00:11Mr. & Mrs. North, starring Barbara Britton and Richard Denning.
00:15♪♪
00:43♪♪
01:12Yeah. Yeah, this is Jerry North.
01:19Okay, I'll hold on.
01:21♪♪
01:27Yeah.
01:29What's that? The Mercy Hospital?
01:32Did you say my wife?
01:34The maternity ward?
01:36I'll be right there.
01:38♪♪
02:07♪♪
02:23Hello, I'm Jerry North.
02:25I got here as quick as I could. Has the baby arrived yet?
02:28Oh, no, Mr. North. It's not going to happen that quickly.
02:31Well, may I speak to my wife?
02:33I think so. Just a moment.
02:35Jerry, you're here!
02:36Oh, never mind. Thank you. Hello, darling. How's the little mother?
02:39Nancy's doing fine.
02:41I'm sorry I had you rush over. It turned out to be a false alarm.
02:44Oh, well, uh, do you still want me to hang around?
02:47Oh, yes, I think you'd better. Nancy's doctor said it could happen any moment.
02:50And the last word we got from her husband, his plane was grounded by weather in Cleveland.
02:55Oh, poor Tim. He must be going crazy.
02:58You know, as proxy father, I think I'll try to reach him at the airport and give him the latest bulletin.
03:03At least he'll know friends are standing by if Nancy needs him.
03:06A very worthy thought. I'll go keep Nancy company.
03:08Okay. Bye.
03:22Hello, operator. Uh, I'd like to place a person-to-person call to Mr. Tim O'Connor.
03:27Uh, he'll be in the, uh, Cleveland Airport waiting room.
03:30May I have him page, please? Thank you.
03:38Oh, I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking.
03:42I can't wait. I gotta get back to my shop.
03:50Uh, your wife's in here, too, huh?
03:55Shows in your face.
03:57You got things on your mind.
03:59Well, I mean, it shows.
04:01Oh, I knew what was with you the second I laid eyes on you.
04:06My name's Bronson, Dave Bronson, uh, painting and plastering.
04:10Hiya.
04:13Uh, they took Min up on the third floor this morning.
04:17She's got a lot of pain.
04:19Tough.
04:21Yeah.
04:22Uh, you can't tell about a woman, though. It may be indigestion.
04:27Well, it's, uh, been nice, nice talking to you.
04:32I hope you get what you want.
04:35Uh, oh, say, look, uh, take one of my cards in case you ever need any plastering done.
04:41So long.
04:43Yeah.
04:46Now, look, Tim, don't worry about a thing. Everything's gonna be okay.
04:49Yeah. I'll call you the minute anything happens.
04:51Right.
04:53I'm sorry to keep you waiting.
04:55Long distance.
04:56Okay.
05:16They're working on him. He's still alive.
05:19That's what I'm here for.
05:22Don't worry about it.
05:25Yeah.
05:55I always do. I always do.
06:21All right, all right.
06:26Say, if The Brodsky lasts another five minutes, we gotta start another pool.
06:34I always do. I always do.
06:50I always do. I always do.
07:16What are you doing in here?
07:18You reporters are supposed to wait in the corridor.
07:21We'll notify you if anything goes wrong in there.
07:24So I thought I'd scoop those other monkeys.
07:27Maybe we can make a deal.
07:28No deal. And you can't smoke in here. You'll have to get out.
07:32Okay, Doc. I'll go.
07:34Hold it.
07:56Hey, wait.
07:58Wait.
08:00Wait.
08:02Hey, wait a minute. This isn't it.
08:05This is the third floor.
08:11Hello. May I help you?
08:13What's this place?
08:14A waiting room.
08:15Yeah, I know. But for what?
08:17Laboring fathers.
08:19This is the maternity floor.
08:21Is that what you're looking for?
08:23Yeah, yeah. Sure.
08:24I guess I'm kind of nervous.
08:25You have a lot of company.
08:27What's your wife's name and her room number?
08:32Reception room, third floor. Yes.
08:36I'm sorry.
08:37Okay, friend.
08:39Have a snort.
08:40No, thanks.
08:42Hey, you read about this?
08:49I saw it happen.
08:51You what?
08:52Yeah, the witness. What's his name?
08:54Oh, yeah. Dubronsky.
08:55I was passing his place when they got him.
08:57Why don't you tell me all about it?
08:59Well, Dubronsky was just getting into his car and wham, wham, he got it.
09:03Yeah, I guess I can finger the trigger man, as they say in these gangster pictures.
09:06I'll bet you could at that.
09:07I'll bet there's a reward in everything. Pictures in the paper.
09:10You'd be really living, wouldn't you?
09:12Hey, they got Dubronsky right here in this hospital.
09:14Did you know that?
