00:00:03,503 --> 00:00:05,596
[theme]
2
00:00:47,092 --> 00:00:48,923
Oh, dear.
3
00:00:49,061 --> 00:00:52,394
Well, you said you wanted some
with larger rhinestones, and those--
4
00:00:52,531 --> 00:00:56,092
I know, but now these
have the wrong kind of clips.
5
00:00:56,235 --> 00:00:58,999
But I'm certain I showed you
a pair with the kind that you like.
6
00:00:59,138 --> 00:01:02,767
Oh, but they were the ones that were
more of a turquoise, weren't they?
7
00:01:02,908 --> 00:01:07,709
I mean, don't you think a clearer blue
with my coloring is--
8
00:01:07,846 --> 00:01:11,782
My dear, at this point
I'm not sure at all what I think.
9
00:01:11,917 --> 00:01:15,045
Oh, dear. I am a nuisance, aren't I?
10
00:01:15,187 --> 00:01:21,956
I don't know why I can't seem
to make up my mind about anything today.
11
00:01:22,094 --> 00:01:25,222
Maybe I have some more down here
that you might like better.
12
00:01:33,639 --> 00:01:36,437
You know, maybe I should
be looking at brooches.
13
00:01:36,575 --> 00:01:38,406
That's really what I came
to this counter for.
14
00:01:38,544 --> 00:01:41,479
And if we could find something
that matches--
15
00:01:46,986 --> 00:01:51,320
I wonder if you could tell me
where a ladies' room is.
16
00:01:51,457 --> 00:01:52,788
Yes, of course.
17
00:01:52,925 --> 00:01:55,052
There's one right down the corridor there.
18
00:01:59,765 --> 00:02:02,029
- Oh.
- Oh, I'm sorry.
19
00:02:03,202 --> 00:02:04,931
- Here. You dropped this.
- Thank you.
20
00:02:05,070 --> 00:02:07,538
- Are you all right?
- Uh--
21
00:02:10,442 --> 00:02:12,376
I don't think she's very well.
22
00:02:12,511 --> 00:02:14,035
I know. I better take a look.
23
00:02:14,179 --> 00:02:15,806
Miss Fairweather, if you please.
24
00:02:15,948 --> 00:02:17,415
[whispering]
25
00:02:20,386 --> 00:02:22,911
Uh, Men's Furnishings
are on through that way, sir.
26
00:02:23,055 --> 00:02:24,955
Right through the next section.
27
00:02:25,090 --> 00:02:26,182
Thank you.
28
00:02:27,259 --> 00:02:29,887
Oh. Excuse me, sir, but have you seen--
29
00:02:30,029 --> 00:02:31,087
Yes?
30
00:02:31,230 --> 00:02:33,391
I'm sorry.
I don't ordinarily speak to strangers.
31
00:02:33,532 --> 00:02:36,057
But I'm looking for my aunt--
a white-haired woman.
32
00:02:36,201 --> 00:02:37,691
I lost her down in Millinery
33
00:02:37,836 --> 00:02:40,361
Dark coat? Flowered hat?
34
00:02:40,506 --> 00:02:42,235
Aunt Sarah.
35
00:02:42,374 --> 00:02:43,898
Ginny, where on earth have you been?
36
00:02:44,043 --> 00:02:45,408
- Let's run along now.
- I've been looking over this whole store--
37
00:02:45,544 --> 00:02:46,806
Oh, no, you don't.
Stand right there, madam.
38
00:02:46,945 --> 00:02:48,276
Right where you are.
39
00:02:49,682 --> 00:02:51,309
Well, Miss Fairweather?
40
00:02:51,450 --> 00:02:54,214
Two scarves, a dozen stockings,
41
00:02:54,353 --> 00:02:56,048
and this necklace
is from my counter, too.
42
00:02:56,188 --> 00:02:57,815
She just dropped them in there.
43
00:02:57,956 --> 00:02:59,480
Tried to get rid of them, you mean.
44
00:02:59,625 --> 00:03:01,525
She knew I'd spotted
what she'd done, all right.
45
00:03:01,660 --> 00:03:02,684
Sarah, what's he talking about?
46
00:03:02,828 --> 00:03:03,817
Shoplifting, that's what.
47
00:03:03,962 --> 00:03:05,554
There's not going to be any more of it
in my section.
48
00:03:05,698 --> 00:03:07,427
- You let go of her!
- It's just a misunderstanding.
49
00:03:07,566 --> 00:03:09,557
Oh, no it's no misunderstanding.
You're a thief and you know it.
50
00:03:09,702 --> 00:03:11,499
There's not one single sales slip
with those items.
51
00:03:11,637 --> 00:03:14,003
Now wait, just wait.
I'll pay for anything.
52
00:03:14,139 --> 00:03:15,504
And you'll go along, too, young lady.
53
00:03:15,641 --> 00:03:17,199
I guess I know an accomplice
when I see one.
54
00:03:17,343 --> 00:03:19,573
- You don't have to be so--
- I'd call a store detective if I were you.
55
00:03:19,712 --> 00:03:21,646
Oh, you would, would you?
And who are you, sir?
56
00:03:21,780 --> 00:03:23,839
My name is Mason. I'm an attorney.
57
00:03:23,982 --> 00:03:26,177
Well, then,
you must be familiar with the fact
58
00:03:26,318 --> 00:03:28,718
that the store has a perfect right
to detain anyone suspected of stealing.
59
00:03:28,854 --> 00:03:32,255
But you don't have the right to slander
this woman in front of these people,
60
00:03:32,391 --> 00:03:34,655
nor to commit battery
by grabbing her that way.
61
00:03:36,628 --> 00:03:38,186
Of all the nerve.
62
00:03:38,330 --> 00:03:42,562
In fact, if she has any reasonable
explanation for what she's done,
63
00:03:42,701 --> 00:03:46,102
you may find you're putting the store
in worse trouble than this woman is.
64
00:03:46,238 --> 00:03:48,297
Well, I'm certainly
not going to stand here and--
65
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:49,532
The man's right, you idiot.
66
00:03:49,675 --> 00:03:53,111
Please, everyone.
Just move along, thank you.
67
00:03:53,245 --> 00:03:57,113
I'm terribly sorry, madam.
If you'll both step into the office,
68
00:03:57,249 --> 00:03:59,342
I'm sure we can straighten this out
in just a moment.
69
00:03:59,485 --> 00:04:03,046
It's obviously a mistake.
I know it's a mistake.
70
00:04:03,188 --> 00:04:06,521
My aunt's never stolen anything
in her whole life.
71
00:04:06,658 --> 00:04:08,023
Ladies.
72
00:04:09,261 --> 00:04:10,455
Thank you.
73
00:04:10,596 --> 00:04:13,190
I don't quite know what all this fuss
is about, but...
74
00:04:14,767 --> 00:04:16,359
thank you anyway.
75
00:04:28,280 --> 00:04:29,804
Taxi.
76
00:04:29,948 --> 00:04:32,143
I've never been so mortified in all my life.
77
00:04:32,284 --> 00:04:34,912
But they let us pay for everything,
and you do need the stockings.
78
00:04:35,053 --> 00:04:38,454
$78. Aunt Sarah,
what's the matter with you?
79
00:04:38,590 --> 00:04:39,989
I don't know.
80
00:04:40,125 --> 00:04:43,322
I'm not sure I even remember
exactly what's been happening.
81
00:04:43,462 --> 00:04:44,929
- Get in.
- No.
82
00:04:45,063 --> 00:04:47,031
We ought to go to George's office,
and we can walk there.
83
00:04:47,166 --> 00:04:49,566
You are going straight home
and straight to bed.
84
00:04:49,701 --> 00:04:51,396
But I want to see if he's come back yet.
85
00:04:51,537 --> 00:04:53,698
Oh, Ginny, I'm so worried about George.
86
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:55,807
Maybe that's what's been upsetting me.
87
00:04:55,941 --> 00:04:59,240
- Ever since George disappeared--
- You hate Uncle George.
88
00:04:59,378 --> 00:05:01,141
Underneath, you know you really hate him.
89
00:05:01,280 --> 00:05:02,941
Nonsense. I love my brother.
90
00:05:03,081 --> 00:05:04,742
Besides, I'm worried about his business.
91
00:05:04,883 --> 00:05:06,407
If George stays away very long--
92
00:05:06,552 --> 00:05:09,578
Aunt Sarah, can't you for once just let
other people's problems go go hang?
93
00:05:09,721 --> 00:05:12,747
Of course not.
It's a very important and valuable business.
94
00:05:12,891 --> 00:05:17,089
- Here. I'm sorry we bothered you.
- All right, all right.
95
00:05:17,229 --> 00:05:20,596
I'll do all the worrying.
I'll take care of Uncle George.
96
00:05:20,732 --> 00:05:23,792
I'll take care of everything.
Only will you go home?
97
00:05:23,936 --> 00:05:25,927
Go home right now.
98
00:05:41,353 --> 00:05:43,821
Well? Where is he?
99
00:05:43,956 --> 00:05:45,821
- Your uncle George?
- Mm-hmm.
100
00:05:45,958 --> 00:05:48,051
- He hasn't come in yet.
- Of course not.
101
00:05:48,193 --> 00:05:50,093
The infantile adult never behaves.
102
00:05:50,229 --> 00:05:51,958
Oh, but we have plenty of work
to do without him.
103
00:05:52,097 --> 00:05:54,122
This arrived in the morning mail.
104
00:05:54,266 --> 00:05:56,200
I'm sure you don't
have to worry about your uncle.
105
00:05:56,335 --> 00:05:57,893
His car keys?
106
00:05:58,036 --> 00:05:59,867
Well, if that doesn't just take--
107
00:06:00,005 --> 00:06:01,495
[phone rings]
108
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,437
Hello?
109
00:06:03,575 --> 00:06:06,567
Oh, uh, hello, Mr. Cullens.
110
00:06:06,712 --> 00:06:08,976
No, he just stepped out for a moment.
111
00:06:09,114 --> 00:06:10,411
Is there any message I can--
112
00:06:12,384 --> 00:06:14,284
What?
113
00:06:14,419 --> 00:06:15,818
The Bedford diamonds?
114
00:06:17,456 --> 00:06:20,186
One moment, Mr. Cullins.
115
00:06:20,325 --> 00:06:22,919
Tell him it's all right.
It'll be taken care of right on time.
116
00:06:23,061 --> 00:06:24,892
What are the Bedford diamonds?
117
00:06:25,030 --> 00:06:27,863
Your aunt Sarah was down
earlier this morning and opened the safe.
118
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,696
I can do the job myself.
It's just a recutting job
119
00:06:30,836 --> 00:06:32,667
that Mr. Cullens brought down
for your uncle yesterday morning.
