the supervisor." So I said, "One moment,

please." And then I said, "Yes, that's

the supervisor speaking."

stars. You know, I never saw a star

until I was 16.

>> How come?

>> I was raised in Steeltown, West

Virginia, and you couldn't see the sky

for the smoke, so I ran away. Funny, I

ran away home, too. That was a long,

long time ago. [music]

I uh What'd you do after you ran away

from home? [music]

Oh, I was a car hop for a while.

Waitress in a beer joint. Clerked in a

five and 10. Cashier in a coffee shop.

>> It's not what you run away to. It's what

you run away from.

>> I ran away from a farm and the belt the

old man used to whip me with. That old

man was sure free without the belt.

>> Oh, I ran away from a lot of things. M

getting drunk all the time and never

having any decent clothes to wear and

and the borders. Especially those

borders. They wouldn't leave me alone.

Must have been tough.

>> I learned to handle him after a while.

>> Think you could handle me?

>> Sure,

>> I can handle you easy.

>> Yeah.

Hello. Is Buzz there?

He what?

Took a fishing party. When will he be

back?

No, no, no, no, never mind. I'll

All right, I'll call him later. Bye.

The bookkeeper. What's he doing here two

days ahead of time? If he finds out, I'm

sure he'll tell the old man. The old

man's mean enough to send a guy to jail

just for last. I got to get 20 bucks in

a hurry.

How about that salary loan outfit? The

one that's always yakking on the radio.

Walk in with an honest face. Walk out

with a pocket full of dough.

I must have walked in with the wrong

face. Couple of days to check my

references. I haven't got any references

and I haven't got a couple of days.

Come on.

Heat.

Can I have it for a dollar down like it

says in the window?

>> As soon as we check up on your credit.

>> Credit? Yeah.

>> I can't wait that long.

>> Oh, wait a minute. Uh, you got a charge

account in town?

No, I

Yes. Yes, I have. At the hub. At the hub

where I buy my clothes.

>> I tell you what I'll do. I'll call the

credit manager and if he says you're

okay, you can take the watch right with

you. Okay. Ah, there. Let's get it on

and show you what it looks like.

>> How much could you let me have on this

ticker?

$30 do you any good?

>> $30 will be fine.

>> Any better than last week?

>> I don't know yet, Mr. Mackey. I'll let

you know.

>> Well, about that other matter. See if

you can't find a way to make it a

business deduction.

>> I'll think about it, Mr. Mack.

Hi, George.

>> Hi, Daniel.

You're uh here kind of early this week,

aren't you?

>> The old man sent for me. Had some tax

reports for me to get out.

>> Oh,

and I figured as long as I was here, I'd

get my Thursday work done. Why are you

working?

>> Say, Dan, I just checked the register

and it's $20 short.

>> Well, may maybe you could have made a

mistake or something.

>> No, I checked it twice.

Well, you know, sometimes the money gets

stuck in the money sack down there.

Yeah. Yeah. Here it is.

But I looked in the money sank. Just

didn't look good enough.

>> Can I do anything for you, sir?

>> You done, Brady?

>> Yeah.

>> I'm Morardi.

California Investigation Service.

>> You bought a watch yesterday at Jay's

Jewelers, didn't you?

>> Yeah. Yeah, I did.

>> And took it straight to Uncle John's and

hawked it.

>> Well, what if I did?

>> Don't play dumb. Why would you buy a

watch for $100 and hawk it the same day

for 30?

Who

>> will? Because you don't intend to pay

the hundred. That's why.

>> Oh, wait a minute. Don't holler before

you heard, pal. I I signed up to pay

that thing 10 bucks a month. When the

month's up, I'll pay him the 10 bucks.

>> Oh, no you won't. Because Jay Jewelers

don't think you're going to be here when

the month's up. They think you're going

to skip town. So, you'll pay up now or

Jay's going to swear out a warrant.

>> Warrant? Warrant for what?

>> I'll give it to you in words of one

syllable, my friend. When you buy

something on the installment plan, you

sign what they call a conditional sales

contract. Yeah. This contract says that

the watch, the radio, or the easy chair

don't belong to you until you make your

last payment. It says that if you sell,

mortgage, or hawk something you don't

own yet, you're guilty of lararseny. And

a $100 watch is grand lararseny.

That's three years in the penitentiary

in this state.

You're kidding me, aren't you?

>> Kidding me? Not in your life.

You signed a contract like this, didn't

you?

>> Yeah, I did.

>> Read what it says right there.

The debt is payable

>> within 24 hours. Our charges will be

brought.

Well,

>> look, I uh I can't get a hold of a

hundred bucks. I mean, just like that

right away.

>> Well, you better dig it up somewhere

>> because if you don't pay up by noon

tomorrow, a little man's going to call

on you with a big warrant.

That's all, brother. Until noon

tomorrow.

>> Hey, Chuck.

>> Yeah.

>> What does a guy do when he when he needs

lots of dough?

>> Me? I usually hawk my watch.

It's a great idea.

>> Maybe I can get some dough on my jalapy.

I wonder how much they'll give me for

it.

Uh, no dice. What good is 300 bucks? I

still owe the finance company 350.

By

half past 8, I'd tried everything I

could think of, and I still hadn't

raised $100. I hadn't raised a buck and

a quarter. So, I threw in the towel and

headed for Phil's place to knock off a

couple of beers.

The

>> longer I sat on that silly stool, the

more I felt like slugging somebody. I

got a socked old man Mackie for being so

tight. Or the guy in the jewelry store

for sending Mori Arti after me or the

fell standing next to me at the bar

because he had money in his pocket and I

didn't.

>> I'm sure you fil

shorty.

>> Okay. Hey, I got to get home before the

old lady chops my ears off.

>> Haven't you got something smaller? This

one's a 50.

>> How's this one?

>> That's another 50. Here, let me look.

There's a five right there on top.

>> Oh, this one.

>> Yeah. Just keep it safe. I got to get

home before the old lady slaps me down.

>> Who?

Your wife? Oh yeah. Yeah. The old lady.

Good night, Billy.

>> So long, shorty. How's a joker like that

rate all that?

>> Shorty, he runs a bingo games. And do

the suckers keep him happy? Another

beer, Danny?

>> No.

[music]

>> Hi, Romany. How is your house?

>> Okay.

Oh, you're a nice boy. Let me tell your

fortune. Huh? Maybe you got beat all

over you.

>> A Don't fall on your face. Joke. Tell

that alley any minute. But now I'm in

have enough left over to show Vera the

biggest time she ever had. Vera, I've

got a date with her tonight. I promised

to meet her at Nick's place.

>> It's 25 to 10.

half hour ago. I'm kind of late. I'm

sorry, kid. Can I Can I walk you to the

bus or something?

>> Well, you you don't have to, Dan. I can

>> You don't have to tell me anything. All

you have to do is to get that car down

here parked out in front before I get

down tomorrow.

What if I haven't got it? What if I

don't know where it is? But you did have

it and you do know where it is.

>> Well, I don't anymore.

If you can't return the car, you'll have

to pay for it. $3,000.

$3,000.

But I'd only list for $1950.

>> You don't think I'd sell to you at

least? $3,000? Where would a guy like me

get any dough like that?

>> Most everybody's got a family someplace.

What? folks would go to a lot of trouble

to keep a man out of jail.

>> Not mine.

>> Now look, I'll give you 24 hours, Brady.

I want the money or I want the

automobile. Now, let me give you some

warning. Don't you try to leave town.

$3,000. It might as well been 3 million.

I tried to remember who could have seen

me in the green sedan. Nobody' known I

had it except Nick. Nick? Maybe that was

who told the old man. Nick hated me.

He'd cut my throat for a nickel.

>> Hey,

what's the matter with you tonight?

Well, you look like you lost your last

friend.

>> How'd you like to go to Texas, honey?

Right now. right away.

>> Are you kidding?

>> I'm on the level.

>> Uh-huh.

What's the matter with California?

Weather getting too warm.

Tell you about it later.

>> So, I'm in a worse jam than ever. My

boss is going to throw me in the brrig

if I don't get a hold of 3,000 bucks. Or

else. Where am I going to get a hold of

3,000 bucks?

I know where there's three or $4,000.

>> Yeah. First National Bank.

>> No, not in any bank. But we can get at

it. We can get at it easy. All you have

to do is to break a little catch lock on

a rickety old door. You could pry it

open with your fingernails.

>> Not with my fingernails.

I'm in too deep already.

This is the end of the month. That's

where Nick keeps the money overnight.

>> Nick? You mean Nick at the penny arcade?

>> Uh-huh.

There'll be thousands of dollars there

tonight.

>> What would Nick be doing with that kind

of deal?

>> He charges people for cashing checks.

Today's a big payday. A lot of them will

bring their checks in in the morning

before the banks open.

And he doesn't even have a safe. He

hides it.

I know where.

>> It was Nick who got me into all this.

>> Let it get you out.

Then you won't have to go to Texas.

You can stay here with me.

>> Wait a minute. What's a man?

>> Someone watching us from the house.

It's only old Snoop.

>> Who?

>> The land lady. She's always looking for

trouble. You know, I had a news program

on the air the other night and she

busted in and tried to tell me I had a

man in my room.

>> She's still watching.

>> Well, let's give her something to watch.

Stay out here and look out for the

watchman. If I see him coming, I'll honk

the horn.

>> Blow it three times so I'll know it's

you.

>> All right, Danny.

Good luck.

Heat. Heat.

Heat.

[music]

>> [music]

>> Huh?

Let's get out of here quick.

Did you get the money?

>> Yeah,

>> I heard shooting. What happened?

>> The night watchman saw me.

>> Well, you took a big chance tonight and

you got away with it. You ought to be

tickled to death.

>> Well, I'm not. I feel like I'm being

shoved into a corner and if I don't get

out soon, it'll be too late. Maybe it's

too late already.

>> But you can stop worrying. You're out

right now. Now you got the money in your

pocket to pay your way out.

>> Yeah. Yeah, that's right. I've got the

money and that'll score everything on

it.

>> I wonder how much there is.

>> Feels like a lot.

>> Let's take it up to my room and count

it.

>> All right.

Pull down those shades.

500 in each of these packages. 2 3 4 5 6

7 That's $3,500.

20 40 60 80 90 100 110

That's $3610.

>> Yeah, it's a lot of dough.

>> That's more money than I could make in a

year working every day.

What's the coppers?

>> Just like I thought.

>> What's the big idea? Who said you can

come in?

>> I have rules in this house. This is a

clean, respectable place. Well, you got

no right in here now. Get out.

>> I don't allow no men in the rooms. Not

in my house. And I'm not leaving until

he goes.

>> You're leaving right now.

>> Maybe you'd rather I'd call the cops.

>> Why you old battle?

>> Get it out, will you? We don't want any

trouble, especially now.

>> Maybe I ought to go.

>> You think you can take care of

everything? All right.

>> Oh,

yeah. Sure, Danny. Don't worry.

I can take care of everything.

>> I'll call you in the morning.

>> I don't want any of your kind around

here. And when your rent's up, you can

move out. Scram.

>> Hello. Is Vera know back there?

>> Hey, you're going to wear that thing out

today.

>> Oh, this is her.

>> Why don't you forget about it? She just

will do me a favor and shut up, please.

>> Sorry. Oh, this is her day off. She

wouldn't be at the restaurant. Look,

when she comes in, would you tell her to

call Dan Brady at Mackie Motor? It's

very important. Soon as she comes in.

All right. Thank you.

>> Well, Brady,

>> well, I didn't see that green sedan when

I came down this morning.

>> No, you didn't. Did you?

>> Does that mean you can't get it back?

>> Did mean anything you wanted to me?

>> Well, then I assume you intend to pay

for the car instead.

>> Oh, do you?

>> How long will it take you to get the

money?

>> I've got it already. You have?

>> Yeah.

>> Fine. Why don't you come right into the

office now?

>> I haven't got it on me. I have to pick

it up tonight after work. I can bring it

in the morning.

>> Why wait till tomorrow? I'll come right

back after dinner tonight. You can see

me in the office then.

>> Well, it might be might be 10:00 or so.

>> It's all right, Brady. That's perfectly

all right. See you tonight.

>> More.

Hello, Verus. Where have you been?

Did you take care of everything? All

right.

Good. Well, that's swell, baby. Look,

I'll uh I'll be over and see you tonight

as soon as I get off work. Right after

6:00.

Goodbye.

That you, Danny?

>> Yeah.

>> Come right in.

Isn't it beautiful, Danny?

>> Oh, Danny. Danny, I might never have had

it if it hadn't been for you.

>> Where'd you get the coat?

>> I bought it.

>> Bought it with what? with my share of

the money.

Here's your end. $1,800.

>> You took half that door and bought a

coat with it.

>> Not just a coat, Danny. A mink coat.

>> You sold me out.

>> Oh, now just a minute. Who told you

where the money was? Who told you how to

get it? Isn't that worth half?

>> I can't use half. I need 3,000.

>> Oh, don't be a chump. Nobody expects to

get everything you asked for. Make him

an offer. That's what I did.

>> What you did?

>> Sure. This code cost $2,000. I told the

furry 1800 was all I had and he could

take it or leave it. He took it.

Offer this to the old man. Tell him it's

all you could raise. I bet anything he

takes it.

[music]

>> [music]

[music]

>> Well, Brady, I'm glad you're doing the

sensible thing.

There's only 1,800 here.

>> That's right.

>> Where's the rest of it?

>> I couldn't dig it up. Take it or leave

it.

>> I'll take it.

>> Operator,

>> get me the police station. What's the

idea?

>> I told you I'd forget about the whole

thing for $3,000, but not for $1,800.

Now, if you've got the rest of it on

you, you'd better pay me now before it's

too late. Why you stupid? [music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

Come on.

Yes.

>> [music]

[music]

[music]

>> Heat. Heat.

[music]

>> [music]

>> Dan. Hey, Danny. Boy. Hi, Chuck. Hi,

Alan.

>> Hey, Danny. I I missed your quitting

time tonight. I wanted to say goodbye.

>> Goodbye?

>> Yeah, I quit today. I'm through with

that screw ball. I told you what he

tried to pull on me, didn't I?

>> No, no, you didn't. Well, you remember

the night the sedan disappeared? Well,

the next morning he called me in his

office and tried to tell me I swiped it.

>> He said what? Like I'm telling you, he

said I stole the car. Gave me a lot of

hoie about somebody seeing me drive

away.

>> Wait a minute. I'm all mixed up. Let me

get this thing straight. He said that he

saw you drive that car away and that

ain't all. Yesterday he called me in his

office and he had some screwy idea. I

should get 3,000 bucks for my old man to

pay for the sedan. Now, how nuts can a

guy get?

>> He didn't know anything at I was just

fishing around, putting up pressure on

everybody, hoping something would turn

up.

>> Yeah, I should have let him have one

talking to me like that. Some of these

days that old man is going to get his

neck in a sling.

>> Neck in a sling.

Yeah. Yeah. He had it coming though,

didn't he? Always trying to outsmart

everybody, but he got too smart.

Yeah. He got so smart he got his neck in

a sling. [laughter]

>> Daddy. Daddy, what is it? What's the

matter? [laughter]

>> Uh,

I uh I have a date here. I'm I'm late

already.

>> Come in.

>> Well, how'd it go? Did he take the

money?

>> Yeah. Yeah, he took it.

>> I told you he would.

>> Pack your things. We got to get out of

here.

>> What are you talking about?

>> You tried to call the cops. I had to

stop him.

>> Stop him.

>> How?

>> Never mind. Pack your things.

>> Stop clowning, Danny. How?

>> I'm not clowning. He tried to call the

cops. I had to take the phone away from

him. He pulled a gun on me. I I

strangled him

>> on the level.

>> On the level. Look, they won't find them

till in the morning. By that time, we'll

be halfway to Texas, baby.

>> You'll be halfway to Texas, not me.

>> But the cops will be after us.

>> They won't be after me. I don't have to

run away.

>> Look, we're in this thing together. You

told me to offer him the dough. I didn't

tell you to kill him. And I wasn't there

when it happened. So why should I stick

my neck out now?

>> What kind of a dame are you?

>> The kind that watches out for herself.

>> If I didn't, who would?

>> Well, you don't care about anybody else,

do you?

>> Why, sure I do. Why? I wouldn't want to

see anything happen to you, Danny.

You certainly wouldn't want to see the

cops catch you. Don't you think you

better get started to Texas?

I'll uh I'll kiss you goodbye if you

want me to. I would dirty my lips.

>> One more flight.

Miss Novak, some gentlemen to see you.

>> You Novak.

>> So what if I am?

>> Got something for you.

>> Yeah. What is it?

>> A search warrant.

>> See what she's got in her purse, Smitty.

Right.

You won't find him in there.

>> I won't find who in there.

>> You know who. Dan Brady.

>> Oh, yeah. Dan Brady. Where will I find

him?

>> He's getting out of the state as fast as

he can drive.

>> Why aren't you getting out, too?

>> I didn't have any part of it. I didn't

even know him.

>> Didn't know who.

>> Say, are you trying to make me look like

a fool? Mackey. Of course.

>> Mackey. Which Mackey is that?

>> Oh, the one that ran the automobile

agency.

>> Ran.

>> Well, he can't keep on running it now

that he's dead, can he?

>> Dead? Who's dead? Mackey. Of course.

Brady killed him. The girl didn't have

any part of it. Where did it happen?

>> You know where? At the order.

Say,

are you trying to kid me?

>> Sure.

Maybe it's the other way around. Maybe

you're trying to kid me. Why did you

start spilling the minute I came in the

door? Maybe it's because you wanted me

to think your boyfriend had gone when he

hadn't.

How do I know he isn't still here?

>> Why didn't you look under the couch?

>> I don't suppose he'd be that near.

[laughter]

>> I didn't think he'd be that close.

Smitty,

watch it.

Ha.

Ha.

Where does a dame like you get a coat

like this?

>> I bought that coat with my own money.

You take your dirty hands off it.

>> I'll bet you did.

>> I can prove it. I I got a receipt

here. Here.

Alaska furio is 917 Main Street received

a Veronovic $1,800.

Well, looks like Nick had the right

hunch, Schmidt.

>> Nick,

>> what do you suppose brought us here?

Last night, somebody stole $3,600 of

Nick's money, and today you paid $1,800

for a fur coat. Looks like you and your

boyfriend split Nick's bankroll right

down the middle.

>> I don't know what you're talking about.

Give me back my coat.

>> Don't worry about your coat, sister.

We'll take it right with us. Bring her

along, Smitty, and we'll check on

Mackie, on the way down to the station.

So you're right, your husband.

[music]

What are you doing here?

>> I could see you were in trouble, so I

got rid of Chuck and came down.

>> Get yourself right back home. I got to

get out of here quick.

>> What is it, D? Was it the hole up in the

auto mall?

>> What do you know about that hole?

>> I saw you hiding in the alley that

night. The night that Millie and I

walked by, I couldn't see your features,

but I knew that it was you. But then I

thought maybe I was imagining things.

You know how it is when you love

someone. You You think you see them 50

times a day. But a minute later, you

called my name and I turned around and

there you were at the head of the alley.

Then we heard about the hold up in the

auto park and I and I saw the look on

your face.

>> Is that all?

>> That's all.

>> Well, why don't you get out? Let me get

started.

>> I saw the police come out of the house

with her. Are they after you two?

>> What if they are? What businesses are

yours?

>> But I can help you. I can tell them you

were with me all evening and you'll have

an alibi.

>> I don't get it. Why do you want to help

me? When things were going my way, all I

ever gave you was a runaround. Now that

I'm in a jam, why don't you get smart

and stay away from me? I've been away

from you too long and it isn't any good.

Don't you think I know I'm dumb to throw

myself at a guy that doesn't want me?

Don't you think I know I'm a fool to

stand on a street corner for an hour

just waiting for you to come out of a

door? I know all that, but I can't help

it. I fell in love with you the first

time I saw you, Ted.

I'll drive you home.

>> It's less than a week since Helen waited

for me outside the garage. Have you been

dancing lately? She said, and all I had

to do was say, well, idea. Let's go out

tonight. If id have said that, I

wouldn't be running away from the cops

tonight with a murder hanging over my

head.

>> No, Dan. No.

>> Hey, buddy. Pull over to the curb.

Let's take a look at your driver's

license.

>> Brady,

that's your name?

>> Yes, sir.

>> You went through a boulevard stop back

there.

>> Will you sign this?

>> Yes.

and take it easy.

>> Yeah.

>> Telling you, you kept me from making an

awful mistake. Well,

>> if you'll only take me with you, I can

help you. I know I can.

>> Let me lay it on the line. I'm going to

have to keep running. I'm going to have

to keep running all my life because when

they catch up with me, they're going to

hang me.

>> Hang you

>> for murder. I

I killed a man tonight.

Start the continent, then tell me how it

happened.

>> Telling her about it wasn't as hard as I

thought it'd be. And it was Helen who

came up with the idea of Mexico. We

decided to head for an inland town like

Hermaceio, where not many tourists come.

A man could be safe for 50 years in a

place like that.

>> What's that?

>> That's goodbye to Mexico.

Oh, it's the main bearing. It'll take a

couple of days of fix.

>> Well, then we'll have to hitchhike

>> and get there by morning. We'd never

make it.

>> We have to make it.

>> Oh, Helen. I've had the right girl all

the time and was too dumb to know about

it. If we ever get out of this thing,

>> we're going to get out of it.

>> Yeah, but how?

I've got an idea. This is the baby.

That's going to get us there.

>> What are you going to do with that?

>> Get us a lift, honey. I'll lift straight

through to Mexico. Come on. Careful.

[music]

[music]

Get in quick. Don't try any funny stuff.

I don't want to hurt you. All right.

When the signal changes, get going. Turn

south on the highway. Keep her under 50

and don't go through any red lights. You

understand me?

[music]

>> May I ask where we're going?

>> Just keep driving. You'll find out.

I suppose you know what you're getting

into. This isn't a car theft. It's

kidnapping.

>> Don't want to ask you. I don't want your

advice. You hear me?

>> Well, I happen to be a lawyer. Maybe.

>> Maybe you can keep your mouth shut, too.

>> No, Dan. Let him talk. He might be able

to help us.

>> She's right. Whatever it is you're

running away from, this is worse.

Kidnapping is a capital offense. They

can hang you for it.

>> What's the difference? They're

going to hang me anyway.

I just killed a man.

>> How about the girl?

>> You leave her out of it. She had nothing

to do with you. Understand me?

>> I believe that. But were the police?

Look, son, I can see this girl means

something to you. Why don't you tell me

what happened? For her sake, she'll need

a lawyer sooner or later.

Maybe you're right.

If you're sure, you could keep her in

the clear.

>> If she's innocent, you tell me the whole

story and it's the truth.

The

>> truth?

I don't know where to begin.

>> Start at the beginning.

>> The guy was a lawyer and maybe you could

help Helen. So, I told him the whole

story. Yet I told him about sticking up

shorty in the auto park and about

breaking into the penny arcade in the

middle of the night. I told him about

Beer and Nick and old man Mackey. I told

him everything that had happened from

the very beginning to the end.

>> I see. Now the first thing you want to

know is where the girl stands.

>> That's right.

>> She's in the clear. They can't touch

her. Well,

>> but how about Dan? You said maybe it

wouldn't be murder. It might be

manslaughter.

>> Oh, it's murder. All right.

I might be able to get him off with

second degree. They'd have a hard time

proving premeditation.

>> Second degree? That that would mean

life, wouldn't it?

>> It It could.

>> I'd rather they hung me.

>> There's one discrepancy in your story.

It's worth checking up on because if we

get the right answer, murder's out.

Manslaughter, too.

>> What? Whoa. What do you mean?

>> How do you know he's dead?

>> Well, he's he's dead. That's all. His

head fell over on the desk like he was

dead.

>> It would do that if he were unconscious.

Did you feel his pulse or listen for a

heartbeat?

>> No, I No, I didn't.

>> Men don't die easily. They take a lot of

killing.

I can imagine Mackey sitting in a police

station right now telling the desk man

what a narrow escape he had.

>> If he only was alive, Helen, if he only

was alive, I I'd give myself up to the

first cop that came along.

He's an all night restaurant. Why don't

I use their phone? Find out how Mackey

is.

>> Why don't you keep on driving too? I'll

tell you how Mackie is. He's dead.

That's what he's dead.

>> Oh, but Dan, maybe he isn't.

>> No, he is. I know he is. Listen to you.

I didn't want to kill anybody. I don't

want to kill you now, but if you try any

more funny stuff, I'll I'll blow a hole

right through you. What day is this,

Helen?

>> It's Saturday.

>> No, it isn't. It's Sunday morning. We

still have a couple hours before

daylight. We can still make it. Turn

this car around.

[music]

[music]

>> Where are we going now?

>> Remember Buzz Larson?

>> Yeah.

>> He's taking a fishing party way down

past San Diego this morning. If we can

get to the pier in time, I can go with

him.

>> To Mexico?

>> Way past the Mexican border. Step on it,

will you?

>> [music]

[music]

>> Hope the boat is still here.

Yeah. Yeah, there it is. Down there. We

made it. [music]

>> We better hurry.

>> I'd better hurry, not you.

>> Oh, I'm going with you, Dan. I

>> There's no harbor below San Diego. I'll

have to swim in from the sea.

>> I'm going with you, Dan. You've taken

too many chances already. I've got to go

on by myself from here on. I'll send for

you as soon as I get a job. You know

that, don't you, baby?

>> Oh, yes, but Oh, Dan, don't go. I'm so

afraid.

>> There's nothing to be afraid of. But

hey, wait a minute. Maybe there is. How

are we going to keep this guy from going

to the cops till after the boat pulls

out of the harbor?

>> I'll keep him away. Give me the gun.

>> I wouldn't do that if I were you.

>> Why not?

>> I told you the girl was in the clear.

She won't be if she takes that gun.

After that, she'll be an accessory.

>> Oh, don't listen to him, Dan. You got to

get away.

>> No, he's right. You've got to be kept

out of this. That's all that's

important. Now,

>> would you take my word for something?

>> I might.

>> As a citizen, I have to notify the

police. But as a friend, I don't have to

hurry.

>> Thanks.

>> Would you do me another favor?

>> If I can.

>> Don't wait until the boat pulls out of

the harbor. Leave now.

>> I'll get her out of here right away.

>> Thanks.

And you haven't seen Brady since noon

Monday?

>> No, I haven't.

>> And you haven't heard from him either?

>> Nope.

>> Wait a minute. I just remembered he

phoned me Monday afternoon

>> for any particular reason? Yeah, I owed

him 20 bucks. He said he needed it.

>> There's a news broadcast at 6:00. I want

to hear it before I talk with his heart

>> regarding every airport, every bus

depot, and every railroad station in a

determined effort to prevent the

killer's escape. At 4:00 this morning,

officers threw roadblocks across both

state highways and are now stopping all

outbound cars, but at last reports

McDonald was still at large.

>> McDonald.

>> Meanwhile, police officers Truckton and

Chandler are dead, and Deputy Sheriff

Alan P. Janice was taken to the

emergency hospital with two bullets in

his thigh.

>> I'd get it a little louder.

>> Closer to home, Beach City authorities

are seeking garage mechanic Daniel

Brady, 26, an employee of the Mackie

Motor Company. Late yesterday evening,

Watchman Michael J. O'Brien while making

his regular nightly rounds, discovered

the unconscious body of Orin Mackey,

president of the automobile agency lying

in his office. Mackey regained

consciousness at St. Mark's Hospital

shortly after midnight and named Brady

as his asalent.

>> He's alive.

Tommy, you want to watch yourself before

we run into that kid? Dangerous.

>> What's dangerous about him? He's got

Macky's gun.

>> Hey, Buzz. Buzz, wait a minute. I'm

coming. Hey, who's that fell there? That

might be our boy. Let's take a look at

him.

>> [music]

>> Stop. [music]

Hey Brady, [music] what'd you do?

Wait a minute. Wait a minute. [music]

[music]

[music]

>> [music]

[music]

[music]

>> Watch yourself. He's shooting. I'll go

after him. Bring on top.

[music]

>> [music]

[music]

>> I heard [music] shooting.

>> [music]

>> Did you see him? No, he didn't come

through here.

Look. What's that?

>> I'm coming, Dan. It's all right. You

didn't kill him, Dan.

>> Hey, what's going on? What happened?

Cops. They shot a cop. I heard him on

the radio. What about who? Who?

>> Oh, the guy that killed a couple of

cops.

>> McDonald.

>> I don't know. They shot somebody.

>> Yeah, here he is. McDonald.

>> I'm out. Stand back, folks. Give him

room.

>> There's a guy to get down right there.

>> Now, where'd you say your automobile

was?

>> On the pier right over there.

>> Fine. We'll put him in the car and I'll

drive him straight to the hospital if

that's all right with you.

>> Certainly. save much time instead of

waiting for the ambulance. I wouldn't

have shot you. I thought you had a gun.

What'd you do with it?

>> I dropped it.

>> What do you think they're going to give

me?

>> Have you ever been in trouble before?

>> No. No one.

>> Well, I think we can rule out the watch

and the $20 bill. [music] They probably

charge you with the holdup, stealing the

car, and breaking you to the penny

arcade. [music] That could add up to

anything from 1 to 10 years. But since

you're a first offender, my guess is

that it'll be nearer 1 than 10. Whatever

it is, I'll take it.

>> Whenever it is, I'll be [music] waiting

for you, Dan, if you want me to.

>> You're a great girl, Helen.

>> I love you, Dan.

>> That goes both ways.

>> For a 100red years, all Europe listened

with fascination to the spellbinding

legends of a fabulous treasure. It was

kept in this castle in France well

guarded and through the years few were

the eyes that gazed upon the many

diamonds, [music] pearls, emeralds,

sapphires and rubies. Yes, jewels which

had been the pride and price of queens

red with blood. [music] For the history

of every costly great stone is a story

of violence and death and mystery. And

the strangest of mysteries is about the

population 785,000.

A major Pacific coast seap port, [music]

But it's not a city to be explained in

For I have walked its [music] streets

heard strange stories. And [music] the

and take it with me the next time I ship

out.

>> It's been 2 years since I've smelled

that.

>> Well, I haven't missed it. Maybe my nose

is a bit more particular.

Well, what's it going to be, Mr. Dandis?

The girls. Gay times.

>> Maybe a little bit of both. But first,

I'm going to see my old friends at

Tarellis.

>> Oh, that the Italian family you grew up

with?

>> Yep. Only family I've ever known.

>> Well, I'm on my way. I go look in on the

themselves as nurses. My nurses, you

see, I escaped from from Nara.

>> Nutouse.

>> Well, they call it the sanitarium.

[music]

My name is Jean Turner.

>> Hi, Jean. I'm Danny's. Edmund Daddy's.

Tell me, [music] how did you escape and

why?

>> The name Jean Turner doesn't mean much

to you, does it?

>> No.

Just a pretty name for a pretty girl,

that's all.

>> Then you've never heard [music] of me?

Attorney utilities.

>> Oh, no. Not the billion dollar baby.

>> That's me.

>> Thing makes less sense than ever. What

were you doing in a [music] sanitarium?

>> My father died and left a lot of money.

And there's some people that want to

make sure that I don't get it.

>> Okay, sounds stupid. I still don't get

it. [music]

Well, the turner estate is a trust. It

reverts to me when I marry or when I'm

25. Whichever is first. I'm still single

and I'll be 25 in less than 3 months.

>> Well, some guy's going to make himself a

flock of dough and going to get a very

beautiful babe when I marries you.

>> She might also be a dead babe.

>> If I die, the entire estate becomes a

charitable foundation under the absolute

control of my guardian. Oh, I get it at

last. I mean, your guardian wouldn't

mind knocking you off for all they do,

huh?

>> Exactly. That's why they [music] put me

in this so-called sanitarium for my

nerves. They claimed I suffered from

delusions [music] of persecution.

It's been a slow process. They would

have gotten me out of the way before

>> Yeah, for a minute.

You can't keep on running.

See, you're lucky if you are going to

give out. Listen, sister. There's only

one sensible thing to do, and that's go

to the cops.

>> Going to the police will only open that

asylum door again.

>> We can explain. Any court in the world

will listen. They can't get away with

anything like that.

>> My guardian has connections. He'll swear

and he'll have witnesses to back him up

that I'm a mental incompetent, a victim

of delusions.

