was sworn to secrecy.

602
00:32:15,750 --> 00:32:19,290
All I know is he had to leave town
for a couple of weeks and he asked

603
00:32:19,291 --> 00:32:22,515
my niece and me would we take
care of his little boy.

604
00:32:22,540 --> 00:32:29,230
 And since he insisted on paying us $200 for
our trouble, how could I refuse?

605
00:32:30,900 --> 00:32:33,970
That was the last we
saw of Carl Maychak.

606
00:32:42,830 --> 00:32:43,910
Nothing personal,

607
00:32:44,030 --> 00:32:46,390
but a Corona Corona, that's not.

608
00:32:46,770 --> 00:32:48,010
Well, what happened to the boy?

609
00:32:48,295 --> 00:32:50,510
We carried him as long as we could.

610
00:32:50,770 --> 00:32:54,010
We had three of our own, you
know, and times were hard then.

611
00:32:57,990 --> 00:32:59,070
But when

612
00:33:00,370 --> 00:33:05,890
six weeks went by and we
didn't get so much as a postal

613
00:33:05,891 --> 00:33:07,170
card, we ripped him off
and reported him as missing.

614
00:33:07,730 --> 00:33:10,970
The juvenile authorities
took charge of little Anton.

615
00:33:11,730 --> 00:33:13,370
Little. Let's see.

616
00:33:13,950 --> 00:33:15,530
He'd be 24 now.

617
00:33:15,850 --> 00:33:19,070
But where he is, even
if he's alive or dead,

618
00:33:19,290 --> 00:33:20,870
it is anyone's guess.

619
00:33:21,170 --> 00:33:22,850
Can you recall
anything at all, Mr.

620
00:33:22,950 --> 00:33:25,450
Dietz? Anything before
Maychakk's disappearance

621
00:33:25,451 --> 00:33:26,870
that would be significant
to us?

622
00:33:26,930 --> 00:33:28,350
No, I'm sorry.

623
00:33:28,631 --> 00:33:31,470
Except Carl was a very happy man.

624
00:33:31,810 --> 00:33:34,830
Such happiness I
never saw in all my life.

625
00:33:35,236 --> 00:33:39,230
You might ask little Anton,
though, if you can find him.

626
00:33:39,530 --> 00:33:40,624
He saw the man.

627
00:33:40,751 --> 00:33:41,751
What man?

628
00:33:42,070 --> 00:33:46,570
That man who made that sensational
business proposition to Anton's daddy.

629
00:33:46,956 --> 00:33:50,650
Anton came home just
as the man was leaving.

630
00:33:50,856 --> 00:33:52,550
Commerce, yeah.

631
00:33:52,623 --> 00:33:55,010
A box of cigars for Mr. Dietz.

632
00:33:56,530 --> 00:33:58,010
No, thank you.

633
00:33:59,250 --> 00:34:01,230
Say you do track down Maychakk's kid.

634
00:34:02,250 --> 00:34:05,190
You're pinning a lot of
hopes on the recollections

635
00:34:05,191 --> 00:34:08,090
of something glimpsed
briefly by a six-year-old boy.

636
00:34:08,670 --> 00:34:09,670
No.

637
00:34:10,450 --> 00:34:12,410
It's not just that frag.
It's everything.

638
00:34:12,435 --> 00:34:14,755
Everything we've turned
up so far supports our theory.

639
00:34:15,283 --> 00:34:17,590
Gary Braden, Carl Maychak.

640
00:34:18,150 --> 00:34:19,210
Without a scorecard,

641
00:34:19,235 --> 00:34:21,030
their own mama couldn't tell them apart.

642
00:34:21,055 --> 00:34:23,650
Granted, too, that Maychak was last seen

643
00:34:23,651 --> 00:34:26,171
on the very day the
Brazilian flight that left LaGuardia.

644
00:34:26,310 --> 00:34:29,030
That still doesn't explain
how in a city this size

645
00:34:29,180 --> 00:34:33,110
the perpetrator managed to come up
with Braden's twin just when he needed him.

