Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated: 1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:29,480 calories. 2 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:35,920 was murdered. Roberta Rhodes. The movie star? Six months ago she insured her life with us 3 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,680 for one million dollars. I say murder, she gets two million dollars. I say suicide, she 4 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:44,000 gets nothing. I couldn't kill Bobby, I loved her. Now this case is just too big for us 5 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:48,480 to be sitting around on our evidence. Our evidence? Did you pop that in front of this 6 00:00:48,480 --> 00:01:15,280 place again? Did she take her own life? We have two eye witnesses to murder! 7 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:20,400 Is this the way you like it honey? Oh yeah, perfect, you learn fast. That's cause I have 8 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:27,000 a great teacher. Now there's one small thing though. What's that? Your chipper is scraping 9 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:33,440 my ribs. Holy mack, I forgot I still had it in my pocket. You're a good sport, you know 10 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:38,880 that honey? Here it is almost midnight. Well you promised me a weekend of exercise, fresh 11 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:44,640 air and togetherness and that's what I'm getting. You said we have to scrape the entire aft 12 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:50,680 deck before you varnish it tomorrow. So? So, you do it alone, it'll take all night. I've 13 00:01:50,680 --> 00:02:03,760 got better things planned for you. Quincy. Oh no. I'm not here. You heard me say absolutely 14 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:08,920 under no circumstances, right? I did unplug the telephone, didn't I? Okay, I'll get rid 15 00:02:08,920 --> 00:02:16,120 of him. First law of the sea. I could shoot you for boarding without permission. I'm sorry 16 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:25,080 Quincy but they want you on it right now. Why are you whispering? Roberta Rhodes. The 17 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:40,560 movie star? Yeah. Oh my god. There he is. Hey, Quincy. Doc, can we have a statement? 18 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:58,200 I'm not going to do anything. Hey, I'm not going to do anything. Quincy, hey. As soon 19 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:05,560 as I know anything you'll know. Lighten up, all right? Lighten up. Get a man a chest to 20 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:06,400 do his job. Oh, Quincy, Sam, she's in her bedroom. What time is it? It's 12.41. I want temperatures, 21 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,440 I want the room diagram. Who's the photographer? Me Quincy. All right, let's start shooting. 22 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:15,280 Let's go to Mrs. Spangler. Who else we got? Freddie Box. Get him in here. Right here, 23 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:23,840 Dr. Quincy. Oh god. All right, all right. I know it's tough. Don't think about who she 24 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:28,520 is, just do your job. Sam, when you and Freddie start bagging and labeling the glass, I want 25 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:33,320 a clear diagram of where every sliver of glass was found, okay? Watch with your step, Ed. 26 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:34,320 Okay, all right. 27 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:41,320 All right. 28 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:16,640 Where have you been? In the living room, checking out the mother. And? She's too loaded to make 29 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:21,160 much sense. Well, she reported it, didn't she? Yeah. Well, if she's sober enough to 30 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:26,040 dial a telephone, she's sober enough to talk. Give me two minutes. 31 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:36,840 I'd like to make it simple for you, Monahan, and say suicide, but there are too many problems. 32 00:04:36,840 --> 00:04:42,960 Contusion of the corner of her eye with atypia swelling. There's a crash mirror here. I don't 33 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:49,080 know. Could be suicide, could be homicide, could be accidental. Oh, that nerves the down 34 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:54,400 real nice. Well, you're going to have an autopsy report in a couple of hours? These are what? 35 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,200 The cigar band collection? 36 00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:04,200 The pills to cure migraines, pills to ease muscle spasms, and pills to unclog nasal passages. 37 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:09,560 And there was an empty scotch bottle found in the bathroom. Now, all that booze and all 38 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:15,280 these pills, add them all up, Quincy. What do you got? You still got nothing, Monahan, 39 00:05:15,280 --> 00:05:16,280 that would kill her. 40 00:05:16,280 --> 00:05:36,400 Mrs. Rhodes, Lieutenant Monahan, this is Dr. Quincy, our medical examiner. My condolences, 41 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:45,440 Mrs. Rhodes. Are you all right? Yes. Tell me what happened. Well, it has the appearance 42 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:54,440 of acute barbiturate intoxication. Suicide? I can't say yet. There is a strong possibility. 43 00:05:54,440 --> 00:06:06,040 I think of all we went through to put you up there. What a waste. Well, if you're through, 44 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:30,000 get out. Come on. I'm Dr. Quincy. I'm the presiding medical officer. The victim has 45 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:34,520 been positively identified as Roberta Rhodes, actress. She died within an hour or two of 46 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:38,800 midnight. Now, that's all I have to say now. Thank you. Dr. Quincy, any truth to the rumor 47 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:44,000 that the body of Mrs. Rhodes was found completely naked? Oh, come on, Clarence. That tactic 48 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,960 is wearing pretty thin, isn't it? Why don't you talk to one of the younger fellows? They 49 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:49,360 might help you update your act. 50 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:54,080 Doctor, given the hour and the extreme amount of time you spent inside, you must have some 51 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:55,080 opinion. 52 00:06:55,080 --> 00:07:03,080 Oh, I have an opinion. I think we've lost a very nice lady. Now, excuse me, please. 53 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:14,400 Cute. Come on, Dr. Foley, but just give us a story. 54 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:20,000 Unassistably quick. Is it a sex case? Dr. Quincy, how did it feel to perform an autopsy 55 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:28,000 on one of the most beautiful women in the world? Don't you ever say anything like that 56 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:35,000 to me again. Do you understand that? Ever. 57 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:49,000 Pathetic. Have any lockdown sets? They got the drone squad sealing off the lab. You let 58 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:50,000 that stop you? 59 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,960 I think I found a very good possibility. A young kid in investigator training. If he's 60 00:07:54,960 --> 00:08:01,440 handled right, he can keep us very well informed. That'll help. I've never seen such tight security. 61 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:06,240 Do you think that they connected Mr. Wonderful to that bedroom last night? No, if they knew, 62 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:11,320 they'd interrogate him. Right now, he's carrying on his business as usual. So let's print 63 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:18,160 it anyway. And get what? Another denial? No, I want his name on police reports, on Karn's 64 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:24,080 reports. Then I'll print it. What did you scratch up about this Quincy? Well, he stepped 65 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:31,080 out of a very lucrative private practice to do this. Makes about a tenth of what he could. 66 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:36,200 Man of character. Refreshing. 67 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:44,080 Quincy, I just want you to know that you have my full support in the preparation of your 68 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:48,400 evidence. I mean, I really, really appreciate the pressures on you. Well, we get used to 69 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:53,360 those things, don't we? And given time, we put all the pieces together. I guess I'm just 70 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:58,640 not making myself clear. We don't have any time, Quincy. I mean, I just spoke to Deputy 71 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:03,440 Mayor Lefebvre about the inquest. What inquest? We don't have a case. What are you talking 72 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:08,040 about? Let's not get upset. Now, this case is just too big for us to be sitting around 73 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:13,480 on our evidence. Our evidence? What evidence? We have a smashed mirror with no apparent 74 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:17,640 cause, an unexplained contusion, a fresh copy of the Alcride with a picture of Roberta Rhodes 75 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:23,340 on the front page, and this. That's an empty evidence bag. That's right. An empty 76 00:09:23,340 --> 00:09:26,800 bag which should contain an empty barbiturate bottle, but a dozen because there was none 77 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:31,800 at the scene. And so, for my next step, I'm going to go home and go to sleep because I 78 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,320 can't even think straight anymore. 