>> What happened tonight is no delusion.

I'll sweat to that.

>> Would you be dressed aside and if you

became too insistent,

I don't stand a chance.

>> Well, there's something we can do.

Somebody will listen.

>> It's crazy, but it might work. It's a

chance,

and I'm desperate enough to crutch at

anything.

>> My father's will gives me the money when

I'm 25 or married. 11:30 bus now leaving

for Sacramento, Reno, Salt Lake, and all

your tickets ready.

>> Will you marry me?

Please listen before saying anything. I

don't mean a real marriage. That is,

well, is a real husband and wife, but a

name only.

>> Listen, honey. A gal like you doesn't

have to go around asking a guy like me

to marry her.

>> Oh, I know it sounds crazy, but it's my

one chance to slip from my guardian's

control.

>> Well, suppose I did. They still want to

murder you.

>> No, don't you see? It would get them

nothing. The entire estate would go to

my husband. It would be taken from their

hands.

>> Look, honey, you don't know a thing

about me. I'm a second maid on a

freighter. You don't want me to marry

you?

>> Oh, it doesn't matter. The marriage

would only be for 3 months and then I'll

be safe. Peace of mind can't be counted

in money.

>> I'll pay you $10,000 if you're

>> 10,000.

>> Oh, if that's not enough, whatever you

want.

>> Look, sister, I've never considered

marriage as a matter of money. It's not

something you buy or sell. It's

something serious.

>> Don't you see? This is different. A

technicality, a legal fiction

>> for you, maybe. But I never looked at it

that way. Legal fiction, eh? Well, it's

an easy way to look at it. But I never

considered it that casual.

>> If it was that, I wouldn't be asking it.

Will you give me two to Reno, please?

>> Yes, sir.

>> Can we catch this bus?

>> Yes, sir. Right through there.

Well, come on. Let's dive in. No use

Here's to the all expense special to

bride technically.

Hey, wait a minute. What is this? It's a

beautiful day, a wonderful honeymoon, a

gorgeous bride, handsome husband.

There's nothing to cry about.

Now, tough that. Do you want to wreck

this nice new neglige that's been

included in the all expense special to

looks wedding number seven for a slight

extra charge?

>> It was wrong of me. I shouldn't have

asked you.

>> Will you please wipe those eyes?

Honeymoon is not a place for tears.

>> But you don't know what it may mean for

you. What I

>> I do. Stopless the ruin of my life.

We'll probably only live to be a hundred

What a time. The crimes against humanity

committed in the name of service.

Wow. Oh, special honeymoon breakfast. No

extra charge on our all expense special

deluxe wedding number seven. The orange

blossom for my own idea.

>> Jeez. Thanks.

Wow.

Damn that poor. How do you like your

toast? Better to just throw them at you.

Eddie,

the phone.

>> That's your thing.

>> Yes.

All right.

>> Don't tell me that's more of good old

number seven.

>> No, wrong number.

>> Oh.

>> Oh, no cigarettes.

>> No, no cigarettes. Not even packed

tobacco.

>> Eddie, would you mind going down to the

lobby and get me a pack? Are

>> you kidding? I'll call room service.

>> No, don't bother them and it'll give me

a chance to dress.

>> Oh,

all right.

>> Like,

>> yes.

>> I'll give you exactly 20 minutes. Eddie,

>> what?

>> Don't

>> Don't What?

>> I'll feel more comfortable if you carry

this. You shouldn't walk around

unprotected.

>> What about this now?

>> Please.

All right.

>> Oh, honey.

I've been a lot of places. Shanghai,

London, Paris. I've seen a lot and done

a lot, but I don't know anything that

means that man.

>> Please, what were we going to say?

>> Nothing. Except wish you didn't have so

much money.

>> Darling, it's not my fault. Can't you

forget it? At least just for a little

while.

>> I'll try.

I better get those cigarettes.

Okay, honey.

[music]

[music]

>> So that's the story. I told you all I

can say,

>> but not all you know.

>> All I know, all I could say, all there

is to it.

This is the automatic you were carrying.

And this is the bullet that killed him.

It's the same caliber as your gun.

>> But I never used the gun.

>> I know. You were waiting for a street

car in that attic with an empty chamber

in your gun.

>> I told you the shot came from the back

of them.

>> And it was just an accident that this

ejected cartridge was found on the floor

right where you were crouching.

>> I don't know anything about it. The

place was full of junk. According to the

police laboratory reports, this

particular piece of junk under the

microscope shows it was fired by your a

gun.

>> I don't know anything about a gun. I

told you why I went there.

Patties,

you don't look like a crook and you have

no record. I want to help you. I want to

give you a break. But you've got to help

me.

>> You go before a jury with this bedtime

story you've been telling me.

>> Story I told you every word is the

truth.

>> You're a sensible man, Dante. Now, let's

forget the alibis and stop kidding.

We've got you dead to rights. Put it up

to a jury and you'll go to a gas

chamber.

>> But you tell me a straight story and

I'll go to the DA myself. I'll promise

you he'll go easy on you. Thanks. Uh,

get off with life. Is that it?

>> Now you're being practical.

>> Good behavior and parole. Six, 7 years.

Now, let's start at the beginning and

and give it to me straight.

>> I don't know anything about a gun. I

didn't kill a man. I went there to find

my wife. I know. I know.

I know it all by heart.

Maybe you're nuts. Perhaps the police

secretist will say we're nuts, too, for

not believing you are. Why else would

any guy in his right mind keep repeating

such a senseless story? We've told you

it's a respectable boarding house, not a

sanitarium, and certainly not an asylum.

And the man you killed,

>> I didn't.

>> The man you killed was not a kidnapping

hoodlm. He was a respectable,

hardworking businessman named Matthew

Benson, employed steadily for the last

12 years by the Apex Warehouse and

Storage Company, one of the city's

oldest. What?

>> Why don't you do what I've been asking

you?

Hello. Yes.

>> Oh,

fine. Fine. In a minute.

What were we saying?

>> Find my wife.

>> And what good would that do you?

>> She'll prove to you that everything I've

been trying to tell you is the truth.

>> Your wife would You're speaking of Jean

Turner of the Arabs, of course.

>> Yes. Yes. But you get it through your

head. She's in danger.

>> I wouldn't worry about her if I were

you.

>> Okay, fine. Go ahead. Take it out on me

because I'm here on suspicion of murder.

What kind of police are you not to try

to investigate when the safety of a

completely innocent person's at stake?

>> Meaning your wife?

>> Yes. Meaning my wife? She needs help.

She needs it right away.

>> Well, supposing we ask her.

>> Excuse me, Miss Tunner.

>> Miss Tunner, do you know this man? Never

saw him before.

>> That's not Jean Turner. For

>> your information, Danties, this is Miss

Gene Turner of the Tunner Utility

Family. And her father is not dead, and

she has no guardian. And she's never

been kidnapped. And she's certainly not

married to you.

>> Most assuredly not.

>> And she believes you're just as big a

liar as we do.

>> Thank you, Miss Turner. We appreciate

you coming down here to clear up this

little matter. Please, Carl, I'll take

you anywhere you want to go.

>> My car's downstairs. Thank you. Good

day.

>> Good day.

Well, look, I've been telling you the

truth all along. Please find my wife.

She'll explain everything.

>> You heard that girl. Deny you to your

face.

>> She's not Jean Turner.

>> You have your rights, Stanties. And as a

cop, I'll respect them. But I'm not

saying what I won't do as a man if you

keep handing me that blney.

[clears throat]

Come in.

>> Took you long enough. Well, I had to

wait till business slacked up down at

the counter. One guy took an hour to

finish. I couldn't pull a plate away

from him, especially when he had a badge

under it. I

>> Yeah. Well, here's your cream.

>> Hey, could you use a good mouthpiece?

I know. Just a guy. I'd let him handle

my own mother on a murder app. How about

it? Huh?

>> Okay. Just remember, keep your traps

shut and don't let these flat feet pin

nothing on you. Yeah. Sh. Nothing. Okay.

I'll I'll be back for the empties later.

Huh?

>> All right.

>> Yes.

>> Norris is here. He's got the girl. She

admits she's Jean Turner.

>> Send them in. Good. I'm so glad you

are you Jean Turner.

>> Yes.

>> Where did you pick her up?

>> Empire Hotel on Sutter Street. That's

her name. All right. I also checked with

the Reno police on the address that she

had put on the marriage license and that

much of this guy's story checks. Anyway,

>> you believe me? Quiet. Sit down.

>> Did you marry this man in Reno?

>> Yes.

>> Did you tell him you were the Turner

Aerys?

>> Aris?

I'm a stenographer. Where do you work?

>> In a lawyer's office, 153 Market Street.

>> But Jean, you don't understand. I'll do

the talking. Do you happen to have a

guardian?

>> What would I have a guardian for?

>> Oh, don't ask me. Not my idea.

The three men tried to kidnap you.

>> Kidnap me? Is this some kind of a joke?

>> Then this night didn't gallop up and try

to save you from three thugs.

How did you meet?

Well, he uh just picked me up, I guess.

His ship came in. We had a few drinks,

maybe a few too many, and then we

decided to get married.

>> Go on.

>> We took a bus to Reno. I was sobered up

by morning and realized what a fool I'd

been marrying a man I hardly knew on a

drunken impulse. So, I walked out on

him. That's all I know up to the time

this detective of yours brought me down

here.

>> You're lying to him. Give me a lie.

You've had your chance to talk. From now

on, I'll carry on this conversation.

>> Did you ever own a gun?

>> A gun?

>> This one?

>> No, I have never own one.

>> Did you ever stay? No, or visit anyone

at 2015 Franklin Street.

>> What's he done? What's happened?

>> That's all. You may go.

>> You're not going to believe that shut

up. Well, just a minute. One more thing.

Let me see your lipstick.

You always use this shade?

>> Yes.

>> It's a little off my beat. Seems almost

orange. Strictly for blondes.

>> Yes. It's called summer blossom.

>> I'm afraid I'll have to keep this. Might

have to use it as an exhibit. You know,

we've wound up executing men for just

one little slip like this.

>> Executing.

>> Don't answer any questions. I'll do the

talking. Inspector, I object to this

thirdderee method used on my client. I

object to intimidation and I object to

his rights being abused.

>> You can stop objecting. I think the

murder app will hold.

>> Murder? Is that the charge against him?

>> In addition to a few odds and ends, like

forcible entry, burglary, and such, but

murder is the main one.

>> Persecution of my clan on a mere

unfounded suspicion is a violation of

his constitutional rights. And I shall

demand an immediate investigation.

>> Turn off the pornograph. Take the

prisoner to his cell. Come along. But

inspector, can I do anything?

>> No, you may go. Just keep yourself

available.

>> But I

>> You heard the inspector.

Probably done enough to my client

anyway.

visitors. [music]

Sandy,

heavy. Come on. Those the people locker

you up before we get chance to see you.

>> Yeah. You giving us spaghetti and wine?

>> Wait till mama hears about this. She'll

kill him.

>> Two years we know see you. Then we come

back from triple cash at the fish and

the donies are reading the news that you

the one that pays you the trouble. Well,

you know tell us for yourself.

>> What's the idea?

>> Wait a minute. There's no use getting

your friends mixed up in a mess like

this. Hey, you want me give you one big

smack for say that? That's what the

friends are for. See, I say to boys, we

go right down to police station. We make

those cops to let you go. A police.

>> Quiet there. Where do you think you are?

>> You you you you flat the beach.

>> You want to put us all in jail? How are

we going to help anybody?

>> Flapping on the beach.

>> Papa, please. No polari. We told him not

to come with us. He gets too excited.

>> See boys say they no want to be come and

see you. Say I'm too old for go running

around. Me too old. I go for the fish

six weeks of one time in all kinds of

weather. They go for the fish three

days. Maybe get a little bit wet and

they think they got it wrong. That's

right, Papa. They don't make real men

anymore.

What the for you go killing this guy?

Huh?

Over movement.

I think I understand. Over money. That's

so bad.

>> Wife's outside to see you, Eddie.

>> Hey, what's the piece of business about

the wife?

>> I'll tell you about it later, Papa.

>> She can't come in until this gang

leaves.

>> All right. Thanks. Thanks.

>> We'll be back to see you tomorrow,

Eddie. And don't forget, if there's

anything you want, just let us know.

>> Thanks. Come on, Papa. Papa.

Hello, Eddie. How do you feel?

>> Okay. Where is she?

>> Who?

>> My wife. The jailer says she's waiting.

>> Is that so? Wonder what she's up to now.

>> Get her in here. Once we ring the truth

out of her, we're okay.

>> Look, I don't think we better. It'd be

smart if I talk to her first. You know,

sort of sound her out.

>> Sound her out? What floor? She's the

answer to my whole problem. Get her in

here.

>> Look, you don't seem to realize she's

not on your side, Eddie. She's

responsible for you being in here. She's

not to be trusted.

>> Trusted? Who wants to trust her? I want

to get face to face with her.

>> Now, wait a minute. I happen to be your

attorney, and I'm going to handle this

case my way. If we're going to get an

acquid, you can't seem to get her

through your head. She lied to the

police, you and everybody else. There's

no reason for her to suddenly make a

change. Now,

>> if you talk to her, you could ring the

truth out of her.

>> All right, I'll talk to her right away.

>> Sure.

>> She's the key to the whole situation.

Use her when she gets on the stand.

Look, our one chance in this case is

they can't force a wife to testify

against her husband. Now, unless she

tells us the whole truth, the smartest

thing we can do is keep her out of that

courtroom.

>> If she doesn't tell you the truth, let

me get my hands on her. I'll make her

talk.

>> Now, relax. Take it easy. Let me handle

this my way.

See you tomorrow, Eddie.

>> Right. Don't forget,

>> Jr.

Come

on.

Woohoo.

>> [music]

[music]

>> What are you doing here?

>> I'll ask the questions. Why'd you go see

Danty's? Tell him the truth, maybe.

>> What do you mean?

>> Real innocent, aren't you?

Embrace your memory any.

>> I don't want to be part of this.

>> You haven't got much choice. You're a

pretty girl. [music] Very pretty. It's a

shame you're not as smart.

>> You can't tell me what to do.

>> I am.

I got enough on you to put you in cold

storage for a long time. You want to

stay pretty?

>> Keep away from Donny's and stay out of

this case.

>> I didn't bargain for murder.

>> I'm not bargaining. I'm telling [music]

you. Play with dynamite and it's liable

to go off in your pretty face.

We understand one another now.

Night.

[music]

[music]

>> [music]

[music]

>> As the state medical examiner, how would

you say the murdered man came to his

death?

>> By a bullet fired from close quarters

which entered his right side and passed

through the body. In your opinion,

doctor, could the bullet have entered

the body from a position in front or

from a position behind?

>> Well, that would depend. Had he been

standing with his left side inclined

towards the defendant, then one could

say that it had been fired from in

front. But if with his right side, then

equally well, it might have been fired

from behind.

>> Thank you, sir. I have no further

questions. You're witness. No questions.

Papa, give him the letters.

>> Please give the piece of letters to my

boy.

>> Have you seen this gun before?

>> Yes. How can you identify that

particular gun?

>> By the serial number A 45692.

How can you be so positive as to that

serial number? Because according to law,

I enter the number of all the guns

bought and sold in my pawn shop in this

ledger.

Uh here's the entry. Colt 25 caliber

automatic,

serial number A45692.

And according to your records,

who bought this gun and when?

>> E. Danty's May 14th, 1949,

8:55 p.m.

>> The same date on which Edmund Danty's

ship, the Pacific Queen, arrived in San

Francisco.

Now sir, look carefully at the

defendant.

Can you identify the defendant, Edmund

Dantes, as the one who bought the murder

weapon from you on that night?

I didn't see his face too well.

>> Look at him closely, Mr. Johnson. Is he

the man?

It could be. Same size, same build, but

I'm not positive. I can't swear it was

him.

And I can't swear it wasn't. That is

all. Thank you. You're witness.

>> No questions.

>> I was never in that shop in my life. Why

don't you do something?

>> Look, that's bad tactics. There's plenty

of tricks in this profession. I'll pull

them at the right time. Take it easy.

Let me handle this.

And did any strangers either enter or

leave the hotel at or about the time

previously indicated in the record?

>> No.

>> And did anyone either precede or follow

them through the lobby?

>> Nope.

>> Thank you. No further questions. No

cross-examination.

You positively remember the defendant

having visited the nightclub the evening

in question?

>> Yes, sir.

>> And what makes you so positive?

>> Well, he left without paying and I got

stuck for the check.

>> Did you see any person or persons

searching the nightclub as alleged by

the defendant?

>> No, sir. Did it look to you in any way

that the defendant and his companion

were being pursued?

>> No, sir.

>> That is all. No further questions. Your

witness.

>> No cross examination.

You are in charge of the ballistic

section of the police department.

>> Yes, sir.

>> Have you in the course of your duty had

occasion to examine the exhibits which

have been marked as exhibit A and

exhibit B? Yes, sir.

>> Can you state if the cartridge found at

the scene of the crime was fired by the

defendant's gun?

>> Positively. On that table are the

enlargements of the cartridge. The

markings correspond exactly with the

markings on the weapon in question.

>> And can you identify the bullet which

was taken from the body of the deceased?

>> The bullet was embedded in the wall. So,

the markings are blurred, but it

definitely was a bullet from an

automatic of that caliber.

>> Thank you, sir. No further questions.

Your witness. No questions.

>> Mail for you, Danny's. All right.

The lawyer's here.

Hello, Eddie. Got good news for you.

Just had the judge sign the order for

your appeal. You know, just between you

and me, I know the right people.

>> Yeah. Why didn't you use them? I told

you my wife was the answer to this whole

mystery. Why didn't you put her on the

stand?

>> Look, Eddie, you don't seem to

understand how that have been for you.

>> Been for me.

What do you think the situation is? I've

been condemned to death in the gas

chamber. There's only one of us seems to

realize that.

>> Take it easy. Hey, don't get excited.

You'll look at things in a different

light tomorrow. Look, we're not licked

yet.

>> Yeah,

I'm not licked yet.

>> Thanks for nothing, Jackson. You've been

a great help,

Jenna.

Jailer,

>> Will you please call these people for

me? Tell them it's very important.

They're going to see them.

>> All right. Thanks.

The account numbers made out to Edmund

Danty's Marseilles, France. If you got

that, we have much time. The date is

August 7th, 1915.

>> But you wasn't even a born then. I know.

Papa, think hard. What can you remember

about Eddie's folks? His father.

I tell a story to Eddie when he's a

little fella. It's the just like now.

Eddie's a papa was a French soldier who

got a kill early in the World War I.

Then Eddie's the grandpappa. Send Eddie

and Eddie's a mama here to Santa

Francisco. So they know she'd get

hurted. Then the grand papa he's a come

along a little later on but he's a die

when the heart gives the attack two days

after arrive. Eddie's a mama was a fine

woman but does she know have the money

and she know can get a helper from

France because of the war. Eddie's a

mama very sad when she loses her husband

in the battle. She

she no seem to want to live. Then the

flu sickness come. Oh, she very sick.

Much a fever. Cry out all the time.

Eddie, I have a great name. See, all the

time she say the fever, Eddie, I have a

great name. But I think it's a fever

talking. I don't pay much attention.

Then

then she died.

So I look after the little ofino and I

bring up just like a one son from me. He

grow up a fine man. That that's all I

know.

>> That's about the way I remember you

telling it. Doesn't help to figure this

one out, does it? No. The town numbers

Edmund Dante Marseilles France, but

Marseilles is one of the few parts I've

never touched. I can't figure it out.

Look, this is what I want you to do.

Can you see that postm?

>> Yeah.

>> Evidently, this guy, Mason, mailed it

weeks before I hit port. Look him up.

Find out what all this means.

>> You've been in all the newspapers. You

should have read about you. Why didn't

he do something?

>> I don't know. There's a lot of things

about this case I don't know. But this

is the only smell of a clue I've had.

>> Try to get some answers for you if we

can.

>> Good. Hurry up. I haven't much time.

They're going to ship me across the bay

in the morning.

>> Mama Mia, son,

can't your lawyer do something? From now

on, I'm doing everything myself.

>> You boys better do a good job now or I

beat the devil out of you.

>> Okay, papa. So long. So long.

>> How do you

fell seem concerned about you?

>> They're my friends. Good things to have

anytime, any place.

Do that again.

Let me keep you company.

What's up?

>> Regulations. They figure you guys do for

San Quinton. Well, we're supposed to

keep an eye on him.

>> Figure I might try to escape, huh?

>> Just one way.

>> I got to speak first.

>> We've had him take that way out before

when they lost hope. We're

>> I'm not the type.

>> There is no type.

>> Anyone uh ever make an escape? When we

used to take him over to San Quinton by

ferryboat in the old days, some of

getaways,

>> but not now, huh?

>> Not a chance. Old days, we had several

transfer points. That was bad. Now we

got the perfect oneway setup.

>> No loopholes, huh?

>> Not a one.

>> You treat us guys pretty good, don't

you?

>> The best is none too good for our

guests. You get a nice protected ride in

the sheriff's station wagon. over the

scenic Golden Gate Bridge through

marvelous countryside right into

picturesque San Quentin.

>> Right.

What'd you find out?

>> That stuff in the warehouse is nothing

but junk. It's been stored there for

over 30 years.

>> What about Mason?

>> The news isn't good.

>> Did you find him?

>> Yeah, only he got his head half split

open.

>> What?

>> That's right. And the funny angle is it

happened on exactly the same day as the

postmark on that letter.

>> He's dead. No, but he might as well be.

He's out at the county hospital. A

paralytic case now. He can't move or

talk. The nurses says they don't know

whether he'll ever get any better.

>> Who is he?

>> He's a lawyer and from what I gather,

not a very good one. Some sort of a

shyer. Never had any dough. Strictly

small time.

>> One blind alley after another.

>> We went up to Mason's office in a 153

Market Street building, too. There's

nobody there.

>> 153 Market Street building.

>> Yeah. Mhm. My lawyer has an office in my

building.

>> He's in the same office.

>> Are you sure?

>> Well, he's got his name on the door.

And my wife works for a lawyer there.

>> She know Jackson.

>> I don't know. They're supposed to be

strangers. At least they pretend to be.

>> Well, you sure got a phony defense if I

ever saw one from that lawyer.

>> I know. I told him so, too. He's got me

all set to sit over in San Quentin

waiting for the gas chamber while he

pretends to fix up my appeal.

>> What's his story?

>> I don't know, but I got to find out. I

don't know how, but I'm going to.

>> You know that hole off the PDIO where we

used to fish for those big striped bass

when we were kids?

>> Sure do. Just off Baker's Beach.

>> That's right. Gee, we used to pick up

some pretty fish in there. Still fish

there?

>> Nah, that was kids stuff. We operate off

Half Moon Bay now.

>> What do you mean kids stuff? There are

plenty of good fish left in there.

>> Yeah.

>> Listen, they're picking me up at 9:00

tomorrow morning in the chef's station

wagon. You know where the Prestigio Road

runs parallel to the approach of Golden

Gate Bridge?

>> Yeah.

>> You got to stop me there.

>> I don't know how, but we'll find some

way.

>> Fine.

>> You want some clothes?

>> Yes. My new suit, my hats, my briefcase.

bring a whole bunch of them,

>> right? You can count on us.

>> Well, you know, we better get going. Mom

doesn't like us to come home late for

dinner.

>> Yeah, I remembered.

>> See you, Eddie. I'll be seeing you,

Eddie.

>> So long. Thanks.

We're going to ship you out of the

Sure.

>> What's good with a friend if they can't

help you when you need it?

Eddie,

if you go back in town, you're crazy. By

now, every cop in San Francisco has

memorized that pan of yours. They'll

comb every alley.

>> You're right. With good clothes and

cleaned up, nine out of 10 cops won't

give me a tumble.

>> Well, what are you going to do?

>> Going to talk to my wife. She's got the

answer to some questions I'm going to

ask.

>> How can you be so stupid? Cops aren't

dub. That's exactly what they figure

you'll do. What? Half the plane close in

town are planted around her right now.

>> I know. That's why I want you two to

follow her. Find out when she leaves the

office where she eats. They keep me

posted.

>> Where?

>> I'll be at the Fairmont Hotel.

>> The Fairmont Hotel? Now I know you're

nuts.

>> Nothing but the best. I'll be registered

as Bernard Aninsley, vice president of

the International Equipment Corporation

of New York. You got it.

>> Got it. Well, I guess even vice

presidents have use for this stuff. Papa

sent it.

>> Thank Papa for meeting. God bless him.

>> Good luck, Eddie. Thanks.

>> You get me a taxi, please.

>> Yes, sir.

Heat. Heat.

All

right.

Heat. Hey, Heat.

Eddie,

your order, please. Coffee, please.

>> Just coffee.

>> How are you? How have you been?

>> You must be mad.

>> Just listening to the point.

>> They had a plane close on my trail every

time I stepped through the street.

>> You have a nice vacation. You know, I

was in Mexico once. Found it a

fascinating place. [music]

>> Tell me what's behind this. And this

time, I want the truth. Eddie, believe

me, I didn't know it would go this far.

My name's really Jean Turner, but that's

only a coincidence. Possibly that's

where Jackson got the idea in the first

place.

>> You work for him?

>> I work for Jackson and Mason. Mason

isn't exactly an angel. [music] He's

shady and he's tricky, but he hasn't the

courage to be dangerous. Jackson has

>> What's a racket?

>> Hunting heirs and swindling

beneficiaries is possible.

>> How do I fit into that? when they

discovered that you were an heir to a

fortune.

>> Me? Who left it? Come on, tell me the

details.

>> I don't know all the details.

>> What do you mean you don't know the

details? You worked for them, didn't

you? You had your reasons for marrying

me, and it certainly wasn't love.

>> It wasn't for love.

>> No, it wasn't for love then.

It all started when Benson, the man you

were convicted of killing, came into the

office with a warehouse receipt. the

warehouse receipt. Wait a minute. This

is

>> That's it.

Nathan told me he was going to fool

Jackson, that he was going to handle

this case legitimately and that the

attorney's fees would keep him for the

rest of his life. He thought it was a

good joke on Jackson, but Jackson

somehow got wind of it.

>> Go on. Go on. What happened?

>> Jackson checked on you completely and

waited for you to arrive. He staged

everything.

everything except my my falling in love

with you.

>> Eddie, you've got to leave. It's too

dangerous.

>> I'm running out of risk. Talk fast.

>> Please believe me. I'm not lying.

>> You know, I do believe you. But you

still haven't told me how you got mixed

up in this.

Well, I had a half check concession in a

nightclub, and I was stupid enough to

act as well, I suppose you'd call it a

post office for a smuggler, but I didn't

have any idea what those packages

contained. I just passed them on. And

when the peddler was arrested, I Jackson

was his lawyer, and he threatened to

expose me. Oh, I was frightened out of

my wits. So, whatever he told me to do,

I did. I was too scared to disobey.

>> It's very pretty. You marry me? I get

framed for murder. I die in San Quentin

all legally and nicely. And that fortune

you speak of goes to you.

>> But I wouldn't gotten a fortune. Jackson

maybe signed papers that gave him a

power of attorney.

>> That's great.

That means as long as I'm alive, you're

safe. But me out of the way, you're the

next one.

>> I hadn't thought about that.

>> No, there's a lot of things you didn't

think of.

>> I was all confused, but I'm all right

now. I'm going to the police. They won't

believe you.

>> Maybe not, but I'm going to go anyway.

>> Well, you better leave. I'll get in

touch with you as soon as I can.

>> Here,

take this. It's the key to Jackson's

office. You'll have trouble breaking

into the file, but you may find

something there will help you.

>> How do I know this isn't another one of

your tricks?

>> There's a $5,000 reward on you. To

collect it, all I have to do is call

Norris.

I'm

>> sorry.

I'll wait here until Nars starts after

you.

>> Don't worry about Nars. I'll have him

take me in.

Miss check please.

[music]

>> The doctor won't be in until [music]

later. You may see your uncle only a few

minutes. Visiting hours are almost over

now.

>> Is he?

>> His mind is sound, but he is otherwise

completely paralyzed. [music]

I know he'll be glad to see someone of

his family.

>> Pardon me?

>> Yes, sir.

[music]

>> I'm Edmund Dantes.

>> [music]

>> Did you send me this?

You can move your eyes

back and forth.

[music] Move them from left to right.

I move them from left to right for yes.

You understand?

That's it. [music] Try right to left for

no.

That's fine. Right to left for no. Left

to right for yes.

That's right. Did you send me this?

Is there something of value in that

warehouse?

Does it concern me?

>> [music]

>> Does Jackson know what it is?

Is Jackson the one that slugged you?

Is he my enemy? [music]

Do you know anything about the murder of

Matthew Benson?

What's in that warehouse? Mason,

look. We'll do it as a sort of an

animal, vegetable, mineral game. [music]

Is it animal?

>> I'm sorry, sir. You'll have to leave.

>> Couldn't I stay a little longer?

>> Hospital regulation. You may return

tomorrow. Remember, we don't want to

excite our patient.

>> Of course. Well, good luck. I'll be

back, Uncle Henry.

>> What are his chances? Will he ever talk

again?

>> In time, probably. He's showing some

improvement. Of course, you can hope for

nothing more than partial recovery.

[music]

>> How soon?

>> Perhaps tomorrow. Perhaps 6 months from

now.

>> Call for Miss Hendris. Call for Miss

Hendrick.

>> Excuse me.

>> Thank you.

>> Put it on 28. Mary.

Hello. [music]

Yes. As well as may be expected. Oh, his

nephew came to see him and just left.

What was that?

Well, about 30, I should say. 6'2,

brown hair, and gray eyes.

Yes. I'll tell Mr. Mason

that was your business partner calling.

Mr. Jackson wanted to know how you were

getting along. Fine, aren't we?

>> And that's my story and how I came to

know Eddie Danty's.

>> Well, what can I say? Maybe she's on the

level and maybe she's not. Her story

certainly fills out certain points I

never did feel quite right about.

Doby's case always had too many loose

ends to suit me.

I'll go along. If I ever saw a defense

attorney throw his case, it was our

friend Earl Jackson.

I've got nothing to lose. It's your neck

that's sticking out, sister. A long way.

And I'm guaranteeing nothing. Remember

that.

>> I'll take my chances now.

>> Is that waiter still hanging around

outside? Probably. He's been sticking on

her trail like glue for the last few

days.

>> Don't let him know I'm in. I'll have the

boys cover you. When she shakes you,

don't let it look too easy.

>> Right.

>> Okay. On your way.

>> And what comes next?

>> Oh, as usual, I guess. Up all night.

>> Look, Mrs. Dantics, if you really have

anything to tell us, I wish you'd tell

me. Perry may not be back before

evening.

>> No, I'll come back.

[music]

[music]

>> [music]

>> What is this?

>> You were [music] going to stool pigeon

on us, eh?

>> Let me go.

>> Take it easy.

>> It's very good advice, Mrs. Dantis.

>> What are you going to do?

>> Two things and you're the second. Let's

go, [music] Charlie.

And now reporting the local scene.

Unremitting police search for San

Quentin fugitive Edmond Dantes, whose

spectacular escape on route to the

penitentiary sparked the city's most

intense manhunt in years, was

highlighted by new violence this

evening. Danty's ex- lawyer Jackson

reported to police that Dante's wife had

phoned to tell him she was going to meet

her husband, who had threatened her with

death if she failed. Mrs. Danty's has

disappeared. Second climax of the past

12 hours was the murder of attorney

Henry Mason, a paralytic patient in the

county hospital. A man masquerading as

Mason's nephew was identified by nurse

Alma Hendris as Edund Dantis who had

called earlier in the day. Inspector

Michael Perry in charge of the manhunt

had declared that every available

officer on the force has been assigned

to search for the killer. And now for

the sports news. Well, the Seals won

another game tonight 3 to2.

Give us 5 minutes, Tyson, and then bring

her up the office.

[music]

[music]

>> [music]

[music]

>> Heat. Heat.

[music]

>> [music]

[music]

[music]

>> Hello, Tyson. This is Jackson. Now, get

this straight. We picked up Jean before

she gets spilled to the cops. No, no,

she didn't talk to Norris. She was

waiting around to see Perry, but he

wasn't there. Now, look, she's over at

the Apex warehouse. Get over there and

take care of her. I don't want her

around. Do you understand?

