1
00:02:11,430 --> 00:02:13,190
Yeah. Yeah, I understand.

2
00:02:15,310 --> 00:02:16,310
Yes, I understand.

3
00:02:16,550 --> 00:02:17,550
I understand.

4
00:02:19,430 --> 00:02:23,830
Mr. Wade, I got a guy here says he was
kidnapped by Martians. Said they took

5
00:02:23,830 --> 00:02:26,530
home with him and they all went swimming
in the canal. Says he's got pictures.

6
00:02:27,230 --> 00:02:29,630
If that's the best we can do.

7
00:02:30,230 --> 00:02:31,350
Oh, Mr.

8
00:02:31,730 --> 00:02:32,750
Wade, Mr. Wade.

9
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,480
There's still the Reverend Stafford's ex
-chauffeur. Now, he swears that

10
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,800
Stafford made three attempts on his
wife's life, but he won't budge on his

11
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,360
price. Pay it, Brian.

12
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,640
You're the managing editor, not the
accountant.

13
00:02:46,500 --> 00:02:47,500
It's only money.

14
00:02:47,580 --> 00:02:49,060
You know, paper clips.

15
00:02:51,640 --> 00:02:52,640
Oh, Michelle.

16
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:54,280
How you doing?

17
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:55,500
Can I see you alone?

18
00:02:56,180 --> 00:02:57,860
That's an invitation I'll always accept.

19
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,920
Look, I'm a little nervous about saying
this, but I'd like to beg off the

20
00:03:08,920 --> 00:03:09,920
judge's story.

21
00:03:10,460 --> 00:03:13,080
Michelle, we went all through this. And
I agreed, I know.

22
00:03:13,820 --> 00:03:16,000
But the more that I do, the queasier I
feel.

23
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,420
Nobody says it was pretty.

24
00:03:19,260 --> 00:03:20,980
A lot of what we do isn't pretty.

25
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,900
Iran Gate wasn't pretty. Watergate
wasn't pretty. For God's sake, Harlan,

26
00:03:25,020 --> 00:03:26,020
where's the comparison?

27
00:03:26,140 --> 00:03:27,820
What we're doing is sleaze.

28
00:03:28,020 --> 00:03:29,020
The hell it is.

29
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:30,740
We provide a service.

30
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,680
A kind of journalism that the people
can't get anywhere else.

31
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,360
Kicking the hell out of commie -loving
politicians, drugged -out actresses,

32
00:03:38,380 --> 00:03:43,200
doctors who suppress cancer cures. It's
our duty under the First Amendment. I've

33
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:44,500
heard that song before, Harlan.

34
00:03:45,060 --> 00:03:46,680
It's just not playing right for me.

35
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:49,400
Yeah, Michelle.

36
00:03:53,020 --> 00:03:54,200
You're just tired.

37
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:55,960
Burned out.

38
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,000
So it goes with being a good reporter.

39
00:03:59,380 --> 00:04:02,280
I need your help, sweetheart.

40
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:04,440
Those others out there?

41
00:04:05,829 --> 00:04:06,829
Glorified hacks.

42
00:04:07,610 --> 00:04:12,250
If I take you off the judge's story, I
may as well forget it. I can't afford

43
00:04:12,250 --> 00:04:15,810
that. The paper can't afford it. Harlan,
when I came here, you promised... I

44
00:04:15,810 --> 00:04:16,810
know what I promised.

45
00:04:17,790 --> 00:04:19,070
Now stand by it.

46
00:04:19,310 --> 00:04:20,890
Then why haven't you answered my memo?

47
00:04:21,410 --> 00:04:24,030
I've sent you at least five on that
chain of nursing homes.

48
00:04:24,530 --> 00:04:27,890
You get me what I want, and I'll give
you what you want.

49
00:04:29,170 --> 00:04:30,390
You have my word, Michelle.

50
00:04:36,390 --> 00:04:37,890
I wish I could believe that.

51
00:04:38,250 --> 00:04:39,250
Believe it.

52
00:04:39,650 --> 00:04:41,710
Hit a home run, baby. I'm counting on
you.

53
00:04:42,470 --> 00:04:43,990
You know I know I'll be grateful.

54
00:04:44,630 --> 00:04:45,790
Say a week in Bermuda.

55
00:04:46,950 --> 00:04:48,310
Hawaii. Cozumel.

56
00:04:49,430 --> 00:04:50,430
Anywhere you want to go.

57
00:04:50,690 --> 00:04:52,370
On me. First class.

58
00:04:53,270 --> 00:04:54,570
With everything thrown in.

59
00:05:01,030 --> 00:05:02,130
Wonderful man.

60
00:05:02,470 --> 00:05:04,290
I'm having a medal struck in his honor.

61
00:05:04,610 --> 00:05:05,610
Save one for me.

62
00:05:11,850 --> 00:05:13,250
I don't believe it, Paul.

63
00:05:14,190 --> 00:05:15,069
Surprised, huh?

64
00:05:15,070 --> 00:05:16,130
Tell me you're thrilled, too.

65
00:05:16,690 --> 00:05:20,570
What on earth are you doing here? I'm
working on a case with Perry, which

66
00:05:20,570 --> 00:05:21,990
us plenty of time to get reacquainted.

67
00:05:22,870 --> 00:05:23,890
Want to buy me some lunch?

68
00:05:24,190 --> 00:05:25,710
Paul, I am up to here with assignments.

69
00:05:26,350 --> 00:05:27,650
Honestly, I'm really jammed.

70
00:05:28,470 --> 00:05:31,170
Oh, sorry, this is Rick Connor, my
partner in crime. Rick, hi.

71
00:05:32,370 --> 00:05:33,410
Well, um...

72
00:05:34,430 --> 00:05:37,170
You know, he looks pretty confident. Why
don't you let him do a single today,

73
00:05:37,290 --> 00:05:40,110
huh? I'd love to, Paul, but I'm already
late for an appointment.

74
00:05:40,590 --> 00:05:43,210
Okay, well, you leave me no choice. I'm
going to come with you. I want you to

75
00:05:43,210 --> 00:05:44,210
wait right here. I'll be right back.

76
00:05:45,910 --> 00:05:48,350
Where is he going?

77
00:05:53,570 --> 00:05:54,570
Mr. Wade.

78
00:05:56,210 --> 00:05:57,210
Who are you?

79
00:05:57,550 --> 00:05:59,050
You remember me, Paul Drake.

80
00:06:00,750 --> 00:06:01,750
That's for you.

81
00:06:02,110 --> 00:06:03,110
What is it?

82
00:06:03,130 --> 00:06:04,130
It's a summons.

83
00:06:04,170 --> 00:06:05,170
Complaints are liable.

84
00:06:05,650 --> 00:06:06,970
Compliments of Senator Langley.

85
00:06:07,370 --> 00:06:08,370
Have a nice day.

86
00:06:09,930 --> 00:06:11,430
Hey, you can't come...

87
00:06:11,430 --> 00:06:18,270
Oh, I was

88
00:06:18,270 --> 00:06:20,930
afraid we laid it on a little thick for
that Langley feature.

89
00:06:22,310 --> 00:06:24,850
Wouldn't you know the lawyer on this is
Perry Mason?

90
00:06:25,170 --> 00:06:26,170
Mason?

91
00:06:26,670 --> 00:06:28,650
Frank, I want you to drop everything
you're doing.

92
00:06:28,990 --> 00:06:30,650
Dig up what you can on Mason.

93
00:06:31,410 --> 00:06:33,210
If you can't find anything...

94
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:35,560
Invented. The usual.

95
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:51,760
Well, you consider yourself a good
friend of Judge McGill. Isn't that

96
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,000
Well, yes. He said hello to me every
morning.

97
00:06:56,780 --> 00:07:00,460
And knowing his lovely wife, you must
have been shocked when he and that

98
00:07:00,540 --> 00:07:03,660
long -legged secretary of his came
sneaking in here that night.

99
00:07:04,380 --> 00:07:05,380
Very shocked.

100
00:07:06,180 --> 00:07:08,040
Uh, yes, very shocked.

101
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,220
And you never did see them come out, did
you? She stayed here all night?

102
00:07:15,140 --> 00:07:17,120
I didn't see them come out, no.

103
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:18,360
Excuse me.

104
00:07:20,900 --> 00:07:25,240
Judge Sanford McGill, in line for the
state Supreme Court vacancy, has been

105
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:29,460
having a secret love affair with his
pretty long -legged secretary, a close

106
00:07:29,460 --> 00:07:30,580
friend confided.

107
00:07:31,220 --> 00:07:36,760
I was very shocked, the friend
explained, when the two lovebirds

108
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,920
classy midtown hotel and didn't come out
until morning.

109
00:07:45,740 --> 00:07:46,740
Who am I kidding?

110
00:07:47,580 --> 00:07:48,580
Not me.

111
00:07:48,660 --> 00:07:49,660
How about you?

112
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:51,640
I wish I could.

113
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,880
Why did you have to show up anyway? Did
I advertise for a conscience?

114
00:07:59,740 --> 00:08:01,840
Does this mean that I have to pay for
lunch?

115
00:08:06,420 --> 00:08:07,460
There you are.

116
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:11,960
You're not dressed.

117
00:08:12,580 --> 00:08:14,580
The party starts at two o 'clock.

118
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:15,800
We're not going.

119
00:08:16,020 --> 00:08:17,020
Not going?

120
00:08:17,260 --> 00:08:18,700
You don't feel well.

121
00:08:19,050 --> 00:08:20,350
Oh, I'm feeling fine.

122
00:08:21,110 --> 00:08:25,230
You know where the Society for Homeless
Children is holding the event this year?

123
00:08:25,690 --> 00:08:28,090
Yes, at the Melbourne estate.

124
00:08:28,450 --> 00:08:33,390
According to this, it was recently
purchased by Harlan Wade. Now you know

125
00:08:33,390 --> 00:08:34,390
we're not going.

126
00:08:35,010 --> 00:08:37,590
You're on the Society's advisory board.

127
00:08:38,169 --> 00:08:39,890
We are not going.

128
00:08:40,850 --> 00:08:45,730
But... Not even for the children.

129
00:08:48,330 --> 00:08:52,530
If I can't get circulation up, the only
thing we'll be publishing around here is

130
00:08:52,530 --> 00:08:53,530
our obituary.

131
00:08:55,170 --> 00:08:58,070
Oh, nice of you folks to join us. Sorry
we're late, Harlan.

132
00:08:59,550 --> 00:09:00,550
What'd you get from the door?

133
00:09:00,830 --> 00:09:03,370
Nothing. He suddenly had an attack of
conscience.

134
00:09:04,010 --> 00:09:05,670
Catches up to all of us sooner or later.

135
00:09:06,550 --> 00:09:07,550
That's too bad.

136
00:09:07,970 --> 00:09:09,270
But we'll get it.

137
00:09:09,710 --> 00:09:10,710
Just up the ante.

138
00:09:11,610 --> 00:09:14,870
You were supposed to see him at 10. It's
1 .30 now. Where have you been all this

139
00:09:14,870 --> 00:09:15,870
time?

140
00:09:15,970 --> 00:09:17,030
Working on something else.

141
00:09:17,580 --> 00:09:18,800
The chain of nursing homes.

142
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,420
Handled right, the story could get us a
Pulitzer.

143
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,840
If you saw what Rick and I did this
morning, old people abandoned and dying,

144
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:26,920
you'd know what it means.

145
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:28,040
Nursing homes.

146
00:09:28,380 --> 00:09:29,380
Old people.

147
00:09:30,820 --> 00:09:31,820
Okay, kid.

148
00:09:32,140 --> 00:09:33,620
Go win us a Pulitzer.

149
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:35,320
Thanks, Harlan.

150
00:09:35,460 --> 00:09:36,460
You won't regret it.

151
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:38,040
You'll see.

152
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:39,480
Connor.

153
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:42,800
I was wrong about her, Frank.

154
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:44,320
Very wrong.

155
00:09:44,660 --> 00:09:46,240
I want her out of here.

156
00:09:47,010 --> 00:09:48,010
Today.

157
00:10:00,610 --> 00:10:03,410
Doctor and Mrs. Clayman.

158
00:10:04,270 --> 00:10:06,430
Still the most attractive couple in
town.

159
00:10:07,130 --> 00:10:08,130
Glad you could come.

160
00:10:19,560 --> 00:10:21,120
General, you're not leaving already.

161
00:10:21,660 --> 00:10:23,980
My wife isn't feeling well. I thought
we'd go home early.

162
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:25,900
Oh, I am sorry.

163
00:10:26,380 --> 00:10:30,700
I know this is a terrible imposition,
sir, but I wonder if you could pose for

164
00:10:30,700 --> 00:10:34,720
just one picture with me. It isn't too
often that I get the opportunity to be

165
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,240
photographed with a great war hero.

