00:04:34Ray Willis.
00:04:36District...
00:04:38Dear Ray...
00:04:40In exactly...
00:04:4255 minutes...
00:04:44I will be dead.
00:04:50Murdered.
00:04:52First of all, let me explain...
00:04:54I find myself...
00:04:56completely sober, reasonably sane...
00:04:58and...
00:05:00not at all surprised.
00:05:02It started back in World War II...
00:05:04during the Iwo Jima Campaign.
00:05:06I was a captain in the Marine Corps.
00:05:10As you know...
00:05:12every captain needs a top sergeant.
00:05:14Well, I really had the best.
00:05:16His name was Joe Leeds.
00:05:20Hitting the Iwo Beach Head was...
00:05:22was like running into a living hell.
00:05:24I guess I got a little careless.
00:05:26In saving my life...
00:05:28Joe was hit.
00:05:30He carried a bullet...
00:05:32so close to his lungs...
00:05:34surgery was impossible.
00:05:36During the time...
00:05:38the medics patched us up...
00:05:40we became great friends.
00:05:42After the war...
00:05:44I watched him...
00:05:46build a home.
00:05:48I watched him become successful.
00:05:50We were closer than...
00:05:52than most brothers.
00:05:54One afternoon, six months ago...
00:05:56I sent for Joe.
00:06:00I knew I was gonna break his heart.
00:06:02And all I could think about...
00:06:04was whether...
00:06:06it wouldn't have been better...
00:06:08for both of us...
00:06:10if he had allowed me to...
00:06:12die on that beach that day.
00:06:14You know, Craig...
00:06:16you're the only guy in town...
00:06:18that could get me out...
00:06:20this time of day.
00:06:21But I was coming over...
00:06:22to see you anyway.
00:06:23Oh?
00:06:24Yeah.
00:06:25There's a new housing development...
00:06:26going up over at Piedmont.
00:06:27What do you think about...
00:06:28buying a corner lot...
00:06:29and sticking up a new market?
00:06:31Might be an idea.
00:06:35What's the matter with you, boy?
00:06:36You look like you had a problem...
00:06:38that was too heavy to carry.
00:06:39It almost is, Joe.
00:06:41Well, after all...
00:06:42we've been through it.
00:06:43Can't be too serious.
00:06:44Maybe talking and I'll help.
00:06:47It's going to mean...
00:06:48throwing 15 years of friendship...
00:06:50right out the window.
00:06:51Well, if it's a real friendship...
00:06:52it won't bend easy.
00:06:53Okay.
00:06:57Are you happy being married to Myra?
00:06:59And Joe, don't tell me...
00:07:00it's none of my business.
00:07:02Oh, I don't know.
00:07:04Happy is a word...
00:07:06that means a lot of things.
00:07:07It's a state of being.
00:07:08I never ask myself.
00:07:10Well, I got a beautiful wife...
00:07:12a lovely home...
00:07:13good business.
00:07:14Guy can't expect anything.
00:07:16I guess being grateful...
00:07:17is as good as being happy.
00:07:19Not really, Joe.
00:07:21Perhaps you haven't realized...
00:07:23how little time you've been spending at home.
00:07:26How many evenings you've given to the business.
00:07:29Myra is a fine woman, Joe.
00:07:31When she married you, she was in love.
00:07:34But no one wants to be alone all the time.
00:07:37Now she'd like to do something about it.
00:07:40Oh, I see.
00:07:42She told you to talk to me.
00:07:45Did she ask you to represent her too?
00:07:47It was more my idea than hers.
00:07:50I don't follow you.
00:07:51I...
00:07:56don't know how to say it...
00:07:57without making it sound cheap.
00:08:04People meet with...
00:08:06no thought of being anything but friends.
00:08:09Circumstances throw them together.
00:08:12Then they discover in each other...
00:08:13many mutual interests.
00:08:15They begin to anticipate their next meeting.
00:08:18And then the next one.
00:08:20Until finally...
00:08:22one day they...
00:08:24they both realize they're very much in love.
00:08:28Okay, don't dress it up.
00:08:30Who's the guy?
00:08:31I'm in love with her, Joe.
00:08:34I want to marry her.
00:08:36That's the way it is.
00:08:39And it's the most difficult thing...
00:08:41I've ever had to say to anyone.
00:08:44Are you sure, Craig?
00:08:47Are you sure you know what you're doing?
00:08:50I'm in love with her, Joe.
00:08:57What do you want me to do?
00:09:00I'd like Myra to go away.
00:09:04Get a divorce.
00:09:06You know, Craig, I've always had a lot of respect...
00:09:11and admiration for you.
00:09:15Leveling with me like this has taken a lot of guts.
00:09:18Like I said, a real friendship doesn't bend easy.
00:09:27This...
00:09:29this kind of knocked the wind out of me.
00:09:31I...
00:09:32Give me a couple of days of kicking around, will you?
00:09:35Yes, Mr. Carlson?
00:09:52Sí, señor Carlson.
00:10:01¿Puedo cancelar el resto de mis appointments para el día?
00:10:12¿Está bien, hermano? ¿Has tenido un día en corte?
00:10:16¿Has tenido un día en mi vida, Myra?
00:10:19¿Qué fue, Craig?
00:10:22¿He?
00:10:26¿Para qué tal si vas a ir?
00:10:28No, no, no, no.
00:10:31Si algo es malo, he de verdad que se sabe.
00:10:35I saw Joe hoy.
00:10:38He contó sobre esto.
00:10:41¿Qué está diciendo?
00:10:46¿Qué estáis mal, Myra?
00:10:49He se nos hacía.
00:10:50He just said, give him a couple of days to think it over.
00:11:00I guess I helped him die a little today.
00:11:04I know I did.
00:11:07Darling, do you believe that when we first met, we tried to fall in love?
00:11:14Why, no, certainly not.
00:11:15Haven't we respected my marriage?
00:11:17We tried to walk away.
00:11:19We did everything we could not to let it happen.
00:11:24That doesn't make today any easier.
00:11:27I never wanted to hurt Joe.
00:11:29I didn't think I could possibly fall in love with anyone else.
00:11:33But I have.
00:11:36Craig, darling, I'm not ashamed of my feelings for you.
00:11:41I'm not afraid of the world knowing the truth.
00:11:44I don't believe what we have is wrong.
00:11:46Don't spoil it, Craig.
00:11:50I just dropped by to tell you of Mr. Swell Weddingtoe.
00:11:54Faith was a real pretty bride.
00:11:56The only thing you were there the night she was born, I kind of hoped you'd be there tonight when I gave her away.
00:12:01Oh, I had a million things to do, Lou.
00:12:02I just hoped the kids would be happy.
00:12:03Oh, they're a cinch.
00:12:04You never saw two people better suited for each other, tops even mom and me.
00:12:07I know, but sometimes even the best things have a way of going sour.
00:12:09Joe, what's wrong?
00:12:11Well, it makes you think there's something wrong.
00:12:12You can't fool me.
00:12:13Just the other day when I was in love with Joe, Faith was a real pretty bride.
00:12:14The only thing you were there the night she was born, I kind of hoped you'd be there tonight when I gave her away.
00:12:18Oh, I had a million things to do, Lou.
00:12:20I just hoped the kids would be happy.
00:12:22Oh, they're a cinch.
00:12:24You never saw two people better suited for each other, tops even mom and me.
00:12:29I know, but sometimes even the best things have a way of going sour.
00:12:33Joe, what's wrong?
00:12:36What makes you think there's something wrong?
00:12:38You can't fool me.
00:12:39Just the other day when I was in here with a peep about the branch store, you hardly even listened to me.
00:12:45You looked like you were a thousand miles away.
00:12:47Ever since then, you've been moping around like something was bothering you bad.
00:12:53You know, Lou, doing the right thing isn't the easiest thing in the world.
00:13:02You gotta look deep inside of you.
