Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:57,130 --> 00:00:57,909
Yes, darling.
2
00:00:57,910 --> 00:00:59,550
I know it's Sunday.
3
00:01:00,090 --> 00:01:02,670
And I know I promised to take you out
for dinner.
4
00:01:03,010 --> 00:01:04,870
But I cannot help myself.
5
00:01:06,950 --> 00:01:07,950
Yes.
6
00:01:08,890 --> 00:01:11,350
Elaine, please understand.
7
00:01:11,950 --> 00:01:17,130
Your father is still a stranger in this
country. A poor stranger who has to work
8
00:01:17,130 --> 00:01:18,950
and work hard for a living.
9
00:01:20,310 --> 00:01:21,690
Business here is bad.
10
00:01:22,910 --> 00:01:23,910
Very bad.
11
00:01:24,330 --> 00:01:25,330
I'm worried.
12
00:01:26,990 --> 00:01:29,670
I try only to help. You understand?
13
00:01:31,950 --> 00:01:32,950
Yeah.
14
00:01:34,670 --> 00:01:35,670
Yes, Elaine.
15
00:01:36,070 --> 00:01:38,650
I'll try to finish the paperwork early.
16
00:01:38,870 --> 00:01:41,710
Then perhaps he still can go out.
17
00:01:42,530 --> 00:01:44,610
Goodbye. Goodbye, my baby.
18
00:03:25,550 --> 00:03:26,950
Fire department, can I help you?
19
00:03:27,350 --> 00:03:28,830
Box 4775.
20
00:03:29,990 --> 00:03:31,770
Yes, ma 'am. We'll take care of it right
away.
21
00:03:32,470 --> 00:03:33,590
That's Sutton and Main.
22
00:03:33,990 --> 00:03:37,330
Confirming phone call. Bloom up. Smoke
and fire both. The warehouse.
23
00:03:37,910 --> 00:03:38,910
28's first in.
24
00:03:40,350 --> 00:03:42,070
Engine 28 from Westlake.
25
00:03:42,310 --> 00:03:44,450
Respond to box 4775.
26
00:03:45,530 --> 00:03:47,450
Sutton and Main. A structure fire.
27
00:04:50,540 --> 00:04:52,520
West Lake from Platoon Commander
Moorfield.
28
00:04:53,220 --> 00:04:54,720
Platoon Commander from West Lake.
29
00:04:54,940 --> 00:04:58,300
This is a 100 by 200 foot warehouse
fully involved.
30
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,000
Send out a full third alarm assignment.
31
00:05:01,420 --> 00:05:03,600
We need more blowers and an extra squad.
32
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,420
I picked up the call, saw the loom about
a mile away.
33
00:05:22,940 --> 00:05:24,480
We going in for a closer look?
34
00:05:24,900 --> 00:05:26,580
Gary, you're retired, remember?
35
00:05:29,140 --> 00:05:30,140
Yeah.
36
00:05:32,280 --> 00:05:35,480
Look, my driver's fighting for me on the
other side of the fire.
37
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:37,500
Monitor the radio, will you? I'll be
right back.
38
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:38,760
Sure.
39
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:39,920
Sure.
40
00:06:29,840 --> 00:06:32,980
Oh, this baby's a beaut. You get me all
the coverage you can.
41
00:06:33,580 --> 00:06:34,580
Will do, Johnny.
42
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:50,680
Well...
43
00:06:55,870 --> 00:06:59,170
Well, if it isn't former Deputy Fire
Chief Cary York.
44
00:06:59,430 --> 00:07:03,010
They told me you had a ham operator's
rig and were running around town in your
45
00:07:03,010 --> 00:07:06,950
car picking up fire department shortwave
broadcasts. Still make them believe
46
00:07:06,950 --> 00:07:09,650
you're a real fireman? Get off my back,
Tom.
47
00:07:10,030 --> 00:07:12,990
Now with you on the scene, it's like old
times, isn't it, Chiefy?
48
00:07:13,610 --> 00:07:14,880
I warn you! you, Tom?
49
00:07:15,180 --> 00:07:18,740
I, uh, I don't have to stick around now.
I can predict the outcome of this fire
50
00:07:18,740 --> 00:07:20,060
in advance. A total loss.
51
00:07:20,300 --> 00:07:26,640
I'll let me alone. I'll kill the
pipsqueak. General, this is a dangerous
52
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,600
You're in the way. Well, didn't your
public relations ever tell you the
53
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:30,860
Estate is never in the way?
54
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,100
I'll notify you when we have a statement
for the press.
55
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:34,320
Oh, I'll bet.
56
00:07:34,420 --> 00:07:38,520
Platoon Commander Farrell Moorfield and
the fire department presided as another
57
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,680
structure was converted into a parking
lot.
58
00:07:41,470 --> 00:07:45,530
We did the best we could, said the
deputy chief. You say that. I've heard
59
00:07:45,530 --> 00:07:46,530
story before.
60
00:07:49,010 --> 00:07:52,290
Gary, you're old enough to know better.
Now, why didn't you let me hit him? Or
61
00:07:52,290 --> 00:07:53,009
get hit?
62
00:07:53,010 --> 00:07:54,010
Him?
63
00:07:55,530 --> 00:08:00,110
Where'd Blake from, platoon commander?
64
00:08:00,690 --> 00:08:01,690
Send out an aid unit.
65
00:08:02,170 --> 00:08:03,930
Platoon commander from West Lake. Right.
