his life the victim of a bizarre encounter the crazed killer on the streets of Los Angeles
it was a fight for survival that Lee would not win lee seunghwan was a man who loved the nightlife of Los Angeles
was an important part of it but simply because he looked different Lee and his friends were arbitrarily targeted for
murder the sad irony of his death is that he was only an innocent bystander the search for his killer has been taken
to the streets of Los Angeles by his family and the rockers and bikers who loved him when he first got his
motorcycle I guess I was probably a little bit nervous about it but I knew that he was careful and I knew that he
wouldn't take chances unnecessary chances wouldn't ride on the freeways he he wasn't a crazy kind of person and so I
really didn't worry about him a 2ao October the enemy MC friend left a Hollywood nightclub unaware of the
danger that awaited in the street they wrote to buy to Lee and a friend Maine beachy trading Mike Auerbach and
Rob Caliphate wrote in front drive along and all of a sudden out of nowhere this
truck comes flying by me as he comes by he dives in on the rap you screaming haha you screaming
something I don't gonna hear just laughing dives it on me I look over mic and in LA this happens
every day every day but not so clean infuriated because he's trying to kill me and I'm really close to the guy yo
and I what the hell you trying to do trying to kill me and he starts screaming at me and looked
like like the net I'm drugged spear would ever cycle then he rolls his window down and spits in my face right
in my face and just anybody get significant in their face cuz irate so I punched out his mirror and he's still
alone his window down up and down spitting at me ground screaming and then he starts reaching down like he's bad
again I put my fist through his driver's window as soon as I broke his window he
triggered shot out of the intersection and he's doing a Brody u-turn and Mike and I love each other's got some killers
it's coming after us Nimoy's down does you turn comes after us we're flying down the street and I'm just
going and I see his headlights bearing down on us I'm just gonna sit back together so we we choose to go right and
as I look back T's comes flying through the intersection screeching bouncing and
comes to a sly stop when we got to the intersection he turned left the man in the truck followed me
he's like create a for what I've seen he's a crazed maniac cuz he he just wanted to kill me he wanted to kill me
instead of Rob calafate lease owned became the target of the drivers rage according to the witnesses they were
both going anywhere from 60 to 90 miles an hour and here you have a young man who is known by his friends known by his
family as a very peaceable man who purposely avoids fights even when confronted even though if he is
physically harmed by somebody he'll turn a walk away you have a man like that who's out riding his motorcycle having
fun and also he's in a situation where he's terrorized by someone in a car she had to be in complete terror and
this terror lasted approximately about a five mile chase with this man right on his rear end according to the witnesses
he was right on and he chased him until the time they actually hit him and drove
him into a telephone pole Lee when he flew through the air he flew close to 180 feet before I came
to arrest this is a murder that's a homicide someone intentionally took the life of another person it's a
homicide the massive skull fracture Lee received in the collision was a cause of his
death I received a call from Cedars they said that he was in the intensive care and I
knew I just knew but I don't believe it's real but it isn't real he was such a big part of my life he was my buddy
it wasn't just my son he was my buddy [Music] at least funeral hundreds of his friends
paid tribute to this music video with footage shot at the funeral was set to an original song dedicated to Lee's
memory by the rock group Little Caesar it was amazing to see all these people who really cared there's no way that
that that can be consolation enough there's a real tribute to whom Lee was by how many people were there and how
many people really have shown how much they cared [Music] these friends organized a rock concert
in his honor the special guest performances by Billy Idol Julian Leonard among others proceeds from the
concert went to a fund offering a reward to anyone who could bring Lee's murder to justice
a lot of people take the opinion that these guys are motorcycle gang members when in fact there was four guys out
having a good time they happen to like to ride harley-davidson motorcycles what really counts is who they are and what
they're doing these people weren't doing anything wrong that night and they had a
right to be out there riding their motorcycles and dressed the way they were at least someone wasn't even the
man who gave him the problem it was another one of the motorcyclists but this man was so bent on catching the bad
person it didn't matter to him who was on the motorcycle he had to catch that motorcycle and he had to run him over
it's incomprehensible to me to think that we could never find this man it's I can't even imagine that I could live the
rest of my life not knowing who did this these killer drove a late-model two-tone
vehicle with a chrome luggage rack and tinted windows most eyewitnesses agree that it was a Bronco - or a Chevy Blazer
