0:00:38.385,0:00:42.446
He gave me this ticket for blocking[br]an aisle during the rush hour.

0:00:43.056,0:00:45.581
I don't understand. I was in the slow lane.

0:00:46.093,0:00:48.857
I just stopped a moment[br]at the condiment shelf

0:00:48.929,0:00:51.625
where the store's having[br]a "get acquainted" sale

0:00:51.732,0:00:54.633
on Low Calorie Calories.

0:00:57.204,0:01:01.004
Tonight's play is not unrelated[br]to this milieu.

0:01:01.241,0:01:04.301
It is called Lamb to the Slaughter.

0:01:04.411,0:01:09.178
But before we see it, the store[br]has asked that I direct your attention

0:01:09.483,0:01:12.043
to their very best bargain.

0:02:04.938,0:02:06.462
Hello, love.

0:02:12.446,0:02:15.540
Darling, is something the matter?

0:02:16.616,0:02:18.880
Are they badgering you[br]about that Manetti case again?

0:02:18.952,0:02:21.113
Is that what's the trouble?

0:02:23.056,0:02:25.786
Well, try not to think about it for a while.

0:02:25.859,0:02:29.488
I hate to see you getting all tired[br]and worried like this.

0:02:30.564,0:02:33.931
Darling, why don't you take off[br]your coat and then

0:02:34.000,0:02:37.163
you can sit yourself down[br]comfortably and relax?

0:02:37.437,0:02:40.167
We certainly don't have to go out to dinner[br]if you don't want to.

0:02:40.307,0:02:43.538
I'll call Molly and tell her[br]you're much too tired.

0:02:43.610,0:02:45.544
Would you like me to do that?

0:02:45.779,0:02:47.872
She'll understand. I know she will.

0:02:47.948,0:02:51.247
And I'll cook you some nice supper[br]right here at home.

0:02:51.551,0:02:53.712
There's plenty of meat[br]in the freezer.

0:02:53.787,0:02:55.345
We'll have a nice roast.

0:02:55.422,0:02:58.118
It'll just take a little longer to cook,[br]that's all.

0:02:58.191,0:02:59.681
While it's in the oven,

0:02:59.759,0:03:03.058
I'll slip out to the corner[br]and get some vegetables.

0:03:05.565,0:03:07.726
Oh, before I forget I must tell you,

0:03:07.801,0:03:09.826
old Mrs. Keating gave me[br]the ring test today.

0:03:09.903,0:03:12.565
You know, where they have[br]a ring on a bit of string

0:03:12.639,0:03:14.732
and dangle it over your tummy.

0:03:14.808,0:03:17.003
And guess what? It's a boy.

0:03:17.077,0:03:19.204
There's absolutely no doubt about it,[br]she says.

0:03:19.279,0:03:21.543
She's never been wrong yet[br]in her whole life.

0:03:21.615,0:03:23.412
Isn't that exciting?

0:03:28.154,0:03:29.712
Where are you going?

0:03:30.924,0:03:33.324
Well, to the garage,[br]to get the meat out of the freezer.

0:03:33.393,0:03:35.554
Sit down. Sit down a minute.

0:03:35.629,0:03:38.462
Patrick, what is all this?

0:03:40.767,0:03:43.668
What's wrong, darling?[br]Please tell me.

0:03:43.737,0:03:45.830
This is going to come as a bit[br]of shock to you.

0:03:45.906,0:03:48.136
I hope you won't blame me[br]too much.

0:03:49.109,0:03:52.272
I'd never blame you, darling,[br]you know that.

0:03:52.345,0:03:54.472
The truth is, Mary,

0:03:55.048,0:03:56.811
I want to leave you.

0:03:59.419,0:04:01.512
You understand me, don't you?

0:04:01.588,0:04:03.351
I want to leave you.

0:04:05.792,0:04:07.555
You don't mean that.

0:04:07.994,0:04:09.586
Yes, I do mean it.

0:04:09.663,0:04:12.131
And what's more, I want a divorce.

0:04:12.899,0:04:15.367
There's someone else I want to marry.

