0:05:20 > 0:05:22- What kept you? - The lousy bus.

0:05:22 > 0:05:25- Where did you leave the car? - Outside Fresno, Route 99.

0:05:25 > 0:05:29OK, OK! They found it. The scam just came in on the radio.

0:05:29 > 0:05:33What did I say? They'll fall for the whole deal. It's the way it is.

0:05:33 > 0:05:36- Maybe they'll buy it. We've the federal fuzz on us this time.- So?

0:05:36 > 0:05:40Who cares? When they start picking up all those hot twenties

0:05:40 > 0:05:45I've been dropping off, they'll lose their minds. They're going to flip.

0:05:45 > 0:05:46Look at us living in this pad,

0:05:46 > 0:05:50a block and a half away from where we pulled a job. Class.

0:05:50 > 0:05:53What about them headlines? We're big news. Front page every one -

0:05:55 > 0:05:58- Shut up? Sure, sure. - "Two bank robbers stage

0:05:58 > 0:06:00- "daring daylight hold-up." - How about that?

0:06:00 > 0:06:03Huh? Daring. Daring.

0:06:03 > 0:06:07"Two armed men wearing masks robbed the North Valley bank early today."

0:06:07 > 0:06:09I gotta look.

0:06:09 > 0:06:12"They seized the teller, Miss Miller, to shield their getaway."

0:06:14 > 0:06:16Wow! Does this turn you on, huh?

0:06:17 > 0:06:20250,000!

0:06:20 > 0:06:22Iggy.

0:06:24 > 0:06:27Iggy, we DON'T get 250,000,

0:06:27 > 0:06:29like the papers say.

0:06:29 > 0:06:31We get 160 grand.

0:06:33 > 0:06:3516...

0:06:35 > 0:06:37Are you trying to snow me?

0:06:37 > 0:06:40Get your hands off me, meatball.

0:06:40 > 0:06:42Get them off!

0:06:44 > 0:06:46Don't you do that again.

0:06:47 > 0:06:49160!

0:06:49 > 0:06:52How come the papers don't say that?

0:06:52 > 0:06:54Do you believe the papers or me?

0:06:54 > 0:06:58What do I know? I've been outside, risking my neck, laying phony leads.

0:06:58 > 0:07:01You've been in here, sitting on the glue.

0:07:01 > 0:07:04Why don't you ask Miss America? She's the money lady.

0:07:06 > 0:07:09Hey, it was a quarter of a million, wasn't it?

0:07:10 > 0:07:12200 grand.

0:07:14 > 0:07:16One lousy hundred and sixty -

0:07:17 > 0:07:19Don't do it, Iggy.

0:07:19 > 0:07:21Well, it don't bother you, huh?

0:07:21 > 0:07:25The two of you dear hearts wouldn't have cooked this whole thing up -

0:07:25 > 0:07:28Oh, come on, Iggy. You're more of a drag then she is.

0:07:28 > 0:07:30What are we going to do about her?

0:07:30 > 0:07:34Well, to tell you the truth, she's been a pretty good girl.

0:07:34 > 0:07:36No hysteria, no gas,

0:07:36 > 0:07:38no struggling.

0:07:38 > 0:07:41She has consideration for other people's problems.

0:07:41 > 0:07:42I say we ought to turn her off, now.

0:07:42 > 0:07:45Is that another one of your big ideas?

0:07:45 > 0:07:47You see this?

0:07:47 > 0:07:51Everyone in town is gonna be looking at our girl's picture tonight.

0:07:51 > 0:07:55They dig her now, all those helpful, little citizens.

0:07:55 > 0:07:59That one little old man, eyewitness Charlie, with 20:20 vision,

0:07:59 > 0:08:03who always happens to be looking out a window when you drag a body.

0:08:04 > 0:08:06What's the action, then?

0:08:06 > 0:08:08We cool it, all of us.

0:08:08 > 0:08:09Cool it.

0:08:09 > 0:08:11I'm going to take this gag off.

0:08:12 > 0:08:14You got any ideas about noise?

0:08:16 > 0:08:18All right. That's good,

0:08:19 > 0:08:21because I've got sensitive ears.

0:08:21 > 0:08:24When someone yells, I do things.

0:08:24 > 0:08:27Things that make me hate myself in the morning.

0:08:27 > 0:08:29Now, Mother,

0:08:29 > 0:08:33here's the picture. We hole up for a few days. We're stuck with you.

0:08:33 > 0:08:37We don't want you getting sick or scared or flaking out.

0:08:37 > 0:08:39That's no good.

0:08:39 > 0:08:40Not for us, not for you.

0:08:40 > 0:08:42What...?

0:08:42 > 0:08:44What are you going to do with me?

0:08:44 > 0:08:47Well, first, you've got to believe one thing.

0:08:47 > 0:08:52One killing more or less won't make a difference. We've nothing to lose.

0:08:52 > 0:08:55Anybody we knock off from here on in is just a little more gravy.

0:08:55 > 0:08:58I understand.

0:08:58 > 0:09:00That's solid, Mom.

0:09:00 > 0:09:04Now, let's make with the cooking. Iggy bought groceries. Come on.

0:09:08 > 0:09:11We got steaks, salmon. What's it going to be?

0:09:11 > 0:09:13Steak. I'll have mine rare.

0:09:13 > 0:09:16Make mine well. I can't stand the sight of blood.

0:09:16 > 0:09:18Some desperate character I got for a partner(!)

0:09:36 > 0:09:39All right, fleabag, let's get out of here.

0:09:39 > 0:09:41Let him stay a little while, Dan.

0:09:41 > 0:09:43- What for? - I like cats.

0:09:43 > 0:09:45You like cats?

0:09:45 > 0:09:47Yeah. Did I ever tell you about my old cat?

0:09:47 > 0:09:49No, and you ain't going to.

0:09:49 > 0:09:53As long as he was alive, I was always lucky. He was a real friend.

0:09:53 > 0:09:57You're breaking my heart. Come on, I want to talk to you.

0:09:59 > 0:10:03Well, don't stand there, flapping your ears. Make with the cooking.

0:10:03 > 0:10:05I like the cat.

0:10:06 > 0:10:08Don't forget, I'm watching you.

0:10:08 > 0:10:11Hey, I don't trust that dame. I don't... trust her.

0:10:11 > 0:10:14I don't want you to trust her.

0:10:14 > 0:10:16The thing is,

0:10:16 > 0:10:18she might play along,

0:10:18 > 0:10:20if we con her into thinking

0:10:20 > 0:10:22we might turn her loose.

0:10:22 > 0:10:25You wouldn't, would you?

0:10:25 > 0:10:27Are you out of your mind?

0:10:27 > 0:10:29BACKGROUND TALKING

0:10:55 > 0:10:57Hey, what's holding you up?

0:10:57 > 0:10:59Come on, move it, move it, will you?

0:10:59 > 0:11:01I...think my watch stopped.

0:11:01 > 0:11:03What do I care? What's with the watch?

0:11:03 > 0:11:04I wanted to time the steaks.

0:11:04 > 0:11:08What's that over there? It's a clock, ain't it? Move it!

0:11:22 > 0:11:24CAT MIAOWS

0:11:24 > 0:11:27What do you think you're doing?

0:11:27 > 0:11:29No, wait, Dan.

0:11:29 > 0:11:31Someone will hear us.

0:11:31 > 0:11:33He wanted to go out.

0:11:33 > 0:11:35I didn't make a break.

0:11:35 > 0:11:37I wouldn't do it.

0:11:37 > 0:11:39I wouldn't.

0:11:41 > 0:11:43OK.

0:11:45 > 0:11:47OK.

0:11:48 > 0:11:50Cos I've got friends,

0:11:50 > 0:11:54ten little lead-nosed friends in here.

0:11:54 > 0:11:57They all run faster than you do, Moms.

0:11:58 > 0:12:01I... I know.

0:12:01 > 0:12:03Let's get one thing straight.

0:12:03 > 0:12:05Don't touch that door again.

0:12:05 > 0:12:08Not that door or any window in here.

0:12:08 > 0:12:10- You got that straight? - Got it?

0:12:11 > 0:12:14Y-y-yes.

0:12:14 > 0:12:16You've just used up all your luck, lady.

0:12:16 > 0:12:18Now, don't try me again.

0:12:45 > 0:12:48How about Thursday night at the drive-in?

0:12:48 > 0:12:51- What's playing? - Night Of The Surfer.

0:12:51 > 0:12:54- What was that we saw tonight? - Surfer Beach Party.

0:12:54 > 0:12:55And the night before last?

0:12:55 > 0:12:58Summer Surf and Sinbad The Surfer, a double feature.

0:12:58 > 0:13:00Canoe,

0:13:00 > 0:13:02do you ever get a spooky feeling

0:13:02 > 0:13:04we keep seeing the same movie over and over,

0:13:04 > 0:13:06and all they do is change the titles?

0:13:06 > 0:13:09Yeah. It's terrific stuff, isn't it?

0:13:11 > 0:13:13Couldn't we just once see a movie,

0:13:13 > 0:13:17where boy meets girl, they have problems which aren't too weird,

0:13:17 > 0:13:19they fall in love and live happily ever after?

0:13:19 > 0:13:22Why would you want to see unhealthy stuff like that?

0:13:22 > 0:13:26I don't know. Maybe I'd like to see a movie where I don't get seasick.

0:13:26 > 0:13:30I'll make you a deal. You go with me to the drive-in Thursday,

0:13:30 > 0:13:33next time we'll go to one of those happily-ever-after clam-digs. Deal?

0:13:33 > 0:13:35I guess.

0:13:35 > 0:13:36Where is The Thing playing?

0:13:36 > 0:13:40Who knows? Maybe they don't even make movies like that any more.

0:13:40 > 0:13:41Well, sure.

0:13:41 > 0:13:45You want to know why? People don't want to be depressed by that slop.

0:13:47 > 0:13:48Ha!

0:13:48 > 0:13:52That Henderson boy went right into the house with her.

0:13:55 > 0:13:57Right into the house!

0:13:57 > 0:13:59She and the Henderson boy, the two of them.

0:13:59 > 0:14:02Why shouldn't he go in? He's been hanging around there

0:14:02 > 0:14:05since he was old enough to wave bye-bye.

0:14:05 > 0:14:08Nevertheless, they happen to represent two separate

0:14:08 > 0:14:11and distinct members of the opposite sex, alone in that house!

0:14:11 > 0:14:13You tell' em, kid.

0:14:13 > 0:14:16With their parents in Europe, someone's got to keep an eye

0:14:16 > 0:14:18on those Randall girls.

0:14:18 > 0:14:22Meantime, by authority of the Federal Communications Commission,

0:14:22 > 0:14:26and the grace of a kindly providence which gave me the power

0:14:26 > 0:14:28of not having to listen to people,

0:14:28 > 0:14:30I am now going off the air.

0:14:30 > 0:14:31Don't you dare

0:14:31 > 0:14:34take it off! I haven't finished talking to you!

0:14:34 > 0:14:37Good night, old woman. I can't hear what you're saying,

0:14:37 > 0:14:38but whatever it is,

0:14:38 > 0:14:41I disagree with you 100%.

0:14:47 > 0:14:51You're running out of peanut butter! There aren't any of those olives.

0:14:51 > 0:14:54- Put them on the shopping list! - OK.

0:14:59 > 0:15:02You know, Patti, sometimes you worry me.

0:15:02 > 0:15:04You don't eat enough to keep a bird alive.

0:15:04 > 0:15:07This is a wild idea, but has it occurred to you

0:15:07 > 0:15:09there's more to life than surfing and eating?

0:15:09 > 0:15:11Like what?

0:15:11 > 0:15:13Forget it.

0:15:13 > 0:15:15I just realised I was talking to myself.

0:17:47 > 0:17:49- Is it a date, then? - Mm-hm.

0:17:53 > 0:17:55Mother cooks the world's best duck.

0:17:55 > 0:17:58As for the duck! Did I tell you it was a gadwall?

0:17:59 > 0:18:01No, I don't believe you did.

0:18:01 > 0:18:03I stood all day in a duck blind to get it.

0:18:03 > 0:18:07It was pouring rain. I almost got pneumonia.

0:18:07 > 0:18:09Oh, I'm so sorry.

0:18:09 > 0:18:12It's all right, it was worth it. Well worth it.

0:18:27 > 0:18:29for 48 hours before cooking.

0:18:29 > 0:18:31It makes all the difference in the world.

0:18:31 > 0:18:33- All the difference in the world. - I...

0:18:35 > 0:18:39I'm looking forward to meeting your mother. I've heard a lot about her.

0:18:39 > 0:18:42I know that you two are going to be the very best of friends.

0:18:42 > 0:18:44And now, er...

0:18:45 > 0:18:46Good night.

0:18:46 > 0:18:48Good night.

0:18:48 > 0:18:50I'll see you in the morning.

0:18:50 > 0:18:52Same time as usual.

0:18:52 > 0:18:54Mm-hm.

0:20:34 > 0:20:36KNOCKING AT DOOR

0:20:38 > 0:20:40OK.

0:20:40 > 0:20:42Where's the duck?

0:20:42 > 0:20:43I beg your pardon?

0:20:43 > 0:20:46I want my duck!

0:20:46 > 0:20:48Your duck?

0:20:48 > 0:20:50If you please.

0:20:50 > 0:20:51I'm sorry, I really don't know -

0:20:51 > 0:20:55Where is that sneaky, miserable guttersnipe?

0:20:55 > 0:20:57He's got my duck.

0:20:57 > 0:20:58What duck?

0:20:58 > 0:21:01Don't you dare pretend with me! I saw him come in here with it.

0:21:01 > 0:21:03Saw WHO come in?

0:21:03 > 0:21:07Patricia Randall, I have had all I can take of your rotten cat!

0:21:07 > 0:21:12He molests my prize fantails, crawls over my car with his muddy paws.

0:21:12 > 0:21:13He digs up my mother's tulip bulbs

0:21:13 > 0:21:16and has driven my dog to the brink of a nervous breakdown!

0:21:16 > 0:21:18You mean DC? Well, I'm sorry,

0:21:18 > 0:21:22but actually he isn't my cat. He isn't anybody's cat.

0:21:22 > 0:21:25What are you talking about? He lives here, doesn't here?

0:21:25 > 0:21:26Well, of course,

0:21:26 > 0:21:28but don't you see? You don't own

0:21:28 > 0:21:31someone like DC. He's family.

0:21:31 > 0:21:33Oh...

0:21:33 > 0:21:35What am I going to do?

0:21:35 > 0:21:37Shoot! I spend all day in a duck blind.

0:21:37 > 0:21:39Pouring rain,

0:21:39 > 0:21:41and I get one duck.

