00:00Once upon a time, there were three little girls who went to the police academy.
00:06Two in Los Angeles.
00:13The other in San Francisco.
00:16And they were each assigned very hazardous duties.
00:22But I took them away from all that.
00:25And now they work for me.
00:27My name is Charlie.
01:30First day at the police academy.
01:52First day, four assassins.
02:00♪
02:30♪
03:00♪
03:10♪
03:20♪
03:30Well, well, well.
03:34File on Joan Freeman.
03:38Changed her name from Joan Cabelli when she got here.
03:411943, that's 35 years ago.
03:44Let's get on with it.
03:46♪
03:54Why don't we just take the file?
03:56Too obvious. We've got to burn it all.
03:58Come on, let's move it before the locals get back from the funeral.
04:01♪
04:06Now, angels, the woman who was killed in the auto accident in Cain's Corners,
04:10her name was Joan Freeman.
04:12When I knew her, her name was Joan Cabelli.
04:15And how long ago was that?
04:1735 years ago.
04:19And you're sure that Joan Freeman and Joan Cabelli are the same person?
04:23Oh, yes.
04:25Yes, even though it was 35 years ago, I am sure.
04:29You see,
04:31we were to have been married and something happened.
04:34Something happened?
04:36As our wedding approached,
04:38I sensed a change in her.
04:41You mean she wanted to end the relationship?
04:44Oh, no. No, she loved me.
04:47But she wouldn't marry me.
04:49Did she say why?
04:51No, she wouldn't.
04:53When I was young, very proud and stubborn,
04:58I walked out.
05:00Then after a few weeks, I...
05:03I came back to look for her.
05:06Mr. Stamler,
05:08how did this newspaper come to your attention?
05:12I mean, a man in your position
05:15that doesn't seem to be a subscriber
05:18to a weekly newspaper in a little farm town
05:21that none of us have ever even heard about.
05:23Mr. Stamler subscribes to a number of clipping services.
05:26Since he's been ill,
05:28it's his way of studying marketing, general trends in the economy.
05:31I see.
05:33Mr. Stamler,
05:35may I ask why you're interested in having us investigate this
05:38if you hadn't even seen her in so many years?
05:41In that article, they write that Joan Freeman
05:44lived in Cain's Corners for 35 years.
05:47But there's no mention of her ever having been married
05:51or widowed.
05:53Yet, they do say that she was survived
05:56by a son, William,
05:5835 years old.
06:01I want you to find him.
06:05Mr. Stamler, you control companies
06:08and corporations all over the world.
06:10You must have hundreds of very capable investigators
06:13working for you.
06:15Why did you come to us?
06:17I have reason to believe
06:21that William,
06:24mentioned in that article,
06:27may be my son.
06:30According to what I've read about you through the years, Mr. Stamler,
06:33you've never married.
06:35Yes.
06:37And so you can imagine what kind of effect it would have on the corporation
06:40if they were suddenly to discover that the Stamler fortunes had an heir?
06:44And that's why you came for outside help.
06:47Yes.
06:49But I expect you all to be very discreet.
06:52Angels, I suggest you begin
06:55by flying immediately to Cain's Corners.
07:08And you say the fire started in the records room, huh?
07:11Mm-hmm. It started there and burned everything inside
07:13before they got it out.
07:16Sheriff figures, whoever did it,
07:18broke in the front door while everyone was at the funeral.
07:21So, uh, all the records were destroyed.
07:23That fire got everything.
07:26What was it you were interested in?
07:29A woman named Joan Freeman.
07:33Well, I can tell you that.
07:36Well, I can tell you one thing.
07:38Joan Freeman was a fine, God-fearing Christian woman.
07:42Do you have any idea how the fire might have started?
07:46Sheriff figures somebody set off a fire bomb.
07:49Well, does he have any idea who might have done that
07:52or why they might have wanted to do that?
07:54How do you figure a thing like this?
08:06Do you have any luck?
08:08No. It's crazy.
08:10What do you mean?
08:12Well, there is nothing in this house
08:14that tells anything about who lived there.
08:16Most of the drawers are empty.
