thing watching it

there you still do that as though you

mean it what are you doing you're

supposed to be the Alpha I won't say

busted and two innocent bystanders you

lurking again do only doing business

sighs I got some heavy news Mike

I told Nikki I'd pick you up so we can

kick it around on the way home four out

of six huh

I can hear it I can get it Mike did I

make a suggestion

else guys you've been spending a lot of

time at the pistol range I drop in once

a while you don't expect ever to handle

- a gun again do you okay okay what's the - heavy news hour of burglary problems

That Bell Gardens took a decided turn

for the worst last night oh it's at

number 11 if and this time a man got

shot and killed who was it

the tenon interrupting the burglar wife

came running out of the bedroom just in

time to see the front door slams shut

1:00 o'clock sharp with souffle if you

and mr. Page don't rattle a house down I

guess better talk outside Duke come on

max lie down who do you want me to

invite to your funeral you know Duke you

have a tendency to overdramatize

anyone ever told you that if they shot

one man baby they won't hesitate to

shoot another one

Oh Duke he saw them otherwise why would

they have killed him and not his wife no

one's gonna shoot me

now mrs. K uh there will be staying for

lunch if you had taken the time to

examine the table you'd see I already

prepared for four thank you mrs. J now

she gets snip here every day don't blame

her you go around acting like you don't

want anybody to feel sorry quick no I

don't want him to persecute me anyway

good god this little caper I have in

mind first thing I have to do is find us

an apartment what do you mean I see

- Nicki and me as man and wife and I mean - rich man and wife to to invite the

Tenants over we throw some parties

supplying with caviar dip champagne show

off Nagy's jewelry

Nicki doesn't have any do I have to

borrow some of the most expensive you

can find to need clothes Duke the best

and furniture

how about Louise the 15th no

contemporary I'll do it Oh and yes we

need a car something something really

classy see that way where it gets out

burglars in our apartment you rack em up

Mike I would like to point out to you

- that my company is essentially a very - conservative firm now your scheme could

Cost us more than some of the claims

claims are already over $300,000 correct

yeah yeah I know

- and you're only asking for 20 grand is - from money 25 that's assuming of course

