00:01:06They say you have something for me.
00:01:08Nobody knows about this, right?
00:01:11Don't be paranoid on me, man.
00:01:13Hey, they find out I even talked to you. I've had it.
00:01:15What do you got?
00:01:18This should square things with us.
00:01:21This month's issue comes out tomorrow.
00:01:23His restaurant review is on page 26.
00:01:28You're next.
00:01:37Ghostly gourmet.
00:01:42Damn.
00:01:43Hit that job.

00:03:30Who is it?
00:03:32It's me!
00:03:53Patrick?
00:04:02Patrick?
00:04:02Patrick, what is it?
00:04:04Patrick!
00:04:05Patrick!
00:04:07Patrick!
00:04:07Patrick!
00:04:09Patrick!
00:04:11Patrick!
00:04:15Patrick!
00:04:37Patrick!
00:05:07Patrick.
00:05:21Patrick.
00:05:22Ma'am.
00:05:23Uh, Round it up please?
00:05:24That's your credit.
00:05:25Credit card.
00:05:37The rear tower looks like it's about to go.
00:05:43I'm going to check your spare.
00:05:45Um, wait.
00:05:48Look, I'm in a really big hurry.
00:05:51How much do I owe you?
00:05:52But you're not full yet.
00:05:54That's all right.
00:05:54Just, uh, keep exchange, okay?
00:05:57You got it.
00:06:07You got it.
00:06:37You got it.
00:07:07I'm telling you, I don't know anything about his murder.
00:07:14But you do know Judge Patrick Hartman.
00:07:17I know him slightly.
00:07:20Can you explain what you were doing driving around the area where his body was found last night?
00:07:25The filling station attendant gave us a license number of your car that he wrote on the credit card slip before you drove away in such a hurry.
00:07:32I just, uh, I went out for a drive.
00:07:35I don't really know where I was.
00:07:36I was just driving around.
00:07:37Judge Hartman's key ring was found on the floor in your apartment.
00:07:42One of those keys unlocks your door.
00:07:44Do you have an attorney?
00:07:48Yeah, well, I can say, unequivocally.
00:07:52She did not do it.
00:07:53The neighbors reported hearing what sounded like gunshots coming from the floor of her apartment at about nine o'clock.
00:08:00The lab says bloodstains on the carpet, the robe, and the trunk of her car are a dead match.
00:08:06She couldn't have done it.
00:08:07Not possible.
00:08:09Until you come up with something bad, I'm arresting her for murder.
00:08:12The lawyer's here.
00:08:18Jeffrey, I didn't kill him, I swear.
00:08:21Please blame me, I didn't kill him.
00:08:22I know, I know you didn't.
00:08:23Just don't worry.
00:08:25I'll take care of everything.
00:08:36Hey, Juliet.
00:08:38Hey, Ray.
00:08:39How we doing?
00:08:39Looks like it's going to be slow for tonight and tomorrow.
00:08:44Glad you're the owner, not me.
00:08:48Where's Uncle Phil?
00:08:49Well, I don't know, man, but I gotta go.
00:08:51I'm gonna be late for class.
00:08:52He's supposed to be managing this place.
00:08:56Hey, Uncle Phil.
00:08:58Hello there.
00:09:00Uncle Phil.
00:09:01Yep.
00:09:02Hey, uh, why are you wearing that blue suit?
00:09:04Since when does it have to be an occasion for me to look good?
00:09:10Man, where have you been?
00:09:12You're late.
00:09:13The lunch crowd's about to come in here.
00:09:14Oh, I had to get a haircut.
00:09:16Is that cologne that smell?
00:09:18Yeah.
00:09:19Made in Taiwan.
00:09:21Uh-huh.
00:09:22You like it?
00:09:23You'll have to.
00:09:23Hey, have you read this issue of Faye magazine?
00:09:29You should read what that critic wrote about the downtown grill.
00:09:35Downtown grill is a gastronomic disaster.
00:09:39Right.
00:09:40Ooh, wee.
00:09:42This brother can be cruel.
00:09:43Mm-hmm.
00:09:44The Ghostly Gourmet.
00:09:47Why does he call himself that?
00:09:48Well, that's because he or she could snoop around a restaurant without being discovered.
00:09:52And guess what?
00:09:53He or she is going to review this restaurant and next month's issue.
00:09:57So we got to get on the stick.
00:09:58I'm going to alert the staff.
00:10:03All right.
00:10:03Listen up, everybody.
00:10:06Ghostly Gourmet is on his way here.
00:10:08Oh, man.
00:10:10I was at the Parthenon when it got reviewed.
00:10:13Business got real slow and some of us got laid off.
00:10:16Now, I don't want you to do anything special.
00:10:19Just keep on your toes and do your thing.
00:10:21We do our thing here.
00:10:22We have nothing to worry about.
00:10:23All right?
00:10:24Hey, look who just came in.
00:10:27Hey, Donna, go to us.
00:10:29My favorite paralegal.
00:10:30How's Jeffrey Winslow treating you?
00:10:32Oh, fine.
00:10:33Mostly.
00:10:33He asked me to come over here and find out why he hasn't been returning his phone calls.
00:10:36Oh, not returning his calls.
00:10:40Were those phone calls about jobs?
00:10:43The Christina Parker case.
00:10:44He's already assigned me to work with you, Ray, and I've done all my research.
00:10:47I'm ready to go.
00:10:47Look, now, Donna, I must have missed those calls.
00:10:49But you told Mr. Winslow that I'm much too busy.
00:10:51I got a lot of things to do here.
00:10:52Just a minute, Donna.
00:10:55Of course you're too busy here and you got a lot of stuff to do,
00:10:57like fix that old refrigerator before it breaks down completely,
00:11:01like get us some new glassware before it runs out,
00:11:03and for God's sakes, fix that air conditioner
00:11:06before we all get broiled black in here.
00:11:09But you said you like this place funky.
00:11:11Funky is one thing, bankruptcy is another.
00:11:14Mr. Winslow has plenty of money, and that's exactly what we need.
00:11:17So you just hustle yourself on over there and get us some.
00:11:22Donna, you may tell Mr. Winslow that Mr. Alexander has already left.
00:11:27He should be arriving any minute now, any second.
00:11:31You notice things haven't changed around here.
00:11:34Bye.
00:11:35I had met Patrick about two years ago.
00:11:40My fiancé had just broken off our engagement,
00:11:42and I wasn't feeling too good about myself.
00:11:45Patrick was very kind and thoughtful and attractive.
00:11:51I never actually thought I would have an affair with a married man, but...
00:11:56Anyway, we both knew there was no future in it.
00:12:00I mean, he'd been married 20 years.
00:12:02His kids were in college.
00:12:04His wife was a devout Catholic, so...
00:12:08I had had a roommate at the time, so we would go to hotels.
00:12:13But he was afraid he'd be seen, so we got an apartment.
00:12:19Did he pay the rent?
00:12:22Look, I know how this must look to you,
00:12:24but I was going to pay him back.
00:12:26Oh, really?
00:12:27How did you plan to do that?
00:12:29Well, I don't make much money modeling just expenses, really,
00:12:33but I'm studying fashion design,
00:12:36and when I got a real job, I was going to...
00:12:38Look, what is the difference, anyway?
00:12:40No one is going to believe me.
00:12:42Hey, I might.
00:12:44Did he give you money?
00:12:46He loaned it to me, yes, when I needed it.
00:12:50Tell me, why did you move the body?
00:12:51I didn't want him to be found in my apartment,
00:12:55so it would avoid a scandal.
00:12:58So his wife and kids wouldn't have to go through
00:13:00what they're obviously going to have to go through now.
00:13:03You saw the paper.
00:13:04Oh, yeah.
00:13:06Judge murdered in mistress's apartment.
00:13:09I didn't help myself much, did I?
00:13:11No, you didn't.
00:13:12And the judge didn't deserve it, either.
00:13:14He was a good man.
00:13:15You knew him?
00:13:16Oh, yeah.
00:13:17I was in a little bit of trouble a little while back,
00:13:20and the judge, along with Jeffrey Winslow,
00:13:22got me a new trial, and I was acquitted.
00:13:24I sure would like to catch up with the person
00:13:26who did this to him.
00:13:28By the way, I don't think you did it.
00:13:33How's it going?
00:13:34Getting acquainted.
00:13:36Good.
00:13:38I just arranged for your mail.
00:13:41Now, we've got a couple of stops to make,
00:13:42so I'll meet you both downstairs.
00:13:45Now, Ray's the best.
00:13:46You couldn't possibly be in better hands.
00:13:48Second ownership of the counselor here, of course.
00:13:49I'm very grateful to both.
00:13:51Ah, pleasure, pleasure.
00:13:53What do you got?
00:13:55You know, it's the prosecution's theory
00:13:57that it was either a crime of passion,
00:13:59or you were afraid to see your meal ticket go away.
00:14:02Patrick and I hadn't even been lovers
00:14:03for the last six months.
00:14:06We both thought it would be better
00:14:07if we were just friends.
00:14:09I really cared about him.
00:14:10I would never do anything to harm him.
00:14:12Do you know anybody who would?
00:14:14No.
00:14:14Did he mention any problems he might be having?
