Hello and welcome to all. In today's movie from 1945 and called Midnight Manhunt we have a freaky game of hide and seek. In this version the person hiding is dead and anyone who finds him, keeps hiding him again. Talking about changing the rules. I think I should explain. In this comedy/film noir we have criminal Joe Wells. Now Joe, as with most criminals has someone who doesn't want him around anymore and is shot by said person. Only Joe doesn't die right away and is able to move himself or he doesn't get too far. He winds up dead in front of a wax museum and that's when the fun begins or should I say the hunt. How does a dead man keep showing up in different places? Well you're gonna find out if you stick around and watch. Staring in this..I would have sworn I left him here, we have George E. Stone as Joe Wells, the lovely Ann Savage as Sue, the funny Leo Gorcey as Clutch, the great George Zucco as Jelke, William Gargan as Pete, Paul Hurst as Murphy, Don Beddoe as Det. Lt. Max Hurley and Charles Halton as Henry. So make some Corpse Reviver No. 2 cocktails and enjoy. Also thanks so much for watching and if one after a few drinks feels inclined to sub...Thanks

00:04:15Dead, why sure he's dead.
00:04:26Shot with a gun.
00:04:28Oh, don't give me that.
00:04:29He's laying right out here in an alley now.
00:04:32And stop giving me arguments.
00:04:34Give me Max Hurley.
00:04:40Max, I got Joe Wells.
00:04:43Oh, yeah?
00:04:44What you been drinking?
00:04:45Joe Wells has been a concrete block
00:04:47holding up a bridge somewhere for the past five years.
00:04:50Ah, wise guy, ain't you?
00:04:52We just don't like making calls
00:04:53on little men that ain't there.
00:04:55All right, all right.
00:04:56Hang on now.
00:04:57I'm going to go out and take another look.
00:04:58Now make sure it is Joe Wells.
00:05:09Poor Murphy.
00:05:11He's about ready for the old cop's home.
00:05:13I think he's having optical delusions.
00:05:17$20.72 and standing on my feet all day.
00:05:22Oh, you're just mercenary.
00:05:23Oh, uh-huh.
00:05:31Let's go.
00:05:33No.
00:05:34No, no, no, no, no.
00:05:36No.
00:05:39No, no, no...
00:05:40No, no, no.
00:05:42No, no, no, no.
00:05:43No, no, no, no.
00:05:45No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:05:47No, no...
00:05:48Mm-hmm.
00:05:49Mm-hmm.
00:05:50Mm-hmm.
00:05:52Mm-hmm.
00:05:54You're now scanning at the masterpiece of a master.
00:05:58You are now perusing the produce of pure genius.
00:06:01In fact, you are now gazing upon the nucleus of a neurotic.
00:06:05Quite a more...
00:06:06No, no, this is all very nice, Clutch, but I'm tired.
00:06:10I'd like to go home.
00:06:12What a lack of depreciation.
00:06:14Mr. Miggs, if you'll give me your attention for just a moment,
00:06:17I'll endeavor to explain the intricacies of this chair.
00:06:20Now, this is all very nice, Clutch, but I'm tired.
00:06:24So you're tired.
00:06:25So what?
00:06:26So you ought to thank me.
00:06:27Only trying to fix it so the customers can get the proper enumeration for their money.
00:06:30Now, get a gander at this.
00:06:41Gave myself a hot foot, didn't I?
00:06:43I gotta fix that.
00:06:44No, no, no, no, no.
00:06:45Please, Clutch, not now.
00:06:47Come on, come on, Clutch.
00:06:55Double crusher.
00:07:00I don't know what I'm going to do.
00:07:04My life hasn't been the same since my brother-in-law had to die and leave me this place.
00:07:10Wish he'd left it to me.
00:07:12Yeah, but you weren't retired.
00:07:14You hadn't worked hard all your life like me.
00:07:17I'm an old man.
00:07:19What do you think I am?
00:07:20Kindergarten stock?
00:07:24Hey!
00:07:25Hey, hey, hey, hey, he's gone.
00:07:29The body's gone.
00:07:30Disappeared.
00:07:31It's vamoosed.
00:07:32Listen, Max, I ain't blind, and I know Joe Wells when I see him.
00:07:37Hmm.
00:07:37Murphy's really at it tonight.
00:07:39I think something fit him.
00:07:41Maybe we'd better go see.
00:07:44And I tell you, it was him.
00:07:46Ah, sure, I'm sure.
00:07:49Say, what is it?
00:07:50What?
00:07:50Right, I'll wait for you.
00:07:55Just too bad.
00:07:57Murphy, I'd advise you to see an optimist.
00:07:59Very funny.
00:08:00You go home, Miggs.
00:08:01I'll lock up after you.
00:08:03I wouldn't trust him, Miggs.
00:08:04Not in his condition.
00:08:05I don't mind waiting.
00:08:07Is there anything I can do?
00:08:08No, I just got to wait around here until Lieutenant Hurley shows up,
00:08:10and we'll be out of here in a couple of minutes.
00:08:12It's broken down, Rubber Hill.
00:08:14Why don't they detach him off the force?
00:08:16Why don't you shut up?
00:08:17Well, I hope you'll all be out of here soon.
00:08:20I'm very tired.
00:08:22What do you think I am?
00:08:24I'll bite.
00:08:25What are you?
00:08:26Well, if it ain't Joe Typewriter herself.
00:08:31Oh, Miss Gallagher, there's been some kind of trouble.
00:08:34Hey, Gallagher, give me a match, will you?
00:08:36A twerp like you, smoking that.
00:08:39Big things sometimes come in little packages.
00:08:41You'll keep on, they'll make you a moron.
00:08:43Junior grade.
00:08:44Think you can afford this?
00:08:47What's the trouble?
00:08:48I really don't know.
00:08:49How'd you do today?
00:08:50Any better?
00:08:51Any better?
00:08:53Imagine.
00:08:54Just because I lost my expense account in a crap game,
00:08:57they put me on a leg job in some corny police station out in the sticks.
00:09:01Who?
00:09:01My paper.
00:09:03For crying out loud, aren't you listening?
00:09:05Oh, this is Miss Gallagher, Mr. Murphy.
00:09:07She lives upstairs over the exhibit.
00:09:09A fleabag renovated into an apartment.
00:09:11Hey, got another match?
00:09:13Just when you give me this damage.
00:09:14Beat it.
00:09:15I think it's a nice little place you've got upstairs.
00:09:18Those places go.
00:09:20Oh, don't mind me tonight, Mr. Miggs.
