Shadows of the City is a haunting journey through the dark alleys of an unnamed metropolis, where corruption, betrayal, and justice intertwine beneath flickering streetlights. A weary detective, burdened by his past, descends into the criminal underworld to uncover a conspiracy that reaches higher than anyone dares to imagine. Every shadow hides a secret, every silence tells a story, and the line between right and wrong fades beneath the city’s dim glow.

00:00:00The End
00:00:30THE END
00:01:00We are now below the deadline, the financial and diamond district.
00:01:24Here there are more diamonds by the square foot than any part of the world.
00:01:29Including the transparm.
00:01:43Good afternoon, Captain.
00:01:44Hello, Peter.
00:01:45Oh, hello, Captain Simon.
00:01:46Hello, Molly.
00:01:47Mr. Abrams is expecting me.
00:01:48Captain Simon is here.
00:01:49Would you go in?
00:01:51How are you, Mr. Abrams?
00:01:52Oh, good afternoon, Captain.
00:01:53Sit down.
00:01:54Thanks.
00:01:55Have a cigar?
00:01:56Well, thank you.
00:01:57What's on your mind?
00:01:58These diamonds.
00:01:59These and a lot more to come.
00:02:00And...
00:02:01Oh, pardon me.
00:02:02This is Mr. Eberle.
00:02:03Captain Simon.
00:02:04Mr. Eberle.
00:02:05I'm glad to know you, Captain.
00:02:06Mr. Eberle and I are negotiating our very large consignment of diamonds.
00:02:10And we thought that you should be warned about it.
00:02:11A wise precaution.
00:02:12Are you collecting the consignment here?
00:02:13Yes.
00:02:14They're for my firm in Chicago.
00:02:15But they're not to be shipped for nearly a week.
00:02:16Well, don't worry.
00:02:17We've got a pretty good line on all the boys in town.
00:02:18And not one of them would dare to shove his nose below him.
00:02:19And not one of them would dare to shove his nose below him.
00:02:20And not one of them would dare to be shipped for nearly a week.
00:02:21Well, don't worry.
00:02:22We've got a pretty good line on all the boys in town.
00:02:23Well, by the way uh...
00:02:24Where is your deadline now, Captain?
00:02:26Still coming in.
00:02:27And we thought that you should be warned about it.
00:02:28And we thought that you should be warned about it.
00:02:29A wise precaution.
00:02:30Are you collecting the consignment here?
00:02:31Yes.
00:02:32They're for my firm in Chicago.
00:02:33But, uh...
00:02:34They're not to be shipped for nearly a week.
00:02:35Well, don't worry.
00:02:36We've got a pretty good line on all the boys in town.
00:02:38And not one of them would dare to shove his nose below the deadline.
00:02:41I'll just tell my men to keep their eyes peeled.
00:02:43And if they do see anybody below the deadline that looks suspicious at all...
00:02:46to bring them in for questioning.
00:02:48Well, by the way, uh...
00:02:50Where is your deadline now, Captain?
00:02:52Still Canal Street?
00:02:54Yes. And if any of them come south of that line, it'll be just too bad.
00:02:59Well, so long.
00:03:01Bye-bye.
00:03:08Well, I know where to get a nice solitaire for you, Molly, as soon as you give Terry Mulvaney the gate.
00:03:13You'll be too old by that time, Captain Simon.
00:03:15Oh, you're never too old.
00:03:22Yes, sir.
00:03:23All right, good day, Captain.
00:03:24Goodbye.
00:03:30Well, Miss Fitzgerald, would you mind working an hour or two later tonight?
00:03:34Certainly not, Mr. Abrams.
00:03:35Then as soon as you're through, bring in your notebook.
00:03:52Hello?
00:03:57Hello, Molly, my darling.
00:04:01Terry, dear, I have to work late tonight, so don't wait for me.
00:04:04I'll have supper downtown.
00:04:05You can meet me near the subway entrance around 9.
00:04:08Sure, darling, I'll be there with me buttons all shine.
00:04:11Right.
00:04:22Good evening, sister.
00:04:23How about a lift?
00:04:24Harry!
00:04:25What's the matter, darling?
00:04:26Oh, just a would-be Casanova.
00:04:27And what's that?
00:04:28Oh, a fellow that thinks that offering a girl a lift is a driver's license.
