00:01:30The End
00:01:59Holy smoke, it's the new district attorney.
00:02:08Yeah, and his wife.
00:02:09What could they be doing, riding in the same car with an escaped killer like Dixie Logan?
00:02:13I don't know.
00:02:21Do I have to talk a little?
00:02:24Why?
00:02:27Why don't you ask Larry?
00:02:31Why?
00:02:31Marion.
00:02:35Marion.
00:02:38Marion.
00:02:39Marion.
00:02:39Marion.
00:02:39Here he comes.
00:02:41Good evening, Mr. Forsyte.
00:02:43What does Merindale have to say?
00:02:45Nothing.
00:02:47She's unable to talk.
00:02:49But the mission is very critical.
00:02:51Yes, sir.
00:02:53Yes, sir.
00:02:55Yes, sir.
00:02:57Yes, sir.

00:03:04Yes, sir.
00:03:05Yes, sir.
00:03:06Yes, sir.
00:03:07That condition is very critical.
00:03:09Does she know her husband's dead?
00:03:10Not yet.
00:03:11If only not, it's going to be tough on her.
00:03:13They were crazy about each other.
00:03:15Yes, they were.
00:03:16Tell us, what gives on the district attorney spot now?
00:03:19I shall continue as district attorney until my successor is named.
00:03:23That's all I can say now, so if you'll excuse me.
00:03:26Thanks, Mr. Forsyte.
00:03:28Good night.

00:07:10Uh-uh.
00:07:12Too long.
00:07:14The whole town's yelling for the lowdown.
00:07:17They could ask Larry.
00:07:19Or could they?
00:07:20No.
00:07:22You see...
00:07:23You mean he's dead?
00:07:26Yes, he is, honey.
00:07:28I knew it had to be that way.
00:07:32And Dixie Logan?
00:07:36He's dead, too.
00:07:40So there's just you now.
00:07:42You'll have to tell.
00:07:44Maybe later.
00:07:46Just you.
00:07:48Exclusive.
00:07:50You always were exclusive, honey.
00:07:52I'll help you sleep.
00:08:09There's so little time.
00:08:12And so much to tell.
00:08:14It started that day.
00:08:17We...
00:08:17We met at the courthouse.
00:08:27Somebody wants something from the assistant VA.
00:08:30They call him Lucky Larry.
00:08:31Now I know why.
00:08:32Why?
00:08:32He's gonna see you.
00:08:33Know him?
00:08:34No.
00:08:34He's not bad.
00:08:35I hope not.
00:08:36What's your problem, beautiful?
00:08:38Maybe I can help.
00:08:39Who are you?
00:08:40George Mitchell.
00:08:41Mitch to my friends.
00:08:42You can call me Mitch.
00:08:44Oh, of the Tribune.
00:08:45Flattering and right.
00:08:46Sees all, knows all.
00:08:48Except for your problem.
00:08:49I'm going to ask him for a job.
00:08:50I hear he needs a new secretary.
00:08:52He does.
00:08:54And he's got one.
00:08:54What's your name?
00:08:55Marion Langdon.
00:08:56Oh, beautiful.
00:08:57Beautiful.
00:08:58But shouldn't be changed.
00:08:59The Langdon, I mean.
00:09:00Come with me, honey.
00:09:01Look at this.
00:09:04Marion, may I present your new boss, the Honorable Lawrence Dale.
00:09:07Larry, you lucky person.
00:09:08This is your new secretary, Miss Marion Langdon.
00:09:10How do you do?
00:09:13You may be right at that.
00:09:14I'm always right.
00:09:16Well, that's all for now.
00:09:16I'm taking her to dinner.
00:09:17She'll report to work at 9 a.m. tomorrow.
00:09:20Then you can work out the financial details.
00:09:21But Mr. Mitchell.
00:09:22I said Mitch to my friends.
00:09:24Oh, that's all right.
00:09:25I'll keep the job open till morning.
00:09:26Thank you, Mr. Dale.
00:09:27You'll be calling him Larry in a week.
00:09:57I'll be calling him off.
00:10:03Oh, yeah.
00:10:05Thank you, Mr. Dale.
00:10:17So, thanks.
00:10:49I hope Mr. Dale doesn't...
00:11:12Forget it. Larry wouldn't dare not give you the job.
00:11:14The powerful Mr. Mitch.
00:11:16No, beautiful.
00:11:17The powerful Tribune for which I work
00:11:20and which Larry Dale wants on his side
00:11:22by way of my column when he runs for district attorney.
00:11:25Is he going to?
