0:01:26 > 0:01:29- Let me see that a second.- Screaming won't get you anywhere, Mr Tanner.

0:01:29 > 0:01:32INDISTINCT

0:01:32 > 0:01:34I'm afraid we're going to have to conclude

0:01:34 > 0:01:37that your wife does not want to be found.

0:01:37 > 0:01:39- 26 days she's been missing! 26 days! - I understand...

0:01:39 > 0:01:42- The police haven't found anything! - All the evidence we have...!

0:01:42 > 0:01:47All they can come up with is that Nora ran away from me!

0:01:47 > 0:01:50- That I'm a terrible husband! - I never said you're a bad husband.

0:01:50 > 0:01:52Then why would she run away?! I never hit her, never!

0:01:52 > 0:01:55- We have a good marriage. I love her! - Yes, sir, I'm sure you do.

0:01:55 > 0:01:57Then why do you keep saying ran away?

0:01:57 > 0:02:00You're either too lazy to find Nora or you don't know what you're doing!

0:02:00 > 0:02:03For God's sake, stop this! Hold it right there!

0:02:03 > 0:02:06Look, Mr Tanner, I won't have you insulting my officers.

0:02:06 > 0:02:09I agree with Cagney and Lacey that the evidence points to a runaway!

0:02:09 > 0:02:11- Bull! You hear me?! Bull! - Lower your voice in here!

0:02:11 > 0:02:15INDISTINCT

0:02:15 > 0:02:18All the evidence suggests that your daughter left of her own free will.

0:02:18 > 0:02:21My wife does not run away from me. She couldn't have!

0:02:21 > 0:02:25- She agrees with me.- Madam Zal is not a trained police officer.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28It's Mrs, they only call me Madam in Europe.

0:02:28 > 0:02:30You must have heard about her finding that kid in Belgium.

0:02:30 > 0:02:32The boy that was kidnapped.

0:02:32 > 0:02:34She has not brought any new evidence, any facts.

0:02:34 > 0:02:37But I have feelings, Lieutenant. Very strong senses.

0:02:37 > 0:02:40Whether you believe in my powers or not.

0:02:40 > 0:02:42Madam Zal, a feeling that Mrs Tanner is in danger

0:02:42 > 0:02:44does not give us anything new to work with.

0:02:44 > 0:02:47But it doesn't make any sense that Nora would go away without telling Howard.

0:02:47 > 0:02:50Excuse me, Lieutenant. There's a pack of reporters outside.

0:02:50 > 0:02:53They say some lady psychic's giving a press conference.

0:02:53 > 0:02:55Thank you, Sergeant. Excuse me.

0:02:55 > 0:02:57This should've been cleared through me. I do not appreciate this!

0:02:57 > 0:03:00We'll force you to do something whether you like it or not!

0:03:00 > 0:03:03This is a police precinct, Tanner, and we'll handle this!

0:03:03 > 0:03:06Mrs Zal wanted some pictures.

0:03:06 > 0:03:11I know you have one Howard gave you, but this is a more recent picture.

0:03:11 > 0:03:12It's with her church choir.

0:03:12 > 0:03:15She wanted to sing opera when she was a girl.

0:03:15 > 0:03:18But she got married, you know.

0:03:18 > 0:03:22- Do you think it'll help?- Yes, ma'am. Thank you. You never can tell.

0:03:24 > 0:03:25ALL TALK AT ONCE

0:03:27 > 0:03:30She's the one who helped them find that body.

0:03:30 > 0:03:32- Yeah, the robbery, Victor. - I saw her on TV.

0:03:32 > 0:03:35She is not bad for an older woman.

0:03:35 > 0:03:36Money is not important here.

0:03:36 > 0:03:39What is important is that we find Nora Tanner.

0:03:39 > 0:03:41Will you be working with the police?

0:03:41 > 0:03:44I'm prepared to cooperate with any source. Spiritual or otherwise.

0:03:44 > 0:03:47In cases where I've assisted the police, they've been very helpful.

0:03:47 > 0:03:49She really knows how to put on a circus, doesn't she?

0:03:49 > 0:03:51Yeah. I guess it's going to wind up the clowns.

0:03:51 > 0:03:54Lieutenant, do you think she's been a victim of foul play?

0:03:54 > 0:03:56- No. We have no evidence of that. - I disagree.

0:03:56 > 0:03:59There is no question that Mrs Tanner's in danger. Grave danger.

0:03:59 > 0:04:00Do you think she's dead?

0:04:00 > 0:04:03The family has been kind enough to provide me with pictures.

0:04:03 > 0:04:06I'm hoping to get a reading.

0:04:10 > 0:04:12I see the New York skyline.

0:04:12 > 0:04:14I see Nora Tanner's face.

0:04:17 > 0:04:19I see...

0:04:19 > 0:04:21She's running.

0:04:24 > 0:04:27I'm sorry, Mr Tanner, your wife is frightened and she's being pursued.

0:04:29 > 0:04:32- And I see no escape. - Who's pursuing her?

0:04:39 > 0:04:41Thank you.

0:04:41 > 0:04:45- You want the last half of my egg salad?- What's wrong with it?

0:04:45 > 0:04:48Nothing's wrong with it, I'm just not hungry for it.

0:04:48 > 0:04:50Go ahead. Take the pickle, too.

0:04:50 > 0:04:53Somehow, I think it's more fitting that you keep the pickle.

0:04:53 > 0:04:55Nah, thanks. I don't like dill.

0:04:57 > 0:05:00I'll tell you what you don't like, Madam Zal.

0:05:00 > 0:05:03Excuse me, Mrs Zal.

0:05:03 > 0:05:06- Do you?- Hm. She's got style.

0:05:07 > 0:05:09Yeah, like a mad truck, she's got style!

0:05:09 > 0:05:11Coming in, taking over the entire quadrant,

0:05:11 > 0:05:13making money off of people's misery.

0:05:13 > 0:05:15Well, I'm going to made a prediction.

0:05:15 > 0:05:17I think she's going to fall flat on her face.

0:05:17 > 0:05:19- Let's go.- Ten seconds.

0:05:21 > 0:05:24Oh, sorry, I forgot. Kid has to have her calcium.

