Now, if he was gonna
Seal that room, lock the door,

Make it look like suicide,

Why wouldn't he put the gun
In his wife's hand?

He made a mistake, and that's
How killers get caught.

Mr. Christie, a question.

Did you kill your wife?

I did not kill my wife!

11 of those jurors
Could find me innocent,

And he could foul it
All up for me.

Why don't you disqualify
Yourself?

We'll get an alternate juror
In here and get our verdict.

That's what I'm afraid of,
Minnie.

[ "Hawaii five-o" theme plays ]

Keep it under .0003, ben.

Plus or minus how much?

No, no pluses.

The whole ballgame's right here.

[ telephone rings ]

This is dorn electronics.

Oh, hi, penny.
Hey, ben, would you --

Would you shut that machine off
Just for a minute, please?

Okay.

What time?

Hey, okay, penny.
I'm finishing up. We'll --

Well, the, uh, so-called
Guest of honor is still here,

Working on --
You are working, aren't you?

-you bet.
-he says he's working.

Penny --
Well, penny, don't be angry.

[ click ]

Penny? Penny?!

[ receiver clatters ]

Sounds like penny is upset.

Yeah, it's getting to be
A habit.

Anyway, she says
Everybody's at the party,

So, uh, we better get crackin'.

Hey, phil, do me a favor,
Would you?

Look, I'm running late
Closing the books.

Would you pick shirley up
For me?

-sure.
-great.

She's at her dad's,

And, uh, I'll be a half-hour
Behind at the most.

-okay.
-thanks.

Let's do it, ben.

Yeah, coming.

See you at the party.

Okay.

Why didn't howard call for me?

Oh, he had
Some last-minute business.

[ chuckles ]
We're not even married,

And he's staying late
At the office.

Which reminds me --

Have you been as attentive
To penny as you should, philip?

Oh, yeah. Sure.

[ buzzing ]

[ engine turns over ]

Yeah. [ chuckles ]

How you doing, steve?

[ laughing ] No.

[ laughs ]

[ indistinct conversations ]

Hello. How are you?

Hi. Glad you could make it.

-how you doing?
-good.

See you later, phil.

Nice to see you all.

How you doing?

-how's it going?
-hi, dad.

Hello, love. How are you?

-good to see you.
-gin and tonic, right?

-hello, mr. Van dorn.
-hey.

Hey, ben. How's it going?

Hey, uh, aren't you quitting
A little early?

Who's minding the store
With all my employees here?

Howard's still at the office
Grinding away, as usual.

I got to go find penny.

Hi.

I'm sorry, honey.
I had to finish up.

You always have to
Finish up, philip.

It's very important project.
Howard's still working.

Oh, come on, honey.

Don't be angry
Because I'm a little late.

I'm not angry with you
Because you're late.

Well, what's the problem?

Don't play innocent with me.

I spotted that man you hired
To follow me.

What?!

Checking and spying on me.

You know, I knew
You were jealous, philip,

But having me followed
Is something else!

Wait a minute.

I don't know what the hell
You're talking about.

I'll tell you
What I'm talking about.

Your ugly suspicions.

I can't take them anymore --
Or you!

Philip, I want a divorce.

You're the one with the ugly
Suspicions, not me.

Now, I remember
"Till death do us part" --

That is, if you don't.

And that's the way
It's gonna be.

-what happened?
-I don't know.

Did something happen to them?

[ doorknob rattles ]

Penny.

Penny, come on.
Will you let me in?

Damn it, penny,
I want to talk to you.

Now, come on, let me in.

[ indistinct conversations ]

-[ gunshots ]
-[ gasps ]

[ pounding on door ]

Penny?

Penny, are you okay?

Penny!

It's penny.
She's in there.

-let's bust it in.
-oh!

Oh, my god!

Penny?

Penny?

Recognize it, mr. Christie?

Yes, it's mine.

You were up here alone
With your wife?

No.

She was locked in here,
And I was out in the hall.

[ chuckles ]
Damn it, sergeant.

I know it sounds crazy.

I went down the hall to get her
On the extension phone.

When I heard the shots,
I ran back here.

