you're the best there is.Copy !req
93. You're the very best.Copy !req
94. But you don't make decisions.Copy !req

120. A 450SL.Copy !req
121. The silver one.Copy !req
122. It's the one you always wanted.Copy !req
123. It's still at the dealer showroom.
But it's registered in your name.Copy !req
124. You can drive it home.Copy !req
125. The license plate says,
"Kay #1."Copy !req
126. Well, that's a comment
from the management.Copy !req
127. Goodbye, Kay?Copy !req
128. Sit up, Lieutenant.Copy !req
129. I want you to relax.Copy !req
130. Tilt your head back.Copy !req
131. What... What are you gonna do?Copy !req
132. Just give your neck
a little adjustment.Copy !req
133. What do you mean by adjustment?Copy !req
134. Don't worry, Lieutenant,
it won't hurt at all.Copy !req
135. I'll tell you, Sam, I don't
think it hurts anymore.Copy !req
136. It won't hurt at all.Copy !req
137. Sam, it already
doesn't hurt at all.Copy !req
138. Relax. Relax.Copy !req
139. You have one minute and 20 seconds.Copy !req
140. You have one minute and 10 seconds.Copy !req

143. You have 40 seconds.Copy !req
144. You have 30 seconds to go.Copy !req
145. You have 20 seconds.Copy !req
146. You have 10 seconds left.Copy !req
147. Nine seconds. Eight.Copy !req
148. Seven. Six.Copy !req
149. Five. Four. Three. Two.Copy !req
150. One. Out.Copy !req
151. Oh, hello, Kay.Copy !req
152. Sorry, Jonathan.Copy !req
153. I'm going to need all those
Clay Gardner demographs...Copy !req
154. first thing in the morning.Copy !req
155. Kay, that's gonna take all night.Copy !req
156. Well, unless you'd like to explain
your troubles to Mr. Flanagan,Copy !req
157. you'd better plan
on spending the night.Copy !req
158. Condolences, Junior.
Comes with the territory.Copy !req
159. Well, who says Clay Gardner's
ready to do TV?Copy !req
160. Just once I'd like
to sit down to a hot meal.Copy !req
161. At $7 million a season,Copy !req
162. let's just say
he might be tempted.Copy !req
163. His agent take the hook yet?Copy !req
164. - No, I'm still setting it.
- Planes don't count.Copy !req
165. - That's toy food.
- It's really up to Frank.Copy !req
166. What do you think, Pete?Copy !req
167. - Before, I got to be a VP...
- Now I put it between bread.Copy !req
168. We'll still come out of it.Copy !req
169. Do you really want to lay out
that kind of cash, Frank?Copy !req
170. If we start paying $7 million,Copy !req
171. every actor we have
will wanna renegotiate.Copy !req
172. Clay Gardner isn't every actor.Copy !req
173. Thank God.Copy !req
174. Mr. Flanagan, gentlemen.Copy !req
175. - Kay.
- Hi, Kay.Copy !req
176. Soon as you've had
your ice cream and cookies,Copy !req
177. we'll go to the movies.Copy !req
178. - All right, guys, let's go.
- This way, gentlemen.Copy !req
179. - That's right.
- What have you got?Copy !req
180. I hope I'm gonna see you guys
in my office later.Copy !req
181. We'll see you later.Copy !req
182. Mark.Copy !req
183. Let's roll the dice on Clay Gardner
before I change my mind.Copy !req
184. You got it.Copy !req
185. Pete, listen,
we're gonna go with Gardner.Copy !req
186. So, first thing tomorrow
set up a negotiating session.Copy !req
187. I'll call Herbie Stone.Copy !req
188. - You all right?
- I'm fine.Copy !req
189. No, I mean really.Copy !req
190. I mean, I'm really fine, Mark.Copy !req
191. Good.Copy !req
192. He can handle it.Copy !req
193. Well, this picture is very much a
Kay Freestone effort, I understand.Copy !req
194. Oh, yes. You'll find
little flecks of my blood...Copy !req
195. on each and every frame.Copy !req
196. Gentlemen, I'll be in the booth.
Enjoy yourselves.Copy !req
197. Thank you.Copy !req
198. Frank, do you really think that William
Morris will cave-in that much on the price?Copy !req
199. A million at least.Copy !req
200. You got to be kidding it's seven.
Nobody believes seven.Copy !req
201. Evening, Walter.Copy !req
202. Hi, Kay. VIP time, huh?Copy !req
203. Oh, it's murder.
You got all nine reels here?Copy !req
204. Ninety minutes, nine reels.Copy !req
205. Okay.Copy !req
206. You watching
back here again, huh?Copy !req
207. Walter,Copy !req
208. I wrestled this bloody film through
that nutty studio for six months.Copy !req
209. If you so much as make
one mistake in a changeover,Copy !req
210. I'll kill you.Copy !req
211. Yowsah, Miss Freestone.Copy !req
212. Your film is gonna go
through this gate...Copy !req
213. at the incredible rate
of 90 feet per minute.Copy !req
214. You just watch
this little old counter here.Copy !req
215. And no sooner will this first
reel finish up when I will see...Copy !req
216. two little flashes of light
out there...Copy !req
217. in the upper right hand corner
of your lovely picture.Copy !req
218. And then I will,
with lightning speed,Copy !req
219. switch over to this
projector right here.Copy !req
220. And not only will your
big-shots not know...Copy !req
221. that I have switched a reel,Copy !req
222. they'll not suspect
one little old thing.Copy !req
223. Bravo.Copy !req
224. Kay, roll when you're ready.Copy !req
225. All right. Okay.Copy !req
226. What's this called?Copy !req
227. - The Professional.