All right.

[music]

Why would the Dantes know we've got the

D? You'll find out when we get to the

warehouse alley.

[music]

[music]

>> [music]

[music]

[bell]

>> Hey, he can't spot us in the window, can

he?

>> No. He probably watched us drive away

and thinks we're gone.

There he is.

>> Easy, sister.

>> [music]

>> Well, let's go to the Apex warehouse.

>> Tyson, you stay here with her and don't

you try anything funny.

Now, uh, honey, you heard what the nice

man said. So, don't try anything [music]

funny cuz, um, I ain't got the heart to

slug a dame, especially a beautiful

dame. You know, uh, I'm single.

>> I can understand that.

>> And then, of course, I can't get a dame.

[music] I'm I'm fickle.

Yeah.

>> [music]

[music]

>> I told you to stay in a car.

>> Yeah, I'd come here blowing a hole

through you.

>> I couldn't help it. I had to tap her.

She got a little rough. See? But I

didn't hit her too hard. She's on fire

for where we want her. Huh.

>> All right. The two of you stay here.

[music]

[music]

>> [music]

make this look good. [music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

>> [music]

[music]

[bell]

>> this way, please. This might have worked

if your wife hadn't been willing to

gamble a freedom for yours. Inspector,

you know that was a frame up. We'll

clear it all off. There'll be no

charges.

>> You know, I thought something had gone

wrong when I said Eddie walked you right

into Jackson's gun.

>> Sometimes cops aren't so dumb. They saw

you shake Norris, but Jackson didn't

know we had you covered every minute

from the time he picked you up. Five

squad cars on call, too. I thought it

was closer than I figured.

>> These are the rest of your goods.

>> Yes, thanks.

>> You know, seems awfully foolish for this

junk. It's hard to believe that murder

be done for a warehouse full of junk and

building material. Tell me, inspector,

if this stuff has been here for 30

years, why hasn't it been sold for

storage charges? We checked on that. The

original owner gave instructions that

everything could be sold for storage

charges except the chandeliers and

wooden columns. Chandeliers and wooden

columns.

Wait a minute.

Look at this. Inspector Jean,

look what happened.

Diamonds. Rare stones. Emeralds. This

broke. It's a chandelier. But this

didn't. They're precious stones.

Diamonds. Rubies. Sapphires. Look. Jean.

Where are you going? What's the matter?

>> Nothing. That guy. I wish you didn't

have so much money.

>> Oh, I think you'll get used to it.

>> Eddie, Papa's got something he wants to

say to you.

>> No.

>> No.

>> Please. I'm going [music] to cook a

bigger dinner. A spaghetti for

everybody. See everybody come eat the

plenty drink the good wine be happy

[music] you too Mr. flat the fetus.

>> I'll come but I won't eat your spaghetti

be happy but I'll come. [music]

it.

>> No occupational disease. I must watch my

ulcer.

>> Oh, sir. That's all right. Bring him

too.

>> Thank you, Papa. We'll be there. Now,

Apparently, your wire wasn't received.

>> But I sent it 3 days ago.

>> I'm sorry, Mrs. Stewart. Unfortunately,

there's nothing I can do for you.

>> You mean I can't stay here?

>> Well, I wish I could help, but we're

I don't know if he's been [laughter]

Perhaps I can arrange something.

out like this. Margaret, I've I've

decided to ask you for a divorce.

>> A divorce?

>> Well, [laughter]

>> why should I divorce you?

>> Oh, please, Margaret, let's be sensible.

Whatever we had for one another is gone.

We've been afraid to admit it before,

but it's true. Elaine and I,

well, I love her.

>> You never loved anyone but yourself.

>> Please, Margaret.

>> I was good enough for you once, but now

you want someone younger.

>> It's not that way at all. It's just that

I I can't go on with you any longer.

>> All right, Richard. You can have your

divorce. You're right. We are strangers.

But I have some pride and no one's going

to think you've cast me off like you

want your precious Ela and you can have

her. But people are going to know the

truth. I'll start right in by telling

the room clerk you've been entertaining

your girlfriend in our apartment. Then

I'll call the newspapers. Careful,

cautious Richard. Destroying everything

he is for the sake of a cheap.

>> Get away from that. You asked more than

you're going to get it.

>> Leave that.

>> I'll enjoy telling your friends you and

your mother have been up to. I hate you.

>> [music]

[music]

>> Good morning.

>> Good morning, sir. I'm Lieutenant

Stewart.

>> Oh, yes, Lieutenant. We've been

expecting you. Your wife's certainly

going to be glad to see you, sir. Mr.

Blake, this is Lieutenant Stewart. Mr.

Blake's our manager.

>> Lieutenant, you really had us worried.

I'm glad you finally got here.

>> For a while, I wasn't sure we'd make it.

The weatherman threw the book at us.

>> Well, you're in for a real welcome.

>> 816C, boy.

>> Oh, that's all right. I'd kind of like

to surprise you.

>> Very well, sir.

>> Thanks.

Janet,

darling, what's the matter?

>> [music]

>> Janet. Janet. It's me. It's Paul.

[music]

[music]

Janet. [music]

Hello. Hello. Operator, this is

Lieutenant Stewart calling. Can you send

the house dog to day 16C right away?

It's very urgent. Thank you. [music]

Well,

[music]

>> what is it? [music]

What's wrong with her, doctor?

>> I'm not sure. I think she's suffering

from some sort of shock.

I'll be frank with you, Lieutenant. This

is a little outside my line.

>> But there must be something you can do

for her.

>> We ought to call in a nerve specialist,

a psychiatrist.

>> Can you suggest one?

>> There's a very good man in the hotel,

Dr. Cross. If we're lucky, we might find

him in.

Uh, this is Dr. Blair. Will you see if

Dr. Cross is in for me?

>> Thanks.

Cross has had a lot of experience with

this sort of thing. I'm all right for a

broken arm or an oldfashioned hangover,

but when it comes to the mind, well,

hello, Dr. Cross. Uh, this is Blair in

the hotel. How are you?

See, I've run into something that's

right up your alley. One of the guests

here has had some sort of shock.

No, I I don't know what caused it. Oh,

would you? Well, that's mighty nice of

you. Thanks, doctor. 8:16 C.

You'll be right with us.

>> She was so alive when I saw her last.

I can't quite believe this.

>> Better snap out of it, Lieutenant. I

don't want another patient. Dr. Cross is

one of the best men in this part of the

country. I'm very happy that he's going

to have a look at it.

>> I don't get it. What could have brought

it on? I wish I could tell you. The

mind's a strange instrument. What

affects me may not bother you in the

slightest. The workings of the mind

depend on so many things inside as well

as outside. You can't make hard and fast

rules. Well, I suppose it is plausible

that she hasn't been feeling well,

worrying about me, not not knowing

whether I was dead or alive, then coming

here and not finding me.

That'll be Dr. Cross.

>> Good morning, doctor.

>> Good morning.

>> I appreciate your prompt.

>> Not at all. Sooner you get to a case of

shock, the better.

>> This is Lieutenant Stewart, Dr. Cross.

How do you do, Lieutenant?

>> Thanks for coming, doctor. My wife is in

the bedroom.

She doesn't know me. She doesn't seem to

know anything.

>> Were you here when it happened?

>> I just got in a few minutes ago. When I

opened the door, she was sitting on the

dean. Her eyes were wide open. She was

staring at at nothing.

Did you notice anything peculiar about

her actions when you saw her last?

>> I've been a prisoner of war for 2 years.

I've just come home.

>> Oh, I see. She's had a rugged time, but

all right. First thinking I was dead,

then hearing from me. On top of all

that, my plane was 12 hours late.

>> Would you say that she was a nervous,

imaginative girl?

>> No, sir. I've known her all my life. We

came from the same small town in

Michigan. Went to school together. She

Well, she's just a nice kid.

What's wrong with her, doctor?

>> She's had a nervous collapse. Went into

shock.

>> Where did you find her?

>> In the living room.

>> In the living room.

>> You said she was sitting on the dean.

>> Yes, right here.

>> I see. What do you think it have caused

it, doctor?

>> Well, that's difficult to say.

You have no idea how long she might have

been sitting there.

>> No.

>> Oh, the clerk did say she phoned down

about 1:00 in the morning.

>> Between 1 and 8:30.

>> What difference does that make, doctor,

the important thing is what can you do

for her?

>> It's hard for a doctor to make promises.

We can only do our best.

>> Are you living permanently at the hotel?

>> No. As a matter of fact, we've got to

clear out by noon.

>> Oh, I see.

But then I'd better take her to my

place. She's going to need someone with

her night and day.

>> Dr. Cross has a private sanatorium just

out of town.

>> I see. Believe me, Lieutenant. It's best

for her.

>> But there must be a hospital here in San

Francisco. I'd like to be near her.

>> Of course, but I'm at my place every

day. It's in the country, and she'll get

plenty of fresh air and quiet.

>> If I were you, Lieutenant, I'd listen to

Dr. Cross.

>> Okay. You men know best. Just get her

well again.

>> I was getting ready to leave when you

called. I'll take Mrs. Stewart up with

me now.

>> Hello, this is Dr. Cross. Will you get

my office, please?

>> I'm going along with her, doctor. I'd

rather you waited, Lieutenant, until

I've been able to give her a thorough

examination. It's quite possible your

presence may excite her and do her more

harm than good. It's just that I It's

been so long since I've seen her.

>> Why don't you drive up with me tomorrow?

Miss Jordan, will you call the hospital

and tell Miss Hatfield to have a room

ready for a new patient? We'll be there

shortly. Yes, that's right. You pick us

up at the hotel.

Right.

You'd better pack a bag for your wife,

Lieutenant.

>> Thanks, doctor.

I'm from Dr. Cross's office. We were to

pick up a patient.

>> Oh, yes. They're on their way down now.

>> Thank you.

>> Your car is waiting, doctor.

>> Thank you. This is Miss Jordan from my

office. Lieutenant Stewart.

>> How do you do, Lieutenant?

>> Mrs. Stewart has had a nervous collapse.

>> What a shame. Don't you worry,

Lieutenant. We'll soon have her well

again.

You'll call for me in the morning,

right?

>> Yes. I'll pick you up at 11:30.

put her to bed and have Dr. Stevens give

her an injection of Scopalamine.

>> Yes, doctor.

>> Miss Hatfield.

>> Good morning, doctor.

>> Your patient is coming in at the

ambulance entrance. You have a room

ready?

>> Yes, I have, sir.

>> Thank you.

>> Good morning, sir.

>> Good morning, doctor. How is she?

>> Glad to relax her. What's her trouble?

>> Amnesia shock.

She's had her injection.

>> Yes, doctor. She's ready to talk now.

>> Thank you. That'll be all.

I'm Dr. Cross, Mrs. Stewart.

I am your friend. I'm here to help you.

I want you to think.

You're going to remember things now.

You went to meet your husband at the

Belmont Arms.

Do you remember that?

You were worried about Paul.

He didn't arrive on time.

You were too [music] nervous to sleep.

Did you walk out on the balcony?

>> I

Yes.

>> I I walked out on the balcony. See, you

can remember. [music]

But what did you see from the balcony?

>> They

they were

quarreling.

>> You heard them distinctly.

>> I did. You hear them distinctly?

>> He's

trying to stop her.

He's

going to hit her.

He's

hitting her head.

He's

killing her.

>> Who?

Who's hurting the woman?

>> That

man.

He's her

husband.

He's killing her.

[gasps]

[music]

>> Well,

>> she knows, Elaine. She remembers.

Her room was opposite my apartment. She

walked out on the balcony and she heard

everything.

>> [music]

>> Yes.

Can you come now, doctor? They're having

trouble with Mr. Edwards again.

>> Yes.

[music]

>> [music]

[music]

>> Darling, I didn't think you'd ever get

here. [music]

I love you.

>> [music]

>> You've got a headache. I can tell from

your eyes.

>> Yes, it's bursting.

>> You did it.

>> Yes.

Yes, I did it. It was horrible. the

lane.

I had the porter take the trunk down.

I told the hotel manager I was joining

my

wife in Carmel for a few days

to ship the trunk to my lodge.

>> No one knew she was in town last night.

>> No, she came up the back way. She wanted

to surprise us. Remember?

>> You're not sorry.

Are you?

>> I wish I'd called the police. I lost my

head. I didn't mean to kill her. There

was no premeditation.

But now I've concealed her body. I've

shipped the trunk to my lodge. Well, you

know as well as I do. There's only one

answer for that. I shouldn't have

listened to you, Elaine.

>> Think, darling. What would have happened

if you'd called the police? Manslaughter

means 20 years. What would that have

done to you? To us?

>> I don't know.

>> Would you have wanted it that way?

Now, no one knows. We're safe.

>> You're forgetting Janet Stewart, aren't

you? She knows. What if she talks?

>> I haven't forgotten her.

>> She can't tell what she's seen as long

as she's in this condition, can she?

>> Shock will wear off in a couple of weeks

at the most.

>> It'll wear off if you let it, Dick.

>> Elaine, I'm a doctor.

>> She'll talk only if you let her.

>> You mean too much to me. It's the only

way out, Dick. It's the one and only way

out for us. If I don't know, Elaine,

I've got to think.

>> Good morning, Mrs. Penny.

>> Good morning, doctor.

>> You're looking very well today.

>> Thank you, doctor.

>> Good morning, doctor.

>> Morning, Miss Hatfield. This is

Lieutenant Stewart. Miss Hatfield is our

head nurse.

>> How do you do, Lieutenant?

>> Is Miss Jordan with Mrs. Stewart?

>> Yes, she is. Doctor,

>> good morning, Lieutenant.

>> Janet.

Darling, it's me.

It's Paul.

I'm home, dear.

She's worse. Not really. She was

restless and we gave her a sedative.

You've got to be patient, Lieutenant.

It's going to take time, and you must

try to stop thinking of your wife as she

was. You see, when you were reported

killed, she had a terrible time

adjusting herself, but she did. Then

when the news came that you were alive

and on your way home, it was hard for

her subconscious to accept that because

the first adjustment had been so

difficult. Then of course when your

plane was late, she thought she'd been

tricked, that you'd never sent that

wire.

>> Don't try and let me off easily, doctor.

Give it to me straight. Tell me, can you

help her?

>> That's a very difficult question to

answer. Sit down, Matt.

The mind is a delicate, fragile thing.

It's almost as intangible as as faith.

And that's what you're going to need. A

lot of faith in yourself and in your

wife and in me. Please don't think I

haven't faith in you, doctor, because I

have.

But yesterday, after you left with

Janet, I I needed someone to talk to,

>> of course. So, I went to the Army

Hospital and I talked with some of the

doctors. I told them Janet was in your

care. They said that I couldn't find a

better man.

But, well, you know how it is. I I

figured that maybe two minds might be

better than one, and I asked if another

opinion mightn't help.

>> Well, that's perfectly understandable.

If you want a consultant, by all means,

bring one in.

>> Thanks. They recommended Dr. Franklin

Harvey.

>> Harvey? Well, I studied under him. He's

probably the best man in his field. All

that's well, doctor, I was a little

embarrassed. I didn't want you to think

that.

>> Not at all. I'll phone Dr. Harvey and

have him out here.

>> Good.

Well, I might as well go back to town.

If it's all right, I'll run out again

tomorrow. For Mrs. Stewart's sake, I'm

going to have to ask you to observe our

regular visiting days, Sundays and

Thursdays. I'll phone Dr. Harvey and try

to have him out here Thursday so that

you can talk with him then.

>> Okay, we'll make it Thursday.

Oh, I thought you'd like to know,

Lieutenant. She's resting quite easily

now.

>> Thanks. Goodbye, doctor. Miss Jordan.

>> Goodbye.

Mrs. Stewart.

Mrs. Stewart,

you're going out on that balcony again.

Mrs. Stuart,

you're looking into the other apartment.

You're listening to the argument.

Do you remember what happened to the

woman? [music]

He's hitting her.

He's hitting her with the candlestick.

And now he's hitting you. Hitting you

with the candlestick. Hitting your head

again and again.

>> The candlestick is killing you. Soon you

won't be able to remember anything.

You can't hear the sound now.

You can't hear anything.

You can't hear.

You can't remember.

You can't remember.

You can't remember.

Edward's condition is deteriorating

rapidly.

If this continues, we will have to take

steps to put him in a more suitable

institution.

>> She's exhausted.

You haven't got far to go.

>> Lane, do you think you could manage it

here alone for the weekend?

>> Certainly. Why?

>> The trunk should be there tomorrow.

>> I've been wondering. There are no

servants at the lodge. What'll happen

when the trunk is delivered and there's

no one to receive it?

>> Nothing. They'll just leave it on the

back porch.

When are you leaving?

>> Tomorrow.

Dr. Harvey's due here this afternoon,

>> Harvey. Coming here for what?

>> Stuart requested a consultation.

>> You're not going to let him examine her.

>> Of course. How would it have looked if

I'd said no?

>> But he might discover something.

>> He has no reason to be suspicious.

>> You can't risk it. I won't let you.

>> I know what I'm doing, Elaine.

>> Darling, you're not thinking clearly.

>> I've never seen things so clearly before

in my whole life.

You'll send me a report on her spinal

test.

>> Yes, Dr. Harvey.

>> And the other specimens?

>> Yes.

You know, Richard,

I'm not sure I completely agree this was

all brought on by her husband's late

arrival. That was a contributing

circumstance.

I feel there may have been something

else.

>> Well, that's always possible, of course,

but I found no evidence of it.

>> Just speculation.

>> Will you have a cigar, sir?

>> Yes. Thank you.

Let's continue the present treatment and

see how she comes along.

>> Yes.

>> I noticed, Richard, you've been giving

her sedatives.

>> Yes, I have. She's been pretty difficult

at times.

>> I'd go easy on them. If she's under

sedation, there's no way of knowing when

she comes back to normal.

>> No, I'd plan to take her off them within

the next 24 hours.

>> Fine. By the way, how's Margaret?

>> I'm joining her at the lodge. Give her

my regards when you see her.

>> I will. Thank you, sir.

>> Well, I better talk with the young man.

Sometimes I wonder which are more

difficult, patients or their families.

>> Hi, you beautiful.

>> Hi.

>> What a night.

>> You don't happen to know a blonde who'd

like to relax with me, do you?

That's what I thought you'd say.

>> Coffee,

>> please.

And poor Edwards, these storms don't do

him any good. He kept ducking into his

closet and slamming the door after him.

I finally had to lock it.

>> How's your patient?

>> All right, I guess.

>> I was talking with her husband. It's

kind of tough coming home and finding a

wife in that condition.

>> Yes.

>> Can't figure Dr. Cross's treatment.

Why keep the poor guy from seeing his

wife? think would have helped snap

Rabbit if she saw more of him.

>> Dr. Cross doesn't want to get her

excited. After all, the attack was

brought on by worry over him.

>> Yeah,

>> that was close.

Heat.

[music]

[bell]

Heat. [music]

Heat.

Heat.

[music]

Heat. Heat.

[music]

[music]

It's time to turn in. So, you better

tuck your patient in bed and get a good

night's sleep.

>> Yes, I should be up there now.

>> Tell me, is it true that doctors get a

night off once in a while?

>> If you had a night off, you wouldn't

know what to do with it,

>> wouldn't I?

Wouldn't I?

>> Good night, doctor.

>> Good night.

Well, another stormy weekend. It is my

night off.

Well, anyway, the rain will help Jane on

her day off.

>> [bell]

[music]

>> Who's there?

>> Why, Mr. Edwards, you shouldn't be in

here. Come, [music] I'll take you back.

>> Don't I Heat.

[screaming]

Heat. [music]

[music]

>> [music]

>> Don't be afraid.

We won't let the storm hurt you.

You're coming back to your room, aren't

you, Mr. Edwards?

Aren't you, Mr. Edwards?

That's fine. Come along.

>> Take care of him, Frank.

>> Yes, doctor. Come along, sir.

>> Are you all right, Elaine?

>> Yes.

>> They're there, Mrs. Stewart. It's all

over. No,

>> he killed her. He hit her on the head

and he killed her. Her [laughter]

husband killed her.

Edwards became very violent last night.

This morning, we found that he had a key

hidden away. I ordered the lock on his

door to be changed. As for Mrs. Stewart,

she's suffering from hallucinations.

She keeps insisting that she witnessed a

murder, which obviously

Come in.

Oh, hello, Lieutenant. They told me I'd

find you here. I hope I'm not

interrupting. Not at all. It's kind of

rough, isn't it?

>> Yeah. She's out of her head. She's got a

crazy idea. She saw a murder. What am I

going to do?

>> Ah, you're going to sit tight. She's in

good hands.

>> So, they keep telling me, but

Oh, she's getting worse now. I'm

thinking of taking her back to San

Francisco to a hospital there.

>> I u I wouldn't do that if I were you,

Lieutenant. Dr. Cross's tops. You know

that. You brought Harvey in to consult.

You can't do any better than that.

>> But I can't just sit around and watch

her get worse. I've got to do something.

>> Lieutenant, I wouldn't try to kid you

for the world. So far, we've tried to

snap her out of it with quiet and rest

and simple foods. Well, there are a

dozen other things we can do. Electric

therapy, insulin shock.

>> Insulin shock. They use that in the army

on guys who blow their tubs.

>> Sure they do because it often helps. But

you're not going to turn it down in that

account, are you?

>> No.

>> Well, relax. The setup here is perfect.

Everybody's rooting for you. I just take

it easy.

>> You mean that?

Okay.

Say, put in a couple of extra legs, Doc.

I'd kind of like to take her home soon.

>> Okay, Lieutenant. We'll do everything we

possibly can for her.

Goodbye, doctor. Goodbye. I

>> look at this. Mrs. Cross is dead.

>> What?

The body of Mrs. Margaret Cross, wife of

the noted psychiatrist, has just been

recovered from its resting place among

the rocks at Point Lobus.

Mrs. Cross has been missing since Friday

night. Governor Jess Haynes has

pronounced the death accidental.

>> Good morning, doctor. You have our

deepest sympathy.

>> Thank you.

I'm terribly sorry, doctor.

>> Thank you. Will you come in, Miss Julie?

>> Yes, sir.

>> You're the perfect picture of a

heartbroken husband.

>> Am I?

>> I've missed you.

>> Driving back, there was time to think. I

got to thinking about you.

I asked myself,

is she worth what I've done?

>> Well,

that was a very satisfactory answer.

>> How did things go while I was away?

>> Well, darling, things are going so well,

I can hardly believe it.

>> What do you mean?

>> Mr. Edwards got out during the storm. He

went into a room.

>> What?

>> He went after me. I struggled with him.

She woke up and confused Mr. Edwards

with you. She was thrown back into that

night at the hotel.

>> Oh, Elaine, that undoes everything I've

tried to do.

>> No. Stevens and Miss Hatfield heard her.

They're convinced she's insane. Now, no

matter what she says, they'll think she

has hallucinations.

>> I see.

>> But you don't see, darling. Before you

were trying to make her forget. Now she

can talk her head off and no one will

believe her. If we can encourage her to

talk, convince her husband that she's

insane, we can keep her here as long as

it suits us. Then have a committed

[music]

darling.

Janet darling,

it's me. [music]

Wake up.

Out of here, dear.

[music]

[music]

Paul,

I've waited all night for you, darling.

>> [music]

>> What took you so long?

>> Don't worry. I'm with you now. [music]

>> We have to be out by morning, Paul.

They won't let us stay.

>> Lieutenant Stewart,

>> you shouldn't be in here.

>> Paul,

it's him. Who is it, dear?

>> Him. [clears throat]

He killed her.

He killed his wife.

He picked something up, Paul, and hit

her with it. [laughter] He was arguing

with her and he killed her.

>> I know. I know. Dear, you've upset her,

Lieutenant. You shouldn't have come in

here. Come outside with me. Give her a

hypodermic nurse.

>> Don't leave me here. You'll kill me.

Come back.

>> What was it, doctor? What's happened to

her? Lieutenant, I'm going to be

perfectly frank with you. What you've

just heard is something I've been afraid

of. There are times when patients

emerging from amnesia suffer from

delusions. It doesn't happen often. I'd

hoped it wouldn't happen in her case,

but you heard it yourself.

>> But why?

Well, that's hard to explain.

But if you come with me, I think I might

be able to clarify it for you.

Hello, Mrs. Penny.

>> Good day, doctor.

>> How are you feeling today?

>> Just fine, doctor. Just fine.

>> That's a lovely thing you're knitting

there.

>> It's a shaw for one of my friends.

>> Everyone here treating you well?

>> Oh, yes. They're very nice to me. Dr.

Stevens hasn't tried to kill me with

that needle for a long while now.

Neither has Miss Hatfield.

>> Haven't I told you many times, Mrs.

Penny, that no one here is trying to

kill you.

>> Oh, yes they are. You all want to kill

me. You're murderers, all of you. But

I've learned I'm too smart for you.

What you've just heard, Lieutenant, for

the second time is the typical attitude

of many of our patients towards the

hospital staff. But that old lady, she

seemed all right.

>> Mrs. Penny is suffering from a paranoid

form of dementia precox characterized

either by delusions of grandeur or

delusions of persecution or both. The

patient, when confined to the hospital,

almost invariably becomes convinced that

the doctors and nurses who are treating

him are really murderers intent on

killing him. This delusion is quite

common among mental cases in an

institution of this sort.

>> Are you trying to tell me my wife is out

of her mind?

>> No. Out of the mind denotes complete

loss of reason. Mrs. Stewart hasn't

reached that stage,

>> but she's got the same crazy idea as the

other patients.

>> Right now, she's merely suffering

delusions.

However, I I feel it's only fair to tell

you, Lieutenant, that this condition can

become worse. Our fight now is to

prevent further deterioration of her

mind.

>> You've got to help her, doctor.

>> You've got to get her well again.

>> I'll do everything I can. Believe me.

[music]

[music]

>> [music]

[music]

>> Come now, Mrs. Stewart. You shouldn't be

out of bed.

>> Will you help me? Please. Please. Please

help me. Get the police here. Please.

>> We don't need the police. Mrs. Stewart,

you come along with me and everything

will be fine.

>> You don't understand. [laughter] There's

nothing to matter with me. I want the

police. That doctor's a murderer.

>> Why don't you go back to bed and we'll

call the police.

>> Don't talk to me as if I were crazy. I'm

telling you the truth.

>> Orderly. Now, come along, Mrs. Stewart.

No one is going to offend you.

Everything [laughter] is going to be all

right.

>> Let me go. No, I'm not crazy. I'm not

crazy.

>> I wish you could have been there to see

her yourself.

>> Yes, I heard about it this morning.

>> She had the usual delusions. She kept

insisting that you were a murderer. You

know how they get. She wanted me to call

the police. For a moment, she became

very violent. I had to give her a

sedative. I think we ought to do

something about her.

>> I agree with you, doctor. I'll be in to

see her in a few minutes.

>> Thank you, sir.

>> Thank you.

>> There. You see, everything worked out

just as we planned.

>> Yes.

>> Well, smile, darling. It's fallen right

in our lap. You don't seem particularly

pleased.

>> I am. Of course I am, Elaine.

>> But what are you going to do?

I'm going to try to find something that

will convince her that she's insane.

>> You'd better get back to her now,

darling. I'll be over in a few minutes.

>> Right.

You feeling any better today?

>> I'm all right. There's nothing the

matter with me. Miss Jordan tells me

that you're still talking about some

woman I'm supposed to have killed.

I've asked you to stop thinking about

such things, Mrs. Stewart.

>> But it was your own wife.

>> If I can prove to you that you couldn't

have seen me kill my wife, would you

believe that this is a delusion you've

been suffering from?

>> You were arguing with her about a

divorce.

If you will look at the date on this

newspaper, Mrs. Stewart, you will see

that my wife died only a week ago.

You have been a patient here for over 3

weeks now.

>> Three weeks.

>> That's right.

>> So, you see, this has all been a very

vivid dream.

You must fight these dreams, Mrs.

Stewart, are they're going to become

worse, and we don't want that to happen.

>> My mind is all right.

>> It's not all right, Mrs. Stewart. Your

mind is sick and it's getting worse.

>> My mind is all right.

>> You wouldn't want your husband to see

you in that condition, would you? He

doesn't even want to see you when you're

like this.

You're losing your mind, Mrs. Stewart.

>> No. No.

>> Losing your mind.

No.

Thank you, Miss Hatfield.

>> Dr. Cross.

>> Yes.

>> There's someone in your office to see

you.

>> Did I have an appointment?

>> No, sir. He's from the district

attorney's office of Monterey.

>> Oh, yes. Thank you.

Dr. Cross.

>> Yes.

>> How are you? My name's O'Neal. I'm with

the District Attorney's Office in

Monterey County.

>> Oh, yes. What can I do for you?

>> It's in connection with your wife's

death, doctor.

>> I thought the case had been closed.

Something happened this week that made

us consider the possibility that your

wife didn't fall into that chasm by

accident.

>> I don't understand. A couple of days

ago, someone broke into Harwood Lodge,

beat Mrs. Harwood into unconsciousness,

and made off with her valuables. We

caught the thief day before yesterday.

>> But what is that to do with Mrs. Cross's

death?

>> It may not have anything to do with it.

It occurred to us that since the lodge

was so close to your place, the man who

clubed Mrs. Harwood may have paid a

visit to your wife.

You've lived around Point Lobos for

nearly 10 years. Mrs. Cross spent much

of a time there. She must have known

those cliffs pretty well, even at night.

>> Yes.

I'd hate to think that she

>> I'm not saying it was murder, doctor.

I'm just checking.

>> Of course. I'll do everything I can to

help you. I knew you'd feel that way

about it.

>> Have you checked your place to see if

anything was missing?

>> I'm sure there isn't or I'd have noticed

it.

>> If it's all right with you, doctor, we'd

like to have Mrs. Cross's body exumed.

>> But the coroner said

>> it was only a routine examination.

>> Well, I don't know if that's necessary.

Mr. O'Neal,

you've got your man.

>> All we've got is a drunken old who

clubed Mrs. Harwood and stole a little

money and jewelry. We can't know about

Mrs. Cross unless the body's exumed.

But it seems almost sacriiggious.

Hasn't she been through enough? Haven't

I? I'd hoped you'd be more

understanding, doctor. Naturally, we'll

get a court order, but it would be much

simpler if you

if this killed your wife, you want

to see him punished, don't you?

>> Of course. Then you can't

conscientiously object to the exeation.

>> No.

No, Mr. O'Neal. I can't. If the man is

guilty, he must be punished. Of course.

>> Thank you, doctor.

You'll hear from me one way or the other

within the next few days. Thank you for

your cooperation.

[music]

>> [music]

>> Darling, I've been so worried. I didn't

know what had happened to you.

>> Where have you been?

>> The city.

>> When you were here for dinner, I began

to worry. [music] What did the man from

the district attorney's office want?

>> They're going to excuse Margaret's body.

>> You're not going to let them.

>> I had nothing to say about it. They'd

get a court order.

>> But why are they? I don't

>> I think some prowler may have killed

her. Prowler.

>> They weren't looking for anything

before. She slipped and fell and

fractured her skull [music] against the

rocks.

Now they may discover it wasn't the fall

that killed her.

>> They can't prove anything.

>> No. Once they start asking questions,

[music] I That's why I went to the city.

I had to make sure that I hadn't

overlooked anything in the apartment.

Why didn't I report it in the first

place? Why did I let you talk me into

it? If it weren't for that Steuart girl,

if they start asking questions and find

her,

>> maybe they won't find her. We've taken

care of everything else so far. If we

have to, we'll take care of her, too.

And you're not helping matters acting

this way. [music]

>> [music]

>> If a man wanted to, if he had courage,

he could get rid of her. No one would

ever know.

A doctor has an advantage.

I could give her insulin shock

treatment.

[music]

Shock treatments indicated in a case

like hers. I could give her four

injections. Then with the last one, an

overdose. No one would ever know the

difference.

>> Then we'd be safe. No matter what the

district attorney's office found, we'd

be safe. They'd have nothing on us.

Richard, we could get married then.

You'd be yourself again, Richard. We'd

find peace and quiet here. Just the two

of us.

>> You don't think [music] I'd do it, do

you?

>> Why not? Is her life more important than

ours?

>> I've had enough. Look, Elaine, I can't

go on like this. Things keep piling up.

