Copy !req
2. Starring Leslie Nielsen.
Copy !req
3. Also starring Alan North.
Copy !req
4. And Rex Hamilton
as Abraham Lincoln.
Copy !req
5. Tonight's special guest star,
William Shatner.
Copy !req
6. Hey, you!
Copy !req
7. Tonight's episode,
The Guilty Alibi.
Copy !req
8. Oh, it's only you, Ralph.
How's it going?
Copy !req
9. Great!
Copy !req
10. The Superior Court of the
County of Fordham is now in session.
Copy !req
11. The Honorable
J. Oliver Maxwell presiding.
Copy !req
12. You may be seated.
Copy !req
13. The court will come to order.
Copy !req
14. Uh, there will be
a five minute recess.
Copy !req
15. My name is
Lieutenant Frank Drebin,
Copy !req
16. Police Squad, a special
unit of the police department.
Copy !req
17. I was having my car washed when I
received an urgent call from downtown.
Copy !req
18. There had been a bombing
at the courthouse.
Copy !req
19. I got to headquarters
as fast as I could.
Copy !req
20. - Hi, Ed.
- Oh, Frank.
Copy !req
21. What do you got for me?
Copy !req
22. A sizable explosion over at
the criminal courts building.
Copy !req
23. - Coffee, Frank?
- Sure.
Copy !req
24. Yeah, that poor judge
never stood a chance.
Copy !req
25. Anyone else hurt?
Copy !req
26. No, some minor injuries,
but nothing serious.
Copy !req
27. A doughnut, Frank?
Copy !req
28. Yeah, thanks.
Copy !req
29. Sounds like the judge was a
target. What do we got on him?
Copy !req
30. Well, his name was
J. Oliver Maxwell.
Copy !req
31. He'd been on the bench
for 25 years.
Copy !req
32. Had a reputation
for harsh sentences.
Copy !req
33. A revenge killing?
Copy !req
34. Well, that was
my thought, Frank.
Copy !req
35. I've got Marcus and Drake going through
the records of recently released prisoners.
Copy !req
36. Turns out that
seven of those guys
Copy !req
37. were sent up
by Judge Maxwell himself.
Copy !req
38. Here, I've made out
a list for you.
Copy !req
39. Ah, Monroe, Lynch,
Copy !req
40. Barker, Fanning, Smith,
Brookhouse, Casales.
Copy !req
41. Wait a minute.
That name rings a bell.
Copy !req
42. Eddie Casales?
Copy !req
43. Casals...
Copy !req
44. Casales...
Copy !req
45. Casals...
Copy !req
46. Say, wasn't that the guy
that was convicted of bombing
Copy !req
47. about six or seven years ago?
Copy !req
48. Right.
Copy !req
49. And I remember him as being
a pretty tough customer.
Copy !req
50. Yeah.
Copy !req
51. Al? You got that file
on Eddie Casales?
Copy !req
52. - Got it right here.
- Thanks.
Copy !req
53. Oh, and Al, get yourself a
haircut. You look ridiculous.
Copy !req
54. Sorry, Captain, I was just
trying something different.
Copy !req
55. Here we are.
Copy !req
56. Casales, age 40, sentenced
12 years Statesville Prison
Copy !req
57. for two counts willful
destruction of property,
Copy !req
58. possession of explosives
without a permit.
Copy !req
59. No previous felony record.
Copy !req
60. Paroled last month
after serving seven years.
Copy !req
61. Well, according to this,
Frank, he was a model prisoner.
Copy !req
62. Motive and M.O. fit.
Copy !req
63. Yeah, well, it's as good
a place as any to start.
Copy !req
64. Here's his last known address.
Copy !req
65. Evidently his ex-wife
still lives there.
Copy !req
66. Let's check out
this Eddie Casales.
Copy !req
67. Right.
Copy !req
68. Our file on Casales
pointed out the fact
Copy !req
69. that he had been divorced
while in prison.
Copy !req
70. His wife buried herself in
charity work to ease the pain.
Copy !req
71. Yes?
Copy !req
72. - Are you Lana Casales?
