Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:03,760
- The Marx Brothers.
- They're hip.
2
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:07,260
- Excluding Zeppo and Gummo.
- Of course.
3
00:00:07,390 --> 00:00:10,470
- Lenny Bruce.
- Definitely hip, too hip for his own good.
4
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:14,350
- Sigmund Freud.
- Used to be hip. Not lately, though.
5
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:18,060
- Penis envy. Pay her no mind.
- What the hell are you talking about?
6
00:00:18,190 --> 00:00:20,650
Jewish and hip.
We're coming up with a list.
7
00:00:20,780 --> 00:00:23,490
- It's a short one.
- Not so short as you'd think.
8
00:00:23,610 --> 00:00:25,860
- 30 and counting, OK?
- Whoa!
9
00:00:25,990 --> 00:00:27,660
Right this way.
10
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,370
- Who's up?
- Ballard and Gharty.
11
00:00:33,500 --> 00:00:35,620
In my office, right now.
12
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:41,630
- Oh, get your tongue off the floor, Stu.
- Who the hell is she?
13
00:00:41,750 --> 00:00:45,430
Brigid O'Shaughnessy. She shot
Miles Archer with Thursby's gun.
14
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,850
She shot Miles Archer
so we're sending her over.
15
00:00:49,970 --> 00:00:54,270
- Miles Archer? Whose case is that?
- I'm surrounded by oxen.
16
00:00:58,100 --> 00:01:01,650
Ballard, Gharty,
this is Darlene Everett and her attorney.
17
00:01:01,770 --> 00:01:04,690
- Wife of Mr LP Everett.
- The writer.
18
00:01:04,820 --> 00:01:08,910
The spy thriller guy.
"Death in Kiev", "Mutiny on the Nimitz".
19
00:01:09,030 --> 00:01:11,700
- There's a movie, right?
- Four, actually.
20
00:01:11,830 --> 00:01:14,700
Everything he writes is a movie.
He's a bestseller.
21
00:01:14,830 --> 00:01:17,370
- Remember "The Potemkin Factor"?
- Not off hand.
22
00:01:17,500 --> 00:01:21,040
- Mr Everett is missing.
- Not missing, dead.
23
00:01:21,170 --> 00:01:23,710
- Dead?
- He was murdered.
24
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,720
He's been murdered
and the body is where exactly?
25
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,850
Well, that's what I need you for.
26
00:02:06,850 --> 00:02:09,520
- Woody Allen.
- He's Jewish? Who knew?
27
00:02:09,640 --> 00:02:12,150
Sleep with your mother,
it's a Greek tragedy,
28
00:02:12,270 --> 00:02:14,690
but sleep with your girlfriend's
daughter?
29
00:02:14,820 --> 00:02:17,490
- Sammy Davis Jr.
- No way.
30
00:02:17,610 --> 00:02:19,240
- That doesn't count.
- Why?
31
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,110
He converted so
he's an accessory after the fact.
32
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,950
That's right.
He's black, so he's hip by definition.
33
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,040
So all black people are hip?
34
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,500
- Name one who ain't.
- George Washington Carver.
35
00:02:31,620 --> 00:02:35,210
Please! How many things
can a white man do with a peanut?
36
00:02:35,340 --> 00:02:36,800
Shelled or unshelled?
37
00:02:36,920 --> 00:02:39,970
I got one. Meldrick Lewis.
38
00:02:41,010 --> 00:02:45,050
- He's black.
- But not particularly hip.
39
00:02:45,180 --> 00:02:46,600
What are you saying?
40
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,060
Point taken. I guess
Sammy Davis goes back on the list.
41
00:02:50,180 --> 00:02:52,980
No, hold on.
Let's just stop the game right here.
42
00:02:53,100 --> 00:02:56,770
I could be accused of a lot
but not falling off the cutting edge.
43
00:02:56,900 --> 00:03:00,240
- Terri, am I down or am I down?
- What?
44
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,240
Am I hip? Tell these fools.
45
00:03:04,030 --> 00:03:06,080
Er, you have your moments.
46
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:10,160
- Moments?
- I don't know. Maybe you try too hard.
47
00:03:10,290 --> 00:03:12,160
I'm not playing no more.
48
00:03:13,290 --> 00:03:16,040
LP Everett
has been missing for five days.
49
00:03:16,170 --> 00:03:20,340
He was killed by his literary agent,
Jake Benedek by name.
50
00:03:20,460 --> 00:03:22,930
As police officers, we typically find
51
00:03:23,050 --> 00:03:26,800
foul play to be the least probable
explanation when males disappear.
52
00:03:26,930 --> 00:03:31,680
Excuse me. My husband did not run off
if that's what you're trying to suggest.
53
00:03:31,810 --> 00:03:35,560
- He was killed by his agent.
- You're sure of this?
54
00:03:37,820 --> 00:03:42,030
The last time I spoke with my husband
he was at his office in Canton.
55
00:03:42,150 --> 00:03:43,610
He was killed there.
56
00:03:43,740 --> 00:03:49,160
You're saying that you know
that your husband has been murdered,
57
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,040
where he was killed and who killed him.
58
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:53,750
That's right.
59
00:03:53,870 --> 00:03:55,830
How can you possibly know that?
60
00:04:01,170 --> 00:04:03,880
My husband told me.
61
00:04:05,180 --> 00:04:08,140
Hey, guys.
Ernestine Meade, 88 years.
62
00:04:08,260 --> 00:04:11,100
No overt trauma.
Found in the front room.
63
00:04:11,220 --> 00:04:13,600
- 88 years old?
- No signs of trauma?
64
00:04:13,730 --> 00:04:16,480
Why did you call us out?
This is a natural death.
65
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,900
Definitely not. It's a burglary.
66
00:04:33,870 --> 00:04:36,580
'Given the nature
of this ongoing dispute
67
00:04:36,710 --> 00:04:41,000
'over literary rights and representation,
68
00:04:41,130 --> 00:04:44,670
'it is now my belief
that my agent, Jake Benedek,
69
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,340
'plans to murder me.
70
00:04:47,470 --> 00:04:50,510
'Ln the event that I disappear,
I would suggest
71
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:55,180
'that investigators devote
their attention to Mr Benedek.
72
00:04:55,310 --> 00:04:58,230
'This one should write itself!
73
00:04:58,350 --> 00:04:59,940
'We'll call it...
74
00:05:00,060 --> 00:05:04,400
"'The 20 Percent Solution".'
75
00:05:12,580 --> 00:05:16,330
You know, this might be a publicity stunt,
76
00:05:16,460 --> 00:05:20,380
something to get headlines
and sell more books.
77
00:05:20,500 --> 00:05:23,840
We have real murders to work.
Dump this on Missing Persons.
78
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,840
No, it's too high profile for that.
79
00:05:26,970 --> 00:05:31,090
Once the press gets on it, we need
to say we did everything possible, so...
80
00:05:31,220 --> 00:05:32,680
do everything possible.
81
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,260
Yeah.
82
00:05:40,100 --> 00:05:44,270
Ten to one, this hack is at a Vegas
craps table with a bimbo on each arm.
83
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,070
One thing definitely
does not make any sense,
84
00:05:47,190 --> 00:05:51,110
what in God's name is she doing
with the likes of Everett?
85
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,950
A rumpled, middle-aged
white man with glasses
86
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,660
who spends his life
in front of a typewriter?
87
00:05:56,790 --> 00:06:00,620
- Jeez, Stu, who can resist that?
- Oh, rumpled? Rumpled, huh?