and that his colors were red on white damage to the vehicle included a smashed outside rear view mirror a broken window
and a dented door all in the driver's side the vehicle would probably have come into an auto body shop for repair
sometime after October 8th the driver of the vehicle is described as Caucasian aged 28 to 32 with green eyes and
reddish brown hair and beard incredibly four years went by before police finally
got the tip they'd been waiting for after a recent rebroadcast of the story a viewer called our phone center and
told one of the operators that there was a man in prison in Georgia would often bragged about running down a biker in
Los Angeles the Los Angeles police obtained a mug shot of the suspect Lee's friends picked the man out of a photo
lineup his name is Franklin Legrand Perkins on July 30th 1993 just five days before Perkins was scheduled for parole
he was arrested one week later he was brought back to Los Angeles by Detective Dan Andrews most murder victims know
their attackers know their killers but this is a case that that just wasn't that way this was a random event a
person was basically minding his own business and and unfortunate was in the wrong place at the wrong time and I
think it's very unusual to identify somebody and be able to solve a case after five years it's a very good
feeling except for the most important fact which is nothing can ever bring Lee back I hope this will bring some closure
to this five years of uncertainty and the pain that goes along with it [Music] finally justice can be served and and
also I'm grateful that this man is not out there committing other crimes and hurting other people who killing other
people's loved ones one portion of the grief will be closed we're dealt with and I know that when I'm driving on the
streets I won't be looking in other cars wondering if that might be the guy in an
earlier broadcast we presented the story of Stephen Cox accused of defrauding his
friends and neighbors in Medford Oregon and three and a half million dollars thanks to our viewers the four year
search for Cox has ended in 1982 Stephen Cox formed an investment company offering his clients at 25 percent
return on their money Cox was able to convince many people in Medford to invest their life savings
totaling three and a half million dollars at first his business prospered then in 1984 it began to sour on
September 22nd 1984 Stephen Cox vanished allegedly took with him over $200,000 in
gold silver jewelry and cash within minutes of our broadcast in November six viewers called our 800 number to report
that Cox was living in Boise Idaho under the assumed name Robert Bradley Davis however just hours before the broadcast
Cox disappeared again telling his wife he was going to Hawaii update Stephen Cox has been arrested in
Lake Mead Nevada's 25 miles southeast of Las Vegas five days after he fled from Boise Cox checked into the Lake Mead
Lodge Motel he registered under the name John strums listed Mara zona address he
was not the normal guest he stayed in his room all day long he would only leave at
night very seldom did he leave in the daytime and we noticed that the license plates were not the same as he had put
down on his registration card and that made us a little suspicious but yet nothing we could put a finger on two
weeks later Edna Reed made a startling discovery one day and when I was out on the ground
I saw the guest come out of his room instead of putting his trash and Ben in front of his room he took it up to
number 35 which was several doors away and when I went to empty the trash out of that bin I found the crumpled up
letter and like any curious female I read the letter when I read the letter I saw the part that said something about
the unsolved mystery show being a bombshell I showed the letter to my husband Harold and between the two of us
we decided it was time definitely to call the Rangers and tell them about the guest lake me Park Rangers immediately
ran a computer check and discovered that the car belong to someone other than John Strauss on the morning of the 14th
we began to look for the person by going to the Lake Mead Lodge to see if we could identify in fact who he really was
when we got there the vehicle was gone and the person was gone and had been gone for 15 or 20 minutes the next
morning Park Rangers spotted Cox's car pulled him over in the parking lot of the Gold Strike casino after we made the
traffic stop he produced identification the driver's license issued to a Robert Davis and we checked that name and date
of birth through the NCIC computer he found that it was an alias used by one Stephen Cox and that there was a warrant
for mr. Cox at that point we placed him under arrest during a search of Cox's cars Park Rangers uncovered a small
fortune when we looked in the passenger compartment of the vehicle and in the trunk we found suitcases and other
luggage tech bags filled with jewelry rings necklaces collectors type baseball cards some gold coins silver coins and I
was really very curious to know why he had it in the vehicle and if in fact this was the stuff that he was wanted
for taking in the first place [Music] April 2nd 1988 Baldwin borough Pennsylvania a suburb of Greater
Pittsburgh 30 volunteer firemen gather on a steep bluff overlooking the Monongahela River at the suggestion of a
psyche they are here to search for the remains of Michael rosenbloom a young Pittsburgh man who has been missing for
over eight years or Maurice Rosenbloom this search is his latest desperate attempt to determine the fate of his son
