00:00:00The End
00:00:30The End
00:01:00This happened last year, about a week before Christmas.
00:01:10The Harper family lived in a charming community called Balboa,
00:01:14about 50 miles from Los Angeles.
00:01:18Early one morning, Mrs. Harper took her car and drove to Los Angeles and...
00:01:25Mother! Mother, where are you going?
00:01:30Mother!
00:01:52Mother!
00:01:52Oh, my God.
00:02:22Mr. Ted Darby.
00:02:24What's her name?
00:02:25Mrs. Harper. I'd like to see her.
00:02:26Just a second.
00:02:30If there's any calls, you know...
00:02:31Oh, excuse me, honey. You know where you can reach me.
00:02:34Okay, I'll tell her.
00:02:36Mr. Darby wants you to wait for him in the bar.
00:02:38The bar?
00:02:43Every time we get a new singer, Joe is...
00:02:46This television is a big thing.
00:02:48It took me for 50 last night.
00:02:50I don't think the game was on the level.
00:02:52I don't know.
00:03:03Too early to serve anything yet, miss?
00:03:05That's all right.
00:03:06Won't be long. 10 minutes.
00:03:14Morning.
00:03:19Morning, Bob.
00:03:20In the bar.
00:03:22Morning.
00:03:32Mrs. Harper?
00:03:33Yes.
00:03:34Ted Darby.
00:03:35Pete?
00:03:36Ted Miller.
00:03:37So are you a bee's mother?
00:03:39Yes, I am, Mr. Darby, and I...
00:03:40I never realized she had such a young mother.
00:03:43There's quite a resemblance.
00:03:47I'm sorry I can't offer you a drink yet.
00:03:49I didn't come to make a social call, Mr. Darby.
00:03:51What I have to say won't take a minute.
00:03:52As you please.
00:03:53I don't want you to see my daughter again.
00:03:55Isn't that something for Bee to decide?
00:03:57I don't think so.
00:03:58She's only a child.
00:03:59Only 17.
00:04:0018, thanks, Mark.
00:04:01Only 17, Mr. Darby.
00:04:02And it's plain to see she's not old enough to know what's good for her.
00:04:05Mrs. Harper, there's no harm.
00:04:07Bee likes to get around, meet interesting people.
00:04:10I can do that for her.
00:04:11She can get along very nicely without you.
00:04:13You're not the kind of person I want Bee to see.
00:04:15I hope you're not judging by my temporary surroundings, Mrs. Harper.
00:04:18My apartment...
00:04:19I know the kind of man you are, Mr. Darby.
00:04:20I've gone to the trouble to find out.
00:04:22How does Bee feel about all this?
00:04:25I haven't discussed it with her, and I don't intend to,
00:04:27because you're going to stop seeing her.
00:04:28I am?
00:04:29Yes, and there's nothing I won't do to stop it.
00:04:32Maybe we should talk this over.
00:04:35There's nothing to talk over.
00:04:37Yes, there is.
00:04:38You've been pretty frank, and I'm going to be the same.
00:04:42I didn't know how strongly you felt about my seeing Bee,
00:04:45and now that I do, I want to cooperate.
00:04:47I want to help you.
00:04:48I think with a little common sense, we can get this all straightened out.
00:04:51Straightened out.
00:04:52Just how important is it to you that I don't see her anymore?
00:04:55It's very important.
00:04:56I mean, as far as money is concerned.
00:04:58Otherwise, I couldn't possibly promise not to see her again, Mrs. Harper.
00:05:03You won't have to, Mr. Darby.
00:05:04You've made it very simple for me.
00:05:06I can discuss it with her now, and I'll have nothing to worry about
00:05:08when she hears how deeply you feel about her.
00:05:11Goodbye, Mr. Darby.
00:05:28Mr. Darby.
00:05:33Operator, get me Balboa.
00:05:35Harbor, 2626.
00:05:37Miss Beatrice Harper, please.
00:05:49Hey, Mother.
00:05:50How come you went up to Los Angeles this morning and didn't tell any of us?
00:05:53I had some things to attend to.
00:05:55I'm going to put on a new bumper, Mother.
00:05:57I don't think you're too late and put on your shirt, David.
00:05:59Okay.
00:06:05Hello, Father.
00:06:07How's everything?
00:06:08Why didn't you tell us you were going to L.A. this morning?
00:06:11I, uh...
00:06:13I wanted to get to the store before the crowds.
00:06:15Sybil, will you turn that vacuum cleaner off?
00:06:17I can't hear the race results.
00:06:18I don't know why you ought to hear him, Mr. Harper.
00:06:21Hello, Mrs. Harper.
00:06:22Hello, Sybil.
00:06:23You never win anyhow.
00:06:24Sybil, where's Bea?
00:06:25She hasn't talked to anyone all afternoon.
00:06:27She's in your room, Mrs. Harper.
00:06:28You're in your shower again.
00:06:34Is that you, Mother?
00:06:35Yes, Bea?
00:06:36When you're through your shower, I'd like to talk to you.
00:06:40I know.
00:06:41What do you mean, you know?
00:06:44Mother, how could you humiliate me so terribly by going to see Ted?
00:06:48Well, it was a little humiliating for me, too.
00:06:50I'm not used to dealing with people of his kind.
00:06:53Do you know what kind of a man he is?
00:06:55Yes, I know.
00:06:56But you're going to tell me that he's a low, vile character.
00:06:58He is.
00:06:59That he lives in a horrible, dirty hotel.
00:07:01When Ted called, he told me that's about what you'd say.
00:07:04No, wait a minute.
00:07:05I said, wait, Bea.
00:07:07And did your friend, Mr. Darby, also tell you he was perfectly willing not to see you again,
00:07:10providing I made it worth his while financially?
00:07:13I don't believe it.
00:07:15You don't think I'd make up a thing like that, do you?
00:07:18Ted said you made such a scene.
00:07:20He said you got all upset and excited.
00:07:22You might have misunderstood.
00:07:24I didn't misunderstand anything.
00:07:26He made his intentions perfectly clear.
00:07:28Mother, you think you understand people.
00:07:31But you really are terribly old-fashioned.
00:07:33You couldn't possibly understand a man like Ted.
00:07:36I wouldn't want to.
00:07:38Sybil, did you do my blouse yet?
00:07:40I haven't been able to get to it yet, Bea.
00:07:42Well, I asked you a whole hour ago.
00:07:44Bea, you'll not talk like that to Sybil.
00:07:48Sybil, you don't have to do the downstairs today.
00:07:52Bea, let's not lose our tempers. Let's be reasonable.
00:07:55That man is the most important...
00:07:56Mother, I don't care to discuss it anymore.
00:07:58Well, it's not a question of whether you care to discuss it.
00:08:01You're not to see that man again.
00:08:02You must give me your promise you won't see him again.
00:08:04I can't promise that, Mother.
00:08:06No?
00:08:08Then you're not going back to Los Angeles.
00:08:10I'll take you out of art school.
00:08:12You wouldn't do such a thing.
00:08:14I just did.
00:08:16Well, that won't keep us apart.
00:08:18We'll see each other somehow.
00:08:20Oh, Bea, stop acting.
00:08:22You're not to see him again. That's fine.
00:08:24Now, get dressed and pick up your clothes.
00:08:26Mother, can't you trust me?
00:08:28I'm not having a nasty love affair with him...
00:08:30if that's what you think.
00:08:32Bea, I've been stupid and indulgent.
00:08:34Your father wanted you to go to college...
00:08:36and I took your side and persuaded him to let you go to art school...
00:08:38which he felt was wrong...
00:08:40because of the freedom and the people you'd be exposed to.
00:08:42I mistakenly thought you were right thinking enough...
00:08:44to be discriminating about the friends you chose.
00:08:46Well, he was right and I was wrong.
00:08:48You never would have met Darby if we'd listened to him.
00:08:50Now, I know it's difficult for me to understand...
00:08:52but I don't know.
00:08:54I don't know.
00:08:56Now, I know it's difficult for you to understand...
00:08:58because you're still a child.
00:09:00I probably would have felt the same way at your age.
00:09:02The difference is that when you're 17 today...
00:09:05you know what the score is.
00:09:07You're not a child anymore.
00:09:09Bea, I'm not going to sit here all day...
00:09:11and go over the same thing again and again.
00:09:13You're not going to do the...
00:09:14You're not... You're not going to see the...
00:09:16No, don't be calling.
00:09:17That's your father.
00:09:21How's it going with you, son?
