00:01:00The End

00:01:30The End

00:01:59Can I help you?

00:02:03I'd like to see the man in charge

00:02:04He's in here

00:02:06I want to report a murder

00:02:16Sit down

00:02:17Why was this murder committed?

00:02:24San Francisco

00:02:25Last night

00:02:26Who was murdered?

00:02:32I was

00:02:33Well, do you want to hear me out or don't you, Captain?

00:02:43I don't have very much time

00:02:44Your name Bigelow?

00:02:49Frank Bigelow?

00:02:52That's right

00:02:53Answer the San Francisco APB

00:02:56Send it direct to Inspector Bannon at Homicide

00:02:59Tell him we've found Frank Bigelow

00:03:01Go ahead, Mr. Bigelow

00:03:05Well, this involves some other people, Captain

00:03:09A number of other people

00:03:11You tell it any way you like

00:03:13I live in a little town called Banning

00:03:18Out on the desert

00:03:19It's on the way to Palm Springs

00:03:21I have a small business there

00:03:26Paula?

00:03:32Yes, Mr. Bigelow?

00:03:33Give me a copy of Miss Hollis' 48 tax return, will you?

00:03:36Oh, uh, you better get the 47, too

00:03:38Yes, Mr. Bigelow

00:03:39I don't think we took any depreciation on that new equipment last year

00:03:43No, we didn't

00:03:44I remember you said we could include it all this year

00:03:47Sure we can

00:03:48Hey, Frank

00:03:48Yeah, well

00:03:49Peterson says he wants a financial statement

00:03:51Before he can give me my loan

00:03:53Hello, Kitty

00:03:53Hi, Will

00:03:54Well, I'm leaving for San Francisco today

00:03:56But I'll be back in about a week

00:03:57I'll take care of it for you then

00:03:58Sure is a scorcher, isn't it?

00:04:00Well, I've seen him worse

00:04:01Well, have a nice time, Frank

00:04:02Yeah, thanks, Will

00:04:03Paula, why don't you come down to the place

00:04:05And let me give you another permanent

00:04:06Makes your hair so much easier to manage in all this heat

00:04:10I can't afford it right now

00:04:11Maybe next month

00:04:12Yeah, here it is

00:04:13No, we didn't take it

00:04:13Well, we can do it this year

00:04:15You work it out any way you think best

00:04:17Have a nice trip, Frank

00:04:20Sure, Kitty

00:04:20See you when I get back

00:04:21Bon voyage

00:04:22Why don't you come down anyway, Paula

00:04:27We'll work out a deal on that permanent

00:04:29Thanks, maybe I will

00:04:30Hello?

00:04:36Oh, hello, Mr. Hawkins

00:04:37Just a moment

00:04:37Do you want him to send your ticket over?

00:04:40No, I'll pick it up myself

00:04:41No, never mind

00:04:42Mr. Bigelow will pick it up at the station

00:04:44Bye

00:04:45I want to go with you, Frank

00:04:51Now, Paula, I'm just going on a little vacation

00:04:54You know that

00:04:55You want to go without me, don't you?

00:04:57Be gone just a week

00:04:57And I suppose you've just made up your mind

00:04:59To take this little vacation at 9 o'clock this morning

00:05:01No, Paula

00:05:03I meant to tell you about it a few days ago

00:05:05And I guess I forgot

00:05:05Oh, you forgot

00:05:06Paula, don't be like that

00:05:08Don't be like what?

00:05:10You just drop a little announcement that you're going away

00:05:12Not tomorrow or next week or next month

00:05:14But today

00:05:14No explanations, nothing

00:05:16And I'm supposed to swallow the excuse that you need a little vacation

00:05:19I just want to get away from town for a few days, that's all

00:05:22Get away from this town or get away from me

00:05:24Oh, Paula

00:05:25Please try to understand

00:05:27How can you ask me to understand anything like this?

00:05:30No, I'm sorry, but I don't understand

00:05:32Go to San Francisco, but don't expect me to be waiting for you when you get back

00:05:38Paula

00:05:56Please, Paula

00:05:58Come on, turn around, look

00:06:00Come here

00:06:08Why do you do this to me, Frank?

00:06:11Why can't you be honest with me?

00:06:13As honest as I am with you

00:06:15Do you have to go?

00:06:17I have to go, Paula

00:06:18I know what I'm doing

00:06:18All right, go

00:06:19Go anywhere you like

00:06:20You can go to blazes for all I care

00:06:22Paula

00:06:24Yes, I know

00:06:28I'm

00:06:29I'm being foolish

00:06:31Come here

00:06:32Come on, fix your face

00:06:44We'll go down to Eddie's and have a drink

00:06:45All right, why not?

00:06:47Hiya, Paula

00:06:54All right, Eddie

00:06:55Give us a couple of cold beers, will you?

00:06:57Coming up

00:06:57All right

00:06:58Come on

00:06:59Oh, what a relief

00:07:05This air conditioning feels good

00:07:07I sure wish we had it in the office

00:07:08It'd make working a pleasure

00:07:10Well, if it stays this hot

00:07:11Don't bother going in the rest of the week

00:07:12I win two races today

00:07:14How many did you lose?

00:07:16You wouldn't have to ask that

00:07:17Kind of early for you two, ain't it?

00:07:19Too hot to work

00:07:20That's what I'd like to hear

00:07:21Frank

00:07:41You'll take me with you, won't you?

00:07:46You will, won't you?

00:07:50Or am I crowding you?

00:07:52What do you mean, crowding me?

00:07:56Maybe you do need this week away alone

00:07:58Maybe we both do

00:08:00I know what's going on inside of you, Frank

00:08:03You're just like any other man, only a little more so

00:08:06You have a feeling of being trapped

00:08:08Hemmed in

00:08:09And you don't know whether or not you like it

00:08:10Look, Paula

00:08:11I'm going to be honest with you

00:08:13I care too much for you not to be honest with you

00:08:15I'm as much concerned for your happiness as I am for my own

00:08:19I know you've had one bad experience, Frank

00:08:20I know all about it

00:08:21But you don't know what it can do to two people, Paula

00:08:23And the woman always gets hurt more than the man

00:08:26I don't want you to get hurt, darling

00:08:29More than anything in the world

00:08:32I don't want you to get hurt

00:08:33Want to hear some music?

00:08:39All right, Frank

00:08:40Got a couple of nickels, Eddie?

00:08:45Yeah

00:08:46This won't bother you, will it?

00:08:49No, the next result doesn't come in for half an hour

00:08:51I thought that by now we'd be married

00:09:04No, I'm not going to crowd you anymore, Frank

00:09:09Go to San Francisco

00:09:10I don't like it

00:09:11But I'm convinced that you must go

00:09:13I want you to be very sure, Frank

00:09:17If it's right, and I believe it is

00:09:19We'll have something really wonderful together

00:09:22If it isn't

00:09:24We should both know it as soon as possible

00:09:27So you see, even if I could stop you

00:09:30I wouldn't do it now

00:09:31Yes, sir?

00:10:00My name is Bigelow

00:10:01I have a reservation

00:10:02Yes, sir

00:10:02Here we are, sir

00:10:08My name is Bigelow

00:10:10I have a reservation

00:10:11I have it, sir

00:10:12It's a very nice room on the sixth floor

00:10:13Facing the bay

00:10:14Boy, this might help you enjoy your stay, Mr. Bigelow

00:10:17There's a little booklet on how to have fun in San Francisco

00:10:20Oh, thank you

00:10:21Very welcome, sir

00:10:22Thank you

00:10:24Say, is it always like this around here?

