MIGHT AS WELL SIT DOWN AND TAKE IT EASY, MISS GREY.

I WANT TO HAVE A LONG, LONG LOOK

BEFORE I GO BACK.

MAYBE YOU AIN'T GOING BACK.

MAYBE THE JURY'S AGREEING RIGHT NOW

TO TURN IN A VERDICT OF "NOT GUILTY."

OH, STOP IT.

I'M TRYING NOT TO THINK ABOUT IT.

I'M SORRY.

OH, DON'T MIND ME.

IT'S JUST THAT...

PERHAPS THE JURY'S NOT GOING TO SAY, "NOT GUILTY."

WHY DO THEY TAKE SO LONG?

ALL JURIES LIKE TO TALK A LOT.

MAKES THEM FEEL MORE IMPORTANT.

BUT WHAT IS THERE TO TALK ABOUT?

I TOLD THEM THE TRUTH.

THEY MUST KNOW I DIDN'T KILL HIM.

YOU KNOW I DIDN'T KILL HIM.

IT'S AS PLAIN AS DAYLIGHT THAT SHE KILLED TED ARNOLD!

AH, SHE DON'T LOOK LIKE THAT KIND OF A GIRL TO ME.

NOW, LISTEN, MIKE, THAT JUST SHOWS HOW MUCH YOU KNOW ABOUT WOMEN.

I COULD TELL SHE WAS GUILTY THE FIRST TIME I SET EYES ON HER.

MAYBE SO, BUT WHAT ABOUT MONK SHELBY?

GOSH, BUT YOU'RE STUBBORN.

THAT'S THE FUNNIEST ALIBI I EVER HEARD.

OH, YEAH? BUT NOBODY HAS PROVED THAT HE WASN'T IN THE ROOM.

WELL, SHE AIN'T PROVED THAT HE WAS.

I'VE GOT TO STOP THINKING ABOUT IT.

I'VE GOT TO.

MAYBE I COULD BORROW A DECK OF CARDS.

NO. THAT WOULDN'T HE-

NONE OF THAT, YOUNG LADY!

DO THEY KEEP LUNATICS IN THIS BUILDING, TOO?

NOT AS I KNOW OF. WHY?

LOOK.

WHAT'S HE DOING?

OH, HE'S TRYING TO MAKE A DATE WITH YOU.

THE DARN FOOL.

YES. IT IS PRICELESS, ISN'T IT?

HE DOESN'T REALIZE WHO YOU ARE.

PROBABLY THINKS YOU'RE A WITNESS.

WELL, LET HIM THINK THAT.

WON'T DO ANY HARM, ANYWAY.

MR. BAXTER.

I HOPE YOU'RE NOT BEING BORED.

OH, NO, YOUR HONOR. ON THE CONTRARY,

I FIND IT MOST INTERESTING.

SECTION 354 OF THE CIVIL PRACTICE ACT SAYS...

OK, YOU TWO. THE JURY'S COMING IN.

COURT IS NOW IN SESSION.

BE SEATED.

GENTLEMEN OF THE JURY, HAVE YOU REACHED A VERDICT?

WE HAVE, YOUR HONOR.

THE PRISONER WILL RISE.

"WE, THE JURY, FIND THE DEFENDANT ANN GREY...

GUILTY OF MURDER IN THE FIRST DEGREE."

Ann: BUT I DIDN'T DO IT!

I TELL YOU THAT I DID NOT DO IT! I HAD ABSOLUTELY-

THERE HE IS, BOYS.

MR. DISTRICT ATTORNEY, MAY I HAVE A PICTURE?

WHY DIDN'T YOU TRY THIS CASE YOURSELF?

AH, ONE AT A TIME, BOYS, PLEASE.

DO YOU THINK THE GOVERNOR WOULD LET A WOMAN BURN?

IS THERE A REASON WHY HE SHOULDN'T?

THEN YOU'RE IN FAVOR OF THE DEATH PENALTY FOR WOMEN?

MY PERSONAL OPINION HAS NOTHING TO DO

WITH THE INTERPRETATION OF THE LAW.

AS LONG AS THE CRIME OF MURDER CALLS FOR THE SUPREME PENALTY,

THE SEX OF THE OFFENDER SHOULD CAUSE NO DISCRIMINATION.

VERDICT MAKES IT TOUGH, DON'T IT?

I'LL SAY IT DOES.

IF THAT GIRL TAKES THE RAP,

250 GRAND THAT BELONG TO ME BURN WITH HER.

SMILEY. SMILEY, YOU COULD HAVE KNOCKED ME DOWN WITH A FEATHER

WHEN I HEARD THAT VERDICT.

THE JURY HAD NO RIGHT TO CONVICT ON THAT EVIDENCE.

IT WAS PURELY CIRCUMSTANTIAL.

I'LL FILE A NOTICE OF APPEAL RIGHT AWAY.

I'M SURE I'LL GET HER OFF THE NEXT TIME.

I'M NOT UNDERWRITING ANYTHING MORE, YOU FINK.

OH, BUT, CHIEF, THAT ISN'T FAIR.

THIS HAS BEEN A PLENTY TOUGH CASE,

AND I'M DOING THE BEST I CAN.

YOUR BEST ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH.

I GOT NO MORE USE FOR YOU, HERMAN. YOU DON'T DELIVER.

OH, BUT, LISTEN, CHIEF - YOU HEARD ME.

BUT I'D LIKE TO- SCRAM.

WELL, THAT WASHES HERMAN UP.

WHO ARE YOU GOING TO GET NOW TO HANDLE THE APPEAL?

NOBODY. FROM NOW, I'LL HANDLE THIS MY WAY.

FAIR ENOUGH. NOW THAT SHE KNOWS SHE'S COOKED,

MAYBE SHE'LL STOP HOLDING OUT ON US, HUH?

WANT ME TO GO DOWN TO THE COUNTY JAIL

AND HAVE A LITTLE HEART-TO-HEART TALK WITH HER?

SHE'S NOT GOING BACK TO THE COUNTY JAIL.

HI, JOE.

WANT A SMOKE?

AH, GUESS I'M OUT.

GOT A MATCH, AL?

COME ON.

HEY, YOU!

WELL, HELLO.

SO YOU DECIDED TO KEEP YOUR DATE AFTER ALL.

THAT'S SWELL.

NO. I-I MEAN, I-

YES. I INTENDED TO KEEP IT ALL THE TIME.

WHERE'S SHE GO?

SHUT UP. 6-E...

DO HURRY, WON'T YOU?

HURRY? WHERE?

ANYWHERE.

WELL, WHEN YOU HAVE A CAR LIKE THIS,

IT SEEMS A PITY NOT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT, DOESN'T IT?

ALL RIGHT. I'M USED TO GOING NO PLACE IN A HURRY.

Y- YOU DON'T NEED TO GO TOO FAST.

YOU KNOW, THERE ARE POLICEMEN.

WHERE'LL WE GO? THE RITZ?

I DON'T THINK I LOOK VERY PRESENTABLE.

COULD WE GO TO YOUR PLACE AND LET ME TIDY UP A LITTLE?

WHY, OF COURSE.

WE'RE PRACTICALLY THERE.

4727 HALL STREET. A DISTURBANCE.

ATTENTION ALL CARS. A GENERAL ALARM.

BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR ANN GREY.

CONVICTED OF MURDER THIS AFTERNOON.

SHE ESCAPED WHILE BEING TAKEN

FROM THE COURTHOUSE TO THE COUNTY JAIL.

SHE'S 5'2" TALL, WEARING A BLUE 2 - PIECE SUIT WITH...

YEAH? YEAH? SURE I KNOW WHAT SHE LOOKS LIKE.

OK. I'LL BE WATCHING.

WELL, HERE WE ARE.

I'LL SEE YOU AS SOON AS I PARK THE CAR.

I'LL MEET YOU INSIDE.

ALL RIGHT.

HELLO, MAC.

GOOD AFTERNOON, MR. BAXTER.

HIYA, GERTIE.

HIDEY-HO, MR. BAXTER.

OH, HERE YOU ARE.

OH, ISN'T MR. BAXTER THE ONE?

CLARK GABLE'S NICE, TOO.

YOU WOMEN MAKE ME SICK.

DID YOU SEE THE DAME WITH HIM?

YEAH, BUT I'VE SEEN HIM DO BETTER.

DID YOU EVER SEE HER BEFORE?

SAY, ARE YOU THE HOUSE DICK, OR AM I?

HERE WE ARE. COME RIGHT IN.

PEEDLES, CHAMPAGNE COCKTAILS, AND NO 2 WAYS ABOUT IT.

Peedles: YES, SIR.

YOU KNOW, 2 OF PEEDLES' COCKTAILS

WILL MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE, UH- LIKE, UH-

LIKE THE MOON IN THE MORNING MIST, SIR.

THAT'S IT.

THANK YOU, SIR.

OH, LOOK AT ME.

IF YOU'LL STEP RIGHT THIS WAY,

I'LL SHOW YOU THE BRUSH AND COMB DEPARTMENT.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

THERE IT IS. AND RIGHT HERE IS THE SALON DE NECK-AND-EARS.

WHO IS THAT?

OH, THAT'S BETTY.

SHE'S PRETTY, ISN'T SHE?

YEAH. I THINK SO.

WELL, HERE WE ARE.

I THINK YOU'LL FIND EVERYTHING YOU NEED RIGHT HERE.

OH, MY GOODNESS! DO I REALLY LOOK LIKE THAT?

YES, YOU LUCKY GIRL.

HA HA HA!

