00:00Where's Mildred?
00:02Oh, Jesus!
00:04What could be so important about a dog
00:06that somebody would kidnap it,
00:08then shoot to keep it?
00:12What does he want?
00:14The Jennings diamond.
00:16If I don't get it to him by 10, he'll kill Mildred.
00:18Once more into the breach!
00:26What do you say to that, eh?
00:29Put it back.
00:31It's a setup.
00:58It's a setup.

02:26It's a setup.
02:40Sleepy rest, huh?
02:42Looks about as restful as a split lip.
02:44You wait for me, amigo.
02:48Capisce?
02:50Hop in, lady.
02:56Oh
03:26Ow, ooh, ouch, ow, ouch, ouch.
03:31Oh, God.
03:34Okay, okay, sweetie, we got you.
03:37Goodie, goodie, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
03:39Wait, okay, here we go.
03:41Okay.
03:45Cheater!
03:47Ah!
03:51Ah!
03:52Ah!
03:52Ah!
03:53Ah!
04:01I told you to wait!
04:06I'll have your green card for this.
04:09I can't wait to get my money's worth.
04:12You know, I think you're right.
04:13You should start thinking about it.
04:14I'm gonna be back in a minute.
04:15All right.
04:16Bye.
04:17Bye.
04:18Bye.
04:19Bye.

04:37Bye.
04:38Bye.
04:39Bye.
05:04Newspaper.
05:06Intolerable.
05:09No, I'm afraid I can't help you with that, either.
05:12Laura!
05:13Sir, sir, I don't know whether the Stenopads we ordered
05:17are canary yellow or a winter mint green.
05:20Look, you'll just have to call back later about all this.
05:24Yes, well, I'm sorry!
05:26Goodbye!
05:27Have you tried this?
05:28I made it. I don't have to drink it.
05:31It's like a hot cup at the Thames.
05:33Where's Milly?
05:34I don't know.
05:35I made it. I don't have to drink it.
05:37It's like a hot cup at the Thames.
05:39Where's Mildred?
05:40Question of the hour.
05:41The newspaper wasn't on my desk.
05:42The coffee is toxic.
05:43My morning calm has been shattered, Laura.
05:45Utterly shattered.
05:46Bear up, Mr. Steele.
05:47This is the first time Mildred has been late.
05:49I'm sure she'll be here soon to restore order to our universe.
05:54Wait, wait, wait.
06:01No answer from her, promise.
06:03She must be on her way.
06:05You see?
06:06Anybody home?
06:07Oh, I have a nine o'clock with Mr. Steele.
06:11Mrs. Claiborne?
06:13That's right.
06:14Ah.
06:15Oh, I see.
06:16Oh, I see.
06:17Oh, I see.
06:18Oh, I see.
06:19Oh, I see.
06:20Oh, I see.
06:21Oh, I see.
06:22Wait?
06:23I'm Laura Holt, Mr. Steele's associate.
06:26You remember Mr. Steele, Mrs. Claiborne.
06:31Is the lady who asked us to locate her former classmates for a reunion.
06:35Elmhurst finishing school, class of 47.
06:38Oh, oh, yes, of course.
06:39Delighted, Mrs. Claiborne.
06:40Oh, yes, of course.
06:41Delighted, Mrs. Claiborne.
06:42I have you down for 10.
06:43Oh, yes, I know.
06:44I changed it on Friday.
06:45Well, surely your secretary told you.
06:47We've had a bit of a mix-up this morning.
06:49Do you mind taking a seat out here for a few minutes?
06:53Uh, I'm looking for a Mildred Krebs.
06:56Who isn't?
06:57-!
07:01Hello?
07:02Remington-Steele Investigations.
07:04Where do you want it?
07:05I don't know. Anywhere.
07:06No, I was talking to somebody else.
07:08What were you saying?
07:09Tell me, Mrs. Claiborne.
07:10Wouldn't an accomplished woman like yourself
07:12know how to make a potable cup of coffee?
07:14Oh.
07:16Well, I sometimes make it on Maria's day off,
07:18My husband doesn't complain too much, is that what you mean?
07:21Excellent, excellent. Follow me this way.
