The finest show we have ever held with

00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,520
nearly twice as many dogs benched as

12
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:57,119

some of the finest campaigners in

27
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:38,959
That's fine. Smile, please. Cup to your

right.

29
00:02:38,959 --> 00:02:44,000
That's great. Sorry, boys, but these are

30
00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:47,360
not trophies.

31
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:49,680
Hold it. Hold it right there.

32
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:51,680
Thank Thank you so much. Mind if we go

33
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,599
now? I can stand one dog, but this

34
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,840
bedroom is getting on my nerves. Don't

35
00:02:53,599 --> 00:02:59,319
be impatient, darling. We'll have plenty

36
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,319
of time for dinner.

00:03:26,319 --> 00:03:31,200
the special. Better luck next time, Mr.

00:03:28,959 --> 00:03:32,720
Vance.

45
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:35,200
Don't be down hard, Captain. You're

46
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:37,040
still champion with me. Maybe we'll have

47
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,239
better luck in Italy, huh? Tough luck,

48
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,920
Lance. I was hoping to have the pleasure

49
00:03:38,239 --> 00:03:41,519
of meeting you from tomorrow. Oh, thank

50
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,200
you very much, Mr. Cole. Perhaps you'll

51
00:03:41,519 --> 00:03:47,239
get stiff a competition from Sir Thomas

52
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:47,239
McDonald. Perhaps.

53
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,959
Want to borrow Misty Mour for a second?

54
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,560
But, Miss Mate, you know, Mr. Hart, you

55
00:03:50,959 --> 00:03:56,599
don't want Aon to Bonnie's dog. Come

56
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,599
along and protect him if you like.

57
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:06,159
That's enough, sir Thomas. I wouldn't

58
00:04:03,519 --> 00:04:09,599
take off another whisk. Mhm. I think

59
00:04:06,159 --> 00:04:11,760
you're right, Sandy. Get ready. Hold it.

60
00:04:09,599 --> 00:04:13,599
Thanks. There you are, Gilly. Laddy.

61
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,200
Hello, Hilda. Hello, Tom. Well, what's

62
00:04:13,599 --> 00:04:16,799
the idea? Thought we do a little private

63
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,239
judging. I don't imagine your uncle

64
00:04:16,799 --> 00:04:20,479
particularly approve of this. I'm sure

65
00:04:18,239 --> 00:04:22,880
he wouldn't, hold him a minute, Sandy.

66
00:04:20,479 --> 00:04:27,639
Let's take a good look at him.

67
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:27,639
Sure, I'll see. Let me get to you.

68
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,080
Mhm.

69
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:37,600
Well, what do you think? I think it's a

70
00:04:35,280 --> 00:04:39,919
pretty close thing, but I'm not worried.

71
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:43,440
Hey, Sandy. I think you're pretty safe,

72
00:04:39,919 --> 00:04:45,040
sir. Here we are, sir. What does you

73
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,400
think you're doing, Hilda? Well, how do

74
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,360
you do? How do you do, sir? I just

75
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,720
wanted to prove that you're going to

76
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,080
lose money to Tom when these two get

77
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:52,000
into the ring tomorrow. And have you

78
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:54,000
proved it to your satisfaction? So much

79
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,919
so that I want you to loan me $1,000 to

80
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,280
place on Gilly. Hilda, that's a cheek

81
00:04:55,919 --> 00:05:00,080
for you. Wants to bet against me with

82
00:04:57,280 --> 00:05:02,160
$1,000 of my own money. I wasn't asking

83
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:04,080
you for your money. I merely want you to

84
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,360
loan me some of mine. As long as I

85
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,120
control the purse strings, you're not

86
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,880
going to do any betting against me.

87
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:11,199
You'll be grateful that I've saved a few

88
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:13,280
thousands of your fortune someday. But

89
00:05:11,199 --> 00:05:17,080
don't raise your hopes too high, Hilda.

90
00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:17,080
Bring that dog out here.

91
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:22,240
I shouldn't let him worry you, my dear.

92
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:27,759
You knew how I hate him, Tom. Things

93
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:31,120
he's done to me. I despise him, darling.

94
00:05:27,759 --> 00:05:36,400
Now, let's see. Where did I put that?

95
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:39,199
Ah, there it is. Unsolved murders. You

96
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:40,639
know, I almost forgot it. I wouldn't

97
00:05:39,199 --> 00:05:42,960
have been able to sleep awake tonight

98
00:05:40,639 --> 00:05:44,880
wondering who murdered who and why. How

99
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,720
any intelligent man can read that dril

100
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:49,280
is beyond me. Brisbane, what time that

101
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,960
Chicago train go? 5:00.

102
00:05:49,280 --> 00:05:52,000
Well, it's 4:15. Oh, you've got plenty

103
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:56,160
of time. Yes, I know. But I want to get

104
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:58,560
out of here before uh Archer gets home.

105
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:00,320
Good afternoon, sir. Afternoon. Is my

106
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,759
brother at home? Yes, sir. He's

107
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:04,960
upstairs. Tell him I want to see him.

108
00:06:01,759 --> 00:06:06,400
Yes, sir.

109
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,880
Your taxi is waiting, sir. All right.

110
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:11,120
There's the bag. Did you uh get those

111
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,639
reservations? Yes, sir. And uh Mr.

112
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:15,840
Archer told me to tell you he wants to

113
00:06:12,639 --> 00:06:17,759
see you, sir. Oh, he did? Eh,

114
00:06:15,840 --> 00:06:20,240
you tell him I don't want to see him.

115
00:06:17,759 --> 00:06:22,080
Tell him I said so. In those words, sir.

116
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:25,680
Exactly. Unless you can think of

117
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:27,840
something stronger. Yes, sir.

118
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,960
Of course.

119
00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:30,479
Of course. It's none of my business,

120
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:33,919
Brisbane. But I wouldn't talk that way

121
00:06:30,479 --> 00:06:36,240
in front of Gamble. I don't trust him. I

122
00:06:33,919 --> 00:06:37,680
just couldn't resist it. I'd like to see

123
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,400
the look on Archer's face when he tells

124
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:42,240
him. I wouldn't. How the deuce can you

125
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,680
stand it here? Why? There wouldn't be

126
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:46,080
enough money in the world to compensate

127
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:48,160
me for being Archer Cole's secretary.

128
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,360
Oh, he's not as bad as all that. So, you

129
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,960
better be getting along. There's such a

130
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,880
thing as carrying loyalty too far. Don't

131
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,720
forget, I overheard a few of his choice

132
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,919
remarks to you when you dare suggest

133
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,319
that you were in love with Hilder and

134
00:06:55,919 --> 00:06:59,759
wanted to marry her.

135
00:06:58,319 --> 00:07:03,560
I'm afraid you're taking Archer a little

136
00:06:59,759 --> 00:07:03,560
too seriously, old man.

137
00:07:03,599 --> 00:07:08,080
Did you deliver my message? I thought it

138
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:10,000
best to wait till you were safely away.

139
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,280
Sir,

140
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,560
do you mind dropping me off? I have an

141
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:16,199
engagement with Hilda for dinner. Come

142
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:16,199
ahead. Come ahead.

143
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:23,440
All aboard. Albert Express,

144
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:28,080
Stanford, Bridgeport,

145
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:32,520
New London, New Haven, West

146
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:32,520
Province, Boston.

147
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:42,120
Here is Sir Thomas McDonald.

148
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,720
What's the matter, Sandy? Something

149
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,800
terrible's happened, sir. Gilly's gone.

150
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,560
What? And I cannot find him. They have

151
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:54,039
taken him off the bench, sir. Well, he

152
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:54,039
couldn't have got loose.

153
00:07:57,599 --> 00:08:00,879
He didn't break that lock himself

154
00:07:58,879 --> 00:08:02,800
either. I haven't been away from that

155
00:08:00,879 --> 00:08:04,240
dog for 10 minutes all day, sir. I just

156
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,919
went into the restaurant to get a we

157
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:10,160
sandwich, and when I come back, he was

158
00:08:05,919 --> 00:08:15,720
gone. So, Thomas? Yes. I think we found

159
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:15,720
him, sir. Where? Out in the alley, sir.

160
00:08:19,759 --> 00:08:23,240
This way, sir.

161
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:30,280
Really?

162
00:08:26,879 --> 00:08:30,280
He's dead.

163
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:37,000
I'll kill the man who did this.

164
00:08:39,599 --> 00:08:43,680
Listen, Tom, you mustn't do anything

165
00:08:41,039 --> 00:08:45,519
until you're sure please. I've got my

166
00:08:43,680 --> 00:08:47,040
own ideas.

167
00:08:45,519 --> 00:08:48,880
Oh, I know Uncle Archer is mean and

168
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:52,200
cruel, but I can't believe he do a thing

169
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,200
like this.

170
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:05,040
Hello.

171
00:09:01,279 --> 00:09:07,440
I'm sorry, but Mr. Archer Co isn't here.

172
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:10,160
Your dog did.

173
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:14,200
I'm terribly sorry.

174
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:14,200
I'll try to locate him at once.

175
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,720
Go away from me. You

176
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,920
get out of here.

177
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,519
Get out.

178
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,360
I suspected it when I saw you together

179
00:09:31,519 --> 00:09:37,320
this afternoon. You're nothing but a two

180
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:37,320
timing. Get out of my apartment.

181
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:42,959
Get out. From now on, it is your

182
00:09:39,680 --> 00:09:45,959
apartment. All yours. I'm getting out of

183
00:09:42,959 --> 00:09:45,959
good.

184
00:09:53,839 --> 00:10:01,279
Ah, Mr. Cole, my dear friend. Yes, I see

185
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:04,800
you are Paradoni. Yes. Oh, I am, how do

186
00:10:01,279 --> 00:10:06,160
you say it? Pantogo. I came to see you.

187
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,680
I received a cable from Milan

188
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,440
authorizing me to complete the deal for

189
00:10:07,680 --> 00:10:13,040
your Chinese collection and confirming

190
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:14,800
the price of $117,000.

191
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,560
Means decorations and all that sort of

192
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,560
thing from a very grateful government, I

193
00:10:16,560 --> 00:10:20,079
suppose. Oh, momento. But it's no good

194
00:10:18,560 --> 00:10:21,360
now. Of course, I've changed my mind.

195
00:10:20,079 --> 00:10:22,880
Oh, but you have promised me you can't

196
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,720
go back on your word. What would I tell

197
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,160
my people? What would I say? P you

198
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,600
didn't think of this before. You might

199
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,040
have been a little more discreet. E

200
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,720
Grassy. But you have signed a contract

201
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:33,279
with me. Too bad for you. It's still at

202
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:36,560
my home in my safe. But you will most

203
00:10:33,279 --> 00:10:38,560
certainly destroy it tonight. I'll tell

204
00:10:36,560 --> 00:10:43,240
you what I'll do. I'll give you Miss

205
00:10:38,560 --> 00:10:43,240
Delfield for nothing.

206
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:18,079
Hey, Leang. Out of the gang, eh? I was

207
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,600
led to believe that the cook's place is

208
00:11:18,079 --> 00:11:21,200
in the kitchen. The next time I shall. I

209
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:23,600
have been expecting my dismissal, Mr.

210
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:26,480
Cole. We have served our purpose, these

211
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:28,240
priceless treasures. And I I overheard

212
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:30,000
Mr. Reed saying, "You were preparing to

213
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,519
sell this whole collection." You've been

214
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:34,160
listening at the keyhole, have you? You

215
00:11:31,519 --> 00:11:36,000
cannot sell them, Mr. Cole. Do you think

216
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,839
I would have dishonored my ancestors,

217
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:40,240
purged my soul, cheated my own

218
00:11:37,839 --> 00:11:41,680
countrymen to acquire these for you, had

219
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,519
I not believed that you would reverence

220
00:11:41,680 --> 00:11:45,440
them as I do? That's the worst of your

221
00:11:43,519 --> 00:11:47,200
race. A pack of moish sentimentalists

222
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:51,000
about your ancestors. I don't need you

223
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:51,000
tonight. Go on. Get out.

224
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:59,320
I would suggest you consider most

225
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:59,320
carefully before you sell.

226
00:11:59,550 --> 00:12:31,419
[Music]

227
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,760
Mr. Cole.

228
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:00,120
Mr. Cole.

229
00:13:03,519 --> 00:13:08,680
Breakfast. Mr. Cole. Breakfast.

230
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:27,440
Mr. Reed, Mr. Reed, Mr. Reed,

231
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:30,959
what is it, Gamble? Mr. Cole, Mr. Archo

232
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:32,800
has killed himself. Killed himself when?

233
00:13:30,959 --> 00:13:35,680
How? He's sitting in there like when the

234
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:38,399
doors bolted. You're positive? Yes, sir.

