1
00:00:59,926 --> 00:01:02,554
Extra! Extra!
Read all about it!
2
00:01:02,629 --> 00:01:05,530
Blonde model murdered!
Slayer's still at large! Read all about it!
3
00:01:05,598 --> 00:01:07,862
- Hey, boy!
- Yes, sir.
4
00:01:12,305 --> 00:01:14,739
Thanks.
Extra! Read all about it!
5
00:01:14,808 --> 00:01:17,299
- [Man] If you know what's good for you,
you'll come clean.
- When did you find the body?
6
00:01:17,377 --> 00:01:19,311
- Why'd you do it?
- I didn't do it.
7
00:01:19,379 --> 00:01:21,347
- You've said that before.
- All right, and I'll say it again.
8
00:01:21,414 --> 00:01:24,508
- I can keep it up as long as you can.
- Listen, brother.
9
00:01:24,584 --> 00:01:28,145
You don't seem to get the idea at all.
You're gonna fry for this.
10
00:01:28,221 --> 00:01:32,555
- It means the hot spot.
- It does if you can pin it on me,
but I don't think you can.
11
00:01:32,625 --> 00:01:36,561
I think we can.
12
00:01:36,629 --> 00:01:39,530
You're a pretty tough guy, aren't you,
with a crowd around?
13
00:01:39,599 --> 00:01:42,193
- Why don't you come out in the open
so I can see you?
- Never mind that.
14
00:01:42,268 --> 00:01:46,534
- When did you first meet Vicky Lynn?
- [Sighs]
15
00:01:46,606 --> 00:01:49,632
Say, listen, fellas. Why... Why don't you
let me make a record of it...
16
00:01:49,709 --> 00:01:52,974
then you can play it over
to yourselves as often as you like.
17
00:01:55,915 --> 00:01:57,849
Go ahead, Frankie,
just once more.
18
00:01:57,917 --> 00:02:01,876
Pick it up when you met her for the first time
in that lunchroom on 8th Avenue.
19
00:02:01,955 --> 00:02:04,253
- Okay, MacDonald. For you, I'll do it.
- Thanks.
20
00:02:04,324 --> 00:02:06,588
I'd been to the fights
with a couple of friends of mine.
21
00:02:06,659 --> 00:02:08,650
We'd just dropped in
for a cup of coffee, and...
22
00:02:08,728 --> 00:02:11,663
- And hotcakes and coffee.
- Is that all?
23
00:02:11,731 --> 00:02:14,529
No, but the rest of it
isn't on the menu.
24
00:02:14,601 --> 00:02:16,660
You couldn't afford it
if it was.
25
00:02:16,736 --> 00:02:19,330
- Say, you know something?
- Yes.
26
00:02:19,405 --> 00:02:22,374
I'm wasting my time
being just an ordinary waitress.
27
00:02:23,710 --> 00:02:25,974
[Chuckles]
Frankie, you're losing your grip.
28
00:02:26,045 --> 00:02:29,537
I bet I can take that girl... inside of six months,
put her on top of the ladder.
29
00:02:29,616 --> 00:02:33,347
What ladder? You've promoted
everything from prize-fighters to fan dancers...
30
00:02:33,419 --> 00:02:36,286
but I doubt if even you, maestro,
could make a lady out of a hash slinger.
31
00:02:36,356 --> 00:02:40,349
In the right clothes, the right places with the
right people, she could get by anywhere.
32
00:02:40,426 --> 00:02:43,418
It might be fun trying,
even if it didn't work.
33
00:02:43,496 --> 00:02:46,226
Here she comes now, Frankie.
Pour on the charm.
34
00:02:49,469 --> 00:02:52,063
How would you like to go to
the El Chico Club tomorrow night?
35
00:02:52,138 --> 00:02:55,039
- This is where I came in.
- I'm not kidding.
36
00:02:55,108 --> 00:02:58,669
I'll put you in a sable wrap and introduce
you to caf� society. What do you say?
37
00:02:58,745 --> 00:03:00,838
I say you're out
of your mind.
38
00:03:00,914 --> 00:03:04,213
~ [Band]
39
00:03:04,284 --> 00:03:08,687
Eleanor, I wish you had seen me
as Romeo. I was magnificent.
40
00:03:08,755 --> 00:03:13,192
- That was a long time ago, wasn't it?
- How old are you, anyhow?
41
00:03:13,259 --> 00:03:17,389
That, my dear Lady Handel, is a secret
that I keep even from my own mother.
42
00:03:17,463 --> 00:03:21,194
- Ah.
- Who is that beautiful girl?
43
00:03:23,970 --> 00:03:25,961
- Good evening, Mr. Christopher.
- Good evening.
44
00:03:26,039 --> 00:03:29,065
I have your table
for you.
45
00:03:37,984 --> 00:03:41,420
I say, I'm in luck. It just happens
I know the man that's with her.
46
00:03:41,487 --> 00:03:43,921
- Who is he?
- Frankie Christopher, a sports promoter.
47
00:03:43,990 --> 00:03:46,788
Prizefights, hockey,
ice carnivals and girls.
48
00:03:46,859 --> 00:03:49,692
Mostly girls.
Excuse me.
49
00:03:49,762 --> 00:03:53,425
- Wine with the dinner and coffee later.
- Very good, sir.
50
00:03:53,499 --> 00:03:55,763
- Hello, Christopher.
- Hello, Ray.
51
00:03:55,835 --> 00:03:59,032
Miss Lynn, I'd like you to meet
the famous actor, Robin Ray.
52
00:03:59,105 --> 00:04:02,097
Actor? Really?
How do you do?
53
00:04:02,175 --> 00:04:06,544
Listen, you little hash slinger, don't give me
any of that "lady" stuff, or I'll bite you.
54
00:04:06,613 --> 00:04:10,572
- Am I overdoing it?
- Yes, but not bad.
55
00:04:13,620 --> 00:04:16,248
Hello, Christopher.
How are things?
56
00:04:16,322 --> 00:04:18,381
- How do you think?
- I think yes.
57
00:04:18,458 --> 00:04:20,392
Miss Lynn, I'd like you to know Larry Evans,
the columnist.
58
00:04:20,460 --> 00:04:24,123
- Larry, this is Miss Vicky Lynn.
- How do you do, Mr. Evans?
59
00:04:24,197 --> 00:04:26,859
- I've read much about you.
- Indeed. Flattering, I hope.
60
00:04:26,933 --> 00:04:30,562
Naturally. Most of it
appeared in your own column.
61
00:04:30,637 --> 00:04:33,128
- Ouch.
- Keep it up, Vicky. Swell.
62
00:04:33,206 --> 00:04:35,902
Yeah. That last line wasn't in the script.
Well, sit down, boys.
63
00:04:35,975 --> 00:04:39,638
Sit down. Lynn? Lynn?
Of the Baltimore Lynns, by any chance?
64
00:04:39,712 --> 00:04:43,375
No, no. My family came from Boston,
the home of the bean, you know?
65
00:04:43,449 --> 00:04:45,781
Is that so? Do tell.
66
00:04:45,852 --> 00:04:49,083
- May I have the next mazurka?
- Oh, I'd simply love it.
67
00:04:49,155 --> 00:04:51,089
- Oh, no, you don't.
- Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
68
00:04:51,157 --> 00:04:54,490
I didn't bring Miss Lynn for you two chiselers
to cut in. Come on, boys. Fight over her.
69
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,120
If she dances with anybody,
it's going to be with me.
70
00:04:57,196 --> 00:05:00,791
Let us settle this dispute by claiming the
ancient privilege of age before beauty.
71
00:05:00,867 --> 00:05:03,802
- Go scuttle yourself. I saw her first.
- You can't talk to me like that.
72
00:05:03,870 --> 00:05:07,203
- Gentlemen, gentlemen.
- Beg your pardon.
Lady Handel presents her compliments...
73
00:05:07,273 --> 00:05:10,572
and would like to have Mr. Christopher
and his party have supper with her.
74
00:05:10,643 --> 00:05:13,771
Why, we'd be delighted.
75
00:05:13,846 --> 00:05:16,679
Well, you're in, Vicky.
Just pick up your feet and feel your way.
76
00:05:16,749 --> 00:05:19,809
- [Clears Throat]
- Come on, Vicky.
77
00:05:23,222 --> 00:05:26,783
All right, boys.
Let's go.
78
00:05:26,859 --> 00:05:30,454
May I present Miss Lynn
and Mr. Christopher? Lady Handel.
79
00:05:30,530 --> 00:05:32,589
- How do you do, Miss Lynn?
- How do you do?
80
00:05:32,665 --> 00:05:34,633
- And Mr. Christopher.
- How do you do?
81
00:05:34,701 --> 00:05:36,635
- Won't you be seated?
- Thank you.
82
00:05:36,703 --> 00:05:39,171
Robin, you sit here.
83
00:05:50,416 --> 00:05:53,943
You haven't put a price
on yourself yet.
84
00:05:55,254 --> 00:05:57,279
[Horns Honking,
Distant]
85
00:05:57,357 --> 00:06:00,884
Well, I'll do everything I can: Give you a plug
in the column every once in a while.
86
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,053
You might do worse than to have
your name linked with mine.
87
00:06:03,129 --> 00:06:05,689
I don't see how.
88
00:06:09,836 --> 00:06:12,634
Good evening, Harry.
May I please have my key?
89
00:06:18,511 --> 00:06:23,448
Get that key for Miss Lynn,
and be quick about it.
90
00:06:26,586 --> 00:06:29,680
Well, uh,
good night, gentlemen.
91
00:06:29,756 --> 00:06:33,157
It's been wonderful,
and I'm terribly grateful to you all.
92
00:06:33,226 --> 00:06:35,990
- Well, can't we go up for a moment?
- Oh, I'm afraid not.
93
00:06:36,062 --> 00:06:39,554
It's pretty late,
and we might disturb my sister.
94
00:06:42,935 --> 00:06:45,028
- Good night.
- Good night.
- Good night.
95
00:06:45,104 --> 00:06:47,538
- Good night.
- I'll be around for you first thing in the morning.
96
00:06:47,607 --> 00:06:50,440
I'll be waiting
for you.
97
00:06:50,510 --> 00:06:53,809
- "Sister."
- I hate girls with sisters.
98
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,178
- What are you beefing about?
Have you seen her yet?
- No. Have you?
99
00:06:56,249 --> 00:06:58,274
- No.
- Then we're neck and neck.
100
00:06:58,351 --> 00:07:01,343
They day I find you and I are neck and neck,
I'll know I'm running down.
101
00:07:04,390 --> 00:07:07,291
What's the matter with you,
gettin' so sore? She ain't nobody.
102
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:11,160
She will be, and when she is, you'll be lucky
if you're in the same neighborhood.
103
00:07:14,233 --> 00:07:18,226
- What made you so sure you
could make something of her?
- That's my business: Promotion.
104
00:07:18,304 --> 00:07:21,102
She had looks, youth, a good figure.
What more do you want?
105
00:07:21,174 --> 00:07:24,871
- I'm asking the questions.
- Then hurry up. I've got
an appointment at the Garden.
106
00:07:26,546 --> 00:07:29,413
- Okay, MacDonald.
- Now, listen, Frankie.
107
00:07:29,482 --> 00:07:32,042
There's been a murder committed, and we're
just trying to get to the bottom of things.
108
00:07:32,118 --> 00:07:34,416
That's all.
109
00:07:34,487 --> 00:07:37,422
- [Man] What's your name?
- [Woman]Jill Lynn.
110
00:07:37,490 --> 00:07:39,981
- [Man] Any initials?
- No. Just plain "Jill."
111
00:07:40,059 --> 00:07:43,859
- What relation are you to the dead girl?
- She was my sister.
112
00:07:43,930 --> 00:07:46,421
How long have you been living
in New York?
113
00:07:46,499 --> 00:07:49,366
Well, Vicky had been here
a couple of years, and after Mom died...
114
00:07:49,435 --> 00:07:52,996
I came on from Chicago
to set up housekeeping with her.
115
00:07:53,072 --> 00:07:56,735
Even though we shared the apartment,
I saw very little of her the last few weeks.
116
00:07:56,809 --> 00:08:02,577
- Why was that?
- Well, you see, I have a position
as a stenographer downtown...
117
00:08:02,648 --> 00:08:04,843
and Vicky was working
on a night shift in a restaurant.
118
00:08:04,917 --> 00:08:09,945
- We just kept different hours.
- What do you know about
this man Frankie Christopher?
119
00:08:10,022 --> 00:08:13,150
Nothing, except he was the one
who first gave Vicky those grand ideas...
120
00:08:13,226 --> 00:08:15,285
about
becoming a celebrity.
121
00:08:15,361 --> 00:08:17,886
When did this start?
122
00:08:17,964 --> 00:08:23,630
The first time I knew it was serious was the night
she came home from a nightclub.
123
00:08:23,703 --> 00:08:28,231
It was very late, and I
had fallen asleep on the couch.
124
00:08:28,307 --> 00:08:30,537
[Door Unlatching]
125
00:08:34,947 --> 00:08:39,941
Jill. Jill, what do you think?
I've done it. I'm a success.
126
00:08:40,019 --> 00:08:43,113
- What is all this?
- You know what happened?
127
00:08:43,189 --> 00:08:45,521
Lady Handel invited me
over to her table.
128
00:08:45,591 --> 00:08:48,719
I met all the big shots, danced
with all the good-looking young men.
129
00:08:48,794 --> 00:08:51,126
I've just got dozens
and dozens of invitations.
130
00:08:51,197 --> 00:08:53,893
Invitations to do what?
131
00:08:53,966 --> 00:08:57,697
- I'm never going back to
that rotten old restaurant job.
- What?
132
00:08:57,770 --> 00:09:01,297
Why should I? Now I realize
I've been wasting my time.
133
00:09:01,374 --> 00:09:06,004
- I can be somebody.
- Vicky, you're not serious
about giving up your job?
134
00:09:06,078 --> 00:09:09,878
Of course. Why should I go on slinging hash
when I can sling other things?
135
00:09:09,949 --> 00:09:12,315
Vicky Lynn, have you gone
right out of your mind?
136
00:09:12,385 --> 00:09:15,479
No, I haven't. I've just come
to my senses. That's all.
137
00:09:15,555 --> 00:09:18,490
Frankie Christopher thinks I have
a great career before me.
138
00:09:18,558 --> 00:09:22,961
- Who's Frankie Christopher?
- Oh, Jill, everyone knows Frankie Christopher.
139
00:09:23,029 --> 00:09:25,862
- He's a famous sports promoter.
- What does he want you to do?
140
00:09:25,932 --> 00:09:28,662
Roller-skate or go over Niagara Falls
in a barrel?
141
00:09:28,734 --> 00:09:33,103
Jill, I already have an offer to pose for
a magazine cover and a cigarette ad...
142
00:09:33,172 --> 00:09:37,905
Vicky, wait a minute. When Mom died,
we promised we'd look out for each other.
143
00:09:37,977 --> 00:09:41,174
Don't you think you're making
a fool of yourself?
144
00:09:41,247 --> 00:09:44,910
- What do you mean?
- This Frankie Christopher.
145
00:09:44,984 --> 00:09:47,475
People like that, what have they got
to do with people like us?
146
00:09:47,553 --> 00:09:50,784
- Jill, they're going to help me.
- In what way?
147
00:09:50,856 --> 00:09:53,256
They're gonna
glamorize me.
148
00:09:53,326 --> 00:09:56,818
They may have started this thing
as a gag, but after taking one look...
149
00:09:56,896 --> 00:09:59,091
at those million-dollar
debutantes tonight...
150
00:09:59,165 --> 00:10:02,566
I realized I can give them cards in spades
and still come out on top.
151
00:10:02,635 --> 00:10:06,765
Vicky, you'll never come out
on top by any shortcut.
152
00:10:06,839 --> 00:10:11,173
One week, your face is on the cover
of a magazine; the next, it's in the ash can.
153
00:10:11,243 --> 00:10:16,875
I know I sound stuffy. Gee,
I like a good time as well as the next.
154
00:10:16,949 --> 00:10:22,512
Jill, you're terribly sweet,
but, well, we are different.
155
00:10:22,588 --> 00:10:25,421
I know the things I want,
and I know how to get them.
156
00:10:25,491 --> 00:10:28,654
So stop worrying
about me, huh?
157
00:10:28,728 --> 00:10:30,787
Okay.
158
00:10:30,863 --> 00:10:34,663
What you need now is sleep. If you lose
your looks, you've lost your bankroll.
159
00:10:34,734 --> 00:10:36,964
Good night.
160
00:10:41,374 --> 00:10:43,865
[Man] When was the first time
you met Frankie Christopher?
161
00:10:43,943 --> 00:10:47,470
It was the following morning.
I was cooking breakfast...
162
00:10:50,916 --> 00:10:53,282
[Knocking]
163
00:10:57,757 --> 00:11:01,523
