- Quotes
John Sato: Somebody shot Art Malcolm and killed his bride. Unfortunate, but what does that have to do with me?
Joe Mannix: One of your cars was identified leaving the scene.
John Sato: My cars?
Lt. Bob Naylor: Acme Rental. We got the license number.
John Sato: Mr. Grant here handles my business affairs. Uh, Acme ours, Vic?
Vic Grant: Yes, it is. Those cars at Acme are parked in an open lot, Lieutenant. We've had several cases of theft lately, which we reported. Check your files.
John Sato: Just who was it that saw the car?
Lt. Bob Naylor: Lieutenant Malcolm.
John Sato: Malcolm? Everybody knows he's been on my back. He'd try to hang anything he could on me.
[presses the button on the intercom that's on the table beside him]
John Sato: Bernie.
Bernie Moss: [over intercom] Yes, Mr. Sato?
John Sato: Cigar.
[turns back to Lt. Naylor]
John Sato: Now, listen to me, Lieutenant, you tell Malcolm this time he struck out.
Vic Grant: Mr. Sato can account for the entire evening.
Joe Mannix: Okay, let's start with 9:30.
John Sato: [pointing at Lt. Naylor] I account to him, Mannix. You don't even have any right being here.
Lt. Bob Naylor: He's working with us on this case.
Joe Mannix: [Bernie walks up to Sato with a box of cigars] Hello, Bernie.
John Sato: You two know each other?
Joe Mannix: Mr. Moss and I have met before. Dark alley one night.
John Sato: Uh-huh. Well, Bernie's through with the rough stuff now that he's working for me. Right, Bernie?
Bernie Moss: That's right, Mr. Sato.
Lt. Bob Naylor: Where were you tonight?
Bernie Moss: Right here, waiting for Mr. Sato to come home. You can check.
Lt. Bob Naylor: Oh, I will.
John Sato: It's all right, Bernie.
Lt. Bob Naylor: He said you were coming home. From where?
John Sato: Vic and I were at a dinner party at the Beverly Bedford. A hundred people will tell you we didn't leave before midnight.
Joe Mannix: And you have no idea who could have been driving the car from Acme Rental?
Vic Grant: How could he? I told you, the car was probably stolen.
John Sato: Look, Lieutenant, there are a lot of clowns around who'd like to see Malcolm buried. And every one of them's got a match. Talk to them.
The show starts with Art unexpectedly marrying a woman he recently met. However, when they leave after the wedding, a gunman shoots both Malcolm and his new bride...killing her. The most likely guy behind all this is a mobster named Sato...but he swears he's innocent and has witnesses that he was no where near the wedding. But Art later inexplicably starts running about...doing things that make him look guilty when Sato ends up dead. Can Mannix manage to save an old friend and figure out what's REALLY going on here?
This whole story hinges on the notion that a person can be hypnotized and made to do a lot of crazy things...something that isn't possible (I have significant training in hypnosis). So for me, the episode was pretty bad...and I figured out all along who was behind all this. Not one of the better ones, that's for sure, due to bad writing.