235
00:13:35,680 --> 00:13:41,639
In his bedroom. Following the police?

236
00:13:38,399 --> 00:13:41,639
Yes, sir.

237
00:13:42,540 --> 00:13:45,580
[Music]

238
00:13:47,839 --> 00:13:53,560
Hello.

239
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:53,560
Give me police headquarters quick.

240
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:59,279
Homicide. Sergeant Miller speaking.

241
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:02,959
Wait a minute. Wait a minute. I don't

242
00:13:59,279 --> 00:14:05,440
get you. Take it easy. All right.

243
00:14:02,959 --> 00:14:06,560
Suicide. Suicide.

244
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:11,920
Wait a minute. But you're not going to

245
00:14:06,560 --> 00:14:15,760
run out on this hand. Yep. Ooh. Archer

246
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:19,440
Cole, 98 East 71st Street. Okay, I got

247
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:21,760
you. Is that it, Sergeant? Yeah. Well,

248
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:23,680
goodbye, Ernest. Sergeant Heath, to you,

249
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:26,320
Cub. Kick in with that six bits. Oh,

250
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:27,920
relax, will you?

251
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:31,440
This is your case, Sergeant. You better

252
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:33,199
get the boys out. 9871st Street. That's

253
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:35,199
right. All right. Come on, Stick. Tell

254
00:14:33,199 --> 00:14:37,760
Dr. Hurry, Mr. Hurry right out to 98

255
00:14:35,199 --> 00:14:40,560
East to 71st Street.

256
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:42,639
Did you say east, Sergeant? East? Yes, I

257
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:45,600
got it. Daily mail, give me city desk.

258
00:14:42,639 --> 00:14:48,240
Calling car 18, car 18. Oh, times

259
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:49,839
Charlie Adler, 98 East 71st Street. Last

260
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,440
night, Archer Cole committed suicide.

261
00:14:49,839 --> 00:14:53,220
Proceed immediately and call your

262
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:55,870
station for instruction.

263
00:14:53,220 --> 00:14:59,360
[Applause]

[Music]

265
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,639
Fire and warmer with light moderate

266
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:04,639
winds from New York vicinity today and

267
00:15:02,639 --> 00:15:07,120
tomorrow. And now for the latest news

268
00:15:04,639 --> 00:15:08,480
flashes. Archer Cove, the well-known

269
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:11,120
sportsman and collector, committed

270
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:13,519
suicide last night at his home, 98 East

271
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:15,279
71st Street. His body was discovered by

272
00:15:13,519 --> 00:15:17,440
the butler at 8 this morning when he

273
00:15:15,279 --> 00:15:18,959
took up a breakfast tray. No reason has

274
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,880
been advanced for this action as Mr.

275
00:15:18,959 --> 00:15:22,560
Cole was in excellent health and had no

276
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,399
financial trouble.

277
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:27,880
No news has been received from the proof

278
00:15:24,399 --> 00:15:27,880
of the accident.

279
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,680
Is the land phone still connected? Yes,

280
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:35,800
sir. But it will be disconnected in

281
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:35,800
about 2 minutes, sir. I see.

282
00:15:36,980 --> 00:15:44,000
[Applause]

283
00:15:39,279 --> 00:15:45,600
Hello. Hello, Mark. Hello, Vance. I

284
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:49,199
thought you were on your way to Italy.

285
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:51,440
Well, I am. I say, Markhamm, uh, I just

286
00:15:49,199 --> 00:15:53,120
heard about Archer Co. Yes. It's too bad

287
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:55,199
he had to bump himself off like that.

288
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:57,360
Uh, that's why I called you. Are you

289
00:15:55,199 --> 00:15:59,040
sure that he did bump himself off? Well,

290
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,720
his butler tells us he's sitting in a

291
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,480
locked room with a revolver in his hand

292
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:04,480
and a bullet in his head. I don't know

293
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:06,560
what else you'd call him. I don't want

294
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:08,160
to butt into your affairs, but uh,

295
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:10,959
aren't you a bit hasty and jumping to

296
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:12,720
that conclusion? Hasty? Why? Well, if

297
00:16:10,959 --> 00:16:14,639
you knew Archer Co, you would know that

298
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:16,959
suicide is almost a psychological

299
00:16:14,639 --> 00:16:19,199
impossibility for him. Psychological

300
00:16:16,959 --> 00:16:20,639
Bosch. A two and two make four, don't

301
00:16:19,199 --> 00:16:22,880
they? Well, how do you know you have two

302
00:16:20,639 --> 00:16:25,360
and two? Just let me point out to you.

303
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:29,040
Oh, point out the Statue of Liberty. Say

304
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:34,040
Vance. Hello. Hello. The land phone has

305
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:34,040
been disconnected, sir. Oh.

306
00:16:36,079 --> 00:16:40,639
Uh, will you have my luggage brought up?

307
00:16:37,839 --> 00:16:44,720
Yes, sir. Stuart, just have them send it

308
00:16:40,639 --> 00:16:46,160
ashore. I've decided not to sail. Sir

309
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,839
Vance, you've been right about a lot of

310
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,759
cases in the past, but I can't help

311
00:16:47,839 --> 00:16:51,759
smiling at you getting off that boat and

312
00:16:49,759 --> 00:16:53,440
giving up a swell trip. All because of a

313
00:16:51,759 --> 00:16:55,199
hunch.

314
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:57,600
As a matter of fact, Mark, more than a

315
00:16:55,199 --> 00:16:59,040
hunch. Huh?

316
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:02,560
It just so happens that I talked with

317
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:05,600
Archer Cole only yesterday. What? Where?

318
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:07,360
The Long Island Kennel Club. You know, I

319
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,880
can't conceive of a man on the verge of

320
00:17:07,360 --> 00:17:10,720
suicide

321
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:12,799
being very deeply concerned over winning

322
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:15,839
a championship at a dog show. Can you?

323
00:17:12,799 --> 00:17:18,079
No. What do you mean? Simply this. As

324
00:17:15,839 --> 00:17:19,520
late as yesterday afternoon, Archer Co

325
00:17:18,079 --> 00:17:21,199
was looking forward with the keenest

326
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:23,439
anticipation to winning a blue ribbon

327
00:17:21,199 --> 00:17:25,439
from Sir Thomas McDonald today. Sir

328
00:17:23,439 --> 00:17:27,760
Thomas McDonald? Say, wasn't it his dog

329
00:17:25,439 --> 00:17:30,720
that was found dead last night? And

330
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,919
Archer Co found dead this morning. You

331
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,799
suppose there might be some connection

332
00:17:31,919 --> 00:17:36,559
there? I don't know. But if someone were

333
00:17:34,799 --> 00:17:37,919
to try to kill Captain McTavish, I'd

334
00:17:36,559 --> 00:17:41,080
probably turn murderer myself, wouldn't

335
00:17:37,919 --> 00:17:41,080
I, Kevin?

336
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:49,280
Hello, Mr. Markham. I got your message

337
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:51,760
to hold everything up. What's the idea?

338
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:53,840
Hello, Mr. Van. Good morning, Sergeant.

339
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,760
Well, it's been a long time. Several

340
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:57,360
years. I might have known it would be

341
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:59,120
you, the world's champion

342
00:17:57,360 --> 00:18:01,760
troubleshooter. Now, come on, boys. Come

343
00:17:59,120 --> 00:18:05,039
inside. Well, Chief, it's another just

344
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:08,000
open and shut case.

345
00:18:05,039 --> 00:18:10,799
Mr. Reed, the secretary. This is Gamble,

346
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:12,400
the butler. Yes, sir. Mr. Mark, I'm the

347
00:18:10,799 --> 00:18:14,640
district attorney. How do you do, sir?

348
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:16,720
And uh Mr. Vance, how do you do? How do

349
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:18,400
you do? Everything just it was. Well,

350
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,600
they said they haven't touched anything.

351
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:22,640
We thought it best to leave everything

352
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:26,760
intact, sir. Good. Where's the room?

353
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:26,760
Upstairs. This way, please.

354
00:18:29,919 --> 00:18:35,840
You been in Mr. Co service long? About 3

355
00:18:32,799 --> 00:18:38,080
months, sir? And before that? I

356
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:41,280
unfortunately I was unemployed, sir.

357
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,280
This is it, sir.

358
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,960
Yep, he's there. All right. Just like I

359
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,080
told the police on the phone. I tried

360
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,679
the door, found it, locked, looked

361
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:52,679
through the keyhole, and there he was,

362
00:18:49,679 --> 00:18:52,679
dead.

363
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:58,679
I think this is a job for you, Sergeant.

364
00:18:55,039 --> 00:18:58,679
Certainly, Mr. Van.

365
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:06,880
Well, Hennessy, what are you standing

366
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:10,039
there for? Your health. This takes beef.

367
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,039
All right.

368
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:21,360
Congratulations, Sergeant.

369
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:23,440
What is this? A bedroom or museum?

370
00:19:21,360 --> 00:19:26,440
More junk here than in a Chinese Josh

371
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,440
house.

372
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,799
I trust I did the right thing, sir, by

373
00:19:36,799 --> 00:19:40,799
not breaking down the door. I realized I

374
00:19:38,799 --> 00:19:43,440
could be of no help to him. Oh, he's

375
00:19:40,799 --> 00:19:45,440
quite dead for hours. Bumped himself

376
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:47,360
off. That's plain enough. Certainly

377
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:49,200
looks that way, Vance. I'm afraid your

378
00:19:47,360 --> 00:19:51,840
trip was spoiled for nothing. I think

379
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:55,640
not, Malcolm. This may prove far more

380
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,640
interesting than a trip to Europe.

381
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:06,640
You carry a gun? No, sir. You? Uh, yes

382
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:09,200
sir, but only at night for the

383
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:14,160
protection of the household. Is that it?

384
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:16,480
Why I Come on. No, that was Mr. Archers,

385
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:18,240
but he always kept it in a desk drawer

386
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,919
downstairs. I saw it yesterday morning

387
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:23,039
as I was putting away some papers. Oh,

388
00:20:19,919 --> 00:20:25,760
you did? Eh, did uh Mr. Cole generally

389
00:20:23,039 --> 00:20:27,039
keep his windows locked? Why, no, sir.

390
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:30,400
As a matter of fact, he was a great

391
00:20:27,039 --> 00:20:31,679
believer in fresh air. Oh, indeed. I

392
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,679
wonder if these gentlemen would mind

393
00:20:31,679 --> 00:20:35,840
waiting downstairs. Well, certainly not.

394
00:20:33,679 --> 00:20:37,120
I am sorry we had to damage your door.

395
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,640
That's quite all right. It's easily

396
00:20:37,120 --> 00:20:40,480
repaired. I'll have it attended to it

397
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,679
once, sir. And he see the no one leaves

398
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:44,679
the house without my permission. All

399
00:20:41,679 --> 00:20:44,679
right.

400
00:20:45,360 --> 00:20:49,120
It's as plain as a nose on your face.

401
00:20:47,360 --> 00:20:50,960
This guy locked himself in here and blew

402
00:20:49,120 --> 00:20:53,120
out his brains. I wish I could agree

403
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:56,240
with you, Sergeant. How the devil could

404
00:20:53,120 --> 00:20:58,320
it be anything but suicide?

405
00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:00,559
It was all very well for you to theorize

406
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:02,559
before we got here, Vance. But now that

407
00:21:00,559 --> 00:21:04,320
you've seen this, and there no signs of

408
00:21:02,559 --> 00:21:06,640
a struggle and the door bulleted on the

409
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:09,440
inside, and no means of entrance to the

410
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:11,679
room. Ah, no other means of entrance.

411
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:13,200
How right you are, Sergeant. But we can

412
00:21:11,679 --> 00:21:16,520
hardly call a second story window a

413
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,520
means of entrance.

414
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:23,120
And nothing here that even a human fly

415
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:24,720
could crawl up. So why should Archo lock

416
00:21:23,120 --> 00:21:26,799
his windows? Particularly if he was a

417
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:29,679
fresh air enthusiast. I'm afraid your

418
00:21:26,799 --> 00:21:32,000
reasoning is not altogether convincing.

419
00:21:29,679 --> 00:21:33,600
Well, perhaps so. But doesn't it strike

420
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,360
you as rather odd that a man should

421
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,640
suddenly decide to commit suicide while

422
00:21:35,360 --> 00:21:38,880
changing from his street clothes to

423
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:40,799
pajamas? Well, why not? A man debating

424
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:42,400
suicide might get partially undressed

425
00:21:40,799 --> 00:21:44,400
and walk up and down for hours trying to

426
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:46,400
make up his mind. Yes, he might walk up

427
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:49,760
and down for hours, but not with one

428
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:51,200
shoe half off. No, Mark. Something

429
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:53,120
stopped him as he was removing that

430
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:57,440
shoe. This was supposed to suggest

431
00:21:53,120 --> 00:21:58,559
suicide, but someone miscalculated.