07:23Call back this afternoon and ask for a Mildred Krebs.
07:27Yes, K-R-E-B-B-S.
07:31Yes. This afternoon. I don't know anything about it. Thank you.
07:39Planning a nursery, are we?
07:40What else can go wrong this morning?
07:42Come on, girls, this is it.
07:43You had to ask, didn't you?
07:45Is Mildred Krebs in?
07:48Not yet. May we help you?
07:50We're the Dragon Ladies.
07:52Who?
07:53Mildred's bowling team.
07:55Of course.
07:56That's Hazel, Esther, and I'm Rose.
08:01And what do you want?
08:03Plant Lady. Monday and Thursday.
08:05Oh, right. Yeah. Sorry. Go ahead.
08:08What can we do for you ladies, huh?
08:10We're looking for Mildred.
08:11She missed practice last night.
08:13She's never done that before, and semifinals are tonight.
08:16I tried reaching her until midnight, but no luck.
08:20So we thought she might be off on another hush-hush assignment.
08:24Mildred?
08:25I told you, girls, they can't talk about it.
08:27Talk about what?
08:29It's okay, honey. We understand.
08:31Mildred's told us the kind of work that she does.
08:34The intrigue, the danger.
08:36I didn't think you could talk about it if your top op was on a case.
08:40Top op?
08:42Mr. Steele.
08:44Would you excuse us for a moment, ladies?
08:51Regardless of whatever tall stories Mildred has been spinning, I'm worried.
08:55Yes. That isn't like her at all, is it?
08:57Excuse me. Oh, sorry.
09:00I have a key Mildred gave me to her apartment in case of an emergency.
09:04Well, I suggest we use it.
09:06Excuse me. Sorry.
09:13Ah, ladies, I don't think Miss Krebs is in any sort of trouble,
09:17but Miss Holt and I are going to make sure.
09:19If you would like to check back with us later...
09:21We can wait.
09:22She's the rock of our team.
09:24We don't stand a chance without her tonight.
09:26Suit yourselves.
09:28There you are, Mr. Steele.
09:30Mrs. Claiborne, would you be an angel and watch the phones for a moment?
09:33Miss Holt and I will be right back.
09:35Oh, yes. I suppose so.
09:37Splendid. You're a godsend. Toodle-oo.
09:42Come on, guys.
09:58Yes?
10:00Who is this?
10:02Susan Claiborne. Who is this?
10:04All right.
10:06Susan Claiborne, who is this?
10:20Yes?
10:21I'm calling Remington Steele Investigations.
10:23This is Remington Steele Investigations.
10:25Susan Claiborne speaking.
10:28Forty-five minutes late and already they replaced me?
10:31Pardon?
10:33Put Mr. Steele on the phone.
10:35I'm afraid Mr. Steele isn't here.
10:37Well, then give me Miss Holt.
10:39She's not here either.
10:42You'll have to speak up.
10:52Hello? Hello?
10:56Hello?
11:00No.
11:02Young people today.
11:06Oh.
11:27Best made?
11:29Everything's neat as a pin.
11:32No question where Mildred feeds her overactive imagination.
11:36Oh.
11:39Have a look at this.
11:45Besides us, it seems the dragon ladies are all she has.
11:48Odd.
11:50I never really thought about what Mildred does outside the office.
11:54Neither have I.
11:56Must get pretty lonely for her.
11:58Divorced. No children.
12:00Just a sister living in Seattle.
12:03Makes it easier to understand why she might exaggerate to her friends.
12:08Add a little color to her life.
12:10And theirs, too, obviously.
12:12Oh, I hope nothing's happened.
12:30Ah, Mr. Steele, Miss Holt.
12:32This is Kevin Masters.
12:34Hello.
12:36I'm just here to get my dog.
12:38Excuse me?
12:40Oh, you must be Shirley's friend.
12:42That's right.
12:44Who's Shirley?
12:46There he is.
12:48Good boy.
12:50Good boy.
12:52Good boy.
12:54Good boy.
12:56Good boy.
12:58Good boy.
13:00Good boy.
13:02Mildred!
13:04Mr. Steele, Miss Holt.
