00:00Once upon a time, there were three little girls who went to the police academy, one
00:07in Los Angeles, one in San Francisco, the other in Boston.
00:16And they were each assigned very hazardous duties.
00:22But I took them away from all that, and now they work for me.

01:32Cut off your overcoat And the wind is free

01:41Eat an apple every day Get to bed by three
01:46Take good care of yourself You belong to me
01:50Be careful crossing streets
01:54You don't eat meat, ooh-ooh-ooh Cut out sweets, ooh-ooh-ooh
02:00You'll get a pain in room when you're tom-tom Keep away from bootleg hoops
02:05When you're on a spree
02:08We're not going to do ourselves any good if those two win.
02:12No, not hardly.
02:24We're not going to do ourselves any good if those two win.
02:54What's wrong? Why did we stop?
03:22The crowd, they don't appreciate what we're doing.
03:24They're digging the two stumble bums over there.
03:27They're very good.
03:28They're not as good as us.
03:29Hey, if winning was that easy, there wouldn't be a $5,000 prize.
03:33That's the word to remember, Jenny. Winning.
03:48Take five.
03:53Oh, baby brother, I've got to go outside and pull off.
03:56Can you bring me something to drink?
04:11Oh, I was expecting someone else.
04:16Hey, what are you doing with that?
04:19Are you crazy?
04:22Stay away from me. Stay away.
04:29Have you told your story to the police, Mr. Fairgate?
04:32I was with them all last night and all day today.
04:35And there's no trace of your sister?
04:37There's nothing. She just stepped outside for some air and she hasn't been seen since.
04:42Mr. Fairgate, it's public knowledge that you and your sister are well off financially.
04:47Have you considered the possibility that this is a kidnapping?
04:50Of course I have, but there are no ransom demands.
04:52There's no letters. There's no phone calls. There's nothing.
04:56Can you think of anyone who would want to harm your sister?
04:59No. Everyone who meets my sister falls immediately in love with her.
05:04She just doesn't have enemies.
05:07It seems we're hard-pressed to come up with a motivation, Angels.
05:12Unless...
05:14Unless it has something to do with a dance contest.
05:17You know, there is one thing that puzzles me, Mr. Fairgate.
05:21Why were you and your sister entered in the contest in the first place?
05:25Surely not for the prize money.
05:27Well, my sister is very competitive.
05:29And I mean competitive.
05:31She loves winning at everything.
05:33If it's tennis or golf or dancing, you name it,
05:38she'll try it and she'll beat you at it.
05:42Competitive people often make enemies of other competitive people, Mr. Fairgate.
05:46I think Chris is right.
05:48This may have something to do with a dance contest.
05:52Well, it's a good place to start.
05:54Mr. Fairgate, why don't you go home and get some sleep?
05:57We'll try and come up with an approach and we'll call you this evening.
06:02It doesn't look good, does it?
06:05Get some sleep. We'll call you.
06:17Well, ladies, are you ready to indulge in a little fancy terpsichore?
06:21Honestly, I've never heard this song before.
06:24I think it slipped gracefully into public domain a few years back.
06:28Sometimes you will find that mature music, like mature men,
06:31can be the source of endless delight.
06:34And once you see these feet in action, you will show a little more.
06:38I'm sure you will.
06:41Hi.
06:42Hello, sweetheart.
06:43We wanted to enter the dance contest.
06:45Maybe you could tell us who we should talk to.
06:47Sure. You could talk to me.
06:49Do you own this place?
06:50You might say I have a vested interest.
06:54May I?
07:11Thirty hours, ladies and gentlemen,
07:13thirty hours since this thru-league dance contest began
07:16here at the new Dance Town Ballroom.
07:18Look at them, ladies and gentlemen.
07:20These brave couples have been dancing ever since the first second
07:23Elton Mills lifted his baton yesterday at noon.
07:25Why not, considering what's at stake?
07:28$5,000 in cash to the lucky couple who receives the most votes
07:32from you wonderful people who've come here to show your appreciation
07:35by casting your ballots.
07:37For that, they thank you, and I thank you.
07:47One of him and three of you?
07:49Who dances with who?
07:51Oh, I was hoping to pick up a partner here.
07:53What do you think?
07:56Dead meat.
07:57Why don't you and I, uh...
08:00But you're management.
08:01Well, like the judge just explained,
08:03it's too late to enter the marathon for the big money.
