"Suicides that were accidents, and accidents that paid off in murder." " McAdoo say yours is murder?" " I think it is." "Take it easy." "Ever been on a murder case before?" "Not exactly."

"Human hairs under low magnification." "PETER:" "They're darker at one end, aren't they?" "Mm-hm." "Dark end natural, white end bleached." " That makes it a blond." " or the murderer was a blond." " Then it was murder." " If it was murder." " So far, we've got blond hair." " Mm-hm." "Now, those leaves you brought in:" "Cape flora, low blueberry, poison ivy." "Here's the poison ivy." "Now, these plants stopped growing the day the body covered them." "They're almost in full leaf, the size they should be the end of May." " Then we know the date of the murder." " Well, not necessarily." "Suppose the body had been dead when brought there." " If it had been brought there." " Then, what have we got?" "Rough working date." "Say, the week of May 20th." "MAN:" "Your skeleton, lieutenant." "McADoo: oh, yes." "By the way, Pete, you'll have to go back and look for some more bones and sift the sand to a depth of at least a foot." " What for?" " She's not all here." " She?" " oh, yes, definitely a lady." "That was easy." "For example, let's take a look at John." "You'll notice that, like most men his head size is larger in proportion to the rest of his body." "He also has a little more jaw." "A woman's bones, on the other hand, are lighter, smaller and with less pronounced muscular attachments." "I suppose you'd like to know her age." "I'd also like to know her height, weight, occupation and the name and number of the person who murdered her." "We can answer all those questions except the last." " Age?" " Between 20 and 24." " Probably closer to 24." " That's only a guess, of course." "oh, not really." "You see, it isn't until you reach the age of 25 that all the bones get really solid." "She's just about completed that process." "Now, this is the last long bone to fuse into one piece." "As you can see, it's almost closed." " Um, occupation?" "Maybe?" "McADoo:" "What people do often marks them." "Sometimes psychologically, sometimes physically." "Uh, let's take this foot." "When this bone is this heavy, it makes me think she was a toe dancer." "Now, as to height, there are several ways." "The application of Pearson's Formula to this thighbone would indicate she was about 65 inches tall." "How was she killed, doctor?" "Haven't figured that out yet." " Here's a preliminary report, lieutenant." " oh, thank you." ""A woman, bleached blond, about 24, about 5'5" died in or about the week of May 20th, probably once a toe dancer. "" " Thank you, doctor." "McADoo:" "It's all right." "You've gotta find a face to put on that skull." "Is that all?" "You'll probably find not over 1000 girls missing on that day." " Approximately." " Approximately." " Goodbye." " Bye." "Four from Connecticut." "Two from vermont." "Twelve from Massachusetts." "Six from New Jersey." "Two from Maine." "A hundred and twenty-six from New York." " What do you think makes them do it?" " Do what?" "I wish I knew." "Then I'd tell my wife, and maybe she'd disappear." "Hey, this one's not bad." "Now, for the picture that fits her skull." " Look, these pictures are all different sizes." " That's right." "But all we've gotta do is find out how the photographs were made." "The camera used, the exposure, the focus what kind of film, what kind of paper it was printed on the distance from the camera, and then match it." "Look, who says this can even be done?" "McAdoo." "It was done once in Scotland." "Ha-ha." "Lieutenant, you're not young enough to start on this case." "Maybe." "But I'm dumb enough." "McADoo:" "No." "The eye sockets are too wide apart and the forehead's too prominent for this face." " How many do we have left?" " About eight, sir." " May be none of them, you know." " That's encouraging." "No, the jaw of the skull's too short for this girl." "PETER:" "Well, it wasn't a bad idea." "It was a good idea." "If the skull fits, it may not prove you have the right girl but if it doesn't fit, it certainly eliminates the wrong one." "Hmm." "Close." "How about it, doctor?" "Fairly close." " What number is this, Ben?" "BEN:" "That's Negative Number 3, sir." "McADoo:" "Mm-hm." "Length and width's all right." "Eye sockets, good." "Teeth, perfect." "I'd say this could be the girl." "That's good enough for me." ""Heldon, vivian." "Twenty-four, 5'5", reported missing by Jacqueline Elcott May 30th, 317 Bunker Street, Boston. " We check on it." "I'll call you later, doctor."

"They said she went out one night with a customer and never came back." "I pity the customer." "About a week later I got a picture from her room and sent it to the police." "SMERRLING:" "You should have consulted me." " Are her things still here?" "Well, all I found was her suitcase." "I put it in my room." "Let's have a look at it, huh?" "Excuse me."

"Please, tell me." " You sold her things, didn't you?" " I beg your pardon?" " Didn't you?" " Well..." "That can land you in jail, you know." "Well, after all, she did owe me two weeks' rent."