0:21:41 > 0:21:44One single gadwall.

0:21:45 > 0:21:48That flea-raddled fiend had to go and steal it.

0:21:48 > 0:21:52Gregory, I know you're upset, but be honest. It was dark, wasn't it?

0:21:52 > 0:21:55It could easily have been that nasty cat across the street,

0:21:55 > 0:21:58who does everything that DC gets blamed for -

0:21:58 > 0:22:00CAT MIAOWS

0:22:00 > 0:22:02Oh, DC!

0:22:02 > 0:22:04How could you?

0:22:05 > 0:22:07Hold this.

0:22:07 > 0:22:09DC, give that to me this instant!

0:22:09 > 0:22:11DC, I want you to know

0:22:11 > 0:22:14I'm very, very disappointed in you.

0:22:14 > 0:22:15GROWLS

0:22:19 > 0:22:21Oh.

0:22:28 > 0:22:31Oh, Greg, I am sorry.

0:22:31 > 0:22:33I can't think what could have come over him.

0:22:33 > 0:22:36Bad, bad cat! Bad!

0:22:36 > 0:22:38"Bad, bad cat!"

0:22:39 > 0:22:42You're a menace to the whole neighbourhood.

0:22:42 > 0:22:45If I had my way, the authorities

0:22:45 > 0:22:46would do away with you!

0:22:46 > 0:22:49Wait a minute, Gregory. DC's a cat.

0:22:49 > 0:22:51He can't help his instincts.

0:22:51 > 0:22:52He's a hunter, just like you are,

0:22:52 > 0:22:54only he's not stupid enough

0:22:54 > 0:22:56to sit in the pouring rain all day.

0:22:56 > 0:22:59Well! Let me make myself quite clear.

0:22:59 > 0:23:02You keep him locked up, cos the next time time I see him,

0:23:02 > 0:23:04I'll give him a pants-full of buckshot!

0:23:06 > 0:23:08Nine times if necessary.

0:23:09 > 0:23:12CAT HISSES

0:23:12 > 0:23:13I know.

0:23:13 > 0:23:15I don't care for him much, either.

0:23:15 > 0:23:18But he does have a point, don't you think?

0:23:19 > 0:23:21Was that Gregory

0:23:21 > 0:23:23- I heard down there? - Correct.

0:23:23 > 0:23:24He sounded angry.

0:23:24 > 0:23:27Yeah. I believe he was.

0:23:27 > 0:23:28What goes on here, anyway?

0:23:28 > 0:23:31Nothing. Nothing at all. DC just happened

0:23:31 > 0:23:33to take a duck off Gregory's back porch.

0:23:34 > 0:23:36Happened to take a duck?

0:23:36 > 0:23:41Yes. Gregory came stamping and banging over to find it, furious.

0:23:41 > 0:23:45He made a perfect fool of himself. I don't think he's a stable person.

0:23:45 > 0:23:47- There goes my duck dinner. - Your what?

0:23:47 > 0:23:51He invited me for dinner. His mother was going to fix the duck.

0:23:52 > 0:23:53Fix the...?

0:23:53 > 0:23:55Ingrid, don't you see,

0:23:55 > 0:23:57you're walking into a trap?

0:23:57 > 0:24:01Patti, for goodness sake. Gregory drives me to work in the morning.

0:24:01 > 0:24:04At night, he picks me up and he takes me home.

0:24:04 > 0:24:05If he goes to all that trouble,

0:24:05 > 0:24:08the least I can do is be courteous if he asks me to dinner.

0:24:08 > 0:24:10Ingrid, how can you be so blind?

0:24:10 > 0:24:13The guy with the old car pool routine, right?

0:24:13 > 0:24:17Why not? His law office happens to be right next door to where I work.

0:24:17 > 0:24:20The point is, there used to be five people in that car,

0:24:20 > 0:24:24then Gregory traded in his sedan for a two-seater sports car.

0:24:24 > 0:24:26Mr Burke, Miss Batters, Miss Mosely

0:24:26 > 0:24:29were ruthlessly squeezed out

0:24:29 > 0:24:31to find other transportation. Right?

0:24:31 > 0:24:32Now, Patti, listen -

0:24:32 > 0:24:35Creeping matrimony is what it is.

0:24:35 > 0:24:37The car pool, the duck dinner,

0:24:37 > 0:24:39a movie here and there.

0:24:39 > 0:24:43Ingy, you're taking the gas, and you don't even know it.

0:24:43 > 0:24:45Thank you. I'm sure you mean well,

0:24:45 > 0:24:49but I think I can handle the Gregory situation in my own bumbling way.

0:24:51 > 0:24:53I'm sorry, but I suppose at your age,

0:24:53 > 0:24:57when that important person hasn't come into your life, well...

0:24:57 > 0:24:59Well what?

0:24:59 > 0:25:02Well, I suppose a tinge -

0:25:02 > 0:25:04just the faintest tinge -

0:25:04 > 0:25:06of desperation begins to blow your judgement.

0:25:06 > 0:25:09Good night.

0:25:09 > 0:25:13There is no tinge of desperation, however faint, in my outlook,

0:25:13 > 0:25:15and my vision is exceptionally clear.

0:25:15 > 0:25:16Good.

0:25:16 > 0:25:19Which brings us to some of your friends.

0:25:19 > 0:25:20- My friends? - Yes, dear.

0:25:20 > 0:25:22The one we've tripped over for years.

0:25:22 > 0:25:25Canoe? Oh, that's very unfair.

0:25:25 > 0:25:27Canoe is...

0:25:27 > 0:25:29Well, he's just defenceless.

0:25:29 > 0:25:33He's very sweet and young, and needs help.

0:25:33 > 0:25:35Well, I agree he needs something.

0:25:35 > 0:25:38He mopes around in raggedy shorts and eats us out of house and home.

0:25:38 > 0:25:40It just shows how little you know him.

0:25:40 > 0:25:43Canoe has... He has plenty of ambition.

0:25:43 > 0:25:46What? To be the first 50-year-old surfer at Santa Monica?

0:25:46 > 0:25:48If you ask me, he's...

0:25:48 > 0:25:49What's the matter?

0:25:49 > 0:25:52DC's wearing a wristwatch.

0:25:52 > 0:25:54Well, what will that dear sweet innocent cat

0:25:54 > 0:25:57be bringing home next? The Hope Diamond, I imagine.

0:25:57 > 0:26:00Where do you suppose he got it?

0:26:00 > 0:26:03I don't know. Probably some child slipped it on,

0:26:03 > 0:26:05or some teenager put it on for a joke.

0:26:05 > 0:26:07Check with Lost & Found in the morning.

0:26:17 > 0:26:19Ingrid!

0:26:20 > 0:26:25Look. Someone started to scratch something on the casing. See?

0:26:25 > 0:26:27H, E and that looks like

0:26:27 > 0:26:28part of an L.

0:26:28 > 0:26:30H-E-L...

0:26:30 > 0:26:35I'll bet somebody was trying to write "HELP" and they were interrupted.

0:26:35 > 0:26:37Somebody's in trouble.

0:26:37 > 0:26:39What cooks in that wild little head of yours now?

0:26:39 > 0:26:42Somebody's in trouble. I feel it in my bones.

0:26:42 > 0:26:44You bet. Now let me go to sleep.

0:26:44 > 0:26:46I'm a working girl, you know.

0:26:46 > 0:26:48Don't you think we ought to do something?

0:26:48 > 0:26:50Good night.

0:27:02 > 0:27:04Come on, DC. Give.

0:27:04 > 0:27:07Someone does need help, don't they?

0:27:09 > 0:27:11I know you could find a way

0:27:11 > 0:27:13to tell me if you really wanted to.

0:27:13 > 0:27:15A smart cat like you.

0:27:20 > 0:27:22You can be such a rat, sometimes.

0:27:32 > 0:27:35Don't say anything. Point me towards the coffee.

0:27:35 > 0:27:37What's wrong with you?

0:27:37 > 0:27:40Oh, I didn't close my eyes once last night.

0:27:40 > 0:27:42Oh, I've got huge dark circles

0:27:42 > 0:27:44under my eyes.

0:27:44 > 0:27:45And me so young!

0:27:45 > 0:27:47What's bothering you?

0:27:47 > 0:27:50I just couldn't stop thinking about this watch.

0:27:50 > 0:27:53Especially that pitiful cry for help on the back.

0:27:53 > 0:27:56You're not going to start that all over again, are you? So help me -

0:27:56 > 0:27:59You know, I've thought and thought and thought,

0:27:59 > 0:28:01and I finally know the answer.

0:28:01 > 0:28:03The watch belongs to her.

0:28:03 > 0:28:05- The kidnapped woman?- Yeah.

0:28:05 > 0:28:07Oh, come off it, Patti.

0:28:07 > 0:28:09Does it have a name on it?

0:28:09 > 0:28:10CAR HORN

0:28:10 > 0:28:11No, but it's the sort of watch

0:28:11 > 0:28:13a woman like that would wear.

0:28:13 > 0:28:16Feminine, yet bank-tellerish,

0:28:16 > 0:28:18if you see what I mean.

0:28:18 > 0:28:20Patti, you are absolutely impossible.

0:28:20 > 0:28:23Have a nice day at the office, Ingy.

0:28:25 > 0:28:27Patti, you've got that terrible

0:28:27 > 0:28:29butter-won't-melt-in-your-mouth expression.

0:28:29 > 0:28:33I know exactly what's going on in your tiny mind, and I forbid it.

0:28:33 > 0:28:34What do you mean?

0:28:34 > 0:28:38You can't over-dramatise this, like everything else.

0:28:38 > 0:28:40I forbid you to get the police stirred up

0:28:40 > 0:28:42with a hallucination about people in trouble.

0:28:42 > 0:28:44Check.

0:28:44 > 0:28:46You're not to go to the police with that watch, OK?

0:28:46 > 0:28:48- Certainly.- Bye.

0:28:48 > 0:28:51- GREGORY:- Good morning, Ingrid. - Good morning.

0:28:57 > 0:28:59Naturally I wouldn't go to the police.

0:29:02 > 0:29:04This is a job for the FBI.

0:29:16 > 0:29:18May I help you?

0:29:18 > 0:29:20Yes, I'd like to see a...

0:29:20 > 0:29:23We call them agents, here.

0:29:23 > 0:29:25- I'd like to see an agent. - May I ask what about?

0:29:25 > 0:29:27I have information about a crime.

0:29:27 > 0:29:29Thanks. Would you wait over there?

0:29:29 > 0:29:31Yes.

0:29:35 > 0:29:37These are for you, Mr Hart.

0:29:37 > 0:29:39Thank you. I'm back at 11 o'clock.

0:29:39 > 0:29:41Morning, Hart.

0:29:41 > 0:29:43- Good morning, Mr Kelso. - Anything for me?

0:29:43 > 0:29:44No, sir.

0:29:44 > 0:29:48Well, if a Mr Paul calls about the bank records, put him through.

0:29:48 > 0:29:50See you around.

0:29:52 > 0:29:54Is he an agent?

0:29:54 > 0:29:56Yes, he is.

0:29:56 > 0:29:57Nice face, hasn't he?

0:29:57 > 0:30:00- Why, yes. - TELEPHONE RINGS

0:30:02 > 0:30:04Yes, Mr Ellenden.

0:30:04 > 0:30:06The messenger hasn't arrived yet.

0:30:08 > 0:30:10I can put a tracer on it.

0:30:11 > 0:30:14No, sir. We haven't heard from Denver all morning.

0:30:14 > 0:30:15I'll connect you to Morrow.

0:30:15 > 0:30:17He's got the reports on that case.

0:30:46 > 0:30:48CLEARS THROAT

0:30:51 > 0:30:55We've got 22 Howards in Los Angeles. We'd better start at the top.

0:30:59 > 0:31:01Mr Kelso, I have something to report

0:31:01 > 0:31:04on one of your cases. It's the family cat. He's called DC.

0:31:04 > 0:31:08That means Darn Cat. Daddy named him, and called him something much worse.

0:31:08 > 0:31:10Mother won't let us use that name.

0:31:10 > 0:31:13Excuse me. First, what is your name?

0:31:13 > 0:31:16Patricia Randall. 808 Pendleton Avenue.

0:31:17 > 0:31:20Uh-huh. What is this information you have, Miss Randall?

0:31:20 > 0:31:23Well, it's DC, our cat.

0:31:23 > 0:31:27He likes to prowl around at night, as cats do, nothing wrong with that.

0:31:27 > 0:31:28He likes people as a rule.

0:31:28 > 0:31:32If they're nice to him, and give him food, he goes back.

0:31:32 > 0:31:35He has a regular route to pick out food, like a milkman in reverse.

0:31:35 > 0:31:38You say that this relates to one of our cases?

0:31:38 > 0:31:39Yes! Yes, it does.

0:31:39 > 0:31:43Last night, DC was out, roaming around and stole a duck

0:31:43 > 0:31:45from Mr Benson down the street.

0:31:45 > 0:31:47Ah, Miss er...Randall.

0:31:47 > 0:31:49I'm afraid that that's a police matter.

0:31:49 > 0:31:53You see, our jurisdiction is limited to certain fields of investigation.

0:31:53 > 0:31:56At present, duck stealing is not one of them.

0:31:56 > 0:31:58How about bank robbery and kidnapping?

0:32:04 > 0:32:06I'll hear the rest of your story, Miss Randall.

0:32:06 > 0:32:08Thank you.

0:32:09 > 0:32:11Well, last night,

0:32:11 > 0:32:13DC came home wearing a wristwatch.

0:32:13 > 0:32:16Wearing a wristwatch?

0:32:16 > 0:32:19Yes. Instead of his collar.

0:32:19 > 0:32:21Oh.

0:32:21 > 0:32:23I couldn't help thinking what I would do

0:32:23 > 0:32:26if I were this poor woman, Miss Miller,

0:32:26 > 0:32:28held prisoner by two hoodlums,

0:32:28 > 0:32:29and a stray cat

0:32:29 > 0:32:31- came wandering in. - Mm-hm.

0:32:32 > 0:32:36Don't you see? I'd put something of mine on the cat as a clue,

0:32:36 > 0:32:39like a wristwatch, maybe try to scratch something on it.

0:32:39 > 0:32:40Do you have this wristwatch?

0:32:40 > 0:32:42Mr Kelso, I knew you'd understand.

0:32:42 > 0:32:45That's why I selected you personally.

0:32:45 > 0:32:47Here.

0:32:50 > 0:32:52You see, of course, on the back,

0:32:52 > 0:32:55where she started to scratch "HELP." She was interrupted.