13:06I'm sorry I'm late.
13:16This man was shooting.
13:18And I couldn't get away.
13:22Rest, Mildred.
13:24We'll talk later.
13:27How is she?
13:29Fine. She just needs some rest.
13:34He must like you, Mr. Steele.
13:38Bad dog.
13:41I'm sorry, Mr. Steele.
13:43I guess he's just excited by all the attention.
13:46Perfectly understandable.
13:48Mr. Masters, do you think you could fill us in on just what you and your dog are doing here?
13:52Oh, I can explain.
13:54Shirley gave me a jingle.
13:56So I rang up Mildred and Mildred buzzed Shirley.
13:58Who's Shirley?
14:00I am. Shirley Mellish is the name.
14:02Oh, look here. This is the fella.
14:04Hello, Mr. Masters.
14:06I see you made it, all right.
14:08You Steele?
14:10Me Steele.
14:12Miss Mellish, do you think we might have a word with you in my office?
14:14Sure.
14:16Oh, boy.
14:18Jungle.
14:20Straight through. Do sit down, please.
14:22In matters of this nature, Miss Mellish,
14:24I find it advisable for subjects to focus on the initial stages of their narrative
14:27and then to proceed chronologically.
14:29What did he say?
14:31He means start at the beginning.
14:33Ah, gotcha.
14:35Okay, well, Mr. Masters drops off his pooch on Sunday, like always.
14:38I groom dogs, see, and I wash them, clip them, whatever they need.
14:41So I take care of his dog, and I put him out in the back when I hear something.
14:44I run out, and there's this guy making off with the dog.
14:47So I chase the creep, but he hops in his car, and he drives off.
14:50Not being a dimwit, I copied down the license plate number.
14:54But now I have a problem.
14:56Why didn't you simply call the police?
14:58Well, you see, Mr. Steele, I run the business out of my home for the last 15 years now.
15:02You know, nice and simple, no formalities.
15:04And no business license.
15:06On the nose, honey.
15:08So I don't think the boys in blue would take too kindly to that.
15:10I think you're right. But why did you call Mildred?
15:12Oh, I didn't call her. I called Hazel.
15:14Hazel called Mildred, and Mildred called me.
15:16Right. Go on.
15:18So Mildred says, no problem.
15:20She'll have the dog back at noon today.
15:22And so she does.
15:24End of story.
15:26Thank you, Mrs. Millish.
15:28Sure.
15:33It isn't enough that I have to cover for you as a detective.
15:36Now I have Mildred to worry about.
15:38I suppose we ought to have a little chat with her about misrepresentation.
15:41Yes, why don't you talk to her about it, being an expert in the subject?
15:44Oh, come now, Laura. Calm down.
15:46After all, she did get the dog back.
15:48You're missing the point.
15:50Obviously she used my confidential sources to trace that license plate.
15:53Personally, I find that offensive.
15:55And professionally, it's fraudulent.
15:57Real detectives lose their licenses for things like that.
16:00Perhaps you're missing the point.
16:02Regardless of any improprieties,
16:04it appears that Mildred is at a harrowing time,
16:06and for reasons which are presently obscure at best.
16:09You're right.
16:11First things first.
16:13What could be so important about a dog
16:15that somebody would kidnap it,
16:17then shoot to keep it?
16:21Come here, fellas. Come on.
16:23Laura, let's not be hasty.
16:27I'm Kevin Masters.
16:29It was my dog you recovered.
16:32I just heard the whole story,
16:34and, well, I wanted to say thank you.
16:37Oh, it was nothing.
16:41Well, I'd better let you get back to sleep.
16:44No, that's okay.
16:46You can keep me up a little longer.
16:49I thought you got along with dogs.
16:51I do. Dogs love me. I love dogs.
16:54That, Laura, is obviously not a dog.
16:56It's some other animal masquerading as a dog.
16:58I see.
17:01Wait a minute. Look at this.
17:05Am I imagining things,
17:07or are these real diamonds?
17:10Well, they do appear to be authentic enough.
17:15Excuse me. There's a gentleman here to see you.
17:18Tell him to wait outside, Mrs. Claiborne. We're very busy.