00:10:28No, this is market week

00:10:29And it's the last day, too

00:10:30Boy

00:10:31Always around until you need them

00:10:34Thank you

00:10:39Here's a message for you, Mr. Bigelow

00:10:41Long distance call came in about an hour ago

00:10:43From Banning

00:10:43From a Paula Gibson

00:10:45Oh, thank you

00:10:46You're very welcome

00:10:46Show Mr. Bigelow to 618

00:10:47Right this way, sir

00:10:49Right this way, Mr. Bigelow

00:11:07Is there anything else, Mr. Bigelow?

00:11:25Oh, uh, yes

00:11:26You can get me, uh, dry Manhattan and, uh, packs of razor blades

00:11:29Yes, sir

00:11:30Thank you

00:11:30Oh, and, uh, you can leave that door open

00:11:33Hello, operator

00:11:36I want to speak to Miss Paula Gibson in Banning, California

00:11:40Yeah, that's right

00:11:41No, I'll wait

00:11:42Hello

00:11:47Hello, Paula

00:11:48Oh, hello, Frank

00:11:50How was the trip?

00:11:51Fine, just fine

00:11:52Having a miserable time, I hope

00:11:54Well, I don't know

00:11:55I, uh, I just got in

00:11:57What was that?

00:12:01Uh, market week

00:12:02The place is crawling with traveling salesmen

00:12:04You know, Charlie Anderson found out that you went away

00:12:06And he asked me to go out with him

00:12:07Oh, really?

00:12:08How did he make out?

00:12:10I'm considering it

00:12:11Is that what you called to tell me?

00:12:13I'll have you know that this call is strictly business, Mr. Bigelow

00:12:17Did a Mr. Phillips phone you?

00:12:18A Eugene Phillips of Los Angeles

00:12:20No

00:12:20He will

00:12:21He phoned the office three times today

00:12:23Said that he wanted to get in touch with you immediately

00:12:25He said it's most urgent and imperative that he reach you at once

00:12:28One be one

00:12:29I don't know

00:12:30But he sounded deep, dark, and mysterious

00:12:32And quite agitated about something

00:12:33Phillips, Phillips

00:12:35Have we, uh, have we ever done any business with him?

00:12:37Not unless you've been keeping it a secret for me

00:12:39I looked through all the accounts

00:12:41Uh, why did you tell him you could reach me here?

00:12:47You know I'm supposed to be on vacation

00:12:48So you told me

00:12:49And so I told him, dear heart

00:12:51But the gentleman didn't seem to respect your temperamental moods the way I do

00:12:55He was very insistent that he speak to you before it's too late, as he put it

00:12:59Well, tell him you tried to get in touch with me

00:13:00And I've changed my plans and you can't reach me

00:13:02He won't talk to me

00:13:04I told him that I was your confidential secretary

00:13:06But I guess I didn't sound confidential enough

00:13:09So I told him that he could reach you there this evening

00:13:11Well, call him back

00:13:12If it's as important as he says it is, he'll talk to you

00:13:14Otherwise, he'll just have to wait until I get home

00:13:17My, aren't we adamant this evening?

00:13:20All right, shall do

00:13:21And Frank

00:13:25Yeah?

00:13:27I, uh

00:13:28I don't quite know how to say this

00:13:30Say what?

00:13:33Well, what I want to say is

00:13:35That there's nothing you can do that you ever have to feel guilty about

00:13:38Oh

00:13:41Sure

00:13:43Thanks, Paula

00:13:46I'll, uh

00:13:47I'll call you tomorrow

00:13:49Frank?

00:13:51Just put it there

00:14:19You can keep the change

00:14:24Thanks very much

00:14:25Say, um

00:14:26How long has this been going on?

00:14:27Oh, it's been a madhouse all week

00:14:28But they check out tomorrow

00:14:29Oh?

00:14:30I thought you were with them

00:14:31No, no

00:14:32I'm just here on a vacation

00:14:33Why does everybody come to San Francisco and tear loose?

00:14:36Excuse me

00:14:39Excuse me

00:14:40Say, uh

00:14:42I'm awfully sorry to bother you

00:14:43But, uh

00:14:43Would you mind if I use your telephone?

00:14:45No, no

00:14:45Go right ahead

00:14:46I'm just across the hall here

00:14:47One of the boys is using my phone

00:14:48And, uh

00:14:49He's been on for a half hour

00:14:50I just want to call downstairs

00:14:52Yeah

00:14:52Thank you

00:14:53Room service, please

00:14:56Hey, uh

00:14:58Things really picked up the last few days, didn't they?

00:15:00You read it much business?

00:15:01Well, I'm not here on business

00:15:02Oh, hello

00:15:02Room service

00:15:03It's Mr. Haskell in 617

00:15:05Yeah, that's right

00:15:06Would you send up, uh

00:15:07Three more bottles of bourbon

00:15:08And two scotch?

00:15:09Yeah, that's right

00:15:10Oh, and, uh

00:15:11Some more ice, too

00:15:12Yeah

00:15:13All right

00:15:13Thank you

00:15:14You here alone?

00:15:16Yes, I just got in town

00:15:17Well, why don't you join us for a drink?

00:15:19Well, I don't want to barge in on your party

00:15:21Oh, nonsense

00:15:22It's not a party

00:15:22Just a few of the boys entertaining some buyers

00:15:25You know, the usual thing

00:15:26A few drinks and some laughs

00:15:27It's no party

00:15:29Come on

00:15:30Well

00:15:30Come on, come on

00:15:31All right

00:15:32I don't know what it's like to be all alone in a strange city

00:15:34I'm, uh

00:15:36Sam Haskell

00:15:36I'm Frank

00:15:37Frank Bigelow

00:15:38You think some of these guys have never been away from home before?

00:15:42Yeah

00:15:42Stop the phone

00:15:45Hey, hey

00:15:45Try it down

00:15:46Hey, will you cry it down a second?

00:15:48I want you to meet Frank Bigelow

00:15:50Hello

00:15:50Hi

00:15:50This is Jane Carlisle

00:15:52Hello

00:15:52Bill Welch

00:15:53How are you?

00:15:54Mr. Welch

00:15:54Glad to know you, Bigelow

00:15:55Jane's the prettiest buyer in San Francisco

00:15:56Oh, hey

00:15:57I resent that

00:15:59You don't think I believe him, Elaine

00:16:00Well, he spread that from coast to coast

00:16:02Oh, jeez

00:16:02Oh, but it's good for my morale anyway

00:16:04I'm George Cantwell

00:16:05Glad to know you, Mr. Bigelow

00:16:07Bigelow, yes

00:16:08Right on much business?

00:16:09He's not here on business

00:16:10Oh?

00:16:11Well

00:16:12Well, why don't you get the man a drink before he dies of thirst?

00:16:15How about a little bourbon?

00:16:15Well, that's fine

00:16:16Bourbon it in

00:16:17Of course, Mr. Wallace

00:16:20Yes, Mr. Wallace

00:16:22But, Mr. Wallace

00:16:24I'll need at least a week in Cleveland to visit all my accounts

00:16:26I can't figure on being in Philadelphia until the 17th

00:16:29Eddie, will you get off the phone?

00:16:30I want you to meet Frank Bigelow

00:16:32How are you?

00:16:32That's his boss

00:16:33He's been trying for an hour to get his expensive gum boosted

00:16:36Yeah, the way this guy holds on to a dollar

00:16:37You'd think they weren't printing them anymore

00:16:39Yes, Mr. Wallace

00:16:40I'm leaving here the first thing in the morning

00:16:42Yes, sir

00:16:43Oh, keep your hips loose, Harry

00:16:46Like this

00:16:47Oh, yeah

00:16:49How's he doing?

00:16:51Oh, there's nothing wrong with Harry's rumble

00:16:53The two years ago, the Murray's wouldn't be here

00:16:54I know, wasn't it?

00:16:55I was doing all right there

00:16:57This is Sue and Harry Brandt

00:16:58Hello, good to meet you

00:16:59How are you?

