1 00:00:00,490 --> 00:00:01,490 It's impossible. 2 00:00:02,990 --> 00:00:05,590 She's dead. That is a fact, Mr. Cole. 3 00:00:05,930 --> 00:00:08,690 But then, so is the postcard. 4 00:00:08,990 --> 00:00:10,590 You act as if you want Gail to be alive. 5 00:00:10,970 --> 00:00:12,630 You act as if you want her to be dead. 6 00:00:17,110 --> 00:00:18,170 I've lost enough. 7 00:00:18,430 --> 00:00:20,110 I don't care what it costs. 8 00:00:20,790 --> 00:00:23,870 Don't take any more from me. Are you saying Mrs. 9 00:00:24,510 --> 00:00:28,990 Portman is in danger? I'm saying Walter's death wasn't coincidental. 10 00:01:23,580 --> 00:01:24,820 Good ones, I trust. 11 00:01:25,100 --> 00:01:30,240 Oh, well, right now, the first time we met, there I was, frantic. I couldn't 12 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:34,140 imagine where Walter had gone. Didn't know where to start looking, whether to 13 00:01:34,140 --> 00:01:39,380 call the police and then the doorbell. And when I opened the door, there you 14 00:01:39,380 --> 00:01:41,260 stood in the pouring rain. 15 00:01:41,980 --> 00:01:47,280 I must say, I've always had a weakness for uniforms, Robert, and you were 16 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,880 very dashing, even though you were soaked to the skin. 17 00:01:51,690 --> 00:01:56,790 And there you were, Walter, looking like a drowned rat, hanging onto Robert's 18 00:01:56,790 --> 00:02:00,970 hand. Do you remember what he said? Mrs. Portman, it seems you've been lost. 19 00:02:01,910 --> 00:02:07,210 I'm glad your boy and I finally found you. Oh, how marvelous you remembered. 20 00:02:07,610 --> 00:02:09,590 Mainly the brandy you forced on me. 21 00:02:09,910 --> 00:02:10,910 Purely medicinal. 22 00:02:11,170 --> 00:02:15,910 Naturally. But that night I was the most amiable, forgiving cop in the history 23 00:02:15,910 --> 00:02:17,550 of the San Francisco Police Department. 24 00:02:19,450 --> 00:02:20,450 Yes, Lily. 25 00:02:20,620 --> 00:02:23,880 I was just wondering, Mrs. Portman, will there be three for lunch? 26 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:25,080 Oh, of course. 27 00:02:25,140 --> 00:02:26,500 Robert, you will stay, won't you? 28 00:02:27,580 --> 00:02:33,380 Well, I... hadn't planned on it. Bother your plans. I don't know what divine 29 00:02:33,380 --> 00:02:36,600 inspiration made you drop in on us, but I'm not going to let you go. 30 00:02:37,420 --> 00:02:41,300 Yes, Lily, there will definitely be three for lunch. Very well, Mrs. 31 00:02:42,340 --> 00:02:44,400 Make that four, Lily. I asked Simon to draw five. 32 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:46,840 Simon! 33 00:02:47,310 --> 00:02:47,929 Oh, dear. 34 00:02:47,930 --> 00:02:50,950 You're not going to have one of those dreary squabbles again, are you? I hope 35 00:02:50,950 --> 00:02:51,950 not. 36 00:02:52,570 --> 00:02:56,530 Simon is our attorney. And since father died, the administrator of our estate, 37 00:02:56,730 --> 00:02:58,890 we sometimes disagree. 38 00:02:59,570 --> 00:03:02,930 Sometimes? Taking my name in vain again, Wally? As usual, yes. 39 00:03:03,150 --> 00:03:03,989 Good morning. 40 00:03:03,990 --> 00:03:06,350 Good morning. You're looking well today. Thank you. 41 00:03:06,910 --> 00:03:10,670 I'd like you to meet an old friend, Robert Ironside. This is Simon Cole. 42 00:03:11,370 --> 00:03:12,370 Mr. Cole? 43 00:03:12,650 --> 00:03:15,030 Ironside? Chief Ironside? Mm -hmm. 44 00:03:15,579 --> 00:03:17,980 Don't you know you should never talk to the police without your attorney 45 00:03:17,980 --> 00:03:21,600 present? Oh, here, your mayo's on the hall table. I'll take that. 46 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,060 Mother, there's nothing important there, please. Mother, don't read this. 47 00:03:27,620 --> 00:03:29,180 The diamond... 48 00:04:49,099 --> 00:04:50,240 Oh, the doctor will be right over. 49 00:04:51,340 --> 00:04:52,700 What do you suppose that was all about? 50 00:04:53,660 --> 00:04:55,400 Joanna acted as though she'd seen a ghost. 51 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:56,800 She has. 52 00:04:58,780 --> 00:05:01,920 Was the Putman's your clients when their daughter was still alive? 53 00:05:02,500 --> 00:05:04,480 Gale? No, no, but I've heard about her, of course. 54 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:06,200 It was a terrible tragedy. 55 00:05:13,900 --> 00:05:14,900 It's impossible. 56 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,880 She's dead. That is a fact, Mr. Cole. 57 00:05:20,740 --> 00:05:23,400 But then, so is the postcard. 58 00:05:27,420 --> 00:05:30,780 Did you get a hold of Dr. Abel? Yes, he's on his way. How is Joanna? 59 00:05:31,840 --> 00:05:33,140 Well, I think she'll be all right. 60 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,780 With the shock, with her heart, I... You knew who the card was from, of course. 61 00:05:38,100 --> 00:05:40,280 Well, it isn't the first time. 62 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:42,520 They've been coming the past three months. 63 00:05:45,710 --> 00:05:47,430 How'd you manage to keep these from your mother? 64 00:05:47,730 --> 00:05:49,470 Well, I happened to get the mail when the first one arrived. 