for the day I noticed that door seems somebody's broken in here tape recordings are missing are you sure yes I locked them in the desk it seems somebody's stolen them I'll notify the Sheriff's Office oh no no I uh I'd rather you wouldn't Dean Collins doesn't like to have police on the campus there you it can be a very disturbing influence Mr willinger's always been able to deal with this sort of thing actually the tapes had no value I I don't know why anyone would want to steal them what kind of tapes were they sir well my department offers psychological counseling not as complex as Psychotherapy with the same technique you see if a student doesn't have an appointment he can get things off his chest on tape whenever he has the urge there were three tapes left here yesterday have you played them well unfortunately know I had some papers to grade last night did you know whose tapes they were yes as a matter of fact I I've joted their names down here someplace wait a minute uh yes here they are maybe one of them changed their mind what do you mean didn't want you to play the tape so we took all three to avoid suspicion oh I doubt it they know all they'd have to do is call me and I'd destroy the tape without listening to it damn and I've got an early class this morning they'll have to be notified of course maybe I can be of some help would you like me to tell them for you well that would be most helpful thank you doctor oh [ __ ] did you tell anyone you made it no I don't go around telling people I need sight counseling how about your boyfriend Harry he doesn't even know I made it did you talk about Harry on the tape he is all I talked about oh my God now it's going to be all over campus and oh Jesus Harry will kill me oh [ __ ] those tapes were supposed to be confidential what the hell do I care it's all [ __ ] anyway you know why I made those tapes cuz I like to put that phony pritet on you think I'm worried about that mini skirted little cheerleader letting that Neanderthal fullback Baller in the backseat of his hopped up Pontiac well it just turns me on to blow smoke up pritchett's ass once I told him I was queer for diseased owls and would you believe it but that creep bought it Mark Anthony excuse me sir I really can't see anybody breaking a lock just to get my tape was the lock broken I'm psychic you don't seem very upset by the theft Miss clayo I'm not it was mostly poetry my own I thought Dr prit might learn something about me from it Miss Clayborne I think it was your tape the thief was after why do you say that you're much too cool the other two students took it hard I have to believe that nobody wants anything as intimate as a talk with a psychologist exposed amazing Mr HS I think there was more than po on your table and

m you notice that stuff's been poured over lot what would they make of that in Big City I guess the same thing you'd make of it Sheriff take a look at it I read a good book and I preach the gospel when the spirit moves me and I'm in be a crime in the sight of the Lord sit down and shut up he's a lay preacher one of them crack poot churches we got around here on some religious literature and his joh some not so [Music] religious that's the the filth they use to corrupt the minds of American Youth I show my congregation and denounce the Sinners who pedal it no bet you do bet you boys sit around cluck your tongues and get bugey and work yourselves up in a good holy sweat as God is my witness well you're going to need him found his Prince all over the murder room wouldn't that figure Sheriff mean him being the G that's right I half the snails in that dorm found him swiping their underwear after they hung it out to drive I guess you caught yourself a dirty old man no I caught myself murdered no you did yourself a little window shoing in that dorm last night there's a light on in the Clayborn girl's room because she was reading the Harlot room yeah you had your eyes on that girl I mean she looked all honey and innocent on the outside but you knew that her mind her body were as full of sin as Satan's heart huh so you went up knock on the door told her you were there to fix the plumbing probably had a wrench in your hand make her more convincing so she let you in and you made your pitch but she called you a runchy pervert not the Lord's good right hand and then she screamed you cold cocked her with a wrench you gave it the punishment good Lord in Tenon no didn't [Applause] you take them in brother well all we need is the ranch turn up somewhere they go that sheriff y you don't think that's a man no I don't 10 to one he is you got a bet sh just don't underestimate Casey he ain't no fool he's not going to go to trial without tying the janitor to the murder weapon he doesn't found one Casey's a mean bastard if he has to he'll plant a wrench with a janitor's Prince on it I don't believe youing did it maybe not you never know what do you make of this what the hell is that found in the clayon girl's room it's a poem I copied it what do it mean I was afraid you going to ask me that you two sound just like the old days you know how it is honey once a cop always a cop I know that's how you broke your leg and that's how you can break your parole Jim she's right I keep forgetting well don't and if you say once a cop once again I'm going to hit you with this pot the king yeah thought you might like to have this what is it it's an unfinished poem of Natalie clayon this isn't her handwriting I copied it from a notebook in a room I thought it might be meant for you why me it was written to a lover I understand you saw a lot of her Mr uh have you ever heard of the generation gap yeah well just got lighter [ __ ] off what Natalie told me to do look what is this [ __ ] what are you after her killer the sheriff's got her killer I don't think so I think it was if she was writing this poem to well she sure as hell wasn't writing it to me whoever killed her i' sure like to nail him why and what's it to you you're no cop force a Hab it I guess there's something about that kid she seemed lost how well did you know her you mean was I balling her yeah the answer is no no one was getting to Natalie not that way how about this uh this Janice Janice it's a Roman god with two faces what she was writing this to the traitor and uh melene midene Greek I think Aly was hooked on mythology you drive a a red van I believe yeah with a yin-yang flag I drove Natalie home the night you