00:09:34♪
00:09:39Okay, check on him.
00:09:42Sit down, Mrs. Grover.
00:09:45I understand you haven't seen your husband since Monday.
00:09:48That's right, I haven't.
00:09:50What's this all about? Has Sam done something?
00:09:53Any idea where we could find him?
00:09:55He just left without saying where he was going.
00:09:58You and he have some trouble?
00:10:01A little argument. Nothing serious.
00:10:03Well, was it serious enough that he might have moved into a hotel?
00:10:07I guess so.
00:10:09He left home mad and I haven't heard from him since.
00:10:12Please, whatever's happened, tell me.
00:10:21Ever see these before?
00:10:24I don't know. They look like my husband's.
00:10:26The watch I gave him our first Christmas together.
00:10:29Where'd you find these?
00:10:31A room registered to Sam Grover at the Sunset Beach Hotel caught on fire.
00:10:36These were on the body that plunged through the window into the alley.
00:10:40He's dead?
00:10:46We can go on with the questioning later if you'd like to lie down for a while, Mrs. Grover.
00:10:51You think Sam was murdered?
00:10:54That's why you brought me here to homicide.
00:10:57Please, I want to know now how it happened.
00:11:00Can you think of any reason anybody would want to kill him, Mrs. Grover?
00:11:04No, no. Sam didn't have any enemies of any kind.
00:11:08Are you sure there's nothing that you can tell us?
00:11:11Sam was never mixed up in any trouble of any kind.
00:11:14I can't understand. I just can't believe it.
00:11:18I couldn't get any clear prints.
00:11:20Look, you must have some reason to think that this was done deliberately.
00:11:23Now, if somebody's responsible, I want them caught.
00:11:26Mrs. Grover, we haven't any evidence.
00:11:28There's nothing for us to work with if you can't give us some leads.
00:11:32All I can figure is an accident case.
00:11:34That's all I can say to the coroner's inquest.
00:11:37Accidental death.
00:11:53What a lovely creature. Is that your daughter?
00:11:58My granddaughter. She's studying surgery in Switzerland.
00:12:05Naturally, for a while they had me really desperate.
00:12:08Murder that would mess up the whole thing.
00:12:11But it came out all right.
00:12:14I think I gave quite a performance.
00:12:17I wish you could have caught me at the morgue. I was really terrific.
00:12:21Must have been kind of a cold house to play to.
00:12:24For that much money, you could put on quite an act.
00:12:26It was awful.
00:12:28Having to look at some poor, burned, broken body and say,
00:12:31Yes, it's Sam. I know it's Sam.
00:12:34I'm still shaking.
00:12:36Now I've got to see you.
00:12:40And of course we realize your great loss, Mrs. Grover.
00:12:44Believe me, you have the deepest and sincerest sympathy of ourselves personally, of the company.
00:12:49But in your bereavement,
00:12:51it may fortify you somewhat to know that there are no financial worries to add to your grief.
00:12:55That's why I've come at this time.
00:12:57It was very good of you.
00:12:59Your husband left you quite well provided for with his insurance.
00:13:02Now if you'll just sign these applications, please, Mrs. Grover.
00:13:05I didn't realize there was any insurance that came to me.
00:13:08I handled the policy for Sam.
00:13:10He originally took it out with his son Tom as beneficiary.
00:13:13Then sometime after he married you, he changed it in your favor.
00:13:17Sam often spoke of doing that.
00:13:19I told him that any money I received from his death
00:13:22wouldn't give me any possible happiness.
00:13:25The company isn't completely satisfied with the police report.
00:13:28The police said Sam evidently did what people most often do
00:13:32in the panic of finding themselves trapped and burning.
00:13:35He jumped out the window.
00:13:38Certainly appears to have all the elements of pure accident.
00:13:41We don't know. We just have to find out.
00:13:44But if the police accept it, it is an accident.
00:13:46We aren't always satisfied with the theory the police accept.
00:13:49It's more or less a formality investigating any case where there's possible doubt.
00:13:53It's agonizing to think that there is any possible doubt.
00:13:57It's been so difficult for me to resign myself
00:14:00even to the fact of Sam being dead by this horrible accident.
00:14:04But in any case, Mrs. Grover, you'll receive the money.
00:14:07But before we settle, I'll have to do a certain amount of investigating.
00:14:10I understand, of course.
00:14:12My report ought to be ready within a week,
00:14:15unless there are disturbing difficulties.
00:14:18You'll hear from me.
00:14:19Bye.
00:14:36I think you'll like it here.
00:14:39Room's ready, Mrs. Peek, if you want to show the gentlemen.
00:14:41It is nothing grand, Mr. Johnson, but it's comfortable and quiet.
00:14:45That's about all I ask.
00:14:46I and my other two roomers are away at work all day.
00:14:49There's no one around except Hilda.
00:14:51She won't bother you.
00:14:52That's fine.
00:14:53Frankly, the real reason I'm in Washington is confidential.
00:14:56You know.
00:14:57We certainly do know.
00:14:59The rest of us here have government jobs.
00:15:01We never ask questions of each other.
00:15:03Everybody minds his own business.
00:15:05Well, I guess I came to the right place.
00:15:07Well, come along.
00:15:10Oh, hello, Tom.
00:15:12Come in.
00:15:13Thanks.
00:15:14I hoped you'd come when you heard.
00:15:17I'm glad you're here.
00:15:19Are you?
00:15:21It isn't the same without him, is it?
00:15:24You haven't been around for a long time.
00:15:27I'm sorry it had to be these circumstances that brought you back.
00:15:31I want you to know that I don't hold anything against you
00:15:33for coming between us.
00:15:35I hope not.
00:15:36There's no reason to it.
00:15:38It was all a misunderstanding.
00:15:40If having you gave my father a couple of years of happiness,
00:15:42that's fine with me.
00:15:44I tried to make him happy, Tom.
00:15:46I like to feel that I did.
00:15:48And believe me,
00:15:49I don't hold any resentment about Dad changing the insurance policy
00:15:52so you get the money.
00:15:53Oh, I never wanted him to.
00:15:55I didn't know anything about it until yesterday.
00:15:58He wanted to leave you well-fixed, and he did.
00:16:00I'm sorry.
00:16:03He wanted to leave you well-fixed, and he did.
00:16:05You'll be all right.
00:16:07I'm going to give you your share, Tom.
00:16:10I'm sure Sam would expect that.
00:16:12Thanks, Edna.
00:16:13I don't want any of the money.
00:16:15I'll get along okay on my own.
00:16:17I want to be sure.
00:16:19Did you get married yet?