00:11:26Well, he's got that look in his eye.
00:11:29John Forsyte's health just about bars him from trying again.
00:11:32Can he win?
00:11:33Maybe.
00:11:35Look, hon, you're top shelf.
00:11:37You could get a job anyplace.
00:11:39Why'd you pick on Larry Dale?
00:11:40Well, why did you see his picture in the papers?
00:11:44Yes, I saw it.
00:11:46And that profile made you come running?
00:11:48No, not his looks.
00:11:49What he did.
00:11:51You mean the Dixie Logan case?
00:11:52Yes.
00:11:53Well, that was his best show so far.
00:11:56Tell me more.
00:11:57I was there and I'd worked for lawyers.
00:12:00I wanted to see the Logan trial
00:12:02because I wanted to know more about court procedure and...
00:12:07I will prove beyond a question of a doubt
00:12:11the guilt of this ruthless, soulless criminal
00:12:14known as Dixie Logan.
00:12:19And I saw who was the defendant, Dixie Logan.
00:12:25Thank you, Mr. Collins.
00:12:27You're sure, Mr. Bowman?
00:12:29Positive.
00:12:31The man was Dixie Logan.
00:12:32You're out loud.
00:12:33Dixie Logan.
00:12:34Oh, yeah.
00:12:35You're out loud.
00:12:41Dixie Logan.
00:12:42Foreman and Collins lied New North
00:12:44because you paid them to lie.
00:12:46Your Honor, I must have...
00:12:48You're trying to railroad me with perjured witnesses
00:12:50because you know I'm not guilty.
00:12:52Dixie Logan came here recently
00:12:54to carry on his career of crime.
00:12:58There is no room in this city
00:13:00for murderous crooks like Logan.
00:13:03The only room we have is in the state penitentiary.
00:13:07I ask you to bring in the verdict
00:13:09that we'll send him there.
00:13:12We, the jury, find the defendant guilty as charged.
00:13:16And so,
00:13:18I sentence you to the state penitentiary
00:13:20to serve 20 years at hard labor.
00:13:27And we'll be gone 20 years, Dale.
00:13:30I'll be back for you.
00:13:33And I'll pay you what I owe you.
00:13:35In full.
00:13:36I knew then I wanted Mr. Dale for my next boss.
00:13:42So, when I heard he needed a new secretary,
00:13:45yes, I went funny.
00:13:46He's brilliant.
00:13:47He's going places.
00:13:49An opinion shared enthusiastically by Mr. Dale.
00:13:52But not by you.
00:13:53Oh, I like Larry.
00:13:54He's made a good record as far as he's gone.
00:13:58Now, there's the nice guy.
00:14:01Gus Miller.
00:14:03He thinks he really owns this town.
00:14:06Or ought to.
00:14:07One of the big shots of our underworld here.
00:14:10Probably the biggest.
00:14:11Very interesting.
00:14:13Very interesting.
00:14:13Very interesting.
00:14:41Well, Mr. Miller.
00:14:45Hello.
00:14:47Dale in?
00:14:48He'll be back shortly.
00:14:50I'll wait.
00:15:11He'll be back.
00:15:41Won't wait.
00:15:43We'll love it here.
00:15:44All right, Mr. Miller.
00:16:04Sorry I was delayed.
00:16:05Why didn't you go home?
00:16:07I wanted to finish his brief.
00:16:08Nonsense.
00:16:08Now, don't forget we're going to sit in the...
00:16:11Any message?
00:16:12Oh, Mr. Miller was here.
00:16:14Miller.
00:16:15What did he want?
00:16:16No message except to tell you that he was here.
00:16:19I see.
00:16:21Well, pick you up soon.
00:16:23All right, Larry.
00:16:26Later, John.
00:16:31Hello.
00:16:32I thought you had gone.
00:16:33I will be in a minute.
00:16:34I will be in a minute.
00:16:35Is it cool outside?
00:16:36Oh, warm.
00:16:38Is it all right if I start in there?
00:16:39It's a good place to begin.
00:16:41Yeah.
00:16:42Things always need cleaning up around a courthouse.
00:16:45I know.
00:16:45I know.
00:16:46Come on.
00:16:52I'll be right back.
00:16:56I don't know.
00:16:58And I'll be fine.
00:17:03Look.
00:17:05Let me now.
00:17:06Let me now go.
00:17:38Come on, Charlie.
00:18:08What do you want?
00:18:15You've been a bad boy.
00:18:17What do you want?
00:18:21What do you want?
00:18:28What do you want?
00:18:35What do you want?
00:18:37What do you want?
