00:00:00The
00:03:29Uh, can I see Mr. Roman?
00:03:32What do you want to see him about?
00:03:34Well, I'd like to give him something that belongs to him.
00:03:37What do you want?
00:03:46Uh, can I see Mr. Roman?
00:03:49What do you want to see him about?
00:03:50I'd like to give him something that belongs to him.
00:03:53Come inside.
00:04:02Come inside.
00:04:06What was it you just said at the door?
00:04:17I said I wanted to see Mr. Roman.
00:04:21What for?
00:04:22What for?
00:04:23Well, I've got something for him.
00:04:26Could mean a lot of things.
00:04:28What have you got?
00:04:31You're not Mr. Roman.
00:04:34How do you know?
00:04:35Well, you just don't fit.
00:04:39Is it all right, Mr. Gino?
00:04:42I guess it's all right.
00:04:45But I'll take him in myself.
00:04:46It's all right.
00:05:04Here.
00:05:31See Eddie there.
00:05:34I like it.
00:05:41It's all right.
00:05:45You're a good barber, Miss Garnish.
00:05:48Thank you, Mr. Rahun.
00:05:51How do you feel?
00:05:53I mean, how does it feel being a barber?
00:05:57Cutting men's hair.
00:06:01It feels good, huh?
00:06:02Look at her. She's blushing.
00:06:07Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Roman, you moved.
00:06:10But you didn't.
00:06:11Quick enough.
00:06:16Get her out of here.
00:06:18Stupid dame.
00:06:19The beast.
00:06:22The filthy beast.
00:06:41Hey, you.
00:06:42Hey, you.
00:07:02Catch him.
00:07:03What can I do for you, Jack?
00:07:14Are you Mr. Roman?
00:07:16That's right.
00:07:17What you'd like to have this back?
00:07:30Is it mine?
00:07:32It's got your name in it.
00:07:34Where'd you find it?
00:07:36Well, I don't remember the name of the street.
00:07:39It was in front of a restaurant, though.
00:07:44How much was in it?
00:07:45$81.
00:07:47I spent a dollar and a half for breakfast.
00:07:50There's $79.50 there now.
00:07:51How do you like there for an honest guy?
00:07:56I don't.
00:08:00Silly law-batting jerk.
00:08:04How do you like that?
00:08:06He comes all the way out here just because he found it.
00:08:09You know, you ought to get a medal.
00:08:12So you don't go buy him a medal.
00:08:13Gino, go buy him a medal.
00:08:15Thanks. I got a medal.
00:08:21Ex-GI, huh?
00:08:23Yes, I was in the Navy.
00:08:29I like him.
00:08:31I want to do something for him.
00:08:32Give him a sauerbuck.
00:08:34That's the trouble with you, Gino.
00:08:36You have no appreciation for honesty.
00:08:44Tell me something.
00:08:47What made you bring the wallet back?
00:08:51Well, I don't know.
00:08:53Now that I'm here, I wonder myself.
00:08:56I guess I'm just a sucker.
00:09:02I like that, too.
00:09:04Can you drive a car?
00:09:06Yes, sir.
00:09:08When you got a job, what do you need two chauffeurs for?
00:09:10Fire or Claiborne?
00:09:12All right.
00:09:13No, wait a minute.
00:09:14I don't want to take another fellow's job.
00:09:16Take it easy, Chad.
00:09:18The name's Scott.
00:09:19Chuck Scott.
00:09:24Okay, Scotty.
00:09:27Hello, Fats.
00:09:29Fats, what do you do besides talking the telephone all the time?
00:09:32I've been trying to reach you for 45 minutes.
00:09:35Oh, never mind that.
00:09:36How about Johnson?
00:09:37Did you contact him yet?
00:09:39Or what's he still all this time?
00:09:42Oh.
00:09:44I'll have him at my house for dinner Wednesday night.
00:09:48No Fats, not Thursday.
00:09:50Wednesday.
00:09:51John?
00:09:53Yes?
00:09:54Right.
00:09:55Be right there.
00:09:56Thanks, Job.
00:09:57Yes. Right. Be right there. Thanks, Job. Oh, Job. Like in the Bible? Kings, Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Ezra, Job. Fine, I won't forget it. Bye.
00:10:27Come on, Tommy.
00:10:43Come on, Tommy.
00:10:47Come on, Tommy.
00:10:54Come on, Tommy.
00:10:56Come on, Tommy.
00:11:02Come on, Tommy.
00:11:17Come on, Tommy.
00:11:21Come on, Tommy.
00:11:36Come on, Tommy.
00:11:40Come on, Tommy.
00:11:55Mr. Roman, there's something wrong. I can't slow the car down.
00:11:59Relax, Scotty. I take care of all that back here. You just handle the wheel.
00:12:03You mean you...
00:12:04That's right.
00:12:05Yes.
00:12:07Yes.
00:12:26He's right on time.
00:12:27Eddie, you don't know how...
00:12:28He drives.
00:12:30We'll find out.
00:12:32Maybe not.
00:12:34I'm going to do this.
00:12:37How, fuck this...
00:12:41Nice, guys, please.
00:12:46Take care.
00:12:51Yeah, please.
00:12:52Okay, Father.
00:12:53Yeah, it's okay.
00:12:55Oh, that's right.
00:12:57Let me.
00:12:58Yes.
00:12:59Let's go.
00:13:29How do you feel, Scotty?
00:13:40Fine.
00:13:41But I don't get it.