First it was Margaret then tricking that

child so that she'd forget. [music] Then

convincing her that she was insane.

There's a limit beyond which even I

can't go. [music]

Richard, [music]

remember the first night I came here?

Remember

>> [music]

>> You were alone.

[music]

You were sitting here in front of the

fireplace with a sick headache. [music]

The lights were out.

You didn't hear me when I knocked. Then

I opened the door and you said, "Oh,

it's you, Miss Jordan."

You call me Miss Jordan then, remember?

I told you I had to see you about Mrs.

Penny's prescription. [music]

You talked to me and you saw that I was

tired and you asked me if I wouldn't

have a drink.

I hesitated and you said,

"I won't bite your head off, Miss

Jordan." [music]

We had a drink.

Remember,

we sat here for a long time and then

suddenly you left and you said your

headache was gone.

And you asked me about my family and

[music] I told you.

And we both laughed.

[music] Remember?

[music]

Then you took me in your arms.

[music]

I know you remember that.

>> I won't do it, Eli. I won't do it.

Just a minute. I'm coming.

>> Hello, doctor.

Come in.

>> I hope you hadn't gone to bed.

>> No.

They told me at the hospital I'd find

you here.

>> I didn't expect to see you so soon, Mr.

O'Neal. I I thought you'd phone me if

there were any developments.

>> I had to serve the papers.

>> Oh, yes.

>> Coroner's inquest subpoena. Now it's

legal.

>> What did the coroner find?

>> Your wife was murdered, doctor.

Oh,

>> are you sure? Yes, sir.

Sit down, Mr.

>> She was beaten over the head, suffered

an explosive fracture. Death was

practically instantaneous.

This prowler you told me about, you

think he did it? It

>> seems so. He clubed Mrs. Harwood. Your

wife went out the same way. A pattern.

Killers usually follow a pattern.

>> You don't know how she was killed. I

mean the weapon should have struck with

a candlestick.

>> A candlestick. Are you sure?

>> A heavy silver one.

>> How can you know?

>> Microscope. There were particles of

silver in the wound. They told us it was

a silver object. There were bits of wax

mixed in with the silver. They told us

it was a candlestick. It must have been

a heavy candlestick to have done the

damage.

Just routine, doctor.

A criminal doesn't have much of a chance

these days, does he?

>> No, sir.

>> By the way, do you have any silver

candlesticks at the lodge?

>> We might have. I'd like your permission

to go through the house. The murderer

may have left the candlestick behind, in

which case we'll get fingerprints. If he

got rid of the weapon, we may be able to

find the maid. Then we'll know what to

look for.

>> Of course. Go right ahead. Thanks.

Now, if we can find the candlestick, our

troubles are over.

By the way, when did you see Mrs. Cross

last? Alive. I mean,

>> oh, a couple of weeks before she was

killed. Why?

>> Can you place it a little more

definitely?

>> I think so.

Things had been piling up around here,

and I needed a change. So, I drove down

to Point Lus on a Friday night. Anyone

see you?

>> I don't think so. Why?

>> We're trying to fix the exact time of

her death.

>> Well, I'm not sure anyone saw me. I

drove down there on Friday night, left

there around 9:30 Saturday night.

>> Well, it's not too important.

>> Naturally, I want to do everything I can

to help you, Mr. O'Neal. If I think of

anything, I'll get in touch with you.

Thanks.

>> Sorry to bother you so late. That's all

right.

See you at the invoice.

>> Good night, doctor.

>> Good night.

[music]

>> [music]

[music]

>> Wilt thou love her, comfort her, honor

and keep her in sickness and in health,

and forsaking all others, keep only unto

her so long as she both shall live.

I would.

>> What's the matter, Richard? You haven't

been yourself lately. Something on your

mind, darling. What's happening with us?

Richard, I must speak to you. People

[music] are talking about you and that

nurse, Miss Jordan. How do you like my

hair, Richard? Of course, I've had a

dye. Everyone says it makes me look

younger.

I could give her

four injections,

then with the last one, an overdose.

>> [music]

>> Then we'd be safe. No matter what the

district attorney's office found, we'd

be safe.

Get me, Lieutenant Stewart, please.

>> The treatment itself consists of a

series of shocks brought on by

injections of insulin. The dosage and

the degree of shock is gradually

increased until we've reached what we

feel is the limit the patient's system

can stand.

>> Well, if you do give Janet this insulin,

how how certain can you be that it'll

help her?

>> I'm neither a miracle man nor a prophet,

Lieutenant. If medicine were an exact

science and not an art, I might be able

to tell you.

>> But you think there's a chance?

>> Yes, I do.

>> I I have seen it work in the army.

>> All right, doctor. Go ahead and try it.

>> Fine. We'll begin the treatment tomorrow

morning.

We'll give her about an hour and a half.

Oh. [music]

doctor.

>> but my secretary will make the

appointment.

>> I had to see you, doctor. It's about my

wife. She's been getting insulin shock

treatments.

>> Now, just a moment, young man. Oh, it's

Lieutenant Stewart.

>> Well, we've had some wonderful results

with insulin.

>> But after three treatments, she still

insists she saw Dr. Cross murder his

wife with a candlestick.

>> Murder his wife?

>> Yes. And she says he's trying to kill

her now.

>> That's a very common delusion.

>> Mrs. Cross is dead. And Dr. Cross did

live in our hotel.

>> You and the Crosses were in the same

hotel,

>> the Belmont Arms.

>> I see.

And when was it she said that?

Yesterday. Yes. After the treatment,

>> you realize it's hard to make

generalizations,

but as a rule, the patient is completely

normal immediately after insulin shock.

They may relapse into their

hallucination after this lucid period.

But for that moment, no matter how bad

the case, the patient speaks the truth.

You're telling me in your own way that

that Janet's normal, that she's got

something on cross and he's pretending

she's crazy to save his own neck.

>> I'm not saying quite that, but uh

>> will you read this, doctor?

Get Dr. Cross at his sanatorium, please.

It seems inconceivable.

>> Hello, Dr. Cross.

>> I'm sorry, Dr. Harvey. Dr. Cross is with

Mrs. Stewart. No, sir. This is Dr.

Steven's day off.

>> I see. Thank you.

Well, Lieutenant, I think a trip is in

order.

to Ray Willis district.

Dear Ray,

in exactly

55 minutes I will be dead.

Murdered.

First of all, let me explain. I find

myself completely sober, reasonably

sane, and not at all surprised.

It started back in World War II during

the Ewima campaign.

I was a captain in the Marine Corps.

As you know, every captain needs a top

sergeant.

Well, I really had the best.

His name was Joe Leaves.

Hitting the evil beach head was was like

running into a living hell. I guess I

got a little careless

in saving my life. Joe was hit.

He carried a bullet so close to his

lung, surgery was impossible.

During the time the medics patched us

up, we became great friends.

After the war, I watched him build a

home.

I watched him become successful.

We were closer than

than most brothers.

One afternoon, 6 months ago, I sent for

Joe.

I knew I was going to break his heart.

And all I could think about was whether

it wouldn't have been better for both of

us if he had allowed me to die on that

beach that day. [music]

You know, Craig, you're the only guy in

town that could get me out this time of

day, but I was coming over to see

anyway. Oh, yeah. There's a new housing

development going up over at Pedmont.

What do you think about buying a corner

lot and sticking up a new market?

>> Might be an idea.

What's the matter with you, boy? You

look like you had a problem. It was too

heavy to carry. It almost is, Joe. Well,

after all, we've been through it. Can't

be too serious. Maybe talking it out

will help.

It's going to mean throwing 15 years of

friendship right out the window. Well,

if it's a real friendship, it won't bend

easy. Okay.

Are you happy being married to Myra and

Joe? Don't tell me it's none of my

business.

Well, I don't know.

Happy is a word that means a lot of

things. It's a state of being. I never

asked myself.

I got a beautiful wife, a lovely home,

good business. Guy can't expect thing. I

I guess being grateful as good as being

happy.

Not really, Joe.

Perhaps you haven't realized how little

time you've been spending at home. How

many evenings you've given to the

business.

Myra is a fine woman, Joe. When she

married you, she was in love. But no one

wants to be alone all the time. Now

she'd like to do something about it.

Oh, I see.

She told you to talk to me. Did she ask

you to represent her, too? It was more

my idea than hers. I don't follow you.

I don't know how to say it without

making it sound cheap.

People meet with

no thought of being anything but

friends. Circumstances throw them

together.

Then they discover in each other many

mutual interests. They begin to

anticipate their next meeting and then

the next one

until finally

one day they

they both realize they're very much in

love. Okay, don't dress it up. Who's the

guy?

I'm in love with her, Joe. I want to

marry her. [music]

That's the way it is.

And it's the most difficult thing I've

ever had to say to anyone.

Are you sure, Craig?

Are you sure you know what you're doing?

I'm in love with her, Joe.

What do you want me to do?

I'd like Myra to go away,

get a divorce.

You know, Craig, I've always had a lot

of respect and admiration for you.

Leveling with me like this has taken a

lot of guts.

Like I said, a real friendship doesn't

bend easy.

This this

kind of knocked the wind out of me. I

give me a couple of days kicking around,

will you?

>> [music]

>> Yes, Mr. Carlson.

>> Please cancel the rest of my

appointments for the day.

Tired, darling. Did you have a rough day

in court?

>> Had the roughest day of my life, Myra.

>> What was it, Craig?

I

>> perhaps you ought to go home. I'm not

going to be very good company.

>> Something's wrong. I've got a right to

know.

>> I saw Joe today.

I told him about us.

>> Oh,

what did he say?

>> That's what's so wrong, Mara.

He didn't get angry.

He just said give him a couple of days

to think it over.

I guess I helped him die a little today.

I know I did.

Darling,

do you believe that when we first met,

we tried to fall in love?

>> Why? No, certainly not.

>> Haven't we respected my marriage? We

tried to walk away. We did everything we

could not to let it happen.

>> That doesn't make today any easier.

>> I never wanted to hurt Joe.

I didn't think I could possibly fall in

love with anyone else, but I have.

Craig, darling, I'm not ashamed of my

feelings for you.

I'm not afraid of the world knowing the

truth.

I don't believe what we have is wrong.

Don't spoil it, Craig.

[music]

I just dropped by to tell you Mr. Swell

wedding was a real pretty bride.

Funny thing, you were there the night

she was born. I kind of hoped you'd be

there tonight when I gave her away.

>> Oh, I had a million things to do, Lou. I

hope the kids would be happy.

>> Oh, they're a cinch. You never saw two

people better suited for each other.

Tops even mom and me. I know, but

sometimes even the best things have a

way of going sour.

>> Joan, what's wrong?

>> What makes you think there's something

wrong?

>> You can't fool me. Just the other day

when I was in here with a beef about the

branch store, you hardly even listened

to me. You looked like you were a

thousand miles away. Ever since then,

you've been morphing around like like

something was bothering you bad.

You know, Lou,

doing the right thing isn't the easiest

thing in the world.

You got to look deep inside of you. Be

real honest with yourself.

Well, for the past few days, that's just

what I've been doing. Looking down deep

inside of me,

looking for the right answer, and I

finally found it. It sounds like an

important decision.

>> It is,

and a tough one, too. It'll probably

change my whole life. Myra's too.

Something wrong between you and Myra.

>> Well,

I don't think anything could be worse.

Joe, believe me, every married couple

has their ups and downs. Even mom and me

have had some bad moments. But, but

honest, if you just have patience,

everything usually works out fine.

Sometimes, Lou,

sometimes.

Look, do me a favor. Will you mail us on

your way home? Yeah, sure thing.

>> Hello, Myra.

Just wanted to make sure you were home.

I'm going to be home early. I've been

thinking about something I want to talk

to you about. I'll be there in about 15

or 20 minutes.

>> Just remember, Joe, everything usually

works out.

Quit living in a dream world, Lou.

takeover? Sure. Chalk him off. Dust the

place good. And McMillan's already

photographed most of the room. What's it

look like, Lieutenant? According to the

lady, we got a breeze. She said she shot

her husband in self-defense. How come

everybody always shoots everybody else

in self-defense?

>> Now, Mrs. Leeds, I uh I think we got

everything pretty well straightened out.

Would you mind going over that first

part for me just once more? Well, I I

was sitting in bed reading when Joe came

in.

He was wet. He looked furious.

I couldn't imagine what was wrong.

He He just walked over and pulled me out

of bed as if he was drunk or or crazy or

something. Threw me against the dresser.

Said he was going to kill me.

He started for me again.

Then I opened the drawer and took out

the gun and shot him.

He just stood there and looked at me.

Then he fell.

It was terrible.

>> It's going to be all right. You just

rest there for a minute.

>> All right, let's get off the phone. You

know this place is off limits until the

lab's through with it. We dust it before

us. Right. And Ellen, I want those

papers drawn up first thing in the

morning.

No, I'll be there before you. I'm going

directly to the Alban Police

Headquarters.

>> Sergeant, I want this section of the

room covered from A to Z. Several shots

of that nightstand and this dresser

here. Get in close. You know the kind of

stuff I want.

>> Well, cover the place like here.

Planning on a big day in court? The

guy's dead. That makes it a big day in

court.

Any reason to doubt it with

self-defense? Not to hold her on

suspicion of me. Then it's up to you

legal eagles to pick her apart. Oh,

incidentally, if you want to talk to

your client, have at it because I'm

taking her downtown in about 2 minutes.

>> I don't understand it. I don't

understand it at all.

>> What don't you understand?

>> Police. All these questions.

Those men in there taking pictures.

Fingerprints.

I'm afraid Craig.

>> Just routine life.

>> Nothing to be alarmed about.

>> But Lieutenant Bradley's questions

haven't been routine.

They don't believe me, do they? Tell me

the truth.

Lieutenant Bradley plans to hold you on

suspicion of murder.

>> What am I going to do? How can I make

them believe me?

>> That'll be my job, darling.

>> Why did he try to kill me? Why couldn't

he understand?

Mara,

I love Joe as much as anyone could,

and I thought I knew him.

But Joe's actions weren't caused by

sudden anger.

He had several days to think about what

he was going to do.

Had he been successful, it would have

been premeditated murder.

I'm afraid, Craig.

>> Don't be.

I know it's going to be difficult for

you.

Just remember,

I love you.

[music]

[bell]

>> Of course, I meant it. I still mean it.

Moonlight was invented just for you.

Denny, Frank, here's your lead line.

District Attorney asked for Myra Le's

life. He says he'll prove she killed Joe

Leeds in cold blood. I think we get a

new twist this story if we quoted

Carlson. It claims it was an attack of

violence carefully staged and executed.

>> I tell you, no other woman could

interest me anymore.

>> Yeah, it's going to be a this girl's

good copy. If was bugging anybody

besides Carlson, I think this lead woman

wouldn't have a prayer.

>> Court's back in session. I'll call

Rewrite in time for the three star

edition.

>> Oh, that was just the guys. Yeah,

court's back in session again. No, I

don't have to be in there. You can't

take pictures in the courtroom.

>> You were the first officer to report at

the scene of the murder.

>> Yes, sir. My partner and I were cruising

that area when we got the call.

Would you please tell the jury exactly

what you found? Well, Mrs. Leeds and Mr.

Carlson were there when we arrived. Mr.

Carlson said Mrs. Leeds had called him

and as soon as he got there, he called

the police. Were there signs of a

struggle?

>> No, sir. Mrs. Leeds wasn't marked or

bruised in any way.

>> Not that I could tell. Did you see

anything about her clothing or her

person or anything at all that indicated

that there had been a struggle?

>> No, sir. Thank you. That's all. Mr.

Captain,

>> no questions.

>> Sergeant Hill, you are connected with a

crime lab.

>> That's right.

>> And did you note that it was raining the

night of the murder?

>> Yes, sir.

>> Would you please tell the court how that

affected your findings?

>> May I have that picture, please?

This dark spot was one of the first

things we checked out. It's water

probably came from Jolie's clothing.

From the way we can piece it together,

he stood right there and didn't make a

move until he fell from the shot.

>> In other words, your deduction is that

there could not have been a struggle. I

object.

This question calls for a conclusion of

the witness.

Sustained.

>> Did you find any water spots any place

else in the room?

>> No, sir. Thank you.

Sergeant Hill, what makes you so certain

Joe Leeds did not move closer to Mrs.

Leeds than the area of the water stain?

>> To wet a wool rug through that way would

require quite a concentration of water.

That means the victim would have to

stand a spell. But Mrs. Lee said that he

came right in and over to her. Just

answer the question, Sergeant. The

prosecuting attorney is well able to

argue his case.

>> Sorry.

>> What about some of the other people in

that room?

They could have dripped water on that

drug, could they not?

>> We checked that out. The rain had

stopped by the time the first police

unit had arrived.

>> But it hadn't stopped when I arrived.

Couldn't I have stood in one spot long

enough to dampen that rug?

>> I I guess you could have.

>> Thank you, that's all.

And then she stated that he knocked her

against the dresser. It was then that

she opened the drawer, took out the gun,

and shot him. M. Leed said the gun was

in the dresser drawer. Yes. Did she

point out where Mr. Leeds was at the

time she shot him? She said that he was

rushing toward her from where they had

struggled beside the bed. Specifically,

where by the bed? On the left side where

Mrs. Leeds was lying. Did your

investigation bear a conclusion?

>> No, sir. Please explain why. bottles on

the dresser, you know, perfume and

delight. And had he knocked her against

the dresser, well, surely some of these

bottles would have been overturned.

Bradley,

is this one of the photographs you

ordered taken?

>> Yes, sir, it did. Now, do you see

anything anything at all disturbed on or

about that dresser?

No, sir. Nothing.

Go on, Lieutenant.

>> Well, uh, according to Mrs. Leeds, the

spot where Mr. Leeds was standing, uh,

at the time she shot him was about 10 ft

from where he fell.

>> Wasn't that possible?

>> No, sir. According to the coroner's

report, the victim was shot through the

heart and died instantly. In other

words, Joe Reeds would have had to walk

10 ft after he was dead. That's about

it, sir. Your witness.

Lieutenant Bradley,

how many years have you been on the

police force?

>> 22.

>> And during that time, would you say

you've witnessed a number of people

suffering from hysteria?

>> I say so. Yes.

>> And what would you say were the first

signs of hysteria?

Oh, a incoherency,

unable to make a decision, sort of a

lapse in common sense.

And would you say it was likely for a

woman who just killed a man to be

suffering from hysteria?

>> Why, yes. And would it not be within the

realm of possibility for this woman to

mistake her left from her right? come to

a snap judgment of distance and

direction that would be entirely

incorrect.

>> What possibility?

>> And wouldn't it be possible for a woman

in such a state of hysteria to think she

was thrown against a dresser when in

reality she was thrown against the

nearby wall?

>> Well, she could be, but that is all.

Thank you.

[music]

[music]

>> [music]

[music]

>> Hello, darling.

>> Hello, Craig.

>> Hey, you know, you've had a pretty

social day. Three visitors.

>> One was from a newspaper. Lucas Arian

came over to tell me not to worry. And

Carl Holt, he's an artist, an old

friend. wondered if there was anything

he could do. Craig, is it going badly

for me?

>> There's nothing new to worry about, so

don't try to find something.

>> Will it ever be over?

>> Darling, I know it's been a difficult

two weeks for you, but tomorrow should

see the end of the testimony.

>> How does it look?

>> Willis operates like a field marshal. He

doesn't mind losing battles so long as

he wins the war. He'll save his big

ammunition for later.

>> What can we do then?

>> Oh, I've had several talks with Lou.

He's very anxious to help you. I'm sure

his evidence will add a lot of weight.

And I think I'm going to let you

testify, too.

>> All right.

>> Remember, once you're on the stand,

Willis will try to cut you to ribbons.

>> I'm not afraid of Willis or the judge or

the jurors. All I'm afraid of is if

things go wrong, I'd lose you. Oh,

>> not a chance.

Oh,

>> Craig. [music] Beautiful.

No, I I says, "Joe, is there something

wrong between you and Myra?" He said, "I

don't see how anything could be worse."

>> Had you ever seen Joe Leads before when

he was quite angry?

>> Yeah. Couple of times. Matter of fact,

he was quite upset the first time I ever

saw him. Somebody accused him of giving

a dishonest cop, tried to get him in

trouble with the police. Well, Joel hurt

him pretty bad.

Then Joe Leadeds did have a bad temper

when he was upset.

>> Yeah, but that wasn't often.

>> Mr. Kazerian,

the night of Jolie's death,

did he seem normal to you or upset to

you?

>> Well, he was upset. He said he'd been

doing a lot of thinking and had reached

a big decision.

>> Did he tell you what that decision was?

No, except that what he had decided

would change his whole life and my too.

>> That will be all. Thank you. Marian, we

come to that phone conversation Jolie

had with his wife. Tell us exactly what

you overheard.

>> No, that was a long time ago. Just tell

us those things you can remember.

>> Well, I remember him saying for her to

stay home, he'd been doing a lot of

thinking. Wanted to talk it over with

her. And

>> well, I guess that's about all that

happened.

>> In other words, it was Joe Leeds who

definitely had something to talk out

with his wife.

>> That's the way it sounded.

>> Now, Mr. Kazarian,

the defense council has spoken much

about Joe Le's temper. You say you were

present when Joe Leeds beat up a man who

falsely accused him. Now, would you say

that Joe Leeds was quite angry then?

>> Oh, the worst I've ever seen him. But

this fell had it coming to him. He was

always sniping at Joe.

And if Joe Eids was more angry on that

occasion than you ever saw him, why

didn't he kill the man? Did someone stop

the fight?

>> Well, no. We were all glad to see him

get it. Anyway, we knew all Joe had in

mind was to rough him up. He sure did a

good job. And if Joe Leads was more

angered than you had ever seen him, you

claim he had no intention of killing.

Now, can you say on the oath that you've

taken that he was angry enough to kill

his wife?

>> No, I guess not. Thank you, Mr.

Gazerian.

>> And do you recall any instance, Mrs.

Leeds, where your husband displayed a

violent temper?

>> Yes. There was the time just before we

were married. Joe had an argument with

one of his employees. The two men

fought.

Joe beat him so brutally the other man

had to spend the next two months in the

hospital.

>> And were there times after your marriage

when your husband showed a tendency

toward violence?

>> Several.

Whenever anything annoyed him, edgy, if

someone said something that displeased

him, he flew into a temper. We argued

often because of this. Then that night

when he came home wet,

blind with fury, you had good reason to

think he would kill you. You had good

reason to think that Joe Leeds was a man

of violence. That is what you believe,

is it not, Mrs. Leeds?

>> Yes.

>> Do you think any other woman would have

reacted as you did?

>> I know they would. No one wants to kill,

but no one wants to be killed either.

>> You witness

Mrs. Beads,

how long had you and your husband been

married?

>> 2 years.

>> And when you married your husband, what

was your financial condition?

>> I I don't understand.

>> Well, I'm sorry. I mean, were you rich,

moderately wealthy, had a good job?

What? Well, I I was looking for a job

when I met Joe Leeds.

>> And would you say your husband was a man

of means? I mean, did he have some

property? Some insurance perhaps?

>> He had 10 supermarkets from insurance.

>> How much would you say your husband was

worth at the time of his death? That is

including insurance.

I

>> I don't know.

>> Then let me tell you, your husband, Mrs.

deeds left an estate of more than 3/4 of

a million dollars.

That's quite an inheritance for you.

From unemployment to a neat $750,000 in

2 years.

Wouldn't you say that was a very

lucrative two years work, Mrs. Leeds?

>> Objection.

The prosecution will refrain from any

more questions of this nature. That last

statement will be stricken from the

record, and the jury is asked to

disregard it. Mes, when you married your

husband, were you in love with him?

>> Of course.

>> Were you in love with your husband at

the time of his death?

>> No.

>> And in less than 2 years, you no longer

loved him.

Love is a very strong emotion, Mrs.

Leeds. How could you turn it off so

quickly?

>> I I just didn't love him anymore.

>> And you waited until that fatal night to

tell him about it.

>> That's not true.

>> Then when did you tell your husband you

were no longer in love with him?

I I don't remember.

>> Did you ask your husband for a divorce?

>> Yes.

>> And what was Mr. Leed's answer?

>> He just said he wanted to think about

it.

>> In other words, Mrs. Leeds, when you

suddenly told your husband you wanted a

divorce, instead of becoming angry, he

answered he wanted to think about it.

Now, is that correct?

>> Yes.

>> And yet you ask this court to believe

that Mr. Leeds returned home in that

fatal evening and without so much as a

single word tried to kill you. Yes.

>> Then tell us, Mrs. Lee, how do you

explain the fact that when you first,

shall we say, shocked your husband by

asking him for a divorce, he did

nothing?

>> I don't know. I don't know.

>> That'll be all, Mr. Beans.

Myra leads would have us believe that

when her husband reached their

apartment, he immediately made an

attempt to kill her so that she had to

kill in self-defense.

But what concrete reasons have you been

given that Mrs. Leeds felt she was

forced to shoot her husband, only that

he became furious when she told him she

no longer loved him, that she wanted a

divorce? And why did Myra leads claim to

want a divorce in the first place? just

that they were no longer in love. And

yet, not one single witness has been

brought before this court to indicate

that any discord existed between the

leads.

Let me tell you, ladies and gentlemen of

the jury,

there was no discord in the marriage of

Joe Leeds. Only in that wife, Myra, an

ambitious woman. Marriage had bettered

her position, and with Joe Leid's death,

her position was still improved.

the location of the body, the placement

and trajectory of the bullet that killed

leads, the lack of signs of a struggle.

All of these facts facts

fitted against Mara's story of

self-defense.

Could there be an honest doubt in your

minds as to the guilt of this woman?

Well, if there is, let me dispel them

for you. Myra Leeds is given no reason

why she would have wanted to divorce Joe

Leeds except that she fell out of love.

Now,

is love such a fickle thing that one can

fall in love one week and out the next

with no apparent reason? Could Myra

leads have awakened one morning and

decided to ask her husband of two years

for a divorce? No.

Let me tell you what Myra Le did. She

was jobless when she met Joe Leeds. She

saw in him a stepping stone to an easy

life. And when she was ready to move on,

she realized that Joe leads could only

be of monetary value to her dead.

So that when he came home to discuss

whatever it was he wished to discuss,

she shot him.

Myra leads shot and killed her husband

for a handful of gold.

That is why the state charges Myra leads

with murder in the first degree.

Is councel for the defense ready to

address the jury?

>> I am, your honor.

This has been a long and grueling trial,

not only for the defendant, but for the

rest of us as well.

You have heard arguments and

counterarguments, facts and counterfact,

theory and counter theory. And for the

past hour and 15 minutes, you've heard

the prosecution parade before you every

piece of circumstantial evidence,

innuendo, and plain conjecture that he

could muster. Conjecture that would

bolster his claim that Myra Le is guilty

of murdering her husband.

With all of this conjecture, the end

result has been this.

The state claims Myra Leids killed Joel

Leid because her story about the moments

of violence she was faced with differed

from that of the police and because she

could give no clear reason why she

suddenly would want to divorce her

husband.

If Myra leadeds had a sound reason for

suddenly desiring a divorce, a reason

that would measurably add to her

happiness,

even the prosecution knows it would have

no case.

Well, Myra Le did have a reason for

asking Joe Leeds for a divorce. Myra

leadeds was in love with another man.

Now remember, you of the jury are not

here to determine the righteousness of

Myra's emotions as a woman, only to

determine if she shot her husband in an

act of premeditation.

It is not for you to decide whether or

not Myra did the right thing in falling

in love with another man. It is for you

to decide if in telling her husband

about the man she loved, she aroused in

him an anger so intense, he decided to

kill her. So now you ask, who is this

man? Bring him forward to confirm this

story.

Well, I knew Joe Leads better than

anyone.

And I know the man his wife is in love

with.

I am that man.

[music]

>> Any further demonstration of this

character in this courtroom will be

clear.

Percy,

>> my falling in love with my relief was

accidental,

but my wanting to marry her was with

strong intent,

as was Joe Le's intent when he decided

if he could no longer have his wife. No

other man would either. Ladies and

gentlemen, there isn't a single one of

you who wouldn't have struggled as my

relig. Her life was at stake. She acted

in self-defense.

Now that is the story

and that is the truth.

To bring out the truth, your verdict

must be

not guilty.

>> She beat it. Not guilty. The gallery

cheered. You'd caught Navy just by a

touchdown. Attorney asked for my relief.

>> Cool as it says.

>> Didn't move a muscle when the jury

foreman sang out.

>> We get a new twist. There's no doubt

about it. That guy's the biggest

incentive murder has had since the

Chinese invented gunpowder.

>> I wish you happiness.

[music]

>> Picked this up on the way back from

court today.

>> What is

free?

as ancient and enchanting as the

Mediterranean would surrender.

May not be the world's greatest pros,

but it sounded good to me.

>> It must been love.

>> I thought we could be married next week,

take the boat to Rome, then write to

Capri.

>> Oh, darling, it'll be a wonderful

honeymoon.

>> It sounds wonderful, but do you know

next week is almost here? Give me a

little bit more time.

>> The sooner we get away, the better it'll

be for you. From now on, you're not

going to have any reason to think of

anything but me.

>> Well, hi Lou. We'd about given you up.

>> I'm sorry I'm late, but mom wasn't

feeling well and last minute she decided

to stay home.

>> Oh, that's too bad. Well, let me hang up

to your coat.

>> No, thanks. And Myra, I'm awfully glad

everything turned out okay.

>> Thank you, Lou.

Hey, this is supposed to be a happy

occasion.

>> Could I talk to you alone for a minute,

Greg?

>> Something wrong.

It's about Joe.

>> Sure. Let's go into the den.

>> Hi. Well,

>> hello, Henry.

>> Good to see you, Lou.

>> What is it, Lou? It's about Joe and the

last night he was alive, the night my

daughter was married and I dropped by to

tell him about the wedding. Well, just

before I left, he asked me to mail a

letter for him. I put it in my pocket.

Well, I forgot all about it until I put

my tux on again that it's addressed to

you.

Dear Craig, well, like I promised, I've

been doing a lot of thinking. I've been

trying to figure out the best way for

all of us. You see, when I first met

Myra, I figured she was out of my

league. She was interested in things

that I didn't understand, like art and

music. But then, like a boat, one night,

she told me she loved me, and I felt 9

ft tall.

Right then, I said a million thanks. In

a way, it was like the answer to a

prayer.

We got married right away and for a

couple of months, living was paradise.

I didn't love her. I worshiped her. Then

it began to change.

One day, we had an argument. Myra told

me she'd never loved me. It goes without

saying, Craig, that I walked in circles

for days.

Finally, I asked if she wanted a

divorce, and she said yes and asked for

half my business. [snorts]

I got mad because I realized that was

the only reason she'd ever married me. I

told her that no man was going to live

off what it had taken me most to

accumulate.

And that's the way it's been going along

for the past few months.

My love, Fred, but not with you. She's

in love with some kind of an artist.

>> [music]

>> I can't figure out what she's doing with

you, but I know she must have some kind

of a plan.

I'm going to see her tonight. I'm going

to try to keep her. She's no good,

Craig. But I do love her. If she decides

not to stay with me, I I wanted you to

know the truth.

She isn't a woman. Myra is a disease. In

a way, she's already destroyed me.

I just hope she doesn't end up

destroying you.

[music]

[music]

>> [music]

[music]

>> Did I cause trouble by forgetting about

the letter?

>> I don't know.

I don't know.

>> Give me a couple of days to kick around

with you.

>> I never wanted to hurt you. I didn't

think I could possibly fall in love with

anyone else. But I have. Why did he try

to kill me? Why couldn't he understand?

I'm not afraid of women or the judge or

the jurors. All I'm afraid of is if

things go wrong, I'd lose you.

>> Myra leaves shot and killed her husband

for a handful of gold.

That is why the state charges Myra leads

with murder in the first degree.

>> Carl, he's an artist, an old friend.

Wondered if there was anything he could

do.

Mr. Hold.

>> Yes.

>> My name's

>> I know.

>> Great Carlson. Won't you come in?

I have to forgive the appearance of the

place.

My uh canvases have a way of dominating

the whole room. Not bad canvases either.

I'm I'm I'm a great friend because of

Myra quizzel. No, goes back way before

that.

You see, this is a pretty strange

neighborhood. You know what they call

it? Cloud9.

