0:01:50 > 0:01:55There are 20,000 uniforms in this city.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57That's 80% of the Force.
0:01:59 > 0:02:07And, if they walk, your contract binds you to fill in for them until they go back to work.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10We go back on the beat? In uniform.
0:02:10 > 0:02:16Failure to do so can result in the loss of your gold shield.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20How are 5,000 detectives gonna cover the city?
0:02:20 > 0:02:27Badly - but at least there'll be a police presence. That's why they want you in uniform.
0:02:27 > 0:02:34Al, when the patrolmen went out in '70, a lot of detectives called in sick to support them.
0:02:34 > 0:02:41Right. That's why they have this clause - calling in sick without due cause is dereliction of duty
0:02:41 > 0:02:45and punishable by loss of rank and benefits.
0:02:45 > 0:02:52Can we talk, sir? No. The strike vote is at midnight. They'll walk or they won't walk.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Now what about this Don Juan thing?
0:02:55 > 0:03:00We're questioning florists and following leads. So you're nowhere.
0:03:00 > 0:03:07We've been working on it three months. 11 murdered women and this guy's still on the loose.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10City Hall's getting pressure to act.
0:03:10 > 0:03:15So they're putting together a special homicide task force.
0:03:15 > 0:03:23What exactly does that mean? It means a group of detectives will work exclusively on this case.
0:03:23 > 0:03:30Their own HQ, budget and personnel. But we caught the first homicide. It should be our case.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33It has been for three months.
0:03:33 > 0:03:40Are Chris and I off it? These guys have nothing else to do but solve this case.
0:03:40 > 0:03:46They got access to computers and plenty of manpower. They're pros.
0:03:46 > 0:03:51What are we? Chopped liver? That is not what I meant, Cagney.
0:03:51 > 0:03:57Now go down there and give them what you can. They want your case file.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01And you can help in your spare time. What spare time?
0:04:01 > 0:04:04You each get an hour for lunch.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Yes, sir.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Christine...
0:04:15 > 0:04:20It's not our fault. Why call in the marines? Cos he's still out there.
0:04:20 > 0:04:27They'll catch him with a computer?! We've followed up every lead and talked to every ditz and fruitcake.
0:04:27 > 0:04:32Don't take it personally. Two more days a week and we'd nail this guy.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Where can I find Detective Crespi?
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Thank you.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Detective Crespi? Yeah. What?
0:04:47 > 0:04:54I'm Detective Cagney. This is Detective Lacey. We caught the first homicide. Is that it?
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Yes, sir.
0:04:59 > 0:05:04Wait. This is a photocopy. We keep the originals for our files, sir.
0:05:04 > 0:05:11Is it all here? Yeah. Victims, witnesses, next of kin, forensics, leads, the works.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13OK, good. Thank you.
0:05:17 > 0:05:22OK. I'll be in touch if I need any clarification. Excuse me.
0:05:25 > 0:05:33Hey, look, we've put a lot of time and legwork into this. We'd like to keep our hand in. Detective...
0:05:33 > 0:05:39Cagney. Cagney. I've got six full-time detectives, three secretaries, ten phonelines,
0:05:39 > 0:05:4324-hour coverage and computer time.
0:05:43 > 0:05:51That should be enough manpower. Could you call us at least if you get a break? We... Yeah, will do.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58What a charming man(!)
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Honey, they've been working without a contract
0:06:03 > 0:06:11since January 31st. I don't care. It goes with the territory. They've got rent, gas, electric.
0:06:11 > 0:06:18Mary Beth, they take an oath to protect society. You think doctors should strike? They're different.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22Yeah? Well, if those guys walk, this city will be a war zone.
0:06:22 > 0:06:27Every lowlife will think he's Al Capone.
0:06:27 > 0:06:34You wouldn't walk, would you? Depends. On what? The offer and how bad I was hurting.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37You hurt, I give you a back rub.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Ohh...
0:06:46 > 0:06:50Magic touch. Let's get into bed early tonight.
0:06:50 > 0:06:58No, I'm gonna listen to the news. Why? So you can lose a night's sleep? Find out in the morning.
0:06:58 > 0:07:03There's mint and chocolate chip ice cream. We'll have an orgy.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06What kind of a girl do you think I am?
0:07:06 > 0:07:08TELEPHONE RINGS
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Hello?
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Christine?
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Oh, no.
0:07:20 > 0:07:26Yeah, all right. Tell them I'll be there in an hour.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28What happened?
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Uniforms are going out.
0:07:35 > 0:07:42If I don't breathe today I should be all right. I swore I'd never wear this thing again.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Not even on Halloween.
0:07:44 > 0:07:50I cannot do this lousy tie! Can you help? It's driving me nuts.
0:07:50 > 0:07:55I keep in practice with Harvey. I never saw Harvey wear a tie.
0:07:55 > 0:08:00Christmas Eve, Easter Sunday, weddings, funerals and the track.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02And the track?! Brings him luck.
0:08:02 > 0:08:08I can't believe they're going out. They're setting up a picket line.
0:08:08 > 0:08:13Terrific. That's all we need - police harassment.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Thanks.
0:08:15 > 0:08:20Christine, I hate to cross a picket line. It's not your union.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22It used to be. It's not any more.
0:08:24 > 0:08:32That lettuce thing - I used to walk six blocks to go to another supermarket. Well, get ready.
0:08:32 > 0:08:37You could lose your gold shield. They could lose their rent money.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41You agreed not to strike. Your father went out.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45What does he have to do with this? A lot.