00:09:21I'm just mad at the world.
00:09:23She's a reporter.
00:09:25But you wouldn't know it.
00:09:27You're a disgrace to the Chronicle, they said.
00:09:29We're going to teach you a lesson, they said.
00:09:31Get that for you.
00:09:32They're going to teach me a lesson.
00:09:33Me, the one who covered the gardener Stanley hanging.
00:09:36And how about the Kingman fire?
00:09:38I even had the newsboys crying.
00:09:41I wasn't crying.
00:09:42You.
00:09:43Get me the news bulletin, Pete Willis, any day.
00:09:45There's a reporter for you.
00:09:46Pete Willis?
00:09:47That double-crossing snake?
00:09:49Double-crossing snake?
00:09:51He got my father in a clear after being sent up for that murder rap, didn't he?
00:09:54He found the guy that really done it and pinned it on him, didn't he?
00:09:56That took brains.
00:09:58And fight him while you wasn't calling him a snake about a month ago.
00:10:01While you two was lollygagging around together.
00:10:03Should have seen him, Murph.
00:10:04It was really a panic.
00:10:05I wish you'd quit rattling your head.
00:10:07I got all I can do worrying about what happens with Joe Wells.
00:10:10Joe Wells?
00:10:12What about him?
00:10:13I find him murdered, then he disappears again.
00:10:16Yeah?
00:10:17Ha!
00:10:17I'd give my IT for an exclusive on it, if it really happened.
00:10:23Gee, if it only was Joe Wells, maybe then I could make that rag I work on take me out
00:10:29of the doghouse.
00:10:30I knew a doghouse looks good.
00:10:32Oh, quiet.
00:10:33Is he very important, this Joe Wells?
00:10:36Never heard of Joe Wells?
00:10:38Now, there's total ignorance for you.
00:10:40Do you not never read no newspapers?
00:10:43Joe Wells was just the biggest noise in the rackets, that's all.
00:10:46Why, Joe had so many notches on his Tommy gun, it looked like a buzzsaw.
00:10:49And Fledamore, I'll tell you something.
00:10:51He disappeared about five years ago, and everybody thought his own boy's done it.
00:10:54I still think so.
00:10:55Well, I'm still thinking about that reward.
00:10:58Five grand for the guy to find him, and I had him.
00:11:01Sure, sure you did, Murphy.
00:11:03But stop making it worse for yourself thinking about that five grand.
00:11:06How are you going to stop thinking about five grand?
00:11:10Well, I'm going to bed.
00:11:11Good night.
00:11:13Happy nightmares.
00:11:17Say, Murphy.
00:11:20Just between you and me, was that really Joe Wells you had?
00:11:23Look, kid, I'm the guy that put the pinch on him that time at the World's Fair, ain't I?
00:11:28Well, I'd know him, wouldn't I?
00:11:30Joe Wells.
00:11:47Joe Wells.
00:12:00Too hot in here, I'm going to wait outside for the lieutenant.
00:12:15Yeah, I guess I could use some fresh air, too.
00:12:30I'm going to wait outside for the lieutenant.
00:13:00You took me a number of police, please.
00:13:24Yeah.
00:13:25N-W-I-L-L-E.
00:13:26Yeah.
00:13:28Well, I had the number, but I must have told you.
00:13:29have displaced it. I wonder if it'd be complimentary enough to give it to me. Huh? Yeah, I'll wait,
00:13:35but make it snappy, will you? Oh, Pete, this is Clutch. Clutch, Clutch, Clutch, you know. Oh,
00:13:56Clutch, what do you know? What's new at the waxworks? Come on, let's go. Come on. No. Yeah? Yeah? Yeah?
00:14:03You tell the kid to go to a picture show and call back later. I got to get home and I'm out two bucks
00:14:07already. Yeah, come on, will you? Go ahead, Clutch. Nobody's listening. Look, there's a cop over here
00:14:13by the name of Murphy. Claims he found the body of Joe Wells. Uh-huh. I don't know. Out in an alley
00:14:19someplace. You say Murphy found him? Here's my cabbage. Will you shoot again? Oh, what's he use?
00:14:25He always wins anyway. And Gallagher knows, huh? Okay, sweetheart. I'll be over in five
00:14:29minutes. Hey, where you going? What about our dough? You don't have to leave, fellas. You
00:14:32can spend the rest of the evening in this joint. What are we going to do for money? You've won
00:14:37it all. And don't break the glassware, will you? I only live here. Oh, this will be much
00:14:42safer in the car. Well, how do you like that? I've got a quarter.
00:14:46offer a quarter. Oh, my God. I still don't call me what are you? I'll get a quarter.
00:14:58Oh, my God.
00:15:28Oh, my God.
00:15:59Stop telling me that, Murphy.
00:16:01So you think you had Joe well.
00:16:02So you think he got away.
00:16:03So what?
00:16:03So I think I'm telling you that, Joe.
00:16:05Well, I think you're daft here, and I'm daft here to come down here and listen to you.
00:16:19Gentlemen, I wonder...
00:16:20Just a minute, Joe.
00:16:21But please remember...
00:16:22Hey, who is this guy?
00:16:23Oh, that's Miggs.
00:16:24He owns the joint, and he wants to close up.
00:16:26Oh.
00:16:27Well, we'll be out here in a couple of minutes.
00:16:29Well, I hope so.
00:16:30I'm so tired.
00:16:32Start right at the beginning.
00:16:33I'm so tired.
00:16:49Chronicle?
00:16:50Extension 13.
00:16:51Hello, that you, Marty?
00:16:54Gallagher.
00:16:55Look, get over to my place quickly, will you?
00:16:57And bring that camera, pal.
00:16:59Yeah, yeah, it's hot.
00:17:00Now get over here before it boils over.
00:17:02I'll give you a buzz.
00:17:15I didn't know if anything was up.
00:17:16It's worth investigating, Clutch.
00:17:18Hey, Pete, you got a match?
00:17:19I thought I told you about picking those things up out of the street.
00:17:21Out of the street?
00:17:22Lobby at a Biltmore.
00:17:24What do you mean out of the street?
00:17:25Hello, Mr. Willis.
00:17:26Haven't seen you around lately.
00:17:27Yeah, that's right.
00:17:28What happened with you and Gallagher?
00:17:29Did the milk of romance slightly curdled?
00:17:31Well, shall we say temporarily sour, old boy?
00:17:35She thinks I shoot craps with loaded dice.
00:17:38Has it got anything to do with that Washington assignment you and her went on last week?
00:17:41Where she lost her expense account?