Guess that's because a lot of men who

are just getting started live around

here. Have a lot of dreams, a lot of

idols. You know, now you take the fellow

who lives just uh two doors down. He

just got out of law school. He thinks

you walk right down out of the sun.

Take some of the cases that you've

turned down. According to Charlie, if

you didn't care who you got acquitted,

you could be living like a Maharaja.

>> No, he must be just out of law school.

Well, he's got a lot of other legal

idols, too. But for me, you're my

favorite. Ever since you took Myra's

case.

>> You've known Myra a long time. Since we

were a freshman in college.

I was a music major and I was kneede in

art. You ever hear Myra play?

>> Yes. Plays like an angel. Of course, in

my book, Myra is an angel.

Well, I guess she's told you how I feel

about her.

>> No, she hasn't. It's nothing

earthshattering for anybody except us. I

happen to be very much in love with her.

Going to be married.

When was that decided?

2 years after we left college.

The strange engagement.

The marriage in between.

Well, that was Myra's one big mistake.

We both knew that shortly after she

married that fell. You don't mind if I

work while we talk, do you? I want to

make the most of the sunlight. Go

>> right ahead.

>> You say

Myra knew she made a mistake when she

married Jolie.

People chase different rainbows, Mr.

Carlson. For Myra, it was money. I

didn't have any.

My prospects were terrible. Terrible.

Oh, we had a scrap on that subject. And

then she met this lead fellow. You know

the rest of the story. No, not the point

about her knowing she made a mistake.

That was when we uh met at that exhibit

that afternoon.

Otter was still dry.

At this juncture, I'd like to make a

point of honor, Mr. Carlson. I refused

to see Mara again after that afternoon

till she was free. And she felt the same

way about it.

>> Quite an impass, wasn't it?

>> We didn't think so. I was going to ask

leads for a divorce.

I guess he went sort of crazy. That

awful night was the capper.

You know, Hol,

you've got a lot working against you. In

spite of that, I still may get to like

you. Well, I want you to. But what have

I got working against me? Mara's trial.

Why didn't you offer to help? I did

that day I visited Mara.

She didn't want me to come to see her

again, though, or even say I knew her.

Funny, I couldn't quite figure that out.

I guess it was because she was afraid

our being in love would sway the jury

against her since she was a married

woman.

Funny, it was the very approach that

freed her. That's what makes a lawyer a

lawyer. You're just plain smart.

>> Not always. Well, now I watch that trial

every single day, and you never drew a

miss.

By the way, I would like a crack at

improving your impression of me. Got any

ideas?

>> Oh, my first punch was right. I do like

it.

>> Well, let's be really classical about

this friendship then. Toasted and

cherry. Fling the glass in the

fireplace.

>> I'm sorry, but I've got to go.

>> Oh, too bad. But as far as the toast is

concerned, it's just as well. I haven't

got any fireplace. I will see you again

when I will. You know, that last day of

the trial when you said you were the man

in Myra's life, I didn't think so kindly

of you then. I'm glad Myra straightened

me out on it.

>> Oh, what did she say? Well, it was a

piece of program strategy. Boy, it sure

was a be. That was the best piece of

dramatics I've ever seen. Guess Mara and

I really owe you an awful lot growing

out on a limb like that. Well, goodbye,

Mr. Holt. Bye, Mr. Carlson.

>> [music]

>> Darling, I was expecting you. Be ready

in 3 minutes. In the meantime, how about

making one of your very special

Manhattan?

>> I'm not quite sure I know how to make a

Manhattan.

Craig,

you startled me. I was expecting a

friend.

>> Who knows how to make special man

happen.

>> That's right.

If you like, I can.

>> No thanks. I just wanted to talk to you,

Myra,

about our engagement.

>> Let's not make it tonight, Craig.

>> Why not tonight? Why not this very

minute? Two people in love can't wait,

Myra. That's the way with people in

love, isn't it? I explain, Craig.

Someone.

>> Well, isn't it?

>> Oh, say it, Myra. Say you love me. Say

you're hopelessly, irretrievably in love

with me.

>> Let go of me.

>> I want to hear you say it, Myra. I'm all

you have. Or have you suddenly

remembered there was someone else?

>> I said, "Let go of me."

>> Someone like Carl Holt.

>> All right.

You know,

I met him today. He seems very much in

love. Two men in love with you.

>> Awkward arrangement, Myra.

>> Craig,

what happened to us?

>> It was a mistake.

I don't think so. In fact, I don't think

you ever made a mistake before in your

life.

>> I don't want to see him, Greg.

>> Neither do I. Just the truth.

>> The truth is I am in love with Carl Hulk

and I'm going to marry him.

>> And you were in love with Carl Holt, and

you were going to marry him the day I

met you.

>> I don't want to talk about it.

>> Then let's have someone talk about it

for us.

I received this letter yesterday. It's

from Joe.

>> What kind of a trick is this?

Sit down, my

sit down.

Dear Craig,

like I promised, I've been doing a lot

of thinking. I've been trying to figure

out the best way for all of us. You see,

when I first met Myra, I figured she was

out of my league. She was interested in

things I didn't understand, like art and

music. Mary's in love, Craig, but not

with you. She's in love with some kind

of an artist. I can't figure out what

she's doing to you, but I know she must

have some kind of a plan. I'm going to

see her tonight, and I'm going to try

and keep her. She's no good, Craig. But

I do love her. And if she decides not to

stay with me, I wanted you to know the

truth. She isn't a woman. Myra is a

disease.

The way she's already destroyed me, I

just hope she doesn't end up destroying

you. Joe,

>> I don't believe Joe wrote that letter.

>> You should be able to recognize his

writing.

>> What does it prove?

Only that Joe was a miserable, jealous

man.

>> No, Myra, it proves something much

different. Joe offered you a divorce,

but without any money. You didn't want

it that way, and you knew there was only

one way to get it.

>> You'll have to do more than say it.

You'll have to prove it. I'm free now. I

can do what I want with my life.

>> You had it planned very carefully,

didn't you, Myra?

To

>> get Joe's money, you had to kill him. To

guarantee your freedom, you made me fall

in love with you. I wonder if Carl Hul

would want a murderous for a wife.

>> I was tried and acquitted. Your

brilliant defense freed me.

No one can hurt me anymore.

>> Not even you.

>> This time you're wrong, Myra. Very

wrong.

>> What do you mean this time?

>> You're going to commit another murder?

>> Don't be ridiculous.

>> Yes, you are.

You're going to murder me.

>> You're insane.

No one wants to die. Not even you.

My whole life has meant just three

things.

My love for Joe, my work,

and my love for you.

You've destroyed them all. How much is

there left of me to die?

So there it was, Ray. An ugly little

package.

Myra had killed Jolie and I was an

accessory.

Jolie was dead,

but Myra had to pay

just as I'm going to pay.

There's not much time left, so I'd

better bring you up to date.

I had made plans to give up my practice,

was spending every available moment

keeping Myra constantly aware that

sooner or later I proved to Carl Holt he

was a murderer.

Then I learned that Myra and Carl were

planning to leave for Europe.

Great. Good to see you again. Come on

in.

Hey, we were just about to have a drink.

Want to join us? Oh, no thanks.

>> Well, what a pleasant surprise.

>> Are you sure you're surprised, Craig?

>> What do you mean by that?

>> Oh, just a private little joke. Myra is

certain attorneys know what people are

going to do before they do it. In some

cases, I'd say she was right.

>> Enough talk about lawyers. I've got news

for you.

>> Oh,

should we tell them, honey?

>> No, I I I don't think you'd be

interested.

>> Of course, I'd be interested.

We're going to get married. No.

>> Surprise again, Craig.

>> We're sailing for Paris on Friday. We're

going to be married as soon as we get

there. And it was all Myra's idea. She

wants to live there.

>> In a way. I'm sorry. Sorry. For? Well,

this wasn't exactly a social visit. I

came up with permission of painting.

>> Painting for whom?

>> Myself. I know this is going to sound a

little vain, but I've always wanted a

port. You know, something very

flattering.

Oh, it's a shame you didn't mention it

before.

>> We sail on Friday.

>> Well, how long does it take to do it for

you?

>> Well, it varies. I I usually like 2 3

weeks. Well, couldn't you put your trip

off for that length of time?

>> No.

>> I like your work, Carl. I'd be willing

to pay as much as $2,500.

>> Hey, I'm not Whistler. You know what

about it? 2500 for those two weeks.

>> We don't need money. We have plenty.

>> Now, hold on, honey. I mean, you have

plenty.

>> Well, you're my husband. What I have

belongs to you.

>> Well, I am afraid where money is

concerned, I'm going to be a little

oldfashioned.

I'll do it. When can you make the

sitting?

>> What about tomorrow? That's fine.

Between 3 and 5, that's when my life's

bad. Good. I'll be here 2 weeks. Give us

a chance to get very well acquainted.

I'm looking forward to it. So am I.

Elmyra seems as if your one weakness in

picking men with moral strength. I'll

see you tomorrow.

Come on, Greg.

I expected you, but not quite as soon.

>> Leave us alone, Craig. Don't push me too

far.

>> Is that all you came here for?

I came to offer you $100,000.

Will you take it? Let him go to Paris.

>> No.

>> $125?

>> Not for all the money in the world. I

need those two weeks. I need a time to

finish what I've started. I promise you,

Mara, you're not going to have Carl Holt

or Joe Lee's money.

>> I never realized how much I could hate a

man until now.

>> But not enough to kill me. Not yet. What

kind of a man are you?

>> One who believes in the honesty and

integrity of our court. But that's

something you would never be able to

understand.

>> I understand what you're trying to do to

me.

>> Do you really? You understand what you

did to me when I learned you killed Joe?

Do you understand? In winning you a

quiddle, I became as guilty as you. I

want you to understand, Myra. I want you

to fully understand that we'll have to

pay for what we've done.

>> I'm not going to pay for anything.

You'll pay my

We'll both pay.

I

better for worse, it's finished.

Excellent. Been a very patient subject.

Oh, don't forget tonight

on room about 7.

Greg,

few times you've seen Lara here. Notice

how nervous and jumpy she seems.

Trial was very taxing for her. And I

guess she's anxious to get to Europe.

Both natural reactions.

I don't think you should have any

worries about

Pakistan.

Maybe your party will be just a

prescription that will snap her out of

it. By the way, what are we celebrating?

>> We'll find out in exactly 3 hours. Okay,

man of mystery. I will not press you for

an answer. I'll stay on tener hook. I'll

see you, right?

You wish to order now?

>> No, we have another party coming along.

>> Why didn't you tell me, Craig, that's

coming? What's

>> the matter, Myra?

>> So much to do. Fail day after tomorrow.

>> You think you're the only one who's

busy? Move over. I haven't even packed

yet.

I tell you what, Carl, let's leave.

>> Leave.

>> We could give a message to the captain.

Have him tell Craig that something had

come up.

>> We can't do that. You know that Craig

has been counting on us. He's looking

forward to it.

>> What's so important about it? We'll talk

about that after dinner, [music] Marin.

>> Hello, Charles. Good evening, Mr.

Carlson. I agree.

[music]

>> For dessert, may I suggest Cherry

Jubilee? It's excellent.

>> Oh, no. Thank you. How about you, M?

That'll be all, Charles.

Al Craig, that was a delicious dinner.

French food couldn't be any better. Mar,

do you enjoy your dinner?

>> You told us you'd tell us what this was

all about after dinner, Craig.

>> I uh Oh, it's all right. She's just

anxious. What do you mean anxious? Trip

to Paris and she's about to become a

bride.

>> Craig, I want to know why you brought us

here.

>> All right.

>> Here you are, Kyle.

>> [music]

>> Craig, our deal was for 2500.

I thought I'd double it. That's my

surprise.

>> But why?

>> By helping me achieve an important

ambition.

Well, I

I certainly hope through the years the

painting [music] continues to please

you, Craig.

I'm certain it will.

You see,

to me, the portrait reflected not only a

friendship,

but a great understanding you felt for

the subject. I hope you're never

disappointed. [music]

Well, I must [clears throat] run. I have

a lot of work to do at the house.

>> Kill that one important case [music] you

mentioned.

>> That's the one.

>> Thank you for coming, Myra.

We will see you again before we leave.

>> Yes, you will.

By the way, Carl, there's something I've

been wanting to ask you.

Suppose the portrait of me had turned

out badly.

Suppose you'd realized you'd made a

mistake in the manner in which you'd

handled it. What would you have done?

Destroyed it. Of course. Despite your

fee. Despite anything.

Strange.

I've always felt that the same parallel

existed in law.

Well, I I've got to be going. Good

night.

Night, Craig.

I can't tell you how good it's been

having dinner here with you, Craig. Wish

we could do it more often.

>> Ray, there's something I want to ask

you.

>> Shoot.

>> About the Myra leads trial.

>> Oh my. Why talk over yesterday's

headlines?

You asked the jury to find Mara guilty

of first-degree murder.

[clears throat]

At the end of the trial, the jury found

her not guilty.

How did you find her?

It's important to me, Rey. I want to

know.

All right, Craig.

You're very convincing.

I can understand you're swaying that

jury, but you didn't sway me.

At the time, I still thought she was

guilty. I was sure you did. You know, I

thought about it for a long time. Now, I

know that the the jury brought in the

correct verdict. I've known you too many

years, Craig. You never would have said

what you did just for the dramatic

effect. Another attorney might, but not

you.

No, I admit it. on the Mara leads case.

I was way off base.

Well, thank you, Ry.

Now, there's something I'd like you to

do for me.

>> Hello, Mrs. Leeds. Mr. Carson seeing

you. Thank you, Jenny.

[music]

>> Mr. Leeds.

>> Mr. Willis. Myra and you could make it.

It's getting late. I better leave. It's

been a wonderful evening. Thanks for the

talk, Ray. You've been very helpful.

Beeps.

>> Why did you send for me? Why were you

talking to the district attorney?

>> We were talking about a case. your case,

my

>> this grotesque joke of yours has gone

far enough.

>> You still think this is a joke?

>> You've got to stop it, Craig. Every time

you talk to Carla, the other evening at

dinner, I was terrified. What you're

doing is inhuman. I can't stand much

more of it.

>> You're a murderous, Myra. Anything that

happens to you won't be enough.

>> Craig, the jury freed me. They found me

innocent. All I want is to go away with

Carl. Please understand, for the first

time in my life, I want to live

decently.

>> You don't know the meaning of the word.

At first, I thought Carl Halt was like

you.

But it wasn't long before I changed my

mind.

You fooled him, Myra, just like you

fooled me.

He's too fine to be hurt by someone like

you. I'm not going to let it happen.

>> No matter what you tell him, he won't

believe you. There's no way of proving

that I killed Joe. You're just trying to

frighten me with more threats.

>> Understand me, Myra.

I never once meant to threaten you. I

made you a promise.

What I've compiled in this folder is no

longer theory. It's proof.

The only way you can prevent me from

turning it over to Carl is to kill me.

>> I'm not going to kill you. I'm not going

to kill you.

>> It must be maddening to know that in

just a little while you're going to lose

everything you've planned and killed

for. You see, Myra,

you can't win anymore.

[music]

It was not long before my telephone

began to ring. I knew it would be Myra.

She was desperate. She wanted to see me

right away, but I still had a few things

to do. So, I told her I'd see her later

at my office. I made the appointment for

12:30 sharp. It was now only a matter of

waiting. Time took care of the wait. So,

now the pattern's complete. And it's the

same pattern Joe Leads lived. But this

time, Myra won't be acquitted. That's

where you're concerned, Ry. Because this

time you're not going to have to guess

whether or not Myra is guilty. You'll

know.

You're going to be a witness.

birthday.

[music]

[music]

>> [music]

>> Thank you for being so prompt.

>> You promised me an answer.

>> Here it is. My complete file.

Now, no attorney could get you off. Not

even me. I told you I can't be tried for

the same crime twice.

>> And I told you I'm trying you before

Carl Halt. We'll let him determine

whether or not you're guilty. Or would

you prefer this?

>> I'm not going to kill anyone.

>> Very well.

That affords three of us a visit. Carl,

you and

I'm going to call and ask him to come

right over. After seeing this, if he

still wants to marry a murderous, that's

his business.

>> Craig, don't call him.

>> Craig,

don't make me do it. [music]

Hello,

>> Hello. Hello.

Craig has committed suicide.

What are you doing here?

>> He asked if I could meet him here at

>> Strange told me to be here at 12:40.

I

I'd never expect Craig to do a thing

like this.

This is Ray Willis.

>> The train doesn't get in until 5:30.

>> They come in early sometimes.

>> Hello, honey. Good afternoon.

>> Ah, Rosie, you got a minute? No, please

hurry.

>> My boy Julio, he come home to see his

papa. I go to the station to meet him.

>> Coming home now. It's a bit unusual,

isn't it?

>> Cornelius, you close this door at 5:00.

Take the rest of the day off. That's

very decent of you at 5. You come

tomorrow. You see Julio, you come

tomorrow.

>> Okay,

>> Cornelius, you have a cigar. There's one

on my desk.

>> No thanks. I had one once.

>> You've got a character, isn't it?

>> I suppose that's one way of describing

Mr. Roselli.

>> When did this come in, Corny?

yesterday.

>> Beautiful. What's it going for?

>> £15.

>> Ridiculous.

>> Tell me, Connie, have you met Julius?

>> On one occasion.

>> What do you think of him?

>> I hardly think it's my place to express

an opinion about Mr. Julius. Excuse me.

>> I like you, Connie. I like you very

much. You're tactful. You've got

beautiful manners. And you smell nice.

Heat. Heat.

Julio. Julio.

Hello, Dad. Ah, it is good to see you.

Lend me a hand with this. Come on. Let

me look at you. You have grown in 2

months. You have grown. Don't be silly.

We got a portal.

>> No, we don't want no port. We carry this

ourselves. You have a good trip, huh?

>> All right. [clears throat]

>> You could have knocked me down when I

get your telegraph.

>> How are things at home?

>> Fine. Fine. Julio, I got some news for

you. We got two lodgers now. PGs. I

think you call them. They are very nice

people.

>> Is it necessary to have lodges?

>> Sure, Julio. Oxford is expensive. It is

hard for me.

>> All right, then. All right. Don't shout.

People are looking.

>> Sure. Sure. We get a taxi. Taxi. Taxi.

Taxi. Taxi.

You get the architecture books I sent

you.

>> Yes, thanks sir.

>> Oh, they were expensive. Julio, how's

business?

>> Oh, she not so good. She wake up soon. I

make enough money, Julio. Enough for

Oxford. That's all that matters, huh?

When you get through there, you will be

a big man. How your studies go? Huh?

What you say?

>> Look, Dad. Doesn't it strike you as odd

my coming home before term ends?

>> You got a few days off, huh?

>> No. So,

>> I've been sent down, fired.

>> What you say? You You make a joke, eh?

>> I got drunk a few nights ago. I bashed

one of the bees and that was it.

>> Surely you

as far as I'm concerned, Oxford's over.

I'm sorry. I suppose it's a

disappointment. You

I said I was sorry. Sort of thing could

happen to anybody. No good crying over

spilled milk.

Next on the left, driver.

How much? Five bubbles.

You think

face looks a bit cleaner.

Has been working hard. I told her to

have the place knife for your coming

home.

Hello.

>> You're Julius.

>> That's right.

>> I've heard a lot about you.

>> Anything good?

>> From your father.

>> Amanda, this is my boy Julio.

>> How do you do? I'm very pleased to meet

you.

>> Amanda has come to live with us, Julio.

Huh?

>> Oh. Oh, that's fine.

>> How is Oxford?

>> Okay. Oh, what a noise [music] V makes.

Shall we sit down? Amanda, next to Harry

here, please.

Julio next to me, please.

>> Who's uh who's Harry?

>> He is the other one. He is a nice boy,

eh? Amanda?

>> Well, I think so.

>> Engaged?

>> Not exactly. I believe walking out is

the term.

>> Romantic. Me? Hello.

>> Oh, Harry. This is my boy Julio.

>> Glad to know you.

>> Oh, it's turned killed, hasn't he?

Yes, much.

>> Still, I suppose we must expect it for

the time of year.

>> Yes. Yes.

[clears throat]

What was it like when you left Oxford?

Freezing. [clears throat]

You studying anything in particular?

Julio is going to be an architect.

Benedicttos.

Benedict.

Welcome home, Julio.

>> I'm going to get a new stuff, Julio.

Good stuff. Real antiques, period

furniture. Chandeliers with with

beautiful knobs on. I've never seen so

much junk.

>> You come in with me, miss. Then you can

go on with your studies in the evening.

>> Julius, how nice to see you again.

>> Hello. You're looking extremely well, if

I may say so. Don't you think, Mr.

Roselli?

>> Oh, sure. Sure. And how is Oxford?

>> All right, Dad. I want a word with your

needs. Please do not mention Oxford to

Julio. He has resigned.

>> Resigned? Was not giving satisfaction if

they begged him to stay, but he was very

firm. It would take too much time, Lane.

It is a very tall story. Oh, yes, I'm

sure. Now, if it were Cambridge, I'd

understand. But, uh, being an Oxford.

>> Oh, Mr. Roselli, I've just been laughing

through the stone property list. I'm

afraid I've got rather a shock for you.

>> No.

>> The blooming vasees Alex Stern sold to

us. They're down here. You see now? Yes.

Here we are. Two blooming vasees with

Chinese inscriptions, blue and amber on

a fake background edge with floral

design in gold.

>> It must be some mistake.

>> I don't think so, Mr. Roselli. They're

obviously sen property.

>> Cornelius, I have known Alec for many

years. I will speak with him. There is

something he can explain.

>> But we must inform the police.

>> No, Cornelius. I will speak with him

myself. You leave this to me, huh?

>> Very well, Mr. Roselli.

>> Give me that listen.

>> You'll find everything. She come out all

right. I'll speak with evidence. Excuse.

Well, Julio,

what do you say? Huh?

>> I'll um I'll think it over.

>> Oh, bravo, Julio. That is good. But uh

if I come with you, I want a few

alterations, mate.

>> Of course. Of course.

>> You can get rid of that uh Victorian

grammar for a start.

>> You You mean Cornelius?

>> I mean Cornelius.

>> No, no, Julio. That is not possible.

>> Why not?

>> He is a good man, Julio. He works hard.

He is faithful. He is good to his

mother. And then,

>> well, he has a good education, Julio. He

went to Oxford. And

>> Pete's sake will everybody stop praying

about Oxford. I'm sick of having Oxford

ram down my throat morning, noon, and

night.

>> Julio,

I work hard to send you to the

universities. It's not nice you speak

like this. I want for you only the good

things. Please be nice to colleagues.

>> Sure, I'll rush right out and kiss him

for you. Oh,

>> now listen. All this junk she go, huh?

>> There'll be nothing left to sell.

>> Oh, you don't know your papa.

>> What are you going to use for money?

>> Oh, all in good time, Julio.

>> If you've got money

>> now, a name for the new firm.

Roselli and son. How's that? Okay, huh?

>> If I'm going to be a junk man, I'd

rather do it incognito. And I stipulate

one thing.

>> If you want me to come into the

business, Cornelius goes out of it.

Better get that fixed up first.

>> Alec,

I want to see you.

>> Sure. What's on your mind?

>> Cornelius. Here, Alec. The blooming

vasees.

>> What about them?

>> They're on the police list. Cornelius,

he found them. Lucky.

>> You're telling me it was Lucky. Where'd

you get them? Eh,

>> can't remember.

>> He can't remember. Well, you better

remember pretty quick. This is a serious

business.

>> Daddy, Rosie, remember your blood

pressure.

>> You make me sick. You think this is

nothing but I tell you it is something.

>> It's all right. It's a mistake. Let's

talk it over quietly.

Hi Maxi.

Well, stone me pink if it ain't Julius

Relli. When'd you blow in, professor?

>> Monday.

>> What price your old captain guy now?

>> I've quit.

>> You mean they bumbled you? Come and tell

Uncle Maxi all about it.

>> Yeah, take a load.

>> Thanks.

>> Well, what happened? Get sloshed.

>> More or less.

>> Disgraceful. You know, I don't know why

your old man wasted all that gold on

you. Mom was the same, though. The

amount he spent on me for night classes,

you wouldn't believe. Must have run into

pounds. Well, there's luck. Of course, I

told you before you left, didn't I?

You're not cut out for education there

more than I am.

>> What are you going to do now?

>> The old man's asked me to go in with

him. Look, Maxi, when I came to see you

about as a car, how much you want to

spend? And what about that packard the

one you were looking at now? 400 to you,

Professor. One of our special jobs,

wasn't Nick. Would you uh would you take

something on the card?

>> 100

50.

>> Okay. I'll run up a contract. Right of

interest 10% payable over 12 months. Eh,

I'll keep that.

>> Ah, Connie, I'm glad you spotted those

rouses. I'll have to check up on my

source of supply. You will, won't you,

Cornelius? A rose hath no sweeter scent

than thine.

Mr. Roselli, I refuse to stand any more

of Mr. Stone's insults.

>> He insult you

>> repeatedly.

>> What's he say to insult you?

>> He persists in sniffing me and telling

me that I smell nice. I appeal to you.

Do I smell nice?

>> No, no, no. You don't smell nice at all.

There must be some mistake.

>> There's no mistake. I assure you, Mr.

Roselli. And what's more, I feel it my

duty to repeat to you my warning against

that man.

>> Oh, you mean?

>> I tell you he's a crook.

>> Oh, no. No, no.

>> I expect you think I'm prejudice, but

I've seen him in the company of some

pretty low characters. I'm perfectly

certain he trades with us. No, no, you

are quite wrong about the vase as he

explained to me. Alec, I have known for

many years. He is no proof. Believe me,

you think nice things about everybody,

Mr. I do. Everybody's nice. You are

nice. You don't smell nice, but you

smell all right.

>> Looking and see me in a day or two. I

may have some news.

>> What sort of news?

>> Something might help out with the

installments.

>> Maxi, you're still mixed up with a

camera mom.

I'm happy. I've heard it's a good firm.

>> Well, now that would kill him now,

wouldn't it?

>> Maxi, you can trust me.

>> Of course I can trust you. Look me up.

>> I'll do that.

>> Nearly finished. Be with you in a few

minutes.

>> Would you mind very much if I don't wait

for you? I've got to find a job and I've

got about three places to go to and

Julius said he'd drive me.

>> I didn't know Julius had a car.

>> He's getting one this morning.

>> You like him, don't you?

>> Well, I don't dislike him. Do you?

>> Yes.

>> Why?

>> One thing, I dislike the way he treats

his father.

>> I should imagine Mr. Roselli can be very

irritating to avoid Julius intelligence.

Personally, I take people as I find

them.

>> So do I. And whatever his intelligence,

Rosil's whole life is wrapped around

Julius. He repays him by treating him

like dirt.

>> We're not going to quarrel about him,

are we?

>> I hope not. Not really worth it.

>> Well, there is now. I'll see you at tea

time.

And don't be bad tempered, darling.

>> Hello.

>> Think I was never coming?

>> Not for a moment.

What do you think of her?

>> I'll tell you that when I get back.

>> I've got a program all worked out.

>> So have I.

>> Do you like to dance?

>> Not at 11:00 in the morning.

>> I'll ask you again at 11:00 tonight.

>> Is that you, Julio?

>> No, it's me. Oh, Harry,

come [music] in.

Well, how is the insurance business

today?

>> Not too bad.

Not back yet? No.

I [music] don't understand, Julio.

I hope there has been no accident.

>> I shouldn't imagine so for a moment. Oh,

maybe Julio tried [music] to form me.

I'll pay you my rent, Mr. Silly, when I

think of it, Mr.

H.

I get a book to read. I don't feel very

tired tonight. Thank you, Harry. I I

give you a receipt. Oh, that's all

right.

[music]

>> [music]

[music]

>> Julius,

>> why did you leave Oxford?

>> Because,

well, to be quite honest with you,

Amanda, I didn't think it was fair and

dared. I mean, it's been a bit of a

struggle for him to keep me there. I

know what you're thinking.

probably thinking I'm a slacker.

>> Well, I'm not. I've got plans. All I

needed was the incentive. And you'll

give me that. You're going to be proud

of me, Amanda. I'm going to make money.

I'm going to make it fast.

>> His money is very important.

>> Better days to get you everything you

want.

etc.

[music]

Shh. You wake everybody.

I want to speak with you, Julio, please.

Go ahead.

>> Excuse me.

>> Shall we talk in your room?

Did you fix a job? All right.

>> A job?

>> Yes. You went out to look for a job,

remember?

>> No. I'm afraid I didn't.

>> Amanda, if you don't mind my saying so,

I think you're making a fool of

yourself.

I don't mind.

>> All right. If you want to waste your

life on a good for nothing. Aren't

>> you being rather overdramatic?

>> I'm trying to offer you a piece of good

advice.

>> You wouldn't be confusing advice with

jealousy, I suppose.

>> Right, Amanda, that's the way you feel.

I hope you won't have any regrets.

>> There are other people in the house

besides me. Why don't you ask them?

>> Who you mean? What about Harry? But

>> Harry had as much opportunity as I had

for taking the money.

>> Julio, if you don't take the money from

my box. How you buy a car?

>> I want an answer. Julio.

>> Okay. Okay. I took it. I was going to

put it back.

>> You could have asked me. I would have

given you the money.

>> Ask for 50 quid. Don't make me laugh.

You always make out you haven't got a

penny.

>> Julio,

there's another matter. Amanda, she is

Harry's girl. Harry is a good boy.

Don't take his girl from him, Julio.

Please.

>> Would you like to mind your own

business?

>> Julio?

>> Well, stop preaching at me. I'm sick of

hearing you yap, yap, yap. In future,

I'm going to do exactly what I like, and

you're not going to stop me. So, shut up

and get out.

I shall remember that as long as I live.

Get out.

that aren't here.

>> Julio, he is still sleeping, huh?

>> For once in his life, he got up early

this morning. He went out at 6:00 with

his bags packed. He took her with him.

Who?

>> Miss Amanda.

>> What do you say?

>> I saw them go off in his car. [music]

[music]

Morning, Mr. Rosilli.

You feel all right? Thank you. [music]

>> [music]

>> Come on, boy. What about

>> What do you want me to do?

>> Just drive the truck. Pencil.

>> How much risk of that?

>> Ah, don't make me laugh. It'll be like

falling off a log.

>> What about the night watchman? Look,

professor, don't you worry your little

head about details. Do you want that job

or don't you?

>> Sure, but it's as easy as you say. I'd

like to know why you're cutting me in.

>> Cuz I think you got a future. That's

why. You make good. And believe me, you

got a career ahead of you. Have a look

around you. There's not a bloke in this

joint that wouldn't give his left hand

to do what I'm offering you. That's what

influence does for you. You don't get

anywhere in this world without

influence. I take cabinet ministers. How

do they get him? Does anybody want him?

Nah, not in your life. You made good at

this, and there's no telling where it'll

land you. Yes, I was thinking the same

thing.

>> Yeah. Well, don't you think you want it,

bro? I'll ring you. I'll go see.

Oh, won't you come in?

>> Is Julio at home?

>> Well, he's not in just now, but I'm

expecting him any minute.

I was just making some coffee. Would you

like some?

>> Thank you. I don't want to stay long. I

just wanted to see Julio for a moment.

>> Sit down.

>> Thank you.

I had a postcard from him giving me the

address.

>> Yes, I know. I'm glad he wrote.

>> You are married? Yes.

last week.

Mr. Roselli,

I'd like you to know I love Julius very

much.

>> I am glad. I hope you will be happy.

>> Thank you very much.

>> Now, how we see?

>> Oh, he's very well. Haven't got a job

yet, of course, but he expects to start

one soon. I shall work, too, as soon as

we settle down.

>> Julio is looking for a job, huh?

>> Oh, yes. see it out every day and

appoint the appointment this morning.

>> There is a little wedding present for

you and Julio. I think you had better

keep it yourself then. [laughter]

>> You're very kind.

>> Amanda, I have a friend in Hatton

Garden. You go to him.

I will give you a little note.

It will be a job for you. You You type?

Yes.

>> Oh, yes.

>> Oh, he is a Mr. Dent. He wants his

secretary. I know that. I put it all

down here.

>> Hello. Hello, Julio.

>> Your father arrived a few minutes ago.