SAY, WHAT ABOUT DINNER? DELMONICO'S, PIERRE'S, THE AMBASSADOR-

OH, NO, PLEASE.

OH, I MEAN, UH, I'M SO SICK OF THOSE PLACES,

YOU KNOW, AND EVERYBODY GOES THERE.

IT MAKES THEM SORT OF COMMON, DOESN'T IT?

YOU KNOW WHAT I'D REALLY LIKE TO DO? WHAT?

WELL, I THINK IT'D BE FUN IF WE HAD A LITTLE SIMPLE DINNER HERE, DON'T YOU?

WELL, THAT'S AN IDEA.

PEEDLES!

DON'T OPEN THAT DOOR!

BUT WHY NOT?

WHAT'S IN HERE?

A BATHROOM.

OH.

WOULD YOU MIND IF I TOOK A BATH?

NOT AT ALL. HELP YOURSELF.

THANK YOU.

PEEDLES!

PEEDLES!

WHERE IN THE WORLD IS THAT-

THANK YOU, SIR. I STEPPED INTO THE HALLWAY FROM THE KITCHEN,

AND THE DOOR SLAMMED SHUT.

Ann: YES?

SAY, IF YOU'LL HAND ME YOUR CLOTHES,

I'LL HAVE PEEDLES PRESS THEM.

HE'S VERY QUICK AT THAT SORT OF THING.

WELL, UM...

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. JUST A MINUTE.

HI-HO.

ALL RIGHT.

PEEDLES!

COMING, SIR.

SPONGED AND PRESSED, PEEDLES.

YOUR DELUXE JOB.

SHALL I TAKE THE LADY A COCKTAIL, SIR?

OH, NO. YOU SEE, SHE'S TAKING A BATH.

A BATH, SIR?

WELL, IT'S A NICE DAY FOR IT.

HERE YOU ARE, TOOTS.

THANKS, STEVE.

HOW MUCH ARE YOUR TORO PERFECTOS?

10 CENTS.

3 FOR A QUARTER?

NO. 10 CENTS STRAIGHT.

WELL, YOU CAN GET THEM ACROSS THE STREET 3 FOR A QUARTER.

WHY DON'T YOU GET THEM THERE, THEN?

HA HA! I DO.

HEY. HEY, GIVE ME YOUR PHONE.

GO USE A PAY STATION.

GIVE ME YOUR PHONE! COME ON. HURRY UP.

HELLO. THIS IS SWEENEY.

GET ME POLICE HEADQUARTERS RIGHT AWAY.

HOW YOU DOING?

UM... OH, FINE.

TONY!

BETTY!

WELL, WHERE'D YOU COME FROM?

I JUST FLEW IN FROM MIAMI.

I SUDDENLY REALIZED, DARLING, WE HADN'T BEEN ENGAGED FOR THE LONGEST TIME,

AND I COULDN'T STAND IT WITHOUT YOU ANOTHER MINUTE.

TONY, WE'RE ENGAGED AGAIN.

DO YOU REALLY MEAN IT?

ABSOLUTELY.

HURRAY!

COME OVER HERE AND SIT DOWN AND TELL ME ALL YOU'VE BEEN DOING

FOR THE PAST 3 MONTHS. DARLING, I'D LOVE TO,

BUT I WAS JUST GOING OUT AS YOU CAME IN.

DO YOU USUALLY GO OUT IN THAT?

SILLY, ISN'T IT?

JUST WHERE WERE YOU GOING?

I- I WAS GOING TO SEE DEAR OLD ARTHUR THORPE. YOU REMEMBER THE THORPES.

COME ON, DEAR. HERE WE GO.

WELL, WHAT'D YOU TAKE YOUR COAT OFF FOR? WE HAVEN'T A MOMENT TO LOSE.

NO, DARLING. I'LL STAY HERE.

I'M EXPECTING A CALL FROM MOTHER.

WELL, I-

WHAT'S THAT?

I- I GUESS THAT WAS PEEDLES.

YOU KNOW, HE STAMPS ABOUT SO.

TONY, WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU?

OH, THAT'S MOTHER. TELL HER WE'RE ENGAGED AGAIN.

HELLO, MOTHER. WE'RE ENGAGED-

WHAT?

SWEENEY'S ON HIS WAY UP TO YOUR APARTMENT

WITH A COUPLE OF CENTRAL OFFICE DETECTIVES.

THEY'RE AFTER THE GIRL YOU HAD WITH YOU.

OH.

WELL, UH, TELL HIM TO COME RIGHT UP.

OH, DARLING, THAT WASN'T YOUR MOTHER. IT WAS A CLIENT OF MINE.

HE WANTS TO SEE ME ABOUT SOMETHING VERY IMPORTANT.

WOULD YOU MIND WAITING IN THAT OTHER ROOM, PLEASE?

YOU SEE, IT'S VERY CONFIDENTIAL,

AND IT WON'T TAKE ME BUT JUST A FEW MOMENTS.

THAT'S RIGHT.

YES?

HEY, YOU'VE GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE.

BUT I CAN'T GO ANYWHERE DRESSED LIKE THIS.

WELL-

HERE. HIDE IN HERE.

YES, BUT MY SUIT- MY SUIT-

PUT THESE ON. I'LL SEND PEEDLES AROUND TO THE SERVICE DOOR

WITH YOUR THINGS LATER.

MR. BAXTER, THESE GENTLEMEN ARE FROM HEADQUARTERS, AND THEY'RE LOOKING-

YES. I WAS JUST GOING OUT.

I WONDER IF YOU COULD COME BACK A LITTLE LATER.

YOU GOT A GIRL HERE?

DO YOU THINK I'D BE GOING OUT

IF I HAD A GIRL HERE?

YOU MIGHT. DO YOU MIND IF WE LOOK?

HEY, WAIT A MINUTE. DO YOU REALIZE YOU'RE VIOLATING

THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS OF A CITIZEN?

A MAN'S HOME IS HIS CASTLE.

YOU GOT A SEARCH WARRANT?

SEARCH-

UH, A SEARCH WARRANT?

ARE YOU SURE YOU SAW THE GIRL WITH HIM?

POSITIVE. ONCE I SEE A FACE,

I NEVER FORGET IT.

OK. I'LL TAKE A CHANCE.

I WARN YOU, YOU'RE MAKING

A TERRIBLE MISTAKE.

YEAH?

Sweeney: THERE SHE IS!

COME ON, SISTER. YOU'RE UNDER ARREST.

Betty: TONY, WHAT IS THIS?

WHY, YOU FATHEAD! THAT'S NOT THE GIRL WE WANT.

Tony: OF COURSE IT'S NOT.

Detective: I'M SORRY, MISS, BUT THIS KEYHOLE SCHNAUZER

SAW YOU COME IN WITH MR. BAXTER

AND THOUGHT YOU WERE SOMEBODY ELSE. IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN.

Sweeney: BUT I'M POSITIVE I SAW THE OTHER GIRL!

COME ON. LET'S GET HIM OUT OF HERE BEFORE I CROWN HIM!

NOW, LISTEN, I-

COME ON!

WAIT A MINUTE. WAIT A MINUTE.

I TOLD YOU THE GIRL WAS HERE.

THESE ARE THE CLOTHES SHE WAS WEARING.

WHERE DID YOU GET THEM?

WHY, FROM HER.

WHAT'S HE DOING WITH YOUR CLOTHES?

DON'T ANSWER. YOU KEEP OUT OF THIS.

I'M HER ATTORNEY, AND I KNOW HER RIGHTS.

IT'S A STALL, I TELL YOU! THE GIRL'S HERE!

WELL, WE'LL SOON FIND OUT.

LOOK IN THOSE ROOMS. COME ON, CHARLIE.

IT'S LIKE HUNTING EASTER EGGS, ISN'T IT?

UH, THERE'S NOBODY HERE.

WHY DON'T YOU LOOK WHAT YOU'RE DOING, YOU FATHEAD?!

EXCUSE ME.

HEY.

MY MISTAKE.

Sweeney: MR. COLLINS, YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK?

YOU THINK? WHAT WITH?

AW, NOW, LISTEN TO ME.

WELL, YOU JUST GOT HER OUT IN TIME, DIDN'T YOU?

OR IS SHE STILL HERE?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

WHERE'D YOU EVER GET SUCH AN IDEA? OF COURSE NOT.

THEN HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THE BLUE SUIT?

OH, THAT. WELL, PEEDLES BROUGHT IT IN. YOU SAW HIM, DIDN'T YOU?

WHERE DID HE GET IT?

THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO KNOW.

PEEDLES!

YES, SIR?

WHAT'S THE MEANING OF ALL THIS? WHERE'D YOU GET THAT SUIT?

I'M SORRY, SIR. IT'S THE CASANOVA IN ME.

I'M ASHAMED OF YOU, PEEDLES.

YES, SIR. THANK YOU, SIR.

THERE. YOU SEE? HA HA!

JUST SOME VULGAR INTRIGUE OF PEEDLES'. QUITE BENEATH YOUR NOTICE.

NOW, ABOUT OUR ENGAGEMENT PARTY-

YOU INVITE WHOMEVER YOU LIKE, AND WE'LL ALL MEET HERE AT 9:00.

AND I'LL SEND PEEDLES ON AHEAD TO OPEN THE BOATHOUSE,

AND WE'LL END UP THERE FOR BREAKFAST. HOW'S THAT?

TONY BAXTER, YOU'RE UP TO SOMETHING FUNNY.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT, BUT IF IT'S WHAT I THINK IT IS, IT BETTER NOT BE.

