Under Suspicion
"Hurricane Lucy ripped across
Puerto Rico last October 12...
causing even greater devastation
than Hurricane George two years ago.
This time the damage
was considerable.
This time the damage...
was estimated
at $1.8 billion.
This time-
This time the damage-
This time the damage is est-"
Jesus.
Chantal?
Shouldnt you get that?
- Hello?
- Henry?
Victor Benezet here.
How are you?
As well as can be expected
under the circumstances.
That's good.
I'm sorry to call you like this,
but I need you to come in.
- There's a charity ball tonight.
- It's just a few questions.
I understand why
you were distressed yesterday...
but we do need
to make a proper report.
And I'm looking forward
to it, old boy.
Can't we do this tomorrow, Victor?
Its a fund-raiser.
This'll only take ten minutes.
See you at the station, then.
- Arias.
- Yes?
Hey, how you doing?
Tell me your speech
won't be in sufferably long.
They won't serve dinner
until you're finished.
If you're hungry, write a check,
because I can crawl all night.
Don't bait Henry.
He's nervous.
of attention, don't you?
- Excuse us, will you?
- Yes, go ahead.
I have a position
for a good handyman...
in case you ever tire
of these long policeman's hours.
I do appreciate your coming in
on such short notice, Henry.
You look marvelous.
Just grand.
- Thank you, Victor.
You met Detective Owens
yesterday at the house.
Happy San Sebastian to you.
Same to you, Mr. Hearst.
I'll burn us some coffee.
Nonfat milk if you have it.
I don't think he heard me, actually.
He reminds me a lot of you.
Only listens when it suits him.
That's unfair, Henry.
Not only am I a good listener...
but I keep it all in here.
Anyway, we should have this
cleared up in no time.
Perhaps under the circumstances,
I should be calling you "Captain."
Oh, no.
No need for that formality.
I do apologize about the timing.
I know you're due
across the street.
We just need to clarify some
of the details from your report.
Your superintendent is one
of the charity's biggest supporters.
I know, I know.
So if you'll help us put an end
to some of these nagging questions-
why, we'll have you
on your way.
I would've thought you'd be
at the party already.
You do know how to have fun,
dont you, Victor?
Tuxedo's all ready to go.
I must say, Henry,
you seem in high spirits...
what with all this
on your doorstep.
How should I behave?
How's Chantal?
Waiting.
A noble quality
in that young woman.
Something mine didn't seem
to want to do.
I was sad to hear that. We always
thought you made a charming couple.
Charming, perhaps...
but dull, apparently.
You see the children much?
Both of my daughters
are living with their mother...
back in New York City.
Must be hard
during the holidays and all.
We should get on with it.
- No milk?
- I'm sorry.
No, thanks.
You're into charity.
Why don't you fund-raise us
up a cappuccino machine...
so all the lowlifes that come through
here can enjoy a solid cup of coffee?
I was just going to ask
Oh, yeah. Right.
The "mystery dog."
Actually, I like "ghost dog."
That's got a nice ring to it.
Can we start again?
I come in here
like you ask...
and Mr. Congeniality here is
taking a hostile manner with me.
It's this case, Henry.
It has everyone on edge.
But its just-
This business is strange...
going by what's in the record.
But let's see.
Here. January 6.
Yesterday afternoon.
