00:00There's been an accident.
00:01Did you hit him?
00:02Go get your steel.
00:03Get away from me!
00:04Please, you murderer.
00:06Please, please.
00:07I've been framed like a $2 watercolor.
00:08That's what's happening!
00:10By who?
00:11Someone from your mysterious past?
00:14I got him!
00:20Well, you'd better go back and look again,
00:23because as good as we are, and we are good,
00:25until we find out who's after you,
00:27I don't think we stand a chance.
00:29I don't think we stand a snowball's chance
00:32in hell of beating this...
00:59♪

02:32Los Angeles.
02:34I'd like the listing for Remington Steel Investigation.
02:38Whoa!
02:39Does it every time.
02:42Here we go.
02:43Mm-hmm.
02:50An excellent year.
02:52An interesting year.
02:54I was referring to the champagne.
02:56And not to the anniversary of your appearance in our lives?
02:59Oh, has it been a year already?
03:01Doesn't seem like it, does it?
03:03Mm, hardly.
03:04But tell me, is that the reason
03:06for the surprise you mentioned this evening?
03:08Well, I think you'll find it stimulating.
03:11Maybe even a whole new experience.
03:13I've always had a soft spot for stimulation.
03:16My horizons are yours to expand.
03:19I'll just get Mildred.
03:21She's barely been able to contain her excitement.
03:24Mildred, eh?
03:26Oh, Mr. Steel,
03:28if I had this rig at the IRS,
03:30the revenues I would have wrenched loose.
03:33I mean, the RAM and the ROM capacity it has,
03:36and the power.
03:37Mark my words,
03:38after tonight's computer class,
03:40the world is at our microchips.
03:42Computer class?
03:43Computer class?
03:44Different, stimulating, a new experience.
03:47And if I get just a little instructions,
03:49I'm sure that I can clear up your checking account problems.
03:52What's wrong with my checking account?
03:54Oh, it's probably just a glitch in the statement readout.
03:57Shall we?
03:59You're not coming.
04:01It's not that I don't find computer class positively electrifying,
04:04but, um, I promised to visit a friend.
04:07Been taken ill.
04:08Ah.
04:09Well, Fred's taking Mildred and me in the limo,
04:12but you're welcome to use my car if you like.
04:14I hope your friend recovers soon.
04:16I suspect he's feeling better already.
04:18Night, ladies.
04:19Hmm.
04:22Hmm.
04:25Oh, well,
04:26I suppose you're not a total loss.
04:29Steel here.
04:30Mr. Steel, thank God I found you.
04:33My name is Henry Spellman.
04:35You don't know me,
04:37and I don't have time to explain,
04:39but I must see you.
04:41I'm afraid I can't.
04:43I'm afraid I can't.
04:45I'm afraid I can't.
04:47I'm afraid I can't.
04:49I'm afraid I can't.
04:51I'm afraid I can't.
04:53I'm afraid I can't.
04:55I'm afraid I can't.
04:57I don't have time to explain,
04:59but I must see you.
05:01Please.
05:02There's no time.
05:03I'm in danger.
05:04I'll be at the Covington Inn on Highway 5,
05:072 miles past the River Road turnoff.
05:09Help me.
05:10Mr. Spellman.
05:27Mr. Spellman.
05:49Hey, mister, mister, mister.
05:51Come here.
05:52Sir.
05:53Sir.
05:57Mister, please.
05:58Please.
06:00Please.
06:032, 3, 4, 5, 6.
06:06What happened?
06:07There's been an accident.
06:08Find a phone.
06:09Get an ambulance, please, will you?
06:11Did you hit him?
06:12Did you hear what I said?
06:13There's been an accident.
06:14Find a phone, please.
06:17Come on.
06:18Stay with me.
06:20Stay with me.
06:27I got a message in the class.
06:29Are you all right?
06:30Oh, yeah.
06:31Terrific.
06:32I never saw him, Laura.
06:34He was just there from nowhere.
06:36But up here?
06:37When I left you at the office.
06:39A man called.
06:40Said his name was Spellman.
06:41Henry, Henry Spellman.
06:43Excuse me, please.
06:44Excuse me.
06:45Said his name was Spellman.
06:46Henry Spellman.
06:47Said he wanted to see me right away.
06:49Gave me an address up here someplace.
06:51You know this Spellman?
06:53No.
06:54I don't know him.
06:55You know this Spellman?
06:57No.
06:58He just sounded so desperate.
07:00Of course, my being the intrepid detective.