432
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:02,159
But you can't get away from that

433
00:21:58,559 --> 00:22:04,400
bouldered door. I wish I could. The way

434
00:22:02,159 --> 00:22:06,480
you figure it out, the man was murdered.

435
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:08,720
As soon as the killer is gone, he gets

436
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:10,240
up, goes and bolts the door, plants

437
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:12,159
himself in a comfortable chair with a

438
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,840
loaded gun in his hand to suggest

439
00:22:12,159 --> 00:22:17,960
suicide.

440
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:17,960
That's a swell theory.

441
00:22:20,559 --> 00:22:25,120
Hello, Gamble.

442
00:22:22,799 --> 00:22:27,760
What is this? What's happened? Something

443
00:22:25,120 --> 00:22:30,240
terrible has happened, Miss Lake.

444
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:32,159
What is it, Raymond? What is it? It's

445
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:34,799
your uncle Archer, Hilda. He killed

446
00:22:32,159 --> 00:22:38,520
himself last night.

447
00:22:34,799 --> 00:22:38,520
Where? They're upstairs.

448
00:22:40,350 --> 00:22:43,430
[Music]

449
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:54,799
Hey, don't touch that body, miss.

450
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:57,200
Oh, Mr. Vance. Well, how do you do, Miss

451
00:22:54,799 --> 00:23:00,080
Lake? This is Mr. Markhamm, the district

452
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:02,159
attorney. How do you do, Miss Lake? He's

453
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,520
Co's niece. I'm sorry, Miss Lake, but

454
00:23:02,159 --> 00:23:05,520
you mustn't touch anything until the

455
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:07,200
medical examiner arrives. It's against

456
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,799
regulation. Is it also against

457
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:11,440
regulations to tell me what's happened?

458
00:23:08,799 --> 00:23:13,600
We arrived only a few moments ago. We

459
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:16,559
found your uncle as you see him. It has

460
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:19,039
every appearance of suicide.

461
00:23:16,559 --> 00:23:20,320
I doubt it.

462
00:23:19,039 --> 00:23:23,520
Do you know of anyone who would have

463
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:26,480
reason to kill your uncle?

464
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:28,320
Yes, I had for one.

465
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:30,400
Why, Miss Lake? Because he stood in the

466
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,600
way of everything I wanted. He made my

467
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,360
life miserable. Because he held the

468
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:35,919
purse strings

469
00:23:33,360 --> 00:23:38,320
and because because he was jealous of

470
00:23:35,919 --> 00:23:41,039
every man who came near me.

471
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:42,799
I was afraid of him.

472
00:23:41,039 --> 00:23:45,960
Oh, the horrible nights I've spent in

473
00:23:42,799 --> 00:23:45,960
this house.

474
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,880
Are we to accept your comments as a

475
00:23:49,360 --> 00:23:52,080
confession of murder, Miss Lake? Look

476
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,400
here, Malcolm. That's ridiculous.

477
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:56,559
Please, Raymond. I think I can handle

478
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:58,799
this situation myself. When we found

479
00:23:56,559 --> 00:24:02,240
your uncle, Miss Lake, the door was

480
00:23:58,799 --> 00:24:05,360
bolted from the inside.

481
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:08,360
Bolted inside.

482
00:24:05,360 --> 00:24:08,360
Oh,

483
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,840
maybe he did shoot himself. Can't you

484
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,200
make up your mind? Do you know of anyone

485
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,880
else who felt as you do about your

486
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:17,520
uncle? Practically everyone he came in

487
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:20,000
contact with. He was ruthless. He wanted

488
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:21,440
his own way in everything. I imagine

489
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,799
there are plenty of Chinese who will be

490
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:25,760
glad to know that his collecting days

491
00:24:22,799 --> 00:24:28,640
are over. Ask our cook.

492
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:30,159
I shall. Can you think of anyone else?

493
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,760
Well, Uncle Brisbane shared my feelings

494
00:24:30,159 --> 00:24:34,000
toward him, I'm sure. Where is this

495
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:36,559
Brisbane guy? Maybe he decided to do

496
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:38,080
something about it. That's impossible.

497
00:24:36,559 --> 00:24:40,080
He's on his way to Chicago. He left on

498
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:42,640
the 5:00 train yesterday afternoon. He'd

499
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:44,640
be just about getting there by now.

500
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:48,159
Well, you'd probably like to wire him,

501
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:53,159
wouldn't you? Why, yes, of course. Is

502
00:24:48,159 --> 00:24:53,159
that all? Before the present, yes.

503
00:24:55,679 --> 00:24:59,679
Suppose we check up enough of Brisbane

504
00:24:57,279 --> 00:25:02,840
on that Chicago train. Won't take me but

505
00:24:59,679 --> 00:25:02,840
a minute.

506
00:25:06,799 --> 00:25:10,880
Hello. Come on, Shipkin. Get your feet

507
00:25:09,279 --> 00:25:14,120
off the boss's desk and jump down to

508
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:14,120
Grand Central.

509
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:20,919
[Applause]

510
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,919
All right, I get you.

511
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:36,080
Yes, Mr. Heath Langgham Hotel, Chicago.

512
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:38,080
Yes, sir. I'll watch the call. Hold a

513
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:40,320
while, please.

514
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:42,720
Oh, yes, Mr. Heath. We're expecting Mr.

515
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:44,880
Brisbane cold this morning. Oh, yes. He

516
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:47,360
he wired for a reservation last night.

517
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:50,080
Thank you. Goodbye.

518
00:25:47,360 --> 00:25:51,760
Yep. He took the 5:00 train. All right,

519
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,200
good.

520
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:55,919
You know, there's a few things I'd like

521
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:57,600
to find out about this girl, Hilda Lake.

522
00:25:55,919 --> 00:25:59,360
Why are you always trying to check up on

523
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:02,400
me? I'm not trying to check up on you,

524
00:25:59,360 --> 00:26:04,480
Hilda. I want to help you. Well, you

525
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:06,720
know how I feel about you. You know that

526
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:08,080
I love you. But lately, you seem to have

527
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:10,799
changed. Every time I want to speak to

528
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:12,960
you about marriage, you evade me.

529
00:26:10,799 --> 00:26:14,480
What's on your mind? Oh, nothing.

530
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:16,720
Nothing.

531
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:20,240
Raymond, I never said I'd marry you. But

532
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:22,000
I thought that now we Well, that that I

533
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:24,320
could take you away from here. You might

534
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,840
as well know now is later. When all this

535
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,919
is cleared up, I'm going to marry Tom

536
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:31,600
McDonald.

537
00:26:27,919 --> 00:26:33,600
Oh. Oh. Try to understand, Raymond. I'm

538
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:35,279
sorry.

539
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:37,760
Ah, don't tell me. Come on. Don't try to

540
00:26:35,279 --> 00:26:39,039
kid us. Oh, suicide. My eye with the DA

541
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,120
himself and Vance on the job. It's

542
00:26:39,039 --> 00:26:45,640
suicide and that's that. Oh, come on.

543
00:26:41,120 --> 00:26:45,640
Have a cigar. It's still suicide.

544
00:26:45,679 --> 00:26:50,880
Hey, wait a minute.

545
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:52,400
Are you a reporter? No. I'm Thomas

546
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,320
McDonald. I'd like to talk to the

547
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:57,320
officer in charge here. Oh, come on

548
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,320
inside.

549
00:26:59,679 --> 00:27:02,679
Tom,

550
00:27:03,679 --> 00:27:06,640
why didn't you stay away from here and

551
00:27:05,360 --> 00:27:07,919
leave you to face this thing alone? But

552
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,600
you promised me last night you wouldn't

553
00:27:07,919 --> 00:27:11,120
come here. Won't you go? Please, I can

554
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,799
bluff it through. I don't want the

555
00:27:11,120 --> 00:27:14,320
police asking you questions. I know all

556
00:27:12,799 --> 00:27:15,919
the answers. Oh, but please go for my

557
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,200
sake. Let's forget about it, shall we?

558
00:27:15,919 --> 00:27:18,960
It's too late now. In any case, the

559
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,960
police are guarding every entrance. Wait

560
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:22,320
a moment. You can cross through that

561
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,600
yard and get to your apartment. No one

562
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:26,080
will see you. Take the first boat to

563
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:27,600
England. I'll join you as soon as I can.

564
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,840
Watch out for those newspaper men, Sir

565
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:31,919
Thomas. They're even deadlier than the

566
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:34,720
police. I had no intention of leaving.

567
00:27:31,919 --> 00:27:36,159
Ah, good. Oh, by the way, I was sorry to

568
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:38,400
hear about the death of your dog last

569
00:27:36,159 --> 00:27:40,559
night. Oh, thanks. You didn't by any

570
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:43,600
chance discuss it with Archer Co., did

571
00:27:40,559 --> 00:27:45,120
you? No. If I had, I might have killed

572
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:50,120
him.

573
00:27:45,120 --> 00:27:50,120
Well, did you? That's your problem.

574
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:54,480
No, man. I want to see you and How about

575
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:57,120
a statement? Give me a chance. No, wait

576
00:27:54,480 --> 00:28:01,520
a minute. I'm a doctor, not a magician.

577
00:27:57,120 --> 00:28:03,760
I'm almost full and funny. Come on now.

578
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,640
Get in here. Hello, D. Hello, Kelsey.

579
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,640
Where have you been? I haven't seen you

580
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:08,640
for a long time. Working hard. What

581
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:11,360
captures along? Did you walk all the

582
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:12,720
way? You always pick on me at meal time.

583
00:28:11,360 --> 00:28:15,520
I was in the middle of cakes and

584
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:17,679
sausage. What have you got? Just plain

585
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:19,760
suicide. This guy locked himself in the

586
00:28:17,679 --> 00:28:20,799
room, bumped himself off. Suicide? Then

587
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,799
why didn't you let me finish my

588
00:28:20,799 --> 00:28:24,399
breakfast? Hello, Doc. Hello, Malcolm.

589
00:28:22,799 --> 00:28:26,880
All you need is an order to remove the

590
00:28:24,399 --> 00:28:28,320
body. You told me that over the phone. I

591
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,600
will have sent my assistant. Mr.

592
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:31,520
Markhamm told me to phone you

593
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,799
personally. Don't crab at me about it.

594
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,399
I'll give you the approximate hour of

595
00:28:32,799 --> 00:28:36,159
the death if you want it. That's

596
00:28:34,399 --> 00:28:39,039
big-hearted of you, Doc. And the routine

597
00:28:36,159 --> 00:28:41,679
autopsy. We can do tomorrow as it's just

598
00:28:39,039 --> 00:28:44,080
a case of suicide. Why do you jump to

599
00:28:41,679 --> 00:28:46,159
that conclusion, doctor?

600
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,840
I know a dead man when I see one.

601
00:28:46,159 --> 00:28:49,919
Besides, the door was bolted. I know the

602
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:51,279
door was bolted on the inside. But what

603
00:28:49,919 --> 00:28:54,559
about the body? Hadn't you better have a

604
00:28:51,279 --> 00:28:57,279
look at it? I was going to.

605
00:28:54,559 --> 00:28:58,720
I'm a doctor, not a detective. This man

606
00:28:57,279 --> 00:29:00,960
is dead with a bullet hole in his right

607
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:03,120
temple. He's holding a gun in his right

608
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:05,279
hand. Just the kind of wound that might

609
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:07,279
have been self-inflicted. The position

610
00:29:05,279 --> 00:29:09,440
is natural, and the door was locked on

611
00:29:07,279 --> 00:29:14,320
the inside.

612
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:15,679
Well, let me see. That's strange.

613
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:18,799
Did you find something to disturb you,

614
00:29:15,679 --> 00:29:21,440
doctor? Plenty. There's blood in his

615
00:29:18,799 --> 00:29:23,600
mouth and he's got a skull fracture from

616
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,960
some club-like instrument. Now, what

617
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:28,159
about the bullet wound in his temple?

618
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:31,559
There's no blood there.

619
00:29:28,159 --> 00:29:31,559
That's so

620
00:29:31,919 --> 00:29:35,919
gentlemen.

621
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:41,159
When that bullet entered this man's

622
00:29:35,919 --> 00:29:41,159
head, he had been dead for hours.

623
00:29:41,279 --> 00:29:45,840
Can you place the time of his death? I'd

624
00:29:43,279 --> 00:29:47,360
say from 8 to 12 hours ago. Would you

625
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:50,240
say that the revolver was placed in his

626
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:51,919
hand before rigger mortar set in? Yes.

