Could you get my overnight back for me?
No, we can get that later. Now, you know

he'll be here any minute. You promised
me midnight.

Now, what held you up? Couldn't help it.

Tanker overturned in the parkway.
Traffic was backed up from here to

Connecticut. Yeah, well, you shouldn't
have waited so long. A few minutes one

way or another, how much difference
could it make? It makes all the

in the world.

So the trip went okay, right?

Dave, please stop me once.

Tell me the road ahead was icy.

One of them signed my cast.

Okay,

there's turnoff.

Hey, into the bedroom, okay?

And don't make a sound.

Here, you take one of those with you. Go
on, go on. Alex, why?

Because, honey, if you only got one trip
to the well, you gotta take a long

drink.

You said 12 o 'clock.

Punctuality is a fetish with me.

Looks okay.

It looks okay. Hey, that's mother's own,
straight from the Canadian mint.

One plate.

Bills have two sides, Alexander, even
Canadian.

Well, that's what I wanted to talk to
you about. You see, I had some extra

expenses. You wouldn't be dumb enough to
try to jack the price up on me.

Look, this isn't my action.

I got held up at the Canadian end, my
couriers got in trouble and I had to

a couple of buy -offs. You can't expect
me to absorb all the interest, Chernoff.

I'll come up empty.

Well, that's your headache.

We had a firm deal. I'm not going to go
back to Majeski and tell him I need more

bread. Why not? All he has to do is run
off a couple of more bills.

Don't clown around with me, Fairbanks.

There's a limit to how many of these we
can push on the street at once. You know

better than that.

Now, give me that plate.

I don't have it, man. It's not here. Oh,
no? That little green job parked

outside with the ski rack on top, you
think I don't know who that belongs to?

That's right, baby.

Before I get into bed with somebody, I
make it a point to check them out.

Now, are you going to go in that room
and get that plate off of her or am I?

Hard or easy, Fairbanks?

Get it.

And how dead when he got here?

Three, maybe four minutes.

Name's Fairbanks, Alex.

He's an artist.

Well, how can you tell?

Open an eye like this.

What are you thinking, Lieutenant?

What would you rather be doing on a
rainy, cold night?

Yeah, well, if you turn up anything
useful... You'll be the first one to

Lieutenant. Sure, I'll be the first one
to know.

And I hear this loud crash, and I look
out the window, and it's a fire escape

ladder. And there's this man jumping off
it, chasing her down the alley toward

the street. Chasing her? Chasing who?

The girl I brought down the ladder in
the first place. What's the matter?

There's something wrong with my English?

Can you describe these two people for
me?

Well, the girl, I think I might know if
I saw her again, but the man, nothing.

Turned up overcoached, and he was tall.

Lieutenant.

I know I could, Jane. You got a bulletin
for me? He's dead, right?

Shot once.

Very close range.

And yes, he's dead.

Well, that's all for now.

With luck tomorrow, you'll receive a
slug in good condition.

I'll light a candle.

That looks like it hasn't even been
walked around the block.

Well, maybe it's a surrealistic.

Good evening, ma 'am. Can I help you,
please?

Dubonnet on the rock, please.

What do you mean, nobody answers?
Somebody got to answer.

Well, it's Monday night in California,
too, isn't it?

Nobody goes out to Nansino on Monday
night, especially my wife.

Well, Tuesday morning, it's her turn for
the carpool.

Yeah.

Okay, okay, I'll try again in a half
hour.

First we see a girl drive up, and a man
comes down to help her up the stairs.

I think it was him.

A few minutes later, another car
arrives.

A man gets out and goes upstairs.

What about a description?

Well, to tell you the truth, I wasn't
really paying a lot of attention.

But I'll try.

Um, he was tall, and he was wearing a
plaid overcoat. I remember that much.

the girl?

Blonde. Um, 20 -something, in ski
clothes.

Well, ski pads anyway.

You know, flared at the bottom? Yeah,
they're nice.

And there was a ski rack on the roof of
the car. What kind of car?

Green compact.

Maybe foreign.

Wow. With a ski rack on the roof, huh?
Yeah.

What are you waiting for?

