No.

Then why the pickup? You the boss here?

Yeah. Joe White Eagle.

I don't like being pushed around.

You haul in everybody to pass it through his lousy tounge? (?)

I'm a very good likeness is it.

And I was a marine myself.

This reminds me of you only they say this one's a lot tougher. (?)

Way a pinch, lieutenant?

Great branch the marines.

Oh, you're not pinched James. I thought you could help us.

You have a funny way of asking for help.

Mind to answering a few questions? - Let's get it over with, I'm in a hurry.

Where were you at 3:00 this morning? - In Vegas with a friend.

We found your friend.

Why did you kill her? - Huh.

Hey I didn't kill her, I didn't even know.

Bartender and 15 witnesses say you did.

So I walk into bar and sit the stool next to her.

You picked her up your drank with her.

You made a pash she got mad. - I didn't make a pash, she was loaded.

I shut her up. - You shut her up all right,

with a stripe around her throat.

You're not gonna put a murder rap on me.

I didn't kill her and I can prove it. - How?

I already told you.

I was in Vegas last night with a friend.

Who? - Paul Barth�lemy captain, we had a date in town.

Why? - She's a buddy, that's why.

We were together from midnight till 6:00 this morning.

Where? - The Sunset hotel.

Why don't you check it.

Ben.

I got a problem. He was helping me with.

You've got a problem, all right.

45, service automatic, government property...

loaded. - It's a souvenir.

So, all right I'll pay the fine.

So the shirts got bloodstains on it. I fell on the bushes getting off the truck.

One khaki service shirt,

fifth and six buttons missing. - Lieutenant, Sunset hotel.

Yes. Oh yes. Bartlett. - Paul C.

Paul C. Bartlett. Captain.

US army captain.

Yes... yes, thank you.

Satisfied?

Both sleeves torn... blood on left sleeve...

What about the call?

You should have burned the shirt.

What about captain Bartlett?- There's nobody by that name registered last night.

Well of course, why didn't I think of it.

He's not using his own name. He's on some security thing, classified.

What name was he using?

I don't know.

Where can we reach? - I can't reach him right now.

I'm gonna meet him before 9:00 in the morning.

Why don't you stop lying.

You didn't know the girl, a lie, you didn't fight with her, a lie.

You tore your shirt on the bushes a lie.

You spent the night with a buddy a lie.

It's the truth, I did. - And why did we find this

bracelet in her bedroom under her body?

Yeah, it's yours.

Coffin. - Now just a minute.

Put the hands against the wall.

You to.

Get those feet out.

First guy that moves gets a gun full of let.

No dead heroes, Ben.

Hold it Ben, not yet.

All right!

Of all a fool look. - Do you think we could have found the trouble by now?

Maybe I should just a cobbler. - Good, do it.

I don't know which one of these gadgets it is.

Susan, we've got to get this car started.

I'm sorry Mrs. Cummings, but I don't know anything about these things.

Maybe we ship them a ride back to LA State.

I told you before we're not going back to Las Vegas. We hadn't the time.

Tyger! Tyger, stop it.

Tyger?

Turn on the charm, make him help us.

Don't try to get away, or I'll shoot.

You know anything about loaders, we've been here for hours.

What's the matter? - Nothing.

Stick Greece. - I knew it looks good.

I'm gonna take it off anyway.

How about it take a look at the engine?

Say, did you people see a police car go by here fast? - No officer, we haven't.

How long have you been here? - About two hours.

We'd still be stuck here if there's... - Somebody step on the starter.

Well, we thought you might be moving. - Okay, thanks.

They better get a leash on that dog.

Shall I start the car now? - Just a second.

The offices right mr. Cummings. We should have Tyger on the leash. Do you have it?

Well no, I thought you did.

Okay, now start it up.

Susan I'm sure he's gonna ask us for a ride.

I hope. - Don't think it's a good idea.

That should do it.

Where you want me? Front or back? - You've been very kind, but we...

What is proud you too much?

And we're very grateful to what you've done but you see we...

Tyger!

Tyger! Tyger!

Let me take care of them.

We're on our way to Apple Valley to take pictures of the hotel.

Oh. You're a professional photographer?

No, no, not me, mrs. Cummings. I'm just her model.

I mean, like in Vogue and Hoppers? - All the tops Lex.

It wouldn't have happened if Tigar would been on his leash.

I can't imagine what happened to him. - Don't talk about it, it's too late now.

