Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,042 --> 00:00:02,712
Randolph is old enough to be your father.
2
00:00:02,795 --> 00:00:04,505
At least let him live long enough
3
00:00:04,588 --> 00:00:07,028
to dole out our meal money before you give him a heart attack.
4
00:00:07,425 --> 00:00:09,301
Tonight on Murder, She Wrote.
5
00:00:09,385 --> 00:00:12,263
Hell of a hit, Mike. You must have swung with your eyes open.
6
00:00:12,346 --> 00:00:14,639
I got each of you boys a fair amount of money to play ball this year.
7
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:16,350
So that’s what you do, you play ball.
8
00:00:18,894 --> 00:00:20,019
I hope you don’t think that I’m...
9
00:00:20,020 --> 00:00:21,731
- butting in here. - Butt away, ma’am.
10
00:00:21,814 --> 00:00:24,400
If you’re so interested in male anatomy,
11
00:00:24,483 --> 00:00:28,571
I can give you a good look at mine - all of it.
12
00:01:19,497 --> 00:01:22,541
Yes, that’s right.
13
00:01:22,625 --> 00:01:24,585
I’m trying to reach my nephew Johnny Eaton.
14
00:01:24,668 --> 00:01:28,839
But he couldn’t have checked out yesterday.
15
00:01:28,923 --> 00:01:32,718
No. No, I told him that when I finish my writers’ seminar here in Scottsdale,
16
00:01:32,802 --> 00:01:36,931
I’d drive over to Tucson and watch him in spring training.
17
00:01:37,014 --> 00:01:40,351
Yes. Yes, I understand.
18
00:01:40,434 --> 00:01:42,770
Thank you.
19
00:01:48,609 --> 00:01:51,070
- Good morning. - Good morning.
20
00:01:51,153 --> 00:01:55,366
Your, uh, car to Tucson is ready when you are, Mrs. Fletcher.
21
00:01:55,449 --> 00:01:57,785
Well, I’m afraid I’ve had a change of plan.
22
00:01:57,868 --> 00:02:00,704
There’s a noon flight to Boston that I’d like to catch.
23
00:02:01,330 --> 00:02:05,960
Yes, ma’am. I’ll have the concierge call and make a reservation for you.
24
00:02:07,044 --> 00:02:09,004
Wait. Did you see this?
25
00:02:09,088 --> 00:02:10,881
Did I see it?
26
00:02:10,965 --> 00:02:13,843
This is my nephew on the front page.
27
00:02:13,926 --> 00:02:16,136
Your nephew is Mike Warlop?
28
00:02:16,220 --> 00:02:18,889
No, my nephew is Johnny Eaton.
29
00:02:18,973 --> 00:02:23,143
Warlop’s the best hitter my Comets have had in 20 years,
30
00:02:23,227 --> 00:02:26,188
and they go and trade him for these two nobodies.
31
00:02:26,272 --> 00:02:28,399
Nobodies?
32
00:02:28,482 --> 00:02:30,734
- Oh, uh, no offense. - Just a moment.
33
00:02:30,818 --> 00:02:33,487
This says that they train here in Scottsdale.
34
00:02:33,571 --> 00:02:36,740
Yes, ma’am. Comets always stay in this inn.
35
00:02:36,824 --> 00:02:39,994
Ballplayers are good tippers. At least the stars are.
36
00:03:04,393 --> 00:03:07,396
Listen to me. "Traded" does not mean "let go."
37
00:03:07,479 --> 00:03:10,441
The Comets really wanted you guys very badly this year. Remember that.
38
00:03:10,524 --> 00:03:12,818
Al, what they wanted was the five million in cash.
39
00:03:12,902 --> 00:03:15,571
We’re just the " two players to be named later" who was named now.
40
00:03:15,654 --> 00:03:17,990
I lost the glove I pitched my triple-a no-hitter with.
41
00:03:18,073 --> 00:03:19,575
- What do I do, Al? - What do you do?
42
00:03:19,658 --> 00:03:21,118
What do you do? You play ball.
43
00:03:21,201 --> 00:03:23,077
I got you two guys a fair amount of money to play ball this year,
44
00:03:23,078 --> 00:03:24,958
so that’s what you do, you go out and play ball,
45
00:03:25,039 --> 00:03:27,374
whether you make the Comets’ major league roster
46
00:03:27,458 --> 00:03:29,376
or they send you down to a farm club.
47
00:03:29,460 --> 00:03:33,380
- I heard the Comet fans boo at funerals. - Listen. This swap makes sense.
48
00:03:33,464 --> 00:03:35,382
Mike Warlop is 35 years old.
49
00:03:35,466 --> 00:03:38,510
That shoulder injury he got last season sat him down for a month.
50
00:03:38,594 --> 00:03:42,222
Not since Campy and Newcombe have I seen battery mates like you two guys.
51
00:03:42,306 --> 00:03:45,684
Why don’t you prove it? Show me what you got.
52
00:03:48,854 --> 00:03:50,981
Come on, Charley. Let’s play ball.
53
00:03:59,448 --> 00:04:02,534
It’s gonna be weird seeing Mike Warlop in a Titan uniform this afternoon.
54
00:04:02,618 --> 00:04:03,952
Trading Mike for two guys you never heard of...
55
00:04:03,953 --> 00:04:06,580
nothing lasts forever, I guess.
56
00:04:06,664 --> 00:04:08,582
Damn owner keeps up this youth movement,
57
00:04:08,666 --> 00:04:10,876
I won’t last till Fourth of July fireworks night.
58
00:04:17,383 --> 00:04:20,678
Hey, look. The young guys are out.
59
00:04:22,846 --> 00:04:24,932
Well, well.
60
00:04:25,015 --> 00:04:28,727
Looks like the two guys on the front page of the Scottsdale herald.
61
00:04:33,857 --> 00:04:35,400
Welcome aboard, fellas. I’m Pete Briggs.
62
00:04:35,401 --> 00:04:37,152
Johnny Eaton.
63
00:04:37,236 --> 00:04:39,156
- Hey, Johnny. - Charley Holcombe. I’m a catcher.
64
00:04:39,196 --> 00:04:41,699
K-Kel! You’ve always been griping about
65
00:04:41,782 --> 00:04:43,617
catching both ends of a double-header.
66
00:04:43,701 --> 00:04:47,413
- Well, help’s on the way. - Wake me when it gets here.
67
00:04:47,496 --> 00:04:49,081
Kel has a fear of young catchers
68
00:04:49,164 --> 00:04:51,333
who can squat and get up without help from the umpire.
69
00:04:51,417 --> 00:04:53,857
Come on. I’ll introduce you to the brains of the organization.
70
00:04:53,919 --> 00:04:57,464
- Mr. Randolph, the owner? - No. Harry Dial, the manager.
71
00:04:57,548 --> 00:04:59,550
Harry Dial? Maybe we ought to change first.
72
00:04:59,633 --> 00:05:02,469
Relax, Johnny. Harry’s temper is just eyewash for the press.
73
00:05:02,553 --> 00:05:04,471
Hey, Skip! Look here.
74
00:05:04,555 --> 00:05:07,683
Fresh blood.
75
00:05:07,766 --> 00:05:11,729
With this that publicity hound Randolph expects me to win a pennant?
76
00:05:11,812 --> 00:05:14,314
I must be stupid.
77
00:05:14,398 --> 00:05:17,401
I thought I was gonna set a club record by lasting a full season.
78
00:05:17,484 --> 00:05:19,403
Now you hold on there a second, Sir.
79
00:05:19,486 --> 00:05:22,406
My roomie’s fastball has been clocked at 95 miles an hour.
80
00:05:22,489 --> 00:05:24,450
And the bus that’ll take you two bozos
81
00:05:24,533 --> 00:05:27,036
back to the minors was clocked at 110.
82
00:05:27,119 --> 00:05:30,497
Cover yourselves. Female on premises.
83
00:05:33,751 --> 00:05:35,669
Okay, get it out of your system, fellas.
84
00:05:35,753 --> 00:05:38,338
This is going to be a daily occurrence.
85
00:05:38,422 --> 00:05:42,843
Meet this season’s new TV pregame show hostess.
86
00:05:46,430 --> 00:05:48,807
Let’s see.
87
00:05:48,891 --> 00:05:52,186
Johnny Eaton, 16 and 6 last year with Evanston. Big fastball, so-so curve.
88
00:05:52,269 --> 00:05:54,313
Not bad.
89
00:05:54,396 --> 00:05:56,982
Charley Holcombe, 112 ribbies, 22 homers.
90
00:05:57,066 --> 00:05:59,026
You did your homework, miss Lee.
91
00:05:59,109 --> 00:06:02,988
I called the Titans for your stats, and your hometown papers.
92
00:06:03,072 --> 00:06:05,866
Well, I’d like to talk ribbies with you anytime, ma’am.
93
00:06:05,949 --> 00:06:07,451
Loretta.
94
00:06:11,622 --> 00:06:12,822
Loretta, I’ve told you before,
95
00:06:12,831 --> 00:06:14,671
front-office personnel are not allowed in here.
96
00:06:14,708 --> 00:06:17,294
Aw, Harry.
97
00:06:17,377 --> 00:06:19,337
How’d you like to be my guest on the first TV pregame show
98
00:06:19,338 --> 00:06:20,881
we’re sending back home?
99
00:06:20,964 --> 00:06:23,675
Your guest? Oh, I get it.
100
00:06:23,759 --> 00:06:26,720
Let me give you an education about something, young lady.
101
00:06:26,804 --> 00:06:29,640
Around here, ERA means "earned run average,"
102
00:06:29,723 --> 00:06:31,683
not "equal rights amendment."
