( calm theme playing )
( mysterious theme playing )
All set. He's coming out.
Sure? Sure, I'm sure.
I saw him, didn't I?
Now let's put our boards away.
Let's do it.
Hey, Billy.
We'd better let
him drive away first.
What's the matter?
You guys scared?
No. No.
Then let's do it.
( car starts ) Hey,
wait a minute.
He's... He's coming.
Just act like he's not there.
He never noticed us.
Hey, Billy.
You think he really
keeps a million in there?
You think he really has
that much right in his house?
Sure. Easy.
Ten times that much maybe.
My old man says he's probably
living off stocks and stuff.
Never spends anything.
Got the first nickel
he ever made.
Come on.
( dramatic theme playing )
Come on, Mark. Get up there.
Hurry.
Come on, Tommy.
Get up there. Hurry.
Come on, move faster
than that. We got...
When we get inside...
how do we know where to look?
We look for a safe.
If it's regular money,
look for a safe.
It's in gold or something,
try to find a box.
A pirate's chest, like.
Yeah, or an old trunk maybe.
But isn't it... like stealing?
Oh, come on.
Billy's dad said he's
like a miser or something.
Money doesn't mean
anything to guys like that.
Okay. Eh...
But... well, what
about the other one?
Everybody says
there's two of them.
Not anymore. He died.
How do you know for sure?
My dad said.
Let's go.
I don't know.
There's nothing to be
scared of. He's gone.
But... shouldn't
somebody stay here?
In case he comes back.
Chicken.
( suspenseful theme playing )
( soft music playing
over speakers )
( suspenseful theme playing )
Just like upstairs.
BILLY: Guy must
be crazy, all right,
keeping all this junk.
We're not gonna be
able to find any safe, Billy.
Not if we don't look.
Still scared, aren't you?
I... I just keep thinking
about what your dad said.
About that girl
they found before.
I told you, the guy
that did that's dead.
Besides, that was when
my dad was still a kid.
Come on.
( sighs )
One dollar and 78 cents.
Uh-huh.
( dings )
One dollar and 78 cents.
Thank you.
( coins jingle )
( door closes )
( sighs ) There
ought to be a law.
Hm. Yeah.
Well, I mean it.
A child molester.
A murderer still walking
the streets after all this time.
Well, he's still walking
the streets all right.
Comes in here every day.
There ought to be a law.
( sighs )
( mysterious theme playing )
Oh.
Case you meet any more bears.
Go on. There.
( dramatic theme playing )
Hey, Mark.
It's just a big doll.
Hey, Mark, wait up.
It's nothing. It's just a dummy.
( blows )
( dog barks )
Let's get out of here, okay?
But we gotta find the money.
There's no money.
There's just junk.
There's gotta be
money. Dad said.
Maybe he's wrong.
You saying he's a liar?
I'm just saying maybe
he doesn't know for sure.
Same thing. No, it's not.
Is. Okay. Maybe there is money.
I don't care. I just
wanna get out of here.
Come on. Chicken.
I don't care what
you call me. I'm going.
Chicken!
Chicken!
What's the matter now, chicken?
( whispering ): Quiet.
I heard something.
What? I don't know.
Like somebody
walking up to that door.
I don't hear nothing.
Shh.
( lock jiggling )
( gasps )
( action theme playing )
( loud crash )
Run!
Come on, Tom.
Harlan's back.
Where's Mark? Just come on.
( dramatic theme playing )
( bell dinging )
( hums )
Tom?
Tom.
( humming )
Tom?
Oh, ho-ho. There you are.
Ha. Heh-heh.
Miss me, did you, old boy?
Uh-huh. Well, I got your supper.
Yes, sir.
Huh?
Your favorite this time.
They had it back in stock.
( chuckles )
Oh... Oh, and I've
got something else.
What about that?
Do you know what that is?
Well, that's off
a 1934 La Salle.
Do you know what the odds are
of finding one of
those these days?
Hey, let's show it
to Donald, shall we?
Okay, come on.
Hm.
( mysterious theme playing )
Well. Must have
forgotten to lock it.
Donald?
Donald?
Donald?
Donald?
( whimpering )
Donald, heh.
It's all right, Donald.
I'm home. I'm...
Oh.
( police radio squawking )
Okay, here they are.
Get the Giants score yet?
No.
Let me have that.
These look good.
Yeah, plenty of hot sauce.
Why are you concerned?
It's only spring training.
Well, that's where it
all happens, buddy boy.
That's where you find out
who's got it and who doesn't.
Come on, come
on. It's in the clutch.
September, October
that's when it counts.
That's when my
boys come through.
Your boys? This is
the year of the Giants.
DISPATCHER: Possible
288 at 2331 Leavenworth.
Mm. Hold it.
Repeating. All units, possible
288 at 2331 Leavenworth.
Units in the
vicinity to respond.
Northern one,
northern two, come in.
Inspectors 8-1. We're
at Leavenworth and Bay.
We'll respond.
Ten-four, 8-1. See the
woman, Mrs. Dunham.
Ten-four.
Still don't know how you do it.
What? How you pick
up the codes while
listening to something else
and talking at the same time.
What? Crime against a kid?
Heh-heh.
You don't forget that
one. Come on. Move it.
( siren blaring )
( jazzy theme playing )
I know it's something awful.
He'd... He'd never
stay out this late.
Mark's always here when
I get home from work.
Now what time is that?
Five-thirty. I get off
at 5, stop for groceries,
and... Mark's always here.
Has the place mats on, and...
table all set.
Ever since his father died.
You say he usually plays with
the same boys every afternoon?
Yes. But I asked them both.
They didn't see Mark today.
Well, maybe we ought
to talk to them anyway.
Well, what do I do?
What if you can't find him?
Mrs. Dunham... we're gonna have
the whole neighborhood searched.
We'll put out an
all-points bulletin.
And we'll give your
description to Missing Persons.
Oh, I know something's happened.
Now, you said the
names were Billy Rudolph
and Tommy Cochran.
Yes. What...? What
do I do? Go with you?
Stay here? What?
Oh, my God.
I know it's something terrible.
You wait right
here, Mrs. Dunham.
We'll keep in touch every hour.
Do you have a
family doctor? Why?
He could prescribe
something for you to relax.
I don't want a
doctor, I want my boy.
Not your fault, Donald.
It was mine.
I shouldn't have stopped
for that dang old hubcap.
I shouldn't have been out
poking around like that anyway.
I should have been
home here with you...
where I belong.
