drink

okay

take it from an old campaigner hey

chicks are like planes one takes off

another one's coming in for a landing

something must have came up an emergency

maybe

i've got to find joy before the police

find you

that hadn't really registered

the police are probably looking for me

right now back in avalon

they'll send word on ahead

i'll look around but uh there's a guy at

the bargain that jake keeps looking at

us at least i think he's looking at us

he's gone

listen hank

you aren't the only dude with a problem

in a way

you and i got the same trouble except

you're trying to find a bird and i'm

trying to lose one

i guess so of course if i get cut well

it's a pain in the neck but uh if you

get cut

i just need some time

hey

i got a wild idea

why didn't you and i switched places

you'll be jerry strandford well i'll be

handcuffed that is a while now what do

you think about it

how long do you see it

i haven't really figured a week maybe

i know where joyce that her folks lived

where she might go then we have this

little hideaway place i bought for us

sort of like a honeymoon cottage

but it wouldn't work

nobody would ever take me for you

when the boat docks

i gave my identification my car

everything you'll be in a clear to do

whatever you have to do then i'll drive

yours from the lot where you shipped it

and we'll meet a week say in oceanside

it's just impossible enough to work

let's just forget about it it's been

awfully nice talking to you but i really

think i better

well hank

what do you say we give it a go

get us both off the hook

there you go thanks

and thanks for lending me the 50 i'll

pay you after i catch a check and we get

back together right here keys and

identification are inside

the next week

you're jerry strang

okay

no i forgot

joy's picture

okay heck

till next wednesday in oceanside

oh and uh

good luck

my

hey

[Applause]

wow

wow

so

[Applause]

[Music]

so

so if i turn myself in

admit that i'm alive

they're going to say that i swindled

your mr dexter out of 37 000

and then trying to get away i killed

jerry to cover my tracks

and if you go on being jerry strand

you know nothing about him yet after two

drinks on the steamer you agreed to

switch identities with him what can i

tell you

excuse me

mr dexter called back mr mason he's

agreeable to you representing mr carroll

and he'll go along with the financial

arrangements meanwhile he'll keep the

whole thing confidential thanks dylan

thank you very much

that's really a load off of my mind

now if i could just find out what

happened to joy in the money

all right

if you say you gave her the check so

that she could deliver the cash to the

seller

but you never saw the money no

but

i do have this

now this is jerry's money i found it in

this trunk

that's why i changed my mind went back

to find them i see

jerry stranded all this money in the

trunk of his car

but he had to borrow 50 from you that's

right

that's right

mr carroll you left me waiting at the

yacht club you knew i was aware of the

missing cash

and wouldn't it seem i'd be the last

person you'd come to

i was reading my obituary in the paper

they said some real nice things

then i saw your picture

that case in catalina

and i remembered our talk on the island

you were very decent about it mr carol

no mr mason i know this doesn't make any

sense but

what am i going gonna do

all right

[Applause]