646
00:34:33,330 --> 00:34:34,810
All right, clown this.

647
00:34:36,930 --> 00:34:38,450
Wonder Boy Keaton McCallum on his duff

648
00:34:38,451 --> 00:34:40,590
following the collapse of
Empire State mutual funds

649
00:34:40,715 --> 00:34:42,970
makes a meteoric comeback in 1958

650
00:34:43,245 --> 00:34:47,250
thanks to the generous financing
Are You Ready?, a newly organized

651
00:34:47,251 --> 00:34:51,370
Delaware corporation whose
board of directors consists of four

652
00:34:51,371 --> 00:34:54,710
unidentified John Doe's and
guess who's a major stockholder

653
00:34:54,910 --> 00:34:56,510
in McCallum Enterprises.

654
00:34:56,511 --> 00:34:58,390
Braden's widow, Monica Gibney.

655
00:34:58,650 --> 00:35:00,890
It stinks, Frank.

656
00:35:03,290 --> 00:35:04,290
Come on.

657
00:35:04,690 --> 00:35:07,571
Give me that much. Okay,
so it's all circumstantial.

658
00:35:08,290 --> 00:35:10,390
But if the grand jury's
waiting for a smoking

659
00:35:10,391 --> 00:35:14,310
gun, somebody better clue
them that they're 18 years too late.

660
00:35:16,710 --> 00:35:20,590
Rosemary Hawkins, the alleged correspondent
of Braden's divorce complaint.

661
00:35:21,130 --> 00:35:23,579
Well, her name's not
Rosemary Hawkins anymore.

662
00:35:23,604 --> 00:35:28,031
It's Mrs. Villapiano, and
Saperstein found her in Queens.

663
00:35:28,430 --> 00:35:30,690
Well, he's bussing dishes
at a midtown cafeteria.

664
00:35:30,691 --> 00:35:32,750
He sacks out at a roach
farm on the Bowery.

665
00:35:32,751 --> 00:35:36,870
It's all here in my report, Mr. McCallum.
What time does it get off work?

666
00:35:37,330 --> 00:35:38,150
Hmm,

667
00:35:38,256 --> 00:35:40,770
8.30. That's P.M.

668
00:35:41,150 --> 00:35:42,630
All right, Burgess. Thank you.

669
00:35:42,631 --> 00:35:43,631
I'll take it from here.

670
00:35:55,900 --> 00:35:59,900
I was a hat-check girl at a
restaurant where Gary used to lunch.

671
00:35:59,901 --> 00:36:00,980
It wasn't anything serious.

672
00:36:01,980 --> 00:36:03,720
I mean, he was unhappy
and lonely,

673
00:36:04,500 --> 00:36:05,500
and so was I.

674
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:08,300
I had just moved here from Nebraska.

675
00:36:09,380 --> 00:36:12,000
I was a divorcee with a
small daughter to support.

676
00:36:12,460 --> 00:36:14,220
There'd been an ugly custody battle.

677
00:36:14,580 --> 00:36:15,600
That's why I moved east,

678
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:17,340
to get away from my ex-husband.

679
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:20,040
Gary was gentle, understanding,

680
00:36:20,720 --> 00:36:21,720
and good to Sandy.

681
00:36:21,780 --> 00:36:23,640
Did you know he was married, Mrs.
Villapiano?

682
00:36:24,620 --> 00:36:29,640
Yes, but I didn't ask any questions,
and Gary didn't volunteer any answers.

683
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:31,520
And one day, out of the blue,

684
00:36:31,940 --> 00:36:33,760
I was named as
correspondent in Mrs.

685
00:36:33,761 --> 00:36:35,580
Braden's divorce action.

686
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:38,080
I called Gary at the office.

687
00:36:38,100 --> 00:36:39,460
He was just served himself.

688
00:36:39,740 --> 00:36:42,300
We met at my apartment
to discuss the situation.

689
00:36:45,100 --> 00:36:46,806
Well, I was half out of my mind.

690
00:36:47,006 --> 00:36:50,140
A scandal like that was all the grounds
my ex needed to take Sandy from me.