- Mmm.Copy !req
228. Good luck.Copy !req
229. Thanks, I'll need it.Copy !req
230. Frank, has Standards and Practices
seen this yet?Copy !req
231. Changeover.Copy !req
232. Flash.Copy !req
233. Go.Copy !req
234. Couldn't have done it
better myself.Copy !req
235. Marius?Copy !req
236. Not exactly the family hour,
is it?Copy !req
237. Walter, where are
those other reels?Copy !req
238. What other reels?Copy !req
239. Screen tests that I ordered
for Broad Land.Copy !req
240. Flanagan might want to see them.Copy !req
241. Oh, somebody goofed. They must
still be down in Shipping.Copy !req
242. Well, you better go get them.
Four reels.Copy !req
243. Well, there's a changeover
coming in about two minutes.Copy !req
244. I'll take care of the changeover.
You just get those reels for me, please.Copy !req
245. You have four minutes.Copy !req
246. You have three minutes and 50 seconds.Copy !req
247. You have three minutes and 40 seconds.Copy !req
248. You have three minutes and 30 seconds.Copy !req
249. You have three minutes and 20 seconds.Copy !req
250. You have three minutes and 10 seconds.Copy !req
251. You have three minutes.Copy !req
252. You have two minutes and 50 seconds.Copy !req
253. Finished already?Copy !req
254. Yes.Copy !req
255. Finished.Copy !req
256. Honey, wait a minute, wait a...Copy !req
257. You have two minutes and 10 seconds.Copy !req
258. Mark?Copy !req
259. You have two minutes.Copy !req
260. You have one minute and 30 seconds.Copy !req
261. You have one minute and 20 seconds.Copy !req
262. You have one minute and 10 seconds.Copy !req
263. You have one minute.Copy !req
264. You have 50 seconds.Copy !req
265. You have 40 seconds.Copy !req
266. You have 30 seconds.Copy !req
267. You have 25 seconds.Copy !req
268. You have 20 seconds.Copy !req
269. You have 15 seconds.Copy !req
270. You have 10 seconds.Copy !req
271. Nine.Copy !req
272. Six.Copy !req
273. Five. Four.Copy !req
274. Three. Two. One.Copy !req
275. Make the changeover okay?Copy !req
276. Like a champ.Copy !req
277. All right.Copy !req
278. Well, how's it going?Copy !req
279. Well, no one's left yet.Copy !req
280. How long are they gonna keep
putting that stuff on television?Copy !req
281. Kay, would you come
in here a minute?Copy !req
282. What?Copy !req
283. I'll be right in.Copy !req
284. Walter, no more picture tonight.Copy !req
285. Kay, I'm so terribly shocked.
I'm so sorry.Copy !req
286. Yeah, we're all very sorry.Copy !req
287. I'm sure he'd be
the first one to say...Copy !req
288. there's no disrespect
in our just doing our jobs.Copy !req
289. What is there for today?Copy !req
290. They asked for you
in Mark's office.Copy !req
291. Soon as you came in.Copy !req
292. Kay.Copy !req
293. Steady, love.Copy !req
294. Good morning, ma'am.Copy !req
295. Lieutenant Columbo, Homicide.Copy !req
296. And you're Miss Freestone?Copy !req
297. Yes, Lieutenant.Copy !req
298. No disrespect intended, ma'am,Copy !req
299. but that's where
Mr. McAndrews was lying,Copy !req
300. just like that.Copy !req
301. When he was shot, that is.Copy !req
302. Is there any way
I can be of help, Lieutenant?Copy !req
303. I don't believe so, ma'am.
Nice of you to offer.Copy !req
304. We think it's a whiplash.
The doctors are making tests.Copy !req
305. I'm so sorry.Copy !req
306. No, I... I meant, is there
any way I can help you...Copy !req
307. with your investigation?Copy !req
308. Oh, the investigation.
Yes, ma'am, I think there is.Copy !req
309. Now, I understand that...Copy !req
310. you worked very closely
with the victim.Copy !req
311. Yes, I was his executive assistant.Copy !req
312. Yes, ma'am.Copy !req
313. And would you agree
that these were his glasses?Copy !req
314. They look like them, yes.Copy !req
315. Then would you mind coming
through that door, ma'am?Copy !req
316. Excuse me?Copy !req
317. If you would just go out and
come through that door, please.Copy !req
318. Come on in, ma'am.Copy !req
319. Come on in.Copy !req
320. Stop right there, ma'am.Copy !req
321. Now, if you'll just hold out
your arm.Copy !req
322. Where?Copy !req
323. Just point it at me, ma'am.Copy !req
324. Like you were holding a pistol.Copy !req
325. Thank you very much, ma'am.Copy !req
326. My father wore glasses just like these.Copy !req
327. And when I was a youngster,
I used to like to put them on.Copy !req
328. Made me feel like a grown-up.Copy !req
329. There's something I wanted to ask
you about Mr. McAndrews, ma'am.Copy !req
330. An item that I found here on
his desk a little piece of paper.Copy !req
331. Well, it will turn up.Copy !req
332. My mother used to grab the glasses off me.Copy !req
333. "They're bad for your eyes,"
she used to say.Copy !req
334. You know, in those days,
everything was bad for your eyes.Copy !req
335. Not wearing mittens was
bad for your eyes.Copy !req
336. Wearing rubbers in the house,
that'd strike you blind on the spot.Copy !req
337. I don't know what I did
with that damn paper.Copy !req
338. Well, it will turn up.Copy !req
339. That must be very uncomfortable.Copy !req
340. Ma'am?Copy !req
341. Oh, this? Well, it's better
than a gallstone.Copy !req
342. Did you ever have
a gallstone, ma'am?Copy !req
343. Whew!Copy !req
344. No, I don't think so.Copy !req
345. If there's nothing else,
Lieutenant...Copy !req
346. I've got 12 men searching,
Lieutenant. Is that enough?Copy !req
347. As many as you can get, Sergeant.Copy !req
348. We haven't found the weapon, ma'am.Copy !req
349. We think it still might be
on the premises.Copy !req
350. I know there was a paper
on this desk.Copy !req
351. Oh, Sergeant Burke,
this is Miss Freestone.Copy !req
352. She was Mr. McAndrews'
executive assistant.Copy !req
353. Found you.Copy !req
354. I think you're wanted in your office.Copy !req
355. Something about Mr. Flanagan.Copy !req
356. Oh, thank you.Copy !req
357. Lieutenant, I think there's
something you should see.Copy !req
358. Would you mind coming with me?Copy !req
359. Certainly, ma'am.Copy !req
360. Keep searching, Sergeant.Copy !req
361. Yes, sir.Copy !req
362. We lost a hell of a lot more
than manpower.Copy !req
363. No, they don't know anything yet.Copy !req
364. Yes, I'll be staying around until
we can get the pieces back together.Copy !req
365. Kay, I hope I didn't take you away.
You all right?Copy !req
366. Your men have everything
they need, Lieutenant?Copy !req
367. Well, it's very confusing, sir.Copy !req
368. I mean, there were only so many
people in the building last night.Copy !req
369. You and your people, Miss Freestone
and the projectionist...Copy !req
370. and the young man working next door.
Every single one of them is accounted for.Copy !req
371. With your terrific security and all,Copy !req
372. no one else could get in
or out of the building.Copy !req
373. So the question is,Copy !req
374. who killed Mr. McAndrews?Copy !req
375. That's why I want you to look
at these, Lieutenant.Copy !req
376. You personally won
this award yourself, ma'am?Copy !req
377. Indeed she did, Lieutenant.Copy !req
378. "For Best Documentary Production."Copy !req
379. Well, you certainly are
a very clever woman, ma'am.Copy !req
380. That's why she's with us.Copy !req
381. Very clever indeed.Copy !req
382. Let's just say I work like an ox.Copy !req
383. Please sit right here, Lieutenant.Copy !req
384. Thank you, ma'am.Copy !req
385. Kay.Copy !req
386. Under the circumstances,
I'm gonna ask something of you.Copy !req
387. We'd like you to help us by
taking over all of Mark's duties,Copy !req
388. at least for the time being.Copy !req
389. Of course. Anything I can
do to help, Mr. Flanagan.Copy !req
390. Good. I knew I could count on you.Copy !req
391. You can start by locking up
Clay Gardner in The Broad Land.Copy !req
392. Oh, Mr. Flanagan,
I wanted to talk to you...Copy !req
393. about The Professional,
the film last night?Copy !req
394. I think we should talk
about that some other time.Copy !req
395. Good luck, Lieutenant.Copy !req
396. Oh, thank you, sir. I'm sure
it'll be off in a few days.Copy !req
397. I call it weird, ma'am.Copy !req
398. All these crazy crank letters.Copy !req
399. Have you ever told the police
about these threats?Copy !req
400. Yes, I certainly have.Copy !req
401. You'll notice
that the network gets blamed...Copy !req
402. for everything that's going,Copy !req
403. be it communism, fascism, atheism,Copy !req
404. abortion, sex, violence.
You name it.Copy !req
405. Up, down or in the middle.
It's all the same thing.Copy !req
406. "Support decency or we'll kill you."