WHERE'S MY COAT?

YOUR COAT? HMM. WHAT COAT?

THE COAT I WORE WHEN I CAME IN.

OH, NO, DEAR. YOU MUST BE MISTAKEN.

IF YOU'D HAVE WORN A COAT, I'D CERTAINLY HAVE REMEMBERED IT.

I WANT MY COAT.

SHE WANTS HER COAT.

YOUR GARMENT, MISS.

I TOOK THE LIBERTY OF HANGING IT UP.

IN THE KITCHEN?

UH, YES, MISS.

THAT'S THE ONE PLACE THE MOTHS WOULD NEVER THINK OF LOOKING FOR IT.

Tony: DARLING, PLEASE!

DON'T FORGET- 9:00 SHARP, HERE!

YOU THINK WE FOOLED HER, PEEDLES?

YOU HANDLED IT MASTERFULLY, SIR.

WELL, I HOPE YOU'RE RIGHT.

IT WAS KIND OF A DOUBLE SHUFFLE FOR A WHILE, YOU KNOW.

YES, SIR. A KIND OF A BIRD IN THE HAND

AND ONE IN THE, UH, PANTRY,

AS YOU MIGHT SAY, SIR.

MAY I COME IN?

OH. ARE YOU STILL HERE?

YES. IT WAS NICE OF YOU TO SAVE ME FROM THE POLICE.

SAY, WHAT DID THEY WANT YOU FOR?

DOES IT MATTER? IS THERE A BACK STAIRWAY HERE?

YES, BUT WAIT A MINUTE.

I'M AN ATTORNEY. I MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP YOU.

NO. I'M AFRAID NOT.

I THOUGHT YOUR FACE WAS FAMILIAR.

YOU'RE ANN GREY.

WHEN SHE BUMPED ME, I HAD NO IDEA,

AND THEN I SEEN HER PICTURE IN THE PAPER.

I RECOGNIZED HER, JUST LIKE THAT.

ARE YOU SURE

IT WAS AN IMPERIAL 16 SHE JUMPED INTO?

YES, SIR. POSITIVE.

DID YOU GET THE NUMBER OF THE CAR?

NO, SIR, I DIDN'T. YOU SEE, I DIDN'T SUSPECT ANYTHING.

BUT I'M PRETTY SURE IT HAD ON NEW YORK LICENSE PLATES.

THAT'S ALL, MR. SNYDER.

AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR COMING IN.

IMPERIAL 16s. THEY'RE SPECIAL JOBS, AREN'T THEY?

YES, SIR. THEY ONLY TURN OUT 400 A YEAR.

THEN I'LL BET THERE AREN'T 50 OF THEM IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK.

THAT'S RIGHT.

GET THE LICENSE BUREAU.

I WANT THE NAME OF THE OWNER

OF EVERY IMPERIAL 16 IN THE CITY,

AND I WANT TO KNOW WHERE EVERY IMPERIAL 16 WAS AT QUARTER PAST 4:00 TODAY.

TED ARNOLD WAS TERRIBLY AFRAID OF SOMETHING.

HE WOULDN'T TELL ME WHAT.

ABOUT 9:00, THERE WAS A KNOCK ON THE DOOR.

WHEN I WENT TO ANSWER IT, THERE WAS MONK SHELBY.

BEFORE I COULD SPEAK TO HIM, I HEARD A SHOT, AND I RUSHED INTO THE NEXT ROOM,

AND THERE LAY TED IN A HEAP ON THE FLOOR.

I SCREAMED TO MONK TO GET A DOCTOR,

BUT HE'D DISAPPEARED, AND NOBODY'S BEEN ABLE TO FIND HIM SINCE.

HOW'D YOU EVER GET MIXED UP WITH THAT KIND OF A CROWD?

OH, LIKE A MILLION OTHER GIRLS, I CAME HERE FULL OF HIGH HOPES,

THINKING I COULD CONQUER NEW YORK OVERNIGHT.

AS YOU KNOW, I MADE A MISERABLE FAILURE OF IT,

AND WHEN I NEEDED A FRIEND MOST, TED CAME TO MY RESCUE.

SO WHEN HE WAS IN TROUBLE AND CAME TO ME, WHAT COULD I DO?

WELL, YOU'D HAVE SAVED YOURSELF A LOT OF GRIEF

IF YOU'D CALLED THE POLICE.

WOULD YOU HAVE DONE THAT?

WHY, YES. HE WAS TAKING AN UNFAIR ADVANTAGE OF YOU.

Tony: I'VE GOT IT.

HELLO?

YES, THIS IS BAXTER.

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK I KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HER?

WE GOT THE NUMBER OF YOUR CAR WHEN YOU PICKED HER UP.

YEAH. SHE'S A FRIEND OF OURS.

I GUESS YOU'D JUST AS SOON

GET HER OFF YOUR HANDS, WOULDN'T YOU?

WHO IS THIS?

HE SAYS IT'S MONK SHELBY.

MONK SHELBY? LET ME SPEAK TO HIM.

WAIT A MINUTE. ARE YOU SURE YOU'D KNOW HIS VOICE?

YES, YES. GIVE IT TO ME.

HELLO? HELLO, MONK.

WELL, WHERE ARE YOU? WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?

I HAD TO LAY LOW. YEAH. THEY'RE AFTER ME, TOO.

YEAH, BUT I CAN FIX IT NOW.

NO, NOT OVER THE PHONE.

HELLO. SHELBY? YOU ON THE LEVEL WITH THIS GIRL?

YOU WANT TO HELP HER?

SURE, I CAN HELP HER. I CAN FIX IT, I TELL YOU.

NOW, LISTEN, YOU GO ON UP PAST REED'S CORNER.

YES?

YES, OF COURSE I KNOW WHERE IT IS, BUT WHY DON'T YOU-

HELLO?

HELLO?

I WAS TRYING TO TELL HIM TO COME AROUND

TO MY OFFICE IN THE MORNING, AND HE HUNG UP ON ME.

IN THE MORNING? BUT WHERE IS HE NOW?

HE'S WAY UP IN THE COUNTRY SOMEWHERE.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO TAKE ME. JUST TELL ME WHERE IT IS. I'LL GET THERE SOMEHOW.

MY ADVICE IS THAT WE CALL THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY

AND HAVE HIM PICK THIS SHELBY UP.

AND FRIGHTEN HIM AWAY AGAIN? BUT DON'T YOU SEE THAT I-

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT. I'LL JUST ABOUT HAVE TIME IF I HURRY.

PEEDLES!

PEEDLES, SHAKE A LEG!

A LEG, SIR? CERTAINLY, SIR.

GET MY COUPE AND PUT IT IN THE ALLEY BEHIND THE HOTEL.

INSTANTLY, SIR.

AND THEN GO TO THE BOATHOUSE

AND STAND BY FOR MERRYMAKERS.

I'LL GIVE YOU A LIST OF WHAT YOU'LL NEED.

YES, SIR. I'LL BE WITH YOU IN JUST A MOMENT.

NOW, THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. I WANT YOU TO GET THIS RIGHT.

I'M EXPECTING A LOT OF PEOPLE DOWN THERE.

WE'RE TO HAVE 3 OR 4 CASES OF CHAMPAGNE...

ALL RIGHT, BOYS. ON YOUR WAY.

YOU'RE THE RECEPTION COMMITTEE, ONLY REMEMBER THIS-

THE GIRL DOESN'T GET HURT, NOT TILL AFTER SHE TALKS.

AND TAKE THIS MUG ALONG WITH YOU

AND DROP HIM ON THE ROAD SOMEPLACE.

NO! NO, SMILEY! PLEASE!

YOU PROMISED!

NO! NO! LET ME GO!

BETTY GETS WIND OF THIS,

I MAY AS WELL START NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE FOREIGN LEGION.

DON'T YOU THINK SHE'LL UNDERSTAND?

BETTY UNDERSTAND? SAY, SHE BREAKS ENGAGEMENTS

THE WAY SOME PEOPLE BREAK FINGERNAILS.

THIS MUST BE IT.

HEY, JOE, THEY'RE HERE.

WELL... HERE YOU ARE.

GOOD-BYE. AND THANK YOU.

THANKS, BUDDY, FOR BRINGING HER OUT. WE'LL TAKE CARE OF HER NOW.

SAY, JUST A MINUTE.

ARE YOU MONK SHELBY?

NO. MONK'S IN THE HOUSE.

WELL, I'D LIKE A WORD WITH HIM IF YOU DON'T MIND.

HAVE IT YOUR OWN WAY,

BUT YOU BETTER PUT THE CAR IN THE BARN

SO IT WON'T BE SEEN FROM THE ROAD.

I LIKE IT ALL RIGHT OUT HERE.

I SAID DRIVE IN THE BARN.

ALL RIGHT.

NOW, REACH FOR THE CEILING.

COME ON. GET OUT.

DUCK!

WHAT'S THE MATTER?! WHAT'S HAPPENED?!

THEY'VE GOTTEN AWAY!

YOU ALL RIGHT?

YES.

SAY, LEVEL HER OFF, WILL YOU?

JUST GIVE ME ONE GOOD SHOT AT THAT GUY.

I'M LEVELING. WAIT TILL WE GET AROUND THIS TURN.

THEY'RE FOLLOWING US!

WELL, WE'LL GIVE THEM A RUN FOR IT.

THEY'RE GETTING AWAY! COME ON, COME ON! STOP CRAWLING!

STEP ON IT!

THEY'VE SHOT A HOLE THROUGH OUR GAS TANK.