66
00:08:04,790 --> 00:08:06,930
Arson? No question of it.
67
00:08:07,370 --> 00:08:09,990
Somebody wanted to sell this warehouse
to the insurance company.
68
00:08:10,550 --> 00:08:11,550
This warehouse?
69
00:08:13,670 --> 00:08:15,030
I own it, Donald.
70
00:08:20,430 --> 00:08:23,750
Get help and move the rest of those
parked cars off the street. There's more
71
00:08:23,750 --> 00:08:25,290
fire equipment coming in. Yes, sir.
72
00:08:26,090 --> 00:08:30,670
Are you sending homicide lieutenants out
chasing fires now? And they promoted
73
00:08:30,670 --> 00:08:32,350
you to the fire department arson unit.
74
00:08:32,630 --> 00:08:33,750
No homicide, Johnny.
75
00:08:34,490 --> 00:08:37,230
Before they are in this tortuous place,
you sold the manager.
76
00:08:37,570 --> 00:08:38,789
And it's a pretty bad check.
77
00:08:39,909 --> 00:08:40,909
I think you know.
78
00:08:41,750 --> 00:08:43,309
Art and end the chance of murder.
79
00:08:44,030 --> 00:08:46,570
You may get ourselves one sweet honey in
the story.
80
00:09:19,790 --> 00:09:23,170
It has now been firmly established that
the burning of the warehouse was arson,
81
00:09:23,290 --> 00:09:27,570
to which yours truly, Tommy Town, adds,
criminally deliberate arson.
82
00:09:27,890 --> 00:09:29,930
Why do I say criminal arson?
83
00:09:30,310 --> 00:09:33,130
Facts, ladies and gentlemen,
indisputable facts.
84
00:09:33,970 --> 00:09:36,070
Another Town in Angel Town exclusive.
85
00:09:37,010 --> 00:09:41,790
The downtown transfer and storage
warehouse was in serious trouble. Not
86
00:09:41,790 --> 00:09:46,110
the company losing money, but its
records, I am reliably informed, had
87
00:09:46,110 --> 00:09:48,710
subpoenaed by the fraud section of the
tax department.
88
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:55,280
And, and ladies and gentlemen, the
warehouse itself had been threatened
89
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,820
the month with cancellation of its fire
insurance.
90
00:09:58,520 --> 00:09:59,680
Still more facts.
91
00:10:00,500 --> 00:10:04,720
The automobile in which the gasoline,
the cotton waste, and the alleged
92
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:09,980
incendiary's gloves were found, hold on,
that automobile was registered in the
93
00:10:09,980 --> 00:10:13,580
name of the identical man who is the
sole owner of the warehouse company.
94
00:10:14,090 --> 00:10:17,350
His name, former Deputy Fire Chief Cary
York.
95
00:10:18,070 --> 00:10:19,070
What's so funny?
96
00:10:19,870 --> 00:10:21,190
Dead and buried.
97
00:10:22,370 --> 00:10:25,010
You want to bet where I'm going they got
plenty of firemen?
98
00:10:25,210 --> 00:10:26,210
We need a refill.
99
00:10:26,610 --> 00:10:30,270
We need something more than that. If we
mess around in court, we're going to
100
00:10:30,270 --> 00:10:31,270
need a good lawyer.
101
00:10:31,730 --> 00:10:33,550
He's meeting us at headquarters in the
morning.
102
00:10:33,750 --> 00:10:34,750
The best.
103
00:10:35,110 --> 00:10:36,110
Perry Mason.
104
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,580
This is an accurate transcript of the
telecast?
105
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,200
The TV station showed us the tape.
106
00:10:47,420 --> 00:10:49,240
We had a court stenographer make that
transcript.
107
00:10:50,060 --> 00:10:53,540
We need a copy of the film itself as
evidence in court. I'll arrange for it.
108
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,380
Sounds like you think we might have a
case, Mr. Mason.
109
00:10:56,940 --> 00:10:59,720
Yes, we complete a good case just as
they complete a good defense.
110
00:11:00,540 --> 00:11:01,540
Defense?
111
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:06,020
Fair comment in the public interest.
Fair comment, my foot. Town lost his
112
00:11:06,020 --> 00:11:08,760
in a hillside brush fire six months
before I retired.
113
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:10,220
I was in command at the fire.
114
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:11,640
He blames you?
115
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:16,640
We never had a chance to save it. Almost
gale force, Santana winds, one road in,
116
00:11:16,780 --> 00:11:21,380
water pressure down. Even the Borade
bombers couldn't get at it. It was a
117
00:11:21,380 --> 00:11:22,940
gosling before we got there.
118
00:11:24,340 --> 00:11:27,520
We did the best we could anyway. Almost
lost a man.
119
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:30,740
But town blames the department.
120
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:32,920
Yeah, and me especially.
121
00:11:33,380 --> 00:11:35,540
There's still the defense that what he
said was true.
122
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:40,860
True? The truth of a defamatory
statement, Mr. York, is a complete
123
00:11:40,860 --> 00:11:41,860
action for slander.
124
00:11:42,190 --> 00:11:44,510
Perry, firemen have to live together.
125
00:11:45,330 --> 00:11:47,950
They have to learn to know and trust
each other.
126
00:11:48,730 --> 00:11:51,410
Know they can depend on each other for
their safety and their lives.
127
00:11:52,970 --> 00:11:55,650
I worked in the department for 30 years
with Kerry York.
128
00:11:56,570 --> 00:11:57,870
I'll stake my life on it.
