00:01:20Hey, you, come on. I've seen that sleeping act before.
00:01:23You know your ticket ran out at the last stop.
00:01:26How much to San Francisco?
00:01:28$2.25.
00:01:55Β© BF-WATCH TV 2021
00:02:26Yes, three days.
00:02:31So it's three days she's gone.
00:02:33Where do you get off keeping it from the police 72 hours?
00:02:36I didn't want her to get around, Mr. Johnson, that's all.
00:02:40People talk.
00:02:42Stella's a good girl, really she is.
00:02:44I don't want them to talk.
00:02:46Well, we'll find what took her.
00:02:48Why not give it a morning, Johnson?
00:02:50Stella's your aunt.
00:02:52Stella's your aunt.
00:02:54Okay, till morning.
00:02:56You ought to know, Mr. Judd.
00:02:58Good night.
00:03:00Hi, Johnson.
00:03:01Good night.
00:03:02Way down this week, Pop.
00:03:04Nobody plays it with Stella not around.
00:03:06Yeah, I guess not.
00:03:08You don't think she might have done something to herself?
00:03:11Not Stella.
00:03:13Back in New York, I handled 31 suicide cases, personal.
00:03:17Everything from poison to jumping in front of the Flatbush subway.
00:03:21Stella's not the type.
00:03:24Here's your receipt.
00:03:25Thanks, Uncle.
00:03:26I'll be singing.
00:03:29Cup of coffee, please.
00:03:31It's after 10, we're closed up.
00:03:33And a hamburger, well done, with onions, mustard, relish.
00:03:36What else you want on that hamburger? The whole state of California?
00:03:39What's the population?
00:03:41I'll fix you something.
00:03:52Cigarette?
00:03:54No, thanks.
00:03:55Never touch them.
00:03:57Thank you.
00:04:20I knew you'd be back.
00:04:24Okay.
00:04:27Well, here you are, young man.
00:04:31Stella.
00:04:33You...
00:04:36You're okay.
00:04:38I'm hungry.
00:04:40Right away, Stella, right away.
00:04:43You don't know what it's been like since you went.
00:04:46You won't go away, Stella, will you, again?
00:04:48Well, you are.
00:04:50Drew's waiting for you.
00:04:52Afraid him not to touch a thing.
00:04:54You wanted it like that, didn't you, Stella?
00:04:56And to come back to your job here,
00:04:59everything just like it was, as if you'd never been away?
00:05:03That's just how it'll be.
00:05:06After a long rest,
00:05:09you sure look run out.
00:05:11So what?
00:05:13One look at him, and I knew he wasn't any good, I knew...
00:05:16You make me sick.
00:05:19He's finished his coffee, go on.
00:05:22That was the best hamburger I never ate.
00:05:24Sorry, come back later.
00:05:26I mean tomorrow. I'm closing up.
00:05:28How much?
00:05:30It's okay.
00:05:31It's not okay.
00:05:33He got his coffee, let him pay for it.
00:05:35Five cents.
00:05:54Five cents.
00:06:21Good evening.
00:06:23Professor Madley, please.
00:06:24Professor Madley? Oh, he won't be here till tomorrow.
00:06:28Maybe Mr. Ellis could help you.
00:06:32Ellis?
00:06:33The professor's assistant. He registered this morning.
00:06:36Oh, Ellis. Oh, yes. What's his room number?
00:06:43It's 216, but he's not in just now.
00:06:46Of course, he's getting tuned.
00:06:49Tuned?
00:06:50In another world. He always does that before the professor comes in.
00:06:53Is that so?
00:06:55Oh, sure. Well, I'll wait for Ellis up in his room.
00:06:57But that's against the rules.
00:06:59Don't worry, it's all right.
00:07:21Oh.
00:07:23Mr. Ellis, I presume.
00:07:25Yes.
00:07:28My name is Stanton.
00:07:30Eric Stanton.
00:07:32Never heard of you.
00:07:34Professor Madley's an old friend of mine.
00:07:36When was that?
00:07:37Good old days.
00:07:38How old?
00:07:39Old enough to be good.
00:07:41Oh.
00:07:42Drink?
00:07:43My favorite brand.
00:07:45Oh.
00:07:46Drink?
00:07:47My favorite brand.
00:07:49Ought to be. I got it out of your bureau drawer.
00:07:53Huh.
00:07:54Helped yourself to everything in here, as long as you're a friend of the professor's.
00:07:58From my cradle days.
00:08:00Then you'll do the professor a favor.
00:08:01Lend and lease him $30.
00:08:03$30?
00:08:04Do him half a favor. $15.
00:08:08What's so funny? Tell me. I'd like to laugh, too.
00:08:11I came up to put the bite on you.
00:08:13Now let's hear how you laugh.
00:08:16I can't sleep here.
00:08:17Wait a minute.
00:08:18Consult the spirit of my friend the professor.
00:08:20What's he say?
00:08:21I know what the manager says.
00:08:22One more guest, one more dollar.
00:08:24I haven't got enough to pay my own bill.
00:08:26Then the extra dollar wouldn't matter.
00:08:28Don't take your shoes off.
00:08:29I'm enough to aggravate me.
00:08:32Don't worry.
00:08:34I'll get you out of it.
00:08:36What with? You're broke.
00:08:38I've got to have $15 by noon tomorrow.
00:08:40Or lose the hall downstairs in my deposit.
00:08:43Besides being kicked out of here and my luggage held.
00:08:45What about the professor's spooks?
00:08:47Don't they generally come through with an advance sale?
00:08:50Sure, when there's nobody to stop them.
00:08:52But there's a certain woman in this town who doesn't believe in spooks.
00:08:55What she says goes for the rest of the women.
00:08:57She's not only the daughter of the former mayor,
00:08:59who donated a new organ to the church,
00:09:02but the president of the ladies' auxiliary.
00:09:04Gain such a combination, not even I could sell one ticket.
00:09:08Go charm her.
00:09:10Miss Mills will have no truck with me, not even on the phone.
00:09:14Well, let's sleep on it.
00:09:15I said no.
00:09:17We're in this thing together.
00:09:18Naturally, I'll sleep here.
00:09:20Stands to reason.
00:09:21What stands to reason?
00:09:23You're in trouble, man.
00:09:25I've got to pull you out of it.
00:09:27You got any toothpaste?
00:09:28In the bathroom.
00:09:31Hope you like my brand.
00:09:44Good morning.
00:09:49Here, mistress, please.
00:09:51Who?
00:09:52Miss Clara Mills.
00:09:54I'm Clara Mills, and we're not buying anything either.
00:09:57Miss Mills, I'm here to speak on behalf of the dead.
00:09:59Who?
00:10:00Walton's respected deceased.
00:10:01They're having a rendezvous tonight at the Walton Hotel at 8 o'clock.
00:10:04There's nothing to discuss.
00:10:05I told you that over the phone.
00:10:06Now, please don't call again, Mr. Ellis.
00:10:08Well, I'm not Mr. Ellis,
00:10:09and I'm not a part of the spook act down at the hotel.
00:10:11I'm Eric Stanton.
00:10:12Now, would you listen to me for a minute?
00:10:14Well, out with it. I'm busy.
00:10:16So is Professor Madley.
00:10:17Appointments with the dead from coast to coast.
00:10:19Yet this soul of generosity finds time to drop in on Walton
00:10:22to deliver a message of hope.
00:10:24For money.
00:10:25He's a charlatan, a fraud.
00:10:27Not the Professor Madley.
00:10:28Pretending to commune with the dead.
00:10:30Now, look.
00:10:32He and Ellis are just a couple of struggling artists
00:10:34trying to make a living like fortune tellers or a vaudeville team.
00:10:38I won't let the poor, gullible people of Walton be fooled.
00:10:41If my father were alive,
00:10:42these fakers would never have gotten a license.
00:10:44Your father?
00:10:45Yes. Abraham Mills was a real mayor.
00:10:47He wouldn't have stood by
00:10:48and let frauds take advantage of honest people.
00:10:50Now, wait a minute.
00:10:51What if Mayor Mills would like to make another speech
00:10:53or tell you something?
00:10:54Suppose he's depending on...
00:10:55Suppose you leave right now.
00:10:57Suppose I do.
00:11:01Now, don't forget.
00:11:03The curtain goes up tonight at 8 o'clock.
00:11:12Birds of a feather.
