All language subtitles for Ironside s06e06 Camera Action Murder

I think you'd better throw in the
sponge, Ed.

Please take a break.

I hate to see a machine conquer a man.
Don't rub it in.

If Fran can do it, I can do it.

Mail call.

Bills, bills, bills.

Personal.

As a movie star with us today.

Don't I wish. Hey, you know how to type.

Hey, right on, brother, right on.

Hey, Chief.

That's all it is. More bills and...

What's this all about?

Is it a plain brown wrapper?

No return address.

Probably an equipment demo.

Only one way to find out.

Anybody we know?

Never saw him before.

Hey, we're close.

Where do we go?

But it's not part of my routine.

Oh, come on. I need the footage.

All right, Scott.

This is car 863.

We're at Kearney and Van Ness. On our
way to Pier 7.

Clear.

Satisfied. Dynamite.

Could I have a little more profile,
love?

Is this a documentary or is it going
with the wind?

You have such a nice profile.

even filming when are you going to learn
that the cameras are nearly as

important as a photographer well the
subject is the most important of all

particularly in this case maybe it's not
it's not

Okay, folks, you want to stand back
right over here, please?

Let's move it.

What now?

We'll wait till Homicide gets here.

They conduct the investigation.

Let's do something.

Let's take a look at the body.

But I wouldn't have any reason.

Come on now, let's move.

I'm wasting film.

Excuse me.

That's it.

Lift it up and take a look at it.

That's good.

Fantastic.

Honey, interview him. Come on.

I saw it all. The boys from the Matilda
brought her in.

Jumping. That's what she must have been.
We get them all the time.

We gonna be on the news, mister?

That'd be so old -timing.

Thank you.

Honey, I want another shot of you in the
body.

No.

All right, police lady, what's wrong?

Why did you ask me to look at her again?

Because I might have been underexposed.

Underexposed?

You don't have any feeling about it at
all, do you?

Three years ago in Vietnam, I was a
combat photographer.

I saw a lot of dead people. I mean, men,
women, children, friends, enemies.

Well, my old sound man was killed
standing right next to me. And you

I suppose.

Let's go.

I said back there, I didn't mean...
Forget it.

But if you have any sympathy in your
heart at all, you'll have dinner with me

tonight.

You and friends?

Three's a crowd.

It's a jumper, Chief. We just saw her
body on Pier 7.

Identity?

No.

I'll check with Homicide. Maybe they
have a make -up by now.

What can you tell me about that film,
Mr. Blair? Technical opinion?

It was badly exposed.

No sense of composition.

Very shaky.

I didn't like it at all. What else,
apart from the aesthetics of the film?

was shot with a late model 8mm camera
with a zoom lens.

But there are millions of them on the
market.

Film? Standard color film, bad anywhere.

Could it be traced?

Maybe. If you got the box it came in,
sometimes you can find out where it was

processed. Check you later?

Her name is Ann Simonson, lived on Page
Street.

I wish she moves faster around here.

At times.

Thank you.

But it's self -defeating.

Now, how will people ever learn what a
police woman does if you won't let me

turn on the camera?

I'm not your mother.

This is a murder investigation.

And I don't want that camera distracting
anyone I question.

Understood?

I promise not to distract anybody.

Doesn't look like there's anybody to
distract anyhow.

This is Anne Simonson's house.

She's not here.

I know.

Would you mind answering a few
questions?

Your cat.

Oh, cats don't relate to ownership.

They just belong to themselves.

Oh.

May I have your name?

Yellow. Do you have a last name?

You know, I used to think that was
important.

But then I found out you really don't
need one.

When did you last see Anne?

That's hard to say.

Last week sometime.

I guess she's in trouble.

She's dead.

Murdered.

Well, I just moved in last month.

I really didn't know her very well.

What about friends, relatives, a
boyfriend?

MacArthur Spence.

Do you know where he lives?

I used to, but then I forgot.

I don't like to clutter up my mind with
that kind of baggage.

Then that's all you can tell us.

Well, thank you very much for your help,
Yellow.

That's a nice rig.

Custom, huh?

That's right.

I hope you don't mind that I... No, not
at all.

Tell me, do you come jogging around here
often?

I try to get a mile in a day.

You must be fairly familiar with the
people who come here.

Yeah, I guess I'm one of the regulars.

You ever seen this young woman?

No, I've never seen her.

It was taken right over there.

Sorry I can't be more helpful. Maybe you
can.

