05:09Police headquarters.
05:11Oh yes, Dillon.
05:13I'll notify Dick Tracy at once.
05:20Calling car 15.
05:22Calling car 15.
05:24Car 15.
05:26Car 15, Patton speaking.
05:28Contact Dick Tracy at once.
05:30Have him go to the Flawless Fur Warehouse.
05:32Dillon reports some shenanigans.
05:34Busted fuse box in the garage.
05:36Then tell him to call...
05:38Then tell him to call an electrician.
05:40Then tell him to call an electrician.
05:42Not Dick Tracy.
05:43Now wait a minute, Pat.
05:45The night watchman's disappeared.
05:47It might be homicide.
05:48Oh, that's different.
05:49I'll tell Tracy right away.
05:51Roger.
05:57Pennies for a blind old man.
06:00Pennies for a blind old man.
06:02Hello, sightless.
06:03Hi, Patton.
06:05Is it a nice night?
06:06Lovely night, lovely night.
06:07Thank you very much.
06:10Come on.
06:19Hey, Jigger, come here.
06:26Well, what's on your mind, copper?
06:28Where's Tracy?
06:29In the back room, snooping around.
06:31Say, why don't you bloodhounds hold your conventions someplace else?
06:34We like the atmosphere around here.
06:36It's so wholesome.
06:38Looking for me, Pat?
06:39Yeah, I might have to make a call.
06:40Oh.
06:41You find what you're looking for, Tracy?
06:43No, and see that I don't.
06:45I understand Hatchet Harry's been hanging around here.
06:47Why, that's a big mistake.
06:48Say, you know I run a respectable joint.
06:50Do I?
06:52Come on, Pat.
06:54Come back again, Mr. Tracy.
06:56Bring the folks.
06:58Pennies for a blind old man.
07:01Sightless, I want you to do me a favor.
07:03What is it, Mr. Tracy?
07:04I want to know what's going on in Jigger's back room.
07:06Mr. Tracy, you know I can't see a thing.
07:08Keep your eyes open, will you?
07:12Five bucks.
07:15He put that coffee on while I was in here.
07:18Ten minutes later when I came back,
07:20the coffee was boiling over,
07:22the lights were out,
07:23and there was no Holtz.
07:24Did this watchman ever leave the job before?
07:26No, I'm sure of that, because he was a most reliable man.
07:29That's why I'm afraid something happened to him.
07:31What did you do after you called headquarters?
07:33I called Mr. Humphreys.
07:34He's the owner of the place here,
07:35because all the doors were unlocked.
07:37Did you take a look around the inside?
07:39No, I thought we'd best wait till Mr. Humphreys came.
07:42Let's see what happened to the lights.
07:52Those fuses were yanked out on purpose.
07:54See if you can dig some up, perhaps,
07:56so we can have some light.
07:57Right.
08:07Who's that?
08:10It's the police, Mr. Humphreys.
08:12Well, you gave me a scare.
08:14I guess everything's all right.
08:16There's a fortune and furs in that vault tonight.
08:18It is Detective Tracy from headquarters.
08:20You'd better take a look inside, Mr. Humphreys.
08:22I'd rather wait to open the vault.
08:24You see, when Officer Dillon phoned me,
08:26I reported his call to my insurance company
08:28and told them I'd be back in a few minutes.
08:30Well, that's a good thing.
08:32I'd rather wait.
08:34When Officer Dillon phoned me,
08:36I reported his call to my insurance company
08:38and their representatives are going to meet me here.
08:40We're here, Humphreys.
08:44This is Mr. Tracy of police headquarters.
08:46How are you?
08:48I'm Peter Premium, Vice President of the Honesty Insurance Company.
08:50This is Mr. Cutt, my investigator.
08:52He's not just from headquarters.
08:54That's Dick Tracy, Homicide.
08:56That's right.
09:00Say, Dick, I think I'll go out to the car
09:02and see if I can get a radio pickup on that night watchman.
09:04Okay, Pat.
09:06May I have the combination now, Mr. Humphreys?
09:08Certainly.
09:28Well, it's cleaned out.
09:30The ink is hardly drying your policy.
09:32Cutt, I want a thorough investigation of this.
09:34So do I.
09:36I've never had a robbery before.
09:38It's a strange coincidence
09:40that as soon as I switch insurance to the Honesty Company,
09:42I have one.
09:44Are you insinuating that I...
09:46Wait a minute.
09:48Move your foot.
09:50Looks like we got a robbery and you got your homicide.
09:52Mr. Humphreys, may I have an inventory of your loss
09:54with a detailed description of each item?
09:56We can give you that.
09:58There's something wrong
10:00about the watchman being slugged or killed inside the vault.
10:02Something sour about the whole business.
10:04How many of your employees know the combination of the vault, Mr. Humphreys?
10:07None of them.
10:09Oh, Dick, Dick, I got a radio report.
10:11The night watchman's turned up.
10:13Where is he?
