00:00:00Who's he?
00:00:01Never mind. Just do what he says.
00:00:03Who's he? Who are you?
00:00:04Quincy, car in his office.
00:00:05He saved the kid's life.
00:00:07Who's the medical examiner?
00:00:08Quincy.
00:00:09Oh, no.
00:00:10I am the presiding medical officer.
00:00:12If I tell you you've got a homicide, buddy, you've got a homicide!
00:00:16Oh, I don't believe it.
00:00:17If you can't find a dead body handy, you dig one up.
00:00:19That kind of talk is very dangerous.
00:00:21Dangerous?
00:00:24Joke!
00:00:25No!
00:00:30.
00:00:30.
00:00:31.
00:00:31.
00:00:31.
00:00:31.
00:01:06I want to thank you.
00:01:09Are we being a little formal?
00:01:11No, I mean for everything.
00:01:12I couldn't have done it without you.
00:01:15I love you.
00:01:17That makes it hard.
00:01:19That sounded kind of final.
00:01:22I just wanted you to know that I cared.
00:01:29Steve!
00:01:30Steve, you're hurting my neck!
00:01:31Steve!
00:01:33Steve!
00:01:41You call it, honey.
00:01:42Should we shoot across the Bora Bora
00:01:44or dip down across Papiete?
00:01:47I think Bora Bora could be a bit drafty.
00:01:50Drafty? In the tropics?
00:01:51I meant below deck.
00:01:53You know, I could promise that in a couple of months
00:01:55I'll have the boat fixed and everything like that.
00:01:57It takes a lot of time to restore beauty like this.
00:02:01You want chili on your dog?
00:02:03You bet.
00:02:04I know what you're thinking.
00:02:06You're thinking I'll never get around to it, huh?
00:02:08I don't make any more promises.
00:02:09Because when you do, you end up feeling guilty
00:02:11and apologizing for the rest of your life.
00:02:12What you're really talking about is us.
00:02:15As far as I'm concerned,
00:02:17we have no obligations to each other.
00:02:19You can come and go as you wish.
00:02:24Well, answer it!
00:02:34Oh, I don't believe it, Sam.
00:02:37I'm sorry, Quince.
00:02:38Well, can't you get somebody else?
00:02:40I'm working on a sunset you wouldn't believe.
00:02:42I tried.
00:02:44But Braverman's already out.
00:02:46You're on call.
00:02:47All right, what is it?
00:02:48Well, maybe it won't take so long.
00:02:50It's just on the coast from you.
00:02:51A homicide.
00:02:52All right, give me directions, will you?
00:03:03I'm sorry.
00:03:05No apologies, remember?
00:03:07Yeah, but you probably had to trade with a girl
00:03:09to get the time for a date.
00:03:11Oh, no, I don't trade with the girls.
00:03:13Being one of the oldest active airline stewardesses,
00:03:16they have to reschedule entire flights
00:03:18around my social life.
00:03:20It's a company rule.
00:03:29Listen, uh, I'll tell you what you do.
00:03:32You go down there, you arrange everything,
00:03:36get it all comfy and cozy,
00:03:37and I'll be back before you can finish your hot dog.
00:03:44Oh, honey, I know you're mad.
00:04:11I know you're mad.
00:04:17Current is case number 76-10835.
00:04:20Jane Doe, 143.
00:04:22External findings.
00:04:24Contused cervical abrasion right of midline.
00:04:31Nails clean and well kept.
00:04:33No fractures present.
00:04:35No prominent defense wounds present on hands or forearms.
00:04:43An old shin contusion present.
00:04:48Note, material adhering to solar foot.
00:04:51Good evening.
00:05:17Good evening.
00:05:20Good evening, bro.
00:05:21Well, what do we have?
00:05:23All the signs of a textbook rape.
00:05:25Who's the medical examiner?
00:05:26Quincy.
00:05:27Oh, no.
00:05:34Is this all she had with her?
00:05:35Yeah.
00:05:36Bathing suit top here, a pack of cigarettes in the pocket, and that's about it.
00:05:40You know, nothing special.
00:05:43Well, what I mean is that there didn't seem to be anything especially special.
00:05:49It's a pack of cigarettes in her pocket.
00:05:51You notice the brand?
00:05:51Yeah, they're, uh...
00:05:54I was very, very careful.
00:05:57Evening, Quincy.
00:05:58Nice to see you.
00:05:59Well, what does it look like to you?
00:06:01It looks like you still haven't told your men what not to do at the scene of a homicide.
00:06:07I suppose we've obliterated the fatal scientific clue that could have nailed this rapist in his track.
00:06:13You may never know, Lieutenant.
00:06:16Look, Quincy.
00:06:17I work with other medical examiners all day, all week.
00:06:20They don't get in my way, I don't get in theirs, and we solve a lot of cases.
00:06:23In other words, they stay out of the way of my detectives.
00:06:26I don't let my boys put their fingers in your cotton-picking swabs.
00:06:30I was wondering how she got here.
00:06:32Didn't you ever hear of public transportation?
00:06:34In Los Angeles?
00:06:35Look, Quincy.
00:06:37Stop trying to make out of this more than a simple rape.
00:06:40I never knew there was such a thing.
00:06:42You know what I mean.
00:06:43I know what you mean.
00:06:44Lieutenant, we've got a live one not far from here.
00:06:46There might be a connection.
00:06:47All right, let's go.
00:06:51We're naturally with an APP on the murder down at the beach.
00:06:54We took the suit.
00:06:55I did what I thought was great, Lieutenant.
00:06:57Take it easy.
00:06:59Kid's in shock.
00:07:01Two bullet wounds.
00:07:03It's hemorrhaging internally.
00:07:04When you get him on the road, stop pumping the plasma.
00:07:11Kid's in pretty bad shape.
00:07:13What's he supposed to have now?
00:07:14He assaulted and murdered that girl down at the beach.
00:07:16You clutching at straws?
00:07:18This officer spotted a kid just after he had stashed a purse at the gasoline station in the men's room.
00:07:23That's purse snatching.
00:07:24Maybe.
00:07:24No, there was a wallet inside the purse.
00:07:27A picture of a very pretty girl, the girl we left down on the beach.
00:07:31Was there any more questions, Doc?
00:07:33Yeah.
00:07:33How are you going to justify pumping that kid for a letter if it turns out he isn't the one
00:07:37who killed that girl?
00:07:38And I don't think he is.
00:07:39Oh, is this your opinion or a medical fact?
00:07:42Right now, it's an opinion.
00:07:43I think he's too small to have subdued that girl.
00:07:45Oh, now who's clutching at straws?
00:07:48Look, a guy gets all worked up.
00:07:50He can be awfully tough.
00:07:51Besides, who said he was alone?
00:07:54Look, Doc, if you get any more brainstorms, put them in writing, will you?
00:07:57Through channels.
00:08:10Sam!
00:08:11Sam, you in there?
00:08:12Yeah.
00:08:13Good.
00:08:14Three o'clock in the morning.
00:08:16I'll get you for this, Quincy.
00:08:17If it wasn't important, I wouldn't have brought you down here.
00:08:18They bringing the girl yet?
00:08:20She's in prep.
00:08:21Set up a latent print lift.
00:08:22Done.
00:08:23What else would you be going for at this hour of the morning?
00:08:26But we've got about as much chance as a...
00:08:28Chinaman in hell.
00:08:30Quincy, that's a slur against the Chinese.
00:08:32I keep on telling you I'm Japanese.
00:08:35What's the difference?
00:08:36Come on.
00:08:37Wait, I'll be right with you.
00:08:38I'm going to make a phone call.
00:08:40Three o'clock in the morning?
00:08:41Who do you hate this much?
00:08:44Aston?
00:08:44Not even close.
00:08:53Yeah?
00:08:54Listen, honey, I'm sorry, but I had to run down to the lab.
00:08:57There's a chance in a thousand that I could lift a fingerprint off a murder victim's neck.
00:09:00See, it's a new technique I've been pioneering, and...
00:09:02Well, it could be vital.
00:09:03Well, don't apologize.
00:09:05I understand.
00:09:07I know.
00:09:07I should have called you sooner.
00:09:09Well, you said up front, no commitments, no obligations.
00:09:14I would like to go back to sleep.
00:09:16There you go.
00:09:17I woke you up.
