00:00 [Gunshots]
00:24 Ralphie! Hi, Faith. Hi. We're going out tonight, ain't we, Ralphie?
00:30 Sure, kid. You get the loot and we'll swing. You know it.
00:34 Well, look at that.
00:37 Now that's class.
00:48 Come on.
00:50 It's real expensive, all hand-built, but it really costs...
01:06 The girl or the car?
01:08 The need.
01:10 [Suspenseful music]
01:14 [Suspenseful music]
01:18 [Suspenseful music]
01:23 [Suspenseful music]
01:27 [Suspenseful music]
01:37 [Suspenseful music]
01:41 What the young man is clutching is the rotor of her beautiful, expensive sports car,
02:02 without which it will never start.
02:05 A first gambit by Ralphie Teal, who feels that the world is his oyster,
02:10 whose tastes are becoming very expensive.
02:13 And who knows that the only way he can satisfy those tastes is for him to choose a victim.
02:20 The title of tonight's story.
02:23 Our leading players are Mr. Larry Blyden,
02:28 Miss Susan Oliver,
02:31 Mr. Vaughn Taylor,
02:33 and Miss Tracy Roberts.
02:36 Well, as sure as my name is Boris Karloff,
02:41 you'll find it puzzling to choose the victim of tonight's macabre events.
02:46 You may find yourself grossly misled, possibly surprised,
02:51 but we do hope that you enjoy this thriller.

03:21 [Battery whines]
03:33 It's gonna ruin your battery if you keep at it like that.
03:39 Probably flooded already.
03:41 Flooded?
03:42 Pull the hood gimmick. Take a look.
03:46 [Car door opens]
03:48 [Groans]
03:49 Car. Flooded.
03:52 Just have to drain. That's all. Then you start.
03:54 Think about 15 minutes.
03:56 15 minutes?
03:58 Yeah, you can't fight machines. You gotta swing with 'em.
04:01 Uh, might as well get a cup of coffee meanwhile.
04:04 I suppose.
04:06 Nice little place right up there.
04:08 As long as you're gonna have a cup of coffee, I'll join you. Then we'll come back and get you started.
04:11 Okay?
04:13 [Car door closes]
04:15 Oh, I like it at the end of summer.
04:19 It's, uh, not so many people on the beach, and you feel like it's all yours.
04:22 And it's still warm enough to enjoy it.
04:24 Yes, it's nice to be able to sit out your troubles watching the waves.
04:28 [Scoffs]
04:30 [Suspenseful music]
04:35 [Scoffs]
04:37 Come here often, Edith?
04:47 That's right, isn't it, Edith?
04:49 Yes, I don't seem to have much to do these days, so I just jump in the car and drive or come here to the beach.
04:57 Do you suppose those carbs are all right?
05:01 Yeah, sure.
05:03 Thank you for stopping to help.
05:05 I'm glad I did.
05:07 It's where I get to know you.
05:09 We can talk about the beach like this.
05:12 Ralph, huh?
05:14 Yeah, Ralphie Teal.
05:16 I'm around here most of the time.
05:19 You, buddy?
05:32 I'll just check it for you.
05:34 Okay. Give her a try.
05:43 Thank you.
05:48 [Engine starts]
05:50 [Suspenseful music]
05:56 [Suspenseful music]
06:00 Hi there.
06:09 Hello.
06:11 Told you I'd see you around on this beach sometime.
06:16 Yes, you did.
06:23 Sand. Had a little sand there.
06:26 It's not going to be much more sun today. Won't get any tan now.
06:31 I've had enough for today.
06:33 Want to see where I live?
06:36 Just a few minutes from here.
06:38 It's a little shack on the beach, but it suits me fine.
06:43 All right.
06:46 Like I say, it's just a little shack on the beach.
06:51 It's right over there.
06:53 Oh, I get by.
06:56 I do a little something when I have to, but I figure why make other people rich?
07:01 Just the beach, the sun, and me.
07:04 That's the way I like it.
07:06 I wish it could be that way for me, too.
07:10 Live with your folks? At home?
07:14 My uncle, my father's brother, my parents died years ago.
07:20 Just my uncle and me in that big house.
07:23 Never got married.