627
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:54,000
Did he die from the effects of the blow

628
00:29:51,919 --> 00:29:55,520
on the head? No. Probably rendered him

629
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:57,200
unconscious for a while, but that

630
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,720
wouldn't have killed him. Not powerful

631
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,840
enough. The blow didn't kill him. The

632
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:02,159
bullet didn't kill him, and yet he's

633
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:04,320
dead. Suppose we try to find out just

634
00:30:02,159 --> 00:30:08,320
what did kill him. Glad you thought of

635
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:10,810
that, Mr. Vance. It's not a bad idea.

636
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:12,399
Perhaps I'd better take another look.

637
00:30:10,810 --> 00:30:14,399
[Music]

638
00:30:12,399 --> 00:30:14,399
All

639
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:19,200
right, boys. Let's pick up these clues

640
00:30:16,399 --> 00:30:21,660
before they get messed up here.

641
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:23,760
Just a minute, Doc. Please.

642
00:30:21,660 --> 00:30:25,760
[Applause]

643
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:27,360
Ready?

644
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:29,580
Give me a hand, Sergeant. Help me look

645
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:30,720
the body over

646
00:30:29,580 --> 00:30:34,200
[Music]

647
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:34,200
body on the

648
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,240
body.

649
00:30:42,159 --> 00:30:48,720
All right. Lift him. Easy. Easy.

650
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:50,399
Now then, all that way. All right.

651
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:53,440
That's it. There couldn't have been much

652
00:30:50,399 --> 00:30:54,880
of a struggle. His hair isn't even must.

653
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:58,559
Maybe somebody slugged him and then

654
00:30:54,880 --> 00:31:02,080
combed his hair. By George. Now I've got

655
00:30:58,559 --> 00:31:05,840
him stabbed below the left shoulder

656
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:08,960
blade near the spine. There's no

657
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:11,279
external bleeding. Internal hemorrhage.

658
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:13,279
That's it. What do you think of the

659
00:31:11,279 --> 00:31:15,440
suicide theory now, Sergeant? Well, it's

660
00:31:13,279 --> 00:31:17,279
slightly complicated for him to shot,

661
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:19,440
slugged, and stabbed himself,

662
00:31:17,279 --> 00:31:23,279
particularly in the back. Yes, very

663
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:24,559
complicated. Oh, Markham. Yes.

664
00:31:23,279 --> 00:31:26,720
You see, there's no hole in the back of

665
00:31:24,559 --> 00:31:27,919
his pajama jacket. So, he couldn't have

666
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:30,480
been wearing that when he was stabbed.

667
00:31:27,919 --> 00:31:32,720
And get this.

668
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:35,600
There's a hole in the back of his coat

669
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:36,799
and another in his wket. Blood stained.

670
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:39,519
He must have been fully dressed when he

671
00:31:36,799 --> 00:31:41,919
was attacked. Alex me out. I finished. I

672
00:31:39,519 --> 00:31:43,440
suppose you want a quick autopsy. Yes.

673
00:31:41,919 --> 00:31:45,440
Get that body down to the morg as soon

674
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:48,240
as possible. Good day, gentlemen. Good

675
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:49,600
day. Hey, D. Yes.

676
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,760
Do you think there's any possible chance

677
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:53,200
of that being suicide? What? All right.

678
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,960
All right. Just a fair question, big

679
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:57,919
boy. Go on home and get your hot cakes

680
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:59,519
and sausage. You need the strength.

681
00:31:57,919 --> 00:32:01,919
Yeah. Hurry up with that dead way.

682
00:31:59,519 --> 00:32:04,919
Right. Any report on that wire? Not yet,

683
00:32:01,919 --> 00:32:04,919
sir.

684
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:12,320
Send a wire to this guy, Mark Morham, 98

685
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:15,519
East 71st Street, New York City, and

686
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:17,600
tell him um Brisbane Cole, not aboard

687
00:32:15,519 --> 00:32:19,440
this train. Wallace, conductor, train

688
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:22,679
number seven.

689
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,679
Sit down.

690
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:29,120
What time did Brisbane Cole leave for

691
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:31,760
Chicago?

692
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:33,279
In time to catch the 5:00 train, sir.

693
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:35,840
How do you know he caught the 5:00

694
00:32:33,279 --> 00:32:37,039
train? I phoned for the reservation,

695
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,960
brought him his walking stick and

696
00:32:37,039 --> 00:32:41,600
overcoat and and put his bag in the

697
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:44,000
taxi. Uh, did you remain in the house

698
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:46,080
all evening? Why, no, sir. I went out

699
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:49,200
about 6:30. It was a servant's night

700
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:50,799
off. Everyone was out to dinner.

701
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:53,200
Did you notice anything unusual in Mr.

702
00:32:50,799 --> 00:32:54,799
Brisbane's manner when he left? Oh, now

703
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:58,240
that you mention it, he was distracted

704
00:32:54,799 --> 00:33:00,720
and and very irritable. You say you gave

705
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:03,600
him his stick? Yes, sir. Uh, what kind

706
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:05,360
of stick? His favorite. An ivory handled

707
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:07,279
one. He never went anywhere without it,

708
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:09,519
sir. Are you quite sure he took that

709
00:33:07,279 --> 00:33:11,440
particular stick with him? Positive. I

710
00:33:09,519 --> 00:33:12,880
handed it to him myself, sir. Did you

711
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:15,840
see him when he returned here last

712
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:17,760
evening? Returned? Yes. I didn't know he

713
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:19,200
had returned, sir. That whose

714
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:22,080
ivoryheaded stick is that hanging over

715
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:27,200
that chair in the hall?

716
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:29,120
I swear I don't. Steady, gamble, steady.

717
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:32,960
Is this it?

718
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:35,039
Is it? Yes. I can't understand it. I

719
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:36,799
suppose you saw nothing of his bag. Why

720
00:33:35,039 --> 00:33:39,200
no, sir. Well, if he brought his cane

721
00:33:36,799 --> 00:33:40,880
back here, what did he do with his bag?

722
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:42,799
Ah, very good, Sergeant. That's just the

723
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:44,880
point. He undoubtedly left it somewhere.

724
00:33:42,799 --> 00:33:46,399
But where? I should think the most

725
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:48,399
logical place would be the check room at

726
00:33:46,399 --> 00:33:51,200
the Grand Central Station. What kind of

727
00:33:48,399 --> 00:33:54,240
a bag was it? Just an ordinary pigkin

728
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:59,880
bag, sir, with his initials BC on it. Is

729
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:59,880
that it? Yeah, that looks like it.

730
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:05,919
There's your police department receipt.

731
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:10,120
What time was this check? Pull the 45.

732
00:34:05,919 --> 00:34:10,120
Thanks, pal. Okay.

733
00:34:10,240 --> 00:34:15,200
Well, here it is. Put it here. Did you

734
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:17,679
examine the contents? No. I brought it

735
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:20,240
right up here. Did you find out what

736
00:34:17,679 --> 00:34:23,760
time this was checked? Yeah, there you

737
00:34:20,240 --> 00:34:25,200
are. 4:45.

738
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,960
You must have gone direct from the house

739
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:28,879
to the station. Did the attendant

740
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:30,399
remember who left this? No, he said it

741
00:34:28,879 --> 00:34:32,879
was so many that most of the time he

742
00:34:30,399 --> 00:34:36,159
didn't even notice the people.

743
00:34:32,879 --> 00:34:41,800
Well, there's shaving kit, shirts,

744
00:34:36,159 --> 00:34:41,800
underwear, socks, collars, slippers.

745
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,359
Nothing in there that a man wouldn't

746
00:34:43,679 --> 00:34:48,720
ordinarily take with him on a short

747
00:34:45,359 --> 00:34:51,119
trip, except this perhaps.

748
00:34:48,720 --> 00:34:53,359
Unsolved murders.

749
00:34:51,119 --> 00:34:55,520
That's a swell book to take to Chicago.

750
00:34:53,359 --> 00:34:57,599
That's rather odd, isn't it? Yes, more

751
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:59,520
than that. Gentlemen, the mist is

752
00:34:57,599 --> 00:35:01,359
beginning to arise.

753
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:03,760
I think I know at least a part of what

754
00:35:01,359 --> 00:35:05,280
happened here last night. How about

755
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:07,440
this?

756
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:08,960
Let's say that Brisbane Cove started for

757
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:11,200
Chicago on a night when he knew that no

758
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:13,359
one but Archer would be at home. He

759
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:15,040
missed his train purposely, checked his

760
00:35:13,359 --> 00:35:16,960
bag at the station, and returned here to

761
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:19,200
kill his brother. To make a perfect

762
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:22,640
alibi, he planned to take a later train

763
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:24,320
to Chicago. But something stopped him.

764
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:26,400
And something stopped Archer Co before

765
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:27,760
he could remove his shoes last night.

766
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:30,480
You see what I mean? Those shoes of

767
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:31,599
Archers, that bag of Brisbane, his stick

768
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:34,640
hanging there in the hall. It shouldn't

769
00:35:31,599 --> 00:35:38,000
have been there.

770
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:40,480
Take just a minute.

771
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:42,320
Oh. Uh, Gamble,

772
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:44,000
where did Mr. Brisbane usually put his

773
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:45,839
hat and overcoat when he came in? He

774
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:50,040
always hung them in the closet, sir. Uh,

775
00:35:45,839 --> 00:35:50,040
which closet? This one.

776
00:35:52,170 --> 00:35:57,079
[Music]

777
00:35:54,079 --> 00:35:57,079
Oh,

778
00:36:00,240 --> 00:36:08,640
Mr. Brisben.

779
00:36:03,359 --> 00:36:10,160
Well, Mr. Vance, where are we now?

780
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:13,720
I should say somewhere in the middle of

781
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:13,720
the Gobi Desert.

782
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:22,480
Hello.

783
00:36:19,119 --> 00:36:24,960
What? Again? I'm right in the middle of

784
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:26,960
my lunch. First, you interfere with my

785
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:30,320
breakfast, then you ruin my lunch. Don't

786
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:33,880
you boys ever eat? No, I'm on a diet.

787
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:33,880
Oh, all right.

788
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:40,000
Hello. All right, I'll attend to that

789
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:43,400
later. Get me the wagon and the

790
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:43,400
fingerprint gang.

791
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:50,320
Just a minute, fellas. One side, please.

792
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:55,880
Please.

793
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:55,880
Ready? That's all. All right. Go ahead.

794
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:01,760
Here. He's been dead for hours. And me

795
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,760
thinking all the time he was playing

796
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:05,359
possum.

797
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:09,280
Well, there too many people in the world

798
00:37:05,359 --> 00:37:12,480
anyway. Mr. Vance, this is just ordinary

799
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:14,240
junk. I'm afraid so. And I'd rather hope

800
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:16,160
for something important. Which one of

801
00:37:14,240 --> 00:37:18,320
the two victims died first? Doctor

802
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:22,480
Archo. I think this one a little later.

803
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:25,440
And the weapon say sharp and narrow.

804
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:26,960
Second tag and list these. I think I

805
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:29,839
better fingerprint everything inside and

806
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:33,800
outside here. Right, yes. Look for a

807
00:37:29,839 --> 00:37:33,800
sharp narrow weapon. All right.

808
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:38,000
Found something. Boy, it looks like

809
00:37:36,079 --> 00:37:40,240
fishing tackle. It's tackle. All right,

810
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:41,599
but not fishing.

811
00:37:40,240 --> 00:37:43,839
Markhamm, we're dealing with a shrewd

812
00:37:41,599 --> 00:37:46,000
brain. The technique of this crime was

813
00:37:43,839 --> 00:37:48,480
very cleverly worked out. But something

814
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,760
went wrong. Sergeant,

815
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:53,920
here's your order for the removal of the

816
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:55,599
body. Thanks, Doc. So long. I want food.

817
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:56,880
Well, nobody's stopping you. And if you

818
00:37:55,599 --> 00:37:58,400
got any more corpses, bring them out

819
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,839
now, will you? I can't be running up and

820
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:01,920
down here all day. What do you mean

821
00:37:59,839 --> 00:38:04,880
running up and down all day with that

822
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:08,520
swell car the city gave you? Oh, nothing

823
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:08,520
upsets the doctor.

824
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:18,560
H, Captain, you want to take charge?

825
00:39:16,720 --> 00:39:22,740
Well, if you hurry up and solve this

826
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:28,080
case, maybe I can go home. Come on.

827
00:39:22,740 --> 00:39:28,080
[Laughter]

828
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:35,119
I can handle everything if I don't get

829
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:37,920
too much interference. Oh, Mark. Yeah,

830
00:39:35,119 --> 00:39:39,839
you're just in time for a demonstration.

831
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:42,560
I think I can show you how Brisbane Cole

832
00:39:39,839 --> 00:39:44,400
used this fishing tackle.