00:09:18I forgot about it.
00:09:18I'm sorry.
00:09:19I didn't mean to...
00:09:19Lee, I didn't...
00:09:20Lee?
00:09:21Lee!
00:09:25Really got her mad, huh?
00:09:27Furious.
00:09:28But you won't admit it.
00:09:29She smiles at everything I do.
00:09:32Never complains.
00:09:34She's driving me nuts.
00:09:36Come on, let's see if I can find the girl's killer.
00:09:54Okay, patch it up on the screen.
00:09:59Right index finger.
00:10:00Go in on.
00:10:05Next finger.
00:10:11We were too late to get a fingerprint, Quincy.
00:10:13Even under optimum condition, it's a long shot.
00:10:16Still, we have an outline of the killer's hands.
00:10:19Looks big.
00:10:20You know what Monahan would say?
00:10:22That only proves she didn't strangle herself.
00:10:25Good morning, Lieutenant.
00:10:27Oh, really?
00:10:28Well, when did that happen?
00:10:30Last night?
00:10:31Oh, I could promise that within an hour.
00:10:34Let me see who handled that call last night.
00:10:36It was...
00:10:40It was Dr. Quincy.
00:10:43No, no.
00:10:44No, Lieutenant.
00:10:44I gave you a deadline and I will stand by it.
00:10:47No.
00:10:47No, I will be in touch.
00:10:53Sylvia, would you tell Dr. Quincy that...
00:10:57Well, Sylvia, never mind.
00:10:58I'll tell him myself.
00:11:09Quincy, is this your case?
00:11:11Naturally, we're all bereaved by the senseless death that has taken one of our most loyal and beloved workers.
00:11:18But we must commend the police department for the efficient, diligent manner in which it continues to make lawlessness unprofitable
00:11:26under this mayor's administration.
00:11:30A girl dies and they hold a rally.
00:11:32Meanwhile, a new development on the City Hall murder.
00:11:36A young transient, Peter Gordon, was apprehended by police shortly before dawn, not more than three miles from where Diane
00:11:42Johnson's body was found brutally assaulted a few short hours before.
00:11:47The boy was shot, resisting arrest.
00:11:50In other news today...
00:11:51In other news today...
00:11:52Looks like they're sure they have their man.
00:11:53Right, kid. Assaults a girl, then flees the scene at three miles an hour.
00:11:58Good morning.
00:12:00Good morning.
00:12:00Good morning, sir.
00:12:01Good morning, Dr. Aston.
00:12:02Good morning, Dr. Quincy.
00:12:03Good morning, Dr. Quincy.
00:12:04Dr. Aston?
00:12:05I, uh, just got a call from Lieutenant Monahan.
00:12:08Well, naturally, I assured him...
00:12:10My report is not ready, sir.
00:12:12But I understand that we've been working all night.
00:12:14Surely we've arrived at the cause of death in the mode.
00:12:17We have, sir.
00:12:18Well, good.
00:12:19Then I'll just...
00:12:20No, we'll just have to wait, sir.
00:12:23Now, Dr. Quincy, you may not feel that it's necessary to maintain diplomatic channels with our police department, but I
00:12:30am charged with the responsibility...
00:12:32Of supplying complete and accurate information which we just don't have right now.
00:12:36Not if you spend all night wasting time on that, that, that experimental fingerprints off the human tissue theory of
00:12:43yours.
00:12:43That is not theory, doctor.
00:12:45That's fact.
00:12:45I've proven it twice.
00:12:46Neither effort proved to be admissible in court.
00:12:49Neither case demanded the assailant's fingerprints on his victims' bodies.
00:12:53This one might.
00:12:55Well, now, I, I didn't realize that...
00:13:00Well, uh, what did we come up with?
00:13:05Well, uh, we were late.
00:13:09The salt air, the sand, the oils from the fingerprint.
00:13:13They were gone.
00:13:14Gone!
00:13:18I will tell Monaghan that the girl died of strangulation, was assaulted.
00:13:23And that will be that.
00:13:25Don't forget the broken neck.
00:13:26It was snapped like a dry twig by powerful hands.
00:13:31I'll mention it.
00:13:34Uh, Sam.
00:13:35Yes, sir.
00:13:38Good.
00:13:42The lieutenant would like a blood type on the alleged assailant to be sure that it matches with the semen
00:13:47smears taken from the victim.
00:13:49Now, why don't you check it out?
00:13:52Yes, sir.
00:13:57I'm sorry, Quincy.
00:13:58Oh, listen, thanks for trying.
00:14:00Now, about that blood type, you can figure out about it. I'll take care of it.
00:14:02I don't know, Quincy.
00:14:03He seemed to want me to...
00:14:04Sam, what is this?
00:14:06Cooley labor?
00:14:07Can't expect a man to work all day and all night.
00:14:10Now, you go home and get some sleep.
00:14:11That's an order.
00:14:12Banzai.
00:14:13You're welcome.
00:14:26You're welcome.
00:14:27Dr. Quincy, coroner's office.
00:14:29I'm here in reference to a Peter Gordon.
00:14:31You're early.
00:14:32He's still alive.
00:14:33Well, things are a little slow.
00:14:36Take this to Dr. Morgan.
00:14:37May I see his chart, please?
00:14:39You have to speak to Dr. Stone.
00:14:40He's the resident.
00:14:40Well, all I really want is this blood type.
00:14:43You know what that is?
00:14:43Get a phone for a blood type.
00:14:45Well, I was hoping I might be able to speak to the patient.
00:14:48I didn't know the car in his office was into live patients.
00:14:51Oh, we are into things, my dear, that would astound you.
00:14:55Not around here.
00:14:56This is the intensive care ward, in case you hadn't noticed.
00:14:59Yeah, I noticed it.
00:14:59This is rather intense around here.
00:15:06Cardiac emergency.
00:15:07Get Dr. Stone.
00:15:09You have to leave, or Mr. Gordon is dying.
00:15:15Where's Dr. Stone?
00:15:16He's on a break.
00:15:17I had him paint.
00:15:18Get me one cc of epinephrine and some calcium gluconate.
00:15:20Take two cc's and move it.
00:15:22Who's he?
00:15:23Never mind.
00:15:24Just do what he says.
00:15:29Who's he?
00:15:31Give me some juice.
00:15:37You got enough to maximum?
00:15:38Right.
00:15:39Give it to me again.
00:15:43Give it to me again.
00:15:46Give it to me again.
00:15:56You better get your lab work done right away.
00:16:05Who's he?
00:16:06Who are you?
00:16:07Quincy, car in his office.
00:16:08Car in his office?
00:16:10He saved the kid's life.
00:16:13Yeah, well, give me your city number to fill out 50 forms over this mess.
00:16:18Sorry it has caused you all that trouble, Doc.
00:16:33Lieutenant.
00:16:34Hey, Quincy.
00:16:35Well, I see a half-deliver in person.
00:16:37There was no rush.
00:16:38There might be.
00:16:41Half the blood-type snacks.
00:16:42The kid did it.
00:16:43No, no, no, no, no.
00:16:44That's why I came over personally.
00:16:46Now, this report only shows that the kid could have done it.
00:16:48There were three million people out in the city with the same blood type.
00:16:52Yeah, but they weren't found with the victim's purse.
00:16:54Well, maybe he found the body, ripped off the purse.
00:16:56Quincy, why are you doing this to me, huh?
00:16:57It's an open and shut case.
00:16:59Well, where do you see this?
00:17:00I'm not sure what you gotta say.
00:17:01How about that?
00:17:04What's this?
00:17:05It's an outline of the killer's hand on Diane Johnson's neck.
00:17:10Now, this is an outline of Peter Gordon's hand.
00:17:12You see how small this is, how large this is?
00:17:14Oh, hold on, Quincy.
00:17:15Now, look, I may not be a super-sty boy sleuth,
00:17:17but I do know that a hard force against a pliable surface
00:17:21does not leave a representative imprint.
00:17:24Hmm?
00:17:25Did you ever walk on the beach?
00:17:26Look at your footprints in the sand.
00:17:28They're like a giant's.
00:17:29You're not even gonna try, are you, Lieutenant?
00:17:31Sure, there's reasonable enlargement, but this isn't reasonable.
00:17:34Look at the difference!
00:17:35You're not being reasonable, huh?
00:17:36Will you have pity on me?