00:17:00Where'd you find her, Sam?

00:17:01On a dance marathon?

00:17:02She's bourbon

00:17:03Oh, really?

00:17:04Oh, thanks

00:17:05Now that you could do the rumble

00:17:06Well, a little, but I'm kind of rusty

00:17:08Anything would be an improvement after Harry

00:17:10Well, how do you like that?

00:17:12Well, here goes

00:17:13Hey

00:17:18You're good

00:17:19Oh, uh, my wife, she's a good dancer, isn't she, Big Lowe?

00:17:23Oh

00:17:24Yeah

00:17:25Hey, fellas, I thought you were going to show us a good time tonight

00:17:30Is this doing the town?

00:17:31That's right

00:17:32We practically bankrupt our stores to buy everything you've got

00:17:35Then you keep us in this hotel room

00:17:37I agree

00:17:37This is my last night to howl before I go back to being a beautiful housewife

00:17:41Well, it looks like we're stuck, boys

00:17:45This is where we blow all our commissions in one night

00:17:47And you're coming with us, Big Lowe

00:17:50Oh, no, thanks

00:17:50You run along

00:17:51I've got to get unpacked and have dinner

00:17:52Oh, no

00:17:53You're not going to get away from me

00:17:55Now that I find a man who can dance

00:17:57I'm going to hang on to it

00:17:58I'm going to hang on to it

00:18:28Oh, cool, really cool

00:18:53Man, am I here

00:19:00Oh, you're right nowhere, nowhere, nowhere

00:19:01Blow it

00:19:17Blow up a storm, fisherman

00:19:19Go on, go on, go on

00:19:38Get it, get it

00:19:55Get it, get it

00:19:57Get it, get it

00:19:59Here, have a little bit of my drink, Frank

00:20:16Oh, thank you

00:20:17Excuse me, a moment

00:20:19Where are you going, Frank?

00:20:21Excuse me

00:20:21I think you've had enough

00:20:23What'll it be?

00:20:36Bourbon and water, no ice

00:20:37Nice, quiet place you got here

00:20:39Well, they hit the pitch in about an hour

00:20:41That's when they really go out of their minds

00:20:42Who's the blonde?

00:20:47Oh, she's one of the chicks that hangs around here

00:20:49She's jive crazy

00:20:49Come again?

00:20:51Oh, you ain't hip, pal

00:20:52Jive crazy means that she goes for this stuff

00:20:54Just between you and me

00:20:55I don't get it either

00:20:56But I gotta listen to it

00:20:57They're all connoisseurs, music lovers

00:20:59Me?

00:20:59I like Guy Lombardo

00:21:01What's the matter with him?

00:21:03Oh, he's flipped

00:21:04The music's driving him crazy

00:21:05Come down, Jack

00:21:07Oh, don't buy me, man

00:21:09I'm being in life

00:21:09Is the blonde alone?

00:21:12Oh, sure, society

00:21:13She always comes in alone

00:21:15Drives a big convertible

00:21:16Wears a mink coat

00:21:17But knows everybody

00:21:18But she always comes in alone

00:21:20Thank you

00:21:23Give me another blast, Leo

00:21:28What's your story, Jeannie?

00:21:31Easy

00:21:31Hello

00:21:37Easy

00:21:38Dig the fisherman

00:21:39That's really silk, isn't it?

00:21:41Can I buy you a drink?

00:21:42Sure, thanks

00:21:43Give me a blast, Leo

00:21:44Leo, I left my blast at the other end of the bar

00:21:58My name's Jeannie

00:21:59What's yours?

00:22:01Frank

00:22:01I've never seen you here before, Frank

00:22:04Well, I've never been here

00:22:05This isn't mine

00:22:12Mine was bourbon

00:22:13Well, sure it is

00:22:14You saw me pour it

00:22:15Give me a fresh drink

00:22:18Anything you say

00:22:20Oh, listen to that piano

00:22:21Feel those vibrations

00:22:23You don't get your kicks out of this, do you?

00:22:28I can live without it

00:22:29Why do you stay here?

00:22:32I don't know

00:22:33I bet I know

00:22:34You're lonely in a big city

00:22:35Why, you don't have to go into a routine with me

00:22:38I like good company, too

00:22:41Say, there's some people there I want to avoid

00:22:51Couldn't we get out of here?

00:22:55Let me think about it

00:22:56Oh, come on

00:22:57How about going somewhere else?

00:22:59Why don't you meet me later?

00:23:01Okay, well

00:23:06Call me at that number later

00:23:17It's my next stop

00:23:18They've got a band there that'll really send you

00:23:21See you, Jeannie

00:23:22Easy

00:23:23Never mind, Alfred

00:23:53I don't know

00:24:23You're lonely

00:24:25I don't know

00:24:26I don't know

00:24:27I don't know

00:24:43You're lonely

00:24:45Lucy

00:24:45Wow

00:25:16Thank you, sir.

00:25:41Would you like anything else?

00:25:42No, thank you.

00:25:42That's all.

00:25:46Waiter.

00:25:48Yes, sir.

00:25:52Take this away.

00:25:55Is there anything wrong, sir?

00:25:57No, no, no.

00:25:58Just take it away.

00:25:59I don't even want to look at it.

00:26:03Are you all right, sir?

00:26:05Yeah, sure.

00:26:07All right.

00:26:08I just had too big a night, I guess.

00:26:09That's all.

00:26:11I need some fresh air.

00:26:12Of course.

00:26:13Thank you, sir.

00:26:20That's all.

00:26:21Oh, my God.

00:26:31Yes.

00:26:31What's that?

00:26:33I remember.

00:26:33Oh, my God.

00:26:34No.

00:26:35Oh, my God.

00:26:35No.

00:26:36No.

00:26:36Yeah.

00:26:37No.

00:26:38No.

00:26:39No.

00:26:40No.

00:26:41No.

00:26:41THE END

00:27:11Lung's in good condition, blood pressure normal, heart fine.

00:27:20Well, it's a good thing everybody isn't like you, Mr. Bigelow.

00:27:24Put us doctors out of business.

00:27:25I'm glad to hear it, Doctor. I was a little worried.

00:27:27Don't let a little bellyache worry you. Could be just a change of climate.

00:27:30Well, it isn't exactly an ache, Doctor. It's kind of hard to describe the feeling.

00:27:34Maybe it was the drinks I had last night. I might have mixed them too much, huh?

00:27:38Let's have another look at that throat.

00:27:41You may finish dressing now, Mr. Bigelow.

00:27:45I want to get the results of those tests we took.

00:27:47Thank you, Doctor.

00:27:48Mr. Bigelow, this is Dr. Schaefer.

00:28:12Hello, Doctor. How are you?

00:28:13Sit down, Mr. Bigelow.

00:28:14According to the information you gave Miss Wilson, you're not married, Mr. Bigelow.

00:28:20That's right.

00:28:20Do you have any relatives, family, anyone in San Francisco?

00:28:24No, no one. I don't know. A soul in San Francisco.

00:28:26Where is your home?

00:28:28What is this, Doctor? Why all the questions?

00:28:30You're a very sick man, Mr. Bigelow.

00:28:31Sick?

00:28:32But you told me I was in good shape.

00:28:34Yes, I know. But my preliminary examination didn't reveal your true condition.

00:28:38You sound as if it's pretty serious, Doctor.

00:28:40It's extremely serious.

00:28:41I want you to understand that we wouldn't tell you something like this unless we were absolutely certain.

00:28:46Well, of course, of course.

00:28:47You must steel yourself for a shock, Mr. Bigelow.

00:28:49Well, go on, Doctor. What is it you're trying to tell me?

00:28:51A test revealed the presence in your body of a luminous toxic matter.

00:28:55What is that exactly?

00:28:57A poison that attacks the vital organs.

00:28:59Poison?