00:04:29Is that so?
00:04:30I'll take care of him.
00:04:31Oh!
00:04:32Don't you worry about a little thing like that.
00:04:33Do you think I'd exchange your home with a face for anything in the world?
00:04:34No, wait a minute.
00:04:35What was that, Craig?
00:04:36It goes for me, too, darling.
00:04:37It goes for me, too, darling.
00:04:38It goes for me, too, darling.
00:04:39Oh, yeah.
00:04:40It goes for me, too, darling.
00:04:41Oh, you're gone for me, too.
00:04:42What's the matter, darling?
00:04:43Oh, just a would-be Casanova.
00:04:44Oh, just a would-be Casanova.
00:04:45And what's that?
00:04:46Oh, a fellow that thinks that offering a girl a lift is a driver's license.
00:04:47Is that so?
00:04:48I'll take care of him.
00:04:49Oh!
00:04:50Don't you worry about a little thing like that.
00:04:52Do you think I'd exchange your home with a face for anything in the world?
00:04:54No, wait a minute.
00:04:55What was that, Craig?
00:04:56It goes for me, too, darling.
00:05:02Oh, wait a minute.
00:05:05Hello, Annie, dear.
00:05:09Oh, good evening, Miss Differton.
00:05:10How are you this evening?
00:05:11Why do people always think it's like to ask silly questions?
00:05:15Well, well, look who's here.
00:05:16Oh, thank you.
00:05:17Have you had your supper?
00:05:18Yes, thank you.
00:05:21Glass of milk and a sandwich, I suppose, standing up at some lunch counter.
00:05:25Oh, well, this rush will soon be over, and then I'll have my evenings to myself again.
00:05:28Would you like some tea, Cherry?
00:05:30Uh-huh.
00:05:30I'll go fix her.
00:05:31Well, are you still here?
00:05:36I thought it was time for you to be going home instead of coming here visiting.
00:05:40Well, I suppose it is a little late for elderly people, but my and me won't mind if you want to go to bed.
00:05:44If you expect me to resent that, you're wrong.
00:05:47Why on earth don't you sit down?
00:05:49You've been on your feet all day, haven't you?
00:05:51I tell you, that's what I have.
00:05:53Good poor dogs.
00:05:54Every time I make them walk, they get sore.
00:05:57And when are you going to get this advancement you're after?
00:05:59Well, the exams are in June, and by July you'll see me a full-fledged detective.
00:06:06Then crime will automatically cease, I suppose.
00:06:09Oh, no, not immediately.
00:06:11You see, there's the honeymoon first.
00:06:13Terry Mulvaney, if you don't make Molly the happiest wife in the world, you'll have me to answer to.
00:06:18It won't be for the water fans.
00:06:20Molly needs a rest.
00:06:22That man Abrams worked her too hard.
00:06:24I don't know what people want, the diamonds anyway.
00:06:28Useless things.
00:06:29And yet, they can't buy them, they steal them.
00:06:31Oh, no, not much chance these days.
00:06:33Rough.
00:06:34Half the crimes in the world are never solved.
00:06:37Over here, let me hold it free.
00:06:42Well, at last I found a useful policeman.
00:06:45Oh, I don't know.
00:06:46Molly found one.
00:06:47Did you ever try it?
00:06:48Are you two still bickering?
00:06:50Let me help you.
00:06:52Well.
00:07:01What are you sewing on now, darling, if I'm permitted to ask?
00:07:05A pillow slip, Mr. Mulvaney, for that red head of yours.
00:07:08You think you two were married already?
00:07:10When I was a girl, no young lady would have said such a thing.
00:07:13Did you faint to, or was it swollen?
00:07:16I think you'd better confine yourself to questions of more importance.
00:07:20Have you got your book, Terry?
00:07:21Oh, yes, sir.
00:07:29When an officer takes a prisoner into custody, what is his duty?
00:07:32To search the prisoner for weapons and evidence,
00:07:36and conduct him directly to the station, using every care to prevent his escape.
00:07:40Good.
00:07:41Under what circumstances is a policeman legally justified in using his pistol?
00:07:46What's that correct?
00:07:47Under what circumstances is a policeman legally justified in using his pistol?
00:07:53And let me tell you, Flash, even if she wouldn't give me a tumble,
00:07:57that Fitzgeraldane can have my role any time she gives me the come on.