0:08:45 > 0:08:53Because he went out, we have better pay, better benefits... You paid your dues! Ten years in uniform.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Come on.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59What if it was us going out?
0:08:59 > 0:09:04I don't expect anyone else to fight my battles for me.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Let's look at us.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17Well, it'll be an interesting roll call. Let's go.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Come on!
0:09:29 > 0:09:31You're pretty good with that thing.
0:09:31 > 0:09:36My first beat was Washington Heights. Tough neighbourhood then.
0:09:36 > 0:09:44You had to be pretty good with this baby. Your uniform looks like it's from the Civil War. Korean War.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53Not bad! Not bad at all! A little butch, maybe...
0:09:53 > 0:09:56All right, everyone. Come here.
0:09:56 > 0:10:02Until such time as they come back, this is the way it's gonna run.
0:10:02 > 0:10:1012 hours on, 12 hours off. We'll set up a temporary dormitory so some of you can stay over.
0:10:10 > 0:10:18You retain your rank as detective, but you will stay in uniform because the key word is visibility.
0:10:18 > 0:10:23I want you out on the streets. Take only priority calls.
0:10:23 > 0:10:30Deputy Inspector Knelman and myself will be here at the precinct at all times. Any questions?
0:10:30 > 0:10:37What about our active caseloads? Stay with them if you can, but your priority is the streets.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41Anything else? No, sir. Get yourself blue and whites.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Paul... Yeah?
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Get fitted for a new uniform.
0:10:47 > 0:10:52They don't make 'em like this now. No synthetic fabrics.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54You look like the Keystone Cops.
0:10:54 > 0:11:00What's funny? It looks like a suit of armour. You'll never get shot.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Wait a second. Where's Petrie?
0:11:04 > 0:11:09He...called in sick, Lieutenant. What's wrong with him?
0:11:09 > 0:11:12He's got a 103 fever.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24CHANTING OUTSIDE
0:11:26 > 0:11:31Come on. Wanna stay in uniform forever? No.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34We're bound by a contract. Just keep walking.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39BOOS AND CATCALLS
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Scab! Scab!
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Scabs!
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Stow it, Mallory.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50Get out of here! Traitors!
0:11:52 > 0:11:57You get in trouble some day, don't bother radioing in for a back-up!
0:12:25 > 0:12:30We got it over the radio. What time did it go down? Last night.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Time? I don't know that yet.
0:12:32 > 0:12:38You get an ID on her? I'm very busy. Check with Detective Chan.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49So does it look like number 12?
0:12:53 > 0:12:59Don't give me an attitude, Crespi! We're both detectives. Looking good, Canfield. Cagney.
0:12:59 > 0:13:04Cagney. So how is it you men are not in uniform?
0:13:04 > 0:13:07We don't look as pretty as you do.
0:13:17 > 0:13:22Patricia McConnell, age 32, 547 East 64.
0:13:22 > 0:13:29Blonde, young, attractive. We've got the location, the red rose, strangulation...
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Who the hell does he think he is? Huh?
0:13:31 > 0:13:36Crespi. A detective, second grade. He can't pull rank on us.
0:13:36 > 0:13:43Forget him, will you? I don't like his attitude. The key is figuring out how he knows where they live.
0:13:43 > 0:13:48The... Like he's the only detective in the damn city! Give it a rest.
0:13:51 > 0:13:56Oh, wait. Pull over here. Look, she's on fire.
0:14:01 > 0:14:06You're on fire? No, he slammed right into me. It was his fault!
0:14:06 > 0:14:10Lady, you didn't signal! She just stops!
0:14:10 > 0:14:15Look what you did to my car! Lady, you could eat off that car!
0:14:15 > 0:14:22Don't be impertinent. You know what you can do with "impertinent"! Button it up.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Licence and registration.
0:14:24 > 0:14:29It's worth a shot. We gotta go through Crespi.
0:14:29 > 0:14:34Why? He's got all the telephones. This is not even our case any more.
0:14:34 > 0:14:39We're not even supposed to be here. You want ME to do it? No!
0:14:39 > 0:14:41No.
0:14:48 > 0:14:53Detective Crespi, please. Detective Cagney, 14th.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Probably forgot my name again.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Yeah, Crespi? This is Cagney.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01Cagney!
0:15:01 > 0:15:08Look, we have a theory you may want to follow up. We figure he got access to addresses through a bank.
0:15:08 > 0:15:15A bank teller or loan officer. 9 out of the 12 women worked, they probably had bank accounts,
0:15:15 > 0:15:20so we thought...if you wouldn't mind...calling their employers,
0:15:20 > 0:15:27you could find out where they banked and it could be... You're welcome. What did he say?
0:15:27 > 0:15:30"Thank you." That's what he said.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33He won't do it, I'm telling you.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37Come on, we gotta get back out. Wait, I'm calling Marcus.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40TELEPHONE RINGS
0:15:40 > 0:15:42I'll get it.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Hello?
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Oh, hi, Mary Beth.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53He's in bed with the flu.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Yeah.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00OK, OK. Yeah, thank you. Bye-bye.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09I hate lying.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Then don't.
0:16:11 > 0:16:18They'll find out sooner or later unless you know a doctor we can bribe.
0:16:18 > 0:16:25Marcus, what if they take your gold shield away? Then I'll resign and you won't be married to a cop.
0:16:25 > 0:16:32And you won't complain about... Don't pin this on me! Well, get off my case, Claudia!
0:16:32 > 0:16:35BABY CRIES
0:16:48 > 0:16:54Excuse me. Do you work here? Yeah. So how come you're not on strike?
0:16:54 > 0:16:59Wrong union. If you ask me, it's criminal, cops going on strike...
