1
00:00:18,670 --> 00:00:23,430
Barnaby Jones, a Quinn Martin
production, starring Buddy Ebsen.
2
00:00:24,410 --> 00:00:30,550
Also starring Lee Merriweather, with
guest stars Larry Hagman,
3
00:00:30,690 --> 00:00:35,890
Bill Balance, Leslie Ackerman,
4
00:00:36,090 --> 00:00:40,410
special guest star Marsha Rod.
5
00:01:06,300 --> 00:01:08,280
Boy, I feel stuffed after that lunch.
6
00:01:08,281 --> 00:01:11,799
If I don't get out of this wheelchair
soon, Miss Hollister, I'm going to blow
7
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:12,850
like a balloon.
8
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,600
All I do is eat and sleep. I'm going to
talk to Dr.
9
00:01:15,601 --> 00:01:18,879
Rickers about that. I think it's time we
started you on a physical therapy
10
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,320
program. I bet I'd put on 10 pounds.
11
00:01:21,321 --> 00:01:25,359
Start you on a diet as soon as you're
strong enough. Be your old, slender self
12
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:26,410
in no time.
13
00:01:33,491 --> 00:01:40,119
I turned the speaker volume a little
low. Some of your neighbors may not
14
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,350
appreciate Mr. Bill Edwards' bedroom
humor.
15
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,980
Oh, he's not that bad. It's all fun.
16
00:01:45,460 --> 00:01:47,440
This is station KBEX.
17
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,870
Please stay tuned for the Bill Edwards
show.
18
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,530
You just give a holler. You need
anything. I'll be fixing myself some
19
00:01:54,340 --> 00:01:59,279
All right, now. Let me carefully
emphasize to my radio listeners now
20
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,650
that I've been expounding to 3 ,000
people seated out in front of me.
21
00:02:03,260 --> 00:02:04,310
Well, okay.
22
00:02:04,311 --> 00:02:08,388
Make that 11 people. including the cute
little red -headed captivator now casing
23
00:02:08,389 --> 00:02:13,569
my engineer so lovingly that, well, the
first platform of women's lib should be
24
00:02:13,570 --> 00:02:15,830
doing away with beauty products.
25
00:02:16,410 --> 00:02:21,029
Now, this would give us men an equal
chance at not getting all messed up and
26
00:02:21,030 --> 00:02:23,350
emotionally jostled in such tender ages.
27
00:02:23,590 --> 00:02:29,509
I mean, no makeup, no hairdos, and
instead of silk and fluff and all those
28
00:02:29,510 --> 00:02:33,609
goodies which have been giving me high
blood pressure long before my time, just
29
00:02:33,610 --> 00:02:34,649
a simple...
30
00:02:34,650 --> 00:02:35,700
sackcloth.
31
00:02:36,270 --> 00:02:40,569
Well, enough of that verbal jousting and
down to business. Today's topic for you
32
00:02:40,570 --> 00:02:45,109
dainties out there, I love every one of
you, even wearing your smoldering
33
00:02:45,110 --> 00:02:47,390
sackcloth and sporting those mustaches.
34
00:02:48,050 --> 00:02:53,510
Today's topic is, what was your most
embarrassing moment when dating your
35
00:02:53,590 --> 00:02:56,950
boyfriend, or live -in for the first
time?
36
00:02:58,510 --> 00:03:02,689
Okay, switchboard lighting up. My dear,
that does keep Billow off the
37
00:03:02,690 --> 00:03:03,740
unemployment lines.
38
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,130
Mr. Hollister, I don't believe what
happened.
39
00:03:35,131 --> 00:03:39,019
When I drove by the Rickers' house,
there was a police car, an ambulance.
40
00:03:39,020 --> 00:03:41,960
A neighbor said she was dead. Dr.
Ricker's wife, Ellen.
41
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:43,690
Oh, no.
42
00:03:45,260 --> 00:03:47,370
Did they say how it happened, Mrs.
Barnes?
43
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:49,010
I don't know.
44
00:03:49,751 --> 00:03:51,739
Where's Kathy?
45
00:03:51,740 --> 00:03:53,240
Oh, she's on the patio napping.
46
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:55,570
Kathy?
47
00:03:56,451 --> 00:03:58,239
Kathy? Kathy?
48
00:03:58,240 --> 00:03:59,290
Are you awake?
49
00:03:59,700 --> 00:04:00,750
Oh, hi, Mom.
50
00:04:01,290 --> 00:04:02,910
Is the Edward show over already?
51
00:04:03,370 --> 00:04:05,110
Don't tell me I slept through it all.
52
00:04:05,111 --> 00:04:08,469
No, dear. I turned it off after you went
to sleep. About half an hour ago.
53
00:04:08,470 --> 00:04:09,520
Oh.
54
00:04:12,990 --> 00:04:15,170
Is something the matter, Ma?
55
00:04:16,490 --> 00:04:17,540
What's wrong?
56
00:04:18,029 --> 00:04:19,410
Dr. Ricker's wife, Ellen.
57
00:04:20,149 --> 00:04:21,199
She's dead.
58
00:04:31,191 --> 00:04:37,999
is logged at six minutes past two. He
didn't leave his name. It's just that
59
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,890
there seemed to be some kind of
disturbance going on here.
60
00:04:51,660 --> 00:04:55,030
You been able to reach Dr. Ricker? He's
in surgery since two o 'clock.
61
00:04:55,031 --> 00:04:57,319
But I have him at the hospital to break
the news.
62
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,239
Check along the block, see if you can
come up with that caller and find out
63
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,530
exactly what kind of commotion he heard
here.
64
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:04,210
Right.
65
00:05:29,390 --> 00:05:33,120
That's all the police have, at least up
to the time I asked for their report.
66
00:05:33,670 --> 00:05:35,190
That's all they have?
67
00:05:36,030 --> 00:05:42,489
An eyewitness who saw Dr. Melford
arguing with the victim shortly before
68
00:05:42,490 --> 00:05:45,200
police were called about a disturbance
in the house?
69
00:05:45,950 --> 00:05:49,070
Yeah, and throw in the fact that said
eyewitness saw Dr.
70
00:05:49,310 --> 00:05:54,449
Melford visit that house other times in
the past, and you can't blame Lieutenant
71
00:05:54,450 --> 00:05:56,810
Biddle for holding him on suspicion of
murder.
72
00:06:02,570 --> 00:06:06,349
Oh, uh, Jim, this is Barnaby Jones, a
private investigator I've taken the
73
00:06:06,350 --> 00:06:07,400
liberty of hiring.
74
00:06:07,670 --> 00:06:11,510
Barnaby, Dr. Jim Melford, resident
surgeon at Wilshire Memorial.
75
00:06:12,070 --> 00:06:13,120
Why no bail?
76
00:06:13,510 --> 00:06:16,220
I got some creep of a cellmate who's
been pushing junk.
77
00:06:16,221 --> 00:06:18,489
He'll be doing business at his old stand
in the morning.
78
00:06:18,490 --> 00:06:20,470
Jim, you'll be held for 72 hours.
79
00:06:20,850 --> 00:06:21,900
Uh, the lieutenant.
80
00:06:22,230 --> 00:06:24,890
Um, Biddle. Is that his name?
81
00:06:24,891 --> 00:06:28,249
Why isn't he out there trying to find
out who killed Ricker's wife instead of
82
00:06:28,250 --> 00:06:29,300
trying to hang me?
83
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:37,779
Well, I've known Lieutenant Biddle for a
number of years, and it's my opinion
84
00:06:37,780 --> 00:06:39,720
that he doesn't try to hang people.
85
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:41,570
He's on our side.
86
00:06:43,460 --> 00:06:48,919
Dr. Melford, wouldn't it be a lot more
productive if we just sat down quietly
87
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,960
and kind of discussed the charges that
are being made?