07:02I'm sorry to bother you again, Mr. Steele,
07:04but we can't seem to locate that ice cream vendor guy.
07:07Ice cream vendor?
07:08Yes.
07:09He was the first one to stop.
07:10I sent him to call.
07:12He had one of those vans with the jingles going.
07:15That's all right.
07:16A lot of folks leave the scene of an accident.
07:18You don't want to get involved.
07:19I'll just put it in the report, huh?
07:21Excuse me, officer.
07:24The man I, uh, the man I hit,
07:26do you know his name?
07:28Henry Spellman.
07:32Oh, dear God.
07:37You should have seen the way Mildred
07:39went after that computer keyboard tonight.
07:41I really think she has a rapport with those machines.
07:43A man calls, says he needs help,
07:46and the next thing I know,
07:48the same man's bouncing off the hood of my car.
07:51Hmm?
07:53Is there any sense in that at all?
07:55We'll see what we can find out about it in the morning.
07:58Could be he was running from something when...
08:01When I killed him.
08:03I've never killed a man before.
08:06Don't think I much care for the feeling.
08:12I'll stay with you tonight if you like.
08:15I mean, I was the dusk-to-dawn Pinochle champion
08:18three years running at summer camp.
08:20Hmm.
08:21Buck ahead, what do you say?
08:25I say it's a good idea that you invented me
08:28because if it were the other way around,
08:30I don't think I could dream up anyone quite like you.
08:35But it's all right.
08:37I'm better off by myself going home.
08:43I'll, um, keep the phone by my bed
08:46if you need to talk.
08:48Sure.
08:51And, uh, try to remember it was an accident.
08:57Yeah.
09:00Oh.
09:16It was an accident.
09:21It was an accident.
09:45Yes?
09:46Mr. Steele?
09:48Yes.
09:50His wife?
09:52The police just left.
09:54They explained to me about the accident.
09:57I wanted you to know that I don't hold you to blame.
10:00Oh, Mrs. Spellman, I...
10:02I, uh, I don't know what to say,
10:05but, um, when your husband called me,
10:07he said he was in trouble.
10:09Do you think he was in trouble?
10:11I think so, but right now I can't.
10:13Of course, of course, of course.
10:15I understand.
10:17I blame the...
10:19Oh.
10:21Forget Henry.
10:23Maybe if you could meet me there,
10:25we could talk then.
10:27Ten o'clock?
10:29I'll be there, I'll be there.
10:31Um, Mrs. Spellman, I...
10:33I'm so sorry.
10:39Are you sure you're ready for this?
10:41She asked me to come.
10:43I couldn't refuse even if I wanted to.
10:45Are you sure you're ready for this, Spellman, too?
10:47Sort of.
10:49Maybe you know exactly where did the accident take place.
10:52Uh, on Highway 5,
10:54just north of River Road, I think.
10:56Hmm. It shouldn't be that cold up there.
10:59Come on, let's go.
11:11Oh!
11:13Mrs. Spellman, uh,
11:15I'm Remington Steele.
11:17How dare you come here?
11:19How dare you?
11:21Mrs. Spellman.
11:23You killed him.
11:25But Henry told me all about you.
11:27I know what you've done. I know!
11:29I do understand how you feel. Please believe me.
11:31He'll get your Steele.
11:33Just like Henry.
11:35Just like McIntyre.
11:37Who's McIntyre?
11:39Mrs. Spellman, please listen.
11:41No! Get away from me!
11:43Just a few seconds. I want to talk to you.
11:45You butchered now. Leave me alone.
11:47Please, please, let's go.
11:49Let's go.
11:51Get away.
11:53Where did all that come from?
11:57I don't know.
12:27Boy, these are really something.
12:29I tell you, the best picture I ever got
12:31was one of me and Tommy Lasorda
12:33saying, go for the fences, Jimmy.
12:35Oh, listen, I hope you don't mind my being in here.
12:38It's just that I have been such a big fan of yours, Mr. Steele.
12:41Oh, no problem, Mr., uh...
12:43Oh, Jarvis, Detective Jarvis.
12:45I got my I.D. right here.
12:47What can we do for you, Detective?
12:49You must be Miss Holt.
12:51I can't tell you what a hoot this is,
12:53meeting the both of you.
12:55The fact of the matter is,
12:57the traffic accidents aren't even in my department.
12:59But when that report came in,
13:01and I saw the name Steele on there...
13:03Yes, you just couldn't help yourself.
13:05I guess I couldn't.