08:18Everything is precisely in its place.
08:20There's no natural clutter.
08:22I don't know.
08:24I don't know.
08:26I don't know.
08:28I don't know.
08:30I don't know.
08:32I don't know.
08:34There's one of those big Bible stands
08:36in the middle of the living room.
08:38The pages have been turned plenty,
08:40but there are no magazines, newspapers, any kind of papers.
08:43It's like Joan Freeman was hiding from the outside world.
08:46It's as if she knew we were coming and she hid it all away.
08:49What is that?
09:05Hey, that's the guy we saw at the airport.
09:08He came in on that Brockhurst Industries jet from New York.
09:11He was asking for Joan Freeman's address.
09:14Yeah. Too bad he found it.
09:17Sam! What are you doing?
09:19What do you think?
09:21It will never get off the ground.
09:23No, but I think it's going to help us get this case off the ground.
09:26What do you mean?
09:28Well, I found this and all this stuff
09:30and what I guess is a secret composition.
09:32And what I guess is a secret compartment.
09:34I got a feeling any kid this into airplanes is still into airplanes.
09:38Maybe she...
09:43Help you?
09:45Who are you people? What are you doing here?
09:47We're just looking around.
09:49This is private property.
09:51This is a court order.
09:53It says we have a right to be here.
09:57Now that you know about us, how about you?
10:00What are those?
10:02Like you said, private property.
10:04Not yours. Or yours.
10:07I'll come back when it's less crowded.
10:10Well, who would he be?
10:12I don't know.
10:14Not one of your Cain's Corners locals.
10:16Not very likely.
10:18You know, what we have here is one coincidence
10:20followed by another coincidence
10:22and I think that makes neither one of them a coincidence.
10:24What are you getting at?
10:26Well, now the hall of records at the courthouse
10:28was set on fire four days ago, right?
10:30No way to get information on Joan Freeman.
10:32All right, we come to the house, you look around,
10:34and there's a definite, if not a deliberate,
10:36lack of information here, too.
10:58He's doing it.
11:00Anybody get a license number?
11:02It looked like an airport rental car, just like ours.
11:04Yeah, like his, too.
11:06Hold it. Markle. Joseph Markle.
11:08It's a New York driver's license.
11:10There seems to be an awful lot of out-of-town visitors
11:12coming to Cain's Corners all of a sudden.
11:14Yeah, and all of them coming to this house.
11:16But why?
11:18Maybe if we find out more about Joseph Markle,
11:20we'll get some of the answers.
11:22Yeah.
11:28Get in touch with Charlie?
11:30Yeah.
11:32The dead man's full name was Joseph Lawrence Markle.
11:34He's a resident of New York City.
11:36He works for the Brockhurst Industries.
11:38Employed as what?
11:40Charlie couldn't find that out,
11:42but he thinks the Brockhurst Industries
11:44is underworld connected.
11:46Does this mean a trip to New York?
11:48I guess we have to split up.
11:50Why don't you go to New York,
11:52and we'll see where this leads us.
11:54Why don't you start at the airport?
11:56It looks like he obviously loved airplanes
11:58when he was a kid.
12:00Billy Freeman?
12:02Know him?
12:04I taught him how to fly.
12:06He started when he turned 16.
12:08Kind of a quiet kid.
12:10Loner.
12:12Until he got around airplanes.
12:14Then he really came to life.
12:16Natural pilot.
12:18He soloed in eight hours.
12:20How long has it been since you've seen him?
12:22About six days.
12:24Six days?
12:26Yeah, he flew back for his mother's funeral,
12:28and then he left again.
12:30I don't suppose you know where he went?
12:32Sure. Reno, Nevada.
12:34He had a show to do there.
12:36What kind of a show?
12:38He's a stunt pilot.
12:40Thank you very much for your help.
12:42You see him, give him my best.
12:44Sure will do that. Bye-bye.
12:48I guess Kelly and I should go to Reno.
12:50Looks like, huh?
12:52Charlie says our client wants a progress report,
12:54so let's take the charter back to L.A.
12:56I'll tend to the client,
12:58and you make your reservations for New York and Reno.