So... don't go blaming yourself.
It's not your fault.
Nobody's fault, maybe.
Uh, the way the world is.
I'll be going out again now.
Maybe a little
longer than usual.
But...
don't just sit there
blaming yourself.
( sighs )
Oh.
( sighs )
Well...
No use putting it off
any longer I guess, Tom.
( dramatic theme playing )
( jazzy theme playing )
It's on Chestnut Street, right?
Yeah. Turn left.
1637. About a block and
a half down, on your side.
Now, which kid is this?
Billy Rudolph.
No, sir. I didn't see
him after school today.
Are you sure, Billy?
MAN: Wait a minute.
Now, just hold
on. What's it take?
He said no already.
Look, the dame lives
alone with the kid.
I mean, she's got nothing
to worry about but the kid.
He's almost 13. I mean,
he's not a baby anymore.
You get what I mean?
You can understand how his
mother's concerned, can't you?
It's after 11:00,
he hasn't called.
If that was Billy...
It wouldn't be Billy.
Once is enough, right, Bill?
Yes, sir.
Did you ever do
anything like that, Billy?
Stay out and not tell your
mother anything about it?
MOM: Lieutenant...
Joe is right. Just once.
What happened? Where did you go?
I don't see what this has
got to do with anything.
If there's anywhere
that kids can go and play,
and forget about time...
we'd like to take a
look at it, that's all.
It was last year, lieutenant,
when he was playing
around that old house.
What old house?
The one on Hyde Street.
You know, where those two
brothers locked themselves up
a long time ago? What
was their name, Joe?
Yeah. It was, uh,
Edgerton. A couple kooks.
The house is near here?
Right around the corner.
A couple of blocks.
Do you boys like to play there?
I guess so.
I guess they do.
Otherwise you wouldn't have
caught that whipping, huh?
I don't go there anymore.
Well, what about Mark?
I don't know.
Well, you go to school
with him each day.
You see him.
He would've told you
whether went up there or not.
I don't know.
Look, you guys are not grilling
some hardened
criminal, you know.
I've gotta be at the docks.
I gotta shove off.
Why don't you two shove off?
I don't want my kid
standing around here,
going through this all night.
Mrs. Dunham doesn't like
going through it all night either.
Maybe your son can help.
Okay.
Billy, if you know anything,
I want you to tell these men.
Do you hear me?
Billy...
Did Mark talk to you at school
or on the way to school
about going to this old
house this afternoon?
If he did, he might
have gotten hurt, Billy.
He'd want you to tell us.
I think so.
You think so? W-what...?
You think so, what?
I think he said something
about going up
there after school.
But I told him I couldn't go.
Me and Tommy, we both
said we wouldn't go with him.
I told him about what you said
about it being dangerous.
About the girl they found there.
I told him not to do it.
The girl they found there?
Oh, yeah. That
was a long time ago.
She was, um... you know.
And her neck was broken.
Oh... Isn't that right, Joe?
That's right. One
of the brothers did it.
And they never made
them pay for it either.
I was just a kid. I
remember how my...
old man got all
steamed up about it.
Everybody in the
neighborhood was up in arms.
I think I remember
something about it.
One of them died, didn't he?
Yeah, that's right.
Right after it happened.
At least that's what
the brother says.
You ask me and that
big one's still in the house.
Why do you think that?
Oh. People have seen things.
Like what?
Like lights going on and off
when Harlan isn't there.
Like two men moving
around on different floors.
Things like that.
Okay.
Okay. Thank you.
We're gonna go
up and take a look.
DAD: You'd better do
more than just take a look.
You better tear that rattrap
down board by board,
like they should have
done 30 years ago.
There's no telling what
you're gonna find there.
( slow, dramatic theme playing )
You wanna stop by and
see that other kid, Cochran?
No. Let's talk to
the old man first.
Those kids were
playing there, all right.
The way that joker
made it sound,
no kid would wanna miss
what was going on there.
I wonder how much
that Billy really knows.
Well, he knows enough not
to tell the old man the truth.
Hey, what a way
to raise kids, huh?
Spook stories and spankings.
( exhales )
Was there any truth to
that story about the girl?
No, not... Nothing
anybody could prove.
( dramatic theme playing )
( panting )
( engine starts )
Nice going!
Not so loud. He may
have seen my U-ie.
That's different.
Our U-turns are fringe benefits.
His are illegal.
Now this has gotta be it.
Well, it looks kind of creepy.
Huh. Stick.
What?
The architecture's called stick.
You can tell by
those bay windows.
You see how they're squared off?
Must be, uh...
1885 or '90, maybe.
Well, you just put
that down in the report.
Observations like
that are gonna get you
right to the top
of the department.
( both chuckle )
Hey, you know that old
car that just made a U-turn?
Yeah, the station
wagon? The woody. Yeah.
It was parked right here.
Vintage house, vintage
car. What do you think?
Well, I think I'm gonna
write that in the report myself.
Come on, hang with it.
( suspenseful theme playing )
( tires screeching )
Pick it up.
Hang with him. Let's
see what he's up to.
You got the flashlight?
Yeah.
Take it easy.
Hold it.
KELLER: He means
drop the shovel.
Are you Edgerton?
Harlan Edgerton?
Mike, give me some light.
STONE: What are you up to?
Look at this.
( eerie theme playing )
( dramatic theme playing )
( sighs )
Mr. Edgerton.
This is Mr. O'Brien.
Mr. O'Brien is with the
district attorney's office.
Mr. Edgerton, I understand
you don't wanna speak to anyone.
Now, you have
that right, of course,
but I wanted to be certain
that you've been made aware
of the charge against you.
The charge is
murder, Mr. Edgerton.
Are you aware of that?
Mr. Edgerton.
We're not trying to
force anything out of you.
All we want to make sure
is that you know what
is happening to you.
You're going to be tried
for the murder of
that boy, Mr. Edgerton.
Do you have an attorney,
or would you like the
court to appoint one for you?
Okay, Mike. I'll
get somebody on it.
I think he understands
what's going on.
He's just not about
to say anything.
Did you get a warrant
to go into the house?
Yeah, Steve's picking it up now.
O'BRIEN: Well, I'll be
in my office all afternoon.
Please.
Please.
Yes, what?
The house. Don't go in it.
Oh, we'll have to.
No, please.
Not without me.
Why not?
I'm sorry, Mr. Edgerton.
Let me go with you, please.
Nope.
You're gonna be
here for a long time.
How long?
Well, you'll be
arraigned tomorrow.