0:04:15.936,0:04:17.961
That really is all there is to it.

0:04:18.038,0:04:20.233
I love her and she loves me.

0:04:21.975,0:04:25.308
Now, we got to be sensible about it all.

0:04:25.912,0:04:27.573
Calm and sensible.

0:04:28.915,0:04:30.974
I'll arrange for the divorce.

0:04:31.051,0:04:33.849
Naturally you can have the baby[br]when it comes.

0:04:36.323,0:04:37.813
You'll have some money.

0:04:37.891,0:04:40.086
Sorry, I can't give you a lot

0:04:40.961,0:04:43.054
but you'll get along all right.

0:04:46.166,0:04:47.963
I'll get you your supper.

0:04:48.568,0:04:49.967
Get what?

0:04:50.036,0:04:53.437
Oh yes, yes,[br]you must have your supper, darling.

0:04:53.506,0:04:56.805
I wouldn't ever let you go[br]without your supper.

0:04:56.876,0:05:00.141
You'll feel better[br]when you've had something to eat.

0:05:57.003,0:05:59.597
What are you doing?[br]I'm leaving.

0:06:00.907,0:06:02.602
Patrick, you can't.

0:06:02.676,0:06:05.543
You can't go. You can't. You can't.

0:06:05.612,0:06:06.806
No?

0:06:06.880,0:06:08.404
Patrick, I won't let you.

0:06:08.481,0:06:10.813
I won't! I won't! I won't!

0:06:11.017,0:06:13.850
No sense getting[br]hysterical about this whole thing.

0:06:13.920,0:06:15.649
Patrick, I mean it!

0:06:18.658,0:06:20.250
Try and stop me.

0:09:29.115,0:09:30.946
Hello, Molly?

0:09:31.284,0:09:36.119
Listen, darling, Patrick's just come home[br]and he's utterly exhausted, poor thing.

0:09:36.389,0:09:38.880
Yeah, he's had a terribly rough day.

0:09:38.958,0:09:43.054
So I was wondering,[br]would you mind terribly[br]if we didn't come over tonight?

0:09:43.863,0:09:45.262
I knew you wouldn't.

0:09:45.331,0:09:47.026
You're an angel, Molly.

0:09:48.001,0:09:49.901
No, no, it's nothing like that.

0:09:49.969,0:09:52.597
He's just been working too hard,[br]that's all.

0:09:52.672,0:09:55.470
Well, maybe we'll see you[br]over the weekend.

0:09:55.775,0:09:57.868
Yeah, that would be lovely.

0:09:58.177,0:09:59.906
Yes, goodbye, dear.

0:09:59.979,0:10:01.378
Bye.

0:12:04.170,0:12:05.694
Hello, Operator?

0:12:05.772,0:12:08.502
Operator, quick,[br]give me the police. Quickly!

0:12:12.045,0:12:14.172
You've got to help us,[br]Mrs. Maloney.

0:12:14.814,0:12:18.306
You think you can[br]pull yourself together now[br]and talk to me a little?

0:12:18.484,0:12:19.849
Yes, I'll try.

0:12:19.919,0:12:21.546
I'll do my best.

0:12:22.288,0:12:23.812
Now tell me.

0:12:23.890,0:12:26.984
Is this exactly what the room[br]looked like when you walked In?

0:12:27.060,0:12:28.459
Yes.

0:12:28.528,0:12:30.393
You haven't touched a thing?

0:12:30.463,0:12:32.488
Well, all except Patrick.

0:12:33.032,0:12:37.469
I came in the front door[br]and I saw him lying there[br]like that and I...

0:12:38.771,0:12:40.363
You did what when you saw him?

0:12:40.440,0:12:42.499
Well, I tried to talk to him.

0:12:42.575,0:12:44.372
Then I saw that he was dead

0:12:44.444,0:12:46.071
and I ran to the phone.

0:12:46.145,0:12:47.737
I see.

0:12:48.815,0:12:52.080
Now, what time was it when you went out?[br]Can you tell us that?

0:12:52.151,0:12:54.881
Oh, I think it was[br]about 20 minutes ago.