129
00:11:59,030 --> 00:12:00,410
He never set that fire.
130
00:12:00,710 --> 00:12:01,710
Did you, Mr. York?
131
00:12:02,610 --> 00:12:03,790
Did you set that fire?
132
00:12:04,430 --> 00:12:05,430
No.
133
00:12:06,610 --> 00:12:09,110
Everything town said was a lie.
134
00:12:09,870 --> 00:12:10,870
All right.
135
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:12,680
We'll make sure of that.
136
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,920
Then we'll serve town with a demand that
he broadcast a public retraction of his
137
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:18,920
charge of arson.
138
00:12:22,740 --> 00:12:23,740
Moorfield.
139
00:12:28,340 --> 00:12:29,340
Thank you.
140
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,060
A charge of arson and murder.
141
00:12:35,420 --> 00:12:37,020
What are you talking about?
142
00:12:37,740 --> 00:12:39,160
That was the hospital, Kerry.
143
00:12:39,870 --> 00:12:41,590
Otto Joseph, your warehouse manager.
144
00:12:42,910 --> 00:12:43,910
He just died.
145
00:12:49,150 --> 00:12:51,670
But somebody was guilty of murder and
arson both.
146
00:12:52,090 --> 00:12:55,210
And if it wasn't Kerry York, then who
was Mr. Drake?
147
00:12:55,790 --> 00:12:58,270
Find out why, Gertie. Then you find out
who.
148
00:12:58,750 --> 00:12:59,750
Well.
149
00:13:01,790 --> 00:13:04,810
Did you get a list of everything in the
warehouse from York's accountant, Paul?
150
00:13:05,030 --> 00:13:06,390
Yep. Here's every last item.
151
00:13:07,690 --> 00:13:11,670
You know, if the arson wasn't aimed at
the warehouse, perhaps it was aimed at
152
00:13:11,670 --> 00:13:13,250
something inside the warehouse.
153
00:13:13,730 --> 00:13:17,150
Check out each item carefully with the
accountant, then run them down.
154
00:13:17,610 --> 00:13:18,770
That will be a pleasure.
155
00:13:20,970 --> 00:13:22,570
S. Quinn, accountant.
156
00:13:23,710 --> 00:13:28,650
From your tone, I gather S doesn't stand
for Saul or Scott or Stanley.
157
00:13:29,530 --> 00:13:30,990
Sylvia, and she's quite a doll.
158
00:13:31,270 --> 00:13:32,570
And Dorian's a lucky guy.
159
00:13:32,830 --> 00:13:34,250
Dorian York, Terry York's son?
160
00:13:34,630 --> 00:13:35,870
She's his bookkeeper, too.
161
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,380
And she'd love to take care of Dorian as
well as his book.
162
00:13:38,660 --> 00:13:39,660
What does he do?
163
00:13:39,780 --> 00:13:41,020
He owns a small factory.
164
00:13:41,220 --> 00:13:43,420
Eats out a living manufacturing
potentiometers.
165
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,180
Pot... poten... what?
166
00:13:46,060 --> 00:13:49,180
Potentiometers. That's a gimmick for
figuring potential differential.
167
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:50,960
Now I know.
168
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,440
It's a sensitive measuring device,
Gertie. Normally used as a component of
169
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,260
large, complicated electronic equipment.
170
00:13:59,020 --> 00:14:00,160
That helps, too.
171
00:14:00,820 --> 00:14:04,120
Have some copies made of these, would
you please, Gertie? Oh, certainly, Mr.
172
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:05,160
Mason.
173
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:08,080
Oh, I'm sorry.
174
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:13,640
Will you kindly explain to me exactly
what that communication is?
175
00:14:15,500 --> 00:14:19,640
Since I represent Kerry York in the
prospective litigation, it would not be
176
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,760
ethical for us to discuss it, Mr. Towne.
177
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,060
You might ask your own attorney.
178
00:14:24,340 --> 00:14:27,980
I'm asking you, Mason, you, and I want
an answer. You'll get one.
179
00:14:28,500 --> 00:14:30,120
One year with counsel, not before.
180
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:34,360
Well, that's up to me, isn't it? I don't
want one, and I don't need a lawyer to
181
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:35,920
answer something as ridiculous as this.
182
00:14:36,380 --> 00:14:39,620
If that's your decision, any competent
attorney will warn you that you're
183
00:14:39,620 --> 00:14:40,620
a serious mistake.
184
00:14:40,860 --> 00:14:42,560
You lawyers make me sick.
185
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:45,320
Demand an immediate retraction?
186
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,080
Tell me, Counselor, how do you correct
the truth?
187
00:14:48,380 --> 00:14:49,380
Was it the truth?
188
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,160
Oh, come off it. York was all but caught
lighting the match.
189
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:56,940
You slanderously alleged he was guilty
of arson. And of murder, too. Don't
190
00:14:56,940 --> 00:14:57,940
forget that.
191
00:14:58,540 --> 00:15:01,380
And all to collect insurance and burn
his records.
192
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:02,600
Now, how do you get out of that?
193
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:07,600
Paul? According to Sylvia Gwynn, Terry
York's accountant, the insurance you say
194
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,380
he wanted to collect lapsed a week
before the fire.
195
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:15,680
What? And as for the burned records, an
authenticated duplicate set is on file
196
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:16,680
in Ms. Gwynn's office.
197
00:15:17,420 --> 00:15:19,400
Civil Code Section 48A.