Which way is the hot dog stand?

Just follow that path.

You can't miss it.

Nice camera.

Eight millimeter, isn't it? Yes, sir.

As soon as I learn to use it properly,
I'll go on to a 16, I hope.

Bye.

Found the place it was developed, but
the name on the lab sheet was John

Needless to say, nobody could remember
what John Smith looked like. Nobody ever

has. I'll see you tonight.

I'm afraid I've run out of angles,
Chief, except for the hot dog stand.

I'm putting Fran on that.

Good morning, Chief. Ed.

Good morning. How much longer is this
film going to take? I can't hack this

typewriter. Now you know how I feel
about all the questions. A film like

can't be rushed.

Do you know how long it took to shoot
Manic of the North?

It's gone to their heads.

Ed, you'd better set up the projector.

Well, Mr. Blair, I gather you knew her.

I was shooting some newsreel footage for
a charity fashion.

Most of the people there, they were...
Rosemary, she stood out like a rose in a

cactus garden.

We saw each other several times, and
then I got an assignment in Europe

Rosemary's last name?

Forrest. Rosemary Forrest.

Ed, see if you can find any connection
between her and the Simonson girl.

Aye. Did she have any family in the
area?

She used to live with her brother.

You and she were pretty close, weren't
you? What about that idea in your

criminological little mind?

You did?

Didn't know it was that transparent.

It's true, though, isn't it?

We all change.

We meet new people.

We are on a case, Officer Belding.

Yes, sir.

Here, grab a hold. I got you.

Okay.

Family seems rather well off.

Less inherited money.

Parents were killed a couple of years
ago in a plane crash.

Actually, how are you, boy?

Fine, fine.

How are you?

Nice to see you again, Mr. Forrest.

You know each other?

Just a chance meeting.

I'm Chief Ironside. This is Miss Belden.
How do you do?

How do you do?

Won't you come in?

Thank you.

And it's then you share this house with
your sister.

Yes, that's right.

I haven't seen her in a couple of days,
though.

It's such a big old place, we didn't
even eat together one week.

Sort of ship in the night sort of thing.

She'll be sorry she missed you.

Eric's the one who got me interested in
film.

So I was going to ask you, do you always
carry a camera when you go jogging?

Yes, sir.

It's a project for a film class I'm
taking. Sort of a journal history of a

over a six -month period.

Oh, excuse me.

I'm having more company now than I've
had all month.

Oh, Eric, would you grab that for me,
please?

Hello. Hold on.

It's for you, Chief.

Thank you.

Ironside.

homicide in the morgue and find out if
any of their reports dovetailed with

we saw in that film.

Zero. So I came out to the beach.

We found it.

I'd say it happened about two days ago.
Any leads?

No, nothing that even looks like a clue.

Sheriff's men are taking it from here.
They'll relay pathology and anything

come up with.

You're positive it's the girl in the
film?

Yeah. She used to be.

All right, Ed. See you later.

This is Chief Ironside.

Chief, this is Arnold Gardner, my
attorney.

My pleasure, Chief.

I do.

I hope you're not here in your
professional capacity.

Yes, I am. Two days ago, I received a
piece of film in the mail. It showed the

murder of a young woman.

This morning, we received a second film.

We believe the young woman killed in it
was your sister,

Rosemary.

They've just located her body.

Would you take him and hold him just at
the head of the bed?

All right.

First his parents, now this.

You were close to the family?

I loved them.

When Bill and Mary died, I thought of
Rosie and Thatcher as my own children.

Not just people who came to me to have
checks signed.

Then you were the executor of the
estate.

Yes, well, I told them at that time
that...

We could make other arrangements, but
they seemed to feel they wanted to keep

the way it was.

Tell me, Mr. Gardner, who might have
wanted to kill her?

No one.

Not a single soul.

You said there was another girl killed
in the same way?

Yes. There must be a madman out there.

Must you?

Shh. Look back there.

Yes? Oh, Mr. Farty.

I'm Officer Belding of the San Francisco
Police.

This is Mr. Blair.

Police?

I don't call the police.

I don't do nothing.

If you want to come inside, you've got
to show me a paper. I know.

I only want to ask you a few questions.

But if you don't got a paper... I know
the Constitution of the United States.

Last time I called the police and my
grandson...

His bicycle is stolen.

The police are coming. They say, thank
you, Mr. Fonzie. Goodbye, Mr. Fonzie.