00:11:14They won't hatch anything here.
00:11:17Trading on people's sacred feelings.
00:11:23Everything that's dear held up to ridicule
00:11:25by frauds in a trance, wrapping on a table.
00:11:29We won't have any of the cheap, vulgar tricks of spiritualism here.
00:11:35You think I'm wrong?
00:11:37I think he's right.
00:11:39But how can he be?
00:11:41June, don't be taken in by his glib manner.
00:11:43He meant it.
00:11:44Just two people trying to make a living.
00:11:46Why can't they make an honest living?
00:11:48Are we to judge?
00:11:51Well, it's too late now.
00:11:53There's nothing we can do about it.
00:11:55Yes, there is.
00:11:56Well, we can buy two tickets
00:11:58if we go, everybody else will.
00:12:00Shall I call the hotel?
00:12:03I'll think about it.
00:12:06We thank Thee, O Lord, for our daily bread
00:12:08and for our many blessings.
00:12:10Amen.
00:12:25Donut?
00:12:27No, thanks.
00:12:32Like to make a few extra dollars?
00:12:34How?
00:12:35Push these tickets with your customers.
00:12:37Give you 20% of all your sales.
00:12:39Sure, what are they for?
00:12:41That spook meeting tonight,
00:12:43featuring the one and only Professor Madley.
00:12:45No.
00:12:46Why not?
00:12:47If the ladies' auxiliary don't want him, I don't want him.
00:12:49Don't worry about the women.
00:12:51They wouldn't miss hearing Abraham Mills.
00:12:52Mills?
00:12:53The professor's bringing him back with a message.
00:12:56I don't believe in it.
00:12:57What's the difference?
00:12:58You can still make yourself some money.
00:13:00No, I don't want to get mixed up in anything.
00:13:05Coffee, please.
00:13:06Right away.
00:13:11Here he is, Professor.
00:13:12Your old friend, Eric Stanton.
00:13:15Old friend?
00:13:16Don't recall.
00:13:17Oh, Buffaloes, connected.
00:13:19Sorry, I still can't remember.
00:13:20You see...
00:13:21Relax, Professor.
00:13:22We've never met before.
00:13:24Last night in my room, you said.
00:13:26And you never met?
00:13:28Glad to meet you now, Professor.
00:13:29Delighted, Mr. Stanton.
00:13:31Well, all the signs point to a prosperous association.
00:13:34Dollar signs.
00:13:35I've sold a batch of tickets already.
00:13:37A couple of beers, please.
00:13:38Okay, coming up.
00:13:40I heard from my assistant here that you really work wonders.
00:13:42Congratulations on your success, my boy.
00:13:45We'll have sell-out after sell-out.
00:13:47Oh, okay.
00:13:49You know, I never believed that you could talk Miss Mills into buying tickets.
00:13:53I just had a call from her sister to reserve a couple.
00:13:55They're coming over to get a message from their old man.
00:13:57Right, Professor?
00:13:59Ah, yes.
00:14:00I had a visitation from him on U.S. Route 101.
00:14:02He definitely arrives tonight.
00:14:04What do you say, Pop?
00:14:05Now do you believe it?
00:14:07He definitely arrives tonight, sir.
00:14:11He better arrive tonight.
00:14:12He's your main attraction.
00:14:14Uh, dig up the vital facts, Ellis.
00:14:17Who is Mills and what does he want to come back for?
00:14:19Okay, see you later.
00:14:20Wait a minute, leave me one of these.
00:14:22Oh, Pop.
00:14:24Let me hang this up in here and I'll give you a couple of tickets to the best show in town.
00:14:28All right, go ahead.
00:14:30There you are.
00:14:31Eric, my boy, you got a great calling.
00:14:33Spook promotion.
00:14:34You like to back that up with a fin?
00:14:36Well, gladly.
00:14:38Hope to see you in my room later.
00:14:40I have a fine collection of friendly spirits there.
00:14:42Scotch ancestry.
00:14:45There you are, Stella.
00:14:49Thank you.
00:14:55Have you any idea what the deceased Mr. Mills is going to say at the sΓ©ance tonight?
00:15:00Why?
00:15:03I don't know.
00:15:04I don't know.
00:15:05I don't know.
00:15:06I don't know.
00:15:07I don't know.
00:15:08I don't know.
00:15:09I don't know.
00:15:10I don't know.
00:15:11I don't know.
00:15:12I don't know.
00:15:14They've brought a great deal of them around here.
00:15:16You want to be careful.
00:15:19Thanks.
00:15:43Slowly I open my eyes
00:15:49Hazy with my...
00:15:55Slowly my lips realize
00:16:01They had just been kissed
00:16:07Slowly...
00:16:08A beer, please.
00:16:09...swerved in my arms
00:16:13Relaying my soul
00:16:17Is that the only record in that box?
00:16:19I like it.
00:16:21He knows what you like.
00:16:23That's for his wife to worry about.
00:16:27What does he do?
00:16:29He's from New York.
00:16:31Oh, yeah.
00:16:33He came out here to stay to get his health back.
00:16:35to stay to get his health back.
00:16:39How'd he lose it?
00:16:40Working too hard, I guess.
00:16:44He used to be a big man back there on the police force.
00:16:48You like to come to the show?
00:16:52You asking me?
00:16:59Here.
00:17:01Never mind.
00:17:03What's the matter?
00:17:04I don't go places alone.
00:17:07OK.
00:17:11Here.
00:17:12Is that four beers?
00:17:14Three beers and a cup of coffee.
00:17:16Three beers and a cup of coffee.
00:17:44You have just heard the spirits of citizens
00:17:46of Walton who have gone on before us
00:17:48and have returned tonight through me,
00:17:50returned to tell you how happy they
00:17:52are in their eternal reward.
00:17:54And now, my good friends of Walton,
00:17:56we have come to our last and most difficult experiment
00:17:59for which I must have your undivided attention
00:18:01and your sincere concentration.
00:18:05I feel a strange vibration coming over me,
00:18:08the vibration of a spirit who has remained troubled,
00:18:11who has found no peace or contentment since he departed.
00:18:16Abraham Mills.
00:18:19I can feel his troubled spirit trying
00:18:21to get through from beyond.
00:18:24Yes, Abraham Mills.
00:18:29I can hear you.
00:18:30Would you mind moving over?
00:18:31Yes, Abraham Mills.
00:18:36Like it?
00:18:37Yes, very much.
00:18:39You're troubled because your daughter, Clara,
00:18:42has lost practically everything you left her.
00:18:45The bonds, the orange groves.
00:18:48You can't understand how she could have trusted that man.
00:18:52That man.
00:18:54John Martin.
00:18:55John Martin.
00:18:56John Martin, who came here after you passed down
00:19:00and talked her into selling everything.
00:19:03Why didn't she ask the police for help
00:19:06when he ran away with the money?
00:19:08Come, Clara.
00:19:09You will find peace only when you
00:19:12will guard the last of the inheritance
00:19:14for herself and her younger sister, $25,000 in stocks.
00:19:19I'm sorry.
00:19:20I shouldn't have made you come.
00:19:34Gee, that was awful mysterious, how he knew everything.
00:19:39Say, can I ask you a favor?
00:19:42Sure, what?
00:19:43Well, you know the professor, don't you?
00:19:45Sure I do.
00:19:46I'd love to have my fortune told.
00:19:47Do you think he'd do it if you ask him?
00:19:49I can tell it better myself.
00:19:51Where are we going?
00:19:52Your horoscope's up there.
00:19:55I'd like a drink.
00:19:57OK, you're on.
00:19:58Where do we go?
00:19:59I know the place.
00:20:12I like the way you talk.
00:20:16I like the way you dance.
00:20:26Yes, sir, two burgers.
00:20:28Who ordered them?
00:20:29You want them?
00:20:31OK.
00:20:34Thanks.
00:20:36You said you'd tell my fortune.
00:20:40Well, you don't belong in a one-armed joint.
00:20:44No?
00:20:45I've got like you.
00:20:46You've got style, beautiful style.
00:20:48You inherited that.
00:20:50Your father was a leading citizen, rich.
00:20:54He trusted people too much.
00:20:56And?
00:20:57Your mother, her line seems to have run out.
00:21:01Don't scare me.
00:21:02She runs a boarding house in San Diego.
00:21:04And my old man came from a long line of drunks.
00:21:08Anyway, there's a man in your life.