That you can borrow most the things

we'll need I see you found my key yes

I'm beginning to think I shouldn't

well you at home in the range today now

getting deadlier by the week oh I got

some more mums in his alias for the

south side of the courtyard oh just in

time for the ceremony

hmm I

if you got miss something your wedding

I'd always plan to you against my agent

Iggy I have enough problems this one's

strictly business

you serious aren't you

that's right I'll go see if lunch is

ready so what else is new

yes you'll do it just start pulling

everything together we've checked every

domestic every tradesman every gardener

yeah it boils down to this there's a

clever gang operating at Bell Gardens

somebody who lives there one of the

tenants has to be calling the shots and

the only way we're going to nail that

somebody is from the inside house it

looked like a monument to waste waste

they gave this is probably the most

beautifully planned suburban unit in the

parish everything anybody could ever

ones right here isn't that a pity

you don't like this things might just a

lot of beautiful things make that Edgar

will you before and you ready

once they pop on that and during that

- night here to make friends establish - ourselves Bell Gardens okay there's the

Borrow their kitchen bedrooms and

Terrace you can't see the lake from here

but you can feel it you're the sounds

show off how many times have you been

here twice but it was empty what's

French away mmm

disgustingly ostentatious alright Nicky

was for plane oh we're here uh at ten

o'clock we have a table and chairs two

o'clock we have a chair table chair at

four o'clock a glass coffee table and at

five o'clock a couch okay I think I've

got it alright Nicky a drink there are

mutual hell's happiness and enough money

live in the style to which were rapidly

becoming a customer I'll get it oh that

isn't Patchett we old scotch dude I

always had the glasses

oops without ice know something in

English I've been getting away with that

for century okay take this one

no fun playing house among other things

everyone thinks I'm making a great

comeback Nikki what do you think back

from where have you been gone

I know at least I think I know how it

must be for you um a terrible sense of

incompleteness you keep listening to

some message that never comes searching

for something you feel you've forgotten

sorta hey what shall we drink to do

hunks of cheese in a rat trap that's

what they call drug therapy what you do

is you sit around in a circle and you

lie to each other he said you can apply

a used rules

I said pal buying a used rolls of like

buying a use pyramid actually talking a

little for private fooling around was

fine but when you start firing at me

this is to prove your manhood

mr. vows not Lydia it's a lovely party

thank you and so glad you could come

so you can get four who know thank you

my dear I'm quite all right please see

to your other guests excuse me hey

what's a nice girl like you doing in a

crowded place like this trying to

distinguish friend from foe twelve help

I'm a friend

I'll get your wife over there is no mr.

Courtney terribly personal question mr.

Elliott and if I didn't feel that we

were simpatico

I wouldn't dream of asking it are you

sure you won't mind or what do you mean

the question are you're asking I'm dying

to know so here goes how does a blind

man relate sexually relate to home you

know how does he make love

with the utmost discrimination

hmm you all right oh yeah sure I'm just

just trying to sort out everybody names

voices and how many times were you

propositioned how many husbands did we

invite all right let's say I see what

we've got

hmm hangover and I haven't even gone to

bed yet most of the tenants we're in and

out of here so chances are we were

entertaining our people tonight you had

to pick up anything uh chance remark

whispered somebody's hand in your purse

the only hands I ran into Herbert

Courtney's he wanted to take me away

from all this to the movies well that

sounds innocent enough not the kind of

movies he had in mind how about you I

have a whole series of impressions such

as well so I guess we're out too loud

some some sounded unhappy some too

cheerful

I got the feeling a lot of people are

struggling very hard to afford to live

here

Harry Benson Ben Brooks the Hazelton is

the Courtney's no it's funny how the

women would look at my ring before they

look at me well let's just hope the

- right woman or the right man spotted it - oh no it's probably good old Syd

Benbrook back here to finish off the

Bourbon or mrs. bender back to finish

you hi can I use your phone attends yeah

sure won't stay in the apartment under

Section what's wrong burgers they

cleaned us out

did you find it I'm sorry honey

it's gone why am i free Burghley boy

said I didn't touch the costume stuff

just zeroed in on the expensive items

key burglar no forcible entry just

unlocked the door and walked in thank

you no ma'am I'm with a homicide

division working on the du Vallon murder

how do you think there's any connection

we're going on the theory the devel was

killed by the same people who've been

pulling these burglaries it's for you a

tenant scuse me

you know in a way I I feel responsible

if it hadn't been for our party none of

this might have happened

none of we'd have been home they might

- have come in anyway maybe even murder - disliked mr. de bal anyway I'm sure it's

Only money Oh

Tom I don't know how you can say that

you know that Emeril can't possibly be

- replaced mr. Eliot who had access to - your guest list well knowing it just

Sort of an impromptu bash an open house

we we decided we'd meet all our

neighbors in one fell swoop and invited

anybody wanted to come standing room

only some of our guests didn't even know

each other till they met here tonight

it's one of the sad things about this

- high-rise apartment lifestyle is it safe - for us to go back to the apartment well