08:05The best you can hope for is a modest specialty prize,
08:08and I promise not to step on your very pretty feet.
08:14Whatever's fair.
08:23Now that Chris has the executive section covered, where do we start?
08:27Well, our client said his biggest competitors were couple number six.
08:31There they are.
08:36They're good.
08:38Flashy.
08:39Tiff, why don't you and Boz go check out those two?
08:42I'll go talk to the man later.
08:44From where he stands, he might have seen something.
08:46Okay.
08:48Shall we get their attention?
08:51All right.
09:05I love you.
09:26I loved him.
09:29The pleasure's entirely mine.
09:35Come on.
09:54Well, now, here's looking at you, kid.
09:58You didn't really say that.
10:00I beg your pardon?
10:01You didn't really just say, here's looking at you, kid.
10:04You didn't say it first.
10:07Bogart, Casablanca, 1941.
10:101942.
10:12Also a good year.
10:13It's a habit of mine, doing lines from old films.
10:15Oh, that's all right. You like bogey.
10:18I loved all those guys.
10:20Bogart, E.G. Robinson, Cagney.
10:23They saw what they wanted, they went after it, and they took it.
10:26Those were good days. Good days.
10:29Those were good old movies. Pretend, you know.
10:32Movies reflect life.
10:34So there had to be guys like that.
10:37Whatever.
10:39You know, I came here because a friend of mine told me about this place.
10:42You might know her, Sally Fairgate.
10:44Fairgate?
10:46Yeah, she and her brother Joe are contestants here.
10:49You know them?
10:51Name doesn't register.
10:53Too bad. They're really good people.
10:55You'd like her a lot.
11:02Smooth moves.
11:06You have smooth moves.
11:09Huh.
11:10Well, couple number six is not very friendly.
11:13No, but our client was right.
11:14They are the heavy competition on the floors.
11:16The president of the company accepted them.
11:18I would hope so.
11:19I told you once you saw these little feet in action.
11:21All right.
11:22I'll see you later.

13:27Thank you.
13:42Listen. I'll have to take rain check on that drink.
13:46Our client's here.
13:47Oh.
13:52I thought you were going to go home and get some sleep.
13:54Hey, what are you doing here?
13:57Oh, the police found Sally and...
14:02Where?
14:04On the beach.
14:06She's dead.
14:07Who are those people with Fergie?
14:34I don't know yet.
14:36But I think we better find out.
14:38The blonde's been asking questions about his sister.
14:42Questions, what kind of questions?
14:43Just questions.
14:46I don't like that, Al, I don't like it at all.
14:49Neither do I, pal.
14:51Neither do I.
14:52Any time, no limit, any evening, any day,
15:22you'll find us all killing the lambeth wall.
15:27Every little lambeth pal with her little lambeth pal,
15:31you'll find them all killing the lambeth wall.
15:42Hi.
15:43Hi, hi.
15:44Where's Tiff?
15:45In the powder room.
15:46Something about a toe you stepped on during the tango?
15:48Impossible.
15:50How's our client?
15:51Well, I got him home, but he's in pretty rough shape.
15:53Did you hear from Charlie?
15:55Yeah, he called me on our way back here.
15:57Did he come up with anything meaningful?
15:59Yeah, the fellow that you had a drink with, Al Norman,
16:02he's got a police record.
16:03Somehow that doesn't surprise me.
16:05He's from back east.
16:07He was arrested on minor bunco charges.
16:09Any convictions?
16:10Yeah, a couple in funny land promotion.
16:13He was tied up with the big boys until he made a mistake.
16:15Then they kicked him out.
16:17Came out here, strictly a small timer.
16:20Does Charlie know how Mr. Norman is tied into this operation?
16:23Well, Dance Town is owned and operated by P.J. Wilkes,
16:27but it went into receivership last month,
16:29and Al Norman bailed it out.
16:31So now, according to the business license, they're partners.
16:35Well, I think one of us should get close to Mr. Wilkes.
16:39I'll give it a try.
16:40Okay, you take care of Mr. Wilkes,
16:42and I'll concentrate on Mr. Norman.
16:45And I'll see if I can get close to our couple number six.
16:49Oh, listen, I almost forgot.
16:52When I was taking our client home,
16:54he recalled something that could be very relevant.
16:57Like what?
16:58Well, he says that he recalls seeing our angry Mr. Six
17:02go out that exit just moments before Sally.