07:25 Don't get along with them, huh?
07:41 Well, I don't get along too well with people either.
07:44 I guess that makes us kind of a pair, huh?
07:47 What business is your uncle in?
07:50 All kinds.
07:52 Investments, some of this and some of that.
07:55 They were all in it together, my parents and Uncle Phil.
07:58 Now he runs the whole thing.
08:00 So he's trying to lead my life for me, too.
08:03 Criticize me, be proper, be this, be that.
08:07 When it comes to himself...
08:09 I'm sorry.
08:11 I don't mean to just go on about this.
08:14 It's all right. Everybody's got troubles.
08:18 You seem to understand so much.
08:21 Hey.
08:28 What are you carrying valuable stuff like this around for?
08:34 It ought to be in a safe.
08:36 Oh, Uncle Phil gives it to me. His conscience, I guess.
08:42 Well, uh...
08:44 Look, uh...
08:46 Look.
08:48 My car is being fixed over near where you told me you lived.
08:52 How about giving me a lift?
08:54 Of course.
08:56 Just let me do something with my hair first.
08:59 [car engine starts]
09:02 Boy, it sure handles like a dream.
09:17 So, uh...
09:19 See where you live, huh?
09:21 Would you like me to drive you to your car?
09:24 Uh, no. I got a few things to do first.
09:29 I'll walk.
09:30 Well, if you want to.
09:31 Okay. I'll, uh...
09:34 I'll see you around the beach.
09:56 You at the beach again?
09:58 Yes.
09:59 Good way to waste a day.
10:01 I happen to like the beach.
10:03 I'm not going to meet anybody there you can marry.
10:05 I don't go there for that purpose.
10:08 No. You probably go there to meet the Muscle Boys.
10:11 The big chest, no brain characters that haven't got a dime to their names.
10:14 That's right. That's who I go there to see.
10:16 You think you're joking.
10:17 But I just might pay a visit to that beach to see what the attraction is.
10:21 There's no admission charge. You're perfectly free to go.
10:23 I don't know why I can't get through to you.
10:25 You think you're above marriage or something?
10:27 I've introduced you to at least four good prospects.
10:30 Sound boys, but no...
10:31 Oh, leave me alone, Uncle Phil. Just leave me alone, please.
10:35 [music]
11:03 Who is it?
11:04 Ralphie, it's Fay.
11:06 Hi, honey.
11:13 Hi, kid.
11:14 Aren't you going to ask me to come in?
11:16 Well, uh, Fay's like way late.
11:18 But, Ralphie, I haven't seen you in a couple of days.
11:22 Well, you know me, kid. No sense of time at all.
11:24 Oh, Ralphie.
11:26 Hey, you been playing around with somebody else?
11:28 Come on, knock it off.
11:31 Listen, Ralphie, you know last week when you said you wanted some money?
11:35 You were short?
11:36 Well, I got an advance.
11:40 Take it.
11:42 Go on.
11:44 Hey, thanks, kid.
11:46 Now, look, why don't you go on home? I'll, uh...
11:49 I'll call you tomorrow.
11:51 Okay, Ralphie.

14:09 [music]
14:14 Don't scream.
14:16 Don't scream.
14:18 [music]
14:26 You came here to rob me.
14:29 You got to know me so you could do this.
14:32 That's right.
14:33 I saw your money and your bracelet and your lighter and I worked it so I could find out where you lived and get in here.
14:39 Ralph.
14:40 All right, all right, now don't give me that pity bit. I don't need that.
14:44 I just figured you wouldn't miss what I took so long as I didn't grab that silver spoon you were born with.
14:50 That's it.
14:52 We're just going to play Robin Hood. Take from you and give to me.
14:56 Oh, Ralph.
14:58 And I thought...
15:01 Okay, now look. I didn't take anything and you didn't scream.
15:05 I go away, we call it quits.
15:08 I won't try to see you again.
15:16 I won't try anything.
15:20 I promise.
15:22 Ralph.
15:27 [music]
15:47 I understand.
15:49 Honestly, I do.
15:51 How you feel about my having things you just don't.
15:58 Don't look at me. You're too beautiful.
16:04 You look at me that way, you make me feel like a rat the way you trusted me.