88
00:06:00,750 --> 00:06:03,540
So now you're talking trash
on my dry cleaner?
89
00:06:05,590 --> 00:06:08,760
- So who made the call?
- Anonymous male dialled 911.
90
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,930
- The paramedics got here first.
- Who was here when they pulled up?
91
00:06:13,050 --> 00:06:15,060
- Just her.
- Where was the call from?
92
00:06:15,180 --> 00:06:19,560
Communications says it came from
the phone number listed to this address.
93
00:06:19,690 --> 00:06:23,230
OK. I want to get
the phone receiver dusted, please.
94
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:27,480
- It's a burglary, I'll grant you that.
- Or attempted burglary, anyway.
95
00:06:27,610 --> 00:06:30,530
If I'm half the constabulary giant
I pretend to be...
96
00:06:30,650 --> 00:06:32,110
You're always that.
97
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,490
I conclude that our suspect
entered through the window.
98
00:06:35,620 --> 00:06:37,740
Stacking his booty
by the front door.
99
00:06:37,870 --> 00:06:42,210
Whereupon the lady of the house
awakens and surprises our intruder.
100
00:06:42,330 --> 00:06:44,380
Maybe he hit her with this vase.
101
00:06:44,500 --> 00:06:49,050
And our boy manages enough humanity
to dial the ambulance before departing.
102
00:06:49,170 --> 00:06:53,090
I think he must've panicked. He left
everything he came for right here.
103
00:06:53,220 --> 00:06:56,050
Who can blame him?
He comes for a nice quiet break-in
104
00:06:56,180 --> 00:06:58,310
and he gets Chilled Granny Surprise.
105
00:06:58,430 --> 00:07:00,730
We got ambos, detectives,
a crime scene.
106
00:07:00,850 --> 00:07:02,850
Everybody's undies are in a bunch.
107
00:07:02,980 --> 00:07:04,730
You shoulda stayed in bed.
108
00:07:04,860 --> 00:07:08,110
At 88, what goes bump in the night
is none of your business.
109
00:07:08,230 --> 00:07:10,320
Wait, wait, wait. You're blaming her?
110
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:15,370
She stays under the covers, it's burglary
detectives who get a ruined afternoon.
111
00:07:15,490 --> 00:07:18,200
- You had a few days off coming up?
- Three.
112
00:07:18,330 --> 00:07:22,460
Had me a weekend rental
and our lovely bartendress, Billie Lou.
113
00:07:22,580 --> 00:07:24,880
One bedroom, beachfront condo.
114
00:07:26,380 --> 00:07:29,630
Ernestine, sweetie,
how could you do this to me?
115
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,590
- He said what?
- Mr Everett made a taped declaration.
116
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,970
He suggested that if he disappeared
or was found murdered,
117
00:07:37,100 --> 00:07:38,760
you would be responsible.
118
00:07:38,890 --> 00:07:41,020
He hasn't been heard from in five days.
119
00:07:41,140 --> 00:07:42,850
- You checked his office?
- Yes.
120
00:07:42,980 --> 00:07:46,270
No sign of foul play
and his Jaguar isn't in the garage.
121
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:51,280
His wife tells us that your business
relationship had soured recently.
122
00:07:53,740 --> 00:07:55,820
"Three Days in Mombasa".
123
00:07:55,950 --> 00:07:57,820
Wait, he's in Mombasa?
124
00:07:57,950 --> 00:07:59,950
I don't know where the hell he is,
125
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,450
although I could offer
some good guesses.
126
00:08:02,580 --> 00:08:06,170
That there is the first draft
of his next novel,
127
00:08:06,290 --> 00:08:09,670
mailed to me a week ago with
a note from your missing person.
128
00:08:10,550 --> 00:08:12,010
A note?
129
00:08:12,130 --> 00:08:14,930
He said he was exhausted,
but glad to have finished
130
00:08:15,050 --> 00:08:18,090
and that he was going
to get away for a while.
131
00:08:18,220 --> 00:08:19,890
And you have this note?
132
00:08:20,010 --> 00:08:24,940
No, it was on one of those little
yellow Post-its. I tossed it.
133
00:08:25,060 --> 00:08:28,190
A man decides to go on vacation,
he usually takes his wife
134
00:08:28,310 --> 00:08:30,480
or at least tells her where he's headed.
135
00:08:30,610 --> 00:08:34,400
Unless he's going with a mistress.
136
00:08:34,530 --> 00:08:38,240
- Everett has a mistress?
- Hmm, a French one.
137
00:08:38,370 --> 00:08:40,830
Claudette Pinchot.
138
00:08:40,950 --> 00:08:45,370
He has her in a suite at the Colonnade.
You didn't hear that from me.
139
00:08:45,500 --> 00:08:49,250
All right, but this video tape,
the one that gets sent to Mrs Everett
140
00:08:49,380 --> 00:08:53,550
at the time you get this manuscript,
why all this talk about you killing him?
141
00:08:56,380 --> 00:08:59,140
Did you ever read
a book by LP Everett?
142
00:08:59,260 --> 00:09:00,760
All of them.
143
00:09:00,890 --> 00:09:04,640
Jeez. I'm his agent and I've only
flipped pages in the first two!
144
00:09:04,770 --> 00:09:07,190
"Death in Kiev" was brilliant.
145
00:09:07,310 --> 00:09:08,770
Brilliant, huh?
146
00:09:08,900 --> 00:09:13,730
This is a guy from Baltimore who sells
used appliances for most of his adult life.
147
00:09:13,860 --> 00:09:16,150
Then one day, he writes a novel
148
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:20,030
about spies killing each other
on a nuclear aircraft carrier,
149
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:26,370
and ba-da-boom,
600,000 copies fly off the shelves.
150
00:09:26,500 --> 00:09:31,330
For ten years,
this nebbish from Patapsco Avenue
151
00:09:31,460 --> 00:09:36,260
has been living
in his weird little macho universe,
152
00:09:36,380 --> 00:09:38,340
where everyone kills everyone else
153
00:09:38,470 --> 00:09:42,260
in very clever ways
for very clever reasons.
154
00:09:42,390 --> 00:09:44,260
He imagines this stuff.
155
00:09:44,390 --> 00:09:47,890
Yet Mrs Everett insists
that he was gonna fire you
156
00:09:48,020 --> 00:09:49,770
and was talking to other agents.
157
00:09:49,890 --> 00:09:53,400
And he told me that he was planning
on leaving her, all right?
158
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:54,980
Darlene is...
159
00:09:55,110 --> 00:09:58,110
She's a...
She's a lovely girl,
160
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:02,530
but she doesn't know money
and she doesn't know publishing.
161
00:10:02,660 --> 00:10:04,910
She's an actress, that's what she knows.
162
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:06,490
She's an actress?
163
00:10:06,620 --> 00:10:08,830
Yeah, you didn't recognise her?
164
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,170
He met her on the set of "Kiev".
She played the Russian hooker.
165
00:10:12,290 --> 00:10:16,460
- Who's decapitated in the missile silo?
- Yeah, that's her.
166
00:10:16,590 --> 00:10:21,180
Jeez! I didn't recognise her.
She looks different somehow.
167
00:10:21,300 --> 00:10:22,800
Well, the hair's the same.
168
00:10:22,930 --> 00:10:25,810
Maybe it's the breast reduction
that threw you.
169
00:10:28,770 --> 00:10:30,230
Reduction?
170
00:10:35,980 --> 00:10:40,360
So do we or do we not have a cause
of death on Ernestine Meade?
171
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,400
- Hard to say.
- What does that mean?