OH.

HANG ON!

COME ON, COME ON, WILL YOU? THEY'RE OUT OF SIGHT!

YOU ALL RIGHT?

YEAH.

COME ON, ANN.

OH...

THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

HERE WE ARE. NOW...

TOO HEAVY?

NO.

YOU KNOW, I SHOULD HAVE A GUARDIAN. I'M JUST A BABE IN THE WOODS.

I'M JUST THINKING OF A LOT OF THINGS

I SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF BEFORE WE STARTED.

THIS WHOLE THING SOUNDS PHONY.

OH, BUT IT ISN'T. EVERY WORD I'VE TOLD YOU IS THE TRUTH.

NO. I DON'T MEAN YOU. I MEAN THOSE SO-CALLED FRIENDS OF YOURS.

THEY DIDN'T JUST HAPPEN TO SEE YOU ESCAPE.

MONK SHELBY AND HIS GANG MUST HAVE PLANNED THIS WHOLE THING.

MONK SHELBY HAS NO GANG.

HE'S JUST A SMALL-TIME RACKETEER AND A STOOL PIGEON.

WELL, THEN HE MUST BE WORKING FOR SOMEONE

WHO WANTS YOU OUT OF JAIL PRETTY BADLY.

YES, BUT WHO?

WELL, IF WE KNEW THAT, IT'D BE EASY.

AH, THEY MUST HAVE TURNED OFF THE HIGHWAY.

NO, THEY DIDN'T. I GOT A FLASH OF THE HEADLIGHTS

AFTER WE PASSED THE HIGHWAY.

AH, YOU'D BETTER TURN AROUND AND GO BACK.

THAT'S IT, ANDY. TURN ROUND.

THERE'S NOTHING THEY COULD GAIN FROM ME.

HMM. IT'S TOO DEEP.

HMM. RAIN. THAT'S ALL I NEED TO MAKE OUR DAY COMPLETE.

OH, LOOK!

OOH!

OOH, WHAT A NIGHT! ARE YOU SOAKED?

NO. I'M JUST A LITTLE DAMP AROUND THE EDGES.

OH.

OH!

SAY, IF I CAN GET TO THAT PHONE,

WE'LL HAVE PEEDLES COME OUT AND PICK US UP.

YEAH.

HEY! WHAT-HO!

WELL, I'VE DONE EVERYTHING ELSE TONIGHT. HERE GOES ILLEGAL ENTRY.

HEY!

MY GOODNESS, WHAT'S HAPPENED?

DID YOU HURT YOURSELF?

NO. I'M ALL RIGHT. SHUT THE DOOR.

OH, YES.

OH, A LANTERN. THIS'LL BE BETTER.

HERE WE ARE.

IS IT LIGHTED?

OH, HERE IT IS.

Tony: HUNDRED TO ONE YOU HAVEN'T GOT A NICKEL. NO.

WELL, MAYBE I CAN GET THE OPERATOR ANYWAY. IT HAS HAPPENED.

HELLO?

HELLO!

HELLO, OPERATOR!

AH, COME ON, TELEPHONE. GIVE OUT.

SAY, THERE'S AN IDEA.

NOT EVEN A HAIRPIN.

HAVE YOU A HAIRPIN?

I DON'T USE THEM.

SAY, ARE YOU HUNGRY?

NO. I HAD A CUP OF COFFEE IN MY CELL THIS MORNING.

WELL, MAYBE I'LL BLOW YOU TO DINNER AFTER ALL.

HERE, YOU LIGHT THIS GRIDDLE WHILE I FORAGE.

ALL RIGHT.

MATCHBOX.

FEELS GOOD.

HERE. TAKE A LITTLE OF THIS APPLE CIDER. IT MAY HELP.

THANK YOU.

HERE WE HAVE 4 HAMBURGERS, 4 HAMBURGERS,

AND 4 HAMBURGERS. WHAT'LL YOU HAVE?

UH, 4 HAMBURGERS.

4 HAMBURGERS IT IS.

WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO DO THAT?

CERTAINLY NOT.

WELL, I THINK THEY MIGHT TASTE BETTER IF YOU TOOK THE PAPER OFF.

YEAH. 4 HAMBURGERS AND 4 BUNS.

LOOKS LIKE THE GUY THAT RUNS THIS PLACE

MUST BE A PRETTY CLOSE BUYER.

DON'T EAT THOSE. YOU'LL SPOIL YOUR DINNER.

YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN THINKING.

I DON'T WANT YOU TO GET INVOLVED ANY FURTHER. IT'S NOT FAIR TO YOU.

IT'S A LITTLE LATE FOR THAT, ISN'T IT?

NO, NOT AT ALL.

WHY DON'T YOU JUST GO ON ALONE?

YOU'VE GOT NOTHING TO HIDE. YOU'LL FIND A FARMHOUSE SOMEWHERE,

AND THEY'LL BE GLAD TO TAKE YOU INTO TOWN.

YOU THINK I'D RUN OUT ON YOU IN A SPOT LIKE THIS?

DON'T YOU WORRY ABOUT ME. I CAN TAKE CARE OF MYSELF.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M GOING TO DO?

I'M GOING TO GO BACK TO THAT FARMHOUSE,

AND I'M GOING TO FIND MONK SHELBY.

I'LL SHOW THEM.

NOW, WAIT A MINUTE.

WHAT IS THAT YOU'RE DRINKING?

SAY, THAT'S NOT CIDER. IT'S APPLEJACK.

I DON'T CARE IF IT'S VINEGAR.

I'M GOING TO GO, AND I'M GOING TO CLEAN OUT THE WHOLE LOT OF THEM.

NOW, YOU LISTEN TO ME.

IT LOOKS LIKE THAT CAR THAT WAS FOLLOWING US. GET IN HERE, QUICK.

HURRY UP.

WE WOULDN'T HAVE MISSED IF YOU'D HAVE KEPT YOUR EYES OPEN.

OH, YEAH? WHAT WERE YOU USING YOUR EYES FOR?

OK, BOYS. TAKE IT EASY. THEY CAN'T GET VERY FAR WALKING.

GOOD EVENING, GENTS.

WHAT'S GOOD ABOUT IT? WHERE'S THE PHONE?

RHINELANDER 64222.

SAY, AIN'T I SEEN YOU SOMEPLACE?

WHO, ME? NO. I AIN'T NEVER BEEN NO PLACE.

BEEN HERE FOR 3 YEARS, MAN AND BOY.

I WOULDN'T SELL THE PLACE FOR LOVE NOR MONEY.

HELLO. 4222?

ANYBODY THERE WANT TO TALK TO JOE?

HAD ANY CUSTOMERS THIS EVENING?

OH, A FEW.

HIRAM HOFSTETTER WAS IN A WHILE BACK.

SEE ANYBODY YOU DIDN'T KNOW? FELLER AND A GIRL ON FOOT.

WELL, NO, I HAVEN'T,

BUT MAYBE MY WIFE DID.

ALICE?

YOU SEEN ANYTHING OF A YOUNG FELLA AND A GIRL ON FOOT?

SHUCKS, NO.

YOU KNOW AS WELL AS I DO

THERE AIN'T BEEN NOBODY HERE FOR HOURS.

LOCK UP SO WE CAN GO HOME!

ALL RIGHT. IN A MINUTE.

DO YOU HEAR THEM HICCUPS?

SHE'S GOT A WEAK STOMACH.

MAKES HER-MAKES HER SORT OF CRANKY.

HELLO? YEAH, THIS IS JOE.

WE MISSED.

THEY RUN OUT ON US.

YEAH, WE FOUND THEIR CAR.

IT'S IN A DITCH.

YEAH. IT WAS THE GUY THAT COME OUT WITH HER. HE GOT WISE.

BUT I GOT A GENERAL IDEA OF WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE.

AND I'LL TAKE GOOD CARE OF HIM, TOO.

HE WON'T MEDDLE IN NOBODY'S BUSINESS AGAIN.

OK, OK. I THOUGHT YOU'D WANT TO KNOW.

HEY, YOU. WHAT YOU GOT THERE?

HAMBURGERS.

MMM. SMELLS GOOD. GIVE US 3 OF THEM.

HOW MUCH?

30 CENTS.

AIN'T YOU GOT NOTHING SMALLER THAN 50 CENTS? I AIN'T GOT NO CHANGE.

HERE. I GOT IT. NEVER MIND, NEVER MIND.

JUST GIVE US THE OTHER HAMBURGER,

AND YOU CAN KEEP THE EXTRA DIME.

ALL RIGHT, BOYS. LET'S GO.

COME ON IN, WIFEY.

DID YOU EVER HEAR THAT NUMBER BEFORE - RHINELANDER 64222?

NOPE. THOSE WERE THE MEN THAT SHOT AT US, WEREN'T THEY?

YES. I COULD FORGIVE THEM FOR THAT,

BUT I'LL NEVER FORGET OUR HAMBURGERS.

YES, SIR. I DID WANT THOSE HAMBURGERS.

HERE-YOU'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THAT.

LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.

SAY, HERE'S $20 FOR THAT DOLLAR WE BROKE FROM THE APPLEJACK.

YOU KNOW I'VE GOT AN IDEA. WHAT?

WELL, IF I COULD GET YOU BACK TO MY BOATHOUSE,

YOU'D BE SAFE AT THE BOAT

UNTIL WE FIGURE THE WAY OUT OF THIS THING.

Man: PUT UP YOUR HANDS.

WHO ARE YOU?

I'M THE CONSTABLE OF THIS TOWNSHIP.

