WEBVTT - The Only Suspect

0:00:01.240 --> 0:00:04.320
<v Speaker 1>A note to the listener. The following story contains some

0:00:04.400 --> 0:00:18.880
<v Speaker 1>adult content and language. Once was a square, such a square,

0:00:18.960 --> 0:00:24.160
<v Speaker 1>little square, and he loved the trim triangle. But she

0:00:24.320 --> 0:00:27.400
<v Speaker 1>was a flirt, and around a skirt vainly she made

0:00:27.480 --> 0:00:31.160
<v Speaker 1>him dangle. Oh, he wanted the wed, and he had

0:00:31.240 --> 0:00:34.199
<v Speaker 1>no dread at the mess that woes and wrangles, for

0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:37.680
<v Speaker 1>he thought that his fate was to pro cuiriate cute

0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:45.279
<v Speaker 1>little squares and triangles. That's a good one. Girl has

0:00:45.320 --> 0:00:49.000
<v Speaker 1>a dream. Girl moves to tinseltown. Girl gets a day

0:00:49.080 --> 0:00:53.360
<v Speaker 1>job where girl meets doctor, renowned playboy doctor. The doctor

0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:55.920
<v Speaker 1>falls for the girl. Maybe the girl rejects the doctor.

0:00:56.000 --> 0:00:58.160
<v Speaker 1>The doctor doesn't like that because the doctor is used

0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:00.800
<v Speaker 1>to getting what he wants. The girl is later found

0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:03.800
<v Speaker 1>dissected in a parking lot. Must have been the doctor.

0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:07.400
<v Speaker 1>That's the only theory that I've ever read about the

0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:11.480
<v Speaker 1>prime suspect in the Angel of Vine case. And unfortunately

0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:13.840
<v Speaker 1>for Dr Adler Harrison, it was the only theory that

0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:17.920
<v Speaker 1>anyone read. Montgomery, Palmer and the detectives in the investigation

0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:22.080
<v Speaker 1>had nothing. They were grasping at straws from the get go,

0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:25.520
<v Speaker 1>and due to the geographic happenstance of Marlene and Adler's

0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:30.440
<v Speaker 1>respective workplaces. Adler was the longest straw, and so the

0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:32.920
<v Speaker 1>media paid more attention to the possibility of his guilt

0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:37.039
<v Speaker 1>than his actual exoneration. This led to the end of

0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:40.800
<v Speaker 1>a prominent medical career and any aspirations as a Hollywood socialite.

0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:45.360
<v Speaker 1>Harrison was doctor to the Stars. He ran with the

0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:48.200
<v Speaker 1>original rat pack, which did not include Sammy and Dean.

0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:52.560
<v Speaker 1>By the way, Sinatra recall Bogard, Hepburn, Spencer, Tracy. The

0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:57.920
<v Speaker 1>list goes on. He was hob nobbing with royalty, but

0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:01.120
<v Speaker 1>once Confidential magazine to follow up off piece labeling him

0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:06.240
<v Speaker 1>the Surgeon Slasher, he became an instant pariah, ousted from

0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:10.080
<v Speaker 1>high society as well as their annual physicals, and so

0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:13.400
<v Speaker 1>Adler Harrison disappeared from the public eye along with his practice.

0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:18.480
<v Speaker 1>But if Adler Harrison really is innocent, then why is

0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:20.320
<v Speaker 1>he standing in the office of the man who might

0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:22.480
<v Speaker 1>know where Marlene Marie Evans was the night of her

0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:32.519
<v Speaker 1>death from Vox Populai and the Los Angeles. Harold, this

0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:41.960
<v Speaker 1>is the Angel of Vine. My old heart ain't gaining

0:02:42.320 --> 0:03:02.200
<v Speaker 1>no ground because my angels appies here. Drop up the script.

0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:04.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, no, need to get up. I could just

0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:09.280
<v Speaker 1>hand it right to it. I'm sorry, he just ship.

0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:14.160
<v Speaker 1>Should I call security? You're Adler, Harrison Adler. Should I

0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:16.320
<v Speaker 1>call security? No? Not if you want to keep your

0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:18.800
<v Speaker 1>job you want. I don't think Leonard shouted be too

0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:20.880
<v Speaker 1>happy to know that just any random stranger could get

0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:24.960
<v Speaker 1>into his office. All right, just calm down, that won't

0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:27.839
<v Speaker 1>be necessary, imagin Just close the door and go back

0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:35.080
<v Speaker 1>to work. Yes, Adler, who are you? Doesn't concern you,

0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:39.120
<v Speaker 1>says the man who's breaking and entering. What are you

0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:42.080
<v Speaker 1>doing here? You don't get to ask the questions right now?