Signed in blood.Copy !req
407. So, naturally, when this happened,Copy !req
408. it occurred to me...Copy !req
409. That one of these nuts slipped
in here and killed Mr. McAndrews?Copy !req
410. Well, other attempts have been made,
twice on Mr. Flanagan.Copy !req
411. I don't think so, ma'am.Copy !req
412. Not in this case.Copy !req
413. Granted, there's a lot of nuts
running around, some of them dangerous.Copy !req
414. Not in this case.Copy !req
415. You seem very sure, Lieutenant.Copy !req
416. That's because Mr. McAndrews
recognized his murderer.Copy !req
417. He knew the person who shot him.Copy !req
418. I find that very hard to believe.Copy !req
419. I don't wanna distress you, ma'am,
but there's no doubt about it.Copy !req
420. I know I had that paper somewhere.Copy !req
421. Why is there no doubt about it?Copy !req
422. We know the angle
of the bullet, ma'am.Copy !req
423. We know that the murderer
didn't shoot from the door.Copy !req
424. He entered the office.Copy !req
425. I'd say he was 18 feet in
by the time he pulled the trigger.Copy !req
426. Well, why couldn't a stranger
be 18 feet into a room?Copy !req
427. Well, let me put it to you
this way, ma'am.Copy !req
428. If you were alone in a room
at night, lying on a couch,Copy !req
429. and a stranger entered,Copy !req
430. wouldn't you take
a good look at him?Copy !req
431. Wouldn't you wanna see
what he looked like?Copy !req
432. Yes.Copy !req
433. That's the point, ma'am.Copy !req
434. Mr. McAndrews didn't bother
to take a really good look.Copy !req
435. It's these glasses, ma'am.Copy !req
436. He had them up here
on his forehead when he was shot.Copy !req
437. When the murderer came into the room.Copy !req
438. So Mr. McAndrews must've known
exactly who that person was,Copy !req
439. or he would've pushed them down,
like this.Copy !req
440. Because with these type corrections,
ma'am, these bifocals,Copy !req
441. this is the only way that
Mr. McAndrews could see his killer.Copy !req
442. If the killer was a stranger, that is.
Which he couldn't have been.Copy !req
443. But I'll keep your theory in mind.Copy !req
444. Interesting, isn't it,Copy !req
445. how you can work
these small things out...Copy !req
446. if you just think about it?Copy !req
447. Like you got a tiny voice
whispering right in your ear,Copy !req
448. trying to tell you who did it.Copy !req
449. You're a very attentive
listener, Lieutenant.Copy !req
450. Oh, yes, ma'am. Why that's all
we got to go on.Copy !req
451. Listen and look, look and listen.Copy !req
452. You see, you watch
your counter for the blip...Copy !req
453. and then you stand by for the blip.Copy !req
454. You mean to tell me
that all these years,Copy !req
455. every time I took Mrs. Columbo to the theater,
those flashes were on the screen?Copy !req
456. They have been on the screen
even before Mrs. Columbo, Lieutenant.Copy !req
457. The upper right hand corner.Copy !req
458. - In a regular theater?
- A regular theater.Copy !req
459. If I go to the movies tonight,Copy !req
460. 8:30, down the block,
a dollar and a half,Copy !req
461. and I walk in and sit down
and watch the movie,Copy !req
462. you mean to tell me...Copy !req
463. that I will see those flashes
on the screen?Copy !req
464. Right.Copy !req
465. That goes to show you,
you learn something new every day.Copy !req
466. Now, the flashes tell
the projectionist...Copy !req
467. when he's supposed
to change his reel.Copy !req
468. All right, all right, watch.Copy !req
469. Flash.Copy !req
470. Now, you tell me when you see
the second one.Copy !req
471. Flash.Copy !req
472. Mr. Mearhead,Copy !req
473. I would say you did that
like an artist.Copy !req
474. Listen, you wanna
see art, Lieutenant?Copy !req
475. Lieutenant,Copy !req
476. this is art.Copy !req
477. Isn't that remarkable?Copy !req
478. You did that yourself?Copy !req
479. That I did, sir.Copy !req
480. When I was a kid,
I used to build model airplanes.Copy !req
481. I'd start them but I could never
finish them.Copy !req
482. I'd always wreck them.Copy !req
483. Miss Freestone,Copy !req
484. she made the changeover
last night...Copy !req
485. when you went out for
The Broad Land screen tests?Copy !req
486. Yeah, about two minutes after I left.
I checked that counter.Copy !req
487. You checked the counter,Copy !req
488. Miss Freestone,
she changed the projector.Copy !req
489. Did Miss Freestone make
the splice, too?Copy !req
490. What splice?Copy !req
491. You mean the film didn't break?Copy !req
492. Isn't this one of
those editor's gloves?Copy !req
493. Right. I mean, she could've
fixed the film...Copy !req
494. if anything happened,
but nothing happened to the film.Copy !req
495. You see,Copy !req
496. I use these gloves
because of the glue.Copy !req
497. Well, thank you very much, sir.Copy !req
498. Do you think it would be
asking too much...Copy !req
499. if I took one of these things
for my nephew?Copy !req
500. Sure, help yourself.Copy !req
501. The kid's 15-years-old and...Copy !req
502. he sold all his stereo stuff
to make eight-millimeter movies.Copy !req
503. When I was a kid in my
neighborhood, we had heroes.Copy !req
504. DiMaggio, Rizzuto...Copy !req
505. You know who he's got on the wall?Copy !req
506. Francis Ford Coppola.Copy !req
507. - Sorry, ma'am.
- Excuse me, Lieutenant.Copy !req
508. Oh, Walter, you can send those
test reels back to Shipping anytime.Copy !req
509. Oh, those tests, ma'am,Copy !req
510. the tests, they've already
gone back to Shipping.Copy !req
511. I spoke to the gentleman in charge.Copy !req
512. Oh.Copy !req
513. Fine, then.Copy !req
514. Ma'am. Ma'am.Copy !req
515. About those tests that
you sent out for last night.Copy !req
516. Those were tests for a new series
called The Broad Land?Copy !req
517. Yes, Lieutenant,
they were talent tests.Copy !req
518. Yes, well there's something
that I don't understand, ma'am,Copy !req
519. and maybe I should...
I probably should...Copy !req
520. Lord knows I'm not the
brightest guy on the force.Copy !req
521. Another detective, he could
cut right through all this.Copy !req
522. I understand, Lieutenant.
Just ask your questions.Copy !req
523. That's the problem, ma'am.Copy !req
524. When I ask the questions, I know
I'm putting you on the spot.Copy !req
525. It's perfectly all right, Lieutenant.
It's your job. I appreciate that.Copy !req
526. Thank you very much, ma'am.
If only more people felt that way.Copy !req
527. The question is...Copy !req
528. Mr. Flanagan says that he...Copy !req
529. already approved Clay Gardner
to star in that new series.Copy !req
530. So I had to ask myself,
if he already approved him,Copy !req
531. why would you wanna
show him more tests?Copy !req
532. You see my problem, ma'am?Copy !req
533. Yes, I do, and I wondered
exactly the same thing myself.Copy !req
534. - Did you?