691
00:36:50,141 --> 00:36:53,820
Now, Braden was pretty
upset, I suppose. He was furious.

692
00:36:54,470 --> 00:36:56,020
I'd never seen him in such a state.

693
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,660
He swore that I'd never
lose Sandy because of him.

694
00:36:59,900 --> 00:37:01,280
He was going to talk to Monica

695
00:37:01,820 --> 00:37:03,540
and force her to withdraw her action.

696
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:05,440
He went storming out

697
00:37:05,590 --> 00:37:06,980
after telling me not to worry.

698
00:37:07,510 --> 00:37:08,780
I never heard from him again.

699
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:10,640
Well, you must have tried to contact him.

700
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:12,140
I had no idea where he lived,

701
00:37:12,660 --> 00:37:14,760
except that he'd moved
into a bachelor apartment

702
00:37:14,761 --> 00:37:17,600
somewhere in the east side,
and his phone was unlisted.

703
00:37:18,060 --> 00:37:19,800
I called the office the next day,

704
00:37:19,825 --> 00:37:21,400
and they told me he was out sick.

705
00:37:21,500 --> 00:37:23,741
What did you think when
you didn't hear from Mr.

706
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:25,260
Braden? Well,
what could I think?

707
00:37:25,426 --> 00:37:27,020
Gary knew where to reach me.

708
00:37:28,260 --> 00:37:29,420
He could have made the effort

709
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:31,620
if he cared enough, so he didn't.

710
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:33,860
He just grabbed the money and ran.

711
00:37:34,546 --> 00:37:36,173
Anyway, I still made out.

712
00:37:36,926 --> 00:37:40,600
Gary's death halted
the divorce proceedings.

713
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:44,920
I kept Sandy, and in
time I met Mr. Villapiano.

714
00:37:45,180 --> 00:37:49,880
Mrs. Villapiano, it may be that
you've well misjudged Braden.

715
00:37:50,180 --> 00:37:52,301
That's quite possible. The
reason you never heard

716
00:37:52,325 --> 00:37:54,200
from him is because
he died that same night.

717
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:55,960
Well, how's that possible?

718
00:37:56,100 --> 00:37:59,800
Well, we believe that the
man that boarded that plane

719
00:37:59,801 --> 00:38:01,480
the following Tuesday
might have been an impostor.

720
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:03,540
Yeah, it could have been.

721
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:06,200
You know, Gary had

722
00:38:06,460 --> 00:38:08,180
a sort of commonplace kind of face.

723
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:10,980
He was often mistaken
for somebody else.

724
00:38:11,706 --> 00:38:14,777
Once, it was a few weeks before he disappeared,

725
00:38:14,930 --> 00:38:17,057
 Gary was helping me
hang new curtains,

726
00:38:17,370 --> 00:38:21,157
when he mentioned that he'd had the oddest
experience in his apartment building.

727
00:38:21,197 --> 00:38:24,685
A handyman of some sort. It
was an exact double for him.

728
00:38:24,725 --> 00:38:27,153
It could have been
a TV repairman.

729
00:38:27,353 --> 00:38:29,800
Yeah, come to think of it,
that's exactly what he was.

730
00:38:30,380 --> 00:38:33,201
Would you know if he told anyone
else about the incident?

731
00:38:33,597 --> 00:38:34,637
He must have.

732
00:38:35,170 --> 00:38:36,480
A story like that?

733
00:38:37,514 --> 00:38:40,540
Well, Gary,
he'd have blabbed it all over the office.

734
00:38:43,980 --> 00:38:44,980
Mm-hmm.

735
00:39:15,310 --> 00:39:16,410
This lady drags a kitten.

736
00:39:16,411 --> 00:39:18,030
Says he's got this gun.

737
00:39:18,150 --> 00:39:19,930
It's the first she knows of it.

738
00:39:19,931 --> 00:39:22,530
Claims he found it while playing
in the debris of a construction site.

739
00:39:23,230 --> 00:39:25,550
Uh, 22 target pistol, right?

740
00:39:25,810 --> 00:39:27,490
Yeah, the kids apparently had it for days.