YOU'RE BOTH UNDER ARREST...

YES, BUT HE HASN'T DONE ANYTHING.

FOR BREAKING AND ENTERING MA PURDY'S STAND.

NOW, WAIT A MINUTE, OFFICER. WE HAVEN'T HURT ANYTHING.

UH, MY WIFE AND I WERE JUST, UH, HIKING,

AND WE CAME IN HERE TO GET OUT OF THE RAIN.

YOU'RE STILL TRESPASSING,

AND THE LOCK'S BROKEN.

OH, WELL, I PUT $20 IN THE CASH REGISTER TO PAY FOR THAT,

BUT IF IT ISN'T ENOUGH-

I AIN'T GOT NO AUTHORITY TO TAKE ANY MONEY.

YOU CAN SETTLE THAT WITH THE JUSTICE OF THE PEACE

IN THE MORNING.

AND DON'T YOU TRY TO BRIBE ME NEITHER.

APPLEJACK, HUH?

SUPPOSE YOU BEEN STEALING THAT.

WELL, OFFICER, IF YOU'D BEEN WANDERING AROUND THE RAIN ALL NIGHT

AND YOU'D FOUND SOME APPLEJACK, WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

YOU LOOK A LITTLE WET YOURSELF, OFFICER.

WHY DON'T YOU HAVE A LITTLE DRINK?

MAYBE I WILL.

IT'S LIKELY THE STUFF TO KEEP OFF A COLD.

WHOOSH.

THAT'S DARN GOOD APPLE.

MA PURDY HAS BEEN HOLDING OUT ON ME.

HERE, HERE, LET ME GIVE YOU SOME MORE.

JUST AS A PRECAUTION.

LET'S ALL HAVE A LITTLE DRINK.

DON'T YOU THINK YOU'VE HAD ENOUGH, DEAR?

EUSTACE, DO YOU WANT ME TO CATCH PNEUMONIA?

GO ON, YOUNG FELLA. POOR THE LITTLE WIFE A DRINK.

WELL...

HERE'S DOWN THE HATCH.

DOWN THE HATCH.

SAY, THIS IS ALL RIGHT.

I, UH, GUESS YOU FOLKS AIN'T IN ANY HURRY TO GO TO JAIL.

I AIN'T IN ANY HURRY TO TAKE YOU-

UH, NOT IN THIS RAIN, NOHOW.

BUT NO HOCUS-POCUSING,

AND YOU KEEP AWAY FROM THAT DOOR.

OH, WE WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING.

YOU DON'T MIND IF I PUT ON MY COAT, DO YOU?

GO AHEAD. GO AHEAD.

I KNEW YOU HAD A TENDER HEART, OFFICER.

WON'T YOU LET ME FILL YOUR GLASS UP?

YES, MA'AM.

A TENDER HEART AND A...

AN EYE FOR A PRETTY FACE.

Officer: "YOU RATS," I SAID, "ALL 6 OF YOU,

DROP THEM MACHINE GUNS AND PUT UP YOUR HANDS."

WELL...

WHEN THEM RATS SEEN WHO WAS TALKING TO THEM,

THEY JUST...

COWARD LIKE RATS.

I THINK THAT IS WONDERFUL.

MAGNIFICENT.

UH, THEN WHAT HAPPENED?

I TOLD THE GIRL I WAS MARRIED, AND IT BROKE HER HEART.

AW, THAT'S TOO BAD.

IT'S A SHAME.

A DRINK?

THANKS.

How do you feel?

I feel splendid.

Well, keep your chin up. It won't be long now.

HAPPY DAYS!

OH, HAPPY DAYS.

Look. The constable has passed out.

He seems to be done to a turn.

Hey, let's get out of here.

But how?

In his car.

You mean, you'll drive?

Certainly.

Yeah.

Shh.

HUH?

ALL RIGHT, DEAR. I'LL BE THERE IN A MINUTE.

YEAH. I THINK IT WAS VERY CLEVER.

WHAT WAS?

EVERYTHING.

NICE, CLEVER TONY.

ARE YOU STILL COLD?

NOW, DON'T MISTAKE THAT.

I'M STILL ENGAGED TO BETTY.

IT'S JUST THE KISS OF A BIG BROTHER.

AND THAT'S JUST THE KISS OF A LITTLE SISTER.

IS THAT THE WAY A LITTLE SISTER KISSES?

I DON'T KNOW. I NEVER HAD A LITTLE SISTER.

NEITHER DID I.

CONSTABLE'S CAR DOESN'T SEEM TO STEER VERY WELL, DOES IT?

NO.

LET'S SPELL MY INITIALS WITH IT.

A, N, N...

Man: HELLO? HELLO?

WHAT?

I CAN'T HEAR YOU?

THAT'S IT.

YOU LIKE THAT ONE?

WAIT JUST A MINUTE.

OH...

NO, NO, HE ISN'T HERE.

IS THAT TONY?

NO. AS NEAR AS I CAN FIGURE OUT

IT'S THE CLERK AT THE DESK.

SAYS THE PEOPLE DOWNSTAIRS DON'T LIKE STEVE'S DANCING.

TELL THEM TO MOVE IF THEY DON'T LIKE IT.

TELL THEM TO MOVE IF THEY DON'T LIKE.

GIVE ME THAT PHONE.

Steve: LET'S HAVE A LITTLE OF THAT HOT MUSIC...

HELLO, PEEDLES. IS MR. BAXTER THERE?

NO, MISS RANDOLPH. NO, NOT THAT I KNOW OF.

OH, NOW THAT I THINK OF IT,

HE SAID THIS MORNING THAT HE MIGHT BE GOING AWAY.

WHERE?

HE HAD SEVERAL PLACES IN MIND-

BERMUDA, ALASKA, MONTREAL,

AND HE SPOKE QUITE FAVORABLY

OF THE GRAND CANYON IN ARIZONA.

VERY WELL, MISS. I'LL TELL HIM.

COME ON, NOW. WHERE WAS THAT ROADSTER

AT 4:15 TODAY?

I WAS USING IT TO DO THE MARKETING-

OR WAS THAT 4:15 YESTERDAY?

THEN AGAIN, YOU KNOW...

IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE OTHER CAR.

SAY, FELLA, HOW ABOUT TRYING TO MAKE UP YOUR MIND?

NOW, LET ME SEE.

I REMEMBER I HAD A FINE FAT DUCK,

6 EARS OF SWEET ROASTING CORN, A HONEYDEW MELON,

LARGE PACKAGE OF SOAP CHIPS, AND-

OK. OK.

YES, SIR. THANK YOU, SIR.

Man: WELL, IS HE COMING OR ISN'T HE?

YES, SIR. NO, SIR.

THAT IS, I'M NOT SURE, SIR.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

UH, I THINK SO, SIR, FROM INDICATIONS.

WELL, HERE WE ARE.

OUR TROUBLES ARE OVER FOR A WHILE, I HOPE.

I HOPE SO.

WE GOT TO CHECK-IN

OR THEY'LL BE LOOKING FOR US, TOO.

DON'T YOU THINK I OUGHT TO STAY HERE IN CASE HE SHOWS UP?

NONE OF THAT. CASEY TOLD US TO BE BACK-

BOTH OF US.

WELL, OF COURSE, GENTLEMEN, I DON'T KNOW WHO CASEY IS,

BUT I SUPPOSE IF HE TOLD YOU TO BE BACK,

WELL, THEN, YOU BETTER BE BACK.

GOOD NIGHT, GENTLEMEN.

HEY, WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA, PEEDLES,

YOU TRYING TO GAIN A MUSICAL EDUCATION BY SHEER FORCE?

NO, SIR.

WE COULD HEAR THAT RACKET WAY OUT IN THE CHANNEL.

YES, SIR. I HEARD YOU, TOO, SIR.

THAT'S WHY I TURNED IT UP.

WELL, IT'S NICE OF YOU TO GIVE US AN ENTRANCE.

ONLY NEXT TIME, JUST SHOOT OFF A CANNON. IT'S LESS OSTENTATIOUS.

AND PEEDLES I-

DON'T LOOK SO STARTLED.

YOU'VE SEEN MISS GREY BEFORE.

YES, SIR. THAT'S JUST IT SIR, I-

WELL, UH, MISS GREY WOULD ENJOY A POT OF VERY FRESH,

VERY HOT COFFEE.

YES, SIR, BUT THAT IS-

WELL, THEN, RUN ALONG AND FETCH IT.

HURRY UP. HURRY UP.

YES, SIR.

WHERE DID YOU GET THIS?

FROM THE DESK IN YOUR APARTMENT.

YOU HAD IT IN YOUR POCKET ALL THE TIME?

WHY DIDN'T YOU GIVE IT TO ME WHEN THAT GANG WAS CHASING US?

I DIDN'T THINK OF IT.

BESIDES, I WOULDN'T HAVE LET YOU USE IT ANYWAY.

WHAT ARE YOU CARRYING IT AROUND FOR?

BECAUSE I MADE MYSELF A PROMISE-

THAT I'D NEVER LET THEM TAKE ME BACK TO THAT JAIL.

OH, I'M ASHAMED OF YOU. THAT'S A QUITTER'S WAY OUT.

AFTER ALL, THERE'S STILL MONK SHELBY TO FIND.

POLICE COULDN'T FIND HIM AND NEITHER COULD WE.

WELL, YOU KNOW, I HAVE A HUNCH THAT

THAT TELEPHONE NUMBER WILL TELL US A LOT OF THINGS

THE POLICE DON'T KNOW.