17:05Now, that could be a coincidence, or...
17:08Maybe not.
17:09Right. I think I'd better find out which.
17:14I'm gonna find Mr. P.J. Wilkes.
17:19Okay.
17:42Just around the corner
17:45There's a rainbow in the sky
17:48So let's have another cup of coffee
17:51And let's have another piece of pie
17:54Mr. Hoover says that now's the time to fly
18:00So let's have another cup of coffee
18:03And let's have another piece of pie
18:10Hey.
18:12I know this is supposed to be heavy on nostalgia,
18:14but who can dance to that tempo?
18:16Not everybody, but you.
18:20Yeah, but they dance like you sing.
18:22Boring.
18:24Listen, pal.
18:25The man pays me to sing this porn ball muck.
18:28I personally think it's lousy, but a buck's a buck.
18:31So I sing.
18:32Yeah?
18:34Now, you got some kind of problem about what's coming down here.
18:37Why don't you take a hike?
18:39How'd you like me to break that finger off and shove it up your nose?
18:42Why don't you try?
18:43Steve, stop!
18:44Hey! Hey!
18:45You wouldn't try when he's down, would you?
18:46I will as soon as you get out of my way.
18:47Well, I'm not gonna get out of your way.
18:49Maybe you'd like a little of the same.
18:50Steven, that is enough!
18:51She's right.
18:52You don't want to get thrown out of the contest when you're so close to winning.
18:54Hey! Hey!
18:55What's going on here?
18:56Come on, now.
18:57What is this?
18:58What's going on?
18:59Uh, nothing really.
19:00Just a little misunderstanding, but, uh, everything's all right now, right?
19:03Yeah, right.
19:05See?
19:06No problem.
19:07Play, maestro.
19:09Take a break.
19:10Fifteen minutes.
19:11Hey, I'm still running this show.
19:13Now, I want to know what's going on here.
19:14Oh, you must be Mr. P.J. Wilkes.
19:16Yeah, I must be.
19:17Who are you?
19:18I'm Kelly Garrett.
19:19I was just on my way to see you.
19:21Garrett, huh?
19:22Look, I told you to watch your temper.
19:25Hey, look, Wilkes, I didn't start it.
19:27He did.
19:28Mr. Wilkes, people who work for me call me Mr. Wilkes,
19:30and I'm up to here with your bad manners, you hear me?
19:32Look, I work for the band.
19:33I don't work for you.
19:35You don't shut your mouth, you won't be working for anybody.
19:37Now, get your act together.
19:38You and me are gonna tangle.
19:42All right, ladies and gentlemen, it's all over.
19:44Just have yourself a drink.
19:45The band's gonna take a 15-minute intermission.
19:47We'll be right back.
19:48Thank you.
19:49Now, you said you wanted to see me?
19:51My office is right through that door and to the left.
19:53Why don't you go in there and wait for me?
19:54I'll be right in.
19:55All right.
19:59Do you realize how close you came to blowing this whole thing for us?
20:02Hey, don't start on me.
20:03If you hadn't stepped in,
20:04you'd probably be on your way to jail right now.
20:06Yeah, but I'm not on my way to jail.
20:07We're still here, right?
20:08We're still in it for the big box.
20:10Yeah, well, I think you owe him an apology.
20:12I owe him nothing.
20:13You are wrong.
20:15Steve, you're letting this ambitious drive of yours
20:17turn you into some kind of an animal.
20:19Look, I'm no different than I was when we left New York.
20:22And I'm just a little bit more angry and frustrated.
20:27And I'm tired.
20:28Yeah, well, so what?
20:29I'm tired, too.
20:31I'm telling you, Steve, if you don't start acting civilized,
20:33I swear to you, I'll...
20:34You'll what?
20:36I'll walk right out of here.
20:38Don't be stupid.
20:39Out of here, out of your life.
20:41You know your big problem, Jenny?
20:43Your all mouth.
20:45Yeah?
20:47Watch me.
20:53All right.
20:54All right.
21:08I'm sorry.
21:12Okay.
21:14Tell it to him.
21:25Don't plan on winning anything around here, pal.
21:28Because I'm going to see to it that you don't.
21:34Hi.
21:36How you doing?
21:37Look, I'm...
21:38I'm sorry I got so uptight before.
21:40Oh, forget it.
21:42It's just like I said, it'd be a pity for you
21:45to get thrown out now when you're so close to winning.