00:17:42Her expense account?
00:17:44Where is she now?
00:17:45Upstairs.
00:17:47Let's go in here and see what's going on.
00:17:48Right.
00:17:49And another thing, Murphy.
00:17:51I don't believe...
00:17:53Hey, what is this?
00:17:55Who called you in, Willis?
00:17:56I have little birdies working for me, Max.
00:17:58Little birdies with golden wings.
00:18:00Oh, yeah?
00:18:01Someday I'm going to clip them golden wings for your good.
00:18:05I don't believe a word of your whole story.
00:18:07Why don't you start clipping?
00:18:08How about give me a match?
00:18:10Joe Wells is deader than a mackerel.
00:18:11He's been...
00:18:12And he's been that way for a long time.
00:18:15Boy, you never can tell.
00:18:17You say you saw him, Murph?
00:18:18Uh...
00:18:19So what are you suggesting?
00:18:22That we conduct a house-to-house canvas in search of the body?
00:18:25And on this kind of evidence?
00:18:26I don't care what you do from now on.
00:18:29You're not letting this thing upset you, are you, Mife?
00:18:30Tell me more about it, Mife.
00:18:32Where is it where I grabbed the shots?
00:18:33What shots?
00:18:35Hey, what is this?
00:18:36What are you trying to pull, Willis?
00:18:37I don't know him.
00:18:38He's not my boy.
00:18:39Well, Gallagher called me.
00:18:40That's all I know.
00:18:41She was all excited about something she had and wanted me to take some pictures.
00:18:45Gallagher?
00:18:45Who the place is this Gallagher?
00:18:46Ah, she's some gal who lives upstairs.
00:18:48That's something to do with the newspapers.
00:18:50Well, go on home.
00:18:51We ain't got nothing to photograph.
00:18:52The dame had fleas in her bonnet.
00:18:54I don't know.
00:18:54I wouldn't do that, pal.
00:18:56She's gone to bed.
00:18:56Yeah, she's retarded for the evening.
00:18:58She called downstairs a few minutes ago and told me to tell you that it was all a mistake.
00:19:02A mistake?
00:19:02Yeah.
00:19:03No, no, that ain't like Gallagher.
00:19:04She don't play hunches.
00:19:05Oh, believe me, pal.
00:19:06She'd be highly insulted if you ever spoiled her sleep.
00:19:09In fact, she'd be inflamed.
00:19:10Yeah.
00:19:11That's the last.
00:19:12Spoiled her sleep?
00:19:13Oh, sorry, old boy.
00:19:14Goodbye.
00:19:15Goodbye.
00:19:19What are you figuring, Pete?
00:19:21See a letter.
00:19:22Well, let me go with you.
00:19:23Maybe I can help you.
00:19:24I said later.
00:19:25All right.
00:19:26I'll be around.
00:19:27Here, pack it on it till I come back.
00:19:29Ah, thanks, Pete.
00:19:31Mucho gracias.
00:19:51That you, Marty?
00:19:52Dolly, don't you know my knock anymore?
00:19:56You stick your nose in here, Pete Willis, and I'll throw my typewriter at your head.
00:20:00Baby, can't you talk without screaming?
00:20:03This is business.
00:20:05Go away, Mr. Willis.
00:20:07I'm very busy.
00:20:08You're busy?
00:20:09You don't think looking for Joe Wells is any fun, do you?
00:20:12You're not still sore about that crap game, are you, honey?
00:20:17That's one thing I'm not talking about.
00:20:19That's the kitchenette.
00:20:20Mm-hmm.
00:20:21You know, they weren't my dice.
00:20:23They belonged to Charlie Baker.
00:20:24That's the closet.
00:20:26Yeah.
00:20:27Besides, they weren't crooked.
00:20:29I just ran into a streak of luck, that's all.
00:20:31Isn't that what you call it?
00:20:32Uh-huh.
00:20:33Excuse me.
00:20:33If you're looking for dirt, it's not there.
00:20:42And Joe Wells, either.
00:20:43I didn't think you were that dumb, honey.
00:20:45But you never know.
00:20:46Oh, look, Pete, I'm really not mad anymore.
00:20:49I mean about the crap game.
00:20:51But I'm busy.
00:20:53No kidding.
00:20:54I think I've looked the first act of that play I told you about.
00:20:57I was just playing around with the idea when you knocked.
00:20:59Oh, did I tell you you were gorgeous tonight, honey?
00:21:02I'm such a wonderful liar.
00:21:05Writing a play, huh?
00:21:07While Detective Lieutenant Hurley's plainclothesman stalked through New York Street,
00:21:11searching apartments and alleyways,
00:21:13creating terror in the hearts of innocent bystanders,
00:21:16the body of Joe Wells was lying in...
00:21:18Lying where?
00:21:19You're so good.
00:21:20Why don't you finish it?
00:21:21You know, this is really horrible.
00:21:23You should go back to writing Loveline columns.
00:21:25Yeah, well, it's a lot more exciting than that stuff they print under your name.
00:21:28All right, baby.
00:21:28I want to help you.
00:21:29Where have you got it?
00:21:30Got what?
00:21:31That is just in case it's found.
00:21:33Oh, I'm sure.
00:21:35If you don't get out of here, I'll call the cops.
00:21:37Yes, you will.
00:21:41What are you going to do?
00:21:43Nothing.
00:21:44I'm going to let you finish the play.
00:21:46But I'm afraid you're going to write the last act in jail.
00:21:48I'm going to let you finish the call.
00:21:50I'll ask you.
00:21:50Let's go.
00:21:50Let's go.
00:21:50Let's go.
00:21:50Let's go.
00:21:51Let's go.
00:21:51Let's go.
00:21:51Oh, my God.
00:22:21Oh, my God.
00:22:43Okay.
00:22:46Okay, I'll look into it right away.
00:22:49Murphy, I can't give this thing anymore my time.
00:22:51Will you quit shoving my chair around?
00:22:53Why don't you get out of here?
00:22:54Why should I?
00:22:55I told you that this happens to be my place of employment.
00:23:00I'll send over a couple of boys and you can scout around.
00:23:02Maybe you'll find something.
00:23:03Or maybe you won't.
00:23:06Oh, I just got a hurry called and look into a shooting a couple of blocks away.
00:23:08You want to go?
00:23:09No, thanks.
00:23:09I'm going home.
00:23:10You know, early to bed, early to rise.
00:23:12Well, any way you want it.
00:23:13Uh-huh.
00:23:14Well, you wait around outside.
00:23:16The prowl car will pick you up.