13:00Okay.
13:02Bye-bye.
13:20So, Miss Duncan is flying to New York,
13:24while Miss Garrett and Miss Monroe
13:26are on their way to Reno, Nevada.
13:28To find my son.
13:30Your dream man is in Reno, Mr. Stamler,
13:32but we haven't even begun to prove
13:34that he is your son.
13:36Well, I'd like to indulge in some wishful thinking.
13:38You see, I've been a pragmatist all my life, but...
13:40So, for once in your life, Jonathan,
13:42dream a little.
13:46You see, I've won most of the battles of my life,
13:48but I'd trade some of those victories
13:50just to win this one.
13:52Well, perhaps you will, Mr. Stamler.
13:56Ladies and gentlemen,
13:58welcome to New York's Kennedy Airport.
14:00Please keep your seatbelts fast
14:02until we arrive at the terminal.
14:28Thank you.
14:50Hello.
14:52Mr. Phelan.
14:54Who is this?
14:56I don't know anyone by that name.
14:58How did you get this number?
15:00I found it among
15:02Mr. Markle's personal effects.
15:06Mr. Phelan, I think perhaps
15:08we should talk.
15:10I could be at your office
15:12in half an hour.
15:14Very well.
15:16I'm on the way.
15:26Thank you.
15:42It's open.
15:44The office seems to be empty.
15:46Come on in.
15:48Thank you.
15:50Shut the door.
15:52Yes, sir.
15:56Where is it?
15:58It, sir?
16:00You are either carrying a gun
16:02or a very large lipstick. Where is it?
16:04Yes, sir. I have a permit.
16:06Not in this office, you don't.
16:08Well, I'm a licensed private detective.
16:10Oh, from where?
16:12Los Angeles.
16:18Sit down.
16:20Thank you.
16:22How do you know Markle is dead?
16:24Well, excuse me, sir,
16:26but how do you know?
16:28He worked for this company.
16:30Did you send him to California?
16:32Oh, no.
16:34The board of directors sent him.
16:36I had nothing to do with it.
16:38Now, what were you doing
16:40in Cain's Corners?
16:42Oh, well, I was sent to find
16:44Joan Freeman's son.
16:46Oh?
16:48Who sent you to find him?
16:50Well, I'm sorry, sir,
16:52I'm not in the habit
16:54of being refused answers to questions I've asked.
16:56I'm not in the habit of betraying
16:58the confidence of a client.
17:00We seem to have reached
17:02an impasse.
17:04Maybe we could trade information.
17:06Possibly.
17:08What have you got to offer?
17:10What have you got?
17:12You've got spirit.
17:14I'll give you that.
17:16Now that she's dead,
17:18I don't suppose it matters, I can tell you.
17:20The woman that called herself Joan Freeman
17:22was his daughter.
17:24Excuse me, sir, but
17:26who is he?
17:28Lewis Cabelli, founder of Brockhurst Industries.
17:30When I knew her,
17:32her name was Joan Cabelli.
17:34Uh-huh.
17:36Lewis Cabelli
17:38was very ill for a long time, bedridden,
17:40died of cancer
17:42about two years ago.
17:44You read the papers.
17:46Yes.
17:48He was a very wealthy man,
17:50and yet his daughter lived a very modest existence.
17:52She and her father
17:54split years ago.
17:56I see.
17:58One of Miss Freeman's, excuse me,
18:00Miss Cabelli's friends
18:02called her a God-fearing Christian woman.
18:04Now, could the split
18:06with her father and all of this
18:08have come because of his
18:10underworld affiliation?
18:12This company's
18:14underworld affiliations, Miss Duncan,
18:16have never been proven.
18:18Oh, I quite understand that, sir,
18:20and I do understand the need for the alarm
18:22at the door and your need for the
18:24gun you probably have in your desk.
18:26Mm-hmm.
18:28Well, now that I've given you something,
18:30what do you give me?
18:32Well,
18:34based on what you just told me,
18:36I think I'm beginning
18:38to come up with a sort of a theory.
18:40Would you like to hear it?
18:42I'm listening.