88
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:53,900
I got a right to be upset.
89
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,550
Got back to the hospital, parked in my
car, and six cops started grabbing me.
90
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:06,039
You left the hospital at 1 .30 today and
can't explain where you were for the
91
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,500
next hour and a half, during which time
Dr.
92
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:10,300
Ricker's wife was murdered.
93
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:11,650
Right.
94
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,570
Washed up after a session with two burn
cases.
95
00:07:14,900 --> 00:07:18,699
Drove to the county tennis courts to see
if my usual partner was around. He
96
00:07:18,700 --> 00:07:20,660
wasn't. Back at the hospital at 3 .30.
97
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:22,380
So you didn't play any tennis?
98
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,540
Wandered around watching a few games.
99
00:07:24,541 --> 00:07:28,399
What's unusual about being on county
courts and not meeting anybody you know?
100
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,870
Jim, Mr. Jones isn't questioning your
statement.
101
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:31,930
Of course he is.
102
00:07:35,940 --> 00:07:38,290
Where do we go from I can't account for
my time?
103
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,960
How about this eyewitness, Kathy Barnes?
104
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:46,179
She says she saw you enter the Rickers'
house at 2 o 'clock or shortly
105
00:07:46,180 --> 00:07:47,230
thereafter.
106
00:07:47,540 --> 00:07:48,590
Eyewitness.
107
00:07:50,220 --> 00:07:53,480
A girl under constant medication who
sleeps half each day away.
108
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,630
She was hallucinating for a week after
that skiing accident.
109
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:02,019
Then you're saying that the witness is
not credible, that she is claiming to
110
00:08:02,020 --> 00:08:04,310
have seen things that she didn't see.
Exactly.
111
00:08:04,620 --> 00:08:06,660
She suffered a severe concussion.
112
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,700
There is nothing unusual about sensory
distortions for days, even weeks later.
113
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,360
Well, Ralph, I'll go over the ground and
get back to you.
114
00:08:17,860 --> 00:08:21,100
You don't believe me, that I didn't kill
Ellen Rickards.
115
00:08:21,980 --> 00:08:23,030
Dr. Milford.
116
00:08:23,610 --> 00:08:29,009
My job is to investigate the facts as
thoroughly as I can and hand a report to
117
00:08:29,010 --> 00:08:30,060
your attorney.
118
00:08:30,061 --> 00:08:34,769
Was there anything in your relationship
with Mrs. Rickers which was other than
119
00:08:34,770 --> 00:08:37,030
casual, friendly?
120
00:08:38,789 --> 00:08:40,469
Well, I hardly knew Ellen Rickers.
121
00:08:41,730 --> 00:08:45,069
I held her when she dropped by the
hospital and a couple of times Dr.
122
00:08:45,070 --> 00:08:46,210
invited me to the house.
123
00:08:47,210 --> 00:08:48,260
That's it.
124
00:08:48,670 --> 00:08:49,720
Thank you.
125
00:08:52,571 --> 00:08:59,699
Well, I know it was 2 o 'clock because I
was listening to the radio talk show
126
00:08:59,700 --> 00:09:00,780
and it had just come on.
127
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,220
That's quite distance away, Kathy.
128
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,110
You had no trouble recognizing the man
you saw as Dr. Melford?
129
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:12,399
Well, like I told Lieutenant Biddle, I
met Dr. Melford at the hospital lots of
130
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,260
times. He always wore the same wild
sports coat.
131
00:09:15,500 --> 00:09:18,820
He used to kid about a resident doctor
only affording one jacket.
132
00:09:19,140 --> 00:09:21,790
So he made darn sure he was getting his
money's worth.
133
00:09:21,791 --> 00:09:24,379
And this wasn't the first time you saw
Dr.
134
00:09:24,380 --> 00:09:25,940
Melford visiting Mrs. Rickers?
135
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,120
Well, since my accident, being in a
wheelchair.
136
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,420
Well, I never said anything about it
before.
137
00:09:34,100 --> 00:09:36,900
Because, well, it wasn't any of my
business.
138
00:09:38,060 --> 00:09:39,560
Well, we'll talk again, Kathy.
139
00:09:40,180 --> 00:09:41,230
Kathy.
140
00:09:41,620 --> 00:09:45,319
It's that time again. I thought Dr.
Rickers said I didn't have to take any
141
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:46,940
medicine. It's your only vitamin.
142
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:48,760
Something to build up your strength.
143
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,479
Don't ever try to stem Christie around a
tree. Mr. Jones not while you're
144
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:57,060
watching cute boy going by I'll keep
that in mind
145
00:10:30,401 --> 00:10:32,699
I'll just be a few moments
146
00:10:32,700 --> 00:10:50,439
Good
147
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:57,279
morning
148
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,240
for dr. Rickards
149
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:01,250
I am sorry.
150
00:11:01,340 --> 00:11:04,050
Lieutenant Biddle gave me permission to
look around.
151
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:05,400
I didn't know you were here.
152
00:11:05,940 --> 00:11:08,620
I'm afraid I'm not altogether here this
morning.
153
00:11:09,260 --> 00:11:12,740
I'm Barnaby Jones. I'm a private
investigator. I'm assisting Dr.
154
00:11:12,741 --> 00:11:16,279
Melford's lawyer in looking into the
facts of the case.
155
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:20,099
Well, if there's anything I can do to
assist you, Mr. Jones, I'll be only too
156
00:11:20,100 --> 00:11:21,150
happy.
157
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,480
Jim Melford did not kill my wife.
158
00:11:28,481 --> 00:11:33,169
Well, Doctor, maybe some other time. No,
no, this should be cleared up as soon
159
00:11:33,170 --> 00:11:34,220
as possible.
160
00:11:34,470 --> 00:11:37,660
Not only is Jim's career at stake, but
also my wife's integrity.
161
00:11:38,390 --> 00:11:42,649
Dr. Milford thinks that in her present
state, Kathy may have hallucinated the
162
00:11:42,650 --> 00:11:43,589
whole story.
163
00:11:43,590 --> 00:11:45,150
Yes, yes, he's right, of course.
164
00:11:45,730 --> 00:11:49,640
That girl's gone through many periods of
disorientation since her accident.
165
00:11:49,890 --> 00:11:53,330
I spoke to her a few minutes ago. She
seemed alert, clear -headed.
166
00:11:54,290 --> 00:11:58,130
I'm expecting rapid improvement now, but
patients...
167
00:11:58,590 --> 00:12:02,190
recovering from head injuries often fall
into a dreamlike state.
168
00:12:02,470 --> 00:12:06,030
They imagine events which seem very real
to them after awakening.
169
00:12:14,030 --> 00:12:15,080
Ironic, isn't it?
170
00:12:16,350 --> 00:12:18,460
This picture was taken at the Elmwood
Spa.
171
00:12:18,810 --> 00:12:22,420
I don't know how many times Ellen phoned
me, pleading with me to join her.
172
00:12:22,630 --> 00:12:23,870
Maybe tomorrow, I'd say.
173
00:12:25,730 --> 00:12:27,010
The irony is...
174
00:12:27,660 --> 00:12:29,420
No one can guarantee our tomorrows.
175
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,060
I won't bother you further, Doctor.
176
00:12:33,940 --> 00:12:35,260
Please accept my sympathy.
177
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:39,819
Mr. Jones, I can assure you of one thing
you'll find during the course of your
178
00:12:39,820 --> 00:12:40,870
investigation.
179
00:12:41,980 --> 00:12:44,990
Jim Melford is totally innocent of the
charges against him.
180
00:12:45,900 --> 00:12:48,550
They'll have to look elsewhere for my
wife's killer.