741
00:39:27,650 --> 00:39:29,610
Mama found it while she
was cleaning up his room.

742
00:39:30,030 --> 00:39:33,450
I tagged the piece and sent it
down to ballistics for comparison

743
00:39:33,451 --> 00:39:35,171
firing to see if it's the same
gun that wasted our John Doe.

744
00:39:35,230 --> 00:39:38,770
I doubt if they can fire it, though, because
things are all rotten and corroded and all.

745
00:39:39,056 --> 00:39:41,590
Well, why are you at it, Dipples?
Did you also

746
00:39:41,591 --> 00:39:43,431
tell them to see if it's
possible to determine

747
00:39:43,670 --> 00:39:45,490
who the gun was originally registered to?

748
00:39:46,456 --> 00:39:47,456
Lieutenant,

749
00:39:48,290 --> 00:39:51,591
who was the one that put this investigation
on the right track in the first place?

750
00:39:51,970 --> 00:39:53,350
This is my vintage year.

751
00:39:53,890 --> 00:39:55,970
Oh, good she cool.

752
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:36,180
All right, so what do we got here now?

753
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:39,800
We know now how the killer managed to
come up with a double for Braden, right?

754
00:40:41,300 --> 00:40:42,140
I love these movies.

755
00:40:42,260 --> 00:40:43,556
It's just like the movies, you know?

756
00:40:43,580 --> 00:40:45,828
You play Watson, I'll be Sherlock Holmes.

757
00:40:45,853 --> 00:40:49,580
And we've recovered what we've
presumed to be the murder weapon.

758
00:40:51,260 --> 00:40:51,975
Oh, well.

759
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,200
You know something?
I really feel like Sherlock Holmes.

760
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,300
You're close, Theo,
but still no cigar.

761
00:40:58,060 --> 00:40:59,620
Now, obviously, Watson,

762
00:40:59,966 --> 00:41:02,060
Braden's widow will
have to be quizzed again.

763
00:41:03,620 --> 00:41:05,760
He split Rosemary's pair to have a showdown

764
00:41:05,761 --> 00:41:08,320
with his missus, and that
was the night of May 7.

765
00:41:08,820 --> 00:41:09,820
Next day,

766
00:41:10,125 --> 00:41:11,220
he's dipped in cement.

767
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:14,940
It's the hours between the time he
set a deal with the Miss Nebraska

768
00:41:15,425 --> 00:41:18,441
and the pouring of the concrete
that haven't been accounted for, right?

769
00:41:18,860 --> 00:41:22,880
And I don't look for much in the way of
constructive help, Watson, from Monica Gibney

770
00:41:23,433 --> 00:41:24,660
on that subject.

771
00:41:27,180 --> 00:41:28,300
Oh, my dear Watson,

772
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:31,800
we can only find

773
00:41:32,310 --> 00:41:33,340
that Maychak kid.

774
00:41:35,660 --> 00:41:37,600
Lieutenant, Stavros is on the phone.

775
00:41:37,660 --> 00:41:39,520
He just located Anton Maychak.

776
00:41:58,460 --> 00:42:00,380
I can't understand it.

777
00:42:00,405 --> 00:42:02,100
He came in about 15 minutes ago,

778
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:03,880
collected his key, and he went upstairs.

779
00:42:04,700 --> 00:42:05,800
Didn't go out again.

780
00:42:06,140 --> 00:42:07,140
Not through the lobby.

781
00:42:07,900 --> 00:42:10,840
At least, that house fed
you on a stack of Gideons.

782
00:42:11,780 --> 00:42:13,520
You don't suppose it was
some of them that followed you?

783
00:42:13,521 --> 00:42:15,140
Our agents kidnapped him.

784
00:42:15,500 --> 00:42:18,301
Going to torture Anton for
information about his old man, huh?

785
00:42:18,470 --> 00:42:19,860
You want to run that by
me again?

786
00:42:20,020 --> 00:42:21,020
Oh, he's pappy.

787
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:23,280
That's all Anton ever talked about.