00:13:43Who does?
00:13:46He's all right.
00:13:47He's a good chauffeur.
00:13:49You're all right, Scotty.
00:13:51Thanks.
00:13:52What do we do now?
00:13:55You take over.
00:13:59She's all yours.
00:14:04Well, Mr. Johnson, how do you like our little house?
00:14:07Oh, it's charming.
00:14:09However, I never thought I'd enjoy the pleasure of having dinner here.
00:14:14You know, Mr. Johnson had the idea I didn't like him.
00:14:17Just because he took away some of my business.
00:14:20I guess he doesn't know you too well.
00:14:22Well, I must say there aren't many men would have taken it the way your husband has, Mrs. Roman.
00:14:29Live and let live.
00:14:32That's my motto.
00:14:36Isn't that so, Gino?
00:14:38Oh, the world is big enough for all of us.
00:14:41You too, Mr. Johnson.
00:14:42Well, thank you, Gino.
00:14:48I have a very interesting house, too, in Havana.
00:14:51I'd be very pleased if you'd all come and visit me sometime.
00:14:54You've been in Havana, haven't you, Mrs. Roman?
00:14:56No, I've never been there.
00:14:58No, Mrs. Roman doesn't travel very much.
00:15:00Oh, I'm sorry.
00:15:02Doctor's orders?
00:15:03No, mine.
00:15:11Well...
00:15:12If you'll excuse me,
00:15:14I'll...
00:15:15I'll let you go on with your business.
00:15:19Oh, good night, Mr. Johnson.
00:15:22Good night, Mrs. Roman.
00:15:23It was nice meeting you.
00:15:34She's lovely, isn't she?
00:15:36Oh, she's beautiful.
00:15:39How about a little brandy?
00:15:40Well, I don't mind if I do.
00:15:44Where's Tommy?
00:15:45Oh, he behaved badly.
00:15:47I put him in a cellar.
00:15:49Oh, Tommy's a dog.
00:15:51It's a big dog.
00:15:52Oh, yes.
00:15:53I'm not drinking alone, am I?
00:15:54No.
00:15:55No.
00:15:56Mr. Roman,
00:15:57could I ask you a very personal question?
00:16:00Yes, of course.
00:16:01What is your business, really?
00:16:06Gino,
00:16:07what business would you say we were in, really?
00:16:11No, I'd say
00:16:12the amusement business.
00:16:15The amusement business?
00:16:17Yes.
00:16:18Strictly for laughs.
00:16:19All kidding, Mr. Johnson.
00:16:27I still want to buy those two ships of yours.
00:16:29But I don't want to sell.
00:16:31Well, maybe we can talk you into it.
00:16:33What do you say, Mr. Johnson?
00:16:35Well, I'll think it over.
00:16:37Oh, no, that'll be too long.
00:16:42I could let you know tomorrow.
00:16:44No, tonight.
00:16:45Well, how much would you give me for them?
00:16:55Nothing.
00:17:08Oh, you're joking, huh?
00:17:10Oh, well.
00:17:12I've had a lovely evening,
00:17:14but I've got to run along.
00:17:15We can go into it further tomorrow.
00:17:16Oh, no, you can't go now, Mr. Johnson,
00:17:17without seeing the rest of the house.
00:17:18Well, you haven't even seen the upstairs.
00:17:20Or the wine cellar.
00:17:21Oh, we have a nice wine cellar.
00:17:22Well, I would like to see the wine cellar.
00:17:30Napoleon brandy?
00:17:331815?
00:17:34Oh, Gino, I don't believe it.
00:17:36Why, I didn't think there was a bottle
00:17:37of real Napoleon brandy left in existence.
00:17:40Why, Gino, do you realize that...
00:17:42Gino?
00:17:44Gino?
00:17:49Gino?
00:17:52Gino?
00:17:53Hey, Gino.
00:17:54Gino?
00:17:59Gino?
00:18:04Gino?
00:18:05Gino?
00:18:09Gino?
00:18:13Hey, Gino!
00:18:19Gino?
00:18:23G... Gino!
00:18:32Hold up.
00:18:33Gino?
00:18:35Gino?
00:18:37Gino?
00:18:39Gino?
00:18:41No, no!
00:18:42No!
00:18:44No, no...
00:18:45Go!
00:18:53Help!
00:18:54Help, help!
00:18:56No.
00:19:03Oh, my God.
00:19:33Turn off here, please.
00:20:03Oh, my God.
00:20:33Stand off the clothes, nurse.
00:20:52Think you better step back.
00:20:54What happened to Claiborne?
00:21:01He's gone.
00:21:04It's Mrs. Wilman.
00:21:08I beg your pardon.
00:21:10I didn't know.
00:21:12Oh, that's all right.
00:21:13Well, I think I like it better the other way.
00:21:26Is there anything I can do?
00:21:28Yes, I think it's three years ago.
00:21:32If you can't do that, call me Miss.
00:21:35And if you can't do that, just look the other way.
00:21:43You can go back to the car.
00:21:59What's out there, straight ahead?
00:22:29Um, well, Havana, I think.
00:22:36Have you ever been there?
00:22:38Yes, I was a long time ago.
00:22:43What was it like?
00:22:45Oh, for me, it was cheap hotels, cheap restaurants, cheap friends.
00:22:56All places are like me at Brooklyn.
00:22:59It would be worth $1,000 to me, to get to Havana.
00:23:06$1,000?
00:23:08Yes.