00:23:21Any new developments?
00:23:23I don't know yet.
00:23:24Well, thanks for calling, Clutch.
00:23:26I'll see you around.
00:23:27Right.
00:23:28Good night, Mr. Mays.
00:23:29Good night, Mr. Willis.
00:23:30Take care of yourself, Pete.
00:23:32I'll go put on the night light in the back.
00:23:34You be ready now.
00:23:35Oh, wait.
00:24:04Oh.
00:24:04Oh.
00:24:04Oh.
00:24:05Oh.
00:24:05Oh.
00:24:05Take care of that, Gwendolyn.
00:24:14Don't let the smoke get in your eyes.
00:24:25Oh!
00:24:28My, Nix, what's the matter?
00:24:30What are you so dissipated about?

00:24:34Out there.
00:24:35Sitting out there.
00:24:36Sitting out there.

00:27:47If my price isn't right, it won't make any difference.
00:27:52That's the body of Joe Wells.
00:27:57Lucky I swept up yesterday, isn't it?
00:27:59Your levity fails to impress me, Miss...
00:28:02Gallagher.
00:28:03Sue Gallagher.
00:28:04Will you stop scaring me with that gun?
00:28:16If this is a gag and Pete Willis sent you...
00:28:19Let's not get away from the subject, Miss Gallagher.
00:28:22If you haven't got the body of Joe Wells in this apartment,
00:28:25I'm convinced that you know where it is.
00:28:28You see, I followed the blood spots in the Empress Hotel
00:28:30across the alleyway to your staircase.
00:28:32And now this.
00:28:36I know he was shot,
00:28:37and I know that he couldn't have dragged himself much further.
00:28:39Where is he?
00:28:42All right, what's the use?
00:28:44The body's downstairs in the exhibit.
00:28:47Ah, now we're getting somewhere.
00:28:49I don't imagine you want to meet the cops who are down there.
00:28:53Oh, now, Miss Gallagher, let's be honest with each other.
00:28:57We both heard the police car drive away a few minutes ago.
00:29:01That's too bad.
00:29:03I'll follow you.
00:29:16Miss Gallagher?
00:29:18Is that you, Miss Gallagher?
00:29:21Yes, Mr. Mix.
00:29:22Who's that?
00:29:24He owns the place.
00:29:26I guess he's closing up.
00:29:27You'll go back and wait.
00:29:41She's gone upstairs again.
00:29:43Let's perambulate.
00:29:44Well, let me rest a minute, please, Clutch.
00:29:48That's all I need.
00:29:49Miss Gallagher, catch him doing this.
00:29:53I just happen to remember, the top on your car is down.
00:29:55We've got to put it up.
00:29:56Do we have to do that?
00:29:59Now, Mr. Mix, you wouldn't want to risk your social standing
00:30:01by being seen chauffeuring to demolish gangsters through the streets, would you?
00:30:04Yeah.
00:30:05All right, never mind.
00:30:07You sit there and rest.
00:30:08I'll put the top up.
00:30:23I don't know.
00:30:24I don't get it.
00:30:25What's your angle?
00:30:29Where are you heading?
00:30:31What in the world do you want with that corpse?
00:30:34Let's say it's a collector's item.
00:30:39Well, as long as we have to wait, I'd like to get the story on paper.
00:30:42You'll be wasting your time.
00:30:43You won't have the body to prove it.
00:30:46After you're through with it, it'll turn up somewhere.
00:30:48That is a moot question.
00:30:55Answer it, but be careful what you say.
00:31:04Hello?
00:31:05Oh, McAndrews.
00:31:07Hey, listen, lame brain.
00:31:08What do you mean, getting Marty out on a wild brains out for nothing, huh?
00:31:12The night editor, he's upset.
00:31:15All right, so I called Marty.
00:31:17So it was a mistake.
00:31:18What about it?
00:31:20Well, I said it was a mistake.
00:31:22What do you want me to do, cut my throat?
00:31:24Well, that's not a bad idea.
00:31:26Or better still, go back to school and learn how to write.
00:31:29And don't you tell me anything about writing stories.
00:31:32I'll be getting bylines when you've ended up on a copy desk, a gray head...
00:31:36Oh, you're disappointed in something.
00:31:39Oh, you're disappointed in something.
00:31:41Oh, you're disappointed in something.
00:32:42What about the guy that rented the joint?
00:32:44I don't know.
00:32:44I don't know nothing about him.
00:32:46He's just been living here in the place a week.
00:32:48Never showed his face.
00:32:49It was just a mug.
00:32:51Yeah, like what?
00:32:52Oh, little rat-faced guy with a pinhead like a carp.
00:32:56That was Joe Wells.
00:32:57You can tell by the...
00:32:58Shut up.
00:32:58I make the discoveries around here.
00:33:00I guess I know Joe Wells when I hear him.
00:33:02Now, what do you know about it anyway, Hawkshaw?
00:33:05Where did you get the key to this room?
00:33:07Back at Mixes.
00:33:07That's where Joe Wells is now.
00:33:09The girls got him.
00:33:10What girls?
00:33:11Gallagher.
00:33:12Gallagher?
00:33:12Yeah, you know, the reporter that lives upstairs.
00:33:14Everybody knows everything around here but me.
00:33:15I'm just a detective.
00:33:17Come on, let's get back to Mixes.
00:33:18Everything's all set.
00:33:31Let's grab him and hit the gravel.
00:33:32I hope we're doing right, Clutch.
00:33:35Of course we're doing right.
00:33:36I figured this whole thing out by the process of mental reduction.
00:33:38Oh.
00:33:39Well, you got to drive, Clutch.
00:33:41I'm too nervous.
00:33:42Okay, if I'll make you feel any better.
00:33:44Come on.
00:33:44Come on.
00:33:48Come on.
00:34:18You're leaving, Miss Gallagher.
00:34:20Now I'll relieve you of that body.
00:34:24Wait.
00:34:35Open up.
00:34:36It's the police.
00:34:38Come on.
00:34:39Open up in there.
00:34:40Visitors in the alley.
00:34:41It's too bad.
00:34:46It's going to change your plan.
00:34:48I don't think so, Miss Gallagher.
00:34:50They're only yours.
00:34:51I don't think so.
00:34:52I'll see what I can do with this lock.
00:35:07I don't think so, Miss Gallagher.
00:35:10No.
00:35:11Passkey won't work.
00:35:13Let's try around front.
00:35:14Go to the door.
00:35:22I don't think so, Miss Gallagher.
00:35:37Go to the door.
00:35:39Go to the door.