181
00:13:06,969 --> 00:13:09,470
There's the best relaxing exercise in
the world.
182
00:13:09,910 --> 00:13:11,890
And it tones up the midriff.
183
00:13:12,130 --> 00:13:13,290
It does much more.
184
00:13:13,610 --> 00:13:15,070
Try it sometimes, Mr. Jones.
185
00:13:15,650 --> 00:13:17,450
You'll feel that old spine tingling.
186
00:13:18,150 --> 00:13:19,610
Now, to get back to Mrs.
187
00:13:19,830 --> 00:13:22,070
Rickers, she spent some time here.
188
00:13:22,730 --> 00:13:24,110
Did you get to know her well?
189
00:13:24,330 --> 00:13:25,380
Not too well.
190
00:13:25,650 --> 00:13:27,530
Made out a couple programs for her.
191
00:13:27,531 --> 00:13:30,349
You know, classes I thought she'd be
interested in.
192
00:13:30,350 --> 00:13:31,400
Never was.
193
00:13:31,401 --> 00:13:36,069
Shame she's dead. I just heard about it
an hour ago. Some of the guests talking
194
00:13:36,070 --> 00:13:36,809
about it.
195
00:13:36,810 --> 00:13:38,490
You just heard about it an hour ago.
196
00:13:39,230 --> 00:13:40,490
It was in all the papers.
197
00:13:40,810 --> 00:13:44,540
I didn't see the papers. I've been up in
the high Sierras camping with my son.
198
00:13:44,670 --> 00:13:45,720
You know that boy?
199
00:13:46,030 --> 00:13:47,170
You know, Mr.
200
00:13:47,590 --> 00:13:53,630
Sims, what I'm trying to do is to put
together a picture of Mrs. Ricker's
201
00:13:53,710 --> 00:13:54,760
her friends.
202
00:13:55,330 --> 00:13:57,620
Did she socialize much with the guests
here?
203
00:13:58,490 --> 00:14:01,270
Socialize? I wouldn't say that. No, not
at all.
204
00:14:01,850 --> 00:14:05,530
Just went through the health program and
kind of kept to herself.
205
00:14:07,739 --> 00:14:09,299
Health programs, Mrs. Rickers?
206
00:14:09,500 --> 00:14:11,060
Would you like to explain that?
207
00:14:12,460 --> 00:14:16,380
Well, to each his own, or her own.
208
00:14:17,140 --> 00:14:19,940
Mrs. Rickers wasn't exactly a desirable
guest.
209
00:14:20,820 --> 00:14:24,700
The cottage she stayed in is pretty
secluded, but after dark, voices carry.
210
00:14:25,740 --> 00:14:29,840
She had a visitor coming in late, always
arguing with him, it seems.
211
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:34,320
I had to go over there and tell him to
hold it down a couple of times.
212
00:14:34,540 --> 00:14:35,980
You know who the visitor was?
213
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,080
At first I thought it was her husband.
214
00:14:38,820 --> 00:14:41,900
But a couple of gals here laughed when I
mentioned it to them.
215
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:43,360
What did he look like?
216
00:14:43,531 --> 00:14:45,619
30 -ish.
217
00:14:45,620 --> 00:14:47,400
Dark. Guy with a temper.
218
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,850
I thought we were going to tangle when I
told them they'd have to be quiet.
219
00:14:52,620 --> 00:14:53,670
This the man?
220
00:14:55,020 --> 00:14:56,070
Mm -hmm. That's him.
221
00:14:56,260 --> 00:14:57,310
You're positive?
222
00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:59,240
I saw him at least twice.
223
00:15:00,020 --> 00:15:05,199
But the way the gals talked around here,
he had to spend a lot of nights at that
224
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:06,250
cottage.
225
00:15:06,869 --> 00:15:09,219
Mrs. Ricker's health program, they
called him.
226
00:15:17,770 --> 00:15:19,790
You're not only a liar, you're a fool.
227
00:15:21,050 --> 00:15:24,540
You're a fool for not telling your
attorney about that relationship.
228
00:15:24,541 --> 00:15:27,689
And you're a fool for lying to the
police. I was trying to protect her
229
00:15:27,690 --> 00:15:29,070
reputation. She was dead.
230
00:15:30,010 --> 00:15:32,120
Then why give the newspapers a field
day?
231
00:15:32,950 --> 00:15:34,830
Let me give you some sound advice.
232
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,350
Call your attorney right now and tell
him the truth.
233
00:15:39,300 --> 00:15:42,010
Wait, you're still with us, right? Still
on the case?
234
00:15:42,460 --> 00:15:43,510
For what purpose?
235
00:15:43,860 --> 00:15:48,779
I set out to find out if Ellen Rickers
had a gentleman friend who might have
236
00:15:48,780 --> 00:15:50,100
been visiting her that day.
237
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:54,200
I sure found him. I didn't kill her.
When I walked in, she was already dead.
238
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:56,490
Lying on the floor.
239
00:15:58,300 --> 00:16:00,340
Yeah, that's right. I was at the house.
240
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,160
It was a few minutes after two, so I...
241
00:16:03,550 --> 00:16:07,769
Yes, Kathy Barnes did see me there, but
I didn't pound on that door. I used a
242
00:16:07,770 --> 00:16:11,010
key, opened it, and walked in.
243
00:16:11,530 --> 00:16:15,370
As soon as I saw Ellen, I knew I
couldn't do anything for her, I left.
244
00:16:15,950 --> 00:16:20,569
I mean, how could I have explained being
at the house, having a key, visiting
245
00:16:20,570 --> 00:16:23,340
there at the very time I knew Dr.
Rickers was operating?
246
00:16:24,850 --> 00:16:29,749
Are you aware that Kathy Barnes is not
only seeing that you saw you enter the
247
00:16:29,750 --> 00:16:32,630
house, but that you saw Ellen Rickers...
248
00:16:33,479 --> 00:16:34,820
Alive, arguing with you?
249
00:16:35,060 --> 00:16:39,719
And that's been driving me crazy. That
girl seeing me and Ellen together at the
250
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:41,420
very time I went into the house.
251
00:16:42,180 --> 00:16:46,200
The only answer I can find is she
imagined she saw Ellen alive.
252
00:16:46,820 --> 00:16:50,840
She saw you, but she hallucinated Ellen
Rickers all at the same time?
253
00:16:51,220 --> 00:16:52,640
Mr. Jones, I loved Ellen.
254
00:16:53,300 --> 00:16:54,350
I didn't kill her.
255
00:16:56,380 --> 00:16:57,760
You didn't pound on the door.
256
00:16:57,761 --> 00:16:58,979
Why should I?
257
00:16:58,980 --> 00:17:00,030
I had a key.
258
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:01,570
Where is the key?
259
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,170
Threw it out the window while I was
driving.
260
00:17:07,940 --> 00:17:12,519
I don't even remember where. It was an
impulsive act. I wanted nothing to
261
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,260
connect me with the Rickers' house.
262
00:17:14,819 --> 00:17:19,880
Dr. Malford, how could you make so many
mistakes on just one day?
263
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,780
That key may have substantiated part of
your story.
264
00:17:25,079 --> 00:17:26,129
Total panic.
265
00:17:26,420 --> 00:17:27,470
Pure and simple.
266
00:17:29,620 --> 00:17:31,660
How long had the affair been going on?
267
00:17:33,140 --> 00:17:34,190
Six months, maybe.
268
00:17:35,630 --> 00:17:39,849
We started meeting at the Ricker's
summer cottage at L .A., but we felt
269
00:17:39,850 --> 00:17:44,929
dangerous, and we started meeting at the
spa or at the Ricker's house when we
270
00:17:44,930 --> 00:17:46,250
knew he would be in surgery.