- Vicky, I think he's here.
- [Vicky] Okay. I'm putting on a dress.
164
00:11:09,268 --> 00:11:11,634
- Is Miss Lynn in?
- Which Miss Lynn?
165
00:11:11,704 --> 00:11:14,366
The glamour girl, or just the plain,
ordinary garden variety?
166
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,409
- Ohh, you're her sister.
- You're quick.
167
00:11:17,476 --> 00:11:20,707
- I'm Frankie Christopher.
- That's what I was afraid of.
168
00:11:20,780 --> 00:11:23,681
- May I come in?
- Sure.
169
00:11:27,753 --> 00:11:30,244
Course, this is just a dump,
but if you can find a place to sit down...
170
00:11:30,322 --> 00:11:32,586
Say, why all the cracks?
You don't know anything about me yet.
171
00:11:32,658 --> 00:11:34,785
I don't know anything about art,
but I know what I like.
172
00:11:34,860 --> 00:11:37,658
What's the idea of handing Vicky this line
about making her a big shot?
173
00:11:37,730 --> 00:11:40,563
That's no line. I believe it sincerely.
After all, that's my business...
174
00:11:40,633 --> 00:11:42,726
discovering talent
and trying to put it across.
175
00:11:42,802 --> 00:11:45,771
Here. Take a look
at that.
176
00:11:45,838 --> 00:11:50,400
Hmm. Feeding time
at the zoo.
177
00:11:50,476 --> 00:11:53,377
- Where are you?
- I don't believe in having my picture taken.
178
00:11:53,446 --> 00:11:57,746
That's for those I'm trying to put across.
I just stay in the background, where I belong.
179
00:11:57,817 --> 00:12:01,412
- Modest, aren't you?
- Not particularly.
180
00:12:01,487 --> 00:12:03,978
It's just a superstition,
that's all.
181
00:12:04,056 --> 00:12:06,320
- [Vicky] Is that Frankie?
- Yes, dear.
182
00:12:06,392 --> 00:12:08,656
Hold him for me, Jill.
Don't let him get away.
183
00:12:08,728 --> 00:12:12,164
You come out
and do your own holding.
184
00:12:13,599 --> 00:12:18,229
- Good morning, Frankie.
- That's a nice dress you've put on.
185
00:12:20,473 --> 00:12:23,408
From that moment on, life became
just one great, dizzy world for her.
186
00:12:23,476 --> 00:12:26,377
She was asked everywhere.
She got offers to pose for advertisements...
187
00:12:26,445 --> 00:12:32,042
model clothes, join the ice ballet,
every possible form of publicity.
188
00:12:32,118 --> 00:12:34,245
She even remembered the singing lessons
Mom had paid for...
189
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,585
and suddenly started
to fancy herself as a chanteuse.
190
00:12:37,656 --> 00:12:41,786
Frankie even managed to get her a job
singing with a name band.
191
00:12:41,861 --> 00:12:45,092
Finally, one morning,
things came to a climax.
192
00:12:53,339 --> 00:12:55,864
I wonder what's keeping him.
I left a message hours ago.
193
00:12:55,941 --> 00:12:59,240
Why, Jill, what are you
getting so excited about?
194
00:12:59,311 --> 00:13:01,609
Nothing. Except he's going
to be awfully mad.
195
00:13:01,680 --> 00:13:04,615
- Don't worry. I can handle him.
- Glad you think so.
196
00:13:04,683 --> 00:13:08,915
- I wouldn't be in your shoes
for all the gold in Kentucky.
- [Knocking]
197
00:13:08,988 --> 00:13:11,752
- Do you think that's him?
- Uh-huh. I know his knock. Come in.
198
00:13:17,229 --> 00:13:20,721
- What's up?
- Well, it's not exactly going to be a wedding.
199
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:22,859
I'm sorry.
I was up all night.
200
00:13:22,935 --> 00:13:27,668
Darling, something terrible
has happened. I...
201
00:13:27,740 --> 00:13:30,868
I don't quite know how to tell you,
it's so embarrassing, but...
202
00:13:30,943 --> 00:13:34,435
Of course I realize everything
you've done for me, but, well...
203
00:13:34,513 --> 00:13:36,708
life is so uncertain
nowadays, isn't it?
204
00:13:36,782 --> 00:13:40,616
- Get to the point.
- Well, I...
205
00:13:40,686 --> 00:13:43,917
- I'm going away.
- Away? Where?
206
00:13:43,989 --> 00:13:47,720
I couldn't help it, really I couldn't.
I just happened to run into this man, and...
207
00:13:47,793 --> 00:13:50,887
Purely business,
you understand.
208
00:13:50,963 --> 00:13:54,194
- Where are you going?
- To Hollywood.
209
00:13:54,266 --> 00:13:56,928
Hollywood?
210
00:13:59,638 --> 00:14:04,405
As I said, I just happened to run into this man,
and he wanted to make a screen test.
211
00:14:04,476 --> 00:14:07,445
I didn't see any harm in it,
so I said yes.
212
00:14:07,513 --> 00:14:13,076
I didn't wanna tell you in case it
turned out badly. I wanted to surprise you.
213
00:14:13,152 --> 00:14:16,952
But it turned out simply wonderfully,
and I've signed a long-term contract.
214
00:14:17,022 --> 00:14:20,822
- When are you going?
- I leave tomorrow night.
215
00:14:20,893 --> 00:14:24,260
- Congratulations.
- Oh, now, Frankie, wait a minute. I...
216
00:14:24,330 --> 00:14:26,696
Look, I've always been
on the level with you, haven't I?
217
00:14:26,765 --> 00:14:31,168
- Why didn't you tell me?
- Oh, Frankie, I know what you're thinking.
218
00:14:31,237 --> 00:14:34,035
After all, you did take me out of the restaurant,
introduce me to the right people...
219
00:14:34,106 --> 00:14:37,200
and that sort of thing, but, well,
I have some brains too.
220
00:14:37,276 --> 00:14:40,211
It was me
they were interested in.
221
00:14:40,279 --> 00:14:44,272
Some people think I'm a very attractive girl.
You didn't create that.
222
00:14:44,350 --> 00:14:47,877
- I'm no Frankenstein, you know.
- I wonder.
223
00:14:47,953 --> 00:14:50,956
- [Knocking]
- Come in.
224
00:14:53,759 --> 00:14:57,286
Robin, Larry,
how sweet of you both to come.
225
00:14:57,362 --> 00:14:59,387
- What's the matter? What happened?
- Are you all right?
226
00:14:59,465 --> 00:15:02,866
- I came as soon as I got your message.
- Dear Robin, dear Larry...
227
00:15:02,935 --> 00:15:06,803
Something terrible
has happened.
228
00:15:06,872 --> 00:15:10,740
This whole thing started me thinking
I was wrong and Vicky was right.
229
00:15:10,809 --> 00:15:12,936
After all, she had ended up
with a Hollywood contract...
230
00:15:13,011 --> 00:15:16,572
and I was still pounding a typewriter
and breaking my fingernails.
231
00:15:16,648 --> 00:15:20,675
But that's the trouble with giving advice nowadays.
So much of it turns out wrong.
232
00:15:22,788 --> 00:15:26,189
When Vicky told me she had that Hollywood job
set up behind my back, I...
233
00:15:26,258 --> 00:15:28,192
Well, you could've
knocked me down with a feather.
234
00:15:28,260 --> 00:15:31,024
- So you knocked her down instead. Is that it?
- No, wise guy.
235
00:15:31,096 --> 00:15:34,293
I did exactly what you would do.
I got cockeyed.
236
00:15:34,366 --> 00:15:36,664
~ [Popular]
237
00:15:47,012 --> 00:15:50,413
- Do you mind turning that thing down a little?
- Not at all.
238
00:15:52,818 --> 00:15:56,185
- Women are all alike.
- For Pete's sake, what difference does that make?
239
00:15:56,255 --> 00:15:58,485
You've got to have them.
They're standard equipment.
240
00:15:58,557 --> 00:16:02,755
Can you imagine her walking out on me
after all that I've done for her? Me!
241
00:16:02,828 --> 00:16:05,490
You've done for her?
What have you done for her?
242
00:16:05,564 --> 00:16:09,591
Well, I took her around to all the bright spots.
I let her be seen with me everywhere.
243
00:16:09,668 --> 00:16:14,230
- It made her seem important.
- Why, you parboiled old ham.
244
00:16:14,306 --> 00:16:17,104
You don't think anybody thought there was
anything between you two, do you?
245
00:16:17,176 --> 00:16:20,737
If it hadn't been for my column, people
would've thought she was your trained nurse.
246
00:16:20,812 --> 00:16:24,213
Why, you ink-stinking
word slinger.
247
00:16:24,283 --> 00:16:28,344
I was famous when they were changing
your pants 20 times a day.
248
00:16:28,420 --> 00:16:32,754
What's the use of bickering?
We've all gotten it. We may as well admit it.
249
00:16:32,824 --> 00:16:35,816
- Surely you got some fun out of it.
- That's where you're wrong.
250
00:16:35,894 --> 00:16:39,193
All I got was a handshake,
a smile and a promise.
251
00:16:39,264 --> 00:16:43,598
I had to sit around with that sourpuss sister
of hers waiting for Vicky to come home.
252
00:16:43,669 --> 00:16:46,160
- You're kidding.
- On the level. Night after night.
253
00:16:46,238 --> 00:16:49,469
Didn't you even
get a souvenir?
254
00:16:49,541 --> 00:16:53,443
Well, I... got this.
255
00:16:53,512 --> 00:16:56,003
She gave it to me once
when she had an appointment.
256
00:16:56,081 --> 00:16:58,845
She told me to go up
to her apartment and wait.
257
00:16:58,917 --> 00:17:02,045
I waited,
and she came in with you.
258
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:06,523
I'll be darned.
There's another for the scrapbook.
259
00:17:06,592 --> 00:17:09,789
I wonder if there could've been somebody
else in her life all the time.
260
00:17:09,861 --> 00:17:13,456
Well, if there was,
he must've been a locksmith.
261
00:17:16,368 --> 00:17:19,166
Was there anyone in her life
before this Frankie Christopher?
262
00:17:19,238 --> 00:17:22,071
On your last visit to New York,
for instance, about a year ago?
263
00:17:22,140 --> 00:17:25,598
Any little incident that you can remember
may be of enormous help.
264
00:17:25,677 --> 00:17:28,111
She was working in the restaurant then
and working pretty hard.
265
00:17:28,180 --> 00:17:31,741
She didn't have much time
for running around, and...
266
00:17:35,921 --> 00:17:40,756
Now that you mention it, I... I do
remember a queer thing that happened.
267
00:17:40,826 --> 00:17:44,318
I didn't think much of it
at the time, but, well...
268
00:17:44,396 --> 00:17:47,797
I was sitting in the place one night, waiting
for her to finish so we could go home...
269
00:17:47,866 --> 00:17:49,857
when...
270
00:17:52,871 --> 00:17:55,897
- I'll be with you in a minute, sis.
- Okay.
271
00:18:44,356 --> 00:18:46,347
Vicky?
272
00:18:48,293 --> 00:18:51,524
You seem to have an admirer. There was some
guy looking through the window at you...
273
00:18:51,596 --> 00:18:53,689
like the wolf looked
at the three little pigs.
274
00:18:53,765 --> 00:18:55,824
I'm used to that.
With that plate-glass window...
275
00:18:55,901 --> 00:18:58,836
I've got about as much privacy
as a lingerie mannequin.
276
00:18:58,904 --> 00:19:01,372
It doesn't mean a thing.
277
00:19:09,314 --> 00:19:11,305
That's the one.
278
00:19:17,756 --> 00:19:20,520
- Gives me the creeps.
- You'll have to get used to that.
279
00:19:20,592 --> 00:19:24,050
We've got more wolves in New York
than they have in Siberia.
280
00:19:24,129 --> 00:19:26,859
I saw him several times
after that.
281
00:19:26,932 --> 00:19:29,799
He never said anything, never accosted us
or bothered us in any way...
282
00:19:29,868 --> 00:19:33,429
but he frightened me.
283
00:19:33,505 --> 00:19:37,566
There was something strange
about him, the way he'd look at her...
284
00:19:37,642 --> 00:19:41,009
the way he'd turn up
in the most unexpected places.
285
00:19:41,079 --> 00:19:45,140
Perhaps if you could find that man,
you'd find the murderer.
286
00:19:46,785 --> 00:19:49,219
Mysterious stranger, huh?
287
00:19:51,556 --> 00:19:55,959
Young lady, you'll have to do better than that.
Me and my partner weren't born yesterday.
288
00:19:56,027 --> 00:20:00,157
- Why are you trying to protect
Frankie Christopher?
- I'm not trying to protect him.
289
00:20:00,232 --> 00:20:02,166
I just don't believe he did it.
290
00:20:02,234 --> 00:20:06,830
Was there ever anything between you
and this Frankie Christopher?
291
00:20:06,905 --> 00:20:09,999
- What are you saying?
- You were in love with him, weren't you?
292
00:20:10,075 --> 00:20:12,236
- That's a lie!
- You were in love with him,
and he didn't give you a tumble...
293
00:20:12,310 --> 00:20:15,404
so you put your sister
out of the way.
294
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:19,075
Let me out of here!
You have no right to talk to me like that.
295
00:20:19,151 --> 00:20:23,645
- Who do you think you are?
- I'm a poor, underpaid detective
trying to get at the facts.
296
00:20:23,722 --> 00:20:26,316
Well, I demand
to see somebody in authority!
297
00:20:26,391 --> 00:20:29,053
- I wanna see the head man around here!
- Get Cornell.
298
00:20:35,700 --> 00:20:39,659
- We don't wanna get tough with
you unless we have to.
- I told you I didn't do it.
299
00:20:39,738 --> 00:20:42,070
[Detective]
Inspector, you're wanted inside.
300
00:20:42,140 --> 00:20:46,236
All right, boys.
Keep him warm. I'll be right back.
301
00:20:47,412 --> 00:20:50,904
- Here you are.
- Thanks.
302
00:21:00,058 --> 00:21:03,789
All right, young lady.
Here's the head man.
303
00:21:03,862 --> 00:21:05,887
That's him!
That's the man!
304
00:21:05,964 --> 00:21:08,728
- What's this?
- She's crazy. She said she
saw a mysterious stranger...
305
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:10,791
peeking through the window
of the joint where her sister worked.
306
00:21:10,869 --> 00:21:15,568
- Now she says it's Ed.
- What about it, Ed?
Do you peek through windows?
307
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:19,474
Sure. When it happens to be my district.
That's my job, Miss Lynn, to look at people.
308
00:21:19,544 --> 00:21:21,478
I admit he looks
as if he'd do anything...
309
00:21:21,546 --> 00:21:24,140
but at the time of the murder,
he happened to be in Albany with me.
310
00:21:24,349 --> 00:21:27,614
Frankie Christopher took you and your sister
out for a ride the evening before the murder.
311
00:21:27,686 --> 00:21:30,246
What happened on that ride?
312
00:21:30,322 --> 00:21:33,951
There's nothing important about that.
Vicky was just imagining things.
313
00:21:34,025 --> 00:21:37,222
- Like you?
- I'm not imagining anything! I did see you!
314
00:21:37,295 --> 00:21:41,959
All right. I'm a Peeping Tom.
Now, about the ride...
315
00:21:42,033 --> 00:21:45,764
- Well, it's really so silly. I hate to...
- Come on. Let's have it.
316
00:21:45,837 --> 00:21:48,499
Christopher just told me all about it,
so you'd better not withhold anything.
317
00:21:50,342 --> 00:21:53,675
Well, it was the night before
Vicky was to leave for Hollywood.
318
00:21:53,745 --> 00:21:57,738
Frankie came by to pick us up
and take us for a ride.
319
00:21:57,816 --> 00:22:00,614
We were driving along,
not thinking much of anything, when...

