Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:02,136 --> 00:00:05,284
You expect me to go in there
and seduce Dennis Stanton?
2
00:00:05,503 --> 00:00:07,459
I expect Lindsey to go
and seduce him.
3
00:00:07,670 --> 00:00:11,060
- Something to do with adultery?
- Beg you pardon?
4
00:00:13,488 --> 00:00:15,604
Fire!
Somebody get a fire extinguisher.
5
00:00:15,694 --> 00:00:17,810
I'm sure you have an alibi
for when the fire started.
6
00:00:18,102 --> 00:00:20,900
And which will disappoint you more?
If I do or if I don't?
7
00:00:20,990 --> 00:00:22,582
But he couldn't forge the paper.
8
00:00:22,796 --> 00:00:25,674
Miss Barlow,
are you flirting with me?
9
00:00:25,805 --> 00:00:27,204
Would you upset if I were?
10
00:00:27,290 --> 00:00:30,805
It would lead me to wonder how
soon you expect your mother home.
11
00:01:19,850 --> 00:01:22,523
Could you please
inscribe this to Nadine?
12
00:01:22,618 --> 00:01:24,813
I just love
this new character you've invented.
13
00:01:24,905 --> 00:01:26,577
- Why, thank you.
- No, really.
14
00:01:26,711 --> 00:01:31,148
Damian Sinclair is a wonderful
addition to the gentlemen thieves.
15
00:01:31,284 --> 00:01:34,879
Arsene Lupin, Raffles, The Saint...
16
00:01:35,056 --> 00:01:37,934
Praise is a giddy wine, dear heart
don't let it turn your head.
17
00:01:38,025 --> 00:01:40,380
- Dennis!
- Jessica.
18
00:01:41,556 --> 00:01:43,751
Yes, your new character
is amusing perhaps, but...
19
00:01:44,043 --> 00:01:48,719
a pale imitation of the real thing
and I, of all people, should know.
20
00:01:49,380 --> 00:01:52,975
I've booked at a fantastic
restaurant in Carmel.
21
00:01:53,071 --> 00:01:56,427
- They won't hold the table.
- I can't. I've these books to sign.
22
00:01:56,561 --> 00:02:01,077
Not anymore you don't. It's past 6,
manager's at the door, key in hand.
23
00:02:01,296 --> 00:02:03,571
Time to get on
with civilized pursuits.
24
00:02:04,827 --> 00:02:06,897
Thank you, Nadine.
I hope you enjoy the book.
25
00:02:06,993 --> 00:02:11,305
- Thank you. Pleasure.
- Nice to meet you to be sure.
26
00:02:12,089 --> 00:02:15,001
Well, book tours agree with you.
You're as lovely as ever.
27
00:02:15,298 --> 00:02:17,503
When you flirt, it usually means...
28
00:02:17,545 --> 00:02:20,343
that you have
an outrageous story to tell me.
29
00:02:20,595 --> 00:02:24,713
And what makes this one interesting
is that you could never transmute...
30
00:02:24,848 --> 00:02:29,797
the hero of it, me, into that
grotesque alter ego, Damian Sinclair.
31
00:02:30,545 --> 00:02:33,662
- Why not?
- I let the miscreants get away.
32
00:02:33,755 --> 00:02:36,792
Your Damian Sinclair could
never do anything so unheroic.
33
00:02:36,884 --> 00:02:38,522
It did my larcenous heart good.
34
00:02:38,650 --> 00:02:40,641
You mean, your "formerly"
larcenous heart.
35
00:02:40,736 --> 00:02:42,966
- I hope you meant.
- Here we are!
36
00:02:43,063 --> 00:02:47,693
Oh yes. The recently
discovered Mark Twain.
37
00:02:47,797 --> 00:02:50,357
- But I've heard...
- It's been denounced as a forgery?
38
00:02:50,445 --> 00:02:53,994
- It was I who denounced it.
- Oh, now I remember...
39
00:02:54,137 --> 00:02:57,971
An insurance policy was involved and
the original manuscript was destroyed.
40
00:02:58,069 --> 00:02:59,980
Whose story is this anyway?
41
00:03:00,075 --> 00:03:03,192
Come on, I'll tell you all
about it over a Caesar salad.
42
00:03:08,821 --> 00:03:11,972
as a kind of white-haired patriarch.
43
00:03:12,152 --> 00:03:16,543
But it's important to remember as well
in his youth he was a real ladies' man...
44
00:03:16,806 --> 00:03:20,003
and he wrote the
"Wild and Wicked Wench"...
45
00:03:20,818 --> 00:03:24,857
had it bound as a kind of a private
amusement for his mistress.
46
00:03:25,272 --> 00:03:28,628
She passed the book down to
Mrs. Barlow's grandmother,...
47
00:03:28,762 --> 00:03:32,198
who some people think was
Twain's illegitimate daughter.
48
00:03:32,534 --> 00:03:35,890
And from there it's come down
to us and the present day.
49
00:03:36,907 --> 00:03:40,138
I finally persuaded Mrs. Barlow
to reveal its existence.
50
00:03:40,357 --> 00:03:41,836
Why now Mr. Ehrlich?
51
00:03:41,962 --> 00:03:43,793
San Francisco next week plays...
52
00:03:43,888 --> 00:03:49,201
host to the largest collection of
Twain experts and enthusiasts.
53
00:03:49,626 --> 00:03:54,620
Finally, Mrs. Barlow has suffered
some unfortunate financial reverses...
54
00:03:54,842 --> 00:03:59,393
and I've offered to help her
realize what's due her...
55
00:03:59,576 --> 00:04:02,374
as custodian of this important
national literary treasure.
56
00:04:02,505 --> 00:04:06,134
Has anybody checked out this book
to make sure it's not a forgery?
57
00:04:06,397 --> 00:04:08,467
No offense but...
58
00:04:08,764 --> 00:04:12,154
obviously literature and rare books
are not your beat.
59
00:04:12,295 --> 00:04:15,492
Otherwise, I'm sure you'd recognize
Prof. Chandler Fitzpatrick.
60
00:04:16,146 --> 00:04:20,617
He's the country's leading expert
on 19th and 20th century literature.
61
00:04:20,961 --> 00:04:24,556
I'm sure he would be able to
answer any questions that...
62
00:04:24,652 --> 00:04:28,531
you'll have about the books
authenticity or providence.
63
00:04:28,745 --> 00:04:30,383
- Professor.
- Please.
64
00:04:33,238 --> 00:04:37,470
The Pachelbel "Canon". In appreciation
for your help with Eastman case.
65
00:04:37,692 --> 00:04:41,480
Thank you. But how are we going
to hear it without your CD player?
66
00:04:42,146 --> 00:04:45,456
- What's happened to my CD player?
- "Verboten".
67
00:04:45,797 --> 00:04:50,075
"Der Führer", Herr Butler,
likes to make his own noise.
68
00:04:50,331 --> 00:04:52,799
He's screaming for you all morning.
69
00:04:53,059 --> 00:04:54,890
What is he up to now?
70
00:04:55,225 --> 00:04:57,136
They're authenticating some old book.
71
00:04:57,312 --> 00:05:00,622
Somebody wants to insure it
for 5 million dollars.