103
00:06:31,767 --> 00:06:33,977
Catch up with the world, Harry.
104
00:06:34,061 --> 00:06:37,731
Mr. Randolph’s making changes on the broadcast team and on the field.
105
00:06:37,815 --> 00:06:40,025
Maybe even managerial.
106
00:06:40,109 --> 00:06:42,945
Randolph is old enough to be your father.
107
00:06:43,028 --> 00:06:45,321
At least let him live long enough to dole out our meal money
108
00:06:45,322 --> 00:06:47,032
before you give him a heart attack.
109
00:06:47,116 --> 00:06:49,618
Look, I take myself seriously, Harry.
110
00:06:49,701 --> 00:06:53,539
Maybe you should too.
111
00:06:58,877 --> 00:07:01,213
All right. Good throw.
112
00:07:01,296 --> 00:07:02,505
For you Comet fans, a reminder
113
00:07:02,506 --> 00:07:03,882
that Wednesday is button day.
114
00:07:03,966 --> 00:07:07,386
Your favorite Comets on free buttons with every paid admission.
115
00:07:07,469 --> 00:07:10,764
And Mike Warlop buttons for sale in the parking lot.
116
00:07:10,848 --> 00:07:13,016
No trades accepted.
117
00:07:13,100 --> 00:07:15,144
Get your ice-cold beer here.
118
00:07:21,024 --> 00:07:24,528
Your favorite snacks and Comets t-shirts for sale
119
00:07:24,611 --> 00:07:25,696
at the snack bars.
120
00:07:25,779 --> 00:07:28,282
Go get ’em, Comets fans.
121
00:07:30,826 --> 00:07:33,704
- Jessica, there you are. - Johnny, no. You’re here.
122
00:07:33,787 --> 00:07:36,123
I was already in Scottsdale.
123
00:07:36,206 --> 00:07:40,127
Oh, Johnny, you know, your mother and your family we’re all just delighted.
124
00:07:40,210 --> 00:07:42,880
The paper said this trade could be a big opportunity.
125
00:07:42,963 --> 00:07:46,008
Well, the sportswriters don’t have to play for Harry Dial.
126
00:07:46,091 --> 00:07:48,677
- Oh, who’s Harry Dial? - Hey, Eaton!
127
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,346
Quit jabberin’ and get your butt in gear,
128
00:07:51,430 --> 00:07:55,517
or you and your aunt Minnie’ll owe me six laps around the field.
129
00:07:55,601 --> 00:07:58,896
Maybe we should have dinner later at the hotel?
130
00:07:58,979 --> 00:08:00,606
Yeah.
131
00:08:02,983 --> 00:08:04,985
Get your bats and helmets. Bats and helmets.
132
00:08:05,068 --> 00:08:07,779
- Excuse me. You must be Mrs. Fletcher. - Yes?
133
00:08:07,863 --> 00:08:10,281
Yes. Your nephew told me that we would be sitting together. I’m Al Sidell.
134
00:08:10,282 --> 00:08:12,826
- Oh, how do you do? - How do you do?
135
00:08:12,910 --> 00:08:14,953
You and Rex Stout are the ones that keep me awake
136
00:08:15,037 --> 00:08:16,830
when I travel the minor league motel circuit.
137
00:08:16,914 --> 00:08:19,416
- Very enjoyable company indeed. - Well, thank you.
138
00:08:19,499 --> 00:08:21,710
Uh, are you with the Comets?
139
00:08:21,793 --> 00:08:23,879
Oh, no, no. The hat? No, I just bought that.
140
00:08:23,962 --> 00:08:27,007
See, I used to be a sportswriter, and a couple of years ago
141
00:08:27,090 --> 00:08:30,219
I was doing a magazine piece on life in the minor leagues.
142
00:08:30,302 --> 00:08:32,721
That’s when I discovered your nephew and Charley Holcombe.
143
00:08:32,804 --> 00:08:35,057
Oh, yes, of course.
144
00:08:35,140 --> 00:08:38,769
You’re the man who got Johnny and his catcher their first pro contract.
145
00:08:38,852 --> 00:08:40,896
Well, yeah, if you call a year in Arkansas
146
00:08:40,979 --> 00:08:44,775
for meal and haircut money a pro contract, I’ll go along.
147
00:08:44,858 --> 00:08:47,778
There’s the manager. Have you met him?
148
00:08:47,861 --> 00:08:50,822
Well, he has, uh, spoken to me.
149
00:08:50,906 --> 00:08:53,492
Harry, the question everyone’s asking:
150
00:08:53,575 --> 00:08:55,494
can a triple-a pitcher and an unproven catcher
151
00:08:55,577 --> 00:08:57,788
make up for the loss of a veteran slugger?
152
00:08:57,871 --> 00:09:00,249
Well, you fans back home read my lips.
153
00:09:00,332 --> 00:09:03,168
Come next October, you’ll be dancing in the streets.
154
00:09:03,252 --> 00:09:05,587
We’ll be right back with the starting lineups
155
00:09:05,671 --> 00:09:08,840
after a word from Sugarfoot Radial Tires.
156
00:09:08,924 --> 00:09:12,219
Admit it, Skip. She’s better-looking than the guy we had last season.
157
00:09:12,302 --> 00:09:14,763
Hey, Roz!
158
00:09:14,846 --> 00:09:16,974
Hi, baby! Go get ’em.
159
00:09:19,434 --> 00:09:22,646
That’s Pete Briggs. Lifetime 306 hitter.
160
00:09:22,729 --> 00:09:25,023
308. I’m Roz, Pete’s wife.
161
00:09:25,107 --> 00:09:27,985
Hiya. And this is Kel’s wife, Nancy.
162
00:09:28,068 --> 00:09:30,570
You’re sitting in the family section, Sugar.
163
00:09:30,654 --> 00:09:33,657
Right where I belong. I’m Johnny Eaton’s aunt.
164
00:09:33,740 --> 00:09:35,033
You been down since camp opened?
165
00:09:35,117 --> 00:09:37,244
I have. Some of the boys
166
00:09:37,327 --> 00:09:40,998
need a little help resisting those baseball Annies.
167
00:09:41,081 --> 00:09:43,250
- Baseball Annies, huh? - Yeah.
168
00:09:43,333 --> 00:09:45,836
That’s the women who find ballplayers attractive,
169
00:09:45,919 --> 00:09:48,380
in or out of uniform.
170
00:09:48,463 --> 00:09:52,301
- What I meant... - I know what you meant, Al.
171
00:10:02,769 --> 00:10:05,522
What is that scoreboard flashing?
172
00:10:05,605 --> 00:10:07,899
That’s WP, wild pitch.
173
00:10:14,614 --> 00:10:18,327
- Steam it by. - Come on, Johnny.
174
00:10:42,768 --> 00:10:45,062
Callin’ for that fastball,
175
00:10:45,145 --> 00:10:47,397
it was like the manager or Kel
176
00:10:47,481 --> 00:10:49,601
wanted Johnny to throw the homer to Warlop on purpose.
177
00:10:49,608 --> 00:10:52,944
Maybe to show Johnny up.
178
00:10:55,655 --> 00:10:58,367
Look at ’em over there. Probably laughing at me.
179
00:10:58,450 --> 00:11:02,496
Replaying it ain’t gonna change that pitch.
180
00:11:02,579 --> 00:11:03,871
Look, folks, I’m sorry, but I’m beat.
181
00:11:03,872 --> 00:11:06,625
I got a 20-minute drive back to my motel.
182
00:11:06,708 --> 00:11:08,377
Oh, you’re not staying here?
183
00:11:08,460 --> 00:11:11,755
Mr. Randolph is not responsible for my accommodations.
184
00:11:11,838 --> 00:11:13,840
There’s one good thing about the Cactus Motel.
185
00:11:13,924 --> 00:11:16,760
The maids don’t barge in in the morning to change your sheets.
186
00:11:18,804 --> 00:11:21,640
- Good night, all. - Good night.
187
00:11:26,853 --> 00:11:28,479
Well, it’s three more here with the Titans,
188
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:29,856
then we travel to Yuma.
189
00:11:29,940 --> 00:11:32,567
You makin’ the trip?
190
00:11:32,651 --> 00:11:34,986
I only got here this morning, honey,
191
00:11:35,070 --> 00:11:37,196
and that’s the second time you’ve asked me if I’m going to Yuma.
192
00:11:37,197 --> 00:11:39,449
It’s just hard for me to entertain you, honey.
193
00:11:39,533 --> 00:11:41,827
My mind’s only on making contact at the plate.
194
00:11:45,122 --> 00:11:47,958
So where’d she come from?
195
00:11:50,794 --> 00:11:53,755
You just make sure you make contact at the plate.
196
00:11:53,839 --> 00:11:56,883
Okay, honey? No place else.
197
00:11:56,967 --> 00:11:59,636
Frankly, Loretta, I wasn’t thrilled by your inference
198
00:11:59,719 --> 00:12:02,264
that I got the shaft in the Titans trade.
199
00:12:02,347 --> 00:12:05,308
Well, I’m sorry, Mr. Randolph, but I’m not sure
200
00:12:05,392 --> 00:12:06,893
whether being strapped for cash
201
00:12:06,977 --> 00:12:08,645
or his calling you Mussolini in the papers
202
00:12:08,728 --> 00:12:10,939
are reason enough to unload him.
203
00:12:11,022 --> 00:12:15,444
The man hit ten less homers last year than ever before.
204
00:12:15,527 --> 00:12:18,864
He’s a broken-down plug, Loretta, and I got five mil for him,
205
00:12:18,947 --> 00:12:21,992
plus a couple of fresh, young colts.