00:23:10Steamship tickets only about $30.
00:23:14I could never make it alone.
00:23:17Why not?
00:23:19Have you ever been afraid?
00:23:21Really afraid?
00:23:22What do you want me to do?
00:23:27I want you to take me to Havana.
00:23:31But why me?
00:23:34I think I can trust you.
00:23:36You mean, you think I look like I, um, need $1,000, huh?
00:23:45Oh, have it your way.
00:23:47But I still think I can trust you.
00:23:51When can we go?
00:23:53How soon can you leave?
00:23:55Now, right this minute.
00:23:56That's a pretty long swim.
00:24:03I'll check the sailings tomorrow.
00:24:08Think I'd better take you home now?
00:24:09All right.
00:24:19That'll be $42.20.
00:24:21Sign that, please.
00:24:23Two tickets for Havana tonight, please.
00:24:26I'm sorry, there's no space available.
00:24:27We're completely sold out.
00:24:29Are you sure?
00:24:31Just a moment.
00:24:32There may be a cancellation.
00:24:34Yes, here's one.
00:24:39But it's a single cabin.
00:24:40Will that do you?
00:24:41Uh, yes, it'll have to.
00:24:44How many tickets?
00:24:45Uh, two.
00:24:46How much is that?
00:24:48That'll be $57.60.
00:24:53Sign there, please.
00:24:57The SS Cuba.
00:24:59Leaves spare 26 at 11 o'clock tonight.
00:25:01Thank you, sir.
00:25:03Keep the check.
00:25:26Hello?
00:25:28I'll take it, Joe.
00:25:29Yes, ma'am.
00:25:29I got the tickets for Havana.
00:25:50It's on a ship called the, uh, Cuba.
00:25:53Leaves 11 o'clock tonight.
00:25:54Now, listen carefully.
00:25:55Have dinner with him, as usual.
00:25:57At 9.30, say you want to take a drive.
00:25:59I'll be waiting in my room. Now, don't you call. Have Job call, as usual.
00:26:02I'll bring the car around.
00:26:03No, don't worry. They don't know where I am.
00:26:05Yes, I'm picking him up at the Union Bank, now.
00:26:08Good. See you later. Bye.
00:26:25Let's go.
00:26:45The flowers. Did you take care of them?
00:26:47Yes. The red and white rose is a big anchor.
00:26:51A hundred and fifty bucks.
00:26:53You know where they were fifteen years ago in Cicero?
00:26:56Same roses, the same anchor.
00:26:59Could have picked it up for a double saw bug.
00:27:01Maybe two bits.
00:27:06Hundred and fifty bucks.
00:27:08Brother, I don't care what they say. That's inflation.
00:27:16Scotty.
00:27:18Yes, sir?
00:27:20Mrs. Roman goes for a drive almost every day, doesn't she?
00:27:24Yes.
00:27:26Where did she go?
00:27:28Nowhere in particular.
00:27:29What do you mean nowhere?
00:27:31Just along the beach.
00:27:35Always the same place.
00:27:38Yes, yes, same place.
00:27:39Oh, you know that.
00:27:41I didn't.
00:27:42I didn't.
00:27:45I want to go there, Scotty.
00:27:47Uh, now?
00:27:49Now.
00:27:54Yes, sir.
00:27:55What do you see out there?
00:28:10I wouldn't know.
00:28:13What do you see out there, Scotty?
00:28:14Sky?
00:28:15Water?
00:28:17Must have a special meaning for her.
00:28:19What does it mean to you?
00:28:21I don't know.
00:28:22I'm not a psychiatrist.
00:28:24You don't have to be to figure this out.
00:28:26Is that right, Gino?
00:28:27I'd say she was contemplating a voyage.
00:28:32Has she ever said anything to you about it?
00:28:34No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:28:40Is that right, Gino?
00:28:42I'd say she was contemplating a voyage.
00:28:52Has she ever said anything to you about it?
00:28:57Why would she tell me?
00:29:01You've got the kind of face women like to talk to.
00:29:09...
00:29:18...
00:29:24...
00:29:27...
00:29:31...
00:29:32...
00:29:37Let's go.
00:30:07Let's go.
00:30:37Let's go.
00:31:07Let's go.
00:31:14Eddie, they're gone.
00:31:18Where do you think they've gone, Gino?
00:31:19I don't have to think I know.
00:31:22To a van on Cuba.
00:31:24Found it in a wastebasket.
00:31:26What do you want me to do?
00:31:39Play the other side.
00:31:40Let's go.
00:31:41Let's go.
00:31:42Let's go.
00:31:44Let's go.
00:31:46Let's go.
00:31:48Let's go.
00:31:49Let's go.
00:31:50Let's go.
00:31:54Let's go.
00:32:56I haven't played in a long time.
00:33:04Still scared?
00:33:06I'm getting over it.
00:33:09But you don't get over three years of terror in one night.
00:33:15He couldn't follow us here.
00:33:16What's our first stop?
00:33:26Havana.
00:33:29It looks like all roads lead to Havana.
00:33:33That's what you want, wasn't it?
00:33:35I owe you $1,000.
00:33:49Who did it belong to before?
00:33:50They don't ask you that when you spend it.
00:33:56You don't get over $1,000.
00:33:59No, you're not.
00:34:02It was worth looking.
00:34:04I don't care.
00:34:04It's worth looking.
00:34:05I get over $3,000.
00:34:06Whatever has happened.