72
00:05:00,722 --> 00:05:01,950
5 million?
73
00:05:04,775 --> 00:05:06,333
Good morning, Robert.
74
00:05:06,981 --> 00:05:10,576
It would be if you weren't over
1 and a half hours late.
75
00:05:10,713 --> 00:05:13,147
It was such a pleasant day
I strolled, I window shopped.
76
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,629
I got some wonderful music.
77
00:05:16,370 --> 00:05:20,568
Mozart "Flute sonatas" for me
and Spike Jones for you.
78
00:05:21,586 --> 00:05:24,578
But somehow I seem to have
mislaid my sound system.
79
00:05:24,996 --> 00:05:29,831
You will find it down at the reception
desk wrapped and ready to go home.
80
00:05:29,971 --> 00:05:33,247
We are running an office here,
not philharmonic hall.
81
00:05:33,382 --> 00:05:38,376
I want to have a conversation with
you about that damaged Limoge.
82
00:05:38,517 --> 00:05:40,792
I wrapped up that matter
at 2:30 this morning.
83
00:05:40,925 --> 00:05:44,076
This wouldn't be the new Mark Twain
book I've heard so much about?
84
00:05:44,215 --> 00:05:45,409
Magnificent, isn't it?
85
00:05:45,539 --> 00:05:48,212
In moments like this
I sense the presence of genius.
86
00:05:48,307 --> 00:05:52,300
Yes, I feel the same way often
in Robert's company.
87
00:05:53,162 --> 00:05:54,720
He means the book.
88
00:05:55,328 --> 00:05:59,287
Insurance applied for by
one Lawrence Ehrlich?
89
00:05:59,461 --> 00:06:04,455
The agent for the owner. If you
don't mind, I have to get this done.
90
00:06:04,998 --> 00:06:08,354
If you have nothing better to do
you can catch up on those reports...
91
00:06:08,489 --> 00:06:10,923
- that you've promised me all week.
- Certainly.
92
00:06:12,220 --> 00:06:14,529
If I may offer one small
word of advice,...
93
00:06:14,828 --> 00:06:18,184
examine that manuscript
with special diligence.
94
00:06:21,328 --> 00:06:24,126
Why?
Do you know something I don't know?
95
00:06:25,179 --> 00:06:30,128
All I'm saying is 5 million
is a great deal of money for a book.
96
00:06:30,395 --> 00:06:33,865
That is what one Japanese
collector has already offered.
97
00:06:34,046 --> 00:06:39,643
Besides, I've already had it
authenticated by Prof. Fitzpatrick.
98
00:06:40,305 --> 00:06:44,583
You didn't tell me Fitzpatrick
had already certified this.
99
00:07:11,039 --> 00:07:14,918
Robert, I know you've explained
the forms to be dozens of time,...
100
00:07:15,051 --> 00:07:18,088
but this one subsection B 72...
101
00:07:18,261 --> 00:07:21,776
is that the estimated value of
the claim or the adjusted value?
102
00:07:21,912 --> 00:07:26,144
No! You do not use a 72 form.
You need 50...
103
00:07:26,366 --> 00:07:29,597
Fire! Fire!
104
00:07:33,507 --> 00:07:37,978
Fire! Listen up quick.
Somebody get a fire extinguisher.
105
00:07:38,402 --> 00:07:39,801
Shut that alarm off!
106
00:07:41,532 --> 00:07:44,330
Someone get a
fire extinguisher.
107
00:08:08,534 --> 00:08:11,412
Let's have the book
facing this direction.
108
00:08:11,543 --> 00:08:15,297
Check the seal on this.
Have it back in 45 minutes.
109
00:08:15,596 --> 00:08:17,234
I'll be right with you.
110
00:08:19,407 --> 00:08:20,396
My God...
111
00:08:22,376 --> 00:08:24,685
Dennis Stanton,
it must be what, 20 years?
112
00:08:24,784 --> 00:08:27,821
Nearly 25 actually. How are you?
113
00:08:27,953 --> 00:08:32,469
Couldn't be better. Are you
still up to your old tricks?
114
00:08:32,647 --> 00:08:34,638
More to the point,
are you?.
115
00:08:35,416 --> 00:08:38,453
I work for Consolidated Casualty
Insurance Company.
116
00:08:38,626 --> 00:08:43,222
I suppose it was to much to hope
you were merely a Mark Twain fan.
117
00:08:44,564 --> 00:08:46,122
You're not here for
a shakedown are you?
118
00:08:46,249 --> 00:08:49,207
- That was never your style.
- What could I tell anyone?
119
00:08:49,378 --> 00:08:52,051
That you were absolutely
the best forger I'd ever met...
120
00:08:52,307 --> 00:08:54,423
and second only to me as a conman?
121
00:08:55,236 --> 00:08:59,070
No, I was better.
But all that's in the past.
122
00:09:00,412 --> 00:09:03,404
- I've been legitimate for a decade.
- Have you?
123
00:09:05,187 --> 00:09:07,337
I know. It's incredible,
but it's true.
124
00:09:07,433 --> 00:09:11,870
All those years practicing my craft
gave me entrée to the best houses...
125
00:09:12,007 --> 00:09:16,364
of experts. I finally realized
I knew as much as they did, more.
126
00:09:16,782 --> 00:09:19,933
It dawned on me that I could make
just as much money...
127
00:09:20,353 --> 00:09:23,584
with much less risk,
by simply jumping the fence.
128
00:09:24,204 --> 00:09:28,436
I'm having almost as much fun now
as when I was a crook.
129
00:09:29,621 --> 00:09:31,930
You don't believe a word
I'm saying, do you?
130
00:09:32,109 --> 00:09:34,623
As you said, you're almost
as good a conman as I am.
131
00:09:34,797 --> 00:09:37,152
No, I said better.
132
00:09:38,568 --> 00:09:41,605
You have to know, I will not
let you defraud my company.
133
00:09:41,858 --> 00:09:44,930
For the sake of our old acquaintance,
I've said nothing about your past.
134
00:09:45,108 --> 00:09:48,544
What past?
I was never indicted, never arrested.
135
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,629
You know, I've worked very hard
to get to where I am.
136
00:09:52,731 --> 00:09:57,725
If I heard the slightest public inference
that I was less than honest,...
137
00:09:59,191 --> 00:10:01,227
I'd sure you for
every penny you've got.
138
00:10:01,518 --> 00:10:04,396
Then I take it you won't withdraw
the manuscript from Consolidated?
139
00:10:04,487 --> 00:10:07,479
Take that manuscript to any expert
in the country, the best.
140
00:10:07,577 --> 00:10:12,776
I know, because I have, they'll say
the same, it's the genuine article.
141
00:10:13,154 --> 00:10:15,873
It's enough to make a man
believe in providence.
142
00:10:16,123 --> 00:10:18,034
I've got to get back to the display.
143
00:10:18,169 --> 00:10:21,639
Mr. Butler promised to have the
manuscript back to me in an hour.
144
00:10:23,906 --> 00:10:28,661
You of all people should believe
someone can turn over a new leaf.
145
00:10:28,801 --> 00:10:31,759
I mean, look at you.
146
00:10:35,140 --> 00:10:38,371
Yes I'll be there in half an hour.
