00:01:06They say you have something for me.
00:01:08Nobody knows about this, right?
00:01:11Don't be paranoid on me, man.
00:01:13Hey, they find out I even talked to you. I've had it.
00:01:15What do you got?

00:04:02Patrick, what is it?

00:04:14Patrick!
00:04:44Come on.
00:05:14Come on.
00:05:23Ma'am.
00:05:24Fill it up, please.
00:05:25You got your credit.
00:05:26Credit card.
00:05:40The rear tower looks like it's about to go.
00:05:43I'm gonna check your spare.
00:05:45Um...
00:05:47Wait.
00:05:48Look.
00:05:49I'm in a really, uh, big hurry.
00:05:51How much do I owe you?
00:05:52But you're not full yet.
00:05:54That's all right.
00:05:55Just, uh, keep the change, okay?
00:05:57You got it.
00:06:13That's all right.
00:06:14You have to know.
00:06:15Hi.
00:06:16I'm sorry.
00:06:17I have to go.
00:06:18I'm sorry.
00:06:19I'm sorry.
00:06:20I'm sorry.
00:06:21I have to go.
00:06:22I don't know.
00:06:23I don't know.
00:06:24Let's go.
00:06:54Let's go.
00:07:24It was found last night.
00:07:25Filling station attendant gave us a license number of your car that he wrote on the credit card slip before you drove away in such a hurry.
00:07:33I just, uh, I went out for a drive.
00:07:35I don't really know where I was.
00:07:36I was just driving around.
00:07:37Judge Hartman's key ring was found on the floor in your apartment.
00:07:42One of those keys unlocks your door.
00:07:44Do you have an attorney?
00:07:50Yeah, well, I can say unequivocally.
00:07:52She did not do it.
00:07:54The neighbors reported hearing what sounded like gunshots coming from the floor of her apartment at about nine o'clock.
00:08:01Lab says bloodstains on the carpet, the robe, and the trunk of her car are dead match.
00:08:06She couldn't have done it.
00:08:07Not possible.
00:08:09Until you come up with something bad, I'm arresting her for murder.
00:08:15The lawyer's here.
00:08:18Jeffrey, I didn't kill him.
00:08:20I swear, please blame me.
00:08:21I didn't kill him.
00:08:22I know, I know, you didn't.
00:08:24Just don't worry.
00:08:25I'll take care of everything.
00:08:36Hey, Julian.
00:08:38Hey, Ray.
00:08:39How we doing?
00:08:40Looks like it's gonna be slow for tonight.
00:08:43And tomorrow.
00:08:44Glad you're the owner, not me.
00:08:48Where's Uncle Phil?
00:08:49Well, I don't know, man, but I gotta go.
00:08:51I'm gonna be late for class.
00:08:52Who are you supposed to be managing this place?
00:08:56Hey, Uncle Phil.
00:08:58Hello there.
00:09:00Uncle Phil.
00:09:01Yep.
00:09:02Hey, uh, why are you wearing that blue suit?
00:09:06Since when does it have to be an occasion for me to look good?
00:09:10Man, where have you been?
00:09:12You're late.
00:09:13The lunch crowd's about to come in here.
00:09:14Oh, I had to get a haircut.
00:09:16Is that cologne that smell?
00:09:18Yeah.
00:09:19Made in Taiwan.
00:09:20Uh-huh.
00:09:22You like it?
00:09:23Do I have to?
00:09:25Hey, have you read this issue of Faye magazine?
00:09:29You should read what that critic wrote about the downtown grill.
00:09:36Downtown grill is a gastronomy disaster.
00:09:39Right.
00:09:40Ooh-wee.
00:09:42This brother can be cruel.
00:09:43Mm-hmm.
00:09:44The ghostly gourmet.
00:09:47Why does he call himself that?
00:09:48Well, that's because he or she could snoop around a restaurant without being discovered.
00:09:52And guess what?
00:09:53He or she is gonna review this restaurant and next month's issue, so we gotta get on the stick.
00:09:58I'm gonna alert the staff.
00:09:59All right, listen up, everybody.
00:10:06Ghostly gourmet is on his way here.
00:10:08Oh, man.
00:10:10I was at the Parthenon when it got reviewed.
00:10:13Business got real slow and some of us got laid off.
00:10:16Now, I don't want you to do anything special.
00:10:19Just keep on your toes and do your thing.
00:10:21We do our thing here.
00:10:22We have nothing to worry about.
00:10:23All right?
00:10:24Hey!
00:10:25Look who just came in.
00:10:26Hey, Donna, hold on.
00:10:29My favorite paralegal.
00:10:30How's Jeffrey Winslow treating you?
00:10:32Oh, fine.
00:10:33Mostly.
00:10:33He asked me to come over here and find out why he hasn't been returning his phone calls.
00:10:36Oh, not returning his calls.
00:10:40Were those phone calls about jobs?
00:10:43The Christina Parker case.
00:10:44He's already assigned me to work with you, Ray, and I've done all my research.
00:10:47I'm ready to go.
00:10:47Look, now, Donna, I must have missed those calls, but you told Mr. Winslow that I'm much too busy.
00:10:51I got a lot of things to do here.
00:10:52Just a minute, Donna.
00:10:54Of course you're too busy here, and you got a lot of stuff to do, like fix that old refrigerator before it breaks down completely.
00:11:01Like get us some new glassware before it runs out, and for God's sakes, fix that air conditioner before we all get broiled black in here.
00:11:09But you said you like this place funky.
00:11:11Funky is one thing, bankruptcy is another.
00:11:14Mr. Winslow has plenty of money, and that's exactly what we need.
00:11:17So you just hustle yourself on over there and get us some.
00:11:22Donna, you may tell Mr. Winslow that Mr. Alexander has already left.
00:11:27He should be arriving any minute now, any second.
00:11:31You notice things haven't changed around here.
00:11:34Bye.