00:34:06That's it.
00:34:06It's worth looking.
00:34:08I don't.
00:34:09What?
00:34:40Chuck.
00:34:52Chuck.
00:35:10Chuck.
00:35:11Chuck.
00:35:12Chuck.
00:35:13Chuck.
00:35:14Chuck.
00:35:15Chuck.
00:35:16Chuck.
00:35:17Chuck.
00:35:18Chuck.
00:35:19Chuck.
00:35:20Chuck.
00:35:21Chuck.
00:35:22Chuck.
00:35:23Chuck.
00:35:24Chuck.
00:35:25Chuck.
00:35:26Chuck.
00:35:27Chuck.
00:35:28Chuck.
00:35:29Chuck.
00:35:30Chuck.
00:35:31Chuck.
00:35:32Chuck.
00:35:33Chuck.
00:35:34Chuck.
00:35:35Chuck.
00:35:36Chuck.
00:35:37Let's go!
00:36:07I love you, Charles.
00:36:22I love you, Lord.
00:36:32That's not our book.
00:36:35How much time do we have?
00:36:37Don't forget time.
00:36:40You think we'll make it?
00:36:43We've got to.
00:36:53What are we stopping here for?
00:36:56What was that?
00:37:00Take us back to the boat.
00:37:05Did you hear me? Take us back to the boat.
00:37:07I already told you the horse is tired.
00:37:10Chuck, let's get out.
00:37:20Say, our boat leaves in an hour for South America.
00:37:26How much of a walk is in here at the docks?
00:37:29I don't understand English.
00:37:31Let's go, Pancho.
00:37:36What did he say?
00:37:39Something about not understanding English.
00:37:44He must not understand money either.
00:37:47He didn't take his fare.
00:37:48Chuck, what do we do now?
00:37:51I don't know.
00:38:00Let's get a drink.
00:38:01Let's get a drink.
00:38:04All right.
00:38:06Wait a minute.
00:38:09We should go back to the boat.
00:38:11Who's afraid now?
00:38:12We should go back to the boat.
00:38:38Still scared?
00:38:39What was the first half?
00:38:41We should go back to the boat.
00:38:43Excuse me.
00:38:44Yes, sir.
00:38:52Pardon me.
00:38:56Pardon me.
00:38:58Pardon me.
00:38:59Pardon me.
00:39:00Let's do it!
00:39:30All the calling's here
00:39:34Here's your tears and ecstasy
00:39:48Their lovers capture
00:39:51Moments of rapture
00:39:55My heart will always be
00:39:59My heart will always be
00:40:17Havana
00:40:20Like the stars in a dream song
00:40:24And guitars in a theme song
00:40:28You're a promise of love
00:40:33Havana
00:40:37Lover's thrill to your splendor
00:40:41As your harbor surrenders
00:40:46To the moon high above
00:40:50There's no yearning heart and terror
00:40:56Don't need any steam heat here
00:41:02The steam heat
00:41:05There's no yearning heart and terror
00:41:12Havana
00:41:14Tell me again.
00:41:27I love you, darling.
00:41:29I love you.
00:41:33Darling, I don't care what happens now.
00:41:36I just don't care.
00:41:38Laura, don't keep saying that.
00:41:39Please don't keep saying it.
00:41:42I won't.
00:41:44I won't say it anymore.
00:41:47Because I do care.
00:42:03Marquetto.
00:42:05Laura.
00:42:07What's the matter?
00:42:08Laura!
00:42:10Laura!
00:42:11Laura!
00:42:14Laura!
00:42:14Laura!
00:42:14Oh, God.
00:42:44Oh, God.
00:42:54Mark on a scar?
00:42:56Knife wound. No other marks.
00:43:03We're waiting, Mr. Scott.
00:43:09Oh, can I make you understand you've got the wrong man?
00:43:15I loved her.
00:43:16You loved her so you killed her.
00:43:19That's understandable.
00:43:22She was all I had.
00:43:23So you made sure no one could take her from you.
00:43:26Oh, you're blind.
00:43:28Why would we come all this way together?
00:43:30I let you tell me why.
00:43:33Just answer three questions.
00:43:36How long had this woman been in Havana?
00:43:41Oh, we got off the boat around six o'clock this evening.
00:43:47Eight hours ago.
00:43:49Had she ever been here before?
00:43:51No.
00:43:52Did she know anyone here? Anyone at all?
00:43:54No.
00:43:55There is your answer.
00:43:57Do you still insist somebody else did it?
00:43:59In a place where she had just arrived?
00:44:01In a place where she had never been in her life before?
00:44:04And above all, with your own knife?
00:44:06It wasn't my knife.
00:44:07But you just admitted a moment ago it was your knife.
00:44:09I didn't admit my knife.
00:44:10I merely said it looked like my knife.
00:44:11But it wasn't.
00:44:12Oh, yes.
00:44:14Now I remember.
00:44:16The knife you bought.
00:44:17You did buy a knife.
00:44:18Yes, I bought a knife!
00:44:20Save your strength, my friend.
00:44:21You may need it.
00:44:28Your knife.
00:44:30Let me see.
00:44:33Describe it again, please.
00:44:34I'm sorry.
00:44:39On the handle of the knife I had,
00:44:40the little carved monkey was holding his ears.
00:44:45The knife you've got is covering his eyes.
00:44:46You can see that.
00:44:47He's covering his eyes, but not mine.
00:44:50Don't joke.
