keeping her in the gallery. - Then let's storm the joint.

- You get Molly. I'll get the Pitkins.
- All right.

00:00:15,700 --> 00:00:19,261
- You think of everything.
- They never did find the body.

[ Murmuring ]
16
00:02:31,068 --> 00:02:35,630
And now, a work by
our local artist of the month-
17
00:02:35,740 --> 00:02:37,901
Joanne Pitkin.
18
00:02:38,009 --> 00:02:43,379
Miss Pitkin seems to me to be an artistof unique and unusual vision.
19
00:02:43,481 --> 00:02:48,441
While her work is still maturing, it is,nonetheless, eminently collectible.
20
00:02:48,552 --> 00:02:51,248
This work, entitled Anxiety One...
21
00:02:51,355 --> 00:02:54,950
is one of the artist's
most complex visions.
22
00:02:56,727 --> 00:03:00,163
Shall we open the biddingat, say, $ 1,000?
23
00:03:04,201 --> 00:03:06,965
I have 1 ,000.
Who will make it 1 ,1 00?
24
00:03:09,473 --> 00:03:12,340
1 ,1 00. Now 1 ,200?
25
00:03:14,445 --> 00:03:17,505
1 ,200.

$1 ,600.
30
00:03:52,283 --> 00:03:54,547

31
00:03:56,454 --> 00:04:00,220
- [ Gavel Pounds ]
- Sold for $1 ,600 to, uh-

Number nine.
33
00:04:14,205 --> 00:04:16,435
Thank you.
34
00:04:38,829 --> 00:04:41,320
- They told you she paid for the painting and left?
- Right.
35
00:04:41,432 --> 00:04:44,230
- And you're sure Miss Donovan
wouldn't have done this? - Right.
36
00:04:44,335 --> 00:04:48,271
Mr. Walker, the Conant Galleries
practices its share of felonies.
37
00:04:48,372 --> 00:04:51,535
Their prices are highway robbery,
their arrogance is criminal...
38
00:04:51,642 --> 00:04:55,043
and they should do hard time
for some of the artists they represent.
39
00:04:55,146 --> 00:04:57,706
But kidnapping doesn't seem
in their line.
40
00:04:57,815 --> 00:04:59,840
Maybe. Maybe not.
41
00:05:02,253 --> 00:05:06,519
- Go on.
- Maybe. Maybe not.
42
00:05:06,624 --> 00:05:08,524
Uh, um-
43
00:05:08,626 --> 00:05:10,594
Oh! Oh! Vinegar will take
that right out...
44
00:05:10,694 --> 00:05:13,094
as long as you get to it
before it dries.
45
00:05:13,197 --> 00:05:16,598
You realize that's the longest sentence you've
spoken since you walked through that door.
46
00:05:18,836 --> 00:05:21,737
Others talk,
Rick Walker listens.
47
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,637
You're not going to leave us
in suspense on that one?
48
00:05:24,742 --> 00:05:29,338
Molly and I are, uh, investigative reporters.
The L.A. Trib?
49
00:05:29,447 --> 00:05:32,109
You were investigating the gallery?
50
00:05:32,216 --> 00:05:34,684
- About what?
- It's very hush-hush.
51
00:05:36,086 --> 00:05:37,986
[ Whispering ]
You can tell us.
52
00:05:38,088 --> 00:05:39,988
Look, can't you muscle Conant a bit?
Shake him up?
53
00:05:40,090 --> 00:05:44,186
You may have noticed the sign on the door-
Remington Steele, not Sam Spade.
54
00:05:45,596 --> 00:05:48,793
If anything happens to Molly,
I'll never forgive myself.
55
00:05:48,899 --> 00:05:51,561
That's not the longest answer
you gave us, Mr. Walker...
56
00:05:51,669 --> 00:05:54,638
but it's certainly the most persuasive.
57
00:06:12,122 --> 00:06:16,183
- Molly Donovan paid money
for this woman's work? - For an expos�.
58
00:06:16,293 --> 00:06:19,490
[ Steele ] Exposing what?A shocking lack of talent?
59
00:06:19,597 --> 00:06:23,829
I didn't know you had such
definite opinions about art.
60
00:06:23,934 --> 00:06:27,131
Laura, must I remind you
that only a couple of years ago...
61
00:06:27,238 --> 00:06:29,570
I was appropriating some
of the finest works in Europe.
62
00:06:29,673 --> 00:06:32,540
I do my best to forget that.
63
00:06:34,111 --> 00:06:36,079
The artist herself.
64
00:06:37,448 --> 00:06:39,848
[ Laura ] Nice wheelsfor a struggling artist, eh?
65
00:06:39,950 --> 00:06:42,145
Makes you wonder
who she's been struggling with.
66
00:06:42,253 --> 00:06:46,781
Perhaps I should look into that one. You think
you can penetrate this bastion of culture alone?
67
00:06:46,891 --> 00:06:48,882
Oh, of course.
Laura, you've changed my life.
68
00:06:48,993 --> 00:06:51,518
I'm actually looking forward
to going through the front door.
69
00:06:57,568 --> 00:07:00,002
Oops. Sorry, my fault.
70
00:07:03,807 --> 00:07:07,208
Mr. Steele, I think what
we're dealing with here...
71
00:07:07,311 --> 00:07:11,077
is a lovers' misunderstanding.
72
00:07:11,181 --> 00:07:15,083
I suspect Miss Donovan
may have gotten carried away.
73
00:07:15,185 --> 00:07:17,278
I suspect the same thing.
74
00:07:17,388 --> 00:07:19,686
With her purchase.
75
00:07:19,790 --> 00:07:22,020
- The Pitkin?
- The Pitkin.
76
00:07:22,126 --> 00:07:25,584
Molly Donovan is only the third-string
art critic for the Tribune...
77
00:07:25,696 --> 00:07:28,597
but she obviouslyhas an eye for talent.
78
00:07:28,699 --> 00:07:32,066
It must have cost her a month's salary
to buy Anxiety One.
79
00:07:32,169 --> 00:07:34,535
I certainly hope that's
the only anxiety she bought.
80
00:07:34,638 --> 00:07:38,802
Mr. Steele, this conversation
is becoming pointless.
81
00:07:40,210 --> 00:07:43,008
Who is this Remington Steele?
82
00:07:43,113 --> 00:07:45,980
He's, uh, no one,Mr. Asuda. A buyer.
83
00:07:46,083 --> 00:07:49,814
- What is he buying?
- Nothing you'd be interested in, sir.
84
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,718
You know what I'm interested in.
85
00:07:52,823 --> 00:07:57,692
Now, I have paid my deposit.
86
00:07:57,795 --> 00:08:02,232
You tell Conant this delay
is bad for my blood pressure and his.