13:07Boy, I hope I didn't leave my badge in the soap dish again.
13:10You have some questions, Detective?
13:12Well, it's just a few little things.
13:14Um, according to the report, Mr. Steele,
13:17you said that Henry Spellman called you
13:19and asked to meet you at the Covington Inn.
13:21Did you take a look?
13:23No. No, Mildred and I had already left for the evening.
13:26Right. So then you spoke with him,
13:28and then you left for the Covington Inn?
13:30Mm-hmm, that's correct.
13:32Well, I guess it just must have, uh,
13:34slipped your mind then when he called.
13:36What's that?
13:37The Covington Inn?
13:39It burnt down six weeks ago.
13:41Big front-page headlines, remember?
13:43He's right.
13:46Listen, I've imposed on your time long enough.
13:50Just a second, uh, Detective...
13:52Mr. Steele, I want to thank you.
13:54I'll take care of everything from here.
13:56It's all paperwork anyway.
13:58And really, thank you.
14:00I am never, ever going to forget meeting you like this.
14:03I'm sure that goes for both of us.
14:05Tell me, Detective,
14:07if accident reports aren't your normal area,
14:09what department do you work for?
14:11I'm sorry. Homicide.
14:14Bye-bye now.
14:16According to Mildred,
14:18Spellman has some kind of business down here.
14:21No wiki, mail order?
14:23No.
14:24Bishop's all-girl orchestra?
14:26Spellman.
14:28Custom hatters for heads of distinction.
14:30Come on, shall we?
14:32Hello?
14:33Hello?
14:39Hello?
14:41Hello?
14:43Hello?
14:45Shall we, uh, have a little look around?
15:15This is ludicrous.
15:17Absolutely ludicrous.
15:23Oh.
15:25Take all the time you like.
15:29I was just down the hall putting on some tea.
15:34Oh.
15:36Oh.
15:38Oh.
15:40Oh.
15:42Oh.
15:44Perhaps the lady would like one of these.
15:48Uh, no, thank you.
15:50Really, I, uh...
15:52Please, I insist.
15:54Now,
15:56what sort of hat was it
15:58that you were looking for, Mr...?
16:00Pearson, uh, Benjamin Pearson
16:02and my associate, uh, Miss Holt, uh, Stein.
16:05And, uh, Mutual Fidelity Insurance Company.
16:08And it's, uh, Mr. Spellman's, uh, life insurance
16:11that brought us, actually.
16:13Why?
16:15Yes, uh, we need some additional information
16:17in order to approve a final payment.
16:19Life insurance? Final payment?
16:21I don't understand.
16:23Mr. Spellman is...
16:27You're not suggesting...?
16:29I'm afraid Mr. Spellman died last night
16:32as the result of an accident.
16:34Are you certain it was an accident?
16:36Absolutely. Why?
16:38Tell me.
16:40A man named Steele wasn't involved, was he?
16:46Yes, he was.
16:48Oh, no.
16:50Oh, God, no.
16:52Sit down, sir, sit down.
16:54There you go.
16:56I warned him not to push Steele.
17:00There are other ways to get money like that.
17:03I warned him that this could happen.
17:06What? What would happen?
17:08What money? What did he tell you was going on with Mr. Steele?
17:11No. No, I've said too much already.
17:14It's important that we have all the facts.
17:16I don't know anything.
17:18Please leave me alone.
17:20My teeth. I have to get my teeth.
17:22Just a second, Mr. Fle...
17:24Good boy.
17:31According to this, I've had four meetings
17:33with the ubiquitous Mr. Spellman in the last two weeks.
17:36Well, that's not possible, is it?
18:06Detective Jarvis, please.
18:11Yes, detective.
18:13I found that appointment book of Mr. Spellman's
18:16that you were asking about.
18:20In fact, I have it right here in front of me.
18:28A Mr. Steele, you say.
18:31Well, I don't know.
18:35Let's have a look, shall we?
18:51I finally cracked the boss' checking account snapper.
18:54That's great, Mildred.
18:56McIntyre.
18:58That's the name Mrs. Spellman mentioned.
19:00What about those checking accounts, Mildred?
19:03Oh, well, I don't really think I should say, Miss...
19:06Mildred, he's the boss.
19:08But I'm in charge, remember?
19:10Oh, right.
19:12Okay, see for yourself.
19:14With all those checks to the Spellman Hat Company,
19:17you'd think we'd see our chief in a hat every once in a while, wouldn't you?
19:21Thanks, Mildred.
