09:53.440 --> 09:55.880 Yeah, I talked to Dr. Corby in place of the rest home. 09:55.880 --> 09:56.880 Hanson's there as a patient. 09:56.880 --> 09:58.920 Been there for the past four months. 09:58.920 --> 10:05.580 Doctor says he's bedridden. 10:05.580 --> 10:06.580 We checked on the rest home. 10:06.580 --> 10:08.480 It was a private sanitarium in the valley. 10:08.480 --> 10:11.440 We got in touch with the medical authorities and found that the head of the hospital was 10:11.440 --> 10:14.040 listed as Dr. James Corby. 10:14.040 --> 10:17.400 Frank and I drove out and talked to Dr. Corby and the rest of the staff. 10:17.400 --> 10:20.720 From them we got the story that Hanson had been a resident of the home for the past four 10:20.720 --> 10:21.840 months. 10:21.840 --> 10:26.200 We found that he had a lung ailment and was confined to his bed 24 hours a day. 10:26.200 --> 10:27.920 The doctor showed us his records and charts. 10:27.920 --> 10:32.320 From what we could tell, it would have been impossible for Hanson to have been abandoned. 10:32.320 --> 10:33.320 Three weeks passed. 10:33.320 --> 10:37.880 On August 4th, the market thieves hit again, this time out in East Los Angeles. 10:37.880 --> 10:40.560 They got away with a little over $9,000. 10:40.560 --> 10:43.360 The manager of the market came downtown and checked the mug books. 10:43.360 --> 10:45.880 They again identified Hanson as the thief. 10:45.880 --> 10:48.840 We had the stats office make another run on the M.O. years. 10:48.840 --> 10:52.840 The result came back and out of the thousands of cards checked, only one fitted the way 10:52.840 --> 10:56.000 the robbery had been carried out, Hanson's. 10:56.000 --> 10:59.040 We called the rest home and found that on the day of the holdup, the suspect hadn't 10:59.040 --> 11:00.720 left his bed. 11:00.720 --> 11:02.200 Another month passed. 11:02.200 --> 11:04.200 During that time, we ran down all leads. 11:04.200 --> 11:06.720 Informants were questioned, but they could tell us nothing. 11:06.720 --> 11:09.920 Apparently, the holdup men were hitting and then dropping completely out of sight until 11:09.920 --> 11:10.920 they hit again. 11:10.920 --> 11:12.920 Monday, October 27th, 8.05 a.m. 11:12.920 --> 11:14.920 I checked in for work. 11:14.920 --> 11:15.920 Joe? 11:15.920 --> 11:16.920 Yeah. 11:16.920 --> 11:17.920 Did you just get in? 11:17.920 --> 11:18.920 Yeah, a couple of minutes ago. 11:18.920 --> 11:19.920 Sure is a beautiful day, isn't it? 11:19.920 --> 11:20.920 Yeah. 11:20.920 --> 11:21.920 Did you see Didion yet? 11:21.920 --> 11:22.920 No. 11:22.920 --> 11:23.920 Well, he talked yesterday. 11:23.920 --> 11:24.920 I don't want to. 11:24.920 --> 11:25.920 He's pretty hacked. 11:25.920 --> 11:26.920 I can't blame him too much. 11:26.920 --> 11:27.920 The guys sure seem to have us stopped. 11:27.920 --> 11:30.120 The thing I can't understand is that everybody's positive it's Hanson. 11:30.120 --> 11:32.360 There doesn't seem to be any doubt in their minds. 11:32.360 --> 11:33.360 That doesn't make any sense. 11:33.360 --> 11:34.960 Did you get the kickback on the doctor? 11:34.960 --> 11:36.320 Yeah, I came in late yesterday. 11:36.320 --> 11:37.320 How about it? 11:37.320 --> 11:38.320 I can't find anything on him. 11:38.320 --> 11:41.760 Family man, lives out in the valley, a couple of blocks in the hospital. 11:41.760 --> 11:42.760 Checked his bank account. 11:42.760 --> 11:43.760 He does pretty well. 11:43.760 --> 11:44.760 Not great. 11:44.760 --> 11:45.760 No big deposits lately. 11:45.760 --> 11:46.760 Did you check the AMA on him? 11:46.760 --> 11:47.760 Yeah, he's not a member. 11:47.760 --> 11:48.760 I haven't got anything on him. 11:48.760 --> 11:50.280 How about the rest of the staff out there? 