0:32:55 > 0:32:57H-E-

0:32:57 > 0:33:00and that squiggle could be an L.

0:33:00 > 0:33:03Well, it doesn't quite spell "HELP", does it?

0:33:03 > 0:33:06But she was wearing a wristwatch at the time of her abduction.

0:33:06 > 0:33:08We have only a superficial description.

0:33:08 > 0:33:10- But - - This may or may not be the watch.

0:33:10 > 0:33:13But wouldn't it be enough to start on?

0:33:13 > 0:33:16Miss Randall, I wonder if you could wait here for just a few moments?

0:33:16 > 0:33:20Of course not, Mr Kelso. My entire day is at your disposal.

0:33:21 > 0:33:23Thank you, Miss Randall.

0:33:24 > 0:33:26Well, it's a goofy idea.

0:33:26 > 0:33:29- That's what I thought, sir. - The only thing is, I like it.

0:33:29 > 0:33:30You do, sir?

0:33:30 > 0:33:33I don't like this paper chase someone has lead us on.

0:33:33 > 0:33:36Those twenty dollar bills from the bank job

0:33:36 > 0:33:37we've picked up along the valley.

0:33:37 > 0:33:40Oh, you mean they went in another direction?

0:33:40 > 0:33:42Stayed right here in the city.

0:33:42 > 0:33:45This watch lead ties in with that. How's your workload, Kelso?

0:33:45 > 0:33:50Me, sir? Well, I'm going over those old bank records on Johnny Lacouts.

0:33:50 > 0:33:51I'm ready to trip him up.

0:33:51 > 0:33:54Lacouts can wait. Kidnapping takes priority.

0:33:54 > 0:33:57I want you to set up a surveillance and tail this cat.

0:33:57 > 0:33:58Tail the cat?

0:33:58 > 0:33:59He may take us to the robbers.

0:33:59 > 0:34:02That's all.

0:34:02 > 0:34:05Actually, sir, I don't have any experience in tailing cats.

0:34:05 > 0:34:07For that matter, who does?

0:34:07 > 0:34:12Sorry, sir. You want me to set up a surveillance on this... informant,

0:34:12 > 0:34:15exactly as if we thought of him as a person?

0:34:15 > 0:34:19Unless, of course, it works out better to think of him as a cat.

0:34:21 > 0:34:25Sir, I think it's only fair to tell you, I don't get on well with cats.

0:34:25 > 0:34:27There's a kind of an antagonism between us.

0:34:27 > 0:34:29Is that so?

0:34:29 > 0:34:30Yes. Also, I have this allergy.

0:34:30 > 0:34:32Allergy? I make it my business

0:34:32 > 0:34:34to know the medical records of every man here.

0:34:34 > 0:34:36Have you been keeping it from me?

0:34:36 > 0:34:39A very small allergy, sir, hardly worth mentioning.

0:34:39 > 0:34:41Good. Then don't. Stay in touch.

0:34:41 > 0:34:44I'm available on this case 24 hours a day.

0:34:44 > 0:34:45Yes, sir.

0:34:49 > 0:34:52Sir, it's just that every time I'm around c-c-c...

0:34:52 > 0:34:54Atchoo!

0:34:54 > 0:34:56Gesundheit, and good luck.

0:34:56 > 0:34:59Thank you, sir.

0:35:02 > 0:35:04HE SNEEZES VIOLENTLY

0:35:05 > 0:35:08Yes, a lot of people are going to be sorry

0:35:08 > 0:35:10for the things they said about DC.

0:35:12 > 0:35:15Wait till they find out he's working with the FBI.

0:35:15 > 0:35:19I don't think we should expose your cat's relationship with us yet.

0:35:19 > 0:35:22I'd like to remain as inconspicuous as possible.

0:35:22 > 0:35:25You don't want people knowing who you are and what you're doing?

0:35:25 > 0:35:30Exactly. They become over-stimulated when they discover an FBI man.

0:35:30 > 0:35:32It tends to interfere with the quiet,

0:35:32 > 0:35:36orderly process of investigation, especially in kidnap cases.

0:35:36 > 0:35:40This places the life of the kidnap victim into additional jeopardy.

0:35:40 > 0:35:43You mean we have to be careful not to generate too much heat?

0:35:43 > 0:35:45The kidnappers are liable to kill Miss Miller,

0:35:45 > 0:35:47dispose of the remains and take off?

0:35:47 > 0:35:50Er, that's one way to put it, yes.

0:35:57 > 0:35:59Right. Now, you go first.

0:35:59 > 0:36:02Remember, everything quiet, calm and inconspicuous.

0:36:02 > 0:36:04Quiet, calm, inconspicuous.

0:36:12 > 0:36:14WHISTLES INNOCENTLY

0:36:38 > 0:36:41The brazen creature! Right in broad daylight!

0:36:41 > 0:36:43What are you cackling about now?

0:36:44 > 0:36:48A strange young man just went into the house with Patti.

0:36:48 > 0:36:49So what?

0:36:49 > 0:36:51He was carrying a bag.

0:36:51 > 0:36:54Don't get yourself up in a sweat, old woman.

0:36:54 > 0:36:56It's probably the plumber.

0:36:56 > 0:36:58It was not the plumber! This man was nicely dressed!

0:36:58 > 0:37:01That's the way plumbers dress, now.

0:37:01 > 0:37:03The prices they charge these days,

0:37:03 > 0:37:06I'm surprised he wasn't wearing a tuxedo.

0:37:09 > 0:37:10Do you have any friends? I mean,

0:37:10 > 0:37:12people in and out of the house?

0:37:12 > 0:37:13Yes, I'm afraid so.

0:37:13 > 0:37:16Father says we run a rehabilitation centre

0:37:16 > 0:37:18- for punch-drunk juveniles. - Uh-huh.

0:37:19 > 0:37:22I'd prefer a room on the second floor, actually.

0:37:22 > 0:37:26It'll reduce the chance of someone coming in and finding me at work.

0:37:26 > 0:37:28- Is this your room? - Ingrid's, my sister.

0:37:28 > 0:37:32- Would she mind? - No, she'd be only too happy to help.

0:37:32 > 0:37:35That's the side door to the kitchen you were telling me about?

0:37:35 > 0:37:37Yes. That's the exit DC uses

0:37:37 > 0:37:39when he goes out for a night on the town.

0:37:39 > 0:37:43Well, tonight, we'll set up our communications unit in here.

0:37:43 > 0:37:44Whatever you like.

0:37:44 > 0:37:47Now, I suppose I'd better meet the c-c-c...

0:37:50 > 0:37:53Bless you. What did you say?

0:37:55 > 0:37:57I said I'd...

0:37:57 > 0:37:59I'd suppose I'd...

0:37:59 > 0:38:01better...meet...the...

0:38:01 > 0:38:04Oh. DC.

0:38:04 > 0:38:07He's probably goofing around under the bed.

0:38:07 > 0:38:08It's his favourite spot.

0:38:08 > 0:38:11Your sins have caught up with you.

0:38:12 > 0:38:14This is your FBI.

0:38:14 > 0:38:16Well...

0:38:16 > 0:38:17So, this is the...

0:38:18 > 0:38:20Informant, as we say at the office.

0:38:20 > 0:38:22You hear that, DC?

0:38:22 > 0:38:24You're the informant, now.

0:38:24 > 0:38:26CAT GROWLS

0:38:26 > 0:38:29Nice little kitty-cat. Good, good kitty-cat.

0:38:29 > 0:38:30- Is he friendly? - Mm.

0:38:30 > 0:38:32HISSES

0:38:32 > 0:38:34He almost got me that time, didn't he?

0:38:34 > 0:38:37He's all right, really. Don't make any sudden moves

0:38:37 > 0:38:39as it sets off his reflexes or something.

0:38:39 > 0:38:42Oh... He doesn't seem to like me, does he?

0:38:42 > 0:38:47I guess that's a bad sign, the kind of people that animals don't like.

0:38:47 > 0:38:50Oh, it doesn't mean a thing. DC and Daddy loathe one another,

0:38:50 > 0:38:52and Daddy's the lamb of the year.

0:38:52 > 0:38:54Say... I w-w-w...

0:38:54 > 0:38:55I wonder if you would excuse me

0:38:55 > 0:38:58for one minute. We better get this show on the road.

0:38:58 > 0:38:59What are you going to do?

0:38:59 > 0:39:02I have some preliminary work to do with DC

0:39:02 > 0:39:05before we start our surveillance. Photo's and so on.

0:39:05 > 0:39:09- For the papers, you mean? - Oh no, for our own people to study.

0:39:09 > 0:39:13There's pawprints and plaster impressions, samples of his fur to -

0:39:13 > 0:39:15CAT MIAOWS

0:39:15 > 0:39:18Oh, bless you. You're catching a terrible cold.

0:39:18 > 0:39:20DC, pull yourself together.

0:39:20 > 0:39:21Do you want me to get you something?

0:39:21 > 0:39:25No, I'm fine. It's just a slight allergy that I have around c-c...

0:39:25 > 0:39:27Around er...

0:39:27 > 0:39:30I wonder if you'd put him on the bed. Let me get a picture of him.

0:39:32 > 0:39:34There you go.

0:39:34 > 0:39:36Could you get him to stand?

0:39:36 > 0:39:37I'll get a full figure shot.

0:39:37 > 0:39:39Oh, yes.

0:39:41 > 0:39:43There you go.

0:39:43 > 0:39:45Oh, come on, DC. Co-operate.

0:39:49 > 0:39:52Come on, DC. You're working with the FBI. There.

0:39:53 > 0:39:55There.

0:39:55 > 0:39:58That's not going to be any good.

0:39:58 > 0:39:59I can't see him properly.

0:39:59 > 0:40:02Wait a minute. Here's what he likes.

0:40:02 > 0:40:04Here!

0:40:07 > 0:40:10- MIAOWS - Where did he go?

0:40:11 > 0:40:13Back under the bed.

0:40:15 > 0:40:17I should have taken the pawprints first.

0:40:17 > 0:40:20You're right. He's not about to come out.

0:40:20 > 0:40:23Well, can't we just get hold of him and drag him out?

0:40:23 > 0:40:26Sure - if you want to lose a hand.

0:40:27 > 0:40:31The Bureau has spent 19,800 of the taxpayer's money

0:40:31 > 0:40:32training me for emergencies.

0:40:32 > 0:40:35They expect something for their cash.

0:40:35 > 0:40:39I have no intention of being intimidated by this c-c-c... animal.

0:40:39 > 0:40:41GROWLS

0:40:41 > 0:40:43- You are a very brave man. - Thank you.

0:40:43 > 0:40:46All right, when I count three, we'll both grab him at the same time,

0:40:46 > 0:40:48- but move fast. - All right. Let's go.

0:40:48 > 0:40:50- Are you ready? - Let's go.

0:40:50 > 0:40:54One, two, three!

0:40:54 > 0:40:56MIAOWS

0:40:57 > 0:40:58Argh!

0:41:01 > 0:41:02Oh, DC!

0:41:02 > 0:41:04Gadzooks, you're bleeding.

0:41:04 > 0:41:07Oh, it's nothing, probably just an artery.

0:41:07 > 0:41:09Would you get him down for me?

0:41:09 > 0:41:11You're not going ahead with this!

0:41:11 > 0:41:13Miss Randall, you underestimate me.

0:41:13 > 0:41:15We shall proceed with the pawprinting.

0:41:15 > 0:41:17All right.

0:41:18 > 0:41:20Come on, now, DC.

0:41:20 > 0:41:22Don't be difficult.

0:41:22 > 0:41:23What's that?

0:41:23 > 0:41:25It's ink.

0:41:25 > 0:41:27Ink! Can't we do that in the bathroom?

0:41:27 > 0:41:30Ingrid will murder me if we get ink on the rug.

0:41:30 > 0:41:32Sure. Let's go.

0:41:33 > 0:41:35MIAOWS Don't make such a fuss, DC.

0:41:35 > 0:41:38You should be ashamed of yourself.

0:41:39 > 0:41:42Sorry about the washing. A girl's bathroom, you know?

0:41:42 > 0:41:44It's OK.

0:41:44 > 0:41:46Come on, now!

0:41:46 > 0:41:50Good old kitty-cat. Nice, nice kitty-cat.

0:41:50 > 0:41:51DC GROWLS

0:41:55 > 0:41:57I'll just rub this on here.

0:41:58 > 0:42:02Let's see. I guess I'll put the pawprint in the space for the thumb.

0:42:02 > 0:42:05Oh, hurry! I can't hold him any longer.

0:42:05 > 0:42:07Oh. All right. Here we go, now.

0:42:07 > 0:42:09Right, now just relax.

0:42:11 > 0:42:14Take it easy there, now. It won't hurt a bit.

0:42:14 > 0:42:16KNOCKING AT DOOR Oh, Canoe!

0:42:16 > 0:42:18Can I what?

0:42:18 > 0:42:19No, Canoe is a friend.

0:42:19 > 0:42:21I promised to go to the beach.

0:42:21 > 0:42:23That's not good. Does he hang around?

0:42:23 > 0:42:25Yes. He has kitchen privileges.

0:42:25 > 0:42:27He's not easy to -

0:42:27 > 0:42:29Try to get rid of him, will you? It's important.

0:42:29 > 0:42:31What will I say?

0:42:31 > 0:42:33Anything! Just keep him away from here.

0:42:33 > 0:42:35< INSISTENT KNOCKING All right.

0:42:35 > 0:42:37Hurry back, for the love of heaven.

0:42:40 > 0:42:42OK, Tiger.

0:42:42 > 0:42:44- It's either you or me. - CAT YOWLS

0:42:55 > 0:42:56Patti?

0:42:56 > 0:42:58Yes?

0:42:58 > 0:43:00What kind of a get-up is that?

0:43:00 > 0:43:03Do you want the crowd to think you're an eccentric?

0:43:03 > 0:43:05Oh, please go on without me.

0:43:05 > 0:43:07I don't think I can make it today.

0:43:07 > 0:43:09Well, Patti, Patti, are you all right?

0:43:09 > 0:43:11I've never seen you like this before.

0:43:11 > 0:43:13Can I help?

0:43:13 > 0:43:15No, it's all right.

0:43:15 > 0:43:18I just feel terribly, terribly weak.

0:43:18 > 0:43:19If you're so weak, how come

0:43:19 > 0:43:21I can't get through the door?

0:43:21 > 0:43:23Please go, Canoe.

0:43:23 > 0:43:26I can't bear you to see me looking like this.

0:43:27 > 0:43:29- KELSO SCREAMS - What was that?

0:43:29 > 0:43:31What was what?

0:43:31 > 0:43:33That bloodcurdling scream!

