Some kind of convention. 43 00:03:03,570 --> 00:03:06,230 They asked me if I knew another guy who could join the party. 44 00:03:07,250 --> 00:03:08,250 You interested? 45 00:03:08,710 --> 00:03:09,710 I don't know. 46 00:03:10,390 --> 00:03:14,670 The worst that happens is you walk out like...

Not too far. 49 00:03:23,620 --> 00:03:25,080 Wouldn't hurt to check it out, would it? 50 00:03:28,700 --> 00:03:30,680 I guess not. I could use a little fun. 51 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:33,300 We all could, Fred. 52 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:35,080 We all could. 53 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:46,180 The victims generally wake up the next morning with a headache, an empty 54 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,420 and an acute case of embarrassment. 55 00:03:49,020 --> 00:03:52,100 They report the credit cards as lost and go home. 56 00:03:52,620 --> 00:03:55,260 By the time we get on to it, we're too late. 57 00:05:21,629 --> 00:05:22,830 Take your time. 58 00:05:23,570 --> 00:05:24,570 Dust everything. 59 00:05:29,570 --> 00:05:30,570 Are you ready? 60 00:05:30,670 --> 00:05:31,670 We can take them. 61 00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,160 No visible signs of violence. Name's Danny Fremont. He isn't registered here. 62 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,400 Mr. Kalemsky, Chief Ironside. Mr. Kalemsky for manager. 63 00:06:03,620 --> 00:06:08,360 Mr. Kalemsky, 30 years in the motel business, this never happened. You hear 64 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,900 other people, it happens to them. To me, never. 65 00:06:11,100 --> 00:06:15,080 Who rented this room from you, Mr. Kalemsky? A nice -looking fellow comes 66 00:06:15,180 --> 00:06:16,400 registers as Frank Rogers. 67 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,260 We'll check it out. It's got to be a family. 68 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,320 Did you see anyone else? In the car, two girls. 69 00:06:23,500 --> 00:06:24,940 I gave them a look, you know. 70 00:06:25,900 --> 00:06:28,460 And he smiles and says he's having a couple of guests in for a drink. 71 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,020 If they should get too loud, I should let them know. Did you see Fremont come 72 00:06:32,020 --> 00:06:33,380 in? Oh, yes and no. 73 00:06:33,980 --> 00:06:36,100 The taxi pulled up later right to the room. 74 00:06:36,780 --> 00:06:39,080 I guess it was him coming to the party. Were they loud? 75 00:06:39,380 --> 00:06:40,840 No, a little laughing, that's all. 76 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,060 Then a man and two girls left by car. 77 00:06:44,420 --> 00:06:46,300 I figured it was the first fellow staying over. 78 00:06:47,660 --> 00:06:49,840 Until this morning when the maid came in. 79 00:06:51,910 --> 00:06:55,950 Believe me, in 30 years... Would you be able to identify the man who rented the 80 00:06:55,950 --> 00:06:56,950 room? 81 00:06:57,450 --> 00:06:58,450 I think so. 82 00:06:59,390 --> 00:07:00,390 Yes. 83 00:07:01,190 --> 00:07:02,190 Here. 84 00:07:03,790 --> 00:07:06,270 Anything else at the moment? No, thank you. 85 00:07:10,290 --> 00:07:11,290 Where is it? 86 00:07:14,130 --> 00:07:17,070 His driver's license is still here, but not much else. 87 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,460 Well, who shoots for the taxi that brought him and who stays at the motel? 88 00:07:21,460 --> 00:07:22,460 stay with the motel. 89 00:07:24,780 --> 00:07:26,280 I want a thorough job. 90 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:27,700 I'll put it through a sieve. 91 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,480 This is some lunch you invited me to. 92 00:08:02,020 --> 00:08:03,320 I've got to talk to you, Joe. 93 00:08:03,700 --> 00:08:04,700 Talk. 94 00:08:07,140 --> 00:08:09,380 You know that second mark you brought us last night? 95 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,120 He calmed down.