00:17:38I got cases up to here, and now let me get at them, will you?
00:17:41One more page.
00:17:41Do me a favor.
00:17:42Read that page.
00:17:43Go ahead, please.
00:17:44Quincy, this isn't a medical report, it's a consumer's digest.
00:17:50What's this about cigarette packages?
00:17:52Well, the victim was carrying a pack of cigarettes when she was murdered.
00:17:55Medically speaking, this offends you?
00:17:57Medically speaking, I thought it might be important for you to know
00:18:00that based on an examination of the girl's lungs, she didn't smoke.
00:18:05What does that got to do with anything?
00:18:06I mean, if they weren't Diane Johnson's cigarettes, whose cigarettes were they?
00:18:10It isn't logical that the rapist asked her to hold his cigarettes for him, is it?
00:18:13Quincy, rapists don't jump out from underneath the pier only on television.
00:18:16Nine times out of ten, it's somebody the victim is picked up in a bar
00:18:19or sitting on a bench, you name it.
00:18:21It always starts out as a nice sociable conversation,
00:18:24and before you know it, the girl is raped, or in this case, dead.
00:18:27Ordinarily, I would agree with you, Lieutenant,
00:18:28but this kid is too small to have snapped her neck!
00:18:31And I'm telling you, I've seen too many crimes of passion, the kid did it.
00:18:34Now get out of here, I got work to do.
00:18:38Uh...
00:18:39Uh...
00:19:07Well, I'm not gonna ask you how it feels. Hurts like the dickens, right?
00:19:14Why'd you tell me what happened?
00:19:19You're the one that saved my life?
00:19:20I was here.
00:19:22Too bad.
00:19:23You're welcome.
00:19:25You want me to thank you for letting me live?
00:19:29You ever been to a place where they do hard time?
00:19:31I've been there.
00:19:32Yeah, they're like I'm young.
00:19:34I got a great life ahead of me.
00:19:36You're really feeling sorry for yourself, aren't you?
00:19:38Wouldn't you?
00:19:39No, not after I just ripped off a dead person's belongings, no.
00:19:43Hey, I thought you wanted to help me.
00:19:45That's right.
00:19:45I don't like to see anybody become a patsy for a crime they didn't commit,
00:19:49but that doesn't mean I like you.
00:19:50You're a punk kid who would rip off a buck wherever you would get it,
00:19:53and I hope they nail you for it.
00:19:55I'll try to see that they don't nail you for what you didn't do.
00:19:57Why?
00:19:58Not because of you, but because somebody took a beautiful young life
00:20:02and they snuffed that out.
00:20:03And I don't want to see them get away with it
00:20:05because our system was able to lay it off on you.
00:20:09Don't forget to shine your halo.
00:20:21I'm Dr. Quincy from the coroner's office.
00:20:23Is the deputy mayor in?
00:20:25Don't tell me.
00:20:25You can't get in to see the mayor, so you're trying an end run.
00:20:29Are you the end?
00:20:31I'm not bad.
00:20:33Listen, if I promise to go away and leave you alone,
00:20:36will you answer a question for me?
00:20:37What is it?
00:20:38How old did you know Diane Johnson?
00:20:42Another fan club is heard from.
00:20:46What's the matter?
00:20:46You forgot your Diane Johnson T-shirt this morning?
00:20:48What did I do?
00:20:50What can you want from her now? She's dead.
00:20:52Well, there are a few things I wondered about. Like, did she smoke?
00:20:55Body beautiful?
00:20:56Was she a health freak?
00:20:59I'd like to say she never put anything in her body that wasn't organically grown.
00:21:04But I couldn't do it with a straight face.
00:21:08Am I being overly sensitive or do I detect a lack of sentimentality for the deceased?
00:21:14She was the pushiest broad I ever met.
00:21:16I hated her guts the day she moved in.
00:21:19And did she move in?
00:21:21Was she here long?
00:21:22Three months.
00:21:23But she made the most of them.
00:21:25Any regular boyfriends?
00:21:28Diane had a strict policy of always mixing business with pleasure.
00:21:32How do you think she made the jump so fast from that little squirrel to the mayor's office?
00:21:36Squirrel?
00:21:37Her first boss, Mr. Marcus.
00:21:39He made such a fool of himself, he still isn't right.
00:21:45Yes?
00:21:46There's a gentleman to see you from the coroner's office, Mr. Marcus.
00:21:50Well, is it important?
00:21:52I mean, I'm terribly busy.
00:21:54He'll have to make a more convenient appointment.
00:21:56Well, we're investigating a case, Mr. Marcus. A possible homicide?
00:21:59If it would be convenient, I can come back anytime you say.
00:22:07Tell Miss Tobin to make you a more convenient appointment.
00:22:09Preferably tomorrow. And make it late in the day.
00:22:12Yes, sir.
00:22:14Very personable.
00:22:15Did you ever meet him? I mean face to face.
00:22:18Mr. Quincy, this is a city hall.
00:22:20And Mr. Marcus is a very busy and a very important person.
00:22:24City hall? Wow.
00:22:26I almost forgot where I was for a minute.
00:22:27I'm still a little nervous about working here myself.
00:22:30I'll bet.
00:22:32How about 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon?
00:22:34Oh, 4 o'clock will be fine.
00:22:35You don't mind if I check in with my office, do you?
00:22:37We just got a new patient in today. He came in this afternoon.
00:22:40But you said you were with the coroner's office.
00:22:43Doesn't that mean all your patients are dead?
00:22:46Well, I have to make sure he didn't die of something serious.
00:22:48Something terrible has happened.
00:22:50I'm really frightened.
00:22:53Hello? Is somebody on this line?
00:22:55Oh, excuse me, Mr. Marcus.
00:22:57I didn't know you were on this line.
00:22:58I'll see you tomorrow at 4.
00:23:13I frightened him.
00:23:14Do you see the significance in that?
00:23:16The guy has got something he's trying to hide.
00:23:18I think I'm on the right road.
00:23:20Of course you are.
00:23:21You want to open the line or just toss the salad?
00:23:24Toss the salad?
00:23:25Lee, you're not listening.
00:23:26I'm talking about a homicide.
00:23:28I'm talking about a boy's life that could be in my hands.
00:23:30Tonight?
00:23:31Well, I realize it's important, but there isn't anything more you can do about it tonight.
00:23:35You do have to eat.
00:23:36Keep up your strength if you're going to be any good to anybody.
00:23:39And I have gone to a great deal of trouble.
00:23:41Yes, you have.
00:23:42I'm sorry.
00:23:43I just can't seem to unwind.
00:23:47I keep thinking about all those loose ends nobody cares about.
00:23:51Monahan's so worried about that avalanche and paperwork and cases.
00:23:57Asked if he's scared to death he'll pick out the wrong tie to go to a board meeting with.
00:24:01You know, they're worried about little obligations and their mortgages and...
00:24:06And, uh...
00:24:08What?
00:24:10Look at this.
00:24:13Honey, I was so into myself I didn't really realize what wonderful things you had done.
00:24:19The food and the table here and the wine.
00:24:23Cabernet. How do you say that, honey?
00:24:24Sauvignon.
00:24:25Sauvignon. 69.
00:24:26Wow.
00:24:27Wine is perfect.
00:24:28The food is perfect.
00:24:29And the table is perfect.
00:24:31The candles are perfect.
00:24:31The little flowers are perfect.
00:24:33And, of course, you're perfect.
00:24:35And you're not gonna get away with it, Lee.
00:24:38What are you talking about?
00:24:40This is not our deal, remember?
00:24:43No strings, no involvement.
00:24:45Just plain, simple friends.
00:24:47Oh, I don't believe this.
00:24:49You're gonna stand here and make a fuss over my making a fuss?
00:24:52I like to make a fuss.
00:24:53It makes me feel good to make a fuss.
00:24:56Don't you want me to feel good?
00:24:57Lee, don't you see?
00:24:58Don't you see how you're twisting the words around?
00:25:01Fuss is the operative word here.
00:25:02If you make a fuss, then I become special.
00:25:04I don't wanna be special.
00:25:05I just wanna be your pal.
00:25:10So answer the phone, pal.
00:25:13I'm sure it's for you.
00:25:14Why should it be for me?
00:25:15I don't live here.
00:25:16It's probably one of your boyfriends and you're embarrassed.
