1
00:01:19,563 --> 00:01:21,541
Take your time now.
2
00:01:21,565 --> 00:01:23,098
Take your time.
3
00:01:24,467 --> 00:01:27,313
Give me ten gallons, high-test.
4
00:01:27,337 --> 00:01:29,817
Ain't got no high-test.
5
00:01:32,126 --> 00:01:34,804
Why do I bother to trade here?
6
00:01:35,829 --> 00:01:38,007
You try and find
another gas station
7
00:01:38,031 --> 00:01:39,848
within 20 miles.
8
00:01:41,886 --> 00:01:45,031
Hey. Did you hear
about Chuck Clark?
9
00:01:45,055 --> 00:01:46,166
What about him?
10
00:01:46,190 --> 00:01:47,417
He's back.
11
00:01:47,441 --> 00:01:50,001
Got back about six weeks ago.
12
00:01:52,947 --> 00:01:54,190
What did you say?
13
00:01:54,214 --> 00:01:55,725
You heard me.
14
00:02:04,441 --> 00:02:05,685
Harry!
15
00:02:05,709 --> 00:02:08,443
Chuck's back!
16
00:02:14,685 --> 00:02:15,662
Where did you hear
17
00:02:15,686 --> 00:02:17,564
about Chuck?
18
00:02:17,588 --> 00:02:20,817
Too bad you gotta get
your news secondhand.
19
00:02:20,841 --> 00:02:23,653
And you, his partner.
20
00:02:23,677 --> 00:02:25,855
You ought to see his new wife.
21
00:02:25,879 --> 00:02:27,624
Young enough to be his kid.
22
00:02:27,648 --> 00:02:28,792
You're a liar.
23
00:02:28,816 --> 00:02:30,293
He bought the Brandywine Estate
24
00:02:30,317 --> 00:02:33,563
over in Palm Valley
for $200,000 cash.
25
00:02:33,587 --> 00:02:35,654
His new brother-in-law
handled the deal.
26
00:02:37,090 --> 00:02:38,100
Yeah, it's too bad that...
27
00:02:38,124 --> 00:02:39,502
You know, that you
ain't good enough
28
00:02:39,526 --> 00:02:41,159
to get invited out there.
29
00:02:42,463 --> 00:02:43,707
Do you wanna drive?
30
00:02:54,841 --> 00:02:56,241
Hey.
31
00:03:39,970 --> 00:03:41,948
What are you
doing with my diary?
32
00:03:41,972 --> 00:03:43,817
Uh, I'm reading
it, obviously. You...
33
00:03:43,841 --> 00:03:44,984
Better wait here, Nell.
34
00:03:45,008 --> 00:03:46,987
Don't do anything
foolish, Harry.
35
00:03:47,011 --> 00:03:49,255
Ooh, give me that. I
will when I finish with it.
36
00:03:49,279 --> 00:03:51,199
Look, honey, this i...
37
00:03:54,818 --> 00:03:56,058
Where's Chuck Clark?
38
00:03:57,321 --> 00:03:58,798
Well, he's in Los Angeles.
39
00:03:58,822 --> 00:04:01,034
His nephew, Bill Shayne, around?
40
00:04:01,058 --> 00:04:03,502
No, he's with Chuck.
41
00:04:03,526 --> 00:04:04,526
I'm Harry Bright.
42
00:04:06,113 --> 00:04:07,512
Hooray for you.
43
00:04:09,149 --> 00:04:10,794
Mr. Bright, I'm Margaret Clark,
44
00:04:10,818 --> 00:04:12,128
Chuck's wife.
45
00:04:12,152 --> 00:04:14,564
This is my brother,
Howard Roper.
46
00:04:14,588 --> 00:04:16,933
How much you figure you're
gonna get out of Chuck...
47
00:04:16,957 --> 00:04:18,818
for selling him your sister?
48
00:04:28,418 --> 00:04:30,938
Howard!
49
00:04:37,260 --> 00:04:40,239
Now, you ever lay another
finger on me, mister...
50
00:04:40,263 --> 00:04:41,997
and you won't live to regret it.
51
00:04:43,901 --> 00:04:44,878
You wouldn't have
52
00:04:44,902 --> 00:04:47,462
nerve enough to use that.
53
00:04:51,959 --> 00:04:54,603
Now, you just tell
your husband...
54
00:04:54,627 --> 00:04:57,128
Harry Bright dropped
around to pay his respects.
55
00:05:44,728 --> 00:05:46,439
You calling me an old fool?
56
00:05:46,463 --> 00:05:47,540
Sure I am.
57
00:05:47,564 --> 00:05:49,075
Chuck Clark. Ha!
58
00:05:49,099 --> 00:05:50,343
In his second childhood.
59
00:05:50,367 --> 00:05:51,344
Look at them clothes.
60
00:05:51,368 --> 00:05:53,479
You going to a...
A sweet-16 party?
61
00:05:53,503 --> 00:05:55,548
Your child bride must
be real proud of you.
62
00:05:55,572 --> 00:05:56,583
You better stop talking
63
00:05:56,607 --> 00:05:58,050
about my wife like that,
64
00:05:58,074 --> 00:06:00,186
or I'll pull your tongue
right out of your empty head!
65
00:06:00,210 --> 00:06:02,154
Now wait a minute.
66
00:06:02,178 --> 00:06:03,856
You two ought to be
ashamed of yourselves.
67
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,991
Ashamed? You're his nephew.
68
00:06:06,015 --> 00:06:07,059
Did he ever write you?
69
00:06:07,083 --> 00:06:08,194
Six months he's been gone.
70
00:06:08,218 --> 00:06:10,129
And six months,
not even a postcard.
71
00:06:10,153 --> 00:06:11,897
This high-class wife
of yours must be too...
72
00:06:11,921 --> 00:06:13,199
I'm warning you, Harry!
73
00:06:13,223 --> 00:06:15,167
Uh, if you wanna get
milked dry with them crooks,
74
00:06:15,191 --> 00:06:16,502
I can't stop you.
75
00:06:16,526 --> 00:06:17,503
But they ain't stealing
76
00:06:17,527 --> 00:06:19,706
my share of the money too.
77
00:06:19,730 --> 00:06:22,290
Where's a pen?
78
00:06:35,578 --> 00:06:36,738
There.
79
00:06:39,182 --> 00:06:41,628
Why, it's only made
out for $100,000.
80
00:06:41,652 --> 00:06:42,962
Every cent you're gonna get
81
00:06:42,986 --> 00:06:44,998
till you learn to treat
my wife like a lady.
82
00:06:45,022 --> 00:06:47,299
Did she teach you to
cheat your partner too?
83
00:06:47,323 --> 00:06:49,201
I told you, you
keep her out of this!
84
00:06:49,225 --> 00:06:51,070
You'd better run
along, sonny boy,
85
00:06:51,094 --> 00:06:52,071
before she finds out
86
00:06:52,095 --> 00:06:53,606
you got loose from your playpen.
87
00:06:53,630 --> 00:06:55,141
And take this with you!
88
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,866
Didn't need no writing
to share hard times,
89
00:07:19,890 --> 00:07:21,834
and hunger and thirst.
90
00:07:21,858 --> 00:07:23,235
We had 20 years of it
91
00:07:23,259 --> 00:07:24,771
before we struck it rich.
92
00:07:24,795 --> 00:07:26,272
And that's a lot more binding
93
00:07:26,296 --> 00:07:28,696
than any writing.
94
00:07:29,299 --> 00:07:30,810
Nevertheless, you do have
95
00:07:30,834 --> 00:07:32,845
a written agreement between you.
96
00:07:32,869 --> 00:07:35,148
And according to the
terms of this agreement...
97
00:07:35,172 --> 00:07:37,116
Mr. Clark controls the finances.
98
00:07:37,140 --> 00:07:38,918
Always has.
99
00:07:38,942 --> 00:07:41,453
Even when we only
had two bits between us.
100
00:07:42,612 --> 00:07:44,423
I was the musclehead.
101
00:07:44,447 --> 00:07:45,942
Chuck, he was the brains.
102
00:07:45,966 --> 00:07:48,177
Does he have power of attorney?
103
00:07:48,201 --> 00:07:50,012
Well, he... He signs the checks,
104
00:07:50,036 --> 00:07:51,414
if that's what you mean.
105
00:07:51,438 --> 00:07:54,350
Mr. Mason. You got
to understand this.
106
00:07:54,374 --> 00:07:55,818
Chuck and me have
always been like...
107
00:07:56,876 --> 00:07:58,621
well, sort of... Well...
108
00:07:58,645 --> 00:08:00,056
like that.
109
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,224
Chuck can have every cent
110
00:08:01,248 --> 00:08:02,825
as far as I'm concerned.
111
00:08:02,849 --> 00:08:04,928
But that woman
ain't gonna cheat me.
112
00:08:04,952 --> 00:08:07,696
Well, can you prove
she has, Mr. Bright?
113
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:08,898
Don't need no better proof
114
00:08:08,922 --> 00:08:11,901
than Chuck offering me
$100,000 for my share.
115
00:08:11,925 --> 00:08:13,202
It's her doing.
116
00:08:13,226 --> 00:08:14,926
Perhaps that's all
your share is worth.
117
00:08:17,164 --> 00:08:19,948
Well, we got $5 million in
properties working for us.
118
00:08:21,752 --> 00:08:23,095
Uh, suppose we file an action
119
00:08:23,119 --> 00:08:24,931
for dissolution of
the partnership,
120
00:08:24,955 --> 00:08:26,699
and ask for an
immediate accounting
121
00:08:26,723 --> 00:08:28,318
of all the joint properties.
122
00:08:28,342 --> 00:08:30,653
If things don't add up right...
123
00:08:30,677 --> 00:08:32,993
can you send that woman
and her brother to jail?
124
00:08:34,230 --> 00:08:36,241
If... you have been swindled,
125
00:08:36,265 --> 00:08:37,627
it was by Mr. Clark.
126
00:08:37,651 --> 00:08:39,428
Now, wait a second.
127
00:08:39,452 --> 00:08:40,863
I-I don't want
Chuck going to jail.
128
00:08:40,887 --> 00:08:42,264
It ain't none of his fault.
129
00:08:42,288 --> 00:08:44,166
He just lost his brains.
130
00:08:44,190 --> 00:08:46,268
I tell you, this woman
has got him hypnotized.
131
00:08:46,292 --> 00:08:48,292
Her and that no-good brother.
132
00:08:49,079 --> 00:08:51,657
Why don't I have a
talk with Mr. Clark?
133
00:08:51,681 --> 00:08:53,492
It would be a shame to...
134
00:08:53,516 --> 00:08:54,794
end a 20-year friendship
135
00:08:54,818 --> 00:08:55,850
with a subpoena.