120
00:06:32,804 --> 00:06:34,738
Beautiful stones. I'll show them to you.
121
00:06:36,408 --> 00:06:38,273
Hello, Mr. Cullens.
122
00:06:38,410 --> 00:06:41,607
I believe those stones
are being worked on right now, so--
123
00:06:42,881 --> 00:06:45,372
Oh. Well, why didn't you say so?
124
00:06:45,517 --> 00:06:48,042
Yes, I'll give the instructions.
125
00:06:48,186 --> 00:06:50,177
Goodbye.
126
00:06:50,322 --> 00:06:52,654
Oh, that was a false alarm.
127
00:06:52,791 --> 00:06:54,418
He says don't cut the stones yet.
128
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,120
The owner wants to show them
to a possible buyer.
129
00:06:58,163 --> 00:07:00,495
Well, say something.
Isn't that all right?
130
00:07:00,632 --> 00:07:02,793
Mrs. Bedford's diamonds--
131
00:07:03,936 --> 00:07:05,062
they're not here.
132
00:07:06,972 --> 00:07:09,031
Perhaps you'd better start at the beginning.
133
00:07:09,174 --> 00:07:13,611
Mr. Mason, my aunt Sarah has never
taken a thing in her life.
134
00:07:13,745 --> 00:07:16,578
Her only trouble is
she just gives all the time.
135
00:07:16,715 --> 00:07:19,878
Only now she's sick,
and now she's disappeared again.
136
00:07:20,018 --> 00:07:23,112
She never took that taxi home,
don't you understand?
137
00:07:23,255 --> 00:07:27,316
You see, after the store apologized
for saying she'd been shoplifting--
138
00:07:27,459 --> 00:07:28,949
She had been shoplifting.
139
00:07:29,094 --> 00:07:31,858
All right. Of course she had.
140
00:07:31,997 --> 00:07:35,091
And now she's stolen
Mrs. Bedford's diamonds.
141
00:07:35,233 --> 00:07:38,031
I know she has them because
the foreman saw them in the safe
142
00:07:38,170 --> 00:07:41,765
when he and Uncle George locked up
last night, before he disappeared.
143
00:07:41,907 --> 00:07:46,071
Just as though all her unconscious
resentments had boiled up and snapped.
144
00:07:46,211 --> 00:07:47,803
Snapped at what?
145
00:07:47,946 --> 00:07:50,176
Well, at Uncle George, of course.
146
00:07:50,315 --> 00:07:53,148
All her life she's had to look out
for that-- that creature.
147
00:07:53,285 --> 00:07:56,379
I take it you don't like
George Trent very well.
148
00:07:57,723 --> 00:07:59,884
Whatever gives you that idea?
149
00:08:00,025 --> 00:08:03,426
I'm just realistic about my emotions,
that's all.
150
00:08:03,562 --> 00:08:05,325
Oh, I see.
151
00:08:05,464 --> 00:08:06,931
No, you don't.
152
00:08:07,065 --> 00:08:11,297
You see, the trouble with Uncle George
is he's never had any boyhood.
153
00:08:11,436 --> 00:08:13,495
He's always been good
and made money,
154
00:08:13,639 --> 00:08:18,008
and now he's 50, and, you see,
he has this innate repression,
155
00:08:18,143 --> 00:08:22,944
this subconscious rebellion
against environment which-- which--
156
00:08:23,081 --> 00:08:25,049
Which does what?
157
00:08:26,852 --> 00:08:28,786
Which makes him get drunk.
158
00:08:30,856 --> 00:08:32,016
Go on.
159
00:08:32,157 --> 00:08:34,387
Well, that's what the keys are all about.
160
00:08:34,526 --> 00:08:38,053
Whenever he feels one of his periods
of-- of release coming on,
161
00:08:38,196 --> 00:08:41,688
he puts his car keys in an envelope
and mails them to himself.
162
00:08:41,833 --> 00:08:45,030
I think that's a very good thing for a man
to do when he's going to start drinking.
163
00:08:45,170 --> 00:08:49,869
You needn't defend him, Mr. Mason,
because then it gets worse.
164
00:08:50,008 --> 00:08:51,805
When he drinks, he starts gambling.
165
00:08:51,943 --> 00:08:54,173
Sometimes he can lose
thousands of dollars.
166
00:08:54,312 --> 00:08:57,941
If you don't think a lifetime of that
is enough to make my aunt Sarah snap--
167
00:08:58,984 --> 00:09:01,578
Excuse me, Perry. There's
a Mr. Austin Cullens to see you.
168
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,483
I'll just go right in, if you don't mind.
169
00:09:03,622 --> 00:09:05,487
Ginny, what the devil's going on?
170
00:09:05,624 --> 00:09:08,787
You running to lawyers, stores phoning me
for character references about your aunt,
171
00:09:08,927 --> 00:09:10,724
your uncle's foreman
running all over the place
172
00:09:10,862 --> 00:09:12,591
like a chicken
with his head chopped off--
173
00:09:12,731 --> 00:09:14,460
Yes, I know those diamonds are missing.
174
00:09:14,599 --> 00:09:17,363
Please listen, Mr. Cullens.
We're going to find them.
175
00:09:17,502 --> 00:09:18,901
Rather, Mr. Mason is.
176
00:09:19,037 --> 00:09:21,471
And we'll find Uncle George
and Aunt Sarah, too,
177
00:09:21,606 --> 00:09:24,268
but you must realize that she's not well.
178
00:09:24,409 --> 00:09:27,901
She'd never do anything like this
if she weren't so psychologically upset.
179
00:09:28,046 --> 00:09:31,015
Oh, gobbledegook.
Hello, Mr. Mason. I'm Austin Cullens.
180
00:09:31,149 --> 00:09:32,673
I've known this kid since she was this high.
181
00:09:32,818 --> 00:09:34,115
Used the same silly words then.
182
00:09:34,252 --> 00:09:36,413
- Mr. Cullens--
- Sarah Breel is no more sick than I am.
183
00:09:36,555 --> 00:09:39,217
She's just putting on an act
to cover for George, that's all.
184
00:09:39,357 --> 00:09:40,619
Just what do you mean, Mr. Cullens?
185
00:09:40,759 --> 00:09:42,056
The old mother hen.
186
00:09:42,194 --> 00:09:44,594
Doesn't want me getting sore
and accusing George of grand theft.
187
00:09:44,730 --> 00:09:46,994
Ginny, you know very well
he has those diamonds--
188
00:09:47,132 --> 00:09:49,794
probably hocking them
in some poker game right now.
189
00:09:49,935 --> 00:09:52,563
If that is the case,
what do you intend to do about it?
190
00:09:52,704 --> 00:09:53,796
Nothing.
191
00:09:53,939 --> 00:09:55,736
We've been friends
for twenty years, Mr. Mason.
192
00:09:55,874 --> 00:09:57,307
I'll get those stones back.
193
00:09:57,442 --> 00:10:00,639
Those stones actually belong
to a Mrs. Bedford, isn't that right?
194
00:10:00,779 --> 00:10:03,577
I'm a dealer in gems-- buy and sell.
This time I'm acting as an agent.
195
00:10:03,715 --> 00:10:06,183
Now lone Bedford has a buyer
who wants to look at things and--
196
00:10:06,318 --> 00:10:08,980
Mr. Cullens, you just can't tell
Mrs. Bedford any of this.
197
00:10:09,121 --> 00:10:10,213
Of course I can.
198
00:10:10,355 --> 00:10:11,822
I can also tell her not to worry.
199
00:10:11,957 --> 00:10:13,925
George Trent has never let me down yet.
200
00:10:14,059 --> 00:10:16,527
Ginny, you've got to learn something.
201
00:10:16,661 --> 00:10:20,222
In a difficult situation,
the only thing to do is tell the truth.
202
00:10:21,466 --> 00:10:22,933
He has a point, Virginia.
203
00:10:23,068 --> 00:10:25,502
Now you come along
and stop pestering people.
204
00:10:25,637 --> 00:10:26,797
You're the one who needs a drink.
205
00:10:26,938 --> 00:10:28,132
All right.
206
00:10:28,273 --> 00:10:30,434
Oh, goodbye, Mr. Mason.
207
00:10:30,575 --> 00:10:31,735
Goodbye, Virginia.
208
00:10:32,744 --> 00:10:35,269
Della, get hold of Paul Drake.
209
00:10:35,413 --> 00:10:37,347
I want him to start looking in a hurry.
210
00:10:37,482 --> 00:10:38,744
For the diamonds, Perry?
211
00:10:38,884 --> 00:10:40,408
No, for Aunt Sarah.
212
00:10:41,686 --> 00:10:42,675
Look where?
213
00:10:42,821 --> 00:10:47,190
Oh, begin with police headquarters,
ambulance calls, emergency hospitals.
214
00:10:50,562 --> 00:10:52,120
Oh, Mr. Mason.
215
00:10:52,264 --> 00:10:53,822
Good evening, Andre.
216
00:10:53,965 --> 00:10:55,455
I have a message for you.
217
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,261
From Mr. Drake?
He was going to meet me here.
218
00:10:57,402 --> 00:10:59,393
Your exchange-- a number to call.
219
00:11:02,507 --> 00:11:04,338
Here it is.
220
00:11:04,476 --> 00:11:05,704
Thank you.
221
00:11:07,445 --> 00:11:09,743
Mrs. Ione Bedford.
222
00:11:11,516 --> 00:11:15,213
Well, the minute I found out
my beautiful diamonds had disappeared,
223
00:11:15,353 --> 00:11:17,821
I told Austin Cullens I was going to sue.
224
00:11:17,956 --> 00:11:19,981
You were going to sue?
225
00:11:20,125 --> 00:11:22,753
Well, you don't think
I'd run the risk of being mussed up
226
00:11:22,894 --> 00:11:24,725
by the famous Perry Mason--
227
00:11:24,863 --> 00:11:27,127
Legally speaking, that is.
228
00:11:28,567 --> 00:11:31,297
What else made you
change your mind, Mrs. Bedford?
229
00:11:31,436 --> 00:11:34,997
Well, Austin found the diamonds.
230
00:11:35,140 --> 00:11:38,132
They're at a place
called the Golden Platter, I think.
231
00:11:38,276 --> 00:11:41,439
Apparently, that ridiculous George person
232
00:11:41,580 --> 00:11:43,741
had borrowed money on them
to gamble with.
233
00:11:43,882 --> 00:11:46,680
Did Mr. Cullens get the diamonds
back for you?
234
00:11:46,818 --> 00:11:50,879
Well, the people are still hemming
and hawing a little, I gather.