18:44Well,
18:46your position here is very good, sir.
18:48I mean, let's face it,
18:50you do run the place.
18:52The board of directors put me in charge, yes.
18:54Yes, sir, the same board of directors
18:56that sent Mr. Markle to California,
18:58and had he come back with information
19:00concerning Lewis Cabelli's only blood relative,
19:02well, your position might not have been
19:04so good, would it, sir?
19:06It's your theory. You tell me.
19:08I mean, if William Freeman
19:10had not shared his mother's
19:12distaste for the good life,
19:14he could be sitting in that chair
19:16instead of you, couldn't he, sir?
19:20I think it's time for you to leave,
19:22Miss Duncan. If you'd like, sir.
19:24Uh,
19:26do you mind?
19:32Thank you very much.
19:34I'll just
19:36put it right back in there and, uh,
19:40wish you a good day.
19:44Good day, sir.
19:56On the last lap,
19:58this qualifying heat, Joe Brooks is
20:00leading by a narrow margin with
20:0210 EVs closing fast, but not fast enough
20:04as Brooks wins it by a
20:06not very comfortable margin.
20:08Now, we'll be proceeding to the next
20:10qualifying heat shortly. Meanwhile, ladies
20:12and gentlemen, let me direct your attention
20:14skyward again for one of our very
20:16special attractions. Bill Freeman
20:18in his Stearman biplane is
20:20performing for your pleasure. Now, Bill
20:22is one of the top aerobatic pilots in the
20:24nation, and we're privileged to have him
20:26with us today. Bill Freeman
20:28brings back a warm touch of
20:30nostalgia, remembrances of the days
20:32when flying was truly an outlet for man's
20:34need of freedom and self-expression.
20:36In a time of instrumentation
20:38and jet-age, speed is perhaps wise
20:40for us in aviation to occasionally glance
20:42back and look at where we've been
20:44and then recall a period of aviation
20:46that perhaps passed all too
20:48quickly. Ladies and gentlemen,
20:50William Freeman and his Stearman
20:52biplane in his own private
20:54salute to aviation history.
20:57He's incredible!
20:59How are you approaching him?
21:01Cleverly, I hope.
21:03Here you go. Thank you.
21:09Listen, we better call Bree in five minutes.
21:26Three, two, one.
21:28Hello.
21:29Brie.
21:30Hi.
21:31I thought we'd missed ya.
21:34There's the key.
21:55Hello.
21:56Brie.
21:56Hi, I thought we'd missed ya.
21:58No, somebody else just did.
22:00Aren't that by me again?
22:02He just took a shot at me.
22:04Are you okay?
22:05Uh, well, yeah, I seem to be okay.
22:08Did you get a look at him?
22:10No, I didn't get a look.
22:11Uh, I got a few things to tell you.
22:12I'm gonna, uh, I'm gonna catch the next plane outta here.
22:15Okay, listen, you be careful, okay?
22:17Oh, yeah, believe it.
22:20Goodbye.
22:21Bye-bye.
22:33Ladies and gentlemen,
22:35for those of you who haven't yet seen
22:37the artistry of pilot William Freeman,
22:39let me direct your attention upward,
22:41where Mr. Freeman is presently doing what he does best,
22:44performing his own special kind of aerial ballet.
22:47Like many of his contemporaries,
22:49Bill Freeman finds the true thrill of flight
22:52in aerobatic maneuvers,
22:53and to many experts, Bill Freeman is one of the finest
22:56aerobatic pilots in the world today.
22:58Interestingly enough, Mr. Freeman
23:00is younger than the plane he's flying,
23:02so we have a very graceful union
23:04of a young man and a somewhat older machine.
23:07Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Bill Freeman.
23:10Looks like Mr. Freeman's come a long way
23:12since the old wooden airplanes in the garage.
23:15A long way.
23:16You know what? I'm gonna meet you back at the hotel.
23:19I'm starving.
23:20Okay.
23:21Okay.
23:23Hi.
23:24Let's see, um, I'll have a cheeseburger and coffee.
23:31Oh!
23:32Oh!
23:33Sorry, I spilled it all over you.