Oh, Mrs. Haddon.
I, uh, didn't hear you come in.
89
00:08:07,538 --> 00:08:11,998
- Remind him of the Venice Art Festival.
- The one that, um-
90
00:08:12,109 --> 00:08:14,407
Ended so tragically.
91
00:08:14,511 --> 00:08:18,003
I'd contracted to purchase
a rather unique Rubens...
92
00:08:18,115 --> 00:08:20,583
but the young man
entrusted to deliver it...
93
00:08:20,684 --> 00:08:24,313
thought he could obtain
a better price elsewhere.

Oh! Art Insight?
Honey, you people are heavy. Heavy!

Even Cliff Conant doesn't
understand your articles.

is the avenue towards revelation...

In your bio, it says you live
in a garret in Hermosa Beach.

- Who are you working for, Miss Donovan?
- No one.

You wouldn't hang a Pitkin

Well, that's what they used
to say about the Impressionists.

Why shouldn't I have bid

126
00:11:35,045 --> 00:11:37,741
Clifford Conant changed my life.
127
00:11:37,848 --> 00:11:39,907
I'd bought things
from him for years-
128
00:11:40,017 --> 00:11:43,680
the Rauschenberg in the living room,
the Pollock in the study...
129

Oh. A C�zanne in the powder room.
How nice for your guests.
131
00:11:50,027 --> 00:11:52,359
Well, you have to
look at something.
132
00:11:52,462 --> 00:11:55,898
Anyway, when Pitkin
and I went bad, I just-

Anyway, once Pitkin
and I went kaput...
138
00:12:15,152 --> 00:12:18,383
I liberated myself at my easel.
139
00:12:18,488 --> 00:12:23,323
I put myself on the line.
I plumbed my depths.
140

Well, you did an excellent job,

- Off the record?
- Oh, of course.

Cliff's got this thing about shapes.
Dimensions.

He's very specific.