235
00:11:51,022 --> 00:11:55,857
But Aussie says that's the usual noise,
so we'll pay a little extra.
236
00:11:55,994 --> 00:11:59,157
But he says don't worry,
he can handle it, all right.
237
00:11:59,297 --> 00:12:02,232
And I did want you to know, Mr. Mason,
238
00:12:02,367 --> 00:12:04,927
that there's nothing more
that needs to be done.
239
00:12:05,070 --> 00:12:06,162
Bye-bye.
240
00:12:11,476 --> 00:12:13,706
Perry, this is Sergeant Gifford.
241
00:12:13,845 --> 00:12:15,107
How do you do, Sergeant?
242
00:12:15,247 --> 00:12:16,839
The sergeant is not something I dug up.
243
00:12:16,982 --> 00:12:19,177
So far, this hasn't been my day
for finding people.
244
00:12:19,317 --> 00:12:21,342
I came here to find you, Mr. Mason.
245
00:12:21,486 --> 00:12:26,014
I understand you guys been asking
all over town for a Mrs. Sarah Breel, right?
246
00:12:26,157 --> 00:12:28,022
What about Mrs. Breel, Sergeant?
247
00:12:28,159 --> 00:12:29,524
What is it you want?
248
00:12:29,661 --> 00:12:33,392
I want to know how come
you seemed to know in advance
249
00:12:33,531 --> 00:12:35,328
that the old lady was going to be hurt.
250
00:12:35,467 --> 00:12:36,456
Hurt?
251
00:12:36,601 --> 00:12:40,560
She was struck down by a car
less than an hour ago.
252
00:12:40,705 --> 00:12:43,003
She's in emergency hospital.
253
00:12:45,377 --> 00:12:46,935
Fractured left ankle.
254
00:12:47,078 --> 00:12:50,241
She's pretty badly bruised.
A slight concussion.
255
00:12:50,382 --> 00:12:52,043
Is that why she's still unconscious?
256
00:12:52,183 --> 00:12:54,481
No, no. I gave her a sedative for pain.
257
00:12:54,619 --> 00:12:58,385
When she came to, after she'd been hit,
her mind seemed to wander a good deal.
258
00:12:58,523 --> 00:13:00,286
She couldn't remember anything.
259
00:13:00,425 --> 00:13:02,325
Sergeant,
I'm going to take her upstairs now.
260
00:13:02,460 --> 00:13:03,950
Okay.
261
00:13:04,095 --> 00:13:06,256
But remember,
that officer stays on duty up there.
262
00:13:06,398 --> 00:13:08,525
Why? What has she done?
263
00:13:08,667 --> 00:13:11,864
Maybe you can tell me a few whys,
Mr. Mason.
264
00:13:12,003 --> 00:13:13,368
Follow me.
265
00:13:16,675 --> 00:13:20,668
Apparently, the old lady was just running
along a sidewalk out on Rupert Street.
266
00:13:20,812 --> 00:13:25,647
She jumped out between parked cars.
Some guy coming along slow hit her.
267
00:13:25,784 --> 00:13:27,718
Have you got the driver of the car?
268
00:13:27,852 --> 00:13:30,480
I talked to him. It wasn't his fault.
269
00:13:30,622 --> 00:13:34,524
He says some kind of blue sedan
pulled out from the curb in front of him.
270
00:13:34,659 --> 00:13:37,321
He swerved, so he didn't see the dame
when she ran out,
271
00:13:37,462 --> 00:13:39,987
and not in a crosswalk, either.
272
00:13:40,131 --> 00:13:41,621
Here.
273
00:13:41,766 --> 00:13:45,031
This is the stuff that fell out of her purse
when she was hit.
274
00:13:46,938 --> 00:13:48,405
The gun, too?
275
00:13:48,540 --> 00:13:49,973
That's right.
276
00:13:50,108 --> 00:13:53,373
But you don't actually know
that it was ever in her purse, of course.
277
00:13:53,511 --> 00:13:56,605
It was just found there
on the pavement, I suppose.
278
00:13:56,748 --> 00:14:00,809
All right, Mason, try to dodge this.
279
00:14:03,488 --> 00:14:05,479
Look rather like diamonds.
280
00:14:05,623 --> 00:14:06,851
Huh.
281
00:14:06,992 --> 00:14:10,428
Like a measly fifty thousand bucks'
worth, maybe.
282
00:14:10,562 --> 00:14:12,894
So what don't you know about them?
283
00:14:13,031 --> 00:14:16,626
Sergeant, since I've never
seen these stones before,
284
00:14:16,768 --> 00:14:19,100
I obviously can't make
any statements about them.
285
00:14:19,237 --> 00:14:20,363
Now look here, Mason--
286
00:14:20,505 --> 00:14:24,305
And since I can't talk to Mrs. Breel,
I can't ask her about them, can I.
287
00:14:24,442 --> 00:14:27,969
So if you'll excuse me,
I have my own work to do.
288
00:14:28,113 --> 00:14:29,171
Good night.
289
00:14:38,056 --> 00:14:40,024
Paul, have you located Virginia Trent?
290
00:14:40,158 --> 00:14:42,353
No, not yet. But the police must have
her name or number
291
00:14:42,494 --> 00:14:44,325
from Sarah's identification.
292
00:14:44,462 --> 00:14:47,522
Perry, I just tried her phone.
293
00:14:47,665 --> 00:14:49,656
That's not what I'm looking for.
294
00:14:50,802 --> 00:14:51,996
Here it is.
295
00:14:52,137 --> 00:14:54,401
Cullens. Austin Cullens.
296
00:14:54,539 --> 00:14:57,099
9461 Rupert Street.
297
00:15:12,657 --> 00:15:15,524
Sarah's accident must have been
back there near the corner.
298
00:15:17,395 --> 00:15:18,555
Paul.
299
00:15:24,335 --> 00:15:26,200
Anybody home?
300
00:15:26,337 --> 00:15:27,804
Mr. Cullens?
301
00:15:30,575 --> 00:15:32,475
Wait a minute, there's a lamp over here.
302
00:15:38,283 --> 00:15:39,614
Scorched.
303
00:15:42,487 --> 00:15:45,183
No wonder. Somebody put a penny in it.
304
00:15:50,628 --> 00:15:51,788
Paul.
305
00:15:56,501 --> 00:15:57,661
It's Austin Cullens.
306
00:15:57,802 --> 00:15:59,997
He's been shot.
307
00:16:00,138 --> 00:16:01,366
He's dead.
308
00:16:08,980 --> 00:16:10,277
Here, Perry.
309
00:16:10,415 --> 00:16:14,078
His shirt was pulled out,
and this was tied around his waist.
310
00:16:14,219 --> 00:16:15,948
Chamois bag of some sort.
311
00:16:16,087 --> 00:16:21,855
Not just some sort. It's the type of pouch
that gem dealers often carry.
312
00:16:21,993 --> 00:16:25,656
Only that Cullens' pouch
was inside out and empty.
313
00:16:26,698 --> 00:16:29,326
Then we don't know
what was ever inside it, do we?
314
00:16:29,467 --> 00:16:30,525
Oh, no, no.
315
00:16:30,668 --> 00:16:33,933
It couldn't have been those diamonds
we saw by the old lady's bag.
316
00:16:34,072 --> 00:16:35,130
Of course not.
317
00:16:35,273 --> 00:16:36,706
Excuse me, Lieutenant.
318
00:16:36,841 --> 00:16:38,206
Yes, Gifford?
319
00:16:40,145 --> 00:16:42,045
[whispering]
320
00:16:42,180 --> 00:16:44,546
Please don't leave quite yet.
321
00:16:44,682 --> 00:16:47,742
Tragg, I've reported a crime.
I've told you all I can about it.
322
00:16:47,886 --> 00:16:49,649
- Hah.
- Never mind, Sergeant.
323
00:16:49,787 --> 00:16:53,814
Perry, about that gun
we found in Sarah Breel's purse.
324
00:16:53,958 --> 00:16:57,052
It wasn't actually found
in the purse, as I recall.
325
00:16:57,195 --> 00:16:59,686
Two shots were fired from that gun,
326
00:16:59,831 --> 00:17:02,425
and one slug was found in Cullens' body.
327
00:17:02,567 --> 00:17:05,297
And I'm sure I'll find the other one
around here any minute now.
328
00:17:05,436 --> 00:17:07,904
Lieutenant, you haven't even run
a ballistics check yet.
329
00:17:08,039 --> 00:17:10,974
No, but we've traced
the gun's serial number,
330
00:17:11,109 --> 00:17:13,703
and it's registered
to the George Trent Company.
331
00:17:13,845 --> 00:17:16,939
- So what?
- It was kept in an office desk--
332
00:17:17,081 --> 00:17:19,481
the same desk Sarah Breel used
whenever she was there.
333
00:17:19,617 --> 00:17:22,552
It was seen in that desk
just a few days ago.
334
00:17:22,687 --> 00:17:23,847
Who says all this?
335
00:17:23,988 --> 00:17:26,821
Old dame has a niece named Virginia Trent.
336
00:17:26,958 --> 00:17:29,552
One of our men's been talking to her
down at the hospital.
337
00:17:29,694 --> 00:17:31,525
And of course the girl insists
338
00:17:31,663 --> 00:17:34,996
that her Aunt Sarah just couldn't
commit such a horrible crime.
339
00:17:35,133 --> 00:17:38,227
Tragg, someone stuck a penny
in a light socket,
340
00:17:38,369 --> 00:17:40,837
probably so Cullens would blow a fuse
when he came home.
341
00:17:40,972 --> 00:17:44,499
An assailant who preferred darkness,
in other words.
342
00:17:44,642 --> 00:17:48,408
Well, if that sounds
like an old lady's trick to you--
343
00:17:48,546 --> 00:17:51,071
It sounds like you think
you're in court already.
344
00:17:51,216 --> 00:17:53,081
Relax, Tragg.
345
00:17:53,218 --> 00:17:55,778
In this case, believe it or not,
I don't even have a client yet.
346
00:17:56,788 --> 00:18:00,781
But Ginny says I need you for my lawyer.
347
00:18:00,925 --> 00:18:04,861
And I've known all day how badly
you need help, Mrs. Breel.
348
00:18:04,996 --> 00:18:08,261
But I can't very well represent you
unless you tell me the truth.
349
00:18:08,399 --> 00:18:11,698
Oh, dear, haven't I?
350
00:18:11,836 --> 00:18:14,737
I'm supposed to be sleeping, they said.
351
00:18:14,872 --> 00:18:19,241
And I'm held under suspicion of something.
352
00:18:19,377 --> 00:18:21,174
Murder, Mrs. Breel.
353
00:18:22,347 --> 00:18:24,872
I know you can't really talk much
until morning.