00:14:19He was having some financial problems
00:14:22with some man named, um, Darnell.
00:14:25Yeah, he called him a couple of times from my place.
00:14:28Darnell, do you know his first name?
00:14:30No.
00:14:31Yes, I do.
00:14:32It's, um, Frank.
00:14:34He said he would see him again on Wednesday night,
00:14:38as usual.
00:14:39See him when?
00:14:40I don't know.
00:14:41I don't know.
00:14:42I'm going to see.
00:14:48Look at him.
00:14:49Vultures.
00:14:50I don't think there's any need for you
00:14:52to subject yourself to this.
00:14:54I'll handle it.
00:14:55Oh, by the way,
00:14:56have you ever heard of a person
00:14:57by the name of Frank Darnell?
00:14:59Yes, he's a defense lawyer of sorts.
00:15:00No, I don't think you like working for him, Ray.
00:15:07He doesn't have any style.
00:15:12Where's Channel 6?
00:15:14Can you open the door for us, please?
00:15:15Hey, Parker, Parker, take care of you.
00:15:18Hey, Parker, take care of you.
00:15:18Hey, Parker, take care of you.
00:15:19Hey, Parker, take care of you.
00:15:19Hey, Parker, take care of you.
00:15:20Hey, Parker, take care of you.
00:15:21Hey, Parker, take care of you.
00:15:22Hey, Parker, take care of you.
00:15:23Hey, Parker, take care of you.
00:15:24Hey, Parker, take care of you.
00:15:25Hey, Parker, take care of you.
00:15:26Hey, Parker, take care of you.
00:15:27Hey, Parker, take care of you.
00:15:28Hey, Parker, take care of you.
00:15:29Hey, Parker, take care of you.
00:15:30Hey, Parker, take care of you.
00:15:31Hey, Parker, take care of you.
00:15:32Hey, Parker, take care of you.
00:15:33Hey, Parker, take care of you.
00:15:34Hey, Parker, take care of you.
00:15:45Hello.
00:15:48Hello.
00:15:50I believe I had an appointment with Mr. Darnell.
00:15:53Ray Alexander.
00:15:55He'll be right out.
00:15:57Want a coffee or something?
00:15:58Not just now.
00:16:00So, why don't you give some more thought to who might corroborate your story
00:16:04and then give me a call, okay?
00:16:08Hi, I'm Frank.
00:16:10Hi. Come on in.
00:16:15I'm here on behalf of Jeffrey Winslow.
00:16:20You mean the great Jeffrey Winslow.
00:16:25Mr. Winslow is representing Judge Hartman's estate.
00:16:28Oh, I'm sure he is.
00:16:30I'm sorry. If I sound a little bit envious, well, I am.
00:16:33I'm out in the street helping the little guy protect his constitutional rights
00:16:37while hothouse lawyers like Winslow are grabbing all the glory,
00:16:40not to mention the big money.
00:16:42Sit down.
00:16:42Listen, if you're really defending somebody who can't help themselves,
00:16:48you're lucky if you ever see a nickel for him.
00:16:50Well, this may be your lucky day, Counselor,
00:16:52because I'm here to find out if the judge had any outstanding gambling debts.
00:16:56We know about your Wednesday night poker game.
00:16:59Oh.
00:17:00Well, no. No. The judge always paid promptly.
00:17:03Well, if there's any openings, I sure would like to sit in.
00:17:07I'm sorry, Ray, but a lot of top lawyers and judges play in my game.
00:17:11There's a long waiting list.
00:17:12Too bad for me, huh?
00:17:13Mm-hmm.
00:17:15Sorry to have taken up your time, Counselor.
00:17:17That's okay.
00:17:18Thanks.
00:17:19Mm-hmm.
00:17:21Oh, I almost forgot.
00:17:23Where were you last night? Around, uh, nine o'clock?
00:17:27Oh, you mean when the judge got shot?
00:17:29Yeah.
00:17:31What makes you think I'm gonna answer your question?
00:17:33Anyway, I understand the judge's girlfriend did the deed.
00:17:36Oh, I don't think so.
00:17:37Well, I don't know what you expect to find fishing around here.
00:17:39What possible motive would I have to kill the man?
00:17:41Even if he did owe me money, it's pretty hard to collect gambling debts from a dead man.
00:17:45You got a point there.
00:17:47Yeah.
00:17:48So why don't you go back and tell Winslow he's wasting your time and mine?
00:17:51Well, let's look at it this way, Counselor.
00:17:54When I first came in here, I didn't know there actually was a poker game,
00:17:57just that the judge had some money problems.
00:17:58So I figured if you do fish around, you just might catch something big.
00:18:15You know, on a second thought, I think I would like that coffee.
00:18:18Sure. I'll be right back.
00:18:21How would you like it?
00:18:22Black and sweet.
00:18:33Listen, there's a P.I. nosing around.
00:18:36You better get together tonight.
00:18:38I'll suck into a room at the Cumberland at 8.
00:18:51Okay. Here we go. Black and sweet.
00:18:59Bye-bye.
00:19:00Bye.
00:19:01Our rhubarb pie is our most popular dessert.
00:19:05Just like homemade.
00:19:07I make a mean rhubarb pie myself, Phillip.
00:19:11I bet you do.
00:19:12Or maybe one of these days, I'll get a chance to taste it.
00:19:18Maybe.
00:19:21Shoot me.
00:19:22My manager just came in.
00:19:24That boy is never on time.
00:19:26I've got to speak to him.
00:19:27Will you see?
00:19:27I'll be right here.
00:19:31Great.
00:19:31Yeah?
00:19:32That ghostly gourmet has got this place in an uproar.
00:19:37The cook is buying the most expensive vegetables he can find.
00:19:40Uncle Phil, who's this customer that's getting all your special attention?
00:19:43All of a sudden, no cut of meat is good enough for him.
00:19:46You didn't answer my question.
00:19:48Who is this person that's bringing all of this out in you?
00:19:51The lady's name is Adele Thompson.
00:19:54She's from Florida, living with friends, while she finds a place of her own.
00:19:58I met her in church.
00:19:59You ought to go to church yourself once in a while.
00:20:01Adele Thompson.
00:20:03You ever heard a prettier name in your life?
00:20:05I think I'll go over and maybe freshen up a cup of coffee.
00:20:09Ray and I have these guys cornered, see?
00:20:14Front and back.
00:20:15So I go around behind, and when one of them has a drop on Ray, I...
00:20:20Hi, Ray.
00:20:21Hi.
00:20:22I know you'd be checking out those deliveries if Donahue would just give you a moment's peace.
00:20:26You know, he's much, much too humble.
00:20:28We'd all be standing around doing nothing if it wasn't for him.
00:20:30Hmm.
00:20:30Huh?
00:20:31See, look at the time.
00:20:32I better get on it, huh?
00:20:33Right.
00:20:34Okay.
00:20:35To be continued.
00:20:36Get out.
00:20:36Okay.
00:20:39Did you get my message?
00:20:40Yeah.
00:20:40Well?
00:20:41Well, I checked out the judge's car like you asked.
00:20:44And?
00:20:44Well, Ray, I actually developed my own theory about what happened that night.
00:20:48Mm-hmm.
00:20:48You see, the police found the judge's car near a bar parked about two blocks away from Christina Parker's apartment.
00:20:54So far, so good.
00:20:55Well, you know, it would make sense that he would park there if he didn't want anybody to know that he was going to see her, right?
00:20:59Mm-hmm.
00:21:00But what if the killer arranged to meet the judge at the bar?
00:21:03I think the sauce is a little too thick.
00:21:06Right.
00:21:07Now, how do you know he did that?
00:21:10Well, I did something the police didn't do.
00:21:12I interviewed the bartender.
00:21:14And he said that the judge came in, he ordered a couple of drinks, and after a while, his beeper went off.
00:21:19So he went to the paid phone, and then he left.
00:21:21Now, Ray, I think that the killer arranged to meet him at the bar.
00:21:25And then he called him on a car phone or something, lured him out into the street, chased him down, and shot him.
00:21:30What do you think?
00:21:31Look, I think you're getting very good at this.
00:21:34But we're not out of the woods yet.
00:21:35Here's a telephone.
00:21:36I'm going to want you to get me an address on it, okay?
00:21:38Okay.
00:21:38Chris Cross-Directory, right?
00:21:39Right.
00:21:39And right away, I knew Judge Hartman.
00:21:42I'm going to find out who killed him.
00:21:43It's very important to me.
00:21:45All right.
00:21:46Young man.
00:21:46Do you still have that camera that Santa Claus gave you last Christmas?
00:21:51What's the matter, Santa?
00:21:52Want it back?
00:21:53No, no, no.
00:21:53I want you to bring the camera and meet me in front of the Cumberland Hotel at 8 o'clock.
00:21:57And bring your sister.
00:21:59All right.
00:22:10Mr. Darnell's room, please.
00:22:13I'm in the lobby.
00:22:16I'm in the lobby.
00:22:46Thanks for coming, Linda.
00:23:16Come on.
00:23:19We're going to check in across the street.
00:23:21Why are we going there?
00:23:22We've got a great view.
00:23:23Okay, boss.
00:23:35It's all yours.
00:23:36That's Frank Darnell.
