Char Fontaine.

Tonight's episode, Echo of a Distant Battle.

Is that the man you were looking for?

Lee Anderson, but somebody else got to him first.

Any idea who?

No. What about why?

I wish I could tell you, Lieutenant, but I just don't know.

Barnaby, do you mind waiting out in the hall? I'll be right with you.

Sure.

Where's his girlfriend, Candy?

Her roommate picked her up. Lieutenant Biddle said she was free to go.

Does she have any idea who killed Henderson?

No. She knew something was troubling him. He just wouldn't talk about what.

She said he got restless and went to the gym. She went shopping. When she

returned home, somebody was inside beating him up. That's when she split.

He's still wearing his sweat clothes, so he probably left the gym in a hurry.

You know what, Jim?

Yeah, pops on Ocean and Pine.

Barnaby, it's not going to help your case with the DA's office any.

It's already been taken to your gun. Next, it'll be your business license.

Lieutenant, all I'm trying to do is locate Captain Colby Warner.

who was first listed as missing in action in Vietnam and later accused of

desertion and picked up in Saigon.

Now, you're positive Henderson had some connection with him? According to a

recent Army report, they escaped from a military stockade in Saigon together.

Then they dropped that aside. We finally located Henderson living under the name

of Jessop.

And before we could talk to him about Captain Warner, this happened.

This is the second killing.

You don't have to remind me, Lieutenant.

I can't get it out of my mind that I fired the shot that killed Kelly.

And even though it was an accident, it's something I'll have to carry with me

for the rest of my life.

All I'm trying to say is that this thing may be a whole lot bigger than you

thought. I can't argue that.

Somehow I feel it all ties in with Captain Warner's disappearance.

I didn't want to have to tell you this until I was sure, but... There's talk

that the DA's office is about ready to bring you before the grand jury.

Negligent homicide and Kelly's death.

Even if we can prove that Kelly wasn't an innocent bystander, that he's tied

into this somehow?

Can you prove that?

No, I need more time. But if they're going to put me out of business, I

got a chance.

All right.

I'll try talking to the D .A., but I can't promise you anything.

Thank you, Lieutenant.

That's all I could ask.

Barnaby.

Watch your step.

Good morning, darling.

Aren't these beautiful?

Yes, they are.

I have some bad news for you.

What's wrong?

I'm afraid I'm only human after all. I don't believe it. Yes, it's true. Gold

took a terrible plunge this morning. And now the paper says that the gnomes of

Zurich are predicting still worse things to come.

Oh, what gnomes know anyway.

They're just such funny little creatures.

Well, still, I ought to get to the office and check the situation out.

You left your briefcase in the den.

I'm going to the office now. Elliot, did you see the paper about a murder last

night?

Yes, I did. It's terrible. It seems like there's a new one every day.

Isn't that your friend?

The one who was looking over that car for you?

Harley.

Adrienne, do you know how many Harleys there must be in Los Angeles?

Anyway, his last name is Wilson, not Jessup. And he lives in the Valley, not

Culver City.

Anyway, you'll see. He'll be calling here any minute asking about that money

promised him last night.

I'm sorry. I just thought... You thought the worst, I know.

Listen, I have an idea.

Let's get away from here for a while.

Where? We'll go to Zurich.

I can check on the gold situation, and we'll turn it into a vacation.

We can work our way right down to the Greek islands.

When would you want to leave?

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow? But what about our party? I just sent out the invitations yesterday,

and I still have to meet with the caterers and the florists.

All right, all right.

It was a good idea, though, you have to admit.

It was a great idea.

Do I get a rain check?

Whenever you give the word.

Do I get a goodbye kiss?

Of course.

Hey,

I'm only going to the office.

I know.

So you'll never forget to come home.

I'll see you later.

That's him. See?

I told you Henderson wasn't alive.

You're lucky he wasn't. Otherwise, we never would have found the lieutenant.

I didn't mean to kill Henderson.

I tried to make a run for it. It was an accident.

It's over.

Okay.

The important thing now is to find out where the lieutenant has it hidden.

That kid's going to be Mr. America someday.

If this doesn't kill him first.

Now, who'd you ask me about?

Johnson? Jessup. Harley Jessup.

You sure he works out here? They have a lot of gyms in Santa Monica.

According to his girlfriend, he was here last night shortly before he was

murdered.