206
00:12:22,075 --> 00:12:25,954
Now, why would the Titans want a broken-down plug, hmm?
207
00:12:26,037 --> 00:12:28,707
Or is there something I’m missing?
208
00:12:34,087 --> 00:12:37,966
You weren’t wearing this last year.
209
00:12:38,049 --> 00:12:40,093
You’ve got a choice to make, my dear.
210
00:12:40,177 --> 00:12:43,513
You can go back to peddling mop-up relief pitchers
211
00:12:43,597 --> 00:12:45,515
at sneaker store openings,
212
00:12:45,599 --> 00:12:50,020
or you can enjoy giving the fans the starting lineup.
213
00:12:50,103 --> 00:12:53,690
When I’m a million-a-year network sports anchor,
214
00:12:53,773 --> 00:12:56,943
the fans can get their own starting lineups.
215
00:13:05,452 --> 00:13:07,412
- Hello again. - Oh, hello.
216
00:13:07,496 --> 00:13:09,581
We met outside the clubhouse before today’s game.
217
00:13:09,664 --> 00:13:13,376
Oh, yes, of course. I really like the way you handle your show.
218
00:13:13,460 --> 00:13:15,462
Thank you.
219
00:13:15,545 --> 00:13:18,924
I know this is gonna sound corny, but I really admire you.
220
00:13:19,007 --> 00:13:21,176
- Me? - Well, the hours that you put in
221
00:13:21,259 --> 00:13:25,430
to make it in a man’s world. I put in those hours, too,
222
00:13:25,514 --> 00:13:28,225
even if the things I know about broken-down plugs
223
00:13:28,308 --> 00:13:30,018
and fresh colts can’t be aired,
224
00:13:30,101 --> 00:13:32,020
at least, not right away.
225
00:13:32,103 --> 00:13:35,440
You know, I’m interviewing Johnny and Charley tomorrow,
226
00:13:35,524 --> 00:13:38,068
and I’m just a little confused.
227
00:13:38,151 --> 00:13:40,737
Now, where did they first play together?
228
00:13:40,820 --> 00:13:43,573
Well, I’m-I’m not sure, professionally,
229
00:13:43,657 --> 00:13:46,326
but I can tell you that Johnny was unbeatable
230
00:13:46,409 --> 00:13:49,329
at Herbert Hoover high school in Waterloo, Iowa.
231
00:13:49,412 --> 00:13:52,040
Actually, it’s Charley I’m stuck on.
232
00:13:52,123 --> 00:13:57,462
Oh. Yes, well, he is, uh, bubbling over with boyish charm.
233
00:13:57,546 --> 00:14:01,550
Mrs. Fletcher, baseball isn’t a game about charm.
234
00:14:01,633 --> 00:14:04,719
It’s a game about statistics.
235
00:14:08,765 --> 00:14:11,685
Aha!
236
00:14:11,768 --> 00:14:15,564
- Hey, nice out, cowboy. - Yeah.
237
00:14:15,647 --> 00:14:20,652
Irving, I sure hope your pitchers love me in September as they did today.
238
00:14:20,735 --> 00:14:24,906
Hell of a hit, Mike. You must have swung with your eyes open.
239
00:14:24,990 --> 00:14:26,992
Say, what is this, Loretta?
240
00:14:27,075 --> 00:14:30,495
Suddenly you’re no longer into community relations.
241
00:14:30,579 --> 00:14:32,664
Relations were always your best stat.
242
00:14:37,377 --> 00:14:39,796
Any plans after dinner?
243
00:14:39,879 --> 00:14:42,299
I’m making some calls, Mike. I’m a working girl.
244
00:14:42,382 --> 00:14:44,342
Oh, no argument there.
245
00:14:44,426 --> 00:14:47,596
The lady said no, thank you. Knock it off, Irving.
246
00:14:47,679 --> 00:14:50,432
- I don’t take orders from you anymore. - Hey, big Mike.
247
00:14:50,515 --> 00:14:53,268
A guy with your salary ought to be able
248
00:14:53,351 --> 00:14:55,111
to find some lady in the bar for the evening.
249
00:14:55,186 --> 00:14:57,230
Oh, you mean that all the girls in here
250
00:14:57,314 --> 00:14:59,566
have already been bought.
251
00:15:05,447 --> 00:15:07,532
- Watch out! - Mike.
252
00:15:07,616 --> 00:15:09,618
Somebody call the cops.
253
00:15:11,703 --> 00:15:15,707
Take it easy, Mike. Relax, relax, relax. Relax, Mike.
254
00:15:15,790 --> 00:15:17,751
Please call the police.
255
00:15:17,834 --> 00:15:19,074
You better come with me, ma’am.
256
00:15:19,127 --> 00:15:21,296
He’s killing Mr. Randolph.
257
00:15:21,379 --> 00:15:24,466
From what I hear, that’s not possible. Let’s get out of here.
258
00:15:24,549 --> 00:15:26,676
You feelin’ better now, miss Lee?
259
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,678
A lot better, thank you.
260
00:15:28,762 --> 00:15:32,223
Uh, I don’t suppose that you got a soda handy, do ya?
261
00:15:32,307 --> 00:15:36,019
I sure do. Come on in, big fella.
262
00:15:39,314 --> 00:15:40,857
Anything pretty as you in Arkansas
263
00:15:40,940 --> 00:15:42,733
was usually on the other side of the state line.
264
00:15:42,734 --> 00:15:44,694
You know, Charley,
265
00:15:44,778 --> 00:15:46,988
you have that Lil' Abner routine down pretty good.
266
00:15:47,072 --> 00:15:49,824
But aren’t you a little too young?
267
00:15:49,908 --> 00:15:52,285
Why? How old do you think I am, ma’am?
268
00:15:52,369 --> 00:15:55,330
The Titans’ media guy has you down at 23.
269
00:15:55,413 --> 00:15:59,668
Mm-hmm. Well, Arkansas boys, they grow up kind of fast.
270
00:15:59,751 --> 00:16:02,629
What about you Mississippi boys?
271
00:16:02,712 --> 00:16:08,426
Oh, uh, well, most of the time, Arkansas girls throw them back.
272
00:16:08,510 --> 00:16:10,845
You know, Charley, if I had to guess,
273
00:16:10,929 --> 00:16:15,850
I’d put you at 25 or 26.
274
00:16:15,934 --> 00:16:20,355
I don’t suppose you ever played for a manager named Flip Phillips.
275
00:16:20,438 --> 00:16:23,149
No.
276
00:16:23,233 --> 00:16:25,568
No, I-I never heard of him.
277
00:16:25,652 --> 00:16:28,405
Listen, ma’am, I just remembered. I got 11:00 curfew.
278
00:16:28,488 --> 00:16:30,615
Oh, well, then we have almost two hours.
279
00:16:30,699 --> 00:16:33,618
But I promised Johnny I’d go over the hitters with him.
280
00:16:33,702 --> 00:16:35,161
Excuse me.
281
00:16:39,499 --> 00:16:41,418
Miss Lee?
282
00:16:41,501 --> 00:16:45,088
Miss Lee, the bus is leaving.
283
00:16:45,171 --> 00:16:47,382
Oh, Mrs. Fletcher, I’m looking for Loretta Lee.
284
00:16:47,465 --> 00:16:48,633
So I heard.
285
00:16:48,717 --> 00:16:50,592
We haven’t actually met. My name is Avery Burns.
286
00:16:50,593 --> 00:16:52,721
I’m the team’s traveling secretary.
287
00:16:52,804 --> 00:16:53,722
How do you do?
288
00:16:53,805 --> 00:16:55,725
She was supposed to be downstairs 15 minutes ago.
289
00:16:55,765 --> 00:16:57,141
She’s gonna miss the bus to the field.
290
00:16:57,142 --> 00:16:59,144
I sure hope there’s nothing wrong.
291
00:16:59,227 --> 00:17:02,272
Well, maybe she started down earlier by herself. Or maybe she overslept.
292
00:17:02,355 --> 00:17:04,858
Excuse me, miss. Could you open this door for me, please?
293
00:17:10,405 --> 00:17:12,073
Oh, Lord!
294
00:17:22,417 --> 00:17:23,959
Yeah, I bagged everything.
295
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:25,335
What time did you get here?
296
00:17:25,336 --> 00:17:27,547
I got here about a half hour ago.
297
00:17:27,630 --> 00:17:30,341
- Half hour ago? - Oh, I don’t know. You know how it is.
298
00:17:31,134 --> 00:17:33,303
Mrs. Fletcher?
299
00:17:33,386 --> 00:17:35,972
Did you see anyone enter or leave this room,
300
00:17:36,055 --> 00:17:38,516
or did you hear some kind of a fight?
301
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,269
No, I’m sorry, Lieutenant Caseras.
302
00:17:41,352 --> 00:17:43,855
But miss Lee was alive last night at 9:00,
303
00:17:43,938 --> 00:17:46,441
because I saw her leaving the restaurant.
304
00:17:46,524 --> 00:17:49,486
- Oh? Alone? - With Charley Holcombe.
305
00:17:49,569 --> 00:17:52,030
They were having some sort of row at their table.
306
00:17:52,113 --> 00:17:54,365
Oh! Yeah. Holcombe.
307
00:17:54,449 --> 00:17:57,160
One of those two rookie nobodies in the trade.
308
00:17:57,243 --> 00:18:00,330
One of the players in the trade.
309
00:18:00,413 --> 00:18:04,125
Yeah. I read about the brawl in the morning paper.
310
00:18:04,209 --> 00:18:07,837
Wouldn’t be the first time Warlop and Randolph got into it over some woman.