~ [Humming]
321
00:22:10,362 --> 00:22:13,092
We'll be sorry
to see you go, Vicky.
322
00:22:13,164 --> 00:22:16,190
- No, you won't. You'll be glad.
- [Frankie] What?
323
00:22:16,268 --> 00:22:19,260
You'll be glad
to get rid of me.
324
00:22:19,337 --> 00:22:22,864
- Jill's in love with you. Haven't you noticed?
- Vicky, don't be silly.
325
00:22:22,941 --> 00:22:26,274
I'm not silly.
I've known it a long time.
326
00:22:26,344 --> 00:22:29,142
She's tried to cover it up,
but I've known.
327
00:22:29,214 --> 00:22:32,672
You're crazy. Nothing like that's
ever entered my head.
328
00:22:32,751 --> 00:22:35,686
I know.
It's much deeper than that.
329
00:22:35,754 --> 00:22:40,191
That's why it's so dangerous.
Anything might happen.
330
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,524
Let's go back now,
shall we?
331
00:22:46,197 --> 00:22:48,927
Now, she said to Christopher,
"You'll be glad to get rid of me."
332
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:53,835
- Is that it, word for word?
- Yes. But she didn't mean anything like that!
333
00:22:53,905 --> 00:22:57,966
What she meant we'll never know.
It's what she said that counts.
334
00:22:58,043 --> 00:23:02,878
Now tell us how
and when you found the body.
335
00:23:02,948 --> 00:23:05,416
Well, it was about 5:30
in the afternoon.
336
00:23:05,483 --> 00:23:08,543
I'd gotten away early
from the office.
337
00:23:08,620 --> 00:23:13,250
Even as I came out of the elevator,
I had a feeling something was wrong.
338
00:23:13,325 --> 00:23:17,659
I don't know quite how to explain it, but there
was music coming from the apartment, and...
339
00:23:17,729 --> 00:23:20,061
~ [Popular]
340
00:23:27,072 --> 00:23:32,009
- Vicky!
- I just came in, just this second.
341
00:23:34,412 --> 00:23:36,403
Is she?
342
00:23:38,550 --> 00:23:41,576
Jill, you don't think
I did it, do you?
343
00:23:41,653 --> 00:23:44,816
You don't, do you?

