"Body delivered to the city morgue.

"Copy of coroner's report was attached."

Have you checked with the morgue?

I got two of the boys doing it now.

Does MacGraw know?

I called him at his home.

He told us to meet him at his office.

Hello.

Oh, yes, he's here.

For you, Dave.

Yes? Be right over.

Remember that cylinder we took

out of Hennessy's Dictaphone?

- Yeah.

- Like to hear it?

- Sure.

- Come on.

Bye, Penny.

- Now perhaps we can all relax for a little...

- Bye, honey.

- Call you later.

- Chet, you didn't have breakfast.

- Nope.

- Chet, it's not healthy to...

Goodbye, Joyce.

What are you doing in here?

I'm from Buchanan.

If you know that, you know why I'm here.

It's no use, MacGraw.

I said I would live to see you die.

I am watching you now.

Come back home. Come home.

Come back home.

Mary, for deposit tomorrow.

142 one hundred-dollar bills,

100 fifty-dollar bills,

the rest five, 10...

I told you I'd come back.

That's when the Dictaphone was

knocked out of his hand or he dropped it.

Anyone recognize that voice?

I do and I don't.

I just got a feeling that

I've heard it before.

Well, it'd be hard to place it anyway,

but the killer's voice sounded

more mechanical than Hennessy's.

- Did you notice it?

- Yes, it's like a...

Like a recording of a recording.

"I told you I'd come back."

Not much to tie onto there.

Well, could've been some big loser

who swore to get even

or some gambler he rousted around.

Anyone and anything.

Anyway, there's no doubt that he bent

the bars and came in through the window.

We could hear the sound

of the glass crashing.

Listen, MacGraw must be

waiting for us now.

Yeah.

Oh, but if that's the D.A.,

tell him we're on the way up.

Hello. Yeah.

MacGraw?

MacGraw was found in his garage,

murdered.

I'll meet you down there.

I want to pick up some equipment first.

Okay.

Looks like the same job

pulled on Hennessy.

- Did you find any prints?

- Plenty.

I asked the Bureau to call me here

as soon as they get a line on them.

- How long has he been dead?

- About an hour.

It must have happened just as he was

getting ready to go to the office.

Who found him?

His wife. She's in the house now.

I had to give her a sedative.

Take him away, boys.

Captain Harris, I can't figure this one.

His jaw's broken. Neck, too.

It wasn't a weapon.

The bruises look to me

as though they'd been done by a fist.

But MacGraw was a husky guy.

I've never seen a case where a man's neck

was broken by the sheer force of a grip.

Why should anyone want to kill MacGraw?

Well, he was a district attorney.

A lot of guys must have hated his guts.

MacGraw's enemies were usually

friends of Hennessy's,