Michael who disappeared on Valentine's Day in 1980 from a road that runs along the foot of the cliff there is not the
slightest possibility in my mind that he could be out there alive I pray that that one in ten million chance what
happened but I just can't believe it I just can't believe it I guess you always have some hope as long as I don't have a
body there's always hope over the last eight years Maurice Rosenberg has spent almost a quarter of a million dollars
doggedly pursuing every lead to find his missing son strangely many of those leads suggested
that the authorities interfered in the investigation maurices loan request has uncovered disturbing indications an
important document may have been forged a questionable arrest warrant for his son was issued and crucial evidence was
ignored the search for Michael has led to a scandal in which a police chief was fired and then reinstated after a
hearing maurice rosenbloom is not satisfied the investigation into his son's disappearance
Michael Rosenbloom began experimenting with drugs during high school and soon became a heavy user of a prescription
painkiller that altered his moods and made him erratic and irritable Michael's life spun wildly out of control but
throughout he retained the strong support and love of his family he was into drugs at the time that was a bad
time for all the kids that were ever into drugs there was a thing that just came out now called tough love and it
was supposed to be the thing to do was tell him you're through here you can't live here you're out if you won't live
according to my rules you're out I had never done that and the one time that I listened that I did that I never saw him
again the night of February 13th 1980 a month after he was released from a drug rehab program Michael began acting
abnormally Barbara Rosenbloom found a bottle of painkillers in his bedroom she banished Michael and his girlfriend Lisa
from their home they left and Lisa's car I said to Michael don't come back until
you're completely off drugs until you want to live your life the way should and that's that's the way it is I've
always folded myself for that and I probably will till I die that I didn't say okay well we'll try again maybe
tomorrow will be different Michael the next morning Michael awoke with a severe drug hangover Lisa drove him to a
local hospital but he refused to be treated according to Lisa Michael became increasingly agitated 15 minutes later
he left her stranded at a local gas station and drove off erratically Michael Rosen blooms last words were go
to my parents house I'll see you there in two hours he has not been seen since I figure well he took her car and he
took off for a day or two he'll be back or he'll call we waited that night there
were no calls I became seriously worried my wife felt immediately that it was a terminal situation that he was dead I
didn't he would never have just left when he left there was money in his bank account it was closed when his closet
and if he were going to have gone anywhere he would have said to us I plan to do such-and-such and I'm going to
take my money and go but all of that his money is still in this bank account his
clothes were in his closet where since cotton they're gone and that wasn't his style it wasn't his way
the following day rose and blooms filed a missing-persons report with local authorities the Pittsburgh Police
Department who began an immediate search for the car private investigator Steve intersect was a detective for the
Pittsburgh Police when Michael Rosen will vanished you need a starting point any homicide
case your dead bodies you starting with in this case the car would have been a started so important we find a car as
quickly as possible and then think the steps to notify the media for their help and asking the general public if anybody
saw the boy who was in the car they know what happened to him after the Pittsburgh police had searched for two
weeks they found no car and no body so Michaels father began his own search he offered a reward for information posted
flyers and traveled as far away as California visiting with friends Michael may have contacted I launched the
investigation myself because I was concerned about finding him and seeing if I couldn't put him back on the right
track again so I was after him for myself that kind of suit things over put it back together again if I could it was
too late it was too late it's just - right [Music] three months later from May 21st 1980
the police department and Baldwin borough a Pittsburgh suburb notified Lisa that her car had been found
according to official records the car had been impounded on the day that Michael vanished
Maurice rosenbloom wanted to know what happened during those three months we couldn't believe that they had that car
for 91 days absolutely couldn't believe it the Pittsburgh police had contacted every Police Department in this area
looking for that specific car and here that car was discovered in the police bonded tow yard less than three miles
from where we're sitting right now I think everybody was quite upset to say the least
and there was a lot of discussion about and the old terms of policemen can you believe this can you believe what
Baldwin done River Road where Lisa's car was found connects Baldwin borough with
Pittsburgh's Southside a Baldwin police dispatcher was definitely contacted by the Pittsburgh Police when they searched
