Oh, oh, the key's on the right.
Yes, thank you. My.

173
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,870


174
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,393
HUTCH: Last count, we got
eight of these books on mime.

175
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,672
And Richards was killed watching
some mime outside of a restaurant.

176
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,917
That means somebody
did their homework.

177
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:52,596
We got one shot, one bullet,
books on mime,

178
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,712
his buddy and boss Jack Morgan

179
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,310
sitting with a gun in his lap
out on an OD of chloroform.

180
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,590
Yeah, some pro has done
his homework.

181
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:07,477
Now, according to what you got here,
Richards and Morgan went to the same school together.

182
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:09,989
Yeah, I read that, too.
Graduated classmates.

183
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:11,792
That's about the only
tangible lead you got, huh?

184
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,117
Tangible? Only 400 graduates
a year out of that college!

185
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,630
Well, 398 of them
are still alive.

186
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:22,515
Jameson's College is just up
the coast. You better get your fanny up there and check it out.

187
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,392
What for?
If I knew that,

188
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:25,999
I wouldn't be sending you
up there, would I?

189
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:27,428
Right.

190
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,312
And by the way,
where's your partner?

191
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:33,115
Oh, uh, Starsky's
checking out Catlin.

192
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,551
Well, that was last night.
You know, the lady from the automobile showroom.

193
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:38,113
Nobody's heard from him
since last night.

194
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,038
Well, knowing Starsky,
he's probably, you know...

195
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,471
He'd better be on his J-O-B.
Right.

196
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,636
Are you forgetting
I know Starsky too?

197
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:56,154
Augh! Hey!
Your timing leaves a lot to be desired.

198
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:03,152
What are you doing with that
piece of sculpting outside? You can't afford $35,000.

199
00:20:03,360 --> 00:20:05,749
CATLIN:
Thirty-five, nine.

200
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,232
What'd you find out?
It's not worth it.

201
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:17,668
Can't corner like a Torino.

202
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,269
I'm talking about the case,
Detective Sergeant Starsky.

203
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,199
Lipstick on the buttons.

204
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:28,076
Doesn't match. Her shoulders
are white, but no perfume.

205
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,840
You are one good detective.
Thanks.

206
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,918
Ah, ah...
Um...

207
00:20:35,120 --> 00:20:37,076
What are you up to?

208
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,431
Dobey's sending me up to
Jameson College to check on those two dead graduates.

209
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,953
They both went to Jameson.

210
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:54,515
I'm not very good at waiting.
Can I go now?

211
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,956
Hmm? Sure.
Thank you.

212
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,833
I'll check things out at this end.
Oh, I'm sure you will.

213
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:01,314
David?
Hmm?

214
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,273
How do you like your breakfast?

215
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,436
Over easy.

216
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,998


217
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,829
Come now, this is a class
of the philosophy of crime,

218
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:56,397
from stealing the cookies
when your mother isn't looking to murders of convenience.

219
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,272
Now, what I am trying to communicate

220
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:03,150
past your well-scrubbed faces
is to let go your preconceptions about the poor, downtrodden criminal.

221
00:22:03,360 --> 00:22:08,195
It's nonsense. The criminal assumes
total responsibility for his life.

222
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,233
If one chooses to...
To steal or to commit a murder,

223
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,477
that is an aggressive exercise
in that individual's behaviour.

224
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,038
Yes, Ralph.

225
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,993
Uh, according to you,

226
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:26,751
it's almost as if
the bad guy's respectable.

227
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:31,988
What about the victim, the guy that
gets burned, uh, murdered, let's say?

228
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,795
Ah, the voice of conscience
raises its sacred heart, huh?

229
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,913
The victor, as well as the victim,
is responsible for his life and death.

230
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:45,552
Uh, come now, Professor,
are you telling me that if somebody murders me, I'm responsible?

231
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:50,072
Indeed, and that is the precise issue
we shall deal with in our next class,

232
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:54,239
the subtle and obvious ways
we choose our own executions.

233
00:22:57,920 --> 00:22:59,672
MORGAN [ON TAPE]:
Come at 2:00 instead of 2:30.