WHAT TELEPHONE NUMBER?

RHINELANDER 64222. NOW, YOU COME ALONG WITH ME.

TAKE IT EASY.

I'LL BE BACK IN A LITTLE WHILE.

OH, SAY, IF YOU'RE STILL DAMP,

YOU'LL FIND SOME THINGS IN THE CLOSET THERE

YOU CAN WEAR UNTIL YOUR CLOTHES DRY OUT.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

GOOD-BYE. BYE.

Psst. Psst.

Mr. Baxter.

SAY, WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU?

I THOUGHT YOU'D WANT TO KNOW, SIR.

THE POLICE WERE HERE.

LOOKING FOR MISS GREY?

NOT EXACTLY, SIR. THEY WERE CONCERNED OVER THE WHEREABOUTS

OF THE ROADSTER. MISS GREY WAS NOT MENTIONED.

OH, WOW.

OH, AND MISS BETTY CALLED, SIR-TWICE FROM THE APARTMENT.

SHE WAS NOT PLEASED.

OH. WELL, IF SHE CALLS AGAIN, TELL HER I'M ON MY WAY THERE.

IF THE POLICE COME BACK, TELL THEM I'VE GONE TO MY APARTMENT.

I'LL COME BACK AS SOON AS I EXPLAIN THINGS TO MISS BETTY.

YES, SIR.

OH, MR. BAXTER, HERE'S THE LOCATION OF THAT NUMBER YOU WANTED.

IT'S A PAY PHONE IN THE SHOW BOAT CAFE.

HMM. THANKS VERY MUCH.

HELLO, BAXTER.

OH, HELLO. HOW ARE YOU?

GOT A MOMENT TO SPARE?

NO. I'M SORRY I HAVEN'T JUST NOW.

WELL, THAT'S TOO BAD. THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY

WANTED TO SEE YOU, AND I'D HATE TO DISAPPOINT HIM.

D.A. IS A PERSONAL FRIEND OF MINE.

I'LL DROP AROUND AND SEE HIM IN THE MORNING.

NO, YOU WON'T. YOU'RE RIDING WITH US NOW.

IS THIS AN ARREST?

FIGURE IT OUT ON THE WAY DOWN.

HERE WE ARE, MISS.

MUST BE A GREAT PLEASURE, PEEDLES - WORKING FOR MR. BAXTER.

PLEASURE, MISS? IT'S A PRIVILEGE.

HE HAS THE GOLDEN HEART OF A LITTLE CHILD.

YES. HE'S A WONDERFUL PERSON.

I DIDN'T REALIZE I-

I HOPE I DIDN'T GET HIM INTO ANY TROUBLE ON MY ACCOUNT.

TROUBLE, MISS? HE ENJOYS IT. THAT'S HIS NATURE-

INTERESTED IN HUMANITY.

WHY, I'VE KNOWN HIM STOP AND BUY A BIT OF LIVER SPECIAL

FOR A STRAY CAT.

SO HE'S INTERESTED IN STRAY CATS, IS HE?

CATS, DOGS, ALLIGATORS, TROPICAL FISH-

OH, HE'S A GREAT ONE FOR PETS, MR. BAXTER IS.

YOU KNOW, ONCE WE HAD A TRAINED BEAR.

UH, YOU POP IN HERE, MISS.

IT'S THOSE TROOPERS AGAIN.

OOH.

I SHALL HAVE TO SPREAD FLEAS ACROSS THEIR TRAIL, IN A MANNER OF SPEAKING.

OH, MISS RANDOLPH, YOU CAN'T COME IN HERE.

WHY CAN'T I?

W- W-WELL, I'M ALL ALONE.

UH, THAT IS, MR. BAXTER ISN'T HERE.

ALL RIGHT, THEN. I'LL WAIT TILL HE GETS HERE.

OH, BUT THAT'LL BE PRACTICALLY TEDIOUS, MISS.

HE MENTIONED SOMETHING ABOUT

SPENDING THE NIGHT IN A TURKISH BATH.

PEEDLES, YOU'RE AN UNMITIGATED LIAR.

TONY BAXTER NEVER TOOK A TURKISH BATH IN HIS LIFE.

LOOK ME IN THE EYE.

THERE'S A WOMAN IN THIS HOUSE.

IF I MAY SAY SO, MISS,

A VERY CHARMING ONE SINCE YOU CAME IN.

OH, MISS RANDOLPH. THIS IS MY COUSIN, MARIGOLD.

HOW DO YOU DO?

WE WERE JUST HAVING A BIT OF A CHAT.

YOUR COUSIN MARIGOLD, MY AUNT EMILY. GET OUT OF HERE.

VERY GOOD, MISS.

I'M BETTY RANDOLPH, MR. BAXTER'S FIANCEE.

YES. I KNOW.

I JUST WANT TO CONFIRM MY SUSPICIONS THAT HE WAS CARRYING ON-

OH, BUT YOU'RE WRONG. YOU'RE WRONG.

MR. BAXTER WAS JUST TRYING TO HELP ME.

OH, I SEE. I SUPPOSE YOU'RE GOING TO TELL ME YOU'RE JUST A CLIENT.

YES. YES, IT WAS A- A LEGAL MATTER.

JUST WHAT LEGAL MATTER REQUIRES YOU TO APPEAR

IN TONY'S BEDROOM AT MIDNIGHT

IN A DRESSING GOWN I GAVE HIM.

I, UH, I ADMIT IT DOES LOOK STRANGE, MISS RANDOLPH,

BUT IT WASN'T MR. BAXTER'S FAULT.

IT WAS ALL VERY HURRIED, AND HE'S BEEN TRYING

TO GET YOU ALL EVENING ON THE TELEPHONE.

HOW VERY CONSIDERATE OF HIM.

OH, BUT, PLEASE. PLEASE, MISS RANDOLPH...

YOU MUST NOT LEAVE, BELIEVING AS YOU DO.

IT ISN'T FAIR TO MR. BAXTER

OR TO YOURSELF.

MISS RANDOLPH...

I'M ANN GREY.

ANN GREY, THE GIRL WHO SHOT-

BUT I DIDN'T.

AND MR. BAXTER KNOWS I DIDN'T.

THAT'S WHY I'M HERE.

DO YOU SEE?

HELLO.

OH, IT'S YOU, MR. BAXTER.

I'M EXPECTING MISS RANDOLPH. SHE'LL BE THERE ANY MINUTE,

AND SHE'D BE VERY UPSET TO FIND THINGS AS THEY ARE.

SO, UH, GET THE PLACE CLEANED UP AS QUICKLY AS YOU CAN. YOU UNDERSTAND?

A LITTLE TOO LATE TO COVER UP, TONY.

I'M HERE, AND I'VE SEEN EVERYTHING.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF A FOOL YOU TAKE ME FOR-

BETTY...

PLEASE.

I CAN EXPLAIN EVERYTHING.

THE SITUATION DOESN'T NEED ANY EXPLAINING. IT'S QUITE OBVIOUS.

AND DON'T TELL ME YOUR INTEREST IS PURELY PROFESSIONAL

BECAUSE YOU NEVER HANDLE CRIMINAL CASES.

AND IF SHE WASN'T SO CHEAPLY PRETTY,

YOU WOULDN'T BE HANDLING THIS ONE.

ALL RIGHT. I'LL GIVE YOU EXACTLY 15 MINUTES TO GET OUT HERE.

PLEASE WAIT FOR ME. I'LL BE THERE AS QUICKLY AS I CAN.

I'M IN THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE.

YOU REMEMBER MARTIN? HE'S AN OLD FRIEND OF MINE.

HE WANTS ME TO HELP HIM OUT ON A VERY IMPORTANT CASE.

I- I CAN'T LET HIM DOWN.

YOU JUST DEVOTE YOUR LIFE TO HELPING OTHER PEOPLE, DON'T YOU?

WHY DON'T YOU TELL THE TRUTH, YOU'VE BEEN ARRESTED?

WELL...

SOMETHING LIKE THAT. OH, BUT IT'S NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.

I'LL GIVE YOU A CHOICE, TONY, EITHER YOU SURRENDER THIS GIRL

AND GET YOURSELF OUT OF THIS MESS,

OR I'M GOING BACK TO MIAMI.

BETTY!

I CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER. TELL THE D.A. I'LL BE BACK.

SUPPOSE YOU TELL HIM THAT YOURSELF.

SORRY TO HAVE KEPT YOU WAITING.

WHAT'S THE IDEA OF GETTING ME DOWN HERE AT THIS HOUR?

CAN'T YOU GUESS? NO.

COLLINS TELLS ME YOU WERE ENTERTAINING

A LADY IN YOUR APARTMENT THIS AFTERNOON.

WHO WAS SHE?

WHY DON'T YOU ASK COLLINS? HE HAD A GOOD LOOK.

VERY SUCCESSFUL WITH THE LADIES, AREN'T YOU, BAXTER?

HOW DO YOU DO IT?

IT'S A TRADE SECRET.

WELL, I SUPPOSE THOSE SNAPPY CARS YOU DRIVE

HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT.

YEAH, THEY HELP.

GOT THEM INSURED?

CERTAINLY.

THAT'S GOOD

BECAUSE IT'S GONNA COST YOU PLENTY TO FIX UP

THE BULLETS IN THAT COUPE' OF YOURS.

WHAT BULLET HOLES?

DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT A MAN NAMED MONK SHELBY EITHER, DO YOU?

NO. WHAT ABOUT HIM?

