Look, the office said 509 00:30:42,610 --> 00:30:43,970 you had a couple of jobs that needed doing. 510 00:30:45,330 --> 00:30:47,810 First, put one of your operatives on young Witko. 511 00:30:48,030 --> 00:30:50,330 Then you think there's some truth in that $20 ,000 rumor. 512 00:30:50,570 --> 00:30:51,870 Yes, from the way he reacted. 513 00:30:53,190 --> 00:30:58,370 But second, and most pressing, Paul, I want you to find a place or places near 514 00:30:58,370 --> 00:31:00,690 the Bay Shores colony that sells bloodworms. 515 00:31:02,130 --> 00:31:04,410 Bloodworms? Favorite bait of surf fishermen. 516 00:31:05,490 --> 00:31:09,810 Ask about a fisherman, a regular customer who owns a German Shepherd, and 517 00:31:09,810 --> 00:31:11,150 find the man and bring him into court. 518 00:31:11,470 --> 00:31:13,890 But you've already got the fisherman with the dog in court. 519 00:31:14,300 --> 00:31:15,300 No, Paul. 520 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:19,160 We have somebody who thinks Bonita and Yellowtail are surf fish. 521 00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:21,360 And, of course, we know they're not. 522 00:31:22,460 --> 00:31:26,580 And then it was approximately five minutes from the time she was run down, 523 00:31:26,700 --> 00:31:29,900 Bradshaw, that Natalie James left your house to walk home. 524 00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:34,540 Yes. Did she, while she was with you, voice any apprehensions about her 525 00:31:34,540 --> 00:31:35,540 safety? 526 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:39,840 Apprehensions? She was about as far from being apprehensive as anybody could be. 527 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:44,560 with her stock suddenly worth more than she thought it was, and various people 528 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:48,080 wanting it so badly. Did she tell you who these various people were? 529 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:49,400 Yes. 530 00:31:49,660 --> 00:31:51,340 My husband and hers. 531 00:31:51,860 --> 00:31:54,080 Hers being the defendant, Randolph James. 532 00:31:54,460 --> 00:31:55,460 Yes, of course. 533 00:31:55,700 --> 00:31:57,500 He was the only husband she had. 534 00:31:58,060 --> 00:31:59,060 Of course. 535 00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:00,880 Your witness. 536 00:32:03,340 --> 00:32:07,020 I believe the decedent was wearing a valuable diamond clip at the time of her 537 00:32:07,020 --> 00:32:11,020 death, Mr. Berger. Now, since the state still has that clip in its possession, I 538 00:32:11,020 --> 00:32:13,380 would by all means, Mr. Mason, be my guest. 539 00:32:13,900 --> 00:32:14,940 Introduce it if you care to. 540 00:32:16,420 --> 00:32:17,420 Thank you. 541 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:22,420 Now, do you recognize this clip, Mrs. Bradshaw? 542 00:32:23,060 --> 00:32:24,060 Yes, it's mine. 543 00:32:24,220 --> 00:32:25,860 I loaned it to Natalie that night. 544 00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:28,660 Were you in the habit of lending Mrs. James valuable jewelry? 545 00:32:28,900 --> 00:32:32,440 No, but she said she wanted it for an especially dressy luncheon, so I let her 546 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:33,209 take it. 547 00:32:33,210 --> 00:32:33,789 I see. 548 00:32:33,790 --> 00:32:38,530 And now, Mrs. Bradshaw, I believe in your statement to the police, you said 549 00:32:38,530 --> 00:32:42,330 or five minutes before Mrs. James left, you looked at the beach through the 550 00:32:42,330 --> 00:32:45,930 telescope in your living room and saw Randolph James there fishing. Yes. 551 00:32:46,410 --> 00:32:49,450 I hoped that it would clear him, but they said it didn't. Could it have been 552 00:32:49,450 --> 00:32:53,890 less than four or five minutes before Mrs. James left that you saw him? I'd 553 00:32:53,890 --> 00:32:58,230 to say so, Mr. Mason, but I can't. Mr. Bradshaw. 554 00:32:58,730 --> 00:33:02,870 If the Lange -James antibiotic is only of dubious value, as you stated a moment 555 00:33:02,870 --> 00:33:08,370 ago, why were you then so enraged when Natalie James called on your mobile 556 00:33:08,370 --> 00:33:10,310 and told you the price of her stock had gone up? 557 00:33:10,730 --> 00:33:14,390 So you've been talking to Miss Lange. I was enraged because we'd already made a 558 00:33:14,390 --> 00:33:15,369 deal for the stock. 559 00:33:15,370 --> 00:33:18,090 Why didn't you simply tell her you weren't interested at the new price? 560 00:33:18,890 --> 00:33:20,330 All right, I wanted the antibiotic. 561 00:33:21,290 --> 00:33:24,530 But how would killing Natalie James help me get hold of it? You knew Randolph 562 00:33:24,530 --> 00:33:28,050 James usually left the ignition key in his station wagon when he went fishing, 563 00:33:28,110 --> 00:33:28,969 didn't you? 564 00:33:28,970 --> 00:33:32,670 Yes. And that he usually remained on the beach for two or three hours? 