And the door was still locked?

Yes.

Mr. Jarvis?

That's right --
The door was locked.

Phil and I broke it in.

There was nobody in here?

Nobody except my wife...

On the floor.

What you're saying is,
Your wife,

With the door, the only method
Of entry and exit, locked,

Shot herself dead,

Walked over to the closet,

Put your gun in your jacket,

Then came back here,
And laid down on the floor.

Well, somebody must have
Been in here with her

And got out
While I was down the hall.

I don't know.

And locked the door
From the inside?

Well, what about the balcony?

With a houseful of guests
Sitting directly below?

Mr. Christie, I think
I'd better read you your rights.

Oh, you can forget this, steve.

Forget it?

You're exempt.

Some clerk made an error,
That's all.

I'm not exempt
Unless I request it.

Isn't that the way it works,
Governor?

Right.

I'll make a telephone call.

About that marcus case...

Excuse me, governor.

Isn't it a citizen's duty?

Sure.

But you're a --
You're a special case.

Oh? Am I? Why?

They'll never accept you, steve.

You're a --
You're a police officer.

Now, let me save you
A lot of time and trouble

And get you out of this.

I think I'll go down there
Anyway.

Now, don't be stubborn, steve.

You'll only be wasting
Your time.

Mr. Stephen mcgarrett.

-mr. Stephen mcgarrett?
-yes, sir.

Would you be able to make
A decision

As to the guilt or innocence
Of the accused

Solely upon the evidence
Presented in this court --

I mean, regardless
Of your police affiliation?

Oh, I think so, sir.

Do you know mr. Keith,
The deputy district attorney?

No.

How about the accused,
Mr. Philip christie,

Or defense counsel,
Mr. Springer?

No, your honor.

Now, is there any reason why you
Should not serve as a juror

In this case, mr. Mcgarrett?

I can't think of any,
Your honor.

The people may question.

Good morning, mr. Mcgarrett.

Good morning.

I have only one question.

A peculiarity of this case

Involves the distinction
Between two kinds of evidence.

I refer to direct evidence
And circumstantial evidence.

You understand, sir,

That in the eyes of the law,

One is as valid and damning
As the other?

Yes, I understand that point.

In this case, no one knows

How the murderer
Got out of the murder room,

Since all exits were locked
And bolted from the inside.

No one knows, that is,
Except the murderer himself,

Since the murderer did escape.

The people must prove
Circumstantially, therefore,

The defendant,
A mechanical genius,

An inventor, and --

Object, your honor.

The district attorney

Is not supposed to be making
An opening address.

Sustained.

Pass for cause, your honor.

Now the defense may question.

Two-to-one the defense
Throws him out for cause.

If you need money that badly,

Why don't you just ask me
For a loan?

Mr. Mcgarrett,
I would ask two questions.

Can and will you accept
Testimony by a witness

Who is not a police officer

With the same credibility

As you would a member
Of the police force?

Oh, I think so.

I don't think a man's occupation

Has anything to do
With his integrity.

And, mr. Mcgarrett,
Are you objective enough

To accept the law,

Which presumes the innocence
Of the accused

Unless and until guilt is proved
Beyond reasonable doubt

And with moral certainty?

Are you that objective,
Mr. Mcgarrett?

Without question.

That means, mr. Mcgarrett,

That you have no prejudice
In your mind,

No subjective leaning
Toward a presumption of guilt

Just because the defendant
Has been arrested, processed,

And brought here to trial.

None whatsoever.

Thank you, mr. Mcgarrett.

Pass for cause, your honor.

[ indistinct whispering ]

What now?

The peremptories, I think --
Challenges --

Where they bounce steve.

The first peremptory
Is with the defense.

-10-to-1?
-chh.

Your honor, the defense accepts
The jury as constitute.

The people accept the jury,
Your honor.

Mr. Mcgarrett, would you please
Have a chair?

The jury is now properly
Impaneled.

That's his first mistake --
Leaving mcgarrett on the jury.

The man is a cop.

He's a cop.

How could you want him
On the jury?

He's a special kind of cop.