00:21:10You just met him.
00:21:11Tomorrow he's going to San Francisco.
00:21:13And you're going to lie awake at night, unable to forget.
00:21:18And what can I do about it?
00:21:21And what can I do about it?
00:21:51Oh, yeah.
00:22:21Listen to that.
00:22:46The sound of far off places.
00:22:51the ocean. I like the way you talk.
00:23:09No that's OK for kids but not for me not anymore.
00:23:14Where are you from. Why did I get. OK don't tell me.
00:23:23I'm from New York. Now you know. What do you do when you don't tell.
00:23:30I help make them for others. I passed actresses directors producers through
00:23:36a publicity mill I ran they came out famous their names in all the papers you know
00:23:41people like that I know all people in all places like twenty one the stock that's
00:23:47where you belong mother didn't mean I can see you and do you see me with
00:23:51a ring on my finger somebody to give me
00:23:54a home. Now look. Last night I made up my mind that's
00:24:02the way I want. He didn't see it that way so I walked home at night miles before I
00:24:09got a ride. It's plenty tired when I got into you saw me but when I make up my
00:24:16mind to get about last.

00:24:29girl.

00:30:46the difference as long as I get it how are you going to murder somebody you're going
00:30:50to steal it well I don't know you know one thing we're going to get married once
00:30:57I get the cash maybe you'll get me in trouble I don't want to get
00:31:04in trouble you know we all get it I'm not even telling you how you just sit tight
00:31:11and wait for me that's
00:31:13a deal you'll keep. Maybe I will.
00:32:43Very good performance Miss Mills. Please go on. Beethoven never sounded so good before.
00:32:48I wasn't playing Beethoven. No? Oh I'm sure it was Brahms. The old boys do sound
00:32:53alike don't they? I mean in spots. What spots? You know, the way they begin, the way they end,
00:32:59sometimes in the middle like the piece you were just playing Brahms. It wasn't
00:33:02anything I was just improvising. Brahms didn't write that you weren't in one
00:33:06better. That was beautiful. Classical, it was inspiring. You know you belong in
00:33:12Carnegie Hall. Now look, you can't stay angry at me forever, not two full days.
00:33:18Wait a minute. What about living up to the place we're in and the music you play
00:33:23here? So when a guy comes around and says he's sorry, the least you can do is
00:33:27forgive him. All right, I forgive you. Friends? I hardly knew you. Well don't worry about that.
00:33:36We'll fix it right away. You know it's a good thing word didn't come through from
00:33:39New York this morning. Gives me a chance to stay over another day, square things
00:33:43with you and your sister. Tell me, what is there to do in a town like this to make
00:33:48time pass till tomorrow? That's up to you isn't it? What do you do? Oh there's plenty to
00:33:54occupy your time here. The movies, dancing, the beach isn't far. They'll tell you at
00:34:02the hotel. You still think I tried to hurt your sister? I didn't mean to really.
00:34:06I only meant to help the professor, but that's happened to me before. I try to help
00:34:10somebody, somebody else gets hurt. That's the way it's been all my life. Of course,
00:34:15you live by impulse and you never bother to think if you're following the right
00:34:20impulse or the wrong one. I see you don't stop at music, you read too. Don't you?
00:34:25Me? I haven't opened a book since I left school. They're phony. So are some people.
00:34:30At least they're alive. So are books. Yeah, you come to a part you don't like, you can
00:34:35turn the page, but try it on people. Or try it on life. I'll tell you something about
00:34:40yourself, Miss Mills. You're scared to live. That's why you bury yourself in books and music.
00:34:45I think you ought to respect my ways as I respect yours. Only I live and you don't.
00:34:51All the things you look down on are the things that make up life. What things?
00:34:55Little things like a game of bowling or a swim at night or...
00:34:59Or a dance, a kiss, stuff that bubbles. But you never had a drink. That doesn't mean anything.
00:35:11Not by itself it doesn't, but you add up all the little things, that's what makes up life.
00:35:15Maybe you're the one that's scared, not I. How come? Well, you don't know what you want,
00:35:22that's why you're scared. That's why you keep running after every little thing.
00:35:26You know, that's quite a mind you have there, Miss Mills. You mean for a girl in a small town?
00:35:31Must be the books, huh? Must be. You know, if you didn't know me so well, I might ask you
00:35:38something. You'd probably say no though. Probably. So there's really no use in asking, is there?
00:35:43Well, why don't you ask me anyway? Will you have dinner with me tonight?
00:35:47Well, I don't think I can. You see? You're afraid to step out of your tower.
00:35:54No, no, no. That isn't it. You're a sister?
00:35:57Of course not. Then what are you afraid of?
00:36:00I'm not afraid. Why should I be? Yeah, why should you be? I'll pick you up at 7.
00:36:05At 7?
00:36:06Don't you ever see anything through to the end?
00:36:24When it's worth it. Well, now we've had a dinner that you didn't
00:36:29like and saw a movie you didn't like. What's next?
00:36:31Dancing. All right.
00:36:35Let's not miss any of the little things that make up your happy life.
00:36:37Well, here's to your first scotch. How do you like it?
00:36:49Tastes like soap. If this is what all your little things add up to, I don't think it's
00:36:58very much. Did you learn how to play Beethoven in one
00:37:01night? No. Then don't expect to learn how to play
00:37:03at this in one night. But I don't think you enjoy it either.
00:37:07Because you don't. But I want to. That's why I came. Frankly, why
00:37:12did you ask me? No special reason. You happen to interest me.
00:37:17In what way? I can't define it. Maybe it's your charm. Maybe
00:37:22it's your talent. Ever think of a career? Maybe.
00:37:27And? No. No, I know my limitations.
00:37:31One shouldn't set a limit on what one can do. Mr. Stanton, that sounds as if it came
00:37:37out of a book, and not a very good one. There goes that mind again.
00:37:42Shall we turn the page and dance? No, it's been an awfully long time.
00:37:46I'll lead you.
00:37:48You're doing fine. Thank you.
00:38:12Hey, ditch him and I'll meet you afterward. I don't cheat on a date.
00:38:18There's still one more, little thing. But don't worry, I'm not going to kiss you good
00:38:41night and make you unhappy. Unhappy?
00:38:46Don't you take too much for granted? No. One kiss goes a long way with you.
00:38:50You need a guy who'll take it the same way, who'll give you a marriage with all the
00:38:54trimmings, home and kids, who'll walk to church with you every Sunday, listen to your
00:38:58play, save all your good nights for him. What makes you think I wanted you to kiss
00:39:03me? Didn't you?
00:39:15She ought to have helped this morning, huh? Can't her.
00:39:27She always come in this late? Sometimes. Why, you wouldn't know.
00:39:32I just thought maybe she'd skipped out on you again.
00:39:36No, she won't do it. She promised me she won't.
00:39:40Stella! Morning, Stella. Good morning.
00:39:50I sure could use some coffee. I got something special for you.
00:39:56I waited for you last night until after three. That's nice.
00:40:03How are you? Around.
00:40:07With that guy? Oh, leave me alone, will you? It's too early.
00:40:11Here you are. Thanks.
00:40:14When did you get the watch? Like it?
00:40:18Get me some hash, good and brown. I said some hash.
00:40:27You get this last night? Wait till we're married and then ask me.
00:40:33Till then, I don't have to tell you a thing. We're as good as married.
00:40:39You're dropping out of circulation from now on. When you go out, it'll only be with me.
00:40:45You've got a steady date with Miss Mills. I'm only doing that for you.
00:40:51Thought it good I'm getting out of it. You will in a couple of days.
00:40:55Okay, a couple of days, but that don't mean forever.
00:40:59Morning, Mr. Judd.
00:41:05Good morning, Stella.
00:41:09Hello. With my compliments.
00:41:13Thank you. Thank you.
00:41:16I'm leaving tomorrow and I wanted to say good-bye.
00:41:20Good-bye.
00:41:22Good-bye.
00:41:24Good-bye.
00:41:26Good-bye.
00:41:28Good-bye.
00:41:30Good-bye.
00:41:32Good-bye.
00:41:34Good-bye.
00:41:36Thank you.
00:41:38I'm leaving tomorrow and I wanted to say good-bye.
00:41:41Good-bye, Mr. Stanton.
00:41:44We were just going to pick up a few things. Can we take you anywhere?
00:41:48Anywhere you say.
