0:01:12 > 0:01:17Liz gets back a week early and walks in on Brad and Devon in Brad's flat.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Brad shot Liz? No.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24Devon shot Liz? No way! Devon was in the shower.
0:01:24 > 0:01:29Who shot Liz? My money's on Lance. Her ex-husband?
0:01:29 > 0:01:31He's still real hung-up on her.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35If you never watch these shows, how come you know everyone?
0:01:35 > 0:01:39I got hooked on Beyond The Horizon working nights.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43I found I really missed it when I went over to day shift.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46So work nights - like me!
0:01:46 > 0:01:50My daughter got me a video recorder for Christmas.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54I tape the shows and catch up on weekends.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Not a terrible idea!
0:01:56 > 0:01:59I could use one for the summer. How's that?
0:01:59 > 0:02:02I work days in the tourist season!
0:02:05 > 0:02:09Right over here! I've been to the West Chester Police!
0:02:09 > 0:02:13They won't even look for her! Please!
0:02:13 > 0:02:22I can't just sit around and wait. Your wife was last seen at the Sullivan Theater, Mr White?
0:02:22 > 0:02:28She goes to a matinee every Wednesday with her girlfriends. I never liked the idea!
0:02:28 > 0:02:31The city's dangerous for women!
0:02:31 > 0:02:35Mr White, this is awkward, but we have to ask. All right.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38West Chester Police already asked -
0:02:38 > 0:02:45no, my wife and I were not having marital difficulties. She's a good wife and mother to our two girls.
0:02:45 > 0:02:51Please...find her. Yes, sir. We'll do what we can, Mr White.
0:02:51 > 0:02:56The West Chester Police had the right idea. Who'd run from this?
0:02:56 > 0:02:58People that want more.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Come on! What more?
0:03:01 > 0:03:06Two beautiful daughters, a husband that adores her, a nice home,
0:03:06 > 0:03:13and every Wednesday a day out with the girls - shopping and culture. I wouldn't need much more.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20I grew up here.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Around here?
0:03:23 > 0:03:25With your mother, right?
0:03:25 > 0:03:28And my grandmother and my brother.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32Oh, yeah. How come I never hear about your brother?
0:03:32 > 0:03:38He lives in California now. There's telephones, Christine!
0:03:38 > 0:03:40BARKING
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Yeah...it's been a long time.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49I haven't talked to him since my mother died.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54I'm sorry.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Was your home as fancy as these?
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Yeah, I guess... Is it close?
0:04:07 > 0:04:12We could go by later, take a look. No, I don't think so.
0:04:14 > 0:04:22Helen left in the middle of the second act to go to the ladies and never returned. You look for her?
0:04:22 > 0:04:26Of course. Then, what? You call the police? Report it?
0:04:26 > 0:04:29I told an usher. I see.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33..Did Mrs White ever indicate she was having trouble at home?
0:04:33 > 0:04:36No, no problems.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39..How about you?
0:04:39 > 0:04:46You mean, did she run away from home? Is that a possibility? Anything's possible!
0:04:46 > 0:04:50Did she have friends or family in the city?
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Er...I don't know...
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Do you?
0:04:55 > 0:04:59No-one her husband wouldn't know about - check with him.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03There's Chet! ..Be with you in a whizz, Chet!
0:05:03 > 0:05:07We don't mean to be rude, but we have a tennis lesson at 3.00.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11You were a half-hour late. Right.
0:05:13 > 0:05:21Their friend disappears and they're worried about tennis. Different ways of dealing with emotions!
0:05:21 > 0:05:27Can the good-cop routine! They even have their hair done for tennis!
0:05:28 > 0:05:32Mary Beth, you had a call. I left a message on your desk.
0:05:32 > 0:05:37Thanks. Bad day in court, Isbecki? Hmm?
0:05:37 > 0:05:39You get dragged through the mud?
0:05:39 > 0:05:44Who cares about court? Real police work is done in the streets!
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Car thief - we caught in the act.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51Oh? Just you and Petrie, huh? No SWAT squad?
