1
00:01:21,715 --> 00:01:23,616
Roy Mooney, I
think you're positively
2
00:01:23,750 --> 00:01:25,810
the most loathsome
person I know!
3
00:01:25,953 --> 00:01:29,890
Hey, baby. What are
you doing out so late?
4
00:01:30,023 --> 00:01:33,391
This is the last time
you'll ever stand me up!
5
00:01:33,527 --> 00:01:35,758
Stand you up?
6
00:01:35,896 --> 00:01:37,660
Oh, your school dance!
7
00:01:37,798 --> 00:01:39,960
Gee kid, I'm sorry.
8
00:01:40,100 --> 00:01:41,110
I said I'd make it if I could...
9
00:01:41,134 --> 00:01:42,727
You promised!
10
00:01:42,869 --> 00:01:46,271
And I told all the kids
you were going to be there.
11
00:01:46,406 --> 00:01:49,672
And all evening they saw
me dancing with just boys!
12
00:01:49,810 --> 00:01:52,177
It was humiliating!
13
00:01:52,312 --> 00:01:53,746
The boss made me work...
14
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,612
You used the same
excuse for my birthday party.
15
00:01:57,751 --> 00:01:59,982
And what about
last Saturday night?
16
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:01,850
No transportation.
17
00:02:01,989 --> 00:02:05,585
I mean, how did you expect
me to get to town... walk?
18
00:02:05,726 --> 00:02:06,921
Yes!
19
00:02:07,060 --> 00:02:08,722
7 miles?
20
00:02:08,862 --> 00:02:11,297
I've got better
uses for my energy.
21
00:02:12,966 --> 00:02:14,628
Melinda...
22
00:02:16,837 --> 00:02:20,171
What's your hurry?
You just got here.
23
00:02:20,307 --> 00:02:22,435
I said what I came to say.
24
00:02:22,576 --> 00:02:25,671
That's not what you came for.
25
00:02:31,718 --> 00:02:34,813
Oh, Roy, if it weren't for you,
26
00:02:34,955 --> 00:02:37,857
I'd just die in this
awful cow town.
27
00:02:41,628 --> 00:02:43,529
But why are you so mean to me?
28
00:02:43,664 --> 00:02:47,965
I told you. I've been,
you know, busy.
29
00:02:48,101 --> 00:02:50,969
I've got other things
to do besides...
30
00:02:52,906 --> 00:02:55,068
- But, Roy...
- Shh!
31
00:02:55,208 --> 00:02:58,474
Sounds like my
Uncle Martin's truck.
32
00:02:58,612 --> 00:03:00,808
Come on. If he finds you
here, he'll tell your old man.
33
00:03:00,947 --> 00:03:03,109
But you've got lipstick!
34
00:03:06,086 --> 00:03:07,952
That's a woman's hanky.
35
00:03:08,088 --> 00:03:09,613
What? Oh yeah!
36
00:03:09,756 --> 00:03:11,816
Well, you gave me that
the last time we were...
37
00:03:11,958 --> 00:03:13,586
That's not mine.
38
00:03:13,727 --> 00:03:16,561
"A"! Who's "A"?
39
00:03:16,697 --> 00:03:20,464
So that's why you've been
too busy to keep dates with me!
40
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,091
Who is "A"?!
41
00:03:22,235 --> 00:03:23,601
Come on!
42
00:03:39,820 --> 00:03:40,685
Roy!
43
00:03:40,821 --> 00:03:43,381
Stay here. I'll get rid of him.
44
00:03:46,026 --> 00:03:48,018
Mooney!
45
00:03:48,161 --> 00:03:50,096
Right here, Uncle Martin.
46
00:03:50,230 --> 00:03:52,199
You're supposed
to be sorting bulbs.
47
00:03:52,332 --> 00:03:53,891
All finished.
48
00:03:55,902 --> 00:03:58,098
Oh, did you happen
to see my wife drive by?
49
00:03:58,238 --> 00:03:59,365
She back from town yet?
50
00:03:59,506 --> 00:04:01,532
Haven't seen her
since she left the house.
51
00:04:02,809 --> 00:04:04,937
What were you doing
out there just now?
52
00:04:05,078 --> 00:04:08,105
Um, chasing away
some kids from town.
53
00:04:08,248 --> 00:04:10,877
They're all gone
now, Uncle Martin.
54
00:04:11,017 --> 00:04:12,849
Are they?
55
00:04:15,422 --> 00:04:16,720
Then whose is this?
56
00:04:16,857 --> 00:04:19,349
I hadn't noticed it.
57
00:04:26,466 --> 00:04:28,196
I'll teach those
delinquents a lesson!
58
00:04:28,335 --> 00:04:30,497
- Aw, now, look, Uncle Martin...
- Give me a hand!
59
00:04:30,637 --> 00:04:32,333
Maybe if they have
to walk home once,
60
00:04:32,472 --> 00:04:34,839
they'll stay out of
other people's property!
61
00:04:38,178 --> 00:04:39,737
Get in.
62
00:04:41,681 --> 00:04:44,674
You said you were finished
with those bulbs, didn't you?
63
00:04:44,818 --> 00:04:46,218
Yeah.
64
00:04:46,353 --> 00:04:48,049
Get in the truck.
I'll drive you home.
65
00:05:11,578 --> 00:05:15,310
Hello there. Do girls still
have to walk home these days?
66
00:05:15,448 --> 00:05:17,542
I'm not walking home.
67
00:05:17,684 --> 00:05:19,880
You live in town, don't you?
68
00:05:20,020 --> 00:05:21,989
Climb in, sweetie.
69
00:05:22,122 --> 00:05:24,614
Virtue needs more
reward than it usually gets.
70
00:05:45,212 --> 00:05:47,875
It's very nice of you.
71
00:05:48,014 --> 00:05:50,347
My feet hurt.
72
00:05:50,483 --> 00:05:53,476
Soak them in warm
water and Epsom salts.
73
00:05:53,620 --> 00:05:54,849
Is that what you did?
74
00:05:54,988 --> 00:05:59,016
On a few occasions,
and a very long time ago.
75
00:05:59,159 --> 00:06:00,627
I'm Mrs. Martin Walden.
76
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:02,626
Oh!
77
00:06:02,762 --> 00:06:04,788
Oh?
78
00:06:04,931 --> 00:06:08,493
Oh, I just mean that my
father knows your husband.
79
00:06:08,635 --> 00:06:09,500
Radio: Station KRT concludes...
80
00:06:09,636 --> 00:06:11,696
That's him. Nelson Tarr.
81
00:06:11,838 --> 00:06:13,830
Radio: We'll return
to the air at 6:00 am.
82
00:06:13,974 --> 00:06:16,739
My husband sold
him the radio station.
83
00:06:16,877 --> 00:06:19,039
So you're Melinda Tarr.
84
00:06:19,179 --> 00:06:20,613
Do you know my father?
85
00:06:20,747 --> 00:06:23,683
Yes, we've met.
86
00:06:25,552 --> 00:06:29,489
Is there going to be trouble
about you being out so late?
87
00:06:29,623 --> 00:06:32,559
Since my mother died,
he's been awful strict.
88
00:06:32,692 --> 00:06:35,059
I just hope I get home first.
89
00:06:35,195 --> 00:06:37,790
Well, fasten your safety belt.
90
00:06:37,931 --> 00:06:39,051
If we don't make it in time,
91
00:06:39,132 --> 00:06:40,964
tell him you went
for a ride with Andy.
92
00:06:41,101 --> 00:06:43,900
That's short for Andrea.
93
00:06:54,281 --> 00:06:56,045
Melinda?
94
00:07:19,439 --> 00:07:21,772
Hello?
95
00:07:21,908 --> 00:07:25,606
Oh, hi, Mr. Tarr.
96
00:07:25,745 --> 00:07:28,146
Well, no, I didn't exactly
take her to the dance.
97
00:07:28,281 --> 00:07:31,251
We sort of met there,
kind of informal, you know.
98
00:07:31,384 --> 00:07:34,218
Apparently, you didn't
bring her home, either.
99
00:07:35,855 --> 00:07:37,375
What do you mean
she took your scooter?
100
00:07:37,457 --> 00:07:40,621
Well, I guess she
just felt like a little ride.
101
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,139
She's borrowed it lots of times
when she knows I don't need it.
102
00:07:43,163 --> 00:07:46,395
I'll see that she gets it back
to you, Jimmie. Goodnight.
103
00:07:49,235 --> 00:07:50,794
The lights are on.
104
00:07:50,937 --> 00:07:52,633
Your father must have
run all the way home
105
00:07:52,772 --> 00:07:54,206
from his radio station.
106
00:07:54,341 --> 00:07:56,310
It's only a couple of blocks.
107
00:07:56,443 --> 00:07:59,242
Thank you very
much, Mrs. Walden.
108
00:07:59,379 --> 00:08:03,339
Sweetie, don't get involved
with the wrong kind of boy.
109
00:08:03,483 --> 00:08:06,783
Next time you might have to
walk the whole 7 miles home.
110
00:08:13,660 --> 00:08:16,357
Oh, I must've dropped my hanky.
111
00:08:16,496 --> 00:08:19,056
No, it's mine.
112
00:08:19,199 --> 00:08:21,031
Goodnight, Melinda.
113
00:08:29,075 --> 00:08:31,840
I was under the impression
curfew was 11:00.
114
00:08:31,978 --> 00:08:33,970
I'm sorry.
115
00:08:34,114 --> 00:08:35,548
Who brought you home?
116
00:08:35,682 --> 00:08:37,776
Andrea Walden.
117
00:08:37,917 --> 00:08:40,751
The both of you
on a motor scooter?
118
00:08:40,887 --> 00:08:42,856
Scooter?
119
00:08:42,989 --> 00:08:46,016
Daddy, did you have
to check up on me?
120
00:08:46,159 --> 00:08:48,492
Melinda, I did not check...
121
00:08:48,628 --> 00:08:50,153
What about Jimmie's scooter?
122
00:08:50,296 --> 00:08:52,288
You know he needs
it for his deliveries.
123
00:08:52,432 --> 00:08:55,561
I don't have it. I
mean, it broke down.
124
00:08:55,702 --> 00:08:57,534
That's why I had to walk home.
125
00:08:57,670 --> 00:09:00,105
I'll get it back
tomorrow, don't worry.
126
00:09:02,442 --> 00:09:05,071
She says you used
to call her Andy.
127
00:09:05,211 --> 00:09:06,736
Hmm?