17:21Well, the gentleman is very insistent.
17:23In fact, he has a gun!
17:26Give me that.
17:28Not that.
17:30That.
17:36Hey, that's my dog!
17:40It's obligatory.
17:44Oh!
17:51Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
17:53Eleven flags, Laura.
17:55You're right. He'll be in Poughkeepsie by the time we get down the stairs.
17:58Okay.
18:00You're confirming charges are on the house this week, Mr. Masters.
18:04Did you catch him?
18:06No. May we have a word with you, Mr. Masters?
18:08Oh, yeah. Excuse me.
18:11Oops. This one's taken.
18:16Would you mind telling me what makes your dog so popular?
18:19I don't know. I'm as baffled as you are.
18:22Oh, come now, Mr. Masters.
18:24I mean, dognappings at gunpoint are hardly an everyday occurrence,
18:27even in Los Angeles.
18:29What about this, Mr. Masters?
18:31His collar.
18:33Mm-hmm. What are real diamonds doing on a dog collar, Mr. Masters?
18:38That dog is all I have in the world.
18:41He and I go back a long way.
18:44I, uh...
18:46I don't have anyone to spoil, so I'm afraid I spoil him.
18:49But why would somebody take the dog and not the collar?
18:52I don't know.
18:54But I'll pay you anything to get him back.
18:58Here.
19:00Take the collar as collateral.
19:02That won't be necessary.
19:04We'll see what we can do.
19:06We'll see what we can do, Mr. Masters.
19:11So I took buses, cabs, anything to get away from the man.
19:15I have been to places in the last 24 hours that I never knew existed.
19:19West Covina.
19:21Azusa. Do you know there's a place called City of Industry?
19:24Mm-hmm.
19:26Go on, Mildred.
19:28Well, there's not much more to tell.
19:30I thought I finally gave him the slip, but I guess not.
19:33Perhaps we better start at the place where you found the dog.
19:36Oh, the address is in my purse.
19:38I called your friend Alan at the DMV to trace the car.
19:43It was a rental from Johnson Leasing,
19:46so I called them and got a local address.
19:49You're not mad at me, are you?
19:51We'll talk about it later.
19:53For the moment, we're just glad you're all right, okay?
19:56I didn't think it would turn out like this.
19:58When Hazel called, it seemed so minor.
20:01A stolen dog, for crying out loud.
20:05And, well, I'd been telling them all for a while now that, uh...
20:11that I'm more than a secretary.
20:15I couldn't say no.
20:17But you're very important to us, as you are, Mildred.
20:20Perhaps you haven't realized this,
20:22but you're very much appreciated around here. Really.
20:25Well, maybe.
20:28Sometimes.
20:31But you, too.
20:34You're so young.
20:37You're admired.
20:39Your lives are important.
20:41And I don't even pretend to understand your relationship.
20:45But you do seem to have each other.
20:48Sometimes, well...
20:52sometimes it's hard for me.
20:55I'm just an old bureaucrat with a busted marriage
20:58and fading memories.
21:00Mildred.
21:01Come on, come here, old Mildred.
21:04I mean, sometimes, I don't know, I...
21:09I just want to feel important, too.
21:14Yes, and they've asked me to stay on the rest of the day.
21:18I mean, can you imagine, Carol, me working?
21:21Actually, it's not nearly as unpleasant as I'd always imagined it was.
21:26Miss Krebs, the ladies will see you home now.
21:29Do you want me to make that court appearance for you
21:32on the Williamson matter, Miss Krebs?
21:34Oh, certainly, Miss Holt.
21:36And extend my apologies to the judge.
21:39I've just reviewed the Rothenberg dossier, Miss Krebs.
21:42First-rate, as always.
21:44Anything else we need to know about in your absence?
21:47I think you've been brought up to date,
21:49but keep me advised of any developments.
21:52You got it.
21:53Oh, and, Mr. Steele,
21:55don't you think we should do something about these plants?
21:58Right away.
21:59Good.
22:00Come on, girls, let's take the limo.
22:02Good-bye, then.
22:03Good-bye.
22:04Good-bye, good-bye.