833
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:46,880
He started for Chicago and Billy to

834
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:50,079
provide an alibi. He had other plans in

835
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:51,599
this room. Watch this.

836
00:39:50,079 --> 00:39:53,680
Notice the bent pin which is hooked on

837
00:39:51,599 --> 00:39:55,440
the bolt handle.

838
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:57,119
This is attached to the string I am now

839
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:58,560
pulling through the keyhole. If you

840
00:39:57,119 --> 00:40:00,880
follow the string, you will see that it

841
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:03,440
passes around a pin in the wall. This

842
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:05,520
acts as a pulley and is also attached to

843
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:07,440
a string passing through the keyhole.

844
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:11,200
You see the bolt is now being forced

845
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:12,480
into its socket. Upon my word, I now

846
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:14,720
pull the first string through the

847
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:16,800
keyhole and then the second string. And

848
00:40:14,720 --> 00:40:20,920
with it comes the pin, leaving no

849
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:20,920
evidence. Now, let me in.

850
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:26,000
It worked. Yes, it worked. Well, that

851
00:40:23,599 --> 00:40:27,680
explains that then. Very clever. It

852
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:30,079
could have been done that way. But if

853
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:32,880
Brisbane killed Archer Co, who killed

854
00:40:30,079 --> 00:40:35,520
Brisbane and hung him in the closet? Why

855
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:38,800
did he do it? That's what we want to

856
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:41,280
find out, isn't it? Exactly. Yeah.

857
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:43,680
Gentlemen, two persons planned the

858
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:46,000
murder of Archer Co. two. What? But

859
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:47,680
their paths crossed. Brisbane was one of

860
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:49,040
them. The other. I've got it. The

861
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:53,200
Chinese cook. They're full of those

862
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:54,400
tricks. Forget this. Dr. Dus said that

863
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:56,160
Cole was struck over the head with a

864
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:57,200
blunt instrument.

865
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:59,200
This poker would answer that

866
00:40:57,200 --> 00:41:01,119
description, wouldn't it? Yes. And that

867
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:03,440
certainly looks like dried blood. It

868
00:41:01,119 --> 00:41:06,480
certainly does. But what about those

869
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:08,800
short coarse hairs? They don't look like

870
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:10,880
coals. No.

871
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:12,160
Well, Mr. Vance, why didn't you find

872
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:13,680
that when you looked in there this

873
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:16,319
morning?

874
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:17,760
It wasn't in there this morning.

875
00:41:16,319 --> 00:41:21,960
Besides, it doesn't belong in this room.

876
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:21,960
It belongs downstairs in the library.

877
00:41:28,690 --> 00:41:31,940
[Music]

878
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:38,240
That you, Captain?

879
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:38,240
What's the matter with you?

880
00:41:39,119 --> 00:41:42,599
What is it, Captain?

881
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:48,040
What is it? Captain

882
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:52,119
down here.

883
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:07,200
Oh, good boy, Captain.

884
00:42:04,079 --> 00:42:08,880
This dog's been struck a nasty blow.

885
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:11,520
That explains the coarse hairs on the

886
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:14,160
poker. Uh, whose dog is this? I don't

887
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:15,920
know. I mean, I've often seen it in the

888
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:17,760
vacant lot, sir. Just tell the truth,

889
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:21,680
Gamble.

890
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:25,400
Yes. Why don't you? It belongs to the

891
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:25,400
lady next door. Sir,

892
00:42:26,319 --> 00:42:31,520
Hennessy, get that fellow to a vets as

893
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:34,520
fast as you can, would you? Yes.

894
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:34,520
Easy

895
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:42,079
boy. Easy. Easy boy. Easy.

896
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:44,160
Now, Gamble, let's have a name. The lady

897
00:42:42,079 --> 00:42:46,560
next door. Doris Delerfield. Yes. I'm

898
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:48,079
Miss Delafield.

899
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:50,079
Won't you sit down, gentlemen? Thank

900
00:42:48,079 --> 00:42:51,760
you. I'm sorry I didn't win you a trophy

901
00:42:50,079 --> 00:42:53,920
at the dog show. You're quite a fancier,

902
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:55,760
aren't you? Yes, somewhat. I'm

903
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:58,560
interested in one of your dogs. The

904
00:42:55,760 --> 00:43:00,480
Doberman. You mean Figaro. I wonder if I

905
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:02,319
can have a look at him. I'm terribly

906
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:04,560
sorry. You know, he slipped his leash

907
00:43:02,319 --> 00:43:06,319
last night and ran away. I've notified

908
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:09,760
the police. My maid's been scouring the

909
00:43:06,319 --> 00:43:11,839
neighborhood trying to find him. Well,

910
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:13,760
did she inquire at Mr. Co's house next

911
00:43:11,839 --> 00:43:16,560
door?

912
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:20,480
Well, I I don't know. You and Mr. Co

913
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:23,280
have been good friends, haven't you?

914
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:25,040
I know him. Why?

915
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:28,160
Your dog was found in his house this

916
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:30,079
morning, badly wounded.

917
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:33,520
What? Have you any idea how he got

918
00:43:30,079 --> 00:43:35,680
there? No. Do you suppose he would

919
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:39,000
follow someone into the house? Well, I

920
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:39,000
hardly think.

921
00:43:41,359 --> 00:43:46,000
So, what are you driving at?

922
00:43:44,079 --> 00:43:48,480
Mr. Archer Cole and his brother were

923
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:50,160
murdered last night.

924
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:53,520
Murdered?

925
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:55,760
I was afraid that

926
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:58,400
just a moment.

927
00:43:55,760 --> 00:44:00,000
Hello. Is that Miss Doris Delfield's

928
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:01,839
apartment?

929
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:03,280
Would you please tell Miss Delfield that

930
00:44:01,839 --> 00:44:06,319
we couldn't get the reservations for her

931
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:08,079
and Mr. Gracie on a deck and ask if B

932
00:44:06,319 --> 00:44:10,640
deck would be satisfactory? Miss

933
00:44:08,079 --> 00:44:15,359
Deloffield will not be sailing. You can

934
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:16,800
cancel reservation for them both. Both?

935
00:44:15,359 --> 00:44:19,839
Do you mind telling me whom the other

936
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:22,800
reservation was for?

937
00:44:19,839 --> 00:44:26,400
I refuse to answer that question. Would

938
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:27,599
it be Mr. Graci? But I am Mr. Gracias.

939
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:30,480
And if I didn't cancel those

940
00:44:27,599 --> 00:44:32,880
reservations, who did? What? Miss

941
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:35,280
Deloffield. Oh, no, no, no. She didn't.

942
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:36,640
No, really. There's been a mistake. As

943
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:39,960
soon as I can find out about this, I'll

944
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:39,960
call you back.

945
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:46,640
I don't think you'll find Miss Delefield

946
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:47,839
at home, just follow. And as for the

947
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:49,680
consolation of your estam ship

948
00:44:47,839 --> 00:44:53,440
reservations, we regret very much that

949
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:54,880
it was necessary. Who are you?

950
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:56,880
This is Mr. Markham, the district

951
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:59,359
attorney. Oh, I'm honored, but I'm

952
00:44:56,880 --> 00:45:02,000
afraid I don't quite understand. It's

953
00:44:59,359 --> 00:45:03,680
about this. As a matter of fact, Mr.

954
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:06,480
Cole didn't commit suicide. He was

955
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:08,240
murdered. Murdered? Would you mind

956
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:12,119
coming along with us? Just a little

957
00:45:08,240 --> 00:45:12,119
matter of comparing fingerprints.

958
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:16,359
No, not in the least.

959
00:45:51,599 --> 00:45:55,480
I think that's all.

960
00:45:57,359 --> 00:46:01,119
Found anything yet? The one taken from

961
00:45:59,599 --> 00:46:03,040
the doororknob is too blurred for

962
00:46:01,119 --> 00:46:05,119
identification, but this one is very

963
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:08,760
clear. It appears to be that of Leang,

964
00:46:05,119 --> 00:46:08,760
the Chinese cook.

965
00:46:18,710 --> 00:46:21,739
[Music]

966
00:46:35,359 --> 00:46:40,160
Any luck? No, not yet. It must be here

967
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:42,079
somewhere.

968
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:46,160
I'm positive that the dagger that killed

969
00:46:42,079 --> 00:46:49,400
the coals belongs in that she

970
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:49,400
No. H.

971
00:46:52,460 --> 00:46:55,619
[Applause]

972
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:03,400
Well,

973
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:11,680
that's strange. What is it? A tinga vase

974
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:13,119
is missing. It's the most valuable in

975
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:15,520
the whole collection. That's all that's

976
00:47:13,119 --> 00:47:17,359
left of it.

977
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:20,160
If I'm not mistaken, that's blood.

978
00:47:17,359 --> 00:47:21,599
Blood.

979
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:23,200
Malcolm, I'm coming more and more to the

980
00:47:21,599 --> 00:47:25,520
belief that Archer Co was killed in this

981
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:27,520
room. That poker, this dagger sheath,

982
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:29,280
now these fragments, all here. But

983
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:31,920
Vance, do you mean to tell me that the

984
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:34,400
dead man walked upstairs? I'm not trying

985
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:35,760
to tell you anything but the facts. It's

986
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:38,760
the most remarkable case in my

987
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:38,760
experience.

988
00:47:42,720 --> 00:47:48,760
Find anything, Cap?

989
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:48,760
Yes, sir. Plenty.

990
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:57,280
Oh, uh, Mr. Reed. Well, yes, Mr. V.

991
00:47:55,920 --> 00:48:01,160
Would you, uh, step in for a moment,

992
00:47:57,280 --> 00:48:01,160
please? I'm certainly

993
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:07,839
smoke. No thanks. Did you, uh, notice

994
00:48:04,720 --> 00:48:10,839
that the tinga was missing?

995
00:48:07,839 --> 00:48:10,839
Missing?

996
00:48:12,720 --> 00:48:19,599
Why? It was here yesterday evening. At

997
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:22,800
what time? At about 6:30 or 7:00, I came

998
00:48:19,599 --> 00:48:25,280
back to talk to Mr. Cole. About what?

999
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:27,920
As a matter of fact, I I wanted to quit

1000
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:30,319
my job as his secretary. Oh, you'd been

1001
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:32,960
having some difficulties with him. It

1002
00:48:30,319 --> 00:48:34,880
was rather a personal matter. I wanted

1003
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:37,280
his permission to marry Miss Lake. What

1004
00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:41,520
did he say to that?

1005
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:43,599
He ordered me out. You went? Yes. Where?

1006
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:45,440
I went to find Miss Lake. I thought she

1007
00:48:43,599 --> 00:48:46,800
was at the Kennall Club, but I had a

1008
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:48,559
puncture on the way, so it was rather

1009
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:51,280
late when I got there. She'd already

1010
00:48:48,559 --> 00:48:53,280
left with Sir Thomas McDonald. Then I

1011
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:54,880
came home and went directly to bed. Did

1012
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:58,160
you hear anything or see anything when

1013
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:59,599
you came into the house? No, but after

1014
00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:01,920
I'd been in bed for a while, I heard

1015
00:48:59,599 --> 00:49:03,920
some noises downstairs. I opened the

1016
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:06,400
door and looked down, but it was only

1017
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:09,440
Leang, the Chinese cook, coming in. Was

1018
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:11,359
he uh customarily noisy in entering the

1019
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:12,960
house? Oh.

1020
00:49:11,359 --> 00:49:16,640
As a matter of fact, it's the first time

1021
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:18,079
I ever heard him come in. Indeed.

1022
00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:19,280
Well, I think that's all, Mr. Reed.

1023
00:49:18,079 --> 00:49:20,480
Thank you. Thank you. If there's

1024
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:24,680
anything I can do to help, let me know.

1025
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:24,680
Right. Good night. Good night.

1026
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:30,640
I think I'd check up on that chemical

1027
00:49:28,079 --> 00:49:32,160
club, ali. I will. You might have those

1028
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:34,800
fragments checked for fingerprints, if

1029
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:38,599
you will. Yes. Meanwhile, I'll do a

1030
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:38,599
little exploring in the kitchen.

1031
00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:56,280
Why? Mr. Mans, I thought get Markham.

1032
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:05,119
Mr. Leang, I believe you're the cook. Me

1033
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:07,119
cook?

1034
00:50:05,119 --> 00:50:09,599
You can drop the pigeon English. That

1035
00:50:07,119 --> 00:50:12,400
isn't necessary with me. Where did you

1036
00:50:09,599 --> 00:50:13,920
go to school? Columbia University. Ah,

1037
00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:16,319
that's considerable education for a

1038
00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:17,839
cook, isn't it? Mr. Co employed me

1039
00:50:16,319 --> 00:50:20,559
because I know a great deal about

1040
00:50:17,839 --> 00:50:23,599
Chinese porcelain. Ah, I see. Ah, that's

1041
00:50:20,559 --> 00:50:25,920
a very lovely piece of tinga, isn't it?