166
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:37,480
Well, another time.

167
00:10:38,340 --> 00:10:40,620
Oh, please, General, there may not be
another time.

168
00:10:42,140 --> 00:10:43,280
I'd really appreciate it.

169
00:10:43,940 --> 00:10:47,000
Well, to be quite frank, Mr. Wade, I'd
rather be photographed with a snake.

170
00:10:57,939 --> 00:10:58,939
What's with him?

171
00:11:00,780 --> 00:11:01,780
You.

172
00:11:02,900 --> 00:11:06,320
You see, the general came by here to
help a good cause, right?

173
00:11:06,900 --> 00:11:11,200
So why don't you just forget who he is?
And while you're at it, call off that

174
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,460
pack of wolves that call themselves
reporters because we don't need your

175
00:11:14,460 --> 00:11:15,460
stories.

176
00:11:16,020 --> 00:11:17,040
Understand, Harlan?

177
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:22,440
Great party.

178
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,580
You would pull your gun at your own
party?

179
00:11:30,540 --> 00:11:33,080
Ortega, what kind of way is that for a
banker to behave?

180
00:11:33,560 --> 00:11:35,200
I was merely getting your attention.

181
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:37,920
Since you don't answer phone calls.

182
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:39,800
Maybe I knew why you were calling.

183
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:41,120
I am sure you do.

184
00:11:41,900 --> 00:11:44,580
It's about this smear you're planning
with me as the target.

185
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:45,920
What smear?

186
00:11:46,180 --> 00:11:48,300
I'm in the business of news, human
interest.

187
00:11:48,540 --> 00:11:50,400
Then you should be more careful of your
sources.

188
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:52,200
Am I clear?

189
00:11:55,050 --> 00:11:59,930
Maybe we can talk later when things get
quiet. In the meantime, enjoy yourself.

190
00:12:01,230 --> 00:12:02,450
I intend to.

191
00:12:06,990 --> 00:12:12,130
Next time, let's try to get a few
friends here.

192
00:12:13,070 --> 00:12:14,070
Who?

193
00:12:18,630 --> 00:12:20,710
No, thank you. Oh, thank you.

194
00:12:24,620 --> 00:12:25,980
You don't care for any?

195
00:12:26,260 --> 00:12:29,480
I'm here because I promised. I said
nothing about having a good time.

196
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,460
Mason, I'm Harlan Wade.

197
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:34,920
Is that so?

198
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,580
We've never met, but I recognize you
from your pictures.

199
00:12:39,820 --> 00:12:41,560
You must be Ms. Street.

200
00:12:42,100 --> 00:12:44,280
Thank you. How do you do?

201
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,920
Would you excuse us a minute for a
little business talk?

202
00:12:49,620 --> 00:12:53,480
Mr. Wade, I'm not going to discuss the
lawsuit.

203
00:12:54,540 --> 00:12:57,280
I think you'll recall dates and places.

204
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,660
You and Miss Street.

205
00:13:00,340 --> 00:13:01,560
Very inventive.

206
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:07,900
I can get bellmen, maids, hotel staff,
others who will swear to occasions when

207
00:13:07,900 --> 00:13:12,900
you and Miss Street stayed together at
the same hotel. How shocked they were by

208
00:13:12,900 --> 00:13:13,900
your behavior.

209
00:13:15,020 --> 00:13:19,080
To buy all that, you must have a very
large editorial budget.

210
00:13:19,300 --> 00:13:20,300
Largest in the world.

211
00:13:20,660 --> 00:13:21,660
Mr. Wade.

212
00:13:22,350 --> 00:13:24,950
I'd save your money for your attorney's
fees.

213
00:13:25,670 --> 00:13:32,050
Young lady, I think we've enjoyed this
extraordinary event long enough. Mr.

214
00:13:32,070 --> 00:13:33,070
Wade?

215
00:13:34,430 --> 00:13:35,430
Doorman will get it.

216
00:13:51,100 --> 00:13:52,160
Paul, I told you.

217
00:13:52,660 --> 00:13:55,780
I've got at least three hours at the
word processor to get this story out.

218
00:13:56,620 --> 00:13:58,380
Wade is never going to pinch a story.

219
00:13:58,780 --> 00:14:00,100
Yes, he will. He has to.

220
00:14:00,940 --> 00:14:03,960
The only way I'm ever going to get off
the informer is to make a name for

221
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:05,800
myself. This is my shot.

222
00:14:13,820 --> 00:14:14,820
Good luck.

223
00:14:16,420 --> 00:14:18,820
If I make it before midnight, is that
all right?

224
00:14:19,470 --> 00:14:21,270
You make it before breakfast, it's all
right.

225
00:14:29,550 --> 00:14:32,230
Any coffee left, Rick? I've got a ton of
work.

226
00:14:36,310 --> 00:14:40,390
Michelle, I tried to find you, warn you,
but I didn't know... Did Wade say where

227
00:14:40,390 --> 00:14:41,450
I was supposed to pick up my check?

228
00:14:42,030 --> 00:14:44,570
Look, Michelle, getting canned isn't the
end of the world.

229
00:14:45,390 --> 00:14:46,770
Why don't we go out for a drink?

230
00:14:47,010 --> 00:14:48,070
Get you calmed down.

231
00:14:48,540 --> 00:14:49,540
You know something, Rick?

232
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,220
For a second, you sounded just like him.
Don't.

233
00:14:53,540 --> 00:14:56,480
You're a good guy, and he's a vicious,
sadistic hypocrite.

234
00:14:57,580 --> 00:14:58,660
Michelle, where are you going?

235
00:14:58,860 --> 00:15:01,660
Just show Wade what I think of him. He's
not getting away with this.

236
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:11,020
Everything okay out here?

237
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,160
Yeah. All right, all right.

238
00:15:13,820 --> 00:15:14,819
He's doing good.

239
00:15:14,820 --> 00:15:16,460
I'm gonna go back in the house. Yeah.

240
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,160
Don't shoot, Harlan. You could spoil a
lovely evening.

241
00:15:38,380 --> 00:15:41,000
I used your bathroom to freshen up. I
hope you don't mind.

242
00:15:43,060 --> 00:15:44,060
What do you want?

243
00:15:45,380 --> 00:15:46,580
Harlan, I need your help.

244
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,540
You want me to kill the story behind
your divorce, don't you?

245
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:53,140
Oh, I'd be very grateful.

246
00:15:53,980 --> 00:15:58,020
You really think I'd give up that story
for anything you've got to offer?

247
00:16:00,260 --> 00:16:01,280
Good night, Marianne.

248
00:16:17,780 --> 00:16:19,000
Great security. Am I ready?

249
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,700
Sorry, Mr. Wade. She must have... Yeah,
she must have.

250
00:16:23,420 --> 00:16:25,620
Why don't you get me a pair of trunks?
I'm going to take a swim.

251
00:16:36,460 --> 00:16:37,500
Sorry, Miss Bente. Mr.

252
00:16:37,700 --> 00:16:39,340
Wade's in the pool. Strict instructions.

253
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:40,800
No more visitors.

254
00:16:41,700 --> 00:16:42,479
Tell Mr.

255
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,460
Wade I don't give a damn about his
instructions.

256
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:51,060
Mr. Moretti, this is Matthew.

257
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:53,000
Yeah, I'm ready.

258
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:54,600
Yeah, right.

259
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,740
Mr. Wade, Michelle Binti's on her way
in.

260
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,960
The cleanup crew should be done with the
party now. I'm going to go secure the

261
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:20,960
place.

262
00:17:25,339 --> 00:17:28,220
You have three minutes to say anything
you want to.

263
00:17:29,180 --> 00:17:34,500
After that, I expect to hear good night,
thanks for the memories, and I'll see

264
00:17:34,500 --> 00:17:35,299
you around.

265
00:17:35,300 --> 00:17:36,440
Oh, no, it's not that easy.

266
00:17:37,540 --> 00:17:38,620
You lied to me.

267
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:40,800
You're young, Michelle.

268
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:42,520
Really naive.

269
00:17:43,100 --> 00:17:46,300
You knew what my paper was like when you
came to work here.

270
00:17:46,860 --> 00:17:48,120
I gotta hand it to you, Wade.

271
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:52,360
You did one smooth con job on me. It
wasn't all con.

272
00:17:53,260 --> 00:17:54,520
I liked you, kid.

273
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,080
You've been a little nicer to me.

274
00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,920
Who knows, I might have given you
anything you wanted.

275
00:18:01,300 --> 00:18:02,940
Wade, you really are a flea.

276
00:18:04,340 --> 00:18:06,660
I'm only sorry I didn't see it sooner.

277
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:10,320
Careful, baby.

278
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,060
You could fall on your face.

279
00:19:23,630 --> 00:19:24,630
I know I was speeding.

280
00:19:25,070 --> 00:19:26,430
70 in the 55 zone.

281
00:19:26,990 --> 00:19:28,150
Nancy, your license, please.

282
00:19:54,370 --> 00:19:55,510
Step out of the car, please.

283
00:19:55,950 --> 00:19:58,510
Bye. I'm afraid you'll have to come with
me, ma 'am.

284
00:19:58,850 --> 00:19:59,709
What's wrong?

285
00:19:59,710 --> 00:20:01,750
There's been a murder. You're wanted for
questioning.

286
00:20:13,450 --> 00:20:16,250
What's going to happen to the lawsuit
now that Wade is dead?

287
00:20:17,250 --> 00:20:21,890
Well, if the new management agrees to
print retractions, we'll drop the suit.

288
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:24,880
Good morning, Paul.

289
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:26,500
Good morning. Did you get to see
Michelle?

290
00:20:26,980 --> 00:20:31,340
Yes. How's she holding up? She's feeling
a lot better. The parents are going to

291
00:20:31,340 --> 00:20:32,340
see her.

292
00:20:34,340 --> 00:20:36,900
Who do you think might have killed Wade?

293
00:20:38,140 --> 00:20:40,700
I think we could fill a football stadium
with a suspect.

294
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,960
Why do you think they're so convinced
that Michelle did it?

295
00:20:44,660 --> 00:20:46,760
The party was over. Everyone had gone
home.

296
00:20:47,020 --> 00:20:49,600
Michelle was left alone with him. Then
he was found dead.

297
00:20:50,540 --> 00:20:53,220
When the police finally caught up with
her, she was speeding away from the

298
00:20:53,220 --> 00:20:54,220
scene.

299
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,340
There was one other thing.

300
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:58,000
What's that?

301
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,140
Her fingerprints were on the murder
weapon.

302
00:21:04,220 --> 00:21:05,960
It must have happened when I was
leaving.

303
00:21:06,700 --> 00:21:09,340
I slipped and grabbed the statue to keep
from falling.

304
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,360
Mr. Mason, are they sure that's what was
used to kill him?

305
00:21:14,540 --> 00:21:16,680
I've just gone over the police report.

306
00:21:17,140 --> 00:21:19,160
Wade was found floating in his pool.

307
00:21:20,180 --> 00:21:22,720
Fragments of the statue were found in
his skull.

308
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,140
It doesn't make sense, the thought of me
wanting to kill Wade.

309
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,580
The prosecution's going to make a
compelling case.

310
00:21:31,020 --> 00:21:32,200
Wade fired you.

311
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,240
You were furious. You fought.

312
00:21:35,460 --> 00:21:36,460
He wouldn't relent.

313
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:43,660
You lost control, grabbed the nearest
handy object, and kept hitting him until

314
00:21:43,660 --> 00:21:44,660
he was dead.

315
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:47,180
I didn't do it.

316
00:21:49,900 --> 00:21:51,420
Of course you didn't do it.

317
00:21:57,700 --> 00:21:58,700
Good morning.

318
00:21:58,820 --> 00:22:03,980
I should have expected to see you here,
but it's always something of a surprise.

319
00:22:04,340 --> 00:22:06,180
A pleasant one, I hope. Of course.

320
00:22:06,900 --> 00:22:11,520
Your Honor, this was not a death
resulting from reckless conduct or even

321
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,500
voluntary manslaughter.

322
00:22:14,120 --> 00:22:18,140
The people allege that this was a murder
of premeditation.

323
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:20,440
and deliberation by this defendant.

324
00:22:20,780 --> 00:22:23,600
We respectfully request that bail be
denied.

325
00:22:24,620 --> 00:22:29,160
Your Honor, I have known Michelle Bente
for almost two years, and I can assure

326
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:33,640
the court she is a responsible young
woman with substantial ties to the

327
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,560
community. She is a professional
journalist who... Journalist?

328
00:22:38,120 --> 00:22:39,240
Your Honor...

329
00:22:39,820 --> 00:22:45,000
This young woman is a procurer of
libelous misstatements and innuendos for

330
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:49,000
weekly tabloid that mocks the First
Amendment while it pads its corporate

331
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,880
wallet. We're all acquainted with the
confidential informer.