22:06You know, Laura, I hadn't realized until this moment
22:09just how frustrating it must be for you
22:11to pretend that I'm the head of this agency.
22:13It's about time.
22:14I mean, for over a year now,
22:16you've had to put up with countless charades
22:18and indignities of the sort
22:19that I've just experienced for a brief moment
22:21and yet found quite demeaning, even at that.
22:24It's truly remarkable
22:25the way you've been able to keep your emotions in check
22:28while I take the glory for all your efforts.
22:30Truly remarkable, yes.
22:32Keep up the good work.
22:49Number four, John Smith.
22:52That's not an alias, I suppose.
22:55Gunshots
22:58♪
23:08Gunshots
23:11Dog barks
23:14Dog barks
23:17Dog barks
23:20Dog barks
23:23Dog growls
23:26Dog barks
23:29Dog barks
23:33Oh!
23:36It's the man from Mildred's apartment.
23:46Oh, my.
23:48What is it?
23:49Jonathan Hemmings.
23:51Interpol.
23:53Oh, my.
24:03I didn't know you had a dog, Laura.
24:05He belongs to Mr. Steele.
24:07Mr. Steele just loves dogs.
24:10You say you knew this Hemmings, Lieutenant?
24:13Came through the office. That was about it.
24:15Said he was trying to find a former Interpol man
24:18named, uh, Anatole Blalock.
24:21Seems as Blalock is still going around
24:23using Interpol credentials and contacts.
24:25Any idea why?
24:27Thanks, Tom.
24:29Sure.
24:32I'll bet Blalock is the one we're after.
24:35It would explain what Hemmings was doing at Mildred's apartment.
24:38He saw Blalock chasing Mildred,
24:40picked up on her identity somehow,
24:42and decided to check her out.
24:44Laura, this case just became extremely interesting.
24:47Several years ago,
24:49Interpol put Anatole Blalock
24:51in charge of apprehending a brilliant thief
24:53known as Lillanard.
24:55The fox? Mm-hmm.
24:57Blalock failed utterly,
24:59so Interpol had to cashier it out.
25:01Apparently Blalock became unhinged by it all.
25:04How do you know so much about Blalock, anyway?
25:07Mm.
25:09Because, for a while, Interpol thought I was the fox.
25:13Were you?
25:15There were times I wished I was.
25:17Mm.
25:23Good cookies.
25:25It's just chocolate chip.
25:27I like the package.
25:29Yeah, but some people put nuts in them.
25:31Right.
25:33I don't like them with nuts.
25:35Me either. That's why I didn't put them in.
25:38Here I am, prattling on about myself,
25:41and I don't know anything about you, Kevin.
25:44Not much to tell, Mildred.
25:46I'm retired.
25:48Nowadays, I mostly, uh,
25:50take walks with my faithful companion.
25:52Your wife?
25:54My dog.
25:57I love the little guy.
25:59Oh, Billy! It's us!
26:04Well, I should be going.
26:06Oh.
26:08Maybe I'll, uh, drop around tomorrow,
26:11if you'll be around, Betty.
26:13I'll be here.
26:17Good day, ladies.
26:19He's just a friend.
26:50Stay.
26:54Stay.
26:56When I say stay, you bloody will stay, damn it!
26:59Wonderful technique.
27:01I'm close to a breakthrough, Laura. I can sense it.
27:04Laura, observe.
27:06Sit.
27:08Sit.
27:11Stand.
27:13Stand.
27:19Walkies!
27:21Walkies!
27:23Ha-ha.
27:25Oh, Mr. Steele.
27:28Huh?
27:32It sickens me to think that you and old Yeller
27:35are members of the same animal family.
27:37These scrapbooks are amazing.
27:39Sort of a catalogue of classic burglaries in our time.
27:42Some children collect comic books,
27:44others collect baseball cards.
27:46You collected larcenies.
27:48There's quite a lot here about Le Renard.
27:51Gentleman thief, only stole from the very rich,
27:54never used weapons, never caught.
27:56He dropped out of sight several years ago.
27:59Here you go.
28:02This is the collar that was around the dog.
28:05You mean Kevin Masters?
28:07Le Renard?