10:15They've got him down at the morgue. He's dead.
10:17I'd better go with him. I'll check for you later.
10:24The medical examiner told us not to move him
10:26until you got here, Mr. Tracy.
10:28I see.
10:31Is that him, Cud?
10:33Yeah, that's the night watchman, all right.
10:35Where was the body found?
10:37On Macy near Grand, apparently thrown out of a car.
10:39Did that kill him?
10:41No, he was dead when he was tossed out.
10:43He was killed by a vicious blow that split his skull.
10:45As you can see, it's pretty ugly.
10:47Looks like he'd been hacked with a cleaver.
10:49I don't think so.
10:51A cleaver wouldn't tear the flesh like that.
10:53Well, it's a sentence, not a bullet or a knife wound.
10:55Let's see what we got on him.
11:02Hasn't been fired.
11:04Well, poor fellow never had a chance to use it.
11:06Well, there's not much here.
11:08Hey, there's writing on it.
11:10What?
11:15Well, it isn't very clear.
11:17What do you make of it?
11:19Offhand Greek.
11:21I'd say it looks like, uh, like, uh...
11:23Like scribbling.
11:25We'll take a closer look at this in the laboratory.
11:27Thank you very much, Bill.
11:29When I photographed this,
11:31I darkened all the letters
11:33so it would be reproduced more easily.
11:36Now, we take the first word.
11:38First letter is D.
11:40Second letter is an A.
11:42And the last letter is definitely Y.
11:44Now, in between, it could be an N.
11:46Well, it could be anything.
11:48Does Danny mean anything to you?
11:50Not yet.
11:52D-A-I.
11:54Could be an S.
11:56Y. Could be Daisy.
11:58Now, let's take a look at the next word.
12:02T-H-R-U.
12:04Through.
12:06The next one is easy. It's got to be of.
12:08And the last one definitely is T-H-E-N.
12:10Or that could be an M.
12:12Them.
12:14It can't be through of them.
12:16It must be three of them.
12:18Hawks must have been trying to tell us the three men did the job.
12:21We'd only figure out this first word.
12:23D-A-I-S-Y.
12:25Daisies.
12:27Three of them. Three daisies.
12:29Now, we're getting into poetry.
12:31This last scribbling looks like a license plate number.
12:33Six, seven.
12:35No, that could be a T.
12:37You see? Six, T,
12:39N, two, something, something.
12:41Whenever there's a T in a license plate number, it is.
12:43A truck. You're right, Pat.
12:45Then maybe he meant there were three daisies on a truck.
12:47No, he would have written three daisies.
12:49Daisy and three of them
12:51indicate two separate ideas.
12:53I think Daisy was the name on the truck.
12:55Then there were three guys driving it.
12:57Yes, I think that's it.
12:59Now, let me have that, will you?
13:01Certainly.
13:04Thank you very much, Collins.
13:06Johnson, put this on the air right away.
13:08Get it out to all cars.
13:10Yes, Mr. Tracy.
13:14Calling all cars.
13:16Calling all cars.
13:18Be on the lookout for truck marked Daisy
13:20driven by three men.
13:22License plate number six, T,
13:24N, two, blank, blank.
13:26We want it for robbery and murder.
13:36Go take care of that sign.
13:38Right.
13:48That ought to do it.
13:50Joe better be waiting for us.
13:54Cats, cats.
13:56That guy don't bring another but cats.
14:00Come on.
14:18Pennies for the blind.
14:21Pennies for the blind.
14:23What?
14:25Bless you, bless you.
14:27Pennies for the blind.
14:29Pennies for the, pennies for the blind.
14:31Oh, I need it.
14:33Hey, you.
14:48Look, Cyprus,
14:50how many times do I have to tell you
14:52beggars aren't permitted in here?
14:54How many times do I got to tell you
14:56I ain't no beggar, I'm a merchant.
14:58Well, what are you doing in here, merchant?
15:00Looking for two customers of mine.
15:02Well, can you show them to me?
15:04No, I...
15:06Well, then they're not here. Come on.
15:08Hey, wait a minute.
15:12That's a funny one.
15:18Come on.
15:48Waiting around gives me the jitters, too.
15:50What am I doing? I want it quick.
15:52I want to blow this town.
15:54It ain't ready yet.
15:56Would you stop playing with that cat so I can talk to you?
15:58Go ahead, talk.
16:00Cat don't mind.
16:02Oh, you're such a smart character, ain't you?
16:04You couldn't just hit that night watchman over the head, could you?
16:07You'd better get fancy and tear him up.
16:09Now the whole homicide squad's on our tail.
16:11Can't the boss get rid of the stuff?
16:13Nobody'll touch it now.
16:15At first, a bad nut, but he's got to tie him up with a murder.
16:18We'll never get out, don't I? Never.
16:20All because of you and that itchy hangnail.
16:23You can't use your brains, can you?
16:25Instead of your brains, you got to use that hunk of steel
16:28like some stupid animal.
