00:00Oh, Fishy.
00:12Here go, Fishy.
00:30Is anybody home?
00:49Is anybody home?
00:52You left the water running.
01:00Operator, could I have the...
01:13Never mind, Operator.
01:17We'll talk about it later.
01:18Just a minute.
01:39All right, here I come.
01:43Can't you wait?
01:45Please.
01:47Well, horse, here we are.
01:49What do you mean, here we are?
01:50How simple can a sentence be?
01:52Here we are.
01:53Nous sommes ici.
01:54Nous sommes ici.
01:55Nous sommes ici.
01:56Or, as the Russians say...
01:58Leo, what are you doing here?
01:59Not that it's nice seeing you, darling,
02:00but Henry's supposed to take you directly to the Bel Air Gardens.
02:03She won't let me, boss.
02:04She said, no, Bel Air Gardens.
02:06She said...
02:06Take me to Captain Burke's house.
02:08After all, if I'm going to be your guest
02:10for the three dreary days I must spend in the provinces,
02:12why shouldn't I stay at your house?
02:14Well, I bet you have at least 15 rooms here.
02:1719, and you're not using any of them.
02:18Oh, but hey, Miss Darling.
02:20I reserved a suite for you at the Bel Air Gardens Hotel.
02:22It's the most beautiful hotel in this part of the world.
02:25It's got everything.
02:25Electric lights, running water.
02:26But it doesn't have you.
02:28Oh, and think of all the noise and activity and...
02:31No, privacy.
02:33It's the most private place I know.
02:35The Bel Air Gardens, most conservative and quiet hotel.
02:38Nothing ever happens there.
02:39You're not staying here.
02:43People might talk.
02:45You're staying at the Bel Air Gardens.
02:47Captain Burke.
02:49Yes, Tim.
02:51Where?
02:53All right, I'll pick you right up.
02:56Henry, Miss Fitzgerald will use the East Room.
02:59But, Amos, I thought that you...
03:00Lightning never strikes in the same place twice,
03:02but you never can tell.
03:03What?
03:03Somebody's just been murdered at the Bel Air Gardens.
03:05Let's go, Henry.
03:08Second door on the left.
03:19It's Burke's law.
03:20The Bel Air Gardens.
03:37THE END
04:07THE END
04:37There's a dead man in the shower
04:52I'll call a lab, boys
04:54All right, thanks
04:55I hope you don't mind a few questions
05:02Oh, no, no
05:05Go ahead and talk
05:06I'll eat around you
05:07Caviar?
05:08No, thank you
05:09I don't blame you
05:10Tastes like salty BB shot to me
05:13Miss Brewer, is this your room?
05:15No
05:15Then
05:16Blunk's the hotel
05:19What he means is
05:23Did you register here?
05:25Sure
05:26The nice man gave me the money
05:27And I registered
05:28What nice man?
05:31Look
05:31I don't know why you're making
05:32Such a simmons out of all this
05:34Last night about 6 o'clock
05:36I just happened to be
05:37Walking near the hotel
05:38And this guy comes up to me
05:39And offers me $500
05:40He said
05:42I should rent a room
05:43In the hotel
05:44Under my name
05:45Have a bar set up
05:46And everything
05:47Then, of course, by morning
05:48Everybody would be gone
05:49And, well, I could keep the change
05:51And use the room
05:51So
05:52I came here
05:53And I found
05:54That
05:55And there
05:55But
05:57I don't think there's anything
05:58So unusual about that
06:00To you
06:00No, of course not
06:01Any girl can walk
06:03Into that kind of situation
06:05Of course
06:06I mean, it's just a happenstance
06:07Now, Miss Brewer
06:08When did you find the body?
06:10This morning when I got here
06:11Why didn't you call us then?
06:14I was hungry
06:15So I ate
06:17Then I got sleepy
06:19So I slept
06:20Well, let's put it another way
06:25When you woke up
06:27And you found the body still here
06:28What was your first reaction?
06:32I was hungry
06:32Miss Brewer
06:36What do you do for a living?
06:39Favors
06:40Favors?
06:43What kind of favors?
06:45Just favors
06:46What's the matter?
06:49I could do something special?
06:50Les
06:53Make sure the lab boys
06:55Get all the prints they can
06:56Tim
06:57Yes, Captain?
06:59I think we ought to have to talk to the manager
07:01He may know something
07:02I just talked to him
07:03He saw a car parked outside last night
07:05He wouldn't happen to know who was in it
07:06No, but he got the license number
07:08Why'd he do that?
07:10Well, the car was parked on his grass
07:12And it made him furious
07:13It makes me very happy
07:15Miss Brewer
07:16I hope you don't have any plans
07:17For the rest of the day
07:18Detective Tilson's going to take you downtown
07:20And get a written statement
07:21All right, feed her
07:25And take her down
07:26Well, come on, Rover
07:51That's no way to hurt
07:52Her name is not Rover
07:55And I taught her to act that way
07:57Well, that's a nice way to act
07:59She went right for my throat
08:00She thinks she's a doberman
08:02All right, who are you
08:04And what are you doing here
08:04Before I let Penelope eat you alive?
08:06Well, that wouldn't be very friendly of Penelope
08:08Neither of us are very friendly to strangers
08:11Let me introduce my son
08:13Neither of us are very friendly to policemen either
08:16If you could find some way to reason with her
08:18And invite me in, I'd like to talk to you
08:20Penelope
08:22Ben
08:23I always thought that a homicide captain
08:30Wore squeaky shoes and a derby hat
08:32I left them at home
08:34But am I supposed to help you
08:36Or have you already solved something?
