Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,167 --> 00:00:02,044
-You're off the case!
-You're kidding.
2
00:00:02,128 --> 00:00:03,796
You're gonna replace Charlie Greer
3
00:00:03,879 --> 00:00:04,839
at Fremont University.
4
00:00:04,922 --> 00:00:07,007
[Jessica] Tonight on Murder, She Wrote.
5
00:00:08,884 --> 00:00:10,428
Dad, it's okay.
6
00:00:10,511 --> 00:00:12,430
Before we drag each other down the aisle,
7
00:00:12,513 --> 00:00:15,808
Joe and me, we wanna,
we wanna try things out.
8
00:00:15,891 --> 00:00:17,643
What things? Blackmail.
9
00:00:17,727 --> 00:00:18,644
Makes sense to me.
10
00:00:18,728 --> 00:00:19,687
Now we're getting somewhere.
11
00:00:19,770 --> 00:00:21,313
Back off.
12
00:00:21,397 --> 00:00:23,107
Sorry, but my engine
doesn't run in reverse.
13
00:00:23,190 --> 00:00:25,651
Somebody wants you off the force real bad.
14
00:00:32,074 --> 00:00:34,994
[cheerful orchestral music]
15
00:01:22,249 --> 00:01:25,711
Jake, I'm sorry, but you're wrong.
16
00:01:25,795 --> 00:01:27,213
No!
17
00:01:27,296 --> 00:01:30,341
That is absolutely untrue.
18
00:01:30,424 --> 00:01:35,554
You have not been put out to graze.
19
00:01:35,638 --> 00:01:39,683
Yes. Yes, I'm sure you do.
20
00:01:39,767 --> 00:01:42,061
Now, look, I may be
flying out there in a month,
21
00:01:42,144 --> 00:01:47,525
and I promise I will call you
the minute that I land.
22
00:01:47,608 --> 00:01:49,276
Wonderful.
23
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,737
Well, love to Janie. Bye.
24
00:01:53,447 --> 00:01:54,698
Oh!
25
00:01:54,782 --> 00:01:56,867
Jake Ballinger.
26
00:01:56,951 --> 00:02:00,788
Now, there is a man to be reckoned with.
27
00:02:00,871 --> 00:02:03,541
A year ago he was the pride
of LA's homicide division,
28
00:02:03,624 --> 00:02:05,709
and if he wasn't exactly Mr. Popularity,
29
00:02:05,793 --> 00:02:09,129
he had the respect of the men
that he worked with.
30
00:02:09,213 --> 00:02:11,507
And then he accidentally
stepped on the wrong toe,
31
00:02:11,590 --> 00:02:14,176
and suddenly his life went topsy-turvy.
32
00:02:15,719 --> 00:02:17,721
But I'm getting ahead of myself.
33
00:02:17,805 --> 00:02:19,932
It started at a deserted beach
34
00:02:20,015 --> 00:02:22,518
on a night in July, well past midnight.
35
00:02:22,601 --> 00:02:24,812
[Jessica] A young drifter
named Leo Gunderson
36
00:02:24,895 --> 00:02:26,313
made his way onto the sand,
37
00:02:26,397 --> 00:02:28,482
looking for a place to sleep.
38
00:02:41,745 --> 00:02:43,080
You know what I want.
39
00:02:43,163 --> 00:02:44,623
It's too much.
40
00:02:44,707 --> 00:02:45,958
What are you doing? Stop it!
41
00:02:46,041 --> 00:02:47,501
Oh, my God!
42
00:02:47,585 --> 00:02:48,711
[screaming]
43
00:03:09,023 --> 00:03:11,525
[tires squealing]
44
00:03:24,788 --> 00:03:26,624
Miss?
45
00:03:26,707 --> 00:03:27,708
Miss, are you all right?
46
00:03:34,757 --> 00:03:36,383
[dog barking]
47
00:03:41,513 --> 00:03:42,973
And what the hell is this all about, huh?
48
00:03:43,057 --> 00:03:45,392
The Gunderson kid copped a plea, Jake.
49
00:03:45,476 --> 00:03:47,394
What's the matter with you?
Can't you read?
50
00:03:47,478 --> 00:03:49,897
That kid didn't kill that girl
any more than you did.
51
00:03:49,980 --> 00:03:51,774
I've been busting my butt for three weeks.
52
00:03:51,857 --> 00:03:53,859
Come on, huh? The case is closed.
53
00:03:53,943 --> 00:03:55,152
Not by me, it isn't.
54
00:03:55,235 --> 00:03:56,570
Who's his lawyer?
55
00:03:56,654 --> 00:03:57,947
Some wet-nosed kid from the PD's office?
56
00:03:58,030 --> 00:04:01,033
I didn't ask you up here
to argue, you know.
57
00:04:01,116 --> 00:04:02,910
Oh, come on, you know this stinks.
58
00:04:02,993 --> 00:04:04,078
Sit down.
59
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:07,748
I'm going over your head, Joe.
60
00:04:07,831 --> 00:04:08,958
Nothing personal.
61
00:04:10,376 --> 00:04:11,919
Jake, there's no place to go.
62
00:04:12,002 --> 00:04:13,170
You're off the case!
63
00:04:14,505 --> 00:04:17,132
Matter of fact, you've been transferred.
64
00:04:17,216 --> 00:04:18,801
Effective immediately.
65
00:04:18,884 --> 00:04:21,845
I must be crowding
somebody pretty big, huh?
66
00:04:21,929 --> 00:04:23,347
Where am I going, Joe?
67
00:04:23,430 --> 00:04:24,974
Night beat in the San Pedro docks, huh?
68
00:04:25,057 --> 00:04:26,850
No, as a matter of fact,
you're gonna replace
69
00:04:26,934 --> 00:04:28,936
Charlie Greer at Fremont University.
70
00:04:29,019 --> 00:04:29,979
You're kidding.
71
00:04:30,062 --> 00:04:31,897
I wish I were.
72
00:04:31,981 --> 00:04:33,190
What am I, senile, Joe?
73
00:04:34,441 --> 00:04:36,151
Joe, that's the last stop before oblivion.
74
00:04:36,235 --> 00:04:38,195
The department has a contract
75
00:04:38,278 --> 00:04:40,781
with the university to supply them
76
00:04:40,864 --> 00:04:42,950
with an experienced instructor.
77
00:04:43,033 --> 00:04:44,284
I am not going to start wet-nursing
78
00:04:44,368 --> 00:04:45,411
a bunch of pimply-faced--
79
00:04:45,494 --> 00:04:48,288
Will you listen to me?
80
00:04:48,372 --> 00:04:49,915
You don't have a choice.
81
00:04:49,999 --> 00:04:51,875
If you don't like it, you can quit.
82
00:04:51,959 --> 00:04:53,877
That's a quote from upstairs.
83
00:04:53,961 --> 00:04:55,504
If you ask me, Jake,
84
00:04:55,587 --> 00:04:58,507
somebody wants you off the force real bad.
85
00:05:00,467 --> 00:05:02,052
[bell ringing]
86
00:05:36,045 --> 00:05:36,962
[gunshot]
87
00:05:37,046 --> 00:05:38,630
[screaming]
88
00:05:47,890 --> 00:05:49,391
Now that I have your attention...
89
00:05:52,227 --> 00:05:54,438
My name is Ballinger.
90
00:05:54,521 --> 00:05:57,191
Detective lieutenant first grade.
91
00:05:57,274 --> 00:06:00,235
Initial a as in Amos, j as in Jason.
92
00:06:01,612 --> 00:06:04,615
Badge number 750162.
93
00:06:04,698 --> 00:06:06,492
Many of you were expecting to see
94
00:06:06,575 --> 00:06:08,744
captain Greer standing here this morning.
95
00:06:08,827 --> 00:06:10,954
Well, I'm happy to inform you
96
00:06:11,038 --> 00:06:14,166
the captain has been retired
on full pension
97
00:06:14,249 --> 00:06:17,002
with thanks from the department
for a job well done.
98
00:06:17,878 --> 00:06:19,379
Unhappily for you,
99
00:06:19,463 --> 00:06:22,216
I have been selected to take his place.
100
00:06:22,299 --> 00:06:24,009
Now, ladies and gentlemen,
101
00:06:24,093 --> 00:06:26,970
I have it on reliable information
102
00:06:27,054 --> 00:06:29,389
that criminology 240 has been a haven
103
00:06:29,473 --> 00:06:31,141
for the chronically lazy.
104
00:06:31,225 --> 00:06:33,560
And a swell place to knock off 40 winks
105
00:06:33,644 --> 00:06:36,188
between lunch at the student union
106
00:06:36,271 --> 00:06:38,482
and a 24-hour poker game
107
00:06:38,565 --> 00:06:40,400
in the basement of the dormitory.
108
00:06:44,363 --> 00:06:47,032
Well, my young friends,
109
00:06:47,116 --> 00:06:48,826
let me inform you of the sad news.
110
00:06:50,410 --> 00:06:52,287
The boondoggle is over.
111
00:06:52,371 --> 00:06:54,039
Now, those of you
who wish to stay enrolled
112
00:06:54,123 --> 00:06:55,833
in this class
113
00:06:55,916 --> 00:06:59,002
will learn a new definition
of the word "work."
114
00:06:59,086 --> 00:07:01,046
I will not cast upon you pearls of wisdom
115
00:07:01,130 --> 00:07:05,342
accumulated over 25 years.
116
00:07:05,425 --> 00:07:07,970
I will cram them down your throat,
117
00:07:08,053 --> 00:07:11,098
in your ears and any other orifice
118
00:07:11,181 --> 00:07:13,934
into which they will conveniently fit.
119
00:07:14,017 --> 00:07:15,936
I plan to set a mean pace here.
120
00:07:16,019 --> 00:07:18,230
Those who can't keep up
121
00:07:18,313 --> 00:07:21,358
will be suitably rewarded
with a failing grade.
122
00:07:22,484 --> 00:07:24,153
Now, ladies and gentlemen,
class will reconvene
123
00:07:24,236 --> 00:07:26,655
tomorrow morning at 9:00 a.m.
124
00:07:26,738 --> 00:07:27,781
Oh!
125
00:07:29,408 --> 00:07:30,993
A few of you may decide
126
00:07:31,076 --> 00:07:33,412
that there is a less demanding way
127
00:07:33,495 --> 00:07:35,831
to earn three credits
toward your graduation.
128
00:07:38,208 --> 00:07:40,210
Please feel free to go elsewhere
with my blessing.
129
00:07:59,980 --> 00:08:01,440
-Dad?
-Yeah, I'm in here, Janie.
130
00:08:01,523 --> 00:08:02,816
Is something burning?
131
00:08:05,027 --> 00:08:06,486
You're not going to eat that?
132
00:08:06,570 --> 00:08:08,071
I'm starving.
133
00:08:08,155 --> 00:08:09,781
I thought we had an agreement.
134
00:08:09,865 --> 00:08:12,117
I don't bust pushers,
you don't bake, boil or fry.
135
00:08:12,201 --> 00:08:14,161
Hey, look, I lost 20 pounds.