16:30I know what's the matter with you.
16:32You're a killer, Claude.
16:34You're nothing but a crazy, stupid killer.
16:36Yeah?
16:38No, it's your boss.
16:40Yeah.
16:43Yeah, I'll be there.
16:46The boss have good news.
16:48I got a little something for you.
16:50Give it to me.
16:52You're a cop.
16:54I'm a cop.
16:56I'm a cop.
16:58What's the matter with you?
17:00You're a cop, Claude.
17:02I'm a cop.
17:04The boss have good news.
17:08I found somebody who's interested.
17:10Wants to see the furs tonight.
17:12There, you see, Sam?
17:13We're going to get our dough after all.
17:15When are you going?
17:16Better be at the end of Ham Street in an hour.
17:30Someone in the alley, I was only going to...
17:32Leave it there.
18:03Ham Street.
18:05Ham Street.
18:32Let's go.
19:02Please, mister. Please.
19:27I didn't do nothing.
19:32Please, mister.
19:40Let me in, somebody.
19:42Please, let me in.
19:44Yeah, what's going on out here?
19:46You gotta let me in there, mister.
19:47No one's allowed in here. Beat it.
19:48But, mister, somebody's going to kill me, I swear.
19:50He's right down there.
19:55Now, look, old man, you're drunk and I'm busy,
19:57so beat it, will you?
19:58No, no.
19:59Beat it. Get out of here.
20:00But I tell you, he's there somewhere, mister.
20:01Please, let me in.
20:02Let me in.
20:03Please, let me in.
20:04Mister.
20:32You still hanging around?
20:33I was just going, mister.
20:34I'm going to stay right here till you do.
20:35Oh, that'll be fine.
20:36Thanks, mister.
20:37Thanks.
21:01You stick around.
21:18I'll be right out.
21:19Okay.
21:20Softly now, the fair Ophelia, nymph in thy origins,
21:25be all my sins remembered.
21:28No, no, Vitamin, not like that.
21:30No?
21:31My dear Tess, after 49 years in the theater,
21:34you're telling me.
21:37Well, Dick probably forgot his key.
21:39You let him in, Vitamin.
21:40But don't tell him I'm here.
21:41Something tells me this is what you've been waiting for.
21:51I'm sorry.
21:52Oh, gods, what have we here?
21:54Where's Mr. Tracy?
21:55Mr. Tracy buys his fresh fruit from a dependable dealer.
21:58There you go.
21:59But I've got to see him.
22:00It's important.
22:01You shall not cross this threshold
22:02until you've been thoroughly disinfected.
22:04Take your pidiculous presence elsewhere.
22:07But, mister, you don't understand.
22:08I've been through enough tonight.
22:10Well, you're not going through here.
22:12But look, mister, tell him it's about the furs.
22:14They're going to meet the fence at the end of Hen Street
22:16in a half an hour.
22:19Oh.
22:37I wonder what that cab was doing here.
22:39Must have brought Tess.
22:40She said she'd be over tonight.
22:44But, Vitamin, he might have been important.
22:47What importance could Dick Tracy possibly attach
22:49to an impecunious peddler?
22:54Oh, Dick at last.
22:55Hello, Pat.
22:56Hello.
22:57Sorry to be late, Tess.
22:58How long have you been here?
22:59Three acts of Hamlet, going on four.
23:00Greetings from the Melancholy Dane.
23:03Just in time for Miss Illiquant.
23:05Before you go into that, Vitamin,
23:06who was in that cab that just left here?
23:08Oh, merely a person of no consequence.
23:11Vitamin said he was a peddler.
23:12Yes, a peddler with a most grandiloquent name.
23:17Visionary, I believe he called himself.
23:21Visionary?
23:22Could it have been Sightless?
23:23Did Sightless stop by here?
23:24Stop by?
23:25He practically stormed the gates like a Trojan army of 12.
23:28But I held the fortress, didn't I, Tess?
23:30Look, Vitamin, Sightless is no ordinary peddler.
23:32That is your opinion.
23:35What did he say?
23:37Why, I made a point of forgetting it immediately.
23:39Look, Vitamin, Sightless wouldn't have come here
23:41if it hadn't been important.
23:42What did he say?
23:43Well, in quaint language all his own,
23:46I believe he mentioned something about
23:48something that was going to happen
23:49at the end of some street in some half an hour.
23:53Oh, that's great.
23:54What was going to happen?
23:56I think he said somebody was going to build a fence there.
23:59Build a fence?
24:00Fence.
24:01Maybe it has some connection with the furs.
24:03Yes, yes.
24:04He said something about furs, too.
24:06Vitamin, Sightless said somebody was going to need a fence,
24:08didn't he?
24:09I suppose that makes sense.
24:10It certainly does.
24:11Now, look, try to remember.
24:12At the end of what street did he say?
24:15Let me think.
24:17Let me meditate.