0:43:33 > 0:43:35Canoe, please go.

0:43:35 > 0:43:36Oh, I'm very sorry.

0:43:36 > 0:43:38I didn't know I was butting in on murder(!)

0:43:38 > 0:43:41Oh, don't be silly.

0:43:41 > 0:43:43GLASS SMASHES

0:43:43 > 0:43:45You know how DC hates water. He's having a bath.

0:43:45 > 0:43:47By himself?

0:43:47 > 0:43:49OK. If you won't go to the beach with me,

0:43:49 > 0:43:52then I'll make myself a sandwich.

0:43:52 > 0:43:55Kitchen privileges are temporarily withdrawn.

0:44:06 > 0:44:09Oh, he's gone!

0:44:10 > 0:44:12Pawprints everywhere!

0:44:12 > 0:44:14Yeah. Except on the card.

0:44:14 > 0:44:16Oh, I'm sorry.

0:44:24 > 0:44:26Aha! The best pawprint I ever made.

0:44:28 > 0:44:31The first point I wish to make is that time is not on our side.

0:44:31 > 0:44:33The word is move, and move swiftly.

0:44:33 > 0:44:35We'll be following an informant

0:44:35 > 0:44:37whose information may or may not be reliable.

0:44:37 > 0:44:40However, he could lead us to the Miller kidnappers.

0:44:40 > 0:44:44OK, here's the physical. Name of the informant, DC Randall.

0:44:44 > 0:44:46Nationality: Siamese. Sex: Male.

0:44:46 > 0:44:48Eyes: Blue. Weight: 17 pounds.

0:44:48 > 0:44:5117 pounds?

0:44:51 > 0:44:52Exactly.

0:44:54 > 0:44:56Hair - in this case fur - black,

0:44:56 > 0:44:59- streaked with tan and white. - You did say fur?

0:44:59 > 0:45:01Correct.

0:45:03 > 0:45:04You want us to follow a cat?

0:45:04 > 0:45:06That's the assignment.

0:45:06 > 0:45:09How do you follow a cat? They go through fences.

0:45:09 > 0:45:12They climb trees and phone poles.

0:45:12 > 0:45:14Whither he goest, you will go.

0:45:18 > 0:45:20Do you have a question, Graham?

0:45:20 > 0:45:22No, I was just thinking I've got an old dog

0:45:22 > 0:45:25who's a lot better at tracking cats than I am.

0:45:25 > 0:45:27We don't have time for comments.

0:45:27 > 0:45:30I'd like to remind you a woman's life is involved.

0:45:30 > 0:45:31Sorry.

0:45:31 > 0:45:33OK.

0:45:33 > 0:45:35Now, tonight you'll take up your initial positions

0:45:35 > 0:45:37in the area surrounding

0:45:37 > 0:45:39the Randall house, here.

0:45:39 > 0:45:41When the informant leaves,

0:45:41 > 0:45:45we'll contain him loosely within a moving, fluid perimeter.

0:45:45 > 0:45:47It's important he doesn't become aware of us.

0:45:47 > 0:45:50This may alter his normal pattern of behaviour.

0:46:00 > 0:46:02Hold it! Who do you think you are kidding?

0:46:02 > 0:46:04What do you mean?

0:46:04 > 0:46:06You think I don't know what's going on?

0:46:06 > 0:46:08You do?

0:46:08 > 0:46:09I didn't come in from Stupidsville

0:46:09 > 0:46:11on last night's bus. You've a woman

0:46:11 > 0:46:15- in that apartment. - Hold it. What does that mean?

0:46:15 > 0:46:17Don't double-talk me. I've got ears.

0:46:17 > 0:46:19It's Dan's mother.

0:46:19 > 0:46:23She...came unexpected, sudden, like. We didn't know, that's all.

0:46:23 > 0:46:25I don't care if it's Pocahontas!

0:46:25 > 0:46:27You've three people in there.

0:46:27 > 0:46:28It will cost you an extra 20.

0:46:28 > 0:46:30I'll bring it right down.

0:46:30 > 0:46:34Don't bother! I'll come up and get it. I like to know my tenants.

0:46:34 > 0:46:36You can't do it. She's sick, you see.

0:46:36 > 0:46:38What's wrong? Nothing catching, is it?

0:46:38 > 0:46:42It's her nervous system. It's all boiled up. She can't stand visitors.

0:46:46 > 0:46:48Iggy.

0:46:49 > 0:46:52We have to leave, Dan. We've got to get out of here.

0:46:52 > 0:46:54- What for? - The battle-axe downstairs

0:46:54 > 0:46:57knows we've got a dame. She heard her talking.

0:46:57 > 0:46:59We have to go. I said it was your mother.

0:46:59 > 0:47:01Why didn't you tell her it was the TV?

0:47:01 > 0:47:03I told you a million times, the TV!

0:47:03 > 0:47:06All right. I've got to talk to you, Dan, in private.

0:47:06 > 0:47:09Why private? We've got no secrets from Moms.

0:47:09 > 0:47:11Come on, will you? Please, Dan.

0:47:11 > 0:47:14All right, all right.

0:47:14 > 0:47:16Go in the kitchen and get a glass of water.

0:47:16 > 0:47:19Stand by the sink, where I can see you.

0:47:19 > 0:47:20OK. Fill me in.

0:47:20 > 0:47:22Yeah. I found a place.

0:47:22 > 0:47:24Where?

0:47:24 > 0:47:28I got a big bin. I spotted it in an alley two blocks away,

0:47:28 > 0:47:30at the back of a store where they dump trash.

0:47:30 > 0:47:32Not so good. It's too close.

0:47:32 > 0:47:34Anyway, I don't like bodies.

0:47:34 > 0:47:37They always turn up at the wrong times.

0:47:37 > 0:47:38We've gotta unload her.

0:47:38 > 0:47:41The lady downstairs is going to start nosing around.

0:47:41 > 0:47:43We're OK, as long as we sit tight.

0:47:43 > 0:47:45I say we gotta make a move.

0:47:45 > 0:47:48- We sweat it out right here. - Listen, Dan.

0:47:48 > 0:47:52Anything else, I'd play it your way, right?

0:47:52 > 0:47:53Just one condition.

0:47:53 > 0:47:55Who says you make conditions?

0:47:55 > 0:47:56- Just one! - Such as?

0:47:56 > 0:47:58She goes.

0:48:01 > 0:48:03All right.

0:48:03 > 0:48:04But not until later,

0:48:04 > 0:48:06and not in the trash bin.

0:48:06 > 0:48:08See if you can boost a car somewhere.

0:48:08 > 0:48:10Get her out of the city.

0:48:10 > 0:48:13Are you sure your sister

0:48:13 > 0:48:14won't mind us using her room?

0:48:14 > 0:48:16No, not a bit. She'll be happy to help.

0:48:16 > 0:48:18Good, good.

0:48:26 > 0:48:28Spires, this is control. Do you read me?

0:48:28 > 0:48:30Sweet and clear. You reading me?

0:48:30 > 0:48:33Affirmative. What's your exact position?

0:48:33 > 0:48:37In the alley, about 30 feet from the Randall back gate.

0:48:37 > 0:48:40You are in the forward spot. You'll see DC when he hits the alley.

0:48:40 > 0:48:42Let me know which way he turns.

0:48:42 > 0:48:44Cahill, what's your field of vision?

0:48:44 > 0:48:47West to Whittier, east to the bend of Wetherby Drive.

0:48:47 > 0:48:49Stand by. About three minutes to go.

0:48:49 > 0:48:51You're young to be doing this work,

0:48:51 > 0:48:53aren't you? It's terribly responsible.

0:48:53 > 0:48:55I'm really not that young.

0:48:55 > 0:48:57Kelly, are you settled in?

0:48:57 > 0:49:01South side of Maple, about 50 feet from the junction with Wetherby.

0:49:01 > 0:49:03Got it.

0:49:04 > 0:49:07You're very athletic-looking. Do you surf?

0:49:07 > 0:49:09No, no. Not any more.

0:49:09 > 0:49:12My legs always looked ridiculous in those shorts.

0:49:12 > 0:49:15Besides, I was scared to death, half the time.

0:49:15 > 0:49:19I don't believe that. Look at all the brave things you do in your job.

0:49:19 > 0:49:22Miss Randall, maybe we could chat some other time.

0:49:22 > 0:49:24As you pointed out today,

0:49:24 > 0:49:27a woman's life may depend on what we're doing.

0:49:27 > 0:49:29I'm sorry. Do you want me to leave?

0:49:29 > 0:49:30Maybe that would be best, yes.

0:49:30 > 0:49:32Oh, all right.

0:49:35 > 0:49:37I only thought if DC

0:49:37 > 0:49:40happened to wake up and find a strange man in the bedroom,

0:49:40 > 0:49:43I just don't know how he's going to take it.

0:49:44 > 0:49:46Er, you've got a point, there.

0:49:46 > 0:49:48Graham, are you settled in?

0:49:48 > 0:49:51Opposite the west end of the alley.

0:49:51 > 0:49:53'If the informant goes west, you've got him.'

0:49:53 > 0:49:56If he goes the other way, stand by. I'll give you a new position.

0:49:56 > 0:50:00- Who's the square eight one? - That's the informant.

0:50:00 > 0:50:02- Informant? - Yeah.

0:50:02 > 0:50:04Oh, DC! Ah.

0:50:04 > 0:50:07Say... are you sure he always goes out at 9:00?

0:50:07 > 0:50:09Oh, yes.

0:50:09 > 0:50:12Unless, of course, it's one of his contrary nights.

0:50:27 > 0:50:29HE SNORES

0:50:37 > 0:50:39CLOCK CHIMES

0:50:44 > 0:50:46All agents now stand by.

0:50:49 > 0:50:52- For goodness' sake - act casual. - What?

0:50:52 > 0:50:55Don't let him suspect anything's going on.

0:50:55 > 0:50:57Oh.

0:50:57 > 0:50:59Oh. Ha.

0:50:59 > 0:51:01Nice kitty-cat.

0:51:01 > 0:51:04- CLEARS THROAT - Good old kitty-cat.

0:51:04 > 0:51:09Mm-hm. You can save the hypocrisy. He knows you don't like him.

0:51:09 > 0:51:11Oh.

0:51:34 > 0:51:36CHIRPING

0:51:47 > 0:51:51You're all tensed up. He's getting the idea something's wrong.

0:51:51 > 0:51:53(Can't you act casual?)

0:51:56 > 0:51:58Well. Nice weather we're having, isn't it?

0:51:58 > 0:52:00And there's a bit of wind from the east.

0:52:00 > 0:52:04(That's terrible. Can't you do any better than that?)

0:52:04 > 0:52:09- Well... - And be careful what you say.

0:52:09 > 0:52:11MIAOWS

0:52:11 > 0:52:15Well, now, he... certainly can't understand what I'm saying, can he?

0:52:15 > 0:52:18Not everything, of course. He's just a cat.

0:52:18 > 0:52:20But mostly everything.

0:52:26 > 0:52:28I told you before! Let my stuff alone!

0:52:29 > 0:52:30Ow...

0:52:30 > 0:52:32And come on in the house. Come on.

0:52:34 > 0:52:37- (I thought he went out at nine.) - Shh.

0:53:02 > 0:53:04Spires, he's on his way.

0:53:11 > 0:53:13I have the informant in sight.

0:53:13 > 0:53:17He's turning west on the alley toward Whittier Drive.

0:53:17 > 0:53:19Graham, he's coming to you. Pick him up.

0:53:22 > 0:53:24I've got him.

0:53:28 > 0:53:32He's in the yard of the second last house on Maple St. I'll investigate.

0:53:34 > 0:53:36Spires and Kelly,

0:53:36 > 0:53:40informant is moving north. Stand by for positions.

0:53:44 > 0:53:47He's looking up at the side windows.

0:53:47 > 0:53:50- Who lives here?- The Hendersons. They came last year.

0:53:50 > 0:53:52'He's moving on to the street.'

0:53:52 > 0:53:55Kelly, next to last house on Maple. He's coming through.

0:53:55 > 0:53:59I make him, Control. He's bearing toward the business area.

0:54:01 > 0:54:04All right, Kelly. Follow the informant on foot.

0:54:04 > 0:54:07Spires, go to Whittier and College.

0:54:07 > 0:54:10'Informant approaching Whittier and State.'

0:54:12 > 0:54:14OK. Graham,

0:54:14 > 0:54:18move to 7th and State. Junction 7th and State.

0:54:18 > 0:54:21'Informant has now turned west onto State St.'

0:54:21 > 0:54:22Cahill,

0:54:22 > 0:54:26move to 8th Street, half a block south of Main.

0:54:26 > 0:54:29Informant is moving down the alley from State to Main.

0:54:49 > 0:54:53Informant has stopped on Main St at a delicatessen.

0:54:53 > 0:54:56That's Mr Bartle's. DC's always hanging round.

0:54:56 > 0:54:58It drives Mr Bart out of his mind.

0:55:01 > 0:55:03MIAOWS

0:55:03 > 0:55:05Get outta here!

0:55:07 > 0:55:10Informant's crossing to the south side of the street.

0:55:10 > 0:55:11Stay put, Kelly.

0:55:11 > 0:55:14Graham, move to 7th and Main.

0:55:14 > 0:55:18- Cahill, have you got a visual? - Have him, Control - approaching me.

0:55:35 > 0:55:39Informant is past my position, heading for the middle of the block.

0:55:46 > 0:55:49Informant is in the yard of an apartment building.

0:55:49 > 0:55:51Stick with him.

0:55:54 > 0:55:57- Does DC know anybody on 8th St? - Who knows?

0:56:03 > 0:56:06MIAOWS

0:56:08 > 0:56:10He's still in the yard.

0:56:10 > 0:56:13'He seems interested in something on the second floor.'

0:56:13 > 0:56:15- HE WHISTLES - Pull in our perimeter.

0:56:15 > 0:56:18Kelly, move down 8th to the building.

0:56:18 > 0:56:20Cahill, stay with the informant.

0:56:20 > 0:56:23Graham, cut through the back yards behind the apartment.

0:56:23 > 0:56:26- DC won't be hurt? - I must ask you to be quiet.

0:56:26 > 0:56:29Spires, drive toward the location slowly with your lights on.

0:56:29 > 0:56:32CAT MIAOWS

0:56:32 > 0:56:34THE CAT MIAOWS

0:56:38 > 0:56:40Back away from that window!

0:56:40 > 0:56:44Why not just let her stick her head out and yell, meathead?

0:56:44 > 0:56:45What'd I do?

0:56:46 > 0:56:49CAT MIAOWS

0:56:51 > 0:56:54Hold it. Informant's on the move again.