198
00:15:20,100 --> 00:15:24,320
If a correction is not broadcast within
three weeks after service of demand, the
199
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,180
plaintiff may recover not only special
but general damages.
200
00:15:27,580 --> 00:15:29,980
And he may also recover punitive
damages.
201
00:15:31,050 --> 00:15:34,250
Well, how about the gasoline and the
cotton and the gloves? How do you
202
00:15:34,250 --> 00:15:36,950
them? I don't. You explain them.
203
00:15:37,630 --> 00:15:38,970
Yours is the burden of proof.
204
00:15:39,750 --> 00:15:43,610
That they were carry orcs? That he used
them? And if I don't? If you neither
205
00:15:43,610 --> 00:15:48,790
retract nor prove your defense, Mr.
Towne, the jury will be asked to award
206
00:15:48,790 --> 00:15:51,430
damages totaling one and one -half
million dollars.
207
00:16:03,820 --> 00:16:05,300
Mr. Drake, this is Ross Walker.
208
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:09,440
He owns San Pedro Shipping, the company
that stored over half the materials in
209
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:10,279
the warehouse.
210
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:11,500
Thanks for meeting us here, Mr. Walker.
211
00:16:11,740 --> 00:16:14,440
I thought we might be able to identify
some of the debris.
212
00:16:14,940 --> 00:16:15,940
I doubt it.
213
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,980
Sylvia said when she called that you
wanted to go over a list of what I had
214
00:16:19,980 --> 00:16:23,340
here. I didn't know it was customary for
truckers to store cargo that was en
215
00:16:23,340 --> 00:16:24,360
route. It isn't.
216
00:16:24,860 --> 00:16:27,900
Normally what wasn't on the road would
be in my own warehouse down in San
217
00:16:28,540 --> 00:16:29,600
The business has been good.
218
00:16:29,940 --> 00:16:30,940
Better than good.
219
00:16:31,210 --> 00:16:35,410
I've had to use the Pedro warehouse for
more office space and for overseas
220
00:16:35,410 --> 00:16:36,590
shipments prior to loading.
221
00:16:37,030 --> 00:16:40,450
Mr. Walker carried his own insurance.
His total loss was covered.
222
00:16:41,570 --> 00:16:43,890
Overseas? Then you have both trucks and
ships.
223
00:16:44,590 --> 00:16:48,010
A couple of tired World War II scouts,
hardly a fleet.
224
00:16:48,470 --> 00:16:51,530
Look, Drake, I'm busy. Mind if we get
rebellious? Sure.
225
00:16:51,810 --> 00:16:55,190
As a shipper, I know that you didn't own
any of this merchandise, but I'd kind
226
00:16:55,190 --> 00:16:56,190
of like to find out who did.
227
00:16:56,970 --> 00:16:58,830
Let's start with this medicinal alcohol.
228
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,500
Chief? Barry, this is Captain Hillman.
229
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,940
Fifteen years on these fireboats, ten
years before that when the art was
230
00:17:36,940 --> 00:17:40,240
downtown. He's forgotten more about
incendiaries than most men know.
231
00:17:40,620 --> 00:17:41,620
Bill, this is Barry Mason.
232
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,020
Captain Hillman, pleasure to meet you.
233
00:17:43,460 --> 00:17:47,580
She thinks you may be the man to help
me. Not if you expect me to say Cary
234
00:17:47,580 --> 00:17:48,580
could be an arsonist.
235
00:17:49,060 --> 00:17:51,280
Anybody fingering him as a torch ought
to have his head examined.
236
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,420
Suggestions have been made that that's
what should be done to York.
237
00:17:54,740 --> 00:17:56,280
Look for signs of pyromania.
238
00:17:56,740 --> 00:17:57,740
Waste of time.
239
00:17:57,980 --> 00:17:59,140
You'd have spotted it years ago.
240
00:17:59,920 --> 00:18:00,659
You seem sure.
241
00:18:00,660 --> 00:18:05,500
Mr. Mason, only a small percentage of
the male population who can qualify as
242
00:18:05,500 --> 00:18:09,580
firemen for this department ever pass
the rigorous examinations, physical or
243
00:18:09,580 --> 00:18:13,900
mental. On the rawest recruit to the
oldest timer, like Kerry, every man is
244
00:18:13,900 --> 00:18:16,760
subjected to continuous training,
continuous examination.
245
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:21,720
You think for a minute, Mason, that an
incipient firebug, a man with any kind
246
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:25,300
a mental twist, could last for 50 years,
let alone become deputy chief?
247
00:18:26,940 --> 00:18:29,180
You know the facts about the warehouse
fire?
248
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,200
Arson, no question of it.
249
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:36,260
Can you tell from the type of fire, how
it was started, what the arsonist was
250
00:18:36,260 --> 00:18:37,260
trying to destroy?
251
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,360
Much more than books and papers, that's
for sure.
252
00:18:40,180 --> 00:18:41,180
Why do you say that?
253
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:43,220
Those crates of medicinal alcohol.
254
00:18:43,940 --> 00:18:46,120
Torch that and in half a minute you have
an inferno.
255
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:48,480
Enough intense heat to melt most metals.
256
00:18:48,700 --> 00:18:52,160
There was something in that warehouse
made of metal that the arsonist
257
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,760
deliberately wanted to destroy. That,
Mr. Mason, is my educated guess.
258
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:58,160
Well, that does it.
259
00:18:58,430 --> 00:19:02,370
One more thing. This item here marked
Coilatron. What is it? Some kind of an
260
00:19:02,370 --> 00:19:03,650
expensive manufacturing machine.