788
00:42:23,300 --> 00:42:24,340
You couldn't shut him up.

789
00:42:24,820 --> 00:42:27,240
Everybody figured he
was just blowing smoke.

790
00:42:27,820 --> 00:42:30,140
Now it kind of looks like
maybe he was leveling, huh?

791
00:42:30,890 --> 00:42:33,180
Just what did Maychak
say concerning his father?

792
00:42:33,860 --> 00:42:34,860
Boy.

793
00:42:37,460 --> 00:42:42,840
Claimed he was a real spook with
a CIA real heavyweight super brain.

794
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:46,120
Said he'd been sent behind the Iron
Curtain when Anton was just a kid.

795
00:42:46,500 --> 00:42:48,496
And the reason he
couldn't stay in touch with

796
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:50,081
Anton was on account
it would blow his cover.

797
00:42:50,380 --> 00:42:52,680
But he was going to come
back one day soon, Anton said.

798
00:42:52,900 --> 00:42:55,720
And the two of them would be
together again just like it used to be.

799
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:57,900
I thought he was pulling my chain.

800
00:42:58,270 --> 00:42:59,696
Well, don't get too torn up about it.

801
00:42:59,720 --> 00:43:01,900
You know, we'll check
the Russia Secret Service.

802
00:43:02,060 --> 00:43:03,060
We'll check the CIA.

803
00:43:03,500 --> 00:43:04,500
We'll throw in the FBI.

804
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:06,000
Whatever makes you happy.

805
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:18,500
That window usually left open?

806
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:20,080
No, no, only in the summertime.

807
00:43:20,700 --> 00:43:21,700
Let me see.

808
00:43:21,780 --> 00:43:23,860
All right, get a forensic
team over here right away.

809
00:43:23,940 --> 00:43:26,720
I want them to check the window
ledge, that fence down there.

810
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:28,800
I just want the kids'
personal effects inventory.

811
00:43:29,820 --> 00:43:31,716
And I might desk the
first thing in the morning.

812
00:43:31,740 --> 00:43:32,740
Yes, sir.

813
00:43:57,730 --> 00:43:58,730
Why are we stopping ever?

814
00:43:58,810 --> 00:44:00,610
Why wasn't Maychak back in his hotel room?

815
00:44:00,810 --> 00:44:02,490
Why go to the trouble
of putting the snatch app

816
00:44:02,491 --> 00:44:04,870
and having done so, is
our killer going to pack

817
00:44:04,871 --> 00:44:06,750
them all the way to Jersey
Pine Barrens? No way.

818
00:44:07,070 --> 00:44:10,010
Not with a friendly neighborhood dumping
ground just down the block, eh, Frank?

819
00:44:10,950 --> 00:44:12,750
Then we'd better get
some men down here, huh?

820
00:44:16,390 --> 00:44:17,390
Lieutenant? Captain?

821
00:44:17,523 --> 00:44:18,523
Over here.

822
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:28,680
This time we got here
ahead of the cement mixers.

823
00:44:28,799 --> 00:44:29,800
Same, M.O.

824
00:44:29,980 --> 00:44:31,160
But for a different reason.

825
00:44:31,493 --> 00:44:33,080
Anton Maychak murdered.

826
00:44:33,081 --> 00:44:34,540
It could raise a lot of questions.

827
00:44:34,693 --> 00:44:36,200
But Anton Maychak vanished,

828
00:44:36,266 --> 00:44:38,340
just another deadbeat barry skip.

829
00:44:38,660 --> 00:44:39,700
Well, let's face it, gang,

830
00:44:41,240 --> 00:44:43,480
we've been outflanked.

831
00:44:47,460 --> 00:44:48,460
Okay, bye.

832
00:44:50,460 --> 00:44:51,460
Boss,

833
00:44:52,260 --> 00:44:54,280
that's one of the two
target pistol we recovered.

834
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:57,960
It was purchased by Gary
Braden in November of 1956.

835
00:44:58,340 --> 00:44:59,480
Burdened by his own piece?

836
00:45:01,055 --> 00:45:02,055
Doesn't fit, Captain.