00:13:05Be real honest with yourself.
00:13:08Well, for the past few days, that's just what I've been doing.
00:13:12Looking down deep inside of me.
00:13:15Looking for the right answer, and I finally found it.
00:13:18Sounds like an important decision.
00:13:21It is.
00:13:24And a tough one, too.
00:13:25It'll probably change my whole life.
00:13:27Myra's two.
00:13:29Something wrong between you and Myra.
00:13:31Wrong.
00:13:33I don't think anything could be worse.
00:13:35Joe, believe me, every married couple has their ups and downs.
00:13:39Even mom and me have had some bad moments.
00:13:42But honest, if you just have patience, everything usually works out fine.
00:13:47Sometimes, Lou.
00:13:49Sometimes.
00:13:51Look, do me a favor.
00:13:53Will you mail us on your way home?
00:13:54Yeah, sure thing.
00:13:55Hello, Myra.
00:14:10Just wanted to make sure you were home.
00:14:12I'm gonna be home early.
00:14:14I've been thinking about something I want to talk to you about.
00:14:17I'll be there in about 15 or 20 minutes.
00:14:20Now, just remember, Joe, everything usually works out.
00:14:24Quit living in a dream world, Lou.
00:14:44Come and hear yourself.
00:14:47Come and hear yourself.
00:14:51Try haste o'clock, Lou.
00:14:53Come and hear yourself.
00:14:54You're not doing this
00:15:09in the world.
00:15:11¡Gracias!
00:15:41¡Gracias!
00:15:43¡Gracias!
00:15:49¡Gracias!
00:15:51¿Tenic?
00:15:52¿Body in there?
00:15:53¿Tienes para que el takeover?
00:15:55¡Sure! Chalk him off, dust the place good.
00:15:57¡McMillen's already photographed most of the road!
00:15:59¿What's it look like, Lieutenant?
00:16:01According to the lady, we got a breeze.
00:16:03She said she shot her husband in self-defense.
00:16:05¡How come everybody always shoots everybody off in self-defense?
00:16:09No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:16:39I couldn't imagine what was wrong.
00:16:42He just walked over and pulled me out of bed as if he was drunk or crazy or something.
00:16:49Threw me against the dresser.
00:16:52Said he was going to kill me.
00:16:55He started for me again.
00:16:57Then I opened the drawer and took out the gun and shot him.
00:17:03He just stood there and looked at me.
00:17:07Then he fell.
00:17:09It was terrible.
00:17:13It's going to be all right.
00:17:14You just rest there for a minute.
00:17:17All right, let's get off the phone.
00:17:18You know this place is off limits until the lab is through with it.
00:17:21We dust it before you, so we're going to...
00:17:23Right.
00:17:23And Ellen, I want those papers drawn up first thing in the morning.
00:17:27No, I'll be there before you.
00:17:28And when directly to the office and police headquarters.
00:17:31Sergeant, I want this section of the room covered from A to Z.
00:17:34Several shots of that night stand and this dresser here.
00:17:37Get in close.
00:17:38You know the kind of stuff I want.
00:17:39Well, cover the place right here.
00:17:41Planning on a big day in court?
00:17:42The guy's dead.
00:17:43That makes it a big day in court.
00:17:46Any reason to doubt it was self-defense?
00:17:48Not to hold her own suspicion of murder.
00:17:51Then it's up to you legal eagles to pick her apart.
00:17:54Oh, incidentally, if you want to talk to your client, have at it.
00:17:56Because I'm taking her downtown in about two minutes.
00:18:13I don't understand it.
00:18:15I don't understand it at all.
00:18:17What don't you understand?
00:18:19The police.
00:18:21All these questions.
00:18:23Those men in there taking pictures.
00:18:25Fingerprints.
00:18:27I'm afraid, Craig.
00:18:29Just routine, Myra.
00:18:35Nothing to be alarmed about.
00:18:37But Lieutenant Bradley's questions haven't been routine.
00:18:42They don't believe me, do they?
00:18:45Tell me the truth.
00:18:46Lieutenant Bradley plans to hold you on suspicion of murder.
00:18:54What am I going to do?
00:18:56How can I make them believe me?
00:18:59That'll be my job, darling.
00:19:02Why did he try to kill me?
00:19:05Why couldn't he understand?
00:19:09Myra.
00:19:10I loved Joe as much as anyone could.
00:19:17And I thought I knew him.
00:19:21But Joe's actions weren't caused by sudden anger.
00:19:25He had several days to think about what he was going to do.
00:19:30Had he been successful, it would have been premeditated murder.
00:19:33I'm afraid, Craig.
00:19:39Don't be.
00:19:42I know it's going to be difficult for you.
00:19:45Just remember.
00:19:47I love you.
00:19:54Of course I meant it.
00:19:56I still mean it.
00:19:58Moonlight was invented just for you.
00:20:00City desk.
00:20:06Frank, here's your lead line.
00:20:08District attorney asked for Myra Leeds' life.
00:20:10He says it'll prove she killed Joe Leeds in cold blood.
00:20:12I think we'd get a new twist to the story if we quoted Carlson.
00:20:15It claims it was an attack of violence, carefully staged and executed.
00:20:19I tell you, no other woman could interest me anymore.
00:20:22Yeah, it's going to be a beaut.
00:20:24This gal, good copy.
00:20:25If Willis was bugging anybody besides Carlson, I think this Leeds woman wouldn't have a prayer.
00:20:30Court's back in session.
00:20:31I'll call rewrite in time for the three-star edition.
00:20:33Frank.
00:20:40Oh, that was just the guys.
00:20:42Yeah, of course, back in session again.
00:20:45No, I don't have to be in there.
00:20:47You can't take pictures in the courtroom.
00:20:49You were the first officer to report at the scene of the murder.
00:20:52Yes, sir.
00:20:53My partner and I were cruising that area when we got the call.
00:20:57Would you please tell the jury exactly what you found?
00:20:59Well, Mrs. Leeds and Mr. Carlson were there when we arrived.
00:21:03Mr. Carlson said Mrs. Leeds had called him, and as soon as he got there, he called the police.
00:21:08Were there signs of struggle?
00:21:09No, sir.
00:21:11Mrs. Leeds wasn't marked or bruised in any way?
00:21:14Not that I could tell.
00:21:15Did you see anything about her clothing or her person or anything at all that indicated that there had been a struggle?
00:21:20No, sir.
00:21:22Thank you.
00:21:23That's all.
00:21:25Mr. Carlson?
00:21:26No questions.
00:21:29Sergeant Hill, you are connected with the crime lab.
00:21:31That's right.
00:21:33And did you note that it was raining the night of the murder?
00:21:35Yes, sir.
00:21:36Would you please tell the court how that affected your findings?
00:21:39May I have that picture, please?
00:21:40Yes.
00:21:45This dark spot was one of the first things we checked out, since water probably came from Joe Lee's clothing.
00:21:53From the way we can piece it together, he stood right there and didn't make a move until he fell from the shot.
00:22:01In other words, your deduction is that there could not have been a struggle.
00:22:05I object.
00:22:07This question calls for a conclusion of the witness.
00:22:11Sustained.
00:22:11Did you find any water spots anyplace else in the room?
00:22:19No, sir.
00:22:20Thank you.
00:22:32Sergeant Hill, what makes you so certain Joe Leeds did not move closer to Mrs. Leeds than the area of the water stay?
00:22:39To wet a wool rug through that way would require quite a concentration of water.
00:22:45That means the victim would have to stand the spell.
00:22:48But Mrs. Leeds said that he came right in and over to her.
00:22:50Just answer the question, Sergeant.
00:22:52The prosecuting attorney is well able to argue his case.
00:22:55Sorry.
00:22:58What about some of the other people in that room?
00:23:00They could have dripped water on that rug, could they not?
00:23:04We checked that out.
00:23:06The rain had stopped by the time the first police unit had arrived.