- Mmm-hmm.Copy !req
535. This time I think you're listening to the
wrong little voice in your ear, Lieutenant.Copy !req
536. I was just following instructions.Copy !req
537. Mr. Flanagan's instructions?Copy !req
538. Mr. McAndrews' instructions.Copy !req
539. Written instructions, ma'am?Copy !req
540. Verbal instructions, Lieutenant.Copy !req
541. I see.Copy !req
542. Well, we certainly can't ask
Mr. McAndrews, can we?Copy !req
543. I'm afraid I do have to go, Lieutenant.Copy !req
544. Oh, ma'am.Copy !req
545. Excuse me, ma'am.Copy !req
546. I know you're pressed.Copy !req
547. I don't wanna hold you up.Copy !req
548. Can we walk and talk?Copy !req
549. Let's.Copy !req
550. I know that Mr. McAndrews
was an important executive,Copy !req
551. and I know that CNC is
a big television network.Copy !req
552. But I have no idea
what he did all day...Copy !req
553. and night, from what
I can see around here.Copy !req
554. Well, I can hardly speak
for his nights, Lieutenant.Copy !req
555. I didn't mean to imply, ma'am.Copy !req
556. His days were mostly like mine.Copy !req
557. We run a fire department
around here.Copy !req
558. Do you want to look
at some of the flames?Copy !req
559. Flames, ma'am?Copy !req
560. Yes, mostly we put out fires.Copy !req
561. Nancy, monitor two.Copy !req
562. One, please.Copy !req
563. Thank you, sweetheart.Copy !req
564. Yeah, now, that's the angle
I want for the third position.Copy !req
565. Looking nice kids.
Looking very good.Copy !req
566. Start from the top
and I'll watch it up here.Copy !req
567. Oh, Kay, we've
already lost two hours.Copy !req
568. Where is she?Copy !req
569. Luther will tell you.Copy !req
570. Oh, Lieutenant, I'll be busy for a minute.
Just help yourself.Copy !req
571. Don't worry about me, ma'am.Copy !req
572. Luther?Copy !req
573. Coming down.Copy !req
574. You can take a break now,
Nancy. Thanks.Copy !req
575. All right, everybody,
five minutes, please.Copy !req
576. Where are we?Copy !req
577. Replace her, Kay.Copy !req
578. Valerie?Copy !req
579. She's never gonna make it.
Not a live show.Copy !req
580. Not in this world.Copy !req
581. Oh, come on, we're on tomorrow night.Copy !req
582. She's terrified, she's hysterical.Copy !req
583. She's losing her mind. I mean,
she doesn't even understand...Copy !req
584. that this is not an
MGM sound stage 20 years ago.Copy !req
585. She hates the blocking,
she hates the camera, she hates me.Copy !req
586. You, I don't know about.Copy !req
587. Look, a few times a day
she'll have a nice rush of...Copy !req
588. confidence for 10 minutes and then
she'll remember it's a live show,Copy !req
589. bite one of the dancers on the leg
and run to her dressing room and hide.Copy !req
590. Aside from all that, her work is lousy.Copy !req
591. Where is she?Copy !req
592. Dressing room.Copy !req
593. Luther, is she on anything?Copy !req
594. Oh, please.Copy !req
595. You mean it's gonna be live TV,
just the way it used to be?Copy !req
596. A little bit better,
Lieutenant, we hope.Copy !req
597. This is where the director
will sit. Here, sit down.Copy !req
598. This is a technical director's console.Copy !req
599. Does that bother you?Copy !req
600. That's just whiplash.
I mean, I think it's a whiplash.Copy !req
601. My doctor thinks it's a whiplash.Copy !req
602. The chiropractor, he thinks
I just got a bad massage.Copy !req
603. And my wife's osteopath,
he thinks it might be a back problem.Copy !req
604. It doesn't look like a back problem.Copy !req
605. That's what the orthopedic man said.Copy !req
606. Listen, all these screens
for just one show?Copy !req
607. That's a line monitor.
That's what's going on the air.Copy !req
608. Preview monitor is what
the director wants up next...Copy !req
609. and those are what
the four cameras see.Copy !req
610. I do the switching.Copy !req
611. Hey, all these beautiful
machines in here,Copy !req
612. all these buttons to push.Copy !req
613. I know it costs millions
and I know that everybody works very hard.Copy !req
614. But I gotta tell you the truth.
To me, it looks like fun.Copy !req
615. It is, but I wouldn't
swear to it in court.Copy !req
616. And Miss Freestone,Copy !req
617. she understands all about this, too?Copy !req
618. I'll tell you about that.
If there's one thing worse...Copy !req
619. than a television lady who
thinks she knows everything,Copy !req
620. it's a television lady
who knows everything.Copy !req
621. I'll see you later, Lieutenant.Copy !req
622. Valerie.Copy !req
623. Val, it's Kay.Copy !req
624. Whose side are you on?Copy !req
625. Whose do you think?Copy !req
626. Prove it.Copy !req
627. You can keep
the key to my apartment.Copy !req
628. Oh, Kay. Give me a hug.Copy !req
629. Oh, I thought you'd
never get here.Copy !req
630. Did Luther get over his snit yet?Copy !req
631. How about yours?Copy !req
632. Big deal.
I tried to tell that genius...Copy !req
633. where to put my key light
and the roof fell in.Copy !req
634. Big man from New York.Copy !req
635. Luther's very good. He's the best
in the business for live shows.Copy !req
636. He'll make you look like a million.Copy !req
637. A million years old.Copy !req
638. Is that how you feel?Copy !req
639. Want your key back?Copy !req
640. Val,Copy !req
641. are you clean?Copy !req
642. Oh, my God.Copy !req
643. I look like a junky, huh?Copy !req
644. I've had no booze, no pills,Copy !req
645. no sniff and no smoke.Copy !req
646. Except these damn things,
that's all.Copy !req
647. Can you look at me, babe?Copy !req
648. How scared are you?Copy !req
649. I'm terrified.Copy !req
650. I can't do it, Kay.Copy !req
651. I just don't know
how to do it anymore.Copy !req
652. I don't know what you have to do.Copy !req
653. Sing, dance, be funny
in front of 40 million people.Copy !req
654. I'd do it myself if I had the time.Copy !req
655. Come on.Copy !req
656. And then we'll go
to four after the crane shot.Copy !req
657. - Luther.