24:20Ah, I think he said it was at the end of Flax Street.
24:25There's no such street.
24:26Well, something like flax.
24:28Uh, rope, flannel.
24:31That's gabardine.
24:33Rope.
24:34Flax.
24:35Could it have been Hemp Street?
24:37Hemp Street, that's more like it.
24:39Hemp, flax.
24:40Who wrote by any other name would smell.
24:42Vitamin, see that Tess gets home all right, will you?
24:44Enchanted.
24:45I'll see you later.
24:46Come on, Pat.
25:10Come on.
25:36Long shot, Lily.
25:37So she's in the fencing business.
25:39Do we surprise her?
25:40No, not yet.
25:41What we're interested in is who's going to meet her.
25:49Hey, she's not going to wait.
25:57Dick Tracy.
25:58You're not running out on your date on my account, are you?
26:00Do you think I make dates on street corners?
26:02I just stopped for a moment to light a cigarette.
26:05Is there a law against it?
26:07No, I guess there isn't.
26:08Then I'll be on my way if you don't mind.
26:11Could I give you a lift?
26:12No, thanks.
26:13I'll give you one.
26:14Pat, you can drive Lily's car.
26:15She's coming with me.
26:16Right.
26:17Come on.
26:20What are you trying to pull, Tracy?
26:22You can't treat me like a criminal.
26:24I'm a lady.
26:25A lady with a date.
26:26Who are you going to see, Lily?
26:28Nobody.
26:29I told you I had no date.
26:31Well, you have one now.
26:32Let's go.
26:36What were you doing on Hemp Street?
26:38I told you.
26:39I was on my way home.
26:40I stopped for a few minutes to have a cigarette.
26:43I never could do two things at the same time.
26:46Then why were you so startled when you saw me?
26:48Force of habit, I guess.
26:50Every time I see a cop, I want to get out of his way.
26:53Look, Lily, you and I both know what you were doing there.
26:56What's wrong with parking on Hemp Street?
26:58Ordinarily, nothing.
27:00I just wanted to get out of his way.
27:02What were you doing on Hemp Street?
27:04Ordinarily, nothing.
27:06But two people were to meet there tonight about a little matter of hot furs.
27:09Somebody was going to buy them from somebody who had them to sell.
27:12I'm not interested in furs.
27:14I've got all I need.
27:17And anyway, what would I buy them with, that $60 you've got in your hand?
27:26Lily, did you lose anything tonight?
27:29No.
27:30Well, then I'm a rich man.
27:31Look what I found.
27:33$20,000 stuffed under the front seat of her car.
27:36Is it yours, Lily?
27:38Certainly it's mine.
27:39I won it in a poker game tonight.
27:41Mm, some game.
27:43You're barking up the wrong tree, Tracy.
27:45I'm no quitter.
27:46Poker, yes.
27:47The race is sure.
27:48Long shot, Lily, that's me.
27:50Gambling's my dish, not fur robberies.
27:53OK, Lily.
27:54But you'll have to tell me who lost the $20,000.
27:56And also, who was in the game?
27:58I'll tell you that.
27:59Maybe.
28:00On a witness stand.
28:02Well, give Lily a chance on the witness stand.
28:05Book her on suspicion of murder.
28:06Murder?
28:07Oh, you're bluffing, Tracy.
28:09It's not a bluff, Lily.
28:10I watched him was killed during a robbery tonight.
28:12You can't pin a murder rap on me.
28:14Then start talking.
28:15All right, all right, I'll tell you what happened.
28:17Some guy called me tonight and asked me if I'd be interested in some hot furs, dirt sheep.
28:21I said yes.
28:22He said he'd call me back later, so I waited.
28:24And you called him back?
28:25You don't catch me on that one, Tracy.
28:27I don't know the guy, so I don't have his number.
28:29He called me back.
28:30He said to show up at Hemp Street with the dough.
28:33Somebody meet me there.
28:35Somebody did meet me there, all right.
28:37The rest is history.
28:39Who was it called you, Lily?
28:40He didn't take the trouble to introduce himself.
28:42Who was it?
28:43I swear, Tracy, I don't.
28:44Look, Lily, you're in enough trouble without shielding a murderer.
28:46Who was it?
28:47You've got to believe me, Tracy.
28:48You've got to.
28:49The guy was an absolute stranger.
28:50I don't know how he happened to call me, but he did.
28:52I've got a reputation.
28:53I play long shots.
28:54Even you know that.
28:55I take big chances.
28:56People know it.
28:57It gets around.
28:58Lots of guys know about me, but I don't know about them.
29:01That guy could have been anybody.
29:03Anybody.
29:04Believe me, Tracy, I don't know who it was.
29:06I swear I don't.
29:11Turn this over to the property clerk.
29:13Hold her as a material witness.
29:16This way, please.
29:25You know something, Dick?
29:27I don't think she's lying.
29:28Maybe not.
29:29I'll have a sight.
29:30Let's take a look at her.