23:35It's okay. It's just a little bit.
23:37I hope it doesn't stain.
23:38No, no, no, no, I'll just take it to the cleaners.
23:41I can't believe it. Clumsy, stupid, stupid.
23:44I'm sorry.
23:45I'm sorry.
23:46I'm sorry.
23:47I'm sorry.
23:48I'm sorry.
23:49I'm sorry.
23:50I'm sorry.
23:51Clumsy, stupid.
23:53Will you relax? It's okay. Don't worry.
23:56Okay, I won't. Providing.
23:59Providing what?
24:03You let me buy you that cheeseburger, okay?
24:08Okay.
24:09I hate to see a grown man cry.
24:21Okay.
24:40Jake says to say hello.
24:42Jake?
24:45Jake Meadows?
24:46Yeah.
24:47He said you were good. He was right.
24:50Kelly Garrett.
24:53Thank you.
24:54What were you doing in Kane's Corners?
24:57Just passing through.
24:59On your way to where?
25:02Anywhere that feels good, I guess.
25:05There aren't very many of us, are there?
25:08Many of us?
25:10They go anywhere it feels good.
25:12I manage it with that.
25:15How do you manage?
25:16Well, I work a little, play a little, pray a little.
25:20I could use that.
25:22Use what?
25:23I've been trying to come up with a name for my beauty.
25:26Never seemed to come up with one.
25:29Maybe it wasn't a name I was looking for.
25:31Work a little, play a little, pray a little.
25:34I like it.
25:36What do you think?
25:38I think I'd have to get to know your plane better before I could give an opinion.
25:42Okay, let's get to it.
25:46Okay.
26:12Okay, let's get to it.
26:42Okay.
27:09Nice little place you've got here.
27:11Now what?
27:12Now?
27:16Munch.
27:18Ah, that sounds nice.
27:24No finger bowls?
27:27I wasn't expecting company.
27:30As a rule, I eat alone.
27:33I'm glad you broke the rules.
27:36So am I.
27:41Thank you.
27:51Thank you.
27:52What it boils down to is this.
27:54Joan Freeman was Joan Cabelli, just like you thought.
27:57And she did have a son.
27:59And somebody doesn't want us to find out whatever it is we're finding out.
28:02Now we know who the man is.
28:04What I want to know, is he my son?
28:07That's gonna take some time.
28:09Well, hello.
28:10Hi, welcome back.
28:11Thank you.
28:12Did you find out who was shooting at you?
28:14Nope.
28:15Well, you're all right, aren't you?
28:16Yes.
28:17Where have you been?
28:18Well, I've been to about 10,000 feet.
28:22I've been upside down, downside up.
28:25Front ways, back ways.
28:27Some ways I can't explain.
28:28What?
28:29I drank wine from a paper cup under a tree in a meadow.
28:33Named an airplane.
28:35Came home.
28:36Oh.
28:37And what did you do for excitement?
28:42Oh, I don't know if he's your son, Mr. Standler.
28:46But I can assure you, he is an original.
28:49Have you told him who you are, what you want?
28:52No.
28:53Why not?
28:54Well, he's a very independent fellow.
28:58A definite loner.
29:00I'm afraid if I told him what I wanted, he'd back off.
29:05Are you telling me that you need more time?
29:09I know time is important, Mr. Standler.
29:13I hope you'll trust me to handle it the way I think best.
29:23I get the distinct impression that you like this young man.
29:29Whoever he is.
29:31I do.
29:33Whoever he is.
29:37Well, I'm real sorry that I haven't gotten to meet this man among men.
29:43Uh-huh.
29:44Oh, well, we're meeting at the pool for breakfast.
29:47Why don't you drop by, take a look, turn green with envy.
29:52I see.
29:53Okay, I tell you what.
29:55Why don't we turn in for the night?
29:57I'm a little tired.
29:58Good idea.
29:59Good night.
30:00Good night.
30:01Good night.
30:02Good night.
30:05I get the feeling you haven't come down yet.
30:08What do you mean?
30:09Well, I mean, I think your flying friend still has you a little bit off the ground.
