Days Beyond Recall (1971)

Ward Wood: Lt. Art Malcolm

Quotes 

• Lt. Art Malcolm : [after examining the fingerprints on the glass that Joe bought, showing Joe a picture of the man who the fingerprints belong to]  The fingerprints match those on the wine glass. Is that the man, Joe?

  Joe Mannix : Yeah, that's him. And the only thing about him that hasn't changed are his fingerprints.

  Lt. Art Malcolm : Except maybe his name.

  Joe Mannix : Who is he?

  Lt. Art Malcolm : Did you ever hear of Eric Latimer?

  Joe Mannix : Latimer? The writer?

  Lt. Art Malcolm : "Worldwide" magazines. Crime exposes.

  Joe Mannix : Yeah, I remember. He drowned a couple of years ago. What's the connection?

  Lt. Art Malcolm : Haley is Eric Latimer.

  Joe Mannix : What?

  Lt. Art Malcolm : Mistakes happen, Joe. The Coast Guard found his catamaran upside down off the west tip of Catalina. He was in it when he left Marina Del Rey. He was reported lost at sea. Looks like it might've been a snap judgment.

  Joe Mannix : Yeah, I remember his stories. Named a lot of names. Must have made a lot of enemies.

  Lt. Art Malcolm : If Latimer is alive and in hiding, I want to know why.

  Joe Mannix : You know, Art, my bump of curiosity is a little bigger than usual. How about letting me follow through on my own for a couple of days?

  Lt. Art Malcolm : What's going on, Joe?

  Joe Mannix : Just two days, Art.

  Lt. Art Malcolm : One day. By the clock. And, Joe, maybe you'd better wear a helmet.
