:04:00
What's up? Oh, Mr. Beckett, I'm glad...
:04:03
I got this call from Susanna Blush:
two-by-fours, Calver Weems, Lawrence Welk...

:04:06
I'm glad you're here. I got a real
scoop... pictures and everything.

:04:09
I've been trying to get the story from
Walter Cronkite here, but he just won't give.

:04:13
- What's this all about?
- I don't know. He's so keyed up.

:04:16
- Will somebody listen to me?
- All right, Luther. Just calm down.

:04:19
Calm? Calm?
:04:22
Do "murder" and "calm"
go together?

:04:24
"Calm" and "murder"?
"Murder"?

:04:27
Murder?
Murder!

:04:29
Well, all right, Luther.
Let's hear it.

:04:31
All right! Well, I was out
on Warren Harding Road...

:04:34
and I passed the Simmons mansion when
all of a sudden I heard this scream...

:04:37
"Help! Help! Murder!"
Murder?

:04:39
Yeah, murder. Quick as a flash,
I whipped my Edsel around,

:04:41
I sped back to the scene of
the crime, got out of the car...

:04:44
and there it was.
:04:46
Do I have to tell you how I
felt when I saw it laying there?

:04:48
Saw what? The dead body of Calver Weems.
:04:52
He'd been bludgeoned
to death by a board.

:04:54
I'd better get somebody
out there right away.

:04:55
Did you see that happen? No, Susanna
Blush saw it. She's an eyewitness.

:04:59
- Susanna Blush.
- Yeah. Lives across the street. An eyewitness.

:05:02
Was she on the street? No, she saw it from
an upstairs window. Eyewitness, though.

:05:05
You said that, sonny. Did
you get pictures of the body?

:05:08
Left, right, profile, head-on. Fine, fine.
:05:10
You actually saw
the murder weapon, Luther?

:05:12
Yeah, a two-by-four.
I got a picture of it.

:05:14
Two-by-four?
Yeah! What's up?

:05:17
Don't bother us now, Calver.
We got a murder on our ha...

:05:20
Calver!
:05:22
Calver, what are you
doing here? You're dead!

:05:25
I knew it. I knew it.
I'm sorry, Chief.

:05:28
But... I saw you
layin' there...

:05:30
I want this drunk
thrown in the tank.

:05:33
Throw me in the tank? She's the one
that hit me! With a board that thick!

:05:38
What are you tryin' to do?
Make a fool out of me?

:05:40
You don't need much help,
scoop. Put him in number three.

:05:43
But you're dead!
I am not.

:05:45
I saw ya! I did too! You did not!
:05:46
You didn't. Didn't! Did! Did!
:05:47
Didn't! Didn't! Didn't!
Did! Did! Did!

:05:49
All right, you two.
That's enough.

:05:52
Come on, loved one.
But...

:05:59
But I got the pictures
and everything.
