00:00I mean, a guy crashes an airplane with a bullet in his head.
00:04I think People Magazine has turned your mind to mush.
00:07No, no, no. I really think I have something here, Lord.
00:10I confess! I confess!
00:12But...
00:13Did anyone else see you?
00:15Of course not.
00:16No one's gonna stop me!

03:55It's Tyler and Austin time!
03:57Yes it is!
03:59Playin' the hits for you new and old
04:02On your 14 karat solid gold
04:06Good morning, Los Angeles.
04:08Norman Austin here.
04:09Along with Bud Tyler with this piece of advice.
04:12Shut this damn thing off and get back to sleep.
04:15And if you're already up, find a bed, any bed, and get back in it.
04:19Because that's where the real fun is.
04:25Tyler and Austin
04:27Wakin' up early
04:32Startin' your day
04:34The T and A way
04:43Norman, you want to put that damn thing away before you hurt somebody?
04:47In just a minute, we'll be joining Doug West
04:49high in the sky for a look at Los Angeles traffic.
05:04All right, slugger beds, up and at'em!
05:06Seriously, you're not gonna want to miss this one,
05:08the start of another beautiful week.
05:10We've got 65 degrees to 601.
05:12Expect highs in the upper 70s.
05:14And a gorgeous sunrise out the K.R.O.T. window.
05:17Blue skies and a few low morning clouds
05:19that should lift off before long.
05:25Awesome sight, those clouds liftin' off like that.
05:29And speaking of clouds, let's go up to the West's Nest
05:32for a look at early morning traffic.
05:34Doug, how do things look from up there?
05:36Well, it's still early, but traffic's already building
05:39at the downtown floor level.
05:41Clear sailing, though, on the Santa Ana and Santa Monica routes.
05:44Hey, if you're traveling on the eastbound Ventura, watch out.
05:47I've got a report of an overturned truck
05:49near the Hollywood transition
05:51blocking the numbers 2 and 3 lanes.
05:53Well, that's how it looks for now from my perch
05:55high in the West's Nest. K.R.O.T. traffic.
05:57Thanks, Doug. And now let's keep things moving with a little music.
06:02Hey, mister, look in my eyes
06:06Tell me what's on your mind
06:10I believe in myself
06:12That girl's got it all around me
06:17You know, Norm, I was sitting here looking out our window
06:20while the song was playing, and I was struck by a frightening realization.
06:23And I think we all know how that can hurt.
06:26Did you know that if it hadn't been for the man who invented Venetian blinds,
06:30it would be curtains for all of us?
06:32Just a brief historical note.
06:34Okay, it's 7.05 here at the Big Carrot, and, uh...
06:38time to play Pick a Hit,
06:40your chance to decide whether a new song will be a hit or a miss.
06:45We'll take caller number 14.
06:48Call 555-KROT.
06:51And keep in mind that I'll be the one
06:54to determine whether or not you are right.
06:57Why you?
06:59I'm the one with the trained ear.
07:02Trained ear?
07:04Yeah. Watch.
07:07Whistling
07:09Here, ear! Here, ear!
07:14Ah, sit, Van Gogh, sit.
07:19Good ear.
07:21No doubt about it, Norm, that is a well-trained ear.
07:267.06 now.
07:28So let's take a quick check with Doug West up in his west nest
07:32and see how traffic is shaping up.
07:34Looks like easygoing for everyone traveling the Pacific Coast Highway, bud.
07:38There's a sig alert, though, reported on the southbound 405.
07:41I've got the KROT plane headed over the Malibu Canyons now to check it out.
07:46Orange County reporting moderate to heavy traffic on all freeways.
07:53Doug, is everything okay?
07:56Little engine trouble.
07:58Can't seem to fix.
08:01Losing power.
08:03Altitude dropping.
08:06Malibu Canyons, clearing.
08:10Try to bring it down.
08:31Bringing it down now, bud. No control.
08:42Doug? Are you there? Doug?
09:00Doug?
09:31♪ Once before
09:38♪ Bring it back around
09:42♪ If we keep on trying
09:45♪ We will find a way somehow
09:48♪ To bring it back around
09:53Still no details on the plane crash involving KROT's own Doug West.
09:57But we'll be sure to let you have whatever we have as soon as we have it.
10:03Right now, it's 8.05.