00:25:18You shouldn't be embarrassed.
00:25:19I would...
00:25:19Hello.
00:25:20Yeah, just a minute.
00:25:24What are you calling me here for, Sam?
00:25:27Quincy, I've been looking all over town for you.
00:25:29What am I supposed to do?
00:25:30Leave a trail of breadcrumbs?
00:25:32Besides, I'm off tonight.
00:25:33I know that.
00:25:35And I'm sticking my neck out a mile.
00:25:37But I knew you'd want to take this one personally.
00:25:39You're crazy.
00:25:40Why would I?
00:25:40It's Harold Marcus.
00:25:42My Harold Marcus?
00:25:44Yeah.
00:25:45The city controller you were telling me about.
00:25:47He's just been found dead in his apartment.
00:25:49Murdered?
00:25:50That's what you're supposed to find out.
00:25:52You're the medical examiner.
00:25:53You're very funny, you know that?
00:25:56Okay, thanks, Sam.
00:26:08That was Sam.
00:26:10Very important development.
00:26:13Yeah, I really owe the gold, you know that.
00:26:16Really important.
00:26:21Wow.
00:26:23Boy, that's terrific, honey.
00:26:25Does it freeze well?
00:26:30Well, I'm sure glad we have...
00:26:33You know, the kind of relationship we have.
00:26:34No explanations, no apologies, you know?
00:26:46Talk to me, Chris.
00:26:51Hi, I'm here.
00:26:55Touch me.
00:26:58Touch me.
00:27:00Watch me, friends.
00:27:00Oh?
00:27:02No...
00:27:03No, that's what it looks like.
00:27:04He wheeze.
00:27:04No, he's okay.
00:27:05It's okay.
00:27:05It's all right.
00:27:06You don't know.
00:27:08What's that?
00:27:09Are you going to give us a hint, or do I have to wade through one of your reports?
00:27:12Well, the neck was broken like a hanging.
00:27:14The body was positioned like a hanging.
00:27:16All outward appearances would indicate a hanging.
00:27:18Then we can assume that your report lists the cause of death as suicide.
00:27:21Homicide.
00:27:22Homicide?
00:27:23Made to look like suicide.
00:27:24How can you be sure?
00:27:25Lieutenant, when a person hangs, the vertebraes separate by elongation.
00:27:29They pull apart.
00:27:30Marcus's fourth and fifth vertebrae were snapped.
00:27:34Wait a minute.
00:27:35You don't mean the way Diane Johnson's neck was broken last night.
00:27:39Hey, Lieutenant, you could be on to something.
00:27:41Look, put it in writing.
00:27:43If I think you got something, we'll follow up on it.
00:27:44Now you're talking...
00:27:46I got a call from the boys who went to Marcus's office, Lieutenant.
00:27:48Anne?
00:27:48Suicide, all right.
00:27:49The boys found the note in Marcus's handwriting.
00:27:50His secretary identified it.
00:27:52The office was locked.
00:27:53He had to have left it there before he went home tonight.
00:27:55Now, suicide is out of the question.
00:27:56It's medically impossible.
00:27:57The vertebrae would have been elongated.
00:27:59So are your theories, Quincy.
00:28:00Do me a favor.
00:28:02Stop playing detective.
00:28:03You're a doctor, okay?
00:28:05Come on, Brill.
00:28:21Come on, Brill.
00:28:52You want to freshen it up?
00:28:53Well, what do you got for a headache?
00:28:56How bad?
00:28:57Terminal.
00:28:58Oh, I still got some of those painkillers you prescribed for my back.
00:29:02Do you any good?
00:29:03Yeah, you know, I can now press 200 pounds.
00:29:05How many?
00:29:07Hey, that reminds me.
00:29:08You know, my wife, she's got tonsillitis again.
00:29:12Yeah, her throat is so dry.
00:29:19Oh, Doc.
00:29:20You know, when I bring those doilies into the pharmacist, he, uh...
00:29:24I don't have anything.
00:29:26I got some prescription pads.
00:29:28Picked them up at the stationery store.
00:29:30Uh-huh.
00:29:33Good night, huh?
00:29:34I don't believe you.
00:29:41Yeah, you're aces, Doug.
00:29:49Uppers or downers?
00:29:51Oh, load levelers.
00:29:53How it tricks, Marilyn?
00:29:55How can you sell it when everybody's giving it away?
00:29:59May I buy the young lady a drink?
00:30:02I don't mind if I do.
00:30:04Relax, Marilyn.
00:30:06This guy's only interested in bodies that are dead.
00:30:11I heard about guys like you.
00:30:15What is it they call it?
00:30:17Pathology.
00:30:18It's pathetic.
00:30:20Hey, excuse me, honey.
00:30:22You're into weightlifting, right?
00:30:23Yeah.
00:30:23How hard would it be to lift a dead body over your head?
00:30:26See what I mean?
00:30:27Dead bodies.
00:30:28Come on.
00:30:29Hey, wait a minute.
00:30:30That's bulk weight.
00:30:31That's tough.
00:30:33Why would anybody want to?
00:30:34To reach the noose.
00:30:35Make it look like suicide.
00:30:37No kidding.
00:30:38How big would the body have to be?
00:30:42A Marilyn sauce.
00:30:46Oh, you're better off hoisting her up on a rope.
00:30:49But that would leave marks along the beam and slivers along the rope.
00:30:53The murderer wanted to make sure there wasn't a trace of a body being hoisted.
00:30:58So he lifted it into the noose.
00:30:59I figured the guy had to be very, very big, right?
00:31:05I think I can miss somebody else's eyes.
00:31:08Let's try.
00:31:09Not in here.
00:31:10My place.
00:31:11Hey, whatever you fellas got in mind, forget it.
00:31:15Wait a minute.
00:31:16Wait a minute.
00:31:17This guy's a very important official.
00:31:19Now, wouldn't you like to participate in the murder case?
00:31:23What do I get to be?
00:31:25The corpse?
00:31:26Yeah.
00:31:27Goodbye.
00:31:27Okay, Marilyn, Marilyn, let's buy Marilyn and another drink, okay?
00:31:30Look, no matter how drunk you guys make me, I'm still not going to change my mind.
00:31:41Besides, I never drink alone.
00:31:46Gonna go home in the morning.
00:31:49We're gonna go home in the morning.
00:31:54And start drinking all over again.
00:31:57Okay with me.
00:32:08Ordinarily, I get my money up front.
00:32:10Oh, yeah.
00:32:13Where does this go to?
00:32:14It goes right on up to the deck.
00:32:16The deck?
00:32:18The deck?
00:32:19Oh, it's a boat.
00:32:24He lives on an ever-loving yacht.
00:32:27Welcome aboard.
00:32:30Ah.
00:32:31I just love boats.
00:32:34Ah.
00:32:35Ah.
00:32:35Yeah.
00:32:45Oh, my God.
00:33:20Okay. Okay, Danny. Go ahead. Go limp, Marilyn. Don't fight him now. Go limp. Go limp.
00:33:24Attaboy. Go ahead, Danny. I hate to tell you fellas this, but we're gonna have to turn back. I'm getting
00:33:29seasick.
00:33:30Go ahead, Danny. I don't think I can do it, Quincy.
00:33:33Now, that proves my point, Danny. Marcus's killer must have had almost superhuman strength.
00:33:39But it's impossible for an ordinary man to lift a dead body up this high into a noose. Impossible.
00:33:45Are you sure it was this high?
00:33:47Maybe that helped. Let me give me a hand. Maybe we'll do it together, okay?
00:33:50Okay.
00:33:51All right. Hold on, okay? Here we go. Got it?
00:33:55Right. Up. Here we go. Good.
00:33:57Go ahead. Attaboy.
00:33:59Yeah, yeah. Come on. Get in there.
00:34:00We can do it. Hi, Lee. What are you doing here?
00:34:05Oh, Quincy. You're a sick man.
00:34:18We're either looking for multiple assailants or a giant of a man capable of great feats of strength.
00:34:24I personally lean to the giant theory.
00:34:27Huh?
00:34:27Well, the way the two necks were snapped.
00:34:30See, the neck is far more durable than most people think.
00:34:32Plus the fact that it would be impossible for a normal human being to lift a body into a noose
00:34:38ten feet in the air without help.
00:34:40Oh, I suppose you have some expertise in lifting dead bodies.