29:31Anyway, we'll have to find out from him
29:32who was in that back room.
29:51Who's there?
29:52Dick Tracy wants to see you at headquarters.
29:55OK.
29:56Just a minute.
30:06You're not from Tracy.
30:08No.
30:12Just brought back something that belongs to you.
30:16Take them.
30:17They're yours.
30:18They're your trademark, Cyprus.
30:20Thanks.
30:21Thanks.
30:22I found them in the alley, back at the blinking stove.
30:24No, no.
30:25No, I wasn't there.
30:26You had to tell them, didn't you?
30:27No.
30:28You had to stall it.
30:29No, I didn't see them.
30:51Come on.
31:15The first door beyond the stairs.
31:22Cyprus!
31:34He's gone, poor guy.
31:35Just like Hawks.
31:39I didn't see anyone come out as we drove up.
31:41Then there's a chance we've got him trapped in the building.
31:43I'll call headquarters and have the blocks rounded.
31:46You suppose he was making a phone call when we drove up?
31:48Could be.
32:15Come on.
32:45Come on.
32:46Come on.
33:16How do you like that?
33:17He slugged me.
33:18If you weren't my friend, I'd say you had it coming to you.
33:21Why didn't you wait until we had the blocks surrounded?
33:23You know, I was just wondering that myself.
33:25Anyway, I winged him.
33:26And I know now what he used to kill Hawks and Sightless.
33:28I was coming up the stairs.
33:29Tell me about it on the way down.
33:31He has no right hand.
33:32There's an iron hook attached to his forearm,
33:34and that's his weapon.
33:35I saw it, and I felt it.
33:36Maybe you're right.
33:37Come on, I want to show you something.
33:39Look at these scratches.
33:40They're brand new, aren't they?
33:41Say, he uses that hook for everything.
33:43Must have been an important call,
33:44or he would never have stopped to use this phone.
33:46You're right.
33:48As a reward for your good work tonight,
33:50I'm going to give you a nice, safe job
33:52finding out who he was calling.
33:54You mean me?
33:55That's right.
33:56I'll explain at headquarters.
33:58I'll tell you what these scratches give us, Pat.
34:00What's the first thing you do when you dial a telephone number?
34:03Why, I, uh, look for a nickel.
34:05Oh, no, no.
34:06I dial the exchange.
34:07That's right.
34:08You dial the first two letters of the exchange.
34:10Now, these scratches appear only in the first two holes.
34:13I get it, Dick.
34:14The exchange the killer was dialing has got to be here.
34:17Correct.
34:18In checking a list of exchanges,
34:19you'll find there's only one exchange
34:21with a combination of these letters, B-A for banning.
34:24But what about these other two scratches?
34:26That's even simpler.
34:28Since they appear in the first hole,
34:29the killer could only have been dialing the number one twice.
34:32Then we know the number the killer started to dial
34:34is banning one, one, something, something.
34:37Now, all we have to do is find the complete number
34:39and we'll know who the killer was trying to call.
34:41But there's lots of telephone numbers that start that way.
34:43I know.
34:44Dozens, maybe.
34:45Sure.
34:46Maybe even as many as 100.
34:47Mm-hmm.
34:48And that's why I'm giving you the job, Pat,
34:49of finding the exact number.
34:51You mean you want me to call every number starting with B-A-1-1?
34:54Now, look, Dick.
34:55Get to your desk, Pat, and start in.
34:57But, Dick, who do I see is calling,
34:59and who am I supposed to be?
35:00A guy's got to know those things.
35:02I can't just walk into something blind.
35:04Find anything, Donovan?
35:05I think this is it, Mr. Tracy.
35:07Yeah, that looks like the bird, all right.
35:09Mm-hmm.
35:10According to this, he hasn't been around since bootleg days.
35:13Used to be a hijacker.
35:14Coast guard cut around him.
35:16Lost his right hand and crippled his right leg.
35:19Yep, that's him.
35:20Did a stretch in the pen.
35:21Only been out about six months.
35:23Calls himself a lot of things.
35:25But his most popular name is the Claw.
35:27Well, Pat, I guess that's the answer to your question.
35:29Yep.
35:30Shall we send out a patrol?
35:31Well, Pat, I guess that's the answer to your question.
35:33Yep.
35:34Shall we send out a pickup on him?
35:35No, not yet anyway.
35:36The Claw isn't in this alone.
35:38Birds aren't in his line.
35:39He wouldn't know how to dispose of them.
35:40Any idea who the higher-up is?
35:42I'm depending on Pat to tell me that.
35:44You mean you want me to imitate this guy?
35:46Use your deepest barrel, Miss Patton.
35:49Here's your telephone.
35:50Now, I guess you're all set.
35:53This is the Claw speaking.
35:54No, no, no.
35:57This is the...
35:58This is Pat.
35:59Hmm.
36:02This is the Claw speaking.
36:05See that he keeps that pitch, Donovan.