10:05And if you're supposed to be at work at 8 and ain't, you're late.
10:09Well, what have we got for temperature, Norm?
10:12It's 70 degrees here at the Big Carrot, the only station in L.A.
10:15That's a good sign.
10:17What have we got for temperature, Norm?
10:19It's 70 degrees here at the Big Carrot,
10:21the only station in L.A. guaranteed to improve your eyesight.
10:24And now, back to the music.
10:28Norman, all right, spare me the sermon, but I know I'm late.
10:32But today, of all days...
10:34It's the last time, I promise you.
10:36It's the last time
10:44Morning, morning, morning.
10:46Morning, Chief.
10:48Getting in a little practice, are we, Mildred?
10:50You always make it look so easy.
10:52Years of experience. Is Miss Holt back from Malibu yet?
10:55Not yet.
10:57Excellent. Must be going well. Better than I imagined.
11:00What's that?
11:02In due course.
11:05All on the wrist.
11:18Why didn't I see the plane? It should have flown right over me.
11:21Pardon me, ma'am, weren't you in your car at the time?
11:23I had my top down.
11:25Maybe the sun got in your eyes.
11:27The sun was behind me. And what about the explosions?
11:30Why did I hear the plane explode on the radio
11:32before I heard the plane explode here?
11:34Echo in the canyon. I-I don't know.
11:44You the eyewitness?
11:46I'm near as I can figure the magneto came loose.
11:49No way it could maintain power.
11:53What about the tracks up above?
11:55Probably tried to make a forced landing.
11:58Why didn't he just stop the plane or jump out?
12:01Ma'am, I'm still investigating.
12:22Yo!
12:24Rick Badham.
12:26Couldn't help but tune in to what you were saying.
12:29Rick the bad man Badham?
12:31Bingo!
12:33Oh! I listen to your station all the time.
12:36In fact, I was tuned in to K.R.O.T. when this all happened.
12:40Doug and I were pretty tight.
12:42I can't believe he augers in after 15 years without a scratch.
12:46I can't quite believe it either, based on the evidence.
12:50You mean everything isn't copacetic?
12:52I'm a private investigator. I'm trained to look for clues.
12:56This is one.
12:58There was a vehicle parked here this morning.
13:00From the looks of the terrain, probably a four-wheel-drive vehicle.
13:04And these marks.
13:06It looks as if someone were dragging something.
13:08Whoa!
13:10What are you saying?
13:12I'm not sure... yet.
13:15Miss Holt?
13:17I thought you'd be interested to know, Miss Holt.
13:19The coroner just called.
13:21They took a .38 slug out of Doug West's skull.
13:26He was a good pilot, a good friend, a good man.
13:31Doug, old buddy, we know you're still flying.
13:33Just a little higher now, that's all.
13:36So from all of us down here, gonna miss you, Doug.
13:39This one's for you.
13:41Yes, I pray
13:44This old horse
13:46Will make it
13:48To heaven
13:52Oh, no!
14:02Would you get her out of here?
14:05He's right, Marsha. This doesn't look too good.
14:08But... but...
14:10Well, Portana, I understand completely.
14:12Look, we'll catch up later, all right?
14:17I'll see you tonight.
14:22Thormond, are you crazy?
14:24Her husband's still smoldering,
14:26and you're hugging and kissing the grieving widow!
14:28Come on, bud, will you relax?
14:30What, are people gonna think that I killed Doug West?
14:33I was on the air at the time, remember?
14:35Thanks to you.
14:42Intolerable.
14:44Yeah.
14:46Understandable.
14:48Understandable.
14:51Inexcusable.
14:53Unintentional and...
14:56Good day.
14:58Man of few words.
15:00The gentleman on the other hand did quite a few.
15:03That was Leon.
15:05Leon Pulver, the press agent.
15:08Your 8 o'clock appointment.
15:10I forgot all about it.
15:12Forgot? Laura, I've been building you up to Leon for weeks.
15:15The man was dying to meet you three hours ago.
15:17Something came up.
15:19What could be more important than meeting the man who's gonna put us in People magazine?
15:22Mr. Steele, your partner in crime
15:24stumbled across the most bizarre murder case in years.
15:28It's totally baffling.
15:30Really? Bizarre?
15:32Baffling?
15:34Hold on.
15:36Mildred?