YOU DON'T KNOW HE WAS FOUND IN A DITCH

A MILE FROM YOUR CAR WITH 8 BULLET HOLES IN HIM?

YOU'RE IN A SPOT, BAXTER. WHERE DID YOU HIDE ANN GREY?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING-

OH, COME NOW. WE KNOW THAT YOU DROVE HER OUT

IN THE COUNTRY AND HID HER SOMEWHERE.

ARE YOU ACCUSING ME OF AIDING A FUGITIVE?

YES. WHERE IS SHE?

NOW, LOOK HERE, MARTIN. YOU CAN'T BLUFF ME.

I'M NOT SOME HOBO YOU PICKED UP OFF THE STREET

JUST BECAUSE YOU FOUND MY CAR AND SOME RACKETEER ALL SHOT UP,

THERE'S NO REASON FOR TYING ANN GREY TO ME.

NO, MAYBE NOT.

BUT IF WE FIND HER FINGER PRINTS ALL OVER YOUR CAR,

THAT'LL PROVE SOMETHING, WOULDN'T IT?

I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

HELLO.

THIS IS ANN GREY SPEAKING.

WHAT'S THAT?

I'VE BEEN TRYING TO RETAIN ATTORNEY BAXTER AS MY ATTORNEY.

HE ADVISED ME TO SURRENDER MYSELF TO YOU.

I'VE DECIDED TO TAKE HIS ADVICE.

IF YOU WILL COME TO HIS BOATHOUSE-

ALL RIGHT. YES, I KNOW WHERE IT IS.

OK.

UH...

WHERE WERE WE?

OH, YES, YES, YES, YES, YOU WERE SAYING

THAT YOU DIDN'T KNOW WHERE ANN GREY IS.

NO. I HAVEN'T THE SLIGHTEST IDEA.

WELL, I GUESS YOU WIN, BAXTER.

I WAS TRYING TO BLUFF YOU, BUT IT DIDN'T WORK.

SORRY TO HAVE TROUBLED YOU.

MAY I GO NOW?

CERTAINLY.

I'LL DROP YOU OFF.

OH, THAT'S ALL RIGHT. I'LL JUST CALL A TAXI.

NO, NONSENSE. IT'S A PLEASURE.

BUT I'M NOT GOING TO MY APARTMENT.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT. I'LL DROP YOU OFF WHEREVER YOU ARE GOING.

IT'S THE LEASE I CAN DO FOR DRAGGING YOU DOWN HERE AT THIS HOUR.

AAH!

HERE! YOU CAN'T DO THAT!

WELL, THANKS AGAIN.

NO, NOT AT ALL. NOT AT ALL.

COME ON, FELLAS.

WHAT'S THE IDEA OF THIS?

ANN GREY IS IN THAT HOUSE, AND WE WANT HER.

NOW, YOU'RE MISTAKEN.

IT'S NO USE, BAXTER. YOU SEE,

SHE TELEPHONED ME TO COME HERE AND GET HER.

WHAT THE...

IS HE DEAD?

NO. IT LOOKS LIKE HE'S SHOT THROUGH THE SHOULDER.

WHO IS THIS FELLA?

MY BUTLER. HERE, GIVE ME A HAND.

HELP ME PUT HIM ON THE COUCH.

NO, NO, NO. YOU BETTER LEAVE HIM WHERE HE IS.

GET A DOCTOR.

WELL, THERE'S A DR. GRIFFITH DOWN THE ROAD.

GET HIM.

YES, SIR.

ANN!

ANN!

ANN!

ANN!

WHAT'S THAT?

"I'M SORRY IT HAD TO END THIS WAY... "

I'D THINK SHE WOULD BE A LITTLE BIT SORRY.

SHE DIDN'T SHOOT HIM. WHEN SHE WROTE THAT NOTE,

SHE INTENDED TO KILL HERSELF.

YEAH. WITH WHAT?

WITH MY GUN. I TOOK IT AWAY FROM HER.

YOU FOOL.

YOU KNEW WHEN YOU BROUGHT HER UP HERE,

YOU WERE SHIELDING A KILLER. THAT WASN'T ENOUGH,

SO YOU HAD TO FURNISH HER WITH A GUN.

IT'S TOO BAD THAT SOMEONE ELSE HAS TO SUFFER

FOR YOUR STUPIDITY.

I'VE GOT IT.

THEY FOLLOWED BETTY UP HERE.

WHO FOLLOWED BETTY UP HERE?

THOSE THUGS THAT SHOT AT US. THEY SHOT HIM, TOO.

AW, WHY DON'T YOU GIVE IT UP?

THE GUN'S GONE, AND THE GIRL'S GONE.

YOUR BUTLER TRIED TO STOP HER, SO SHE...

SHOT HIM.

NO, NO. THAT GIRL WOULDN'T HARM ANYONE.

BESIDES, IF SHE WERE TRYING TO ESCAPE THE POLICE,

WHY WOULD SHE CALL YOU?

YOUR FATAL FASCINATION, BAXTER.

THE GIRL IS IN LOVE WITH YOU AND TRIED TO CLEAR YOU.

HE BADLY HURT, DOCTOR?

WELL, HE'S STILL BREATHING.

HOW LONG BEFORE HE'LL BE ABLE TO TALK?

I CAN TELL YOU BETTER AFTER I GET HIM PATCHED UP.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

I'M GOING TO FIND ANN GREY.

YOU AREN'T GOING ANYWHERE.

YOU'RE UNDER ARREST.

MARTIN, YOU'VE GOT TO DO ME A FAVOR.

I AM DOING YOU A FAVOR.

NO, YOU BETTER SCRATCH THIS GIRL OFF YOUR LIST, BAXTER.

FOR YOUR OWN GOOD I'M GONNA KEEP YOU LOCKED UP

UNTIL WE FIND HER BEFORE SHE SHOOTS YOU, TOO.

BUT SHE DIDN'T SHOOT MY BUTLER OR THE OTHERS EITHER.

NO? WELL, SHERLOCK HOLMES, WHO DID?

I DON'T KNOW.

YOU DON'T KNOW. THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT.

BUT IF YOU GIVE ME A COUPLE OF MEN,

I THINK I CAN FIND OUT WHO DID.

WHERE WOULD YOU START?

I'D START AT THE SHOW BOAT CAFE.

WANT TO GET THERE, YOU CALL THIS NUMBER

AND ASK IF ANYONE THERE WANTS TO SPEAK TO JOE.

I'LL BE THERE TO SEE WHO ANSWERS THE PHONE.

AND IF IT'S A MAN WITH A LONG BLACK BEARD,

I'LL TELL HIM BENNY SENT ME.

NO, MARTIN, I'M SERIOUS.

ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. SOMEONE ANSWERS THE TELEPHONE, THEN WHAT?

THAT'S THE MAN THEY WORK FOR?

WHO WORKS FOR? THE THUGS.

WHAT THUGS?! THE THUGS THAT CALLED THAT NUMBER.

OH, LOCK THIS LUNATIC UP...

BEFORE HE GETS ME TALKING THAT WAY.

I'M WARNING YOU. YOU BETTER DO SOMETHING

ABOUT ANN GREY AND DO IT MIGHTY QUICK,

OR YOU'LL FIND HER IN A DITCH

WHERE YOU DID MONK SHELBY.

AND EVEN YOU SHOULDN'T BE STUPID ENOUGH

TO THINK SHE DID THAT.

NOW, JUST A MINUTE, BAXTER, TAKE IT EASY. COME ON.

BEALE, GET ME BELLEVUE HOSPITAL.

YES, SIR.

ALL RIGHT, SISTER, COME ON.

HE WANTS ANOTHER THOUSAND DOLLARS IOU, CAN HE GET IT?

HOW MUCH HE OWE NOW?

8,000.

ALL RIGHT. LET HIM PLAY ANOTHER GRAND, BUT THAT'S THE LIMIT.

OK, CHIEF.

HERE SHE IS, BOSS.

WELL, I'D ALMOST LOST HOPE.

COME ON AND SIT DOWN.

THAT'S A GOOD GIRL. OH, YOU CAN GO, JOE.

YOU CERTAINLY MAKE IT HARD

FOR PEOPLE TO DO FAVORS FOR YOU.

YOU'VE DONE NO FAVORS FOR ME, SMILEY GORDON.

YES. WHO FIXED THAT TRUCK TO KNOCK OVER THE POLICE CAR

DOWN AT THE COURTHOUSE?

YOU DID THAT?

I TOLD YOU I'D TAKE CARE OF YOU.

YOU'RE ALL SET TO SLIP OFF

TO EUROPE THROUGH CANADA.

AND I'LL SEE THAT YOU STEP OFF THAT GANGPLANK

WITH A NICE PIECE OF CHANGE.

AND WHAT'S THE CATCH?

YOU KNOW WHAT'S THE CATCH.

OH, COME ON, ANN.

THERE'S NO USE STALLING.

MONK SHELBY RATTED.

HE TOLD US THAT ARNOLD GAVE YOU THOSE BONDS TO SOAK.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT-

ONLY THEY WEREN'T ARNOLD'S BONDS, SEE.

THEY BELONG TO ME.

HE COULD HAVE HAD HALF FOR PEDDLING THEM,

BUT HE WANTED THE WHOLE THING.

ARNOLD WASN'T ON THE LEVEL, ANN.

DON'T YOU BE LIKE THAT.

YOU KILLED TED ARNOLD.

WELL, I WOULDN'T SAY THAT IF I WERE YOU.

THE JURY SAID YOU DID- YES, BUT YOU KNOW-

A QUARTER OF A MILLION WON'T HELP YOU ANY

WHEN THEY TURN ON THAT JUICE.