0:05:25 > 0:05:29- Her?- Why not? It could be a little girl.

0:05:30 > 0:05:35Then I could buy her pretty little smock dresses, you know those kind?

0:05:35 > 0:05:38Then later on, Auntie Christine can take her out carousing and drinking.

0:05:38 > 0:05:40Preferably with attractive young men.

0:05:40 > 0:05:43- That's reassuring, Christine.- Mm.

0:05:43 > 0:05:45You going to be a dirty old lady?

0:05:45 > 0:05:47Huh! Why not? Dirty young lady.

0:05:49 > 0:05:52- Through?- No.- OK.

0:05:54 > 0:05:58- Slow is better. Otherwise, burping. - All right.

0:06:00 > 0:06:03So I looked around, I didn't see anything missing.

0:06:03 > 0:06:06I thought maybe a good strong wind had set the alarm off.

0:06:06 > 0:06:07So I sent the cops home.

0:06:07 > 0:06:11Now I see my Elvis Presley memorial decanter is gone!

0:06:11 > 0:06:13What was it valued at, sir?

0:06:13 > 0:06:16Are you kidding? It was priceless.

0:06:19 > 0:06:22Well, once you take away all the sentimental value,

0:06:22 > 0:06:25it's worth about, er...800 bucks.

0:06:28 > 0:06:31- And you're an eyewitness?- Yep.

0:06:31 > 0:06:33Could you describe who you saw?

0:06:34 > 0:06:36Yep.

0:06:38 > 0:06:40Would you tell us what you saw?

0:06:40 > 0:06:45Oh, sure. He was all in silver and he sparkled.

0:06:45 > 0:06:47- Sparkled?- Yeah.

0:06:47 > 0:06:54And he wore this big belt of shiny gold, like a badge or something.

0:06:55 > 0:06:58Should I talk to one of them sketch artists?

0:06:58 > 0:07:01No, I don't think that will be necessary.

0:07:18 > 0:07:23You know, I think of everything you do, I hate missing persons the most.

0:07:23 > 0:07:25- I beg your pardon? - You know what I mean.

0:07:25 > 0:07:28- You take the whole thing too personally.- Don't start, Harv.

0:07:28 > 0:07:30I can't use you going into one of your theories on this.

0:07:30 > 0:07:32One of my theories, huh?

0:07:32 > 0:07:35You think it's a coincidence you get like this when you get a missing person?

0:07:35 > 0:07:38- I don't get like anything.- You don't, huh? Let me tell you something.

0:07:38 > 0:07:41You know and I know that every time you get one of these things,

0:07:41 > 0:07:43we are talking about your father.

0:07:43 > 0:07:46My father? Did you hear me say father?

0:07:46 > 0:07:49When did I ever mention father?

0:07:49 > 0:07:52Face it, Mary Beth, he's on your mind sometimes, is all.

0:07:52 > 0:07:55He took off and you never knew whether he was dead or what.

0:07:55 > 0:07:56He took off, Harv. Period.

0:07:56 > 0:07:59Selfish bastard. If he was dead, I'd know it.

0:07:59 > 0:08:01Oh, yeah? What are you, a gypsy seer?

0:08:01 > 0:08:02What are you, Sigmund Freud II?

0:08:02 > 0:08:06- I just know that every time you get one of these cases... - Change the subject, Harv.

0:08:07 > 0:08:10OK. Sure.

0:08:10 > 0:08:11Whatever you say, babe.

0:08:29 > 0:08:32- Come on, Mary Beth, you're getting me wet!- What am I wearing?

0:08:32 > 0:08:34- What are you wearing?- Mr Tanner couldn't even tell us

0:08:34 > 0:08:38what his wife was wearing the day she disappeared. What am I wearing?

0:08:38 > 0:08:40You're wearing...your, er...

0:08:40 > 0:08:42your blue pants and your yellow blouse.

0:08:46 > 0:08:48Well, I got the blue pants right.

0:08:49 > 0:08:53My yellow blouse? What yellow blouse? I don't even own a yellow blouse.

0:08:53 > 0:08:57Come on, Mary Beth, some things are just not important enough to remember.

0:08:57 > 0:08:59Oh, terrific! That's perfect, Harv.

0:08:59 > 0:09:02I could disappear tomorrow morning

0:09:02 > 0:09:04and you couldn't tell anybody what the hell I looked like!

0:09:04 > 0:09:06"What did she look like?" "Oh, I don't know.

0:09:06 > 0:09:09"She was a little short blonde woman with a yellow blouse."

0:09:09 > 0:09:11It's missing persons.

0:09:38 > 0:09:41I saw you on the Carson show the other night. You were terrific.

0:09:41 > 0:09:45- Thank you.- I couldn't believe you actually knew what was in the purse.

0:09:46 > 0:09:50- Can you predict something's going to happen before it does?- Sometimes.

0:09:52 > 0:09:56- Like, um...the sex of a baby. Can you predict that?- Very often.

0:09:58 > 0:10:01Or the birth weight, say, or even the date of birth?

0:10:01 > 0:10:04I'm sorry, Sergeant, I can't use my gift to further gambling.

0:10:04 > 0:10:06How'd you know I was talking about gambling?

0:10:06 > 0:10:08The Lacey baby.

0:10:08 > 0:10:12Detective Isbecki already asked if I had any hunches.

0:10:12 > 0:10:13Oh!

0:10:18 > 0:10:21Well, it looks to me like you did a very perfunctory job on this one.

0:10:21 > 0:10:23What's the matter? You getting tired?

0:10:23 > 0:10:25We're carrying 11 other cases.

0:10:25 > 0:10:27I'm telling the inspector, this one's a runaway.

0:10:27 > 0:10:29It's all there, the evidence, the profile.

0:10:29 > 0:10:32Did you check to see if this lady used her credit cards?

0:10:32 > 0:10:35Plane ticket, hotel, restaurants?

0:10:35 > 0:10:38We're not supposed to do that unless there's evidence of a crime.

0:10:38 > 0:10:40Inspector, I have been following this case very closely

0:10:40 > 0:10:43and believe me, they have played it right down the line.

