are, and so will a judge.

And one of them is the

Constitution right

not to say anything that

might incriminate us.

Constitutional rights, she says!

And will you please leave? Or do

you want me to call our lawyer?

I am a policeman, not a lawyer.

You won this round.

So don't try to duck out.

We'll unravel this thing yet

No scheme never obstructed justice.

And it is not going to start with this one.

Then bring a warrant next time

with the name already written in.

Did you read up on this

before you did it?

Never mind. I don't

want to hear it.

I forgot to tell you.

It's to twins.

Did you get that?

- I got that.

- Looking very much alike, the fellow told me.

- People can't even tell them apart, he said.

- Can't they really?

That's the way twins are.

Thank you, I can see

you got you eyes open.

I try to keep on my toes as

much as possible, Lieutenant.

Rest assured that we appreciate it.

Good night.

Good night, Lieutenant.

It's no use. There isn't even a

piece of print on the handle.

- Gloves?

- Could be.

There should be a law against

selling gloves to murders.

- You know what they do in the good days?

- Ladies bruise too easy.

Get me Judge Hill.

You know, I was thinking.

Maybe one of these babies

got a birthmark somewhere.

It might be a good idea

that I made a kind of thoroughly

examination of both of them...

Just an idea...

Well, no more fun.

Here is the list of witnesses.

Have them here at 9am tomorrow.

- Got it?

- Got it.

Judge Hill...

Stevenson, DB

I want a couple of warrants

for Ruth and Teresa Collins.

That's right.

Charge:
Suspicion of murder.

Yes, both.

What?

I'm gonna hang numbers on there

backs like football players.

All right, bring her in.

Where do you live?

492, Kendale Avenue.

Have you been arrested before?

Turn around.

That's it.

No doubt.

Bring it.

I'd know her in a million I...

- Teresa Collins?

- Right.

You two girls are held

in suspicion of murder.

What do you got to

say for yourselves?

Neither one of us care to say anything

until we've talk to a lawyer.

Well, how do you like that!

Know her in a million, eh?

What do you think?

No idea, Rusty. It's hard to

believe she could have done it.

I know she didn't.

Those guys are crazy.

Take a lemon drop,

it calms the nerves.

Sent them in.

Will you go in, please.

They are not gonna make me

say one word against her.

I know her too well...

We're sorry.

Dr. Elliott, Mr. Judge.

- Thanks very much for coming.

- Not at all.

I don't think this is going to

take us very long, Mr. Rusty.

You told that you saw Dr. Peralta

and the girl arguing

on the morning of the day

Peralta were killed.