They're gonna come back for my shaving

cream I think your husband just said it

all missus Hazleton mr. Elia can I see

you for a minute sure

glad you're into it Hank

I'm not very far into it not yet anyway

nice pad you got look actually pop for

that seed money as we better for setup

like that but you know our budget so

we'll do the footwork you drink the

champagne

how'd the party go oh good the tenants

had a chance to see how loaded we are

and everything passed out are done in

Bradstreet I think I neither know more

about their backgrounds financial status

- Oh we'll get you everything we have any - loans boats boats mm-hmm you think

That's why another step turned up

locally and I could be the easel tune

- robbery tonight same MO as the others - yeah in first out fast like they know

Exactly when to come and what to look

for I hear you've been at the police

range shooting oh yeah yeah I got a

little rusty so I figured I might don't

try it try what if they walk into your

apartment don't figure you're wider I

always thought to myself boys doc

holliday lady you too

oh you too huh

a hairy bedroom well it's pretty good

only at Sydney that's right that's right

it's Harry Benson Sydney benbrook your

husband's got a good memory mr. zeliha

and that's why I never lied to him you

insured with this outfit no no no we're

just looking into it all those

burglaries you know forward oh wow

thanks for the other night

great party we'll do it again

I've been drug check out he's got

partner trouble his business could go

into receivership then we would keep him

on the list huh

yep I know I am okay

incidentally he pointed the finger at

you too poor Sydney he makes such

desperate little noises I assured him

we're checking on everybody including

the Elliotts at you hey I don't know

everybody else in this caper is

something different than he seems to be

wow these people that don't Gardens they

put up quite a front you walk around

behind it there's a lot of very laundry

to shoot okay right away we can knock

off 12 couples why all the people have

been wronged plus mrs. du Val hang she

could have said her husband up sometimes

you have to go on gut instinct I think

she loved a guy but since thank you

doesn't believe anybody anyway we gained

effects on our estate

thank you think we can overlook the

people who've been burglarized think

somebody's set themselves up to throw us

off as possible but for the time being

we're concentrating on the people who

haven't been hit nothing comes up okay

we'll double back now you talk about gut

instinct tell-tale hairs in the back of

my neck go up every time I think about

that Courtney's mine too there's

something about the sound of his voice

folks I got a few thousand claims he had

to eat my attention I got to get back to

work

let's go over this list shall we you two

specialists in divide out the live ones

Mike why don't you start with the

- Courtney's since the back of your neck - keeps bugging you

Which anniversary is this supposed to be

oh how about a fifth I don't think we

have like five years married how would

you know let's say I have a keen sense

of observation incidentally Dukes are

really making nasty remarks about our

expense accounts that don't buy out the

shop William I don't care that much

about clothes frankly I'd prefer it if

nobody wore anything here we are caught

in a world of perfect complicity where

everybody agrees to deceive each other

what is the most primary of deceptions

- Mike Edgar Edgar Edgar don't forget it - closed now the main thing it's size up

The Courtney's according to Hank the

shops in her name and mortgaged to the

hilt

it must be frightfully expensive it is

I'm sure we can work on something a sort

of a good neighbor policy a birth well I

must say she looks just exquisite Oh

Edgar darling this would go beautifully

for Deauville and July let's just hope

it's not too dear darling Elliot you're

- a card anyone can see you're not exactly - on welfare it's not that we don't have

The money it's just that I uh I like to

get to know it better before I say

goodbye to it I do we have an

appointment the jewelers don't know her

you better start making up your mind a

new wardrobe and you it's our

anniversary the fifth so no chiffon I

still can't tell a difference I think

you do remarkably well dear we've got to

go

Oh which one you like I can't make up my

mind I go I think you better take them

all oh darling thank you well how goes

it

Oh great great listen I uh I want to

thank you for all the attention

Albert Duke now is a real fly-by-night

er one wild business scheme after

another that was moved in here a few

months ago about the same time the

robbers started their apartment goes for

800 bucks a month it could have been the

inside man then why can't I maybe ask

for bigger cut so they took him out and

mrs. Duvall knew he was involved is that

what you think that nice lady yeah never

here mark Barger Mike

maybe the murder had nothing to do with

the burglaries well in that case we're

short one good motive

good evening Sydney got it right this

time

yeah you always travel with champagne

helps the fell over the rough spots you

know we're having dinner with mrs.