30:14It's not a bad feeling.
30:16No, as long as you don't crash and burn.
30:20That's not the plan.
30:21No, never is.
30:25Come on.
30:33Hi.
30:34Welcome to a lovely morning.
30:36You can get your orange juice right here.
30:38Okay, thanks.
30:39Uh, can we have scrambled, bacon crisp,
30:41rye toast slightly buttered, and, uh, coffee, right?
30:45How'd you figure that out?
30:47We just seem to keep moving in the same groove.
30:50We do, don't we?
30:52Here you go.
30:55So, cheer up.
30:59So, cheer up.
31:02There's worse ways to go, right?
31:04Right.
31:06So, where do we go from here?
31:08Like you said, wherever it feels good.
31:11Okay.
31:12Only, uh, I don't know anything about you.
31:15Well, I'm from Cain's Corners, remember?
31:18Yeah.
31:19You folks live there?
31:22My mother lived there.
31:24She was, uh, killed in an auto accident a couple weeks ago.
31:28I'm sorry.
31:30Were you close?
31:32No.
31:33Well, I loved her because she was my mother, but we were never close.
31:37That's too bad.
31:38That's the way it was.
31:40She lived in a little house, read her Bible,
31:43worried about being the perfect Christian lady.
31:46She never smiled.
31:48She never looked up.
31:50She didn't really live.
31:52She existed.
31:54What about your dad?
31:56I never knew him.
31:58I don't understand.
32:00Do you have to?
32:02Oh.
32:04Just curious.
32:06I'm sorry.
32:08When I was a kid, I noticed that the other kids had fathers and maybe even a grandfather, and I didn't.
32:13So, naturally, I asked my mother how it came to be that way.
32:16And what did she tell you?
32:18She said that my father was a good, morally ambitious man,
32:22but she wasn't with him anymore because of...
32:29Because what?
32:33She said that she had inherited sinful blood.
32:36I think that was the term she used.
32:38So she left him.
32:40Did she ever tell you his name?
32:42Nope.
32:43And after a while, I stopped asking.
32:46Or caring.
32:52Kind of hard to understand, huh?
32:54Yeah, especially for a kid.
32:57So I made up my mind right then.
32:59I'd stay away from people who wore false faces,
33:02and nobody and nothing would ever get a hook in me again.
33:07Two of a kind, right?
33:09Right.
33:11Two of a kind.
33:16Two of a kind.
33:25Hi there.
33:26Hi there.
33:27Hey, why don't you sit down? Let me spill something on you.
33:31Oh, I'd love to, but I'm about to meet my friend.
33:35Oh, isn't he that stunt pilot?
33:37Yeah.
33:39Is your girlfriend his girlfriend?
33:42Well, she's working on it.
33:44He must be a pretty interesting guy.
33:46I mean, pilot, daredevil, Batman.
33:49Well, I'm about to find out.
33:51I'll see you at the races.
33:53Hey, want to have lunch today?
33:55About 1 o'clock, same spot?
33:58Come on.
34:00Sure.
34:01Great.
34:15Find out anything?
34:17Oh, they're getting close.
34:19And sooner or later, they're going to tell him.
34:21Meantime, I've arranged to meet her for lunch.
34:25I'm going to make that phone call.
34:39The two of them are with him now.
34:41What do you want me to do?
34:45I can't lose it all now.
34:47Not after all the years I've invested in him.
34:50He owes me.
34:52He's needed me, and I've always been there.
34:57If this man is his son,
35:00I won't be cheated now, not when I'm this close.
35:04You want me to kill him?
35:06I have no choice.
35:08What about the two with him?
35:09You want me to try another near-miss like the one I did in New York?
35:12I'm afraid a near-miss won't do.
35:14This time, it seems they refuse to be discouraged.
35:16By now, they could know too much already.
35:19I've got to end John's dream
35:22before it becomes my nightmare, you understand?
35:26Miss Wales, all we understand or care about is the money you pay us.
35:30You owe us for the one who came snooping around from New York.
35:33Now you want three more put away.
35:35That's triple the expense.
35:36Are you prepared for that?