354
00:18:25,016 --> 00:18:30,044
But if you could just tell me
why you went out to Austin Cullens' house.
355
00:18:32,023 --> 00:18:34,082
Department store.
356
00:18:34,225 --> 00:18:36,250
I remember seeing you,
357
00:18:36,394 --> 00:18:40,455
and then, later on, I had a lamb chop
for dinner somewhere,
358
00:18:40,598 --> 00:18:45,797
but... oh, no,
I'm not even sure I remember that.
359
00:18:45,937 --> 00:18:47,131
All right.
360
00:18:48,439 --> 00:18:51,567
You can let me know in the morning
if you've changed your mind.
361
00:18:51,709 --> 00:18:53,438
And my brother.
362
00:18:53,578 --> 00:18:57,480
Poor little George.
I think I was looking for him.
363
00:18:58,716 --> 00:19:03,244
Oh, everything would be so much
clearer if only I could find George.
364
00:19:03,388 --> 00:19:06,050
I've got a man trying to trace him
right now, Mrs. Breel,
365
00:19:06,190 --> 00:19:08,249
but we're not having any luck.
366
00:19:08,393 --> 00:19:10,884
Well, there. You're doing it.
367
00:19:11,029 --> 00:19:13,429
So you already are my lawyer.
368
00:19:15,199 --> 00:19:19,226
Now that's settled.
I can go to sleep happy, Mr. Mason.
369
00:19:32,717 --> 00:19:34,446
You want to see me?
370
00:19:34,585 --> 00:19:36,883
Yes, Mr. Golding, I do. I'm Paul Drake.
371
00:19:37,021 --> 00:19:39,182
I know. Come on in the office.
372
00:19:48,700 --> 00:19:51,498
You own and operate
the Golden Platter, I understand.
373
00:19:51,636 --> 00:19:53,399
I got a message.
You're looking for George Trent.
374
00:19:53,538 --> 00:19:57,372
A man named Austin Cullens
told someone that Trent had been here
375
00:19:57,508 --> 00:19:58,998
during the last day or two.
376
00:19:59,143 --> 00:20:02,135
I know Trent. Big drinker.
Big plunger.
377
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:03,770
But not often. Not for months.
378
00:20:03,915 --> 00:20:05,405
Somebody told somebody wrong,
that's all.
379
00:20:05,550 --> 00:20:08,883
Apparently, Trent hocked
some diamonds with you
380
00:20:09,020 --> 00:20:10,248
to get money to gamble with.
381
00:20:10,388 --> 00:20:14,051
I run a quiet business, Mr. Drake.
382
00:20:14,192 --> 00:20:16,717
You run a joint,
and you've had trouble with the police.
383
00:20:16,861 --> 00:20:20,888
Now I think Cullens got those diamonds
back from you, maybe just this evening.
384
00:20:21,032 --> 00:20:23,000
I never met anybody named Cullens.
385
00:20:23,134 --> 00:20:24,761
Now get out of here.
386
00:20:24,902 --> 00:20:26,995
Then you don't care if he's dead.
387
00:20:28,906 --> 00:20:30,168
If what?
388
00:20:30,308 --> 00:20:33,869
Cullens was murdered,
probably just after leaving your place.
389
00:20:34,011 --> 00:20:36,241
Just in case you didn't know.
390
00:20:39,016 --> 00:20:41,712
What's this guy Cullens look like?
391
00:20:41,853 --> 00:20:44,515
Six feet tall, medium build.
392
00:20:44,655 --> 00:20:47,317
Okay. Never mind.
That's the same bird, all right.
393
00:20:47,458 --> 00:20:49,289
Heleft here about 7:00, no later.
394
00:20:49,427 --> 00:20:50,917
After what?
395
00:20:51,062 --> 00:20:52,996
After taking back the diamonds?
396
00:20:54,699 --> 00:20:56,860
After he asked the same
stupid questions you did
397
00:20:57,001 --> 00:20:58,491
and after I gave him the same answers.
398
00:20:58,636 --> 00:21:01,036
I haven't seen Trent,
and I haven't seen any diamonds.
399
00:21:01,172 --> 00:21:03,538
Now good night, Mr. Drake.
400
00:21:05,510 --> 00:21:07,239
Good night, Mr. Golding.
401
00:21:26,764 --> 00:21:28,163
I'm going out, Joe.
402
00:21:28,299 --> 00:21:29,960
I'll be back in a little while.
403
00:21:43,681 --> 00:21:45,740
They're lovely, aren't they?
404
00:21:45,883 --> 00:21:47,783
The diamonds.
405
00:21:47,919 --> 00:21:51,582
I thought you'd like to know about it
as quickly as possible
406
00:21:51,722 --> 00:21:53,690
that your diamonds had been found.
407
00:21:53,825 --> 00:21:56,988
I never mind company at this hour.
408
00:21:57,128 --> 00:21:59,824
Only where did you get the picture,
Mr. Mason?
409
00:21:59,964 --> 00:22:02,694
From the police department.
410
00:22:02,834 --> 00:22:05,234
They have the diamonds
down there right now.
411
00:22:05,369 --> 00:22:08,429
They were found
in some woman's purse, you say?
412
00:22:08,573 --> 00:22:10,871
The last I knew, Aussie Cullens phoned
413
00:22:11,008 --> 00:22:15,445
and said he could get my diamonds back
from some gambling place, like I told you.
414
00:22:15,580 --> 00:22:17,548
That the last time you talked to Cullens?
415
00:22:17,682 --> 00:22:19,843
Well, yes.
416
00:22:19,984 --> 00:22:23,442
Only I do think I should be
talking to him again, don't you?
417
00:22:23,588 --> 00:22:27,285
Why you came to see me instead of him
I really--
418
00:22:27,425 --> 00:22:28,983
I just wanted to show you this picture.
419
00:22:29,126 --> 00:22:32,220
I thought you'd be glad to know
that your diamonds had been recovered.
420
00:22:34,365 --> 00:22:37,300
Well, I'm not, particularly.
421
00:22:37,435 --> 00:22:39,835
You see, those aren't my diamonds.
422
00:22:39,971 --> 00:22:42,735
I've never seen those stones
before in my life.
423
00:22:42,874 --> 00:22:44,842
You're sure?
424
00:22:44,976 --> 00:22:46,238
Here, take another look.
425
00:22:46,377 --> 00:22:48,345
They're not mine, I tell you.
I don't know anything about them!
426
00:22:48,479 --> 00:22:49,969
[doorbell buzzes]
427
00:22:50,114 --> 00:22:52,309
All right, relax.
428
00:22:52,450 --> 00:22:55,180
A man named Paul Drake
knows I'm here, and--
429
00:22:59,857 --> 00:23:00,915
- Yeah.
- Pete.
430
00:23:01,058 --> 00:23:02,457
I thought I heard a man's voice in here.
431
00:23:02,593 --> 00:23:05,858
This is Pete-- Mr. Chennery my husband,
but we haven't been living together--
432
00:23:05,997 --> 00:23:07,191
- Aw, shut up.
- Pete, this is--
433
00:23:07,331 --> 00:23:09,128
I know who he is. What do you think
I been watching you for?
434
00:23:09,267 --> 00:23:10,632
Cullens, I'm going to wring your neck.
435
00:23:10,768 --> 00:23:13,703
Stop it, Pete. This is Mr. Mason.
He's a lawyer.
436
00:23:13,838 --> 00:23:17,365
I'm sorry to disappoint you,
437
00:23:17,508 --> 00:23:20,068
but Austin Cullens is already dead.
438
00:23:20,211 --> 00:23:22,543
He's been murdered.
439
00:23:24,115 --> 00:23:26,083
So that's why you came to see me.
440
00:23:26,217 --> 00:23:29,186
You think I had something to do
with Austin Cullens.
441
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:30,947
You went out with the guy, didn't you?
442
00:23:31,088 --> 00:23:32,953
You moved out of our place,
changed your name.
443
00:23:33,090 --> 00:23:34,455
Oh, stop it, you fool.
444
00:23:34,592 --> 00:23:42,021
Yes, Mr. Mason, I--
I did let Austin Cullens take me out.
445
00:23:42,166 --> 00:23:45,431
I even helped him sell
his diamonds and things.
446
00:23:45,570 --> 00:23:47,800
What do you mean
helped him sell his diamonds?
447
00:23:47,939 --> 00:23:53,707
You see, Mr. Mason, the reason I couldn't
identify those things in the picture
448
00:23:53,844 --> 00:23:57,940
is because I don't own any diamonds.
449
00:23:58,082 --> 00:23:59,845
I never did.
450
00:24:01,018 --> 00:24:07,981
He used me to pretend, to put on a show
of being rich and owning jewelry.
451
00:24:08,125 --> 00:24:10,218
It helped him get a much higher price,
he said. He--
452
00:24:10,361 --> 00:24:12,056
You call me a fool.
453
00:24:12,196 --> 00:24:15,791
Oh, Pete, darling, please understand.
454
00:24:15,933 --> 00:24:19,096
Was Austin Cullens a crook?
455
00:24:19,236 --> 00:24:22,467
Is that why you're so frightened now?
456
00:24:22,607 --> 00:24:25,599
I don't really know what he was.
457
00:24:25,743 --> 00:24:28,576
At first I just thought
I was helping him in his business,
458
00:24:28,713 --> 00:24:30,738
but then he kept mentioning
more and more gems--
459
00:24:30,881 --> 00:24:32,109
Ione, don't tell him any more.
460
00:24:32,249 --> 00:24:33,477
But Pete, if Aussie's been murdered--
461
00:24:33,618 --> 00:24:36,883
You need your own lawyer, not this one.
Get out of here, Mason.
462
00:24:37,021 --> 00:24:39,114
You're right, Mr. Chennery.
463
00:24:40,358 --> 00:24:42,792
Maybe you both need lawyers.
464
00:24:47,398 --> 00:24:50,265
Pete, darling, I'm so glad to see you.
465
00:24:50,401 --> 00:24:51,425
- [slap]
- [lone gasps]
466
00:24:51,569 --> 00:24:53,366
What is this with you
and this Cullens guy?
467
00:24:53,504 --> 00:24:54,664
What's been going on here?
468
00:24:54,805 --> 00:24:57,171
Nothing's been going on, darling.
You've got to understand.
469
00:24:57,308 --> 00:24:58,366
What are you talking about?
470
00:24:58,509 --> 00:25:00,943
Where'd you get this place
and those clothes and everything?
471
00:25:01,078 --> 00:25:03,273
Fence?
472
00:25:03,414 --> 00:25:06,941
But I-- I don't understand.
473
00:25:07,084 --> 00:25:11,544
I'm sure we'll that find Austin Cullens
was dealing in stolen jewels.