What do you think? 103 00:08:34,270 --> 00:08:35,490 I think you better tell Al. 104 00:08:37,330 --> 00:08:40,929 Yeah, but will he be a little bit sore? I don't know. 105 00:08:41,850 --> 00:08:44,110 What I do know is we don't do anything without orders. 106 00:08:44,650 --> 00:08:46,630 And we report everything that goes on. 107 00:08:47,430 --> 00:08:48,470 Yeah, but this. 108 00:08:49,570 --> 00:08:55,470 Listen, Joe, I... Maybe you could come with me, you know, to tell Al. All 109 00:08:56,900 --> 00:08:57,900 How did it happen? 110 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,340 I tell you, I don't know. 111 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,800 Everything was going great. You know, lots of laughs and some booze. 112 00:09:05,540 --> 00:09:07,800 And I fixed the drink. Marilyn gave it to him. 113 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,920 Well, the next thing I know, he's on the bed breathing like somebody sitting on 114 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:12,740 his chest. And then, bang, the guy's dead. 115 00:09:14,980 --> 00:09:16,480 He looked okay to me. 116 00:09:16,940 --> 00:09:19,280 Like some well -heeled guy on the town. I figured he'd be easy. 117 00:09:21,180 --> 00:09:22,180 And healthy. 118 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:24,720 How did I know he was going to conk? 119 00:09:25,460 --> 00:09:27,380 I didn't put any more in the drink than I did before. 120 00:09:29,140 --> 00:09:32,100 Well, look, now you're looking at me like I did something terrible. You did. 121 00:09:32,620 --> 00:09:33,620 What? 122 00:09:35,340 --> 00:09:38,520 Okay. The guy conked on you. It could happen. 123 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,540 But did you take off quietly like nice people so as not to attract attention? 124 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:44,879 That's just what we did. 125 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:45,880 And what's this? 126 00:09:47,060 --> 00:09:49,100 You could have got out of there nice and clean. 127 00:09:50,380 --> 00:09:53,500 Cops would have figured the guy died in his sleep, or at the very worst, some 128 00:09:53,500 --> 00:09:54,900 chick slipped him a bad drink. 129 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:56,520 But no. 130 00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,020 You had to lift his cards. 131 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,160 You've connected us to it. 132 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:05,880 Get rid of these. 133 00:10:07,300 --> 00:10:10,840 Burn them, eat them, I don't care what you do with them, but get rid of them! 134 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,760 They want this racket cleared up, but they want it done quietly. 135 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,600 Quietly isn't going to produce immediate results. What we need are posters, 136 00:10:29,940 --> 00:10:33,860 pamphlets, TV, newspaper warnings. And a lot of conventions are going to think 137 00:10:33,860 --> 00:10:37,180 twice about coming here if they get the impression that the city isn't safe. 138 00:10:37,740 --> 00:10:42,540 No city was ever safe for people who accept invitations to strange rooms. You 139 00:10:42,540 --> 00:10:45,580 can't change human nature, Bob. And the city can't have it both ways. 140 00:10:45,900 --> 00:10:49,460 You know that, but apparently the city fathers do not. My orders are to clear 141 00:10:49,460 --> 00:10:51,820 this up in a hurry with the least possible noise. 142 00:10:52,100 --> 00:10:53,100 Except for me. 143 00:10:56,700 --> 00:10:57,700 Hello? Yes. 144 00:10:59,560 --> 00:11:00,560 Yes, 145 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:02,660 Chief Farnsley is here with me now. 146 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:04,200 I'll tell him. 147 00:11:06,579 --> 00:11:10,540 Coroner says Fremont died of a heart attack induced by knockout drops. 148 00:11:10,860 --> 00:11:12,120 Fremont died of murder. 149 00:11:30,460 --> 00:11:32,080 It's bound to happen sooner or later. 150 00:11:33,130 --> 00:11:36,450 With three million a week involved, I'm surprised this is the first homicide 151 00:11:36,450 --> 00:11:37,450 that's turned up. 152 00:11:37,570 --> 00:11:38,830 Find anything at the motel? 153 00:11:39,130 --> 00:11:41,590 Prints all over the place, but so far no make on anybody. 154 00:11:41,910 --> 00:11:43,690 Could have been left over from guests weeks back. 155 00:11:43,910 --> 00:11:46,990 Any word from the cab companies yet? They're checking the driver's trip 156 00:11:47,110 --> 00:11:50,750 It takes a while. It's unlikely that any driver who's shilling for a sideline 157 00:11:50,750 --> 00:11:51,870 would put it on his trip sheet. 158 00:11:52,130 --> 00:11:53,130 Do we break the story? 159 00:11:53,770 --> 00:11:54,990 Could put a crimp in their operation. 160 00:11:55,250 --> 00:11:58,430 The commissioner would prefer that we solve the murder and put them behind 161 00:11:58,430 --> 00:11:59,430 quietly. 162 00:12:02,110 --> 00:12:05,080 Ironside. I checked out three more reports of lost cards. 163 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:10,500 Two elderly fisters, a minister and his wife, and a young junior executive type 164 00:12:10,500 --> 00:12:12,660 who looks like he's got a hangover and a guilty conscience. 165 00:12:13,020 --> 00:12:14,980 Would you like to talk to him? I would indeed. 166 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:16,440 I thought you would. 167 00:12:16,680 --> 00:12:19,520 He's waiting in my honor office. I'll bring him right over. Fine, thank you. 168 00:12:20,740 --> 00:12:22,200 Hangover, guilty conscience. 169 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:24,360 Pretty good poly. 170 00:12:24,380 --> 00:12:25,740 They usually run as an entry. 171 00:12:38,190 --> 00:12:41,050 This is an awful lot of fuss over a couple of lost credit cards, isn't it? 172 00:12:41,290 --> 00:12:45,090 What would you say if I told you someone was killed while losing his credit 173 00:12:45,090 --> 00:12:46,090 cards? 174 00:12:46,230 --> 00:12:47,129 You're kidding. 175 00:12:47,130 --> 00:12:50,150 No, we're not. Mr. Mathis, we need your help. We need the truth. 176 00:12:51,330 --> 00:12:53,350 Look, I already told your office. 177 00:12:53,590 --> 00:12:55,590 My pocket was picked. May I see your wallet? 178 00:12:57,450 --> 00:13:01,070 Now, what did they do? Pick just your credit cards and leave the wallet? 179 00:13:02,630 --> 00:13:04,870 Look, I just didn't think it was so important. 180 00:13:06,500 --> 00:13:08,740 My boss thinks I'm out here strictly on business, you know. 181 00:13:09,680 --> 00:13:11,200 I have to protect myself a little. 182 00:13:11,780 --> 00:13:15,560 Which do you think your boss would object more to, the parties or the lying 183 00:13:15,560 --> 00:13:16,560 the police? 184 00:13:17,340 --> 00:13:18,340 Well, listen. 185 00:13:18,940 --> 00:13:21,700 Look, I mean I reported it, didn't I? Not the way it really happened. 186 00:13:36,590 --> 00:13:39,890 Cab driver told me where there was a party going on. The cab driver told you? 187 00:13:39,990 --> 00:13:44,970 Yes, he said there was a guy and two girls and they were looking for another 188 00:13:44,970 --> 00:13:46,070 fella. Where was this party? 189 00:13:46,430 --> 00:13:49,210 Some motel. I don't remember the name. Do you remember where it was? 190 00:13:50,270 --> 00:13:53,550 I'm not sure. I wasn't paying much attention. 191 00:13:53,790 --> 00:13:54,789 You know, they all look alike. 192 00:13:54,790 --> 00:13:56,750 You woke up the next morning with an empty wallet. 193 00:13:56,990 --> 00:13:59,670 An empty wallet and the motel manager wanting his money for the room. 194 00:14:00,010 --> 00:14:02,670 You'd think it'd at least be fair enough to pay the motel bill. There's nothing 195 00:14:02,670 --> 00:14:05,130 funny about this, Mr. Mathers. Nothing at all. 196 00:14:07,050 --> 00:14:09,390 No, I guess not.