00:18:44What do you want?
00:18:46Good day.
00:18:47Happy birthday, Charlie.
00:18:53We've got it all fixed for you.
00:18:55You first.
00:18:57Yeah, Charlie, we've got it all fixed for you.
00:19:00You first.
00:19:17What about this?
00:19:19I spotted him when I was in your office.
00:19:21He was one of Dixie Logan's men.
00:19:23So I had the boys take care of him.
00:19:25But you can't do these things right at my front door.
00:19:28Why don't you get him on the outside?
00:19:30We can't take chances.
00:19:32Like I said, he was one of Logan's men.
00:19:34And you know why he was there.
00:19:36If he got you, he got us.
00:19:38We wouldn't like that.
00:19:40How'd he ever get to be a courthouse janitor anyway?
00:19:42How would I know that?
00:19:44I don't run the employment office.
00:19:45Maybe you'd better watch it.
00:19:46The blue noses are beginning to yell about the crime wave.
00:19:51They're always trying to ace a stool pigeon
00:19:53into a spot where they can get the lowdown.
00:19:56How about that girl in your office?
00:19:59Marion?
00:20:00Yeah.
00:20:01The one you're so crazy about.
00:20:03Am I?
00:20:04Well, ain't you?
00:20:05You're always going out with her.
00:20:07Maybe I have good reasons for that.
00:20:09Believe me, my emotions are completely under control.
00:20:12I don't trust her.
00:20:16She's absolutely honest and on the level.
00:20:18I'm sure of that.
00:20:19That's what bothers me.
00:20:20She looks nosy to me.
00:20:22She's been with me for six months now.
00:20:24And I haven't seen a sign of anything.
00:20:26That doesn't mean anything.
00:20:28I don't trust her.
00:20:30Play safe.
00:20:31Fire her.
00:20:32Yeah.
00:20:33Before she does find out something.
00:20:35It's good insurance.
00:20:37Fire her.
00:20:38Why, that's ridiculous.
00:20:40Don't you ever have a hunch?
00:20:42I have.
00:20:44What gets you gets us.
00:20:46Don't forget that.
00:20:47And we want to see her fired.
00:21:08Go ahead.
00:21:09The her.
00:21:10Charles White.
00:21:11The Lord, who knows?
00:21:13Oh, no!
00:21:14Yes, sir.
00:21:15I can know where she is.
00:21:16Oh, no.
00:21:1710 years old.
00:21:18That's kind of a study over your grass.
00:21:19Yeah.
00:21:21I'll bexxed.
00:21:22Get back to beautiful garden.
00:21:23Oh, my God.
00:21:24Oh, there's a beautiful garden over.
00:21:26A beautiful garden over here.
00:21:29If I can try for a place that's what it looks like.
00:21:31Why?
00:21:32I was so confused on.
00:21:33It's a very lives monster somewhere.
00:21:35Poor Spacist.
00:21:36This is all in my mind.
00:21:37Oh, my God.
00:22:07Let's go.
00:22:37Let's go.
00:23:07Let's go.
00:23:37Let's go.
00:23:39Let's go.
00:23:43Let's go.
00:23:51Let's go.
00:23:59Let's go.
00:24:01Let's go.
00:24:09Let's go.
00:24:11Let's go.
00:24:13Let's go.
00:24:15Let's go.
00:24:17Let's go.
00:24:19Let's go.

00:24:42Let's go.
00:24:43Let's go.
00:24:45Let's go.
00:24:47Let's go.
00:24:49Let's go.
00:24:51Let's go.
00:24:53Let's go.
00:24:55Let's go.
00:24:57Let's go.
00:24:59Let's go.
00:25:01Let's go.
00:25:03Let's go.
00:25:05Let's go.
00:25:07Let's go.
00:25:09Let's go.
00:25:11Let's go.
00:25:41Let's go.
00:25:57I want to dictate that letter.
00:25:59I lost my nerve a little while ago.
00:26:01Impossible.
00:26:02Not in this case.
00:26:05Private Secretary eventually knows all of her employer secrets anyway.
00:26:08Why not this one?
00:26:10I need your help.
00:26:11What kind of help, Larry?
00:26:13I'll have to write this letter by hand later, but I want to see it first.
00:26:17Know how it sounds.
00:26:19And I want you to tell me what you think of it.
00:26:21Of course.
00:26:23Well, here goes.
00:26:25My dearest.
00:26:28I trust this will not come as too great a surprise to you.
00:26:35I'm sure you've known that my deep feeling for you
00:26:39from the moment we met.