16:08 Edith, you up?
16:17 Yes, yes.
16:20 What was that?
16:23 The closet door. The wind blew it. I closed it.
16:29 Oh. The house is full of noises tonight. Creaks and groans.
16:34 Okay.
16:36 [music]
17:04 I'm never going to find anything around here. Where is that wallet?
17:08 Oh, here it is.
17:11 Good morning.
17:16 Morning. Oh, Tom Clegg just called.
17:18 His son's in town. I told him you'd be delighted to have dinner with him.
17:22 You would tell him that when you know I've never been able to stand him and his stupid jokes.
17:28 He's the son of an old friend.
17:31 As long as you're living here, you show some courtesy to my friends.
17:34 I'm not going to have dinner with him.
17:36 Do you have another date?
17:38 I have a date with myself. It's a threesome. Me, myself, and I.
17:43 It's a witty remark.
17:45 And we have lots of things to do.
17:49 Lots of things.
17:53 [music]
18:10 Hey. Hi.
18:13 It's just like mine. The one you liked.
18:21 I thought I'd have your initials engraved on it, but that would have taken a day, and I didn't want to wait to give it to you.
18:26 Now, baby, you've got what they call impeccable taste.
18:31 I'll tell you what I'm going to do for you.
18:37 Tonight we're going to eat out, Chinese.
18:41 And after that, we're going to go dancing just you and me.
18:43 I told you, we have to be careful. My uncle, if he knew that I was meeting a man he didn't know...
18:50 Yeah, I forgot.
18:52 It's awful, I know, but he has such a temper.
18:56 Alfie. Alfie, I need you so. You're so good for me.
19:06 [music]
19:13 Oh, baby, I love you.
19:16 You do love me.
19:18 And you smell so expensive.
19:21 I ought to with $30 a ounce.
19:24 Hey, it fits fine.
19:31 Hey, you guessed the size pretty good.
19:34 How'd you do that, huh?
19:36 Well, I told the salesman I wanted the best sweater he had for a man who fits perfectly right in here.
19:44 [chewing]
19:49 [chewing]
19:53 I'm afraid I better be getting back now.
19:56 Tomorrow?
19:58 Mm-hmm.
20:00 Let's get some sun tomorrow, huh?
20:03 I mean, meeting inside places, hiding all the time, I don't like that.
20:07 You know, most dames like to be seen with me.
20:10 Ralphie, I can't. My uncle would like nothing better than to have an excuse for a real big argument with me,
20:16 so I'd get angry and get out of the house.
20:18 But I won't do that, because it's mine and belonged to my parents.
20:23 Ralph?
20:26 [knocking]
20:29 I don't want to be seen in here.
20:31 All right, all right. Who's there?
20:33 Honey, it's me, it's Fay.
20:35 Uh, just a minute.
20:38 I'm hiding the clothes.
20:41 I'll get rid of them.
20:43 Just a minute!
20:47 Hi, stranger.
20:51 What do you want?
20:53 Where have you been, honey? I just came looking for you.
20:57 Well, don't. Don't come looking for me.
20:59 Honey, you're hurting my arm.
21:01 So is that a fact? Well, I'm just trying to impress things on you, that's all.
21:05 Oh, Ralphie, I just wanted to see you.
21:09 Oh, honey, you used to be so nice, baby.
21:13 It bugs me when people come around my place trying to surprise me.
21:17 You used to ask me to come down all the time.
21:21 Well, things are different now. When I want you to come back, I'll give you an invitation.
21:25 Now, don't do that again, huh?
21:28 All right, now beat it.
21:34 Ralphie? Go on, blow.
21:37 Okay, you can come out now.
21:50 Phew. I was afraid she'd like to see me.
21:54 Yeah.
21:57 Honey, don't be mad, please. It's just that...
22:03 Can't we meet under the pier again tomorrow, please?
22:08 Okay, sure. Under the pier.
22:25 Hey, baby. I don't like it like this, hiding all the time from snoopers, from your uncle.
22:32 Ralph, please.
22:34 No, I've been thinking. I've been thinking how we could be together all the time, any place.
22:41 Do what we want to do when we want to do it.