79 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:41,240 Quincy. Good idea. You just get some rest. I just wanted to mention that Deputy Mayor 80 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:45,880 Lefebvre is already requesting a jury. Why don't you tell the Deputy Mayor that turned 81 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:51,560 blue, doesn't he? There isn't even a case that he wants to... 82 00:09:51,560 --> 00:09:59,960 No, it's exhaustion, Sam. Well, once you get a couple hours shut eye, you'll feel better. 83 00:09:59,960 --> 00:10:06,960 Not me, Quincy. Oh, good, good. 84 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:19,480 Dr. Quincy, Paul Riordan, about crime. No comment. 85 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:24,320 Well, I'm not trying to pester you when to comment, Doctor. I was hoping you'd be receptive 86 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,880 to one of mine. Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you. 87 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:33,120 Doctor, I have highly confidential information concerning this Rhodes' death. Someone was 88 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:38,000 with her last night when she died. A lover. 89 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,440 Who? Oh, well, not so fast, Doctor. This information 90 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:46,600 is worth an exclusive. An exclusive for the Alcride. Isn't that the paper that reports 91 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:50,600 love affairs between movie stars who never even met one another? 92 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:55,320 You know, Doctor, our newspaper has the largest circulation of any newspaper in the United 93 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:59,160 States. Now, I know that's hard to believe, but we are very important to people because 94 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:03,320 we publish what other newspapers are afraid to print. 95 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,960 Or too honest to print. Now, aren't you prejudging what I'm about 96 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:11,760 to say? For instance, what would the public think when they learn that Miss Rhodes was 97 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:16,840 with Congressman Charles Sinclair when she died? 98 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:22,080 Raiden, you better get out of here before I lose my temper. 99 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,880 Now, we have reason to believe that he's implicated in a lot more than suicide. 100 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,600 Then why don't you go to the police? I dare you. 101 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:32,800 Well, we're a weekly, Doctor. Now, if I went to the police, it would be in every headline 102 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,400 before I could publish it. And you think I want to sit on this news? 103 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:42,000 Well, yes, because you don't believe me. So you'll check it out. 104 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,960 You really are very sure of yourself, aren't you? 105 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:52,680 No, I'm sure of you. I happen to know that you know the Congressman personally. 106 00:11:52,680 --> 00:12:00,320 You better get out of here, Raiden. Now. Now, it's not going to look good, Doctor, when 107 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:04,320 the public knows that you deliberately covered up information. 108 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:14,760 And I'm telling you, Charles Sinclair was with Roberta Rhodes in her bedroom last night. 109 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:27,560 But, Charlie, drop spot number six. Nobody wants to hear about it. 110 00:12:27,560 --> 00:12:32,760 Number six. Wait a minute. That's the offshore oil spot. That's vital here, Pat. They just 111 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,080 had a big spill in Oxnard last week. Research says it's a negative. Everybody's 112 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:41,200 more concerned about gasoline shortages. Pat, we have to talk about this. 113 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,640 Use it at the colleges if you want to. But we're not going to buy air time to promote 114 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:49,320 a negative issue. Hey, Congressman. 115 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:58,320 Quincey. What the heck are you doing here? Don't you need votes? 116 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:04,000 Sure, but you wouldn't vote for me. Your doctors are all rich and conservative. I'm a flaming 117 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,920 liberal, haven't you heard? Well, I'm not exactly a medical mogul, you 118 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,200 know. I did give up my practice. You gave up medicine? 119 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,480 No, I didn't give up medicine. I joined the coroner's office. I'm a medical examiner. 120 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,240 You're kidding. I don't care about a thing like that. Listen, 121 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,920 I've been hearing what you've been saying about the offshore oil safeguards. I agree 122 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,600 with you. I live at the beach. You know, you couldn't be more right. Keep saying it and 123 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,400 don't listen to your friends. Oh, we'll stay on it. Maybe not with the 124 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:28,440 paid spots, but I'm going to get that legislation up when I'm elected. 125 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,800 Anybody can. Hey, can I buy you some coffee? 126 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,800 Sure, Cap. Good to see you. 127 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,120 Listen, I'm sorry to hear about you and Charlotte, the separation. 128 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:40,240 Well, you knew that there were some problems between us, you know, and each one of different 129 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,600 things. You know, I don't begrudge her wanting to spend 130 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:50,480 her money skiing, but I'm a professional meddler. If I can't be busy changing the world for 131 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:55,640 the better, I'm not happy. Listen to me. You're campaigning. I'm always making sense, which 132 00:13:55,640 --> 00:14:00,240 makes my reason for being here more absurd. But I got to do it, Charles. I got to ask 133 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,720 you something. It's my job. Your job? What does the coroner's office 134 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,320 have to do with me? Roberta Rhodes. 135 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,800 Okay, cameras in position one. Stand by to roll. 136 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:10,960 I see. Charles, we're just about ready to roll tape. 137 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:19,960 Yeah, I'll be with you in a minute. Quince, I know Roberta. I knew her. 138 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:25,320 We were even seeing each other for a while. Is that what you wanted to ask me about? 139 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:29,080 No. And did you see her last night? Oh, then heavens no. I haven't seen her for 140 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,720 weeks. We broke it off when I announced my candidacy. 141 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:37,200 Then you can't account for last night? Absolutely. I was at campaign headquarters all 142 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,360 evening with a couple dozen people. Hey, Charles, do you have any idea how much 143 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:44,520 this studio costs an hour? Go to work. Go to work. Will you, Congressman? 144 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,520 God, it's good to see you. Nice to see you. 145 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,880 Why don't you stick around for a minute? No, I can't. I got to get back to work. But 146 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,000 lunch sometime we'll have a talk. I'm gonna count on it. 147 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,000 All right. You gonna vote for me? 148 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,000 You do the right things, I will. Okay. 149 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:59,840 Thirty seconds to tape. My daughter was murdered by Congressman 150 00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:06,840 Charles Sinclair. I don't understand something, Mrs. Rhodes. 151 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:10,200 Why now? Why didn't you tell us this last night? 152 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:14,160 I was afraid. I can't tell you how afraid I was. 153 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:22,080 Oh, it's no secret. He and Roberta were having an affair and is worried his political backers 154 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:28,280 and they insisted that it end. You see, she wasn't good enough. She wasn't 155 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:35,360 clean enough for their paragon of human virtue. Well, early last evening, Roberta went to 156 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:40,040 his apartment and, I don't know, something must have happened because he followed her 157 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:47,040 back here around ten o'clock. I saw him arrive in that Jaguar he drives. 158 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:54,040 It's a mean sounding car. I never mistake that sound. 159 00:15:54,040 --> 00:16:01,800 They haven't let up for weeks and they're not going to. 160 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:06,040 Roberta, you're being silly and hysterical. I'm not. Newspaper has made me look like 161 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:11,200 a prostitute. You could stop them, Charles. I know you could. 162 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:17,480 Look at me. Roberta, look at me. I'm running for the United States Senate. 163 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,840 I could very well lose and we can't afford to be seen together, not while this candle 164 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,520 sheet's on us and not until Charlotte and I are divorced. 