136
00:08:57,387 --> 00:08:58,597
Yeah, but if you could have
137
00:08:58,621 --> 00:09:00,567
heard the way he spoke to me.
138
00:09:00,591 --> 00:09:02,869
If there is any possible
way to patch this up,
139
00:09:02,893 --> 00:09:04,521
don't you think
it's worth a try?
140
00:09:07,780 --> 00:09:09,425
Della, can we juggle
my schedule around
141
00:09:09,449 --> 00:09:11,148
so we can get to the
desert for a few days?
142
00:09:12,352 --> 00:09:14,497
We certainly can.
And would you please
143
00:09:14,521 --> 00:09:16,554
make an appointment
for me to see Mr. Clark?
144
00:10:04,855 --> 00:10:06,020
I'll get it.
145
00:10:09,893 --> 00:10:11,493
Won't you come in, Mr. Mason?
146
00:10:13,864 --> 00:10:14,841
I'm Bill Shayne.
147
00:10:14,865 --> 00:10:16,342
Mr. Shayne.
148
00:10:16,366 --> 00:10:18,332
Uh, this is my
uncle, Charles Clark.
149
00:10:20,203 --> 00:10:21,180
Hello, Mr. Clark.
150
00:10:21,204 --> 00:10:22,448
Howdy.
151
00:10:22,472 --> 00:10:23,571
Sit down, Mason.
152
00:10:29,278 --> 00:10:30,322
I, uh...
153
00:10:30,346 --> 00:10:32,666
suppose you're here about Harry.
154
00:10:32,983 --> 00:10:34,293
I understand you
and Harry Bright
155
00:10:34,317 --> 00:10:36,245
have worked together
for a good many years.
156
00:10:36,269 --> 00:10:38,580
Not long enough to
be called an old fool.
157
00:10:38,604 --> 00:10:39,681
Tsk.
158
00:10:39,705 --> 00:10:42,118
Nobody forced me
into marrying Margaret.
159
00:10:42,142 --> 00:10:43,619
I seen her, and
I said to myself,
160
00:10:43,643 --> 00:10:45,910
"There's a woman
I'd like for a wife."
161
00:10:50,016 --> 00:10:51,115
Wait a minute.
162
00:10:57,490 --> 00:10:59,701
Uh, would you come
into the living room,
163
00:10:59,725 --> 00:11:01,303
uh, please, honey?
164
00:11:01,327 --> 00:11:02,760
Yeah.
165
00:11:04,730 --> 00:11:06,708
You know, Mason...
166
00:11:06,732 --> 00:11:08,944
Harry Bright's been
in the sun too long.
167
00:11:08,968 --> 00:11:11,448
It's, uh... It's
baked out his brain.
168
00:11:12,005 --> 00:11:14,045
Why, I remember one time
about 18 years ago, when...
169
00:11:26,519 --> 00:11:27,964
Come in.
170
00:11:27,988 --> 00:11:29,268
Come in, honey.
171
00:11:32,159 --> 00:11:34,270
Margaret, this is Mr. Mason.
172
00:11:34,294 --> 00:11:35,705
He's a lawyer.
173
00:11:35,729 --> 00:11:38,249
How do you do, Mrs. Clark?
174
00:11:38,597 --> 00:11:40,542
This is a great
pleasure, Mr. Mason.
175
00:11:40,566 --> 00:11:42,111
I've heard so much about you.
176
00:11:42,135 --> 00:11:43,779
Oh, yeah. He's heard
a lot about you too.
177
00:11:43,803 --> 00:11:45,080
Only it ain't true.
178
00:11:45,104 --> 00:11:46,448
He's got a kind of an idea
179
00:11:46,472 --> 00:11:48,992
that you're some sort
of vampire or something.
180
00:11:50,476 --> 00:11:52,744
I, uh, figured it best
we all talk together.
181
00:11:53,813 --> 00:11:55,724
Now, uh...
182
00:11:55,748 --> 00:11:57,126
suppose you tell Mr. Mason
183
00:11:57,150 --> 00:11:58,649
why you married me.
184
00:11:59,819 --> 00:12:00,819
For your money.
185
00:12:02,788 --> 00:12:03,866
There you are.
186
00:12:03,890 --> 00:12:05,267
Cards right on the table,
187
00:12:05,291 --> 00:12:06,568
just like that.
188
00:12:06,592 --> 00:12:07,903
Um...
189
00:12:07,927 --> 00:12:10,407
what kind of deal did we make?
190
00:12:11,097 --> 00:12:12,942
That you would give
me a home. Yeah.
191
00:12:12,966 --> 00:12:14,143
Money. Yep.
192
00:12:14,167 --> 00:12:15,545
Everything I needed.
193
00:12:15,569 --> 00:12:17,279
In exchange...
194
00:12:17,303 --> 00:12:18,848
I would try to take care of you,
195
00:12:18,872 --> 00:12:19,982
give you companionship.
196
00:12:20,006 --> 00:12:23,085
Yeah. And teach me
how to enjoy myself.
197
00:12:23,109 --> 00:12:24,386
Man's entitled to play
198
00:12:24,410 --> 00:12:27,489
when he's grubbed and
hardpanned all his life.
199
00:12:27,513 --> 00:12:29,624
I don't want to break
up an old friendship.
200
00:12:29,648 --> 00:12:31,393
I know Chuck is unhappy...
201
00:12:31,417 --> 00:12:33,428
and I'm sure Mr. Bright is.
202
00:12:33,452 --> 00:12:35,198
Isn't there something you can do
203
00:12:35,222 --> 00:12:37,166
to bring them back
together again?
204
00:12:37,190 --> 00:12:39,402
Hmm. I'm very glad
205
00:12:39,426 --> 00:12:41,306
to hear you say
that, Mrs. Clark.
206
00:12:42,912 --> 00:12:44,356
Now, if you'll excuse me,
207
00:12:44,380 --> 00:12:45,390
I do have to leave.
208
00:12:45,414 --> 00:12:46,525
Why?
209
00:12:46,549 --> 00:12:47,827
It's Wednesday, dear.
210
00:12:47,851 --> 00:12:49,061
My day with Aunt Jane.
211
00:12:49,085 --> 00:12:50,996
Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot.
212
00:12:51,020 --> 00:12:52,197
Well, I'll see you tonight.
213
00:12:52,221 --> 00:12:53,221
Right.
214
00:12:55,274 --> 00:12:56,719
Nice meeting you, Mr. Mason.
215
00:12:56,743 --> 00:12:57,720
Mrs. Clark.
216
00:12:57,744 --> 00:12:59,088
I hope you can
work out something
217
00:12:59,112 --> 00:13:00,656
for my husband and Mr. Bright.
218
00:13:00,680 --> 00:13:02,257
Well, uh, first he's got to
219
00:13:02,281 --> 00:13:03,726
learn to act like a gent.
220
00:13:04,784 --> 00:13:05,761
Well...
221
00:13:05,785 --> 00:13:07,429
Bye, dear. Goodbye.
222
00:13:07,453 --> 00:13:08,486
Bye, Bill.
223
00:13:12,342 --> 00:13:13,553
Well, I guess I should take
224
00:13:13,577 --> 00:13:14,554
my cue from Mrs. Clark.
225
00:13:14,578 --> 00:13:16,155
Now, look here, Mason.
226
00:13:16,179 --> 00:13:17,490
You tell Harry Bright
227
00:13:17,514 --> 00:13:20,125
that I don't want one
cent that's rightfully his.
228
00:13:20,149 --> 00:13:22,261
But I don't want him to have
229
00:13:22,285 --> 00:13:24,230
too much money at once.
230
00:13:24,254 --> 00:13:26,131
Harry Bright don't have
the brains of a gnat,
231
00:13:26,155 --> 00:13:27,700
where money's concerned.
232
00:13:27,724 --> 00:13:28,801
Now, if you can fix up
233
00:13:28,825 --> 00:13:30,135
some kind of a
trust arrangement,
234
00:13:30,159 --> 00:13:31,904
I'll go along with it.
235
00:13:31,928 --> 00:13:33,573
If you can get
Harry to go along.
236
00:13:33,597 --> 00:13:34,607
May I see your books?
237
00:13:34,631 --> 00:13:36,242
Any time.
238
00:13:36,266 --> 00:13:38,043
You driving right
back to Los Angeles?
239
00:13:38,067 --> 00:13:39,645
No. I thought I'd try my hand
240
00:13:39,669 --> 00:13:40,713
at some golf this weekend.
241
00:13:40,737 --> 00:13:41,980
Oh, where you staying?
242
00:13:42,004 --> 00:13:43,416
Uh, White Sun Guest Ranch.
243
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:44,883
Oh, that's a nice place.
244
00:13:44,907 --> 00:13:46,285
Look, uh, I'd like to have you
245
00:13:46,309 --> 00:13:48,087
for supper, if you have time.
246
00:13:48,111 --> 00:13:49,121
Thank you.
247
00:13:49,145 --> 00:13:51,190
Bill, show, uh,
Mr. Mason to his car.
248
00:13:51,214 --> 00:13:52,191
Mr. Clark.
249
00:13:52,215 --> 00:13:53,215
See you later.
250
00:14:01,675 --> 00:14:03,318
When you see Harry, tell him
251
00:14:03,342 --> 00:14:05,788
he's got the wrong
idea about Margaret.
252
00:14:05,812 --> 00:14:06,856
In all fairness to her,
253
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:08,758
she's done Chuck
a world of good.
254
00:14:08,782 --> 00:14:11,761
That's very tolerant
of you, Mr. Shayne.
255
00:14:11,785 --> 00:14:12,928
Most people in your position
256
00:14:12,952 --> 00:14:14,563
would consider Mrs.
Clark an interloper.
257
00:14:14,587 --> 00:14:16,081
Why?
258
00:14:16,105 --> 00:14:19,168
Well doesn't your uncle's
marriage affect your prospects?
259
00:14:19,192 --> 00:14:21,137
Not a bit.
260
00:14:21,161 --> 00:14:22,772
I don't share in his estate.
261
00:14:22,796 --> 00:14:25,607
Chuck took care of me
five years ago in a trust fund.
262
00:14:25,631 --> 00:14:28,151
Maybe that's why I can
afford to be charitable.
263
00:14:28,651 --> 00:14:29,846
It's been nice talking to you.
264
00:14:29,870 --> 00:14:30,910
Thank you.
265
00:14:45,185 --> 00:14:47,145
Don't you believe in knocking?
266
00:14:48,905 --> 00:14:50,037
Don't mind me.
267
00:14:51,707 --> 00:14:52,774
I, um...
268
00:14:54,343 --> 00:14:56,503
I'm your brother, remember?
269
00:14:58,547 --> 00:15:00,726
That was a very interesting
act you put on for Mason.
270
00:15:00,750 --> 00:15:02,194
I heard it.