Don't you want me
To be acquitted?

Oh, philip.

11 of those jurors
Could find me innocent,

And he could foul it
All up for me.

We're not that strong, philip.

I am innocent.

All the more reason
For mcgarrett being on the jury.

He's got an impeccable
Reputation

For honesty and integrity.

On top of that,
He's intelligent and perceptive.

Our case needs somebody
Like that on that jury.

Well, you could be wrong
About him.

Sure. We all make mistakes.

A lot of people
Think you made one.

Two shots.

The first one
Shattered the aorta.

The second one penetrated
The left ventricle of the heart.

Death was instantaneous.

The bullets were fired
From a .38-caliber revolver.

Yes, sir, that's the weapon.

It's registered
To the defendant, phil christie.

What was the condition
Of the room?

Well, the body of the deceased
Was on the floor.

The door, which was
The only exit from the room,

Was broken in and the lock
Ripped out of its studs.

What kind of lock, sergeant?

A dead-bolt lock.

But how could that be, sergeant?

How could the murderer
Draw that dead bolt

From inside the bedroom
And then get out into the hall?

I don't know, sir.

It would take a genius
To figure that out.

I was the first one
Up the stairs.

Phil was pounding on the door.

It was locked,
So we broke it open.

By then,
Everyone else was up there.

When you broke the door down,
What did you see?

Well, penny...On the floor.

And what else?

Nothing else.
The room was empty.

I want to make this very clear,
Mr. Jarvis.

Philip christie, the defendant,

Was already upstairs
When you got there

At the bedroom door?

Yes.

Your witness.

Mr. Jarvis, did you know
Mrs. Christie

Before she married
The defendant?

Yes.

Did you know her well?

Yes.

Well enough to ask her
To marry me.

Are you -- I should --
I should say were you --

In love with mrs. Christie
On the day she died?

I'm still in love with her.

[ spectators murmuring ]

I am vincent van dorn,
President of dorn electronics.

I hired philip christie to head
My experimental laboratory.

His background includes
Postgraduate courses at m.I.T.

In mechanical engineering
And theoretical physics.

So solving a puzzle like locking
An inside dead bolt

From outside the door would be
A relatively simple task.

Objection, your honor.
Calling for a conclusion.

Sustained.

Now, if the district attorney

Does not object to interrupting
His examination of this witness,

I think it's a good time
To break for lunch.

No objection, your honor.

Since you picked up
The check, duke,

I hope you don't put it
On your expense account.

[ laughter ]

I appreciate your interest
In this case, gentlemen,

But who's minding the store?

We're on top of everything,
Steve.

H.P.D. Closed in

On that smuggling ring
We were worried about.

The thing we're puzzling out is,
Uh, the sealed-room thing --

How the murderer could get out.

Well, now, wait a minute.
Wait a minute, fellas.

You know I'm not supposed to
Discuss this case with anyone.

Sure, we know.

We weren't gonna
Discuss it, steve.

Of course not.

We were just going to say it was
Kind of an...Intriguing puzzle,

Something we might look into
On our own.

No way. No way.

Not with me on the jury.

Five-o business only.
Routine business only, huh?

Clear?

Like crystal.

Sure is.

Okay.

Do you solemnly swear to tell
The truth, the whole truth,

And nothing but the truth,
So help you god?

I do.

Mr. Wahili,

Prior to mr. Christie coming
To work for dorn electronics,

You were head of research
Experimental, were you not?

Yes, sir.

You heard mr. Van dorn testify

As to mr. Christie's
Technical expertise.

Do you agree that the defendant
Is an electronic genius?

Oh, yes.

At mr. Van dorn's request,

I examined phil christie's
Résumé.

His knowledge and background
In the electronic field

Is outstanding.

Working close to him,
Mr. Wahili,

Were you aware of phone calls

The defendant received
From his wife?

Uh, yes, sir.

Arguments,
Fights over the phone?

Well, a wife has a right to --

Just answer the questions,
Please.

Very well.

As a matter of fact,
You were present at the party

When philip christie had a
Violent argument with his wife?

How do you define violent, sir?