36:06Right.
36:07Now, let me know the minute you get results.
36:08Yes, Dick.
36:09I mean, uh...
36:10Got you, boss.
36:17Hello.
36:18Pat.
36:20Dick, Vitamin's grieving dreadfully.
36:22I feel that you ought to speak to him.
36:24What's the matter with him?
36:25Well, his conscience.
36:26The news about Sightless came over the radio and...
36:28Well, dear, I told him that we all felt bad about it,
36:30but take a look for yourself.
36:39Snap out of it, Vitamin.
36:40It's true you did send Sightless away from the house,
36:42but you don't...
36:43If I hadn't, he'd still be alive.
36:45The solution to your entire dilemma
36:47was on the lips of that peddler,
36:49and I silenced them forever.
36:51Now our needs must atone for me crying.
36:55But, Vitamin, there's nothing you can do now.
36:58Nothing?
36:59There's nothing so difficult to do as...
37:02Nothing?
37:05What is it, Dick?
37:06Vitamin, there is something you can do,
37:08but I don't know whether you...
37:09But to me, no buts, sir.
37:11Put me to the test.
37:14Hello?
37:15This is the Claw speaking.
37:19I quit, wise guy.
37:21What did they say this time?
37:23This is the Claw, eh?
37:24Then go scratch yourself.
37:25Insults.
37:26That's all I get.
37:27A man in my position.
37:28Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh.
37:29I'm sorry, Pat.
37:30You're in my custody.
37:31Orders from the chief.
37:32He just called.
37:33Where was he calling from?
37:34Home in bed?
37:35No, he's on his way to Humphreys.
37:36What do I care where he was on his way to?
37:38Well, that's so you'll know where to report to him
37:40after you've located his man.
37:42Then after him, where he'll be a year from Thursday.
37:45Let's see.
37:46Where was I?
37:50Oh, Tracy.
37:52Good evening, Mr. Humphreys.
37:53I hope it's not too late for a call.
37:55Certainly not.
37:56Come in.
37:57Thank you.
37:58Sit down, Mr. Tracy.
38:01I, uh, suppose if you had any good news,
38:04I wouldn't have to ask you.
38:06That's right.
38:07I had hoped to recover your furs tonight,
38:09but something went wrong.
38:10You mean they're still in the city?
38:12I'm sure of it.
38:13And we hope to get them back to you soon.
38:16Please don't take offense at this, Tracy,
38:18but tell me frankly,
38:19did Premium ask you to come over here and tell me that?
38:22No.
38:23Why should he?
38:24Well, tonight the period of grace for the insurance company
38:28expires, and they have to produce
38:30either the furs or the money.
38:32You think they'll stall on their settlement?
38:34It was just an idea.
38:36What I really wanted to ask you was,
38:38how long has it been since the combination
38:40was changed on your vault?
38:42I don't know.
38:43How long has it been since the combination
38:45was changed on your vault?
38:46The insurance company insisted on it being changed
38:49when they wrote the policy.
38:50Who actually made the change?
38:52I don't know.
38:53Uh, Cud brought a serviceman over with him.
38:56Well, thank you very much, Mr. Humphreys.
38:58Yes, sir.
38:59I hope to have some news for you soon.
39:01OK.
39:03And the same to you, with many unhappy returns.
39:06Dick just called again.
39:07He seems disappointed with you.
39:08I'm not too happy about him either.
39:13Hello?
39:14Hello, this is the Claw speaking.
39:16About time you called.
39:19Hey, hey, he knows me.
39:22What number did you call?
39:23I don't know.
39:24I'll have it traced.
39:25Keep talking.
39:26What do I say?
39:27What do I talk about?
39:28Furs, women, anything.
39:29Furs, women, anything.
39:30Yeah, I'm still on the line, boss.
39:33Well, you see, I couldn't, boss.
39:37I ran into a little trouble.
39:41Donovan, Donovan, he hung up.
39:44What number did you dial?
39:45I don't know.
39:46Well, think, think.
39:47I can't think.
39:48You can't think.
39:49No, no.
39:50Fine, fine, fine.
40:05Oh, hello, Tracy.
40:07Hello, Cud.
40:08Who is it?
40:09I'm Tracy, remember me?
40:11I found your corridor door open, so I walked right in.
40:14Keeping rather unusual business hours, aren't you?
40:16Did you find out anything?
40:17Did you know that somebody changed the combination on Humphrey's vault
40:20shortly before the robbery?
40:22Mm-hmm.
40:23One of the conditions under which we wrote the policy.
40:25It's not unusual.
40:26It should be done periodically anyway.
40:28Do you know the new combination?
40:29I do.
40:30I went with a serviceman that did the job.
40:33Do you know it too, Mr. Premium?
40:35Yes, as a matter of fact, I do.
40:38Say, what are you driving at, Tracy?
40:40Are you suggesting that Cud and I are in on this robbery?
40:42I'm not suggesting anything yet.