271
00:17:48,950 --> 00:17:54,109
Doctor, as an agent for your attorney, I
am privileged. That means that anything
272
00:17:54,110 --> 00:17:56,990
you tell me will be held in the
strictest confidence.
273
00:17:57,490 --> 00:18:02,270
Now, is there anything but anything that
you're holding back?
274
00:18:05,409 --> 00:18:12,349
Can't think of anything I Want you to
call your attorney right
275
00:18:12,350 --> 00:18:16,409
now get him over here and tell him
everything you told me I think he'll
276
00:18:16,410 --> 00:18:20,389
to you that your revise your story to
the police Then you're staying on the
277
00:18:20,390 --> 00:18:27,289
Doctor I hope I'm not in for any
278
00:18:27,290 --> 00:18:28,340
more surprises
279
00:18:31,461 --> 00:18:38,249
Now, when I let you off, I want you to
run a routine check on everybody
280
00:18:38,250 --> 00:18:42,810
connected. And Betty, if you have time,
talk to some of Kathy's school friends.
281
00:18:42,811 --> 00:18:46,149
Let's get a fix on what the younger
people think of her.
282
00:18:46,150 --> 00:18:48,630
Her credibility or flights of fancy?
283
00:18:49,310 --> 00:18:51,130
Melford is not a stupid man.
284
00:18:52,010 --> 00:18:56,830
He knows that Kathy says that she saw
Alan Rickers inside the house, alive,
285
00:18:57,130 --> 00:18:58,180
talking to him.
286
00:18:58,830 --> 00:19:00,880
Now, if that's true, why does he deny
it?
287
00:19:01,450 --> 00:19:05,490
Why doesn't he just say yes? He left
Ellen in the house, still alive.
288
00:19:05,491 --> 00:19:10,429
Leaving the police with the problem of
having to prove that she wasn't killed
289
00:19:10,430 --> 00:19:11,730
later on by someone else.
290
00:19:12,350 --> 00:19:13,400
Exactly.
291
00:19:13,950 --> 00:19:18,489
Now, if Melford has finished lying,
we've got to take a closer look at
292
00:19:18,490 --> 00:19:19,540
story.
293
00:19:23,830 --> 00:19:25,670
You're right. I'm not dizzy at all.
294
00:19:25,671 --> 00:19:29,429
There's no reason you shouldn't walk
about as much as you wish. Now, try to
295
00:19:29,430 --> 00:19:30,480
outdoors more.
296
00:19:30,481 --> 00:19:33,749
We can take a drive for a few hours
tomorrow if you like. Oh, great.
297
00:19:33,750 --> 00:19:36,909
Would you bring Kathy by the office
tomorrow morning before you drive?
298
00:19:36,910 --> 00:19:38,350
I want to run some final tests.
299
00:19:39,270 --> 00:19:40,590
You all right, honey? Yeah.
300
00:19:55,751 --> 00:20:00,339
When is Mrs. Barnes returning from San
Francisco?
301
00:20:00,340 --> 00:20:02,080
She'll be away just for the weekend.
302
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:05,570
Dr. Rickers.
303
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:07,210
Oh, Mr. Jones.
304
00:20:07,211 --> 00:20:09,359
Are you making any headway in the case?
305
00:20:09,360 --> 00:20:11,779
I'm still going around asking people
questions.
306
00:20:11,780 --> 00:20:15,090
Uh, Miss Hollister, I wonder if I might
have a few words with Kathy.
307
00:20:15,460 --> 00:20:16,780
She's out back on the patio.
308
00:20:16,980 --> 00:20:18,030
Thank you.
309
00:20:18,340 --> 00:20:23,320
Doctor, just about everyone agrees that
this case hinges on Kathy's credibility.
310
00:20:24,750 --> 00:20:28,269
I wonder if we could have a talk about
her medical condition at your
311
00:20:28,270 --> 00:20:32,529
convenience. Well, I'm tied up today.
Perhaps you could drop by my office
312
00:20:32,530 --> 00:20:34,089
tomorrow morning, say about 10?
313
00:20:34,090 --> 00:20:35,470
Surely. Thank you.
314
00:20:48,030 --> 00:20:49,770
It's hard to see that door from here.
315
00:20:50,810 --> 00:20:53,410
Yeah, but it's the door Dr. Milford
used.
316
00:20:54,370 --> 00:20:55,550
Bush kind of hides it.
317
00:20:56,190 --> 00:21:00,209
And you could clearly see that it was
Ellen Rickers inside the house talking
318
00:21:00,210 --> 00:21:02,890
Dr. Melford. Oh, sure, you can't miss
her blonde hair.
319
00:21:03,250 --> 00:21:05,600
And she was wearing a bright red
dressing gown.
320
00:21:11,890 --> 00:21:13,510
Getting your sea legs back, huh?
321
00:21:14,690 --> 00:21:16,550
Beyond the slopes come first snow.
322
00:21:18,270 --> 00:21:23,170
Next time, you'll be watching where
you're going, won't you? With both eyes.
323
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:27,500
It's wearing off boys at 40 miles an
hour downhill that is.
324
00:21:28,820 --> 00:21:33,239
Kathy, I want to impress you with the
importance of time. Now, you say you
325
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,799
it was 2 o 'clock because you were
listening to your radio.
326
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:41,920
Yeah. No, not my radio. It was being
fixed up. I had the stereo speaker on.
327
00:21:42,220 --> 00:21:46,019
Was there a time announcement on the
program so that you knew it was exactly
328
00:21:46,020 --> 00:21:46,999
'clock?
329
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,800
Some music and then the announcer thing
to stand by for the Edward show.
330
00:21:51,500 --> 00:21:52,820
No, no time.
331
00:21:53,390 --> 00:21:57,529
And the Edward show always goes on at 2
o 'clock? Yeah, I always listen. Most
332
00:21:57,530 --> 00:21:58,580
everybody does.
333
00:21:59,030 --> 00:22:04,729
So you were listening to the program,
and were you wide awake or sort of
334
00:22:04,730 --> 00:22:09,190
catnapping? Well, I did fall asleep, but
that was after Edward started.
335
00:22:09,550 --> 00:22:11,550
You know, giving his topic for the day?
336
00:22:11,890 --> 00:22:16,869
It was, what was your most embarrassing
moment when dating your hubby, or as he
337
00:22:16,870 --> 00:22:19,370
put it, your live -in, for the first
time?
338
00:22:20,150 --> 00:22:21,430
Sometimes I even call.
339
00:22:21,670 --> 00:22:22,720
You call?
340
00:22:22,970 --> 00:22:24,020
Well, on the topic.
341
00:22:24,021 --> 00:22:26,309
Since I've been laid up, I've been
calling.
342
00:22:26,310 --> 00:22:30,070
So you listened to the show for a few
minutes, and then you fell asleep.
343
00:22:31,610 --> 00:22:34,790
I began dozing, and then I saw Dr.
344
00:22:35,250 --> 00:22:36,990
Melford and Ellen Rickers arguing.
345
00:22:37,190 --> 00:22:38,240
But you were dozing.
346
00:22:40,130 --> 00:22:42,110
I know what you mean, Mr. Jones.
347
00:22:42,970 --> 00:22:46,220
Lieutenant Biddle keeps asking me if I
could have been dreaming.
348
00:22:47,330 --> 00:22:48,990
I don't think I was.
349
00:22:49,350 --> 00:22:50,650
But I don't know...
350
00:22:51,020 --> 00:22:54,330
Maybe it would have been better if I
hadn't said anything that day.
351
00:22:54,420 --> 00:22:56,100
No, you did the right thing, Kathy.
352
00:22:56,620 --> 00:23:00,560
Say what you saw or what you think you
saw and leave the rest up to the police.