08:37A little of both
08:38Your car was seen parked
08:40At the Bel Air Garden Hotel
08:41At six o'clock this morning
08:42I checked the license number
08:45And named to this address
08:46You are Miss Jill Marsh?
08:48Captain, you are a regular crackerjack
08:49Why were you there?
08:52Well, I don't sleep very well
08:53So sometimes I take early morning rides
08:55To the Bel Air Garden?
08:57Well, I'd been driving for quite some while
08:59And suddenly I felt very drowsy
09:01So I pulled over to the side and parked
09:02Captain?
09:03Are you sure no one phoned you to come to the hotel?
09:07Why should someone phone?
09:08Well, that's the part you're supposed to tell me
09:10I wish I could
09:11I wish you could, too
09:12I'll just have to find out for myself
09:14Well, Captain
09:15There's something I forgot to tell you
09:17Yes?
09:18Well, I'm very particular about my phone number
09:20As a matter of fact, so am I
09:22Then why don't we make an arrangement?
09:24If either of us want to make a phone call
09:26We won't call each other
09:27That's a reasonable arrangement
09:29But I just had to get you a phone number
09:31Forget my number
09:32The Bel Air Garden Hotel has a record of every outgoing call
09:36I'll just call them and check to see if anyone called you
09:39Captain, believe me
09:40When I say there were no calls, there were no calls
09:42Well, believe me, I'll believe you just as soon as I verify it
09:45Oh, uh, say goodnight to Penelope for me
09:48Say goodnight to Penelope yourself
09:51Goodnight, Penelope
09:52Yeah
10:10Captain, I've done some checking
10:13Yeah
10:14I learned that a girl named Jill Marsh
10:16Your watch is running behind schedule
10:18How have you been there, Tim?
10:19Did she tell you that you received a call from the Parisian suite
10:22At 5.32 this morning?
10:24No
10:24Who called her?
10:26I got a possibility
10:27The dead man has been identified as Jason Shaw
10:3034, high-flying tarot financier
10:32He's a corporate boy genius from New York
10:35Yeah, I checked his New York office
10:36And while Shaw was getting dead out here
10:38He was supposed to be on a week's vacation skiing in Vermont
10:41Check his West Coast office, see what you can get
10:44I'm already there, Captain
10:45Naturally
10:48Goodbye
10:49Miss Wagner
10:56May I call you and Mary
10:58Miss Wagner will do just fine
11:00Now, are you sure there's nothing unusual you can tell me about Mr. Shaw that might help us?
11:06No
11:06Tell me about your duties
11:08I was Mr. Shaw's secretary
11:10Did you work for him in New York, too?
11:11No
11:12Just here?
11:13Yes
11:14Mr. Shaw was a man of good taste
11:28What?
11:29Was Mr. Shaw's secretary in New York as pretty as you are?
11:33I beg your pardon?
11:35I asked if Mr. Shaw's secretary in New York was as pretty as you are
11:37Do you think I'm pretty?
11:42Very
11:42Really?
11:45Really
11:45Did Mr. Shaw receive any unusual mail or phone calls?
11:55Well, not that I know of
11:58Is there anything else you would like to know?
12:03Did anybody come to the office that you feel might have something to do with this?
12:06Well, nobody came to the office at all
12:08Mr. Shaw conducted his affairs away from the office at restaurants around the golf course
12:12You see, we only worked here in the office from midnight till 5 a.m.
12:15Mr. Shaw liked the dark
12:17He used to play the radio a lot
12:19Sometimes he'd dance around the office for hours
12:21Then if he got hungry, I'd fix him a melted cheese sandwich
12:24Which is almost the only thing he ever ate
12:26That and root beer
12:28Do you really think I'm pretty?
12:31Yeah, beautiful
12:32Very beautiful in his work
12:34Marion
12:36Marion
12:37You can call me Tim
12:40Okay
12:41Tim
12:45Yes
12:46Do you dance?
12:50Yes
12:50Would you like to dance with me?
12:54Sure
12:55How about tomorrow night?
13:02How about tonight?
13:15You got it solved?
13:33I don't think this is going to solve quick
13:35What are the photographs?
13:36In Parisian Suite, almost every angle
13:38What about the fingerprints?
13:40Mostly smudged
13:41Fine, I like the way this case is shaping up
13:43We've got a little something might interest you
13:45What?
13:45In the lab
13:46Lead on, Mike, Doug
13:47Two of our lab techs pick these up in the fireplace of Parisian Suite
13:52Put them up on the screen
13:55They're not counterfeit, Captain
14:01We had them checked out
14:02You don't need a slide for that, Les
14:05Those are $1,000 bills
14:06Have any idea what they come to?
14:09Oh, maybe 90
14:10A hundred of them
14:11At least the case is getting a little more character
14:14How's that?
14:15Anybody burn up $100,000
14:17Can't be all mad
14:18Good night, Les
14:19Come in
14:31Good morning, Captain
14:32Good morning, Tim
14:34Well, you look terrible
14:39Who is she?
14:40It wasn't a girl, Captain
14:41Don't tell me you've been out working all night
14:43Well, exactly
14:44I dropped by Jill Marsh's answering service
14:46I figured she fits in somewhere
14:47What'd you find?
