00:02:26 [BELL RINGING]
00:02:28 Yes, three days.
00:02:31 [BELL RINGING]
00:02:33 So it's three days she's gone.
00:02:35 Where do you get off Keemnit from the police 72 hours?
00:02:38 I didn't want her to get around, Mr. Johnson, that's all.
00:02:42 People talk.
00:02:44 I don't care how early she is.
00:02:46 I don't want them to talk.
00:02:48 Well, we'll find what took her.
00:02:50 Why not give it till morning, Johnson?
00:02:52 Stella's here.
00:02:54 Okay, till morning.
00:02:56 You ought to know, Mr. Judd.
00:02:58 Good night.
00:02:59 - Night, Johnson. - Good night.
00:03:02 Way down this week, Pop.
00:03:04 Nobody plays it with Stella not around.
00:03:06 Yeah, I guess not.
00:03:08 You don't think she might have done something to herself?
00:03:11 Not Stella.
00:03:13 This guy handled 31 suicide cases, personal.
00:03:17 Everything from poison to jumping in front of a flat bush subway.
00:03:21 Stella's not the type.
00:03:24 - Here's your receipt. - Thanks, Hopkins.
00:03:26 I'll be singing.
00:03:29 Cup of coffee, please.
00:03:31 It's after 10, we're closed up.
00:03:33 And a hamburger, well done, with onions, mustard, relish.
00:03:36 What else you want on that hamburger?
00:03:38 The whole state of California?
00:03:39 What's the population?
00:03:41 I'll fix you something.
00:03:44 - Cigarette? - No, thanks.
00:03:45 Never touch them.
00:03:49 - What's the matter? - I'm not feeling well.
00:03:51 - You're not feeling well? - No.
00:03:53 - You're not feeling well? - No.

00:05:12 - You're not feeling well? - No.
00:05:14 - You're not feeling well? - No.
00:05:16 - You make me sick.
00:05:18 - He's finished his coffee. Go on.
00:05:21 - That was the best hamburger I ever ate.
00:05:24 - Sorry, come back later.
00:05:26 - I mean tomorrow. I'm closing up.
00:05:28 - How much? - It's okay.
00:05:30 - It's not okay.
00:05:32 - He got his coffee. Let him pay for it.
00:05:34 - Five cents.
00:05:36 - Five cents.
00:05:37 - Five cents.
00:05:39 - Five cents.
00:05:40 - Five cents.

00:05:46 (Door closes)
00:05:56 (Door opens)
00:05:57 - Good evening. - Uh-huh.
00:06:22 - Professor Madley, please. - Professor Madley?
00:06:25 - Oh, he won't be here till tomorrow.
00:06:26 - Oh. - Maybe Mr. Ellis could help you.
00:06:29 - Ellis?
00:06:32 - The professor's assistant. He registered this morning.
00:06:35 - Oh, Ellis. Oh, yes. What's his room number?
00:06:38 - It's 216, but he's not in just now.
00:06:45 - Of course, he's getting tuned.
00:06:47 - Tuned?
00:06:49 - To the other world. He always does that before the professor comes in.
00:06:52 - Is that so?
00:06:54 - Oh, sure. Well, I'll wait for Ellis up in his room.
00:06:57 - But that's against the rules. - Don't worry. It's all right.
00:07:00 (Doorbell rings)
00:07:03 (Door opens)
00:07:07 (Door closes)
00:07:09 (Door closes)
00:07:15 (Footsteps)
00:07:16 - Oh.
00:07:26 - Mr. Ellis, I presume? - Yes.
00:07:30 - My name is Stanton.
00:07:34 - Eric Stanton. - Never heard of you.
00:07:37 - Professor Madley's an old friend of mine.
00:07:39 - When was that? - Good old days.
00:07:41 - How old?
00:07:43 - Old enough to be good.
00:07:45 - Oh. Drink? - My favorite brand.
00:07:49 - Ought to be. I got it out of your bureau drawer.
00:07:52 - Huh. Helped us out to everything in here,
00:07:55 as long as you're a friend of the professor's.
00:07:57 - From my cradle days. - Then you'll do the professor a favor.
00:08:01 - Lend Leeson $30. - $30?
00:08:04 - Do him half a favor. $15.
00:08:06 - (Chuckles)
00:08:08 - What's so funny? Tell me. I'd like to laugh, too.
00:08:11 - I came up to put the bite on you.
00:08:14 Now let's hear how you laugh.
00:08:16 - You can't sleep here. - Oh, wait a minute.
00:08:18 Consult the spirit of my friend the professor. What's he say?
00:08:21 - I know what the manager says. One more guest, one more dollar.
00:08:24 I haven't got enough to pay my own bill.
00:08:26 - Then the extra dollar wouldn't matter.
00:08:28 - Don't take your shoes off. I'm enough to aggravate me.
00:08:31 - Don't worry. I'll get you out of it.
00:08:36 - What with? You're broke.
00:08:38 I've got to have $15 by noon tomorrow,
00:08:40 or lose the hall downstairs in my deposit,
00:08:43 besides being kicked out of here and my luggage held.
00:08:45 - What about the professor's spooks?
00:08:47 Don't they generally come through with an advance sale?
00:08:50 - Sure, when there's nobody to stop them.
00:08:52 But there's a certain woman in this town who doesn't believe in spooks.
00:08:55 And what she says goes for the rest of the women.
00:08:57 She's not only the daughter of the former mayor,
00:08:59 who donated a new organ to the church,
00:09:01 but the president of the ladies' auxiliary.
00:09:04 Against such a combination, not even I could sell one ticket.
00:09:08 - Go charm her.
00:09:10 - Miss Mills will have no truck with me, not even on the phone.
00:09:13 - Well, let's sleep on it. - I said no.
00:09:16 - We're in this thing together. Naturally, I'll sleep here.
00:09:19 Stands to reason. - What stands to reason?
00:09:22 - You're in trouble, man. I've got to pull you out of it.
00:09:26 You got any toothpaste? - In the bathroom.
00:09:29 Hope you like my brand.
00:09:33 - I'm sorry.
00:09:35 - Good morning.
00:09:47 - A mistress, please. - Who?
00:09:52 - Miss Clara Mills.
00:09:54 - I'm Clara Mills, and we're not buying anything either.
00:09:57 - Miss Mills, I'm here to speak on behalf of the dead.
00:09:59 - Who? - Walton's respected deceased.
00:10:01 We're on rendezvous tonight at the Walton Hotel at 8 o'clock.
00:10:04 - There's nothing to discuss. I told you that over the phone.
00:10:06 Now, please don't call again, Mr. Ellis.
00:10:08 - Well, I'm not Mr. Ellis, and I'm not a part of the spook act down at the hotel.
00:10:11 I'm Eric Stanton. Now, would you listen to me for a minute?
00:10:14 - Well, out with it. I'm busy.
00:10:16 - So is Professor Madley. Appointments with the dead from coast to coast.
00:10:20 Yet this soul of generosity finds time to drop in on Walton
00:10:22 to deliver a message of hope.
00:10:24 - For money. He's a charlatan, a fraud.
00:10:27 - Not thee, Professor Madley. - Pretending to commune with the dead.
00:10:31 - Now, now, now. Look.
00:10:32 He and Ellis are just a couple of struggling artists
00:10:34 trying to make a living like fortune tellers or a vaudeville teen.
00:10:38 - I won't let the poor, gullible people of Walton be fooled.
00:10:41 If my father were alive, these fakers would never have gotten a license.
00:10:44 - Your father? - Yes. Abraham Mills was a real mayor.
00:10:46 He wouldn't have stood by and let frauds take advantage of honest people.
00:10:49 - Now, wait a minute. What if Mayor Mills would like to make another speech
00:10:52 or tell you something? Suppose he's defending on behalf...
00:10:54 - Suppose you leave right now.
00:10:56 - Suppose I do.
00:10:59 - Don't forget, the curtain goes up tonight at 8 o'clock.
00:11:03 - Birds of a feather. They won't hatch anything here.
00:11:14 Trading on people's sacred feelings.
00:11:18 Everything that's dear held up to ridicule by frauds in a trance,
00:11:24 wrapping on a table.
00:11:26 We won't have any of the cheap, vulgar tricks of spiritualism here.
00:11:30 You think I'm wrong?
00:11:34 - I think he's right.
00:11:36 - But how can he be?
00:11:38 June, don't be taken in by his glib manner.
00:11:41 - He meant it. Just two people trying to make a living.
00:11:44 - Why can't they make an honest living?
00:11:46 - Are we to judge?
00:11:48 - Well, it's too late now. There's nothing we can do about it.
00:11:52 - Yes, there is.
00:11:54 - What? - We can buy two tickets.
00:11:57 If we go, everybody else will. Shall I call the hotel?
00:12:00 - I'll think about it.
00:12:03 We thank thee, O Lord, for our daily bread and for our many blessings.
00:12:08 Amen.
00:12:10 - Amen.
00:12:11 - Donut?
00:12:26 - No, thanks.
00:12:28 - Like to make a few extra dollars? - I'll.
00:12:34 - Push these tickets with your customers.
00:12:36 Give you 20% of all your sales.
00:12:39 - Sure. What are they for?
00:12:40 - That meeting tonight featuring the one and only Professor Madley.
00:12:44 - No. - Why not?
00:12:46 - If the ladies don't want him, I don't want him.
00:12:49 - Don't worry about the women. They wouldn't miss hearing Abraham Mills.
00:12:52 - Mills? - The professor's bringing him back.
00:12:54 - With a message. - I don't believe in it.
00:12:57 - What's the difference? You can still make yourself some money.
00:13:00 - No, I don't want to get mixed up in anything.
00:13:02 - Coffee.
00:13:05 - Coffee, please. - Right away.
00:13:08 - Here he is, Professor. Your old friend, Eric Stanton.
00:13:11 - Old friend? Don't recall.
00:13:14 - Oh, Buffaloes. Connected.
00:13:16 - Sorry, I still can't remember.
00:13:18 - Relax, Professor. We've never met before.