00:09:23What?
00:09:24You are, Tom. Wonderful.
00:09:26Hey, Dad.
00:09:27Can I talk to him, Grandpa?
00:09:28Wait a minute, Tom.
00:09:29Here's David.
00:09:30Hi, Dad.
00:09:32Swell.
00:09:33Huh?
00:09:34You ought to see it.
00:09:35It's almost a car now.
00:09:36Let me talk to him, David.
00:09:37Hold it.
00:09:38He's in Philadelphia.
00:09:39He's telling me all about his car.
00:09:40Shh, shh.
00:09:41Tom.
00:09:43How are you, dear?
00:09:45I'm fine.
00:09:47We're all fine.
00:09:48Yeah.
00:09:49There's just one little problem.
00:09:51Bea wants a blue Christmas tree for Christmas...
00:09:54and the rest of us are holding out for a green one.
00:09:56How do you vote?
00:09:58What?
00:09:59You won't be here?
00:10:00Berlin?
00:10:01Oh, Tom, you can't be away for Christmas.
00:10:04I don't care, Tom.
00:10:06They've done without that bridge over there for four years.
00:10:08I should think they could do without it for another two weeks.
00:10:11Oh, I'm sorry.
00:10:12I know it's what we've wanted.
00:10:14It's wonderful, Tom. Wonderful.
00:10:15It has been ordered to Berlin.
00:10:16Yeah, she's here.
00:10:17Wait a minute.
00:10:18Here, David.
00:10:20David just told me.
00:10:22Oh, we're gonna miss you.
00:10:24Yes, I'm fine.
00:10:26Art school?
00:10:28Oh, I'm getting along beautifully.
00:10:32Owen.
00:10:33Oh, I haven't seen it.
00:10:35Well, I haven't seen anyone lately.
00:10:36I've been too busy.
00:10:38Mother wants to talk to you.
00:10:40Hurry home.
00:10:41Tom?
00:10:42What?
00:10:43I think she's taking art school a little too seriously.
00:10:48I'll tell her, dear.
00:10:49And don't worry about anything, darling.
00:10:50We'll all be fine.
00:10:51Goodness, Tom, this isn't anything.
00:10:52You were away three years during the war.
00:10:54Oh, you know I do, Tom.
00:10:55Bye, darling.
00:10:56I'll write tonight.
00:10:57Yes?
00:10:58It's me, Mother.
00:10:59Just a second.
00:11:13Now you can come in.
00:11:32I wanted to say good night.
00:11:34Why aren't you wearing your slippers?
00:11:36I'm hardening my feet for track.
00:11:38Night, dear.
00:11:39Good night.
00:11:40I'd like to see you once fully dressed.
00:11:41Writing to Dad so soon?
00:11:43Boy, a grown-up sure can't be goony.
00:11:45You talked to him just this afternoon.
00:11:47I don't get it.
00:11:48Because we're goony.
00:11:49Night, dear.
00:11:50Night.
00:12:03David, you smell like a garage.
00:12:04I take a shower every morning.
00:12:06Yes, but I have to sleep with you every night.
00:12:09I don't know.
00:12:10You see?
00:12:11I cannot sleep with you all.
00:12:12I can't sleep with you all.
00:12:13You can eat.
00:12:14I'll be right.
00:12:15I can't sleep with you all.
00:12:16I can.
00:12:17I can't sleep with you.
00:12:18I can't sleep with you all.
00:12:20With you all.
00:12:21I can sleep with you.
00:12:23Oh, my God.
00:12:53Oh, my God.
00:13:23Oh, my God.
00:13:53Oh, my God.
00:13:55Oh, my God.
00:14:03Ted.
00:14:04Ted.
00:14:05Where are you?
00:14:06Here in the boathouse.
00:14:08Where are you?
00:14:10In here, Bea.
00:14:11Where?
00:14:12Over here.
00:14:13I can't see you.
00:14:14Here.
00:14:15I can't see you.
00:14:16No.
00:14:23I can't see you.
00:14:25No.
00:14:27B.
00:14:29B?
00:14:45When I got home, she made such a scene.
00:14:48She said I had a promise never to see you again.
00:14:51That you weren't interested in me at all.
00:14:54All you wanted was money.
00:14:56And that if she paid you, you'd never see me again.
00:14:59That's not true, is it?
00:15:02As a matter of fact, B,
00:15:05I am desperate for money.
00:15:07No.
00:15:09What a horrible thing to say.
00:15:11Now look, if your mother does give me the money,
00:15:13that doesn't mean that I won't see you again.
00:15:15Let go. Let go. Go!
00:15:18But B, it doesn't mean I won't...
00:15:26B,
00:15:28You don't understand.
00:15:41B?
00:15:42B?
00:15:52B!
00:15:53B, where were you?
00:15:54What's the matter?
00:15:55What happened?
00:15:56I hate him.
00:15:57I hate him.
00:15:58Baby, come down.
00:15:59Come down.
00:16:00Who was it?
00:16:01It was Ted.
00:16:03Mother, you were right.
00:16:04I know, I know.
00:16:05I never should have gone before.
00:16:06All right, all right.
00:16:07Just try to tell me what happened.
00:16:08I...
00:16:09I was in the boat house.
00:16:10I...
00:16:12All he did for was the money.
00:16:15I hate him.
00:16:16Why, my dear?
00:16:17Where is he now?
00:16:18I don't know.
00:16:19I love you.
00:16:20I love you.
00:16:21You go on upstairs.
00:16:22I'll be up in a minute.
00:16:23I love you.
00:16:25Can I help you, Mrs. Harper?
00:16:48Oh, no.
00:16:49No, thanks.
00:17:25Was he out there?
00:17:38No, he's gone.
00:17:41Oh, Mother, I wish I'd never gone.
00:17:44Oh, don't talk about it anymore, dear.
00:17:45It's over. Come on to bed.
00:17:48Come on, Bea.
00:17:52It was so awful.
00:17:54I just couldn't never go through a thing like that again.
00:17:57You won't have to, dear.
00:17:59I promise you.
00:18:09I'll get you a hot water bottle.
00:18:11We'll help you see.
00:18:18What's all the wrongy up and down stairs, Lucia?
00:18:21Nothing, Father. Bea isn't feeling well.
00:18:23I'm a growing boy. I need my rest.
00:18:25Go back to bed, David.
00:18:26I said go back to bed.
00:18:38Mother, can I have a piece of chocolate cake?
00:18:41Good night, David.
00:18:42Good morning, Mrs. Harper.
00:18:52Good morning, Sybil.
00:18:53You were up awful early this morning.
00:18:56I couldn't sleep.
00:18:57Can I fix you some breakfast?
00:18:59No, thanks, Sybil.
00:19:00You go back to bed.
00:19:01I'm going for a walk.
00:19:03Yes, ma'am.
00:19:03Good morning, ma'am.
00:27:09Well, what do you know?
00:27:11A murder.
00:27:13Three cents stamp, please.
00:27:14Sure, there you are.
00:27:15Murder, eh?
00:27:16Where?
00:27:17Right over on the other side of the highway.
00:27:18And a murder right here in Bellevue.
00:27:19Next.
00:27:20Who was the guy, anyway?
00:27:21Some character by the name of Darby.
00:27:22What do you want of this letter?
00:27:24What?
00:27:25This post office furnished Scotch tape.
00:27:27Do they... do they say who did it?
00:27:29No, but they've got some ideas. They know all about it, Darby.
00:27:33Hey, here's your change.
00:27:35Give me... give me one, please, Bob.
00:27:36Here you are, Mrs. Harper.
00:27:37Thanks.
00:27:38Sure is a nice tree you got there.
00:27:39Guess you're all set for Christmas now.
00:27:41What'd you say?
00:27:42I said, guess you're all set for Christmas.
00:27:44Yes.
00:27:55The tree is on the car.
00:28:12Would you ask David or Mr. Harper to bring it in, please?
00:28:15Yes, ma'am. There's a gentleman been waiting.
00:28:18Who?
00:28:19A Mr. Donnelly.
00:28:21Donnelly?
00:28:24Yes?
00:28:37I'm waiting for Mrs. Harper.
00:28:40I'm Mrs. Harper.
00:28:47My name is Donnelly, Martin Donnelly. I'd like a few words with you.
00:28:51Yes, what about?
00:28:53Do you mind?
00:28:58Do you mind?
00:29:19You'll be wanting these, Mrs. Harper.
00:29:20What are they?