22:45 It takes a lot of loot for a thing like that. You've got to grab a boat to Europe,
22:49 drive along the Riviera, get those Italian silk suits.
22:55 We could do it, ain't we?
22:58 I mean your uncle.
23:01 You're the only one he's got.
23:03 Only one he can leave it to, gotta leave it to.
23:06 Uncle Phil.
23:07 He goes, you get it all.
23:10 If he goes...
23:12 We make it so it looks like an accident.
23:15 Nobody ever knows I ever knew you before. Nobody's ever seen us together.
23:19 We meet after he's dead.
23:21 You're joking.
23:23 We can do it, baby. You and me, we can swing fine.
23:28 Murder.
23:29 Baby, that's just a word. You got any idea how many guys commit a murder walking around loose?
23:33 A lot of guys. Besides, you hate his guts. I know you do.
23:36 This way with him gone, we're out in the clear, all alone, together.
23:40 Not murder, not killing.
23:42 Listen, baby, you want anything, you gotta go after it.
23:48 No, Ralph. Not murder.
23:52 You're not listening to me. You're not listening to me.
23:57 I said we work it so it looks like an accident.
24:02 It's the only way, baby.
24:05 It's the only way for you and me.
24:09 Now, we do this or I'm gonna cut out.
24:13 No, Ralphie.
24:15 All right, then you swing in with me?
24:19 You swing in with me?
24:25 That's a good girl.
24:30 We got a lot of plans to make, so I'll go first so nobody spots us together.
24:36 So nobody spots us together.
24:43 [car engine]
24:48 [music]
25:13 Boy, that's deep. Anything goes down there, it's goodbye Charlie.
25:19 A car could come over that hill going too fast and skid and over he'd go.
25:23 They ought to put guardrails up here.
25:26 Oh, Ralphie, I'm scared.
25:28 Yeah, I know, baby, I know. So am I, but we gotta do this.
25:32 Now, listen, it's gotta look like an accident, right?
25:36 Yeah, I guess.
25:38 Now, you say he goes to visit that woman friend of his every night,
25:41 and to get there he's gotta go over this Altamaro Ridge, right?
25:44 Okay.
25:46 I'll come right over that hill there.
25:49 And I'll be, uh, I'll be standing here.
25:53 I'll motion him over to stop right here.
25:55 Then I'll give him some hard luck story about, uh, about how my car is stuck.
25:59 Now, he'll know that's true because he can see my car right there.
26:02 Parked right there up the hill with you in it.
26:05 Me? Oh, no, Ralphie, I couldn't.
26:08 - I'll never recognize you. - No, no.
26:11 Look, I need you for this, baby. I need you for this.
26:15 Anyway, here comes a car, there's no sense in being seen.
26:18 All right. Now, as soon as I start talking to him,
26:30 you gun the motor in my heap and move up behind him.
26:32 You'll come down so fast he won't even know what's happening.
26:35 Over he goes. Bazoom! Accident.
26:38 Terrible accident. You get all dressed up in black.
26:42 - What if somebody comes along? - They come along and we wait.
26:46 How will you know it's him?
26:49 Well, you say he's in every night by 1.
26:52 That means he's gotta come over here between 11.30 and 12.30.
26:56 When he does, we'll be waiting.
26:58 He's got that big white special.
27:01 I know that car anywhere.
27:04 He's gotta come over so slow he's almost stopped.
27:07 We do it tomorrow night, huh?
27:13 The sooner we do it, the sooner we fly.
27:16 We stay apart during the night.
27:19 That way nobody sees us together.
27:22 You stay at your house in case he comes home early by mistake.
27:26 I'll be on the pier by the phone.
27:29 I'll have them clock sharp. You call.
27:32 I'll let the phone ring two times only, then hang up.
27:35 That way I know it's you.
27:37 I jump in my heap and I pick you up at the corner of 9th and Palm.
27:42 Two rings, just remember.
27:45 Here comes another car.
27:48 See how slow it's gotta go?
27:54 Just like I said.
27:56 Two rings.
27:59 [Horn honks]
28:02 Hey, got a match?
28:11 Huh, nice new sweater, huh?
28:14 What's so funny?
28:17 What are you getting so excited about?