00:28:59We have no alternative but to tell you this.

00:29:01Your system has already absorbed sufficient toxin to prove fatal.

00:29:05I wish there was something that we could do.

00:29:08What do you mean, wish? You mean there's nothing?

00:29:09There is nothing anyone can do.

00:29:12This is one of the few poisons of its type for which there is no antidote.

00:29:16This is fantastic!

00:29:17This is the most ridiculous thing!

00:29:20You don't have very long.

00:29:22What do you mean?

00:29:24A day. Possibly a week. Two weeks at the outside.

00:29:27It's hard to say exactly.

00:29:28Well, this is impossible. I don't believe it.

00:29:31You've made a mistake. That's it. It could be a mistake, couldn't it?

00:29:34You have made a mistake. Have you to answer me?

00:29:36Dr. Schaefer is an authority on toxicology.

00:29:38Then no mistake, Mr. Bigelow.

00:29:41Do you realize what you're saying?

00:29:43Well, you're telling me that I'm dead.

00:29:45Do you think you can explain my life away in just a few words?

00:29:48Why, I don't even know who you are. Why should I believe you?

00:29:50You must calm yourself, Mr. Bigelow.

00:29:52We want to offer you every assistance that we...

00:29:54Assistance? Who wants your assistance? Who wants anything from you?

00:29:57You're nothing but a couple of phonies.

00:29:58Why, I think you're crazy.

00:29:59That's it. You're crazy. The both of you, you're crazy.

00:30:02Where's the doctor?

00:30:18You just come in.

00:30:19Come on, tell me.

00:30:19Get out of here, doctor.

00:30:21Shut down.

00:30:23What's the trouble here? What's the matter with you?

00:30:25Doctor, I want you to examine me for luminous poisoning.

00:30:28I'm right in here.

00:30:40Yeah, you've got it all right.

00:30:43Your system has already absorbed it.

00:30:46Are you sure, doctor?

00:30:48Are you absolutely certain?

00:30:50Couldn't there be some mistake?

00:30:51There it is.

00:30:57The toxin is actually luminous in the dark.

00:31:00Now there's no doubt about it, Bigelow.

00:31:03I don't feel sick.

00:31:04My stomach is just a little bit upset.

00:31:07Maybe it's not as bad as you think, doctor.

00:31:09That's characteristic.

00:31:11With a heavy jolt, you go suddenly in a matter of hours.

00:31:13But if the stuff is taken in a lesser degree, you last a while.

00:31:16Well, and then.

00:31:20And then.

00:31:24Give it to me straight, doctor.

00:31:25Well, a number of things are involved.

00:31:27The systemic condition of the individual, the amount consumed, exertion.

00:31:31Yes.

00:31:32You won't feel too badly for a while.

00:31:34Then it will happen suddenly.

00:31:36A day, two days, a week at the most.

00:31:43A day?

00:31:44A day.

00:31:46Two days.

00:31:47There's nothing that can be done now.

00:31:49If it had been caught in time, your stomach could have been washed out.

00:31:52But you've had it in you for some time now.

00:31:53For at least 12 hours, haven't you, Bigelow?

00:31:55I don't know.

00:31:57You don't know?

00:31:58No.

00:31:59Don't you know how you got it?

00:32:00No.

00:32:01This is no accident.

00:32:02Somebody knew how to handle that stuff.

00:32:04That wax is tasteless, notarless.

00:32:06The amount of alcohol in your body, you must have got it in liquor.

00:32:09I was drinking last night.

00:32:10I'll arrange for your admission to the hospital immediately.

00:32:13Of course, I'll have to notify the police.

00:32:16This is a case for homicide.

00:32:18Homicide?

00:32:19I don't think you fully understand, Bigelow.

00:32:22You've been murdered.

00:32:30Get me police headquarters, please.

00:32:32Homicide Bureau.

00:32:33Homicide Bureau.

00:36:21drums. Oh, hello, Paula. Your enthusiasm overwhelms me. Why haven't you phoned me, or is there

00:36:28a quota on telephone calls up there? I'm sorry, I've been busy. I'll bet you have. Visiting

00:36:36the museums, no doubt. What's happening up there that's exciting or different? Nothing,

00:36:41not a thing. I'll bet you miss me, but you're too stubborn to admit it. Sure, sure. You know,

00:36:47if you'd like me to come up, I can pack a toothbrush and leave right away. No. Well,

00:36:51you don't have to snap my head off. You could at least make pretence of missing me. I'm sorry,

00:36:57Paula. Of course I miss you. Listen, Paula, I... Paula, it's just that I don't feel like

00:37:08talking now. I'll call you later. Don't strain yourself. You phone me sometime when you feel

00:37:13more like talking. Oh, by the way, I called that Mr. Phillips back. Phillips? Yes, you

00:37:21know, the man that tried to reach you. Well, I'm afraid you'll never know why it was so important

00:37:24that he speak to you. His office said he died yesterday. Frank, are you there? Did you hear

00:37:32me? Died? When? Yesterday. So you won't have to bother your little head about him anymore. You

00:37:42can just go ahead and have fun. Paula, what did he die from? Do you know? I suppose he died from

00:37:49whatever people usually die from. Well, didn't they tell you? Don't you know? What are you getting so

00:37:54excited about? You said you didn't even know the man. Listen, where's his office located? What

00:37:58difference does it make? You can't talk to him now. I told you, the man's dead. Paula,

00:38:02will you stop talking so much and tell me where his office is? Well, right. It's the

00:38:09Phillips Importing and Exporting Company, Bradbury Building, Los Angeles. Bradbury Building,

00:38:16Los Angeles. That's right. Say, this is really a switch. Listen, if you want to reach me, I'll

00:38:21be in Los Angeles. Are you out of your mind? I'm sorry, Paula. I've got to hurry. Wait a minute.

00:38:25Where in Los Angeles? The Allison. The Allison Hotel. Goodbye, Paula.

00:38:55I'd like to see someone in charge here. What is it in regard to... Well, it's a personal

00:39:08matter. It's quite urgent. Perhaps Mr. Halliday can help you. Who's he? He's our controller.

00:39:12Your name, please? Bigelow. Mr. Bigelow to see you. Send him in. Go right in, please. That

00:39:19door. Mr. Bigelow? How are you, Mr. Halliday? What can I do for you? Well, Mr. Phillips phoned

00:39:33my office several times yesterday. I'd like to find out what it's all about. You know

00:39:37Mr. Phillips died yesterday? Yes, I know. Well, I don't understand. If he phoned you,

00:39:42didn't he tell you what it was about? Well, he didn't speak to me. I wasn't in my office

00:39:46at the time, and he wouldn't tell my secretary. Well, I'm afraid I can't be of much help,

00:39:51Mr. Bigelow. I have no idea why Mr. Phillips tried to reach you. I'm sorry you had to make

00:39:56the trip for nothing. How do you know I made a trip? I didn't say anything about making a

00:40:00trip. I merely said he phoned my office. My office could be here in Los Angeles. Miss

00:40:06Foster. Yes? Didn't you mention something yesterday about Mr. Phillips speaking with Mr. Bigelow

00:40:12in San Francisco? I said that he had phoned Mr. Bigelow's office in Banning, but that

00:40:16Mr. Bigelow was staying at the St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco. I'm sorry you misunderstood

00:40:20me. Do you know why Mr. Phillips called? No, I don't. All right. Thank you, Miss Foster.

00:40:24You can understand that we've been somewhat upset around here. Now, if you don't mind.