234
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:04,556
I got to admit I'm a little nervous.
It's not every day we try and blackmail a professional hit man.

235
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:08,719
So, get here early, partner.
We should have our act together before the professor comes.

236
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:14,678
Todesco found this in Allen Richards'
apartment. The voice is identified as Jack Morgan's.

237
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:16,472
Shh!

238
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,148
How do you read that?
They're partners. They're both dead.

239
00:23:20,360 --> 00:23:21,952
Both had appointments
with a professor.

240
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:23,388
Uh...

241
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,398
I know a dozen con men
who got the alias of "professor."

242
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:33,153
Well, it's a 3:00 meet. Allen Richards
got burned at 12:00 and Jack Morgan at 2:30.

243
00:23:33,360 --> 00:23:37,273
Whatever made him nervous,
I'm betting on the professor.

244
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,153
What have you got?
Hello. How are you?

245
00:23:40,360 --> 00:23:44,478
Forget the social amenities.
Fine. No kidding.

246
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,513
What you got?

247
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:51,508
Look, I just been through enough
microfilm and yellowed sheets of class records to make me half-blind.

248
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,472
So what? That's your job.
What you got?

249
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:55,477
OK, OK.

250
00:23:55,680 --> 00:24:01,038
Allen Richards, good student,
B-plus average. Jack Morgan just made it. Just made it. Stunk.

251
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,276
The last year, the two of them took
three courses together.

252
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,790
First one was European history
taught by Mrs Andrews.

253
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:11,039
The second one was a course
in the art of mime, taught by a Professor Bertold.

254
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:15,199
And the third one was
in the philosophy of crime, taught by a Professor Gage.

255
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:20,713
After graduation, they remained
friends. Jack Morgan inherited that, uh, automobile showroom.

256
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:22,148
And Allen Richards was...

257
00:24:22,360 --> 00:24:23,998
Let's start with
Professor Bertold, huh?

258
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:25,758
Allen Richards was shot
watching a mime.

259
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:27,393
Wait a second!
Philosophy of crime.

260
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:29,477
Hmm?

261
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,640
Philosophy of... I saw that.

262
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:41,032
I saw that... I saw that book.
I saw that book at the Allen Richards apartment. That's it!

263
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,277
You all right?
That's it! Yeah, I'm fine.

264
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,516
And you know what I'm gonna do?
I'm gonna enrol at the university

265
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,951
in a course in philosophy of crime
taught by J Gage.

266
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:55,154
That's a mighty long shot.
So's the murder of Allen Richards.

267
00:24:55,360 --> 00:24:57,396


268
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:08,550
Now, what we're concerned with today
is the fact that the killer and the killee are married,

269
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:12,230
by choice, and not accident.

270
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:17,278
Sorry.
Why?

271
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:22,719
Why what?
Well, why are you sorry?

272
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,913
Oh! Well, I'm sorry I came late,
interrupted your class. I apologise.

273
00:25:27,120 --> 00:25:30,635
Well, why did you come in late
and interrupt?

274
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,318
Can we begin again?
Well, I never stopped.

275
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,592
Well, then let me explain.
Good.

276
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:40,313
Just take responsibility yourself.

277
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:45,514
Yes, well, I, uh... I just enrolled.
I'm a non-matriculating student.

278
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:49,235
I stopped by the registrar, and she
said that I could start the class today,

279
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,113
even though you'd already
been going one day.

280
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:56,279
If that's all right with you, Professor?
Is it all right with you?

281
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,118
[CHUCKLING]

282
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,037
I, uh... I think I'm being had.

283
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:06,837
By your own sense of
limiting convention under the guise of insincere politeness.

284
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,156
Find a seat.

285
00:26:09,360 --> 00:26:12,033
What's your entire name?

286
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,310
HUTCH:
Hutchinson, Ken.

287
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:22,353
Now, ladies and gentlemen,
you have just witnessed a prime example of an act of innocence.

288
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:26,758
An act, I say. Hutchinson, Ken
behaved as if it were all a matter of bad timing.

289
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:31,715
Excuse me, Professor. Uh,
can we forget about the bad timing and just resume the class?