00:16:21I was going to,
00:16:23but this postpones that for a while anyway.
00:16:26I think your father would want you to go along the way you planned,
00:16:29just as though nothing had happened.
00:16:31I can't now, with this hanging over me.
00:16:33Well, it's not a family scandal, Tom.
00:16:35Your father died in a fire.
00:16:36Only I'm not so sure it was an accident.
00:16:38Well, how can you say that, Tom?
00:16:41I know this hit you very hard.
00:16:43It does me, too.
00:16:46But we must keep our senses.
00:16:48The police and the insurance company have investigated,
00:16:51and they've accepted it as accidental death.
00:16:54I'm not making any accusations against anybody,
00:16:57but I'm going to find out if there was anything criminal about my father's death,
00:17:00and if there was, I'm going to make sure that something's done about it.
00:17:16I don't know what I figured I could find out from her.
00:17:19It's just a wild idea that I could tell something by the way she's taking it.
00:17:22She's smart.
00:17:23If she'd been putting on a big crying act,
00:17:25I'd have been sure she was faking to cover up something.
00:17:27Are you going back to the police?
00:17:29It doesn't seem any use in talking to them or the insurance people anymore.
00:17:32It's just my suspicion.
00:17:34Tom, what about a private detective?
00:17:38There's one who does some work for my boss sometimes.
00:17:40He seems to be pretty good.
00:17:42He probably costs too much.
00:17:43He's sort of eccentric.
00:17:45He may take the case cheap if it interests him.
00:17:47That isn't exactly what we've been saving our money for.
00:17:50I want to do all I can.
00:17:52I know your father meant a great deal to you.
00:17:54I can't just stand still and take it the way he died.
00:17:58Maybe we will talk to that investigator friend of yours.
00:18:07Yes?
00:18:09Mr. Stewart, are you busy?
00:18:11I'm most certainly going to be.
00:18:14This is delightful.
00:18:16You're here at last.
00:18:19My dear, you're being followed, did you know?
00:18:21Mr. Stewart, this is my fiancé.
00:18:23Your fiancé?
00:18:24How do you do?
00:18:25How do you do?
00:18:26You depress me deeply, Marilyn.
00:18:28However, I shall subject the young man to a thorough investigation
00:18:32and advise you whether to proceed with matrimony.
00:18:35Tom needs your help, Mr. Stewart.
00:18:37Really?
00:18:38I think I'm qualified to help you out of any trouble.
00:18:41Do come over and sit down.
00:18:49I am now ready to be helpful.
00:18:52First of all, I better tell you that I can only afford about $50.
00:19:00I'm very glad you did tell me that first.
00:19:02A sudden lethargy has descended upon me.
00:19:05You may now tell me, young man, what troubles you $50 worth.
00:19:10Go ahead, please, Tom.
00:19:11Okay.
00:19:13Mr. Stewart, the other night, my father, Sam Grover...
00:19:16Sam Grover?
00:19:18I find I must apologize for my earlier levity.
00:19:21And you are here, obviously, because there is some question in your mind
00:19:24concerning the circumstances of your father's exit from this pleasant little world.
00:19:30Only it isn't so pleasant to me right now.
00:19:32And I don't think it was any accident.
00:19:34Which is a direct divergence from the theory accepted by our esteemed police department.
00:19:39I join you in doubting their infallibility.
00:19:42I have a hunch my father was murdered.
00:19:44I imagine we've finally got around to why this young lady brought you here.
00:19:48A motive might be of some use.
00:19:50Frankly, I haven't much to go on, Mr. Stewart.
00:19:52Just my suspicions.
00:19:54My father's wife, his second wife, she's not my mother.
00:19:57Yes, I've seen her pictures in the daily gazettes.
00:20:00Dad's life insurance pays her $50,000.
00:20:04Hmm.
00:20:06$50,000.
00:20:08A nice round sum.
00:20:10I think we may well consider Mrs. Grover our number one suspect.
00:20:14And you have indeed a motive, laddie.
00:20:17I am intrigued by the possibilities.
00:20:20I shall give the matter definite consideration.
00:20:23I guess you'd want the $50 now.
00:20:25Not a franc till I come up with something tangible.
00:20:28I shall get in touch with you when I have something stimulating to report.
00:20:31You're being awfully kind, Mr. Stewart.
00:20:34Yes, I suppose I am.
00:20:36Goodbye.
00:20:37Goodbye.
00:20:47Goodbye.
00:21:10What kind of a post office is this?
00:21:12Right here in the home headquarters of the U.S. Postal Service,
00:21:15and it comes around faithfully every day,
00:21:17and you don't turn up a postcard or anything for it.
00:21:19Not even a bill.
00:21:21Nothing for Sam Johnson.
00:21:22Nothing, huh?
00:21:25Thanks.
00:21:38Hello?
00:21:39Edna?
00:21:40Yes?
00:21:41This is Sam, Edna.
00:21:45Sam?
00:21:47Where are you?
00:21:48I'll call you back. Someone's coming.
00:22:16Allow me.
00:22:19Who are you?
00:22:20Huntington Stewart, one of the better private investigators.
00:22:24How'd you get in here?
00:22:26The doors of most homes are very vulnerable to pass keys.
00:22:29I felt that our little telephone conversation
00:22:32entitled me to guest privileges.
00:22:35I don't recall any telephone conversation with you.
00:22:38It was rather brief.
00:22:40I didn't allow you to be very communicative.
00:22:42I'm awfully afraid I hung up rather rudely right after you said,
00:22:46Sam, where are you?
00:22:51I was so startled.
00:22:53Voice from the dead, I...
00:22:55I didn't know what I was saying.
00:22:57You said just the right thing.
00:22:59Your answer was very gratifying.
00:23:01You don't look like the type to play telephone tricks
00:23:04on widows for your amusement.
00:23:06I suppose it does need a little explanation.
00:23:09Yes, it does.
00:23:10I was engaged by young Mr. Tom Grover
00:23:13to investigate his father's untimely demise.
00:23:16I shouldn't think an upset son's wild ravings
00:23:19would inspire anyone with your experience.
00:23:22Well, frankly, the boy's problem doesn't interest me particularly.
00:23:28Really? What would?
00:23:30Money.
00:23:32Afraid you've come to the wrong place.
00:23:34Let's not forget, Mrs. Stewart,
00:23:36Afraid you've come to the wrong place.
00:23:38Let's not forget, Mrs. Grover,
00:23:40I am aware your husband is alive.
00:23:42You have a problem.
00:23:43You.
00:23:44I admit I misjudged you, my dear.
00:23:46In a case of this sort,
00:23:48one's first suspicions are apt to be rather nasty.