172
00:10:42,530 --> 00:10:46,450
- Well, what do you want it to be?
- I have a choice? I'll take natural.
173
00:10:46,570 --> 00:10:49,370
- Slow down, Munch.
- But Billie Lou, the condo...
174
00:10:49,490 --> 00:10:52,540
Is there any indication
that Ernestine was murdered?
175
00:10:52,660 --> 00:10:55,330
There are no contusions, no abrasions.
176
00:10:55,460 --> 00:10:57,750
She died of heart failure,
177
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,460
straight up angina
with an embolism chaser.
178
00:11:00,590 --> 00:11:03,550
- So as far as that goes...
- Gentlemen, I'm out of here.
179
00:11:03,670 --> 00:11:05,880
Munch, stay! So what's the twist?
180
00:11:06,010 --> 00:11:08,050
It's a burglary, right?
181
00:11:08,180 --> 00:11:13,270
She gets out of bed in the early hours,
she finds a burglar ransacking the place.
182
00:11:13,390 --> 00:11:16,230
If that's the theory,
I'd say he scared her to death.
183
00:11:16,350 --> 00:11:20,230
- He scared her to death?
- She died from a criminal terrifying her.
184
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,400
Well, that doesn't make it a murder.
185
00:11:22,530 --> 00:11:24,610
If you strike someone with your fist,
186
00:11:24,740 --> 00:11:28,280
and he falls down and dies
for whatever reason, it's homicide.
187
00:11:28,410 --> 00:11:31,740
It may be involuntary
manslaughter in court.
188
00:11:31,870 --> 00:11:34,700
You said there's no indication
anybody hit her.
189
00:11:34,830 --> 00:11:39,210
True, but who knows what the burglar
did when she confronted him?
190
00:11:39,330 --> 00:11:43,590
I mean, he might have screamed at her.
He might have threatened her.
191
00:11:43,710 --> 00:11:47,260
These things are assaultive.
Do you know what I mean?
192
00:11:47,380 --> 00:11:50,470
So you're saying
that depending on what happened,
193
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,720
this one could go either way?
194
00:11:53,850 --> 00:11:58,520
If you catch the burglar,
I would like to ask him some questions.
195
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,730
Depending on his answers,
I'll give you a ruling then.
196
00:12:01,860 --> 00:12:04,820
You're standing between me
and true happiness.
197
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,780
What's that on your tie there?
Is it pesto sauce?
198
00:12:09,910 --> 00:12:11,530
You wish.
199
00:12:15,950 --> 00:12:19,000
If you see her, give a call.
200
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,460
According to the garage attendant,
Claudette Pinchot's Mercedes
201
00:12:22,590 --> 00:12:24,960
has been gone longer than a week.
202
00:12:25,090 --> 00:12:27,420
Omar here hasn't seen her either,
203
00:12:27,550 --> 00:12:30,890
and the building manager says
she asked to have her mail held.
204
00:12:31,010 --> 00:12:32,720
I think we have our answer.
205
00:12:32,850 --> 00:12:36,220
You know, that little weasel
and his spice run off for a week
206
00:12:36,350 --> 00:12:38,390
and we are here spinning our wheels.
207
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,560
Let's get back to the rotation,
catch a real murder.
208
00:12:41,690 --> 00:12:44,690
- Does the wife know there's a mistress?
- Not from us.
209
00:12:44,820 --> 00:12:48,990
We should give this to Missing Persons,
not that the guy wants to be found.
210
00:12:49,110 --> 00:12:52,070
She might tell the press
we're doing nothing.
211
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,030
- You're saying we tell her?
- It covers our ass.
212
00:12:56,290 --> 00:12:58,830
- Oh, boy.
- What's the matter, Stu?
213
00:12:58,950 --> 00:13:01,580
Well, he's a guy, I'm a guy. It's...
214
00:13:01,710 --> 00:13:05,710
Speaking from a male perspective,
it doesn't seem like a right moment.
215
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,260
- I'll give her the dish.
- How you gonna do it?
216
00:13:08,380 --> 00:13:12,260
Ring the doorbell, tell the silicone queen
I got good news and bad news.
217
00:13:12,390 --> 00:13:14,010
- Good news?
- He ain't dead.
218
00:13:14,140 --> 00:13:16,220
- Bad news?
- He ain't dead.
219
00:13:17,390 --> 00:13:20,060
Once she hears the story,
there's no difference.
220
00:13:20,180 --> 00:13:22,900
Ballard, Gharty.
Find your missing writer?
221
00:13:23,020 --> 00:13:26,520
- Not yet.
- I guess he can really write a mystery.
222
00:13:26,650 --> 00:13:29,440
Oh, you're a laugh riot, Falsone.
223
00:13:30,700 --> 00:13:32,570
What did I do?
224
00:13:32,700 --> 00:13:35,070
I get the feeling Ballard doesn't like me.
225
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,540
- You really don't get it, do you?
- What?
226
00:13:37,660 --> 00:13:40,910
She likes you.
Ballard likes you a lot.
227
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:42,580
- You think so?
- Yes.
228
00:13:44,420 --> 00:13:46,170
Hey, what else she say about me?
229
00:13:46,290 --> 00:13:49,420
'An elderly person
has lost consciousness? '
230
00:13:49,550 --> 00:13:51,920
'An old lady. She's really pale.'
231
00:13:52,050 --> 00:13:54,890
'Do you know
her medical situation? '
232
00:13:55,010 --> 00:13:57,180
- 'No, we just met.'
- 'Who are you, sir? '
233
00:13:57,300 --> 00:14:00,020
'Lt doesn't matter who I am.
Just send an ambo.'
234
00:14:00,140 --> 00:14:02,020
'OK, a medic unit is responding.
235
00:14:02,140 --> 00:14:04,350
'You'll be there
to guide the paramedics? '
236
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,520
- 'No. I gotta go.'
- 'Sir? '
237
00:14:06,650 --> 00:14:09,730
House-breaker with a heart of gold.
238
00:14:09,860 --> 00:14:12,190
Play it again. I could use a good cry.
239
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:16,280
You don't seem surprised that
your husband was having an affair.
240
00:14:17,950 --> 00:14:20,040
It was an open marriage.
241
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,120
Open?
242
00:14:22,250 --> 00:14:25,500
Yes, my husband was
a very sexual being. I understood that.
243
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,550
So then, you also were able
to see other people?
244
00:14:30,670 --> 00:14:33,260
Well, now,
why would I want to do that?
245
00:14:33,380 --> 00:14:36,430
No, LP was good enough for me.
246
00:14:38,350 --> 00:14:41,810
Look, if my husband wanted
to leave town with another woman,
247
00:14:41,930 --> 00:14:44,140
he wouldn't have to hide the fact.
248
00:14:44,270 --> 00:14:46,350
He's been murdered.
249
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,190
Oh, excuse me. Is there a phone?
250
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,110
Yes, right through that door,
in the library.
251
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,740
Mrs Everett,
everything points to the fact
252
00:14:56,860 --> 00:15:01,490
that your husband and his... friend
are out of town together.
253
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:07,330
Right, yet he hasn't used
any of his credit cards,
254
00:15:07,460 --> 00:15:09,920
or made any airline reservations.
255
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:11,550
That's unusual, true.
256
00:15:11,670 --> 00:15:15,840
Jake Benedek was taking 20 percent
of everything my husband made.
257
00:15:15,970 --> 00:15:18,640
Do you know
what a literary agent usually takes?
258
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,680
10, maybe 15 percent.
259
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,770
I am telling you,
Jake knew that LP wanted out.