We'll schedule a
hearing sometime
in the next eight or ten weeks.
And the trial won't
be for several months.
Oh, no. You...
You can't do that.
He needs me, and I...
Who? Who needs you?
My cat.
My cat needs me.
Your cat?
Mr. Edgerton.
You had a brother.
It was reported that he
had died some 30 years ago.
Was that report accurate?
Is he dead?
He's been alive and living
in that house all these years?
( slow, dramatic theme playing )
I don't believe it.
( chuckles )
I really don't believe it.
Rudolph said the old
man collected trash.
Looks like he imported
the whole city dump.
I don't know, buddy boy.
There is junk.
And there is junk.
Yeah, but this, uh...
This is bananas time.
( chuckles )
I mean, this old guy
is totally out of his tree.
And my guess is
that when his brother
wouldn't go out
into the world...
Harlan decided to
bring the world in to him.
Yeah.
Say, there must be a staircase
around here somewhere.
You go look that
way, and I'll...
I'll see what I
can find over here.
Better take a road map.
( cans clattering )
Mike?!
Don't worry.
Some cans fell over.
Mike?
Yeah.
Mike? STONE: Mm?
Found the stairs.
Found these too. What's that?
Road maps.
Come on. Let's go.
( sedate theme playing )
It's like a...
It's like a boat in a bottle.
Take a look at all this.
It's a playroom.
King-size nursery.
( keys jingling )
( cat meows )
( dramatic theme playing )
He was there, wasn't he?
In that upstairs room?
Whatever you were doing
or trying to do, it's over.
We went through
that whole house.
We know that two of
you were living there.
Now did your
brother kill that boy?
No. He didn't kill him.
KELLER: Did you?
No.
Well, he was dead.
You were trying to bury him.
Well, I had to.
Why?
Because.
Because if you said anything,
we'd know he was alive?
Why did you want the world
to think that he had died?
Was it because you thought
that he had killed
that girl 30 years ago?
No, I never thought
he killed her.
Then why?
Well, it...
It was people. That's why.
All those people.
They thought he did it.
There were
threats... letters, calls.
Just people.
It was all over when he died.
So he stayed in that
house for 30 years?
Thirty-two.
You see, he was aboard
the U.S.S. Oklahoma
when it was sunk
at Pearl Harbor.
He was a lieutenant commander.
What he saw, what
he went through, well...
He never got over it.
He came home from the
hospital, drew all the curtains...
wouldn't go out.
Wouldn't let
anybody in except me.
I... I brought on...
some of that myself, I guess.
I didn't mix with
people very much.
I kept to myself, my books.
Anyway, when...
little Tina was found
in the lot next door,
they were all ready to say
it was Donald who killed her.
Tina? You knew her?
Oh. Sure. I... I...
I knew all the children then.
I worked in the library.
Used to help 'em
find their books
and reference
materials for reports.
Well...
people put that
together, along with...
Donald's size
and... his strength...
and his strangeness.
They said it was murder.
Do you know for a fact
that he didn't kill this Tina?
Well...
I answered all those questions
30 years ago, lieutenant.
Forgive me for having to
ask you those questions again.
But I wasn't here then.
I was somewhere in the Pacific,
trying to do something
about what happened to
your brother at Pearl Harbor.
We're trying to help him now.
Mr. Edgerton...
are you sure that your brother
didn't kill either
of these two kids?
I used to think I was sure.
This time... I don't know.
Well, where did
you find the boy?
In the attic.
Was he with your brother?
Yes.
But he didn't do
it. He couldn't have.
That's not for us to decide.
We've got to bring him in.
Now, will you help us
and give us a description?
Oh, he won't go with you.
That's why he ran away,
don't you see? He's...
He's frightened.
He frightens so easily.
Well, right now
there's a lot of parents
that are frightened.
And we gotta get him.
Well, would you take
me with you? Please?
I can talk to him.
Nobody else can.
Please.
Get O'Brien.
Still alive? I've got a copy
of his death certificate.
Harlan bought it. How?
Family doctor
listed a heart attack.
Then Harlan and his brother
gave him the entire inheritance,
except for the house.
The file says there
was a military funeral.
Was that fake too?
Bronze casket loaded with
200 pounds of
National Geographics.
( sighs )
I don't know, Steve.
The funeral he was preparing
last night was for real.
Whether he killed that boy
or not, he's an accessory.
Jerry, look. Look.
The story's hit the
papers already, right?
Now, there is
gonna be a real panic
unless we get him back today.
Harlan with us will make our
job that much easier. That's all.
Okay. I'll see what I can do.
MAN ( on TV ): And the coroner's
office confirms that this death too
was the result of a broken neck.
A coincidence?
Or a terrible act committed
by a compulsive killer
who should have been
incarcerated 30 years ago?
That is the mystery to be
solved by police authorities.
And the issue to be weighed
by citizens in the
Bay Area today
as the search continues
for Donald Edgerton,
the 62-year-old man
who was once suspect
in the killing of another.
( turns TV off )
Hey. My television
show is coming back on.
What's the name of that
cop that was here last night?
Um... Lieutenant Stone, I think.
Yeah, Stone. Yeah.
What are you doing?
Last night he said to call
him if I thought of anything.
I just thought of something.
( phone rings )
Yes. Lieutenant Stone.
Oh. Mr. Rudolph.
Well, look, I don't like the
idea any more than you do.
But you're gonna have to
come up with facts than that
if you want us to
collar the suspect.
Facts?
Listen, I'll give you facts.
You clowns let that nut
get away 30 years ago,
and now you're letting
him get away again.
That is facts.
Look, Mr. Rudolph...
Listen, I told you last night
what was going on in that house.
I'm telling you
now, find that nut.
If you can't do your job,
maybe it's just time
some of us poor slobs
who you're supposed
to be protecting
will do your job for you.
( hangs up )
Listen, I got
something... Never mind.
Just got a call from Rudolph.
What?
Fellow like that can
make your day for you.
What do you got?
Psychiatric report
on Donald Edgerton
from the VA Hospital.
Schizoid. Totally withdrawn.
Couldn't hurt anybody.
Guess Harlan was right.
( phone rings )
Buddy boy...
all we know is that Harlan
found him with the boy,
and the boy had a broken neck.
Right. Now the
whole world knows,
and all hell is
gonna break loose
unless we can collar him quick.
What's holding up O'Brien?
Where is he?
Will you get on the phone
and find out where he is?
And find out who
told the news media
about the, uh...
coroner's report.