00:26:40I know now that I could never get along or be happy with anyone else.
00:26:46Sometimes, of late, I've even dared to hope.
00:26:52I'm sure we can make a wonderful team throughout our lives.
00:26:59So very humbly, very hopeful.
00:27:04With all the love in my heart, I'm asking you to marry me.
00:27:09And there it is, Marion.
00:27:10How's it sound?
00:27:11It's...
00:27:12It's very beautiful, Larry.
00:27:13She...

00:28:21Doggone it.
00:28:22Good to see you.
00:28:23Been over a year.
00:28:24Known her since she was a chick.
00:28:26I told you.
00:28:27He had always been a very close friend of the family.
00:28:29Close?
00:28:30I'm practically a relative.
00:28:31Now, young lady, what do you want to?
00:28:33Joe, this is Lawrence Dale.
00:28:35Not the next district attorney.
00:28:37We think so.
00:28:38He's also my fiance.
00:28:39We want to be married.
00:28:40By you.
00:28:41I told him it would have to be you.
00:28:43Better not be anybody else.
00:28:45Well, what are we waiting for?
00:28:46You got the license, young fellow?
00:28:47Oh, yes.
00:28:48Here we are, sir.
00:28:49You're getting the finest girl in the world, Mr. Dale.
00:28:52I know that you are.
00:28:54We'll need a witness.
00:28:56Uh, Clem.
00:28:57Yes?
00:28:58Clem, you be the witness.
00:28:59This is Clem Sparks, my deputy.
00:29:01How do you do?
00:29:02Now, you young people just please join hands, sir.
00:29:04That's right.
00:29:05Now, by the power invested me.
00:29:08They ought to be coming out of there now.
00:29:09Weddings are a lot easier to get into than out of.
00:29:10Uh, Dale's getting out of this one quick.
00:29:11Thanks very much.
00:29:13Fine.
00:29:14I don't have to wish you luck, Mr. Dale.
00:29:15You've already got it.
00:29:16Yes, I know.
00:29:17Thank you again, Judge.
00:29:18Goodbye, Joe.
00:29:19Come and see us.
00:29:20I sure will, Marion.
00:29:21I sure will.
00:29:22You first, my dad?
00:29:23That is always first.
00:29:24I'll hold you to that.
00:29:25You hit, Marion?
00:29:27You all right?
00:29:28Yes, I'm okay, but it was close.
00:29:29I wonder who could have done it?
00:29:30Somebody gunning for me, of course.
00:29:31You mean you have any chance to get out of here?
00:29:33I'm sorry.
00:29:34I'm sorry.
00:29:35I'm sorry.
00:29:36I'm sorry.
00:29:37I'm sorry.
00:29:38I'm sorry.
00:29:39I'm sorry.
00:29:40I'm sorry.
00:29:41I'm sorry.
00:29:42I'm sorry.
00:29:43I'm sorry.
00:29:44I'm sorry.
00:29:45I'm sorry.
00:29:46I'm sorry.
00:29:47I'm sorry.
00:29:48I'm sorry.
00:29:49I'm sorry.
00:29:50You have enemies like that?
00:29:51Every man in my kind of position has enemies.
00:29:53Anyone you could pin this on?
00:29:55I think so.
00:29:56I believe it was Dixie Logan.
00:29:58Well, he'll be kind of hard to run down.
00:30:00I'll get him.
00:30:01Oh, keep this quiet, will you, Judge?
00:30:03I don't want any newspaper publicity on.
00:30:05I reckon so.
00:30:06There's not much we can do, anyway.
00:30:08Did you get a good look at that car, Clem?
00:30:10No, they got away too fast.
00:30:12Well, folks that heard it will think it was backfire anyway.
00:30:15We'll keep mum about it.
00:30:16Thank you, Judge.
00:30:17Thanks again, Joel.
00:30:18And don't worry about it.
00:30:19Fine.
00:30:20Lots of luck to you.
00:30:22Good night.
00:30:25It was Dixie Logan.
00:30:27I'm sure of that.
00:30:28I'll get him.
00:30:29I don't think it was Dixie Logan, and I don't think they were trying to get you.
00:30:33What do you mean?
00:30:34Well, I'm not very hard to distinguish from you, and there was plenty of light coming through that door.
00:30:40Only one shot was fired at me.
00:30:42If they had wanted you, they would have waited until you came up and fired again, as often as necessary.
00:30:47No.
00:30:48No.
00:30:49Why should anyone gun for you?
00:30:51I don't know.
00:30:52Do you?
00:30:53No, but I will.