I'm in great shape.
136
00:08:14,244 --> 00:08:15,162
I mean, what do you want from me?
137
00:08:15,245 --> 00:08:16,872
I gotta eat.
138
00:08:16,955 --> 00:08:18,498
Throw that out. I bought lamb chops.
139
00:08:18,582 --> 00:08:20,500
Are you kidding? I love my eggs this way.
140
00:08:20,584 --> 00:08:22,878
Yeah, the toast looks
pretty appetizing, too.
141
00:08:22,961 --> 00:08:24,588
Yeah.
142
00:08:24,671 --> 00:08:28,800
So, how was things
at general hospital today?
143
00:08:30,344 --> 00:08:32,304
Oh, the usual influx of broken bones,
144
00:08:32,387 --> 00:08:35,265
contusions, abrasions.
145
00:08:35,349 --> 00:08:36,350
How was your day, professor?
146
00:08:36,433 --> 00:08:38,977
Hey, don't be smart, young lady, huh?
147
00:08:39,061 --> 00:08:40,896
That bad?
148
00:08:40,979 --> 00:08:43,941
Well, actually, it was okay.
149
00:08:44,024 --> 00:08:46,526
I delivered a speech guaranteed
150
00:08:46,610 --> 00:08:48,445
to frighten off the whole pack of them.
151
00:08:48,528 --> 00:08:50,155
I bet when I show up tomorrow,
there'll be nobody there.
152
00:08:50,239 --> 00:08:52,699
No class, no students.
153
00:08:57,704 --> 00:08:59,831
I'm not gonna have you up
all night with indigestion.
154
00:09:01,959 --> 00:09:03,126
Caesar!
155
00:09:16,556 --> 00:09:18,475
So, Joe coming over tonight?
156
00:09:20,352 --> 00:09:22,271
No, Joe's working.
157
00:09:22,354 --> 00:09:23,814
Gee, he's been working
three straight nights.
158
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:26,984
Anything wrong with you two guys?
159
00:09:27,067 --> 00:09:28,986
Nothing a mutual night off wouldn't cure.
160
00:09:29,069 --> 00:09:31,029
You know, maybe if you'd stop trying
161
00:09:31,113 --> 00:09:33,240
to stash away a million bucks
before you got married...
162
00:09:34,283 --> 00:09:35,826
Who said we're getting married?
163
00:09:35,909 --> 00:09:38,203
Oh?
164
00:09:38,287 --> 00:09:39,621
Dad, it's okay.
165
00:09:39,705 --> 00:09:40,914
I didn't say anything, did I?
166
00:09:43,542 --> 00:09:45,502
Before we drag each other down the aisle,
167
00:09:45,585 --> 00:09:47,296
Joe and me, we want to...
168
00:09:47,379 --> 00:09:48,922
We want to try things out.
169
00:09:49,006 --> 00:09:49,965
What things?
170
00:09:50,048 --> 00:09:51,341
[phone rings]
171
00:09:51,425 --> 00:09:52,801
Look, Janie, I am not broad-minded.
172
00:09:52,884 --> 00:09:54,511
I am not even moderately tolerant.
173
00:09:54,594 --> 00:09:55,971
The fact of the matter
is that no daughter of mine
174
00:09:56,054 --> 00:09:57,055
is going to start trying things.
175
00:09:57,139 --> 00:09:58,473
Hello!
176
00:09:58,557 --> 00:09:59,599
Yeah, this is lieutenant Ballinger.
177
00:10:04,229 --> 00:10:05,355
I'll be there in 20 minutes.
178
00:10:05,439 --> 00:10:09,026
Dad, what is it?
179
00:10:09,109 --> 00:10:10,485
It's Anna Gunderson.
180
00:10:10,569 --> 00:10:12,154
She's in the hospital, she's critical.
181
00:10:12,237 --> 00:10:14,281
She asked to see me.
182
00:10:14,364 --> 00:10:15,991
-She was jaywalking.
-Mm-hmm.
183
00:10:16,074 --> 00:10:17,451
Oh, here it is.
184
00:10:17,534 --> 00:10:18,702
Young kid who hit her is a basket case.
185
00:10:18,785 --> 00:10:20,245
Yeah?
186
00:10:20,329 --> 00:10:21,955
He says he didn't see her. I believe him.
187
00:10:22,039 --> 00:10:23,040
-Okay, thanks.
-All right.
188
00:10:32,466 --> 00:10:33,759
Mrs. Gunderson?
189
00:10:33,842 --> 00:10:35,886
-Lieutenant Ballinger?
-Yeah.
190
00:10:35,969 --> 00:10:37,679
Oh, thank God.
191
00:10:37,763 --> 00:10:40,057
Look, the doctors don't want you to talk
192
00:10:40,140 --> 00:10:41,975
too long now, so...
193
00:10:42,059 --> 00:10:44,936
-My son. My boy, Leo.
-Yes?
194
00:10:46,229 --> 00:10:49,066
He writes me from the jail.
195
00:10:49,149 --> 00:10:51,818
It is bad for him, very bad.
196
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:58,241
Lieutenant, he did not do what they say.
197
00:10:58,325 --> 00:11:01,078
Look, Mrs. Gunderson, he pleaded guilty.
198
00:11:01,161 --> 00:11:05,415
Because he was afraid.
Because he did not understand.
199
00:11:07,125 --> 00:11:10,837
They told him he would be killed
200
00:11:10,921 --> 00:11:15,425
in the gas chamber if he did not confess.
201
00:11:16,009 --> 00:11:19,971
So he confessed. But he's innocent.
202
00:11:21,223 --> 00:11:23,475
He told me you believed him.
203
00:11:23,558 --> 00:11:28,522
Mrs. Gunderson, I'm sorry,
the case is closed.
204
00:11:28,605 --> 00:11:34,277
Lieutenant, please, someone must help him.
205
00:11:34,361 --> 00:11:39,908
You must help him
before he dies in that place.
206
00:11:44,579 --> 00:11:48,083
Jake never did have much use
for departmental politics.
207
00:11:48,166 --> 00:11:49,835
And when it came to a choice
208
00:11:49,918 --> 00:11:52,504
between helping Anna Gunderson
or bending the rule book,
209
00:11:52,587 --> 00:11:54,631
well, for Jake, the decision was easy.
210
00:11:54,714 --> 00:11:56,049
First thing the next morning,
211
00:11:56,133 --> 00:11:57,551
he went to visit his friend Sam Kendall
212
00:11:57,634 --> 00:11:59,344
at the forensics laboratory.
213
00:11:59,428 --> 00:12:00,929
[Jessica] Kendall was an old friend
214
00:12:01,012 --> 00:12:04,599
who never said no
when Jake needed a favor.
215
00:12:04,683 --> 00:12:06,059
You working, Sam,
216
00:12:06,143 --> 00:12:07,602
or you just looking at dirty pictures?
217
00:12:07,686 --> 00:12:09,187
Damn it, Jake, don't sneak up on me
218
00:12:09,271 --> 00:12:10,605
like that, will you?
219
00:12:10,689 --> 00:12:11,731
Here, you want to see something wild?
220
00:12:11,815 --> 00:12:12,983
-Yeah.
-Take a peek.
221
00:12:15,485 --> 00:12:17,320
-Yuck!
-Beautiful, huh?
222
00:12:17,404 --> 00:12:18,780
That's a lung section taken from a guy
223
00:12:18,864 --> 00:12:20,407
that was washed up on the beach Sunday,
224
00:12:20,490 --> 00:12:22,117
tentatively identified
225
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,786
as a real estate broker
by the name of Waterford.
226
00:12:24,870 --> 00:12:27,205
Only it isn't.
227
00:12:27,289 --> 00:12:30,041
See the lovely gobs of nicotine?
228
00:12:33,670 --> 00:12:35,797
-Waterford didn't smoke, right?
-Right.
229
00:12:35,881 --> 00:12:37,174
Right.
230
00:12:37,257 --> 00:12:39,009
You know, Sam, if I ever decide
to commit murder,
231
00:12:39,092 --> 00:12:41,553
I'm gonna make sure you're on vacation.
232
00:12:41,636 --> 00:12:43,263
So what can I do for you?
233
00:12:43,346 --> 00:12:45,557
A few weeks ago, the Gunderson case,
234
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,477
you made a cast of a tire tread
near the murder site.
235
00:12:48,560 --> 00:12:50,812
Look, Jake, that case is closed.
236
00:12:51,855 --> 00:12:53,607
Yeah, well, I know,
but I'm just a little curious.
237
00:12:54,816 --> 00:12:55,734
What did you find?
238
00:12:55,817 --> 00:12:57,527
Look, I can't help you.
239
00:12:57,611 --> 00:12:58,862
The file has been sealed.
240
00:12:58,945 --> 00:13:01,323
-Well, by who?
-Superior court.
241
00:13:01,406 --> 00:13:02,824
-Well, which Judge?
-I don't know.
242
00:13:02,908 --> 00:13:03,909
Oh, come on, Sam.
243
00:13:03,992 --> 00:13:06,703
Look, I'm sorry.
244
00:13:06,786 --> 00:13:09,581
It's my job. I can't tell you.
245
00:13:12,876 --> 00:13:14,753
You have a hearing problem, Jake?
246
00:13:14,836 --> 00:13:17,631
The Gunderson case is over with.
247
00:13:17,714 --> 00:13:19,758
Who ordered the records sealed, huh?
248
00:13:19,841 --> 00:13:21,676
I'm not getting through to you, am I?
249
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,596
Currently, you're on detached assignment.
250
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,474
Until told otherwise, you're a teacher.
251
00:13:27,557 --> 00:13:29,142
So go teach.
252
00:13:29,226 --> 00:13:31,686
Look, Joe, I want
the name of that Judge, huh?
253
00:13:31,770 --> 00:13:34,022
I don't know it, and if I did,
I wouldn't give it to you.
254
00:13:34,105 --> 00:13:36,650
Damn it, Jake,
you're not a rookie anymore.
255
00:13:38,902 --> 00:13:43,323
Guys who knew you when, old guys like me,
256
00:13:43,406 --> 00:13:45,992
we're getting squeezed out
by these computer types
257
00:13:46,076 --> 00:13:49,037
with the alphabet soup college degrees.
258
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:50,330
Yeah, I noticed.
259
00:13:50,413 --> 00:13:51,748
Then get smart.
260
00:13:51,831 --> 00:13:54,709
Only got six years till your pension.
261
00:13:54,793 --> 00:13:56,044
It's a lousy deal.
262
00:13:56,127 --> 00:13:57,170
It's the only deal you're gonna get.
263
00:13:59,297 --> 00:14:03,843
So close your eyes,
hold your nose, and ride it out.
264
00:14:03,927 --> 00:14:05,637
Is that what you're doing, Joe?
265
00:14:09,641 --> 00:14:10,850
And I only hope I make it.
266
00:14:17,566 --> 00:14:18,900
[bell ringing]
267
00:14:26,408 --> 00:14:28,034
I'm sorry! I'm sorry about that.