Whoever did should be bounced.
Oh, never mind. Here he is.
Well, what's the verdict?
Well, the DA chewed
on it hard, Mike.
And what did he spit up?
Well, he did some choking first
on some pretty grim stats.
You know there have been 51
unsolved missing-juvenile cases
in the Bay Area since that
girl was killed 30 years ago?
Now, wait a minute,
Jerry. Wait a minute.
Are you saying he's a
suspect in all those cases?
The public is.
I got an earful from
that kind of public.
The point is, you don't have
a case without a suspect.
And Harlan is the
guy that can help us.
The point is,
people are gonna be
screaming for the DA's head
if he lets you just waltz
another Edgerton brother
out of his cell.
You saying we can't have Harlan?
Not officially. ( phone rings )
What does that mean?
It means we've set
his arraignment up
from tomorrow
afternoon to 5:00 today.
Well, how does that help us?
Well, it's only 1:30 now.
Someone has to escort him
from his cell in the basement
to the courtroom
on the fourth floor.
You think you can manage
that between now and 5:00?
Bring the car to
the side... Right.
I'll get Harlan.
You know...
you ought to
really practice law.
You know that, O'Brien?
You have a cute way with words.
So now, um... Now,
it's gonna be my head
somebody's gonna be
screaming for if this gets out, right?
Officially.
Oh, of course. Officially.
( sighs )
Lieutenant. You
can come out now,
for a couple of hours,
anyway. Oh, thank you.
Thank you very much, lieutenant.
And I remembered
something I forgot to tell you.
Yeah, what's that?
The skylight was open.
Skylight?
Yes. And that must be
how the boy came in.
The skylight.
And that's maybe what
happened. He slipped and fell.
Is that where you found
him? At the base of the ladder?
No, no. He... He
was on an old bed.
But... But Donald
could've carried him to it,
could have tried to make him
comfortable, tried to help him.
Oh, that could be what
happened, couldn't it?
Is that what Donald told you?
Oh, he won't talk. He
hasn't since the war.
But he was crying.
He was crying real hard.
Oh, it had to be the skylight,
lieutenant. It had to be.
( suspenseful theme playing )
Come on. Come on up.
Come on.
( suspenseful theme playing )
Look, don't stop.
Go on down to Rudolph's.
I wanna ask Billy a
few more questions.
Hey, Joe. Look at
this. An iron girdle.
We're not here for that.
Come on.
Well, he knows we're here.
Junk.
Come on, let's go
downstairs and find him.
Hey, Joe, come here.
You know what they had to do?
They had to bring that
up here piece by piece.
Well, that's how they're
gonna take it out of here.
Hey, that was a
good catch, Billy.
Could I talk to
you for a minute?
I'll see you later, Billy.
STONE: Oh, Tommy.
I've been wanting
to talk to you too.
Will you come here?
I'm Lieutenant Stone.
There's somebody I'd
like the two of you to meet.
Billy! You get in the
house this minute.
No, that's all right,
Mrs. Rudolph.
He's in my custody.
I wanted the boys to meet
him before he went to jail.
Do you mind?
Oh, I guess not.
Come here.
See?
He's gonna spend the
rest of his life in prison
unless he can prove
that he and his brother
didn't do anything to harm Mark.
Lieutenant, I don't see...
Mrs. Rudolph, please.
As far as I'm concerned,
he's spent enough
time in prison.
The kind people
don't know about.
Except people who have
been in that house maybe.
I told you.
I've never been in there before.
Tommy, you been there?
Mike and I were there.
It's different, all right.
But there's a
reason it's like that.
You boys ever hear
of Pearl Harbor?
You did? Well...
Mr. Edgerton's brother was on
a ship that was bombed there.
It was a pretty awful thing.
The kind of thing that
could make you afraid.
It was so bad that you
could become afraid
for the rest of your life.
That's what happened
to his brother.
That's why he wouldn't
leave the house,
because he was afraid.
Billy, you ever been afraid?
Everybody is sometimes.
That's right.
When you're afraid, you don't
act the way you normally do...
do you?
I guess.
When was the last time
you were afraid, Billy?
Tommy?
Was it when you were
in the Edgerton house?
Come on, Tommy, look at me.
Or was it when Billy told
you not to talk about it?
Lieutenant, I really don't
see what this is all about.
Now I know you're
calling Billy a liar.
Well, I'm gonna tell you what
it's all about, Mrs. Rudolph.
I'm afraid.
I'm afraid that these two boys
are gonna wake up someday
and become men...
and remember what they
did to this man and his brother.
And then suddenly realize
who the real criminals are.
And I think you ought
to think about that too.
Well, okay, fellas, that's...
That's about it, huh?
Billy, we gotta tell
them. We gotta.
Now, you were there
with Mark, weren't you?
I don't know what happened.
I was up on the roof waiting,
and... And I waited a long time.
And... And then I heard
this loud crash, and...
And Billy came up alone.
Up the skylight?
Yeah. And...
And Billy said
that if I ever told...
It was an accident.
Billy.
It was an accident.
We saw him and we ran.
And Mark fell off the ladder.
I didn't wait for him.
( sobs ): I was scared.
Now, that's all right, son.
It's all right.
It's all over now.
No.
Joe and some of his friends...
they went to his house
to find his brother.
( dramatic theme playing )
( grunts ) ( smashes on ground )
Get the kerosene from the truck.
If he's in here someplace,
we'll... We'll burn him out
with the rest of the junk.
Okay.
What's he doing out of jail?
Rudolph, you get out.
Get out.
He's making room for you.
You're under arrest.
What charge?!
Breaking and entering,
destruction of private property.
Would you like to
add resisting arrest?
Now, get out of here!
You too. Both of
you. Take 'em out.
( dramatic theme playing )
Harlan.
( whispering ): That's my boy.
Good boy.
The coop. Yeah.
Been there all the time.
And you knew?
Well, I thought maybe.
You see, he hid from
me a few times too.
I always found him up here.
And you didn't tell me?
( sedate theme playing )
I didn't know we could.
Donald.
It's all right, Donald.
It's all right.
He's a friend.
( upbeat theme playing )
STONE: Looks like
business is pretty good.
It's nice to know some
things never change, isn't it?
Yeah.
Oh, hi. Here.
Oh.
( chuckles )
My. Now... ( dinging )
Hey.
Yeah, we got a whole
bunch of other stuff.
Nice to know some
things change too.
Yeah.