"I work the same place she worked." "I saw her leave that night with a man." "They drove away in a car and she never came back." "He killed her." "Now I wanna know, did you find him?" " Would you know him if we found him?" " I'd know him." "I'll never forget him." "What did he look like?" "Like a million other guys, but you show him to me and I'll know him." "You might not find it so easy." "She went with a lot of men." "Miss Heldon was a good girl." "A fine person." "When she didn't come back, I thought maybe she had a new job." "How well did you know her?" "You cops." "Always suspicious." "Know her?" "Sure, I knew her." "I was never close enough to smell her perfume but I knew her." "I'd have been willing to do anything for Miss Heldon." "She was beautiful." "She was sweet." "Always a nice word to me." "Find that guy." "I'll know him." "You find him and show him to me and I'll cram him into the electric chair for you." "Anytime you need me, I'll be around." "[phone RINGS]" "Lieutenant Moralas." "Who?" "All right, put him on." "You know, he was probably the only real friend Miss Heldon had." "Yes?" "I know, I know, but since her picture has been in the paper five thousand people think they saw her that night." "Where?" "Cape Cod?" "What's the exact address of your diner, Mr. Jasper?" "Will you be there this afternoon?" "You won't leave?" "Fine." "Want to come along?" "McADoo:" "All right." "Where's Sharkey?" "He's down on the Cape." "We're dragging every freshwater pond around Lakeman's Hollow to see what we can find." "McADoo:" "Good idea." "I thought so." "Let's go, huh?" " Well, thank you, Mr. Jasper." " You're welcome." " Goodbye." " Goodbye." "At least we got her this close to the scene of the crime." "Six miles." "That's about all." "Those guys must have been busy looking at the girl they didn't even see the man." " They'd know if he was quarreling with her." " Yeah, she was calling him "honey. "" "I wonder if that meant she liked you." "[CAR horn honking]" "PETER:" "Find anything?" " I was coming into Boston to see you." " They struck metal." "They're grappling for it." " Good, let's go."

