The Perfect Witness, Part 3 of 3
Ministries > Adventures in Odyssey with Focus on the Family
A mystery is triggered when two armed men hold up Holstein's Books and take a hostage--a blind girl named Jenny Roberts.
Patty Ethan: Well, Captain Quinn, we're back where we started. It looks like Holstein's bookstore was not robbed for money, or the Hogard book, or even Katrina's very efficient looking knapsack. In fact, if our pair of thieves hadn't taken Jenny hostage, we wouldn't have a case.
Captain Quinn: Except that Eugene's laptop computer and disks are still missing.
Patty Ethan: Except for that, yes.
Officer Burke: Captain, Eugene Meltsner and Katrina Shanks are here.
Captain Quinn: Okay, send them in.
Katrina Shanks: Good afternoon.
Eugene Meltsner: Greetings, Captain, Detective.
Captain Quinn: Hi. I believe that knapsack's yours, Katrina.
Katrina Shanks: Oh, I'm so glad you got it back. I've been lost without it. Is it okay? May I handle it?
Captain Quinn: Oh, sure. We examined it thoroughly for fingerprints. Go ahead and check the contents. However, we may need to hold on to it as evidence if we ever catch the clowns who took it.
Eugene Meltsner: If, Captain? Are you so uncertain?
Captain Quinn: Uncertain is a very good word. How are you doing with your little chore?
Eugene Meltsner: You mean compiling a list of the files that were erased from my computer?
Captain Quinn: Yep.
Eugene Meltsner: I've been doing as you asked, but confess that I haven't found anything there that would be of interest to a thief. And I have as yet to discover a link between the thefts in my dorm and the robbery at Holstein's.
Captain Quinn: Too bad.
Eugene Meltsner: I have no doubt, however, that there is a connection. The odds against such a coincidence are astronomical.
Captain Quinn: Keep at it.
Patty Ethan: Eugene, as you work through your list, don't think only about the obvious connections. I'd be interested in any connection, even the most obscure.
Eugene Meltsner: Will do, Detective. Is everything there, Katrina?
Katrina Shanks: Yes, I think so. Except there's a corner of a torn envelope here.
Eugene Meltsner: Is there something suspicious about that?
Katrina Shanks: Well, I'm not in the habit of using my knapsack as a trash container. I wouldn't tear open an envelope and shove a piece of it back in. And I wonder what envelope this piece belonged to.
Eugene Meltsner: Nothing comes to mind?
Katrina Shanks: Not offhand.
Patty Ethan: Jenny said they tore open an envelope in the car, but we have no idea what was in it. So if you can think of anything missing, let us know.
Katrina Shanks: Yes, I will. I see you got the Hogard book back as well.
Captain Quinn: Dr. Marcus will be very pleased to get it.
Patty Ethan: Well, he'll be the only one. All our theories about this case were connected to that book, and now they're blown to pieces.
Eugene Meltsner: Why?
Captain Quinn: Because we thought the holdup was an elaborate scheme to get the book, but it obviously wasn't since they left it behind.
Patty Ethan: That theory had holes in it anyway. But I think this book and your computer together will solve this case.
Eugene Meltsner: Then I shall apply all my faculties to help form a solution.
Captain Quinn: Think about it too, please.
Katrina Shanks: Would you like me to take the book to Dr. Marcus? It's on our way.
Captain Quinn: Better not. We may need that as evidence too. But if you want to tell him it's safe and sound with us, I'd appreciate it. We keep calling his office, but the line's busy.
Eugene Meltsner: He probably took it off the hook. He does that when he's trying to get work done.
Captain Quinn: I don't blame him.
Officer Burke: Captain!
Captain Quinn: What is it, Burke?
Officer Burke: Stew wants you in the lab right away. He says they found a fingerprint at the hideout.

Officer Burke: It's a beauty, all right. Not just a fingerprint, but a handprint with all four fingers and a thumb.
Captain Quinn: Where in the world did you find it?
Officer Burke: On the bedroom door. At least I think it used to be a bedroom at their hideout. Judging from the scuff and the dirt on the floor, our man leaned against the door while taking off his shoes or putting them on or something.
Patty Ethan: That lines up with what Jenny said. One of them went into the other room to change out of his disguise.