268
00:14:28,118 --> 00:14:29,035
Excuse me.
269
00:14:47,387 --> 00:14:51,933
Good morning. Sir.
270
00:14:52,017 --> 00:14:54,102
I guess you weren't here
yesterday morning, Mr...
271
00:14:55,687 --> 00:14:56,896
Berndlestein.
272
00:14:56,980 --> 00:14:59,399
Oh, yes, Sir, I was here.
273
00:14:59,482 --> 00:15:01,568
That's "steen," Sir.
274
00:15:01,651 --> 00:15:02,819
The what?
275
00:15:02,902 --> 00:15:05,572
"Berndlesteen," not "berndlestine."
276
00:15:05,655 --> 00:15:07,741
Most everybody just calls me Bernie.
277
00:15:07,824 --> 00:15:09,284
-Do they?
-Mm-hmm.
278
00:15:09,367 --> 00:15:11,036
Ah.
279
00:15:14,956 --> 00:15:16,625
-Good morning.
-Good morning, lieutenant.
280
00:15:16,708 --> 00:15:18,752
Elizabeth mills;
I was here yesterday as well.
281
00:15:21,338 --> 00:15:24,799
You do know that this is criminology 240.
282
00:15:24,883 --> 00:15:27,177
I believe that's spelled out on the card.
283
00:15:29,220 --> 00:15:31,306
Yeah, well, forgive me
if I seem ungallant,
284
00:15:31,389 --> 00:15:32,349
miss mills...
285
00:15:32,432 --> 00:15:33,391
that's Mrs.
286
00:15:33,475 --> 00:15:35,143
Oh, Mrs. Mills.
287
00:15:35,226 --> 00:15:38,229
What I was about to say
was that I am a little surprised
288
00:15:38,313 --> 00:15:40,732
to see a lady of your...
289
00:15:40,815 --> 00:15:44,527
maturity attending
an undergraduate course.
290
00:15:44,611 --> 00:15:46,363
When I should be home diapering the babies
291
00:15:46,446 --> 00:15:48,281
and getting the old man's dinner
on the table?
292
00:15:48,365 --> 00:15:50,367
Look, lieutenant, suppose we understand
293
00:15:50,450 --> 00:15:51,910
each other right from the start.
294
00:15:51,993 --> 00:15:53,453
I have no children,
295
00:15:53,536 --> 00:15:55,580
my husband and I
were divorced five years ago.
296
00:15:55,664 --> 00:15:56,748
At the moment, I'm the assistant
297
00:15:56,831 --> 00:15:58,375
to the chief claims investigator
298
00:15:58,458 --> 00:16:00,460
for a major life insurance company.
299
00:16:00,543 --> 00:16:02,504
My boss, poor man,
300
00:16:02,587 --> 00:16:04,255
either through heredity or environment,
301
00:16:04,339 --> 00:16:06,966
has been turned by life
into a narrow-minded,
302
00:16:07,050 --> 00:16:09,594
male macho stuffed shirt
303
00:16:09,678 --> 00:16:12,389
who is totally ill-equipped to do his job.
304
00:16:12,472 --> 00:16:13,807
I give him another six months
305
00:16:13,890 --> 00:16:15,183
before management starts looking around
306
00:16:15,266 --> 00:16:17,143
for his replacement, and when they do,
307
00:16:17,227 --> 00:16:18,645
I want them to look my way.
308
00:16:19,729 --> 00:16:21,106
Now, I hope that satisfies you
309
00:16:21,189 --> 00:16:22,565
as to my reasons for being here
310
00:16:22,649 --> 00:16:24,067
and you won't continue to look upon me
311
00:16:24,150 --> 00:16:25,860
as just another pretty face.
312
00:16:27,028 --> 00:16:29,197
Honey, that's one mistake
I'll probably never make again.
313
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:30,615
Good.
314
00:16:30,699 --> 00:16:31,616
Well, now that we have that settled,
315
00:16:31,700 --> 00:16:33,451
shall we get started?
316
00:16:33,535 --> 00:16:35,745
Suppose you begin by telling us
what text we'll be using.
317
00:16:35,829 --> 00:16:37,372
Text?
318
00:16:37,455 --> 00:16:39,541
No, no, no. I...
319
00:16:39,624 --> 00:16:44,546
I'm not much for textbooks or classrooms.
320
00:16:44,629 --> 00:16:47,799
You see, this is gonna be
more like a lab course,
321
00:16:47,882 --> 00:16:50,468
with lots of practical application.
322
00:16:53,430 --> 00:16:55,056
[panting]
323
00:16:56,850 --> 00:16:58,309
Actually, what I really
wanted to be was a cop
324
00:16:58,393 --> 00:16:59,853
like my dad and my uncle Marvin,
325
00:16:59,936 --> 00:17:01,771
only my eyes weren't
really too good, so...
326
00:17:01,855 --> 00:17:03,773
I used to eat ten carrots a day.
It didn't really help much.
327
00:17:03,857 --> 00:17:07,318
Will you keep up, Mrs. Mills?
We can't take all day here.
328
00:17:07,402 --> 00:17:09,779
Next time, I will dress for the occasion.
329
00:17:12,741 --> 00:17:14,576
I'm wearing contact lenses.
You probably didn't notice.
330
00:17:14,659 --> 00:17:16,411
Yeah, it slipped right past me.
331
00:17:16,494 --> 00:17:18,037
Well, anyway, for the time being,
332
00:17:18,121 --> 00:17:19,456
I'm driving a cab, you know,
333
00:17:19,539 --> 00:17:20,957
until I get my business established.
334
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,042
-What kind of business is that?
-I'm a pi.
335
00:17:23,126 --> 00:17:25,336
Yeah, I'm a private investigator.
336
00:17:25,420 --> 00:17:27,088
I mean, I will be
as soon as I get my license.
337
00:17:28,465 --> 00:17:32,218
As soon as I pass this course, that is.
338
00:17:32,302 --> 00:17:35,930
If I pass this course, that is, Sir.
339
00:17:45,315 --> 00:17:47,108
All right, here we are,
scene of the crime.
340
00:17:49,527 --> 00:17:52,697
I didn't know this included
a course in calisthenics.
341
00:17:52,781 --> 00:17:54,449
If you can't keep up, Mrs. Mills,
342
00:17:54,532 --> 00:17:56,284
there's always home economics.
343
00:17:56,367 --> 00:17:58,411
You just talk as fast
as you like, lieutenant.
344
00:17:58,495 --> 00:18:01,206
I'm terrific at shorthand.
All us girls are.
345
00:18:01,289 --> 00:18:02,957
It's hereditary.
346
00:18:03,041 --> 00:18:04,209
Okay.
347
00:18:04,292 --> 00:18:05,668
About four months ago,
348
00:18:05,752 --> 00:18:07,128
a young girl by the name of Janet Carr
349
00:18:07,212 --> 00:18:08,880
was killed on this beach.
350
00:18:08,963 --> 00:18:11,925
It was early morning, about 1:00 a.m.
351
00:18:12,008 --> 00:18:13,384
Now, the medical examiner says
352
00:18:13,468 --> 00:18:14,969
that she struggled with her assailant,
353
00:18:15,053 --> 00:18:18,097
she fell, she struck her head
on a jagged rock,
354
00:18:18,181 --> 00:18:19,808
and she died instantly.
355
00:18:19,891 --> 00:18:21,976
They arrested a young guy
by the name of Leo Gunderson
356
00:18:22,060 --> 00:18:23,436
at the scene of the crime.
357
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:24,521
Oh, yeah, I think I read about that.
358
00:18:24,604 --> 00:18:25,772
Yeah, well, you also read that
359
00:18:25,855 --> 00:18:27,273
he pleaded guilty to manslaughter.
360
00:18:27,357 --> 00:18:29,150
Excuse me if I seem dense, lieutenant,
361
00:18:29,234 --> 00:18:31,110
but what's the point?
362
00:18:31,194 --> 00:18:34,572
The point is, Mrs. Mills,
that Leo Gunderson is innocent.
363
00:18:34,656 --> 00:18:36,491
Which is why he confessed?
364
00:18:36,574 --> 00:18:38,910
He confessed because he had
the stuffing scared out of him
365
00:18:38,993 --> 00:18:40,787
by some assistant DA.
366
00:18:40,870 --> 00:18:43,665
So now he's doing five to ten
for involuntary manslaughter
367
00:18:43,748 --> 00:18:46,543
while the killer of Janet Carr
walks around free.
368
00:18:46,626 --> 00:18:47,794
Oh, I get it.
369
00:18:47,877 --> 00:18:49,254
You're gonna get the guy, right?
370
00:18:49,337 --> 00:18:50,630
Me?
371
00:18:50,713 --> 00:18:52,799
No, no, no, not me, Mr. Berndlestein.
372
00:18:52,882 --> 00:18:54,092
You see, these days I'm a teacher,
373
00:18:54,175 --> 00:18:56,636
not a homicide detective.
374
00:18:56,719 --> 00:18:58,179
However,
375
00:18:58,263 --> 00:19:00,306
there's nothing that says
that an actual case
376
00:19:00,390 --> 00:19:02,392
cannot be used as a class project.
377
00:19:02,475 --> 00:19:05,603
And if my students,
in their pursuit of knowledge,
378
00:19:05,687 --> 00:19:07,647
just happen to unearth some evidence
379
00:19:07,730 --> 00:19:10,108
of justice gone awry,
380
00:19:10,191 --> 00:19:12,735
well, isn't that
what the educational process
381
00:19:12,819 --> 00:19:13,945
is all about?
382
00:19:15,530 --> 00:19:18,074
I had no idea you'd need
an office, lieutenant.
383
00:19:18,157 --> 00:19:19,868
I'm afraid this is all we have left.
384
00:19:27,917 --> 00:19:31,045
I'll get maintenance up here right away.
385
00:19:31,129 --> 00:19:32,630
If you had let me know earlier...
386
00:19:32,714 --> 00:19:35,258
Well, I'm also gonna need a phone,
387
00:19:35,341 --> 00:19:36,175
preferably two phones.
388
00:19:36,259 --> 00:19:38,970
Well, yes, I suppose.
389
00:19:39,053 --> 00:19:40,388
And a secretary, huh?
390
00:19:40,471 --> 00:19:42,765
Oh, dear me. I'm not sure about that.
391
00:19:42,849 --> 00:19:45,101
You're not...
392
00:19:45,184 --> 00:19:47,437
Look, Dean,
393
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,314
when the boys downtown
394
00:19:49,397 --> 00:19:50,857
first offered me this assignment,
395
00:19:50,940 --> 00:19:52,275
I mean, I jumped at it.
396
00:19:52,358 --> 00:19:53,818
And you know why?
397
00:19:53,902 --> 00:19:58,281
Because I saw an opportunity
to mold minds,
398
00:19:58,364 --> 00:20:00,199
to instill in our young people
399
00:20:00,283 --> 00:20:02,619
a respect for the American justice system.
400
00:20:02,702 --> 00:20:06,247
No matter how big the workload, Dean,
401
00:20:06,331 --> 00:20:07,790
I'm with you, huh?