Murdered? That's right, Pop. Now, do you want to talk to us about it, or do you

want to talk to the police?

All right.

Maybe we'll see her.

He worked out and left about nine.

Alone?

With two men.

Who were they?

I don't know.

They came around earlier in the day and asked me if I knew them, and then they

told me to give them a call if he showed up.

They said they'd make it worth my while.

Remember the names?

I just got one of them.

John Smith.

I'd like you to take a look at this, see if you recognize any of them.

I don't know. My eyes ain't what they used to be.

Hey, wait a second.

These two.

They're a little younger here, but that's them.

Ron Curtis and Ted Parker.

The number that they gave you, do you still have it?

Threw it away last night.

But I remember it was a motel.

Remember the name?

Let me see.

Yeah.

Place called The Waveside in Santa Monica.

Thanks.

Did you find Curtis and Parker?

They checked out of the Wave Side Hotel a short time after the murder.

I want you to find out what you can about them. Where they live, what kind

work they do, everything.

All right, I'll get right on it. Dorothy and her father -in -law are waiting

inside. They said it was important.

Dorothy, Mr. Warner.

How long have you been here? I didn't know you were coming by.

Is anything wrong?

Barnaby, maybe Felix was right.

About what?

Maybe we should drop the search for my husband.

Why? What do you mean?

Henderson's dead, Mr. Jones.

Yes, and the fact that he was murdered seems to indicate we were coming up on

something. Barnaby, he's our only link with my husband.

What are we going to do, start all over again?

No, I don't think so.

I have reason to believe that Henderson was murdered by two of his Vietnam

buddies, Curtis and Parker, and all we have to do is find them. And suppose we

don't? You know how long it took to find Henderson?

But, Mr. Warner, it's more difficult for two people to hide than one, and I'll

find them.

Are you saying this for our benefit, Mr. Jones, or for your own?

I don't understand.

We know the trouble you're in with the district attorney.

Are you really trying to find my son or to save your own neck?

Dad! It's all right, Dorothy.

Mr. Warner, I've thought about that.

I've thought about it quite a lot.

I'd be lying if I didn't say that, uh... I am concerned about what might happen

to me, but I'm more concerned about finding your son, and that's the truth.

Dorothy, the other day, you asked me to stay on the case, remember?

Now I'm asking you to keep me on it.

What do you say?

Let's go to work.

Not yet.

How about you? The big fat zero.

Try to add it?

Yeah, I checked everywhere.

Ron, it's been five years. How do we even know it's here?

We don't.

But it's got to be somewhere.

I've checked those walls over there.

Maybe...

I'm on my way to the marina to meet a client. You want to meet me for lunch?

Oh, I'd love to, but the electricians are here, and I don't want to leave them

in the house alone.

Electricians? What electricians?

Well, the ones you hired to fix the short in the house.

Adrienne, what short?

Well, I don't know. I thought maybe you found some trouble in the wiring.

Elliot, remember last summer how the air conditioner kept going out?

Well, I thought you called someone in to look at it.

Didn't you?

No.

Hmm, that's strange.

Elliot, hold on. They're just leaving.

Excuse me.

Wait a second. I have to talk to you.

What seems to be the problem?

Well, we couldn't find any, ma 'am. That doesn't surprise me. I think you came

to the wrong house.

What do you mean?

My husband didn't hire you, and I know I didn't. Well, somebody sure did. I have

the work order right here.

That's impossible.

Well, look for yourself. Mr. Elliot Rexford, 139 Cascade Drive. Check

wiring for possible short.

I'm telling you, there has to be some mistake.

Well, I don't know what to tell you, ma 'am. We just go where they send us.

Have a nice day.

What did you find out?

Well, I'm not sure. They had a work order with their name on it, but their

did not have the name of the company on it, and neither did the work order.

Adrienne, what did they look like?

Oh, one was blonde and had blue eyes, and the other was tall and white.

Do you know them?

No, no, of course not. Uh, wait a minute.

Yes, I must be losing my mind. I remember calling them about a month ago.

They sure took their time getting there.

Elliot, I don't believe you.

I don't believe myself. Imagine forgetting a thing like that.

That's not what I mean.

Something's wrong, Elliot. I know it. Who were those men?

They were electricians. I have the name of the company somewhere back at the

office. You're lying to me.