14:49Jill Marsh received over 40 phone calls in two months
14:51From Crestview 14699
14:53See who the phone's registered to?
14:56I did, sir
14:56Burton Reese
14:58You know, he's a stock market mogul, company liquidator
15:00Would you mind getting me the phone, please?
15:03Excuse me, Captain
15:03You weren't going to call Jill Marsh, were you?
15:05Certainly
15:06I wanted to find out what the connection was between her and Reese
15:08I've already called her, sir
15:09She isn't in
15:10Well, then I'd better get hold of Reese
15:13I hope you won't mind
15:14I've already done that
15:15He is in
15:16Well, then we'll take a little ride and see him
15:18Or have you done that, too?
15:19I was going to
15:20But then I thought you might want to
15:21It's a good thing you've got a captain around here to get things done
15:24Yes, sir
15:25After you
15:28That'll be the day
15:30What can I do for you, gentlemen?
15:52Are you Mr. Reese?
15:53Yes, I am
15:54Mr. Reese
16:02I'd like to ask you a few questions
16:05Don't ask it next to that plant
16:07That's a flesh-eating little devil
16:08Might take your arm off
16:09You're going to say that if I put my hand in this
16:12I suggest you keep your hands in your pocket
16:17Now, what can I do for you, gentlemen?
16:19Mr. Reese
16:20Why were you in the Parisian suite yesterday morning?
16:23Oh, well, I don't really consider it important, do you?
16:26We do
16:26A man was murdered there
16:28Oh, my, my
16:30Isn't it shocking?
16:31May I ask who the person was?
16:32Jason Shaw
16:33You know him?
16:35Oh, very ambitious, energetic man
16:37Excuse me
16:38Excuse me
16:39Here you are, you little baby beauty
16:43I beg your pardon?
16:49She just loves a leg of lamb
16:51I ask, that's quite obvious
16:56Were, uh, were you in that suite with Mr. Shaw?
17:00Yes, as a matter of fact, I was
17:01Just you and Mr. Shaw?
17:03Was Miss Jill Marsh with you?
17:04Uh, now, fish, dear
17:09No, no, no, no, no, no arguments
17:11Iodine is good for you
17:13Now, what were you saying?
17:14I was saying, was Miss Marsh in the suite with you?
17:18No, she was in the car waiting for me
17:20At six o'clock in the morning?
17:21Well, I think a man is entitled to have breakfast
17:23With his own daughter, don't you think?
17:27Daughter?
17:29Mr. Reese, why does she call herself Jill Marsh?
17:32Is that her married name?
17:33No, Jill has never been married
17:34She sculpts
17:35And she wants to sell her work on her own merit
17:38Not because she's my daughter
17:39Oh, dear, dear, yes, I said
17:43Here we are
17:44Vitamins, dear
17:46Oh, that's a pretty baby
17:48Oh, it hurts, you know
17:51But sometimes one has to be stern
17:53Forgive my curiosity, but, um
17:55Why do you grow these kind of plants?
17:58Because one day they will take over the world
18:00And the world will be better for it
18:02And when they do
18:03They will always remember
18:04They had one friend
18:05Me
18:06Look, friend
18:08Getting back to you, Mr. Shaw
18:09There were just the two of you in his suite
18:11So?
18:13So, Mr. Reese
18:14You could use a witness
18:16Yes, I very well could, couldn't I?
18:18Well, I hate to implicate him
18:21But that used car man
18:23That Hamilton give-em-away Murphy
18:25Was there
18:26I give him away
18:27And that's the truth, friends
18:28And you are my friends
18:30My good friends
18:31And that's why I like to invite you
18:32Into my own living room
18:33For these little talks during the movie
18:35And it is a good movie tonight, isn't it, folks?
18:37I just love these westerns
18:39Something about
18:39Well, this mystery happens to be very good, too
18:43Isn't it, friends?
18:44And I don't want to take any more of your time now, friends
18:46But remember
18:47If you're in the market for a late-modeled used car
18:49You know where to find us
18:50We're located on the corner of Gage and Elverado
18:53And remember the name, friends
18:54Give-em-away Murphy
18:56And now, back to our movie, friends
18:58Cops here, yes?
19:02No
19:03That fink, Reese
19:05At least he warned you they were coming
19:07That's something
19:08A dirty, wrapped fink
19:09Relax, baby
19:11You bust a tendon
19:12He says, tell him I was supposed to be having
19:14A friendly business conference
19:15Me having a friendly business conference?
19:17What does he think the cops expect me to be doing?
19:19Selling one of my cars to a friend?
19:21I mean, a real friend?
19:22Relax
19:22You're getting all excited, Henry
19:25Well, you've got to watch those cops
19:26Once they get the hooks into you
19:27Ten years ago, I'm selling cars on my lot
19:29So I put a little ground car
19:31Got a transmission
19:32That makes them nice and smooth, you know
19:33A detective buys it
19:34Next thing I know, I'm doing six months
19:36In the county workhouse
19:37Lois would like a martini, Hammy
19:40And then I get out, see?
19:41And there's a new used car lot
19:43Right across from me
19:44And who's selling the cars over there?
19:45The detective who sent me up for six months
19:47Mr. Murphy
19:49That's right
19:51We're with Homicide Division
19:52May we come in?