Intense, heated, loud,
Bitter, vehement, furious.

Well, then the argument
Was violent.

Thank you...Mr. Wahili.

I'm controller
For dorn electronics.

Philip and I are
In different departments,

But we're friends socially --

Well, that is, shirley and I
With phil and penny --

I mean, when penny was...

You were present
At the party on the 28th.

Well, I wasn't there
When they had their argument.

Uh, I got there

Just as everybody
Was heading up the stairs.

And I followed, but I really
Didn't know what was going on

Until phil and jarvis
Broke the door in

And we found penny on the floor.

And that's all I know, really.

You were a personal friend
Of the deceased?

Yes.

You were in the house
When the argument took place?

Yes.

Did deceased accuse
The defendant of spying on her,

Of hiring someone to follow her?

Did she accuse the defendant
Of being jealous?

I wasn't paying
Too much attention.

I was talking to my father.

Did she demand a divorce?

Did you hear her tell him she
Wanted a divorce, ms. Van dorn?

What was the defendant's reply?

Phil didn't want a divorce.
He loved her. He --

He got angry.
He raised his voice.

His exact words were,

"I remember
'till death do us part,'

"If you don't.

That's the way
It's going to be."

Isn't that what he said,
Ms. Van dorn?

Yes, that's what he said, but he
Said that out of love and hurt.

And I only hope
That when I get married

That my husband could say
Things like that to me

And that he'll love me
Enough to be jealous.

No more questions.

What is your occupation,
Mr. Villipeg?

I'm a licensed
Private investigator.

Please tell the court
What occurred

About one week
Before decedent's murder.

I was hired, by telephone,
To follow mrs. Penelope christie

To find out if she was seeing
Someone...Romantically.

Who hired you?

A man? A woman?

I couldn't even tell that.

The voice was unidentifiable.

How did you make your reports?

I got a phone call
Every day at 6:00.

What was the result of your
Investigation, mr. Villipeg?

Well, I thought once or twice

That she might be on her way
To meeting someone,

But both times,
She gave me the sli--

I lost her.

Counselor.

Thanks for coming, gentlemen.

What I have to say may...
Be a little unorthodox.

But I thought since h.P.D.
Is all finished with it,

Five-o could do
Some investigating.

Well, it's a little bit unusual,

As steve mcgarrett
Is sitting on the jury.

However,
What do you have in mind?

That private detective --
Who hired him?

Why?

Was penny seeing someone?

Did that person
Have a motive to kill her?

Kind of late in the day for that
Kind of investigation, isn't it?

Maybe I should have started
After him sooner,

Not relied on his affidavit.

But I'm convinced.
I know my client is innocent.

Give me something,
Anything I can work on,

And I'll ram it
Into the evidence

Even after the jury's out.

Well, that's routine for five-o,
Right, danny?

I hope steve sees it that way
When he finds out.

Thanks.

Okay.

Philip christie to the stand.

Mr. Christie, please tell
The court what happened

On that day when you followed
Your wife upstairs.

She, uh, was terribly upset.

And when she locked herself
In the bedroom

And wouldn't answer me,
I went down to the hall,

And I tried to reach her
On the extension phone.

And then?

She didn't answer that, either.

And then I heard the shots.

And what did you do?

I ran back to the bedroom and
Started pounding on the door.

It was still locked?

Yes.

Then everybody from downstairs
Came up,

And we broke the door down.

And found your wife dead
And the room empty.

Yes.

Mr. Christie, that is the truth,

The entire truth,
As you know it?

Yes, it is.

Thank you, mr. Christie.
Your witness.

Mr. Christie...

You were down the hall, you say,
When you heard the shots?

Yes, at the extension phone.

Yes, in the alcove.

It's practically within sight
Of the bedroom door.

Yes.

You wouldn't procrastinate after
Hearing two gunshots, would you?

No.

No. Of course not.

Then suppose we follow
Your story, mr. Christie.

Suppose there was somebody else
In that bedroom

Who shot your wife.

He or she would have
Had to hide your revolver

In your jacket in the closet,

Get out of the bedroom,

Lock the dead bolt
From the outside,

And disappear

Somewhere out of your sight,
Mr. Christie.