I really appreciate the time.
147
00:10:38,912 --> 00:10:40,140
Mr. Stanton?
148
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,910
- Prof. Fitzpatrick, it's an honor.
- Lawrence Ehrlich tells me...
149
00:10:45,051 --> 00:10:48,726
you doubt of the authenticity of
"The wild and wicked wench".
150
00:10:48,862 --> 00:10:51,820
I've staked my
reputation on this book.
151
00:10:52,152 --> 00:10:55,622
What qualifications could you
have to question my judgment?
152
00:10:55,844 --> 00:10:58,916
Please understand my position
as a representative of the company...
153
00:10:59,013 --> 00:11:01,288
Don't take refuge in
petty bureaucracy.
154
00:11:01,541 --> 00:11:05,773
You'll either furnish some
smidgen of evidence...
155
00:11:06,155 --> 00:11:10,387
or else you will cease you're
smarmy insinuations at once.
156
00:11:11,050 --> 00:11:12,608
Do I make myself clear?
157
00:11:20,358 --> 00:11:22,474
And you obtained this specimen?
158
00:11:22,565 --> 00:11:27,764
Some fool lit a fire in his waste
basket, I snatch this page to safety.
159
00:11:28,463 --> 00:11:32,536
As the book will be displayed under
glass, it won't be noticed for days.
160
00:11:32,916 --> 00:11:36,670
Dennis, I owe you a great deal,...
161
00:11:37,892 --> 00:11:40,565
but I'm an old man discredited
in the profession.
162
00:11:40,700 --> 00:11:44,170
- Through no fault of your own.
- True it was an honest mistake.
163
00:11:44,431 --> 00:11:50,222
But one does not challenge Fitzpatrick
without being sure there's no mistake.
164
00:11:51,332 --> 00:11:52,651
He ruined me.
165
00:11:53,018 --> 00:11:57,375
But I've come to be content
here in my library.
166
00:11:58,514 --> 00:11:59,629
I'm sorry.
167
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:04,399
I'm a man whose judgment
can no longer be trusted.
168
00:12:04,693 --> 00:12:08,129
Constantine, old friend,
it can by me.
169
00:12:09,869 --> 00:12:11,939
What if I were to tell you...
170
00:12:13,039 --> 00:12:17,317
that Fitzpatrick provided the
authentification for this book?
171
00:12:26,078 --> 00:12:29,832
And it was discovered by a man
known to be a forger?
172
00:12:30,010 --> 00:12:34,083
- The best I've ever met.
- Well, well, well...
173
00:12:36,590 --> 00:12:39,229
What an appetizing prospect.
174
00:12:58,938 --> 00:13:01,168
Is he going to give us any trouble?
175
00:13:01,546 --> 00:13:04,618
I don't think so.
Let me do a little checking.
176
00:13:05,318 --> 00:13:07,752
- I'll see you at the costume ball.
- Lawrence...
177
00:13:15,790 --> 00:13:19,829
- Mother!
- Lindsey, what are you doing here?
178
00:13:19,922 --> 00:13:23,312
You're not here with that
ancient rock and roll singer.
179
00:13:23,453 --> 00:13:28,481
No, Roger is still in England.
At his age they're called legends.
180
00:13:29,592 --> 00:13:32,504
Don't say I told you so,
but he threw me out.
181
00:13:32,641 --> 00:13:35,872
- I'm sorry. Are you ok?
- Yes. I'm fine.
182
00:13:36,372 --> 00:13:39,967
I discovered with legends there are
always plenty of young women around.
183
00:13:40,585 --> 00:13:42,337
Come on, let me buy you
a cup of coffee.
184
00:13:42,551 --> 00:13:46,510
Wait, before we go I'd love to
take a look at this wonder book...
185
00:13:46,644 --> 00:13:47,997
I've been reading about
before you auction it off.
186
00:13:48,529 --> 00:13:52,602
Is that why you've come back.
You think I'm coming into money.
187
00:13:53,063 --> 00:13:56,658
How can you be so suspicious?
Especially since I can't understand...
188
00:13:56,795 --> 00:14:01,789
why this precious family heirloom
passed from mother to daughter...
189
00:14:02,452 --> 00:14:03,965
I've never heard of it before.
190
00:14:04,097 --> 00:14:07,612
Keep that to yourself.
This isn't a game.
191
00:14:07,989 --> 00:14:10,787
I'm sure it isn't.
We better talk.
192
00:14:13,887 --> 00:14:16,879
There I was Beth, after
all these years,...
193
00:14:17,016 --> 00:14:19,576
face to face with
Lawrence Ehrlich again.
194
00:14:21,229 --> 00:14:23,140
I brought back so many memories...
195
00:14:24,118 --> 00:14:28,634
All I could think of the entire
time was how much you loved books.
196
00:14:29,133 --> 00:14:33,524
Remember how angry you got when
I dog-eared a page to mark my place?
197
00:14:33,747 --> 00:14:38,616
There I was, tearing out what
might be a priceless manuscript.
198
00:14:38,883 --> 00:14:42,000
Well, if I'm right
it won't make any difference.
199
00:14:43,858 --> 00:14:48,852
And if I'm wrong, I may be a bit
rusty back to the old profession.
200
00:14:49,635 --> 00:14:53,344
I'm sure there are plenty of jobs
for a man of my qualifications.
201
00:14:55,172 --> 00:14:57,242
Though at the moment
I can't think of any.
202
00:14:59,104 --> 00:15:02,301
The mayor insists
the investigation will continue.
203
00:15:03,317 --> 00:15:04,955
Earlier tonight a blaze...
204
00:15:05,042 --> 00:15:07,112
swept through the convention room
of the Fairmont hotel.
205
00:15:07,410 --> 00:15:10,004
Damage to the hotel was minimal,...
206
00:15:10,258 --> 00:15:12,453
but the newly discovered
manuscript of Mark Twain's...
207
00:15:12,545 --> 00:15:14,581
long lost book,
"The Wild and Wicked Wench",...
208
00:15:14,672 --> 00:15:16,344
was completely destroyed.
209
00:15:18,323 --> 00:15:19,358
Lawrence,...
210
00:15:21,091 --> 00:15:23,559
you can't really expect
to get away with this.
211
00:15:25,424 --> 00:15:26,573
Can you?
212
00:15:30,921 --> 00:15:34,277
Detective Oliver? Dennis Stanton,
Consolidated Casualties.
213
00:15:34,572 --> 00:15:36,563
You're in charge of
the investigation?
214
00:15:36,739 --> 00:15:39,936
- You carry the hotel's policy?
- Only some of the contents.
215
00:15:40,711 --> 00:15:43,509
I understand the fire was
electrical in origin.
216
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:44,834
Sure what it looks like.
217
00:15:45,245 --> 00:15:48,317
One question I have,
is why it spread so fast.
218
00:15:48,615 --> 00:15:50,492
You mean it may have been arson?
219
00:15:50,782 --> 00:15:53,421
I sure hope so. I haven't
had a decent arson in months.
220
00:15:53,630 --> 00:15:55,825
Nice to meet a man
who enjoys his work.
221
00:15:57,763 --> 00:16:00,596
- May I look?