00:13:21 - Last night in my room, you said. And you never met?
00:13:25 - Glad to meet you now, Professor.
00:13:27 - Delighted, Mr. Stanton.
00:13:29 - Well, all the signs point to a prosperous association.
00:13:32 - Dollar signs. - I've sold a batch of tickets already.
00:13:34 - A couple of beers. - I'll have a beer.
00:13:36 - I've sold a batch of tickets already. - A couple of beers, please.
00:13:39 - Okay, coming up.
00:13:41 - I heard from my assistant that you really work wonders.
00:13:43 - Congratulations on your success, my boy.
00:13:45 - We'll have sell-out after sell-out.
00:13:47 - Oh, okay.
00:13:49 - You know, I never believed that you could talk Miss Mills into buying tickets.
00:13:53 - I just had a call from her sister to reserve a couple.
00:13:55 - They're coming over to get a message from their old man.
00:13:58 - Right, Professor? - Ah, yes.
00:14:00 - I had a visitation from him on US Route 101.
00:14:02 - He definitely arrives tonight.
00:14:04 - What do you say, Pop? Now do you believe it?
00:14:06 - He definitely arrives tonight, sir.
00:14:08 - He better arrive tonight. He's your main attraction.
00:14:13 - Dig up the vital facts, Ellis.
00:14:15 - Who is Mills and what does he want to come back for?
00:14:18 - Okay, see you later. - Wait a minute, leave me one of these.
00:14:21 - Oh, Pop, let me hang this up in here
00:14:24 and I'll give you a couple of tickets to the best show in town.
00:14:27 - All right, go ahead.
00:14:29 - There you are. - Eric, my boy, you've got a great calling.
00:14:32 - Spook promotion.
00:14:35 - You could back that up with a fin. - Gladly.
00:14:37 - Hope to see you in my room later.
00:14:39 - I have a fine collection of friendly spirits there.
00:14:42 - Scotch ancestry.
00:14:44 - There you are, Stella.
00:14:58 - Thank you.
00:15:03 - Have you any idea what the deceased Mr. Mills
00:15:06 is going to say at the séance tonight?
00:15:09 - Why?
00:15:11 - They've brought a great deal of them around here.
00:15:14 You want to be careful.
00:15:16 - Thanks.
00:15:19 - Thanks.
00:15:43 # Slowly I open my eyes
00:15:47 # Hazy with my...
00:15:51 # Slowly my lips realize
00:15:59 # They had just been kissed
00:16:03 # Slowly...
00:16:08 - A beer, please.
00:16:10 # ...my arms
00:16:13 # Relaying me so...
00:16:16 - That the only record in that box?
00:16:20 - I like it.
00:16:22 - He knows what you like.
00:16:24 - That's for his wife to worry about.
00:16:27 - What does he do?
00:16:30 - He's from New York.
00:16:32 - Oh, yeah.
00:16:34 - He came out here to stay to get his health back.
00:16:38 - How'd he lose it?
00:16:40 - Working too hard, I guess.
00:16:42 - There used to be a big man back there
00:16:46 on the police force.
00:16:48 - You like to come to the show?
00:16:50 - You asking me?
00:16:54 - Here.
00:17:01 - Never mind.
00:17:05 - What's the matter?
00:17:07 - Leave those alone.
00:17:09 - Okay.
00:17:12 - Here.
00:17:15 - Is that four beers?
00:17:17 - Three beers and a cup of coffee.
00:17:20 #
00:17:22 - You have just heard the spirits of citizens of Walton
00:17:46 who have gone on before us.
00:17:49 They have come tonight through me,
00:17:50 returned to tell you how happy they are
00:17:52 in their eternal reward.
00:17:54 Now, my good friends of Walton,
00:17:56 we have come to our last and most difficult experiment
00:17:59 for which I must have your undivided attention
00:18:01 and your sincere concentration.
00:18:04 I feel a strange vibration coming over me,
00:18:08 the vibration of a spirit who has remained troubled,
00:18:11 who has found no peace or contentment since he departed.
00:18:15 Abraham Mills.
00:18:18 I can feel his troubled spirit trying to get through, beyond.
00:18:23 Yes, Abraham Mills.
00:18:26 I can hear you.
00:18:30 Yes, Abraham Mills.
00:18:33 - Like it? - Yes, very much.
00:18:38 - You're troubled because your daughter, Clara,
00:18:41 has lost practically everything you left her.
00:18:44 The bonds,
00:18:46 the orange groves.
00:18:48 You can't understand how she could have trusted that man.
00:18:52 That man...
00:18:54 - John Martin. John Martin.
00:18:56 - John Martin,
00:18:58 who came here after you passed down
00:19:00 and talked her into selling everything.
00:19:03 Why didn't she ask the police for help
00:19:06 when he ran away with the money?
00:19:08 - Come, Clara. - You'll find peace
00:19:10 only when you know that Clara
00:19:13 will guard the last of the inheritance
00:19:15 she sold to her younger sister,
00:19:17 $25,000 in stocks.
00:19:20 - I'm sorry. I shouldn't have made you come.
00:19:23 Gee, that was awful mysterious,
00:19:37 how he knew everything.
00:19:39 Say, can I ask you a favor?
00:19:42 - Sure. What?
00:19:44 - You're a fortune teller, aren't you? - I am.
00:19:46 - I'd love to have my fortune told.
00:19:48 Do you think he'd do it if you asked him?
00:19:50 - I can tell it better myself. - Where are we going?
00:19:53 - Your horoscope's up there.
00:19:55 - I'd like a drink.
00:19:57 - Okay, you're on. Where do we go?
00:19:59 - I know the place.
00:20:01 (upbeat music)
00:20:03 - I like the way you talk.
00:20:17 - I like the way you dance.
00:20:21 (audience applauding)
00:20:30 - Yes, sir, two burgers.
00:20:31 - Who ordered them? - Do you want them?
00:20:34 - Okay.
00:20:36 - Thanks.
00:20:39 - He said you'd tell my fortune.
00:20:41 - Well, yeah, you don't belong in a one-arm joint.
00:20:45 - No? - Not if you're like you.
00:20:47 You've got style, beautiful style.
00:20:49 You inherited that.
00:20:51 Your father was a leading citizen, rich.
00:20:54 - Hmph. - He trusted people too much.
00:20:58 - And? - Your mother,
00:21:00 her line seems to have run out.
00:21:02 - Don't scare me. She runs a boarding house in San Diego,
00:21:05 and my old man came from a long line of drunks.
00:21:08 - Anyway, there's a man in your life.
00:21:12 You just met him.
00:21:14 Tomorrow he's going to San Francisco,
00:21:16 and you're gonna lie awake at night, unable to forget.
00:21:20 - And what can I do about it?

00:22:36 (dramatic music)
00:22:39 (waves crashing)
00:22:41 - Listen to that.
00:22:44 The sound of far off places.
00:22:47 (waves crashing)
00:22:50 You like the sound of the ocean?
00:22:52 - I like the way you talk.
00:22:57 (waves crashing)
00:23:03 (waves crashing)
00:23:09 - No.
00:23:11 That's okay for kids, but not for me.
00:23:14 Not anymore.
00:23:16 Where are you from?
00:23:18 - Why does that got to do with it?
00:23:21 - Okay, don't tell me.
00:23:23 - I'm from New York.
00:23:25 Now you know.
00:23:27 - Uh, what do you do when you don't tell fortunes?
00:23:30 - I help make 'em for others.
00:23:33 I passed actresses, directors, producers
00:23:36 and the beauty mill I ran, they came out famous.
00:23:39 Their names in all the papers.
00:23:41 - You know people like that?
00:23:43 - I know all people in all places.
00:23:45 Like 21, the Stork Club.
00:23:47 That's where you belong, smothered in mink.
00:23:50 I can see you there.
00:23:52 - And do you see me with a ring on my finger?
00:23:54 Somebody to give me a home?
00:23:56 - Sure, sure.
00:23:58 - Now look.
00:24:00 Last night I made up my mind.
00:24:02 That's the way I want it.
00:24:04 He didn't see it that way, so I walked home.
00:24:07 At night.
00:24:09 Miles before I got a ride.
00:24:12 Was plenty tired when I got in, too.
00:24:14 You saw me.
00:24:16 But when I make up my mind...
00:24:18 - Forget about last night.
00:24:21 - You talk different, sure.
00:24:25 But you drive just like the rest.
00:24:28 Well, you got the wrong girl.
00:24:31 - Yeah?
00:24:33 No.
00:24:35 No!
00:24:37 Tomorrow you're going.
00:24:39 Where does that leave me?
00:24:41 - You'll go with me.
00:24:43 - What on?
00:24:45 You got into town with one dollar in your pocket.
00:24:47 You're a fake!
00:24:49 - Why, you little jip.
00:24:51 Stealing a buck out of the cash register and calling...
00:24:53 Go on, go on back to your one-armed joint
00:24:55 and wait for somebody to come and marry you.
00:24:58 (car door slams)

00:25:16 (keys clatter)
00:25:19 (doorbell rings)
00:25:21 - Calling Eric?
00:25:23 - Yeah, I'm coming.
00:25:25 - Professor's waiting.
00:25:27 Never felt so good getting out of town.
00:25:30 Even with the bills all paid.
00:25:32 - Don't smile. Your face looks better without it.
00:25:35 - See you downstairs.
00:25:37 - Okay.
00:25:39 - Ah, top of the morning for boy Huffing.
00:25:43 - Good morning.
00:25:44 - Get in.
00:25:46 - I'm not going.
00:25:47 - Not going? What's wrong?
00:25:49 - Nothing. You go ahead. I'll meet you.
00:25:51 - But Eric, we need you for the advance publicity.
00:25:53 San Francisco's a tough town on spooks.
00:25:55 - Come on, hit 'em like the earthquake.
00:25:57 I made it clear to you when I took this job,
00:25:58 you can't tie me down.
00:26:00 Tramp's my style.
00:26:01 I always work best when a certain feeling comes over me,
00:26:03 and right now I haven't got it.