00:40:35Do Mr. Phillips have a wife, family, anyone that could help me? You can't intrude on people

00:40:40at a time like this, just to satisfy some curiosity. It isn't just curiosity. Then I

00:40:44suggest you wait a week or so. I can't wait. Well, I'm sorry you'll have to. Well, there's

00:40:47always a phone book. You're a pretty aggressive fellow, Bigelow. Are you quite sure that this

00:40:52is as important as you make it appear to be? It's important. Mrs. Phillips lives at the

00:40:56Sunset Arms Apartments. Thank you. I needn't tell you she's under a strain. I suppose you're

00:41:06capable of using a little more tact with her than you demonstrated with me. I think I

00:41:10can handle it. By the way, what was the cause of Mr. Phillips' death? Suicide. He

00:41:15lived from the balcony of his apartment. Thank you.

00:41:18Come in, Mr. Bigelow. I'm Stanley Phillips, Eugene's brother. Halliday phoned that you are coming.

00:41:43This is my sister-in-law, Mrs. Phillips. I'll try to make this as brief as possible,

00:41:51Mrs. Phillips. I'm afraid I can't be of any help to you, Mr. Bigelow. I haven't the slightest

00:41:57idea why my husband wanted to speak to you. Well, I guess Halliday covered just about everything.

00:42:06Did your husband ever mention anything about me, Mrs. Phillips? Anything at all?

00:42:09No. No. I can't recall Eugene ever having mentioned your name.

00:42:23I hate to ask you this, Mrs. Phillips, but it's of vital importance to me.

00:42:28Do you know why your husband committed suicide?

00:42:30You're certainly not the most diplomatic person in the world, are you, Bigelow?

00:42:41Were you a friend of my brother's? I never met him.

00:42:51My brother was in a jam, a pretty bad jam. He was arrested two days ago. He sold some

00:42:56Iridium to a dealer by the name of Majak. It's a very rare metal, very costly. Anyway,

00:43:01the Iridium turned out to be stolen. He was released on bail yesterday, but he faced a pretty

00:43:05stiff prison term. Men have committed suicide, for less.

00:43:08Yes, I know. That's how the police feel about it. What puzzles me, though, is this crooked

00:43:12deal. Knowing Eugene, you wouldn't say he's the type of man to be mixed up in anything like

00:43:16that, now would you? I told you I never met him.

00:43:18That's right, so you did.

00:43:20Now, what's this all got to do with you, Bigelow?

00:43:21I don't know. Let's complain with each other, Bigelow. Surely you must have some idea why

00:43:25my brother was so desperate to contact you. I have no idea. That's odd. Then how could

00:43:30it be of such vital importance to you? Well, you seem to know the answer to everything

00:43:33else. Maybe you know the answer to that one, too.

00:43:46There's a message here for you to call Operator 82 at Banning.

00:43:49Oh, thank you. Show Mr. Bigelow the room 821.

00:43:52Say, would you have the operator put this call through to my room right away? I'll take

00:43:55it up there. Thank you.

00:43:58Hello, Operator.

00:44:02Here you are. I'll call you if I need anything.

00:44:04Thank you, sir.

00:44:05Hello? Paula?

00:44:07Well, Sinbad, I'd just about given you up for lost. Now, do you mind telling me just why

00:44:12you rushed down to Los Angeles?

00:44:13I can't explain it to you just now, Paula. I just can't explain it.

00:44:20What's going on, Frank? You don't even sound like yourself.

00:44:22Well, I'm... I'm just a little tired, Paula, that's all.

00:44:30But I miss you.

00:44:32Oh, Frank. I can't tell you how good it is to hear you say that. And here I was worrying

00:44:38that I'd lost my charm. When are you coming home, Frank?

00:44:43Soon, Paula. I'll be home soon.

00:44:48I'll go right out and get myself a permanent so I'll be pretty when you see me.

00:44:52Hey, guess what? I found that Phillips name in your notarial ledger.

00:44:57Notarial ledger?

00:44:58Yes, of all places. I remember now I made the entry myself. You had notarized a paper

00:45:03one morning before I came to work.

00:45:05What kind of paper was it?

00:45:07A bill of sale for a George Reynolds made out to Eugene Phillips of Los Angeles.

00:45:12So, you see, I was right. We hadn't done any business with Phillips, only indirectly.

00:45:16What was the bill of sale for?

00:45:17A shipment of iridium, whatever that is.

00:45:19Iridium?

00:45:20You mentioned at the time that this fellow Reynolds had made some kind of a deal in Palm Springs

00:45:24and he stopped in your office early in the morning on his way north to have it notarized.

00:45:28Wait a minute. Wait a minute. George Reynolds, that was about six months ago, wasn't it?

00:45:34That's right. Six months ago.

00:45:35Thanks, Paula. Oh, goodbye.

00:45:38Goodbye.

00:45:41Hello, operator. Get that number back for me.

00:45:54I've got to talk to you, Mrs. Phillips.

00:46:08Please, go away. I want to be left alone.

00:46:11But I found out why your husband wanted to see me. It was in connection with a bill of sale.

00:46:15Come in.

00:46:19What do you know about a man named George Reynolds?

00:46:22George Reynolds?

00:46:22Yes.

00:46:23Why, that's the man my husband claimed sold in the iridium.

00:46:26And what did Reynolds claim?

00:46:27Reynolds disappeared.

00:46:28Yes?

00:46:29About two months ago, my husband grew suspicious that something was wrong.

00:46:34Since then, he tried in every way to locate Reynolds but could find no trace of him.

00:46:37But I don't get it.

00:46:38Your husband could have proved he made a legitimate deal by showing the bill of sale he got from Reynolds.

00:46:42Then there was a bill of sale?

00:46:43Yes. Yes, of course there was.

00:46:44My husband swore there was, but at the time of his arrest, he couldn't find it.

00:46:48It was mysteriously missing.

00:46:51Well, then, if your husband could have shown proof, it would have been George Reynolds who would have faced the prison term.

00:46:55Eugene was convinced that Reynolds had stolen the bill of sale.

00:46:57He was the only one who had reason to eliminate evidence of the transaction.

00:47:00Thank you, Mrs. Phillips.

00:47:04Thank you very much.

00:47:05You've been very helpful.

00:47:07Oh, if you'd only come sooner, Mr. Bigelow.

00:47:10My husband might be alive today.

00:47:13I know.

00:47:13The only thing that puzzles me, Mrs. Phillips, is that you haven't asked how I knew there was a bill of sale.

00:47:26Mr. Holliday isn't in.

00:47:40He should be back shortly.

00:47:41I think you're the one who can help me, Miss Foster.

00:47:44Mr. Phillips tried to reach someone else before he called me yesterday, didn't he?

00:47:47Why don't you ask Mr. Holliday?

00:47:49Obviously, Mr. Holliday wasn't here yesterday, or he wouldn't have had to learn from you that Phillips called me.

00:47:53And you're the logical person to know who else Phillips called.

00:47:56I don't believe that's any of your business, Mr. Bigelow.

00:47:58I don't think you're revealing anything confidential, Miss Foster.

00:48:00I know that he tried to reach somebody else.

00:48:01Mrs. Phillips told me.

00:48:03You're bluffing, Mr. Bigelow.

00:48:04I don't know what you're after, but you're trying to trick me.

00:48:06Mrs. Phillips didn't tell you a thing.

00:48:08How do you know that?

00:48:10Mrs. Phillips knows nothing about it.

00:48:11She doesn't?

00:48:12Well, why wouldn't she?

00:48:13Wait a minute.

00:48:15I was talking about George Reynolds.

00:48:16Who did you think I meant?

00:48:17Just who is it that Mrs. Phillips doesn't know about?

00:48:19I told you before, that's none of your business.

00:48:20All right, young lady, I'm going to give it to you straight.

00:48:22Phillips was murdered.

00:48:22Murdered?

00:48:23I don't believe you.

00:48:24He told me because he needed me to clear him.

00:48:25Phillips was innocent.

00:48:26Innocent men don't have to jump out of windows.

00:48:28Murdered!

00:48:28Just who are you trying to protect, Miss Foster?