00:35:40Go to the door.
00:35:40Go to the door.
00:35:40You're right through the back door there.
00:36:08I'm going to phone my paper.
00:36:09I'll be right up.
00:36:10All right, make it snap.
00:36:10All right, make it snap.
00:36:40All right, make it snap.
00:37:10Yeah, and you and I could make a fortune here.
00:37:13All right, Mac, put it away.
00:37:15No matter what you're looking for, it's not here.
00:37:18You're not the police.
00:37:19No.
00:37:21I wouldn't call for them if I were you.
00:37:23Why should I?
00:37:24Maybe you and I can do some business.
00:37:25What are you selling?
00:37:27Oh, a lot of things.
00:37:29For instance, Joe Wells.
00:37:30Either the girl was lying or you've double-crossed her.
00:37:34You call it anything you want, but I've got the body.
00:37:37Well, we can't talk now.
00:37:40You better get out of here.
00:37:41The cops will be here any minute.
00:37:43How about my apartment, say, in an hour?
00:37:44I have little choice.
00:37:461140, Regent place.
00:37:481140, Regent place.
00:37:50And I hope you're not wasting my time.
00:37:53The name's Willis.
00:37:56Mr. Willis.
00:37:56Yeah, all right, Martin.
00:38:10Yeah, I'll take care of it.
00:38:11I'll keep you posted.
00:38:11Bye-bye.
00:38:14Well, what'd you find?
00:38:17Nothing.
00:38:17She's staggering around her apartment with a lump on her head the size of an egg,
00:38:20trying to find some ice cubes to put on it.
00:38:22She said some goony guy clunked her on the noggin.
00:38:25Maybe I'm crazy.
00:38:26I've never been on a case like this before,
00:38:28trying to find a corpse that somebody stole.
00:38:31Somebody stole it?
00:38:32Where have you been?
00:38:34The dame says she stole the corpse.
00:38:35Then some guy stole it from her.
00:38:37Now, can you figure that out?
00:38:38Uh-uh.
00:38:39Uh-uh.
00:38:40Who in the blazes would want a corpse in the first place?
00:38:56All right, sweetheart.
00:38:59Now, where is it?
00:39:02Now, look.
00:39:05You don't think you're going to get away with this for long, do you?
00:39:08You almost got yourself killed, and now the cops are on your trail.
00:39:11Let me take over.
00:39:12You're talking to Papa.
00:39:13I told Hurley who took it.
00:39:15Will you stop bothering me?
00:39:17I've had enough for one night.
00:39:19It's still your party, Angel.
00:39:21Somebody's got the corpse, and it's not the guy who conked you.
00:39:25Well, the way you talk, it sounds like you know more about this thing than I do.
00:39:28I do.
00:39:29I saw the creep just before he got away.
00:39:32The way you're handling things, you're going to wind up in the morning instead of Joe Will.
00:39:36Please don't be so cute.
00:39:38How do you figure in on this?
00:39:41I told him I had the body.
00:39:43I wanted to help you out.
00:39:44Oh, sure, sure.
00:39:46You mean you'd like to wheedle it out of me with that sweet talk
00:39:49and hog the story for yourself?
00:39:52Baby, you know there's enough story in this for both of us.
00:39:55I told you I haven't got it.
00:39:57Stop kidding, Papa.
00:39:58We have to produce a corpse in an hour, so come on.
00:40:01I told you I didn't have it.
00:40:03There you go, leaving me holding the bag.
00:40:07All right, lady, get your coat on.
00:40:09You're going to jail.
00:40:10Jail?
00:40:11For what?
00:40:12Stealing corpses.
00:40:13But what was stolen from me?
00:40:15That's tough on you, lady.
00:40:16You started this game of put and take.
00:40:18What about him?
00:40:19He said he told the guy that socked me.
00:40:21A figment of her imagination, Max.
00:40:23I've told you everything.
00:40:24I'm merely an innocent bystander.
00:40:26Yeah, what are you trying to do, drag him down to your level?
00:40:29Yeah.
00:40:29Come on.
00:40:31I'll phone your relatives, honey.
00:40:32Oh, Clutch.
00:40:34Hey, boy, am I glad I found you home.
00:41:01Are you alone?
00:41:07Yeah, yeah, we're alone.
00:41:07They got Migs.
00:41:08Who had it?
00:41:09The cops.
00:41:09Well, that's too bad.
00:41:10But look, Clutch, I'm expecting a very important visit.
00:41:12Oh, but this is more important.
00:41:13We took the body at Joe Wilson's back in the freight car, and the cops chased us.
00:41:16What?
00:41:17Yeah, we found the body in exhibit.
00:41:18We figured we'd better do something with it.
00:41:19Why didn't you call me?
00:41:20There wasn't no time.
00:41:21And besides, I didn't want Gallagher bus in it, so I figured I'd take the body and hide it,
00:41:24and then tell you, and you'd get an exclusive with no interference.
00:41:26All right, all right.
00:41:26Then what happened?
00:41:27We got the body hit in the freight car, right?
00:41:29When a yard bolt surprised us, just as we're landing.
00:41:31So we got scared.
00:41:32So you ran?
00:41:33So we run.
00:41:33Oh, that's just dandy.
00:41:35Wasn't so dandy for Migs.
00:41:36He got caught.
00:41:37What about the cops?
00:41:38I don't guess they know nothing about that yet.
00:41:40Poor old Migs.
00:41:42They got him on suspicion that Chesperson prohibited or something.
00:41:44Have you any idea where you put him?
00:41:45Who, Migs?
00:41:46No, the cops.
00:41:47Well, certainly.
00:41:48Well, what are we standing here beating our gums for?
00:41:50Let's go get him.
00:41:51Right.
00:41:53Gallagher?
00:41:54What now?
00:41:56If it's that kidney-foot Hurley again, you tell him for me.
00:41:58Stop racing your motor.
00:41:59Somebody just put up your bail.
00:42:01Bail?
00:42:02Who?
00:42:03That ain't my department.
00:42:04Better ask out front.
00:42:06I said miracles never happen.
00:42:10Yeah, you better get here right away, Hurley.
00:42:12Something just broke on the well story.
00:42:14That's right.
00:42:16A guy named Migs.
00:42:17Complete confession.
00:42:19Snatching bodies.
00:42:20I didn't confess anything.
00:42:22I just said...
00:42:23You said you stuck the corpse of Joe Wells in a freight car, didn't you?
00:42:28Mr. Migs.
00:42:29What did you do?
00:42:31Oh, Miss Gallagher, I'm so glad to see you.