Dubrow Oh mister mrs. Elliot this is Bob

Houston that's mechanic on the lake as a

matter of fact he takes care of most of

the boats for us weekend sailors do you

have a boat mr. alien he's been thinking

about it haven't you darling the only

problem is he thinks anything less than

300 feet is a dinghy oh really I don't

understand mr. Houston like to talk to

you about that boat sometime sure thing

it's our benbrook owns our boat we'll

have a complete list of the boat owners

tomorrow of course you don't have to own

a boat to use one it could be anyone

yeah listen Nicky about that's 300 lore

I'd be happy with a 35-foot not yet girl

yet I loved a beautiful diamond bracelet

with baguette cut stones and a sunburst

of rubies and pear-shaped diamonds I'm

so happy for you dear and they're going

to deliver it on Thursday

exactly at noon do I hear you ask why

exactly at noon but now my tie has it a

wild guess it couldn't be that you were

married exactly in high noon on that

same day

Edgar's idea my husband's a dedicated

romantic Lord knows there are too few of

them around these days Albert was like

that

I remember one anniversary would it was

a 6 or 7 5 think we were frightfully

poor he came home a little later than

usual he handed me a small package

beautifully wrapped it was a pearl

choker it cost him $400

you must miss him very much inside do

are the police making any progress with

their investigation currently not those

robbers made such a mistake

we had nothing here worth stealing mrs.

Devoured them you see anything that

night and I was here on the terrace

became home early

Albert's ulcer there wasn't anything man

walking his dog car passing and I

remember feeling Oh intend to say

I said what kind of a car yeah listen to

anything unusual about it just one of

the apartment developments private

Patrol

oh I'm so sorry to have invited you here

for dinner and run on so please forgive

me of course

would you like some more coffee mr.