you stay away from the cottage today we

don't know who was looking over jerry's

car but

we can't have him knock on what he

thinks is jerry's door and find you

there

and better put this in my safe

will you pardon me please

please

this story is so wild it's hard to

believe he's invented it

do you think he's telling the truth

i don't know

but i like to find out put this in the

safe

then after hank signs the dexter papers

take him to lunch a quiet secluded

restaurant

a long leisurely lunch

there may be a movie i want him out of

circulation as long as possible

where are you going to be on a boat

for hank carroll's burial at sea

hank carroll loved the sea

indeed

it filled his life

since the tragic loss of his beloved

wife edna eight years ago

so we find it entirely fitting and

proper

those of us who loved him

his friends and associates

should carry out his fervently expressed

wish to be buried at sea my dear

if you would please

just here

we wish hank harold eternal peace

in the words of the poet

twilight an evening star and one clear

call for me

to get to me

especially when it's a close friend

i still can't believe it of all hank

he uh

all people would run off with the

client's money

is that what happened

oh i can't swear that he embezzled it

but the thing is he had no savvy about

money

when this last deal came up he didn't

even know how to handle a cash

transaction

i had to make the arrangement with the

bank to cash a 37 000 check

it wasn't very bright of hang to endorse

the check if he intended to abscond with

the money

oh

this is perry mason alex bert

uh hank and i shared an office

and uh alice ran my insurance business

and hank's got brokerage couldn't do

without her

reverend bueller told me i could ask him

to perform the marriage ceremony

oh poor hank

he was deluding himself

he decided to buy a honeymoon cottage

he even pulled dave into throwing a

bachelor dinner for him

why do you say he was deluding himself

because there was never going to be any

wedding

it was all in hank's mind

i didn't know anything about a honeymoon

cottage

you've spent so much time in florida

lately

you had no idea how hank was up in the

air about that little

i understood he was marrying enjoy

montgomery who disappeared the night of

disappeared

it's a shame she didn't

or even better if she never appeared in

the first place

how could she have the colossal nerve

after using hank the way she did to show

up for his funeral

she's here

excuse me

dave

do you have any idea what happened to

the money

i heard you'd left the island

for a day or so on the mainland

when i read about hank i came back

i suppose you've talked to the police

about the missing money

oh sure

i cast a check as hank asked me to

and gave him 37 000 new bills

that was the last time i saw him

and it must have been a terrible shock

the man you were planning to marry

killed while absconding with i wasn't

planning to marry hank

the marriage plans were all in his mind

well they certainly weren't in mine

hi

did paul get off i dropped him at the

airport he's on his way to florida most

of the names in jerry strand's wallet

are in the miami area

why was jerry strand carrying all that

money paul finds the answer to that

question maybe some of this will begin

to make sense

did you enjoy the funeral

the more than most way back four paul

bears and joy montgomery got seasick joy

montgomery but

i know what hank said

she said she gave the money to hank and

said she never even considered marrying

him

i don't believe her i believe hank it's

getting harder all the time to believe

good old hank

by the time we'd had lunch

he told me every romantic detail and he

was so sincere so plaintiff

tears came to your eyes and you knew he

was telling the truth

as a matter of fact yes

you want to be a cynic okay but i know

if there were no marriage plans not even

whisper hank would have gone that far

planned his retirement bought a cottage

here on the mainland it doesn't make

sense neither did switching identities

with jerry strand makes sense

but if hank's telling the truth then joy

montgomery lied to me

i know she did

if she didn't intend marrying hank and

why did you go to a decorator shop and

select all the furniture for their

honeymoon cottage

joy did that

joy did that she was a very sharp lady

with elegant taste we'd already agreed

on fabrics and colors some very

exquisite pieces

she told you she was the future mrs hank

carol that's right in fact she said she

was getting married soon

never heard of any wedding plans

[Applause]

was this the woman

i know

but you just said she was the future mrs

hank carol that's what i said but not

this girl

she was a more mature woman

fort lauderdale isn't the happy

what is this a perfect stranger makes a

telephone call and some of you are mr

hospitality

why

because i'm worried about jerry and this

man knows about him

i will bet you that this man is either

looking for jerry to collect on a poker

day or he is a friend of jerry's who

thinks he's going to live off the bus

for a weekend

well watch what you say

and try

listening your mouth that's asking a lot

wow mr drake

ice cold and ready to win that old

whistle

watch this out there darling

[Music]

there we go ah

frozen daiquiri

that's beautiful

you know vision everybody can slow mr

melis you have a great future as a

bartender

ah no deal

i'm retired

deep sea fishing's the only thing i'm

interested in now

whoop

uh

about our friend jerry

he in trouble again

do you have a habit of being in trouble

oh no it's just that uh

well you see he's the uh son of a friend

of mine and uh

since he died well i've uh

i've sort of tried to look after the boy

every time he gets in trouble with his

bookie he uses howard as a reference

seen jerry lately no no he's not back to

heaven but i've heard him talk about you

and i was wondering if you might be able

to tell me where i can find him

he owes you money too huh oh no not

ascent

does he usually carry around large sums

of money jerry

mr jerry

and your hospitality

uh

[Music]