21:47How come you're so concerned for your competition?
21:49Well, I'm not...
21:51I'm not really your competition.
21:53My name's Bosley, John Bosley.
21:55I'm an agent.
21:57You're an agent?
21:58You mean a theatrical agent?
22:00Yeah, that's right.
22:01I heard there were some very talented dancers down here,
22:04so I came down to take a look.
22:06You handle dancers?
22:07Yeah, mostly.
22:08You know, for TV and films.
22:10As a matter of fact, there's a picture in the works right now.
22:13A period piece.
22:14They're planning to use a couple of dancers
22:16in some featured roles,
22:17and they want to go with unknowns.
22:19Hey, look, I'm really sorry I got so hot before.
22:22Oh, forget that.
22:23The point is, I'll be watching you.
22:25Oh, also, somebody told me to watch another couple.
22:29A young lady with blonde hair dances with her brother.
22:33I think the name was Farragate.
22:35Farragate?
22:36Yeah, Joe and Sally.
22:38Joe and Sally Farragate.
22:40Have you seen them? I heard they're very good.
22:42I know the couple you mean.
22:44They are very good,
22:45but I haven't seen them since last night.
22:47Oh, well, I'm sure they'll show up.
22:49Good luck to you.
22:51Wait a minute, listen.
22:52What am I thinking of?
22:53Where are you kids from? What are your names?
22:55Oh, this is Steve Ames, and I'm Jenny Wills.
22:57We're from New York.
22:58Ames and Wills.
22:59It's got a nice ring to it.
23:01I'll see you later.
23:03It was nice meeting you.
23:06That was really stupid.
23:08What are you talking about?
23:09Telling them about how good the other couple was.
23:12I thought we had an agreement.
23:13You were going to start acting civilized.
23:15Hey, listen, listen.
23:16Wait a minute, maybe you forgot
23:18about the dives we worked in before we got here,
23:20but I haven't,
23:21so I'm not interested in being a good sport
23:23or a good loser
23:24or about being civilized to anyone who gets in my way
23:27for any reason, you understand?
23:29What I understand is if you don't let go of me,
23:31I'm going to take that walk out of here.
23:33I wouldn't do it, Jenny.
23:35Are you threatening me?
23:37I'm just telling you how it is.
23:39Now, you're not going to go soft on me
23:41and mess me up, all right?
23:42Nobody's going to mess me up, you understand?
23:45Nobody.
23:50♪♪
24:18Aah!
24:19♪♪
24:28♪♪
24:34♪♪
24:43♪♪
24:53♪♪
25:03♪♪
25:13♪♪
25:23♪♪
25:33♪♪
25:41Your couple number six, she doesn't smile much.
25:44No, she's cool,
25:46and he's like a bomb ready to go off.
25:49I think I will run our Mr. Ames and Miss Wills
25:52from New York through Charlie's computer.
25:56Oh, I'm sorry I was detained.
26:00Garrett, right?
26:02Yes, Kelly Garrett.
26:04Sit down.
26:05Thank you.
26:06I saw you when you came in.
26:08You, uh, you came in with the blonde
26:10and the couple who've been dancing, right?
26:12Well, you're very observant.
26:14I understand that you and Mr. Norman run this place.
26:17Yes, I do.
26:19And I'm glad you're here.
26:22I understand that you and Mr. Norman run this place.
26:25Who told you that?
26:26I can't remember.
26:28But you two are partners, right?
26:31In this venture, yes.
26:33By the way, what's the point of this venture, Mr. Wilks?
26:37Well, the point of this venture, Miss Garrett, is promotion.
26:40This place, like this neighborhood,
26:42has been going steadily downhill.
26:44I figure if I can get it on its feet
26:46with this dance contest gimmick,
26:48I can make a little money,
26:50make it a paying proposition.
26:52Hmm.
26:53Then it wouldn't look too good
26:55if Sally and her brother got the most votes.
26:57What?
26:58My friend Sally Fairgate.
27:00She and her brother entered your contest.
27:05Fairgate?
27:07Well, you know, uh, Fairgate Oil Refineries,
27:10Fairgate Meatpacking, Fairgate Financiers.
27:13Point is, I don't think you would have drummed up
27:16much local business in this place
27:18if two of the richest people in the country
27:20waltzed off with a $5,000 prize.
27:23No. No, I suppose not.