0:12:55.555,0:12:57.352
It's 6:14 now.

0:12:57.423,0:12:59.891
You think it was around 5 to 6?

0:13:00.526,0:13:02.721
Yes, I think so.

0:13:05.098,0:13:06.827
Print man and photographer[br]are coming in now.

0:13:06.899,0:13:07.888
Oh, I want to see them.

0:13:07.967,0:13:10.458
And we've got a man out front[br]and one at the back.[br]Good.

0:13:10.536,0:13:13.471
All right, now listen, fellows.[br]Let's have a real thorough job here.

0:13:13.539,0:13:15.200
Take all the time you need.[br]It's the Chief.

0:13:15.274,0:13:16.673
Mike, you tell them what we want.

0:13:16.742,0:13:19.210
And get some pictures[br]right away before[br]the doc comes along

0:13:19.278,0:13:21.508
and starts shoving things about.[br]Okay, get going.

0:13:21.581,0:13:25.677
Mrs. Maloney, do you usually[br]go out shopping so late?

0:13:26.586,0:13:29.146
Excuse me, but I have[br]to ask you these questions.

0:13:29.222,0:13:30.917
Oh, I understand.

0:13:31.324,0:13:33.224
Well, no, I don't.

0:13:33.292,0:13:36.523
As a matter of fact,[br]we were going out for dinner[br]tonight with some friends

0:13:36.596,0:13:38.996
but Patrick seemed[br]so terribly tired

0:13:39.065,0:13:41.693
that I just called up[br]and cancelled.

0:13:41.767,0:13:43.064
Now, who did you call?

0:13:43.136,0:13:47.038
Molly, Molly Vandenoord.[br]They live on South Street.

0:13:49.642,0:13:51.269
And when your husband[br]came in,

0:13:51.344,0:13:54.404
did it seem to you[br]that there might have been[br]something on his mind?

0:13:54.480,0:13:56.710
Do you think he was worried[br]about anything?

0:13:56.782,0:13:59.148
No, no, not especially.

0:13:59.218,0:14:01.379
Just seemed terribly tired.

0:14:01.521,0:14:02.715
I see.

0:14:02.788,0:14:05.120
And when he first came in I...

0:14:05.191,0:14:06.954
Oh, excuse me.

0:14:12.932,0:14:15.332
Who did it?[br]No idea.

0:14:15.401,0:14:17.869
See what you can find out,[br]will you, Doc?

0:14:18.504,0:14:19.801
Is that his wife?

0:14:19.872,0:14:20.998
Yes.

0:14:21.073,0:14:22.973
You'd better take her[br]in the next room.

0:14:23.042,0:14:24.509
Okay.

0:14:26.879,0:14:29.040
Let's go into another room[br]for a while, shall we?

0:14:29.115,0:14:32.141
You'll be more comfortable there[br]and then we can talk easier, too.

0:14:32.218,0:14:34.880
I don't want to.[br]I want to stay here.

0:14:34.954,0:14:38.082
Please let me stay here. I'll be all right.

0:14:51.704,0:14:54.138
You got something[br]cooking in the kitchen here?

0:14:54.640,0:14:57.108
Yes, yes,[br]that was his supper.

0:14:57.310,0:14:59.369
But I thought you didn't have[br]any supper in the house.

0:14:59.445,0:15:01.072
Wasn't that why you went out?

0:15:01.147,0:15:03.274
Well, yes,[br]but I had to get some vegetables.

0:15:03.349,0:15:05.317
I had plenty of meat.

0:15:05.384,0:15:08.319
I always keep plenty of meat in the freezer.

0:15:13.859,0:15:15.292
Well?

0:15:16.162,0:15:18.926
It looks like a severely[br]fractured base to me.

0:15:18.998,0:15:21.296
Just one blow,[br]right on the back of the head.

0:15:21.367,0:15:23.267
What with?[br]Can you make a guess?

0:15:23.336,0:15:25.429
I can up to a point, yes.

0:15:25.738,0:15:28.798
It's bound to be something heavy,[br]that's obvious.

0:15:29.542,0:15:31.032
But it isn't sharp.