- Yes.
Copy !req
73. Lieutenant Drebin, Captain
Hocken, Police Squad.
Copy !req
74. May we ask you some questions?
Copy !req
75. Oh, well, certainly.
Come on in.
Copy !req
76. Thank you.
Copy !req
77. I hope you'll excuse the mess.
Copy !req
78. I've been packing up
a few things for charity.
Copy !req
79. Uh-huh.
Copy !req
80. - May I take your coat, Captain?
- Thank you.
Copy !req
81. I suppose this has something
to do with Eddie?
Copy !req
82. I'm afraid so.
Copy !req
83. It's about the courthouse
bombing, isn't it?
Copy !req
84. Well, it's in all the papers.
Copy !req
85. - Oh, let me take that.
- Oh, thank you.
Copy !req
86. Have you, uh, seen or heard from
Eddie since he's been released?
Copy !req
87. We haven't spoken much
since the divorce.
Copy !req
88. It's just as well.
Copy !req
89. Do you know where Eddie
is right now?
Copy !req
90. You might try
the Club Flamingo.
Copy !req
91. He hangs out there
with some chorus girl,
Copy !req
92. a floozy named Mimi Du Jour.
Copy !req
93. Du Jour. Is she French?
Copy !req
94. That's just her stage name.
Her real name is Mimi Coffee.
Copy !req
95. Coffee?
Copy !req
96. No, thank you.
Copy !req
97. It seemed Lana welcomed
this opportunity to pour her heart out.
Copy !req
98. At first she and Eddie
had a good marriage,
Copy !req
99. regular jobs,
close friends, a dentist.
Copy !req
100. She thought
it would last forever.
Copy !req
101. Slowly he began to change.
Copy !req
102. When Eddie's criminal
activities became known,
Copy !req
103. they were run from town
like common pygmies.
Copy !req
104. We waited until
she had finished her story,
Copy !req
105. then we left on what
we hoped would be
Copy !req
106. a rendezvous with Eddie Casales.
Copy !req
107. That evening we caught Mimi Du
Jour's show at the Club Flamingo.
Copy !req
108. We hoped a talk with her would
be half as revealing as her act.
Copy !req
109. Yeah?
Copy !req
110. - Mimi Du Jour?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
111. I'm Lieutenant Drebin. This is
Captain Hocken, Police Squad.
Copy !req
112. Is this some kind of bust?
Copy !req
113. Yes, it's very impressive, but
we'd just like to ask a few questions.
Copy !req
114. Well, come on in.
Copy !req
115. Thank you. We'll try not to
take up too much of your time.
Copy !req
116. - Do you mind if I change?
- Not at all.
Copy !req
117. We understand you're acquainted
with a certain Eddie Casales.
Copy !req
118. Yeah. Why do you ask?
Copy !req
119. Just wanna ask him
some questions.
Copy !req
120. He's not in
any kind of trouble, is he?
Copy !req
121. Well, we're not sure. Do you
know where we can find him?
Copy !req
122. I have no idea.
Copy !req
123. All right, let's get moving.
You're on stage in five minutes.
Copy !req
124. There's a misunderstanding.
We're police officers.
Copy !req
125. Police officers?
Copy !req
126. Five minutes.
Copy !req
127. Did you by any chance,
uh, have any occasion to know
Copy !req
128. where Eddie was last night?
Copy !req
129. Last night?
Copy !req
130. Why, yes, he—he was with me.
Copy !req
131. We went to the movies.
Copy !req
132. - Oh, yeah.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
133. On the Waterfront.
Copy !req
134. Come on. There are no movie
theaters on the waterfront.
Copy !req
135. Mimi, you ready?
Copy !req
136. Eddie!
Copy !req
137. Hey, creeps, beat it!
I'm taking the lady home.
Copy !req
138. They're cops, Eddie.
Copy !req
139. Eddie, we'd like to ask you
a few questions.
Copy !req
140. Two minutes and I'm not
kidding. You a policeman, too?
