Tonight's episode, Man on Fire.
8
00:01:40,610 --> 00:01:41,810
Sure. I love it.
9
00:01:42,190 --> 00:01:44,150
I love all your designs for this season.
10
00:01:44,410 --> 00:01:45,950
I just can't sell them.
11
00:01:46,170 --> 00:01:47,410
Not to the volume houses.
12
00:01:47,750 --> 00:01:50,580
I keep telling you, Harry, hit the high
fashion outlets.
13
00:01:50,590 --> 00:01:52,270
The volume boys will come begging.
14
00:01:52,271 --> 00:01:54,509
Will you guys call it a truce for
tonight?
15
00:01:54,510 --> 00:01:56,450
I'm starving. You can dress now, Cindy.
16
00:01:56,650 --> 00:01:57,730
Sorry we kept you late.
17
00:01:57,731 --> 00:01:59,449
That's okay. Don't worry about it.
18
00:01:59,450 --> 00:02:02,069
Besides, your partner here is going to
take me out to dinner tonight.
19
00:02:02,070 --> 00:02:04,180
We're going to have caviar and
champagne.
20
00:02:04,670 --> 00:02:05,990
And I'll see you in a minute.
21
00:02:09,770 --> 00:02:11,350
I like that girl, Chris.
22
00:02:11,670 --> 00:02:14,980
Why don't you marry her? I have enough
problems with the business.
23
00:02:14,981 --> 00:02:18,029
We're in real trouble, aren't we?
24
00:02:18,030 --> 00:02:19,250
You know as well as I.
25
00:02:19,251 --> 00:02:21,669
Everything's riding on this season.
26
00:02:21,670 --> 00:02:25,010
We could even lose our building if I
can't move the line. Come on.
27
00:02:25,230 --> 00:02:28,710
If a girl can wear it, you can sell it.
Including the rags I designed.
28
00:02:29,010 --> 00:02:30,450
To the high class trade, sure.
29
00:02:30,750 --> 00:02:33,460
But I've geared up our production for
the mass market.
30
00:02:33,610 --> 00:02:35,850
I mean, your stuff's too classy. Hey,
Harry.
31
00:02:36,610 --> 00:02:38,810
Yell at me. But don't throw in the
towel.
32
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,800
I'll rework the designs. I won't let you
down.
33
00:02:42,020 --> 00:02:45,200
Chris, it's a little too late for new
designs.
34
00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:48,160
All we need now is a small miracle.
35
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:50,290
I'm ready.
36
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:55,820
Oh, now, don't let me spoil your dinner.
Now, let's lock up and get out of here.
37
00:05:30,291 --> 00:05:32,139
Hi, Barnaby.
38
00:05:32,140 --> 00:05:33,660
Oh, Gil. Hey, Barnaby.
39
00:05:33,661 --> 00:05:36,039
The life insurance boy said you'd be
around.
40
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:40,659
Jim, when I heard that you were the fire
insurance agent, I knew that you would
41
00:05:40,660 --> 00:05:43,130
want to conduct your own investigation
as usual.
42
00:05:43,380 --> 00:05:47,779
So I told him to save my fee and just
accept your report. Jim reads ashes with
43
00:05:47,780 --> 00:05:49,400
the best of them, that's for sure.
44
00:05:49,620 --> 00:05:50,670
What do you got?
45
00:05:50,860 --> 00:05:54,480
Well, only one thing's sure. The fire
started at 8 .32 last night.
46
00:05:54,481 --> 00:05:56,699
Looks like you located the seat of the
fire.
47
00:05:56,700 --> 00:05:57,960
Well, no, I didn't. Gil did.
48
00:05:58,220 --> 00:06:01,170
I was over there checking out where
Alden's body was found.
49
00:06:01,270 --> 00:06:02,470
Any idea how it started?
50
00:06:02,471 --> 00:06:05,669
Well, it's shaping up as an accidental.
They kept the bottle of cleaning fluid
51
00:06:05,670 --> 00:06:08,449
here, and Gil found what was left of the
metal ashtray in a pile of broken
52
00:06:08,450 --> 00:06:09,950
glass. Smoldering cigarette?
53
00:06:10,550 --> 00:06:11,690
Yeah, it looks that way.
54
00:06:11,950 --> 00:06:13,510
Is that where they found Alden?
55
00:06:13,610 --> 00:06:15,600
Yeah, here. Come on. Step right over
here.
56
00:06:17,890 --> 00:06:23,929
Well, he probably heard the bottle
shatter, but the fire was out of control
57
00:06:23,930 --> 00:06:25,069
he got here. I don't know.
58
00:06:25,070 --> 00:06:28,929
M .E.'s office said he had a gash on the
side of his head, but death was due to
59
00:06:28,930 --> 00:06:29,980
smoke inhalation.
60
00:06:29,981 --> 00:06:34,519
Well, they must have fallen trying to
extinguish the flames. Hit his head,
61
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:35,570
too weak to get out.
62
00:06:43,100 --> 00:06:48,380
What is it?
63
00:06:49,260 --> 00:06:50,310
I don't know.
64
00:06:51,100 --> 00:06:53,660
Looks like another deep burn pattern
here.
65
00:06:53,980 --> 00:06:55,180
Did you find something?
66
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,120
Yeah, maybe a second seat of the fire.
67
00:06:58,100 --> 00:07:01,170
Looks like something inflammable
saturated the floor here.
68
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,960
Could be benzene or naphtha.
69
00:07:04,660 --> 00:07:06,520
I thought you said this area was clean.
70
00:07:07,340 --> 00:07:09,080
Yeah, I better have my eyes checked.
71
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,770
Oh, I'll run this through the lab, but
that burn pattern is pretty clear.
72
00:07:13,100 --> 00:07:15,810
And there's only one way you start a
fire in two places.
73
00:07:20,780 --> 00:07:21,830
Mars?
74
00:07:22,980 --> 00:07:26,859
You know, Barnaby, if this proves out in
the lab, I came real close to blowing
75
00:07:26,860 --> 00:07:28,600
this one up, too. I'm terribly sorry.
76
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:29,900
Ah, it could happen.
77
00:07:30,380 --> 00:07:31,440
All this junk around.
78
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:33,970
Bill?
79
00:07:43,020 --> 00:07:44,070
What?
80
00:07:44,071 --> 00:07:47,539
I'm awfully sorry to bother you at a
time like this. I know you've probably
81
00:07:47,540 --> 00:07:49,100
heard about Christopher Alden.
82
00:07:49,300 --> 00:07:50,860
Who are you and what do you want?
83
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:52,400
My name is J .R. Jones.
84
00:07:52,401 --> 00:07:56,079
I'm investigating the Norell Swimwear
fire for the insurance company.
85
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,910
Harry Norton, his partner, called me a
little while ago.
86
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,090
Poor Harry.
87
00:08:01,180 --> 00:08:02,800
He could hardly get the words out.
88
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,380
Two guys, they really loved each other.
89
00:08:05,940 --> 00:08:07,020
I'm really very sorry.
90
00:08:09,220 --> 00:08:10,420
What do you want to know?