0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:44.840
<v Speaker 1>You're not supposed to be in here? What were you

0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:47.320
<v Speaker 1>looking for in there? Where the hell do you get

0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:50.560
<v Speaker 1>off telling me where I am and am not supposed

0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:53.800
<v Speaker 1>to be? So you're saying, that's Leonard Show secretary. That's

0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:55.960
<v Speaker 1>what you're telling me. Sure you want to stick to

0:03:56.080 --> 0:04:02.280
<v Speaker 1>that story. That's not show secretary. That is Mr Shaw's secretary.

0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:06.360
<v Speaker 1>Why wouldn't you think she was his girl? His girl?

0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:09.120
<v Speaker 1>You Hollywood people have got a strange way of thinking.

0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:14.880
<v Speaker 1>Because she calls you Adler genius twice, you should tell

0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:18.520
<v Speaker 1>your lookout to be a little more formal. Mr Harrison

0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:25.800
<v Speaker 1>ah Shaw is not going to improve of this. Have

0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:30.280
<v Speaker 1>you two shacking up? Shall send you to spy on me? No,

0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:34.840
<v Speaker 1>you didn't send me, but she'll get caught eventually. Actually

0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:38.679
<v Speaker 1>never met the man towards the plan you do ransack

0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:42.400
<v Speaker 1>in the office running away together. What if you don't

0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:45.960
<v Speaker 1>tell me why you're here? I may change my mind

0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:52.920
<v Speaker 1>about that call to security. What the hell I'm invested

0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:57.279
<v Speaker 1>getting a murder? Yeah? Funny, I should find you here,

0:04:57.279 --> 0:05:00.520
<v Speaker 1>don't you thank you? Murder? Well? What the hell would

0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:03.360
<v Speaker 1>Leonard Shawn know about a murder? I don't know yet,

0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:05.680
<v Speaker 1>but I wouldn't share that with you if I did.

0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:09.719
<v Speaker 1>Fair enough, I went she I'm going to be back.

0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:14.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Well, seeing as I'm already here, maybe

0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:16.880
<v Speaker 1>you can clear up a few things for me. I

0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:20.279
<v Speaker 1>would rather we do this elsewhere. You're afraid of image

0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:23.040
<v Speaker 1>and all of a sudden, we can talk to my office.

0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:27.680
<v Speaker 1>Your office, Yes, my office. I'm the studios doctor, not

0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:33.960
<v Speaker 1>a damn production liey. Congratulations, Yeah, sure, I can't wait

0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:43.960
<v Speaker 1>to see what you've done with the place. From here,

0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:46.719
<v Speaker 1>they take a long, silent walk across the lot to

0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:50.640
<v Speaker 1>Adler's office. All you can hear are their footsteps and

0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:53.400
<v Speaker 1>a bicycle ball at one point, to which Adler responds,

0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:58.440
<v Speaker 1>good morning. It felt very intense, and I'll admit that

0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:01.400
<v Speaker 1>that maybe that's because of all the questions running rampant

0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:03.360
<v Speaker 1>through my mind while listening to it for the first time.

0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:07.719
<v Speaker 1>But why wouldn't it be tense? This man was a

0:06:07.760 --> 0:06:11.200
<v Speaker 1>potential killer who had either a sixth sense of humor

0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:14.600
<v Speaker 1>or an involuntary sense of irony, because the only thing

0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:17.479
<v Speaker 1>he asked Hank on the walk was this, have you

0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:22.040
<v Speaker 1>seen that new picture? Twelve angry men? I have not. Mhm,

0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:29.520
<v Speaker 1>you should? Everyone should. I want to take a moment

0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:31.880
<v Speaker 1>here to acknowledge those of you who have followed the

0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:34.280
<v Speaker 1>angel le Vine prior to this podcast and have been

0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:38.320
<v Speaker 1>waiting very patiently for this part of the story. Immediately

0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:42.440
<v Speaker 1>following our first episode, I started getting tweets and emails