474
00:25:11,689 --> 00:25:15,489
He used lone Bedford
to put up a front as owner of certain items
475
00:25:15,626 --> 00:25:17,355
so that they could be sold
on an open market
476
00:25:17,495 --> 00:25:20,020
instead of the usual half-price
underworld deal.
477
00:25:20,164 --> 00:25:22,291
We've known Austin for years.
478
00:25:22,433 --> 00:25:25,493
Under certain compulsions,
a person can change, Aunt Sarah.
479
00:25:25,636 --> 00:25:28,298
- Now don't you think you ought to--
- But George always trusted Austin.
480
00:25:28,439 --> 00:25:29,633
He used to be honest.
481
00:25:29,774 --> 00:25:32,675
And you've always trusted
your brother George, of course,
482
00:25:32,810 --> 00:25:34,573
or so you've claimed.
483
00:25:34,712 --> 00:25:36,339
What?
484
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:38,607
Auntie, you just can't go on
trying to protect--
485
00:25:38,749 --> 00:25:42,515
Ginny, I've told you before,
I'll do all the talking in this family.
486
00:25:42,653 --> 00:25:45,816
Mrs. Breel, I want to know
what happened last night.
487
00:25:45,956 --> 00:25:48,982
Oh, if only I could remember.
488
00:25:50,394 --> 00:25:52,362
Mrs. Breel, ballistics has now proved
489
00:25:52,496 --> 00:25:55,897
that the bullet that killed Cullens
came from that gun in your purse.
490
00:25:56,033 --> 00:25:59,560
They've also found blood on one
of your shoes that matches Cullens' blood.
491
00:25:59,704 --> 00:26:02,571
They'll be ready for a hearing
on your case almost immediately.
492
00:26:02,707 --> 00:26:04,174
Well--
493
00:26:05,342 --> 00:26:07,367
Well, I'm not afraid of that.
494
00:26:07,511 --> 00:26:09,877
I'll defend you with nothing if I have to.
495
00:26:10,014 --> 00:26:12,608
But I'd much rather show
all the pains you went to--
496
00:26:12,750 --> 00:26:14,183
losing your memory, shoplifting--
497
00:26:14,318 --> 00:26:16,786
just so you'd be taken for a thief
instead of George Trent.
498
00:26:16,921 --> 00:26:20,288
Maybe even so you'd take the blame
for a murder instead of--
499
00:26:20,424 --> 00:26:21,948
I can't help it, Mr. Mason.
500
00:26:22,093 --> 00:26:27,224
Until you find George, I'm afraid
you'll just have to--
501
00:26:27,364 --> 00:26:29,730
have to do without me.
502
00:26:44,014 --> 00:26:45,743
No more keys in the mail?
503
00:26:45,883 --> 00:26:47,748
No postcards from Las Vegas?
504
00:26:47,885 --> 00:26:50,217
There's nothing from Uncle George.
505
00:26:50,354 --> 00:26:53,448
I suppose the police
have been through here already.
506
00:26:53,591 --> 00:26:56,651
Yes. They looked at the safe last night.
507
00:26:56,794 --> 00:26:58,955
What's this other door key on here?
508
00:26:59,096 --> 00:27:00,563
Oh, that's just for storage.
509
00:27:00,698 --> 00:27:02,962
Uncle George rented the office
next door for shipping and things,
510
00:27:03,100 --> 00:27:04,362
but he doesn't use it anymore.
511
00:27:04,502 --> 00:27:07,164
[phone rings]
512
00:27:08,739 --> 00:27:10,070
Hello?
513
00:27:10,207 --> 00:27:11,606
Oh.
514
00:27:14,411 --> 00:27:17,778
Yes, this is the Trent Company,
but there's no one here right now.
515
00:27:18,949 --> 00:27:20,576
No, I told you--
516
00:27:20,718 --> 00:27:23,084
Oh. Yes, he is.
517
00:27:23,220 --> 00:27:24,710
One moment, please.
518
00:27:25,790 --> 00:27:27,849
Who's calling?
519
00:27:27,992 --> 00:27:29,619
Mr. Drake.
520
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:30,749
[clatter]
521
00:27:30,895 --> 00:27:32,021
Mr. Mason?
522
00:27:32,163 --> 00:27:33,289
In here, Virginia.
523
00:27:33,430 --> 00:27:36,331
What happened?
There's a Mr. Paul Dr--
524
00:27:36,467 --> 00:27:39,368
I tried to move one of the crates.
525
00:27:39,503 --> 00:27:40,765
It turned over.
526
00:27:41,806 --> 00:27:44,400
I'd guess he's been dead
for a couple of days.
527
00:27:46,944 --> 00:27:49,174
Uncle George.
528
00:27:49,313 --> 00:27:51,304
Oh, Mr. Mason.
529
00:27:56,687 --> 00:28:00,282
So George Trent's been dead
ever since this whole thing began.
530
00:28:00,424 --> 00:28:03,825
The police doctor thinks he was probably
shot sometime late Monday night.
531
00:28:03,961 --> 00:28:07,920
It was Tuesday morning when Sarah Breel
got in trouble for shoplifting.
532
00:28:08,065 --> 00:28:10,829
And now it's Wednesday, and they're still
going ahead with a hearing right away?
533
00:28:10,968 --> 00:28:14,870
Burger feels he has an airtight case against
Mrs. Breel for killing Austin Cullens.
534
00:28:15,005 --> 00:28:17,803
Is he going to claim
she killed her brother, too?
535
00:28:17,942 --> 00:28:22,504
Well, two shots had been fired from that gun
they claim fell from her purse, remember.
536
00:28:22,646 --> 00:28:24,910
But you said the bullets
couldn't be matched.
537
00:28:25,049 --> 00:28:28,177
The slug that killed Trent
went through his body
538
00:28:28,319 --> 00:28:30,913
and flattened when it hit an iron pipe
there in the office.
539
00:28:31,055 --> 00:28:34,718
But it weighs the same as the other,
and it's not only the same calibre,
540
00:28:34,859 --> 00:28:40,195
but analysis shows it's the same alloy
and the same manufacturer.
541
00:28:40,331 --> 00:28:42,959
Well, that still doesn't prove anything.
542
00:28:43,100 --> 00:28:45,091
And, as for who killed Trent,
543
00:28:45,236 --> 00:28:48,967
a lonely office building, late at night,
no exact time of death.
544
00:28:49,106 --> 00:28:52,598
Check. That's why they'll stick
to one murder charge at a time.
545
00:28:52,743 --> 00:28:56,201
Well, here's what I had
to report on the Cullens case
546
00:28:56,347 --> 00:29:00,306
before I was so rudely interrupted--
one blue sedan.
547
00:29:00,451 --> 00:29:01,509
A what?
548
00:29:01,652 --> 00:29:05,713
Last night, when I followed the owner
of the gambling joint, Bill Golding,
549
00:29:05,856 --> 00:29:08,416
he went straight home,
then straight back again,
550
00:29:08,559 --> 00:29:10,857
but this time he used a different car.
551
00:29:10,995 --> 00:29:14,726
Then this morning, Golding drove
the first car to a used car lot
552
00:29:14,865 --> 00:29:17,959
and sold it for $2,700.
553
00:29:18,102 --> 00:29:19,228
A blue sedan?
554
00:29:19,370 --> 00:29:23,636
I didn't click on any of this until I read
the police report on your client's accident.
555
00:29:23,774 --> 00:29:28,404
The man who hit her said a blue sedan
had just pulled away from the curb.
556
00:29:28,545 --> 00:29:33,881
Paul, if this man Golding
went out to Cullens' place last night--
557
00:29:34,018 --> 00:29:35,542
Don't get excited, Perry.
558
00:29:35,686 --> 00:29:37,950
Since then, Golding has disappeared.
559
00:29:38,088 --> 00:29:40,147
Oh, Paul.
560
00:29:40,291 --> 00:29:43,920
All right,
get every man you have on the job.
561
00:29:44,061 --> 00:29:47,394
Perry, can't your client help you now?
562
00:29:47,531 --> 00:29:49,260
After all, with her brother dead,
563
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,369
there's no point in the old dame
still protecting him, covering for him--
564
00:29:52,503 --> 00:29:54,368
That's my trouble, Paul.
565
00:29:54,505 --> 00:29:57,065
Now Sarah Breel's less help than ever.
566
00:29:57,207 --> 00:30:00,438
Now she insists
she can't remember anything.
567
00:30:00,577 --> 00:30:01,566
[intercom buzzes]
568
00:30:01,712 --> 00:30:04,374
Yeah, Gertie? For me? Put him on.
569
00:30:04,515 --> 00:30:06,278
Hi. This is Paul.
570
00:30:06,417 --> 00:30:09,386
You did? Good. Located Golding.
571
00:30:11,455 --> 00:30:13,514
Okay, I got it. Thanks.
572
00:30:15,125 --> 00:30:17,457
Well, no wonder we couldn't find him.
573
00:30:17,594 --> 00:30:20,154
Golding was picked up by the DA's office.
574
00:30:20,297 --> 00:30:21,764
They're keeping him under wraps
575
00:30:21,899 --> 00:30:24,265
planning to use him
as a prosecution witness.
576
00:30:37,414 --> 00:30:40,906
Well, Mr. Cullens phoned
and said he'd located the diamonds.
577
00:30:41,051 --> 00:30:43,713
I didn't know whether it was true or not.
578
00:30:43,854 --> 00:30:47,984
He seemed anxious that I phone
Mr. Mason for him and reassure him.
579
00:30:48,125 --> 00:30:52,653
Mostly he was worried that a lawyer
or anyone like that would become involved.
580
00:30:52,796 --> 00:30:55,128
Mrs. Chennery, have you ever seen
these diamonds before?
581
00:30:55,265 --> 00:31:00,032
Mr. Burger, I've told you a thousand times
I was not Mr. Cullens' partner.
582
00:31:00,170 --> 00:31:04,869
I-- I just pretended I owned things,
and he paid me for it.
583
00:31:05,009 --> 00:31:07,569
He called what he was doing
was good salesmanship.
584
00:31:07,711 --> 00:31:08,803
Salesmanship?
585
00:31:08,946 --> 00:31:11,574
I think we can find a better name
for it than that.
586
00:31:11,715 --> 00:31:14,912
[Gifford]
High-class fencing, I suppose you'd call it.
587
00:31:15,052 --> 00:31:18,351
Those diamonds were originally stolen
from a collection in New York City.
588
00:31:18,489 --> 00:31:23,722
So far we've traced three gem sales
that Cullens made from stolen items.
589
00:31:23,861 --> 00:31:26,489
All within the last few months, however.