00:11:35I had met Patrick about two years ago.
00:11:40My fiancé had just broken off our engagement, and I wasn't feeling too good about myself.
00:11:45Patrick was very kind and thoughtful and attractive.
00:11:50I never actually thought I would have an affair with a married man, but...
00:11:57Anyway, we both knew there was no future in it.
00:12:00I mean, he'd been married 20 years.
00:12:03His kids were in college.
00:12:04His wife was a devout Catholic, so...
00:12:08I had had a roommate at the time, so we would go to hotels.
00:12:13But he was afraid he'd be seen, so...
00:12:16We got an apartment.
00:12:19Did he pay the rent?
00:12:20Look, I know how this must look to you, but I was going to pay him back.
00:12:26Oh, really?
00:12:27How did you plan to do that?
00:12:30Well, I don't make much money modeling just expenses, really, but I'm studying fashion design,
00:12:36and when I got a real job, I was going to...
00:12:38Look, what is the difference, anyway?
00:12:40No one is going to believe me.
00:12:42Hey, I might.
00:12:44Did he give you money?
00:12:46He loaned it to me, yes, when I needed it.
00:12:49Hmm.
00:12:50Tell me, why did you move the body?
00:12:53I didn't want him to be found in my apartment, so it would avoid a scandal.
00:12:58So his wife and kids wouldn't have to go through what they're obviously going to have to go through now.
00:13:02You saw the paper.
00:13:04Oh, yeah.
00:13:06Judge murdered in the mistress's apartment.
00:13:09I didn't help myself much, did I?
00:13:11No, you didn't.
00:13:12And the judge didn't deserve it, either.
00:13:14He was a good man.
00:13:15You knew him?
00:13:16Oh, yeah.
00:13:17I was in a little bit of trouble a little while back, and the judge, along with Jeffrey Winslow, got me a new trial, and I was acquitted.
00:13:24I sure would like to catch up with the person who did this to him.
00:13:28By the way, I don't think you did it.
00:13:33How's it going?
00:13:34Getting acquainted.
00:13:36Good.
00:13:37I just arranged for your mail.
00:13:41Now, we've got a couple of stops to make, so I'll meet you both downstairs.
00:13:45Now, Ray's the best.
00:13:46You couldn't possibly be in better hands.
00:13:48Second owner should be a counselor here, of course.
00:13:49I'm very grateful to both of you.
00:13:51Ah!
00:13:52A pleasure, a pleasure.
00:13:53What do you got?
00:13:55You know, it's the prosecution's theory that it was either a crime of passion, or you were afraid to see your meal ticket go away.
00:14:02Patrick and I hadn't even been lovers for the last six months.
00:14:05We both thought it would be better if we were just friends.
00:14:09I really cared about him.
00:14:10I would never do anything to harm him.
00:14:12Do you know anybody who would?
00:14:14No.
00:14:15Did he mention any problems he might be having?
00:14:19He was having some financial problems with some man named, you know, Darnell.
00:14:24Mm-hmm.
00:14:25Yeah, he called him a couple of times from my place.
00:14:28Darnell, do you know his first name?
00:14:30No.
00:14:31Yes, I do.
00:14:32It's, um, Frank.
00:14:34He said he would see him again on Wednesday night, as usual.
00:14:39See him when?
00:14:40I don't know.
00:14:41I don't know.
00:14:42He was safe.
00:14:48Look at him.
00:14:49Vultures.
00:14:50I don't think it's any need for you to subject yourself to this.
00:14:54I'll handle it.
00:14:55Oh, by the way, have you ever heard of a person by the name of Frank Darnell?
00:14:59Yes, he's a defense lawyer of sorts.
00:15:00No, I don't think you like working for him, Ray.
00:15:07He doesn't have any style.
00:15:12Where's Channel 6?
00:15:14Can you open the door for us, please?
00:15:15Thanks, Ray.
00:15:16Parker.
00:15:17Parker.
00:15:17There he is.
00:15:18Walker.
00:15:18Walker.
00:15:19market.
00:15:19Hello.
00:15:48Hello.
00:15:49I believe I had an appointment with Mr. Darnell.
00:15:52Ray Alexander.
00:15:54Mm-hmm.
00:15:55He'll be right out. Want a coffee or something?
00:15:58Not just now.
00:15:59So, why don't you give some more thought to who might corroborate your story
00:16:04and then give me a call, okay?
00:16:08Hi. I'm Frank. Hi. Come on in.
00:16:11I'm here on behalf of Jeffrey Winslow.
00:16:20You mean the great Jeffrey Winslow.
00:16:24Mr. Winslow is representing Judge Hartman's estate.
00:16:28Oh, I'm sure he is.
00:16:30I'm sorry. If I sound a little bit envious, well, I am.
00:16:33I'm out in the street helping the little guy protect his constitutional rights
00:16:37while hothouse lawyers like Winslow are grabbing all the glory, not to mention the big money.
00:16:42Sit down.
00:16:44Listen, if you're really defending somebody who can't help themselves, you're lucky if you ever see a nickel for it.
00:16:50Well, this may be your lucky day, Counselor.
00:16:52Guess I'm here to find out if the judge had any outstanding gambling debts.
00:16:56We know about your Wednesday night poker game.
00:16:59Oh.
00:17:00Well, no. No. The judge always paid promptly.
00:17:03Well, if there's any openings, I sure would like to sit in.
00:17:07I'm sorry, Ray, but a lot of top lawyers and judges playing my game. There's a long waiting list.
00:17:12Too bad for me, huh?
00:17:13Mm-hmm.
00:17:15Sorry to have taken up your time, Counselor.
00:17:17That's okay. Thanks.
00:17:19Mm-hmm.
00:17:21Oh, I almost forgot.
00:17:23Where were you last night? Around, uh, 9 o'clock?
00:17:27Oh, you mean when the judge got shot?
00:17:29Yeah.
