Pickman. Oh, yes, sir.

That stuff came in last night.

I think so.

I'll check it right away.

Yes, sir. I'll check it right away.
Right away.

Sergeant Ives will want to see this.

Looks like the stuff from the Jorgen
heist.

Nearly a hundred of these, Sergeant.
They're trademarked industrial machinery

and weighted down with lead.

Fenomenal furs.

Quality stuff.

Other labels, too. All the best stores
in town.

It's a regular clearinghouse.

Sergeant, look at this.

In your division, aren't they?

Yeah.

Officers Warren Hoxie and Vic Heinemann.

Looks like they've been on the take a
long time.

$2 .50 a week goes back nearly two
years.

Maybe almost as long as this series of
unsolved burglaries.

Dan? Yeah?

Marcus Fair was an old pal of yours,
huh?

Yeah.

Yeah, he was killed in the Jorgen heist.

He had a wife and a kid.

She works for Joe Mannix.

All he left behind was the Medal of
Valor.

Looks like they gave it to the wrong
man.

What's that supposed to mean?

He was on the tape.

Sorry, Sergeant.

His name's in the book, too.

Okay, Billy, no one's keeping you.

Anyway, I just said what I heard on the
radio.

What's the matter, Toby?

Did he say that O .J. Stinson was a
better player than Mike Garrett?

Toby, honey.

He said Daddy was a crooked cop.

Peggy, just because his name was on a
list doesn't prove anything.

Toby.

You know your father was a good cop,
don't you?

Oh, yes, sir. I know.

Or they wouldn't have given him this,
would they?

Medal of Valor.

That's really something, isn't it?

You only get it for a ga... gall...
Gallantry.

Above and beyond the call of duty.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Toby, you wash up for dinner now.

Okay, Mommy.

Hi, Dad.

Hi, Peg.

Peggy, this is Lieutenant Burdette.

Hello. May we come in?

Of course.

Joe. Oh, this is my boss, Mr. Mannix,
Lieutenant Burdette.

Hello, Lieutenant.

I'm sorry, Peg.

A search warrant?

What are you looking for?

Just what it says there.

Stolen furs and jewelry.

I'll take this room.

But my son's in there.

You better call him in here, then.

Well, there's no stolen property in the
boys' room, Lieutenant.

You can take my word for it.

I'm not interested in your word.

And I'd advise you just to keep out of
this, Mr. Mannix, huh?

Cool it, will you, Larry?

Now, we got a job to do.

You don't have to throw your weight
around to do it.

Well, the officers on the payoff list
got a little bonus.

Stolen furs and jewelry for their
girlfriends.

And you think Mark...

I haven't any furs.

And this is the only jewelry that I own.

May I see them? That's out, Larry. They
were married for over eight years.

Have you had those rings for eight
years, Mrs. Fair?

You don't have to say a word unless you
want to, Peggy.

Marcus couldn't afford to buy me an
engagement ring before we were married.

He gave this to me on our seventh
anniversary.

And when was that?

Two months before he was killed.

Well, you know where he bought it, don't
you, Peggy?

It was a surprise.

Now, if none of the merchants identify
this as stolen property, it'll be

returned to you.

Is this your room, Mrs. Farrow?

If you don't mind, I know where
everything is.

Well, yeah.

Might as well get this over with.

Now, Dan, there's nothing in this room
but the boys' clothes and toys. Look,

Joe, I don't like this any better than
you do.

Marcus was my friend, too.

We started on the force at the same
time. Yeah, I know, I know.

That buddy of yours, Burdette, he's got
all the charm of a tiger snake.

Yeah, well, Larry takes this thing very
personally.

He won't be satisfied until he pulls
this thing apart and spits the peepers

the garbage can.

Why take it out on Peggy?

Well, I suppose because the other two
guys weren't really locals. They were

transfers from Coronado Park.

Dan, what have they got against Marcus
besides his name being on that list?

One, all the robberies occurred in his
area.

His and Warren Hoxie's.

They were both assigned a patrol car,
A67.

Two, we've dug up witnesses who spotted
the car at the scene of two of the

robberies.

Apparently, Joe, they were standing
lookout for the burglars.

Wait a minute. Marcus was killed trying
to prevent that jewelry store burglary.