332
00:22:53,440 --> 00:23:00,040
I would remind my distinguished
colleague, it is my client, not this

333
00:23:00,220 --> 00:23:02,000
who is the accused here.

334
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:07,380
Miss Bente denies any involvement with
this death and is looking forward to her

335
00:23:07,380 --> 00:23:08,380
day in court.

336
00:23:10,030 --> 00:23:13,770
The court is granting bail in this case
in the amount of $200 ,000.

337
00:23:14,830 --> 00:23:15,830
Thank you, gentlemen.

338
00:23:18,810 --> 00:23:20,970
Okay, Wade was sitting here at the edge
of the pool.

339
00:23:22,510 --> 00:23:23,730
She grabbed the statue.

340
00:23:23,970 --> 00:23:25,570
Someone grabbed the statue.

341
00:23:26,850 --> 00:23:32,410
And when Wade turned his head, she
smashed his skull in. I should have

342
00:23:32,410 --> 00:23:34,510
left him alone with her, not the mood
she was in.

343
00:23:35,470 --> 00:23:39,250
Mr. Moretti, the time is bent -y.

344
00:23:39,879 --> 00:23:40,879
Left the estate.

345
00:23:41,180 --> 00:23:42,840
To when you discovered the body.

346
00:23:43,460 --> 00:23:45,060
How much time had elapsed?

347
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:47,520
Minutes. Three -fourths max.

348
00:23:48,660 --> 00:23:51,660
Wait a minute. If you're saying somebody
else had a chance to do it, impossible.

349
00:23:52,100 --> 00:23:53,100
There wasn't time.

350
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,180
Besides, nobody could have got off the
estate.

351
00:23:55,820 --> 00:23:57,820
Everything was buttoned down tight.

352
00:23:58,040 --> 00:23:59,220
Nobody in, nobody out.

353
00:23:59,420 --> 00:24:00,420
You're positive?

354
00:24:01,460 --> 00:24:02,680
I'm paid to be positive.

355
00:24:04,380 --> 00:24:05,520
Anything else, Mr. Mason?

356
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:07,740
I understand Mr.

357
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,240
Wade... always carried a gun wherever he
went.

358
00:24:11,780 --> 00:24:12,719
That's right.

359
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:14,800
Did he have it with him at the time he
was murdered?

360
00:24:15,420 --> 00:24:18,560
I saw him put it in the pocket of his
robe just before he came after his swim.

361
00:24:18,820 --> 00:24:20,540
And he put the robe over there on that
chair.

362
00:24:23,900 --> 00:24:28,380
Lieutenant, there's no mention of the
gun in the police report.

363
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,440
Well, no gun was found.

364
00:24:32,120 --> 00:24:33,200
Then it is missing.

365
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:36,080
Well, what's your point, Mr. Mason?

366
00:24:36,940 --> 00:24:40,520
Well... It wasn't found on Miss Bente
when she was arrested.

367
00:24:41,220 --> 00:24:43,520
This estate is certainly well guarded.

368
00:24:44,360 --> 00:24:46,120
I wonder how it could have disappeared.

369
00:24:47,300 --> 00:24:50,680
She must have taken it with her and
dumped it along the road.

370
00:24:50,940 --> 00:24:52,540
Why would she take it, Lieutenant?

371
00:24:52,860 --> 00:24:54,480
The gun wasn't the murder weapon.

372
00:24:56,820 --> 00:24:57,840
How should I know?

373
00:24:58,620 --> 00:24:59,620
How indeed.

374
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,000
Thank you both for your cooperation.

375
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:07,180
Well, what about letters?

376
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,140
Did Wade receive any actual death
threats?

377
00:25:11,780 --> 00:25:13,580
Just your run -of -the -mill hate mail.

378
00:25:14,500 --> 00:25:18,240
Let's face it, anybody who's been the
subject of one of Wade's smear jobs

379
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:19,240
love to see him dead.

380
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:23,360
Well, what about, uh, like a story that
might have still been in progress?

381
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:25,800
Kill Wade before it's even published?

382
00:25:26,180 --> 00:25:27,180
Yeah, maybe.

383
00:25:27,980 --> 00:25:32,020
In an attempt to keep the story from
getting to print, it's a lot stronger

384
00:25:32,020 --> 00:25:34,300
motivation than revenge after the fact.

385
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:36,220
You know, that makes a lot of sense.

386
00:25:36,540 --> 00:25:37,600
I think it does, too.

387
00:25:37,900 --> 00:25:41,580
Except most of what Wade publishes is
just rumor, innuendo.

388
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,280
Maybe he had something a little bit more
concrete this time.

389
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:47,980
What were some of the stories he was
working on?

390
00:25:48,500 --> 00:25:49,500
All sorts of things.

391
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,160
I've got notes on all of them at the
office.

392
00:25:53,940 --> 00:25:56,440
Uh, notes. What about Wade's file?

393
00:25:57,460 --> 00:26:01,020
Wade keeps all the juicy stuff and
evidence locked in his safe.

394
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:03,200
You have a combination?

395
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:08,160
Let's go get your notes.

396
00:26:08,620 --> 00:26:09,980
I think I better get dressed first.

397
00:26:12,420 --> 00:26:13,640
Michelle, let me ask you something.

398
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:19,440
If this guy was such a lowlife, why'd
you end up working for him?

399
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:21,080
Best job I could get.

400
00:26:21,940 --> 00:26:22,940
Why?

401
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:29,700
This condo, car, half a dozen credit
cards, that go along with it? Yeah, it's

402
00:26:29,700 --> 00:26:30,700
part of the trap.

403
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,860
But you know, reporters at the Informer
make three, four times the going rate of

404
00:26:34,860 --> 00:26:36,000
other papers, plus all this.

405
00:26:37,150 --> 00:26:40,250
You start out working there thinking
you'll just put aside a little nest egg

406
00:26:40,250 --> 00:26:41,350
then leave to do something important.

407
00:26:42,730 --> 00:26:44,610
But you get real used to those big
bucks.

408
00:26:46,210 --> 00:26:47,810
Guess I don't have to worry about that
anymore.

409
00:26:50,890 --> 00:26:52,610
No. Not anymore.

410
00:27:14,220 --> 00:27:15,220
it's not locked

411
00:28:23,669 --> 00:28:25,070
Arrrgh!

412
00:29:31,590 --> 00:29:36,010
Harry, the simplest explanation is that
there was information that was

413
00:29:36,010 --> 00:29:37,010
incriminating.

414
00:29:37,890 --> 00:29:41,050
So it had to be extracted before it fell
into the wrong hands.

415
00:29:41,590 --> 00:29:44,170
If that's true, why take all four files?

416
00:29:45,330 --> 00:29:47,270
You're sure only four are missing?

417
00:29:47,910 --> 00:29:48,910
Positive.

418
00:29:49,210 --> 00:29:51,330
Wade kept them together in a special
folder.

419
00:29:51,530 --> 00:29:53,150
The hot file, he called it.

420
00:29:53,610 --> 00:29:57,510
When I checked the safe after the break
and it was gone, and with it all the

421
00:29:57,510 --> 00:29:59,890
evidence Wade had dug up on General
Sorensen...

422
00:30:00,590 --> 00:30:02,730
Oscar Ortega and the doctor and Mrs.
Clayman.

423
00:30:03,570 --> 00:30:05,790
There's information on all four of them
in my notes.

424
00:30:06,870 --> 00:30:09,890
Stella, are those four on the guest
list?

425
00:30:10,390 --> 00:30:11,390
Yes.

426
00:30:11,590 --> 00:30:13,410
They all seem to have been at the party.

427
00:30:14,330 --> 00:30:15,570
All right, I'll check them out.

428
00:30:16,410 --> 00:30:17,410
You have breakfast yet?

429
00:30:18,270 --> 00:30:19,270
Yes, I did.

430
00:30:19,290 --> 00:30:20,290
And you're still here?

431
00:30:21,150 --> 00:30:22,690
Paul, we need that safe cracker.

432
00:30:23,930 --> 00:30:24,930
Right away.

433
00:30:24,950 --> 00:30:26,630
Michelle, if you're up to it, would you
help me, please?

434
00:30:27,410 --> 00:30:28,410
Let's go.

435
00:30:33,450 --> 00:30:35,650
You really love to get on his case.

436
00:30:36,730 --> 00:30:37,990
Yes, I guess I do.

437
00:30:38,910 --> 00:30:40,570
You want me to type up those notes?

438
00:30:41,190 --> 00:30:42,630
As soon as I've checked them through.

439
00:30:51,990 --> 00:30:55,470
Yeah. Miss Street, these are for you.
Where would you like me to set them?

440
00:30:55,990 --> 00:30:57,030
Right over there.

441
00:31:02,030 --> 00:31:04,470
That's okay. The tip's been taken care
of. Have a good day.

442
00:31:04,670 --> 00:31:05,670
Oh, thank you.

443
00:31:09,330 --> 00:31:10,330
Strange.

444
00:31:11,550 --> 00:31:14,170
Ever see a bellhop that won't accept a
tip?

445
00:31:15,090 --> 00:31:17,230
Maybe he's independently wealthy.

446
00:31:17,450 --> 00:31:18,450
Where were they from?

447
00:31:19,610 --> 00:31:21,130
They're from the hotel.

448
00:31:21,990 --> 00:31:26,730
I guess when you take an expensive
suite, you get an expensive welcome.

449
00:31:49,550 --> 00:31:50,550
Good, Gretchen.

450
00:31:50,590 --> 00:31:52,150
Looks good for a green horse.

451
00:31:58,910 --> 00:32:00,110
It's my day off.

452
00:32:00,770 --> 00:32:04,430
I'm hungover, so if you want another
screaming session, try primotherapy.

453
00:32:05,290 --> 00:32:08,190
I won't take long, but I'm in a little
jam.

454
00:32:10,030 --> 00:32:11,330
I'm deeply moved.

455
00:32:11,630 --> 00:32:15,750
Jack, I need some money. You've frozen
our account. Your next check will be on

456
00:32:15,750 --> 00:32:18,490
time. Thursday a week, just as the
agreement says.

457
00:32:18,970 --> 00:32:24,070
30 ,000, Jack. I need 30 ,000. Temporary
alimony isn't going to cover that. 30

458
00:32:24,070 --> 00:32:25,210
,000 for what?

459
00:32:27,110 --> 00:32:28,110
I can't say.

460
00:32:28,730 --> 00:32:30,250
You're being blackmailed, aren't you?

461
00:32:31,570 --> 00:32:32,750
How would you know that?

462
00:32:34,590 --> 00:32:38,370
Unless you're being blackmailed too,
aren't you?

463
00:32:38,690 --> 00:32:43,950
You're getting off easy. I'm supposed to
cough up a... Excuse me, may I help

464
00:32:43,950 --> 00:32:48,330
you? Sorry if I'm intruding, Doctor. I'm
Michelle Bente's attorney. My name's

465
00:32:48,330 --> 00:32:52,050
Mason. Well, I'm sorry for her. She
deserves a medal.

466
00:32:52,810 --> 00:32:55,250
Unfortunately, I'm afraid that's all the
help I can give her.

467
00:32:55,490 --> 00:32:58,130
I take it you had a problem with Harlan
Wade.

468
00:32:59,590 --> 00:33:03,270
Since you're here, Mr. Mason, you
already know that. And you already know

469
00:33:03,270 --> 00:33:04,950
were both at the party the day he was
killed.

470
00:33:05,330 --> 00:33:06,330
Care for a beer?

471
00:33:06,370 --> 00:33:07,370
No, thank you.

472
00:33:07,850 --> 00:33:11,270
I hate to rush you, Mr. Mason, but my
husband and I were going over some

473
00:33:11,270 --> 00:33:12,270
important business.

474
00:33:12,540 --> 00:33:15,220
So if there's something you'd like to
know, please ask it and then go.

475
00:33:16,180 --> 00:33:19,980
I understand from the police report you
left Wade's party so quickly nobody

476
00:33:19,980 --> 00:33:21,300
seems to have seen you leave.

477
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,080
I left early. I was bored to tears.

478
00:33:24,420 --> 00:33:28,480
If necessary, a friend will confirm that
I was home tucking my son in bed when

479
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:29,480
the happy event occurred.

480
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:30,840
Friend?

481
00:33:31,020 --> 00:33:31,799
That's right.

482
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:32,800
Bobby Conwell.

483
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:34,960
Oh, yes. Bobby Conwell.

484
00:33:35,860 --> 00:33:38,940
Wasn't he one of the reasons for your
pending divorce from Dr.

485
00:33:39,140 --> 00:33:41,180
Clayman? Who told you that?

486
00:33:41,630 --> 00:33:44,790
Wade had reporters researching rumors
about both of you.

487
00:33:46,290 --> 00:33:48,090
Stay away from me, Mr. Mason.