Please, please tell me what's wrong.

Nothing is wrong, darling.

The price of gold went down this morning, but that's not the end of the

I'll see you later.

Well, I didn't realize you were this interested in the dance.

What do you got?

Well, I stopped by Candy's place earlier to find out how she was taking

Henderson's death, you know?

Her roommate told me she'd gone back to work.

Well, this isn't what you got me down here for, is it?

No, no, no.

Um, I just talked to her.

She said that a few minutes after she got here, this woman called and said

she had to see her. It was very important.

Did she say what it was about?

Jessup. The woman said that she just wanted to ask her a few questions about

him, but she couldn't go into it over the phone.

What did Candy say?

Well, first she hung up.

Then the woman called back, began pleading with her.

First she said she'd take her to lunch, then she'd pay her for her time.

Finally, Candy said she'd meet her.

Did the woman mention her name?

No, but she's on her way down here right now, Barnaby. I thought you'd want to

be here.

How's life treating you, Lieutenant?

You don't look too happy to see us.

Get in the car.

Get in the car, slick, and drive.

guys feel? You think I pulled a fast one and ran out on you?

But I gotta tell you, that shipment never got here.

Somebody in Saigon double -crossed all of us. They must have seen us coming.

Five marks in search of a stink.

Well, somebody got rich, huh?

They sure did.

You?

No, no.

Although I haven't done too badly, I have to admit.

We saw your house, Lieutenant.

Not my house, Parker. My wife's house.

Everything I have is really hers.

Like I always said, next best thing to being born rich is to marry somebody

rich.

I tell you what, I think I might be able to come up with a few grand for you

guys for old time's sake.

Tell you what, let's make it an even five. What do you say?

Turn left up there.

All right, all right. How much do you want?

Turn left there, I said.

Get out.

You're making a big mistake. Come on.

The shipment never arrived here, you know. That's not what Henderson said.

Henderson was lying.

Don't you get it?

Henderson double -crossed all of us.

On your knees.

What? You heard him. Get down on your knees.

Now, you remember the way we used to do it in NAM, Lieutenant, when we weren't

getting the right answers?

Of course he does.

He's the one who taught us, right?

Wait. You used to get him down on their knees, and then you'd cock your pistol,

and then you'd ask him one last time, nice and clear, just so they'd

And if you still weren't getting the right answer, Lieutenant, you'd squeeze

that trigger.

I told you.

Remember how we always got the right answer, Lieutenant?

Where did you hide it?

I didn't.

That's the wrong answer, Lieutenant.

I buried it.

Where?

You'll never be able to find it, Al.

I'll have to take you there.

All right, come on.

I want to thank you for seeing me.

Can I buy you a drink?

No. Just tell me what you want to know about Harley.

I haven't got much time.

Do you have a picture of him?

Picture?

At home, not on me.

Well, then if you could tell me what he looked like.

I mean, um, was he tall?

Yeah, I guess so.

Maybe six feet.

And muscular?

Well, sure.

He worked out all the time.

And did he have brown hair?

Look, what's this all about?

Who are you? Please, please, it's important.

Yes, he had brown hair and beautiful green eyes and a nice smile.

Now, why do you want to know these things?

I can't tell you that, Candy.

Well, then we've just finished, lady.

Please, if I could just see that picture you have at home, would you just leave

me alone?

Is this the man you're interested in?

Could have fooled me.

Who are you?

My name is Barnaby Jones.

This is Jedediah Jones. And you seem to be a lady who is into something way over

her head.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Well, then why are you so interested in Harley Jessup?

I'm not anymore.

I had him confused with someone else.

But now that I've seen his picture... Whose picture? This?

Well, this isn't Jessup.

But you just said...

No, you said.

I showed you the picture, and you assumed it was Jessup. Why?

If you'd never seen him before.

Well, that was a normal assumption.

Well, this man's name is Lee Henderson, and you're right, you're right. He

changed his name to Harley Jessup a few years ago.

You're just trying to confuse me.

No, I'm just trying to make some sense out of this. Now, I'm looking for a man

named Captain Colby Warner.

who disappeared from a military stockade in Saigon.

You ever hear of him?

No. You see, somehow Henderson is tied up in all of this, along with a man

William Kelly and two other men named Parker and Curtis.

I assume you've never heard of them either.

No, never.

Now there's you.