165 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:29,400 It wouldn't matter if you loved me. Stop being infantile. My backers have read 166 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:33,040 me the riot act. I've got to clean up my life. 167 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:39,560 Clean up your life? Am I the dirt in your life? Is that what that means? 168 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,760 Exactly. I clean it up when they're finished with me. 169 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:48,760 Stop that. Leave her alone. No, no, no. 170 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:58,760 No, no, Charlie, please. Stop it. Stop it. Charlie, no, no. 171 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:04,200 And when I came to, he was standing over her and she was dead. 172 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:08,160 What did you do? I pretended I was still unconscious until 173 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:15,600 after he'd gone. Mrs. Rhodes, would you show us where the congressman 174 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:19,640 gets you? Yes, certainly. 175 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:32,160 That's a bad bruise, Quincy. I'm sorry. And then later on, after he'd gone, I telephoned 176 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:36,840 the police. And between then and the time that you arrived, 177 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:41,700 one of Charles' henchmen phoned me and threatened my life if I were to tell you what I'm telling 178 00:17:41,700 --> 00:17:45,880 you now. You have no idea who threatened you? 179 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:53,040 No, no, except that he said he worked for Charles. He had a very deep voice and his 180 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:57,160 language was obscene. All right, Mrs. Rhodes, we'll give you round 181 00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:09,560 o'clock protection. Oh, thank you, Lieutenant. 182 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:13,760 What's with you, Quincy? You're sick. I don't believe her. 183 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,600 I knew Charles Sinclair in the days when he was a public defender. 184 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:22,000 Which explains your objectivity. Listen, now, I know you gotta speak to the 185 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,400 congressman, but will you be soft? For once in your life, will you be discreet? 186 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:29,560 I appreciate it, Quincy. I'm always soliciting good advice on how to do my job. 187 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:33,680 Will you listen to me? There are newspapers in this town that are laying for him. 188 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:37,040 If they even get a hint that he was involved with Roberta Rhodes on the night of her death, 189 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:41,360 they'll crucify him. This is hard evidence, Quincy. Concrete, stand 190 00:18:41,360 --> 00:18:44,480 up and court testimony. Oh, you know why she wanted me here? 191 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:48,480 I say murder, she gets two million dollars. I say suicide, she gets nothing. 192 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:52,760 She made a formal statement in writing. I don't care if it's written in blood. 193 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,520 I spoke to Charles Sinclair this morning and he told me he hasn't seen him for weeks 194 00:18:55,520 --> 00:19:03,200 and I believe him. You spoke to Charles Sinclair this morning? 195 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:08,520 Well, he's an old pal. You knew about him and Roberta Rhodes? 196 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:12,000 Well, really, you know, the aqua he tipped me in her. 197 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:16,800 Quincy, you hear me and hear me good. The next time you get tipped, no matter how 198 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:21,880 or who, I want that information on my desk immediately and not two hours later. 199 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:38,920 And if it happens again, I'm citing you on suppression of evidence. 200 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:46,880 Are you trying to tell me that you've been here? Oh, honey, look at all this scraping 201 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,600 you did all by yourself. I told you not to do that. 202 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,560 Well, I don't mind. Besides, I got some sleep. 203 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:58,240 Yeah, I'll bet you did. Wow. Look at this. You did the work of four sailors. 204 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:03,360 Look at those calluses. And look what's rolling in. 205 00:20:03,360 --> 00:20:05,520 Where? Up there, clouds. 206 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:10,560 They're beautiful. Might even be the kinds that have the silver lining. 207 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,880 When you cut it up, you know what happens if rain hits the bare wood? 208 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,760 They're going to swell. They're going to warp. Get to look like roof shingles. 209 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:25,080 You mean we did all this work just to ruin your ship? 210 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:29,040 Oh, no, honey. I didn't mean anything like that. We'll beat it. 211 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,600 I just got to get some varnish down before the trouble comes in. 212 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:36,080 But I can't. Something's wrong? 213 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:43,040 Oh, Quincy, go do it. You're no good to me the way you are. 214 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,160 I'll varnish. Oh, sure. I'm going to let you varnish. 215 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,880 That you did all the scraping all by yourself. 216 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:53,200 Quincy, go. I am going to go. 217 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,320 But you're going to promise me that you're going to sit right here and do nothing but sunbathe. 218 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:57,840 You understand? I want you to relax and sunbathe. 219 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:02,240 Here, read the magazine. Not that one. 220 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,040 The Handyman. 221 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:10,880 Quincy. Charlie. 222 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,800 Well, in the world, I don't see you for three years and you turn up twice in one day. 223 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,880 I have to talk to you, Charlie. Sure, come on in. 224 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:18,240 Can I get you a beer or something? 225 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,520 Right now, the only thing I have a taste for is the truth. 226 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,240 You happen to have any of that on hand? 227 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,160 Roberta. Yep, Roberta. 228 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:27,920 Quincy, I told you. I haven't seen her. 229 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,840 Charlie, the police are on their way here. Now, they have a sworn statement that you killed her. 230 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,080 Killed her? That's right. 231 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:38,800 Quincy. Who would say such a thing? 232 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:44,320 Her mother. Funny. 233 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:48,560 You take people for granted and then you turn around and they've got your life in their hands. 234 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:54,080 Remember that old adage, be nice to people on the way up because they can kill you on the way down? 235 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:58,480 You know, I always just dismissed her as a harmless, irrelevant drunk. 236 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:03,520 Well, a drunk she may be, but her testimony is far from irrelevant. 237 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:09,760 It's not true, Quincy. Look, I don't know why she lied, but you've got to believe me. 238 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,000 I couldn't kill Bobby. I loved her. 239 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:13,600 You loved her? 240 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:14,480 Yes, I did. 241 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,480 But you did stop seeing her. 242 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:21,280 Quincy, there are some things that are very hard to explain. 243 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,400 Charlie, Lieutenant Monahan will be here any minute. 244 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,200 Now, Mama's not having any trouble. She has an explanation for everything. 245 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:31,760 Well, look, I don't understand her statement. Why? 246 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:37,440 Look, I know she didn't approve of many men in Bobby's life, but to accuse me of murder is crazy. 247 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,720 Well, I think I can fill in the why, but I want you to understand the position you're putting 248 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:44,160 yourself in if any of your story is untrue. 249 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:48,960 Now, that's Lieutenant Monahan. Are we ready for him? 250 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:49,760 Okay. 251 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:50,560 Quincy. 252 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:52,240 What? 253 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:53,920 I did lie. 254 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:54,640 What? 255 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:58,000 Not about killing her. That's... But I saw her. 256 00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:58,400 When? 257 00:22:58,400 --> 00:22:58,800 Last night. 