: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.
:34:02
- Tail the cat?
- He may take us to the criminals.
:34:05
That's all.
:34:06
Actually, I don't have
any experience in tailing cats.
:34:09
For that matter, who does?
:34:12
Sorry, sir. You wish me to set up
a surveillance on this informant,
:34:16
exactly as if we thought of him
as a person?
:34:20
Unless, of course, it works out better
to think of him as a cat.
:34:26
Sir, I think it's only fair to tell you,
I don't get on well with cats.
:34:30
There's a kind of an antagonism
between us.
:34:32
- Is that so?
- Yes, and I have a slight allergy.
:34:35
Allergy? I know the medical records
of every man in this office.
:34:39
Have you been keeping
something from me?
:34:41
It's a very small allergy, sir.
:34:43
- Hardly worth mentioning.
- Don't.
:34:45
Stay in touch. I'm available
on this case 24 hours a day.
:34:49
Yes, sir.
:34:53
Sir, it's just that every time
I'm around c...
:34:56
C... [loud sneeze]
:34:58
Gesundheit, and good luck.