19:53But you already are in
19:54After all, there's nothing up my sleeve
19:56Except my arm
19:57Oh, I'd like you to meet
19:59My business associate, Miss Gordon
20:01Now, what is it that I can do for you gentlemen?
20:04Well, I was wondering
20:04If you could tell us where you were
20:05Yesterday morning at 6 a.m.
20:07I guess I was in bed
20:08I mean, by George, I wasn't
20:12By George, where were you?
20:14I was at the Bel Air Gardens
20:15Having a business conference
20:16With a Mr. Burton Reese
20:18And who else?
20:20Hammy
20:20Uh, just a minute, dear
20:22Uh, I believe, uh, Mr. Jason Shaw
20:24Anyone else?
20:26Oh, I couldn't say
20:27Did Mr. Reese make any phone calls
20:29While you were there?
20:30As a matter of fact, he did
20:32He called his daughter
20:32And told her to come over
20:33And pick him up
20:34And they went off together
20:35Leaving you alone with Mr. Shaw?
20:38Hammy, baby
20:39Just a minute, dear
20:40Yes, I suppose I was alone with Mr. Shaw
20:43What would you say
20:44If by being alone with Mr. Shaw
20:46You'd become our principal murder suspect?
20:48Hammy, would you make me
20:49Relax!
20:50Deeley
20:50Well, everybody else
20:53Is starting to think on everybody else
20:55So I guess it's my turn
20:56There was somebody else there
20:58Who?
20:59A Mr. Janik Sabowski
21:01A Polish shipbuilder, I think
21:02Well, thank you, Mr. Murphy
21:04I'll check with you again
21:05Now, listen, you know
21:06I don't like to rat on people
21:07You understand what I mean?
21:08But you gotta watch out for yourself
21:09In this world, right?
21:10Everybody's for themselves
21:11An eye for an eye
21:13Right?
21:14Maybe
21:14Tooth for a tooth
21:15And never turn your back on a stranger
21:17Because you wind up with a knife on your back
21:19Right?
21:19Oh, yes
21:21There you are again, friends
21:22Good evening
21:22And you all know you are, my friends
21:24Yes, sir
21:25All the dealers are saying that
21:26Giveaway Murphy is crazy
21:27And for a good reason
21:29A very good reason
21:43Mr. Sebastian, I see you now
21:48Thank you very much
21:49Wilder's Oriental Decor
21:55He sold his first ship in Japan
21:57Janik
22:01Please
22:02There, I've heard it for the fifth time
22:08And each time it is better
22:10Amoshek, it's been such a long time
22:15Janik
22:15It's good to see you again
22:17I'd like you to meet Detective Tilson
22:20How are you, young fellow?
22:21Just fine, sir
22:22What happened to all your paintings?
22:25Oh, I give them away
22:26I shall never touch a brush
22:29Since I discovered the true art
22:30True art?
22:32Yes
22:32Sound paintings
22:33When you listen, you see
22:36Not paintings
22:37Just sound
22:39Si
22:40This is my blue, boy
22:49You see it?
22:53Close your eyes
22:54You like it?
23:01Yes, I like it very much
23:02You like it, Tim?
23:05Yeah, I like it, sir
23:06Wait, I give it to you
23:08I give it to both of you
23:09No, Janik, we couldn't take it
23:10Ah, no, sir
23:11We just couldn't
23:11It's all right
23:12I'll send it to you
23:13Now, tell me, Amoshek
23:16Why you suddenly think of your old friend
23:19And come here to visit me?
23:21I'm afraid this trip is more business than pleasure
23:23I suppose you read where Jason Shaw was murdered?
23:28Oh, yes
23:29Terrible thing
23:32And to think I was with him
23:35Just before he was killed
23:36You wouldn't have
23:40To remember what time you left
23:41Oh, I would say about six o'clock
23:44I go out with Mr. Rees
23:47And that automotive genius
23:49You mean, give him away Murphy?
23:52That's him
23:52Now, why would you call him a genius?
23:55I should sell ships like his age cars
23:57He is a genius
23:58Well, the three of you all alibi each other
24:02Alibi?
24:04I don't understand
24:05Well, that's something nice to have
24:07If you've been in the same room with a murdered man
24:09I still don't understand
24:11But you make it sound so nice
24:12Thank you, Janik
24:14You've been a great help
24:15It's been very nice for me
24:16You come back
24:18Both of you
24:19Goodbye, Amoshek
24:22Young fella
24:23Wait in the car
24:33Hi
24:39Hi
24:39Where's Penelope?
24:42Home
24:43Too bad I miss her
24:44Penelope just happens to be a very alert watchdog
24:47Penelope happens to be a little monster
24:49With unresolved conflicts
24:51Who should be taken to the nearest psychiatrist
24:52That doesn't explain anything
24:56What do you want to explain?
24:57Well, let's start with
24:59What are you doing here?
25:02Captain, I want you to know that my father's innocent
25:04I wish I had your confidence
25:08And I don't see why you have to bully him around
25:10Why don't you pick on those other three men?
25:12There are a couple of reasons
25:13First, I haven't bullied your father
25:15Next, I don't know what three men you're talking about
25:17Those three men I saw leaving after my father left in the car
25:21And you saw three other men?
25:25Why didn't you tell me that before?
25:27You didn't ask me
25:28Excluding your father
25:30We found two other men
25:33Now, are you sure you saw three?
25:37Would I lie to you?