488
00:33:48,790 --> 00:33:49,790
Far away.

489
00:33:51,510 --> 00:33:52,510
Oh, Jack.

490
00:33:53,210 --> 00:33:54,630
What we discussed before.

491
00:33:55,150 --> 00:33:56,290
I need it today.

492
00:33:56,910 --> 00:34:00,750
Or I swear it'll take more than a court
order for you to visit your son again.

493
00:34:09,870 --> 00:34:11,790
It's going to be one hell of a divorce,
Mason.

494
00:34:13,929 --> 00:34:15,730
But you'll go down like the Titanic.

495
00:34:16,070 --> 00:34:23,030
I've got enough on her to get custody of
my son and to leave her scrounging for

496
00:34:23,030 --> 00:34:24,030
nickels.

497
00:34:24,230 --> 00:34:25,530
I'm betting on a draw.

498
00:34:27,230 --> 00:34:33,750
Doctor, just where were you when... I
was here, getting plastered, feeling

499
00:34:33,750 --> 00:34:34,750
for myself.

500
00:34:35,929 --> 00:34:36,929
Alone?

501
00:34:37,949 --> 00:34:38,949
Of course.

502
00:34:40,489 --> 00:34:41,489
Of course.

503
00:34:42,730 --> 00:34:44,449
He's not there. You think he'd be at the
park?

504
00:34:45,449 --> 00:34:46,530
Thanks, I'll try him there.

505
00:34:48,810 --> 00:34:49,909
Grab that, I'll take this.

506
00:34:53,750 --> 00:34:54,750
Well,

507
00:34:55,090 --> 00:34:56,489
well, look who's here.

508
00:34:56,710 --> 00:34:58,130
I'm just getting my things, Frank.

509
00:34:58,410 --> 00:35:02,630
No, no, I'm glad you came by. Look,
Michelle, how much do you want for your

510
00:35:02,630 --> 00:35:04,690
story? Rick, get up here and get some
pictures, will you?

511
00:35:04,910 --> 00:35:07,550
Now, it's got to be an exclusive now,
because I don't want you talking to

512
00:35:07,550 --> 00:35:08,428
anybody else.

513
00:35:08,430 --> 00:35:11,690
Frank, that's the sickest thing I've
ever heard. And I've heard a lot around

514
00:35:11,690 --> 00:35:15,450
here. Well, why? I mean, somebody's
going to do the story. It might as well

515
00:35:15,450 --> 00:35:18,870
us. Sounds like Harlan Wade's
philosophy. Come on, let's go. You're

516
00:35:18,870 --> 00:35:21,330
regret this. You're going to regret
this. Back off.

517
00:35:22,610 --> 00:35:25,490
Come on. You got a camera. Will you use
it?

518
00:35:31,970 --> 00:35:32,970
Mr. Mason.

519
00:35:33,890 --> 00:35:34,950
May I sit down?

520
00:35:39,720 --> 00:35:43,900
You must have made quite an impression
on my secretary to find me here. I told

521
00:35:43,900 --> 00:35:45,580
her it was a matter of life and death.

522
00:35:46,620 --> 00:35:47,680
My life?

523
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:49,960
Wade's death.

524
00:35:50,460 --> 00:35:52,320
I mean, it is Wade we're talking about.

525
00:35:52,660 --> 00:35:53,519
That's right.

526
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:54,560
And I am a suspect.

527
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,840
Now, why would I want to kill my friend
Wade?

528
00:35:59,720 --> 00:36:06,000
I understand he had his people working
on a rumor about your bank being in the

529
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:07,240
money laundering business.

530
00:36:08,110 --> 00:36:10,350
Is that its top clients are drug
dealers?

531
00:36:10,590 --> 00:36:11,990
That's a lie. Is it?

532
00:36:12,590 --> 00:36:15,630
For a sophisticated man, you're very
gullible, Mason.

533
00:36:18,210 --> 00:36:23,850
Maybe what Wade had in his safe was
proof of your bank's dealings. Maybe

534
00:36:23,850 --> 00:36:26,930
was killed to stop him from exposing
you.

535
00:36:27,210 --> 00:36:29,510
What the hell is this about a safe?

536
00:36:30,090 --> 00:36:32,470
It's in the late edition, Mr. Ortega.

537
00:36:33,450 --> 00:36:36,970
Somebody broke into Wade's safe and took
a number of files.

538
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:38,400
Yours among them.

539
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:44,420
Why would I go to the trouble of
stealing my own file so that I could

540
00:36:44,420 --> 00:36:45,420
myself?

541
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:47,320
That's right.

542
00:36:48,240 --> 00:36:51,460
Whoever got into that safe called me an
hour ago.

543
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:55,180
He told me he had information that could
destroy me and my bank.

544
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:57,860
He wanted $100 ,000 for it.

545
00:36:58,220 --> 00:37:05,080
And? I don't pay blackmail, Mr. Mason,
for a lot less than $100 ,000. I can

546
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:06,080
a specialist.

547
00:37:06,270 --> 00:37:09,010
to deal with the situation more
permanently.

548
00:37:11,450 --> 00:37:17,330
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'd like to be
at the bank before it closes.

549
00:37:27,390 --> 00:37:33,670
Stunning maneuver, Pasquale. Very first
rate, but... checkmate, I'm afraid.

550
00:37:34,460 --> 00:37:35,640
Oh, my dear Michelle.

551
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:37,040
You're free again.

552
00:37:37,340 --> 00:37:38,340
Only on bail.

553
00:37:38,540 --> 00:37:41,860
I want you to meet a good friend. How do
you do? How do you do?

554
00:37:42,380 --> 00:37:45,760
Cyril's been very helpful to some of the
reporters on the paper. I'm a marvelous

555
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:46,760
character witness.

556
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:50,780
My credentials are impeccable. My record
is spotless.

557
00:37:51,300 --> 00:37:53,760
And he'll testify to anything for a
price.

558
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:54,839
That's right.

559
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:56,140
A lot happy for me today.

560
00:37:56,420 --> 00:37:57,680
I need some information.

561
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:01,520
Michelle tells me that you know
everything that goes on in the city.

562
00:38:01,950 --> 00:38:04,510
Something tells me we're going to talk
about the underworld.

563
00:38:05,010 --> 00:38:06,010
Cyril, it's important.

564
00:38:07,150 --> 00:38:10,210
Last night, I had a run -in with a
safecracker.

565
00:38:10,630 --> 00:38:15,490
Wide shoulders, chains on the wrist,
around the neck.

566
00:38:15,850 --> 00:38:17,370
He's very good at his job.

567
00:38:17,710 --> 00:38:19,330
Do you have any ideas who it might be?

568
00:38:19,550 --> 00:38:21,050
Yes, he's so boring.

569
00:38:21,530 --> 00:38:23,090
He's also very dangerous.

570
00:38:23,590 --> 00:38:25,750
If it were you, I'd stay very wide of
him.

571
00:38:26,470 --> 00:38:27,910
Well, I need his name.

572
00:38:28,310 --> 00:38:30,810
Would you believe he's called Animal?

573
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:32,640
Where can we find him?

574
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:36,080
He usually frequents the Three Aces.
Probably still does.

575
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:40,180
Thanks, Cyril. I owe you one. Be
extremely careful.

576
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,960
This animal's no pussycat. He likes to
hurt people.

577
00:38:44,460 --> 00:38:45,379
We've met.

578
00:38:45,380 --> 00:38:46,380
Thank you.

579
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:52,360
Where do you suppose I can find a cab
right now?

580
00:38:53,270 --> 00:38:56,510
Meaning go home like a good little girl
because Cyril says he's dangerous?

581
00:38:57,390 --> 00:38:58,970
Paul, I can handle myself.

582
00:38:59,190 --> 00:39:01,750
I'm sure you can. You know what? I think
I'm going to rent a car.

583
00:39:02,430 --> 00:39:04,610
Paul, you're not going to find a rental
car around here.

584
00:39:04,870 --> 00:39:05,729
Use mine.

585
00:39:05,730 --> 00:39:06,730
I'll get a cab.

586
00:39:06,890 --> 00:39:07,788
You sure?

587
00:39:07,790 --> 00:39:08,790
Yeah, I'm sure.

588
00:39:08,870 --> 00:39:10,530
All right. It takes me some time.

589
00:39:11,330 --> 00:39:12,750
I'll call you when I have something.

590
00:39:14,070 --> 00:39:15,070
Go home.

591
00:39:58,860 --> 00:39:59,860
Impressive, General.

592
00:40:00,860 --> 00:40:01,960
They're weekend soldiers.

593
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:03,280
They're running fast.

594
00:40:03,740 --> 00:40:04,840
They'll be very effective.

595
00:40:05,740 --> 00:40:06,780
In whose army?

596
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:08,840
It's hard to say.

597
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:11,580
But they'll probably wind up in Central
America.

598
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:14,260
Have you been doing this long?

599
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:18,100
No, both Captain Rivers and myself are
retired. We're volunteers, that's all.

600
00:40:18,660 --> 00:40:21,240
It fills us with some long hours and
some very long days.

601
00:40:21,900 --> 00:40:24,820
You don't sound like a man who's ready
for retirement.

602
00:40:25,140 --> 00:40:26,140
Far from it.

603
00:40:28,910 --> 00:40:30,090
Mr. Mason, what brings you here?

604
00:40:31,570 --> 00:40:37,010
Some files concerning you were stolen
from Harlan Wade's safe last night.

605
00:40:37,770 --> 00:40:41,230
You're certainly not suggesting that I
took them. I'm suggesting that you're

606
00:40:41,230 --> 00:40:43,670
being blackmailed. Don't dance with me,
Mr. Mason.

607
00:40:44,110 --> 00:40:46,310
I don't like cute politicians and clever
lawyers.

608
00:40:46,650 --> 00:40:50,010
You're implying that I had something to
do with Wade's death. Well, I didn't. I

609
00:40:50,010 --> 00:40:53,530
went directly home from that party, saw
my wife to bed, and fell asleep in the

610
00:40:53,530 --> 00:40:54,530
den watching TV.

611
00:40:54,590 --> 00:40:55,890
Would you be able to prove that?

612
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:59,000
Unfortunately, no. I didn't think I'd
have to have an alibi for a murder I had

613
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:00,000
no motive to commit.

614
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:01,040
I can think of one.

615
00:41:01,720 --> 00:41:05,240
Isn't it true you were about to be
appointed to the board of directors of

616
00:41:05,240 --> 00:41:06,240
South Wing Corporation?

617
00:41:06,500 --> 00:41:07,600
How'd you find out about that?

618
00:41:07,820 --> 00:41:10,300
What's important is Wade found out about
it.

619
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:14,280
And a scandal involving you that went
all the way back to Vietnam.

620
00:41:15,140 --> 00:41:17,140
Sir, do we have to listen to this?

621
00:41:19,380 --> 00:41:20,380
No.

622
00:41:21,060 --> 00:41:22,820
Mr. Mason, I just owe this date his
welcome.

623
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:26,320
I enjoyed every minute of it.

624
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:20,280
Are you all right, Nathan?

625
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:22,000
All right.

626
00:42:22,820 --> 00:42:25,020
We're all right. What the devil's the
matter with you?

627
00:42:25,340 --> 00:42:27,940
This is a restricted area. Did you see
the warning sign back there?

628
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:32,880
If there had been a sign, General, my
driver and I surely would have seen it.

629
00:42:32,900 --> 00:42:33,900
You and I both know that.

630
00:42:34,540 --> 00:42:36,320
Let's see what the hell happened to it.
Yes, sir.

631
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:40,860
Well, thank you for the ride.

632
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:43,720
I enjoyed every minute of it.

633
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:57,520
What do you think?

634
00:42:58,560 --> 00:42:59,720
Just great, Della.

635
00:43:00,700 --> 00:43:03,420
Especially this one on Dr. Clayman.
Where'd you get it?

636
00:43:03,720 --> 00:43:06,500
A Jerry Stringer from Kansas City. He
came up with it.

637
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:14,100
Would you like it poured now, or shall
we let it chill for a few minutes more?

638
00:43:14,340 --> 00:43:17,600
I'm so sorry. We didn't order that. It
must be some mistake.

639
00:43:18,020 --> 00:43:19,560
It was ordered for you, Miss Street.

640
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:22,980
By whom?

641
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:29,500
I wasn't given a name. Well, just leave
it right there and come back in a little

642
00:43:29,500 --> 00:43:30,500
bit, would you please?

643
00:43:34,980 --> 00:43:37,500
Maybe he's married.

644
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:40,740
Or maybe he's just shy.

645
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:45,880
Must be some mistake.

646
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:50,540
Well, we'll call it later.

647
00:43:52,010 --> 00:43:58,750
Right now, I need you to check on the
caterer, all the temporary help at

648
00:43:58,750 --> 00:44:04,990
party. I want their precise schedules,
what they did, when they left, and

649
00:44:04,990 --> 00:44:07,470
you've made some plans I know nothing
about.