35:38Yes, I suppose I must be.
35:43I am.
35:55It's the final qualifying heat.
35:57George Fry and Roger Haynes have been having a bloody battle for the past 20 minutes.
36:01Fry is presently leading with Haynes running a close second.
36:05These two will no doubt qualify for the finals later today.
36:08And I must say, the final run for the money promises to be a very exciting event,
36:12to say the least.
36:14Tell the board I'm coming back when I'm good and ready to come back.
36:21John, has anyone ever told you you sometimes appear tyrannical?
36:25Yes, you have, countless times.
36:27Do you suppose I'm right?
36:29Well, you're the only one who could keep on telling me and still be around.
36:35I'm still around, John, because you're very important to me.
36:38I hope you realize how important.
36:42Hello.
36:44Hello.
36:46Well, did you learn anything, Miss Garrett?
36:49A little.
36:51Well, when can we expect some answers?
36:54Well, soon, I hope, Mr. Stambler.
36:57I think I'm getting close.
36:59I've made some sandwiches in case anyone is hungry.
37:02No, thanks, none for me.
37:03Oh, and not for me. As a matter of fact, I have a heavy date.
37:06I'll walk halfway there.
37:09Pick me up at, oh, say, 1 o'clock at the hot dog stand.
37:13No later. Charlie's calling at 2.
37:15Okay, see you later.
37:23Ah, good, you're not using wax.
37:25Wax?
37:27Icarus the Greek, he used wax on his wings.
37:31The sun melted it and he fell to earth.
37:34There's a lesson in there somewhere.
37:36Never fly with a Greek god.
37:40That could be the lesson.
37:42You know, after this show is over, I'll be leaving here.
37:45And then where do you go?
37:47I thought maybe you could help me with that.
37:49I should decide where you go?
37:51I was thinking in the plural, we.
37:55Where we go?
37:57The idea doesn't appeal to you?
38:00It appeals to me.
38:03Much more than I would have imagined.
38:10I don't see any ropes tying you down.
38:13Are there any?
38:15Bill, they're things we should talk about.
38:17Why? I am what you see.
38:20I'll always be what I am. Nothing will change.
38:23You can't be so sure about that.
38:25Oh, I can be. And I am.
38:28Bill, nobody can be that sure.
38:31I don't know about anybody else.
38:33I only know about me.
38:36You know, it's tough to get to that place,
38:38but once you're there, it's a fine place to live.
38:42You should try it.
38:50Bill, there's something I want to tell you.
38:53I'll be here when you come down.
38:58All right.
39:16Hi, how are you?
39:18Right on time. How are you doing?
39:20What do you have, coffee and a cheeseburger
39:22or a cheeseburger and a coffee?
39:24Let's see. Surprise me.
39:26Three cheeseburgers, three coffees, please.
39:28Three?
39:29I ran into an old friend of mine.
39:31Joe, I'd like you to meet Chris.
39:33Hi, Chris. Hi, Joe.
39:35He tells me you had breakfast with...
39:37Oh, yeah, this morning with my girlfriend.
39:39Why do you ask? I'm a big fan of his.
39:41Are you into planes?
39:43No, but I've admired him for a long time.
39:45Know him well?
39:47My girlfriend knows him. I just met him this morning.
39:49I'd sure like to get to meet him.
39:51You think your girlfriend could arrange that?
39:53Oh, well, I could ask her.
39:56But aren't you a little old for autographs?
39:58Oh, give me a cup of coffee.
40:04Before leaving us in his aerial pursuit of the muse, so to speak,
40:07Bill Freeman offers one last glimpse of the past
40:10as he again performs his artistry for your pleasure.
40:13Ladies and gentlemen, if you've enjoyed the past three days here in Reno,
40:17believe me when I tell you,
40:19the men who've performed for you feel the same way.
40:22I truly hope you've found some insight into the world of these men
40:25who crossed the skies in this country of ours.
40:28Good luck to all of you, and good fun.
40:31You're missing some great stuff out there.
40:33So what do you think?
40:35What I think about what?
40:37Well, can you get your girlfriend to introduce me to Freeman?