0:56:54 > 0:56:57'Proceeding north on 8th St, the way he came in.'

0:56:57 > 0:57:01Oh, no! All right, Cahill, stay with him.

0:57:01 > 0:57:03Other agents return to positions.

0:57:03 > 0:57:05I thought we had something for a minute.

0:57:05 > 0:57:09Oh, I love DC, but he can drive you up the wall sometimes.

0:57:09 > 0:57:12- We didn't expect to find what we wanted at first.- Good.

0:57:12 > 0:57:14DC makes the scene all over.

0:57:14 > 0:57:16- He must have dozens of stops. - Dozens?

0:57:16 > 0:57:19- 'Informant crossing Main St.' - Stay with him.

0:57:19 > 0:57:22Maybe I shouldn't have said that.

0:57:22 > 0:57:25I don't want to see you tensed up. It can't be healthy.

0:57:25 > 0:57:27Miss Randall, I do not get tensed up.

0:57:27 > 0:57:31We are trained not to be emotional. Alert, yes. Tense, no.

0:57:31 > 0:57:33Oh, I am relieved.

0:57:33 > 0:57:35HE EXHALES

0:57:39 > 0:57:42Ingrid, when you come to dinner at the house,

0:57:42 > 0:57:44would you wear something yellow?

0:57:44 > 0:57:47Oh, Gregory, I look yuck in yellow.

0:57:47 > 0:57:52Well, do make an effort, dear. It's Mother's favourite colour.

0:58:17 > 0:58:20Control, I'm getting hot.

0:58:20 > 0:58:22The informant is suspicious.

0:58:22 > 0:58:26Try and stay with him to the end of the alley. Graham's coming in.

0:58:26 > 0:58:27OK.

0:58:33 > 0:58:34CLATTER

0:59:00 > 0:59:04Control? The... the informant has broken off contact.

0:59:04 > 0:59:06I've lost him.

0:59:06 > 0:59:09All agents abandon present position.

0:59:09 > 0:59:12Converge on the alley from Wetherby to Maple.

0:59:12 > 0:59:14- Say! - Shh!

0:59:14 > 0:59:16Shh? What's going on here?

0:59:16 > 0:59:18Quiet, please. Report to me.

0:59:18 > 0:59:21How dare you? Why is this man in my room?

0:59:21 > 0:59:23Ingrid, I want you to meet Mr Kelso,

0:59:23 > 0:59:25from the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

0:59:25 > 0:59:29Please stop chattering, or leave. Report that again?

0:59:29 > 0:59:32Mr Whoever-you-are, where do you get off? It's my room!

0:59:32 > 0:59:35Patti, you MUST be quiet, and that goes for -

0:59:35 > 0:59:37Oh, hi. Cahill, what happened?

0:59:37 > 0:59:40- What's going on? - Ingrid, be still!

0:59:40 > 0:59:43It's a matter of life and death. I'll explain later.

0:59:43 > 0:59:47No. Get Tom Swift and his electric scoreboard out of here,

0:59:47 > 0:59:49or I'll call the police.

0:59:49 > 0:59:52You don't call the police to the FBI. They won't come.

0:59:52 > 0:59:55Spires, approach from the east and meet Cahill and Kelly.

0:59:55 > 0:59:58That just makes it absolutely official.

0:59:58 > 1:00:01Control, we're at the rendezvous. Negative.

1:00:04 > 1:00:06OK.

1:00:06 > 1:00:09- BRAKES SQUEAL - There he is!

1:00:09 > 1:00:10'I've got him.'

1:00:10 > 1:00:15Graham, Kelly, stay. Cahill, Spires, circle ahead. Don't lose him.

1:00:17 > 1:00:19There he goes!

1:00:21 > 1:00:23I'm not going to have hysterics.

1:00:23 > 1:00:26I am going to ask everyone, as nicely as possible,

1:00:26 > 1:00:28- please leave my room! - Just come into the hall.

1:00:28 > 1:00:31- I'll explain it all. - I'm NOT going in the hall.

1:00:31 > 1:00:34- Graham, where are you? - 'I'm not sure. I doubled back.'

1:00:34 > 1:00:36Keep the informant in sight.

1:00:36 > 1:00:38Bingo. There he is.

1:00:38 > 1:00:41Walking along a branch toward a light frame house.

1:00:41 > 1:00:45'Control, I see him too, at a French door on a balcony,

1:00:45 > 1:00:48'trying to get it open. There are people in the room.'

1:00:48 > 1:00:50- How many? - 'I just see shadows.'

1:00:50 > 1:00:53'Take care. They may be armed. Wait for the others.'

1:00:53 > 1:00:56I'm moving to the front. Kelly's behind me.

1:00:57 > 1:01:00- They're closing in! - CLOSING IN WHAT?

1:01:00 > 1:01:02Spires and I will go in the balcony.

1:01:02 > 1:01:06There won't be shooting, will there? DC's in the middle!

1:01:06 > 1:01:09- We'll try to surprise them. - Oh, man!

1:01:13 > 1:01:16- The front door is unlocked. - Good. Use the stairs.

1:01:18 > 1:01:20Cahill, Spires, are you in position?

1:01:20 > 1:01:22Ready.

1:01:22 > 1:01:23Go on in.

1:01:24 > 1:01:26THEY ALL SCREAM

1:01:26 > 1:01:29- What's the idea? - The cat came in here.

1:01:29 > 1:01:32Are you guys out of your mind? There's no c...

1:01:32 > 1:01:35HE GASPS, THEN SNEEZES

1:01:35 > 1:01:37What's the ma...

1:01:38 > 1:01:40CAT MIAOWS Oh, you poor darling.

1:01:40 > 1:01:42Frightened to death.

1:01:43 > 1:01:45- That... - HE SNEEZES

1:01:45 > 1:01:46..cat!

1:01:48 > 1:01:50HORN BLARES

1:01:52 > 1:01:56- Oh, good morning, Mr Benson. - Good morning, Mrs MacDougall.

1:01:56 > 1:01:58I hope Ingrid is feeling better.

1:01:58 > 1:02:00Better? Is something wrong?

1:02:00 > 1:02:04Well, I figured she was sick.

1:02:04 > 1:02:06She had the doctor over last night.

1:02:06 > 1:02:10Er... leastwise, I ASSUME he was the doctor.

1:02:10 > 1:02:12Er, who else

1:02:12 > 1:02:15would be up there, in her room?

1:02:16 > 1:02:18Exactly.

1:02:18 > 1:02:22Mrs MacDougall, just exactly what time was this?

1:02:22 > 1:02:26Look at the old buzzard. I can imagine what she's saying.

1:02:26 > 1:02:29"It's not my business, but there was a man in Ingrid's room."

1:02:29 > 1:02:33Hm. You won't tell him they're FBI men, will you? No-one must know.

1:02:33 > 1:02:36So I say the Iguanas Club is having fall manoeuvres here?

1:02:36 > 1:02:40You're a love, Inky. I know you won't give everything away.

1:02:40 > 1:02:42Miss Miller's life is in the balance.

1:02:42 > 1:02:44So does my car pool.

1:02:44 > 1:02:48My reputation won't be worth a nickel unless you get them out.

1:02:48 > 1:02:51- But think of Miss Miller. We have to co-operate.- Of course.

1:02:51 > 1:02:55However, the FBI has got along beautifully without using my room.

1:02:55 > 1:02:59I want Mr Whoever he is and his ham radio or whatever it is

1:02:59 > 1:03:02out by the time I get home, or I'll become very difficult.

1:03:02 > 1:03:05- Is that clear? - Yes. Quite clear.

1:03:05 > 1:03:07Have a nice day, Inky.

1:03:07 > 1:03:11Good morning, Ingrid. How do you feel this morning?

1:03:11 > 1:03:14Be careful, Gregory. Be extremely careful what you say.

1:03:14 > 1:03:18I've had no coffee, and I'm in no mood for irresponsible remarks.

1:03:18 > 1:03:20Oh.

1:03:27 > 1:03:29- KNOCK AT DOOR - Come in.

1:03:30 > 1:03:33Kelso. I was just looking at your report.

1:03:33 > 1:03:37Yes, sir. It may look a little peculiar on paper. If I amplify...

1:03:37 > 1:03:41All it needs is Chester Conklin and the Mack Sennett Bathing Girls.

1:03:41 > 1:03:45Ah, ha... that's very good, sir. But we did learn something.

1:03:45 > 1:03:49Yes, sir. Too many men on the detail. The informant, ie. the cat,

1:03:49 > 1:03:52became suspicious and disturbed. I felt we crowded him.

1:03:52 > 1:03:57That's the conclusion I reached. I've assigned the men to other work.

1:03:57 > 1:03:59Fine, sir. I won't need them.

1:03:59 > 1:04:02In fact, I've decided to wrap up this whole cat angle.

1:04:02 > 1:04:04You can go back to work on Johnny the Cooch.

1:04:04 > 1:04:06Mr Newton,

1:04:06 > 1:04:09I never wanted to be involved in this cat thing.

1:04:09 > 1:04:11However, I would like to try once more myself.

1:04:12 > 1:04:16Just how, alone, at night, can you follow this animal?

1:04:16 > 1:04:17With a transmitter, sir.

1:04:17 > 1:04:22- A transm... You want to bug the cat? - That's right.

1:04:23 > 1:04:25OK, Kelso. One more night.

1:04:25 > 1:04:27- One. No more. - Thank you, sir.

1:04:27 > 1:04:29And don't try to be a hero.

1:04:29 > 1:04:32- If you get anything, bring us in. - Absolutely, sir.

1:04:34 > 1:04:36I appreciate your help, Miss Randall.

1:04:36 > 1:04:38It's all right. Our parents are away.

1:04:38 > 1:04:41Don't worry about your reputation, Inky.

1:04:41 > 1:04:45Later we can explain why all these men were in your room.

1:04:45 > 1:04:48- Thanks.- We'll restore your image as a quiet, respectable girl,

1:04:48 > 1:04:51who wouldn't dream of getting involved with men.

1:04:51 > 1:04:54Oh, please. I don't mind being respectable,

1:04:54 > 1:04:56but I don't want to be known as a cold potato.

1:04:56 > 1:04:59I don't think there's any danger of that. Do you?

1:04:59 > 1:05:01No, I... hardly think so.

1:05:01 > 1:05:04- Thanks. - The collar's ready.

1:05:04 > 1:05:07OK. Shall I slip it on the informant?

1:05:07 > 1:05:10Oh, yes. Please.

1:05:10 > 1:05:11You'd never guess.

1:05:11 > 1:05:13- That's the bug. - Bug?

1:05:13 > 1:05:18Microphone. And here's a miniature transmitter. Sweet, isn't it?

1:05:21 > 1:05:23Wherever DC goes, Mr Kelso can hear everything.

1:05:23 > 1:05:27Conversation, music, footsteps - anything.

1:05:27 > 1:05:30But suppose DC simply shakes him off his trail?

1:05:30 > 1:05:32He did last night, didn't he?

1:05:32 > 1:05:35Impossible. Then the direction-finder goes to work.

1:05:35 > 1:05:38- Ah... Be careful with that, Patti. - Absolutely.

1:05:38 > 1:05:43You see, DC has a built-in beeper in his collar, which sends out signals,

1:05:43 > 1:05:45and they're picked up on this.

1:05:45 > 1:05:50Just by turning it, Mr Kelso can tell by that needle exactly where DC is.

1:05:50 > 1:05:52- Oh, come on, Patti. - I'll prove it.

1:05:52 > 1:05:54Look.

1:05:54 > 1:05:57I'll borrow the spare collar, hide you in the house...

1:05:59 > 1:06:02..and we'll get Mr Kelso to find you!

1:06:02 > 1:06:04Patti, don't be ridiculous. I've got things to do.

1:06:04 > 1:06:07You don't want to see how the government spends your taxes?

1:06:07 > 1:06:10You don't want him to think you're stuffy.

1:06:10 > 1:06:14Patti, I couldn't care less if the gentleman thinks I'm stuffy.

1:06:14 > 1:06:16Oh, it'll be fun! Here's the collar.

1:06:16 > 1:06:19- Hey, hey! - No, it works like a charm.

1:06:24 > 1:06:28- OK. Ingrid's all ready. - Good. Good.

1:06:28 > 1:06:29Ready for what?

1:06:29 > 1:06:32KNOCK AT DOOR Oh! Canoe!

1:06:32 > 1:06:34I promised I'd go to the drive-in.

1:06:34 > 1:06:36It's almost nine. Can you get rid of him?

1:06:36 > 1:06:39Yes. I'll do the Camille thing again.

1:06:39 > 1:06:42Hey, wait a minute! Is he liable to hang around?

1:06:42 > 1:06:46- Possibly. He's sweet, but fly-paper. - No, Patti, keep your date.

1:06:46 > 1:06:47Get him out of the area.

1:06:47 > 1:06:51This is my last surveillance. I can't risk gumming it up.

1:06:51 > 1:06:52Oh, but I wanted to help.

1:06:53 > 1:06:57Well, this will help, Patti. Now, please, hm? And hurry.

1:06:57 > 1:07:01All right. KNOCK AT DOOR

1:07:05 > 1:07:06Ergh!

1:07:06 > 1:07:09HE KNOCKS HARD I'm ready. Let's go.

1:07:09 > 1:07:13- I was going to make a sandwich. - Are you out of your mind?

1:07:13 > 1:07:16You'll miss the opening of Night Of The Surfer,

1:07:16 > 1:07:18with Kit Gladsby, King of the Roaring Surf?

1:07:18 > 1:07:21I thought these pictures made you seasick.

1:07:21 > 1:07:23Of course! Don't they everybody?

1:07:26 > 1:07:28'Mr Kelso, if you don't mind...

1:07:28 > 1:07:31- 'let's get going.' - Be patient. It's not nine o'clock.

1:07:35 > 1:07:37Say that again.

1:07:38 > 1:07:41- HE SNEEZES - 'Let's get going!'

1:07:44 > 1:07:46Now, wait a minute.

1:07:46 > 1:07:49Let's just... try and pull ourselves together here.

1:07:49 > 1:07:53'Patti, you little wretch, let me out of here! I'm suffocating!'

1:07:53 > 1:07:56Oh...

1:07:56 > 1:07:58Hey!

1:08:04 > 1:08:08- Patti! Let me out of here! - Patti's gone to the movies.

1:08:08 > 1:08:10Gone to the movies?

1:08:10 > 1:08:12Something seems to be stuck here.

1:08:12 > 1:08:14Open it! There's no air!

1:08:14 > 1:08:16Let me out! I'm suffocating!

1:08:16 > 1:08:19You'll be all right. I'll get a screwdriver.