00:23:51You know, I found that out.
00:23:54People seem to get the idea I killed Sam
00:23:57so I could collect his insurance.
00:23:59I fell into that error,
00:24:01except that I didn't feel you could have accomplished it alone.
00:24:04I wouldn't even have thought of it.
00:24:06In pursuing my false premise,
00:24:08I regretfully announced that I stooped
00:24:10to employing the basest procedure of my profession.
00:24:13And that must be pretty base.
00:24:15It's almost always a dull business,
00:24:17and your case was no exception.
00:24:19I was quite bored following you and that young man.
00:24:22Any particular young man?
00:24:24That handsome chap.
00:24:26I believe his name is Ray.
00:24:28So you've seen Ray and me together.
00:24:30That's not enough.
00:24:32Quite sufficient to have made it seem likely
00:24:34you and your young man contrived Sam's death,
00:24:37making it look like an accident,
00:24:39so that after you'd collected the insurance,
00:24:41you and the boyfriend could go away together.
00:24:43You'll never find anything to implicate Ray.
00:24:45Possibly not.
00:24:47Getting any material evidence against you two
00:24:49would have required some physical effort on my part.
00:24:52And I'm a lazy creature.
00:24:54Besides, character traits are so much more intriguing.
00:24:58I'm sure people's minds are more interesting
00:25:00than their fingerprints.
00:25:01Absolutely.
00:25:02I find we have one thing in common.
00:25:04You and I?
00:25:05You and I.
00:25:07It takes money to make us happy.
00:25:09Money isn't everything, they say.
00:25:11Speaking of money,
00:25:12I possess certain priceless jewels of information.
00:25:15Priceless?
00:25:17The very thought of a close association
00:25:19with this Ray fellow would elevate eyebrows
00:25:22among the insurance and police people.
00:25:24You really have an evil mind.
00:25:26A very valuable asset in my profession,
00:25:28dealing with the people that I do.
00:25:30No doubt.
00:25:31And the revelation that your husband is actually alive,
00:25:35and you knew it when you signed the insurance claim,
00:25:38would inevitably result in your conviction for fraud.
00:25:41I have a feeling you're not going to tell them.
00:25:45No.
00:25:46Neither my client nor I have anything to gain
00:25:49by your being sent to prison.
00:25:51I'm not hollering help yet.
00:25:53You're in no position to holler.
00:25:55Personally, I hope very much that you get the money.
00:25:58The full amount.
00:26:00That's what I've been waiting for.
00:26:02And I feel definitely that the son Tom
00:26:05should share in the benefits from the insurance.
00:26:09I wondered how you were going to put the proposition.
00:26:13Didn't Tom tell you that I offered him some of the money
00:26:16and he refused to take any part of it?
00:26:18Yes.
00:26:19But then you could say how much.
00:26:21Now I'm in a position to name the amount.
00:26:24How nice for you.
00:26:26I feel that $5,000 would be a fitting sum.
00:26:30The lad wants to get married.
00:26:32I suppose you realize I won't get any $5,000
00:26:35until the insurance company pays off.
00:26:37Up until that point, my client and I
00:26:39shall be paragons of patience.
00:26:41You'll keep in touch with me, I'm sure.
00:26:44Mm-hmm.
00:26:45Constantly.
00:27:06No jackpot yet, honey.
00:27:09Mainly because young Tom managed to complicate matters.
00:27:13So there's been some delay.
00:27:15But relax.
00:27:16Everything's OK now.
00:27:18The money ought to come through within another week or so
00:27:21and then you can expect me very soon.
00:27:26I'm sending you a nice gift package of California fruit,
00:27:29which you must miss terribly back there.
00:27:32You see, I'm thinking about you.
00:27:36So take it easy, old boy.
00:27:38I know you must be nervous, so am I.
00:27:41Only there's nothing to worry about.
00:27:44But please, Sam, don't get upset and do anything crazy.
00:27:48Please.
00:27:49Just stay planted there.
00:27:51Lay low a little longer.
00:27:53And as soon as I get the money, I'll be on my way to you.
00:27:59Love, Edna.
00:28:14Oh, good morning, Mr. Johnson.
00:28:29Morning, Hilda.
00:28:34I guess you didn't even bother to take your hat off.
00:28:38I don't understand.
00:28:39A landlady asked me to tell you she wouldn't need you any longer.
00:28:42Sorry.
00:28:43Why, I wonder.
00:28:44Mrs. Peek never complained of my work.
00:28:46I guess it's because she's going to quit her own job
00:28:48and take care of the house herself.
00:28:50Oh, well, it doesn't matter.
00:28:51I'll get another position, a better one.
00:28:53Mrs. Peek owed me for a week and a half.
00:28:55Did she leave my pay?
00:28:56Oh, your pay?
00:28:57Uh-uh.
00:28:58Not with me.
00:28:59Well, that's funny, too.
00:29:01She knows she owes me.
00:29:03Everybody else gone for the day?
00:29:05Nobody will be here till evening.
00:29:06No use of you hanging around.
00:29:08I'll remind Mrs. Peek.
00:29:09You can pick up your money tomorrow morning.
00:29:34You've got a lot of nice, solid, substantial stuff here.
00:29:37Yeah, my wife picked it all out.
00:29:39She didn't want to be around this morning.
00:29:41I figured this business would embarrass her.
00:29:43Would a loan of $500 make you happy?
00:29:45$500?
00:29:47I was thinking about a lot more money than that.
00:29:49Living room, dining room, kitchen.
00:29:51Four bedrooms upstairs.
00:29:53That's a lot of furniture.
00:29:54We allow about 10% on our assessment.
00:29:57I'd be glad to recommend a loan on that basis to the company.
00:30:00OK.
00:30:01It's only for an emergency, anyway.
00:30:06If you'll be down in the office this afternoon,
00:30:08we'll have the cash for you.
00:30:09Thanks a lot.
00:30:10Oh, uh, you'll notify us if you intend to move the stuff.
00:30:13Oh, don't worry about it.
00:30:14The stuff will be here.
00:30:15It isn't going no place.
00:30:16OK.
00:30:30Get me the number of the American Airlines.
00:30:37This is what you wanted, isn't it, Tom?
00:30:38Uh-huh.
00:30:39Thanks, Edna.
00:30:40If there's anything more of his you want,
00:30:41you'll let me know, won't you?
00:30:42Yeah, I will.
00:30:44The insurance money should come through in a day or so,
00:30:46and then everything will be all right, won't it?
00:30:49Nothing will ever be all right until I find out
00:30:51what really happened to Dad.
00:30:53Say, what is this?