128
00:09:08,481 --> 00:09:10,643
Oh, Melinda,
129
00:09:10,784 --> 00:09:16,883
I, uh, I wish you would
stay away from Mrs. Walden.
130
00:09:17,023 --> 00:09:18,992
Why? Is something
the matter with her?
131
00:09:19,125 --> 00:09:21,356
Just because she
used to be an actress?
132
00:09:21,494 --> 00:09:23,258
Oh, no, of course not. It's...
133
00:09:23,396 --> 00:09:25,695
It's just that there's a
peculiar situation there.
134
00:09:25,832 --> 00:09:27,994
I mean, I might have
some business problems
135
00:09:28,134 --> 00:09:28,999
with her husband.
136
00:09:29,135 --> 00:09:30,831
She's so beautiful.
137
00:09:30,970 --> 00:09:32,734
I'll bet a lot of men
are in love with her.
138
00:09:32,872 --> 00:09:35,740
That's no way to talk about her,
Melinda. She's a married woman.
139
00:09:37,410 --> 00:09:39,379
Yes, I know.
140
00:09:50,156 --> 00:09:51,988
How was the movie?
141
00:09:52,125 --> 00:09:53,925
There were a couple
of old friends in the cast
142
00:09:54,060 --> 00:09:55,221
that was fun.
143
00:09:55,361 --> 00:09:56,420
Made you homesick, eh?
144
00:09:56,563 --> 00:09:58,088
Not particularly.
145
00:09:58,231 --> 00:09:59,591
They're still playing
second leads.
146
00:09:59,699 --> 00:10:01,759
I probably would be, too.
147
00:10:01,901 --> 00:10:05,065
You see anybody
you knew in town?
148
00:10:05,205 --> 00:10:06,696
Just your sister.
149
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,902
Frances? She never
goes to the movies.
150
00:10:11,044 --> 00:10:13,741
I saw her in front
of the hospital.
151
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,076
Oh, I did pick up
a girl on the road.
152
00:10:16,216 --> 00:10:19,209
She was walking
home from a date.
153
00:10:19,352 --> 00:10:20,786
I'll bet she was!
154
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,379
Maybe those kids'll think twice
about trespassing, after this.
155
00:10:24,524 --> 00:10:25,924
What did you do to them?
156
00:10:26,059 --> 00:10:28,059
I found their motor scooter
down by the greenhouse.
157
00:10:28,194 --> 00:10:29,492
So I locked it up.
158
00:10:29,629 --> 00:10:31,120
You didn't!
159
00:10:33,700 --> 00:10:36,602
Martin, you'll make a
lot of friends that way.
160
00:10:36,736 --> 00:10:38,364
That's one thing I
don't worry about.
161
00:10:38,505 --> 00:10:39,939
My wife has all the friends.
162
00:10:40,073 --> 00:10:43,168
And away we go! Martin,
can't you for once...
163
00:10:43,309 --> 00:10:45,835
Who was it this time?
Tell the truth now.
164
00:10:45,979 --> 00:10:48,210
Well, don't you already know?
165
00:10:48,348 --> 00:10:50,044
I'm surprised you
didn't follow me.
166
00:10:50,183 --> 00:10:53,153
By any chance, are you riding
a motor scooter these nights?
167
00:10:55,421 --> 00:10:58,357
You're asking if it was
me down by the green...
168
00:10:58,491 --> 00:11:01,620
Where Roy Mooney works?
169
00:11:01,761 --> 00:11:03,525
Oh, that's very flattering!
170
00:11:03,663 --> 00:11:07,327
Me and the hired hand...
And your own nephew, at that!
171
00:11:07,467 --> 00:11:09,732
I noticed you mending a
shirt for him the other day.
172
00:11:09,869 --> 00:11:10,909
And he is a man, isn't he?
173
00:11:10,970 --> 00:11:13,371
Martin, I think you're sick!
174
00:11:13,506 --> 00:11:15,600
I'm going to bed before I...
175
00:11:32,458 --> 00:11:33,983
Mr. Pinter?
176
00:11:34,127 --> 00:11:36,790
Martin Walden.
177
00:11:36,930 --> 00:11:38,370
I want you to come
out here tomorrow.
178
00:11:38,498 --> 00:11:41,058
I have a certain legal
matter for you to handle.
179
00:11:41,201 --> 00:11:46,162
It isn't my scooter, Roy!
I've got to get it back.
180
00:11:46,306 --> 00:11:48,639
I told you, Walden's
got it locked up.
181
00:11:48,775 --> 00:11:51,006
He says the owner can
come and get it any time.
182
00:11:52,378 --> 00:11:54,176
But I can't go to him.
183
00:11:54,314 --> 00:11:58,718
If he finds out it was me,
he might tell my father.
184
00:11:58,851 --> 00:12:01,685
Doesn't your old
man approve of me?
185
00:12:02,755 --> 00:12:05,122
He doesn't even know about you.
186
00:12:05,258 --> 00:12:07,454
But I'm afraid he
wouldn't if he did.
187
00:12:07,594 --> 00:12:11,224
Please, Roy.
Mr. Walden's your uncle.
188
00:12:11,364 --> 00:12:13,128
That doesn't mean a thing!
189
00:12:19,172 --> 00:12:21,698
Then what about his wife?
190
00:12:22,742 --> 00:12:24,574
What about her?
191
00:12:24,711 --> 00:12:28,170
Maybe she could
be persuaded to help.
192
00:12:28,314 --> 00:12:29,646
Why should she?
193
00:12:30,750 --> 00:12:34,209
Maybe to make sure
that nothing leaked out
194
00:12:34,354 --> 00:12:38,382
about her and a...
A certain gentleman.
195
00:12:38,524 --> 00:12:40,493
Don't call me names.
196
00:12:40,627 --> 00:12:42,425
And keep your voice down!
197
00:12:42,562 --> 00:12:44,428
They're talking about
that Mrs. Walden.
198
00:12:44,564 --> 00:12:46,157
Quiet!
199
00:12:46,299 --> 00:12:48,598
I wonder who she's
playing around with now?
200
00:12:52,238 --> 00:12:53,570
Did you hear anything?
201
00:12:53,706 --> 00:12:54,571
Uh-huh.
202
00:12:54,707 --> 00:12:58,303
Who is it? Tell me!
203
00:12:58,444 --> 00:13:00,845
No. No. You'd
spread it all over town.
204
00:13:00,980 --> 00:13:02,972
I ought to slap your face!
205
00:13:03,116 --> 00:13:04,675
Anyway, I already
know who it is.
206
00:13:04,817 --> 00:13:08,549
It's that Mr. Hearn at
the bank. Chris Hearn.
207
00:13:08,688 --> 00:13:11,180
Nah, that's old stuff.
208
00:13:11,324 --> 00:13:12,758
It's somebody else now.
209
00:13:21,334 --> 00:13:23,394
Girls?
210
00:13:26,472 --> 00:13:28,907
Now, who is it?
211
00:13:29,042 --> 00:13:30,203
You know, Aunt Frances,
212
00:13:30,343 --> 00:13:32,121
when those kids get through
shooting off their mouths,
213
00:13:32,145 --> 00:13:34,910
Andrea isn't the only one
who may have to leave town.
214
00:13:35,048 --> 00:13:37,279
Have you grown
fond of living here?
215
00:13:37,417 --> 00:13:38,749
It's the end of nowhere!
216
00:13:38,885 --> 00:13:40,285
Listen, the sooner
I leave Palmetto,
217
00:13:40,353 --> 00:13:42,264
the better I'll like it. But I
want to go in one piece.
218
00:13:42,288 --> 00:13:43,551
Nonsense, Roy!
219
00:13:43,690 --> 00:13:45,567
You're being well paid for
any risks you'd have to take.
220
00:13:45,591 --> 00:13:48,891
Yeah, but how much
will you make out of it?
221
00:13:49,028 --> 00:13:52,863
I'm not doing this for
money. It's to protect Martin.
222
00:13:52,999 --> 00:13:55,230
Given enough time that
woman would ruin him!
223
00:13:55,368 --> 00:13:56,893
Ah, come off it!
224
00:13:57,036 --> 00:13:58,580
You're not paying me
$1,000 to frame her unless...
225
00:13:58,604 --> 00:14:01,403
Don't you talk to me like that!
226
00:14:01,541 --> 00:14:04,067
I'm only exposing Andrea
for what she really is...
227
00:14:04,210 --> 00:14:06,577
A grasping, immoral woman.
228
00:14:06,713 --> 00:14:09,945
She's just been too
clever to get caught.
229
00:14:10,083 --> 00:14:14,953
But this time I'm going to make
sure the whole town knows.
230
00:14:15,088 --> 00:14:16,488
Martin will have to divorce her.
231
00:14:16,622 --> 00:14:19,990
And then you'll move
back out to the farm, huh?
232
00:14:20,126 --> 00:14:24,291
If my brother asks me to, yes.
233
00:14:24,430 --> 00:14:27,161
He needs someone
to take care of him.
234
00:14:34,674 --> 00:14:37,200
Look, Mr. Hearn, I
know the bank is closed.
235
00:14:37,343 --> 00:14:40,336
But if I could just
talk to you about this.
236
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,574
I've just been
reading your letter. I...
237
00:14:44,484 --> 00:14:45,713
Well, sure.
238
00:14:45,852 --> 00:14:47,663
Thank you, Mr. Hearn! I'll
be over there in 5 minutes.
239
00:14:47,687 --> 00:14:49,679
Thank you.
240
00:14:49,822 --> 00:14:51,518
Oh, Harvey, will
you watch the store.
241
00:14:51,657 --> 00:14:53,592
I've got to go over to the bank.
242
00:14:55,027 --> 00:14:56,552
May I come in?
243
00:14:56,696 --> 00:14:57,959
Well, of course.
244
00:14:58,097 --> 00:15:00,896
Andy, what's wrong with
that crazy husband of yours?
245
00:15:01,033 --> 00:15:02,945
Do you know what he's
done about my station here?
246
00:15:02,969 --> 00:15:04,801
He sold my note
on it to the bank!
247
00:15:04,937 --> 00:15:06,633
Now they're
threatening to foreclose!
248
00:15:06,773 --> 00:15:09,072
Unless I come up with
the first 3 months payments,
249
00:15:09,208 --> 00:15:10,928
they'll take the station
away from me and...
250
00:15:11,043 --> 00:15:12,043
Nelson...