00:30:54I promise you that.
00:30:56There was someone who knew exactly where we were, why, and when.
00:31:00Does that help any?
00:31:02It will.
00:31:03Well, home at last.
00:31:04Safe.
00:31:05Try to forget about it, dear.
00:31:06Let's not have any shadows now.
00:31:07After all, tonight is our wedding night.
00:31:08Yes, so it is.
00:31:09Then we can make it a honeymoon anyway, right here.
00:31:10No, Larry, we can't.
00:31:11Why not?
00:31:12I don't intend a honeymoon with you, now or any time.
00:31:13I know exactly why you married me.
00:31:15And it wasn't love.
00:31:16What do you think was the reason I married you?
00:31:19That lovely old law.
00:31:20A wife can't testify against her husband.
00:31:21Why should I do that?
00:31:22Something could not be halfway there?
00:31:23Well, then he was like, oh, Lord.
00:31:24Okay, well, you're going to see me, let me see you.
00:31:26You're going to see me.
00:31:28And you're going to see me.

00:31:34I'm going to see you.
00:31:35To do this, I'm going to see you.
00:31:36I'm going to see you.
00:31:38No, I'm going to see you.
00:31:39You're going to see you.
00:31:41You're going to see you.

00:40:34Who hired you to lie against me?
00:40:45Well, who's going to talk, you or this?
00:40:49It was Miller.
00:40:50Who put up the dough?
00:40:52Miller and Carter and Blake.
00:40:54What did Dale have to do with it?
00:40:56Nothing.
00:40:57I, we don't know.
00:40:58Miller made us go to Dale, tell him we had evidence on you.
00:41:01Who cooked up the evidence?
00:41:03Miller and the other two.
00:41:05Wasn't Dale?
00:41:06No, he just coached us.
00:41:07You're lying.
00:41:08No, we ain't.
00:41:09Honest.
00:41:10How much did you get?
00:41:12They pitched in a thousand bucks apiece.
00:41:14They promised to send us a thousand bucks more, but they didn't.
00:41:16That's why we came back.
00:41:17You suckers.
00:41:18You think they'll pay us?
00:41:20Well, they better pay or we'll talk.
00:41:22Think they'll let you lose to talk?
00:41:25Your boy's broke.
00:41:26Yeah.
00:41:30Write down what you just told me.
00:41:32Everything you testified to was a lie.
00:41:35Who hired you?
00:41:37How much they paid you and signed it.
00:41:38Yeah, but where are you?
00:41:39You get a sissy.
00:41:40It's no healthier for me around here than for you.
00:41:43Work fast and I'll see if you get enough dough to get out of town.
00:41:46You better move fast or you won't get out alive.
00:41:48That Miller's no chump.
00:41:54What's up?
00:41:56Collins and Foreman are back in town.
00:41:58No kidding.
00:42:00They tried to get in touch with you?
00:42:01No, not yet.
00:42:03They telephoned me.
00:42:04Said they hadn't seen me.
00:42:06I figured they'd be around.
00:42:08Why?
00:42:09Hungry, I guess.
00:42:11Didn't you send them the rest of that money?
00:42:13No.
00:42:13Why not?
00:42:14I wanted them to come back.
00:42:16You fool.
00:42:17They're dangerous.
00:42:18I'm glad you finally figured that out.
00:42:20You were the fool when you wouldn't let us finish the job after the trial.
00:42:23Stink things up?
00:42:24No, you thought you were in the clear because of the way we handled it.
00:42:27Well, you're not.
00:42:28They sing and so do we.
00:42:31Where are you then?
00:42:32We haven't got time to waste talking about that now.
00:42:34Where are they?
00:42:35Oak Street.
00:42:36Uh, 237 Oak, Apartment 2C.
00:42:40They're going to meet me out in front at 1130 Sharp.
00:42:42That's all I want to know.
00:42:44And don't let your boys mess this up.
00:42:45Did they ever?
00:42:46It's mine.
00:42:56Stay where he is.
00:42:57How'd you find us?
00:43:14Our boys have been watching for you for months.
00:43:17Told you you were suckers.
00:43:18Now get out of town.
00:43:28Who are you?