27:25Anyway, Sally felt really bad about it,
27:29so she and her brother are dropping out of the contest.
27:33When did she tell you this?
27:35A few minutes ago. I talked to her at her home.
27:38You spoke to her?
27:40Yes, and she wanted me to tell you her feelings.
27:43And that's why you wanted to see me?
27:46Right.
27:47Anyway, good luck.
27:49I hope you and Mr. Norman make it all happen.
27:52Thank you.
27:53Thank you.
27:54Thank you.
28:15She said she talked to Sally Fairgate?
28:18That's what she said.
28:19She said she talked to her on the telephone
28:20just a few minutes ago.
28:23Well, since we know that's impossible,
28:26the next question is, why is Miss Garrett lying?
28:29I don't know why she's lying.
28:30All I know is I don't like it.
28:31Now, this Garrett lady and those three people she came in with
28:34are definitely up to something,
28:35and I know it's no good for us, I can tell you that.
28:38The blonde.
28:40She mentioned Miss Fairgate to me a little while ago.
28:42Mr. Wilkes is frowning rather heavily.
28:44What did you say to him?
28:46I told him I talked to Sally Fairgate a few minutes ago.
28:49Well, he's acting like he knows Miss Fairgate is dead.
28:52And since we and her brother and the police
28:54are the only ones who are supposed to know...
28:56How come he's so upset?
28:59It looks like he's discussing it with Mr. Norman.
29:02Maybe Mr. Norman will discuss it with you.
29:05Well, he said he wanted to buy me a drink.
29:07I guess I'll hang in here.
29:09Okay.
29:14I better find out what kind of head game
29:15Miss Garrett and her friends are playing.
29:17You get back to your office and keep your mouth shut.
29:31Get out numbers 21, 28, 32, 43, and 54.
29:38Billy?
29:44Billy?
29:48Hello.
29:50I think it's time you start leveling with me, doll.
29:54Doll?
29:56Again with the old movie dialogue.
29:58Never mind the dialogue. Let's get to the plot.
30:01What are you and your three friends doing here?
30:03I thought we were dancing.
30:05You were asking me questions about a Miss Sally Fairgate.
30:07Then Miss Garrett said she called her on the phone.
30:10She's a mutual friend. What's the problem?
30:12The problem is I want to know why you keep talking.
30:15I just told you, she's a friend.
30:18Why don't you and I take a little walk?
30:21Who are we doing now?
30:23Bogey? Cagney?
30:25Look, I'm getting a little tired of this macho routine.
30:27Listen, I get every dime I own in this little piece of promotion.
30:31So I ain't about to let anybody miss it.
30:33Now let you and I go somewhere private and get some answers.
30:37It's a hard way to make a fast, easy buck.
30:39Yeah.
30:44Have you seen Bosley?
30:46He doesn't speak.
30:48He's a good man.
30:50He's a good man.
30:52He's a good man.
30:54He's a good man.
30:56He's a good man.
30:58He's a good man.
31:00He's a good man.
31:02He's a good man.
31:04Even as you speak.
31:06Hi.
31:08Charlie's computer come up with anything on our dynamic dance duo?
31:11Oh, yes. As a matter of fact, some very interesting stuff on Stephen Ames.
31:17Only 24 and he already has a record the length of your arm with the New York Police Department.
31:22Such as?
31:24Yeah, starting when he was 16, petty theft, grand theft auto, petty larceny, along with two visits to the county jail.
31:30Anything current?
31:32Very current. Right now he's wanted for questioning in regards to his partner, Jenny Wills.
31:38Seems that there's been a missing persons report filed on her by her parents. She's only 17 years old.
31:44Just the kind of fellow you want your daughter to run off with.
31:47Yeah. Oh, and as a matter of fact, I forgot to mention, he's been arrested twice on assault and battery charges.
31:54Let's not dance too close to him.
31:56Good idea. Have you seen Chris?
31:59I saw Al Norman leading her toward P.J. Wilks' office. He looked very grim.
32:03She's not back here in five minutes. I think we should see if she needs a hand.
32:07All right.
32:08Meet you back here in five minutes.
32:10All right. Come on, dear.
32:25Betty, what's wrong?
32:27It's Billy.
32:28What?
32:30Billy, he's lying out there. I think he's dead.
32:35Come on, let's go.
32:44When Billy didn't come back after the break, I went looking for him.
32:49Oh, God, it's awful.