91
00:08:10,421 --> 00:08:13,719
Well, I'd like just some background
information for the report. Can you tell
92
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,760
how long Norton and Alden were partners?
93
00:08:16,300 --> 00:08:17,620
About three years, I think.
94
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,670
What kind of shape was the company in
financially?
95
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:22,640
What difference does that make now?
96
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:24,330
Well, maybe a lot.
97
00:08:24,331 --> 00:08:27,969
You see, there's a possibility that the
fire could have been started on purpose,
98
00:08:27,970 --> 00:08:29,890
which would make Alden a prime suspect.
99
00:08:30,050 --> 00:08:31,100
What do you mean?
100
00:08:31,410 --> 00:08:32,809
He died in that fire.
101
00:08:32,810 --> 00:08:36,308
I'm sorry, but he could have been
trapped in his own fire. Now, if he had
102
00:08:36,309 --> 00:08:38,749
reason to start it, we've got to find
out what it was.
103
00:08:38,750 --> 00:08:41,428
Why should I make you a hero to some
insurance company?
104
00:08:41,429 --> 00:08:44,349
Look, I'm just after the truth here. For
all I know, the truth could even clear
105
00:08:44,350 --> 00:08:46,090
Alden. I doubt it.
106
00:08:46,630 --> 00:08:48,130
The company was going broke.
107
00:08:48,131 --> 00:08:51,049
That's what you wanted to hear, is it?
108
00:08:51,050 --> 00:08:52,250
Did Alden tell you that?
109
00:08:52,460 --> 00:08:54,220
No, Harry did. I heard them arguing.
110
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:56,010
When was that?
111
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:57,090
Yesterday.
112
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,450
Harry even called my place last night to
apologize to Chris.
113
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,460
But Chris had already left for Norell.
114
00:09:03,461 --> 00:09:07,019
Exactly what did Norton say about the
company's finances?
115
00:09:07,020 --> 00:09:09,190
One more bad season and they'd go
bankrupt.
116
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:10,880
He felt that this was it.
117
00:09:10,881 --> 00:09:14,079
What do you think if the company
actually won another season? I'm sorry.
118
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,190
I really can't answer any more
questions.
119
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,110
I understand Mr. Olin was working on the
night of the fire.
120
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,040
Did he usually work at night?
121
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,020
In the rag business, you do whatever it
takes.
122
00:09:32,100 --> 00:09:33,760
Especially a partner like Chris.
123
00:09:34,020 --> 00:09:38,559
You and your partner carried $300 ,000
worth of partnership life insurance on
124
00:09:38,560 --> 00:09:39,610
each other.
125
00:09:39,620 --> 00:09:44,179
That type of policy is usually meant to
see that the business carries on in case
126
00:09:44,180 --> 00:09:45,659
something happens to one of the
partners.
127
00:09:45,660 --> 00:09:46,840
Looks good on paper.
128
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:51,700
But believe me, you can't replace a
person with money.
129
00:09:52,940 --> 00:09:54,560
Especially an artist like Chris.
130
00:09:55,500 --> 00:10:00,859
According to your insurance files, you
and Mr. Alden owned all of the assets of
131
00:10:00,860 --> 00:10:04,239
your company. There wasn't a loan on the
equipment, not even a mortgage on the
132
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,300
building. We put every dime we had into
the business.
133
00:10:08,180 --> 00:10:13,860
You know, this fire is the story of my
life. A parlay from all to nothing.
134
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:15,500
And things look pretty good.
135
00:10:15,501 --> 00:10:16,399
Oh, yeah.
136
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:17,580
Things were looking up.
137
00:10:17,581 --> 00:10:20,339
We thought we were going to have a
pretty good season.
138
00:10:20,340 --> 00:10:22,100
Did Mr. Alden feel the same way?
139
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:25,380
Sure. Why not?
140
00:10:25,700 --> 00:10:31,059
There was a suggestion of arson at the
scene of the fire that your partner may
141
00:10:31,060 --> 00:10:33,170
have said it himself and got trapped in
it.
142
00:10:34,460 --> 00:10:35,510
That's crazy.
143
00:10:37,220 --> 00:10:40,900
He had no reason to do anything like
that.
144
00:10:41,100 --> 00:10:44,839
I hope you're right, because as you
probably know, if he had died in a
145
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,630
commission of a felony, then his life
insurance would have become invalid.
146
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:51,410
I'll be in touch.
147
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,520
Ruth, your garden is as beautiful as
ever.
148
00:11:18,060 --> 00:11:19,800
But it doesn't hold a candle to you.
149
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,330
Well, my mirror tells me different
things.
150
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,080
True beauty is never revealed in a
mirror.
151
00:11:25,820 --> 00:11:26,870
How do you feel?
152
00:11:26,940 --> 00:11:28,800
Look at you, worried about me.
153
00:11:29,540 --> 00:11:32,140
Well, don't be. I'm getting better every
day.
154
00:11:32,460 --> 00:11:33,510
Good. Voila!
155
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:35,120
Lunch is served.
156
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,700
Oh, set another place, Jim. Look who's
here.
157
00:11:38,060 --> 00:11:39,110
Hey, Barnaby.
158
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,140
It's humble fare, but good company.
159
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:42,450
Pull up a seat.
160
00:11:42,650 --> 00:11:45,780
Thank you, but I'm afraid I'm going to
have to take a rain check.
161
00:11:45,790 --> 00:11:49,650
However, this lemonade looks so good, I
could use a glass of that.
162
00:11:50,170 --> 00:11:54,950
Just came from California Meridian. Went
over all the morale policies.
163
00:11:55,490 --> 00:11:59,890
Your secretary told me that you would be
over here fixing lunch for Ruth.
164
00:12:00,510 --> 00:12:02,830
Well, I've been out in the field all
morning.
165
00:12:03,530 --> 00:12:05,130
Any word from the arson squad?
166
00:12:05,790 --> 00:12:10,709
The lab results indicate the fire had
two seats, since the floor had a high
167
00:12:10,710 --> 00:12:13,170
penetration of cleaning fluid in both
places.
168
00:12:14,210 --> 00:12:16,560
Sounds like we've got ourselves an arson
case.
169
00:12:17,230 --> 00:12:18,670
Do y 'all have any new angles?
170
00:12:19,230 --> 00:12:22,510
No, that's why he thinks that Alden did
it.
171
00:12:22,770 --> 00:12:23,820
Chris Alden?
172
00:12:24,270 --> 00:12:25,320
That's crazy.
173
00:12:25,950 --> 00:12:27,870
I mean, do you agree with that?
174
00:12:28,070 --> 00:12:32,109
Well, it's a little too early to say.
There was nothing in his insurance files
175
00:12:32,110 --> 00:12:33,790
that looked suspicious, but...
176
00:12:33,791 --> 00:12:36,939
There are a few leads that I haven't
checked out yet.
177
00:12:36,940 --> 00:12:39,479
You know, Barnaby, you and Gil are my
close friends.
178
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:43,379
But I think that blaming it on a dead
man sounds like an easy way to crack the
179
00:12:43,380 --> 00:12:44,179
case to me.
180
00:12:44,180 --> 00:12:45,620
Jim! It's all right, Ruth.