00:23:09But it hadn't stopped when I arrived.
00:23:12Couldn't I have stood in one spot long enough to dampen that rug?
00:23:15I guess you could have.
00:23:17Thank you, that's all.
00:23:18And then she stated that he knocked her against the dresser.
00:23:23It was then that she opened the drawer, took out the gun, and shot him.
00:23:27Mrs. Leeds said the gun was in the dresser drawer.
00:23:29Yes, sir.
00:23:30Did she point out where Mr. Leeds was at the time she shot him?
00:23:34She said that he was rushing toward her from where they had struggled beside the bed.
00:23:38Specifically, where by the bed?
00:23:40On the left side, where Mrs. Leeds was lying.
00:23:43Did your investigation bear to conclusion?
00:23:45No, sir.
00:23:46Please explain why.
00:23:47Bottles on the dresser.
00:23:49You know, perfume and delight.
00:23:51And had he knocked her against the dresser, well, surely some of these bottles would have been overturned.
00:24:00Lieutenant Bradley, is this one of the photographs you ordered taken?
00:24:06Yes, sir, it is.
00:24:08Now, do you see anything, anything at all disturbed on or about that dresser?
00:24:12No, sir.
00:24:13Nothing.
00:24:15Go on, Lieutenant.
00:24:19Well, according to Mrs. Leeds, the spot where Mr. Leeds was standing at the time she shot him was about ten feet from where he fell.
00:24:28Wasn't that possible?
00:24:29No, sir.
00:24:30According to the coroner's report, the victim was shot through the heart and died instantly.
00:24:35In other words, Joe Leeds would have had to walk ten feet after he was dead.
00:24:39That's about it, sir.
00:24:40You witness.
00:24:41Yes.
00:24:41Yes.
00:24:41Yes.
00:24:41Yes.
00:24:41Yes.
00:24:42Yes.
00:24:42Yes.
00:24:42Yes.
00:24:42Yes.
00:24:43Yes.
00:24:43Yes.
00:24:44Yes.
00:24:53Lieutenant Bradley, how many years have you been on the police force?
00:24:5822.
00:24:59Y durante ese momento, ¿ustedes decir que hubiera visto un número de personas sufrimos de hysteria?
00:25:05I'd say so, yes.
00:25:08¿Y qué hubiera sido los primeros signos de hysteria?
00:25:12Oh, incoherencia,
00:25:16unable a hacer una decisión,
00:25:19un saludo en común.
00:25:22¿Y hubiera sido posible que una mujer que ha matado a un hombre
00:25:26a estar sufrimos de hysteria?
00:25:27¿Por qué?
00:25:29¿Y que sería posible?
00:25:31¿Y no hubiera sido posible que esta mujer a mistakele a la izquierda a la derecha?
00:25:36¿O no hubiera sido posible que una mujer a la derecha?
00:25:40¿Era algo incorrecto?
00:25:41¿Y no hubiera sido posible que una mujer a esta situación de hysteria
00:25:46para pensar que era una persona en un hombre a un hombre a más de las tres
00:25:48cuando, en realidad, se fue a la izquierda a la derecha?
00:25:51Pues, se podría, pero...
00:25:52Eso es todo, gracias.

00:26:57He'll save his big ammunition for later.
00:27:00What can we do then?
00:27:02Oh, I've had several talks with Lou.
00:27:04He's very anxious to help you.
00:27:05I'm sure his evidence will add a lot of weight.
00:27:07And I think I'm going to let you testify, too.
00:27:11All right.
00:27:13Remember, once you're on the stand,
00:27:14Willis will try to cut you to ribbons.
00:27:16I'm not afraid of Willis or the judge or the jurors.
00:27:19All I'm afraid of is if things go wrong, I'd lose you.
00:27:23Not a chance.
00:27:27Oh, Craig.
00:27:29Beautiful.
00:27:33Well, I says, Joe, is there something wrong between you and Myra?
00:27:36He said, I don't see how anything could be worse.
00:27:38Had you ever seen Joe Leeds before when he was quite angry?
00:27:45Yeah, a couple of times.
00:27:47Matter of fact, he was quite upset the first time I ever saw him.
00:27:50Somebody had accused him of giving a dishonest comp,
00:27:53tried to get him in trouble with the police.
00:27:56Well, Joe hurt him pretty bad.
00:27:57Then, Joe Leeds did have a bad temper when he was upset.
00:28:04Yeah, but that wasn't often.
00:28:09Mr. Kazarian,
00:28:11the night of Joe Leeds' death,
00:28:15did he seem normal to you or upset to you?
00:28:20Well, he was upset.
00:28:21He said he'd been doing a lot of thinking and had reached a big decision.
00:28:24Did he tell you what that decision was?
00:28:29No, except that what he had decided would change his whole life and Myra's, too.
00:28:35That will be all, thank you.
00:28:37Darian, we come to that phone conversation Joe Leeds had with his wife.
00:28:40Tell us exactly what you overheard.
00:28:43Well, that was a long time ago.
00:28:45Just tell us those things you can remember.
00:28:49Well, I remember him saying for her to stay home,
00:28:51he'd been doing a lot of thinking, wanted to talk it over with her,
00:28:55and I guess that's about all that happened.
00:28:59In other words, it was Joe Leeds who definitely had something to talk out with his wife.
00:29:03That's the way it sounded.
00:29:06Now, Mr. Kazarian,
00:29:07the defense counsel has spoken much about Joe Leeds' temper.
00:29:13You say you were present when Joe Leeds beat up a man who falsely accused him.
00:29:17Now, would you say that Joe Leeds was quite angry then?
00:29:22Oh, the worst I've ever seen him.
00:29:24But this fellow had it coming to him.
00:29:26He was always sniping at Joe.
00:29:28And if Joe Leeds was more angry on that occasion than you ever saw him,
00:29:32why didn't he kill the man?
00:29:34Did someone stop the fight?
00:29:36Oh, no.
00:29:36We were all glad to see him get it.
00:29:39Anyway, we knew all Joe had in mind was to rough him up.
00:29:42He sure did a good job.
00:29:44And if Joe Leeds was more angered than you had ever seen him,
00:29:47you claim he had no intention of killing.
00:29:50Now, can you say on the oath that you've taken
00:29:52that he was angered enough to kill his wife?
00:29:57No, I guess not.
00:29:59Thank you, Mr. Kazarian.
00:30:00And do you recall any instance, Mrs. Leeds,
00:30:11where your husband displayed a violent temper?
00:30:15Yes.
00:30:16There was the time just before we were married.
00:30:19Joe had an argument with one of his employees.
00:30:22The two men fought.
00:30:24Joe beat him so brutally,
00:30:26the other man had to spend the next two months in the hospital.
00:30:28And were there times after your marriage
00:30:31when your husband showed a tendency toward violence?
00:30:35Several.
00:30:36Whenever anything annoyed him, edgy,
00:30:39if someone said something that displeased him,
00:30:42he flew into a temper.
00:30:44We argued often because of this.
00:30:47Then that night when he came home, wet,
00:30:50blind with fury,
00:30:52you had good reason to think he would kill you.
00:30:55You had good reason to think that Joe Leeds was a man of violence.
00:30:59That is what you believed, is it not, Mrs. Leeds?
00:31:02Yes.
00:31:05Do you think any other woman would have reacted as you did?
00:31:08I know they would.
00:31:10No one wants to kill,
00:31:12but no one wants to be killed either.
00:31:15Your witness.
00:31:16Yes.
00:31:26Mrs. Leeds,
00:31:27how long had you and your husband been married?
00:31:30Two years.
00:31:32And when you married your husband,
00:31:33what was your financial condition?
00:31:35I don't understand.
00:31:37Oh, I'm sorry.
00:31:37I mean, were you rich, moderately wealthy,
00:31:41had a good job?
00:31:42What?
00:31:42Well, I,
00:31:43I was looking for a job
00:31:45when I met Joe Leeds.