00:17:30What makes you think I'm gonna answer your question?
00:17:33Anyway, I understand the judge's girlfriend did the deed.
00:17:36Oh, I don't think so.
00:17:37Well, I don't know what you expect to find fishing around here.
00:17:39What possible motive would I have to kill the man?
00:17:41Even if he did owe me money, it's pretty hard to collect gambling debts from a dead man.
00:17:45You got a point there.
00:17:47Yeah.
00:17:48So why don't you go back and tell Winslow he's wasting your time and mine?
00:17:51Well, let's look at it this way, Counselor.
00:17:53When I first came in here, I didn't know there actually was a poker game, just that the judge had some money problems.
00:17:58So I figured if you do fish around, you just might catch something big.
00:18:03You know, on a second thought, I think I would like that coffee.
00:18:18Sure. I'll be right back.
00:18:20How would you like it?
00:18:21Black and sweet.
00:18:22Black and sweet.
00:18:34Listen, there's a P.I. nosing around.
00:18:36You better get together tonight.
00:18:38I'll suck into a room at the Cumberland at eight.
00:18:41Okay. Here we go. Black and sweet.
00:18:59Bye-bye.
00:19:00Our rhubarb pie is our most popular dessert. Just like homemade.
00:19:06I make a mean rhubarb pie myself, Philip.
00:19:10I bet you do.
00:19:12Uh-huh.
00:19:13Or maybe one of these days I'll get a chance to taste it.
00:19:18Maybe.
00:19:21Shoot me.
00:19:22My manager just came in.
00:19:24That boy is never on time.
00:19:26I've got to speak to him, will you see?
00:19:28I'll be right here.
00:19:31Ray.
00:19:32Yeah?
00:19:33That ghostly gourmet has got this place in an uproar.
00:19:37The cook is buying the most expensive vegetables he can find.
00:19:40Uncle Phil, who's this customer that's getting all your special attention?
00:19:43All of a sudden, no cut of meat is good enough for him.
00:19:46You didn't answer my question.
00:19:48Who is this person that's bringing all of this out in you?
00:19:52The lady's name is Adele Thompson.
00:19:54She's from Florida living with friends while she finds a place of her own.
00:19:58I met her in church.
00:20:00You ought to go to church yourself once in a while.
00:20:02Adele Thompson.
00:20:04Give her a prettier name in your life.
00:20:06I think I'll go over and maybe freshen up a cup of coffee.
00:20:11Ray and I have these guys cornered, see?
00:20:14Front and back.
00:20:15So if I go around behind, and when one of them has a drop on Ray, I...
00:20:20Hi, Ray.
00:20:21Hi.
00:20:22I know you'd be checking on those deliveries if Donahoe would just give you a moment's peace.
00:20:26You know, he's much, much too humble.
00:20:28We'd all be standing around doing nothing if it wasn't for him.
00:20:30Hm.
00:20:31Huh?
00:20:32See, look at the time.
00:20:33I'd better get on it, huh?
00:20:34Right.
00:20:35To be continued.
00:20:36Get out.
00:20:37Okay.
00:20:39You got my message?
00:20:40Yeah.
00:20:41Well?
00:20:42Well, I checked out the judge's car like you asked.
00:20:44And?
00:20:45Well, Ray, I actually developed my own theory about what happened that night.
00:20:48Mm-hmm.
00:20:49You see, the police found the judge's car near a bar parked about two blocks away from Christina Parker's apartment.
00:20:54So far, so good.
00:20:55Well, you know, it would make sense that he would park there if he didn't want anybody to know that he was going to see her, right?
00:20:59Mm-hmm.
00:21:00But what if the killer arranged to meet the judge at the bar?
00:21:03I think the sauce is a little too thick.
00:21:06Right.
00:21:08How do you know he did that?
00:21:10Well, I did something the police didn't do.
00:21:12I interviewed the bartender.
00:21:14And he said that the judge came in, he ordered a couple of drinks, and after a while his beeper went off.
00:21:19So he went to the paid phone, and then he left.
00:21:21Now, Ray, I think that the killer arranged to meet him at the bar.
00:21:25And then he called him on a car phone or something, lured him out into the street, chased him down, and shot him.
00:21:30What do you think?
00:21:32I think you're getting very good at this.
00:21:34Well, we're not out of the woods yet.
00:21:35Here's a telephone number, but I want you to get me an address on it, okay?
00:21:38Okay, Chris Cross Directory, right?
00:21:39Right.
00:21:40And right away, I knew Judge Hartman.
00:21:42I'm gonna find out who killed him.
00:21:43It's very important to me.
00:21:45All right, young man.
00:21:48Do you still have that camera that Santa Claus gave you last Christmas?
00:21:51What's the matter, Santa? Want it back?
00:21:53No, no, no, I want you to bring the camera and meet me in front of the Cumberland Hotel at 8 o'clock.
00:21:57And bring your sister.
00:21:58All right.
00:22:10Mr. Darnell's room, please.
00:22:12I'm in the lobby.
00:22:14It's okay.
00:22:15.
00:22:22.
00:22:32Oh, my God.
00:23:02Thanks for coming, Linda.
00:23:18Come on, we're gonna check in across the street.
00:23:21Why are we going there?
00:23:22Great view.
00:23:32Okay, boss, it's all yours.
00:23:40There.
00:23:41That's Frank Dunnell.
00:23:45Look who that lady is.
00:23:47I didn't know the Duvall brothers were out of the joint.
00:24:09When did that happen?
00:24:09I gotta hear what they're saying.
00:24:23The man with the suit says that he doesn't care who killed the judge.
00:24:28I have a position with my government that is, well, delicate.
00:24:34Just tell me whether we are proceeding or not.
00:24:37I assure you, nothing has changed.
00:24:40Bobby and Nick will take care of the first step tomorrow night.
00:24:44Unless I get my advance, you can proceed without me.