00:08:01What's she got that the others don't have?
00:08:05A boy?
00:08:07She's got everything.
00:08:09Hold on, Spike.
00:08:10We're not mixing pleasure with business.
00:08:13She didn't fall for you.
00:08:14So now we've got to find out some other way when Abrams is going to ship those diamonds.
00:08:18Rocks fascinate you, don't they?
00:08:21How do you think I got the name Diamond Dutch?
00:08:24Chasing after fluffs?
00:08:27Maybe not.
00:08:28But I never saw you pass one up.
00:08:30Right.
00:08:30But when there's a job on hand, I don't play with fire.
00:08:36You never saw me get burned.
00:08:38Well, I'm getting penny burnt right now.
00:08:40Here we are, all set to make the biggest haul that's ever been pulled.
00:08:43And all you can think about is some dame that you'd never even see.
00:08:48But I'm going to see her.
00:08:52Tomorrow, I think.
00:08:53And we'd better call the whole deal off.
00:08:55When you fall for a new fluff, I know what happens.
00:08:58So do I.
00:09:00But I can also defer the pleasure to an appropriate time.
00:09:04Don't worry, Dutch.
00:09:05I've seen him play a fish for months before she took the hook.
00:09:15All right.
00:09:17But when does Abrams get in the balance of that consignment?
00:09:19That's all I want to know.
00:09:23Why pull this job a day too soon?
00:09:25When by waiting another day, we could get maybe a hundred grand more.
00:09:31What'll you bet I can find out by tomorrow night?
00:09:35Come on.
00:09:36I'll split a grand with you.
00:09:38Five hundred a piece.
00:09:39Okay.
00:09:41That's a bet.
00:09:42You can land that fish, Geraldine.
00:09:44You've got it coming.
00:09:53Mr. Ackroyd?
00:09:55Right, young lady.
00:09:56And you are Miss, uh...
00:09:58Just Mr. Abrams' secretary.
00:09:59Will you wait a moment, please?
00:10:00With pleasure.
00:10:02I come to look for a diamond, and behold, I find the pearl.
00:10:06Uh, careful.
00:10:07There's so many synthetic pearls on the market these days.
00:10:10Ah, but then I'm an excellent judge.
00:10:13Professional, I would think.
00:10:14On the contrary.
00:10:15Amateur in its literal sense.
00:10:17Mr. Abrams, Mr. Ackroyd's to you.
00:10:23Can you go in, please?
00:10:37Sorry I'm so late.
00:10:38I suppose it's about your closing time.
00:10:40Oh, it's another closing time when we have a client.
00:10:43Won't you sit down?
00:10:44Sir, you said over the phone you were looking for a stone of about, uh, five carats.
00:10:51Yes.
00:10:52A yarder.
00:10:56Send in the stones I selected for Mr. Ackroyd.
00:11:02Oh, that looks like a very fine stone you have in your ring.
00:11:05May I see it?
00:11:06Yes.
00:11:08I picked that up in, uh, Hatton Garden.
00:11:14Why, you know diamonds.
00:11:17It's perfect.
00:11:19Can you match it?
00:11:20Well, you can judge for yourself.
00:11:36Did I use your glass?
00:11:38Certainly.
00:11:38Aren't you going home, Molly?
00:11:49Doesn't look like it, does it?
00:11:50I had a date, too.
00:11:52A woman proposes, but a business disposes.
00:11:55Well, I'll be glad to get home and dispose of that corned beef and cabbage that's waiting for me.
00:11:58Well, these are the best, but neither is as good as mine.
00:12:10I'm afraid you're right, but I shall have more in Thursday, and I think, find a one.
00:12:16Would you call then?
00:12:17I'm not sure, but, uh, I think I could make it Friday.
00:12:22Well, I'm very sorry, but they'll be gone then.
00:12:28Tell me what I'll do.
00:12:31Give you a thousand for that one.
00:12:40Miss Fitzgerald, make out a receipt for Mr. Ackroyd for $1,000.
00:12:44Well, that's fast.
00:13:01Here's your receipt, Mr. Ackroyd.
00:13:04I'm sorry to have been the cause of keeping you so late, but, uh, perhaps I can drive you home.
00:13:09Well, I am rather late.