28:19 I'm just looking at your sweater.
28:21 [Phone rings]
28:24 [Phone rings]
28:27 What's the matter?
28:31 Nothing, I just got a call, that's all.
28:34 Ralphie and his crummy dames.
28:38 [Suspenseful music]
28:42 [Horn honks]
29:09 Hi, could you give me a hand? My car's stuck back there.
29:14 You shouldn't be driving an old car like that. Makes it dangerous for everybody.
29:18 Well, I know, but it's all I got, see?
29:21 All right, hop in. I'll get you to a service station.
29:23 What? No, no, I mean, couldn't you give me a push?
29:28 Push? You can roll it on that hill.
29:30 Well, something's frozen. See, it won't roll.
29:33 Look, I offered to give you a lift. What more do you want? I'm on my way home.
29:35 Yeah, I know.
29:36 I'll tell the first cop I see. Maybe he'll give you a lift.
29:38 [Engine revs]
29:41 You just sat there.
29:50 Ralph! Ralph!
29:52 You just sat there. You just sat there.
29:55 Maybe you're a consultant, but you can never do that again.
29:58 Maybe you're the one that ought to go over.
30:01 Maybe you're the one that ought to go rolling down.
30:06 [Dramatic music]
30:09 [Dramatic music]
30:19 [Ralphie pants]
30:28 [Ralphie whimpers]
30:33 Ralphie, I just froze.
30:37 My hands wouldn't move.
30:39 I wanted to do what you said, but I couldn't.
30:43 You just sat there.
30:45 I tried. I tried, but I couldn't.
30:49 Now he's home free.
30:51 Maybe thinking about what happened and getting ideas.
30:54 You mean he knew? He knows?
30:56 Maybe.
30:58 Ralphie, he didn't see me, did he?
31:01 If he saw me...
31:04 What I'm worried about is if he thought there was anything funny.
31:08 Ralphie...
31:19 It's all right. He was up when I got home.
31:22 And he didn't say anything, nothing at all.
31:28 Ralph... What?
31:31 We going to forget it? No.
31:34 I know you don't want to do it, but we started it and we're going to finish it.
31:39 Why let everything we planned get away from us?
31:42 Because, of course, you don't want us to be together.
31:46 Honey...
31:49 That's my baby.
31:58 Now, listen.
32:00 I'm going to do it tonight.
32:03 Same way?
32:06 No, I don't want you freezing up.
32:08 I'm going to do it alone.
32:10 But he's seen you already.
32:12 I know. I just have to take that chance.
32:14 If he doesn't know what's going on, he probably won't be too suspicious.
32:18 What do you want me to do?
32:21 Nothing. Just stay home.
32:24 I'm going to get him when he goes over there.
32:27 He was over the hill this time.
32:30 I'll go up there about 8.30 and wait for him.
32:34 And when he comes, I'm not going to ask any questions.
32:38 Then what are you going to do?
32:41 I don't know.
32:44 I just have to play it by ear.
32:47 Ralphie...
32:52 Careful.
32:55 [♪♪♪]
33:24 Make it a double and I'm halfway home.
33:27 [LAUGHING]
33:30 Go ahead, Larry. Take my car. I'll use Edith's car tonight.
33:35 All right, I will. I'm curious to see how that baby of yours handles over the hill.
33:40 Edith?
33:43 Edith!
33:46 Yes?
33:47 Hi, Edith.
33:49 You aren't going out on a heavy date tonight, are you?
33:52 No, I have some letters to write.
33:55 Larry's car wouldn't start when we came out of the restaurant, so he's taking my white job to get home.
34:00 I'll use yours.
34:02 Are you still living across the Altamaro Ridge, Mr. Curran?
34:07 I wouldn't move if they paid me. I like the wide, open spaces.
34:12 Excuse me, I want to finish this letter. I can mail it tonight.
34:20 I've got to stop them.
34:23 [PHONE RINGING]
34:39 Hello?
34:50 [RATTLING]
34:53 Hello, Roger. Can you hear me?
35:02 Hello? You want a cab?
35:05 Come on in to Lansing Ridge. You've got a date in the Penny Arcade.
35:10 Step in, sir, and see the show.