402
00:20:07,874 --> 00:20:10,460
All I want from you, Dean,
right now, in return,
403
00:20:10,543 --> 00:20:14,005
is just a little support, okay?
404
00:20:14,088 --> 00:20:18,509
Well, perhaps one of our
undergraduates on scholarship.
405
00:20:18,593 --> 00:20:20,511
They're always looking for part-time work.
406
00:20:20,595 --> 00:20:22,347
That's great, thank you so much.
407
00:20:22,430 --> 00:20:24,265
If I need anything else,
I'll let you know, huh?
408
00:20:24,349 --> 00:20:26,392
Thank you. Thanks.
409
00:20:27,393 --> 00:20:28,603
Thanks.
410
00:20:30,605 --> 00:20:31,773
Thanks!
411
00:20:36,861 --> 00:20:39,781
George, it's Liz mills. How are you?
412
00:20:39,864 --> 00:20:41,616
Listen, George, I need a favor.
413
00:20:41,699 --> 00:20:43,326
I'm taking a course in criminology
414
00:20:43,409 --> 00:20:44,661
at the university...
415
00:20:44,744 --> 00:20:46,079
[scoffs]
416
00:20:46,162 --> 00:20:47,830
Yeah, yeah, it's loads of laughs,
417
00:20:47,914 --> 00:20:51,167
but it's going to look
very, very good on my resume.
418
00:20:51,250 --> 00:20:52,794
Anyway, our first big assignment
419
00:20:52,877 --> 00:20:55,421
is to investigate
a young woman named Janet Carr.
420
00:20:55,505 --> 00:20:58,174
Her last known address
was 4029 lankershim.
421
00:20:59,258 --> 00:21:01,636
Carr, c-a-r-r.
422
00:21:01,719 --> 00:21:04,681
She died about four months ago.
You might have read about it.
423
00:21:04,764 --> 00:21:06,349
Anyway, George, it occurred to me
424
00:21:06,432 --> 00:21:07,809
that she may have a policy,
we didn't carry it.
425
00:21:07,892 --> 00:21:10,645
Neither did prudential or mutual.
426
00:21:10,728 --> 00:21:12,313
I don't know if a claim was filed
427
00:21:12,397 --> 00:21:14,273
or even if there was such a policy.
428
00:21:14,357 --> 00:21:16,192
George, would you be a sweetheart?
429
00:21:16,275 --> 00:21:17,568
Just punch it into your computer,
430
00:21:17,652 --> 00:21:19,362
see if you come up with anything?
431
00:21:19,445 --> 00:21:21,948
Oh, thank you, I'll hold.
432
00:21:22,031 --> 00:21:23,533
Madge, call Neil.
433
00:21:23,616 --> 00:21:25,034
Cancel me out of lunch,
I'm gonna be working in.
434
00:21:25,118 --> 00:21:26,119
Have the Deli send me up
corned beef on rye.
435
00:21:26,202 --> 00:21:27,829
Yes, ma'am.
436
00:21:27,912 --> 00:21:30,164
Yes, George?
437
00:21:30,248 --> 00:21:31,499
Oh, terrific!
438
00:21:33,167 --> 00:21:34,919
Her real name's what?
439
00:21:35,003 --> 00:21:36,504
Could you spell that?
440
00:21:36,587 --> 00:21:39,507
And what address do you have?
441
00:21:39,590 --> 00:21:41,009
That's no good.
442
00:21:41,092 --> 00:21:42,927
She moved out of that place a year ago.
443
00:21:43,011 --> 00:21:46,431
Well, who's the beneficiary on the policy?
444
00:21:46,514 --> 00:21:48,850
Come on, George, this involves a murder.
445
00:21:48,933 --> 00:21:50,685
I mean, where's your sense of civic duty?
446
00:21:53,229 --> 00:21:54,605
Good fellow. Okay.
447
00:21:55,690 --> 00:21:56,983
And what address do you have
for the beneficiary?
448
00:21:59,110 --> 00:22:00,528
George, George, I love you!
449
00:22:00,611 --> 00:22:01,904
[kissing noises]
450
00:22:01,988 --> 00:22:03,531
Next time you're in the neighborhood,
451
00:22:03,614 --> 00:22:04,699
you call me and I'll take you
to lunch, okay?
452
00:22:04,782 --> 00:22:05,658
Bye-bye.
453
00:22:22,842 --> 00:22:24,260
Hello, Mrs. Summerfield?
454
00:22:24,343 --> 00:22:26,679
-Yes.
-My name is Elizabeth mills.
455
00:22:26,763 --> 00:22:28,473
I'm from coastland insurance,
456
00:22:28,556 --> 00:22:30,308
and I wondered if I could
have a word with your husband.
457
00:22:30,391 --> 00:22:33,019
Oh, I'm sorry,
he's out of town on business.
458
00:22:33,102 --> 00:22:34,395
Oh, I see.
459
00:22:34,479 --> 00:22:35,730
He's not expected back until Friday.
460
00:22:35,813 --> 00:22:37,106
Is there something I can do for you?
461
00:22:37,190 --> 00:22:39,233
No, I don't think so, thanks.
462
00:22:39,317 --> 00:22:41,903
I hope you're not here
to sell us any more coverage.
463
00:22:41,986 --> 00:22:44,655
I'm afraid Carl and I have
more than we need already.
464
00:22:44,739 --> 00:22:47,283
-Carl?
-Yes, my husband.
465
00:22:47,366 --> 00:22:48,785
Gee, that's funny.
466
00:22:48,868 --> 00:22:50,369
I was given the name Jeremy Summerfield.
467
00:22:50,453 --> 00:22:52,455
[crying]
468
00:22:56,667 --> 00:22:57,835
Who did you say you were?
469
00:22:57,919 --> 00:22:59,879
Elizabeth mills, coastland insurance.
470
00:23:01,297 --> 00:23:03,049
I'm sorry.
471
00:23:03,132 --> 00:23:05,510
I don't have anything
to do with our insurance,
472
00:23:06,928 --> 00:23:08,596
and I'm really very busy now.
473
00:23:08,679 --> 00:23:10,681
Come here.
474
00:23:10,765 --> 00:23:12,517
Mrs. Summerfield, I'm sorry.
475
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,727
I didn't mean to upset you.
476
00:23:14,811 --> 00:23:16,521
I just wanted to ask you a few questions.
477
00:23:16,604 --> 00:23:18,397
That's all we've had
for a year now, is questions.
478
00:23:18,481 --> 00:23:19,816
They never end.
479
00:23:19,899 --> 00:23:21,025
When are you people going to stop?
480
00:23:40,628 --> 00:23:41,921
Hello.
481
00:23:45,341 --> 00:23:47,301
Well, good afternoon, Mrs. Mills.
482
00:23:55,017 --> 00:23:57,603
Thank you for calling me this afternoon.
483
00:23:57,687 --> 00:24:00,273
I wouldn't want to be left out
of this investigation of yours.
484
00:24:00,356 --> 00:24:03,317
Well, thank you. I knew you'd be grateful.
485
00:24:03,401 --> 00:24:04,944
At the risk of being obvious,
486
00:24:05,027 --> 00:24:06,195
may I point out to you
that I am the detective
487
00:24:06,279 --> 00:24:07,864
on this case, huh?
488
00:24:07,947 --> 00:24:09,073
Lieutenant, if we're gonna
stand on ceremony,
489
00:24:09,157 --> 00:24:10,491
we're never gonna get anywhere.
490
00:24:10,575 --> 00:24:11,951
Now, this is what I have in a nutshell.
491
00:24:12,034 --> 00:24:13,494
Mrs. Summerfield wasn't much help,
492
00:24:13,578 --> 00:24:15,746
but the neighbors love to chat.
493
00:24:15,830 --> 00:24:17,290
If you ever decide to commit murder,
494
00:24:17,373 --> 00:24:18,374
don't do it on that block.
495
00:24:19,750 --> 00:24:20,793
If I ever decide to commit murder,
496
00:24:20,877 --> 00:24:22,044
you'll be the first to know.
497
00:24:26,674 --> 00:24:28,467
Yes, lieutenant,
498
00:24:28,551 --> 00:24:30,052
that poor young girl
was with us for several weeks.
499
00:24:30,136 --> 00:24:31,929
I'm afraid that's all I can tell you.
500
00:24:34,348 --> 00:24:36,642
Our girls are promised total anonymity.
501
00:24:36,726 --> 00:24:38,269
I really must respect that.
502
00:24:38,352 --> 00:24:39,729
Well, I understand, sister,
503
00:24:39,812 --> 00:24:41,772
but these are special circumstances.
504
00:24:41,856 --> 00:24:43,649
I mean, you know, Janet Carr is dead.
505
00:24:43,733 --> 00:24:46,068
So I've just learned.
506
00:24:46,152 --> 00:24:49,155
We knew her by her real name,
Jeanette Cardini.
507
00:24:49,238 --> 00:24:51,490
In any case,
it doesn't make any difference.
508
00:24:51,574 --> 00:24:53,492
Sister, we know Janet was pregnant
509
00:24:53,576 --> 00:24:55,745
when she came here,
and that the son was adopted
510
00:24:55,828 --> 00:24:57,747
by a family named Summerfield.
511
00:24:57,830 --> 00:24:59,290
How did you learn that?
512
00:24:59,373 --> 00:25:02,084
How Mrs. Mills accidentally stumbled
513
00:25:02,168 --> 00:25:05,338
upon that piece of information
is irrelevant, sister.
514
00:25:08,049 --> 00:25:09,884
But this is the first real link
515
00:25:09,967 --> 00:25:12,136
we've been able to establish
with Janet's past.
516
00:25:12,220 --> 00:25:14,764
Sister, could you give us
the name of the child's father?
517
00:25:14,847 --> 00:25:16,933
I can't.
518
00:25:17,016 --> 00:25:19,936
Jeanette never revealed his identity.
519
00:25:20,019 --> 00:25:21,646
I'm sorry.
520
00:25:21,729 --> 00:25:23,231
Yeah, I'm sorry, too.
521
00:25:24,357 --> 00:25:25,358
But sister...
522
00:25:27,985 --> 00:25:30,112
sister, did she ever receive any mail
523
00:25:30,196 --> 00:25:33,199
or write to anybody on a regular basis?
524
00:25:34,325 --> 00:25:36,869
No. She was a very private person.
525
00:25:36,953 --> 00:25:38,621
What about phone calls?
526
00:25:38,704 --> 00:25:41,582
Oh, a few, I suppose.
527
00:25:41,666 --> 00:25:43,376
We really don't have any way to check.
528
00:25:43,459 --> 00:25:44,669
Not even long distance?
529
00:25:44,752 --> 00:25:46,712
Oh, my!
530
00:25:46,796 --> 00:25:47,880
Yes.
531
00:25:47,964 --> 00:25:49,465
She did make one phone call.
532
00:25:49,548 --> 00:25:51,592
Upstate somewhere.
533
00:25:51,676 --> 00:25:53,886
The night before the child was born.