( funky jazz theme playing )

Tonight's episode:

( calm theme playing )
( mysterious theme playing )
All set. He's coming out.
Sure? Sure, I'm sure.
I saw him, didn't I?
Now let's put our boards away.
Let's do it.
Hey, Billy.
We'd better let
him drive away first.
What's the matter?
You guys scared?
No. No.
Then let's do it.
( car starts ) Hey,
wait a minute.
He's... He's coming.
Just act like he's not there.
He never noticed us.
Hey, Billy.
You think he really
keeps a million in there?
You think he really has
that much right in his house?
Sure. Easy.
Ten times that much maybe.
My old man says he's probably
living off stocks and stuff.
Never spends anything.
Got the first nickel
he ever made.
Come on.
( dramatic theme playing )
Come on, Mark. Get up there.
Hurry.
Come on, Tommy.
Get up there. Hurry.
Come on, move faster
than that. We got...
When we get inside...
how do we know where to look?
We look for a safe.
If it's regular money,
look for a safe.
It's in gold or something,
try to find a box.
A pirate's chest, like.
Yeah, or an old trunk maybe.
But isn't it... like stealing?
Oh, come on.
Billy's dad said he's
like a miser or something.
Money doesn't mean
anything to guys like that.
Okay. Eh...
But... well, what
about the other one?
Everybody says
there's two of them.
Not anymore. He died.
How do you know for sure?
My dad said.
Let's go.
I don't know.
There's nothing to be
scared of. He's gone.
But... shouldn't
somebody stay here?
In case he comes back.
Chicken.
( suspenseful theme playing )
( soft music playing
over speakers )
( suspenseful theme playing )
Just like upstairs.
BILLY: Guy must
be crazy, all right,
keeping all this junk.
We're not gonna be
able to find any safe, Billy.
Not if we don't look.
Still scared, aren't you?
I... I just keep thinking
about what your dad said.
About that girl
they found before.
I told you, the guy
that did that's dead.
Besides, that was when
my dad was still a kid.
Come on.
( sighs )
One dollar and 78 cents.
Uh-huh.
( dings )
One dollar and 78 cents.
Thank you.
( coins jingle )
( door closes )
( sighs ) There
ought to be a law.
Hm. Yeah.
Well, I mean it.
A child molester.
A murderer still walking
the streets after all this time.
Well, he's still walking
the streets all right.
Comes in here every day.
There ought to be a law.
( sighs )
( mysterious theme playing )
Oh.
Case you meet any more bears.
Go on. There.
( dramatic theme playing )
Hey, Mark.
It's just a big doll.
Hey, Mark, wait up.
It's nothing. It's just a dummy.
( blows )
( dog barks )
Let's get out of here, okay?
But we gotta find the money.
There's no money.
There's just junk.
There's gotta be
money. Dad said.
Maybe he's wrong.
You saying he's a liar?
I'm just saying maybe
he doesn't know for sure.
Same thing. No, it's not.
Is. Okay. Maybe there is money.
I don't care. I just
wanna get out of here.
Come on. Chicken.
I don't care what
you call me. I'm going.
Chicken!
Chicken!
What's the matter now, chicken?
( whispering ): Quiet.
I heard something.
What? I don't know.
Like somebody
walking up to that door.
I don't hear nothing.
Shh.
( lock jiggling )
( gasps )
( action theme playing )
( loud crash )
Run!
Come on, Tom.
Harlan's back.
Where's Mark? Just come on.
( dramatic theme playing )
( bell dinging )
( hums )
Tom?
Tom.
( humming )
Tom?
Oh, ho-ho. There you are.
Ha. Heh-heh.
Miss me, did you, old boy?
Uh-huh. Well, I got your supper.
Yes, sir.
Huh?
Your favorite this time.
They had it back in stock.
( chuckles )
Oh... Oh, and I've
got something else.
What about that?
Do you know what that is?
Well, that's off
a 1934 La Salle.
Do you know what the odds are
of finding one of
those these days?
Hey, let's show it
to Donald, shall we?
Okay, come on.
Hm.
( mysterious theme playing )
Well. Must have
forgotten to lock it.
Donald?
Donald?
Donald?
Donald?
( whimpering )
Donald, heh.
It's all right, Donald.
I'm home. I'm...
Oh.
( police radio squawking )
Okay, here they are.
Get the Giants score yet?
No.
Let me have that.
These look good.
Yeah, plenty of hot sauce.
Why are you concerned?
It's only spring training.
Well, that's where it
all happens, buddy boy.
That's where you find out
who's got it and who doesn't.
Come on, come
on. It's in the clutch.
September, October
that's when it counts.
That's when my
boys come through.
Your boys? This is
the year of the Giants.
DISPATCHER: Possible
288 at 2331 Leavenworth.
Mm. Hold it.
Repeating. All units, possible
288 at 2331 Leavenworth.
Units in the
vicinity to respond.
Northern one,
northern two, come in.
Inspectors 8-1. We're
at Leavenworth and Bay.
We'll respond.
Ten-four, 8-1. See the
woman, Mrs. Dunham.
Ten-four.
Still don't know how you do it.
What? How you pick
up the codes while
listening to something else
and talking at the same time.
What? Crime against a kid?
Heh-heh.
You don't forget that
one. Come on. Move it.
( siren blaring )
( jazzy theme playing )
I know it's something awful.
He'd... He'd never
stay out this late.
Mark's always here when
I get home from work.
Now what time is that?
Five-thirty. I get off
at 5, stop for groceries,
and... Mark's always here.
Has the place mats on, and...
table all set.
Ever since his father died.
You say he usually plays with
the same boys every afternoon?
Yes. But I asked them both.
They didn't see Mark today.
Well, maybe we ought
to talk to them anyway.
Well, what do I do?
What if you can't find him?
Mrs. Dunham... we're gonna have
the whole neighborhood searched.
We'll put out an
all-points bulletin.
And we'll give your
description to Missing Persons.
Oh, I know something's happened.
Now, you said the
names were Billy Rudolph
and Tommy Cochran.
Yes. What...? What
do I do? Go with you?
Stay here? What?
Oh, my God.
I know it's something terrible.
You wait right
here, Mrs. Dunham.
We'll keep in touch every hour.
Do you have a
family doctor? Why?
He could prescribe
something for you to relax.
I don't want a
doctor, I want my boy.
Not your fault, Donald.
It was mine.
I shouldn't have stopped
for that dang old hubcap.
I shouldn't have been out
poking around like that anyway.
I should have been
home here with you...
where I belong.