Put on a radio.

And there can't be that many cars out
that late at night with that

right?

Right, Lieutenant.

Okay, what happened next?

Nothing.

Well, for about five minutes anyway.

Then the girl runs around the corner,
jumps into her car and takes off.

And right behind her is the man in the
overcoat. He takes off, too.

Ah, miss?

Yeah.

All right.

He took off after in what, miss?

Um, a Continental.

All right.

Blue. And it looked fairly new.

Blue Continental?

Oh, yeah. Yeah. With a checked raincoat
on the back of the seat, right? Yeah.

You putting that on already or what?
Right, right, right. Beautiful.

Um,

I know you said, miss, that, uh, that he
came down to help the blonde up the

stairs, right? Right. That wouldn't have
been because maybe she had a cast on

her ankle, huh?

That's right. My boyfriend and me, we
figured she must have wiped out the

But... But, uh, she left here running.

Yeah. Huh.

Did your mom ever tell you about necking
on the cold stairs?

Come here. You see this?

I want to know where it was made, how
long it was worn, what size, et cetera,

cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

How tall are you?

Six.

Six? Am I standing up?

Yeah,

sir.

Now, what's that?

Looks like a pocket of some kind.

Yeah, but what for?

I don't know. Why don't you take some
pictures? There's a lot of graffiti on

that thing.

Who knows, from that collection of
autographs, we might come up with a

Or another victim.

That's what I like about you, Prince.

You're in flagging optimism.

Right, Amos? Yeah.

The chick went skiing, right?

Right. Where?

Plus, it's closed.

Vermont, New Hampshire. They had a thaw.

So where?

Sun Valley.

Within driving distance. I got it.

All right, I'll give you a choice.
Column A.

The chick took Fairbanks off and
outdistanced the second man, Column B.

The second man iced the victim, the
fluff witnessed it, and she ran for the

tulips.

I'd take Column B.

Sure. If he tried to apprehend the
killer, he'd have reported it to the

whether he caught her or not.

Okay, hot shot.

And what if both of them went too deep
to involve the cops?

Too deep into what? Into what,
sufferers? Up the front stairs with a

leg, out the back window without it.

You want to have a cast removed? Where
do you go to, Picasso?

There was something in a cast.

I can't stand it.

I mean, from a yard full of crabgrass.

A geranium.

Bartender? Yes, ma 'am.

Grab. Can I have my check, please?

Sure.

And a drink, Barton. Yes, sir.

Operator, help me, please.

You wouldn't be dumb enough to try to
call the heat, would you?

You're in this up to your bangs, baby.

Smuggling hot plates is a federal rap.
That's 15 years of folding laundry in

Atlanta. How does that grab you?

Why don't you let me take a little walk?
Maybe we can work something out.

Call her again if she isn't home this
time. Back to the manufacturer.

Hey, you're hurting the little lady.

Look, this is private, so bug off.

Is it private?

No,

it's not private anymore.

You're going to let the little lady go,
or maybe you want to step outside.

That was fun.

Thank you.

Anytime. Can I buy you a drink?

No, you see, I could... Sure, why not?

Come on, it's got to be there.

58 names in the Fairbanks address book
and no Peggy, whatever?

No. Got a Phyllis?

Got a Penelope?

Would you believe a Prunella? No Peggy.

Good night.

Come see, come saw.

Ballistics report the slug came from a
.38.

No known antecedents.

About the cast, you were right.

She couldn't have worn it more than two
days on the outside.

A scar won't heal in two days, let alone
a broken bone.

And what about the pocket of the cast?
They got any idea what you were

in? Rectangular, three by six, quarter
of an inch thick.

Cigarette case.

Hey, did they do any good on the fire
escape?

Maggie's drawers.

What'd you say?

Well, they managed to lift a few
smudges, I guess, but Maggie's drawers.

Maggie.

Maggie, Margaret.

Margaret, that's short for Peggy, right?
Ain't that a nickname?

Right.

Sir, you've been sitting here for an
hour now. Are you a guest of this hotel?

Then I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask
you to move along.

The next thing I know, he comes over to
the room and he sells me the watch.