311
00:18:07,921 --> 00:18:11,049
Lieutenant, the dress that miss Lee was wearing
312
00:18:11,132 --> 00:18:13,134
is the same one that she wore last night.
313
00:18:13,218 --> 00:18:17,305
However, her rather eye-catching necklace is missing.
314
00:18:17,388 --> 00:18:20,600
No kiddin’? Come here a second.
315
00:18:23,269 --> 00:18:26,606
Empty credit card case. Missing necklace. Drawers open.
316
00:18:26,689 --> 00:18:30,902
Looks like she surprised a burglar, there was a fight, and she was killed
317
00:18:30,985 --> 00:18:33,613
when she hit her head on the table here.
318
00:18:33,696 --> 00:18:36,199
Oh. And I’d better alert the credit card company.
319
00:18:38,243 --> 00:18:43,206
Lieutenant, I wonder how this sliver of glass got here.
320
00:18:43,289 --> 00:18:45,041
No. No glass broken during the struggle.
321
00:18:45,124 --> 00:18:47,168
Maid must have missed it with the vacuum.
322
00:18:47,252 --> 00:18:49,921
Could have been there a day, a week.
323
00:18:50,004 --> 00:18:51,256
Maybe not.
324
00:18:51,339 --> 00:18:53,925
Better bag it with the other evidence.
325
00:18:54,008 --> 00:18:55,969
Lieutenant, the lab fella says
326
00:18:56,052 --> 00:18:57,929
he’s got two sets of fingerprints to work with.
327
00:18:58,012 --> 00:19:00,431
Okay. Then let’s wrap it up. Get that, would you?
328
00:19:00,515 --> 00:19:02,809
Why waste electricity?
329
00:19:11,442 --> 00:19:13,987
All right, you guys go downtown, and I’ll hang around...
330
00:19:19,033 --> 00:19:21,703
I’m Lieutenant Caseras.
331
00:19:21,786 --> 00:19:24,956
Look. Murder’s a messy business.
332
00:19:25,039 --> 00:19:29,460
I’m sure a lot of you guys are probably a little uneasy.
333
00:19:29,544 --> 00:19:33,840
First of all, I want you to know that, uh, I’m one of you.
334
00:19:35,925 --> 00:19:40,471
A few years back I played semi-pro ball, flagstaff flames,
335
00:19:40,555 --> 00:19:43,474
until a knee injury forced me to hang ’em up.
336
00:19:43,558 --> 00:19:47,478
So I know what you’re going through.
337
00:19:47,562 --> 00:19:48,729
First you lose a shot at some pennant money
338
00:19:48,730 --> 00:19:52,066
in that so-called trade.
339
00:19:52,150 --> 00:19:55,153
Now this. So...
340
00:19:55,236 --> 00:19:57,864
Charley Holcombe.
341
00:19:57,947 --> 00:19:59,866
Let’s you and me talk, son.
342
00:20:05,246 --> 00:20:07,040
You say you took her to her door last night,
343
00:20:07,123 --> 00:20:09,208
but you didn’t go in her room.
344
00:20:09,292 --> 00:20:12,170
No, Sir. I just met her yesterday.
345
00:20:12,253 --> 00:20:17,216
One of my officers found this matchbook on her coffee table.
346
00:20:17,300 --> 00:20:21,804
That’s from the Tucson plaza.
347
00:20:21,888 --> 00:20:24,974
Three days ago you were in Titan training in Tucson,
348
00:20:25,058 --> 00:20:26,266
and that’s where you stayed, huh?
349
00:20:26,267 --> 00:20:28,186
I-I must have forgot.
350
00:20:28,269 --> 00:20:31,439
I did go in, but just to have a smoke.
351
00:20:31,522 --> 00:20:33,191
Just a smoke.
352
00:20:33,274 --> 00:20:36,527
And maybe, while you were polluting your lungs,
353
00:20:36,611 --> 00:20:38,529
you made a pass, huh?
354
00:20:38,613 --> 00:20:41,908
Things got a little rough when she said no? Huh?
355
00:20:41,991 --> 00:20:45,119
Sure, I tried, but she turned me down.
356
00:20:45,203 --> 00:20:46,621
You want my thinkin’ on it, Sir?
357
00:20:46,704 --> 00:20:48,706
She’s Mr. Randolph’s private reserve.
358
00:20:48,790 --> 00:20:53,211
Course, he’s old enough to be her granddaddy.
359
00:20:53,294 --> 00:20:55,213
Plowboy.
360
00:20:55,296 --> 00:20:58,091
You should have stayed a Titan,
361
00:20:58,174 --> 00:21:01,719
in more ways than one.
362
00:21:01,803 --> 00:21:04,055
But that makes no sense.
363
00:21:04,138 --> 00:21:07,016
I mean, why would the Lieutenant single out Charley?
364
00:21:07,100 --> 00:21:08,476
Because he walked her to her room?
365
00:21:08,559 --> 00:21:11,187
All I can say is, Charley’s real shook up.
366
00:21:11,270 --> 00:21:13,021
Look, I know it’s gonna affect the way he plays,
367
00:21:13,022 --> 00:21:14,816
but that’s not the most important thing.
368
00:21:14,899 --> 00:21:17,110
I mean, this guy’s my buddy, and I’m worried about him.
369
00:21:17,193 --> 00:21:19,153
Well, yes, I can understand that.
370
00:21:19,237 --> 00:21:21,906
Aunt Jess, I know you were gonna fly back tonight,
371
00:21:21,990 --> 00:21:23,949
but the way things are, do you think you could stick around?
372
00:21:23,950 --> 00:21:25,910
Just until we get this thing with Charley settled?
373
00:21:25,994 --> 00:21:29,580
All right. I was planning to come to the game today anyway.
374
00:21:29,664 --> 00:21:32,083
Maybe I’ll stumble across something that will help.
375
00:21:32,166 --> 00:21:33,209
Oh, thanks, aunt Jess.
376
00:21:33,292 --> 00:21:36,254
And with you there today, I know we’re gonna do real well.
377
00:21:36,337 --> 00:21:39,590
And at the end of three, Titans 7, Comets 0.
378
00:21:43,803 --> 00:21:47,306
- Hi. - Oh, hi.
379
00:21:47,390 --> 00:21:50,601
Wow. 7-zip already, huh?
380
00:21:50,685 --> 00:21:53,855
Well, at least Johnny and Charley haven’t caused the damage.
381
00:21:53,938 --> 00:21:55,982
Listen, I just heard about that Loretta Lee death
382
00:21:56,065 --> 00:21:58,276
on my car radio. What’s going on?
383
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,112
- Do they think it’s some kind of a nut? - I wish I knew.
384
00:22:01,195 --> 00:22:02,915
My room was right across the hall from hers,
385
00:22:02,989 --> 00:22:04,699
so the police questioned me,
386
00:22:04,782 --> 00:22:06,701
but I didn’t see or hear anything.
387
00:22:06,784 --> 00:22:09,120
Just goes to show, you gotta be lucky just to be alive.
388
00:22:09,203 --> 00:22:11,204
I had a hell of an auto accident last night right near my motel.
389
00:22:11,205 --> 00:22:13,041
Were you hurt?
390
00:22:13,124 --> 00:22:15,460
No, I’m fine. Just my wallet is gonna need major medical.
391
00:22:15,543 --> 00:22:17,587
I ran right into a telephone pole.
392
00:22:17,670 --> 00:22:19,964
Cop had to come, call a tow truck, get me out of a ditch.
393
00:22:20,048 --> 00:22:25,261
Eaton. Let’s see how you handle a bat.
394
00:22:25,344 --> 00:22:28,347
Now batting for the Comets, Johnny Eaton.
395
00:22:39,776 --> 00:22:42,111
- Hey. - Cover third. Cover third.
396
00:22:45,073 --> 00:22:48,201
What does that mean out there on the scoreboard?
397
00:22:48,284 --> 00:22:50,161
Where?
398
00:22:50,244 --> 00:22:52,872
The letters PB.
399
00:22:52,955 --> 00:22:55,041
Oh, that means passed ball.
400
00:23:00,797 --> 00:23:04,133
You’re out!
401
00:23:04,217 --> 00:23:05,258
Eaton hits into a double play,
402
00:23:05,259 --> 00:23:09,514
doubling up Costego and breaking his bat in the process.
403
00:23:09,597 --> 00:23:12,350
Really sawed it off.
404
00:23:13,976 --> 00:23:16,896
Next up for the Comets, Pete Briggs.
405
00:23:19,273 --> 00:23:22,693
Where’s my bat?
406
00:23:22,777 --> 00:23:24,695
Hey, rookie!
407
00:23:24,779 --> 00:23:28,199
Thanks a lot, man. You used my bat.
408
00:23:28,282 --> 00:23:30,785
What was all that about?
409
00:23:30,868 --> 00:23:32,829
Pitchers don’t use hitters’ bats.
410
00:23:39,127 --> 00:23:42,213
Sorry, man. It’s not like the game counts.
411
00:23:42,296 --> 00:23:44,924
I’ll find another one. It won’t happen again, Sir.
412
00:23:49,303 --> 00:23:51,806
My. That is quite a dent.
413
00:23:51,889 --> 00:23:54,809
Yeah. I couldn’t be satisfied with a rerun of Quincy.
414
00:23:54,892 --> 00:23:56,853
I had to go out for a beer and some conversation.
415
00:23:56,936 --> 00:23:59,814
Johnny, don’t worry about it. Tomorrow is another day.
416
00:23:59,897 --> 00:24:02,066
Yeah, the day I get shipped down to the minors.
417
00:24:02,150 --> 00:24:04,068
What is wrong with me?
418
00:24:04,152 --> 00:24:07,446
I lose my glove. I throw a home-run ball to Mike Warlop.
