00:05:04And who do you think is going to win the election?
00:05:06What?
00:05:07Never say what.
00:05:08Say I beg your pardon.
00:05:09I'm changing the conversation.
00:05:11Oh.
00:05:11I prefer traveling by air myself.
00:05:13Just as I've always claimed, it pays to buy all the goods.
00:05:17There I stood on the 18th green.
00:05:19With only 289 shopping days left.
00:05:22The irony of it all.
00:05:24Speaking of shopping days, I was doing some shopping myself this afternoon.
00:05:27And I said to myself, Cesar, one of these days she's going to say yes.
00:05:31And when she does, I want to be ready.
00:05:33So?
00:05:36Oh, not now, Jeff.
00:05:38Well, but I've waited so long, then.
00:05:39You've only known me for three weeks.
00:05:41I've been proposing for two of them.
00:05:44Jeff.
00:05:44I can't answer you now.
00:05:48Really, I can't.
00:05:49Why can't you?
00:05:51Reasons.
00:05:53Reasons what reasons?
00:05:54I can't tell you that either.
00:05:57You know I'd like to say something very inelegant.
00:05:59Okay, go ahead.
00:06:02Biddle says.
00:06:03Jeff, would you mind getting my compact?
00:06:16I'd like to do the pocket of your overcoat.
00:06:18Sure.
00:06:18I'll call you tomorrow.
00:06:46Where are you staying?
00:06:47At the blazer.
00:06:48And you will call me, won't you?
00:06:50Promise me.
00:06:51Of course I will.
00:06:53Goodbye.
00:06:58Hello.
00:06:59Hello.
00:06:59Hello.
00:06:59I thought I'd find you here.
00:07:01You're just leaving.
00:07:03Look, I want to talk to you about this.
00:07:04Quiet, will you?
00:07:05Quiet.
00:07:09Is your war paint on me?
00:07:11Thanks.
00:07:12Miss me?
00:07:14Remendlessly.
00:07:15Liar.
00:07:16What about it?
00:07:21I told you if you'd see me next week, I'd kiss you in.
00:07:24But what about it?
00:07:25All right, listen.
00:07:25What about it?
00:07:25All right, listen.
00:07:30We are going to work for life.
00:07:44All right, he was with the guy what guy with the guy to get up there
00:08:00I think the whole team you'll have to say hitle the parking lot we've laid in the cab if you don't mind all right
00:08:05Because you're waiting time
00:08:14Oh, no crap. I love it. You run up the witnesses our phone headquarters, right?
00:08:20Anybody that saw any of this
00:08:24Officer I saw him in the restaurant there were five terrible looking men with him. Oh, it was awful. And what's your name? Peggy what?
00:08:32I'm afraid I date to Rick man's been killed. It's a nasty man. I'll have to take charge. That's all right Jeff. I understand. I'll get your cab
00:08:44All right
00:08:59Good night
00:09:08Then the young guy yanks the Roscoe and when
00:09:10Then he shoved the gas of the dame and blows. He what? He pokes the gun to the squirt and scrams
00:09:19Dots
00:09:21How did I do not understand English? I'll talk it then. What does she do with the gun? Nothing at voice then she pokes in the voice and then
00:09:29She and the dude would have come down on me cab. It's the same story that the taffy peddler told. Yeah
00:09:35I thought to the woman in the gambler, right?
00:09:37Can I scram now? No, not yet. You wait in the next room and keep your gab shut
00:09:41Okay, chief, but the meter on the cab's running somebody's gonna give me what I got coming. I wish I could give it to you my lad
00:09:48Oh, how I wish I could
00:09:52Come on
00:09:54This thing mr. Norman will you step in now, please?
00:10:06Not yet, but I've been waiting simply for hours. It won't be much longer
00:10:11I don't know what my gentlemen friends will think my being here so long with all you men
00:10:15I'm afraid you're perfectly safe. I'm afraid so too
00:10:21Thank you
00:10:23Now we'd like to have your account of what occurred tonight
00:10:29Nathalie and I used to meet at the Saunton every Thursday night. Why did you?
00:10:33Well, oh, come on open up. This is no gambling prosecution
00:10:39Thanks
00:10:40Well, to arrange a little friendly game
00:10:43West had played with us a few times. He knew about the Saunton. He was going to play with you tonight. No, that's why he was mad at Nathalie
00:10:49Spread that up a little bit, will you?