Pero, no bicycle.

Find the bicycle?

I'm afraid not.

It's about your hot dog stand in the
park.

It's closed off.

I don't talk to you. You don't got a
paper. Goodbye.

Hey, Calabrese.

How do you know I'm from Calabria?

I made a film there. Porto Salvo.

It's full of thieves of Porto Salvo.
True, but the women, huh?

All of them either none as fine as those
as Calabrese.

How do you know I'm not a Napolitan?

That's impossible.

The whole world knows a Napolitan. He
will talk with anyone.

Okay, I talk with you. I don't talk with
a lady policeman.

Come on, inside. Come on, come on.

kid. Come on.

Not bad. You can sit anywhere you like.
Go ahead.

Hey, here's a picture of my son -in
-law. He's married to my daughter, Anne.

He's a very lucky man.

Vincenzo!

He's a very, very lucky man.

First we pour some wine, and then we
talk.

All right.

Tell me, when did you close down your
hot dog stand?

On the 10th, I retire.

I quit. I close up.

That gives me more time to play bocce
and play with my grandson.

Vincenzo! Have you ever seen this girl?

No.

Well, have you ever seen anyone taking
pictures?

Hey, they take pictures all day long.

I mean, movies with a camera like this.

Yes.

I see a young man. He's a run -around
all the time.

Vincenzo, dove state?

This is my grandson, Vincenzo. How do
you do? Hello, Vincenzo.

Vincenzo, I want you to go to the
grocery store.

Bagni and Borgato are leaving.

And local bread. You understand?

Pepperoncino, salami, provolone,
modedella.

Basta, basta.

I insist.

A filabrezioni for new friends.

Fanny, then I will cook.

Lady policeman.

Now you will taste a real Calabresi
dinner.

Hurry up. Come on.

Chin -chin.

Chin -chin.

Well, I get ready to start cooking.

What would you have done without me?

Filmed three murders, all the same
except the location.

Anyone recognize the location?

Looks like Marin County, I'd say in the
woods. Yeah, maybe around Mount

Tamalpais.

First thing in the morning, Ed? Yep.

Let me do it.

No, Fran, there's another area in which
I think you can help.

Talk to you soon as I can, Chief.

Good night. Check you later, Ed. Good
night, Ed. Hey, I'm for more coffee.

Anybody else?

No, thank you. Not me.

You know...

It's almost as if the murder is asking
to be caught.

Well, it's something else.

Chief, I'm sure Eric could find the time
to show you how to do that. I'm sure

that Mr. Blair would enjoy nothing more
than to educate me in your presence.

I can't believe it.

Did I actually detect a little bit of
jealousy there? Of course not.

Didn't you say the same for Mr. Blair?

Men.

Seriously. How much do you know about
Mr. Blair?

How much do you know?

The usual high school, college, Vietnam,
lost his brother in combat.

Brother?

His sound man?

How did you know?

You mentioned something for me to do.

Yes.

Drop in on Thatcher Forrest in the
morning. He may be feeling well enough

answer some questions.

Well, if you don't need me for anything
else tonight, I...

Good night.

I'll see you later, friend.

You sending her to see him? Somebody has
to talk to the young man.

I thought a feminine approach was in
order.

Well, he's a kook, and a kook's been
killing women at random.

And most of them look like Fran, in case
you fail to realize that. Your

observation has not eluded me.

Thatcher is the only one that we know of
who knew any of them. And he has a

camera. And he hangs around the park
where the first girl was killed. So you

sent her to see him like it was a trip
to the corner drugstore.

Let's see. Insert.

Tab A into slot B.

That does it.

Haven't seen anybody at all.

Even been out of the house since
yesterday.

Not very good at facing reality.

But I'm glad you're here.

Thank you.

My collection.

Did that when I was about 18.

Mother thought it was so great.

Hung it out here so everybody could see
it.

Well, it's beautiful.

Thank you.

It must have been a lot of work.

I always throw myself into something.

Entomology, tropical fish.

You name it, I got into it.

And now it's... It's making movies?

Yeah, it really gets into your system.

It captures so many things, you know.

Beautiful scenery.

People. Especially people.

They're happy.

Sad.

Angry or afraid.

I talk too much.

I guess I should move out.

No point in staying.

It's so...

self -pity, doesn't it?

No.

It's hard to plan on.

Not that so much. It's just that as long
as I'm here, they're

still here with me.

In my mind, at least.

Mom.