Every man's got his kinks, right?
152
00:13:08,472 --> 00:13:11,771
At least Cliff's are putting me
on the art map.
153

What did I get after
1 8 years of Pitkin's kinks? Carpools.
154
00:13:19,583 --> 00:13:24,077
She told me she's
just completed a 46-by-54...
155
00:13:24,187 --> 00:13:29,989
a 2 4-by-30 and a 60-by-20

157
00:13:32,996 --> 00:13:37,228
Well, well, what do you know?
That is a coincidence.
158
00:13:37,334 --> 00:13:39,666
Although I'll admit
it is a rather odd size...
159
00:13:39,770 --> 00:13:43,206
it does seem to hold a great deal
more significance for you than for me.
160
00:13:43,307 --> 00:13:45,537
As I remember, those are
the dimensions of a panel...
161
00:13:45,642 --> 00:13:48,042
- that was stolen from the Bordeaux triptych.
- You didn't?
162

- Oh, of course not.
- Oh, thank God!

- Oh, to the right buyer, millions.

Just to look at these.
326
00:26:50,860 --> 00:26:54,023
To see those colors,
those brush strokes...
327
00:26:54,130 --> 00:26:57,031
those unmistakable signs of genius.
328
00:26:57,133 --> 00:27:01,661
Believe me, if it weren't a matter of
life and death, I'd never ask you this.
329
00:27:02,739 --> 00:27:04,639
Do you think
you can reproduce them?
330
00:27:04,741 --> 00:27:07,801
- You want me to reproduce these?
- Yes.
331
00:27:07,910 --> 00:27:13,780
I don't know why. These are three
of the finest forgeries I've ever seen.
332
00:27:13,883 --> 00:27:17,080
Forgeries?
333