00:24:49That is my final word on the matter.
00:24:51What are you gonna take that crap from her for?
00:25:01Because we need her, that's why.
00:25:03The man in the suit says that without her, they don't have anything.
00:25:14Now, he's telling the man with the tattoos
00:25:17that there is something that he wants him to do tonight.

00:33:18well i followed your instructions and i went to the record room at the criminal
00:33:19courts building and you were right
00:33:21judge hartman was the judge of bobby and nick deville's trial
00:33:23and right after the jury convicted them judge hartman gave them probation
00:33:27wow he's a law and order judge and those two
00:33:29they've got a lot of priors
00:33:31this is getting interesting
00:33:33and guess who represented them and filed the motion
00:33:35frank darnell
00:33:37you got it
00:33:39you know i visited a courthouse and i got a look at the judge's check register
00:33:42he's got a lot of gambling debts that he paid each week for frank darnell
00:33:45and then about a month ago they stopped
00:33:47they must have paid off the rest of his gambling debts by letting those two punks walk
00:33:51well i also got an address from that phone number that you took from darnell's office
00:33:55yeah

00:38:31brie alexander
00:38:32Wow, what a beautiful office.
00:39:00I'm not much into French deco, but it seems to go well with your African art.
00:39:07But you lived in France for a while, didn't you?
00:39:09Yes, I did.
00:39:11As a matter of fact, you were married to a Frenchman.
00:39:14He died in a car accident, didn't he?
00:39:17Now, I wouldn't be much of investigated if I didn't do my homework, would I?
00:39:21Mr. Winslow said you wanted to ask me some questions about the Christina Parker case.
00:39:26Mr. Alexander?
00:39:27Yeah, yeah. Well, see, the judge and me, we were pretty close.
00:39:31And he said that if anything ever happened to him, I should come and talk to you.
00:39:37I can't imagine why. I didn't even know him.
00:39:39You didn't?
00:39:40No, I didn't.
00:39:42Oh, I'm embarrassed.
00:39:44Well, why would the judge say anything like that?
00:39:46Why don't you ask him?
00:39:48Yeah.
00:39:48That's funny.
00:39:52You know, I like that.
00:39:53I really do.
00:39:54Why didn't I ask him, huh?
00:39:57Anything else?
00:39:58Well, yeah.
00:39:59As a matter of fact, just so I don't go back to Winslow empty-handed, I've got to ask you,
00:40:06where were you Thursday night?
00:40:07The night Judge Hartman was killed.
00:40:09That's right.
00:40:10I was right here.
00:40:11And you have a whole bunch of employees who can swear to that, huh?
00:40:14Are you accusing me of something, Mr. Alexander?
00:40:17No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:40:18It's the kind of questions I have to ask you.
00:40:20You understand?
00:40:21I'm trying my best.
00:40:22Right.
00:40:24Sorry to have taken up so much of your time.
00:40:26No, not at all.
00:40:30By the way,
00:40:31didn't I see you last night in the elevator of the Cumberland Hotel?
00:40:39Anything's possible.
00:40:42You got that right.
00:40:47How does he know so much?
00:40:56Well, he's very good at what he does.
00:40:58That's why it was such a mistake to kill Hartman.
00:41:00And who was stupid enough to do that?
00:41:04I don't know.
00:41:05I don't know.
00:41:06Maybe one of my two boys decided to take care of some personal business.
00:41:09I don't know.
00:41:10Does that mean we should rule you out?
00:41:14Oh.
00:41:16No, I wouldn't rule anyone out.
00:41:17I want to get a look at what's inside that seat.
00:41:26Only if I'm around, okay?
00:41:29Whoa, you coming to some dough, man?
00:41:31You better believe it, baby.
00:41:33I'm in demand.
00:41:34Hot man.
00:41:35Right on.
00:41:36Thank you, miss.
00:41:38Good job, man.
00:41:39He's ten minutes late with the rent.
00:41:41Toss him.
00:41:44Patricia Hotel, can I help you?
00:41:47Can I say who's calling?
00:41:49Nick?
00:41:50It's a Mr. Darnell.
00:41:57Yeah, it's me, Nick.
00:42:00Yeah, we're ready tonight.
00:42:02All right.
00:42:03I like the way you straighten this place up.
00:42:09Well, you know what they say.
00:42:11Neatness counts.
00:42:13So, uh, what's your story?
00:42:17Well, I'm studying to be a paralegal.
00:42:19Ooh, not a good idea.
00:42:21Why not?
00:42:22Next thing you know, you're a lawyer.
00:42:25Well, what should I be doing instead?
00:42:27I don't know.
00:42:29You like kids?
00:42:30Sure.
00:42:31Well, be a teacher.
00:42:31Do something really worthwhile.
00:42:33What about you?
00:42:37Well, I thought maybe I'd become Conrad Hilton.
00:42:40You know, start off with a quaint little place like this
00:42:42and work my way up to a chain of hotels.
00:42:45Well, that is not a straight answer.
00:42:47Well, I don't need straight answers during work.
00:42:50But maybe over a little dinner,
00:42:52I could give you tons of straight answers.
00:42:55What time do you finish?
00:42:57Um, five o'clock.
00:42:59You can take off now.
00:43:00We got it covered.
00:43:01But I don't mind.
00:43:03I said you could take off.
00:43:08Hasta la vista.
00:43:08What's your problem?
00:43:13My problem, huh?
00:43:14It's our agreement.
00:43:16No more girls.
00:43:18Except you and me.
00:43:23Eh?
00:43:28Ray?
00:43:29Yeah?
00:43:29Bobby and Nick are up to something.
00:43:33They just got a call from Darnell.
00:43:34What is it?
00:43:35Well, I don't know.
00:43:36Whatever it is, it's happening tonight.
00:43:37All right, knock off the yakety-yak.
00:43:59You pay attention.
00:44:00I'm going to do this one time and one time only.