00:23:42I don't know who that lady is.
00:23:47I didn't know the Duval brothers were out of the joint.
00:24:09When did that happen?
00:24:09I've got to hear what they're saying.
00:24:15The man with the suit says that he doesn't care who killed the judge.
00:24:28I have a position with my government.
00:24:30I have a position with my government that is, well, delicate.
00:24:34Just tell me whether we are proceeding or not.
00:24:37I assure you, nothing has changed.
00:24:39Bobby and Nick will take care of the first step tomorrow night.
00:24:44Unless I get my advance, you can proceed without me.
00:24:48That is my final word on the matter.
00:24:55Well, we've got to take that crap from her for her.
00:25:02Because we need her.
00:25:03That's why.
00:25:04The man in the suit says that without her, they don't have anything.
00:25:14Now, he's telling the man with the tattoos that there is something that he wants him to do tonight.
00:25:27He turned away.
00:25:28She can't see what he's saying.
00:25:32All right.
00:25:33Thank you, sister, for me.
00:25:34You get this film developed as fast as you can.
00:25:37All right.
00:25:42See you later.
00:25:43All right.
00:25:48Where to?
00:25:502-2-0, Maine.
00:25:51You got it.
00:26:04Tell her.
00:26:053-0.
00:26:072-2.
00:26:232-2-0, Maine.
00:26:24Oh, my God.
00:26:54Oh, my God.
00:27:24Oh, my God.
00:27:54What do you think you're doing?
00:27:56Wait a second.
00:27:58Hey, hold it!
00:28:02Hold it!
00:28:04Damn.
00:28:06Don't move!
00:28:08Don't move!
00:28:10Don't worry.
00:28:12What?
00:28:14Damn.
00:28:16Don't move!
00:28:18Don't worry.
00:28:20What I want to know is what is Bobby and Nick DeFal still doing out on the street?
00:28:30I guess they're doing the same thing you're doing, right? Breaking in the courthouses.
00:28:34Put Bobby into what?
00:28:36The security guard couldn't give me a positive idea.
00:28:38You couldn't?
00:28:39Well, I can.
00:28:40Ray.
00:28:41Ray, you're lucky I ain't booking you.
00:28:43Right here.
00:28:44Have some of this coffee.
00:28:45Maybe it'll improve your disposition.
00:28:47You're not trying to bribe a police officer, are you, Ray?
00:28:51Not with this coffee.
00:28:52Here, take it.
00:28:54Come on, man.
00:28:56What's the scope of these two creeps?
00:28:58Good night, Ray.
00:28:59You don't really know how to hurt a guy.
00:29:02Bobby and his brother got probation.
00:29:05So far, nobody could figure out how that happened.
00:29:07When I find out, maybe I'll tell you.
00:29:10Thanks for the coffee, Ray.
00:29:12Now, tonight, I'm gonna get my chef to do a special dinner just for you and your friends.
00:29:19Now, Philip, are you sure it's all right if I bring so many people?
00:29:24Well, not at all.
00:29:26It's good for the restaurant.
00:29:27Bring some sophistication to this place.
00:29:30You are a dear.
00:29:36Hmm.
00:29:37And I love that cologne.
00:29:39Bye-bye.
00:29:46Hey, uh, Philip.
00:29:49Huh?
00:29:50How come all your freeloading friends gonna eat on the house seat?
00:29:53Your friends are freeloaders, not mine.
00:29:55These are respectable people.
00:29:57Just like you, huh?
00:29:58Why don't you straighten out your own life before you start working on mine?
00:30:03And you can start right over there.
00:30:05Thank you, Philip.
00:30:07Hey.
00:30:08Mmm.
00:30:09How's the food in this place?
00:30:11Mmm.
00:30:12Mmm.
00:30:13That kitchen must be working overtime.
00:30:15Yeah.
00:30:16Oh, that reminds me.
00:30:17You see anybody suspicious around here?
00:30:20Uh, not yet.
00:30:21Um, but I was talking to a friend of mine over at the Parthenon.
00:30:24Yeah.
00:30:25And he thinks it's a woman.
00:30:26Ah.
00:30:27Well, you, uh, keep an eye out, huh?
00:30:28Keep up the good work.
00:30:29Okay.
00:30:30We're being reviewed by the Goosely Gourmet next month.
00:30:33Mmm.
00:30:34Well, I wouldn't worry about that, Raymond.
00:30:37You won't call me that unless you're all bent out of shape.
00:30:41Oh, wow.
00:30:42The concert last night.
00:30:43Mmm.
00:30:44Oh, I completely forgot.
00:30:45Yes.
00:30:46I noticed.
00:30:47I'm sorry.
00:30:48Mm-hmm.
00:30:49You had to go alone, huh?
00:30:50Well, who said I went alone?
00:30:52Huh?
00:30:53Anyway, the message that you left for me said you wanted some help in the Christina Parker
00:30:57case.
00:30:58Oh, she's innocent.
00:30:59Aren't they all?
00:31:01This one's very attractive.
00:31:06Who is she?
00:31:07Well, I think she's connected with some kind of African government.
00:31:10But you see this necklace here?
00:31:11Can you ask one of your fellow professors at the college what country that comes from?
00:31:15Mm-hmm.
00:31:16Yes.
00:31:17I think I can arrange that.
00:31:19So, uh, who'd you go to the concert with?
00:31:23Oh, a friend.
00:31:26Does a young man have a name?
00:31:29Harold.
00:31:30Harold.
00:31:31Harold.
00:31:38Harold.
00:31:40Did Judge Hartman ever mention the name Bobby and Nick Duvall?
00:31:44No, I don't think so.
00:31:46He did talk about his work sometimes, but he never mentioned those guys.
00:31:49No.
00:31:50Well, the real question is, what did Patrick, Frank, Darnell, these two hoods, and an African
00:31:55lady have in common?
00:31:57Whatever they're up to, we better find out, because that's the key to the judge's murder.
00:32:00Oh, I'm sorry.
00:32:01I'm due in court.
00:32:02We better go.
00:32:03Now, this may be difficult for you, but I want you to stay inside and don't answer the
00:32:07telephone.
00:32:08Whatever you say.
00:32:09All right, if you need anything at all, just give me a ring, night or day, any time.
00:32:13I will.
00:32:14How many times have you been to our apartment, Jeffrey?
00:32:16Who says I've ever been here?
00:32:17You know exactly where the bar was.
00:32:19I stood observation, Ray.
00:32:21Someday you're going to make a very good detective.
00:32:23You're going to answer my question of what?
00:32:25Well, if you must know, the apartment's rented in my name.
00:32:28Really?
00:32:29Yeah, I did it as a favor to Patrick, for obvious reasons.
00:32:32What's this? When do you give, uh, your clients a special treatment?
00:32:35The girl's been through an ordeal.
00:32:38If you don't watch out, you're going to go through an ordeal with the state bar.
00:32:41Ah, I'm not getting involved with a client.
00:32:43She's a dear and old friend.
00:32:44Let me ask you something.
00:32:46Would you give her the same special treatment if she was 80 years old and bow-legged?
00:32:51You're not going to dignify that question with an answer, man.
00:32:55Neither would I, man. Neither would I.
00:32:58Hey, Ray.
00:32:59Yeah?
00:33:00What's with Uncle Phil and this woman?
00:33:01It must be mating season.
00:33:03Either that is radiation in the air.
00:33:06Yeah, well, I just hope I never get twisted around like that.
00:33:09You better hope you do.
00:33:10We miss all the fun.
00:33:12Ray!
00:33:13Yep.
00:33:14Hi.
00:33:15Hi.
00:33:16I have big news.
00:33:17Shoot.
00:33:18Well, I followed your instructions and I went to the record room at the criminal court's building,
00:33:20and you were right.
00:33:21Judge Hartman was the judge of Bobby and Nick DeVol's trial.
00:33:24And right after the jury convicted them, Judge Hartman gave them probation.
00:33:27Wow, he's a law and order judge, and those two, they've got a lot of priors.
00:33:31This is getting interesting.
00:33:33And guess who represented them and filed the motion?
00:33:36Frank Darnell.
00:33:37You got it.
00:33:38You know, I visited a courthouse and I got a look at the judge's check register.
00:33:42He's got a lot of gambling debts that he paid each week for Frank Darnell.
00:33:45And then about a month ago, they stopped.
00:33:47They must have paid off the rest of his gambling debts by letting those two punks walk.
00:33:51Well, I also got an address from that phone number that you took from Darnell's office.
00:33:56Yeah.
00:33:57Well, it's a hotel downtown.
00:33:58It's called the Patricia.
00:33:59A hotel, by the way, which Mr. Darnell owns.
00:34:03Excellent.
00:34:04Excellent.
00:34:06I'm gonna go check out the hotel.
00:34:07All right.
00:34:08Oh, hey, Julia.
00:34:09You better go with her.
00:34:10Sounds good to me.
00:34:11Come on.
00:34:12Come on.
00:34:13Come on.
00:34:14Come on.
00:34:15All right.
00:34:16Come on.
00:34:17Come on.
00:34:18Come on.
00:34:19Come on.
00:34:20Come on.
00:34:21Man, what an investment.
00:34:22Okay.
00:34:23You wait here.
00:34:24No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:34:25I go in.