00:29:21Writings.
00:29:22I don't know what you're talking about.
00:29:23These are letters which your daughter wrote to the late Ted Darby.
00:29:27Price is $5,000 cash.
00:29:29Ted Darling, I just wasn't alive until I met you.
00:29:30But you came like a fresh wind blowing through my stuffy room.
00:29:36I don't know, Ted, if I can make up my mind to do what you asked yesterday.
00:29:38I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to leave, Mr. Donnelly.
00:29:42Would you like me to call the police?
00:29:43I wouldn't do that if I were you, Mrs. Harper.
00:29:49But just the fact that you did ask and that you thought I had the courage to take such a chance makes me feel proud.
00:29:56Ted, I'm thinking about it.
00:29:58I'm not sentimental, you know that.
00:30:00But just the same, it is hard to break entirely with the past.
00:30:01Hi, Mother.
00:30:02David!
00:30:03I got trunks on.
00:30:04Hi.
00:30:05This is my son, David, Mr. Donnelly.
00:30:06Hello.
00:30:07Hi.
00:30:08I learned a new song today.
00:30:09Want me to play it?
00:30:10Some other time, David.
00:30:11I'm busy.
00:30:12All right.
00:30:13Mother, there is no appreciation for music.
00:30:14Hey, Mother, you read about the murder?
00:30:15Yes, David.
00:30:16Oh, glamour girl.
00:30:17At last, there's some excitement for you.
00:30:18A guy got bumped off right near here.
00:30:19Excuse me.
00:30:20I'm not mistaken.
00:30:21I'm sorry.
00:30:22I'm not mistaken.
00:30:23You know that, but just the same, it is hard to break entirely with the past.
00:30:25Hi, Mother.
00:30:26David.
00:30:27I got trunks on.
00:30:28Hi.
00:30:29This is my son, David, Mr. Donnelly.
00:30:30Well.
00:30:31Hi.
00:30:32I learned a new song today.
00:30:33Want me to play it?
00:30:34Some other time, David, I'm busy.
00:30:35All right.
00:30:36Mother, there is no appreciation for music.
00:30:37Hey, Mother, you read about the murder?
00:30:38Yes, David.
00:30:39I asked her some excitement for you.
00:30:40A guy got bumped off right near here.
00:30:42Excuse me a minute.
00:30:43Who? Who was it?
00:30:45XR dealer, Ket therapy.
00:30:46Give me that.
00:30:47What are you doing? Cut her out.
00:30:48Let me help her.
00:30:49Hey, no.
00:30:51Dee, stop it.
00:30:53Now she'll call all her arty friends in L.A.
00:30:55and tell them it happened in her own backyard.
00:31:09If we're not to be interrupted again, I would continue.
00:31:12You don't have to continue.
00:31:14Because those letters don't mean a thing.
00:31:16She's only a child. They don't mean anything.
00:31:18Mrs. Harper, you don't seem to understand.
00:31:21The man these letters were written to has been murdered.
00:31:24The police would be greatly interested.
00:31:27Ted, dearie, is dying frantic.
00:31:29The other day I started to talk to mother about you.
00:31:32And it was just awful. She wouldn't understand.
00:31:35How did you get these?
00:31:37Mr. Abbey wanted to borrow some money from us.
00:31:41I didn't think the letters were worth anything.
00:31:43But there was not much else the man had to offer us.
00:31:45We took them off him until he was ready to pay us back.
00:31:48Sort of collateral, you know?
00:31:50Well, you might say it was a bit of luck for us
00:31:52these getting murdered like that.
00:31:54Because now the letters will realize much more than we lent them.
00:31:57As Mr. Nagel would say,
00:31:59we want to liquidate our stock where the market is high.
00:32:02Mr. Nagel's my partner. He's a good businessman.
00:32:05Lucia, where do you want me to put it?
00:32:09Oh.
00:32:10This is Mr. Donnelly.
00:32:12He's from Tom's office.
00:32:14Oh, you know my son.
00:32:16Isn't it great about us going to Berlin?
00:32:18How do you do?
00:32:19I'm terribly sorry you can't stay for dinner.
00:32:22Oh, you're not staying for dinner?
00:32:24No.
00:32:25Oh, it's a big mistake.
00:32:27Civil's making beef and kidney pie.
00:32:29But, Father...
00:32:30You're very kind.
00:32:32But I have someone waiting.
00:32:33Uh, are you from Ireland, Mr. Donnelly?
00:32:35I was born there.
00:32:36Then we have something in common.
00:32:38I'm from Boston.
00:32:39Is that right?
00:32:40As long as you can't stay for dinner,
00:32:42the least we can do is give you a drink.
00:32:45Mother, may I talk to you for a minute?
00:32:49Go ahead. I can wait.
00:32:52Mother, it's all about him.
00:32:55Shhh, not him, Bea.
00:32:56Mother, it says such terrible things and...
00:32:58Disfection.
00:32:59Wait.
00:33:00It doesn't have anything to do with you.
00:33:02But...
00:33:03He was in jail, Mother.
00:33:04He was arrested.
00:33:05I know. I know.
00:33:06And that ugly art business...
00:33:07Bea, it has nothing to do with you.
00:33:08Please listen to me.
00:33:09Whatever happened to that man...
00:33:10I'm glad he's dead.
00:33:11Don't say that.
00:33:12Don't ever say that.
00:33:14Mother, I...
00:33:15There's something I didn't tell you.
00:33:17Bea, whatever happened to that man
00:33:19has nothing to do with you.
00:33:21Nobody knows.
00:33:22Just you and I.
00:33:23So please put it out of your mind.
00:33:24Father, wait a minute.
00:33:25I wrote to them.
00:33:26I wrote a lot.
00:33:28They'll find the letters.
00:33:30No.
00:33:31No, they won't.
00:33:33No one will find anything.
00:33:35I can't ask you.
00:33:36Oh, it's so rotten.
00:33:37It's awful.
00:33:38Get ready for dinner, Bea.
00:33:39I can't go to dinner.
00:33:40All right.
00:33:41I'll bring you something later.
00:33:42Is that gentleman staying for dinner?
00:33:44No.
00:33:45And I hope Father doesn't ask him again.
00:33:47David, stop it.
00:33:48And get this for dinner.
00:33:50Oh, I suppose there's too many more places to go to.
00:33:56Oh, yes.
00:33:57Would you, would you have a...
00:33:59Sibyl's almost ready to serve.
00:34:00It is the summertime.
00:34:01The kids have a marvelous time on those little snowbirds.
00:34:03I can't believe that.
00:34:04I really must be going.
00:34:08Oh, but I haven't had a chance to hear about Tom.
00:34:10Father, I'll tell you all about it later.
00:34:11I'll be seeing you again, Mr. Harper, very likely.
00:34:13Mrs. Harper's going to help me look for a house out here.
00:34:17Good.
00:34:18Tomorrow.
00:34:19Uh, Lucia, did anyone get the paper?
00:34:21I want to get the results of the fourth race at Tropical Park.
00:34:24Gold Admiral, page 660.
00:34:26And Mr. Harper at Caliente Sunday, Rolling Hills in the fifth race to win.
00:34:31Are you sure?
00:34:32I'm sure.
00:34:33Good night, Mr. Harper.
00:34:34Good night.
00:34:35I can't...
00:34:36I can't see you tomorrow.
00:34:39Where shall we meet?
00:34:42You can't come here.
00:34:43I won't have you in my house.
00:34:45I don't have to come back if you're giving her the money now.
00:34:47I have to have time to think.
00:34:50Could you get in touch with your husband?
00:34:52No.
00:34:53The father-in-law.
00:34:54We haven't got $5,000.
00:34:57You'll think of a way to lay your hands on it.
00:35:00Uh...
00:35:01I'll meet you at the... the real estate agency.
00:35:04Tomorrow.
00:35:05It's the one next to the drug store.
00:35:07Nine o'clock.
00:35:089.30.
00:35:10All right, Mrs. Harper.
00:35:12Good night.
00:35:20B's gone up to her room, Mother, and won't come down.
00:35:22I know.
00:35:23I know.
00:35:24What's been bothering me the last few days, Lucia?
00:35:26The artist is starving her garret tonight.
00:35:29Uh...
00:35:30Nice fellow.
00:35:31Was his name O'Donnelly or just plain Donnelly?
00:35:34Donnelly.
00:35:35David, don't take so much butter.
00:35:37Uh...
00:35:38Where'd Tom meet him?
00:35:39I don't remember, Father.