00:31:49And would you say your husband was a man of means?
00:31:51I mean, did he have some property,
00:31:52some insurance perhaps?
00:31:54He had ten supermarkets,
00:31:57some insurance.
00:31:58How much would you say your husband was worth
00:32:00at the time of his death,
00:32:01that is, including insurance?
00:32:04I don't know.
00:32:06Then let me tell you.
00:32:08Your husband, Mrs. Leeds,
00:32:09left an estate of more than three quarters of a million dollars.
00:32:13That's quite an inheritance for you.
00:32:16From unemployment to a neat $750,000 in two years.
00:32:21Wouldn't you say that was a very lucrative two years' work,
00:32:25Mrs. Leeds?
00:32:26Objection!
00:32:28The prosecution will refrain from any more questions of this nature.
00:32:32That last statement will be stricken from the record,
00:32:34and the jury is asked to disregard it.
00:32:37Mrs. Leeds,
00:32:37when you married your husband,
00:32:38were you in love with him?
00:32:40Of course.
00:32:40Were you in love with your husband at the time of his death?
00:32:44No.
00:32:45Then unless in two years you no longer loved him.
00:32:49Love is a very strong emotion, Mrs. Leeds.
00:32:51How could you turn it off so quickly?
00:32:55I just didn't love him anymore.
00:32:57And you waited until that fatal night to tell him about it?
00:33:00That's not true.
00:33:02Then when did you tell your husband
00:33:03you were no longer in love with him?
00:33:04I don't remember.
00:33:09Did you ask your husband for a divorce?
00:33:13Yes.
00:33:14And what was Mr. Leeds' answer?
00:33:16He just said he wanted to think about it.
00:33:19In other words, Mrs. Leeds,
00:33:19when you suddenly told your husband you wanted a divorce,
00:33:22instead of becoming angry,
00:33:23he answered he wanted to think about it.
00:33:25Now, is that correct?
00:33:26Yes.
00:33:27And yet you ask this court to believe
00:33:29that Mr. Leeds returned home on that fatal evening
00:33:31and without so much as a single word
00:33:33tried to kill you?
00:33:34Yes.
00:33:36Then tell us, Mrs. Leeds,
00:33:36how do you explain the fact that when you first,
00:33:38shall we say,
00:33:39shocked your husband by asking him for a divorce,
00:33:42he did nothing?
00:33:42I don't know.
00:33:47I don't know.
00:33:53That will be all, Mrs. Leeds.
00:34:04Myra Leeds would have us believe
00:34:06that when her husband reached their apartment,
00:34:08he immediately made an attempt to kill her
00:34:10so that she had to kill in self-defense.
00:34:13But what concrete reasons have you been given
00:34:15that Mrs. Leeds felt she was forced to shoot her husband,
00:34:19only that he became furious
00:34:20when she told him she no longer loved him,
00:34:23that she wanted a divorce?
00:34:25And why did Myra Leeds claim
00:34:26to want a divorce in the first place?
00:34:28Just that they were no longer in love.
00:34:31And yet, not one single witness
00:34:33has been brought before this court
00:34:34to indicate that any discord existed between the Leeds.
00:34:38Let me tell you, ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
00:34:40there was no discord in the marriage of Joe Leeds,
00:34:45only in that of his wife, Myra,
00:34:47an ambitious woman.
00:34:49Marriage had bettered her position.
00:34:52And with Joe Leeds' death,
00:34:53her position was still improved.
00:34:54The location of the body,
00:34:59the placement and trajectory of the bullet that killed Leeds,
00:35:02the lack of signs of a struggle,
00:35:04all of these facts,
00:35:06facts,
00:35:08fitted against Myra Leeds' story of self-defense.
00:35:11Could there be an honest doubt in your minds
00:35:16as to the guilt of this woman?
00:35:18Well, if there is, let me dispel them for you.
00:35:21Myra Leeds has given no reason
00:35:23why she would have wanted to divorce Joe Leeds,
00:35:25except that she fell out of love.
00:35:28Now,
00:35:29is love such a fickle thing
00:35:31that one can fall in love one week
00:35:33and out the next?
00:35:34With no apparent reason,
00:35:37could Myra Leeds have awakened one morning
00:35:39and decided to ask her husband of two years
00:35:42for a divorce?
00:35:43No.
00:35:45Let me tell you what Myra Leeds did.
00:35:48She was jobless when she met Joe Leeds.
00:35:50She saw in him a stepping stone to an easy life.
00:35:53When she was ready to move on,
00:35:55she realized that Joe Leeds
00:35:57could only be of monetary value to her dead.
00:36:01So that when he came home to discuss
00:36:03whatever it was he wished to discuss,
00:36:05she shot him.
00:36:09Myra Leeds shot and killed her husband
00:36:11for a handful of gold.
00:36:14That is why the state charges Myra Leeds
00:36:16with murder in the first degree.
00:36:21Is counsel for the defense
00:36:22ready to address the jury?
00:36:24I am, Your Honor.
00:36:33This has been a long and grueling trial,
00:36:37not only for the defendant,
00:36:39but for the rest of us as well.
00:36:41You have heard arguments and counter-arguments,
00:36:45facts and counter-fact,
00:36:46theory and counter-theory.
00:36:48And for the past hour and 15 minutes,
00:36:50you've heard the prosecution parade before you
00:36:52every piece of circumstantial evidence,
00:36:55innuendo,
00:36:56and plain conjecture that he could muster.
00:36:58Conjecture that would bolster his claim
00:37:01that Myra Leeds is guilty of murdering her husband.
00:37:06With all of this conjecture,
00:37:08the end result has been this.
00:37:10The state claims Myra Leeds killed Joe Leeds
00:37:14because her story about the moments of violence
00:37:16she was faced with differed from that of the police.
00:37:19And because she could give no clear reason
00:37:22why she suddenly would want to divorce her husband.
00:37:24If Myra Leeds had a sound reason
00:37:28for suddenly desiring a divorce,
00:37:30a reason that would measurably add to her happiness,
00:37:34even the prosecution knows it would have no case.
00:37:39Well, Myra Leeds did have a reason
00:37:41for asking Joe Leeds for a divorce.
00:37:44Myra Leeds was in love with another man.
00:37:46All right.
00:37:49All right.
00:37:51All right.
00:37:52All right.
00:37:52All right.
00:37:52All right.
00:37:52All right.
00:37:53All right.
00:37:54Now, remember,
00:38:01you of the jury are not here to determine
00:38:03the righteousness of Myra Leeds' emotions as a woman,
00:38:06only to determine if she shot her husband
00:38:09in an act of premeditation.
00:38:12It is not for you to decide
00:38:14whether or not Myra Leeds did the right thing
00:38:17in falling in love with another man.
00:38:19It is for you to decide
00:38:21if in telling her husband about the man she loved,
00:38:24she aroused in him an anger so intense
00:38:27he decided to kill her.
00:38:29So now you ask,
00:38:32who is this man?
00:38:34Bring him forward to confirm this story.
00:38:38Well, I knew Joe Leeds better than anyone.
00:38:41And I know the man his wife is in love with.
00:38:45I am that man.
00:38:49Any further demonstration of this character in this courtroom will be clear.
00:39:02My falling in love with Myra Leeds was accidental.
00:39:10Accidental.
00:39:11But my wanting to marry her was with strong intent.
00:39:17As was Joe Leeds' intent when he decided if he could no longer have his wife,
00:39:23no other man would either.
00:39:25Ladies and gentlemen,
00:39:27there isn't a single one of you who wouldn't have struggled as Myra Leeds did.
00:39:31Her life was at stake.
00:39:33She acted in self-defense.
00:39:38Now, that is the story.
00:39:41And that is the truth.
00:39:45To bring out the truth,
00:39:46your verdict must be
00:39:47not guilty.
00:39:49She beat it.