0:10:43 > 0:10:48I see. So now we have a psychic and the media to contend with.

0:10:48 > 0:10:51Bert, you remember that Steve McCarthy case, don't you?

0:10:51 > 0:10:56Yeah. Who was in charge of that? Oh, Taylor, wasn't it, down at the 12th?

0:10:56 > 0:10:58Well, the family called in a psychic

0:10:58 > 0:11:01and the psychic said the boy would be found in a lake.

0:11:01 > 0:11:02Well, everybody laughed.

0:11:02 > 0:11:05That was until the body was found in the middle of Lake Placid.

0:11:05 > 0:11:09Now, the paper ran that how many days? Five, six?

0:11:09 > 0:11:14And as I recall, Taylor was asked to take a very early retirement.

0:11:14 > 0:11:17Well, that's not going to happen here, is it, Bert?

0:11:17 > 0:11:22- You want us to work with the psychic, sir?- Oh! You just read my mind.

0:11:24 > 0:11:26She just read my mind.

0:11:26 > 0:11:27Have a good day.

0:11:30 > 0:11:33We were just making headway on the Godfrey homicide!

0:11:33 > 0:11:36Turn it over to Aspermonte and Kaysaker.

0:11:36 > 0:11:38Knelman wants you to work with the psychic,

0:11:38 > 0:11:41- you work with the psychic!- Yes.

0:11:50 > 0:11:53There is no reason for us to be adversaries. Thank you.

0:11:53 > 0:11:56We all want the same thing, which is to find Nora Tanner.

0:11:56 > 0:11:58That sideshow in here yesterday with the reporters,

0:11:58 > 0:12:00is that part of the way you work?

0:12:00 > 0:12:02Detective, we all have an image to present.

0:12:02 > 0:12:05For me, people expect something a little more out of the ordinary

0:12:05 > 0:12:07and they're disappointed if they don't get it.

0:12:07 > 0:12:10Well, we're not here to please your friends, Mrs Zal.

0:12:10 > 0:12:12- This is our job. - Now it's my job, too.

0:12:14 > 0:12:16If you just keep an open mind, you'll find me reasonable

0:12:16 > 0:12:19- and easy to work with. - Is that an official prediction?

0:12:19 > 0:12:21The lieutenant said you have further information for us, ma'am.

0:12:21 > 0:12:23Yes.

0:12:23 > 0:12:25I saw Nora Tanner this morning.

0:12:27 > 0:12:28When I woke up.

0:12:29 > 0:12:32She was in a grassy area surrounded by trees.

0:12:32 > 0:12:35Terrific. Now, yesterday you saw the New York skyline.

0:12:35 > 0:12:38I can't pretend to reconcile the two. I simply see what I see.

0:12:42 > 0:12:44Nora was in this place outdoors.

0:12:46 > 0:12:48And there were horses all around.

0:12:49 > 0:12:52I called Mr Tanner to find out if Nora had any connection to horses.

0:12:52 > 0:12:54He said no.

0:12:55 > 0:12:57That makes it all that much more strange.

0:13:00 > 0:13:01Yes, ma'am.

0:13:05 > 0:13:09Well...thank you for the information.

0:13:09 > 0:13:11I'm not finished, Detective.

0:13:13 > 0:13:15I saw many, many horses.

0:13:16 > 0:13:19And I had a very strong sense of Nora Tanner

0:13:19 > 0:13:22being trampled to death by horses.

0:13:33 > 0:13:35WHINNYING

0:13:40 > 0:13:44Now, this has been terrific, Christine, slogging through stables.

0:13:44 > 0:13:45Look at my shoe!

0:13:45 > 0:13:48You have to admit, Mary Beth, Central Park does have trees,

0:13:48 > 0:13:50- grass and horses.- Hm.

0:13:50 > 0:13:53Where else in New York are we going to find trees, grass and horses?

0:13:53 > 0:13:57Aqueduct. Roosevelt Raceway. We can go through 10, 12 pair of shoes.

0:13:57 > 0:13:59Great(!)

0:14:00 > 0:14:03I hate this. We're in a no-win situation.

0:14:03 > 0:14:05No matter what we do, we're going to end up looking stupid.

0:14:07 > 0:14:10We find the lady, they're going to say, "See, the psychic was right!"

0:14:10 > 0:14:14We don't find the lady, they're going to say, "See, they were stupid!"

0:14:15 > 0:14:18I don't know why we're even bothering. The woman is a runaway.

0:14:18 > 0:14:20Probably had every good reason.

0:14:20 > 0:14:23To take off without a word is a very selfish thing to do.

0:14:25 > 0:14:27- You left home once.- For one day.

0:14:27 > 0:14:3024 hours in 14 years we've known each other!

0:14:30 > 0:14:33And I suffered from guilt the whole time and I called Harvey

0:14:33 > 0:14:36and this is something else altogether.

0:14:36 > 0:14:39You also came home because you wanted to. You had a choice.

0:14:39 > 0:14:43This woman has a choice, but for some reason, she just doesn't want to go home.

0:14:43 > 0:14:46What I'm saying is it's not fair to her family. She has responsibilities.

0:14:46 > 0:14:48She can't go around thinking only about herself.

0:14:48 > 0:14:51It's not quite the same thing. She does not have a child at home

0:14:51 > 0:14:54and if she's in a bad relationship, I say good for her for getting out.

0:14:54 > 0:14:56A lot of women stay too long.

0:14:56 > 0:15:00The trouble with you is you don't understand about responsibilities and commitment.

0:15:00 > 0:15:04I understand perfectly. That's why I'm single.

0:15:09 > 0:15:11- Thank you.- You're welcome.

0:15:20 > 0:15:23We know she's not in the morgue, we know she's not in the hospital.

0:15:23 > 0:15:26We know she took her clothes and cosmetics from home

0:15:26 > 0:15:29- and a picture of her son in the Marines.- Yeah.

0:15:29 > 0:15:33Did you see how her mother started to cry when she saw that empty picture frame?

0:15:33 > 0:15:35And Madam Zal uses that.

0:15:35 > 0:15:39Takes advantage of it. Charging that woman 25,000.

0:15:39 > 0:15:41Some sweet racket she's got.