00:10:51Oh, West was a piker player. He'd lost to Nathalie and wanted a chance to get his own back
00:10:56Nathalie was sick and tired of his whining and refused to bring him along with us. West insisted
00:11:01The boy was. I mean, he'd been drinking. I don't think he realized. West followed us out of the restaurant
00:11:07When we got to the top of the steps, he swore at Nathalie struck him and Nathalie struck back. Then West pulled a gun fired and ran
00:11:14What did he do with the gun? He dropped it into my hands. Oh, into your hands. I was frightened things happen so
00:11:20Unexpectedly. Yes, yes, we understand. All I could think of was to get away from there
00:11:24And uh, what did you do with the gun? Well, I hid it in my purse and then when the officer came Arnie made me give it to him
00:11:31I see
00:11:33Well, that'll be all for a moment if you'll wait in the next room
00:11:35Certainly
00:11:43How many people know we have the gun besides the officer and ourselves well, there's those two there the taffy peddler and that
00:11:49Flippity-tongued taxi pirate hold all of them as material witness
00:11:53But the woman woman too, but she admitted hiding the gun in her purse that makes her an accessory after the thing
00:11:58I realize that but I'm not interested in prosecuting a foolish woman for something she did in a moment of hysteria
00:12:02Besides I want to keep the defense guessing
00:12:05Guessing about the gun until the trial the moment we arrested it. They'd know why
00:12:11Then his material witnesses there be the whole lot of them see that no word about the gun leaks out. Oh, I'll gag me
00:12:17So I don't blab in me sleep
00:12:28Ah good morning beautiful lovely morning, huh? It's going to rain
00:12:34Well, so it is well that'll be good for the crop
00:12:39How did you know I was going to say that you've been saying it every cloudy morning for the past 17 years
00:12:44Oh
00:12:48Oh good morning, my dear. Good morning, Betty. Good morning. Morning, Mary
00:12:54Good morning. Good morning, Miss Marion. How are you this morning?
00:12:58Poorly Miss Blaisdell when there's rain in the air my rheumatism gets worse and worse
00:13:02You shouldn't see her like that, dear. You know she has no sense of humor
00:13:19Oh, Marion. Yes
00:13:21What?
00:13:32What is it?
00:13:33What is it?
00:13:43What is it?
00:13:47Judge, who's the best criminal lawyer in the city?
00:13:56Alan Adams.
00:13:57Alan Adams.
00:14:07Jeff, what do you think of this?
00:14:09What?
00:14:10Harry West is going to be defended by Alan Adams.
00:14:12Well, that means we're in for a real battle.
00:14:21Where do you think West got the money to hire him?
00:14:23I've been wondering about that myself.
00:14:25Right in there, Jeff.
00:14:43Thanks.
00:14:46Hello there.
00:14:48Hello, Jeff.
00:14:48I've been neglecting you terribly lately.
00:14:54Yes, you have.
00:14:56I was thinking of you.
00:14:57Were you?
00:14:58Here.
00:14:59No, what's this?
00:15:00At the pass of the trial, that you can see your husband-to-be opposed the great Alan Adams.
00:15:08Jeff, do you really believe that Harry West is guilty?
00:15:12Beyond any doubt.
00:15:15But, uh...
00:15:16But what?
00:15:17Well, the paper says Adams is confident.
00:15:21Well, I'm afraid the confident Mr. Adams is in for surprise.
00:15:24Surprise?
00:15:25You'll see when you come to the trial.
00:15:27Oh.
00:15:30I'll be there, Jeff.
00:15:32I'll be there every day.
00:15:33Oh, that'll be fine.
00:15:34The state may proceed.
00:15:42The state may proceed.
00:15:46Your Honor, gentlemen to the jury.
00:15:49The contention of the state.
00:15:51The defendant shot and killed the cellist.
00:15:55I have no desire of involving this trial unnecessarily.
00:15:59I believe that the simple facts are sufficient to convince you beyond reasonable doubt.
00:16:08It's all first witness.
00:16:09Edward Pearson to the stand.
00:16:17And you're the head waiter.
00:16:19Yes, I'm the head waiter at the thought.