00:34:26You wait.
00:34:29Good idea.
00:34:30It'll work out with him.
00:34:32Trust me.
00:34:33genuinely trust me.
00:34:35No, no, you're not listening.
00:34:36You got to open those discs.
00:34:41You got to open those dips here.
00:34:43All right.
00:34:44I don't like it.
00:34:46You don't have to like it.
00:34:47And I don't trust them.
00:34:49Hey, did I take care of you before?
00:34:52I take care of you now.
00:34:54It's too big, man.
00:34:56That's why it pays.
00:34:57We get burnt on this, we're going away forever.
00:35:01I wouldn't sweat it.
00:35:03We got ourselves the little insurance policy here.
00:35:11Keep talking, eh?
00:35:14Yeah, I think if we put a little coat of paint on this thing,
00:35:18you know, get a couple of nice secondaries.
00:35:20Yeah.
00:35:22Maybe we'll advertise it.
00:35:23Maybe we'll advertise it here, so good.
00:35:27Hey, you scared me, man.
00:35:30What are you doing here?
00:35:32I wanted room.
00:35:33What do you think I'm doing here?
00:35:35It wants cash in advance.
00:35:38Look, amigo, I'm getting a job and a dare to.
00:35:41You see?
00:35:41And I will pay you as soon as I get paid.
00:35:45I'm good for it.
00:35:47I got an honest face, right?
00:35:49Now, get out of here.
00:35:52That's cool.
00:35:54I'll come back, okay?
00:35:56Yeah, take your time, buddy.
00:35:59Okay, amigo.
00:36:00Okie dokie.
00:36:01Where have you been?
00:36:20I got the job.
00:36:21No, absolutely not.
00:36:24Those boys are serious.
00:36:25You could get hurt.
00:36:26Just hear me out, okay?
00:36:27All right, all right.
00:36:28Okay.
00:36:28I haven't just been sitting around since the Radcliffe case.
00:36:31Is that a fact?
00:36:31It is a fact.
00:36:32I've done lots of reading of investigative procedures,
00:36:35and I've studied tons of criminal cases.
00:36:37Now, I know that's not going to help when it comes to actually doing something,
00:36:40but, Ray, I think I'm ready for some real, I don't know, some field experience.
00:36:44Donna.
00:36:45Listen, I would only be working there during the day,
00:36:47and these guys probably take me about as seriously as you do.
00:36:49So, I could learn something important, Ray.
00:36:52Come on, please.
00:36:53Look, Donna, it is not as though I don't take you seriously.
00:36:57I just don't want you to get hurt, that's all.
00:37:01Julian.
00:37:02Can I let her do it?
00:37:04Look, you go to that hotel, you rent a room,
00:37:06and at the first sign of danger, you get her out of there fast, all right?
00:37:09And stop listening to my private conversations.
00:37:12Get out of here before you're late for work.
00:37:16Hey.
00:37:19The jewelry that your friend is wearing comes from Zwanda,
00:37:23an African nation known for, amongst other things, its political unrest.
00:37:28The woman is Alana Duran.
00:37:31Mm-hmm.
00:37:31She runs the local consulate.
00:37:34That's a lot of information for one necklace.
00:37:36Well, I'm capable of doing a little fluke thing of my own.
00:37:40Uh-huh.
00:37:43Have I told you lately that you're wonderful?
00:37:46How about dinner tonight?
00:37:48I'm sorry.
00:37:50I'm busy.
00:37:52Harold?
00:37:55You're the detective.
00:37:57You figure it out.
00:38:02Harold again.
00:38:06I'm here to see Alana Duran.
00:38:31We're Alexander.
00:39:02It's a French debt call, but it seems to go well with your African art.
00:39:07But you lived in France for a while, didn't you?
00:39:09Yes, I did.
00:39:11As a matter of fact, you were married to a Frenchman.
00:39:14He died in a car accident, didn't he?
00:39:17Now, I wouldn't be much of investigative if I didn't do my homework, now, would I?
00:39:21Mr. Winslow said you wanted to ask me some questions about the Christina Parker case, Mr. Alexander?
00:39:28Yeah, yeah.
00:39:28Well, see, the judge and me, we were pretty close.
00:39:31And he said that if anything ever happened to him, that I should come and talk to you.
00:39:37I can't imagine why.
00:39:38I didn't even know him.
00:39:39You didn't?
00:39:40No, I didn't.
00:39:42Oh, well, I'm embarrassed.
00:39:44Well, why would the judge say anything like that?
00:39:46Why don't you ask him?
00:39:48Yeah.
00:39:51That's funny.
00:39:52You know, I like that.
00:39:53I really do.
00:39:54Why did I ask him, huh?
00:39:55Anything else?
00:39:58Well, yeah.
00:39:59As a matter of fact, just so I don't go back to Winslow empty-handed, I've got to ask you,
00:40:06where were you Thursday night?
00:40:07The night Judge Hartman was killed.
00:40:09That's right.
00:40:10I was right here.
00:40:11And you have a whole bunch of employees who can swear to that, huh?
00:40:14Are you accusing me of something, Mr. Alexander?
00:40:17No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:40:18It's the kind of questions I have to ask you.
00:40:20You understand?
00:40:21I'm trying my best.
00:40:23Right.
00:40:23It's all right to have taken up so much of your time.
00:40:26No, not at all.
00:40:30By the way, didn't I see you last night in the elevator of the Cumberland Hotel?
00:40:39Anything's possible.
00:40:43You got that right.
00:40:44How does he know so much?
00:40:56Well, he's very good at what he does.
00:40:58That's why it was such a mistake to kill Hartman.
00:41:02And who was stupid enough to do that?
00:41:04I don't know.
00:41:05I don't know.
00:41:06Maybe one of my two boys decided to take care of some personal business.
00:41:09I don't know.
00:41:09Does that mean we should rule you out?
00:41:14Oh.
00:41:16No, I wouldn't rule anyone out.
00:41:24I want to get a look at what's inside that seat.
00:41:26Only if I'm around, okay?
00:41:29Whoa, you coming to some dough, man?
00:41:31You better believe it, baby.
00:41:33I'm in demand.
00:41:34Hot man.
00:41:35Right on.
00:41:36Thank you, miss.
00:41:37Good job, man.
00:41:40He's ten minutes late with the rent.
00:41:41Toss him.
00:41:45Patricia Hotel, can I help you?
00:41:47Can I say who's calling?
00:41:49Nick?
00:41:50It's a Mr. Darnell.
00:41:57Yeah, it's me, Nick.
00:42:00Yeah, we're ready tonight.
00:42:03All right.
00:42:03I like the way you straighten this place up.
00:42:09Well, you know what they say.
00:42:11Neatness counts.
00:42:13So, uh, what's your story?
00:42:17Well, I'm studying to be a paralegal.
00:42:19Ooh, not a good idea.
00:42:21Why not?
00:42:22Next thing you know, you're a lawyer.
00:42:25Well, what should I be doing instead?
00:42:27I don't know.
00:42:29You like kids?
00:42:30Sure.
00:42:30Well, be a teacher.
00:42:31Do something really worthwhile.
00:42:35What about you?
00:42:37Well, I thought maybe I'd become Conrad Hilton.
00:42:40You know, start off with a quaint little place like this
00:42:42and work my way up to a chain of hotels.
00:42:45Well, that is not a straight answer.
00:42:47Well, I don't need straight answers during work.
00:42:50But maybe over a little dinner,
00:42:52I could give you tons of straight answers.
00:42:55What time do you finish?
00:42:57Um, five o'clock.
00:42:58You can take off now.
00:43:00We got it covered.
00:43:01But I don't mind.
00:43:03I said you could take off.
00:43:08Hasta la vista.
00:43:12What's your problem?
00:43:13What's your problem, huh?
00:43:14It's our agreement.
00:43:16No more girls.
00:43:19Except you and me.
00:43:22Ray?
00:43:29Yeah.
00:43:31Bobby and Nick are up to something.
00:43:33They just got a call from Darnell.
00:43:34What is it?
00:43:35Well, I don't know.
00:43:36Whatever it is, it's happening tonight.
00:43:39He's going up.
00:43:41He's going up.
00:43:42He's going up.
00:43:43He's going up.
00:43:44We're already moving back.
00:43:46He's going to get to your dog.
00:43:47Huh?
00:43:47All right.
00:43:57Knock off the yakety-yak.
00:43:59You pay attention.
00:44:01I'm going to do this one time and one time only.
00:44:08Do you watch it?
00:44:09Wallets and jewelry in the bag.
00:44:23And desserts in the basement.
00:44:25All right.
00:44:25Get your wallets out.
00:44:29Get on down there.
00:44:31Let's some girl catch a little precious there.
00:44:33Come on.
00:44:33Come on.
00:44:33Get on there.
00:44:35Hey, hey, easy.
00:44:36Easy.
00:44:37My attitude.
00:44:37What is this attitude?
00:44:40How do we forget that?
00:44:41Well, girl, are we fun or what?
00:44:46No point on out.
00:44:47That's right.
00:44:48That's right.
00:44:49Keep your hands to yourself.
00:44:52Mm.
00:44:57Nice job, Mark.
00:44:58Frankie, we could have
00:45:28danced all night.