1042
00:50:23,599 --> 00:50:27,920
How did he get broken? I don't know,

1043
00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:29,680
sir. I found the pieces in the waste

1044
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:32,640
basket in the library. You want me

1045
00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:34,480
Vance? Oh, yes.

1046
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:36,400
See that, Marggo?

1047
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:37,680
More blood spots on the inside.

1048
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:39,040
Apparently, the murderer dropped the

1049
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:42,160
dagger in here to hide it, but he

1050
00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:44,800
dropped it too hard and the vase broke.

1051
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:47,520
Uh, when did you find these pieces? This

1052
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:49,680
morning? This morning? You sure it

1053
00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:52,720
wasn't last night? About 8:00, let us

1054
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:55,599
say? No, sir. I did not get in until

1055
00:50:52,720 --> 00:50:57,920
after midnight. I'm sure Mr. Reed or Mr.

1056
00:50:55,599 --> 00:51:01,280
Gamble will tell you that. What time did

1057
00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:03,680
you find the poker? The poker? Yes, the

1058
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:05,280
poker. The one you hid in the Chinese

1059
00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:07,760
chest in Mr. Archer's room this

1060
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:10,559
afternoon. But I don't know what you

1061
00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:12,160
mean. Oh, yes you do. I was behind the

1062
00:51:10,559 --> 00:51:14,079
door in that room when you hid it. Let

1063
00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:17,440
me handle this. Mr. Vance, are you going

1064
00:51:14,079 --> 00:51:19,280
to talk or do I have to make you? Wait,

1065
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:21,520
I'll tell you the truth. Well, spit it

1066
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:23,200
out.

1067
00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:26,480
When I returned to my room here about

1068
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:28,319
8:00 last night. Ah, I thought so. I

1069
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:31,040
heard angry muffled voices in the

1070
00:51:28,319 --> 00:51:32,640
library. Then a dull sound as of someone

1071
00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:35,359
falling.

1072
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:37,920
I stood at my door here and listened.

1073
00:51:35,359 --> 00:51:41,119
Then I heard footsteps cross the kitchen

1074
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:43,040
and go out the back door. And then I

1075
00:51:41,119 --> 00:51:45,839
walked up the corridor and everything

1076
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:48,559
was very quiet. I opened the library

1077
00:51:45,839 --> 00:51:51,839
door and looked in. The furniture was

1078
00:51:48,559 --> 00:51:54,400
overturned. The poker was there, the

1079
00:51:51,839 --> 00:51:57,359
desk was disarranged, and the valuable

1080
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:59,440
tenu vase was broken. I thought there

1081
00:51:57,359 --> 00:52:01,280
must be something wrong. So I went

1082
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:04,880
upstairs and looked into Mr. Co's

1083
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:06,960
bedroom. He was dead. Fearing that I

1084
00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:08,960
might be suspected, I went back to the

1085
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:11,680
library and picked up the broken pieces

1086
00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:14,400
of the vase and together with the poker,

1087
00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:15,440
I took them to my room. And knowing that

1088
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:17,119
you were alone in the house, you were

1089
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:20,720
afraid you might be suspected. So, you

1090
00:52:17,119 --> 00:52:22,960
hid the weapons and left. Yes, sir. You

1091
00:52:20,720 --> 00:52:24,720
returned to the house about midnight and

1092
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:26,800
purposely made a lot of noise so as to

1093
00:52:24,720 --> 00:52:28,880
establish your alibi. Is that right?

1094
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:30,640
Yes, sir. All right, then. Where'd you

1095
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:33,200
put the dagger? I did not find the

1096
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:35,040
dagger. Don't give me that. What did you

1097
00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:37,119
do with it after you stuck it in Archo's

1098
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:38,559
back? I've got it, Mr. Markhamm. Yes.

1099
00:52:37,119 --> 00:52:43,160
Fingerprint on this broken fragment

1100
00:52:38,559 --> 00:52:43,160
belongs to the Italian Eduardo Graci.

1101
00:52:44,319 --> 00:52:50,280
Well, Mr. Vance, looks like somebody

1102
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:50,280
else miscalculated.

1103
00:52:52,720 --> 00:52:56,960
Yep, it fits. That doesn't prove

1104
00:52:55,440 --> 00:53:00,359
anything.

1105
00:52:56,960 --> 00:53:00,359
What about this?

1106
00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:07,200
Where did you get it? It was in Archer

1107
00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:08,480
Cole's pocket. What were you doing

1108
00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:11,599
outside the drawing room window last

1109
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:14,319
night? Well, I I wanted to be sure that

1110
00:53:11,599 --> 00:53:15,760
he was alone. Why? For weeks, we had

1111
00:53:14,319 --> 00:53:17,920
been negotiating for the sale of his

1112
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:20,240
collection to the museum at Milan. It

1113
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:22,160
meant everything to me. He kept raising

1114
00:53:20,240 --> 00:53:24,319
the price, but on Monday, we came to an

1115
00:53:22,160 --> 00:53:26,559
understanding, and I cable the museum

1116
00:53:24,319 --> 00:53:28,880
that I had succeeded. And last night he

1117
00:53:26,559 --> 00:53:32,119
turned me down because he saw me with

1118
00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:32,119
Miss Delfield.

1119
00:53:32,319 --> 00:53:37,280
Let me explain. Archer was extremely

1120
00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:39,040
jealous of me. Well, you can't blame him

1121
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:40,960
for that. You went there to threaten

1122
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:43,280
him, didn't you? I had every right to

1123
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:45,040
do. I told him I would use any means to

1124
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:46,720
make him fulfill his contract. He

1125
00:53:45,040 --> 00:53:48,000
laughed at me. Said that he would smash

1126
00:53:46,720 --> 00:53:50,240
every piece in his collection before

1127
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:52,319
he'd let me have it. So, you picked up

1128
00:53:50,240 --> 00:53:54,800
the poker and did a little smashing on

1129
00:53:52,319 --> 00:53:57,839
your own account, eh? I did not. Let me

1130
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:59,920
add a fragment, will you? Thank you. You

1131
00:53:57,839 --> 00:54:03,200
know how that was broken? Tin yellow

1132
00:53:59,920 --> 00:54:05,920
bars with blood stains on the inside and

1133
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:07,920
your fingerprint on the outside. I don't

1134
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:11,040
know, Sergeant. I think you better book

1135
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:13,040
him, right? Thank you.

1136
00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:16,240
Come on. Let's get out of that monkey

1137
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:18,319
suit. Let's get going. Come on. Don't

1138
00:54:16,240 --> 00:54:21,319
worry. I'm not running away. You telling

1139
00:54:18,319 --> 00:54:21,319
me?

1140
00:54:21,350 --> 00:54:27,839
[Applause]

1141
00:54:24,079 --> 00:54:29,440
I suspected the Italian all along.

1142
00:54:27,839 --> 00:54:30,960
Exactly.

1143
00:54:29,440 --> 00:54:33,760
But why should Grassi also stab

1144
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:35,200
Brisbane? And what about the Doberman?

1145
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:36,720
You see, Marc, we have nearly all the

1146
00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:40,559
pieces of the puzzle, but none of them

1147
00:54:36,720 --> 00:54:43,040
seems to fit. Here we are.

1148
00:54:40,559 --> 00:54:46,520
This isn't it. This is the basement. I

1149
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:46,520
know. Come on.

1150
00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:50,920
I just want to see where this goes.

1151
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:09,310
[Music]

1152
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:17,680
Well, good evening, sir. Gamble.

1153
00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:21,280
And by the way, uh, how long have you

1154
00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:23,119
been using that name? All my life, sir.

1155
00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:24,720
Dubar checked Gamble's fingerprints at

1156
00:55:23,119 --> 00:55:26,559
the identification bureau. And who do

1157
00:55:24,720 --> 00:55:30,000
you think he turns out to be? None

1158
00:55:26,559 --> 00:55:31,280
Gamble? No. Atlantic Eddie. He used to

1159
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:32,800
work the boats on both sides of the

1160
00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:34,960
ocean. Honestly, Mr. Vance, I haven't

1161
00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:36,480
turned a trick in 5 years. Oh, that's

1162
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:38,800
all right, Eddie. I just wanted to let

1163
00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:40,400
you know that we're old pals.

1164
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:44,079
Sir, someone slipped in the back door

1165
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:44,079
and went into one of the front rooms.

1166
00:55:52,079 --> 00:55:56,240
Well, Miss Dean, don't be surprised,

1167
00:55:54,720 --> 00:55:58,480
gentlemen. I'm used to coming in here

1168
00:55:56,240 --> 00:56:00,559
like this. You seem to know your way

1169
00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:02,160
around here pretty well. As a district

1170
00:56:00,559 --> 00:56:04,160
attorney, you're responsible for this

1171
00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:06,079
case, aren't you? That's right. Well,

1172
00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:08,319
I'm tired of detectives. I'm tired of

1173
00:56:06,079 --> 00:56:10,079
being spied on. All you want to know is

1174
00:56:08,319 --> 00:56:14,480
who killed Archer Co., isn't it?

1175
00:56:10,079 --> 00:56:16,079
Naturally. Well, I did. What? Yes. And

1176
00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:18,960
there isn't a jury on earth will convict

1177
00:56:16,079 --> 00:56:21,119
me when they hear my story. You don't

1178
00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:22,960
believe me, do you?

1179
00:56:21,119 --> 00:56:25,440
You were wondering this afternoon how my

1180
00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:27,680
dog Figaro could get into this house

1181
00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:30,720
where he was following me. He was

1182
00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:32,880
defending me when he was struck.

1183
00:56:30,720 --> 00:56:34,480
Where did you kill Mr. Cole? In his

1184
00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:36,559
bedroom.

1185
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:39,680
What kind of lipstick do you use?

1186
00:56:36,559 --> 00:56:42,640
Lipstick? What's that got to do with it?

1187
00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:42,640
Is that yours?

1188
00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:47,599
Yes, that's mine. While I was struggling

1189
00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:51,520
with Archer, my bag dropped on the floor

1190
00:56:47,599 --> 00:56:53,359
and everything spilled out.

1191
00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:55,520
Won't do, Miss Delfield. It's an old

1192
00:56:53,359 --> 00:56:57,119
trick. It's not a trick. I didn't

1193
00:56:55,520 --> 00:56:59,359
realize that you were so fond of Mr.

1194
00:56:57,119 --> 00:57:01,520
Graci. Mr. Graci has nothing to do with

1195
00:56:59,359 --> 00:57:02,720
it. Take me down to the station. I'll

1196
00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:09,160
say nothing more until I get an

1197
00:57:02,720 --> 00:57:09,160
attorney. Help. Help. Help. Help.

1198
00:57:33,599 --> 00:57:38,280
Hey, you remember there?

1199
00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:47,480
This guy's been stabbed, Hennessy.

1200
00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:56,640
Is this it, Mr. Vance? Yes, that's it.

1201
00:57:53,119 --> 00:57:58,720
Thank you very much.

1202
00:57:56,640 --> 00:58:00,960
First, you spoil my breakfast. Then, you

1203
00:57:58,720 --> 00:58:02,799
break up my lunch. Now, you pull me out

1204
00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:05,119
of bed in the middle of the night. And

1205
00:58:02,799 --> 00:58:07,839
this fellow not even dead. Why don't you

1206
00:58:05,119 --> 00:58:09,200
put that in your report, Doc? Of course.

1207
00:58:07,839 --> 00:58:12,960
Fingerprints would never pick up on that

1208
00:58:09,200 --> 00:58:15,040
silk handle, but it fits perfectly.

1209
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:18,160
Where'd you find it, Sergeant? Under the

1210
00:58:15,040 --> 00:58:20,240
bed. Congratulations. That's all right,

1211
00:58:18,160 --> 00:58:21,839
Mr. Vance.

1212
00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:24,839
Three crimes with the same weapon.

1213
00:58:21,839 --> 00:58:24,839
Malcolm

1214
00:58:25,119 --> 00:58:32,640
Tom, what is it? What's happened? I

1215
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:35,200
don't know, dear. Somebody stabbed me.

1216
00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:36,960
Is it serious, doctor? Oh no. I gave him

1217
00:58:35,200 --> 00:58:38,720
three grains of sodium aml to quiet his

1218
00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:40,240
nerves. He'll be all right. I'd like to

1219
00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:43,240
rent a room here till they finish this

1220
00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:43,240
case.