837
00:45:02,390 --> 00:45:04,551
I mean, not into the scenario
we've been running with.

838
00:45:04,580 --> 00:45:05,740
So, we'll rewrite it.

839
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:08,800
Begin with the proposition that
Braden's not the embezzler.

840
00:45:09,020 --> 00:45:11,411
Add to it the fact that
he had left Rosemary

841
00:45:11,436 --> 00:45:13,460
Hawkins on the night of
May 7th to see his wife.

842
00:45:13,620 --> 00:45:15,940
Now, it's highly unlikely
that he was packing the gun

843
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:18,620
since he'd gone to Rosemary's
directly from his office.

844
00:45:19,340 --> 00:45:21,780
Maybe he stopped by his
apartment on the way to Monica's.

845
00:45:21,860 --> 00:45:24,140
That's possible, but highly improbable.

846
00:45:24,340 --> 00:45:26,421
He was trying to prevent
a scandal at the Star Wars.

847
00:45:26,620 --> 00:45:29,280
So, unless he was walking
into a preconceived ambush,

848
00:45:29,346 --> 00:45:31,160
also highly unlikely,

849
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:34,036
how did the killer come
up with the victim's gun?

850
00:45:34,060 --> 00:45:35,340
The killer already had the gun.

851
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:37,880
Braden moved out on the misses, right?

852
00:45:38,180 --> 00:45:41,020
Probably just packed some clothes,
toilet articles, toothbrush, whatever,

853
00:45:41,220 --> 00:45:42,220
and he took off.

854
00:45:42,913 --> 00:45:45,660
All right? The pistol was left behind.

855
00:45:45,685 --> 00:45:49,040
And on the night of May 7th, in
the midst of a knockdown argument,

856
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:50,940
Monica grabbed the gun and shot him.

857
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:53,320
Then panicked. She phoned Keith McCallum,

858
00:45:53,620 --> 00:45:54,620
spilling her guts to him.

859
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:57,320
He hurried over, took
charge of the situation,

860
00:45:58,100 --> 00:45:59,520
disposing of Gary's corpse,

861
00:45:59,845 --> 00:46:02,080
and instructing the widow, hey, keep cool.

862
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:05,836
As of this moment, though, in time, there's
no embezzlement, right? That came after.

863
00:46:05,860 --> 00:46:07,540
And McCallum knew just how to pull it off.

864
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:11,940
Thanks to Braden's casual mention
of his encounter with Carl Maychak.

865
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:15,700
First, though, McCallum needed to buy
some time so he could set things up, right?

866
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:17,840
Which he did by explaining Gary's absence

867
00:46:17,841 --> 00:46:20,040
from the office with a
story that he'd called in sick.

868
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:22,860
It was easy enough to lay his
hands on Braden's passport,

869
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:26,180
probably left behind at
monikers like the pistol.

870
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:27,740
And Carl Maychak

871
00:46:27,890 --> 00:46:29,480
once McCallum had tracked him down,

872
00:46:29,653 --> 00:46:31,280
could have been more accommodating.

873
00:46:31,306 --> 00:46:33,080
You know, we'll probably
never know what kind of number

874
00:46:33,081 --> 00:46:37,080
he did on Maychak's head, but
as a safe guest of this poor slob,

875
00:46:37,380 --> 00:46:39,780
he climbed aboard that plane
carrying a bomb in his luggage.

876
00:46:40,140 --> 00:46:41,780
Well, I'll buy that, the whole package.

877
00:46:42,500 --> 00:46:43,440
But the D.A.

878
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:45,700
won't, neither will the
grand jury. What a break.

879
00:46:46,060 --> 00:46:47,680
Anton Maychak,

880
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:51,060
the only known witness who could
link up McCallum with his father.

881
00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:53,360
Might have tied a ribbon
on this, but he's dead.

882
00:46:53,420 --> 00:46:54,600
And this is his estate.

883
00:46:55,100 --> 00:46:58,760
Twenty-four fun-filled
years on this glorious

884
00:46:58,761 --> 00:47:00,360
planet, and he can pack
his entire life in a shoebox.