Where?

I don't know.

No way, mr. Christie,

'cause what really happened

Was that when you followed
Your wife upstairs,

The bedroom door was not locked.

And when you shot your wife,
You took your gun

And, in desperate panic,
Hid it in your jacket,

Hoping you'd be able
To dispose of it later,

And locked yourself out
In the hallway

As the guests arrived
From downstairs.

No telephone, no hallway --

Just you and your wife
And your gun and your dead bolt.

Objection!

Counsel's not only badgering
The witness,

He's drawing his own conclusion
From his own accusations.

Objection sustained.

Would the clerk please strike
That statement from the record?

Very well.

You killed her,
Didn't you, mr. Christie?

I object, your honor.
Another conclusion!

Sustained.

Now, would the district attorney
Please ask a question?

All right.

Mr. Christie, a question.

Did you kill your wife?

No!

I did not kill my wife!

[ spectators murmuring ]

The jury will now retire
For deliberation,

Mindful of the law
Pertaining to this case,

As I have instructed you,

That you are to reach a decision

Only upon the evidence
Presented here,

And that if a reasonable doubt
Of guilt exists,

Then you must find
The defendant innocent.

However, if there be
No reasonable doubt of guilt

And you feel there is a moral
Certainty that he is guilty,

Then you must find
The defendant guilty.

All rise.

Well, first of all,
I want to thank mr. Mcgarrett

For graciously declining the
Nomination for foreman's job.

Not that it matters too much,

Because this deliberation
May not last long enough

For the county
To pay for our supper.

But just to get an idea how
Everybody thinks, let's vote.

"Guilty."

"Guilty."

"Guilty."

"Guilty."

"Guilty."

"Guilty."

"Guilty."

"Guilty."

"Guilty."

"Guilty."

Well, it looks like we have
A rugged individualist among us.

Now, who has the slightest doubt

That that character
Killed his wife?

I do.

[ jurors murmuring ]

Well, mr. Mcgarrett,
11 of us think he's guilty.

Why don't you?

Because I have
Reasonable doubts.

Like what?

This whole case is based
On circumstantial evidence.

Is it because the d.A.
Can't figure out

How christie locked the door
From outside the room?

That's right.

The d.A. Isn't an electronic
Genius like the defendant.

That's the whole point.
Who is?

Are you flying by the seat
Of your pants, mr. Mcgarrett,

Or do you really have something

To back up
Your reasonable doubts?

I think one of the key points
In this mystery is...

Who hired the private detective

To follow, uh, penny christie,
And why.

Well, the d.A.
Laid that one on christie.

And another thing --

Why did philip christie,
If he was the murderer,

Hide the revolver
In his own coat pocket?

-why not?
-why not?

Because it's dumb, stupid,
And he's not a stupid man.

Now, if he was gonna seal
That room, lock the door,

Make it look like suicide,

Why wouldn't he put the gun
In his wife's hand

And really make it
Look like suicide?

His head wasn't all together.

He made a mistake, and that's
How killers get caught.

You've been reading too many
Detective novels, minnie.

How did the killer
Get out of that room?

The balcony, maybe.

With all those people
Sitting downstairs?

He'd have to be invisible.

And another thing --

What kind of a dead-bolt lock
Was that, anyway?

I, uh -- I'd like to see

State's, uh...
Exhibit number 7, please.

If I knew who hired me,
I'd tell you.

Somebody paid you.

With cash
In an envelope mailed to me.

Look, you guys, I'm on a tail.

What about the voice
On the telephone?

Was it a man or a woman?

Sounded like somebody

With a-a handkerchief
Over the mouthpiece.

Why the secrecy? Any idea?

Hell, if it was the husband,

He didn't want it
To get back to her.

One thing
About jealous people --

They hate to admit it.

Your, uh, personal opinion,
Mr. Villipeg, off the record --

Was she seeing anyone?

In my book,
It's two-to-one she was.

Hey, there she comes!

I got to catch up with her.

Who?

My wife.

[ chuckles ]

What a yo-yo.