00:41:51Can three of us get in there? I think so. You go ahead.
00:41:55Thank you.
00:41:58Nice town. Hate to leave it.
00:42:02Expect to go far?
00:42:04Maybe. Maybe I'll be back.
00:42:08And maybe I won't. It depends.
00:42:12On what?
00:42:14On what there is to come back to.
00:42:17I'll be just a minute.
00:42:21What would you come back for, Mr. Stanton?
00:42:23June.
00:42:25I gathered as much. Let's be frank, shall we?
00:42:28My cards are on the table, Miss Mills.
00:42:30I want you to leave June alone.
00:42:32We don't know who you are or where you come from.
00:42:34What do you do?
00:42:36Nothing.
00:42:38That's frank at least.
00:42:40And I'm sure you'll be interested to know I have no bank account either.
00:42:43I thought so.
00:42:45You're a handyman.
00:42:47Your hand is showing, Miss Mills.
00:42:49You've got a trump card, money.
00:42:51And because I haven't...
00:42:52That isn't true.
00:42:53It has nothing to do with money.
00:42:55June has quite enough for herself, even without my share.
00:42:58Your share?
00:42:59Yes, she'll get that too.
00:43:01I want her to be happy. That's all I care about.
00:43:03It's all hers, whatever I have.
00:43:06In San Francisco, Mr. Stanton, where no one can touch it.
00:43:11Not until she meets the right man.
00:43:14Not until she meets the right man.
00:43:17Well, maybe I'm not the right man after all.
00:43:20And you won't see her again?
00:43:23Suppose we leave that up to the one concerned.
00:43:26Thank you.
00:43:44There you are.
00:43:45Thank you.
00:43:50Wonderful.
00:43:51Just wonderful.
00:43:53You've accomplished nothing else.
00:43:54At least I made you like one of the little things I like.
00:43:58I have my little secrets too.
00:44:01Bet you think all I do is read big heavy books, don't you?
00:44:05Well, I don't.
00:44:07For years I've been saving ads out of magazines.
00:44:10Sometimes I...
00:44:12I feel like I'm the girl in the ads.
00:44:15Softly alluring, full of grace.
00:44:18Gown by Schiaparelli.
00:44:20If I had money, I'd dress you like the ads.
00:44:22I'd take you to New York, at least to San Francisco.
00:44:25You'd have that Schiaparelli gown.
00:44:28It isn't that important.
00:44:30It would be when I took you to the nightclubs, the theater, the concerts.
00:44:34Did you ever hear the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra?
00:44:37On the radio.
00:44:38What do you hear on the radio?
00:44:40A lot of noise.
00:44:41But when you see them up on the stage,
00:44:43all dressed up with their fiddles and their horns,
00:44:46people right up to their roof,
00:44:4710,000 of them waiting for the music to begin.
00:44:49That's a concert.
00:44:50Usually when Toscanini conducts, like he's going to tomorrow afternoon.
00:44:53Toscanini?
00:44:55Yeah.
00:44:56And you know what?
00:44:58After the concert, I'll get him to listen to you play.
00:45:00See who's right about your talent, you or me.
00:45:02You know Arturo Toscanini?
00:45:04I'll make it my business to meet him.
00:45:05For you, we can leave for San Francisco in the morning,
00:45:08make it in plenty of time.
00:45:09All right?
00:45:10Yeah.
00:45:12Your sister?
00:45:14Yes.
00:45:16You gonna do everything she says?
00:45:19No, but I...
00:45:20Well, I guess after tonight, it's goodbye.
00:45:24I guess it is.
00:45:26Anyway, there are a few things to remember.
00:45:33It could have been wonderful.
00:45:39If I were another guy, the right guy,
00:45:42it could have gone on like this, night after night.
00:45:45Just the two of us.
00:45:47Fire, hot dogs, wine, martinis.
00:45:52Wonderful martinis.
00:45:54Could have been a dream.
00:45:57A beautiful dream.
00:45:58You and I together.
00:46:00New York and San Francisco.
00:46:02Mm-hmm.
00:46:03Getting you all those things in the ads.
00:46:06Going everywhere together.
00:46:08To the concerts, to hear the famous people play.
00:46:11Becoming famous yourself.
00:46:14Great career.
00:46:16Miss June Mills, the finest talent of them all.
00:46:19Woman of the Year.
00:46:46Thank you.
00:47:17Who is it?
00:47:18Eric, I've got to see you right away.
00:47:20You can wait till tomorrow.
00:47:22It's important.
00:47:23Okay, I'm listening.
00:47:25I can't talk to you like this.
00:47:27I can hear you.
00:47:29Come on, open up that door.
00:47:30What are you afraid of?
00:47:31Oh, pipe down, will ya?
00:47:34Quiet.
00:47:35You wanna wake everybody up?
00:47:36What do you want?
00:47:37I came to tell you I can't go through with it,
00:47:40like I planned.
00:47:41It'll take too long.
00:47:43I knew it.
00:47:44You didn't stand a chance.
00:47:45That isn't it.
00:47:47Look, you know how I feel about you.
00:47:49You've got to believe in me.
00:47:50Have confidence in me.
00:47:52I want you, Stella.
00:47:53I'm nuts about you.
00:47:54That wasn't the deal.
00:47:56What of it?
00:47:57I'll get you that home and everything you wanted with it.
00:48:00I can do it.
00:48:01I've got ideas that work.
00:48:03Pay off big.
00:48:04Come on, let's get out of here.
00:48:05Tonight.
00:48:06I'm taking no chances.
00:48:08Listen, Stella.
00:48:09I stick to the plan.
00:48:11I'll listen, Stella.
00:48:12I stick to a deal.
00:48:17Satisfied there's nobody here?
00:48:22Now beat it.
00:48:23Beat it.
00:48:47Eric?
00:48:48Yeah.
00:48:49I'm so glad.
00:48:50I was afraid you might have already left.
00:48:52Who is this?
00:48:53June.
00:48:55Eric, I'm going with you.
00:48:58To San Francisco?
00:49:00To the concert on the 9 o'clock train.
00:49:02We'll pick you up on the way to the station.
00:49:04We?
00:49:05Yes, Clara's going along too.
00:49:07She had to go to San Francisco anyway to take care of some business,
00:49:10so she thought she might as well do it a week ahead of time.
00:49:13Have her along.
00:49:14Thank you, Eric.
00:49:15We'll be right over.
00:49:22Oh.
00:49:43Want to wait here?
00:49:44No, I'll go in with you.
00:49:45Do you mind?
00:49:46Not at all.
00:49:53Mills, number 17.
00:49:55Yes, Miss Mills.
00:49:56Clara and June Mills, joint ownership.
00:49:59Either one of you sign here.
00:50:01What's the rent on the box?
00:50:03$4 and up.
00:50:04It's not available now.
00:50:06We might have some vacancies next month.
00:50:08But I need one now.
00:50:10You can put whatever you want in our box.
00:50:12No, thanks.
00:50:13I might need it when you're home.
00:50:14Come on, June.
00:50:16Have you a telephone directory?
00:50:19Yes, right around the corner.
00:50:21This way?
00:50:22Yes.
00:50:23Thanks.
00:50:25How are you?
00:50:26I'm fine.
00:50:27How are you?
00:50:28Good.
00:50:29I'm fine.
00:50:30Catch you later.
00:50:31Bye-bye.
00:50:32Bye-bye.
00:50:33We made it.
00:50:35Good job.
00:50:36Don't forget to take your keys.
00:50:37Thanks.
00:50:38Good luck.
00:50:39Thanks.
00:50:40Good luck.
00:50:41Good luck.
00:50:42You look just like you used to be.
00:50:43You're all grown up.
00:50:44Don't be ridiculous.
00:50:45Don't be ridiculous.
00:50:46You don't look like you used to be.
00:50:47Remember?
00:50:48Oh, I remember.
00:50:49Uh-huh.
00:50:50I'm going to try and get in on that speech,
00:50:51and we'll be right over.
00:50:52The gentleman went to the phone room.
00:51:15Thank you.
00:51:18That was great, Black.
00:51:19I found him in.
00:51:20Who?
00:51:22He's very important.
00:51:23Might have a great effect on your career.
00:51:24Who is he?
00:51:25Wait till you meet him.
00:51:26I told him we'd be over right away.
00:51:29Go ahead.
00:51:30I want to make a call from here.