00:13:11Then why don't you let Mr. Ackroyd take you home?
00:13:13All right.
00:13:15Good night.
00:13:15Good night.
00:13:16Good night.
00:13:16Good night.
00:13:16Thanks a lot.
00:13:43You see, I'm not so bad.
00:13:47Wouldn't you take me on approval for a while?
00:13:51Someone else?
00:13:53There's the proof.
00:13:56Hello, Terry.
00:13:57This is Mr. Ackroyd, Officer Mulvaney.
00:14:00Glad to know you, indeed.
00:14:02So you're the reason she was so anxious to get home.
00:14:04Meaning what?
00:14:05Well, you see, Mr. Abrams and I kept her a little late, and, uh, I offered to make amends.
00:14:11Oh, so you're a friend of Mr. Abrams' phone.
00:14:13That's different.
00:14:15Well, I'm afraid I don't follow.
00:14:17Terry thought you were another smart aleck, like the one that tried to pick me up the other night.
00:14:20Well, I, uh, might be sorely tempted, but, uh, I don't think I'd try.
00:14:28I, uh, seem to be a better judge of character than you are.
00:14:31Well, uh, good night, Mr. Mulvaney.
00:14:33Good night, Mrs. Gerald.
00:14:34Thanks again, Mr. Ackroyd.
00:14:36Don't mention it.
00:14:37What's the matter?
00:14:52You don't seem to like the gentleman.
00:14:53I do not.
00:14:55Oh, Terry, you need never be jealous of me.
00:14:57As a matter of fact, I only accepted his office, but I wouldn't keep you waiting.
00:15:00Well, who is he?
00:15:02All I know is that he just bought a diamond for a thousand dollars.
00:15:05Hmm.
00:15:05I thought he was another one of those mashers, like the one last night.
00:15:09Uh, I'm not that funny.
00:15:12You're in love with me, ain't you?
00:15:14Uh-huh.
00:15:18Yes, Pike?
00:15:20You're right.
00:15:21She had to be seen to be appreciated.
00:15:24Yeah, I thought she'd appeal to your sense of proportion.
00:15:27Yeah.
00:15:29Now I have another object in life.
00:15:31And now a snog, it appears, with a hundred grand, eh?
00:15:34You'd better dig for five hundred, Dutch.
00:15:38You too, Spike.
00:15:40Did you find out?
00:15:42I not only got a good look at the office, but I found out that the consignment will be complete on Thursday night.
00:15:47To top it off, I drove the young lady home.
00:15:53That wins the bet, I think, Dutch.
00:15:56You're a wonder, Flash.
00:15:58Yeah?
00:16:00Well, it cost me a grand to do it.
00:16:03I bought that one.
00:16:04Only worth eight hundred.
00:16:09Well, I'll get most of it back.
00:16:13Take a look at the girl's writing, Spike.
00:16:16Could you imitate it?
00:16:16So she couldn't tell the difference herself.
00:16:20What's on your mind?
00:16:23She seems to prefer an Irish harness bull to me.
00:16:26Meaning what, he said.
00:16:28Oh, so you're a friend of Mr. Abrams.
00:16:30Well, that's different.
00:16:32I'd like to push the ugly mug of him down his own throat.
00:16:35All right, forget it.
00:16:38We've got to think about this job ahead of us.
00:16:41That's just what I'm doing, Dutch.
00:16:43When you're pulling a big job, it's always safer to have some goat to take the rap.
00:16:47Sure.
00:16:48It satisfies the public and gives the cops a chance to save their fish.
00:16:52Right.
00:16:53And this is where I kill two birds with one stone.
00:16:56Officer Mulvaney will be the goat.
00:16:59And Miss Fitzgerald will be...
00:17:01In circulation again.
00:17:03But how are you going to do all this?
00:17:06Easy.
00:17:08Just practice on our handwriting, Spike.
00:17:10And we'll send Terry a billy-doo on Thursday.
00:17:35Sure glad I'm not on duty down here every night.
00:18:01It's too quiet.
00:18:02Yeah, I'd rather be uptown myself.
00:18:06Hello, boys.
00:18:08Well, no pinch tonight, Palmer?
00:18:10No, I think the captain's crazy.
00:18:11There's no one below the deadline tonight.
00:18:13Five thousand bucks worth that have to be towed in.