00:44:08Do you watch it?
00:44:09Wallets and jewelry in the bag.
00:44:23And desserts in the basement.
00:44:25All right, get your wallets out.
00:44:26Get on down there.
00:44:31Some girl catch some impressions there, will you?
00:44:32Come on.
00:44:33Come on.
00:44:33Give me a minute.
00:44:34Get on there.
00:44:35Hey, hey, easy.
00:44:36Easy.
00:44:37My goodness.
00:44:37What attitude?
00:44:38What is this attitude?
00:44:40How did we forget that?
00:44:41Well, girl, are we fun or what?
00:44:44That's right.
00:44:46No going on out.
00:44:47That's right.
00:44:48That's right.
00:44:49Come on.
00:44:50Keep your hands to yourself.
00:44:51Hm.
00:44:57Bless your heart.
00:44:58Frankie, we couldn't.
00:45:28I danced all night. Isn't that right, Nicky?
00:45:41By stealing everything in sight, they made it look as if they just grabbed the painting by chance along with everything else.
00:45:48It was still very risky.
00:45:50There's no way that anybody can tie you into this.
00:45:53I definitely got better legs than you, though.
00:45:58Oh, yeah, we're right.
00:46:00Hey, Sammy, what's up?
00:46:00What's up there?
00:46:01Hey, Sammy, come on now. Get on in there.
00:46:03Oh.
00:46:04There he is.
00:46:05Come on, come on.
00:46:06Come on, come on, come on.
00:46:07Deep, deep.
00:46:08Water, water.
00:46:10Hey, fellas, how you doing?
00:46:14You know, this ghostly gourmet dude, he's really cold.
00:46:16He used to see what he wrote in here about the water in the restaurant.
00:46:19The water.
00:46:21What the hell are you doing here?
00:46:23Well, he left so fast the other night, I didn't have a chance to say goodbye.
00:46:27How you doing, Nicky?
00:46:29Big brother still taking care of you?
00:46:31Do you make you put on those tattoos so you can be big and beautiful just like him?
00:46:35Take a hike.
00:46:37Oh, chill out, Bobby.
00:46:41Just wanted to see what time you guys would show up tonight.
00:46:44Said I wanted to talk to our old friend, Lieutenant Graham.
00:46:46See if anything interesting happened tonight.
00:46:49You stay out of my face while you still have a face.
00:46:51Oh, you shouldn't get so close to me, Bobby, unless you mean it.
00:46:59Yeah?
00:47:03Oh, Lord.
00:47:06What I found, somebody must have left that here.
00:47:12Hey, you disappear.
00:47:14Put it away, Bobby.
00:47:15Come on.
00:47:15That's enough, man.
00:47:16You really want to do me, don't you, Bobby?
00:47:19I think I'll just paint the walls with you.
00:47:21Yeah.
00:47:22Go ahead.
00:47:23Nobody will hear.
00:47:24Back off, Bobby.
00:47:25Come on.
00:47:27You know what I think?
00:47:29I think you killed the judge for putting that scuzzball brother yours in the joint where
00:47:33he got iced the way he deserved.
00:47:36Oh, listen to him, Bobby.
00:47:38Come on, man.
00:47:39This may be the only chance you're going to get.
00:47:41All you got to do is squeeze.
00:47:46Squeeze.
00:47:46Did I let you have a loaded weapon?
00:47:55My mama didn't raise no foes.
00:48:07Later.
00:48:07When this job's over, I'm going to kill him slowly.
00:48:20Go ahead, man.
00:48:21Try it.
00:48:22Show some character.
00:48:22Is that good or what?
00:48:32Is this hot?
00:48:34That's my special coffee there.
00:48:36It's got some chicory in it, some of my very secret ingredients.
00:48:39That's what makes it so very, very good.
00:48:42What makes you so good, Ray?
00:48:44I heard that there was a robbery last night and you were on the case.
00:48:49That's right.
00:48:51Can you account for your time?
00:48:53Any leads?
00:48:55Yeah, two hoods and drag.
00:48:57I'm going to try and find that fence first.
00:48:59Took a painting worth a half mil.
00:49:01It's going to be hard to move.
00:49:03Is this the invitation list for the dinner?
00:49:06Huh.
00:49:11You got something, Ray?
00:49:12Nope.
00:49:13Just the best coffee in town, Lieutenant.
00:49:15Mr. Thompson?
00:49:24Ray Alexander.
00:49:25I'm looking forward to meeting you.
00:49:26Oh, hello.
00:49:27Hi.
00:49:28May I sit down?
00:49:28Please.
00:49:29Please.
00:49:30Thanks.
00:49:32Phillip has told me so much about you.
00:49:35Oh, I'm sure he has.
00:49:37You waiting for him?
00:49:38Yes.
00:49:38I wanted to thank him for the wonderful dinner last night.
00:49:42Oh, I'm sure he'd be pleased to hear that.
00:49:43You know, what you think is very important to him.
00:49:46Well, he's a wonderful man.
00:49:48So sweet and sincere.
00:49:50That's a rare quality.
00:49:53Yes, it is.
00:49:54Ray.
00:49:55Yes.
00:49:56How long have you been working for Phillip?
00:49:59All my life, I think.
00:50:04Oh, there he is now.
00:50:06Uh, Miss Thompson, it's been very nice to meet you.
00:50:11Please.
00:50:11Call me Adele.
00:50:13All right.
00:50:14Adele, you take care.
00:50:22Sorry I'm late, but it was my first day at the gym,
00:50:25and my back is killing me.
00:50:27Your lady friend's waiting for you over there.
00:50:28Do you mind if I step out for a while?
00:50:31When did you start asking me?
00:50:32Since you're the new owner.
00:50:35Oh, uh, you better change this sign, too.
00:50:40Mrs. Durand is unavailable.
00:50:49You'd better call for an appointment.
