:14:03
Somebody may have
seen or heard something.

:14:06
Start from Sunset and work your way up.
:14:08
Hammond, get the lab report
on the luggage in the car.

:14:12
Do you suppose the kidnappers
followed him from Phoenix?

:14:16
- I doubt that.
- They must have known when he left.

:14:20
That's why we think they had someone
there checking the time of departure.

:14:25
- Then they could notify their confederates...
- Sir?

:14:28
The lieutenant would like
to see the ransom note.

:14:32
Do you know what time your husband left?
:14:35
- Excuse me. May I see the envelope?
- Surely.

:14:39
No. I didn't, neither did anyone in my office.
:14:42
Which police garage
did they take the car to?

:14:45
- Downtown.
- We'll run a set of fingerprints.

:14:48
(Carlson) Strange thing, Mrs Williams,
:14:50
when you look at the route
your husband must have taken...

:14:53
- What is that, an aerial map?
- Hm-mm.

:14:56
- I see.
- (Carlson)... the streets are dark, secluded...

:14:59
What's it for?
:15:01
It came with the kidnappers' instructions.
:15:03
They sent instructions? What were they?
:15:06
Mrs Williams is to fly alone,
north along this highway,

:15:09
- then she heads across the desert.
- Exactly.

:15:13
There'll be a flashing signal
and the money is to be dropped in a bag.

:15:17
Usual warnings - no cops.
:15:21
- When is the drop?
- That we don't know.

:15:24
All I can say is they'll call us tonight.
:15:27
(Carlson) Listen, Miller - the victim's car
has been picked up by the LAPD.

:15:33
They've got it in the downtown garage.
:15:36
That's right. Run a fingerprint check on it.
:15:39
- You fly a plane?
- Yes.

:15:42
- By yourself?
- Yes.

:15:44
- No kidding.
- No kidding.

:15:47
(Carlson) They'll probably
give you a little static but...

:15:51
We're assuming the victim
crossed the state line.

:15:54
Excuse me.
:15:56
- How's it going?
- Fine. Ready in a few minutes.

:15:59
- (Carlson)... Phoenix as well as here...
- We'll have to wait till he gets off the phone.
