All language subtitles for Alfred Hitchcock s05e32 One Grave Too Many

Good evening.

Did anyone see a golf ball go by?

It couldn't have gone far.

I just gave it a toss.

I've been employing this means of
getting around the golf course since the

voted to ban all motorized carts.

It was a ban I heartily endorsed.

By the way, since the carts were always
tipping over when they ran over

laggards, this slowed up the game
terribly.

This system of travel also helps me
comply with another rule which was made

because of the crowded condition of the
course.

We are asked to play in foursomes.

But I believe you tuned in for a story.
I shall step aside and allow you to play

through.

Oh, cut it out, will you?

What's the matter, Joe? The noon whistle
wake you up?

That late already?

Boy, I must have really been pooped.

What's for breakfast?

You mean lunch, don't you?

I've been up since 8 o 'clock listening
to you snore.

Things aren't bad enough you've got to
watch television until 2 o 'clock in the

morning. It was a good movie.

Don't you see enough movies?

Now, what does that crack mean?

Oh, you know what I mean.

Don't you think I know where you spend
your afternoons?

I've been looking for work every day.

What ads? An usher?

But you're toasting.

Look, Irene, I've been to half a dozen
employment agencies this week, and I

on two interviews.

They just didn't pan out, that's all.

How come they never pan out with you,
Joe?

How come everybody else is working and
you can't even collect unemployment

insurance anymore?

You're going to burn those eggs.

Cases are full of jobs I can read, you
know.

Yeah, they're full of jobs, but what
kind of jobs, huh?

You just don't understand the way it is
with me, Irene. You never did.

I'm not a laborer. Then get a job in an
office.

You mean a clerk's job? Yes.

That's not for me.

I've got to have something with a
future.

You should have taken that job my
brother offered.

And sell shoes? I'd starve first. We
might just do that.

Do you know that Mr. Waters won't give
me any more credit?

Do you know that I haven't even got a
bottle of milk in this house?

Oh, what's the matter with this toast?

This thing's broken, Irene.

It was all right this morning.

Oh, no.

It's the electricity.

Well, how do you like that for a nerve?
They cut us off.

Oh, forget it, honey.

We'll get along for a while.

It'd be kind of romantic with candles
around this place.

Oh, Joe.

I'm so ashamed.

I'm so ashamed.

There's nothing to be ashamed of.

We've got to get some money, Joe.

We need money. Okay, okay. I'll go out
this afternoon and take the first thing

that comes along.

We need it now.

We need it right now.

We can't go on owing everybody.

Maybe if we ask David. Oh, no, you
don't.

I'm not asking your brother for another
dime.

Look, I'll tell you what we'll do.

I'll go out and get ourselves a loan to
tide us over.

Just a small one.

And then I'll go back to that employment
agency and I'll take anything they

offer. I'll dig ditches, Irene.
Anything.

There. Does that make you feel better?

Oh, John.

It's going to be okay, honey.

Don't you worry about a thing.

It's going to be all right.

Mr. Helmer, that your last employment
was in food merchandising.

Just what kind of work was that?

I worked in a meat market.

Pardon? I sold meat in a supermarket.

Oh. That was way back in April,
according to this.

Have you been on the unemployment
insurance since then?

It stopped last month.

And you're married?

Yes. No children.

You've had quite a number of jobs in
that time, haven't you?

Route salesman, waiter, dry cleaner,
printer.

Printers do pretty well, don't they?

Well, I wasn't exactly a printer. I was
a night watchman in a big printing

plant. I guess that's a mistake, what I
wrote there.

Oh, I see.

And the purpose of the loan?

Oh, it says home improvement.

Home improvement?

Yes, yes, that's right.

Do you have any collateral, Mr. Helmer?
Any stocks or bonds or jewelry or

anything like that?

No. Do you own a car?

No.

You're not making this easy for me, Mr.
Helmer.

Now, I told you that the Friendship
Corporation doesn't like to turn anyone

from its door.