590
00:31:26,630 --> 00:31:29,827
Apparently, Cullens' business
was quite legitimate for many years.
591
00:31:29,967 --> 00:31:33,164
Sergeant Gifford,
there's one thing that bothers me.
592
00:31:33,303 --> 00:31:35,669
Now, as an expert witness
on robbery matters,
593
00:31:35,806 --> 00:31:37,797
perhaps you can answer
one question for me.
594
00:31:37,941 --> 00:31:39,909
why would Austin Cullens take
595
00:31:40,044 --> 00:31:43,104
a stolen item like these diamonds
to George Trent?
596
00:31:43,247 --> 00:31:45,010
Same reason he used the lady there.
597
00:31:45,149 --> 00:31:48,414
Part of the come-on,
the buildup for the big sale.
598
00:31:48,552 --> 00:31:51,612
Or maybe he was nervous,
he wanted the stones recut
599
00:31:51,755 --> 00:31:53,518
so they wouldn't be identified too easy.
600
00:31:53,657 --> 00:31:55,056
There's a lot of reasons.
601
00:31:55,192 --> 00:31:57,956
One moment. Mr. Mason, you realize
602
00:31:58,095 --> 00:32:00,620
this is a speculative answer
and highly irregular.
603
00:32:00,764 --> 00:32:01,958
If you wish to make objection--
604
00:32:02,099 --> 00:32:04,192
On the contrary, Your Honor.
605
00:32:04,334 --> 00:32:05,824
Defense is quite willing to stipulate
606
00:32:05,969 --> 00:32:09,029
that almost anything
Austin Cullens did lately was criminal.
607
00:32:10,140 --> 00:32:14,099
Provided it is clear that we make no
stipulations regarding George Trent,
608
00:32:14,244 --> 00:32:19,147
either as to his involvement with Cullens
or as to his honesty.
609
00:32:19,283 --> 00:32:21,046
Mr. Burger?
610
00:32:21,185 --> 00:32:25,781
Well, in that case, Your Honor,
I have no further questions of this witness.
611
00:32:25,923 --> 00:32:27,254
[judge]
Mr. Mason?
612
00:32:29,226 --> 00:32:33,458
Sergeant Gifford,
you testified earlier that you were present
613
00:32:33,597 --> 00:32:36,225
when Homicide examined
the scene of Austin Cullens' death.
614
00:32:36,366 --> 00:32:39,062
Do you know whether they recovered
a second bullet anywhere in that room?
615
00:32:39,203 --> 00:32:41,194
No, sir, they didn't find it.
616
00:32:41,338 --> 00:32:43,932
Anyway, it's my understanding
they quit looking
617
00:32:44,074 --> 00:32:47,237
when George Trent's body was discovered
and the same calibre bullet--
618
00:32:47,377 --> 00:32:48,844
Just answer my questions,
please, Sergeant.
619
00:32:48,979 --> 00:32:50,173
Now, you were also present
620
00:32:50,314 --> 00:32:54,842
when the emptied gem pouch was removed
from Cullens' body, is that correct?
621
00:32:54,985 --> 00:32:55,974
It is.
622
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,918
Also from his trouser pockets,
one wallet, comb, handkerchief--
623
00:32:59,056 --> 00:33:00,353
Yeah, I helped with all that.
624
00:33:00,491 --> 00:33:03,289
Tell us.
Which pocket were his car keys in?
625
00:33:03,427 --> 00:33:04,587
Which?
626
00:33:05,963 --> 00:33:09,160
Well, right front pocket, I guess.
627
00:33:09,299 --> 00:33:11,290
Sure, same as the comb. I remember.
628
00:33:11,435 --> 00:33:13,926
And the four and a half dollars
in loose change?
629
00:33:14,071 --> 00:33:15,538
It was in the left pocket.
630
00:33:15,672 --> 00:33:18,800
- And his wallet?
- Left hip pocket.
631
00:33:18,942 --> 00:33:21,775
- Look, what's the point of--
- Then what was in his right hip pocket?
632
00:33:21,912 --> 00:33:22,901
What?
633
00:33:23,046 --> 00:33:24,604
That's all there is listed.
634
00:33:24,748 --> 00:33:28,343
Do you mean the man had nothing
in his right hip pocket?
635
00:33:28,485 --> 00:33:30,885
No, sir. It was empty.
636
00:33:31,021 --> 00:33:34,115
Didn't that strike you
as rather unusual, Sergeant,
637
00:33:34,258 --> 00:33:36,522
considering Mr. Cullens was right-handed?
638
00:33:40,197 --> 00:33:44,099
Well, I guess I just
never thought about that.
639
00:33:49,339 --> 00:33:50,704
Of course.
640
00:33:51,842 --> 00:33:54,402
You're only on robbery detail,
aren't you, Sergeant?
641
00:33:55,779 --> 00:33:57,940
Thank you. That'll be all.
642
00:33:58,081 --> 00:33:59,708
So you'd been out of town.
643
00:33:59,850 --> 00:34:03,115
You came back, and you were
watching your wife, is that right?
644
00:34:03,253 --> 00:34:06,120
Well, people had been writing to me.
645
00:34:06,256 --> 00:34:08,224
I mean, she'd moved out on me already,
646
00:34:08,358 --> 00:34:12,852
but now she was going with this guy Cullens
and wearing all these fancy clothes.
647
00:34:12,996 --> 00:34:16,762
So sure, I watched lone's place a couple
of days but I didn't get a crack at him.
648
00:34:16,900 --> 00:34:19,733
So what did you decide to do then,
Mr. Chennery?
649
00:34:19,870 --> 00:34:22,896
Well, I decided I'd go to his place
and meet him.
650
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:24,507
Have a talk, maybe.
651
00:34:24,641 --> 00:34:28,008
Why didn't you ask your wife
for an explanation first?
652
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:34,413
Mr. Chennery, you're gonna have to be
just as frank here as you were in my office.
653
00:34:34,551 --> 00:34:36,451
Okay, so I'm out of funds.
654
00:34:36,587 --> 00:34:40,580
I figured maybe if this guy didn't know
lone had a husband around still--
655
00:34:40,724 --> 00:34:45,423
All right. All right, you decided to
shake him down in some way.
656
00:34:45,562 --> 00:34:48,895
Now, what did you do
on that night of Mr. Cullens' murder?
657
00:34:49,032 --> 00:34:52,024
I went out to his house about 7:30.
658
00:34:52,169 --> 00:34:54,865
And I was just about to knock
when I heard voices.
659
00:34:55,005 --> 00:34:57,303
There must have been a window
open in the side room there.
660
00:34:57,441 --> 00:35:00,069
Whose voices did you hear,
Mr. Chennery?
661
00:35:00,210 --> 00:35:02,371
I don't know. Just a man and a woman.
662
00:35:02,512 --> 00:35:05,208
But I wouldn't be able to recognize
any of these people.
663
00:35:05,349 --> 00:35:08,284
Well, did you hear any specific words?
664
00:35:08,418 --> 00:35:10,181
Well, the man was doing
most of the talking,
665
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:14,848
and I heard him say "For Pete's sake,
will you quit worrying about George Trent?"
666
00:35:14,992 --> 00:35:17,085
Then I heard him say
"Get out of here. Go on, get out."
667
00:35:17,227 --> 00:35:19,593
That's all you heard?
Nothing else at all?
668
00:35:19,730 --> 00:35:22,392
Well, just then a car pulled up
and stopped in front of the house,
669
00:35:22,532 --> 00:35:26,969
so I figured maybe I better come back
some other time to see Cullens, and I left.
670
00:35:27,104 --> 00:35:28,230
That's all I know.
671
00:35:28,372 --> 00:35:30,636
As you left that house,
did you happen to notice
672
00:35:30,774 --> 00:35:34,767
what kind of a car it was
that had pulled up and stopped there?
673
00:35:34,911 --> 00:35:36,572
Not really, no.
674
00:35:36,713 --> 00:35:39,181
Except it was a sedan, a blue sedan.
675
00:35:40,917 --> 00:35:41,906
[Burger]
Your witness.
676
00:35:48,325 --> 00:35:51,192
Mr. Chennery, isn't it possible
677
00:35:51,328 --> 00:35:53,728
that the woman's voice
you heard inside Mr. Cullens' house
678
00:35:53,864 --> 00:35:55,559
was the voice of your own wife?
679
00:35:55,699 --> 00:35:57,496
No, because first I thought the same thing.
680
00:35:57,634 --> 00:36:00,432
So I went straight to a drugstore
and phoned lone's place.
681
00:36:00,570 --> 00:36:02,003
Well, she answered.
682
00:36:02,139 --> 00:36:04,937
Me, I hung up, and I went to a bar
to figure what next.
683
00:36:05,075 --> 00:36:07,703
You do quite a bit of figuring,
don't you, Mr. Chennery?
684
00:36:07,844 --> 00:36:11,109
In 1957, you were arraigned
in San Francisco on a bunco charge.
685
00:36:11,248 --> 00:36:14,149
In 1955, you served
six months in jail for burglary.
686
00:36:14,284 --> 00:36:16,445
Your Honor, I'll object to that.
687
00:36:16,586 --> 00:36:18,315
Counsel knows full well
688
00:36:18,455 --> 00:36:22,186
that an arraignment is not proper grounds
for impeaching a witness.
689
00:36:22,326 --> 00:36:24,419
Neither is a conviction for a misdemeanor.
690
00:36:24,561 --> 00:36:26,825
Never mind, Mr. Burger.
I'll sustain you.
691
00:36:26,963 --> 00:36:30,262
Then, Your Honor,
I'd like permission to recall Mr. Chennery
692
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:32,561
after hearing the testimony
of the next witness.
693
00:36:32,703 --> 00:36:34,170
I see nothing wrong with that.
694
00:36:34,304 --> 00:36:38,035
I see nothing wrong in that,
either, Your Honor.
695
00:36:38,175 --> 00:36:40,575
I call Mr. Bill Golding to the stand.
696
00:36:45,449 --> 00:36:49,146
Sure, I owned a blue sedan.
697
00:36:49,286 --> 00:36:51,914
The only reason I tried to get rid of it
was first reaction
698
00:36:52,055 --> 00:36:53,522
when I heard there was a murder.
699
00:36:53,657 --> 00:36:55,056
That's all.
700
00:36:55,192 --> 00:36:58,423
I'm a businessman. I don't like to get
mixed up in these things.
701
00:36:58,562 --> 00:37:02,191
You say that you spoke
to Austin Cullens earlier in the evening?
702
00:37:02,332 --> 00:37:06,132
Yeah, like I said, when he put on a pitch
703
00:37:06,269 --> 00:37:09,204
about George Trent hocking
some diamonds at my place.