40:40Well, I'll ask her when I get back to the hotel.
40:42So she's not here now?
40:44Well, she is, but I really don't have time right now.
40:47Well, it wouldn't take that long, would it?
40:50A little longer than I have, unfortunately.
40:52Listen, thanks for the cheeseburger.
40:55Why don't you call me when you get back to the hotel?
40:58I'm afraid that won't do, miss.
41:01What is this?
41:03We want to meet your girlfriend, Ann Freeman, now.
41:06What's going on?
41:08You don't want to get hurt, and I'm sure you don't.
41:11Just give me the little gun in your purse...
41:16Do exactly as you're told.
41:19Now move.
41:36Hey, there she is.
41:38Where?
41:39Grant!
41:41Hey, who are those guys?
41:43Oh, no, I've never seen them before.
41:49Hey, Bosley, she's not going anywhere.
41:51They're taking her. Come on.
42:14How'd they do?
42:16No wax on your wings.
42:18I, uh, I wasn't sure you'd still be here.
42:21Well, like I said, I...
42:24Hi.
42:26Hi.
42:27I thought you were meeting Bosley and Sabrina.
42:29There's been a change of plans.
42:31Who are these two?
42:33You know the heavy date I told you about?
42:35A little heavier than I figured.
42:38What the hell is going on?
42:41Nothing personal, Mr. Freeman.
42:43I'm afraid somebody wants you dead, all three of you.
42:45This is a joke, right?
42:47I mean, somebody's pulling a joke.
42:51I don't think so, Bill.
42:53Get on the truck, Mr. Freeman.
42:55Now, look, mister, I don't know who you are or what this is about.
42:57Mr. Freeman, get on the truck or I'll drop her where she stands.
42:59I'll take your gun, miss.
43:01Do as he says, Bill, please.
43:03All right, move out.
43:11Come on.
43:17Come on.
43:36Get him up.
43:42Now, what the hell is going on around here?
43:44I think it's the perfect time to find out.
44:03Oh, God.
44:05Uh-oh.
44:08Who are these men? What is this?
44:10I think maybe you better ask Miss Wales.
44:16What's this all about?
44:18John, you've got to understand.
44:22I care so much about you. I really do.
44:25I always have.
44:28I was afraid I'd lose you.
44:30Everything.
44:32Everything.
44:38I was just so afraid.
44:41Please, please, I'm sorry.
44:44I didn't know what else to do.
44:47Please, I really am sorry.
45:08Bill.
45:10Billy wants to meet you.
45:12Look, I've listened to everything you had to tell me.
45:14I don't know if your client is my father.
45:16Your mother never...
45:18I told you everything my mother ever told me.
45:20Bill, maybe if we talked and spent some time, you'd remember more.
45:24I don't want to remember more.
45:27What about your mother's family in New York?
45:29What about them?
45:31You have possible legal claims.
45:33There's a lot of money there, too.
45:36You've kind of got it coming at you from all sides.
45:39Oh, yeah, and a lot of responsibility,
45:41and ties, compromises, right?
45:45It usually goes with the territory.
45:47I told you, nothing.
45:50No one was ever going to get a hook in me again.
45:54Bill, I wanted to tell you why I was here.
45:56Yeah, well, now you got your place to go,
46:00and I got mine.
46:06Hey.
46:09It's okay.
46:12Just went down wrong, that's all.
46:16Keep the wax off your wings.
46:29Clear.
46:35Clear.
46:54He didn't want to see me.
46:56I guess not, Mr. Stamler.
47:06We still don't know anything.
47:09After all that, we know nothing.
47:13Well, maybe knowing isn't important.
47:17Maybe feeling's important.
47:19I mean, if you really believe that he's your son,
47:21nobody can take that away from you.
47:24But why wouldn't he at least see me? Why?
47:28Mr. Stamler, you told us
47:31you were once young, proud, and stubborn.
47:35So is he.
47:37He'll come around. I know.
47:40Now that he knows, sooner or later,
47:44he'll come around. You'll see.
47:47Maybe I will, Mr. Stamler. Maybe I will.
48:05Maybe I will.