Captain Quinn: So how long will it take to get an identification?
Officer Burke: Hard to say. I have a friend at the State Bureau of Investigation who can rush me into the AFIS.
Captain Quinn: AFIS?
Officer Burke: Automated Fingerprint Identification System. Since we have no idea who our suspects are, the system will compare these unknown prints with known prints on record. Ten years ago, it wouldn't have been possible.
Captain Quinn: So how long will it take?
Officer Burke: Ideally, a couple of hours.
Captain Quinn: Get on it.
Eugene Meltsner: Thank you for the ride, Katrina.
Katrina Shanks: My pleasure. You've been awfully quiet.
Eugene Meltsner: I've been thinking about the connection.
Katrina Shanks: Oh?
Eugene Meltsner: In all the excitement, I'd forgotten that I gave you a report to read. Do you remember?
Katrina Shanks: No. Oh, wait. Yes, of course I do. It's that project you won't tell anyone about. Some findings you were going to send to the Journal of Education.
Eugene Meltsner: Precisely. I had it on my main computer and my laptop and backed up on the disks that were stolen. Do you still have the printed copy I gave you?
Katrina Shanks: Yes, I wouldn't let anything happen to it.
Eugene Meltsner: Wonderful. Where is it?
Katrina Shanks: Oh, it's in my... oh, Eugene. I put it in my knapsack so I could read it when I had a spare moment.
Eugene Meltsner: Was it in your knapsack when you looked through it at the police station?
Katrina Shanks: No, I didn't see it.
Eugene Meltsner: Do you remember how I gave the report to you?
Katrina Shanks: Yes, you handed it to me in an envelope.
Eugene Meltsner: In an envelope!
Katrina Shanks: Eugene, do you think the thieves went to all that trouble to steal your report? What kind of report was it?
Eugene Meltsner: Fairly unimportant, I thought. Until now. Wait a minute. If you'll pardon me, Katrina, I need to go see Dr. Marcus.
Katrina Shanks: Dr. Marcus?
Eugene Meltsner: Yes, he could be in danger.
Dr. Marcus: What's this all about, Eugene? I'm very busy.
Eugene Meltsner: Yes, sir, I know. Captain Quinn said your phone line...
Dr. Marcus: Yes, I took it off the hook so I could get some work done.
Eugene Meltsner: As I told him. He wanted you to know that the Hogard book has been recovered.
Dr. Marcus: What? How? Where?
Eugene Meltsner: They found it at the thieves' hideout.
Dr. Marcus: Unbelievable. Did they catch whoever took it?
Eugene Meltsner: No, sir, and that's why I'm here. To warn you.
Dr. Marcus: Warn me?
Eugene Meltsner: Yes. On the same day that Holstein's Books was robbed, somebody stole my laptop computer, all my disks, and erased the hard drive on my main computer. And we think the same person or persons stole my car and used it as the getaway vehicle in the robbery.
Dr. Marcus: My, that's remarkable, Eugene.
Eugene Meltsner: Indeed. Just a moment ago, I realized a common denominator between my theft and the robbery.
Dr. Marcus: Oh, yes?
Eugene Meltsner: You.
Dr. Marcus: Me? How in the world do you figure that?
Eugene Meltsner: You were the one who ordered the book that was ultimately stolen.
Dr. Marcus: Yes. Well, now that can't be all of it. Go on.
Eugene Meltsner: Well, sir, Katrina was... I'm hesitant to say, sir.
Dr. Marcus: Say it!
Eugene Meltsner: Well, you remember from our conversation several days ago that I had asked Katrina to proofread the report I'd compiled.
Dr. Marcus: Proofread what report? Oh, you mean the computer analysis about statewide educational trends?
Eugene Meltsner: Yes, sir. It was in her knapsack. And though the knapsack has been recovered, the report was not.
Dr. Marcus: Eugene, I'll grant you that your report was brilliant. A masterpiece, in fact. But I don't understand why someone would go to so much trouble to steal it. All you have to do is print out another.
Eugene Meltsner: But I can't. Don't you understand? It's been erased and stolen with my laptop and disks.
Dr. Marcus: Oh, no. Oh, Eugene, I'm so sorry. All that work. And you were... what were your plans?