11:50.280 --> 11:51.280 Well, it seems to be OK. 11:51.280 --> 11:54.560 Two of the nurses have been there for over two years and the male nurse was hired about 11:54.560 --> 11:55.560 five months ago. 11:55.560 --> 11:57.320 That'd be just before Hanson got there. 11:57.320 --> 11:58.320 Yeah. 11:58.320 --> 11:59.320 What's his record? 11:59.320 --> 12:01.760 Nothing on him in the files, nothing from Washington. 12:01.760 --> 12:03.160 Well, I don't know. 12:03.160 --> 12:06.680 He seemed to come up out of the ground, pull the jobs and then drop back in. 12:06.680 --> 12:07.680 Nothing on the partner? 12:07.680 --> 12:09.080 No, I thought I had something. 12:09.080 --> 12:11.640 I talked to an informant this morning while I had coffee. 12:11.640 --> 12:15.240 He thought at first that he knew who the little guy was, but then he remembered that the fellow 12:15.240 --> 12:17.240 he was thinking about died two years ago. 12:17.240 --> 12:22.920 A hot shot, I get it. 12:22.920 --> 12:23.920 Let's go. 12:23.920 --> 12:24.920 We'll hit again. 12:24.920 --> 12:34.720 At eight oh one a.m. that morning, a pair of holdup men had walked into a market out 12:34.720 --> 12:39.000 on Adams Boulevard and robbed the place of a little under eleven thousand dollars. 12:39.000 --> 12:41.480 The manager gave us a description of the holdup men. 12:41.480 --> 12:45.240 One was large, dark and had a small scar over the bridge of his nose. 12:45.240 --> 12:49.160 The other was small, sandy haired and had no visible marks or scars. 12:49.160 --> 12:53.020 We showed the manager mug shots of Hanson and he positively identified him as the larger 12:53.020 --> 12:54.640 of the two men. 12:54.640 --> 12:58.800 A local and an APB was gotten out on the pair and then Frank and I drove out to the hospital 12:58.800 --> 12:59.800 to see Hanson. 12:59.800 --> 13:02.720 Eight forty six a.m. we talked with Dr. Corby. 13:02.720 --> 13:05.800 I know you men are trying to do your duty, but I've told you before it couldn't possibly 13:05.800 --> 13:06.800 be Mr. Hanson. 13:06.800 --> 13:09.480 I know for a fact that he hasn't been out of his bed this morning. 13:09.480 --> 13:11.880 Was it possible for him to get out of his room without you knowing it? 13:11.880 --> 13:12.880 No. 13:12.880 --> 13:13.880 I wonder if we could see him, doctor. 13:13.880 --> 13:15.160 No, I don't think that would be possible. 13:15.160 --> 13:17.120 He's still asleep and I can't have him disturbed. 13:17.120 --> 13:20.120 You're sure though that he couldn't have left the hospital without you knowing it? 13:20.120 --> 13:21.520 Absolutely, no chance of it. 13:21.520 --> 13:23.720 What time does Hanson generally wake up, doctor? 13:23.720 --> 13:24.720 Depends. 13:24.720 --> 13:26.720 Usually though I'd say he's awake by nine thirty or so. 13:26.720 --> 13:28.560 I wonder if we could wait and talk to him. 13:28.560 --> 13:29.560 If you like. 13:29.560 --> 13:31.320 I'll tell one of the nurses to call you when he's awake. 13:31.320 --> 13:32.320 All right, sir. 13:32.320 --> 13:33.320 That'd be fine. 13:33.320 --> 13:34.320 One thing though I must insist on. 13:34.320 --> 13:35.320 What's that, doctor? 13:35.320 --> 13:36.320 He mustn't be excited. 13:36.320 --> 13:39.800 I don't think you gentlemen really know how ill Mr. Hanson is. 13:39.800 --> 13:43.240 If you had any idea, you wouldn't be out here with this ridiculous questioning. 13:43.240 --> 13:44.240 Yes, sir. 13:44.240 --> 13:45.240 We understand. 13:45.240 --> 13:47.240 We're just trying to get this thing straightened out as soon as we can. 13:47.240 --> 13:48.240 Fine. 13:48.240 --> 13:50.920 I'll go along with you part of the way, but I'll not have my patient disturbed. 13:50.920 --> 13:52.960 Any excitement would be very bad for him. 13:52.960 --> 13:53.960 Well, don't worry, doctor. 13:53.960 --> 13:54.960 We'll be as brief as possible. 