- Go ahead. Be my guest.
222
00:16:15,858 --> 00:16:19,487
That's a damn shame.
That was a beautiful manuscript.
223
00:16:20,592 --> 00:16:24,904
- I'm very disappointed in you.
- Dennis, you don't think...
224
00:16:26,450 --> 00:16:31,399
I'd pull something like this on you?
How stupid do you think I am?
225
00:16:31,626 --> 00:16:34,015
I'm sure you have an alibi
for when the fire started.
226
00:16:34,475 --> 00:16:37,751
Which will disappoint more?,
If I do, or if I don't?
227
00:16:38,567 --> 00:16:40,239
I was the costume ball,...
228
00:16:40,332 --> 00:16:43,130
wearing little more than
an oversized fig leaf...
229
00:16:43,261 --> 00:16:47,891
in the whole view of the assemblage.
As Adam.
230
00:16:48,838 --> 00:16:49,873
Adam?
231
00:16:50,363 --> 00:16:53,321
If you don't believe me, I'll be
glad to show you the outfit.
232
00:16:54,094 --> 00:16:55,812
Not before breakfast, thank you.
233
00:16:57,906 --> 00:16:59,021
I'm going to get you.
234
00:17:01,397 --> 00:17:03,547
Yes, I'm sure you'll try.
235
00:17:11,467 --> 00:17:13,935
- Robert not in yet?
- Are you kidding?
236
00:17:14,075 --> 00:17:18,148
He's upstairs, they've had him
on the carpet since 8 this morning.
237
00:17:19,050 --> 00:17:23,805
You insure something for 5 million
and 6 hours later it's up in flames.
238
00:17:24,106 --> 00:17:25,903
Someone's liable to notice.
239
00:17:42,161 --> 00:17:43,196
Robert.
240
00:17:45,691 --> 00:17:46,840
Are you alright?
241
00:17:48,620 --> 00:17:50,212
I should have listened to you.
242
00:17:51,630 --> 00:17:54,702
I never should have touched
that damned manuscript.
243
00:17:55,722 --> 00:17:58,998
Keating is holding me
personally responsible.
244
00:17:59,494 --> 00:18:01,405
When an ungenerous attitude.
245
00:18:02,382 --> 00:18:05,180
I'm not saying it's possible, but...
246
00:18:05,833 --> 00:18:09,792
if someone could prove
the manuscript were a forgery...
247
00:18:10,487 --> 00:18:14,844
getting you and the company off
the hook, what might they get expect?
248
00:18:16,907 --> 00:18:18,101
A bonus?
249
00:18:19,835 --> 00:18:22,554
That's what you're looking for,
some kind of reward?
250
00:18:22,764 --> 00:18:26,837
In a manner of speaking, not money.
Nothing so mundane.
251
00:18:27,138 --> 00:18:32,337
But to be honest, I do miss
the strains of Mozart in these halls.
252
00:18:33,758 --> 00:18:34,873
Don't you?
253
00:18:45,554 --> 00:18:47,670
Constantine, old friend,...
254
00:18:47,961 --> 00:18:51,636
it is frustrating
watching you do nothing.
255
00:18:52,696 --> 00:18:54,607
I'm hardly doing nothing.
256
00:18:55,063 --> 00:18:57,896
I'm eating, drinking,
I'm reading...
257
00:18:59,235 --> 00:19:01,465
- and awaiting.
- Awaiting what?
258
00:19:01,803 --> 00:19:03,714
If I knew I wouldn't be waiting.
259
00:19:03,890 --> 00:19:08,168
While you do Lawrence Ehrlich gets
away with 5 million dollar fraud.
260
00:19:08,785 --> 00:19:13,097
This Mr. Ehrlich... There's
something between you in your past.
261
00:19:13,318 --> 00:19:16,754
You would talk freely about anything,
except your feelings...
262
00:19:16,929 --> 00:19:19,523
and your dear,
sadly missed Elizabeth.
263
00:19:19,818 --> 00:19:23,811
What has Mr. Ehrlich to do with
the memory of your poor dead wife?
264
00:19:26,799 --> 00:19:31,315
We went through a difficult time,
all marriages do I suppose.
265
00:19:31,454 --> 00:19:34,366
I blame myself entirely
for this one...
266
00:19:34,583 --> 00:19:37,893
And he took advantage.
It's now coming back to you.
267
00:19:38,234 --> 00:19:41,909
I don't believe anything happened
between them, and I never asked.
268
00:19:42,688 --> 00:19:46,567
But yes this may be something
more than professional zeal.
269
00:19:47,944 --> 00:19:50,412
Nonetheless I feel it.
270
00:19:52,197 --> 00:19:53,994
There's something all wrong.
271
00:19:54,965 --> 00:19:58,560
If it comforts you, for me
it also feels wrong.
272
00:19:58,897 --> 00:20:01,411
But I can't put my finger
on exactly why.
273
00:20:01,666 --> 00:20:05,579
I'm quite sure the binding dates
back to the turn of the century.
274
00:20:05,718 --> 00:20:07,390
I also tested the ink...
275
00:20:07,724 --> 00:20:11,319
it's fully consistent with the ink
used in San Francisco 100 years ago.
276
00:20:11,455 --> 00:20:15,653
You also said it was a common ink
that might be artificially aged.
277
00:20:15,869 --> 00:20:19,100
But there's more.
I've been rereading my Twain.
278
00:20:19,319 --> 00:20:23,073
The writing style is consistent
with his San Francisco period.
279
00:20:23,251 --> 00:20:26,800
To the trained eye,
the handwriting is either Twain...
280
00:20:27,063 --> 00:20:31,181
- or a superb forgery.
- Lawrence is a superb forger.
281
00:20:31,436 --> 00:20:33,392
But he couldn't forge the paper.
282
00:20:33,603 --> 00:20:36,720
The paper is as old as it
purports to be.
283
00:20:36,933 --> 00:20:40,369
So you're saying what?
The manuscript is the genuine article?
284
00:20:40,544 --> 00:20:41,943
I'm saying no such thing.
285
00:20:42,630 --> 00:20:46,464
A warning bell is rung in my mind,
faint bell, but a bell.
286
00:20:46,803 --> 00:20:50,591
Until I can deduce what that
bell means, I can't help you.
287
00:21:01,769 --> 00:21:03,646
- Hi.
- Miss Barlow?
288
00:21:03,775 --> 00:21:05,413
You must be Mr. Stanton.
289
00:21:05,741 --> 00:21:09,575
I'm afraid my mother's not home yet,
but maybe you'd like to come in.
290
00:21:10,355 --> 00:21:11,390
Thank you.
291
00:21:13,564 --> 00:21:17,000
- Very nice.
- Mr. Ehrlich found it for us.
292
00:21:18,098 --> 00:21:22,455
When I spoke to you on the phone,
I wasn't expecting someone so...
293
00:21:22,793 --> 00:21:23,908
Venerable?
294
00:21:24,638 --> 00:21:27,596
I like that word.
May I take your coat?
295
00:21:28,570 --> 00:21:29,639
Thank you.
296
00:21:30,416 --> 00:21:34,375
Then, perhaps you'll
assist me across the room.
297
00:21:34,508 --> 00:21:36,817
Don't be touchy.