0:05:51 > 0:05:57Hey! ..I don't have time to make small talk with you, Detective!
0:05:57 > 0:06:00I got reports to fill out. Come on!
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Hey, Petrie! What's with your collar?
0:06:09 > 0:06:14Kid ran, we chased him through a muddy salvage yard.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18Victor hit him with a flying tackle. No? That explains the suit!
0:06:18 > 0:06:20His best and only suit!
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Your perp looks like a kid.
0:06:22 > 0:06:27He may be a juvenile. No ID and he won't tell us his name.
0:06:27 > 0:06:34Is the Lieutenant in? Haven't seen him. Christine! Morgue might have Helen White.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39They'll lose the personal touch. A computer's just a tool.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Yeah, yeah, I know. That's what...
0:06:42 > 0:06:44..What are you doing here?
0:06:44 > 0:06:47I asked you a question!
0:06:47 > 0:06:52We're processing a grand larceny auto, Lieutenant.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54What do you think...?
0:06:54 > 0:07:00You told me you were through with it! This is how you keep your word?
0:07:00 > 0:07:04Come on, Lieutenant! Hold it! Come on - relax!
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Get him out of my sight!
0:07:12 > 0:07:15What did you ever do to him?
0:07:15 > 0:07:18I made the mistake of being his son!
0:07:31 > 0:07:35Should we say something to Samuels? What do you say?
0:07:35 > 0:07:43Imagine your kid arrested, brought into the precinct... I'd die if it was one of mine. It happens.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47A lot of cops' kids get in trouble. Not all cops' kids!
0:07:47 > 0:07:49I did.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51You did?
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Why? Shoplifting - ice skates. 12 years old.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02My mother let me stew in juvenile hall overnight. You're kidding?
0:08:02 > 0:08:07You were 12! I sat there till my dad found out - he sprung me.
0:08:07 > 0:08:14That was rough of her. Why? It was me that got in trouble. Yes, but leaving your kid in jail...
0:08:14 > 0:08:19You must've felt... It worked, didn't it? I never stole again.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29What do you think?
0:08:29 > 0:08:34Strangulation? Apparently manual. Where was the body found?
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Manchester Hotel in the West 40s.
0:08:40 > 0:08:45Fully clothed, but evidence of a recent coitus.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Rape? Doubtful.
0:08:47 > 0:08:52I'll send you a complete report as soon as we do the autopsy.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Thank you.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Thank you.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05I'll never get used to dead bodies. Yeah.
0:09:05 > 0:09:10Who's gonna call Richard White? You. Why me?
0:09:10 > 0:09:13You've got more compassion, Mary Beth.
0:09:13 > 0:09:18You say that, Christine, cos you don't wanna make the call.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22I'm not good at it. I blurt it out. That's the best way. No...
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Hey, hey!
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Heads.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Mr White?
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Hi, this is Detective Cagney.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50We found your wife.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54They sign in, they pay, I give them their key!
0:09:54 > 0:09:58After that, it's their business. Now it's police business.
0:09:58 > 0:10:04Jones, Smith... Original thinker - Brown(!) This isn't the Ritz.
0:10:04 > 0:10:11Would your memory be refreshed at the station? I told you - she came in two or three times a month
0:10:11 > 0:10:14with some guy. Same guy? Every time.
0:10:14 > 0:10:19Sometimes, he came in with other women, but she was loyal.
0:10:19 > 0:10:25She really had the hots for him. Didn't even wait for the elevator. So this man came in once a week
0:10:25 > 0:10:28and you can't describe him?
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Two arms, two legs...
0:10:32 > 0:10:34You are pressing your luck!
0:10:34 > 0:10:41Sue me! Fine. Let's go. Christine! No! Christine... Come on, lady, we're looking for a murderer!
0:10:43 > 0:10:47He had this scar, ran from here to here.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49He was dark and swarthy...
0:10:49 > 0:10:53and really put together. What about a name?
0:10:53 > 0:10:59Could be Smith, could be Jones. Could be Brown? You got it!
0:11:02 > 0:11:05It's that late already, huh?