28:09I don't believe it.
28:11We have a master criminal for a client?
28:13Makes for a nice change of pace, eh?
28:15Let's be serious for a moment.
28:17Some of these articles mention an alleged accomplice,
28:20Doolittle.
28:22He was never identified either.
28:24Irish, isn't it, Doolittle?
28:26I suppose so.
28:28Listen.
28:29Doolittle!
28:31Will you be quiet, please? I'm trying to listen.
28:34Don't you see? Doolittle!
28:37I would have thought a master thief
28:39would have grander digs.
28:45You found him!
28:47Come in, come in.
28:49Well, hello there, boy.
28:51How are you?
28:53Doolittle's a good dog, isn't he?
28:55Yes, he's a fine...
28:57Doolittle!
28:59Doolittle!
29:01Doolittle!
29:03Doolittle!
29:06Did I tell you his name?
29:08You know, I'm told that one of the great frustrations
29:11of being a master criminal
29:13is the inability to take credit for one's own craft.
29:16Take, uh, Le Renard, for instance,
29:19who pulled off such remarkable jobs
29:22as the Macedonian chalice,
29:24the Habsburg triptych,
29:26the Panthers' eye ruby of Simba.
29:29What restraint he must have
29:31not to throw open the shutters
29:33to the world and shout,
29:35I did it.
29:37You must love that dog an awful lot
29:40to give him a collar that could put you away, Mr. Masters.
29:43Does, uh, Miss Krabs know?
29:48Oh, please, come on in. Sit down.
29:55Well, what's this all about?
29:58Um, and it's all play luck?
30:01Play luck?
30:03Mm-hmm.
30:05Cruel chap, but not too quick, thank God.
30:08I thought he'd quit searching for me years ago.
30:12Why are you looking at me like that, Miss Holt?
30:15I'm finding it hard to believe
30:17that you're a famous cat burglar.
30:19Dog burglar, actually.
30:21Never cared for cats, they're haughty creatures.
30:24But Doolittle here and his forebears
30:27have been a great help to me, haven't you?
30:31You mustn't judge me too harshly, Miss Holt.
30:34I'm a man whose talents put him outside the law.
30:37Actually, I learned my trade
30:39working for Uncle Sam during the war
30:41undercover operations in Europe.
30:43When the war was over, I stayed on in England.
30:46What happened to all the money?
30:48You mean this?
30:50I spent it when I had it, no regrets.
30:52This place suits me fine.
30:54Nice neighborhood, pretty quiet.
30:56Gardening's my hobby now, must be the English influence.
30:59You Brits really love your gardens, don't you?
31:03Well...
31:07I guess you have to turn me in now, right?
31:10For what?
31:12The statute of limitations on the Cronenberg necklace
31:15ran out years ago.
31:17I don't see any evidence of wrongdoing in our bailiwick.
31:20It's mighty nice of you.
31:22Let's just say I have a soft spot
31:24for charming men with mysterious pasts.
31:27But we do have a problem to solve.
31:29Blaylock.
31:31What do you think he wanted with Doolittle?
31:33I don't know.
31:35But whatever he's after, I don't think he'll stop now.
31:53You are going to make a little call for me,
31:56Miss Krebs.
32:03And what makes you think I'll do that, Blaylock?
32:08Hello, Mildred?
32:10Are you...
32:14Yes, I get the point, Blaylock.
32:16Ten o'clock.
32:18He has Mildred.
32:20What does he want?
32:22The Jennings diamond.
32:25If I don't get it to him by ten, he'll kill Mildred.
32:28So that's what he's after, eh?
32:30He wants you to steal from him.
32:32And he was using Doolittle as leverage.
32:34But now he has Mildred instead.
32:36He must have tailed me. He seen I'd taken a liking to her.
32:39Hmm. How does she sound?
32:41Scared.
32:43We'd better call the police.
32:45No, Blaylock's already killed once today.
32:47I believe he'll do it again if provoked.
32:49Well, I'd better get ready to come out of retirement.
32:52With all due respect, not even you can pull this one off.
32:55I mean, even if you do get into the gem exchange building,
32:57the diamond's in a case with a unique alarm system.