00:18:29Yeah, the best of them cracked up.
00:18:31Give me my old flivorous.
00:18:33Never let me down yet.
00:18:35Catch wood.
00:18:36Better make the rounds again, boys.
00:18:38Okay, see you in jail.
00:18:40Right.
00:18:40Okay, Flies.
00:18:58See anybody?
00:19:04Passed three bowls and they never give us a tumble.
00:19:06Let's get going, then.
00:19:08All right.
00:19:09Hey, just a minute, buddy.
00:19:13Well, for crying out loud, what are you doing down here?
00:19:15Well, what's the matter with you, Bill?
00:19:17You got the gibbys?
00:19:17Who is it?
00:19:18Why, it's Bricktop Mulvaney from 14th Street.
00:19:21And don't go be saying anything at the station about seeing me down here, or I'll wipe up the floor with you.
00:19:25Oh, you know me, Terry.
00:19:26Yes, I know all of you.
00:19:28So long.
00:19:29So long.
00:19:30Say, what's the gang?
00:19:31Oh, nothing.
00:19:31We've been ribbing him at the station about being in love.
00:19:34He's got a girl works down here.
00:19:35Well, we've seen somebody anyway.
00:19:37Yeah, let's shove off.
00:19:51Number 47, Sisfield necklace.
00:19:54Check.
00:19:54Number three.
00:19:54Mr. Fitzgerald, call the express company now.
00:19:59Number 54, trail 16 brooches.
00:20:02Check.
00:20:02Number four.
00:20:07The line seems to be dead.
00:20:09What?
00:20:13Stick him up.
00:20:14Out of here.
00:20:17Ah!
00:20:24Good work, Terry.
00:20:27Terry.
00:20:28Shut up.
00:20:29And let that be a lesson to all of you.
00:20:32Keep your hat on your mug.
00:20:33You want that Bricktop to give you away?
00:20:36Now turn to the wall.
00:20:37All of you.
00:20:39Start now.
00:20:39Move over.
00:20:48Pick him up.
00:21:03Hmm.
00:21:04Hmm.
00:22:36You kill the guy in cold blood, Mulvaney, and it'll take more than a bluff to get out of it.
00:22:40They must have frisked me after they slugged me.
00:22:43Oh, please.
00:22:44Will you take it?
00:22:44Yeah, we'll take it back to Abrams' office.
00:22:46Captain Simon's in.
00:22:47You can tell it to him.
00:22:47Go ahead, Max.
00:22:48Put him in.
00:22:48Runny, put that handkerchief over his face.
00:22:58Now, we've got you, Mulvaney.
00:23:00You might just as well confess.
00:23:02But it couldn't be, Terry.
00:23:04Well, naturally, you wouldn't admit it.
00:23:06But I don't think it'll be very difficult to prove that you were his accomplice.
00:23:10Now, you leave her out of this.
00:23:14Mr. Abrams, is that the man who led the holdup men?
00:23:18It is.
00:23:20Without a doubt, it is.
00:23:22I've seen Mulvaney many times.
00:23:25I couldn't be mistaken.
00:23:27Mr. Abrams, are you sure that he is the man that shot Peters?
00:23:32Yes, I'm sure he is.
00:23:35I was slugged, I tell you.
00:23:37All right, Bill.
00:23:38Take him away and lock him up.
00:23:40Oh, Terry.
00:23:41Terry.
00:23:42This isn't true, darling.
00:23:44I was framed.
00:23:45I'm going to prove it.
00:23:46He's just putting on an axe.
00:23:47Take him away.
00:23:48I have a few more questions that I want to ask you.
00:23:53Don't let them bully you, Molly.
00:23:54And don't you worry about me.
00:24:16I'm sorry, Bill, but I...
00:24:18I was framed, and I can't prove it in jail.
00:24:24There.
00:24:25Two, six, five, three, two.
00:24:28I'll set it right up.
00:24:29Okay.
00:24:31Calling all cars.
00:24:33Attention, all cars.
00:24:35Mulvaney has escaped in a police car.
00:24:38License number, two, six, five, three, two.
00:24:41He drove north on Avenue A.
00:24:43Block all roads and bridges leading from the city.
00:24:45He's handcuffed but armed.
00:24:47Bring him in, boys.
00:24:48And that's all.