Sorry, folks, I've got to ask you to
drink up. It's closing time.

Wait a minute.

It's two o 'clock. What kind of a joint
is this?

I thought the bus closed at four in
Gotham City.

Some of them do, sir.

All right, I'll sign it.

Four sixteen.

This is for you.

Thank you very much, sir.

What about him?

What if he's out there? What if he's
waiting?

Oh, him.

So what if he is?

I would just rather not have another
scene.

You don't know him. He can be really
ugly when he's been drinking.

Can't stay here.

Why not?

You have a room, don't you?

Yeah.

Yeah, who is it? What do you want? Miss
Farrell, Miss Peggy Farrell. Not home.

Oh, well, you must be Bettina James?

Well, I'm Lieutenant Coach Eggman,
Hatton South Detective.

Can I come in?

Well, I can't open it until I close it
first.

Oh.

Can I trust you?

sleeping until midnight.

What time is it?

Still after two.

Oh. Do you mind if I smoke?

No, fine, fine.

Does your girlfriend, Peggy Farrell,
pose for an artist named Alex Fairbanks?

I guess she poses for him. He's her
boyfriend.

Do you have a green compact car with a
ski rack on the roof?

That's right. 74 Toyota green.

Did she have an accident?

Well, Alex Fairbanks was murdered
earlier today.

And we have reason to believe that your
roomie, Miss Farrell, was involved.

Oh, no, no, you're wrong.

Peggy, I mean, she's not even in the
city. She's still up in Canada.

She drove up with some friends to go
skiing. She's not due back until Sunday.

Where in Canada?

A lodge outside of Toronto.

Let me think.

A leaf, a leaf. The maple leaf.

Yeah, the maple leaf.

She should show up. You will let us
know, huh?

Okay.

She seemed to be leveling. What do you
think?

Yeah, I think we ought to put a plant
out of place.

Peggy could show up. Bettina could start
her sleepwalking routine.

We could save ourselves a plethora of
surprises.

What the hell's plethora?

Follow me. We'll get a library card.

Miss James?

Huh? At least again, I have one more
question.

But you didn't actually see the accident
happen?

Uh -huh.

Well, thank you very much, Mr. Waverly.
You've been extremely helpful.

I just spoke to Waverly, one of the
dudes Peggy Farrell drove up with. Seems

was alone on the slope when the alleged
mishap occurred.

She suddenly shows up at the lodge with
a leg in a cast yesterday afternoon.

Half hour later, she's on her way back
to the States.

Yeah, well, to fit a cast, you gotta
know what you're doing. You don't go to

mechanic for a thing like that.

All right, find out how many doctors
live in the vicinity of the lodge, okay?

Because if I'm right, one of those
doctors is going to lose his shingle.

And then make a liaison with the Royal
Canadian Mounted Police.

The Royal Canadian... You know, every
time I say that, I think of Nelson Eddy

top of a white mountain singing that
song, uh, Rosemary, I Love You.

What's that chick's name?

I don't know.

Jeanette McDonald.

Hell, yeah.

29th Street Superior Theater.

Well, anyway, send them all to pieces.
They want in on this, okay? Let them

it out themselves.

gotta be kidding gotta be abroad right
you know what time it is i know what

it is but my grandson doesn't my
daughter and her husband want to go to

for their anniversary only who's to
babysit right i'll tell you who's to

okay so my wife and me we make a deal
lillian will take the first feeding i'll

take the second then lillian you know
like that figuring this way we'll each

catch a little shut eye sound pretty
good so far

Four o 'clock in the morning, little
Desmond is still on his two o 'clock

feeding. And I'm pacing and pacing.

I pace a hole right into the carpet. And
I'm promising Desmond an Oxford

education, a seat on the stock exchange,
his own private plane, if he'll only

burp for me.

I know what time it is.

I haven't even been to bed yet.

Yeah, you caught a homicide.

Yeah. You should have promised them a
badge.

Yeah.

That's all we caught.

Take a look at this, see if you can make
any sense out of it.

And a cast.

That's a new wrinkle. Three by six by a
quarter of an inch.