181
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,680
Gil is just working on facts.
182
00:12:49,300 --> 00:12:52,970
But so far, there's been no evidence
that there was anyone else involved.
183
00:12:52,971 --> 00:12:56,919
Well, it'll take more than that to make
me challenge the case.
184
00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,699
You know, Barnaby, I don't like to see
California Meridian take a loss, but I
185
00:13:00,700 --> 00:13:04,300
feel a responsibility to my clients who
pay the premiums.
186
00:13:04,301 --> 00:13:08,299
Yeah, that's why you're the company's
number one agent. Yeah, I've got to be
187
00:13:08,300 --> 00:13:11,759
going. Thank you very much. I'll be
seeing you again soon, Ruth. I'll count
188
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:13,620
it. I'll be back in a minute. Okay.
189
00:13:15,841 --> 00:13:22,909
You know, Barnaby, if I seem a bit
uptight, it's because I keep remembering
190
00:13:22,910 --> 00:13:26,250
full of life Ruth used to be. I
shouldn't let it affect my work.
191
00:13:26,490 --> 00:13:28,070
I wish you'd take some time off.
192
00:13:28,330 --> 00:13:30,530
It would do the both of you a lot of
good.
193
00:13:30,830 --> 00:13:32,270
Let me handle the case for you.
194
00:13:32,271 --> 00:13:33,489
Can't do that.
195
00:13:33,490 --> 00:13:36,850
Why not? You'd do the same for me. I'd
go crazy just sitting around.
196
00:13:37,110 --> 00:13:38,250
Ruth understands that.
197
00:13:39,130 --> 00:13:40,990
Besides, I still have to make a dollar.
198
00:13:40,991 --> 00:13:44,389
Even with the insurance policy, you
can't believe the medical bills are
199
00:13:44,390 --> 00:13:45,440
absolutely unreal.
200
00:13:45,910 --> 00:13:48,620
Well, if you change your mind, the offer
still stands.
201
00:13:49,420 --> 00:13:50,470
Thanks.
202
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:02,300
Hello? Fox, your man blew it good.
203
00:14:03,100 --> 00:14:08,799
First, my partner dies in the fire, and
some private eye named Jones comes over
204
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:09,940
here talking about us?
205
00:14:10,180 --> 00:14:14,699
Would you just take it easy, Norton?
Just take it easy? My God, man, I caused
206
00:14:14,700 --> 00:14:15,750
partner's death.
207
00:14:16,620 --> 00:14:18,560
Now, if they hang the arson on him,
208
00:14:19,350 --> 00:14:23,110
Both insurance policies go down the
drain. I'll lose everything.
209
00:14:23,111 --> 00:14:26,829
Come on, Norton, hold on. I make the
final recommendations and the fire
210
00:14:26,830 --> 00:14:31,709
insurance pay off, and the company
hasn't questioned my decisions yet. Now,
211
00:14:31,710 --> 00:14:34,930
the fire coverage pays, the life policy
pays. You got that?
212
00:14:35,210 --> 00:14:38,950
You better be right, because I'll tell
you one thing.
213
00:14:39,390 --> 00:14:44,410
I guarantee you, I'm not going to be the
only loser if this thing blows.
214
00:15:10,700 --> 00:15:15,600
Mr. Parks, you said on the phone I had a
little problem with my fire insurance.
215
00:15:15,700 --> 00:15:18,800
I came right over. Yeah, I've been
checking back in the files.
216
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,920
Seems you had a convenient fire a few
years back.
217
00:15:22,300 --> 00:15:23,800
Maybe a little too convenient.
218
00:15:24,900 --> 00:15:26,280
What are you talking about?
219
00:15:26,620 --> 00:15:29,140
I owned a building that burned down,
period.
220
00:15:29,141 --> 00:15:32,359
The insurance company paid off without
any question.
221
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,339
Now, what do I have to say to get
through all of this? Let you know I know
222
00:15:35,340 --> 00:15:36,780
Foster torched the building.
223
00:15:37,390 --> 00:15:39,390
Never heard of any Ray Foster.
224
00:15:39,730 --> 00:15:43,580
Come on, Wilson, don't lie to me. Foster
had his name written all over that job.
225
00:15:43,581 --> 00:15:48,109
Electrical appliance rig to set off the
building's power system? Come on.
226
00:15:48,110 --> 00:15:51,360
A good claims investigator would have
spotted it just like that.
227
00:15:51,650 --> 00:15:52,910
I think you got real lucky.
228
00:15:53,790 --> 00:15:54,840
Goodbye.
229
00:15:55,210 --> 00:15:56,260
Wait.
230
00:15:56,770 --> 00:15:57,820
Just relax.
231
00:15:57,821 --> 00:16:00,709
I want you to know why I came all the
way over here.
232
00:16:00,710 --> 00:16:02,670
I think it's time you had another fire.
233
00:16:03,710 --> 00:16:04,760
What?
234
00:16:05,150 --> 00:16:06,200
Another fire?
235
00:16:06,350 --> 00:16:08,290
Yeah. The building has to go.
236
00:16:08,730 --> 00:16:12,949
You see, I know you evicted the tenants
under a city order because you couldn't
237
00:16:12,950 --> 00:16:16,190
raise the $400 ,000 required for repair
and improvement.
238
00:16:17,150 --> 00:16:18,200
Now, empty?
239
00:16:19,030 --> 00:16:20,080
It's a big liability.
240
00:16:20,910 --> 00:16:21,960
In ashes?
241
00:16:22,250 --> 00:16:23,450
Worth a million dollars.
242
00:16:23,451 --> 00:16:26,789
No, I'm not getting mixed up in anything
like that again.
243
00:16:26,790 --> 00:16:31,489
Well, you don't have to. You see, I
provide the entire package, from the
244
00:16:31,490 --> 00:16:32,689
the insurance settlement.
245
00:16:32,690 --> 00:16:35,700
And all I want from you is a very modest
20 % of the settlement.
246
00:16:37,339 --> 00:16:38,389
$200 ,000.
247
00:16:38,390 --> 00:16:42,179
What makes you think I'd sit still for
that?
248
00:16:42,180 --> 00:16:43,860
Because you can't go to the police.
249
00:16:44,100 --> 00:16:48,439
And if your fire report happened to,
say, get into the wrong hands, ooh,
250
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,300
buy yourself a real big jail sentence.
251
00:16:54,500 --> 00:16:55,550
We got a deal?
252
00:16:56,900 --> 00:16:58,520
You'll take care of everything?
253
00:16:58,620 --> 00:16:59,670
Sure.
254
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:05,050
Mr. Norton?
255
00:17:06,220 --> 00:17:08,119
This is my associate, Jedediah Jones.
256
00:17:08,120 --> 00:17:12,059
Your apartment house manager said we
might find you here.
257
00:17:12,060 --> 00:17:15,720
I'm waiting for Mr. Parks to go over the
damage and loss report.
258
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,260
And I told you I was through talking.
259
00:17:18,579 --> 00:17:23,318
Well, I hate to insist, but Cindy Mills
told us that your company was having
260
00:17:23,319 --> 00:17:24,579
financial difficulties.