Dad and Rosemary.

It's still our house, you know.

This is... Where's Rosemary's room?

May I go in?

Yeah, sure.

Uh... You don't have to if you don't
want.

I sure don't, should I?

This was always the happiest room in the
house.

Is there anyone, anyone at all that
might have wanted to hurt her?

No, of course not.

Had she seemed depressed lately?

No, I'm the only one in this family that
ever had that problem.

That's a compliment.

It's true.

You don't have to go, do you?

I'm afraid so.

Can I get you anything? A sandwich, some
coffee, anything?

Maybe another time.

I know how you must feel now.

If it would help to talk to someone, you
can call me.

Ironside. Yes, Ed, Chief.

How are you doing?

Good news and bad news.

Found a place, but no body.

All right. Stick with it as long as you
think necessary. I'll have the print

struck and sent to missing person.

Good afternoon, Mr. Gardner.

Chief Ironside?

Something you want?

Yes. This and Thatcher Forrest.

I don't see the connection.

Why did you send your policewoman to
badger him? Officer Belding has never

badgered anyone in her whole life.

Considering Thatcher's precarious mental
condition, I feel that any questioning,

except under controlled circumstances,
may be characterized as badgering.

Does he feel the same way?

Well, no, but... Let's be honest with
each other,

Chief.

You consider Thatcher a suspect in the
matter of his sister's death, don't you?

It would be more correct in saying that
I have not excluded him in the matter.

That's the same thing.

Surely you don't think that I would
charge Thatcher with something he didn't

That's immaterial.

The point is that...

And please try to understand this. It's
my duty to protect Thatcher's rights.

More than my duty. I love that boy. But
you seem to presume his guilt. Not for a

second.

Let's be realistic.

Thatcher's position is far from
enviable.

His interest in photography?

His instability?

Apparently you subscribe to the mad
killer hypothesis.

But the stories in all the newspapers,
the news reports...

Don't you?

A hypothesis is based on an assumption.

Assumptions can be based on beliefs,
interpretations, a minimum of fact.

Personally, in police work, I'm an
agnostic.

Well, whatever.

I suppose you know what you're doing.

But I want to tell you right now.

I am seeking a court order to prevent
any further questioning of Thatcher.

Please try to understand.

I do, Mr. Gardner.

Sorry I interrupted you. Me too.

Good day.

I was just thinking, I wish I'd brought
my camera with me.

I thought you wanted the night off.

Well, a new possibility just struck me.

How about instead of a day in the life
of a policewoman, we add a night in

the life of a lady?

Any preference?

I've been meaning to bring it up.

But you're too bashful.

You must have me mixed up with one of
your other men.

Mark, Ed is the chief.

That's right to the point.

Whether you meant it to be or not.

You think there's not enough men in my
life?

You know better.

What I am trying to point out is that
your profession has narrowed your

perspective.

You see, either you're so attached to it
that only Ed, Mark, and the chief have

any meaning for you, or else that men
don't see you as a woman.

Because of the badge.

That's their problem.

I agree.

But it is one of the ways in which being
a policewoman is limiting.

What I do, is it really so important to
you?

It's important that people I care about
care about themselves.

We all be so much more than we are.

We have unlimited possibilities.

acknowledging those possibilities that
we fulfill ourselves as human beings.

If I don't quit my job, do you stop
caring about me? Not a

chance. See, I'm hard to get rid of.

I'm old -fashioned that way.

Well, if I were to quit, and it's not in
my mind to do so,

Well, it would have to be for something
more substantial than some

scatterbrained photographer's idea of
human development.

You admit there might be a few things
more important than me, a policewoman,

huh?

Did I ever say there weren't?

Huh?

You're not the only one who's old
-fashioned.

16 millimeter.

I'll get the other projector.

You sure Blair took that footage?

Last week sometime.

All right, I want you to go home and
stay there.

Ed will arrange for a team to keep you
under surveillance.

I understand.

Good. Ed, you take care of it. Yes.

I want you to follow up on the third
murder. It's crucial we find out about

anything about it.

What about me?

The Academy. You'll be late.

Bull. Bull.

I said negative, sir. Not today.

and her master detective and friend.

Want some coffee?

No, thanks.

Very efficient -looking setup.

You always leave the door unlocked?

Well, you never can tell when somebody
wants to borrow a grease pencil or

something. Besides, what's the steal?

This arrived in the morning mail.

Is she all right?

She's fine.