15:38Give me Leon Pulver, will you?
15:40Thank you very much indeed. Bye.
15:43I can see the headlines now, Laura.
15:46Excellent work.
15:48Excellent work. Oh, yeah.
15:53Uh, hello, Doctor.
15:55Last week you referred to the use of vegetables.
15:58Fourteen crot?
16:00K-R-O-T. Fourteen carrots.
16:02Uh-huh.
16:04It is not important what vegetables you use.
16:06Carrots, corn on the cob, zucchini.
16:10They are all terrific.
16:12A radio cooking show?
16:14That's Dr. Pam, the phone-in sex therapist.
16:17Oh, I must remember to get the recipe book.
16:20Laura, what's the haps?
16:22Rick Badham, Remington Steele.
16:24Dino? What say we barge in on the boss?
16:29Frank. No, no, no, no. I got to him first, bad man.
16:32Now, Frank, how about this?
16:34Don't wanna go where there's no fourteen carrot
16:38Don't wanna go where I can't hear the hits
16:42Don't wanna go where there's no fourteen carrot
16:46Don't wanna go where I can't hear the hits
16:50I really wouldn't dare it
16:52Doubt that I could bear it
16:54Hear it, share it, fourteen carrot
16:59Fourteen carrot gold
17:08Lyman, that is the most idiotic thing I have ever heard.
17:11Does that mean no, Frank?
17:13Frank, these are the detectives I was telling you about.
17:16And I told you, too expensive.
17:19Hi. Jack Lyman.
17:21Ryman Lyman, Jingles Incorporated.
17:23Do you need a snappy promo?
17:25Actually, I was thinking... No.
17:27Oh, no. Forget it.
17:29Frank, think about Doug.
17:31Oh, Doug was an idiot.
17:33He drove a plane and looked at traffic.
17:35Is that a job for a grown man?
17:37Dick's?
17:39Uh-uh. Have sex, we'll travel.
17:42Vegetable lady?
17:44No.
17:46This is the last straw, Dick's.
17:48I have done everything you've asked to promote this miserable station.
17:51I give free advice at Folsom Prison.
17:54I got in the ring to rap with professional wrestlers.
17:57But I have to draw the line somewhere.
18:00You got a point, Doc?
18:02I am a professional, an eminent psychologist.
18:06I do not do demolition derbies!
18:09Oh, you deal with anger and frustration?
18:11Demolition derbies deal with anger and frustration?
18:13What's the problem?
18:15Daddy is a sicko, Mama is one, too
18:18You got a social problem and you don't know what to do
18:21You turn to 14 karat when you're really in a jam
18:25Oh!
18:27Well, it's wham! Bam!
18:29Thank you, Dr. Pam.
18:32I quit!
18:35I'm going to cable!
18:37Well, you can take this job and shove it!
18:40Good riddance! And take your vegetables with you!
18:45Oh, I told you no.
18:47As a devoted listener, Mr. Steele is willing to waive all fees
18:50unless we catch the killer.
18:52Hmm.
18:54Well, a true humanitarian.
18:58Good hunting, Mr. Steele.
19:01And now let's go to Melanie.
19:03This Batman really warms up when he gets something for nothing, doesn't he?
19:06You said you wanted to meet Tyler and Austin?
19:08They were the last ones to speak with Doug West.
19:10They're right down here.
19:12Studio C.
19:14Hey, I gotta run.
19:16Good luck. I'll catch you on the B-side.
19:19And on a lighter note, they're developing an edible greeting card.
19:22The card is said to provide good wishes and a free lunch.
19:25So when you care enough to send the very best...
19:28Now back to more of your music with Rick Badham.
19:31This is Rick the Batman Badham.
19:33You know I'm bad, and that's good.
19:35And how about this good news?
19:37Famed L.A. detective Remington Steele
19:39has just agreed to find the killer of K.R.O.T.'s own Doug West.
19:43Bad news for the bad guys.
19:45Good news for the rest of us.
19:47And now let's get to some really bad sounds
19:49that I know you're just gonna love
19:51because the bad man knows what's good for you.
19:54So much for our cover.
19:56It's the price of fame.
19:58Shall we?
20:00You'll get it, but you'll never get it out of me.
20:02They'll tell me.
20:04She'll talk when I get through with her.
20:06Help! Help! Help!
20:08Aah! Help! Help!