271
00:15:02,218 --> 00:15:03,662
Wasn't an act.
272
00:15:03,686 --> 00:15:04,696
I'd like nothing better
273
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:06,899
than to see Chuck
and Harry friends again.
274
00:15:08,158 --> 00:15:11,403
Well, now, that could
cost you almost $2 million.
275
00:15:11,427 --> 00:15:12,526
It's worth it.
276
00:15:14,363 --> 00:15:15,643
You out of your head?
277
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:18,978
Howard, let's get out of here.
278
00:15:19,002 --> 00:15:21,580
We don't need the
money that badly.
279
00:15:21,604 --> 00:15:23,924
What's come over you, Mag?
280
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,786
Can't I do something decent
for the first time in my life?
281
00:15:26,810 --> 00:15:27,853
Now, you listen to me.
282
00:15:27,877 --> 00:15:29,822
I put too much time
and effort into this
283
00:15:29,846 --> 00:15:31,745
to have you blow it.
284
00:15:34,750 --> 00:15:36,728
Oh, honey, I'm sorry.
I... I don't wanna hurt you.
285
00:15:36,752 --> 00:15:38,719
But when you talk
like that, it upsets me.
286
00:15:40,623 --> 00:15:42,567
Now, what do you say we, uh...?
287
00:15:42,591 --> 00:15:44,703
We don't wanna miss seeing...
288
00:15:44,727 --> 00:15:47,028
Seeing Aunt Jane, do we?
289
00:15:49,299 --> 00:15:50,299
Let's go.
290
00:15:59,508 --> 00:16:02,922
It just ain't right, Harry.
291
00:16:02,946 --> 00:16:04,623
When two men have been partners
292
00:16:04,647 --> 00:16:06,658
as long as you and Chuck have,
293
00:16:06,682 --> 00:16:08,327
no woman ought
to be allowed to...
294
00:16:17,994 --> 00:16:19,771
Well, ain't you
gonna invite me in?
295
00:16:19,795 --> 00:16:21,606
I just had the place fumigated.
296
00:16:21,630 --> 00:16:23,608
Heh-ha. Very funny.
297
00:16:23,632 --> 00:16:25,499
Course, it ain't near
as funny as this.
298
00:16:26,569 --> 00:16:27,569
Hi, Nellie.
299
00:16:36,478 --> 00:16:38,958
What's the matter?
300
00:16:39,481 --> 00:16:41,548
I told you she was no good.
301
00:16:54,797 --> 00:16:56,341
Have a good game?
302
00:16:56,365 --> 00:16:57,710
Mr. Mason's game was good.
303
00:16:57,734 --> 00:16:58,811
Mine was interesting.
304
00:17:01,604 --> 00:17:02,604
Thank you.
305
00:17:04,941 --> 00:17:06,518
You order.
306
00:17:06,542 --> 00:17:08,253
Hello?
307
00:17:08,277 --> 00:17:10,757
Just a minute.
308
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,291
It's a call for you, Mr. Mason.
309
00:17:13,315 --> 00:17:15,355
After breakfast, Carlos.
310
00:17:17,519 --> 00:17:18,630
Can you call back
311
00:17:18,654 --> 00:17:21,054
a little later, please?
312
00:17:21,157 --> 00:17:22,237
Oh.
313
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:25,470
He said it's very important.
314
00:17:25,494 --> 00:17:27,934
A Mr. Charles Clark.
315
00:17:29,632 --> 00:17:31,376
Sure thing.
316
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,511
Hello, Mr. Clark.
317
00:17:37,506 --> 00:17:38,786
I'll be right over.
318
00:17:39,809 --> 00:17:40,919
No breakfast?
319
00:17:40,943 --> 00:17:42,187
No time. Della,
320
00:17:42,211 --> 00:17:43,421
get Paul up here right away.
321
00:17:43,445 --> 00:17:44,757
Margaret Clark's been murdered.
322
00:18:11,490 --> 00:18:14,270
Say, sergeant...
323
00:18:14,294 --> 00:18:15,871
where's this brother of hers...
324
00:18:15,895 --> 00:18:17,206
Howard Roper?
325
00:18:17,230 --> 00:18:18,974
Waiting in the hall.
326
00:18:18,998 --> 00:18:20,278
Better have him in.
327
00:18:24,237 --> 00:18:25,237
Mr. Roper.
328
00:18:38,384 --> 00:18:39,528
Anyway...
329
00:18:39,552 --> 00:18:40,992
that's why I called you.
330
00:18:41,955 --> 00:18:43,198
I want you to defend Harry.
331
00:18:43,222 --> 00:18:45,182
Why does he need defending?
332
00:18:46,159 --> 00:18:47,269
They're gonna arrest him
333
00:18:47,293 --> 00:18:48,737
for my wife's murder.
334
00:18:48,761 --> 00:18:50,172
He was here last night.
335
00:18:50,196 --> 00:18:51,974
So I assume, were
you, Mr. Shayne,
336
00:18:51,998 --> 00:18:53,875
and any number of people.
337
00:18:53,899 --> 00:18:55,477
You don't understand.
338
00:18:55,501 --> 00:18:57,861
Let me tell him, Chuck.
339
00:18:58,354 --> 00:18:59,632
Howard Roper and Margaret
340
00:18:59,656 --> 00:19:01,400
weren't brother and sister.
341
00:19:01,424 --> 00:19:03,201
How do you know?
342
00:19:03,225 --> 00:19:05,070
It's all in a
detective's report.
343
00:19:05,094 --> 00:19:06,939
A man named Philip
Morgan from Sierra City
344
00:19:06,963 --> 00:19:08,240
did the investigating.
345
00:19:08,264 --> 00:19:10,664
Show him the letter.
346
00:19:21,527 --> 00:19:23,238
This is addressed
to Mr. Walter Sims.
347
00:19:23,262 --> 00:19:24,239
Who's he?
348
00:19:24,263 --> 00:19:26,041
Oh, they call him Salty Sims.
349
00:19:26,065 --> 00:19:28,110
He runs a gas station in Bardo.
350
00:19:28,134 --> 00:19:30,346
Salty gave Harry this.
351
00:19:30,370 --> 00:19:31,580
May I keep it?
352
00:19:31,604 --> 00:19:32,703
Sure.
353
00:19:33,973 --> 00:19:35,284
Now...
354
00:19:35,308 --> 00:19:37,788
exactly what happened
here last night?
355
00:19:37,843 --> 00:19:39,221
Well...
356
00:19:39,245 --> 00:19:41,256
Harry came over.
357
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,258
Didn't say, "I told you so."
358
00:19:43,282 --> 00:19:44,715
Didn't do any gloating.
359
00:19:45,985 --> 00:19:48,297
I was gonna kill both of 'em.
360
00:19:48,321 --> 00:19:49,453
Harry stopped me.
361
00:19:50,789 --> 00:19:52,534
And it's like old times again...
362
00:19:52,558 --> 00:19:54,069
Harry and me together...
363
00:19:54,093 --> 00:19:56,372
depending on each other.
364
00:19:56,396 --> 00:19:57,528
Go on.
365
00:19:58,597 --> 00:20:00,709
Well, uh... that's
all there was.
366
00:20:00,733 --> 00:20:02,666
Uh, Harry left about
20 minutes later.
367
00:20:04,037 --> 00:20:05,731
All right. Now,
let's have the truth.
368
00:20:05,755 --> 00:20:07,572
That is the truth.
369
00:20:12,378 --> 00:20:14,422
How did Mrs. Clark die?
370
00:20:14,446 --> 00:20:16,024
She was shot.
371
00:20:16,048 --> 00:20:17,368
Well, what makes
you think that...
372
00:20:30,113 --> 00:20:31,790
It was right around here,
373
00:20:31,814 --> 00:20:32,857
Mr. Topham.
374
00:20:32,881 --> 00:20:34,460
Gardener must
have covered it up.
375
00:20:34,484 --> 00:20:36,765
All right, sergeant,
start digging.
376
00:20:50,282 --> 00:20:52,794
Who's the gentleman in command?
377
00:20:52,818 --> 00:20:53,928
Mel Topham...
378
00:20:53,952 --> 00:20:56,865
district attorney
for Sierra County.
379
00:20:56,889 --> 00:20:58,769
Would the other one
be Howard Roper?
380
00:21:15,692 --> 00:21:16,702
That's it, son.
381
00:21:16,726 --> 00:21:19,086
Just like I said.
382
00:21:20,246 --> 00:21:21,456
Harry took a shot at
383
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,125
Roper the other day.
384
00:21:23,149 --> 00:21:24,659
Uh, he didn't
mean anything by it.
385
00:21:24,683 --> 00:21:27,123
He was just defending himself.
386
00:21:30,489 --> 00:21:32,567
Where you going?
387
00:21:32,591 --> 00:21:34,436
Think it's about
time I saw my client.
388
00:21:56,949 --> 00:21:57,949
Yes, sir?
389
00:21:59,051 --> 00:22:01,297
Can you tell me where
Harry Bright lives?
390
00:22:01,321 --> 00:22:03,732
Yes, sir. Right over there.
391
00:22:03,756 --> 00:22:05,834
Thank you. Fill it
up for me, will you?
392
00:22:05,858 --> 00:22:07,138
Uh, sure. Sure.
393
00:22:18,153 --> 00:22:19,865
I left about 20 minutes
394
00:22:19,889 --> 00:22:22,367
after I showed him that letter.
395
00:22:22,391 --> 00:22:23,835
It's like Chuck told you.
396
00:22:23,859 --> 00:22:25,592
How do you know
what Chuck told me?
397
00:22:28,330 --> 00:22:30,241
Where's your gun? I don't know.
398
00:22:30,265 --> 00:22:31,743
What do you mean,
you don't know?
399
00:22:31,767 --> 00:22:33,044
Well, I generally carry it
400
00:22:33,068 --> 00:22:35,414
in the glove
compartment of my car.
401
00:22:35,438 --> 00:22:37,015
It wasn't there this morning.
402
00:22:37,039 --> 00:22:38,171
When did you last see it?
403
00:22:39,241 --> 00:22:41,185
I don't rightly remember.
404
00:22:41,209 --> 00:22:42,654
You trying to
protect Chuck Clark?
405
00:22:42,678 --> 00:22:43,822
Chuck don't need protecting.
406
00:22:43,846 --> 00:22:45,746
He must, if you
can't tell me the truth.
407
00:22:47,049 --> 00:22:49,394
When I showed Chuck
that detective's report,
408
00:22:49,418 --> 00:22:51,763
he almost went out of his mind.
409
00:22:51,787 --> 00:22:53,865
He wanted to kill his wife
and that phony brother
410
00:22:53,889 --> 00:22:55,266
right then and there.