00:50:50What do you know about that?
00:50:51She probably forgot.
00:50:52I'll just go and remind her.
00:50:54That's far enough.
00:50:55It's okay.
00:50:56I know the way.
00:50:59Hold it right there.
00:51:01All right, gentlemen.
00:51:03Let's be reasonable.
00:51:07What's going on here?
00:51:08It's entirely my fault.
00:51:09I had to see you, and they had to stop me.
00:51:18Thank you, doctor. I'll be in touch.
00:51:24We have to talk.
00:51:28What I have to say is private.
00:51:32I'll be fine.
00:51:33You know, Trouble has a strange way of following you around, doesn't it?
00:51:40Yesterday, we were talking about a murder,
00:51:43and today, you're witnessing an armed robbery.
00:51:47And what does it all mean, Mr. Alexander?
00:51:53Did you happen to notice a tattoo on the back of one of the suspect's hands?
00:51:57They appeared to be wearing gloves.
00:51:59Surgical gloves, right.
00:52:00But one of the kitchen hubs said that they were able to distinguish a tattoo
00:52:04on the back of one of the suspect's hands.
00:52:07Does that jog your memory?
00:52:09Should it?
00:52:11You know, if I was a suspicious man,
00:52:13I'd begin to think that this was an inside job.
00:52:23It's a good thing I'm not a suspicious man.
00:52:25If you were in my country, you would get much worse.
00:52:28People in your country get in trouble.
00:52:30They disappear, don't they?
00:52:32Time for you to go, Mr. Alexander.
00:52:35You know, I'm gonna miss you.
00:52:37He just left my office.
00:52:55He knows all about the robbery.
00:52:58Where is he getting his information?
00:53:01Have you ever heard of a woman by the name of Alana Durand?
00:53:04No.
00:53:05What does she have to do with this?
00:53:06Well, for one thing, she helped set up the robbery last night.
00:53:09She was even a guest at dinner.
00:53:11She told Frank Darnell that she wanted her money up front,
00:53:14and now she's got it.
00:53:16What do the police think?
00:53:17Well, I'm not gonna tell the police anything
00:53:18until they find out what scheme they're up to.
00:53:20It's the only way we can prove who killed Patrick.
00:53:23Why would they want to kill him?
00:53:24I don't know.
00:53:24Can I help you?
00:53:44Deliver it from Miss Parker.
00:53:47Do you mind opening that out here?
00:53:49Open it?
00:53:50Yeah.
00:53:50You have a problem with that?
00:53:51No.
00:53:52No.
00:53:53Oh.
00:54:05Open it.
00:54:13Oh, I'll take care of that.
00:54:15Yes, thank you.
00:54:19Will you take care of the gentleman, please?
00:54:23This is for you.
00:54:27Oh, thank you so much.
00:54:31Yes, I saw it in the video.
00:54:32I thought it would look good.
00:54:33It's beautiful.
00:54:34Isn't it?
00:54:34Well, why don't you try it on?
00:54:38See if it fits.
00:54:39Okay.
00:54:40Excuse me.
00:54:40Excuse me.
00:54:40Excuse me.
00:54:41Excuse me.
00:54:45How hung up are you?
00:54:50Well, I can't lie to you, Ray.
00:54:51Yeah, you can.
00:54:52No, I won't lie to you.
00:54:55I've liked her for a long time.
00:54:57She and Patrick haven't been making love for quite a while.
00:55:01And why shouldn't I have feelings for her?
00:55:04Yeah, well, how long has it been since Claire died?
00:55:07Well, it's almost six years now.
00:55:09Don't you think I'm entitled?
00:55:10Sure you are.
00:55:10Sure you are.
00:55:11After the case, man.
00:55:14What about her age?
00:55:17Yeah.
00:55:18She is a little bit older than I would like, but I think I can adjust.
00:55:35Where are they?
00:55:36Inside.
00:55:37Any problem?
00:55:38No.
00:55:41What do you need, man?
00:55:43I could use some work, man.
00:55:45I had a problem at my job.
00:55:47The guy I was working for, that real attitude, you know?
00:55:50We got nothing.
00:55:52How about some painting?
00:55:53I'm good at painting.
00:55:55You see, you got paint all over your hands.
00:55:57I just thought that maybe you could use some help.
00:55:59That's all.
00:56:00Listen, just make sure you can swing the rent, all right?
00:56:02I got you covered, amigo.
00:56:05Okay.
00:56:05Listen, can you keep an eye on things?
00:56:11We got to run a couple of errands.
00:56:12Sure.
00:56:12All right?
00:56:13Let's go.
00:56:14I'll see you later.
00:56:16All right.
00:56:16All right.
00:56:17All right.
00:56:35Oh, my God.
00:57:05Leave her alone. You can buy yourself 12 other chicks when this job's over.
00:57:21Hey, back off. I like her, all right?
00:57:26You know, she could be the mother of my children.
00:57:30Come on.
00:57:35Come on.
00:58:05Come on.
00:58:07Let's go.
00:58:37Let's go.
00:59:07Let's go.
00:59:37Why don't you take the last run?
00:59:51Why am I in?
00:59:53It's better where you have more time to fall in love.
00:59:55You mean there's no listing anywhere for a company called Intermedic?
01:00:05We couldn't find anything.
01:00:06Well, my new friend Alana, she said she was seeing this nervous doctor at the consulate,
01:00:11but she didn't give me his name.
01:00:13What could they be up to?
01:00:15Stealing drugs.
01:00:16No, I don't think so.
01:00:18I couldn't get a look inside those containers, but they were cold, you know, like refrigerated.
01:00:23Look, you better go and get Donna out of there.
01:00:24I don't think that's safe.
01:00:26Right.
01:00:33Uncle Phil.
01:00:34Hmm?
01:00:36What's all this?
01:00:37Well, it's about time we made the place more inviting, and since you're so rarely here,
01:00:42I took advantage of the opportunity to dress the place up a little.