258 00:22:58,800 --> 00:22:59,200 Oh, Charlie. 259 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,720 Quincy, I'm sorry. Look, it just seems so innocent. I thought... 260 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:10,640 No, it... It was too much of a nightmare to repeat. 261 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:14,640 People just wouldn't understand. 262 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,160 Well, you're gonna have to give him a chance. 263 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:23,760 Oh, if you'll excuse my rudeness, gentlemen. I, uh... I tried your front door, but it doesn't seem to work. 264 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:27,760 And your driver, I believe, he was kind enough to let us come up the back way. I hope you don't mind. 265 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:32,640 No, it's quite all right. I was engrossed in conversation with my old friend. I'm Charles Sinclair. 266 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,360 Oh, yes, surely. Lieutenant Monahan. 267 00:23:35,360 --> 00:23:38,640 Uh, this is Sergeant Burrell. Charles Sinclair. 268 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,440 And this is Miss Polk. Would you sit down, would you? 269 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:46,000 You don't mind, Congressman? Sit down, Miss Polk. Miss Polk's my stenographer. 270 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:54,880 Well, now, I trust you two gentlemen have come up with, uh, something quotable? 271 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,440 Oh, look there, Monahan. I resent that. There's been no commotion here. 272 00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:02,160 Never mind what you resent. I resent private investigating on public time. 273 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:08,960 Now, I think it only fair to inform you, Congressman, that you've been formally accused of murdering Roberta Rhodes by her mother. 274 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:16,960 And, uh, oh, Miss Polk here, she has a, uh, type copy of her testimony, which you can either accept or deny. 275 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:18,960 I suggest you read it. 276 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,960 That won't be necessary. Quincy's already filled me in. 277 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:28,960 Oh, he has, has he? Well, then, that should make it a lot easier for you. 278 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:32,960 What have you to say to the allegation? It's a blatant lie. 279 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:42,960 All right. Now, if it wouldn't inconvenience our city medical examiner, the police department would like hearing your story firsthand. 280 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,960 And Miss Polk here, she'll take it down for public record. Public record? 281 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:48,960 Come on, Monahan, you can't... 282 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:54,960 Naturally, Congressman, I'll keep all the facts as confidential as I can, providing it all seems to work out. 283 00:24:54,960 --> 00:25:00,960 Well, we appreciate that. And so will Chief Thomas. The mayor and the governor, they're enthusiastic supporters of Chuck's. 284 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:02,960 Quincy? Lieutenant? 285 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:04,960 Pat Doyle, my campaign manager. 286 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:06,960 How do you do? 287 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:12,960 Pretend like I'm not even here. You go right ahead with your statement and, uh, let the record show it's completely voluntary. 288 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:16,960 We're all very anxious for this matter to be completely put to rest, you understand? 289 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:18,960 Do you were about to say something, Charlie? 290 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:20,960 Tell us about last night. 291 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:28,960 Well, uh, she was demanding more of me. She wanted more of some sort of commitment. 292 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,960 She came here to the apartment last night. She was depressed and angry. 293 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,960 Bobby, you know you're not to come here. There could be reporters following you. 294 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:42,960 What do you expect? It was a dear John phone call. You don't even have the decency to tell me to my face? 295 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,960 For once. Well, you faced the realities. I'm running for the Senate. That's what you're doing. 296 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:52,960 What about my life? What about my career? I can't even get a decent picture anymore, Charlie. 297 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:58,960 What's happened to us? We love each other. 298 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:00,960 The campaign happened. 299 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:06,960 I went for a swim this morning, and do you know if there were reporters in the trees? 300 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,960 We can stop them. All we have to do is tell them the truth. 301 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:16,960 That we love each other. I'm being threatened with the loss of my major supporters. That means I could lose it all. 302 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:21,960 And I've worked hard for it. What about what I've worked hard for? Huh? 303 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:26,960 Everything that I've worked for is right down the drain now. 304 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:32,960 I could get it back, though. All I have to do is have a talk with Reardon about us. 305 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:34,960 What is that? 306 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:40,960 You wouldn't do that. Why not? 307 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:44,960 They're only after me because of you. 308 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:49,960 And you're just like all the rest of them. My mother, the studio, all of them. 309 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:55,960 The takers, every single one of them. Well, I'm sick and tired of giving. 310 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:59,960 If you walk out on me, Charlie, I'll give that outcry everything it wants. 311 00:26:59,960 --> 00:27:05,960 That's absurd. Now just stop it! 312 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:11,960 I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. 313 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:23,960 I'm sorry. I'm sorry. 314 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:36,960 You don't love me anymore. 315 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:48,960 It's over, isn't it? You don't even have the guts to say it. 316 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:55,960 It's all right. It doesn't matter. 317 00:27:55,960 --> 00:28:03,960 It doesn't matter. Nothing matters. 318 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:08,960 Bobby. 319 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:12,960 Why, Charlie? Why? 320 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:25,960 Please, please. 321 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,960 For a while she couldn't control her crying. 322 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:32,960 Then she seemed to calm down and she went into the bathroom to fix herself up. 323 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,960 And she fixed herself up and then drove home? 324 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:42,960 Yes. Later that night, about 12.30, when I was driving home from a campaign meeting, 325 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:49,960 I heard the news of her death over the car radio. I immediately drove up to Benedict Canyon. 326 00:28:49,960 --> 00:29:00,960 I saw what was going on. I heard all sorts of rumors. Murder, suicide, drug overdose, attempted rape works. 327 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:07,960 And then I drove home. I'll never forget that drive home. 328 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:11,960 Charlie, why didn't you come forward with this last night? 329 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,960 The congressman's actions were perfectly understandable, Doctor. 330 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:20,960 I mean, he was just trying to avoid unnecessary involvement in a death that he had nothing to do with. 331 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,960 Well, why don't you let him speak for himself? 332 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:28,960 He's right, Quincy. I was afraid. 333 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:35,960 That bruise under her eye, she didn't have that when she was with you last night? 334 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:36,960 No. 335 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:38,960 No. 336 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:40,960 Oh, you were there too, Mr. Doyle. 337 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:44,960 She didn't have it, Quincy. 338 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:50,960 Well, I think that'll be enough for now. I'm leaving, Doctor. Or are you a house guest? 339 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:52,960 No, I'm leaving. 340 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:59,960 Congressman, Mr. Doyle, I'll keep in touch. 341 00:29:59,960 --> 00:30:04,960 So, this is the lab report on the Rhodes telephone. 342 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:08,960 There were little slivers of glass embedded in the phone case, and there were no fingerprints. 343 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:13,960 Clearly it was the phone that broke the mirror. That means that Mrs. Rhodes was telling the truth. 344 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:17,960 It means that it's homicide clear and simple, and I am telling Lefebvre that we are ready to go. 345 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,960 Wait a minute, will you? 346 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,960 Maybe Roberta Rhodes threw the telephone at the mirror in a fit of temper. 