for that boy's welfare.
l sought you out, Emily.
l didn't have to come here.
You're not important enough to buy off.
Then why try?
Nobody wants another mistake.
Do you know these gentlemen -
Hurwitz, Sackadorf, Bistrong, Teperson?
Don't stay too long in a hot tub, Emily.
You could catch a cold.
l disapprove of snooping, Miss Crane.
l beg your pardon.
You show an unseemly
interest in that house.
- l didn't mean to...
- What one means is irrelevant.
What matters is what one does.
l believe that house is connected
with something terrible.
Does it concern you?
No, not exactly...
Then you have no reason to pry.
l do not know
who lives in that house, nor do l care.
However, it seems apparent
they are no longer in residence.
The shades are now always pulled down.
No windows are ever open,
even though the days are mild.
Garbage is not put out.
The house is almost certainly empty.
But how can you really tell?
l should imagine a rock
through a window would do the trick.
(Gasps)
(Footsteps)
(Screams)
Are you all right?
Yeah, l'm fine. l just like lying here.
Don't move.
All right.
That's not where l need it.
- He pulled a dirty trick.
- l know. l teach dirty tricks.
Why didn't you just shoot him?
l don't have a gun.
- What?
- l don't have a gun.
They're too heavy to wear.
Oh, that's better.
You put 'em on your belt right here,
you end up walkin' around like this.
What are you doing here, anyway?
You bellyached to the cops about
this house. l thought l'd take a look.
- Sorry about the other day.
- Hm?
l didn't mean to get personal.
l was personal, too.
Yeah, but you're not sorry.
Did you hear something?
You OK?
Well, to tell you the truth,
l do feel a little shaky.
l think l should go home.
Blood sugar.
lt drops when you get scared.
You need something to eat.
No. No, really, l should just go home.
l'll stay till you get upstairs.
Come to the window and wave.
You've got a great act, Cochran.
- Good night.
- Want to give me that book you lifted?
- This is the one you took?
- Yes.
- Emily Dickinson.
- That's it.
Here.
l'd like to talk to you, Miss Crane.
l've been waiting for you to show up.
Here. This is the book that l took.
lt was owned by somebody
named Laura Moulton.
She wrote her name and the date, 1851.
lt was published in 1904,
so she couldn't have written it in 1851.
What does it mean? l can't figure it out.
(Driver) You comin', lady?
l know it has something to do
with the murder.
So find out. Do something useful.
(Sports commentator)
..drops too low. Ball two
Fine crowd on hand here today.
Well over 6,000...
Thanks.
We're delighted to see
the youngsters in the ballpark.
lt's a fast ball! 2 and 1 the count.
- lnk's modern.
- What?
The ink. lt's modern.
Lab says it was written within the year.
- Look at that. The Duke went 4 for 4.
- What's so special about 1851?
3 balls, 1 strike. Here's the pitch...
Poe died in 1849. l looked it up.
Poe's the shortstop for the Tigers, right?
- lt's a fly ball to right centre...
- What do you think?
He'll win the batting title going away.
- Who?
- Duke Snider.
No. He won't beat Stan " The Man" Musial.
- ..36 RBls...
- Suppose it isn't the year? Suppose...
Suppose it's the month, day
and then year? 1-8-51. January 8, 1951.
- lt's been and gone.
- Right.
Look at the handwriting.
lt's not American.
Americans put the month first.
Europeans put the day.
lt could also mean August 1, 1951.
- That's tomorrow.
- Right. Maybe she's on to something.
You're a dumb hick.
Why else did they want us
to lean on her?
- You know why?
- l know two things.
The Dodgers will win
and what l learned in the navy -
keep your mouth shut, your bowels open
and never volunteer.
- There was a murder.
- A police matter.
She'd have been next if l hadn't been there.
- Make a wager?
- We're already betting on the Pennant.
Batting crown.
You got Musial. l'll take Snider.
- You call me dumb?
-