32:58Betty, I've got to ask you some questions.
33:01I think we'd better call the police.
33:03We will, but first you've got to talk to me.
33:05Did you see anyone back here before you found Billy's body?
33:11I don't know. I don't remember.
33:14It's important.
33:16Uh, no, no. I don't remember.
33:21I don't know. I don't remember.
33:24Uh, no, no. I didn't see anyone.
33:29No one walking in the area?
33:32No.
33:33You're sure?
33:34I'm not sure of anything. Why don't we call the police?
33:38Why do you keep asking me these questions?
33:40Betty, I'm a private detective.
33:42What?
33:43I'm a private detective and I'm working on a case here.
33:46I don't believe you.
33:48Look, I work for the Townsend Detective Agency.
33:54Here's my identification.
33:57A gun. You have a gun?
34:01Yes. Now do you believe me?
34:05I guess so.
34:07All right, this is what I want you to do.
34:09Go back inside and if anybody asks you you haven't seen Billy,
34:13pretend like nothing's happened.
34:15But why?
34:16Because we have a better chance of finding out who killed Billy if we do it this way.
34:21Trust me, all right?
34:24All right.
34:26Go back in and don't say anything to anyone.
34:30Go on.
34:50You startled me.
34:53I'm sorry.
34:57What are you doing?
35:06I was wrong about you, Miss Garrett.
35:10You're not a gracious lady.
35:13You're not acting very gracious yourself, Mr. Mills.
35:17I'm afraid you've made that necessary.
35:23Walk. Over there.
35:28I'd rather not.
35:34I'd rather you would.
35:52The Townsend Detective Agency
36:23Wait.
36:26In there.
36:36Sit down.
36:47A detective, huh?
36:52I thought I was a better judge of people.
36:58I suppose I'll have to dispose of you somehow.
37:07I'll have to think about this.
37:09Take all the time you need.
37:11Listen, Blondie, I'm getting impatient with you.
37:14Blondie, you know you really have got to stop saying things like that.
37:19Why are you and your friends asking questions about Miss Fairgate?
37:23Why?
37:25You really should start learning to control your temper.
37:27It could get you in so much trouble.
37:32Don't you think so?
37:50I don't get it.
37:52Kelly said she'd meet us back here in five minutes.
37:55It's not like her just to disappear.
37:57Well, maybe she stepped outside.
37:59Let's go see.
38:10Kelly?
38:12Uh-oh.
38:14That's Kelly's purse, isn't it?
38:16Yep.
38:18Minus the gun.
38:22Buzz.
38:24Huh?
38:44Oh, my God.
38:46Let's go tell Chris.
38:56Do you realize, of course, that I'm very disappointed in you?
39:02I guess I'm not the only one.
39:04Who disappointed you, I mean.
39:07Billy, too?
39:09Oh, did you hear what he said about my music?
39:12Cornball muck. Did you hear him say that?
39:15What did Sally Fairgate say about you?
39:18It's not what she said. It's what she did.
39:20Everyone was watching her. They weren't watching me.
39:23They weren't listening to my music.
39:25I listened.
39:27Yeah.
39:29Yes, you did.
39:33But you pretended to be one thing when you were something quite different.
39:38It didn't used to be that way.
39:41People were...
39:43People were more simple, direct, honest, like my music.
39:46That's why they loved me in those days.
39:49I was hoping it would be that way again, that it would all start again here.
39:55And I guess I was wrong.
40:00Nothing is simple anymore.
40:04The music and the people,
40:07they're all dissonant, ugly, ugly.
40:12I don't know.
40:19I will have to kill you, you know.
40:23When all the talk is over,
40:28I will have to kill you.
40:32Look, Mr. Norman, I'm getting pretty bored with this.
40:35I think it's time for me to go home.
40:37You'll go home when I tell you, you and your friends.
40:46Well, speak of the devil.
40:48You want to talk to Mr. Rowe?
40:50Go ahead, talk.
40:52Alone. It's rather urgent.
40:54I have a few things to say to you myself.
40:57Mr. Norman, I don't know what to say.
41:00Mr. Norman, why don't you sit down and be quiet?
41:03Well, the lady has claws.
41:06And she knows how to use them.
41:08What's happening?
41:10We just found the voice singer out back with his head caved in.
41:13We also found Kelly's purse on the ground, but no sign of Kelly.
41:17Well, you said you wanted to do some talking. Go ahead.