Not according to the man who killed him.

Donnelly? He was convicted and set up
for life.

Well, he's appealing.

He's claiming self -defense.

He claims Marcus wasn't acting as a
police officer.

Well, as what, then?

As an accomplice.

Sure, Marcus was my accomplice.

He was in on it all the way.

Why didn't you plead self -defense at
the first trial?

You're putting me on, man.

Who'd have taken my word against a dead
hero?

His unsupported word at that.

But it isn't unsupported now, Mr.
Mannix. There's corroboration at the

list. Exactly.

Clayton, tell Mr. Mannix precisely what
happened that night.

It was a real smooth operation.

Or at least we thought it was going to
be.

Man, you scared me half to death.

What are you doing in here anyway?

You're supposed to be outside keeping an
eye out.

Well, you guys lap up the real gravy,
huh?

He was half drunk.

Maybe he wouldn't have done what he did.

What have you got in your hand?

Unset diamonds.

But look, Marcus, you... And hard to
trace, huh?

I'll take them as my cut.

Look, you get yours and pay off.

Now get outside where you belong.

Okay, hand them over, Clay.

I was lucky, believe me.

He was too smashed to shoot the side of
a barn.

But you weren't, and you killed him.

Self -defense.

Your word against the dead man's right?

Right.

And some names and figures you call a
payoff list.

Well, that isn't all we've got against
Fair, Mr. Mannix. There's more.

What? A witness who actually saw him
accept a bribe.

From whom?

I'd rather not go into that just now.

Who's the witness?

My girl, Hattie Wills.

Please, Clay.

That's in confidence, Mr. Mannix.

There are other matters I want you to
concentrate on if you're going to work

us.

Sorry, but Sergeant Ives implied you
were available.

Ives was wrong.

I've already got a client.

Who?

Well, I don't think you'd know Mr.

Ogilvie.

He's only eight years old.

Thanks, Dick.

Hey, what are you doing here?

Thought I told you to take a couple days
off.

I had to come in, Joe.

Look, why don't you go home and relax
and let me handle this, huh?

I'm not a porcelain doll.

Okay?

Okay.

Donnelly says his girl actually saw
Marcus accept a bribe.

I don't believe it.

No. But if she's going to testify, she's
going to have to identify the man who

paid him the bribe. He must be the one
who put Marcus's name on a payoff list.

I'd like to know why.

Avery Pickman?

The manager of the warehouse?

Maybe.

The police think so.

Donnelly's girlfriend's name is Hattie
Wills. See if you can locate her.

Okay. Would you for me go see Warren
Hoxie, Marcus's old partner? I think

help us if he could.

Is he in custody?

No, just suspended.

He's at 614 Fifth, apartment 309.

Can't you let the dead rest in peace?

How about Marcus Fair, Hoxie?

Can he rest in peace?

I'm the living dead, friend.

He's the dead dead. They can't hurt him
anymore.

They can hurt his wife and kid.

I'm Joe Maddox.

Peggy Fair works for me.

What do you want?

You can help me.

Me? How?

I'd like to know how Marcus Fair's name
got on that list. It's all they've got

against him.

Well, that's all they've got against any
of them.

Is it?

I heard you and Heinemann wrapped some
furs around your girlfriends.

So we bought them off a street peddler.

Can you prove it?

Can they prove I didn't?

Is that the story you told Internal
Investigation?

I didn't give them any story.

On the advice of counsel, I took the
fifth.

I see.

You see what?

They can bust me off the force, but why
should I talk myself into prison?

You can't clear Marcus Fair without
incriminating yourself, is that it?

Maybe. Maybe not.

But what's a dead man's reputation worth
compared to seven years in the pen?

If Marcus is clean, I'm clean, and so is
Heinemann. Don't forget, we were all in

the same boat together.

What boat?

Patrol car A67.

I thought the letter A stood for a two
-man car.

It does.

Heinemann filled in on Thursday's off.

What are you doing here, Mannix?

Well, that's between me and my client,
Lieutenant.

You gonna get out of my way or do I walk
right through you?

You were here to see Warren Hoxie,
weren't you?

I'm trying to clear Marcus Fair. Any
objections?

The police can wash their own dirty
linen without your help.

Maybe I can furnish the soap.