419
00:24:07,530 --> 00:24:11,033
Today I kill a rally and break Pete’s bat, and now the old soup bone’s sore.
420
00:24:11,117 --> 00:24:12,451
Soup bone?
421
00:24:12,535 --> 00:24:14,871
Yeah, that’s his arm. Did you tell the trainer?
422
00:24:14,954 --> 00:24:16,581
Tell him what, that I’m a Jonah?
423
00:24:16,664 --> 00:24:19,542
Listen. Every athlete has his off day.
424
00:24:19,625 --> 00:24:21,043
You’re no jinx.
425
00:24:21,127 --> 00:24:23,629
No, aunt Jess?
426
00:24:23,713 --> 00:24:27,216
I show up, I say hello to a woman, I shake her hand, and she ends up dead.
427
00:24:27,300 --> 00:24:30,386
Johnny, that’s ridiculous. Look, you’ve worked far too hard
428
00:24:30,469 --> 00:24:33,931
to entrust your future to omens and curses.
429
00:24:34,015 --> 00:24:35,849
Come on. Let’s go get a bite to eat. What do you say?
430
00:24:35,850 --> 00:24:37,560
You go ahead. I don’t feel like eating.
431
00:24:40,188 --> 00:24:43,357
Doesn’t feel like eating? That kid is sick.
432
00:24:47,987 --> 00:24:52,200
Yeah, 9:00 Wednesday, department two. Don’t forget. Write it down.
433
00:24:52,283 --> 00:24:55,119
Okay. Good-bye.
434
00:24:55,203 --> 00:24:58,247
Mrs. Fletcher. Well, well, well. What brings you here?
435
00:24:58,331 --> 00:25:00,166
Well, it’s my nephew Johnny Eaton.
436
00:25:00,249 --> 00:25:03,169
He’s suffering from a terrible feeling of guilt.
437
00:25:03,252 --> 00:25:07,673
Yeah. I can understand how lousy he must feel
438
00:25:07,757 --> 00:25:11,844
killing the Comets’ pennant chances this season.
439
00:25:11,928 --> 00:25:14,805
Lieutenant, I’m not talking about baseball.
440
00:25:14,889 --> 00:25:18,226
He feels responsible for Loretta’s killing.
441
00:25:18,309 --> 00:25:21,187
Oh. Oh!
442
00:25:21,270 --> 00:25:23,481
He feels that he’s brought nothing but bad luck
443
00:25:23,564 --> 00:25:26,192
ever since he put on a Comets uniform.
444
00:25:26,275 --> 00:25:29,320
Yeah. I know.
445
00:25:29,403 --> 00:25:32,782
He should have never used Pete’s bat today.
446
00:25:32,865 --> 00:25:38,037
Look, excuse me, I-I hate to put a damper on this conversation with rationality,
447
00:25:38,120 --> 00:25:42,708
but could we just set baseball aside for just a moment?
448
00:25:42,792 --> 00:25:46,379
Have you found out anything new about miss Lee’s killing?
449
00:25:46,462 --> 00:25:49,423
Well, we lifted two sets of prints from her hotel room.
450
00:25:49,507 --> 00:25:51,717
I guess that’s progress.
451
00:25:51,801 --> 00:25:55,221
One’s hers, we’re still trying to run down the other pair.
452
00:25:55,304 --> 00:25:59,016
And the autopsy report said she was killed around midnight.
453
00:25:59,100 --> 00:26:01,894
Ah. And has the necklace turned up?
454
00:26:01,978 --> 00:26:04,355
No, and you know, that’s a funny thing.
455
00:26:04,438 --> 00:26:07,942
When we alerted the credit card companies that the cards were stolen,
456
00:26:08,025 --> 00:26:10,027
not one had reported any charges
457
00:26:10,111 --> 00:26:13,072
made from the time of the theft to the time we reported it.
458
00:26:13,155 --> 00:26:16,075
- Some bad coffee? - Oh, no, no, no. No, thank you.
459
00:26:16,158 --> 00:26:18,828
Lieutenant, I hope you don’t think that I’m butting in here.
460
00:26:18,911 --> 00:26:20,830
Butt away, ma’am.
461
00:26:20,913 --> 00:26:22,915
Well, it’s about her television set.
462
00:26:22,999 --> 00:26:27,378
It was on this morning, but it was tuned to a pay-movie channel.
463
00:26:27,461 --> 00:26:28,796
Yes, ma’am.
464
00:26:28,879 --> 00:26:32,258
Well, that sort of contradicts your theory.
465
00:26:32,341 --> 00:26:34,760
Well, I mean, to be surprised,
466
00:26:34,844 --> 00:26:36,679
she would have had to have left the room
467
00:26:36,762 --> 00:26:39,140
and then come back and then found the intruder.
468
00:26:39,223 --> 00:26:43,019
Right. And why would she pay for a movie if she’s going out?
469
00:26:43,102 --> 00:26:46,439
Well, what is far more likely is that she was sitting there watching the movie,
470
00:26:46,522 --> 00:26:48,941
somebody came to the door - somebody that she knew -
471
00:26:49,025 --> 00:26:51,444
and so she very willingly let them in.
472
00:26:51,527 --> 00:26:54,030
I’ll call the hotel,
473
00:26:54,113 --> 00:26:56,282
find out what time she put on the pay-movie channel.
474
00:26:56,365 --> 00:26:58,909
There’s just one other thing, Lieutenant.
475
00:26:58,993 --> 00:27:01,537
This morning, I couldn’t help but notice
476
00:27:01,620 --> 00:27:05,166
that you removed a piece of paper from Loretta’s nightstand.
477
00:27:05,249 --> 00:27:08,127
You mean this?
478
00:27:08,210 --> 00:27:11,797
It’s the phone number of a bail bondsman in Mississippi.
479
00:27:11,881 --> 00:27:14,800
His office took a call. He was out.
480
00:27:14,884 --> 00:27:18,637
And whoever it was, left Loretta’s hotel phone number.
481
00:27:18,721 --> 00:27:21,849
When he called back, she was already dead.
482
00:27:21,932 --> 00:27:24,393
He doesn’t know why she called.
483
00:27:24,477 --> 00:27:27,813
And neither do I.
484
00:27:27,897 --> 00:27:29,523
But cheer up.
485
00:27:29,607 --> 00:27:31,150
We’re making progress.
486
00:27:34,987 --> 00:27:37,490
So I’m sittin’ in the press box,
487
00:27:37,573 --> 00:27:39,532
covering the old New York Giants for the old New York Telegram.
488
00:27:39,533 --> 00:27:41,285
It’s the bottom of the ninth.
489
00:27:41,369 --> 00:27:44,663
Bobby Thompson comes up against the Dodgers’ Ralph Branca,
490
00:27:44,747 --> 00:27:46,374
with the pennant on the line.
491
00:27:46,457 --> 00:27:48,333
- Bobby Thompson swings-- - Who’s Bobby Thompson?
492
00:27:48,334 --> 00:27:51,087
"Who’s Bobby Thompson?"
493
00:27:51,170 --> 00:27:53,964
The Giants were once in New York?
494
00:27:54,048 --> 00:27:55,883
I don’t believe you guys.
495
00:27:55,966 --> 00:27:58,219
Excuse me, Harry.
496
00:27:58,302 --> 00:28:01,305
What do you say, Lieutenant? Belly up to the bar. I’ll buy you a drink.
497
00:28:01,389 --> 00:28:03,682
Thanks anyway. I’m on duty.
498
00:28:03,766 --> 00:28:08,062
Look. I have to know the whereabouts of your players last night
499
00:28:08,145 --> 00:28:10,439
around midnight, give or take an hour.
500
00:28:10,523 --> 00:28:13,734
What do I look like, a babysitter? Let me tell you something.
501
00:28:13,818 --> 00:28:17,321
Any of those clowns are not in their room by 11:00, it’s a thousand-dollar fine.
502
00:28:17,405 --> 00:28:19,949
Now, the second time, it’s five grand.
503
00:28:20,032 --> 00:28:21,951
The third time...
504
00:28:22,034 --> 00:28:23,994
well, I figure the broad is really worth it,
505
00:28:24,078 --> 00:28:26,080
and I get to keep the phone number myself.
506
00:28:26,163 --> 00:28:29,792
Well, did you assess any fines last night?
507
00:28:29,875 --> 00:28:33,879
In this quiet burg? I was asleep by 11:00.
508
00:28:33,963 --> 00:28:36,674
If you’re asleep, how you gonna catch anybody?
509
00:28:36,757 --> 00:28:39,385
For what it’s worth, Lieutenant,
510
00:28:39,468 --> 00:28:42,888
- Roz and I went to bed around 11:00. - I can vouch for that.
511
00:28:42,972 --> 00:28:45,599
And like the Skip says, in a town like this,
512
00:28:45,683 --> 00:28:49,311
what are you gonna do that’s worth a thousand-dollar fine?
513
00:28:49,395 --> 00:28:53,357
Especially when your wife’s in town.
514
00:28:53,441 --> 00:28:54,733
Lieutenant?
515
00:29:02,032 --> 00:29:04,994
Excuse me.
516
00:29:05,077 --> 00:29:07,246
Mrs. Fletcher? Thought you might like to know,
517
00:29:07,329 --> 00:29:09,582
you know that second set of prints we were working on?
518
00:29:09,665 --> 00:29:11,876
Well, we found them on a glass.
519
00:29:11,959 --> 00:29:13,794
On that tiny piece that I found on the rug?
520
00:29:13,878 --> 00:29:15,796
No, ma’am. On a drinking glass.
521
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:19,925
With a little help from the FBI computers, we made a match.