Copy !req
141. No, I'm an ex-con.
Copy !req
142. Ex-con.
Copy !req
143. Two minutes.
Copy !req
144. What were you doing on the
waterfront last night, Eddie?
Copy !req
145. I wasn't on the waterfront.
I was at the movies.
Copy !req
146. That's not what she says.
Copy !req
147. All right, can it.
I know why you guys are here.
Copy !req
148. You're trying to pin
that court bombing on me.
Copy !req
149. We were getting around to that.
Copy !req
150. Yeah, well, a lot of guys
could have done it.
Copy !req
151. Boy, you cops never give
an ex-con a break.
Copy !req
152. I try to put my past behind
me, but every time I turn around,
Copy !req
153. well, there's somebody there telling
me who I am or where I've been.
Copy !req
154. It's like you're
branded for life.
Copy !req
155. We're sorry about that, Eddie.
Don't plan on leaving town.
Copy !req
156. We might want
to talk to you again.
Copy !req
157. Didn't you tell them
I was at the movies?
Copy !req
158. Sure, just like you said, Eddie.
Copy !req
159. I'd never cross you up.
Copy !req
160. Yeah. Good girl.
Copy !req
161. So you see, Katie,
Copy !req
162. fish have gills to extract
oxygen from water,
Copy !req
163. but—but air-breathing species
have lungs
Copy !req
164. which are equipped only to
accept oxygen in its natural state.
Copy !req
165. And that's why most mammals
must live on land.
Copy !req
166. Wow, that's neat!
Copy !req
167. Oh, hi, Frank.
Copy !req
168. Would you like to keep him,
Katie?
Copy !req
169. Can I?
Copy !req
170. Gee, thanks,
Mr. Olson.
Copy !req
171. Why don't you run
along now, Katie,
Copy !req
172. and next week I'll show you why
women can't play professional football.
Copy !req
173. Okay. Bye, Mr. Olson.
Copy !req
174. Any progress, Ted?
Copy !req
175. Some. Look at this.
Copy !req
176. We've been sorting through
the fragments left by the bombing.
Copy !req
177. And we've been able to
reconstruct the part of the courtroom
Copy !req
178. where the explosion occurred.
Copy !req
179. What's the bomb made from?
Copy !req
180. I've analyzed the fragments.
Copy !req
181. We found traces of seven
common household chemicals.
Copy !req
182. When mixed together in the proper
ratios, they can be highly unstable.
Copy !req
183. What you're saying
is that anyone
Copy !req
184. with a high school knowledge of
chemistry could have made the bomb.
Copy !req
185. Right.
Copy !req
186. It's a fairly crude explosive,
Copy !req
187. not the work of a professional.
Copy !req
188. Hey, watch it!
Hey, Frank, take it easy.
Copy !req
189. I'm sorry, Ted.
Copy !req
190. Doctor says that too much
caffeine makes me edgy.
Copy !req
191. Why don't you try some of this?
Copy !req
192. It's decaffeinated coffee.
Copy !req
193. Decaffeinated, huh?
Copy !req
194. Well, I'll give it a try.
Copy !req
195. Ted.
Copy !req
196. Oh, hi, Frank.
Copy !req
197. You were right
about that coffee.
Copy !req
198. I sure feel better now.
Copy !req
199. Well, accidents will happen.
Copy !req
200. kinda
cold in that section of the country.
Copy !req
201. Locally, it is 68 degrees
under partly cloudy skies...
Copy !req
202. No reports
of traffic congestion
Copy !req
203. on any of the major
freeways coming into midtown.
Copy !req
204. Disperse! Please disperse!
Copy !req
205. There's nothing
for you to see here.
Copy !req
206. Please go home.
Keep moving, please.
Copy !req
207. Keep moving.
Copy !req
208. Glad you're here, Frank.
What do you got, Ed?
Copy !req
209. Victim's name was John
Symington. He was a trial lawyer.
Copy !req
210. Oh, and this'll interest you.
Copy !req
211. He used to be an assistant DA.
Copy !req
212. Uh-huh.
Copy !req
213. Seven years ago
he prosecuted Eddie Casales.