20:11Just when it looked like it was the end for Pauline,
20:14Rex Reynchus, local hero, burst through the door.
20:17Rex Reynchus?
20:19Remington Steele, actually.
20:21You want to stick to the script?
20:23Adulpated theater? One of my favorites.
20:25I won't tell anyone.
20:27Steele, meet, um...
20:29Bud Tyler and Norman Austin.
20:31Hello, Bud.
20:33And you are?
20:35Laura Holt. I listen to you every morning.
20:37Quick, get Frank. Tell him we found our audience.
20:39What can we do for you?
20:41We're private investigators
20:43hired by the station to find Doug West's killer.
20:48Real tragedy.
20:50I never heard an unkind word about Doug.
20:52He was a happily married man.
20:54Doug and Marcia were a happy couple.
20:57Blissful.
20:59Evidence suggests that Doug's body
21:01was placed in the plane after it landed
21:04and then it was deliberately crashed.
21:06But Doug was on the radio this morning.
21:09You spoke with him?
21:11Uh, yeah.
21:13Is it possible someone cut into your broadcast?
21:16Oh, I'm afraid that's, uh...
21:18No, it's possible.
21:20Someone could patch in through another studio
21:22or even set up some sort of remote intercept.
21:25Sounds like science fiction to me.
21:27Are you suggesting that someone was impersonating Doug West?
21:30Well, someone could have put on tapes of Doug's voice.
21:34Thank you, gentlemen.
21:36I think you've narrowed our search
21:38to someone familiar with the station.
21:40Glad to be of help.
21:45I've been giving this second thought, Laura.
21:48Bizarre and baffling though it may be,
21:50is this really the appropriate time
21:52to be tackling a case like this?
21:54We flop in front of a very large audience.
21:57Think of the publicity if we crack it.
21:59Think of the publicity if we don't crack it, more's the point.
22:02He wouldn't wait, boss.
22:04Ah, Leon.
22:06It was my guy, Brilliant O. Watt,
22:08announcing a major case on the radio.
22:10Chills, Steel. It gave me chills.
22:12Why does the man need me, I ask myself?
22:14Good question.
22:16Listen, baby, I just got off the car phone
22:18with the West Coast Bureau Chief of People.
22:20Flipped over this latest case of yours.
22:22I mean, a guy crashes an airplane
22:24with a bullet in his head.
22:26It's new, it's different,
22:28and it plays to their demographics.
22:30They liked it? What like?
22:32We're talking animal passion here.
22:34Solve this one, the cover's yours.
22:36Gotta fly. Keep me informed.
22:38Try to solve it before Thursday
22:40so we can meet their deadline.
22:44People magazine?
22:46It's to promote the agency, Mildred.
22:48I didn't hear my name mentioned.
22:50Come on, Miss Holt.
22:52Let's get cracking on the double.
22:54Whoa, whoa, whoa.
22:56I've been thinking.
22:58Our culprit has to be involved in the radio station, right?
23:00Our culprit?
23:02Am I or am I not in training?
23:04Proceed, Mildred.
23:06Okay. Logically, someone has to go undercover
23:08at the radio station, someone crafty,
23:10someone who could blend in.
23:12Scratch that. Mr. Steel and I
23:14have already been seen by everyone there.
23:16Miss Holt,
23:18I think we have, uh,
23:20created a monster here.
23:22I give you full credit, Mr. Steel.
23:26Dr. Krebs, you're on the air.
23:28It's my husband. He's playing around.
23:30How long you been married?
23:3228 years. Children?
23:34Three. He's a louse. Soak him for everything he's got.
23:36Dr. Krebs, you're on the air.
23:38My boyfriend likes me to sing his college fight songs
23:40when we make love.
23:42He's sick. Dump him.
23:44Dr. Krebs, you're on the air.
23:48I'm going blind,
23:50and she's playing Sigmund Freud, P.I.
23:52Well, you're the one who encouraged her
23:54to spread her wings.
23:56Yes, but not at the expense of the nest.
23:58I mean, what happened to good old Mildred?
24:00Sweet, but dory and servile.
24:02She found out
24:04her boss is a fraud, remember?
24:08Sometimes the truth can be so, uh,
24:10unnecessary.
24:12I don't mean
24:14to inconvenience you, Mr. Steel,
24:16but focus on our background check of Doug West.