00:30:54Just how much money do you think you can get out of me anyway?
00:30:56I told you, I don't want any money from you.
00:30:58Oh, don't play so innocent.
00:30:59Sure, that's what you told me.
00:31:00Very upstanding and honorable.
00:31:02And then you send that Huntington Stewart
00:31:04around to gouge me good.
00:31:05I don't know what you're talking about.
00:31:06Of course not.
00:31:07You wouldn't.
00:31:08I talked to Stewart about seeing if he could find out
00:31:10anything about my father's death.
00:31:12That's all.
00:31:13Stewart told me today that he hasn't anything on you.
00:31:16Or has he?
00:31:17You better go, Tom.
00:31:18You're being ridiculous.
00:31:19Maybe I am, but I don't think so.
00:31:21Tom, the pipes.
00:31:23Don't forget the pipe stand.
00:31:26Tom, let's not fight anymore.
00:31:28Now that your father's gone,
00:31:30why can't we be friends?
00:31:44You lied to me.
00:31:45You told me you didn't have anything on Edna.
00:31:47Now talk.
00:31:48I can't explain when you're throttling my vocal cords.
00:31:51All right, now what do you know that's worth money to Edna?
00:31:54I find it impossible to express myself intelligently
00:31:57under the constant threat of your violence.
00:32:01May I sit down?
00:32:04OK, I'm waiting, Stewart.
00:32:08Do you know Ray Belden?
00:32:10No, who is he?
00:32:11A handsome young friend of Edna Grover's.
00:32:14I might say a very good friend.
00:32:16No, we're getting somewhere.
00:32:18When I was able, by my Machiavellian machinations,
00:32:21to learn of their association...
00:32:23Go on.
00:32:24It seemed quite possible that Edna and he
00:32:27had conspired to do away with your father.
00:32:29So they could have each other and plenty of money besides.
00:32:32That's it, we've got it.
00:32:34That was my conclusion.
00:32:36May I rise now?
00:32:37I should like to repair my appearance.
00:32:45Better put this away before you tear it in two.
00:32:49Why didn't you tell me about this guy Ray before?
00:32:51Why didn't you tell the police?
00:32:53Because the deed seemed to have been accomplished so adroitly
00:32:55there was no evidence.
00:32:56All we could possibly prove was motive.
00:32:59I had what I believed was a better plan.
00:33:01Yes, sure, use what you knew to put the bite on Edna
00:33:04and make yourself some money out of my father's death.
00:33:06My dear boy, my plan is for you to receive the benefit
00:33:09from the insurance.
00:33:10You think I want any part of the proceeds
00:33:12from my father being murdered?
00:33:14I quite see your point.
00:33:15A very admirable attitude.
00:33:17I don't like you cutting yourself in either.
00:33:19Lay off, Edna.
00:33:20Cut my own ideas about what to do with her, her and that guy.
00:33:23I suppose it's useless to advise you
00:33:25against any aggressive action.
00:33:27In my book, they kill my father.
00:33:29I had an intuition you'd lose your head
00:33:31when you learned about Edna and her boyfriend.
00:33:33Why don't you let me have a chat with this Ray?
00:33:36Because I'm going to have a little talk with him myself.
00:33:38As an older and wiser head, I must warn you
00:33:41that pursuing this any further
00:33:42will only be disastrous to you.
00:33:44Maybe.
00:33:45I'm thinking mostly about how disastrous
00:33:47it's going to be to Edna.
00:33:49Her friend, Ray.
00:34:19Ray.
00:34:20Ray.
00:34:21Ray.
00:34:22Ray.

00:35:43Ray.
00:35:44Ray.
00:35:45Ray.
00:35:46Don't be silly, darling.
00:35:47There's nothing to be scared of now.
00:35:49This is our last moment together for three long weeks.
00:35:58You stick around for a while?
00:36:00Well, we still ought to play it safe, Anna.
00:36:02Let's not let anything spoil it all now.
00:36:05We'll have the rest of our lives together.
00:36:07I wish we were going to be married right away.
00:36:10I hate leaving alone tomorrow.
00:36:13Well, it was your idea we'd take off separately and meet later.
00:36:16It's really smarter that way, isn't it?
00:36:19Right now, I wish I had even thought of it.
00:36:22Maybe it isn't so smart.
00:36:24Maybe you won't come to join me.
00:36:26I'll be following right behind you.
00:36:28Frisco, then Diamond Head,
00:36:31and the boat that docks one week after yours.
00:36:34I'm no years even higher with you.
00:36:39Edna, I need some new clothes,
00:36:42and I'll have to get by until I meet you over there.
00:36:45Of course, Ray. I'll write you a check.
00:36:52I hate taking money from you.
00:36:54Get used to it, Lem.
00:36:56It offers you quite a future.
00:36:58I'll put on it for dancing.
00:37:01There you are.
00:37:02Thanks.
00:37:04Ray, honey, you're sure you won't go with me in the morning?
00:37:07We could change a ticket in Frisco.
00:37:09It's much better if you slip away quietly and leave me here.
00:37:12Then nobody will suspect us.
00:37:14They'll notice when I drop out of sight.
00:37:16I guess it's best.
00:37:21Oh, darling, darling.
00:37:23See you soon, Edna.
00:37:25I'll miss you.
00:37:27I'll miss you too.
00:37:29See you soon, sweetheart.
00:37:59I'll miss you too.
00:38:29I'll miss you too.
00:38:59I'll miss you too.
00:39:29What do you want?
00:40:00Who is it?
00:40:08Sam.
00:40:09What's the matter?
00:40:11Well, I didn't recognize you with that mustache.
00:40:13Oh, Sam, you should have let me know. I was leaving in the morning.
00:40:16Yeah? Where were you going?
00:40:18Well, to Washington, of course, Sam, to meet you.
00:40:20I got the money.
00:40:22This is a great way for me to have to find out.
00:40:24Well, I wrote you yesterday.
00:40:26It's over on the way to Washington.
00:40:28You must have passed it.
00:40:29Where's the dough?
00:40:30In the bank, Sam, all safe.
00:40:32How much of it?
00:40:33Nearly all.
00:40:35I had to get a few things naturally.
00:40:37Tickets and...
00:40:38Sure.
00:40:39Tickets.
00:40:43You got the letter, didn't you?
00:40:45Explaining what took so long.
00:40:47Tom complicating things and...
00:40:49That's all I got.
00:40:51From the basket of fruit.
00:40:53Tom kept messing around trying to prove it wasn't an accident.
00:40:56He thought you were murdered.
00:40:58It's nice to know the kid still cares what happens to his own man.
00:41:01Nice to know somebody does.