Copy !req
214. - That's quite a coincidence.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
215. I can't believe anybody
would do something so cruel.
Copy !req
216. Senseless brutality,
senseless waste.
Copy !req
217. Cut down in the prime of life.
Copy !req
218. That car was a classic. A '68.
Copy !req
219. Do you suppose the widow
would take $1,500 for it?
Copy !req
220. No, there's the tow truck.
Copy !req
221. What do you think, Ed?
Copy !req
222. Well, my guess, Frank, is
it's the same sort of a bomb.
Copy !req
223. The strange thing is, we
haven't been able to find the body.
Copy !req
224. That was quite an explosion.
Copy !req
225. Yeah.
Copy !req
226. Well, our job's done here.
Copy !req
227. Yeah, we better get back to
headquarters. What time is it?
Copy !req
228. Mmm, it's later than I thought.
Copy !req
229. Lieutenant,
Copy !req
230. I found this on the curb
next to the car.
Copy !req
231. Club Flamingo.
Copy !req
232. I think we better have a
talk with Eddie Casales.
Copy !req
233. Mmm.
Copy !req
234. I'm telling you,
you got nothing on me.
Copy !req
235. You're wasting your time.
Copy !req
236. All right, Eddie.
Let's go over it again.
Copy !req
237. Where were you last night?
Copy !req
238. I told you a dozen times.
I was at the movies.
Copy !req
239. I've got the sandwiches here.
Copy !req
240. All right, Eddie, you went to the
movies. Now what did you see?
Copy !req
241. I told you, I don't remember!
Copy !req
242. Uh, who had the egg salad?
Copy !req
243. I don't remember.
Copy !req
244. Somebody ordered it.
Copy !req
245. You can't expect us to buy that.
Copy !req
246. But I already paid for it.
Copy !req
247. Why don't you
give a guy a break?
Copy !req
248. Thanks a lot.
Copy !req
249. - What's the charge, huh?
- Uh, $4.58.
Copy !req
250. What're you trying
to do, insult us?
Copy !req
251. Okay, $3.50.
Coffee's on me.
Copy !req
252. I told you.
I went to the movies.
Copy !req
253. I feel asleep.
I don't remember.
Copy !req
254. You don't expect us
to swallow that!
Copy !req
255. All right, I'll eat it.
Copy !req
256. But I don't think it's fair that
I should have to pay for it.
Copy !req
257. All right, Eddie.
Copy !req
258. Let's say you did
go to the movies.
Copy !req
259. Okay.
Copy !req
260. "You did go
to the movies."
Copy !req
261. Then let's say that you were
nowhere near the Club Flamingo.
Copy !req
262. All right.
Copy !req
263. "You were nowhere
near the Club Flamingo."
Copy !req
264. Then explain this to me.
Copy !req
265. Well, you take this little
cardboard stick out
Copy !req
266. with sulfur on the end
Copy !req
267. and you rub it on the edges
and it makes fire.
Copy !req
268. Don't play dumb with me, Eddie.
Copy !req
269. You spend a lot of time
at the Club Flamingo.
Copy !req
270. Yeah, well, so did a lot of
guys. It was a popular club.
Copy !req
271. AL: Captain,
can you take a phone call?
Copy !req
272. Not now, Al.
Copy !req
273. Why don't you come clean?
Copy !req
274. Make it easy on yourself.
Tell us the truth.
Copy !req
275. Well, I ain't talking!
You got nothing to book me on!
Copy !req
276. Frank.
Copy !req
277. I'm afraid he's right.
Copy !req
278. We're gonna have to let him go.
Copy !req
279. All the evidence we've got
is purely circumstantial.
Copy !req
280. Yeah, you're right.
Copy !req
281. Tell that bomber to take off.
Copy !req
282. When I got home I
received a call from Mimi Du Jour.
Copy !req
283. She said she wanted to
see me at the club right away.
Copy !req
284. Since I had no idea
where the Club Rightaway was,
Copy !req
285. I suggested the Club Flamingo.
She agreed.