411
00:22:55,290 --> 00:22:56,902
Well, Bill Shayne and
me had all we could do
412
00:22:56,926 --> 00:22:58,136
to talk him out of it.
413
00:22:58,160 --> 00:22:59,905
How'd you manage it?
414
00:22:59,929 --> 00:23:02,474
Well, I said I'd go and
tell her to clear out.
415
00:23:02,498 --> 00:23:04,331
Why didn't Bill Shayne do that?
416
00:23:07,002 --> 00:23:08,642
He took Chuck for a
drive to cool him off.
417
00:23:10,539 --> 00:23:13,059
Then you were left
alone in the house? Ah.
418
00:23:14,643 --> 00:23:15,620
I went to her bedroom
419
00:23:15,644 --> 00:23:17,589
and knocked on the door.
420
00:23:17,613 --> 00:23:18,957
There was no answer.
421
00:23:18,981 --> 00:23:20,459
I looked in, and...
422
00:23:20,483 --> 00:23:22,293
well, she was dead.
423
00:23:37,867 --> 00:23:38,894
Police?
424
00:23:42,187 --> 00:23:44,767
Did you touch anything
in Mrs. Clark's room?
425
00:23:44,791 --> 00:23:46,071
Just the bed when I leaned over.
426
00:23:47,393 --> 00:23:49,471
They must have found
your fingerprints there.
427
00:23:49,495 --> 00:23:50,572
Go on.
428
00:23:50,596 --> 00:23:51,940
Well, I went back
to the living room
429
00:23:51,964 --> 00:23:52,941
and waited for...
430
00:23:52,965 --> 00:23:55,544
Chuck and Bill to come back.
431
00:23:55,568 --> 00:23:57,413
That's the truth, Mr. Mason.
432
00:23:57,437 --> 00:23:59,515
Now, all you have to do
is tell that story in court.
433
00:23:59,539 --> 00:24:00,579
No.
434
00:24:01,707 --> 00:24:02,885
I told you the true story,
435
00:24:02,909 --> 00:24:05,353
but I ain't gonna
tell anybody else.
436
00:24:05,377 --> 00:24:07,389
I won't hurt Chuck.
437
00:24:07,413 --> 00:24:09,691
I mean that, Mr. Mason.
438
00:24:09,715 --> 00:24:12,149
If you're not gonna tell
the truth, don't talk at all.
439
00:24:15,387 --> 00:24:16,667
Come in, sergeant.
440
00:24:27,165 --> 00:24:29,044
Another drink, Miss Gridley?
441
00:24:29,068 --> 00:24:31,434
No, uh... No, thank you.
442
00:24:34,907 --> 00:24:36,117
I'm terribly sorry, Della.
443
00:24:36,141 --> 00:24:37,185
That's all right, Perry.
444
00:24:37,209 --> 00:24:38,820
This lady's been
waiting almost an hour.
445
00:24:38,844 --> 00:24:40,822
Miss Nell Gridley,
this is Mr. Mason.
446
00:24:40,846 --> 00:24:42,857
How do you do,
Mr. Mason? Miss Gridley.
447
00:24:42,881 --> 00:24:43,959
Can we talk?
448
00:24:43,983 --> 00:24:45,026
Well, of course.
449
00:24:45,050 --> 00:24:46,527
Uh, phone call for
you, Mr. Mason.
450
00:24:46,551 --> 00:24:47,551
Oh, thank you.
451
00:24:51,423 --> 00:24:53,434
Hello?
452
00:24:53,458 --> 00:24:54,853
Oh, yes, Paul.
453
00:24:54,877 --> 00:24:56,087
Perry...
454
00:24:56,111 --> 00:24:58,056
this Aunt Jane is
certainly no myth.
455
00:24:58,080 --> 00:24:59,524
Her name is Jane Caldwell,
456
00:24:59,548 --> 00:25:01,025
and she's at the
Hillsdale Sanitarium
457
00:25:01,049 --> 00:25:02,260
in Mineral Springs.
458
00:25:02,284 --> 00:25:04,963
And Mrs. Clark went
to visit her regularly
459
00:25:04,987 --> 00:25:06,482
every Wednesday.
460
00:25:06,506 --> 00:25:09,201
Anyone go with
her on those visits?
461
00:25:09,225 --> 00:25:11,736
Howard Roper
was always with her.
462
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:13,605
Wait a minute.
463
00:25:13,629 --> 00:25:15,574
That might be the answer.
464
00:25:15,598 --> 00:25:18,743
They'd only spend about
half an hour at the sanitarium.
465
00:25:18,767 --> 00:25:20,878
Then they'd register at
the Desert View at Mesa,
466
00:25:20,902 --> 00:25:22,247
adjoining bungalows.
467
00:25:22,271 --> 00:25:24,550
All right. What else?
468
00:25:24,574 --> 00:25:26,818
I'm gonna talk to that
private investigator
469
00:25:26,842 --> 00:25:28,654
who dug up that
report for Salty Sims.
470
00:25:28,678 --> 00:25:30,121
He's up in Sierra City,
471
00:25:30,145 --> 00:25:32,257
so I probably won't be able
to contact him till morning.
472
00:25:32,281 --> 00:25:33,308
I'll see you then.
473
00:25:33,332 --> 00:25:35,432
Uh... Thanks, Paul.
474
00:25:36,936 --> 00:25:38,246
Well...
475
00:25:38,270 --> 00:25:39,270
now we can talk.
476
00:25:42,808 --> 00:25:44,920
Harry Bright didn't
kill that woman.
477
00:25:44,944 --> 00:25:47,022
He was nowhere
near Chuck's ranch
478
00:25:47,046 --> 00:25:48,790
when she was murdered.
479
00:25:48,814 --> 00:25:50,091
Oh. Where was he?
480
00:25:50,115 --> 00:25:52,260
Sitting with me,
right in my diner.
481
00:25:52,284 --> 00:25:53,284
All night?
482
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:55,330
I'll swear to it.
483
00:25:55,354 --> 00:25:57,065
Wouldn't be the truth.
484
00:25:57,089 --> 00:25:58,499
I said I'd swear to it.
485
00:25:58,523 --> 00:25:59,523
Why?
486
00:26:02,578 --> 00:26:03,888
Well... uh,
487
00:26:03,912 --> 00:26:04,956
there are two kind of
488
00:26:04,980 --> 00:26:06,508
desert people, Mr. Mason.
489
00:26:06,532 --> 00:26:07,509
The...
490
00:26:07,533 --> 00:26:09,853
The lovers and the haters.
491
00:26:10,436 --> 00:26:13,181
The haters sit in the
shade all hunched up...
492
00:26:13,205 --> 00:26:15,450
building up poison
inside themselves
493
00:26:15,474 --> 00:26:16,451
till...
494
00:26:16,475 --> 00:26:18,995
they gotta use it or bust apart.
495
00:26:20,413 --> 00:26:22,224
Talking about Salty Sims?
496
00:26:22,248 --> 00:26:23,691
Salty waited a long time
497
00:26:23,715 --> 00:26:25,927
to get even with
Chuck and Harry.
498
00:26:25,951 --> 00:26:27,445
He sure got even with Harry,
499
00:26:27,469 --> 00:26:28,446
when he showed him that
500
00:26:28,470 --> 00:26:30,615
private detective's report.
501
00:26:30,639 --> 00:26:31,900
What happened?
502
00:26:31,924 --> 00:26:34,235
Nothing compared to
what must have happened
503
00:26:34,259 --> 00:26:35,837
when Harry showed it to Chuck.
504
00:26:35,861 --> 00:26:38,473
Chuck's always
had a terrible temper.
505
00:26:38,497 --> 00:26:39,541
Are you trying to tell us
506
00:26:39,565 --> 00:26:41,576
that Chuck Clark
killed his wife?
507
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,545
I'm not accusing anybody.
508
00:26:43,569 --> 00:26:46,314
I... I just don't
wanna see Harry
509
00:26:46,338 --> 00:26:48,517
pay for somebody
else's murdering.
510
00:26:48,541 --> 00:26:49,741
That's all.
511
00:26:50,743 --> 00:26:51,787
Mm.
512
00:26:51,811 --> 00:26:53,655
May I ask you a
personal question,
513
00:26:53,679 --> 00:26:54,679
Miss Gridley?
514
00:26:56,348 --> 00:26:57,392
Fire away.
515
00:26:57,416 --> 00:26:58,916
Why haven't you ever married?
516
00:27:00,786 --> 00:27:03,264
Right man never
asked me, I guess.
517
00:27:03,288 --> 00:27:04,521
Chuck Clark the right man?
518
00:27:07,693 --> 00:27:10,093
Now there's some gossip for you.
519
00:27:10,796 --> 00:27:12,373
Fact is, I could
have married him
520
00:27:12,397 --> 00:27:14,275
any time I wanted to.
521
00:27:14,299 --> 00:27:15,332
Well, why didn't you?
522
00:27:17,069 --> 00:27:19,549
Didn't want to. That's why.
523
00:27:20,339 --> 00:27:23,907
Oh, uh, I was
tempted, but, uh...
524
00:27:24,944 --> 00:27:26,621
some women are just not cut out
525
00:27:26,645 --> 00:27:28,423
for double harness, Mr. Mason.
526
00:27:28,447 --> 00:27:29,591
They're...
527
00:27:29,615 --> 00:27:31,426
too used to having things run
528
00:27:31,450 --> 00:27:33,850
to suit themselves, you know?
529
00:27:34,386 --> 00:27:35,597
If you want me for anything,
530
00:27:35,621 --> 00:27:37,031
there's my business address.
531
00:27:37,055 --> 00:27:38,132
I...
532
00:27:38,156 --> 00:27:40,469
I typed my home phone
number on the back.
533
00:27:40,493 --> 00:27:41,525
Thank you.
534
00:27:44,463 --> 00:27:46,863
Thanks for the
drink, Miss Street.
535
00:28:23,519 --> 00:28:24,496
Oh.
536
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:26,164
I didn't hear you come in.
537
00:28:26,188 --> 00:28:27,899
It's all right. You
Philip Morgan?
538
00:28:27,923 --> 00:28:29,201
Yeah.
539
00:28:29,225 --> 00:28:30,735
My name's Paul Drake.
540
00:28:30,759 --> 00:28:33,405
Oh. I've heard a lot about you.
541
00:28:33,429 --> 00:28:35,540
Works both ways. I've
heard a lot about you.
542
00:28:35,564 --> 00:28:37,209
What's on your mind?
543
00:28:37,233 --> 00:28:39,311
You had a client
named Walter Sims.
544
00:28:39,335 --> 00:28:41,513
He asked you to investigate
a couple of people?
545
00:28:41,537 --> 00:28:43,615
Ah, you know I
can't discuss that.
546
00:28:43,639 --> 00:28:45,350
I wouldn't want you to
divulge a confidence.