0:15:31.410,0:15:33.708
At least, I don't think[br]there are any sharp edges on it.

0:15:33.779,0:15:35.747
No? Why do you say that?

0:15:36.082,0:15:37.276
Well, look for yourself.

0:15:37.350,0:15:39.978
The skin on the scalp[br]isn't even broken.

0:15:40.052,0:15:42.646
It isn't a hammer,[br]for instance.

0:15:42.722,0:15:45.885
More like a large club[br]of some sort.

0:15:46.058,0:15:47.548
A club?

0:15:47.627,0:15:50.289
Yes, something[br]shaped like a club anyway.

0:15:50.363,0:15:52.354
Smooth and rounded at the end.

0:15:52.431,0:15:54.262
That's my guess.

0:15:59.538,0:16:01.062
See you later, Doc.

0:16:01.140,0:16:02.698
Let me know as soon[br]as you're through at the lab.

0:16:02.775,0:16:04.242
I'll do that.

0:16:19.225,0:16:20.920
Is this glass dusted?

0:16:20.993,0:16:22.927
Yeah.

0:16:29.201,0:16:34.332
Mrs. Maloney, you said you didn't[br]notice anything particularly unusual[br]about your husband's behavior

0:16:34.407,0:16:35.999
when he came in this evening?

0:16:36.175,0:16:38.006
No, not especially.

0:16:38.277,0:16:40.609
He just seemed terribly tired.

0:16:41.113,0:16:42.546
I see he had a drink.

0:16:42.615,0:16:46.312
Yes, he always had a drink[br]when he came home from work.

0:16:46.385,0:16:48.615
He usually took soda,[br]didn't he?

0:16:48.821,0:16:50.345
Yes. I guess so.

0:16:50.423,0:16:51.890
And ice of course.

0:16:51.957,0:16:53.447
Mmm-hmm.

0:16:53.526,0:16:55.153
This evening[br]he took it straight.

0:16:55.227,0:16:56.854
And with his coat on, right?

0:16:56.929,0:16:59.397
Yes, I suppose he did.

0:17:02.535,0:17:05.265
Now think hard, Mrs. Maloney.[br]Please.

0:17:07.839,0:17:10.240
He comes in the door.

0:17:10.476,0:17:12.842
So what's the first thing[br]he does after that?

0:17:13.444,0:17:14.606
He kissed me.

0:17:14.680,0:17:17.547
Now wait, and please excuse me[br]for asking you these questions,

0:17:17.616,0:17:21.175
but I'm simply trying to find out[br]whether or not there was something[br]on your husband's mind

0:17:21.252,0:17:22.880
when he came home.

0:17:23.320,0:17:25.483
You're quite sure he kissed you?

0:17:25.723,0:17:27.659
It wasn't you that kissed him?

0:17:28.594,0:17:29.891
He kissed me.

0:17:29.962,0:17:31.190
Okay.

0:17:31.597,0:17:33.656
Now he walks[br]straight over there

0:17:33.733,0:17:36.759
and pours himself[br]a shot of neat whiskey.[br]Am I right?

0:17:36.936,0:17:38.733
Mmm-hmm. Well...

0:17:38.971,0:17:42.372
He doesn't usually have a drink[br]before he takes his coat off,[br]does he?

0:17:42.441,0:17:44.306
No, I guess not.

0:17:45.811,0:17:49.406
You saw all this and you still[br]didn't think he was a worried man?

0:17:49.482,0:17:52.508
I told you.[br]I just thought he was very tired.

0:17:52.852,0:17:56.948
You know what I think, Mrs. Maloney?[br]I think he was desperately worried.

0:17:57.022,0:18:01.652
And if we can only find out[br]why this was, then perhaps we'll[br]be able to get somewhere.

0:18:01.727,0:18:04.093
Well, I wish I could help you more.

0:18:04.397,0:18:06.888
The other thing[br]I want to find is the weapon.

0:18:08.534,0:18:09.831
Hey, Mike.

0:18:14.206,0:18:17.835
Now look, I want you[br]to go outside right away[br]and comb every inch of the garden.