261
00:17:25,079 --> 00:17:26,999
That doesn't jive with what you told me.
262
00:17:27,140 --> 00:17:31,039
Well, if you want to listen to a model
hand out fitting room gossip, I can't
263
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:31,739
stop you.
264
00:17:31,740 --> 00:17:34,969
Well, she didn't strike me that way. She
seemed to care about you and Mr. Alden.
265
00:17:34,970 --> 00:17:38,630
She's a nice girl. She just doesn't
understand that partners argue.
266
00:17:39,550 --> 00:17:44,249
Cindy also mentioned that you were
worried about selling all the designs
267
00:17:44,250 --> 00:17:45,300
season.
268
00:17:46,110 --> 00:17:47,670
Chris was an artist.
269
00:17:48,070 --> 00:17:49,170
I'm a businessman.
270
00:17:49,930 --> 00:17:51,870
We always work things out.
271
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:13,730
wrong pew, J .R.
272
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,650
The action was in the showroom and
fitting room.
273
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:18,240
That's an office area.
274
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,950
Yeah, I know. I saw the blueprints at
the office.
275
00:18:20,951 --> 00:18:23,959
That's why this iron caught my eye. It's
kind of a strange place for it, don't
276
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:25,010
you think?
277
00:18:25,220 --> 00:18:27,660
Yeah, things get tossed around in the
fire.
278
00:18:27,661 --> 00:18:29,839
What do you make of this brown stain
here?
279
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:30,890
Looks like rust.
280
00:18:31,860 --> 00:18:32,910
I don't think so.
281
00:18:33,140 --> 00:18:35,400
Barnaby, I might have found something
here.
282
00:18:37,500 --> 00:18:38,760
What do you think of that?
283
00:18:41,141 --> 00:18:43,029
It's like blood.
284
00:18:43,030 --> 00:18:44,410
Yeah, that's what I thought.
285
00:18:46,610 --> 00:18:47,690
Something stuck to it.
286
00:18:48,630 --> 00:18:49,680
Was it hair, maybe?
287
00:18:50,050 --> 00:18:51,490
I'll have the lab check it out.
288
00:18:51,750 --> 00:18:56,249
If it's blood and it types out the same
as Alden's, I'll send the iron over to
289
00:18:56,250 --> 00:18:57,990
the arson lab for a hair comparison.
290
00:18:58,350 --> 00:19:01,250
Well, as soon as you get the results,
give us a call.
291
00:19:07,410 --> 00:19:08,510
It's blood, all right.
292
00:19:10,110 --> 00:19:11,250
And it's type B.
293
00:19:12,330 --> 00:19:13,530
It's the same as Alden's.
294
00:19:13,850 --> 00:19:16,680
You know, the guy down at the arson lab
says B is very rare.
295
00:19:16,770 --> 00:19:19,510
The only type less common is A, B.
296
00:19:20,250 --> 00:19:25,529
Now, if the arson people decide that
those hairs are Alden's, then we'll know
297
00:19:25,530 --> 00:19:27,509
that he wasn't alone on Norah last
night.
298
00:19:27,510 --> 00:19:30,209
Somebody could have killed him and
burned the place down.
299
00:19:30,210 --> 00:19:35,009
Yep. Well, for motive, you can't beat
Norton. Those two insurance policies add
300
00:19:35,010 --> 00:19:36,060
up to big bucks.
301
00:19:36,190 --> 00:19:37,450
Long way from collecting.
302
00:19:37,650 --> 00:19:40,660
Jim Parks is a bulldog when it comes to
that kind of evidence.
303
00:19:40,661 --> 00:19:44,059
Yeah, you've always said he was a real
pro, Barnaby, but don't you think he was
304
00:19:44,060 --> 00:19:45,320
acting a little strange?
305
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:47,620
In what way? The stain on the iron.
306
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,970
I tried to pass it off as if it was
nothing. You said it was rust.
307
00:19:50,971 --> 00:19:53,919
I don't see what you're driving at.
Well, I'm not sure what I'm driving at
308
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,179
either, Barnaby, but I just expect him
to be a little sharper than that. You
309
00:19:57,180 --> 00:20:00,850
know, I mean, you can't be sure that's
blood, but anybody can see it's not
310
00:20:01,380 --> 00:20:06,239
Jedediah, I have worked with Jim Parks
for three years, ever since he came out
311
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:07,290
here from Detroit.
312
00:20:07,530 --> 00:20:11,889
I have never met a better fire
investigator, and right now, he has a
313
00:20:11,890 --> 00:20:12,869
on his mind.
314
00:20:12,870 --> 00:20:17,189
And the last thing in the world he needs
is for people to start picking on every
315
00:20:17,190 --> 00:20:18,240
word he says.
316
00:20:23,410 --> 00:20:28,969
I have been to every major textile
distributor and garment retail outlet in
317
00:20:28,970 --> 00:20:33,129
city, and I have the blisters to prove
it. Ah, what an exaggeration. I went
318
00:20:33,130 --> 00:20:36,500
shopping with this woman last week.
Those feet are indestructible.
319
00:20:36,501 --> 00:20:38,199
It's true.
320
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,180
Oh, thank you, Barnaby.
321
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:47,119
I'll type up the details for you, but
everyone I talk to confirm what Cindy
322
00:20:47,120 --> 00:20:48,170
Mills told J .R.
323
00:20:48,780 --> 00:20:53,720
Every textile supplier Norell deals with
shows their accounts as delinquent.
324
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,520
What about their retail customers?
325
00:20:56,521 --> 00:20:59,399
Most of them were disenchanted with
Norell's designs.
326
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,419
They were holding up orders waiting to
see what the competition came up with.
327
00:21:02,420 --> 00:21:04,890
Well, that gives Norton an even stronger
motive.
328
00:21:05,070 --> 00:21:09,329
I just remembered something I saw in the
Cal Meridian files. It's beginning to
329
00:21:09,330 --> 00:21:10,380
ring a bell.
330
00:21:10,510 --> 00:21:16,390
I think I will drop by Jim's on the way
home and run it past him.
331
00:21:17,330 --> 00:21:20,430
Well, I better get this iron over to the
arson squad.
332
00:21:21,810 --> 00:21:23,430
So, what'd you get from the iron?
333
00:21:24,370 --> 00:21:25,470
Stained with blood.
334
00:21:26,430 --> 00:21:27,480
Alden's type.
335
00:21:27,970 --> 00:21:32,790
If the hair comparison is positive,
we've got a probable homicide.
336
00:21:33,490 --> 00:21:34,540
Hmm.
337
00:21:34,860 --> 00:21:38,050
Top suspect would have to be Norton,
right? That's why I'm here.
338
00:21:38,420 --> 00:21:43,039
In the insurance records at Noral, I
noticed in Norton's file an item which
339
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:46,420
didn't impress me at the time because I
was concentrating on Alden.
340
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:47,730
What was it?
341
00:21:48,900 --> 00:21:53,380
Computer symbol PFIS followed by the sum
$300 ,000.
342
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:58,620
Doesn't that indicate that there was a
previous fire insurance settlement?