00:16:21On the night of the 18th, Mr. Norman, Mr. Neseli, and Miss Fane came into the restaurant.
00:16:26About a half hour later, a man came in and asked where they were.
00:16:30Is that man in the courtroom?
00:16:34Yes, that's the man.
00:16:36That's all?
00:16:39I saw that man come in, and I saw him leave.
00:16:42He was arguing with poor Mr. Neseli.
00:16:44I'd know him anywhere.
00:16:46Mr. Westman, maybe.
00:16:50Your witness.
00:16:51Miss Watts, how many people came in the restaurant while you were there?
00:17:02I haven't the biggest idea.
00:17:04Did I come in?
00:17:06I don't think so.
00:17:07Did a man with a long black beard come in?
00:17:10I don't know.
00:17:11Then why are you suspect that Harry West was there?
00:17:13Because I saw a young lady stopping right by my table and arguing.
00:17:16On his way out?
00:17:18No, on his way in.
00:17:19Did you know the young lady?
00:17:21No, I just glanced at him.
00:17:24And you happened to glance at Mr. West when he went out?
00:17:27Yes.
00:17:28I suppose you could describe this young lady, the one you just glanced at.
00:17:32Oh, of course.
00:17:33She was wearing a gold embroidered before evening gown.
00:17:36It had puffed sleeves, a square neckline, small buckles, and a gold metal cloth belt.
00:17:41She had a stable trim throw, all the hems were hand-rolled, and was made out of ten and three-eighth yards in the turret.
00:17:45And you just glanced at this woman.
00:17:54Well, uh...
00:17:54How could you possibly tell how much material there was in the count of the eighth of a yard?
00:17:58Because it was exactly like one I made for myself.
00:18:00That's why I glanced at it.
00:18:01And now, Miss Watts.
00:18:05Is this the lady?
00:18:06I object.
00:18:07The attorney is leading the witness by direct interest.
00:18:09This ain't.
00:18:09I'll rephrase my question.
00:18:13Do you see the young lady in the courtroom?
00:18:15Your Honor, I did speak to a young lady, but she's not here and has no connection with this case.
00:18:20Shh.
00:18:20Quiet, Miss Watts.
00:18:21Quiet.
00:18:23That's all, Miss Watts.
00:18:25Your Honor, I ask that the witness be instructed to answer that question.
00:18:30I withdraw my question.
00:18:31Your Honor?
00:18:32The witness will answer the question.
00:18:34What question?
00:18:36Do you see the young lady in the courtroom?
00:18:38Well...
00:18:40No, I don't believe that she's here.
00:18:51But I'd know the vent if I saw her.
00:18:53That's all.
00:18:55I was on my way to the theater to sell my Taffy.
00:18:59I saw him pull the gun and shoot Mr. Neseli.
00:19:05Just like the Taffy guy said.
00:19:07He didn't give him a chance.
00:19:08I've seen the whole thing.
00:19:10Wes had been drinking.
00:19:11It was very quarrelsome.
00:19:14He struck Miss Neseli,
00:19:16flipped out a gun, and pulled the trigger.
00:19:18I heard a whistle blowing,
00:19:20and I came running.
00:19:22As I rounded the corner,
00:19:23I bumped into Wes.
00:19:25So I held him.
00:19:27Your witness.
00:19:28When you caught Mr. West,
00:19:37did you search him?
00:19:38Yes, I did.
00:19:39Thoroughly?
00:19:39Yes, sir.
00:19:40Did he have any weapon on his person,
00:19:42particularly a gun?
00:19:43He did not.
00:19:45That's all.
00:19:49Your Honor,
00:19:49the state has established
00:19:51that the murder of Neseli used a gun.
00:19:54Mr. West was captured within 200 feet
00:19:56of the fountain entrance
00:19:56without any weapon.
00:19:58No gun has been introduced in court,
00:20:00and there has been no effort made,
00:20:02apparently, to find this weapon.
00:20:03Therefore,
00:20:04I demand an immediate dismissal...
00:20:06I have the state as prepared
00:20:06to call witnesses
00:20:07covering the point in question.
00:20:09The state may proceed.
00:20:11I'd like to offer,
00:20:12in evidence,
00:20:13this gun,
00:20:15and ask that it may be marked
00:20:16for exhibiting.