0:15:43 > 0:15:45Well, the woman has had some success.

0:15:45 > 0:15:49She found that boy in Europe, she's helped the police with seven cases.

0:15:49 > 0:15:53- She was wrong in three of them. - That's better than 50/50.

0:15:53 > 0:15:55I bet she still collected the money.

0:15:55 > 0:15:57- You don't believe in that psychic garbage, do you?- No.

0:15:58 > 0:16:00I went to one once.

0:16:00 > 0:16:03She said I was going to get married, live on a farm and have four kids.

0:16:03 > 0:16:06- You think it's too late? - Never too late, Christine.

0:16:33 > 0:16:35- Honey?- Coming, babe.

0:16:40 > 0:16:44Tan sweater, tan dress, tan shoes, golden earrings.

0:16:45 > 0:16:48- What else?- What else?

0:16:48 > 0:16:49What else?

0:16:49 > 0:16:54Oh, OK, er...the boys ate dinner and don't worry about the dishes.

0:16:54 > 0:16:57Harvey Junior can take care of them before he goes to school tomorrow.

0:16:57 > 0:17:00- Forget about the dishes, what about you? Where are you going?- Tuesday.

0:17:00 > 0:17:03- BOTH: Bowling night. - See you at midnight.

0:17:03 > 0:17:05- Honey?- The guys are waiting, hon.

0:17:05 > 0:17:08Harv? What would you say if I asked you to skip bowling tonight?

0:17:08 > 0:17:10What's the matter?

0:17:10 > 0:17:13It's the missing persons case. Something's wrong at work.

0:17:13 > 0:17:15No, not work.

0:17:15 > 0:17:18Everything OK with the baby? You feeling all right?

0:17:18 > 0:17:21Harv, what I'm feeling like is talking.

0:17:22 > 0:17:25Talking? What about?

0:17:27 > 0:17:30Maybe we'll think of something, Harv.

0:17:30 > 0:17:34Am I the only one feeling like we've been passing each other like ships in the night?

0:17:34 > 0:17:37Oh, no, not last night, babe. Last night, the ships collided.

0:17:37 > 0:17:39Well, that's cute, Harv,

0:17:39 > 0:17:42but one collision out of every ten days is not enough. It's...

0:17:42 > 0:17:46We need to spend more time together. We need to talk to each other more.

0:17:49 > 0:17:51You're right.

0:17:51 > 0:17:53Let's talk.

0:18:05 > 0:18:07You first.

0:18:20 > 0:18:23The guys are waiting, Harv.

0:18:23 > 0:18:26The guys are waiting. The guys are waiting, Harv.

0:18:27 > 0:18:29I'll see you at midnight.

0:18:46 > 0:18:49- You almost finished?- Five minutes tops.- Well, hurry it up.

0:18:49 > 0:18:52We've got a man out there stealing Elvis Presley memorabilia

0:18:52 > 0:18:54and we've got to get him off the streets.

0:18:56 > 0:18:59- You said their son enlisted in the Marines six months ago, right?- Yeah.

0:18:59 > 0:19:02The same month that she opened a checking account in her own name.

0:19:02 > 0:19:06The son leaves and she starts to feel like there's no reason for her to stay.

0:19:06 > 0:19:10OK. So she opens a checking account, saves up enough money and then she takes off.

0:19:10 > 0:19:13I'd like to know where she got that kind of money.

0:19:13 > 0:19:15Maybe she was skimming from her household allowance.

0:19:15 > 0:19:18- That?- A little bit each week, it adds up.

0:19:18 > 0:19:20Wait, look at this.

0:19:20 > 0:19:23Credit card charge from a hotel in Burlington, Vermont two weeks ago.

0:19:23 > 0:19:25Get the hard copy and check the signature.

0:19:25 > 0:19:29We'll call the police in Burlington, see if the woman matches Nora's description.

0:19:29 > 0:19:32I hope they get back to us before Madam Zal has another hot flash.

0:19:32 > 0:19:34- Your turn.- Thanks.

0:19:34 > 0:19:39OK, Jimmy, when last seen, our perp was wearing a silver jumpsuit.

0:19:39 > 0:19:41I see a man.

0:19:42 > 0:19:45And he...he's robed.

0:19:45 > 0:19:48No. It's a coat.

0:19:50 > 0:19:52It's a white coat.

0:19:52 > 0:19:54I'm sure.

0:19:55 > 0:19:58Look for a man in a white coat.

0:19:58 > 0:20:00Know anything about a Nora Tanner?

0:20:00 > 0:20:03Sorry, lady. You want the ice cream, or not?

0:20:03 > 0:20:05Yeah.

0:20:05 > 0:20:07Yes, Harvey Lacey, please.

0:20:07 > 0:20:09Excuse me?

0:20:10 > 0:20:13No, I'm not the woman that called 15 minutes ago.

0:20:13 > 0:20:15His wife, who's this?

0:20:17 > 0:20:18Well...

0:20:18 > 0:20:21When he comes back, would you please tell him that his wife called?

0:20:21 > 0:20:25Yes. And would you ask him to please bring home a dozen eggs

0:20:25 > 0:20:27and a quart of apple juice?

0:20:27 > 0:20:29On his way home, yes.

0:20:29 > 0:20:32Thank you very much.

0:20:35 > 0:20:37Thank you very much.

0:20:41 > 0:20:46So, what do you think? How many men in New York wear white coats to work, Mary Beth, huh? 100,000?

0:20:46 > 0:20:48Maybe more.

0:20:48 > 0:20:50We've talked to her doctor, pharmacist, her dentist,

0:20:50 > 0:20:54not to mention the grilling I just gave the tutti-frutti man.

0:20:54 > 0:20:57That leaves us 99,996 to go.

0:20:59 > 0:21:01You'd think the husband would know she's a runaway.

0:21:01 > 0:21:04How can you not know when your marriage is in trouble?

0:21:04 > 0:21:06- There's signs, right? - Not always that simple.

0:21:06 > 0:21:09Come on, Mary Beth - you'd know if Harvey, something was wrong with him. Course you would.

0:21:09 > 0:21:12How can a person live with somebody and not know there's something wrong?