Eugene Meltsner: Well, once I had Katrina's notes on it, I was going to submit it to the Journal of Education.
Dr. Marcus: Yes, that's right. Eugene, I'm so sorry. What can I do? I don't have the copy you gave to me because I just threw it away after I'd read it. I assumed you had it on file and would give me the final draft when it was completed.
Eugene Meltsner: A reasonable assumption.
Dr. Marcus: Look, if you're worried about your grade...
Eugene Meltsner: Oh, no, sir. I'm worried about you.
Dr. Marcus: So you said. But I still don't understand why.
Eugene Meltsner: Because you're the link between the two incidents. You ordered the book, you commissioned the report, which makes me suspect that if the thieves are working in the context of a larger diabolical plan, then you may be in grave danger.
Dr. Marcus: Is this what the police think?
Eugene Meltsner: No, sir, I haven't talked to them about it.
Dr. Marcus: A good thing, Eugene. Because I think you're being terribly overdramatic. Now, what kind of danger could I be in? I don't have anything a thief would want. If they want the book and the report that bad, they can have them. With all due respect to your loss, of course.
Eugene Meltsner: I'm simply suggesting that until these villains are apprehended, you should watch your back.
Dr. Marcus: Okay, Eugene. I'll watch my back.
Eugene Meltsner: And perhaps you should put your phone back on the hook?
Dr. Marcus: Consider it done. Now, is there anything else?
Eugene Meltsner: No, sir.
Dr. Marcus: Then thank you, Eugene. I appreciate your concern.
Eugene Meltsner: You're welcome.
Captain Quinn: Quinn here. Ah, Stew. What do you have? And it better be good. Yeah. Oh, wait a minute. Let me put you on the speakerphone so Detective Ethan can hear you. Are you there?
Stew (Voice): I'm here.
Captain Quinn: All right, already. What did you find?
Stew (Voice): We have our man.
Captain Quinn: What? Who is he?
Stew (Voice): Martin Franklin Johns. He's been arrested before on small-time thefts. That's why his fingerprints were in the computer.
Captain Quinn: Martin Johns. Got it. I'll run a check on it.
Stew (Voice): Don't have to. I did it already. I'm faxing the info through right now, including his address in Connelsville.
Captain Quinn: You're terrific, Stew.
Stew (Voice): And guess what, Captain?
Captain Quinn: What?
Stew (Voice): He owns a pickup truck.
Captain Quinn: I love you, Stew. Buy yourself some dinner on the department.
Stew (Voice): Deal.
Patty Ethan: Looks like we're going to Connelsville.
Captain Quinn: You better believe it.
Martin Johns: Don't move! Police officer!
Guest (Male): Well, what's going on here? Don't you guys know how to knock?
Captain Quinn: Martin Johns, we have a warrant to search your apartment and to place you under arrest.
Martin Johns: I haven't done anything. You have me confused with someone else. What's the charge?
Captain Quinn: Suspicion of armed robbery and kidnapping.
Martin Johns: No way! It's a case of mistaken identity.
Captain Quinn: Officer Burke, read him his rights.
Officer Burke: You have the right to remain silent.
Martin Johns: I want my lawyer!
Dr. Marcus: Marcus here. Calm down, calm down. When? I said to calm down. This isn't the end of the world. Don't threaten me. We'll think of something. Just stay put until you hear from me. Goodbye. Just my luck.
Patty Ethan: Thank you for coming down on such short notice, Mr. Roberts.
George Roberts: Sure, anything I can do. I am really impressed that you caught one of them so fast.
Patty Ethan: We couldn't have done it without your daughter. How you doing, Jenny?
Jenny Roberts: I'm okay.
George Roberts: She's a hero at school.
Patty Ethan: Well, she should be. Now here's what's going to happen. We'll go into this room. It has a two-way mirror looking into our interrogation room.
Jenny Roberts: Is that where you have him?
Patty Ethan: Yes. He won't be able to see or hear you. But I want you to listen to him and tell me if it's the same voice as one of your kidnappers, okay?
Jenny Roberts: Got it. Let's go in.
Martin Johns: I won't talk till I see my lawyer.
Captain Quinn: Well, I'm sure your lawyer will get here as soon as he can. In the meantime, why don't you tell me about the holdup? What was it you were after? It wasn't the money or the book.