00:26:05 - A genius.
00:26:07 - Eric, my boy, you're an artist.
00:26:08 You have my sympathy. I'm the bus ticket on the firm.
00:26:10 - Never mind that.
00:26:12 - Well, you'll always find your favorite brand
00:26:13 in my bureau drawer.

00:27:21 (bell rings)
00:27:31 - My bus leaves in 15 minutes.
00:27:36 - Got a nickel?
00:27:38 (footsteps)
00:27:40 (door opens)
00:27:48 (door closes)
00:27:50 - I just came back to say I'm sorry about last night.
00:27:55 (dramatic music)
00:27:57 - Save it.
00:27:59 (dramatic music)
00:28:02 (door closes)
00:28:04 (dramatic music)
00:28:08 - Nothing else you want to say?
00:28:10 - No.
00:28:12 - Don't give me that act.
00:28:17 - What act?
00:28:19 - You know what I mean.
00:28:21 (door opens)
00:28:23 - Hello?
00:28:26 - So long, for good.
00:28:28 (door opens)
00:28:31 (door closes)
00:28:33 - What bit him?
00:28:35 - His bus, I guess.

00:29:07 (car door opens)
00:29:09 (car door closes)
00:29:11 - This finishes it.
00:29:13 You'll never see me again.
00:29:15 Goodbye.
00:29:17 - Goodbye.
00:29:19 (car drives away)
00:29:22 (car drives away)
00:29:24 - Oh!
00:29:26 - Always leave him laughing.
00:29:28 - You again.
00:29:31 - What do you want?
00:29:32 - I want to talk to you.
00:29:34 - Okay, talk.
00:29:37 - Don't give me that smile.
00:29:44 - Okay, I don't smile.
00:29:47 I thought you had something to say.
00:29:51 - Doesn't that say it?
00:29:53 - I heard that kind of talk before.
00:29:55 Good night.
00:29:59 - I never said it before to anybody, ever.
00:30:02 I'll marry you, Stella, if that's what you want.
00:30:06 - You? You don't kid me.
00:30:08 - I'm not kidding.
00:30:10 - Last night-- - Last night, I didn't know you.
00:30:13 What made you tick?
00:30:15 I know you now.
00:30:17 I know why I couldn't pull out of here this morning.
00:30:19 Or get on that bus.
00:30:21 I can't get away without you, Stella,
00:30:24 and I'm not going away without you.
00:30:26 - What's in it for me?
00:30:28 - You said you wanted that, didn't you?
00:30:30 A ring on your finger.
00:30:32 - That isn't enough. What goes with it?
00:30:34 I want a home. - I'll get it for you.
00:30:36 - What with? One dollar in your pocket?
00:30:39 - Twelve and a half thousand dollars.
00:30:41 - Where would you get twelve and a half thousand dollars?
00:30:45 - What's the difference? As long as I get it.
00:30:49 - How? You gonna murder somebody?
00:30:51 - Don't say it. - You gonna steal it?
00:30:53 - Listen. - Well, I don't know you.
00:30:55 - You know one thing.
00:30:57 I'll get it once I get the cash.
00:30:59 - Maybe you'll get me in trouble.
00:31:03 I don't want to get in trouble.
00:31:05 - You won't. That way I'll get it.
00:31:07 I'm not even telling you how.
00:31:10 You just sit tight and wait for me.
00:31:12 That's the deal.
00:31:14 You'll keep it.
00:31:17 - Maybe I will.

00:32:43 - Very good performance, Miss Mills.
00:32:44 Please, go on.
00:32:46 Beethoven never sounded so good before.
00:32:48 - I wasn't playing Beethoven.
00:32:50 - No?
00:32:51 Oh, I'm sure it was Brahms.
00:32:53 The old boys do sound alike, don't they?
00:32:54 I mean in spots.
00:32:56 - What spots?
00:32:57 - You know, the way they began, the way they end.
00:32:59 Sometimes in the middle,
00:33:00 like the piece you were just playing.
00:33:01 Brahms--
00:33:02 - It wasn't anything, I was just improvising.
00:33:04 - Brahms didn't write that, you weren't even one better.
00:33:07 That was beautiful.
00:33:09 Classical, it was inspiring.
00:33:11 You know, you belong in Carnegie Hall.
00:33:14 Now look, you can't stay angry at me forever,
00:33:17 not two full days.
00:33:19 Wait a minute.
00:33:20 What about living up to the place we're in?
00:33:22 And the music you play here?
00:33:24 So when a guy comes around and says he's sorry,
00:33:27 the least you can do is forgive him.
00:33:29 - All right, I forgive you.
00:33:32 - Friends?
00:33:33 - I hardly knew you.
00:33:35 - Well, don't worry about that.
00:33:36 We'll fix it right away.
00:33:38 You know, it's a good thing word didn't come through
00:33:39 from New York this morning.
00:33:41 Gives me a chance to stay over another day,
00:33:43 square things with you and your sister.
00:33:45 Tell me, what is there to do in a town like this
00:33:48 to make time pass till tomorrow?
00:33:50 - That's up to you, isn't it?
00:33:52 - What do you do?
00:33:53 - Oh, there's plenty to occupy your time here.
00:33:56 The movies, dancing, the beach isn't far.
00:34:00 They'll tell you at the hotel.
00:34:02 - You still think I tried to hurt your sister?
00:34:05 I didn't mean to, really.
00:34:07 I only meant to help the professor.
00:34:09 But that's happened to me before.
00:34:10 I try to help somebody, somebody else gets hurt.
00:34:12 That's the way it's been all my life.
00:34:14 - Of course.
00:34:16 You live by impulse.
00:34:18 And you never bother to think
00:34:19 if you're following the right impulse or the wrong one.
00:34:22 - I see you don't stop at music, you read too.
00:34:24 - Don't you?
00:34:26 - Me, I haven't opened a book since I left school.
00:34:27 They're phony.
00:34:29 - So are some people.
00:34:30 - At least they're alive.
00:34:32 - So are books.
00:34:33 - Yeah, you come to a part you don't like,
00:34:35 you can turn the page, but try it on people.
00:34:37 Or try it on life.
00:34:39 - I'll tell you something about yourself, Miss Mills.
00:34:42 You're scared to live.
00:34:43 That's why you bury yourself in books and music.
00:34:47 - I think you ought to respect my ways as I respect yours.
00:34:50 - Only I live and you don't.
00:34:52 All the things you look down on
00:34:53 are the things that make up life.
00:34:55 - What things?
00:34:56 - Little things like a game of bowling or a swim at night or...
00:34:59 (glass clinking)
00:35:02 Or a dance, a kiss, stuff that bubbles.
00:35:08 But you never had a drink.
00:35:10 - That doesn't mean anything.
00:35:11 - Not by itself it doesn't.
00:35:12 But you add up all the little things,
00:35:14 that's what makes up life.
00:35:15 - Maybe you're the one that's scared, not I.
00:35:19 - How come?
00:35:21 - Well, you don't know what you want,
00:35:22 that's why you're scared.
00:35:23 That's why you keep running after every little thing.
00:35:26 - You know, that's quite a mind you have there, Miss Mills.
00:35:29 - You mean for a girl in a small town?
00:35:32 Must be the books, huh?
00:35:34 - Must be.
00:35:34 You know, if you didn't know me so well,
00:35:37 I might ask you something.
00:35:38 You'd probably say no, though.
00:35:40 - Probably.
00:35:41 - So there's really no use in asking, is there?
00:35:43 - Well, why don't you ask me anyway?
00:35:45 - Will you have dinner with me tonight?
00:35:48 - Well, I don't think I can.
00:35:51 - You see?
00:35:52 You're afraid to step out of your tower.
00:35:55 - No, no, no, that isn't it.
00:35:57 - You're a sister?
00:35:58 - Of course not.
00:35:59 - Then what are you afraid of?
00:36:01 - I'm not afraid, why should I be?
00:36:03 - Yeah, why should you be?
00:36:04 I'll pick you up at seven.
00:36:06 - At seven?
00:36:07 - Don't you ever see anything through to the end?
00:36:25 - When it's worth it.
00:36:26 - Well, now we've had a dinner that you didn't like
00:36:29 and saw a movie you didn't like.
00:36:30 What's next?
00:36:32 - Dancing.
00:36:33 - All right.
00:36:34 Let's not miss any of the little things
00:36:36 that make up your happy life.
00:36:38 - Well, here's to your first scotch.
00:36:43 How do you like it?
00:36:50 - Tastes like soap.
00:36:52 If this is what all your little things add up to,
00:36:57 I don't think it's very much.
00:37:00 - Did you learn how to play Beethoven in one night?
00:37:01 No, then don't expect to learn
00:37:03 how to play at this in one night.
00:37:05 - But I don't think you enjoy it either.
00:37:06 - Because you don't.
00:37:08 - But I want to, that's why I came.
00:37:10 Frankly, why did you ask me?
00:37:13 - No special reason.
00:37:15 You happen to interest me.
00:37:16 - In what way?
00:37:19 - Can't define it.
00:37:20 Maybe it's your charm.
00:37:22 Maybe it's your talent.
00:37:24 Ever think of a career?
00:37:25 - Maybe.
00:37:27 - And?
00:37:28 - No, no, I know my limitations.
00:37:31 No one shouldn't set a limit on what one can do.
00:37:33 - Mr. Stanton, that sounds as if it came out of a book
00:37:38 and not a very good one.
00:37:40 - Make of that mind again.
00:37:42 Shall we turn the page and dance?
00:37:44 - Oh, it's been an awfully long time.
00:37:46 - I'll lead you.
00:37:47 You're doing fine.
00:37:58 - Thank you.
00:38:00 (upbeat music)
00:38:02 (audience applauding)
00:38:10 - Hey, ditch him and I'll meet you afterward.
00:38:16 - I don't cheat on a date.
00:38:17 (audience applauding)
00:38:21 (upbeat music)
00:38:23 - There's still one more little thing.