261
00:19:03,990 --> 00:19:05,010
Latest thing on the market.
262
00:19:05,230 --> 00:19:08,990
It winds coils for a thing called a
potentiometer.
263
00:19:09,750 --> 00:19:10,750
Potentiometer?
264
00:19:11,490 --> 00:19:12,490
No.
265
00:19:14,650 --> 00:19:19,110
Here's a photograph of the Coilatron
potentiometer coil winding machine that
266
00:19:19,110 --> 00:19:19,969
asked about.
267
00:19:19,970 --> 00:19:22,390
That machine runs about $50 ,000.
268
00:19:23,130 --> 00:19:27,290
It's a continuous, high -speed,
extremely precise, self -correcting
269
00:19:27,660 --> 00:19:28,800
More than pays for itself.
270
00:19:29,620 --> 00:19:32,660
Improved accuracy with better costs
through higher yields.
271
00:19:32,940 --> 00:19:36,720
At least that's what my brochure
promises and what the machine delivers.
272
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,480
Are many of these made, Mr. Herbert?
273
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:41,780
No, the market's pretty limited.
274
00:19:42,340 --> 00:19:47,320
Outside of the Iron Curtain, I'd say a
potential of approximately 25 machines.
275
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:49,420
Then it's not exactly a secret weapon.
276
00:19:49,780 --> 00:19:50,800
No, Mr. Drake.
277
00:19:51,060 --> 00:19:55,260
But it does represent automated high
-precision electronics methods.
278
00:19:55,870 --> 00:19:59,070
And industrial know -how can be just as
vital as the latest ICBM.
279
00:19:59,310 --> 00:20:02,490
Did Dorian York have one, or had he
ordered one of these machines?
280
00:20:03,450 --> 00:20:04,450
Unfortunately, no.
281
00:20:04,610 --> 00:20:05,610
Why unfortunately?
282
00:20:06,070 --> 00:20:09,870
Well, you see, with this machine...
Portable TV set right here in the
283
00:20:09,870 --> 00:20:12,530
just for the three of us. In case we
wanted to talk after the broadcast.
284
00:20:13,010 --> 00:20:14,010
Want a cup of coffee?
285
00:20:14,370 --> 00:20:15,370
No, thanks.
286
00:20:15,390 --> 00:20:19,190
He said on the phone that this is the
last day.
287
00:20:19,790 --> 00:20:22,710
Three weeks exactly after being served
in demand for correction.
288
00:20:23,630 --> 00:20:26,240
Really? Risk a million and a half dollar
lawsuit?
289
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:28,760
I'm an attorney, not a soothsayer.
290
00:20:29,340 --> 00:20:32,620
I'd say it depends on what town thinks
he found out. What his attorney or the
291
00:20:32,620 --> 00:20:36,120
station's attorneys have advised him.
What town thinks he found out?
292
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,140
What is there to find out? Kerry said
he'd meet us here.
293
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:40,779
Where is he?
294
00:20:40,780 --> 00:20:44,140
Oh, I don't know. He phoned about an
hour ago, said he was leaving for here
295
00:20:44,140 --> 00:20:45,900
then. He doesn't live that far away.
296
00:20:46,120 --> 00:20:48,440
Well, it's slow driving if he comes all
the way on Mulholland.
297
00:20:49,340 --> 00:20:52,240
Perry, you were telling me something
about what town thinks he found.
298
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:53,160
Ladies
299
00:20:53,160 --> 00:21:01,240
and
300
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:05,100
gentlemen, some time ago on this program
I asked a question.
301
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:10,440
A question that implied a charge on my
part that former Deputy Fire Chief Cary
302
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:15,040
York was a criminal arsonist. And as it
turned out, by implication, a murderer.
303
00:21:15,620 --> 00:21:19,440
Subsequently, I was informed that this
broadcast constituted slanderous
304
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:23,560
defamation of character, and a demand
was made that I broadcast a retraction.
305
00:21:24,360 --> 00:21:27,440
I'm happy to take this occasion to make
a correction.
306
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:32,920
When I said that Cary York started that
fire to collect insurance on his
307
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,200
warehouse and also to destroy company
records, I was wrong.
308
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,180
Very wrong, ladies and gentlemen.
309
00:21:38,730 --> 00:21:43,550
Cary York criminally, deliberately
started that fire to save his son's
310
00:21:43,550 --> 00:21:45,890
from bankruptcy, and I can prove it.
311
00:21:46,770 --> 00:21:47,790
Chelsea Rodman.
312
00:21:51,110 --> 00:21:52,110
My signal.
313
00:21:54,790 --> 00:21:55,790
Platoon Commander.
314
00:22:09,130 --> 00:22:10,130
What is it, Carl?
315
00:22:10,650 --> 00:22:11,650
A car.
316
00:22:12,650 --> 00:22:13,770
Turned on Mulholland.
317
00:22:15,210 --> 00:22:16,210
Went over a cliff.
318
00:22:17,430 --> 00:22:19,890
Smashed to bits on the rocks 100 feet
below.
319
00:22:20,370 --> 00:22:22,590
Rescue squad's there now, bringing up
the body.
320
00:22:25,830 --> 00:22:26,850
Kerry York's car.
321
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,300
You just heard him. I saw him on TV.
322
00:23:07,580 --> 00:23:08,580
No, you didn't.
323
00:23:09,060 --> 00:23:12,360
What you saw was filmed early this
afternoon, then played back tonight.