But you present a rather, or shall I
say, a bleak picture of your finances.

Look, I only want to borrow a hundred
bucks. I'm not looking for any million.

Well, the amount isn't the problem. It's
your credit.

You haven't worked for three months.

You haven't any collateral.

Say,

what about a co -signer?

Do you think you could find one?

No, I don't think I could do that.

Oh, some relative, maybe?

No.

I'm asking nothing of them. Nothing.

I'm trying to help you, Mr. Helmer, but
under the circumstances, I... You mean I

don't get the money? Well, what can I
do? My hands are tied.

Okay, okay.

That's the way you want it.

Thank you.

Mister, you all right?

Well, you certainly took your time.

But there's a murder.

It's warm, you know.

The refrigerator isn't working.

I don't care.

Well, what about it? Did you get the
loan?

No, I didn't get the loan.

Well, you know how they are.

You can't get any money unless you can
prove you don't need it.

I'm not surprised.

Well, we'll just have to call David
tomorrow.

I won't have to call, Davy.

What are we going to do?

I don't mind candlelight suppers, only
there won't be any supper.

You know that, don't you?

I know.

Oh, stop it, Joe.

I'm in no mood for kidding around.

You know where I was all afternoon?

How should I know? In the movies, I
suppose.

You're wrong.

I was with an old pal of mine, a buddy
from the army.

I hope he bought the drinks.

He did better than that.

He remembered about some dough he
borrowed from me when we were both

at Fort Bragg.

I got him out of a real jam once and he
remembered.

Shows there are still some nice people
in the world.

Are you serious?

Sure I'm serious.

Want to see the money?

Sure. Let's see it.

I'm not sure I'll recognize this stuff,
but let's try.

Oh, Joe.

How much is that?

275 bucks.

Almost 300 dollars.

That's exactly what he owes me.

It's about time we got a break, isn't
it?

Oh, Joe, this is wonderful.

Now we can give $50 to Mr. Peterson and
$100 for Mr. Waters so we can get back

our charge of time and we'll call the
electric rate. Take it easy, would you?

Leave out about $10 for a good steak
dinner tonight. We owe it to ourselves,

don't we?

Tonight? You really mean it? Sure I mean
it. I'll take you to that steakhouse on

First Avenue.

Oh, Joe.

I've got to shave, and you put on your
blue dress, and we'll get going, huh?

starved. All right.

Marvin Horn.

Mine is... 70th Street, New York.

Thank you, Marvin.

To a form of cataleptic illness which
may appear to cause death.

If I am found, notify at once. Dr.
Nelson Kruger, 441 -E64.

I have to see.

I thought you were shaving.

I've got to go out, Irene.

Out? Out where?

Well, I can't explain now. It's
something I forgot. Something important.

But, but Claire, what about dinner? You
told me to get dinner. I've got to go

out!

Evening. Some excitement, huh? It was an
ambulance, wasn't it? Man dropped dead

in the street.

Sure he was dead?

He was dead, all right.

You know anything about it, mister?

Me? Yeah, you.

Not a thing.

Just passing by, saw the ambulance. I
was just curious, that's all.

Can I speak to Dr. Kruger, please?

I'm sorry, Dr.

Kruger's not available right now. May I
take a message?

Well, where is he? I have to talk to
him. He's on vacation.

If you'll just give me your name.

Look, my name's not important. Are you
his nurse?

No, sir. This is his answer service.

Get me the police.

21st Precinct, Sergeant Dugan.

Look, one of your ambulances just picked
up a man at 17th Street and 2nd Avenue

about an hour ago.

What was that name again?

I didn't give any name.

Look, I'm talking about the man who fell
dead in the street, the one that they

took away.

I wanted to tell you that he isn't
really dead.

Hey, what is this, some kind of a joke?

Look, I'm serious.

The guy had a kind of an attack, that's
all, but you shouldn't...

Bury him. Whatever you do, don't bury
him.

Look, Mac, I'll tell you what you do.