- Mmm?Copy !req
658. Take a look at this.Copy !req
659. What's that?Copy !req
660. Oh, boy.Copy !req
661. Eddie, give me a tight two-shot
on Kay and Valerie, would you?Copy !req
662. Valerie Kirk.Copy !req
663. Valerie Kirk?
Wait till I tell my wife.Copy !req
664. Hey, boss, you
want a willing worker?Copy !req
665. Well, what are we waiting for?Copy !req
666. And the lighting is terrific.Copy !req
667. I don't believe it.Copy !req
668. What are you waiting for?
Let's go to work.Copy !req
669. Anything else, maestro?Copy !req
670. Yeah. How about walking on water?Copy !req
671. Oh, yeah.Copy !req
672. Valerie, I'm coming
right down. Wait for me.Copy !req
673. Ma'am?Copy !req
674. Lieutenant, you frightened me.Copy !req
675. Oh, I'm sorry, ma'am.
Your secretary said you were coming here.Copy !req
676. I'll just take that.Copy !req
677. Are you supposed to take that off?Copy !req
678. Well, I thought
I'd cheat for a while.Copy !req
679. An hour won't hurt.
What do you think?Copy !req
680. I think you're
very attractive without it,Copy !req
681. but that's not a medical opinion.Copy !req
682. Well, I'll tell you, ma'am,
it's the nicest opinion I've heard yet.Copy !req
683. She said, your secretary,Copy !req
684. that you used to live here.Copy !req
685. Yes.Copy !req
686. My mother raised three of us
in this place.Copy !req
687. I guess nothing sends you
scurrying back to your roots...Copy !req
688. like somebody else's death, does it?Copy !req
689. Oh, I thought, ma'am, now that
you have this new, important job...Copy !req
690. you might have paid a visit
just to see how far you've come.Copy !req
691. Excuse me. I'll just get another chair.Copy !req
692. May I, ma'am?Copy !req
693. Let's dine by candlelight,
Lieutenant.Copy !req
694. That'd be very nice, ma'am.Copy !req
695. You know, I always knew
this place was small...Copy !req
696. but I never realized
it was quite this tiny.Copy !req
697. Four of us cramped in here.
Never a chance to be alone.Copy !req
698. I took a trip a few years ago.Copy !req
699. Took Mrs. Columbo back
to the house where I grew up.Copy !req
700. It looked all shrunken.Copy !req
701. I had five brothers
and one sister, Miss Freestone,Copy !req
702. and that was really terrific.Copy !req
703. There was always someone around for company.Copy !req
704. We were never lonely.Copy !req
705. You're a very special man,
Lieutenant.Copy !req
706. You accept things as they are.Copy !req
707. I try to change them.Copy !req
708. That's to your credit, ma'am.
Your success and ambition and all.Copy !req
709. Now, I'm supposed to ask you
questions about all that.Copy !req
710. You're supposed to?Copy !req
711. Well, nobody told me to,Copy !req
712. but that's the way I'm
supposed to do my job.Copy !req
713. They're certainly not personal.Copy !req
714. Whenever anyone says
it's not personal,Copy !req
715. that's exactly
when it's very personal.Copy !req
716. It's not by choice, ma'am.Copy !req
717. Sometimes I get all tense
when I have to do it.Copy !req
718. Well, then that's
your problem, Lieutenant.Copy !req
719. We have to do something to relieve
some of that tension.Copy !req
720. Oh. Be careful, ma'am.Copy !req
721. I won't touch your neck.
Just relax.Copy !req
722. That's a real relief.Copy !req
723. What I wanted to ask you, ma'am,Copy !req
724. would you have gotten this new job,
in charge of West Coast production,Copy !req
725. if Mr. McAndrews hadn't been murdered?Copy !req
726. Go on, ma'am.
You're not hurting me.Copy !req
727. No. I don't think Mark would have
given me the job.Copy !req
728. May I ask, ma'am,
why you say that?Copy !req
729. He never mentioned it.Copy !req
730. Now the fact is,Copy !req
731. he never mentioned it
to any of his executive staff.Copy !req
732. But you were his main assistant.Copy !req
733. Perhaps Mr. Flanagan had objections.Copy !req
734. Well, I don't mean
to pin you down, ma'am,Copy !req
735. but it was Mr. Flanagan
who gave you your promotion.Copy !req
736. Yes.Copy !req
737. But it's not a permanent promotion,
Lieutenant. Remember that.Copy !req
738. Well, Mr. Flanagan told me...Copy !req
739. that it would have been okay
with him if the murdered man...Copy !req
740. had given you the job.Copy !req
741. Then it was Mark's decision.Copy !req
742. I hear those little voices going
around in your ear, Lieutenant,Copy !req
743. asking could I possibly
have miraculously...Copy !req
744. murdered Mark for his job?Copy !req
745. Oh, no, ma'am.
I don't think that at all.Copy !req
746. You were up in the projection booth.Copy !req
747. And I don't think people
kill people for just a job.Copy !req
748. Even an important job like yours.Copy !req
749. A little lower down, ma'am,
if you don't mind.Copy !req
750. Either there was no motive at all,Copy !req
751. like in these crazy kind of murders that
you read about in the newspaper,Copy !req
752. or there was a very good motive.Copy !req
753. One that makes terrific sense.Copy !req
754. And that's what keeps
going around in my mind.Copy !req
755. The motive.Copy !req
756. No, I couldn't think those
thoughts about you, Miss Freestone.Copy !req
757. Not as long as all you had
with Mr. McAndrews...Copy !req
758. was a business relationship.Copy !req
759. Well, I'm sure you've checked
that out with the executive staff,Copy !req
760. haven't you, Lieutenant?Copy !req
761. Not by choice, ma'am.Copy !req
762. I wish I could help you, Lieutenant.Copy !req
763. You have, Miss Freestone.Copy !req
764. I'm gonna try sleeping tonight
without this thing.Copy !req
765. Well then, if you'll forgive me.Copy !req
766. I've had enough of my olden times.Copy !req
767. Yes, ma'am.Copy !req
768. How do you like that?
I almost forgot again.Copy !req
769. That item that I found
on the victim's desk.Copy !req
770. The one that I lost.
Well, I found it again.Copy !req
771. It was a slip of paper.Copy !req
772. Like a note that he was
making to himself.Copy !req
773. Some numbers
and the capital letter "K."Copy !req
774. Take a look at this, ma'am.
Maybe you can help me.Copy !req
775. You see the capital letter "K"...Copy !req
776. and the numbers 280,
450 with a circle around it,Copy !req
777. 240 and 230.Copy !req
778. Now, the "K" with those numbers.Copy !req
779. Does that mean anything to you, ma'am?Copy !req
780. Not a thing.Copy !req
781. No.Copy !req
782. You see, the numbers part,Copy !req
783. I think that they form
some kind of a pattern.Copy !req
784. I think they got something in common
and it's right on the tip of my tongue...Copy !req
785. but I can't put my finger on it.Copy !req
786. You can't help me?Copy !req
787. Sorry.Copy !req
788. Well, thanks a lot anyway.Copy !req
789. What's your first name, ma'am?Copy !req
790. Katherine.Copy !req
791. But they call you Kay.Copy !req
792. Yes.Copy !req
793. And there's this capital
letter "K" on the note.Copy !req
794. Yes.Copy !req
795. Does that ring a bell, ma'am?Copy !req
796. No.Copy !req
797. Nothing at all?Copy !req
798. No, no help at all.Copy !req
799. In this case, the "K"
must simply be a "K."Copy !req
800. Can't blame me for trying, ma'am.Copy !req
801. You see, Mrs. Columbo,Copy !req
802. she never believed the doctor
right from the start.Copy !req
803. She claimed
I was sleeping in a draft.Copy !req
804. Well, last night she insisted
upon closing the windows.Copy !req
805. Well, I woke up this morning,
I tell you, Sergeant,Copy !req
806. my neck felt terrific.Copy !req
807. That's very good, Lieutenant.Copy !req
808. I was getting so desperate
that I was gonna go to this clinic...Copy !req
809. where my brother-in-law
goes for his back problem.Copy !req
810. What they did,Copy !req
811. they said they had to
deaden the nerves in his nose.Copy !req
812. His nose, Lieutenant?Copy !req
813. His nose.Copy !req
814. They stuck a needle in his nose.Copy !req
815. Sticking right out
of his nose, like this.Copy !req
816. That's how he had to walk around,Copy !req
817. with a needle in his nose.Copy !req
818. What do you think of that,
Sergeant?Copy !req
819. That's very interesting, Lieutenant.Copy !req
820. I think so, too.Copy !req
821. Don't let me hold you up,
Sergeant. You go ahead.Copy !req
822. Yes, sir.Copy !req
823. Mr. Mearhead?Copy !req
824. Oh, hi, Lieutenant. Come on in.Copy !req
825. I just wanted to say that...Copy !req
826. I dropped the glove off for my nephew.Copy !req
827. He figures it'll improve his editing 100%.Copy !req
828. Well, you tell him he ought to
become a surgeon.Copy !req
829. That way he won't have
to see so much blood.Copy !req
830. You got any opinions
about violence on television?Copy !req
831. Well, I work nights a lot.Copy !req
832. I wanna tell you something.Copy !req
833. The other night, I come back
from Film Shipping...Copy !req
834. and the first thing I see is
some guy blowing his brains out.Copy !req
835. I mean, you think that's right?Copy !req
836. I got a change coming up.Copy !req
837. You know, it's crazy, Mr. Mearhead,Copy !req
838. but since I've been hanging around here
I think I've become a button freak.Copy !req
839. - Buttons and switches.
- Mmm-hmm.Copy !req
840. You don't suppose I could...Copy !req
841. try to make one
of these changeovers myself?Copy !req
842. I don't see why not. All it is,
is a writer watching an old movie.Copy !req
843. All right, when you see
your first flash, buttons up.Copy !req
844. Button up.Copy !req
845. Round before your dowser.Copy !req
846. Dowser up.Copy !req
847. On your second flash, Lieutenant,Copy !req
848. button here, button there, press.Copy !req
849. Button, button.Copy !req
850. Dowser down.Copy !req
851. - Down on dowser.
- Left light off.Copy !req
852. So, on the first flash,
buttons up?Copy !req
853. Buttons up.Copy !req
854. And the dowser up.Copy !req
855. Flash coming up.Copy !req
856. First flash.Copy !req
857. Flash up.Copy !req
858. Second flash coming up.Copy !req
859. Second flash. Now the buttons
go on the flash or before?Copy !req
860. Did I miss?Copy !req
861. - It goes on the flash, Lieutenant.
- On the flash.Copy !req
862. - On the flash.
- There it is. Okay.Copy !req
863. What happened?Copy !req
864. Walter, we lost our film in here.
What's going on?Copy !req
865. Walter, can you hear me?Copy !req
866. What the hell are you
playing at in there?Copy !req
867. Walter.Copy !req
868. Sorry. Excuse me.Copy !req
869. Lieutenant.Copy !req
870. Lieutenant! Lieutenant!Copy !req
871. Can I talk to you?Copy !req
872. Certainly, Sergeant.Copy !req
873. Can we go in here?Copy !req
874. I'd rather not.Copy !req
875. - McAndrews?