~ [Radio Switches Off]
345
00:24:14,252 --> 00:24:17,187
I'm not quite clear
on what happened after that.
346
00:24:17,255 --> 00:24:19,519
The next thing I knew,
the room was filled with police.
347
00:24:19,591 --> 00:24:23,083
Thank you very much, Miss Lynn.
You've been most helpful.
348
00:24:25,864 --> 00:24:29,197
- I give up.
- Say, you fellas give up too easy.
349
00:24:29,267 --> 00:24:31,201
How 'bout playing
a couple games of gin rummy?
350
00:24:31,269 --> 00:24:36,332
Exactly what did Vicky mean when she said,
"You'll be glad to get rid of me"?
351
00:24:36,408 --> 00:24:41,038
- Where did you get that?
- Never mind where I got it. What did she mean?
352
00:24:41,112 --> 00:24:44,479
- I don't know.
- I'll tell you what she meant.
353
00:24:44,549 --> 00:24:47,279
She knew you resented
her running out on you.
354
00:24:47,352 --> 00:24:50,947
When you left those two fellas at the bar,
you started to get drunk.
355
00:24:51,022 --> 00:24:54,981
You drank all that night and the next day.
Your mind became more and more inflamed...
356
00:24:55,060 --> 00:24:58,029
until you were mad
with jealousy and hurt pride.
357
00:24:58,096 --> 00:25:00,929
I say you went up there
and killed her in cold blood.
358
00:25:00,999 --> 00:25:03,490
- That's not true!
- It is true!
359
00:25:03,568 --> 00:25:07,766
I got a good mind
to kill you myself right now!
360
00:25:07,839 --> 00:25:11,900
- Take it easy, Ed? Take it easy.
- [Panting]
361
00:25:18,349 --> 00:25:21,910
That's all for today,
Frankie. Sorry to bother you.
362
00:25:26,825 --> 00:25:30,317
How 'bout a couple
of tickets for the rodeo?
363
00:25:30,395 --> 00:25:33,364
You don't need any seats
for the rodeo.
364
00:25:33,431 --> 00:25:37,299
All you need's a couple more bulls in here,
and you can have one of your own.
365