19:23Please keep checking those numbers on Spellman's phone bill for us.
19:26Maybe one of them will open a door.
19:28Miss Hall, I know I'm the kind of new kid on the block here,
19:32but with all this, I...
19:34You want to tell me what's going on?
19:36No, Mildred. Not yet.
19:39But right now I need to ask about our match last Thursday.
19:42I remember the afternoon because just after you left,
19:45somebody called to apologize for not showing up.
19:48I think his name was Spellman, something like that.
19:51And he said something about a McIntyre account.
19:54I'm not even sure now.
19:56Steele?
19:58Steele, are you still there?
20:00Yes. Yes, cuz. Thank you. Bye.
20:08Hey, these things can really be dangerous
20:10without those little rubber tips, huh?
20:12Here, I guess I got the point.
20:15Can you and I talk for a minute there?
20:18I don't like this, Laura.
20:20It's bad enough that I accidentally killed a stranger,
20:22but now I'm scratching for alibis that won't hold.
20:24I'm actually starting to think that I'm in real trouble.
20:27Yes, I think we are. Sit down.
20:29And then there's this Detective Jarvis...
20:31Please, sit down. I need to show you something.
20:34All right. All right. All right, I'm down.
20:36I found this file in Spellman's office with your name on it.
20:39It contains the following.
20:41Copies of phone bills showing calls from Spellman's place
20:44to here and your apartment.
20:46I double-checked them against your bills.
20:48You returned all those calls.
20:50I never received or made one of these calls, Laura.
20:53The phone company does not agree.
20:55There's also these.
20:57Clippings about someone named McIntyre.
21:00The police believe he and an accomplice
21:02knocked over a jewelry exchange,
21:04getting away with something in excess
21:06of $100,000 worth of gems.
21:08Sold hot to a fence, they'd be worth about half that.
21:11As the police started to move in, McIntyre was killed.
21:15Neither his accomplice nor the jewels were ever found.
21:18Just what are you telling me?
21:20Only what Detective Jarvis will a few days from now
21:23if we've got even that much time.
21:25Laura!
21:26Please listen!
21:27In addition, Mildred tells me our new computer
21:30reveals a second checking account in your name
21:33containing about $50,000,
21:35the bulk of which has been siphoned
21:37into Spellman's hat company over the last few months.
21:40If I were the police, I would say that you were McIntyre's
21:43missing accomplice and that most likely you murdered him.
21:46Spellman somehow found out
21:48and began blackmailing you for the jewel money.
21:50Maybe his demands got too rich,
21:52so you set up a secret meeting and then killed him too,
21:55trying to make it look like an accident.
21:57But you're not the police, are you, Laura?
21:59No, I'm not.
22:00But when I met you, you were after the jewels.
22:03I was hired to protect.
22:05So?
22:06So.
22:07McIntyre was killed exactly ten days
22:10before you stepped into my life and became Remington Steel.
22:14I don't give a damn for what they say.
22:16Do you believe I'm clean?
22:18Or is Jarvis in this room as we speak right now, eh?
22:20There's an awful lot to swallow here,
22:22but yes, I believe you're clean.
22:24But it doesn't change what's happening.
22:26I'm being framed like a $2 watercolor.
22:28That's what's happening!
22:29By who?
22:30Someone from your mysterious past?
22:32Don't you see it's Acapulco all over again?
22:34Every time I turn around,
22:36there's another cop still looking for you,
22:38another old score waiting to be settled.
22:40All right, all right.
22:41So I put a few noses out of joint in my time,
22:43step on a few toes, made a few enemies,
22:45but I can't think of anyone who I've crossed so badly
22:47that they'd go through all of this to put my head on a platter.
22:50Well, you'd better go back and look again,
22:52because as good as we are, and we are good,
22:54until we find out who's after you,
22:56I don't think we stand a snowball's chance
22:58in hell of beating this!
23:00Good news.
23:01I found a safe deposit box
23:03in Spellman's name at Palmer Bank.
23:05I mean, that's what you call a hot lead, isn't it?
23:08Isn't it?
23:10It's illegal, and it's unprofessional,
23:12and I refuse to be accorded to it.
23:14Oh, please, don't make me do this.
23:16I don't work for the IRS anymore.
23:18Oh, and impersonating an agent.
23:20Oh, we could go to jail for this.
23:22We may anyway, Mildred.
23:24Yes?
23:25Mildred Krabs, IRS.
23:27I gotta pick up that Spellman box
23:29and have it in court in exactly one hour.