00:42:35Oh, don't tell me they think you're the guy.
00:42:37Oh, it was horrible.
00:42:38Just like a nightmare.
00:42:39I had no idea I was going to get in trouble like this.
00:42:43That's what they all say.
00:42:44This ought to be good for murder.
00:42:46What are you trying to do?
00:42:47Crucify him?
00:42:49Where did you put it?
00:42:51In a boxcar in the freight yards.
00:42:53Oh, Ohio and Western car, I think.
00:42:56Near a water tower at the end of the yard.
00:42:59We'll get you out of this in no time, Mr. Migs.
00:43:01None of your funny business now.
00:43:03You keep waiting in freight yards, see?
00:43:06Who's going near the freight yards?
00:43:08I just want enough time to get to my paper.
00:43:11Take it easy.
00:43:12With my story on page one in the morning, you'll be exonerated in full.
00:43:17I hope so.
00:43:18I'm so tired.
00:43:27You waiting for somebody?
00:43:28I guess it's you, lady.
00:43:29Take me to the chronicle.
00:43:30Okay.
00:43:31And step on it.
00:43:31Right.
00:43:36Holy cow, you were...
00:43:38Steady.
00:43:40Make that 1140 Regent place.
00:43:42Forget the chronicle.
00:43:43Then you're the guy that bailed me out.
00:43:50And for this.
00:43:51Just in case Mr. Willis pulls the double cross.
00:43:55Your safety might convince him and better not.
00:43:58Mr. Willis says he has a body.
00:43:59We're going over to get it.
00:44:00Listen, Pete Willis hasn't got anything but galls.
00:44:06Whatever he told you, I know he hasn't got it.
00:44:09You and Mr. Willis come up with the most amazing stories.
00:44:12Why should I believe you?
00:44:14Look, you've got to believe me.
00:44:19He's never even seen the body of Willis.
00:44:22Miggs stole it while you and I were playing footsy-footsy upstairs in my apartment.
00:44:27And stop shaking your head.
00:44:29I know this sounds fantastic, but the cops caught Miggs 20 minutes ago in the freight
00:44:35yard where he hid the body in a boxcar.
00:44:37And that's where it is now.
00:44:40You're sure?
00:44:41They didn't know a corpse was mixed up in it until he sweated it out of him at the station.
00:44:47Where are the police now?
00:44:48How do I know?
00:44:49Going after the body, I guess.
00:44:52You're sure you're not, uh, stringing me along, Miss Gallagher?
00:44:56Stop handing me that gazipe, will you?
00:44:59Do I look crazy enough to stick my neck out when you've got the advantage?
00:45:04Change that last address to the freight yards and hurry.
00:45:18What's the matter, you lost?
00:45:20Uh-uh.
00:45:21It's down that way, by the end of the yards.
00:45:23Let's go.
00:45:29This is it, I think.
00:45:36Yeah.
00:45:37Yeah, that's it.
00:45:38Ohio and West.
00:45:39It's a good thing you learned to read.
00:45:41You know I'm very illiterate.
00:45:42Leave him in there, nice and comfortable, buddy.
00:45:49Come on, up you go.
00:45:54Give me a hand, you get his feet.
00:45:55What are we going to do with him?
00:45:57Let's get him out of here before anybody else finds him, and then we can worry what to do with him.
00:46:02Something's coming.
00:46:04Quick, open the other door.
00:46:05All right, jump down there.
00:46:20Grab a hole, let's get out of here.
00:46:21Oh, Ohio and Western, that's what makes it.
00:46:30I don't see it.
00:46:31It's probably back there in the dark.
00:46:33If this is another of your tricks, Miss Gallagher.
00:46:35Look, all I want to do is turn this thing over to you.
00:46:37It's not here.
00:46:55I'm positive this is a car.
00:46:58Oh, that corpse certainly gets around.
00:47:01Quiet.
00:47:02It's what?
00:47:03Quiet.
00:47:04Some crazy thing, that's what I call it.
00:47:07Why didn't you call the cops when you found it?
00:47:09Well, I was so nervous, I thought I...
00:47:11You thought.
00:47:13What do people pay taxes for to have a police force?
00:47:15I know, officer, I'm completely to blame.
00:47:19Hold on, this is this where we left it.
00:47:21We left it right here, right there, not far from the door.
00:47:26Well, it ain't here now.
00:47:29If you've...
00:47:30Maybe they'll go away.
00:47:32Oh, my goodness, somebody must have stolen it.
00:47:35Stop that again.
00:47:36Who do you think you're trying to kill?
00:47:38That's the same story the dame gave me.
00:47:40I'm telling you the truth, officer.
00:47:41I'm lying to you.
00:47:43Yeah.
00:47:43Well, what are you standing around for?
00:47:44Start looking.
00:47:45Sure, sure, Mr. Huggins.
00:47:46We just didn't know.
00:47:47You didn't know.
00:47:48Who knows anything anymore?
00:47:50Not there.
00:47:51Inside.
00:47:52Maybe it got up and moved out of the draft.
00:47:56There she is.
00:47:57Get the other one.
00:47:59Not tonight.
00:48:00All right, boys.
00:48:02Two of you go that way.
00:48:03We'll go the other way.
00:48:03There.
00:48:03Did you see anything?
00:48:11Not a thing.
00:48:12Miss, sister, can I go home now?
00:48:15Yeah, Peter, it's no help to me.
00:48:18You know, I'm awful tired.
00:48:20Me too.
00:48:20Of you.
00:48:21Come on.
00:48:23But I'm in a jam, Mr. McAndrews.
00:48:38The Chronicle's got to help me.
00:48:40But I stole it for the Chronicle.
00:48:43Holy cow, can't you understand that?
00:48:45Shut up.
00:48:46I know you're in a jam.
00:48:47So does the Chronicle for letting you represent it.
00:48:49Say, who do you think you are?
00:48:51Stealing a body off the street and then losing it.
00:48:56I know that.
00:48:59The DA's office and the police department and Max Hurley are all on my neck.
00:49:02We don't want any part of it.
00:49:04But you've got to keep me from the law until I find it again.
00:49:07And I've got an idea.
00:49:08Pete Willis...
00:49:08Ah, that's what I get for hiring a half-baked woman reporter.
00:49:13A screwball Daffy Budinsky.
00:49:16You're fired.
00:49:16You can't fire me.
00:49:18I quit.
00:49:19This isn't a newspaper story.
00:49:20It's a career.
00:49:21And you're bellyaching because some cop's been complaining.