The assistant D.A. Wants to see Christopher
in his office right away.
366
00:25:40,805 --> 00:25:45,174
There you are, Frankie. You see?
He probably wants to apologize.

[Chuckles]
368
00:25:49,380 --> 00:25:51,371
Thanks.
369
00:25:58,857 --> 00:26:01,724
- What's the idea of riding him so hard?
- I don't know.
370
00:26:01,793 --> 00:26:04,956
I've had 15 years' experience
in this racket.
371
00:26:05,029 --> 00:26:08,396
If that isn't the look of a guilty man,
I'll take the rap myself.
372
00:26:08,466 --> 00:26:11,902
- Here he comes.
- What's the dope, Frankie?
373
00:26:11,970 --> 00:26:13,938
- Give us a break, will ya?
- What'd he say?
374
00:26:14,005 --> 00:26:16,269
- Sorry, boys. No statement.
- Allow me.
375
00:26:16,341 --> 00:26:20,038
- What's the idea?
- I hear Ed Cornell is taking charge
of the investigation.
376
00:26:20,111 --> 00:26:23,080
- That's right.
- Brother, when that guy says
you're cooked, you're cooked.
377
00:26:23,148 --> 00:26:26,140
He hasn't lost a conviction
in his entire career.
378
00:26:26,217 --> 00:26:29,846
Here. Pin the crepe
on Cornell. His career is dead.
379
00:26:40,765 --> 00:26:43,893
Mr. Christopher, I'm terribly sorry if
you've been caused any inconvenience.
380
00:26:43,968 --> 00:26:46,766
- I hope none of our men were too rough with you.
- No, no. Not at all.
381
00:26:46,838 --> 00:26:50,296
They've been
perfect little gentlemen.
382
00:26:50,375 --> 00:26:53,276
The fact is, somebody has made
a terrible mistake. I was just explaining...
383
00:26:53,344 --> 00:26:57,144
to Miss Lynn here that it seemed so logical
that you were the guilty one.
384
00:26:57,215 --> 00:27:01,276
- Doesn't it now?
- No. I think we know the identity of the killer.
385
00:27:01,352 --> 00:27:03,320
- Who is it?
- A boy by the name of Harry Williams...
386
00:27:03,388 --> 00:27:05,788
switchboard operator
at the apartment house.
387
00:27:07,358 --> 00:27:10,885
- Do you mind if I go now?
- Not in the least, Miss Lynn.
388
00:27:12,764 --> 00:27:15,699
Sorry to have
troubled you.
389
00:27:16,701 --> 00:27:19,101
- Good-bye.
- Good-bye.
390
00:27:22,006 --> 00:27:24,133
What makes you think
Williams did it?
391
00:27:24,209 --> 00:27:28,145
We just got a call from one of our men.
Williams has been missing since 5:30 last night.
392
00:27:28,213 --> 00:27:30,977
He's probably hiding out
somewhere, scared and shaky.
393
00:27:31,049 --> 00:27:33,415
- But don't worry. We'll find him.
- Well, you'd better be quick about it...
394
00:27:33,484 --> 00:27:37,511
because if I find him first, you're gonna have
another murder on your hands.
395
00:27:45,997 --> 00:27:47,988
Jill!
396
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,260
Jill,
can't we be friends?
397
00:27:52,337 --> 00:27:55,238
This is a nice time
to be thinking about that.
398
00:27:55,306 --> 00:27:58,173
I'm sorry you told that story
about the car.
399
00:27:58,243 --> 00:28:01,679
I couldn't help it. Besides,
it didn't mean anything anyway.
400
00:28:01,746 --> 00:28:05,910
Vicky didn't know what she was saying.
You know that, don't you?
401
00:28:05,984 --> 00:28:08,851
Sure.
May I take you home?
402
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,947
No, thanks. I don't want any more reminders
around than are necessary.
403
00:28:46,691 --> 00:28:50,991
Well, it's the first time I ever had
a bad dream with my eyes open.
404
00:28:51,062 --> 00:28:55,431
- What do you want?
- Someday, you're gonna talk in your sleep...
405
00:28:55,500 --> 00:28:57,832
and when that day comes,
I wanna be around.
406
00:28:57,902 --> 00:29:00,871
It's no use, Cornell.
I'm not the type.
407
00:29:00,939 --> 00:29:05,933
- Have you got a warrant?
- No. This is strictly my own idea.
408
00:29:06,010 --> 00:29:10,572
- I'm working on my own time.
- Then get out of here.
I don't like rats in my bedroom.
409
00:29:10,648 --> 00:29:14,914
Now, wait. You don't seem
to realize I'm doing you a favor.
410
00:29:14,986 --> 00:29:19,286
I'm keeping you posted
on the progress of this case.
411
00:29:19,357 --> 00:29:24,852
For instance, I found this cigarette butt
crushed out in her clothes closet.
412
00:29:24,929 --> 00:29:27,762
There was also an evening slipper
that had been stepped on...
413
00:29:27,832 --> 00:29:31,290
as if somebody
had waited there, hiding.
414
00:29:31,369 --> 00:29:36,397
- Do you often smoke in clothes closets?
- Not since I was a kid.
415
00:29:36,474 --> 00:29:39,375
It happens
to be your brand.
416
00:29:39,444 --> 00:29:43,505
According to the latest statistics,
10 million people smoke that brand...
417
00:29:43,581 --> 00:29:45,515
including the army
and navy.
418
00:29:45,583 --> 00:29:50,418
- Maybe it was a mass murder.
- I know it doesn't mean much by itself...
419
00:29:50,488 --> 00:29:52,979
but every little bit counts.
420
00:29:53,057 --> 00:29:56,788
When I get all my evidence together,
I'm gonna have you tied up...
421
00:29:56,861 --> 00:30:00,126
like a pig
in a slaughterhouse.
422
00:30:01,366 --> 00:30:03,857
Perhaps they're
keeping it from you...
423
00:30:03,935 --> 00:30:06,836
but they told me at headquarters
that they think Harry Williams did it.
424
00:30:06,904 --> 00:30:10,465
- I think they're wrong.
- Oh, I see.
425
00:30:10,541 --> 00:30:13,874
They believe Williams did it,
but you're the holdout.
426
00:30:13,945 --> 00:30:19,645
- You're the bright boy. Is that it?
- Maybe.
427
00:30:19,717 --> 00:30:22,777
You know, you're like something
out of a museum.
428
00:30:22,854 --> 00:30:27,791
You oughta have a magnifying glass
and one of those trick hats with earflaps.
429
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:33,126
Why don't you look
in that box?
430
00:30:33,197 --> 00:30:36,189
- Collar buttons.
- That's right.
431
00:30:36,267 --> 00:30:40,533
Say, you're wonderful. You know,
I think I'll carry you around just for laughs.
432
00:30:40,605 --> 00:30:42,800
I don't mind the kidding.
433
00:30:42,874 --> 00:30:46,833
You're a pretty cocky fellow, Frankie.
You've had your own way for a long time.
434
00:30:46,911 --> 00:30:50,870
- First with Vicky Lynn and now with her sister.
- Get out of here.
435
00:30:50,948 --> 00:30:54,645
Find Harry Williams. That's your job.
And if I ever catch you around here again...
436
00:30:54,719 --> 00:30:58,018
they'll have to
pick you up with a sieve.
437
00:31:37,865 --> 00:31:40,095
Hello, Harry.
438
00:31:40,167 --> 00:31:43,568
- Hello, Miss Lynn.
- I thought you'd gone away.
439
00:31:43,637 --> 00:31:45,764
I just went over to Brooklyn
to see my parents.
440
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:49,401
I didn't realize it would cause such a fuss.
I explained everything to the cops.
441
00:31:49,477 --> 00:31:53,504
- Oh. I thought...
- Well, you shouldn't have thought that, Miss Lynn.
442
00:31:53,581 --> 00:31:57,642
You know I wouldn't
do a thing like that, don't you?
443
00:31:57,718 --> 00:31:59,709
Yes.
444
00:31:59,787 --> 00:32:02,915
- I'm moving. I've come for Vicky's things.
- Yes. I know.
445
00:32:02,990 --> 00:32:05,390
The superintendent told me
you were coming.
446
00:32:05,459 --> 00:32:09,691
I have everything here,
all packed and ready to go.
447
00:32:13,067 --> 00:32:16,798
- But who packed them?
- I did.
448
00:32:16,871 --> 00:32:19,863
Well, you shouldn't have done that.
You should've gotten permission.
449
00:32:19,940 --> 00:32:23,671
I wanted to help.
I thought it might be of some help.
450
00:32:25,646 --> 00:32:29,582
Well, as long as you've done it, thanks very much.
Will you help me carry them?

Hello?

00:32:38,726 --> 00:32:41,661
Just a minute. It's Mr. Christopher.
He wants to speak to you.
454
00:32:41,729 --> 00:32:44,960
Tell him I'm not in;
I've gone away.
455
00:32:45,032 --> 00:32:48,468
- She's not in. She's gone away.
- Where has she gone?
456
00:32:48,536 --> 00:32:50,561
He wants to know
where you've gone.
457
00:32:50,638 --> 00:32:53,505
Just tell him
there's no forwarding address.
458
00:32:53,574 --> 00:32:55,974
Sorry.
There's no forwarding address.
459

- Was the funeral nice?
- It was very quiet.
There wasn't anybody there except me.
460
00:33:08,122 --> 00:33:10,852
- I wanted to come.
- Why didn't you?
461
00:33:10,925 --> 00:33:14,053
I didn't think

- What do you want?

- Then get out of here and get to work.

You haven't got a thing so far.

- Suspicions? What good
are suspicions without proof?

of him; just give me time.

so fresh, so full of life...

00:38:01,548 --> 00:38:03,982
about Vicky that the very sight of her
gave me new hope.

they didn't need me.