35:14 [HORN HONKING]
35:17 Ralph, no!
35:30 What are you doing here?
35:32 I had to find you to stop you.
35:34 Get inside, quick.
35:37 If anybody heard you call my name...
35:40 I had to stop you because someone else will be in my uncle's car tonight, not him.
35:46 A friend of his borrowed his car, and he goes up over the Altamaro Ridge, too.
35:51 You might have killed someone else by mistake.
35:54 Oh, boy. I was worried because it was getting late. I got hung up.
35:59 What do we do now?
36:02 Nothing. We wait until tomorrow.
36:06 This time we do it with no slip-ups. Now, look.
36:08 I'll be by the phone, and you give me two rings when he leaves the house and it's okay.
36:13 You've got to be sure this time, Ralph. Either yes or no, I can't take much more of this.
36:18 Be sure. Just do what I tell you.
36:20 Now, when he leaves the house, you let it ring two times, then hang up.
36:26 Two rings.
36:29 Where is that lighter and wallet?
36:34 I never can find anything in this house. Never.
37:00 Must have been a wrong number. I'll see you around.
37:04 Soon, Ralphie.
37:07 Is this a game? You're the same kid that was stuck last week.
37:21 That's right, mister. I am.
37:25 I'm sorry.
37:28 I'm sorry.
37:31 I'm sorry.
37:35 [car door slams]
37:39 [car engine starts]
38:07 [car engine starts]
38:11 [car engine starts]
38:15 [car engine starts]
38:18 [car engine starts]
38:47 Who's there?
38:50 What are you doing here? Are you crazy?
38:52 I just had to find out what happened. I couldn't stay at home anymore.
38:56 Well, baby, we never had it so good.
38:59 Don?
39:00 Do I take no for an answer?
39:02 Zoom! He went over.
39:04 Terrible, terrible accident. Anybody can see that. That's a very tricky hill up there.
39:08 Like I said before, they ought to put up guard rails, right?
39:13 We better not take any chances. You go on home.
39:17 Anything you say.
39:19 Now, you stay there till they notify you about the accident, the terrible accident.
39:22 And you got on a big act, see?
39:24 He was your Uncle Phil. You loved him. You just loved your Uncle Phil.
39:28 He was the only relative you had, got it?
39:30 And you watch yourself pretty close. About a week, at least a week.
39:34 Play real cool. And I'll get in touch with you and we'll make some plans.
39:38 Maybe even get married. Who knows?
39:41 Kiss me.
39:43 Oh, baby, I love the smell of that perfume you wear.
39:52 Now, you... you better get out of here. Come on, come on, come on. Be here. Go on.
39:58 Now, remember, we're gonna cool it for about a week.
40:04 Come on, baby, I'm only human.
40:08 Come on.
40:10 Don't let anybody see you.
40:16 They're gonna miss you this week, baby.
40:19 (door opens)
40:21 (music)
40:25 (laughing)
40:46 (laughing)
40:48 What is it?
41:02 Open it up, police.
41:04 I'm gonna beat it. Cut the kitten.
41:10 You cut the staller and open up this door. Unless you want it broken down.
41:15 Now, wait a minute. Wait a minute.
41:18 You Teal? Ralph Teal?
41:28 That's right.
41:30 What's the big idea?
41:36 Would you get dressed and come with us, please?
41:40 Now, wait a minute. I'm not gonna be just...
41:42 Put him on, please.
41:43 Wait a minute. You got no right...
41:44 We've got some questions we'd like to ask.
41:46 Yeah? Like about what?
41:49 Like about a murder, maybe.
41:51 But I didn't even know him. Why should I kill him?
41:56 Meanwhile, you tell us some things first.
41:58 There's nothing to tell you. Nothing.
42:00 You guys are just trying to frame me because some guy went over a cliff in his car.
42:04 With no skid marks.
42:05 What, are you gonna kill me for that? You're gonna gas me because you can't find skid marks?
42:09 But your tires and shoes had that black Altamora rock all over them.
42:12 Well, so what? There's lots of that rock around. Lots of it. Why pick on me? Why me?
42:16 You work alone or was there somebody else?
42:18 No, I didn't work with anybody. I was in on nothing...