25:39I'd rather not answer that
25:40All right, if you saw what you think you saw
25:43I don't think anything
25:45I saw what I saw
25:47There was a fourth man in that room
25:49Well, you're a detective
25:50Why don't you go and look for him?
25:53Miss Marsh, he could be anywhere in the country by now
25:56Why don't you go to the country?
26:00Miss Marsh, there's just one thing I'd like to say
26:02What?
26:05Goodbye
26:05Okay, Henry
26:08That's all right, relax
26:24No, Tim, it just doesn't float
26:29What's that, sir?
26:31It doesn't seem logical to me
26:32That a man like Jason Shaw
26:34A cooperative man
26:35Would have business dealings
26:36With a company liquidator like Reese
26:38Or a used car giant like Murphy
26:41And a shipwiller like Janik
26:43Why not?
26:44Well, they're diverse personalities
26:46Their backgrounds, they just don't fit
26:47Yet they're in at the suite
26:48Yeah, the question is why?
26:50I'd also like to find out
26:53Why someone burnt up
26:54Ninety or a hundred thousand dollars
26:55In this room
26:55Let's go for broke, Tim
26:57You take that part of the room
26:58I'll take this
26:59We only had an idea
27:02Clue as to what they were doing here
27:04Whatever it was
27:06It must have been a big deal
27:07Yeah
27:08What'd you say?
27:11Well, they were all rich
27:12So I figured they had a big deal cooking
27:13Yeah, but not the kind of deal
27:16You're thinking of
27:17Do you have that report from the lab?
27:21Yes, sir
27:21Do they find anything on this table?
27:24Not much, Captain
27:25Tobacco strands, ashes, and cellulose flakings
27:29Of course
27:30Cellulose from a deck of playing cards, Tim
27:34There it is
27:35There's your big deal
27:37But why should they be so secretive about a card game?
27:40Do you remember rumors of a poker game
27:42Played by some of the wealthiest men in this country?
27:44Played once a year, pretty high stakes
27:46Very high
27:47The limit was one million dollars
27:50Good morning, Captain
28:01You're entitled to your opinion
28:04Something tells me I better disappear
28:06No, no, no
28:07Stay
28:07I've been going over the file on your case
28:09Did you find anything?
28:11A lot of questions and no answers
28:13For example
28:14What does all that burnt money mean?
28:18Hard to say
28:18Here's another
28:19If Jill Marsh were telling the truth
28:22Who was the fourth man in the room?
28:24Probably another poker player
28:25And did the fourth man stay behind with Jason Shaw?
28:29And was he the killer?
28:31Well
28:31And here's another item
28:33Does Shaw's West Coast Secretary Marion fit into the picture?
28:38Did you find out anything from her?
28:39Nothing that you don't already know, sir
28:41There
28:42You said it
28:43That's the word that's the key to this entire case
28:47Nothing
28:48Where are you going?
28:50Oh, to see that give-em-away Murphy again
28:52What, do you think that Murphy is our most promising suspect?
28:55Not necessarily, but he's the biggest liar
28:57Are you comfortable there, Captain?
29:02Mr. Murphy, I'll be a lot more comfortable when you answer my question
29:06Well, sure, Captain
29:07What were you saying?
29:08I was saying that we have evidence to prove that you were in a card game Tuesday night
29:13And part of Wednesday morning
29:14And that somebody hired a girl named Lucy Brewer to register the hotel room in her name
29:21All right, what are you trying to make out of it?
29:23A Leavenworth beef?
29:24I just want to find out who hired her
29:27You ain't gonna get nothing on me and wind up like that other cop selling my cars?
29:31Mr. Murphy, kindly be assured that I have no interest in selling your cars
29:35Well, there ain't nobody, don't wish they had my volume
29:37Mr. Murphy, I'm afraid you'll be out of business unless you give me the information I need
29:43Now, who hired that girl?
29:48All right, I did
29:49She was walking along and she looked kind of lost
29:52And I stopped the car, I started talking with her
29:54And I give her the money to make the reservation
29:56So what's the secrecy?
29:58Well, you don't advertise a million dollar game, Captain
30:02The government might find out about it and try and tax your winnings
30:05Besides, somebody might think it's illegal
30:07I have news for you, it is definitely illegal
30:11Well, then you mean I'm in real big trouble, huh?
30:14Oh, yes, unless you cooperate, you could be in very big trouble
30:18Hold on, Captain, you're looking at the biggest cooperator you ever saw
30:21All right
30:22What were the names of the players in the game?
30:26Oh, wait a minute, Captain, I can't remember all those names
30:28Well, Shaw was there, you know that
30:30By the way, what do you look like when you found him?
30:35Like that
30:35Was there a big winner in the game?
30:40Of course there was
30:41You ever hear of giving away Murphy, giving anybody anything?
30:45I won
30:45Seven hundred grand
30:47And I'm going to send the government a check first thing in the morning
30:50Do you remember your best hand?
30:53I couldn't forget it
30:54I opened with three jacks
30:57Reese Calls, Sabosky passed, Shaw raised
30:59And Julian passed
31:01Hey, you're not as bad on names as you give yourself credit for
31:04Who's Julian?
31:06Murphy, you and your big fat mouth
31:08Who's Julian?
31:11Well, I guess three guys can dump you in the river just as good as two
31:15Murphy, who's Julian?