00:20:18No objection.
00:20:19It may be no mark.
00:20:21All mistakes.
00:20:23Everyone staying to the stand, please.
00:20:31I'll be sure to tell the truth,
00:20:33the whole truth,
00:20:33nothing but the truth.
00:20:34Help you, God?
00:20:34I do.
00:20:35What is your name, please?
00:20:36Evelyn Sain.
00:20:37Be seated.
00:20:40Sain, you were present
00:20:41at the time of the shooting.
00:20:42I was.
00:20:43Will you tell us,
00:20:44in your own words,
00:20:45what occurred immediately
00:20:46after the shot was fired?
00:20:47When the gun went off,
00:20:48I was frightened,
00:20:49stunned.
00:20:50I didn't realize what had happened.
00:20:52And then Harry,
00:20:53Mr. West,
00:20:54thrust the gun into my hand.
00:20:59Is this the gun?
00:21:01I believe so, yes.
00:21:06Go on, please.
00:21:08And then he,
00:21:09Mr. West ran off.
00:21:10Well, I was confused terribly.
00:21:12So I thrust the gun into my purse
00:21:14and hurried down the steps.
00:21:16Your Honor,
00:21:16Your Honor,
00:21:17I demand that this witness
00:21:18be placed under arrest
00:21:19as an accessory after the fact.
00:21:20Unless the state
00:21:21has promised her immunity
00:21:22in return for her testimony.
00:21:23Promise nothing.
00:21:24Then I demand that she be placed
00:21:25in custody.
00:21:26Perhaps her story
00:21:27won't be so clear
00:21:28when she faces prison.
00:21:29Your Honor,
00:21:29I am pissed upon her.
00:21:30She convicted herself.
00:21:32But she did it
00:21:32in a moment of hysteria.
00:21:33Your Honor,
00:21:34Your Honor,
00:21:34silence.
00:21:36Felix placed the witness
00:21:37under arrest.
00:21:38The court will now adjourn
00:21:39for a brief recess.
00:21:54Well, young man,
00:21:55I hope you realize
00:21:56what we're up against now.
00:21:57I do.
00:22:02If I put you on the stand,
00:22:03will you tell the jury the truth?
00:22:07I'll tell them I'm innocent.
00:22:08Will you tell them
00:22:09who you really are?
00:22:13No.
00:22:15Very well.
00:22:19Come in, Miss Courtney.
00:22:22Harry.
00:22:23What are you doing here?
00:22:24Oh, Harry, I...
00:22:25I sent for her.
00:22:26Get her out of here.
00:22:27Please.
00:22:27Now, we've got to have
00:22:28an understanding,
00:22:29the three of us.
00:22:30You've written this boy's life.
00:22:32He refuses to let me use
00:22:33what I know of his past.
00:22:34And if I put him on the stand,
00:22:36Powell will rip him apart
00:22:37on cross-examination.
00:22:38I'll refuse to answer.
00:22:39Exactly.
00:22:40And every man in that jury
00:22:41will think you're hiding something
00:22:42and they'll convict you.
00:22:50How much would it help
00:22:51if he did talk?
00:22:53I'd stand one chance
00:22:54in a thousand
00:22:55of getting him off
00:22:56with the life sentence.
00:22:57It's not worth it.
00:22:58Then I'll have to put her
00:22:59on the stand.
00:22:59I won't let you drag
00:23:00her name into this.
00:23:01Oh, Harry, please.
00:23:02If I get into this,
00:23:02I'll do the pain.
00:23:03Oh, but listen, dear,
00:23:04I...
00:23:05Get her out of here.
00:23:05Please!
00:23:06Do we suppose Adams
00:23:16will put West on the stand?
00:23:18No, I doubt it.
00:23:26Marion.
00:23:29What were you doing
00:23:29in that room?
00:23:30Oh, Jeff, I...
00:23:31You were in there
00:23:31with Adams and West.
00:23:32I know.
00:23:32Oh, no, I wasn't.
00:23:33I saw you.
00:23:35Marion.
00:23:36That night,
00:23:36Mrs. Thornton,
00:23:37you wore a gold dress.
00:23:38I don't know
00:23:38what you're talking about.
00:23:39It was you
00:23:40who spoke to Harry West.