00:49:24Well, you go soak your head, you ungrateful ape.
00:49:26Go soak your head.
00:49:37Okay, you oversized quiz kit.
00:49:40What did you do with it?
00:49:40Why, Angel, how did you find out?
00:49:42I guess.
00:49:43You and that creep following me are getting me gray hairs.
00:49:46Well, why'd you get out of the clay?
00:49:47Didn't you like it there?
00:49:48They tell me with a new paint job.
00:49:50I'll have a fair care.
00:49:51If you'd kept your big nose out of my business instead of bringing the cops back to my apartment,
00:49:55I'd never have landed in jail.
00:49:57Oh, that's a fine way to talk to someone who's been trying to save a story for you.
00:50:00For me?
00:50:01Yes.
00:50:01Why, you fix me up so with the police.
00:50:03I don't know which end is up.
00:50:04Oh, baby.
00:50:06And stop trying to talk me into something.
00:50:08There you go.
00:50:09Always belittling.
00:50:11Relax, will you?
00:50:12Sure, relax.
00:50:13Along with everything else, McAndrews just can me.
00:50:16Well, you've been asking for that for a long time.
00:50:18I know.
00:50:19But it did it so good to tell that stupid old foot where to head in.
00:50:23But that's not what I'm worried about now.
00:50:25Oh?
00:50:26Look, Pete, for crying out loud, what'd you do with the body?
00:50:29The body.
00:50:30All I want to do is give it back to the cops and get out of this mess.
00:50:32I don't want the story anymore.
00:50:34I just want to live.
00:50:36Stop beating your brains out.
00:50:37What we've got will get you a better job than the one you've lost.
00:50:40What good will it do me with a lily in my hand?
00:50:42Oh, here.
00:50:44What's that?
00:50:45Read it.
00:50:48Lane?
00:50:48No, Montevideo, Uruguay.
00:50:50It's got a government stamp on it.
00:50:52I took it out of Wells' pocket.
00:50:53South America?
00:50:54Uh-huh.
00:50:55So that's where he's been all these years.
00:50:57Under an assumed name, Peter Burnett.
00:50:58Well, where does the creep fit in on this?
00:51:01I don't know.
00:51:01I don't read Spanish.
00:51:03That's why we're waiting for the gentleman.
00:51:04And he's coming here any minute.
00:51:06Oh, Pete, he's dangerous.
00:51:07Yeah, I know.
00:51:08How about a drink in the meantime?
00:51:12Make mine bourbon.
00:51:14You're not sore with me anymore, are you, baby?
00:51:16Just don't pull any fast ones on me, darling.
00:51:18That's all.
00:51:21Here we are.
00:51:22Try this one for size, huh?
00:51:25Just to keep you honest.
00:51:27Trusting soul, aren't you?
00:51:29We go together, don't we, huh?
00:51:30Mm-hmm.
00:51:31Even with that Joe's citizen appearance of yours, I still know you're a hobgoblin underneath.
00:51:36Oh, but you still love me, don't you, baby?
00:51:38Mm-hmm.
00:51:40There he is now.
00:51:41Watch yourself.
00:51:42Come on.
00:51:42Oh, come in.
00:51:51We've been waiting for you.
00:51:52I'm usually more punctual, but I was delayed.
00:51:54I can't say I'm too surprised at seeing you here, Miss Gallagher.
00:52:00Oh, sit down.
00:52:02Make yourself at home, mister.
00:52:03Say, I can't be calling my guests, hey, you all the time.
00:52:07My name is Jerky.
00:52:09I must say that I admire the pacific acidity of the American press.
00:52:14Once they smell a story, they stop at nothing till they get it.
00:52:18Well, we can dispense with the compliments.
00:52:20We want facts.
00:52:22You're not going to get the body until you answer a few questions.
00:52:25And that depends, Mr. Willis.
00:52:27That depends entirely upon the questions.
00:52:30Well, uh, how's this for a starter?
00:52:38That's interesting.
00:52:40I see that you and I are beginning to understand each other.
00:52:43You don't want a story at all.
00:52:45You want the diamonds.
00:52:47Oh.
00:52:49How'd you guess it, Jerky?
00:52:51Catches on quick, doesn't he, honey?
00:52:53Like a bird dog.
00:52:54Now, let's not waste any time, shall we?
00:52:59Holy cow!
00:53:01Those stones represent a quarter of a million dollars.
00:53:05A part of them go to both of you.
00:53:08Then I get the body.
00:53:10Well, that's just dandy, but, uh, as long as we're going to be partners, uh, you'll have to tell us more.
00:53:16Yeah, you know, just in case of trouble, so I'll still reach John.
00:53:19Oh, I don't mind.
00:53:22I represent a group of diamond merchants from whom these stones were stolen in South America.
00:53:28The robbery was very cleverly done by one Peter Burnett.
00:53:32Otherwise, Wells.
00:53:33Joe Wells.
00:53:35The Uruguayan government offered a reward for his capture, but he escaped.
00:53:39And, uh, you trailed him here.
00:53:42Precisely.
00:53:42In fact, I was here before Mr. Wells arrived.
00:53:45But, uh, why do you want the corpse when you already have the diamond?
00:53:49Well, let's go into that, shall we, after you have carried out your end of the bargain?
00:53:54Now, Mr. Willis, where's the body?
00:53:57Oh, that's easy.
00:53:58The corpse is riding around Central Park in a taxi, waiting to be picked up.
00:54:03Shall we join him?
00:54:04We'll be there in a few minutes.
00:54:22But a body in a cab, Mr. Willis, is that quite safe?
00:54:24I told him to hacky he was a friend of mine, too drunk to take home.
00:54:29An hour spent around the park, and I'd pick him up in good condition.
00:54:32That was clever.
00:54:34Well, who'd know a drunk from a stiff?
00:54:36I had him propped up in the corner just as nice as you please.
00:54:39You mean if he doesn't start sliding?
00:54:42Think I'm nuts?
00:54:43I had him pinned to the cushion.
00:54:45Amazing.
00:54:47All right, driver, start through the park.
00:54:54Here you are.
00:55:00Got a little foggy, didn't it?
00:55:09Hey, driver.
00:55:10Oh, it's you.
00:55:11I thought you'd never get here.
00:55:12Everything okay?
00:55:13Sure.
00:55:14He hasn't even blinked an eye.
00:55:16Hey, what's this guy been drinking?
00:55:17Embalming fluid?
00:55:19He will be.
00:55:19He'll fall on.
00:55:20Now, let's get in and settle this thing.
00:55:22You too.