0:21:20 > 0:21:23- RADIO:- 'All units 1030, possible homicide.

0:21:23 > 0:21:25'Vicinity, Central Park carousel.

0:21:25 > 0:21:30'All units in vicinity respond, repeat, the Central Park carousel.'

0:21:31 > 0:21:33394 responding. We're on our way.

0:22:13 > 0:22:17Your prediction has come true, Mrs Zal. How does that make you feel?

0:22:17 > 0:22:20Terribly sorry for the family, they have my deepest sympathies,

0:22:20 > 0:22:23but I saw bad signs here from the beginning.

0:22:23 > 0:22:26If you people had looked for Nora when I asked you to,

0:22:26 > 0:22:29- this wouldn't have happened. - Howard, please.

0:22:29 > 0:22:32I don't know how to help you any more than we already have.

0:22:32 > 0:22:34Where were you last night, Mr Tanner?

0:22:35 > 0:22:38- I told you, I worked the night shift.- All night, sir?

0:22:38 > 0:22:42- You didn't take any breaks? - I don't know... An hour, maybe.

0:22:42 > 0:22:45- Did you go anywhere? - No.

0:22:45 > 0:22:46Are you sure, sir?

0:22:46 > 0:22:49- Not even for a bite to eat?- What's the matter, you don't believe me?

0:22:49 > 0:22:51No, it's not that, sir.

0:22:51 > 0:22:53In these cases, we have to ask the family first.

0:22:53 > 0:22:55Look, lady - I don't understand this.

0:22:55 > 0:22:59I've been after you people for weeks to find my wife.

0:22:59 > 0:23:00To find my wife!

0:23:00 > 0:23:03And now my wife is dead! And you...

0:23:03 > 0:23:07You've got nothing better to do than give me the third-degree?

0:23:07 > 0:23:10I've had it up to here with you people.

0:23:11 > 0:23:15I'm sorry, he doesn't know what he's saying. He's so upset.

0:23:15 > 0:23:19- He loved Nora very much. - Yes, ma'am. We understand that.

0:23:35 > 0:23:39- No, you don't, Mary Beth. - Harvey, what are you doing there?

0:23:39 > 0:23:42- No, you don't. Not till you give me the magic words.- Harvey...

0:23:42 > 0:23:45What am I wearing, Mary Beth?

0:23:45 > 0:23:47I'm not in the mood for jokes, Harv, OK?

0:23:47 > 0:23:50- Come on, Mary Beth - what I wearing? - Would you quit teasing?

0:23:50 > 0:23:53Oh, no. You want your hard-working husband

0:23:53 > 0:23:55feeling like you've been taking him for granted lately?

0:23:55 > 0:23:58- What have- I- got on?- Um...

0:23:59 > 0:24:02You're wearing a...

0:24:02 > 0:24:04Blue plaid shirt, the one that I mended the pocket last week

0:24:04 > 0:24:07and a white T-shirt underneath and grey pants

0:24:07 > 0:24:09and a brown cowhide belt with, um...

0:24:09 > 0:24:13What do you call it, a tarnished belt buckle, right? How am I doing?

0:24:13 > 0:24:16- Right, huh?- Not bad. Not bad, Mary Beth.

0:24:16 > 0:24:19But not good enough.

0:24:22 > 0:24:24That's very funny, Harv.

0:24:26 > 0:24:29I called you at work today. They said you were out or something.

0:24:29 > 0:24:32Or busy with all your phone calls or something. You get my message?

0:24:32 > 0:24:35Mary Beth, I am sorry. I just got a little mixed up.

0:24:35 > 0:24:38I didn't know whether you wanted milk and eggs,

0:24:38 > 0:24:39juice or eggs or cereal.

0:24:39 > 0:24:42My mom called and she was a little bit under the weather

0:24:42 > 0:24:46and she wanted me to get a couple of things from the store too.

0:24:46 > 0:24:49- Muriel called you? Muriel called before I called?- Yeah.

0:24:50 > 0:24:55Oh, that's wonderful. That's wonderful, Harv.

0:24:56 > 0:24:57Muriel calls me every week.

0:24:57 > 0:25:00If it makes you this happy, I'll have her call me every day.

0:25:00 > 0:25:03- Morning and night.- For you, babe.

0:25:10 > 0:25:13Mary Beth, don't you think you've been wearing a little bit too

0:25:13 > 0:25:14much make-up lately?

0:25:14 > 0:25:16Hm?

0:25:30 > 0:25:33Could you give us some more information, Mr Lundsford?

0:25:33 > 0:25:37It's been four months since somebody ripped off the jumpsuit.

0:25:37 > 0:25:40I didn't have the heart to take the dummy down.

0:25:40 > 0:25:43I kept feeling maybe the jumpsuit would come back, like Elvis himself.

0:25:43 > 0:25:45Can you describe this jumpsuit?

0:25:47 > 0:25:50Can I describe the jumpsuit?

0:25:50 > 0:25:52Did the King have hits?

0:25:53 > 0:25:56Of course I can describe the jumpsuit.

0:25:56 > 0:25:58He wore it in '69.

0:25:58 > 0:26:01Vegas appearance. It was the second appearance.

0:26:01 > 0:26:04All the stars came out that night, gentlemen, let me tell you.

0:26:04 > 0:26:08You had your George Hamiltons, your Minnie Pearls,

0:26:08 > 0:26:11your Tom Joneses, your Sammy Davis's Juniors.

0:26:11 > 0:26:14Mr Lundsford, the jumpsuit - what did it look like?

0:26:14 > 0:26:16It was silver!

0:26:17 > 0:26:19It had sequins all over it.

0:26:19 > 0:26:21Pearls.

0:26:21 > 0:26:24He sparkled like a Roman candle when he wore it!

0:26:24 > 0:26:28You know who he did that for, gentlemen, don't you?

0:26:28 > 0:26:29The man in the back row.

0:26:30 > 0:26:32Boy, that man cared about everybody.

0:26:32 > 0:26:34Did he wear a belt buckle with this suit?

0:26:34 > 0:26:37Did Elvis love his mother? Of course!

0:26:37 > 0:26:39It was a gold-studded sheriff's badge with a six,

0:26:39 > 0:26:41diamonds encrusted all over it...