00:51:32I'll meet you after the concert.
00:51:33No, we wouldn't think of it.
00:51:34Eric asked you to go with us.
00:51:35Thanks, but...
00:51:36Sure, you're going.
00:51:37Meet us at 2.30 sharp in front of the auditorium.
00:51:412.30.
00:51:42Good luck.
00:51:43Thanks.
00:51:44We'll need it.
00:51:45There is no concert, I suppose you know that.
00:52:11He knew it all along.
00:52:13He's been following us all the way up here to San Francisco pretending...
00:52:15He had to.
00:52:16Why?
00:52:17Can you think of any better way of getting June out of Walton?
00:52:19As long as she was there, we didn't have a chance.
00:52:21What chance?
00:52:22Get married.
00:52:23Married.
00:52:24Sure.
00:52:25Here's the evidence.
00:52:26Certificate of marriage.
00:52:27June.
00:52:28You don't know what you've done.
00:52:29I do.
00:52:30I'll have the whole thing annulled.
00:52:31No, you won't, Clara.
00:52:32I know what I want.
00:52:42This isn't as sudden as you think.
00:52:45Well, what's the verdict?
00:52:50I hope you'll be very happy.
00:52:52Thank you, Clara.
00:52:53I suppose the next thing to say is, shall we be friends?
00:52:58We could be.
00:52:59If you'd make June happy.
00:53:01Sure, I will.
00:53:02Right from the start.
00:53:05What are your plans?
00:53:06Well, I'd like to go home first and get a few things together.
00:53:11And we'll go someplace for a little while.
00:53:12All right, Eric?
00:53:13Okay.
00:53:14Back to Walton.
00:53:15But first, I'd, uh, like to try another bank.
00:53:17I want to put this in a safe deposit box.
00:53:19Don't want to take any chances carrying it around.
00:53:21I'd be too glad if it was two, you know.
00:53:23Why don't you put it in our box?
00:53:24It wouldn't pass me.
00:53:25It's in your name.
00:53:26I'll put it away for you.
00:53:34I always thought of it that way, didn't I, June?
00:53:37Yes, dear.
00:53:38I said to myself, when June gets married, this will be her home.
00:53:43I'll give it to her and her husband to do with as they please.
00:53:47If I'm to stay on it, it'll be as a guest.
00:53:50A guest in June's home.
00:53:54Assuming, of course, that I'm wanted.
00:53:56Of course we want you with us.
00:53:58Absolutely.
00:53:59Here, have some more.
00:54:00No.
00:54:01It's time for a guest to say goodnight.
00:54:04Goodnight.
00:54:05Goodnight, Clara.
00:54:36I'll be up in a minute.
00:55:57Won't you even have a drink with me?
00:56:21I got a date.
00:56:22Can I walk you home?
00:56:25He said I got a date.
00:56:28Goodnight, Stella.
00:56:30Don't forget to lock the door.
00:56:31Stella?
00:56:32Yeah.
00:56:33You're going to San Francisco tomorrow.
00:56:39Am I?
00:56:41Tomorrow I'll have that money.
00:56:49All of it.
00:56:50You meet me up there and then we'll...
00:56:52How do I know you'll have it?
00:56:53Because I'm going to San Francisco with her to get it.
00:56:56Well, I won't. And she won't either.
00:56:59Oh, yes, she will. It's her honeymoon.
00:57:04Her what?
00:57:06Yeah. I married her. This afternoon.
00:57:10It was the only way.
00:57:12Congratulations.
00:57:16Now, listen. We're really not married.
00:57:19I mean, we'll be divorced in no time.
00:57:21I haven't even kissed her. As a matter of fact, I can have it now.
00:57:24Good night.
00:57:26Now, wait a minute.
00:57:28What do you want? She's your wife, not me.
00:57:31I don't run around with married men.
00:57:33I did it for you. To get you what you wanted.
00:57:36Now you'll keep your part of the deal.
00:57:38Oh, sure. But she's got the ring on her finger.
00:57:40She's not so dumb.
00:57:43Well, I'm not a dope either.
00:57:51Good morning.
00:58:22Sugar? Cream?
00:58:24No.
00:58:32Go ahead. Say it.
00:58:34I have nothing to say, Eric.
00:58:37I'm waiting for you.
00:58:40Well, I'm sorry.
00:58:43Maybe I shouldn't have stayed out that late.
00:58:46All of a sudden, there I was, a married man.
00:58:49I had to go out for a drink.
00:58:52By the time I got back in, you were asleep.
00:58:54Why did you go to see that girl in the diner?
00:58:56What girl?
00:58:58Clara saw you.
00:59:01You mean she went out after me?
00:59:03Yes. She told me this morning.
00:59:05Well, that's fine. Clara told you.
00:59:07What you gonna do? Follow me around everywhere I go?
00:59:10Check up on me?
00:59:12That sister of yours has been running your life up to now,
00:59:14and she better stay out of mine. You tell her.
00:59:16I was angry with her too at first.
00:59:18But she means well.
00:59:20Yeah? Now, why didn't she tell you?
00:59:23So you could have a good time worrying?
00:59:26I didn't worry.
00:59:29Until that... that man came to see you.
00:59:33What man?
00:59:35He's with the police.
00:59:38Wants to ask you something.
00:59:40Ask me what?
00:59:42About that girl.
00:59:44She was found murdered.
00:59:48Stella?
00:59:50Yes. Yes, that was her name.
00:59:56Eric.
00:59:58What did she mean to you?
01:00:03Does Mr. Judd know?
01:00:06Judd?
01:00:08He's downstairs waiting.
01:00:18Mr. Judd.
01:00:20Congratulations, Mr. Stanton. I just heard you were married.
01:00:23And my very best wishes to you, Mrs. Stanton.
01:00:25Thank you.
01:00:27Well, our church organist certainly surprised us all.
01:00:29Married in San Francisco and not in the church.
01:00:32It certainly saves time, doesn't it?
01:00:34Gives one the chance to get back the same night
01:00:36and have a nice little family dinner.
01:00:38And after that, where'd you go?
01:00:40We retired.
01:00:42Everybody?
01:00:44I locked the door myself.
01:00:47Well, I guess I'll check up on a few things.
01:00:49Mind if I go with you?
01:00:51Not a bit. Thank you.
01:01:02How did it happen?
01:01:04Who did it?
01:01:06I don't know yet.
01:01:08The chief of police called me this morning
01:01:10and asked me to give them a little help.
01:01:12He appointed me special investigator.
01:01:14You know, it's strange.
01:01:16What is?
01:01:18That a man doesn't spend his wedding night at home.
01:01:20Did Clara tell you?
01:01:22No, she didn't say anything.
01:01:24I saw you around myself.
01:01:35Out of the way, folks. One side, please.
01:01:39Bye, Mr. Judd.
01:01:45One side, please.
01:01:47One side. Out of the way.
01:01:58Hello, Mr. Judd.
01:02:00Carson.
01:02:15Hello, Pop.
01:02:30You can sit down now.
01:02:33Thanks for coming, Mr. Judd.
01:02:35Chief.
01:02:37The coroner was here.
01:02:39He'll send in his report as soon as he gets it.
01:02:41In the meantime, however,
01:02:43here's what he said.
01:02:45She was killed by a blow
01:02:47on the left temple.
01:02:49Weapon undetermined.
01:02:52Probably a lead pipe.
01:02:54Time of death between 3 and 4 a.m.
01:02:59Find the weapon?
01:03:01It's not in here.
01:03:05We'll get it.
01:03:07Not in here.
01:03:11Who's she?
01:03:13She lived downstairs, Mr. Judd.
01:03:15Says someone ran out of here late last night.
01:03:19She found the gold watch
01:03:21under the step this morning.
01:03:23Guess he must have dropped it.
01:03:25What did he look like?
01:03:27I don't know, mister.
01:03:29It was so dark, I couldn't see him.
01:03:31Just as I went to close the window,
01:03:33I saw him running down the street.
01:03:35How do you know it was a man you saw?
01:03:37I didn't say it was a man.
01:03:39That it was a woman?
01:03:41No.
01:03:43Then it had to be a man.
01:03:45Well, I guess it was.
01:03:47A man always took her home.
01:03:49Who?
01:03:51A man.
01:03:53A man always took her home.
01:03:55Who?
01:03:57I don't know.
01:03:59I saw him come up.