So... don't go blaming yourself.
It's not your fault.
Nobody's fault, maybe.
Uh, the way the world is.
I'll be going out again now.
Maybe a little
longer than usual.
But...
don't just sit there
blaming yourself.
( sighs )
Oh.
( sighs )
Well...
No use putting it off
any longer I guess, Tom.
( dramatic theme playing )
( jazzy theme playing )
It's on Chestnut Street, right?
Yeah. Turn left.
1637. About a block and
a half down, on your side.
Now, which kid is this?
Billy Rudolph.
No, sir. I didn't see
him after school today.
Are you sure, Billy?
MAN: Wait a minute.
Now, just hold
on. What's it take?
He said no already.
Look, the dame lives
alone with the kid.
I mean, she's got nothing
to worry about but the kid.
He's almost 13. I mean,
he's not a baby anymore.
You get what I mean?
You can understand how his
mother's concerned, can't you?
It's after 11:00,
he hasn't called.
If that was Billy...
It wouldn't be Billy.
Once is enough, right, Bill?
Yes, sir.
Did you ever do
anything like that, Billy?
Stay out and not tell your
mother anything about it?
MOM: Lieutenant...
Joe is right. Just once.
What happened? Where did you go?
I don't see what this has
got to do with anything.
If there's anywhere
that kids can go and play,
and forget about time...
we'd like to take a
look at it, that's all.
It was last year, lieutenant,
when he was playing
around that old house.
What old house?
The one on Hyde Street.
You know, where those two
brothers locked themselves up
a long time ago? What
was their name, Joe?
Yeah. It was, uh,
Edgerton. A couple kooks.
The house is near here?
Right around the corner.
A couple of blocks.
Do you boys like to play there?
I guess so.
I guess they do.
Otherwise you wouldn't have
caught that whipping, huh?
I don't go there anymore.
Well, what about Mark?
I don't know.
Well, you go to school
with him each day.
You see him.
He would've told you
whether went up there or not.
I don't know.
Look, you guys are not grilling
some hardened
criminal, you know.
I've gotta be at the docks.
I gotta shove off.
Why don't you two shove off?
I don't want my kid
standing around here,
going through this all night.
Mrs. Dunham doesn't like
going through it all night either.
Maybe your son can help.
Okay.
Billy, if you know anything,
I want you to tell these men.
Do you hear me?
Billy...
Did Mark talk to you at school
or on the way to school
about going to this old
house this afternoon?
If he did, he might
have gotten hurt, Billy.
He'd want you to tell us.
I think so.
You think so? W-what...?
You think so, what?
I think he said something
about going up
there after school.
But I told him I couldn't go.
Me and Tommy, we both
said we wouldn't go with him.
I told him about what you said
about it being dangerous.
About the girl they found there.
I told him not to do it.
The girl they found there?
Oh, yeah. That
was a long time ago.
She was, um... you know.
And her neck was broken.
Oh... Isn't that right, Joe?
That's right. One
of the brothers did it.
And they never made
them pay for it either.
I was just a kid. I
remember how my...
old man got all
steamed up about it.
Everybody in the
neighborhood was up in arms.
I think I remember
something about it.
One of them died, didn't he?
Yeah, that's right.
Right after it happened.
At least that's what
the brother says.
You ask me and that
big one's still in the house.
Why do you think that?
Oh. People have seen things.
Like what?
Like lights going on and off
when Harlan isn't there.
Like two men moving
around on different floors.
Things like that.
Okay.
Okay. Thank you.
We're gonna go
up and take a look.
DAD: You'd better do
more than just take a look.
You better tear that rattrap
down board by board,
like they should have
done 30 years ago.
There's no telling what
you're gonna find there.
( slow, dramatic theme playing )
You wanna stop by and
see that other kid, Cochran?
No. Let's talk to
the old man first.
Those kids were
playing there, all right.
The way that joker
made it sound,
no kid would wanna miss
what was going on there.
I wonder how much
that Billy really knows.
Well, he knows enough not
to tell the old man the truth.
Hey, what a way
to raise kids, huh?
Spook stories and spankings.
( exhales )
Was there any truth to
that story about the girl?
No, not... Nothing
anybody could prove.
( dramatic theme playing )
( panting )
( engine starts )
Nice going!
Not so loud. He may
have seen my U-ie.
That's different.
Our U-turns are fringe benefits.
His are illegal.
Now this has gotta be it.
Well, it looks kind of creepy.
Huh. Stick.
What?
The architecture's called stick.
You can tell by
those bay windows.
You see how they're squared off?
Must be, uh...
1885 or '90, maybe.
Well, you just put
that down in the report.
Observations like
that are gonna get you
right to the top
of the department.
( both chuckle )
Hey, you know that old
car that just made a U-turn?
Yeah, the station
wagon? The woody. Yeah.
It was parked right here.
Vintage house, vintage
car. What do you think?
Well, I think I'm gonna
write that in the report myself.
Come on, hang with it.
( suspenseful theme playing )
( tires screeching )
Pick it up.
Hang with him. Let's
see what he's up to.
You got the flashlight?
Yeah.
Take it easy.
Hold it.
KELLER: He means
drop the shovel.
Are you Edgerton?
Harlan Edgerton?
Mike, give me some light.
STONE: What are you up to?
Look at this.
( eerie theme playing )
( dramatic theme playing )
( sighs )
Mr. Edgerton.
This is Mr. O'Brien.
Mr. O'Brien is with the
district attorney's office.
Mr. Edgerton, I understand
you don't wanna speak to anyone.
Now, you have
that right, of course,
but I wanted to be certain
that you've been made aware
of the charge against you.
The charge is
murder, Mr. Edgerton.
Are you aware of that?
Mr. Edgerton.
We're not trying to
force anything out of you.
All we want to make sure
is that you know what
is happening to you.
You're going to be tried
for the murder of
that boy, Mr. Edgerton.
Do you have an attorney,
or would you like the
court to appoint one for you?
Okay, Mike. I'll
get somebody on it.
I think he understands
what's going on.
He's just not about
to say anything.
Did you get a warrant
to go into the house?
Yeah, Steve's picking it up now.
O'BRIEN: Well, I'll be
in my office all afternoon.
Please.
Please.
Yes, what?
The house. Don't go in it.
Oh, we'll have to.
No, please.
Not without me.
Why not?
I'm sorry, Mr. Edgerton.
Let me go with you, please.
Nope.
You're gonna be
here for a long time.
How long?