0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:45.320
<v Speaker 1>like it was Dr Harrison, wasn't it? Oh, come on,

0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:48.159
<v Speaker 1>you can tell me? Or is there anything new with

0:06:48.200 --> 0:06:52.279
<v Speaker 1>Adler Harrison. The most popular sentiment by far was similar

0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:54.839
<v Speaker 1>to this, please tell me there's a tape of Adler

0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:59.120
<v Speaker 1>Harrison's confession. Please. Almost every character of that tweet was

0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:02.720
<v Speaker 1>any and I get it even I jumped the gun

0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:05.080
<v Speaker 1>and brought up Adler's involvement more than a few times

0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:08.120
<v Speaker 1>prior to this episode. Actually, I would cite his name

0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:11.440
<v Speaker 1>while recording these little transitions, and my producer would tell

0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:14.400
<v Speaker 1>me I couldn't because anyone unfamiliar with the case wouldn't

0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:17.720
<v Speaker 1>understand what the hell I was talking about. Well, here

0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:20.240
<v Speaker 1>we are. We're finally going to get everyone caught up.

0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:25.080
<v Speaker 1>It's the attraction to the unknown. Here, the what if.

0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:29.000
<v Speaker 1>Let's say that everything that we can research in this

0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:32.480
<v Speaker 1>case about dr Adler Harrison is analogous to your typical

0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:35.840
<v Speaker 1>Sunday flea market. Right. You go back, maybe not every week,

0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:38.920
<v Speaker 1>but often enough that you're sure you've seen everything it

0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:43.880
<v Speaker 1>has to offer. Um rusted soft drink signs, stainless steel lighters,

0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:47.640
<v Speaker 1>and loose pezz Dispenser's restored mid century living room set,

0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:50.760
<v Speaker 1>a radio flyer full of old toys. But you you

0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:53.160
<v Speaker 1>can't help but look around, just in case there's something

0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:56.520
<v Speaker 1>you may have missed, maybe some unknown treasure, something that

0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:59.360
<v Speaker 1>looks like junk, but it it's actually worth a fortune.

0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:01.840
<v Speaker 1>The seven all our oil painting that turned out to

0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:07.680
<v Speaker 1>be an original renoir. But that's the thing. No matter

0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:10.440
<v Speaker 1>how many times you go back, there's never a rent war.

0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:15.600
<v Speaker 1>It's always the same information as before. But there is

0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:20.680
<v Speaker 1>an almost rabid fascination with Adler. Theorists and self proclaimed

0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:23.160
<v Speaker 1>fanatics of this case have gone as far as to

0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:26.760
<v Speaker 1>create anagrams from his name, as if that were going

0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:30.040
<v Speaker 1>to uncover some long lost clue. And if you can

0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:34.280
<v Speaker 1>tell me the significance of overran harmless adrenaline, I will

0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:37.160
<v Speaker 1>personally let you host the final episode of this podcast.

0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:43.160
<v Speaker 1>So why, hm, why are we so sure that he

0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:46.400
<v Speaker 1>did it? It isn't because the press of the police

0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:51.439
<v Speaker 1>told us that he was the most logical suspect. It's

0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:59.040
<v Speaker 1>because he was the most logical suspect exhibiting. Marlen Murray

0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:02.240
<v Speaker 1>Evans worked part time as a receptionist for a pediatrist

0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:06.560
<v Speaker 1>in the same medical building that housed Adler's practice. What

0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:10.760
<v Speaker 1>got the attention of the police was Exhibit B numerous

0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:13.720
<v Speaker 1>accounts of Marlene and Adler seen together around the common

0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:19.199
<v Speaker 1>areas of the building Exhibit C. One very specific account

0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:21.800
<v Speaker 1>was that of Anderson Lobli, one of the security guards

0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:26.080
<v Speaker 1>at Midway Hospital. He recalls Adler visibly upset while talking

0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:28.400
<v Speaker 1>to Marlene He said he remembered thinking he would have

0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:31.920
<v Speaker 1>to intervene when Adler grabbed her by the arm. But

0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:35.960
<v Speaker 1>Exhibit D was what led to his arrest, the fact

0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:40.439
<v Speaker 1>that he wasn't just any old doctor. One. He had

0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:44.240
<v Speaker 1>access to both pentobarbital and cicco barbatal, the drugs found

0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:49.360
<v Speaker 1>in marlene system. Two. Adler's father, Dr Richard Harrison, was

0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:53.120
<v Speaker 1>a neurosurgeon who studied under one of the pioneers of neurosurgery,

0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:55.679
<v Speaker 1>Harvey Cushing, so we can assume that from an early

0:09:55.720 --> 0:10:00.280
<v Speaker 1>age Adler was exposed to knowledge of the human spine. Three.