24:18Mm-hmm.
24:20Sounds like a money-grubbing bimbo to me.
24:22Dump her,
24:24or start talking prenuptial agreement.
24:26Dr. Krebs, you're on the air.
24:28I'm 50 years old
24:30and own a prosperous line of clothing stores.
24:32I was widowed last year.
24:34Unfortunately, the only women I find interested in me
24:36are young things after my money.
24:38Where can I go to find a mature woman
24:40who will look beyond my wealth and social standing?
24:42Give me your number. I'll get right back to you.
24:47I see we're, uh,
24:49ready for a news break.
24:51I'll be back in five, and remember,
24:53Dr. Krebs is always in for you.
24:55One of L.A.'s largest indoor malls
24:57closed its doors today
24:59following a series of bizarre mishaps
25:01that ended in the arrest of its owner
25:03for murder.
25:05The mall, one of the most expensive
25:07and closed shopping areas in Southern California,
25:09was plagued from its inception.
25:11A million-dollar robbery,
25:13followed by several disruptions,
25:16created a major scandal
25:18from which the project could never recover.
25:20Turning to sports,
25:22in regional basketball action last night,
25:24John, the slammer Hensdale
25:26stuffed the Titans 127 to 98,
25:28hitting from inside...
25:34I think we got this one locked up.
25:36Let's huddle.
25:46I got our motive.
25:48Mm-hmm.
25:50Okay.
25:52Your typical love triangle.
25:54Boy meets girl. Girl is married.
25:56Boy kills husband.
25:58Boy and girl live happily ever after.
26:00Could we assign names to these boys and girls?
26:02Norman Austin and Mrs. Doug West.
26:04You're kidding.
26:06I caught them in the middle of a very hot embrace.
26:09Buddy heat.
26:11It certainly was.
26:13Kathleen Turner, William Hurt, Warner Brothers, 1981.
26:15Mm.
26:17A man and a woman plot to kill the woman's husband
26:19in order to make it look like an accident.
26:21What did you kids dig up?
26:23Uh, it seems that our Mrs. West
26:25is the sole beneficiary
26:27of a very large life insurance policy.
26:29It could be a very nice windfall
26:31for a fading disc jockey facing forced retirement.
26:34I found out that Tyler and Austin are losing audience.
26:37Good work, Tyler.
26:39I found out that Tyler and Austin are losing audience.
26:42Good work, Mildred.
26:44But you're overlooking the man's alibi.
26:46Norman Austin was on the air when the plane blew up.
26:49I heard him.
27:01It can't be Norman Austin.
27:03I've listened to him forever.
27:05The only thing he's guilty of is making bad jokes.
27:09That'll pay it in theater.
27:11What about it?
27:13Bud does all those silly voices.
27:15It's both of them, Tyler and Austin.
27:17Mr. Steele, I think People magazine
27:19has turned your mind to mush.
27:21No, no, no, I really think I have something.
27:33What are you grinning at, Mr. Steele?
27:35Someone just tried to kill us.
27:37Precisely, Miss Holt.
27:39We must be on the right track.
28:08Tyler and Austin
28:10Waking up early
28:15Starting your day
28:17You'll see your day wake
28:20Good morning, Los Angeles.
28:22Norman Austin here, along with Bud Tyler
28:24and this staggering statistic.
28:26Somewhere in this country, there's a woman
28:28giving birth every one and a half seconds.
28:30Loose woman.
28:32You know, Norm, all this talk about sushi,
28:35I finally went out and got some last night.
28:37Did you like it?
28:39Well, I didn't know.
28:41But I got it home, cooked it up,
28:43and it didn't taste half bad.
28:45Slick operation.
28:47You win, Mr. Steele.
28:49How long have you been here?
28:51Long enough.
28:53For those of you ready to leave for work,
28:55let's throw open the K.R.O.T. window
28:57and check out the traffic situation.
28:59Norman didn't come in yesterday morning, did he?
29:01No.
29:03You covered for him, right?
29:05Yeah.
29:07Not real pretty, is it, Bud?
29:10Take my advice, folks,
29:12and stay off the freeways and stay in bed,
29:14because here come the hits.
29:16Norman, Norman, I'm glad you're here.
29:18What am I gonna do?
29:20Play the record, Bud.
29:22I didn't want to believe it.