00:23:41Jeff, please.
00:23:42What have you to do
00:23:42with him?
00:23:42Why are you mixed up?
00:23:43I can't tell you.
00:23:44Not now.
00:23:44I've got to know.
00:23:45Jeff, please.
00:23:46Tell me what you mean to...
00:23:47I can't.
00:23:52You're quite right, sir.
00:23:54I fired test bullets
00:23:55from the gun
00:23:56and compared them
00:23:56to the slot
00:23:57and taken from
00:23:57the solid body.
00:23:59And as an expert
00:24:00on ballistics,
00:24:01it's your conclusion
00:24:02that this is
00:24:03the murder weapon.
00:24:05It is.
00:24:07Your witness.
00:24:08No question.
00:24:10That's all.
00:24:14Your Honor,
00:24:15stay at rest.
00:24:15Your Honor,
00:24:27gentlemen of the jury,
00:24:31the able attorneys
00:24:32for the state
00:24:33have called witnesses,
00:24:36presented experts,
00:24:37have shown you evidence
00:24:38in an attempt
00:24:39to prove
00:24:40Harry West's guilt.
00:24:42The defense
00:24:42has no witnesses,
00:24:44no experts,
00:24:44no circumstantial evidence.
00:24:47I believe my client.
00:24:50I believe this murder
00:24:51was cunningly planned
00:24:52and ingeniously executed
00:24:53in such a manner
00:24:54as to throw the blame
00:24:55on an innocent boy.
00:24:57My only defense
00:24:58will be
00:24:58the honest story
00:25:00of a young man.
00:25:02Call Harry West.
00:25:05Harry West for the stand.
00:25:11You solemnly swear
00:25:12to tell the truth,
00:25:12the whole truth,
00:25:13nothing but the truth,
00:25:13so help you God.
00:25:15I do.
00:25:16What is your name?
00:25:18Harry West.
00:25:19Be seated.
00:25:22Now, Harry,
00:25:23I want you to tell the jury
00:25:25exactly what happened
00:25:26that night.
00:25:27All right.
00:25:29I will.
00:25:31What I need
00:25:32Mr. Norman
00:25:34said about my being
00:25:35at the Thornton
00:25:35was true.
00:25:37I'd lost money
00:25:39to Mr. Noselli.
00:25:40I wanted a chance
00:25:41to win it back.
00:25:43I'd been drinking,
00:25:44but not enough
00:25:45to do what they said I did.
00:25:47When we reached the door,
00:25:49Noselli said,
00:25:50look, Harry,
00:25:51meet us next week
00:25:52and I'll kiss you in.
00:25:53And then he lunged
00:25:54against me
00:25:55as though Arnie
00:25:55had shoved him.
00:25:56And I grabbed him
00:25:57to help him get his balance
00:25:58like anybody would.
00:26:00Then I heard his shot.
00:26:03He tried to hang on to me.
00:26:05Then he went down
00:26:06on the steps.
00:26:09Arnie pressed the gun
00:26:10against my side
00:26:11and said,
00:26:12beat it
00:26:12or I'll let you have it too.
00:26:14I was frightened.
00:26:15I ran.
00:26:15Arnie Norman
00:26:18killed him,
00:26:18not me.
00:26:21Your witness.
00:26:28No questions.
00:26:29No questions.
00:26:45Hello.
00:27:07Speaking.
00:27:09Yes.
00:27:11Yes.
00:27:15Good.
00:27:20Guilty.
00:27:24Number seven?
00:27:26There was no recommendation
00:27:27for leniency.
00:27:30The court
00:27:30has no choice.
00:27:34Oh.
00:27:41This is Don Hayes,
00:27:42your air reporter,
00:27:43coming to you
00:27:44with our noon broadcast
00:27:44of worldwide news.
00:27:46Our first item
00:27:47is an echo
00:27:48of the sensational
00:27:48mystery man murder trial
00:27:50that ended last week
00:27:51in the death verdict
00:27:51of Harry West.
00:27:53Today,
00:27:53just five days
00:27:54after West's conviction,
00:27:55Evelyn Duchess Thame
00:27:57was found guilty
00:27:57as accessory
00:27:58after the fact
00:27:59and given a one
00:28:00to five year sentence
00:28:01in the Women's State
00:28:01Penitentiary.