23:31So stow the chatter, shred the red tape,
23:33and cough up the keys, dearie.
23:34Do you have a court order?
23:36You've been expecting this for over a month now.
23:39Don't play the bureaucrat with me, honey.
23:41I invented the word.
23:43But I never receive notice.
23:45I sent you notification on my own letterhead.
23:48Are you calling me a liar?
23:52I'll go get the keys.
23:54Snap it up, dearie.
23:56Standing, Mildred, standing, standing.
23:58I can't stand it.
24:00Now I know how Bonnie Parker must have felt.
24:03I think it's safe to assume, what, 15 years?
24:07Maybe if we cop a plea, we'll get minimum security.
24:11Oh, Mother, I'm sorry.
24:17$50,000 in cash?
24:19Close enough.
24:21A collector's item, I should think.
24:23Does it fit anywhere?
24:25I don't know.
24:27I just don't know.
24:34Oh, God, no.
24:41The evening edition of the paper on the night he was murdered.
24:44It's a fake, Laura.
24:46It's a fake.
24:48The evening edition of the paper on the night he was murdered.
24:51It's a fake, Laura.
24:53We're getting out of here.
24:55Late now.
24:57Shall we take the money?
25:02Oops.
25:04Bandage at 12 o'clock.
25:06You two climb into the clouds.
25:08I'll only come out shooting if he gets his sights on my tail, okay?
25:12What?
25:14Excuse me, sir, please.
25:16One second, please, sir.
25:18One second, madam.
25:23Excuse me just a second.
25:25Excuse me, sir, please.
25:27Sorry.
25:29Good afternoon.
25:31This is a stick-up.
25:33Put all the money from your drawer into a bag.
25:38P.S., please ring the silent alarm.
25:40Excuse me, didn't you mean to write,
25:42P.S., please don't ring the silent alarm?
25:44On the contrary.
25:46You see that young man in the corduroy jacket standing behind me?
25:48Well, he's armed, dangerous,
25:50and forcing me to commit this heinous crime against my will.
25:53He's got a gun.
26:00No, not him! He's got the gun!
26:05Why, everybody hit the dirt!
26:07Mom, you were looking for this.
26:09Don't shoot.
26:11Take it easy, fellas. I'm a cop.
26:14Now show us some I.D.
26:18Damn, listen, I left my badge in my other pants,
26:21but that's the guy you want to stop.
26:23I've got a warrant for his arrest right here.
26:27Sorry. Stop that.
26:29Winslow, get his gun.
26:31Come on, Winslow, quick. Get my gun.
26:33Look at the warrant. Read it.
26:37It's okay.
26:39Hey, wait a second.
26:41Come on, Mildred, get up.
26:43Miss Krebs.
26:46All right, I own you now, Miss Holt.
26:48Aiding and abetting, withholding evidence,
26:50obstruction of an officer.
26:52If you don't cooperate with me, believe me, I'll play the full house.
26:55I'll cooperate, Detective.
26:57Oh, Miss Holt.
26:59Excuse me.
27:01Excuse me.
27:03Tell me, Detective,
27:05how fast does a body cool down from the moment of death?
27:08Oh, gee, Miss Holt, I'm no expert.
27:11I thought we were already past the Huck Finn routine.
27:14About five degrees an hour, weather permitting.
27:17Then if Spellman was hit at 8.30
27:19and the coroner received his body four hours after that,
27:22even figuring the temperature that night,
27:24it shouldn't have been more than that.
27:26I don't believe you.
27:28I don't believe you either.
27:30So?
27:32So how come on your autopsy report
27:34his body temperature is listed a full 20 degrees below that?
27:38Like I said, Miss Holt, I'm no expert.
27:40A man was murdered.
27:42That's enough for me.
27:44PHONE RINGS
27:50PHONE RINGS
27:52Hello?
27:54Hello, Mother!
27:56No, no, no, no.
27:58Oh, Mother, no, no, no.
28:00You're not interrupting.
28:02In fact, there's a very special young man here right now.
28:05I'd like you to meet over the telephone.
28:07Don't be silly.
28:09I'm sure Jimmy would love to hear your recipe for shrimp mousse.
28:12Wouldn't you, Jimmy?
28:14Well, actually, I...
28:16Hello, Mrs. Holt. How are you?
28:18Your car's been repaired, Quisling.
28:20I beg your pardon?
28:22You heard me, Quisling.
28:24He sold out to the Nazis.