0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:03.839
<v Speaker 1>Adler was set to follow in his father's footsteps after

0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:07.679
<v Speaker 1>medical school, so he would have been well versed in anatomy, dissection,

0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:13.040
<v Speaker 1>and the ability to deftly wield sharp surgical instruments. Four.

0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:18.800
<v Speaker 1>Neurosurgery was in its infant stage. Back surgery required large

0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:22.800
<v Speaker 1>posterior incisions, or more graphically, cutting through the muscle and

0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:26.280
<v Speaker 1>tissue of the back. It's a reach, but it was

0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:28.959
<v Speaker 1>similar enough to the way Marley Marie Evans was mutilated

0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:32.280
<v Speaker 1>that the detectives arrested Adler in his office three days

0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:35.760
<v Speaker 1>after she was found. But with a lack of evidence

0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:38.160
<v Speaker 1>and a decent alibi that placed him out of town

0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:42.040
<v Speaker 1>at the time of the murder. They couldn't hold him.

0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:45.240
<v Speaker 1>Adler Harrison was released from police custody and became a

0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:47.400
<v Speaker 1>dead end the moment he walked out of that precinct.

0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:54.680
<v Speaker 1>So where were are you at night? You're not even

0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:58.520
<v Speaker 1>slightly amazing. I wasn't trying to be Okay, who are you,

0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:03.360
<v Speaker 1>thank brag. I'm a private investigator who hired you. Where

0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:06.800
<v Speaker 1>were you the night of the murder? You're kidding? You said,

0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:09.640
<v Speaker 1>wait until we were in your office. We're in your office. Now,

0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:13.200
<v Speaker 1>where were you? I was cleared, not by me, you weren't.

0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:23.520
<v Speaker 1>Don't make me ask you again. I was in Phoenix. Yeah, yeah,

0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:26.120
<v Speaker 1>I read the statement from the surgeon at Northern Mount Hospital.

0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:28.280
<v Speaker 1>What the part I missed was what you were doing there?

0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:32.680
<v Speaker 1>I can't answer that. Don't give me that doctor patient

0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:36.679
<v Speaker 1>confidentiality speech you gave the detectives. I'm not a cup

0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:41.160
<v Speaker 1>and I don't have to behave like one. How would

0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:47.320
<v Speaker 1>you like drink talk? My patient was shooting a movie

0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:50.880
<v Speaker 1>on location and felt ill. Then I have doctors in Phoenix.

0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:55.880
<v Speaker 1>You must know who some of my patients were, and

0:11:56.000 --> 0:11:58.360
<v Speaker 1>it is essential to them, not only to them, to

0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:03.600
<v Speaker 1>their employers at their reputations remain protective. I don't care

0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:06.440
<v Speaker 1>about patients, studios, and reputations. The only thing I care

0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:08.440
<v Speaker 1>about right now is that I'm not talking to the

0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:10.640
<v Speaker 1>man who killed an innocent woman. Oh Christ, will you

0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:16.280
<v Speaker 1>shut your trap already? Bonanza Airlines round trip. I wasn't

0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:20.440
<v Speaker 1>anywhere near Los Angeles. You told me to shoot anything again,

0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:25.840
<v Speaker 1>and you're gonna taste that disk. You always keep your

0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:29.680
<v Speaker 1>boarding passes? Uh No, But under the whirlwind of circumstances

0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:31.200
<v Speaker 1>I returned to I thought it would be best to

0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:35.640
<v Speaker 1>hold onto that one. Smart. It was an emergency appendect

0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:38.880
<v Speaker 1>to me. Okay, while they were filming, my patient experienced

0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:41.480
<v Speaker 1>an abdominal pain severe enough that he fell off his horse.