650
00:44:09,630 --> 00:44:10,630
Never.

651
00:44:11,870 --> 00:44:12,870
Never?

652
00:44:13,750 --> 00:44:14,750
Hardly ever.

653
00:44:41,390 --> 00:44:42,390
Get law.

654
00:44:43,030 --> 00:44:45,470
Now, that'd cost you money.

655
00:44:46,130 --> 00:44:47,750
And it'd mess me up.

656
00:44:48,390 --> 00:44:52,870
See, I got a job. I was talking to your
friends and they were telling me you're

657
00:44:52,870 --> 00:44:53,870
the best.

658
00:44:53,970 --> 00:44:55,130
I ain't got no friend.

659
00:44:56,150 --> 00:45:00,090
Now, come on, Adam. I mean, Mr. Randall.
What am I calling you then?

660
00:45:00,410 --> 00:45:03,950
Now, we are talking about big money
here.

661
00:45:04,250 --> 00:45:05,970
Not the kind of money you made last
night.

662
00:45:06,970 --> 00:45:08,970
I don't know what you're talking about,
mister.

663
00:45:10,050 --> 00:45:13,850
Well... Come on now, he laid the whole
thing out for me. Said you pulled it off

664
00:45:13,850 --> 00:45:14,910
nice and clean.

665
00:45:15,450 --> 00:45:18,030
That's why I gotta have you working for
me. I got to.

666
00:45:18,370 --> 00:45:19,370
You laid what out?

667
00:45:20,830 --> 00:45:22,170
Come on, Mr. Animal.

668
00:45:22,490 --> 00:45:23,690
You got a short memory.

669
00:45:26,110 --> 00:45:27,110
You know what I think?

670
00:45:27,530 --> 00:45:28,610
I think you're fishing.

671
00:45:29,410 --> 00:45:30,650
I think I know you.

672
00:45:31,330 --> 00:45:33,770
Maybe you ought to get your face out of
mine before I break yours.

673
00:45:45,230 --> 00:45:46,230
It's your loss.

674
00:45:54,950 --> 00:45:59,030
What are you doing here?

675
00:45:59,290 --> 00:46:00,890
You didn't really think I'd go home, did
you?

676
00:46:01,470 --> 00:46:02,630
Here, I brought you some coffee.

677
00:46:03,410 --> 00:46:04,410
Black and sugar, right?

678
00:46:07,410 --> 00:46:08,410
Yes.

679
00:46:09,370 --> 00:46:10,750
I did think you'd go home.

680
00:46:11,970 --> 00:46:14,550
And no, I don't like sugar in my coffee.

681
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:16,080
I'm surprised you forgot.

682
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:18,020
Actually, I just guessed.

683
00:46:19,300 --> 00:46:20,300
Where is he?

684
00:46:21,820 --> 00:46:22,820
Right there.

685
00:46:37,820 --> 00:46:40,240
Well, Doctor, you're a fine artist.

686
00:46:40,720 --> 00:46:41,720
Thank you.

687
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:43,920
What's on your mind, Mason?

688
00:46:45,260 --> 00:46:52,060
You told me you were on your ranch at
the time Wade

689
00:46:52,060 --> 00:46:53,060
was murdered.

690
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:54,120
That's right.

691
00:46:55,460 --> 00:47:00,240
Your answering service called you there
three times during that evening.

692
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:03,380
One of them was an emergency you never
picked up.

693
00:47:04,220 --> 00:47:06,820
Maybe I was in the shower or asleep.

694
00:47:08,420 --> 00:47:10,400
You can do better than that, Doctor.

695
00:47:11,660 --> 00:47:12,660
All right.

696
00:47:14,220 --> 00:47:19,440
I was at a singles bar trying to find a
girl, any girl.

697
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:21,880
I was lonely, drunk.

698
00:47:23,180 --> 00:47:25,040
But I went back to the ranch alone.

699
00:47:26,540 --> 00:47:30,080
Why are you picking on me, Mason? Do you
really think I killed Wade just to keep

700
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:31,620
my divorce out of his scandal sheet?

701
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:33,080
No.

702
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:36,600
But you did have something much more
damaging to hide.

703
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:39,600
What are you talking about?

704
00:47:40,340 --> 00:47:41,380
A young doctor.

705
00:47:42,830 --> 00:47:46,990
Much older and very rich, wife suddenly
and mysteriously dies.

706
00:47:47,550 --> 00:47:49,830
Self -administered overdose of insulin.

707
00:47:50,510 --> 00:47:52,050
Kansas City, 1967.

708
00:47:52,910 --> 00:47:57,810
You were almost indicted. Finally, the
district attorney dropped the whole

709
00:47:57,810 --> 00:47:58,810
in sufficient evidence.

710
00:47:59,310 --> 00:48:02,910
You inherited $2 million, moved here.

711
00:48:04,750 --> 00:48:09,690
If Wade printed the Kansas story along
with your present divorce, you would

712
00:48:09,690 --> 00:48:10,690
been ruined.

713
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:12,340
I didn't kill him, Mason.

714
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:19,220
No one that I know of has said that you
did, Dr. Clayman.

715
00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:21,520
No one.

716
00:48:51,180 --> 00:48:52,180
Stay here.

717
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:50,000
I blew it.

718
00:49:50,820 --> 00:49:51,820
No, you didn't.

719
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:53,400
You know who lives in this building?

720
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:56,340
My good buddy and photographer, Rick
Connor.

721
00:49:56,840 --> 00:49:57,840
You like it?

722
00:50:00,380 --> 00:50:02,600
I love it. Let's go pay him a visit.

723
00:50:04,780 --> 00:50:06,940
I always wondered how Rick could afford
this place.

724
00:50:07,500 --> 00:50:10,760
Maybe he couldn't. That's why he's
moonlighting. He hired the animal?

725
00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:12,160
He's our blackmailer?

726
00:50:14,860 --> 00:50:15,860
This is his place.

727
00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:17,160
Wait a minute.

728
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:25,060
Looks like somebody beat us here.

729
00:50:56,200 --> 00:51:02,200
see who it was this has not been a good
day

730
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:12,500
before

731
00:51:12,500 --> 00:51:19,100
or after i'm deaf if he's alive he'll be
here

732
00:51:19,100 --> 00:51:20,520
this is his second home

733
00:51:21,870 --> 00:51:22,870
Another drink?

734
00:51:22,890 --> 00:51:23,890
I don't think so.

735
00:51:24,870 --> 00:51:28,770
You know, I never really did thank you
for getting time to take my case.

736
00:51:29,130 --> 00:51:30,770
There's no time like the present.

737
00:51:33,510 --> 00:51:36,090
Get out of here, Doug. I mean it.

738
00:51:36,310 --> 00:51:37,650
One of your former associates?

739
00:51:38,130 --> 00:51:40,110
Now I know what it feels like to be fair
game.

740
00:51:41,870 --> 00:51:42,870
Oh, no.

741
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:50,960
That look familiar?

742
00:51:54,240 --> 00:51:55,660
Your partner's here.

743
00:53:16,330 --> 00:53:22,030
Lieutenant Donahue, referring to the
report which you're holding in your

744
00:53:22,110 --> 00:53:24,930
which is marked People's Exhibit H, what
was the cause of death?

745
00:53:25,450 --> 00:53:31,270
The victim died of a massive cerebral
hemorrhage resulting from watermore

746
00:53:31,270 --> 00:53:35,490
by a blunt object to the base of the
skull approximately here.

747
00:53:37,250 --> 00:53:41,690
This piece of carved marble is marked
People's Exhibit A.

748
00:53:42,970 --> 00:53:44,110
Do you recognize it?

749
00:53:44,759 --> 00:53:47,480
Yes, I do. What is it and where was it
found?

750
00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:54,140
Well, that portion of the statue was
found at the bottom of the pool

751
00:53:54,140 --> 00:53:55,140
the victim.

752
00:53:55,940 --> 00:53:59,740
And those portions were found on the
deck nearby.

753
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:03,060
Could this have been the murder weapon?

754
00:54:03,540 --> 00:54:10,540
Yes, the fragments from the statue were
found in the wound on the victim's head.

755
00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:13,620
And, of course, the portions that you
see there were found.

756
00:54:14,190 --> 00:54:15,350
close by the decedent's body.

757
00:54:15,850 --> 00:54:19,990
Now, the statue is weighty, but it's not
terribly heavy.

758
00:54:21,090 --> 00:54:22,950
Tell me, could a woman lift it, do you
think?

759
00:54:23,350 --> 00:54:26,070
Objection. No foundation in proper
opinion.

760
00:54:26,930 --> 00:54:27,930
Sustained.

761
00:54:34,170 --> 00:54:35,690
Lieutenant, one last question.

762
00:54:37,230 --> 00:54:41,010
Fingerprints were found on the smooth
portion of the statue. Were those

763
00:54:41,010 --> 00:54:44,380
identified? Yes, they match those of the
defendant.

764
00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:45,840
Thank you, Lieutenant.

765
00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:48,440
No further questions.

766
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:50,140
Mr. Mason?

767
00:54:52,560 --> 00:54:54,080
Lieutenant Donahue.

768
00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:06,540
Lieutenant Donahue, the medical
examiner's report

769
00:55:06,540 --> 00:55:10,000
also indicates the presence of...

770
00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:15,120
several other deep bruises to the back
of Mr. Wade's neck. Is that correct?

771
00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:16,840
Yes, it is.

772
00:55:17,500 --> 00:55:24,320
So it's possible that the killer
inflicted additional blows to Mr.

773
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:28,940
Wade's head either before or after the
one that caused his death?

774
00:55:29,780 --> 00:55:33,300
Well, I suppose... Objection calls for
conclusion on the part of the witness.

775
00:55:34,620 --> 00:55:35,820
We'll draw the question.

776
00:55:38,500 --> 00:55:39,500
Lieutenant...

777
00:55:40,620 --> 00:55:45,160
The defense has learned that Mr. Wade
carried a gun with him at all times.

778
00:55:45,720 --> 00:55:47,720
Does this agree with your findings?

779
00:55:48,560 --> 00:55:50,740
Yes, we have statements to that effect.

780
00:55:51,640 --> 00:55:52,700
Isn't it true Mr.

781
00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:56,660
Wade had the gun with him in his robe
pocket when he went down to the pool?

782
00:55:57,240 --> 00:56:01,360
According to Mr. Moretti, it is all in
my report there.

783
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:06,180
Now, when I first entered this case...

784
00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:09,960
I asked you if you'd found that gun.

785
00:56:11,380 --> 00:56:13,760
Now I'll ask you once again.

786
00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:16,980
Have you found it?

787
00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:19,280
No, sir.

788
00:56:20,120 --> 00:56:24,860
Since the gun had no bearing on the
crime one way or the other, and assuming

789
00:56:24,860 --> 00:56:28,160
that the defendant took it with her and
disposed of it... That's all.

790
00:56:28,420 --> 00:56:29,420
That's all.

791
00:56:30,240 --> 00:56:34,900
Mr. Moretti, is the woman you admitted
to the estate that night present in the

792
00:56:34,900 --> 00:56:35,900
court?

793
00:56:36,150 --> 00:56:37,150
Yes, he is.

794
00:56:37,290 --> 00:56:38,590
Would you point her out, please?

795
00:56:40,330 --> 00:56:41,330
That's her right there.

796
00:56:41,890 --> 00:56:43,190
Indicating the defendant.

797
00:56:45,010 --> 00:56:46,850
Now, Mr.

798
00:56:47,050 --> 00:56:52,050
Moretti, were you with Mr. Wade when the
defendant arrived at the house?

799
00:56:52,810 --> 00:56:53,810
Yes, I was.

800
00:56:55,310 --> 00:56:58,310
Was that before or after the party had
ended?

801
00:56:58,710 --> 00:57:00,370
It was a long time after the party
ended.

802
00:57:01,070 --> 00:57:03,190
Was Ms. Bente expected?

803
00:57:04,050 --> 00:57:05,190
Are you kidding?

804
00:57:06,500 --> 00:57:08,460
Mr. Wade had just fired her that
afternoon.

805
00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:12,300
So the three of you were alone by the
pool.

806
00:57:13,660 --> 00:57:14,860
Then you left.

807
00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:16,500
To secure the estate.

808
00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:21,060
Leaving the defendant alone with her
former employer, the man who had fired

809
00:57:21,060 --> 00:57:22,060
that very afternoon.

810
00:57:22,700 --> 00:57:23,980
Objection. Argument.

811
00:57:25,420 --> 00:57:27,520
Sustained. Strike Mr. S in the
statement.

812
00:57:30,100 --> 00:57:31,120
Mr. Moretti.

813
00:57:32,920 --> 00:57:34,660
How did Ms. Bente...