# [ Classical ]
334
00:27:21,390 --> 00:27:27,226
You see, I paint what I feel
and I feel what I paint.
335
00:27:27,330 --> 00:27:29,855
- [ Woman ] This is wonderful.
- I like this. I like this.
336
00:27:29,966 --> 00:27:32,298
[ Chattering ]
337
00:27:41,444 --> 00:27:43,935
I don't see my Pitkin on display.
338
00:27:44,046 --> 00:27:49,074
- [ Chuckles ]
You don't think I'd display your Pitkin. - Or mine?
339
00:27:49,185 --> 00:27:53,781
There are Pitkins for the peasants
and Pitkins for the connoisseurs.
340
00:27:53,890 --> 00:27:58,486
After tomorrow's auction, your Pitkins
will all be safely in your hands.
341
00:28:00,596 --> 00:28:04,555
That's so reassuring, Clifford.
342
00:28:04,667 --> 00:28:09,866
It would distress me no end to see
a repeat of what happened in Venice.
343
00:28:09,972 --> 00:28:13,908
Oh, that poor young man died so badly.
344
00:28:14,010 --> 00:28:16,638
I could barely finish dinner.
345
00:28:16,746 --> 00:28:20,045
Your concern for my well-being
touches me, Monica.
346
00:28:20,149 --> 00:28:23,346
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I really should mingle.
347
00:28:31,594 --> 00:28:34,290
I don't recall extending
an invitation to you, Mr. Steele...
348
00:28:34,397 --> 00:28:38,026
but then you have a bothersome habit
of intruding where you're not wanted.
349
00:28:38,134 --> 00:28:40,227
How else would I discover
the finer things in life?
350
00:28:42,004 --> 00:28:44,996
May I present Richard Walker,
a very great friend of Molly Donovan's.
351
00:28:45,107 --> 00:28:47,871
I'm afraid there's
nothing here for you.
352
00:28:47,977 --> 00:28:50,741
Then it's fortunate
I brought my own exhibit.
353
00:29:04,193 --> 00:29:09,825
I had no idea you were such a resourceful...
collector, Mr. Steele.
354
00:29:09,932 --> 00:29:11,832
These are worth a king's ransom.
355
00:29:11,934 --> 00:29:13,902
We'll settle for Molly Donovan.
356
00:29:14,003 --> 00:29:18,531
Frankly, that's a trade I'd be more than willing
to make, if I knew where Miss Donovan was.
357
00:29:18,641 --> 00:29:22,168
- You're lying. You know you're lying!
- Easy, Richie, easy, easy.
358
00:29:22,278 --> 00:29:23,713
You're in far too refined a company.
359
00:29:23,713 --> 00:29:24,839
You're in far too refined a company.
360
00:29:24,947 --> 00:29:27,415
I'll find a security guard
to help you on your way.
361
00:29:29,552 --> 00:29:32,350
Well, he's cool,
I'll give him that.
362
00:29:32,455 --> 00:29:36,255
What say we build
a little fire under him, eh?
363
00:29:36,359 --> 00:29:41,797
I wonder how Mr. Conant would react
if, having stolen his Old Masters...
364
00:29:43,833 --> 00:29:46,199
we also stole his buyers?
365
00:29:48,571 --> 00:29:50,471
You know something?
The more I'm with you and Miss Holt...
366
00:29:50,573 --> 00:29:53,440
the more I hate being a coward.
367
00:29:53,542 --> 00:29:56,841
Well, we have to do something to
pressure him into releasing Molly.
368
00:29:56,946 --> 00:29:59,437
Come along, Richie.
Let's work the room.
369
00:30:03,786 --> 00:30:06,550
- Mr. Schneiderman?
- Yes?
370
00:30:06,656 --> 00:30:09,557
I thought you looked familiar whenI bumped into you the other day.
371
00:30:09,659 --> 00:30:14,619
Felix Schneiderman.
He buys for European collectors.
372
00:30:14,730 --> 00:30:17,028
Also writes books on the Renaissance.
373
00:30:17,133 --> 00:30:20,432
Renaissance paintings,
Renaissance sculptures. Thank you.
374
00:30:20,536 --> 00:30:23,972
Renaissance poisons.
375
00:30:24,073 --> 00:30:29,272
Quite a tasty volume.
And this gentleman is, uh, Koji Asuda.
376
00:30:29,378 --> 00:30:31,642
He works the Far East.
377
00:30:31,747 --> 00:30:35,183
No one's ever been quite sure
how he gets what he's after.
378
00:30:35,284 --> 00:30:38,981
- But I never come back empty-handed.
- Mm.
379
00:30:39,088 --> 00:30:42,524
And last, but not least,
Monica Haddon.
380
00:30:42,625 --> 00:30:48,029
She represents certain
English eccentric collectors.
381
00:30:48,130 --> 00:30:52,590
She once told someone that murder
is the only truly erotic experience.
382
00:30:52,702 --> 00:30:55,296
- Have we met?
- Not officially.
383
00:30:55,404 --> 00:30:58,168
But we were in Venice
at the same time.
384
00:30:58,274 --> 00:31:02,506
The young man with the Rubens
was on his way to see me when he, uh...
385
00:31:02,611 --> 00:31:05,045
lost his footing
and disappeared in a canal?
386
00:31:05,147 --> 00:31:08,048
We were just discussing that tragedy.
387
00:31:08,150 --> 00:31:10,675
Yes, I'm sure it still haunts
all of us today even.
388
00:31:10,786 --> 00:31:14,722
What brings you to this exhibition, Mr., uh-
389
00:31:14,824 --> 00:31:18,521
I should imagine the same thing
that brought all of you here.
390
00:31:18,627 --> 00:31:23,860
An insatiable craving for... Pitkins.
391
00:31:23,966 --> 00:31:26,491
We have all the Pitkins we need.
392
00:31:28,104 --> 00:31:30,334
These are from Mr. Conant's
private collection.
393
00:31:40,182 --> 00:31:43,982
They do leave one rather speechless,
don't they, hmm? Thank you.
394
00:31:44,086 --> 00:31:48,216
We already paid Mr. Conant
a substantial deposit for these.
395
00:31:48,324 --> 00:31:51,657
And, uh, our employers
don't relish the idea...
396
00:31:51,761 --> 00:31:56,391
of paying for the same merchandise twice.
397
00:31:56,499 --> 00:31:59,332
Miss Holt. This is Laura Holt
of Art Insight magazine.
398
00:31:59,435 --> 00:32:01,767
Oh! Loved your article
on the Ashcan School.
399
00:32:01,871 --> 00:32:05,466
Oh, well, I may be researching there
any minute. If you'll excuse me.
400
00:32:07,510 --> 00:32:11,105
I've always prided myself
on not being a greedy man.
401
00:32:11,213 --> 00:32:15,172
So why don't you simply pay me the rest
of what you were going to pay Conant, eh?