260
00:15:23,890 --> 00:15:27,390
- Mrs Everett...
- That was a State Trooper at BWI.
261
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,980
Your husband's Jaguar
has been located in long-term parking.
262
00:15:34,740 --> 00:15:36,820
He's dead. I know.
263
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,780
We'll get back to you, OK?
264
00:15:41,910 --> 00:15:44,950
We'll see ourselves out.
265
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,080
Um, by the way,
266
00:15:48,210 --> 00:15:51,090
I thought you were great
in "A Death in Kiev".
267
00:15:51,210 --> 00:15:53,840
Er, I mean, until you lost your head.
268
00:15:54,710 --> 00:15:58,380
You think? Gee, I don't know.
My character wasn't very developed.
269
00:15:58,510 --> 00:15:59,970
Oh, no.
270
00:16:00,090 --> 00:16:02,510
I thought you were
very developed in that.
271
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,430
Thank you.
272
00:16:07,890 --> 00:16:11,940
Found it locked,
theft device activated.
273
00:16:12,060 --> 00:16:15,900
No sign of any stripped ignition
or any other damage.
274
00:16:16,030 --> 00:16:19,450
- Let me guess: Parked for a week.
- Yup.
275
00:16:19,570 --> 00:16:22,410
Want to tow it back to be
processed by the crime lab?
276
00:16:22,530 --> 00:16:24,240
What for? This ain't a crime.
277
00:16:24,370 --> 00:16:28,370
Just leave it. He and
his French cutie are gonna need it
278
00:16:28,500 --> 00:16:31,250
when they fly back from wherever.
279
00:16:31,380 --> 00:16:32,880
Come on.
280
00:16:33,540 --> 00:16:37,920
It doesn't sound like there was any intent
to assault or scare Ernestine to me.
281
00:16:38,050 --> 00:16:40,680
- She just keeled over.
- What about the vase?
282
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:45,220
- He might have threatened her with it.
- Maybe it fell when she collapsed.
283
00:16:45,350 --> 00:16:48,680
We're only gonna find that out
when we find the burglar.
284
00:16:48,810 --> 00:16:50,940
More power to you. You find him.
285
00:16:51,060 --> 00:16:53,610
Are you bailing on me?
286
00:16:53,730 --> 00:16:55,860
This isn't much of a murder,
287
00:16:55,980 --> 00:16:59,240
and buxom barmaids have been
my obsession since my teens.
288
00:17:00,610 --> 00:17:06,490
I guess I'm really not used to having
a partner who's so quick to dump cases.
289
00:17:06,620 --> 00:17:10,960
Frank would have investigated
all the existential implications
290
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,460
in your dogged pursuit of justice.
Me, I'll be back Tuesday.
291
00:17:14,590 --> 00:17:16,300
- Hey, big dog.
- Hey.
292
00:17:16,420 --> 00:17:17,880
Munch.
293
00:17:19,010 --> 00:17:22,470
Gee, this is not a murder.
294
00:17:22,590 --> 00:17:25,390
Our scribe is on the wing
with his girlfriend.
295
00:17:25,510 --> 00:17:28,810
Come in my office.
296
00:17:33,350 --> 00:17:35,150
Oh, lady.
297
00:17:35,270 --> 00:17:37,270
Tell me you're not who I think you are.
298
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,940
Vous tes agents de police?
Bonsoir, je m'appelle Claudette.
299
00:17:42,740 --> 00:17:44,360
Uh-oh.
300
00:17:49,700 --> 00:17:53,370
Everett's mistress has been
at Deep Creek Lake for eight days,
301
00:17:53,500 --> 00:17:55,250
waiting for Everett to arrive.
302
00:17:55,380 --> 00:17:57,590
- You believe her?
- It's credible.
303
00:17:57,710 --> 00:18:00,260
He says he has work to do,
she should go on ahead.
304
00:18:00,380 --> 00:18:02,510
She does and he never shows.
305
00:18:02,630 --> 00:18:05,340
She gets back to Baltimore,
he's not to be found.
306
00:18:05,470 --> 00:18:09,470
Like any responsible mistress,
she reports him "disparu" to the police.
307
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:13,980
All right, we now have a famous writer
genuinely missing for nine days.
308
00:18:14,100 --> 00:18:17,690
No crime scene,
no physical evidence, no nothing.
309
00:18:17,810 --> 00:18:20,690
You two don't exactly
have this case surrounded.
310
00:18:20,820 --> 00:18:25,700
Stivers, Falsone,
Sheppard, Giardello!
311
00:18:25,820 --> 00:18:29,950
We just backed into a red ball.
Find me a living writer or a dead one.
312
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:31,950
I don't care which.
313
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:37,960
Potential suspects include Everett's
agent, his wife, a mistress or two.
314
00:18:38,090 --> 00:18:40,590
Falsone, get a consent search
for both residences.
315
00:18:40,710 --> 00:18:44,050
- Wife first, mistress second.
- Two searches coming up.
316
00:18:44,170 --> 00:18:47,680
Recheck the airlines and ring
State Department and Customs.
317
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:52,270
You want to be sure our writer hasn't
used a passport to leave the country?
318
00:18:52,390 --> 00:18:56,230
Rene, ring the New York publisher,
make sure everything's in order.
319
00:18:56,350 --> 00:19:00,480
And Terri, get Everett's car
processed for evidence.
320
00:19:00,610 --> 00:19:02,480
- Where's it at?
- BWI.
321
00:19:02,610 --> 00:19:05,570
State Police found it in long-term.
We let it sit.
322
00:19:06,860 --> 00:19:09,870
Everett's office is the last place
he was seen alive.
323
00:19:09,990 --> 00:19:11,620
We checked it twice already.
324
00:19:11,740 --> 00:19:14,250
Now we have a writer
that's really missing,
325
00:19:14,370 --> 00:19:16,330
so let's try it with fresh eyes.
326
00:19:24,460 --> 00:19:28,510
You can't judge an apple
by looking at a tree
327
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:32,390
You can't judge honey
by looking at the bee
328
00:19:32,510 --> 00:19:36,810
You can't judge a daughter
by looking at the mother
329
00:19:36,940 --> 00:19:41,610
You can't judge a book
by looking at the cover
330
00:19:41,730 --> 00:19:43,440
Can't you see?
331
00:19:43,570 --> 00:19:47,360
Oh, you misjudged me
332
00:19:49,030 --> 00:19:52,950
I look like a farmer but I'm a lover
333
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,460
You can't judge a book
by looking at the cover
334
00:20:10,050 --> 00:20:11,510
Come on in closer, baby
335
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,140
Never mind a body.
We don't have a crime scene.
336
00:20:14,260 --> 00:20:19,850
If I was writing "The 20 Percent
Solution", what would I put in this room?
337
00:20:19,980 --> 00:20:22,440
There is nothing
out of the ordinary here.
338
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:26,150
There is no blood, no bullet holes,
no sign of a struggle.
339
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,280
- No chair.
- What?
340
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:33,950
We're looking for what shouldn't be here
and not seeing what should be and ain't.
341
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,700
I'll be damned. There's no chair.
342
00:20:37,830 --> 00:20:40,580
How's he gonna sit here and work
without a chair?
343
00:20:40,710 --> 00:20:42,380
Ah!
344
00:20:42,500 --> 00:20:45,880
Missing writer, missing writer's chair.
345
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,510
Why the hell would
a leather chair be missing?
346
00:20:48,630 --> 00:20:51,890
If there's blood on it, you clean it.
Leather cleans up easy.