00:44:51If you don't believe me, ask the shopkeeper.
00:44:53Find out what kind of a knife I bought.
00:44:54Are you sure this is the place?
00:45:05Yeah, yeah, that's it.
00:45:09I repeat, for a stranger in Havana,
00:45:10you certainly found an out-of-the-way place
00:45:12in a very much of a hurry.
00:45:14We didn't find it.
00:45:16I told you a guide brought us here.
00:45:18I know.
00:45:19The guide who kept pestering you,
00:45:20the one who drove you to the nightclub, huh?
00:45:22You don't believe anything, do you?
00:45:25My clients have a chronic tendency to color the truth.
00:45:32You first, Mr. Scott.
00:45:41Just a moment, please.
00:45:42Not so quick.
00:45:53Where's Chin?
00:45:57I'm Chin.
00:45:59I'm Lieutenant Acosta, Homicide Squad.
00:46:05What can I do for you?
00:46:06Madam, would you please tell the gentleman...
00:46:08We'll ask the questions.
00:46:12Take a look at this man here.
00:46:15Did you ever see him before?
00:46:16Yes.
00:46:18When?
00:46:20The gentleman was here earlier tonight.
00:46:23Alone?
00:46:24No.
00:46:25He was with the lady.
00:46:27Did he buy anything?
00:46:29Silk handkerchief for a lady.
00:46:32That all?
00:46:34The gentleman also bought a knife.
00:46:36What kind of knife?
00:46:38A knife with a jade handle.
00:46:40It got letters.
00:46:41It got fruit.
00:46:43To hang on a wall, maybe.
00:46:45Describe the jade handle.
00:46:46A jade handle.
00:46:48A jade handle had a carved monkey.
00:46:49We know that.
00:46:50Describe the monkey.
00:46:52Monkey was holding his eyes.
00:46:53So.
00:46:57You're crazy.
00:46:58I bought the one that was holding his ears.
00:47:01The gentleman is mistaken.
00:47:04Are you sure the one he bought was holding his eyes?
00:47:07They come three to a set.
00:47:09First one assaulted his gentleman.
00:47:11The others I still have.
00:47:13I can show you.
00:47:15Show me.
00:47:22These are imported from Hong Kong.
00:47:25I only wanted one set.
00:47:27It cost too much.
00:47:29Never sold any except for this gentleman.
00:47:33See?
00:47:39Well, Mr. Scott.
00:47:45I don't understand.
00:47:48I'm sure I bought this one.
00:47:50The one that's holding its ears.
00:47:52Why did you buy any knife?
00:47:53I didn't buy a knife.
00:47:55I mean, I didn't intend to buy a knife, but...
00:47:57Lorna was looking for jade, and she said the only jade she had was on the knife handles.
00:48:02The one we finally bought was this one.
00:48:05The one that's holding its ears.
00:48:07Perhaps Madame Chin switched to the knives, huh?
00:48:10She must have.
00:48:14Did you ever see Chin before?
00:48:19No.
00:48:20Then why would she change the knives?
00:48:21I don't know.
00:48:22I don't know.
00:48:34Answer me!
00:48:38Why would she change the knives?
00:48:43I don't know.
00:48:44Because you are a stranger, and only because you are a stranger,
00:48:50we've given you every chance to clear yourself.
00:48:55You should have been locked up an hour ago.
00:48:59Admit it.
00:49:00You know you killed her.
00:49:06Admit it!
00:49:09All right.
00:49:10Then you did kill her.
00:49:16Yes.
00:49:18Why, Mr. Scott?
00:49:26Because she was afraid.
00:49:28Because she wanted to go back.
00:49:29Back? Where?
00:49:31To her husband.
00:49:32Her husband?
00:49:34Her name wasn't Mrs. Scott.
00:49:36Her name was...
00:49:38Mrs. Eddie Roman.
00:49:40We left Miami together last night on the Cuba.
00:49:42We docked here this morning.
00:49:44We didn't leave our cabin until it was dark.
00:49:45We wound up in that...
00:49:47nightclub.
00:49:50We had a drink there.
00:49:56Mr. Scott.
00:49:58You are a gentleman.
00:50:02Only from the viewpoint of the police, of course.
00:50:06Have a seat.
00:50:11Horrible, and they're very innocent.
00:50:12He waiting.
00:50:14We're going.
00:50:16Geo.
00:50:17buster.
00:50:19Horrible.
00:50:24Oh
00:50:54Un momento
00:51:06¿No viste su nombre?
00:51:10Sí, le subió hasta el último piso allá
00:51:12Arriba
00:51:13Llévese allí
00:51:14Muy bien, jefe

00:52:56Debe estar aquí en este edificio
00:52:57Vamos a buscarlo
00:52:58Tiene que estar aquí adentro
00:53:00¡Abra la puerta!
00:53:05¡Es la autoridad!
00:53:09¡Abra la puerta!
00:53:12¡Adelante!
00:53:13I don't know.
00:53:14I don't know.
00:53:15I don't know.
00:53:16I don't know.
00:53:17I don't know.
00:53:18I don't know.
00:53:19I don't know.
00:53:20He's in this building.
00:53:21Let's go.
00:53:22Yes, he's in the building.
00:53:23We'll find him.
00:53:24Sure, let's go.
00:53:29Soon.
00:53:37Thanks a lot.
00:53:39Say, you...
00:53:44You never saw me before.
00:53:47But you helped me.
00:53:49Why?
00:53:51Cups.