Elliott bye hmm oh sorry I knew

something more coffee all right no thank

you

you know I'd swear I heard you called

your husband Mike what happened to Edgar

your husband's name was Edgar Elliot the

fourth what would you do I'd find a

nickname for him and quickly exactly

what will you two be doing on Thursday

but it is your wedding anniversary oh

yes we'll probably have dinner tent ones

and then take a walk down Bourbon Street

I have an idea let me give you a party

right here in my apartment mr. duvall we

couldn't let you do that

nonsense I'd like to invite everybody in

may I have it here

Edgar yeah you've got yourself a

two-fisted hard-drinking brawl wonderful

I figure about 7:30 I'm for stragglers

anybody should be to the party at 9

o'clock I'm not so sure we shouldn't

have stuck to just having you and Nicky

out for the evening that party's gonna

leave a lot of empty apartments to pick

from well Duke the words out of Little

Nicky down with more Julie and she could

wear to a dozen parties it's like

solving a goldmine all we have to do is

get out of the way and they come we're

insured till the teeth how do your boys

in Turner Hamlet two men in the janitors

supply room down the hall closed-circuit

TV lens focused on mics door why not

plant them inside Mike's place and bust

him as they walk in

I wanted to load up and leave picking to

home free I wanted to go wherever

they've been going I don't know how many

are in this operation they killed a man

that's the carrot that makes me run our

friend here has a capacity of passion

well at least some emotion Duke a point

Nikki and I are going over the insurance

plan you noticed a very strange

coincidence yes

we're the only company that's been

hitting every burglary adult Gardens is

- taking place against a client of ours - don't tell me Mike we've already tried

To line up one of our employees with

somebody anybody at Bell Garden it just

doesn't connect well I'll get back to

you later

I'm working on a little something of my

own I think you saying the police don't

want to cooperate with us private stuff

I just did skinny little theory I want

to put some meat on his bones

Oh around this place things are always

getting knocked over and still always

mrs. gay well once in a while

lieutenant must be something big like to

talk with you mrs. Duvall I may be

mistaken for mob our current watch is

our insurance her husband had to sell

all her jewelry last month some scheme

of his that went bust

he dropped their policies all of them

just last month he left her nothing like

except memories you feel lousy no way

I'm glad

what is it Nikki I don't know I'll go

find out

Nikki it's Hank Mike he's dead

who is it my lesser self where is

everybody

I think he's over at Bell Gardens I uh I

told Susanna mrs. Kay take the afternoon

off

I know I feel ya Hank really put meat on

that serious didn't

I came by to tell you I'm pulling you

off this one you're not pulling me off

anything I'm staying put in that

apartment not with my help you're not

then without it Mike with bullets flying

you can't duck so good now what could

you do that somebody else can't care

feel and maybe blow your cool because I

think maybe get killed yeah you turn

that around well what is this 20

questions oh I get it

an eye for an eye huh a life for a life

Bank was a pro he made his living at it

he knew what he was doing that's right

he the street trained that no he's gotta

walk into an ambush he had to be taken

off guard what was he doing down there

anyway that Lane

what was that theory of his let's face

it we may never know

- well we better he died for nothing and - was that strike in stone

Like good friends are hard to come by I

don't want to lose another one are you

gonna cancel my party tonight I want to

cancel some old debts tonight Duke if we

get lucky I need the party to do that

okay thanks

now you checked your employees for

connection to Bell Gardens and came up

empty

but you only check the people working

for you now right yeah so so suppose

somebody got a job with the company

checked out the policy to see which

clients living in Bell Gardens had what

fine art and jewelry covered got their

lists then quit say last month so they

didn't know that the vows that canceled

their insurance possible possible I'll

let you know

well it's sooo no one can listen in on

this line penny no what is it

I was at Jackson Square this afternoon I

I saw him with DuPage well that doesn't

mean my long street he's mad long

straight time I I remember his name from

when I worked for bait Pacific I

remember hearing that he was hurt in an

accident did you get a hold of Houston

no I tried but he's out with the Charter

and they don't expect him back till

after 8:00

I'll be home as soon as I can are you

all right I'm all right

no mic

got your jackets out of sequence

if they walk with your apartment don't

figure your whiner

yeah try this one

well now on do I match yeah let's not go

it's for us the risk is too great

what risk we're there the apartments

here you know Nikki I think you let

yourself become too cynical about the

whole pattern of human endeavor human

endeavor well point Mike for what I

purpose to be able to live in Bell

Gardens to acquire things so that other

people will waste their lives conspiring

to steal them and other people wasting

their lives chasing the thieves all that

waste is that human endeavor

you sound like my mother and why not

surrender we've got you surrounded and

do what I like chasing thieves yeah so

lieutenant Brody

I got him two bullets in the chest

protecting refrigerators and furniture

and stones from the ground

you know and if you will you see things

from different sides I I think that's

very lucky all right mrs. Elliott come

on let's catch the pumpkin and get to

the ball she might have run off with the

mailman will you keep that thought it's

alive yes I see how long ago thank you

and no no message

what kept you oh I'll think of something

hi drink please for sure excuse me you

didn't get the message we'll walk right

into it and we're all in the soup such a

lovely dress darling wherever did you

find it oh she didn't find it I floated

alone he's left for marina I've gotta

get out of here something good evening

this is the Elliot's anniversary party

and why aren't you here oh I see

excuse me miss acre by the corner okay

today's Leonor kadooks company up until

three months ago she must have figured

the tenants to be wrong just know the

other does anything unusual

all right all right

they've been sitting and all the rest

amendment eight mr. Hayson is something

wrong I hate to tell you but somebody's

been putting some liquor in those drinks

- I have to get some air what do you - excuse me

Tom Easton just left said he had too

much to drink

I swear he only had one why'd you get me

to the door mm-hmm

your sleep

forget it Elita insurance company

Longstreet how much does he know

you better talk about those boats now

Houston can you imagine personally I

can't stand

the hazel since called the shots you

pull the jobs but there was someone else

wasn't it someone above suspicion to

give the operation of mobility

that's our angsty real and naughty Hank

there's nothing unusual about it the

private Patrol sure

don't

don't move Houston

that one was six inches to the right

one foot to the left that time

I just a skinny little theory

hear it I can hit it

it's Hank Mike he's dead

oh I get it and eye-for-an-eye

I want to do it Houston believe me

okay

my stew

it's belongs to you

doesn't really do anything for to vow or

his widow

Barbara Hank and his family