Money? They'd have to be big bills, and
how did that? Otherwise, why smuggle

them? Just to clear them.

Maybe you're wasting your time.

Maybe she won't even come here.

She'll come.

Where's she going to go?

She doesn't know the law is wise to her
yet.

She certainly doesn't know I'm here.

So she'll come.

What are you going to do to her?

I've run out of money. Can you loan me
some?

How much? As much as you can scrape
together.

I'll get it back to you somehow. I
promise.

Of course you know I will.

Oh, thank you.

I'll never forget it.

Can you bring it to me?

Won't you come here?

I can't explain. Now just trust me.

You do the thing you know I would.

Meet me at the little bridge over
Central Park Pond.

Bye.

Thank you.

Yes. Thank you, Inspector McGregor.

Oh, yes.

Yes, thank you.

Oh, yes. The moment anything develops,
we'll keep in touch.

Thank you, Inspector McGregor.

Grandpa.

Grandpa.

You want to know what Peggy Farrell
smuggled in and what got Fairbanks all

sudden dead?

Huh? You ready?

The Royal Canadian mints out two $20
plates.

Well, Tom Gimbels is having a dinnerware
sale.

That was Pier 96. They've got the car.
It was impounded and towed away from a

passenger zone in front of the Royal
Hotel.

Interesting?

Fascinating.

That means that our girl Peggy, Tannis
Zeroyalis, was her only boyfriend,

We could call a roomie and find out.

Okay, pronto, por favor. Be my guest.

Maybe it was Macy's.

And you kept your eyes on the place and
never took them off, right? Right,

Lieutenant. Word of honor.

And nobody came in? Nobody.

Right, Sapstein?

Nobody. And nobody came out?

Well, out.

What does that mean? One guy, yeah.

One guy what?

Come out, got in the car and drove off.
A big blue car.

Carnetto, maybe.

What did he look like, Starling?

We couldn't see his face, Lieutenant.
There was no light across his feet. Not

enough, anyway.

How long ago was that?

20 minutes, maybe.

We moved, huh?

No.

I did.

I figured all he wanted to do was ice
the murder witness.

He wanted more.

Like what, Lieutenant?

Those missing plates.

Peggy must still have them on her.

And once he gets his hands on those,
she's finished too.

Hey, Lieutenant.

There's a piece of paper in that hand.

What is it?

Well, should we wait for Forensic to get
here?

Hey, the killer's got a 20 -minute head
start on us. How many homicides do you

need? And you want to wait for Forensic?

Give it to me.

Okay, contact econo rent I want a name
Unless I'm mistaken there's a dead girl

in the neighborhood.

Hope to God I'm wrong sprout. Let's take
a look

Lieutenant, I not only got you a name, I
got you a highly significant address.

Oh, no.

The name, Crocker.

Give me the damn name.

Hello?

Hey, thank you, Alfred.

Room service.

Nice to make up the bed with you. Come
back later?

Hotel security, Mr. Tatum. Can I talk to
you a minute?

Yeah, sure.

Yeah? Hey, wait a minute.

Hey, just a minute. Hey,

Moore! Moore!

You got the wrong room, pal.

My name is Lloyd Tatum. I'm from Encino,
California.

I'm with Wider Computers.

I didn't do anything.

What is he doing? I didn't do anything.

Honest!

Hey, now, wait a minute. What the hell
is this all about?

Well, Mr. Tatum, it's about murder.

Three of them.

Yeah, let me read you your rights.

When I... Yeah, you read it.

You have the right to remain silent. If
you give up the right to remain silent,

anything you say can and will be used
against you in a court of law.

You've never seen this girl before?

Never.

Look, I mean, if you're so juiced, how
can you be that positive?

I can't be.

But if I saw her, I don't recall it.
Must have been other people in the room.

Maybe they can jog your memory. The
bartender, if you served her both of

drinks, don't you think he'd remember?

Wouldn't you say?

Yeah. There was a girl, a blonde.

She tried to pick me up.

I might have bought her a drink. I don't
know.

I mean, I was alone. I was just killing
time.

There wasn't any harm in that.

She didn't go to the room with you?