343
00:21:58,621 --> 00:22:02,939
Yeah, it could be. It depends on the
symbol. I'll check it out first thing
344
00:22:02,940 --> 00:22:07,789
tomorrow. Well, I thought maybe that you
had checked it out before you issued
345
00:22:07,790 --> 00:22:08,549
the policy.
346
00:22:08,550 --> 00:22:13,150
Yeah. Well, the truth is, Barnaby, I
just don't remember it.
347
00:22:13,510 --> 00:22:18,430
It might have slipped my mind, and one
of Ruth's bad days, those things happen.
348
00:22:18,910 --> 00:22:23,450
Jim, I wish you'd think about taking a
leave of absence.
349
00:22:24,090 --> 00:22:25,140
No, no.
350
00:22:25,510 --> 00:22:28,790
I'm afraid to. I came from nothing. I'm
not going to go back.
351
00:22:29,150 --> 00:22:31,230
I mean a vacation, not retirement.
352
00:22:31,231 --> 00:22:35,229
Barnaby, let me make it simple for you.
You see, I didn't belong to any
353
00:22:35,230 --> 00:22:39,409
fraternities or clubs where I could turn
social contacts into quick life
354
00:22:39,410 --> 00:22:44,129
insurance policies with real monies. So
I made up my mind to get to the top and
355
00:22:44,130 --> 00:22:48,230
fire in casualty. A field where you make
it on your ability, not social contact.
356
00:22:48,231 --> 00:22:50,089
Well, I'd say you're well on your way.
357
00:22:50,090 --> 00:22:53,309
Yeah, I fought for my reputation. I'm
not going to risk it making any dumb
358
00:22:53,310 --> 00:22:54,360
moves.
359
00:22:56,530 --> 00:23:01,110
Oh, Barnaby, look, I... If you're right
about all of this...
360
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:05,280
I would really appreciate it if you
didn't mention it. You filed your
361
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:12,240
Well, that's a fire insurance problem.
362
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:18,140
My job is strictly to find out the
reason for Alden's death.
363
00:23:21,660 --> 00:23:22,710
Thanks a lot.
364
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,000
Well, look, I'll see you tomorrow
morning.
365
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:27,600
Okay, Jim. Good night.
366
00:23:37,870 --> 00:23:38,920
In a minute.
367
00:23:45,330 --> 00:23:47,650
Hey, would you turn that thing down?
368
00:23:51,410 --> 00:23:52,460
Yeah, yeah.
369
00:23:52,870 --> 00:23:53,920
We got a problem.
370
00:23:55,410 --> 00:23:57,290
They finally iron you used on Holden.
371
00:23:57,830 --> 00:24:00,490
So? They can't connect me with it.
372
00:24:00,770 --> 00:24:03,720
Yeah, but they're closing in on Norton.
He's about to crack.
373
00:24:04,050 --> 00:24:06,570
Hey, all he has to do is keep his mouth
shut.
374
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:08,250
They can't nail him.
375
00:24:08,251 --> 00:24:12,159
It's not in a criminal court where you
need absolute proof, but I've got news
376
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:13,880
for you, buddy. This is a civil case.
377
00:24:13,881 --> 00:24:17,579
All the insurance company has to do is
present what we call a preponderance of
378
00:24:17,580 --> 00:24:18,630
evidence.
379
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,150
It can win on the basis of suspicion.
You got that?
380
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:22,760
We'd get no payoff.
381
00:24:23,100 --> 00:24:24,150
It's worse.
382
00:24:24,460 --> 00:24:27,410
You know, Norton's on a guilt jag over
his partner's death.
383
00:24:28,140 --> 00:24:32,600
If he loses everything, they'll take us
down with him.
384
00:24:46,090 --> 00:24:48,590
Mr. Norton, I'm Lucas Ives.
385
00:24:49,350 --> 00:24:50,990
Mr. Parks told me to meet him here.
386
00:24:51,470 --> 00:24:53,330
Parks didn't say he was coming here.
387
00:24:53,630 --> 00:24:55,980
Well, he'll explain it to you when he
gets here.
388
00:24:57,550 --> 00:25:00,970
Anyways, you and me, we ought to get
acquainted.
389
00:25:02,450 --> 00:25:07,270
Of course, we've done business before,
only we never met.
390
00:25:13,710 --> 00:25:15,030
Swing and pad you got here.
391
00:25:16,170 --> 00:25:17,810
You killed Chris, didn't you?
392
00:25:21,150 --> 00:25:23,050
Didn't you? Easy, friend.
393
00:25:23,750 --> 00:25:25,870
See, fires are a precision business.
394
00:25:27,190 --> 00:25:29,540
Your job was to see that the building
was clear.
395
00:25:29,790 --> 00:25:32,670
You messed up so your partner paid for
it.
396
00:25:34,110 --> 00:25:38,670
I didn't know he was going back until
after I called his girlfriend that
397
00:25:39,150 --> 00:25:44,170
And when I found out, I was going to
warn him.
398
00:25:44,710 --> 00:25:46,450
But I... I was too late.
399
00:25:48,710 --> 00:25:49,760
I was too late.
400
00:26:08,970 --> 00:26:11,860
You know, Norton, they say a man should
never drink alone.
401
00:26:14,060 --> 00:26:16,480
It's real bad for your health.
402
00:26:37,380 --> 00:26:38,430
Hi.
403
00:26:40,951 --> 00:26:46,739
After I talked to you, I decided to come
down here and get some sun.
404
00:26:46,740 --> 00:26:48,420
Is it okay if we talk out here? Sure.
405
00:26:48,540 --> 00:26:50,220
Cindy, this is my cousin, Barnaby.
406
00:26:50,260 --> 00:26:52,140
Hello. How are you? How do you do?
407
00:26:53,020 --> 00:26:54,640
Cindy, I'm sorry about Mr. Norton.
408
00:26:54,641 --> 00:26:58,219
I just can't believe that Harry would
have committed suicide.
409
00:26:58,220 --> 00:26:59,270
That's possible.
410
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,950
He was very disturbed about his
partner's death.
411
00:27:01,951 --> 00:27:05,319
You know, I think Norton had the most to
gain by Alden's murder. Maybe he did it
412
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:06,399
and couldn't live with himself.
413
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,319
Well, I can't believe that he killed
Chris.
414
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:11,679
Let's say you're right and that he
didn't have it in him to leave his
415
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:12,730
die in the fire.
416
00:27:13,230 --> 00:27:15,090
You might be able to help us prove that.
417
00:27:15,950 --> 00:27:17,000
How?
418
00:27:17,670 --> 00:27:21,400
Yesterday, you told Jedediah that Norton
called you the night of the fire.
419
00:27:21,570 --> 00:27:22,620
What time was that?
420
00:27:23,570 --> 00:27:24,620
Around 8.
421
00:27:25,290 --> 00:27:28,300
But it could have been 20 minutes before
or 20 minutes after.
422
00:27:28,301 --> 00:27:29,909
Do you know where he called from?
423
00:27:29,910 --> 00:27:32,770
He didn't say, but I think it was at his
club.
424
00:27:33,290 --> 00:27:34,340
In the marina?
425
00:27:34,990 --> 00:27:36,130
The Ocean Bay Club.