00:35:40Tom meets so many people, he...
00:35:42Is he from Tom's office?
00:35:43I'm not sure.
00:35:45He...
00:35:46He didn't...
00:35:47What's the matter?
00:35:49I have a headache.
00:35:51David, I told you not to take so much butter.
00:35:54Don't you think you should get up, Lee?
00:35:58Everyone's at breakfast.
00:35:59It's late.
00:36:00I'll be there at breakfast.
00:36:04I'll sit and ask questions.
00:36:07Please, I don't wanna go down.
00:36:10Oh, come on now.
00:36:12Fix your face and take a shower and have breakfast downstairs like everybody else.
00:36:16Well, I can't.
00:36:21Couldn't I...
00:36:22Maybe go away somewhere for a while?
00:36:25I don't know, B.
00:36:27Where could you go and how would it look your being away during the holidays?
00:36:30What would David and your grandfather think?
00:36:33Well...
00:36:34If I could go to...
00:36:35Go to Lake Tahoe...
00:36:36To Aunt Edna...
00:36:37That would be perfectly all right.
00:36:39And I wouldn't think anything.
00:36:41Oh, please...
00:36:44Talk to her and see if it's all right.
00:36:47Or maybe...
00:37:11Operator...
00:37:24I want to call Lake Tahoe.
00:37:26Person-to-person call.
00:37:31My number?
00:37:32Harford's getting called, Lucia.
00:37:34Oh, never mind, Operator.
00:37:41I'll get you.
00:38:01I'll get you.
00:38:02I thought we were supposed to meet at the real estate office.
00:38:13It's past 9.30.
00:38:14I'll be right with you.
00:38:24You've got to eat something before you go out.
00:38:32I can fix that.
00:38:42I didn't even know it had a horn.
00:38:45This'll do it.
00:38:46You've been around cars, haven't you, Mr. Donnelly?
00:38:48I used to handle quite a lot of them.
00:38:50When they were hard to get.
00:38:54David, go in and finish your breakfast.
00:38:57Thank you, Mr. Donnelly.
00:38:58The next time the guard comes asking me to roll up the hose, please.
00:39:00Excellent.
00:39:01All right.
00:39:02Go back in the house.
00:39:06Why'd you come here?
00:39:07We were supposed to meet in the village.
00:39:09I'd like to get this over as fast as I can.
00:39:11Yes.
00:39:12We'll have to move faster.
00:39:13Oh, here they are.
00:39:14I'll back my car out.
00:39:15We'll use mine.
00:39:16But...
00:39:17We'll use mine.
00:39:23Did you find a way to get the money yet?
00:39:25Please just drive me to the drug store.
00:39:27I have a call to make.
00:39:33It's a call I can't make at the house.
00:39:37I understand.
00:39:38I understand.
00:40:00That's bad for your health.
00:40:01What?
00:40:02You smoke too much.
00:40:03It's going to be hard for me to go to Los Angeles and get the money.
00:40:08I promised Father and David the car tomorrow.
00:40:09If I want it, there'll be questions.
00:40:10I've been to Los Angeles once this week.
00:40:11That means more questions.
00:40:12You don't know how...
00:40:13How a family can surround you at times.
00:40:14No, I don't.
00:40:15I have to have time to think.
00:40:16I can't just get back to the house.
00:40:17I have to have time to think.
00:40:18I can't just get back to the house.
00:40:19It's going to be hard for me to go to Los Angeles and get the money.
00:40:22I...
00:40:23I promised Father and David the car tomorrow.
00:40:26If I want it, there'll be questions.
00:40:28I've been to Los Angeles once this week.
00:40:31That means more questions.
00:40:33You don't know how...
00:40:34How a family can surround you at times.
00:40:37No, I don't.
00:40:39I have to have time to think.
00:40:41I can't just get the money like...
00:40:42Like that.
00:40:52Hi, Miss Harper.
00:40:53Hello, Mike.
00:40:54I thought I was going to hear from you, Miss Harper.
00:40:56What about?
00:40:57I want to get busy on that roof of yours before we get busy.
00:41:00Oh, well, we'll talk about it when Mr. Harper gets home.
00:41:04Okay.
00:41:05You should have taken my car.
00:41:07Turn left here.
00:41:08There's less traffic.
00:41:16This ought to be deserted enough.
00:41:20My son worked here last summer.
00:41:21Worked very hard.
00:41:22You wouldn't know about that, would you?
00:41:24Sold hamburgers, saved $40.
00:41:27At least he earned it.
00:41:29Do you never get away from your family?
00:41:32No.
00:41:35But Edna, Bea wouldn't care where she slept just as long as she was up there.
00:41:37She isn't hard to manage.
00:41:38Bea isn't like that.
00:41:39Edna, I'm the first to appreciate that you're filled up at Christmas,
00:41:40but Bea hasn't been feeling well.
00:41:41No, she isn't sick, but I want to get her away from here.
00:41:42February.
00:41:43No, Edna, you...
00:41:44What?
00:41:45Operator?
00:41:46My three...
00:41:47Hold on, Edna.
00:41:48I have to get some more change.
00:41:49Hold on.
00:41:50I have to get some more change.
00:41:51Hold on.
00:41:52Hold on.
00:41:53I have to get some more change.
00:41:54Hold on.
00:41:55I need some change.
00:41:56I'm in the middle of a phone conversation.
00:41:58I've got to see the times.
00:42:00I think I'll need one more time.
00:42:02I'll need a time.
00:42:04Thank you, Edna.
00:42:05I've got to see the time.
00:42:06I'm here.
00:42:07I've got the time to see it all.
00:42:08I have to get these key details.
00:42:09I have to get some more change.
00:42:10Hold on.
00:42:11All right?
00:42:12What?
00:42:13Operator?
00:42:14My three...
00:42:15Hold on, Edna.
00:42:16I have to get some more change.
00:42:17Hold on.
00:42:18I need some change.
00:42:19I'm in the middle of a phone conversation.
00:42:21I've got to see the time.
00:42:24I've got to see the times.
00:42:29I think I'll need another quote.
00:42:54Less nicotine, less tobacco, Stan. Nice.
00:43:04Do you sell many of these? Filter holders? Tons of them.
00:43:08Wouldn't it be simpler if you didn't sell the cigarettes?
00:43:12Are you with Mrs. Harper? Yes.
00:43:15These are hers. Oh, thank you.
00:43:18One thing I can't make out, if it's two or three cans of tooth powder.
00:43:22I don't know. I'll make it three. All right.
00:43:28And I'll take one of these.
00:43:31Charged? These are charged. I'll pay for that.
00:43:45Hello, Mrs. Harper.
00:43:47Hello. Did you remember to put my father-in-law's razor blades?
00:43:50Did we?
00:43:53Yes. And here's your change. And three makes a dollar.
00:43:59You ready? Yes.
00:44:02Goodbye, Mrs. Harper. Goodbye, Mr...
00:44:04Cut your wheels. That's it.
00:44:19Was your telephone call successful? Did you arrange anything?
00:44:25I wasn't calling about the money. I have an aunt in Tahoe. I wanted a look after beef for a while.
00:44:31I thought you might have changed your mind about getting in touch with your husband.
00:44:35Will you be doing that?
00:44:36No.
00:44:38I told you I can't do that.
00:44:40Why?
00:44:42It may be weeks before I can reach him.
00:44:44I wouldn't think there was any place that remote.
00:44:45He's traveling.
00:44:46You can cable him on a boat, on a train.
00:44:49What do you expect me to do? Cable thin money? I'm being blackmailed?
00:44:53My husband will get in touch with me as soon as he can.
00:44:55I'm afraid we can't wait that long.
00:44:56Well, I'm afraid you'll have to.
00:44:58I wouldn't even consider trying to raise the money if Bea weren't so...
00:45:00Well, she... if she wouldn't...
00:45:01Well, one has to be careful. Children dramatize things so much.
00:45:04In this case, she's justified.
00:45:05That's ridiculous. Her letters mean nothing. You and I, we both know that.
00:45:08Nevertheless, you're anxious that the police shan't see them.
00:45:09Only because it would make her feel...
00:45:11There's the police.
00:45:13They'll be looking for the one who killed Derby.
00:45:15Now, if they should say, I can't wait that long.
00:45:17I can't wait that long.
00:45:18I can't wait that long.
00:45:19Well, I'm afraid you'll have to.
00:45:20I wouldn't even consider trying to raise the money if Bea weren't so...