"That Shanway said his car was stolen from in front of a hospital." "Maybe somebody stole it for this purpose." " Anyway, Pete, you better make sure." " I'll make sure." "officer:" "The two men with the hats take them off." "Now, all of you, turn around." "All the way around." "Face the wall." "Now, turn to the front again." "The two men nearest the door, you can leave." "The man on the far side, go out the way you come in." "You say you've never been in the Grass Skirt Café?" "That's right." "officer:" "And never went for a ride with vivian Heldon?" "That's right." "officer:" "You didn't stop at a lunch counter on the Cape?" " I didn't go out on the Cape. officer:" "Stand still." "Turn your face to the right." "Turn it to the left." "Now go out the way you came in." " That's him, I'll swear that's him." " He's lying." " He's the one." "PETER:" "All right, hold it." " May I?" "officer:" "Go ahead, lieutenant." "Are you all sure, now?" "JACKIE:" "I never saw him before." " You were asleep, dear." "The twice he came to the house you were asleep." "PETER:" "How many times did he call for Miss Heldon?" "SMERRLING:" "Exactly twice." "PETER:" "She left with him each time?" "No, no, this was after she disappeared." "After?" "Why, yes." "He came to ask about vivian, whether she was back." "But you didn't mention it." "Why?" "Well, I didn't..." "Well, you know how nervous the police make everybody." " Especially timid people like yourself." "SMERRLING:" "Thank you." "You..." "PETER:" "Save it." "Take them in there for statements." "GRACE:" "Lieutenant." "Lieutenant, please." "Just a second, please." "Those people..." "There must be some mistake." "They must be wrong." "Why, Henry couldn't have..." "You heard what they said, Mrs. Shanway." "No doubt in any of their minds." "I'm sorry." "After you left the diner, you took her out to Cape." "Why?" " I didn't." " You took her to kill her." "She wouldn't leave you alone because she was pregnant." "You were afraid your wife would find out, there was only one way to keep her quiet." " I didn't." " You stripped the body threw it behind some bushes, then got rid of your car." "She took my car." "I thought you didn't know who took your car." "That landlady says you went back to the house." "The house where vivian lived." "You asked for vivian said you were an old friend from out of town." "But you didn't know who vivian was so how did you know where she lived?" " I asked the bartender at that bar." "PETER:" "Mm - hm." "Well, I just wanted my car back." "I didn't know vivian was... vivian, huh?" "Before, you didn't know her." " Suddenly it's vivian." " That's what you called her, so..." "You went back there to establish an alibi." "No, to get my car." "Mr. Shanway, this isn't a trial." "I'm not determining whether you're guilty or innocent." "As a police officer, I'm only trying to get the facts." "Now, you may or may not be telling the truth." "I don't know." "But it is my duty to stay here until I find out." "Now, tell me the whole thing from the beginning." " Where's my wife?" " You'll get a chance to explain to her later." "You left the hospital about 9:00." "All right." "She picked me up." "I went with her." "We were at that lunch counter but I didn't kill her." "She left me stranded on the road." "She left me stranded!" "All right, all right." "Let's put it down." "We're at the hospital..." "BEN:" "Hi, lieutenant." " Hello, Dr. Levy." "How are you?" " Hi." " Hello, Pete." "Well, doctor, we indicted Henry Shanway." "So I've heard." "The first time you came to this office I told you our department is interested in facts." "Whom those facts affect, whether they mean guilt or innocence, is your job." "It'd be tough." "Mighty tough." "There's something you ought to know." "Remember that cracked rib I told you about?" "Yes." "It was broken by a bullet." " Why didn't you say so before?" " Spectrographic report just came through." "But our case is on the calendar for next week." "Bits of metal scraped from the broken edges of the rib proved to be from a bullet." "All right." " So he shot her." " Who shot her?" " Shanway." " Why are you so certain he shot her?" " Who else?" " Where's the gun?" "Where's the bullet?" "We've got enough on him without that." "Who are you trying to convince?" "You or me?" "Now, Shanway and Miss Heldon left the café at 11 p. m." "Somewhere between the lunch counter and Lakeman's Hollow she was shot and killed." "Great." "That's just great." "Where was she shot?" "In the car?" "out of the car?" "Four months ago, a bullet is fired somewhere between Boston and Barnstable." "A needle in a haystack." "McADoo:" "Where's the yellow Ford?" "In the county garage." "Why?" " Ever see an autopsy?" " No, not exactly my line." "I think I'll show you one." "I've got a theory." "Come on." " Hi, Charlie." "Ed." "CHARLIE:" "Hi, Pete." "Suppose you get in behind the wheel, huh?" "Hey, that's pretty dirty." "Here, you better use this." "Let's imagine you're vivian Heldon and Henry Shanway's story is true." "Now, you make a phone call from the lunch wagon to meet somebody." "Then get in the car and drive off and leave Shanway standing there." "In the five or six miles beyond the lunch wagon, you meet that person." "That's me." "I come around the car to talk to you here." "See, sit up this way the way she did." "Now, while you're talking, I take the gun from my pocket and fire it." "The bullet enters here, passes through the body shatters the rib and, from this angle, must have entered the car about there." "There is a little soft spot here." "Could be a bullet hole." "McADoo:" "Uh-huh." "Yeah, probably the water swelled it shut." "Hop out of the car." "McADoo:" "Thank you." "Now, let's see." "Yep, there's a hole, all right." "Here, hold the light, will you?" "Come down on this angle iron here." "Here it is." " It could still be Shanway." " Yeah, it could be." "Until you find the gun that fits that bullet and whoever fired it, you won't have proof." "Suppose Shanway is telling the truth." "Suppose the actual murderer goes free." " It's a. 45 caliber, isn't it?" " Uh-huh." "Might be an automatic." " Colt?" " We'll check it." "I'll check it against the lead we got off the girl's rib." "Thanks a lot, fellas." "I didn't know you were moving." "Now you know." "Lucky we dropped around." "Depends on how you look at it." "Any other questions?" "Why are you moving?" "You wanna pay the rent?" "We'll stay here." "No?" "Come, come, lieutenant don't tell me such things as rent never entered your mind." "Better wait, the law might wanna see if there's a hidden drawer in that." "Wouldn't you, lieutenant?" "or was this a social visit?" "There are a couple of things I didn't look into." "oh?" "My past, perhaps." "I had measles and whooping cough." "A couple of tickets for parking in no - parking zones." "Honeymoon in Niagara Falls." "I stole a towel from the hotel there." "Maybe you'd like to arrest me too." "No?" "Maybe my husband's mother then." "She comes from Kansas that's where they raise wheat." "I'm sure there must be a law against that somewhere." "Your husband said he didn't own a gun." "He was lying, of course." "In any case, I will have to search the apartment." "Why, certainly, lieutenant." "Why don't you rip open the mattress?" "I'm sure there's a gun there somewhere." "Grace, please." "Your husband had a checking account?" "What are we looking for, lieutenant?" "A check to vivian Heldon, perhaps?" "I would like to see the canceled check for the month of May." " Lieutenant..." " Never mind, Mother." "We must respect the law, you know?" "May 4th:" "Six dollars for a maternity dress." "May 15th: 9.35 for groceries." "There was a bottle of sherry in that order." "May 18th:" "Fourteen dollars for infants' wear." "Never used." "Never can be used." "May 29th: 14..."

" Did you see Mr. Beckett?" " oh, well..." "Well, I checked about him, darling and people say he's really not a very good lawyer." "But did you see him?" "Yes."

"Really, Mr. Harkley you don't think I'd leave it around here, do you?" "Not such a valuable trinket as that gun." "Not when the police want it as much as they do." "Not when you want it as much as you do." "Not when it's worth so much to me." "Suppose somebody else finds it before we do." " Impossible, dear boy." " Why?" "Because nobody knows where I put it."