You recognize the film?

Of course.

This is where he came from.

The answer is no.

Who else has access to this room?

Almost anyone.

About 20 of these rooms here.

People working all the time. The guard
at the desk downstairs.

Does he keep a record of people who come
in and out?

That's pretty informal here. Well, he's
there mostly to make sure nobody walks

out with a moviola.

Guess I'm a suspect now. Since
yesterday, nothing's changed.

You're splicing, still sloppy.

You sound like Eric Blair.

Now, I'm asking you to look at it. It
seems to me looking at something means

see it.

Sir, how many guesses do I have?

Watch.

Does any one of the girls seem to
recognize the photographer?

Yeah, Rosemary Farr. She's smiling, yet
the guy almost waves at her.

Precisely. You're just magnificent.

Hello? Hi, it's me, love.

I'd like to see you.

Well, you can't get in.

The chief's ordered a stakeout around my
building.

Well, how about you getting out?

Look, I wouldn't ask you if it weren't
important, Fran. You know, it has to do

with this whole case and with us.

Can't you tell me I'm at fault?

No, not on the phone.

Look, I'll wait for you around the
corner in about a half an hour. Okay?

love. But, Eric.

You trust me?

Yes.

That's why I think I'm the killer.

I don't.

Being followed?

Doesn't make a difference.

Stupid question.

See how the picture jiggles?

That's when the killer shifts the
camera, just as you did.

Where does that get us?

Nothing else. It gives us a better
understanding of the crime.

Wouldn't you say?

Whatever I said the other night, it just
doesn't even apply anymore.

Man, you're in danger.

The only way you're going to get out of
danger is to get out of this city.

Eric, I don't know. I've been offered an
assignment to cover the Trans -Pacific

Yacht Race.

We can leave tomorrow.

Think of it as a honeymoon.

Eric, come on. You don't have... Why
don't you

take it home, folks?

You don't want to set a bad example for
the young people now, do you? I wouldn't

worry about them too much, sir.

No, we haven't found a body, Chief, but
the missing persons report is confirmed.

When did she disappear?

About three weeks.

Thanks. You on your way in?

Just crossed the bridge.

See you.

Mark, we've been heading in the wrong
direction.

Been going off in a lot of directions,
as far as I can see. Suppose a man wants

to kill somebody in particular.

He plans it so that it appears to be the
act of an insane person.

So that it's one of a series of several
related murders, but apparently without

motive. Hey, but there is a motive.

Certainly, even if it's irrational.

She said I could come talk to her.

Miss Bailey, tell him, please.

You were supposed to stay in your
apartment. Let me go. I had to get

Please. I'm sorry. I really didn't mean
to cause any trouble.

Well, that's one way of flushing about.

Yes. Yes, it is.

Are you going up and get some sleep?

I'll come with you. No, no, really. It's
not necessary. I'm fine, really.

forest, that's impossible.

No get back there and now.

Hey, what's up? I've arrested the wrong
man, pulled off the stakeout.

Sergeant Brown.

Yes, Chief. Ed, get to Fran right away.

Roger.

Thank you.

Study of the first three films revealed
that the murderer always switched hands,

filming with his natural hand and then
firing with his natural hand. The camera

always moved to the right, indicating he
was left -handed. Arnold Gardner was

the only left -handed suspect, so... She
finds his office.

Yes, go ahead.

Right.

Okay, thank you.

It's all wrapped up. Gardner finally
confessed.

All right.

Where was I, Fran?

Fran? Oh!

Fran?

Good morning.

When you didn't call, I was afraid.

Well, I can't say what I want on the
phone.

Ah, good morning, Mr. Black.

Chief. Ed? Yeah, hello. Hey, isn't this
picture finished yet? I mean, you're not

stealing her again, are you? I'm going
to try.

Come on, Sergeant.

I have some notes to file.

Hotel reservations.

Lane tickets for two.

And an appointment with Judge Franklin.

He can perform the ceremony during lunch
hour.

And after this assignment?

Well, wildlife preserve in Africa.

Monte Carlo, Radley.

Maybe just, maybe a lamissary in Tibet.

That's a great honeymoon.

It just goes on and on.

I want this very much, Eric.

With all my heart, I want this.

But?

But I don't think I'm ready yet.

will you ever be yes well that's good
enough for me

when i get back from hawaii i'll call
you please

Forget.

File.

File.

Forget.

File.

I'm glad you're back.

If indeed she is.