But, I keep thinking maybe I lost it somewhere.

Was I the last one... no... now

You took him walking. - I don't want to hear any more about it.

I asked you to stop it, so stop it. I'm sorry Susan.

That's all we find on it.

That's all we need.

Dog tags, ribbon, feed, more clouds. - You'll arrest the big. (?)

Ben, get the snap out on the wires

and make sure it gets out to the paper. - All right.

Do you think he made the state line?

He didn't get these for stubbing his toe.

Better call the border stations anyway. - Right.

Unit 14 F3 to control one.

I'll break it up then we've got everything we need. - Check.

Go ahead, 14 F3.

White Eagle. I got the serial number on James Henry.

8-9-1-4-6-3. - 8-9-1-4-6-3.

Right. Put it out on a teletype to the Navy Department.

I'll buy this car back to town.

You better call your wife when you get home. - What's up?

Trip to California.

Teletype Barstow tell them we're on a hot pursuit, might need their help.

Why don't we stop somewhere and get a bite to eat.

We didn't even get any breakfast we left so early.

Sit anywhere folks.

Service is quicker at the counter. - We'll sit there.

So hungry I could eat a horse.

So am I.

She must be pretty upset about the dog.

Belly part of it, she lost your husband last year.

Circumstances were rather shocking. - What'll it be folks?

Hi boys. - Hallo, Sally.

Hey, why the work clothes I thought you were both off.

We're all four rockers to be out to eat like this, right Harry? (?)

You know they caught us in from a fishing trip up at me. - Ha, ha.

Just to keep tabs on you baby.

Ha, ha, if you be a couple of smart cups, you can do that.

Sign yet? - Hamburgers, three. - Maybe I don't want to have it.

Hey fella. You don't want a hamburger neither.

Way not? - Heartburn.

What do you mean heartburn?

Might 100 hamburgers two years ago. Never been the same since.

He wouldn't know a good burger but bit him.

It's not he's just peed because I called him back to work.

Well, would you be out chasing some character just hundred and twenty degrees heat?

Surge you're right. (?)

I wish I know who it was I'd warn him.

This boy don't warn Sally. All he can understand is a gun.

May we have the hamburgers, please? - Okay. Three hamburgers on another planet. (?)

Mrs. Cummings, your hamburger.

Worried about. - Maybe we better go.

I'm starved.

Could you wrap those hamburgers miss? We need them on the road.

Okay, mister.

What are you guys gonna have?

I make a burger's, hurried up with you we gotta check with the watch commander.

So just why did they call you guys back from leave.

They got a one out. Some guy murdered the dame up in Vegas and escaped.

Heading this way?

No. The only sure way he's headed is to the morgue.

Don't let that be a lesson to you. - You're gonna teach me a lesson?

Just don't be picking up any hitchhikers on your day off, you understand?

And what this dame didn't got a strap around her neck.

Maybe I'd better go and see if Mrs. Cummings is alright.

How do you feeling? - Oh I'm all right.

Sorry I'd have been such a nuisance. - I want to talk to you alone.

Anything wrong? - The police are looking for someone from Las Vegas.

They are? - Someone strangled a woman.

With a strap.

They said it was a hitchhiker.

Jim's a hitchhiker. Why don't we leave him here?

What about his bag? - I'll take it to him.

Keep the change. - Hey, fella!

I want to talk to you for a minute.

What about? - Harry and I've been playing at Colonel white stores not to scare the ladies.

This is pretty serious.

I wouldn't think I've been a hit checker said whatever you spacely fits a marine.

I'll watch it. - And driving long? - Chicago.

Chicago. Hey Harry. He's from Chicago.

You should have brought Sally some that good Eastern beef.

I don't know what to tell. - For heavens sake Susan,

he'll be out in a minute, this is no time to get sentimental.

It's not that. I just... - He'll find it here. Put it down.

Get in a car. Quick.

Looking for this?

CALIFORNIA STATE QUARANTINE INSPECTION STATION

I've told you this was my sister's car.

Open the back end. - Look all you gotta do is call.

We will. - Open the back end will you, please?

Great.

Any fruits plants or seeds? - No.

Would you mind putting that on the rack and open the trunk for me?

Your car? - Huh, Mrs. Cummings.

We'll have to check the certificate of ownership ma'am.

Would you mind taking it in the office? - Of course not officer.

I've never had to show the certificate of ownership before.