Don't get smart with me, Mannix.

Technically, Lieutenant, that's assault.

You like to try for battery?

Hetty will.

Oh, look, Vic, are you giving me the
runaround by any chance?

Because of Marcus.

All right, all right, I take it back.

Thanks anyway, Vic.

Hmm.

What was that all about?

I was trying to find someone down at
headquarters to give us the lead on

locating Hetty Wills.

But all of a sudden, I'm an outsider.

It's not you, Peggy.

It's me.

Why you?

Well, forget it. Hey, what about that
license number?

Oh, I'm getting that.

At least Katie down in DMV still likes
me.

Oh, Dan.

Hi. Hey, Dan, what's up?

Not just a certain Lieutenant Standick.

Word of the wise, Joe.

Stay away from him.

You came all the way down here to tell
me that?

Well, I was in the neighborhood.

Let me have a cup of coffee.

Thanks, Joe.

I gotta go.

Dan, who was assigned to Car A -67 that
dates to the burglaries?

Marcus and Hoxie, I guess.

Not Heinemann and Hoxie?

I should have thought of it.

I just didn't think about Heinemann
being Hoxie's partner. He only filled in

occasionally.

Joe, you mean on the night of the
burglaries, if they occurred on Marcus's

off...

Which I suspect is what we'll find out.

Thanks, Dad.

Don't mind me. I choke up watching
commercials.

I'll check those dates, Joe.

Thanks, Dad.

Now, take it easy.

Good night, Mrs. Hackett, and thank you.

Hello, Mommy.

Hi, darling.

I didn't mean to wake you up. I like to
be waked up like that.

Did Mrs. Hackett give you dinner?

Then off to bed.

they take this back now? Of course not,
Toby.

Peggy, does this book mean anything to
you?

It's Marcus's day book.

I couldn't bring myself to look at it
after he was killed.

Look at this. Routine reports.

Investigations under progress.

Complaints answered.

And in the last four days, nothing but
numbers. Why?

I don't know.

Tell me, those last few days of his
life, what was Marcus's attitude?

Attitude? His state of mind.

Troubled. More troubled than I'd ever
seen him.

Honey, what's bothering you?

Nothing, Peg.

Come on, now. I know better than that.

You've been worried sick these past few
days.

Isn't it bad enough to be a policeman's
wife without having to put up with his

problems?

You concentrate on the loving. Leave the
worrying to me.

And he went back to his daybook.

Then later...

What's

wrong, honey?

Nothing. I have to go out for a while.

But you're off duty tonight.

Cops never off duty, honey.

Thank you.

One more for the road?

And that was the last night.

And earlier in the evening, he was
brooding over this book.

Yes.

Then, even though he was off duty,

He went out.

There's a connection.

He wasn't patrolling. I don't think he
just blundered onto that robbery. I

he knew it was going to happen.

Then he would have reported it.

What if he wasn't sure? What if he just
had a hunch? What if he suspected his

partner of being involved?

And Hoxie was, you know.

That would have torn Marcus up pretty
badly to inform on a fellow officer.

Yeah, particularly on a hunch.

Peggy Marcus was too good a cop not to
keep up his day book, and he did keep it

up, but in such a way that he wouldn't
hurt his friend if his hunch happened to

be wrong.

I think this is a code.

Elementary. Can he decode it?

Sure. How long did it take? A day,
maybe.

You know, I gotta admit, Bobby, I never
really believed those stories about you

being with G2.

You really were an intelligence officer.

If you saw my old uniform, you'd believe
it.

Shiny only in the seat of the pants.

Another case of the army putting a round
peg in a square hole, huh?

No, not so.

Musicians make great cryptologists.

They have a natural ear for it.

Say nothing of the eye.

What's this bit of code with its bars
and clefts, sharps and flats, majors and

minors? There's a call for you, Mr.
Mannix.

Thank you.

I'll get back to you.

Hello. Joe, I finally got it.

Eddie Wills lives at 5693 Peck Place.

How'd you manage it?

Markets had a lot of friends beside
policemen.

I spread the word and one of them just
got back to me.

Joe, when you see her, I want to go with
you.

Sure.

Eddie Wills?

My name is Joe Mannix. This is Peggy
Fair.

This is Marcus Fair.