Martin Johns: I don't know what holdup you're talking about.
Captain Quinn: The holdup at Holstein's Bookstore in Odyssey, where you kidnapped...
Jenny Roberts: Wait. The voice is right, but something's missing. Something he did.
Patty Ethan: What do you mean?
Martin Johns: Where's my lawyer? You can't just keep me here like this.
Jenny Roberts: That's him!
Patty Ethan: Are you sure?
Jenny Roberts: Yeah, it's the way he drops "you know" into his sentences. He did it the whole time I was with him.
Patty Ethan: You're absolutely sure?
Jenny Roberts: Absolutely.
Patty Ethan: Okay. Jenny, I know they kept saying you were the perfect hostage because you're blind. But as far as I'm concerned, you're the perfect witness.

Captain Quinn: Come in.
Katrina Shanks: Good evening.
Captain Quinn: Hello, Katrina. Did Captain Quinn get you to identify the suspect?
Katrina Shanks: Yes. As well as I could, I mean. His hair was a different color, blonde, and he had a mustache. But I'm confident it's him.
Patty Ethan: Good. Between his fingerprints at the hideout, Jenny's recognition of his voice, and your ID, it should be an open and shut case. You should get your knapsack back in no time at all.
Katrina Shanks: Yes. About that, may I look at it again?
Patty Ethan: Go ahead. You miss it that much?
Katrina Shanks: I just need to confirm something. It's not here.
Patty Ethan: What is it?
Katrina Shanks: Eugene's report.
Patty Ethan: What report?
Katrina Shanks: A report. Well, actually, an article with a computer analysis he worked on for more than a year. He was going to send it to the Journal of Education and he gave it to me to proofread. I put it in my knapsack. Hasn't Eugene called you?
Patty Ethan: No. Should he have?
Katrina Shanks: Well, I thought he would.
Patty Ethan: You're telling me that the report was in the knapsack and now it's gone?
Katrina Shanks: Yes. Eugene remembered that he had given it to me in an envelope. The piece of envelope still in my knapsack. I assume so. Katrina, will you take me to Eugene?
Katrina Shanks: Of course.
Patty Ethan: And I want you to explain everything he said once more. Very carefully. Particularly the part about his report.
Russell Cash: Look, Professor, I don't want any more of your promises. I want to know what you're going to do about Martin.
Dr. Marcus: Look, you've got your money. I lived up to my part of the deal. You can't blame me for your own clumsiness. Kidnapping the girl, leaving fingerprints at the hideout. And what were you thinking when you left the knapsack and the book behind?
Russell Cash: That building was supposed to be demolished before the cops found it, remember? That was your bright idea.
Dr. Marcus: Well, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. You have to be quiet so I can think. There's an angle I haven't thought of. Yes, who is it?
Eugene Meltsner: Eugene Meltsner, sir.
Dr. Marcus: Just a moment, please. Just what I needed. Hide in the other room. I'll get rid of him as soon as I can.
Russell Cash: No tricks, Marcus.
Dr. Marcus: I'm all out of tricks. You imbeciles used them up. Go on. Come in.
Eugene Meltsner: I'm sorry to bother you again, Dr. Marcus. Oh, I thought I heard you talking to someone.
Dr. Marcus: Oh, well, I was on the phone, Eugene. What do you want?
Eugene Meltsner: I just came to tell you some good news.
Dr. Marcus: Ah, I could use some.
Eugene Meltsner: You're not in danger after all.
Dr. Marcus: I'm not? And why aren't I?
Eugene Meltsner: Katrina found a printed copy of my report in her recently recovered knapsack.
Dr. Marcus: What?
Eugene Meltsner: Apparently, it was in one of the side pouches and wasn't noticed until this evening. So I have my report and you have nothing to worry about.
Dr. Marcus: Well, that's wonderful. I'm very happy for you, Eugene. Do you happen to have it with you? The report, I mean.
Eugene Meltsner: No, it's back in my room, safe and sound. I'm going there now to scan it into my computer and then send it off to the Journal of Education first thing in the morning.
Dr. Marcus: Eugene, you have made my night. In fact, I'll one-up that idea. Bring me the report right now, and I'll send it on to the journal with a cover letter of recommendation. After all, considering the work you did, the extensive statistics and theories you formulated about education practices in this state, I think it deserves as much of a push as I can give it.