251
00:15:15,148 --> 00:15:16,878
Andy...
252
00:15:17,016 --> 00:15:19,076
What's the matter?
253
00:15:19,218 --> 00:15:21,653
Well, I'm leaving Martin.
254
00:15:22,722 --> 00:15:24,213
You're what?
255
00:15:24,357 --> 00:15:26,417
Well, I really don't
have much choice.
256
00:15:26,559 --> 00:15:29,461
You see, he almost threw
me out of the house just now.
257
00:15:30,830 --> 00:15:32,890
Why? What possible reason...
258
00:15:33,032 --> 00:15:35,194
I told you you ought to
keep up with the gossip.
259
00:15:35,334 --> 00:15:37,803
Everybody else knows
what a wicked woman I am.
260
00:15:37,937 --> 00:15:41,032
Would you stop talking nonsense!
261
00:15:41,174 --> 00:15:44,975
Well, he's become more
and more suspicious.
262
00:15:45,111 --> 00:15:50,140
But today he became
almost completely insane!
263
00:15:50,283 --> 00:15:53,185
I guess he's heard
some new silly gossip.
264
00:15:53,319 --> 00:15:54,912
He almost started hitting me...
265
00:15:55,054 --> 00:15:58,923
and, uh, Nelson...
266
00:16:03,095 --> 00:16:05,690
Andy, can you stay
here for a while?
267
00:16:05,832 --> 00:16:07,075
I've got to go over to the bank.
268
00:16:07,099 --> 00:16:09,796
But I'll be right back.
269
00:16:09,936 --> 00:16:11,029
I'll help you with this.
270
00:16:11,170 --> 00:16:13,765
Honest I will.
271
00:16:19,745 --> 00:16:21,509
Well, I'm surprised
that Mr. Walden didn't
272
00:16:21,647 --> 00:16:22,842
inform you himself.
273
00:16:22,982 --> 00:16:26,510
The first I knew was when
I got your letter, Mr. Hearn.
274
00:16:26,652 --> 00:16:28,130
Well, it's the bank's
business to see that payments
275
00:16:28,154 --> 00:16:30,474
are made promptly, including
all delinquent installments...
276
00:16:30,556 --> 00:16:32,468
But I haven't paid anything
on the principal for 3 months.
277
00:16:32,492 --> 00:16:34,222
That was part of my
agreement with Walden...
278
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,888
I was to pay the interest
payments for the first 6 months.
279
00:16:38,030 --> 00:16:40,727
Oh, really? Well, I'll have to
check over the contracts again...
280
00:16:42,969 --> 00:16:45,871
It was a verbal agreement.
281
00:16:46,005 --> 00:16:47,530
Oh, I see.
282
00:16:47,673 --> 00:16:50,233
Well, you certainly know
that that isn't binding.
283
00:16:50,376 --> 00:16:52,576
Now, Mr. Tarr, we want you
to make a go of this venture,
284
00:16:52,678 --> 00:16:54,237
How long do I have?
285
00:16:55,414 --> 00:16:56,780
Well, uh...
286
00:16:58,851 --> 00:17:03,414
Let's say we could
stretch ourselves to...
287
00:17:03,556 --> 00:17:05,024
the end of the month.
288
00:17:05,157 --> 00:17:06,216
Or you'll foreclose?
289
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,726
Well, let's not consider
that possibility yet.
290
00:17:08,861 --> 00:17:10,557
Well, let's!
291
00:17:10,696 --> 00:17:12,324
I want you to talk to somebody
292
00:17:12,465 --> 00:17:14,366
who understands
all the legal words.
293
00:17:14,500 --> 00:17:15,934
May I?
294
00:17:16,068 --> 00:17:17,696
Go right ahead.
295
00:17:19,305 --> 00:17:22,207
Yes. I understand your
bank's position, Mr. Hearn.
296
00:17:22,341 --> 00:17:24,901
It was a sale with recourse.
297
00:17:25,044 --> 00:17:27,343
Yes, I think I have
the general idea.
298
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,644
Would you put Nelson Tarr
back on the phone, please?
299
00:17:32,351 --> 00:17:36,220
Nelson, I'd like to
read that contract.
300
00:17:36,355 --> 00:17:38,915
In fact, I wish I'd read
it before you signed it
301
00:17:39,058 --> 00:17:41,391
Well, just keep
it simple, Perry.
302
00:17:41,527 --> 00:17:42,893
I'm a radio announcer, not...
303
00:17:43,029 --> 00:17:44,895
I don't want to get
into a big legal hassle.
304
00:17:45,031 --> 00:17:48,160
A sale with recourse means the
bank can come back on Walden
305
00:17:48,301 --> 00:17:50,031
for any payments
you fail to make.
306
00:17:50,169 --> 00:17:53,697
If he doesn't pay, the
bank can foreclose.
307
00:17:53,839 --> 00:17:55,205
And there goes my down payment?
308
00:17:55,341 --> 00:17:56,400
That's right.
309
00:17:56,542 --> 00:17:57,874
But that's $29,000!
310
00:17:58,010 --> 00:17:59,410
Every cent I could
scrape together!
311
00:17:59,545 --> 00:18:02,447
It's still possible Walden might
honor that verbal agreement.
312
00:18:02,582 --> 00:18:05,643
At least you'd
have your 6 months.
313
00:18:05,785 --> 00:18:08,118
Of course I'll give it a try.
314
00:18:09,889 --> 00:18:12,586
All right, Nelson. Good-bye.
315
00:18:12,725 --> 00:18:14,591
Do you want me to
cancel your appointments?
316
00:18:14,727 --> 00:18:18,459
Well, certainly Nelson Tarr
can't afford to lose $29,000!
317
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:36,781
Chris? Andrea Walden.
318
00:18:36,916 --> 00:18:39,147
Well, hello stranger.
319
00:18:39,285 --> 00:18:41,447
How did you know
I was working late?
320
00:18:41,587 --> 00:18:44,182
I just took a chance. I
hope I'm not interrupting.
321
00:18:44,323 --> 00:18:46,087
Well, never.
322
00:18:46,225 --> 00:18:47,591
Nelson Tarr?
323
00:18:47,727 --> 00:18:49,992
No, he bolted out of
here about an hour ago.
324
00:18:50,129 --> 00:18:51,807
I think he went out to do
battle with your husband.
325
00:18:51,831 --> 00:18:52,924
Aren't you at home?
326
00:18:53,065 --> 00:18:55,261
Well, no. I'm still
in town waiting...
327
00:18:55,401 --> 00:18:58,599
What I mean is, I called the
house and nobody answered.
328
00:18:58,738 --> 00:19:00,673
I guess they could be
down at the greenhouse.
329
00:19:00,806 --> 00:19:01,806
Thanks, Chris.
330
00:19:06,278 --> 00:19:07,871
Mr. Walden?
331
00:19:08,014 --> 00:19:12,611
It's Melinda Tarr. I came
out to get my scooter.
332
00:19:13,786 --> 00:19:16,620
Mr. Walden, are you in there?
333
00:20:12,411 --> 00:20:13,538
Mr. Walden...
334
00:20:13,679 --> 00:20:16,342
Take it easy. I'll get you
out of here in a moment.
335
00:20:16,482 --> 00:20:19,213
He's in the greenhouse.
I think he's dead.
336
00:20:19,351 --> 00:20:21,149
What?!
337
00:20:26,692 --> 00:20:28,718
Here, I'll take care
of her. I'm a nurse.
338
00:20:28,861 --> 00:20:30,727
Thank God you've come along.
339
00:20:32,531 --> 00:20:34,898
I'm afraid she's badly hurt.
340
00:20:35,034 --> 00:20:36,229
She's all right.
341
00:20:36,368 --> 00:20:37,927
Here... help me
get her to my car.
342
00:20:50,516 --> 00:20:52,508
My name is Pinter.
343
00:20:52,651 --> 00:20:54,779
I was on my way to
see Martin Walden.
344
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,582
- Maybe you know him.
- He's my brother.
345
00:20:56,722 --> 00:20:58,918
Oh, I'm a lawyer.
Here's my card.
346
00:20:59,058 --> 00:21:01,550
We've got to get
her to the hospital.
347
00:21:01,694 --> 00:21:03,060
I'll follow you in
a few minutes.
348
00:21:03,195 --> 00:21:05,630
The girl mumbled something
just before passing out.
349
00:21:05,765 --> 00:21:08,325
I think it should
be looked into.
350
00:21:17,510 --> 00:21:20,878
I'm calling Mr. Nelson
Tarr. Is he there, please?
351
00:21:21,013 --> 00:21:23,448
Thank you.
352
00:21:23,582 --> 00:21:27,075
"David Pinter...
Attorney at Law."
353
00:21:27,219 --> 00:21:30,815
It's funny Mr. Walden would
bring a lawyer over from Vegas.
354
00:21:30,956 --> 00:21:33,335
That's what the man told me,
George, and he gave me his card.
355
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,123
I don't know anything
more than that.
356
00:21:35,261 --> 00:21:36,838
Well, any lawyer who
doesn't know the laws
357
00:21:36,862 --> 00:21:38,694
covering motor
vehicle accidents...
358
00:21:38,831 --> 00:21:40,629
He said he'd
follow me into town.
359
00:21:40,766 --> 00:21:43,201
Well, if he doesn't show
in a couple more minutes...
360
00:21:43,335 --> 00:21:45,497
Honey, get me the
police station, will you?
361
00:21:45,638 --> 00:21:46,867
Doctor?
362
00:21:47,006 --> 00:21:50,340
A nice solid concussion, but
the X-rays show no fracture.
363
00:21:50,476 --> 00:21:51,910
Here you are, Chief Delehanty.
364
00:21:52,044 --> 00:21:54,946
Apparently the station's
been trying to get you.
365
00:21:56,649 --> 00:21:59,710
Sergeant, there's a man named
David Pinter driving a blue...
366
00:21:59,852 --> 00:22:01,582
Where?!
367
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,586
Pinter's over there now?!
368
00:22:04,824 --> 00:22:07,055
Oh.
369
00:22:07,193 --> 00:22:09,185
Yeah. Right away.
370
00:22:09,328 --> 00:22:11,024
Tell them to wait for me.
371
00:22:11,163 --> 00:22:14,930
Uh. stick around a
minute, will you, Doc?
372
00:22:15,067 --> 00:22:17,059
Ma'am, I'm afraid I have
to tell you your brother,
373
00:22:17,203 --> 00:22:20,173
Mr. Walden, is dead.