01:04:05And once I saw him.
01:04:09Which one did you see last night?
01:04:11Oh, I can't say.
01:04:13It was them, honest.
01:04:15Can I go now, mister?
01:04:17I should be down in the store.
01:04:19Please.
01:04:21You can go.
01:04:29So can you, Pop.
01:04:31I don't need you right now.
01:04:35Let me stay, mister Judd.
01:04:37It's her room.
01:04:39It was her room, Pop.
01:04:41She was a good girl, wasn't she, mister Judd?
01:04:43She never meant bad.
01:04:45Everybody liked her.
01:04:47Yes.
01:04:49Everybody.
01:04:53Your name?
01:04:55Atkins. I gave my statement to the chief.
01:04:57What do you do?
01:04:59Well, you know me. I operate jukeboxes around here.
01:05:01And slot machines.
01:05:03Only in Nevada, where it's legal.
01:05:05Now, look. I already said what I had to to the chief.
01:05:07I'm not answering any more questions.
01:05:09What makes you think I'm going to question you, mister Atkins?
01:05:13I know how cops work.
01:05:15How do they work, mister Atkins?
01:05:17Well, you're supposed to show me.
01:05:21Perhaps we'd better go in there.
01:05:23If you don't mind.
01:05:25No, I don't mind.
01:05:29Here's his statement, mister Judd.
01:05:31Check his alibi.
01:05:33There's a phone in the store downstairs.
01:05:35Right away.
01:05:47Sit down.
01:05:53Now...
01:05:55Let's get down to facts, mister Atkins.
01:05:57You've got my alibi right there.
01:05:59If you don't believe me, why don't you wait till the chief gets back?
01:06:02But I'm not interested in your alibi.
01:06:04I'd like to know when you gave her this watch.
01:06:07When?
01:06:09Why don't you ask me if I gave her this watch?
01:06:11I'm not interested in your alibi.
01:06:13I'd like to know when you gave her this watch.
01:06:15Why don't you ask me if I gave it to her?
01:06:17I know you did.
01:06:19You don't.
01:06:21I told you I know how cops work.
01:06:26I don't believe you know how I work, mister Atkins.
01:06:33Those kid gloves?
01:06:35Certainly.
01:06:37I don't like to mess up any case I'm on.
01:06:42You gave her the watch, didn't you?
01:06:44You did.
01:06:46You gave it her.
01:06:48You gave her the watch, didn't you?
01:06:50You did.
01:06:52You gave it her.
01:06:58You gave it her.
01:07:15All right, let's pick it up.
01:07:17What about you and Stella?
01:07:19Well, I've known her for a long time.
01:07:23I used to board at her mother's home down in San Diego.
01:07:30I didn't have any money then, so I couldn't marry her.
01:07:35Skip the romance.
01:07:37Last night you picked her up at 10.15.
01:07:39You were with her until 2.00.
01:07:41What happened in between?
01:07:43We had dinner.
01:07:46Drove down to the beach.
01:07:48Well, you got there, didn't you?
01:07:50Yeah, yeah.
01:07:53That's when she said she'd marry me.
01:07:55And you brought her home.
01:07:56You came up to kiss the bride.
01:07:58No, no, I didn't come up.
01:07:59I left right away.
01:08:02You see, when Stella was murdered,
01:08:05I was in a motor court just outside of Glen Olden.
01:08:08That's a hundred miles away.
01:08:10How do you know what time Stella was murdered?
01:08:12The coroner's report.
01:08:15It says around 4.00.
01:08:18Well, you know I couldn't have murdered her.
01:08:20Sit down.
01:08:27You did give her the watch, didn't you?
01:08:29No.
01:08:30Tell him I went home.
01:08:31Come on, Mr. Atkins.
01:08:33Just for the record, so we can clear that up.
01:08:36It doesn't make you any more guilty if you did give it to her.
01:08:39You quarreled, you took it back,
01:08:42and you lost it on the way down.
01:08:44No, I never gave her any jewelry.
01:08:46Come on, Mr. Atkins, admit it.
01:08:48No.
01:08:49But you were generous just once.
01:08:51No.
01:08:52Admit it.
01:08:53No.
01:09:00Mr. Stanton.
01:09:02Look, you don't try that on me.
01:09:04I wouldn't think of it.
01:09:06I just happen not to like his face.
01:09:09Mr. Chad, his alibi is okay.
01:09:12The Lido motor court in Grand Olin said he checked in at 2.30.
01:09:18All right, Mr. Atkins, you may go now.
01:09:22I knew his alibi, little devil.
01:09:24You got the watch?
01:09:30I didn't say you could go, Mr. Stanton.
01:09:36Sit down.
01:09:37I'm on to the rules.
01:09:38You can't ask me anything or hold me without charges.
01:09:41You seem to be an expert on loopholes.
01:09:44Perhaps you could tell us who might have murdered the girl.
01:09:46I don't know. Could have been anybody. Atkins, maybe.
01:09:48No, it isn't Atkins.
01:09:49Pop, he was stuck on her.
01:09:50Perhaps.
01:09:52Or was it a woman, Clara Mills?
01:09:54No, the woman downstairs.
01:09:55Or you, Mr. Stanton.
01:09:56Or you, Mr. Judd.
01:09:57A splendid deduction.
01:09:59Possibilities are many, and all quite interesting, don't you think?
01:10:02In a cold-blooded sort of way, sure.
01:10:04You still aren't helping us get anywhere.
01:10:05It's your case.
01:10:06But you're involved in it.
01:10:08More than you realize.
01:10:09Now, look.
01:10:10I'm looking.
01:10:11The facts.
01:10:12They're all against you.
01:10:15You came into town with no obvious reasons.
01:10:18Of course, you were going elsewhere.
01:10:21Meet a young lady, spend some time with her.
01:10:24Then you come up here.
01:10:25The woman downstairs saw you.
01:10:28Then you meet another young lady and marry her.
01:10:31On your wedding night, you walked the streets looking for young lady number one.
01:10:35How do we know you didn't wait for her until...
01:10:37I didn't.
01:10:39You're an expert, Mr. Stanton.
01:10:42You know the exact value of a man's word against facts.
01:10:46Are you accusing me?
01:10:47Not yet.
01:10:48Perhaps after we find the weapon.
01:10:51However, I wouldn't plan on any out-of-town honeymoon just yet.
01:10:55We might need you any moment.
01:10:58Good day.
01:11:00Good day.
01:11:09What are you packing for?
01:11:11You're not going away now, are you?
01:11:12Yes, I am.
01:11:14Oh, June, I won't let you go with him.
01:11:16Not after that girl was murdered.
01:11:17I'm going, Clara.
01:11:18How can you?
01:11:20Why throw yourself away on someone who's not worth it?
01:11:22He isn't worth it.
01:11:25Oh, June, it's no use.
01:11:26There's no happiness in it.
01:11:27I know. I've been through all this.
01:11:28It's not the same thing, Clara.
01:11:29Please try to understand.
01:11:31I do understand.
01:11:33Once I believed in someone, too.
01:11:36No matter what people said, I believed in him.
01:11:39You don't know what he meant to me.
01:11:41What all of his lies and broken promises and dishonesty did to me.
01:11:45I can't let you ruin your life, too.
01:11:48June, a man who went out after another woman the night of your marriage.
01:11:51Maybe you're right, Clara, but I can't let it end now.
01:11:54I must give us every chance.
01:11:55I hardly know him yet.
01:11:56We've said so little to each other, we're practically strangers.
01:11:59Together, maybe he'll change.
01:12:01He won't change.
01:12:03Maybe not.
01:12:04But at least I'll have tried.
01:12:06Done everything I could.
01:12:09Goodbye, Clara.
01:12:10Goodbye, Clara.
01:12:24Eric, there's a train leaving in a half hour and I...
01:12:26Forget about the honeymoon.
01:12:28I'm beating it alone.
01:12:29I'll make better time.
01:12:31You're running away.
01:12:32What do you want me to do?
01:12:33Stick around here?
01:12:34Get framed?
01:12:36My face punched in.
01:12:37You bet I'm running away.
01:12:38But won't it look bad if they watch you?
01:12:41That's for Mr. Judd to figure out.
01:12:42If he wants to pin it on me, he'll have to find me first.
01:12:46Where will you go?
01:12:48What do you want to know for?
01:12:50Because I want to go with you.