i turned this place inside out i

couldn't find a thing

time and a number on that pad like maybe

well that's a pretty long story to get

out of 842.79 frisco well they're

checking the schedules downtown

excuse me

[Applause]

what do you make of all this

well this is the way it looks

lady came home from shopping surprised

the burglar looting the house and he

killed her nope sir

look when you don't know say you don't

know

answer the questions before you give the

answers

now the handwriting on that note's got a

left-hand slant

the victim is wearing a watching ring on

the left hand so maybe she didn't write

the note

and it was burglary

why didn't the burglar take the jewelry

and why did the burger leave that heater

door open

and the groceries

with the refrigerator and the cabinets

empty would a woman buy a six pack of

beer shaving cream razor blades and

chocolate cookies and if that car

belongs to jerry strand where is jerry

strand

[Music]

and what do you make of this

ashes under an artificial log

[Applause]

and why the devil was somebody burning

cash

put out an apb on jerry strand

i could have left l.a at 8 42 bound 2

san francisco i'm playing busted train

number 79. attention

attention

amtrak train number 79 has arrived on

track four description checks amtrak

train number 79 has arrived on track

four from los angeles

santa barbara

you're under arrest i was just kidnapped

i was forced to get on the train and he

held a gun on me all the way

who did look i don't see him now but i

swear to you there was a man with a gun

hank i've heard some strange stories

from clients

but this one of yours everything i've

told you is true i didn't kill her

you don't believe me i don't know what

to believe why else would you be running

away i was kidnapped hank it's true like

i said before the man forced me to get

on that train

why was he taking you to san francisco

at the cottage he made a long distance

call now i don't remember the number he

said he spoke to some woman before

then he told the party at the other hand

that he had jerry and he was taken to

libya in san francisco and this

kidnapper held a gun on you in plain

view of pedestrians the ticket agent

passengers the conductor and then when

the police spotted you this mystery man

just

vanished into thin air

finally you got the picture

the man that kidnapped me he thought i

was someone else jerry strand yes and i

kept saying

i am a yacht broker but he was looking

for a paper hanger

a paper hanger

yeah

yeah while you tell mr burger we're on

our way down

the district attorney wants to talk to

you

all i can tell him is what i just told

you

that isn't jerry strand

[Music]