0:26:43 > 0:26:45Where you guys been?

0:26:45 > 0:26:48Mr Lundsford, do you know of anyone who seemed particularly

0:26:48 > 0:26:50interested in that jumpsuit?

0:26:50 > 0:26:53The Elvis impersonators, they'd love to get their hands on it -

0:26:53 > 0:26:56they say it gives them inspiration.

0:26:56 > 0:26:58But none of them could afford it.

0:26:58 > 0:27:01- Elvis impersonators?- Yeah.

0:27:01 > 0:27:03The town's lousy with them.

0:27:17 > 0:27:19Cagney!

0:27:19 > 0:27:23Preliminary forensics report on Nora Tanner. Cause of death, strangulation, but you know what?

0:27:23 > 0:27:26They found traces of blood on her neck. Now, my theory...

0:27:26 > 0:27:29I'm perfectly capable of reading and interpreting that myself -

0:27:29 > 0:27:31- may I have it, please? - Cagney - important.

0:27:31 > 0:27:33He also found carpet fibres on her nylons - now,

0:27:33 > 0:27:37my hunch is that's the key to the case. If you're smart, Cagney, you'll follow that led.

0:27:37 > 0:27:40It's Sergeant Cagney, now give it to me.

0:27:41 > 0:27:44Check with the psychic - ten-to-one she says I'm right.

0:27:46 > 0:27:47Where's Lacey?

0:27:47 > 0:27:49She called and said she'd be a little late this morning,

0:27:49 > 0:27:52- Lieutenant.- Morning sickness? - I don't think so.

0:27:52 > 0:27:53Well, she's got easy duty today.

0:27:53 > 0:27:57This afternoon, you two are going to make a little house call. A Madam Zal.

0:27:57 > 0:28:00This morning she wants you to go by the grocery, the victim's place

0:28:00 > 0:28:03of employment, she thinks the killer is somebody Mrs Tanner worked with.

0:28:03 > 0:28:05It'll all be in the papers this afternoon.

0:28:05 > 0:28:07What is she, the new Commissioner?

0:28:07 > 0:28:09- I just got the forensics report, I've got to check it out.- Later.

0:28:09 > 0:28:12Newman's orders - you follow the psychic's lead.

0:28:12 > 0:28:16Oh, and if you run into anyone suspicious, she wants you to...

0:28:16 > 0:28:19- Bring something of theirs back. - For what?- For a reading, for what.

0:28:22 > 0:28:24You're kidding?! What am I supposed to say?

0:28:24 > 0:28:28Excuse me, could I have maybe a lock of your hair as a souvenir of our meeting?

0:28:28 > 0:28:33Hey, Cagney, you're a sergeant now. You will think of something to say.

0:28:35 > 0:28:36Yes, Lieutenant.

0:28:53 > 0:28:54I always liked Nora.

0:28:57 > 0:29:01- She was different from the other people here.- Different?

0:29:01 > 0:29:04- How was she different? - She talked to me.

0:29:06 > 0:29:08She was special.

0:29:13 > 0:29:18Sometimes I'd take my break the same time she took hers.

0:29:18 > 0:29:21- Just so we could talk. - What did you talk about?- Life.

0:29:24 > 0:29:29Things we wanted to do, things we knew we'd probably never get to do.

0:29:30 > 0:29:34I'm going to miss her. She was probably the best friend I had.

0:29:36 > 0:29:40Eli, did you ever want to be more than, you know, just friends?

0:29:41 > 0:29:44She couldn't. She was married.

0:29:47 > 0:29:50Anyway, she didn't have time for me.

0:29:50 > 0:29:52- She had another job.- Another job?

0:29:55 > 0:29:59She worked as a cocktail waitress in this bar on Third Avenue.

0:30:02 > 0:30:06- I took a cab once and I followed her.- Why did you follow her?

0:30:08 > 0:30:09I liked her.

0:30:09 > 0:30:12I thought it would be fun if I just showed up as a surprise.

0:30:15 > 0:30:19I scared her. She really panicked when she saw me.

0:30:20 > 0:30:23- She pleaded with me not to tell anyone.- And did you?

0:30:23 > 0:30:27No, of course not. It was our secret.

0:30:28 > 0:30:32- Where did you say that bar was, Eli?- 86th and Third.

0:30:33 > 0:30:36Well, Eli - you've been a big help to us.

0:30:36 > 0:30:39- I wonder if I might just ask you one more question.- Yes.

0:30:39 > 0:30:41Could I...

0:30:42 > 0:30:44Could I borrow your name tag?

0:30:46 > 0:30:50- I'll mail it back tomorrow morning. - Um...

0:30:52 > 0:30:55- I guess it's OK.- Great. Thanks.

0:30:58 > 0:31:02- Thank you.- Do you want me to get you one with your name on it?

0:31:02 > 0:31:04Oh, well...

0:31:04 > 0:31:07That's all right. This will be just fine.

0:31:07 > 0:31:09Thank you.

0:31:09 > 0:31:13- Thank you.- Bye!- Bye. - See the white coat?

0:31:13 > 0:31:15I'm pregnant, Christine, not blind.

0:31:20 > 0:31:22Yes, sure - I remember her.

0:31:22 > 0:31:25She called herself Yvonne Webber. Now, will you ladies excuse me?

0:31:25 > 0:31:27I've got to get ready for the lunch trade.

0:31:27 > 0:31:29We're pushing for the white wine crowd, you know?

0:31:29 > 0:31:32- When was the last time you saw her?- About a month ago.

0:31:32 > 0:31:37- That's when she quit. - Did she say why she was quitting?- No.

0:31:37 > 0:31:41But I knew right from the beginning it wasn't going to work out.

0:31:41 > 0:31:44She could only work when her old man was on the nightshift.

0:31:44 > 0:31:47She didn't want him to know about the job. Asked to be paid in cash.

0:31:47 > 0:31:50What kind of a guy doesn't want his wife to work?

0:31:50 > 0:31:54- Mr Roedl, did you ever see her leave with a customer?- No.

0:31:54 > 0:31:57- She was real clean.- Did you ever go out with her?- Nah.