stranded her in Jordan city where did you go afterwards back here CR for midterm alone uh yeah that's bad son no alibi what's your alibi you drove her home the night of the murder yeah you were the last one to see her he won't like this but you'd make one hell of a cup thanks for the information Professor Mason yes I wonder if I could uh oh you're a Slade you're the new man well come on in come in Dean Collins and I were chatting about you last night at the faculty meeting you have a very interesting background you're investigating the Clayburn girls killing the sheriff is investigating the case yes I understand perfectly now I'm something of an amateous Luth myself you know I read the newspapers I look for Clues between the lines like that book you're wondering how it got there no I know how it got here what I was wondering was why Betty chers took it out of Natalie clayborn's room and how it got into natal clayborn's room in the first place excellent coffee no thanks well go on do go on let's see your deductive Powers this place looks like a a co-ed trap to me Natalie's been here you'll enter this book Betty saw the book in Natalie's room this morning and realized that a TI you into Natalie she was afraid the sheriff might spot it so she brought it back to you in fact she cared so much about you that she was crying just now as she left she was jealous by God regular PhD of a night Watchman listen I teach law mostly but also criminology and penology those are my real interests now how about you giving a couple of guest lectures to some of my classes it' be a breeze for you make them question and answer sessions if you'd like Professor you been playing around with Betty chers no gentleman will answer that question you just did T how about that one oh Mr Slade I am a connoisseur of young girls not statutory rape young but young however it was Natalie who chased after me she was in love with you no no no hell no had some crazy idea I might be her father father I don't think I want to get into that you started the game Professor so I did does that oblige me to finish it Natalie's mother and I 20 years ago were students here she was quite a swinger she left the college to marry Philip clayon and gave birth to Natalie and killed herself not too long afterward could you have been Natalie's father no I'm afraid not the dates make that quite impossible that's the craziest hang up I ever saw in my judgment not so much that Natalie wanted me to be her father she wanted Philip clayber not to be hated him hated him wouldn't take a sent of his one he lived on a trust her mother left her any of this helping you Professor this painting signature km you know who's it is Carl mman he's the local Ram Brad he teaches some part-time art classes runs an Arty farty little Gallery down in Jordan City I gather you don't think the janitor killed Natalie no I don't any idea who you maybe why me Natalie made a tape for Dr Pritchard if she named you on it as her lover I imagine to play hell with your academic career yeah that's rather loose talk you could get to be quite a nuisance Mr Slade allow me to give you a little free legal counsel as an ex cop I'm sure you know the criminal Lial is a felony and you are an excon and you are UNP paroled thanks for the information professor and of course for the advice [Music] [Music] you know that Slade was with the Clayborn girl night of the murder no well neither did I he never said damn thing to me about it did you ask him well come on now Linda you know better than that you should have told me he's an ex cop he knows about that what's the difference if the janitor did it well I'm just telling you up front that when I get around the Slate I don't want any squawks from you about rousting your people Mr Lar sherff cours Linda has Jim Slade left J he's not you until 6 o' but I wanted to have a word with him first it'll keep till he gets here okay see you [Music] soon problems the usual this is a pleasant surprise what are you doing down here something not so pleasant uh just paid my taxes you are coming by later aren't you of course hello hello am I late not a bit Eddie Lamar Jim Slade Slade Lamar's I passed your place but next time drop in I'll buy you a drink thank you I will see you later bye Eddie let's walk he goodl looking man isn't he boyfriend he's married boyfriend I like him I've been worried about you Casey says you were with the clayin girl the night of the murder that's right she was stoned I drove her back to the dwn great I would seen the least I could do Mr Slade being a Good Samaritan is a luxury a parole Lee can't afford especially with a mixed up kid like Natalie clayber you knew her I was her probation officer for 3 months on a marijuana rap I handle things like that for the school dean Collins likes to keep it out of the Sheriff's Office did you get to know a well not really she never talked about herself much Casey's going to give you trouble and if it gets too rough I want you to come to me thank you I will is that all yes I think so good night good night yes Mr Slate I've been teaching at Jordan for the past 20 years and I've been painting Jordan co-eds in the nude even longer than that ever since I was an art major but what you really want to know is whether it was at their request or mine know am I right no sir that would be none of my business Mr mman drink no thanks artists Mr slave do not always have affairs with their moms I painted Natalie because she had a rubenesque body full and satisfied like her mother's I also painted when we were students here nude did Natalie know that now are you're going to ask me Mr Slade did I have an affair with dav's Mother no sir yes but it did cross your mind didn't it as a matter of fact fact Natalie was quite obsessed with the thought it turned out that that was the real reason she came to pose for me it fascinated her to think that I might be her father have you ever had that problem no sir I didn't think so good night Mr Slate that's 975 Mrs Thorp will that be charged yes please 419 Elm I believe [Music] [Music] mhm this this St something wrong no nothing were you waiting for me where's your car oh well I only live a block from here I walk to work I'll walk you home which [Applause] way how'd you ever get into Pro work how' you ever become a policeman my father was a cop and his father before him you like it well that's what I did best I never thought of doing anything else no dreams of Fame and Fortune you don't have to stop a detective Sergeant unless you shoot a man that doesn't seem like you you're a cop you live 24 hours a day with violence you get used to violence yes you do I was married for 3 years to a gangster you named the racket Jerry was in it must have been tough not at all I knew when I married him I knew from the beginning there was plenty of money we lived the good life I liked it but you divorced of him he was an animal [Music] 49 l so I drifted for a while London Paris New York Las Vegas and I ran out of money then I decided I'd better get to work parole officer is app point of here not civil service and I had some influential friends so my past associations didn't get in the way I think