426
00:27:36,610 --> 00:27:37,690
You're very positive.
427
00:27:38,010 --> 00:27:40,660
Yeah, I am, because he said he was
drinking gold cups.
428
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,470
That's a special drink one of the
bartenders thought up.
429
00:27:44,511 --> 00:27:50,879
Well, I mean, you could certainly call
it on that computer symbol.
430
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:54,000
Norton got a $300 ,000 settlement for a
fire in Chicago.
431
00:27:54,001 --> 00:27:57,479
The insurance company tabbed it as
arson, but didn't have enough evidence
432
00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:57,999
to court.
433
00:27:58,000 --> 00:27:59,859
I'd like to have heard Norton's side of
it.
434
00:27:59,860 --> 00:28:01,520
Well, a suicide tells it all.
435
00:28:02,540 --> 00:28:05,250
Okay, I'm putting this one to bed. Say,
I owe you a lunch.
436
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:07,740
Jim, I'm afraid it's a little premature.
437
00:28:07,741 --> 00:28:09,779
Why is that?
438
00:28:09,780 --> 00:28:10,860
Take a look at the mail.
439
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:15,819
I checked on the phone call that Norton
made to Cindy Mills the night of the
440
00:28:15,820 --> 00:28:20,400
fire. He made it from here, the Pacific
Bay Club, at 8 .15.
441
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:25,499
Right. Now, this here is the shortest
distance from there to the Norell
442
00:28:25,500 --> 00:28:28,360
there. Even in light traffic, that's a
40 -minute drive.
443
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,420
The fire was reported at 8 .32.
444
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:35,900
That's 17 minutes after Norton made the
phone call from his club.
445
00:28:35,901 --> 00:28:38,999
Well, it certainly looks like you're
right. There's no way Norton could have
446
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:40,050
done it.
447
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:46,159
Looking back, that whole fire setup had
a professional stamp to it. I think we
448
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,720
got sidetracked by all the
circumstantial evidence pointing to the
449
00:28:49,721 --> 00:28:51,819
All the time it was a professional, a
torch.
450
00:28:51,820 --> 00:28:53,440
Hold it. Let's say it was a torch.
451
00:28:53,900 --> 00:28:57,040
Now, Norton probably hired him. He'd
still be responsible.
452
00:28:57,660 --> 00:29:00,620
It'd still be a suicide. I don't see
where anything changes.
453
00:29:00,980 --> 00:29:05,440
Jim, I know you like this case just to
go away, but it won't.
454
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:10,169
Not until we find out who killed Alden,
and to do that... We need a lot of help
455
00:29:10,170 --> 00:29:11,220
from you.
456
00:29:12,110 --> 00:29:16,669
All right, Barnaby, I'll hop on back to
my office, round up my mug book on
457
00:29:16,670 --> 00:29:18,530
torches, and be back in a little while.
458
00:29:21,161 --> 00:29:28,769
Barnaby, look, I know how you feel about
Jim, but there is something wrong here.
459
00:29:28,770 --> 00:29:32,089
I told you I had things on his mind.
It's more than that. First he misreads a
460
00:29:32,090 --> 00:29:34,969
blood stain as rust, now he wants to
sweep the whole case under the rug.
461
00:29:34,970 --> 00:29:36,020
Get a dial!
462
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:42,700
I'd like to change the subject.
463
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:49,090
You're the boss.
464
00:29:55,731 --> 00:30:02,459
Won't the fire department get here too
soon? It looks like this thing will take
465
00:30:02,460 --> 00:30:03,510
forever to burn.
466
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,620
Ah, the stump is made to order.
467
00:30:05,621 --> 00:30:08,359
When it's laid out, it'll go up like the
Fourth of July.
468
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:09,410
It's kicky, you know.
469
00:30:09,411 --> 00:30:12,009
Seeing it now and knowing you're going
to wipe it out?
470
00:30:12,010 --> 00:30:15,440
Let's see what there's around to work
with. Where did you get the key?
471
00:30:15,670 --> 00:30:16,720
Parks.
472
00:30:16,830 --> 00:30:18,450
He cases every target for me.
473
00:30:18,970 --> 00:30:21,810
Tips me on locks, alarms, watchmen, you
name it.
474
00:30:22,070 --> 00:30:25,490
And the kicker is, the weirdo owners
help him to do it.
475
00:30:25,950 --> 00:30:27,000
I hate him.
476
00:30:27,190 --> 00:30:28,330
He's like a punk.
477
00:30:29,910 --> 00:30:30,960
Easy, baby.
478
00:30:31,650 --> 00:30:32,700
Had to play the game.
479
00:30:33,530 --> 00:30:35,640
If he bailed me out of Detroit, he owned
me.
480
00:30:36,330 --> 00:30:37,690
But I got him in deep now.
481
00:30:39,180 --> 00:30:41,000
It ain't gonna be one way no more.
482
00:30:59,900 --> 00:31:02,700
This is great.
483
00:31:03,620 --> 00:31:05,820
Everything in here will burn fast and
hot.
484
00:31:06,020 --> 00:31:07,340
Just right for my bag.
485
00:31:12,290 --> 00:31:15,720
California Meridian has more arson rap
sheets than the arson squad.
486
00:31:15,721 --> 00:31:19,409
We've been at it three hours, and what
have we got?
487
00:31:19,410 --> 00:31:20,460
Three candidates?
488
00:31:20,610 --> 00:31:22,790
Four. I think we can eliminate this one.
489
00:31:23,390 --> 00:31:28,929
He has the same M .O. for setting fires
with the materials at the scene, but all
490
00:31:28,930 --> 00:31:31,640
his arrests were for torching government
buildings.
491
00:31:31,710 --> 00:31:32,870
So that leaves what?
492
00:31:33,170 --> 00:31:37,490
Clay Nolan, Edward Brady, and Lucas
Ives.
493
00:31:40,330 --> 00:31:41,380
Look at this.
494
00:31:42,090 --> 00:31:45,220
It says Ives worked out of Detroit until
about three years ago.
495
00:31:45,221 --> 00:31:49,009
Barnaby says that you were back there
about then, Jim. Didn't you ever run
496
00:31:49,010 --> 00:31:50,060
him?
497
00:31:52,070 --> 00:31:54,570
I guess he's one I missed.
498
00:31:54,571 --> 00:32:00,169
Well, the next step is to get an update
on these men from Lieutenant Biddle.
499
00:32:00,170 --> 00:32:01,490
All right, I'll talk to him.
500
00:32:22,060 --> 00:32:23,140
Tell her to take a walk.
501
00:32:23,420 --> 00:32:25,620
Are you ready for him? This is my place.
502
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:30,080
Come on. Rita, I want you to go to the
kitchen and stay there.
503
00:32:34,500 --> 00:32:36,220
So, what's so important?
504
00:32:36,780 --> 00:32:37,830
Now, it's simple.
505
00:32:37,831 --> 00:32:41,319
Jones is getting too close. I want you
to take a trip, disappear until you hear
506
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:42,370
from me.
507
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:43,490
Hey, why not?
508
00:32:44,140 --> 00:32:48,300
Just give me my piece of the Norell job
and I'll split.