It's the strat killer, Mrs. Cummings. - I'd almost forgot.

What's all this marine stuff doing in here?

I'll take it from here. - Right.

What are you doing with a Marine uniform?

I am a Marine. The general gets awful mad when I don't wear.

What are you doing in civvies then? - When I'm off-duty he don't mind.

Where'd you spend last night? - What is this manga, quiz program?

Answer the question. - In Vegas with a lady friend,

and I got an empty wallet to prove it.

Your lady friend alive when you left her? - She wasn't even alive when I was with it.

Hey Steve! Vegas police on the phone.

Better come along. - Now, wait a minute Mac.

I'm due back at Pendleton the generals gonna be awful sore if I don't show up.

Come on.

This is okay. Step away.

Yeah. I'll be right you.

Yeah, we're checking on the marine now. - Tell him I got to get back to town.

What he looks like?

They find a car? - What they say?

I'll talk to you in a minute. May is see your driver's license, please?

Yeah, what's that again, about the pictures.

Yeah. Yeah, get them down to as fast as you can.

The description we got could fit a million guys.

I'll let you know, all right.

I still can't find it. I know it's somewhere in my purse.

I was only one thing to do.

When you're traveling it seems everything winds up in your purse.

Yes, ma'am. - I wasn't expecting this.

I've never shown my car certificate before.

Is these something new? - No, ma'am, Vegas police is looking for someone.

Thought they might try to cross the state line.

See how they could with all you officers are.

On it's been done. We're human we make mistakes.

Here we are.

You're Mrs. H. G. Comings? - Yes. - Who the other occupants of your car?

Miss Susan Willis, she works for me.

And the gentleman? - James Johnson. - Does he work for you too?

Look Mac! I'm in a hurry. - Who isn't?

I gotta get back to camp ending... - Take it easy.

Nobody crosses the state line until we're satisfied with their identification.

That'll be all Mrs. Cummings. Thank you very much. - Thank you.

Look Mac, what about me?

Yeah. Yeah, what's that?

Yeah. Yeah. Look, I'll call you right back.

Hold that car!

You could get in a lot of trouble without this,

at your California visitors per minute.

If you stay in the state over 30 days, you have to buy California plates.

In all this confusion, I forgot about. Sorry. - Forget it.

Just got a call from Vegas on that want. He might have gotten this far.

Well, if he has been carrying contaminated food

that's your problem not mine. - I don't know.

Ever get contaminated about 45.

You remember when you came out of the lunchroom

you found your your bag outside the car?

Yes. - You know what was then? - No.

We tought you are a strap killer and we were trying to get away.

What made you change your mind?

Well, you couldn't be guilty and possibly get past all those officers, could you?

I'm sorry.

You play tennis? - Tennis?

Yes, it's tennis court the swimming pool of the hotel.

I tought maybe you like to join us.

Thanks, but I've got a very important date tomorrow.

Sounds like a matter of life and death.

You still mad?

No, I'm not. - Yes, you are.

I'm still got to try to change your mind we'll get to the Inn.

Is a man driving?

Looks like a man and two women to me.

Thanks for the litmus coming. - That's quite all right.

Sorry I couldn't convince you.

Are you sure you won't stay?

Well, maybe for an hour or so.

Maybe ice cream up a few more convinces

and change that hour is so Tuesday as though.

I'm afraid not. But thanks anyway.

Well ate forever. - Oh, Susan. - I'll be there in a minute.

I see you later.

Two more to set up beach bag convicted bill a few minutes.

Who is on the truck? - Harri deliver the papers, I know him. What is in press?

I guess I left the end before I go and check that man out to women.

A paper to Mrs. Cummings. Cottage number 23.

Now, hurry, hurry.

Hey, let me help you.

"STRAP KILLER" AT LARGE HAVE YOU SEEN THIS MAN?

A for effort.

Did you say something Susan?

Ankles trim, legs, hmm...

waist 20 plus 34. What does the girl have?

What are you muttering about?

I'm just taking inventory. - Inventory of what?

Inventory of what... Susan you're as white as a sheet. What's the matter?

You hadn't read the whole story.

The one that was murdered was Terry Smith. The same Terry Smith.

The same little tramp that Harold killed himself over.

You've got to call the police.

Susan you're not listening. But don't you know what that would mean?

They find out about my husband and Terry.

After all I went through to keep it quiet.

The whole filthy mess would come out in the open

just because of that little tramp.