for the car but no one can say whether the information was ever officially circulated
[Music] just two hours after Michael left Lisa a Bolden police unit found her car on
River Road two of the tires were flat the keys were gone and the engine was cool
Michael had vanished into thin air fifteen minutes later the car was towed to the Baldwin borough car pound or it
would remain resting on a spent tire rims in the next three months well no question throws your whole investigation
off if we start in the beginning that we knew that car was on River Road the whole picture would have changed
drastically my personal feeling is on being a police officer 28 years if we had known if that car was found in
Baldwin that morning within hours I strongly believe we would have known by now what had happened to Michael when
they found the car after 91 days my immediate reaction was that he was gone dead Maurice Rosenblum wanted an
explanation and the Pittsburgh Police Department went to Baldwin Borough to investigate the delay the Baldwin police
claimed that they had mail Lisa a letter the day after the car was found saying they had impounded it lisa says she
never got the letter the police eventually produced a copy of the letter but Lisa still insisted she
never received it in my opinion they deliberately misled the Pittsburgh police in the search assuming that my
son was never even involved why didn't they search for the young lady that owned the car because all this was done
to cover a more sinister fact that's why around the same time horace claims he received two anonymous phone calls their
first one came in during the time that the car was gone they said that he was arrested and i wrote it off as a
crackpot Oh after the car was found I received a second telephone call just simply said but your son was arrested by
the Baldwin Police click they were gone for six months Maurice Rosenblum searched for his missing son Michael his
offer of a big reward had borne no fruit the only concrete clues with the discovery of the car that Michael had
been driving and the two mysterious phone calls alleging that Michael had been arrested then on July 15th 1980 the
Bolden police issued a warrant for Michael Rosen Bloom's arrest he was wanted in connection with a robbery that
had taken place in April two and a half months after he had vanished now the big
twist in this whole thing was that everybody's talked to the people who were the victims of the robbery they
both told everybody from day one that the person who come in or was a white man and he had a viateur
mirrored sunglasses on that covered eye above his eyebrows and Donn almost at a bridge of his nose so the only part they
actually could see would be the forehead and the chin line but yet the composite
was made without sunglasses and I have been at police work for thirty years when I looked at the composite there's
no doubt in my mind that this composite was made from that first flyer put out on Michael rosenbloom back in February
it's just too perfect a week later the warrant was dismissed maurice rosenbloom was left with three disturbing questions
why are the Baldwin Police Department failed to respond to the Pittsburgh Police Department's request for
information when they had Lisa's car in their possession for three month why are they issued award for Michael
Rosen blooms arrest and the mysterious phone calls was there any truth to the accusation of the Baldwin Police
Department arrested Michael the day he disappeared Maurice took his suspicions to the
office of the Pennsylvania Attorney General the Baldwin Police Department was investigated and cleared of any
wrongdoing but the case would not die six and a half years after his son disappeared
Maurice received an anonymous letter urging him to talk to a woman named Jean Haslett who had worked as a dispatcher
with the baldwin Police the letter led to accusations of the department headed by police chief a Yoga body had
mishandle Michael's case mr. Rosenblum showed me an anonymous letter that he had received indicating that if he
contacted me I had information regarding the vehicle that the Baldwin police towed I then told him that approximately
two or three months after the vehicle had been towed the Chief of Police ordered his clerk
Fred Capelli to type a letter notifying the owner of the vehicle that it had been towed and
the letter was back dated to February 15th the day after the vehicle was towed I didn't take this upon myself I was
instructed to do all this Fred Capelli was chief galleries clerk he corroborated hazlit's story
approximately May 20th the chief told me to type a letter in reference to the car
that was towed from River Road I never thought anything about I did what I was told to do you know he's my boss
so I did what he told me to do and I didn't question it Fred Capelli claims that after he typed the letter the chief
ordered him to sign the name of Chester Lombardi the senior officer at the River
Road scene that Lombardi has since died he had asked Chester Lombardi and sign letter and
Chester refused to sign it because it was back then so the chief told me to go ahead and sign Chester Limbaugh his name
to it the go mail it should put in a file and that's what I did to back Tate letter and place it into the police
files as is an unusual thing and in the nine years that I was involved in in police departments it was not something
that I had ever witnessed before based on these new revelations horace wrote an angry letter to the baldwin borough