00:38:40 But don't worry, I'm not going to kiss you goodnight
00:38:42 and make you unhappy.
00:38:44 - Unhappy?
00:38:45 Don't you take too much for granted?
00:38:48 - No, one kiss goes a long way with you.
00:38:51 You need a guy who'll take it the same way.
00:38:53 Will give you a marriage with all the trimmings,
00:38:54 home and kids.
00:38:56 Will walk to church with you every Sunday,
00:38:57 listen to your play.
00:38:59 Save all your good nights for him.
00:39:01 - What makes you think I wanted you to kiss me?
00:39:04 - Didn't you?
00:39:05 (doorbell ringing)
00:39:18 (doorbell ringing)
00:39:21 - Short of help this morning, huh?
00:39:26 - Kinda.
00:39:28 - She always come in this late?
00:39:29 - Sometimes.
00:39:30 Why you want to know?
00:39:32 - I just thought maybe she'd skipped out on you again.
00:39:36 - No, she won't do it.
00:39:38 She promised me she won't.
00:39:39 (doorbell ringing)
00:39:41 Stella!
00:39:42 Morning, Stella.
00:39:43 - Good morning.
00:39:47 - Morning.
00:39:48 - Sure could use some coffee.
00:39:52 - I got something special for you.
00:39:55 - I waited for you last night.
00:40:06 'Til after three.
00:40:07 - That's nice.
00:40:09 - Where were you?
00:40:11 - Around.
00:40:14 - With that guy?
00:40:16 Oh, leave me alone, will ya?
00:40:17 It's too early.
00:40:18 - Here you are.
00:40:19 - Thanks.
00:40:22 - What'd you get the watch?
00:40:23 - Like it?
00:40:24 - Get me some hash.
00:40:28 Good and brown.
00:40:29 I said some hash.
00:40:32 You get this last night?
00:40:37 - Wait till we're married and then ask me.
00:40:42 'Til then, I don't have to tell you a thing.
00:40:44 - We're as good as married.
00:40:47 - Hmm, hmm.
00:40:48 - You're dropping out of circulation.
00:40:51 From now on, when you go out, it'll only be with me.
00:40:55 - You got a steady date.
00:40:57 With Miss Mills.
00:40:58 - I'm only doing that for you.
00:41:00 - Thought it good I'm getting out of it.
00:41:03 - You will in a couple of days.
00:41:05 - Okay, a couple of days, but that don't mean forever.
00:41:08 (doorbell ringing)
00:41:10 Morning, Mr. Judd.
00:41:13 (doorbell ringing)
00:41:16 - Good morning, Stella.
00:41:18 (doorbell ringing)
00:41:26 Hello.
00:41:32 With my compliments.
00:41:34 - Thank you.
00:41:36 - Thank you.
00:41:37 - I'm leaving tomorrow and I wanted to say goodbye.
00:41:40 - Goodbye, Mr. Stanton.
00:41:42 - We were just going to pick up a few things.
00:41:44 Can we take you anywhere?
00:41:46 - Anywhere you say.
00:41:47 Can three of us get in there?
00:41:51 - I think so, you go ahead.
00:41:53 - Thank you.
00:41:54 Nice town.
00:42:05 Hate to leave it.
00:42:06 - Expect to go far?
00:42:09 - Maybe.
00:42:10 Maybe.
00:42:12 Maybe I'll be back.
00:42:13 And maybe I won't.
00:42:15 It depends.
00:42:17 - On what?
00:42:20 - On what there is to come back to.
00:42:22 - I'll be just a minute.
00:42:24 What would you come back for, Mr. Stanton?
00:42:30 - June.
00:42:31 - I gathered as much.
00:42:32 Let's be frank, shall we?
00:42:34 - My cards are on the table, Miss Mills.
00:42:36 - I want you to leave June alone.
00:42:38 We don't know who you are or where you come from.
00:42:41 What do you do?
00:42:42 - Nothing.
00:42:43 - That's frank at least.
00:42:45 - And I'm sure you'll be interested to know
00:42:47 I have no bank account either.
00:42:49 - I thought so.
00:42:50 - Your hand is showing, Miss Mills.
00:42:53 You've got a trump card, money.
00:42:54 And because I haven't--
00:42:55 - That isn't true.
00:42:57 It has nothing to do with money.
00:42:59 June has quite enough for herself, even without my share.
00:43:01 - Your share?
00:43:03 - Yes, she'll get that too.
00:43:04 I want her to be happy, that's all I care about.
00:43:07 It's all hers, whatever I have.
00:43:09 In San Francisco, Mr. Stanton, where no one can touch it.
00:43:13 Not until she meets the right man.
00:43:17 - Well, maybe I'm not the right man after all.
00:43:20 - And you won't see her again?
00:43:23 - Suppose we leave that up to the one concerned.
00:43:26 (car engine rumbling)
00:43:29 (car door slams)
00:43:33 (car engine rumbling)
00:43:36 (gentle music)
00:43:41 - There you are.
00:43:44 - Thank you.
00:43:45 Wonderful, just wonderful.
00:43:53 - If I've accomplished nothing else,
00:43:54 at least I made you like one of the little things I like.
00:43:57 - I have my little secrets too.
00:44:01 - Bet you think all I do is read big, heavy books,
00:44:04 don't you?
00:44:05 Well, I don't.
00:44:06 For years, I've been saving ads out of magazines.
00:44:09 Sometimes I feel like I'm the girl in the ads.
00:44:14 Softly alluring, full of grace,
00:44:18 gowned by Schiaparelli.
00:44:20 - Well, if I had money, I'd dress you like the ads.
00:44:22 Take you to New York, at least to San Francisco.
00:44:25 You'd have that Schiaparelli gown.
00:44:26 - It isn't that important.
00:44:29 - It would be when I took you to the nightclubs,
00:44:31 the theater, the concerts.
00:44:34 Did you ever hear the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra?
00:44:36 - Mm-hmm, on the radio.
00:44:38 - Oh, what do you hear on the radio?
00:44:39 A lot of noise.
00:44:41 But when you see 'em up on the stage,
00:44:43 all dressed up with their fiddles and their horns,
00:44:46 people right up to the roof,
00:44:47 10,000 of 'em waiting for the music to begin.
00:44:49 That's a concert, particularly when Toscanini conducts,
00:44:51 like he's going to tomorrow afternoon.
00:44:54 - Toscanini?
00:44:54 - Yeah.
00:44:57 You know what?
00:44:58 After the concert, I'll get him to listen to you play,
00:45:00 see who's right about your talent, you and me.
00:45:03 - You know Arturo Toscanini?
00:45:04 - I'll make it my business to meet him, for you.
00:45:07 We can leave for San Francisco in the morning,
00:45:08 make it in plenty of time, all right?
00:45:10 - Yeah.
00:45:12 - Your sister?
00:45:14 - Yes.
00:45:15 - You gonna do everything she says?
00:45:19 - No, but I...
00:45:21 - Well, I guess after tonight, it's goodbye.
00:45:23 - I guess it is.
00:45:27 - Anyway, there are a few things to remember.
00:45:29 It could have been wonderful.
00:45:35 If I were another guy, the right guy,
00:45:42 it could have gone on like this, night after night,
00:45:45 just the two of us.
00:45:46 The fire, hot dogs, wine, martinis.
00:45:51 - Wonderful martinis.
00:45:54 - Could have been a dream.
00:45:57 - A beautiful dream.
00:45:58 - You and I together, New York and San Francisco.
00:46:02 Getting you all those things in the ads.
00:46:05 Going everywhere together, to the concerts,
00:46:09 to hear the famous people play.
00:46:11 Becoming famous yourself.
00:46:13 Great career.
00:46:15 Miss June Mills, the finest talent of them all.
00:46:19 Woman of the year.

00:47:12 (knocking)
00:47:18 - Who is it?
00:47:21 - Eric, I've got to see you right away.
00:47:23 - I can wait till tomorrow.
00:47:25 - It's important.
00:47:26 - Okay, I'm listening.
00:47:28 - I can't talk to you like this.
00:47:30 - I can hear you.
00:47:32 - Come on, open up that door.
00:47:33 What are you afraid of?
00:47:34 - Oh, pipe down, will ya?
00:47:36 Quiet, do you wanna wake everybody up?
00:47:39 What do you want?
00:47:41 - I came to tell you I can't go through with it,
00:47:43 like I planned.
00:47:44 It'll take too long.
00:47:45 - I knew it, you didn't stand a chance.
00:47:49 - That isn't it.
00:47:49 Look, you know how I feel about you.
00:47:53 You've gotta believe in me, have confidence in me.
00:47:55 I want you, Stella.
00:47:57 I'm nuts about you.
00:47:58 - That wasn't the deal.
00:47:59 - Well, what of it?
00:48:01 I'll get you that home and everything you wanted with it.
00:48:03 I can do it.
00:48:04 I've got ideas that work, pay off big.
00:48:07 Come on, let's get out of here, tonight.
00:48:09 - I'm taking no chances.
00:48:11 - Now listen, Stella.
00:48:12 - I stick to a deal.
00:48:14 Satisfied there's nobody here?
00:48:20 Now beat it.
00:48:34 (phone ringing)
00:48:37 - Yeah?
00:48:46 - Eric?
00:48:48 - Yeah.
00:48:49 - So glad.
00:48:50 I was afraid you might have already left.
00:48:52 - Who is this?
00:48:53 - June.
00:48:54 Eric, I'm going with you.
00:48:56 - To San Francisco?
00:49:00 - To the concert on the nine o'clock train.
00:49:01 We'll pick you up on the way to the station.
00:49:04 - We?
00:49:05 - Yes, Clara's going along too.
00:49:07 She had to go to San Francisco anyway
00:49:08 to take care of some business,
00:49:10 so she thought she might as well do it
00:49:11 a week ahead of time.
00:49:13 - Have her along.
00:49:14 - Thank you, Eric.
00:49:15 We'll be right over.
00:49:16 (train rumbling)
00:49:28 (train horn blaring)
00:49:31 - Wanna wait here?