- Uh-huh.Copy !req
876. Got anything to go?Copy !req
877. No, nothing to go.Copy !req
878. All right. Hold on.Copy !req
879. I heard your promises last night
and the night before.Copy !req
880. Now, out of the carousel
location by midnight tonight.Copy !req
881. Kay, Luther's on one.
You have to talk to him.Copy !req
882. What it is
is a 90-minute melodrama.Copy !req
883. Now, you get that on tape
tonight, by midnight,Copy !req
884. or I am personally coming
out there to pull the plug.Copy !req
885. It's about Valerie.Copy !req
886. Yes, Luther.Copy !req
887. Valerie is gone.Copy !req
888. What do you mean, she's gone?Copy !req
889. I mean she's gone.
Gone is gone. Up the chimney.Copy !req
890. Nobody's seen her since we
finished the dress rehearsal...Copy !req
891. on the USO number.Copy !req
892. And we go on the air in
three hours and 20 minutes.Copy !req
893. Well, did she leave the building?
Has anyone checked with the guards?Copy !req
894. Kay, she left the building.
She's at your place. Line four.Copy !req
895. I'll get right back to you, Luther.Copy !req
896. Valerie?Copy !req
897. She's gone.Copy !req
898. I'll get her back.Copy !req
899. I'll get her back.Copy !req
900. Valerie.Copy !req
901. Val!Copy !req
902. Valerie!Copy !req
903. Did you call, madam?Copy !req
904. You call me, "Madam," but never
call me, "Late for dinner."Copy !req
905. - Come on.
- Don't you touch me.Copy !req
906. I don't want to!Copy !req
907. I have to do the show.
I'm gonna do the show.Copy !req
908. Luther's scared. Luther's so scared.Copy !req
909. Valerie's gonna do it live!Copy !req
910. Kay, please.Copy !req
911. Sure.Copy !req
912. Please.Copy !req
913. I hurt myself.Copy !req
914. Me, too, kiddo. Me, too.Copy !req
915. I told you I couldn't do it!Copy !req
916. Nobody listens.Copy !req
917. They'll listen when I sing.Copy !req
918. They'll listen when I sing.Copy !req
919. They'll listen when I sing.Copy !req
920. Please, give me a hug.Copy !req
921. No more hugs.
We're fresh out of hugs.Copy !req
922. I tried.Copy !req
923. I'm just not good anymore.Copy !req
924. Anymore.Copy !req
925. Mr. Ames, please.Copy !req
926. Henry, Valerie Kirk's at my
apartment.Copy !req
927. She won't be able
to make the show tonight.Copy !req
928. It doesn't matter right now.Copy !req
929. Look, just get control of yourself.Copy !req
930. We'll put in something else.
We'll put in a picture.Copy !req
931. What else have we got?Copy !req
932. Run The Professional.
It's the right length.Copy !req
933. I got it made, didn't I?Copy !req
934. Just tell the press that she fell down
some stairs and hurt her leg.Copy !req
935. What did you do?Copy !req
936. What all good girls do.
The best I can.Copy !req
937. Come on. Give us a hug.Copy !req
938. I really did it to you,
didn't I, Kay?Copy !req
939. I mean, I really did it.Copy !req
940. It doesn't matter.
It's only a show.Copy !req
941. I've got a million of them, kiddo.Copy !req
942. Closed.Copy !req
943. You promised.Copy !req
944. What?Copy !req
945. You promised.Copy !req
946. Closed.Copy !req
947. What?Copy !req
948. Promised what?Copy !req
949. My television set.Copy !req
950. Lieutenant Columbo.
You brought it in this morning.Copy !req
951. Yeah, I wanted it for tonight
but I had to work late.Copy !req
952. I'm working late myself
on your television set.Copy !req
953. Well, you see, sir,Copy !req
954. working nights, I don't get
to see much television.Copy !req
955. Mrs. Columbo,
she does a lot of reading...Copy !req
956. and she takes a lot
of night school courses.Copy !req
957. So the real TV fan
in the house, that's my dog.Copy !req
958. Boy, you got it going.
That's terrific.Copy !req
959. He likes television.
He can't get enough of it.Copy !req
960. You see that. You like that?Copy !req
961. He like it?Copy !req
962. Yes, sir, I think he likes it.Copy !req
963. How do you know he likes it?Copy !req
964. He never saw nothing yet
he didn't like.Copy !req
965. Well, if he didn't like it,Copy !req
966. how would you know
he didn't like it?Copy !req
967. Well, he would look very bored, sir.
All droopy and listless.Copy !req
968. I'll tell you the reason that
we wanted to see TV tonight is,Copy !req
969. we wanted to see the second half
of The Valerie Kirk Show.Copy !req
970. Not on.Copy !req
971. Not on?Copy !req
972. I said it's not on. This is the channel.
They got something else on instead.Copy !req
973. Something called The Professional.Copy !req
974. Oh, The Professional.Copy !req
975. Would you believe I know
the lady that made that show?Copy !req
976. Not a bad picture.Copy !req
977. Spy stuff.Copy !req
978. Spies. Your favorite.Copy !req
979. You gonna start that again?Copy !req
980. Come on, we gotta...
Up where the view is here.Copy !req
981. All right, move over. That's it.Copy !req
982. There, are you comfortable?Copy !req
983. Come on, up here
where you can see.Copy !req
984. Is that all right?Copy !req
985. Sorry, Lieutenant. Still not right.Copy !req
986. Not bad, sir.Copy !req
987. Not bad at all.Copy !req
988. You just keep working.Copy !req
989. I could fix you up with a
terrific new one. Under $400.Copy !req
990. Your dog would love it.Copy !req
991. No.Copy !req
992. I gotta buy a new bumper for my car,
maybe a new pair of shoes.Copy !req
993. I think I'll pass. Okay with you?Copy !req
994. It's okay with him.Copy !req
995. If it's okay with him, it's okay with me.
Good night, Lieutenant.Copy !req
996. Good night, sir.Copy !req
997. Not bad.Copy !req
998. Not bad at all.Copy !req
999. New York. Average rating 5.4,
average share 9.3.Copy !req
1000. Los Angeles, a little worse.
You want the numbers?Copy !req
1001. No, and I don't want
a hatpin in the ear, either.Copy !req
1002. We should probably get
the nationals by tomorrow.Copy !req
1003. All right, it comes
with the territory, Junior.Copy !req
1004. Wendy, you still on Flanagan?Copy !req
1005. He's been out all day.
I'll keep trying.Copy !req
1006. What time did the carousel
location wrap up last night?Copy !req
1007. They didn't.Copy !req
1008. Get me that genius Benjamin.Copy !req
1009. Lieutenant.Copy !req
1010. You're working rather late
tonight, aren't you?Copy !req
1011. Yes, ma'am.Copy !req
1012. Working late like
a television executive.Copy !req
1013. That's a very impressive desk, ma'am.Copy !req
1014. You could run the world
from a desk like that.Copy !req
1015. The world doesn't count.
Just the West Coast.Copy !req
1016. Through for the day, ma'am?Copy !req
1017. No. Not quite.Copy !req
1018. Mr. McAndrews,Copy !req
1019. he wasn't married?Copy !req
1020. He wasn't married.Copy !req
1021. Was he ever married, ma'am?Copy !req
1022. I don't know.Copy !req
1023. Engaged?Copy !req
1024. Engaged?Copy !req
1025. Engaged, ma'am.Copy !req
1026. I don't know.Copy !req
1027. What about women?Copy !req
1028. Did he run around a lot?Copy !req
1029. Kay.Copy !req
1030. Can I help you?Copy !req
1031. Yes, I'll be moving
in here tomorrow.Copy !req
1032. Would you please call the beach
location and let them know...Copy !req
1033. that I'm coming out there tonight?
