There will be no more ransom notes. 516 00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:11,959 Hello, please. 517 00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:15,660 I think I may have something on the Westcott kidnapping case. 518 00:40:15,980 --> 00:40:19,680 There's a car at lookout point. It's been there for two days. It answers a 519 00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:20,880 description of the kidnapped car. 520 00:40:48,930 --> 00:40:49,930 Okay, shoot. 521 00:40:50,710 --> 00:40:53,530 Number one, there was no car at lookout point. 522 00:40:54,150 --> 00:40:56,710 Number two, the call came in at 1-18. 523 00:40:57,210 --> 00:41:01,450 At 1-05, Westcott left his house, went to a phone booth, and made a call. 524 00:41:01,730 --> 00:41:03,730 The time, 1-18. 525 00:41:04,450 --> 00:41:05,388 Go on. 526 00:41:05,390 --> 00:41:08,690 Why didn't he use his own phone? Because he was afraid the call could be traced. 527 00:41:09,070 --> 00:41:11,510 Now, this is the second wild goose chase we've had about this car. 528 00:41:11,890 --> 00:41:14,370 Westcott both times for exactly the same reason. 529 00:41:14,770 --> 00:41:18,390 For a period of time, maybe an hour, maybe less... He would be certain that I 530 00:41:18,390 --> 00:41:19,390 wouldn't be anywhere near him. 531 00:41:19,950 --> 00:41:20,950 But why? 532 00:41:21,070 --> 00:41:24,110 Because he's hiding something. And if he's hiding something, he's in it 533 00:41:24,110 --> 00:41:26,970 somewhere. And if he's in it somewhere, his story smells. 534 00:41:27,750 --> 00:41:29,550 Maybe Harry hasn't gone in for kidnapping. 535 00:41:29,990 --> 00:41:31,910 Maybe he was just going about his business as usual. 536 00:41:32,570 --> 00:41:34,470 Maybe nobody was in the car. 537 00:41:36,730 --> 00:41:37,730 I've thought of that myself. 538 00:41:38,390 --> 00:41:41,270 Suppose Westcott has to get rid of a body. That would be a pretty good reason 539 00:41:41,270 --> 00:41:42,270 for wanting me out of the way. 540 00:41:42,990 --> 00:41:46,530 There are two places he can't let it be found. In his home and in the lake. 541 00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:50,480 And if nobody was in the car, then it's got to be in one or the other. 542 00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:52,720 And I'm betting it's in his cellar. 543 00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:54,480 Do I move in? 544 00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:57,560 Don't you think you're moving too fast? 545 00:41:57,860 --> 00:42:00,740 No, I'm not moving too fast. There's something fishy about all this. 546 00:42:00,980 --> 00:42:02,380 I'll stake my reputation on it. 547 00:42:02,820 --> 00:42:03,820 And your job? 548 00:42:04,340 --> 00:42:05,340 And my job. 549 00:42:09,720 --> 00:42:11,060 A hundred dollars? 550 00:42:11,380 --> 00:42:16,380 Now look at here, Lopez.

You tell him 580 00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:15,520 that after the lake is dragged and my wife is not found, I'm going to sue him, 581 00:44:15,720 --> 00:44:19,880 you, the city, and the divers' union. Now put that in your teletype. 582 00:44:27,900 --> 00:44:32,600 Well, I did a great job in there.

I thought he would walk right through the sidewalk. 590 00:44:54,270 --> 00:44:57,510 Sharon, this is the first time since this whole thing started that I feel 591 00:44:57,510 --> 00:44:59,910 safe.

Now look, if we got there ten minutes later than 595 00:45:10,610 --> 00:45:13,770 we did, his wife would have been at the bottom of the lake and we would have had 596 00:45:13,770 --> 00:45:14,770 his car, right? 597 00:45:15,550 --> 00:45:18,170 All right. So we got there ten minutes later than we did. 598 00:45:18,870 --> 00:45:20,610 We stick to that or we're through. 599 00:45:22,830 --> 00:45:25,730 Now we got to get rid of the body. We got to get rid of it so it'll never be 600 00:45:25,730 --> 00:45:29,930 found. And since we're telling ourselves that we got there ten minutes later than 601 00:45:29,930 --> 00:45:31,490 we did, where would the body be? 602 00:45:33,770 --> 00:45:34,870 At the bottom of the lake. 603 00:45:36,050 --> 00:45:40,250 And just to make the story stick in our minds, that's exactly where it's gone. 604 00:45:40,910 --> 00:45:42,010 Okay, put her in the trunk. 605 00:45:46,450 --> 00:45:47,530 Put her in the trunk. 606 00:46:30,410 --> 00:46:31,950 There is little I can add. 607 00:46:32,190 --> 00:46:37,830 We did want you to hear what Mr. Westcott said when the police found his 608 00:46:37,830 --> 00:46:38,830 beloved's body. 609 00:46:39,410 --> 00:46:44,810 However, we aren't allowed to send it through the mails. It was not his finest 610 00:46:44,810 --> 00:46:48,590 hour. By the way, we have a new complaint. 611 00:46:49,510 --> 00:46:54,950 Certain parties are claiming that the picture is coming through excellently, 612 00:46:55,030 --> 00:46:57,070 but that I look distorted. 613 00:46:58,580 --> 00:47:04,580 Now I shall be handled in a most suitable manner and not tossed so 614 00:47:04,580 --> 00:47:06,320 recklessly about in transit. 615 00:47:06,900 --> 00:47:13,860 I'm sure that next week I shall arrive completely free of any unsightly bulges 616 00:47:13,860 --> 00:47:14,960 or wrinkles.