01:12:52You'll need me to get the money, San Francisco.
01:12:55Who asked you for money?
01:12:57You'll need it.
01:12:59You mean, you're giving me the money?
01:13:02No, I'm not giving it to you, it belongs to both of us.
01:13:05All right.
01:13:06When this thing blows over, I'll pay it back to you every cent.
01:13:08Very well, I'll get the car.
01:13:10No, and we can't take the train or the bus either.
01:13:13Judd will have them all watched.
01:13:15We've got to get on the highway without being seen.
01:13:17We'll hitchhike to San Francisco.
01:13:19And no luggage.
01:13:21It's got to look as if we were just out taking a walk.
01:13:23Come on.
01:13:35Come on.
01:13:53Good evening.
01:13:55In and out, out and in.
01:13:56Sorry.
01:13:57One right after the other.
01:13:59Can't even wait till the room is ready.
01:14:02I never saw such a rush.
01:14:04Everybody getting married.
01:14:11What a dump.
01:14:13It isn't so bad.
01:14:20Tired?
01:14:22Maybe I am.
01:14:24Waiting for something to happen.
01:14:27Nothing's going to happen.
01:14:34Come on.
01:15:04Shut it off, will you?
01:15:10I just thought you might like a drink.
01:15:13I sure would.
01:15:14But not that.
01:15:16Well, there's a bar downstairs
01:15:17and we still have a little money left.
01:15:19What do you want me to do?
01:15:20Walk right into his arms?
01:15:22He probably isn't after you at all.
01:15:23Not much.
01:15:24All right.
01:15:25I'll be right back.
01:15:27Let's go.
01:15:28Come on.
01:15:30Come on, let's go.
01:15:31Come on, let's go.
01:15:32Come on.
01:15:33Not much.
01:15:37Must have sent a description of me to all the papers.
01:15:43Maybe we missed an edition.
01:15:45Couldn't be in the papers yet.
01:15:46It's too early.
01:15:47There's no reason to be afraid.
01:15:49Sure.
01:15:50Murder raps nothing.
01:15:51Let's just up and go home
01:15:52so he can pin it on me.
01:15:54I didn't say we ought to go home.
01:15:55No, you didn't say it, but you meant it.
01:15:58Room's not good enough.
01:16:00Why don't you go on, tell me.
01:16:01I got you into this.
01:16:02That's why you ever came.
01:16:04But I'm not sorry.
01:16:05I wanted to.
01:16:06What for?
01:16:07So you could drive me nuts
01:16:08with that quiet way of yours?
01:16:09Eric.
01:16:10Why'd I ever bring you anyway?
01:16:11I don't need your dough.
01:16:13Wouldn't have to wait around here,
01:16:14hang around this dump.
01:16:15If I'd been alone,
01:16:16I could have kept right on going.
01:16:18Maybe I will.
01:16:33Double scotch, please.
01:16:35Better make it a single.
01:16:37I'll settle for a beer.
01:16:39Better make up your mind, mister.
01:16:41It is made up, a beer.
01:17:02I'll get it.
01:17:32Eric?
01:17:33Yes.
01:17:36Could you give me a towel, please?
01:17:37They're on the bed.
01:17:43Here.
01:17:44Thank you.
01:17:55Eric, could you get me my coat?
01:17:56It's in the closet.
01:18:02Thank you.
01:18:08Here.
01:18:29I, uh...
01:18:30Thought I'd bring you one of these.
01:18:33Thank you.
01:18:36And this.
01:18:38Help you pass the time.
01:18:41That's very sweet of you.
01:18:43I thought it would say it better than I could, but...
01:18:47And I'm sorry.
01:18:48Just nervous, I guess.
01:18:49I understand.
01:18:51Well, all I mean is
01:18:52there's nothing in it for you
01:18:53chasing around like this.
01:18:54You ought to go home.
01:18:55No.
01:18:56Why do you waste your money on a guy like me?
01:18:58I'm not wasting my money.
01:19:00It's yours as well.
01:19:01I don't care what you do with it.
01:19:02Burn it up, tear it up.
01:19:03Do anything you want with it.
01:19:08Take it easy.
01:19:10I only meant it for your sake.
01:19:12If you had any consideration at all,
01:19:13you wouldn't even mention the money.
01:19:15Okay.
01:19:16But any time you want to,
01:19:17you can always pull out.
01:19:18Remember that.
01:19:19Bill fixed you up with a divorce
01:19:20just for the asking.
01:19:21Just tell him how I lied to you.
01:19:23That I only married you for your money.
01:19:24I'm wanted for murder.
01:19:25You didn't murder that girl.
01:19:26Maybe I did.
01:19:27You didn't even ask me.
01:19:28I didn't have to.
01:19:29No, you didn't.
01:19:30What do you know about it?
01:19:31All I know is that I love you.
01:19:32I love you, Eric.
01:19:33I love you.
01:19:35I love you.
01:19:58I could go on for the rest of the night
01:19:59telling you about my batting average.
01:20:01How many times I've struck out.
01:20:03Even when I hit a home run,
01:20:04it wasn't any different.
01:20:06Like the time in New York,
01:20:07just before I came west.
01:20:09I'd started a publicity office.
01:20:12Like always, it was great in the beginning.
01:20:14Guy comes along,
01:20:16wants to buy the business,
01:20:17offered me 8,000 bucks on the line.
01:20:19I took it.
01:20:21We had a big celebration that night.
01:20:23In a couple of hours,
01:20:24I'd lost half of it back
01:20:26to him and his friends.
01:20:28I knew the dice were loaded,
01:20:30but I couldn't prove it.
01:20:32Anyway, I came west.
01:20:34Chicago for a while,
01:20:36then Omaha,
01:20:38Las Vegas.
01:20:40That's where I dropped the other half of the dough.
01:20:43When I was kicked off of that bus at Walton,
01:20:46I only had one dollar left.
01:20:50And then...
01:20:52Now, but why go on?
01:20:56I want to know everything about you.
01:21:00It all adds up to only one thing.
01:21:02A washout.
01:21:04That's what you're looking at.
01:21:06A complete washout at 30.
01:21:09Yeah, I'm finished, okay?
01:21:11You're not finished, Eric.
01:21:13Sure I am.
01:21:15I'm tired.
01:21:17Like I was a million years old.
01:21:19With a million jobs behind me.
01:21:21And girls.
01:21:23Chances I never followed up.
01:21:26Eric,
01:21:28did you care very much for Stella?
01:21:33I don't know.
01:21:35I guess I did.
01:21:39I even promised her I'd marry her.
01:21:42I can't figure it out now.
01:21:45Would have lasted a couple of weeks.
01:21:47Maybe less.
01:21:52Anyway, that's all gone.
01:21:56Just as if it died with her.
01:22:00Yeah, that's over too.
01:22:02Up in smoke,
01:22:04like everything in my life.
01:22:06My school, the publicity game.
01:22:08Easy come, easy go.
01:22:11I got everything by talking fast
01:22:13in a world that goes for talk.
01:22:15And end up with exactly nothing.
01:22:22Perhaps we can find what you want
01:22:24when this is all cleared up.
01:22:26If it's cleared up.
01:22:28Eric,
01:22:29wouldn't it look better not to run away?
01:22:31To go back to Walden?
01:22:33Sure, go back to the chair.
01:22:35Or is it the gas chamber in California?
01:22:37You're innocent.
01:22:39There's nothing to worry about.
01:22:41Maybe that's the way it works in your books.
01:22:43But even when I was a kid,
01:22:45I was always being beaten up
01:22:47for something I didn't do.
01:22:49That's when I learned to run away
01:22:51before it was too late.
01:22:53You're tired.
01:22:55Come, lie down.
01:23:00Tomorrow,
01:23:02we'll go wherever you want to go.
01:23:06Joan,
01:23:08why don't you just go on home?
01:23:11We're married, remember?
01:23:14Besides,
01:23:16I want to be with you.
01:23:18Why?
01:23:21I need you, Eric.
01:23:24You need me?
01:23:26Yes.
01:23:27You're my husband
01:23:29and I'm your wife.
01:23:31Right out of a book
01:23:33again.
01:23:35Yes.
01:23:37Out of a book.
01:23:40We were born to tread the earth as angels,
01:23:44to seek out heaven
01:23:46this side of the sky.
01:23:49But they who race alone
01:23:51shall stumble in the dark
01:23:53and fall from grace.
