05:50And we here at the agency feel that the format suggested for your television show by Mr. Lane personally is...
06:00Come in.
06:05I was wondering if you'd have a moment to look at these before you left, Mrs. Lane.
06:10All right. That'll be all, Ellen. I'll finish that tomorrow.
06:20You've got to be careful. Someone might walk in.
06:23Oh, let them. I've gotten to a point where I'm past caring by now.
06:26I'm a big boy now, and I like this setup even less than you do.
06:30Why won't you let me talk to Gordon?
06:32No. You've got to be patient. We've got to wait.
06:35Wait? But how long? Mary and I don't want to be cruel, but let's face the facts.
06:39Your marriage to Gordon was washed up long before his accident.
06:42What's the matter, honey? Don't you like the way things are now?
06:45Well, a good part of the time I feel like a heel, and Mary and I don't like that feeling.
06:52How do you feel now?
06:56I'm still alive.
07:02You mustn't be so eager, Marion.
07:05I'll go prepare dinner.
07:07It's about time. You're late.
07:09Yes.
07:11I'll be back in a minute.
07:14I'll be back in a minute.
07:17I'll be back in a minute.
07:20I'll be back in a minute.
07:22I'll be back in a minute.
07:24Yes. I had to put in a little overtime.
07:27Of course.
07:29How is Barry these days? Good?
07:33Never better. Why?
07:36Morbid curiosity, I guess.
07:39Tell me, Marion.
07:41How does he square this, uh...
07:44this activity with his otherwise noble nature?
07:47He suffers. Type of thing you couldn't understand.
07:50Any more questions?
07:52Yeah, I don't think so.
07:54The senator called for a full investigation.
07:57Quote, let the tips fall where they may. Unquote.
08:01Well, here's a story about the new Paris fashion. Shall I read that to you?
08:04Oh, no. No, thanks, ma'am.
08:06Oh, can I get you some more?
08:08Would you mind? Marion keeps quarts of the stuff in the refrigerator.
08:11Fruit juice coming up.
08:13Uh, Pam.
08:15Yes?
08:16Isn't one of the pistols missing from that wall? I can't see too well from over here.
08:21Well...
08:23I wouldn't know. Are there supposed to be two?
08:26Yes.
08:28That's odd.
08:30I'll ask Marion about it.
08:33She may have taken it down for some reason.
08:51Uh, Barry Weston, please.
08:56Hello, Barry.
08:58Gordon Lane.
09:00Ah, as usual.
09:02And how are you?
09:04Ah, good.
09:06Uh, Barry.
09:08Are you, uh...
09:10Are you free this evening?
09:12I made no plans. Why?
09:14Well, uh...
09:16I see.
09:18All right, Gordon. I'll...
09:20I'll drive home with Marion.
09:22Goodbye.
09:28There's no reason to keep your dinner guest waiting, Pam.
09:31Especially when he's a cop.
09:33Why don't you just take off?
09:34Oh, I don't know.
09:35No, no, no. It's all right.
09:37Anyway, young lady, you're fired.
09:39What?
09:40You're fired.
09:42No, it's all right.
09:44Anyway, young lady, you're fired.
09:46Well, if I'd known this wasn't gonna be a steady work.
09:48Oh, wait.
09:50Marion, just give it.
09:53Come on up, dear.
09:55And bring Barry with you.
09:58I'm gonna give you the finest of references, Pam.
10:01Oh, you've really been wonderful.
10:03Uh...
10:11Pam, you know Barry Weston?
10:13He's our art director. Also an old friend.
10:15Barry, this is Mrs. North.
10:17How do you do, Mrs. North?
10:18How do you do?
10:19Barry!
10:21Come over here and say hello to the invalid.
10:23Excuse me, please.
10:25Gordon just gave me the sack.
10:27What?
10:28Oh, of course.
10:30I'll phone you soon.
10:32We'll have lunch, a date.
10:34Goodbye, Gordon, Mr. Weston.
10:36Goodbye, Pam.
10:39Barry is gonna stay and have dinner with us, dear.
10:42Isn't that nice?
10:44Well, if I won't be too much trouble.
10:46Oh, nonsense. No trouble at all.
10:48Is it, Marion?
10:50No, but I'll get things started.
10:52May I help?
10:54Stay here and keep me company.
10:56Too many cooks, you know.
10:58Run along, Marion.
11:03Well, you...
11:05You're looking much better, Gordon.
11:07You're a liar.
11:09I look like a refugee from a horror picture.
11:11Oh, I mean it.
11:13Why, the last time I saw you...
11:15I was flat on my back, and I still am.
11:17Yeah, but enough of that.
11:19Tell me, how is the gay young bachelor doing these days?
11:22Well, I've been working pretty hard lately.
11:24I haven't had much time for playing around, you know.
11:27You wouldn't try to kid your old boss, would you?
11:30No, no, I mean it, really.
11:32You know, Barry...
11:34You ought to find some nice girl and get married.
11:36Settle down.
11:38It'd be the best thing in the world for you.