534
00:25:55,721 --> 00:25:57,932
Yes, here we are.
535
00:25:58,015 --> 00:25:59,850
The child was born on the eighth,
536
00:25:59,934 --> 00:26:02,103
and the phone call was made
the evening of the seventh.
537
00:26:05,898 --> 00:26:08,985
Here it is. Area code 916.
538
00:26:09,068 --> 00:26:10,403
Yeah, I see it, I see it.
539
00:26:10,486 --> 00:26:12,905
916 is Sacramento.
540
00:26:12,989 --> 00:26:14,573
She talked for almost 30 minutes.
541
00:26:14,657 --> 00:26:15,700
Sister, do you mind?
542
00:26:15,783 --> 00:26:17,201
I'm dying of curiosity.
543
00:26:17,285 --> 00:26:18,661
Go right ahead.
544
00:26:18,744 --> 00:26:20,579
The usual procedure, Mrs. Mills,
545
00:26:20,663 --> 00:26:22,498
is to verify through the phone company.
546
00:26:22,581 --> 00:26:24,375
Why? This is so much faster.
547
00:26:24,458 --> 00:26:28,170
Hello. I beg your pardon?
548
00:26:30,464 --> 00:26:31,966
Oh, I'm terribly sorry.
549
00:26:32,049 --> 00:26:33,342
I must have dialed the wrong number.
550
00:26:33,426 --> 00:26:35,469
Is this 5594?
551
00:26:37,346 --> 00:26:40,349
Oh, 5595.
552
00:26:40,433 --> 00:26:42,143
I do apologize.
553
00:26:43,602 --> 00:26:44,895
Now shall we try it my way?
554
00:26:45,938 --> 00:26:47,231
Why, lieutenant?
555
00:26:47,315 --> 00:26:48,941
I didn't dial the wrong number at all.
556
00:26:49,025 --> 00:26:51,360
I just wanted to make sure
I had the right number.
557
00:26:51,444 --> 00:26:53,529
5595.
558
00:26:53,612 --> 00:26:54,864
That was the home of state senator
559
00:26:54,947 --> 00:26:56,574
Andrew Grainger.
560
00:27:04,915 --> 00:27:06,625
Nothing made Jake Ballinger happier
561
00:27:06,709 --> 00:27:08,753
than to learn that state senator
Andrew Grainger
562
00:27:08,836 --> 00:27:10,254
was on the other end of that phone call
563
00:27:10,338 --> 00:27:11,630
from Janet Carr.
564
00:27:11,714 --> 00:27:13,257
Now at least he knew
565
00:27:13,341 --> 00:27:15,009
where the political pressure
was coming from,
566
00:27:15,092 --> 00:27:16,927
why he had been shipped off to Coventry,
567
00:27:17,011 --> 00:27:20,181
and who had managed to get
the court records sealed.
568
00:27:34,111 --> 00:27:35,363
Hey, buddy, you want to move it?
569
00:27:35,446 --> 00:27:37,073
We're trying to work here.
570
00:27:37,156 --> 00:27:38,366
-Good morning, Sir.
-Good morning, Berndlestein.
571
00:27:38,449 --> 00:27:40,159
Watch your feet, old-timer.
572
00:27:40,242 --> 00:27:41,911
Okay, up against the wall. Watch your end.
573
00:27:43,621 --> 00:27:47,375
Moira, this is lieutenant Ballinger.
574
00:27:47,458 --> 00:27:49,752
Oh, the teach! Hello, how are you?
575
00:27:49,835 --> 00:27:51,295
I'm Moira McShane.
576
00:27:51,379 --> 00:27:53,547
-It's nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you.
577
00:27:53,631 --> 00:27:55,925
The Dean sent me up.
I'm your new secretary.
578
00:27:57,009 --> 00:27:59,637
My shorthand's fantastic,
my typing's not bad.
579
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,556
I can give you three,
maybe four hours a day.
580
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:04,558
We'll work around my schedule.
581
00:28:04,642 --> 00:28:06,185
Fine.
582
00:28:06,268 --> 00:28:08,270
I made a list of what you'll need,
starting with phones.
583
00:28:08,354 --> 00:28:09,814
That usually takes about a week.
584
00:28:09,897 --> 00:28:11,357
Everything else takes longer,
585
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:12,525
unless you know which buttons to press.
586
00:28:12,608 --> 00:28:13,943
And I know.
587
00:28:14,026 --> 00:28:15,027
If anyone tries to push you around,
588
00:28:15,111 --> 00:28:17,154
you just refer them to me.
589
00:28:17,238 --> 00:28:18,781
Why don't you take your jacket off?
590
00:28:18,864 --> 00:28:20,032
We're gonna need some help
moving the bookcase.
591
00:28:20,908 --> 00:28:21,784
Why not?
592
00:28:22,827 --> 00:28:23,911
So, Berndlestein, did you get in touch
593
00:28:23,994 --> 00:28:25,037
with senator Grainger yet?
594
00:28:25,121 --> 00:28:26,414
No, Sir.
595
00:28:26,497 --> 00:28:27,415
I mean, I-- I called Sacramento,
596
00:28:27,498 --> 00:28:28,874
but he's not there, Sir.
597
00:28:28,958 --> 00:28:30,501
-Yeah?
-The legislature's in recess.
598
00:28:30,584 --> 00:28:31,919
He's down here working
out of his local office
599
00:28:32,002 --> 00:28:33,629
for the next couple of weeks.
600
00:28:33,712 --> 00:28:35,339
I thought you said
your name was "berndlesteen."
601
00:28:36,715 --> 00:28:37,716
I answer to anything.
602
00:28:40,010 --> 00:28:41,554
I am always delighted
603
00:28:41,637 --> 00:28:43,264
to meet a member
of the academic community.
604
00:28:43,389 --> 00:28:44,306
Welcome.
605
00:28:44,390 --> 00:28:45,933
-Please, sit down.
-Thanks.
606
00:28:46,016 --> 00:28:48,519
Is it doctor or professor or...
607
00:28:48,602 --> 00:28:50,396
Well, lieutenant will be just fine.
608
00:28:50,479 --> 00:28:51,397
-Lieutenant?
-Yeah.
609
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,524
I'm sorry, I...
610
00:28:53,607 --> 00:28:55,776
Ballinger, LAPD.
611
00:28:55,860 --> 00:28:58,070
I'm currently assigned
to Fremont University,
612
00:28:58,154 --> 00:28:59,864
teaching criminology.
613
00:28:59,947 --> 00:29:01,866
Sorry about the ruse, senator, but I--
614
00:29:01,949 --> 00:29:03,325
I thought if you really knew who I was,
615
00:29:03,409 --> 00:29:04,869
you wouldn't want to see me.
616
00:29:06,454 --> 00:29:07,913
But I have the greatest respect
617
00:29:07,997 --> 00:29:10,875
for law enforcement, lieutenant Ballinger.
618
00:29:10,958 --> 00:29:12,543
Look, senator,
619
00:29:12,626 --> 00:29:14,378
you're a busy man, and I'm a busy man.
620
00:29:14,462 --> 00:29:16,422
Suppose we cut to the Chase, huh?
621
00:29:16,505 --> 00:29:18,466
Tell me what you know about Janet Carr.
622
00:29:21,010 --> 00:29:22,553
Janet Carr...
623
00:29:24,096 --> 00:29:25,764
No, I'm sorry.
624
00:29:27,183 --> 00:29:29,226
Also known as Jeanette Cardini.
625
00:29:29,310 --> 00:29:31,395
Well, is she a constituent?
626
00:29:31,479 --> 00:29:33,397
Well, not exactly. She's dead.
627
00:29:33,481 --> 00:29:35,107
Senator.
628
00:29:35,191 --> 00:29:36,233
Oh, excuse me.
629
00:29:36,317 --> 00:29:37,902
No, no, Colin.
630
00:29:37,985 --> 00:29:39,320
This is Colin Hale,
my administrative assistant.
631
00:29:39,403 --> 00:29:40,696
This is lieutenant Ballinger.
632
00:29:40,779 --> 00:29:43,032
He's with the police.
633
00:29:43,115 --> 00:29:44,575
Police?
634
00:29:44,658 --> 00:29:46,285
Oh, I thought that you were...
635
00:29:46,368 --> 00:29:47,745
Oh, it's a long story.
636
00:29:47,828 --> 00:29:49,997
He was just asking me about a woman
637
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:51,707
by the name of Janet Carr.
638
00:29:51,790 --> 00:29:53,626
I'm afraid I wasn't much help.
639
00:29:53,709 --> 00:29:56,670
When it comes to names,
Colin's my encyclopedia.
640
00:29:56,754 --> 00:29:57,880
Ring a bell?
641
00:29:57,963 --> 00:30:00,966
Janet Carr-- no, not offhand.
642
00:30:01,050 --> 00:30:03,177
Must be a missing page
in the c volume, then,
643
00:30:03,260 --> 00:30:05,012
because, you see,
644
00:30:05,095 --> 00:30:08,641
last year miss Carr
gave birth to a baby boy.
645
00:30:08,724 --> 00:30:11,393
The night before the birth,
she made a phone call
646
00:30:11,477 --> 00:30:12,895
to your home in Sacramento, senator.
647
00:30:15,189 --> 00:30:16,440
You must be mistaken.
648
00:30:16,524 --> 00:30:17,942
No, I don't think so.
649
00:30:19,902 --> 00:30:20,945
I'm quite sure
650
00:30:21,028 --> 00:30:22,446
that I never spoke with that woman.
651
00:30:22,530 --> 00:30:23,739
Well, maybe you didn't.
652
00:30:28,661 --> 00:30:31,830
Oh. Your son, senator, hmm?
653
00:30:31,914 --> 00:30:33,249
Douglas?
654
00:30:33,332 --> 00:30:35,668
I understand he's a medical student.
655
00:30:35,751 --> 00:30:37,962
You seem to know
quite a bit about my family.
656
00:30:38,045 --> 00:30:41,382
Well, I was always good at homework.
657
00:30:41,465 --> 00:30:43,926
Senator, on the night of June the seventh,
658
00:30:44,009 --> 00:30:46,220
last year,
659
00:30:46,303 --> 00:30:49,056
was your son visiting or living
with you in Sacramento?
660
00:30:51,642 --> 00:30:52,810
I don't remember.
661
00:30:54,603 --> 00:30:57,147
And in any case,
it's none of your business.
662
00:30:58,732 --> 00:31:02,152
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I have a very busy morning.
663
00:31:04,029 --> 00:31:05,739
Fine.
664
00:31:05,823 --> 00:31:07,533
Maybe I can catch Douglas between classes
665
00:31:07,616 --> 00:31:08,742
at Fremont University.
666
00:31:13,289 --> 00:31:14,540
Lieutenant.
667
00:31:17,668 --> 00:31:20,296
You are a very hard man to get through to.
668
00:31:20,379 --> 00:31:22,256
Meaning what?
669
00:31:22,339 --> 00:31:24,049
Do I have to pull out a road map?
670
00:31:24,133 --> 00:31:26,218
You're not teaching
at the school by choice.