And then that would be all.Copy !req
1034. Okay. Good night.Copy !req
1035. I was asking, ma'am, if he
ran around with a lot of women.Copy !req
1036. I don't know.Copy !req
1037. He must've had companions.Copy !req
1038. Would you say that...Copy !req
1039. women found Mr. McAndrews attractive?Copy !req
1040. I'm sure his secretaries did.Copy !req
1041. You, personally,Copy !req
1042. did you find him attractive?Copy !req
1043. Yes,Copy !req
1044. Mark was a very attractive man,Copy !req
1045. in his way.Copy !req
1046. You're an attractive man,
in your way, too.Copy !req
1047. I guess I told you that.Copy !req
1048. Yes, ma'am.Copy !req
1049. Please sit down.Copy !req
1050. Now, I ask people questions
and they answer.Copy !req
1051. Now, I ask them the same question
another time...Copy !req
1052. and they answer in a different way.Copy !req
1053. That's not because they're lying, ma'am.Copy !req
1054. I know that and I appreciate that.Copy !req
1055. There's been a death.Copy !req
1056. People are in shock, confusion.Copy !req
1057. People misremember.
They misspeak themselves.Copy !req
1058. Have I said something wrong?Copy !req
1059. Well, let's go all over again.Copy !req
1060. You said you knew nothing about
how Mr. McAndrews spent his nights.Copy !req
1061. That had nothing to do with you?Copy !req
1062. Mmm-hmm.Copy !req
1063. Sometimes we dined together
if we worked late.Copy !req
1064. And dates,Copy !req
1065. girls.Copy !req
1066. Maybe somebody he lived with.Copy !req
1067. We never asked each other.Copy !req
1068. Well, that holds
with what you said before.Copy !req
1069. But I'm surprised, ma'am.Copy !req
1070. And I don't mind tell you,
I find it all very troubling.Copy !req
1071. Because I was at Mr. McAndrews'
house yesterday.Copy !req
1072. The beach house.Copy !req
1073. And some cleaning was delivered,
some slacks and this blazer.Copy !req
1074. And that's the problem, ma'am.Copy !req
1075. This blazer.Copy !req
1076. You see, I noticed that the
buttons are on the wrong side.Copy !req
1077. It buttons right over left,Copy !req
1078. the wrong side
for a man's jacket that is,Copy !req
1079. because this is a woman's blazer.Copy !req
1080. There's a tailor's label in it.Copy !req
1081. And I checked on that.
This jacket was made for you.Copy !req
1082. It's your jacket.Copy !req
1083. Would you like to try it on, ma'am?Copy !req
1084. No.Copy !req
1085. Well, since you were sending your cleaning
out from Mr. McAndrews' house,Copy !req
1086. I can only assume...Copy !req
1087. All right, Lieutenant.Copy !req
1088. You've done very good work.
You've caught me in a lie.Copy !req
1089. I would say so, ma'am, yes.Copy !req
1090. Well, the corporation being
what it is,Copy !req
1091. Mark and I didn't feel
it would be very discrete...Copy !req
1092. to advertise our relationship.Copy !req
1093. Now, you can understand
that, can't you?Copy !req
1094. Yes, ma'am,
I can understand that.Copy !req
1095. But being discrete with the police,
that's something else again.Copy !req
1096. Is it so really important
to the police?Copy !req
1097. Well, you might have been able
to tell us things.Copy !req
1098. Now, we're gonna have
to talk about that.Copy !req
1099. All right.Copy !req
1100. I'm due on location now,Copy !req
1101. so perhaps we can talk
about it later on tomorrow.Copy !req
1102. As you say, you're not racing
the clock and I am.Copy !req
1103. I guess another day won't make
that much difference.Copy !req
1104. And I promise not to
change my address...Copy !req
1105. or renew my passport or leave town...Copy !req
1106. or ever tell another lie.Copy !req
1107. Well, you weren't even
under oath, ma'am.Copy !req
1108. But what we have here,Copy !req
1109. it's a matter of civic responsibility.Copy !req
1110. All the way down, ma'am?Copy !req
1111. All the way down.Copy !req
1112. I mean, if everybody kept their
little secrets from the police,Copy !req
1113. we'd be forever getting
to the bottom of our cases.Copy !req
1114. My goodness.Copy !req
1115. I'm not supposed
to do this in the elevator.Copy !req
1116. Excuse me?Copy !req
1117. I was talking about cooperation, ma'am.Copy !req
1118. I had a case once.
A man was cheating on his wife...Copy !req
1119. and he was
a very important witness,Copy !req
1120. but he was afraid to tell me.Copy !req
1121. I understand.Copy !req
1122. I hope you do, ma'am.Copy !req
1123. I apologize, Lieutenant.
I hope you forgive me.Copy !req
1124. Well, it's not my place, ma'am.Copy !req
1125. Oh, just so we have
a meeting of minds.Copy !req
1126. Oh, about that note,Copy !req
1127. the one that was
on Mr. McAndrews' desk.Copy !req
1128. The one with all the numbers on it,
the 450, the 280, the 230, the 250.Copy !req
1129. Nothing to worry about, ma'am.Copy !req
1130. It came to me. Those were
just some automobile models,Copy !req
1131. different kinds of Mercedes cars.Copy !req
1132. So I guess, Mr. McAndrews,Copy !req
1133. he must have been in
the market for a new car.Copy !req
1134. Aren't you coming, ma'am?Copy !req
1135. No, there's a phone call
I forgot to make.Copy !req
1136. - Good night, Lieutenant.