11:40I've been thinking about it.
11:42Oh, you ought to quit thinking about it,
11:44or you never will get married.
11:46I'll tell you what.
11:48You get yourself a wife,
11:50and I'll give you a nice, big, fat increase
11:52in salary as a wedding present.
11:54How's that?
11:56Well, that's very kind of you.
11:58Well, I'm glad to do it.
12:06So, Barry, have you been a cigarette?
12:08No, I...
12:10Oh, yes.
12:12I almost forgot.
12:14You're the athletic type, aren't you?
12:16Can I get you some?
12:18Would you mind?
12:20Ask Marion. She knows where they are.
12:22I'll be right back.
12:24Oh, take your time, Barry.
12:26Take your time, Barry.
12:44He wants some cigarettes.
12:46Come on.
12:56Just a minute.
12:58Yes?
13:00What's the matter?
13:02Nothing, nothing.
13:04Oh, yes, there is.
13:06What's he been saying to you?
13:08Come on, let's have it.
13:10He's up to something.
13:12I knew it when he telephoned you.
13:14Listen.
13:16He's a spoiler.
13:18He ruins everything he touches.
13:20He's going to ruin us.
13:22You're dramatizing this a little?
13:24What could he possibly do to us?
13:26I don't know.
13:28But I'm sure he's got it all figured out.
13:30And it won't be good.
13:32Lying there in bed, plotting, scheming.
13:36We've got to do something about it.
13:38What do you mean?
13:40You know what I mean.
13:44I can't believe that you...
13:46You want me, don't you?
13:48Prove it.
13:50Hey, what's keeping you?
13:54What is it?
13:56Send Barry up.
13:58I want my cigarettes.
14:00He's on his way.
14:04Don't look at me like that.
14:06I don't think I've ever really looked at you before.
14:10Get out of here.
14:12Go on, run his errands.
14:14Crawl away.
14:20If you tell him.
14:26Oh, doesn't that look wonderful?
14:28Mm-hmm.
14:30I always carve thick slices for hungry policemen
14:32and starving publishers.
14:34What about famished wives?
14:36I keep them hungry.
14:38It's good for their figures.
14:40What's the matter with my figure?
14:46North residence.
14:48Cinderella speaking.
14:50Yes, he's here.
14:52It's for you, Bill.
14:54They didn't sound very playful.
14:58Wagon speaking.
15:00When?
15:02Oh, I see.
15:04What was that address again?
15:06Uh-huh.
15:08143...
15:10No.
15:12Apartment...
15:1412J.
15:16Right, I'm on my way.
15:18You can have my share, Peg.
15:20Duty calls.
15:22What did you say that address was?
15:24143 Donald Street, apartment 12J.
15:26Say, that's right in your neighborhood.
15:28A homicide?
15:30Well, they wouldn't call me about a traffic violation.
15:32Why?
15:34Well, who was the... I mean, what was the name of...
15:36Of the corpse?
15:38A fella by the name of, uh, Weston.
15:40Barry Weston?
15:42Yes, Barry Weston.
15:46Yes.
15:48I knew one of the guns was missing, Lieutenant.
15:50Pam North didn't take it.
15:52Obviously, I couldn't have.
15:54I see.
15:56That leaves your wife.
15:58Have you any idea of her motive?
16:00I... I can't say.
16:02Oh, come on, Mr. Lane.
16:04That gun was used to murder a man.
16:06His body's still lying at the foot of those stairs.
16:08Please, Lieutenant.
16:10I loved Marion.
16:12I still love her.
16:14You called the police and said your life was in danger.
16:16What did you mean by that?
16:18I was excited and frightened.
16:20Why?
16:22Well, I heard the shots.
16:24And you thought you were going to be next, huh?
16:28Yes.
16:30Barry had just left here.
16:32He... He'd gone to get some...
16:34Something for me.
16:36Never came back.
16:40She must have been outside, listening.
16:42Listening to what?
16:44He was trying to warn me.
16:46I wouldn't believe him.
16:50He said she was going to kill me.
16:52He said that she'd asked
16:54Kim to help her.
16:56We argued.
16:58I called him a liar.
17:02Poor Barry.
17:04It's my fault.
17:06It's all my fault.
17:08Now, take it easy, Mr. Lane.
17:10You're going to be all right.
17:26Lieutenant Wigand, let me speak to Acton.
17:28Or Ralph?
17:30Bill.
17:32Bill.
17:34Bill.
17:36Bill.
17:38Bill.
17:40Bill.
17:42Bill.
17:44Bill.
17:46Bill.
17:48Bill.
17:50Bill.
17:52Bill.
17:54Or Ralph?
17:56Bill. Did you get a report on those prints?
17:58Yeah, the ones on the gun.
18:02I see.
18:04Okay, thanks.
18:06You better give me a blow-up of them.
18:08Right.
18:14I'm taking you in for further questioning, Mrs. Lane.
18:16Why?
18:18I told you how it must have happened.
18:20Gordon killed him.