- I thought he was fine.
- It was that clumsy referee.
620
00:46:53,029 --> 00:46:55,691
He's nearsighted.
We only keep him on out of charity.
621
00:46:55,765 --> 00:46:58,325
- Hello, Frankie. How are ya?
- Hello, Gus. How's business?
622
00:46:58,401 --> 00:47:01,234
- Ah, so-so.
- I love this neighborhood.
623
00:47:01,304 --> 00:47:03,238
I was brought up here.
624
00:47:03,306 --> 00:47:05,968
I even miss the "L."
It used to sound like thunder.
625
00:47:06,042 --> 00:47:09,478
- Did you ever bring Vicky down here?
- No. Vicky liked the nightclubs.
626
00:47:09,545 --> 00:47:11,513
I've never been
in a New York nightclub.
627
00:47:11,581 --> 00:47:13,515
- What?
- No.
628
00:47:13,583 --> 00:47:16,450
See, I've never known a man
who had the cover charge.
629
00:47:17,553 --> 00:47:19,885
Lady, we're going to
fix that right now.
630
00:47:22,492 --> 00:47:24,483
- Pegasus Club.
- Yes, sir.
631
00:47:37,974 --> 00:47:40,272
- Hi, Frankie.
- Hello. How's tricks?
632
00:47:40,343 --> 00:47:43,471
Not so good.
I still got that ringing in my head.
633
00:47:43,546 --> 00:47:47,107
That's too bad. Here. Get yourself
a big dinner and see what happens.
634
00:47:47,183 --> 00:47:49,879
- Thanks, Frankie.
- Keep punchin'.
635
00:47:49,952 --> 00:47:51,886
- Who's that?
- He used to be a pretty good heavyweight...
636
00:47:51,954 --> 00:47:53,888
but he's slaphappy now.
637
00:47:53,956 --> 00:47:56,254
He always hears
the bell in his head.
638
00:47:56,325 --> 00:47:58,316
He seemed to know you were
going to give him that money.
639
00:47:58,394 --> 00:48:01,989
Always do.
I may be a has-been myself someday.
640
00:48:09,872 --> 00:48:13,831
Perhaps this isn't wise, Frankie.
Are you sure we oughta be seen together?
641
00:48:13,910 --> 00:48:16,743
I was never so sure
of anything in my life.
642
00:48:21,217 --> 00:48:23,208
~ [Band]
643
00:48:26,989 --> 00:48:28,957
Well, what do you know
about that?
644
00:48:29,025 --> 00:48:32,222
Pardon me, baby, while I go out
and sink a battleship.
645
00:48:33,963 --> 00:48:35,897
- Would you like to dance?
- No, thanks.
646
00:48:35,965 --> 00:48:38,263
I don't feel like dancing.
647
00:48:38,334 --> 00:48:40,768
Why did you suddenly
call me tonight?
648
00:48:40,836 --> 00:48:42,827
It's very simple.
I was lonely...
649
00:48:42,905 --> 00:48:45,533
and I thought you might
possibly be lonely too.
650
00:48:45,608 --> 00:48:48,475
- Is that all?
- Of course.
651
00:48:48,544 --> 00:48:52,640
You know, I'm not sure I like being just
another member of the Lonely Hearts Club.
652
00:48:52,715 --> 00:48:55,206
You might do better by looking up
the advertisements.
653
00:48:55,284 --> 00:48:59,914
"Bachelor, $75,000,
with two glass eyes."
654
00:48:59,989 --> 00:49:03,083
The trouble with you is you pretend
you don't care about things, but you do.
655
00:49:03,159 --> 00:49:06,060
You were very upset
by Vicky's death, weren't you?
656
00:49:06,128 --> 00:49:09,097
Sure. If I could find
the guy who did it...
657
00:49:09,165 --> 00:49:12,464
I might save the state something
on its electricity bill.
658
00:49:12,535 --> 00:49:15,129
- She was a good kid.
- Did you love her?
659
00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:18,867
No. Do you think
if I had loved her...
660
00:49:18,941 --> 00:49:21,501
I would've tried
to exploit her the way I did?
661
00:49:21,577 --> 00:49:23,841
Vicky was pretty,
gay and amusing.
662
00:49:23,913 --> 00:49:26,609
She had lots to offer, and I wanted to
put her in the right place on the map.
663
00:49:26,682 --> 00:49:28,912
After all,
that's my business.
664
00:49:28,985 --> 00:49:31,749
But when a man
really loves a woman...
665
00:49:31,821 --> 00:49:35,985
he doesn't wanna plaster her face all over
the papers and magazines.
666
00:49:36,058 --> 00:49:39,255
He wants to keep her to himself,
right in here.
667
00:49:39,328 --> 00:49:41,592
[Pats Chest]
668
00:49:41,664 --> 00:49:47,068
I never thought of that.
I feel like dancing now.
669
00:49:47,136 --> 00:49:50,128
~ [Continues]
670
00:49:52,174 --> 00:49:55,803
Scrap the stuff about the Japanese
spy with a Kodak and run this:
671
00:49:55,878 --> 00:49:58,108
"What sister of what
recently murdered girl...
672
00:49:58,180 --> 00:50:00,944
is stepping out
with the dead girl's boyfriend?
673
00:50:01,017 --> 00:50:03,577
Dancing on the grave,
I call it.
674
00:50:03,653 --> 00:50:05,644
The murderer
has yet to be found."
675
00:50:07,890 --> 00:50:12,054
- You dance well.
- Vicky said I was terrible.
676
00:50:12,128 --> 00:50:14,688
Well, dancing...
It sort of depends.
677
00:50:14,764 --> 00:50:16,994
Yes, I... I know.
678
00:50:22,872 --> 00:50:24,806
How'd you like your
first New York nightclub?
679
00:50:24,874 --> 00:50:29,470
Oh, it was wonderful.
Especially the dancing.
680
00:50:29,545 --> 00:50:33,276
Thanks. Where would
you like to go now?
681
00:50:33,349 --> 00:50:36,011
It's pretty late.
Where do you usually go?
682
00:50:36,085 --> 00:50:38,053
If I told you,
you'd laugh.
683
00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:40,645
Go ahead.
I could use a good laugh.
684
00:50:40,723 --> 00:50:44,124
- I go swimming.
- Swimming? Where?
685
00:50:44,193 --> 00:50:47,424
The Lido Plunge. You see,
when I was a kid on the East Side...
686
00:50:47,496 --> 00:50:49,430
it used to be the biggest
adventure of my life...
687
00:50:49,498 --> 00:50:52,399
whenever I could save up
a quarter and go to the Lido.
688
00:50:52,468 --> 00:50:55,130
I never got enough of it.
So, now that I'm in the chips...
689
00:50:55,204 --> 00:50:58,173
I go swimming
every chance I get.
690
00:50:58,240 --> 00:51:00,174
[Chuckling]
Anyway, it's healthy.
691
00:51:00,242 --> 00:51:03,678
If you've got an extra quarter on you,
I'd like to go along.
692
00:51:03,746 --> 00:51:05,680
- Are you kidding?
- No.
693
00:51:05,748 --> 00:51:07,739
You're on.
694
00:51:20,563 --> 00:51:23,828
- Hello.
- Ouch. You hurt my eyes.
695
00:51:23,899 --> 00:51:27,357
- Thanks, mister.
- Madame, could I interest you in a nice cold swim?
696
00:51:27,436 --> 00:51:29,370
Funny, I was just going
to ask you that.
697
00:51:29,438 --> 00:51:31,429
Swell. Let's go.
698
00:51:52,094 --> 00:51:54,028
Well, how do you like
the old swimming hole?
699
00:51:54,096 --> 00:51:57,554
- Wet and wonderful.
- This is my idea of real luxury.
700
00:51:57,633 --> 00:51:59,897
You know, if I ever
inherit a gold mine...
701
00:51:59,969 --> 00:52:01,903
I'll have a swimming pool
in every room...
702
00:52:01,971 --> 00:52:04,269
and you can swim
in all of'em.
703
00:52:04,340 --> 00:52:06,831
Do you tell that to every girl
you bring down here?
704
00:52:06,909 --> 00:52:09,343
So help me, I never
brought a girl here in my life!
705
00:52:09,412 --> 00:52:12,404
- Hi, Frankie!
- Hello.
706
00:52:21,991 --> 00:52:25,552
- Well, here we are.
- It's been a wonderful evening.
707
00:52:25,628 --> 00:52:28,096
Thanks.
You've been swell.
708
00:52:28,164 --> 00:52:30,098
Frankie, will you
come upstairs a minute?
709
00:52:30,166 --> 00:52:32,225
There's something of Vicky's
I know she'd want you to have.
710
00:52:32,301 --> 00:52:34,292
Sure.
711
00:52:51,921 --> 00:52:53,855
It's a note you wrote
to Vicky.
712
00:52:53,923 --> 00:52:57,381
I found it among her things
before the police arrived.
713
00:52:57,460 --> 00:52:59,758
"Dear Vicky, after what
you did last night...
714
00:52:59,829 --> 00:53:01,820
the sooner
you're out of the way"...
715
00:53:02,932 --> 00:53:06,060
- Did I write that?
- It's your signature.
716
00:53:06,135 --> 00:53:08,103
Well, it was after
that ride together.
717
00:53:08,170 --> 00:53:12,106
What she said, it...
it was so unfair to you.
718
00:53:12,174 --> 00:53:16,736
I know what you meant,
but I don't think anybody else would.
719
00:53:20,483 --> 00:53:22,417
Why didn't you
turn this in?
720
00:53:22,485 --> 00:53:25,079
I didn't know until tonight.
721
00:53:25,154 --> 00:53:27,622
It was when we were dancing.
722
00:53:27,690 --> 00:53:30,488
I suddenly understood the letter
and a lot of other things besides.
723
00:53:34,597 --> 00:53:37,191
[Cornell] I'd like to have a look at
that letter, if you don't mind.
724
00:53:46,475 --> 00:53:50,241
"Dear Vicky, after what
you did last night...
725
00:53:50,312 --> 00:53:53,543
the sooner you're out of
the way, the better."
726
00:53:53,616 --> 00:53:55,675
Nice of you
to put in writin'.
727
00:53:55,751 --> 00:53:58,720
All right, Murphy.
You wait in the hall.
728
00:53:58,787 --> 00:54:01,017
I knew you were
holdin' somethin' back.
729
00:54:01,090 --> 00:54:04,389
You're the Mona Lisa type.
I can spot 'em a mile away.
730
00:54:04,460 --> 00:54:07,156
- Oh!
- Jill!
731
00:54:08,998 --> 00:54:11,990
- [Door Slams]
- Well, here we are, Frankie.
732
00:54:12,067 --> 00:54:14,934
I've looked forward to
this moment for a long time.
733
00:54:15,004 --> 00:54:16,938
- You're trying to frame me.
- I don't have to frame you.
734
00:54:17,006 --> 00:54:18,940
You frame yourself.
How about this little note?
735
00:54:19,008 --> 00:54:21,272
Anybody might've written
a note like that. I was burned up.
736
00:54:21,343 --> 00:54:24,676
Well, you're gonna have plenty of time
to cool off before I'm through with you.
737
00:54:25,748 --> 00:54:27,978
I found these in your room.
738
00:54:28,050 --> 00:54:31,577
Exhibit "A,"
one pair of brass knuckles.
739
00:54:31,654 --> 00:54:36,455
And Vicky was hit behind the ear with a weapon
the size of a fist, only much harder.
740
00:54:36,525 --> 00:54:38,618
It's a frame.
You're trying to frame me!
741
00:54:38,694 --> 00:54:40,753
You planted those, you... you...
[Groans]
742
00:54:43,933 --> 00:54:46,197
"A frame."
That's what they all say.
743
00:54:46,268 --> 00:54:50,102
Murphy saw me take those knuckles
from your bureau drawer.
744
00:54:50,172 --> 00:54:52,868
[Frankie]Jill, you don't believe
all this stuff, do you?
745
00:54:52,942 --> 00:54:54,376
What does it matter
what she believes?
746
00:54:54,376 --> 00:54:55,308
What does it matter
what she believes?
747
00:54:55,377 --> 00:54:57,641
You're like a rat in a box
without any holes.
748
00:54:57,713 --> 00:54:59,943
Well, they're gonna make a hole for you,
Mr. Handsome Harry...
749
00:55:00,015 --> 00:55:02,506
6-by-3,
filled with quicklime...
750
00:55:04,550 --> 00:55:07,713
You shouldn't have done that, Jill.
It makes you an accomplice.
751
00:55:07,786 --> 00:55:11,017
Quick, through the kitchen.
There's a doorway leading to the hall.
752
00:55:11,089 --> 00:55:13,455
Go on.
Leave the cop to me.
753
00:55:17,796 --> 00:55:19,730
Quick, Officer!
He's trying to escape!
754
00:55:19,798 --> 00:55:21,789
He went through
the bedroom!
755
00:55:37,449 --> 00:55:40,816
Sorry for being so slow, but I don't do this
sort of thing very often.
756
00:55:40,886 --> 00:55:44,287
- You're going great.
- I hope the man doesn't mind our using his things.
757
00:55:44,356 --> 00:55:46,586
I'll leave him
a note of apology.
758
00:55:46,658 --> 00:55:48,922
[Sawing Continues]
759
00:55:48,994 --> 00:55:51,861
- You're a great sport, Jill.
- You're not so bad yourself.
760
00:55:51,930 --> 00:55:56,492
- Why did you do it?
- I don't know.
761
00:55:56,568 --> 00:55:59,731
But when I saw you standing there so helpless
and that big fathead bullying you...
762
00:55:59,805 --> 00:56:02,365
I just had to hit something.
763
00:56:02,441 --> 00:56:04,705
Is that the only reason?
764
00:56:04,776 --> 00:56:06,937
No.
765
00:56:07,012 --> 00:56:09,003
I guess Vicky was right
about us, wasn't she?
766
00:56:11,083 --> 00:56:13,643
- Glad?
- [Sawing Stops]
767
00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:15,710
What do you think?
768
00:56:24,429 --> 00:56:26,920
Frankie, we've got to get out
of this town as fast as we can.
769
00:56:26,999 --> 00:56:29,399
Are you sure you wanna
go through with it?
770
00:56:29,468 --> 00:56:32,596
You know, it isn't very much fun
being married to a hunted man.
771
00:56:35,674 --> 00:56:37,665
I don't mind.
772
00:56:39,378 --> 00:56:41,539
Besides, most married men
have a hunted look anyway.
773
00:56:43,749 --> 00:56:45,740
Frank!
774
00:56:58,230 --> 00:57:00,198
First thing we gotta do in the morning
is get some money.
775
00:57:00,265 --> 00:57:02,563
I've got some laid away
in a safe deposit box downtown.
776
00:57:02,634 --> 00:57:05,034
- There'll be watching there, won't they?
- Not this one.
777
00:57:05,103 --> 00:57:07,435
I put it away
under my original name.
778
00:57:07,506 --> 00:57:12,034
[Mouths Words]
Frank, you're not really a crook, are you?
779
00:57:12,110 --> 00:57:16,206
Of course not. I took the name Christopher
because it's easy to spell.