347
00:20:54,220 --> 00:20:55,680
A bullet hole.
348
00:20:55,810 --> 00:20:57,270
A bullet hole. Lf...
349
00:20:58,230 --> 00:21:01,390
If you put a couple of slugs
in that chair...
350
00:21:03,230 --> 00:21:05,440
...then there's no repairing it.
351
00:21:05,570 --> 00:21:07,230
Bingo.
352
00:21:09,150 --> 00:21:13,490
Semi-auto. He stood right here
and he walked the shots up.
353
00:21:13,620 --> 00:21:15,580
Boom, boom, boom, boom.
354
00:21:17,620 --> 00:21:21,330
This is the scene.
They killed him here at his own desk.
355
00:21:21,460 --> 00:21:23,880
Yeah, but who's they?
356
00:21:46,780 --> 00:21:50,280
Whoever shot Everett went
to a lot of trouble to try and hide it.
357
00:21:50,410 --> 00:21:53,160
We found a hole in the wall
where a bullet lodged.
358
00:21:53,290 --> 00:21:56,790
The shooter used the sword there
to cover the damage.
359
00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:00,000
Two holes in the desk
were filled.
360
00:22:00,130 --> 00:22:03,000
He couldn't fix the leather chair
so that's gone.
361
00:22:03,130 --> 00:22:05,670
Any... er... trace of blood?
362
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:07,760
No.
363
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:11,180
But we checked the cleaning closet
and guess what?
364
00:22:11,300 --> 00:22:15,230
The killer mopped up the blood,
then took the mop out with the body.
365
00:22:15,350 --> 00:22:19,020
Check with the building's management,
check on all employees.
366
00:22:19,150 --> 00:22:22,400
Also, find out if they hired
any new cleaning crews.
367
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,320
And pick up Jake Benedek,
368
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,530
Everett's wife, Everett's mistress,
369
00:22:26,650 --> 00:22:28,740
anyone you think might be a suspect.
370
00:22:28,860 --> 00:22:30,320
It's two in the morning.
371
00:22:30,450 --> 00:22:33,080
I don't give a damn
if it's two in the morning!
372
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,120
The victim's been dead over a week
373
00:22:35,250 --> 00:22:37,790
while some son of a bitch
plays us for a fool.
374
00:22:37,910 --> 00:22:41,500
Now, I'm not a fool.
Are you a fool, Detective?
375
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:44,840
Can you say rhetorical?
376
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:48,590
Everett's editor in New York
received a draft manuscript,
377
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,470
Baltimore postmark, a week ago.
378
00:22:50,590 --> 00:22:52,470
That matches what Benedek says.
379
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:56,140
The editor says Everett
expressed unhappiness with Benedek,
380
00:22:56,270 --> 00:22:59,190
told the publishing house
not to deal with him.
381
00:22:59,310 --> 00:23:01,190
That matches the wife's story.
382
00:23:01,310 --> 00:23:06,440
The editor mentioned some ex-CIA
mercenary type, Grenville Rawlins.
383
00:23:06,570 --> 00:23:08,650
- Ex-CIA?
- Supposedly the real deal.
384
00:23:08,780 --> 00:23:11,570
El Salvador, Beirut, Angola.
385
00:23:11,700 --> 00:23:15,490
Rawlins complained that he gave Everett
an unpublished manuscript,
386
00:23:15,620 --> 00:23:17,870
only to have it
show up in Everett's books.
387
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,160
- He threatened to sue?
- More than that.
388
00:23:20,290 --> 00:23:23,460
Says he used phrases like "terminate"
and "extreme prejudice".
389
00:23:23,590 --> 00:23:26,500
- Where does this Everett live?
- Essex.
390
00:23:26,630 --> 00:23:29,260
I'll take the ride.
You got an address?
391
00:23:29,380 --> 00:23:31,930
She was upset
about being bothered so late,
392
00:23:32,050 --> 00:23:34,430
but now we're getting along just great.
393
00:23:34,550 --> 00:23:36,810
You're very short, no?
394
00:23:36,930 --> 00:23:39,730
Er, aprs vous, mademoiselle.
395
00:23:46,820 --> 00:23:50,990
Er, Mrs Everett meet Miss Pinchot.
396
00:23:51,110 --> 00:23:53,160
Miss Pinchot, Mrs Everett.
397
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,450
Oh, there's the little tramp.
398
00:23:55,580 --> 00:23:57,490
Tu es cochonne.
399
00:23:57,620 --> 00:23:59,660
You flat-chested little trollop.
400
00:23:59,790 --> 00:24:01,080
Salope!
401
00:24:01,210 --> 00:24:04,750
Tu parles, saloperie!
Je vais te...
402
00:24:05,340 --> 00:24:08,000
- Ladies, ladies, ladies.
- Connard!
403
00:24:08,130 --> 00:24:12,130
Lighten up, will you?
404
00:24:12,260 --> 00:24:14,470
Ow? So much for the open marriage.
405
00:24:14,590 --> 00:24:16,220
My God.
406
00:24:17,180 --> 00:24:21,140
Is there anyone on this case
who doesn't have a motive?
407
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,690
Mr Benedek.
408
00:24:28,900 --> 00:24:33,610
You ever hear of an ex-CIA
operative named Grenville Rawlins?
409
00:24:34,610 --> 00:24:39,410
Yeah, he used to pal around with LP.
They had a falling out.
410
00:24:39,540 --> 00:24:43,040
He claims his experiences
were used by Everett in his books.
411
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,630
I said they had a falling out.
412
00:24:45,750 --> 00:24:48,710
Have you had any contact with Rawlins?
413
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,840
I haven't seen him
in a couple of years.
414
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:56,390
Once he talked about suing my client,
I didn't want anything to do with him.
415
00:24:56,510 --> 00:25:01,930
- Was Rawlins violent?
- You mean, do I think he'd kill Everett?
416
00:25:02,060 --> 00:25:04,730
Would he?
417
00:25:04,850 --> 00:25:10,820
With real spies, I figure... they kill you
and they never talk about it.
418
00:25:11,650 --> 00:25:14,320
But after hearing Rawlins
tell his bar stories,
419
00:25:14,450 --> 00:25:19,950
I would have to say he spent 20 years
at Langley stapling office reports.
420
00:25:21,580 --> 00:25:23,620
He didn't scare anyone.
421
00:25:35,630 --> 00:25:37,510
You move, you die.
422
00:25:40,430 --> 00:25:42,310
Have a seat for me right here, sir.
423
00:25:45,100 --> 00:25:48,020
Hey, kids, that there is Mr Johnson,
424
00:25:48,150 --> 00:25:51,900
maintenance supervisor at the building
where Everett's office was.
425
00:25:52,020 --> 00:25:56,950
He says the maintenance man assigned
to the floor where Everett was killed,
426
00:25:57,070 --> 00:25:58,740
he quit four days ago.
427
00:25:58,870 --> 00:26:00,620
Can we ID this cleaning man?
428
00:26:00,740 --> 00:26:03,870
He used the name of Norman Stokes
on his employment forms.
429
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,120
I ran that through the computer
and there's nothing.
430
00:26:07,250 --> 00:26:09,830
Fake name. Sounds like our shooter.
431
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:11,420
The description is...
432
00:26:11,540 --> 00:26:16,630
...white male, shock of snow white hair,
medium build, 45-50 years of age.
433
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,510
Call in a sketch artist,
see how good his memory is.
434
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:23,180
I'm gonna call in a sketch artist
and see how good his memory is.
435
00:26:23,310 --> 00:26:24,770
Good idea.