0:18:17.910,0:18:19.707
Have those fellows out there help you.

0:18:19.779,0:18:21.576
See what you can find. Get some flashlights.

0:18:21.647,0:18:23.114
I'll check the rest of the house.

0:18:23.182,0:18:24.547
Right.

0:18:25.351,0:18:26.409
Mrs. Maloney.

0:18:26.485,0:18:27.509
Yes?

0:18:27.586,0:18:32.285
You know, somehow[br]I don't believe that this[br]was a premeditated murder.

0:18:32.358,0:18:34.724
Nor was it a professional job.

0:18:35.227,0:18:36.717
I think it was a quarrel.

0:18:36.796,0:18:39.026
And then someone lost their temper.

0:18:39.098,0:18:40.360
And then...

0:18:40.433,0:18:44.301
Well, perhaps this person,[br]whoever it was, simply[br]grabbed hold of some object

0:18:44.370,0:18:47.703
that happened to be[br]close at hand and swung[br]at your husband.

0:18:47.773,0:18:49.206
The point is this.

0:18:49.508,0:18:50.668
If I'm right,

0:18:50.743,0:18:54.873
then the weapon they used was probably[br]something that was already in this house.

0:18:55.181,0:18:58.150
Now then, here's where you[br]may be able to help us out.

0:18:58.217,0:18:59.844
First of all,

0:18:59.919,0:19:02.615
can you tell me if there's anything[br]missing from this room

0:19:02.688,0:19:04.588
that could have[br]been used as a weapon?

0:19:04.657,0:19:06.124
Take your time.

0:19:06.192,0:19:09.355
Well, I'm not sure[br]what sort of thing you mean.

0:19:09.428,0:19:12.659
Well, something like[br]a club, for instance.

0:19:13.866,0:19:15.197
A club?

0:19:15.267,0:19:17.735
You mean like a baseball bat?

0:19:17.803,0:19:19.634
Yes! Exactly!

0:19:20.039,0:19:23.008
No there isn't any[br]baseball bat in the house.

0:19:23.075,0:19:25.566
All right, how about a door stopper

0:19:25.644,0:19:28.943
or a heavy metal vase or...[br]Well, anything you like.

0:19:29.014,0:19:31.141
You understand what I mean,[br]don't you?

0:19:31.217,0:19:33.082
Well, yes, I think so.

0:19:33.219,0:19:34.516
It's just...

0:19:34.587,0:19:37.556
Well, it's so hard to remember[br]everything that's in the house.

0:19:37.623,0:19:42.458
Well, perhaps you wouldn't mind[br]coming along with me while I[br]go over the rooms one by one.

0:19:45.130,0:19:46.961
Are you nearly through now?

0:19:47.032,0:19:48.431
Uh-huh.

0:19:48.801,0:19:51.099
Say, what time have you got?

0:19:51.470,0:19:52.960
10:15.

0:19:53.038,0:19:54.528
Thanks.[br]Mrs. Maloney.

0:19:54.607,0:19:55.733
Yes?

0:19:55.808,0:19:57.400
You're quite sure[br]you wouldn't want someone

0:19:57.476,0:19:59.671
to take you over[br]to Mrs. Vandenoord's[br]house tonight?

0:19:59.745,0:20:01.440
Oh, no, thank you.

0:20:01.514,0:20:03.243
I just couldn't go anywhere[br]at the moment.

0:20:03.315,0:20:05.146
Then you ought to[br]go to bed and lie down.

0:20:05.217,0:20:08.186
Either Mike or I[br]will be around all night,[br]so you don't have to worry.

0:20:08.254,0:20:10.313
It's all right. I may do that.

0:20:18.564,0:20:20.395
There's something fishy[br]about this case.

0:20:20.466,0:20:21.660
Go on.

0:20:21.867,0:20:24.529
I don't believe there ever[br]was a fight in this room.

0:20:24.603,0:20:26.366
I think someone purposely[br]fixed it up afterwards

0:20:26.438,0:20:28.133
to make it look[br]as though there'd been one.

0:20:28.207,0:20:29.196
You do?