347 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:24,960 Against whom, our mother? 348 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:25,960 Why not? 349 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:26,960 Why not? 350 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,960 Maybe she was angry at the person at the other end of the phone. 351 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:33,960 That's a lot better explanation for throwing a princess telephone in self-defense. 352 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,960 Quincy, what's it going to take? 353 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:40,960 I can't hold Lefebvre off any longer, and when he hears about Mrs. Rhodes' stay time... 354 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:44,960 The time. That's all I'm asking for. It's a little time. 355 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,960 Don't pick up the phone and say we're ready when we're not. 356 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:51,960 I mean, if he forces the issue, I'll understand. I promise you that. 357 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:52,960 No heel dragging. 358 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:53,960 No heel dragging. 359 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:54,960 You're getting in line. 360 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:55,960 Getting in line. 361 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:56,960 Take your licks. 362 00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:57,960 Take my licks. 363 00:30:57,960 --> 00:30:58,960 And the rest of the team. 364 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:00,960 Yes, just give me a little time. That's all. 365 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:02,960 Let me in here. I'm gonna bust some hips. 366 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:07,960 All right, I don't call the deputy mayor. But if he calls me, I'm not giving him any more excuses. 367 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:08,960 No, okay. 368 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:10,960 Quincy, we've got a problem on the second floor. 369 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,960 A guy trying to get in to see Roberta Rhodes says he's her husband. 370 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,960 Oh, no. 371 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:20,960 Do you have any say here? 372 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:24,960 Yes, I do, Mr. Tucker. Okay, I recognize him. Come on. 373 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:26,960 I guess they're not football fans. 374 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,960 See, the press has been using any boost they can to get in there and take pictures. 375 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,960 Look, all I want to do is see Bobby. 376 00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,960 Okay. I'll make the arrangements. 377 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,960 Her mother's gonna want a circus. Roberta wouldn't want that. 378 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:42,960 But I guess it'll be what she gets. 379 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,960 Well, it's really up to what you and Mrs. Rhodes decide. 380 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,960 Ex-husbands don't count for much, Doc. 381 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:58,960 But if there's anything that needs to be done, any expenses, anything, I'll be there. 382 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:02,960 I'll always be there, honey. 383 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:03,960 When did you find out about it? 384 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:05,960 Yesterday. 385 00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:10,960 Oh, do I have an alibi? I was in Europe. 386 00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,960 Oh, I didn't mean anything like that, honest. 387 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:16,960 She loved violets. 388 00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,960 We're gonna have to see that she gets fresh violets every day. 389 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,960 Maybe you could see that Mrs. Rhodes gets this. 390 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:29,960 It was one of Roberta's favorites. 391 00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:33,960 I think she might want a place where people could see it. 392 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:37,960 We are most of us very lonely in this world. 393 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:42,960 Those of you who have loved ones, cling to them and thank God. 394 00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:53,960 Did she take her own life? 395 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:55,960 We don't know yet. 396 00:32:55,960 --> 00:33:07,960 I'll be around. 397 00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:11,960 I don't get it. What does it mean? 398 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:17,960 It means my job. If anyone finds out I showed you this, it doesn't hit the street for two days. 399 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:23,960 Well, it's not right. Quincey's a good guy. He's not involved in any conspiracy. 400 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:27,960 You don't have to tell me about Quincey. From what I hear, he is the best. 401 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:34,960 But my boss is out to bring down Congressman Sinclair, and he doesn't care if he crushes Quincey along the way. 402 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:39,960 Well, who the hell is your boss that gives the right to print that kind of thing? 403 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:46,960 Mr. Reardon, my boss, has almost got the proof we need that Sinclair murdered Roberta Rhodes. 404 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:50,960 Oh, come on. Quincey's not even sure it's a murder. 405 00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:54,960 Mr. Reardon has got a tape that would change your mind. 406 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:58,960 It would change Quincey's mind too, but he doesn't trust him. He thinks he's part of the cover-up. 407 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,960 Now, I personally do not believe that. 408 00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:12,960 I think that I can get Mr. Reardon to kill this story, forget about Quincey, and go after Sinclair with both barrels, if you will just give us a little help. 409 00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:20,960 Wait a minute. I just saw his office door open. He's free. Now, are you with me or not? 410 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:22,960 What is it? 411 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,960 This is Freddy Voss. He works for Dr. Quincey down at the coroner's office. 412 00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:30,960 I have nothing further to say to Dr. Quincey or to any of his subordinates. 413 00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:32,960 He wants to help us. 414 00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:39,960 Look, I gave Quincey a chance. I told him what was going on. He chose to ignore me, or he was ordered to. 415 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:46,960 Mr. Reardon, I've done some checking, and I am convinced that Dr. Quincey would welcome someone blowing the lid off the Sinclair case. 416 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:50,960 Right now, his hands are tied. He'd lose his job if he revealed his findings. 417 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:52,960 And he sent this man to leak the truth to us? 418 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:57,960 Oh, no, no, no, no. He can't know anything about this arrangement. It would put him in a terrible spot. 419 00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:01,960 Freddy here would have to do that on his own. 420 00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:03,960 What? You mean me leak official records? 421 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:08,960 Yeah, well, I don't know that I'm interested. I'm not sure I want to let Quincey keep his job. 422 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:13,960 Mr. Reardon, I'm trying to tell you, Dr. Quincey is caught in a vice. 423 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:17,960 And unless we let Freddy here leak us the reports, as they become available to us... 424 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:19,960 No, no, no, I don't know if I can do that, Floyd. 425 00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:26,960 He doesn't know. You offer him a deal, and he reneges before I even accept it. 426 00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:32,960 Now, will you just get out of here, Floyd? This headline runs, and we go after Quincey. 427 00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:39,960 Now, wait a second. Maybe I'd be willing to help, sir, if I could only hear the tape. 428 00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:44,960 You told him about the tape? 429 00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,960 Uh, Mr. Reardon, I'm sorry. You see, I thought that... 430 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:56,960 Floyd, please, leave us. I want to talk to Mr. Voss alone. 431 00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:03,960 I'm sorry, Mr. Reardon. I just wanted to keep a nice guy from getting hurt. 432 00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:08,960 Mr. Reardon, he was only trying to help. I promise I won't tell anyone. 433 00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:12,960 Yes, well, the damage is done. 434 00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:22,960 Looks like I'm forced to trust you. 435 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:26,960 What was the date? 436 00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:28,960 The 19th. 437 00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:33,960 The night Roberta died. 438 00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:34,960 Yes? 439 00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:36,960 Hello, Miss Rhodes. Paul Reardon. How are you? 440 00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,960 How am I? I'm exhausted. 