All language subtitles for Federal Operator 99 - S01E12 - The Case of the Musical Clue

It's too bad Belmont escaped, but at
least I captured Farrell. Farrell? Yes,

I left him at Morello's hotel, handcuffed.

So I'll have to fix this tire and
hurry back before Belmont gets to him.

Losing that Stradivarius
violin was bad enough.

But having Farrell
captured by Blake was even worse.

That's right. We need Farrell.

Yes, I know.

I'll free him as soon as possible.

But I can't make any plans until I
know what Blake intends to do with him.

You can't very well walk
into his office and ask him.

No.

But I can let him sit there and tell
us everything we want to know. Water?

Oh, yes, over there.

Did you get any information from Farrell?

No, but I found this in his pocket.

I'm quite certain it's the
key to a post office box.

And if that's where Belmont gets
his mail, we're on the right track.

Joyce, will you take this
key to the postmaster and see

if he can tell you which
post office branch issued it?

All right. That's the last
time we'll use that post office.

Supposing they can't
locate that box for Joyce.

Then we'll have agents watch
every post office in the city.

My dear, this is a wonderful
opportunity for us to get Joyce Kingston.

With her in my hands, I can
force Blake to release Farrell.

We'll simply exchange prisoners.

That's smart thinking, Jim.

Hello?

This is Blake.

Rita Parker?

Listen carefully, Blake. We're
holding your secretary a prisoner,

and if you want to save her life, you'll
have to release Farrell within two hours.

Let Joyce come to the phone, so
I'll know if you're telling the truth.

I think I can convince you without that.

We got her as she came out
of the post office building

with that key. Now, do you believe me?

Maybe.

Remember, you have
just two hours to decide.

And by the way, don't waste time having
agents watch the post office branches.

We won't be using the mails from now on.

Wait a minute.

She hung up.

Belmont's holding Joyce a prisoner and
threatens her life unless we release Farrell.

How do you know? From what Rita
Parker said on the telephone.

We've got to get Belmont now.

Let's question Farrell once
more. He won't talk, Jerry.

Well, it's worth a try. Come on.

I got it.

How did you ever guess
there was a dictaphone in here?

Because Rita spoke of my agents
watching the post office branches.

And I didn't mention it
until after Joyce had left.

Here, open it up. See what type it is.

See what range it has.
Anything that will give us a clue.

I know this type well.

It has a range of only four blocks.

There's a lot of buildings
within an area of four blocks square.

Wait a minute.

Look, see this little loop?

It's a directional area.

What position did you find this gadget in?

Like that. It's pointing to the north.

That means whoever was listening to us is
within an area four blocks to the north.

This is our district. Let's
see what's north of here.

The mid-city park takes up three blocks,

but that leaves only one block
of buildings to cover. Yeah,

those buildings are a
department store, a row

of small shops, And on
this corner, a theater.

The old Velasco. But that's
been closed for two years.

And that's exactly where I think
we'll find Belmont's headquarters.

Belmont himself in this
district? He'd be just like him.

He's very daring and
always does the unexpected.

I'm gonna take a look at that theater.

Someone's tinkering
with the piano backstage.

Put her in the closet
and then get out of sight.

Toss your gun away, Blake.

Miss Kingston's already here.

Before I ring down the
curtain on you, Blake,

I would like to know how
you found your way here.

By the way, haven't you forgotten Farrell?

I thought you wanted to
exchange him for Miss Kingston.

Bring him in, boys.

When Jim Belmont fired at me, his
bullets went through the closet door.

I heard a scream and a fall.

Later, when I opened the
door, she was lying there, dead.

It was tough luck for her.

It would have been worse luck for me if
Rita hadn't hidden herself in the closet.

She was standing directly in front of
me when Belmont fired through the door.

She got the final
payoff from her own boss.

In the final analysis, even
Jim Belmont wasn't so smart.

He could easily have been a leader among
men if he'd picked an honest profession.

Instead of that, all he
gets is a police burial.

This is the entire file on
the Jim Belmont and Associates.

Mark it, case closed.