00:45:22Well, she... if she wouldn't...
00:45:24Well, one has to be careful.
00:45:25Children dramatize things so much.
00:45:26In this case, she's justified.
00:45:27That's ridiculous.
00:45:29Now, if they should see those letters...
00:45:31Oh, Wednesday, Mr. Donnelly, please.
00:45:32The banks are closed over the weekend.
00:45:33There's nothing I can do.
00:45:34It's too far off.
00:45:36And the car, I've already told you.
00:45:37I can't take the car to Los Angeles again.
00:45:39It'll make my family wonder.
00:45:40It's just impossible for me to get away so soon again on my own.
00:45:44You're quite a prisoner, aren't you?
00:45:45I don't feel like one.
00:45:46Wednesday, Mr. Donnelly.
00:45:48In the years I've been with Nagel, I've seen him handle blackmail deals.
00:45:54Believe me, Mrs. Harper, it's best that you do this through me.
00:45:57My partner's not always as patient as I am.
00:46:00Partner?
00:46:01I don't believe you have a partner.
00:46:02You're on your own.
00:46:03You might at least have the courage to admit it.
00:46:05No, I'm not on my own.
00:46:08We're all involved with each other one way or another.
00:46:11You have your family.
00:46:12I have my Nagel.
00:46:14How can you say that?
00:46:15You and your Mr. Nagel, if he exists, are just a couple of blackmailers held together by a common interest in cheating people.
00:46:23I wouldn't try to raise the money.
00:46:24It's just that Bea...
00:46:26It would be such a shock to her.
00:46:28She's lucky to have a mother like you.
00:46:30Everyone has a mother like me.
00:46:31You probably had one too.
00:46:35When shall I come for the money?
00:46:36I'll have to get in touch with you.
00:46:38I'll call you tonight.
00:46:39Don't you understand?
00:46:40You can't call me.
00:46:42I'll do the best I can.
00:46:43I'll try every way.
00:46:45And then I'll send it to you.
00:46:46But just give me until Wednesday.
00:46:47I'll know by then what I can do.
00:46:49I'll see about it.
00:46:53Would you like to have some lunch now?
00:46:54With you?
00:46:55No.
00:46:56It was perfectly safe with me.
00:46:58Just drop me on the other side.
00:47:00How will you get home?
00:47:01Don't worry. I'll manage.
00:47:06There is a Nagel.
00:47:08I give you my word.
00:47:16All right. Thank you very much, Mr. Harper. Thank you very much.
00:47:18Sorry we couldn't help anymore, Lieutenant.
00:47:20But nobody up at our house ever heard of him.
00:47:22Now, we'll see you again, Mr. Harper.
00:47:23You know, it had me completely fooled.
00:47:25I figured that he was killed up in L.A. and then dumped down here.
00:47:28Well, we know it didn't happen that way, Mr. Harper.
00:47:31You mean because you know he was killed with an anchor?
00:47:33Well, that and some other things, yes, Mr. Harper.
00:47:36You think he was murdered right here in Balboa, Lieutenant?
00:47:38Well, maybe. All right.
00:47:39Well, if it happens to be that way, Lieutenant, we'll give you all the help we can.
00:47:42You see, when I was a young man in the Army, I was always interested in crime.
00:47:45Thank you very, very much, Mr. Harper.
00:47:47You're welcome.
00:47:48We'll see you again. We'll see you again.
00:47:49Goodbye, Lieutenant. Goodbye, now.
00:47:51Goodbye, now.
00:47:53Goodbye, now.
00:47:54Goodbye, here we go.
00:47:55Cast on.
00:47:56Cast on.
00:47:57Cast on.
00:47:58Now.
00:47:59Come on.
00:48:00Good morning.
00:48:01Good morning.
00:48:02Good morning.
00:48:03Good morning.
00:48:04Good morning.
00:48:05Good morning.
00:48:06Good morning.
00:48:07All right.
00:48:08Come on, you kids.
00:48:09You better get on, on the boat.
00:48:10Excited us all over.
00:48:11Come on, now.
00:48:12No lagging behind there.
00:48:13Come on.
00:48:14What are you all doing here?
00:48:15Oh, we had a little excitement.
00:48:16The police just left.
00:48:17You missed it, Mother.
00:48:18The police?
00:48:19Ah, about that Darby.
00:48:20Routine questioning.
00:48:21Well, what'd they want to know?
00:48:22Oh, if anyone in the house knew them or had ever heard of them.
00:48:25No, it is rather an odd case.
00:48:27I can't figure what that type of man would have been doing in this neck of the woods.
00:48:29We were grilled.
00:48:30My darling, you shouldn't be here.
00:48:31Go home.
00:48:32And I think the rest of you better go, too.
00:48:33Want to come up to the house?
00:48:34I got some new records.
00:48:35No, go to someone else's house.
00:48:36I like the lieutenant.
00:48:37But I'd rather be a fireman.
00:48:38Come on.
00:48:39Why did the police come here, Father?
00:48:40After all, they should know what the man was.
00:48:41Why are they checking prices?
00:48:42Why are they checking prices?
00:48:43Why are they checking prices?
00:48:44Why are they checking prices?
00:48:45Oh, they seem to believe that he might have been involved with a family in the neighborhood.
00:49:03Why?
00:49:04Well, he was killed with an anchor.
00:49:06How do they know it was an anchor?
00:49:08The shape of the wound.
00:49:10Besides, they know the body was taken into the swamp by a small boat.
00:49:14A small boat had to come from someplace around here.
00:49:17Have they any ideas?
00:49:19No, I don't suppose they'd tell if they did.
00:49:22You know, somebody saw you out there that morning.
00:49:25What?
00:49:26Yeah, two fellows fishing.
00:49:28The lieutenant wanted to talk to you.
00:49:30Why?
00:49:31Oh, to find out if you'd seen anybody.
00:49:34I told them you hadn't or you'd have mentioned it.
00:49:36Why are they so interested in anyone being on the water at that hour?
00:49:40They know that it was about that time that Darby's body was moved into the swamp.
00:49:44Mrs. Harper?
00:49:45I didn't see anyone.
00:49:47Mrs. Harper?
00:49:48Uh, Sybil's calling you, Lucia.
00:49:51Telephone!
00:49:52Oh.
00:49:53I'm coming.
00:50:11Thanks.
00:50:17Hello?
00:50:18Hello, Mr. Downley.
00:50:20Uh, that Mr. Downley?
00:50:22Yes.
00:50:23Ask him for dinner some night.
00:50:24All right, Father.
00:50:28What is it?
00:50:29I understand you can't talk.
00:50:31Look now.
00:50:32I just called to tell you that he won't wait till Wednesday.
00:50:36He wants the money no later than Monday.
00:50:39And there is a Nagel.
00:50:41I'm afraid there's very much a Nagel.
00:50:43You don't believe me.
00:50:49Listen to me.
00:50:50Listen.
00:50:53If you could get half of it, you don't have to raise...
00:50:56I already told Nagel I wouldn't be wanting my share.
00:50:59And I'd like you to know, too, that if I had the money, I'd pay him off and that would be the end of it.
00:51:06Are you there?
00:51:07Did you hear what I said?
00:51:16I wish you would believe me.
00:51:19I wish things could have been different in many ways.
00:51:23Only one good thing came of it.
00:51:26I met you.
00:51:30Which way did you come into town?
00:51:33I'll meet you at the terminal.
00:51:57Hey, where's the game tonight?
00:51:59I don't know. I'm not playing.
00:52:02I'll tell him the game will be held in room 420 tonight.
00:52:08Talk to her?
00:52:09Yes.
00:52:10She'll have the money Monday?
00:52:12She'll try.
00:52:14What do you give me that she'll try business for?
00:52:17I told you what to tell her. Let's cut out the horsing around.
00:52:21Maybe I'd better go down there and talk.
00:52:22I'm handling this. You lay off. You're not going near her.
00:52:25I'm not, huh?
00:52:26No, you're not.
00:52:28You know, this lady's not in your class, Martin.
00:52:32I often think you get mad at me because I remind you of what you are.
00:52:37You're not respectable, Martin.
00:52:40Relax. Take it easy.
00:52:41Plus payment on house, plus taxes, plus telephone bill, plus piano bill.
00:52:54Plus electric bill, plus water bill.
00:52:55Come in.
00:53:09Mrs. Harper, you hardly touched a thing at dinner tonight. I thought maybe you'd like this.
00:53:24Thanks.