441 00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:41,960 Exhausted? Whatever from? 442 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:42,960 You've ruined everything. 443 00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,960 Oh, Miss Rhodes, I don't think that's quite fair. 444 00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:48,960 Wouldn't it be more accurate to say that Mr. Charles Sinclair... 445 00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:52,960 Mr. Reardon, I'm scared. Scared for my life. 446 00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:56,960 Is that why you don't want to talk? Because Mr. Sinclair threatened your life? 447 00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:57,960 Please. 448 00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,960 Well, has he or hasn't he? Has Mr. Sinclair threatened your life? 449 00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:01,960 Yes. 450 00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:06,960 Oh, you poor thing. I can understand your terror. It's hard to believe. 451 00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:14,960 A man who wants to become a senator so much, he doesn't care whether people like you, people who care about him, wind up by the wayside. 452 00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:19,960 Now, if I may make a suggestion or two, in your own interest, of course, and I... 453 00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:23,960 Miss Rhodes? Are you still there, Miss Rhodes? 454 00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:29,960 Any questions? 455 00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,960 What do you want from me? 456 00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,960 I'll keep Quincy from getting caught in a squeeze. 457 00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:42,960 If you get me everything that comes out of the coroner's office that they turn up with during their investigation. 458 00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:44,960 All right. 459 00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:50,960 Okay. I just hope I've done the right thing, protecting Quincy. 460 00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:52,960 You have. 461 00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:56,960 Floyd, I want you in my office right now. 462 00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:08,960 Now, you did very nicely, Floyd. You have a real flair. I think you're gonna do very well on this paper. 463 00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:13,960 Dr. Gressy, I'd like you to meet Roy Keefer, ball group, CB, life and casualty. 464 00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:16,960 How are you, Doc? We're the carriers for Roberta Rhodes. 465 00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:18,960 You're a fast-moving outfit. 466 00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:26,960 What can I do for you? 467 00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:26,960 You know, six months ago, she, uh, insured her life with us for one million dollars. 468 00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:34,960 Now, I'm sure I look pretty foolish filing law to men of your profession, but a suicide would terminate our obligation to pay the death benefit. 469 00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,960 And murder would mean a two million dollar double indemnity. 470 00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:43,960 If indeed it is a murder. But according to Dr. Aston's description, the barbituric poisoning... 471 00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:48,960 That would, uh, make that seem most unlikely, wouldn't you say? 472 00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:52,960 Unlikely, yes. Impossible, no. 473 00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:54,960 Excuse me a minute, sir. 474 00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:56,960 Sure. 475 00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:58,960 What's going on here? 476 00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:02,960 That insurance brokerage is a private carrier. Has no right to anything until it's announced. 477 00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:08,960 Really, doctor? I've known Roy Keefer for 20 years. He's a reputable broker and a darn nice guy. 478 00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:10,960 Now, what's the harm? 479 00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,960 The harm is his private business has no right inside these gates. 480 00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:19,960 Doctor, your nerves are showing. I would remember that we are all on the same side. 481 00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:23,960 Then he'll understand why he's out. 482 00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:25,960 Mr. Keefer. 483 00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:29,960 Doctor. 484 00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:34,960 The slide you're looking at, that was taken from the contusion at the corner of Miss Rose's eye. 485 00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,960 Now, Sam and I guessed jeweler's alloy last night. 486 00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:40,960 And Sam's powwow with the metal arrow just confirms it. 487 00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:46,960 All right, now, what I see here is that she was struck by a piece of jewelry, no doubt connected to some human appendage. 488 00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:48,960 And not too long before she died. 489 00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:51,960 Otherwise, the swelling on her eye would have been more than incipient. 490 00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:55,960 Put the photo enlargement on the screen. I want him to see the impact, Pater. 491 00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:56,960 All right. 492 00:39:56,960 --> 00:40:02,960 It looks as if someone's ring caught her just beside the super-orbital ridge. 493 00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:07,960 But then we could have murder. 494 00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:12,960 We could have, we could have. Right now, all we have is that someone struck her. 495 00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,960 Well, right, but one thing certainly suggests the other. 496 00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:17,960 Well, don't you? Maybe, maybe not. 497 00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:21,960 Now, wait a minute. What kind of an answer is that? The evidence is clear. 498 00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:23,960 Quincy, why are you hedging? 499 00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,960 The contusion under her eye. It's more than two hours old. 500 00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:30,960 She had it when she was with Charles Sinclair. He lied. All right? 501 00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:43,960 We were very good friends, the three of us. He, his wonderful wife Charlotte, myself. 502 00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:52,960 I remember the day she gave him her ring. He loved it. He still wears it. 503 00:40:52,960 --> 00:41:00,960 It's gold and it's platinum. The same alloy that struck Miss Rhodes. 504 00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:06,960 Certainly, Dr. Astin, I'll be happy to cooperate. 505 00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:15,960 You sink in deeper with every lie. 506 00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:19,960 Take off the ring and give it to me. 507 00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:20,960 Why? 508 00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:26,960 Because I have busted my butt giving you four months of the best political management money can buy. 509 00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:29,960 Because of me, you can win, Charlie boy. 510 00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:34,960 Now, put yourself together. Look, she's dead. 511 00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:38,960 There's nothing we can do now to change it. 512 00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:44,960 You're all muscle and bone, aren't you, Doyle? You don't understand a thing. 513 00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:47,960 I understand it, Charlie. Now, you understand me. 514 00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:56,960 There's no time and no money for losers. If you want that Senate seat, you do exactly as I say. 515 00:41:56,960 --> 00:42:09,960 Look, stop thinking like a loser, Charlie. Give me the ring. 516 00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:10,960 What do you think you're doing? 517 00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:15,960 What does it look like I'm doing? I'm varnishing. 518 00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:22,960 I know how to walk on a varnish boat. You told me you were going to sunbathe, that you were going to relax. You weren't going to do anything. 519 00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:26,960 No, that's what you told me I was going to do. But this is what I'm doing. 520 00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:27,960 Give me the brush. 521 00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:33,960 No, no. Get your own brush. Come on. Varnishing's what we decided to do in the first place, so let's do it. 522 00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:34,960 Can't talk you out of it? 523 00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:35,960 No. 524 00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:40,960 You know something? You're a very beautiful girl, but you're very stubborn, too. 525 00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:48,960 Oh. Yeah? 526 00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:56,960 Quincy, this is Sam. You'd better come right away. It's very important. 527 00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:57,960 What do you got, Sam? 528 00:42:57,960 --> 00:42:59,960 It's a match on the congressman's ring, Quincy. 529 00:42:59,960 --> 00:43:05,960 The ridges on the design face fit the shape of the contusion perfectly. The congressman had to be the one to hit her. 530 00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:06,960 Any epidermal tracings? 