547
00:28:45,374 --> 00:28:47,185
I'm just double-checking.
548
00:28:47,209 --> 00:28:49,387
Is, uh...
549
00:28:49,411 --> 00:28:50,855
this the report you sent Sims
550
00:28:50,879 --> 00:28:52,746
on Howard Roper
and Margaret Clark?
551
00:28:54,283 --> 00:28:55,427
Where'd you get this?
552
00:28:55,451 --> 00:28:57,351
You don't have to worry.
I came by it honestly.
553
00:29:07,163 --> 00:29:08,940
Take a look at this
carbon copy of the letter
554
00:29:08,964 --> 00:29:10,164
I sent Sims.
555
00:29:11,667 --> 00:29:13,895
Somebody's been playing games.
556
00:29:13,919 --> 00:29:15,096
Hm. According to this,
557
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:16,364
Howard Roper and Margaret Clark
558
00:29:16,388 --> 00:29:17,798
are definitely
brother and sister.
559
00:29:17,822 --> 00:29:19,968
Yeah. Now compare
it to the original letter
560
00:29:19,992 --> 00:29:21,272
you've got there.
561
00:29:22,394 --> 00:29:24,873
"Dear Mr. Sims, my
preliminary investigation
562
00:29:24,897 --> 00:29:26,707
"reveals that Howard
Roper and Margaret Clark
563
00:29:26,731 --> 00:29:28,765
"are definitely not
brother and sister.
564
00:29:30,035 --> 00:29:31,913
"I expect additional
information on this point,
565
00:29:31,937 --> 00:29:32,914
"which I will forward you.
566
00:29:32,938 --> 00:29:34,482
Sincerely yours, Philip Morgan."
567
00:29:34,506 --> 00:29:36,517
It was a cinch to
type in the word "not."
568
00:29:36,541 --> 00:29:38,981
Comes right there
at the end of the line.
569
00:29:39,712 --> 00:29:42,223
Are you sure Howard
Roper and Margaret Clark
570
00:29:42,247 --> 00:29:43,524
are brother and sister?
571
00:29:43,548 --> 00:29:44,726
I'm positive.
572
00:29:44,750 --> 00:29:45,994
If you like, I can
get you copies
573
00:29:46,018 --> 00:29:47,261
of their birth certificates.
574
00:29:47,285 --> 00:29:49,363
I'd like nothing better.
575
00:29:49,387 --> 00:29:51,707
What I want to know is...
576
00:29:52,024 --> 00:29:54,202
who changed my report?
577
00:29:54,226 --> 00:29:56,404
Offhand, I'd say
your client. Sims?
578
00:29:56,428 --> 00:29:57,505
Mm-hm.
579
00:29:57,529 --> 00:29:58,840
But why?
580
00:29:58,864 --> 00:30:01,042
Unless he wanted to
make trouble for someone.
581
00:30:01,066 --> 00:30:02,978
That's just what he wanted.
582
00:30:03,002 --> 00:30:03,979
Can I keep this?
583
00:30:04,003 --> 00:30:05,003
Yeah.
584
00:30:06,371 --> 00:30:08,105
Thanks, Morgan. See you.
585
00:30:14,780 --> 00:30:16,190
Does Sims own a typewriter?
586
00:30:16,214 --> 00:30:17,792
No, but he could
have borrowed one.
587
00:30:19,484 --> 00:30:21,129
This is addressed to
him at a box number.
588
00:30:21,153 --> 00:30:22,263
Who runs the post office?
589
00:30:22,287 --> 00:30:23,732
Nell Gridley.
590
00:30:23,756 --> 00:30:26,234
I think she has a typewriter.
591
00:30:26,258 --> 00:30:27,602
You still have her
business card?
592
00:30:27,626 --> 00:30:29,592
I think so.
593
00:30:30,829 --> 00:30:32,440
Let's see...
594
00:30:32,464 --> 00:30:33,574
Here.
595
00:30:33,598 --> 00:30:34,631
Yeah, that's it.
596
00:30:39,972 --> 00:30:42,292
Look at those N's.
597
00:30:44,175 --> 00:30:45,553
Now look at the...
598
00:30:45,577 --> 00:30:47,021
N in this report
599
00:30:47,045 --> 00:30:48,325
in the word "not."
600
00:30:49,414 --> 00:30:51,414
They were both typed
on the same machine.
601
00:31:01,527 --> 00:31:03,237
Interesting pictures.
602
00:31:03,261 --> 00:31:04,494
Happier days.
603
00:31:06,131 --> 00:31:07,164
Who's this one?
604
00:31:09,635 --> 00:31:11,916
Salty Sims.
605
00:31:16,391 --> 00:31:17,469
That your car?
606
00:31:17,493 --> 00:31:18,836
No, it belonged to Salty.
607
00:31:18,860 --> 00:31:20,371
Took great pride in it...
608
00:31:20,395 --> 00:31:23,441
polishing and
washing it all the time.
609
00:31:23,465 --> 00:31:25,743
Mr. Sims apparently
has run out of pride.
610
00:31:25,767 --> 00:31:27,362
A man lives with
hate in his heart
611
00:31:27,386 --> 00:31:29,819
all his days is bound
to turn up crazy.
612
00:31:31,590 --> 00:31:33,168
Who does he hate?
613
00:31:33,192 --> 00:31:34,736
Harry and me, I guess.
614
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:36,371
Why?
615
00:31:36,395 --> 00:31:37,560
Oh...
616
00:31:39,214 --> 00:31:40,959
You know where
Salty's service station is?
617
00:31:40,983 --> 00:31:42,493
Yes.
618
00:31:42,517 --> 00:31:44,818
That property once belonged
to Harry and Uncle Chuck.
619
00:31:46,221 --> 00:31:48,967
When the gypsum company
came in, there was a land boom.
620
00:31:48,991 --> 00:31:51,431
People had dreams of a big
city growing up out of the desert.
621
00:31:52,561 --> 00:31:55,073
Salty had a worthless
mine up in the hills.
622
00:31:55,097 --> 00:31:56,841
He salted it to
make it look rich,
623
00:31:56,865 --> 00:31:58,343
then offered to trade
it to Uncle Chuck
624
00:31:58,367 --> 00:31:59,778
for that roadside property.
625
00:31:59,802 --> 00:32:03,181
I can see what happened
to the roadside property.
626
00:32:03,205 --> 00:32:04,566
What happened to the mine?
627
00:32:04,590 --> 00:32:07,401
They named it "Salty's Folly."
628
00:32:07,425 --> 00:32:09,003
Chuck and Harry
took out close to
629
00:32:09,027 --> 00:32:11,427
half a million dollars'
worth of ore the first year.
630
00:32:20,038 --> 00:32:21,682
Excuse me.
631
00:32:21,706 --> 00:32:23,907
I've been waiting
all day for him.
632
00:32:27,713 --> 00:32:29,223
You.
633
00:32:29,247 --> 00:32:30,714
Pack your things and get out!
634
00:32:32,084 --> 00:32:33,895
Well, now, I might have
expected that from you.
635
00:32:33,919 --> 00:32:35,797
I ought to...
636
00:32:35,821 --> 00:32:37,331
Nah.
637
00:32:37,355 --> 00:32:39,022
Makes me sick to touch you.
638
00:32:40,826 --> 00:32:42,303
Look out, Chuck!
639
00:32:43,528 --> 00:32:44,639
Come on!
640
00:32:44,663 --> 00:32:47,141
Try your judo tricks on me.
641
00:32:47,165 --> 00:32:48,485
I wanna see what
you use for guts.
642
00:32:51,103 --> 00:32:53,263
You don't have to go this far.
643
00:32:53,571 --> 00:32:55,883
You'll still go to the
gas chamber, Clark.
644
00:32:55,907 --> 00:32:58,067
You and Harry Bright both!
645
00:33:00,646 --> 00:33:02,245
Out! In an hour.
646
00:33:18,296 --> 00:33:20,441
Now, tell me, sergeant,
what did you discover
647
00:33:20,465 --> 00:33:22,343
when you entered the
deceased's bedroom?
648
00:33:22,367 --> 00:33:24,078
Mrs. Clark was lying on the bed.
649
00:33:24,102 --> 00:33:25,813
She had been shot
through the heart.
650
00:33:25,837 --> 00:33:27,581
There were feathers
all over the place.
651
00:33:27,605 --> 00:33:29,617
Well, can you tell us where
those feathers came from?
652
00:33:29,641 --> 00:33:31,352
Yes, sir. A pillow.
653
00:33:31,376 --> 00:33:32,959
It had been used
to muffle the shot.
654
00:33:36,532 --> 00:33:37,664
Sergeant...
655
00:33:39,068 --> 00:33:41,468
do you recognize this bullet?
656
00:33:41,703 --> 00:33:43,481
It was turned over
to me by Dr. Fenton,
657
00:33:43,505 --> 00:33:44,582
who did the autopsy.
658
00:33:44,606 --> 00:33:46,151
It has my mark on it.
659
00:33:46,175 --> 00:33:47,340
Thank you, sergeant.
660
00:33:51,246 --> 00:33:52,424
Now...
661
00:33:52,448 --> 00:33:54,808
I show you another bullet.
662
00:33:55,717 --> 00:33:57,895
What about this one?
663
00:33:57,919 --> 00:33:59,097
I dug this one up
664
00:33:59,121 --> 00:34:01,232
in the garden of
the Clark estate.
665
00:34:01,256 --> 00:34:02,633
If your honor please...
666
00:34:02,657 --> 00:34:04,777
I'd like this marked
for identification.
667
00:34:08,263 --> 00:34:09,574
Now, sergeant...
668
00:34:09,598 --> 00:34:11,909
tell us about this
second bullet.
669
00:34:11,933 --> 00:34:13,378
Well, I checked it...
670
00:34:13,402 --> 00:34:15,302
under our new
comparison microscope.
671
00:34:16,605 --> 00:34:19,501
It was fired from the same
gun that killed Mrs. Clark.
672
00:34:19,525 --> 00:34:21,703
Were you able to,
uh, locate the gun?
673
00:34:21,727 --> 00:34:22,893
No, sir.
674
00:34:24,045 --> 00:34:25,325
You may cross-examine.
675
00:34:29,234 --> 00:34:30,545
May I?
676
00:34:30,569 --> 00:34:31,809
Thank you.
677
00:34:32,871 --> 00:34:33,871
Mr. Topham.
678
00:34:35,540 --> 00:34:37,051
Now, sergeant,
you seem very proud
679
00:34:37,075 --> 00:34:38,152
of your...
680
00:34:38,176 --> 00:34:39,854
new comparison microscope.
681
00:34:39,878 --> 00:34:41,489
It's the best money can buy.
682
00:34:41,513 --> 00:34:43,458
I'm sure.