[ Mouths Words ]
403
00:32:20,356 --> 00:32:24,349
Then it's settled. Tonight?
My apartment? 8:00?
404
00:32:24,460 --> 00:32:27,952
Let's hope this turns out
better than Venice...
405
00:32:30,366 --> 00:32:32,596
for all concerned.
406
00:32:35,438 --> 00:32:37,406
Tell me you didn't
offer them the paintings.
407
00:32:37,506 --> 00:32:39,906
He was brilliant.
Had 'em eating out of the palm of his hand.
408
00:32:40,009 --> 00:32:43,137
- You offered them the paintings.
- They practically devoured them.
409
00:32:43,245 --> 00:32:46,180
That's not all they're going to devour.
410
00:32:46,282 --> 00:32:48,773
My foray into burgling?
411
00:32:48,884 --> 00:32:51,478
It netted us three forgeries.
412
00:32:51,587 --> 00:32:53,521
- Forgeries?
- Forgeries?
413
00:32:53,622 --> 00:32:55,783
Forgeries.
414
00:33:07,770 --> 00:33:10,898
- Conant has Molly.
- He has the original Old Masters.
415
00:33:11,006 --> 00:33:15,033
And he has us selling fakes to three people
who'd kill us to keep their reputations intact.
416
00:33:15,144 --> 00:33:17,408
How could he pass off fakes
to experts like Schneiderman?
417
00:33:17,513 --> 00:33:20,744
No doubt he was gonna show them
the originals, then ship the copies.
418
00:33:20,850 --> 00:33:24,445
And keep the originals in his own locked room?
That's a wrinkle on a wrinkle.
419
00:33:24,553 --> 00:33:29,183
I suppose when you deal long enough with the
kinky rich, you decide it's stylish to ape them.
420
00:33:29,291 --> 00:33:31,782
If we're gonna save Molly's skin,
not to mention our own...
421
00:33:31,894 --> 00:33:34,419
we have got to find out
where these originals are.
422
00:33:34,530 --> 00:33:37,397
Yes. Where do we look?
423
00:33:38,734 --> 00:33:41,828
The gallery!
We'll knock over the gallery again.
424
00:33:41,937 --> 00:33:46,431
- What's taking them so long?
- Oh, they're at their best at this point in the case.
425
00:33:46,542 --> 00:33:50,876
They're cool, logical, working out their
next move in a professional manner.

[ Laura ] Well,you haven't come upwith anything that makes sense.
429
00:33:59,421 --> 00:34:01,446
Very close.
I can tell.
430
00:34:01,557 --> 00:34:04,151
I don't want to dim your
newfound passion for thieving...
431
00:34:04,260 --> 00:34:06,956
but Conant is much too clever
to keep the originals in his gallery...
432
00:34:07,062 --> 00:34:09,030
after our previous visit!
433
00:34:10,266 --> 00:34:12,791
I wish I were back at the Trib.
434
00:34:12,902 --> 00:34:15,530
Sitting in my ugly, windowless,
little cubbyhole.
435
00:34:15,638 --> 00:34:18,163
Then Molly would be back at her desk.
436
00:34:18,274 --> 00:34:22,802
Wasn't such a bad life.
Dull, pointless, no future.
437
00:34:22,912 --> 00:34:25,312
But it was safe.
438
00:34:25,414 --> 00:34:28,542
I'd give anything if we were eating stale
sandwiches out of the vending machine...
439
00:34:28,651 --> 00:34:31,745
or putting anonymous complaints
in the suggestion box.
440
00:34:31,854 --> 00:34:35,187
But no.
I wanted adventure!

- We're all entitled to new horizons.
- You think so?
442
00:34:39,261 --> 00:34:44,494
Absolutely!
How do you think I wound up here?
443
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:47,763
I know it's tough to believe,
but I wasn't always a hard-bitten dick...
444
00:34:47,870 --> 00:34:51,431
ready to lay my life on the line
for a hundred a day plus expenses.
445
00:34:51,540 --> 00:34:55,169
Oh, no.
I seized the moment.
446
00:34:55,277 --> 00:34:58,576
I grabbed my destiny,
and I ran with it.
447
00:34:58,681 --> 00:35:00,581
That's what you ought to do, Richie.
448
00:35:00,683 --> 00:35:03,743
Yeah, well, I'll grab my destiny
right after we find Molly.
449
00:35:03,852 --> 00:35:07,253
They won't be long now.
You hear that silence?
450
00:35:08,290 --> 00:35:11,282
That means the boss has got it.
451
00:35:11,393 --> 00:35:14,419
Usually, at this juncture,
you remember an old movie...
452
00:35:14,530 --> 00:35:16,794
that puts everything into perspective.
453
00:35:16,899 --> 00:35:20,960
Sorry. I can't seem to come up with one
in this particular circumstance.
454
00:35:21,070 --> 00:35:23,664
Conant has three pictures worth millions.
455
00:35:23,772 --> 00:35:27,674
Where would he keep them safe, yet accessible,
where no one would think of looking?
456
00:35:27,776 --> 00:35:30,711
- Uh, his bank vault?
- His wine cellar?
457
00:35:30,813 --> 00:35:33,008
His gym locker?
458
00:35:33,115 --> 00:35:35,140
- Charade.
- The game or the movie?