00:28:03Now look here, Arnie.
00:28:04Steady, Duchess, will you?
00:28:05You told me.
00:28:05Don't worry.
00:28:06You'll be taken care of.
00:28:07I'd better be.
00:28:09You will.
00:28:10Time's up, miss.
00:28:13So long.
00:28:13Why did she leave?
00:28:19Where did she go?
00:28:20She left this morning, Jeff.
00:28:21I helped her
00:28:22with her traveling arrangements.
00:28:24Did she know
00:28:24that I've been trying
00:28:25to see her
00:28:25ever since the trial?
00:28:26Yes.
00:28:28Well, then why
00:28:28wouldn't she give me
00:28:29just a minute?
00:28:30Perhaps she couldn't, Jeff.
00:28:32She asked me
00:28:33to give you this.
00:28:34Where does Marion's
00:28:48family live?
00:28:49She has a sister
00:28:50in San Francisco.
00:28:51Did she go there?
00:28:52No, Jeff.
00:28:53She didn't.
00:28:54Where did she go there?
00:28:55I can't tell you that, Jeff.
00:28:57Why?
00:28:58Because I promised her
00:29:00I'd tell no one.
00:29:01I see.
00:29:07Well, thanks.

00:53:25Oh, thanks.
00:53:30The boy doesn't look like I'm murderous, does he?
00:53:52No.
00:53:53No, he doesn't.
00:53:54Read it to me, will you, while I finish putting those things away.
00:54:00Harry West, the mystery man-killer, will go to his death at dawn tomorrow.
00:54:11This was made a certainty that the governor refused the plea of Alan Adams.
00:54:19That boy, he looks young enough to be your son, doesn't he?
00:54:24Yes.
00:54:25Lester, that boy isn't going to the chair.
00:54:28No?
00:54:29No, because you're going to the police with me.
00:54:32Police?
00:54:33To admit that you helped him, Harry West.
00:54:35You're from headquarters, then.
00:54:37You're a...
00:54:37I don't have it.
00:54:38When you're the same, then you'll have to help me like that.
00:54:41I wouldn't dare.
00:54:42Arnie would kill me.
00:54:43He's from the picture.
00:54:45They'd arrest me for lying at the trial.
00:54:47I'll give you a break if you do his safe, doesn't he?
00:54:50He's a smart gal.
00:54:52No, no, I can't double-cross Arnie.
00:54:54They're going to double-cross you.
00:54:56They're going over the line tonight without you.
00:54:59Lester, that boy might have been your son.
00:55:01And he's going to the chair because you lied.
00:55:04Arnie.
00:55:05He made me do it.
00:55:06He made me.
00:55:07Lester, I'm going to the police, alone if I must, and tell them what I know.
00:55:11Come with me and I'll help you.
00:55:12Stay here and you'll be caught with the rest.
00:55:15Well?
00:55:15No, I'm afraid.
00:55:18I wish your son could see you now.
00:55:27I'll go with you.
00:55:28Come now.
00:55:29Quick before Arnie gets back.
00:55:30Now I know you'll lose two pigeons.
00:55:38Put them up.
00:55:40Okay, next week.
00:55:45Just packy lazy.
00:55:47Now you two behave yourself and you won't be hurt.
00:55:50Where's Arnie?
00:55:51He went to the city.
00:55:53All right, get inside.
00:55:53I'm going over there.
00:56:00Sit down, Jeffrey lad.
00:56:01Everything's under control.
00:56:03You notice a feeling I have what with Packy on the job?
00:56:06We'll learn plenty when Arnie gets back.
00:56:09Well, maybe you're right.
00:56:10I'm sorry I have to do this, girls.
00:56:17No hard feelings.
00:56:18No hard feelings.
00:56:40Ask me.
00:56:41No hard feelings.
00:56:43Okay, I can't wait.
00:56:46I can't wait.
00:56:47I can't wait.
00:57:17What's that?
00:57:36Oh, maybe a little static.
00:57:47I wonder if, uh, what was that?
00:57:49Stand up!
00:57:52Go on.
00:57:53In there.
00:57:54Drop that gun.
00:58:12Drop it.
00:58:15And you.
00:58:17Come on.