704
00:37:09,339 --> 00:37:12,775
And what did you do after Cullens
left the Golden Platter?
705
00:37:12,909 --> 00:37:14,934
Well, I used to know George Trent.
706
00:37:15,078 --> 00:37:17,308
I thought maybe he was in trouble.
707
00:37:17,447 --> 00:37:20,439
So I tried to phone him a few places
but couldn't reach him.
708
00:37:20,584 --> 00:37:21,676
And what then?
709
00:37:21,818 --> 00:37:23,410
So I got to thinking.
710
00:37:23,553 --> 00:37:26,249
What was this bird Cullens trying to pull?
711
00:37:26,390 --> 00:37:28,654
Maybe he was trying to get me into trouble.
712
00:37:28,792 --> 00:37:31,420
So I looked up his address,
and I drove out there.
713
00:37:31,561 --> 00:37:36,021
And did you see Mr. Chennery leave
the house as you arrived there?
714
00:37:36,166 --> 00:37:39,431
No. It was getting dark
that side of the street.
715
00:37:39,569 --> 00:37:42,970
There were a lot of trees around,
and the house was dark, too.
716
00:37:43,106 --> 00:37:45,131
I waited around a few minutes,
717
00:37:45,275 --> 00:37:47,334
then I got out and walked
over to the liquor store.
718
00:37:47,477 --> 00:37:50,139
Phoned the house
trying to see if I could raise anybody.
719
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:52,748
I tried a couple of times, but no luck.
720
00:37:52,883 --> 00:37:56,148
Then when I went came back outside,
I heard a shot.
721
00:37:56,286 --> 00:37:58,151
It sounded like a shot.
722
00:37:58,288 --> 00:38:01,815
Well, I figured that was no place
for me to be.
723
00:38:01,958 --> 00:38:04,153
Only just when I started the car,
724
00:38:04,294 --> 00:38:07,491
I heard some banging around
going on inside the house.
725
00:38:07,631 --> 00:38:10,794
A few minutes later,
this woman came running out.
726
00:38:10,934 --> 00:38:14,233
Did you get a good look
at that woman, Mr. Golding?
727
00:38:15,505 --> 00:38:20,238
That's her. The defendant.
Mrs. Sarah Breel.
728
00:38:20,377 --> 00:38:22,937
And what happened then, Mr. Golding?
729
00:38:24,614 --> 00:38:28,311
Well, she looked so scared and wild
running off down that sidewalk,
730
00:38:28,452 --> 00:38:30,647
I just thought I'd better get out of there.
731
00:38:30,787 --> 00:38:34,518
Only just as I pulled away from the curb,
I heard some brakes screech.
732
00:38:34,658 --> 00:38:38,321
I didn't look back.
I didn't see the other car hit her.
733
00:38:38,462 --> 00:38:40,726
I'm sorry about that.
734
00:38:40,864 --> 00:38:43,731
I'm a businessman,
but I would have stopped.
735
00:38:43,867 --> 00:38:45,334
I would have helped her.
736
00:38:56,413 --> 00:38:58,973
Mr. Mason,
I want you to plead me guilty.
737
00:38:59,115 --> 00:39:01,481
- Mrs. Breel
- No, I mean it.
738
00:39:01,618 --> 00:39:05,019
You heard their testimony.
There's not a single flaw.
739
00:39:06,890 --> 00:39:11,259
One man heard those voices
in the house arguing.
740
00:39:11,394 --> 00:39:13,259
Heard me and Mr. Cullens, I mean.
741
00:39:14,397 --> 00:39:18,925
Then that other man heard the shot
and saw me running.
742
00:39:19,069 --> 00:39:24,803
Well, I was there because
when I went home that evening,
743
00:39:24,941 --> 00:39:32,347
I'd found a delayed message from George,
which had sent the night before.
744
00:39:32,482 --> 00:39:39,888
Well, he had discovered
that Austin Cullens was a crook,
745
00:39:40,023 --> 00:39:41,422
and he was going to investigate.
746
00:39:41,558 --> 00:39:46,495
Well, I marched right over there,
and after Mr. Cullens was dead,
747
00:39:46,630 --> 00:39:50,999
I took the diamonds off his body.
Of course I took them.
748
00:39:51,134 --> 00:39:53,398
That's when I got his blood on my shoe.
749
00:39:53,537 --> 00:39:56,370
And that gun-- they have the gun I used.
750
00:39:56,506 --> 00:39:59,236
Oh, it's just ridiculous
your wasting your time
751
00:39:59,376 --> 00:40:01,776
trying to keep me from being punished
for what I did.
752
00:40:03,547 --> 00:40:05,378
All right. That's enough.
753
00:40:05,515 --> 00:40:06,675
Paul.
754
00:40:12,455 --> 00:40:18,223
Mrs. Breel, I got permission
to bring you a visitor in here.
755
00:40:18,361 --> 00:40:19,760
Oh, Ginny.
756
00:40:19,896 --> 00:40:23,559
Oh, Aunt Sarah!
Oh, you crazy, stubborn--
757
00:40:23,700 --> 00:40:26,032
Now, now, it's all right, it's all right.
758
00:40:26,169 --> 00:40:29,138
The psychological trouble
with you, Mrs. Breel,
759
00:40:29,272 --> 00:40:32,241
is that you can't resist taking on
everyone else's problems.
760
00:40:32,375 --> 00:40:34,206
I beg your pardon?
761
00:40:34,344 --> 00:40:38,906
But it was a long time before I realized
that you weren't just protecting your brother
762
00:40:39,049 --> 00:40:40,073
but someone living.
763
00:40:40,216 --> 00:40:43,242
It's Virginia you're really trying
to cover for, isn't it?
764
00:40:43,386 --> 00:40:44,910
No. That's not true.
765
00:40:45,055 --> 00:40:46,579
- Please, Aunt Sarah--
- You be quiet.
766
00:40:46,723 --> 00:40:48,714
I've told you,
I'm in charge of this family.
767
00:40:48,858 --> 00:40:53,295
And I think Virginia might like to be
in charge of herself for a change.
768
00:40:53,430 --> 00:40:55,489
Yes, Mr. Mason, I would.
769
00:40:55,632 --> 00:40:56,792
Virginia.
770
00:40:56,933 --> 00:41:01,461
There could have been two women
in that house or one there earlier.
771
00:41:01,605 --> 00:41:04,733
You could have seen that message from
George Trent and got over there first.
772
00:41:04,874 --> 00:41:08,173
It could have been your voice that
Mr. Chennery heard, fighting with Cullens.
773
00:41:09,179 --> 00:41:10,476
Yes. Yes.
774
00:41:10,614 --> 00:41:12,013
No. No, that's not true.
775
00:41:12,148 --> 00:41:16,983
Virginia, I think it was Austin Cullens
who murdered your uncle
776
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:18,678
to keep himself from being exposed.
777
00:41:18,822 --> 00:41:21,222
I think everything Cullens did after that
778
00:41:21,358 --> 00:41:23,690
was simply to drag red herrings
all over the place.
779
00:41:23,827 --> 00:41:27,854
Now, I don't think Cullens would have
kept the gun he killed George with,
780
00:41:27,998 --> 00:41:29,488
but he did keep your office gun.
781
00:41:29,633 --> 00:41:32,500
Perhaps he'd taken it away from George.
782
00:41:32,636 --> 00:41:36,970
Anyway, I think that on the night
that you went to see Cullens,
783
00:41:37,107 --> 00:41:41,407
he was still carrying that gun
in his empty hip pocket.
784
00:41:41,544 --> 00:41:43,102
Yes, he he threatened me with it.
785
00:41:43,246 --> 00:41:44,611
Oh, Ginny...
786
00:41:44,748 --> 00:41:46,545
He told me to go into the living room,
787
00:41:46,683 --> 00:41:49,379
but when he switched on a lamp,
all the lights went out.
788
00:41:49,519 --> 00:41:52,420
And he grabbed me so I couldn't run.
789
00:41:52,555 --> 00:41:57,322
We'd been arguing.
He realized I knew about him.
790
00:41:57,460 --> 00:42:02,261
Then, when the telephone started ringing,
I twisted his arm to get away.
791
00:42:02,399 --> 00:42:04,890
- The gun went off, and I ran.
- Ohh!
792
00:42:06,302 --> 00:42:08,600
I hope you realize what you've done.
793
00:42:08,738 --> 00:42:12,071
A poor child with her entire life before her.
794
00:42:12,208 --> 00:42:17,373
Now, the gun went off
how many times, Virginia?
795
00:42:17,514 --> 00:42:19,175
Just once.
796
00:42:19,315 --> 00:42:22,978
Paul, get a thousand men if you have to.
797
00:42:23,119 --> 00:42:25,212
Tragg will help, but don't tell him why.
798
00:42:25,355 --> 00:42:27,414
Remember the testimony
about an open window?
799
00:42:27,557 --> 00:42:28,751
And two bullets. I gotcha.
800
00:42:28,892 --> 00:42:32,293
There are a lot of trees outside,
a garage it might have hit.
801
00:42:32,429 --> 00:42:33,555
I'm on my way.
802
00:42:38,702 --> 00:42:40,363
What are you doing?
803
00:42:40,503 --> 00:42:43,131
I'm going to put on a defense
for you, Mrs. Breel,
804
00:42:43,273 --> 00:42:46,606
with just one witness-- Virginia.
805
00:42:53,316 --> 00:42:58,777
I-- I don't exactly know
how the gun went off, but it did.
806
00:42:58,922 --> 00:43:02,585
I-- I didn't even wait
to see what had happened.
807
00:43:03,927 --> 00:43:09,331
Finally, I went through an alley, and--
but there were fences.
808
00:43:09,466 --> 00:43:13,197
Then back on the street,
there were cars going by.
809
00:43:14,604 --> 00:43:16,299
I was so frightened.
810
00:43:17,907 --> 00:43:23,174
Finally I-- I went through the trees
and away down a side street.
811
00:43:24,681 --> 00:43:25,978
Go on, Virginia.
812
00:43:27,050 --> 00:43:31,680
Well, that's when Aunt Sarah
must have seen me.
813
00:43:31,821 --> 00:43:37,225
She told me later
that she'd come up on the porch
814
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:41,820
and heard the shot
and saw me running away.
815
00:43:43,066 --> 00:43:45,125
Poor Aunt Sarah.
816
00:43:45,268 --> 00:43:48,032
She went in and found his body, and--
817
00:43:50,073 --> 00:43:53,839
Please, Your Honor, just because
she took the gun and things away,
818
00:43:53,977 --> 00:43:58,004
just because she tried to protect me,
she shouldn't be punished.
819
00:43:58,148 --> 00:44:00,412
Don't you understand?