council demanding an investigation into what he thought was a cover-up in october 1987 the baldon Borough Council
held a hearing on the matter they dismissed chief de bourree for interfering with the investigation into
Michael's disappearance when he was discharged he appealed that to the Civil Service Commission and their conclusion
was that the chief was not guilty the Civil Service Commission voted to reinstate Gabor E as police chief
finding there was no misconduct they have never published a transcript of their hearings but clearly they didn't
believe Fred Capelli why they didn't believe me because the chief had friends on that Civil Service Commission and he
wouldn't believe me no matter what I said there's been so many windows made about the way it was handled and all I
can say is this Commission rendered his decision strictly on the evidence in a testimony that was presented at the
hearing this matter has never totally and resolved to satisfy anybody in law enforcement who knows what he's doing
the time that I'll let this go is when it ends and it's not over yet it's not over we're getting close but it's not
over Lloris rosenbloom persistence may have paid off during the search of the steep
hillside last April a six inch fragment of what appears to be a human bone was discovered I contended all along that
something had happened to them but the possibility that I might have proof in my pocket makes you kind of sick the
search also turned up patches of corduroy in a piece of shoe sole both items are consistent with the pants and
boots Michael Rosenblum is wearing when last seen these objects were discovered above River Road overlooking the spot
where Lisa's car was abandoned over eight years ago [Music] last month the examine the strange
disappearance of Raja stain a 62 year old father of seven from Los Angeles California on February 19th 1986
Raja's Kane told his sister that he was going to a local hardware store his family never saw him again a month after
his disappearance Rocha scar was found inside were many of his important papers including the deed to his property as
well as his glasses and false teeth Rocha skeins family believes he is alive and may be suffering from some form of
amnesia I don't give up I still pray and I find him somewhere one day I just feel
it within my heart Topeka Kansas the night after our broadcast police received a call from a man who believed
he recognized Rogers cane local resident named Homer Jackson the caller said when he'd seen
him on TV that he was and in questioning that's when he come up with the mannerisms the fact that he had no
dentures at that time a scar on his body which I don't think any probably probably knew except maybe the Los
Angeles Police and the relatives acting in the collars tip police attempted to locate only jackson only to
discover he had disappeared within days roaches game Sunland Rudy Topeka joined the police search
I'm glad I know he's been an area of about a year a year and a half and a truck driver picked him up decided to
contain him Elmer and gave him his last name which was Jackson's he goes by Elmer Jackson he's been working several
jobs or side jobs here and there laying bricks and things like that Lyn Canaan the Topeka police canvassed
the neighborhood where Jackson his left seizure they passed on flyers and will just canes picture but we're unable to
locate it it's finished it's the best lead so far the only lead for us we're unsuccessful today
[Music] on July the 29th 1988 a brazen daylight robbery took place in a suburb of Palm
Beach Florida the thief had a key to the house he was highly selective and seemed
to know just what he wanted not one fingerprint was left behind it was a quintessential inside job at the door
the thief paused long enough to leave a note for his victim he signed it el the active socialite from the warm healthy
climate of Florida may get a welcome new home for retiring senior citizens many of them are widows and divorcees who
often hope to remarry and in fact love does bloom frequently in the warm Florida sunshine but sometimes these
widows and divorcees become easy marks for a particularly sleazy type of conman a conman who moves in on their emotions
and makes off with our cash we're gonna speed it up for you with a little shuffle let's all get up and dance
[Music] on May the 20th 1988 a widow who has asked that her identity not be revealed
went to a Friday night singles dance at st. Mary's Church in West Palm Beach we will call her mrs. K eligible men were
not plentiful at these dances so when a good-looking man named Arthur Frankfort approached mrs. K and asked her to dance
she was flattered my name is IRA Frankfort Emily nice to meet you Emily would you like to
have this dance delighted when I first saw him sitting up against the wall I thought it was too
old you know it is a single stance and you do look him over after he'd asked me to dance I realized he wasn't as old as
I thought he first appeared mrs. K at Arthur Frankfort danced every dance that Friday evening is st. Mary's Church it
was the beginning of a two-month whirlwind romance and the day that I met him till the time that he left never
once was I suspicious of any move that he made as far as to question his character who he was and he was that he
was a liar and a thief Frankfort told mrs. K he was a geologist he said he had worked for the government
primarily in Alaska and I just retired after twenty-one years of service he told her we owned a house and several