374
00:22:24,343 --> 00:22:26,972
Probably smashed on
the temple with that pot.
375
00:22:27,112 --> 00:22:29,104
Then you think it was murder.
376
00:22:29,248 --> 00:22:31,979
Well, there are handier
ways to commit suicide.
377
00:22:32,117 --> 00:22:34,086
But the door was
locked from the inside.
378
00:22:34,220 --> 00:22:36,155
I had to break the
glass there to get in.
379
00:22:36,288 --> 00:22:37,586
Spring locked.
380
00:22:37,723 --> 00:22:38,900
All the killer would
have had to do
381
00:22:38,924 --> 00:22:41,587
was close the door behind him.
382
00:22:41,727 --> 00:22:44,720
I wish I knew what that
Tarr girl was doing out here.
383
00:22:44,864 --> 00:22:47,197
The kid on the scooter?
384
00:22:47,333 --> 00:22:49,700
Come on, Chief,
she's only a child.
385
00:22:49,835 --> 00:22:51,201
Sure, sure.
386
00:22:51,337 --> 00:22:53,397
And Mr. Walden was only
the richest man in town.
387
00:22:53,539 --> 00:22:56,839
Oh, brother, is this
one going to be trouble!
388
00:22:56,976 --> 00:22:58,877
Nelson?
389
00:22:59,011 --> 00:23:00,946
Miss Street, Perry.
390
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:04,517
Thank you for coming out,
391
00:23:04,650 --> 00:23:06,778
but it's too late.
392
00:23:06,919 --> 00:23:09,411
We heard your newscast about
Mr. Walden on the car radio.
393
00:23:09,555 --> 00:23:12,389
I saved one item just for you.
394
00:23:13,826 --> 00:23:15,590
I guess I'm the
one who killed him.
395
00:23:15,728 --> 00:23:17,128
You guess you're the one?
396
00:23:17,263 --> 00:23:20,495
I went out there to discuss
that verbal agreement with him.
397
00:23:20,633 --> 00:23:24,263
It didn't take too long to turn
into a verbal disagreement.
398
00:23:24,403 --> 00:23:28,204
Walden got personal and...
399
00:23:28,340 --> 00:23:30,673
I belted him in the mouth.
400
00:23:33,345 --> 00:23:34,745
Sit down, Della.
401
00:23:37,650 --> 00:23:40,586
All right, then what happened?
402
00:23:40,719 --> 00:23:41,719
Well, he went down,
403
00:23:41,854 --> 00:23:43,231
and he cracked his
head against the table.
404
00:23:43,255 --> 00:23:45,918
You said on the newscast
he was struck with a flowerpot.
405
00:23:46,058 --> 00:23:47,219
That was the police theory
406
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,385
until I had told 'em
what had happened.
407
00:23:49,528 --> 00:23:52,020
Walden must've knocked
the flowerpot off the table
408
00:23:52,164 --> 00:23:54,690
when he fell against it.
409
00:23:54,833 --> 00:23:56,734
Why didn't the police hold you?
410
00:23:56,869 --> 00:23:59,031
The bank manager,
Mr. Hearn, put up the bail
411
00:23:59,171 --> 00:24:01,003
to keep the station operating.
412
00:24:01,140 --> 00:24:03,905
So you're out on bail.
What was the charge?
413
00:24:04,043 --> 00:24:05,341
Manslaughter.
414
00:24:05,477 --> 00:24:08,845
Nelson, what time did your
fight with Walden occur?
415
00:24:08,981 --> 00:24:11,883
Oh, I guess a little after 6:30.
416
00:24:12,017 --> 00:24:16,011
I was listening to the garden
hour on my way out to Walden's.
417
00:24:16,155 --> 00:24:18,099
How did it happen that
the police didn't get there
418
00:24:18,123 --> 00:24:19,853
until well after 7:30?
419
00:24:19,992 --> 00:24:21,858
Because of Melinda's
accident, I guess.
420
00:24:21,994 --> 00:24:23,929
She was out there around 7:00.
421
00:24:24,063 --> 00:24:27,659
But she fell off her
scooter while going for help.
422
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:31,134
She told this guy
Pinter, a stranger,
423
00:24:31,270 --> 00:24:35,401
and I guess he couldn't even
find the greenhouse for a while.
424
00:24:35,541 --> 00:24:37,373
- Excuse me.
- Just a moment, please.
425
00:24:37,509 --> 00:24:39,478
Thank you.
426
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,044
Hello. You're Perry Mason.
427
00:24:45,184 --> 00:24:46,846
David Pinter. I
practice in Las Vegas.
428
00:24:46,986 --> 00:24:48,284
Oh, yes. Mr. Pinter.
429
00:24:48,420 --> 00:24:50,082
Well, I see somebody
didn't waste any time
430
00:24:50,222 --> 00:24:51,499
getting a lawyer
out from the city
431
00:24:51,523 --> 00:24:53,651
or maybe I shouldn't
have said that.
432
00:24:53,792 --> 00:24:56,227
Well, I didn't intend to
publicize it for a while.
433
00:24:56,362 --> 00:25:00,197
Maybe I didn't recognize
you then. That help?
434
00:25:00,332 --> 00:25:02,892
It would help more if you'd
give me what you know.
435
00:25:03,035 --> 00:25:07,837
Mr. Walden had asked me to
drive over to discuss a legal problem.
436
00:25:07,973 --> 00:25:10,670
Just as I turned
off the highway,
437
00:25:10,809 --> 00:25:14,871
this scooter was right
there in my headlights.
438
00:25:15,014 --> 00:25:16,915
The girl's all right
this morning, isn't she?
439
00:25:17,049 --> 00:25:19,575
Ordering milk shakes already.
440
00:25:19,718 --> 00:25:23,485
I can tell you that was a
pretty shaky moment last night.
441
00:25:23,622 --> 00:25:26,592
The girl bleeding,
dying for all I knew,
442
00:25:26,725 --> 00:25:28,284
mumbling something
about Mr. Walden
443
00:25:28,427 --> 00:25:29,895
being dead in the greenhouse.
444
00:25:30,029 --> 00:25:32,362
Luckily, that nurse came by.
445
00:25:32,498 --> 00:25:33,761
What nurse?
446
00:25:33,899 --> 00:25:37,336
Mr. Walden's sister
Frances. She's very efficient.
447
00:25:37,469 --> 00:25:39,438
Where did she come from?
448
00:25:39,571 --> 00:25:41,802
I don't know. There are a
lot of roads through there.
449
00:25:41,940 --> 00:25:43,670
I suppose...
450
00:25:43,809 --> 00:25:47,246
I really don't know
where she came from.
451
00:25:47,379 --> 00:25:50,611
I had some business to
discuss with my brother.
452
00:25:50,749 --> 00:25:53,218
I drove out to his place.
But I walked in on a...
453
00:25:53,352 --> 00:25:56,379
domestic quarrel,
so I backed out again.
454
00:25:56,522 --> 00:25:59,390
I went for a drive.
455
00:25:59,525 --> 00:26:00,993
I thought that by supper time
456
00:26:01,126 --> 00:26:02,685
things would have
settled down a bit.
457
00:26:02,828 --> 00:26:05,388
I was just on my way back
when I saw the accident.
458
00:26:05,531 --> 00:26:09,434
Miss Walden, you don't have
to answer this next question.
459
00:26:09,568 --> 00:26:12,470
I don't have to answer
any of your questions, do I?
460
00:26:12,604 --> 00:26:19,408
Mr. Pinter, was Martin Walden's
legal problem a divorce action?
461
00:26:19,545 --> 00:26:21,207
I don't think I ought
to discuss that.
462
00:26:21,346 --> 00:26:23,838
Most of your work
is in divorce, isn't it?
463
00:26:23,982 --> 00:26:25,109
Yes.
464
00:26:25,250 --> 00:26:27,446
When did my brother
decide on a divorce?
465
00:26:27,586 --> 00:26:29,851
He first considered
it about 2 years ago
466
00:26:29,988 --> 00:26:31,047
and then changed his mind.
467
00:26:31,190 --> 00:26:33,216
Then he came to
my office last week.
468
00:26:33,358 --> 00:26:34,358
Last week?!
469
00:26:34,393 --> 00:26:36,419
You had no inkling
of this, Miss Walden?
470
00:26:36,562 --> 00:26:38,690
He did phone me from Las Vegas,
471
00:26:38,831 --> 00:26:40,891
but I thought he
was up there to...
472
00:26:41,033 --> 00:26:44,936
No, he certainly didn't say
anything about a divorce.
473
00:26:45,070 --> 00:26:48,632
But I imagine the
grounds were infidelity.
474
00:26:48,774 --> 00:26:50,367
Does that answer your question?
475
00:26:50,509 --> 00:26:52,478
Yes. Thank you.
476
00:26:52,611 --> 00:26:54,079
But it poses another one.
477
00:26:54,213 --> 00:26:56,478
The name of the other man?
478
00:26:56,615 --> 00:26:58,709
I couldn't tell you.
479
00:26:58,851 --> 00:27:01,047
It may be common
knowledge around town,
480
00:27:01,186 --> 00:27:03,246
but I simply don't know.
481
00:27:09,761 --> 00:27:11,593
Mrs. Walden: Yes, I
understand, Mr. Hale.
482
00:27:11,730 --> 00:27:14,393
But why do the police
need to come here again?
483
00:27:15,467 --> 00:27:17,368
Oh, you mean, to the house!
484
00:27:22,841 --> 00:27:24,833
Well, I've certainly tried
to answer everything
485
00:27:24,977 --> 00:27:26,206
as best I know how.
486
00:27:31,250 --> 00:27:34,414
Of course, Mr. Hale, but there's
someone at the door, and...
487
00:27:34,553 --> 00:27:36,488
All right.
488
00:27:36,622 --> 00:27:39,251
Yes. I'll be here.
489
00:27:45,964 --> 00:27:48,763
Mrs. Walden? My
name is Perry Mason.
490
00:27:48,901 --> 00:27:51,063
Oh, yes. I heard
you were in town.
491
00:27:51,203 --> 00:27:53,638
May I come in?
492
00:27:59,845 --> 00:28:01,939
What is it you want, Mr. Mason?
493
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:03,309
Well, I wanted to meet you.
494
00:28:03,448 --> 00:28:04,728
I've heard a good
deal about you.
495
00:28:04,816 --> 00:28:06,148
I could imagine!