42:20 Well, you might as well tell us the truth, Teal. We know more than you think.
42:23 Look, tell me again. Where were you last night?
42:26 Look, I told you a hundred times. I was at home, but nobody saw me.
42:30 I was reading a soft cover book, a very sexy book. You can find it if you look for it.
42:34 I'll bet.
42:36 Let's cut through this.
42:38 Right.
42:39 Look, Teal, you're a congenital liar, boy. And we both know it.
42:44 So let's establish that right off, eh?
42:46 For instance, we found out you knew very well who Philip Landers was.
42:51 That's right.
42:52 We've been questioning that someone knows a lot more than you've been telling us, son.
42:56 You know this girl?
43:01 No, I don't know her.
43:02 Why should I know her? She look like somebody I'd know?
43:06 You're lying, Teal. You know who she is, all right.
43:08 No, I don't know who she is.
43:10 Miss Landers?
43:12 Would you have him stand up, please?
43:16 Stand up? You heard the lady.
43:19 Would you have him turn around, please?
43:32 Yes.
43:33 That is the man who stopped me on the beach about five days ago.
43:37 As I told you, he tried to bother me.
43:43 Told me what a big shot he was on the pier.
43:47 I ran away from him.
43:49 When I got home, I looked out of the window and saw that he'd followed me.
43:54 He fits the description you gave us, all right.
43:56 Yes, he's the one.
43:58 And he's the same one who stopped my uncle and me on the Altamaro Ridge the night before last.
44:04 What?
44:05 He told us he was out of gasoline, but I was afraid of him.
44:09 Especially when I started admiring our car and saying how great it was.
44:16 I was afraid of him.
44:18 Especially when I started admiring our car and saying how rich we must be.
44:25 It gave me the shivers.
44:28 She's lying. She's trying to make it look like...
44:30 If you don't shut up!
44:31 We planned it together, both of us.
44:34 Ah, she agreed, she agreed. We saw each other all the time.
44:37 We saw a lot of each other. You can check on it.
44:39 Yeah?
44:41 Wait a minute.
44:43 I made sure we were never seen together.
44:47 Or did she make sure?
44:50 Look, look, she fell for me.
44:54 She fell for me and we decided to do it.
44:56 She gave me a lighter with my initials on it. You can check at the store.
45:00 No, she didn't put initials on it. I put the initials on myself.
45:04 Slanners? This your uncle's wallet?
45:07 I mean the one he had on him last night.
45:09 Yes.
45:10 Well, Teal, what kind of a story are you going to make up about this?
45:13 We found it in your jacket this morning.
45:16 I never took it.
45:18 I never took it. It was her.
45:21 She planted it on me.
45:23 Last night, that's it. That's why she came to my place. That's it.
45:26 You set it all up from the very beginning, didn't you?
45:30 So that I'd do it for you.
45:32 Me alone.
45:34 You worked it so we'd never be seen together.
45:37 It was you.
45:38 You working me all the time and I thought that I was working you.
45:43 You just used me. You used me. It was her. Can't you see it was her?
45:48 Can't you see it was her?
45:50 She came to my place. She put this whole thing. Can't you see she's the one that did it?
45:54 Can't you see it? Can't you see it was her? Can't you see it?
45:59 I'm terribly sorry about this, Miss Landers. You can go now.
46:05 We'll call you if we need you again.
46:07 Good night.
46:09 Thank you.

47:12 Hey, Faye. I got a new flash about your boyfriend. Right from my buddy at headquarters.
47:17 Is that so?
47:19 Yeah. He's being held on a murder charge.
47:25 Murder?
47:27 Murder. Who would ever think Ralphie would do a thing like that?
47:31 Not Ralphie. Not Ralphie. He wouldn't.

47:53 You're the one that Ralphie ditched me for.
47:55 No. He had her glove. I found it in Ralphie's shack. I found it there.
48:00 [music]
48:03 You were very clever, Miss Landers.
48:06 There was absolutely nothing to connect you with Ralphie. Except one thing.
48:11 And it bothered me.
48:13 Why, if you never even knew him,
48:16 why did his shirt smell so strongly from your wonderful, expensive perfume?