0:16:59 > 0:17:07Sir, has anyone been purchasing red long-stemmed roses frequently? The Don Juan killer, right?
0:17:07 > 0:17:14I knew it. You knew what? Mr Taliafara. I never liked his face. He's your man.
0:17:14 > 0:17:19You have an address on him? Lennox Hill Convalescent Home.
0:17:19 > 0:17:24He gives flowers to the nurses. A real lech, even in a wheelchair.
0:17:24 > 0:17:30He's in a wheelchair? He's 80 and half blind, but he's the type.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34Little beady eyes. You wanna stake out my store, it's OK by me.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37Uh-huh. Well, thank you.
0:17:47 > 0:17:54Half hour, 40 minutes tops. Is Michael in bed? Did you give him his allergy medicine?
0:17:54 > 0:17:58You're the best. ..Yeah, in a while. Bye-bye.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Christine, quitting time.
0:18:01 > 0:18:06Crespi never called back. Forget Crespi. Go home, go to sleep.
0:18:06 > 0:18:099.15. It hardly pays.
0:18:09 > 0:18:16What about this new man you're seeing? Anyone up for a friendly game of poker?
0:18:16 > 0:18:24How friendly? Just bring your pay cheque. Since when do you play poker? I used to play.
0:18:24 > 0:18:29Maybe I'll hang around a while. Yeah? OK. Night. Night, Mary Beth.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36Isbecki! Deal me in!
0:18:38 > 0:18:43All right, Seven Card Stud. Two down, four up, one down.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Ante up.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49OK, here we go... OK, wait.
0:18:49 > 0:18:56Three of a kind beats two pair, right? Every day. You know how to play? Yes. I played at Barnard.
0:18:56 > 0:19:01I bet you had some wild games(!) You wanna just deal, Isbecki?
0:19:01 > 0:19:06Train to Coleman. Cowboy to Fernandez.
0:19:06 > 0:19:11A duck to the Keystone Cop. And a lady for the lady.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Can you look at your down cards?
0:19:20 > 0:19:22I raise.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Oh, that's too rich for me.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36Are you sure you wanna call? What you got?
0:19:36 > 0:19:39Oh... Read 'em and weep.
0:19:39 > 0:19:46I win. Ace, king, queen, jack, ten. A straight. Thank you very much.
0:19:46 > 0:19:53Oh. A flush beats a straight. Since when? Since the beginning of time. Right, La Guardia?
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Thank you, gentlemen(!)
0:20:01 > 0:20:04It has been a pleasure.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Any time.
0:20:06 > 0:20:13Be careful out there. There's no cops on the streets. It's dangerous for a lady!
0:20:13 > 0:20:18Victor, we shouldn't take her money. How else is she gonna learn?
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Hey, are you in, Cohen?
0:20:24 > 0:20:31There have been reports of scattered looting. We gotta keep visible. Eat where there's lots of people,
0:20:31 > 0:20:36a hot dog or pizza stand. Stay on the street.
0:20:36 > 0:20:43We've got to keep it under control. The Mayor is considering sending in the National Guard,
0:20:43 > 0:20:48which is just what the strikers want. Questions?
0:20:48 > 0:20:53La Guardia, you've got to do something about that uniform.
0:20:55 > 0:21:00I was measured for a new one. They promised I'd have it today.
0:21:00 > 0:21:05All right, let's get out there. And remember - visible.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07All right, that's it. Let's go.
0:21:07 > 0:21:12Where's that black detective? What's his name?
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Petrie. I didn't see him yesterday.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19Bad case of the flu. What colour of flu, Bert?
0:21:19 > 0:21:23Oh, no, it's kosher. Running a high temperature.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26He send in a medical certificate?
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Eh...yeah. On my desk somewhere.
0:21:35 > 0:21:40You want some of this here? No, I hate relish. More for me.
0:21:40 > 0:21:47It's too sweet. Whenever you're through with the mustard, it could work.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Today(?)
0:21:49 > 0:21:55I'm telling you, he hasn't checked it out. But it's a good theory.
0:21:55 > 0:22:00It wasn't his idea. There's no point giving ourselves indigestion.
0:22:00 > 0:22:05We could make the calls ourselves. Chris! Why not?
0:22:05 > 0:22:10We got the case file in the car. But that'll take a lot of time.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14Making the calls, getting the right department... So?
0:22:14 > 0:22:19So they're gonna have to call us back. So what?
0:22:19 > 0:22:21So we don't have an office.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24We sure do. Right there.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26It's perfect.
0:22:26 > 0:22:31Huh? You wanna make phone calls from a booth on Ninth Avenue?
0:22:31 > 0:22:36Knelman wanted visibility. ..You got 20 dimes?
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Great!
0:22:39 > 0:22:44Whatever you say. Thank you. Whatever you say. Really.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53Lauren...
0:22:53 > 0:22:57Could I talk with your daddy? It's OK.
0:23:04 > 0:23:09You're putting an awful lot on the line for this, Petrie.
0:23:09 > 0:23:14I realise that, Lieutenant. I didn't know you felt as strongly.
0:23:14 > 0:23:19It kinda runs in the family. My father worked in a steel mill.
0:23:19 > 0:23:25He organised the first walk-out they ever had until they signed a union contract.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28Your father still alive?
0:23:29 > 0:23:37Well, times change, Petrie. This is not a steel mill and you've got union representation.
0:23:37 > 0:23:42This isn't even your union. It's not the point. You've a kid to feed.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44My father had four of us.
0:23:47 > 0:23:53That gold shield you've got. You worked pretty hard for that, Petrie.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57It would be a shame for you to lose that.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Petrie...
0:24:02 > 0:24:05I can't cover for you much longer.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08You don't have to.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10And what if they bust you down?
0:24:10 > 0:24:12I'll quit.
0:24:12 > 0:24:17Go back to school. Law, computers, something. I don't know.
0:24:19 > 0:24:23I can always boost cars. I know how it's done now.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Well...
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Maybe they'll settle this thing.