29:24Believe what?
29:26We know about you and Mrs. West.
29:28Well, adultery's such a killer in this day and age.
29:31And we know about the life insurance.
29:33Very clever. Thousands of people hear you on the radio
29:35while you're out there disposing of Doug West's body.
29:37I'm very fortunate that you have a very talented partner
29:40with the ability to imitate your voice.
29:42Oh, now, wait a minute.
29:44I confess, I confess!
29:46He did it.
29:48Bud.
29:50Norm, I did all I could. She wasn't worth it.
29:52She wasn't worth it.
29:54Bud, you've finally gone crazy.
29:56Where were you yesterday morning?
29:58I was with Marsha, okay?
30:00Did she see you?
30:02Of course not.
30:04A woman's honor is at stake.
30:09Can two killers alibi each other?
30:12I did not kill Doug West.
30:14Norm.
30:16Bud, will you stop blubbering?
30:18I suppose you're gonna deny running us down last night in your car, yeah?
30:20Last night I was at a lodge meeting.
30:22You can check that one out.
30:24I drove the car.
30:26What?
30:28I wanted to protect you, Norm.
30:30I wanted to scare them off.
30:34You should have confided in me, Norm.
30:36I'm your partner.
30:38I care more about you than Marsha West ever could.
30:40Your compassion is gonna put us both away, nitwit.
30:43I don't think you two should say another word
30:45until your lawyer is present.
30:47Can we at least finish our show?
30:50Hey, buddy.
30:52Put it here.
30:54Yeah, that's super.
30:56Okay, steal.
30:58Try the pipe.
31:00All right.
31:02Now, uh, Miss Holt,
31:04could you just slip in over here, please?
31:07Miss Holt?
31:11I'm ready.
31:13In a minute, sweetheart.
31:15I'll be right back.
31:17I'm ready.
31:19In a minute, sweetheart. In a minute.
31:23Uh, Miss Holt,
31:25I think our readers would like to know
31:28what it's like to work with such a sexy, brilliant man
31:31as Mr. Steele.
31:36Excuse me.
31:42Obviously overcome.
31:45Remington Steele,
31:47soon to be on newsstands everywhere.
31:53Ah. Laura?
31:55I just can't believe they did it.
31:58Uh, Laura, as we've found with the Atomic Man case,
32:02our image of cherished celebrities
32:04can be a cruel distortion of the truth.
32:06Exactly.
32:08I thought Tyler and Austin were bright, upbeat guys,
32:10but they're just a pair of over-the-hill disc jockeys.
32:12Precisely.
32:14Too worn down and too dumb
32:16to be able to pull off an ingenious crime
32:18like the one we're dealing with.
32:20Yes?
32:22Norman Austin on the phone from jail,
32:24and he wants to make a full confession.
32:37Is this what you call a formal confession?
32:39Shut up, bud.
32:41You brought us in. I figured you should be the ones
32:43to hear the real story.
32:45Tell him, Norman.
32:47I will, but just don't worry.
32:50Look, there's no reason to keep Bud here any longer.
32:53I killed Doug West by myself.
32:57Okay, Norman, you killed Doug how?
33:00Shot him.
33:02Where?
33:04In the head. It all happened so fast.
33:07When you boarded the plane yesterday,
33:09I addressed you to the air controller.
33:11Yeah, I saluted.
33:13No, you didn't. You gave the thumbs-up.
33:15Right. Right, my famous thumbs-up gesture.
33:17Then you flew to Malibu Canyon.
33:19That's right. What did you do there?
33:21I bailed out. No, you landed.
33:23But I thought of bailing out.
33:25Okay, let's just end this little charade right now, shall we?
33:27Neither of you killed Doug West.
33:29Does that mean we can go?
33:31I'm afraid not.
33:33Why would you try something so foolish
33:35as a false confession, Norman?
33:39I can take a bum rap.
33:41And God knows this place is much worse than the station.
33:44It's better ours, too.
33:47But look at him.
33:49He won't last a month in here.
33:52He's my partner.
33:55He's been the butt of my jokes for 20 years.
33:57He's never complained.
33:59He's covered for me more times than I can remember.
34:01He wouldn't be in jail if he hadn't tried to protect me.
34:06I thought it was time to finally try to pay him back.
34:10That was beautiful, Norman.