531 00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:12,960 Nothing. No skin oils, no residues. It's got to be the cleanest ring in North America. 532 00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:14,960 Sure. He cleaned it before he gave it to you. 533 00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:24,960 Quincy, you're going to tell Lieutenant Monahan, aren't you? The ring, Quincy, it's handmade. The only one like it in the world. It's kind of evidence. Cops love. 534 00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:34,960 Damn, and all he proves he bopped her doesn't prove he killed her, doesn't even place him at the scene. Look, I know he lied to us, but I just can't believe he killed Roberta Rhodes, that's all. 535 00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:36,960 Quincy? 536 00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:41,960 I'll tell them, Sam. I will tell them. First thing in the morning. 537 00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:46,960 Good morning. 538 00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:02,960 Oh, no, wait a minute. Where'd you park that hearse? 539 00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:03,960 How many times I have to tell you it's not a hearse? 540 00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:05,960 Did you park that in front of this place again? 541 00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:08,960 Don't ask. It's only weird down here. Here, the keys park it wherever you want. 542 00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,960 Tell the place I tend to buy washed dishes. 543 00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:13,960 Hey, Doc, remember me? 544 00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:17,960 Oh, you're a hard man to forget. Kiefer and you're an insurer. 545 00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:19,960 I'm flattered. I'm flattered. How are you, Doctor? 546 00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:21,960 This is Daniel DeSoto, Dr. Quincy. 547 00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:22,960 How do you do? 548 00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:26,960 It's a pleasure, Doc. Why don't you join us? 549 00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:28,960 No, whenever I duck it here for a drink, I never talk business. 550 00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:32,960 It'll just take a second. It's kind of important. You know, I've been doing some research on you. 551 00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:33,960 On me? 552 00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:38,960 You know something? You are almost broke. 553 00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:39,960 Always. 554 00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:42,960 What else did you find out about me? 555 00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:49,960 Well, you're a contradiction. One minute you're banging on the gates of hell, the next you're bucking for sainthood. 556 00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:50,960 You know what they say about Variety? 557 00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:55,960 Yes, sir. It's a great aphrodisiac. 558 00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:58,960 You know something else I found out about you, too? 559 00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:03,960 You're very active in trying to keep alive a camp for 280 kids up in Monterey. 560 00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:05,960 Here's your drink, Scotch and water. 561 00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:08,960 Wow. You really are thorough, aren't you? 562 00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:12,960 But the camp is going to go under. It won't last out the summer. 563 00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:19,960 I was talking with one of my vice presidents. The guy is crazy about kids, absolutely crazy about kids. 564 00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:26,960 He said he'd like to contribute about $250,000. Keep that camp going for a lot of years. 565 00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:28,960 In exchange for? 566 00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:33,960 The truth. A suicide verdict in the Roberta Rhodes death. 567 00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:34,960 You're trying to bribe me. 568 00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:37,960 That's right. But if you tell anybody, I'll deny it. 569 00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:45,960 Yeah, but I got a witness. 570 00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:47,960 Well, what do you say? 571 00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:50,960 Absolutely no. 572 00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:53,960 Absolutely. 573 00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:58,960 You know, you are a child. You're a six-year-old kid who lives in a never-never land. 574 00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:01,960 Don't you ever look out to one of those covers and see what's happening in the real world? 575 00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:05,960 Man, I'm talking about $2 million. $2 million! 576 00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:09,960 Do you know that I could have somebody killed for $2,000? 577 00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:15,960 I could have a contract out on somebody for $2,000 and have a hundred guys standing in line waiting to take the job. 578 00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:17,960 Mr. Keefer, that doesn't make you right in me room. 579 00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:21,960 Right a room? Do you think Riordan was interested in what's right or wrong? 580 00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:24,960 Do you think Roberta Rhodes' mother is interested in what's right or wrong? 581 00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:29,960 No, she would lie, steal, cheat, suppress any evidence she can to get her hands on that money. 582 00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:31,960 But she's predictable. We can handle her. 583 00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:35,960 But you, you idealists, you're gonna bankrupt us. 584 00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:51,960 Why don't you try taking for a change? Maybe you'll like it. 585 00:46:51,960 --> 00:47:00,960 Mr. Keefer? 586 00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:02,960 Didn't he forget something? 587 00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:04,960 No. 588 00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:08,960 I'm afraid he did. I'm afraid. 589 00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:10,960 Are you sure? 590 00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:14,960 Yes, I am sure. Excuse me. 591 00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:19,960 Very nice meeting you. Really, what? Oh, hi, Lee. Lee, I like your meet. I'm sorry, what's your name again? 592 00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:20,960 Danielle. 593 00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:24,960 Oh, DeSoto. Yes, like the card we remember. Very nice meeting you. This is Li... You're not gonna believe this. 594 00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:25,960 An insurance guy comes and... 595 00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:29,960 There are no strings on either of us, Quince. Your life is your own. 596 00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:32,960 Only please, not while I'm varnishing your lousy boat. 597 00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:37,960 Listen, I hate to interrupt your true love, Bresbrook. I want you to listen to this. 598 00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:41,960 Honey, I'm explaining to the lady that... 599 00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:44,960 Now, what is this dramatic breakthrough? 600 00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:51,960 We have incontrovertible evidence that Roberta Rhodes was savagely beaten moments before her death. 601 00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:59,960 Microscopic analysis of a ring belonging to a major political figure was performed by the city coroner. 602 00:47:59,960 --> 00:48:11,960 This analysis proves that it was this political figure wearing this ring who mercilessly beat and subsequently murdered Roberta Rhodes by forced barbiturate poison. 603 00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:13,960 To whom did this ring belong? 604 00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:15,960 Congressman Charles Sinclair. 605 00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:16,960 What's this all about? 606 00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:18,960 Quincey! 607 00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:30,960 Adam, Sam, I want everybody in here. Every doctor, every janitor, every secretary, every technician. I don't want them here on the double! 608 00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:44,960 Bad news travels faster than I do. 609 00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:49,960 How could you do it, Quincey? A piece of evidence like that ring, how could you hold that back from me? 610 00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:57,960 Look, I only got the report two hours ago. You were home then, not at the station. Besides, I knew there was an explanation for this. I thought I might find out what it was. 611 00:48:57,960 --> 00:48:59,960 By morning, no doubt. 612 00:48:59,960 --> 00:49:08,960 You are not a district attorney. You are not a detective. You are a scientist. Your job is to interpret evidence, not conceal it. 613 00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:10,960 But Charlie Sinclair is a friend of mine! 614 00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:15,960 Look, your friend lied to you on two separate occasions. What makes you think he's not going to try for three? 615 00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:18,960 He may have changed, but he's not a murderer. 616 00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:23,960 Clara Rhodes saw him hit Roberta Rhodes and forced barbiturates down her throat, and I believe her. 617 00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:24,960 And I don't. 618 00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:30,960 Fellas, you'll both have your day in court. The inquest goes tomorrow morning. 619 00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:31,960 What? 620 00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:34,960 What do you think I could hold Lefebvre off after this bombshell? 