31:17Julian Clarington, he's a real kook
31:19He even brought his own booze
31:21Thank you, Mr. Murphy
31:23It's been nice dealing with you
31:24Oh, Captain, you're not going to tell nobody where you got this information
31:27Oh, no, no, no
31:28We make it a practice of protecting our principal witness
31:31Even a rat think like me?
31:33Even a rat
31:34Goodbye, Mr. Murphy
31:37You know, we may have started a completely new police procedure
31:40Huh?
31:41How's that?
31:42Whoever heard of the suspect sweating out the detective?
31:58Hello, Captain
32:01What brought you here?
32:03The same thing that brought you, sir
32:04I want to talk to Mr. Clarington
32:05How'd you hear about him?
32:06Well, I got an idea
32:07And I went back to the Bel Air Gardens
32:09And I located all the bottles that were taken out of the room
32:11And I found three pints of 29 Chateau Major
32:14And you checked out every liquor store in the neighborhood?
32:17Yes, sir
32:17And I found it was sold in only one store
32:19I called the store and the proprietor gave me the name of Mr. Julian Clarington
32:22Tim, you deserve a raise
32:24Thank you, sir
32:24I can't give it to you, but you deserve it
32:26This is some house, huh?
32:33It's fair
32:34My fair?
32:48We'd like to see Mr. Julian Clarington
32:50I'm sorry, sir
32:51But all of Mr. Clarington's appointments are arranged for the morning
32:54I'll see if he can arrange one for this afternoon
32:58Oh, well, I'm sure he can, sir
33:01He's in the wine cellar
33:03Won't you please go down?
33:11Jameson, how many times have I told you to avoid that board?
33:14Your clumsiness has caused a veritable earthquake
33:17Oh, no, Mr. Clarington, no, no, it isn't me, sir
33:20I'm sorry, Mr. Clarington
33:21Blame it on us
33:22And who may I ask?
33:23Are you?
33:24I'm Detective Tilson
33:25This is Captain Berkwood from Homicide
33:27Oh
33:28Well, I have neither maimed, eviscerated, nor killed anyone recently
33:32Now, will you kindly leave?
33:35It won't take long, Mr. Clarington
33:36It has already taken too long
33:38Good day, gentlemen
33:39Mr. Clarington
33:41We want to talk to you about a poker game
33:43Well, whip one up with the boys at the station house
33:46But please stop annoying me
33:48We're referring to a poker game that took place at the Bel Air Gardens Hotel
33:52Oh
33:53How interesting
33:54Well, we'll discuss that some other time
33:57I'm sorry, Mr. Clarington
33:58I'm very sorry
33:59But I'll have to insist
34:01Who is the big loser in that game?
34:05Well, you might say I lost a considerable sum
34:07An older that boorish automobile salesman
34:10Well, then you lost most of the money
34:11Oh, very likely
34:13How long have you been playing in the game?
34:15I conceived the game some four years ago
34:18You might think me a socialist
34:19I suppose I am to a certain degree
34:21But then you see, I am a firm believer in the distribution of wealth
34:25To me
34:27Did you leave directly after the game?
34:29Naturally
34:30Naturally
34:31How long have you known Jason Shaw?
34:34Oh, a very recent acquaintance
34:36Very recent?
34:38Yes
34:38I suppose you know that Mr. Shaw has been murdered
34:41It may interest you to know that I have a theory on that
34:45I'd be very interested
34:47I should say that someone was not too fond of Jason Shaw
34:52So what's your theory?
34:54That's it
34:55Now, gentlemen
34:57If you will excuse me
34:59I cannot say that any of this has been a pleasure
35:02My native honesty would prohibit it
35:05Mr. Clarenton
35:06Forgive me, I have a plane to catch
35:08Mr. Clarenton, there are a few more questions I'd like to ask you
35:10Sir, I have given you a lengthy audience
35:13From that which I allowed
35:14The President of the United States
35:15You have been more than generous
35:17Sir, if you insist on discussing this, Mazur, it must be at some more propitious time
35:21Meanwhile, if you are trying to drag me into this murder affair
35:25Be assured that I have an impeccable alibi
35:27And can account for every moment of my time
35:30And so
35:32Good afternoon
35:33I do not want to have to put you under warrant
35:36You will not deter me with intimidation
35:38Should you desire further information
35:40You may contact my secretaries in Bangkok, Shanghai, or Paris
35:46That's out of our precinct
35:47My heart goes up to you
35:50Mr. Clarenton
35:52Young man
35:55Sir
35:57If you have disturbed the bouquet of this rare vintage
36:01You may be certain that I will sue not only you
36:04But the city and county of this sovereign state
36:07Ruined
36:10Young man, I regret to inform you
36:13That your career has just reached an ignominious conclusion
36:16So has your trip
36:17Burke speaking
36:28This is Les
36:29Jill Marsh called here
36:30Said she had a statement
36:31Did she say where she was calling from?
36:34No, just that she'll be home at nine tonight
36:35All right, I'll be there at nine
36:39Oh, is Tim around?
36:41Just a minute
36:42Tim
36:43Captain
36:43Sir?
36:46Tim, I'd like you to draw up a subpoena
36:48To investigate Shaw's local books
36:50Yes, sir
36:52Read them over
36:53See if you can link anything up
36:55Yes, sir
36:57Is there something wrong?
37:01No, sir
37:02There's nothing wrong
37:02Miss
37:10Oh
37:11Miss, would you be interested in buying a set of encyclopedias?