885
00:47:00,570 --> 00:47:01,960
Some snapshots of his daddy,

886
00:47:02,720 --> 00:47:04,940
couple of Christmas
cards, birth certificate.

887
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:08,153
What do we got here? High
school diploma, courtesy of

888
00:47:08,178 --> 00:47:10,006
St.Andrew's orphanage.

889
00:47:10,295 --> 00:47:12,520
Well, five-rated capper key.

890
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:19,200
KM 61251.

891
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:22,200
You know those stories the kid
laid on Lafferty? We know that jazz

892
00:47:22,201 --> 00:47:24,520
about his daddy being a
secret agent is just dogwash.

893
00:47:24,521 --> 00:47:26,960
So I figure it's all
from the same weed.

894
00:47:26,961 --> 00:47:29,080
But five-beta capper?

895
00:47:29,420 --> 00:47:30,740
I mean, those things
don't come in cereal boxes.

896
00:47:30,741 --> 00:47:32,620
Devoted to his kid?

897
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:34,560
T-Totler?

898
00:47:35,240 --> 00:47:36,280
No known vices?

899
00:47:36,700 --> 00:47:38,640
All those credentials, and he
still couldn't land a decent job.

900
00:47:38,641 --> 00:47:40,480
What are you looking for,

901
00:47:41,100 --> 00:47:42,460
Lutan? That rundown
on Karl Maychak.

902
00:47:42,461 --> 00:47:45,380
Here it is.

903
00:47:47,060 --> 00:47:48,696
Dropped out of high
school in the 10th grade.

904
00:47:48,720 --> 00:47:51,501
But how'd he get the... KM.

905
00:47:52,490 --> 00:47:55,920
There's another man with the same initials.

906
00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:57,320
Keith McCallum.

907
00:47:57,440 --> 00:48:00,502
And around a thing like
this, not even his daddy's,

908
00:48:00,527 --> 00:48:02,628
Anton Maychak had built a dream.

909
00:48:06,590 --> 00:48:09,930
Pursuant to our conversation
Friday last, and having consulted

910
00:48:09,931 --> 00:48:13,310
the current price index and
allowing for the 6% override.

911
00:48:15,630 --> 00:48:16,630
Yes, Beth.

912
00:48:16,910 --> 00:48:19,070
Lieutenant Kojak to see you, Mr. McCallum.

913
00:48:20,030 --> 00:48:21,030
Send him in.

914
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:49,040
One day,

915
00:48:50,426 --> 00:48:51,860
for no reason at all,

916
00:48:52,473 --> 00:48:53,820
I discovered it was missing.

917
00:48:54,580 --> 00:48:57,360
For the life of me, I couldn't
remember where I dropped it.

918
00:48:58,260 --> 00:49:00,520
I haven't thought about it in years.
It's been so long.

919
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:02,220
That's how it goes sometimes.

920
00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:06,840
McCallum.

921
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:07,920
Phi Beta Kappa.

922
00:49:08,900 --> 00:49:09,900
Scholastic merit.

923
00:49:10,740 --> 00:49:12,440
Or Phi Vita Kappa.

924
00:49:12,740 --> 00:49:14,100
Phi for fat, Vita

925
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:16,220
for beautiful, and Kappa for cops.

926
00:49:16,720 --> 00:49:17,760
And between us two,

927
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:19,880
we've compiled maybe

928
00:49:19,980 --> 00:49:21,480
30 years' experience under force.

929
00:49:21,820 --> 00:49:23,720
You being a prudent man, if I was you,

930
00:49:23,940 --> 00:49:26,080
I wouldn't let those 83
killings go to my head.

931
00:49:26,140 --> 00:49:27,480
This is the big time, baby.

932
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:29,140
82, Lieutenant.

933
00:49:29,700 --> 00:49:31,540
82, one belongs to Monica.

934
00:49:32,140 --> 00:49:33,880
Credit where credit is due.

935
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:37,181
And I thought the age
of chivalry was dead.

936
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:39,520