00:49:45 - No, I'll go in with you.
00:49:46 - Do you mind?
00:49:47 - Not at all.
00:49:58 - Mills, number 17.
00:50:00 - Yes, Miss Mills.
00:50:01 Clara and June Mills, joint ownership.
00:50:03 Either one of you sign here.
00:50:05 - What's the rent on a box?
00:50:07 - $4 and up.
00:50:08 It's not available now.
00:50:10 We might have some vacancies next month.
00:50:12 - But I need one now.
00:50:14 - You can put whatever you want in our box.
00:50:16 - No, thanks.
00:50:17 I might need it when you're home.
00:50:18 - Come on, June.
00:50:19 (train rumbling)
00:50:22 - Have you a telephone directory?
00:50:33 - Yes, right around the corner.
00:50:35 - This way?
00:50:36 - Yes.
00:50:37 - Thanks.
00:50:38 (train rumbling)
00:50:41 (keys jingling)
00:50:44 (keys jingling)
00:51:13 - The gentleman went to the phone.
00:51:15 - Thank you.
00:51:16 - That was great luck I found him in.
00:51:20 - Who?
00:51:21 - Somebody very important.
00:51:22 Might have a great effect on your career.
00:51:24 - Who is he?
00:51:25 - Wait till you meet him.
00:51:26 I told him we'd be over right away.
00:51:27 - Go ahead.
00:51:30 I wanna make a call from here.
00:51:31 I'll meet you after the concert.
00:51:33 - No, we wouldn't think of it.
00:51:34 Eric asked you to go with us.
00:51:36 - Thanks, but...
00:51:36 - Sure, you're going.
00:51:38 Meet us at 230 Sharp in front of the auditorium.
00:51:41 - 230.
00:51:42 Good luck.
00:51:43 - Thanks.
00:51:44 We'll need it.
00:51:45 - There is no concert.
00:52:10 I suppose you know that.
00:52:11 - He knew it all along.
00:52:13 Getting us all the way up here to San Francisco,
00:52:15 pretending...
00:52:15 - He had to.
00:52:17 - Why?
00:52:17 - Can you think of any better way
00:52:18 of getting June out of Walton?
00:52:19 Long as she was there, we didn't have a chance.
00:52:21 - What chance?
00:52:22 - Get married.
00:52:24 - Married?
00:52:25 - Sure.
00:52:26 Here's the evidence.
00:52:27 Certificate of marriage.
00:52:29 - June.
00:52:32 You don't know what you've done.
00:52:35 - I do.
00:52:36 - I'll have the whole thing annulled.
00:52:39 - No, you won't, Clara.
00:52:41 I know what I want.
00:52:41 This isn't as sudden as you think.
00:52:43 - Well, what's the verdict?
00:52:48 - I hope you'll be very happy.
00:52:52 - Thank you, Clara.
00:52:53 - I suppose the next thing to say is, shall we be friends?
00:52:56 - We could be.
00:52:59 If you'd make June happy.
00:53:01 - Sure I will.
00:53:02 Right from the start.
00:53:03 - What are your plans?
00:53:07 - Well, I'd like to go home first
00:53:08 and get a few things together.
00:53:10 - Then we'll go someplace for a little while.
00:53:12 All right, Eric?
00:53:13 - Okay, back to Welton.
00:53:14 But first I'd like to try another bank.
00:53:17 I want to put this in a safe deposit box.
00:53:19 Don't want to take any chances carrying it around.
00:53:21 I'm a few valuables too, you know.
00:53:23 - Why don't you put it in our box?
00:53:24 - I wouldn't pass them, it's in your name.
00:53:26 - I'll put it away for you.
00:53:27 I always thought of it that way, didn't I, June?
00:53:37 - Yes, dear.
00:53:38 - I said to myself, when June gets married,
00:53:41 this will be her home.
00:53:42 I'll give it to her and her husband
00:53:44 to do with as they please.
00:53:45 If I'm to stay on, it'll be as a guest.
00:53:49 A guest in June's home.
00:53:52 Assuming, of course, that I'm wanted.
00:53:56 - Of course we want you with us.
00:53:58 - Absolutely.
00:53:58 Here, have some more.
00:53:59 - No.
00:54:00 It's time for a guest to say goodnight.
00:54:04 - Goodnight.
00:54:06 (gentle music)
00:54:09 - Goodnight, Clara.

00:56:13 (bell ringing)
00:56:16 - Won't you even have a drink with me?
00:56:21 - I got a date.
00:56:22 - Can I walk you home?
00:56:25 - I said I got a date.
00:56:27 - Goodnight, Stella.
00:56:30 Don't forget to lock the door.
00:56:32 (door slamming)
00:56:36 (gentle music)
00:56:39 - Stella?
00:56:42 - Yeah?
00:56:43 - You're going to San Francisco tomorrow.
00:56:46 - Am I?
00:56:46 - Tomorrow I'll have that money, all of it.
00:56:50 You meet me up there and then we'll--
00:56:52 - How do I know you'll have it?
00:56:54 - 'Cause I'm going to San Francisco with her to get it.
00:56:57 - Well, I won't and she won't either.
00:57:00 - Oh yes, she will.
00:57:01 It's her honeymoon.
00:57:05 - Her what?
00:57:06 - Yeah, I married her this afternoon.
00:57:09 It was the only way.
00:57:12 - Congratulations.
00:57:14 - Now listen, we're really not married.
00:57:19 I mean, we'll be divorced in no time.
00:57:22 I haven't even kissed her.
00:57:23 As a matter of fact, I can have it and know.
00:57:24 - Goodnight.
00:57:25 (door creaking)
00:57:26 - Now wait a minute.
00:57:28 - What do you want?
00:57:29 She's your wife, not me.
00:57:31 I don't run around with married men.
00:57:33 - I did it for you.
00:57:34 To get you what you wanted.
00:57:36 Now you'll keep your part of the deal.
00:57:38 - Oh, sure, but she's got the ring on her finger.
00:57:41 She's not so dumb.
00:57:42 Well, I'm not a dope either.
00:57:45 (car engine roaring)
00:57:48 (car engine roaring)
00:57:51 - Good morning.
00:58:13 - Good morning.
00:58:16 - Sugar, cream? - No.
00:58:18 - Go ahead, say it.
00:58:28 - I have nothing to say, Eric.
00:58:29 I'm waiting for you.
00:58:32 - Well, I'm sorry.
00:58:35 Maybe I shouldn't have stayed up.
00:58:38 - You shouldn't have stayed up.
00:58:39 - I'm sorry.
00:58:40 - You shouldn't have stayed up.
00:58:41 - I'm sorry.
00:58:42 - You shouldn't have stayed up.
00:58:43 - I'm sorry.
00:58:43 - You shouldn't have stayed up.
00:58:44 - I shouldn't have stayed out that late.
00:58:46 All of a sudden there I was, a married man.
00:58:49 I had to go out for a drink.
00:58:52 By the time I got back in, you were asleep.
00:58:56 - Why did you go to see that girl in the diner?
00:58:57 - What girl?
00:58:58 - Clara saw you.
00:59:00 - You mean she went out after me?
00:59:03 - Yes, she told me this morning.
00:59:05 - Well, that's fine.
00:59:07 Clara told you.
00:59:09 What you gonna do?
00:59:09 Follow me around everywhere I go?
00:59:11 Check up on me?
00:59:12 That sister of yours has been running your life
00:59:14 up to now and she better stay out of mine.
00:59:16 You tell her.
00:59:17 - I was angry with her too at first, but she means well.
00:59:20 - Yeah?
00:59:21 Now why didn't she tell you?
00:59:22 So you could have a good time worrying?
00:59:26 - I didn't worry.
00:59:28 Until that, that man came to see you.
00:59:33 - What man?
00:59:35 - He's with the police.
00:59:38 Wants to ask you something.
00:59:41 - Ask me what?
00:59:43 - About that girl.
00:59:45 She was found murdered.
00:59:46 - Stella?
00:59:50 - Yes, yes, that was her name.
00:59:53 Eric, what did she mean to you?
01:00:00 Does Mr. Judd know?
01:00:05 - Judd?
01:00:08 - He's downstairs waiting.
01:00:10 (door opens)
01:00:13 (door closes)
01:00:18 - Mr. Judd?
01:00:25 - Congratulations, Mr. Stanton.
01:00:27 I just heard you were married.
01:00:28 And my very best wishes to you, Mrs. Stanton.
01:00:30 - Thank you.
01:00:31 - Well, our church organist certainly surprised us all.
01:00:34 Married in San Francisco and not in the church.
01:00:37 It certainly saves time, doesn't it?
01:00:39 Gives one the chance to get back the same night
01:00:41 and have a nice little family dinner.
01:00:43 And after that, where'd you go?
01:00:44 - We retired.
01:00:46 - Everybody?
01:00:47 - I locked the door myself.
01:00:49 - Mm-hmm.
01:00:50 Well, I guess I'll check up on a few things.
01:00:54 - Mind if I go with you?
01:00:55 - Not a bit.
01:00:57 Thank you.
01:01:08 - How did it happen?
01:01:10 Who did it?
01:01:11 - I don't know yet.
01:01:11 The chief of police called me this morning
01:01:13 and asked me to give them a little help.
01:01:15 He appointed me special investigator.
01:01:17 You know, it's strange.
01:01:19 - What is?
01:01:20 - That a man doesn't spend his wedding night at home.
01:01:23 - Did Clara tell you?
01:01:24 - No, she didn't say anything.
01:01:26 I saw you around myself.
01:01:37 - Out of the way, folks.
01:01:38 One side, please.
01:01:40 - Hiya, Mr. Judd.
01:01:43 One side, please.
01:01:50 One side.
01:01:51 Out of the way.
01:01:52 - Hello, Mr. Judd.
01:02:02 - Hi, sir.
01:02:03 (door rattling)
01:02:06 - Hello, Pop.
01:02:24 - You can sit down now.
01:02:26 - Thanks for coming, Mr. Judd.
01:02:28 - Chief.