yes

i wanted to tell you the man you booked

isn't jerry strand i just found it out

myself

who is he hank carroll i'll fill in the

details downstairs but while you're at

it fill in the details on why your

client or the girl he killed

burned up maybe 30 or 40 000 bucks in

his fireplace

why would anybody burn money unless it

was counterfeit

perry

you know me

i'm a simple soul but even i thought of

that

treasury department checked it out it

was real money and brand new

who's the lady

my mother

very proud of my services city always

wanted to see where i worked

now butt out will you lieutenant i just

thought you might be interested in

knowing about jerry sanders were you

brought out but i'm perry mason

how do you do

i'm darling

i came all the way from fort lauderdale

you see uh my employer howard elise and

i were very close to jerry

and when i heard on the television news

that jerry had been arrested i

i flew here myself because

well mr melisse was away on a fishing

trip

mr gone

jerry strand is dead

buried at sea as hank carroll

she's not the kind of breaks easily if

i'm any judge or woman if you were a

judge of women you'd have known arlene

wasn't melisa's wife

i didn't know it i said they acted

married they get one smiling sweetly and

sticking pins in each other

bella's checking on the time marlene

left florida

she said melissa was away on a fishing

trip that's why she came along

well that makes sense malice went deep

sea fishing the day after i was there i

know he stepped on a fish lure anyway

the coast guards had to take him to

miami to the hospital when blood

poisoning set in he's back at home now

under a doctor's care and inaccessible

yes dylan

yes put him on

hello mr wallin i i came as soon as i

heard hank alive i i couldn't believe it

at first

listen i've got to talk with him

you see they're putting pressure on me

because i okayed that thirty seven

thousand dollar check i'm sorry mr

waller but for now i can't allow anyone

to talk to hank

i'll let you know

good night

paul if wallander

this is the most confusing impossible

case

i don't believe it

i don't believe it

the people will prove that he lied

ladies and gentlemen of the jury

in fact he left the trail of lies

halfway across the state of california

he lied when he contrived to defraud a

boat fire

he lied when he ran away he lied to

jerry strand when he convinced strand to

exchange identities

he lied

when he played the role of a dead man

now the decedent joy montgomery she

sensed the fraud divine the lie

went to his secret hideaway where she

confronted him and there

he killed her

again he ran

this time by train and when he was

finally apprehended by the police he

tried one more last desperate lie

by explaining his flight as a kidnapping

now the people will piece together all

the fabric of this section and will

prove beyond reasonable doubt

that the defendant hank carroll

was finally caught in a net of his own

lies

no i didn't think it was exactly a lie

please miss burton we don't want to hear

what you think but what you know to be a

fact all right

i know hank believed he was getting

married joy let him believe it and i

told him

i see

so after he had made plans

had attended a stag party had bought a

house he found out what everyone else

knew all along that joy had deceived

them objection

leading the witness calling for a

conclusion hearsay and assuming facts

not in evidence withdraw the question

through the witness

mr mason

miss burton

what did you tell joy montgomery when

you learned that the defendant was going

to marry her

i told her i thought it was a joke

she was all wrong for hank she just

wasn't suitable

as compared to whom

are you trying to say

i was jealous of her

i'm not trying to say anything

i'm asking you a question

the answer is no i felt sorry for hank

but i wasn't jealous

thank you miss burton

one thing more

i have here people's exhibit three

it's an invoice from the frontal

decorators

have you ever seen it before

yes

we please tell the court why you signed

this invoice as received by you at the

defendant's cottage

i have been perfectly honest

i haven't denied that i was fond of hank

and i don't deny it now

i helped him furnish the place we do

understand that you were so fond of him

that you

selflessly helped him select furniture

for the cottage he'd bought for another

woman

hank asked me some questions and i

thought he was hinting around

that he wanted you to share that cottage

no that he needed advice in selecting

things miss burton did you also help

plan the bachelor party for the

defendant

i don't know anything about that you'll

have to ask dave wallant

why sure i kept the party a secret till

the last minute it was supposed to be a

surprise then isn't it true that the

defendant who intended to be with his

fiance that night was unexpectedly not

able to do that

well i guess that's the way it turned

out

and she used that time to get away with

the catch

well i don't know that

mr wallin who introduced joy montgomery

to mr carroll i did

and now mr wanna tell me this

did you ever visit the cottage purchase

to carol

well i uh

i i didn't know about it before until

till hank took off i didn't ask you that

i asked you if you'd ever visited that

cottage

i have to thank

mr walland i do want to be fair

it's already been established the police

questioned neighbors about people who

were seen in that area prior to the

murder

now

did you go to that cottage

yes

yes i did go out there

you see i didn't know about the place

before

i spent a lot of my time down at my

place at surf side that's in miami beach

so it came as a complete surprise to me

when miss burton told me that hank had

bought the cottage

now i figured

maybe he left the money there

see there was a lot of pressure on me

from the bank because i okay that thirty

seven thousand dollar check

[Applause]

no further questions

the people call miss arlene for gone

no i wasn't surprised when jerry was

missing

he was in hock up to his ears i told him

mr melisse wouldn't bail him out again

so

i supposed he'd done the only thing he

could do just drop out of sight

as far as you know he had no

considerable amount of money when he

left miami

not thousands and thousands of dollars

if that's what you're driving at

that's exactly what i'm getting at

you're with us

mr gone you testified

mr police wouldn't bail him out again

are we then to infer that until this

last time

he had paid jerry strand's debts

well yes as i said i wrote the checks

myself many times

why

[Applause]

