:32:01
How about bank robbery
and kidnapping?
:32:09
Maybe I'd better hear
the rest of your story.
:32:12
Thank you.
:32:14
Well, last night DC came home
wearing a wristwatch.
:32:20
- Wearing a wristwatch?
- Yes.
:32:22
- Instead of his collar.
- Oh.
:32:25
And I couldn't help thinking what
I would do if I were poor Miss Miller,
:32:30
held prisoner by two hoodlums,
:32:33
- and a stray cat came wandering in.
- Mm-hm.
:32:37
Don't you see? I'd try to put
something of mine on the cat as a clue.
:32:41
Like a wristwatch, maybe even
try to scratch something on it.
:32:44
Do you have this wristwatch?
:32:46
Mr. Kelso, I knew you'd understand.
That's why I selected you personally.
:32:51
Here.
:32:54
You see, of course, on the back,
:32:56
where she started to scratch
the word "help,"
:32:59
- and was interrupted.
- Uh-huh.
:33:00
"H-E..."
And that squiggle could be an "L."
:33:04
Well, that doesn't quite
spell "help," does it?
:33:08
She was wearing a wristwatch
at the time of her abduction.
:33:11
We have only a superficial description.
:33:13
- This may or may not be the watch.
- But wouldn't it be enough to start on?
:33:18
I wonder if you could wait here
for just a few moments?
:33:21
Of course. My entire day
is at your disposal.
:33:26
Thank you, Miss Randall.
:33:29
- It's a goofy idea.
- That's what I thought too, sir.
:33:32
- The only thing is, I like it.
- You do, sir?
:33:35
I don't like this paper chase
someone's leading us on.
:33:38
Those 20-dollar bills from the bank
we've been picking up
:33:41
- at convenient towns up the valley.
- They went in another direction?
:33:45
Or stayed here in the city.
This watch lead ties in with that.
:33:49
- How's your workload, Kelso?
- Me, sir?
:33:51
Uh, well, I'm going over
old bank records on Johnny the Cooch.
:33:54
- We're ready to trip him up.
- The Cooch can wait.
:33:57
Kidnapping takes priority.
:33:59
I want you to set up surveillance
and tail this cat.