496
00:28:06,285 --> 00:28:08,652
They say lovely things
about me in Palmetto.
497
00:28:08,787 --> 00:28:11,313
That attitude may
well change now.
498
00:28:11,456 --> 00:28:14,187
Oh, do you really think
my bereavement will win
499
00:28:14,326 --> 00:28:15,326
that much sympathy?
500
00:28:15,360 --> 00:28:17,522
I couldn't say.
501
00:28:17,663 --> 00:28:21,361
But the richest woman in any
town usually commands respect.
502
00:28:21,500 --> 00:28:24,334
Oh, look... I... I'm
just all upset now.
503
00:28:24,469 --> 00:28:26,961
The district attorney
just phoned and...
504
00:28:27,105 --> 00:28:28,630
Well, if you're here
about Nelson Tarr,
505
00:28:28,774 --> 00:28:29,974
I mean if you're his lawyer...
506
00:28:40,619 --> 00:28:42,747
Now wait a minute. I've
got a right to be here.
507
00:28:42,888 --> 00:28:43,888
This is my uncle's house.
508
00:28:43,922 --> 00:28:46,551
Hello, Andrea.
509
00:28:46,692 --> 00:28:49,890
I just came over to see if
there was anything I could do.
510
00:28:50,028 --> 00:28:52,463
Mr. Mason, Roy Mooney.
511
00:28:52,598 --> 00:28:54,965
Roy Mooney?
512
00:28:55,100 --> 00:28:58,867
Why, yes. Melinda Tarr
was telling my secretary...
513
00:28:59,004 --> 00:29:00,028
Now, it's a lie!
514
00:29:00,172 --> 00:29:02,300
Whatever Melinda says
about Andrea and me.
515
00:29:02,441 --> 00:29:03,441
Why would she lie?
516
00:29:03,542 --> 00:29:04,976
Because she's jealous!
517
00:29:05,110 --> 00:29:08,376
For no good reason
at all! Just kid gossip!
518
00:29:08,513 --> 00:29:10,473
So don't go making
something out of my being here!
519
00:29:10,549 --> 00:29:12,827
I just came over to pick up a
jacket she was mending for me.
520
00:29:12,851 --> 00:29:14,149
That's all!
521
00:29:14,286 --> 00:29:16,380
I don't think you're helping
the situation any, Roy.
522
00:29:16,521 --> 00:29:19,719
Now, look... there's nothing
between Mrs. Walden and me.
523
00:29:19,858 --> 00:29:21,827
Nothing! Tell him, Andrea.
524
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:25,124
I doubt, Mr. Mason,
wants to be lied to.
525
00:29:25,264 --> 00:29:29,201
Mrs. Walden, my only concern
is in trying to help Nelson Tarr.
526
00:29:29,334 --> 00:29:30,614
- So...
- So now you've found out
527
00:29:30,736 --> 00:29:32,398
what you wanted to
find, isn't that right?
528
00:29:32,537 --> 00:29:34,802
Goodbye, Mr. Mason!
529
00:29:38,844 --> 00:29:40,540
No, listen to me! Wait!
530
00:29:40,679 --> 00:29:43,148
I only came in here to get...
531
00:29:43,282 --> 00:29:45,114
You... you let him
think we were...
532
00:29:45,250 --> 00:29:47,185
Why didn't you
tell him the truth?!
533
00:29:47,319 --> 00:29:49,686
Isn't this what you've been
wanting people to believe?
534
00:29:49,821 --> 00:29:53,690
No! Now they've got to
know the truth! Right?!
535
00:29:53,825 --> 00:29:55,384
What are you trying to do?
536
00:29:55,527 --> 00:29:58,087
The truth according
to Aunt Frances?
537
00:29:58,230 --> 00:30:01,098
I know what you've been doing,
and I know who put you up to it!
538
00:30:01,233 --> 00:30:04,431
Now, you live with
your lying gossip!
539
00:30:04,569 --> 00:30:08,506
Mr. Hale, my client has already
admitted punching Walden.
540
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:09,699
I know. I know.
541
00:30:09,841 --> 00:30:12,333
And in California a killing
with a fist is presumed
542
00:30:12,477 --> 00:30:15,379
to be manslaughter. But
here. Take a look at this.
543
00:30:16,682 --> 00:30:19,083
Coroner's report?
544
00:30:19,217 --> 00:30:21,550
Oh, the flowerpot.
545
00:30:21,687 --> 00:30:24,623
Well, if Walden knocked it
off the table when he fell...
546
00:30:24,756 --> 00:30:27,123
No, Mr. Mason.
The pot didn't fall.
547
00:30:27,259 --> 00:30:30,661
It was swung with
enormous and willful force.
548
00:30:30,796 --> 00:30:33,027
In other words, Martin
Walden was murdered.
549
00:30:33,165 --> 00:30:35,134
Well, I suspected
almost from the start
550
00:30:35,267 --> 00:30:39,034
that someone had gone into
the greenhouse after Nelson left.
551
00:30:39,171 --> 00:30:43,404
And, since certain people
would stand to profit greatly
552
00:30:43,542 --> 00:30:45,773
from the death of such
a wealthy man, well...
553
00:30:49,715 --> 00:30:52,275
Chris, come in here, please.
554
00:30:54,519 --> 00:30:56,613
This is Mr. Hearn.
555
00:30:56,755 --> 00:30:59,884
He's manager of the bank,
handled all of Walden's affairs.
556
00:31:00,025 --> 00:31:01,755
Now, only his local
investments, remember?
557
00:31:01,893 --> 00:31:03,589
He had holdings elsewhere?
558
00:31:03,729 --> 00:31:05,322
Well, so I was led to believe.
559
00:31:05,464 --> 00:31:07,763
For some time he'd been
selling off his properties in town
560
00:31:07,899 --> 00:31:09,993
to re-invest in Los
Angeles, so he said.
561
00:31:10,135 --> 00:31:12,400
Now, the district attorney's
asked me to investigate
562
00:31:12,537 --> 00:31:13,981
and I've found out there
were no such investments.
563
00:31:14,005 --> 00:31:16,839
Apparently Mr. Walden
died almost bankrupt.
564
00:31:16,975 --> 00:31:19,706
Perhaps his wife was
unaware of that fact.
565
00:31:19,845 --> 00:31:21,143
No, no.
566
00:31:21,279 --> 00:31:23,771
I think Andrea had a pretty
good idea of this all the time.
567
00:31:23,915 --> 00:31:26,077
Then a man with ambition
568
00:31:26,218 --> 00:31:28,744
who might've been
close to his wife...
569
00:31:28,887 --> 00:31:31,254
I see you've already heard
some of our gossip, Mr. Mason.
570
00:31:31,390 --> 00:31:33,950
Well, let's just say I think I
know the name of the man...
571
00:31:34,092 --> 00:31:36,152
So does Mr. Tarr.
572
00:31:36,294 --> 00:31:38,854
Isn't it true, that you were
Andrea Walden's lover
573
00:31:38,997 --> 00:31:40,659
before and after
she married Walden?
574
00:31:41,833 --> 00:31:43,699
No! That is not true!
575
00:31:43,835 --> 00:31:45,880
Well, I guess we'll just
have to prove that in court,
576
00:31:45,904 --> 00:31:47,532
won't we?
577
00:31:47,672 --> 00:31:51,473
Mr. Mason, we're charging your
client with first degree murder.
578
00:32:00,051 --> 00:32:02,316
Then what happened, Melinda?
579
00:32:02,454 --> 00:32:04,355
Well, I had to get
back the scooter!
580
00:32:04,489 --> 00:32:06,287
Jimmie needed it
for his deliveries.
581
00:32:06,425 --> 00:32:08,291
So I phoned Mr. Walden.
582
00:32:08,427 --> 00:32:10,089
And he said to
come out and get it.
583
00:32:10,228 --> 00:32:11,924
He'd leave it down
by the greenhouse.
584
00:32:12,063 --> 00:32:13,497
He agreed so easily?
585
00:32:13,632 --> 00:32:16,761
Well, I did have
to beg him a little.
586
00:32:16,902 --> 00:32:20,202
In my office didn't you tell me
you had to appeal to Mr. Walden
587
00:32:20,338 --> 00:32:22,830
on the basis of a
family friendship?
588
00:32:22,974 --> 00:32:27,207
Well, my father did buy
the radio station from him.
589
00:32:27,345 --> 00:32:29,746
That's what persuaded
him to release the scooter?
590
00:32:29,881 --> 00:32:32,646
Maybe not exactly, no.
591
00:32:32,784 --> 00:32:34,980
Well, what else
did you tell him?
592
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,715
Well, I... I mentioned
593
00:32:37,856 --> 00:32:41,156
that my father was also
a friend of Mrs. Walden.
594
00:32:41,293 --> 00:32:44,195
But didn't Mr. Walden
already know that?
595
00:32:44,329 --> 00:32:47,493
I thought he did, or I
wouldn't have said anything!
596
00:32:47,632 --> 00:32:50,625
But... but I guess he didn't.
597
00:32:50,769 --> 00:32:53,466
I didn't know it myself until...
598
00:32:55,106 --> 00:32:58,076
Oh, Daddy, I'm sorry!
599
00:32:58,210 --> 00:33:00,645
I'm sorry!
600
00:33:00,779 --> 00:33:04,773
Mr. Walden came to my office
in Las Vegas about 2 years ago
601
00:33:04,916 --> 00:33:06,350
and consulted about a divorce.
602
00:33:06,485 --> 00:33:08,750
Apparently there
was a reconciliation
603
00:33:08,887 --> 00:33:10,753
because he dropped the matter.
604
00:33:10,889 --> 00:33:13,757
Did you have any further
contact with him after that?
605
00:33:13,892 --> 00:33:15,326
Not professionally.
606
00:33:15,460 --> 00:33:18,555
I frequently ran into him
in the casinos, however.
607
00:33:18,697 --> 00:33:20,632
Do you mean he was gambling?
608
00:33:20,765 --> 00:33:22,393
Well, uh,
609
00:33:22,534 --> 00:33:25,129
losing would be a more
accurate description.
610
00:33:25,270 --> 00:33:27,899
I remember seeing him drop
611
00:33:28,039 --> 00:33:31,498
nearly $10,000 on
2 different occasions.
612
00:33:31,643 --> 00:33:36,104
A couple of weeks ago the
matter of the divorce came up again.