No, absolutely not.

Well, how do you explain your car being
in her possession? Come on.

Well, the parking stuff, I had that on
me. Maybe I dropped it in the bar. Maybe

she picked my pocket or something.

Yeah, but the bar closes at 2 a .m.

She was seen walking into your hotel
garage the day after five.

Come on, huh? Can you tell us what
happened during those three hours?

I can't. I don't know.

Okay. Who wants to run a desk a couple
of times? I'll loosen him up.

All right, Lloyd.

He's lying.

Sure, but he's not the slob we're after.

I mean, look at his bona fide.

Yeah, right.

Oh, you changed, Frank.

Now a computer salesman from Southern
California, the wife, two kids, and a

split level in Encino?

He's entirely innocent. Why won't he
tell us the truth?

Yeah, okay, you go home to Lillian,
okay?

You tell her that you're gonna spend
three hours with a buxom -stacked blonde

a motel room, right?

Let me know what she's gonna tell you.

Before or after she hits me with the
kitchen stone. Got a call from Montreal.

Inspector McGregor.

They picked up the doctor, made the cat.

He's singing like he's auditioning for
the Met. He makes the Fairbanks

connection, but who Fairbanks was
peddling the plates to, McGregor doesn't

He had to communicate.

He thinks he's dying.

I take off one of my stockings and I
kill him with it.

Homicide, mister.

Don't you know what that means?

Look, I'm going to spell it out for you,
mister.

You are hindering justice.

That could be a very, very heavy rap.

Now, look, I've got three unsolved
homicides on my hands.

I haven't been to bed for 24 hours, and
I'm also in a very, very ugly mood.

Now, I understand how you feel about
your wife finding out about Peggy

We've all been in that same jackpot. But
you just think how she's going to feel

when you start writing her from
Dannemora.

I'm going to give you ten seconds.

And then after that, hey, it's out of my
hands. I'm going to have to book you.

Okay. She came to my room.

Did she spend the night?

Yes. All right, what did you two, you
know, talk about? We didn't talk,

Lieutenant.

You've got to believe me.

I was bombed.

I buy that.

You know, I mean, earlier at the bar,
what brought you two together?

I came to a rescue.

Oh, how do you mean?

I think some guy was giving her a hard
time, and I broke it up. I told him to

get lost.

Kind of tall with a checkered overcoat?

I think so.

And if I showed you some mug shots,
would you be able to pick out his face?

Possibly, yes.

That's him.

That's him. There's no doubt about it.
Maury Chernoff.

Okay.

So now we know who the blue continental
belongs to.

Get the plate number from the state tax
and put it on the radio.

You want it picked up?

Well, I'd prefer him six foot under, but
I'll settle for a pickup.

Okay.

You don't need me anymore.

There you go.

Relation. Look, you'll have to stay in
town, you know.

We need you to testify before the grand
jury.

And I can't make any promises, but if I
can, I'll try to keep it out of the West

Coast papers.

I appreciate that, Lieutenant.

Stub your toe, you've got to expect some
scuff marks, huh?

She came to me out of fear.

I went to her in loneliness.

Looks like I got the best of the
bargain, huh?

I'm still alive.

I have his room number, please.

Lieutenant. Lieutenant.

They spotted Chernoff's car.

Where's Chernoff?

There's no sign of him.

I told him to sit down. He'll show up.

Where's the car parked?

It's in front of the Hotel Royale.

All right, Crocker, get Saberstein and
Tracy, okay, and tell them to meet us at

the Hotel Royale.

We may need some backup.

416, please.

Insights. Don't even stop to think about
it.

All right, where's that plate?

Would you believe me when I tell you I
don't know what you're talking about?

You keep saying that, I'm going to blow
your brains out.

Who is it? Room service, your breakfast,
sir.

When did you have time to order
breakfast?

In the lobby on the way up.

Get rid of him.

That's all right, leave it outside.

You'll have to sign for the check, sir.

All right.

Staffer Steve. Yeah.

Call an ambulance.

Right.

Three people died for that.

Welcome to the Empire State, Mr. Tatum.

Nice family.

Thank you.