00:34:44Part of our basic trading, Lieutenant.
00:34:47All right. I'll study your conclusions and pass them along to the detectives in charge.
00:34:50Was there anything else?
00:34:52Yeah, as a matter of fact, there is.
00:34:53I was wondering about the results of the cigarette pack.
00:34:56Were there any fingerprints besides the cops, Sammy?
00:34:58Yeah. Yeah, the dead girls, police officers, and some unidentifiable smudges that could have belonged to anybody,
00:35:05including the sales girl in the store that sold them.
00:35:08Well, the murderer.
00:35:09We got the murderer, Peter Gordon.
00:35:11But Peter Gordon couldn't have murdered Harold Marcus. He was in the hospital.
00:35:14Quincy, Mr. Marcus wasn't murdered. He committed suicide. Remember the suicide note?
00:35:19Remember my report? Suicide was medically impossible?
00:35:22Quincy, let it drop.
00:35:23Let it drop? Is that what you said?
00:35:26Lieutenant, let it drop.
00:35:29Quincy, if you'll excuse me, I got work to do, huh?
00:35:31Wait a minute. Whoa here.
00:35:34I am the presiding medical officer.
00:35:36If I tell you you've got a homicide, buddy, you've got a homicide!
00:35:40We'll see.
00:35:41What is that supposed to mean?
00:35:43We have another medical examiner reviewing the case.
00:35:47Now, who's authorization?
00:35:50I suggest you check back with your department.
00:35:52Well, you can bet your brother's dollar that I'll do the...
00:35:55Quincy, there are only two possibilities.
00:35:58Either you deliberately ignore departmental practices to involve yourself where you do not belong,
00:36:04or you're trying to connect two unrelated deaths in some misguided effort to clear that boy.
00:36:11Now, whichever it is, don't get in my way again.
00:36:17There's always room for doubt.
00:36:19Come on. Whoever wrote this report is full of beans and you know it.
00:36:23I did it.
00:36:25You did it?
00:36:27Who's leaning on you?
00:36:29Quincy, Quincy, are you suggesting...
00:36:31No, no, no.
00:36:32I wouldn't want to imply that somebody waved the budget under your nose.
00:36:35But it is rather hard to accept as coincidence the fact that bodies are turning up all over City Hall,
00:36:41assaulted, strangled, hanged, and we're treating it like a rash of head colds.
00:36:45Hey, I suppose if a bus came to rest on the mayor's chest,
00:36:49we might issue a bulletin against illegal parking.
00:36:51Oh, that's really funny.
00:36:52You know, you're not even on this case anymore.
00:36:53What am I wasting my time for?
00:36:56Quincy?
00:37:05It's a terrible loss.
00:37:07I really don't want to talk about it.
00:37:09You cared a lot about Mr. Mark.
00:37:11Everyone did.
00:37:13Not everyone. Somebody killed him.
00:37:14It was suicide.
00:37:16Homicide.
00:37:17I don't want to talk about it.
00:37:19Peggy, I'm worried about you.
00:37:21Me?
00:37:21The pattern.
00:37:22What pattern?
00:37:24The girl on the beach, Harold Marcus.
00:37:26They both came from this office.
00:37:29Golly.
00:37:30I hadn't thought about that.
00:37:32Well, there's no need to be superstitious.
00:37:34I mean, bad things don't have to happen in threes.
00:37:37It wouldn't matter.
00:37:38Good. I'm not superstitious either.
00:37:40Oh, I am.
00:37:41But it wouldn't make any difference.
00:37:43There's already been three.
00:37:46Are you telling me a third person died out of this office?
00:37:49Oh, it was an accident, and it happened a long time ago.
00:37:52Over six months.
00:37:53But that does make three.
00:37:55Who?
00:37:55Who died?
00:37:56The girl who worked here before Diane Johnson.
00:37:59She died?
00:38:00Not here.
00:38:01Her Prince Charming swept her away from this desk on the wings of a dove.
00:38:05A dove?
00:38:07A 747.
00:38:09To Mexico.
00:38:11That's where she died.
00:38:13They said she was killed instantly in the crash.
00:38:16Her plane crashed?
00:38:17No.
00:38:18Their car went over a terrible cliff.
00:38:20Was their fiancé killed, too?
00:38:22No.
00:38:23He was very fortunate.
00:38:25Did you ever talk to him about the accident?
00:38:27I never met him.
00:38:28I don't know anyone who did.
00:38:30We all thought it was kind of odd, but he never came back here to pick up any of her
00:38:34things.
00:38:35It must have been too painful.
00:38:37Peggy.
00:38:38Peggy, I want you to listen to me very carefully.
00:38:41Now, think hard.
00:38:42Did you ever hear anyone discuss the exact nature of her death?
00:38:47Yeah.
00:38:48It was awful.
00:38:50I don't want to talk about it.
00:38:52Oh, Peggy, please.
00:38:53It's very important.
00:38:54Please.
00:38:58Well, when the car went off the cliff, she was apparently strapped in.
00:39:03They said she died of a broken neck.
00:39:09Quincy, what is so special about this case?
00:39:12Bob, my work is my life.
00:39:13Now, either I'll do it right or I'll hang it up for good.
00:39:15You insist on pushing.
00:39:16To the top.
00:39:24This is Dr. Raston.
00:39:26I would like to make an appointment for Dr. Quincy to meet with Deputy Mayor Collins.
00:39:31Four o'clock?
00:39:32Four o'clock?
00:39:32Four o'clock's fine.
00:39:34Four o'clock will be fine.
00:39:35Oh, yes.
00:39:35He'll be there.
00:39:35Yes.
00:39:39You're surprised?
00:39:41Yeah, I'll tell you the truth.
00:39:42We're all on the same side, Quincy.
00:39:45It's just that some of us have learned to appreciate and work within the system.
00:39:49Oh, four o'clock.
00:39:50Just a minute.
00:39:50I haven't finished you.
00:39:52One condition.
00:39:53Uh-huh.
00:39:54You tell the mayor everything you know about this case, then you come back here and you
00:39:59do your job and you let them do theirs.
00:40:02You got yourself a deal.
00:40:10This is hard to believe, Doctor.
00:40:12Does anyone else support your theories?
00:40:14Oh, these aren't theories, Your Honor.
00:40:16The girl on the beach had her neck broken.
00:40:18It was made to look like rape.
00:40:20Mr. Marcus had his neck broken.
00:40:21It was made to look like suicide.
00:40:23Now, there's a girl in Mexico whose neck was broken.
00:40:25I haven't checked it out.
00:40:26But if I'm right, it was made to look like an accident, too.
00:40:31How you guys scientifically figure these things out is beyond me.
00:40:35But isn't it a normal procedure for you to work directly with the police?
00:40:38This isn't a normal case.
00:40:40You use the word case, but you were talking about three separate murders.
00:40:43With one common denominator, City Hall.
00:40:46Then you believe there is definitely a connection?
00:40:48Someone's telling the police to lay off.
00:40:50Any idea who that could be?
00:40:51Nope.
00:40:52I'm more interested in why.
00:40:55Conspiracy's a nasty business.
00:40:56I hardly know where to begin.
00:40:58If I can be of any help, just let me know.
00:41:00You've done more than enough already.
00:41:01I'll take the ball from here.
00:41:03And I can't tell you how grateful I am.
00:41:04Oh, one more thing.
00:41:06When you find out anything, will you let me know right away?
00:41:08A boy's life is on the hook.
00:41:10In fact, other lives may be at stake.
00:41:12I have an important conference tonight at 6.30
00:41:14with the top people of this administration.
00:41:16This will be number one on the agenda.
00:41:18Thank you, sir.
00:41:22Well, hi, everyone.
00:41:23This is Jerry Doggett.
00:41:24And here we are back at beautiful Dodger Stadium for game one of our doubleheader.
00:41:31It'll be a short homestand for the Dodgers before going back on the road again.
00:41:38The last Dodger stand very successful.
00:41:40They won eight out of nine.
00:41:42And their last road trip was also very successful.
00:41:44They won eight out of 11.
00:41:48So, 16 and four is the Dodger record for the last 20 ballgames.
00:41:53The Dodgers have one more road trip back to San Francisco.
00:41:57And after they return from San Francisco, they'll come back for a nine-game homestand.