other rental properties in nearby towns and lived off that income in addition to
his retirement pay so one night he came home and he said instead of renting another place for himself he thought it
would be better if he lived here once he moved in it was great I would come home
from work he'd have my dinner ready he would do the grocery shopping he would make dinner he would clean the house
vacuum the house there was no reason to have anticipated what he did [Music] he came to the house one day with money
it was wrapped in a plastic grocery bag and he said that he'd sold the house that he had rented it out with the
option to buy he asked me if I would put it away for safekeeping I'd like to ask
you to put it in the safe money but I'd like to give you the combination so you don't worry about the combination please
I offered him the safe combination because it was his money and he refused the combination he said he didn't really
want it all right eventually arthur frankfurt did allow mrs. k to give him the combination to her safe by the end
of july mrs. K in Frankfurt had lived together for one month and had settled into a comfortable domestic routine when
I came home from work that night we started play gin and during the course of the gin game he stopped what he was
doing and he says to me Emily yes you really love me yes I do very much I guess that means I can get away
with anything at that time I thought he meant to gin game because he would like to try to cheat he head the win
the day after their card game mrs. K arrived home to find the bed she shared with Arthur unmade my beds always made
either art made it or I made whoever was last up even then it did not appear out
of the ordinary to me until the time and I walked into my closet to change my clothes and discovered all the clothes
from the closet missing and then I realized that he had left mrs. K was heartbroken
[Music] on the whole table she found a note the note Arthur Frankford left said sorry
things too possessive l which was their code for love then mrs. K remembered giving him the combination to her safety
[Music] they didn't realize until the time that I read the note and went back and opened
the safe and then I discovered that I was wrong her most expensive jewelry valued at $4,500 was gone also missing
were several items that had belonged to her late husband his wedding ring handgun work ID card and driver's
license renewal for mrs. K notified the authorities took a lot of courage to call the police I wasn't in a hurry I
didn't want to say it out loud to myself that art was who he was detective David
Hoyt came up with sordid background information on this senior citizen Don Juan Arthur Frankfort was wanted for
check forgery also burglary to a condominium he's using a aka are also known as James
Ferguson police also learned that mrs. K was not Arthur Frankfurt's only victim the
president of a senior Olympic center were Frankford worked for a short time remembers receiving telephone calls from
three women who had been conned by Arthur Frankfort and they took me into their confidence admitting that
they had invited him to live with them they were sexually involved with him and it made them very very vulnerable of
course this is and of course he stole everything he could lay his hands on when he was in their home Arthur feeling
Frankfort preys on the emotions of women in their late 50s early 60s often passes
himself off as 65 years of age in reality he is 77 this is the sort of a game to it and I know he's probably
somewhere else in the United States preying on other women the same way Arthur Frankfort is six feet tall weighs
about a hundred and sixty-five pounds and has gray hair blue eyes he has been known to use the alias James Ferguson
who may now be using the alias of Andrew Kern's posing as a widower from West Palm Beach
he would have the identification papers and wedding rings to substantiate this false identity update within minutes of
our broadcast two viewers called our 800 number to report that they recognized arthur franklin the individual said I'd
know where Arthur Frankfort is I'm his ex brother-in-law my name is Floyd meadows I asked him if he had ever seen
this Arthur Frankfort do magic he said yes he did and he does it very well this is one of the keys that I never released
to the press or any other medium that Arthur Frankfort does magic we received another call about 20 minutes later from
a white female since Arthur Frankfort lives next door to me and Whitley Kentucky this was the confirmation call
that I was looking for at that time I knew we had our man two hours later Frankford was arrested at his home in
Kentucky by the McCreary County Sheriff and Kentucky State Troopers he was living under the assumed name James
Ferguson with his new wife of two months during a search of Frankfurt's house police uncovered several identification
and credit cards with different aliases they also found a handgun that may have been stolen from mrs. Kay's home we got
other calls from women that say yes I've been married to this man I've divorced him he's left me holding the bag and
what I need is for the people that have been victimized by Arthur Frankfort to come forward it's time for the public to
stand up and say hey we've had enough of Arthur Frankfort this man has preyed on
the public long enough [Music] every mystery someone somewhere who knows the truth perhaps said someone is
watching perhaps as you [Music] [Applause] [Music]