[ chuckling ] Yeah.

Anybody agree with our law
Officer here, put up your hand.

Hmm?

Still 11 to 1 against you,
Mcgarrett.

You're all alone.

Okay, so I'm alone.

We may have to spend
An awful lot of time here,

Ladies and gentlemen,

Until I can convince you that
That man may be innocent.

Now, may I reiterate --

How did the murderer
Get out of that room

With a dead-bolt lock
Thrown from the inside?

Can anyone answer that question?

No?

Then how can you convict him?

[ indistinct conversations ]

What your butting your head
Against, mcgarrett,

Is the solid fact that christie
Was there on the scene,

And he was the only one
With a motive.

You mean the obvious one
With the motive,

Not necessarily the only one.

Mcgarrett,
You're not going anywhere --

No facts, no theories,
Nothing but obstinacy.

You know, I knew a lady once
As obstinate as you.

She died a virgin.

[ chuckles ]

Good for her.

They're very rare these days.

Let me ask you something,
Minnie.

Why do you think
That christie's wife

Picked a time like that party
To get so vehement?

Why right then
In front of all her guests

Did she demand a divorce?

Well, one time's as good
As another to pick a fight.

No, I don't think so.

Something might have been
Brewing, though...

Something to do with our private
Detective following her,

For instance...

Something to do
With her guilt feelings, maybe.

[ chuckles ]

Oh, if that
Isn't turning it around

For a man's cockeyed view
Of things.

Now, why wouldn't a wife
Get uptight

With a husband who's jealous,

Who puts a tail on her,

And who always stays away
From home?

Well, there's another way
Of looking at it.

What's that?

Remember that
Private investigator testified

That penny christie
Was able to lose him

When he had her
Under surveillance --

Lose him twice, to be exact?

Well?

Why would she do that

Unless she was meeting someone
She didn't want to be seen with?

Did you ever think of that,
Minnie?

Uh...May I have, um,
Some more coffee, please?

Quite a place.

Thank you, thank you.

Sorry we missed shirley,
Mr. Van dorn.

Oh, she and howard
Just went for an early dinner.

You're welcome to wait for her
If you like.

Thank you.

Sit down, sit down.

Uh, what did you want to talk
To my daughter about?

Oh, we just wanted
A woman's opinion

On the, uh, private detective.

I don't understand.

A woman could possibly
Look at it

From only one point of view --

That her husband hired
The detective

Because he suspects her.

And a man?

A man who discovers he's being
Followed has some options.

He might think, uh,
"My wife's onto me,"

"My mistress's husband
Suspects me,"

Or, "My mistress thinks
I'm cheating on her

With someone else."

There are all kinds
Of possibilities.

You're serious.

But we think
There's still another way

A woman could look at it,

That maybe it isn't her husband
Who's having her followed.

It's someone
Who wants to find out

Who she's having an affair with.

Possible, mr. Van dorn?

Oh, yes, of course, possible.

Do you think philip christie
Hired that private detective?

No, he isn't that kind of man,
Not from what I know about him.

Then you don't believe he killed
His wife, either, do you?

No.

But the district attorney does,
And the police department does.

And my guess is,
So will the jury.

Will you look around you,
Mcgarrett?

It is still 11 to 1, guilty.

Nobody has changed their mind.

You have not come up with one
Shred of a reasonable doubt.

Motive, mcgarrett.

Opportunity, mcgarrett.

Who else could have
Killed that lady?

Now, you look --

We've all got homes
And businesses.

I know we're all getting fat

On 20 bucks a day
And 20 cents a mile,

But the work is getting
A little monotonous.

Oh, I know it's frustrating
For all of us --

For me, too, minnie --

Because there are avenues
I wish had been explored,

Clues I wish were followed,

Even questions I wish had been
Asked on the witness stand.

Look, mcgarrett, why don't you
Disqualify yourself,

Get yourself excused?

We'll get an alternate juror
In here and get our verdict.

That's what I'm afraid of,
Minnie.

Ladies and gentlemen, uh,
May I make a suggestion?

I have some clues in my head.