1:08:19 > 1:08:21I'm suffocating! Let me out of here!

1:08:23 > 1:08:26I'm sorry, but the cat's going out now.

1:08:26 > 1:08:29- I've got to follow him. - Open the door!

1:08:29 > 1:08:32Let me out of here!

1:08:32 > 1:08:35- Help! - I'll be back as soon as I can.

1:08:35 > 1:08:40Probably just an hour or two. Lie on the floor. There'll be more air.

1:08:40 > 1:08:42I'm going to scream!

1:08:42 > 1:08:44Worst thing you can do.

1:08:44 > 1:08:47- Uses up all the air. - PIERCING SHRIEK

1:08:47 > 1:08:49I distinctly heard a woman scream.

1:08:49 > 1:08:53Right. And if you don't keep away from that door, you'll hear another.

1:09:05 > 1:09:07OK. Push.

1:09:11 > 1:09:14I'd have that latch fixed,

1:09:14 > 1:09:16if you go in there a lot.

1:09:16 > 1:09:20Excuse me, but I've got to run. I just hope I haven't lost him.

1:09:20 > 1:09:22Go ahead and follow that cat!

1:09:22 > 1:09:24And when you find him, do me a favour!

1:09:24 > 1:09:27The both of you just please stay there!

1:09:32 > 1:09:34BEEPING

1:09:42 > 1:09:43MOTORBIKE REVS

1:09:44 > 1:09:46Aahhh?

1:10:03 > 1:10:04DOG PANTS

1:10:08 > 1:10:10DOG SNARLS

1:10:12 > 1:10:13DOG BARKS

1:10:25 > 1:10:28Thank you, sir. Turn off your lights, please.

1:10:28 > 1:10:30Good evening, sir. Enjoy the show.

1:10:30 > 1:10:32Hey!

1:10:32 > 1:10:35You can't drive in without a car! Come on.

1:10:42 > 1:10:44CAT MIAOWS

1:10:49 > 1:10:52Lost something, mister? Your car, perhaps?

1:10:52 > 1:10:54- What's that thing? - Er, a litter meter.

1:10:54 > 1:10:58- For public places. - What business is that of yours?

1:10:58 > 1:11:01Health inspector. Boy, this place is a mess.

1:11:01 > 1:11:04It pushes the needle right off the scale. I bet you get mice.

1:11:04 > 1:11:07Sir, a mouse is no more permitted here

1:11:07 > 1:11:10- than a man without a car. - Why are there all these cats?

1:11:10 > 1:11:12There goes another one. Excuse me.

1:11:12 > 1:11:14Health inspector? Where's your badge?

1:11:14 > 1:11:16HORN BLARES

1:11:17 > 1:11:21There's sure something weird going on at your house.

1:11:21 > 1:11:24- What do you mean, weird? - Well, like,

1:11:25 > 1:11:28whose car is that parked outside all the time?

1:11:28 > 1:11:31Canoe, will you stop grilling me and watch?

1:11:31 > 1:11:32Wow! Isn't he something?

1:11:32 > 1:11:35And that's another thing.

1:11:35 > 1:11:39How come you like surf movies? You said they made you seasick.

1:11:39 > 1:11:43If you ask me, you're the one who's coming on weird lately.

1:11:43 > 1:11:45You used to be so sweet.

1:11:45 > 1:11:49Aw, I don't know what's happening. I'm all churned up inside.

1:11:49 > 1:11:54Tell you what. Go and get a nice pizza to settle your stomach.

1:11:54 > 1:11:56I don't feel like a pizza.

1:11:56 > 1:11:59Well, for Pete's sake stop grumbling and watch the movie!

1:11:59 > 1:12:04Oh, all these surf pictures look alike.

1:12:31 > 1:12:34DC!

1:12:34 > 1:12:39Oh, DC, what are you doing? You should be prowling.

1:12:39 > 1:12:42What are you getting so hysterical for? If he wants to stay, let him.

1:12:42 > 1:12:45I certainly will not. You know what you're supposed to do.

1:12:45 > 1:12:49Now get with it! Make the scene.

1:12:49 > 1:12:51Take off.

1:12:52 > 1:12:54SHE COUGHS

1:12:55 > 1:12:57My smoking bother you?

1:12:57 > 1:13:02I like the smell. It's the fumes from all those matches.

1:13:02 > 1:13:06- Can't you keep it lit? - All right. All right. Forget it.

1:13:06 > 1:13:08Forget it.

1:13:09 > 1:13:11I'm sorry, Canoe.

1:13:11 > 1:13:14I guess neither of us is in a very good mood.

1:13:14 > 1:13:16You can say that again.

1:13:19 > 1:13:23Why don't we just settle down and watch this fascinating movie?

1:13:29 > 1:13:31Oof...

1:13:45 > 1:13:48HORNS BLARE

1:13:53 > 1:13:57It's DC! What on earth's he doing there?

1:13:57 > 1:14:00HORNS CONTINUE

1:14:02 > 1:14:05Hey, what... don't do that! You'll disturb him!

1:14:05 > 1:14:09- What's he doing to my customers? - I insist. Don't disturb that cat.

1:14:09 > 1:14:12- Burton, get that cat down! - Whatever you say!

1:14:12 > 1:14:14Burton, keep your paws off that cat!

1:14:14 > 1:14:16HORNS BLARE

1:14:50 > 1:14:52Excuse me!

1:15:07 > 1:15:09Well, that was a fine picture.

1:15:09 > 1:15:11- Take me home now, Canoe. - Home?

1:15:11 > 1:15:14Yeah, haven't you seen enough of this thing?

1:15:14 > 1:15:17I thought you liked it. It isn't halfway through.

1:15:17 > 1:15:19Oh, please, Canoe.

1:15:19 > 1:15:23Patti, sometimes you're not the easiest person to get along with.

1:15:45 > 1:15:47PIGEONS COO

1:15:54 > 1:15:57That, ah...car's still here, I see.

1:15:57 > 1:16:00Don't start again. Good night, Canoe. Thank you for the movie.

1:16:00 > 1:16:03I'm not coming in for a sandwich?

1:16:03 > 1:16:04Correct. And good night.

1:16:04 > 1:16:08Patti, I warn you, you're going to push me too far. I demand to know

1:16:08 > 1:16:12- what's going on around here! - Oh, don't be such a drag. Go home.

1:16:12 > 1:16:16- Well, you don't have to go away mad. - DOOR SLAMS

1:16:27 > 1:16:28GUNSHOT

1:16:44 > 1:16:47CLATTER

1:16:47 > 1:16:49All right. Let's go back to beddy-byes.

1:16:49 > 1:16:53And who, may I ask, put that table there?

1:16:53 > 1:16:55I haven't the faintest idea.

1:17:03 > 1:17:04Which way did he go?

1:17:04 > 1:17:06- WHEEZES:- There.

1:17:09 > 1:17:11Don't answer! They're shooting outside!

1:17:11 > 1:17:16DC! I know it's DC! They're bringing back his poor lifeless body!

1:17:16 > 1:17:18DC! No, they missed him by a mile.

1:17:19 > 1:17:22- You're lying! Where is he? - Hold it. I've got to call in.

1:17:22 > 1:17:26- That cat can blow this case open. - You mean bank robbers?

1:17:26 > 1:17:30I don't want to jump to conclusions, but we stirred up a hornets' nest.

1:17:30 > 1:17:35Agent Kelso requesting Main Control. Emergency.

1:17:36 > 1:17:37HE SNEEZES KNOCK AT DOOR

1:17:37 > 1:17:41Oh, DC! There you are! Did they hurt you?

1:17:41 > 1:17:43However did you find them?

1:17:43 > 1:17:46Well, I was trailing DC through a yard down the street,

1:17:46 > 1:17:50And he roused some pigeons, and person or persons unknown

1:17:50 > 1:17:52- let off a shotgun. - KNOCKING

1:17:52 > 1:17:55- 'Main Control.'- Kelso. I have something worth looking into.

1:17:55 > 1:17:59That wasn't bank robbers. That was your nasty Gregory,

1:17:59 > 1:18:03KNOCK AT DOOR shooting at DC!

1:18:03 > 1:18:04Who's Gregory?

1:18:04 > 1:18:07He lives down the street. He keeps pigeons.

1:18:07 > 1:18:09- 'Go ahead, Kelso.' - KNOCKING

1:18:11 > 1:18:13- Oh boy. - 'Kelso!'

1:18:13 > 1:18:16- KNOCKING - Uh...

1:18:16 > 1:18:21the situation I was talking about, sir, just checked out... negative.

1:18:21 > 1:18:24- KNOCK AT DOOR - Step aside, please! Where is he?

1:18:24 > 1:18:27Where do you think you're going? To kill DC?

1:18:27 > 1:18:30I didn't shoot the rotten beast. Though I should have.

1:18:30 > 1:18:32- Anything wrong? - Yes, there certainly is.

1:18:32 > 1:18:36- You're not going to murder DC! - I am not after your moronic cat!

1:18:36 > 1:18:39- I'm after the man following him! - MAN?

1:18:39 > 1:18:41A prowler, acting in a very peculiar manner.

1:18:41 > 1:18:45- Let's we go into the living room and talk about it.- INGRID!

1:18:45 > 1:18:48I am going through this house, to make sure

1:18:48 > 1:18:50that prowler did not sneak in here!

1:18:50 > 1:18:53I've got an emergency, sir. I've got to break.

1:18:53 > 1:18:56- I...I hardly think that's necessary! - Nevertheless!

1:18:56 > 1:18:59I am going up!

1:18:59 > 1:19:02After all, there's just you girls in the house.

1:19:02 > 1:19:04I would never forgive myself

1:19:04 > 1:19:07if I woke up tomorrow and found you'd been murdered.

1:19:07 > 1:19:10You've got a nerve, bursting into my room.

1:19:10 > 1:19:15Now, Ingrid. I want you to believe my paramount thought is your safety.

1:19:15 > 1:19:18We're perfectly safe, Gregory. There's no prowler.

1:19:18 > 1:19:20I am no man for half measures.

1:19:20 > 1:19:24I shall not rest till I have searched every inch of this house.

1:19:24 > 1:19:27Gregory Benson, you will not tramp around my room.

1:19:27 > 1:19:31And put down that ridiculous gun before you shoot somebody.

1:19:31 > 1:19:32Let me assure you, Ingrid,

1:19:32 > 1:19:35I am extremely familiar with this firearm.

1:19:35 > 1:19:38- HE GASPS - Gregory, if you don't get out,

1:19:38 > 1:19:41this very instant, I shall scream.

1:19:41 > 1:19:42I have no intention of leaving...

1:19:42 > 1:19:44CAT SCREECHES

1:19:46 > 1:19:49Excuse me. The wiring seems OK, Miss Randall.

1:19:49 > 1:19:51- Wiring? - Yes. But don't hesitate to call.

1:19:51 > 1:19:54- Just a minute. - No, no thank you.

1:19:54 > 1:19:56You just WAIT!

1:19:57 > 1:20:00I certainly hope you don't think I am goof enough

1:20:00 > 1:20:03to believe you were in a closet to fix the wiring.

1:20:03 > 1:20:06- Gregory, if I may say... - Because,

1:20:06 > 1:20:09IF you think I think that,

1:20:09 > 1:20:11you have another think coming.

1:20:11 > 1:20:15Er, I'm afraid we'll have to take this gentleman into our confidence.

1:20:15 > 1:20:19YOU will take ME into NOTHING. I want nothing to do with you!

1:20:19 > 1:20:20When you hear the circumstances...

1:20:20 > 1:20:24I have borne witness to all the circumstances I care for,

1:20:24 > 1:20:27thank you very much. How come he knows your name?

1:20:28 > 1:20:31Is HE one of the men Mrs MacDougall was talking about?

1:20:31 > 1:20:34I couldn't say. Who do YOU think he is?

1:20:34 > 1:20:37I shudder to think.

1:20:37 > 1:20:39I really do.

1:20:39 > 1:20:43All I can say is that it opens up a fascinating area for conjecture.

1:20:43 > 1:20:46Don't be such a complete floop, Gregory.

1:20:46 > 1:20:49- It's perfectly easy to explain. - Patricia, don't say a word,

1:20:49 > 1:20:51or I'll slap your face.

1:20:51 > 1:20:54- We explain NOTHING to Mr Benson. - Well!

1:20:54 > 1:20:58I hope you realise, Ingrid, Mother will take this very badly.

1:20:58 > 1:21:01- Doesn't she always? - Ingrid!

1:21:01 > 1:21:04There's no reason for you to cast a slur upon my mother!

1:21:04 > 1:21:07She, after all, is an innocent party.

1:21:07 > 1:21:10Yes. Good night.

1:21:10 > 1:21:12Oh. And just one more thing...

1:21:13 > 1:21:17..I suggest you find yourself another car pool.

1:21:37 > 1:21:39Well, goodbye, Gregory.

1:21:39 > 1:21:43Oh, Inky, I'm sorry. It was all my fault.

1:21:43 > 1:21:45Oh, it's all for the best, I suppose.

1:21:47 > 1:21:50Um, well, goodbye, and thanks for your co-operation.

1:21:50 > 1:21:53- Goodbye? - I've been assigned to a new lead.

1:21:53 > 1:21:57- I've got orders to wrap up the operation.- Why?

1:21:57 > 1:22:01Well, my boss thinks we're getting nowhere with cat surveillance.

1:22:01 > 1:22:06I haven't one shred of evidence to connect the cat with the criminals.

1:22:06 > 1:22:09But Miss Miller's watch is evidence.

1:22:09 > 1:22:13Patti, the office reported on all local jewellers and watchmakers.

1:22:13 > 1:22:16Nothing indicates the watch was Margaret Miller's.

1:22:16 > 1:22:20- But it does! You know it does! - No, I don't know it does, Patti.

1:22:20 > 1:22:23It's a theory, and we can't waste time on it.

1:22:23 > 1:22:27Oh, I think that's horrible. And what about Miss Miller?

1:22:27 > 1:22:30You're just abandoning her to those criminals?

1:22:30 > 1:22:33That's enough of that, Patti.

1:22:33 > 1:22:35Patti tends to over dramatise things.

1:22:35 > 1:22:39And she has this diabolical knack of getting everybody involved.

1:22:39 > 1:22:42No, no, it... was a good idea, in a way.

1:22:42 > 1:22:44We had to be sure.

1:22:44 > 1:22:47So long, Patti.

1:22:47 > 1:22:49- Goodbye. Oh, I'm sorry. - Oh.

1:22:49 > 1:22:51Yes, sorry. Goodbye now.

1:22:51 > 1:22:53I don't know what you must think of me.

1:22:53 > 1:22:56Whenever we've met, I've lost my temper.