37:15I'm studying to be police commissioner
37:16If it isn't Fred Astaire
37:17If it isn't Ginger Rogers
37:19Dan?
37:21Marion, I'm here in business
37:22Oh, come on
37:23You're so good
37:24I'd love to, Marion
37:25Believe that
37:25But I've got to play detective right now
37:29What's that?
37:31A subpoena
37:31Permits me to appropriate all of Mr. Shaw's books
37:35His files
37:36And any documents of interest
37:38What are you trying to do to him?
37:39He's dead
37:40Why don't you just leave him alone?
37:42Marion, murders have to be solved
37:44And we do the best way we can
37:45Well, I don't see any reason why you have to investigate into his business affairs
37:48He was honest
37:50And respectable
37:51And you loved him
37:52Yes, I loved him
37:58But you'll keep prying and piecing until everything looks unclean
38:05Marion, it does only some other way
38:07I'll get you the books
38:09Here are the keys
38:12They'll open up everything in the office for you
38:14Marion, I...
38:15In fact, they'll open up his entire life for you
38:17Penelope
38:43Come on, Penelope
38:46Penelope
38:48Penelope
38:53What is she doing in that thing?
38:54She jumped
38:55Oh, that poor baby
38:57Penelope's all right
38:59Penelope just learned about Burke's law
39:01What's that?
39:03When you're constantly attacking
39:04Just make sure that somebody isn't waiting with a net
39:06Why don't you leave me here on the porch
39:11You and I can talk while she sits there hating me
39:13It's nice to see you again, Miss Mark
39:23It's nice to see you again, Captain
39:25I understand you have a statement to make
39:26Yes, I do
39:27Let's have dinner
39:28That's a very thoughtful invitation
39:30What's the rest of your statement?
39:33That's all
39:34What are you trying for now?
39:37Captain, you think there's something up my sleeve
39:39Not in that dress
39:42Would you like a drink?
39:43No, thanks
39:44I'm on duty
39:44Where will you be off duty?
39:46Just as soon as I find out who killed Jason Shaw
39:49When will that be?
39:50Hard to tell
39:50Killers all have something in common
39:52When you ask them if they've killed anyone
39:54They usually say no
39:55Captain, I like the set of your doll
39:57I think I'd better call my office
40:01What do you know?
40:04If I didn't know you better
40:05I'd swear that you stepped on a button
40:07Yes?
40:10Oh, yes
40:10You did
40:11It's for you
40:12Captain, but
40:14Captain
40:15I've been going through Shaw's files
40:17Did you find anything interesting?
40:19Yes, sir
40:20A private memo from his board of directors in the east
40:22They plan to investigate his entire corporation
40:25A fraud
40:26All right, you and I bring the books to my place
40:28I'll meet you there
40:29Well, excuse me
40:32I have to leave urgent business
40:34You know, we must do this again sometime
40:37Over your dead body
40:38Captain of Homicide Murdered
40:41Now, how would that read in print?
40:46Oh, you
40:47You
40:48Captain
40:49Well, Shaw's corporation was about to go under
41:02Well, it looks like he wasn't going to wait around for the main event
41:05Hmm
41:07Here's an airline ticket to Brazil
41:09One way
41:10No extradition
41:11Which leaves us with just about the same questions
41:14One of the poker players must have killed Shaw
41:16But who and why?
41:19What about Reese?
41:21That'd be his daughter
41:22She'd been working hard on me
41:23I think our wine cellar friend there
41:25Clarington looks good
41:26No, he'd only kill one man
41:28That'd be Murphy
41:29And even if he did
41:31I'm afraid it would turn out to be justifiable homicide
41:33How about Murphy?
41:35Too stupid
41:35Captain
41:37What about your friend there
41:39Uh, Janik Zabowski?
41:41Could be
41:41But he'd need a motive
41:43How long has Shaw been in business?
41:46Well, about six years, I think
41:48Let's see
41:49Yeah, six years exactly
41:52Six years
41:53Doesn't seem like enough time to build up a corporation worth millions
41:57Boy comes from out of the blue, jumps over the moon, and one easy lesson
42:00He needs something
42:02He needs some help
42:03Financing, a loan
42:04I was saving that for you
42:05It seems that three million dollars was invested in Shaw's corporation by Burton Reese
42:10Well, things are getting a little more colorful
42:13By the way, Marion said that before the game, Shaw came in and took eight thousand dollars out of the safe
42:19And that's all there was
42:20If Shaw wasn't such bad trouble, why did he get into the poker game?
42:25He may have needed some getaway cash
42:26Nobody knew he was broke
42:28He'd probably flash that eight thousand like
42:30Like less than flash eight
42:32Yeah, yeah
42:35It is beginning to make sense
42:37Tim, I think I'd better take a little trip to visit Miss Therese
42:41Let's get this stuff back to the office, will you?
42:44Captain?
42:45Yes?
42:46I just had a thought
42:47What?
42:48If Reese should confess
42:49They'd get his daughter off your neck
42:50We'll appeal to him on that basis
42:52Henry?
42:56Henry, wake up
42:57Good evening, Miss Therese
43:09Good evening, Captain Burke
43:11It's a little late for gardening
43:15No, no
43:16Some of these little darlings have to be fed late at night
43:20Vegetarian
43:26Oh, don't stand too close to that particular plant
43:30I stood too close and
43:32It grabbed you
43:34Who?