00:42:27Well, my appointment was canceled for the last minute, so I decided to go to the game.
00:42:31Oh, you a season ticket holder, sir?
00:42:33No.
00:42:33Why?
00:42:34This game has been a sellout for weeks.
00:42:36You know anything about sellouts, Mr. Collins?
00:42:39Look, Quincy, you're into something here that has to be handled very carefully.
00:42:43Well, not at all.
00:42:44It'll be handled.
00:42:46By who?
00:42:47You?
00:42:48I don't trust you.
00:42:50Now you're being abusive.
00:42:52Not very smart for a city employee.
00:42:54What are you going to do, Mr. Collins?
00:42:56Fire me?
00:42:58That would be overkill.
00:42:59And I don't personally get involved with the...
00:43:03peanuts.
00:43:10Conspiracy?
00:43:10That's right, conspiracy.
00:43:11Now, just a minute.
00:43:12Isn't this getting a little out of hand?
00:43:13I should say so.
00:43:14Three homicides, nobody's doing anything about it.
00:43:16Two homicides, one suicide.
00:43:17And a partridge in a pear tree.
00:43:20Quincy, you in on it, Aston?
00:43:23Quincy, I don't like your tone of voice.
00:43:26Oh, wait till you see it in print.
00:43:31Doctor?
00:43:33Oh, you still recognize the term?
00:43:34Oh, wow, that's really terrific, because that's what you are, doctor.
00:43:38You're not a detective, you're not a crime reporter,
00:43:41and you're not a one-man posse out to string up everybody in City Hall.
00:43:45Quincy, Marcus committed suicide.
00:43:47That boy robbed and murdered Diane Johnson.
00:43:50What happened in Mexico, it's out of our jurisdiction.
00:43:54It must be under somebody's jurisdiction.
00:44:09Peace?
00:44:14Hey, you looking better.
00:44:15Yeah.
00:44:16A couple more days, I'll be well enough for them to take me to jail.
00:44:20Well, keep eating the food, eh?
00:44:21They'll never let you out.
00:44:22How we doing?
00:44:23Oh, we're doing great.
00:44:24Great.
00:44:27The odds drop?
00:44:28What do you mean?
00:44:30We're off the same street, remember?
00:44:33Yeah, well, I wish we were back there.
00:44:35At least then we knew who we were fighting.
00:44:37What happened?
00:44:39I don't know.
00:44:41I can't hear the splash.
00:44:42It's a bottomless well.
00:44:44It's a secret, and I get the feeling everybody's in on it but me.
00:44:47And I'm still the fall guy?
00:44:49That's why I came to see you.
00:44:50I want you to know I'm still working on it.
00:44:53I don't like being pushed around.
00:44:55I don't like it.
00:44:56I don't like it either.
00:44:58I'll see you later.
00:44:59Okay.
00:45:09Where'd you get him?
00:45:11At a funeral?
00:45:12Listen, you know what's the matter with us?
00:45:14Yes, you.
00:45:15We should get away from everything.
00:45:18Go to a place where a phone call has to be a wrong number.
00:45:20Doctors do nothing but deliver babies.
00:45:23You know it's such a place.
00:45:25How's Mexico grab you?
00:45:28You come into an inheritance?
00:45:30Well, don't the airlines still get free tickets to employees?
00:45:33Oh, that's just for family.
00:45:35Oh.
00:45:36Yeah.
00:45:37Well, brothers and sisters under the skin.
00:45:43Crazy.
00:45:56This is the place I was looking for.
00:45:58It's one of Mexico's most exclusive honeymoon retreats.
00:46:01Honeymoon retreats.
00:46:03Oh, Quincy, it's beautiful.
00:46:04Oh, you're a doll.
00:46:06What are you doing?
00:46:07Heading for Arm Hotel.
00:46:08Oh, what's the matter with this one?
00:46:09It's beautiful.
00:46:10Well, it should be.
00:46:11It's for Mexican millionaires.
00:46:12But I'm taking you here for dinner.
00:46:14A few questions I want to ask the manager.
00:46:16Well, where are we going?
00:46:17To a place that has a little touch of heaven.
00:46:38Okay, honey, all set.
00:46:41Where's the key?
00:46:42You don't need any.
00:46:43There are no locks on the doors.
00:46:44Great atmosphere.
00:46:45I mean, this is the real Mexico.
00:46:46No turistas here.
00:46:48Honey, you're not going to believe this.
00:46:50Tips are included.
00:46:51In what?
00:46:59Honey, look, what I want you to do is go inside, relax, take a nap,
00:47:03and then when I come back, we'll go down the road for dinner, okay?
00:47:05Well, you're not going to leave me alone.
00:47:06Well, I have to make some inquiries.
00:47:08About another motel?
00:47:09About a lot of things.
00:47:11Honey, now look, I want you to go inside, relax, and enjoy yourself.
00:47:14I'm relaxed.
00:47:16Then you've got to let go.
00:47:17Oh.
00:47:18Oh.
00:47:30The people of the village would be offended, Tom.
00:47:33Tampering with the dead is out of the question.
00:47:35But there's a chance the girl was murdered.
00:47:38Murdered?
00:47:38Yes.
00:47:39But how?
00:47:40No, no, I was at the wreck.
00:47:41I checked her body myself.
00:47:42Her boyfriend, too?
00:47:43He was fortunate.
00:47:44I only found bruises.
00:47:46Doctor, was there anything suspicious about them?
00:47:50Why suspicious?
00:47:51Well, maybe something you didn't notice, something that seemed unimportant at the time.
00:47:57Doctor, if there was something wrong to notice, I would have noticed.
00:48:01For your information, I am fully trained.
00:48:03In the usual sense of the word, I'm sure you are, sir.
00:48:06But any doctor might miss the kinds of things I'm talking about.
00:48:09But not you, of course.
00:48:10Well, I am trained differently.
00:48:12It is my specialty, like a pediatrician or an obstetrician.
00:48:15Exactly what is your training?
00:48:18Paranoid training?
00:48:19Pathology?
00:48:20I was taught never to trust anything and to disbelieve everything else.
00:48:23I take it for granted there's something wrong in every autopsy.
00:48:26Why?
00:48:28I...
00:48:28Look, do you want the bottom line?
00:48:31Okay, bottom line?
00:48:32After you cut out all the bull.
00:48:34Go ahead.
00:48:35Okay.
00:48:37There's one thing about life I could never get used to.
00:48:40That's the mystery of it.
00:48:42Something goes still to me when I see life dead before it's time and I want to do something
00:48:45about it.
00:48:46I want to find out who made that terrible thing happen.
00:48:49And most often, the victim can point a finger in the right direction just as if it were still
00:48:54alive.
00:48:55But only if we know how to find it.
00:49:35Quincy!
00:49:37Lee, what are you doing here?
00:49:38Oh, I just happened to be in town on a holiday.
00:49:41Quincy, what are you doing in this cemetery?
00:49:44Doctor, go ahead.
00:49:46It's all yours.
00:49:48Yours?
00:49:49Yeah.
00:49:50Oh, I don't believe it.
00:49:52If you can't find a dead body handy, you dig one up.
00:49:57She's a great kidder.
00:50:00Don't do that.
00:50:03Let's get to us there.
00:50:15Hi, honey.
00:50:17You okay?
00:50:19You know what kind of a person I am, don't you?
00:50:22I can take anything.
00:50:23But I've got to hand it to you.
00:50:25You've broken me.
00:50:26I want to go home.
00:50:28Okay.
00:50:29I'm finished here anyway.
00:50:32What'd you find out?
00:50:33Just in general, no details.
00:50:35Well, she was dead before the accident.
00:50:37Well, then the accident was a cover-up for murder.
00:50:40Yep.
00:50:40By her boyfriend, whoever he is.
00:50:42What happened to him?
00:50:44Well, he reported the accident.
00:50:46Stayed around for the burial just to make sure.
00:50:47Then he left.
00:50:48The name and address he gave to the Mexican police was a phony.
00:50:51I just checked it out with L.A.
00:50:54Hey, G-Jack.
00:51:16Here's where it happened.
00:51:18It's a long drop.
00:51:20Are you sure it couldn't have happened during the accident?
00:51:23No question about it.
00:51:25Come on.
00:51:41Do you think it's the man who killed the girl on the beach?
00:51:44Most likely.