>> I didn't expect to see you. Amanda asked

me to write, so I wrote.

I suppose she's told you we're married.

>> Yes, I am glad, Julio.

>> Thanks.

We let bygons go by. Yes.

>> Sure.

>> No. No. Julio,

have you thought some more of Roselian

some?

>> Yes, but I don't think it'll work out.

>> No.

>> Well, I'm pretty ambitious like you

always wanted me to be. And

>> you had architecture? Yes.

>> I've got other plans at the moment.

>> Oh, it is best you do what you want to,

Julio. You will be a big man one day. I

know that.

>> Sure. You come and see me. Say goodbye

to Amanda F. Bye, Dad.

>> Has your father gone?

>> Yes. Funny old boy. Still, I think his

heart's in the right place.

>> Sure it is. How'd you get on?

>> H Oh, all right. They uh they made me an

offer, but I got to think about it.

>> Better look sharp, otherwise I'll be

beating you to it.

>> What's this

>> job for me? Your father has recommended

me to a friend of his in Hatton Garden.

Oh, good.

>> And here's something else

>> from dad.

>> Mhm. A wedding present.

>> 50 quid. He's chucking it about, isn't

it?

>> He gave it to me to look after. I think

that shows some common sense, don't you?

>> This um this hat and garden job sounds

like a diamond merchant, doesn't he?

>> Sounds like it.

Yes. Yes. Thank you.

>> Hello, Ben.

>> Morning, Inspector.

>> Did you contact Armstrong?

>> Yes, sir.

>> Well, he wants us to check on a man

named Alex Stone. He thinks he operates

with the Camden Bob mob.

>> Do we know him?

>> Don't think so, sir. Spent the best part

of his life in South Africa, the

Hannesburg.

>> All right. We'll see if the Joe B have

anything on him. What about Maxi Brown?

I told him to a place called Joe's Cafe

off Creek Street.

>> Keep an eye on Maxi.

>> Yes, sir. There's someone with him.

Never seen him before.

>> I got a cable after Joeberg. You might

send a stenographer in

[music]

boss. Maxi.

I'll get you soulful. All set. 11:00,

right? Make it 9, Maxi.

>> 9? Oh, crack it. That'll throw

everything out of gear.

>> You've got an hour and a half to throw

it back in again.

>> Yes, I know. But of the boys I got to

contact. What's the idea anyway?

>> Orders, Maxi. Orders. Who's [music]

driving the truck?

>> New boy. Giving him a trial.

>> It better be good.

>> He's okay.

>> Good night, Maxi.

>> Good night, boss.

But don't bother to wish me luck. I

couldn't stand the shock.

>> Isn't music inspiring, Marcela?

>> Isn't it?

You never thought of working on your own

again

>> frequently. Why don't you?

>> All in good time, my dear girl.

When the time comes to make the break,

I'll handle it. Don't you worry.

>> Then we go away together, don't we?

>> Far, far away. [music]

>> Together.

>> Together, of course.

>> Darling, you're so clever. I don't mind

who you double cross as long as you

don't double cross me.

Hello, Maxi.

9:00,

right? I'll be there.

Harry,

>> are we on speaking terms?

>> How are you, Amanda?

>> Fine.

>> Happy,

>> of course. What are you doing here?

>> Taking my usual moonlight stroll. I did

my own now.

>> You've strolled a long way.

>> So, have you? Or should I say stray?

That wasn't very nice. It

>> wasn't intended to be. A leopard doesn't

change its spots. Amanda,

if you want me at any time, you know

where to find me.

>> Good night, Harry.

>> Good night,

darling.

Come on, boys. Quick as you can. Come

on.

Come on. You You got a couple of

minutes.

Come on, boys. Hurry up.

proceeding along the Fulham Road heading

towards Wallen Green. A black Austin

van. Stop and detain occupants. They are

wanted in connection with robbery at

Breford Warehouse.

There's a car following us.

Pull around the next turn.

Looking much better.

>> What's the idea of making that brain,

partner?

>> I don't understand why you make so much.

right of you to take him into the

business.

>> Business, Julio,

>> it's supposed to be a family concern,

isn't it?

>> Sure.

>> Is he in the family?

>> No, no, no. Now you listen. You listen,

please. I talk. You listen for once. I

ask you to be my partner. You say no.

You don't think she work out. So,

Julio, I am an old man. I I need a

partner. Someone I can trust.

>> How was I to know you were going to turn

this into a decent store?

>> I told you. I asked you to trust me. You

don't trust me. Cornelius, he trusts me.

He is a good boy.

>> Oh, sure. He looks after his mother. He

went to Oxford.

>> Sure. Sure. That's right.

>> Well, I've changed my mind. Get rid of

him. I'll take over.

>> No, Julio. I don't do business that way.

>> You mean you mean you don't want me?

You You don't understand.

Sit down. We talk. Eh. No. Julio. There

is room for more than one partner in the

business. Now, I tell you what we do. We

make Cornelius the little one. Huh?

>> Nothing doing. It's Cornelius on me.

Please yourself.

>> Curio.

>> Well,

>> you haven't told me what happened in the

car accident.

>> I was drunk.

>> No. The police question Dr. Luigi.

>> Why should they question him?

>> Dr. Luigi, he may have reported the

accident.

>> Were they satisfied?

>> I don't know. That is why it is better

for you to tell me. I'm your papa. I

want to help.

>> You'll help me best by keeping your nose

out of my business. Morning, Mr. St.

You taking me to lunch?

>> Yes. Are you ready?

>> Just let it finish. Go.

Where are we going?

>> Well, I don't know. Oh, it uh depends on

>> depends on what?

>> On whether you've been paid.

>> Well, I have.

>> Go for somewhere expensive.

>> You're a car, Julie, boy. You're a

running card. No mistake. I I wish I

were more like you.

>> What's so funny?

>> Your old man fixes your misses a job in

Aton Garden. And the first thing you

think of is how soon you can do the job.

I'm her hand to you. Don't let the grass

grow under your feet. You're ambitious.

That's what I like about you.

>> What do you think of the setup?

>> Well, I don't know, Julie Bourne. I

really don't know. Honestly,

>> what do you mean you don't know? I'm

putting a red hot proposition in front

of you. I wouldn't come to you at all if

I could do it on my own.

>> All right. All right. Don't get the

needle. It's

>> just I had strict orders about you from

the boss.

>> Orders?

>> Hey, I don't think you handled the last

job too good.

>> Was it my fault the night watchman set

the alarm bell off? If you fixed him

properly, everything would have been

faint sailing. I'll go and see the boss

myself.

>> Oh, you can't do that. You don't even

know who he is.

>> All right, Max. Who is he? I can't tell

you. I couldn't even tell my own

grandmother.

>> I suppose you could if you had anything

like you.

>> O, a little bit of respect for the dead,

please.

>> Anyway, if you gave me a few details,

I'll have something to

>> You can have the details when I worked

them out. In the meantime, you can tell

him that nearly 10,000 quids worth of

diamonds are on their way over from

Amsterdam. And for a 50/50 split, I'll

show him how to put his hands on them.

Get over, Maxi.

Yes.

>> Hello, Maxi here. Look, something's just

cropped up. Can I see you later?

>> What is it?

>> All right, you better come around about

600.

Here

we are, sir.

>> Is this the only empty office?

>> Yeah.

I'm inquiring for a friend.

>> Yes, I think this is about the rent.£3 a

week. I'll give you a deposit. Okay.

>> Would you like it or don't you? Sounds

all right. My fellow is very fond of

diamonds, aren't you, dear?

>> My fellow would like to get a hands on a

few.

>> Well, I'll leave you boy.

>> There's uh just one other fake there,

this ain't exactly my idea. I'd rather

gather that. I'm all excited waiting to

know whose it is.

Julius,

you're a good boy, Maxi. I don't know

what I'd do without you, but I wouldn't

find a way if you don't do as you're

told. What do you mean? Didn't I tell

you to keep clear of Julius?

>> Well, I couldn't help him coming to see

me, could I?

>> Why didn't you pay him off for the last

job, telling me he was through?

>> But why? I don't get it. The folks got

ideas. Why don't we look into it?

>> I'll decide what to look into, Maxi. I

know all about these crackpot schemes

from young amateurs like Julius Felli.

They only spell trouble. Forget it. Why

don't you see? Talk it over with it. All

right. Don't listen to me. Ignore me.

That's the first sensible suggestion

you've made this week.

How can I get in touch with him?

>> That's the stuff. Dead easy. You leave

it to Uncle. I'll get him on the blur

for you.

>> No, wait. I'll see him, but I don't

promise anything. Get him around to the

flat, but telephone him from outside. If

there is anything in this, it'll be

better to keep young Roselli's name out

of it. The less she knows about it, the

better. I'll get you.

>> Tell him to come around about 8. She'll

be going out in a few minutes.

>> She wouldn't be on her way out

altogether, would she?

>> You're very perceptive, Maxi. But don't

forget the old saying about a steel

tongue and a wise head, will you?

>> You know me, Skipper.

>> Yes, I know you.

>> Stern's description tells of a man named

Alexander Conway, alias West, who serves

sentences to 8 years in Johannesburg and

Durban for fraud and burglary. Stop. His

experts save Cracksman and suspected of

having dealt him elicit diamond trade.

Well, Johannesburg police, you might let

Armstrong see it as soon as you can

contact him.

>> Yes, sir. What sort of flat has stone

got on the ground floor? Sir,

>> keep a watch on it. Check on visitors.

Sir,

>> I want to see a gentleman named

Cornelius Hart. Ask him to come and see

me in the morning. He took the Selenian

hearts antique store. Don't speak to him

in front of a sell. Going as though

you're a customer. Get him on one side

and talk to him like a mother. It'll be

easy, sir. You better wear a veil. Yes,

sir. [snorts]

Hello.

>> Yeah,

>> Maxi.

>> Hello, Maxi.

>> I'd like you to meet a friend of mine in

regard to our little conversation. Are

you fixed?

>> No.

>> Yeah.

>> I'm not doing anything.

>> He wants you to get onto his flat at

8:00.

>> What's the address?

Flat E.

>> Flat E.

>> Cat House.

>> Cat Cart House.

>> Rosebury Avenue.

>> Roseberry

Avenue.

>> Kensington High Street. What's his name?

>> Alex Stone.

>> Stone.

Alec

Stone.

Right.

Okay, tell them I'll be around about 8.

>> Spider, what's all this?

>> What do you mean by coming in like that?

>> Like what?

>> Quiet there. Didn't hear you.

>> I'm terribly sorry. I didn't mean to

come in quietly. What is that?

>> Nothing.

Drawing. Sample drawing that somebody

wants to see. I'm taking you around for

now.

>> Drawing of what?

>> Oh, for goodness sake, Amanda. Stop

cross-examining me.

>> Not cross-examining you. I'm interested.

That's all. I thought you'd given up the

idea of architecture.

>> I haven't. I'm going to have a shot at

it.

>> You think I'm a washer?

>> No, I don't. You're going to get a job

in your head today.

>> You bet I am. I'm going to take you away

from that hat and garden merchant. Don't

like the way he looks at you.

>> How does he look?

>> He has a lean and hungry look.

>> Darling, he's fat and he's a respectable

married man with three grown-up sons.

>> They're the worst. Wish me luck. You

know it.

Hello, Julius. Come right in. Nice to

see you. Alex Stone, shake hands with

Julius for a second.

>> We're not going to box, Lexi. Oh, well,

I'll leave you two boys together. Come

on, Skipper. Come on, little boy. Shall

we get to the point? Maxi tells me you

have a proposition. Mind you, after your

little misadventure, I decided you

weren't quite what we were looking for.

I told Maxi, "Sit down."

I'll start the ball rolling, shall I?

For reasons we need not go into at the

moment, you're in the position to say

that 2 days from now, a large

consignment of diamonds will be arriving

from Amsterdam. It'll be lodged in the

safe of a diamond merchant named Dent,

33 Hecking Garden. Right. Quite right.

My wife's typed for correspondence. I

take it that your wife's not involved.

>> Oh, no. No, she's not. Then how do you

prepare to relieve Mr. Dent of his

diamonds?

In the next building to dance, there's

an empty office on the second floor.

I've taken those. You've taken it on

behalf of a friend. You're the friend.

In the morning, I'll telephone the

caretaker and give him your name. All

you'll need to do is produce a quarters

rent to move in, and you'll have to do

that right away. The diamonds are

arriving on the 4th. They'll be lodged

in dense safe and collected by a client

on the 7th. Do you mean to say you've

extracted all this information from your

wife without her suspecting anything?

>> I hope so. She must be a model way. She

is

now. Uh, that's a dense office. I've

seen it. The safe lies here that's

embedded in the center of the wall. This

is the empty office. So, the back of the

safe will be about there. I reckon it'll

take about 6 hours to get through that

wall. Probably about 18 in thick. And we

may have to joist up the bricks to stop

them from falling. You'll think of

everything, don't you?

>> I try. I can start getting the bricks

away anytime from now. Back to the safe

one to present much difficulty. But of

course, that's up to you. How do you

know I can handle safes? I don't. But

you can, can't you? As a matter of fact,

they're my specialtity. And the settle

in torch should know this job. I thought

you know No, no, no. It's too noisy. The

back's comparatively thin and the settle

torch will do it. You better take over

the office yourself right away. Start

shifting some of those bricks. I'll give

you cash for the rent. What name shall I

say? Greersonen.

You better say it's to be the head

office of a firm of antique dealers.

How do you know you can trust me?

>> I don't trust you. I'll be with you on

the job. We divide on the job. 50/50.

That may as well be understood before we

go any further.

>> I'll have to have Maxi. Why? On a job

like this, Max is indispensable.

Nicely planned. I congratulate you.

I suppose a smart boy like you has

already thought how to get rid of the

stuff once you've got it. Or have you?

>> Not yet. Won't be easy.

How do you propose to get rid of yours?

That's my little secret. If you like,

I'll dispose of the lot and we can

divide up in hard cash.

>> I'll think about it.

>> All right. A word of warning. This is

strictly between ourselves. Right.

>> Right.

>> Don't mention my name to anyone. Not

even your wife or your father.

>> Hardly on speaking terms.

>> If this gets out, you certainly won't

be. Well, here's to Operation Diamond.

>> You say you've never seen these before,

Mr. Hard. To the best of my knowledge,

inspector, you appreciate, of course, a

number of different types of articles

that pass through my hands from week to

week. And the blue Ming is a very rare

piece, isn't it? Indubitably. And they

go,

>> I said indubitably. Oh, yes.

See these? Have a good look at them. May

I ask what they are? You may. They're

commonly called stickers. I'm told

antique dealers use them on goods that

go in pairs or lots. The firm that makes

them designed that type especially for

Mr. Roselli.

Surely Mr. Hart, you must have seen

hundreds of them in your shop. Well, now

that you mention it, you have two of

them were found on the base of the Blue

M. You probably put them there yourself.

That's how we know they went to Relli

after they were stolen. Didn't you know

they were stolen property, Mr. Hart?

>> Well, I would hardly put a mark of

identification on them if I did. Then

you do remember seeing them. And of

course, Mr. Relli didn't know they were

stolen property either. Certainly not.

How do you know he didn't?

>> Because

>> because you asked him, Mr. Hart.

>> Inspectable, I will stand this

persecution no longer. I can see that I

have been lured here the deliberate

intention of imputing Mr. Roselli's

honesty. Well, sir, you have failed

miserably. Like Caesar's wife, Mr.

Rosselli is about suspicious. Good day,

sir.

Just one moment, Mr. Hart. Well, you

know a gentleman by the name of

Alexander Stone. Likely. He's a business

acquaintance of Mr. isn't he? I believe,

sir. Thank you.

>> Excuse me. May the inspector have his

hat?

Thank you.

What do you make of that, sir?

At the moment, I'm trying to figure out

what Caesar's wife had to do with it.

You might get me Armstrong's latest

gentleman sled, sir.

Hello,

Alex here. Don't ask questions, just

answer.

>> Can we make it tomorrow night instead of

the 6th?

>> I think so. I might need a bit of help.

>> Right. I'll be around later to look at

that wall.

>> Okay. Goodbye,

Marcella.

>> Oh, there you are. What about a drink?

>> No, thank you.

>> What's happened to you? I'm having one.

>> Everything going all right, Alex?

>> Yes, everything's under control. You are

keeping this job to yourself, aren't

you?

>> Of course. Why?

>> Just wondering. Certainly too good to

share with anyone except me.

>> Naturally.

>> Aren't you going to tell me something

about it?

>> My dear girl, I've already told you all

you need to know. You got your ticket,

haven't you?

>> For the 6th.

>> Mhm.

>> And you'll be on the same plane,

>> of course. South Africa, here we come.

>> On the 6th.

>> Look, what are you worried about?

>> What name are you using?

>> Uh, Jefferson. Simon's doing a passport

for me.

>> Good day, Simon.

>> Well, that reminds me. I promised to

meet Simon at 6:00 to collect it. You

better get some things packed. I'll see

you later.

>> Alex,

>> you remember what I told you about

double crossing me?

>> What about it?

>> Don't forget it, will you?

>> You have a nasty suspicious mind,

Marcela. In fact, you're a woman.

>> Women wouldn't be suspicious, Alec, if

it weren't for men.

Get me Ford's travel agency, please.

>> Ford's travel agency.

>> Oh, my name is Mrs. Jefferson. My

husband's traveling on the midnight

plane for Johannesburg on the 6th.

>> The sixth? Madam, I'll just make sure.

Mr. Jefferson changed his booking to the

Madam and perhaps you'd remind him he's

going to be on his errors.

>> A single ticket?

>> Yes, a single ticket, madam.

>> Thank you.

>> That's stone. All right, back to the

yard.

Who is this?

>> How's it going? No, but sure. I've got

to watch the noise. You're doing fine.

We haven't talked about this. You take

me far.

Come have a drink. You've earned it.

>> Julius Relli. That's him, sir. Saw him

once with Maxi Brown and a couple of

nights ago. Came out of Stone's flat.

>> What time did you see Stone at Eden

Garden?

>> About 20 minutes ago.

>> I'll buy later on and have a word with a

career. Take this with him. See if he

recognizes young Rellion.

>> Right, sir.

Good evening, madam. We're closed for

business.

>> No, I want to see Mr. Rosselli.

>> Oh, yes. Your name, madam.

>> Well, just tell him it's a friend. It's

urgent.

>> A friend? Very good, madam.

>> Oh, Mr. Roselli, there's a lady to see

you.

>> No.

>> This way, please, madam.

>> I'd like a word with you,

>> please.

Well,

>> Alex planning a job on his own. He's got

his eye on dents at Hatton Garden.

>> Dents? Eh,

>> some diamonds have come in and Maxi got

wind of them.

>> Who told you this?

>> I was there when Maxi gave him the gem.

They're cutting you out, Rosie.

>> When [music] is this to take place?

>> I think tomorrow night. Alex got a seat

booked on a late plane.

>> He's leaving for South America. This is

the biggest job he's pulled and he's

keeping it to himself. I call that

pretty mean.

>> When you are my age,

you must learn to be more philosophical

about these things.

>> You mean you're going to let him get

away with it?

>> No, I am not so philosophical.

>> What are you going to do?

>> Leave this to me. I promise you that

Alex [music] will not take that trip to

South America. Good night.

>> I'd have fixed him myself.

>> Good night, Marcela.

>> [music]

[music]

>> Hello. What's new?

>> Just come in, sir. It's marked urgent.

Take a look at that.

An attempt will be made to raid dense

safe at 33 Heaten garden tonight. One of

the men concerned is Alex Stone.

And who sent them?

>> Now we know why Stone and Julius Roselli

have taken the office at 32.

>> Also explains why the old man's

daughter-in-law is working for Dent.

>> Exactly. He gets her the job so that she

can tip him off through the sun.

>> I don't agree. If Julia is mixed up in

this, I shouldn't think knows anything

about it. Are you suggesting the old boy

doesn't know his own son is working for

the Camden mob?

>> I've watched the old man for 3 months.

He idolizes that boy. The last thing he

wants is to see him turn croak.

>> All same. He may turn up tonight.

Whether he's in on this or not,

>> I doubt it. The old boy is the fence. He

needs the others to do the dirty work.

>> Yes, sir. But this time, Julius is the

one that'll be doing it for him. He

waits till father hears about that.

Heat. Heat.

[music]

[music]

Heat. [music]

[music]

[music]

Heat.

[music]

>> [music]

>> It's Mr. Blind to see you again.

>> Training.

>> Good night.

>> Good night.

>> [music]

>> Hello.

>> Can I talk to you?

>> Yes. Come in.

>> Julia,

>> I rang several times.

>> You usually come home till after 8:4.

>> Is he working?

>> Yes. What did you want to say to me

about

>> Amanda?

>> Nothing.

>> Did you know that Mr. Dent was expecting

a very special parcel from Amsterdam

today? Parcel containing diamonds? Yes,

I did. Why?

>> You mentioned it to anyone.

>> No,

>> Julie.

Harry,

>> what's all this about?

>> Did you, Amanda?

>> I may have mentioned it to Judice, but I

really don't see what it's got to do

with you.

>> Does the name Alex Stone mean anything

to her?

>> Are you sure?

>> Stone is trying to get those diamonds.

>> I didn't know. But

>> I may as well tell you, Amanda, that I'm

a police officer.

I'm sorry, but there it is.

Ever since I've known you, I've been on

special duty.

Stone is one of the people I've been

watching.

Julius is another.

>> No, it isn't true. Julius isn't a crook.

>> Well, I hope you're right, Amanda, but I

think I ought to tell you he's been seen

a lot in Stone's company lately.

>> [music]

[music]

>> Heat. Heat.

[music]

Here

[music]

[music]

she comes.

Mr. Rosellian.

>> Yes. Did you want to see him?

>> Yes, it's very.

>> What is it, Amanda?

>> May I speak to you?

>> Come.

3233 Hatton Garden. You say you have

found a plan of these officers?

>> Yes. I think Julie's his helping stone.

He was worried about not getting a job.

He hated the idea of me working while he

was doing nothing.

But Harry says the police know about

this. So if Julio goes with Stone, we've

got to stop him. Please, can't you help

me? It

>> will be too late to stop him.

>> There anything we can do?

>> You'll come with me.

I am

headquarters here. Sir, Sergeant

Armstrong has reported that Roselli has

just left his house. Proceeding into the

dinner taxi. The girl is with him.

>> Inspector Bl here. Tell Sergeant

Armstrong to keep Brucelli in view until

he surely is making for Hatton Garden.

>> Anyone gone in?

>> Please sir, young Zillian Max.

>> Good. The old man's on his way. We'll

wait until we get him inside.

>> Too many across the street. They look

like dicks. Have a look.

It's all right. They've gone.

How long's it going to be?

How long, Stone?

10 minutes.

No sign of Roselli. Fire escape at the

side of the next building. You might try

to make for it.

>> Got it covered?

>> Yes, sir. I put Phillips there.

Right.

This is my fault. A quickly driver.

>> Why do you say it's your fault?

>> When Julia was young, I was very poor.

His mother always wanted the good things

for him. When she died, I promised he

would have these things.

I told her he would be a big man one

day. She was very happy.

Soon I found out how to make money to

send Julio to the public schools.

I bought stolen jewelry. It was very

easy. Soon I had men working for me.

They robbed. I sold.

>> You did all this for Julius.

>> Crime is a habit, Amanda. Once you

start, you cannot finish. When Julio

left, there's no more need for crime. I

kept saying to myself, "Tomorrow this

finish.

Tomorrow. Always tomorrow.

>> So this man stone was working for you.

>> Stone, Marcel, Maxi Brown, Okconor,

there were several more.

It was hard to finish with so many. Stop

here, driver. Please. I bring Julio. You

wait here. I bring you.

You wait for me, please.

He's

gone up, sir. You make for the roof.

>> Well, give him a minute to get inside.

All

right, Mexi. Okay, but for pizza.

How long now? Couple of minutes.

Anything happen? Any minute now.

>> You blundering idiots.

cops. Come on. [music]

Come on. This way,

Julio. This way.

Dixie Roden. [music] I don't know.

[music]

>> Why?

Why don't you ask Larry?

>> Why,

Mariam?

Marry him.

Here

[music]

[music]

he comes.

>> Good evening, Mr. Foresight. What Mary

and Dale have to say?

>> Nothing. She's unable to talk. Her

condition is very critical.

>> Does she know her husband's dead? Not

yet.

>> Well, now it's going to be tough on her.

>> They were crazy about each other.

>> Yes, they were.

>> Tell us what gives on the district

attorney spot now.

>> I shall continue as district attorney

until my successor is named. That's all

I can say now. So, uh, if you'll excuse

me.

>> Thanks, Mr. Foresight. Good night.

[music]

>> [music]

>> your car's back here, John.

All right, Mitch. [music]

Shouldn't try to duck like that. Looks

bad at a time like this.

>> What do you want?

>> No, the lowdown.

>> I gave the press an interview.

>> I want an exclusive.

>> I have nothing to say that you can't

read in the other papers in the morning.

Now, now, John, I've got an angle that

they don't know about.

>> You have?

>> This is for you and me.

>> What is it?

[music]

>> This happened some time ago. I dropped

into your office to say hello. Nothing

[music] special. Nobody was in the

reception room, so I strolled over to

the desk, saw the papers on it. [music]

I can read upside down and I like to

keep in practice on papers that might

give me a good story. [music] So I

leaned over for a good look, but my arm

hit the ashtray and knocked it over.

Grabbing for it, I struck the key that

opened the inter.

>> It needs a little harving on.

>> Not at my expense.

>> Your angle on this is

>> it's important to me. My health may keep

me inactive, but I'm still conscious of

my position and reputation

>> as I am of mine.

>> Your ambitions, you mean? If I have to

curb them, I can. Don't make it

necessary.

If I have to cross you in this Logan

matter, I will.

>> I am warning you. It's at your risk.

>> I'll take the chance.

>> I won't let you. I'll stop you at any

cost.

>> Hi, sugar.

>> Good morning, Mitch. What are you doing

here?

>> Waiting for you to make it a tusome. I

played a hunch you'd be in here where I

could pour out my heart to you.

>> That's assuming you have a heart.

>> You're right. I haven't. I gave it to

you.

>> Is that what you call it?

>> Oh, let's stop playing around, honey.

How about you and me taking in the

sights again tonight?

>> I'm sorry. Some other time. I have

something better on for tonight.

>> The district attorney?

>> No, just an assistant. But maybe he will

be district attorney.

>> Not bad. And with you, he might make it.

>> What you're intimating is preposterous.

>> Still, there it is.

He wouldn't care to tell me what Larry

meant.

>> None of it meant anything. is one of the

very few arguments I ever had with him.

>> Should there have been more?

>> Stop it, Mitch.

>> Larry was going to take over your job as

district attorney tomorrow, but he gets

killed tonight.

You know, nothing about this adds up.

Good night, John.

[music]

>> [music]

[music]

>> Hi Mitch.

>> Hi hun. Better?

A little

>> pretty bad mess, wasn't it?

>> Too bad.

>> What happened?

>> Long story.

>> Going to tell.

>> Uh-uh.

Too long.

>> The whole town's yelling for the

lowdown.

>> They could ask Larry. Or could they?

>> No. You see,

>> you mean he's dead?

>> Yes, he is. Honey,

>> I knew it had to be that way.

And Dixie Loen,

>> he's dead, too.

>> So, there's just you now. You'll have

[music] to tell.

>> Maybe later.

Just you exclusive.

>> You always were exclusive, honey.

[music]

>> [music]

>> and help you sleep.

[music]

There's so little time

and so much to tell.

It started that day we we met at the

courthouse.

>> [music]

>> Somebody wants something from the

assistant VA. They call him Lucky Larry.

Now I know why.

>> Why?

>> He's going to see you. Know him?

>> No.

>> He's not bad.

>> I hope not.

>> What's your problem, beautiful? Maybe I

can help.

>> Who are you?

>> George Mitchell. Mitch to my friends.

You can call me Mitch.

>> Oh, of the Tribune.

>> Flattering and right. Sees all, knows

all. Except your problem.

>> I'm going to ask him for a job. I hear

he needs a new secretary.

>> He does. And he's got one. What's your

name?

>> Marian Langden.

>> Oh, beautiful. Beautiful. But should be

changed. The Langden. I mean,

>> come with me, honey. Look at that.

>> Marian, may I present your new boss, the

Honorable Lawrence Dale. Larry, you

lucky person. This is your new

secretary, Miss Marian Langden.

>> How do you do?

>> You may be right at that.

>> I'm always right. Well, that's all for

now. I'm taking her to dinner. She'll

report to work at 9:00 a.m. tomorrow.

Then you can work out the financial

details.

>> But Mr. Mitchell,

>> I said Mitch to my friends.

>> Oh, that's all right. I'll keep the job

open till morning.

>> Thank you, Mr. Dale.

>> You'll be calling him Larry in a week.

Heat. Heat.

>> [music]

>> I hope Mr. Dale doesn't

>> forget it. Larry wouldn't dare not give

you the job.

>> The powerful Mr. Mitch.

>> No, beautiful. [music] The powerful

tribunal for which I work and which

Larry Dale wants on his side by way of

my column [music] when he runs for

district attorney.

>> Is he going to? Well, he's got that look

in his eye. John Foresight's [music]

health just about bars him from trying

again.

>> Can he win?

>> Maybe. [music]

Look, hun, you're top shelf. You could

get a job any place. Why'd you pick on

Larry Dale? Or did you see his picture

in the papers?

>> Yes, I [music] saw it.

>> And that profile made you come running?

>> No, not his looks. [music] What he did?

>> You mean the Dixie Logan case?

>> Yes.

>> Well, that was his best show so far.

Tell me more. [music]

>> I was there and I'd worked for

[clears throat] lawyers. I wanted to see

the Logan trial because I wanted to know

more about court procedure and

[music]

and I will prove beyond a question of a

doubt the guilt of this ruthless,

soulless criminal known as Dixie Logan.

And I saw it was the defendant, Dixie

Logan.

>> Thank you, Mr. Collins. [music]

>> You're sure, Mr. Borman? Positive. The

man was Dixie Logan. You're out last.

>> Orman and Collins lied and you know it

because you paid him to lie. Your honor,

I must

>> You're trying to railroad me with purged

witnesses because you know I'm not

guilty.

Dixie Logan came here recently [music]

to carry on his career of crime.

There is no room in this city for

murderous crooks like Logan.

The only room we have is in the state

penitentiary.

I ask you to bring in the verdict that

will send him there.

We the jury find the defendant guilty

[music] as charged.

And so I sentence you to the state

penitentiary to serve 20 years at hard

labor.

[music]

I won't be gone 20 years, Dale. [music]

I'll be back for you, and I'll pay you

what I owe you in full.

>> I knew then I wanted Mr. Dale for my

next [music] boss. So, when I heard he

needed a new secretary, yes, I went

running. He's brilliant. He's going

places.

>> An [music] opinion shared

enthusiastically by Mr. Dale.

>> But not by you.

>> Oh, I like Larry. He's made a good

record as far as he's gone.

Now there's a nice guy, Gus Miller.

[music]

He thinks he really owns this town or

ought to. One of the big shots of our

underworld here. Probably the biggest.

>> Very interesting.

[music]

>> [music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

>> Hello, Mr. Miller.

>> Hello.

Dian,

>> he'll be back shortly.

>> I'll wait.

[music]

[music] Heat. Heat.

[music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

I won't wait here.

>> All right, Mr.

[music]

[music]

Sorry I was delayed. Why didn't you gone

home?

>> I wanted to finish this brief.

>> Nonsense. I don't forget we're going to

the theater of the night. Uh, any

messages?

>> Oh, uh, Mr. Miller was here.

>> Miller? What did he want?

>> No message except to tell you that he

was here.

>> I see.

Well, pick you up a

>> All right, Larry.

>> Hey, Josh.

>> Hello.

>> I thought you had gone.

>> I will be in a minute. Is it cool

outside?

>> No, warm. Is it all right if I start in

there?

>> It's a good place to begin.

>> Yeah. Things always need cleaning up

around a courthouse.

[music]

[music]

>> [music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

>> Come on, Charlie.

>> What do you want?

>> You've been a bad boy.

What do you want?

[music]

>> [music]

[music]

>> It's the plate elevator.

>> Yeah, Charlie. We've got it all fixed

for you. You first.