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Thelma!
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Hello, Paul.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29It's been such a long time.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33Why are you here so late? Things to take care of.
0:11:33 > 0:11:39Bert didn't say you were coming down. He didn't know.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42I tried to arrange bail for David.
0:11:42 > 0:11:47I was hoping I could take care of it without appealing to Albert.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Sit down.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04I want to have a word with him. No.
0:12:04 > 0:12:11He's upstairs. Can't I even talk to him? He's been here all day! This isn't a playground!
0:12:11 > 0:12:17You're talking about our son! And he broke the law!
0:12:17 > 0:12:20He has to learn that actions have consequences!
0:12:20 > 0:12:27You always think I can bail him out! My kid - thinks he's untouchable!
0:12:27 > 0:12:34I'm not asking you to bail him out! No, but to co-sign a loan on the house! My loan. Yeah, your loan?
0:12:34 > 0:12:41I won't let him ruin you! You have your way of dealing with him - I've got mine!
0:12:41 > 0:12:45If I want to take out a loan, that is my choice! No, it's not.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Not while I'm still paying for it!
0:12:48 > 0:12:52I won't allow you to do that - not to yourself or for him!
0:12:52 > 0:12:59Still controlling our lives? No, Thelma... You hide in here, don't wanna know anything about us...
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Thelma!
0:13:01 > 0:13:08I can't believe you'd let your own son sit in jail when you could get him out!
0:13:17 > 0:13:20This isn't a runaway wife any more.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24You were the last two women to see her. We told you everything.
0:13:24 > 0:13:32No. Your friend died between noon and 3.00pm. She never went to the theatre, did she, Marsha?
0:13:32 > 0:13:37You don't have to talk to them. That's lousy advice, Mrs Reynolds.
0:13:37 > 0:13:45Seeing everything you've said up to now has been a lie, I would say that made you a very good suspect.
0:13:45 > 0:13:52At least the best one we've got. It'd be so much easier to tell us what happened.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Come on...
0:13:57 > 0:14:00H-Helen...er... wasn't at the theatre...
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Neither was Linda...
0:14:03 > 0:14:05It was just me.
0:14:07 > 0:14:12Wednesdays... we'd go into the city...
0:14:12 > 0:14:16but only one of us would go to the theatre...
0:14:16 > 0:14:20meanwhile, the other two would, er...
0:14:23 > 0:14:25..have an adventure.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29You had lovers?
0:14:33 > 0:14:37Who was Helen involved with? I don't know.
0:14:37 > 0:14:43Right! We didn't tell each other, so wouldn't have to lie to cover. Thoughtful!
0:14:46 > 0:14:49My...my husband...
0:14:49 > 0:14:55will he find out? You're a material witness. It's likely that he will.
0:14:58 > 0:15:03He'll divorce me. I know it! You should've thought of that before.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06Wow! Why didn't I think of that?
0:15:08 > 0:15:11I saw my mother sitting there.
0:15:11 > 0:15:16Oh, Chris, is that why she and Charlie got divorced?
0:15:16 > 0:15:19No! My mother didn't have affairs...
0:15:19 > 0:15:21at least none I know about.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28She was just lonely.
0:15:28 > 0:15:34She cut herself off from everything, especially after the divorce...
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Maybe she still loved your dad?
0:15:37 > 0:15:39I never asked her.
0:15:39 > 0:15:44She and my brother were closer. How old were you when she died?
0:15:44 > 0:15:4819. I was in Europe in school at the time.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51So you had to come back? For the funeral?
0:15:54 > 0:15:56No, I didn't.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07There it is!
0:16:07 > 0:16:11That's your house? That's it. It's a mansion!
0:16:11 > 0:16:17Six bedrooms, three baths, a den, a sun port, servants' quarters...
0:16:17 > 0:16:20three-quarters of an acre of land.
0:16:20 > 0:16:27For you and your mother, your brother and your grandmother. Fantastic! That enormous house!
0:16:33 > 0:16:39This the first time you've seen it since the family sold it? No, I've driven by.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42What a lucky start, huh?