09:15No kidding?
09:16Yeah, it's a fact.
09:17Mr. Harper.
09:19Yes, miss?
09:21You've another lovely little lady in your family.
09:24What did I tell you?
09:26Can I see my wife now?
09:32He was telling us just before you came in,
09:34he has six more little girls waiting at home.
09:36That's making seven the hard way.
09:38It's getting late.
09:39What are the visiting hours around here?
09:40Oh, don't worry about that.
09:41This floor is open for business 24 hours a day.
09:44Oh, hello, darling.
09:45How are you doing, darling?
09:46Simply great.
09:47Say, did you know that the principal of this hospital
09:49is a woman named Mary?
09:51Simply great.
09:52Say, did you know that the principal industry
09:54of the Republic of Andorra is smuggling?
09:56Really?
09:57How fascinating.
09:59Nancy just got a wire from Tim.
10:01The weather's cleared and he's on his way again.
10:03Oh, good.
10:04Any news from Tim Jr.?
10:05Well, he seems to be waiting for Tim Sr.,
10:07but he could change his mind any moment.
10:10Do you think it would be all right
10:11if I popped in for a minute and said hello to Nancy?
10:13Oh, I think so.
10:14But first, may I use the phone to call the florist?
10:16Yes.
10:22Hello, Tony.
10:23This is Mrs. Norris.
10:24Will you send two dozen roses to Mrs. Timothy O'Connor
10:27at Mercy Hospital?
10:32Mister, I'm sorry,
10:34but I don't believe you've ever given me your name.
10:36Bronson.
10:37Dave Bronson.
10:39And your wife's name?
10:40Her first name is Mr. Bronson.
10:41Name's Min.
10:44Mr. Bronson,
10:45I'm sorry, but I don't believe you've ever given me your name.
10:47Bronson.
10:48Dave Bronson.
10:51Pam, what are you staring at that man for?
10:53Do you think you know who he is?
10:55No, Jerry, but I'm positive I know who he isn't.
10:57He is not Dave Bronson.
10:59No?
11:00Jerry, Mrs. Bronson must be 60 years old,
11:02and she's in here for an appendectomy.
11:04So?
11:05Well, that man who says he's her husband
11:07can't be more than 30.
11:08Well, as long as he's over 21,
11:10there's nothing I can do about it.
11:11Look, I was going to look in on Nancy, remember?
11:16Jerry, I don't care what you say.
11:17There's something odd going on around here.
11:19Odd?
11:20What are you talking about?
11:21It's a perfectly natural thing.
11:22Goes on all the time.
11:24That isn't what I was talking about.
11:26I mean that man who calls himself Bronson.
11:28Look, you're here to keep Nancy company.
11:30Now, why don't you just this once
11:32stop looking for mysteries, huh?
11:33I didn't look for it, Jerry.
11:35Or can't we go and talk to that Mr. Bronson
11:37or whatever his name is?
11:38All right, darling.
11:39Come on.
11:44Well, he's not here.
11:45Now, may I say a word of cheer to Nancy?
11:50Hey.
11:53You still here?
11:56You better get upstairs.
11:57The Dabrowski story's about to break.
12:00He's going to pull through?
12:01One way or the other, any time now.
12:04Thanks.
12:13If there was ever a heart retread, that was it.
12:16You going to be all right, Doctor?
12:18His heart's the strongest in the room,
12:20allowing for healing.
12:24How's he going to be, Doctor?
12:25The operation's successful, Doctor.
12:27Hold it.
12:28Wait a minute, Orderly.
12:29Wait a minute.
12:31We decided to take him down to the maternity floor
12:33on the freight elevator.
12:41Good idea to stash that man on the maternity floor.
12:44Yeah, Chief Inspector's orders.
12:46Except there'd be another attempt under Fransky.
13:17Well, hello.
13:18Thought you'd taken off.
13:19Went down for some smokes and walked around the block.
13:22It's going to be a long night.
13:23Yeah.
13:24Mallory's the name.
13:25C.S.
13:26Wife's name, Lucy.
13:27Just brought her in.
13:28Thank you, Mr. Mallory.
13:30Hey, take it easy, chum.
13:31You'll last longer.
13:33You shoot a little casino?
13:34Helps pass the time.
13:36You know, I'm an old China hand at this racket.
13:38I've got a lot of money,
13:39and I've got a lot of friends.
13:40I've got a lot of friends.
13:41I've got a lot of friends.
13:42I've got a lot of friends.
13:43I've got a lot of friends.
13:44I've got a lot of friends.
13:45I'm an old China hand at this racket.
13:46My third time around.
13:50Believe me, you don't want to think what's happening.
13:52That's strictly up to the docs and your wife.
13:56Join us, chum?