Come on over here and tell us all about
it, huh?

Come on over right now.

No, I...

Steak dinner.

I'm sorry.

I opened a can of pork and beans.

Still some left if you want any.

It's not exactly sirloin, but it's
filling.

I'm not hungry.

You gonna tell me where you went?

There's nothing important. I just forgot
something at that bar.

That place where I met my army buddy.

Went back to see if it was still there.

I guess it was.

I can smell it. So I had a couple of
beers.

We have beer at home.

For Pete's sake, do we have to have a
quiz program every night?

Oh, Joe.

Joe, what's happening to us?

This morning we were picking at each
other because we didn't have any money.

And tonight I've got a jar full of $20
bills and... Joe?

It's not another girl, is it?

No, it's not another girl.

Now, will you just please leave me alone
for a while?

Sure.

I'll leave you alone.

No, ma 'am.

There's no law against keeping a dog in
the backyard.

As long as the animal isn't giving any
trouble, there's nothing we can do about

it.

Yes, you let us know.

Thank you, ma 'am.

Yes, sir, what can I do for you?

My name's Helmer. I'm the one who
telephoned tonight.

We've had a lot of calls tonight. What
was yours about?

About the dead man on 17th Street.

Oh, yes, I remember.

You're the man who said he wasn't dead.

Yeah. Would you have a seat right over
there? I spoke to Lieutenant Bates about

this. He'd like to speak to you.

Lieutenant Bates, please.

away in 17th Street?

Well, that man just came in, the one
that called.

Right.

He'll be with you in a minute.

This is Mr. Halmer, Lieutenant.

Mr. Halmer, I'm Lieutenant Davis.

Let's admit, Mr. Halmer, that your phone
call kind of puzzled me. You sure we're

talking about the same man? Yeah, I'm
sure.

It was on 17th Street, about 9 o 'clock.

Small, well -dressed man.

Gray hair, about 60. Yes, that's him.

And you don't think he's dead?

I know he isn't dead.

They looked pretty dead when they
brought him in here. There was no high

no pulse, no nothing.

The doctor examined him, said he was
dead. They wrote out a death

The body's in the morgue now, awaiting
burial.

You see, Mr. Helmer, there's nothing to
worry about. He's really dead. I'll take

my word for it. You think I'm insane?
You think I'm some kind of nut?

I didn't say that, Mr. Helmer. Yeah, but
that's what you're thinking, right?

Only you're wrong.

I saw the guy's wallet.

He had a card in it that said he wasn't
dead.

We didn't find any card.

Yeah, but it was there. I saw it.

How did you see it, Mr. Helmer?

Well, I saw him when he fell down, and I
went looking through his pockets for

identification, you know?

So I saw this card. It said he was a
cataleptic.

It said he might look dead, but he
really wasn't.

Are you sure that's how it happened?

All right.

So I took his wallet.

I thought he was dead. I thought he
wouldn't need the money anymore.

That's what I thought.

Only you gotta stop him, Lieutenant. You
can't let them bury him.

The thief they brought in tonight, was
it transferred to the city morgue?

Yeah. It's still in the freezer, huh?

Well, showcase them. We'll be right
down.

Mr. Helmer.

It's not too cold for you, Mr. Helmer.

Keep it pretty chilly down here.

I'm okay.

Can you identify this man, Mr. Helmer?

Yeah, that's him. That's Marvin Horn.

His name's not Horn. It's Kappa.

Sonny Boy Kappa.

We've known about him for a long, long
time.

It's our business to know about men like
Sonny Boy.

He was one of the slickest pickpockets
in the country.

Till his bum heart gave out.

Pickpocket?

And this isn't Marvin?

Let's go upstairs, Mr. Helmer.

We've got some talking to do.

the shout of four.

Apparently someone is counting my horses
again.

I shall have to move on.

Suppose you join me at the next tea.

I found this in the rough we just passed
through.

I wonder who it belongs to.

Until next week, good night.