0:16:42 > 0:16:46I mean, all of that - you and your brother...
0:16:46 > 0:16:48You must have wonderful memories.
0:16:48 > 0:16:54Yeah, let's go. Better hurry or we'll hit that traffic going back.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36David...I...
0:17:49 > 0:17:51You OK, son?
0:17:51 > 0:17:53Huh?
0:17:56 > 0:18:03Detective Isbecki got an inquiry from another precinct about you - that's why they're holding you.
0:18:03 > 0:18:10I didn't know whether anyone had explained to you why you were still here.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15Your mother was...
0:18:15 > 0:18:17was by here...yesterday...
0:18:19 > 0:18:21She seems to think that, er...
0:18:24 > 0:18:26..that I'm the bad guy...
0:18:28 > 0:18:30..in this whole deal.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36I suppose you do, too, huh?
0:18:38 > 0:18:40David...
0:18:43 > 0:18:45..I...
0:18:45 > 0:18:50I know you think you got some kind of a raw deal...
0:18:52 > 0:18:56I never had enough time... for you kids...
0:18:56 > 0:18:58I know that!
0:19:00 > 0:19:04I did the best that I knew how.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07DAVID WHISTLES
0:19:11 > 0:19:14You know, Davy, when...
0:19:14 > 0:19:16I was a kid...
0:19:16 > 0:19:19men were taught...
0:19:21 > 0:19:23..people were taught...
0:19:23 > 0:19:26different things...
0:19:26 > 0:19:29than what...today...
0:19:29 > 0:19:33what kids are taught today. It's different.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37Please don't whistle. I wanna talk to you.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41I was supposed to be the best damn cop that I could be!
0:19:41 > 0:19:48And I was supposed to put food on the table for your mother and for you kids...
0:19:48 > 0:19:51and I did that, Davy!
0:19:53 > 0:19:58And you were supposed to love me and respect me...
0:20:00 > 0:20:03I don't know nothing else.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07That's the way we're supposed to be...
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Davy, it's complicated for me too...
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Do you know that?
0:20:16 > 0:20:19I don't know all the answers, Davy!
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Look, David...
0:20:40 > 0:20:42..I spent a lot of time...
0:20:45 > 0:20:47..feeling guilty...
0:20:47 > 0:20:53about all the time that I put into my work and about divorcing your mother.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02But, Davy, I want you to know...
0:21:02 > 0:21:05that if I could do it all over again,
0:21:05 > 0:21:10I don't think that I could... I don't think that I would...
0:21:10 > 0:21:12do it any differently.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19And now, Davy...
0:21:19 > 0:21:23you've got to make a life for yourself...
0:21:26 > 0:21:32..and you've got to quit blaming me for the mess you've got yourself into.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54I'm telling you the truth, Davy.
0:22:35 > 0:22:36Harv?
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Huh?
0:22:40 > 0:22:44Have we got enough excitement in our marriage?
0:22:52 > 0:22:57Thinking about those women, sneaking around, fooling around...
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Depressing, Harv...
0:23:05 > 0:23:08Harvey? Uh...
0:23:10 > 0:23:16I don't know if I'm more depressed about them or Chris or Samuels and his kid...
0:23:19 > 0:23:24I mean, Harv, you know, you think you know people...
0:23:26 > 0:23:28He hit his kid...
0:23:32 > 0:23:36And you ought to see the palace Christine grew up in!
0:23:36 > 0:23:39Unbelievable, it's unbelievable!
0:23:39 > 0:23:41But sad too, you know...
0:23:43 > 0:23:47She hasn't talked to her brother since she was 19...
0:23:47 > 0:23:51and there's a lot of unfinished business with her mother!
0:23:54 > 0:23:57I worry about her, Harv, I do.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00She keeps everything inside... Yeah...
0:24:00 > 0:24:04Thank you, Harvey Lacey, it's been scintillating!
0:24:04 > 0:24:08Scintillating having you ease my mind through this!
0:24:14 > 0:24:19Get your very cold feet on your side of the bed, please! Sorry.