324
00:23:13,340 --> 00:23:14,740
Townsman dead for over half an hour.
325
00:23:15,460 --> 00:23:17,740
Strangled to death before the car was
pushed over the cliff.
326
00:23:19,180 --> 00:23:21,060
Andy, I'm afraid so, Perry.
327
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:22,800
Perry.
328
00:23:26,820 --> 00:23:29,960
He's under arrest for the murder of
Thomas Towne.
329
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:37,879
The cliff.
330
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:39,520
Not a very pretty picture, Terry.
331
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:42,560
Who, Mr. Mason?
332
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,260
Who torched my warehouse?
333
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,240
Killed my manager, Otto Joseph?
334
00:23:49,660 --> 00:23:50,820
Who killed town?
335
00:23:51,540 --> 00:23:55,080
Among other things, that who was most
likely somebody with a key to the side
336
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:56,080
door of your warehouse.
337
00:23:56,380 --> 00:23:57,380
What?
338
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,560
Otto and I had the only two keys, and
that was a special lock.
339
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:03,460
Did you ever have a duplicate key made?
340
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,060
No. Did Otto?
341
00:24:05,740 --> 00:24:07,280
I don't think so, no.
342
00:24:08,780 --> 00:24:10,580
Elaine would know, though, for sure.
343
00:24:11,020 --> 00:24:14,200
Otto Joseph's daughter, Elaine Joseph.
344
00:24:15,420 --> 00:24:18,060
Yes, Papa had a spare key made.
345
00:24:19,780 --> 00:24:22,040
He asked me to have it made for him.
346
00:24:22,580 --> 00:24:25,500
The... How do you call it?
347
00:24:26,300 --> 00:24:27,500
The locksmith.
348
00:24:28,820 --> 00:24:30,540
The spare key, Miss Joseph.
349
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,880
Now, was that spare key for your father
personally?
350
00:24:34,410 --> 00:24:36,230
Or was it for somebody else?
351
00:24:37,630 --> 00:24:38,950
Papa didn't tell me.
352
00:24:40,330 --> 00:24:42,470
So many things he didn't tell me.
353
00:24:42,770 --> 00:24:46,650
Some sort of special trouble he might
have been in.
354
00:24:47,950 --> 00:24:51,230
Could that have been part of the things
he didn't tell you? No, Mr. Mason.
355
00:24:51,550 --> 00:24:56,250
It's what sits on his heart so heavily
for so many years.
356
00:24:56,950 --> 00:24:58,090
And what was that?
357
00:24:58,730 --> 00:24:59,730
Mama.
358
00:25:00,330 --> 00:25:01,990
Mama back in the old country.
359
00:25:02,470 --> 00:25:03,650
Your mother still alive?
360
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:05,520
Everything was ready.
361
00:25:05,780 --> 00:25:12,220
He had planned for so long to escape, to
leave that country which
362
00:25:12,220 --> 00:25:14,980
no longer was the country we loved.
363
00:25:15,340 --> 00:25:18,820
Mama, I remember always she was so sick.
364
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:24,140
And that night when we were to go, she
was again sick.
365
00:25:24,460 --> 00:25:27,800
You didn't change your plans except that
your mother stayed.
366
00:25:28,140 --> 00:25:29,740
It's hard to remember.
367
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:33,240
Only that she...
368
00:25:34,580 --> 00:25:35,580
Cried.
369
00:25:36,700 --> 00:25:39,360
For the little one, there must be hope.
370
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:42,480
Papa cried.
371
00:25:43,380 --> 00:25:44,540
I remember that.
372
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:49,600
And then Mama wasn't there.
373
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:51,740
You heard from her afterwards?
374
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,740
Yes. And then you didn't hear?
375
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:57,200
Do you know?
376
00:25:57,760 --> 00:25:58,760
No.
377
00:25:59,500 --> 00:26:00,960
Only guessing, Miss Joseph.
378
00:26:02,420 --> 00:26:03,680
It's a familiar pattern.
379
00:26:05,199 --> 00:26:06,480
International blackmail.
380
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:08,380
Papa paid and paid.
381
00:26:09,260 --> 00:26:13,080
Every penny we could save, we could
borrow, we could find.
382
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,340
The books, Mr. Mason.
383
00:26:17,180 --> 00:26:18,600
Mr. York's books.
384
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,720
Your father tampered with the books?
385
00:26:22,140 --> 00:26:24,480
No, he didn't tamper. He stole.
386
00:26:25,180 --> 00:26:30,980
So that Mama would... We were both so
desperate, Mr. Mason.
387
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:33,239
That Mr.
388
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:34,240
York is a good man.
389
00:26:35,260 --> 00:26:37,360
He's a man with God's love in his heart.
390
00:26:37,660 --> 00:26:42,020
Mr. Mason, I will do anything to help
Mr.
391
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,580
York. You already have, Miss Joseph.
392
00:26:45,260 --> 00:26:49,080
You've given me information that could
lead to the name of the person guilty of
393
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,620
the crimes Carrie York will be charged
with in court tomorrow.
394
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,860
Everyone please rise and face the flag
of our country.
395
00:27:16,260 --> 00:27:20,520
Recognizing the principles for which it
stands, Division 3 of the Municipal
396
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:24,600
Court of the County of Los Angeles,
State of California is now in session.
397
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,600
The Honorable Benjamin Penna, Judge
presiding.
398
00:27:32,740 --> 00:27:34,940
Be seated and come to order.