01:02:29 - The coroner was here.
01:02:31 He'll send in his report as soon as possible.
01:02:33 In the meantime, however, here's what he said.
01:02:37 She was killed by a blow to the head.
01:02:42 - A blow to the head?
01:02:43 - Yes.
01:02:44 - And she was shot?
01:02:45 - Yes.
01:02:45 - And she was shot?
01:02:46 - Yes.
01:02:47 - And she was shot?
01:02:48 - Yes.
01:02:49 - And she was shot?
01:02:50 - Yes.
01:02:50 - And she was shot?
01:02:51 - Yes.
01:02:52 - And she was shot?
01:02:53 - Yes.
01:02:54 - And she was shot?
01:02:55 - Yes.
01:02:55 - And she was shot?
01:02:56 - Yes.
01:02:57 - And she was shot?
01:02:58 - Yes.
01:02:59 - And she was shot?
01:03:00 - Yes.
01:03:01 - And she was shot?
01:03:01 - Yes.
01:03:02 - And she was shot?
01:03:03 - Yes.
01:03:04 - And she was shot?
01:03:05 - Yes.
01:03:06 - And she was shot?
01:03:06 - Yes.
01:03:07 - And she was shot?
01:03:08 - Yes.
01:03:09 - And she was shot?
01:03:10 - Yes.
01:03:11 - And she was shot?
01:03:11 - Yes.
01:03:12 - And she was shot?
01:03:13 - Yes.
01:03:14 - And she was shot?
01:03:15 - Yes.
01:03:16 - And she was shot?
01:03:16 - Yes.
01:03:17 - And she was shot?
01:03:18 - Yes.
01:03:19 - And she was shot?
01:03:20 - Yes.
01:03:21 - I saw her watch under the step this morning.
01:03:24 Guess he must have dropped it.
01:03:25 - What did he look like?
01:03:38 - I don't know, mister.
01:03:39 It was so dark I couldn't see him.
01:03:42 Just as I went to close the window,
01:03:44 I saw him running down the street.
01:03:45 - How do you know it was a man you saw?
01:03:48 - I didn't say it was a man.
01:03:48 - That it was a woman?
01:03:50 - No.
01:03:51 - It had to be a man.
01:03:52 - Well, I guess it was.
01:03:53 A man always took her home.
01:03:55 - Who?
01:03:56 - I don't know.
01:03:57 I saw him come up.
01:03:59 And once I saw him.
01:04:06 - Which one did you see last night?
01:04:11 - Oh, I can't say if it was them, honest.
01:04:14 Can I go now, mister?
01:04:17 I should be down in the store.
01:04:18 Please.
01:04:20 I don't like to stay in here.
01:04:22 - You can go.
01:04:23 So can you, Pop.
01:04:32 I don't need you right now.
01:04:35 - Let me stay, mister Judd.
01:04:38 It's her room.
01:04:39 - It was her room, Pop.
01:04:40 - She was a good girl, wasn't she, mister Judd?
01:04:44 She never meant bad.
01:04:45 Everybody liked her.
01:04:48 - Yes.
01:04:50 Everybody.
01:04:51 Your name?
01:04:56 - Atkins.
01:04:57 I gave my statement to the chief.
01:04:59 - What do you do?
01:05:00 - Well, you know me.
01:05:01 I operate jukeboxes around here.
01:05:02 - And slot machines.
01:05:03 - Only in Nevada, where it's legal.
01:05:06 Now look, I already said what happened to the chief.
01:05:09 I'm not answering any more questions.
01:05:10 - Makes you think I'm going to question you, mister Atkins.
01:05:14 - I know how cops work.
01:05:16 - How do they work, mister Atkins?
01:05:18 - Well, you're supposed to show me.
01:05:20 - Perhaps we'd better go in there, if you don't mind.
01:05:26 - No, I don't mind.
01:05:27 - Here's his statement, mister Judd.
01:05:33 - Check his alibi.
01:05:35 There's a phone in the store downstairs.
01:05:36 - Right away.
01:05:37 (door creaking)
01:05:40 - Sit down.
01:05:55 Now, let's get down to facts, mister Atkins.
01:06:04 - You've got my alibi right there.
01:06:06 - You don't believe me?
01:06:07 Why don't you wait until the chief gets back?
01:06:09 - But I'm not interested in your alibi.
01:06:11 I'd like to know when you gave her this watch.
01:06:14 - When?
01:06:15 Why don't you ask me if I gave it to her?
01:06:18 - I know you did.
01:06:19 - You don't.
01:06:20 I told you I know how cops work.
01:06:23 - I don't believe you know how I work, mister Atkins.
01:06:30 - Those kid gloves?
01:06:35 - Certainly.
01:06:37 I don't like to mess up any case I'm on.
01:06:39 - You gave her the watch, didn't you?
01:06:44 - No.
01:06:45 - You did.
01:06:45 - No.
01:06:46 - You gave it her.
01:06:47 You gave her the watch, didn't you?
01:06:50 - No.
01:06:51 - You did.
01:06:51 (thudding)
01:06:52 You gave it her.
01:06:53 - No.
01:06:54 (thudding)
01:06:56 - You gave it her.
01:06:59 (thudding)
01:07:02 (water running)
01:07:04 - All right, let's pick it up.
01:07:19 What about you and Stella?
01:07:20 - Well, I've known her for a long time.
01:07:23 I used to board at her mother's home down in San Diego.
01:07:31 I didn't have any money then, so I couldn't marry her.
01:07:36 - Skip the romance.
01:07:37 Last night you picked her up at 10.15.
01:07:41 You were with her until two.
01:07:42 What happened in between?
01:07:43 - Had dinner.
01:07:45 Drove down to the beach.
01:07:48 - Well, you got there, didn't you?
01:07:51 - Yeah, yeah.
01:07:52 That's when she said she'd marry me.
01:07:55 - Then you brought her home.
01:07:57 You came up to kiss the bride.
01:07:58 - No, no, I didn't come up.
01:08:00 I left right away.
01:08:02 You see, when Stella was murdered,
01:08:05 I was in a motor court just outside of Glen Olden.
01:08:08 That's 100 miles away.
01:08:10 - How do you know what time Stella was murdered?
01:08:12 - The coroner's report.
01:08:13 It says around four.
01:08:16 Well, you know I couldn't have murdered her.
01:08:20 - Sit down.
01:08:21 You did give her the watch, didn't you?
01:08:29 - No.
01:08:30 Tell him I went home.
01:08:32 - Come on, Mr. Atkins.
01:08:34 Just for the record, so we can clear that up.
01:08:36 Doesn't make you any more guilty if you did give it to her.
01:08:39 You quarreled, you took it back,
01:08:43 and you lost it on the way down.
01:08:45 - No, I never gave her any jewelry.
01:08:47 - Come on, Mr. Atkins, admit it.
01:08:49 - No.
01:08:50 - But you were generous just once.
01:08:51 - No.
01:08:52 - Admit it.
01:08:53 - No.
01:08:54 (grunting)
01:08:57 - Mr. Stanton?
01:09:02 - Look, you don't try that on me.
01:09:05 - I wouldn't think of it.
01:09:07 I just happen not to like his face.
01:09:10 - Mr. Jarrett, his alibi is okay.
01:09:13 The Lido Motor Court in Glen Olden
01:09:15 said he checked in at 2.30.
01:09:17 - All right, Mr. Atkins, you may go now.
01:09:22 - I knew his alibi, Ludo.
01:09:24 - You got the watch?
01:09:25 - I didn't say you could go, Mr. Stanton.
01:09:32 Sit down.
01:09:37 - I'm onto the rules.
01:09:38 You can't ask me anything or hold me without charges.
01:09:41 - You seem to be an expert on loopholes.
01:09:44 Perhaps you could tell us who might have murdered the girl.
01:09:46 - I don't know, could have been anybody.
01:09:47 Atkins, maybe.
01:09:48 - No, it isn't Atkins.
01:09:49 - Pop, he was stuck on her.
01:09:51 - Perhaps.
01:09:52 Or was it a woman, Clara Mills?
01:09:54 - Or the woman downstairs.
01:09:55 - Or you, Mr. Stanton.
01:09:56 - Or you, Mr. Judd.
01:09:57 - A splendid deduction.
01:09:59 Possibilities are many,
01:10:01 and all quite interesting, don't you think?
01:10:03 - In a cold-blooded sort of way, sure.
01:10:05 - You still aren't helping us get anywhere.
01:10:06 - It's your case.
01:10:07 - But you're involved in it, more than you realize.
01:10:10 - Now look.
01:10:11 - I'm looking.
01:10:12 The facts, they're all against you.
01:10:14 You came into town with no obvious reasons.
01:10:18 Of course, you were going elsewhere.
01:10:22 Meet a young lady, spend some time with her,
01:10:25 then you come up here.
01:10:26 The woman downstairs saw you.
01:10:28 Then you meet another young lady and marry her.
01:10:32 On your wedding night, you walked the streets
01:10:34 looking for young lady number one.
01:10:36 How do we know you didn't wait for her until--
01:10:39 - I didn't.
01:10:39 - You're an expert, Mr. Stanton.
01:10:44 You know the exact value of a man's word against facts.
01:10:47 - Are you accusing me?
01:10:49 - Not yet.
01:10:50 Perhaps after we find the weapon.
01:10:53 However, I wouldn't plan on any
01:10:54 out-of-town honeymoon just yet.
01:10:56 We might need you any moment.
01:10:59 Good day.
01:11:01 - What are you packing for?
01:11:11 You're not going away now, are you?
01:11:12 - Yes, I am.
01:11:13 - June, I won't let you go with him,
01:11:16 not after that girl was murdered.
01:11:17 - I'm going, Clara.
01:11:19 - How can you?
01:11:20 Why throw yourself away on someone who's not worth it?
01:11:23 He isn't worth it.
01:11:24 Oh, June, it's no use.
01:11:26 There's no happiness in it.
01:11:27 I know, I've been through all this.
01:11:28 - It's not the same thing, Clara.