621 00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:35,960 But I need more time! 622 00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:40,960 Oh, really? A few hours ago, you seemed to think you could handle everything before morning. 623 00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:44,960 Well, that's what you have. Until tomorrow morning. 624 00:49:55,960 --> 00:50:01,960 There are some of you here whose face and name I don't know. I'm going to have to do something about that. 625 00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:03,960 Because we're a family. 626 00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:06,960 Now, nobody's going to ever accuse you of being overpaid. 627 00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:09,960 We all know there's a lot more money to be made on the outside. 628 00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:13,960 Any of you want a piece of that action? Nobody can fault you for going after it. 629 00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:25,960 But if you choose to stay here, then you must not, you cannot, violate the code of confidentiality that exists in this office. 630 00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:27,960 It's just too darned important! 631 00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:33,960 A leak from this office can let a murderer go free to murder again. 632 00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:40,960 A man is going to have to face a coroner's inquest and probably be indicted for murder. 633 00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:45,960 I happen to think he's innocent. But I needed more time to prove it. 634 00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:50,960 One of you took that time away from me and him. 635 00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:58,960 One of you disgraced this office. And whoever you are, you better get out of here. 636 00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:02,960 And you better get out of here now. 637 00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:05,960 Go back to work. 638 00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:17,960 I am Robert J. Aston, A-S-T-I-N, MD Administrative Deputy Coroner for the City of Los Angeles. 639 00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:22,960 The purpose of any inquest is to bring to light pertinent information surrounding a death. 640 00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:28,960 Now with us at the Mayor's request is a standing jury who will hear, examine the evidence, 641 00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:34,960 and recommend to the District Attorney whether or not he should proceed upon an investigation of murder. 642 00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:39,960 Now this is not a court of law, but it is a legal court of inquiry. 643 00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:44,960 Dr. Quincy is the presiding medical examiner, Lieutenant Monahan, the police homicide liaison. 644 00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:51,960 And let the record show that one of the subpoenaed witnesses, Charles Sinclair, is not in attendance. 645 00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:56,960 The bailiff will make every attempt to please find out why and notify the appropriate marshals. 646 00:51:56,960 --> 00:52:01,960 Dr. Quincy, would you state for this body the official cause of death? 647 00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:04,960 The Scrooge's death was caused by an overdose of barbiturates. 648 00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:09,960 I believe they were self-administered and with forethought. Our intent? Suicide. 649 00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:12,960 Order. Order. 650 00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:16,960 Lieutenant Monahan, is the police department in agreement with this finding? 651 00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:21,960 No, we are not. While an overdose of barbiturates is what killed Miss Rhodes, 652 00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:30,960 there is circumstantial evidence and conflicting testimony which makes it impossible for my office to dismiss the feasibility of murder. 653 00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:32,960 Order. 654 00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:38,960 Then it is the immediate task of this body to examine that evidence and testimony. 655 00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:44,960 No empty barbiturate container was found anywhere about the bedroom or the premises. 656 00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:49,960 Now there was a dressing room mirror that was shattered, we believe, by a thrown telephone. 657 00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:54,960 And the telephone in question was wiped clean of fingerprints by a party or parties unknown. 658 00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:57,960 There was a fresh bruise at the corner of Miss Rhodes' eye. 659 00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:02,960 In studying the bruise, Dr. Quincy and I discovered platinum gold tracings. 660 00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:10,960 This, with a pattern of the contusion, suggested that she'd been hit by a piece of jewelry. Probably a ring. 661 00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:16,960 Then you compared the contusion with a ring worn by Congressman Charles Sinclair and discovered what? 662 00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:21,960 It was a perfect match. 663 00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:28,960 Mrs. Rhodes, in your statement you alleged that Charles Sinclair was beating your daughter when you entered. 664 00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:33,960 You attempted saving her and you yourself were beaten unconscious. 665 00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:38,960 Yes. He struck me with his fist. 666 00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:40,960 Right. 667 00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:43,960 And you were the one who was beaten unconscious. 668 00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:51,960 You were beaten unconscious. Yes. He struck me with his fist. 669 00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:53,960 Right there. 670 00:53:56,960 --> 00:53:58,960 If there are no further questions, Lieutenant. 671 00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:00,960 I have none. And you, Dr. Quincy. 672 00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:03,960 Oh yes, yes. 673 00:54:03,960 --> 00:54:10,960 Yes. Mrs. Rhodes, I understand that your daughter's life was recently insured for a million dollars. 674 00:54:10,960 --> 00:54:19,960 Yes. Roberta knew that if anything happened to her that I'd be left with nothing. It was at her urging, actually. 675 00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:22,960 The policy is what, about six months old? 676 00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:26,960 So the decision this panel makes is rather important to you, isn't it? 677 00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:32,960 Suicide releases the insurance company from paying the death benefit and murder means double indemnity. 678 00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:35,960 That's a two million dollar double indemnity. 679 00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:41,960 Yes, that's all the more reason why Roberta would never take her own life. 680 00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:44,960 She loved me. 681 00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:51,960 Why should she take out such a policy if she were the kind of girl who was going to kill herself? 682 00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:56,960 Leave me all alone with nothing. 683 00:54:59,960 --> 00:55:03,960 We had a reporter watching her house day and night. 684 00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:06,960 He saw Sinclair arrive and go inside. 685 00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:09,960 Was this alleged reporter on the property? 686 00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:12,960 No, he was outside the fence on public property. 687 00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:17,960 However, Mrs. Rhodes' bedroom opens into a corridor which can be observed through glass doors. 688 00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:20,960 He used a telephoto lens. 689 00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:21,960 Do you have the pictures? 690 00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:27,960 Unfortunately, no. Well, he's new. He used the raw exposure. 691 00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:32,960 Let the record show that our lab technicians were unable to see Mrs. Rhodes' bedroom from outside the fence. 692 00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:35,960 Even while using a telephoto lens. 693 00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:40,960 Order, order. 694 00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:43,960 Let the record also show that this is hearsay. 695 00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:46,960 For all we know, complete fabrication. 696 00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:50,960 If there really is a reporter who saw the murder, why isn't he here now? 697 00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:52,960 He is. 698 00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:57,960 I was there. 699 00:55:57,960 --> 00:56:02,960 I saw Congressman Sinclair go into the house. 700 00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:06,960 I only saw half the room, but it was the busy half. 701 00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:10,960 I have never been so frightened in my entire life. 702 00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:16,960 I heard screaming and crying, and then it was quiet. 703 00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:21,960 It was a long time before the congressman left. 704 00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:26,960 Dr. Aston? 705 00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:28,960 Hello. 706 00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:31,960 Why didn't you take this information to the police? 707 00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:33,960 I was afraid. 708 00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:37,960 Oh, afraid.