1221
00:58:44,799 --> 00:58:49,359
Poor darling. I wish I hadn't got you

1222
00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:51,040
mixed up in all this. You shouldn't have

1223
00:58:49,359 --> 00:58:54,400
come here. Let me see this through

1224
00:58:51,040 --> 00:58:56,960
alone. Oh, I won't leave you. Can't we

1225
00:58:54,400 --> 00:58:59,040
get away from here? We leave tomorrow

1226
00:58:56,960 --> 00:59:00,400
together. Well, what do you think about

1227
00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:01,839
it, Doc?

1228
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:04,160
Well, the thrust punctured the median

1229
00:59:01,839 --> 00:59:05,280
bacic vein and caused a hemorrhage.

1230
00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:08,160
Could the wound have been

1231
00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:10,880
self-inflicted? Doctor, I'm the city

1232
00:59:08,160 --> 00:59:12,640
butcher, not the detective.

1233
00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:14,799
Don't bother me with any murders. After

1234
00:59:12,640 --> 00:59:17,119
three tomorrow, I'm going to the World

1235
00:59:14,799 --> 00:59:19,440
Series. Hey, Doc, hold me the score

1236
00:59:17,119 --> 00:59:21,200
between innings, will you?

1237
00:59:19,440 --> 00:59:22,720
Get these people out of this. What are

1238
00:59:21,200 --> 00:59:25,359
they waiting for? We just want to ask

1239
00:59:22,720 --> 00:59:27,119
you a few questions, Thomas. You say

1240
00:59:25,359 --> 00:59:29,680
that when you were stabbed, you saw

1241
00:59:27,119 --> 00:59:32,480
nothing. Huh? That's right.

1242
00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:34,960
It was dark. I heard a noise and jumped

1243
00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:36,720
out of bed. Somebody threw a chair and

1244
00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:39,280
just missed my head and struck the

1245
00:59:36,720 --> 00:59:42,079
window. I shot it for help and ran

1246
00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:44,960
towards the door. Then I I felt a sharp

1247
00:59:42,079 --> 00:59:48,079
pain in my arm as I lost consciousness.

1248
00:59:44,960 --> 00:59:50,160
Knife by a ghost. That's a hot one. I

1249
00:59:48,079 --> 00:59:52,160
think he'd done it himself. Oh, Davis,

1250
00:59:50,160 --> 00:59:54,720
that's not fair. Do you know anything

1251
00:59:52,160 --> 00:59:58,720
about that?

1252
00:59:54,720 --> 01:00:02,319
Where'd you find it? Under your bed.

1253
00:59:58,720 --> 01:00:04,400
I I never saw it before. Yeah, like I

1254
01:00:02,319 --> 01:00:05,680
never saw a pair of handcuffs. You have

1255
01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:07,920
no right to question him now in this

1256
01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:11,319
condition.

1257
01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:11,319
Rather funny.

1258
01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:21,400
You see what I see in Archer Co's room?

1259
01:00:22,880 --> 01:00:27,839
I have a suspicion that whoever killed

1260
01:00:25,040 --> 01:00:31,640
the co came from this house.

1261
01:00:27,839 --> 01:00:31,640
probably from this room.

1262
01:00:33,839 --> 01:00:40,119
Gentlemen, I think I can fit the pieces

1263
01:00:36,079 --> 01:00:40,119
of this jigsaw puzzle together.

1264
01:00:40,640 --> 01:00:46,000
Now, here is East 71st Street. This is

1265
01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:48,480
the coal house, the yard, and the

1266
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:50,720
apartment house next door. Now, let's

1267
01:00:48,480 --> 01:00:53,520
have a look inside.

1268
01:00:50,720 --> 01:00:54,799
This is a McDonald's apartment.

1269
01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:57,280
Directly opposite is the window of

1270
01:00:54,799 --> 01:00:59,760
Archer Co's bedroom.

1271
01:00:57,280 --> 01:01:01,599
Underneath McDonald's apartment is the

1272
01:00:59,760 --> 01:01:05,200
cozy little nest of Miss Delerfield and

1273
01:01:01,599 --> 01:01:07,520
her temporary guest, Mr. Graci. This is

1274
01:01:05,200 --> 01:01:09,599
the elevator. And here are the stairs

1275
01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:11,760
that lead directly to the back entrance.

1276
01:01:09,599 --> 01:01:13,119
From there, it's easy to reach the back

1277
01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:17,040
entrance to the co house across the

1278
01:01:13,119 --> 01:01:19,200
yard. Now,

1279
01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:21,440
that's the front hall. And here's the

1280
01:01:19,200 --> 01:01:23,440
library.

1281
01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:26,079
On Wednesday evening between 7:30 and

1282
01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:28,559
8:00, Archer Co was sitting alone in

1283
01:01:26,079 --> 01:01:30,480
that room.

1284
01:01:28,559 --> 01:01:32,240
Now remember, it was the servant's night

1285
01:01:30,480 --> 01:01:34,079
off.

1286
01:01:32,240 --> 01:01:37,119
The killer must have known this when he

1287
01:01:34,079 --> 01:01:39,920
came in the back door. He was so intent

1288
01:01:37,119 --> 01:01:42,400
upon what he was planning to do that he

1289
01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:44,319
must have left the back door open

1290
01:01:42,400 --> 01:01:48,720
because from somewhere in that vacant

1291
01:01:44,319 --> 01:01:51,680
lot came a dog, a Doberman Pincher

1292
01:01:48,720 --> 01:01:54,559
belonging to Doris Delifffield.

1293
01:01:51,680 --> 01:01:56,400
He saw the back door standing open and

1294
01:01:54,559 --> 01:01:58,240
went in.

1295
01:01:56,400 --> 01:02:01,040
Meanwhile, the killer was moving along

1296
01:01:58,240 --> 01:02:03,280
the hall toward the library, making

1297
01:02:01,040 --> 01:02:04,880
absolutely sure that Archer Cole was

1298
01:02:03,280 --> 01:02:07,359
alone.

1299
01:02:04,880 --> 01:02:10,400
He knew exactly where he was going and

1300
01:02:07,359 --> 01:02:12,480
exactly what he was going to do.

1301
01:02:10,400 --> 01:02:14,799
He came so silently that it must have

1302
01:02:12,480 --> 01:02:17,839
startled Archer Cole when he looked up

1303
01:02:14,799 --> 01:02:20,079
and saw him carefully closing the doors.

1304
01:02:17,839 --> 01:02:23,119
It is my conjecture, gentlemen, that a

1305
01:02:20,079 --> 01:02:25,680
terrific argument took place. Archer

1306
01:02:23,119 --> 01:02:27,760
Cole must have struck and as he fell

1307
01:02:25,680 --> 01:02:30,319
back, he picked up the poker as the

1308
01:02:27,760 --> 01:02:33,760
first weapon that came into his hand. He

1309
01:02:30,319 --> 01:02:36,319
struck Archo in the head. Cole collapsed

1310
01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:38,880
across the desk, his hands groping in

1311
01:02:36,319 --> 01:02:41,760
the drawer of the desk for his gun.

1312
01:02:38,880 --> 01:02:44,880
Then, in a blind rage of the moment, the

1313
01:02:41,760 --> 01:02:48,880
killer saw a Chinese dagger. He seized

1314
01:02:44,880 --> 01:02:53,200
it and stabbed Archer Cole in the back.

1315
01:02:48,880 --> 01:02:55,040
Cole probably fell to the floor.

1316
01:02:53,200 --> 01:02:57,359
Meantime, our Doberman Pincher was

1317
01:02:55,040 --> 01:02:59,040
coming closer and closer, probably

1318
01:02:57,359 --> 01:03:01,280
attracted by the sound of the struggle

1319
01:02:59,040 --> 01:03:03,440
in the library. As the killer opened the

1320
01:03:01,280 --> 01:03:05,440
door to escape, he saw the Doberman

1321
01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:07,440
Pincher in the hall coming toward him.

1322
01:03:05,440 --> 01:03:10,000
He again picked up the poker as the dog

1323
01:03:07,440 --> 01:03:13,440
entered the room. True to the instinct

1324
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:17,119
of his breed, the dog sensed an enemy.

1325
01:03:13,440 --> 01:03:19,760
He leaped. Killer struck and the dog

1326
01:03:17,119 --> 01:03:23,119
fell badly wounded. Now he tried to hide

1327
01:03:19,760 --> 01:03:26,000
the dagger in the tinga velo too hard

1328
01:03:23,119 --> 01:03:28,480
and the porcelain broke into bits. He

1329
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:32,520
picked up the dagger again and went out

1330
01:03:28,480 --> 01:03:32,520
the same way he came in.

1331
01:03:32,799 --> 01:03:37,200
Meanwhile, Cole slowly regained

1332
01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:40,240
consciousness and pulled himself to his

1333
01:03:37,200 --> 01:03:42,559
feet. You remember, gentlemen, that Dr.

1334
01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:44,400
Darus said Co died of an internal

1335
01:03:42,559 --> 01:03:47,280
hemorrhage.

1336
01:03:44,400 --> 01:03:50,400
That is the key to the whole situation.

1337
01:03:47,280 --> 01:03:52,160
Archer Co, already a dying man, walked

1338
01:03:50,400 --> 01:03:54,319
upstairs. And what is even more

1339
01:03:52,160 --> 01:03:56,240
terrible, he did not know that he had

1340
01:03:54,319 --> 01:03:58,160
been stabbed.

1341
01:03:56,240 --> 01:04:00,319
He went to his room and feeling a little

1342
01:03:58,160 --> 01:04:02,160
faint probably, he removed his coat and

1343
01:04:00,319 --> 01:04:04,559
vest and hung them in the closet where

1344
01:04:02,160 --> 01:04:07,680
we found them.

1345
01:04:04,559 --> 01:04:11,839
He put on his pajama top and went to the

1346
01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:13,760
window and raised the shade.

1347
01:04:11,839 --> 01:04:15,839
Can you imagine the killer's emotions

1348
01:04:13,760 --> 01:04:19,039
when from someplace in the apartment

1349
01:04:15,839 --> 01:04:20,960
house across the vacant lot, he looked

1350
01:04:19,039 --> 01:04:24,640
over and saw the man he thought he had

1351
01:04:20,960 --> 01:04:26,559
killed standing there at the window.

1352
01:04:24,640 --> 01:04:29,599
He knew then that he had to go back and

1353
01:04:26,559 --> 01:04:33,599
complete his job to save himself.

1354
01:04:29,599 --> 01:04:35,520
Feeling very faint by now, Archo went

1355
01:04:33,599 --> 01:04:40,160
from the window to the chair beside his

1356
01:04:35,520 --> 01:04:43,280
desk where he sat down. There he started

1357
01:04:40,160 --> 01:04:45,920
to remove his shoes. You remember just

1358
01:04:43,280 --> 01:04:48,319
how we found him. In the very act of

1359
01:04:45,920 --> 01:04:52,880
removing them, before he could get one

1360
01:04:48,319 --> 01:04:55,200
of them entirely off, he died.

1361
01:04:52,880 --> 01:04:56,480
I don't think he ever knew what killed

1362
01:04:55,200 --> 01:04:58,960
him.

1363
01:04:56,480 --> 01:05:01,200
Now we come to the most awful part of

1364
01:04:58,960 --> 01:05:02,960
the tragedy.

1365
01:05:01,200 --> 01:05:04,880
Brisbane Cole came back to the house

1366
01:05:02,960 --> 01:05:07,520
with a cleverly worked out plan for

1367
01:05:04,880 --> 01:05:09,440
killing his brother. He also knew that

1368
01:05:07,520 --> 01:05:12,880
it was the servant's night out and that

1369
01:05:09,440 --> 01:05:15,440
he would not be disturbed.

1370
01:05:12,880 --> 01:05:16,960
He went down the hall to the library and

1371
01:05:15,440 --> 01:05:19,440
from the drawer of the desk he took

1372
01:05:16,960 --> 01:05:21,200
Archer Co's own revolver and put it into

1373
01:05:19,440 --> 01:05:23,280
his pocket.

1374
01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:26,000
Then turning out the light on the desk

1375
01:05:23,280 --> 01:05:28,319
he went out of the room. He hung his

1376
01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:31,440
stick over the chair in the hall and

1377
01:05:28,319 --> 01:05:33,440
tiptoed up the stairs and into Archer

1378
01:05:31,440 --> 01:05:35,520
Co's room.

1379
01:05:33,440 --> 01:05:38,640
He saw his brother sitting in his easy

1380
01:05:35,520 --> 01:05:42,319
chair, apparently asleep.

1381
01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:43,920
I can see him tiptoe across the room.

1382
01:05:42,319 --> 01:05:46,880
And from somewhere, just across the

1383
01:05:43,920 --> 01:05:52,440
desk, he took out the revolver and with

1384
01:05:46,880 --> 01:05:52,440
careful aim, he pulled the trigger.