I adore older men.
298
00:21:36,916 --> 00:21:40,272
I find them fascinating,
They've had experience.
299
00:21:41,851 --> 00:21:45,127
Miss Barlow,
are you flirting with me?
300
00:21:45,261 --> 00:21:47,900
- Would it upset you if I were?
- On the contrary.
301
00:21:48,310 --> 00:21:51,302
But it would lead me to ask how soon
you expect your mother back home.
302
00:21:51,681 --> 00:21:55,594
My mother and Mr. Ehrlich are at her
publisher going over the transcript.
303
00:21:57,097 --> 00:22:01,534
- The manuscript was transcribed.
- Yes. Mr. Ehrlich insisted on it.
304
00:22:01,831 --> 00:22:04,948
He'd like to foster a bidding
war for the publishing rights.
305
00:22:05,483 --> 00:22:07,235
Mr. Ehrlich thinks of everything.
306
00:22:08,612 --> 00:22:11,729
Can I offer you something?
Coffee perhaps? Drink?
307
00:22:13,026 --> 00:22:15,142
Or maybe you'd like to have
dinner with me tonight?
308
00:22:17,158 --> 00:22:19,149
You're a beautiful young lady,...
309
00:22:19,405 --> 00:22:23,239
but I don't know why I'm put
in mind of a runaway train.
310
00:22:27,991 --> 00:22:29,026
Mother!
311
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:32,359
We were just talking about you.
312
00:22:32,485 --> 00:22:34,760
Mr. Stanton, from
the insurance company.
313
00:22:34,892 --> 00:22:39,568
Mrs. Barlow.
A pleasure to meet you.
314
00:22:39,827 --> 00:22:43,661
I doubt that.
Lawrence has told me about you.
315
00:22:44,602 --> 00:22:48,277
I see where your daughter gets her
forthrightness and beauty.
316
00:22:48,453 --> 00:22:53,049
- If you'll make trouble about the...
- Quite the contrary.
317
00:22:53,589 --> 00:22:56,103
My company is completely
prepared to pay.
318
00:22:56,237 --> 00:22:59,513
Unfortunately there
is one small technicality.
319
00:22:59,848 --> 00:23:02,442
Insurance companies are forbidden
from dispersing benefits...
320
00:23:02,536 --> 00:23:06,370
in the cases of possible arson
until the police are reasonably...
321
00:23:06,468 --> 00:23:10,256
- sure the crime...
- I'm sure he means the alleged crime.
322
00:23:11,323 --> 00:23:15,874
Exactly. The alleged crime was not
committed for the purposes of fraud.
323
00:23:16,619 --> 00:23:20,976
So far there is not a shred of
evidence connecting you to the fire.
324
00:23:22,798 --> 00:23:23,947
That's reassuring.
325
00:23:24,122 --> 00:23:27,239
With luck, you'll receive your
check by the end of the week.
326
00:23:27,532 --> 00:23:29,443
I hope that
won't inconvenience you.
327
00:23:29,940 --> 00:23:32,738
- Not at all.
- I'll leave you these forms...
328
00:23:32,829 --> 00:23:36,060
instructing us how and where
you prefer payment to be made.
329
00:23:36,399 --> 00:23:40,108
Thank you.
I don't with to appear rude...
330
00:23:40,291 --> 00:23:43,089
I understand.
I can show myself out.
331
00:23:45,868 --> 00:23:49,019
Again, a pleasure to meet you.
332
00:23:53,130 --> 00:23:55,849
How about Otto's Grotto, 8:30?
333
00:23:56,460 --> 00:23:59,179
Seafood. My favorite.
I'd be delighted.
334
00:23:59,550 --> 00:24:00,665
Good. I'll meet you there.
335
00:24:00,994 --> 00:24:03,554
And since you haven't come through
with the check yet, you pay.
336
00:24:03,803 --> 00:24:07,159
I wouldn't have it any other way.
Care to join us, Mrs. Barlow?
337
00:24:07,574 --> 00:24:11,044
No.
I have other plans this evening.
338
00:24:12,349 --> 00:24:13,338
Until this evening.
339
00:24:27,796 --> 00:24:28,865
Business.
340
00:24:52,150 --> 00:24:53,868
I'm sorry,
I'm not in right now.
341
00:24:54,076 --> 00:24:56,510
Leave a message and I'll
return the call when I get in.
342
00:24:57,847 --> 00:25:02,363
Dennis, the bell finally rang,
I'm filled with joy.
343
00:25:02,542 --> 00:25:03,770
I found it!
344
00:25:04,106 --> 00:25:07,462
Forget the time, come over here
the minute you get home.
345
00:25:29,263 --> 00:25:31,219
Would you like another glass
of wine Mr. Stanton?
346
00:25:31,510 --> 00:25:34,900
No thank you Jean Pierre.
Looks as though I've been stood up.
347
00:25:35,883 --> 00:25:39,432
Women, sometimes
take forever to get ready.
348
00:25:51,210 --> 00:25:54,407
Sorry we're late. It took me all
afternoon to convince her to join us.
349
00:25:54,500 --> 00:25:56,297
And it took her forever to get ready.
350
00:25:56,426 --> 00:25:57,859
I hope you don't mind.
351
00:25:57,950 --> 00:26:01,659
I realized earlier that I was
rude and wanted to apologize.
352
00:26:01,802 --> 00:26:03,121
Totally unnecessary.
353
00:26:03,206 --> 00:26:06,164
As for minding, my only
possible regret would be that...
354
00:26:06,256 --> 00:26:09,373
to gaze at one of you will
mean looking away from the other.
355
00:26:39,637 --> 00:26:44,631
Soon as I heard the victim
was some old book expert...
356
00:26:44,733 --> 00:26:47,293
I had this gut feeling
you were involved.
357
00:27:10,050 --> 00:27:12,769
When I got home I found
his message on my machine.
358
00:27:13,621 --> 00:27:14,736
I came directly here.
359
00:27:15,065 --> 00:27:19,024
- He didn't say what he wanted?
- It was a private matter.
360
00:27:19,599 --> 00:27:22,067
Murder makes it
pretty public Stanton.
361
00:27:23,009 --> 00:27:24,567
I'll make it easy for you.
362
00:27:24,695 --> 00:27:26,845
It was something
to do with adultery?
363
00:27:27,784 --> 00:27:29,502
- I beg your pardon?
- Adultery. Another man's wife.
364
00:27:29,589 --> 00:27:32,581
I figured that's what he's
trying to tell us with the book.
365
00:27:32,719 --> 00:27:36,871
The book? I haven't the foggiest idea
what you're talking about.
366
00:27:37,253 --> 00:27:39,403
He was dead when you got here?
367
00:27:39,540 --> 00:27:43,010
Yeah. We figure he was
shot here at the desk...
368
00:27:43,191 --> 00:27:47,981
then managed to crawl over here.
See the trail of blood.
369
00:27:48,487 --> 00:27:51,684
And wrestle a copy of The Scarlet
Letter out of the bottom shelf.
370
00:27:51,817 --> 00:27:54,695
- The Scarlet Letter?
- Yes. Nathaniel Hawthorne,...
371
00:27:54,786 --> 00:27:59,302
Hester, what's her name.