The picture keeps getting bigger, and I don't even know your name.

I told you it was just a big mistake on my part. I have nothing to do with this.

Then you don't mind telling us who you are?

Please. I don't feel very well.

I have to find the ladies room.

I'll be right back.

Barnaby, she is not coming back.

We'll share a circle right away.

I think we can catch him, Barnaby.

Come on, move it!

Forget it, Jedediah. We've lost her.

All right, where is it?

It's over there, under those rocks.

Come on, Lieutenant.

Give him a hand.

Don't try anything swift, or we'll leave you out here for the coyote to play

with.

Don't worry about me.

I always know when I've been outmaneuvered.

That's the secret to a long and healthy life.

You were just saving our share for us anyway, weren't you, Lieutenant?

I always look out for my team, Parker.

Well, where is it?

You're kneeling on it.

Come on, give me a hand. It's here.

This is where you think you're going, Lieutenant.

I'm just going to get a little shade, if it's okay with you.

Just don't go too far.

Come on, give me a hand.

It's okay.

You're going to be all right.

Trap.

Lousy, stinking trap.

pay for this lieutenant.

Well, between Curtis and Parker, I'd say that Curtis was definitely the stronger

personality. Parker was more the silent type, the follower.

You know, if there was ever... Any animosity between them and Henderson?

Well, in a war like Vietnam, everyone's at each other's throat sometime or

another, but generally they were all buddies.

I suppose they fell out later on.

Yeah, I guess so.

And then there was one.

What? This photograph.

Every man in it has been accounted for except one.

Collins was killed in battle.

Kelly and Henderson are dead.

Curtis... and Parker are still around somewhere. The only one who's still a

mystery is this one.

Barnaby, I told you, not every soldier in Vietnam was a member of the Wild

Bunch.

Yeah, I know, Major.

Must be our lucky day.

I found some lemonade that's made with real, honest -to -goodness lemons.

I didn't think they made it that way anymore.

Neither did I.

Oh, Barnaby, there's a call for you in the office. It's Betty.

Oh, thank you. And save some of that for me. Okay.

Well, this is my lucky day.

You got the test results?

Just came through.

What did the doctor say?

I know it's good news.

Tell me.

Well, I won't be playing for the Lakers after all, but the bone disease due to

the paralysis appears to be under control.

Come on, at least I expected congratulations.

You're gonna have me crying in a minute.

Yes, Betty, what'd you find out?

Well, I finally got through to the National Personnel Records Center in St.

Louis. They gave me both Curtis's and Parker's addresses in Kansas City.

That's where William Kelly was from.

I know.

Anyway, I managed to reach Curtis's wife at home, and she told me her husband

was... away on business.

At first, she refused to tell me where, but when I said that I was from an

insurance agency and it was very important that I talk to him, she said

spoke to him early this morning and he gave her a number here in Los Angeles to

call in case of an emergency.

You are a wonder, Betty.

I do my best.

Did you check out the number?

It's the Delmonico Motel, 91721 Venice Boulevard.

I am leaving now. Tell Jedediah to meet me there.

Thank you very much.

And roommate.

Did the manager see if they were in?

She didn't know.

Barnaby, did you hear that?

Sounded like somebody groaning.

Look at that.

That's blood.

Oh, could you open the door, please?

There's somebody hurt in there.

to get an ambulance.

How did it happen, Parker?

Booby trap.

What?

Triggered.

Booby trap.

God, it hurts so much.

Help me, please.

Yeah, it's on the way.

Can I have the paramedics, please?

Yeah, that's right. The Delmonico Motel.

Thank you.

Where's Curtis, Parker?

Did he go for help?

It hurts.

It hurts so much.

Is he dead?

I think he just passed out.

Did he say how it happened?

He said something about a booby trap.

Booby trap?

Maybe he was confused with Vietnam.

It's possible.

I don't think so.

I'd say that he's got an internal injury.

What'd you find?

Looks like a work order.

Check electrical wiring for short.

Is there a name on it?

Mr. Elliot Rexford.

Elliot, you have to tell me what's going on.

I don't know whether I can trust you or not.

Adrienne, what are you talking about?

That man who was killed last night. Harley Jessup.

That's the same man who worked for you.

Adrian, I give you my word. Elliot, I saw his picture.

I know it's the same man.

What picture?

I went to see his girlfriend today.