0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:45.520
<v Speaker 1>Why wouldn't you just tell the cops that, Oh come on,

0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:47.839
<v Speaker 1>and he was a leading man, a cowboy falling off

0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:51.720
<v Speaker 1>his horse. Can you imagine Hopper's headlines? No, I took

0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:56.800
<v Speaker 1>my job very seriously, and I still do what happened

0:12:56.800 --> 0:13:00.480
<v Speaker 1>that day you grabbed Marline. I never grabbed her. I

0:13:00.480 --> 0:13:03.480
<v Speaker 1>don't know why Anderson. I don't know why he would

0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:08.719
<v Speaker 1>say that, other than he's yearning for the spotlight. You

0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:11.040
<v Speaker 1>know how it is when you rent a cops. But

0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:17.160
<v Speaker 1>you did have an altercation. She was always flirtatious, a

0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:22.079
<v Speaker 1>lovely smile. I thought we were flirtatious. It was wrong,

0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:25.280
<v Speaker 1>I guess she uh if you had heard about my reputation,

0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:28.000
<v Speaker 1>went too many stories about nights out on the strip.

0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:30.839
<v Speaker 1>And she wouldn't accompany me to dinner. She was afraid

0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:33.040
<v Speaker 1>that people would immediately assume the wrong idea of her.

0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:37.640
<v Speaker 1>I told her she was being ridiculous. She didn't deserve that,

0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:41.560
<v Speaker 1>and she just left the way she was. You saw

0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:46.920
<v Speaker 1>the crime scene photos, Yeah, the first thing they showed

0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:52.719
<v Speaker 1>me when they brought me in to quote Detective Perkins,

0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:57.920
<v Speaker 1>Maybe this will shake you up. What can you tell

0:13:57.960 --> 0:14:00.319
<v Speaker 1>me about Leonard Shaw? What do you I don't know.

0:14:01.120 --> 0:14:05.880
<v Speaker 1>He's quite the entertainer I hear, mm hmm. It was

0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:08.640
<v Speaker 1>not for a while now, Well then it must be

0:14:08.679 --> 0:14:10.800
<v Speaker 1>pretty quiet and bell air these days from what I

0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:18.280
<v Speaker 1>heard about those parties. What what was that? What that's smirk?

0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:23.320
<v Speaker 1>Let's smirk? You smirk just now? What didn't smirked? What

0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:26.520
<v Speaker 1>aren't you telling me you are out of here? Don't

0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:34.800
<v Speaker 1>you ship ad at me? What? Doctor patient confidentiality. He's sick, yeah,

0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:38.480
<v Speaker 1>and he pays me a lot of money to make

0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:41.400
<v Speaker 1>sure that stays out of the papers. Well, I need

0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:44.240
<v Speaker 1>to see him. Well, I wish you the best of

0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:48.080
<v Speaker 1>luck in your endeavors. I need to ask him some questions, Adler,

0:14:49.360 --> 0:14:51.600
<v Speaker 1>And you want me to do? What? Interrupt his ranting

0:14:51.640 --> 0:14:54.520
<v Speaker 1>to say, Oh, Leonard, this p I just broke into

0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:55.840
<v Speaker 1>your office and he wants to give you the third

0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:58.200
<v Speaker 1>degree in the privacy of your own home. I think

0:14:58.200 --> 0:15:01.360
<v Speaker 1>you should hear him out. I mean, m hm. He

0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:04.320
<v Speaker 1>would certainly find the energy to crack a Brandy snifter

0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:06.800
<v Speaker 1>across my skull. I don't really care how you get

0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:10.640
<v Speaker 1>me in there. Give him this and tell him I

0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:13.680
<v Speaker 1>won't take up much of his time. What could he

0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:28.480
<v Speaker 1>possibly have to offer you? Sorry, investigator client confidentiality. Now,

0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:33.160
<v Speaker 1>to all the devotees, theorists and fanatics, I don't know

0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:35.800
<v Speaker 1>what to tell you, and I have a feeling many

0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:37.960
<v Speaker 1>of you maybe in doubt after all, and I'm playing

0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:41.360
<v Speaker 1>devil's advocate here. We can't see what Adler placed on

0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:44.440
<v Speaker 1>the desk. We don't know if the boarding pass was real,

0:15:44.600 --> 0:15:50.720
<v Speaker 1>right it was his alibi checked out? And you don't

0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:57.520
<v Speaker 1>have to take my word for it. Take Hanks. Oh no,

0:15:58.400 --> 0:15:59.880
<v Speaker 1>there's no way you're getting me up in one of

0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:07.360
<v Speaker 1>those things. He sunny legs, looking better. Yeah, the old