Adultery, all that stuff.
372
00:27:59,521 --> 00:28:03,480
The guy is dieing. He's not
going over there for reading.
373
00:28:03,653 --> 00:28:07,043
He's trying to
tell someone something.
374
00:28:07,304 --> 00:28:09,772
Since you're the one
he knows is coming...
375
00:28:10,193 --> 00:28:13,230
- May I look at the book?
- Yes, you'll need a handkerchief.
376
00:28:18,579 --> 00:28:19,773
Nothing's been removed?
377
00:28:19,903 --> 00:28:22,781
Come on! This is a crime scene.
Of course not.
378
00:28:22,992 --> 00:28:27,508
We checked the book, there's no
notes no marks inside. Nothing.
379
00:28:28,208 --> 00:28:30,278
What do you think
he's trying to tell us?
380
00:28:30,736 --> 00:28:34,046
It has to be something to do
with adultery, right?
381
00:28:34,668 --> 00:28:38,980
I give my word I have no more idea
what he was trying to say than you.
382
00:28:39,883 --> 00:28:42,522
Why didn't you tell him about the
page you took from the manuscript?
383
00:28:42,612 --> 00:28:47,561
I'd admit my folly if it would
help catch Constantine's killer.
384
00:28:47,828 --> 00:28:50,979
But so far there's nothing
to link the two.
385
00:28:53,806 --> 00:28:58,118
You asked me to find out about
old publishing paper.
386
00:28:58,300 --> 00:29:00,734
You want to hear it or do you
want to wait until morning?
387
00:29:00,908 --> 00:29:02,102
Now. Please.
388
00:29:02,873 --> 00:29:06,388
First, there's more
around than you'd think.
389
00:29:06,645 --> 00:29:08,078
Some of it turns up every year.
390
00:29:08,170 --> 00:29:10,843
In the last 10 years there
have been a dozen finds.
391
00:29:11,058 --> 00:29:13,731
The largest of which was
from an old paper factory...
392
00:29:13,827 --> 00:29:15,545
they were tearing down in London.
393
00:29:15,713 --> 00:29:18,068
Even if you find the missing page,...
394
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:22,074
I don't know how you'll prove that
that paper is this paper...
395
00:29:23,697 --> 00:29:25,494
Dennis, are you listening to me?
396
00:29:29,474 --> 00:29:32,386
I'm sorry about your friend.
397
00:29:36,055 --> 00:29:37,090
I'm sorry.
398
00:29:37,499 --> 00:29:41,014
"The Scarlet Letter",
I know thats got you bugged.
399
00:29:41,632 --> 00:29:46,501
There's a connection between
that book and the missing page.
400
00:29:46,888 --> 00:29:48,765
But what?
401
00:29:49,977 --> 00:29:52,730
Maybe Mark Twain wrote about
The Scarlet Letter...
402
00:29:52,986 --> 00:29:55,454
or about Nathaniel Hawthorne or...
403
00:29:55,875 --> 00:30:00,346
The Scarlet Letter,
The Scarlet Letter,...
404
00:30:01,131 --> 00:30:03,486
The Scarlet Let...
405
00:30:07,470 --> 00:30:10,189
The Scarlet Letter!
406
00:30:11,924 --> 00:30:17,317
Constantine, you
beautiful devious genius.
407
00:30:46,670 --> 00:30:48,308
You're looking in the wrong section.
408
00:30:52,568 --> 00:30:53,603
Am I?
409
00:30:58,064 --> 00:30:59,736
You shouldn't have killed him.
410
00:31:01,114 --> 00:31:02,149
I didn't.
411
00:31:03,882 --> 00:31:06,601
I don't suppose it matters now
but I didn't.
412
00:31:10,021 --> 00:31:14,970
I've always hated you.
You must know that.
413
00:31:16,801 --> 00:31:18,917
You and your precious Elizabeth.
414
00:31:23,381 --> 00:31:25,292
There was someone I could have loved.
415
00:31:26,230 --> 00:31:28,903
But she'd nothing to do with me.
She said she had...
416
00:31:30,162 --> 00:31:31,277
the best.
417
00:31:32,690 --> 00:31:37,206
Why should she settle
for a pale imitation.
418
00:31:41,436 --> 00:31:42,425
Look...
419
00:32:10,966 --> 00:32:12,604
I knew wed get you
sooner or later, Stanton.
420
00:32:12,691 --> 00:32:16,286
You've not only violated
your parole, but we got you for...
421
00:32:16,383 --> 00:32:19,898
breaking and entering, obstructing
justice, tampering with police seal.
422
00:32:19,994 --> 00:32:23,703
I told you Lawrence Ehrlich
had already broken the seal.
423
00:32:23,966 --> 00:32:26,878
The longer you keep me here,
the further away he gets.
424
00:32:27,256 --> 00:32:29,929
Don't make me laugh. You couldn't
bother to tell me about Ehrlich...
425
00:32:30,024 --> 00:32:33,175
and the missing page until
we caught you red handed.
426
00:32:33,274 --> 00:32:36,471
Because I didn't know then
where the page was.
427
00:32:36,765 --> 00:32:39,199
As far as I knew
he'd already retrieved it.
428
00:32:39,333 --> 00:32:41,369
- What makes you think he didn't?
- Of course he didn't.
429
00:32:41,459 --> 00:32:43,017
Otherwise why would
he have come back?
430
00:32:43,345 --> 00:32:47,861
Now like a revelation, you know
where the mythical page is?
431
00:32:48,159 --> 00:32:53,358
Exactly. I finally realized Stavros
didn't mean The Scarlet Letter,...
432
00:32:53,536 --> 00:32:57,051
he meant the scarlet letter.
May I?
433
00:32:57,989 --> 00:33:00,139
This was the case that
made Stavros' reputation.
434
00:33:00,236 --> 00:33:04,434
Some dealer in Georgia claimed to
have a letter from Margaret Mitchell...
435
00:33:04,650 --> 00:33:08,882
describing how she created
the character of Scarlet O'Hara.
436
00:33:09,103 --> 00:33:10,821
Constantine proved
it was a forgery.
437
00:33:10,949 --> 00:33:13,747
He was trying to remind me of...
438
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:16,478
was the Scarlet letter.
439
00:33:37,189 --> 00:33:40,306
Constantine Stavros
was an indifferent scholar...
440
00:33:40,599 --> 00:33:43,352
very slipshod in
his methodology.
441
00:33:44,651 --> 00:33:48,121
But he was an honest man and
I was sorry to hear of his death.
442
00:33:48,343 --> 00:33:52,859
The message on my machine said
he'd found something on the page.
443
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:57,271
You say it wasn't the paper,
wasn't the ink.
444
00:33:58,253 --> 00:34:00,130
It wasn't the handwriting
or the style.
445
00:34:01,102 --> 00:34:05,414
I invite you to look at that page.
That's all there is, nothing else.
446
00:34:10,771 --> 00:34:14,081
- Yes?
- Police, I need Mr. Stanton.
447
00:34:15,265 --> 00:34:18,416
I thought you'd like to know
we found Lawrence Ehrlich.
448
00:34:18,635 --> 00:34:22,389
- Is he here in the hotel?