522
00:29:20,009 --> 00:29:24,430
Prints belong to a guy who jumped bail in Mississippi
523
00:29:24,513 --> 00:29:26,724
two years ago on an assault charge.
524
00:29:26,807 --> 00:29:28,893
His name is Freddie Masters.
525
00:29:28,976 --> 00:29:32,438
Well, I sure hope you find that guy. I liked that lady.
526
00:29:32,521 --> 00:29:35,024
Oh, we found him.
527
00:29:35,107 --> 00:29:40,237
Masters changed his name, lied about his age, his background.
528
00:29:40,321 --> 00:29:42,239
Nowadays he calls himself Charley Holcombe.
529
00:29:49,413 --> 00:29:52,416
Charley? No, wait a minute. That’s impossible. It’s not Charley.
530
00:29:52,500 --> 00:29:55,794
Loretta found out about your past, son.
531
00:29:55,878 --> 00:30:01,050
On her nightstand she had the number of the bail bondsman you skipped out on.
532
00:30:01,133 --> 00:30:04,428
Would you stand up, please, Mr. Masters?
533
00:30:04,512 --> 00:30:07,139
I’m booking you on suspicion of murder.
534
00:30:12,978 --> 00:30:15,356
I jumped bail, ’cause I was scared.
535
00:30:15,439 --> 00:30:18,901
Ma’am, I never assaulted that woman back in Mississippi.
536
00:30:18,984 --> 00:30:20,945
She picked me out of a lineup by mistake.
537
00:30:21,028 --> 00:30:25,866
But Charley, you did leave your room after curfew last night, didn’t you?
538
00:30:27,368 --> 00:30:32,373
Yes, ma’am. I-I couldn’t go down to the lounge.
539
00:30:32,456 --> 00:30:33,916
I might have got spotted and fined,
540
00:30:33,999 --> 00:30:37,294
so I just drove till I found a little bar.
541
00:30:37,378 --> 00:30:40,714
I gave some girls my autograph, and I had a couple beers.
542
00:30:40,798 --> 00:30:43,259
Well, that’s not a bad alibi, if you can prove it.
543
00:30:43,342 --> 00:30:47,805
Well, sure I can. The name of the place was, uh, Take A Chance Saloon,
544
00:30:47,888 --> 00:30:49,848
or the Last Chance Saloon, something like that.
545
00:30:49,932 --> 00:30:52,685
Hey, I remember somebody I seen there that night.
546
00:30:52,768 --> 00:30:54,311
Maybe I shouldn’t say nothin’.
547
00:30:54,395 --> 00:30:59,191
Charley, you’re facing a murder charge.
548
00:30:59,275 --> 00:31:05,197
He never saw me, you understand. I... Oh, I-I don’t know, ma’am.
549
00:31:05,281 --> 00:31:08,367
You know, if this come out, he could get fined and...
550
00:31:08,450 --> 00:31:12,913
Heck, ma’am, the thing is, is I copied my swing after him.
551
00:31:12,997 --> 00:31:16,208
For heavens sakes, who?
552
00:31:16,292 --> 00:31:18,252
Pete Briggs.
553
00:31:18,335 --> 00:31:20,713
Really?
554
00:31:20,796 --> 00:31:24,174
Well, then he lied at the bar, and his wife backed him up.
555
00:31:24,258 --> 00:31:26,427
You know, there’s another thing.
556
00:31:26,510 --> 00:31:29,888
Just before she was killed, Loretta tried to pump me for information,
557
00:31:29,972 --> 00:31:32,975
and one thing she said I didn’t understand at all.
558
00:31:33,058 --> 00:31:38,522
Something about a-a broken-down plug being traded for two fresh colts.
559
00:31:38,606 --> 00:31:40,899
"Broken-down plug"?
560
00:31:40,983 --> 00:31:44,778
Well, that just means an old veteran who’s hobbled with injuries.
561
00:31:44,862 --> 00:31:47,239
Like Mike Warlop?
562
00:31:47,323 --> 00:31:51,327
Al told me that he missed a whole month last season with a separated shoulder.
563
00:31:51,410 --> 00:31:55,748
Oh, yes, ma’am. Onliest way I can figure it is Mr. Randolph and Mr. Dial,
564
00:31:55,831 --> 00:31:58,792
they-they thought Mike was through, so they dumped him.
565
00:31:58,876 --> 00:32:02,921
I suppose they’d have medical records for something like that.
566
00:32:03,005 --> 00:32:06,300
Oh, yes, ma’am. But why do you ask?
567
00:32:06,383 --> 00:32:08,677
Well, something inside keeps telling me
568
00:32:08,761 --> 00:32:11,597
that this big trade isn’t everything that it’s cracked up to be.
569
00:32:14,433 --> 00:32:16,352
Aunt Jess, would you please?
570
00:32:16,435 --> 00:32:18,228
As soon as Johnny told me about his arm,
571
00:32:18,312 --> 00:32:20,481
I just knew that I had to call his mother.
572
00:32:20,564 --> 00:32:23,901
- How serious is it, doctor? - Well, first of all, it’s just "Doc."
573
00:32:23,984 --> 00:32:27,780
I’m not a doctor, but I know quite a bit about sports and medicine.
574
00:32:27,863 --> 00:32:29,782
Now, you take Johnny here.
575
00:32:29,865 --> 00:32:32,117
He just threw too hard the other day,
576
00:32:32,201 --> 00:32:34,077
so I had the official team doctor take some precautionary x-rays.
577
00:32:34,078 --> 00:32:36,288
Would he be a real MD?
578
00:32:36,372 --> 00:32:39,291
Oh, it’s just that you hear such terrible stories
579
00:32:39,375 --> 00:32:43,170
about overlooked injuries and, uh, misdiagnoses.
580
00:32:43,253 --> 00:32:45,506
Mrs. Fletcher, what we do here is state of the art,
581
00:32:45,589 --> 00:32:47,508
from me up to the team surgeon.
582
00:32:47,591 --> 00:32:50,094
And yes, ma’am, he is a real MD.
583
00:32:50,177 --> 00:32:54,056
Oh, yes, I’m sure. Still and all...
584
00:32:54,139 --> 00:32:58,936
Let me show you something. Come with me, please.
585
00:32:59,019 --> 00:33:02,356
Now, I’ve got some x-rays here of Johnny’s shoulder taken two days ago.
586
00:33:02,439 --> 00:33:05,359
Now, these are all shots of the other team players.
587
00:33:05,442 --> 00:33:08,320
Now, you see right here we’ve got some bone spurs.
588
00:33:08,404 --> 00:33:10,322
This area right here. Can you see that?
589
00:33:10,406 --> 00:33:14,743
Now, that causes inflammation of the bursa sac, which causes bursitis.
590
00:33:14,827 --> 00:33:20,332
Now, I’ll show you some shots of Mike Warlop’s shoulder.
591
00:33:20,416 --> 00:33:23,836
You see this here? It’s separated there.
592
00:33:23,919 --> 00:33:27,339
But on this one it’s healed. See that area there?
593
00:33:27,423 --> 00:33:29,967
Now I’ll show you a picture
594
00:33:30,050 --> 00:33:32,052
of Johnny’s shoulder - a torn rotator cuff -
595
00:33:32,136 --> 00:33:34,680
when he played with the Titans’ farm system some time ago.
596
00:33:34,763 --> 00:33:39,268
Oh, my. So Johnny’s arm follows him from team to team.
597
00:33:39,351 --> 00:33:41,311
Oh, absolutely. No team ever trades for an athlete
598
00:33:41,395 --> 00:33:42,980
without a complete medical history.
599
00:33:43,063 --> 00:33:46,316
Hey, Doc, gimme a shot of cortisone or some ice--
600
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:50,028
Well, if it isn’t aunt Minnie, our visiting Candy Striper.
601
00:33:50,112 --> 00:33:52,239
You know, lady, you hanging around this locker room
602
00:33:52,322 --> 00:33:54,324
isn’t exactly good luck for this ball club.
603
00:33:54,408 --> 00:33:57,035
- Told her that, Skip. - Oh, my.
604
00:33:57,119 --> 00:34:00,956
There’s a very ugly-looking bruise you have on your shoulder, Mr. Dial.
605
00:34:01,039 --> 00:34:05,002
That’s where that Warlop sucker punched me the other night.
606
00:34:05,085 --> 00:34:07,921
Well, he certainly seemed in remarkably good shape
607
00:34:08,005 --> 00:34:11,049
for a man who had a dislocated shoulder last season.
608
00:34:11,133 --> 00:34:13,302
Doc was just showing me the x-rays.
609
00:34:13,385 --> 00:34:16,054
Oh, he was, huh?
610
00:34:16,138 --> 00:34:20,809
Now, look, lady. If you’re so interested in male anatomy,
611
00:34:20,893 --> 00:34:23,061
I can give you a good look at mine...
612
00:34:23,145 --> 00:34:26,982
all of it.
613
00:34:30,778 --> 00:34:33,864
We know the boys fool around once in a while.
614
00:34:33,947 --> 00:34:35,407
No, Charley wasn’t fooling around.
615
00:34:35,491 --> 00:34:37,075
Then how come Loretta Lee is dead?
616
00:34:37,159 --> 00:34:40,287
My husband may have made some mistakes in his life,
617
00:34:40,370 --> 00:34:42,331
but even when he was pokin’ around
618
00:34:42,414 --> 00:34:44,666
where he shouldn’t have been, nobody got hurt.
619
00:34:44,750 --> 00:34:47,336
I’m sorry, Mr. Sidell.
620
00:34:47,419 --> 00:34:51,632
I have no sympathy for Charley Holcombe. Excuse me.