1:22:56 > 1:22:58That's all right. We meet all kinds.

1:22:58 > 1:23:02Er, that wasn't, er... what I meant to say. I, um...

1:23:02 > 1:23:04That's OK.

1:23:04 > 1:23:06So long now.

1:23:06 > 1:23:08Bye.

1:23:15 > 1:23:20You know, he has an attractive way of putting his foot in his mouth.

1:23:20 > 1:23:21What did you say his name was?

1:23:21 > 1:23:23Zeke Kelso.

1:23:23 > 1:23:25Hm. Well, no matter. Let's go to bed.

1:23:25 > 1:23:30Tomorrow, if you don't mind, let's get the house back to normal.

1:23:30 > 1:23:32Whatever you say.

1:23:34 > 1:23:36More evidence.

1:23:36 > 1:23:38That's what they want, is it?

1:23:42 > 1:23:44Hey! Get out of it. CAT MIAOWS

1:24:36 > 1:24:37- NO! NO, NO, NO, NO! - Why?

1:24:37 > 1:24:40I wouldn't hear of it! Absolutely not!

1:24:40 > 1:24:43Besides, it's definitely none of my business.

1:24:43 > 1:24:47Of course it's your business! That's ridiculous!

1:24:47 > 1:24:50We can, and we've got to! We must save Miss Miller!

1:24:50 > 1:24:52No! No! I'm no hero!

1:24:52 > 1:24:55- Look at me! Do I look like Eliot Ness?- No!

1:24:55 > 1:24:57That's the thing! I'm not a hero!

1:24:57 > 1:24:59Not only will I not get mixed up in it,

1:24:59 > 1:25:02I'm extremely disinterested in the whole thing!

1:25:02 > 1:25:06- Do me, don't get excited, just do me a favour....- Please?

1:25:06 > 1:25:08Please leave me alone. I'm very busy.

1:25:08 > 1:25:11Please, Mr Hofstedder, just listen to me.

1:25:11 > 1:25:13I know you well. You're a sweet man.

1:25:13 > 1:25:17You'd never forgive yourself if something terrible

1:25:17 > 1:25:20happened to Miss Miller. I can just see the headlines.

1:25:20 > 1:25:23"Mr Hofstedder, he could have saved her."

1:25:25 > 1:25:27Would it...would it say that?

1:25:27 > 1:25:30- OF COURSE it would! - Wait a minute! Don't get excited!

1:25:30 > 1:25:34You don't do a thing. Just back me up if I get in trouble.

1:25:34 > 1:25:37- Yeah, but...who are you calling? - It's all right. Just the FBI.

1:25:37 > 1:25:39Oh, the FB... THE FBI?

1:25:42 > 1:25:46Well, ah...sir, I just hated to give up on this cat angle.

1:25:46 > 1:25:49Zeke, you know we haven't an iota of evidence

1:25:49 > 1:25:51to connect Margaret Miller and the watch.

1:25:51 > 1:25:53BUZZER Yes?

1:25:53 > 1:25:56- 'Emergency call for Agent Kelso.' - Put it through.

1:25:56 > 1:25:58Agent Kelso.

1:25:58 > 1:26:02HEAVY ACCENT: This is Dorothy Hofstedder,

1:26:02 > 1:26:06Hofstedder's Jewellery Store, 1833 West Mapleton Avenue.

1:26:06 > 1:26:08Yes, Miss Hofstedder? May I help you?

1:26:08 > 1:26:13I heard you were looking for information concerning a watch.

1:26:13 > 1:26:16Yes, we are.

1:26:16 > 1:26:18Well, a couple of weeks ago,

1:26:18 > 1:26:23a woman came into the shop to buy a band for her watch,

1:26:24 > 1:26:26ah, with the name...

1:26:26 > 1:26:29Miss Margaret Miller.

1:26:29 > 1:26:33Margaret Miller. Would you describe this band you sold to Miss Miller?

1:26:33 > 1:26:37Ah, expandable,

1:26:37 > 1:26:40it was...gold-plated,

1:26:40 > 1:26:42rather inferior. Not expensive.

1:26:42 > 1:26:44And the watch?

1:26:44 > 1:26:4917 jewels, rather rectangular shaped,

1:26:49 > 1:26:54with, er... with raised filigree... things on the face.

1:26:54 > 1:26:56Rectangular, with raised filigree.

1:26:56 > 1:26:59Miss Hofstedder, why didn't you come forward before?

1:26:59 > 1:27:02Well, I was away,

1:27:02 > 1:27:05on my holiday.

1:27:05 > 1:27:07To Mexico. On a bus.

1:27:07 > 1:27:09Will you be in town?

1:27:09 > 1:27:11Oh, yes. I will be here

1:27:11 > 1:27:14any time you want to talk to me on the phone.

1:27:14 > 1:27:17Thank you very much for your co-operation. Goodbye.

1:27:17 > 1:27:20That's it! The tie-up. Can I move?

1:27:20 > 1:27:23- Just a moment. Miss Hargreave? - 'Yes, sir?'

1:27:23 > 1:27:27Will you get me Mr Hofstedder at 1833 West Mapleton, please?

1:27:27 > 1:27:29- He's a jeweller. - 'Yes, sir.'

1:27:29 > 1:27:33I don't, ah... I don't buy that just yet.

1:27:33 > 1:27:35- I want a cross-check. - Of course, sir.

1:27:35 > 1:27:37Let me see that watch again.

1:27:37 > 1:27:39BUZZER

1:27:39 > 1:27:42- Yes? - 'Mr Hofstedder on the line, sir.'

1:27:42 > 1:27:44Thank you.

1:27:44 > 1:27:46How do you do, Mr Hofstedder.

1:27:46 > 1:27:50I'm speaking for Mr Kelso 626 0025,

1:27:50 > 1:27:53Did you place a call here a few moments ago?

1:27:53 > 1:27:57(It's the FBI!)

1:28:00 > 1:28:02Mr Hofstedder?

1:28:06 > 1:28:08Yes!

1:28:08 > 1:28:10Yes. That was us.

1:28:13 > 1:28:15My niece. From Mexico, you know?

1:28:15 > 1:28:20Yes. Oh, the wristband? She...

1:28:22 > 1:28:24..she sold it.

1:28:24 > 1:28:25She's from Mexico.

1:28:25 > 1:28:28No, I'm Mr Hofstedder.

1:28:28 > 1:28:30My niece sold it.

1:28:30 > 1:28:34Thank you very much, Mr Hofstedder. Appreciate the co-operation.

1:28:34 > 1:28:36We won't forget you. Goodbye.

1:28:37 > 1:28:39OK. That's it. Let's go.

1:28:39 > 1:28:42Oh, thank you, thank you! You are a darling! Thank you!

1:28:46 > 1:28:50I wonder what they meant when they said they wouldn't forget.

1:28:52 > 1:28:54KNOCK AT DOOR

1:28:59 > 1:29:01Found a spot? Found a spot?

1:29:01 > 1:29:03Cool it! Go into the kitchen, ma'am.

1:29:03 > 1:29:06- We got business. - Don't kill me, please.

1:29:06 > 1:29:09- I won't give you away. - Now, take it easy, sweetheart.

1:29:09 > 1:29:12It's nothing to do with you. In the kitchen, OK?

1:29:12 > 1:29:15Don't let him do it, Dan. You're not a murderer.

1:29:15 > 1:29:17You're not like he is.

1:29:17 > 1:29:19Hey, wow! Listen to the con woman!

1:29:19 > 1:29:23I...I don't want to...die.

1:29:23 > 1:29:28Now who said anything about killing? Come on. Into the kitchen. Come on.

1:29:48 > 1:29:50How do I know you won't botch it?

1:29:50 > 1:29:54I ain't an amateur. You're talking to an old pro.

1:30:14 > 1:30:18Nice try. Another minute, you'd have had the Fire Department here.

1:30:18 > 1:30:19You can't trust anybody, right?

1:30:19 > 1:30:21Sorry...

1:30:21 > 1:30:23we can't afford to have you around no longer.

1:30:24 > 1:30:26Come on!

1:30:45 > 1:30:47What goes on in that pea brain of yours?

1:30:49 > 1:30:50Oh, no...

1:30:50 > 1:30:52I forgot about the loot. Forgot!

1:30:56 > 1:30:59KNOCK AT DOOR

1:30:59 > 1:31:01- Who is it? - It's the landlady, Mrs Taven.

1:31:01 > 1:31:02Go away. We're busy.

1:31:02 > 1:31:04SHE SNIFFS

1:31:04 > 1:31:08- Is that smoke coming out of there? - No. Now beat it!

1:31:08 > 1:31:10You open that door!

1:31:10 > 1:31:12All right, I've got my pass key.

1:31:12 > 1:31:14I'm coming in.

1:31:16 > 1:31:18What's the idea?

1:31:18 > 1:31:21You can't keep me out of here. City Ordonnance IV...

1:31:21 > 1:31:25We weren't trying to, ma'am. Just straightening up the place a bit.

1:31:25 > 1:31:27Don't like you to see it all crumbed up.

1:31:27 > 1:31:29That smoke smell IS in here.

1:31:29 > 1:31:33Those rotten cigars Iggy smokes. Kinda turn your stomach.

1:31:33 > 1:31:35- OK. Where's the woman? - Who?

1:31:35 > 1:31:37Your old lady. I brought her some soup.

1:31:37 > 1:31:40Aww, now. That's very kind of you.

1:31:41 > 1:31:43Mmm! Smells good.

1:31:43 > 1:31:44Vegetable.

1:31:44 > 1:31:47In the bedroom. Too sick to see anyone.

1:31:47 > 1:31:49- She's in rough shape. Really bad... - (Shut up.)

1:31:49 > 1:31:52I can't say how much we appreciate you coming in.

1:31:52 > 1:31:54Never mind the snow job.

1:31:54 > 1:31:57There are three people living in this apartment

1:31:57 > 1:31:59and that'll cost you...

1:31:59 > 1:32:0220 bucks!

1:32:02 > 1:32:04That makes us even.

1:32:04 > 1:32:06Goodbye. And don't worry about Mother,

1:32:06 > 1:32:09she ain't gonna be with us long.

1:32:09 > 1:32:11That don't mean you get the 20 bucks back.

1:32:11 > 1:32:14Of course not. Good night, and sleep well.

1:32:14 > 1:32:17You're going to bed after the news as usual, I suppose?

1:32:17 > 1:32:19Just hold the noise down.

1:32:19 > 1:32:21My sister's visiting and she don't sleep good.

1:32:21 > 1:32:26- Your sister's staying here with you? - From Corona. She's a prison matron.

1:32:30 > 1:32:32Lucky I got that 20 back, right?

1:32:32 > 1:32:36What if that hot serial number turned up in a drugstore...

1:32:37 > 1:32:4040,000 pads in this city.

1:32:40 > 1:32:44And you pick one sat on top of a human radar station!

1:32:44 > 1:32:46With a sister that can't sleep nights,

1:32:46 > 1:32:49because she's a head roach at the state birdhouse!

1:32:49 > 1:32:51So we've got two of them down there

1:32:51 > 1:32:54flapping their ears waiting for us to do something stupid!

1:33:03 > 1:33:07Control. Agent Graham in. Our unit in position.

1:33:07 > 1:33:10You will monitor Agent Kelso's movements.

1:33:10 > 1:33:14But initiate no action till you get the word from me.

1:33:14 > 1:33:15'Affirmative.'

1:33:15 > 1:33:19Be prepared for the possibility of strong-armed resistance.

1:33:19 > 1:33:20All units stand by.

1:33:20 > 1:33:23I've got a funny feeling about DC, going out tonight.

1:33:24 > 1:33:28Poor thing, alone and helpless in the middle of all this.

1:33:28 > 1:33:29Pull yourself together.

1:33:29 > 1:33:32That cat's as helpless as the US Marine Corps.

1:33:32 > 1:33:34PHONE RINGS

1:33:38 > 1:33:39Hello?

1:33:39 > 1:33:40Hi, Patti.

1:33:40 > 1:33:42Hi, Canoe.

1:33:42 > 1:33:44You feel all right?

1:33:44 > 1:33:45Fine.

1:33:45 > 1:33:47What you been doing today?

1:33:47 > 1:33:50Oh er...nothing much.

1:33:52 > 1:33:53Er... Funny thing.

1:33:53 > 1:33:57I just happened to be driving by the house a little while ago.

1:33:57 > 1:34:00You know, that same blue car is still parked out front.

1:34:00 > 1:34:02Really?

1:34:04 > 1:34:05Well, um...

1:34:05 > 1:34:07is it all right if I come over for a while?

1:34:07 > 1:34:09No. Not tonight, Canoe, I, er...

1:34:10 > 1:34:13..oh, I've got this ghastly headache.

1:34:14 > 1:34:17You just said you felt fine a minute ago.

1:34:17 > 1:34:19Well... CLOCK CHIMES

1:34:19 > 1:34:22..fine considering the condition I'm in.

1:34:22 > 1:34:25Can't you ever understand?

1:34:25 > 1:34:27Miss Randall, would you cut the call?

1:34:28 > 1:34:30Who... Who was that talking?

1:34:32 > 1:34:34Ingrid.

1:34:34 > 1:34:37Yes, it was Ingrid. She always has this deep, deep voice

1:34:37 > 1:34:39when she comes out of the shower.

1:34:39 > 1:34:41Thanks a lot, dear.

1:34:41 > 1:34:45OK. Well, you just get yourself a good night's sleep

1:34:45 > 1:34:47and I'll see you tomorrow.

1:34:47 > 1:34:50Good night, Canoe.

1:34:52 > 1:34:55OK, dream girl, if that's the way you want to play it...

1:35:02 > 1:35:05How about a little push to get him started?

1:35:05 > 1:35:07I'm afraid not, Mr Newton.

1:35:07 > 1:35:11None of you really understand cats.

1:35:11 > 1:35:15If someone was to go along tonight, someone whom he trusts...

1:35:15 > 1:35:17No, Miss Randall.

1:35:17 > 1:35:19But supposing DC loses you again?

1:35:19 > 1:35:22- He's really diabolically clever. KELSO:- Look...

1:35:35 > 1:35:37Mr Newton, don't you think...

1:35:37 > 1:35:40No!

1:35:49 > 1:35:50CAT MIAOWS

1:35:54 > 1:35:56He's on the back porch listening to a bird.

1:35:56 > 1:35:58BIRDSONG

1:36:00 > 1:36:03How I let myself be talked into this...

1:36:03 > 1:36:07I thought Mr Kelso said you were going to give up the cat theory.

1:36:07 > 1:36:08A new lead came up today

1:36:08 > 1:36:10to support it.