[music]

>> [music]

>> What about this?

>> I spotted him when I was in your office.

He was one of Dixie Logan's men, so I

had the boys take care of him.

>> But you can't do these things right at

my front door. Why don't you get him on

the outside?

>> We can't take chances. Like I said, he

was one of Logan's men, and you know why

he was there. If he got you, he got us.

We wouldn't like that.

>> How'd he ever get to be a courthouse

janitor anyway? How would I know that? I

don't run the employment office.

>> Maybe you better watch it.

>> The blue- noses are beginning to yell

about the crime wave.

They're always trying to ace a stool

pigeon into a spot where they can get

the lowdown.

How about that girl in your office?

>> Marian? Yeah, the one you're so crazy

about.

>> Am I?

>> Well, ain't you? You're always going out

with her.

>> Maybe I have good reasons for that.

Believe me, my emotions are completely

under control.

>> I don't trust her.

She's absolutely honest and on the

level. I'm sure of that.

>> That's what bothers me. She looks nosy

to me.

>> She's been with me for 6 months now, and

I haven't seen a sign of anything.

>> That doesn't mean anything. I don't

trust her. Play safe. Fire her.

>> Yeah, before she does find out

something.

>> It's good insurance. Fire. Well, that's

ridiculous. Don't you ever have a hunch?

I have.

What gets you gets us. Don't forget

that. And we want to see her fired.

>> Well, now that that's attended to, how

do you feel, Larry? You look tired.

>> I am. He's got a lot of things to do

since this Dixie Logan escape.

>> Any trace of him yet?

>> No. The police must be blind.

>> He won't come here, will he?

>> He'd be insane if he did. I'm sure he

won't.

>> I uh No, he threatened you. You're not

afraid, are you?

>> Of course not. All criminals threaten

their prosecutors. Never means a thing.

We'll take a letter, you

second thought, never mind. I've got to

see Mr. Foresight. He's leaving this

morning.

>> I know. How long will he be gone? He

says until he's entirely well. 2 months,

maybe three or more.

Private secretary eventually knows all

of her employer secrets anyway. Why not

this one? I need your help. [music]

>> What kind of help, Larry?

>> I have to write this letter by hand

later, but I want to see it first. Well,

how it sounds. And I want you to tell me

what you think of it.

>> Of course.

>> Well, here goes.

My dearest,

I trust this will [music] not come as

too great a surprise to you.

I'm sure you've known of my deep feeling

for you from the moment we met.

I know now that I could never get along

or be happy with anyone else.

Sometimes of late, I've even dared to

hope.

I'm sure we will make a wonderful team

throughout our lives.

So, very humbly, very hopefully.

With all the love in my heart,

I'm asking you to marry me.

And there it is, Marion. How's it sound?

It's It's very beautiful, Larry. She

>> Thank you. I hoped you'd like it.

>> Please address that to Miss Marian

Langden, County Courthouse.

>> Will you marry me?

>> Oh, Larry, I thought you'd never [music]

ask me.

>> You will then right away. Why do we

wait? This is a 3-day state, but you can

get a license tomorrow.

>> See, this is Tuesday. We can be married

by Friday.

>> Friday will be fine. That'll give me

plenty of time.

[music]

[music]

[music]

>> [music]

>> Let her have it the second she steps out

of that door.

>> Yes. Where's Judge Conroy in?

>> What? Judge Conroy, is he in?

>> Where? Come in. Thanks.

>> Marian. Marian Langon. Dog Garnet. Good

to see you. Been over a year. Known her

since she was a chick.

>> I told you we had always been a very

close friend of the family.

>> Close. I'm practically a relative now.

Young lady, what are you up to?

>> Joel, this is Lawrence Dale.

>> Not the next district attorney.

>> We think so. He's also my fiance. We

want to be married by you. I told him it

would have to be you.

>> Better not be anybody else.

>> Well, what are we waiting for? You got

the license, young.

>> Oh,

>> here we are, sir.

>> You're getting the finest girl in the

world, Mr. Dale.

>> I know that you are.

>> We'll need a witness. Uh, Clen.

>> Yes.

>> Clen, you be the witness.

>> This is Clem Sparks, my deputy.

>> Are you young people? Just please join

hands. That's right.

>> Now, by the power invested me.

>> You'll be coming out of there now.

Weddings are a lot easier to get into

than out of. Dale's getting out of this

one quick.

>> Thanks very much.

>> I don't have to wish you luck, Mr. Dale.

You've already got it.

>> Yes, I know. Thank you again, judge.

>> Goodbye, Joel. Come and see us.

>> I sure will, Marion. I sure will.

>> You first, my dear.

>> Right is always first.

>> I'll hold you to that.

>> You hit Marion.

>> You all right?

>> Yes, I'm okay. But it was close.

>> I wonder who could have gun it.

>> Somebody gunning for me, of course.

>> You mean you have enemies like that?

>> Every man in my kind of position has

enemies.

>> Anyone you could pin this on? I think

so. I believe it was Dixie Logan.

>> Well, he'll be kind of hard to run down.

>> I'll get him.

>> Oh, we'll keep this quiet, will we,

Judge? I don't want any newspaper

blizzard on it.

>> I reckon so. There's not much we can do

anyway. Did you get a good look at that

car, Clen?

>> No, they got away too fast.

>> Well, folks that heard it'll think it

was backfire anyway. We'll keep mom

about it. Thank you, Judge.

>> Thanks again, Joel. And don't worry

about it.

>> Lots of luck to you.

>> Thank you. Good night.

It was Dixie Logan. I'm sure of that.

I'll get him.

>> I don't think it was Dixie Logan. And I

don't think they were trying to get you.

>> What do you mean?

>> I'm not very hard to distinguish from

you. And there was plenty of light

coming through that door. Only one shot

was fired at me. If they had wanted you,

they would have waited until you came

out and fired again as often as

necessary.

>> No.

>> Why should anyone gun for you?

>> I don't know. Do you?

>> No. But I will. I promise you that.

>> It was someone who knew exactly where we

were, why, and when. Does that help,

honey?

>> It will.

Well, we're home at last. Safe. Try to

forget about it, dear. Let's not have

any shadows now. After all, tonight is

our wedding night.

>> Yes. So it is. I mean, we can make it a

honeymoon anyway, right?

>> No, Larry, we can't.

>> Why not?

>> I don't intend a honeymoon with you now

or anytime. I know exactly why you

married me, and it wasn't love.

>> What do you think was the reason I

married you?

>> That lovely old law. A wife can't

testify against her husband.

>> Why should I do that?

>> Something convinced you that I knew too

much, and I do, and you were afraid of

what I might do about it. Are you trying

to tell me that you did this

deliberately?

>> Very. If I could find the well-covered

tracks of your crookedness, what makes

you think I couldn't see through your

marriage offer?

>> You must have had a better reason than

that. If you have any evidence,

>> I have, and you're sure of it.

>> But why didn't you use it then to break

me instead of putting yourself in a spot

where you can't say a word?

>> Maybe I want you to be the next district

attorney.

>> What do you know? For one thing, I know

your setup with Miller, Carter, and

Blake, and how you keep the law away

from them and smash anyone who tries to

muscle in.

>> You didn't learn all that through your

dictaphone.

>> What dict?

>> Don't be koi with me. The one running

from my bookcase into your office

closet.

>> My closet?

>> Yes. I discovered it and traced it. I

found the receiver in the pocket of your

top coat hanging in that closet.

>> You what?

>> I found it in your top coat pocket.

>> I don't know what you're talking about.

I put nothing in my pocket.

>> But who else would? Someone else on your

trail maybe. I haven't touched that coat

in weeks.

>> Must have been old Charlie the janitor

the Dixie Logan's man. He was in that

office

>> and he's dead. Maybe you're saved again.

>> Who else knows what you know?

>> Nobody yet. How much do you know about

that attempt to kill me tonight?

>> Absolutely nothing.

>> It would be very unfortunate for you if

I should suddenly die or disappear. I've

made arrangements. I tell you I had

nothing to do with it.

>> But you know who did.

>> Well, I can guess.

>> So can I. I don't like so many people

around ready to shoot me. That's why I

married you.

>> What?

>> We're going to get rid of them.

>> Who?

>> Your pals. And give you a record that'll

make you district attorney while we're

at it.

>> Who's we?

>> You and I. You're as crooked as a

mountain road, but you're the best

prosecutor around. So while John

Foresight has away, you're going to wipe

out Miller and the others and break

their grip on this town.

>> Just like that, huh?

>> You're very stupid, Larry. They think

they control you and can smash you at

will. Get smart. Smash them first.

>> Why did you pick me for the job if I'm

so crooked?

>> Because being crooked, you know them

better than anyone else. As of tonight,

you're going straight. I'm staying on at

the office just to make sure that you

do.

>> You must be out of your mind.

>> No, I'm making sense. and you know it.

Anyway, that's the way it's going to be.

>> What makes you think I'll go for this

crazy cleanup scheme?

>> You can't help yourself.

>> You can't force me to do anything,

remember?

>> Let's say you persuade then.

>> Uh-uh. Not under that lovely old law.

You can't testify against me.

>> Yes, I know. And um Oh, I forgot to tell

you. Some of my best evidence doesn't

need me as a witness. It's in a very

safe place.

>> This will do as my room. I'm tired.

>> Your room? If you think I'm going to let

you get away with this nonsense,

>> you'll have to earn that right.

43 burglaries, 38 car thefts, 26

single day of crime in the city's

Has law enforcement collapsed because

John Foresight is unable to be here to

hold the reigns? [music] Is it possible

that his young assistant, whose record

promised so much, is after all unequal

to his task?

The police alone cannot halt this

primord.

The office of district attorney has more

potent weapons. [music]

Is Lawrence Dale going to use them?

ounce of pressure we can to bear upon

the district attorney's office that this

disgrace may be wiped out. [music]

>> [music]

>> That doesn't cure anything. I told you

they'd cross you and break loose.

>> Told me, told me, told me.

>> Hi, love birds. Congratulations and

stuff. Say, for the love of Mike, can a

guy take a vacation without everything

blowing up? Weddings, crime waves.

And what are you doing here in your work

clothes?

>> Working?

>> Why?

>> I'm staying on to help Larry until after

election.

>> Well, he certainly needs you. Anything

on tap to cure the discontent? Yes, I'm

issuing a statement today. But this

office is launching a sweeping

investigation into organized crime here,

and we won't stop until we wipe out

every gang in the city.

>> Good boy. Tell me more. I'm serious

about this, Mitch. I'm not pulling any

punches, but I'll tell you more later.

>> Did you give Larry that hypo?

>> He runs this office.

>> That's loyalty. Too bad we can't have

any more of those lunches.

>> Who says we can't?

>> You mean that?

>> Will I get my hat?

>> That's the best offer I've had today.

>> [music]

[music]

>> I had to have this lunch with you today.

>> So did I. [music]

>> But it'll have to be the last one.

>> Why?

>> I can't take it. [music]

I only hope that you're happy and we'll

get everything that you want.

>> Nobody ever does.

Hello, Dale speaking.

Collins and Foreman. Well, I thought

Why are you calling me?

Where are you staying? Oh, just a

second.

Yes. Now, what was that? 237 Oak Street,

apartment 2C.

All right, don't budge from there. I'll

meet you right in front of your place at

11:30 tonight.

>> The two perjured witnesses.

>> How much did you hear?

>> Hear all of it. A bad hangover, Larry.

>> Well, they can't touch me.

>> You hope, but you know better. It might

be a good idea to send them to Mexico

until after the election. Then after

you're in and the three payoff boys are

wiped out, you won't have to worry about

what Collins and Foreman say.

Hello, Miller.

You've got a job on your hand.

[music]

[music]

Heat. Heat.

[music]

[music]

[music]

Heat.

[music]

[music]

[music]

Heat.

[music] Heat.

[music]

Heat. [music]

>> [music]

>> Who's there?

>> You know who? Open up.

>> Must be the DA. But [music] he said he'd

meet us downstairs.

>> Dixie Log shatter.

>> What do you want? What are you going to

do? let you live if you're smart. I

don't want a murder rap. Just want to

get rid of the one I got.

Sit down over there.

All right. All right. Let's go.

[music]

Who hired you to lie against me?

>> Well, who's going to talk you or [music]

this?

It was Miller.

Who put up the dope?

>> Miller and Carter and [music] Blake.

>> What did Dale have to do with it?

>> Well, nothing. I We don't know. Miller

made us go to Dale. Tell him we had

evidence on you.

>> Who cooked up the evidence?

>> Miller and the other two.

>> Wasn't Dale? Well, he just coached us.

You're lying. [music]

>> No, we ain't honest.

>> How much did you get? They pitched in

a,000 bucks a piece. They promised to

send us a,000 bucks more, but they

didn't. That's why we came back. You

suckers. You think they'll pay us? Well,

they better pay or we'll talk.

>> Think they'll let you loose to talk.

Your boy's broke. Yeah.

Write down what you just told me. But

everything you testified to was a lie.

Who [music] hired you? How much they

paid you, and sign it.

>> Yeah, but get busy. It's no healthier

for me around here than for you. [music]

>> Work fast. I'll see if you get enough

dough to get out of town. You better

move fast. You won't get out alive. That

Miller's no chump.

>> What's up?

>> Collins and Foreman are back in town.

>> No kidding.

>> They try to get in touch with you.

>> No, not yet.

>> They telephoned me. Said they had to see

me.

>> I figured they'd be around.

>> Why?

>> Hungry, I guess.

>> Didn't you send them the rest of that

money?

>> No.

>> Why not?

>> I wanted them to come back.

>> You fool. They're dangerous.

>> I'm glad you finally figured that out.

You were the fool when you wouldn't let

us finish the job after the trial.

>> Stink things up.

>> Now, you thought you were in a clear

because of the way we handled it. Well,

you're not.

>> They sing and so do we. Where are you

then?

>> We haven't got time to waste talking

about that now.

>> Where are they?

>> Oak Street. Uh 2370 Oak, Department 2C.

They're going to meet me out in front of

11:30 sharp.

>> That's all I want to know.

>> And don't let your boys mess this up.

>> Yeah. Did they ever

is mine?

>> Stay [music] where you are.

[music]

[music]

>> How'd you find us? The boys have been

watching for you for months. Told you

you were suckers.

[music]

[music]

Now get out of town.

>> [music]

>> Who are you? Friend of yours, I think.

Come in.

>> George Mitchell of the Tribune.

>> Yeah, saw you before. Talk fast.

I overheard everything.

Did huh?

Go ahead. I haven't got any spare time.

>> Why aren't you gone now?

>> That's [music] why

[music]

[music]

your killers. Don't be crazy. I wanted

them alive for a while. Anyway, on

account of those confessions.

>> Yeah. Maybe they're any good enough.

[music]

[music] You wouldn't use that. Don't

count on that. My friend

>> I am. I'm turning you in. That's very

[music] friendly. It's better than you

getting knocked off before you clear

yourself. The orders out on you are

shoot to kill. But those confessions

will get you a new trial and a quiddle.

I'm not going to use them until I get

something on Dale and stick and pay all

graft to the railroad to me.

>> Forget it and give me those confessions.

Want to try taking them?

>> Look, use your head on you. They're

fories and the [music] guys are dead.

They'll believe me and I'll testify.

They're bonafideed.

>> Why are you doing this?

>> I'm a newspaper man building up a big

exclusive story. If I cross you, I'm

easy to find. And hurry, they'll be here

in a minute. [music]

>> You don't want that?

>> No, it wouldn't look good for you. I'm

taking you up town.

Maybe you got something.

Let's go.

[music]

[music]

Heat

[music]

[music]

[music]

up here.

>> [music]

>> Heat up [music]

here.

>> [music]

[music]

[music]

>> I told you no killings.

>> And I told you it was Dixie Logan's man.

>> Logan. Logan, how could they find out

where Collins and Foreman were?

>> Find them and ask them.

>> No, Larry. It was cold bloodooded murder

and you arranged it.

>> Hello, Marion.

>> Hello, Mitch.

>> Hi, Mitch.

>> Hi, Larry. Another mess, huh?

>> No, not so much. Open and shut case. It

was Dixie Logan or his man.

>> No, it wasn't.

>> What makes you think not?

>> I don't think. I know.

>> How? The time Collins and Foreman were

being knocked off by a couple of

Miller's trigger men would be my guess.

I was having a little chat with Dixie

Logan.

>> What? Well, how could you?

>> Well, it was easy. First he'd say

something, then I'd say something.

>> Well, where'd you see him? Why didn't

you report this? I'm reporting now. Why

didn't you turn him in? His gun was in

the way. Where was this, Mitch? Said a

lot of nasty things about you. That

doesn't make any difference. Where'd you

see him? He said a lot of other things,

too.

He's mighty sorry about Collins and

Foreman.

>> I can imagine.

>> He was very anxious for them to stay

alive.

>> That's interesting. Why?

>> Because he thought if they were dead,

their confessions were no good.

>> Confessions?

>> Yeah. That they had lied on the witness

stand.

>> And I suppose Logan claimed that the

phony confessions accused me.

>> No, they didn't.

How'd you know that?

They look very legitimate.

Whom did they accuse? Carter, Miller,

and Blake.

It's going to make a great story, Mitch.

>> Sure will. Written it yet?

>> No. I uh wanted to get your angle.

Well, if what you say is true, why

doesn't Logan turn himself in and use

these confessions to clear himself?

He's a strange guy. You'll have to ask

him. He said he'd use him when he was

ready.

Mitch, will you hold up this yarn in the

interest of the public welfare?

>> Depends on how convincing you make it.

>> You've given me my first direct lead.

I'll prove who heads this crime

organization and who's trying to run the

city. But I want the chance to run your

lead without tipping anyone off. If you

print this story now, it may ruin

everything. But if you play ball with me

and wait, I promise you I'll break that

organization.

>> Well, for a bigger exclusive, I'll

postpone this one. might be in the

public welfare. So, I'll be a good

citizen for a while. You won't regret

it, Fitch.

>> How stupid do you think I am?

>> Want me to answer that question?

>> Mitch said you were in here. Mitch is

the reason for your locked doors, your

partners, and this whole thing. But your

moves aren't very bright. That last one

having him come in here with that phony

story.

Trying to scare me, huh?

>> With what? The truth.

Imagine his thinking you and I were

working together.

From that day on, things began to move.

Larry knew he was cornered.

His only way was the double double

cross.

Play crook against crook.

Make them get each other out of the way.

He sold Miller the idea of double

crossing Carter and Blake.

Are you willing to gamble for big

stakes?

>> Yeah. Doing what?

>> You and I working alone.

If we work together, we can take this

entire town over before anybody knows

it.

>> How would you like to work along with

me? What's on your mind?

I figure on Devil Crossing, Carter and

Miller, taking over this town for

ourselves.

Sounds interesting. [music] How would

you like to take over this town alone

with me?

>> How? We'll double cross Miller and Blake

and leave the town wide open for us.

>> I don't know. Double crossing is pretty

risky business.

>> It's foolproof.

>> When he was all set, Barry [music] put

on a big show.

It was also rotten and crooked, [music]

but it still looked good.

[music]

But they were most afraid of what you

knew. They were sure they could handle

Dixie Logan and those confessions if

they caught him. But you were known to

be honest, so you had to go. Larry gave

the job to Miller with orders to go slow

until he could make it look like an

accident because plain murder of a

newspaper man would be poison. [music]

[music]

[music]

>> [music]

>> It all looked like a real cleanup. The

election was a cinch, but everything

else was piling up. We knew the whole

thing was phony, and just how Larry

would live up to his promise to the boys

and get them out after being sentenced

was more than even I could figure out.

But the first answer came when Blake

went on trial.

Mitch, I want you to run that Dixie

Logan story tomorrow. With the evidence

we've got, I'll indict Miller and send

him up for life. We'll run it tomorrow

in the first edition. Look, why don't

you come up to my place tonight? We'll

talk her over.

>> Oh, I'm sorry, Larry. I have to go to a

press club dinner tonight. I'll be

seeing you.

Hello, Miller. This is Larry. Mitch is

going to run that store tomorrow unless

we can stop him. No, he wouldn't listen

to me. So, you stop him. Now, he's going

to a press club dinner. Now, it's

possible that you might get him before

he gets there.

That's right.

Heat. Heat. [music]

[music]

[music]

>> [music]

[music]

>> I want to make sure you recognize me.

>> What?

We three have been running around

together so long, I think we ought to

get acquainted. My name's George

Mitchell.

>> What about it?

>> I often wonder myself.

You all right?

>> Yes, thanks to you. But Nick, stay

waiting there. We got a lamb. Say, what

is this anyway? I thought you guys were

laying for me. Laying for you? We've

been saving your life for a long time.

>> Who are you? [music] None of your

business. Who put you on this job?

>> I wouldn't be a bit surprised.

>> Who's on my trail?

>> Someone that won't be any longer.

>> Well, thanks a lot, fellas. I suppose

I'll be seeing you around for a while.

Yeah, if you look fast enough.

>> Say, would you do me a favor and pass

the word on to the boss that [music] I

appreciate all this?

>> Forget it. I'm saying it.

[music]

>> Yeah. Harry and Slim, they're both dead.

>> What? Or how did it happen? Who did it?

>> That's what I'm calling you to find out.

>> I don't understand. I think you do. It

was well planned. Dale,

>> what are you driving at?

>> You weren't giving me a bum steer, were

you?

>> You know better than that.

>> I'm not sure.

>> But I know a lot of things you don't

even suspect I know. I'll be seeing you,

Dale.

>> Hi. Where's Larry? Making plans for

tomorrow?

>> Yes.

>> Well, Larry goes in as district attorney

tomorrow. It's going to be a big day. I

guess so.

>> What?

>> I mean, uh, yes, of course it is.

>> No thrill.

>> Should I have one?

>> Hey, what's the matter, honey? I thought

you'd be full of the spirit today.

What's wrong, Marion?

>> It's just that I thought I could do

something, which I couldn't.

>> Is it Larry?

>> No. I am glad you came in today, Mitch.

>> So am I. But you'd rather I left now.

>> Maybe it would be best. Please forgive

me

>> for what? See you in the big office

tomorrow.

[music]

>> Where are you going?

>> I'm leaving.

>> Leaving?

>> I'll make it short, Larry. My job's

finished. [music]

>> But what does that mean?

>> What you've been asking for. You're not

going to become district attorney

tomorrow.

>> Oh, no. Why not? Today I mailed every

bit of evidence I have against you to

John Foresight.

>> So you crossed me, huh?

>> No. You crossed yourself as well as

everybody else, including me. I warned

you if you didn't play it on the level,

I'd turn you in.

>> I've done everything you demanded of me.

>> Have you? Deals. Deals with every crook

you knew. Lying, killing, cheating. You

had Collins and Foreman killed. And you

tried to have Mitch killed. Mitch who

did everything he could for you because

he believed you were on the level. But

I'm stopping you

>> as my wife. You uh won't mind sharing

the distress you're bringing us.

>> You brought it on yourself. And no, I

won't be sharing it.

>> There are ways of stopping a male and

viewer.

>> I'm not very [music] soft. Larry,

>> you think you're going to

>> Hold it, Larry.

>> Better make up the lover's quarrel while

you have time.

>> What do you want?

>> You, Larry. [music] I want to talk to

you.

>> You won't need that gun. I will in just

a minute.

>> For what?

>> Anybody who crosses me is always sorry

as long as he lives.

>> But I haven't crossed.

>> But how hard you tried. You really had

me fooled for a while.

>> Now listen,

>> all the time trying to wipe us out,

playing one of us against the other.

>> Well, you're crazy.

>> Am I? Maybe I was, but not anymore.

>> It won't do you any good to kill us,

Miller.

>> But it'll make me feel awfully good.

Especially you. [music]

You're the cause of this whole blow up.

I don't know what your game was [music]

or what you expected to gain by it, but

it didn't pay off.

>> Oh, yes it did.

[music]

>> Dixie Logan. Yes, Mr. Dale. Or how could

it? Marion [music] and I.

>> You aren't married now. You never were.

>> What do you mean?

>> Marian was on a spot when you asked to

marry her, but she saw a chance to help

me. So, we arranged a phony marriage.

After all, she didn't want to be a

bigist.

[music]

The sanctimonious super moral Marian

Langon. A cheap gun.

>> No, Larry. I never was. I [music] love

Dixie. I was married to him for 3 years

before you framed him. I never knew he

was mixed up in any crimes. But [music]

I did know that he couldn't have

committed the job you sent him up for.

That's why I came in determined to find

proof to free him and break you,

>> which was swell for my setup. [music]

Now I have a very fine idea. You're

going to be district attorney and keep

everybody out of my way. [music] I'm

taking this town over. Take it or leave

it. I'd be very glad to play ball with

you, [music] but uh I'm afraid you're a

little bit late.

Yeah. Why?

>> [music]

>> marry and male John Foresight all the

evidence she had against me.

Looks like I'm not going to be district

attorney.

I may even take over that cell that you

had at the state penitentiary. [music]

>> You little fool. I just sent in the

evidence before you told me.

>> I did it because I cleared you. But now

I'm sorry. Even if you were framed, I

know now that you're rotten. Answer.

[music]

>> Hello.

>> Oh, yes. Chief,

>> listen fast. We just got a line on Dixie

Logan heading your way and gunning for

you. The squad car is on its way up.

Should be there in a few minutes. Play

it safe. Get your weapon yourself out of

the house if you can without being seen.

Leave the door open. [music]

>> Okay. Thanks, James.

Somebody tip the police. They're coming

up here to get you.

>> Talk [music] fast. If I stop the mail,

of course I are. Are you in as D8? You

ready to talk business? Certainly. But

she's going to cause us trouble. [music]

Wife or no wife? She won't be around.

[music]

[music]

>> [music]

[music]

[music]

>> There's a little bit now.

That's all there is. Mitch, [music]

you know the rest better than I do.

>> Mitch,

what a story. You wouldn't believe it,

John.

>> Yes, I [music] would. She sent this to

me. Used to be your exclusive.

>> [music]

>> It confirms everything she said.

What [music] a scoop.

And think that I can never print it.

[music]

I thought you'd say that. I'll just burn

these.

>> All right, John. [music]

Goodbye, Marian.

Don't worry, [music] honey. Everything's

going to be all right.

[music]

[music]

>> [music]

[music]

>> Heat up here. [music]

[music]

[music]

Heat. Heat. [music]

[music]

>> [music]

>> Heat. Heat.

[music]

Morning.

[music]

[music]

[music]

Hallelujah.

[music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

>> Heat. Heat.

[music]

[music]

[music]

>> Where are you?

[music]

[music]

>> [music]

[music]

>> What color are you?

>> Yes.

>> What color are you?

>> Danny and I are working.

>> The car. The men just took it. The

>> police?

>> I don't know. They wore our uniform.

They just drove the car away.

You will pack bags for you and the

little one. You will go to New York now

tonight. It is perhaps dangerous that

you should remain here.

>> I want to stay with you, Daddy.

>> Mio, wash the face. Wash it good. Then

you can go on the train to New York. Eh,

>> you'll come too, Daddy.

>> Yes, me. Tomorrow,

why be afraid?

>> The pamplets, the papers, everything for

the meeting tonight was in the car. Oh

my poor faster than you.

>> For myself, I do not mind. But if they

arrest me, what would happen to you and

the little ones?

>> Sometimes I wish you could be like other

men, working only for yourself, for me,

for the baby.

>> It is for him that I work,

for his future.

[music]

See the middle of a Tommy? Oh,

>> a little bit. Thanks, baby.

[music]

[music]

>> [music]

[music]

[music]

>> Heat. [music] Heat.

>> [music]

>> They got the payment. Why you call

anybody?

>> Yeah, [music] they went around the

corner. I got his number. It's 9356.

[music]

[music]

the people of this commonwealth against

Barcalamo Romana murder in the first

degree.

>> Yes, sir. I got the license numbers. The

car drove away.

>> We found the car abandoned up on Macy's

Hill. The revolver and the empty pouch

were in the front seat. The back of the

car was filled with radical pamphlets.

>> There is no question about what about

the pay master was killed by a bullet

fired from this gun. He worked at the

factory for 2 years.

He would know exactly what time the pay

master come on.

>> He owes me $40 for printing all for

pamphlets.

>> He couldn't have done it.

>> He was home with me.

>> Daddy didn't kill the man.

>> But Delome Romana, stand up.

Have you anything to say why the

sentence of death should not be passed

upon you?

In all my life, I have never stole and I

have never killed.

I am an innocent [music] man.

Everyone who knows me knows this.

And you, Mr. Judge, you know this, too.

You will send me to my death and should

be [music] sorry for me. But really, it

is me who is sorry for you.

In the dark night, I will be before you,

and you will know you have done wrong.

You will be afraid, but me, I'm not

afraid.

It is not me who goes to death, Mr.

Judge. [music]

It is you.

A living, walking death with my face and

my voice following you everywhere.

And I'm sorry for you.

>> [music]

>> There's only one thing left for this

court to do.

It is not a matter of discretion.

It is a matter of the law.

That is to pronounce sentence.

Therefore, it is considered and ordered

by the court that you Baralami or Romana

suffer the punishment of death by a

current of electricity through your body

within the week beginning [music] on

Sunday the 20th of November in this year

of our Lord 1,920. [music]

They've done it.

You saw the meal.

You saw the murder of your father.

[music]

[music]

It is the custom of this university to

give to the graduating class each year

some noteworthy case to analyze. from

the evidence, [music]

from the attendant circumstances,

and with the perspective that comes with

time. This year, you will consider the

case of Batmo Romania, [music]

16 years ago died in the electric chair

for the murder of a pay master he was

accused of robbing.

[music]

His own lawyer did nothing for him.

[music]

There wasn't one witness who could

actually identify him as participating

in the whole.

>> There wasn't a shred of direct evidence

against him.

>> All right. Yes, sir. I'll tell him.

>> Yes.

>> I'm from the Daily Globe.

>> Oh, Dean Lug is talking to the press

now. You may go right in.

>> Thanks.

>> 184 candidates for the bar. Every one of

them agreed that there was no cause for

Romana's conviction beyond mob hysteria.

This is the first time that such a

unanimously dissenting opinion has been

presented by such a body.

Beyond that, they discovered some new

evidence. Shortly after the murder, the

police arrested on information a boy

named Gar Ezra, who was suspected of

being implicated in the holdup in which

the murder occurred.

If this was so, his testimony would

either have cleared Romania or once and

for all have convicted him. But his

testimony was never given for the simple

reason that he was never called upon to

testify.

[music]

Hallelujah.

[music]

[music]

[music]

>> [music]

>> Parole.

>> Where's Shadow?

>> He's downstairs. He should be any

minute.

[music]

[music]

Hallelujah.

Happy [music]

[music]

birthday.

[music]

>> [music]

[music]

>> All right, that's enough.

[music]

[music] Sir, the guard of honor is all

complete.

You're cracking, huh? Someday you'll

learn things ain't so funny.

>> Okay, chief. Anything you say. Any of

the boys from headquarters have been

around looking for me.

>> You know, Chief, prison ain't agreed

with you. You're developing into a

warrior.

They got nothing on you.

>> They got what they might have. It's not

a year this time. No, not 10.

It's screwed down under a lid. I can die

quick enough without help.

>> Oh, what are you talking about? You're

the skinny kind that lives forever.

Yeah.

Give me a half a year the doctor at the

jail.

6 months I get

and the rest

dirt.

Okay. On the level.

That's tough. Chief, I'm I'm sorry. But

before that happens, a lot of these

healthy boys will know what it's like

when you try to breathe and have no

place to put air. They'll end it for me.

Call them in. Let's get going.

>> What's the hurry? I got work to do. Some

college professor with nothing better to

do started yapping about the Romana case

again.

>> Oh, then you've got nothing to worry

about.

>> That's what I'm going to find out.

If Gar Esters has talked,

use your brains. Why should he talk?

He's in a 2, ain't he? He can't talk.

It's only dead men that can't talk.

It might be safer if Darth was.

>> Yeah. Sometimes I think you won't be

happy until you pumped off everybody you

ever knew. That ain't a bad idea.

Nobody cares about Romania anymore. He

had no friends, no family. There was a

son.

>> Sure. Off somewhere hoping nobody will

ever find him. You don't suppose he

wants it known his old man was burned

for murder, do you?

>> Just the same. I'd like to know what he

is.