Eugene Meltsner: Well, that's very kind of you, sir. But I'd prefer to bring it tomorrow after I've made some backup copies.
Dr. Marcus: Oh, sure. Yes, of course. What was I thinking? By all means, do that. But I want you here first thing, all right?
Eugene Meltsner: You can count on me.
Dr. Marcus: I knew I could, Eugene. Thank you. Thank you for stopping by. Goodnight.
Eugene Meltsner: Goodnight, sir.
Russell Cash: I heard every word. It's impossible. That report is back at my apartment keeping my mattress firm. He's bluffing.
Dr. Marcus: Why would he bluff? Something's wrong here, and you better get over to his dorm room and get that report from Meltsner.
Eugene Meltsner: Hello? Hello? Is someone out there? Who's there? Be forewarned, I'm equipped with a very heavy paperweight, and I am not afraid to use it. Who's there?
Russell Cash: I want that report.
Eugene Meltsner: What?
Russell Cash: Turn on the light, for crying out loud. Otherwise, we'll just keep banging around.
Eugene Meltsner: Good idea. Oh, a ski mask. How clever. Have you come to erase everything else I own? My cassette tapes, a few pencil smudges?
Russell Cash: Just hand over the report.
Eugene Meltsner: Which report?
Russell Cash: The analysis for the Journal of Education. Come on!
Eugene Meltsner: Why is it so important?
Russell Cash: None of your business. Look, I don't want trouble and I don't want to have to hurt you.
Eugene Meltsner: Is that what you said to Jenny Roberts when you kidnapped her from Holstein's Bookstore?
Russell Cash: Who?
Eugene Meltsner: I think you know her better as Abraham Lincoln.
Russell Cash: Hey, what is this?
Captain Quinn: Hold it! Don't bother. You've been baited and trapped. Care to make a confession?
Russell Cash: Forget it. Apart from this petty breaking, you have nothing on me.
Patty Ethan: So you think. But by now, Dr. Marcus has been taken in by Captain Quinn. And if he's the coward I think he is, he's made a full confession.
Russell Cash: Yeah, you're probably right.
Eugene Meltsner: I'm in shock. I still refuse to believe that a man of Dr. Marcus's stature would be involved in such an escapade.
Patty Ethan: And I appreciate your feelings, Eugene. But he was not only involved, he masterminded most of it.
Eugene Meltsner: But he's a highly esteemed scholar!
Patty Ethan: It's because he's a highly esteemed scholar that this happened, Eugene. Dr. Marcus was up for tenure at the college.
Katrina Shanks: Excuse me, Detective, would you explain tenure to the younger members in your audience?
Patty Ethan: Tenure is something that most college and university teachers want. It's like a permanent contract that guarantees them good pay and job security.
Katrina Shanks: So if they get it, they can't be fired?
Patty Ethan: Well, something like that, yes. And it puts them in line for big promotions and prestige. If you're a teacher, it's one of the most important things you can have. But Dr. Marcus hadn't fulfilled an important requirement to get it. He hadn't written a substantial article for a reputable academic journal. Enter Eugene Meltsner.
Eugene Meltsner: I can't believe it.
Patty Ethan: Dr. Marcus had sponsored Eugene's work and insisted it be kept secret. You didn't tell anyone what you were working on, did you, Eugene?
Eugene Meltsner: No.
Patty Ethan: And since Eugene trusted him completely, Marcus saw a prime opportunity to steal Eugene's results.
Katrina Shanks: But didn't he think Eugene would complain?
Patty Ethan: Of course he did. But then it would be just a student's word against a distinguished professor's. It's incomprehensible. But Marcus wasn't going to take any chances. He needed to get rid of all of Eugene's copies, all proof that Eugene was the real author. How? Well, one obvious way. As Eugene's sponsor, he simply asked him where the copies were. And Eugene told him.
Eugene Meltsner: And why wouldn't I?
Patty Ethan: Enter Martin Johns and Russell Cash, two petty thieves from Connelsville hired to steal everything that would connect Eugene to the report. They came up with a pretty good plan. First, break into Eugene's room, steal his laptop, disks, and then erase the hard drive on his desktop computer. Make it look like a typical burglary with some vandalism thrown in.