353
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:40,780
Stopped off for a bottle of champagne.
354
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:41,970
Oh?
355
00:23:42,340 --> 00:23:43,600
What are we celebrating?
356
00:23:44,260 --> 00:23:45,720
Look. Look at that.
357
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:50,010
Indicted for murder.
358
00:23:50,540 --> 00:23:51,590
Home free.
359
00:23:51,591 --> 00:23:56,079
I'd be totally satisfied when Melford's
sitting in a cell for the rest of his
360
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:57,130
natural life.
361
00:23:57,131 --> 00:24:00,539
That was the most important part, wasn't
it?
362
00:24:00,540 --> 00:24:01,590
Paying Melford back.
363
00:24:02,460 --> 00:24:04,260
I don't know which one I hate the most.
364
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,240
That loud -mouthed, arrogant...
365
00:24:08,050 --> 00:24:09,910
Or Ellen flaunting her purse strings.
366
00:24:10,130 --> 00:24:11,180
Hey.
367
00:24:12,110 --> 00:24:13,370
Celebration, remember?
368
00:24:13,710 --> 00:24:14,760
Cheers, all that.
369
00:24:16,390 --> 00:24:18,800
Or maybe having you is the most
important thing.
370
00:24:19,450 --> 00:24:20,510
Now that I'll buy.
371
00:24:28,041 --> 00:24:34,969
Oh, Pete, I can just see you out there.
You sound like one of those typical
372
00:24:34,970 --> 00:24:38,909
chauvinistic dudes, you know, with...
Well, they're so despised by my doll
373
00:24:38,910 --> 00:24:41,869
babies, and I think with very good
reason, pal. Matter of fact, right now
374
00:24:41,870 --> 00:24:45,810
got you in sharp focus with my magic
billow bleeper there.
375
00:24:45,811 --> 00:24:49,349
And I can see you sitting out there
hunkered down on your spabbing haunches
376
00:24:49,350 --> 00:24:52,300
flea -bitten manner, probably called
Crestfallen Plaza.
377
00:24:52,301 --> 00:24:56,349
I can see you out there right now with
your phone in one hand and plucking
378
00:24:56,350 --> 00:24:59,830
pensively at your prehensile asparagus
-like toes with the other.
379
00:25:00,490 --> 00:25:04,389
I have to kind of defend my doll babies
out there, but stay tuned, Chums, for
380
00:25:04,390 --> 00:25:08,389
five minutes of late news, and I'll be
back with further acrimonious rebuttal
381
00:25:08,390 --> 00:25:09,850
defending my ladies.
382
00:25:12,490 --> 00:25:15,570
Well, I'm not the neatest person in the
world.
383
00:25:15,790 --> 00:25:18,910
One of my ex -wives is so fond of
nagging me.
384
00:25:19,310 --> 00:25:23,330
Add that to the fact, Mrs. Jones, that I
have a memory like a neurotic hamster.
385
00:25:23,390 --> 00:25:27,029
Oh, here we are. And my life is a
constant 24 -hour whirl of anxious
386
00:25:27,030 --> 00:25:28,080
desperation.
387
00:25:28,081 --> 00:25:32,099
Well, I see you certainly have your
share of fan mail. I was hoping you'd
388
00:25:32,100 --> 00:25:34,990
notice, my dear. By the way, do you ever
listen to my shows?
389
00:25:35,780 --> 00:25:36,830
Almost all the time.
390
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,930
Well, thank you, my dear, for that
charitable falsehood.
391
00:25:40,700 --> 00:25:41,750
Now, let's see.
392
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,380
Wednesday, the 19th, Mr. Jones?
393
00:25:44,700 --> 00:25:45,820
Your afternoon show.
394
00:25:46,060 --> 00:25:48,460
Well, here we are. No delay of program.
395
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,250
Could have been a few seconds, no more
than that.
396
00:25:51,340 --> 00:25:55,739
How long after your program starts do
you usually introduce the topic of the
397
00:25:55,740 --> 00:25:59,919
day? Oh, I would say about four or five
minutes. I announce the topic as soon as
398
00:25:59,920 --> 00:26:02,959
possible, just give my callers time to
gather their scattered wits. And
399
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:06,559
incidentally, that was the other woman
day, not quite the juicy, succulent
400
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:07,610
I thought it would be.
401
00:26:07,620 --> 00:26:11,480
Then you would say that no longer than
five minutes after the program starts.
402
00:26:12,260 --> 00:26:13,310
The other woman?
403
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:18,240
Yeah, here it is. Were you ever that
other woman in a divorce case?
404
00:26:18,241 --> 00:26:22,749
Well, I was under the impression that
the topic of the day, on that particular
405
00:26:22,750 --> 00:26:26,049
day, was what was your most embarrassing
moment on your first date with your
406
00:26:26,050 --> 00:26:26,989
husband or boyfriend?
407
00:26:26,990 --> 00:26:28,040
Oh, let's see.
408
00:26:28,150 --> 00:26:29,200
That's an oldie.
409
00:26:29,250 --> 00:26:33,649
Here we are. By the way, Mr. Jones,
you've got me throbbing with curiosity
410
00:26:33,650 --> 00:26:37,869
this case becomes, well, let's say,
unconfidential. I'd love to hear all
411
00:26:37,870 --> 00:26:38,920
it, full details.
412
00:26:39,170 --> 00:26:41,630
Here it is, the 26th of last month.
413
00:26:42,210 --> 00:26:46,670
Topic, what was your most embarrassing
moment while dating your hubby?
414
00:26:47,020 --> 00:26:49,190
boyfriend, or live -in the very first
time.
415
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:53,920
Is it 26 until last month? All right,
here. Feel free to make notes.
416
00:26:53,921 --> 00:26:56,899
And by the way, I've got a check on the
calls coming in. I'll see you later.
417
00:26:56,900 --> 00:26:57,950
Thank you.
418
00:26:57,951 --> 00:27:03,819
Well, if Kathy was confused about the
topic of the show, doesn't that make you
419
00:27:03,820 --> 00:27:04,960
doubt her whole story?
420
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,800
She reminds me of a little girl I met in
a spelling bee once.
421
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:15,299
She was so charming that even when she
spelled the words wrong, she had the
422
00:27:15,300 --> 00:27:16,350
judge believe in her.
423
00:27:24,170 --> 00:27:25,220
Look to the left.
424
00:27:27,070 --> 00:27:28,120
Now look down.
425
00:27:30,210 --> 00:27:32,230
Good. Light, Miss Hollister, please.
426
00:27:33,610 --> 00:27:35,570
That'll for a B grade, Dr. Rickards?
427
00:27:36,230 --> 00:27:38,310
A B plus with a certain A coming.
428
00:27:38,311 --> 00:27:40,669
Still want to take a drive this morning,
or would you rather do a little
429
00:27:40,670 --> 00:27:44,280
shopping? Maybe both. Spend the morning
driving, then shop after lunch.
430
00:27:44,770 --> 00:27:45,820
Yes.
431
00:27:45,930 --> 00:27:46,980
Yes, we're finished.
432
00:27:47,010 --> 00:27:48,190
Send Mr. Jones in.
433
00:27:48,191 --> 00:27:52,669
All right, girls, I don't want you to
overdo this first day, so limit it to a
434
00:27:52,670 --> 00:27:53,720
two -hour drive.
435
00:27:53,850 --> 00:27:56,380
And then straight home, nap time no
later than one.
436
00:27:57,770 --> 00:28:00,690
Doctor? Morning, Mr. Jones. Kathy, how
are the sea legs?
437
00:28:00,970 --> 00:28:02,330
Oh, much better, Mr. Jones.
438
00:28:03,110 --> 00:28:04,160
Such a nice morning.