683
00:34:43,482 --> 00:34:44,925
Did it tell you which
of these bullets
684
00:34:44,949 --> 00:34:46,794
was fired first?
685
00:34:46,818 --> 00:34:48,463
Well, I know the bullet
I dug up in the garden
686
00:34:48,487 --> 00:34:49,597
was fired first.
687
00:34:49,621 --> 00:34:51,766
You know that from
your comparison test?
688
00:34:51,790 --> 00:34:52,900
No.
689
00:34:52,924 --> 00:34:55,135
But Howard Roper told me that...
690
00:34:55,159 --> 00:34:57,322
Isn't it true...
691
00:34:57,346 --> 00:34:59,457
that there is no
scientific way to prove
692
00:34:59,481 --> 00:35:01,921
which of these
bullets was fired first?
693
00:35:04,736 --> 00:35:05,747
That's right.
694
00:35:05,771 --> 00:35:07,615
Then it's entirely possible
695
00:35:07,639 --> 00:35:09,383
that the killer first
shot Mrs. Clark
696
00:35:09,407 --> 00:35:11,219
and then fired a
shot into the ground?
697
00:35:11,243 --> 00:35:12,953
Uh, yeah.
698
00:35:12,977 --> 00:35:14,722
But that makes no sense.
699
00:35:14,746 --> 00:35:16,524
Doesn't it, sergeant?
700
00:35:16,548 --> 00:35:18,859
Let's take a hypothetical case.
701
00:35:18,883 --> 00:35:21,329
Now, if a killer knew
that a bullet from gun A
702
00:35:21,353 --> 00:35:22,930
had been fired into the ground,
703
00:35:22,954 --> 00:35:25,065
and he'd removed that
bullet and put in its place
704
00:35:25,089 --> 00:35:27,034
a bullet from gun B,
the murder weapon,
705
00:35:27,058 --> 00:35:29,136
what would be your deduction?
706
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:30,404
Well...
707
00:35:30,428 --> 00:35:32,005
if I didn't know
about the substitution,
708
00:35:32,029 --> 00:35:33,007
I would think that...
709
00:35:33,031 --> 00:35:34,909
Whoever fired the bullet
710
00:35:34,933 --> 00:35:38,413
I... found in the ground...
711
00:35:38,437 --> 00:35:39,614
was the killer.
712
00:35:39,638 --> 00:35:42,250
Then the order in which
the bullets were fired
713
00:35:42,274 --> 00:35:43,356
is important.
714
00:35:45,677 --> 00:35:46,754
Yes, sir.
715
00:35:46,778 --> 00:35:48,322
Thank you, sergeant.
716
00:35:48,346 --> 00:35:50,090
That'll be all.
717
00:35:50,114 --> 00:35:51,859
Now, can you describe to us
718
00:35:51,883 --> 00:35:53,193
the events on the afternoon
719
00:35:53,217 --> 00:35:56,130
of June 17th?
720
00:35:56,154 --> 00:35:57,698
My sister and I returned home,
721
00:35:57,722 --> 00:36:00,568
um, about 7:00 in the evening.
722
00:36:00,592 --> 00:36:01,935
We'd been visiting
with a sick aunt
723
00:36:01,959 --> 00:36:05,139
at the Hillside Sanitarium
in Mineral Springs.
724
00:36:05,163 --> 00:36:07,358
My sister went right to bed.
She wasn't feeling very well.
725
00:36:07,382 --> 00:36:09,660
She... She had a bad headache.
726
00:36:09,684 --> 00:36:11,029
And what happened later
727
00:36:11,053 --> 00:36:12,830
in the evening?
728
00:36:12,854 --> 00:36:15,966
About 9:00, I saw
the defendant drive up.
729
00:36:15,990 --> 00:36:17,502
I didn't want any
more trouble with him,
730
00:36:17,526 --> 00:36:19,537
so I jumped in my
car and went for a ride.
731
00:36:19,561 --> 00:36:21,872
What time did you arrive
732
00:36:21,896 --> 00:36:22,907
back at the Clark place?
733
00:36:22,931 --> 00:36:26,310
Mm, approximately
1:00 in the morning.
734
00:36:26,334 --> 00:36:29,280
Was the defendant's
car still in the driveway?
735
00:36:29,304 --> 00:36:31,248
No, sir, it was not.
736
00:36:31,272 --> 00:36:32,683
And all the lights in the house
737
00:36:32,707 --> 00:36:34,652
had been turned out.
738
00:36:34,676 --> 00:36:35,942
Thank you.
739
00:36:37,011 --> 00:36:38,144
Your witness.
740
00:36:39,781 --> 00:36:41,626
Now, um, Mr. Roper...
741
00:36:41,650 --> 00:36:44,261
you testified that
you and your sister
742
00:36:44,285 --> 00:36:46,380
arrived home at 7:00 p.m.
743
00:36:46,404 --> 00:36:48,149
on the night of her murder.
744
00:36:48,173 --> 00:36:49,550
That's right.
745
00:36:49,574 --> 00:36:51,853
What time did you
leave the sanitarium?
746
00:36:51,877 --> 00:36:53,655
About 2:00 in the afternoon.
747
00:36:53,679 --> 00:36:56,858
It took five hours to drive
approximately 100 miles?
748
00:36:58,917 --> 00:37:00,862
My sister liked to have
her hair done each week
749
00:37:00,886 --> 00:37:02,663
by a certain
hairstylist in Mesa.
750
00:37:02,687 --> 00:37:04,598
A fellow named Alberto.
751
00:37:04,622 --> 00:37:06,584
Uh, she'd stop in
at his beauty salon,
752
00:37:06,608 --> 00:37:07,985
then she'd rest for
a couple of hours
753
00:37:08,009 --> 00:37:10,088
at the Desert View
Inn before starting back.
754
00:37:10,112 --> 00:37:12,457
Alberto's is
adjacent to the inn.
755
00:37:12,481 --> 00:37:14,224
Mm-hm. A visit to
Alberto's seems to
756
00:37:14,248 --> 00:37:15,710
have been quite an ordeal.
757
00:37:15,734 --> 00:37:18,446
It doesn't make much sense
driving around the desert
758
00:37:18,470 --> 00:37:20,390
with a temperature
of 120 degrees.
759
00:37:21,506 --> 00:37:22,922
The inn was air-conditioned.
760
00:37:24,409 --> 00:37:25,953
Now, you also testified
761
00:37:25,977 --> 00:37:28,537
that the defendant
tried to kill you.
762
00:37:29,364 --> 00:37:30,942
He most certainly did.
763
00:37:30,966 --> 00:37:33,077
But the bullet missed
and went into a path
764
00:37:33,101 --> 00:37:34,634
made of decomposed granite.
765
00:37:35,487 --> 00:37:36,781
That's right.
766
00:37:36,805 --> 00:37:38,215
And the hole
caused by the bullet
767
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:39,617
was subsequently covered up.
768
00:37:39,641 --> 00:37:41,202
Is that correct? Yes.
769
00:37:41,226 --> 00:37:42,737
Yet, you had no difficulty
770
00:37:42,761 --> 00:37:44,005
leading the district attorney
771
00:37:44,029 --> 00:37:45,873
and the police directly to it.
772
00:37:45,897 --> 00:37:48,548
You can always tell where
a bullet enters the ground.
773
00:37:49,651 --> 00:37:51,195
With the court's permission,
774
00:37:51,219 --> 00:37:53,248
I should like to conduct
a little experiment.
775
00:37:53,272 --> 00:37:54,988
What kind of experiment?
776
00:38:03,365 --> 00:38:04,642
That box, Your Honor,
777
00:38:04,666 --> 00:38:06,944
contains decomposed granite.
778
00:38:06,968 --> 00:38:08,680
I should like to
fire a shot into it
779
00:38:08,704 --> 00:38:11,432
to see if the witness
can... determine
780
00:38:11,456 --> 00:38:13,200
where the bullet
enters the ground.
781
00:38:13,224 --> 00:38:14,468
Your Honor.
782
00:38:14,492 --> 00:38:15,937
I object.
783
00:38:15,961 --> 00:38:17,704
Counsel's turning
this into a sideshow.
784
00:38:17,728 --> 00:38:20,275
Oh, now, let's don't
get excited, Mr. Topham.
785
00:38:20,299 --> 00:38:22,744
Your witness made
a dogmatic statement
786
00:38:22,768 --> 00:38:23,778
that you could always tell
787
00:38:23,802 --> 00:38:26,013
where a bullet
entered the ground.
788
00:38:26,037 --> 00:38:28,516
Now, I'm going to allow
Mr. Mason his opportunity
789
00:38:28,540 --> 00:38:29,701
of testing him.
790
00:38:29,725 --> 00:38:32,036
Go ahead, counselor.
791
00:38:32,060 --> 00:38:33,971
You want him blindfolded?
792
00:38:33,995 --> 00:38:35,439
No. It will be satisfactory
793
00:38:35,463 --> 00:38:37,983
if he just turns
and faces the wall.
794
00:39:01,506 --> 00:39:03,866
You may turn around, Mr. Roper.
795
00:39:07,846 --> 00:39:09,257
You can't fool me this way.
796
00:39:09,281 --> 00:39:10,413
You fired a blank.
797
00:39:46,734 --> 00:39:48,412
I still say it was a blank.
798
00:39:48,436 --> 00:39:49,680
You planted the
bullet in the box
799
00:39:49,704 --> 00:39:50,915
before you brought it to court.
800
00:39:50,939 --> 00:39:52,983
Thank you, Mr. Roper.
801
00:39:53,007 --> 00:39:55,019
You've proved my point.
802
00:39:55,043 --> 00:39:57,622
Just because a bullet is found
in some decomposed granite,
803
00:39:57,646 --> 00:40:00,224
doesn't mean you can tell
when the bullet was fired...
804
00:40:00,248 --> 00:40:01,676
or who fired it.
805
00:40:01,700 --> 00:40:03,940
I'm through with the witness.
806
00:40:04,869 --> 00:40:07,170
Any further
questions on redirect?
807
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:09,967
No, Your Honor.
808
00:40:09,991 --> 00:40:11,323
You may step down.
809
00:40:13,995 --> 00:40:15,640
Call your next witness.
810
00:40:15,664 --> 00:40:17,664
I call Walter Sims.
811
00:40:21,936 --> 00:40:24,281
And I saw Chuck and
his nephew, Bill Shayne,
812
00:40:24,305 --> 00:40:26,350
pull up in front
of Harry's house.
813
00:40:26,374 --> 00:40:28,252
Did you overhear
their conversation
814
00:40:28,276 --> 00:40:29,954
with the, uh, defendant?
815
00:40:29,978 --> 00:40:32,189
Well, I-I... I wouldn't
want anyone to think
816
00:40:32,213 --> 00:40:33,924
that I was eavesdropping.