671
00:31:27,428 --> 00:31:29,847
Do yourself a favor. Back off.
672
00:31:31,557 --> 00:31:33,684
Sorry, but my engine
doesn't run in reverse.
673
00:31:35,352 --> 00:31:36,604
Have a good day.
674
00:31:43,193 --> 00:31:44,486
I'm sorry, senator.
675
00:31:44,570 --> 00:31:45,863
If I had known it was that Ballinger...
676
00:31:45,946 --> 00:31:48,324
Never mind, Colin, never mind.
677
00:31:48,407 --> 00:31:50,659
The case is supposed to be closed.
678
00:31:50,743 --> 00:31:52,244
It is, Sir, it is.
679
00:31:52,328 --> 00:31:55,205
Judge Riker had the court
records sealed last week.
680
00:31:55,289 --> 00:31:57,249
Then what's he doing here?
681
00:31:57,333 --> 00:31:59,835
Look, Douglas did not kill that woman
682
00:31:59,918 --> 00:32:01,378
any more than I did.
683
00:32:01,462 --> 00:32:03,047
And I will not have his future destroyed
684
00:32:03,130 --> 00:32:05,924
by one fleeting,
ill-considered relationship.
685
00:32:06,008 --> 00:32:07,801
Now, I want this case closed, Colin.
686
00:32:07,885 --> 00:32:09,136
Now!
687
00:32:19,188 --> 00:32:20,648
What the hell is all this about?
688
00:32:20,731 --> 00:32:22,066
I went ahead and ordered and everything
689
00:32:22,149 --> 00:32:23,067
'cause I'm in something of a hurry.
690
00:32:23,150 --> 00:32:24,652
Pull up a chair.
691
00:32:24,735 --> 00:32:26,695
My secretary took this charming message.
692
00:32:26,779 --> 00:32:27,988
"Tell Mrs. Mills to get her fanny
693
00:32:28,072 --> 00:32:29,990
over to Julio's cafe by 12:30."
694
00:32:30,074 --> 00:32:32,201
Yeah, well, after that,
it gets a little crowded.
695
00:32:32,284 --> 00:32:34,953
This place has fantastic jalapeno burgers.
696
00:32:35,037 --> 00:32:36,914
It just so happens that I had
a luncheon engagement today
697
00:32:36,997 --> 00:32:38,457
with a polished, witty...
698
00:32:38,540 --> 00:32:39,833
-Sophisticated gentleman.
-Yeah?
699
00:32:39,917 --> 00:32:40,834
He was going to take me to Spago's.
700
00:32:40,918 --> 00:32:43,462
Oh! Great. Oh, boy.
701
00:32:45,005 --> 00:32:49,343
Look, senator Grainger has a kid
by the name of Douglas.
702
00:32:51,303 --> 00:32:52,346
Second-year med student.
703
00:32:53,472 --> 00:32:56,725
Now, my nose tells me
that this kid's a party animal
704
00:32:56,809 --> 00:33:00,479
and the father of Janet Carr's kid.
705
00:33:00,562 --> 00:33:02,898
And maybe he even killed her,
for reasons unknown.
706
00:33:02,981 --> 00:33:05,943
That's an interesting theory,
but life with criminology 240
707
00:33:06,026 --> 00:33:08,612
is not a 24-hour-a-day career with me.
708
00:33:08,696 --> 00:33:10,030
Yeah, well,
709
00:33:10,114 --> 00:33:11,365
somebody's got to talk to the kid.
710
00:33:11,448 --> 00:33:12,783
You know, me, he'll be expecting.
711
00:33:12,866 --> 00:33:14,284
So what this needs is really somebody
712
00:33:14,368 --> 00:33:15,327
a little prettier, a little subtler...
713
00:33:15,411 --> 00:33:16,453
Berndlestein!
714
00:33:18,747 --> 00:33:20,833
Young Dr. Grainger has some class
715
00:33:20,916 --> 00:33:22,501
between 2:00 and 4:00,
716
00:33:22,584 --> 00:33:24,211
so probably you can
catch him coming out, huh?
717
00:33:24,294 --> 00:33:26,296
Thanks for the advice. Anything else?
718
00:33:26,380 --> 00:33:28,298
No, that's all.
You can go to your lunch now.
719
00:33:28,382 --> 00:33:30,843
-It's been canceled.
-Oh, that's too bad.
720
00:33:30,926 --> 00:33:33,971
Well, how do you feel
about jalapeno burgers?
721
00:33:34,054 --> 00:33:35,389
At the moment, about the same way
722
00:33:35,472 --> 00:33:36,849
I feel about over-opinionated,
723
00:33:36,932 --> 00:33:38,475
over-cholesteroled police lieutenants.
724
00:33:38,559 --> 00:33:39,852
I'll be in touch.
725
00:33:44,106 --> 00:33:45,566
Joe, I'm not pressuring you,
726
00:33:45,649 --> 00:33:47,735
and I'm not demanding a commitment.
727
00:33:48,819 --> 00:33:49,820
If you want to share an apartment with me
728
00:33:49,903 --> 00:33:51,405
in Westwood, that's fine.
729
00:33:52,698 --> 00:33:55,325
Right, 50-50, right down the middle.
730
00:33:55,409 --> 00:33:56,994
Rent, utilities.
731
00:33:57,077 --> 00:33:58,996
One bedroom is no problem.
732
00:34:00,748 --> 00:34:02,750
What do you mean, what'll my father think?
733
00:34:02,833 --> 00:34:04,418
Believe it or not,
734
00:34:04,501 --> 00:34:06,211
my father's not
some old-fashioned fuddy-duddy.
735
00:34:06,295 --> 00:34:08,672
Oh, no, I'm not old-fashioned.
I'm not a fuddy-duddy, no.
736
00:34:08,756 --> 00:34:12,426
Can we discuss this tomorrow? Fine.
737
00:34:12,509 --> 00:34:13,677
I'll call you.
738
00:34:15,971 --> 00:34:18,348
I love you, too. Bye.
739
00:34:20,809 --> 00:34:22,686
I cannot believe this man.
740
00:34:22,770 --> 00:34:23,937
He thinks, just because I love him,
741
00:34:24,021 --> 00:34:25,522
that I want to marry him.
742
00:34:25,606 --> 00:34:27,399
Gee, what an old-fashioned concept, huh?
743
00:34:28,942 --> 00:34:30,778
Dad, you're not going
to get all stuffy, are you?
744
00:34:30,861 --> 00:34:32,279
Who, me? You kidding?
745
00:34:34,615 --> 00:34:36,700
I can't stand my roommate.
746
00:34:36,784 --> 00:34:39,495
I can't afford another place on my own.
747
00:34:39,578 --> 00:34:41,205
Joe and I are in the same boat.
748
00:34:46,293 --> 00:34:51,089
Look, sweetheart,
if your mother were alive today,
749
00:34:51,173 --> 00:34:52,674
you two would have worked this out
750
00:34:52,758 --> 00:34:54,384
long before I knew about it.
751
00:34:54,468 --> 00:34:56,970
And she would have come to me,
talked me into it.
752
00:34:59,264 --> 00:35:01,308
Let's just say that we're
skipping the middleman, huh?
753
00:35:02,643 --> 00:35:04,520
Okay.
754
00:35:04,603 --> 00:35:07,731
When's the last time I told you
what a terrific dad you are?
755
00:35:07,815 --> 00:35:08,899
Oh, I don't know, about a month ago,
756
00:35:08,982 --> 00:35:10,943
but who's keeping track, huh?
757
00:35:12,236 --> 00:35:13,737
[doorbell rings]
758
00:35:13,821 --> 00:35:14,738
If that's Joe, he broke the sound barrier,
759
00:35:14,822 --> 00:35:15,823
I'll tell you that.
760
00:35:18,158 --> 00:35:19,910
I'm sorry to barge in on you, lieutenant.
761
00:35:19,993 --> 00:35:21,829
Did I catch you at a bad time?
762
00:35:21,912 --> 00:35:23,664
Oh, no, no. I...
763
00:35:23,747 --> 00:35:25,833
I'm sorry, I was just helping my daughter
764
00:35:25,916 --> 00:35:27,376
prepare some dinner.
765
00:35:27,459 --> 00:35:28,669
I just got through with Douglas Grainger.
766
00:35:28,752 --> 00:35:29,795
I thought you might like to know.
767
00:35:29,878 --> 00:35:31,797
Oh... oh, I'm sorry.
768
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:33,382
This is my daughter, Janie.
769
00:35:33,465 --> 00:35:34,758
Mrs. Mills, one of my students.
770
00:35:34,842 --> 00:35:36,885
-Hello.
-Hi, would you like to come in?
771
00:35:36,969 --> 00:35:38,887
-Yeah, please, come on in.
-Thanks.
772
00:35:38,971 --> 00:35:39,888
Would you like to stay for dinner?
773
00:35:39,972 --> 00:35:41,181
We have plenty.
774
00:35:41,265 --> 00:35:42,558
Oh, no, thanks, I really can't.
775
00:35:42,641 --> 00:35:43,559
I just need to talk to your father
776
00:35:43,642 --> 00:35:44,643
for a moment or two.
777
00:35:44,726 --> 00:35:46,270
Oh, sure. Excuse me.
778
00:35:48,772 --> 00:35:50,774
I'm really sorry to intrude, lieutenant.
779
00:35:50,858 --> 00:35:52,609
Well, come on and sit down.
780
00:35:52,693 --> 00:35:54,444
No, thanks, I can't stay, really.
781
00:35:54,528 --> 00:35:56,363
It's just as we thought.
782
00:35:56,446 --> 00:35:59,116
The senator's son was involved
with Janet Carr, intimately.
783
00:35:59,199 --> 00:36:00,492
He told you that?
784
00:36:00,576 --> 00:36:02,286
No, he denied it categorically.
785
00:36:02,369 --> 00:36:03,704
That's why I knew he was lying.
786
00:36:03,787 --> 00:36:05,289
Oh, you did?
787
00:36:05,372 --> 00:36:07,040
Lieutenant, I have been
an insurance investigator
788
00:36:07,124 --> 00:36:08,625
for almost 12 years.
789
00:36:08,709 --> 00:36:11,044
I have no difficulty
identifying horse puckey.
790
00:36:11,128 --> 00:36:13,088
Besides, I managed to chat
with a few of his friends.
791
00:36:13,171 --> 00:36:14,548
They filled in the gaps.
792
00:36:14,631 --> 00:36:15,757
Such as?
793
00:36:15,841 --> 00:36:17,134
A couple of years ago,
794
00:36:17,217 --> 00:36:18,927
he was seeing a model named Janet.
795
00:36:19,011 --> 00:36:21,013
They don't know the last name,
but the description fits.
796
00:36:21,096 --> 00:36:22,931
Okay, what else?
797
00:36:23,015 --> 00:36:25,809
One mean-spirited young lady,
a jilted ex-lover, I think,
798
00:36:25,893 --> 00:36:27,561
said that he was
having problems with Janet
799
00:36:27,644 --> 00:36:28,812
after they broke up.