Whoever killed that creature deserves a medal.

But if we don't call the police, he might murder someone else.

Had you thought about me Sue's?

I was in Las Vegas last night.

I had every reason to wish that woman dead.

This the whole thing comes out.

I... I just couldn't stand it. I couldn't face that I couldn't.

They might even try to connect me with the killing.

But they couldn't possibly believe a thing like that in you.

There's no telling what people will think when things like this come out.

This doesn't have to come out.

I'm the only one beside yourself who knows about Mr. Cummings and Terry.

You're right Susan.

I'm the only one who could connect you with her now.

Yes you are, ain't you? - And I promised you that I won't mention it to anyone.

You won't? - Of course not.

I know you didn't kill Terry, and the rest of it is none of their business.

All right Susan.

We'll call police. - Hang up that phone!

I'm sorry I have to get you in deeper.

The police have set up a roadblock.

I'd stay here for a while. - Please, go away.

I'll leave as soon as I can.

Just a minute.

We shouldn't have done that.

Whoever it is get rid of him.

Mrs. Cummings, guess what?

I just received this wire from Trick magazine.

They'll take our picture layout if we give to them by next week.

You do think you can make it in time don't you? - Sure. - Oh, good, good.

Now, all we got... oh I don't think we've met. - Jim Johnson,

Mrs. Cummings assistant. - How do you do Jim?

Now, everything is all set up out of the pool.

Isn't it wonderful about trip magazine?

Could we start right away? - We're ready.

No we're not. We have several things to check mrs. Cummings.

What things Jim? - We got some homeless to fill mrs. Cummings.

I filled them all before you came.

Did you check the flash guns too mrs. Cummings?

Of course she did, I helped it.

To better check him again.

Guns are funny. Sometimes they go off.

Now would you mind helping us with some of this equipment

Oh, well, sure, sure. - Be glad to dad.

I'll see you at the Pope. - Yeah, uh, yeah.

Strapped killer, huh. Well, he certainly looks like a criminal.

I can spot him like that.

You know, you sure got beautiful equipment.

Mr. Carson.

Oh, you forgat the telegram.

Oh, yeah, thanks thanks. I'll see you outside the pool.

Don't ever try anything like that again.

You've trapped yourself haven't you?

I don't know.

You can't stay here, and I on you don't dare go to the pool. What are you going to do?

I'm gonna take a chance and shoot pictures.

I hope that's all I shoot.

Mr. Carson? - Yes?

Sergeant Barnett, Las Vegas poice

Working the California police special keys.

Whar can I do for you sergeant?

That's a free Ford convertible girl been here while ago two women man driving.

Oh, yes that was mrs. Cummings, our photographer

and a couple of people have worked with her.

Do you guarantee for them? - Certainly.

Ever seen him before?

Let's see.

Of course, now I remember.

He's the strap killer. - You've seen him?

Yes. - Where?

In the afternoon paper, he's pictures on the front page.

I have mad time to read it

Hey, wait a minute. You don't think you'll find him around here, do you?

I don't know. I'm not familiar with the habits for a strap killer.

Well, if we can do to help we'll be too happy to cooperate.

I like to check your hotel register on the way out, then I'll be on my way.

Oh, by all means, come along now.

O-ho, here comes a photographer.

We got to take some very important pictures.

I wonder if you would mind boy at the office will help you out?

Sure thing. Thanks a lot mr. Carson. - Sure.

I hope you don't think I'm trying to tell you your business mrs. Cummings

but for our efforts I do think that the first shot from be from right around here.

Now, you come over here honey, well here the diving board.

I've got a swell spot for you, get right out here and sit down

Oh, I completely forgot.

The life preserver. I had a repainted especially for you.

Publicity you know it's in the office.

Oh, say, this is just wonderful, wonderful.

This might even make the front cover.

If you don't mind may I I'm a camera bug too, you know?

Of course, I haven't got the kind of equipment that you have.

Would you like to use one of my cameras mr. Carson?

You know I was trying to hope you'd ask me that?

Jim, get a 4x5 mm motor out of the casing mr. Carson.

don't know 4x5 here.

All right, Mr. Carson can use this one.

Just a minute.

Just want to make sure you have the right film.

Certainly. Wonderful to work with professionals.

Ah, now, now let's see, now, don't tell me, don't tell me.

Don't forget to pull slide mr. Carson.

hold yes I know, I know, I know, I know, I know you have to pull the slide to get the picture.