00:35:35,251 --> 00:35:38,743
- Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn.
- Universal, 1 964.

Everybody's looking for
a fortune in stolen money...
461
00:35:41,056 --> 00:35:43,786
only the thief has converted it
into priceless stamps.
462
00:35:43,892 --> 00:35:45,951
And put them on a letter
he'd written to Audrey Hepburn.
463

That's where those paintings are.
They've been under my nose the whole time.
464
00:35:49,765 --> 00:35:52,598
Apparently, your nose has been in far
more interesting places than mine has.
465
00:35:52,701 --> 00:35:56,102
Now, where's the safest place
to lock something up?
466
00:35:56,205 --> 00:35:59,003
- A prison.
- A prison?

- Did you feel that?
487
00:37:18,687 --> 00:37:21,986
- What?
- Slight tremor. Must have been an earthquake.
488
00:37:24,193 --> 00:37:29,722
Come back to my studio. I, uh,
I wanna give you a private exhibition.
489
00:37:29,832 --> 00:37:35,270
You know, I always get so much more out
of hearing what an artist sees in her work.
490
00:37:35,371 --> 00:37:40,274
I mean... I mean,
anyone can look at a painting.
491
00:37:40,376 --> 00:37:42,344
- Heavy.
- [ Clanking ]
492
00:37:42,444 --> 00:37:44,469
- An aftershock.
- There is someone in my studio.
493
00:37:44,580 --> 00:37:46,480
- [ Chiming ]
- There's also someone at your door.
494
00:37:46,582 --> 00:37:50,018
Why don't you catch the door,
and I'll check the studio? Run along, dear.
495
00:37:55,557 --> 00:37:58,788
We've come for the Pitkins, Miss Pitkin.
496
00:37:58,894 --> 00:38:01,419
I've got two of them.
Check over there, quick!
497
00:38:01,530 --> 00:38:03,430
Oh, uh-
498
00:38:04,466 --> 00:38:06,366
[Joanne ]Miss Holt.!
499
00:38:06,468 --> 00:38:09,062
- There's-
- [ Yelling ]
500
00:38:10,539 --> 00:38:12,871
I found it!
501
00:38:12,975 --> 00:38:16,103
Mr. Canfield!
Miss Holt!
502
00:38:16,211 --> 00:38:18,076
Where are you going
with my paintings?
503
00:38:20,315 --> 00:38:25,116
I've made the big time.
I've been stolen!
504
00:38:39,501 --> 00:38:41,560
Wait a minute.
505
00:38:41,670 --> 00:38:44,138
[ Tires Screeching ]
506
00:39:02,424 --> 00:39:07,123
It saddens me to say this, Laura,
but you have gone berserk.
507
00:39:10,566 --> 00:39:15,401
I don't know what came over me.I'm sure it's just a temporary aberration.
508
00:39:15,504 --> 00:39:17,404
Like eating jelly beans or-
509
00:39:17,506 --> 00:39:20,839
[ Laughing ]buying Chinese cookbooks.
510
00:39:20,943 --> 00:39:24,310
[ Yells ]
I'm positive it'll pass!
511
00:39:24,413 --> 00:39:27,814
It certainly is a lot more
satisfying than jelly beans.
512
00:39:27,916 --> 00:39:30,043
Is this the way you used to feel?
513
00:39:30,152 --> 00:39:34,316
Skin tingling, heart pounding,
blood coursing, head spinning?
514
00:39:34,423 --> 00:39:36,323
Laura, please,
you're making me ill.
515
00:39:36,425 --> 00:39:39,690
But it's not an uncommon feeling when
one first starts, but then you get used to it.
516
00:39:39,795 --> 00:39:41,660
Oh! How sad!
517
00:39:41,763 --> 00:39:43,890
It's not all thrills and tingles,
Laura, you know.
518
00:39:43,999 --> 00:39:46,559
There's also the very real possibility
of getting caught.
519
00:39:46,668 --> 00:39:50,263
Well, at least there's
one positive aspect to all this.
520
00:39:50,372 --> 00:39:53,170
Now I can truly relate
to your former profession.
521
00:39:57,479 --> 00:40:01,210
- What are you doing?
- Now that they know we have the real paintings...
522
00:40:01,316 --> 00:40:03,546
we might as well
let them have them.
523
00:40:05,020 --> 00:40:10,083
Mr. Steele, you're one
hell of a partner in crime.
524
00:40:17,099 --> 00:40:19,329
- Whoops!
- Whoops!
525
00:40:21,603 --> 00:40:23,935
- You got them!
- But not for long.
526
00:40:24,039 --> 00:40:26,200
In with the old-
527
00:40:28,210 --> 00:40:30,371
Out with the new.
528
00:40:37,252 --> 00:40:39,413
Would I be a dolt if
I asked what's going on?
529
00:40:39,521 --> 00:40:44,652
Stay cool, Richie. We're about to enact our
version of one of Mr. Steele's favorite films-
530
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:48,252
- The Sting.
- [ Buzzer Buzzes ]
531
00:40:51,033 --> 00:40:55,868
- Who is it?
- I believe you have somethingwhich belongs to us, Miss Holt.
532
00:40:56,972 --> 00:40:59,702
And we intend to collect them.
533
00:40:59,808 --> 00:41:03,539