439
00:28:04,161 --> 00:28:05,229
Let's get started.
440
00:28:05,230 --> 00:28:07,570
Oh, Kathy, I met your Mr.
441
00:28:07,790 --> 00:28:08,840
Edwards yesterday.
442
00:28:08,841 --> 00:28:09,789
You did?
443
00:28:09,790 --> 00:28:12,749
Hey, what's he like? Does he remember
me? I called him twice, you know.
444
00:28:12,750 --> 00:28:16,669
Well, we didn't have much time to talk,
but we did discuss a topic of the day
445
00:28:16,670 --> 00:28:18,030
that you heard on the patio.
446
00:28:18,930 --> 00:28:21,400
Something about your most embarrassing
moment.
447
00:28:21,580 --> 00:28:24,890
Yeah, when you dated your husband or
boyfriend for the first time.
448
00:28:24,940 --> 00:28:29,399
Only he said that wasn't the topic of
the day. He said it was something to do
449
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,180
with, were you ever the other woman in a
divorce case?
450
00:28:32,980 --> 00:28:36,470
No, I would have remembered that. It was
the most embarrassing moment.
451
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:38,600
No, Mr. Jones is right, Kathy.
452
00:28:38,900 --> 00:28:40,640
The program was on in the house, too.
453
00:28:40,860 --> 00:28:44,600
I remember callers talking about being
that other woman in a divorce case.
454
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:46,330
It's not uncommon.
455
00:28:46,331 --> 00:28:50,419
falling asleep believing you're hearing
that program, but your subconscious
456
00:28:50,420 --> 00:28:52,560
picking up words heard at a previous
time.
457
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:55,170
I guess.
458
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:57,640
I think it's time we got started, Kathy.
459
00:29:00,180 --> 00:29:03,790
Bye, Mr. Jones. Bye, Kathy. Thanks, Dr.
Ricketts. All right, have a good time.
460
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:10,539
Dr. Ricketts, if Kathy was totally wrong
about what she thought she heard on the
461
00:29:10,540 --> 00:29:15,059
radio, couldn't she have been equally
wrong about what she saw or thought she
462
00:29:15,060 --> 00:29:16,110
saw that day?
463
00:29:16,111 --> 00:29:20,769
Ordinarily, yes, but you can't dream or
hallucinate something you've never seen
464
00:29:20,770 --> 00:29:22,510
before. I don't follow you.
465
00:29:23,090 --> 00:29:27,009
That red dressing gown Ellen was
wearing, it was a gift from me,
466
00:29:27,010 --> 00:29:29,329
her just that morning before I left for
the hospital.
467
00:29:29,330 --> 00:29:33,690
Now, if Kathy said she saw Ellen in a
red robe, a color she's never worn
468
00:29:33,890 --> 00:29:38,449
it proves that she did indeed see Ellen
alive as she looked down to my front
469
00:29:38,450 --> 00:29:39,930
door about 2 o 'clock that day.
470
00:29:40,170 --> 00:29:41,220
I see.
471
00:29:41,221 --> 00:29:43,849
It didn't occur to me until just this
morning, and I immediately called
472
00:29:43,850 --> 00:29:46,200
Lieutenant Biddle and told him about the
robe.
473
00:29:46,510 --> 00:29:48,950
That does tighten the case against Dr.
474
00:29:49,230 --> 00:29:50,310
Melford, doesn't it?
475
00:29:50,550 --> 00:29:55,449
With Melford admitting he came to my
house, I think he should also admit that
476
00:29:55,450 --> 00:29:59,049
that uncontrollable temper of his took
over. And he struck Ellen, causing her
477
00:29:59,050 --> 00:30:00,029
death.
478
00:30:00,030 --> 00:30:01,150
Well, if that's true,
479
00:30:02,070 --> 00:30:03,170
it seems to me Dr.
480
00:30:03,430 --> 00:30:07,450
Melford could take the easy way out and
plead involuntary manslaughter.
481
00:30:08,730 --> 00:30:10,530
Maybe you should suggest that to him.
482
00:30:11,970 --> 00:30:13,770
I think I'll leave that to it, lawyer.
483
00:30:23,050 --> 00:30:24,430
Isn't it very quiet, Kathy?
484
00:30:25,390 --> 00:30:26,610
Thinking about Mr.
485
00:30:26,830 --> 00:30:30,570
Jones, something he said about the time
of day being so important.
486
00:30:31,210 --> 00:30:37,569
And? Well, I didn't think about it too
much before, but that day was kind of
487
00:30:37,570 --> 00:30:38,620
jumbled up for me.
488
00:30:38,870 --> 00:30:43,730
For instance, do you remember when you
woke me up for lunch and I wasn't
489
00:30:43,870 --> 00:30:45,980
I thought it was too soon after
breakfast.
490
00:30:47,530 --> 00:30:50,070
Oh, having a lesser appetite isn't
unusual.
491
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:55,819
But when you wheeled me out to the
patio, it was 2 o 'clock, and I woke up
492
00:30:55,820 --> 00:30:56,870
.30.
493
00:30:56,940 --> 00:30:58,560
That's only a half hour's sleep.
494
00:30:58,940 --> 00:31:02,819
I mean, on other days after taking my
medicine, I'd feel groggy if I didn't
495
00:31:02,820 --> 00:31:03,900
sleep at least an hour.
496
00:31:04,820 --> 00:31:07,890
You're regaining your full strength now.
You need less sleep.
497
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:09,720
But you see, time again.
498
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,550
I'm getting worried about being so
positive with things that day.
499
00:31:13,900 --> 00:31:18,100
I mean, if things seem mixed up to me
now, thinking back...
500
00:31:18,330 --> 00:31:22,330
Maybe I was dreaming I saw Mrs. Rickers
-Vallad talking to Dr. Melford.
501
00:31:23,830 --> 00:31:25,330
I'm sure you weren't dreaming.
502
00:31:26,410 --> 00:31:27,550
We'll make a stop ahead.
503
00:31:28,070 --> 00:31:31,500
I have to call Dr. Rickers. Something I
forgot to tell him this morning.
504
00:31:32,930 --> 00:31:33,980
Yes?
505
00:31:34,750 --> 00:31:35,800
Yes, Mary.
506
00:31:35,801 --> 00:31:40,449
It's not that she's suspicious, but if
she talks to Jones like that, how long
507
00:31:40,450 --> 00:31:42,370
would it be before he puts it together?
508
00:31:42,550 --> 00:31:44,410
How far are you from the lake cottage?
509
00:31:44,710 --> 00:31:45,970
About 30 minutes, I think.
510
00:31:47,169 --> 00:31:48,669
All right, I'll meet you there.
511
00:31:48,670 --> 00:31:52,329
Kathy and her mother have both been
guests before, so she won't think it
512
00:31:52,330 --> 00:31:54,500
of my suggesting you spend a day at the
lake.
513
00:31:55,250 --> 00:31:57,610
Tell her I decided to take the day off.
514
00:31:58,050 --> 00:32:01,480
I thought it might be fun to do a little
trout fishing together again.
515
00:32:03,350 --> 00:32:06,210
This is an identical portable to the one
Miss Barnes has.
516
00:32:06,830 --> 00:32:07,880
A simple repair.
517
00:32:08,350 --> 00:32:11,650
A resistor in the primary circuit. It
worked itself loose.
518
00:32:11,970 --> 00:32:15,470
Would you say it's unusual for a defect
to show up in that way?
519
00:32:15,900 --> 00:32:17,020
Ah, yes and no.
520
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:21,940
What was unusual, I found the warranty
seal broken when I opened it up.
521
00:32:22,580 --> 00:32:26,100
Strange, because I delivered it to the
house just about a week ago.