621
00:34:51,715 --> 00:34:54,343
I guess your husband’s real happy right now, right?
622
00:34:54,426 --> 00:34:57,470
Now that his competition’s all locked up, his starter’s job is locked up too, huh?
623
00:34:57,471 --> 00:34:59,765
Kind of looks that way.
624
00:34:59,848 --> 00:35:01,433
Don’t it?
625
00:35:05,145 --> 00:35:07,064
Here you go. Oh, Jessica.
626
00:35:07,147 --> 00:35:08,856
Al, any luck with that attorney friend of yours?
627
00:35:08,857 --> 00:35:11,318
Yeah, he’s gonna see Charley later this afternoon.
628
00:35:11,401 --> 00:35:15,864
Good. Now, Caseras has confronted Pete about being gone the night of the murder,
629
00:35:15,948 --> 00:35:18,575
- but Pete denies it flatly. - Mm-hmm.
630
00:35:18,659 --> 00:35:22,871
So now the Lieutenant is even more convinced that Charley is lying.
631
00:35:22,955 --> 00:35:25,332
And if it comes to a jury deciding between Pete and Charley,
632
00:35:25,415 --> 00:35:29,127
Charley’s gonna be catching at the state pen.
633
00:35:29,211 --> 00:35:32,714
All this business about the trade and Mike Warlop’s injury,
634
00:35:32,798 --> 00:35:38,053
it just doesn’t smell right to me. Doc Evans showed me Mike’s medical file.
635
00:35:38,136 --> 00:35:40,097
I noticed something unusual.
636
00:35:40,180 --> 00:35:44,059
All of the Comets’ x-rays have the same lab color code,
637
00:35:44,142 --> 00:35:47,855
except for Mike’s separated shoulder X-Ray.
638
00:35:47,938 --> 00:35:50,190
Now, that seemed odd to me, so I called the lab.
639
00:35:50,274 --> 00:35:54,736
They have absolutely no record of having developed any of Mike’s x-rays.
640
00:35:54,820 --> 00:35:58,156
Faked x-rays to make a player look healthy for trade or sale bait.
641
00:35:58,240 --> 00:36:01,285
I mean, supposing Loretta found out about that?
642
00:36:01,368 --> 00:36:04,329
Supposing Loretta was going to tell the Titans.
643
00:36:04,413 --> 00:36:06,874
Supposing Loretta was trying to blackmail Randolph,
644
00:36:06,957 --> 00:36:08,917
and supposing that’s why she was killed.
645
00:36:09,001 --> 00:36:11,336
That’s beautiful, Jessica.
646
00:36:11,420 --> 00:36:13,839
Well, we’d better not celebrate until we have some proof.
647
00:36:13,922 --> 00:36:15,841
We’re gonna need help on that,
648
00:36:15,924 --> 00:36:18,218
- official help. - Okay.
649
00:36:20,095 --> 00:36:23,223
"Shultz." "Lopez." "Tipton."
650
00:36:23,307 --> 00:36:26,685
- It’s the one of Mike Warlop. - You think I don’t know that?
651
00:36:26,768 --> 00:36:32,274
Mrs. Fletcher, I don’t know what you saw, or what you thought you saw.
652
00:36:32,357 --> 00:36:36,028
But do you know how many x-rays of Mike Warlop we have in here?
653
00:36:36,111 --> 00:36:37,487
Zilch-o.
654
00:36:37,571 --> 00:36:40,365
But they were there.
655
00:36:40,449 --> 00:36:42,492
Who left the damn lights on?
656
00:36:45,954 --> 00:36:51,084
Lieutenant? What... What the hell’s goin’ on here?
657
00:36:51,168 --> 00:36:53,879
I’m checking out a lead, Sir.
658
00:36:53,962 --> 00:36:56,882
Uh, don’t worry. I have a warrant.
659
00:36:56,965 --> 00:37:00,052
Maybe you can help me. Where are Mike Warlop’s x-rays?
660
00:37:00,135 --> 00:37:02,137
X-rays?
661
00:37:02,220 --> 00:37:04,389
How should I know? That’s Doc Evans’s department.
662
00:37:04,473 --> 00:37:06,266
Well, I’m sorry, perhaps I misunderstood,
663
00:37:06,350 --> 00:37:07,809
but I thought everything from trades
664
00:37:07,893 --> 00:37:09,603
to turning lights off was your department.
665
00:37:09,686 --> 00:37:15,317
We think maybe those x-rays were faked, and Loretta knew it.
666
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:16,720
You see what I’m driving at, Sir?
667
00:37:16,735 --> 00:37:18,946
- If she even-- - All right, all right.
668
00:37:19,029 --> 00:37:20,948
I don’t need an instant replay.
669
00:37:24,284 --> 00:37:26,662
You’re right, Lieutenant. I made a tragic mistake.
670
00:37:26,745 --> 00:37:28,538
I never should have let it happen.
671
00:37:34,044 --> 00:37:38,256
I ordered Doc to destroy those X-Rays this afternoon,
672
00:37:38,340 --> 00:37:41,009
after Harry Dial told me that Mrs. Fletcher here
673
00:37:41,093 --> 00:37:46,306
was starting to poke around. The Titans wanted Warlop badly.
674
00:37:46,390 --> 00:37:50,310
They were willing to pay five million, plus a couple of their top prospects.
675
00:37:50,394 --> 00:37:54,648
But believe me, I didn’t cheat anybody. I not only showed them the x-rays,
676
00:37:54,731 --> 00:37:56,775
I told them that they were faked.
677
00:38:03,615 --> 00:38:08,245
That month that Warlop missed last season, there was nothing wrong with his shoulder.
678
00:38:11,164 --> 00:38:13,125
He came to my office
679
00:38:13,208 --> 00:38:17,337
and told me that he was having a serious problem with alcohol.
680
00:38:17,421 --> 00:38:19,881
So I arranged for a month’s treatment at a private hospital
681
00:38:19,965 --> 00:38:21,299
under an assumed name,
682
00:38:21,383 --> 00:38:25,137
and I gave the press and the public the shoulder story.
683
00:38:25,220 --> 00:38:26,762
So when the Titans asked to see his x-rays,
684
00:38:26,763 --> 00:38:29,224
you were forced to reveal his drinking problem?
685
00:38:29,307 --> 00:38:31,267
- Right. - I’ve heard of collusion in sports before,
686
00:38:31,268 --> 00:38:33,645
but this guy takes the cake.
687
00:38:33,729 --> 00:38:37,399
Warlop’s probably got a couple of good years left.
688
00:38:37,482 --> 00:38:41,111
He’s also got a wife and two kids.
689
00:38:41,194 --> 00:38:44,823
I-I know he can be a royal pain,
690
00:38:44,906 --> 00:38:48,702
but he needed a friend, and I thought I owed him.
691
00:38:53,081 --> 00:38:56,168
I thought her scoop was about Charley.
692
00:38:56,251 --> 00:38:58,795
Him, we’ve already got behind bars.
693
00:38:58,879 --> 00:39:00,630
Yes, but Lieutenant, you said
694
00:39:00,714 --> 00:39:03,467
that Charley was at the bar the night that she was killed.
695
00:39:03,550 --> 00:39:06,887
Sure, but nobody remembers exactly when.
696
00:39:06,970 --> 00:39:09,473
He could have shown up after he killed Loretta.
697
00:39:09,556 --> 00:39:13,268
- Lieutenant? - Hey. What do you say, Pete?
698
00:39:13,351 --> 00:39:16,605
Your office told us where we could find you.
699
00:39:20,275 --> 00:39:23,028
Look, uh, about the other night.
700
00:39:23,111 --> 00:39:26,073
What Mrs. Fletcher said is right-- I mean, what Charley told her.
701
00:39:26,156 --> 00:39:28,950
I did leave the hotel that night at around 11:00.
702
00:39:29,034 --> 00:39:31,369
- And did you see Charley? - No, ma’am.
703
00:39:31,453 --> 00:39:34,164
But if he saw me, doesn’t that count for something?
704
00:39:34,247 --> 00:39:38,585
We don’t want Charley to be in jail if our covering up is responsible.
705
00:39:38,668 --> 00:39:40,962
Covering up? For what?
706
00:39:41,046 --> 00:39:43,465
Where’d you go that night, Pete?
707
00:39:49,137 --> 00:39:51,014
It’s okay, honey. Go ahead and tell him.
708
00:39:55,477 --> 00:39:57,646
I had this guy flown in from out of town.
709
00:39:57,729 --> 00:39:59,397
He was staying in another hotel.
710
00:39:59,481 --> 00:40:01,483
"Guy"? What guy?
711
00:40:01,566 --> 00:40:03,610
A hypnotist.
712
00:40:03,693 --> 00:40:07,072
He was helping me concentrate, focusing my batting.
713
00:40:07,155 --> 00:40:10,450
- I ended up last year in a slump. - Yeah, I remember.
714
00:40:10,534 --> 00:40:12,160
Lieutenant, there’s no reason the press
715
00:40:12,244 --> 00:40:14,496
needs to know anything about this.
716
00:40:14,579 --> 00:40:17,457
Mrs. Briggs, I think it’s admirable,
717
00:40:17,541 --> 00:40:19,251
the way you back up your husband.
718
00:40:19,334 --> 00:40:24,005
However, there’s one question that has to be asked.
719
00:40:24,089 --> 00:40:26,591
While Pete was out of the room,
720
00:40:26,675 --> 00:40:30,178
who can verify your whereabouts?
721
00:40:30,262 --> 00:40:32,180
I didn’t kill her.
722
00:40:32,264 --> 00:40:35,725
I’m sure you didn’t, any more than Charley Holcombe did.