- The Pitkins?
- The Pitkins. Let him in.
534
00:41:07,049 --> 00:41:10,541
Well, at least we had them
for one brief moment.
535
00:41:39,481 --> 00:41:41,381
Authentic.
536
00:41:41,483 --> 00:41:43,417
Was there ever any doubt?
537
00:41:43,518 --> 00:41:47,818
Well, we'll just get them back into their
Pitkins and bring them to the auction tomorrow.
538
00:41:47,923 --> 00:41:52,292
- Auction?
- It's quite all right. I, uh, struck a deal with Conant.
539
00:41:52,394 --> 00:41:54,794
As I said, I'm not a greedy man.
540
00:41:54,896 --> 00:41:57,922
Besides, you want your Pitkins
authenticated, don't you?
541
00:41:58,033 --> 00:42:01,833
Of course.
To play out the charade.
542
00:42:01,937 --> 00:42:04,098
Aptly put, Mrs. Haddon.
543
00:42:13,248 --> 00:42:15,614
We've brought you to the gallery
for a reason, my dear.
544
00:42:17,653 --> 00:42:20,588
You're going to make a phone call.
545
00:42:20,689 --> 00:42:22,850
The most important call of your life.
546
00:42:48,917 --> 00:42:51,977
As soon as they've bought their Pitkins,
we'll hit Conant with the sad news...
547
00:42:52,087 --> 00:42:54,282
that he's sold them all fakes.
548
00:42:54,389 --> 00:42:57,847
Either he coughs up Molly or we inform
the treacherous trio of his deception.
549
00:42:57,959 --> 00:43:00,223
I think we're finally
on top of this one.
550
00:43:00,328 --> 00:43:03,627
Yes, all we have to do now is collect
our finder's fee. [ Chuckles ]
551
00:43:03,732 --> 00:43:07,190
Shall we, uh, get comfortable
and wait for the fireworks?
552
00:43:08,804 --> 00:43:11,170
I think they've started
sooner than we expected.
553
00:43:15,310 --> 00:43:17,210
What are you doing here?
554
00:43:17,312 --> 00:43:19,473
I've settled everything.
I've freed Molly.
555
00:43:19,581 --> 00:43:22,049
You freed her?
How, Richie?
556
00:43:22,150 --> 00:43:26,951
- I gave Conant the Pitkins.
- My bedroom Pitkins?
557
00:43:27,055 --> 00:43:29,751
The genuine Old Masters?
558
00:43:29,858 --> 00:43:32,520
Harriet, that was not helpful.
559
00:43:39,101 --> 00:43:41,194
Everything is under control.
560
00:43:41,303 --> 00:43:45,034
Molly called last night.
Then Conant got on and offered to let her go.
561
00:43:45,140 --> 00:43:47,574
So, I just took Miss Krebs's
advice and seized the moment.
562
00:43:47,676 --> 00:43:51,772
We've got to speak to Miss Krebs
about her little pep talks.
563
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:53,780
Listen, I've learned
a lot being with you two.
564
00:43:53,882 --> 00:43:57,249
I made him show me Molly on the security
monitors before I handed over the paintings.
565
00:43:57,352 --> 00:44:00,321
- She's here? In the building?
- Of course. What do you take me for?
566
00:44:00,422 --> 00:44:05,325
- Where?
- I don't know. A room, uh, full of paintings and statues.
567
00:44:05,427 --> 00:44:08,294
You didn't happen to notice
a life-size sculpture without a head, did you?
568
00:44:08,396 --> 00:44:10,887
Yes. I thought that was very unique.
569
00:44:10,999 --> 00:44:15,561
- I really do think we should say our farewells first.
- Yes, you're right.
570
00:44:17,305 --> 00:44:20,172
If you'll excuse us,
uh, we'll take our leave.
571
00:44:20,275 --> 00:44:22,709
Aren't you going to stay for the auction?
572
00:44:22,811 --> 00:44:24,779
You've contributed so much to it.
573
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:27,610
Well, we really have nothing left to offer.
574
00:44:27,716 --> 00:44:30,241
No, Miss Holt, you don't.
575
00:44:30,352 --> 00:44:34,015
It's been a deceptively delightful experience.
Uh, come along.
576
00:44:38,927 --> 00:44:41,760
- You get Molly. I'll get the Pitkins.
- All right.
577
00:44:55,110 --> 00:44:58,079
It's all right.We're with Richie.
578
00:44:59,247 --> 00:45:01,841
It's all right now.
579
00:45:01,950 --> 00:45:04,180
How do you know they're here?
580
00:45:05,387 --> 00:45:08,879
I don't. But one
has to start somewhere.
581
00:45:14,963 --> 00:45:16,931
Actually, this is
a very ingenious hiding place.
582
00:45:17,032 --> 00:45:20,866
I mean, who'd think of looking
here a second time, eh? Eh?
583
00:45:25,841 --> 00:45:28,503
You all right?
Let's go. Let's go.
584
00:45:29,878 --> 00:45:31,846
The Pitkins!
585
00:45:35,784 --> 00:45:38,344
- Laura.!
- [ Both ] I got the-
586
00:45:38,453 --> 00:45:40,853
- Molly!
- Rick!
587