0:25:34 > 0:25:36I wonder what Crespi's doing.
0:25:36 > 0:25:43Probably playing with his computer. Ha! Come on. We'll cruise Tenth Avenue.

0:25:53 > 0:25:58Nice town. I spent a week there one night.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01So, Cagney, bluff?
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Raise.

0:27:49 > 0:27:51Yeah? I think I got it!
0:27:51 > 0:27:56What time is it? Birth control pills.
0:27:56 > 0:28:01It's 1.21. Where are you? At the precinct. Wanna hear the link?
0:28:01 > 0:28:04A doctor. A GYN. Chris, what?
0:28:04 > 0:28:12Four of the women were carrying birth control pills. You read the profile of the killer.
0:28:12 > 0:28:19Sexually repressed. High sense of morality. What? He resented women who are sexually liberated!
0:28:19 > 0:28:25Only three of these women were married. Get it? See what I mean?
0:28:25 > 0:28:28Chris, listen to me. It's late...
0:28:28 > 0:28:36But it makes sense! What if they all went to the same doctor? Listen! Go home and get some sleep!
0:28:36 > 0:28:42OK, OK, I will. Just... Just tell me what you think. Terrific(!)
0:28:42 > 0:28:45We'll talk about it in the morning.
0:28:49 > 0:28:53What's going on? Nothing. It was Chris. She OK?