0:20:29.275,0:20:30.799
I'll tell you why.

0:20:30.876,0:20:33.902
It isn't humanly possible[br]to club a man hard[br]on the back of the head

0:20:33.979,0:20:35.776
right here,[br]in the middle of a fight.

0:20:35.848,0:20:37.611
Not unless there were two people.

0:20:37.683,0:20:38.843
That's right.

0:20:38.918,0:20:41.045
But I don't think[br]there were two people.

0:20:41.120,0:20:43.418
Or unless he got[br]knocked out during the fight

0:20:43.489,0:20:46.424
and the other fellow hit him[br]while he was lying on the floor.

0:20:46.492,0:20:48.255
Nobody knocked him out first.

0:20:48.327,0:20:53.321
There isn't a single bruise[br]or scratch on his entire body.[br]Only where he was hit.

0:20:53.799,0:20:55.266
And another thing.

0:20:55.334,0:20:56.961
He was carrying a gun,[br]wasn't he?

0:20:57.036,0:20:58.196
Sure was.

0:20:58.270,0:20:59.828
Then why didn't he draw it?

0:20:59.905,0:21:01.270
You know why?

0:21:01.340,0:21:04.434
Because he didn't even realize[br]he was being threatened.

0:21:04.743,0:21:07.871
Well, in that case the killer[br]was probably someone[br]he knew pretty well.

0:21:07.947,0:21:09.414
Exactly.

0:21:10.649,0:21:12.514
Do you think[br]it could've been a woman?

0:21:12.585,0:21:14.416
Why do you say that?

0:21:14.486,0:21:15.475
Well,

0:21:15.554,0:21:19.320
you know as well as I do[br]our friend here used to fool[br]around a bit now and again.

0:21:19.391,0:21:21.985
Yeah, I see what you mean.

0:21:23.462,0:21:26.556
Well, anyway, we got to find that weapon.

0:21:26.865,0:21:29.390
Didn't anyone think to turn off that oven?

0:21:33.739,0:21:37.106
Whatever it is,[br]it'll sure as heck[br]be ruined by now.

0:21:40.813,0:21:42.337
Hey, that looks all right.

0:21:42.414,0:21:43.847
It sure does.

0:21:44.850,0:21:47.444
That's mighty peculiar,[br]isn't it?

0:21:47.519,0:21:49.817
I'd have thought[br]it would've been burned[br]to a crisp by now.

0:21:49.888,0:21:51.185
Yeah, me too.

0:21:51.256,0:21:53.884
Well, maybe it takes longer[br]according to how big it is.

0:21:53.959,0:21:55.324
Well, this is[br]a big one all right.

0:21:55.394,0:21:56.918
You're darn right it's big.

0:21:57.529,0:22:00.225
Jack, would you turn that off[br]for me, please?

0:22:00.466,0:22:02.661
It's all right. It's not spoiled.

0:22:02.735,0:22:04.134
I can see that.

0:22:04.203,0:22:07.570
What I really came in for[br]was to ask if you'd like[br]to have a cup of coffee.

0:22:07.640,0:22:09.972
You must be terribly tired by now,[br]both of you.

0:22:10.609,0:22:12.543
I'm sorry I didn't think of it sooner.

0:22:12.611,0:22:14.340
Well, that's isn't necessary, Ma'am.

0:22:14.413,0:22:16.176
You mustn't bother about us.

0:22:16.248,0:22:17.909
Well, Patrick,[br]would never forgive me

0:22:17.983,0:22:20.042
if I didn't look after you properly.

0:22:20.119,0:22:21.381
He always used to tell me

0:22:21.453,0:22:22.886
how grateful he was[br]in the old days

0:22:22.955,0:22:25.116
when somebody would[br]offer him a cup of coffee

0:22:25.190,0:22:27.021
when he couldn't get home for a meal.

0:22:27.092,0:22:30.425
He said that's the least you can do[br]when somebody's trying to help you out.

0:22:30.496,0:22:33.226
Well, it certainly is good of you.[br]It sure is.