00:24:57Yes, sir.
00:24:58What can I do for you?
00:25:01There's nothing to be scared of, buddy.
00:25:02You know what I tell you.
00:25:03I want you to cut these handcuffs off me.
00:25:06Yeah, but what do they do to me for helping a prisoner escape?
00:25:08You're helping an innocent man,
00:25:10and you'll be glad of it one day.
00:25:12Come on, hurry up.
00:25:12And after they're off, you're going to plug me?
00:25:26I'll make a bargain with you.
00:25:28I won't hide my hair on your head if you keep still about this.
00:25:31All right.
00:25:34Calling all cars.
00:25:35Attention, all cars.
00:25:37Mulvaney reported seen on Lincoln Highway, speeding west.
00:25:40Use special caution.
00:25:41He's probably listening to these broadcasts,
00:25:43so we can't give location of blockades.
00:25:44That is all.
00:25:45Come on, hurry up.
00:25:46Repeating broadcast 47.
00:25:49Mulvaney reported seen on Lincoln Highway, speeding west.
00:25:51Step on it, Dave.
00:25:52We must be right on his tail.
00:25:58Thanks.
00:25:59Thanks.
00:25:59He just left.
00:26:27Mulvaney just left.
00:26:28He made me cut his handcuffs.
00:26:30He went in that direction.
00:26:52Wait a minute, look at your time, people.
00:26:54Do you belong in these parts?
00:26:55No, just this one.
00:26:56What's the next stop?
00:27:00Don't you know what train you're on?
00:27:02Oh, sure.
00:27:04Pitchy train.
00:27:06You've got to go back to Hopewell Junction to get that.
00:27:08Where to, sir?
00:27:15How many?
00:27:16585.
00:27:18Change your fine planes and Chatham.
00:27:25Isbell?
00:27:47Yeah.
00:27:47Let's go.
00:27:49We've got this police wire at Billings.
00:28:15The man in section 9 answers the description exactly.
00:28:18Take a walk through.
00:28:19But don't let him see a look at him.
00:28:21And if you think he's the guy, we'll stop and send a wire ahead for the sheriff.
00:28:24Pine Plains.
00:28:26Right.
00:28:28Now, look, you mr. Gerald.
00:28:29I'm not as interested in the capture of Mulvaney as our friend the detective is.
00:28:33But I'm an investigator for the insurance company.
00:28:36And my job is to get the diamonds back.
00:28:38Are you going to help me, or are you not?
00:28:40I'll tell you again, I know nothing.
00:28:42I don't believe Terry had anything to do with him.
00:28:44Wasn't it because you saw him that you fainted?
00:28:46I didn't see him.
00:28:48Terry didn't do it.
00:28:49Then why did you call him my name?
00:28:50I didn't.
00:28:51One of her men called the murderer Terry.
00:28:54I repeated the name in a maze.
00:28:55Never thought it was Terry in my veins.
00:28:57Yes, you admit you tipped him off.
00:28:59I only told him I wouldn't have to work late after the diamonds were shipped soon.
00:29:02Same thing.
00:29:04Are you in the habit of fainting?
00:29:06No.
00:29:07But you did fainted at the most convenient time, didn't you?
00:29:13Hello?
00:29:13Hello?
00:29:14Yes.
00:29:15Hi, dear.
00:29:19Thanks.
00:29:23Hello?
00:29:23This is Stenton calling by request, Bill.
00:29:27I diddle diddle, the captain the fiddle.
00:29:29What's that?
00:29:30You got him?
00:29:32That's great.
00:29:32Okay.
00:29:33Well, you don't know anything, huh?
00:29:37Then let me tell you something.
00:29:39Mulvaney's been caught and he's confessed and he said that you were in on him.
00:29:42I don't believe it.
00:29:42James, up, girlie.
00:29:43You'd better cut out the bluffing.
00:29:45You're doing the bluffing.
00:29:46If Terry had been caught, don't you think you would have been overjoyed?
00:29:49They just sat there watching my reaction.
00:29:52You better learn to act.
00:29:53Sorry, I can't say the same thing to you.
00:29:55But I'm very glad to know just how clever you are.
00:29:57Well, they both think they're clever.
00:29:59Mulvaney has as much chance of getting away as the well-known dog with rubber legs has.
00:30:07How's this?