00:43:53and to yours I think come in George Mitchell of the Tribune yes I saw you
00:44:02before talk fast I overheard everything didn't go ahead I haven't got any spare
00:44:11time why aren't you gone now that's why
00:44:23don't be crazy I wanted them alive for a while anyway on account of those confessions
00:44:35yeah you wouldn't use it don't count on that my friend I am I'm turning you in
00:44:52that's very friendly it's better than you getting knocked off before you clear
00:44:55yourself the orders out on you are shoot to kill but those confessions will get
00:45:00you a new trial and acquittal I'm not going to use them until I get something on
00:45:04Dale stick and pay or grab to the railroad and forget it and give me those
00:45:09confessions I'm gonna try taking them look use your head on you they're forgeries and
00:45:14the guys are dead don't believe me and I'll testify they're going to fight why
00:45:19are you doing this I'm a newspaper man building up a big exclusive story if I
00:45:22cross you I'm easy to find and hurry they'll be here in a minute you don't
00:45:28want that no it wouldn't look good for you I'm taking you uptown
00:45:32maybe you got something let's go
00:46:02I'm on
00:46:09and
00:46:12good
00:46:14good
00:46:16good
00:46:21good
00:46:23good
00:46:26good
00:46:29Let's go.
00:46:59I told you no killing and I told you it was Dixie Logan's man Logan Logan how could they find out
00:47:17where Collins and Foreman were find them and ask them no Larry it was cold-blooded murder and
00:47:22you arranged it oh Marian hello Mitch hiya Mitch hi Larry not a mess huh no not so much open and shut case
00:47:34was Dixie Logan or his men no it wasn't what makes you think that I don't think I know oh the time
00:47:45Collins and Foreman were being knocked off by a couple of Miller's trigger men would be my guess
00:47:49I was having a little chat with Dixie Logan what well how could you oh it was easy first he'd say
00:47:57something then I'd say something well where'd you see him why didn't you report this I'm reporting
00:48:02now why did you turn him in his gun was in the way where was this Mitch said a lot of nasty things
00:48:08about you that doesn't make any difference where'd you see him said a lot of other things too he's
00:48:13mighty sorry about Collins and Foreman I can imagine he was very anxious for them to stay alive
00:48:20that's interesting why because he thought if they were dead their confessions were no good
00:48:25confessions yeah that they had lied on the witness stand and I suppose Logan claimed that the
00:48:32phony confessions accused me no they didn't how'd you know that they look very legitimate
00:48:40whom did they accuse Carter Miller and Blake it's gonna make a great story Mitch sure will
00:48:53wouldn't you know I wanted to get your angle well what you say is true why doesn't Logan turn himself
00:49:01in and use these confessions to clear himself he's a strange guy you'll have to ask him he said he'd
00:49:07use him when he was ready which will you hold up this yarn in the interest of the public welfare
00:49:12depends on how convincing you make it you'll give me my first direct lead I'll prove who heads this
00:49:18crime organization and who's trying to run the city but I want the chance to run your lead without
00:49:22tipping anyone off if you put this story now it may ruin everything but if you play ball with me and
00:49:28wait I promise you I'll break that organization well for a bigger exclusive I'll postpone this one might be in
00:49:37public welfare so I'll be a good citizen for a while you won't regret it Mitch
00:49:43how stupid do you think I am want me to answer that question Mitch set you in here Mitch is the
00:49:58reason for your locked doors your partners and this whole thing but your moves aren't very bright
00:50:03that last one having him come in here with that phony story trying to scare me huh with what the truth
00:50:09imagine his thinking you and I were working together from that day on things began to move
00:50:26Larry knew he was cornered his only way was the double double cross like crook against crook make them get each other out of the way he sold Miller the idea of double crossing Carter and Blake
00:50:45are you willing to gamble for big stakes yeah doing what you and I working alone if we work together we can take this entire town over before anybody knows it how would you like to work along with me what's on your mind I figure on devil crossing Carter and Miller taking over this town for ourselves sounds interesting how would you like to take over this town
00:51:14alone alone alone with me well we'll double cross Miller and Blake and leave the town wide open for us
00:51:21I don't know double crossing is pretty risky business it's foolproof
00:51:25when he was all set where he put on a big show
00:51:30it was all so rotten and crooked
00:51:34but it still looked good
00:51:36but they were most afraid of what you knew
00:51:46they were sure they could handle Dixie Logan and those confessions if they caught him
00:51:52but you were known to be honest
00:51:54so you had to go
00:51:56Larry gave the job to Miller with orders to go slow
00:52:00until he could make it look like an accident
00:52:03because plain murder of a newspaper man would be poison
00:52:07it all looked like a real clean up the election was a cinch
00:52:36but everything else was piling up we knew the whole thing was phony and just how Larry would
00:52:43live up to his promise to the boys and get them out after being sentenced was more than even I
00:52:48could figure out but the first answer came when Blake went on trial
00:53:06Mitch I want you to run that Dixie Logan story tomorrow with the evidence we've got I'll indict
00:53:18Miller and send him up for life we'll run it tomorrow in the first edition look why don't

00:53:49no he wouldn't listen to me so you stop him now he's going to a press club dinner
00:53:54it's possible that you might get him before he gets there that's right
00:54:06it's all in the air
00:54:21it's all in the air
00:54:28it's all in the air
00:54:31I want to make sure you recognize me.