I haven't been able to put them
All together yet,

But I'd like to ask
One more favor.

What favor? What favor?

[ sighs ]

A man's freedom, his future,
His life are at stake here.

Let's all go
To philip christie's home,

The scene of the crime.

But what for?

Well, who knows?
We may learn something.

And if we don't learn something?

I'll make it unanimous, minnie.

Carol, get that bailiff.

That the bedroom?

Yeah.

He'd have to have wings
To get out of there.

And you're right, mcgarrett --
He'd have to be invisible.

Thanks for the advice, minnie.

You're welcome.

Do you see something?

That back door.

That important?

It could be, minnie.

Bailiff, where's the phone
They referred to?

It's down the hall, sir.

Thank you.

If he was in here on the phone
And heard the shots,

How long would it take him
To pop his head out

And look down the hall

And see somebody
Coming out of that bedroom?

-not long, minnie.
-mm.

[ sighs ]

We've been assuming
The murderer was a man.

You think
It was philip christie.

I do.

Well, minnie...

I think
It could be someone else.

A woman, mr. Mcgarrett?

Why not?

Why not?

Penny christie ran up here.

Maybe there was a woman
Already here

Combing her hair
Or putting on lipstick.

Oh, I've done that
A lot of times at parties --

Using the hostess's bedroom.

How many times have you done it
To kill someone?

Suppose it was a woman
Wanting to find out

If penny christie was having
An affair with her man.

Benjamin wahili's wife,
For instance,

Or howard roman's fiancée,
Shirley van dorn.

Ah!

Then the woman, not getting
Any results from the detective,

Comes up here
Snooping around for evidence,

Finds christie's gun, and shoots
The woman who's taking her man.

That's very good, minnie.

No, wait.

Then the woman locks herself
In here

And disappears
Through the walls.

Or it could have been a man,
The lover himself,

Who slipped away from the party
And came up here.

To powder his nose?

No, minnie, no.

To destroy evidence --

A gift he might have given her
Or letters he had written,

Because he wanted to end
The affair.

But she told him she was
Going to get a divorce

From philip christie, anyway,

And she didn't care if the whole
World knew about their affair.

Just who would this man be,
Mr. Mcgarrett?

Ah. That's the question,
Isn't it?

Still sending up
Smoke screens, mcgarrett.

How did the murderer get out of
This room if it wasn't christie?

That is the question.

I've got a pretty good idea how.

But I'm not positive who.

You have an idea who?

Well, I have an idea
Who it couldn't be.

It couldn't be anyone
Who was downstairs

When the shots were fired.

Had to be up here
To commit the murder, didn't he?

Okay, let's have an elimination.

Who was downstairs?

All right.

Wasn't it mr. Jarvis
Who led the way up here,

Found philip christie
Outside that locked door,

And helped him break it in?

That's right.
That eliminates him.

And shirley van dorn
Testified she was downstairs

When mr. And mrs. Christie
Had their argument.

When mrs. Christie ran upstairs,

Shirley was talking
To her father, wasn't she?

That eliminates her
And her father.

I'd say that.

Benjamin wahili mixed a drink
For shirley, didn't he?

So he was downstairs, too.

And howard roman
Wasn't even here,

So that eliminates everybody --

Everybody except christie.

Now, come on, mcgarrett.

If you have an idea how somebody
Got out of this room

Without a-a gadget or --

Or an electronic invention,
Would you tell us now?

Okay. Watch.

Bailiff.

-all through here?
-no.

Are the witnesses downstairs
With the judge?

Yes, sir, they all are.

Would you tell the judge
That I'd like his permission

To re-create the circumstances
That led up to the murder?

Yes, sir.

Oh, mcgarrett, here we go again.

Since you think this is
Absolutely necessary,

Let's get on with it.

Now, how do you plan
To stage it, mr. Mcgarrett?

Well, I would like everyone

To do just what they were doing
Before the shots were fired,

Which prompted them
To run upstairs.

Uh, some of the jurors
Can act as guests here

And in the living room.

Mr. Roman, since you had
Not arrived yet,

I wondered
If you'd be kind enough

To assist me and the judge.