34:12Shut up, butt.
34:16Leon, Leon, will you calm down, Leon?
34:19Look, there's no need to kill yourself.
34:21No, no, there's no need to kill me either.
34:24Look, we can still wrap this whole thing up by Thursday night.
34:27Okay? Fine.
34:30Get inspired, will you, Laura?
34:32This is the tightest frame I've ever encountered.
34:35Whoever's behind it had to know
34:37that Norm visited Marsha every other morning.
34:42Now all we need to do is ferret someone out and pin it on them.
34:49Hello?
34:54Got something for you, Mr. Fletcher.
34:57Got something for you, Miss Holt.
34:59And have I got something for you.
35:01Hey!
35:03Got a question
35:05Got a question or dysfunction
35:07Call off preps
35:09You need help.
35:11Buzz off.
35:17I thought you'd be interested in knowing
35:19who's moved into Tyler and Austin's drive-time slot.
35:22Who?
35:23Rick Bottom.
35:26Oh.
35:32We're clutching at straws, Laura.
35:34You want that magazine cover?
35:36Mm-hmm.
35:37I'm clutching, I'm clutching.
35:39But Rick was the one who hired us.
35:41What better way to deflect suspicion?
35:43Yes, but if he wanted the drive-time slot so badly,
35:45why not kill Tyler and Austin outright
35:47instead of framing them for Doug West's murder?
35:49I don't know, Mr. Steele.
35:51What do you say we follow our only lead and ask questions later?
35:54Maybe, Miss Holt.
36:01Okay, Bottom.
36:03Let's see just how bad you really are.
36:24Okay.
36:55Um, don't get too close, Laura, okay?
36:59Relax, will you?
37:01You're making me nervous.
37:16Do we know them?
37:20I hope not.
37:22Please pull over!
37:24You've just won the K.R.O.T. sticker giveaway!
37:27Go away! We don't want any stickers!
37:30Please pull over!
37:53Aah!
38:01Your bumper sticker! You win!
38:03We don't want to win!
38:05We don't listen to you!
38:07It's a trip for two to Hawaii!
38:10Laura?
38:12No!
38:23No!
38:47Albums?
38:49Cool Fire?
38:51True.
38:53And what's your favorite radio station?
38:56Couldn't you listen to FM like everyone else?
39:14Brilliant work.
39:16I thought it was awful.
39:18Not the music. The quality of the copy.
39:20It's a total counterfeit.
39:22I checked with that record company,
39:24and that album isn't due out for another month yet.
39:26Only a handful of DJs were given promotional copies.
39:29Mildred swiped this one from the station.
39:32It's a perfect setup.
39:34Rick copies promotional albums.
39:36Oh.
39:38And when the real album is released,
39:40he's ready to flood the market with counterfeits.
39:42What a wonderfully ingenious scheme.
39:44Low overhead, high return.
39:46A youthful market with a disposable income
39:49continually looking for a sound that's easy to dance to.
39:52A man could make millions.
39:54You're absolutely right, Laura.
39:56What's this got to do with Doug West?
39:58That's what we're going to find out at the warehouse
40:01where Rick Badom picked up these albums.
40:19♪
40:50I think I got something.
40:56From the looks of these entries,
40:58Doug was flying a lot more than traffic reports.
41:01Of course. Huh.
41:03The plane would expand the distribution
41:05and make it almost impossible to trace anything back to the plant.
41:09According to this,
41:11everything was being split three ways.
41:14We know Doug and Rick.
41:16Now all we need is the third man.
41:20Well, if it isn't Orson Welles,
41:23I can't be of any immediate help.
41:25Third man, Joseph Cartman.
41:27I got it the first time.
41:29Oh.
41:31Well, I'm going to have to ask you
41:33to help me find the third man.
41:35I got it the first time.
41:37Oh.
41:39Oh!
41:41Ahem.
41:58♪
42:06Rick?
42:08Can you hear me?
42:10Ah.
42:12Bad news for the bad man.
42:16Rick, why did you kill Doug West?
42:20Oh.
42:22I was in the hospital.
42:24I was in the hospital.
42:26I was in the hospital.
42:28I was in the hospital.
42:30I was in the hospital.
42:32Oh.
42:34I was in the studio.
42:38Patched in tapes.
42:43Doc got greedy,
42:45threatened to go to the police.