613
00:33:36,248 --> 00:33:37,841
And the night before the murder
614
00:33:37,983 --> 00:33:40,680
he called me and asked me
to drive over here to see him.
615
00:33:40,819 --> 00:33:42,185
For what purpose?
616
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,290
Well, he didn't specify
on the telephone.
617
00:33:45,423 --> 00:33:48,086
However, he had
on several occasions
618
00:33:48,226 --> 00:33:50,266
mentioned that if the divorce
were to come up again,
619
00:33:50,362 --> 00:33:51,694
he wanted me to represent him.
620
00:33:51,830 --> 00:33:55,597
So I assumed that that was
the legal problem he referred to.
621
00:33:55,734 --> 00:33:57,100
Did he ever indicate to you
622
00:33:57,235 --> 00:33:58,513
what would be his
grounds for divorce?
623
00:33:58,537 --> 00:34:01,666
Not in so many words.
624
00:34:01,806 --> 00:34:04,674
He did mention, however,
that his wife was having an affair
625
00:34:04,809 --> 00:34:07,369
with, as he put it,
626
00:34:07,512 --> 00:34:10,812
one of her old
Hollywood cronies.
627
00:34:10,949 --> 00:34:13,748
For the past 2 years, Mr. Walden
has disposed of holdings
628
00:34:13,885 --> 00:34:16,753
worth no less than a
quarter of a million dollars.
629
00:34:16,888 --> 00:34:21,451
So that on the day of his
death how much was left?
630
00:34:21,593 --> 00:34:22,856
Practically nothing.
631
00:34:22,994 --> 00:34:25,394
And as far as I've been able
to find out, everything is gone.
632
00:34:25,497 --> 00:34:27,125
Mr. Hearn, besides yourself,
633
00:34:27,265 --> 00:34:29,928
was there anyone else in
Palmetto who might have known
634
00:34:30,068 --> 00:34:32,765
the deceased was
approaching bankruptcy?
635
00:34:32,904 --> 00:34:35,396
Well, as far as I
know, just his wife.
636
00:34:37,709 --> 00:34:39,507
Mr. Mason?
637
00:34:42,147 --> 00:34:44,639
Mr. Hearn,
638
00:34:44,783 --> 00:34:47,150
was it through you
that Mrs. Walden
639
00:34:47,285 --> 00:34:48,810
learned of her
husband's insolvency?
640
00:34:48,954 --> 00:34:51,753
Well, I told her that Martin
had lost a great deal of money
641
00:34:51,890 --> 00:34:54,758
and if he didn't stop making
bad investments he'd go broke.
642
00:34:54,893 --> 00:34:57,920
Was concern for him your
only motive, Mr. Hearn?
643
00:34:58,063 --> 00:34:59,554
It was a sufficient one.
644
00:34:59,698 --> 00:35:01,360
Weren't you perhaps motivated
645
00:35:01,499 --> 00:35:04,333
by friendship and
concern for Mrs. Walden?
646
00:35:04,469 --> 00:35:06,802
Yes, I consider
Mrs. Walden a friend.
647
00:35:06,938 --> 00:35:08,816
But that's all she's ever
been regardless of any gossip
648
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:10,433
you might have picked
up along the way.
649
00:35:10,575 --> 00:35:12,237
If there was any
truth in such gossip,
650
00:35:12,377 --> 00:35:14,055
do you think for one minute
Mr. Walden would have
651
00:35:14,079 --> 00:35:15,389
continued to have
done business with me?
652
00:35:15,413 --> 00:35:18,850
Hmm. I'm sure I
don't know, Mr. Hearn.
653
00:35:18,984 --> 00:35:20,509
That's all.
654
00:35:23,054 --> 00:35:24,420
The witness may step down.
655
00:35:24,556 --> 00:35:27,788
I call Dr. Oldham to the stand.
656
00:35:27,926 --> 00:35:32,489
The cause of death was a blow
on the temple by a heavy object.
657
00:35:32,631 --> 00:35:35,123
From tiny fragments
imbedded in the wound
658
00:35:35,266 --> 00:35:39,362
I'm satisfied Martin Walden
was struck by a flowerpot.
659
00:35:39,504 --> 00:35:42,372
Thank you, Doctor. No
more questions. Your witness.
660
00:35:42,507 --> 00:35:45,602
From previous testimony, Doctor,
661
00:35:45,744 --> 00:35:47,508
the time of death
has been put forth
662
00:35:47,646 --> 00:35:49,581
as approximately 6:30pm.
663
00:35:49,714 --> 00:35:52,548
Now, couldn't you be
a little more definite?
664
00:35:52,684 --> 00:35:55,950
Fixing a time of death is
always a bit speculative.
665
00:35:56,087 --> 00:36:00,752
And in this case, our most
reliable factor of measurement...
666
00:36:00,892 --> 00:36:02,155
Body temperature...
667
00:36:02,293 --> 00:36:06,731
Has been confused by the
place where the murder occurred.
668
00:36:06,865 --> 00:36:09,801
The extreme temperature
in the hothouse
669
00:36:09,934 --> 00:36:13,063
probably inhibited the
rate of cooling of the body,
670
00:36:13,204 --> 00:36:15,036
so that, uh...
671
00:36:15,173 --> 00:36:17,733
What you're saying
is that in this case,
672
00:36:17,876 --> 00:36:19,606
the time of death
cannot be determined
673
00:36:19,744 --> 00:36:21,610
with any accuracy whatsoever?
674
00:36:21,746 --> 00:36:23,476
No. No, it really can't.
675
00:36:23,615 --> 00:36:25,641
And therefore, the murder
may have been committed
676
00:36:25,784 --> 00:36:27,218
an hour later than 6:30?
677
00:36:27,352 --> 00:36:31,756
Well, an hour later or
even an hour earlier.
678
00:36:32,824 --> 00:36:33,824
Earlier, Doctor?
679
00:36:33,958 --> 00:36:35,586
Well, there's really, uh...
680
00:36:35,727 --> 00:36:37,327
There's really no
way of pin-pointing it.
681
00:36:38,329 --> 00:36:39,729
Thank you very much.
682
00:36:39,864 --> 00:36:42,026
What's that mean?
683
00:36:42,167 --> 00:36:44,966
Maybe somebody finished Walden
off after I left the greenhouse?
684
00:36:45,103 --> 00:36:47,538
Or before.
685
00:36:47,672 --> 00:36:51,541
You mean he was already
dead when I got there?
686
00:36:51,676 --> 00:36:53,611
Don't you know?
687
00:36:53,745 --> 00:36:56,613
Look, I told you I had a
quarrel with him, and I hit him.
688
00:36:56,748 --> 00:36:59,240
Do you think I'd lie
about a thing like that?!
689
00:36:59,384 --> 00:37:02,286
You might, if you're
protecting someone.
690
00:37:03,988 --> 00:37:05,388
Are you?
691
00:37:05,523 --> 00:37:07,082
Yes, I knew Nelson Tarr
692
00:37:07,225 --> 00:37:09,558
when we both worked
together in radio years ago.
693
00:37:09,694 --> 00:37:12,027
Mrs. Walden, some years
ago, was an operation
694
00:37:12,163 --> 00:37:14,359
performed on you in a
Los Angeles hospital?
695
00:37:14,499 --> 00:37:16,468
Yes, for appendicitis.
696
00:37:16,601 --> 00:37:19,298
I hold here in my hand a
statement from that hospital
697
00:37:19,437 --> 00:37:22,771
showing the bill was paid
in full by the defendant.
698
00:37:22,907 --> 00:37:24,034
That was a loan.
699
00:37:24,175 --> 00:37:26,371
I repaid it as soon
as I got back to work.
700
00:37:26,511 --> 00:37:28,412
Is that the only
way you repaid him?
701
00:37:28,546 --> 00:37:30,742
I'm referring, Mrs. Walden,
702
00:37:30,882 --> 00:37:34,319
to the purchase by the defendant
of your husband's radio station.
703
00:37:34,452 --> 00:37:36,614
I told him it was for sale.
704
00:37:36,755 --> 00:37:38,383
Was your husband
aware of what you did?
705
00:37:38,523 --> 00:37:39,855
No.
706
00:37:39,991 --> 00:37:42,654
But Martin was anxious
to dispose of the property
707
00:37:42,794 --> 00:37:45,423
and I knew Nelson Tarr
had always wanted to own
708
00:37:45,563 --> 00:37:46,792
a small radio station.
709
00:37:46,931 --> 00:37:50,527
Did the defendant tell you
this before moving to Palmetto?
710
00:37:50,668 --> 00:37:52,603
It was in a letter.
711
00:37:52,737 --> 00:37:55,206
Oh, then you'd been
corresponding with him?
712
00:37:55,340 --> 00:37:56,817
Just Christmas
cards... Nothing more...
713
00:37:56,841 --> 00:37:59,242
With occasionally
a note enclosed.
714
00:37:59,377 --> 00:38:01,243
What were your relations
with the defendant
715
00:38:01,379 --> 00:38:02,677
after he came to Palmetto?
716
00:38:02,814 --> 00:38:05,079
We were friends, though
we seldom saw each other.
717
00:38:05,216 --> 00:38:08,812
Mrs. Walden, in a statement
given by you in my office,
718
00:38:08,953 --> 00:38:11,855
did you not admit to several
recent, clandestine meetings
719
00:38:11,990 --> 00:38:14,084
with the defendant at out
of the way roadhouses?
720
00:38:14,225 --> 00:38:16,285
Well, I...
721
00:38:16,427 --> 00:38:19,454
I met Nelson a few times.
722
00:38:19,597 --> 00:38:22,590
But it was only because I was
so upset about Martin. You see...
723
00:38:22,734 --> 00:38:24,894
And weren't you so concerned
about my discovering this,
724
00:38:24,969 --> 00:38:26,213
you tried to lead people believe
725
00:38:26,237 --> 00:38:28,206
it was Roy Mooney
you were involved with?!
726
00:38:28,339 --> 00:38:30,570
No! I mean, I didn't
want people finding out...
727
00:38:30,708 --> 00:38:31,786
And on the day of the murder,
728
00:38:31,810 --> 00:38:34,075
was it Nelson Tarr, the
man whom your husband
729
00:38:34,212 --> 00:38:35,692
accused you of
having an affair with?!
730
00:38:35,814 --> 00:38:37,578
But that wasn't true!
731
00:38:37,715 --> 00:38:40,583
Thank you, Mrs.
Walden. I believe that's all.
732
00:38:40,718 --> 00:38:42,152
Mr. Mason?