43:35You seem to enjoy living dangerously
43:38You mean my plants?
43:39Oh, that and the fact that you're willing to gamble three million dollars in Jason Shaw's corporation
43:44Seemed like a reasonable gamble at the time
43:46The firm had no assets
43:48They're on the verge of bankruptcy now
43:50Oh, isn't that delightful?
43:53You act as if you enjoyed losing three million dollars
43:55Well, you'll have to admit
43:56It's a delightful tax loss
43:58Oh
44:00You see, I've had very bad luck
44:02With tax deductions
44:03For several years now
44:05Yes, as for Shaw
44:06I was always hoping
44:07That he would be bankrupt
44:08Nothing personal
44:09From a tax viewpoint, of course
44:11How do you think he got the money
44:12To start his business?
44:14I didn't know him then
44:14I couldn't care less
44:16But I doubt that the money was deductible
44:18You can write it off
44:27Yes
44:28Yes, I can
44:29I'm sorry, sir
44:34But we just can't find any connection between Shaw and the other poker players
44:38I checked Reese
44:39His story matches
44:40He's got so much money
44:41It's almost vulgar
44:42That brings us right back
44:44To who loaned Shaw the money that got him started
44:46Well, it could be anyone of almost a million people
44:48But if it was someone at the poker game
44:50We could narrow it down to three
44:51We could eliminate Murphy
44:53He's nearly rich
44:54He didn't have any money six years ago
44:56When Shaw first started
44:57That leaves only two
44:58Oh
45:00Maybe it leaves one
45:03Excuse me
45:10When did you first meet Jason Shaw?
45:17Oh, maybe three, four years ago
45:19Are you sure you haven't known him for more than four years?
45:22Yes, sure, I miss it
45:23That would be 1959
45:26Sure, 1959, 1960
45:29What happened at the poker game?
45:34The game is over maybe six o'clock
45:36I forget my glasses
45:37Come back
45:39I find him on the telephone
45:41He's talking to some girl
45:45About leaving the country
45:46How did you know it was a girl?
45:49He called her sweet name
45:50Marion?
45:51Marion?
45:59You know, secretary friend Marion keeps cropping up
46:10Look, she admitted she loves Shaw
46:12She's not hiding anything
46:13Well, somebody is
46:14Clarington's the only one left
46:16Do we go see him?
46:17Maybe
46:18But I can't shake the feeling
46:19That we're looking up the wrong tree
46:21Or at least the wrong poker player
46:22Well, if we want to see Clarington
46:23We'll probably have to catch a plane
46:24What did you say?
46:27I said we'll probably have to catch a plane
46:29Well, that's it, Tim
46:31The plane
46:33The plane that Shaw was going to catch
46:35How far?
46:37Well, the clue was so simple
46:38It was right in front of us all the time
46:40Any paperback addict would have recognized him
46:42What clue?
46:44The safety box
46:45Let's pick that up
46:47And then we'd pick up this killer
46:48Marion?
46:57Marion?
46:59Oh
46:59I'm sorry
47:01Marion, this is Captain Burke, Captain Ms. Wagner
47:04How you do, Mr. Burke?
47:06Well, don't you gentlemen ever sleep?
47:09Ms. Wagner, I'd like to ask you a few more questions
47:12Well, I've told Tim all I know
47:14Except for one little thing
47:15What's that?
47:16Why did you kill Jason Shaw?
47:18Well, you're quite an act
47:25He's a dancer and you're a comedian
47:28Well, how's this for laughs?
47:30Shaw called you from Paris in the suite
47:32And you went to see him?
47:33That's ridiculous
47:34He told you he was leaving for Brazil
47:36He loved me, Mr. Burke
47:39If he were going to Brazil
47:40He would have taken me with him
47:41On one ticket
47:45Shaw planned to leave town after the game
47:50He had left the ticket in the safety box
47:53He asked you to bring it to him
47:54You can't prove that
47:56You can't prove anything
47:56You're only guessing
47:57For a while we were
47:58It was so simple I couldn't even see it
48:00Shaw phoned for a limousine
48:02To take him to the airport
48:03Now he wouldn't have done that
48:05If he hadn't expected someone
48:06To bring the ticket to him
48:07That's not true
48:08And then you found out
48:09That he didn't intend to take you with him
48:11Now what did you do?
48:13You hit him over the head with the poker
48:15You dragged his body into the shower
48:17I loved him
48:20And you made one little mistake
48:22You put the ticket back into the safety box
48:25The habit of a good secretary
48:28Yes, the habit
48:32Why did you buy him $100,000?
48:37I loved him
48:38I loved him, don't you understand?
48:40Him, not his money
48:41I didn't want any part of it
48:42Marion
48:46What did you put on the shower?
48:56He lied to me
48:57He lied to everybody
49:01He was dirty
49:05It was a filthy clear through
49:09But I loved him
49:15I wanted him to die clean
49:21Take her down and poke her
49:26First degree murder
49:27Let's go
49:28Come on
49:31Come on
49:31Come on
49:31Come on
49:32Go on
49:32Sometimes it hurts.
50:03Sometimes it's a very lousy job.
50:05Yeah.
50:06But it's the only job we have.
50:10Come on down, I'll buy a cup of coffee.
50:32Come on down.
51:02Come on down.
51:02Come on down.
51:03Come on down.