00:48:30Why are you so afraid to tell the truth?

00:48:31I'm not protecting anybody.

00:48:33I haven't any more to say.

00:48:34All right, John Cliff, listen to me.

00:48:35This thing is going to explode wide open.

00:48:37If you've got nothing to hide, you better start talking.

00:48:39Or maybe you are, Miss Foster.

00:48:40No!

00:48:41Well, then come on.

00:48:42Mr. Phillips is called Marla Recubian.

00:48:44I went to see her yesterday morning.

00:48:46Who's Marla Recubian?

00:48:47She's a model.

00:48:48She and Mr. Phillips used to be quite friendly,

00:48:50but he hadn't been seeing her for quite some time.

00:48:51Come on.

00:48:52The last couple of months, he'd been trying to locate her

00:48:54and finally learned where she lived yesterday morning.

00:48:56When he returned from singery,

00:48:57he was terribly upset and excited.

00:48:59That's when he had me put in the calls for you.

00:49:01When he couldn't reach you, he went home.

00:49:03The last time I saw him alive.

00:49:06Give me Marla Recubian's address.

00:49:08I don't think Mr. Phillips realized

00:49:10I was aware of his friendship with Marla Recubian.

00:49:14Out of respect for him, I never intended to tell anybody.

00:49:17I had no idea that she had anything to do with the trouble he was in.

00:49:20I admire your discretion, Miss Foster.

00:49:22You know, you must be pretty friendly with Stanley, Miss Foster.

00:49:28He knew how desperately his brother tried to reach me yesterday

00:49:30and he wasn't even here at the time.

00:49:32And now you seem to know all about what happened in Mrs. Phillips' apartment.

00:49:43Mr. Recubian?

00:49:44Yes?

00:49:45What do you want?

00:49:47Get out of here.

00:49:48I'll call the police.

00:49:48Go ahead.

00:49:48Call him.

00:49:50Oh, go ahead.

00:49:51Call him.

00:49:51Going on a trip, huh?

00:49:53Yes.

00:49:54Going away for the weekend.

00:49:55Sailing for Buenos Aires tomorrow, some weekend.

00:49:57I'll send you a postcard.

00:49:58Now get out of here.

00:49:59Who are you going with, George Reynolds?

00:50:01Never heard of him.

00:50:02I suppose you've never heard of Eugene Phillips, either.

00:50:04Just who are you?

00:50:05What do you want?

00:50:06Never mind who I am.

00:50:07Where's Reynolds?

00:50:08I told you I don't know him.

00:50:09Now will you get out of here and leave me alone?

00:50:17So you never heard of George Reynolds, huh?

00:50:19And don't try to tell me that this isn't him because I've seen him.

00:50:21If you think you can scare me, you're crazy.

00:50:23Look, I know that Phillips came here yesterday.

00:50:24And right after he left, he was pushed out of a six-story window.

00:50:27Pushed?

00:50:28Phillips committed suicide.

00:50:29Your playmate Reynolds murdered Phillips.

00:50:31Then he went up to San Francisco to get me because I knew about a certain bill of sale.

00:50:35I don't know what you're talking about.

00:50:37You're in this right up to your pretty little neck.

00:50:39I'm not mixed up in anything.

00:50:40Get your hands up.

00:50:42Drop that picture on the couch.

00:50:43Turn around.

00:50:44Don't get any ideas because I'm not afraid to use this.

00:50:50Give me your wallet.

00:50:56Frank Bigelow.

00:50:57Hotel Alex.

00:51:02All right, now where's Reynolds?

00:51:03I don't know.

00:51:04I don't know where he is.

00:51:05Is that what you told Phillips yesterday?

00:51:06I told him exactly what I'm telling you.

00:51:08I haven't heard from him in months.

00:51:09Yeah?

00:51:10You're mighty careful of the picture of a man you haven't heard from in months.

00:51:13What does the race stand for?

00:51:14It was a pet name.

00:51:15Do you mind?

00:51:16Oh, it sounds very cozy, Miss Recubian.

00:51:19You and Reynolds call each other pet names while you make a sucker out of Phillips.

00:51:22Phillips made the deal because he wanted it.

00:51:23Yeah?

00:51:24I'll bet you you weren't above using what it takes to help make him want it.

00:51:28Who's paying for this trip?

00:51:30I am.

00:51:31Really?

00:51:32A first-class trip to Buenos Aires on a model salary don't make me laugh.

00:51:36Since you and Reynolds aren't seeing each other anymore, you don't mind if I keep this team.

00:51:40If I were a man, I'd punch your dirty face in.

00:51:45You know, I really believe you would.

00:51:50Oh, I almost forgot.

00:51:52Your tickets.

00:51:54Don't be surprised if I'm there to see you off.

00:51:56Angelo.

00:52:20Angelo!

00:52:21Angelo!

00:52:21Oh, Angelo.

00:52:25Do you remember taking this picture of a George Ramos?

00:52:28I take so many pictures, I can't remember them all.

00:52:30This gentleman is a friend of his and would like his address.

00:52:32We have no card on him.

00:52:33I don't think we ought to do that.

00:52:35He's willing to pay $20 for it.

00:52:37That's a paper we used last year.

00:52:39Of course, you understand we usually don't give out the information about our clients.

00:52:42I know, you're a couple of high-class fellas.

00:52:45Revealing anything confidential is against the ethics of our establishment.

00:52:48That's right.

00:52:48Honesty is the best policy.

00:52:49Of course.

00:52:51But in your case, it is much of your personal friend or Mr. Reynolds.

00:52:54Thanks.

00:52:54I knew you'd come through.

00:52:55Got it.

00:52:57Here it is.

00:52:58We don't have his address.

00:52:59He must have called for the picture.

00:53:00But he couldn't have been a very good friend of yours, mister.

00:53:02Because his name is not George Reynolds.

00:53:05It isn't.

00:53:06Well, what is it?

00:53:07It's Raymond Rekubian.

00:53:15Rekubian?

00:53:17What's the news about that?

00:53:19The picture's signed Ray, isn't it?

00:53:21Yeah.

00:53:24Yeah.

00:53:27Thanks.

00:53:28Thanks.

00:53:37Thanks.

00:56:41That's right.

00:56:41Where can we find him?

00:56:42That's what I want to know.

00:56:43Tell me something, Halliday.

00:56:45You're the controller here.

00:56:46How come you didn't know about that bill of sale?

00:56:49Phillips made that deal before I came to work here.

00:56:51Yeah, but you still keep records, don't you?

00:56:52For some reason, which is none of my business.

00:56:55Phillips preferred to keep that among his personal papers.

00:56:58Now, does that answer your question?

00:56:59You came in here today asking for some information that you needed, and I tried to be as cooperative as I could.

00:57:05But now you're beginning to annoy me.

00:57:07So get out before I throw you out.

00:57:09You know, you really frighten me.

00:57:16I'm looking for some of your records.

00:57:19You'll see.

00:57:20Okay.

00:57:21There's no way.

00:57:22There's no way.

00:57:23There's no way.

00:57:23Well, it's about time you showed up, Bigelow.

00:57:50Go ahead, Dave.

00:57:53Real cute, ain't you, Bigelow?

00:57:59Just real cute.

00:58:00Marla didn't lose much time getting a hold of you guys, did she?

00:58:02Shut up.

00:58:03Let's go, Bigelow.

00:58:05Look at him.

00:58:06He can't take it.

00:58:07Soft in the back.

00:58:11You do that again and I'll kick your face out.

00:58:14Lay off, Chester.

00:58:15Cut it out.

00:58:15Shut up.

00:58:16Who asked you?

00:58:20Better let him answer it.

00:58:21The clerk might know he's in.

00:58:22Go ahead, Bigelow.

00:58:30Hello?

00:58:31Frank.