733
00:38:42,287 --> 00:38:45,052
Mrs. Walden, how did
you meet your husband?
734
00:38:45,190 --> 00:38:47,182
Well, he wanted to
publicize his nursery
735
00:38:47,325 --> 00:38:49,920
in the garden supplement
of the Sunday papers.
736
00:38:50,061 --> 00:38:53,088
The advertising agency
wanted a lay-out with a girl in it.
737
00:38:53,231 --> 00:38:55,666
I got the job and came up
here with a photographer.
738
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:58,065
Naturally, I met
Mr. Walden, and after that
739
00:38:58,203 --> 00:39:00,138
he came to Hollywood
several times to see me.
740
00:39:00,271 --> 00:39:03,969
After you were married did he
become jealous, possessive?
741
00:39:04,108 --> 00:39:05,406
Yes.
742
00:39:05,543 --> 00:39:10,379
And did he ever accuse you of
being involved with other men?
743
00:39:10,515 --> 00:39:12,643
- Yes.
- Nelson Tarr for one?
744
00:39:12,784 --> 00:39:14,616
It didn't matter.
It was any man.
745
00:39:14,752 --> 00:39:15,992
He'd pull names out of the air.
746
00:39:16,054 --> 00:39:19,081
Now following the quarrel
on the day of the murder,
747
00:39:19,224 --> 00:39:20,886
what did you do?
748
00:39:21,025 --> 00:39:22,926
- I left the house.
- And?
749
00:39:23,061 --> 00:39:25,530
And I took my
troubles to Nelson Tarr.
750
00:39:25,663 --> 00:39:27,427
According to previous testimony,
751
00:39:27,565 --> 00:39:30,501
the defendant left the radio
station to go to the bank
752
00:39:30,635 --> 00:39:31,898
and later, to the greenhouse.
753
00:39:32,036 --> 00:39:36,030
Now, how long did you
stay in that office of his?
754
00:39:36,174 --> 00:39:37,699
Until Mr. Tarr returned.
755
00:39:37,842 --> 00:39:39,504
You were alone all that time?
756
00:39:40,645 --> 00:39:42,671
Except for the other announcer.
757
00:39:42,814 --> 00:39:46,080
But the other announcer
was occupied in the studio,
758
00:39:46,217 --> 00:39:47,217
wasn't he, Mrs. Walden?
759
00:39:47,318 --> 00:39:48,684
Yes.
760
00:39:48,820 --> 00:39:51,949
Then actually, there is no
one who can verify your claim
761
00:39:52,090 --> 00:39:54,889
that you remained in
his office. Isn't that so?
762
00:39:55,026 --> 00:39:57,427
I suppose so.
763
00:39:57,562 --> 00:40:01,693
Mr. Mooney, you didn't appear
764
00:40:01,833 --> 00:40:06,271
until long after the body had
been discovered and taken away.
765
00:40:06,404 --> 00:40:09,738
But since you admit you
were in a nearby field,
766
00:40:09,874 --> 00:40:11,775
can you explain how it was
767
00:40:11,910 --> 00:40:15,005
that you didn't see or
hear all that activity?
768
00:40:15,146 --> 00:40:19,413
Sure. I, uh, wasn't
working in that field.
769
00:40:19,550 --> 00:40:20,984
It was dark already.
770
00:40:21,119 --> 00:40:24,920
I'd tuned on my portable radio.
I was listening to the fights.
771
00:40:25,056 --> 00:40:28,356
I suppose someone
can verify that.
772
00:40:28,493 --> 00:40:30,553
I was alone.
773
00:40:30,695 --> 00:40:33,164
Tell me, were you on friendly
terms with Mrs. Walden?
774
00:40:33,298 --> 00:40:35,824
I never had anything
to do with her.
775
00:40:35,967 --> 00:40:38,300
And anyone who
says I did is a liar.
776
00:40:38,436 --> 00:40:40,514
But didn't you have a
handkerchief in your possession
777
00:40:40,538 --> 00:40:42,234
the night before?
778
00:40:42,373 --> 00:40:45,343
A woman's handkerchief with a
monogrammed "A" in the corner?
779
00:40:45,476 --> 00:40:46,820
How did it come
into your possession?
780
00:40:46,844 --> 00:40:48,188
Did you borrow
it? Did you steal it?
781
00:40:48,212 --> 00:40:49,412
- Now look...
- And if so, why?
782
00:40:49,447 --> 00:40:50,574
Why, Mr. Mooney?
783
00:40:50,715 --> 00:40:52,775
- I don't know!
- It's a very simple question.
784
00:40:52,917 --> 00:40:55,716
Why did you flaunt Mrs.
Walden's handkerchief
785
00:40:55,853 --> 00:40:57,082
in front of Melinda Tarr?
786
00:40:57,221 --> 00:40:58,280
Objection, Your Honor!
787
00:40:58,423 --> 00:41:00,187
Counsel is
badgering the witness.
788
00:41:00,325 --> 00:41:02,487
He has asked 4 questions
without allowing the witness
789
00:41:02,627 --> 00:41:04,653
to complete any
one of his answers!
790
00:41:04,796 --> 00:41:07,925
I think you might slow
down a little, Mr. Mason.
791
00:41:08,066 --> 00:41:10,968
Very well, Your Honor.
792
00:41:11,102 --> 00:41:13,230
Mr. Mooney,
793
00:41:13,371 --> 00:41:15,363
would you please tell this court
794
00:41:15,506 --> 00:41:19,773
how you acquired a handkerchief
belonging to Mrs. Walden?
795
00:41:20,812 --> 00:41:22,110
It was given to me.
796
00:41:22,246 --> 00:41:23,714
By Mrs. Walden?
797
00:41:23,848 --> 00:41:28,047
No. My Aunt Frances.
798
00:41:34,625 --> 00:41:36,423
I don't know why
I didn't realize it,
799
00:41:36,561 --> 00:41:38,393
but that's exactly
what Roy was doing...
800
00:41:38,529 --> 00:41:41,966
Using me to start a
rumor about Andrea.
801
00:41:42,100 --> 00:41:43,568
It seems to have worked.
802
00:41:43,701 --> 00:41:46,034
But I didn't tell anybody.
803
00:41:46,170 --> 00:41:48,162
Well, it's obvious
it was Frances
804
00:41:48,306 --> 00:41:49,899
who was trying to
break up the marriage.
805
00:41:50,041 --> 00:41:54,445
But apparently the whole
stunt was unnecessary.
806
00:41:54,579 --> 00:41:55,579
Why?
807
00:41:55,713 --> 00:41:59,309
Because Mr. Walden was
already secretly intending
808
00:41:59,450 --> 00:42:00,577
to divorce Andrea.
809
00:42:00,718 --> 00:42:02,448
Excuse me.
810
00:42:04,622 --> 00:42:08,184
Go on, Della. I'm interested.
811
00:42:08,326 --> 00:42:12,525
Well, isn't that the
irony of the whole thing?
812
00:42:12,663 --> 00:42:16,122
The fact that both of them
were plotting independently
813
00:42:16,267 --> 00:42:18,395
of each other for
the same result?
814
00:42:18,536 --> 00:42:20,971
It's for you, Mr. Mason.
Las Vegas calling.
815
00:42:24,642 --> 00:42:26,668
Hello.
816
00:42:26,811 --> 00:42:28,746
Yes, Paul. What have you got?
817
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:30,712
Well, not too
much so far, Perry.
818
00:42:30,848 --> 00:42:32,840
I did find out that
Walden's a bad loser.
819
00:42:32,984 --> 00:42:34,384
He cries to the
bartenders a lot.
820
00:42:34,519 --> 00:42:36,397
But none of them ever remember
seeing him with a woman.
821
00:42:36,421 --> 00:42:37,946
Wait a minute.
822
00:42:45,763 --> 00:42:47,356
OK. Now, I can hear you.
823
00:42:47,498 --> 00:42:49,218
You may be looking
for the wrong type, Paul.
824
00:42:49,300 --> 00:42:51,895
I'm sending you pictures
of Frances Walden.
825
00:42:52,036 --> 00:42:53,470
His sister?!
826
00:42:53,604 --> 00:42:55,630
She told me he phoned
her from there once.
827
00:42:55,773 --> 00:42:58,902
I want to know if he
called her other times.
828
00:42:59,043 --> 00:43:02,138
What was the name?
829
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:05,011
Well, you'd better check
that out at the same time.
830
00:43:05,149 --> 00:43:06,640
But hurry, Paul.
831
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:12,750
I watched my brother
become nervous, dispirited,
832
00:43:12,890 --> 00:43:14,688
on the verge of a breakdown.
833
00:43:14,826 --> 00:43:16,761
The cause of it
all was his wife!
834
00:43:16,894 --> 00:43:19,762
That's why he gambled
his money away! That little...
835
00:43:19,897 --> 00:43:22,389
Well, anyway,
836
00:43:22,533 --> 00:43:24,900
I just knew that the marriage
had to end one way or another!
837
00:43:25,036 --> 00:43:27,904
But why was it necessary
to fabricate an incident if,
838
00:43:28,039 --> 00:43:29,132
as you testified,
839
00:43:29,273 --> 00:43:31,572
there were actual
grounds already existing?
840
00:43:31,709 --> 00:43:35,305
Somehow, she was
able to convince Martin
841
00:43:35,446 --> 00:43:36,971
that it was all
completely innocent.
842
00:43:37,115 --> 00:43:40,608
But by that time, it appears
your plan was no longer needed
843
00:43:40,751 --> 00:43:42,845
because Martin
Walden had decided
844
00:43:42,987 --> 00:43:45,149
to go on with the
divorce for other reasons.
845
00:43:45,289 --> 00:43:48,384
Late that afternoon, I
overheard Martin accuse Andrea
846
00:43:48,526 --> 00:43:50,586
of having carried on an
affair with the defendant
847
00:43:50,728 --> 00:43:52,720
over a period of years.
848
00:43:52,864 --> 00:43:56,426
He said that she had arranged
for him to buy the station
849
00:43:56,567 --> 00:43:57,933
so he could be near her.
850
00:43:58,069 --> 00:43:59,765
And that not only was
he finished with her
851
00:43:59,904 --> 00:44:02,135
but that he would break
her lover financially.
852
00:44:02,273 --> 00:44:03,798
Thank you, Miss Walden.
853
00:44:03,941 --> 00:44:06,274
Your witness, Counselor.