0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:09.840
<v Speaker 1>lady says, you can hardly notice a limp anymore. How's

0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:13.160
<v Speaker 1>she doing? Same? Old ready to pop? I tell you,

0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:16.480
<v Speaker 1>hoping for a little boy, just out for healthy with

0:16:16.520 --> 0:16:20.000
<v Speaker 1>ten fingers and ten toes. You know it. Hank's staying

0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:22.720
<v Speaker 1>out of trouble. You know who I am. The more bars,

0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:26.840
<v Speaker 1>the more more cop bars. Anyway, Well that makes two

0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:29.680
<v Speaker 1>of us. How's that doing it? I haven't heard from him.

0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:32.400
<v Speaker 1>Yanked him right off the street after all of that,

0:16:32.760 --> 0:16:35.600
<v Speaker 1>stuck him trapped in a box. Those guys were killed.

0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:39.360
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't gonna let that happen. You're a good kid,

0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:43.200
<v Speaker 1>always been a good kid. You just gotta stop stepping

0:16:43.200 --> 0:16:45.720
<v Speaker 1>in piles of trouble. No more of that for me, Hank.

0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:49.480
<v Speaker 1>I promised you guys, straight and narrow, good boy. I mean,

0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:55.880
<v Speaker 1>other than this, this doesn't count. Do you get the list? Yep?

0:16:58.640 --> 0:17:02.800
<v Speaker 1>That's the one. YEA got it? What can I see?

0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:09.199
<v Speaker 1>It's Sonny? Oh oh yeah, yeah, and uh he got

0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:12.240
<v Speaker 1>what you're looking for, the son of a bitch was

0:17:12.280 --> 0:17:18.960
<v Speaker 1>in Phoenix. Yeah, yeah, it does here you go for

0:17:19.000 --> 0:17:23.160
<v Speaker 1>your troubles. Oh yeah, if I spotty? Are you sure

0:17:23.920 --> 0:17:26.359
<v Speaker 1>you're better? Positive? Before I changed my mind? Put that

0:17:26.400 --> 0:17:29.960
<v Speaker 1>list back where you found it. You gotta heck, let's

0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:32.639
<v Speaker 1>see how to add for me, will you? And thanks?

0:17:37.119 --> 0:17:41.280
<v Speaker 1>Come on, Hank, thank you. Headler didn't do it, then,

0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:48.119
<v Speaker 1>who the hell did? That's the sixty four question, sounder, bitch,

0:17:50.400 --> 0:17:56.240
<v Speaker 1>Let's see how much of this we got left? No Shaw,

0:17:57.200 --> 0:18:04.159
<v Speaker 1>no more Adler, no their leads. The five tapes that

0:18:04.240 --> 0:18:09.800
<v Speaker 1>follow are of Hank from his office. He's talking to himself, pacing, cursing,

0:18:10.359 --> 0:18:13.040
<v Speaker 1>racking his brain to the point of mental exhaustion. On

0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:15.399
<v Speaker 1>one tape, he falls asleep, and it's nothing but snoring

0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:19.080
<v Speaker 1>for four hours. He tries to make sense out of

0:18:19.240 --> 0:18:23.159
<v Speaker 1>literally nothing, everything short of anagrams of Adler's name. He

0:18:23.280 --> 0:18:27.200
<v Speaker 1>goes over every detail we've covered so far, and then

0:18:27.200 --> 0:18:30.719
<v Speaker 1>he goes over all of it again. He reads the autopsy,

0:18:30.800 --> 0:18:35.040
<v Speaker 1>Perkins crime scene report, picks apart every sentence of Adler's file,

0:18:35.119 --> 0:18:37.960
<v Speaker 1>and the only conclusion that he comes to is that someone,

0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:42.720
<v Speaker 1>at one point everyone is lying to him. He starts

0:18:42.720 --> 0:18:45.639
<v Speaker 1>to sound a little desperate and juvenile, sometimes drunk and

0:18:45.680 --> 0:18:51.480
<v Speaker 1>incredibly onely. I felt sorry for him, but that faded

0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:53.800
<v Speaker 1>quickly when I remember that Hank had a family through

0:18:53.840 --> 0:18:58.280
<v Speaker 1>all of this, his wife Lois, seven year old Phillis,

0:18:58.320 --> 0:19:02.440
<v Speaker 1>and her younger sister Arlene. In my own mental exhaustion,

0:19:02.560 --> 0:19:06.960
<v Speaker 1>my marathon of listening to tape after tape, I still

0:19:07.040 --> 0:19:09.120
<v Speaker 1>had no idea how long it had been since he'd

0:19:09.160 --> 0:19:14.040
<v Speaker 1>been home, and I remembered my exchange with Phyllis. My

0:19:14.119 --> 0:19:16.479
<v Speaker 1>mother used to say, all he cared about was that

0:19:16.560 --> 0:19:20.360
<v Speaker 1>dead girl met and Angel. It makes more sense now.