Copy !req
286. - May I check your coat?
- Thank you.
Copy !req
287. Thank you.
Copy !req
288. Well, Mimi Du Jour.
Copy !req
289. Oh, Lieutenant,
thank you for coming.
Copy !req
290. - Cigarette?
- Yes, I know.
Copy !req
291. Well, what can I do for you?
Copy !req
292. It's about Eddie.
Copy !req
293. I—I can't cover
for him anymore.
Copy !req
294. Ricardo, two more,
please. What do you mean?
Copy !req
295. I lied.
Copy !req
296. He never took me to the movies.
Copy !req
297. What?
Copy !req
298. I lied.
He never took me to the movies.
Copy !req
299. Where'd he go?
Copy !req
300. Out somewhere.
Copy !req
301. He told me it was best
if I didn't know anything.
Copy !req
302. If he's mixed up
in all this trouble,
Copy !req
303. I don't wanna be part of it.
Copy !req
304. And if it's another girl
he's seeing,
Copy !req
305. - I don't wanna be a sap.
Copy !req
306. Mmm. I understand.
Copy !req
307. No, you don't.
Copy !req
308. You don't know how hard it is
ratting on the guy you love.
Copy !req
309. I'm all Eddie's had
since he divorced his wife.
Copy !req
310. Wait a minute,
I thought Lana left him.
Copy !req
311. No.
Copy !req
312. Now he has good reason
to dump me, too.
Copy !req
313. Maybe I should have just
kept my big mouth shut.
Copy !req
314. Mimi had done
the right thing.
Copy !req
315. She had provided me with a few
answers, but now I needed more.
Copy !req
316. Hi, Johnny.
Copy !req
317. I need some information
on a certain parolee.
Copy !req
318. You mean Eddie Casales?
Copy !req
319. Yeah, what do you
know about him?
Copy !req
320. Convicted bomber,
released a month ago.
Copy !req
321. It's all in your files,
Lieutenant.
Copy !req
322. No, no, no,
I need something personal.
Copy !req
323. What occupies his time?
Copy !req
324. Mimi Du Jour
and the Milwaukee Brewers.
Copy !req
325. Does he see many games?
Copy !req
326. Season tickets.
Copy !req
327. Beyond that,
I don't know nothing.
Copy !req
328. Thanks, Johnny.
Copy !req
329. Johnny, I've been getting a lot of
mail about the Cinderella complex.
Copy !req
330. So?
Copy !req
331. Women's fear of success
Copy !req
332. has left many of them confused
Copy !req
333. about their wants and needs.
Copy !req
334. Consequently,
the stress-related burnout
Copy !req
335. has driven many women
from feminist aggression
Copy !req
336. to female passivity,
Copy !req
337. dependent upon their partner
for vicarious fulfillment.
Copy !req
338. Well, what do I tell them?
Copy !req
339. Tell them to get in touch with
their unconscious feelings
Copy !req
340. and to share in the growth
process with their partner.
Copy !req
341. Thanks, Johnny.
Copy !req
342. See you.
Copy !req
343. Uh, Lana,
Copy !req
344. Lieutenant Drebin here.
We picked up Eddie.
Copy !req
345. But we had to release him.
Copy !req
346. We don't have enough
to hold him on.
Copy !req
347. Oh, he's such a vindictive man.
Copy !req
348. What will it take to put him
behind bars for good?
Copy !req
349. Well, we're lacking that
one piece of special evidence
Copy !req
350. that would make
an airtight case.
Copy !req
351. In the meantime, Lana, we're
worried about you and Mimi.
Copy !req
352. Mimi?
Copy !req
353. Yeah, Mimi blew his alibi.
Copy !req
354. Now, Eddie knows the two
of you talked to the police
Copy !req
355. and he's mad.
Copy !req
356. There's no predicting
what he might do.
Copy !req
357. We've offered Mimi
police protection,
Copy !req
358. but she's tired of having
the cops hanging around.
Copy !req
359. I see.
Copy !req
360. Now, we're prepared to offer you
Copy !req
361. the same police protection.