854
00:44:06,410 --> 00:44:08,106
Counselor?
855
00:44:10,114 --> 00:44:14,176
Shortly after the murder
was committed, Miss Walden,
856
00:44:14,318 --> 00:44:16,947
did you not categorically deny
857
00:44:17,088 --> 00:44:20,820
knowing with whom Mrs. Walden
was accused of consorting?
858
00:44:20,958 --> 00:44:22,790
I told you I didn't know.
859
00:44:22,927 --> 00:44:25,897
And yet, directly
thereafter... Scandal or not...
860
00:44:26,030 --> 00:44:29,330
You went to the district
attorney and named Nelson Tarr.
861
00:44:29,467 --> 00:44:31,231
By that time I began to suspect
862
00:44:31,369 --> 00:44:33,167
that my brother's death
was not manslaughter
863
00:44:33,304 --> 00:44:34,567
but deliberate murder.
864
00:44:34,705 --> 00:44:36,071
What planted this suspicion?
865
00:44:36,207 --> 00:44:40,144
Well, when I heard
from Mr. Pinter
866
00:44:40,278 --> 00:44:42,406
that Martin was
going to get a divorce,
867
00:44:42,547 --> 00:44:46,348
I knew that Andrea could be of
no financial help to Nelson Tarr
868
00:44:46,484 --> 00:44:49,386
unless Martin would die
before the divorce went through.
869
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:51,955
Then you knew that your
brother had sold Nelson's note
870
00:44:52,089 --> 00:44:53,648
on the radio
station to the bank?
871
00:44:53,791 --> 00:44:55,316
Certainly. He told me that.
872
00:44:55,459 --> 00:44:58,623
Did you also know that
he was gambling regularly?
873
00:44:58,763 --> 00:45:00,288
No. No, I didn't.
874
00:45:00,431 --> 00:45:04,527
You never accompanied him on
any of those trips to Las Vegas?
875
00:45:04,669 --> 00:45:07,298
As far as I know, those trips
were to the High Sierras...
876
00:45:07,438 --> 00:45:08,462
Fishing trips.
877
00:45:08,606 --> 00:45:10,268
Now just a moment, Miss Walden.
878
00:45:10,408 --> 00:45:12,502
When I talked to you on
the day after the murder,
879
00:45:12,643 --> 00:45:16,136
you mentioned that your brother
had phoned you from Las Vegas.
880
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:18,340
Yes, Mr. Mason,
you're quite right.
881
00:45:18,482 --> 00:45:20,542
I did not think it
significant at the time
882
00:45:20,685 --> 00:45:22,347
that he called from Las Vegas.
883
00:45:22,486 --> 00:45:24,648
There's bass fishing
there, I believe.
884
00:45:24,789 --> 00:45:27,190
Miss Walden, how many times
885
00:45:27,325 --> 00:45:29,760
did you phone your
brother in Las Vegas?
886
00:45:29,894 --> 00:45:32,762
Never. Oh, no, I'm sorry.
887
00:45:32,897 --> 00:45:37,267
That one time he called me,
I was on duty at the hospital.
888
00:45:37,401 --> 00:45:38,881
He left a number,
and I called back...
889
00:45:39,003 --> 00:45:42,132
If that's what you want
to think of as my calling.
890
00:45:44,408 --> 00:45:46,741
One moment, please.
891
00:45:57,455 --> 00:46:02,655
Miss Walden, who
is Edward Montrose?
892
00:46:02,793 --> 00:46:04,489
I haven't the slightest idea.
893
00:46:04,629 --> 00:46:06,621
You didn't know that
your brother was registered
894
00:46:06,764 --> 00:46:08,027
under that name at the ranch
895
00:46:08,165 --> 00:46:09,485
where he was
staying in Las Vegas?
896
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:13,298
Certainly not. I called the
number and Martin answered.
897
00:46:13,437 --> 00:46:14,781
I can think of no reason
why he should want
898
00:46:14,805 --> 00:46:15,805
to use a different name.
899
00:46:15,940 --> 00:46:17,966
Then let me suggest one.
900
00:46:18,109 --> 00:46:21,011
2 years ago your brother
considered divorcing his wife
901
00:46:21,145 --> 00:46:22,408
for an alleged indiscretion.
902
00:46:22,546 --> 00:46:25,641
He didn't proceed because
he had no proof of the affair.
903
00:46:25,783 --> 00:46:27,143
Probably because
it never happened.
904
00:46:27,251 --> 00:46:29,015
In any case, he
realized a divorce
905
00:46:29,153 --> 00:46:30,587
would mean paying alimony.
906
00:46:30,721 --> 00:46:33,281
And very likely a large
alimony since his wife
907
00:46:33,424 --> 00:46:35,518
had given up a career
of her own to marry him.
908
00:46:35,660 --> 00:46:39,995
Your Honor, I find all this
theorizing extremely irrelevant.
909
00:46:40,131 --> 00:46:44,660
I'm not so certain it is,
Mr. Hale. Proceed, Mr. Mason.
910
00:46:44,802 --> 00:46:46,327
To escape paying alimony,
911
00:46:46,470 --> 00:46:48,837
I submit Martin Walden
conceived a plan
912
00:46:48,973 --> 00:46:50,908
of converting his
holdings into cash
913
00:46:51,042 --> 00:46:53,082
and then putting that
money out of his wife's reach.
914
00:46:53,210 --> 00:46:55,406
Your Honor, this is
sheer speculation!
915
00:46:55,546 --> 00:46:56,546
May it please the court,
916
00:46:56,681 --> 00:46:58,358
I am prepared to
introduce evidence proving
917
00:46:58,382 --> 00:47:00,112
that the telephone
number this woman called
918
00:47:00,251 --> 00:47:02,811
was a room occupied by a man
919
00:47:02,953 --> 00:47:04,683
who registered as
Edward Montrose
920
00:47:04,822 --> 00:47:06,518
but who was identified
from photographs
921
00:47:06,657 --> 00:47:08,956
as her deceased brother!
922
00:47:09,093 --> 00:47:10,186
All right, Your Honor...
923
00:47:10,328 --> 00:47:12,888
Furthermore, I can show
that recent cash purchases
924
00:47:13,030 --> 00:47:16,330
of securities have been
made, in several different cities,
925
00:47:16,467 --> 00:47:19,403
by a man who called
himself Edward Montrose.
926
00:47:20,571 --> 00:47:22,767
Go ahead, Mr. Mason.
927
00:47:24,408 --> 00:47:27,503
Now, Miss Walden,
928
00:47:27,645 --> 00:47:31,309
I submit that this whole
plan was no secret to you.
929
00:47:31,449 --> 00:47:32,659
And when you went
to the greenhouse
930
00:47:32,683 --> 00:47:34,845
and saw your brother
lying there apparently dead,
931
00:47:34,985 --> 00:47:38,888
you decided all that money
he'd hidden under another identity
932
00:47:39,023 --> 00:47:41,015
- could be yours.
- No!
933
00:47:41,158 --> 00:47:44,424
Realizing then that your
brother was still alive,
934
00:47:44,562 --> 00:47:45,882
didn't you take
that flowerpot...
935
00:47:45,930 --> 00:47:46,989
No! That's a lie!
936
00:47:47,131 --> 00:47:50,431
I didn't know what he
did with the money until...
937
00:47:50,568 --> 00:47:52,036
Until what, Miss Walden?
938
00:47:53,537 --> 00:47:55,733
Until after he was
dead. I mean...
939
00:47:55,873 --> 00:47:57,501
Until someone told
you about the money,
940
00:47:57,641 --> 00:47:58,985
isn't that what you
were going to say?
941
00:47:59,009 --> 00:48:00,068
No.
942
00:48:00,211 --> 00:48:02,011
Because of course someone
else must have known
943
00:48:02,146 --> 00:48:04,081
about your brother's
double identity.
944
00:48:04,215 --> 00:48:05,843
Someone must have
helped Edward Montrose
945
00:48:05,983 --> 00:48:07,110
with his new investments.
946
00:48:07,251 --> 00:48:09,914
I don't know who it was.
947
00:48:10,054 --> 00:48:11,955
Oh, yes, you do, Miss Walden!
948
00:48:12,089 --> 00:48:14,684
You're only keeping quiet
because you still hope
949
00:48:14,825 --> 00:48:16,760
to get some of that
money. Isn't that right?
950
00:48:16,894 --> 00:48:19,625
Well, she shouldn't
get it! She shouldn't...
951
00:48:19,764 --> 00:48:21,908
I doubt if anyone could have
counted on getting that money
952
00:48:21,932 --> 00:48:22,991
after your brother's death
953
00:48:23,134 --> 00:48:25,694
without Edward Montrose's
power of attorney.
954
00:48:25,836 --> 00:48:28,965
Miss Walden, I'm sure
the court will explain
955
00:48:29,106 --> 00:48:31,041
that you can only make
yourself an accomplice
956
00:48:31,175 --> 00:48:32,302
by remaining silent
957
00:48:32,443 --> 00:48:36,608
or a perjurer by
continuing to lie!
958
00:48:36,747 --> 00:48:38,375
It was Mr. Pinter.
959
00:48:38,516 --> 00:48:42,954
Mr. Pinter told
Martin how to do that,
960
00:48:43,087 --> 00:48:45,852
how to hide his money
in new investments.
961
00:48:45,990 --> 00:48:48,459
He... he handled all that.
962
00:48:48,592 --> 00:48:51,152
I knew that Martin
was too stingy
963
00:48:51,295 --> 00:48:54,356
to ever lose money gambling.
964
00:48:54,498 --> 00:48:57,332
When I guessed what Mr. Pinter
had done, I accused him of it.
965
00:48:57,468 --> 00:48:59,460
Until then, I...
966
00:48:59,603 --> 00:49:03,472
I had no idea that he was
the one who killed Martin!
967
00:49:07,445 --> 00:49:09,744
Oh, Daddy!
968
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:13,783
It's all right, baby. It's
all right now. Don't cry.
969
00:49:13,918 --> 00:49:15,682
Melinda, you go with Della.
970
00:49:15,820 --> 00:49:17,413
I'll even buy you a malt.
971
00:49:17,555 --> 00:49:19,581
Your father and I will
join you in a few minutes.
972
00:49:24,195 --> 00:49:26,824
Daddy, should I invite Andrea?
973
00:49:26,964 --> 00:49:28,660
Later, maybe.
974
00:49:28,799 --> 00:49:31,098
This one's just for you and me.