00:53:53I hate cups.
00:53:59Is there a...
00:54:00Any other way out of here?
00:54:02Only the way you came in.
00:54:04A very kind of?
00:54:07Yeah.
00:54:09Yeah, I'm an American.
00:54:11Miss, I just thought of something.
00:54:13Do you know the man who takes the pictures at the La Habana Club?
00:54:15You know the little flashlight photographs?
00:54:18Not that it matters now, but...
00:54:20I just thought that...
00:54:21Maybe he did get something.
00:54:23And if he did...
00:54:24It might...
00:54:39That was a price for those floating stripes.
00:54:40Yet...
00:54:41Mm-hmm.
00:54:42That's a good one.
00:54:43That's a good one.
00:54:44You got it.
00:54:45I've got it.
00:54:46Good one.
00:54:47I don't know.
00:54:48I don't know.
00:54:49I'm going to find it.
00:54:50I'm going to find it.
00:54:51I think it's the right thing.
00:54:53I'm going to have to find it.
00:54:54I'm going to be exact.
00:54:55To the right.
00:54:56I've got it on.
00:54:57It was just a good one.
00:54:58I'm going to have to find it.
00:55:00I'm going to find it.
00:55:01I'm going to find it.
00:55:02I
00:55:23Happy happy
00:55:27Oh
00:55:57No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:56:20We pay you the same as we paid the last time
00:56:23and not one cent more.
00:56:25Then perhaps I do business elsewhere.
00:56:27Look, we run the stuff across, not you.
00:56:30What do you have to do?
00:56:31Just wear out that seat.
00:56:33Of course, that you do.
00:56:35I don't mind assuming the usual business risks,
00:56:37but when it comes to knifing women...
00:56:39Knifing women?
00:56:40All you did is switch a couple of knives.
00:56:42I had a visit from the police tonight.
00:56:46They asked a lot of questions.
00:56:48In our business, you can't afford visits from the police.
00:56:52No.
00:56:57No.
00:57:01No.
00:57:02I don't mind how it can.
00:57:05I'm engaged now.
00:57:06I'm scared.
00:57:07I was cold.
00:57:08I was scared.
00:57:08I'm scared.
00:57:09I'm scared.
00:57:10I'm scared.
00:57:11I'm scared.
00:57:12I'm scared.
00:57:12I'm scared.
00:57:12I'm scared.
00:57:13I'm scared.
00:58:44No, dear.
00:58:45No?
00:58:47Then you're out of business.
00:58:48I don't think so.
00:58:50No.
00:58:51Who's going to buy your stuff?
00:58:53You are.
00:58:54Yeah?
00:58:55Why?
00:58:56If you don't, certain people may find out certain things which you might not want to mention.
00:59:05Sorry you said that.
00:59:07I'm sure it had to be said.
00:59:08I'm sure it had to be said.
00:59:08I'm sure it had to be said.
00:59:08You're out of business.
00:59:10I'm sure it had to be said.
00:59:10Good night.
00:59:14Oh, my God.
00:59:44Oh, my God.
01:00:14Oh, my God.
01:00:44Oh, my God.
01:01:14Oh, my God.
01:01:44Oh, my God.
01:02:14Oh, my God.
01:02:45Commander Davidson, just a moment, please.
01:02:48Commander Davidson's office.
01:02:50Who?
01:02:52Oh, of course I remember you, Scott.
01:02:54Yes, he's here.
01:02:56Of course you may.
01:02:57Just a minute.
01:02:58Chuck Scott would like to speak to you, sir.
01:03:06Fine.
01:03:06He's on the phone.
01:03:08Oh.
01:03:10Hello, Chuck.
01:03:10You said, if I ever needed you, I could call.
01:03:16Well, I need you now.
01:03:19Yes, sir.
01:03:23Well, it's happened again.
01:03:25Yes, sir.
01:03:28Yes, sir.
01:03:29Well, I'll be there as soon as I can get there.
01:03:35Thanks, sir.
01:03:41Take it easy, Chuck.
01:03:42Now, let's try and start with the beginning.
01:03:49There doesn't seem to be any beginning.
01:03:52All I can remember is the...
01:03:54the end of it.
01:03:57Sit down, Chuck.
01:04:14Yeah, but this outfit...
01:04:16where'd I get this uniform?
01:04:21In the room I woke up in.
01:04:24How'd I get in that house?
01:04:27Let's talk about what you remember.
01:04:29Forget about the uniform.
01:04:32Well, yes, I was...
01:04:33I was running away from the police.
01:04:36In Havana.
01:04:37In the middle of the night.
01:04:39But, Chuck, you haven't been to Havana
01:04:41in three or four years, to my knowledge.
01:04:43So we can eliminate that.
01:04:45That's dream stuff.
01:04:47But the girl that you met here in Miami.
01:04:49That's real.
01:04:51The girl that you drove to the beach.
01:04:54The one that wanted to know
01:04:55what's out there straight ahead.
01:04:58That girl.
01:05:02Yes.
01:05:05But that's all I remember.
01:05:07What she said.
01:05:10But the beach.
01:05:11You said you remember the beach.
01:05:13Yeah, the beach.
01:05:15But that's all.
01:05:19Why do you keep looking at the clock?
01:05:23I don't know, Doc.
01:05:26I keep feeling that there's something
01:05:27that I've got to do.
01:05:30Don't let that worry you.
01:05:32That's symptomatic in shock cases.