28:26I mean, how could you, Miss Holt?
28:28I mean, the man is your leader.
28:30He trained you, he gave you this job,
28:32and this is how you show your thanks?
28:34No, ma'am.
28:36I have no philosophical objections to the idea of marriage.
28:38As a matter of fact, I...
28:40If you're talking business computers, I hear you.
28:42No, no.
28:44Well, if you're talking home computers, I hear you.
28:46I mean, they're great.
28:48They'll balance your checkbook, do your taxes,
28:50step into the future for your kids.
28:52Believe me, Mr. Steele, I hear you.
28:54But, uh, I can phone in other machines.
28:56Aha, this continuous asynchronous phone link.
28:58I've got six models, and two of them are on sale.
29:00I see.
29:02Here's a free demonstration in order.
29:04Does night follow day?
29:06I hear you.
29:20No, ma'am.
29:22There has never been any serious illness in my family.
29:24Oh!
29:26I just came in to tell you that...
29:28What is it, Mildred?
29:30I quit.
29:32What?
29:34Well, if you can't supply me
29:36with a 1020-J computer,
29:38which I asked for,
29:40and instead you give me
29:42that clunker full of microchips
29:44that even Einstein couldn't manage,
29:46well, then I'm finished.
29:48Mildred, wait!
29:52Mildred, I understand
29:54this is not an easy situation for any of us,
29:56but I really think you're overreacting.
29:58Just look at that.
30:00I mean, that's nothing but electronic Charmaine.
30:10Great gal, your mom.
30:12And the recipes.
30:14Yeah, well, uh,
30:16she's always had a flair for, um...
30:18Gee, this is a very funny time
30:20for her.
30:24Now, that couldn't possibly
30:26have been a message for Mr. Steele, now could it?
30:28Yes, it was, Detective.
30:30And?
30:32He wants me to meet him
30:34alone.
30:36Quisling! Mildred, stop.
30:38Oh! Oh!
30:40Oh!
30:42I want you to keep that meeting, Miss Holt.
30:44Just give me
30:46time to change, Detective.
30:50♪
30:58We used to hang out around here
31:00when I was a teenager.
31:02Jimmy Dean made it safe for all us rebels.
31:04Well, I guess you come back to every place
31:06sooner or later.
31:08I don't like what I'm about to do, Jarvis.
31:10A favor?
31:12Maybe.
31:14Give me enough of a lead to get to him.
31:16He sees you behind me and he's likely to run.
31:19I don't want anybody to die here this afternoon.
31:21I don't either, Miss Holt.
31:23I'll do my best, but I make no promises.
31:31Right, this is command. Is everybody in position?
31:33That's a roger.
31:35Already here.
31:37Just say when.
31:39♪
31:49♪
32:15All right, I've lost her.
32:17She should be in your area now, though, Davis.
32:19Negative. She hasn't appeared yet.
32:21Robbie? Connor?
32:23No sign.
32:25Come on, you guys. She didn't just disappear.
32:27Wait a second. I've got to make him to the stairs.
32:29She's running. Move in now!
32:33♪
32:39Oh! Oh!
32:41Detective Jarvis!
32:43Oh, imagine
32:45having you here.
32:59You may not have been much of a kisser, Marty Klopman,
33:01but you sure knew where to do it.
33:03♪
33:15Laura! Laura!
33:17Laura, over here.
33:19This way. This way.
33:21Come on. This way.
33:25You're alone, I trust.
33:27For the moment.
33:29Oh, that's good anyway.
33:35I managed to send Jarvis to the store
33:37for a wild goose.
33:39Really? How?
33:41Let's just say you owe Marty Klopman
33:43a big Christmas.
33:45This way. Come on.
33:47I'm glad you came.
33:49Did you think I would?
33:51Couldn't rule it out, could I?
33:53What's this?
33:55This is how I made all those calls to Spellman's office.
33:57My number, robbed clean.
33:59You clip this to the terminals,
34:01dial, and it comes out in the bill.
34:05Then it's the phone company's word against mine.
34:07This guy's even better than I thought.
34:09Maybe even brilliant.
34:11Well, think about it.
34:13What do you think I've been doing?
34:15I've come back over everything.
34:17Every barroom brawl, every jealous lover.
34:19There's no one I know with enough savvy
34:21to grind an axe this sharp.
34:23I just don't know.
34:25Look, nobody sets up a scheme this clever
34:27without leaving a calling card.
34:29Just think of anything strange we've come across
34:31that might ring a bell.