1385
01:05:53,119 --> 01:05:58,960
Meanwhile, the killer, believing that he

1386
01:05:56,240 --> 01:06:02,160
had only wounded Archer Cole, came back

1387
01:05:58,960 --> 01:06:04,480
by the same route to finish his job.

1388
01:06:02,160 --> 01:06:06,720
Then, Brisbane closed the window and

1389
01:06:04,480 --> 01:06:09,280
lowered the shade,

1390
01:06:06,720 --> 01:06:11,760
and returning to the body, he carefully

1391
01:06:09,280 --> 01:06:14,880
placed the gun in Archer's hand as

1392
01:06:11,760 --> 01:06:18,160
though it had been suicide.

1393
01:06:14,880 --> 01:06:21,760
Then he went to the door and with the

1394
01:06:18,160 --> 01:06:24,640
two pieces of string, the pins and the

1395
01:06:21,760 --> 01:06:29,440
darning needle, he was able to bolt the

1396
01:06:24,640 --> 01:06:32,319
door on the inside just as I showed you.

1397
01:06:29,440 --> 01:06:33,920
A very clever device, gentlemen, which

1398
01:06:32,319 --> 01:06:36,720
he had discovered in the book of

1399
01:06:33,920 --> 01:06:38,799
unsolved murders, which we found in his

1400
01:06:36,720 --> 01:06:41,200
suitcase.

1401
01:06:38,799 --> 01:06:43,200
Then, gentlemen, Brisbane went on down

1402
01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:44,960
the stairs, little knowing what awaited

1403
01:06:43,200 --> 01:06:47,599
him there.

1404
01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:50,319
The killer mistook Brisbane for Archer

1405
01:06:47,599 --> 01:06:52,880
Co. and drove the dagger into Brisbane's

1406
01:06:50,319 --> 01:06:55,520
back.

1407
01:06:52,880 --> 01:06:58,799
Then, to hide the body,

1408
01:06:55,520 --> 01:07:00,240
he dragged it into the closet.

1409
01:06:58,799 --> 01:07:02,480
I doubt if he even discovered his

1410
01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:05,440
mistake until the next day. That's

1411
01:07:02,480 --> 01:07:08,799
great. But who did all that? Well, you

1412
01:07:05,440 --> 01:07:10,720
can search me. I'm going destroy now.

1413
01:07:08,799 --> 01:07:13,359
You can include me in that, Sergeant.

1414
01:07:10,720 --> 01:07:15,280
Haven't you got any ideas at all, Vance?

1415
01:07:13,359 --> 01:07:17,039
Morgan, it's a maze of conflicting

1416
01:07:15,280 --> 01:07:19,440
clues. Anyone of seven people might have

1417
01:07:17,039 --> 01:07:22,000
done it. But we couldn't convict seven

1418
01:07:19,440 --> 01:07:24,319
people, Mr. Vance. You couldn't convict

1419
01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:26,160
one with the evidence you've got.

1420
01:07:24,319 --> 01:07:29,160
Gentlemen, I'm afraid we're completely

1421
01:07:26,160 --> 01:07:29,160
stopped.

1422
01:07:30,880 --> 01:07:35,920
Late? I hate to admit it, but it looks

1423
01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:37,440
that way. Vance, in all the years we've

1424
01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:41,520
worked together, I never heard you say

1425
01:07:37,440 --> 01:07:43,039
that before. I know. I'm sorry, Min.

1426
01:07:41,520 --> 01:07:45,200
Well, what are we going to do about it?

1427
01:07:43,039 --> 01:07:47,359
I don't know. Are you sure you checked

1428
01:07:45,200 --> 01:07:48,799
up on all the alibis? Every one of them.

1429
01:07:47,359 --> 01:07:51,200
And you've gone over the fingerprint

1430
01:07:48,799 --> 01:07:53,200
situation with your boy? Yes, sir. Well,

1431
01:07:51,200 --> 01:07:54,720
we've slipped up somewhere, Sergeant.

1432
01:07:53,200 --> 01:07:58,280
But there must be something that we can

1433
01:07:54,720 --> 01:07:58,280
get our teeth into.

1434
01:07:58,960 --> 01:08:02,559
Mock,

1435
01:08:00,559 --> 01:08:04,960
I suggest that you dismiss this case.

1436
01:08:02,559 --> 01:08:07,440
What? Dismiss it. Yes. Turn all the

1437
01:08:04,960 --> 01:08:09,599
suspects loose. I can just see all the

1438
01:08:07,440 --> 01:08:11,520
newspapers in this town screaming for a

1439
01:08:09,599 --> 01:08:12,880
new district attorney. Well, we can

1440
01:08:11,520 --> 01:08:14,799
probably cover you up. All right, Mr.

1441
01:08:12,880 --> 01:08:16,640
Markham. I've said it with suicide all

1442
01:08:14,799 --> 01:08:19,359
along. Yes, I know. We could put that

1443
01:08:16,640 --> 01:08:20,960
solution on it, but I hate to do it. All

1444
01:08:19,359 --> 01:08:23,920
right, Sergeant. Go ahead. Turn him

1445
01:08:20,960 --> 01:08:26,080
loose. Turn him loose. Yes.

1446
01:08:23,920 --> 01:08:29,080
Well, Mr. Vance, this is once we're both

1447
01:08:26,080 --> 01:08:29,080
stuck.

1448
01:08:30,799 --> 01:08:36,480
When you give up, Vance, I'm sunk.

1449
01:08:34,159 --> 01:08:39,279
Oh, I haven't given up. I have another

1450
01:08:36,480 --> 01:08:41,679
idea. What? If it works, I'll have your

1451
01:08:39,279 --> 01:08:42,719
killer for you in half an hour. I'm

1452
01:08:41,679 --> 01:08:44,880
going to arrange a little meeting with

1453
01:08:42,719 --> 01:08:46,960
him now. What? But you let me dismiss

1454
01:08:44,880 --> 01:08:50,440
all the suspects. That's just what I

1455
01:08:46,960 --> 01:08:50,440
wanted you to do.

1456
01:08:57,199 --> 01:09:04,400
Hello. Uh, this is Mr. Vance.

1457
01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:06,000
I hope I haven't disturbed you.

1458
01:09:04,400 --> 01:09:08,640
See, I wonder if you do me a little

1459
01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:10,960
favor, Mr. Barkham. Yes. Can I see you a

1460
01:09:08,640 --> 01:09:12,880
minute?

1461
01:09:10,960 --> 01:09:14,960
That suicide story might work all right

1462
01:09:12,880 --> 01:09:16,719
for Archer Co., but I forgot all about

1463
01:09:14,960 --> 01:09:18,719
Brisbane.

1464
01:09:16,719 --> 01:09:21,040
Well, never mind about that now. Just

1465
01:09:18,719 --> 01:09:23,040
release the suspects as I told you. All

1466
01:09:21,040 --> 01:09:28,560
right,

1467
01:09:23,040 --> 01:09:31,679
that's it. Yes, that's right. At 4:30.

1468
01:09:28,560 --> 01:09:33,520
and just get him into an argument.

1469
01:09:31,679 --> 01:09:35,440
Oh, I'll have him with me. I'm depending

1470
01:09:33,520 --> 01:09:38,480
on his instinct.

1471
01:09:35,440 --> 01:09:40,719
That's right. Thanks.

1472
01:09:38,480 --> 01:09:42,719
If we can catch him off his guard, I

1473
01:09:40,719 --> 01:09:44,719
think he'll give himself away. Come on,

1474
01:09:42,719 --> 01:09:46,400
Mark. We've got to get there before

1475
01:09:44,719 --> 01:09:48,719
4:25.

1476
01:09:46,400 --> 01:09:51,359
Mr. Vance,

1477
01:09:48,719 --> 01:09:53,279
they're in the library now.

1478
01:09:51,359 --> 01:09:56,279
Oh, darling, let me help you. All right,

1479
01:09:53,279 --> 01:09:56,279
Dorothy.

1480
01:10:01,550 --> 01:10:09,060
[Music]

1481
01:10:05,790 --> 01:10:09,060
[Applause]

1482
01:10:13,920 --> 01:10:17,199
Well, it's the first time we've used

1483
01:10:15,440 --> 01:10:19,199
blood hounds in police work since I wore

1484
01:10:17,199 --> 01:10:21,280
high button shoes. And red flannel

1485
01:10:19,199 --> 01:10:24,159
underwear. Oh, I always wear red flannel

1486
01:10:21,280 --> 01:10:28,320
underwear. So do I. I want your bridal

1487
01:10:24,159 --> 01:10:31,120
suite on the on the Corona sailing at

1488
01:10:28,320 --> 01:10:33,199
midnight. That's right. Thank you.

1489
01:10:31,120 --> 01:10:35,760
Sailing at midnight.

1490
01:10:33,199 --> 01:10:37,840
Lady McDonald, is it the title that

1491
01:10:35,760 --> 01:10:39,199
dazzles you so much? Or is it the

1492
01:10:37,840 --> 01:10:41,199
fortune she'll inherit that makes her so

1493
01:10:39,199 --> 01:10:43,199
attractive, Sir Thomas? Raymond, are you

1494
01:10:41,199 --> 01:10:44,800
crazy? It isn't the first time a fortune

1495
01:10:43,199 --> 01:10:46,320
has bought a title. It so happens I'm

1496
01:10:44,800 --> 01:10:47,440
not in need of a fortune. Possibly you

1497
01:10:46,320 --> 01:10:48,640
are. Raymond, you have no right to

1498
01:10:47,440 --> 01:10:50,320
interfere this way. All right. Well,

1499
01:10:48,640 --> 01:10:52,239
I'll take that right. You think you're

1500
01:10:50,320 --> 01:10:53,840
both sailing at midnight. Well, it won't

1501
01:10:52,239 --> 01:10:55,440
work. You're going all right, sir.

1502
01:10:53,840 --> 01:10:59,560
Thomas, but you're going alone. Really?

1503
01:10:55,440 --> 01:10:59,560
Yes. And you're going now, right?

1504
01:11:15,520 --> 01:11:19,560
Ah, the poker again, huh?

1505
01:11:22,320 --> 01:11:27,000
Take him off. Take him off.

1506
01:11:32,320 --> 01:11:37,080
Take him off. Will you take him home?

1507
01:11:41,360 --> 01:11:45,040
Hold him. Why did you kill Cole? Why did

1508
01:11:43,600 --> 01:11:46,560
you kill him? I didn't mean to kill him.

1509
01:11:45,040 --> 01:11:48,560
But you did, eh? I told you I didn't

1510
01:11:46,560 --> 01:11:50,480
mean to kill him. He struck me when I

1511
01:11:48,560 --> 01:11:53,840
told him I wanted to marry Hilda, but I

1512
01:11:50,480 --> 01:11:55,360
lost my head. I hit him with a poker. I

1513
01:11:53,840 --> 01:11:57,360
don't remember anything after that. What

1514
01:11:55,360 --> 01:12:00,400
about Brisbane? It was a terrible

1515
01:11:57,360 --> 01:12:03,520
mistake. And McDonald, I still would

1516
01:12:00,400 --> 01:12:05,679
kill him if I could.

1517
01:12:03,520 --> 01:12:07,120
There's your man, Sergeant.

1518
01:12:05,679 --> 01:12:09,280
You made a fatal mistake, Reed, when you

1519
01:12:07,120 --> 01:12:11,600
reached for that poker. Somebody swiped

1520
01:12:09,280 --> 01:12:15,040
my bracelets. You dropped them in the

1521
01:12:11,600 --> 01:12:17,199
pantry. Oh, all right. Hennessy, down,

1522
01:12:15,040 --> 01:12:19,840
booking. I want to thank you very much

1523
01:12:17,199 --> 01:12:21,120
for your cooperation. Not at all. It was

1524
01:12:19,840 --> 01:12:23,040
Sir Thomas I telephoned from your

1525
01:12:21,120 --> 01:12:25,760
office, Markhamm. He very cleverly

1526
01:12:23,040 --> 01:12:28,640
helped to stage this little scene. We

1527
01:12:25,760 --> 01:12:31,679
have to thank the dog for the rest.

1528
01:12:28,640 --> 01:12:33,760
Well, we did it again, Mr. Vance.

1529
01:12:31,679 --> 01:12:35,600
Congratulations, Sergeant. Thank you.

1530
01:12:33,760 --> 01:12:38,560
I'll certainly mention you in my story

1531
01:12:35,600 --> 01:12:41,170
to the papers. Thank you. Oh, that's all

1532
01:12:38,560 --> 01:12:44,810
right, Mr. Vance.

1533
01:12:41,170 --> 01:12:44,810