- Good night, ma'am.Copy !req
1137. Good night.Copy !req
1138. Miss Freestone,
a young fellow from the agency left it.Copy !req
1139. I was supposed to give you these.Copy !req
1140. I don't know anything about it.Copy !req
1141. This...Copy !req
1142. And this.Copy !req
1143. And these two pages.Copy !req
1144. It only hurts
for a little while, boys.Copy !req
1145. And they'll never miss
what they don't know.Copy !req
1146. Now, at least you're back
on schedule for tonight.Copy !req
1147. Where's the AD?Copy !req
1148. Kay,Copy !req
1149. got a minute for me?Copy !req
1150. Mr. Flanagan. Of course.Copy !req
1151. All right if we sit in the car?Copy !req
1152. If you like.Copy !req
1153. Oh, Carl.Copy !req
1154. Does this bother you?Copy !req
1155. No, not at all.Copy !req
1156. I want to talk about some of the
difficulties you've been having.Copy !req
1157. Valerie Kirk.Copy !req
1158. I understand she's
a close personal friend.Copy !req
1159. Yes, that's true.Copy !req
1160. I also understand that her director
tried to warn you about her incompetence.Copy !req
1161. That's also true.Copy !req
1162. Well,Copy !req
1163. we'll put that aside.Copy !req
1164. The decision to use The Professional
as a replacement for Valerie's show,Copy !req
1165. I'm sure you know
the ratings were very poor.Copy !req
1166. Well, under the circumstances...Copy !req
1167. Well, you created the circumstances.Copy !req
1168. Now, Kay,Copy !req
1169. nobody knows better than you that
The Professional cost us $1,600,000,Copy !req
1170. including a second run.Copy !req
1171. Now, you wasted the first one.Copy !req
1172. You threw away an impressive film.Copy !req
1173. I was under the impression that
you didn't like that film at all.Copy !req
1174. You had no right to make
an assumption about what I like.Copy !req
1175. We'll... We'll put that aside, too.Copy !req
1176. I've also been told that you're...Copy !req
1177. You're planning to...Copy !req
1178. To move into Mark's office tomorrow.Copy !req
1179. Why not?Copy !req
1180. I'll be needing more space.
The office comes with the job.Copy !req
1181. But you don't, Kay.Copy !req
1182. Nobody ever told you that your
present duties were permanent.Copy !req
1183. Also, I question your taste...Copy !req
1184. in leaping so quickly
behind a dead man's desk.Copy !req
1185. Well, I seem to have made
quite a big hit.Copy !req
1186. All in all.Copy !req
1187. Now, you don't have to rush
looking for a new position.Copy !req
1188. We'll, let's say, make it official
at the end of the month?Copy !req
1189. I'll try to consult you
in the press release.Copy !req
1190. Do you expect hysterics?Copy !req
1191. I hope not.Copy !req
1192. I'm as tough as you are.Copy !req
1193. I'll survive.Copy !req
1194. And you'll want me back.Copy !req
1195. I hope so.Copy !req
1196. Let's go to the party, Carl.Copy !req
1197. Dinner break, one half hour, folks.Copy !req
1198. Excuse me.Copy !req
1199. I'm looking for Miss Freestone.Copy !req
1200. Search me.
We're on dinner break.Copy !req
1201. Miss Freestone!Copy !req
1202. Miss Freestone, ma'am, are you here?Copy !req
1203. Miss Freestone.Copy !req
1204. We're very busy
where I am, Lieutenant.Copy !req
1205. You're going to have to
forgive me. We have problems.Copy !req
1206. Too many problems to speak now.Copy !req
1207. So I'm sorry, you'll have to forgive me.
I can't speak right now, Lieutenant.Copy !req
1208. Oh, I get it.Copy !req
1209. The cameras.Copy !req
1210. Oh, you're up
in that control place.Copy !req
1211. You can see me
on those big screens?Copy !req
1212. I'm right. You can see me.
Right, ma'am?Copy !req
1213. Lieutenant, can we speak
tomorrow at the office?Copy !req
1214. No, I... I'll call you.Copy !req
1215. I definitely promise I'll do that,
Lieutenant. I'll call you.Copy !req
1216. Well, it's very important
that we talk tonight, ma'am.Copy !req
1217. I'm afraid that's impossible.Copy !req
1218. I'm afraid I'll have to insist,
ma'am. I really have to do that.Copy !req
1219. I can't accept that.
I can't speak now!Copy !req
1220. Please bear with me, ma'am.Copy !req
1221. It has to do with the car.Copy !req
1222. The 450SL, the silver one that's
registered in your name.Copy !req
1223. The one that Mr. McAndrews bought.
That's all very puzzling, ma'am.Copy !req
1224. And there are other things.Copy !req
1225. There's your picture, The Professional,Copy !req
1226. and this connection with whoever
murdered Mr. McAndrews.Copy !req
1227. And there is a connection.
I'm pretty sure of that, ma'am.Copy !req
1228. I'm afraid it's necessary.Copy !req
1229. I know you're under
a lot of pressure, ma'am,Copy !req
1230. but there are these things
that we should talk about tonight.Copy !req
1231. I don't like to have to talk
to you this way, ma'am.Copy !req
1232. I know how you feel.Copy !req
1233. But it's very hard
not being able to see you.Copy !req
1234. Ma'am?Copy !req
1235. I told you I have work to do,
Lieutenant.Copy !req
1236. This show needs a lot of work.
The script needs work.Copy !req
1237. Ma'am,Copy !req
1238. like I asked you before,
this new job you got,Copy !req
1239. would you have it if
Mr. McAndrews hadn't been murdered?Copy !req
1240. No. I already told you,
I don't think so.Copy !req
1241. I don't think so either.
Is that why he bought you the car?Copy !req
1242. Sort of a parting gift
considering your relationship,Copy !req
1243. like he was getting rid of you?Copy !req
1244. I find that very intrusive, Lieutenant.Copy !req
1245. And I don't think you have a right.Copy !req
1246. Oh, I have the right, ma'am.
But I understand your feelings.Copy !req
1247. Please, keep bearing with me,
ma'am. Sit down.Copy !req
1248. You know, maybe it was fate.Copy !req
1249. But I came within 30 seconds...Copy !req
1250. of not seeing your
TV movie The Professional.Copy !req
1251. But I did see it, ma'am.Copy !req
1252. And I noticed something very peculiar.Copy !req
1253. So peculiar that I had the
projectionist run it again today.Copy !req
1254. And that Technical Director that I met,Copy !req
1255. he made this up for me
on television tape.Copy !req
1256. It's your movie, ma'am.Copy !req
1257. The part where the fella's
in the hotel room...Copy !req
1258. and he's gonna shoot himself.Copy !req
1259. Now, the Technical Director
told me...Copy !req
1260. that there would be
an eject button, blue.Copy !req
1261. Yes.Copy !req
1262. And a slot right here.Copy !req
1263. And an RT button one.Copy !req
1264. Here.Copy !req
1265. There it is ma'am.Copy !req
1266. Now, we'll just
watch this together, ma'am.Copy !req
1267. There it is now, there.Copy !req
1268. There he is. He's by the sink.Copy !req
1269. And there he's washing.Copy !req
1270. There, right there,
you see the flash?Copy !req
1271. Yes, Lieutenant, it's a cue blip.Copy !req
1272. And now the second one.Copy !req
1273. There. There's the second cue.Copy !req
1274. Now that's the cue for the
projectionist to make his changeover.Copy !req
1275. Am I right, Miss Freestone?Copy !req
1276. Yes, Lieutenant, I'm very impressed.Copy !req
1277. Excuse me, ma'am.
I don't mean to interrupt.Copy !req
1278. Right there, that high shot where
the man's lying on the hotel bed.Copy !req
1279. That's where the new reel begins.
Just watch it, ma'am.Copy !req
1280. And there, that's where
the man commits suicide.Copy !req
1281. And that's what
the projectionist saw...Copy !req
1282. right after he got back
from the shipping room.Copy !req
1283. That's what Mr. Mearhead told me.Copy !req
1284. He came back into the booth,Copy !req
1285. looked up and he saw
a man blowing his brains out.Copy !req
1286. You had to make the changeover...Copy !req
1287. right before Mr. Mearhead got back
from the shipping room.Copy !req
1288. Not a few minutes earlier,Copy !req
1289. not sometime before, like he thought.Copy !req
1290. I'm afraid, in this case,Copy !req
1291. Walter must be confused, Lieutenant.Copy !req
1292. He checked the footage counter
before he left.Copy !req
1293. You must've fooled him
about that, ma'am.Copy !req
1294. What I think,Copy !req
1295. I think you changed
the footage counter...Copy !req
1296. to place yourself in the projection
booth at the time of the murder.Copy !req
1297. But really, ma'am,Copy !req
1298. you had time enough to leave the booth
and get to Mr. McAndrews' office.Copy !req
1299. Just enough time.Copy !req
1300. Because when you rushed back
to make the changeover,Copy !req
1301. that's when you must've
dropped this glove...Copy !req
1302. by the projector.Copy !req
1303. It's Walter's glove.Copy !req
1304. Walter's projection booth.Copy !req
1305. I don't think you have
a case against Walter.Copy !req
1306. No, ma'am. Not the way he kept
that booth, so immaculate and all.Copy !req
1307. I don't see him just throwing
a glove on the floor.Copy !req
1308. And the lab says that this glove
has powder burns on it.Copy !req
1309. And then there's the gun.Copy !req
1310. Mr. McAndrews' gun,Copy !req
1311. the gun that murdered him.Copy !req
1312. The one that you put on the elevator.Copy !req
1313. Our people found it this afternoon.Copy !req
1314. And then we took a second gun,Copy !req
1315. one that looked like this gun
and we put it back on the elevator.Copy !req
1316. But we put it
where it could be seen...Copy !req
1317. as if the continuous movement
of the elevator had jiggled it...Copy !req
1318. so now it became visible.Copy !req
1319. Watch this, ma'am.Copy !req
1320. That's a TV picture of where
we placed the second gun,Copy !req
1321. just before you got on
the elevator with me, ma'am.Copy !req
1322. There it is. Now, there...Copy !req
1323. That's the way it looked...Copy !req
1324. right after you got back on
the elevator and came off it.Copy !req
1325. And you'll notice,Copy !req
1326. there is no gun.Copy !req
1327. Not anymore.
Because you got rid of it.Copy !req
1328. But this gun...Copy !req
1329. This is the gun that
you murdered him with.Copy !req
1330. I see.Copy !req
1331. I'm sure you do, ma'am.Copy !req
1332. It's very odd.Copy !req
1333. They say there's
a great sense of relief...Copy !req
1334. that comes when
something like this is over.Copy !req
1335. I don't feel that at all.Copy !req
1336. Quite the opposite.Copy !req
1337. Will you be taking me?Copy !req
1338. Yes, ma'am, into town. After that...Copy !req
1339. After that, I think
I know what will happen.Copy !req
1340. I'll fight.Copy !req
1341. I'll survive.Copy !req
1342. I might even win.Copy !req
1343. Yes, ma'am.Copy !req
1344. Should we turn this off, ma'am?Copy !req
1345. It doesn't matter.Copy !req
1346. Yes, ma'am, the power shortage.Copy !req
1347. I think I know the right button.Copy !req