0:22:36.502,0:22:37.799
I'll tell you what,

0:22:37.870,0:22:40.703
why don't you help yourselves[br]to some of this too.

0:22:40.773,0:22:42.502
No, we couldn't do that,[br]Mrs. Maloney.

0:22:42.574,0:22:43.598
Wouldn't dream of it.

0:22:43.676,0:22:46.042
We'll be sending out[br]for a couple of sandwiches[br]in a little while.

0:22:46.111,0:22:48.909
Oh, no. Now, please.[br]Eat this instead.

0:22:48.981,0:22:51.142
I'll only have to throw it[br]out if you don't.

0:22:51.216,0:22:52.740
But what about you, ma'am?

0:22:52.818,0:22:54.479
Me?

0:22:54.553,0:22:57.545
Oh, no,[br]I couldn't touch a thing,[br]believe me.

0:22:57.623,0:22:59.113
Give some to the others too.

0:22:59.191,0:23:01.455
They must be absolutely[br]famished by this time,

0:23:01.527,0:23:04.690
particularly those two[br]standing out there in the cold.

0:23:04.863,0:23:08.321
Ask them all in, why don't you,[br]and give them a nice hot meal.

0:23:08.701,0:23:11.431
It's very good meat, I promise you that.

0:23:15.641,0:23:16.938
Boy, this is great.

0:23:17.009,0:23:18.772
Best piece of meat[br]I've had in months.

0:23:18.844,0:23:20.471
She said to finish it,[br]didn't she, Jack?

0:23:20.546,0:23:21.740
She did.

0:23:21.814,0:23:25.682
I'd like to have a piece of this brown,[br]crispy stuff left on the end here.

0:23:25.751,0:23:27.844
Suppose it'll be all right[br]to take this bone home to my dog?

0:23:27.920,0:23:30.354
Sure, she said she never[br]wants to see it again.

0:23:30.422,0:23:31.753
She was cooking it for her old man,[br]that's why.

0:23:31.824,0:23:33.792
He missed a real nice meal.

0:23:34.093,0:23:36.561
Not so loud, fellows.[br]Take it easy.

0:23:37.362,0:23:39.193
You got any dope[br]on this case yet, Jack?

0:23:39.264,0:23:40.663
Not a lot.

0:23:40.733,0:23:42.633
No one's found the weapon.

0:23:42.701,0:23:45.261
Doc says it's probably[br]some sort of a club.

0:23:45.337,0:23:47.965
You mean like[br]a shillelagh or something?

0:23:48.040,0:23:51.441
Something heavy, anyway.[br]Must have weighed[br]about eight or nine pounds.

0:23:51.510,0:23:54.479
Whoever did it, they're not[br]going to carry a thing[br]like that around

0:23:54.546,0:23:55.740
longer than they need.

0:23:55.814,0:23:58.112
Personally I think[br]it's here on the premises.

0:24:00.819,0:24:04.721
Well, for all we know[br]it might be right under[br]our very noses.

0:24:17.236,0:24:20.296
Well, that's the way[br]the ol' meatball bounces.

0:24:20.372,0:24:24.331
As for Mary Maloney[br]she would have gone scot free

0:24:24.409,0:24:28.470
if she hadn't tried to do in[br]her second husband the same way.

0:24:28.547,0:24:31.345
Unfortunately, he was the forgetful type

0:24:31.416,0:24:34.579
and had forgotten to plug in the freezer.

0:24:34.920,0:24:37.582
The meat was as soft as jelly.

0:24:37.723,0:24:43.127
Speaking of plugs[br]that is precisely what our sponsor[br]wants to do for his product,

0:24:43.195,0:24:46.028
after which I'll wheel back.

0:24:50.936,0:24:53.097
And now, ladies and gentlemen,

0:24:53.172,0:24:55.265
those of us who work in television

0:24:55.340,0:24:58.434
have a technical term[br]for this part of the program.

0:24:58.510,0:25:01.104
We call it the end.

0:25:01.580,0:25:03.275
Next week we shall[br]be back with another story...

0:25:05.284,0:25:08.549
I'm gonna go, now,[br]I can't risk another ticket.[br]Good night.