00:57:16,281 --> 00:57:19,808
- What's your real name?
- I hate to tell you.
781
00:57:19,885 --> 00:57:22,445
You've got to tell me
if I'm gonna use it.
782
00:57:22,521 --> 00:57:25,217
Okay. Botticelli.
783
00:57:26,758 --> 00:57:31,024
Botticelli.
Mrs. Botticelli.
784
00:57:31,096 --> 00:57:33,121
Why, that's not bad at all.
785
00:57:34,232 --> 00:57:36,427
What are we going
to do in the meantime?
786
00:57:36,501 --> 00:57:39,834
I'm going to show you how to play
hide-and-seek in the big city.

- Yes?

00:57:52,718 --> 00:57:55,050
How many times
do we have to see this?
790
00:57:55,120 --> 00:57:57,850
Don't tell me you're getting
tired of it already?
791
00:57:57,923 --> 00:58:00,858
- I'm just beginning to get warmed up.

Put your shoes on, sister.

If I had to see that picture once more,
I think I'd rather give myself up.
797
00:58:52,177 --> 00:58:54,111
I don't blame you.
Now, listen.
798
00:58:54,179 --> 00:58:56,204
I want you to wait for me in the public library
until I get the money.
799
00:58:56,281 --> 00:58:59,148
- Why can't I come with you?
- I think it's better that we
separate for the time being.
800
00:58:59,217 --> 00:59:02,653
- You'll be safer there.
- [Scoffs] What makes you think that's safe?
801
00:59:02,721 --> 00:59:06,122
Nobody in their right mind
is ever in a public library at 9:00.
802
00:59:06,191 --> 00:59:09,285
And if anything does go wrong,
you meet me here.
803
00:59:09,361 --> 00:59:11,420
- Now, be careful.
- All right.

Come along with us.

- Carrying a gun?
- Who can tell?
818
01:01:11,109 --> 01:01:13,043
It may be a gun
or it may be a pipe.
819

Then again,
it may be just my finger.
820

But you're not taking
any chances, are you?
821

No. I don't have to.

- What's on your mind, Frankie?
- You've taken Jill.
823

She hasn't got
anything to do with this.

Self-sacrifice

It's no use. I don't have to

I'll get you eventually.
If not tomorrow, next week.

If not next week,
next year.

Time's nothing in my life.
It is in yours.

You got the wrong steer
this time, Cornell.
833
01:01:49,781 --> 01:01:52,181
They told me at headquarters
that you're a pretty sure thing.
834
01:01:52,250 --> 01:01:54,184
But this time you're trying
to convict an innocent man.
835
01:01:54,252 --> 01:01:57,744
That's what you say,
but you can't sell me on it.
836
01:01:57,822 --> 01:02:00,916
I'll follow you into your grave.
I'll write my name on your tombstone.
837

You're not a cop
looking for a murderer.
838
01:02:02,994 --> 01:02:04,962
You're crazy, Cornell.
You ought to be put away.
839
01:02:05,029 --> 01:02:09,625
Sure. Why don't you
call a policeman?
840
01:02:09,701 --> 01:02:13,068
All right, Cornell.
But I'll tell you one thing.
841
01:02:13,137 --> 01:02:15,298
You're never going to convict me.
You'll have to kill me first.
842
01:02:15,373 --> 01:02:17,898
[Scoffs]
I wouldn't kill anybody.
843

carry a gun. You can frisk me.

850
01:02:50,341 --> 01:02:54,209
Did you ever read
The Sex Life of the Butterfly by Faber?
851
01:02:54,278 --> 01:02:57,543
- Cornell, are you crazy?
- [Chuckles] That's funny.
852
01:02:57,615 --> 01:03:01,142
That's the second time I've been asked
that question tonight. Have a Tootsie Roll.
853
01:03:01,219 --> 01:03:05,952
What in blazes does The Sex Life of
the Butterfly got to do with the Lynn case?
854
01:03:06,024 --> 01:03:08,549
Faber was a naturalist.
855
01:03:08,626 --> 01:03:13,461
He got himself a very rare female butterfly
from Africa worth 1,000 bucks.
856
01:03:13,531 --> 01:03:17,092
He kept it in a glass box
in his apartment in Paris.
857
01:03:17,168 --> 01:03:21,127
But nobody had ever been able
to catch the male of the species.
858
01:03:21,205 --> 01:03:23,799
One day, he let
the female out of the box...
859
01:03:23,875 --> 01:03:26,366
and in a few hours,
he had 10,000 dollars' worth...
860
01:03:26,444 --> 01:03:30,278
of rare African butterflies
flying around the room.
861
01:03:30,348 --> 01:03:33,442
Very interesting.
Very interesting indeed!
862
01:03:33,518 --> 01:03:37,010
But what's all this got to do
with the Lynn case, may I ask?
863
01:03:37,088 --> 01:03:40,023
I want a release order
for the girl.
864
01:03:40,091 --> 01:03:42,389
Just let her out of the box.
Nature will do the rest.
865
01:03:42,460 --> 01:03:45,224
We'll have Frankie in the net
by tomorrow.
866
01:03:47,265 --> 01:03:50,063
Yeah, you may be
right at that.
867
01:03:50,134 --> 01:03:52,568
But if you slip up
this time, Cornell...
868
01:03:52,637 --> 01:03:55,470
it's curtains
to a brilliant career.
869
01:03:55,540 --> 01:03:58,008
You realize that,
of course?
870
01:03:58,076 --> 01:04:02,035
Sure. I realize that
more than you do.

- How did you get out?
- They let me out.
875
01:06:37,168 --> 01:06:39,864
Oh, they would,
so you could lead them right to me.
876
01:06:39,937 --> 01:06:43,100
I wasn't a Campfire Girl for nothing.
They think I'm still in the apartment.
877
01:06:43,174 --> 01:06:45,108
Yeah? Well, we're getting
out of town right now.
878
01:06:45,176 --> 01:06:47,269
Wait a minute.
I found something.
879
01:06:47,345 --> 01:06:51,338
These cards... They were on the flowers
that were sent to Vicky's funeral.
880
01:06:54,118 --> 01:06:56,382
- Who were they from?
- I don't know.
881
01:06:58,422 --> 01:07:01,084
Maybe we won't have to
leave town after all.
882
01:07:12,370 --> 01:07:14,361

but I'm from the Evening Ledger.