0:24:19 > 0:24:24You're my husband - you've no right to have feet that cold.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Night, babe. Good night.
0:24:40 > 0:24:45I was going through some of Helen's...personal items...
0:24:45 > 0:24:47and I came across this...
0:24:49 > 0:24:52..this filth.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06Do you know the man in these pictures, Mr White? No.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11No, but...this letter was enclosed.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17And, evidently, whoever this...
0:25:17 > 0:25:24slime is, he was threatening to send me the photos of their activities unless she gave him $5,000.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28You checked your bank account, sir? Nothing unusual.
0:25:28 > 0:25:35Your wife have access to funds of her own? No... Manhattan postmark, last Friday.
0:25:35 > 0:25:41No return address. And the letter is signed the Marquis de Sade.
0:25:54 > 0:25:59We got a new development in the Helen White homicide, sir.
0:25:59 > 0:26:06The husband found some photos. What type? Compromising photos and a blackmail letter.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10Run it through forensics. We're doing it, sir. Good.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Let me know where that leads.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Is there something I can do, sir?
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Maybe you should rethink it.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23Look at everything again with a fresh eye...
0:26:23 > 0:26:26talk to the husband...
0:26:26 > 0:26:29talk to the victim's friends.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32Somebody knows something - probably everybody does.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35You'll find it.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Something else?
0:26:39 > 0:26:40No.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Thank you, sir.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57You can't get a lab trace on this?
0:26:57 > 0:27:00No, one of those instant jobs. High-speed film.
0:27:00 > 0:27:06What can you tell us about these photos? Kinda rococo, huh?
0:27:06 > 0:27:08Did you catch the black cape? Yes.
0:27:08 > 0:27:16What we need is some forensic evidence. Forensically speaking, we got male and female Caucasians,
0:27:16 > 0:27:20apparently in flagrante delicto, in a room 15 by 18.
0:27:20 > 0:27:25Time of day from the soap opera on TV is 2.30 to 3.00pm.
0:27:25 > 0:27:31Don't you love it? They're watching TV during the festivities!
0:27:31 > 0:27:37The bedspread is cheap fabric, probably polyester...
0:27:37 > 0:27:41We know all that - we need an ID on the man.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43The Marquis de Sade? Yes.
0:27:47 > 0:27:52I love the outfit. A little outre maybe, but...
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Yeah... 6ft, 6' 1.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58175-190lb,
0:27:58 > 0:28:0125-30 years of age.
0:28:01 > 0:28:07Dark hair and complexion... There's a 3-inch scar under the right eye...
0:28:07 > 0:28:09distended navel...
0:28:09 > 0:28:16How clinical do you want me to get? You've gone far enough! Any objects we can connect him with?
0:28:16 > 0:28:20Some keys on the table, but that won't go anywhere.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23Yeah, you've got a package of cigarettes in a holder.
0:28:23 > 0:28:31Brand name is non-decipherable and a match book. Can you read it? What do you think they pay me for?
0:28:31 > 0:28:38'It's one of those strip joints for females only, the Male Room on Bleecker St.'
0:28:38 > 0:28:42APPLAUSE
0:28:51 > 0:28:54What do you think, ladies?
0:28:54 > 0:28:56Do you love it?
0:28:56 > 0:29:00Is he primitive enough for you?
0:29:00 > 0:29:05I know what it sounds like, Harv, but I am not having a good time.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09All right!
0:29:15 > 0:29:19From the Stone Age to you! Let's hear it for the Barbarian!
0:29:19 > 0:29:23Get your mind out of the gutter! I'll see you later!
0:29:23 > 0:29:28Now, ladies, get ready for a special delivery from the Male Room!
0:29:28 > 0:29:31Come on out here, guys!
0:29:31 > 0:29:37OK, ladies, our ten gorgeous hosts, ready and willing to please you!
0:29:37 > 0:29:41How's Harvey? Button it, will you, Chris?
0:29:41 > 0:29:43You missed the Barbarian!