00:39:53Not guilty.
00:39:54The one gallery cheered you'd fought Navy.
00:39:55Just made a touchdown.
00:39:56Carlson.
00:39:57Cool as winter.
00:39:59Didn't move a muscle when the jury foreman sang out.
00:40:02There's no doubt about it.
00:40:03That guy's the biggest incentive murder's had
00:40:05since the Chinese invented gunpowder.
00:40:19I wish you happiness.
00:40:25Thanks.
00:40:28Take this up on the way back from court today.
00:40:30What is it?
00:40:33Capri.
00:40:35As ancient and enchanting as the Mediterranean would surround it.
00:40:39It may not be the world's greatest prose,
00:40:41but it sounded good to me.
00:40:43It must be love.
00:40:45I thought we could be married next week,
00:40:47take the boat to Rome,
00:40:48then ride to Capri.
00:40:50Oh, darling,
00:40:51it'll be a wonderful honeymoon.
00:40:53It sounds wonderful,
00:40:54but do you know next week is almost here?
00:40:57Give me a little bit more time.
00:40:58The sooner we get away,
00:41:00the better it'll be for you.
00:41:02From now on,
00:41:03you're not going to have any reason
00:41:04to think of anything up with me.
00:41:12Oh, hi, Lou.
00:41:14We'd about given you up.
00:41:15I'm sorry I'm late,
00:41:16but Mom wasn't feeling well,
00:41:17and last minute,
00:41:18she decided to stay home.
00:41:20Oh, that's too bad.
00:41:21Well, let me hang up to the coach.
00:41:22Oh, thanks.
00:41:23And Myra,
00:41:25I'm awfully glad everything turned out okay.
00:41:27Thank you.
00:41:30Hey.
00:41:31This is supposed to be a happy occasion.
00:41:33Could I talk to you alone for a minute, Greg?
00:41:36Something wrong?
00:41:38It's about Joe.
00:41:41Sure, let's go into the dance.
00:41:42Hiya, Will.
00:41:46How are you, Lou?
00:41:47Hello, Henry.
00:41:48Good to see you, Lou.
00:41:58What is it, Lou?
00:41:59It's about Joe.
00:42:00And the last night he was alive,
00:42:01that is the night my daughter was married
00:42:02and I dropped by to tell him about the wedding.
00:42:05Well, just before I left,
00:42:06he asked me to mail a letter for him.
00:42:08I put it in my pocket and, well,
00:42:11I forgot all about it
00:42:12until I put my tux on again
00:42:13that tonight it's addressed to you.
00:42:16Well, like I promised,
00:42:30I've been doing a lot of thinking.
00:42:32I've been trying to figure out
00:42:33the best way for all of us.
00:42:36You see, when I first met Myra,
00:42:38I figured she was out of my league.
00:42:41She was interested in things
00:42:42that I didn't understand,
00:42:43like art and music.
00:42:46But then, like a boat one night,
00:42:48she told me she loved me
00:42:49and I felt nine feet tall.
00:42:52Right then, I said a million thanks
00:42:54in a way that was like the answer to a prayer.
00:42:58We got married right away
00:42:59and for a couple of months,
00:43:01living was paradise.
00:43:03I didn't love her.
00:43:04I worshipped her.
00:43:06Then it began to change.
00:43:09One day, we had an argument.
00:43:11Myra told me she'd never loved me.
00:43:13It goes without saying, Craig,
00:43:16that I walked in circles for days.
00:43:19Finally, I asked if she wanted a divorce
00:43:21and she said yes
00:43:22and asked for half my business.
00:43:26I got mad because I realized
00:43:28that was the only reason
00:43:29she'd ever married me.
00:43:31I told her that no man
00:43:32was going to live off
00:43:33what it had taken me most to accumulate.
00:43:35And that's the way it's been going along
00:43:38for the past few months.
00:43:40Myra's in love, Fred,
00:43:42but not with you.
00:43:45She's in love with some kind of an artist.
00:43:47I can't figure out
00:43:59what she's doing with you,
00:44:00but I know she must have
00:44:01some kind of a plan.
00:44:03I'm going to see her tonight.
00:44:05I'm going to try to keep her.
00:44:07She's no good, Craig,
00:44:08but I do love her.
00:44:10If she decides not to stay with me,
00:44:12I wanted you to know the truth.
00:44:14She isn't a woman.
00:44:18Myra's a disease.
00:44:20In a way, she's already destroyed me.
00:44:23I just hope she doesn't end up
00:44:26destroying you.
00:44:44Did I cause trouble
00:45:01by forgetting about the letter?
00:45:07I don't know, Lou.
00:45:08I don't know.
00:45:17Give me a couple of these.
00:45:18Keep it around with you.
00:45:19I never wanted to hurt Jim.
00:45:22I didn't think I could possibly
00:45:23fall in love with anyone else.
00:45:26But I have.
00:45:27Why did he try to kill me?
00:45:30Why couldn't he understand?
00:45:32I'm not afraid of women
00:45:34or the judge or the jurors.
00:45:35Well, I'm afraid of women.
00:45:37If things go wrong,
00:45:38I'd lose you.
00:45:40Myra Leeds shot
00:45:41and killed her husband
00:45:42for a handful of gold.
00:45:45That is why the state charges
00:45:46Myra Leeds
00:45:47with murder in the first degree.
00:45:50Carl will keep an artist
00:45:52and old friend.
00:45:53Wondered if there was anything
00:45:53he could do.
00:45:54Mr. Holt?
00:46:09Yes.
00:46:11My name's...
00:46:11I know.
00:46:13Frank Carlson.
00:46:13Won't you come in?
00:46:18I have to forgive the appearance
00:46:20of the place.
00:46:20My, uh, canvases have a way
00:46:23of dominating the whole room.
00:46:26Not bad canvases either.
00:46:28Oh, that one.
00:46:29Yeah, even I like that one.
00:46:31Won't you, uh, sit down, Carlson?
00:46:32I'm, I'm, I'm a great friend.
00:46:34Because of Myra's acquittal?
00:46:36No.
00:46:37It was that way before that.
00:46:39You see,
00:46:40this is a pretty strange neighborhood.
00:46:42You know what they call it?
00:46:43Cloud Nine.
00:46:45I guess that's because a lot of men
00:46:46are just getting started
00:46:47living around here.
00:46:47You have a lot of dreams,
00:46:50a lot of idols, you know?
00:46:52Now, you take the fellow
00:46:53who lives just, uh,
00:46:54two doors down.
00:46:54He just got out of law school.
00:46:56He thinks you walk
00:46:56right down out of the sun.
00:46:59Take some of the cases
00:47:00that you've turned down.
00:47:01According to Charlie,
00:47:02if you didn't care
00:47:03who you got acquitted,
00:47:04you could be living
00:47:04like a Maharaja.
00:47:05No, he must be
00:47:06just out of law school.
00:47:07Oh, he's got a lot
00:47:08of other legal idols, too.
00:47:10But for me,
00:47:11you're my favorite.
00:47:12Ever since you took
00:47:13Myra's case.
00:47:15You've known Myra
00:47:16a long time.
00:47:17Since we were freshmen
00:47:18in college.
00:47:20Myra was a music major
00:47:22and I was knee-deep in art.
00:47:24Did you ever hear Myra play?
00:47:25Yes.
00:47:26Plays like an angel.
00:47:28Of course, in my book,
00:47:28Myra is an angel.
00:47:31Well, I guess she's told you
00:47:32how I feel about her.
00:47:33No, she hasn't.
00:47:35Well, it's nothing earth-shattering
00:47:36for anybody except us.
00:47:39I have to be very much
00:47:40in love with her.
00:47:41I'm going to be married.
00:47:43When was that decided?
00:47:49Two years after we left college.
00:47:54The strange engagement?
00:47:56The marriage in between?
00:47:59Well, that was Myra's
00:48:00one big mistake.