0:31:57 > 0:32:00I like to stay away from the married ones. Who needs the aggravation?

0:32:00 > 0:32:04- Yeah.- Are you married, honey? - Four kids.

0:32:04 > 0:32:07- We live on a farm.- Pity.

0:32:07 > 0:32:10- Thank you, Mr Roedl.- Sure. - Thank you.- Bye, now.

0:32:15 > 0:32:21- Christine!- I'll return it tomorrow! Morning. First thing.- Uh-huh.

0:32:25 > 0:32:30- Next up, Madam Zal's.- I hope her apartment doesn't smell of incense.

0:32:36 > 0:32:38This one sees himself as a ladies' man.

0:32:38 > 0:32:42He thinks of himself as wild and dangerous.

0:32:42 > 0:32:43He's relatively harmless.

0:32:43 > 0:32:45Let me see the other one.

0:32:48 > 0:32:49Thank you.

0:32:51 > 0:32:53I see he works in a grocery store.

0:32:53 > 0:32:57- Yes, that's a tough one. - This man is in great pain.

0:32:59 > 0:33:03There's something very disturbing to him about Nora's death.

0:33:04 > 0:33:06And he's confused...

0:33:07 > 0:33:09Scared. He's very, very scared.

0:33:09 > 0:33:12You should talk to this man immediately,

0:33:12 > 0:33:14he knows something he's not telling you.

0:33:14 > 0:33:16We're running a computer check on him.

0:33:17 > 0:33:22I guess we could make a call and see if anything came through.

0:33:23 > 0:33:26- May I use your phone?- Sure.

0:33:26 > 0:33:28GIRL'S VOICE ON PHONE

0:33:28 > 0:33:30(Excuse me.)

0:33:30 > 0:33:32Carol, honey?

0:33:33 > 0:33:34Carol!

0:33:36 > 0:33:37Excuse me.

0:33:41 > 0:33:42- Carol!- Mom, I'm talking to...

0:33:42 > 0:33:45Fine, sweetheart, but just tell him you'll call him back in five minutes.

0:33:45 > 0:33:47He asked me to go to the prom.

0:33:47 > 0:33:50I want you to get off the phone and I'm not going to tell you again, now!

0:33:55 > 0:33:58Teenagers. They're so...

0:33:58 > 0:34:00Unpredictable.

0:34:00 > 0:34:03There's another phone in the kitchen if you'd like some privacy.

0:34:03 > 0:34:07Thank you. Excuse me.

0:34:14 > 0:34:16Detective Lacey... You've got two boys, right?

0:34:18 > 0:34:20How did you know that?

0:34:20 > 0:34:25- You told me. At the station, remember?- Oh, yeah.

0:34:25 > 0:34:28- You pregnant again?- Yeah.

0:34:28 > 0:34:32- May I have something of yours to hold?- Huh?

0:34:32 > 0:34:34We can find out if you can have a daughter this time.

0:34:36 > 0:34:39- No, thank you.- Oh!

0:34:39 > 0:34:42You don't believe in any of this stuff, do you, Detective?

0:34:44 > 0:34:47Madam Zal, what I don't believe in is charging people

0:34:47 > 0:34:5025,000 for a service like yours.

0:34:51 > 0:34:55In my opinion, I think you're taking advantage of people's troubles.

0:34:55 > 0:35:00I'm no fly-by-night gypsy, Detective. I have a gift.

0:35:00 > 0:35:04In our society, people who have gifts are well paid.

0:35:04 > 0:35:07Why should I apologise for making half as much money as someone

0:35:07 > 0:35:11who's only talent is that he can throw a real tight spiral on a Sunday afternoon?

0:35:11 > 0:35:15Eli was in a mental hospital last year.

0:35:15 > 0:35:19And up until five years ago, he lived in Burlington, Vermont.

0:35:26 > 0:35:29- Did you take these? Did you take these pictures...?- Yes! Yes!

0:35:29 > 0:35:31It was the only way that I could have her with me.

0:35:31 > 0:35:35- I wanted to be close to her. It was the only way I could have her with me.- Is this your diary, Eli?

0:35:35 > 0:35:39- What are you doing with that? - How about this? Did you write, "I want her all to myself.

0:35:39 > 0:35:41"I cannot share her any longer, why won't she take me seriously?"

0:35:41 > 0:35:46- What did you mean by that?- Just what it says. Look, I loved her.

0:35:46 > 0:35:49She wouldn't believe that... I warned her, but she wouldn't listen.

0:35:49 > 0:35:53She wouldn't listen to you - did that make you angry, Eli? Huh?

0:35:53 > 0:35:56What did you do? What did you do to make her listen to you?

0:35:56 > 0:36:00Let me tell you - you wrote four days later, "Nora is having an affair. I know it."

0:36:00 > 0:36:03With whom, Eli, huh? What did you do to punish her?

0:36:03 > 0:36:05Did you punish her for that?

0:36:05 > 0:36:07Eli...

0:36:07 > 0:36:09Tell me about Burlington, Vermont.

0:36:12 > 0:36:15Eli... Burlington, Vermont.

0:36:18 > 0:36:23God, it was nice there. It was quiet. It was peaceful.

0:36:23 > 0:36:25It was safe.

0:36:27 > 0:36:30I told Nora about it. Oh, I knew she could be happy there.

0:36:32 > 0:36:35And you took her there.

0:36:35 > 0:36:36I wanted to.

0:36:37 > 0:36:39I wanted to be there with her.

0:36:39 > 0:36:42Were you, Eli? Were you there with her?

0:36:42 > 0:36:46Don't you get it? I loved her.

0:36:47 > 0:36:49I'll always love her.

0:36:54 > 0:36:56I could never hurt her.

0:37:08 > 0:37:11I'll always love her.

0:37:11 > 0:37:12HE SOBS

0:37:19 > 0:37:22Take your time. Look at each man closely,

0:37:22 > 0:37:25we want you to be positive before you identify anybody.

0:37:31 > 0:37:34I'd like a closer look at number three.

0:37:35 > 0:37:38Number three, would you step forward, please?

0:37:38 > 0:37:40I never thought being good-looking

0:37:40 > 0:37:43and having a great body would be a curse.