Certainly. Anything I can do.

-mr. Mcgarrett.
-yes?

This is the murder weapon, sir.

You put blanks in it,
As I suggested?

Yes, sir.

What are you gonna do with that,
Mcgarrett?

I'm not gonna fire it,
I promise you that.

Mr. Roman, your honor,
May I speak to you a moment?

Well, perhaps we better
Take our positions.

Mr. Christie, now,
I'm your wife.

I'm having an argument with you.

By the way,

Was this the approximate place
Where she stood?

Yes.

Everybody was watching,

And then she ran
Up those stairs.

At about this pace?

A little faster.

My wife was in there.

Okay, then what happened?

I called to her.

Well, go ahead and call.

Do everything
Exactly as you did it that day.

[ doorknob rattles ]

Penny.

Come on, penny,
Let me in, will you?

Damn it, penny,
I want to talk to you.

And then I went down the hall
To the phone.

Okay, go ahead.

[ gunshots ]

Penny!

Penny!

It's penny. She's in there.

Let's break it in.

What is this rigmarole,
Mcgarrett?

You weren't supposed to fire
That revolver.

I didn't fire it, minnie.

I was playing the victim,
Mrs. Christie.

But I wasn't alone in here.

Mr. Roman fired the shot.

How could he?
He just came in.

Your honor, would you mind
Coming in now, please?

No, he didn't just come in.

He was in here all the time.

But I was here, too,
Upon mr. Mcgarrett's request.

I saw him fire the shots

And then step behind the door
Until it broke open.

Then he slipped in among you.

[ chuckles ]
And nobody noticed.

I don't believe it. He couldn't.

Well, no one is looking for
Anybody to be behind that door.

Everybody was looking where
Mr. Christie was looking --

At his wife's body
Lying on the floor.

[ sighs ]

All right, mcgarrett.

If mr. Roman was playing
The part of the killer,

Who is the real killer?

Who, mcgarrett?

Well, as we reasoned it out,
Minnie,

It couldn't be anyone downstairs
At the time of the killing.

It had to be someone up here,

Someone perhaps looking
For evidence of this affair

With mrs. Christie,
When she burst in on him.

Mr. Roman, would you mind
Stepping forward, please?

Now, when philip christie
Left the factory that night,

Didn't you leave
Immediately after him

And come straight here?

Didn't you use
The back staircase?

And didn't penny christie
Find you in this room,

Threatened to tell the world

About the affair
She was having with you?

And threatened to break up

Your forthcoming marriage
To the boss's daughter?

Aren't you the murderer,
Mr. Roman,

Just as we staged it here?

Very well.
I'll take that gun now.

Ladies and gentlemen
Of the jury, how do you find?

Your honor, we the jury find
The defendant...Not guilty.

The defendant
Is herewith discharged.

And thank you very much,

Ladies and gentlemen
Of the jury.

[ gavel bangs ]

Dismissed.

[ indistinct conversations ]

Nice job, minnie.

Uh, m-mcgarrett?

Would you like to have lunch?

Never eat lunch, minnie.

Oh.

You married, mcgarrett?

No.

No lady would ever have me.
[ chuckles ]

No, it wouldn't work.
You're too stubborn for me.

Probably, but thanks
For the thought, anyway, minnie.

You're welcome.

You're a lovely lady, minnie.

I wish I had met you
10 years ago.

Well, we would have had
The same problems then.

Probably, but we could have had

A hell of a lot of fun
Solving them.

[ laughs ]

Nice way to celebrate
The end of jury duty.

Sure is.

Now that the case is over
And you can talk about it,

Will you answer a question,
Steve?

If I can, danno. Go ahead.

How did you get howard roman
To play the part?

That was kind of a dangerous
Suggestion, wasn't it?

Yeah, I guess so.

But how could he refuse with
The judge being right there?

Besides, he was the only one
Who had a perfect alibi.

Any more questions?

Just one.

Do you ever sail this thing?

[ both laugh ]

I'll have you know
That this boat is not a thing.

It's a lady,
So treat her with respect.

All right, avast, avast.

Go on ashore, you lubbers.