00:41:04I guess I've given the kid a pretty rotten deal.
00:41:07He's a good boy.
00:41:09Who were you expecting when I came in?
00:41:12Who did you think it was?
00:41:14My girlfriend.
00:41:16I had to have some company when you were away.
00:41:19Her husband's working up in Alaska.
00:41:21I saw you come home with a guy.
00:41:24Oh, with Ray.
00:41:26Oh, that's Karen's boyfriend.
00:41:27You remember Karen.
00:41:29We were playing cards together.
00:41:31When did you get back?
00:41:33This afternoon.
00:41:39Sam, what's that for?
00:41:41Just to make sure I get my share of the dough.
00:41:45Well, it's a little unnecessary.
00:41:47Until I get my 25,000,
00:41:49you're not going to have one minute alone.
00:41:52I'm tired of being alone.
00:41:55Listen, Sam, why split the money?
00:41:58We can still go to Mexico, can't we?
00:42:01It'd be wonderful there.
00:42:03Novelist.
00:42:04I read about a little character place called Tasco.
00:42:07With what we've got, we could live in luxury there.
00:42:11No worries, no bothers.
00:42:14It'd be heavenly, Sam.
00:42:17There isn't going to be any Mexico.
00:42:19All I want is my cut of the money,
00:42:21and I'm getting away from here and you.
00:42:47Turn off the lights.
00:42:53I'll be awake.
00:42:55Good night, Edna.
00:42:57Have a good sleep.
00:42:59Sam?
00:43:01Yeah?
00:43:02Can I do whatever I want with my share of the money?
00:43:06Sure.
00:43:07Only you're having about half as much as expected
00:43:10is going to be quite a blow to Karen's boyfriend.
00:43:14He may not like that.
00:43:17But, my dear boy...
00:43:19I wouldn't want to ruin that pretty scarf.
00:43:21I have feathered myself down for the night
00:43:23in a new robe and pajamas purchased today
00:43:25particularly for a quiet evening at home.
00:43:27Therefore, I have no intention of forsaking my ivory tower
00:43:31for love or money.
00:43:33That is, you haven't enough money.
00:43:35Look, do I have to go to work on you again?
00:43:37Tom, it is very unfair of you to constantly threaten
00:43:39to put this on a physical basis.
00:43:41Let's keep it on a mental level.
00:43:43I've got some surprises for you.
00:43:45Very well.
00:43:46What brings you charging into my sanctuary
00:43:48like a young bull at this heathen hour?
00:43:51A little while ago, somebody shot Ray Belden.
00:43:54Three times. He ought to be dead.
00:43:56He certainly should be.
00:43:57Does credit for the achievement go to you?
00:43:59I wouldn't come tell you.
00:44:01Where sins have been confessed to me.
00:44:03Was it Edna that beat you to him?
00:44:05A man, a friend of Edna's.
00:44:07Any one of our acquaintances?
00:44:09I couldn't recognize him from where I was hiding.
00:44:11Mm-hmm.
00:44:12A mysterious man, a friend of Edna's,
00:44:15comes out of the night and kills her sweetheart.
00:44:18Mm-hmm.
00:44:19I find that intriguing.
00:44:21Only I'm beginning to think that Ray wasn't her sweetheart,
00:44:24in spite of what you said.
00:44:25You know, you could be wrong.
00:44:26Anyway, it looks like he wasn't number one boy with her.
00:44:29If you came crashing in here with a few facts,
00:44:31give them to me.
00:44:32Don't stand there theorizing.
00:44:34I was on my way to Ray Belden's to pay him a visit
00:44:36and give him the works.
00:44:38Are you sure you didn't?
00:44:39Just as I started to his door, I heard the shots.
00:44:41I dug back to the shadows.
00:44:42I saw a man come out.
00:44:44And you couldn't get enough of a look to identify him?
00:44:46But I followed him.
00:44:47He hurried right to Edna's place.
00:44:48He went in, didn't come out.
00:44:49Looks like he's head man.
00:44:51Well, at least you're beginning to be
00:44:53forgiven for disturbing me.
00:44:55Must have something to do with my father's death.
00:44:57I didn't suppose you were otherwise concerned
00:45:00about Ray becoming extinct.
00:45:02What happened tonight makes me think that Ray
00:45:04must not have been killed.
00:45:06What happened tonight makes me think that Ray
00:45:08must not have been her accomplice.
00:45:09Really?
00:45:10Who do you think was?
00:45:12The man I saw tonight.
00:45:13Look, he and Edna murdered Dad.
00:45:15Ray knew too much about it, so the man
00:45:16had to put Ray out of the way.
00:45:18You realize, of course, that you are the most
00:45:21appropriate suspect for the killing of Belden?
00:45:24That's the reason I came to you instead
00:45:25of going to the police.
00:45:26You made quite a fuss, claiming that your father was murdered.
00:45:29Now the widow's most likely collaborator is killed.
00:45:32It would most certainly seem you did it for revenge.
00:45:35I'm in a spot.
00:45:36Very definitely.
00:45:38It would be extremely foolhardy at the moment
00:45:41for you to go any further.
00:45:42You've come to the right place.
00:45:44I hate to lay low now that we're hot on the trail.
00:45:46Stay out of sight until you get a message from me.
00:45:49This must be handled with the adroitness
00:45:51of which I am capable.
00:46:05I'm sorry.
00:46:06I'm sorry.
00:46:07I'm sorry.
00:46:08I'm sorry.
00:46:09I'm sorry.
00:46:10I'm sorry.
00:46:11I'm sorry.
00:46:12I'm sorry.
00:46:13I'm sorry.
00:46:14I'm sorry.
00:46:15I'm sorry.
00:46:16I'm sorry.
00:46:17I'm sorry.
00:46:18I'm sorry.
00:46:19I'm sorry.
00:46:20I'm sorry.
00:46:21I'm sorry.
00:46:22I'm sorry.
00:46:23I'm sorry.
00:46:24I'm sorry.
00:46:25I'm sorry.
00:46:26I'm sorry.
00:46:27I'm sorry.
00:46:28I'm sorry.
00:46:29I'm sorry.
00:46:30I'm sorry.
00:46:31I'm sorry.
00:46:32I'm sorry.
00:46:33I'm sorry.
00:46:34I'm sorry.
00:46:35I'm sorry.
00:46:36I'm sorry.
00:46:37I'm sorry.
00:46:38I'm sorry.
00:46:39I'm sorry.
00:46:40I'm sorry.
00:46:41I'm sorry.
00:46:42I'm sorry.
00:46:43I'm sorry.
00:46:44I'm sorry.
00:46:45I'm sorry.