00:45:30Isn't that right, Nicky?
00:45:41By stealing everything in sight,
00:45:44they made it look as if they just grabbed the painting by chance
00:45:46along with everything else.
00:45:48It was still very risky.
00:45:50There's no way that anybody
00:45:52can tie you into this.
00:45:56I definitely got better legs than you,
00:45:58you know.
00:45:59Hey, Sammy, what's up?
00:46:01What's up there, Sammy?
00:46:02Come on now, get on in there.
00:46:04There he is.
00:46:05Come on, come on.
00:46:06Come on, come on, come on.
00:46:07Deep, deep.
00:46:08Water, water, water.
00:46:12Hey, fellas, how you doing?
00:46:14You know, this ghostly gourmet dude,
00:46:16it's really cold.
00:46:16Just to see what he wrote in here about the water in the restaurant.
00:46:19The water.
00:46:21The hell are you doing here?
00:46:23You left so fast the other night,
00:46:24I didn't have a chance to say goodbye.
00:46:26Hi.
00:46:27How you doing, Nicky?
00:46:29Big brother still taking care of you?
00:46:31They make you put on those tattoos
00:46:32so you can be big and beautiful just like him?
00:46:35Take a hike.
00:46:37Oh, chill out, Bobby.
00:46:41Just wanted to see what time
00:46:42you guys would show up tonight
00:46:43instead of when I talk to our old friend
00:46:45Lieutenant Graham.
00:46:46See if anything interesting happened tonight.
00:46:49You stay out of my face
00:46:50while you still have a face.
00:46:51Oh, you shouldn't get so close to me, Bobby,
00:46:53unless you mean it.
00:46:59Oh, Lord.
00:47:08What I found.
00:47:09Somebody must have left that here.
00:47:12Hey, you disappear.
00:47:14Put it away, Bobby.
00:47:15Come on.
00:47:15That's enough, man.
00:47:16You really want to do me, don't you, Bobby?
00:47:19I think I'll just paint the walls with you.
00:47:21Yeah.
00:47:22Go ahead.
00:47:23Nobody will hear.
00:47:24Back off, Bobby.
00:47:26Come on.
00:47:27You know what I think?
00:47:29I think you killed the judge
00:47:30for putting that scuzzball brother
00:47:32of yours in the joint
00:47:33where he got iced
00:47:34the way he deserved.
00:47:36Oh, listen to him, Bobby.
00:47:38Come on, man.
00:47:39This may be the only change you're gonna get.
00:47:41All you got to do
00:47:42is squeeze.
00:47:46Squeeze.
00:47:51I think I'll let you have a loaded weapon.
00:47:55My mama didn't raise no fools.
00:48:07Later.
00:48:07When this job's over,
00:48:11I'm gonna kill him slowly.
00:48:20Go ahead, man.
00:48:21Try it.
00:48:22Show some character.
00:48:28Is that good or what?
00:48:32It's this hot.
00:48:34That's my special coffee there.
00:48:36It's got some chicory in it,
00:48:37some of my very secret ingredients.
00:48:39That's what makes it so very, very good.
00:48:42What makes you so good, Ray?
00:48:44I heard that there was a robbery last night
00:48:46and you were on the case.
00:48:49That's right.
00:48:51Can you account for your time?
00:48:53Any leads?
00:48:55Yeah, two hoods in drag.
00:48:57Gonna try and find that fence first.
00:48:59Took a paint worth a half mil.
00:49:01It's gonna be hard to move.
00:49:03Is this the invitation list for the dinner?
00:49:04You got something, Ray?
00:49:12Nope.
00:49:13Just the best coffee in town, Lieutenant.
00:49:21Miss Thompson?
00:49:23Ray Alexander.
00:49:25I'm looking forward to meeting you.
00:49:26Oh, hello.
00:49:27Hi.
00:49:28May I sit down?
00:49:29Please.
00:49:30Thanks.
00:49:30Phillip has told me so much about you.
00:49:35Oh, I'm sure he has.
00:49:37You waiting for him?
00:49:38Yes.
00:49:38I wanted to thank him for the wonderful dinner last night.
00:49:42Oh, I'm sure he'd be pleased to hear that.
00:49:44You know, what you think is very important to him.
00:49:46Well, he's a wonderful man.
00:49:48So sweet and sincere.
00:49:49That's a rare quality.
00:49:53Yes, it is.
00:49:54Ray.
00:49:55Yes.
00:49:56How long have you been working for Phillip?
00:49:59All my life, I think.
00:50:04Oh, there he is now.
00:50:07Miss Thompson, it's been very nice to meet you.
00:50:11Please.
00:50:12Call me Adele.
00:50:13All right.
00:50:14Adele, you take care.
00:50:16Sorry I'm late, but it was my first day at the gym,
00:50:25and my back is killing me.
00:50:27Your lady friend's waiting for you over there.
00:50:29Do you mind if I step out for a while?
00:50:31When did you start asking me?
00:50:33Since you're the new owner.
00:50:35Oh, you better change this sign, too.
00:50:46Mrs. Durand is unavailable.
00:50:49You'd better call for an appointment.
00:50:50What do you know about that?
00:50:51She probably forgot.
00:50:52I'll just go and remind her.
00:50:54That's far enough.
00:50:55It's okay.
00:50:56I know the way.
00:50:59Hold it right there.
00:51:01All right, gentlemen.
00:51:03Must be reasonable.
00:51:07What's going on here?
00:51:08It's entirely my fault.
00:51:09I had to see you, and they had to stop me.
00:51:12Thank you, doctor.
00:51:19I'll be in touch.
00:51:25We have to talk.
00:51:28What I have to say is private.
00:51:32I'll be fine.
00:51:37You know, Trouble has a strange way of following you around,
00:51:40doesn't it?
00:51:41Yesterday, we're talking about a murder.
00:51:43And today, you're witnessing an armed robbery.
00:51:48And what does it all mean, Mr. Alexander?
00:51:53Did you happen to notice a tattoo on the back of one of the suspect's hands?
00:51:57They appeared to be wearing gloves.
00:51:59Surgical gloves, right?
00:52:01But one of the kitchen hubs said that they were able to distinguish a tattoo
00:52:04on the back of one of the suspect's hands.
00:52:07Does that jog your memory?
00:52:09Should it?
00:52:11You know, if I was a suspicious man,
00:52:14I'd begin to think that this was an inside job.
00:52:23It's a good thing I'm not a suspicious man.
00:52:25If you were in my country, you would get much worse.
00:52:28People in your country get in trouble.
00:52:30They disappear, don't they?
00:52:32Time for you to go, Mr. Alexander.
00:52:34You know, I'm going to miss you.
00:52:52He just left my office.
00:52:55He knows all about the robbery.
00:52:57Where is he getting his information?
00:53:01Have you ever heard of a woman by the name of Alana Durand?
00:53:04No.
00:53:05What does she have to do with this?
00:53:07Well, for one thing, she helped set up the robbery last night.
00:53:09She was even a guest at dinner.
00:53:11She told Frank Darnell that she wanted her money up front,
00:53:14and now she's got it.
00:53:16What do the police think?
00:53:17Well, I'm not going to tell the police anything
00:53:18until they find out what scheme they're up to.
00:53:20That's the only way we can prove who killed Patrick.
00:53:23Why would they want to kill him?
00:53:24I don't know.
00:53:27I got it.
00:53:43Can I help you?
00:53:44Delivery from Miss Parker.
00:53:47Do you mind opening that out here?
00:53:49Open it?
00:53:50Yeah.
00:53:50You have a problem with that?
00:53:52No.
00:53:53No.
00:54:05Open it.
00:54:13Oh, I'll take care of that.
00:54:18Yes, thank you.
00:54:19Would you take care of the gentleman, please?
00:54:23This is for you.
00:54:29Thank you so much.
00:54:31Yes, I saw it.
00:54:31I thought it would look good.
00:54:33It's beautiful.
00:54:34Isn't it?
00:54:34Well, why don't you try it on?
00:54:38See if it fits.
00:54:39Okay.
00:54:40Excuse me.
00:54:41Well, I can't lie to you, Ray.
00:54:53I've liked her for a long time.
00:54:57Well, she and Patrick haven't been making love for quite a while, and why shouldn't I have feelings for her?
00:55:04Yeah, well, how long has it been since Claire died?
00:55:07Well, it's almost six years now.
00:55:09Don't you think I'm entitled?
00:55:10Sure you are.
00:55:11Sure you are.
00:55:11After the case, man.
00:55:14What about her age?
00:55:17Yeah.
00:55:18She is a little bit older than I would like, but I think I can adjust.
00:55:24Where are they?
00:55:36Inside.
00:55:38Any problem?
00:55:41What do you need, man?
00:55:43I could use some work, man.
00:55:45I had a problem in my job.
00:55:47The guy I was working for did real attitude, you know?
00:55:50We got nothing.
00:55:52How about some painting?
00:55:54I'm good at painting.
00:55:55You see, you got paint all over your hands.
00:55:57I just thought that maybe you could use some help.
00:55:59That's all.
00:56:00Listen, just make sure you can swing the rent, all right?
00:56:02I got you covered, amigo.
00:56:05Okay.