800
00:36:28,896 --> 00:36:30,731
Money problems.
801
00:36:30,814 --> 00:36:32,482
Blackmail.
802
00:36:32,566 --> 00:36:33,650
Makes sense to me.
803
00:36:35,068 --> 00:36:36,445
Now we're getting somewhere.
804
00:36:36,528 --> 00:36:37,863
Maybe not.
805
00:36:37,946 --> 00:36:40,282
On July 19th, the day Janet was killed,
806
00:36:40,365 --> 00:36:41,950
Douglas Grainger was in Hawaii
807
00:36:42,034 --> 00:36:44,453
playing in a golf tournament
with his father.
808
00:36:45,954 --> 00:36:47,289
They came in third.
809
00:36:53,837 --> 00:36:55,547
"Thus high, by thy advice,
810
00:36:55,631 --> 00:36:59,134
"and thy assistance,
is King Richard seated:
811
00:36:59,217 --> 00:37:01,511
"but shall we wear these honors for a day?
812
00:37:01,595 --> 00:37:04,598
"Or shall they last,
and we rejoice in them?"
813
00:37:04,681 --> 00:37:06,433
Eh?
814
00:37:06,516 --> 00:37:09,436
"Still live they,
and for ever may they last!"
815
00:37:09,519 --> 00:37:12,105
"Oh! Buckingham, "now do I play the touch,
816
00:37:12,189 --> 00:37:15,943
"to try if thou be current gold indeed:
817
00:37:16,026 --> 00:37:18,278
"young Edward lives:
818
00:37:18,362 --> 00:37:20,697
"think now what I would say."
819
00:37:20,781 --> 00:37:22,783
"Say on, my loving Lord."
820
00:37:22,866 --> 00:37:24,785
"But Edward lives."
821
00:37:24,868 --> 00:37:26,870
"A true, Noble prince."
822
00:37:26,954 --> 00:37:29,331
"'True, Noble prince!'
823
00:37:29,414 --> 00:37:33,335
"Cousin, thou were not wont to be so dull:
824
00:37:33,418 --> 00:37:35,921
"shall I be plain?
825
00:37:36,004 --> 00:37:38,548
"I wish the bastards dead."
826
00:37:40,050 --> 00:37:43,637
Excuse me, Sir,
but what the hell was that?
827
00:37:45,013 --> 00:37:46,765
That is Richard III, my young gal.
828
00:37:46,848 --> 00:37:48,100
Shakespeare.
829
00:37:48,183 --> 00:37:49,768
Not a bad writer for an old guy, huh?
830
00:37:49,851 --> 00:37:51,186
Well, I don't care for his language.
831
00:37:52,437 --> 00:37:54,231
You see, Buckingham was slow,
832
00:37:54,314 --> 00:37:56,483
so Richard had to spell it out for him.
833
00:37:56,566 --> 00:37:57,943
Let me tell you something.
834
00:37:58,026 --> 00:38:00,320
There is nothing slow about Colin Hale.
835
00:38:00,404 --> 00:38:01,905
What are you saying, lieutenant?
836
00:38:01,989 --> 00:38:03,991
That Andrew Grainger hinted around to Hale
837
00:38:04,074 --> 00:38:05,617
that he wanted Janet Carr dead?
838
00:38:05,701 --> 00:38:07,077
I don't know if he hinted at it
839
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:08,829
or if he came right out and said it.
840
00:38:08,912 --> 00:38:11,123
But what the King wants, he usually gets.
841
00:38:11,206 --> 00:38:12,916
And when he has a groveling little toady
842
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:14,543
at his side, doing his bidding...
843
00:38:14,626 --> 00:38:18,005
Excuse me, Sir,
but we don't actually know.
844
00:38:18,088 --> 00:38:19,589
I mean, not for sure.
845
00:38:21,091 --> 00:38:22,968
But, Berndlestein,
846
00:38:23,051 --> 00:38:25,012
let me point out some facts to you, huh?
847
00:38:25,095 --> 00:38:26,972
Facts that I gathered this morning
848
00:38:27,055 --> 00:38:29,516
while you were busy
hustling tourists at lax.
849
00:38:29,599 --> 00:38:31,435
Fact.
850
00:38:31,518 --> 00:38:34,479
Colin Hale seldom, if ever,
leaves senator Grainger's side.
851
00:38:34,563 --> 00:38:36,773
Yet when Grainger
and his son flew to Hawaii
852
00:38:36,857 --> 00:38:39,192
for that fundraiser golf tournament,
853
00:38:39,276 --> 00:38:41,611
Colin Hale flew to Los Angeles instead.
854
00:38:41,695 --> 00:38:43,613
He stayed at the Concord Plaza Inn,
855
00:38:43,697 --> 00:38:45,574
one night at the airport.
856
00:38:45,657 --> 00:38:47,784
It was the same night
Janet Carr was killed.
857
00:38:47,868 --> 00:38:50,203
Now, he also rented a car.
858
00:38:50,287 --> 00:38:53,081
Now, there's no indication
of where he went,
859
00:38:53,165 --> 00:38:55,042
but if you want an educated guess,
860
00:38:55,125 --> 00:38:56,418
I'd be willing to bet
861
00:38:56,501 --> 00:38:58,045
that he went to Janet Carr's house
862
00:38:58,128 --> 00:39:00,714
on the pretext of paying her off,
863
00:39:00,797 --> 00:39:02,382
drove her to the beach...
864
00:39:02,466 --> 00:39:04,009
Lieutenant, that's
a great deal of supposition.
865
00:39:04,092 --> 00:39:05,510
It's hardly a case.
866
00:39:05,594 --> 00:39:07,971
Well, no, not yet. But it soon will be.
867
00:39:09,514 --> 00:39:11,391
-Berndlestein?
-Sir?
868
00:39:11,475 --> 00:39:14,394
I have an assignment
for which you and only you
869
00:39:14,478 --> 00:39:16,813
are uniquely qualified.
870
00:39:16,897 --> 00:39:19,483
Colin Hale's rental car.
871
00:39:19,566 --> 00:39:22,277
I want you to identify it and rent it.
872
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:25,197
Not a clone, not a look-alike,
873
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:27,491
but the exact same car.
874
00:39:27,574 --> 00:39:29,201
Yes, Sir.
875
00:39:29,284 --> 00:39:32,537
But how do I find out which one?
I mean, who do I talk to?
876
00:39:32,621 --> 00:39:34,206
Berndlestein, you're a reasonably
877
00:39:34,289 --> 00:39:35,707
attractive young man.
878
00:39:35,791 --> 00:39:37,459
Not to me,
879
00:39:37,542 --> 00:39:40,170
but certainly to one of those
nubile young things
880
00:39:40,253 --> 00:39:42,339
who toss that frozen smile at you
881
00:39:42,422 --> 00:39:44,674
from across the car rental counter, huh?
882
00:39:44,758 --> 00:39:47,219
Come on, use your imagination.
883
00:39:47,302 --> 00:39:51,389
I want you to drive it
posthaste to this address.
884
00:39:53,558 --> 00:39:55,143
Yes, Sir.
885
00:39:59,815 --> 00:40:02,067
-What about me?
-You?
886
00:40:02,150 --> 00:40:05,237
You go to the hardware store.
887
00:40:14,329 --> 00:40:17,749
So? What am I, chopped liver?
888
00:40:17,833 --> 00:40:20,752
Look, McShane, these people
do this for nothing.
889
00:40:20,836 --> 00:40:21,837
You, I have to pay.
890
00:40:35,350 --> 00:40:38,770
Lieutenant, how much longer
do I have to keep doing this?
891
00:40:38,854 --> 00:40:39,855
Until it's ready.
892
00:40:41,690 --> 00:40:43,608
You wouldn't like
to change jobs, would you?
893
00:40:46,278 --> 00:40:47,779
Didn't think so.
894
00:40:47,863 --> 00:40:48,864
[car horn honking]
895
00:40:54,202 --> 00:40:56,121
I got it, Sir. This is the baby.
896
00:40:56,204 --> 00:40:57,706
You're sure this is the car, now?
897
00:40:57,789 --> 00:40:58,999
-Oh, this is it, all right.
-No question?
898
00:40:59,082 --> 00:41:01,293
No question.
899
00:41:01,376 --> 00:41:02,878
Sweet little gal behind
the counter, Betty Lou...
900
00:41:02,961 --> 00:41:03,920
-Yeah?
-It was just like you told me--
901
00:41:04,004 --> 00:41:05,338
I couldn't believe it.
902
00:41:05,422 --> 00:41:06,506
She even gave me this computer printout
903
00:41:06,590 --> 00:41:08,008
from the night of the murder.
904
00:41:08,091 --> 00:41:09,759
Model identification number, right here.
905
00:41:09,843 --> 00:41:10,802
I popped the hood and I checked it
906
00:41:10,886 --> 00:41:12,095
before I drove out.
907
00:41:13,972 --> 00:41:15,557
Nice work, Mr. Berndlestein.
908
00:41:16,933 --> 00:41:18,351
Thank you, Sir.
909
00:41:18,435 --> 00:41:19,936
Okay, now, get behind the wheel.
910
00:41:20,020 --> 00:41:21,313
Mrs. Mills, you're finished.
911
00:41:22,272 --> 00:41:24,232
Thank you so much.
912
00:41:24,316 --> 00:41:26,151
Okay, come on, come ahead, now.
913
00:41:26,234 --> 00:41:27,944
A little over... whoa, whoa, go, go.
914
00:41:28,028 --> 00:41:29,654
Come, come, come, come, come, come.
915
00:41:29,738 --> 00:41:31,781
Come, come, easy, come.
916
00:41:31,865 --> 00:41:34,075
Come, come, come, whoa!
917
00:41:34,159 --> 00:41:35,827
Now, back off nice and easy.
918
00:41:35,911 --> 00:41:39,998
Back off, back off, go ahead,
go ahead, go ahead.
919
00:41:40,081 --> 00:41:41,625
Go ahead. Whoa!
920
00:41:44,211 --> 00:41:46,338
It's a work of art, a work of art.
921
00:41:46,421 --> 00:41:48,340
Excuse me, lieutenant, if I seem dense,
922
00:41:48,423 --> 00:41:51,009
but what are we doing here?
923
00:41:51,092 --> 00:41:53,887
We're making a cast of this tire track.
924
00:41:53,970 --> 00:41:56,848
Believe it or not, this much I grasp.
925
00:41:56,932 --> 00:41:58,558
Why?
926
00:41:58,642 --> 00:42:00,810
Mrs. Mills, you are aware
that a cast of a tire tread
927
00:42:00,894 --> 00:42:02,270
was made at the scene
928
00:42:02,354 --> 00:42:03,396
of Janet Carr's murder, aren't you?
929
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:04,981
Yes.
930
00:42:05,065 --> 00:42:06,524
I'm also aware that the cast,
931
00:42:06,608 --> 00:42:07,692
along with all the other evidence,
932
00:42:07,776 --> 00:42:08,902
has been sealed by the court.