You did what?

I had to find out the truth.

There was a private detective there by the name of Barnaby Jones.

And he had a picture of Jeff.

And it was the same man.

And this Jones, what did he say to you?

He said something about looking for Captain Warner and that... that Jessup

some others were tied in with his disappearance.

And he wanted to know where I fit in.

And what did you tell him?

Nothing. Because I don't know where you fit in.

That's just the point, Adrienne. I don't fit in.

And neither do you.

Look, there's been some terrible misunderstanding between us.

All right, now here's the truth.

Harley Jessup did work for me. But I promise you, and you've got to believe

I don't know anything about his past.

Then why did you lie to me?

Because I didn't want to worry you.

Is there something wrong with that?

And the electrician? Now, that was the truth.

I phoned him about a month ago, and it just slipped my mind.

Hasn't that ever happened to you?

You know it has.

And did I say you were lying to me, and I could never trust you again?

No.

All right, then.

I rest my case.

How does the jury find me?

Something wrong?

It's that private detective I told you about Jones.

What does he want here?

I didn't even tell him who I was. Better not let him see you. I'll get rid of

him. But Elliot... Adrienne, I know what's best. All right?

Mr. Rexford? Yes.

I'm a private investigator, Barnaby Jones.

I wonder if I can have a talk with you. What about?

It concerns a case I'm working on. I certainly would appreciate it. I was

on my way out.

Well, this won't take long at all.

My, what a beautiful home you have here. Yes, it's comfortable.

Now, what can I do for you? Sorry to bother you. Your gate was open.

You know a couple of men named Ron Curtis and Ted Parker?

No. Why?

Well, maybe if I showed you their pictures, it might refresh your memory.

They're the two on the left.

No, I don't know either one of them. I don't know any of these men, as a matter

of fact.

Tell me, how did you happen to come to me about this?

Your name and address was on this work order, which I found in their room.

All right.

All right, now this thing begins to make a little sense.

In what way? Mr. Jones, you may have done me a big favor.

Two men came here this morning. They said they were electricians and they

to check the wiring. My wife let them in because she thought I'd hired them.

Your wife here now?

No, she went up to Santa Barbara to see her family.

But it's obvious what they were doing.

They were casing the house for a burglary. That's how they operate, isn't

Sometimes. Well, now that I know their names, I'm going to call the police.

That was, uh, Curtis and, uh... Parker.

Ted Parker.

Well, thank you very much for your time, Mr. Exford. I'll be going.

Well, thanks for stopping by.

Mr. Exford,

we ever meet before?

No, I don't think so.

I guess you're right.

Please, Elliot, no more lies.

I think I'll make us both a drink.

I don't want a drink.

I want the truth.

Adrienne, I've got to leave.

What do you mean you're leaving?

I've got to.

What about me?

You'll come with me.

I can't.

Not until you tell me what's going on.

Isn't it enough to know that I love you more than anything else in the world?

No.

Not if I can't have your truck, too.

I'd go anywhere with you, Elliot, right now.

But I can't spend the rest of my life in the dark with a man I don't really

know.

Sorry, Elliot.

I am too.

But I don't have any other choice.

I better pack.

Hello.

Lieutenant.

There's just the two of us now.

I just want you to understand that I don't care about my share.

I just want you.

That him?

Take away the mustache, and I would say we have here the missing link.

Major Scott, I'd like you to take a look at this.

Recognize him now?

Yes.

Lieutenant Maxwell.

Damon Maxwell.

You sure?

Positive.

Everyone over there knew Maxwell. He was kind of a character.

Why do you say that?

Well, he was strange.

He was very bright, personable, kind of a man that seemed to have everything

going for him, and yet there was something missing inside.

It felt like he was born without morals.

Then he was one of the Wild Bunch.

No, not really.

They looked up to him, but he was into something much bigger.

Like what?

There was never enough evidence to prove anything, but Maxwell was suspected of

masterminding the death of a Vietnamese general by the name of Lowell Tien.

The general was taking off from this deserted field when his helicopter blew

Both he and his pilot were killed.

What was Maxwell's motive?

It seems that the general himself was under suspicion by U .S. intelligence.

Of what?

Smuggling gold out of Vietnam.

It was even believed that there was three million in gold bullion with him

he was killed.

And if so, the gold was never found. And as for Lieutenant Maxwell, well, if he

was guilty, there's a higher justice somewhere.