JIM STRAP-KILLER

What's the matter mr. Carson?

I don't think I can hold this pose much longer.

Would you hurry it up we got a lot to do.

Did you pull the slide mr. Carson?

You forgot the life preserver.

You know, the one you had specially painted.

With the name of the hotel on it in your office.

Office, yeah. Oh, yes office. Huh that just reminds me I've got to go to the office.

He shut in my tires.

What are you going to do?

Put some water in the radiator. - We only have a little water left.

Don't let the motor die. - If you use that water, what about us?

Right now the car's more immportant.

Soon we've got to do something. - We can't do anything.

Keep your foot on the accelerator.

Don't let the motor die.

Uses the water we might die out here, don't you understand?

We can't do right now. - (?)

Don't you understand, all you have to do is pull it down and step on the gas.

But, he is standing... (?) - Yes, yes!

Before I move. Running back? - Yes.

That's a murder. - What do you hink he's going to do to us? Hurry.

(?)

It's cooling off.

He hasn't passed roadblock 4. - Hasn't come back this way.

So... he must have left the road somewhere between this point and roadblock 4.

And the space of 5 miles he's vanished into thin air.

Into the desert.

Drove off one of those washes. Behind a check tonight.

We can wait. If we don't get him, the desert will.

We're stuck. I need some help.

I said, I need some help. Get out.

Please mrs. Cummings. Aren't you proud of yourself?

Nothing will happen to her, come on.

Guess we'd better will love the blind of a fat dress. (?)

Okay, let's go!

Keep in moving.

Hanny, stop!

Hanny!

Hanny, stop!

Isn't still a human being and you just haven't right.

What are you thinking? That I don't care about a human life?

Why'd you say that? - Please mrs. Cummings, you're upset.

You're another than, aren't you? - No.

I... I don't know. I'm confused.

Maybe he didn't kill Terry.

You read the papers. - Papers can sometimes be wrong.

He was there. - So as we.

I was there that's what you're really thinking isn't it.

But I had a motive.

If we ever get away from here I'll tell the police to help save them

that's what you're thinking, isn't? - I don't know what to think.

I'm sorry Susan.

We've been through a lot on I am upset.

I can't think. Maybe I need rest. (?) - Why don't you go to the car.

I am sorry Susan.

I'll be there in a minute.

Mrs. Cummings! Mrs. Cummings!

Why did you let her take the car?

I could wring her neck.

Why did not have straps?

I don't blame her for doing what she did.

The poor woman's hysterical you treated me the way you did.

She doesn't know what she's doing.

I have you since I had gone with it. - Why didn't you?

Because I happen to be trying to help you.

I guess I'm supposed to say I'm sorry.

Sorry for what? For being a kidnapper, a murderer?

For bringing us out here in the desert to die?

What are you gonna do? - We gotta get that car. Come on.

Mrs. Cumings! Mrs. Cumings!

Mrs. Cumings!

Mrs. Cumings!

What if Mrs. Cumings!? - What about her?

You gotta find her, she can't be very far.

Look it's getting darker. We better get this car fixed and get out of here.

Believe it?

I thought you said anybody this far out in the desert alone would die.

She knew that before she took the car.

You better leave the both of us here cuz I'm gonna find her.

There's only one way we can find her.

She will able to see this from wherever she is.

Can't do any more.

It's warmer up here.

Yeah. Aha.

Give me that location again, will you?

W9, error, I got it.

Yeah rice. (?) I'll let you know. Thanks.

Something hot? - Yeah, fire right out in the middle of the desert.

Fire? You'd be crazy light a fire out there.

It's like signaling.

Send a helicopter out there, will you Ben?

I didn't kill her, Susan.

I didn't even know her.

All I did was buy her a drink. One drink.

And for 65 cents I bought a martini mixed with dynamite.

The cops dragged me in... and all the questions and answers.

You can usually figure two and two make four, but their arithmetic scared me.

That dynamite went offline got panicky.

I had the same feeling once before.

I was in a foxhole.

The whole world seemed to explode.

Had to get out.

I got a medal for fighting my way out of that one.

I can fight my way out of this one to.

I didn't kill her, and I can prove it.

I spent the night in Vegas for the friend.

Paul Bartlett army engineer

And the wonders with a slide rule.

You see I own a home.

Pretty nice place, overlooks the Salton sea from any room in the house.

