Sally Decker.
Frank, when will people learn
that crime doesn't pay?
Well, I suppose if they do learn,
we'll be out of a job.
Be sure to tune in next week
for another exciting story
from the files of Police Squad!Police Squad! In colour.
Starring Leslie Nielsen.
Also starring Alan North.
And Rex Hamilton as Abraham Lincoln.
Tonight's speciaI guest star,
William Shatner.
Hey, you!
Tonight's episode, The Guilty Alibi.
- It's only you, Ralph. How's it going?
- Great!
The Superior Court of the County
of Fordham is now in session.
The honourable
J. Oliver Maxwell presiding.
You may be seated.
The court will come to order.
There will be a five minute recess.
My name is Lieutenant Frank Drebin,
Police Squad,
a speciaI unit of the police department.
I was having my car washed when I
received an urgent call from downtown.
There had been a bombing
at the courthouse.
I got to headquarters as fast as I could.
- Hi, Ed.
- Frank.
What do you got for me?
A sizeable explosion
over at the Criminal Courts building.
- Coffee, Frank?
- Sure.
Yeah, that poor judge
never stood a chance.
Anyone else hurt?
No, some minor injuries,
but nothing serious.
- A doughnut, Frank?
- Yeah, thanks.
Sounds like the judge was a target.
What do we got on him?
Well, his name was J. Oliver Maxwell.
He'd been on the bench for 25 years.
Had a reputation for harsh sentences.
- A revenge killing?
- Well, that was my thought, Frank.
I've got Marcus and Drake
going through the records
of recently released prisoners.
Turns out that seven of those guys
were sent up by Judge Maxwell himself.
Here, I've made out a list for you.
Monroe, Lynch,
Barker, Fanning, Smith,
Brookhouse, Casales.
Wait a minute. That name rings a bell.
Eddie Casales?
Casals, Casales...
Casales...
Say, wasn't that the guy
that was convicted of bombing
- about six or seven years ago?
- Right.
And I remember him
as being a pretty tough customer.
Yeah. Al?
You got that file on Eddie Casales?
- Got it right here.
- Thanks.
And Al, get yourself a haircut.
You look ridiculous.
Sorry, Captain,
I was just trying something different.
Here we are.
Casales, age 40, sentenced 12 years,
Statesville Prison for two counts,
wilful destruction of property,
possession of explosives
without a permit.
No previous felony record.
Paroled last month
after serving seven years.
Well, according to this, Frank,
he was a model prisoner.
Motive and M.O. fit.
Yeah, well, it's as good a place
as any to start.
Here's his last known address.
Evidently his ex-wife still lives there.
- Let's check out this Eddie Casales.
- Right.
Our file on Casales pointed out the fact
that he had been divorced
while in prison.
His wife buried herself in charity work
to ease the pain.
Yes?
- Are you Lana Casales?
- Yes.
Lieutenant Drebin,
Captain Hocken, Police Squad.
- May we ask you some questions?
- Certainly. Come on in.
- Thank you.
- I hope you'll excuse the mess.
I've been packing up a few things
for charity.
- May I take your coat, Captain?
- Thank you.
I suppose this has something
to do with Eddie?
I'm afraid so.
It's about
the courthouse bombing, isn't it?
Well, it's in all the papers.
- Let me take that.
- Thank you.
Have you seen or heard from Eddie
since he's been released?
We haven't spoken much
since the divorce.
- It's just as well.
- Do you know where Eddie is right now?
You might try the Club Flamingo.
He hangs out there
with some chorus girl,
a floozy named Mimi Du Jour.
Du Jour. Is she French?
That's just her stage name.
Her real name is Mimi Coffee.
- Coffee?
- No, thank you.
It seemed Lana welcomed this
opportunity to pour her heart out.
At first she and Eddie
had a good marriage,
regular jobs, close friends, a dentist.
She thought it would last forever.
Slowly he began to change.
When Eddie's criminaI activities
became known,
they were run from town
like common pygmies.
We waited untiI