00:48:01We both knew that shortly
00:48:02after she married that fellow.
00:48:04You don't mind if I work
00:48:05while we talk, do you?
00:48:06I want to make the most
00:48:07of the sunlight.
00:48:08Go right ahead.
00:48:08You say, Myra knew
00:48:15she made a mistake
00:48:16when she married Jolie?
00:48:19People chase different rainbows,
00:48:21Mr. Carlson.
00:48:22For Myra, it was money.
00:48:24I didn't have any.
00:48:26My prospects were terrible.
00:48:28Terrible!
00:48:30Well, we had a scrap
00:48:32on that subject
00:48:32and then she met
00:48:33this Leeds fellow.
00:48:34You know the rest of the story?
00:48:35No, not the point
00:48:36about her knowing
00:48:37she'd made a mistake.
00:48:40That was when we, uh,
00:48:42met at that exhibit
00:48:43that afternoon.
00:48:45Potter was still dry.
00:48:48At this juncture,
00:48:49I'd like to make
00:48:50a point of honor,
00:48:51Mr. Carlson.
00:48:51I refused to see Myra
00:48:53again after that afternoon
00:48:54until she was free.
00:48:56She felt the same way
00:48:56about it.
00:48:58Quite an impact, wasn't it?
00:48:59We didn't think so.
00:49:01I was going to ask
00:49:02Leeds for a divorce.
00:49:05I guess she went sort of crazy.
00:49:07That awful night
00:49:08was the capper.
00:49:11You know, Holt,
00:49:13you've been a lot
00:49:14working against you.
00:49:15In spite of that,
00:49:16I still may get to lack you.
00:49:18Well, I want you to,
00:49:19but what have I got
00:49:20working against me?
00:49:21Myra's trial.
00:49:23Why didn't you offer
00:49:23to help?
00:49:25I did.
00:49:26That day I visited Myra.
00:49:29She didn't want me
00:49:30to come to see her again,
00:49:30though,
00:49:31or even say I knew her.
00:49:33Funny,
00:49:33I couldn't quite
00:49:33figure that out.
00:49:34I guess it was because
00:49:37she was afraid
00:49:38our being in love
00:49:39would sway the jury
00:49:40against her
00:49:40since she was
00:49:40a married woman.
00:49:43Funny,
00:49:43it was the very approach
00:49:44that freed her.
00:49:46That's what makes
00:49:47a lawyer a lawyer.
00:49:48You're just plain smart.
00:49:49Not always.
00:49:51Well, now,
00:49:51I watched that trial
00:49:52every single day,
00:49:53and you never drew a miss.
00:49:57By the way,
00:49:58I would like a crack
00:49:59at improving
00:49:59your impression of me.
00:50:00You got any ideas?
00:50:01Oh, my first sense
00:50:02was right.
00:50:03I do like it.
00:50:05Well, let's be
00:50:06really classical
00:50:06about this friendship,
00:50:07then,
00:50:07and toast it and sherry.
00:50:09Fling the glass
00:50:09in the fireplace.
00:50:10I'm sorry,
00:50:11but I'd better go.
00:50:12Oh, too bad.
00:50:14But as far as
00:50:14the toast is concerned,
00:50:15it's just as well.
00:50:16I haven't got any fireplace.
00:50:17I will see you again,
00:50:18though,
00:50:18when I see you.
00:50:19Yes, you will.
00:50:20You know,
00:50:21that last day
00:50:22of the trial,
00:50:23when you said
00:50:23you were the man
00:50:23in Myra's life,
00:50:25I didn't think
00:50:25so kindly of you then.
00:50:27I'm glad Myra
00:50:27straightened me out on it.
00:50:28Oh?
00:50:29What did she say?
00:50:31Well, that it was
00:50:31a piece of work
00:50:32I'm dreaded.
00:50:33Well, it sure was a beaut.
00:50:33That was the best piece
00:50:34of dramatics I've ever seen.
00:50:36Myra and I really owe you
00:50:37an awful lot
00:50:37throwing out an alarm like that.
00:50:40Well,
00:50:41goodbye, Mr. Holt.
00:50:42Goodbye, Mr. Garthlin.
00:51:01Charlie, I was expecting you.
00:51:10Be ready in three minutes.
00:51:11In the meantime,
00:51:12how about making
00:51:13one of your
00:51:13very special manhattens?
00:51:15I'm not quite sure
00:51:16I know how to make
00:51:17a manhattens.
00:51:19Craig!
00:51:22You startled me.
00:51:23I was expecting a friend.
00:51:25Who knows how to
00:51:26special manhattens?
00:51:28That's right.
00:51:31If you like, I can...
00:51:32No, thanks.
00:51:33I just wanted to talk
00:51:35to you, Myra,
00:51:35about our engagement.
00:51:39Let's not make it tonight, Craig.
00:51:41Why not tonight?
00:51:42Why not this very minute?
00:51:44Two people in love
00:51:44can't wait, Myra.
00:51:46That's the way
00:51:46with people in love,
00:51:47isn't it?
00:51:48I explained, Craig.
00:51:49Someone...
00:51:50Well, isn't it?
00:51:50Don't say it, Myra.
00:51:54Say you love me.
00:51:55Say you're hopelessly,
00:51:56irretrievably in love with me.
00:51:57Let go of me.
00:51:58I want to hear you say it, Myra.
00:52:01I'm all you have.
00:52:03Or have you suddenly remembered
00:52:04there was someone else?
00:52:06I said let go of me.
00:52:07Someone like Carl Holt.
00:52:10All right.
00:52:12You know.
00:52:20I met him today.
00:52:25He seems very much in love.
00:52:28Two men in love with you.
00:52:32Awkward arrangement, Myra.
00:52:34Craig.
00:52:35What happened to us?
00:52:38It was a mistake.
00:52:41I don't think so.
00:52:43In fact, I don't think
00:52:44you ever made a mistake
00:52:44before in your life.
00:52:46I don't want to see him, Craig.
00:52:47Neither do I.
00:52:48Just the truth.
00:52:49The truth is,
00:52:49I am in love with Carl Holt.
00:52:51And I'm going to marry him.
00:52:53And you were in love
00:52:54with Carl Holt
00:52:54and you were going to marry him
00:52:55the day I met you.
00:52:56I don't want to talk about it.
00:52:58Then let's have someone
00:53:00talk about it for us.
00:53:03I received this letter yesterday.
00:53:05It's from Joe.
00:53:07What kind of a trick is this?
00:53:09Sit down, Myra.
00:53:12Sit down.
00:53:19Good night.
00:53:21Dear Craig.
00:53:22Dear Craig,
00:53:24like I promised,
00:53:25I've been doing
00:53:25a lot of thinking.
00:53:27I've been trying to figure out
00:53:29the best way for all of us.
00:53:31You see, when I first met Myra,
00:53:32I figured she was out of my league.
00:53:35She was interested in things
00:53:36I didn't understand,
00:53:37like art and music.
00:53:38Myra's in love, Craig,
00:53:39but not with you.
00:53:41She's in love
00:53:42with some kind of an artist.
00:53:43No, I can't figure out what she's doing to you,
00:53:46but I know she must have some kind of a plan.
00:53:49I'm going to see her tonight,
00:53:50and I'm going to try and keep her.
00:53:52She's no good, Craig,
00:53:54but I do love her.
00:53:55And if she decides not to stay with me,
00:53:57I wanted you to know the truth.
00:53:59If she isn't a woman, Myra's a disease.
00:54:02The way she's already destroyed me,
00:54:04I just hope she doesn't end up destroying you.
00:54:07Joe.
00:54:08I don't believe Joe wrote that letter.
00:54:10You should be able to recognize his writing.
00:54:20What has it proved?
00:54:23Only that Joe was a miserable, jealous man?
00:54:25No, Myra. It proves something much different.
00:54:28Joe offered you a divorce, but without any money.