Well, you'll be
arraigned tomorrow.
We'll schedule a
hearing sometime
in the next eight or ten weeks.
And the trial won't
be for several months.
Oh, no. You...
You can't do that.
He needs me, and I...
Who? Who needs you?
My cat.
My cat needs me.
Your cat?
Mr. Edgerton.
You had a brother.
It was reported that he
had died some 30 years ago.
Was that report accurate?
Is he dead?
He's been alive and living
in that house all these years?
( slow, dramatic theme playing )
I don't believe it.
( chuckles )
I really don't believe it.
Rudolph said the old
man collected trash.
Looks like he imported
the whole city dump.
I don't know, buddy boy.
There is junk.
And there is junk.
Yeah, but this, uh...
This is bananas time.
( chuckles )
I mean, this old guy
is totally out of his tree.
And my guess is
that when his brother
wouldn't go out
into the world...
Harlan decided to
bring the world in to him.
Yeah.
Say, there must be a staircase
around here somewhere.
You go look that
way, and I'll...
I'll see what I
can find over here.
Better take a road map.
( cans clattering )
Mike?!
Don't worry.
Some cans fell over.
Mike?
Yeah.
Mike? STONE: Mm?
Found the stairs.
Found these too. What's that?
Road maps.
Come on. Let's go.
( sedate theme playing )
It's like a...
It's like a boat in a bottle.
Take a look at all this.
It's a playroom.
King-size nursery.
( keys jingling )
( cat meows )
( dramatic theme playing )
He was there, wasn't he?
In that upstairs room?
Whatever you were doing
or trying to do, it's over.
We went through
that whole house.
We know that two of
you were living there.
Now did your
brother kill that boy?
No. He didn't kill him.
KELLER: Did you?
No.
Well, he was dead.
You were trying to bury him.
Well, I had to.
Why?
Because.
Because if you said anything,
we'd know he was alive?
Why did you want the world
to think that he had died?
Was it because you thought
that he had killed
that girl 30 years ago?
No, I never thought
he killed her.
Then why?
Well, it...
It was people. That's why.
All those people.
They thought he did it.
There were
threats... letters, calls.
Just people.
It was all over when he died.
So he stayed in that
house for 30 years?
Thirty-two.
You see, he was aboard
the U.S.S. Oklahoma
when it was sunk
at Pearl Harbor.
He was a lieutenant commander.
What he saw, what
he went through, well...
He never got over it.
He came home from the
hospital, drew all the curtains...
wouldn't go out.
Wouldn't let
anybody in except me.
I... I brought on...
some of that myself, I guess.
I didn't mix with
people very much.
I kept to myself, my books.
Anyway, when...
little Tina was found
in the lot next door,
they were all ready to say
it was Donald who killed her.
Tina? You knew her?
Oh. Sure. I... I...
I knew all the children then.
I worked in the library.
Used to help 'em
find their books
and reference
materials for reports.
Well...
people put that
together, along with...
Donald's size
and... his strength...
and his strangeness.
They said it was murder.
Do you know for a fact
that he didn't kill this Tina?
Well...
I answered all those questions
30 years ago, lieutenant.
Forgive me for having to
ask you those questions again.
But I wasn't here then.
I was somewhere in the Pacific,
trying to do something
about what happened to
your brother at Pearl Harbor.
We're trying to help him now.
Mr. Edgerton...
are you sure that your brother
didn't kill either
of these two kids?
I used to think I was sure.
This time... I don't know.
Well, where did
you find the boy?
In the attic.
Was he with your brother?
Yes.
But he didn't do
it. He couldn't have.
That's not for us to decide.
We've got to bring him in.
Now, will you help us
and give us a description?
Oh, he won't go with you.
That's why he ran away,
don't you see? He's...
He's frightened.
He frightens so easily.
Well, right now
there's a lot of parents
that are frightened.
And we gotta get him.
Well, would you take
me with you? Please?
I can talk to him.
Nobody else can.
Please.
Get O'Brien.
Still alive? I've got a copy
of his death certificate.
Harlan bought it. How?
Family doctor
listed a heart attack.
Then Harlan and his brother
gave him the entire inheritance,
except for the house.
The file says there
was a military funeral.
Was that fake too?
Bronze casket loaded with
200 pounds of
National Geographics.
( sighs )
I don't know, Steve.
The funeral he was preparing
last night was for real.
Whether he killed that boy
or not, he's an accessory.
Jerry, look. Look.
The story's hit the
papers already, right?
Now, there is
gonna be a real panic
unless we get him back today.
Harlan with us will make our
job that much easier. That's all.
Okay. I'll see what I can do.
MAN ( on TV ): And the coroner's
office confirms that this death too
was the result of a broken neck.
A coincidence?
Or a terrible act committed
by a compulsive killer
who should have been
incarcerated 30 years ago?
That is the mystery to be
solved by police authorities.
And the issue to be weighed
by citizens in the
Bay Area today
as the search continues
for Donald Edgerton,
the 62-year-old man
who was once suspect
in the killing of another.
( turns TV off )
Hey. My television
show is coming back on.
What's the name of that
cop that was here last night?
Um... Lieutenant Stone, I think.
Yeah, Stone. Yeah.
What are you doing?
Last night he said to call
him if I thought of anything.
I just thought of something.
( phone rings )
Yes. Lieutenant Stone.
Oh. Mr. Rudolph.
Well, look, I don't like the
idea any more than you do.
But you're gonna have to
come up with facts than that
if you want us to
collar the suspect.
Facts?
Listen, I'll give you facts.
You clowns let that nut
get away 30 years ago,
and now you're letting
him get away again.
That is facts.
Look, Mr. Rudolph...
Listen, I told you last night
what was going on in that house.
I'm telling you
now, find that nut.
If you can't do your job,
maybe it's just time
some of us poor slobs
who you're supposed
to be protecting
will do your job for you.
( hangs up )
Listen, I got
something... Never mind.
Just got a call from Rudolph.
What?
Fellow like that can
make your day for you.
What do you got?
Psychiatric report
on Donald Edgerton
from the VA Hospital.
Schizoid. Totally withdrawn.
Couldn't hurt anybody.
Guess Harlan was right.
( phone rings )
Buddy boy...
all we know is that Harlan
found him with the boy,
and the boy had a broken neck.
Right. Now the
whole world knows,
and all hell is
gonna break loose
unless we can collar him quick.
What's holding up O'Brien?
Where is he?
Will you get on the phone
and find out where he is?