01:05:35But you did remember to call me.
01:05:37You did remember to come here.
01:05:38You're pretty well out of it, Chuck.
01:05:45Yes, but I keep feeling that I...
01:05:46I know.
01:05:47Technically, this would be identified
01:05:49in a case such as yours
01:05:51as an anxiety neurosis.
01:05:54That sounds terrible, doesn't it?
01:05:57But it's not, Chuck.
01:05:59Believe me, it's not.
01:06:01You understand?
01:06:02Yes, sir.
01:06:09I still keep feeling that I've...
01:06:11I've got the tickets for the van
01:06:23at about at least 11 o'clock tonight.
01:06:24Now, listen, careful.
01:06:26Have dinner with them as usual.
01:06:289.30, so you want to take a drive.
01:06:29I'll be waiting in my room.
01:06:31See you later.
01:06:32See you later.
01:06:32See you later.
01:06:32See you later.
01:06:32See you later.
01:06:41Be happy, Lorna.
01:06:45We're going to have fun tonight.
01:06:47I'm going to take you out.
01:06:48We'll go to the Florida club.
01:06:51Or would you rather go for a ride?
01:06:53Take a look at the ocean.
01:06:56Scotty showed me a rendezvous this afternoon.
01:07:00Got a very nice view.
01:07:01You're very nervous this evening, Lorna.
01:07:12What's the matter?
01:07:14Job, will you please tell Scotty to bring the car around?
01:07:20Scotty's gone.
01:07:24Gone?
01:07:25Yeah, quit.
01:07:27He saw him leave.
01:07:29He even yelled after him.
01:07:30He didn't even turn around.
01:07:32It's going to cost you $125 for a new uniform.
01:07:37Still want to go for that ride?
01:07:41Thanks, now.
01:08:00Good evening, Commander.
01:08:01Good evening, Ben.
01:08:06What did you bring me here for, sir?
01:08:07Now you drink.
01:08:09Do you like bourbon?
01:08:10Yes, sir.
01:08:12Two bourbons and water, Ben.
01:08:14Yes, sir.
01:08:15The drink will do you a lot of good.
01:08:17It'll help you to let go, relieve the tension.
01:08:19That's all you need, Chuck.
01:08:28Ben, turn the clock to the wall.
01:08:31What's the idea?
01:08:32My friend is a clock watcher.
01:08:34It's sir.
01:09:37I don't understand you, Lana.
01:10:00I just don't understand you.
01:10:07Why don't you answer it?
01:10:14Might be Scotty.
01:10:17It couldn't be Scotty.
01:10:19How could it be Scotty?
01:10:21Gino said...
01:10:22Maybe he quit.
01:10:23Maybe he didn't.
01:10:25Answer the phone.
01:10:32Answer it.
01:10:37Hello.
01:10:38It's for you.
01:10:44Yes?
01:10:45Who wants to talk to him?
01:10:51The Fats.
01:10:52Yeah, I wanted to see you.
01:10:53Talk to you about your place.
01:10:58I'll be right over.
01:10:59Wait for me.
01:11:00No.
01:11:01Alone.
01:11:02No.
01:11:03Alone.
01:11:04No.
01:11:05Alone.
01:11:06No.
01:11:07No.
01:11:08I'll be right over.
01:11:09Wait for me.
01:11:10No.
01:11:11Alone.
01:11:12No.
01:11:13Alone.
01:11:14No.
01:11:15Alone.
01:11:19No.
01:11:20It's for me.
01:11:23No.
01:11:24No.
01:11:25I'll be right over.
01:11:26You never see.
01:11:27I'll be right over.
01:11:28Turn over.
01:11:29Come.
01:11:30I'll be right over.
01:11:31Tell me I'll be right over to you.
01:12:03You've been reading the paper, huh?
01:12:21Mr. Johnson was an obstinate man.
01:12:28I don't like obstinate people.
01:12:33Aidy.
01:12:35Aidy.
01:12:36Aidy.
01:12:37Can't we talk things over together?
01:12:51Like two civilized human beings?
01:12:53All I want.
01:12:55I know. All you want is to leave this house.
01:12:57The way I came in.
01:13:00I had nothing then.
01:13:02I'm asking for nothing when I leave.
01:13:05Just let me go.
01:13:11Living in this house for three years, you must have found out a lot of things.
01:13:16I wouldn't tell anyone.
01:13:26Joe.
01:13:29Aidy.
01:13:31Please, Aidy.
01:13:32Aidy.
01:13:33Don't have him lock me in.
01:13:45Joe.
01:13:48Joe.
01:13:49Keep this door locked, Joe.
01:13:50Mrs. Roman's not to leave her room until I get back.
01:14:03Understand?
01:14:04Yes, sir.
01:14:05Yes, sir.
01:14:17Doc.
01:14:20Her name was Lona.
01:14:26Lona.
01:14:27What?
01:14:40What was her name?
01:14:42Good evening, Mr. Roman.
01:14:43Hello, Sally.
01:14:44How are you?
01:14:45Fine, thank you.
01:14:46Hello, Albert.
01:14:47I've been waiting for you.
01:14:48Thank you, Mr. Roman.
01:14:49Good evening, Eddie.
01:14:50Hi, Eddie.
01:14:51How's he going?
01:14:52Hello, Albert.
01:14:53Good evening, Eddie.
01:14:54Hi, Eddie.
01:14:55Good evening.
01:14:56And how is Mrs. Roman tonight?