723
00:40:44,901 --> 00:40:47,320
Bellman, take it easy, huh? This isn’t a race.
724
00:40:47,404 --> 00:40:49,447
I’m sorry, Sir. That turn came up kind of sudden.
725
00:40:49,531 --> 00:40:51,491
As a matter of fact,
726
00:40:51,575 --> 00:40:53,742
that’s the place where your friend had his accident, ma’am.
727
00:40:53,743 --> 00:40:55,954
- Mr. Sidell. - Oh, yes. Yes.
728
00:40:56,037 --> 00:40:57,497
Al told me about that.
729
00:40:57,581 --> 00:40:59,791
Yeah, I’m the guy that found him in the ditch.
730
00:40:59,875 --> 00:41:02,544
He seemed like a real nice guy. I hated giving him a ticket.
731
00:41:02,627 --> 00:41:06,089
When a guy drinks and drives, a ticket isn’t half enough.
732
00:41:06,173 --> 00:41:07,923
He wasn’t drunk, Sir. At least, I don’t think so.
733
00:41:07,924 --> 00:41:09,634
His license said
734
00:41:09,718 --> 00:41:11,878
he was supposed to be wearing glasses behind the wheel.
735
00:41:11,928 --> 00:41:17,642
Not only wasn’t he wearing them, he didn’t even have them with him.
736
00:41:17,726 --> 00:41:20,979
- Oh, dear. - Something wrong, ma’am?
737
00:41:21,062 --> 00:41:23,982
Yes, something is terribly wrong, Lieutenant.
738
00:41:24,065 --> 00:41:26,443
Tell me, is your forensic lab open
739
00:41:26,526 --> 00:41:29,571
at this hour of the night, and if not, could we open it?
740
00:41:51,134 --> 00:41:52,494
Excuse me. Is Johnny still inside?
741
00:41:52,552 --> 00:41:54,763
Sure. Why don’t you go right on in?
742
00:41:54,846 --> 00:41:58,016
Whether they’re dressed or not never stopped you before, aunt Minnie.
743
00:41:58,099 --> 00:42:00,602
- My name is Jessica. - Yeah, whatever.
744
00:42:00,685 --> 00:42:04,147
By tomorrow morning, you’ll probably have my job. Somebody will.
745
00:42:04,231 --> 00:42:05,315
Doc.
746
00:42:08,818 --> 00:42:11,363
- Johnny? - Oh, hi, aunt Jess.
747
00:42:11,446 --> 00:42:14,324
I’ve got a little surprise for you.
748
00:42:19,329 --> 00:42:22,332
My lucky glove! Oh, my gosh. Where’d you find it?
749
00:42:22,415 --> 00:42:27,379
Well, you can thank a sharp-eyed housekeeper at the Tucson plaza.
750
00:42:27,462 --> 00:42:30,632
- Mrs. Fletcher? - In here, Lieutenant.
751
00:42:30,715 --> 00:42:33,718
Johnny, if you hurry, you can grab the bus before it leaves.
752
00:42:33,802 --> 00:42:37,180
- I’ll help you with your stuff, kid. - Suppose you stay, Mr. Sidell.
753
00:42:37,264 --> 00:42:40,684
I got a couple questions I wanna ask you.
754
00:42:40,767 --> 00:42:42,936
- Sure, yeah. - I can wait, Al.
755
00:42:43,019 --> 00:42:46,106
No, no. Go ahead, kid. I’ll catch up with you later.
756
00:42:46,189 --> 00:42:51,695
- Okay. Thanks again, aunt Jess. - Good-bye, John.
757
00:42:52,654 --> 00:42:54,823
So what can I do for you, Lieutenant?
758
00:42:54,906 --> 00:42:58,118
You can start by telling me where you were when Loretta Lee was killed.
759
00:42:58,201 --> 00:43:00,578
I think I was in a ditch with my car.
760
00:43:00,662 --> 00:43:02,956
I had a little accident, your own man wrote up the ticket.
761
00:43:03,039 --> 00:43:06,001
I told you, right? Jessica? I mean, I told you about that. Remember?
762
00:43:06,084 --> 00:43:08,336
Yes, Al, I remember.
763
00:43:08,420 --> 00:43:11,089
The woman was killed between 11:00 and 11:45.
764
00:43:11,172 --> 00:43:13,550
There was plenty of time for you to have killed her
765
00:43:13,633 --> 00:43:15,760
and still reach that dangerous curve
766
00:43:15,844 --> 00:43:18,179
where the officer found you and your wrecked car.
767
00:43:18,263 --> 00:43:20,682
What, are you nuts? Geez.
768
00:43:20,765 --> 00:43:25,770
What do you think? I would, uh...
769
00:43:28,315 --> 00:43:31,026
That I would stage a crash so I could get an alibi?
770
00:43:31,109 --> 00:43:35,989
Al, you were given a ticket because you weren’t wearing your glasses.
771
00:43:36,072 --> 00:43:37,907
In fact, you didn’t even have them with you.
772
00:43:37,991 --> 00:43:40,327
Yeah, well, who’s trying to hide that?
773
00:43:40,410 --> 00:43:43,997
I’ll tell you what. I’ll pay the fine. I’m guilty as charged. Who do I pay?
774
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:47,208
Well, that’s not the point, and I think you know it.
775
00:43:47,292 --> 00:43:51,004
Do you remember, Al, when you and I attended the first Comets game,
776
00:43:51,087 --> 00:43:55,383
and I asked you to translate that scoreboard way out on the field?
777
00:43:55,467 --> 00:43:57,427
Now, you did that without any difficulty.
778
00:43:57,510 --> 00:44:01,348
But the second Comets game - the day after Loretta was killed -
779
00:44:01,431 --> 00:44:04,351
you couldn’t read the scoreboard.
780
00:44:04,434 --> 00:44:06,728
Now, I could be wrong, but my guess is
781
00:44:06,811 --> 00:44:11,983
that you brought your reading glasses to the second Comet game.
782
00:44:12,067 --> 00:44:14,361
Jessica, these are the only glasses I got.
783
00:44:14,444 --> 00:44:17,030
- It’s the only pair I got. - They are now.
784
00:44:17,113 --> 00:44:21,993
Our lab analyzed a small piece of glass Mrs. Fletcher found in the victim’s room,
785
00:44:22,077 --> 00:44:24,079
prescription glass.
786
00:44:24,162 --> 00:44:26,122
Yours, Al.
787
00:44:26,206 --> 00:44:29,751
We checked out local lens makers.
788
00:44:29,834 --> 00:44:34,923
We came up with a one-day optician on Las Cruces avenue.
789
00:44:36,716 --> 00:44:40,512
He gave us your description, "Mr. Smith."
790
00:44:43,431 --> 00:44:47,143
Shall we ride you over there now for a positive ID?
791
00:45:03,159 --> 00:45:06,162
I thought I’d picked up all the pieces of glass.
792
00:45:08,289 --> 00:45:10,250
You gotta believe me, the both of you.
793
00:45:10,333 --> 00:45:13,294
Killing that woman was the furthest thing from my mind.
794
00:45:17,048 --> 00:45:20,969
I was in my motel room around 10:30 when Loretta phoned.
795
00:45:21,052 --> 00:45:23,805
She asked me if Freddie Masters was in my room.
796
00:45:23,888 --> 00:45:25,348
She said he wasn’t at the inn,
797
00:45:25,432 --> 00:45:27,016
and she knew that he was my client,
798
00:45:27,100 --> 00:45:29,227
and I said I didn’t know any Freddie Masters.
799
00:45:29,310 --> 00:45:33,022
And she said she wanted me to corroborate some evidence that she had that proved
800
00:45:33,106 --> 00:45:35,733
that Charley Holcombe and Freddie Masters were the same person,
801
00:45:35,817 --> 00:45:38,736
and Freddie Masters was a known bail jumper.
802
00:45:38,820 --> 00:45:41,448
I said I would come right over
803
00:45:41,531 --> 00:45:45,785
and prove just how wrong she was.
804
00:45:45,869 --> 00:45:47,912
But when I got there,
805
00:45:47,996 --> 00:45:50,498
she said she had a friend who was no longer an active player
806
00:45:50,582 --> 00:45:54,836
who had played in rookie league with Charley, and he swore
807
00:45:54,919 --> 00:45:57,338
that Charley and Freddie were the same person.
808
00:45:57,422 --> 00:45:59,382
She was some piece of work, that woman.
809
00:45:59,466 --> 00:46:03,428
She said that her going public with it,
810
00:46:03,511 --> 00:46:07,182
it wouldn’t hurt my career or Charley’s career.
811
00:46:07,265 --> 00:46:09,350
She thought it would just help her career.
812
00:46:09,434 --> 00:46:11,853
She thought she might go to the networks,
813
00:46:11,936 --> 00:46:13,855
or even go to the commissioner.
814
00:46:13,938 --> 00:46:17,400
She went to the phone, and I guess I went nuts. I don’t know.
815
00:46:25,950 --> 00:46:28,286
And, uh...
816
00:46:28,369 --> 00:46:30,997
I picked up my glasses,
817
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:35,877
and I tried to make it look like a robbery.
818
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:38,421
And, uh, I drove back to the motel.
819
00:46:38,505 --> 00:46:43,176
I was blind as a bat without the glasses.
820
00:46:43,259 --> 00:46:47,055
Funny thing is, I almost made it.
821
00:46:47,138 --> 00:46:49,058
This is the first time I’ve ever been in trouble.
822
00:46:49,140 --> 00:46:50,934
I never even had a parking ticket.
823
00:46:51,017 --> 00:46:53,895
That was the first time I ever had any trouble with the police.