killed aim you're on a test on those guns they'll check [Music] [Music] out [Music] [Music] well quartz it's almost over I had a lot of time to think last night in that Cellar I could tie Virgil in with those rednecks but what about Natalie Arthur King Swanson then it hit me I knew Virgil went out to mean's house that night to shoot me not Swanson somebody set me up and there was only one man who knew I'd gone out there in your car it was yartz was crazy it didn't make sense I tried to lose it in the darkness but it wouldn't go away so I went back to the beginning to see if I could make it fit I started with why you went to LaMar's the night it was held up without Judy it's not your kind of place unless you were there for a meeting with one of your partners Lamar the holdup was just a bad break it took you out of action but with me around you could still stay on top of everything the angle you'd be the first to know if anything went wrong and I reported to you like an ass-kissing rookie the jogging is perfect you came up here early and you stole the tapes then you jogged you had those tapes in your car that morning when you did that little circus act for me when I found Natalie in the bar that night and brought her back to the campus of hysterics you were tipped off and you came up here to calm it down I figured you didn't mean to kill her just scare her but she threatened to blow the whistle you lost your head you hit it with a crutch you're good with those crutches quartz damn good following Claybon on the payoff trip that was a nice touch it really had me fooled unless after you lost him you got off the bus went back to your car and picked up the money in the roadside Parkway your note told Clayborn to leave it it was 5:00 in the morning by then and cash woke me up I know it had a bad dream but when we took clayborn's money bag from Lamar this morning Casey dusted it for Prince was in a dream quarts they were your [Music] [Music] prince you want to advise mother's right you're making the arrest not [Music] [Applause] me right for she's got a new mate seems happier yes they get lonely even as you and I but can I do for you Mr Slade tell me about Natalie Clayborn told your [Music] story [Music] [Music] you [Music] [Music] me I think this is the one you're looking for this is Natalie Clayborn doctor and what I am about to tell you I have only so you've heard from M Lamar's lawyer yes by the way shouldn't have bothered it isn't worth much now how do you like that I went out and killed three men for it it all wrapped up this morning the only problem was how to tell you your boyfriend was a blackmailing wer there's one thing that's still bothered this tape that where it was hidden but who' gotten close enough to Natalie to get it to make it it could have been Dr Pritchard he could have lied about having PL it fake the burglary but yesterday morning Clavin got a call just after I delivered the blackmail note and all of a sudden he wanted to deal me out it was one of the blackmailers and they were supposed to think I was dead and I was the only one who knew you weren't you natal's probation officer 3 months you're good at getting close to people got close to me in 3 days I fell in love with who me Ed Lamar quartz Natalie when Arthur King call last night you know he was on to you so you called lady Lamar after I left and he got to the kid before I did can I makees you one thank you he said he knew who Natalie's lover was the key was in that home Janice was a two- faced Lover he told me that but I couldn't figet mine I stopped off with Dr pritchet on my way over here balene is the modern name for the Greek Island of Lesbos where safo and our lesbians did their thing Dr priter said that because of the experiences with her father Natalie could be a setup for a relationship with a woman I know now that the night that I found Natalie here in town she'd been to see you try to get that tape back so you called one of your boyfriends courtz and you asked him to shut her up what took me so long to figure you out was those three killers jumping the both of us here in this house I didn't know they were working for me and neither did they I believe you Ed lar was your front Virgil was his stoe when Virgil busted those three hoods for holding up Eddie's Place Eddie dropped the charges and returned for a little Strongarm service by getting rid of me I never wanted that tell me something will you and Eddie go to double cross quarts I thought you had all the answers everybody was in that bed victim killer frontman me you were the only one that mattered baby you're the best I've seen thanks and you're a smart cop unfortunately a smart cop it's still just a dumb cop all you had to do before you ran around arresting everybody this morning was think one step further you could have had 250 Grand the tape which clayon would have gone right on paying for and you could had me Jesus that wife of yours must have had it tough up there on that pedestal you didn't say so but you were shocked when I told you that I would have stuck with my gangster husband if he treated me decently what have you got out of all this Jim cops pat on the back big deal you killed three bad guys and pinched three more po counting you me what have I done I didn't steal any tapes I didn't kill that girl I didn't write any blackmail notes or pick up any payoff money I didn't shoot Arthur king or Swanson and I didn't pay those rednecks to lean on you last night conspiracy maybe but I'll turn States evidence and I won't serve a [Music] day [Music] morning Jack morning Linda forget your [Music] manners [Music] [Music] lady want talk to you that uh check Clayborn sent you for destroying the tape what about it