565 00:33:33,590 --> 00:33:38,270 Yes. Wouldn't employing the station wagon to kill Mrs. James, thus bringing 566 00:33:38,270 --> 00:33:41,730 about Randolph James' conviction, have helped you get hold of the antibiotic, 567 00:33:41,950 --> 00:33:42,950 Mr. Bradshaw? 568 00:33:43,570 --> 00:33:45,550 A convicted murderer can't inherit. 569 00:33:46,570 --> 00:33:50,030 So couldn't you then have purchased the controlling stock from Mrs. James? Speak 570 00:33:50,030 --> 00:33:51,030 up, Mr. Devlin. 571 00:33:51,630 --> 00:33:53,290 Ask me how things are in New York. 572 00:34:00,650 --> 00:34:06,630 Of course, I had to have someone put on your New York switchboard to manage 573 00:34:06,630 --> 00:34:07,630 that. 574 00:34:07,910 --> 00:34:09,690 But you did the same thing, didn't you? 575 00:34:10,590 --> 00:34:14,889 A bribed receptionist, two switchboard keys open simultaneously on the 576 00:34:14,889 --> 00:34:16,389 switchboard. That's all it took, wasn't it? 577 00:34:16,969 --> 00:34:18,550 When did you arrange it, Mr. Devlin? 578 00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:21,340 When you made that long -distance call from your home here? 579 00:34:21,940 --> 00:34:26,440 When you called New York just a few minutes before Randolph James made his 580 00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:27,339 'clock call? 581 00:34:27,340 --> 00:34:28,340 Yes. 582 00:34:28,940 --> 00:34:30,840 I really wasn't Bay Shores that night. 583 00:34:31,139 --> 00:34:32,420 But not for the reason you think. 584 00:34:33,380 --> 00:34:36,100 The formula for the new antibiotic was with millions. 585 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:41,620 I wanted a copy of it so I could deal myself in, regardless of what happened 586 00:34:41,620 --> 00:34:44,340 with Bradshaw. Then it was you who opened the laboratory safe. 587 00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,880 I just photographed the formula and was putting it back. 588 00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:51,400 When Randolph came in, I hit him and ran. 589 00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:55,840 And that's all. All, you mean, except for killing Natalie James? 590 00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:57,360 Oh, no. 591 00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:58,560 No, I didn't kill him. 592 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:00,340 But I can tell you who did. 593 00:35:00,860 --> 00:35:03,880 Tell you who I saw hosing off the station wagon that night by the seawall. 594 00:35:04,860 --> 00:35:05,980 Dr. Hans Lang. 595 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:15,060 While I was walking around after leaving the beach, I heard what I thought was 596 00:35:15,060 --> 00:35:16,060 an accident. 597 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:17,640 At the scene, 598 00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:20,640 Mrs. James, dead, I believed. 599 00:35:20,940 --> 00:35:25,360 And a woman describing to the police an old station wagon driven by a man 600 00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:28,060 wearing a felt hat partially hiding his face. 601 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,940 And this man you decided was Randolph James? 602 00:35:31,340 --> 00:35:36,000 No, not until I reached the beach and saw his old station wagon fender 603 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:39,140 and on the side a body -sized area where the dust has been swept off. 604 00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:42,940 And so you washed off all the remaining dust in an effort to conceal this? 605 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:45,440 I was wrong twice. 606 00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:47,160 First in believing him. 607 00:35:47,500 --> 00:35:51,540 Guilty, and then trying to save him. But it seemed to me that an evil greater 608 00:35:51,540 --> 00:35:55,400 wrong that a man like him should die on account of such a woman. 609 00:35:55,740 --> 00:36:00,800 I am ready to atone, Mr. Mason, in any way the law sees fit. Perhaps you can 610 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:01,880 clarify something else. 611 00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:07,600 On the next day, Dr. Lang, were you the person who telephoned the fisherman who 612 00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:08,600 was on the beach that night? 613 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:12,000 And did you threaten to shoot his dog if he ever fished again at Bay Shores? 614 00:36:15,660 --> 00:36:20,000 And the person who telephoned this threat to kill your dog, would you 615 00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:21,980 his or her voice if you heard it again? 616 00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:23,840 Yes. 617 00:36:25,020 --> 00:36:27,320 Have you heard this voice any time today? 