13:54.960 --> 13:55.960 Fine. 13:55.960 --> 13:58.160 If you'll excuse me now, I've got some things to do. 13:58.160 --> 14:02.000 I'll tell the nurse to call you when he wakes up. 14:02.000 --> 14:04.000 And remember, no excitement. 14:04.000 --> 14:06.760 What do you figure, Joe? 14:06.760 --> 14:07.760 Well, it's got me. 14:07.760 --> 14:09.920 The way he talks, every one of those witnesses are wrong. 14:09.920 --> 14:10.920 Yeah. 14:10.920 --> 14:11.920 What has happened before. 14:11.920 --> 14:14.240 Get a positive identification and end up with the wrong guy. 14:14.240 --> 14:17.880 Yeah, but all of them are so positive, it doesn't make any sense. 14:17.880 --> 14:18.880 Yeah. 14:18.880 --> 14:20.240 You the police officer? 14:20.240 --> 14:21.240 Yeah, that's right. 14:21.240 --> 14:22.240 Why? 14:22.240 --> 14:23.240 I'm Bob Jameson. 14:23.240 --> 14:24.240 I work here. 14:24.240 --> 14:25.680 Oh, yeah, you're the male nurse then, right? 14:25.680 --> 14:26.680 Yeah. 14:26.680 --> 14:27.680 You're out here about Barney Hanson, aren't you? 14:27.680 --> 14:28.680 We want to see him, yeah. 14:28.680 --> 14:29.680 What can we do for you? 14:29.680 --> 14:30.680 It's about Barney. 14:30.680 --> 14:31.680 What about him? 14:31.680 --> 14:32.680 I don't think things are the way they look. 14:32.680 --> 14:33.680 What do you mean by that? 14:33.680 --> 14:36.000 I wouldn't want the doctor to know I've been talking to you. 14:36.000 --> 14:37.600 You'd raise the roof, probably fire me. 14:37.600 --> 14:39.640 What's it about, Jameson? 14:39.640 --> 14:41.000 Like I said, it's about Barney. 14:41.000 --> 14:42.000 Yeah. 14:42.000 --> 14:44.320 When I came here, they told me that Barney was pretty sick. 14:44.320 --> 14:45.920 Said they didn't expect him to live. 14:45.920 --> 14:46.920 Yeah. 14:46.920 --> 14:47.920 One day the buzzer rang in his room. 14:47.920 --> 14:48.920 You know, he wanted something? 14:48.920 --> 14:49.920 Uh-huh. 14:49.920 --> 14:53.400 The doctor was on the phone, the other nurses were busy, so I started down the hall to see 14:53.400 --> 14:54.400 what Barney wanted. 14:54.400 --> 14:56.600 Got to the door of the room and the doctor stopped me. 14:56.600 --> 14:57.600 Uh-huh. 14:57.600 --> 14:58.600 Really read me off. 14:58.600 --> 15:00.080 Said that I wasn't to go into the room at all. 15:00.080 --> 15:03.080 That he was taking care of Barney personally, that he'd see what he wanted. 15:03.080 --> 15:04.080 Yeah. 15:04.080 --> 15:06.080 No, that was just the first time. 15:06.080 --> 15:07.840 Same things happened a couple more times. 15:07.840 --> 15:09.880 And he told us about you. 15:09.880 --> 15:11.560 Told us what to say if you asked any questions. 15:11.560 --> 15:13.360 What did he tell you? 15:13.360 --> 15:16.280 Said that we wasn't to tell you anything. 15:16.280 --> 15:17.280 That we didn't know anything. 15:17.280 --> 15:20.000 Why didn't you tell us all this before? 15:20.000 --> 15:22.760 You see, this isn't a regular hospital. 15:22.760 --> 15:24.760 I don't think that he's even a regular doctor. 15:24.760 --> 15:28.720 I've worked around hospitals for a long time and I never saw no doctor act like he does. 15:28.720 --> 15:32.080 He doesn't even know how to write out a diet, feed some of the people, hear all the wrong 15:32.080 --> 15:33.080 things. 15:33.080 --> 15:34.080 That right? 15:34.080 --> 15:35.280 Yeah, and I'll tell you something else, too. 15:35.280 --> 15:36.280 What's that? 15:36.280 --> 15:37.280 I don't think there's anything wrong with Barney. 15:37.280 --> 15:39.720 I think the whole reason for him being here is phony. 15:39.720 --> 15:40.720 Bob? 15:40.720 --> 15:41.720 Oh, yes, doctor. 15:41.720 --> 15:42.720 What are you doing here? 15:42.720 --> 15:45.000 Came to see if these gentlemen needed anything. 15:45.000 --> 15:46.000 Oh. 15:46.000 --> 15:47.760 Well, I'll take care of it now. 15:47.760 --> 15:49.320 Will you check on Mr. Hardy, please?