00:56:08Listen, can you keep an eye on things?
00:56:11We've got to run a couple of hours.
00:56:12Sure.
00:56:13All right?
00:56:13Let's go.
00:56:14I'll see you later.
00:56:16All right.
00:56:24All right.
00:56:27Bye.
00:56:45Bye.
00:56:46Bye.
00:56:47Bye.
00:56:48Bye.
00:56:48Let's go.
00:56:49Let's go.
00:56:50All right.
00:56:51Don't forgive her.
00:56:52Don't forgive me.
00:56:53Don't forgive him, don't give him money.
00:56:54Don't forgive him.
00:56:55Don't forgive him.
00:56:56I'm nothing.
00:56:57I'm nothing.
00:56:58I'm nothing.
00:56:59I'm nothing.
00:57:00You can do it.
00:57:01You can't do it.
00:57:03It's better than you've proven it.
00:57:04I think they're going to go check out.
00:57:05You don't have to do it.
00:57:06I just want to do it.
00:57:07You just want to do it.
00:57:08I want to do it.
00:57:09You want to do it.
00:57:10Leave her alone.
00:57:11You can buy yourself 12 other chicks when there's
00:57:19with the chicks when this job's over.
00:57:22Hey, back off. I like her, all right?
00:57:26You know, she could be
00:57:27the mother of my children.
00:57:29Yeah, come on.
00:57:49Yeah, come on.
00:58:19Come on.
00:58:49Come on.
00:58:51Come on.
00:58:53Come on.
00:58:55Come on.
00:58:59Come on.
00:59:01Come on.
00:59:05Come on.
00:59:07Come on.
00:59:11Come on.
00:59:13Come on.
00:59:17Come on.
00:59:19Come on.
00:59:23Come on.
00:59:25Come on.
00:59:27Come on.
00:59:29Come on.
00:59:31Come on.
00:59:33Come on.
00:59:35Come on.
00:59:37Come on.
00:59:39Come on.
00:59:41Come on.
00:59:43Come on.
00:59:45Come on.
00:59:47Come on.
00:59:49Come on.
00:59:50Come on.
00:59:51Come on.
00:59:53Come on.
00:59:55Come on.
00:59:57Come on.
00:59:59Come on.
01:00:01Come on.
01:00:02Come on.
01:00:03Come on.
01:00:05Come on.
01:00:07Come on.
01:00:09Come on.
01:00:10Come on.
01:00:11Come on.
01:00:12Come on.
01:00:13Come on.
01:00:14Come on.
01:00:15Come on.
01:00:17Come on.
01:00:18I didn't get a look inside those containers, but they were cold, you know, like refrigerated.
01:00:22Look, you better go and get Donna out of there. I don't think that's safe.
01:00:25Right.
01:00:33Uncle Phil.
01:00:34Hmm?
01:00:35What's all this?
01:00:37Well, it's about time we made the place more inviting,
01:00:40and since you're so rarely here,
01:00:42I took advantage of the opportunity to dress the place up a little.
01:00:46She's coming for lunch today, isn't she?
01:00:48So what if she is?
01:00:49Look, Uncle Phil, if you're gonna have a relationship with this woman,
01:00:52why don't you be honest with her?
01:00:54Great.
01:00:55She's a wealthy widow, and I want her to get to like me before I,
01:01:00you know, tell her all about myself.
01:01:03I'm scared a woman like her won't have anything to do with a broke-down old ex-con like me.
01:01:10There isn't a woman born on this planet who could resist a sly fox like yourself,
01:01:14and that's the truth.
01:01:16Oh, Ray, come on, man, don't jive me.
01:01:18Oops.
01:01:19There she is now.
01:01:20Now's the time.
01:01:21Get straight with her.
01:01:25Words cannot say what a good-looking woman that is.
01:01:29Yeah.
01:01:32Psst.
01:01:33Ray.
01:01:34You see that woman over there?
01:01:36The redhead?
01:01:37What, you think she's the food critic?
01:01:38This is her third time in here in two days.
01:01:41I try to talk to her.
01:01:42She's very cagey.
01:01:43Follow her.
01:01:44Follow her.
01:01:45Follow her.
01:01:56The trick is in the kind of rice you get.
01:01:59Make sure you get the basmati.
01:02:01Would you agree?
01:02:02Well, what do you think?
01:02:03You think we should put this on the menu?
01:02:04Okay.
01:02:05Yeah.
01:02:06All right.
01:02:07I'm sorry about what happened yesterday.
01:02:08I had some bad news from home and I was very upset.
01:02:10That's all right.
01:02:11I get upset myself sometimes.
01:02:12I know you were only in the mirror.
01:02:13They just talked about something, but I did not know what it was.
01:02:14That's all right.
01:02:15I was really low.
01:02:16I'd be so depressed but I ended up with the time.
01:02:17It's better than I'd be so ill of them.
01:02:18But what do you think?
01:02:19What do you think?
01:02:20You think we should put this on the menu?
01:02:22Okay.
01:02:23Yeah.
01:02:24All right.
01:02:25I'm sorry about what happened yesterday.
01:02:28I had some bad news from home and I was very upset.
01:02:33It's all right.
01:02:35I get upset myself sometimes.
01:02:36upset myself sometimes. I know you were only
01:02:38doing your job, and I respect that.
01:02:41I've even come to
01:02:42enjoy you.
01:02:45You don't even know me.
01:02:47I know that you were convicted
01:02:48for murdering a police officer and then later
01:02:50acquitted. I know that
01:02:52most of your staff here are
01:02:54ex-convicts.
01:02:56I know that you take care of a young
01:02:58man by the name of Julian Garcia,
01:03:01whose father is still in prison.
01:03:04Jeffrey Wenslow
01:03:04got you out of prison,
01:03:07and you work exclusively for him,
01:03:09but only when you need the money.
01:03:12You're not
01:03:13married, and are considered
01:03:14a catch by a number of women.
01:03:17And your crab
01:03:19cakes are legendary.
01:03:21You seem to have done your homework,
01:03:23too. When I'm interested.
01:03:25Are you really?
01:03:27Are you available?
01:03:29To do what?
01:03:31Huh?
01:03:31I'm the chairman of the
01:03:34Pan-African Health Organization.
01:03:37I'm making a number of public
01:03:38appearances, and I want
01:03:40you to be in charge of my personal
01:03:42security.
01:03:46If nothing, I'd like to do more.
01:03:49I hope this doesn't
01:03:50conflict with your current case.
01:03:52You will be very well paid.
01:03:54Oh, really?
01:03:55How much?
01:03:55It would be for
01:03:57at least a month,
01:03:58so I'd say
01:03:59$10,000.
01:04:03Well, I was thinking
01:04:04more along the lines of
01:04:05$25,000 or so.
01:04:11How soon can you begin?
01:04:13I already have.
01:04:19Call me.
01:04:20Don't do that.
01:04:21I'm going to be upset.
01:04:36Whoops.
01:04:38Stick with me, Toop.
01:04:40Stick with me.
01:04:41Now, don't be upset.
01:04:43I'm not upset.
01:04:44Yeah, you're upset.
01:04:45You know, if you keep
01:04:46telling me that I'm upset,
01:04:48I really am going to be upset.
01:04:51Here.
01:04:52That's the background
01:04:53on your lady.
01:04:54Oh, right.
01:04:57She's quite a girl.
01:04:58Oh, she sure is.
01:05:00Just like everybody else
01:05:01in Zawanda,
01:05:01she had to serve
01:05:02in the military,
01:05:03which means she knows
01:05:04how to handle a gun.
01:05:05Hey, look at this.
01:05:06She even made colonel.
01:05:08Hey!
01:05:15Wait!
01:05:18Damn!
01:05:20Let's go.
01:05:22I'm down.
01:05:23Wait!
01:05:24Please, please, Zawanda.
01:05:26Please.
01:05:35What happened?
01:05:36I took your advice.
01:05:38That's what happened.
01:05:38And now I'm taking
01:05:39the rest of the afternoon off.
01:05:44What the hell is going on
01:05:45around here?
01:05:46What are you still doing here?
01:05:50I told you right
01:05:51when you're out.
01:05:51I know, but I haven't
01:05:52gotten a chance
01:05:52to look in the safe yet.
01:05:54Racist.
01:05:54You gotta go.
01:05:56Just give me a minute,
01:05:57okay?
01:06:00Come in.
01:06:05Hey, what's up?
01:06:06I was just wondering
01:06:07when Bobby was coming back.
01:06:09Oh, in a little while.
01:06:11What?
01:06:11He told me that
01:06:13I could get paid today,
01:06:14but I don't want
01:06:14to bother you about it,
01:06:15so I'll just,
01:06:15I'll just wait
01:06:16for him to come back.
01:06:17Well, it's okay.
01:06:17You can ask me.
01:06:20Well, doesn't Bobby
01:06:21usually take care
01:06:22of this kind of stuff?
01:06:23Well, I think
01:06:24I can manage it.
01:06:26Just for you.
01:06:27Um, why don't you
01:06:34keep an eye
01:06:34on all things,
01:06:35you know?
01:06:36Okay.
01:06:37Okay, great.
01:06:46I'm sorry.
01:06:47Give me my key.
01:06:48Nick!