618 00:36:27,900 --> 00:36:33,400 Yes. The voice belongs to the person who calls himself Marion Devlin. 619 00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:35,160 Devlin? 620 00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:41,960 Well, in that case, would you please take the stand again, Mrs. Bradshaw? 621 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,080 How is it you didn't go out to see what had happened? 622 00:36:50,420 --> 00:36:52,500 The screech of tires, a woman screaming? 623 00:36:53,340 --> 00:36:57,380 An impact of car and body only a short distance from your house? And only 624 00:36:57,380 --> 00:36:59,180 moments after Natalie James had left? 625 00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:01,920 I didn't hear anything. I went out right after Natalie. 626 00:37:02,180 --> 00:37:03,660 Out where? And with whom? 627 00:37:05,700 --> 00:37:07,700 Shall I tell you with whom, Mrs. Bradshaw? 628 00:37:07,980 --> 00:37:10,620 And wasn't the where the whispering sands in? 629 00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:12,040 All right. 630 00:37:12,300 --> 00:37:15,140 Supposing that I did have dinner with Marion Devlin. Is that so wrong? 631 00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:17,040 And how many dinners have you had with him? 632 00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:18,380 Thirty? Forty? 633 00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:22,040 Enough to give Natalie James adequate grounds for blackmail? 634 00:37:22,780 --> 00:37:26,300 Blackmail. You recognize these, Mrs. Bradshaw? 635 00:37:27,300 --> 00:37:28,620 Your diamond ring? 636 00:37:29,380 --> 00:37:30,620 Your diamond bracelet? 637 00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:34,640 Both were, as was your diamond clip in Natalie James' possession. 638 00:37:35,240 --> 00:37:36,700 I lent them to her. 639 00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:38,000 Oh, no, you didn't. 640 00:37:39,700 --> 00:37:44,120 You testified you weren't in the habit of lending her jewelry. 641 00:37:45,550 --> 00:37:47,470 You recognize this, Mrs. Bradshaw? 642 00:37:48,510 --> 00:37:53,390 An old hat of your husband's, but in the crown, strands of your hair. 643 00:37:54,050 --> 00:37:57,410 Left there when you forced it down over your head to make it appear a man was 644 00:37:57,410 --> 00:37:59,850 driving the station wagon when you killed Natalie James. 645 00:38:00,530 --> 00:38:04,190 No. How could I have used the station wagon? You took it before she arrived. 646 00:38:04,690 --> 00:38:07,870 You'd hidden it near the house, so all you had to do was return it after 647 00:38:07,870 --> 00:38:08,870 her down. 648 00:38:09,130 --> 00:38:10,130 Tell us about it. 649 00:38:11,250 --> 00:38:13,690 Tell us how Devlin then tried to help you by... 650 00:38:14,100 --> 00:38:17,380 frightening away the fisherman he thought might give Randolph James an 651 00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:21,140 Natalie was insatiable. 652 00:38:22,140 --> 00:38:25,400 Night after night, she'd come down to my house. She'd sit there drinking. 653 00:38:25,820 --> 00:38:27,400 She asked for more and more. 654 00:38:27,940 --> 00:38:30,780 All the rest of my life, she would have gone on blackmailing me. I had to kill 655 00:38:30,780 --> 00:38:34,040 her. And I would have gotten away with it if it hadn't been for your meddling. 656 00:38:34,300 --> 00:38:37,420 For months, I've known that fisherman when the dog was blind. I knew he was 657 00:38:37,420 --> 00:38:38,720 blind. I knew he was blind. 658 00:38:49,230 --> 00:38:50,229 All right, Perry. 659 00:38:50,230 --> 00:38:51,230 Come on, Paul. 660 00:38:51,810 --> 00:38:54,510 Don't tell me I'm not even going to get one day off. Face your way. 661 00:38:54,870 --> 00:38:57,670 I just thought you'd like to know that Berger called the office and said he'd 662 00:38:57,670 --> 00:39:00,890 recommended a suspended sentence for Dr. Lang so he could carry on with his 663 00:39:00,890 --> 00:39:04,370 work. Now that he's got that fake fisherman in custody, he's going to 664 00:39:04,370 --> 00:39:05,189 book at him. 665 00:39:05,190 --> 00:39:08,570 Seems the guy's a distant cousin of Marion Devlin's with a record as long as 666 00:39:08,570 --> 00:39:09,570 that line of yours. 667 00:39:09,910 --> 00:39:11,830 Good. Perry, tell me something. 668 00:39:12,350 --> 00:39:14,350 What first gave you the idea the guy was a fake? 669 00:39:15,260 --> 00:39:18,600 Oh, and he testified he was too busy fishing to pay any attention to Randolph 670 00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:19,600 James. 671 00:39:19,700 --> 00:39:22,600 A good fisherman always keeps his eye on the other fishermen around him. 672 00:39:23,820 --> 00:39:26,220 All right, so I'm not a fisherman. So why? 673 00:39:26,620 --> 00:39:29,160 To make sure they're not catching any bigger fish than he is. 674 00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:31,260 Ask a stupid question.