0:29:43 > 0:29:47That's all right. Ogling half-naked men is not my thing.
0:29:47 > 0:29:51Think of them as half-naked suspects.
0:29:51 > 0:29:55Thank you, guys! Let's put them to work!
0:29:55 > 0:29:58And now, ladies, hang on to your seats.
0:29:58 > 0:30:02For those who treasure the dark side of fantasy,
0:30:02 > 0:30:07the Male Room presents the Marquis de Sade!
0:30:15 > 0:30:18Same outfit as in the picture.
0:30:18 > 0:30:226ft, 6' 1...dark...
0:30:22 > 0:30:24same body...
0:30:25 > 0:30:27Is he something, ladies?
0:30:29 > 0:30:31Does he give you what you want?
0:30:38 > 0:30:40Thank you.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48You want him to take it off?
0:30:56 > 0:30:58Scar on the right cheek.
0:30:59 > 0:31:03Let's get out of here. Wait! Let me see his act!
0:31:03 > 0:31:06He's not going away in that outfit.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09He can be so good when he's bad!
0:31:12 > 0:31:17Gonna have to talk to him sometime. What's he gonna say?
0:31:17 > 0:31:19"Cagney! Lacey! Get in here!"
0:31:21 > 0:31:25What? Watch me. "This is shoddy police work!"
0:31:25 > 0:31:30He's the man in the pictures, the note is signed Marquis de Sade!
0:31:30 > 0:31:33"You'll take this to court?
0:31:33 > 0:31:35"You got nothing!
0:31:35 > 0:31:40"No handwriting match, no positive ID from the desk clerk,
0:31:40 > 0:31:45"no prints, you don't have a weapon!" She was strangled, sir!
0:31:45 > 0:31:49"Very good, Lacey. And your guy's got two hands!
0:31:49 > 0:31:54"Huh? Open-and-shut case! Get outta here, the both of you!"
0:31:54 > 0:31:56Yes, sir.
0:31:58 > 0:32:03Sir, he admits knowing Helen White and he sees a lot of women, sir.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07"So he's a hustler, Lacey!
0:32:07 > 0:32:10"There's no law against that!
0:32:10 > 0:32:17"I'm telling the both of you, I'm not going to the DA to press murder charges with no evidence!"
0:32:17 > 0:32:21The blackmail motive. "Let me ask you something, Lacey." Sir?
0:32:21 > 0:32:24"Sit down." Yes, sir.
0:32:27 > 0:32:31"You wanna do some good police work?" Yes, sir!
0:32:31 > 0:32:36"How can he be taking pictures when he's hustling her? Is he Houdini?"
0:32:37 > 0:32:40He must have had an accomplice.
0:32:44 > 0:32:48"Very good, Cagney!" Hey! I would have thought of it!
0:32:48 > 0:32:50That's it!
0:32:51 > 0:32:55Find the accomplice, we got a case.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57You know what he's gonna say to us?
0:32:57 > 0:33:04Did we look for peepholes and windows? We didn't know about the pictures yet! We know now!
0:33:04 > 0:33:06So?
0:33:06 > 0:33:09BOTH: Back to the hotel!
0:33:43 > 0:33:46This is definitely the angle.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53Wait a minute.
0:33:54 > 0:34:00Maybe the accomplice worked from out here. Every room has access to it.
0:34:00 > 0:34:06So what do you think? Some guy could've climbed up off the street.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12Look at this...
0:34:12 > 0:34:15How do they do it?
0:34:15 > 0:34:18You're the mother of two - you're asking me(?)
0:34:18 > 0:34:21Not that! Logistics!
0:34:21 > 0:34:25Logistics? Well... They've got kids to take care of...
0:34:25 > 0:34:29tennis lessons, a house to look after...
0:34:29 > 0:34:35Where do they find the time or energy? Domestic help and vitamins!
0:34:35 > 0:34:37I mean, how do they meet the guys?
0:34:37 > 0:34:42I mean, how do they get them to take them to, like, this?
0:34:42 > 0:34:44Let me see...
