she had finished her story.
Then we left
on what we hoped would be
a rendezvous with Eddie Casales.
That evening we caught Mimi Du Jour's
show at the Club Flamingo.
We hoped a talk with her
would be half as revealing as her act.
Yeah?
- Mimi Du Jour?
- Yeah.
I'm Lieutenant Drebin.
This is Captain Hocken, Police Squad.
Is this some kind of bust?
Yes, it's very impressive,
but we'd just like to ask a few questions.
Well, come on in.
Thank you. We'll try not to take up
too much of your time.
- Do you mind if I change?
- Not at all.
We understand you're acquainted
with a certain Eddie Casales.
- Yeah. Why do you ask?
- Just wanna ask him some questions.
He's not in any kind of trouble, is he?
Well, we're not sure.
Do you know where we can find him?
I have no idea.
All right, let's get moving.
You're on stage in five minutes.
There's a misunderstanding.
We're police officers.
Police officers?
Five minutes.
Did you by any chance,
have any occasion to know
where Eddie was last night?
Last night? Why, yes, he was with me.
We went to the movies.
- Oh, yeah.
- Yeah.
On the Waterfront.
Come on. There are no movie theatres
on the waterfront.
- Mimi, you ready?
- Eddie!
Hey, creeps, beat it!
I'm taking the lady home.
They're cops, Eddie.
Eddie, we'd like to ask you
a few questions.
Two minutes and I'm not kidding.
You a policeman, too?
- No, I'm an ex-con.
- Ex-con.
Two minutes.
What were you doing
on the waterfront last night, Eddie?
I wasn't on the waterfront.
I was at the movies.
That's not what she says.
All right, can it.
I know why you guys are here.
You're trying to pin
that court bombing on me.
We were getting around to that.
Yeah, well, a lot of guys
could have done it.
Boy, you cops
never give an ex-con a break.
I try to put my past behind me,
but every time I turn around,
well, there's somebody there
telling me who I am or where I've been.
It's like you're branded for life.
We're sorry about that, Eddie.
Don't plan on leaving town.
We might want to talk to you again.
Didn't you tell them I was at the movies?
Sure, just like you said, Eddie.
I'd never cross you up.
Yeah. Good girl.
So you see, Katie,
fish have gills to extract
oxygen from water,
but air-breathing species have lungs
which are equipped only to accept
oxygen in its natural state.
And that's why most mammals
must live on land.
- Wow, that's neat!
- Hi, Frank.
Would you like to keep him, Katie?
Can I?
- Gee, thanks, Mr Olson.
- Why don't you run along now, Katie,
and next week I'll show you why women
can't play professional football.
Okay. Bye, Mr Olson.
- Any progress, Ted?
- Some. Look at this.
We've been sorting through
the fragments left by the bombing.
And we've been able to reconstruct
the part of the courtroom
where the explosion occurred.
- What's the bomb made from?
- I've analysed the fragments.
We found traces
of seven common household chemicals.
When mixed together in the proper
ratios, they can be highly unstable.
What you're saying is that anyone
with a high school knowledge of
chemistry could have made the bomb.
Right.
It's a fairly crude explosive,
not the work of a professional.
- Hey, watch it!
- Hey. Frank, take it easy.
I'm sorry, Ted.
Doctor says that too much caffeine
makes me edgy.
Why don't you try some of this?
It's decaffeinated coffee.
Decaffeinated?
Well, I'll give it a try.
- Ted.
- Hi, Frank
You were right about that coffee.
I sure feel better now.
Well, accidents will happen.
...kind of cold
in that section of the country.
Locally, it is 68 degrees
under partly cloudy skies...
No reports of traffic congestion
on any of the major freeways
coming into midtown.
Disperse! Please disperse!
There's nothing for you to see here.
Please go home. Keep moving, please.
Keep moving.
- Glad you're here, Frank.
- What do you got, Ed?
Victim's name was John Symington.
He was a trial lawyer.
And this'll