Sure. Sure.
Come in.
887
01:07:43,701 --> 01:07:47,262
You know, I'm glad to see anybody
that's still moving around.
888
01:07:48,339 --> 01:07:50,273
Well, what can I
do for you?
889
01:07:50,341 --> 01:07:52,366
I've been assigned to write
a human interest story on Vicky Lynn.
890
01:07:52,443 --> 01:07:54,911
I was wondering whether you could
help me. Any colorful or unusual...
891
01:07:54,979 --> 01:07:58,005
little incident connected
with the funeral, for instance.
892
01:07:58,082 --> 01:08:00,073
Lynn, Lynn.
Let me see.
893
01:08:00,151 --> 01:08:02,517
That's the girl was murdered
up on 76th Street, isn't it?
894
01:08:02,586 --> 01:08:06,147
- That's right.
- Well, I don't know much I can tell you.
895
01:08:06,223 --> 01:08:09,283
Only thing... We got our orders and laid
her away the same as anybody else.
896

- Has anybody been out here since?
- No.
897
01:08:12,596 --> 01:08:16,088
- Were there many flowers at the funeral?
- No. Just the...
898
01:08:17,335 --> 01:08:19,326

every day since she died.

- Who'd they come from?
- I don't know.
902
01:08:33,084 --> 01:08:35,018
Never was any signature
on the card.
903
01:08:35,086 --> 01:08:37,577
Just come regular from some florist
around Times Square.

I'm sorry, Miss Smith. I usually
like to oblige newspaper people...
908
01:09:03,914 --> 01:09:06,678
but in this case
I'm between two fires.
909
01:09:06,751 --> 01:09:09,447
Then the man who's been sending
the flowers is also from a newspaper?
910
01:09:09,520 --> 01:09:12,580
Well, in a way, yes,
but he isn't a reporter.
911
01:09:12,656 --> 01:09:15,784
- Does he write a column?
- Well, I can't say that, can I...
912
01:09:15,860 --> 01:09:18,021
or else I'd give it away?
913
01:09:18,095 --> 01:09:20,427
Thanks, Mr. Keating.
I think I get your drift.
914
01:09:20,498 --> 01:09:22,830
Now, don't get me
in any trouble.

Well, this is
a pleasant surprise.
920
01:09:45,990 --> 01:09:48,925
What's the idea of breaking into my place
like this in the middle of the night?
921
01:09:48,993 --> 01:09:50,961
What do you know
about the death of Vicky Lynn?
922
01:09:51,028 --> 01:09:53,553
You're a fine one to ask that.
I know nothing about it.
923
01:09:53,631 --> 01:09:55,792
Then why have you been sending flowers
to her grave every day?
924
01:09:55,866 --> 01:09:59,324
Oh, so you've found out
about that, have you?
925
01:09:59,403 --> 01:10:01,394
- I can explain that easily.
- Then go ahead.
926
01:10:01,472 --> 01:10:03,406
- I promised her.
- Promised her?
927
01:10:03,474 --> 01:10:05,465
- Yes. Mind if I smoke?
- Not at all.
928
01:10:10,147 --> 01:10:12,980
- You won't need that.
- I just thought I'd try it.
929
01:10:13,050 --> 01:10:15,746
It'd be a great scoop for me
if I could bring you in myself.
930
01:10:15,820 --> 01:10:17,913
So you think
I'm guilty too?
931
01:10:18,989 --> 01:10:21,321
Yes, and so does everybody else.
932
01:10:21,392 --> 01:10:24,691
What do you mean you promised
to send Vicky flowers?
933
01:10:24,762 --> 01:10:28,755
Well, the day of the murder, I had driven Vicky
to the station to get her train reservations.
934
01:10:28,833 --> 01:10:31,802
You mean you were with Vicky
the afternoon she was killed?
935
01:10:31,869 --> 01:10:34,360
- Yes.
- Then why didn't you tell that to the police?
936
01:10:34,438 --> 01:10:37,134
Because I'm not a fool.
You told the police your story.
937
01:10:37,208 --> 01:10:40,143
- What'd it get you?
- Never mind that. Go on.
938
01:10:40,211 --> 01:10:43,738
When we got back to the apartment,
she had forgotten her key.
939
01:10:43,814 --> 01:10:45,748
She asked me if I had the one
she gave me...
940
01:10:45,816 --> 01:10:47,750
and I told her
I had raffled it off.
941
01:10:47,818 --> 01:10:50,378
Oh, dear,
the passkey's gone too.
942
01:10:50,454 --> 01:10:52,422
I guess there's nothing to do
but sit and wait...
943
01:10:52,490 --> 01:10:54,424
for the switchboard boy
to get back.
944
01:10:54,492 --> 01:10:57,359
From what I've seen of that boy,
he may be gone for hours.
945
01:10:57,428 --> 01:11:00,022
I'd better climb up the fire escape
and let you in myself.
946
01:11:00,097 --> 01:11:03,260
Why, Larry, you'd never do
anything so gallant.
947
01:11:03,334 --> 01:11:05,325
You don't know me.
948
01:11:28,659 --> 01:11:32,322
- There you are, milady.
- Larry, you're so sweet.
949
01:11:35,366 --> 01:11:39,302
You know, uh, now that I'm leaving,
I'm really a little unhappy about it.
950
01:11:39,370 --> 01:11:41,600
Oh, forget it.
951
01:11:41,672 --> 01:11:44,106
If I weren't sure
I'd be a success, I'd...
952
01:11:44,174 --> 01:11:46,199
well, I'd never do
a thing like this.
953
01:11:46,277 --> 01:11:51,237
I'm sure you'll be a success. You've got
a heart made out of rock candy.
954
01:11:54,685 --> 01:11:58,781
- You won't forget me, will you?
- I won't for at least two weeks.
955
01:11:58,856 --> 01:12:01,984
- Two weeks isn't very long, is it?
- It is for a columnist.
956
01:12:02,059 --> 01:12:04,892
I'll tell you what I'll do. For the first
two weeks, I'll send you flowers every day.
957
01:12:04,962 --> 01:12:07,328
It'll make a great impression
where you're going.
958
01:12:07,398 --> 01:12:09,958
Oh, Larry,
will you really?
959
01:12:10,034 --> 01:12:12,559
- Promise?
- I promise.
960
01:12:12,636 --> 01:12:15,036
A promise is a promise.
961
01:12:15,105 --> 01:12:19,064
I hope it still makes an impression...
wherever she is.
962
01:12:19,143 --> 01:12:23,375
- I think it smells. What did you do after that?
- I left.
963
01:12:23,447 --> 01:12:25,813
Was the boy at the switchboard
when you came down?
964
01:12:25,883 --> 01:12:29,250
No. No, I remember the board
was buzzing as I passed by.
965
01:12:29,320 --> 01:12:33,450
Did you notice anything unusual
about the room when you went in?
966
01:12:33,524 --> 01:12:37,221
Yeah, now that you mention it. There seemed
to be the smell of cigarette smoke in the air.
967
01:12:37,294 --> 01:12:39,558
I thought maybe
Jill had just left or...
968
01:12:39,630 --> 01:12:41,621
Jill was at the office.
969
01:12:44,401 --> 01:12:47,165
Good grief. You don't think
he did it, do you?
970
01:12:47,471 --> 01:12:49,405
Now, do you understand
what you have to do?
971
01:12:49,473 --> 01:12:51,805
- Give me a half hour, then telephone him.
- Frankie, I'm scared.
972
01:12:51,875 --> 01:12:54,070
- Don't do it, please!
- This is the only chance I have.
973
01:12:54,144 --> 01:12:56,305
I've gotta take it.
974
01:12:56,380 --> 01:12:58,371
Good luck, dear.
975
01:13:07,858 --> 01:13:09,792
Hold still.
I'd hate to put a hole in you.
976
01:13:09,860 --> 01:13:12,351
Put that gun away, Frankie.
We've got enough against you as it is.
977
01:13:12,429 --> 01:13:16,388
Not until you've heard me out. I got a lead
on the real killer, but I need your help.
978
01:13:16,467 --> 01:13:19,459
Sorry, Frankie.
I'm on the other side of the fence.
979
01:13:19,536 --> 01:13:23,097
Okay, then. I'll make you
a sporting proposition.
980
01:13:23,173 --> 01:13:26,768
You trust me for just a half an hour,
and I'll trust you.
981
01:13:28,112 --> 01:13:30,910
Well, I guess a half hour
won't do any harm.
982
01:13:30,981 --> 01:13:33,882
- But I'll take that just in case.
- Come on.

You let yourself in with your passkey
and waited for her in the apartment.
1000
01:15:14,151 --> 01:15:17,746
When Evans came through the window
to let her in, you hid in the closet.
1001

After he left, you came out.
You tried to grab her, and she screamed.

- I didn't know what I was doin'.

I swear. She screamed,
and I lost my head!
1004

- Do ya? Do ya?
- Sure.
1006
01:15:33,080 --> 01:15:35,844
I told a cop how it was
when he traced me to Brooklyn.

He said he understood too.
1008

So he told me just to come back here and
keep quiet, and he'd forget all about it.

Have you come
to give yourself up?
1025

I don't have to. I just had
a long talk with Harry Williams.

That must have been
very enlightening.

- Maybe.

You knew Williams was the one
that killed Vicky all the time.
1031
01:18:18,111 --> 01:18:21,774
- Sure. I'm not dumb.
- You knew it, and yet you wanted to fry me.

- Why?

away from me, not him.

seem funny to you...

to a woman like that.

I got up enough courage to speak to her.
1040

got home all right.

and it was always the same.

might get to know each other better...
1051
01:19:33,019 --> 01:19:38,252
that I might even get up enough courage
to ask her to... marry me someday.
1052
01:19:40,694 --> 01:19:44,824
I... took this apartment...
1053

leave her alone?