00:46:46I'm sorry.
00:46:47I'm sorry.
00:46:48I'm sorry.
00:46:49I'm sorry.
00:46:50I'm sorry.
00:46:51I'm sorry.
00:46:52I'm sorry.
00:46:53I'm sorry.
00:46:54I'm sorry.
00:46:55I'm sorry.
00:46:56I'm sorry.
00:46:57I'm sorry.
00:46:58I'm sorry.
00:46:59I'm sorry.
00:47:00I'm sorry.
00:47:01I'm sorry.
00:47:02I'm sorry.
00:47:04Every time you came near me I hated it.
00:47:08Whenever you touched me it made me ill.
00:47:09Every thing you did, revolted me.
00:47:12I hated the way you let me push you around.
00:47:16The stupid way you sacrificed for me.
00:47:19Everythings that would've been beautiful on anyone else, I loved in you.
00:47:25But now I'm going to fix it, so I never have to see or think about you again.
00:47:29You're being foolish, they'll hang you for it.
00:47:32Because I shot some stranger who broke into my home?
00:47:36You can't get away with it, Edna.
00:47:38Tom, he'll recognize me.
00:47:40Not what I'm gonna leave of you he won't.
00:47:49Guns have to be loaded.
00:48:00It's a shame.
00:48:02And after that pretty speech...
00:48:10You're all wrong, Edna. I wasn't gonna kill you.
00:48:13The money isn't why I came back.
00:48:15All I ever wanted was you, Edna.
00:48:17You were everything to me.
00:48:19Money didn't mean a thing.
00:48:21Except a way to keep you near me.
00:48:25There was a time when I thought I'd die if you ever left me.
00:48:29But...
00:48:31Now I think I can get along all right without you.
00:48:35You're through with me and...
00:48:37I don't want you anymore.
00:48:40Very nice timing.
00:48:42So all I want now is what's coming to me.
00:48:44My share of the insurance.
00:48:47And you're going to the bank and get it.
00:48:50In cash.
00:48:54I'm taking my full hand. 25,000.
00:48:57I see no reason why I should pay for any tickets to Honolulu.
00:49:04I guess that polishes off everything between us.
00:49:08Who is it?
00:49:09Sam's here.
00:49:10I'll be right there.
00:49:12Do I need to remind you that neither of us is in any spot to turn the other into the police?
00:49:16I just want to forget you, Sam.
00:49:18Well...
00:49:20Have a happy new year. Anyplace.
00:49:23Goodbye, Sam.
00:49:25So long, Edna.
00:49:31Love may be a little overrated.
00:49:54Hello?
00:50:08Is this Crestview 53021?
00:50:10Yes, who's calling?
00:50:13Is Ray there?
00:50:17Yeah, he's here. Who wants him?
00:50:25For a woman, she didn't talk very much.
00:50:27I hope there's enough for the boys to get a tracer on that call.
00:50:30Got something, Lieutenant.
00:50:31Check made out to Ray Belden for 200 bucks.
00:50:34Signed by a woman. Edna Grover.
00:50:38Here he is, Lieutenant. Here's the landlord.
00:50:41Are you the one that found him?
00:50:43No, I was over here this morning.
00:50:45The neighbors have been complaining about how loud he played the radio late at night.
00:50:48That gives us a lot of suspects.
00:50:50No, I warned him several times.
00:50:52But last night was the last straw.
00:50:54About 12 o'clock, they say, the radio was blasting the walls down.
00:50:58That must be about the time he got in.
00:51:00I came over this morning to evict Mr. Belden.
00:51:03To tell him he had to move out.
00:51:05And I found him.
00:51:06You rented the place to anybody yet?
00:51:08Why, no.
00:51:09You got yourself a new tenant.
00:51:11This is just what I've been looking for.
00:51:13Lieutenant, could I talk to this gentleman for a few minutes?
00:51:16Sure, go ahead.
00:51:17Hello?
00:51:19Yeah?
00:51:21Mm-hmm.
00:51:24I got a trace on that call, Lieutenant.
00:51:26The phone is listed under the name of Mrs. Edna Grover.
00:51:31Well, I'll let you boys finish up here.
00:51:34I'm going to have a talk with a blonde.
00:51:36Well, hello.
00:51:38Hello, Mrs. Grover.
00:51:40It's nice to see you.
00:51:45You're quite a girl.
00:51:47I wonder if it was worth it to the guys who really knew you.
00:51:50What?
00:51:52Something seems to happen to you, Amanda.
00:51:55What do you mean?
00:51:56I mean, you're a woman.
00:51:58You're a woman.
00:51:59You're a woman.
00:52:00You're a woman.
00:52:01You're a woman.
00:52:02You're a woman.
00:52:03You're a woman.
00:52:04You're a woman.
00:52:05What happened to your men?
00:52:07Please, what are you talking about?
00:52:09First it was your husband, Sam.
00:52:11Now, Belden.
00:52:13Ray?
00:52:14This was no accident.
00:52:16Three shots pumped into him.
00:52:18What are you saying?
00:52:19What's happened to Ray?
00:52:21He's dead.
00:52:23There's nothing definite that says you did it,
00:52:25but things tie you in.
00:52:29So I'll just have to take you downtown with me.
00:52:33He's dead.
00:52:36He's dead.
00:52:42I loved him.
00:52:46I loved him.
00:52:49I loved him.
00:52:52I loved him so.
00:53:09Doesn't live there anymore, huh?
00:53:11Since his father died.
00:53:13I see.
00:53:15Did he leave a forwarding address?
00:53:17He's an old friend of Tom's.
00:53:19I'm very anxious to get in touch with him.
00:53:22It's very important.
00:53:25No.
00:53:27No, it's not possible for him to call me.
00:53:30Well, thanks anyway.
00:53:43Who do you got in there?
00:53:45Hey, wait a minute.
00:53:46There's nobody in here but me.
00:53:49Oh, house detective.
00:53:51You look like a better class of hotel.
00:53:53I sincerely hope so.
00:53:55What is this?
00:53:56What do you want?
00:53:57Turn around, please.
00:54:02Stroll over toward the wall.
00:54:06Stop.
00:54:08Lean forward with your arms wide and your hands against the wall.
00:54:14Spread your feet part apart.
00:54:16Looking for anything in particular?
00:54:19Cigarettes.
00:54:23You wouldn't be a policeman.
00:54:26No gun.
00:54:30And only a few hundred dollars, I'm deeply disappointed.
00:54:33My heart's breaking.
00:54:35You may now abandon that ridiculous posture.
00:54:39Thanks.
00:54:48Move over and stand looking out that window.