0:34:44 > 0:34:49I'd go to a nice cocktail lounge on Madison or Lexington in the 40s...
0:34:49 > 0:34:54Little perfume, strategically placed...
0:34:54 > 0:34:59buy yourself a sweet dress... and three buttons undone on you, Mary Beth!
0:34:59 > 0:35:05Are you asking professionally? Nobody likes a wiseacre! You asked!
0:35:05 > 0:35:10Knock-knock! We're kinda busy, OK? Would you hurry? I need the room.
0:35:10 > 0:35:14Now? Businessman special...
0:35:19 > 0:35:23Cagney, it's 9.30. Why are you still here?
0:35:24 > 0:35:28Just cleaning up some work. You went off shift four hours ago.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31So did you. Crossword puzzle?
0:35:31 > 0:35:34Helps me relax.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38Lieutenant...
0:35:38 > 0:35:42I wanted to say I was sorry about David.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44What is there to say?
0:35:47 > 0:35:49You turned out all right...
0:35:49 > 0:35:54and your old man was a cop. My problem was with my mother.
0:35:54 > 0:35:59No matter what we do for you kids, you gotta stick it to us parents!
0:36:01 > 0:36:05Maybe Freud was right! Don't smart mouth me!
0:36:05 > 0:36:10Sometimes I think that kid of mine hates me so much...
0:36:10 > 0:36:14I don't think that's true, Lieutenant. That right?
0:36:14 > 0:36:19What are you telling me? Everything is OK with you and your mother now?
0:36:19 > 0:36:23No, but... You got a responsibility to your parents!
0:36:23 > 0:36:26Parents are people too!
0:36:28 > 0:36:32It's like a two-way street!
0:36:38 > 0:36:40Cagney...
0:36:40 > 0:36:43call your mother!
0:36:48 > 0:36:52Bupkis! Bupkis? Nada, nothing! You don't have enough evidence!
0:36:52 > 0:36:59You think district attorneys make cases out of air? The desk clerk made a positive ID!
0:36:59 > 0:37:04They went in together, he came out alone. Bupkis! Stop the bupkis!
0:37:04 > 0:37:10A lawyer will say there was someone else up there. Two-month trial - not guilty!
0:37:10 > 0:37:13Reasonable doubt!
0:37:16 > 0:37:18Thanks, but no thanks.
0:37:18 > 0:37:22So he just walks away? Dances! He's an exotic dancer!
0:37:27 > 0:37:29Hiya, Josie.
0:37:29 > 0:37:34How the Lieutenant? Hasn't come out his office yet.
0:37:34 > 0:37:39Coleman went in and he nearly took his head off. Arraignment's at 4.00.
0:37:40 > 0:37:43Tracy, Elroy Tracy.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50Hey, Paul...
0:37:50 > 0:37:52I hope you don't mind...
0:37:52 > 0:37:56What's to mind? It isn't going anywhere. Good.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59The DA dismissed it. Good.
0:37:59 > 0:38:03Why good? I think I have a new theory about your case.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06You do?
0:38:08 > 0:38:12Could we go somewhere private? This is a little embarrassing.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15Ladies' room. Good.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24I don't think it's gonna work.
0:38:24 > 0:38:30It always worked for Columbo! You're not Columbo! Watch me!
0:38:34 > 0:38:36HE KNOCKS
0:38:36 > 0:38:41Someone say come in? I thought you might wanna talk! You thought wrong!
0:38:41 > 0:38:43Close the door on your way out.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58He's kept us waiting 13 minutes!
0:38:58 > 0:39:02Columbo would never have stood for this!
0:39:02 > 0:39:08Detectives Cagney, Lacey. We are so sorry to take up your time!
0:39:08 > 0:39:14Something come up? The DA dropped the charges against our suspect.
0:39:14 > 0:39:15Ah...
0:39:15 > 0:39:18Some legal technicality?
0:39:18 > 0:39:22No, it was our fault. We just had the wrong guy.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25The man we had was being set up.
0:39:25 > 0:39:29Yes, sir, but we learned something from it, didn't we?