65 00:05:50,190 --> 00:05:51,530 Naturally, it worried me. 66 00:05:52,010 --> 00:05:54,990 I kept a close watch from then on. I always had Lily hold the mail for me. 67 00:05:56,070 --> 00:05:57,110 Chief, I need your help. 68 00:05:58,730 --> 00:06:01,770 I wondered why the sudden invitation after all these years. 69 00:06:01,970 --> 00:06:07,570 I'm sorry. It must seem very ungracious of me, but I wanted the thing handled 70 00:06:07,570 --> 00:06:10,730 quietly, and I could trust only you. You might have told me. 71 00:06:10,950 --> 00:06:11,950 Well, you're here now, aren't you? 72 00:06:12,170 --> 00:06:14,930 I want Chief Ironside to find out who's sending these cards, and then I want you 73 00:06:14,930 --> 00:06:15,930 to take legal action. 74 00:06:16,530 --> 00:06:17,530 Walter. 75 00:06:18,750 --> 00:06:21,130 These cards were really sent by Gail. 76 00:06:21,370 --> 00:06:24,950 I can't believe that. It's a slim chance, but it can't be ignored. 77 00:06:25,490 --> 00:06:27,390 No, no, you really can't mean that. 78 00:06:27,630 --> 00:06:29,430 I'll have to investigate every possibility. 79 00:06:30,730 --> 00:06:31,730 All right. 80 00:06:31,870 --> 00:06:33,790 All right, just stop the cards. 81 00:06:36,610 --> 00:06:39,570 I'd like a sample of her handwriting. Have you kept anything? 82 00:06:42,350 --> 00:06:47,250 As your mother kept in it. Chief, I don't understand you. You act as if you 83 00:06:47,250 --> 00:06:48,250 Gail to be alive. 84 00:06:49,690 --> 00:06:51,010 I don't understand you. 85 00:06:52,350 --> 00:06:54,190 You act as if you want her to be dead. 86 00:07:02,470 --> 00:07:03,870 First one was from Boise. 87 00:07:04,170 --> 00:07:07,950 Then a week later, Spokane. Another week, Portland. Then Grants Pass, 88 00:07:07,950 --> 00:07:10,230 City. The one mailed yesterday, Sausalito. 89 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,220 She could be here in the city right now. 90 00:07:12,500 --> 00:07:14,320 Well, she obviously traveled by car. 91 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,700 Could have hitchhiked. In either case, it's a long, tedious job trying to trace 92 00:07:18,700 --> 00:07:19,700 her that way. 93 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,320 Report you wanted from the M .E.'s office, Chief. 94 00:07:27,820 --> 00:07:31,100 They're sorry it took so long, but they had to do a lot of digging. 95 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:33,000 I'm a patient man. 96 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:34,399 Hey, Ed. 97 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:35,400 There's some stew left. 98 00:07:36,100 --> 00:07:37,180 Thanks. I had a sandwich. 99 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:39,680 This is vague as I remembered. 100 00:07:40,490 --> 00:07:41,490 What is it? 101 00:07:41,630 --> 00:07:43,110 Gordon and Gail Portman to death. 102 00:07:43,370 --> 00:07:45,830 Main basis for identification came through the process of elimination. 103 00:07:46,350 --> 00:07:49,810 She was the only one in the house that night who couldn't be accounted for. The 104 00:07:49,810 --> 00:07:51,170 night she happened to die in the hippie fire. 105 00:07:51,450 --> 00:07:52,450 Usual story. 106 00:07:53,110 --> 00:07:54,110 Precocious teenager. 107 00:07:54,510 --> 00:07:56,330 Rigid, uncompromising father. 108 00:07:57,390 --> 00:07:58,390 Indulgent mother. 109 00:07:58,710 --> 00:07:59,710 No communication. 110 00:08:00,930 --> 00:08:02,410 Gail ran away when she was 14. 111 00:08:02,810 --> 00:08:04,470 Disappeared in Hashberry for about a year. 112 00:08:05,330 --> 00:08:07,090 Family finally traced her to the commune. 113 00:08:08,230 --> 00:08:09,230 Then the fire. 114 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:12,560 Chief Ironside's office. 115 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,040 Uh, yeah, just a minute. 116 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:16,680 Walter Portman. 117 00:08:19,180 --> 00:08:20,179 Yes, Walter? 118 00:08:20,180 --> 00:08:23,540 Mother saved some letters Gail wrote from summer camp when she was 12. 119 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,100 I have them. Good. 120 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:29,140 I'll send someone to pick them up. No, I have an important meeting. I don't want 121 00:08:29,140 --> 00:08:30,720 to be disturbed. I'll drop them by your office tomorrow. 122 00:08:31,500 --> 00:08:32,500 Whatever you say. 123 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:34,120 How's Joanna feeling tonight? 124 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:35,940 Fine. Good night, Chief. 125 00:08:37,419 --> 00:08:40,000 You ask me, that is one cat strung up tight. 126 00:08:42,190 --> 00:08:43,570 About Gail, there's something else. 127 00:09:24,910 --> 00:09:28,610 Emmy estimates that Portman's been dead about six or seven hours. Well, he does 128 00:09:28,610 --> 00:09:30,930 an autopsy. He's putting time of death at 2 a .m. 129 00:09:31,350 --> 00:09:32,350 Sounds reasonable. 130 00:09:33,310 --> 00:09:34,310 Looking for something? 131 00:09:34,650 --> 00:09:39,490 No. According to the housekeeper, nothing else is missing.