00:54:50It might offer a splendid view nine stories down.
00:54:54Maybe I don't like any of this.
00:54:56Maybe I'll make you use that gun.
00:54:58That is precisely why I have it handy.
00:55:00It would give you a lot of explaining to do to the police.
00:55:03I'm not a policeman.
00:55:05I'm a lawyer.
00:55:06It would give you a lot of explaining to do to the police.
00:55:09I think the police would listen very attentively.
00:55:11And I strongly urge you to do the same.
00:55:15Right now, or very soon,
00:55:17the discovery of the body of a man murdered last night
00:55:20would interest the police in any possible prospects.
00:55:25What has that got to do with me?
00:55:30I think the police would be delighted to learn
00:55:32that last night you were seen going into the house of one Ray Belden.
00:55:37Three shots later, you were the one who came out.
00:55:44I followed you here knowing pretty well whom I'd find.
00:55:48Because I asked myself,
00:55:50who would kill Ray Belden,
00:55:52then spend the rest of the night in Edna Grover's apartment?
00:55:55And the answer came to me immediately, I thought.
00:55:58Why, of course, Sam Grover would do the deed.
00:56:02And think no one would ever suspect him.
00:56:05Because he's supposed to be dead.
00:56:08Did you kill your wife, too?
00:56:11I never heard of any of the people you mentioned.
00:56:13So I guess we've got nothing in common to talk about.
00:56:16Anyway, you can't prove that I'm Sam Grover.
00:56:19Have you forgotten that your fingerprints are on record?
00:56:22Yes, they would make you Sam Grover, Mr. G.
00:56:26They wouldn't make me the murderer of any Ray Belden.
00:56:29Perhaps you have that covered.
00:56:31But there certainly would be considerable interest in you
00:56:34as a man who swindled an insurance company.
00:56:43Hey, wait a minute.
00:56:47I've tried to break it to you gently.
00:56:50But I hope I've made you realize the situation.
00:56:53If I turn you over to the police,
00:56:55you face charges of both fraud and murder.
00:56:58Well, what do you want?
00:57:00Not all. Not everything you have.
00:57:03I wouldn't want to leave you with nothing to lose.
00:57:05You might be moved to do something desperate.
00:57:07How much?
00:57:09Say, $5,000.
00:57:12What am I buying with that?
00:57:14Your absolute freedom, Mr. Grover.
00:57:16How do I know you won't still turn me in after I pay off?
00:57:19How does anyone ever know in cases like this?
00:57:22However, you are blessed.
00:57:24Taking less than the usual chance.
00:57:27What break am I getting?
00:57:28Don't you see?
00:57:29It'd be very damaging to my excellent reputation
00:57:32as a detective to have to report
00:57:34that I had my hands on a man wanted for fraud and murder
00:57:38and let him slip away.
00:57:40You shall have your liberty, Mr. Grover.
00:57:43And at a very moderate price, I maintain.
00:57:46I haven't got the money here.
00:57:48I'm fairly certain of that.
00:57:50I followed you to the bank this morning,
00:57:52but you got in before I could park my car.
00:57:55I presume you put the money in the safety deposit box.
00:57:58Naturally, I didn't want all that money with me over the weekend.
00:58:01And the place doesn't open till Monday morning.
00:58:03I shall be patient.
00:58:05In the meantime, I have the keys to the box as my security.
00:58:09Yeah.
00:58:11Say, am I buying any information with my five grand?
00:58:14And who claims they saw me coming out of Ray Belden's, huh?
00:58:18Prepare for a shock.
00:58:20Your son.
00:58:22Huh?
00:58:23You'll be relieved to learn that he didn't recognize you.
00:58:27Does he...
00:58:29Does he know I'm still alive?
00:58:32I... I thought it was kinder to leave him in ignorance.
00:58:36Perhaps it's better if he thinks his old man is dead.
00:58:39I feel a certain responsibility to the lad.
00:58:42I rather like him.
00:58:44I'll think of something to tell him,
00:58:46and I shall drop back to see how you are.
00:58:48Naturally, you could run out on me and leave town,
00:58:51but that way, you'd be letting me collect all the money.
00:58:54I'll be here.
00:58:56Remember, you can't open that box without my signature.
00:58:59For that matter, I don't even know what name you used.
00:59:03We definitely need each other.
00:59:05United, we stand.
00:59:07Divided, we fall.
00:59:11Why don't you want to tell us, Mrs. Grover,
00:59:14what was there between you and Ray Belden?
00:59:20Why did you phone him this morning?
00:59:22To say goodbye. I was going away.
00:59:24We know. You had a ticket to Honolulu.
00:59:26You were all set for a fast getaway after you killed him.
00:59:29I didn't kill him.
00:59:31He had a ticket to Honolulu, too.
00:59:33For a boat a week later.
00:59:34You didn't want him to follow you, so you shot him.
00:59:36He was making you pay off or something.
00:59:38You wanted to get rid of him.
00:59:40That's only human.
00:59:41The check was for what it said, for dancing lessons.
00:59:44I think you're on the wrong beat.
00:59:46If she shot him, why would she phone his place?
00:59:48To make sure he was dead?
00:59:50What about the guns?
00:59:52Remember, the bullets in Ray Belden's body
00:59:53came from the gun we found in your bedroom.
00:59:55I told you, I didn't know anything about the gun.
00:59:57Well, how do you think it got in your bedroom? Tell us.
01:00:00Somebody put it there last night while I was out.
01:00:03I went to the movies.
01:00:04Somebody planted it to make it look like you did the killing.
01:00:07Tom Grover.
01:00:09Who?
01:00:10Tom Grover, my husband's son.
01:00:13Mr. Hutton knows.
01:00:14Tom didn't think his father's death was an accident.
01:00:17He thought I had something to do with Sam's death.
01:00:20Tom threatened to kill me.
01:00:22Maybe you did murder your husband,
01:00:24and Ray Belden knew about it.
01:00:26That was why you put him out of the way.
01:00:28I didn't kill my husband,
01:00:29and I didn't have any reason to kill Ray.
01:00:32The last time I saw Ray, he was alive.
01:00:36You say you were home last night at the time he was killed.
01:00:38Who can prove that?
01:00:40Was somebody with you?
01:00:42Your last night in town, a girlfriend?
01:00:45Any friend?
01:00:47A relative?
01:00:50No, nobody. I was alone.
01:00:55Hutton speaking.
01:01:01Okay.
01:01:09The fingerprints on the gun.
01:01:11They're hers.
01:01:13That ought to be enough for now.
01:01:15That's plenty.
01:01:20Now, you can come in now.