[music]

>> What brought you east? I heard [music]

something. Same old business.

>> Yeah.

There's a college professor turned up

some new evidence.

>> [music]

>> I couldn't find anything he's written

out there, so I did it ease. I [music]

found this Professor Liot's report.

I think he has something. [music]

>> Sorry, boys. The soup's all gone.

[music]

>> Madam, your story is an old one. We've

heard it before.

>> Yeah, soup's been gone in Seattle, in

Los Angeles, in Tacoma, in Detroit. In

fact, it would be hard to mention a city

at which at [music] one time or another

soup hadn't been all gone.

>> Well, that's it. Yeah.

Where now?

>> To look for a man on [music] an empty

stomach.

>> Who?

Gar Estus.

God,

>> the glue lets go. It's the steam. I

guess it splits the hair on your head.

>> Can't you mend it?

>> I can't mend it. No doubt there are

fellas somewhere who men it for a

dollar. I'm glad to do it. That is if I

had a doll. Got a doll?

>> No, I thought

What did that lawyer mean that wrote to

you?

>> What lawyer?

>> I found this letter on the floor of your

room.

>> I thought I burned that letter.

>> What is it about this matter?

>> Will you shut up, you little fool?

>> But if it's true, would they say that

you knew all the time Roman wasn't

guilty and could have said that they'd

called on you?

>> So far as I know, they never had heard

of me.

>> You're a good kid, Marian.

got too much imagination.

I wasn't mixed up in any murder. If you

hoped I had some criminal romantic past,

you'll have to look again.

Excuse me for not knocking.

Guard, I see. You might not have been

here if I made a point of knocking at

doors.

>> Are you Trump?

>> I guess you can see how I am.

Who's the girl?

>> My sister.

>> Happy to meet you. Step inside a minute.

The boy and I have something to talk

about.

>> When I say go arch, you go.

Go on. [music]

If you listen, I'll riddle that door.

I just got up, see, and I pay my first

call on you.

Who's Ter looking to sub?

>> You've read the papers. You know as much

as I do.

>> It wasn't you joining states evidence.

>> Trock, the case was closed. They burned

Romania for it. Why should I look for

trouble and maybe get burned myself?

>> Boy, I don't know. But I just thought

I'd find out.

>> Besides, who wants to go on trial again?

Except the papers. You and I won't talk.

And unless we did, there's nothing to

take to court as far as I know.

>> Forget the judge. Where's the judge?

>> What judge? I read that paper.

>> Judge Blunt's gun off his nut. Been

going around proving to everybody was

guilty. Stopping people in the street to

prove it. Now, nobody knows where he is.

>> Why don't they know?

>> Because he's on the loose somewhere.

They got the police of three cities

looking for him.

>> Well, why should that worry you? He's

crazy, ain't he? And even if he wasn't,

he's arguing on your side. Your jittery

teeth. You got the jitters.

They'll give you wasting time. Now,

don't jump the [music] gun.

I've got pockets in my clothes, too.

>> All right, take it easy.

Maybe you're lying [music] to me. Maybe

you're not.

Stay at home for a few days.

>> Sure thing. Why not? [music] When I say

stay home, I mean stay home. I have to

go looking for you. You stay a long

time. Whatever I find you'll

be seeing you.

[clears throat]

[music]

My son,

>> let's not [music] stay here. I thought

he'd come, but something horrible. Is he

coming back on?

>> I don't know.

>> Who is he?

>> Who is he now? He'd kill me if I told

you who he was.

>> Then they'll say it.

>> Yes, I'll say it. Then if I'm killed,

you'll know who did it. [music] They'll

not get away with killing me. They'll

pay for it.

Now listen and remember

I was with the gang one time that robbed

the payroll. I saw a murder done and

Truck Estrella did it. Remember that

truck shot the pay master. If that got

out, he'd go to the chair and so would

I. That's why he was here today.

>> Well, that's not true.

>> That's why you've kept silent. Well, I'm

not silent now. I won't sit here forever

and look at that door waiting for a

truck and a submachine gun, waiting for

the police with a warrant.

And what I'm thinking is Romania dead

for the murder. Dead

while I sit here dying inside. Dead for

the thing Chuck did while I looked on

and I could have saved him. But I let

him die instead of me because I wanted

to live. Won't know.

>> Son, you're mad. Someone will hear them

here. I've lived with ghosts too [music]

long.

>> Hello, son.

Be silent.

Don't take this last thing from me.

There was little to keep even before.

But now,

my son, don't worry.

I'll be quiet and live. [music]

I live even craw

to tell a lie

and live.

>> Yes, child. It is better.

[music] Heat. Heat.

[music]

[music]

[music]

>> [music]

[music]

>> Pardon me, [music] sir, but perhaps you

could tell me the name of this street.

This ain't no street.

>> There where the street lamp is.

>> Oh, Dad. That's the alley.

>> Thank you.

It has a name, [music] no doubt.

>> No, it's just the alley.

>> I see.

You wonder why I ask, I dare say. I'm

I'm a stranger here. [music]

Yes.

>> [music]

>> There's nothing you can do. Your old man

was a radical and

a dangerous man. Well, I don't like to

say it. No, you're perfectly right,

Carr. He was a dangerous man. Think of

it. He believed that children shouldn't

be forced to go to work.

That a man should only work a reasonable

number of hours a day. When he was

injured, he should have care and medical

attention.

That if he got too old to work, he

should be cared for and not starved.

>> Hey, have you gone crazy? Those things

are the law.

>> I know.

My father died 16 years ago. [music]

[music]

What's the matter, kid?

>> Nothing.

>> Wait a minute.

[music]

>> I'm sorry.

I thought you were someone else. [music]

It's

>> all right.

Why do you look at me?

>> You're unhappy.

>> Doesn't matter.

You're unhappy, too.

>> How did [music] you know?

>> Just looked at you.

Can I help?

>> Thank you.

In all the miles I've traveled, you're

the [music] first to offer me that.

>> I mean,

[music] who are you?

No one.

[music]

Just the girl you saw among the pen.

Seems as if maybe we've met before.

[music]

Maybe we'll meet again.

>> [music]

[music]

>> It's kind of cute. [music]

Just a kid. That's just as well. If you

ask me, the homely ones are bad enough,

but the lookers are fatal. [music]

You exaggerate, car.

Hello.

[music]

Somewhere in that deserted and forgotten

corner of this highly advertised [music]

city may lie the answer to all my

questions.

>> Why [music] don't you forget it, Mayo?

Said I'd follow the trail to the end.

This may be it. You'll only get yourself

in trouble. [music]

Lay off.

>> I can't lay off. This thing didn't

happen to you. I've left you your name.

[music]

They've left me one thing only, and

that's to be my father's voice crying up

out of the earth in the quick climb

where they struck him. [music]

My mother,

I tell you, these county burials are

swift, cheap. Run for profit. Out of the

house and into the ground, your wife of

a dead dog. Wait a minute. There's some

Romana spawn left. Something [music]

crawls there. Something they call a son.

He's him out of town, boys. He's a

mouse. You're not too gentle [music] or

you'll come back.

I will go back.

Maybe I can sleep [music] then or even

live.

[music]

[music]

>> Come in, my daughter. Be cold here.

Storm coming

>> soon, father. I'm just waiting.

And what's his name?

>> Whose name?

>> Why? When we are young and listen

[music] for a step,

step should have a name.

[music]

>> It's the way you make your living.

They've got no right to stop you.

>> No more music. You can pay the cops.

They arrest me. I got to put him away.

That's all.

>> Then you'll have to go and release them.

If there is any more relief

>> from this, I don't know, but I can play

no more music. The policeman say no.

Tomorrow I start cooking. Captain.

[music]

>> How about a tune, Tony?

>> But I won't play.

>> Sure. She's a good little machine that

is petty. Cost plenty [music] money. And

two new records. I only place twice.

See?

Come on. Give it to me, kitty.

[music]

>> Come on, H. Let's see you, [music] Dad.

>> Yeah, let's see you.

>> Come on, H. Take him up.

[music]

[music]

>> [music]

[music]

[music]

>> That's kid.

>> [music]

>> Ra.

[music]

[music]

>> Go on, Shirley. [music] Do your glide.

See.

>> [music]

>> They're going to get married. Honest.

Ain't it the most romantic thing you

ever heard? Come on, let's dance.

[music]

[music]

>> [music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

>> Tell me your name.

>> Mio,

what's yours?

>> Miriam.

>> No such name. [music]

But there's no such name as Mio. M I O.

That's no name. Or Bario.

>> Well, my mother's name was Miriam, so

they called me Miriam.

>> Meaning little Miriam.

Little [music] Miriam.

>> [music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

>> Hey you. Hey you. What do you want?

>> Sign off.

>> You mean I got to go for the streets?

>> Sign off.

>> Add your copies. Your copies.

>> Hey, what's the matter with the music,

Captain?

>> Not a thing, Admiral. Are we a little

party going here?

>> I'll say you did.

>> Please, officer. We want to dance.

>> No, go ahead. Dance.

>> Who want music?

>> Sorry, I can't help you. There you have

it, fellow workers. A perfect example of

oppression. In the land where music

should be as free as air and the art

should be encouraged, a uniformed minion

of the intelligencia steps in and puts

the limit to the innocent enjoyment of

the poor. We don't go to the theaters.

Why not? We can't afford this. We don't

go to nightclubs where the women dance

naked and the music drips from saxopones

and leaks out from caluners. We can't

afford that either. But at least we can

dance in the river bank to the strains

of a battle organ.

If you ain't making a speech, you're

coming down.

>> Please, Mr. Officer, I have my right.

>> You ain't making any speeches.

>> You take your hands off me.

>> Do you want to get Ronn in?

>> Well, what? I haven't done anything.

>> One moment, officer.

There is some difference of opinion,

even on the bench, as to the elasticity

of police power when applied in minor

emergencies to preserve civil order.

Say, who are you?

>> Sir, I'm not accustomed to answer that

question.

>> Come on, get down off your high horse.

Who are you? What are you doing here?

>> I'm a judge of some standing, not in

your city, it is true, but in another

with similar statutes. My name

my name.

That's strange.

I knew it. only a moment ago.

I'll think of it again if you fool.

You're crazy.

>> Whatever they may have said or done, let

them disperse in peace.

It is better that they go softly.

Lest when they are dead, you see their

eyes pleading

and their outstretched hands

touch you,

fingering cold on your heart.

I have been harsher than you.

>> Way off, I tell you.

>> What am I not to be ashamed of? Tread on

him. That's right. Tread down the

ancient and the infirm.

>> Yeah, that's right. You don't have to

step on a guy, big boy.

>> What's the matter? Do you all go nuts? I

haven't stepped anybody.

>> Seems to be an opportunity for an

ambitious young man.

>> Wait a minute. Give the badge a chance.

He's doing his job, but he gets paid to

do. Same as any of you.

Well, they're all picked men, these

Metropolitan Police. They're handpicked

for loyalty and a fine upstanding pair

of shoulders on their legs.

It's not so easy to represent the law.

Think what he does for all of us.

Stamping out crime. You want to be

robbed and murdered in your beds.

>> Hey, what's eating you? He must be

capitalist. That's enough out of you,

too, professor.

>> May I say that I think you've handled

the whole situation rather badly from

the beginning?

>> You may not.

>> For that remark, I'll be satisfied with

nothing less than an unconditional

apology.

>> Oh, you want an apology, eh? Well,

you'll get one where you don't like it.

Come on, get out of my way. Come on. Get

out of my way. Come on. Don't stop me.

What are you trying to do?

[music]

[music]

>> [music]

>> Wait for me.

Get out. [music]

Get him inside quick.

It's the judge. Judge gone.

Get him inside.

Let us go inside. This is a sleeve

that's falling. You will understand,

sir. We old men know how softly we must

proceed with such things.

>> What I'm telling you, Tro, I saw him

with my own eyes. It's the judge. Goofy

is a bed bug.

[music]

[music]

I guess you thought I meant it about

waiting here to meet me.

No, I'd forgotten about it till I got

that slap of winter across the face.

You'd better go in.

I'm not your kind. Nobody's kind but my

own. Just waiting for this to blow over.

Wait a minute.

I lied. I meant it.

See, I meant it when I said it.

There's too much hate in me for any girl

to know.

>> What hurts you so Mio?

>> I'm alone. That's why.

>> I'll go with you.

>> Where?

>> Where you go?

>> You little fool. What made you say that?

>> I don't know.

>> If you have a home, stay in it. I asked

for nothing. I've schooled myself to ask

for nothing. I take what I get and get

along.

>> Wherever you go, I go.

Romeo,

take me with you and let them look for

us, but we'll be away.

>> Where?

I have no house, no home, a love of

life, fear of death.

>> Why do you say that,

>> Mary?

When I was a child,

we climbed to an iron gate, my mother

and I, to see my father in prison.

He stood in a death cell and he put his

hand through the bars and said,

"My meal, I have only this to leave you,

that I love you, and I'll love you after

I die.

Love me then, Neil, when this hard thing

comes on you that you must live a man

despised for your father.

Lie still and rest, my father. I've not

forgotten. When I forget, may I lie

blind to see you?

>> What was his name?

Your father's name.

>> Why? Moran.

I'm not ashamed of it.

>> Mio, why are you here? Well,

>> I can't tell you that.

>> No, but there's someone lives here. Live

not far. And you mean to see him? You

You mean to ask him?

>> Who told you that?

>> His name is G. Goth has

>> Were you sent to say this?

>> You must go before you seen or spoken

to.

>> Why? Can you tell me why?

>> As I love you. I I can't tell you.

Miriam,

where will I find you when I want to see

you?

>> Never. I bring you down. [music]

Hey, you. Are you still around here?

[music]

[music]

[music]

>> Of course, you wake. You've got to go.

You're not safe here.

>> Well, what of it? If [music] you slipped

away and pick a place somewhere where we

could find you

>> using what for money? Why do you suppose

I've sat here so long? Cuz I love my

home so much.

>> If I stepped around the corner, it' be

my last corner and my last step.

>> The proc will come again. And if you're

here, he'll find you.

>> Child, we can do nothing.

[music]

Little force is waiting.

[music]

>> Pardon me, but I'm looking for a family

by the name of Ed. Can you bring your

mic for me? Can you dist

[music]

[music]

>> [music]

>> You will imagine how much more than

gling I feel it to ask my way home and

where I am. This is New York City.

Oh, Pablo.

Well, sir,

I shall lie under the deepest obligation

if you can set an old man on his path.

Oh, I'll put you on your way.

>> Only you'd be wiser to wait a while if

I'm any judge.

>> It happens. I'm the judge

in more ways than one.

Can I sleep under the pipes tonight? Can

I, please? No, not tonight.

There won't be any more nights if I

don't get warm.

Come in. Come in.

>> I must go.

They'll be worried.

You shall be well rewarded for your

kindness.

But at the moment, I'm low in funds.

Your name, sir?

>> My name is Ezras and this is my son G.

>> Estras

estrus.

Now I know.

Lick it.

That's the name.

He wrote some trash about you. I came to

tell you it is purely fabrication,

lacking fact. It's true. I could have

called you, but the case was clear.

Romania was known guilty.

And there was nothing to add. Don't

worry, I'll say nothing. Nor any of us.

You understand? If there were any just

end to be served by speaking out, I'd

speak.

But there's none.

Bear that in mind. We'll be silent.

>> Excuse me, but I'm looking for a man

name of God that [music] you happen to

know him.

>> For sure.

>> Down there in the corner.

>> Thank you.

[music]

>> [music]

[music]

>> It's struck. No, you wouldn't knock.

[music]

>> May I come in?

>> Yes, sir.

>> What is it you want? sleep. Well, I

might say that I was trying to earn my

tuition fee by cuddling magazine.

[music] I could say that for collecting

old newspapers, paying cash, I high

questions there. I've got nothing to

sell. [music]

Your pardon, gentlemen. See, my business

is not of an ordinary kind, and I felt

the need of this slight introduction.

I might get my bearings. Your name is

Ezra, so they tell me. What about it?

I'll be quick and brief.

The man died many years ago. [music] for

a payroll robbery.

You have some knowledge of his crime.

Your testimony you've given

would clear him of any share in the

murder. You may not know whether he's

guilty or not. You may not care. But I

do care. I care deeply.

Come to ask you face to face. To ask me

what? What do you know about it?

>> This man, Romania, does he have a son?

>> Yes, sir. This man, Romania, as you

choose to call him, Harrison, and I'm

that son and proud. Forgive me. If my

son can help, he [music] will. But at

the moment, we are busy tomorrow. And if

you

>> What I have to say won't take long.

Tell me in a word what you know. Is it

for him or against you? [music]

>> My son knows nothing. I knew a few

members of a gang one time up there and

after the murder they picked me up

because I looked like someone that was

seen in what they call the murder car.

They held me for a while but they

couldn't identify me for the most

excellent reason. I wasn't there when

the thing occurred.

That's all I know about it. I wish I

could tell you more. The whole story.

The whole story.

Well,

come 3,000 miles to this dead end.

You'll lie. [music] I won't believe it.

My boy, if he was innocent

and you know him so believe [music] it

and let the others believe they like. If

you mean to say Barammo Romano was

innocent, [music]

you're wrong. He was guilty. You lied to

what he

was murdered.

>> Roman was found guilty by all due

process of law and given his chance to

prove his innocence. Well, who are you?

How do you know? And I've searched the

records through the [music] trial and

what came after. And in all that million

words, I found not one unprejudiced

argument [music] to fix the crime on

him. And you yourself, were you

unprejudiced?

>> Who are you?

Face.

It's in a dream,

the judge.

The judge at the trial was younger, but

he had your face. Can it be that?

[music]

Yeah. The jury charge. I said that as a

child, I heard that voice. [music] I

watched that mouth. I knew even then

that you meant no good to us.

Are you Judge Baant? [music]

I am. Why are you here? Because I am an

upright judge and want the truth. I've

searched and [music] compared and

verified the transcripts of the trial

>> without prejudice, no doubt. Now, it was

never in your mind to prove that [music]

you've been right

and conscious of that, too. That that

might be my purpose. And still, I found

no error. I watched all modern comment

and saw it centered finally on one fact.

Goth estrus was not called.

This is Garvestus and you have heard

him.

Would his deposition have justified a

new trial?

>> It would not.

>> My boy, can it not [music] be, and I ask

this quite honestly,

that the great injustice was on your

side, [music]

not on mine?

Can it not be true that you, who were

touched closest by the tragedy, may not

have lost perspective? [music]

You think I'm crazy? Is that what you

mean to say? Is it not true that

wherever you walked, still walking by

your side, sleeping only when you sleep,

a shadow,

not your own, followers,

praying and holding out his hands to be

delivered from shame.

How you know that? [music]

>> I don't know.

>> Because one spectre haunted you and me

and haunts you still. [music]

But for me, it's laid at rest.

Now that my [music] mind is satisfied,

he died justly

and not [music] by error.

You know that you've come near to death.

That there's murder in me.

>> There was murder in your father. It is

to be expected.

>> Yeah. You'd like to have me kill you. I

will prove your case, but you won't get

that from me. [music]

You go home and die in your bed.

My boy,

I have read some things your father

said, and you are a man fortunate in

your father. Whatever the the verdict of

the world.

>> Come, judge, you better be going.

[bell]

[music]

[music] I'll lend you my coat.

>> A little rain shouldn't matter to me.

It freezes as it falls. And you have a

long way to go. Thank you. I'll manage.

[music]

[music]

>> Well,

let me stay here a minute. Sure. Sleep

here, too. We'll have a whole row of you

under the pipes.

You're going to thank me for keeping you

out of this. I've seen men get that way

before, thinking they had to plug a

couple of guys and then a few more to

cover it up and then maybe a dozen more.

You can't sell all the witnesses cuz

every man you put away got friends. I

said, "All right." I that's fine. You

know, they're going to find that judge

and if they find him dead, it's just

going to be too bad. And I don't want to

know anything about it. And you don't

either.

>> You all through?

>> Sure. I'm through.

All right.

We are through too, you know.

>> Oh, yeah.

>> Yeah, we are through. I heard that

before and afterwards somebody died. Is

that what you mean?

>> You can go. Sure, I'll go.

But maybe you don't mind if I find out

what you've got on you. Before I turn my

back, I'd like to know.

Not that I distrust you, but uh you know

how it is.

Hello, Doc. Hello.

I won't talk. You can be sure of that. I

know you won't.

Heat. Heat.

[music]

[music]

[music]

>> [music]

[music]

[music]

>> real.

How did you get here?

>> I live here. My name is Ezra [music]

Scar is my brother. The walls are thin.

I heard what was said.

>> Going. This is [music] no place for me.

>> What place could be better?

>> I don't know.

It's better to go just to go.

>> But they can take away so little with

all their words.

It

>> was bad enough that he [music] should

have died innocent. If he were guilty,

what's my life? I tell you, I've [music]

lived by his innocence. I've lived to

see that flash and blind them all. It

was truth. I wanted truth. Not the lies

you tell yourself or tell a woman. A

woman tells you

that [music] judge may have told the

truth. I may be mad.

>> You must never believe in me. It's truth

that I believe in you and love you.

You've never [music] said you

love me.

>> Why wouldn't I love you? [music]

You're clean and sweet.

I've seen nothing clean or sweet all

[music] these years. I love you. I'll

leave you that for what good it may do

you.

>> Then kiss me.

[music]

>> Goodbye, Maria.

>> You won't forget.

>> I won't forget.

>> [music]

>> Excuse the interruption. I wouldn't want

to cause inconvenience any of you,

especially the judge.

Who's all this here?

Who's that?

He's a poor halfwick that sometimes

sleeps there. Come out. Come out,

whoever you are.

What's your name?

>> They mostly call me Oak.

>> What do you know?

>> No, sir.

>> Where are you from?

>> I got a piece of bread.

>> Get out.

>> But it's cold all day.

>> Get out.

Who are you?

I'm a half wit, too. And the difference

is I got no piece of bread. Another

comic. Huh?

Who's he?

>> His name's Rainda. He's the son.

>> What's he doing here? You said she went

on the level.

>> You didn't ask him. He just walked in on

account of the stuff in the papers.

We are a gathering.

Now, if we had Shadow, we'd all be here.

Who's Shadow? Oh,

so now you're putting questions.

Shadow was just nobody. See, he blew

away. It might happen to anyone.

Yeah.

Anyone at all? Why do you keep your hand

in your pocket, friend? Because I'm

cold, mug. because I've been outside and

it's cold as a don.

Listen,

there's a car waiting up the street to

take the judge home. Away, truck, he's

harmless. That's not necessary.

>> I say it is. See,

>> I want no hand in it.

>> Anything happens to me happens to you,

too, musician.

>> I know that, Chuck.

>> Keep your mouth out of it, then.

You better keep the mug here tonight

just for luck.

Come on, judge.

Yeah,

would seem that you and the judge know

each other.

I've been around.

Maybe you met before.

Maybe we have. Will you tell me where?

How long do you want to live? How long?

I got big ideas about that. I thought

so. Well, so far I've got nothing

against you but your name. See, you keep

it that way.

[music]

>> Keep your hands where they belong.

Trucker, I'm clean. Is that my gun?

[music]

>> You said the doctor gave you 6 months to

live. That's what you said. 6 months.

[music] Well, I don't give you that

much. Don't let him do it.

[music]

>> Why, you rat. You put three holes in me.

But I'm back from the grave, Truck. Back

to take you with me. [music]

Where are you? Brock,

say something. Speak to me. I can hear

you even if I can't see you.

To get [music] this far now, I can't see

you.

The blood runs out too fast. Too fast.

And you've got three holes cleaned

through you.

Show me where he is, you fools. Tell me

where he is.

>> [music]

>> Give me

[music]

[music]

dead. I said he's out of his grave. Can

this is the man underground?

No, they won't stand a ground. They

won't stand a water. [music] Why did you

have them killed?

>> I didn't touch you. I didn't.

>> The times come when you can't keep them

down. These dead men.

>> Stay away [music] from me.

>> Because of you, my father died, wasn't

it? Keep away from me. Wasn't it? Look

at me. Look at me. What you want to me?

[music]

>> You killed the pay master. You killed

the pay master.

>> You lied. It was shadow killed him.

[music]

It was not Romania.

It was not Romania.

There were three men involved in this

crime for [music] which my father died.

Shadow of Truckstella's principles in

the murder. Goff as witness. And why are

they here? [music] And you, the judge,

why are you here? Because you were

afraid. And you do together out of that

fear to arrange a story you could tell.

This is the thing I wanted over the

earth to find out. I'd be blind if I

missed it. Now

[music]

you're right talking. Won't get you far,

I guess. Will you see to that?

>> Yes. He and some others. Maybe I lost my

grip there just for a minute. That's

[music] all right.

Good evening.

We're looking for someone who might be

here.

There's one I mean.

Come on.

There he is.

>> What do you think?

>> You should have known him from his

pictures.

Come along, judge. You're going home.

>> Thank you. I'm a person of some standing

in my own city.

I don't remember.

>> Whoa. If it isn't truck Estrella.

How you truck?

>> For the good things.

>> Here. You got out yesterday. That's

right.

>> You know, we got orders to watch you

pretty close. Be good now, baby. Or back

you go.

>> Sure.

>> If we find any stiffs on the riverbank,

we know who to look for.

>> Look in the other room, then.

>> I accuse that man of murder. Crocus.

He's a murderer.

>> Oh, I remember you. What murder?

>> Oh, Sarge. The boy's a professional kid.

Took me over about a half an hour ago.

Kids the police and then ducks out.

>> Oh, yeah.

>> I'm not kidding. Now, you'll find a dead

man there in the next room. And that

fella killed him.

Take a look.

>> Listen, boy. You stood out there and put

the booby sign on me and then ran away.

Don't try it twice.

Any corpses here?

>> No. No.

>> Not that I know of.

>> No. There's no one there.

>> Think of a better one. But if I got to

drag him out here while you can see him.

>> He's kidding. All right. If that was

here, I don't see it. Listen,

>> he was in here. Tro shot him and they

brought him in here 16 years ago. Tro

killed the man.

>> Wait a minute, son. When you make a

charge of murder, it's better to have

the corpus delicai.

>> He's the kind that puts in fire alarms

to see the engines. What have you done

with him?

>> I don't know what you mean.

>> What's he talking about?

>> I wish I could tell you. I don't know.

>> You better watch yourself, Chop.

>> They're in it together. All of them.

>> It's in you.

You dreamed something. Isn't it true?

You have dreamed something, but truly

there was no one there.

Do you want me to say it?

>> Yes.

I was dreaming.

I was dreaming.

>> I'll say you was. Let's get going.

Come along, judge. And if I hear any

more out of you, I'll run you in.

Want a coat?

Find your mind.

>> Hi, folk.

>> Where's Shadow?

>> In the river.

>> Is he out his time or still budding

around? He's dead. That's perfect.

Keep the mug here a few minutes, then

let him go. I have plans to make.

You stay in that alley on a side. I'll

watch up on the bridge head. If he tries

to press, I'll give you a single and

shoot.

Doc, this ain't my meat. A shot will

bring the cops and there's no way out of

that hole. I'll be cornered like a rat.

You got a silence against you. No cops

will be able to hear. The noise will

even carry to the square. Suppose he

goes out the other alley. Louie knows

him. He needs no identification there.

Remember, when I signal, shoot. What

signal? Something you can see.

A light. Look, I like a cuff name like

this

and shoot to kill or you may find

yourself swimming beside shadow.

[music]

[music]

>> You're climbing up the bridge. You must

go now quickly while it's still safe.

>> You heard what Tro said. He stays here.

[music]

>> What do you mean? He needs to kill him.

You know that. I have

>> no doubt Master Romania can run his own

campaign.

>> But he'll be killed.

>> That's his business.

>> No, no, it's mine.

>> Where have you two met?

>> We dance together. [music]

>> And the dance is over, I think.

I've always loved you and I've tried to

help you. You've been kind.

Don't spoil it now.

>> Spoil it how

I love it.

>> Why did you lie? Miriam,

>> he's my brother. M. I couldn't give them

my brother.

[music]

>> No,

you couldn't.

It had to be you, my sister, my love. I

didn't know it would happen, but

but we met and the world's all changed

for me.

God, you brought this to nothing I

wanted.

Let him go, God, for me.

Go ahead.

Go tell your story. [music]

Let me watch your step. I warn your

trucks out gunning you in warfare.

My son, [music]

this truck deserves to die. No one

defends him. But his crime, this same

crime that has dogged you, has [music]

dogged us.

And if there is lord to go, we'll go

there. [music] when you've told your

story.

>> You said you loved me, that he is my

brother whom I love.

>> Bright, ironical gods.

What fun they have in heaven.

When a man prays hard for any gift they

give it, [music] then one more a boot

that makes it useless.

You might have picked some other

stranger [music] to dance with no

>> chosen some other evening to sit outside

in the rain. It had to be this.

All my life I've wanted only one thing.

[music] And now you thrust a girl's face

between me and the rights I've sworn the

dead you'll have of [music] me.

But you ask too much.

[music]

>> Your brother can take his chance.

And that pauses,

I shall say [music]

what I have to say.

[music]

>> [music]

[music]

>> Wait for me. Don't you go without me.

>> Maybe that I won't go at all.

>> [music]

[music]

>> This kind of takes me off my high horse.

[music] I was near right than I thought

when I said I'd come to a dead end.

>> You must go inside me.

>> No. Oh, I know you don't trust me, and I

haven't earned your trust, but I shall

call the police and see that you get

safely off.

>> When the police come, they'll ask

questions, and when they're answered,

they'll ask more. But before they're

done, your son will be in with me.

>> Must be shall not be quiet. I make no

truce. Still, I will go.

[music]

I could love your father. Mary Omni, if

you love me, change me from what I am

and have been till I learn to live like

a man. Teach me how to forgive and

forget to hate. He would have forgiven.

He your father.

[music]

You may think it's strange.

I've never remembered that.

[music]

I tried, [music]

but he won't let me pass. He kicked me

back three times.

I swear I did what I could.

He's waiting for you, child. Save

yourself if you can.

It might be somewhere up to the house

and out across the roof.

>> Come in and let me look.

>> I'll stay here. Once inside, I'm a rack

in a dead. You look for me if you don't

mind.

>> Then watch for me.

[music]

[music]

>> [music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

>> You two get inside. Not me. And be

cornered like a rat. No thanks. I'll

silence you. I'll get you safely

through.

>> No, no, no. You tell God,

>> forget it, Mary. Now, I'm not afraid of

it. I'm not a truck guy, too. I'm tired

of hiding out in rat holes. And when I'm

gone, you may have a chance.

Maybe with him, you'll get some place.

He seems determined enough. Go.

[music]

[music]

[music]

I heard a sound like a slap.

Wait here.

[music]

[music]

>> [music]

[music]

>> God

[music]

thinks of everything. A silencer. That's

why we heard nothing.

>> Strange.

I should feel sad and cry and yet I

don't.

The shadow hovered over him so long.

His death mustn't be in vain. Leo, you

must get through.

>> I know. As long as you take your climb.

>> Should I follow him?

>> Wait.

Where is it to go back?

>> Not to go in. There

>> must be some way out. We can't be

cornered here. You go inside. You'll be

safe there

now. All you silent powers that make the

sleep and rain but never yet have

spoken, give us a sign. Let's call some

mercy with the rain. We're two lovers

here in your night and we wish to live.

They made our prayer gods Mary, but they

wouldn't listen.

>> Why didn't they answer?

[music]

>> They have [music]

they tend to

Heat. Heat.

[music]

[music]

[music]

>> [music]

[music]

[music]

>> Heat up here.

[music]

Heat

>> [music]

[music]

>> up here. [music]

[music]

[music]

>> [music]

>> All right, young fella. You started

something once too. I warned you about

that herd of dirty. Now you're pissed.

>> They heard our prayers. Those gods above

us, they sent us a sign. Welcome,

messenger of the gods. You are the sign.

>> Oh, the kitten's going to start again,

huh?

>> Officer arrest me. [music] Take me to a

station house. A place where a man can

talk out loud. Call out to God. [music]

Get more dirty card. I want a god of

honor on this trip.

You [music] are going to get it.

[music]

[music]

Heat. Heat.

[music]

[music]

[music]

Heat.

[music]

[music]

[music]

Heat.

Heat. Heat. [music]