00:51:46Next, we're broken the same way.
00:51:49Does that take strength or is meanness enough?
00:51:51It takes strength and a lot of it.
00:51:54Get down!
00:51:57Jump!
00:51:59No!
00:52:03Jump!
00:52:15Ah!
00:52:16Ah!
00:52:16Ah!
00:52:16Ah!
00:52:18Ah!
00:52:19Ah!
00:52:20Ah!
00:52:20Ah!
00:52:20Ah!
00:52:21Ah!
00:52:50Lee!
00:52:50Lee!
00:52:51Lee!
00:52:53Quince, over here!
00:53:01Honey, are you all right?
00:53:02I think I'm hurt.
00:53:11How does it look?
00:53:13It's probably just a strained hip, but we'll know as soon as the x-ray is developed.
00:53:16Fair enough.
00:53:16Here we go.
00:53:18See?
00:53:20Please take some sporter to the room now.
00:53:21No, I can do it.
00:53:22No, no, no.
00:53:23It is your turn.
00:53:24It's my turn.
00:53:24Oh, I don't need an x-ray.
00:53:25I am the doctor here now.
00:53:26Yeah, but I would know if I had something broken.
00:53:28Bottom of the line, Dr. Quincey.
00:53:32Bottom of the line?
00:53:33I'll see you later.
00:53:34Okay.
00:53:34Bye.
00:53:35Pedro, por favor.
00:53:40Well?
00:53:42Off with your shirt.
00:53:43Oh.
00:53:48You were lucky today, doctor.
00:53:49Yeah, but the truck driver wasn't.
00:53:51This is stuff?
00:53:52All we could recover.
00:53:53Ten pesos, a sharp knife, and an address book.
00:53:56You see something?
00:53:58Yeah.
00:53:59The U.S. telephone number.
00:54:01Maybe it's a relative.
00:54:02No, I don't think so.
00:54:04How can you be so sure?
00:54:06Because it's my number.
00:54:08Your number?
00:54:09A lot of ours.
00:54:10City Hall.
00:54:12Well, any idea whose extension this is?
00:54:14Nope.
00:54:15I don't think I ought to try to find out from here, either.
00:54:19When are you going?
00:54:21Oh, wait.
00:54:22I mean, you're here.
00:54:23I...
00:54:24Hey, hey, hey.
00:54:25I don't believe it.
00:54:26What?
00:54:27Quincy on a guilt trip.
00:54:29Well, I mean, after all, I shouldn't have gotten you involved in the first place.
00:54:32Why shouldn't I feel a little kind of...
00:54:34Well, I wanted to come, remember?
00:54:36I'll tell you what I could do.
00:54:38Well, I mean, it's up to you.
00:54:40I could bring money and everything I've got, get back here as fast as I can.
00:54:45I'll be waiting.
00:54:47Of course.
00:54:50Quincy!
00:54:51What?
00:54:52Your plane ticket.
00:54:53What about it?
00:54:54It's in the drawer.
00:54:59You're terrific.
00:55:13Quincy, where have you been?
00:55:23You're just the man I've been looking for.
00:55:25Yeah, well, I'll do the talking, Quincy.
00:55:27You know what?
00:55:28It has taken this department years in developing organizational duties and routine.
00:55:32You are trying to destroy and demolish in a matter of days.
00:55:37Would this be a good time to discuss my out-of-pocket expenses in Mexico?
00:55:40Dr. Quincy, if you would condescend and notice the schedule.
00:55:45We see here six young police recruits waiting patiently since 9 o'clock for their indoctrination lecture in the medical
00:55:53aspects of homicide.
00:55:54You were scheduled to give it.
00:55:57You are scheduled to give it.
00:55:59And you will give it.
00:56:00And there will be no more discussion until this lecture is given and that is final.
00:56:05Yes, sir.
00:56:09And you will observe the lecture and report to me if he attempts to cut it short in order to
00:56:14duck out of here and play detective.
00:56:18Sir, have somebody bring the wagon out front in ten minutes.
00:56:22Ten?
00:56:22It usually takes an hour and a half.
00:56:23Sir, I am.
00:56:46Hundred and a half.
00:56:54Government.
00:56:58Gentlemen.
00:57:00You are about to enter the most important and fascinating sphere of police work.
00:57:05The world of forensic medicine.
00:57:07Where untold victims of many homicides will reach back from the grave and point their finger accusingly at their asses.
00:57:21You see, before you, a man was found floating off Point Loma.
00:57:26Unfortunately, he was in the water a few days before we found him.
00:57:35Now, to determine the exact cause of death,
00:57:37we must examine the vital organs.
00:57:41This is gonna be brutal. Quincy's in a hurry.
00:57:44Now, see, there are many types of incisions,
00:57:46but today I think I'll try the lazy yes.
00:57:54Ah! Leave him be.
00:57:56There'll be nobody to babysit with him out in the streets.
00:57:58You're policemen now. That's the way it is.
00:58:00This would be hard to take for a third-year medical student.
00:58:04Important.
00:58:06And now for the final phase.
00:58:16Sam, see that they're comfortable?
00:58:33And are you sure there's no record of the call?
00:58:36I'm sure.
00:58:37You see, Commissioner Bauer's extension number was in this man's address book.
00:58:41Oh, it's in the phone book, too.
00:58:43That doesn't mean everybody who's got one calls him.
00:58:46Mm-hmm.
00:58:46May I see that list, please?
00:58:48Yeah. Me and my guest?
00:58:49Thank you. That's very nice of you.
00:58:50You're welcome.
00:58:51Uh-oh. What have we?
00:58:53I bet it's something you don't do very often.
00:58:55What?
00:58:56Is that a mistake right there?
00:58:58Oh, I guess it is. I must have written the wrong name down.
00:59:00Well, the right one.
00:59:02Then why would I change it?
00:59:04Because Commissioner Bauer asked you to.
00:59:07Think of it this way, Doctor.
00:59:09If someone had asked me to change the name of this incoming call,
00:59:14why in the world would I want to tell you who it was?
00:59:17Oh, because you didn't want to go to jail.
00:59:20What?
00:59:21Where's Commissioner Bauer?
00:59:24He's on vacation. He won't be back until Monday.
00:59:26And is he reachable?
00:59:30Um...
00:59:32Uh...
00:59:52Hope I didn't keep you waiting.
00:59:54Such a nice day, I didn't hurry.
00:59:56It's all right. It's all right. I understand.
00:59:59You care for a little snort?
01:00:01Oh, no, thank you, Arnold. I never touch it.
01:00:07Any problems?
01:00:08Why? Should there be?
01:00:10It's easy for you to be so cool.
01:00:13Nobody knows who you are.
01:00:15Nobody knows there's any connection between you and the stolen checks.
01:00:19I'm on the firing line.
01:00:22If anything goes wrong, it's my head.
01:00:25What can go wrong?
01:00:27There are no leads to you.
01:00:30Maybe.
01:00:31Maybe not.
01:00:32My secretary just phoned.
01:00:34She said a Dr. Quincy from Pathology was in the office asking questions.
01:00:39So let him ask. There aren't any answers.
01:00:42Every lead to you and me is gone.
01:00:46When will the checks be cashed?
01:00:49I'll be in Switzerland tomorrow morning.
01:00:52Shouldn't be any problem about making the payments.
01:00:56The pattern has been set.
01:00:58But let's make sure it clears the Harvard Commission International Accounts
01:01:04while I'm still on vacation, huh?
01:01:06Consider it handled.
01:01:10Why did I get into this in the first place?
01:01:15Original sin.
01:01:18Women.
01:01:20If a man has to have a weakness, what's the best way to go?
01:01:24Not if they belong to you.
01:01:29Belonged.
01:01:31You know, Arnold...
01:01:34I was really beginning to like you.
01:01:37I really was.
01:01:40But like you said...
01:01:41Nobody else knows my connection to the money.
01:01:47But you...
01:01:49and me.
01:02:01Lieutenant Monaghan, is it true the police have been watching Commissioner Bauer?
01:02:04Watching him what for?
01:02:06Well, we've been hearing rumors in a scandal surrounding City Hall.
01:02:09Could this have anything to do with it?
01:02:10I was told it was a diving accident.
01:02:14Did you talk to the medical examiner before you came?
01:02:17What medical examiner?
01:02:19Dr. Quincy.