32:59Disturb the glass in any way and you set the whole bloody thing off.
33:02But I don't have much choice, do I?
33:04But it's impossible.
33:06No, I know for a fact it isn't.
33:08I may not have the tools anymore, folks,
33:10but a retiree's got to keep his mind active.
33:12See, I spend months working up a tough heist,
33:15all in my head, of course.
33:17When I've solved it, I move on to another.
33:19The Jennings diamond was one of my assignments.
33:22Fantastic.
33:25I'll need some help, though.
33:28Well, it, uh, it would be an honor
33:31to assist someone as gifted as, uh, Leranard, hmm?
34:20Come on.
34:40Okay, boy, we're back in business.
34:50Here you go. You take him.
34:58By the way, what are we going to do after we steal the diamond?
35:05Well, we'll cleverly trap Blalock into a web of his own devising.
35:09Any idea how?
35:12One simple trick.
35:16Any idea how?
35:18One thing at a time, Nora, one thing at a time, please.
35:22Come on.
35:26Once more into the breach.
35:46Are you all right?
35:49Fine.
35:51A little grease on my glove, so...
36:03A bit chilly.
36:09Pull out 142.
36:16Punch up 765.
36:22Put this in.
36:31They must be well into it by now.
36:34What gives you the right to make another man steal for you?
36:38What gives me the right?
36:41That man destroyed my life.
36:43Do you know what it's like to have your name dragged through the mud, hmm?
36:47To have your colleagues shun you,
36:49to be the butt of newspaper reporters in their stupid little columns, eh?
36:55I was a good investigator. I deserve better.
36:58But it's...
37:01Yes, Sergeant.
37:03This is Inspector Anatole Blalock of Interpol.
37:06It might interest you to know
37:08I've uncovered a plot to steal a Jennings diamond tonight.
37:11That's right.
37:13The Gem Exchange building.
37:15Yes. I thought your department might want to share credit.
37:19I'll meet you there.
37:21I thought you wanted Kevin to steal for you.
37:26Do you think money can pay for the humiliation I've suffered?
37:30No.
37:32Tonight, when I announce to the world
37:35that Blalock, the bumbler, the scapegoat,
37:38has unmasked the greatest thief of our time,
37:41caught him in the act, as it were,
37:44I shall have what I've lived for these past five years,
37:47my vindication.
37:49You'll never make it stick, Blalock.
37:51Oh, no.
37:53Kevin will tell the police that you forced him into it.
37:56Ah.
38:00But he'll need you to back him up.
38:03And you don't think I'll talk?
38:05I will sing a song that will put you...
38:11On the other hand,
38:13what business is it of mine?
38:16I mean, I hardly know the guy.
38:19I wouldn't talk.
38:21No skin off my nose.
38:27Get your coat.
38:29Millie, it's us.
38:31Don't answer it.
38:33It's my bowling team.
38:35Get rid of them, unless you want your friends to join you.
38:51What's the matter, girl?
38:53You girls went on ahead without me.
38:55A little emergency came up at the office.
38:57I'll get there by myself.
38:59But, Mildred...
39:01Pick up my bowling ball, would you?
39:03It's at the Claremore shop on Vermont.
39:05What? The Claremore shop?
39:07On Vermont.
39:12Get your coat.
39:31Come on.
39:48My ankle.
39:50How bad?
39:52Bad enough to keep me here.
39:54Well, that's it, then.
39:56No, it isn't.
39:58Doolittle's all you need from here.
40:00I can't live without you.
40:02Tell that to Miss Krebs.
40:04Look, I've explained the voice commands.
40:06He'll obey you.
40:08You're in good hands, believe me.
40:14Come on.
40:16Come on, Doolittle.
40:18Come on.
40:20How are we going to get Masters out of here?
40:22One thing at a time, Laura.
40:24This way, Doolittle.
40:30Come on.
41:00Okay, Doolittle.
41:02Fetch. Fetch.
41:04Go on, go on.
41:09Slide.
41:14Crawl.
41:18Jump.
41:24Jump.
41:26Jump.
41:29Pick it up.
41:33Okay, Doolittle, hold.