Any other strings there? 223 00:15:38,700 --> 00:15:42,920 One. A handwriting expert is analyzing the signature of Frank Rogers on the 224 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:43,920 motel registry. 225 00:15:44,340 --> 00:15:47,720 Once we get a fix on his handwriting, I'll have my boys comb the rest of the 226 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:49,300 motels to see what other names he's been using. 227 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,360 When we get the pattern, we'll alert them, and they'll be on the lookout for 228 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:53,420 him.

What do you want from me? An arrest. 235 00:16:06,970 --> 00:16:11,270 The most pronounced affectation is the way he prints the capital letter of the 236 00:16:11,270 --> 00:16:13,210 name and then scripts the rest. 237 00:16:13,870 --> 00:16:15,870 Now, the two R's are interesting. 238 00:16:16,270 --> 00:16:19,030 Just the slope up, over, and down. 239 00:16:19,270 --> 00:16:20,510 No loops or curls. 240 00:16:20,750 --> 00:16:23,130 What about the way the whole last name kind of runs together? 241 00:16:23,430 --> 00:16:25,090 I don't think that's a normal slopover. 242 00:16:25,770 --> 00:16:28,050 Chances are your man deliberately writes fast. 243 00:16:28,490 --> 00:16:31,310 to make the letters run together and therefore harder to identify. 244 00:16:31,910 --> 00:16:34,950 I'd say you'd find it in his other alias signatures as well. 245 00:16:35,550 --> 00:16:38,590 How fast can we get a print of that? They're ordered. You should have them in 246 00:16:38,590 --> 00:16:40,090 couple of hours.

Mr. Hancock, do 366 00:23:30,620 --> 00:23:33,700 you have any sort of driver supervision on the street, I mean? Yeah, I have 367 00:23:33,700 --> 00:23:34,860 supervisors on each shift. 368 00:23:35,220 --> 00:23:38,160 They cruise, generally keep an eye out for a cab. Then they know all the 369 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:39,860 drivers. Well, from their own garage, yeah. 370 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,860 We have three garages. Each one has their own supervisor. 371 00:23:43,180 --> 00:23:46,740 Then if one of your men sees a driver he doesn't recognize, he just figures he's 372 00:23:46,740 --> 00:23:48,920 from another garage, right? Yeah, I guess he would. 373 00:23:49,140 --> 00:23:51,280 And would not take any particular notice. 374 00:23:52,020 --> 00:23:54,420 Well, not unless the driver were in some kind of trouble. 375 00:23:56,340 --> 00:23:59,860 I'm sure you have a reason for wanting to know about fleet operations, Chief. 376 00:23:59,960 --> 00:24:00,960 Yes, I do. 377 00:24:02,700 --> 00:24:05,980 If there were a cab on the street with your colors and your name on it, but it 378 00:24:05,980 --> 00:24:07,620 wasn't one of your cabs. 379 00:24:08,940 --> 00:24:12,620 How would you go about locating him? I'd call the Bureau of Licenses, have the 380 00:24:12,620 --> 00:24:13,620 man's card pulled. 381 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:17,680 He's not listed there. What about the cab numbers?