00:58:32Frank, why did you hang up on me?

00:58:33I've been trying to get you for hours.

00:58:35I'm sorry, Paula.

00:58:37I was in a hurry.

00:58:38Well, don't be in such a hurry this time.

00:58:40You didn't give me a chance to finish what I had to say.

00:58:42Listen to me.

00:58:43I wanted to tell you that McGowan was in hollering his head off because you didn't go over the books.

00:58:48Tell McGowan to get another audit.

00:58:50Sure.

00:58:51Sure, I'll just do that little thing and lose the best paying account we've got.

00:58:54Do as I tell you, Paula.

00:58:57Frank, are you...

00:58:58Are you drunk?

00:58:59Paula, how much have we got in the bank?

00:59:02About $2,200.

00:59:05Draw it out tomorrow.

00:59:07Sure.

00:59:09Then what do we do?

00:59:10Skip town without paying our bills?

00:59:12Forget the bills.

00:59:13You know that coat you always wanted?

00:59:15Buy it.

00:59:17You are drunk.

00:59:19You know, if I didn't have such a good character, I'd be tempted to take advantage of your intoxicated state, Mr. Bigelow.

00:59:24I'm not drunk, Paula.

00:59:26Well, then don't tell me that one day away from me can affect you this way.

00:59:30Cut it short.

00:59:33Paula.

00:59:34Yes?

00:59:37I'm...

00:59:37I'm sorry I...

00:59:39I left you.

00:59:41I never realized how much I love you.

00:59:44But I know it now.

00:59:46Oh, Frank, Frank, darling, I love you too so very much.

00:59:52Please come home.

00:59:54I miss you terribly.

00:59:58I said cut it short.

01:00:01I'd just love to let you have it, Bigelow.

01:00:03Let's go, Chester.

01:00:05This guy's kept us waiting long enough.

01:00:06Now, walk in front of me, Bigelow.

01:00:10And keep your mouth shut.

01:00:11If you so much as look cross-eyed at anybody, I'll blow the back of your skull out.

01:00:23This Bigelow's real cute.

01:00:34He wanted to get tough with Chester.

01:00:36He don't know Chester.

01:00:37Did you get the picture?

01:00:39Don't I always get what Mr. Majak sends me after?

01:00:41Majak.

01:00:42That's right.

01:00:46I'm the dealer who bought the iridium from Phillips.

01:00:50I get it.

01:00:51You have Recubian unload stolen stuff on Phillips with the help of Marla here.

01:00:55And then you buy it back from him.

01:00:57Oh, you certainly made a sucker out of Phillips.

01:00:59What is it, Mr. Bigelow?

01:01:03Exactly what is on your mind?

01:01:06I'm looking for Raymond Recubian.

01:01:08Why?

01:01:10Well, now, Marla here has told you everything else.

01:01:11I'm sure she must have told you that, too.

01:01:14You don't expect me to believe this conversation.

01:01:18So, what is on your mind?

01:01:20I mean, underneath.

01:01:23You forced your way into my affairs, and now I want to know why.

01:01:26I just told you.

01:01:27I'm looking for Raymond Recubian.

01:01:30Dog, get cute.

01:01:31I'm just itching to work you over.

01:01:33Soft in the belly.

01:01:35Can't take it.

01:01:37See what I tell you.

01:01:50Can't do that to Chester.

01:01:52I'm going to blow your guts out.

01:01:53Easy.

01:01:54Way up, Chester.

01:01:55Not now.

01:01:57Look at him.

01:02:00He's so scared of Chester.

01:02:01He taught now.

01:02:03He's not afraid, Chester.

01:02:07You can tell from a man's eyes when he is afraid.

01:02:11Look at his eyes.

01:02:12I'm telling you, Majak.

01:02:27You better keep him away from me, or he's really going to have to use that gun.

01:02:32Go away, Chester.

01:02:33Please.

01:02:34Please.

01:02:36Do what I tell you, my boy.

01:02:39Please.

01:02:39And help David.

01:02:44Good job.

01:02:47Ah, you're in pain.

01:02:52He's an unfortunate boy.

01:02:55He's psychopathic.

01:02:58He's unhappy unless he gives pain.

01:03:01He likes to see blood.

01:03:02Come with me, Mr. Bigelow.

01:03:14Raymond Rokobian was my nephew.

01:03:16He could not possibly have tried to kill you.

01:03:18He's been dead five months.

01:03:20I'm afraid you have been sidetracked.

01:03:31Provided it is true that somebody made an attempt on your life.

01:03:34Somebody made an attempt again today.

01:03:36I had no reason to kill you.

01:03:38Believe me.

01:03:39What do you mean you had no reason?

01:03:40I notarized a certain bill of sale.

01:03:43You notarized a bill of sale for Reynolds.

01:03:45Not for Kubia.

01:03:46Now, what I told you was true.

01:03:49I had no reason to kill you.

01:03:51That's a closet, Mr. Bigelow.

01:03:54And under other circumstances, you could go home now.

01:03:59But now you present a problem.

01:04:03You know too much, and I am in danger.

01:04:06Chester!

01:04:07Suppose I were able to prove to you that I only want to find the person who tried to kill me.

01:04:10And I won't cause you any trouble.

01:04:13You know I can go to jail for ten years for this little business.

01:04:16Ten years!

01:04:18At my age, that's my life.

01:04:21That means my entire life.

01:04:22With my life, I do not take chances.

01:04:25I am sorry.

01:04:25Believe me.

01:04:26You want Joe to go with you?

01:04:28No.

01:04:29Just Bigelow and me.

01:04:31And baby Maester.

01:04:32With me, Jack.

01:04:35Goodbye, Mr. Bigelow, and forgive me.

01:04:38Let's go, Bigelow.

01:04:39I guess you won't be there to see me off.

01:05:01You tried to make a boob out of me in front of Major.

01:05:04You shouldn't have done that, Bigelow.

01:05:06I don't like that.

01:05:10I'm going to enjoy this, Bigelow.

01:05:14I done jobs like this before.

01:05:16I knocked off guys I could like.

01:05:20But I don't like you, Bigelow.

01:05:22I never liked that puss of yours from the minute I seen it.

01:05:29I'm going to enjoy this.

01:05:31You ain't scared yet, are you, Bigelow?

01:05:48But you'll be scared.

01:05:49Couldn't be scared.

01:05:51I think I'll give it to you, the belly.

01:05:53You don't like it, the belly?

01:05:54You don't like it.

01:06:02Good.

01:06:03Try it.

01:06:05I'd just love you to try it, Bigelow.

01:06:07Why don't you try it?

01:06:09Go ahead.

01:06:15Didn't have a nerve, did you, Bigelow?

01:06:16Yeah, I think I'll give it to you right in the belly.

01:06:20It takes longer when you get it in the belly.

01:06:36It's nice and slow.

01:06:37That's the way I want to see you go, Bigelow.

01:06:41Nice and slow.

01:06:42Come on, bigelow.

01:06:43Come on.

01:08:27THE END

01:08:32Frank!

01:08:54Frank, are you all right?

01:08:56Yes, I'm all right, Paula, but what are you doing here? How did you get here?

01:08:58Freddie Ross threw me down. I had to come. I had to see you.

01:09:02You shouldn't have come, Paula. You shouldn't have.

01:09:04What is it, Frank? You're in some kind of trouble. I know it.

01:09:07Look at you. You're a sight. Your clothes look as if you've slept in them.

01:09:10Are you ill?

01:09:12You are. You're feverish.

01:09:13I'm all right, Paula, and I'm not in any trouble, believe me.

01:09:16You're lying, Frank. Right after I spoke to you, I got a phone call from the San Francisco police.

01:09:20They asked if I knew where you were.

01:09:21You didn't tell them anything, did you?

01:09:22Of course not. It was the homicide detective that called.