522
00:32:26,460 --> 00:32:27,510
It was new.
523
00:32:27,660 --> 00:32:28,800
Perfect working order.
524
00:32:29,060 --> 00:32:30,500
Who brought it in for repair?
525
00:32:30,700 --> 00:32:31,800
I don't know her name.
526
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,200
A nurse. She brought it in and picked it
up.
527
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:39,660
That stereo system that Mrs. Barnes has
in her house, did you install that?
528
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:40,930
Oh, yes.
529
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:42,380
I know the family well.
530
00:32:42,620 --> 00:32:44,910
I've been doing business with them for
years.
531
00:32:45,180 --> 00:32:46,230
Look here.
532
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,850
This is the model they bought just about
a year ago.
533
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:51,300
It's very fine equipment.
534
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:53,040
Plays cassette tapes.
535
00:32:53,980 --> 00:32:55,120
Records and plays back.
536
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:59,519
So the tapes could be heard through
every speaker in the house, including
537
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:00,539
one on the patio.
538
00:33:00,540 --> 00:33:01,590
Right.
539
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:04,610
Mind -boggling.
540
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:06,540
Oh, it's a common system today.
541
00:33:06,900 --> 00:33:10,150
The cassette feeds through the receiver
and out to the speakers.
542
00:33:10,180 --> 00:33:12,280
I was thinking of something else, Mr.
Sue.
543
00:33:15,340 --> 00:33:19,300
And the next company Rickers formed went
broke just last year.
544
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:24,879
You know, I sensed from the broker that
Mrs. Rickers was tired of bailing her
545
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:27,470
husband out from all these flyers he's
been taking.
546
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:29,220
Well, what have we got?
547
00:33:29,380 --> 00:33:31,180
A ne 'er -do -well and a wealthy woman.
548
00:33:32,660 --> 00:33:33,710
Motive is there.
549
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:39,439
Add on to that the sudden failure of
Kathy's radio and Nurse Hollister's
550
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:42,220
convenient correcting of Kathy on the
talk show topic.
551
00:33:42,221 --> 00:33:46,219
And Kathy confined to intensive care on
the 26th, the day of the embarrassing
552
00:33:46,220 --> 00:33:47,270
moment topic.
553
00:33:47,740 --> 00:33:51,400
And the hospital says they do not have
radios in intensive care.
554
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,750
Well, if she didn't hear it, that proves
she wasn't dreaming.
555
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,630
But only Kathy can tell us if she heard
a radio that day.
556
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,740
Barnaby, you said she'd be home by 1.
It's almost 1 .30.
557
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:05,660
Let's make a phone call.
558
00:34:14,009 --> 00:34:16,110
No, I couldn't say where she is.
559
00:34:17,270 --> 00:34:21,769
Well, I'm just an old friend of
Marion's. She told me to give her a buzz
560
00:34:21,770 --> 00:34:22,820
ever happen in town.
561
00:34:23,650 --> 00:34:25,469
I wish I could be more of a help.
562
00:34:25,989 --> 00:34:28,429
She did phone in a while back to talk to
Dr.
563
00:34:28,690 --> 00:34:31,400
Rickers, but I have no idea where she
was calling from.
564
00:34:31,401 --> 00:34:35,109
Well, do you think Dr. Rickers might
have some idea?
565
00:34:35,110 --> 00:34:39,209
The doctor's out. He canceled all his
appointments and left the office right
566
00:34:39,210 --> 00:34:40,950
after he talked to Nurse Hollister.
567
00:34:40,951 --> 00:34:42,569
Well, I...
568
00:34:42,570 --> 00:34:44,560
I do thank you very much. I appreciate
it.
569
00:34:46,409 --> 00:34:47,459
I heard.
570
00:34:47,989 --> 00:34:50,929
And what kind of a phone call would
cause Dr.
571
00:34:51,190 --> 00:34:53,900
Rickers to cancel all his appointments
and rush out?
572
00:34:56,989 --> 00:35:00,770
And so any of you hauntingly lovely
women who might have any piercing,
573
00:35:00,890 --> 00:35:05,349
penetrating idea on what's the dirtiest
trick your man ever played on you, you
574
00:35:05,350 --> 00:35:09,559
just tell me, your secret admirer, all
about it. my dear. Hey, chums, remember
575
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:12,030
that dear little youngster who called in
Kathy?
576
00:35:12,240 --> 00:35:16,079
What she did was fracture her tiny
feminine flipper up on the ski slopes
577
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:19,300
two weeks back. Well, I want to hear
from Kathy today, but...
578
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:23,879
Perhaps this youngster abides by Bill
O's stern law that you have to wait ten
579
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:27,419
days. Well, I'm going to set aside that
ten -day law right now, which, of
580
00:35:27,420 --> 00:35:30,819
course, has been cast in bronze for
permanent remembrance. So, Kathy Plum,
581
00:35:30,820 --> 00:35:34,559
you're listening today to Bill, your
chum, you give me a call, tell us all
582
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,730
you're getting along. So you call in,
Kathy.
583
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:38,600
We'll be waiting for you right now.
584
00:35:40,220 --> 00:35:44,719
Mr. Jones, maybe I could be of more help
to you if I knew myself what was going
585
00:35:44,720 --> 00:35:45,770
on.
586
00:35:46,540 --> 00:35:50,439
Trust me that I don't want to trigger
somebody who may be with Kathy into
587
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:51,520
something desperate.
588
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:56,319
And trust me that I'll fill you in on
the whole story sometime when you're my
589
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:59,739
guest at the steakhouse of your choice.
With this lovely lady adorning
590
00:35:59,740 --> 00:36:00,800
Tableside, I hope.
591
00:36:01,900 --> 00:36:03,280
Fighting off your fan club.
592
00:36:03,281 --> 00:36:07,679
What a spiffy daughter -in -law you
have, Mr. Jones. May I suggest that you
593
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:09,840
maintain a close, vigilant watch.
594
00:36:15,980 --> 00:36:17,240
Do you think she'll call?
595
00:36:18,260 --> 00:36:19,310
Better question.
596
00:36:19,340 --> 00:36:20,390
Will she be able to?
597
00:36:29,260 --> 00:36:32,880
I don't see how we can prevent Jones
from talking to her. We can't.
598
00:36:33,660 --> 00:36:37,600
Our answer is to stop Kathy from
questioning the time that day.
599
00:36:37,601 --> 00:36:42,059
To prove to her that time and events
become distorted while under medication.
600
00:36:42,060 --> 00:36:45,310
I think the more we talk to her about
that day... We have to talk to her.
601
00:36:45,311 --> 00:36:49,459
I'll examine her arm when she wakes up,
be dissatisfied with the healing, and
602
00:36:49,460 --> 00:36:50,660
put her on a drug program.
603
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:55,700
Yeah, she'll be mildly hallucinating
even before she goes to sleep tonight.
604
00:36:56,260 --> 00:36:59,780
But that means her credibility will
really be questioned.
605
00:37:00,500 --> 00:37:01,820
Wouldn't Melford go free?
606
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:03,850
Highly doubtful.
607
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:07,960
As I told Jones, no one can imagine
something they've never seen before.
608
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:10,140
That little touch of mine.
609
00:37:11,100 --> 00:37:12,420
Buying Ellen that red robe.
610
00:37:15,500 --> 00:37:19,420
Well, enough of that jousting. All
right. I'm going to wait for my next
611
00:37:19,421 --> 00:37:23,339
You know, I still haven't heard from my
skiing chum who broke that lovely arm of
612
00:37:23,340 --> 00:37:28,419
hers, fending off the panting hordes,
admiring her triangular slalom up there
613
00:37:28,420 --> 00:37:29,379
the ski slopes.