COME ON, ANN. TELL ME-WHERE ARE THE BONDS?

I DON'T KNOW.

IF I DID, I WOULDN'T TELL YOU NOW.

YOU'RE A LIEUTENANT, AREN'T YOU, COLLINS?

NOT YET.

IF THEY CAPTURED THE GANG THAT KILLED TED ARNOLD,

YOU WOULD BE A LIEUTENANT, WOULDN'T YOU?

WHY DON'T YOU STOP TALKING LIKE THAT, MR. BAXTER.

IT'LL ONLY GET YOU A PADDED CELL.

BOY, WHAT A BUMP!

WHAT'S THE IDEA?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

YOU KNOCKED MY HAT OFF.

OH, I DID?

OH, I'M SORRY. I'LL GET IT.

NO, YOU DON'T. YOU STAY RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE.

I'LL GET IT MYSELF.

HEY! HEY! COME BACK WITH THAT CAR!

HEY! YOU-

IS JOE AROUND?

WHY, UH-

NO, SIR. I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM.

HAVE YOU A PAY PHONE HERE?

YES, SIR. IN THE WASHROOM RIGHT OVER THERE.

THANKS.

I TELL YOU, TED ARNOLD DIDN'T GIVE ME THE BOND.

HE DIDN'T GIVE THEM TO ME!

SAY, THAT GUY BAXTER'S DOWNSTAIRS

SNIFFING AROUND.

WELL, THAT'S GOOD. IT SAVES ME

THE TROUBLE OF LOOKING FOR HIM.

COME HERE. I'LL TELL YOU WHAT YOU DO.

OH, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO TO HIM?

TONY BAXTER KNOWS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT THIS.

I SWEAR TO YOU HE DOESN'T.

I'M NOT TAKING ANY CHANCES.

YOU LEAVE HIM ALONE! YOU'LL JUST GET INTO TROUBLE IF YOU HURT HIM.

YOU KILL HIM AND YOU'LL HAVE THE WHOLE TOWN AFTER YOU.

THANK YOU, SIR.

HELLO, DEAR.

HELLO?

DOES ANYONE THERE WANT TO SPEAK TO JOE?

I DON'T KNOW MR. JOE.

YOU ALL WAIT,

AND I'LL SEE IF THE BOSS IS IN.

NO, DARLING. I'M AFRAID I WON'T BE ABLE TO MAKE IT.

MR. JOE...

HOW CAN YOU BE HERE

AND ON THE PHONE IN THERE AT THE SAME TIME?

WHAT'S THAT?

GET IN THERE AND KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT.

YES.

THAT'S HIM.

Baxter: I'M SORRY, DEAR. BUT THIS IS BUSINESS.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT I CAN DO ABOUT IT.

NO.

ALL RIGHT. THEN I'LL CALL YOU LATER.

GOOD-BYE.

ARE YOU LOOKING FOR ANN GREY?

WHY... YES.

ALL RIGHT. THIS WAY.

SAY, WAIT A MINUTE. WHERE IS SHE?

RIGHT BACK HERE IN SMILEY'S OFFICE.

ANN!

WHY, TONY!

ANN, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

LOOK, I'M JUST SPILLING MY DRINK.

YES, OF COURSE I'M ALL RIGHT.

I WAS WORRIED ABOUT YOU.

I'M SORRY TO HAVE LEFT YOU LIKE THAT

BUT IT WAS GETTING A LITTLE BIT WARM AROUND YOUR PLACE,

SO I THOUGHT I'D BETTER GO.

WILL YOU HAVE A DRINK?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

OOH, WAITING FOR SOME FRIENDS OF MINE.

YOU'VE BEEN A GREAT HELP, TONY, AND I'M VERY GRATEFUL.

BUT NOW YOU MUST RUN ALONG

AND PRETEND YOU'VE NEVER MET ME.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?

OH, JUST, UM, DISAPPEAR.

YOU MEAN YOU'RE GOING TO RUN AWAY

AND HIDE THE REST OF YOUR LIFE

INSTEAD OF TRYING TO CLEAR YOURSELF?

WHAT ABOUT YOUR ALIBI?

I HAVE NO ALIBI, TONY.

I KILLED TED ARNOLD.

HE, UM, TRIED TO RUN OUT ON ME,

SO I-I KILLED HIM.

THEN YOU'VE BEEN PLAYING ME FOR A SAP.

I WOULDN'T SAY THAT.

I HAD TO MAKE YOU THINK I WAS INNOCENT

OR YOU WOULDN'T HAVE HELPED ME, WOULD YOU?

TONY, PLEASE GO.

I'M TERRIBLY GRATEFUL TO YOU, BUT-

THERE'S NOTHING MORE FOR ME TO SAY.

WHAT ABOUT MONK SHELBY?

I MADE THAT UP.

THERE IS NO MONK SHELBY.

THAT'S RIGHT. BUT THERE WAS

UNTIL THESE HYENAS SHOT HIM AND THREW HIM INTO A DITCH-

OH, TONY - WHOEVER RUNS THIS PLACE

IS THE HEAD OF THE GANG WE GOT AWAY FROM-

TONY!

Smiley: WELL, YOU'RE PRETTY GOOD

AT FIGURING THINGS OUT, AREN'T YOU?

NO, SMILEY, YOU CAN'T!

I'M SORRY. BUT YOU SEE HOW IT IS.

SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T PAY TO BE TOO SMART.

YEAH?

Man: THE D.A. JUST CAME IN WITH A COUPLE OF DICKS.

STALL HIM.

TAKE THEM DOWN THAT WAY.

WELL, I'M TELLING YOU,

I'M SURE YOU WON'T FIND THEM IN HERE, MR. MARTIN.

THE BOSS AIN'T IN, IS HE?

NO. HE WENT UPTOWN ABOUT 20 MINUTES AGO.

WELL, WE MAY AS WELL MAKE SURE ANYWAY.

IF YOU'D COME INTO THE RESTAURANT, MR. MARTIN,

I'LL FIND YOU A NICE TABLE

AND TRY AND LOCATE THE BOSS FOR YOU.

WELL, YOU GONNA WALK OR YOU WANT TO BE CARRIED?

HE WON'T BE BACK TONIGHT.

HE WENT ON HOME.

OH, HELLO, CHIEF.

HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU BOYS,

I'M NEVER OUT TO MR. MARTIN?

COME ON IN, CHIEF.

THOSE DUMB MUGS-

I GOT TO APOLOGIZE FOR THEM.

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

ANYTHING ON YOUR MIND?

OH, DO YOU KNOW TONY BAXTER?

BAXTER?

THE GUY THAT RUNS THE CLEANING AND DYING RACKET?

NO, NO. NO, NOT THAT FELLOW.

WAIT A MINUTE.

COME ON, YOU.

GIVE ME THAT ROPE.

PUT YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOUR BACK.

PUT YOU HANDS BEHIND YOUR BACK-

HEY! TAKE IT EASY-

I WOULDN'T DO THAT.

NICE OFFICE YOU GOT HERE.

WHAT'S THROUGH THERE?

OH, THE CAFE.

WHERE DOES THIS DOOR LEAD TO?

THAT USED TO LEAD TO A BOAT LANDING,

BUT WE DON'T USE IT ANYMORE.

MAY I OFFER YOU BOYS A LITTLE DRINK?

FOR ME? THANKS, NO.

NOW, GET IN THAT BOAT.

COME ON! GET IN THAT BOAT.

COME ON, FELLOW. ON YOUR WAY.

LOOK OUT, TONY!

YOU DON'T MIND IF I HAVE A LOOK IN HERE?

COME ON, SMILEY.

OPEN UP.

I WOULDN'T DO THAT IF I WERE YOU, MR. MARTIN.

YOU'LL GET YOURSELF ALL DIRTY.

BESIDES THERE ARE NO LIGHTS.

YOU HEARD WHAT HE SAID.

OPEN UP.

WHY, CERTAINLY.

JOE, LOOK!

COPPERS! TURN AROUND! BEAT IT!

CROSS THE BOW!

WHAT ARE YOU STOPPING FOR?

WE CAN'T GET AWAY. THEY'LL CUT US IN 2.

GET BACK ON TO THAT PIER!

ALL RIGHT. THEY ASKED FOR IT.

LET THEM HAVE IT.

SO, SMILEY-

SHUT UP AND BACK UP!

WAIT A MINUTE, BOYS. WAIT A MINUTE.

TAKE IT EASY. COME ON.

I GOT HIM, CHIEF. I GOT HIM.

HEY, NOW, WAIT A MINUTE-

DON'T YOU START WITH ME.

NO, NO, COLLINS.

DON'T BREAK THE LITTLE LADY'S HAND.

HELLO, MS. GREY.

HELLO.

WELL, YOU BROKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH ME THIS EVENING.

MARTIN, YOU'RE WRONG. SHE DIDN'T DO IT, I TELL YOU.

I KNOW IT. I'M ARRESTING SMILEY GORDON

FOR THE MURDER OF TED ARNOLD.

IT'LL TAKE A WISER GUY THAN YOU ARE TO HANG THIS ON ME.

OH, I'M DISAPPOINTED IN YOU, SMILEY.

YOU SLIPPED UP BADLY WHEN YOU TRIED TO MOP OFF

MONK SHELBY BECAUSE HE'S STILL ALIVE

IN BELLEVUE HOSPITAL.

HE WAS CONSCIOUS LONG ENOUGH TO MAKE A SIGNED STATEMENT.