18:22You also told me that your husband
18:24is unable to get out of bed,
18:26and the doctor verified this.
18:28I don't know how he did it.
18:30I just know that somehow, someway, he killed him.
18:32According to our fingerprint experts,
18:34your prints were on that gun.
18:36Can you explain that?
18:38Well, I must have picked it up.
18:40I heard the shots, and I rushed in here from the kitchen.
18:42When I saw Barry lying there,
18:44I don't remember what I did.
18:46You better come along with me, Mrs. Lane.
18:48Call the morgue boys.
18:50Mr. Lane, you're alone.
18:52Yeah.
18:54Of course, I can make arrangements for a department nurse.
18:56Well, his regular nurse will be back from out of town this evening.
18:58Jerry can go pick her up while I stand by.
19:00Well, that's very nice of you, Pam, but I...
19:02Well, I don't mind.
19:04Miss Halsey's coming in on the 1130 from Pittsburgh?
19:06Yes, that's right, the 1130.
19:08Go ahead, Bill. It'll be okay.
19:10Would you like me to phone your lawyer for you?
19:12We'll both be down
19:14as soon as Miss Halsey gets here, Marion.
19:16Come along, Mrs. Lane.
19:20I came back because I thought
19:22you might want to see this.
19:24There was a newsboy downstairs, and I...
19:26Thanks, darling, but you'd better hurry
19:28if you're going to meet that train.
19:30Oh, I'll make it.
19:32You know, I'm not too crazy about the idea
19:34of leaving you here alone.
19:36Oh, don't be silly. Just go on and pick up the nurse
19:38and get back here as soon as you can.
19:40Okay.
19:42Pam!
19:44Are you down there?
19:46Pam?
19:50Yes, Gordon, what is it?
19:52What's happening?
19:54What's going on? Did someone just come in?
19:56Just a minute, Gordon.
19:58I'm coming up.
20:04Where's Jerry?
20:06Jerry just left to pick up Miss Halsey.
20:08There's no one here.
20:10He brought me this.
20:12There's a story in it about the murder.
20:14What does it say?
20:16Oh, I just glanced at it. It's nothing, really.
20:18Read it to me, Pam, please.
20:20Gordon, it's just a collection of wild guesses.
20:22It was obviously dashed off in a hurry
20:24by a reporter who wanted to cook up a juicy...
20:26Oh, my goodness!
20:28What is it?
20:30I just remembered I left a pot of coffee
20:32perking in the kitchen.
20:34I'll be right back.
20:40I'll be right back.
21:04This should be good if you like strong coffee.
21:06Jerry always says that...
21:10He says you might as well drink hot water.
21:12Excuse me.
21:14There's something I have to do.
21:20And he did all that without getting out of bed?
21:22Oh, I don't know.
21:24Please let me alone.
21:28I thought I told you to hold all calls.
21:30What?
21:32I thought I told you to hold all calls.
21:34I thought I told you to hold all calls.
21:36I thought I told you to hold all calls.
21:38Now Mrs. North?
21:40She says it's urgent?
21:42All right, put her on.
21:44Bill?
21:46Oh, thank heavens.
21:48Bill, he can walk.
21:50He doesn't know I know it, but I know it
21:52because I know the newspaper couldn't have...
21:58Bill, no, wait a minute.
22:00The newspaper was...
22:02Now, just a minute, Pam.
22:04Pam, will you wait a minute?
22:06Does your husband have an extension phone in his room?
22:08Yes, he does.
22:10Pam, look, I'm busy right now.
22:12No, I can't be bothered.
22:14Bill, wait.
22:16I'm trying to tell you.
22:18Gordon can walk.
22:20Bill, no, wait a minute.
22:22The newspaper was...
22:24Bill, are you there?
22:30He'll never make it.
22:32Gordon, don't.
22:34Why not, Pam?
22:36If I kill you, my alibi's still good.
23:04Oh!
23:34Hold it!
23:38It's too bad, Pam,
23:40that it has to be you.
23:42I...
23:44I wish it were Marion.
23:46Gordon.
23:52Gordon, listen.
23:56Gordon.
23:58You can't.
24:04Gordon.
24:12You understand, Pam?
24:14I had to hang up on you
24:16because I knew he'd be listening in.
24:18I got a radio prowl car here
24:20as fast as I could.
24:22It's all right now.
24:24I feel...
24:26Excuse me.
24:28Hi.
24:30What happened?
24:32Well, I tried to phone you a while back,
24:34but there was no answer.
24:36Who hit you?
24:38Miss Halsey.
24:40That is, I thought it was Miss Halsey.
24:42She's Gordon Lane's nurse.
24:44Only this woman turned out to be
24:46a lady riveter from Altoona,
24:48and she thought I was a masher.
24:50Oh, I think her handbag must have been
24:52full of samples of her work.
24:54But how? Why?
24:56I should have phoned you.
24:58Oh, what a mess.
25:00I hope you haven't been having any trouble around here.
25:02No, darling.
25:04Not when I compare it with what you've been through.
25:06Ha, ha, ha.
