Phil Royce very well.
Well, just tell me anything
you remember about him.
Sure.
You ought to get a
hold of Danny Bowman.
He was from Tulsa.
Danny Bowman? Yeah.
He and Royce were pals. They hit
the beach at Normandy together.
How's it going? Great.
She's wonderful. Working
very hard. Good.
At the moment of death
the soul leaves ..
Deeper in the throat!
be talking through you.
The... soul... leaves... the... body.
It... lives... for... a... time...
in... the... invisible... world.
The spirit at... this... time...
is able to... communicate... with ..
Oh, I can't remember the words.
Keep talking. Keep talking!
I can't. It's no use.
Take it easy, honey. I'm sorry.
Hello.
Steve, Captain Edwards.
Thank you.
Yes sir.
Oh that's great!
Right away. Yes sir.
Honey, I've got to leave.
Stick with it will you.
Where you going?
They found Danny Bowman in Kansas City.
Sorry to interrupt our talk
Mr Johnson. I'm free now.
Well you know the story Bowman.
Mrs Royce is in trouble so, naturally
we need all the help we can get.
Well, I'll tell you
all I know. Good.
Phil Royce and I started
out as rookies together.
You seem so sad lately, dear.
"Because of the suffering I
feel all about me, mother."
"Earthly goods mean
nothing in my world."
"But the lack of it causes
so much pain in yours."
"Happiness should be shared."
You always felt that way, dear.
"But more than ever now..."
"I feel the suffering of others."
But I have no earthly
goods. I can do nothing.
"Nothing... nothing..."
Phillip seems so unhappy today.
He wants to bring others here to share the
peace and happiness he and I have found.
I am troubled also when I think
of the multitudes of such people.
I can help now... but when I am gone?
work we have started here?
Phillip keeps mentioning earthly goods.
I have so much. It
would have been Philip's.
I could use it to bring others here.
She's getting the idea now.
Princess... I think I know a way.
I want to speak to Phillip now.
My powers are too
weak to reach him now.
The spirits visit us
only when they wish.
It's your money, Jessica. Exactly.
But you can't leave it to an unknown
organization headed by a "Medium".
If you won't draw up the will,
John, I'll get a lawyer who can.
Very well. Good night.
He's right Mrs Royce,
you don't know them and ..
I've got a good reason for doing it.
It will make Phillip happy.
Will you need me any more tonight?
Bunco Squad. Sergeant Irvine speaking.
Detective Johnson please.
Please tell him that
Barbara Madison called.
Thank you.
Well, Barbara.
I'm so sorry I'm late Tony.
I understand. Sit down.
I've ordered for us.
You seem upset. Anything wrong?
You know, sometimes it
helps to talk to someone.
There's nothing you can do
Tony. Well I can try.
It's about Mrs Royce.
The Police warned her that those people
running the Rama Society are criminals.
And they were right.
Uh... what's all this about?
Criminals and the Rama Society?
Oh you know. It's in connection
with that Medium she's been seeing.
Don't you remember?
Oh yes, of course.
And you said they wouldn't
accept the donation.
Donation? They want everything she has!
They've tricked her into making a will
leaving her entire estate to their society.
Has she signed the will?
She's just having it drawn up. But
I'm doing everything I can to stop it.
Is there anything I can do to help?
No, I've already called
Detective Johnson.
He wasn't in. As a matter of
fact I think I'll call him again.
Oh Barbara... is your car outside?
Yes, why?
Well, I know how you feel
about Mrs Royce and ..
I think we ought to go to Police
Headquarters and not wait for the call.
I hate to bother you, Tony.
No bother. Will be a pleasure.
I just found a message on my desk
that she tried to reach me last night.
Maybe she was trying
to tell us something?
Get me Traffic.
Traffic, Steve Johnson.
That car that Barbara Madison
was killed in last night.
Have those brakes checked right
away and let me know will you.
Right. Good idea.
Now what did you find out from Bowman?
A most important letter that Phillip
wrote to his mother before he was killed.
Here's a copy of it.
Bowman found it when he was
collecting Royce's things to send home.
He figured it would only bring
more grief so he didn't mail it.
This will give Dante
and Grace a real angle.
Get it to them right away.
And don't forget to see Mrs
Royce's phony psychologist.
I'll take it right over,
and I'll see Dr Largo.
Oh please come in Mr...
uh? The name is Johnson.
Detective Johnson.
Oh... what brings you here?
Well, I don't have a warrant in my
pocket if that is what's bothering you.
Just a few questions. About what?
You and Princess Liane.
I've never met her.
Okay... we'll play it your way.
Now look.
I didn't come over here
to cause you any trouble.
However, we have enough
in our files on you ..
What do you want to know?
Why did you send Mrs
Royce to the Rama Society?
I had to. What do you want me to do?
Not very much... we just want you to
send her to a new medium. That's all.
She took your advice once.
See that she takes it again.
I'll try.
so much. Why should I leave her?
My only wish is to add
to your present happiness.
To prepare you for the time when
Phillip ascends to a higher plane.
And it becomes more difficult
for him to reach you.
You mean ..
I couldn't see him?
Not talk to him any more?
You can if you are prepared.
New doors will be opened to you.
special protection and guidance.
And that is why I urge you to visit ..
"Madame Bradshaw". 1209 Sunnydale.
Dr Largo recommended you very highly.
Doctor Largo is very gracious.
I hope you won't be disappointed.
You should be very happy.
I see an aura about you.
An aura of love.
It is someone who's love
I see writing... a letter.
A soldier.
Phillip was a soldier.
A letter reaching across the years.
To... to who?
"To my mother."
Phillip?
"Mother. You never received the last letter
I wrote you before I left your world."
"You must get it."
But where?
"My friend Danny Bowman. He took it."
I hear voices.
I hear a roaring sound that shakes
the ground. I see a man... working.
In a uniform... an airport.
The name of the city is not clear.
I get the initials... K... C .
Kansas City.
I hope I've been helpful.
You have. Thank you.
Honey, you were swell.
Everything worked like magic.
Like a charm.
Does Bowman know what to do
when Mrs Bowman gets there?
He knows what to do. Now all we
have to do is keep her coming here.
She's so nice Steve, it's a
shame to trick her this way.
But we're only trying to protect her.
Once she believes in you, we'll
show her how she was taken in.
Don't you see?