01:11:30 Please try to understand.
01:11:32 - I do understand.
01:11:33 Once I believed in someone, too.
01:11:36 No matter what people said, I believed in him.
01:11:39 You don't know what he meant to me,
01:11:42 what all of his lies and broken promises
01:11:44 and dishonesty did to me.
01:11:45 I can't let you ruin your life, too.
01:11:49 - June, a man who went out after another woman
01:11:51 the night of your marriage.
01:11:52 - Maybe you're right, Clara, but I can't let it end now.
01:11:55 I must give us every chance.
01:11:56 I hardly know him yet.
01:11:58 We've said so little to each other,
01:11:59 we're practically strangers.
01:12:01 Together, maybe he'll change.
01:12:03 - He won't change.
01:12:05 - Maybe not, but at least I'll have tried,
01:12:07 done everything I could.
01:12:09 Goodbye, Clara.
01:12:12 (door slams)
01:12:14 - Eric, there's a train leaving in a half hour, and I thought--
01:12:27 - Forget about the honeymoon.
01:12:29 I'm beating it alone.
01:12:30 I'll make better time.
01:12:32 - You're running away.
01:12:33 - What do you want me to do, stick around here, get framed?
01:12:37 My face punched in.
01:12:38 You bet I'm running away.
01:12:40 - Won't it look bad if they watch you?
01:12:43 - That's for Mr. Judd to figure out.
01:12:44 If he wants to pin it on me, he'll have to find me first.
01:12:47 - Where will you go?
01:12:50 - What do you want to know for?
01:12:52 - 'Cause I wanna go with you.
01:12:53 You'll need me to get the money, San Francisco.
01:12:57 - Who asked you for money?
01:12:59 - You'll need it.
01:12:59 - You mean, you're giving me the money?
01:13:04 - No, no, I'm not giving it to you.
01:13:06 It belongs to both of us.
01:13:07 - All right.
01:13:09 When this thing blows over, I'll pay it back to you,
01:13:11 every cent.
01:13:12 - Very well, I'll get the car.
01:13:13 - No, and we can't take the train or the bus either.
01:13:17 Judd'll have 'em all watched.
01:13:19 We've gotta get on the highway without being seen.
01:13:21 We'll hitchhike to San Francisco, and no luggage.
01:13:23 It's gotta look as if we were just out taking a walk.
01:13:26 Come on.
01:13:27 (train horn blaring)
01:13:35 (train clanking)
01:13:38 - Good evening.
01:13:54 - In and out, out and in.
01:13:57 - Sorry.
01:13:58 - One right after the other.
01:13:59 Can't even wait 'til the room's ready.
01:14:02 I never saw such a rush.
01:14:05 Everybody getting married.
01:14:06 - What a dump.
01:14:12 - It isn't so bad.
01:14:15 Tired?
01:14:22 - Maybe I am.
01:14:24 Waiting for something to happen.
01:14:26 - Nothing's going to happen.
01:14:30 (papers rustling)
01:14:33 (papers rustling)
01:14:36 (papers rustling)
01:14:38 (door thudding)
01:14:50 (door thudding)
01:15:04 (water running)
01:15:07 - Shut it off, will you?
01:15:16 - I just thought you might like a drink.
01:15:23 - I sure would, but not that.
01:15:26 - Well, there's a bar downstairs,
01:15:27 and we still have a little money left.
01:15:29 - What do you want me to do, walk right into his arms?
01:15:32 - He probably isn't after you at all.
01:15:34 - Not much.
01:15:35 Must have sent a description of me to all the papers.
01:15:40 Maybe we missed an edition.
01:15:46 - Couldn't be in the papers yet, it's too early.
01:15:48 There's no reason to be afraid.
01:15:49 - Sure, murder raps nothing.
01:15:52 Let's just up and go home so he can pin it on me.
01:15:55 - I didn't say we ought to go home.
01:15:56 - Oh, you didn't say it, but you meant it.
01:15:59 Room's not good enough.
01:16:00 - Why don't you go on, tell me.
01:16:01 I got you into this.
01:16:02 I'm sorry you ever came.
01:16:04 - But I'm not sorry, I wanted to.
01:16:06 - What for, so you could drive me nuts
01:16:08 with that quiet way of yours?
01:16:09 - Eric.
01:16:10 - Why'd I ever bring you anyway?
01:16:12 I don't need your dough.
01:16:13 Wouldn't have to wait around here, hang around this dump.
01:16:15 If I'd been alone, I could have kept right on going.
01:16:18 Maybe I will.
01:16:20 (door closing)
01:16:23 (dramatic music)
01:16:33 - Devil's scotch, thanks.
01:16:44 Better make it a single.
01:16:45 I'll settle for a beer.
01:16:47 - Better make up your mind, mister.
01:16:49 - It is made up of beer.
01:16:51 (dramatic music)
01:16:53 (dramatic music)
01:16:56 (dramatic music)
01:16:59 (water running)
01:17:24 (water running)
01:17:26 - Eric?
01:17:34 - Yes.
01:17:34 - Could you give me a towel, please?
01:17:38 They're on the bed.
01:17:39 - Here.
01:17:45 - Thank you.
01:17:47 (door closing)
01:17:49 Eric, could you get me my coat, it's in the closet?
01:17:58 - Here.
01:18:08 (door closing)
01:18:14 (door opening)
01:18:16 - I, uh, thought I'd bring you one of these.
01:18:32 - Thank you.
01:18:35 - And this.
01:18:38 Help you pass the time.
01:18:40 - That's very sweet of you.
01:18:44 I thought it would say it better than I could.
01:18:46 And I'm sorry, just nervous, I guess.
01:18:50 - I understand.
01:18:51 - Well, all I mean is,
01:18:53 there's nothing in it for you chasing around like this.
01:18:55 You ought to go home.
01:18:55 - No.
01:18:56 - Why do you waste your money on a guy like me?
01:18:58 - I'm not wasting my money.
01:19:01 It's yours as well, I don't care what you do with it.
01:19:03 Burn it up, tear it up, do anything you want with it!
01:19:05 - Take it easy.
01:19:10 I'll limit it for your sake.
01:19:12 If you had any consideration at all,
01:19:14 you wouldn't even mention the money.
01:19:16 - Okay, but anytime you want to,
01:19:18 you can always pull out, remember that.
01:19:20 Bill fixed you up with a divorce just for the asking.
01:19:22 Just tell him how I lied to you,
01:19:23 that I only married you for your money,
01:19:25 I'm wanted for murder, and--
01:19:26 - You didn't murder that girl.
01:19:27 - Maybe I did, you didn't even ask me.
01:19:28 - I didn't have to, I knew you didn't.
01:19:30 - What do you know about--
01:19:31 - All I know is that I love you.
01:19:32 I love you, Eric, I love you!
01:19:34 (crying)
01:19:36 (crying)
01:19:38 - I could go on for the rest of the night
01:20:00 telling you about my batting average.
01:20:02 - How many times I've struck out.
01:20:04 - Even when I hit a home run.
01:20:05 - There's nothing different.
01:20:07 Like the time in New York, just before I came west.
01:20:11 I'd started a publicity office.
01:20:13 Like always, it was great in the beginning.
01:20:15 Guy comes along, wants to buy the business,
01:20:18 offered me 8,000 bucks on the line.
01:20:20 I took it.
01:20:22 We had a big celebration that night.
01:20:24 A couple of hours, I'd lost half of it back.
01:20:27 To him and his friends.
01:20:29 I knew the dice were loaded,
01:20:31 but I couldn't prove it.
01:20:33 Anyway, I came west.
01:20:34 Chicago for a while.
01:20:36 Then Omaha.
01:20:38 Las Vegas, that's where I dropped the other half of the dough.
01:20:42 When I was kicked off of that bus at Walton,
01:20:47 I only had one dollar left.
01:20:48 And then,
01:20:52 ah, but why go on?
01:20:54 - I want to know everything about you.
01:20:58 - It all adds up to only one thing.
01:21:03 A washout.
01:21:05 That's what you're looking at.
01:21:06 A complete washout at 30.
01:21:08 Yeah, I'm finished, okay?
01:21:12 - You're not finished, Eric.
01:21:14 - Sure I am.
01:21:15 I'm tired.
01:21:16 Like I was a million years old,
01:21:19 with a million jobs behind me.
01:21:21 And girls.
01:21:23 Chances I never followed up.
01:21:25 - Eric, did you care very much for Stella?
01:21:34 - I don't know.
01:21:34 I guess I did.
01:21:37 I even promised her I'd marry her.
01:21:41 - I can't figure it out now.
01:21:44 Would've lasted a couple weeks.
01:21:48 Maybe less.
01:21:49 Anyway, that's all gone.
01:21:55 Just as if it died with her.
01:21:59 Yeah, that's over too.
01:22:03 Up in smoke, like everything in my life.
01:22:06 My school, the publicity game.
01:22:08 Easy come, easy go.
01:22:10 I got everything by talking fast
01:22:13 in a world that goes for talk.
01:22:15 And end up with exactly nothing.
01:22:17 - Perhaps we can find what you want
01:22:24 when this is all cleared up.
01:22:26 - If it's cleared up.
01:22:27 - Eric, wouldn't it look better not to run away?
01:22:33 To go back to Walton?
01:22:34 - Sure, go back to the chair.
01:22:36 Or is it the gas chamber in California?
01:22:39 - You're innocent.
01:22:40 There's nothing to worry about.
01:22:42 - Maybe that's the way it works in your books.
01:22:45 But even when I was a kid,
01:22:46 I was always being beaten up for something I didn't do.
01:22:49 That's when I learned to run away before it was too late.
01:22:52 - You're tired.
01:22:54 Come, lie down.
01:22:56 (door opens)
01:22:59 Tomorrow, we'll go wherever you want to go.
01:23:07 - Joan, why don't you just go on home?
01:23:13 - We're married, remember?
01:23:16 Besides, I want to be with you.
01:23:20 - Why?
01:23:22 - I need you, Eric.
01:23:26 - You need me?