41:36Crawl. Crawl.
41:41Jump.
41:43Slide.
41:49Come on, Doolittle, bring it back.
41:51Come on, Doolittle.
41:53Come on, sweetheart, come on.
41:55Come on, Doolittle, you bloody twit.
41:57Swell.
41:59Come on, Eve, hold her.
42:02Come here, Doolittle.
42:04Come on.
42:06Bring it back.
42:10Walkies.
42:12Come on.
42:18You're an inspiration to us all, Mr. Steve.
42:24Give me your card.
42:27Oh, thank you.
42:29Good boy.
42:49Diamond 1 to Diamond 2, report, over.
42:51Diamond 2 to Diamond 1, in position, over.
42:54Diamond 1 to Diamond 3, report, over.
42:56Diamond 3 to Diamond 1, in position, over.
43:09Get up.
43:26Get up.
43:57All right, we're here.
43:59The corner of Claremore and Vermont.
44:02All I see is the gem exchange.
44:04Now what?
44:06I still don't get it.
44:08It's a clue, Hazel.
44:10Mildred's a top operative.
44:12She wouldn't have sent us here without a reason.
44:15We just have to figure out what it is.
44:18So what do we do?
44:20I don't know.
44:22Reconnoiter, girls.
44:24Reconnoiter.
44:26Diamond 1, this is Diamond 3.
44:29We have three female subjects out front, middle-aged,
44:32all wearing what appear to be bowling shirts
44:35with dragon ladies written on the back.
44:38Please advise, over.
44:40Damn.
44:53What is Mildred's bowling team doing down there?
44:56Sorry, can't talk right now.
45:00What is Mildred's bowling team doing down there?
45:03Sorry, can't talk right now.
45:30Psst.
45:32Hey, what do you say to that, eh?
45:35Put it back.
45:37Huh?
45:39It's a set-up.
45:41You see, officer, there isn't any Claremore shop.
45:44So we interpreted that to mean
45:47the corner of Claremore and Vermont.
45:49Now, the question is...
45:51I'm sure you're right, lady, but some other time, okay?
45:54You don't understand.
45:56Mildred wouldn't have told us that if there wasn't a reason.
45:59Now what?
46:03Hey, you do...
46:05Emergency call, sir.
46:07Hey, what's going on here?
46:09What are you doing here?
46:11People get locked in the building accidentally.
46:13An old man got a sprained ankle.
46:15What?
46:17Okay, everybody, up against the wall.
46:19Come on.
46:21There's a perfectly good explanation.
46:23Yeah, I'm sure there is.
46:25Congratulations, officer.
46:27You've just arrested a world-famous thief.
46:29Who are you?
46:31What have you done with Mildred?
46:33If you check that man's pockets,
46:35I'm certain you'll find a Jennings diamond.
46:37They're clean, lieutenant.
46:39What's this all about?
46:41He has the diamond. He must.
46:43This is the man you want, lieutenant.
46:45He killed an Interpol agent.
46:47Will you listen to me?
46:49Arrest this man!
46:52You little tango!
46:59Hey, take him away.
47:06Well, I suppose that dog is good for something after all.
47:10Uh, Mr. Steele.
47:22Well, I think it's safe to say the fox has finally retired.
47:26Well, at least he won't have Blaylock to worry about anymore.
47:29According to the police, his failure snapped him for good.
47:32Mm-hmm, he just sits in his cell repeating,
47:34let her not, let her not.
47:36How can I ever thank you?
47:38How about picking up my dry-cleaning bill, eh?
47:40Hi!
47:42Mrs. Claiborne.
47:44Don't you might need a little more help today?
47:47No way, Jose.
47:50Ramington Steel Investigations. One moment, please.
47:54Good morning, everyone.
47:56I thought we might have lunch, Mildred.
47:58Oh, great. I only get an hour.
48:01Yes?
48:03No, I'm afraid that won't do.
48:05When we order canary yellow pads, we expect canary yellow pads.
48:08Let me speak to your supervisor, please.
48:10I thought you said she was a very important part of this agency.
48:14She is, Mrs. Claiborne.
48:16She is.
48:19She is.
48:49She is.