Why do you say that?

Because he was later killed in the same battle Colby was in.

In fact, if I'm not mistaken, he's buried right here in the VA cemetery.

I think I have the answer to this one.

But I want to hear it from a military man to be sure.

How did they identify the dead in Vietnam?

Same way they always identify them with their dog tags.

Right.

Barnaby, what do you think?

I'm not 100 % sure.

But I know one thing.

Lieutenant Maxwell is very much alive and living under the name of Elliot

Rexford. Are you sure?

I just talked to him.

How is that possible?

One way would be to have switched dog tags with someone else who was killed on

the battlefield.

My God.

My husband.

There is that possibility, Dorothy.

That would mean it's Colby who's buried at the cemetery.

But you don't know for sure, Barnaby.

That's one of the things I have to find out.

Let's go, Jedediah.

Mr. Rexford, I saw the warehouse truck leave. Is this what you've been waiting

for? Yeah.

Get it on board the plane and tell the pilot to stand by. Yes, sir.

Hello?

Adrienne?

I love you so much.

I love you very much too, Elliot.

Then come with me.

I promise I'll explain everything on the way.

I want to be with you very much.

Then say you'll come.

All right.

Yes. Where are you?

I'm at Palisades Airport.

It won't take you long. Hurry.

I know where that is. I just have to pack a few things.

I love you, Elliot.

I wouldn't worry about packing.

Come on.

Hornby, hold it.

I see them.

Curtis and Mrs.

Rexford.

Looks like he has a gun, Hornby.

Let's see where he's taking her.

Elliot, I didn't know he was at the house.

Couldn't play it straight, could you, Lieutenant?

All right, Curtis, you win.

Oh, I've heard that one before.

So did Parker.

This is different.

Look, there's the gold.

There's $2 million left.

Take it. My pilot will fly you any place you want to go.

That's very generous of you, but I want something else.

What is it? Just name it.

Peace of mind.

And that means getting rid of you.

Now get over in that hangar, both of you.

it i'm sorry you had nothing to do with this this is all my fault come on come

on curtis she's the only thing in the world that means anything to me do

whatever you want with me but let her go move it move it come on

Sure wish you had your gun there, buddy.

Tell that to the DA.

Right here, right here.

It doesn't make any sense killing her. She's a witness.

She won't talk.

I can't take the chance, Lieutenant.

Curtis?

You gonna kill me, too?

Yeah, you must be Jones.

That's right.

And I must admit that for a time, this case had me going around in circles, but

I think I finally figured it out.

Rexford here, or rather, Lieutenant Maxwell, masterminded the helicopter

explosion which killed General Tien.

With the help of the wild bunch, stole the gold.

What did he tell you, Curtis, that when the shipment arrived, he would contact

you and you would all split it up?

Yeah, that's right.

But he never did.

Now, about Captain Warner.

What did you do, Lieutenant?

Find his body on the battlefield, switch dog tags so that you'd be listed as

killed in action?

Elliot.

Not a pretty picture, is it, Mrs. Rexford?

Your husband and Henderson were picked up later in Saigon, charged with

desertion. Somehow they managed to escape before his true identity was

discovered. And it all went on Captain Warner's record.

So, once back here, all they had to do was pick up the gold, change to a new

identity, Elliot Rexford, and come into your life.

All right, that's enough.

That's enough for everybody.

Robert Curtis?

Kick it to me.

Kick it to me.

I'll call Lieutenant Biddle.

And lastly, to his wife, his father, his friends, I say to them,

Captain Colby Warner was a good and dedicated officer.

He died with his men, fighting for the country he truly believed in and loved.

And thus he died a soldier's death.

I'd hoped the search would end someplace else, Barnaby.

But at least it's ended.

You're free to go and live your own life, and I'm sure that's the way he

it.

Barnaby, remember I said Vietnam wasn't the kind of a war that produced heroes?

Yes.

I think I was wrong.

Maybe the hero was just the average soldier doing a job he didn't really

understand. You ought to put that in your book.

I think I will.

Maybe Dorothy will help me.

Now, Barnaby, before I left the office, Lieutenant Biddle called.

The district attorney is dropping the charges against you.

That's good news, Betty.

I'll tell you something, Barnaby.

It's the only thing about this case that doesn't surprise me.