820
00:44:00,550 --> 00:44:03,781
I'm the one who killed Austin Cullens!
821
00:44:06,589 --> 00:44:08,682
Thank you, Virginia.
822
00:44:08,825 --> 00:44:10,622
That's all, Your Honor.
823
00:44:12,162 --> 00:44:15,791
Well, Mr. Burger?
Are you going to cross-examine?
824
00:44:15,932 --> 00:44:18,127
Or would you prefer
that I entertain a motion
825
00:44:18,268 --> 00:44:20,964
for dismissal of the charges
against Mrs. Breel?
826
00:44:23,072 --> 00:44:26,769
No, Your Honor,
I believe I'd prefer a brief recess
827
00:44:26,910 --> 00:44:30,676
while the witness has a chance
to recovers herself.
828
00:44:30,814 --> 00:44:32,213
Of course.
829
00:44:34,184 --> 00:44:36,516
Court recessed for half an hour.
830
00:44:42,325 --> 00:44:44,190
Perry, what in the name of--
831
00:44:44,327 --> 00:44:46,591
Oh, Hamilton.
I'm sorry I botched up your case a little.
832
00:44:46,729 --> 00:44:49,289
- Haven't you heard from Tragg yet?
- Tragg?
833
00:44:49,432 --> 00:44:51,297
He ought to be back in a few minutes.
834
00:44:51,434 --> 00:44:55,734
Perry, what I don't understand
is why did you do it that way
835
00:44:55,872 --> 00:44:57,669
and break the old lady's heart?
836
00:44:57,807 --> 00:44:59,240
Why didn't you come to me
about the niece?
837
00:44:59,375 --> 00:45:01,366
Here they are.
838
00:45:03,146 --> 00:45:05,614
Got it, Perry.
Five feet up in an elm tree.
839
00:45:05,748 --> 00:45:08,046
I didn't let Virginia start
until I got your phone call.
840
00:45:08,184 --> 00:45:09,173
What is that?
841
00:45:09,319 --> 00:45:10,343
The second bullet.
842
00:45:10,486 --> 00:45:11,578
What second bullet?
843
00:45:11,721 --> 00:45:14,588
Mr. Burger, I'm very sorry
the way this had to be handled,
844
00:45:14,724 --> 00:45:17,693
but this is the other slug
that we stopped looking for.
845
00:45:17,827 --> 00:45:19,419
The same calibre, marking.
846
00:45:19,562 --> 00:45:22,827
I think we'll find it'll match the gun,
all right.
847
00:45:22,966 --> 00:45:25,196
- Well--
- It's always bothered me
848
00:45:25,335 --> 00:45:27,360
where that second shot
might have been fired.
849
00:45:27,503 --> 00:45:31,064
Then didn't you notice the discrepancy
in testimony, Hamilton?
850
00:45:31,207 --> 00:45:34,665
Virginia said that Cullens' phone
started ringing
851
00:45:34,811 --> 00:45:36,210
and that's when the shot was fired.
852
00:45:36,346 --> 00:45:39,543
But Mr. Golding said
that he phoned a couple of times,
853
00:45:39,682 --> 00:45:42,116
waited a few moments,
then went out into the street,
854
00:45:42,252 --> 00:45:44,914
and then heard a shot--
just one shot.
855
00:45:45,054 --> 00:45:48,251
Well, certainly the girl
could have pulled the trigger twice.
856
00:45:48,391 --> 00:45:49,983
In a quick struggle?
857
00:45:50,126 --> 00:45:52,151
Two shots several minutes apart?
858
00:45:52,295 --> 00:45:53,887
No, Hamilton.
859
00:45:55,965 --> 00:45:59,264
And I'm sure you don't think so, either,
do you, Mr. Chennery?
860
00:46:00,470 --> 00:46:01,494
Huh?
861
00:46:01,638 --> 00:46:03,128
What are you talking about?
862
00:46:04,340 --> 00:46:09,243
Hamilton, if there were two
quite separate shots fired from that gun
863
00:46:09,379 --> 00:46:11,609
and one went through a window
into a tree
864
00:46:11,748 --> 00:46:13,739
and the other killed Austin Cullens,
865
00:46:13,883 --> 00:46:17,546
then it's likely that the wild shot
was the first shot, don't you think?
866
00:46:17,687 --> 00:46:19,177
Virginia's shot?
867
00:46:19,322 --> 00:46:21,153
What is all this?
868
00:46:21,291 --> 00:46:24,488
Look, Mr. Burger, if it's legal ethics
for me to say anything,
869
00:46:24,627 --> 00:46:26,595
I told the truth about what I saw
in there at Cullens' house,
870
00:46:26,729 --> 00:46:28,094
and so did that Golding guy.
871
00:46:28,231 --> 00:46:30,290
Well, there sure wasn't time
for anybody else
872
00:46:30,433 --> 00:46:33,800
to be galloping back and forth around there,
so whatever this guy says--
873
00:46:33,937 --> 00:46:36,997
I'm not suggesting
anything so complicated.
874
00:46:37,140 --> 00:46:40,598
I just think there was someone else
in the house all the time.
875
00:46:40,743 --> 00:46:42,574
Go on, Perry.
876
00:46:42,712 --> 00:46:46,011
Someone who'd been
ransacking the place, maybe,
877
00:46:46,149 --> 00:46:49,380
looking for some of Cullens' stolen jewelry.
878
00:46:49,519 --> 00:46:52,511
The professional who stuck
the penny in the lamp,
879
00:46:52,655 --> 00:46:56,091
though apparently it didn't work
as a perfect warning system for him.
880
00:46:56,225 --> 00:46:58,523
Or did it, Mr. Chennery?
881
00:46:58,661 --> 00:46:59,923
How should I know?
882
00:47:00,063 --> 00:47:03,294
That was pretty cute testimony
you gave me.
883
00:47:03,433 --> 00:47:06,129
That could have helped
convict someone else.
884
00:47:07,170 --> 00:47:10,628
You actually saw that blue sedan
from inside the house, didn't you?
885
00:47:10,773 --> 00:47:14,470
- Look, Mr. Burger--
- You were in there all along, weren't you?
886
00:47:14,610 --> 00:47:17,909
You picked up the gun
after the girl ran away,
887
00:47:18,047 --> 00:47:21,107
and then you fought with Cullens,
and then you killed him.
888
00:47:21,250 --> 00:47:24,947
and then you had to hide again because
there was an old lady out on the porch.
889
00:47:25,088 --> 00:47:27,215
What? You're both crazy.
890
00:47:27,357 --> 00:47:30,986
You told me that you'd been
watching your wife for several days.
891
00:47:31,127 --> 00:47:33,789
She told me that she'd been
with Cullens quite often.
892
00:47:33,930 --> 00:47:36,330
Now, I simply can't believe that you
wouldn't have seen him in that time.
893
00:47:36,466 --> 00:47:39,333
Yet when you saw me
in your wife's apartment,
894
00:47:39,469 --> 00:47:41,699
you made it a point to call me Cullens.
895
00:47:41,838 --> 00:47:44,329
That's a pretty feeble trick.
896
00:47:44,474 --> 00:47:48,376
Unless, of course, you were scared
because you'd just murdered Cullens.
897
00:47:48,511 --> 00:47:51,742
Hey, you're not going to paint me into this.
Let go of me.
898
00:47:51,881 --> 00:47:54,714
I have a fingerprint crew working
on that house again, stem to stern.
899
00:47:54,851 --> 00:47:58,412
One print of yours
and we will paint you, all right.
900
00:47:58,554 --> 00:48:00,283
Go ahead, Sergeant.
901
00:48:00,423 --> 00:48:02,391
Quit shoving. I didn't do it!
902
00:48:02,525 --> 00:48:05,790
It wasn't me! It was the old lady,
the kid! One of them!
903
00:48:05,928 --> 00:48:08,328
Hey, let go of me!
I tell you I didn't do it!
904
00:48:09,399 --> 00:48:11,424
You know, Perry?
905
00:48:11,567 --> 00:48:15,594
Maybe, for once, I was wrong.
906
00:48:15,738 --> 00:48:17,103
On this case.
907
00:48:23,346 --> 00:48:26,577
It wasn't easy to get a confession
out of him, but Tragg managed it.
908
00:48:26,716 --> 00:48:29,742
Pete Chennery said that Austin Cullens
caught him snooping around the house
909
00:48:29,886 --> 00:48:31,148
before you came in, Virginia.
910
00:48:31,287 --> 00:48:34,950
Then that's why he was so upset
before I ever started talking.
911
00:48:35,091 --> 00:48:37,252
Then, when I demanded
to know about Uncle George
912
00:48:37,393 --> 00:48:39,884
and accused him
of being crooked in some way--
913
00:48:40,029 --> 00:48:42,122
Sure. No wonder he wanted
to get rid of you in a hurry.
914
00:48:42,265 --> 00:48:45,462
Well, when you ran out, he started
scrambling around in the dark for his gun.
915
00:48:45,601 --> 00:48:48,399
But Pete Chennery was watching,
and he found it first.
916
00:48:48,538 --> 00:48:51,905
Pete claims that Cullens
fought him for it, but anyway,
917
00:48:52,041 --> 00:48:54,441
this time there was an expert on the trigger.
918
00:48:54,577 --> 00:48:57,740
Oh, dear,
the things we think we're seeing,
919
00:48:57,880 --> 00:48:59,609
only they're not what we thought at all.
920
00:48:59,749 --> 00:49:02,718
Aunt Sarah, in psychology
it's a commonly known--
921
00:49:02,852 --> 00:49:05,753
I know, I know--
the overly protective mother hen.
922
00:49:05,888 --> 00:49:08,379
I don't like people like that.
923
00:49:08,524 --> 00:49:10,890
I'm just sorry I'm one of them.
924
00:49:11,027 --> 00:49:13,291
Oh, I don't think that's
what she was going to say, Mrs. Breel.
925
00:49:13,429 --> 00:49:15,863
No, of course not.
926
00:49:15,998 --> 00:49:20,401
I was going to say when people love anyone
as much as as we loved Uncle George,
927
00:49:20,536 --> 00:49:24,563
well, there just aren't any rules
for how silly any of us will act.
928
00:49:24,707 --> 00:49:27,676
Then why don't you take a lesson
from him?
929
00:49:27,810 --> 00:49:29,675
- What?
- Give me your car keys.
930
00:49:31,881 --> 00:49:33,712
Della, put them in an envelope.
931
00:49:33,850 --> 00:49:36,341
Yep. The party is on us.
932
00:49:36,486 --> 00:49:38,579
Let's go, Aunt Sarah.
933
00:49:38,629 --> 00:49:43,179