40:44But somebody provided the thieves with the combination on that vault.
40:54Shall I take it?
40:55No, I'll answer it.
40:58Hello?
40:59Yes?
41:00Oh, I can't go into that tonight.
41:02Have them call me back tomorrow.
41:04Is that the claw?
41:05Who's the claw?
41:06He's a two-time killer, and he's got Humphrey's furs.
41:09He tried to sell them to a fence, but something went wrong.
41:11Well, if you know who he is, why don't you arrest him?
41:13I don't know where he is.
41:15And as he failed in contacting the fence,
41:17I thought he might call you tonight and offer to sell the furs back
41:20at a big cut under their real value.
41:22Well, we did have such an idea, but we didn't know who had them.
41:24Tonight's our deadline.
41:26And if we don't get the furs back, we'll have to settle with Humphrey's.
41:29An experienced fur thief would know that.
41:32The claw has no experience with furs.
41:35But the man behind him has.
41:45Pat!
41:46Pat, what in the world happened to you?
41:49I've got it, Dick. I've got it.
41:50You've got what?
41:51The man higher up.
41:52Banning 1126.
41:53Well, who is it?
41:54Humphrey's.
41:55Well, how do you like that?
41:57The guy figures to collect $100,000 on his policy and still have his furs.
42:01Are you sure of this, Tracy?
42:02I'm sure.
42:03And I've got a crooked finger to prove it.
42:05It adds up, Cud.
42:07Humphrey's is counting on you buying back the furs tonight.
42:09Sure.
42:10He gets his furs back in the morning.
42:12Plus his cut of the dough we pay to get him back.
42:14And, Tracy, why don't you do something?
42:15Why don't you lock him up?
42:16No, let me get my hands on him.
42:18By locking him up now, you risk losing your furs.
42:21And we might never catch the killer.
42:23But Humphrey's can tell us where the furs are hidden.
42:25Don't you think he'll deny his connection with the crime?
42:27That means a trial.
42:29Giving the killer more time than ever to skip town with the furs.
42:32That sounds reasonable.
42:33Well, then what do we do?
42:34You and I are going to stick right here.
42:36I'm more certain than ever now that the killer will give you a call tonight.
42:40You and Pat pay Humphrey's a friendly little call.
42:42Right.
42:43I think I'm going to enjoy this.
42:46You know, Tracy, I got to admit it.
42:49I'm kind of glad you dropped in here tonight.
43:02Hello?
43:18Is he back there?
43:20I'll see.
43:21No, he ain't in.
43:32That's funny.
43:34You're supposed to make a very important call for me tonight.
43:45Dwight Cutt.
43:46I didn't expect to see you here tonight.
43:48Any news about the furs?
43:49Plenty.
43:50Oh, Humphrey's.
43:51One of the first rules of our company is to always keep our clients covered.
43:55I don't know what you mean.
43:56Step inside.
43:57Just a minute.
44:21He's not here.
44:22He's got to be here somewhere.
44:31Hey, he's here.
44:33He's drunk.
44:34Let me see.
44:36He's not drunk.
44:37He's been hurt.
44:41Well, looks like he added another tattoo mark to his collection.
44:44Is he dead?
44:46Just about.
44:49Hey.
44:51He looked to me like he had time to call the insurance company.
44:54Maybe we ought to help him.
44:56I've had some experience knifing out bullets.
44:58But why waste the time?
45:00Look, we're the perfect setup here.
45:02There'll be twice as much dough on it for us if we call the insurance company.
45:05Just you and me.
45:07Yeah, but what's going to happen when he finds out we double-crossed him?
45:09By that time, we'll be seeing the world.
45:11Come on.
45:19That guy and his cats will...
45:29Maybe your hunch was wrong, Tracy.
45:31There could have been a flip-up somewhere.
45:38Hello?
45:39Is this the Honesty Insurance Company?
45:41Yes.
45:42Now, who am I speaking to?
45:43Peter Premium.
45:44Who's this?
45:45Never mind who this is.
45:47Look, how'd you like to get them Humphrey Force back tonight, huh?
45:51All right, listen carefully.
45:53$50,000 back in the blanket skull in half an hour.
45:56Come by yourself.
45:57$50,000.
46:00Back of the blinking skull.
46:01And I'm warning you.
46:03No cops.
46:04I understand.
46:07No cops.
46:09What do you know about that?
46:10Back of the blinking skull.
46:12Are you going, Tracy?
46:14Alone?
46:16You heard what the man said.
46:17No cops.
46:19Good luck.
46:21Buy a pencil from a poor blind man.
46:25Buy a pencil from a poor blind man.
46:28Buy a pencil from...
46:30Prepare a random shekel for a myopic mendicant.
46:35Peasant.
46:39Ye gods, tis now the very witching time of night.
46:44But not a suspicious character in sight.
46:47Methinks I have failed, Dick Tracy.
46:53Hey, Sam.
46:54What's the matter?