01:00:46She's coming for lunch today, isn't she?
01:00:48So what if she is?
01:00:49Look, Uncle Phil, if you're going to have a relationship with this woman,
01:00:52why don't you be honest with her?
01:00:54Great.
01:00:56She's a wealthy widow, and I want her to get to like me before I, you know, tell her all about myself.
01:01:04I'm scared a woman like her won't have anything to do with a broke-down old ex-con like me.
01:01:11There isn't a woman born on this planet who could resist a sly fox like yourself, and that's the truth.
01:01:16Oh, Ray, come on, man.
01:01:17Don't jive me.
01:01:19There she is now.
01:01:21Now's the time to get straight with her.
01:01:25Words cannot say what a good-looking woman that is.
01:01:29Yeah.
01:01:32Psst, Ray.
01:01:35You see that woman over there?
01:01:36The redhead?
01:01:37What, you think she's the food critic?
01:01:39This is her third time in here in two days.
01:01:42I try to talk to her.
01:01:43She's very cagey.
01:01:44Follow her.
01:01:45Follow her.
01:01:49The trick is in the kind of rice you get.
01:02:00Make sure you get the basmati.
01:02:03Would you agree?
01:02:04Well, what do you think?
01:02:11You think we should put this on the menu?
01:02:13Okay.
01:02:13Yeah.
01:02:14All right.
01:02:14I'm sorry about what happened yesterday.
01:02:31I had some bad news from home, and I was very upset.
01:02:34It's all right.
01:02:35I get upset myself sometimes.
01:02:37I know you were only doing your job, and I respect that.
01:02:41I've even come to enjoy you.
01:02:43You don't even know me.
01:02:46I know that you were convicted for murdering a police officer, and then later acquitted.
01:02:51I know that most of your staff here are ex-convicts.
01:02:56I know that you take care of a young man by the name of Julian Garcia, whose father is still in prison.
01:03:02Jeffrey Wenslow got you out of prison, and you work exclusively for him, but only when you need the money.
01:03:12You're not married and are considered a catch by a number of women.
01:03:17And your crab cakes are legendary.
01:03:20Mm-hmm.
01:03:21You seem to have done your homework, too.
01:03:23When I'm interested.
01:03:25Are you really?
01:03:27Are you available?
01:03:29To do what?
01:03:31Huh?
01:03:31Huh?
01:03:32I'm the chairman of the Pan-African Health Organization.
01:03:37I'm making a number of public appearances, and I want you to be in charge of my personal security.
01:03:46If nothing, I'd like to do more.
01:03:49I hope this doesn't conflict with your current case.
01:03:52You will be very well paid.
01:03:54Oh, really?
01:03:55How much?
01:03:56It would be for at least a month, so I'd say $10,000.
01:04:00Well, I was thinking more along the lines of $25, or so.
01:04:11How soon can you begin?
01:04:13I already have.
01:04:19Call me.
01:04:20Don't do that.
01:04:21I'm going to be upset.
01:04:36Whoops.
01:04:38Oh, stick with me, too.
01:04:40Stick with me.
01:04:41Now, don't be upset.
01:04:43I'm not upset.
01:04:44Yeah, you're upset.
01:04:45You know, if you keep telling me that I'm upset, I really am going to be upset.
01:04:51Here.
01:04:52That's the background on your lady.
01:04:54Oh, right.
01:04:57She's quite a girl.
01:04:58Oh, she sure is.
01:05:00Just like everybody else in Zawanda, she had to serve in the military, which means she knows how to handle a gun.
01:05:05Hey, look at this.
01:05:06She even made colonel.
01:05:08Hey!
01:05:09Hey!

01:12:59when did you just say he came back from that run with that van about 2 30. they may be on their way
01:13:05one now
01:13:18Oh, my God.
01:13:48Oh, my God.
01:14:18How are you instead of the Tyrean?
01:14:20All right, stop, stop, stop.
01:14:21I've got something for you.
01:14:48There's a hell of a scheme you guys got going there.
01:15:15It's a hell of a scheme.
01:15:18This is stale plasma, isn't it?
01:15:21No good.
01:15:24So you make a deal with Dr. Fullman to commission your phony company to dispose of all this stale plasma.
01:15:31Except, you know, you've got new labels on here.
01:15:39You know what I think?
01:15:40I think you're trying to sell this stale plasma to some third world country.
01:15:46It's fresh, new plasma.
01:15:49But Atlanta Duran's health organization is distributorship, huh?
01:15:53It's a health plan.
01:15:54You're going to make a lot of money.
01:15:55But Judge Hartman, he wasn't going for it, was he?
01:15:58He didn't want to take advantage of all those people.
01:16:01So he backed out and one of you killed him.
01:16:04How am I doing so far?
01:16:07Hmm?
01:16:34I don't want to hurt you, Bobby.
01:16:58Only one way out, son.
01:16:59Stay put.
01:17:22Oh, come on.
01:17:23You let him go.
01:17:28Come on, please.
01:17:28Let me go.
01:17:29I'll give you anything you want.
01:17:31There's only one thing I really want.
01:17:33You name it.
01:17:34The name of that critic is going to review my restaurant next week.
01:17:42There's another one inside.
01:17:43He's a paramedic.
01:17:45You play your cards right, lieutenant.
01:17:46There could be a promotion in this for you.
01:17:48I may even recommend you for one myself.
01:17:50There's another one inside.
01:18:03There's another one inside.
01:18:05There's another one inside.
01:18:15Don't come back.
01:18:39Yeah, I'll miss you too.
01:18:40I don't want to be disturbed.
01:18:54I figured it had to be you.
01:18:57You popped the judge, didn't you?
01:18:59When I heard that those two creeps were using that gun as an insurance policy,
01:19:03I figured that had to be the murder weapon.
01:19:07They were blackmailing you, weren't they?