Katrina Shanks: But why steal Eugene's car?
Patty Ethan: I'm waiting for Johns or Cash to confess about that. Maybe they didn't know it was Eugene's car. They just grabbed what was handy. Or maybe they were being too clever for their own good. Anyway, stolen vehicles as getaway cars are common in robbery. It helps to throw the police off the track.
Katrina Shanks: So how does the robbery fit in all this?
Patty Ethan: Eugene told Marcus that he'd given a copy of the report to Katrina. Maybe Johns and Cash searched her apartment and couldn't find it. Maybe they'd been watching and saw her put it in her knapsack. Either way, they knew it was there. But how could they steal it? Better still, how could they steal it without making it obvious they were stealing the report and throw attention in a completely different direction? By staging a holdup! Right. Rob Holstein's books of its cash, grab what everyone knows is a valuable book, and casually shove it in the nearest and handiest knapsack. Rush off and dump everything except the report in a hideout that's doomed to be demolished. And it's easy. Marcus submits the report as his own and Eugene doesn't have a leg to stand on. But they were wrong on several points because they misjudged the people involved.
Captain Quinn: How so?
Patty Ethan: Well, they misjudged Holstein for one. They didn't expect him to have the sense to put a silent alarm in his store. So they panicked and grabbed Jenny because they thought she'd make the perfect hostage. They never believed that she'd make a great earwitness and guide us in the right directions. And I suspect they thought a small town like Odyssey wouldn't have the police to keep up with them. Just like Dr. Marcus never believed anyone would think he was capable of committing such a crime in the first place. Their perception was all wrong from the start. The rest you know.
Eugene Meltsner: Indeed.
Patty Ethan: With that, we can declare this case closed.
Captain Quinn: Detective Ethan, I want to thank you for all your cunning and skill. The sheriff's office was smart to send you our way.
Patty Ethan: Well, they have their moments. I suppose I should go home now. It's been very nice getting to know all of you. Particularly you, Jenny. I meant what I said about you being a perfect witness.
Jenny Roberts: Thank you.
Captain Quinn: Detective, if you ever want a job in a small town, think about us.
Patty Ethan: I will. You know there's only one thing I'm disappointed about.
Captain Quinn: What's that?
Patty Ethan: I was told I couldn't come to Odyssey without having ice cream at a place called Whit's End. You haven't heard of it, have you?
Eugene Meltsner: Whit's End? Sounds familiar.
Katrina Shanks: Yes, where have I heard that name?
Eugene Meltsner: Imagine being here all this time and not knowing...
Jenny Roberts: Stop it, you guys. Detective Ethan?
Patty Ethan: Yes, Jenny.
Jenny Roberts: Why don't you take my hand and we'll walk there, together?
Patty Ethan: I'd love to.
Focus on the Family (Chris): Throughout the Bible, we're told that it's not who we are on the outside, but who we are on the inside that counts. God said it to the prophet Samuel right before Samuel met King David. Take a look at 1 Samuel 16:7. God said, "The Lord does not see as man sees. Men see only outward appearances, but God sees into the heart." Like Detective Ethan noted at the very end of our adventure, the thieves thought that since Jenny was blind, she couldn't help the police. Dr. Marcus was certain that because he was well-known and had a good reputation, he could steal Eugene's work and mastermind the robbery without anyone suspecting him. Our villains were wrong, of course. And we should be careful not to make the same mistake when we look at people around us. Just because they seem to be popular or intelligent like Dr. Marcus, or even seem to have a handicap like Jenny, we need to realize that those are only outside appearances and may not reflect who those people are on the inside. That's an important lesson to remember. Well, that's all for now. If you'd like to write to us, we'd surely love to hear from you. Just send your card or letter to: Adventures in Odyssey, Colorado Springs, Colorado, 80995. Or in Canada, write to: Box 9800, Vancouver, BC, V6B 4G3. And don't forget to ask about getting a copy of today's episode. It's called "The Perfect Witness". Adventures in Odyssey's a presentation of Focus on the Family. "The Perfect Witness" was written and directed by Paul McCusker. Our production engineer was Mark Drury. Our executive producer is Chuck Bolte.