46:55Look.
46:56What?
46:57Sightless.
47:01What's the matter with you?
47:02You believe in ghosts?
47:03Come on.
47:04Yeah, but...
47:05I said come on.
47:06Hey.
47:07Buy a pencil from a poor blind man.
47:14Expecting someone to show in about 15 minutes.
47:16Let him in.
47:17And no one else.
47:18Okay, Sam.
47:38My most profound apologies.
47:41On your way, brother.
47:42We gotta draw the line somewhere.
47:43There's no moochers.
47:44That epithet is applicable only to him
47:47who is afflicted with impecuniosity.
47:50Come again?
47:51Come again.
47:52I haven't left.
47:54There, keeper of the hooch.
47:56Okay, name it.
47:57Fetch me something savory and salubrious.
48:00Concocted perhaps from citrus
48:02grown in the gardens of Grenada.
48:05Chilled by the snows of San Marita.
48:08Served in a chalice by Cellini.
48:11Sorry, Bob.
48:12We ain't got it.
48:13In language comporting with your intelligence.
48:16Lemonade.
48:18Lemonade?
48:20Dear me.
48:21Doesn't anyone understand English anymore?
48:27We can have nothing now.
48:57Come on.
49:19Smile, kid.
49:20Smile.
49:21Another few minutes,
49:22and that, to me, is gonna be 50 grand, Richie.
49:53Somebody winged you, huh?
49:56Just a scratch.
50:04Had me out cold for a while, though.
50:07I, uh...
50:08I think you ought to let Jiggy take a look at that.
50:11He's pretty good with that things.
50:13I'll be all right.
50:16I think you ought to take him to see Jiggy.
50:19Okay.
50:21I gotta stick around.
50:23You can't go around like that.
50:27I've done it before.
50:28I think Sam is right.
50:29You ought to have that looked after.
50:34You guys sound like you're trying to get rid of me.
50:37Oh, no.
50:38No, you're wrong.
50:43You sure act like maybe a black cat ran across your pants.
50:55You're wrong about me, Sam.
50:57I can't do this.
50:58I had nothing to do with it.
50:59Get me out of here.
51:00I had nothing to do with it.
51:02No, no, no!
51:21No, Claw!
51:22No!
51:23I didn't want to hurt you!
51:25No!
51:46No tricks.
51:51Yes?
51:52Yes?
51:53Boss, this is the Claw.
51:57I just wanted to tell you.
51:59Somebody from the insurance company is on his way down.
52:02I'll take him to the junkyard on Primrose Street.
52:05We'll have our dough in a few minutes.
52:08And, uh, boss, uh, we'll only have to split it two ways.
52:17Fine, Claw.
52:18Fine.
52:20What's the matter?
52:21Anything wrong?
52:22No.
52:25Everything's swell, Claw.
52:29Everything's swell.
52:31It's a frame-up!
52:33I'll wait for this.
52:51OK, Jigger, you lead the way.
53:15Lead the way where?
53:16Hey, you cops can't shove me around.
53:18I run a respectable joint.
53:19Talk that over in the back room.
53:20Get going.
53:33Let me out of here!
53:35Let me out of here!
53:40Oh, Dick Tracy.
53:41I'll be right with you, Vitaman.
53:51OK, Jigger, where'd he go?
53:52I don't know, Tracy.
53:53I know.
53:54I heard everything.
53:55Uh, the furs are in the junkyard on, on, uh...
53:57Not Black Street.
53:58Uh, no.
53:59On, uh, Primrose Street.
54:00Vitaman, I'll make you police commissioner for this.
54:02Call headquarters and have them send a squad car.
54:04Aye, aye, sir.
54:06Hey, these pipes are hot, Tracy.
54:08You better get used to the heat, Jigger.

58:30I couldn't get that police commissioner's job for you, Vitamin.
58:32No.
58:33That spilled for a while.
58:34This is to show our appreciation.
58:36Haven't you anything to say, Vitamin?
58:38For the first time in my life, I'm speechless.
58:41You know, I think we should give you a badge more often.
58:44Oh, uh, fortunately, I happen to have a little speech of acceptance with me.
58:51My dear friend, cannons to right of the moon.
58:54Vitamin, I have a table reserved for us at a nearby restaurant.
58:56Suppose you say that speech until then.
58:58I'll take how nice dancing.
58:59Why not?
59:00Tracy, I'm glad you're still here.
59:01I just got a report on Hatchet Harry.
59:03What about him?
59:04One of our men spotted him in the freight yard.
59:06Sorry, Tess.
59:07Come on, Pat.
59:09Oh, Vitamin, you won't mind taking Tess to dinner for me, will you?
59:12Don't you need me?
59:13I think we can manage.
59:17Sometimes I wish I'd been born a super criminal.
59:19Why, my dear?
59:21Because then I might get to see something of Mr. Dick Tracy.
59:25Oh.
59:26Oh.
59:27Ha, ha, ha.