01:19:09You're the only one with any cash.
01:19:11Donnell had to rob that house in order to give you an advance.
01:19:15How did you get in here?
01:19:17If I was you, I'd start worrying about how you was going to get out.
01:19:21You have no right to be here.
01:19:23I have your accomplice outside.
01:19:26There's the murder weapon, Lieutenant.
01:19:27I don't know anything about that.
01:19:29The young man that was in here brought an end with him.
01:19:32If, in fact, that is the murder weapon, you won't find my fingerprints on it.
01:19:36Well, not on the outside, but on the inside, on the clip.
01:19:39Am I right?
01:19:40I want to speak to my lawyer.
01:19:43I bet you do.
01:19:44You'll be coming with us, won't you?
01:19:49By the way, when you hired me for all that money,
01:19:52you never did tell me what it was you wanted me to do.
01:19:55Oh, my, my, I wouldn't begin to know how to do that.
01:20:08Hey, where you been?
01:20:17Winslow's about to have a stroke.
01:20:19I can't go through with this, Ray.
01:20:20Your what?
01:20:21Look, no matter what Nick has done, he saved my life.
01:20:25Oh, no, no, we need your testimony to link that cigar box with that safe.
01:20:28I know, but as soon as he sees me, he's going to know that I betrayed him.
01:20:32I see, and that goes against your principles, huh?
01:20:35Yes, it does.
01:20:35Well, that's very high-minded, but come here, let me talk to you.
01:20:41And we're going to go past the part about your friend being dirty,
01:20:43and we're going to talk about you just doing your job.
01:20:46Now, wait a minute.
01:20:46You're the one who insists on being an investigator, right?
01:20:49Well, this is part of it.
01:20:50This is the honest con.
01:20:51This is the lie you use to find the truth.
01:20:55This is the price of admission.
01:21:14Hey.
01:21:14Look, I want you to go in that courtroom right now
01:21:20and do the job that you swore that you would do.
01:21:23You want to do that?
01:21:25Yeah.
01:21:27Are you sure?
01:21:29Yes.
01:21:31Go for it.
01:21:31All right, all right, all right.
01:21:42Just back off there a little bit.
01:21:45Yes, as I predicted would happen at the very beginning of these proceedings,
01:21:49Miss Parker has been proven innocent.
01:21:50Her only crime was trying to protect the reputation of an old and dear friend
01:21:57from these libelous assumptions of their purely platonic relationship.
01:22:03My investigation uncovered not only the actual murderer,
01:22:08but a massive criminal conspiracy with international implications,
01:22:11which you can all read about in the series I'll be doing for this sentinel.
01:22:16Thank you very much.
01:22:16Thank you very much.
01:22:16Let's go home.
01:22:25Anybody back in the scene, Ray?
01:22:36Hmm?
01:22:37Ray!
01:22:38Ray!
01:22:39You looking for me, Uncle Phil?
01:22:40Ray.
01:22:40On the sign on the window says Ray's,
01:22:44the customers expect to see some Ray once in a while.
01:22:47Uncle Phil.
01:22:48Uncle Phil what?
01:22:49I brought you something.
01:22:50What?
01:22:51Second chance.
01:22:54Adele.
01:22:55Adele, I know I haven't been exactly honest with you,
01:22:58but I haven't been exactly this...
01:22:59Adele, please be quiet.
01:23:01I know that you meant well.
01:23:03The reason I left is because I haven't exactly been honest with you either.
01:23:08What?
01:23:09I know.
01:23:10I gave the impression that I'm a well-to-do widow,
01:23:15but the truth is, since my husband passed away,
01:23:18I've been working as a bookkeeper,
01:23:20and I'm retiring to live on my pension.
01:23:23Well, don't sweat it, Adele.
01:23:26Whatever happens, we both will have a place to eat.
01:23:37Hey, what a surprise.
01:23:40Wait a minute.
01:23:41You have a reservation.
01:23:43I heard that you had that woman arrested.
01:23:46I told you it was just strictly professional.
01:23:49Ray.
01:23:51Do I owe you an apology?
01:23:53You know, I think we owe each other an apology.
01:23:56See, how about that?
01:23:57How about that?
01:24:02Bay magazine?
01:24:04Your advance copy.
01:24:06Marvin, I never would have guessed that you were the ghostly gourmet.
01:24:09Did I say I was the ghostly gourmet?
01:24:11Well, I'll tell you, if this review is positive, then the secret is safe with me.
01:24:15Be comfortable.
01:24:17So, what do you think?
01:24:20Honey, this place isn't that good.
01:24:23Oh, I don't know.
01:24:25Hey, Jeffrey.
01:24:27What happened to your beard?
01:24:29Oh, she thought I would look younger without it.
01:24:33Yeah.
01:24:33All right.
01:24:37What's the commotion around here?
01:24:39Huh?
01:24:42I guess it must be me.
01:24:43Johnny, I didn't know you were a star cook.
01:24:46Well, I figured my barbecue sauce might spice up the menu a little bit.
01:24:49When I asked you to do me a favor, this is not what I meant.
01:24:52All right, y'all, listen up.
01:24:55Time for the main course of your dinner.
01:24:57Ladies and gentlemen, the great Johnny Mathis.
01:25:13You make me feel so young.
01:25:17You make me feel so spring has sprung.
01:25:20And every time I see you grin, I'm such a happy individual.
01:25:29The moment that you speak, I want to go play hide and seek.
01:25:36I want to go and bounce the moon just like a toy balloon.
01:25:42You and I are just like a couple of tots running across the meadow, picking up lots of forget-me-nots.
01:25:58Cause you make me feel so young.
01:26:03You make me feel there are songs to be sung, bells to be rung, and a wonderful fling to be flung.
01:26:12And even when I'm old and gray, I want to feel the way I do today.
01:26:20Cause you make me feel so young.
01:26:26Cause you make me feel so young.