0:29:26 > 0:29:28Hey...
0:29:31 > 0:29:38What time is it? 14 minutes of nine. I got here early to beat the picket line. You slept here?
0:29:38 > 0:29:43Sorta. How come you didn't go home? When do doctors' offices open?
0:29:43 > 0:29:48Doctors' offices? Yeah. Come with me.
0:29:50 > 0:29:57I think that you should go home. The nurses will be in by now. They could look in the files.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59What if he's a random killer?
0:29:59 > 0:30:04Well, where would that leave us? I don't know.
0:30:04 > 0:30:09I could be way off base here, but I'd rather be that than nowhere.
0:30:09 > 0:30:14OK. So what? You think it's really birth control pills?
0:30:14 > 0:30:19It fits the psych profile and explains access to their addresses.
0:30:19 > 0:30:26The thing is, they'd all have to go to the same GYN. It's a longshot. It's like that bank theory. Yeah.
0:30:26 > 0:30:31Why would they all have to go to the same doctor? The addresses.
0:30:31 > 0:30:39Yeah, but say different doctors all wrote prescriptions and they were filled out... Whoo!
0:30:39 > 0:30:44Oh! The pharmacist! That's what I was gonna say.
0:30:44 > 0:30:48I know that. Mary Beth, you're brilliant.
0:30:48 > 0:30:54So why aren't you changed? Come on. We have to go through the doctors.
0:30:57 > 0:31:02Come on, Crespi. You've even got the Mayor's office behind you.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05You can get answers we can't get.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07I know it's a shot in the dark.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10What, the banks?
0:31:10 > 0:31:13Oh, you finally followed up on it.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16Yeah, well, we did, too.
0:31:16 > 0:31:23OK, look, what I need from you is the names of the gynaecologists. We'll take it from there.

0:31:45 > 0:31:50Think he'll do it? I don't know. I made him a pretty good offer.
0:31:50 > 0:31:57He doesn't like you. That's what I'm counting on. There'll be no crime on this corner today.
0:32:11 > 0:32:16Your partner in this morning, Detective? No, sir. Still sick.
0:32:16 > 0:32:21Must have a pretty nasty case of the flu. Yeah, he's sick as a dog.

0:32:26 > 0:32:29You get along?
0:32:30 > 0:32:32Sure.
0:32:32 > 0:32:39You know, you get used to working together with a partner. It's like a marriage.
0:32:39 > 0:32:44Yeah? You get somebody new, you gotta adjust all over again.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47It just doesn't feel right.
0:32:47 > 0:32:54You know how a guy likes to eat, how he handles a perp, whether he'll be behind you going through a door.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57You know what I mean?
0:32:58 > 0:33:00Sure.
0:33:00 > 0:33:05So, if I were you, I'd help him get better real fast.

0:34:00 > 0:34:05Look...Victor, I hope you understand what I'm doing.
0:34:05 > 0:34:13Sure. We talked. I understand. I don't feel very good about walking out on you. Don't worry.

0:34:43 > 0:34:50Uh, I'm gonna say this right now and I want you to know it's from the heart, not to influence you.

0:34:55 > 0:35:00If they take away your shield, they'll have to take away mine.
0:35:00 > 0:35:05They'll hear from Victor Isbecki loud and clear.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10We reached ten of the doctors.
0:35:10 > 0:35:15All prescribed birth control pills within the last three months.
0:35:15 > 0:35:20Dates correspond to the murders. Seven were on the same night. OK.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23But how do we know which drugstore?
0:35:23 > 0:35:32Three doctors use a store at 44th and Park. Within walking distance of their offices or apartments.
0:35:32 > 0:35:36All circumstantial, even if you link all 12.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39We know that. We have a plan.
0:35:39 > 0:35:45One doctor phones in a prescription and I'll go in. We lay a trap.
0:35:45 > 0:35:54How do you know he'll strike tonight? We don't. But 7 out of 12 ain't bad odds. We'll keep going.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56I think it's worth a shot.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02Did you run this by Crespi?