- He was, but he stepped out.
449
00:34:43,631 --> 00:34:47,021
- Dennis, I'm so sorry.
- It's alright. I knew the risk.
450
00:34:47,242 --> 00:34:50,518
But it's so unfair.
The book is a forgery.
451
00:34:50,773 --> 00:34:52,968
Ehrlich's suicide
proves its a forgery.
452
00:34:53,060 --> 00:34:55,654
If it was a suicide...
He may have fallen or been pushed.
453
00:34:55,828 --> 00:34:58,979
- That's no reason to fire you.
- Of course it is.
454
00:35:00,161 --> 00:35:01,560
Until we can prove it's
a forgery,...
455
00:35:01,646 --> 00:35:04,240
"The Wild and Wicked Wench"
must be taken as genuine.
456
00:35:04,334 --> 00:35:08,043
If it ever got out that an employee
of this insurance company...
457
00:35:08,507 --> 00:35:11,977
- defaced a priceless manuscript...
- But it's not priceless.
458
00:35:12,439 --> 00:35:16,068
That dear heat is what's known
as circular logic.
459
00:35:16,411 --> 00:35:18,879
It's sweet, it's emotional,
but it wouldn't hold up...
460
00:35:19,019 --> 00:35:22,250
in an undergraduate debate society
let alone a court of law.
461
00:35:23,031 --> 00:35:27,149
- Now they'll revoke your probation.
- Until I can get another job.
462
00:35:27,966 --> 00:35:32,756
Not to worry. Life is a toy
chest of opportunities.
463
00:35:36,191 --> 00:35:39,342
Ok Sondergard,
this will be your desk.
464
00:35:39,481 --> 00:35:42,553
If you don't like the decor,
we'll have the painters in.
465
00:35:43,814 --> 00:35:44,883
Stanton,...
466
00:35:47,064 --> 00:35:51,501
- I thought you'd left.
- Without saying goodbye?
467
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:55,318
Well goodbye.
468
00:35:58,579 --> 00:36:01,651
Come on, I'll show you
the cafeteria.
469
00:36:01,789 --> 00:36:05,338
They do a superb salmon.
I highly recommend it.
470
00:36:05,801 --> 00:36:07,314
Early in the week.
471
00:36:09,693 --> 00:36:10,762
Dennis...
472
00:36:12,502 --> 00:36:14,060
Take care, Rhoda.
473
00:36:16,514 --> 00:36:19,233
This is not goodbye,
it is "au revoir".
474
00:36:20,005 --> 00:36:23,361
Soon as I'm settled elsewhere,
I'll send for you.
475
00:36:23,937 --> 00:36:24,926
I promise.
476
00:36:25,461 --> 00:36:29,215
There's one thing life's
taught me, travel light.
477
00:36:58,161 --> 00:37:00,595
Paper, ink, handwriting, style.
478
00:37:00,809 --> 00:37:03,277
Odd you never mentioned the dye.
479
00:37:03,657 --> 00:37:05,966
The dye? What do you mean?
480
00:37:06,105 --> 00:37:07,697
Along the edge.
481
00:37:08,472 --> 00:37:11,987
You can't see it on a single page,
but when they're all bound together,...
482
00:37:12,805 --> 00:37:16,241
- like this book, see.
- It's called a staining.
483
00:37:16,497 --> 00:37:20,092
Staining. I saw the manuscript
before it was burned.
484
00:37:20,228 --> 00:37:23,743
- There was staining along the edge.
- Nothing unusual about that.
485
00:37:24,441 --> 00:37:26,591
Which is why I never
gave it a second thought.
486
00:37:27,370 --> 00:37:30,362
But then I found out about this
cache of 150 year old paper...
487
00:37:30,459 --> 00:37:35,658
with exactly the same mauve staining.
488
00:37:36,758 --> 00:37:41,354
I got in touch with them in England.
To whom did the sell the paper?
489
00:37:43,017 --> 00:37:46,930
- Lawrence Ehrlich.
- Astonishing coincidence, no?
490
00:37:47,431 --> 00:37:50,741
So you still believe
that book was a forgery.
491
00:37:50,921 --> 00:37:53,071
You think Ehrlich
was able to deceive me?
492
00:37:53,409 --> 00:37:57,118
I think nothing of the sort.
I think you were in it with him.
493
00:37:59,668 --> 00:38:01,181
How dare you accuse me of that?
494
00:38:01,273 --> 00:38:04,071
I don't know. I open my mouth
and the oddest things come out.
495
00:38:04,764 --> 00:38:10,157
I think an intensive comparison
between the London paper and this...
496
00:38:10,501 --> 00:38:13,334
will turn up some very
embarrassing similarities.
497
00:38:13,590 --> 00:38:18,220
What if it did? We can all
make an honest mistake.
498
00:38:18,606 --> 00:38:20,722
Like Constantine Stavros did?
499
00:38:20,893 --> 00:38:24,522
- Yes.
- Alright. Let's say you were right.
500
00:38:24,624 --> 00:38:27,900
I don't care about the manuscript,
but I do care about the murder.
501
00:38:28,476 --> 00:38:33,630
I see. First you accuse me of
fraud and now murder.
502
00:38:34,334 --> 00:38:38,213
Quite the opposite. I'm asking you
to help me catch a murderer.
503
00:38:38,667 --> 00:38:41,056
Or more precisely,
a murderess.
504
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:44,234
Mrs. Barlow?
505
00:38:44,645 --> 00:38:48,115
Ehrlich's gun was a 38. The gun
that killed Constantine was a 22.
506
00:38:48,256 --> 00:38:52,010
A small gun, a woman's weapon,
easily concealed in a purse.
507
00:38:52,549 --> 00:38:56,827
Ehrlich and Mrs. Barlow went
together to retrieve the page.
508
00:38:57,083 --> 00:39:00,155
Then came to dinner with me
to establish an alibi.
509
00:39:00,734 --> 00:39:03,043
Later, Ehrlich went back
to search for the page.
510
00:39:03,181 --> 00:39:06,014
But when he told her
I'd caught him there,...
511
00:39:06,150 --> 00:39:07,663
she panicked.
512
00:39:08,638 --> 00:39:11,948
You think she pushed him
out of the window?
513
00:39:12,650 --> 00:39:14,959
He was the only connection
that could lead to her.
514
00:39:15,138 --> 00:39:16,491
I also think...
515
00:39:17,264 --> 00:39:20,973
that she still has the 22 pistol
she killed Constantine with.
516
00:39:21,678 --> 00:39:23,316
ALL I need to do is find it.
517
00:39:24,005 --> 00:39:27,759
I need your help to make it
possible to search her house.
518
00:39:28,579 --> 00:39:31,252
Why should I help me?
519
00:39:31,869 --> 00:39:34,258
You owe Stavros,
you owe Ehrlich.
520
00:39:34,677 --> 00:39:37,271
Your authentification that
got this whole thing started.
521
00:39:39,131 --> 00:39:41,087
Yes. Point well taken.
522
00:39:42,622 --> 00:39:45,455
In return, I would see...
523
00:39:45,631 --> 00:39:49,146
that no breath of scandal sullies
your otherwise impeccable reputation.