00:54:42What?
00:54:44We three have been running around together so long,
00:54:46I think we ought to get acquainted.
00:54:48My name's George Mitchell.
00:54:49What about it?
00:54:51I often wonder myself.
00:55:00You all right?
00:55:00Yes, thanks to you, but...
00:55:02Nick, stay away from there.
00:55:03We've got a land.
00:55:04Say, what is this, anyway?
00:55:06I thought you guys were laying for me.
00:55:07Laying for you?
00:55:08We've been saving your life for a long time.
00:55:10Who are you?
00:55:11None of your business.
00:55:12Who put you on this job?
00:55:14I wouldn't be a bit surprised.
00:55:16Who's on my trail?
00:55:17Someone that won't be any longer.
00:55:19Well, thanks a lot, fellas.
00:55:21I suppose I'll be seeing you around.
00:55:24For a while.
00:55:24Yeah, if you look fast enough.
00:55:26Say, would you do me a favor and pass the word on to the boss
00:55:28that I appreciate all this?
00:55:29Forget it.
00:55:31Sing.
00:55:44Yeah.
00:55:45Harry and Slim.
00:55:46They're both dead.
00:55:47What?
00:55:48Well, how did it happen?
00:55:49Who did it?
00:55:50That's what I'm calling you to find out.
00:55:52I don't understand.
00:55:53I think you do.
00:55:55It was well planned, Dale.
00:55:57What are you driving at?
00:55:59You weren't giving me a bum steer, were you?
00:56:01You know better than that.
00:56:03I'm not sure.
00:56:04But I know a lot of things you don't even suspect I know.
00:56:09I'll be seeing you, Dale.
00:56:14Hi.
00:56:16Where's Larry?
00:56:17Making plans for tomorrow?
00:56:18Yes.
00:56:19Well, Larry goes in as district attorney tomorrow.
00:56:21It's going to be a big day.
00:56:23I guess so.
00:56:24What?
00:56:25I mean, yes, of course it is.
00:56:28No thrill?
00:56:29Should I have one?
00:56:31Hey, what's the matter, honey?
00:56:32I thought you'd be full of the spirit today.
00:56:34What's wrong, Marian?
00:56:35It's just that I thought I could do something, which I couldn't.
00:56:41Is it Larry?
00:56:42No.
00:56:43I'm glad you came in today, Mitch.
00:56:46So am I, but you'd rather I left now?
00:56:49Maybe it would be best.
00:56:51Please forgive me.
00:56:52For what?
00:56:53See you in the big office tomorrow.
00:57:04Where are you going?
00:57:05I'm leaving.
00:57:07Leaving?
00:57:08I'll make it short, Larry.
00:57:09My job's finished.
00:57:11Well, what does that mean?
00:57:12What you've been asking for.
00:57:14You're not going to become district attorney tomorrow.
00:57:16Oh, no?
00:57:17Why not?
00:57:18Today I mailed every bit of evidence I have against you to John Forsythe.
00:57:22So you crossed me, huh?
00:57:24No.
00:57:25You crossed yourself as well as everybody else, including me.
00:57:28I warned you, if you didn't play it on the level, I'd turn you in.
00:57:31I've done everything you demanded of me.
00:57:33Have you?
00:57:34Deals.
00:57:35Deals with every crook you knew.
00:57:37Lying, killing, cheating.
00:57:39You had Collins and Foreman killed.
00:57:41And you tried to have Mitch killed.
00:57:43Mitch did everything he could for you because he believed you were on the level.
00:57:46But I'm stopping you.
00:57:49As my wife, you won't mind sharing the disgrace you're bringing on us.
00:57:54You brought it on yourself.
00:57:56And no, I won't be sharing it.
00:57:58There are ways of stopping a male and you.
00:58:00I'm not very soft, Larry.
00:58:02You think you're going to...
00:58:03Hold it, Larry.
00:58:03You better make up the lover's quarrel while you have time.
00:58:10What do you want?
00:58:11You, Larry.
00:58:12I want to talk to you.
00:58:14You won't need that gun.
00:58:15I will.
00:58:16In just a minute.