814
00:57:35,020 --> 00:57:36,620
appeared to you? How did she seem?

815
00:57:36,940 --> 00:57:38,480
Angry? Upset?

816
00:57:38,940 --> 00:57:39,940
Objection.

817
00:57:40,380 --> 00:57:41,380
Improper opinion.

818
00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:44,100
All right, I will withdraw the question.

819
00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:49,760
Mr. Moretti, only a few more questions,
but they are vital ones.

820
00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:58,860
Did you see Miss Benty leave the estate
that night?

821
00:57:59,500 --> 00:58:00,500
Yes, I did.

822
00:58:00,540 --> 00:58:01,640
How did she leave?

823
00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:03,560
She left very fast.

824
00:58:04,190 --> 00:58:05,810
She peeled rubber going down the
driveway.

825
00:58:06,470 --> 00:58:07,470
When was that?

826
00:58:07,990 --> 00:58:09,910
It was when I was walking back to the
pool.

827
00:58:11,810 --> 00:58:14,710
Right before I found Mr. Wade floating
in the pool.

828
00:58:15,750 --> 00:58:21,030
How much time would you say actually
elapsed from the time you saw Ms. Bente

829
00:58:21,030 --> 00:58:24,150
leave the estate until the time you
discovered Mr. Wade's body?

830
00:58:24,930 --> 00:58:28,310
Two, three minutes, Max. Two to three
minutes.

831
00:58:29,990 --> 00:58:30,990
Mr. Moretti.

832
00:58:32,130 --> 00:58:37,030
Could anyone else have left the estate
after Ms. Bente drove off?

833
00:58:37,530 --> 00:58:38,530
Absolutely not.

834
00:58:39,490 --> 00:58:40,650
Not unless they could fly.

835
00:58:41,830 --> 00:58:44,110
I secured the gates personally after she
left.

836
00:58:47,630 --> 00:58:50,870
So let me tell you something, pal. The
beating you took last night is nothing

837
00:58:50,870 --> 00:58:52,110
compared to what's coming up for you.

838
00:58:52,430 --> 00:58:54,190
Give me a break.

839
00:58:54,450 --> 00:58:57,130
We're going to be hanging coats off your
nose in a minute. I'm trying to help

840
00:58:57,130 --> 00:58:58,130
you.

841
00:59:02,370 --> 00:59:05,650
You're not the world's most popular guy
these days, you know that?

842
00:59:16,750 --> 00:59:17,750
It's up to you.

843
00:59:23,710 --> 00:59:24,710
Okay.

844
00:59:25,430 --> 00:59:26,430
Okay.

845
00:59:28,130 --> 00:59:29,730
I was in hock up to my neck.

846
00:59:31,259 --> 00:59:35,780
When I found out about the stories we
were doing, I saw a chance to bail out.

847
00:59:37,260 --> 00:59:40,460
So when Wade got killed, I hired the
animal.

848
00:59:40,700 --> 00:59:42,080
I got my hands on the files.

849
00:59:42,540 --> 00:59:44,600
All it took was a couple of phone calls.
The files, Con.

850
00:59:47,340 --> 00:59:49,020
Make them public knowledge and you're
home free.

851
00:59:50,620 --> 00:59:51,700
From the cops, too?

852
00:59:52,360 --> 00:59:55,120
So you give them Mr. Animal and you make
a deal. Come on.

853
01:00:00,180 --> 01:00:01,380
Files are in my locker.

854
01:00:03,040 --> 01:00:04,260
Spartan Athletic Club.

855
01:00:07,940 --> 01:00:11,060
These guys that made your face so pretty
last night.

856
01:00:12,160 --> 01:00:13,500
You recognize them.

857
01:00:15,100 --> 01:00:16,100
Who sent them?

858
01:00:19,160 --> 01:00:20,160
Sure.

859
01:00:20,580 --> 01:00:22,580
I took pleasure in having it done.

860
01:00:23,640 --> 01:00:26,380
The only thing I regret is that my
people are screwed up.

861
01:00:27,260 --> 01:00:28,900
I want the defile on me.

862
01:00:29,340 --> 01:00:30,720
The one the blackmailer had.

863
01:00:31,620 --> 01:00:32,900
All I bought was struggle.

864
01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:37,240
Lately, I seem to be paying too much for
too little.

865
01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:38,440
Meaning what?

866
01:00:39,160 --> 01:00:40,820
Wade owed a lot of money.

867
01:00:41,520 --> 01:00:44,680
He had thousands of promissory notes
floating around town.

868
01:00:45,900 --> 01:00:47,380
I bought them all out by the premium.

869
01:00:48,860 --> 01:00:52,780
So, if he printed any scandal about you,
you could have thrown him right into

870
01:00:52,780 --> 01:00:54,140
bankruptcy. You got it.

871
01:00:55,060 --> 01:00:56,920
He and I made a deal on his body.

872
01:00:58,830 --> 01:01:00,810
His silence for his solvency.

873
01:01:02,070 --> 01:01:08,570
You see, Mason, all you can do is nail
me for turning a two -bit blackmailer

874
01:01:08,570 --> 01:01:09,570
inside out.

875
01:01:10,790 --> 01:01:15,530
But as for murdering Wade, why would I
want to do that?

876
01:01:16,370 --> 01:01:18,030
I had him in my pocket.

877
01:01:18,890 --> 01:01:20,470
Of course you can prove all that.

878
01:01:25,010 --> 01:01:26,770
Photocopies of Wade's promissory notes.

879
01:01:28,720 --> 01:01:30,540
The originals are in my safe.

880
01:01:32,240 --> 01:01:34,060
You want to save that girl, Mason?

881
01:01:35,280 --> 01:01:37,320
You're going to have to find another
way.

882
01:01:43,300 --> 01:01:44,300
What's up?

883
01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:47,960
Coffee? No, thanks. I had it in the
shower.

884
01:01:48,220 --> 01:01:49,220
Sorry about that.

885
01:01:50,300 --> 01:01:52,120
What happened? You find Wade's missing
gun?

886
01:01:52,650 --> 01:01:56,790
I'd like you to find that Lieutenant
Colonel Stanton McCauley retired as soon

887
01:01:56,790 --> 01:01:58,830
you can. He lives somewhere in this
area.

888
01:01:59,910 --> 01:02:01,010
How does he fit in?

889
01:02:01,450 --> 01:02:03,830
He served with General Sorensen in
Vietnam.

890
01:02:04,530 --> 01:02:09,030
He was one of the junior officers who
investigated the general on some rather

891
01:02:09,030 --> 01:02:10,030
serious charges.

892
01:02:10,170 --> 01:02:13,350
Find out if McCauley thinks any of it's
true. It's all here.

893
01:02:26,990 --> 01:02:27,990
Thought you wanted to get some rest.

894
01:02:28,230 --> 01:02:30,070
I was going to until I saw this.

895
01:02:33,510 --> 01:02:35,630
This hits the newsstand tomorrow
morning.

896
01:02:41,250 --> 01:02:42,710
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

897
01:02:44,770 --> 01:02:46,710
I don't remember kissing you.

898
01:02:47,130 --> 01:02:49,650
Welcome to Harlan Wade's photo retouch
lab.

899
01:02:49,950 --> 01:02:54,210
You might also notice that my neckline
has dropped about two or three sexy

900
01:02:54,210 --> 01:02:55,210
inches.

901
01:02:56,070 --> 01:02:58,270
Wait till my mother sees this.

902
01:02:59,490 --> 01:03:04,070
Don't tell me your mother reads The
Confidential Informer. Are you kidding

903
01:03:04,390 --> 01:03:06,030
She wouldn't miss it.

904
01:03:06,910 --> 01:03:08,270
You want to get some dinner?

905
01:03:08,650 --> 01:03:10,070
This doesn't bother you?

906
01:03:11,050 --> 01:03:13,270
Not if it doesn't bother Paul's mother.

907
01:03:15,890 --> 01:03:18,070
Come on. Let's make some more headlines.

908
01:03:22,850 --> 01:03:23,850
Myth treat?

909
01:03:23,930 --> 01:03:24,930
Roger that.

910
01:03:30,060 --> 01:03:32,540
Excuse me. This just arrived for you.

911
01:03:34,220 --> 01:03:35,280
For me?

912
01:03:35,540 --> 01:03:38,940
Oh, that won't be necessary. The tip's
been taken care of. Thanks.

913
01:03:43,300 --> 01:03:44,300
Well, open it.

914
01:03:48,720 --> 01:03:49,720
Perfume?

915
01:03:50,620 --> 01:03:51,740
$400 worth.

916
01:03:52,700 --> 01:03:53,740
Sounds serious.

917
01:03:54,460 --> 01:03:56,780
I just don't understand what's going on.

918
01:03:57,740 --> 01:04:01,820
You know the flowers that were sent the
other day? They weren't from the hotel.

919
01:04:02,100 --> 01:04:05,400
And then the champagne, and then this.

920
01:04:07,020 --> 01:04:08,980
Who's sending these to me?

921
01:04:09,240 --> 01:04:11,040
What does the card say?

922
01:04:16,560 --> 01:04:22,640
From an admirer.

923
01:04:27,340 --> 01:04:28,340
You've done it again.

924
01:04:31,680 --> 01:04:38,660
Mr. Moretti, yesterday you testified
that on the night of the murder, nobody

925
01:04:38,660 --> 01:04:41,060
could have left the estate after Miss
Bente did.

926
01:04:41,280 --> 01:04:44,320
In fact, she was the last one out.

927
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:46,340
Is that still your testimony?

928
01:04:47,240 --> 01:04:48,240
Yes, it is.

929
01:04:48,580 --> 01:04:51,760
But you're not positive, are you?

930
01:04:52,820 --> 01:04:55,060
I believe I told you once before, Mr.
Mason.

931
01:04:56,160 --> 01:04:57,460
I'm paid to be positive.

932
01:04:58,300 --> 01:04:59,300
Yes, you did.

933
01:05:01,040 --> 01:05:02,540
But you told the police.

934
01:05:03,700 --> 01:05:04,700
You saw Mrs.

935
01:05:04,880 --> 01:05:10,280
Clayman in Mr. Wade's house long after
the other guests had gone home.

936
01:05:10,760 --> 01:05:14,500
She was there all right. I saw her come
running out of his bedroom just before

937
01:05:14,500 --> 01:05:15,820
he went and took his final swim.

938
01:05:16,280 --> 01:05:18,400
You didn't see her leave the estate, did
you?

939
01:05:18,960 --> 01:05:19,960
No.

940
01:05:21,600 --> 01:05:24,320
Now, would you look at that...

941
01:05:25,130 --> 01:05:29,410
Young blonde lady seated in the second
row. Miss Henderson, please stand.

942
01:05:30,170 --> 01:05:33,350
You recognize her, do you not?

943
01:05:35,390 --> 01:05:37,510
Yeah. I know her.

944
01:05:37,930 --> 01:05:42,330
Wasn't she one of the cocktail
waitresses employed by the catering

945
01:05:42,330 --> 01:05:43,330
the party?

946
01:05:44,790 --> 01:05:46,010
Yeah, I believe she was.

947
01:05:46,590 --> 01:05:51,790
And she left with the catering van after
Miss Bente did?

948
01:05:52,170 --> 01:05:53,170
No.

949
01:05:55,920 --> 01:05:56,920
Well, maybe.

950
01:05:57,420 --> 01:05:58,740
Maybe she did.

951
01:06:00,480 --> 01:06:06,240
Mr. Moretti, you testified earlier that
from the time Miss Venti left

952
01:06:06,240 --> 01:06:12,860
to the time you discovered the body,
only two to three minutes had

953
01:06:12,860 --> 01:06:16,480
elapsed. Yeah, that's pretty close to
the time.

954
01:06:16,820 --> 01:06:18,820
But you're paid to be positive.

955
01:06:20,640 --> 01:06:23,140
Isn't it true you delayed the...

956
01:06:24,510 --> 01:06:30,830
Catering van's departure at least eight
to ten minutes while you tried to hustle

957
01:06:30,830 --> 01:06:33,790
Miss Henderson's telephone number from
her?

958
01:06:34,970 --> 01:06:36,010
Eight to ten minutes.

959
01:06:36,630 --> 01:06:40,430
Excuse me, but it's never taken me eight
to ten minutes to get any girl's phone

960
01:06:40,430 --> 01:06:41,430
number.

961
01:06:41,530 --> 01:06:43,390
Eight to ten minutes, Mr. Moretti.

962
01:06:43,990 --> 01:06:48,350
The gate guard, the van driver, and Miss
Henderson will all testify.

963
01:06:51,290 --> 01:06:53,430
It might have been a little longer.

964
01:06:55,050 --> 01:06:57,610
It was a little longer.

965
01:06:57,890 --> 01:06:59,210
Thank you, Miss Henderson.