Clay Donnelly says you saw Marcus Fair
paid off.

Who was the payoff man, Miss Welch?

Was it Avery Pickman?

Why don't you ask him?

Clay Donnelly said to ask you.

Look, I'm trying to spare this girl's
feelings.

I know what it's like to lose your man.

Now, Clay's got one foot in the gas
chamber. If you think I'm going to help

dragging his other foot, you're crazy.

Miss Wills, we're not here to hurt Clay
Donnelly.

But I don't want my son to grow up
thinking that his father was crooked.

What are you worried about?

The hunkies will whitewash your man
along with their own.

That's not true.

Charges are pending against them.

They'll pend for a long time.

Little cops don't get rich unless some
big wheel gets richer.

What big wheel never you mind But they
won't dig up any dirt They'll just sweep

it under the rug

His gun was empty.

How was I supposed to know that? I
yelled at you not to shoot.

You closed his mouth, Lieutenant.

And you closed it permanently.

And who's to blame, huh?

Now, we had that house under
surveillance.

We would have taken him alive if it
hadn't been for you. Mannix, I'm going

have your license for this.

License number ZRR380 is registered to a
man named Albert Jensen.

Two addresses and phone numbers.
Residence and business.

Try the business.

Right.

Martin Ogilvie, attorney at law.

It's Donnelly's lawyer.

Is this Mr. Ogilvie?

No, this is Albert Jensen, Mr. Ogilvie's
private secretary. Can I help you?

No, thank you. I'll call back later.

Now, why would Ogilvie's private
secretary be calling on Warren Hoxie?

Peggy, find out from Dan if the
handwriting in the payoff list is Avery

Pickman's.

And if it isn't?

Then the head of the burglary ring is
still alive and breathing.

Who? The man behind Ogilvy.

The man who gave him the money to defend
Donnelly.

I happen to know Donnelly's tapped out,
and Ogilvy isn't defending him out of

the goodness of his heart.

Bobby. Bobby. Joe, I'm sorry.

I tried to stall him, but he dragged me
over here.

Hand it over, Mannix.

Hand what over? You know what I'm
talking about.

Give it to him, Bobby.

I'm withholding evidence.

There'll be one more charge against you
at the hearing.

What hearing?

You're to appear before the Department
of Professional Licenses tomorrow at 5 o

'clock to show cause why yours shouldn't
be revoked.

I'll see you there.

How'd you find out?

I called the police academy to find out
if it was some kind of a stock police

code.

It isn't.

Well, I guess word got back to Burdette.

Well, that day book was our only lead.

Still is, pal.

I photographed every page.

That's the word that occurs most often.

And Marcus was investigating the
burglaries.

That's right.

You see how the code works?

Not quite.

I learned a long time ago that A is the
first letter in the alphabet and B is

the second.

But how can the same digit represent A
and U?

You've got to distinguish the sharps
from the flats, old boy.

Go on.

Well, you see, the digit 1 under the
letter A is a straight line.

The digit 1 under the letter U is a
straight line with a bar across the

making it represent 21, or the 21st
letter of the alphabet.

I see.

And the second digit 2 has a little
curlicue on top, and the number 2 under

letter B has none.

That's the idea.

Here's the first page to code it.

That's it. When can you get the rest of
it? Sometime this afternoon.

Hurry it up, will you, genius?

Joe, what if Hoxie suspected Marcus was
on his trail?

What if he had him set up for Clay
Donnelly?

Are you out of your mind, Mannix?

I wouldn't connive with a... Punk like
Donnelly. You're conniving with him

now. What are you talking about? How? By
letting him get away with a charge that

Marcus was his accomplice.

All right.

Donnelly was lying.

Have you let go of me?

So Marcus wasn't his accomplice.

No.

Can you prove it?

Sure I can. Then why haven't you?

Because I want to forget that night.

Forget that you were bought by the gang.

Everybody's going to know that anyway.

Look, haven't I told you enough already?
You can clear Marcus.

I've got to know it all.

I can't tell you anymore.

Why?

Because you killed Marcus?

Get off of that.

That's what you want to forget, isn't
it?

Isn't it?

No!

And I didn't.

That's what I want to forget.

Taken so long.

You're under arrest. On your feet with
your hands up.