34:33An ice cream truck in the middle of nowhere.
34:35An old man with a handful of lilies.
34:37This coin in a box.
34:39If you're going to come back here,
34:41the least you can do is try once more.
34:45Maybe it's time I cut you free of this, eh?
34:47I'll make this bugger on my own.
34:49You mean leave?
34:53Well, at least that way he couldn't
34:55pull you down with me, could he?
34:59It's out of the question, so let's just drop it.
35:03Laura, we have no more idea of who we're up against
35:05than the general on that coin.
35:09You don't want to be remembered as the man
35:11who tore your life into little pieces.
35:13Look, I just said drop it.
35:15Besides, the man on the coin is not a general.
35:17He's a major.
35:21A major.
35:23An ice cream truck.
35:27A lily.
35:29A major on a coin.
35:33A major discoin.
35:35I know who it is.
35:37Wait!
35:39Come back!
35:41I know who it is!
35:43Come back!
35:45Wait!
35:47He's not after your Remington Steel,
35:49he's after mine!
36:03I got him!
36:07I got him!
36:27Thanks for stopping, mate.
36:29Anytime.
36:37There's a truck stop up ahead.
36:39You can just drop me there.
36:41Are you sure, Mr. Steel?
36:45You must have me confused with someone else.
36:47No, sir.
36:49I've been thinking where I've seen you before.
36:51You're a Remington Steel, all right,
36:53and that's a fact.
36:55Done a lot of reading up on you.
36:57Of course, I haven't.
36:59But I'm sure you know where to find me.
37:01I'm sure you know where to find me.
37:03I'm sure you know where to find me.
37:05Of course,
37:07I had a lot of time for reading.
37:09Remington Steel,
37:11king of the private detective.
37:13Well, that's an exaggeration, I'm afraid,
37:15but I know how the media can be.
37:17Indeed I do, Mr. Steel.
37:19Indeed I do.
37:21Why, I remember all the fuss they made
37:23when you saw
37:25the Lily Martin case.
37:27Some tough case, huh?
37:29Mm, mm.
37:31Oh, yes, one of my most difficult.
37:33Too bad about poor Lily Martin.
37:35She got so upset
37:37when you caught her stealing from Palmer Bank
37:39that she up and killed herself.
37:41Tragic.
37:43Quite tragic.
37:45PHONE RINGS
37:47PHONE RINGS
37:49Crab's here.
37:51Oh, thank God, Mildred.
37:53I don't know how much longer I can shake Jarvis.
37:55Talk to me.
37:57This, uh, desk coin, first name Percy,
37:59former major in the Air Force, right?
38:01Yes, that's him.
38:03He was released from Soledad Prison six months ago
38:05on parole, serving three years
38:07of an eight-year term for a bank embezzling scheme.
38:09And Spellman?
38:11Well, there's no birth certificate
38:13and there's no tax return.
38:15Like you said, probably an alias, but no real person.
38:17Oh, and I just got back
38:19from the chief coroner's office.
38:21It took some arm-squeezing,
38:23but he finally admitted there was
38:25a body stolen from a local morgue
38:27early last week.
38:29Don't ask me where they put it.
38:31In an ice cream truck.
38:33Mildred, we're going to give you a raise for this.
38:35Oh, forget about the raise, honey.
38:37Can you tell me what's going on now?
38:39Soon, Mildred, soon.
38:43An ice cream truck?
38:47You'll come back to every place sooner or later.
38:49Thank you, Detective Jarvis.
38:53Well, in so many cases,
38:55it's hard to want to recall all the details, you know?
38:57Yeah, I reckon so.
38:59But this time,
39:01you're going to remember,
39:03Mr. Steele.
39:05Is there something I said?
39:07I'm disappointed.
39:09I assumed a man of your reputation
39:11would recall sending me to prison.
39:13Boom!
39:15Foolish move, Mr. Steele.
39:19And I planted the clues of my revenge
39:21so carefully
39:23that either way,
39:25it's the end game of our match.
39:27With a shotgun?
39:29A little crude for all the trouble you've gone to, eh?
39:31Oh, I'm not going to kill you with this,
39:33unless I'm forced to.
39:35In fact, I'm going to offer you a chance
39:37to find the evidence that'll clear you
39:39of Spellman's murder,
39:41just to make things interesting.
39:43How sporting of you.
39:45I just wanted you to twist and turn
39:47inside like my poor Lily did.
39:49Who's to say you may find yourself
39:51making the same choice she did?