00:55:22Well, don't you think it'll be a little crowded?
00:55:24For all four of us.
00:55:25You'll manage.
00:55:27All right, then.
00:55:36In somewhat of a hurry, aren't you?
00:55:38I want to get this thing over with.
00:55:40I can understand that.
00:55:44What are you worrying about?
00:55:46There's only one Joe Wells.
00:55:48Do you want to sit next to him?
00:55:49Never mind.
00:55:50Drive us to the ferry.
00:55:52Just a minute.
00:55:54Don't you trust me, Mr. Willis?
00:55:55That's where I relieve you of the body and pay off.
00:55:58I love you.
00:56:01I love you.
00:56:02I love you, Mr. Willis.
00:56:02I thought we were leaving you after we got on the boat.
00:56:29A short trip across the water can hardly matter now, Miss Gallagher, especially as we
00:56:34shan't be seeing each other any more after tonight.
00:56:38Well, we're almost across.
00:56:40How about the split?
00:56:41Let's stretch our legs and finish our business at the same time.
00:56:46How come Joe wasn't walking around with all that men in him?
00:57:00I thought he was dead when I left his room at the Empress Hotel.
00:57:03I went down to get a cab to carry away the body, but when I got back, he was gone.
00:57:07He must have had just enough life left to drag himself to my family.
00:57:11Jokey, why do you want to carry the body away if you're only interested in getting the diamonds
00:57:14back to your bosses?
00:57:15Oh, pardon me.
00:57:16I was only interested in getting those diamonds for myself.
00:57:19The old double cross.
00:57:20The guys that hired him to get the diamonds get nothing.
00:57:23That was the general idea, Miss Gallagher.
00:57:26Cute, isn't he?
00:57:27Steals the body, destroys it, then tells the diamond owners to go chase themselves.
00:57:30You couldn't lose.
00:57:31Precisely.
00:57:32Joe Wells was not to be found, that's all I'll tell them.
00:57:36In a few years, I'll sell those diamonds at a slight loss.
00:57:40Some loss you're going to take.
00:57:42What about the cops?
00:57:43Well, they'll believe what they've believed for five years.
00:57:47I sure put Mr. Wells at the bottom of the river.
00:57:51Well, they think he is anyhow.
00:57:54Yeah, but there'll be questions after tonight.
00:57:57Whom will they question?
00:57:58Oh, me, Miss Gallagher.
00:58:00And you think you will be available for questioning, Mr. Willis?
00:58:04I figured you'd spill when you thought you'd have it in the spot.
00:58:08It's your own, Kelsey.
00:58:10Quiet!
00:58:11Please!
00:58:12Leave!
00:58:38Oh, on your feet, little man.
00:58:41Look at the bacon I brought home.
00:58:44Where's Clutch?
00:58:46Clutch? What's he got to do with this?
00:58:48Annie Oakley finished it herself.
00:58:50Didn't he get out of the cab?
00:58:52Say, are you conscious?
00:58:53There's no one in the cab but the stiff.
00:58:55No, lady, that's no stiff. That was Clutch.
00:58:57Clutch!
00:58:58Come on. Come on, doggie.
00:59:03And you mean all the time Clutch was doubling for the body of Joe Wells?
00:59:07Sure. I figured Jokey would try to knock us off.
00:59:10Clutch was supposed to cover us with his gun.
00:59:12Oh, no wonder you were so brave back there.
00:59:15Hey, Clutch!
00:59:17Clutch!
00:59:18Clutch, wake up!
00:59:19Hmm? Hmm, what?
00:59:21Oh, where is he?
00:59:22Which way to go? I'll get him.
00:59:24I'll get him with my heater.
00:59:25Take it easy. I thought you were going to follow us.
00:59:28Oh, murder.
00:59:30I must have fell asleep.
00:59:31Oh, that's just fine. I hope you had a nice nap.
00:59:34All right, Jokey, get in.
00:59:37Don't pull no calisthenics, bud.
00:59:47Well, let's better be on the level. That's all I got to say.
00:59:50You say this guy's a murderer?
00:59:51Or a reasonable facsimile.
00:59:54Hello, give me Morrison.
00:59:54And who's this character with the zoot haircut?
00:59:58The name is Clutch Tracy.
01:00:00And my racket happens to be empoisonating electrocutions.
01:00:04Well, if you don't believe us now, that'll resent you.
01:00:07Well, what are you waiting on? Throw him in the cell.
01:00:12You mean you've got to give him the third degree?
01:00:14Sure.
01:00:15Then we're going to scalp him and hang him up by his toes.
01:00:17This I've got to see.
01:00:20Hey, Sarge, give me a match, will you?
01:00:23Thanks.
01:00:24You better keep a couple of these in case you run short.
01:00:28Hello, Morrison.
01:00:29Hold on to your pants.
01:00:31Wait for what?
01:00:33The nerve of him. He's on another phone.
01:00:35This story ought to be good for you.
01:00:37Cheer up, honey.
01:00:38Say, Sarge, you better get a hold of Lieutenant Max Hurley.
01:00:40Lieutenant Hurley, he's out on a cruise car.
01:00:42The only way I can reach him is by a radio.
01:00:44You better get him.
01:00:45I've got something he wants very badly.
01:00:47Well, this better be on the level, that's all.
01:00:49Pearson?
01:00:50Talk by a mic in the radio circuit.
01:00:54Connected, Sergeant.
01:00:55Calling car 27.
01:00:56What?
01:00:57Calling car 27.
01:00:58Come in, Lieutenant Hurley.
01:00:59Calling car 27.
01:01:01Calling car 27.
01:01:02Lieutenant Max Hurley.
01:01:04Come in, Max, dearie.
01:01:06What kind of lame brain Tom Fulray goes on in that?
01:01:09Hello, Max.
01:01:10This is Pete Willis.
01:01:11Why, you wink-spattered imbecile.
01:01:13What do you think you're...
01:01:13Temper, temper.
01:01:16Willis, if you don't tell me what you did with Joe Wells,
01:01:17I'll personally take you apart like a...
01:01:19like an artichoke.
01:01:21You've been riding around with him all night,
01:01:22ever since you left the freight yard.
01:01:24Riding around?
01:01:25Are you nuts?
01:01:27He's right behind you, Max.
01:01:28In your trunk.
01:01:31Isn't it?
01:01:31He's there.
01:01:32I put him there.
01:01:33That is all.
01:01:35Stop it.
01:01:36Pull it.
01:01:37Get...
01:01:37Stop!
01:01:38Stop!
01:01:39Hey.