Some paper, she thinks, of Mrs. Portman's 134 00:09:43,930 --> 00:09:47,090 jewelry. The insurance company can give us a rundown. At the moment, I'll 135 00:09:47,090 --> 00:09:50,670 consider the theory that Walter was killed when he interrupted the burglary. 136 00:09:50,670 --> 00:09:53,650 I can't accept the fact that the burglar also took Gail Portman's letters. 137 00:09:56,099 --> 00:09:58,840 Search Walter's room. That's the only other place the letters could be. 138 00:09:59,700 --> 00:10:02,260 Oh, Chief, Joanna would like to see you. 139 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,920 I thought the doctor had given her a sedative. She refused. 140 00:10:13,860 --> 00:10:15,940 Joanna, you should rest. 141 00:10:17,500 --> 00:10:18,500 What for? 142 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:20,480 To give me more time alone? 143 00:10:20,860 --> 00:10:21,860 Mrs. Portman! 144 00:10:25,130 --> 00:10:26,150 Lily, what's the matter? 145 00:10:35,450 --> 00:10:36,450 Hello, Mother. 146 00:10:56,330 --> 00:10:59,850 What do you think? Is she really Gail Portman? What I think is unimportant. 147 00:10:59,850 --> 00:11:01,590 mother seems more than willing to accept her. 148 00:11:08,290 --> 00:11:09,570 Did you find the letters? 149 00:11:09,850 --> 00:11:11,910 No. Where would a burglar want what's in? 150 00:11:12,410 --> 00:11:13,410 Good question. 151 00:11:14,670 --> 00:11:16,130 All right, back to the office. 152 00:11:17,210 --> 00:11:18,210 Wait a minute. 153 00:11:33,680 --> 00:11:34,619 Her old man? 154 00:11:34,620 --> 00:11:35,860 Or even her husband? 155 00:11:36,680 --> 00:11:37,680 Whatever. 156 00:11:38,580 --> 00:11:40,960 How many surprises can Joanna endure? 157 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:42,360 All right, let's go. 158 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:50,800 Mother? 159 00:12:02,270 --> 00:12:03,430 This is my husband, Philip. 160 00:12:04,190 --> 00:12:05,190 Philip Thomas. 161 00:12:05,530 --> 00:12:08,310 Philip. I'm pleased to meet you, Mrs. Portman. I've heard a lot about you. 162 00:12:08,910 --> 00:12:09,910 And this is Mr. Cole. 163 00:12:10,370 --> 00:12:11,670 How do you do, sir?

Or a strange coincidence. 170 00:12:34,750 --> 00:12:38,290 We heard about Walter on the radio this morning. 171 00:12:38,930 --> 00:12:40,590 I felt that Mother needed me now. 172 00:12:41,050 --> 00:12:42,650 After all these years. 173 00:12:45,190 --> 00:12:46,190 I know. 174 00:12:48,490 --> 00:12:50,110 I've hurt you terribly, haven't I? 175 00:12:50,790 --> 00:12:52,050 Can you ever forgive me? 176 00:12:52,290 --> 00:12:53,950 No, no, no, no.

Dr. Cole, I don't know if this will mean anything to you. It's all I 183 00:13:11,900 --> 00:13:12,900 have left. 184 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,640 The locket we gave you on your 12th birthday. 185 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:18,880 I'm sorry. 186 00:13:19,560 --> 00:13:22,740 I've lost your picture. There are dozens of lockets like that. After all these 187 00:13:22,740 --> 00:13:25,740 years, how can you remember... The date, Gail's name. 188 00:13:25,980 --> 00:13:27,040 She could have had it engraved herself. 189 00:13:27,260 --> 00:13:28,260 Oh, Simon. 190 00:13:29,560 --> 00:13:30,560 Cool it, huh? 191 00:13:31,060 --> 00:13:35,240 Maybe we made a mistake just coming by like this today.
