13:55

13:58

Come on, one side, brother. I'm

14:00

14:05

That is a possibility. Oh, my God! Nikki,

14:07

I came here to see a ball game,

14:09

and by the save, I'm seeing

14:11

it. Come on, you dumb people!

14:15

Oh, my God! Oh,

14:18

my God! Oh,

14:21

my God! Oh,

14:23

my God! Take

14:27

a swing with him, he's knocking over that fence! Come on, let's

14:29

go! Oh,

14:32

let's go! Here's

14:34

the sergeant back in the club room. That's my

14:36

gun. How's my poor dead back?

14:38

Look at that scoreboard. Ah,

14:41

strike! Oh, my God! Yes,

14:44

he's got it, sergeant, but it's only the fifth

14:46

inning. First 11, cleverly, get it, the game is over. Oh,

14:49

check that. There

14:52

you go, sergeant. First

14:54

11, cleverly, get it, the game is over. Which

14:57

sergeant? What about the game? Oh, check

14:59

that. There you

15:01

go, sergeant. Oh, Lord. See

15:04

you at the natural desk. No, poison

15:06

doctor just examined him. Check with fun.

15:08

Now watch this guy cleverly like some

15:10

down here. Oh, he wouldn't. Here,

15:13

I see. Well, sergeant, let's have a taste. Oh,

15:16

I have poison through the mouth, but Chit didn't

15:18

eat or drink and think for an hour. And the

15:20

doctor says it was quick poison, so the inspector figures

15:22

he took the stuff right here in the field. What

15:26

an accident! Climb along with that! Who's that corrector,

15:28

sergeant? Oh, I see. What an

15:30

essence! Climb along with that! Your attention, please.

15:33

Leave us all a bill. I'll give five

15:35

dollars for every autograph Chit Games signed in box

15:37

13 there before this game. Five

15:40

genuine American Bucks, gentlemen. Come and get it. I saw

15:42

you gone, not high enough, when the time don't cloud.

15:44

Let's see it. That's his one.

15:46

Where's your five? Now let's see that

15:49

autograph, please. Mm-hmm. Here's your

15:51

five dollars. All right, now. There you are.

15:53

There you are. That's his six. Hey,

15:56

listen, Mr. Queen, I'm sorry, but you can't

15:58

go on a ride. Oh, the uckers. Stand

16:00

by, uckers. Anybody else? There

16:03

should be one other autograph. It's a

16:05

six-page... What are you doing? What are

16:07

you doing, son? I'm back. It's your

16:09

autograph. That son-stroke inspector, Carl Lwagens... Oh,

16:11

shut up, Deeley. Son, what's

16:14

that did? Deeley says Ames was poisoned by mouth.

16:16

Hadn't eaten or drunk anything recently. It happened right

16:18

here in Box 13. So

16:20

it's obvious Ames must have been poisoned by one

16:22

of the pencils. An autograph hound handed into right there.

16:24

Oh, what a defense? Yes, sir. Ames

16:26

is notorious for its habit of sucking the point

16:28

of a pencil. Lord knows it's been publicized enough. He

16:31

sucked every pencil off of him before he scrawled his

16:33

head. He was a point who had a poison kiss.

16:35

Son, the killer's one of those five guys who just

16:37

showed up to sell back the autograph. There, you're with

16:40

a scar case! No, no, it's not. No. Watch those

16:42

men alone. If any of the five was guilty, you don't

16:44

suppose he'd be cool enough to show up to you? They

16:46

were six. The sixth one stayed away. The missing one's the

16:48

killer, all right. How's that? Yes, Dr. Queen.

16:50

What did that six-foot local look like, remember?

16:53

Well, yes, sir. He was a kid, a

16:55

little boy. A what? What did he do,

16:57

Jackson, Mr. Queen? A boy! There. That's

17:00

that. Fly him back to

17:02

the clubhouse if you want to play with the new

17:04

super-son. That's not that bad. The super-vene's death lies in

17:06

the hands of that boy. We must find him. My

17:08

pleasure. Here's what I want you to do. He's here!

17:10

He's here! Mr.

17:20

King, this is your game of

17:22

the game. If this was

17:24

right, will you go check in? The game's

17:26

going to be back 13 just before the game.

17:29

We'll call the proceed to the

17:31

clubhouse. We'll call it a round. We're

17:33

going to see you at January, J.J. We need

17:35

to show up. At January, J.J. We'll

17:38

see you at J.J. And at January, J.J. I

17:42

can't just say it. Okay. I'm going to say

17:44

it, J.J. I'm going to say it,

17:46

J.J. Officer,

17:53

here's the mystery. Any sign of Roger's dealing like kid,

17:55

your officer? No, sir, Miss Queen. Officer,

17:59

here's the mystery. I'm going to try and get the whole team. The

18:02

boy is even clapping his heart. And he's frying his

18:05

own lard. What kind of

18:07

feeling a boy is that? Carry on. Miss

18:09

Ames, how do I know you didn't

18:11

slip your husband a poison pencil with your own dandy white hands, huh?

18:14

It's just in your way. You're in love with

18:16

another man. Sick wooden divorce. I didn't poison him.

18:18

I didn't. All I know is

18:20

all of a sudden he fell off his feet in the

18:22

boat. Who's this man you're in love with? That's none of

18:24

anybody's business including the police. Is it Mr.

18:26

Vincent here? He's in that nightclub for

18:28

you, Irene. He's your angel, isn't

18:30

he? No, no, I mean, it's not me. In

18:33

fact, this is all a high hand, isn't it? That high

18:35

hand too late, a patient. Well, then

18:37

Irene, is it this loud mouth perfect in the oars

18:39

burning? Hey, now, wait a minute. There's nothing between Irene

18:41

and me except business. Oh, no, no, it's not me.

18:43

It's Emmanuel and Raina, your dance party. She's lying her

18:45

head off, Elizabeth. It's one of the men she sees

18:47

constantly at musty. Oh, Dan, here's

18:50

Sergeant Seeley with the boys. Now, I

18:52

want to see this man's ballgame too,

18:54

you know. There's your criminal,

18:56

Maestro, 11 years old. Come

18:58

here, son. Don't be afraid. What's your name? Who's

19:01

our friend? My name's John Dewey,

19:03

a little kid. Who's the genuine

19:05

sick angel who tricked you to be announced this day?

19:07

And the cows in my suit. And the fine picture

19:10

of a cute angel. I've got to

19:12

get back to my feet. We all do, Montgomery, but

19:14

first let me have the autographs to game-gater. Well,

19:16

I got it right here on my scorecard. But

19:19

how do I know to take the old double

19:21

score? Hey, wait. What's the idea of grabbing my

19:23

pencil? Relax, Montgomery. I never grabbed. Is

19:25

this the pencil you handed me in to

19:27

autograph the scorecard with? So what? Give

19:30

me what you promised, kids love. Now,

19:32

Montgomery, be nice, Montgomery. Bad.

19:34

Not much of an example. I

19:38

think. Enough to establish it. Spencer,

19:41

that's poison beans, all right. Sunny,

19:43

where'd you get this? Let me out of here. Oh,

19:45

now, Montgomery, come on. You answer these gentlemen's

19:47

questions, and they'll have to go right back

19:49

to your baseball game. But I don't know

19:52

nothing, lady. I'm going to have a game all

19:54

by myself. And I bought a ticket And

19:56

I got signed inside the day. When A man comes

19:58