00:58:18For what?
00:58:19Anybody who crosses me is always sorry as long as he lives.
00:58:22But I haven't crossed...
00:58:23But how hard you tried.
00:58:25You really had me fooled for a while.
00:58:27Now listen, Miller.
00:58:28All the time trying to wipe us out.
00:58:30Playing one of us against the other.
00:58:32Well, you're crazy.
00:58:33Am I?
00:58:34Maybe I was, but not anymore.
00:58:36It won't do you any good to kill us, Miller.
00:58:38But it'll make me feel awfully good.
00:58:41Especially you.
00:58:45You're the cause of this whole blow-up.
00:58:47I don't know what your game was or what you expected to gain by it.
00:58:51But it didn't pay off.
00:58:53Oh, yes, it did.
00:59:02Dixie Logan.
00:59:06Yes, Mr. Dale.
00:59:08Or how could it?
00:59:10Marion and I.
00:59:11You aren't married now.
00:59:12You never were.
00:59:14What do you mean?
00:59:15Marion was on the spot when you asked her to marry you.
00:59:17But she saw a chance to help me.
00:59:19So we arranged a phony marriage.
00:59:21After all, she didn't want to be a bigamist.
00:59:25A sanctimonious, super moral Marion Langdon.
00:59:29A cheap gun model.
00:59:30No, Larry, I never was.
00:59:33I loved Dixie.
00:59:34I was married to him for three years before you framed him.
00:59:37I never knew he was mixed up in any crimes.
00:59:39But I did know that he couldn't have committed the job you sent him up for.
00:59:43That's why I came in, determined to find proof to free him and break you.
00:59:47Which was swell for my setup.
00:59:49Now I have a very fine idea.
00:59:52You're going to be district attorney and keep everybody out of my way.
00:59:56I'm taking this town over.
00:59:58Take it or leave it.
01:00:00I'd be very glad to play ball with you.
01:00:02But I'm afraid you're a little bit late.
01:00:07Yeah?
01:00:07Why?
01:00:09Marion mailed John Forsythe all the evidence she had against me.
01:00:13Looks like I'm not going to be district attorney.
01:00:18I may even take over that cell that you had at the stake penitentiary.
01:00:23You little fool.
01:00:25Why'd you send in the evidence before you told me?
01:00:29I did it because it cleared you.
01:00:30But now I'm sorry.
01:00:32Even if you were framed, I know now that you're rotten.
01:00:37Answer.
01:00:38Oh, yes, Chief.
01:00:47Listen fast.
01:00:49We just got a line on Dixie Logan.
01:00:51Heading your way and gunning for you.
01:00:53The squad car is on its way up.
01:00:55Should be there in a few minutes.
01:00:56Play it safe.
01:00:57Get your wife and yourself out of the house if you can without being seen.
01:01:01Leave the door open.
01:01:02Okay, thanks, Chief.
01:01:06Somebody tipped the police.
01:01:07They're coming up here to get you.
01:01:09Talk fast.
01:01:10Should I stop the mail of Forsythe?
01:01:11Are you in this D-8?
01:01:12You ready to talk business?
01:01:14Certainly.
01:01:15But she's going to cause us trouble.
01:01:17Wife or no wife.
01:01:19She won't be around.
01:01:20She's going to go.
01:01:21Come on, that's a great deal.
01:01:21Come on, let's go.
01:01:22She's going to go.
01:01:22Come on, let's go.
01:01:23Come on, let's go.
01:01:24Let's go.
01:01:24Come on, let's go.
01:01:25Let's go.
01:01:55That's all there is, Mitch.
01:02:19You know the rest better than I do.
01:02:22Mitch.
01:02:24What a story.
01:02:25You wouldn't believe it, John.
01:02:27Yes, I would.
01:02:29She sent this to me.
01:02:30Used to be your exclusive.
01:02:39Confirms everything she said.
01:02:41What a scoop.
01:02:45And think that I can never print it.
01:02:51I thought you'd say that.
01:02:53I'll just burn these.
01:02:55All right, John.
01:02:57Goodbye, Marion.
01:03:04Don't worry, honey.
01:03:06Everything's going to be all right.
01:03:07Why?
01:03:07Listen to the crowd.
01:03:08It's going to be all right.
01:03:10We're going to be all right.
01:03:10I know what that means.
01:03:12We're going to be all right.
01:03:12I want you to all right.
01:03:13I can't wait.
01:03:13I can't wait.
01:03:13I can't wait.
01:03:14I can't wait.
01:03:14I can't wait.
01:03:14I can't wait.