42:48Who killed him, Rick?
42:50Who killed Doug West?
42:52Who did this to you?
42:54Ah.
42:58♪
43:00And at 7-0-2, this is Rick, the bad man,
43:03bat him.
43:05You know I'm bad, and that's bad.
43:07No, that's good.
43:09And boy, does my head hurt.
43:11I really got clunked yesterday,
43:13but I'm all right now.
43:15I'm good, and I've got
43:17quite a bad story to tell you,
43:19but more about that later.
43:25Ah.
43:27No reason we have to listen.
43:29I hope this works.
43:31Don't worry. When the killer hears Rick,
43:33he'll come back to finish what he started.
43:35And we'll nail him.
43:37Okay.
43:39Careful, Mr. Steele.
43:44For all you Tyler and Austin fans,
43:46the bad man has it on good authority
43:48that your favorite DJs were released last night.
43:52♪
43:54♪
43:56I can say I don't care
43:58But I'm not a fool
44:00Oh, it's hard finding
44:02Someone as good as you
44:10Mrs. West? Out of my way.
44:12But you couldn't have killed your husband.
44:14You were with Norman.
44:16Where's Rick, madam?
44:18Mrs. West, I'm afraid you don't...
44:20You framed my Norman for it.
44:22Mrs. West, give me the gun.
44:24You're not going to shoot anyone.
44:26Aah!
44:28No one's gonna stop me!
44:32Aah! Mrs. West, uh...
44:34You couldn't have killed your husband.
44:36You were with Norman.
44:40Mrs. West, put down that gun!
44:42I thought she was with Norman.
44:44Aah!
44:46She was!
44:48Then why is she shooting at us?
44:50She's distraught.
44:53How many is that?
44:55I've been too busy ducking to count!
45:13Come on.
45:18Aah!
45:24Aah!
45:40Ryman Lyman?
45:42Bud?
45:44Norman.
45:46I want to thank all you fine folks out there at KROT...
45:50who gave me the chance to talk to all you troubled and perverted souls out there.
45:55Though I'm leaving the airwaves, don't despair...
45:58because I'm working on my own advice book, Candid Krebs.
46:02So long.
46:04Thanks for stopping by, Doc Krebs.
46:06Okay.
46:08You're listening to Tyler and Austin.
46:10Yes, we're still on the air.
46:12And we want to thank all those listeners who wrote us while we were in jail.
46:15I didn't see those letters.
46:17No, I'm sorry. I got it right here.
46:20And speaking of thanks, this next tune's for two special people out there...
46:25Remington Steele and Laura Holt.
46:28I'm a witness to another crime
46:33So that little cretin Lyman killed Doug West.
46:36Lyman was the mastermind behind the counterfeiting operation...
46:39only he couldn't hold it together.
46:41Doug West got greedy, so Lyman killed him.
46:44He forced Rick into helping him cover up the murder...
46:46but then Lyman got scared that Rick might talk.
46:49That's what they were fighting about when Rick got killed.
46:51Too bad about Rick.
46:53Wasn't much of a DJ, but he worked cheap.
46:56Oh, what the hell. Show must go on.
46:59Say, you don't think you could lend me Dr. Krebs for a little while, do you?
47:04What kind of bucks we talking?
47:06On the other hand, sex therapist or dime a dozen.
47:09Wait, I'm easy.
47:11Hey, Leon.
47:13Turn down the sound clouds, baby. The cover's off.
47:15Why?
47:17New York liked it better when the two old DJs did it.
47:19But this version's stronger. I mean, it's more convoluted.
47:22Too convoluted. Who can follow it?
47:24What about the counterfeit record angle?
47:27They did that story two months ago. Old news.
47:30We were so close, baby.
47:33You approached greatness, then you veered left.
47:38The truth happened to get in the way.
47:40There's been a lesson to you.
47:43Ciao.
47:46Don't be too hard on yourself, Mr. Steele.
47:49Oh, what's a few more million adoring fans, more or less, eh?
47:53Would you settle for just one?
47:56Hmm. Well, Miss Holt, as they say in the parlance,
48:00let's blow this pop stand, shall we, eh?
48:02I thought you'd never ask.
48:04Yeah, let's go.
48:10clarinet, bass, & drums play in bright rhythm
48:13clarinet, bass, & drums play in bright rhythm