00:54:31You didn't want it that way, and you knew there was only one way to get it.
00:54:34You'll have to do more than say it. You'll have to prove it.
00:54:38I'm free now.
00:54:39I can do what I want with my life.
00:54:42You had it planned very carefully, didn't you, Myra?
00:54:46To get Joe's money, you had to kill him.
00:54:48To guarantee your freedom, you made me fall in love with you.
00:54:52I wonder if Carl Holt would want a murderess for a wife.
00:54:55I was tried and acquitted. Your brilliant defense freed me.
00:55:00No one can hurt me anymore.
00:55:02Not even you.
00:55:04This time you're wrong, Myra. Very wrong.
00:55:06What do you mean, this time?
00:55:08You're going to commit another murder.
00:55:10You're going to commit another murder.
00:55:11Don't be ridiculous.
00:55:13Yes, you are.
00:55:14You're going to murder me.
00:55:17No one wants to die. Not even you.
00:55:28My whole life has meant just three things.
00:55:33My love for Joe, my work, and my love for you.
00:55:43You've destroyed them all.
00:55:44How much is there left of me to die?
00:55:46Well, there it was, Ray.
00:56:03An ugly little package.
00:56:06Myra had killed Joe Leeds, and I was an excessor.
00:56:09Joe Leeds was dead, and Myra had to pay you, just as I'm going to pay you.
00:56:24There's not much time left, so I'd better bring you up to date.
00:56:27I had made plans to give up my practice, and was spending every available moment keeping Myra constantly aware that, sooner or later, I proved to Carl Holt she was a murderer.
00:56:39Then I learned that Myra and Carl were planning to leave for Europe.
00:56:52Ray, good to see you again.
00:56:54Well, come on in.
00:56:57Hey, we were just about to have a drink.
00:56:59Join us?
00:57:00Oh, no, thanks.
00:57:02Well, what a pleasant surprise.
00:57:05Are you sure you're surprised, Ray?
00:57:07What do you mean by that?
00:57:08Oh, just a private little joke.
00:57:11Myra is certain attorneys know what people are going to do before they do it.
00:57:14In some cases, I'd say she was right.
00:57:16Enough talk about lawyers.
00:57:18I've got news for you.
00:57:19Oh.
00:57:21Will you tell them that?
00:57:22No, I don't think you'd be interested.
00:57:24Of course I'd be interested.
00:57:26We're going to get married?
00:57:28No.
00:57:29Surprised again, Craig?
00:57:30We're sailing for Paris on Friday.
00:57:32We're going to be married as soon as we get there, and it was all Myra's idea.
00:57:35She wants to live there.
00:57:36In a way, I'm sorry.
00:57:39Sorry.
00:57:40For what?
00:57:41Well, this wasn't exactly a social visit.
00:57:43I came up with permission to paint him.
00:57:45Painting?
00:57:45For whom?
00:57:46Myself.
00:57:47I know this is going to sound a little vain, but I've always wanted a port.
00:57:51You know, something very flattering.
00:57:54Oh, it's a shame you didn't mention it before.
00:57:56We sail on Friday.
00:57:57Well, how long does it take to do it for you?
00:58:00Well, it varies.
00:58:01I usually like two, three weeks.
00:58:04Well, couldn't you put your trip off for that length of time?
00:58:07No.
00:58:09I like your work, Carl.
00:58:10I'd be willing to pay as much as, you know, $2,500.
00:58:15Hey, I'm not a whistler, you know.
00:58:17What about it?
00:58:18$2,500 for those two weeks.
00:58:20We don't need money.
00:58:22We have plenty.
00:58:23Now, hold on, honey.
00:58:24I mean, you have plenty.
00:58:26Well, you're my husband.
00:58:28What I have belongs to you.
00:58:32Well, I am afraid where money is concerned, I'm going to be a little old-fashioned.
00:58:37I'll do it.
00:58:39When can you make the sitting?
00:58:40What about tomorrow?
00:58:42That's fine.
00:58:42Between three and five, that's where my life's been.
00:58:44Good.
00:58:45I'll be here.
00:58:45Two weeks.
00:58:47Give us a chance to get very well acquainted.
00:58:49I'm looking forward to it.
00:58:50So am I.
00:58:52No, Myra.
00:58:53It seems as if you're one weakness in picking men with moral strength.
00:58:56Well, I'll see you tomorrow.
00:58:59Come on, Craig.
00:59:07I expected you, but not quite as soon.
00:59:13Leave us alone, Craig.
00:59:14Don't push me too far.
00:59:16Is that all you came here for?
00:59:18I came to offer you $100,000.
00:59:22Will you take it?
00:59:24Let him go to Paris?
00:59:26No.
00:59:27$125,000.
00:59:28Not for all the money in the world.
00:59:30I need those two weeks.
00:59:32I need the time to finish what I've started.
00:59:34I promise you, Myra, you're not going to have Carl Holtz or Joe Lee's money.
00:59:39I never realized how much I could hate a man until now.
00:59:44But it's not enough to kill me.
00:59:46Not yet.
00:59:47What kind of a man, Lord?
00:59:48One who believes in the honesty and integrity of our court.
00:59:52But that's something you would never be able to understand.
00:59:54I understand what you're trying to do to me.
00:59:57Do you really?
00:59:58Do you understand what you did to me when I learned you killed Joe?
01:00:01Do you understand in winning you an acquittal, I became as guilty as you?
01:00:05I want you to understand, Myra.
01:00:07I want you to fully understand that we'll have to pay for what we've done.
01:00:11I'm not going to pay for anything.
01:00:17You pay, Myra.
01:00:20We'll both pay.
01:00:23That's it.
01:00:24Better or for worse, let's finish it.
01:00:38It's excellent.
01:00:39It's been a very patient subject.
01:00:43Oh, don't forget tonight.
01:00:46I'll be on room about seven.
01:00:50Craig.
01:00:50A few times you've seen Myra here.
01:00:56I know it's how nervous and jumpy she seems.
01:01:00The trial was very taxing for her, and I guess she's anxious to get to Europe.
01:01:06Most natural reactions.
01:01:08I don't think you should have any worries about her.
01:01:12I guess nothing.
01:01:14Maybe your party will be just a prescription that will snap her out of her.
01:01:17By the way, what are we celebrating?
01:01:20We'll find out in exactly three hours.
01:01:23Okay, man of mystery.
01:01:25I will not press you for an answer.
01:01:27I'll stay on tender.
01:01:29I'll see you at death.
01:01:30Right.
01:01:30You wish to order now, sir?
01:01:47No, we have another party coming along.
01:01:49Thank you.
01:01:51Why didn't you tell me, Craig?
01:01:52It's coming, Carl.
01:01:53What's the matter, Myra?
01:01:54There's so much to do.
01:01:56It's a sale day after tomorrow.
01:01:58You think you're the only one who's busy?
01:02:00Move over.
01:02:01I haven't even packed yet.
01:02:02I'll tell you what, Carl.
01:02:08Let's leave.
01:02:09Leave?
01:02:09Leave.
01:02:22I'll tell you what, Carl.
01:02:24Let's leave.
01:02:25Leave?
01:02:25We could give a message to the Captain.
01:02:27Have him tell Craig that something had come up.
01:02:29We can't do that.
01:02:30I know that Craig's been counting on us.
01:02:31He's looking forward to it.
01:02:33What's so important about it?
01:02:34Vamos a hablar sobre eso después de la cena, Maira.
01:02:38Hola, Charles.
01:02:39Buenas tardes, Carlson.
01:02:40Gracias, Craig.
01:02:46Para el deserto, me recomiendo Churri Jubilee.
01:02:49Es excelente.
01:02:50No, no, gracias.
01:02:51¿Cómo de ti, Maira?
01:02:54Creo que eso es todo, Charles.
01:02:57Bueno, Craig, eso fue una cena muy buena.
01:02:59French comida no es mejor.