And find out who
told the news media
about the, uh...
coroner's report.
Whoever did should be bounced.
Oh, never mind. Here he is.
Well, what's the verdict?
Well, the DA chewed
on it hard, Mike.
And what did he spit up?
Well, he did some choking first
on some pretty grim stats.
You know there have been 51
unsolved missing-juvenile cases
in the Bay Area since that
girl was killed 30 years ago?
Now, wait a minute,
Jerry. Wait a minute.
Are you saying he's a
suspect in all those cases?
The public is.
I got an earful from
that kind of public.
The point is, you don't have
a case without a suspect.
And Harlan is the
guy that can help us.
The point is,
people are gonna be
screaming for the DA's head
if he lets you just waltz
another Edgerton brother
out of his cell.
You saying we can't have Harlan?
Not officially. ( phone rings )
What does that mean?
It means we've set
his arraignment up
from tomorrow
afternoon to 5:00 today.
Well, how does that help us?
Well, it's only 1:30 now.
Someone has to escort him
from his cell in the basement
to the courtroom
on the fourth floor.
You think you can manage
that between now and 5:00?
Bring the car to
the side... Right.
I'll get Harlan.
You know...
you ought to
really practice law.
You know that, O'Brien?
You have a cute way with words.
So now, um... Now,
it's gonna be my head
somebody's gonna be
screaming for if this gets out, right?
Officially.
Oh, of course. Officially.
( sighs )
Lieutenant. You
can come out now,
for a couple of hours,
anyway. Oh, thank you.
Thank you very much, lieutenant.
And I remembered
something I forgot to tell you.
Yeah, what's that?
The skylight was open.
Skylight?
Yes. And that must be
how the boy came in.
The skylight.
And that's maybe what
happened. He slipped and fell.
Is that where you found
him? At the base of the ladder?
No, no. He... He
was on an old bed.
But... But Donald
could've carried him to it,
could have tried to make him
comfortable, tried to help him.
Oh, that could be what
happened, couldn't it?
Is that what Donald told you?
Oh, he won't talk. He
hasn't since the war.
But he was crying.
He was crying real hard.
Oh, it had to be the skylight,
lieutenant. It had to be.
( suspenseful theme playing )
Come on. Come on up.
Come on.
( suspenseful theme playing )
Look, don't stop.
Go on down to Rudolph's.
I wanna ask Billy a
few more questions.
Hey, Joe. Look at
this. An iron girdle.
We're not here for that.
Come on.
Well, he knows we're here.
Junk.
Come on, let's go
downstairs and find him.
Hey, Joe, come here.
You know what they had to do?
They had to bring that
up here piece by piece.
Well, that's how they're
gonna take it out of here.
Hey, that was a
good catch, Billy.
Could I talk to
you for a minute?
I'll see you later, Billy.
STONE: Oh, Tommy.
I've been wanting
to talk to you too.
Will you come here?
I'm Lieutenant Stone.
There's somebody I'd
like the two of you to meet.
Billy! You get in the
house this minute.
No, that's all right,
Mrs. Rudolph.
He's in my custody.
I wanted the boys to meet
him before he went to jail.
Do you mind?
Oh, I guess not.
Come here.
See?
He's gonna spend the
rest of his life in prison
unless he can prove
that he and his brother
didn't do anything to harm Mark.
Lieutenant, I don't see...
Mrs. Rudolph, please.
As far as I'm concerned,
he's spent enough
time in prison.
The kind people
don't know about.
Except people who have
been in that house maybe.
I told you.
I've never been in there before.
Tommy, you been there?
Mike and I were there.
It's different, all right.
But there's a
reason it's like that.
You boys ever hear
of Pearl Harbor?
You did? Well...
Mr. Edgerton's brother was on
a ship that was bombed there.
It was a pretty awful thing.
The kind of thing that
could make you afraid.
It was so bad that you
could become afraid
for the rest of your life.
That's what happened
to his brother.
That's why he wouldn't
leave the house,
because he was afraid.
Billy, you ever been afraid?
Everybody is sometimes.
That's right.
When you're afraid, you don't
act the way you normally do...
do you?
I guess.
When was the last time
you were afraid, Billy?
Tommy?
Was it when you were
in the Edgerton house?
Come on, Tommy, look at me.
Or was it when Billy told
you not to talk about it?
Lieutenant, I really don't
see what this is all about.
Now I know you're
calling Billy a liar.
Well, I'm gonna tell you what
it's all about, Mrs. Rudolph.
I'm afraid.
I'm afraid that these two boys
are gonna wake up someday
and become men...
and remember what they
did to this man and his brother.
And then suddenly realize
who the real criminals are.
And I think you ought
to think about that too.
Well, okay, fellas, that's...
That's about it, huh?
Billy, we gotta tell
them. We gotta.
Now, you were there
with Mark, weren't you?
I don't know what happened.
I was up on the roof waiting,
and... And I waited a long time.
And... And then I heard
this loud crash, and...
And Billy came up alone.
Up the skylight?
Yeah. And...
And Billy said
that if I ever told...
It was an accident.
Billy.
It was an accident.
We saw him and we ran.
And Mark fell off the ladder.
I didn't wait for him.
( sobs ): I was scared.
Now, that's all right, son.
It's all right.
It's all over now.
No.
Joe and some of his friends...
they went to his house
to find his brother.
( dramatic theme playing )
( grunts ) ( smashes on ground )
Get the kerosene from the truck.
If he's in here someplace,
we'll... We'll burn him out
with the rest of the junk.
Okay.
What's he doing out of jail?
Rudolph, you get out.
Get out.
He's making room for you.
You're under arrest.
What charge?!
Breaking and entering,
destruction of private property.
Would you like to
add resisting arrest?
Now, get out of here!
You too. Both of
you. Take 'em out.
( dramatic theme playing )
Harlan.
( whispering ): That's my boy.
Good boy.
The coop. Yeah.
Been there all the time.
And you knew?
Well, I thought maybe.
You see, he hid from
me a few times too.
I always found him up here.
And you didn't tell me?
( sedate theme playing )
I didn't know we could.
Donald.
It's all right, Donald.
It's all right.
He's a friend.
( upbeat theme playing )
STONE: Looks like
business is pretty good.
It's nice to know some
things never change, isn't it?
Yeah.
Oh, hi. Here.
Oh.
( chuckles )
My. Now... ( dinging )
Hey.
Yeah, we got a whole
bunch of other stuff.
Nice to know some
things change too.
Yeah.
( funky jazz theme playing )