01:23:27 - Yes.
01:23:29 You're my husband, and I'm your wife.
01:23:33 - Right out of a book, again.
01:23:37 - Yes, out of a book.
01:23:41 We were born to tread the earth as angels,
01:23:45 to seek out heaven this side of the sky.
01:23:50 But they who race alone shall stumble in the dark
01:23:54 and fall from grace.
01:23:56 - Go on, sounds good.
01:24:00 - Then love alone can make the fallen angel rise.
01:24:05 For only two together can enter paradise.
01:24:11 (crickets chirping)
01:24:14 (gentle music)
01:24:29 (gentle music continues)
01:24:33 (gentle music continues)
01:24:36 (gentle music continues)
01:24:40 (door opens)
01:24:47 (door closes)
01:24:51 (gentle music continues)
01:24:54 (gentle music continues)
01:25:06 (gentle music continues)
01:25:10 (gentle music continues)
01:25:17 (gentle music continues)
01:25:25 (gentle music continues)
01:25:35 (gentle music continues)
01:25:38 - Four and a half minute eggs.
01:25:43 I certainly married a man with a peculiar taste.
01:25:46 - You can still get out of it.
01:25:47 - Promise me you'll never say that again.
01:25:51 - Okay, I promise.
01:25:52 - It's 10 o'clock.
01:25:56 The bank just opened.
01:25:56 - Let's go.
01:25:57 (door opens)
01:26:02 - Hey!
01:26:03 (indistinct chatter)
01:26:06 - You wait here, I'll be right back.
01:26:17 - Shine, sir?
01:26:18 (indistinct chatter)
01:26:21 - Mrs. Stanton?
01:26:31 - Yes?
01:26:32 - Come with us, please.
01:26:33 (indistinct chatter)
01:26:36 (engine rumbles)
01:26:39 (whistle blows)
01:26:42 (horn honks)
01:26:45 (engine rumbles)
01:26:48 (horn honks)
01:26:50 (siren wails)
01:26:54 (siren wails)
01:26:56 - Here.
01:27:05 - But I ain't finished yet.
01:27:08 - Now let's be sensible.
01:27:11 We've been here for hours.
01:27:12 (metal clangs)
01:27:18 Tell us where he is.
01:27:19 We're bound to find him soon.
01:27:22 (footsteps)
01:27:24 (metal clangs)
01:27:29 - Mrs. Stanton, you're not helping him or yourself.
01:27:32 Getting mixed up in this murder
01:27:33 is an accessory after the fact.
01:27:35 - If he doesn't want to come back, he must have a reason.
01:27:37 - What reason could an innocent man have,
01:27:41 assuming he's innocent?
01:27:43 - He is. He could never have done it.
01:27:45 - How can you say that?
01:27:47 You know very little about him.
01:27:50 He came into town a total stranger,
01:27:52 and within a week he married you.
01:27:54 All to his credit, of course.
01:27:55 But why this trust in him?
01:27:59 A man who went out to see another woman,
01:28:02 the night of your marriage.
01:28:03 - That's between the two of us.
01:28:06 - I'll ask Miss Clara Mills to come in.
01:28:13 - Miss Mills, please.
01:28:17 (footsteps)
01:28:20 - Mrs. Newman?
01:28:24 - Sit down, Miss Mills.
01:28:26 (metal clangs)
01:28:27 In your sworn statement, you identified this envelope,
01:28:36 which was found in your safe deposit box
01:28:38 as the one Mr. Stanton gave you.
01:28:41 Would you please repeat that for your sister?
01:28:43 - Yes.
01:28:45 This is the envelope he gave me after they were married in San Francisco.
01:28:49 - Why did he want you to put it away?
01:28:51 - He said it contained something valuable.
01:28:53 - Mm-hmm.
01:28:54 Would you care to see your husband's valuable property, Mrs. Stanton?
01:28:59 A blank piece of paper.
01:29:06 Now why would a man want to put a blank piece of paper
01:29:10 in your safe deposit box?
01:29:12 I'll tell you.
01:29:14 It gives him the excuse to open the box, to steal your money.
01:29:18 - No, he wouldn't.
01:29:19 Whatever he did, he...
01:29:21 he did because he was confused.
01:29:22 - He knew what he was doing.
01:29:24 He wanted that money so he could run away with that girl.
01:29:27 - But he didn't run away with her.
01:29:28 - No, he made the mistake of coming back a married man.
01:29:31 And she didn't want to have anything to do with married men.
01:29:34 They had an argument and he killed her.
01:29:36 - You're only assuming that. You have no proof.
01:29:38 - All right.
01:29:39 But why shield a man who lied to you,
01:29:41 who wanted to steal from you,
01:29:43 when you have positive proof that he married you for your money?
01:29:46 - He didn't lie to me.
01:29:48 And he isn't guilty. I know he isn't.
01:29:50 He only ran away because he had to.
01:29:53 He's always had to run away, all his life,
01:29:55 even as a child when he was beaten for things he didn't do.
01:29:59 But he won't come back because of you.
01:30:01 Because you won't give him a chance.
01:30:03 You only think the worst of him.
01:30:05 Trying to make him guilty of murder when he didn't do it.
01:30:08 I tell you he didn't do it! He didn't do it!
01:30:10 (sobs)
01:30:13 (sobs)
01:30:15 - Take her home now.
01:30:17 (sobs)
01:30:19 You're responsible she doesn't leave the house.
01:30:22 (sobs)
01:30:32 - Not the same, Mr. Judd.
01:30:39 I think I'll sell the place.
01:30:43 (door opens)
01:30:45 (doorbell rings)
01:30:52 - Hello Pop.
01:30:56 Some coffee, please.
01:30:58 I knew you'd be back.
01:31:12 - Yeah.
01:31:14 - Well, drink your coffee and we'll go down to the chief of police.
01:31:18 - Thanks.
01:31:20 Enjoy San Francisco?
01:31:24 - Sure.
01:31:27 - How come you didn't go after me? - I didn't have to.
01:31:31 - And how come there wasn't a word about Stella's murder in the papers?
01:31:35 Why are you holding it back? - Professional reasons.
01:31:38 - And was it for professional reasons you beat up Atkins?
01:31:42 When all the time you knew he was innocent?
01:31:45 - You don't seem to appreciate my methods, Mr. Stanton.
01:31:49 - Frankly, no.
01:31:51 That's what brought me back.
01:31:54 You know, I got worrying about you in San Francisco.
01:31:57 - About me?
01:31:58 - Yes, Mr. Judd.
01:32:01 You know, you ought to stay home nights with your bad health.
01:32:05 Not walk the streets.
01:32:07 Like the night you said you saw me looking for Stella.
01:32:11 - More coffee, Pop.
01:32:13 - You know, you weren't strong enough to keep on working on the New York force.
01:32:17 Why are you working so hard on this case?
01:32:19 Maybe you'd better slow down. - Don't you worry about me.
01:32:23 I'm okay.
01:32:25 I said I wanted more coffee, Pop. Get it?
01:32:28 - I don't worry about you, Mr. Judd. Not anymore.
01:32:32 Not since I called a friend of mine in the DA's office in New York.
01:32:37 He assured me you were in perfect health when you left there.
01:32:42 They only retired you from the force because you ruined another man's health.
01:32:46 Almost killed him in a routine investigation.
01:32:49 They would have sent you up if you hadn't had such a good record.
01:32:52 That was before you started to enjoy your work too much.
01:32:56 Wearing gloves, you know. And what's more, I checked up on a... - That's enough.
01:33:01 Save it for the chief.
01:33:03 - Yeah, Pop.
01:33:06 Now, you remember that watch?
01:33:08 The one with the three diamonds that belonged to Stella.
01:33:11 Ever found out who bought it for her? - Perhaps.
01:33:15 - You know, you made your fatal mistake, Judd, when you had June arrested up in San Francisco.
01:33:20 Well, you scared me at first, all right.
01:33:22 But then I stopped. And I began to think.
01:33:26 And I kept right on thinking about that watch.
01:33:29 And I started a little routine investigation of my own.
01:33:32 And the result is, the Walton police will get a wire from San Francisco.
01:33:36 They'll know who bought that watch by tomorrow morning.
01:33:39 That is, unless you admit it tonight.
01:33:42 Shall we go?
01:33:44 Oh, I came in a police car. They're waiting outside. I thought it would be more convenient.
01:33:49 - Sit down.
01:33:53 You don't mind if I finish my coffee? - You're insane, Judd. The police are waiting right outside.
01:34:00 Perhaps I am insane.
01:34:03 Perhaps this might have been the perfect crime if I hadn't dropped the watch.
01:34:11 Oh, I doubt it. Always some slip. - Yeah, there always is.
01:34:16 You understand.
01:34:21 You know what she was like.
01:34:23 You couldn't get away from her either.
01:34:27 For two years, I came in here and drank coffee just to get a look at her.
01:34:32 Day after day for two years.
01:34:37 Insane, perhaps.
01:34:40 Those evenings when she went out with other men, while I was waiting for her in the shadow of the porch.
01:34:45 Remember three nights ago when you brought her home and kissed her?
01:34:51 I was standing there.
01:34:56 Insane, perhaps.
01:34:59 The night before last, when she was out with Atkins.
01:35:04 After he left, I went up.
01:35:06 When she told me she wouldn't wait any longer for my wife to give me a divorce,
01:35:10 that she was going to marry that slot machine operator the next morning,
01:35:14 I hit her.
01:35:17 Unfortunately, I didn't remember my ring.
01:35:21 Get out of the way, Mr. Sam! I'm gonna kill him! He murders Sam!
01:35:25 I'm gonna kill him! I'm gonna kill him! I'm gonna kill him!
01:35:29 Let's go.
01:35:40 Let's go.
01:35:43 You ought to forget it, Pop.
01:36:04 No, I'll never forget Stella.
01:36:08 You will.
01:36:10 I felt the same way myself until...
01:36:13 Well, you'll find yourself, Pop.
01:36:17 Eric.
01:36:26 Where to?
01:36:35 Home.