00:53:26Sybil, I didn't put the things away that I got in town this morning. Would you please?
00:53:30Yes.
00:53:34How do people put aside money so they have it when they need it?
00:53:37Christmas sure makes little numbers out of big ones, doesn't it?
00:53:41Sybil, we've got to cut down on the lights. That would...
00:53:45Well, I mean, we're always leaving the lights on and the meat bill, Sybil.
00:53:52No.
00:53:53I can cancel that suit I ordered.
00:53:55Oh, we can watch it a little more, Mrs. Harper.
00:54:01This wasn't on the list. Did you buy the cigarette holder?
00:54:04No. No, I didn't. I'll take it back.
00:54:09Good night, Mrs. Harper.
00:54:10Good night.
00:54:31I really wish you'd understand, Mrs. Harper.
00:54:34Well, that kind of a loan...
00:54:35Hello, Mrs. Harper.
00:54:36Hello.
00:54:37Now, that kind of a loan...
00:54:38May I have your keys, please?
00:54:39We'd have to have your husband's signature.
00:54:41Yes, yes.
00:54:43If you'd given us a little notice, it would only be a matter of a few days.
00:54:46We'd cable to your husband, you see, and settle the matter.
00:54:49It's all right, Mr. Arpin. How do I understand?
00:55:04I'd like to see someone about making a loan.
00:55:05Just a minute.
00:55:06I'd like to see someone about making a loan.
00:55:07Just a minute.
00:55:08Mrs. Loring's free now.
00:55:09Mrs. Loring's free now.
00:55:10She's at the third desk in the room.
00:55:11I'd like to see someone about making a loan.
00:55:13Just a minute.
00:55:14Mrs. Loring's free now.
00:55:15She's at the third desk in there.
00:55:16Just go through the gate.
00:55:23Could you help me?
00:55:24Whom do I see about making a—
00:55:26I, I'd like to see someone about making a loan.
00:55:32Just a minute.
00:55:35Mrs. Loring's free now.
00:55:36She's at the third desk in there.
00:55:38Just go through the gate.
00:55:48How do you do?
00:56:03Won't you sit down?
00:56:04Miss, uh...
00:56:05Mrs. Harper.
00:56:06Harper.
00:56:10H-A-R-P-E-R?
00:56:14Yes.
00:56:15I grow them in my garden.
00:56:17Oh.
00:56:18Now then, what can I do for you?
00:56:21I want to get a loan.
00:56:23I mean, make a loan.
00:56:24No, get a loan.
00:56:26And how much do you wish to borrow?
00:56:28$5,000.
00:56:30I see.
00:56:33And what is the purpose of this loan, if I may ask?
00:56:37Well, I...
00:56:38I need the money.
00:56:40I gathered that.
00:56:42Now, what is the money for?
00:56:43Your ad said no red tape.
00:56:50Well, we must know the purpose of the loan and how you plan to repay it.
00:56:54That's not red tape, is it?
00:56:57No, I didn't...
00:56:57Now, what is your husband's first name and occupation?
00:57:00I thought it was just a question of my signing a note.
00:57:03Well, how much do you think you could repay every month?
00:57:08$50.
00:57:09Mrs. Harper, do you realize how long it would take to pay back the sum you ask at that rate?
00:57:15I guess it would take a long time.
00:57:18Oh, we couldn't consider it Mrs. Harper, really.
00:57:23Do you have any collateral?
00:57:25A car wouldn't cover it, of course, but your house...
00:57:28No, but I have my jewelry.
00:57:29Oh, I'm sorry.
00:57:31We cannot lend money on jewelry.
00:57:33We don't have a pawnbroker's license.
00:57:36It's state law, you know.
00:57:39I see.
00:57:40Well, I guess I won't bother you anymore.
00:57:42Thanks.
00:57:43Thanks just the same.
00:57:44Of course.
00:57:48Merry Christmas.
00:57:48Merry Christmas.
00:58:18Over here, madam.
00:58:33I'd like to borrow some money on some jewelry.
00:58:36All right.
00:58:37Here it is.
00:58:45It's mine.
00:58:48Very nice.
00:58:56Nice setting.
00:58:58If I fill out a date.
00:59:00Yes.
00:59:02How much do you want on this?
00:59:03As much as I can get.
00:59:07Well?
00:59:09I can give you $700.
00:59:12$700, but it's worth so much more.
00:59:14$800.
00:59:18Will you...
00:59:19Are you going to put the things in the window?
00:59:22No, no.
00:59:23Those things in the window are those which the owners haven't redeemed.
00:59:26Or they haven't paid the interest on.
00:59:27I see.
00:59:29Oh, it's late.
00:59:32Here's your ticket, madam.
00:59:33You'll need them.
00:59:33You'll need that.
00:59:38Mm-hmm.
00:59:39Excuse me.
00:59:52Excuse me.
00:59:52Look at all about it.
00:59:55If you need it.
00:59:56Easy.
00:59:57Hey, watch it.
00:59:58Lady, keep your ride open. It's stopped.
01:00:09Bus from San Francisco. Now arriving gate two.
01:00:13Sorry, I'm late. It's longer than I thought.
01:00:15That's all right.
01:00:15No, it's not all right. I could only raise $800.
01:00:17I won't be taking the money. Did you draw that out of your bank?
01:00:20No, I didn't have it. I pawned some jewelry.
01:00:22Well, you can get your things back, all of them.
01:00:24Nagel can't do anything to you now.
01:00:25I don't understand what you mean.
01:00:27If the police know who killed Dabby, they've taken him in.
01:00:30They, they, they what?
01:00:31It's no bother of yours. He's nothing.
01:00:33They, they've arrested someone?
01:00:36I'll get you some coffee.
01:00:37What?
01:00:38Your worries are over now, and I'm glad.
01:00:41Do you want him in a trouble?
01:00:41What do you want, McGraw?
01:00:42Make his people in California yet.
01:00:45They'll keep the girl's name out of it.
01:00:47I'll let his have nothing to do with that.
01:00:48Mr. Donnelly, listen to me, please.
01:00:50And I told her, supposing he had nothing to do with it, this, this what's-his-name.
01:00:54Money, he could have been framed. A lot of people didn't like him.
01:00:56But he's in jail. He's in jail for it. He'll be tried for it.
01:00:59He won't lose a night's sleep over it. He and Dabby, the two of them.
01:01:01But he can't be punished, can he, for something he didn't do?
01:01:03There's no need for you to worry about it. It's no concern of yours.
01:01:07Coffee, please. One coffee, please.
01:01:09Yes.
01:01:10But what if he didn't do it?
01:01:12What if he did?
01:01:13But he didn't do it. He didn't because, well, you see, he couldn't.
01:01:16And the thing is, they mustn't keep him in jail because he didn't do it.
01:01:19Ten cents.
01:01:19Two seats, sir. Let's go. Sit down.
01:01:22Arriving gate four.
01:01:26Will you have a Coke?
01:01:28No, I want an ice cream.
01:01:31Camellias. Buy the lady a camellia, mister.
01:01:34You can't. No, take it easy.
01:01:36But he didn't do it.
01:01:38Do you know who did that?
01:01:40You do know. Come on now, who was it?
01:01:43You're not going to tell me that you killed him?
01:01:45Yes.
01:01:48Well, no.
01:01:50I mean, well, you see,
01:01:53earlier that day, I went to see Darby.
01:01:56I told him he must never meet her again.
01:02:00I told Bea, too.
01:02:02I said if he ever came near her again, I'd...
01:02:05Well, that night, he did come to see her.
01:02:07They met at the boathouse.
01:02:10I went there.
01:02:11There was an awful argument, and I...
01:02:13You couldn't have killed him. I don't believe you.
01:02:15I did. I did.
01:02:17It was with the anchor.
01:02:19A handy little weapon.
01:02:21I pushed him.
01:02:26I pushed him, and he...
01:02:27He fell on it.
01:02:29Later, I had to move him off of it. It was...
01:02:31How did you move him? He was a big man, Darby.
01:02:33You couldn't have done that part of it.
01:02:35Oh, yes, I could.
01:02:36I did, though. I don't know how I did, but I...
01:02:37I don't believe you.
01:02:39I can't help it. It's the truth, and now they're holding on...
01:02:41All right, all right, all right. So you're a murderer.
01:02:43So I believe you, if that's what you want.
01:02:45But you're not to repeat the story to another soul.
01:02:48I want your word on that.
01:02:51How about your family?
01:02:52How would it be for them?