0:19:21.600 --> 0:19:27.440
<v Speaker 1>Gi was a tough cookie, all right, Maybe the mccombo

0:19:27.560 --> 0:19:31.960
<v Speaker 1>or the truck. Are you kidding me? It's gonna have

0:19:32.000 --> 0:19:35.160
<v Speaker 1>any idea? What the hell you're talking about it? You're

0:19:35.280 --> 0:19:47.040
<v Speaker 1>an idiot, damn it. Two little girls you've fostered. Calm down,

0:19:47.200 --> 0:19:49.399
<v Speaker 1>What the hell did you? You don't forget about me?

0:19:49.440 --> 0:19:51.399
<v Speaker 1>I don't care about me. You can tell me to

0:19:51.480 --> 0:19:52.960
<v Speaker 1>go to hell for all though. All I care about

0:19:53.040 --> 0:19:56.159
<v Speaker 1>but what they missed? You working, always working for? What?

0:19:56.840 --> 0:19:59.800
<v Speaker 1>Take her home? What you like? Other propos lives better

0:19:59.840 --> 0:20:04.000
<v Speaker 1>than yours? This of this, piles and piles of ship

0:20:07.680 --> 0:20:10.560
<v Speaker 1>and who's watching the kids look at this thing. Damn it.

0:20:10.680 --> 0:20:13.200
<v Speaker 1>This wasn't cheap, the kids of the dotty It's not

0:20:13.320 --> 0:20:15.280
<v Speaker 1>been the damn thing. Well, why do you even need

0:20:15.320 --> 0:20:17.119
<v Speaker 1>to turn it on? You had no business bringing it

0:20:17.240 --> 0:20:19.639
<v Speaker 1>down here. And I'm on a case. Hen turn that

0:20:19.800 --> 0:20:22.479
<v Speaker 1>thing off. I think better with it on. There's too

0:20:22.480 --> 0:20:24.919
<v Speaker 1>many thoughts to connect that I don't know when something's

0:20:24.920 --> 0:20:28.560
<v Speaker 1>gonna click. You're worry me, man, This this is the work.

0:20:28.960 --> 0:20:31.680
<v Speaker 1>Ain't not gonna worry about what says? You've been hold

0:20:31.720 --> 0:20:35.280
<v Speaker 1>maybe five times in the past month. It's able. Have

0:20:35.400 --> 0:20:37.960
<v Speaker 1>you been sleeping here when I got to explain myself

0:20:38.040 --> 0:20:44.240
<v Speaker 1>to you now too? And I had a lead. Go home, Hank,

0:20:45.600 --> 0:21:10.720
<v Speaker 1>see your daughters, and this is the work. Yeah. I

0:21:10.760 --> 0:21:13.399
<v Speaker 1>can only assume that Hank made an occasional appearance at

0:21:13.440 --> 0:21:16.240
<v Speaker 1>home because there were no further visits from Lois or ed.

0:21:17.520 --> 0:21:21.000
<v Speaker 1>That said, the next eleven tapes of Hank are more

0:21:21.080 --> 0:21:23.679
<v Speaker 1>of the same of what I described earlier. He sounds

0:21:23.720 --> 0:21:28.600
<v Speaker 1>almost manic at times as he airs his frustrations. Eleven

0:21:28.720 --> 0:21:33.000
<v Speaker 1>tapes weeks of self imposed mental torture over a lack

0:21:33.080 --> 0:21:35.600
<v Speaker 1>of clairvoyance. What am I missing? What am I not seeing?

0:21:37.600 --> 0:21:40.600
<v Speaker 1>What he couldn't have seen were the two looming phone

0:21:40.640 --> 0:22:03.119
<v Speaker 1>calls that would change everything. Hey Briggs Hello. The Angel