614
00:37:29,380 --> 00:37:34,139
Where are you, Kathy Plum? This is
Billo, breaking my ten -day rule to hear
615
00:37:34,140 --> 00:37:37,800
dulcet tones telling my 40 million
listeners how you're coming along.
616
00:37:38,460 --> 00:37:40,320
Well, listen, by the way, you know...
617
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:44,919
I'm going to remind those 80 million
listeners right now to tell me this
618
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:49,580
afternoon what's the dirtiest trick that
your man ever played on you.
619
00:37:50,940 --> 00:37:53,410
Okay, I think I've got a live one here
standing by.
620
00:37:54,460 --> 00:37:59,259
Here we go. My next caller with a well
-justified beef on her nimble brain
621
00:37:59,260 --> 00:38:01,220
herself... Hi, Bill. This is Kathy.
622
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:06,679
Kathy, my dear girl, are you cheating on
your chump, Bill? I mean, here it is 15
623
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:09,819
minutes into the show, and I thought,
sure, you'd be my very first caller. I
624
00:38:09,820 --> 00:38:12,860
tuned in late. I'm sorry. I just heard
you say I could call.
625
00:38:12,861 --> 00:38:14,859
Forgive you this time, sweetheart.
626
00:38:14,860 --> 00:38:17,620
By the way, I'm now switching on my
magic viewer.
627
00:38:18,340 --> 00:38:22,300
Aha! You're going to have to clamber
down off the lap of that ski bum, honey.
628
00:38:22,720 --> 00:38:27,019
Dude will pick you up this afternoon up
there and act with a little more demure
629
00:38:27,020 --> 00:38:28,070
decorum.
630
00:38:28,460 --> 00:38:31,960
Oh, I'm nowhere near skiing country. My
arm is still in a cast.
631
00:38:31,961 --> 00:38:35,199
Are you getting plenty of exercise
otherwise, sweetheart? What are you
632
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,740
today to keep that lullaby bod of yours
in shape?
633
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:40,940
Well, some fishing after I take my nap.
Not much else.
634
00:38:40,941 --> 00:38:44,499
Fishing? You don't mean to tell Billo
that you're out on somebody's swank
635
00:38:44,500 --> 00:38:49,239
perhaps calling ship to shore, do you?
No, this is lake fishing from a swank
636
00:38:49,240 --> 00:38:53,299
rowboat. Well, Kathy Plum, we're going
to have to have a hasty station break
637
00:38:53,300 --> 00:38:54,700
here. We'll be right back.
638
00:38:57,640 --> 00:38:58,690
Do you want me to go?
639
00:38:58,860 --> 00:39:01,860
Keep her talking, but don't press her
for her location.
640
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:05,440
Fishing on the lake.
641
00:39:06,980 --> 00:39:09,440
It has to be the Ricker Summer Cottage.
642
00:39:10,140 --> 00:39:13,180
It's on Cove Road, last cottage. It's
right on the lake.
643
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:15,420
That's 20 minutes from here.
644
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:20,260
If you don't hear from me in 30 minutes,
call Lieutenant Biddle.
645
00:39:23,799 --> 00:39:27,169
Okay, Kathy, let's talk a little more
about that fishing business.
646
00:39:27,220 --> 00:39:31,240
No, really, I've always been a fishing
bug, especially for lake trout.
647
00:39:31,580 --> 00:39:37,940
Well, when my dad was alive, we used to
go... Who are you talking to?
648
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:40,860
The radio station, the talk show.
649
00:39:41,100 --> 00:39:42,840
Who gave you permission to do that?
650
00:39:44,260 --> 00:39:47,330
What? You were told to go to bed. What's
that talk about a lake?
651
00:39:51,460 --> 00:39:52,740
Well, there I go again.
652
00:39:52,741 --> 00:39:56,989
Yelling at my patients for disobeying
orders. It's a habit I've been trying to
653
00:39:56,990 --> 00:39:58,190
break myself of for ages.
654
00:39:58,890 --> 00:39:59,940
Forgive me, Kathy.
655
00:40:01,750 --> 00:40:04,910
But I do insist upon that nap.
656
00:40:06,750 --> 00:40:09,910
Here's a little something that will get
you to sleep.
657
00:40:19,450 --> 00:40:20,500
Here.
658
00:40:20,710 --> 00:40:22,760
This will make you sleep for an hour or
so.
659
00:40:23,410 --> 00:40:27,140
And then it's off to see if we dine on
fresh trout tonight. Wash it down, huh?
660
00:40:27,141 --> 00:40:30,429
I think I'll also have a little snooze
in the sun. That's something I haven't
661
00:40:30,430 --> 00:40:31,480
done for years.
662
00:40:32,250 --> 00:40:33,300
Be comfortable.
663
00:40:53,261 --> 00:40:57,829
She'll be asleep in two minutes. She
won't feel this.
664
00:40:57,830 --> 00:40:59,390
What effect will it have on her?
665
00:40:59,490 --> 00:41:00,540
She'll be docile.
666
00:41:00,541 --> 00:41:03,489
More dependent on you if she'll question
her judgment.
667
00:41:03,490 --> 00:41:06,140
It'll be weeks before her self
-confidence returns.
668
00:41:06,230 --> 00:41:08,520
By then, Jones will be long out of the
picture.
669
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:23,490
Kathy?
670
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:28,010
Kathy?
671
00:42:35,980 --> 00:42:37,780
Where's Kathy?
672
00:42:56,140 --> 00:42:57,190
Where is she?
673
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:01,020
She... She and Dr. Rickers took a walk.
674
00:43:01,340 --> 00:43:03,570
Probably on the other side of the lake
by now.
675
00:43:04,540 --> 00:43:05,590
Miss Hollister.
676
00:43:06,420 --> 00:43:11,339
I believe it will all soon be proved
that Kathy was drugged to the point she
677
00:43:11,340 --> 00:43:13,020
could no longer keep track of time.
678
00:43:13,021 --> 00:43:16,679
That you induced her to believe it was 2
o 'clock that day when it was much
679
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:17,730
earlier.
680
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:23,779
That it was just play acting that you
and Dr. Rickers performed on at his
681
00:43:23,780 --> 00:43:24,729
for her benefit.
682
00:43:24,730 --> 00:43:27,709
I don't know what you're talking about.
How long do you suppose it'll be before
683
00:43:27,710 --> 00:43:30,709
the police trace where that identical
sports coat was bought or where that
684
00:43:30,710 --> 00:43:31,850
blonde wig was bought?
685
00:43:32,490 --> 00:43:35,140
It's over, Miss Hollister. You can only
make it worse.
686
00:43:38,650 --> 00:43:39,790
She ran away from us.
687
00:43:40,210 --> 00:43:41,260
Into the woods.
688
00:43:42,090 --> 00:43:43,650
Dr. Rickers went looking for her.
689
00:43:44,410 --> 00:43:45,460
Mr. Jones?
690
00:43:48,610 --> 00:43:49,660
He's carrying a gun.
691
00:44:23,930 --> 00:44:25,910
Kathy? Are you imagining things again?
692
00:44:26,130 --> 00:44:27,270
You've been ill, Kathy.
693
00:44:27,490 --> 00:44:29,170
Much more so than you've been told.
694
00:44:29,470 --> 00:44:31,700
Nurse Hollister and I are trying to help
you.
695
00:44:56,149 --> 00:44:58,499
Jackie, why do you think we'd want to
hurt you?
696
00:44:58,930 --> 00:44:59,980
I don't know.
697
00:45:00,190 --> 00:45:03,150
Let's go down by the lake and just have
a nice quiet talk.
698
00:45:03,910 --> 00:45:06,410
No, please. Come on, down by the lake.
No, no, no.
699
00:45:06,460 --> 00:45:11,010