1:36:10 > 1:36:14Mr Hofstedder rang Mr Kelso about the watch - or his niece did. She...

1:36:16 > 1:36:18How did you know about Hofstedder?

1:36:20 > 1:36:23Well, his store is only a few blocks away from here,

1:36:23 > 1:36:27and we're very good friends. I mean, his niece and I.

1:36:27 > 1:36:29Did Agent Kelso mention it to you?

1:36:30 > 1:36:32Mmm...

1:36:32 > 1:36:35- 'He's starting to move.' - Easy, Zeke. Easy does it.

1:36:35 > 1:36:38Well, as long as you won't be needing me...

1:37:28 > 1:37:31- Just where are you going? - None of your business.

1:37:31 > 1:37:34Not that I wouldn't like you out of the way...

1:37:34 > 1:37:36Wilbur, there's something fishy going on,

1:37:36 > 1:37:39and I won't close my eyes to it like you do.

1:37:39 > 1:37:42I won't be an ostrich and bury MY head in the sand.

1:37:42 > 1:37:45Why don't you try it? It might improve your appearance.

1:37:45 > 1:37:47I know my duty!

1:37:47 > 1:37:49Good luck, old woman.

1:37:49 > 1:37:52I always say, if you got a duty,

1:37:52 > 1:37:55you ought to do it.

1:37:57 > 1:38:00Get me the police.

1:38:00 > 1:38:03Police? I want to report a prowler.

1:38:03 > 1:38:06He's dressed like an old woman.

1:38:06 > 1:38:10Running around looking in windows. No telling what he's up to.

1:38:10 > 1:38:11Yeah.

1:38:11 > 1:38:15And tell your men to be careful. He's dangerous!

1:38:42 > 1:38:44That's the 402 all right.

1:38:51 > 1:38:54All right, all right! Relax, buddy. Take it nice and easy.

1:38:54 > 1:38:56SHE CRIES OUT

1:38:56 > 1:38:59Drop the hookey scream, mister, we know who you are.

1:38:59 > 1:39:03- Careful, the guy might be dangerous. - Guy?! What are you talking about?

1:39:03 > 1:39:05SHE GIGGLES

1:39:05 > 1:39:10Fella, if I was going out to pull a job I wouldn't wear women's clothes.

1:39:10 > 1:39:13You don't have the face for it. Now come on.

1:39:32 > 1:39:34Aaagh!

1:40:05 > 1:40:07SQUELCHY FOOTSTEPS

1:40:08 > 1:40:10SQUELCHY FOOTSTEPS

1:40:14 > 1:40:16SQUELCHY FOOTSTEPS

1:40:38 > 1:40:40SQUELCHING

1:41:21 > 1:41:23CAR IGNITION STARTS

1:41:43 > 1:41:45I've lost visual contact with the informant.

1:41:45 > 1:41:47Do you make him on the scope?

1:41:47 > 1:41:50Only faintly. He may be headed back for the pike.

1:41:50 > 1:41:52'About 100 feet north of this position.'

1:41:52 > 1:41:55OK, get after him. Report when you get a visual.

1:41:55 > 1:41:56Yes, sir.

1:42:03 > 1:42:06# Oh, it's unloading time

1:42:06 > 1:42:08# Oh, it's unloading time

1:42:08 > 1:42:09# It's unloading time

1:42:09 > 1:42:12# Oh, it's a unloading time... #

1:42:15 > 1:42:17- KNOCKING - Iggy?

1:42:20 > 1:42:21Hey. Know what I got...

1:42:21 > 1:42:22ready for this?

1:42:22 > 1:42:25A laundry truck filled with bags of laundry (!)

1:42:25 > 1:42:27In the bedroom. Make it quick.

1:42:27 > 1:42:29- CAT MIAOWS - Why did you bring that in?

1:42:29 > 1:42:31Hey, fella.

1:42:31 > 1:42:34Where did you come from, huh?

1:42:34 > 1:42:38You wait here. I've a little business to do, then you can have some milk.

1:42:38 > 1:42:41CAT MIAOWS

1:42:41 > 1:42:43'Will you get rid of the cat and finish her off?

1:42:43 > 1:42:45'Think it's best done here or in the truck?

1:42:45 > 1:42:48'Here. Never get the blighter down the stairs.'

1:42:54 > 1:42:57This is it, Control. 132 8th Street.

1:42:57 > 1:43:01OK, we've got it. All units move in. Kelso, hold off till we get there.

1:43:01 > 1:43:02CAT MIAOWS

1:43:02 > 1:43:06I can't wait. I've got a situation here, it's breaking wide open.

1:43:18 > 1:43:22Iggy! Get this thing off of me, will you? Come on, get him off.

1:43:22 > 1:43:23This is my old buddy!

1:43:23 > 1:43:25Your old buddy (!) Get him out of here.

1:43:27 > 1:43:29- What's the matter? - I don't know.

1:43:29 > 1:43:31Hey, look. It's some sort of...

1:43:31 > 1:43:33Ssh, ssh.

1:43:36 > 1:43:39- The cat's bugged! - KNOCK AT DOOR

1:43:47 > 1:43:48Hello there.

1:43:48 > 1:43:51I wonder if you can help me? I seem to have lost a cat.

1:43:52 > 1:43:55Oh, yes. I was wondering who that cat belonged to.

1:43:55 > 1:43:57- Come right in. - Thank you.

1:43:57 > 1:44:01You know, till you have a cat of your own, you really...

1:44:01 > 1:44:04Ah. Well, there he is. I hope he hasn't been bothering you.

1:44:04 > 1:44:05Not at all.

1:44:05 > 1:44:10Well, I er...guess you've really been missing your old daddy.

1:44:11 > 1:44:13He likes to play games.

1:44:13 > 1:44:15Doesn't seem to like you very much.

1:44:15 > 1:44:17Actually, it's my wife's cat.

1:44:17 > 1:44:18To be very honest with you,

1:44:18 > 1:44:21we barely tolerate each other.

1:44:21 > 1:44:24- You live in this building? - Upstairs, near the front.

1:44:24 > 1:44:27- Funny. I haven't seen you before. - It's funny.

1:44:27 > 1:44:31- I work nights at the aircraft plant. - Interesting thing about that cat.

1:44:31 > 1:44:33Had a thing on its collar.

1:44:33 > 1:44:37I could be wrong, but...it looked like a miniature radio transmitter.

1:44:37 > 1:44:39He is a character.

1:44:39 > 1:44:43I always say to my wife, what will he drag home next?

1:44:43 > 1:44:45- You know something, mister? - What?

1:44:45 > 1:44:47I don't think that's your cat.

1:44:47 > 1:44:48Or that you work

1:44:48 > 1:44:51over at the aircraft plant.

1:44:51 > 1:44:54Or that you have a little wife who lives upstairs

1:44:54 > 1:44:56near the front.

1:44:56 > 1:44:58- KNOCK AT DOOR - Take it.

1:44:58 > 1:45:00CAT MIAOWS

1:45:03 > 1:45:07There you are, lambie pie. And you've found him!

1:45:07 > 1:45:10Oh, my sweet, sweet darling. We've been so worried about you.

1:45:10 > 1:45:14- Haven't we, dearest? - Er, yes, we certainly have.

1:45:14 > 1:45:17I'll handle it from now on. You run on back upstairs.

1:45:17 > 1:45:19Not at all. I want to help.

1:45:19 > 1:45:22- Aren't you very young to be married? - Why not? We were in love.

1:45:22 > 1:45:24"L'amour toujours." You know?

1:45:26 > 1:45:28Too bad he didn't buy you a wedding ring.

1:45:28 > 1:45:33She's always losing things. I've found your cat, dear. Run along.

1:45:33 > 1:45:34Why don't we all go?

1:45:34 > 1:45:38No need to impose on these nice gentlemen any more. Come on.

1:45:38 > 1:45:39One minute.

1:45:39 > 1:45:41Now who's kidding who? Huh?

1:45:41 > 1:45:45Dear... Would you let go of my arm? Please?

1:45:46 > 1:45:48Iggy, get the money. We're cutting out.

1:45:48 > 1:45:50What about the old broad?

1:45:50 > 1:45:52Change of plans. Forget Old Broad.

1:45:52 > 1:45:54We'll take Little Miss Nosy instead.

1:45:55 > 1:45:59- And I'll take care of you, copper. - You ought to leave her out of this.

1:45:59 > 1:46:00You're telling me what to do?

1:46:00 > 1:46:02- Right. - Please be careful.

1:46:02 > 1:46:05Oh, sweetness. I wouldn't hurt you.

1:46:05 > 1:46:08I don't care about you. But DC's getting frightened,

1:46:08 > 1:46:10and he always behaves so badly when...

1:46:10 > 1:46:12DC SNARLS ANGRILY

1:46:16 > 1:46:18Hold it.

1:46:19 > 1:46:21HE SNEEZES

1:46:34 > 1:46:36Hey!

1:46:37 > 1:46:39What are you doing, what are you doing...?

1:46:51 > 1:46:52Let go!

1:46:54 > 1:46:56Agh! Agh! Agh!

1:47:01 > 1:47:03Aaagh!

1:47:09 > 1:47:11My money... My money!

1:47:12 > 1:47:15- Aww... - CAT MIAOWS

1:47:16 > 1:47:18That darn cat!

1:47:21 > 1:47:23Is that too much?

1:47:23 > 1:47:27If DC wasn't bad enough before... There'll be no living with him now.

1:47:27 > 1:47:29He's not a bit afraid.

1:47:29 > 1:47:31He has a really nice jaw line

1:47:31 > 1:47:34and this picture gives him a double chin.

1:47:34 > 1:47:35- Who? - Zeke.

1:47:35 > 1:47:39The girl that marries him... "Mrs Zeke Kelso."

1:47:39 > 1:47:43It sounds like something that got caught in the clothes dryer.

1:47:43 > 1:47:47Wow... Look at how your gentleman friend spends his nights.

1:47:48 > 1:47:50Canoe!

1:47:50 > 1:47:52Look, the poor darling.

1:47:52 > 1:47:54How do you suppose he did that?

1:47:54 > 1:47:55CAR HORN BEEPS

1:47:57 > 1:47:59What was he doing caught up in a garage door?

1:47:59 > 1:48:01I haven't the faintest idea.

1:48:01 > 1:48:03Good morning, good morning!

1:48:03 > 1:48:06Well, Gregory. I'm surprised to see you.

1:48:06 > 1:48:09Good morning, Patricia.

1:48:09 > 1:48:11And how is our little celebrity?

1:48:12 > 1:48:13Ow!

1:48:13 > 1:48:14You bad cat.

1:48:14 > 1:48:16Quick little rascal, isn't he?

1:48:17 > 1:48:21I may not be home for dinner, dear. I'll phone you later.

1:48:21 > 1:48:22Have a nice time.

1:48:22 > 1:48:26I knew instinctively all the time that nothing was wrong.

1:48:26 > 1:48:30I was so happy to see in the papers that my faith in you was justified.

1:48:30 > 1:48:33Mother said I should hurry over here right away.

1:48:33 > 1:48:37She forgives you for all the anxiety you've caused her.

1:48:37 > 1:48:38Thank you, Gregory.

1:48:38 > 1:48:40Yes, thanks, old man.

1:48:40 > 1:48:42Oh, I believe you two have met.

1:48:42 > 1:48:44Mr Kelso, Mr Benson.

1:48:44 > 1:48:47Mr Kelso is in law enforcement. Mr Benson is a duck hunter.

1:48:47 > 1:48:48Really?

1:48:48 > 1:48:50I hope you have a licence for it.

1:48:50 > 1:48:51So long, now.

1:48:51 > 1:48:53Goodbye. Regards to your mother!

1:48:56 > 1:48:57Well...!

1:49:00 > 1:49:02CLUNK!

1:49:07 > 1:49:09Sorry, Mr Benson.

1:49:09 > 1:49:10Hi, Canoe.

1:49:10 > 1:49:13I er...wondered who that car belonged to.

1:49:13 > 1:49:14Mm-hm.

1:49:14 > 1:49:17Ingrid's new car pool. Great, isn't he?

1:49:17 > 1:49:19Yeah.

1:49:19 > 1:49:23Patti, I... I don't know how to say this, I'm...

1:49:23 > 1:49:25- kind of ashamed. - Canoe!

1:49:25 > 1:49:28Whatever happens, never be afraid to look me straight in the eye.

1:49:28 > 1:49:31Oh, no, that's not it.

1:49:31 > 1:49:33- I got a stiff neck last night. - Oh, Canoe...

1:49:33 > 1:49:36How did you get stuck in that door?

1:49:36 > 1:49:39Well, that's just it. It happened when...

1:49:39 > 1:49:41well, that guy there and...

1:49:41 > 1:49:43well, I was following you.

1:49:43 > 1:49:45Following me?

1:49:45 > 1:49:46Why?

1:49:46 > 1:49:48Well...

1:49:48 > 1:49:51You, and that guy, and... You wouldn't let me in the house.

1:49:51 > 1:49:53What was I supposed to think?

1:49:53 > 1:49:56Canoe, don't tell me you were jealous.

1:49:56 > 1:49:58And you didn't think of your stomach?

1:50:00 > 1:50:01How do you feel now?

1:50:02 > 1:50:04Like, miserable.

1:50:04 > 1:50:06You do? But that's marvellous!

1:50:07 > 1:50:09You're maturing.

1:50:09 > 1:50:10Tell you what,

1:50:10 > 1:50:12let's go into the kitchen

1:50:12 > 1:50:14and make you a big weird sandwich

1:50:14 > 1:50:16and you can tell me all about it.

1:50:18 > 1:50:19OK.

1:50:19 > 1:50:21OK?

1:50:29 > 1:50:33You might as well wait for me. It'll save time.

1:50:33 > 1:50:37I'm going into the house, to MURDER someone!

1:50:41 > 1:50:43Wilbur...

1:50:43 > 1:50:45Don't try to hide!

1:50:45 > 1:50:49Come out and take your medicine like a man.

1:50:49 > 1:50:52WILBUR!

1:50:52 > 1:50:55# Now, our cat's been paid every accolade

1:50:55 > 1:50:58# And he's earned all his acclaim

1:50:59 > 1:51:02# In a blaze of glory

1:51:02 > 1:51:04# He ends our story

1:51:04 > 1:51:07# In the feline hall of fame

1:51:07 > 1:51:11# But the way life goes, in a year, who knows

1:51:11 > 1:51:14# From the family he begat

1:51:15 > 1:51:19# You may wind up with one of maybe the son of...

1:51:19 > 1:51:20# That

1:51:20 > 1:51:22# Darn cat! #