13:57Sure.
13:58Thanks.
14:00Hey, I've seen you before someplace.
14:03Never forget a face.
14:04Could be.
14:05You look familiar to me, too.
14:06You don't write books or anything, do you?
14:09I'm a publisher.
14:10Thought we might have met at one of those literary teas.
14:12Brother, you're way out in left fields.
14:15Didn't come to me.
14:17Hey, it's hot in here.
14:19Oh, that's an idea.
14:25Hey, why don't you take off your coat, chum?
14:28No, I'm all right.
14:34Oh, hi, Pam.
14:37Any news from the home front?
14:38They just took her down.
14:39It'll be any time now.
14:42Gentlemen, this is my wife.
14:43Oh, I know you.
14:45You've worked with our friend, Lieutenant Bill Wigand.
14:47Now, don't tell me it's Sergeant, um...
14:49Sergeant Mallory.
14:51Sure.
14:52It's your Mr. and Mrs. North.
14:54I never forget a face.
14:55Neither does Mallory.
14:58Are you a detective, too, Mr., um...
15:00Bronson.
15:01No.
15:02Bronson.
15:03Oh, are you Min Bronson's husband?
15:05That's right.
15:06Oh, isn't that nice?
15:07I met Mrs. Bronson this morning.
15:09Are you hoping for a girl or a boy, Mr. Bronson?
15:12A boy, I guess.
15:13We got a girl.
15:14Same here.
15:15And double.
15:16Oh, you're not here on duty, then, Sergeant?
15:18I wish I were.
15:19It'd be a lot easier on Mrs. Mallory.
15:21Oh, Mr. Mallory.
15:22Coming, Miss.
15:23Excuse me.
15:26He wanted downstairs.
15:27Oh.
15:37Oh, I'm sorry.
15:38That's okay.
15:45Would you like to treat me to some coffee and donuts?
15:48Oh, sure, darling.
15:54Well, see you later, Mr. Bronson.
16:03What's the matter?
16:04That man is carrying a gun.
16:06Are you sure?
16:07Part of it.
16:08Well, maybe he's an officer.
16:10He can't be.
16:11Mallory would have known him.
16:12Well, not if he's an undercover agent.
16:14Mallory, I've got to find him.
16:16You go back and keep an eye on that Bronson or whatever his name is.
16:19Be careful.
16:20Be careful?
16:22Hey, Pam, wait a minute.
16:26What's the matter?
16:27No coffee?
16:28Uh, no.
16:29No coffee.
16:42Well, uh, see, I guess it's my deal, isn't it?
16:45Let it go.
16:46I think I'll stretch my legs.
16:47Wait.
16:48I'll stroll along with you.
17:06What are you watching me for?
17:33Who, me?
17:34They're going to jump me, aren't you?
17:35No, no, I'm feeling fine.
17:37Look at your hands.
17:43How did I do that?
18:05It's all right.

21:19Well, that's funny.
21:20Well, thanks very much.
21:21for you I got a fake telephone call I kind of figured.
21:43What were you doing in that room?
21:45Been seeing my missus.
21:46What?
21:48You mean Mrs. Bronson?
21:49Yeah.
21:50But you're not Mr. Bronson.
21:51Besides, that isn't her room.
21:53You're wrong on both counts.
21:55Come on.
21:57I want you to say hello, Mrs. Bronson.
21:58Oh, no, that won't hurt.
22:00She'd be happy to see you.
22:10You want to see Mrs. Bronson?
22:13Well, she's right over there.
22:15I don't think you want to see Mrs. Bronson, because she's dead.
22:22Get over there.
22:36Hold it right there.
22:39All right, now get away from the door.
22:45Get away from the door.
22:55Get back.
23:00Don't make a false move, cop.
23:10Look out!
23:16Harry!
23:18Nice going, Mr. North.
23:19What happened?
23:20Did he kill Dubronsky?
23:21No, not even close.
23:22He moved Dubronsky to the sixth floor right after we got that tip from your wife.
23:26That guy just murdered a whole flock of pillows.
23:31Say, I'm sorry I couldn't give you the lowdown sooner, Mr. North, but time was running out.
23:35He still sprung the trap before we were set for him.
23:38So long.
23:45Hi, Dad.
23:46Hi, Terry.
23:47Is it all over?
23:48Oh, not for you, boy.
23:49It's just beginning.
23:50Formulas, diaper services, no sleep.
23:52Congratulations, Jim.
23:53Thanks, Pam.
23:54How's Nancy?
23:55She's fine and sleeping like a baby.
23:57Let's let her rest a while, huh?
23:58Oh, sure, sure.
23:59Holy smokes.
23:59How's the baby?
24:00Yeah, he, or it.