436
00:26:25,930 --> 00:26:28,520
Oh, my knees are killing me.
437
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,810
Try doing six weeks
in a North Vietnamese tiger cage.
438
00:26:31,940 --> 00:26:34,360
It'd redefine your entire concept of pain.
439
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,530
I'm with the Baltimore Police.
Call the agent in charge.
440
00:26:37,650 --> 00:26:41,120
I remember there used to be
a Special Agent Giardello,
441
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:45,240
worked counterintelligence
out of Washington.
442
00:26:45,370 --> 00:26:47,960
Did some of the undercover
for the Ames case.
443
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:52,130
- You got me.
- That was you? Hell of a case.
444
00:26:52,250 --> 00:26:55,380
I got to...
I got to stretch my legs out here.
445
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,300
Why didn't you say
you were a counter spy?
446
00:27:02,050 --> 00:27:03,890
You here on company business?
447
00:27:04,010 --> 00:27:07,520
I'm now the office's liaison
to the Baltimore City Police.
448
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,770
- I'm working on a murder investigation.
- Who got killed?
449
00:27:10,900 --> 00:27:14,690
Maybe no one, maybe LP Everett.
450
00:27:14,820 --> 00:27:16,730
Let's hope that it's not no one.
451
00:27:18,740 --> 00:27:20,820
You don't seem real broken up about it.
452
00:27:20,950 --> 00:27:25,370
I gave Everett a manuscript
that John le Carr would have saluted.
453
00:27:25,490 --> 00:27:29,250
Everett steals it,
turns it into literary tripe.
454
00:27:29,370 --> 00:27:32,630
He's worse than a thief. He's a hack.
455
00:27:32,750 --> 00:27:36,500
Would you mind taking a ride with me,
help us clear some things up?
456
00:27:36,630 --> 00:27:40,760
No problem. I'm always
at the service of this government.
457
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:45,180
- Something we don't quite understand.
- And what would that be?
458
00:27:45,300 --> 00:27:49,350
The manuscript you showed me
in your office was marked "first draft".
459
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:53,020
- So?
- So this is a copy of the same work...
460
00:27:54,900 --> 00:27:57,270
...from Everett's
New York publishing house.
461
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:01,320
Yeah, and this one
is marked "final draft".
462
00:28:01,450 --> 00:28:03,740
If you're buddy-buddy with your client,
463
00:28:03,860 --> 00:28:06,950
why don't you have
an up-to-date copy of his latest work?
464
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:08,700
Maybe he made a mistake.
465
00:28:08,830 --> 00:28:12,580
So, what you're saying is
that you didn't you kill him,
466
00:28:12,710 --> 00:28:14,540
but if you had killed...
467
00:28:14,670 --> 00:28:17,920
excuse me, terminated him,
you're such a professional...
468
00:28:18,050 --> 00:28:21,920
If it was my work, you wouldn't find
enough of the body to fill a spoon.
469
00:28:23,010 --> 00:28:26,720
Mr Rawlins, I'd like you
to meet Lieutenant Al Giardello.
470
00:28:26,850 --> 00:28:28,640
Pleasure.
471
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:35,150
Excuse me.
472
00:28:46,660 --> 00:28:50,950
So, how's he feeling today?
Has detention made him more talkative?
473
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:55,290
He claims to have been tortured
by the best of sadists.
474
00:28:55,420 --> 00:28:57,500
He says we don't even make
the top 100.
475
00:29:00,420 --> 00:29:03,170
Mr Rawlins...
476
00:29:03,300 --> 00:29:06,760
My office intends to prosecute you
for the murder of LP Everett
477
00:29:06,890 --> 00:29:12,930
and I have to tell you, the disappearance
of a best-selling author attracts publicity.
478
00:29:13,060 --> 00:29:15,730
I'm gonna be extremely aggressive
on this case.
479
00:29:15,850 --> 00:29:17,610
Good for you.
480
00:29:17,730 --> 00:29:22,030
You had a motive for killing Everett,
out of revenge for an act of plagiarism.
481
00:29:22,150 --> 00:29:25,150
You gained employment
under a false name
482
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:27,780
with the cleaning crew
in Everett's office.
483
00:29:27,910 --> 00:29:32,450
And in a manner that would do
your former colleagues proud,
484
00:29:32,580 --> 00:29:35,000
you disposed of the victim completely.
485
00:29:36,540 --> 00:29:38,290
This is a copy
486
00:29:38,420 --> 00:29:43,210
of an invoice for the maintenance
company for which you worked.
487
00:29:43,340 --> 00:29:46,300
It shows the delivery
of eight 55-gallon barrels
488
00:29:46,430 --> 00:29:49,140
of used chemical solvents
to Atco Recovery,
489
00:29:49,260 --> 00:29:51,720
a waste disposal firm in Curtis Bay.
490
00:29:51,850 --> 00:29:57,650
According to Atco, seven of the barrels
weighed between 80 and 120 pounds.
491
00:29:57,770 --> 00:30:00,730
The eighth, strangely enough,
492
00:30:00,860 --> 00:30:02,650
weighed nearly 220.
493
00:30:02,780 --> 00:30:06,650
Figure 150 for Everett himself.
494
00:30:06,780 --> 00:30:09,950
Another 70 or 80
for some assorted items.
495
00:30:10,070 --> 00:30:13,040
Like, say, pieces of a leather chair,
496
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,750
a mop, a pail.
497
00:30:15,870 --> 00:30:20,040
Maybe even a murder weapon.
So we're right up there at 220.
498
00:30:20,170 --> 00:30:24,170
For the sake of my own curiosity,
499
00:30:24,300 --> 00:30:26,420
what happened to the barrels?
500
00:30:28,380 --> 00:30:30,760
You know what happened.
501
00:30:30,890 --> 00:30:35,890
They were neutralised in an acid tank.
They don't exist any more.
502
00:30:36,020 --> 00:30:38,690
Well, no body, no murder.
That's what I figure.
503
00:30:38,810 --> 00:30:41,310
I'll be home after a preliminary hearing.
504
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,190
Listen, you son of a bitch,
with or without a body,
505
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,570
I will find a way to prove
and prosecute this murder.
506
00:30:47,690 --> 00:30:50,820
Your only chance to limit exposure
is to give up Benedek.
507
00:30:50,950 --> 00:30:54,700
Benedek? Now, that's a familiar name,
but I'm not sure.
508
00:30:54,830 --> 00:30:59,000
We subpoenaed bank statements
for Benedek's accounts.
509
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,330
They show cash withdrawals
totalling $80,000
510
00:31:02,460 --> 00:31:05,420
in the two months
prior to Everett's disappearance.
511
00:31:05,550 --> 00:31:08,970
Your statements show cash deposits
in $9,000 increments,
512
00:31:09,090 --> 00:31:11,800
in order to avoid
IRS reporting guidelines,
513
00:31:11,930 --> 00:31:13,430
of about the same amount.
514
00:31:13,550 --> 00:31:16,850
However did you get
so much cash, Mr Rawlins?
515
00:31:16,970 --> 00:31:19,730
Generous relatives, bingo winnings.
516
00:31:19,850 --> 00:31:21,980
I sold a good-sized stamp collection.
517
00:31:23,900 --> 00:31:26,980
We know
Benedek's behind this, all right?
518
00:31:27,110 --> 00:31:30,070
He was gonna lose
Everett's book to another agent.
519
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:35,280
He knew enough about the plagiarism
to get you to do his dirty work.