01:09:27What is it, Frank? If you're in any kind of trouble, you certainly can trust me.

01:09:31Look, I'm not in any trouble with the police, Paula. Believe me.

01:09:34But you can't stay here. You've got to go back to Banning right away.

01:09:37No, I won't go, Frank. I won't. I'm staying here with you.

01:09:40Paula, it's better that you go back. Believe me.

01:09:42Why? What's this all about?

01:09:44What have you got to do with this Phillips and Reynolds?

01:09:49Phillips was murdered.

01:09:51Murdered?

01:09:52What could that possibly have to do with you?

01:09:54All you did was notarize a paper. You've notarized hundreds of papers.

01:09:57I know, I know. All I did was notarize one little paper.

01:10:00One little paper out of hundreds.

01:10:02Frank, you frighten me. You don't even act like yourself.

01:10:06I know that you're in trouble, that something is wrong, that you're in serious trouble.

01:10:10You frighten me, Frank.

01:10:12Oh, don't be frightened, Paula.

01:10:14Don't ever be frightened of anything again, will you? Promise me that.

01:10:17I love you so much, darling, more than you seem able to understand.

01:10:21I never really knew happiness until I loved you.

01:10:25Sometimes when I used to be afraid that you weren't sure how you felt,

01:10:27I tried to hold back, but I couldn't.

01:10:30Losing you would have been losing everything.

01:10:32There would have been nothing left.

01:10:33Don't, Paula, don't.

01:10:35Now I'm afraid again. Somehow I feel that I'm going to lose you,

01:10:38but there's nothing I can do about it.

01:10:39I feel so helpless. You're leaving me out of something.

01:10:42Tell me, Frank, what is it?

01:10:43Give me a chance to fight back. Just give me a chance, please.

01:10:46You do love me, darling.

01:10:47Oh, yes, Paula, I love you.

01:10:49I never was more certain of anything in my life.

01:10:52I wasn't sure before. I was a little blind, I guess.

01:10:54But believe me, I'm sure now.

01:10:55Can you understand that, Paula?

01:10:57I understand.

01:10:57A man can be like that, Paula.

01:11:00Something has to happen. It can be a big thing or a little thing,

01:11:03but it can make him realize how much someone means to him,

01:11:05how much he really loves him.

01:11:07Oh, and I love you, Paula.

01:11:09More than I ever thought it possible to love anyone in the world, I love you.

01:11:13Then why won't you tell me about this trouble you're in?

01:11:15Why won't you try to let me help you?

01:11:17You can't help me, Paula.

01:11:21You don't want my help.

01:11:22Oh, Paula, there's nothing you can do. Will you believe me?

01:11:25So will you please go home, please?

01:11:27No, Frank, I won't go.

01:11:29I know you're in trouble. I can't leave you like this.

01:11:34All right, Paula, look, wait for me in the lobby of the hotel,

01:11:37and I'll be back for you soon, I promise.

01:11:38You promise? You're sure?

01:11:39Yes, Paula, I promise.

01:11:42Is that a new outfit?

01:11:45Yes.

01:11:45Oh, it's beautiful.

01:11:47You'll come back to me, won't you, Frank?

01:11:57Yes, Paula, I'll come back, I promise.

01:11:59Please hurry, darling. I love you.

01:12:02I love you, Paula.

01:12:09Goodbye, Paula.

01:12:17Stanley here.

01:12:45You sure?

01:12:48All right, get in.

01:12:51Now get Stanley on the phone. Tell him to come over here right away. Use any excuse you want.

01:12:55What are you going to do?

01:12:56What was Stanley going to do when he used me for a clay pigeon today?

01:12:59I don't know what you're talking about.

01:13:00Don't act innocent with me. I fell for that once.

01:13:02I don't know what you mean. I told you everything you wanted to know this morning.

01:13:05Yeah, you told me just enough so I'd get sidetracked and wouldn't know that Stanley was the one I was after.

01:13:10Stanley? Oh, no.

01:13:13You and Stanley have been together on this from the start.

01:13:15Now, come on. Get on that phone and call him.

01:13:18Don't let him know I'm here.

01:13:19Big along.

01:13:20You've been sidetracked, all right.

01:13:33But it was the poor, bereaved little widow who did it.

01:13:36We're supposed to find this letter this afternoon.

01:13:39Send my brother's desk at the office.

01:13:40It was postmarked two years ago.

01:13:42It wasn't exactly the kind of a letter that a married woman gets from a casual friend.

01:13:48I'm sure my brother wasn't aware that they were so well acquainted when he hired Halliday.

01:13:54What's the matter with him?

01:13:55He hasn't felt right since dinner.

01:13:57When did he have dinner?

01:13:58At Mrs. Phillips' apartment.

01:13:59Halliday was there, too, and Stanley confronted them with that letter.

01:14:03Do you have anything to drink?

01:14:05Yes, what?

01:14:05How long ago?

01:14:07Half an hour ago, just before I came here.

01:14:08It was forced to get on the phone, call the emergency hospital,

01:14:11have him get an ambulance over here right away.

01:14:13What?

01:14:13Tell him to prepare his stomach wash for luminous poisoning.

01:14:16Luminous poisoning?

01:14:16Come on, do what I tell you.

01:14:18He may still have a chance to save his life.

01:14:19But...

01:14:19Go on!

01:14:36I found George Reynolds, Mrs. Phillips.

01:14:38He's been dead for five months.

01:14:40Then he didn't steal the bill of sale.

01:14:42No, he didn't.

01:14:43But you could have stolen it.

01:14:45How dare you?

01:14:46You knew who I was when I came here today.

01:14:49But you were surprised to see me alive, weren't you?

01:14:51But I'm not alive, Mrs. Phillips.

01:14:54Sure, I can stand here and talk to you.

01:14:55I can breathe and I can move.

01:14:57But I'm not alive.

01:14:59Because I did take that poison.

01:15:01And nothing can save me.

01:15:02What do you want to do?

01:15:06I kill you now.

01:15:07I have nothing to lose.

01:15:08No.

01:15:08No, you've got to listen to me.

01:15:09You've got to give me a chance.

01:15:11But I didn't have a chance.

01:15:12It was Halliday.

01:15:13Believe me, it was Halliday.

01:15:14He made me steal the bill of sale.

01:15:16He planned everything.

01:15:17What about this letter?

01:15:18Your husband knew about you and Halliday.

01:15:19He found it only yesterday.

01:15:21He accused Halliday.

01:15:22They fought.

01:15:22And Halliday pushed him over this balcony.

01:15:25And why me?

01:15:25Why did he want to kill me?

01:15:26Because you could have proved there was a bill of sale.

01:15:29That my husband had no reason to commit suicide.

01:15:31Halliday was desperate.

01:15:32After he killed my husband.

01:15:34He found out about the phone calls to you.

01:15:36He thought you spoke to him.

01:15:37That you knew enough to involve him.

01:15:52Where's Halliday?

01:15:54Where is he?

01:15:55He's at the office.

01:15:56This time, you know more.

01:16:00The end.

01:16:01There he is.

01:16:04The end.

01:20:50Oh, my.

01:21:20All I did was notarize a bill of sale.

01:21:28But that piece of paper could have proven that Phillips didn't commit suicide.

01:21:34He was murdered.

01:21:36And that's why Halliday poisoned me.

01:21:46Would you?

01:21:50Paula.

01:21:57Paula.

01:21:57Call the morgue.

01:22:17Johnson, you go to the Allison's hotel.

01:22:19Find Paula Gibson.

01:22:20Don't tell her anything.

01:22:21I'll break it to her.

01:22:26How shall I make out the report on him, Captain?

01:22:31Better make it dead on arrival.

01:22:33Oh, yeah.

01:22:43Don't tell her.

01:22:44Oh, yeah.