I should have broken in right then and
sighted Marcus, but I couldn't move. I

froze.

I want you to tell Sergeant Ives what
you just told me. No!

No? No, I talk to my lawyer first.

If you interfere, Maddox, I'll clam up.

I want him with me when I surrender.

All right.

When? In an hour. He's coming here.

You'll call me afterwards?

I'll call you.

Let's give him a chance, Peggy.

He said an hour.

I still think you should have reported
that little incident outside the

building.

Hi, Dan. Hey, Joe.

Peg, I got some good news.

On the dates of all the burglaries,
Marcus was off duty.

Heinemann and Hoxley were assigned to
Car 67.

Thanks, Dan.

Who was responsible for the assignments?

They're watch officers, Lieutenant
Burdette. Why?

And another thing. The handwriting on
that payoff list was not Pickman's.

Maybe it was some guy whose initials are
L .B. Why?

I decoded the rest of the daybook.

What daybook?

Lieutenant Burdette took... Didn't he
tell you?

No.

What about L .B.?

Marcus suspected the payoff money was
given to just one cop who divided with

others. Who?

Not certain.

But Marcus also wrote that he overheard
Hoxie mention the name of the payoff

man. To him, it sounded like the
initials L .B.

That could be any one of a thousand
people.

I'll talk to the captain. I'm sure Larry
turned that book over to him.

And if he didn't?

Shouldn't we be hearing from Hoxie by
now?

If it'll make you feel better.

20 ,000 is all we could raise on such
short notice. Take it or leave it.

Okay, where?

You've been drinking?

I wanted to.

You forget you wanted to make it to the
lake?

Just double -check.

Machina Lake?

Look, Joe, you don't know what kind of
trouble you're going to run into up

there. Let me call Dan and...

Okay, but call me as soon as you can.

Howdy. You know this man?

It's Mr. Hoxie.

A real nice fella.

You know where I might find him?

It's important.

The place he usually counts is straight
across the lake.

The quickest way to get there is right
in one of my boats.

Thank you.

You bet.

Thank you.

Waiting for somebody, Hoxie?

Hoxie, you're a liar and a blackmailer.

And for once, you're going to start
talking straight.

Now, where do you think you're running
to?

To anywhere where they couldn't
extradite me.

Do you think I was going to stand still
for a jail sentence?

An ex -cop in a can with thieves and
killers? Have you any idea what that

be like?

And you figure your ex -employers would
finance this little jot or you'd blow

the whistle on them, huh? They got me
into this mess.

They owe me.

You got yourself in this mess, Hoxie.

You're a fool.

They tried to kill me and I only know
half of what you know.

Now let's go.

You're going to take me back?

What do you think?

I leveled with you, Mannix. I helped you
with fair. You owe me.

Everybody owes you, don't they, Hoxie?

Now let's go.

All right, this way.

You just can't keep your nose out of
things, can you, Mannix? How did you

Peggy told me.

Now, who's out there trying to blow your
head off, Mannix?

Not that I don't think it's a pretty
good idea.

Well, I'd say one of the men's name is
Elby.

Isn't that what you call him, Hoxie?

Albert Jensen.

Warren Ogilvie's secretary.

Well, we thought the man behind Ogilvie
was the one who organized all of these

burglaries.

But there was nobody behind him, just
Ogilvie.

Elby was the payoff man. He gave Hoxie
the money to divide with Heinemann and

Marcus. Hoxie knew he couldn't corrupt
Marcus, so he pocketed his share of the

money.

Ogilvy didn't know that, so he put
Marcus's name on the payoff list.

Hey, come walk to the right.

Are you in the infantry, Lieutenant?

Sure.

What else would a flatfoot be, huh?

Why don't you say we try a little double
-flanking maneuver?

Why not?

All right, I'll be turning around slowly
and drop the gun.

You okay?

Yeah.

Albie's dead.

Well, it wasn't too bad a double
-flanking attack, Joe.

Save your kind words for the hearing.

About my license.

Oh, there won't be a hearing.

The chief witness just decided not to
show up.

All right, let's go.

Toby up? Not yet.

Mommy, is someone at the door?

Hello, Toby.

I, uh, thought you might like to see
this.

Lieutenant Burdette gave me something to
give you.