01:02:54Bus for Hermosa, Manhattan Beach, Long Beach, Newport, Balboa, Laguna.
01:02:58Now loading.
01:02:59Bus for Hermosa, Manhattan Beach, Long Beach, Newport, Balboa, Laguna.
01:03:07Now loading.
01:03:08Listen to me.
01:03:10You're out of it now.
01:03:11Don't you see? You're out of it. You're safe.
01:03:12But he's innocent.
01:03:13All right, he's innocent of this, but he's guilty of a hundred other things.
01:03:15So it doesn't matter. It makes no difference.
01:03:17You've got to look at it from all sides.
01:03:20It's your family.
01:03:21You'll have to think out what's going to do the most good in the end.
01:03:24Forget about him.
01:03:25What's the use of sacrificing your family for a man that's no good,
01:03:28that deserves what's coming to him?
01:03:30If he gets it for this,
01:03:32it's the only good thing he's done in his whole life.
01:03:33Don't be trying to think of the right and the wrong of it.
01:03:37You're not dealing with the kind of people you know.
01:03:39You're dealing with the kind of people I know.
01:03:42This is how it'll be.
01:03:45It's the right thing to do, Lucy.
01:03:47It's the right thing.
01:03:48Just you forget this.
01:03:49If you do as I say, it'll be over for you.
01:03:52Tonight I'll have it out with Nagel.
01:03:53You'll have your letters back, and I'll bring them to the house.
01:03:55No, please. Please mail them.
01:03:57I'm sorry, but...
01:03:59Of course, I understand.
01:04:00I'll mail them.
01:04:02I'll mail them.
01:04:11Bus from New Orleans, San Anto, El Paso, Phoenix, now arriving.
01:04:17All right.
01:04:31If he wanted to join, you have to lay six to five.
01:04:33I'm looking for Nagel. Have you seen him?
01:04:34In the bar.
01:04:34All you got to buy for the fire is there.
01:04:36All right, Martin.
01:04:39Wait.
01:04:40No, no, no, no. Just play the same tune again.
01:04:55The same tune again.
01:05:03I need one card right from the beginning.
01:05:05Where's Nagel?
01:05:06It's your pick.
01:05:07You heard Murray got sprung a little while ago.
01:05:10What about a score?
01:05:11So he went for a little drive.
01:05:13Where did you hear him?
01:05:14He said he wanted to get some salt air.
01:05:29Good night, Mrs. Harper.
01:05:32Mrs. Harper?
01:05:34Mrs. Harper.
01:05:37There's a man here.
01:05:39Who?
01:05:40He says his name is Nagel.
01:05:41He's not a nice man, Mrs. Harper.
01:05:43Don't you think we ought to call him?
01:05:44No.
01:05:45Where is he?
01:05:46He said he wanted to see you alone, so I had him wait in the boat.
01:05:48I'll go there.
01:05:49You better tell the folks you're home first.
01:05:50They're awful upset about you being so late.
01:05:52All right.
01:05:53Would you give them a drink and tell them I'll be down as soon as I can?
01:05:55Yes.
01:06:07Well, Lucia, we've been worried sick.
01:06:10Well, the traffic was heavy and the bus was slow.
01:06:13Hey, Mother, can I have a dollar?
01:06:15A dollar, David?
01:06:17What for?
01:06:18What for?
01:06:19I'm going out.
01:06:20Look at me.
01:06:21Boy of distinction.
01:06:22There's a dollar in my desk drawer upstairs.
01:06:25Take it, but one, not two.
01:06:27Okay, fine.
01:06:28Where are you going?
01:06:29Owen Feller asked me and Bea to go to the movies with them.
01:06:32The whole gang's going, but the beautiful Beatrice does not choose to go.
01:06:36Why don't you want to go, Bea?
01:06:37Because, Mother.
01:06:39Oh, you should go, dear.
01:06:41Owen will be terribly disappointed.
01:06:43I just don't want to.
01:06:45I've eaten and I'm tired.
01:06:47Really, Bea, the right thing for you to do is to go.
01:06:50I'm too tired to go into it now, but I wish you'd do as I say.
01:06:53Please.
01:06:54I just can't.
01:06:55Lucia.
01:06:56Lucia, Lucia with Tom away.
01:07:01If you ever want to talk things over...
01:07:04Well, I mean, if you...
01:07:07What I mean is, I'm here, you know.
01:07:10I know, Father.
01:07:11I was on my way to bed, but if you'd like to catch a late movie.
01:07:14No, thanks.
01:07:15Tired?
01:07:18Father, there's nothing wrong that Tom's coming home won't cure.
01:07:23Tonight.
01:07:24I'll do those.
01:07:25You go.
01:07:26Mother, I just don't feel like seeing you.
01:07:27You don't want to see Owen, and I know why.
01:07:28It's ridiculous.
01:07:29Believe me.
01:07:30If anyone ever found out about it...
01:07:31We've gone all through that, and there's nothing more to say.
01:07:32You just can't stop living at your age.
01:07:33Come on.
01:07:34I'm not dressed.
01:07:35You look perfectly all right.
01:07:36I'll give you my fair coat.
01:07:37It looks lovely, aren't you?
01:07:38You've got to see people sooner or later, so you might as well start now.
01:07:51Mother?
01:07:52You tell Bea that she...
01:07:53Hey, she's going?
01:07:54Yes, David.
01:07:55She's going.
01:07:56Atta, girl.
01:07:57Come on.
01:07:58Wait a minute, Bea.
01:07:59I want to roll down your sleeves.
01:08:00There's something in the pocket.
01:08:01Oh, it's just an old shopping list.
01:08:02Shopping list?
01:08:03Huh?
01:08:04I'm nothing, dear.
01:08:05You'd better hurry.
01:08:06Fix your sleeve.
01:08:09Come on.
01:08:10I'll see you when you get home.
01:08:11Have fun.
01:08:12Okay.
01:08:13Oh, I'm not.
01:08:14I'm not.
01:08:15I'm not.
01:08:16I'm not.
01:08:17I'm not.
01:08:18I'm not.
01:08:19I'm not.
01:08:20I'm not.
01:08:21I'm not.
01:08:22I'm not.
01:08:23I'm not.
01:08:24You're not.
01:08:25I'm not.
01:08:26I'm not.
01:08:27I'm not.
01:08:28I'm not.
01:08:29I'm not.
01:08:30I'm not.
01:08:31I'm not.
01:08:32I'm not.
01:08:33Oh, my.
01:08:39Mrs. Harper?
01:08:40Mrs. Harper, would you like me to go with you?
01:08:43No, thanks, Sybil.
01:08:44Well, I'll wait here.
01:08:45You call me if you need me.
01:08:46All right.
01:09:02Well, Duchess, you sure took your time.
01:09:17Well, I couldn't get here any sooner.
01:09:23What do you want?
01:09:24Don't you know?
01:09:25Well, this afternoon, Mr. Donnelly said that I didn't...
01:09:26No, you must be a mighty fast talker.
01:09:28Donnelly was a mighty good man until he ran into you.
01:09:30Now he's gone soft on us.
01:09:31But he said that everything...
01:09:32Let's skip all the talking.
01:09:33Where's the money?
01:09:34Donnelly said too much.
01:09:35Right back where we started.
01:09:36Only this time he's out.
01:09:37I'm taking the whole five tonight.
01:09:38Now.
01:09:39I don't know what you mean, right back where we started.
01:09:40I don't know what you're talking about.
01:09:42Oh, you know what I'm talking about?
01:09:43Oh, you know what I'm talking about.
01:09:45Oh, you know what I'm talking about.
01:09:46Now.
01:09:47Donnelly said too much. We're right back where we started.
01:09:51Only this time he's out. I'm taking the whole five tonight.
01:09:55I don't know what you mean, right back where we started.
01:09:58I don't know what you're talking about.
01:10:00Oh, you know what I'm talking about? Now, where's the money?
01:10:02I haven't got it. I can't get it. I don't have to get it.
01:10:06I don't have to get it because you can't do anything to me anymore.
01:10:09Cut it. Cut it.
01:10:11You might be playing around with Donnelly, but not with me.
01:10:14I tell you, you can't do anything to me anymore.
01:10:16They've got the man who killed Darby. It has nothing to do with my daughter.
01:10:18The letters mean nothing. They've got him.
01:10:20They've got the man they're looking for. You can't do anything to me anymore.
01:10:23I've got news for you, Duchess. Murray was sprung this afternoon.