933
00:42:10,278 --> 00:42:12,405
Yeah, that's the way it seemed
the last time we looked.
934
00:42:14,950 --> 00:42:16,952
Yeah, I think you can expect
pretty solid support
935
00:42:17,035 --> 00:42:18,745
from the northern counties, senator.
936
00:42:18,828 --> 00:42:21,581
The big question marks
are San Diego and Los Angeles.
937
00:42:21,665 --> 00:42:22,707
And the speaker.
938
00:42:22,791 --> 00:42:24,042
Without his support,
939
00:42:24,125 --> 00:42:25,252
there's no sense in making the run.
940
00:42:26,836 --> 00:42:28,380
Oh, excuse me for busting in, gentlemen.
941
00:42:28,463 --> 00:42:29,756
I'm sorry, senator.
942
00:42:29,839 --> 00:42:31,383
He passed me before I could stop him.
943
00:42:31,466 --> 00:42:33,343
That's all right, Ruth,
I'll call security.
944
00:42:33,426 --> 00:42:34,844
Yeah, you do that, Mr. Hale.
945
00:42:34,928 --> 00:42:36,638
And while you're at it, call the LAPD
946
00:42:36,721 --> 00:42:38,348
and tell them to bring
a Paddy wagon for two, huh?
947
00:42:38,431 --> 00:42:40,642
Now, what is that supposed to mean?
948
00:42:40,725 --> 00:42:43,603
It means, sweet prince,
that the play is over.
949
00:42:44,604 --> 00:42:46,231
It's time for the last curtain call
950
00:42:46,314 --> 00:42:49,985
before they cart you away
to your next engagement,
951
00:42:50,068 --> 00:42:53,697
ten to 20 in San Quentin
for aiding and abetting a felon,
952
00:42:53,780 --> 00:42:57,742
not to mention conspiracy
to obstruct justice.
953
00:42:57,826 --> 00:43:00,328
What the hell are you
talking about, Ballinger?
954
00:43:00,412 --> 00:43:01,830
I'm talking about murder.
955
00:43:01,913 --> 00:43:03,790
The cold-blooded, premeditated murder
956
00:43:03,873 --> 00:43:06,376
of a girl named Janet Carr on a beach
957
00:43:06,459 --> 00:43:07,794
a few months ago.
958
00:43:07,877 --> 00:43:09,587
A murder committed by you...
959
00:43:11,798 --> 00:43:13,300
with the full knowledge and consent
960
00:43:13,383 --> 00:43:14,759
of the man you work for.
961
00:43:15,844 --> 00:43:19,639
Are you out of your mind?
Colin, call security.
962
00:43:19,723 --> 00:43:24,853
That night, you rented a car
from the Campbell rent-a-car,
963
00:43:24,936 --> 00:43:29,941
engine number 36548798.
964
00:43:30,025 --> 00:43:32,110
The police lab made a plaster cast
965
00:43:32,193 --> 00:43:34,404
of a tire tread found
at the scene of the crime.
966
00:43:38,575 --> 00:43:41,411
Where did you get that?
Those records were sealed.
967
00:43:41,494 --> 00:43:42,871
Why?
968
00:43:42,954 --> 00:43:43,997
You were afraid that the trail would lead
969
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:45,290
right back to you, huh--
970
00:43:45,373 --> 00:43:46,833
And the senator.
971
00:43:46,916 --> 00:43:47,834
Yeah, I guess it could get a little messy,
972
00:43:47,917 --> 00:43:49,210
couldn't it, huh?
973
00:43:49,294 --> 00:43:51,838
Gubernatorial election coming up.
974
00:43:51,921 --> 00:43:54,799
Colin, what's he talking about?
975
00:43:54,883 --> 00:43:57,344
I really don't know, Sir. I don't know.
976
00:43:57,427 --> 00:43:59,179
You're wasting my time, Mr. Hale.
977
00:44:00,597 --> 00:44:02,974
Your signature was all over
that car rental agreement.
978
00:44:03,058 --> 00:44:04,851
You even took out extra insurance.
979
00:44:04,934 --> 00:44:06,478
Now, you shouldn't
have done that, you know.
980
00:44:06,561 --> 00:44:09,397
That's really a rip-off.
And then there is this.
981
00:44:09,481 --> 00:44:11,608
The plaster cast of a tire tread
from that car.
982
00:44:11,691 --> 00:44:14,110
A fact that I will happily,
983
00:44:14,194 --> 00:44:16,613
very happily, swear to at your trial.
984
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:21,242
Colin, is this the truth?
985
00:44:22,369 --> 00:44:23,370
Colin!
986
00:44:28,583 --> 00:44:29,876
Somebody had to stop her.
987
00:44:29,959 --> 00:44:31,086
I mean, you know what she was doing.
988
00:44:31,169 --> 00:44:32,837
She was blackmailing your son.
989
00:44:32,921 --> 00:44:34,506
I mean, if that had come out
during the election...
990
00:44:34,589 --> 00:44:38,218
you killed that girl?
You murdered that girl?
991
00:44:38,301 --> 00:44:41,179
Yes! Yes, I killed her!
I had the guts to do it!
992
00:44:42,430 --> 00:44:44,099
While you were wringing your hands,
993
00:44:44,182 --> 00:44:46,226
hands you didn't want to
get dirty, remember, senator?
994
00:44:46,309 --> 00:44:48,019
You know, nine years ago,
when I put in with you,
995
00:44:48,103 --> 00:44:49,646
I thought we were going somewhere.
996
00:44:49,729 --> 00:44:51,314
And then when you finally decide
to make your move,
997
00:44:51,398 --> 00:44:53,608
your son screwed up everything!
998
00:44:54,984 --> 00:44:56,361
I should have known. I should have known.
999
00:45:00,198 --> 00:45:01,533
You're a loser, Grainger.
1000
00:45:03,201 --> 00:45:05,286
You've always been a loser, you know that?
1001
00:45:08,832 --> 00:45:11,584
Hello, honey? Better call in security.
1002
00:45:11,668 --> 00:45:15,296
Tell them they've got some--
some trash to haul away.
1003
00:45:18,967 --> 00:45:20,552
[knocking at door]
1004
00:45:20,635 --> 00:45:21,970
Yeah, come on.
1005
00:45:23,304 --> 00:45:26,015
Congratulations and welcome back.
1006
00:45:26,099 --> 00:45:28,226
You did it. I don't know how you did it.
1007
00:45:28,309 --> 00:45:30,145
-Good to see you.
-Thanks.
1008
00:45:30,228 --> 00:45:32,230
I just left Leo Gunderson and his mother.
1009
00:45:32,313 --> 00:45:33,606
Oh, really? How is she?
1010
00:45:33,690 --> 00:45:35,024
Oh, no, she's fine, she's fine,
1011
00:45:35,108 --> 00:45:36,860
now that Leo's been cleared, you know.
1012
00:45:36,943 --> 00:45:38,570
Well, you ready to go to work?
1013
00:45:38,653 --> 00:45:39,696
Huh?
1014
00:45:39,779 --> 00:45:40,947
You know me, Joe.
1015
00:45:41,030 --> 00:45:42,157
[phone ringing]
1016
00:45:44,784 --> 00:45:45,952
Rawlings.
1017
00:45:46,953 --> 00:45:48,580
Yeah, he's here. Just a second.
1018
00:45:48,663 --> 00:45:49,664
-It's for you.
-For me?
1019
00:45:52,500 --> 00:45:55,003
Thanks, Joe. Yeah, Ballinger here.
1020
00:45:56,838 --> 00:45:58,089
What?
1021
00:45:59,340 --> 00:46:00,341
What?
1022
00:46:01,509 --> 00:46:02,510
What?
1023
00:46:05,972 --> 00:46:08,766
Excuse me, but didn't you get the message?
1024
00:46:08,850 --> 00:46:10,518
Class is suspended indefinitely
1025
00:46:10,602 --> 00:46:13,855
until the department
can appoint my replacement.
1026
00:46:13,938 --> 00:46:15,857
We don't want a replacement, lieutenant.
1027
00:46:15,940 --> 00:46:17,734
We intend to learn from you.
1028
00:46:17,817 --> 00:46:19,944
Well, I don't intend
to teach you anything,
1029
00:46:20,028 --> 00:46:21,821
I mean, even if I could, which I doubt.
1030
00:46:21,905 --> 00:46:23,448
Yes, we understand
1031
00:46:23,531 --> 00:46:25,200
that you're not a professionally
trained educator,
1032
00:46:25,283 --> 00:46:28,119
but we're willing to overlook
your shortcomings,
1033
00:46:28,203 --> 00:46:30,079
at least for a while.
1034
00:46:30,163 --> 00:46:32,665
Berndlestein, don't you have
anything better to do, huh?
1035
00:46:33,791 --> 00:46:34,792
No, Sir.
1036
00:46:36,711 --> 00:46:39,088
Look, folks, look.
I just don't have the time.
1037
00:46:39,172 --> 00:46:40,840
Of course you do.
1038
00:46:40,924 --> 00:46:42,967
Three hours a week,
a little lecture now and then,
1039
00:46:43,051 --> 00:46:44,594
a minimum of homework.
1040
00:46:44,677 --> 00:46:46,763
Besides, what other detective on the force
1041
00:46:46,846 --> 00:46:49,432
has three legpersons
working for him for free?
1042
00:46:51,059 --> 00:46:52,769
Free?
1043
00:46:52,852 --> 00:46:55,939
For secretarial work,
I charge a minimum wage.
1044
00:46:56,022 --> 00:46:59,484
Anything else, I throw in
'cause I got a big heart.
1045
00:47:01,444 --> 00:47:02,779
Now, look, folks...
1046
00:47:02,862 --> 00:47:04,239
you should also know, lieutenant,
1047
00:47:04,322 --> 00:47:06,074
that in the event you decide to ignore
1048
00:47:06,157 --> 00:47:08,159
your previously-agreed-to
commitment to this class
1049
00:47:08,243 --> 00:47:10,286
and abrogate the implied contract
1050
00:47:10,370 --> 00:47:12,455
that existed ipso facto between you,
1051
00:47:12,539 --> 00:47:14,457
as a representative of Fremont University,
1052
00:47:14,541 --> 00:47:17,293
and us as students,
we intend to take legal action
1053
00:47:17,377 --> 00:47:19,546
to obtain redress and enforce compliance.
1054
00:47:21,047 --> 00:47:22,966
What, are you a lawyer, too?
1055
00:47:23,049 --> 00:47:25,009
I have my degree, lieutenant.
1056
00:47:25,093 --> 00:47:26,761
But don't let that intimidate you.
1057
00:47:30,223 --> 00:47:32,850
Okay, folks. You want an education?
1058
00:47:34,185 --> 00:47:35,520
I'm gonna give you one.
1059
00:47:36,729 --> 00:47:39,190
But if things get too tough,
you just say the word, huh?
1060
00:47:39,274 --> 00:47:41,943
Funny, lieutenant,
that word just leapt to mind.
1061
00:47:42,026 --> 00:47:44,779
But I'm too much of a lady
to use it in mixed company.