817
00:40:33,948 --> 00:40:36,293
Mr. Sims, the
question I asked was,
818
00:40:36,317 --> 00:40:38,696
"Did you overhear
their conversation?"
819
00:40:38,720 --> 00:40:39,830
Yes, sir.
820
00:40:39,854 --> 00:40:41,932
What did Mr. Clark
say to the defendant?
821
00:40:41,956 --> 00:40:44,434
He said he better act
decent to Mrs. Clark,
822
00:40:44,458 --> 00:40:45,887
or he'd knock his head off.
823
00:40:45,911 --> 00:40:47,805
And what was the
defendant's reply?
824
00:40:47,829 --> 00:40:50,908
Uh, he told Chuck that
Mrs. Clark was no good,
825
00:40:50,932 --> 00:40:52,510
and that she was responsible
826
00:40:52,534 --> 00:40:54,144
for Chuck trying to cheat him.
827
00:40:54,168 --> 00:40:55,846
Then the argument
got so hot and heavy
828
00:40:55,870 --> 00:40:56,898
that Bill Shayne... That...
829
00:40:56,922 --> 00:40:58,399
Uh, that's Chuck's nephew
830
00:40:58,423 --> 00:41:00,485
he had to step in
between to keep 'em apart.
831
00:41:00,509 --> 00:41:02,869
Thank you, Mr. Sims.
832
00:41:03,277 --> 00:41:04,611
Cross-examine.
833
00:41:08,617 --> 00:41:10,060
Now, Mr. Sims...
834
00:41:10,084 --> 00:41:12,697
how do you feel about the
defendant, Harry Bright?
835
00:41:12,721 --> 00:41:14,465
What do you mean,
"How do I feel?"
836
00:41:14,489 --> 00:41:15,633
Well, do you like him?
837
00:41:15,657 --> 00:41:17,335
Well, I don't hate him.
838
00:41:17,359 --> 00:41:19,420
Despite the fact that
you told many people
839
00:41:19,444 --> 00:41:22,123
that he and Mr. Clark
had swindled you
840
00:41:22,147 --> 00:41:23,657
out of a valuable
piece of property?
841
00:41:23,681 --> 00:41:25,659
Oh. I just told that story
842
00:41:25,683 --> 00:41:27,428
because it was a joke on me.
843
00:41:27,452 --> 00:41:28,829
Pretty expensive
joke, wasn't it?
844
00:41:28,853 --> 00:41:30,664
Well, it'd been my own fault.
845
00:41:30,688 --> 00:41:31,966
And you held no grievance?
846
00:41:31,990 --> 00:41:33,301
No.
847
00:41:33,325 --> 00:41:35,636
Now, Mr. Sims, are you
familiar with a private investigator
848
00:41:35,660 --> 00:41:36,759
named Philip Morgan?
849
00:41:37,862 --> 00:41:40,074
Um... yes.
850
00:41:40,098 --> 00:41:42,876
As a matter of fact,
didn't you hire Mr. Morgan
851
00:41:42,900 --> 00:41:44,929
to investigate Howard Roper
852
00:41:44,953 --> 00:41:46,564
and his sister, Margaret Clark?
853
00:41:46,588 --> 00:41:47,870
Yes.
854
00:41:49,173 --> 00:41:52,041
Is this the report that
Mr. Morgan furnished you?
855
00:41:54,712 --> 00:41:56,189
Well, I ain't sure.
856
00:41:56,213 --> 00:41:58,092
It's addressed to you, Mr. Sims.
857
00:41:58,116 --> 00:42:00,556
It's the same one you
gave the defendant.
858
00:42:01,385 --> 00:42:02,462
Yes.
859
00:42:02,486 --> 00:42:03,831
Yes.
860
00:42:03,855 --> 00:42:05,132
Your Honor, I should like this
861
00:42:05,156 --> 00:42:07,636
marked for identification.
862
00:42:10,078 --> 00:42:11,689
Thank you.
863
00:42:11,713 --> 00:42:14,124
Now, Mr. Sims,
according to this report...
864
00:42:14,148 --> 00:42:16,493
Now, look. I can explain that.
865
00:42:16,517 --> 00:42:18,729
You can explain why
you doctored the report?
866
00:42:18,753 --> 00:42:20,314
I didn't do that!
867
00:42:20,338 --> 00:42:23,083
You didn't insert the
word "not" in this report
868
00:42:23,107 --> 00:42:24,785
so that the line would read,
869
00:42:24,809 --> 00:42:26,687
"Howard Roper and Margaret Clark
870
00:42:26,711 --> 00:42:29,073
are definitely not
brother and sister"?
871
00:42:29,097 --> 00:42:31,425
I don't even own a typewriter!
872
00:42:31,449 --> 00:42:32,743
That doesn't answer my question.
873
00:42:32,767 --> 00:42:33,995
Why don't you ask Nell Gridley?
874
00:42:34,019 --> 00:42:36,280
Why, you dirty skunk!
875
00:42:37,305 --> 00:42:38,282
He's a filthy liar.
876
00:42:38,306 --> 00:42:39,450
He's borrowed my typewriter
877
00:42:39,474 --> 00:42:40,618
lots of times.
878
00:42:40,642 --> 00:42:42,552
I'm telling the truth, judge.
879
00:42:42,576 --> 00:42:43,754
I'm under oath!
880
00:42:43,778 --> 00:42:45,822
I'm glad you remembered.
881
00:42:45,846 --> 00:42:47,258
Go on, counselor.
882
00:42:47,282 --> 00:42:49,293
Your Honor.
883
00:42:49,317 --> 00:42:52,429
Now, do you deny ever
using Miss Gridley's typewriter?
884
00:42:52,453 --> 00:42:54,331
Absolutely.
885
00:42:54,355 --> 00:42:55,966
How did you get in
touch with Mr. Morgan
886
00:42:55,990 --> 00:42:57,200
in the first place?
887
00:42:57,224 --> 00:42:58,569
How did I get in touch?
888
00:42:58,593 --> 00:42:59,903
That's what I asked you.
889
00:42:59,927 --> 00:43:02,038
Well, I, uh...
890
00:43:02,062 --> 00:43:03,607
I don't remember.
891
00:43:03,631 --> 00:43:05,208
Then perhaps, uh...
892
00:43:05,232 --> 00:43:07,444
this will refresh your memory.
893
00:43:07,468 --> 00:43:08,779
It's a typewritten letter
894
00:43:08,803 --> 00:43:11,582
inquiring as to
Mr. Morgan's rates.
895
00:43:11,606 --> 00:43:13,205
That your signature?
896
00:43:16,428 --> 00:43:17,405
Yes.
897
00:43:17,429 --> 00:43:18,494
Let me see that.
898
00:43:21,633 --> 00:43:22,843
Your Honor, I would also like
899
00:43:22,867 --> 00:43:24,177
to, uh...
900
00:43:24,201 --> 00:43:26,721
have this marked
for identification.
901
00:43:29,407 --> 00:43:32,253
I... I forgot about
that, Your Honor.
902
00:43:32,277 --> 00:43:35,344
Seems to me you forget
very easily, Mr. Sims.
903
00:43:36,481 --> 00:43:38,281
Mr. Topham, you know what to do.
904
00:43:39,350 --> 00:43:40,350
Yes, Your Honor.
905
00:43:41,336 --> 00:43:43,246
You finished with the witness?
906
00:43:43,270 --> 00:43:44,415
Quite finished, Your Honor.
907
00:43:44,439 --> 00:43:46,216
Well, in that case, we
might as well wind up
908
00:43:46,240 --> 00:43:47,551
for the day.
909
00:43:47,575 --> 00:43:50,242
Court stands adjourned
until 10:00 tomorrow morning.
910
00:43:53,515 --> 00:43:55,425
Bailiff.
911
00:44:15,736 --> 00:44:16,780
Hi.
912
00:44:16,804 --> 00:44:18,148
Hi, Paul. Hi, Paul.
913
00:44:18,172 --> 00:44:19,216
Thanks.
914
00:44:19,240 --> 00:44:20,517
How did things
go in court today,
915
00:44:20,541 --> 00:44:22,319
or shouldn't I ask?
916
00:44:22,343 --> 00:44:23,787
Don't ask.
917
00:44:23,811 --> 00:44:25,990
Well, I wish I had some
cheery news for you.
918
00:44:26,014 --> 00:44:27,858
I just came back from Mesa.
919
00:44:27,882 --> 00:44:30,143
Howard Roper was a
pretty busy boy up there.
920
00:44:30,167 --> 00:44:31,328
He and his sister didn't stop
921
00:44:31,352 --> 00:44:32,996
at Mesa because of the heat.
922
00:44:33,020 --> 00:44:34,598
Roper had a girlfriend in town:
923
00:44:34,622 --> 00:44:37,201
a cocktail waitress
named Louise Dayton.
924
00:44:37,225 --> 00:44:39,402
Louise Dayton. Mm-hm.
925
00:44:39,426 --> 00:44:40,771
Registration cards.
926
00:44:40,795 --> 00:44:41,961
Desert View Inn.
927
00:44:44,565 --> 00:44:46,409
How long does it
take to drive to Mesa?
928
00:44:46,433 --> 00:44:48,178
Hm. About two hours.
929
00:44:48,202 --> 00:44:49,830
Well, I'm on my way.
930
00:44:49,854 --> 00:44:51,398
Did a great job, Paul.
931
00:44:51,422 --> 00:44:53,600
Buy him a drink, Della.
932
00:44:53,624 --> 00:44:54,735
Just one.
933
00:44:59,230 --> 00:45:02,042
What's it to you if I
know Howard Roper?
934
00:45:02,066 --> 00:45:04,911
I understand he spent a lot
of time with you, Miss Dayton.
935
00:45:04,935 --> 00:45:06,213
Anything wrong with that?
936
00:45:06,237 --> 00:45:09,071
Hardly. I'd say he
showed excellent taste.
937
00:45:10,207 --> 00:45:11,986
You can't soft-soap me, mister.
938
00:45:12,010 --> 00:45:13,553
It can't be done.
939
00:45:13,577 --> 00:45:16,857
Mr. Roper claims he saw you
every Wednesday afternoon.
940
00:45:16,881 --> 00:45:18,525
That's right.
941
00:45:18,549 --> 00:45:19,577
Where'd you go?
942
00:45:19,601 --> 00:45:21,344
No place.
943
00:45:21,368 --> 00:45:23,547
We stayed right here.
944
00:45:23,571 --> 00:45:25,415
All the time he was in town?
945
00:45:25,439 --> 00:45:27,084
Every minute.
946
00:45:27,108 --> 00:45:28,852
I used to drive out with him
947
00:45:28,876 --> 00:45:30,588
when he went to
pick up his sister.