399
00:27:39,210 --> 00:27:40,750
The state versus Cary York.
400
00:27:41,470 --> 00:27:43,010
Is counsel for the state present?
401
00:27:43,550 --> 00:27:44,550
Present, Your Honor.
402
00:27:45,550 --> 00:27:46,550
Counsel for the defense?
403
00:27:47,730 --> 00:27:48,730
Present, Your Honor.
404
00:27:48,990 --> 00:27:54,710
Section 738 of the penal code provides
that before an information is filed,
405
00:27:54,930 --> 00:27:59,290
there must be a preliminary examination
of the case against the defendant and an
406
00:27:59,290 --> 00:28:04,150
order holding him to answer, made under
Section 872. Will the defendant rise?
407
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,920
The clerk of the court will read the
complaint to the defendant and ask him
408
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:14,100
whether he pleads guilty or not guilty
to the offense charged therein and to a
409
00:28:14,100 --> 00:28:16,760
previous conviction or convictions of
crime if charged.
410
00:28:17,100 --> 00:28:21,440
Your Honor, the penal code provides that
a defendant represented by counsel may,
411
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,920
when brought before the magistrate,
waive his right to an examination before
412
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:25,920
such magistrate.
413
00:28:26,300 --> 00:28:29,640
The defendant, Kerry York, through
counsel, does so expressly waive.
414
00:28:29,900 --> 00:28:31,260
With a plea of guilty, Mr. Mason?
415
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:33,280
No, Your Honor, without a plea of
guilty.
416
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:34,720
Mr. Berger.
417
00:28:34,970 --> 00:28:38,810
There is nothing in 860 which prevents
the district attorney or the magistrate
418
00:28:38,810 --> 00:28:40,950
from requiring the examination be held.
419
00:28:41,750 --> 00:28:45,950
The prosecution is happy to stipulate to
the waiver of examination, Your Honor.
420
00:28:46,890 --> 00:28:50,630
It appearing to me that the offense of
murder in the within complaint mentioned
421
00:28:50,630 --> 00:28:55,130
has been committed, and that there is
sufficient cause to believe the within
422
00:28:55,130 --> 00:28:56,970
named Kerry York guilty thereof.
423
00:28:57,650 --> 00:29:00,110
I order that he be held to answer the
same.
424
00:29:00,750 --> 00:29:03,950
The record will show examination waived
by request of the defense.
425
00:29:05,110 --> 00:29:07,790
Defendant is bound over for trial in
Superior Court.
426
00:29:08,290 --> 00:29:09,630
This court is adjourned.
427
00:29:17,390 --> 00:29:19,370
Well, what's going on, Perry?
428
00:29:19,690 --> 00:29:24,090
I expected a real struggle to get York
bound over. Saving the taxpayers' money.
429
00:29:24,290 --> 00:29:25,830
A contribution to economy.
430
00:29:26,130 --> 00:29:27,130
Sure it is.
431
00:29:27,530 --> 00:29:31,310
Or it's a stall to give you time to pull
some kind of a grandstand stunt.
432
00:29:31,910 --> 00:29:33,870
I warn you, Perry, if you do...
433
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:36,660
What are you figuring to do?
434
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,960
The play's the thing wherein I'll catch
the conscience of the king.
435
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:43,200
Uh -huh.
436
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:44,420
You feeling all right?
437
00:29:45,380 --> 00:29:49,900
King was also a murderer, Hamilton, who
took the bait and fell in the trap.
438
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:52,040
Thanks a lot.
439
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,360
Exactly how far would you go to help
carry York?
440
00:30:06,900 --> 00:30:08,000
Personally, there's no limit.
441
00:30:08,340 --> 00:30:09,340
Just name it.
442
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:10,680
And the department?
443
00:30:13,340 --> 00:30:18,920
Harry, Los Angeles has close to 500
square miles to cover, to protect.
444
00:30:19,460 --> 00:30:21,620
A third of it's brush -covered.
Fireman's nightmare.
445
00:30:22,580 --> 00:30:23,880
The rest, you name it.
446
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:29,160
Exotic fuels for defense, every
conceivable industry, the harbor, every
447
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:30,240
fire hazard you could think of.
448
00:30:32,350 --> 00:30:34,150
You haven't answered my question.
449
00:30:34,410 --> 00:30:35,410
Now, look, Perry.
450
00:30:35,530 --> 00:30:39,210
Every man in the department hit the
bricks, house to house, pleading,
451
00:30:39,270 --> 00:30:43,070
explaining. They got a $14 .5 million
fire bond issue on the belt.
452
00:30:43,330 --> 00:30:45,250
It got on. It got passed.
453
00:30:45,570 --> 00:30:46,570
I know.
454
00:30:46,970 --> 00:30:48,730
You were given a real vote of
confidence.
455
00:30:49,130 --> 00:30:51,010
But my question... Some pans underwater.
456
00:30:52,390 --> 00:30:53,510
On your way, Gertie.
457
00:30:54,650 --> 00:30:56,370
Well, Mr. Mason, where are you going?
458
00:30:58,150 --> 00:31:00,070
Oh, to make arrangements to start a
fire.
459
00:31:17,969 --> 00:31:19,210
Underwater. Looking for something?
460
00:31:22,930 --> 00:31:26,550
I don't know why I agreed to meet you or
why I agreed to meet you here.
461
00:31:26,970 --> 00:31:27,970
I do.