01:15:02Quite well, thank you, Albert.
01:15:04Should we join you later?
01:15:05No.
01:15:07How about a little supper, Mr. Roman?
01:15:09No, I think I'd like a bottle of wine.
01:15:11L'Anson 28.
01:15:14Yes, sir.
01:15:15L'Anson 28 here.
01:15:16Yes, sir.
01:15:22Eddie, why don't you let me have him picked up?
01:15:24How far can he get in that uniform?
01:15:26He'll grab him in a minute.
01:15:32Chuck, I've got to make a phone call.
01:15:34We'll be back in a minute.
01:15:35Yes.
01:15:44Are you listening?
01:15:45Why don't you let me have him picked up?
01:15:49What I want to know, I can't ask him in the police station.
01:15:52What do you think the deal was?
01:15:58Eddie, don't get mad, but they had something cooked up.
01:16:02What I can't get is the guy running out.
01:16:07Maybe he didn't.
01:16:08Look, Dr. Averson.
01:16:10I'm still at the Florida Club.
01:16:25Yes, for the reason.
01:16:27Oh?
01:16:28Well, I'll be back in about a half an hour.
01:16:32Bye.
01:16:36My dog.
01:16:37Oh, hello, Rowan.
01:16:45Hello, Doc.
01:16:46How are you, doctor?
01:16:48How's the Navy?
01:16:49Fine.
01:16:50Commander, huh?
01:16:51Look at all this spinach.
01:16:53You've done all right for yourself.
01:16:55Not bad.
01:16:56How's Mrs. Rowan?
01:16:58Fine, thanks.
01:17:00I haven't seen you since you joined.
01:17:02Yes, it has been sometime.
01:17:04Oh, won't you sit down and join us?
01:17:05No, thank you.
01:17:07I have a friend waiting for me at the ball.
01:17:08When are you getting on?
01:17:33I may stay in.
01:17:34How do you like Sawyer?
01:17:36Turn your practice over to a small guy.
01:17:38I like him very much.
01:17:39So does Lorna.
01:17:42Lorna.
01:17:43Lorna.
01:17:46Mrs. Rowman.
01:17:48Why, of course, it was silly of me.
01:17:51Sure you want to join us for that drink?
01:17:53No, thank you.
01:17:54My friend's still waiting for me.
01:17:56Nice seeing you.
01:17:57Remember me to your wife.
01:17:58Well, hello, Job.
01:18:22Job, keep away from that door.
01:18:25Oh, yeah, that's right.
01:18:27Job, like in the Bible.
01:18:43Chuck.
01:18:46Chuck.
01:18:47I didn't think you were coming.
01:18:54I didn't think you believed any of the things I told you.
01:19:00I believed you.
01:19:11You want to buy your best fancy?
01:19:13Sure, I'd like to send you the place, Eddie, but I don't like the way you buy.
01:19:18Pardon me, uh, will you okay this, Chuck?
01:19:23Aren't you afraid you missed your boat, Eddie?
01:19:30What did you say, Fancy?
01:19:31I said, aren't you afraid you'll miss your boat?
01:19:34What boat?
01:19:36Aren't you leaving for Havana tonight?
01:19:39What are you talking about?
01:19:41I swear I saw your car at the docks this afternoon.
01:19:44Okay, it's a secret, it's all right.
01:19:51Start all over.
01:19:53Only slower this time.
01:19:55I saw your chauffeur, buy two tickets for her.
01:20:00Skip it.
01:20:01I didn't see a thing.
01:20:03Gina, I'll call the house.
01:20:04I'll call the house.
01:20:30They're on the queue where they left 15 minutes ago.
01:20:32If they're on the queue where they left 15 minutes ago, but I don't think they're on the queue.
01:20:36Don't ask me why, because I don't know.
01:20:38I don't think they're on the queue where they're on the queue.
01:20:40I found a mistake and we'll find them on the...
01:20:43Yeah, here it is.
01:20:47The Cristobal.
01:20:48Freighter.
01:20:49These pure 42, 1130.
01:20:56Watch the road, I'm taking over.
01:20:57What time are we shoving off?
01:21:14Freighter loading, another hour, maybe two.
01:21:17No, they're still loading.
01:21:19We won't pull out of here for another hour yet.
01:21:21I'll stay down on the pier till we leave.
01:21:23Bad break.
01:21:24Only two ships leaving for Havana tonight, this and the Cuba.
01:21:26Keep this door open.
01:21:52Keep this door open.
01:21:56Keep this door open.
01:21:58Don't touch me.
01:21:58fif mundial.
01:21:59Oh, my God.
01:22:29Let's go.
01:22:59Let's go.
01:23:29Let's go.
01:23:30Let's go.
01:23:31Let's go.
01:23:32Let's go.
01:23:34Who is it?
01:23:35Chuck.
01:23:36I didn't think you'd ever get back.
01:23:43Chuck, will this boat ever get started?
01:23:46It doesn't matter now.
01:23:47What do you mean?
01:23:48Tell me again.
01:23:49I love you.
01:23:50I love you.
01:23:51I love you.
01:23:52I want you.
01:23:53I want you.
01:23:54I want you to keep telling me that as long as we're here.
01:23:55I want you to keep telling me that as long as we're here.
01:23:56I love you.
01:23:57I want you to keep telling me that as long as we're together.
01:23:58I love you.
01:23:59I love you.
01:24:00That'll be forever.
01:24:01That'll be forever.