01:03:01Maira, ¿y du enjoy your dinner?
01:03:04You told us you would tell us what this was all about after dinner, Craig.
01:03:07Herrera.
01:03:08No, it's all right.
01:03:09She's just anxious.
01:03:10What do you mean, anxious?
01:03:11A trip to Paris, and she's about to become a bride?
01:03:15Craig, I want to know why you brought us here.
01:03:19All right.
01:03:28Here you are, Carl.
01:03:31No, no, no, no, no.
01:04:01Pain it continues to please you, Frank.
01:04:04I'm certain it will.
01:04:07You see, to me the portrait reflected not only a friendship,
01:04:15but a great understanding you felt for the subject.
01:04:19I hope you're never disappointed.
01:04:22Well, I must run.
01:04:23I have a lot of work to do at the house.
01:04:26You got that one important case you mentioned?
01:04:28That's the one.
01:04:29Thank you for coming, Myra.
01:04:31We will see you again before we leave.
01:04:35Yes, you will.
01:04:37By the way, Carl, there's something I've been wanting to ask you.
01:04:42Suppose the portrait of me had turned out badly.
01:04:47Suppose you'd realized you'd made a mistake in the manner in which you'd handled it.
01:04:52What would you have done?
01:04:57Destroyed it, of course.
01:04:58Despite your fee?
01:05:00Despite anything.
01:05:02Strange.
01:05:05I've always felt that the same parallel existed in law.
01:05:12Well, I've got to be going.
01:05:13Good night.
01:05:15Night, Craig.
01:05:16I can't tell you how good it's been having dinner here with you, Craig.
01:05:33Wish we could do it more often.
01:05:36Ray, there's something I want to ask you.
01:05:40Shoot.
01:05:41About the Myra Leeds trial.
01:05:43Oh, my.
01:05:44Well, I talk over yesterday's headlines.
01:05:47You asked the jury to find Myra guilty of first-degree murder.
01:05:52Hmm.
01:05:54At the end of the trial, the jury found her not guilty.
01:05:59How did you find her?
01:06:02It's important to me, Ray.
01:06:04I want to know.
01:06:05All right, Craig.
01:06:11You were very convincing.
01:06:14I can understand you were swearing that jury, but you didn't sway me.
01:06:18At the time, I still thought she was guilty.
01:06:21I was sure you did.
01:06:22You know, I thought about it for a long time.
01:06:25Now I know that the...
01:06:27the jury brought in the correct verdict.
01:06:29I've known you too many years, Craig.
01:06:31You never would have said what you did just for the dramatic effect.
01:06:35Another attorney might, but not you.
01:06:39No, I admit it.
01:06:40On the Myra Leeds case, I was way off base.
01:06:48Well, thank you, Ray.
01:06:51Now there's something I'd like you to do for me.
01:06:53Hello, Mrs. Leeds.
01:06:59Mr. Carson's expecting you.
01:07:01Thank you, Jenny.
01:07:07Mrs. Leeds?
01:07:08Mr. Willis?
01:07:10Now Myra, I knew you could make it.
01:07:12No, it's getting late.
01:07:14I'd better leave.
01:07:15It's been a wonderful evening.
01:07:16Thanks for the talk, Ray.
01:07:17You've been very helpful.
01:07:20Mrs. Leeds?
01:07:20Why did you send for me?
01:07:35Why were you talking to the district attorney?
01:07:37We were talking about a case.
01:07:40Your case, Myra.
01:07:41This grotesque joke of yours has gone far enough.
01:07:44You still think this is a joke?
01:07:46You've got to stop it, Craig.
01:07:47Every time you talk to Carl, I...
01:07:50The other evening at dinner, I was terrified.
01:07:52What you're doing is inhuman.
01:07:54I can't stand much more of it.
01:07:56You're a murderous, Myra.
01:07:58Anything that happens to you won't be enough.
01:08:01Craig, the jury freed me.
01:08:04They found me innocent.
01:08:06All I want is to go away with Carl.
01:08:09Please understand, for the first time in my life,
01:08:11I want to live decently.
01:08:12You don't know the meaning of the word.
01:08:14At first, I thought Carl Holt was like you.
01:08:20But it wasn't long before I changed my mind.
01:08:24You fooled him, Myra.
01:08:26Just like you fooled me.
01:08:28He's too fine to be hurt by someone like you.
01:08:31I'm not going to let it happen.
01:08:33No matter what you tell him, he won't believe you.
01:08:35There's no way of proving that I killed Joe.
01:08:38You're just trying to frighten me with more threats.
01:08:42Understand me, Myra.
01:08:43I never once meant to threaten you.
01:08:47I made you a promise.
01:08:53What I've compiled in this folder is no longer theory.
01:08:56It's proof.
01:08:59The only way you can prevent me from turning it over to Carl
01:09:02is to kill me.
01:09:04I'm not going to kill you.
01:09:06I'm not going to kill you.
01:09:08It must be maddening to know that in just a little while,
01:09:12you're going to lose everything you've planned and killed for.
01:09:15You see, Myra,
01:09:16you can't win anymore.
01:09:19It was not long before my telephone began to ring.
01:09:30I knew it would be Myra.
01:09:31She was desperate.
01:09:33She wanted to see me right away.
01:09:35But I still had a few things to do,
01:09:37so I told her I'd see her later at my office.
01:09:39I made the appointment for 12.30 sharp.
01:09:43It was now only a matter of waiting.
01:09:46Time took care of the wait.
01:09:48So now the pattern's complete.
01:09:50And it's the same pattern Joe Leeds lived.
01:09:54But this time, Myra won't be acquitted.
01:09:56That's where you're concerned, Ray.
01:09:58Because this time,
01:10:00you're not going to have to guess
01:10:02whether or not Myra is guilty.
01:10:04You'll know.
01:10:06You're going to be a witness.
01:10:28Thank you for being so prompt.
01:10:55You promised me an answer.
01:10:59Here it is.
01:11:01My complete file.
01:11:03Now no attorney could get you off.
01:11:05Not even me.
01:11:06I told you.
01:11:07I can't be tried for the same crime twice.
01:11:10And I told you I'm trying you before Carl Holt.
01:11:13We'll let him determine whether or not you're guilty.
01:11:16Or would you prefer this?
01:11:21I'm not going to kill anyone.
01:11:23Very well.
01:11:24That affords three of us a visit.
01:11:27Carl, you, and I.
01:11:29I'm going to call and ask him to come right over.
01:11:32After seeing this,
01:11:33if he still wants to marry a murderess,
01:11:35that's his business.
01:11:39Craig, don't call him.
01:11:46Craig.
01:11:46Don't make me do it.
01:11:52Hello.
01:11:53Craig.
01:12:02Hello.
01:12:04Hello.
01:12:05Hello.
01:12:08Hello.
01:12:08Hello.
01:12:08¡Gracias!
01:12:38¡Gracias!
01:12:40No, no, no, no, no, no.
01:13:10What are you doing here?
01:13:30He asked if I could meet him here at 12.30.
01:13:33Strange.
01:13:34Told me to be here at 12.40.
01:13:35I'd never expect Craig to do a thing like this.
01:13:45This is Ray Willis.
01:14:03Man shot himself.
01:14:04Will you send someone over right away, please?
01:14:06Uh, Chambers Building, room 2407.
01:14:09No, he's dead.
01:14:31Tape recorder is still running.
01:14:33It must have been dictating when it happened.
01:14:49And it could be Craig's way of giving us an explanation.
01:14:51To Ray Willis, district attorney.
01:15:07Dear Ray, in exactly 55 minutes, I will be dead.
01:15:15Murder.
01:15:16Yes.
01:15:16First of all, let me leave.
01:15:19Let me leave.
01:15:20Let me leave.
01:15:25hypocrisy.
01:15:26¡Gracias!
01:15:56¡Gracias!
01:16:26¡Gracias!