Richie. From now on,
it's just plain Richie.
588
00:45:43,792 --> 00:45:47,853
Your persistence is becoming
enervating, Mr. Steele.
589
00:45:56,171 --> 00:45:58,230
Not with that!
590
00:46:17,893 --> 00:46:20,293
Are the Pitkins all right?
591
00:46:20,395 --> 00:46:22,295
Ha ha! Unscathed.
592
00:46:22,397 --> 00:46:25,457
Now, if we could only tell which have
the real paintings and which have the fakes.
593
00:46:25,567 --> 00:46:28,593
- Uh, lets take all of them.
- No.!
594
00:46:28,703 --> 00:46:33,037
I have three very determined people who are
waiting for me to deliver them their Pitkins.
595
00:46:33,141 --> 00:46:37,305
Laura, I lost my finder's fee in Acapulco.
I don't want to repeat the same folly here.
596
00:46:37,412 --> 00:46:40,745
Don't you understand? They'll kill me
if I don't give them, uh, something.
597
00:46:40,849 --> 00:46:44,080
- Then pick a set!
- They all look alike.
598
00:46:44,185 --> 00:46:48,884
- You're the art expert.
- We each have a 50% chance of getting what we want.
599
00:46:53,528 --> 00:46:55,894
[ Laura ]
Oh!
600
00:47:07,409 --> 00:47:09,536
Well?
601
00:47:09,644 --> 00:47:12,738
A masterpiece,
every one of them.
602
00:47:12,847 --> 00:47:18,285
- And we have-
- The kind of forgeries that only a true artist could paint.
603
00:47:18,386 --> 00:47:20,820
That means the treacherous trio
have the real ones.
604
00:47:20,922 --> 00:47:25,120
- And some customs inspector has them now.
- Thanks to our tip.
605
00:47:25,226 --> 00:47:29,322
Good work, chief.
You really put one over on that Conant.
606
00:47:29,431 --> 00:47:32,161
Yes, Mildred.
The joke's certainly on him.
607
00:47:32,267 --> 00:47:34,963
I'll bet we get
a commendation for this.
608
00:47:35,070 --> 00:47:37,800
That's not exactly the reward
I had in mind, Mildred.
609
00:47:37,906 --> 00:47:40,431
Oh, Mr. Steele.
610
00:47:40,542 --> 00:47:45,377
Now what's a six-figure finder's fee
compared with the knowledge...
611
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:49,814
that you've helped put
four dangerous criminals behind bars?
612
00:47:49,918 --> 00:47:53,012
If you care so little
for money, Miss Holt...
613
00:47:53,121 --> 00:47:56,955
why, may I ask, are you
filching my wallet?