Copy !req
362. That's very thoughtful,
Lieutenant,
Copy !req
363. but it won't be necessary.
Copy !req
364. I'm leaving town tonight.
Copy !req
365. Oh, I see.
Copy !req
366. Ah, well, in the long run,
that might be just as well.
Copy !req
367. Listen, Lana,
in the meantime, be careful.
Copy !req
368. Lana's attitude
seemed confusing.
Copy !req
369. She was almost hostile
toward Eddie,
Copy !req
370. yet she felt no threat from him.
Copy !req
371. Now she was suddenly
leaving town.
Copy !req
372. Mimi was scared. She had
to be. She was a sitting duck.
Copy !req
373. She loved Eddie.
That was clear.
Copy !req
374. But if he was the bomber, she
knew there could be no future.
Copy !req
375. There was nothing
we could do now
Copy !req
376. but wait for the
bomber's next move
Copy !req
377. and hope we could stop him
before he struck again.
Copy !req
378. Is she still there, Frank?
Copy !req
379. Yeah.
Copy !req
380. You've gotta hand it to Mimi.
Copy !req
381. Her life's in danger and
yet she won't run away.
Copy !req
382. Mmm.
Copy !req
383. - Hmm?
- Hold it.
Copy !req
384. There's someone over there.
Let's go.
Copy !req
385. It's time. We've spotted the
suspect and we're going in.
Copy !req
386. Roger, we copy.
We have you in view.
Copy !req
387. Not so loud.
Copy !req
388. Sorry,
we didn't copy that.
Copy !req
389. Will you be quiet?
Copy !req
390. Roger. Ready to assist.
Copy !req
391. Okay, hold it!
Copy !req
392. Not this time,
Lana. The game's over.
Copy !req
393. Stand back!
Copy !req
394. Now, make it easy on yourself.
Copy !req
395. We know you did
the other bombings.
Copy !req
396. I'm warning you, Lieutenant.
Don't come any closer
Copy !req
397. or I'll blow this
whole neighborhood sky high.
Copy !req
398. Get back!
Get back all of you.
Copy !req
399. You people are in great danger.
Copy !req
400. Now someone could get hurt.
Now get back.
Copy !req
401. Listen to me. Get your
hands off that detonator.
Copy !req
402. Forget it, Lieutenant.
You set me up.
Copy !req
403. If I can't have Eddie back, I'll make
sure that Mimi can't have him either.
Copy !req
404. Wait!
Copy !req
405. I don't understand, I...
Copy !req
406. Eddie!
Copy !req
407. Just in time, Eddie.
Copy !req
408. Piece of cake, Lieutenant.
Copy !req
409. No, thanks, I just ate.
Copy !req
410. Well, Lana, you didn't
leave town tonight,
Copy !req
411. but you'll be leaving soon
for the Stateville Prison.
Copy !req
412. Okay, boys, run her in.
Copy !req
413. Here you are, Ed.
Copy !req
414. Oh, thanks, Frank.
Copy !req
415. Well, it looks like
Lana'll be doing her bombing
Copy !req
416. up in the Stateville Prison
from now on.
Copy !req
417. Up there along with Sally
Decker and Martin and Gunderson.
Copy !req
418. You know, there's one thing that
still puzzles me about this case.
Copy !req
419. Now, you said Eddie
lied about his alibi?
Copy !req
420. Yeah, he wasn't at the movie.
Copy !req
421. He was over in Milwaukee
watching a baseball game.
Copy !req
422. Afraid to tell anyone because
crossing over the state line
Copy !req
423. is a violation of parole.
Copy !req
424. Parole violation, huh?
Copy !req
425. Well, what are we
gonna do about that?
Copy !req
426. Ah, forget it.
Copy !req
427. There are some things
you can't deprive a man of.
Copy !req
428. Well, I'll drink to that, Frank.
Copy !req
429. Say, Captain, what do you
want me to do with these files...
Copy !req
430. Be sure to tune
in next week for another exciting story
Copy !req
431. from the files of Police Squad!