509
00:32:48,301 --> 00:32:52,609
What are you talking about? We're not
going to see a dime from that deal.
510
00:32:52,610 --> 00:32:53,970
I'm just making a point.
511
00:32:54,790 --> 00:32:58,400
You see, before I take any trips, I'm
going to need walking around money.
512
00:32:58,401 --> 00:33:02,529
You see, the Wilson building, that's all
that's standing between me and
513
00:33:02,530 --> 00:33:06,320
Acapulco. Just forget that. You're not
going to go near that Wilson building.
514
00:33:06,321 --> 00:33:10,029
The only thing wrong with that, Parks,
is, you see, you're not making the
515
00:33:10,030 --> 00:33:11,080
decisions anymore.
516
00:33:11,590 --> 00:33:14,790
And from here on out, we're going to
split everything.
517
00:33:15,890 --> 00:33:16,970
Right down the middle.
518
00:33:17,230 --> 00:33:20,300
No, no, no. You still owe me one of ours
for Detroit, remember?
519
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:21,450
No more.
520
00:33:22,140 --> 00:33:24,060
I'm looking at two counts of murder one.
521
00:33:24,740 --> 00:33:26,360
And you're going to stick around.
522
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:28,580
Because you're looking at them too.
523
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:30,250
Partner.
524
00:33:30,420 --> 00:33:31,470
Hmm.
525
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:34,210
Okay.
526
00:33:35,420 --> 00:33:37,680
All right, but we're still in business.
527
00:33:37,681 --> 00:33:41,119
I mean, you're not going to see any
money from the Wilson job in the next
528
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:44,540
minutes. So, I go somewhere with Rita.
529
00:33:45,420 --> 00:33:46,470
And wait.
530
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,870
Yeah, but what are we going to do about
Jones in the meantime?
531
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:51,800
Jones is your problem.
532
00:33:52,740 --> 00:33:55,260
But if you can't take care of him, I
will.
533
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:09,050
Mr. Brady?
534
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:11,980
Yeah? Let me ask you a few questions.
535
00:34:11,981 --> 00:34:16,599
About what? We're looking for the torch
you burned down the Noral building.
536
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:18,340
You just happen to have the right M .O.
537
00:34:18,679 --> 00:34:19,729
You mean head.
538
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:23,399
I've been clean since I got out of the
joint a year ago. Yeah, so your
539
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:24,639
officer told us.
540
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:28,099
However, we'd like to know where you
were the night of the fire.
541
00:34:28,100 --> 00:34:30,219
Last Monday night, between 8 and 8 .30.
542
00:34:31,500 --> 00:34:32,980
Monday. I was bowling.
543
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:34,460
I was bowling all night.
544
00:34:34,679 --> 00:34:36,479
We got a real high -rolling team here.
545
00:34:38,659 --> 00:34:40,279
You know either of these two men?
546
00:34:42,830 --> 00:34:44,390
This one I've never seen before.
547
00:34:45,610 --> 00:34:47,250
This dude's Lucas Ives.
548
00:34:47,469 --> 00:34:49,449
I mean, you couldn't miss those threads.
549
00:34:49,610 --> 00:34:50,870
How well do you know Ives?
550
00:34:51,090 --> 00:34:54,170
Barely. We got picked up for questioning
on the same gig once.
551
00:34:54,610 --> 00:34:55,750
You ever see him again?
552
00:34:56,250 --> 00:34:58,430
No. I wouldn't mind, though.
553
00:34:58,710 --> 00:34:59,770
Any special reason?
554
00:35:00,070 --> 00:35:02,430
Dude tells terrific war stories.
555
00:35:02,431 --> 00:35:05,129
I mean, you know, if you're into
torturing and stuff.
556
00:35:05,130 --> 00:35:07,480
Like the time he beat the arson cats in
Detroit.
557
00:35:08,030 --> 00:35:09,080
It's fantastic.
558
00:35:09,310 --> 00:35:10,360
How was that?
559
00:35:10,670 --> 00:35:13,360
Well... They thought they had him dead
bang, you know.
560
00:35:13,780 --> 00:35:16,760
And all of a sudden, the insurance
company just pays up.
561
00:35:17,100 --> 00:35:20,410
I mean, it knocked the socks off the
arson squad's investigation.
562
00:35:20,411 --> 00:35:23,659
He just takes off, he comes out here, he
never even looked back.
563
00:35:23,660 --> 00:35:26,850
Did he mention the name of the insurance
company by any chance?
564
00:35:28,860 --> 00:35:31,200
Uh, if he did, I don't remember.
565
00:35:32,260 --> 00:35:34,000
Well, thank you very much, Mr. Brady.
566
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,310
I think I'll check with Jedediah, see if
he had any luck with Nolan.
567
00:35:38,420 --> 00:35:41,190
Yeah, I'm late for a building
inspection. See you later.
568
00:35:44,601 --> 00:35:48,849
Barnaby Jones, investigations may help
you.
569
00:35:48,850 --> 00:35:54,429
Betty, get the rap sheet on Lucas Ives.
He was arrested on an arson charge about
570
00:35:54,430 --> 00:35:55,750
three years ago in Detroit.
571
00:35:56,290 --> 00:35:57,340
Just a second.
572
00:35:59,130 --> 00:36:04,269
Help. Call the Detroit Arson Squad and
find out how he beat the rap. Also, get
573
00:36:04,270 --> 00:36:06,349
the name of the insurance company
involved.
574
00:36:06,350 --> 00:36:07,400
Will do.
575
00:36:07,510 --> 00:36:08,630
Is Jedediah there?
576
00:36:08,631 --> 00:36:09,589
Mm -hmm.
577
00:36:09,590 --> 00:36:11,570
J .R., Barnaby on line one.
578
00:36:13,250 --> 00:36:15,190
Marty, listen, Nolan is a strikeout.
579
00:36:15,510 --> 00:36:19,349
He moved out of his apartment about a
month ago, left a San Francisco
580
00:36:19,350 --> 00:36:22,609
address. Betty confirmed he's living
there. Did Lieutenant Biddle give us
581
00:36:22,610 --> 00:36:25,769
address? Well, at last anybody knew he
was living with a girl named Rita
582
00:36:25,770 --> 00:36:28,629
Wallace. I'll take a run over there, see
if he's still around.
583
00:36:28,630 --> 00:36:30,950
Tell Betty I'm on my way back to the
office.
584
00:36:37,570 --> 00:36:38,620
Yeah.
585
00:36:43,580 --> 00:36:44,630
Don't miss anything.
586
00:36:44,631 --> 00:36:48,059
Ah, Luke always did have a good eye.
This time I think he's a little
587
00:36:48,060 --> 00:36:50,399
overmatched, though. Oh, really? You
know Luke?
588
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:51,840
Yeah, I know him. From Detroit.
589
00:36:52,551 --> 00:36:54,459
What's your name?
590
00:36:54,460 --> 00:36:55,510
J .R. Is he around?
591
00:36:55,940 --> 00:36:58,880
J .R.? Well, you and Luke must have been
really tight.
592
00:36:58,881 --> 00:37:00,239
He never mentioned you.