462
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:32,460
The so -called irresistible urge of the
criminal to return to the scene in the
463
00:31:32,460 --> 00:31:33,460
crime.
464
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:34,960
Your bookkeeping that bad?
465
00:31:35,380 --> 00:31:37,300
No, but my judgment often is.
466
00:31:37,540 --> 00:31:41,020
You mean in not reporting the fact that
Otto Joseph was stealing from Carrie
467
00:31:41,020 --> 00:31:42,020
York?
468
00:31:43,100 --> 00:31:46,620
Just hearing it said out loud somehow
makes me feel better.
469
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,000
You still haven't told me why you asked
me to come here.
470
00:31:50,860 --> 00:31:53,960
Well, I have a feeling that if you look
real hard...
471
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:58,800
You just might find a sealed envelope
that somehow, miraculously, didn't get
472
00:31:58,800 --> 00:31:59,800
burned in the fire.
473
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:00,840
And then?
474
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:05,380
Then, at exactly 8 o 'clock tonight, not
a moment earlier, you open it and read
475
00:32:05,380 --> 00:32:06,380
what's inside it.
476
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:11,280
Now, couldn't you have just handed me
that envelope and some nice, cozy little
477
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:12,280
cocktail down?
478
00:32:12,420 --> 00:32:15,260
But that one of you... Good luck.
479
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:54,060
Mr. Mason, come on in.
480
00:32:55,380 --> 00:32:56,359
Sit down.
481
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:57,360
Thank you.
482
00:32:57,540 --> 00:32:58,780
I followed your instructions.
483
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:00,280
The place is empty.
484
00:33:00,620 --> 00:33:02,880
Oh, except for the usual security guards
at the gate.
485
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:04,520
That's good, Mr. Walker.
486
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:08,460
Well, maybe I can decide that for myself
if you were to tell me what this is all
487
00:33:08,460 --> 00:33:12,100
about. Mr. Walker, why does an arsonist
set a fire?
488
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:13,560
Why?
489
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:15,380
To burn down a building.
490
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:16,880
To get rid of it.
491
00:33:17,420 --> 00:33:19,140
To get rid of what's in it.
492
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:21,540
Or get rid of something not in it.
493
00:33:22,020 --> 00:33:25,580
Now, look, Mason, you didn't get me here
to kill an evening just to answer
494
00:33:25,580 --> 00:33:29,580
riddles. Otto Joseph was forced to make
a duplicate key to York's warehouse.
495
00:33:29,940 --> 00:33:31,980
Forced to turn that key over to another
person.
496
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:33,900
Well, that doesn't make any sense
either.
497
00:33:34,180 --> 00:33:37,020
How do you force a man to become an
accomplice to arson?
498
00:33:37,300 --> 00:33:40,020
Simply by threatening to have his wife
killed if he doesn't.
499
00:33:41,300 --> 00:33:42,880
I didn't know Otto had a wife.
500
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:45,980
According to the OSS, she died years
ago.
501
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:51,660
But the friends of mankind who run
Joseph's country these days decided to
502
00:33:51,660 --> 00:33:53,040
Otto think she was still alive.
503
00:33:54,060 --> 00:33:55,700
Why? To blackmail him.
504
00:33:56,540 --> 00:33:59,040
Keep him on the string just in case they
ever needed him.
505
00:33:59,460 --> 00:34:00,460
As they did.
506
00:34:00,700 --> 00:34:02,000
Needed him? For what?
507
00:34:02,220 --> 00:34:04,600
To smuggle a Coilatron out of this
country.
508
00:34:05,900 --> 00:34:08,480
You know, Mason, for a minute you had me
going there.
509
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:09,920
Come on now.
510
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:15,920
This Coilatron, whatchamacallit, you're
talking about was burned.
511
00:34:16,380 --> 00:34:17,739
Completely destroyed in that fire.
512
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:21,639
A substitute wooden crate with a dummy
metal frame inside was burned.
513
00:34:22,159 --> 00:34:26,060
That was the reason for the arson. To
look as if the Coilatron were destroyed.
514
00:34:26,540 --> 00:34:29,320
To keep anyone from even suspecting
where it was going.
515
00:34:29,620 --> 00:34:32,540
I suppose you know or think you know
where that is?
516
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,540
I do know a ship is due in Los Angeles
Harbor within an hour.
517
00:34:36,940 --> 00:34:39,199
A ship that will dock here at your
warehouse.
518
00:34:40,139 --> 00:34:44,120
A ship scheduled to stop at the free
port of Salina Cruz, where cargo can be
519
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:47,659
transhipped without anyone knowing or
caring where it's going.
520
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:51,179
Of all the crazy...
521
00:34:51,179 --> 00:34:57,780
I'll never know what happened.
522
00:34:58,220 --> 00:34:59,220
Outside.
523
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:00,680
Outside.
524
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:03,500
I'll be right behind you.
525
00:35:19,350 --> 00:35:20,350
It's on a dolly.
526
00:35:20,690 --> 00:35:21,690
Push it door to door.
527
00:35:57,990 --> 00:35:59,610
That's the biggest thrill of my life,
Dad.
528
00:35:59,870 --> 00:36:02,930
Well, then how about it? Yes, sir. From
now on, I'm a confirmed skin diver.
529
00:36:03,210 --> 00:36:04,210
What?
530
00:36:04,530 --> 00:36:08,630
A square peg, that's what you are, what
you'll always be, a square peg.
531
00:36:10,050 --> 00:36:11,210
I'm hungry. Let's eat.