i don't understand

i mean why would your employer feel

obligated

i'm mr melisa's secretary i just do what

i'm told

as his secretary did mr police tell you

to come to los angeles when you thought

jerry was in trouble

he was away on a fishing trip and when i

heard on the television news that jerry

had been arrested for murder i thought

he would want me to come here and i did

thank you

that all

for now that's quite enough

the people call lieutenant off the track

so we notify police at every stop of

amtrak train number 79 and the result

the defendant got off of san francisco

and he was arrested immediately on the

platform by local police was he with

anyone like a kidnapper no the defendant

was a long way he was apprehended

lieutenant did you examine the fireplace

at the murder site

yes and somebody had built a fire in it

well you can see that unusual well this

one was he had

burned up a considerable sum of money

perhaps thirty or forty thousand dollars

who is he

was a defendant it was his house

thank you

mr mason do you move to strike that last

answer is conclusionary i know your

honor i'm quite willing to have it stand

the jury can make its own conclusions

your honor that concludes the people's

case

are you ready to proceed with the case

for the defense mr mason there are the

defense moves for the dismissal of all

charges against the defendant henry

carroll

on what grounds

ever since his opening statement and

over and over in questioning witnesses

mr burgess contended the defendant's

sole motivation in this case was money

so so is it conceivable that once he had

sold ownership of all that money you say

he lied and killed for

he didn't build a bonfire with it burn

it in his fireplace

no your honor without some explanation

for that totally irrational action the

prosecution has no motive whatever for

hank carroll to have murdered joy

montgomery a much more than reasonable

doubt exists therefore i strongly urge

that all charges be dismissed

your honor once again we have an

instance of council's well-known

propensity for courtroom maneuver

we have been told that he holds and

trusts an amount of money roughly

equivalent to that stolen by the how do

you explain the burned money that's

enough gentlemen

i'm uh going to give proper

consideration to the motion

mean time i'll declare a recess

until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning and at

that time mr mason you have the money

here in court

i think i've been making the same

mistake right from the beginning

i haven't been accepting the possibility

that all

all of those wild ridiculous things that

hank's been telling me have been true

if they are true

did you check it out with the treasury

department better from a guy who spent

10 years in leavenworth for being an

expert so so he says it's a number one

phony the only flaw is the hair over

jackson's ear

did you try the name lippy on him that's

when i got a bonus lippy operates in san

francisco and he's got a contact in

florida that's

it the court will take custody of the

money

i agree with you mr burger it is a

departure from traditional practice

but i've denied the defense motion for

dismissal and the witness is vital to mr

mason's case but how can a jury

concentrate on substance when they're

being subjected to all the paraphernalia

of uh of show business there's no other

way to obtain mr melisa's testimony

without endangering his health we've

already determined that from his doctors

pardon me we're gonna be uh ready to go

in just a minute

well i'm not against pioneering or new

techniques but i am against all this

razzle dazzle calculated to confuse the

issues i'm sure your predecessors were

concerned when clerks stopped using

quill pens this is hardly pioneering

variations of this technique are being

used in other courts

we're all set oh good

since the witness is unable to appear in

person

and with the

agreement of the concerned parties

i am allowing the use of electronic

equipment

in this courtroom to examine the witness

i want to remind the witness that he is

under oath

and legally accountable for every word

of testimony just as if he were

physically present here in this

courtroom proceed

[Applause]