593
00:37:00,240 --> 00:37:03,659
Well, I just got into town. I'm a little
tapped out. You know, I'd like to make
594
00:37:03,660 --> 00:37:04,710
a quick score if I can.
595
00:37:04,711 --> 00:37:07,699
Well, why don't you leave your number in
case I happen to see him?
596
00:37:07,700 --> 00:37:08,750
Oh, come on.
597
00:37:08,751 --> 00:37:12,819
You know, Luke and I started some real
bonfires here in Detroit. I don't think
598
00:37:12,820 --> 00:37:15,019
he would appreciate you doing a number
on me.
599
00:37:15,020 --> 00:37:18,510
Well, if it's something you want to
know, J .R., Luke always works alone.
600
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:22,210
What are you, a cop?
601
00:37:24,540 --> 00:37:27,919
All right. No, I'm a private
investigator, but I didn't come to bust
602
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:29,060
just want to talk to him.
603
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:31,320
Well, so would I, actually.
604
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:33,160
We had a fight about a month ago.
605
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:34,960
I told him to bug off, and he did.
606
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:39,230
Well, I sure hope you're telling me the
truth. Rita, right?
607
00:37:39,231 --> 00:37:42,889
Because we're talking about arson and
murder here, Rita. And if you're
608
00:37:42,890 --> 00:37:46,020
for Ives, you could be charged as an
accomplice after the fact.
609
00:37:46,290 --> 00:37:48,760
Well, if you find him, have him call me,
will you?
610
00:37:48,990 --> 00:37:50,040
Please?
611
00:37:51,550 --> 00:37:52,600
Sure.
612
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:33,840
Well, I just talked to Detroit Arson.
613
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:36,750
I don't think you're going to like what
they told me.
614
00:38:38,720 --> 00:38:39,820
Jim's name came up.
615
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:42,580
Well, now, how did you know that?
616
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:44,640
I've been fighting it.
617
00:38:45,220 --> 00:38:47,480
I didn't want to admit that he was
involved.
618
00:38:48,340 --> 00:38:50,100
The reason I jumped on Jedediah.
619
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:52,950
I just didn't like the way Jim was
handling the case.
620
00:38:53,900 --> 00:38:56,060
Counterpunching, blocking every clue.
621
00:38:56,860 --> 00:38:59,340
And then when you tie that to the fact
that...
622
00:38:59,720 --> 00:39:04,260
Ives was in Detroit working at the time
Jim was. You've got a clear pattern.
623
00:39:04,720 --> 00:39:06,760
Well, there definitely was a connection.
624
00:39:06,820 --> 00:39:11,439
Detroit Arson decided to drop a case
against Ives when the insurance company
625
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:13,060
unexpectedly settled the claim.
626
00:39:13,340 --> 00:39:14,900
The insurance adjuster was Jim.
627
00:39:15,060 --> 00:39:16,110
Right.
628
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:19,060
But does that really prove anything?
629
00:39:19,500 --> 00:39:21,940
It does when Jim says he never heard of
Ives.
630
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:24,010
Oh, Barnaby.
631
00:39:24,991 --> 00:39:29,399
Barnaby Jones Investigations. May I help
you?
632
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,750
Yeah, Betty, it's Jim Parks. Is Barnaby
there?
633
00:39:33,220 --> 00:39:34,520
Uh, yes, Jim.
634
00:39:34,860 --> 00:39:36,520
Uh, just hold on for just a minute.
635
00:39:41,871 --> 00:39:43,959
Hello, Jim.
636
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:45,010
Hey, Barnaby.
637
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:46,130
Look, we got a break.
638
00:39:46,340 --> 00:39:49,400
I got on the horn of my contacts and
picked up a lead on Ives.
639
00:39:49,820 --> 00:39:53,380
He's holed up in the basement of an
apartment building at 410 Fairlawn
640
00:39:54,431 --> 00:39:56,379
Nice work.
641
00:39:56,380 --> 00:39:58,169
Yeah, listen, I'm leaving right now.
642
00:39:58,170 --> 00:39:59,250
Can you meet me there?
643
00:39:59,790 --> 00:40:00,840
I'm on my way.
644
00:40:01,010 --> 00:40:02,060
Okay, fine.
645
00:40:04,350 --> 00:40:05,450
Well, that's a twist.
646
00:40:05,451 --> 00:40:07,729
What do you think he's saying?
647
00:40:07,730 --> 00:40:09,430
He knows we're getting close.
648
00:40:10,750 --> 00:40:15,989
Eddie, you call Lieutenant Biddle. Tell
him I'd appreciate it if he'd have a
649
00:40:15,990 --> 00:40:18,940
squad car. Check with me at the address
that you got from Jim.
650
00:40:50,670 --> 00:40:53,380
Hey, hurry up, will you? He's gonna be
here in a minute.
651
00:40:54,270 --> 00:40:55,320
Here you are.
652
00:40:56,090 --> 00:40:57,350
Just let me check the colt.
653
00:41:14,210 --> 00:41:15,260
All right.
654
00:41:16,770 --> 00:41:19,240
Now, once I tie the fishing leader off
to the nail...
655
00:41:19,470 --> 00:41:23,950
Friend comes in the door, he trips the
leader, pulls the solvent onto the
656
00:41:24,750 --> 00:41:25,800
Goodbye, friend.
657
00:41:26,510 --> 00:41:28,980
Are you sure there is no way he can get
out of here?
658
00:41:29,510 --> 00:41:32,160
Are you kidding? This door is the only
way out of here.
659
00:41:32,410 --> 00:41:34,640
This room is going to be like a blast
furnace.
660
00:41:36,350 --> 00:41:37,400
One last touch.
661
00:41:47,390 --> 00:41:48,440
Figure maybe...
662
00:41:48,570 --> 00:41:53,450
10, 15 seconds before the fire gets to
these cans.
663
00:41:54,450 --> 00:41:57,210
And this run goes sky high.
664
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:34,060
Luke? It's Rita!
665
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:44,730
Luke?
666
00:42:47,180 --> 00:42:48,230
Luke, it's Rita!
667
00:42:48,980 --> 00:42:50,030
All right, hold it.
668
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:52,010
What's going on?
669
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:53,460
Shut up. Come on, in there.
670
00:42:53,720 --> 00:42:54,770
Let's move. Come on.
671
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:04,080
Give up, Parks. You're through.
672
00:44:30,890 --> 00:44:32,940
Warnaby, don't open the door. It's a
trap.
673
00:44:32,941 --> 00:44:33,849
You're going to die.
674
00:44:33,850 --> 00:44:35,170
It's a booby trap, Warnaby.
675
00:44:38,370 --> 00:44:39,420
Don't try it, dear.
676
00:44:41,830 --> 00:44:42,880
Don't get beat.
677
00:44:46,790 --> 00:44:47,840
Come on over here.
678
00:44:50,450 --> 00:44:51,950
I'll fix the door so it'll open.
679
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:19,330
Warnaby, you almost had toasted law
student.
680
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:24,050
Warnaby?
681
00:45:27,700 --> 00:45:28,750
I'm sorry.
682
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:34,200
You... You certainly are that.
683
00:45:34,250 --> 00:45:38,800