01:10:27I'm going to do what I should have done in the beginning. I'm going to call the police.
01:10:30I'll get a hold of a newspaper friend of mine and give him these.
01:10:33He'll do the rest.
01:10:35There's nothing the newspapers like more than a beautiful young girl mixed up in a murder case.
01:10:40She had nothing to do with it. Then let her prove it.
01:10:43Donnelly might have been willing to make some kind of deal with you, but not me.
01:10:47I don't care about your daughter, your son, your husband, or anybody else.
01:10:50This is a business proposition with me, and I don't leave this place until I have that money in my hand.
01:10:57So make up your mind now. Either you come clean with me, or I take your daughter's letters to the newspapers.
01:11:02It's as simple as that. So let's quit the stalling, huh?
01:11:04I told her to keep away from her. I told her. I told her. I told her.
01:11:09I told her. I told her. I told!
01:11:16It's as simple as that. So let's quit the stalling, huh?
01:11:20I told her to keep away from her.
01:11:23I told her. I told her.
01:11:26I told her.
01:11:46I told her.
01:11:50And she told her.
01:11:54She told her.
01:11:58Oh, my God.
01:12:28Oh, my God.
01:12:58Oh, get help.
01:13:01You're bleeding.
01:13:04You've got to get him out of here.
01:13:05No.
01:13:06No, you're not going to do that.
01:13:07You've got to get him out of here.
01:13:08No, you can't.
01:13:10It's useless.
01:13:13We've got to call the police.
01:13:16No, no, no.
01:13:17You don't understand.
01:13:18I'll tell them the whole story.
01:13:19Everything that happened.
01:13:20I'll tell them it's my fault, not yours.
01:13:23That you did it for me.
01:13:24I'll tell them that.
01:13:25They'll understand when I tell them everything.
01:13:27It's me and Michael.
01:13:28They'll understand.
01:13:28They know our own kind.
01:13:29You're not like it.
01:13:30He was better than I was.
01:13:32He had no illusions about himself.
01:13:34I never killed a man before.
01:13:40Do you know that when I was a boy, my mother wanted to make a priest of me.
01:13:44She had five sons and would never learn that I was the bad one.
01:13:47I never did a decent thing in all my life.
01:13:52I never even wanted to until you came along.
01:13:56Then I began to think, if only I could turn back and start over.
01:14:01So what happens?
01:14:04As soon as I try to start back, I find myself with this on my hands.
01:14:10Let's take it as a hint, Lucia.
01:14:11Don't make the same mistake my mother made.
01:14:14You don't know me, Lucia.
01:14:15The police know me all right.
01:14:17No, I can't let you take this on yourself and be hounded for murder the rest of your life.
01:14:24I got you into this.
01:14:26It was my way of doing something that's made everything wrong.
01:14:30I'll tell them that.
01:14:32I'll tell them about Bea and Darby.
01:14:35I'll tell them about you.
01:14:38It's the only way.
01:14:39Before you do that, do you mind getting me a drink?
01:14:42I could use one.
01:14:44Be right back.
01:14:47I can't believe it, Mrs. Harper.
01:14:56It's all right.
01:14:57Go upstairs and get some bandages.
01:14:59Mr. Donnelly's been badly hurt.
01:15:01Mr. Donnelly.
01:15:04Yes, but hurry and be careful about Mr. Harper.
01:15:08Hurry, simple hurry.
01:15:15Come on.
01:15:17I thought it was in the bathroom.
01:15:18I couldn't.
01:15:18All right, Uncle.
01:15:19I thought it was in the bathroom.
01:15:20I couldn't.
01:15:20All right, Uncle.
01:15:21You want me to go with you?
01:15:39You better take your coat.
01:15:41pakshira.
01:15:41Not at all RTX bay.
01:15:42You better take your coat for the morning.
01:15:43You better take your coat for your phone.
01:15:44You better take your coat.
01:15:44You better take your coat.
01:15:45Let it only take your coat.
01:15:46Let it open up into the hoop.
01:15:47Get your coat.
01:15:48No�� set aside.
01:15:49Please, trust me.
01:15:50Please, trust me, I'll show you.
01:15:50The può when you help me.
01:15:51You better help him.
01:15:52Leave some people.
01:15:53What do you want in the back.
01:15:53– Come on, me,าน?
01:15:56Donnelly, don't you better?
01:15:59Well, I may.
01:15:59You better take your coat.
01:16:05I beg you when I came around here.
01:16:05Obviously I will look here,
01:16:07be careful.
01:16:07You better take your coat.
01:16:08Donnelly?
01:16:28Sybil, Sybil, my car keys, hurry!
01:16:37You would not have helped him with the police, Mrs. Harper.
01:16:55I'd lie.
01:16:56I wouldn't tell him about the blackmail.
01:16:59I liked Mr. Donnelly.
01:17:03He wouldn't listen to me.
01:17:04If only he would listen to me.
01:17:34Where?
01:17:36On the right side.
01:17:38I see.
01:17:40Something's happening.
01:17:42Stop!
01:17:53Donnelly!
01:17:54Go back to the car, Lucy!
01:17:56Go back!
01:17:57Go back!
01:17:58Go back!
01:17:59Go back!
01:18:00Sibyl!
01:18:01Get away from me!
01:18:02Sibyl!
01:18:03Stop the car and you'll help!
01:18:04No, you can't move that.
01:18:05It's pinned underneath, but it's only in the arm.
01:18:09Lucy!
01:18:10I got these off me.
01:18:13No, don't do that.
01:18:14Leave me just as I am.
01:18:15No, don't even touch me.
01:18:18You mustn't be found here when help comes.
01:18:21You must get away from here.
01:18:22Now listen carefully.
01:18:23Listen carefully, Lucy.
01:18:24Don't you understand?
01:18:25Everything's turned out all right.
01:18:27Finding Nagel here, they'll never know what happened.
01:18:30It'll be...
01:18:32He was with me when I had the accident.
01:18:36But you'll spoil everything if you're here when they come.
01:18:39It'll all be for nothing.
01:18:40Everything will be all right for me in a few minutes.
01:18:41They'll take me to the station.
01:18:42The doctor will fix me.
01:18:43But you must get away from here.
01:18:44Go on, hurry, Lucy.
01:18:45Go on now, Lucy.
01:18:46Go on, Lucy.
01:18:47Go on, get away.
01:18:48Jake.
01:18:49I'm sorry.
01:18:50I'm sorry.
01:18:51I'm sorry.
01:18:52You must have courage, Lucy, and leave me.
01:18:53You'll spoil everything if you stay.
01:18:54It'll all be for nothing.
01:18:56Everything will be all right for me in a few minutes.
01:18:58They'll take me to the station.
01:18:59The doctor will fix me.
01:19:01But you must get away from here.
01:19:05Go on, hurry, Lucy.
01:19:07Go on now, Lucy.
01:19:09Hurry now.
01:19:11Go on, get away.
01:19:13Come on, Mrs. Harper.
01:19:38I'll drive.
01:19:43Go home.
01:19:44Stop.
01:19:45Stop.
01:19:46Stop.
01:19:47Stop.
01:20:09Stop.
01:20:10Mrs. Harper, telephone. Berlin calling.
01:20:40It's Mr. Harper. He's on the phone.
01:21:00Mother, we saw a terrible accident.
01:21:02Quiet, David. It's Mr. Harper, Berlin.
01:21:05Mother, we had to make a detour.
01:21:07Hi, Dad.
01:21:08The police said that the man who was in the accident confessed to killing Darby.
01:21:13They got to him just before he died.
01:21:15And Mother, they told me who it was.
01:21:23Here she is. Just a second, Dad.
01:21:25What's going on down there?
01:21:27It's Dad, Grandpa.
01:21:31Tom?
01:21:32Tom, we've mailed your Christmas packages.
01:21:35We're going to have a blue Christmas tree.
01:21:37Everything's fine except we miss you terribly.
01:21:42Yes, Tom.
01:21:45We're going to have a blue Christmas tree of the city.
01:21:49We're going to have a blue Christmas tree in the city.
01:21:51But we're going to have a blue Christmas tree.
01:21:53You're going to have a blue Christmas tree here.
01:21:54It's a true crucial room tonight.
01:21:56All that are happy with you.
01:21:57It's a great day.
01:21:58It's our glory of the sunrise.
01:21:59All that are close to us.
01:22:01Have a good day.
01:22:02All that are close to us.
01:22:03I'm not sure if we had a blue Christmas tree.