520
00:31:35,410 --> 00:31:37,240
You give us Benedek,
521
00:31:37,370 --> 00:31:39,540
and I can offer second degree,
522
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:42,540
and 30 in.
523
00:31:42,670 --> 00:31:47,590
And in a high profile killing like this,
you can't expect any better.
524
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:55,550
I used to be in a very competitive
business. Did I mention that?
525
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:59,470
Sometimes your friends turned out
to be your enemies.
526
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,140
Sometimes they stayed your friends.
527
00:32:02,270 --> 00:32:05,690
But the worst thing,
the most contemptible thing,
528
00:32:05,810 --> 00:32:08,690
was when an enemy
pretended to be a friend.
529
00:32:08,820 --> 00:32:13,200
Tried to turn you, tried to get you
to betray your own people,
530
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:15,820
get you to betray your own country.
531
00:32:15,950 --> 00:32:18,080
And they would try.
Yes, they would.
532
00:32:19,910 --> 00:32:22,750
If a man can't stand
by the people he sides with,
533
00:32:22,870 --> 00:32:24,880
where the hell can he expect to stand?
534
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:29,920
LP Everett never understood
that part of it.
535
00:32:30,050 --> 00:32:32,050
Now, you say he's dead.
536
00:32:32,170 --> 00:32:33,800
Maybe so.
537
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,300
I don't know anything about it.
538
00:32:55,430 --> 00:32:57,600
Oh, how was your weekend?
539
00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:59,270
Homeric. How was yours?
540
00:32:59,390 --> 00:33:04,860
Mine? I don't know. Conscientious,
morally and ethically responsible.
541
00:33:04,980 --> 00:33:09,030
- You caught the burglar?
- After much hard effort, no.
542
00:33:09,150 --> 00:33:12,280
You sat here for two days
reading the sports section.
543
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,570
Well, that is a damnable lie.
544
00:33:15,700 --> 00:33:19,330
Before you got shot,
you never read the sports section.
545
00:33:19,450 --> 00:33:23,080
- You mostly read the news columns.
- That's true, very true.
546
00:33:23,210 --> 00:33:25,750
- So out with it.
- Out with what?
547
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:29,960
Whatever half-baked,
on-the-mountain-top aphorism leads you
548
00:33:30,090 --> 00:33:33,720
to contemplate the fine print
of an NFL line score.
549
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:38,680
Well, you see the Buddha
taught impermanence.
550
00:33:38,810 --> 00:33:41,640
All that exists is the present moment.
551
00:33:41,770 --> 00:33:43,690
And what is athletic endeavour,
552
00:33:43,810 --> 00:33:49,860
save for a series of perfectly timed
moments executed for their own behalf?
553
00:33:49,980 --> 00:33:52,030
Huh?
554
00:33:52,150 --> 00:33:53,610
See, it's there...
555
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:56,820
...and it's gone.
556
00:33:56,950 --> 00:33:59,620
Do you believe half
what comes out of your mouth?
557
00:33:59,740 --> 00:34:04,710
Look, the line gives the Ravens
next week and seven points.
558
00:34:04,830 --> 00:34:06,540
That's easy money in my book.
559
00:34:06,670 --> 00:34:08,960
Keep the moment pure, weed-hopper.
560
00:34:09,090 --> 00:34:11,800
Buddha wouldn't take points
on Jacksonville.
561
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:13,380
You're Bayliss, right?
562
00:34:13,510 --> 00:34:17,720
Questions like that can get you into
a half-hour metaphysical discussion.
563
00:34:17,850 --> 00:34:21,600
Baumgold. I working
felony follow-up in Northeastern.
564
00:34:21,720 --> 00:34:25,190
- Oh, right, yeah.
- I got something for you.
565
00:34:25,310 --> 00:34:28,810
You handled an attempted burglary
up in Lauraville on Friday?
566
00:34:28,940 --> 00:34:31,730
- An old lady got killed.
- What about it?
567
00:34:31,860 --> 00:34:36,160
We had a print hit
on an apartment burglary last night.
568
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:37,990
Once we jacked the mope up,
569
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:41,790
he goes for 32 house break-ins,
including the one with the old lady.
570
00:34:41,910 --> 00:34:43,540
He put himself in for that?
571
00:34:43,660 --> 00:34:47,750
- He asked if the woman's OK.
- Did you tell him that it was a murder?
572
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:51,880
I didn't tell him nothing. He's hoping
Grandma's alive and kicking.
573
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,720
Let's call it homicide.
I could use the clearance.
574
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:59,430
- Now you want it to be murder.
- He's in our lock-up. Wanna talk to him?
575
00:35:00,010 --> 00:35:02,600
So you're copping to 32 break-ins?
576
00:35:02,720 --> 00:35:06,560
Why not? They offered me seven years
no matter how many cases I cop to.
577
00:35:06,690 --> 00:35:08,310
I look at it like this,
578
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,480
you get to clear lots of cases,
and it don't cost me a thing.
579
00:35:11,610 --> 00:35:14,990
- That's how it works.
- You're burglary detectives?
580
00:35:15,110 --> 00:35:18,490
- You work with that guy I talked to?
- Yeah, we do.
581
00:35:18,610 --> 00:35:22,450
I was asking him about a job I did
up off of Harford Road somewhere.
582
00:35:22,580 --> 00:35:25,500
Hamilton Avenue, I think.
583
00:35:25,620 --> 00:35:27,710
This lady up there passed out, man.
584
00:35:27,830 --> 00:35:30,830
Scared me to death.
I just want to know is she OK?
585
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:32,960
- She scared you to death, huh?
- Yeah.
586
00:35:33,090 --> 00:35:35,380
I'm creeping around, quiet as can be.
587
00:35:35,510 --> 00:35:38,510
All of a sudden she's standing there
in her nightgown and rollers
588
00:35:38,630 --> 00:35:41,350
and then she just stroked out, man,
right there.
589
00:35:41,470 --> 00:35:44,770
- Yeah, what did you do then?
- I dialled 911.
590
00:35:44,890 --> 00:35:48,350
- Couldn't wait around, though?
- What was I gonna tell 'em?
591
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:52,980
I tried to make her comfortable.
Took the vase, put water on her face.
592
00:35:53,110 --> 00:35:55,980
She seemed
to be breathing and all when I left.
593
00:35:57,490 --> 00:36:00,410
It's a terrible thing
when you're all alone and old.
594
00:36:00,530 --> 00:36:02,700
Something happens,
who can you rely on?
595
00:36:02,830 --> 00:36:07,370
- Something like a burglary?
- I know. I'm a wrongdoing guy.
596
00:36:07,500 --> 00:36:09,460
But even I draw the line, man.
597
00:36:09,580 --> 00:36:12,920
I'll make a silverware set
disappear in a heartbeat.
598
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,090
But people is people, right?
599
00:36:15,210 --> 00:36:19,930
You know what I'm saying?
People is all that matter in this world.
600
00:36:20,050 --> 00:36:21,590
That old lady?
601
00:36:21,720 --> 00:36:24,010
Is she OK? Is she gonna be all right?
602
00:36:28,270 --> 00:36:29,730
She's fine.
603
00:36:32,730 --> 00:36:34,480
Oh, man, I'm glad to hear that.
604
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:42,740
Not a murder.
605
00:36:43,990 --> 00:36:47,490
Nope, it was real natural.
606
00:36:47,620 --> 00:36:49,660
Pick a jury and see what happens.
607
00:36:49,790 --> 00:36:53,750
That doesn't sound like you, Ed.
You're usually the voice of caution.
608
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:57,460
Yeah, what can I tell you?