948
00:45:30,612 --> 00:45:33,457
You don't frighten
me, Mr. Mason.
949
00:45:33,481 --> 00:45:35,626
I'll swear to it if I have to.
950
00:45:35,650 --> 00:45:38,362
You may have to
do that, Miss Dayton.
951
00:45:42,524 --> 00:45:44,385
Now, Mr. Shayne...
952
00:45:45,943 --> 00:45:47,153
To your knowledge,
953
00:45:47,177 --> 00:45:49,617
had the defendant ever
been in this house before?
954
00:45:50,915 --> 00:45:51,958
Not that I know of.
955
00:45:51,982 --> 00:45:53,260
He... He was on the grounds
956
00:45:53,284 --> 00:45:56,497
the day he had the
run-in with Howard Roper.
957
00:45:56,521 --> 00:45:58,565
Then if the defendant's
fingerprints were found
958
00:45:58,589 --> 00:46:00,333
in Mrs. Clark's bedroom,
959
00:46:00,357 --> 00:46:01,702
they must have been left there
960
00:46:01,726 --> 00:46:02,703
the night of the murder.
961
00:46:02,727 --> 00:46:04,872
Your Honor, I object.
962
00:46:04,896 --> 00:46:07,307
Not only does the question
call for a conclusion,
963
00:46:07,331 --> 00:46:08,826
it's leading and suggestive.
964
00:46:08,850 --> 00:46:11,550
Objection sustained.
965
00:46:12,786 --> 00:46:14,970
You may cross-examine.
966
00:46:17,041 --> 00:46:18,852
Now, Mr. Shayne...
967
00:46:18,876 --> 00:46:21,188
I've only a few questions.
968
00:46:21,212 --> 00:46:24,691
Now, on the afternoon
of June 17th...
969
00:46:24,715 --> 00:46:26,260
you were alone
at the Clark ranch.
970
00:46:26,284 --> 00:46:27,694
Is that correct? Yes, sir.
971
00:46:27,718 --> 00:46:29,129
And where was your uncle?
972
00:46:29,153 --> 00:46:31,098
He drove to La
Costa on business.
973
00:46:31,122 --> 00:46:32,866
He didn't get back till 8.
974
00:46:32,890 --> 00:46:34,568
During that afternoon,
975
00:46:34,592 --> 00:46:36,870
did Howard Roper
come back to the house?
976
00:46:36,894 --> 00:46:37,938
Not that I know of.
977
00:46:37,962 --> 00:46:40,074
He drove Margaret
up to visit her aunt.
978
00:46:40,098 --> 00:46:41,908
If he had come back,
you would have seen him?
979
00:46:41,932 --> 00:46:43,643
Oh. Not necessarily.
980
00:46:43,667 --> 00:46:45,946
It's a pretty big
place, you know.
981
00:46:45,970 --> 00:46:47,414
Isn't there another reason
982
00:46:47,438 --> 00:46:48,999
you might not have seen him?
983
00:46:49,023 --> 00:46:50,868
Didn't you spend that afternoon
984
00:46:50,892 --> 00:46:53,804
at the Desert View Inn at Mesa?
985
00:46:53,828 --> 00:46:55,289
Me?
986
00:46:55,313 --> 00:46:56,390
Didn't you register there
987
00:46:56,414 --> 00:46:58,342
under the name of
"Howard Roper..."
988
00:46:58,366 --> 00:47:00,678
as you had on many
other occasions?
989
00:47:00,702 --> 00:47:02,412
I don't have to take this, do I?
990
00:47:02,436 --> 00:47:04,181
Just answer
Mr. Mason's questions.
991
00:47:04,205 --> 00:47:05,800
He doesn't know
what he's talking about.
992
00:47:05,824 --> 00:47:07,734
Then he'll answer to me.
993
00:47:07,758 --> 00:47:08,969
Proceed, Mr. Mason.
994
00:47:08,993 --> 00:47:10,003
Your Honor.
995
00:47:10,027 --> 00:47:11,572
You had a romance
with Margaret Clark.
996
00:47:11,596 --> 00:47:13,107
That's not true.
997
00:47:13,131 --> 00:47:14,441
She threatened
to go to your uncle
998
00:47:14,465 --> 00:47:16,026
and tell him the whole story.
999
00:47:16,050 --> 00:47:17,961
She did not. I maintain she did.
1000
00:47:17,985 --> 00:47:19,613
I maintain that's
why you killed her.
1001
00:47:19,637 --> 00:47:21,148
I tell you, you're wrong!
1002
00:47:21,172 --> 00:47:24,018
Then you deny registering
at the Desert View
1003
00:47:24,042 --> 00:47:25,886
under the name of "Howard Roper"
1004
00:47:25,910 --> 00:47:28,656
on certain Wednesdays
during May and June?
1005
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:30,024
I certainly do.
1006
00:47:30,048 --> 00:47:31,697
Mr. Kellogg, will
you please stand?
1007
00:47:34,269 --> 00:47:36,513
Mr. Shayne...
1008
00:47:36,537 --> 00:47:38,070
do you recognize that man?
1009
00:47:39,641 --> 00:47:40,634
No.
1010
00:47:40,658 --> 00:47:42,269
With the court's permission,
1011
00:47:42,293 --> 00:47:44,221
I would like Mr. Kellogg
to identify himself.
1012
00:47:44,245 --> 00:47:46,891
I'm the manager of
the Desert View Inn.
1013
00:47:46,915 --> 00:47:48,347
Thank you, Mr. Kellogg.
1014
00:47:49,784 --> 00:47:52,763
Now, suppose Mr. Kellogg
testifies that you were there
1015
00:47:52,787 --> 00:47:54,398
every Wednesday afternoon,
1016
00:47:54,422 --> 00:47:55,799
and that you had registered
1017
00:47:55,823 --> 00:47:57,201
under the name
of "Howard Roper"?
1018
00:47:57,225 --> 00:47:58,505
He'd be wrong!
1019
00:48:00,295 --> 00:48:01,295
All right.
1020
00:48:05,149 --> 00:48:06,126
Mr. Kellogg, may I see
1021
00:48:06,150 --> 00:48:07,628
those registration
cards, please?
1022
00:48:07,652 --> 00:48:08,662
Yes, sir.
1023
00:48:08,686 --> 00:48:09,751
Thank you.
1024
00:48:15,025 --> 00:48:17,037
Your Honor, I would like
to have a handwriting expert
1025
00:48:17,061 --> 00:48:18,511
look at these cards.
1026
00:48:22,133 --> 00:48:23,249
Sergeant Givens?
1027
00:48:26,237 --> 00:48:28,549
Can you do what Mr. Mason says?
1028
00:48:28,573 --> 00:48:29,950
Just give me an hour, sir,
1029
00:48:29,974 --> 00:48:31,785
and a sample of his handwriting.
1030
00:48:31,809 --> 00:48:33,169
You'll have them both.
1031
00:48:34,512 --> 00:48:35,989
The witness is instructed
1032
00:48:36,013 --> 00:48:37,558
to give Sergeant Givens
1033
00:48:37,582 --> 00:48:40,093
a sample of his handwriting.
1034
00:48:40,117 --> 00:48:41,928
You may step down now.
1035
00:48:41,952 --> 00:48:43,430
Temporarily.
1036
00:48:43,454 --> 00:48:45,120
The court is adjourned for...
1037
00:48:46,841 --> 00:48:49,737
I said, you may step down.
1038
00:49:03,224 --> 00:49:05,669
So money was the
main motive? Right.
1039
00:49:05,693 --> 00:49:08,172
Oh, would you please
put those bags in my car?
1040
00:49:08,196 --> 00:49:09,706
You bet, Mr. Mason.
1041
00:49:09,730 --> 00:49:10,808
Thank you.
1042
00:49:10,832 --> 00:49:12,509
You're welcome.
1043
00:49:12,533 --> 00:49:14,845
But a motive with a twist.
1044
00:49:14,869 --> 00:49:16,613
Bill Shayne couldn't
gain financially
1045
00:49:16,637 --> 00:49:18,115
by Margaret Clark's death.
1046
00:49:18,139 --> 00:49:20,383
But he stood to lose
by her being alive.
1047
00:49:20,407 --> 00:49:22,152
His uncle could have
revoked the trust fund.
1048
00:49:22,176 --> 00:49:24,021
Mm-hm. So...
1049
00:49:24,045 --> 00:49:25,222
So...
1050
00:49:25,246 --> 00:49:27,090
Bill got the gun out
of Harry Bright's car
1051
00:49:27,114 --> 00:49:28,992
and shot her when she
returned home that evening.
1052
00:49:29,016 --> 00:49:30,327
He felt certain
there was nothing
1053
00:49:30,351 --> 00:49:31,862
that could link
him with Margaret.
1054
00:49:31,886 --> 00:49:33,263
What did? Lies.
1055
00:49:33,287 --> 00:49:35,265
And registration cards.
1056
00:49:35,289 --> 00:49:36,283
What lies?
1057
00:49:36,307 --> 00:49:37,384
Everybody's.
1058
00:49:37,408 --> 00:49:38,385
Bill Shayne was lying.
1059
00:49:38,409 --> 00:49:39,452
Salty Sims was lying.
1060
00:49:39,476 --> 00:49:41,721
And most important,
Howard Roper was lying.
1061
00:49:41,745 --> 00:49:44,191
Roper knew that his sister
was involved with Shayne,
1062
00:49:44,215 --> 00:49:45,959
and he knew that
Shayne had killed her.
1063
00:49:45,983 --> 00:49:47,961
To all intents, he'd been
blackmailing his sister,
1064
00:49:47,985 --> 00:49:49,496
so he planned on
keeping a meal ticket
1065
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:50,953
by blackmailing Shayne.
1066
00:49:52,373 --> 00:49:54,468
And the registration cards?
1067
00:49:54,492 --> 00:49:56,703
From the Desert View
Inn. There were 12 of them.
1068
00:49:56,727 --> 00:49:58,405
Should only have been six.
1069
00:49:58,429 --> 00:50:00,407
Every time that Howard
Roper stopped at Mesa,
1070
00:50:00,431 --> 00:50:02,642
he'd spend the afternoon
with Louise Dayton, remember?
1071
00:50:02,666 --> 00:50:03,894
Not at the Desert View.
1072
00:50:03,918 --> 00:50:07,030
Well. Obviously, someone
else was using his name.
1073
00:50:07,054 --> 00:50:09,783
But it didn't necessarily
have to be Bill Shayne.
1074
00:50:09,807 --> 00:50:11,451
That's right.
1075
00:50:11,475 --> 00:50:14,187
But I just couldn't
believe it was Salty Sims.
1076
00:50:14,211 --> 00:50:15,188
Bring her with you.
1077
00:50:15,212 --> 00:50:16,212
Oh!