0:37:53 > 0:37:59I'm not sure. Will you have him sing You Ain't Nothing But A Hound Dog?

0:38:10 > 0:38:12Michael, what time did Daddy call?

0:38:12 > 0:38:14Well, did he say how late he'd be?

0:38:14 > 0:38:16I don't need to see the entire report,

0:38:16 > 0:38:19just a few pieces of information, Reuben - help us out here.

0:38:19 > 0:38:21I don't want to start a precedent.

0:38:21 > 0:38:23- Oh, Reuben!- No!- Please!

0:38:23 > 0:38:25Ahhh.

0:38:25 > 0:38:27All right.

0:38:33 > 0:38:35This is a copy of the ME's report.

0:38:35 > 0:38:37I don't suppose you've seen that one, either?

0:38:37 > 0:38:39Actually, we were on our way over there,

0:38:39 > 0:38:42- doesn't seem like we'll have time... - OK, OK.

0:38:42 > 0:38:45Looks like she was killed by a man. A strong one at that.

0:38:45 > 0:38:47Broke her thyroid cartilage and the hyoid bone.

0:38:47 > 0:38:49What about the fibres in her nylons?

0:38:49 > 0:38:50It was from an industrial carpet,

0:38:50 > 0:38:52the type used in old model GM vehicles.

0:38:52 > 0:38:54Think she was strangled in the car?

0:38:54 > 0:38:56Uh-huh.

0:38:56 > 0:38:59No, you may not have ice cream after dinner.

0:38:59 > 0:39:02Because it rots your teeth is why.

0:39:02 > 0:39:04And turn off the TV, Michael.

0:39:04 > 0:39:06No TV on school nights.

0:39:06 > 0:39:08Read a book. Goodbye, Michael.

0:39:09 > 0:39:10Did you get anything?

0:39:10 > 0:39:13Yes, she was killed somewhere else and transported by car.

0:39:13 > 0:39:16- What about the blood on her neck? - You're going to love this.

0:39:16 > 0:39:21- It's from an animal.- Like, from a horse?- No, like, from a cow.

0:39:24 > 0:39:28And then they came back to me and asked me to sing Don't Be Cruel.

0:39:28 > 0:39:29So you really looked like the perp, huh?

0:39:29 > 0:39:32No, the guy said afterwards once he heard number six sing,

0:39:32 > 0:39:35he knew it was him. But he liked my voice, though.

0:39:35 > 0:39:37Said I could have a future in show business.

0:39:37 > 0:39:41This just came through. An airplane reservation for the Tanner woman.

0:39:44 > 0:39:47She flew from Burlington to New York on the night she was killed.

0:39:47 > 0:39:50- What time did she get in?- 11.00pm.

0:39:50 > 0:39:52She was killed approximately 1.00am...

0:39:52 > 0:39:55So what happened in those two hours?

0:39:56 > 0:39:57Mary Beth!

0:39:57 > 0:39:59TOILET FLUSHES

0:39:59 > 0:40:00Yes?

0:40:00 > 0:40:02Eli might have been watching her apartment.

0:40:02 > 0:40:04He'd know when she came home.

0:40:06 > 0:40:08Maybe she didn't want to go home and she went to the bar,

0:40:08 > 0:40:11where she had friends, and that leaves us with a bartender.

0:40:16 > 0:40:19- Mary Beth, there's another possibility.- Oh, swell.

0:40:19 > 0:40:22That makes nine. I suggest we call it a night, Sergeant.

0:40:22 > 0:40:24Listen, in a normal case of a murdered runaway wife,

0:40:24 > 0:40:27- who is the prime suspect? - The husband.- Uh-huh.

0:40:27 > 0:40:30- Only we never considered him.- Right. Because if he was planning to murder her,

0:40:30 > 0:40:33why would he bring in a psychic with a big reputation?

0:40:33 > 0:40:36Because maybe he wasn't planning the murder. Maybe he really didn't know where she was

0:40:36 > 0:40:39when he hired the psychic - maybe we've been right all along?

0:40:39 > 0:40:41Nora Tanner WAS a runaway.

0:40:43 > 0:40:47And she couldn't stay in hiding because of all the publicity.

0:40:47 > 0:40:51- So she comes home, they have a big fight...- And he kills her.

0:40:51 > 0:40:53And he plants her body at the carousel to make

0:40:53 > 0:40:56- the prediction come true. - Prove it.

0:40:56 > 0:40:58How about the car fibres? Tanner's a truck driver, isn't he?

0:40:58 > 0:41:01- Does he have a car?- The mother-in-law does.- We called her.

0:41:01 > 0:41:05- She loaned it to him that night. - And guess where he works? - This is the kicker.

0:41:05 > 0:41:07He drives a truck for a meatpacking company on 10th Avenue.

0:41:07 > 0:41:09Huh?

0:41:10 > 0:41:12Animal blood.

0:41:34 > 0:41:38Isn't it kind of late for two pretty ladies like you to be out?

0:41:38 > 0:41:43- We're the police. We're looking for a Howard Tanner.- Oh, er...sure.

0:41:43 > 0:41:48- Loading dock 16. He's packing a shipment.- Thank you.- Thank you.

0:42:12 > 0:42:14Mr Tanner?

0:42:15 > 0:42:17Detective Lacey, Mr Tanner.

0:42:17 > 0:42:19CLUNK, MACHINERY WHIRS

0:43:40 > 0:43:42ENGINE STARTS

0:43:45 > 0:43:49HE REVS ENGINE MENACINGLY

0:44:01 > 0:44:02Tanner...

0:44:21 > 0:44:24I didn't mean to kill her. I loved her.

0:44:27 > 0:44:30How could she leave me like that? How could she leave me?

0:44:30 > 0:44:32HE SOBS

0:44:39 > 0:44:41As I announced at the press conference the very first day

0:44:41 > 0:44:45NYPD brought me on the case, Nora Tanner was running for her life.

0:44:46 > 0:44:48There was no escape.

0:44:48 > 0:44:51Tragically, it was just as I had predicted.

0:44:51 > 0:44:55- "Just as she had predicted." - Hey, the lady has a gift.