That nut, Rawlins, he pisses me off.
609
00:36:57,590 --> 00:37:00,220
Without a body,
we are at a real disadvantage.
610
00:37:00,340 --> 00:37:03,550
We can't say with certainty
that a crime occurred.
611
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:07,430
Maybe we should wait,
see what evidence comes in.
612
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,140
You always say
that you only can try a case once.
613
00:37:10,270 --> 00:37:14,190
- We're not gonna find a body, Al.
- But you think we could win?
614
00:37:14,310 --> 00:37:17,610
We got a circumstantial web
connecting Benedek to Rawlins
615
00:37:17,730 --> 00:37:21,490
and Rawlins
to the disappearance of LP Everett.
616
00:37:21,610 --> 00:37:24,910
- A very thin circumstantial web.
- Yeah, but we can win?
617
00:37:25,030 --> 00:37:27,450
Hell, no, we can't win.
618
00:37:27,580 --> 00:37:30,910
But you all do your job, I'll do mine.
619
00:37:38,250 --> 00:37:40,130
You don't have to be best friends,
620
00:37:40,260 --> 00:37:43,760
but we cannot go into court
with you at each other's throats.
621
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:47,350
It would be too easy
for the defence to suggest,
622
00:37:47,470 --> 00:37:52,230
for example, that Claudette killed
Mr Everett for not leaving his wife.
623
00:37:52,350 --> 00:37:55,480
Or that Darlene killed her husband
for sleeping around.
624
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:59,320
If you both loved him,
then do what's necessary
625
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:02,900
to make sure
that his killers are punished.
626
00:38:03,030 --> 00:38:06,320
- So we need to know...
- Did you love him?
627
00:38:14,500 --> 00:38:15,960
OK.
628
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:20,340
Whoa. One last thing
I need to know. Forgive me, ladies.
629
00:38:20,460 --> 00:38:24,170
You're both very, very attractive.
630
00:38:24,300 --> 00:38:26,470
I mean, you're both knockouts.
631
00:38:26,590 --> 00:38:29,430
Until he got killed, anyway,
LP Everett, he was...
632
00:38:29,550 --> 00:38:32,270
he was odds on favourite
for luckiest man in Baltimore.
633
00:38:32,390 --> 00:38:35,060
- If you catch my drift.
- For God's sakes.
634
00:38:35,190 --> 00:38:38,440
What I'm trying to say is you're...
635
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:42,280
See, I've been a cop for some time
and a man for longer and...
636
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:48,660
To me, the way
the world usually works is,
637
00:38:48,780 --> 00:38:52,370
twos end up with twos
and fours with fours and tens with tens.
638
00:38:52,490 --> 00:38:56,750
I'm sorry. Am I missing something here?
What is he babbling about?
639
00:38:56,870 --> 00:39:00,630
Well, see, you're... you're tens.
640
00:39:00,750 --> 00:39:02,710
And Everett...
641
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,010
I mean, you know...
642
00:39:05,130 --> 00:39:08,090
I mean, he was probably
a great guy and all, but...
643
00:39:08,220 --> 00:39:09,970
You see my point, right?
644
00:39:10,100 --> 00:39:12,350
- Non.
- No.
645
00:39:12,470 --> 00:39:14,220
Excuse me, please.
646
00:39:17,850 --> 00:39:19,310
Thank you.
647
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:22,270
Well, never mind.
648
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:24,900
That's my last witness.
649
00:39:25,990 --> 00:39:27,740
The State rests, Your Honour.
650
00:39:27,860 --> 00:39:29,740
Very well.
651
00:39:29,870 --> 00:39:31,870
- Mr Russom?
- Your Honour...
652
00:39:31,990 --> 00:39:38,580
The Defence chooses
to present no evidence
653
00:39:38,710 --> 00:39:41,330
and asks to proceed
with closing arguments.
654
00:39:41,460 --> 00:39:43,000
- Very well.
- Thank you.
655
00:39:47,010 --> 00:39:48,880
Ladies and gentlemen...
656
00:39:51,140 --> 00:39:53,510
...there has been no murder.
657
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:56,730
There has been no crime at all.
658
00:39:58,310 --> 00:40:03,270
And, in precisely ten seconds,
659
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:08,570
the noted Baltimore writer LP Everett
will walk through those courtroom doors
660
00:40:08,700 --> 00:40:10,570
and wave to us.
661
00:40:21,250 --> 00:40:26,090
Well... I guess I'm wrong.
662
00:40:26,210 --> 00:40:29,300
But the point, ladies and gentlemen,
663
00:40:29,420 --> 00:40:33,600
the point is that we all turned to look
664
00:40:33,720 --> 00:40:36,260
to see if Everett would show up.
665
00:40:37,470 --> 00:40:41,810
And that, you see,
is reasonable doubt.
666
00:40:44,190 --> 00:40:47,480
Which is why
you have absolutely no choice...
667
00:40:49,860 --> 00:40:51,530
...but to acquit.
668
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:04,460
- I didn't know you smoked.
- This is my first.
669
00:41:15,430 --> 00:41:16,890
That's a good dog, huh?
670
00:41:18,430 --> 00:41:22,480
- Yeah, as dogs go. Thanks.
- Yeah, don't mention it.
671
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:27,900
People like to say I'm cheap,
but I pick up a cheque now and again.
672
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:32,320
What are you doing Saturday?
673
00:41:32,450 --> 00:41:35,200
- Why are you asking?
- I thought we might go out.
674
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:37,080
Go out?
675
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:39,660
Yeah, still my treat.
676
00:41:39,790 --> 00:41:41,580
Like dinner and dancing?
677
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:44,500
How about bowling?
678
00:41:46,130 --> 00:41:48,250
- Bowling?
- Duckpin.
679
00:41:48,380 --> 00:41:51,550
- Duckpin bowling?
- It's big in Baltimore, very big.
680
00:41:53,260 --> 00:41:55,720
- Er...
- Oh, Eddie?
681
00:41:59,510 --> 00:42:00,970
Jury's back.
682
00:42:03,270 --> 00:42:07,690
12 minutes.
That took longer than I thought it would.
683
00:42:09,020 --> 00:42:12,690
Will the defendants please rise?
684
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:16,820
Madame Forelady,
685
00:42:16,950 --> 00:42:19,870
how say you to the charge
of first-degree murder?
686
00:42:20,830 --> 00:42:24,370
We find the defendants... guilty.
687
00:42:38,970 --> 00:42:43,730
- Why, after my brilliant summation?
- How could you possibly convict?
688
00:42:43,850 --> 00:42:47,900
Actually 11 of us were all set to acquit,
but then Juror Six spoke up.
689
00:42:48,020 --> 00:42:49,690
What did Juror Six say?
690
00:42:49,810 --> 00:42:52,650
Tell these guys
what you told the rest of us, honey.
691
00:42:52,780 --> 00:42:56,700
When everyone was looking at the door,
I looked at Mr Benedek and Mr Rawlins.
692
00:42:56,820 --> 00:42:59,740
- So?
- They weren't looking at the door.
693
00:42:59,870 --> 00:43:04,500
They were looking straight ahead.
They knew he wasn't coming.
694
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:11,040
Ah, ah. Hey!
695
00:43:12,380 --> 00:43:13,840
Don't look at me.
696
00:43:18,090 --> 00:43:19,550
Yeah.
697
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:21,300
Hey, who's rumpled now?
698
00:43:21,430 --> 00:43:25,310
I look like a farmer
but I'm a lover
699
00:43:26,390 --> 00:43:29,690