966
01:07:00,390 --> 01:07:07,190
Mr. Moretti, if I now understand your
testimony correctly, it is

967
01:07:07,190 --> 01:07:13,170
entirely possible that someone hiding in
the house could have gone down to the

968
01:07:13,170 --> 01:07:19,830
pool, waited for Miss Bente to leave,
killed Mr. Wade, and then fled the

969
01:07:20,310 --> 01:07:24,230
Objection, Your Honor. Calls for
speculation. I have no further

970
01:07:24,230 --> 01:07:25,230
Honor.

971
01:07:26,940 --> 01:07:29,480
Yeah, I drive that old van. Logan
Caterers.

972
01:07:29,800 --> 01:07:30,800
Uses me a lot.

973
01:07:31,820 --> 01:07:36,180
How many people did you drive out to the
Wade party, Mr. Forbes?

974
01:07:37,060 --> 01:07:38,740
Eight, but I didn't know any of them.

975
01:07:40,300 --> 01:07:41,340
You're sure it was eight?

976
01:07:42,520 --> 01:07:44,980
Now, there's one thing I can do, and I
can do good.

977
01:07:45,560 --> 01:07:48,960
I can drive, and I can count. And when I
say that there was eight people

978
01:07:48,960 --> 01:07:54,200
penciling on that roster thing, that's
precisely how many there was, and that

979
01:07:54,200 --> 01:07:55,960
precisely how many I took.

980
01:07:57,100 --> 01:08:02,580
When you left the Wade estate, Mr.
Forbes, after the party was over, was

981
01:08:02,580 --> 01:08:03,760
van full?

982
01:08:04,120 --> 01:08:05,460
Ain't had an empty seat in the house.

983
01:08:06,260 --> 01:08:09,440
How many passengers does your van carry?

984
01:08:10,580 --> 01:08:11,620
Carries? Let's see now.

985
01:08:12,540 --> 01:08:13,780
Let me figure this out.

986
01:08:14,240 --> 01:08:17,300
It's got nine seats plus mine.

987
01:08:18,819 --> 01:08:21,840
So... Nine.

988
01:08:23,520 --> 01:08:29,580
In other words, Mr. Forbes, you
brought... Eight people out to the

989
01:08:29,580 --> 01:08:31,319
took nine back to town.

990
01:08:34,560 --> 01:08:36,939
That's right. You're pretty good.

991
01:08:38,340 --> 01:08:40,740
Now, you're not trying to say that I
helped no murderer escape.

992
01:08:41,500 --> 01:08:44,460
No, Mr. Forbes, it's just simple
arithmetic.

993
01:08:45,660 --> 01:08:47,560
I've no further questions.

994
01:08:48,439 --> 01:08:49,439
Mr. Reston.

995
01:08:50,399 --> 01:08:51,399
Nothing, Your Honor.

996
01:08:52,180 --> 01:08:53,680
You may step down.

997
01:08:54,770 --> 01:08:58,810
Defense calls Marion Clayman to the
stand.

998
01:09:01,029 --> 01:09:04,529
Mrs. Clayman, you've heard testimony to
the effect.

999
01:09:04,850 --> 01:09:06,689
What I've heard is beneath contempt.

1000
01:09:08,370 --> 01:09:09,990
May I finish my question?

1001
01:09:10,290 --> 01:09:14,710
I'll finish it for you. Yes, I stayed
behind and waited for Wade after the

1002
01:09:14,710 --> 01:09:18,870
was over. And yes, I was in his bedroom
with him just before Mr. Moretti saw me

1003
01:09:18,870 --> 01:09:22,090
leave. But no, I did not kill him.

1004
01:09:23,050 --> 01:09:24,050
Thank you.

1005
01:09:25,660 --> 01:09:30,040
Mrs. Clayman, you will please restrain
yourself from doing anything more than

1006
01:09:30,040 --> 01:09:31,500
answering counsel's questions.

1007
01:09:31,819 --> 01:09:32,819
Is that understood?

1008
01:09:32,960 --> 01:09:36,760
Your Honor, what Mr. Mason is about to
do is to smear me with innuendos about

1009
01:09:36,760 --> 01:09:40,399
why I was in Mr. Wade's bed or my past
relationship with him. You are not to

1010
01:09:40,399 --> 01:09:45,979
anticipate counsel's questions nor
speculate on what he may be going to do.

1011
01:09:46,540 --> 01:09:50,560
You will simply wait for counsel's
question and respond. Is that clear?

1012
01:09:51,180 --> 01:09:52,180
Yes, perfectly.

1013
01:09:52,479 --> 01:09:53,479
Thank you.

1014
01:09:53,899 --> 01:09:55,220
You may continue, Mr. Mason.

1015
01:09:57,420 --> 01:10:04,320
Mrs. Clayman, weren't you waiting in Mr.
Wade's bedroom in order to persuade

1016
01:10:04,320 --> 01:10:07,100
him not to publish the story about your
impending divorce?

1017
01:10:08,740 --> 01:10:15,260
I guess so. In fact, you didn't want him
to publish anything in any way

1018
01:10:15,260 --> 01:10:17,760
that touched on the divorce. Isn't that
true?

1019
01:10:19,180 --> 01:10:23,020
Oh, what's the use? No, I didn't want
him to go within a million miles of it.

1020
01:10:23,660 --> 01:10:27,980
How did you plan to persuade him not to
publish that story?

1021
01:10:29,780 --> 01:10:34,580
I offered to do whatever he wanted if
he'd keep it out of his lousy paper.

1022
01:10:38,140 --> 01:10:44,340
And did you?

1023
01:10:45,420 --> 01:10:49,480
Objection, Your Honor. There is no
relevancy here. Mr. Mason is harassing

1024
01:10:49,480 --> 01:10:50,980
witness. Your Honor.

1025
01:10:52,170 --> 01:10:57,510
I'm attempting to prove that my client
wasn't the only one with the opportunity

1026
01:10:57,510 --> 01:10:59,190
and the motive to kill.

1027
01:11:00,570 --> 01:11:02,410
Sustained. I'll not allow the question.

1028
01:11:03,170 --> 01:11:08,470
No, it seemed he preferred to take a
cold swim. Mrs. Clayman, you are not to

1029
01:11:08,470 --> 01:11:11,390
answer questions to which I have already
sustained objections.

1030
01:11:12,210 --> 01:11:13,550
The answer will be stricken.

1031
01:11:14,170 --> 01:11:15,650
You may continue, Mr. Mason.

1032
01:11:16,850 --> 01:11:18,070
You were married.

1033
01:11:19,400 --> 01:11:22,360
Before your marriage to Dr. Clayman,
were you not?

1034
01:11:23,300 --> 01:11:25,920
That was a long time ago. I was just a
kid.

1035
01:11:26,240 --> 01:11:27,880
Back in Texas, wasn't it?

1036
01:11:30,080 --> 01:11:31,080
Yes.

1037
01:11:32,760 --> 01:11:39,060
Isn't it true you never divorced and you
knew you weren't divorced when you

1038
01:11:39,060 --> 01:11:40,060
married Dr. Clayman?

1039
01:11:40,320 --> 01:11:46,200
No. Mrs. Clayman, isn't it true that
Harlan Wade discovered all of this and

1040
01:11:46,200 --> 01:11:47,660
threatened to publish his discoveries?

1041
01:11:48,620 --> 01:11:53,120
Thus making your marriage to Dr. Clayman
a nullity, depriving you of support and

1042
01:11:53,120 --> 01:11:54,120
community property?

1043
01:12:00,020 --> 01:12:01,120
Mrs. Clayman?

1044
01:12:03,340 --> 01:12:05,620
Look, I knew that Wade had found out.

1045
01:12:05,880 --> 01:12:08,720
And that if he published the story, I'd
be finished, ruined.

1046
01:12:09,980 --> 01:12:11,300
But I didn't kill him.

1047
01:12:12,880 --> 01:12:13,880
Didn't you?

1048
01:12:15,780 --> 01:12:17,340
Mr. Moretti testified.

1049
01:12:19,210 --> 01:12:23,770
That he did not see you actually leave
the estate. No one else did either.

1050
01:12:24,350 --> 01:12:25,590
Objection, Your Honor.

1051
01:12:26,350 --> 01:12:31,470
Mrs. Clayman is not on trial here. Mr.
Mason is argumentative. Your Honor, I'm

1052
01:12:31,470 --> 01:12:35,470
merely attempting to establish that my
client might not have been the last

1053
01:12:35,470 --> 01:12:42,330
person to leave. That, in fact, Mrs.
Clayman could have been the ninth person

1054
01:12:42,330 --> 01:12:43,330
in the van.

1055
01:12:45,710 --> 01:12:47,210
I'm sustaining, Mr. Mason.

1056
01:13:01,520 --> 01:13:04,440
Mrs. Clayman, you're acquainted with
Miss Hillary Scott?

1057
01:13:06,100 --> 01:13:07,800
Yes, she babysits my children.

1058
01:13:09,020 --> 01:13:12,860
Isn't it true you had to pay Miss Scott
overtime because it was nearly midnight

1059
01:13:12,860 --> 01:13:14,260
when you returned from the party?

1060
01:13:14,560 --> 01:13:16,180
Where were you all that time?

1061
01:13:18,340 --> 01:13:23,080
Objection. No relevancy. Mr. Mason is
harassing and humiliating this witness.

1062
01:13:24,200 --> 01:13:25,720
Order. Order.

1063
01:13:28,720 --> 01:13:29,720
Mr.

1064
01:13:30,500 --> 01:13:31,500
Mason.

1065
01:13:32,010 --> 01:13:35,870
I have been tolerant up to now, but this
concludes this line of questioning.

1066
01:13:37,250 --> 01:13:38,250
Yes, it does.

1067
01:13:38,390 --> 01:13:39,490
Thank you, Your Honor.

1068
01:13:41,850 --> 01:13:42,970
No further questions.

1069
01:13:46,490 --> 01:13:47,610
Did she do it?

1070
01:13:48,310 --> 01:13:49,330
What do you think?

1071
01:13:50,290 --> 01:13:51,290
No.

1072
01:13:53,230 --> 01:13:54,230
No.

1073
01:13:57,510 --> 01:13:58,510
General.

1074
01:13:59,600 --> 01:14:02,200
Would you describe yourself as a man of
action?

1075
01:14:05,000 --> 01:14:07,340
I would describe myself as a former
soldier.

1076
01:14:07,800 --> 01:14:10,920
Who's seen combat, a great deal of
combat.

1077
01:14:11,980 --> 01:14:13,140
A foot and two ones.

1078
01:14:14,460 --> 01:14:15,540
And you've killed.

1079
01:14:17,080 --> 01:14:20,600
I was an airborne rager, Mr. Mason, not
a pastry chef.

1080
01:14:21,160 --> 01:14:23,380
Meaning you have killed.

1081
01:14:23,860 --> 01:14:24,860
Yes.

1082
01:14:26,140 --> 01:14:28,280
Have you ever killed with your bare
hands?

1083
01:14:29,379 --> 01:14:30,580
Objection. Relevancy.

1084
01:14:31,120 --> 01:14:35,340
It would appear that Mr. Mason is
attempting to put the entire state on

1085
01:14:35,340 --> 01:14:40,340
for murder in the bizarre hope of
distracting this court from the real

1086
01:14:40,460 --> 01:14:45,820
the guilt or innocence of Michelle
Bente. Your Honor, my sole purpose is to

1087
01:14:45,820 --> 01:14:51,100
with the real issue by proving to this
court that my client is innocent.

1088
01:14:52,560 --> 01:14:54,260
You may proceed, Mr. Mason.

1089
01:14:58,320 --> 01:15:05,040
When you did kill General, how did you
regard

1090
01:15:05,040 --> 01:15:06,040
your enemy?

1091
01:15:07,580 --> 01:15:08,580
As an enemy.

1092
01:15:10,220 --> 01:15:12,320
Is that how you felt about Harlan Wade?

1093
01:15:13,480 --> 01:15:16,620
That he was an enemy to be hated and
feared?

1094
01:15:18,380 --> 01:15:19,840
I wouldn't say feared.

1095
01:15:20,300 --> 01:15:21,560
You didn't fear him?

1096
01:15:22,320 --> 01:15:25,960
Even though he was going to publish
articles purporting to...

1097
01:15:26,560 --> 01:15:32,240
Prove that while serving in Vietnam, you
participated in the selling of millions

1098
01:15:32,240 --> 01:15:35,980
of dollars of medical supplies to the
black market? That you were a thief?

1099
01:15:36,220 --> 01:15:39,280
And worse, a traitor to humanity?

1100
01:15:39,980 --> 01:15:41,980
Those would have been Wade's
allegations.

1101
01:15:43,400 --> 01:15:47,480
All those charges made against me
weren't true. Anybody who knows me knows

1102
01:15:47,480 --> 01:15:48,480
they are lies.