mr malize we appreciate your cooperation

oh that's that's okay i'm getting kind

of a kick out of it you know the camera

and all

mr police i'm going to show you defense

exhibit a it's a package of money which

the defendant obtained from jerry strand

jerry never had that much money in his

life

mr melissa i want you to look at this

bill carefully

do you recognize it

well yeah it's a

twenty dollar bill

how am i supposed to recognize it

try examining the hair over jackson's

ear

is this the kind of bill libby might

call a number one phony

i i i don't know what you mean

this place isn't true this counterfeit

money belongs to you no

isn't it a fact that you had someone

looking for jerry strand because he had

taken off with this package of your

counterfeit money no and that someone

called you asking for instructions and

you gave him orders to take jerry strand

oh look i'm uh i'm a very sick man i

can't take too much of this

well council approached the bench please

uh mr mason we are trying a murder case

not a counterfeit charge now i want to

know exactly where you're headed your

honor i'm sure that jerry strang was

melisa's paper hanger a password of

counterfeit money

so steven saw a chance to make a killing

grab the bundle of the phony money for

himself but there's no connection to joy

montgomery i can show there is

jerry switched identities with my client

so the melisa's contract killer would

chase him instead of jerry

that's the line of questioning i want to

pursue hey

somebody tell me what's going on

proceed mr mason i'm going to advise the

witness of his rights

mr malize

you are uh advised that you have a right

to retain counsel

and that you need not answer any

questions which may be

self-incriminating

proceed

mr police

will you tell us when you injured your

foot

it was the uh

27th i believe uh

yeah first day out on the gulf fishing

was great but hot i'd like you to turn

your attention to the 26th the last day

you spent at home before leaving on that

fishing trip

did you receive two telephone calls that

day from los angeles

i don't remember the telephone company

will mr malice with the time and the

length

and the point of origination

yeah i do remember uh uh one call

just before i sailed on my boat from a

friend with news about jerry just before

i sailed on my boat mr malaysia you're

denying under oath there was another

earlier call yes i'm denying it if there

was another call

arlene got it not me

now i don't have to answer any more of

this the judge just said so all right mr

melisse

if you won't answer the question we'll

call someone who can

misbegone that telephone call mr melisse

does not remember

do you remember it no

mr gunn if you're protecting no i'm i'm

i'm i'm protecting no one if i had

gotten that call i would have told mr

melissa about is it not true that you

couldn't tell mr police about that call

because you learned that jerry strand

was in los angeles that he was

apparently staying at a cottage he had

just bought

and that he intended to get married

that doesn't make any sense doesn't it

when you consider that the friend mr

police referred to in his testimony

mistook the defendant hank carroll for

jerry strand

you were right

i lied about the phone call

to protect him

i did take that other call

and i told howard about it

but then i found out that he'd given

orders for jerry to be killed

she's lying she told me nothing order

go honest begun

and as soon as he left for the fishing

trip i came here

i i was hoping that i could warn jerry

before the killers trapped him in that

country in previous testimony you told

the court you came here because you

thought jerry had been arrested for

murder now you're telling us it was to

prevent him from being murdered yes i

told you i admitted that i was lying

before to like because i didn't know

what he would do but now i am telling

you the truth mr gone why would you risk

everything to save jerry

because i i was in love with him

is that why you helped him steal fifty

thousand dollars in counterfeit money

yeah

you i'm grateful

you're a fool and you've always better

all right mr gone all right

you said it wasn't that tv report that

brought you to los angeles it was that

phone call

yes

but it couldn't have been because you

thought he was going to be killed

that wasn't decided until mr melisse got

the second call mr gone isn't it a fact

that you came to los angeles because you

thought jerry had run out on you i hope

they bury you when they jail you you

went to that cottage and you saw joy

montgomery the girl you thought jerry

was going to marry bending over the

money you thought you would help jerry

steele

and you killed

i thought he was trying to use me

and i saw

that girl kneeling there

with all that money in her hands

and all the time

she was dead

this court will be in recess

the bailiff will bring the witness to my

chambers and council will join me there

thank you very much mrs

hank the next time you decide to switch

identities with somebody i'll be a

little more careful sure now all i need

is to find somebody that will take on a

seven thousand dollar debt a burn can't

be declared a weapon and pay his fee

that's right your fee

you