41:20Tell us what you know about Sally Fairgate's death and her friend's disappearance.
41:24Nothing. I don't know what you're talking about.
41:26Listen, you musical comedy mobster.
41:28I have had it with your dumb dialogue and your bad manners.
41:31And if you two are in any way involved in these killings or Miss Garrett's disappearance,
41:34we're going to string you out by your ears.
41:36We didn't kill her.
41:37Shut up, Wilkes.
41:38Well, it's the truth. We didn't.
41:40Didn't kill who?
41:41Anybody. We didn't kill anybody.
41:43We just moved the body. That's all.
41:45Whose body?
41:46Sally Fairgate.
41:48We found her dead out back,
41:50so we took her body down to the beach and we dumped it.
41:53Why? Why did you do that?
41:55Because if word ever got out that somebody had been murdered around here,
41:59this whole thing would go down the drain.
42:02Every dime we've got is sunk in this place.
42:06Well, I hate to say it, but I think I believe him.
42:09These two are just low enough to do something like that.
42:13You know what?
42:15You're right.
42:19Let's go find Kelly.
42:24Let's go.
42:38Okay, let's go walk and you listen.
42:41Look, your competitor, Miss Fairgate, has been murdered. Are you aware of that?
42:44How the devil do we know that?
42:46How about the singer you tangled with?
42:48He's lying out back with his head caved in.
42:50You know anything about that?
42:51What are you trying to pull?
42:52Those two are dead and my friend, Miss Garrett, has disappeared.
42:55I want answers to that when I'm in a hurry.
42:56Yeah, and what do you expect me to do about it, eh?
42:58I expect you to tell me what you feel you should tell me.
43:01I'll wait outside.
43:08What do you look at me like that for?
43:10You think I had anything to do with anybody getting killed?
43:13I'm just remembering what you said.
43:15Something about not letting anybody stand in your way or I'll mess you up.
43:18Yeah, I said it and I meant it then and now, all right?
43:21So just follow my lead and stop thinking about anything except the 5,000 we're gonna win.
43:25Because like I said before, that's all that counts, winning.
43:41Okay, where do we start?
43:42I think we better spread out.
43:44Check the buildings. If you find anything, just yell.
43:46All right.
43:51I'm really sorry I have to hurt you.
43:54We'll go outside and walk to the beach where no one will hear the shot.
44:22I think you better put the gun down, Mr. Mills.
44:25Right there.
44:52Well, maybe it's just as well this way.
44:58It all got out of hand somehow.
45:04All dissonant, ugly.
45:10There doesn't seem to be a place for me anymore.
45:17You know what I mean?
45:22Yeah.
45:39You all right?
45:41Yeah. You?
45:43Well, I've had my fill of dancing.
45:51I've had my fill of dancing.
46:22Jenny?
46:24Look, with the arrests and all,
46:27things have gotten a little complicated,
46:29and the police have decided to shut the place down.
46:32Shut it down?
46:34Yeah.
46:35Yes, but the ballots will be counted.
46:37And if they're counted,
46:39we'll have a chance to win.
46:41I don't think so.
46:43I don't think so either.
46:45I don't think so either.
46:47I don't think so either.
46:49Yes, but the ballots will be counted,
46:51and there will be a winner.
46:53But for the moment, there's no more dancing.
46:55When are we gonna know?
46:57In a day or two. The winners will be notified.
47:00I'm sure you two will get the most votes.
47:03Oh, by the way, Jenny,
47:05the police talked to New York about you.
47:08You know, the missing persons report?
47:10Well, your parents want you to call them.
47:13That won't be necessary.
47:15I'm going home.
47:17You're going home?
47:19On the first plane I can get.
47:21What, are you crazy?
47:23I mean, you hear what she just said?
47:25We're gonna win. The money's ours.
47:27You keep it.
47:29But this is it.
47:31I mean, we won.
47:33Hey, it's just the beginning.
47:35From here on, we move. We'll get it all.
47:37You get it all.
47:39As far as I'm concerned, it costs too much.
47:48Hey.
47:52Who cares? I'll find someone else.
47:57Bra, is it like street cars?
47:59You know, one comes along every ten minutes.
48:09You don't think so?
48:11You'll see.
48:13A year from now, I'll have this town by the tail.
48:16You don't think so? Watch me.
48:18Just watch me.
48:20Anyone for a Foxtrot?
48:22I think I'll pass.