00:58:18Now get in there.
00:58:24One thief out of you, I'll blow you wide open.
00:58:27That guy was going to squirrel the cop.
00:58:43That double-clothin' dinked.
00:58:45I know.
00:58:45I fluttered the listener.
00:58:46I socked him.
00:58:47Save it.
00:58:47Save it.
00:58:48We've got to blow quick.
00:58:49Where did they go?
00:58:49In there.
00:58:51Take it easy, Jeffrey.
00:58:53You know, the program don't start until Arnie gets back.
00:58:56No, but it's waiting.
00:58:57It's on my nerves.
00:58:58Yeah.
00:58:59Well, you'd get on mine if I had any.
00:59:03Just lucky for you, I like your cigar.
00:59:05Are you sure there's nothing wrong with this machine?
00:59:08Oh, well, just to keep you easy, I'll check and make sure.
00:59:11You're right.
00:59:29Our tin wenchiff has kicked the bucket.
00:59:32Can you fix it?
00:59:33Well, I don't know.
00:59:35It's colder than me wife's feet.
00:59:37The cop's a wife of it.
00:59:50We've got to beat it.
00:59:51Wait for me in the car.
00:59:52We've got to beat it.
01:00:22I knew you'd come back.
01:00:24Sure.
01:00:25Where's Paki?
01:00:26What happened?
01:00:26Landy, I got wife through a few things.
01:00:28How'd he find out where we were?
01:00:30Probably from your friends, the cops.
01:00:33My friends?
01:00:34Go ahead, talk your head off.
01:00:36I just fixed their microphones.
01:00:38Oh, Arnie, what do you mean?
01:00:39Tommy tipped me.
01:00:40You little double-crosser.
01:00:41Arnie, you're wrong.
01:00:42Listen.
01:00:43They'll be here in a few minutes.
01:00:45And how sorry they'll be to find that you've committed suicide.
01:00:53Arnie!
01:00:54Goodbye, Duchess.
01:00:55Where's the map?
01:01:20Oh, God.
01:01:22I'll leave the factory car.
01:01:24Look.
01:01:26The car.
01:01:28Oh, God.
01:01:30Oh, God.
01:01:32Oh, God.
01:01:34Oh, God.
01:01:36Oh.
01:01:38Oh, God.
01:01:40Oh, God.
01:01:42Oh, God.
01:01:44Oh, God.
01:01:46Oh, God.
01:01:48Oh, God.
01:01:50Oh, God.
01:01:52Oh, God.
01:01:54Oh, God.
01:02:06Well, that's my story.
01:02:08Now, are we to talk to state Hollywood?
01:02:10Yes.
01:02:12I'll put Arnie Norman where he belongs.
01:02:14they're draining
01:02:32It might happen now.
01:02:44They're right behind you.
01:02:50Hold on, they're at the police station.
01:03:02Yes, Governor.
01:03:18Full confession from the woman.
01:03:21We have the real murderer under arrest.
01:03:24Yes, sir.
01:03:25Well, thank you, sir.
01:03:27Goodbye.
01:03:32Well, Marion, everything's all right now.
01:03:37Harry West will be a free man by the end of the week.
01:03:40Thank you, Jeff.
01:03:42And now I can tell you the truth about it.
01:03:44You don't need to.
01:03:46I think I know.
01:03:47No, you don't, Jeff.
01:03:49You see, Harry disgraced his family, left home, changed his name.
01:03:53I went in search of him.
01:03:55I see.
01:03:56I promised his father not to reveal Harry's identity until I found him,
01:04:00and made certain he'd changed.
01:04:02Then charged with murder.
01:04:04Harry wouldn't let me tell anyone his real name.
01:04:06Harrison.
01:04:08Well, I hope you and Mr. Harrison will be very happy.
01:04:11But Harrison's his first name.
01:04:13First name?
01:04:14Yes.
01:04:15Harrison Courtney, Jr.
01:04:17He's my brother.
01:04:19Your...
01:04:22Your brother?
01:04:23Yes.
01:04:24Oh.
01:04:25Oh, Marion.
01:04:27You look at the shameless creatures.
01:04:32And after just getting out of one bad accident.
01:04:34Accident?
01:04:35This is no accident.
01:04:36They are doing this with malice aforethought.