524
00:39:51,850 --> 00:39:52,965
I see.
525
00:39:53,695 --> 00:39:56,163
The police can't search for
the 22 without a warrant,...
526
00:39:56,383 --> 00:40:00,137
but if Mrs. Barlow were to be at
my place for an intimate dinner...
527
00:40:00,356 --> 00:40:04,269
and then to be caught attempting
to steal the manuscript page...
528
00:40:04,408 --> 00:40:08,401
while my back was turned, it
would constitute probable cause.
529
00:40:09,824 --> 00:40:11,860
You see where I'm headed?
530
00:40:18,170 --> 00:40:22,641
All of us are in danger of going to
prison as long as that page exists.
531
00:40:22,784 --> 00:40:26,094
One of us has to get it back
and destroy it.
532
00:40:26,475 --> 00:40:28,511
Lawrence never told me
you were part of it.
533
00:40:28,602 --> 00:40:33,551
- He told me we'd fooled you.
- You couldn't do it without me.
534
00:40:33,737 --> 00:40:35,614
- Surely you realize...
- What I realize is...
535
00:40:35,703 --> 00:40:37,933
you'd like a cut of
the insurance money.
536
00:40:38,151 --> 00:40:41,427
Unless you would prefer me
to reexamine that page...
537
00:40:41,561 --> 00:40:46,476
and express sudden new doubts.
Stanton keeps it in his apartment.
538
00:40:46,857 --> 00:40:50,645
What are you suggesting? We hire
a burglar to go in and steal it?
539
00:40:51,230 --> 00:40:54,302
And let another person
in on our secret?
540
00:40:54,721 --> 00:40:55,836
I think not.
541
00:40:56,125 --> 00:41:01,563
I was under the impression you were
on extremely friendly terms with him.
542
00:41:02,304 --> 00:41:07,173
- You expect me to seduce him?
- No. Of course not.
543
00:41:08,363 --> 00:41:10,194
I expect Lindsey
to go and seduce him.
544
00:41:10,409 --> 00:41:12,161
- Don't be vulgar.
- Vulgar?
545
00:41:13,378 --> 00:41:14,777
Prison is vulgar.
546
00:41:15,585 --> 00:41:17,018
He's right mother.
547
00:41:20,399 --> 00:41:21,434
I'll do it.
548
00:42:28,647 --> 00:42:29,875
Mrs. Barlow.
549
00:42:33,141 --> 00:42:34,335
Good evening, sir.
550
00:42:34,585 --> 00:42:36,416
Detective Ishimini at your service.
551
00:42:37,193 --> 00:42:39,149
Of course it occurred to me
I may be wrong about Mrs. Barlow.
552
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:42,117
I presume that's the gun you
killed Constantine Stavros with...
553
00:42:42,208 --> 00:42:45,006
and planned to plant on
Mrs. Barlow's body.
554
00:42:45,177 --> 00:42:46,496
Drop it, professor.
555
00:42:48,387 --> 00:42:49,456
I'll kill him.
556
00:42:49,832 --> 00:42:51,823
Now don't move out of this room.
557
00:42:52,119 --> 00:42:56,909
If I get a glimpse of even
one of you, I'll shoot.
558
00:43:16,834 --> 00:43:18,187
Are you alright, Stanton?
559
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:22,276
The reports of my death,
as Mr. Twain once remarked,...
560
00:43:22,531 --> 00:43:24,203
are greatly exaggerated.
561
00:43:28,349 --> 00:43:32,547
Dennis, welcome back.
I got you a present.
562
00:43:33,123 --> 00:43:35,318
Thank you Robert.
What a pleasant surprise.
563
00:43:36,654 --> 00:43:38,610
"Mantavani plays the classics".
564
00:43:38,740 --> 00:43:41,049
I asked the man at the store,
he said you'd like it.
565
00:43:41,148 --> 00:43:44,299
- Thanks. That was a lovely though.
- Well, you're welcome.
566
00:43:44,518 --> 00:43:46,588
I will need you to talk to
the District Attorney.
567
00:43:46,685 --> 00:43:50,997
I'm sorry, I'm still in
the midst of my convalescence.
568
00:43:51,620 --> 00:43:53,451
It may be a week or so before...
569
00:43:54,228 --> 00:43:56,105
Thank you.
... I can come back full time.
570
00:43:56,234 --> 00:44:00,022
Take all the time you need. Yes.
571
00:44:00,406 --> 00:44:02,522
It's about the Barlow prosecution.
572
00:44:02,774 --> 00:44:06,449
I'm afraid there's a serious problem
with prosecuting the Barlows.
573
00:44:06,625 --> 00:44:08,820
They had nothing to do
with either murder.
574
00:44:08,993 --> 00:44:14,351
Fitzpatrick killed poor Constantine
and pushed Ehrlich out the window.
575
00:44:14,610 --> 00:44:16,726
Without their cooperation,
we could never had caught him.
576
00:44:16,897 --> 00:44:20,128
What do you mean? They tried
to defraud the company.
577
00:44:20,307 --> 00:44:22,377
We have no physical proof of that.
578
00:44:22,674 --> 00:44:26,462
No physical evidence? We have
the forged manuscript page.
579
00:44:26,606 --> 00:44:29,359
We don't have the
forged manuscript page?
580
00:44:29,816 --> 00:44:33,206
No, Lindsey Barlow went to retrieve
it, as far as I know she has it.
581
00:44:33,387 --> 00:44:36,220
- If it still exists.
- You let her destroy it?
582
00:44:36,516 --> 00:44:40,065
I made a deal to trap a killer.
I intend to honor it.
583
00:44:40,168 --> 00:44:43,683
Don't look glum. District
Attorneys do it all the time.
584
00:44:43,939 --> 00:44:48,217
The Barlows have agreed to withdraw
their claim for 5 million dollars.
585
00:44:48,393 --> 00:44:51,146
So your record it still intact.
586
00:44:51,883 --> 00:44:53,236
I'm late already.
587
00:44:56,898 --> 00:44:57,887
Bye.
588
00:45:02,716 --> 00:45:04,911
You were up there an awful
long time. Any problems?
589
00:45:05,003 --> 00:45:08,882
None. Just re-explaining the terms
of our arrangement to my superior,...
590
00:45:09,055 --> 00:45:11,728
a man not given
to grasping the obvious.
591
00:45:12,105 --> 00:45:14,380
Lindsey,
I didn't expect you as well.
592
00:45:14,592 --> 00:45:16,742
Mother said you were going on
a day trip to the wine country.
593
00:45:16,839 --> 00:45:19,592
- I thought it sounded like fun.
- You're a loyal, concerned daughter,...
594
00:45:19,688 --> 00:45:23,567
but don't you think it's time you let
your mother out without a chaperone.
595
00:45:26,348 --> 00:45:29,977
Yes. I guess it is.
Have a good time.
596
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:31,275
We plan to.
597
00:45:32,728 --> 00:45:36,118
Mother don't let him get too tipsy.
That wine can catch up on you.
598
00:45:36,258 --> 00:45:40,297
Dennis, don't keep her out late.
I expect you back by midnight.
599
00:45:40,752 --> 00:45:41,821
Midnight?
600
00:45:41,871 --> 00:45:46,421