01:01:28Mrs. Grover, your salvation.
01:01:31This is Mr. Nicholas, the bail bondsman.
01:01:33Mrs. Grover.
01:01:34How do you do?
01:01:35That's a wonderful question.
01:01:36As soon as I read of your predicament, I came right over.
01:01:39I'm sure you'd like to be out of this oppressive atmosphere
01:01:42as quickly as possible.
01:01:44For what?
01:01:45To go to Ray's funeral?
01:01:47After that, what's left for me?
01:01:49Anywhere.
01:01:50That's absurd.
01:01:51You can't give up now just because Ray's gone.
01:01:53You'll get over the shock in a day or so.
01:01:55Mrs. Grover, you and I are armed with certain facts
01:01:58the police aren't aware of.
01:02:00Unless you've told them.
01:02:05Told them what?
01:02:07Who killed Ray Belden.
01:02:09You know?
01:02:10You know I didn't do it?
01:02:12Yes, my dear.
01:02:13Why should you pay for it?
01:02:15Yes, my dear.
01:02:16Why should you pay for someone else's crime?
01:02:19You do as I say,
01:02:20and I think we'll be able to get you released on bail.
01:02:23I presume that you're prepared to pay a reasonable fee.
01:02:28Between the two of you, this is going to cost me plenty.
01:02:32But it'll be worth it.
01:02:37Thanks very much.
01:02:38No, no, I didn't want to talk to him.
01:02:39I just want to know if he still worked there.
01:02:41Thanks very much.
01:02:42Goodbye.
01:02:45Goodbye.
01:02:57Could you get me a messenger, please?
01:02:59Room 911.
01:03:02The blonde widow appeared before Judge Honnold
01:03:04dressed in a symphony of black with matching accessories.
01:03:07As she walked out of the courtroom,
01:03:08she smiled sweetly for the reporter, still proclaiming...
01:03:11Look, honey, I'm in no mood to listen to descriptions of Edna.
01:03:13Just give me a quick briefing.
01:03:15Edna's going to plead guilty to shooting Ray Belden.
01:03:18Guilty? When she didn't do it?
01:03:20The charge is reduced to manslaughter.
01:03:22She's out on bail.
01:03:23After all she's done.
01:03:25Her story is she shot Ray Belden in self-defense.
01:03:28Don't you see, Marilyn?
01:03:29Belden knew that she and the guy I saw murdered Dad.
01:03:32That's why he had to be eliminated.
01:03:34Edna's covering for the real killer
01:03:36because she'll have a better chance with the jury.
01:03:40Are you going to phone Stewart?
01:03:41Sure, he's supposed to let me know how he's doing,
01:03:43trailing by Mr. X.
01:03:44Is there a Tom Grover at this address?
01:03:45That's me.
01:03:47Sign this receipt, please.
01:03:52Thanks.
01:03:53Maybe that's from Stewart.
01:03:57What is it, Tom?
01:03:59$5,000.
01:04:01A note that says,
01:04:02just forget about your father and be happy.
01:04:08Hey, messenger!
01:04:12The way you work.
01:04:13My brain is always active, Edna.
01:04:15Delighted to see you, my dear.
01:04:17I haven't any time for polite conversation.
01:04:19I came here for one thing.
01:04:21I want you to find Sam.
01:04:23Just when we found a way to save you from conviction
01:04:26for a crime you didn't commit,
01:04:27don't, for heaven's sakes,
01:04:28go out and do something to hang yourself.
01:04:30He killed a man I loved.
01:04:32Nothing you do now can bring Ray back.
01:04:35Pray let's be practical.
01:04:36Sam being guilty of fraud and murder
01:04:39is undoubtedly a desperate and dangerous man to corner.
01:04:42Not my cup of tea.
01:04:44All you have to do is find out where he is.
01:04:46I'll take it from there.
01:04:48It's nearly $10,000, Stewart.
01:04:51I'm not even tempted.
01:04:53The money you gave me has made life so luxurious
01:04:56I have every intention of keeping myself alive to enjoy it.
01:05:00I have a feeling you don't want me to find Sam.
01:05:03I definitely do not, for your own sake.
01:05:06Forget Sam.
01:05:08Try to forget Ray.
01:05:09You have a chance for freedom and a fine future.
01:05:12They say everybody has to pay for their sins.
01:05:15Funny, I always thought you were the man who collected.
01:05:17You've paid your debt, dear girl.
01:05:20Now life owes you some happiness.
01:05:22Let me out before you pass the plight.
01:05:40Room 911, please.
01:05:45Hello, Mr. G?
01:05:47This is your friend.
01:05:49Yes.
01:05:50On that business proposition we were discussing,
01:05:52I have another bidder who's willing to top your offer.
01:05:56I don't believe we'd better talk on the phone.
01:05:58I'll drop over and see you later.
01:06:00Wants to be sure you're in.
01:06:02I'll be here.
01:06:10Follow that car pulling out.
01:06:19The boy's story makes sense to me.
01:06:22He'll pick up the killer of Belden and Grover.
01:06:25Not bad.
01:06:27The boy's story makes sense to me.
01:06:30He'll pick up the killer of Belden and Grover.
01:06:33Not bad.
01:06:57Here's $20.
01:06:58Wait for me.
01:06:59I won't be long.
01:07:04You don't think you're going to park here, do you?
01:07:06My fare will be right out.
01:07:07There ain't an open spot in the block.
01:07:09You may need that for a fine.
01:07:11What, do you think you're on the street?
01:07:22Don't look so grim, Mr. G.
01:07:24You're in a very enviable position.
01:07:26Yeah, I'm in a great spot.
01:07:27Lesson's taught to them.
01:07:29For bargaining.
01:07:31Edna's finances are radically depleted
01:07:33whereas you have $25,000.
01:07:35I had five grand hidden in here that you didn't find.
01:07:38It went to my son.
01:07:39Still, I...
01:07:42It's amazing you could be such a skunk and smell for life.
01:07:46Your cologne leads the trail up the elevator and down home.
01:07:49I've got your husband for you.
01:07:51You name the figure.
01:07:53You killed Ray.
01:07:55So now I'm going to give you just what he got.
01:07:59He's no good to me.
01:08:16Dad.
01:08:19Hello, Tom.
01:08:20Hello, Tom.
01:08:23Dad, I didn't know.
01:08:25I brought the police.
01:08:26It's better this way.
01:08:28I'd rather pay the law than him.
01:08:31Blackmail may be the lightest rap he'll take.
01:08:34Me, I'll get the full treatment.
01:08:40Are you still around?
01:08:42Didn't your bear come out yet?
01:08:45Yeah, she came out.