39:53Now,
39:55you have 30 minutes to reach
39:57our final destination, Mr. Steele.
39:59A man in perfect physical condition,
40:01running at top speed,
40:03should be able to reach it in 22.
40:05That leaves you eight minutes
40:07for the game itself.
40:09Where am I going?
40:11No more questions, Mr. Steele.
40:13I'm here to run.
40:15Get out.
40:23I really can't be trusted, you know.
40:29Just a little something
40:31to get the adrenaline pumping,
40:33Mr. Steele.
40:53Come here.
40:55Oh!
41:01Oh, thank God you're all right.
41:03And I found that shotgun on the road.
41:07Couldn't you treat me like this
41:09at times when I'm less than a day away?
41:11I'm sorry.
41:13I'm sorry.
41:15I'm sorry.
41:17I'm sorry.
41:19I'm sorry.
41:21Couldn't you treat me like this
41:23at times when I'm less near death?
41:25He wasn't someone from your past.
41:27He was from mine,
41:29when Remington Steele
41:31was just a name on an office.
41:33I solved the case,
41:35but naturally Descoyne
41:37thought you were behind it all.
41:39I'm sure some time from now
41:41this is all gonna make sense,
41:43but right now I've got
41:45less than 10 minutes
41:47to get somewhere up this road.
41:49I'll tell you what happened to her.
41:51She killed herself up here at the acid bath.
41:53Oh!
41:55Fascinating story.
41:57Get in.
41:59No.
42:19No.
42:33No fair, Mr. Steele.
42:35You were supposed to run.
42:37So? Sue me.
42:39I suppose the extra few minutes
42:41really won't change things.
42:43We know how you staged the accident.
42:45Stealing the corpse
42:47before you pushed it in front of the car.
42:49We know that!
42:51We do?
42:53Yes, but can you prove it?
42:55I'm afraid to convince
42:57Detective Jarvis you're going to need
42:59the truck itself and the evidence
43:01I've left inside.
43:03The key inside here is to a garage
43:05where the truck is hidden.
43:07My gift to you, Mr. Steele.
43:09I suggest you
43:11retrieve it from the acid
43:13before the ice melts.
43:15Or your chances
43:17will dissolve just as quickly.
43:19Best of luck!
43:45♪
43:55♪
44:05♪
44:15♪
44:25♪
44:35♪
44:45Come on!
44:47Near!
44:51I can't get it!
44:53Help!
44:55Wait, wait, wait!
44:57It's right there!
44:59Oh, God!
45:01Oh, boy!
45:03It's almost gone!
45:05Let me try this.
45:07No, that's going to dissolve as well!
45:09Have you got a better idea?
45:11I don't know!
45:13Wait a minute!
45:15Give me this wire.
45:17All right!
45:19We need power!
45:21Electric power!
45:23Got any ideas?
45:25Think fast!
45:29Carbassi!
45:31Right! Go!
45:33Okay!
45:35Come on!
45:37Hurry!
45:39There's not much left!
45:41Oh!
45:43I hope high school science
45:45has a place in real life!
45:47Come on! There's not much time!
45:49It's gone!
45:51Hurry!
45:53Coming!
45:55All right!
45:57Okay! Go!
45:59Go!
46:01You've got to help me!
46:03I can't get close enough!
46:05Grab onto me and pray!
46:07Ready?
46:09Okay!
46:11Go!
46:13Okay!
46:15It's coming!
46:17It's coming!
46:19Just a little further!
46:25Come on!
46:27It's moving!
46:29All right!
46:31Come on!
46:37Oh, boy!
46:39Detective!
46:41Hello!
46:43Mr. Steele, I thought
46:45you might like to have this
46:47as a souvenir of sorts.
46:49Well, it's not exactly
46:51an autographed picture
46:53of Tommy Lasorda,
46:55but under the circumstances...
46:57And Major Descoyne?
46:59A small plane like that
47:01can land almost anyplace.
47:03We're still looking,
47:05but I'm afraid the best
47:08is yet to come.
47:10Well, accepted and appreciated.
47:12Now you're going to tell me
47:14what's going on?
47:16Detective?
47:18Miss Krebs?
47:20Mildred.
47:22Miss Krebs,
47:24there was a man named
47:26Henry Spellman.
47:28Come to think of it,
47:30this is really more you.
47:32Oh, the key to your innocence
47:34locked in my heart?
47:36You will never again leave me
47:38for my own good.
47:40It's a promise.
47:50I've never liked
47:52that machine.