01:02:26All I can do for him here is all yours.
01:02:30But I'm gonna want him back later.
01:02:38Well, what does it look like?
01:02:40Wasn't an accident.
01:02:41I suspect it's one more in the City Hall chain.
01:02:44His neck wasn't broken.
01:02:45So, what other concrete proof have you got?
01:02:47I'll discuss the connection after I've done my lab work.
01:02:50All right, Quincy.
01:02:51Look, I'm warning you.
01:02:52Now, when you go over there with them reporters, you tell them nothing.
01:02:55You don't raise their suspicions.
01:02:56You don't let them in on any of your guesses or any other damn thing.
01:02:59You get me?
01:03:02I can give you something for that blood pressure.
01:03:05Quincy.
01:03:09There are things going on.
01:03:10I know. They keep winding up on my lap.
01:03:12We gotta keep the lid on this.
01:03:13I can't tell you why now. I'm under orders.
01:03:15Well, whoever's giving the order is an idiot.
01:03:17Or maybe even a murderer.
01:03:18Quincy, that kind of talk is very dangerous.
01:03:20Dangerous?
01:03:21What do you call mass murder, Lieutenant?
01:03:24Quincy.
01:03:24Bye.
01:03:29Quincy?
01:03:30Como se va?
01:03:32This is Mexico, not France.
01:03:34Then this must be Lee.
01:03:36How you feeling, honey?
01:03:38Dr. Rivera says I'll be fine in a few more days.
01:03:41Hey, I just read the paper.
01:03:43You must feel very important.
01:03:45You were right all along.
01:03:47What paper? What are you talking about, Lee?
01:03:49The 30 missing checks.
01:03:50You mean you don't know?
01:03:52The City Hall's been ripped off for $3 million.
01:03:57Are the deaths of the two City Hall women connected to the missing checks?
01:04:01Has murder definitely been ruled out on Commissioner Bauer?
01:04:04We're investigating any and all possibilities, boys.
01:04:06Now that's it. That's all.
01:04:07Oh, come on.
01:04:09That's it. That is it. Right?
01:04:21We blew it.
01:04:23Yes, you did.
01:04:25When did you know about the checks?
01:04:28We found out about it just after the controller did himself in.
01:04:31Oh, forgive me. Was murdered.
01:04:34Look, we started digging. You were right, of course.
01:04:37The lid was put on at a political level.
01:04:39That's probably what gave him enough time to blow us out of the water.
01:04:43When did he cash the checks?
01:04:44This morning, Swiss time.
01:04:46The guy had it figured down to a gnat's whisker.
01:04:50You know, he must have spent months sending that dish through secretary of school.
01:04:54Sending her in for a job when he knocked off the other girl.
01:04:56Swiss police gonna be any help?
01:04:58Well, the guy could be anywhere. We don't have a clue.
01:05:02Yes, we do.
01:05:03Hmm?
01:05:04He's big.
01:05:06Hmm.
01:05:09Yeah.
01:05:10Look, I'm going for a drink. You want to join me? I guess I owe you one.
01:05:14No, thanks. I got an obligation in Mexico.
01:05:16Hey, wait a minute. Are you holding out something?
01:05:18Yes, I am.
01:05:19But she's got nothing to do with getting you off the hook.
01:05:23I'll be seeing you.
01:05:24Yeah.
01:05:26Take your time.
01:05:34You ready to go, Lee?
01:05:36Yes.
01:05:37But I hate to leave exotic Mexico.
01:05:39Oh, it was much more than you promised.
01:05:42So romantic. Beyond a girl's wildest dreams.
01:05:45I'm sorry.
01:05:46Sorry? How could it have been better?
01:05:48We exhumed a body from the graveyard, had ourselves a real live autopsy,
01:05:52and then to top it all for the grand finale, got run over a cliff and nearly killed.
01:05:57Oh, come on, Quincy. How can that be topped?
01:06:00Now that you put it that way, you know you're right.
01:06:02Mm-hmm. And we have such beautiful pictures to commemorate it.
01:06:05What pictures?
01:06:06Of my ribs, my spine, my skull.
01:06:07That's right. Now that's enough.
01:06:10That's enough what?
01:06:21I figured if you were insistent about taking his x-rays, you were about taking mine.
01:06:24But I had to for precaution's sake.
01:06:26Oh, I'm not fooling you, Doctor. I'm thanking you.
01:06:28This is exactly the hard evidence I need.
01:06:30An x-ray?
01:06:31Oh, yeah, huh?
01:06:32You see, you can change the color of your hair.
01:06:34You can fix your nose. You can older your face.
01:06:36But not this. What you see is what you get.
01:06:38You can't fake it, you can't change it. Thank you, Doctor. Very good luck.
01:06:43Quincy?
01:06:43Yeah?
01:06:45Oh, I'm sorry, honey.
01:06:52It seems to me that this man, this killer, he's been so clever, covered his tracks so carefully.
01:07:01Why would he be so careless as to leave an x-ray behind?
01:07:05Well, to steal the x-rays would have called more attention to the girl's death than he wanted.
01:07:09He gambled that nobody would want to investigate the accidental death of some obscure girl.
01:07:14It was a reasonable bet.
01:07:15Yeah, but he knew you came back here to check out the girl's death.
01:07:19Why didn't he come back for the x-ray?
01:07:21The timing got in his way. He had priorities.
01:07:24Before getting back to the x-ray, he had to kill Commissioner Bauer.
01:07:27Then they had to go overseas and cash the checks before anybody knew they were stolen.
01:07:31Then come back here.
01:07:34Then get the x-ray.
01:07:43What is it?
01:07:44I don't know.
01:07:47Yes, you do.
01:07:48See how your nerves are all on edge?
01:07:50Well, how many times does a girl have to go off a cliff before she learns her lesson?
01:08:05Smith?
01:08:20Honey?
01:08:21Yeah?
01:08:22You'll see it was worth the wait.
01:08:24Oh, I'm sure of it.
01:08:26What are you doing in there?
01:08:28Now, didn't you once say that getting there was half the fun?
01:08:32You know what your problem is?
01:08:34Does it show all the way in there?
01:08:39Where's the girl?
01:08:40What happened?
01:08:41What happened?
01:08:47Call the cops!
01:09:10Help!
01:09:11Help! Help me!
01:09:14Help! Help! Help!
01:09:16My friend had a little too much to drink.
01:09:24I'm gonna snap your neck, like a breadstick.
01:09:34Help!
01:09:35Help!
01:09:36Help!
01:09:39Help!
01:09:40Help!
01:09:52Help!
01:09:52Queenie!
01:09:52Queenie!
01:10:01Oh, my head.
01:10:08You'll live.
01:10:16Watch my head.
01:10:18Every cent has been recovered.
01:10:20The city hasn't lost a thing, not one penny.
01:10:22The raw five citizens are kind of dead.
01:10:25Chase was, well, a sphingale.
01:10:28Women found him irresistible.
01:10:30He placed them in key positions.
01:10:31They became intimate with certain officials.
01:10:35Then Chase blackmailed normally decent men
01:10:38into going along with his plan.
01:10:40I always thought it was kind of hard to blackmail decent people.
01:10:44Right, honey?
01:10:45The checks came from the assistant controller, Mr. Marcus.
01:10:48They were deposited through our late commissioner's
01:10:50various city port accounts.
01:10:52And finally, the money was transferred to an account in Switzerland.
01:10:56That's it.
01:10:57I hope they don't ask him who co-signed the checks.
01:10:59And who signed the checks?
01:11:01I'm glad you asked.
01:11:03I, of course, co-signed the checks.
01:11:07But that's always been a routine, almost ceremonial procedure.
01:11:17Anyone ever get around to thanking you?
01:11:20No, not in so many words.
01:11:22But I did sense a kind of gratitude.
01:11:24How?
01:11:26I wasn't fired.
01:11:28Oh, why do you do it?
01:11:31I don't know.
01:11:32Why do salmon swim upstream?
01:11:34To lay eggs.
01:11:36It's not bad.
01:11:39Well, where should we go tonight?
01:11:42Oh.
01:11:44Oh, how about Singapore?
01:11:46Oh, that's good, yeah.
01:11:50Cast off, matey.
01:11:52Cast off.
01:11:54No.
01:11:54No.
01:12:23No.
01:12:23No.