The only trouble is it setting in four feet of water.

Mom used to say we owned a five room house seven when the tides out.

Paul thinks he might be able to save it.

Something about lifting the foundation panel, I don't know.

I'm supposed to meet them at the house... in the morning.

He's on some kind of secret duty.

Can't even use his own name.

That's why the police couldn't check me out in Vegas.

If I miss him... I've been a lot of trouble before I can prove anything.

You know when a mortar shell hits a target.

You don't have to look twice to know it.

I quess I'm falling the most the same thing.

You don't have to look twice.

Guess I better get the car fixed.

Have it running in a few minutes.

Mrs. Cumings. - Susan I'm so terribly sorry

for what I did running away and leaving you.

You don't seem particularly glad to see me Susan?

It's not that. I'm just a little bit surprised, that's all.

Is he here? - Yes, he sticks in the car.

So worried... you alone with... murderer.

Nothing's happened to me. - I'll never forgive myself.

It's been horrible out here alone thinking of what I'd done to you.

I hope you understand I... I never would have left you, it's only though...

Well, Jim had the car ready.

When I saw the fire, I didn't know whether to come back or not.

After what I did to Jim, I know what he might do to me.

If Jim made violence Mrs. Cummings.

Yeah. Yeah.

Sure thing. Copter pilot.

It is, huh?

No, no, no thanks, that won't benecessary.

Okay. - Did he land?

Yeah, fire still burning, nobody's there.

Tire tracks hint car heading west.

Who knows. Tire tracks heading west huh.

Spot that fire again.

w9. - And where did he leave the highway?

Right here. - I'll extend the line west through those two points.

Where do you come out?

Salton sea. What are you getting it?

Probably a Navy Department report on sergeant James Henry

gives his last known address as the Salton sea.

Maybe's making his way home. Maybe we would catch him there.

Could I see that address please?

The only thing you'll find here is fish. The place is flooded out.

This is far as I go.

You can pick up the main highway by going back about a mile and turning left.

And take it right back to the hotel.

There's a sheriff's office in Mecca.

Hallo.

What are you doing here?

Brougt you this. - I don't need that.

I believe you. But, you dont believe me.

Is that a house? - Yeah.

Is water deep?

This is the kitchen.

I'm gonna get any cookie not even salad.

What a worthless?

Well there's the stove looks pretty rusty right now.

I can do something about that.

We probably got some fish in the icebox already.

Good.

What is it?

Jim Situation normal-

Brass fouled me up- when you read this tomorrow,

I'll be gone yesterday! Sorry- see you sometime, I hope... Paul

What is it Jim?

It's like I got up on the wrong side of the world.

You're under arrest. Hold your hands where I can see them.

Got a gun miss of 45 automatic. Does he still have it?

Yeah, I still got it.

Without stepping between us miss,

take his gun from him and put it on the sink.

But officer I can prove that he's innocent.

Do what he says.

But you gotta listen to me. I know more about this than either of you.

We'll talk after the guns are at the sink.

Where's the other lady?

That's what I wanted to tell you about.

Her husband... dead women.

Jim, come, he will drown.

Let him drown.

He drowned after he shot you both resisting arrest.

Both? - What else can I do?

You might hit before. (?)

Help! Help!

Comon, get me out! (?)

(?) - Please, you must help me. (?)

You'll kill her, aren't you? - Jim, please, help me.

You kill her, aren't you? - No. No, I didn't.

Please Jim, don't go away, don't go away, come back. (?)

Yes, I did that. I kill her.

Where did you kill her? - Back in Las Vegas. In bedroom.

How? - With the leash. The dog's leash.

I kill her with Tygers leash.

My husband shot himself because of what she did to him.

(?)

They picked on me.

How did you please you've gotta help. (?)

You figured if they found me dead you'd be free.

Don't go away, please wait!

You can't go down any further.

There's concrete underneath.

With going homicide charges sergeant, we heard a confession.

A couple of other minor items, like kidnapping

grand theft auto and escape,

the other property mother of thing.

... hands. (?) - Hold on, Ben.

Get in the car you two.

Like guys got a list of ponies against ... low. (?)

We're gonna lose our principal witness Ben.

Wife can't testify against her husband. - Wife?

You know Joe, some days I get awful tired of that to be a cup.

Yeah.

You know things may be a little tough before we get the place fixed up.

How tough can be when you have a swimming pool in every room.