1103
01:15:49,440 --> 01:15:51,660
That is fair, Holland Wade or his paper.

1104
01:15:52,690 --> 01:15:58,270
Wouldn't Wade's allegations, indeed,
wouldn't Wade himself have ruined your

1105
01:15:58,270 --> 01:16:03,310
chance to become executive vice
president of the South Wing Corporation,

1106
01:16:03,310 --> 01:16:06,250
position paying hundreds of thousands of
dollars a year?

1107
01:16:07,530 --> 01:16:11,130
Anybody would kill for reasons like that
and have to be insane, Mr.

1108
01:16:11,430 --> 01:16:17,110
Mason. There are many kinds of insanity,
aren't there, General?

1109
01:16:19,390 --> 01:16:20,390
Yes, there are.

1110
01:16:21,740 --> 01:16:28,460
Do you recall an occasion during the
Vietnam War when a man saved your

1111
01:16:28,460 --> 01:16:32,300
life by killing with his bare hands?

1112
01:16:34,900 --> 01:16:41,420
Isn't it true, General, that you and
Colonel McCauley were saved by a young

1113
01:16:41,420 --> 01:16:47,640
driver, a black belt expert, who killed
two of your attackers with his bare

1114
01:16:47,640 --> 01:16:48,640
hands?

1115
01:16:53,640 --> 01:16:58,540
What, General, is that heroic soldier's
name?

1116
01:17:01,480 --> 01:17:03,580
You're talking about my former aide of
camp.

1117
01:17:04,840 --> 01:17:07,920
My friend, Mr. James Rivers.

1118
01:17:09,880 --> 01:17:14,760
Captain Rivers, you heard General
Sorensen describe you as a friend.

1119
01:17:15,160 --> 01:17:20,300
Isn't it true that after you saved his
life, he recommended you for officer's

1120
01:17:20,300 --> 01:17:21,300
candidate school?

1121
01:17:21,740 --> 01:17:24,660
And after you were commissioned, he had
you assigned to him?

1122
01:17:25,320 --> 01:17:26,320
Yes, sir.

1123
01:17:27,180 --> 01:17:31,260
And you resigned your commission how
long after he retired?

1124
01:17:31,900 --> 01:17:34,060
I believe it was the very next day.

1125
01:17:34,320 --> 01:17:35,320
The next day?

1126
01:17:35,940 --> 01:17:37,460
You really are devoted.

1127
01:17:37,920 --> 01:17:40,620
Is that something I should be ashamed
of, Mr. May? No, no.

1128
01:17:42,260 --> 01:17:48,780
Now, Captain Rivers, would you please
tell the court just

1129
01:17:48,780 --> 01:17:49,940
where you were?

1130
01:17:50,510 --> 01:17:52,710
at the moment Harlan Wade was murdered.

1131
01:17:53,670 --> 01:17:57,550
I would imagine I was driving General
Sorensen and his wife home.

1132
01:17:57,990 --> 01:17:58,990
No, Captain.

1133
01:17:59,990 --> 01:18:02,250
You came to the party in your own car.

1134
01:18:02,670 --> 01:18:07,290
The gate guard noted the license number,
and if necessary, I can recall the

1135
01:18:07,290 --> 01:18:11,430
general. No, no, I'm sorry. I forgot.
It's my fault. You see, I usually drive

1136
01:18:11,430 --> 01:18:12,770
the general everywhere he goes.

1137
01:18:13,130 --> 01:18:16,190
But this was a special occasion, wasn't
it?

1138
01:18:16,970 --> 01:18:18,870
You wanted to see Wade?

1139
01:18:19,920 --> 01:18:21,440
You wanted to see him alone.

1140
01:18:22,340 --> 01:18:25,600
So you drove off, parked the car nearby,
and then walked back.

1141
01:18:25,860 --> 01:18:26,860
Isn't that so?

1142
01:18:27,280 --> 01:18:29,080
No, Mr. Mason, that is not so.

1143
01:18:29,420 --> 01:18:31,080
Tell me something, Captain Rivers.

1144
01:18:31,940 --> 01:18:37,060
Isn't it true that you are an expert in
unarmed defense?

1145
01:18:38,620 --> 01:18:39,740
I suppose I am.

1146
01:18:40,220 --> 01:18:46,240
And that if a man pulled a gun on you
and was within your reach, it might be

1147
01:18:46,240 --> 01:18:48,280
last thing he ever did in this life?

1148
01:18:49,590 --> 01:18:52,630
I think that's putting it a little
strong. Is it?

1149
01:18:53,550 --> 01:18:54,550
Why?

1150
01:18:56,070 --> 01:19:00,070
Isn't that what really happened when you
confronted Wade in the corridor of his

1151
01:19:00,070 --> 01:19:02,670
house? He was surprised. He pulled his
gun.

1152
01:19:04,270 --> 01:19:09,830
Confronted by an angry man waving a gun,
you reacted as you'd been trained to

1153
01:19:09,830 --> 01:19:12,330
do. You killed him with a karate blow to
the back of his neck.

1154
01:19:13,190 --> 01:19:16,130
Harlan Wade's body was found in his own
swimming pool.

1155
01:19:16,570 --> 01:19:21,630
He was dragged there, thrown into the
water, after you discovered you'd killed

1156
01:19:21,630 --> 01:19:22,630
him.

1157
01:19:24,610 --> 01:19:28,550
This statue was just window dressing,
wasn't it?

1158
01:19:29,710 --> 01:19:34,710
You used it on his corpse to make it
look like the murder weapon.

1159
01:19:35,730 --> 01:19:37,710
Oh, you were lucky, weren't you?

1160
01:19:38,950 --> 01:19:42,410
Lucky that the caterer's van was still
on the estate?

1161
01:19:46,959 --> 01:19:49,260
Lucky that there was an empty seat.

1162
01:19:49,760 --> 01:19:53,180
Lucky that you could pose as just
another temporary employee.

1163
01:19:54,100 --> 01:19:56,300
Lucky to have gotten away undetected.

1164
01:19:56,580 --> 01:19:58,900
Your Honor, this is pure speculation.

1165
01:19:59,480 --> 01:20:02,480
Your Honor, may we have a moment?

1166
01:20:03,100 --> 01:20:04,100
Yes, you may.

1167
01:20:23,510 --> 01:20:24,510
Proceed, Mr. Mason.

1168
01:20:33,050 --> 01:20:39,450
Captain Rivers. Now, you are way out of
line, mister, and you can't prove any of

1169
01:20:39,450 --> 01:20:40,450
this.

1170
01:20:42,330 --> 01:20:43,610
I'm afraid I can.

1171
01:20:46,450 --> 01:20:50,690
Captain Rivers, there's a bullet hole in
the wall of the corridor where the

1172
01:20:50,690 --> 01:20:51,690
murder took place.

1173
01:20:53,580 --> 01:20:57,200
At my request this morning, the police
removed a bullet from there.

1174
01:20:58,140 --> 01:21:00,240
There are traces of fabric on it.

1175
01:21:00,860 --> 01:21:05,180
Your Honor, all of this had absolutely
nothing to do with me.

1176
01:21:05,400 --> 01:21:11,760
Police at this moment are checking the
jacket you wore to the party to see if

1177
01:21:11,760 --> 01:21:13,560
those traces of fabric match it.

1178
01:21:15,060 --> 01:21:21,200
Defense is prepared to prove that this
bullet, that this bullet, taken from the

1179
01:21:21,200 --> 01:21:22,200
wall...

1180
01:21:22,440 --> 01:21:24,520
was fired from this gun.

1181
01:21:26,360 --> 01:21:28,180
Harlan Wade's missing gun.

1182
01:21:29,280 --> 01:21:33,540
The gun that you, Captain Rivers, ripped
from him after he'd fired at you.

1183
01:21:33,780 --> 01:21:39,960
There was a struggle, the gun was lost,
but the barrel of this gun had your

1184
01:21:39,960 --> 01:21:40,960
fingerprints on it.

1185
01:21:42,720 --> 01:21:46,360
More than that, there is final proof
that you killed Harlan Wade.

1186
01:21:46,890 --> 01:21:51,750
A fresh bullet wound. Somewhere on your
body, Captain Rivers, there is a fresh

1187
01:21:51,750 --> 01:21:52,750
bullet wound.

1188
01:21:53,390 --> 01:21:54,390
Thank you.

1189
01:21:57,710 --> 01:21:58,710
All right.

1190
01:22:00,290 --> 01:22:03,090
I did it. I killed him! No!

1191
01:22:06,150 --> 01:22:07,230
I did it.

1192
01:22:08,430 --> 01:22:09,810
I didn't mean to.

1193
01:22:11,210 --> 01:22:13,130
But, sir, I don't regret it.

1194
01:22:13,770 --> 01:22:15,550
And, yes, I waited.

1195
01:22:16,190 --> 01:22:20,490
For Wade that night in his house until
after the party, because I was

1196
01:22:20,490 --> 01:22:22,850
to get him off the general's back.

1197
01:22:23,930 --> 01:22:25,930
I was determined.

1198
01:22:26,710 --> 01:22:30,470
But before I could open my mouth, that
man pulled a gun on me.

1199
01:22:32,690 --> 01:22:36,170
Let me let me tell you about the
wonderful Mr. Wade.

1200
01:22:37,410 --> 01:22:42,430
That man, he feared and hated the whole
world.

1201
01:22:43,500 --> 01:22:47,000
And the world in return hated him, and
rightfully so.

1202
01:22:48,880 --> 01:22:54,360
That man was a disgrace to his
profession,

1203
01:22:54,540 --> 01:23:00,620
to our country, and most of all to
humanity.

1204
01:23:03,820 --> 01:23:08,900
And he set out to destroy one

1205
01:23:08,900 --> 01:23:12,840
of our greatest patriots.

1206
01:23:15,120 --> 01:23:16,960
And one of our greatest soldiers.

1207
01:23:20,780 --> 01:23:22,520
And the finest...

1208
01:23:22,520 --> 01:23:28,220
The

1209
01:23:28,220 --> 01:23:34,460
finest man that I have ever had the
honor of knowing.

1210
01:23:40,080 --> 01:23:44,160
And in the end, Harlan Wade destroyed
himself.

1211
01:24:00,680 --> 01:24:07,680
And for you, Miss Bente, all I can say
is that if you're going to work

1212
01:24:07,680 --> 01:24:12,640
for the devil, don't be surprised if you
get burned.

1213
01:24:15,560 --> 01:24:16,560
I'm sorry.

1214
01:24:26,440 --> 01:24:30,200
Your Honor, the people move for a
complete dismissal of all charges

1215
01:24:30,200 --> 01:24:31,200
defendant.

1216
01:24:31,600 --> 01:24:32,600
Case dismissed.

1217
01:25:17,700 --> 01:25:18,700
Congratulations, Counselor.

1218
01:25:19,400 --> 01:25:22,100
That was remarkable.

1219
01:25:23,460 --> 01:25:24,460
Remarkable even for you.

1220
01:25:42,780 --> 01:25:43,980
Well, a whole new start.

1221
01:25:45,390 --> 01:25:48,770
Somewhere, I'm going to find a paper, I
don't care how small, that will let me

1222
01:25:48,770 --> 01:25:49,970
do my job the honest way.

1223
01:25:51,190 --> 01:25:52,430
Perry, I'd like to thank you.

1224
01:25:53,990 --> 01:25:54,889
Mr. Mason.

1225
01:25:54,890 --> 01:25:56,370
On your way, both of you.

1226
01:25:57,850 --> 01:25:58,648
Bye -bye.

1227
01:25:58,650 --> 01:25:59,650
Goodbye, dear.

1228
01:26:02,190 --> 01:26:03,590
At last, we're alone.

1229
01:26:06,950 --> 01:26:07,950
Um, Perry.

1230
01:26:09,250 --> 01:26:12,630
I know who sent me the flowers, the
champagne, and the perfume.

1231
01:26:14,650 --> 01:26:17,870
Who? You. Why would I do that?

1232
01:26:18,630 --> 01:26:20,710
Because it was my birthday.

1233
01:26:21,210 --> 01:26:25,870
You felt sorry for me, being here so
many miles from home.

1234
01:26:26,410 --> 01:26:27,870
I admit nothing.

1235
01:26:29,150 --> 01:26:34,970
If you remember, after I was 39, I
stopped counting my birthdays.

1236
01:26:35,550 --> 01:26:41,470
Really? What about the pearls, the
amethyst ring, and all the other things?

1237
01:26:42,020 --> 01:26:44,980
Does that mean you're going to return
them when you get to be 97?

1238
01:26:47,120 --> 01:26:48,860
Absolutely not. That's my girl.

1239
01:26:49,960 --> 01:26:51,080
Don't you forget it.

1240
01:28:01,800 --> 01:28:02,800