0:39:29 > 0:39:35Sometimes, you get a piece of evidence and look at the wrong things.
0:39:35 > 0:39:43Do you have one of those video tape recorders? I don't see what this... Prices have really gone down!
0:39:43 > 0:39:46Anyways, this fellow we work with got one for Christmas.
0:39:46 > 0:39:51When he was working nights, he got hooked on a soap opera...
0:39:51 > 0:39:58Beyond The Horizon...and, now he works days, he can record it. Detective Lacey...
0:39:58 > 0:40:05I'm rather busy. There's something I wanna show you. Not the photos again. I'm sorry to do this.
0:40:05 > 0:40:11I wish you'd look - it's interesting. Look at the TV set. What's it got to do with anything?
0:40:11 > 0:40:16Guess who the woman is on the TV. What? Liz. Liz? Right.
0:40:16 > 0:40:23I would never have known it, but this fellow tells me Liz did not come back till Wednesday...
0:40:25 > 0:40:29I don't understand what you're saying. I think you do.
0:40:29 > 0:40:34The envelope was postmarked five days before your wife's death. So?
0:40:34 > 0:40:42The pictures couldn't have been in it. They were taken on Wednesday. You sent the envelope to yourself
0:40:42 > 0:40:45and dropped the pictures in later.
0:40:45 > 0:40:51Wednesday 19th, you waited on the fire escape at the hotel and you took those pictures.
0:40:51 > 0:40:57After the boyfriend left, you went in and murdered your wife.
0:40:59 > 0:41:04Before you say anything, you do have the right to remain silent.
0:41:04 > 0:41:08If you give up the right to remain silent,
0:41:08 > 0:41:11anything you say can and will be...
0:41:16 > 0:41:19Was I right?
0:41:19 > 0:41:21Full confession!
0:41:21 > 0:41:28The soap opera stuff was perfect! You should take the collar! Be my guest! Don't tell anyone I watch it!
0:41:28 > 0:41:31Our lips are sealed.
0:41:31 > 0:41:37Where is he? Central booking talking to his attorney. Champagne? Who's buying?
0:41:37 > 0:41:42I'll buy! I don't think this is exactly the time.
0:41:48 > 0:41:5036 minutes.
0:41:50 > 0:41:55Never gonna make it. You think someone should tell him the time?
0:41:55 > 0:41:57Petrie, you wanna tell him? No.
0:41:57 > 0:42:02La Guardia ought to go in. He's closer to his generation.
0:42:02 > 0:42:06He obviously doesn't wanna go - it's none of our business.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08Petrie's right - it's his decision.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25Making him crazy. What?
0:42:25 > 0:42:29It's tearing him up. How do you know? That's his son!
0:42:29 > 0:42:33Whatever happened can be repaired - that's family.
0:42:33 > 0:42:37You love and hate and fight, but you don't walk away!
0:42:40 > 0:42:44Lieutenant...last night, you told me to call my mother.
0:42:44 > 0:42:50I didn't, because my mother died... I'm sorry... It's OK - it was a long time ago.
0:42:50 > 0:42:55But what I needed to say to you was I wish I had... Cagney, please...
0:42:55 > 0:42:57Now I wish I could...
0:42:59 > 0:43:02So I guess what I'm telling you...
0:43:04 > 0:43:07..is I'm just telling you...
0:43:11 > 0:43:13What did you say to him?
0:43:13 > 0:43:16Nothing.
0:43:18 > 0:43:21I got an appointment.
0:43:21 > 0:43:23I'll be back in a couple of hours.
0:43:34 > 0:43:39He'll never make it. Unless he goes lights and sirens.
0:43:39 > 0:43:42He hasn't done that in years.
0:43:42 > 0:43:45Probably doesn't even know... SIREN
0:43:51 > 0:43:53You said something to him!
0:43:57 > 0:44:00It's 12.35 in California, right?
0:44:02 > 0:44:04Right.
0:44:40 > 0:44:43Hello, Annie?
0:44:43 > 0:44:45It's Christine.
0:44:46 > 0:44:49Is my brother home?