01:06:48I said give me my key!
01:06:50Hey.
01:06:50He didn't pay his rent.
01:06:51Hey, beat it, man.
01:06:52Oh!
01:06:53Whoa.
01:06:54Oh!
01:06:56I don't know.
01:06:56Keep it, keep it.
01:06:57Don't go walk, buddy.
01:06:59Come on!
01:07:04Where's Nick?
01:07:05Well, he's, um,
01:07:06tossing out that guy
01:07:07who didn't pay his rent.
01:07:09Ah, you find something
01:07:10out of the safe you need?
01:07:11Well, actually,
01:07:12I was just closing it up.
01:07:13There he is.
01:07:15That's a good idea.
01:07:16I need you to help me
01:07:17with something.
01:07:18Sure, what?
01:07:19Not here.
01:07:20Upstairs.
01:07:25What's up here?
01:07:26That's a very
01:07:27perceptive question.
01:07:28Observe.
01:07:29What are you doing?
01:07:30Oh, relax.
01:07:31I'm just gonna educate you.
01:07:32Look, I don't like this,
01:07:34okay?
01:07:34I wanna go back down.
01:07:35Stop.
01:07:35Oh!
01:07:36There you go again.
01:07:38No sense of adventure.
01:07:40You gotta enjoy life.
01:07:42Look down there.
01:07:43What do you see?
01:07:45Five, six-story drop, maybe?
01:07:47Or do you see an opportunity?
01:07:48A chance to be a modern miracle?
01:07:50Give me your arms.
01:07:55Oh, hold on now.
01:08:00Now, tell me who you are
01:08:03and what you want.
01:08:04We're gonna find out
01:08:05if you can fly.
01:08:09Oh, baby.
01:08:11Tell me about your...
01:08:12I don't know
01:08:13what you're talking about.
01:08:15Oh!
01:08:16Quickly, quickly, quickly.
01:08:20Bobby, what the hell
01:08:21are you doing, man?
01:08:22Hey, man.
01:08:23Just getting acquainted.
01:08:24Please, pull me up.
01:08:25You can't do this, man.
01:08:26Something happens
01:08:27or the cops will be
01:08:28all over us.
01:08:29Come on.
01:08:31She's trying to fly
01:08:32without a license.
01:08:33Bobby, stop it.
01:08:35Come on, pull her up.
01:08:35I swear, man.
01:08:36She's cold.
01:08:37Just pull her up.
01:08:38Damn it, Bobby.
01:08:39If you don't pull her up now,
01:08:40I'm out of here.
01:08:41Come on.
01:08:42Do you really like her?
01:08:43I ain't going to the joint
01:08:44for this.
01:08:44Come on.
01:08:47Come on, precious.
01:08:49Get up there.
01:08:50Hurry up.
01:08:51Get out of here.
01:08:52Come on.
01:08:58I think you better
01:08:58forget about us.
01:08:59Understand?
01:09:02Oh.
01:09:02Mickey shouldn't
01:09:06let the safe open.
01:09:08You better be right
01:09:09about her.
01:09:15So I follow the woman.
01:09:17She even takes two cabs
01:09:18because she's suspicious,
01:09:19right?
01:09:20Well, turns out
01:09:21she's not our
01:09:22mysterious food critic
01:09:23but the manager
01:09:25of the all-star grill
01:09:26over in the Heights.
01:09:27She's looking for
01:09:28some trade secrets,
01:09:29I guess.
01:09:30You're doing real great.
01:09:31You keep up the good work,
01:09:32okay?
01:09:36Now, what were you going to do
01:09:37when she found out
01:09:38that you're an ex-con
01:09:39and you just managed
01:09:39this place?
01:09:41Invited to your mansion
01:09:42in Russian Hill?
01:09:42I know.
01:09:43I've been an old fool.
01:09:45I guess that's what happens
01:09:46when you want
01:09:47what you want
01:09:47too much.
01:09:48Yeah, well,
01:09:48maybe you can turn it around.
01:09:49Yeah, and maybe
01:09:51your Elizabeth
01:09:51will run off
01:09:52with her boyfriend,
01:09:53Harold,
01:09:53who I happen to know
01:09:55is gay.
01:09:56I know.
01:09:57You know?
01:09:58I'm a detective,
01:09:59aren't I?
01:09:59Well, you sure
01:10:00the hell ain't
01:10:01no dear Abbott.
01:10:03You know what?
01:10:04I mean,
01:10:04we just can't
01:10:05stay out of trouble,
01:10:06can we?
01:10:06Hey, what's up?
01:10:13They almost nailed her.
01:10:15What?
01:10:15Well, I admit
01:10:16it did get a little
01:10:17close for comfort.
01:10:18You said he almost killed you.
01:10:19I was exaggerating.
01:10:20Listen, Ray,
01:10:21there's something
01:10:23in that safe
01:10:23that's really important.
01:10:24When I looked through it,
01:10:25Bobby,
01:10:26he got kind of upset.
01:10:27I told you not
01:10:28to take any chances.
01:10:29I know, I know.
01:10:30I was wrong, okay?
01:10:31But I was right
01:10:31in that I got some
01:10:32really good information,
01:10:33didn't I?
01:10:34She was an ace, Ray.
01:10:39All right.
01:10:40All right.
01:10:40Now, here's what
01:10:41I want you to do.
01:10:42I want you to go
01:10:43to the Zawandan consulate.
01:10:45I want you to apply
01:10:45for visas.
01:10:46I want you to sign
01:10:46the security register.
01:10:47I want you to note
01:10:48the name of the man
01:10:49who signed in
01:10:50just before me.
01:10:51Well, what's his story?
01:10:52Well, he's a young doctor.
01:10:53He's got an expensive car.
01:10:54I want to know
01:10:54how he makes his money.
01:10:56So we find out
01:10:56the doctor's name
01:10:57and we check him out.
01:10:58Right now.
01:10:58Much more shit.
01:10:59Bye.
01:10:59Bye.
01:10:59Bye.
01:10:59Bye.
01:10:59Bye.
01:10:59Bye.
01:10:59Bye.
01:10:59Bye.
01:11:00Bye.
01:11:01Bye.
01:11:01Bye.
01:11:01Bye.
01:11:03Boy, that's Jeffrey Wieslow.
01:11:06He thinks of everything,
01:11:06doesn't he?
01:11:07Well, I don't know
01:11:08what I would have done
01:11:08without him.
01:11:09Ever since this whole thing
01:11:10started, I've been cooped up here.
01:11:12But he calls me
01:11:13two or three times a day
01:11:14and he doesn't seem
01:11:15to run out of
01:11:16thoughtful gestures.
01:11:17He's one of a kind,
01:11:18all right.
01:11:19Yeah.
01:11:20You know, he's not due here
01:11:22for another half hour.
01:11:23I know.
01:11:23That's why I came early.
01:11:25Is something wrong?
01:11:26No, no, no.
01:11:27We're making real progress.
01:11:28But don't get me wrong.
01:11:29We're still not out
01:11:30of the woods yet.
01:11:32But I came to talk
01:11:33to you about Jeffrey.
01:11:34Is he okay?
01:11:35Well, yes.
01:11:36Well, in a way.
01:11:38You know, I know
01:11:39this is none of my business,
01:11:40but I just gotta know.
01:11:43What are your feelings
01:11:44about him?
01:11:46Well, I'm very grateful
01:11:47to him and you
01:11:49for helping me.
01:11:51You've both been
01:11:52really good friends.
01:11:53Mm-hmm.
01:11:54Did you ever think
01:11:55that all this attention
01:11:57that he's lavishing
01:11:58in your direction,
01:11:58that he might have feelings
01:12:01for you more than
01:12:01just friendship?
01:12:04Uh, no.
01:12:07I mean, I would never
01:12:08do anything to encourage him.
01:12:10I don't want to hurt
01:12:11his feelings,
01:12:12but I would feel terrible.
01:12:13Hey, hey, it's okay.
01:12:15I understand.
01:12:17You know,
01:12:18I had this uncle once.
01:12:21He had a similar problem.
01:12:22He was head over here
01:12:22in love with this young lady,
01:12:24you know.
01:12:24And just before he was
01:12:26about to embarrass
01:12:27both of them
01:12:27by giving her this,
01:12:28uh, expensive piece
01:12:30of jewelry,
01:12:31she told him that,
01:12:33uh,
01:12:34she had this boyfriend,
01:12:34I think his name
01:12:35was Harold,
01:12:36waiting for her back home.
01:12:38Hmm.
01:12:40That was very convenient,
01:12:42wasn't it?
01:12:42Sure was.
01:12:43Ray.
01:12:48Yeah.
01:12:49I got the name
01:12:50of that doctor.
01:12:51It's Dr. Sean Orman.
01:12:52Mm-hmm.
01:12:52Turns out that he doesn't
01:12:53work in a hospital
01:12:54or have a practice.
01:12:55Works at Bay Area Blood Bank.
01:12:57Then how can they afford
01:12:58that car?
01:12:59When did you just say
01:13:00he came back from
01:13:01that run with that van?
01:13:02About 2.30.
01:13:03Mm-hmm.
01:13:05They may be on their way
01:13:06one now.
01:13:36They may be on their way
01:14:06and they may be on their way.