01:23:54Go on.
01:23:56Sounds good.
01:23:59Then love alone
01:24:01can make the fallen angel rise.
01:24:04For only two together
01:24:06can enter paradise.

01:25:55The bank just opened.
01:25:56Let's go.
01:26:14You wait here, I'll be right back.
01:26:16Shine, sir.
01:26:25Good morning.
01:26:29Mrs. Shatton?
01:26:33Come with us, please.
01:26:54Here.
01:26:56But I'm not finished yet.
01:26:59Let's be sensible.
01:27:01We've been here for hours.
01:27:07Tell us where he is.
01:27:09We'll find him soon.
01:27:14I'm sorry, sir.
01:27:16I'm sorry.
01:27:18I'm sorry.
01:27:20I'm sorry.
01:27:22I'm sorry.
01:27:25I'm sorry.
01:27:28Mrs. Shatton, you're not helping him or yourself.
01:27:31Getting mixed up in this murder is an accessory after the fact.
01:27:34If he doesn't want to come back, he must have a reason.
01:27:37What reason could an innocent man have
01:27:40assuming he's innocent?
01:27:42He is. He could never have done it.
01:27:44How can you say that?
01:27:47You know very little about him.
01:27:49He came into town a total stranger
01:27:51and within a week he married you
01:27:52all to his credit, of course.
01:27:55But why this trust in him?
01:27:58A man who went out to see another woman
01:28:00the night of your marriage.
01:28:03That's between the two of us.
01:28:09Ask Miss Clara Mills to come in.
01:28:14Miss Mills, please.
01:28:23Sit down, Miss Mills.
01:28:32In your sworn statement,
01:28:34you identified this envelope
01:28:36which was found in your safe deposit box
01:28:38as the one Mr. Stanton gave you.
01:28:40Would you please repeat that for your sister?
01:28:43Yes.
01:28:45This is the envelope he gave me
01:28:47after they were married in San Francisco.
01:28:49Why did he want you to put it away?
01:28:50He said it contained something valuable.
01:28:52Mm-hmm.
01:28:55Would you care to see your husband's
01:28:57valuable property, Mrs. Stanton?
01:29:03A blank piece of paper.
01:29:07Now, why would a man want to put
01:29:09a blank piece of paper in your safe deposit box?
01:29:12I'll tell you.
01:29:14It gives him the excuse to open the box
01:29:16to steal your money.
01:29:18No, he wouldn't.
01:29:20He did because he was confused.
01:29:22He knew what he was doing.
01:29:24He wanted that money so he could run away with that girl.
01:29:26But he didn't run away with her.
01:29:28No, he made the mistake of coming back a married man.
01:29:30And she didn't want to have anything
01:29:32to do with married men.
01:29:34They had an argument and he killed her.
01:29:36You're only assuming that. You have no proof.
01:29:38All right.
01:29:40But why shield a man who lied to you
01:29:42and wanted to steal from you
01:29:44when you have positive proof
01:29:46that he married you for your money?
01:29:48He didn't lie to me.
01:29:50He only ran away because he had to.
01:29:52He's always had to run away, all his life.
01:29:54Even as a child when he was beaten
01:29:56for things he didn't do.
01:29:58But he won't come back because of you.
01:30:00Because you won't give him a chance.
01:30:02You only think the worst of him.
01:30:04Trying to make him guilty of murder
01:30:06when he didn't do it.
01:30:08I tell you he didn't do it! He didn't do it!
01:30:13Take her home now.
01:30:18You're responsible.
01:30:20Leave the house.
01:30:37Not the same, Mr. Judd.
01:30:39I think I'll sell the place.
01:30:51Hello, Pop.
01:30:53Some coffee, please.
01:31:07I knew you'd be back.
01:31:09Yeah.
01:31:12Well, drink your coffee
01:31:14and we'll go down to the chief of police.
01:31:16Thanks.
01:31:21Enjoy San Francisco?
01:31:25Sure.
01:31:27How come you didn't go after me?
01:31:29I didn't have to.
01:31:31And how come there wasn't a word
01:31:33about Stella's murder in the papers?
01:31:35Why are you holding it back?
01:31:37Professional reasons.
01:31:39And was it for professional reasons
01:31:41you beat up Atkins?
01:31:43When all the time you knew he was innocent?
01:31:45You don't seem to appreciate
01:31:47my methods, Mr. Stanton.
01:31:48Frankly, no.
01:31:50That's what brought me back.
01:31:53You know, I got worrying about you
01:31:55in San Francisco.
01:31:57About me?
01:31:59Yes, Mr. Judd.
01:32:01You know, you ought to stay home nights
01:32:03with your bad health.
01:32:05I'd walk the streets.
01:32:07Like the night you said you saw me
01:32:09looking for Stella.
01:32:11More coffee, Pop.
01:32:13You know, you weren't strong enough
01:32:15to keep on working on the New York force.
01:32:16Why are you working so hard on this case?
01:32:18Maybe you better slow down.
01:32:20Don't you worry about me.
01:32:22I'm okay.
01:32:24I said I wanted more coffee, Pop.
01:32:26Get it?
01:32:28I don't worry about you, Mr. Judd.
01:32:30Not anymore.
01:32:32Not since I called a friend of mine
01:32:34in the DA's office in New York.
01:32:37He assured me you were in perfect health
01:32:39when you left there.
01:32:41They only retired you from the force
01:32:43because you ruined another man's health.
01:32:44Almost killed him
01:32:46in a routine investigation.
01:32:48They would have sent you up
01:32:50if you hadn't had such a good record.
01:32:52That was before you started to enjoy
01:32:54your work too much.
01:32:56Wearing gloves, you know.
01:32:58And what's more, I checked up on...
01:33:00That's enough.
01:33:02Save it for the chief.
01:33:04Stay on, Pop.
01:33:06Now, you remember that watch?
01:33:08The one with the three diamonds
01:33:10that belonged to Stella.
01:33:12Ever found out who bought it for her?
01:33:14You know, you made your fatal mistake, Judd,
01:33:16when you had June arrested up in San Francisco.
01:33:19Well, you scared me at first, all right.
01:33:21But then I stopped.
01:33:23And I began to think.
01:33:25And I kept right on thinking about that watch.
01:33:28And I started a little routine investigation
01:33:30of my own.
01:33:32The result is the Walton police
01:33:34will get a wire from San Francisco.
01:33:36They'll know who bought that watch
01:33:38by tomorrow morning.
01:33:40That is, unless you admit it tonight.
01:33:42Shall we go?
01:33:44They're waiting outside.
01:33:46I thought it would be more convenient.
01:33:49Sit down.
01:33:54You don't mind if I finish my coffee?
01:33:56You're insane, Judd.
01:33:58The police are waiting right outside.
01:34:00Perhaps I am insane.
01:34:05Perhaps this might have been the perfect crime
01:34:07if I hadn't dropped the watch.
01:34:10Oh, I doubt it.
01:34:12Always some slip.
01:34:14Always is.
01:34:17You understand.
01:34:20You know what she was like.
01:34:23You couldn't get away from her either.
01:34:26Two years I came in here and drank coffee
01:34:28just to get a look at her.
01:34:32Day after day for two years.
01:34:36Insane, perhaps.
01:34:39Those evenings when she went out with other men
01:34:41while I was waiting for her
01:34:42in the shadow of the porch.
01:34:45Remember three nights ago
01:34:47when you brought her home and kissed her?
01:34:51I was standing there.
01:34:54Insane, perhaps.
01:34:58The night before last when she was out with Atkins.
01:35:02After he left, I went up.
01:35:05When she told me she wouldn't wait any longer
01:35:07for my wife to give me a divorce,
01:35:09that she was going to marry that slot machine operator
01:35:10the next morning, I hit her.
01:35:15Unfortunately, I didn't remember my ring.
01:35:19Get out of the way, Mr. Sam.
01:35:21I'm going to kill him.
01:35:23He murdered Sam.
01:35:24I'm going to kill him.
01:35:25I'm going to kill him.
01:35:35Let's go.
01:35:40Let's go.
01:36:00You gotta forget it, Pop.
01:36:05No, I'll never forget Stella.
01:36:08You will.
01:36:10I'll never forget myself until
01:36:12you'll find yourself, Pop.
01:36:21Eric.
01:36:32Where to?
01:36:34Home.
01:36:40Home.