290
00:26:34,360 --> 00:26:37,955
Oh, your timing was perfect,
Hutchinson. The class never stopped.

291
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:42,392
You are a living example
of what I'm trying to teach all these fair-minded students.

292
00:26:45,360 --> 00:26:50,150
When an act of illegality occurs,
when a breaking of the rules takes place,

293
00:26:50,360 --> 00:26:54,478
be it coming late or stealing
the cookies or committing a murder...

294
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:03,430
it is intentional and planned
by the individual, who must assume responsibility in one form or another.

295
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,632
Correct, Hutchinson, Ken?

296
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,674
I do not ask rhetorical questions.
Do you agree?

297
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:18,510
As a matter of fact, I don't.
I came late. That's no crime.

298
00:27:20,120 --> 00:27:26,559
And you certainly can't equate my act,
which... Even if it was intentional, which it certainly wasn't,

299
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:28,671
with murder.

300
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:33,351
That's ludicrous.
You stopped apologising.

301
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:37,439
And you do have an opinion. Good.

302
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,108
Now, listen carefully.

303
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:45,474
The crime is not equal.
That is not what I said.

304
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:50,117
I did say that
when we break the rules,

305
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:54,359
there is that salacious part of us
that knows it and does it by choice.

306
00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:02,316
And that part exists in you,
Hutchinson, in you, Stanley, and in you, Rachel.

307
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,990
And in the man who commits murder,

308
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,829
who exercises his freedom
of breaking the rules

309
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:13,635
and assuming responsibility
for his actions.

310
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:20,030
DOBEY [OVER RADIO]:
Starsky, this is Dobey. Where are you?

311
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,959
STARSKY:
I'm at the professor's house. I'll fill you in later.

312
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,116
DOBEY:
Just be careful.

313
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,396


314
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:13,958
Hello?

315
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,116
Anybody home?

316
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:43,512
It's not what you think.

317
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:45,113
How do you know what I think?

318
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,790
You think I'm a thief, right?
No.

319
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:53,357
Actually it's that Mercedes
out in front. A '63, right?

320
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:59,439
I'm a nut for old Mercedes,

321
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,074
so I, uh... I rang the bell.

322
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:05,192
Honest, I did.

323
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:09,757
Nobody home. So, I know
what beach living is like.

324
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:14,795
I came around, figuring there
was somebody in the water or on the porch,

325
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,197
and I came up, and I knocked.

326
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,358
Definitely did. And...

327
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:26,350
Well, I ended up inside,
figuring that...

328
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,391
Well, uh...

329
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:36,999
Here we are.
Yes, aren't we?

330
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,873
What do you want?
Uh...

331
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:44,039
Your forgiveness, a glass of water
and a Mercedes. In that order.

332
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:52,556

333
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,794
Water.

00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:34,232
Oh, are we gonna have a fish dinner
tonight! Well, Starsky, don't just sit there, get a net!

506
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:36,078
A net? A net.
Get a net! Get a net!

507
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:38,350
OK, all right! Where is it?
Come on! Get it!

508
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:40,039
Where is it?
Oh, this is a biggie!

509
00:46:40,240 --> 00:46:41,753
Come on!
Where is it?

510
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:43,188
Hold this!
What?

511
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:44,879
Hold this!
OK, I got it.

512
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:46,832
Yeah, well, let me out! Let me out!
I got it!

513
00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:49,998
OK. Oh, it's a big one.
I got it! I got it! I got it!

514
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:52,555
I got it! I got it! Get the net, will you?!
I'm getting it.

515
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:54,716
Get it, get it!

516
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:57,434
The line's gone dead.
Oh, terrific!

517
00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:01,394
HUTCH: No, it hasn't. No, it hasn't.
It's just an old trick the fish play to fake you out.

518
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:03,909
Ah, ah, he's still on.
He is?

519
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:05,439
HUTCH:
Yeah. I got it!

520
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:06,993
Aah!
MARY: Aah!

00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:11,356

00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:16,518
Well, uh...

524
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:21,118
Uh, let's have
a spaghetti dinner, huh?

525
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:23,276
I'll buy, huh?

526
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:33,750