01:14:11Lieutenant Graham, please.
01:14:13Hey, Lieutenant,
01:14:14this is Ray Alexander.
01:14:15Well, at least you could say
01:14:17good morning,
01:14:18how are you,
01:14:18instead of the Tyree.
01:14:20All right, stop, stop, stop.
01:14:22I've got something for you.
01:14:36Good morning, guys.
01:14:55Thank you, sir.
01:14:57There's a hell of a scheme you guys got going there.
01:15:16There's a hell of a scheme.
01:15:18This is stale plasma, isn't it?
01:15:22No good.
01:15:22So you make a deal with Dr. Foreman to commission your phony company to dispose of all this stale plasma.
01:15:35Except, you know, you've got new labels on here.
01:15:39You know what I think?
01:15:42I think you're trying to sell this stale plasma to some third world country.
01:15:46It's fresh, new plasma.
01:15:47But Atlanta Duran's health organization is distributorship, huh?
01:15:53It's a health plan.
01:15:54You're going to make a lot of money.
01:15:56But Judge Hartman, he wasn't going for it, was he?
01:15:58He didn't want to take advantage of all those people.
01:16:01So he backed out, and one of you killed him.
01:16:06How am I doing so far?
01:16:07Hmm?
01:16:17I don't want to hurt you, Bobby.
01:16:35I don't want to hurt you, Bobby.
01:16:47Only one way out, son.
01:16:59Stay put.
01:17:22Oh, come on.
01:17:23You let him go.
01:17:28Come on, please.
01:17:28Let me go.
01:17:30I'll give you anything you want.
01:17:31There's only one thing I really want.
01:17:33You name it.
01:17:34The name of that critic is going to review my restaurant next week.
01:17:42There's another one inside.
01:17:43He's a paramedic.
01:17:45Can you play your cards right, lieutenant?
01:17:46There could be a promotion in this for you.
01:17:48I may even recommend you for one myself.
01:17:59Come on.
01:17:59Now.
01:17:59Congratulations.
01:18:00Yes!
01:18:01Come on!
01:18:02Yes!
01:18:03Yes!
01:18:03Nice!
01:18:03Hey!
01:18:04Oh!
01:18:04Yes!
01:18:04It's my body.
01:18:05Yes!
01:18:05Damn it!
01:18:06Come on!
01:18:06No...
01:18:07Noizers!
01:18:07No!
01:18:08No!
01:18:08Noony!
01:18:10Oh, my God!
01:18:10No!
01:18:11Noй!
01:18:12Noone!
01:18:13No!
01:18:14No!
01:18:14No!
01:18:15No!
01:18:15No!
01:18:16No!
01:18:17No!
01:18:17No!
01:18:18No!
01:18:18No!
01:18:18No!
01:18:19No!
01:18:20No!
01:18:21No!
01:18:21No!
01:18:24Don't come back.
01:18:39Yeah, I'll miss you too.
01:18:45I don't want to be disturbed.
01:18:54I figured it had to be you.
01:18:57You popped the judge, didn't you?
01:18:59When I heard that those two creeps were using that gun as an insurance policy,
01:19:03I figured that had to be the murder weapon.
01:19:07They were blackmailing you, weren't they?
01:19:09You're the only one with any cash.
01:19:11Donnell had to rob that house in order to give you an advance.
01:19:15How did you get in here?
01:19:17If I was you, I'd start worrying about how you was going to get out.
01:19:21You have no right to be here.
01:19:23I have your accomplice outside.
01:19:25There's the murder weapon, Lieutenant.
01:19:27I don't know anything about that.
01:19:29The young man that was in here brought an end with him.
01:19:32If, in fact, that is the murder weapon, you won't find my fingerprints on it.
01:19:36Well, not on the outside, but on the inside, on the clip.
01:19:40Am I right?
01:19:40I want to speak to my lawyer.
01:19:43I bet you do.
01:19:45You'll be coming with us, won't you?
01:19:46By the way, when you hired me for all that money,
01:19:52you never did tell me what it was you wanted me to do.
01:19:55Well, my, my, I wouldn't begin to know how to do that.
01:20:08Phew.
01:20:08Hey, where you been?
01:20:17Winslow's about to have a stroke.
01:20:19I can't go through with this, Ray.
01:20:21You what?
01:20:22Look, no matter what Nick has done, he saved my life.
01:20:25Oh, no, no.
01:20:25We need your testimony to link that cigar box with that safe.
01:20:28I know, but as soon as he sees me, he's going to know that I betrayed him.
01:20:32I see, and that goes against your principles, huh?
01:20:35Yes, it does.
01:20:36Well, that's very high-minded, but come here, let me talk to you.
01:20:41Now, we're going to go past the part about your friend being dirty,
01:20:43and we're going to talk about you just doing your job.
01:20:46Now, wait a minute.
01:20:47You're the one who insists on being an investigator, right?
01:20:49Well, this is part of it.
01:20:50This is the honest con.
01:20:51This is the lie you use to find the truth.
01:20:55This is the price of admission.
01:21:01Hey.
01:21:17Look, I want you to go in that courtroom right now
01:21:20and do the job that you swore that you would do.
01:21:23You're going to do that?
01:21:25Yes.
01:21:27Are you sure?
01:21:29Yes.
01:21:30Go for it.
01:21:38Shh.
01:21:41All right.
01:21:41All right.
01:21:42All right.
01:21:43Just back off there a little bit.
01:21:45Yes, as I predicted would happen at the very beginning of these proceedings,
01:21:49Miss Parker has been proven innocent.
01:21:52Her only crime
01:21:53was trying to protect the reputation of an old and dear friend
01:21:58from these libelous assumptions of their purely platonic relationship.
01:22:03My investigation uncovered not only the actual murderer,
01:22:08but a massive criminal conspiracy with international implications,
01:22:12which you can all read about in the series I'll be doing for the Sentinel.
01:22:16Thank you very much.
01:22:17Thank you very much.
01:22:24Let's go home.
01:22:26Please.
01:22:27Please.
01:22:27Please.
01:22:28Please.
01:22:28Please.
01:22:35Anybody back in this scene ready?
01:22:37Raid!
01:22:38Raid!
01:22:38You looking for me, Uncle Phil?
01:22:40Ray.
01:22:41On the sign on the window says Ray's,
01:22:44the customers expect to see some Ray once in a while.
01:22:47Uncle Phil.
01:22:48Uncle Phil what?
01:22:49I brought you something.
01:22:50What?
01:22:52Second chance.
01:22:54Adele.
01:22:55Adele, I know I haven't been exactly honest with you,
01:22:58but I haven't been exactly this...
01:23:00Adele, please be quiet.
01:23:01I know that you meant well.
01:23:03The reason I left is because
01:23:05I haven't exactly been honest with you either.
01:23:08What?
01:23:09I know.
01:23:11I gave the impression that I'm a well-to-do widow,
01:23:15but the truth is, since my husband passed away,
01:23:18I've been working as a bookkeeper,
01:23:20and I'm retiring to live on my pension.
01:23:23Well, don't sweat it, Adele.
01:23:27Whatever happens, we both will have a place to eat.
01:23:37Hey.
01:23:38It's a surprise.
01:23:40Wait a minute.
01:23:41You have a reservation.
01:23:43I heard that you had that woman arrested.
01:23:46Well, I told you it was just strictly professional.
01:23:49Ray.
01:23:51Do I owe you an apology?
01:23:54You know, I think we owe each other an apology.
01:23:56How about that?
01:23:57Bee magazine?
01:24:03Bee magazine?
01:24:04Your advance copy.
01:24:06Marvin, I never would have guessed that you were the ghostly gourmet.
01:24:10Did I say I was the ghostly gourmet?
01:24:12Well, I'll tell you.
01:24:12If this review is positive, then secret is safe with me.
01:24:15Be comfortable.
01:24:18So, what do you think?
01:24:20Honey, this place isn't that good.
01:24:23Oh, I don't know.
01:24:26Hey, Jeffrey.
01:24:27What happened to your beard?
01:24:29Oh, she thought I would look younger without it.
01:24:33Yeah.
01:24:33All right.
01:24:37What's the commotion around here?
01:24:39Huh?
01:24:42I guess it must be me.
01:24:44Johnny, I didn't know you were a star cook.
01:24:46Well, I figured my barbecue sauce might spice up the menu a little bit.
01:24:50When I asked you to do me a favor, this is not what I meant.
01:24:52All right, y'all, listen up.
01:24:55Time for the main course of your dinner.
01:24:57Ladies and gentlemen, the great Johnny Mathis.
01:25:01You make me feel so young.
01:25:17You make me feel so spring has sprung.
01:25:21And every time I see you grin, I'm such a happy individual.
01:25:28The moment that you speak, I want to go play hide and seek.
01:25:36I want to go and bounce the moon, just like a toy balloon.
01:25:44You and I are just like a couple of tots.
01:25:50Running across the meadow, picking up lots of forget-me-nots.
01:25:59You make me feel so young.
01:26:03You make me feel there are songs to be sung,
01:26:07bells to be rung, and a wonderful fling to be flung.
01:26:11And even when I'm old and gray, I want to feel the way I do today.
01:26:21Cause you make me feel so young.
01:26:26Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