00:30:09Feel certain, passenger, number 19 is Mulvaney.
00:30:13Wanted for murder.
00:30:14Meet train at Pine Plains.
00:30:16I hope there's a reward out for him.
00:30:17Maybe there is.
00:30:18Stop at Clinton and shoot this ahead.
00:30:46...
00:30:47аны
00:30:51I don't know.
00:30:51I'm very happy.
00:30:52I'm few ladies, I'm sorry.
00:30:52I don't know.
00:30:53My shoes are gonna kind of laugh.
00:30:54I don't know.
00:30:56You were gonna try it.
00:30:56I can't OVER cuma takich class, ma'am.
00:30:57You never get a laugh at all?
00:30:59You don't know what?
00:30:59You do, I still have tea.
00:31:01I just hope you all cabeça.
00:31:01You hope I don't know if that one is full of fish.
00:31:03Have fun quality, maybe.
00:31:04That one goes oh.
00:31:05What this?
00:31:06I'm gonna do.
00:31:06Why this seems to do...
00:31:07Have fun to do this?
00:31:08And I'll send ran away.
00:31:08She'll listen.
00:31:09As you've bon Zara.
00:31:10Here's another body, poor devil.
00:31:28Look at his face.
00:31:29What was his face?
00:31:30Hey, John, we found the body to conduct in the Bightman.
00:31:40Oh my God!
00:31:47Oh my God!
00:31:53Hey, John!
00:31:57Hey!
00:32:01Hey, John!
00:32:40Well, who are you?
00:32:48And who asked you to come in?
00:32:50If I wanted to be asked, I'd be on the outside most of the time.
00:32:57I see she's read the news.
00:32:59Are you one of the detectives?
00:33:00No such luck.
00:33:02Death did their work for them.
00:33:03I still have to find the diamonds.
00:33:05But you won't find them here.
00:33:06And I hope you'll have the decency to respect the poor girl's grief.
00:33:10I have the decency, ma'am.
00:33:12But I haven't got the time.
00:33:14Perhaps she'll talk now.
00:33:16More than she did last night.
00:33:22Are you ready to talk now?
00:33:25What do you want?
00:33:26You know what I want.
00:33:28The diamond.
00:33:29Can't you leave me alone?
00:33:31Can't you understand anything?
00:33:33Terry didn't do it.
00:33:35And now he can never prove it.
00:33:37He proved that he did do it, you mean?
00:33:39Do you think that getaway of his was an act of innocence?
00:33:42Not on your life.
00:33:44It wasn't, did I tell you.
00:33:45Do you expect to find the diamonds behind the pictures or under the carpet?
00:33:58Molly said she lived with her aunt.
00:34:00Are you Miss Tibbet?
00:34:01None of your business.
00:34:02I make a lot of things my business.
00:34:04In fact, I sometimes act like an old woman.
00:34:06Oh, no offense, madam.
00:34:08No offense.
00:34:08If you think you can get me angry that way, you're Miss Tibbet.
00:34:12And if you're through, there's the door.
00:34:19Who were Mulvaney's confederates?
00:34:21He had no confederates.
00:34:23He didn't do it.
00:34:24He didn't.
00:34:25Come on now, Molly.
00:34:27Terry's dead.
00:34:28See those guys that let him down and get all the gravy to you?
00:34:31I don't know what you mean.
00:34:32You know what I mean.
00:34:34Those fellas have framed him.
00:34:36That's why they called him by his name.
00:34:38You don't want to see them subject while Terry and Cole.
00:34:41Stop it.
00:34:42Don't you think I've suffered enough?
00:34:45Yes, he did.
00:34:47You who killed him.
00:34:48You were your fault, accusation.
00:34:51You drove him to it.
00:34:53Somewhere a real criminal was laughing at you.
00:34:55Laughing at your stupidity.
00:34:57I'd laugh, too.
00:34:58I'd like to laugh, but Terry would joke on him, too.
00:35:08You think he can fall through?
00:35:18Oh, he'll be all right.
00:35:19I'll probably have to do a little plastic surgery on his face.
00:35:23Then you'll be in your element.
00:35:24Well, it's always interesting to try to improve upon nature.
00:35:28I wonder who the beggar is.
00:35:30There's no identification.
00:35:31Well, we'll find out soon.
00:35:33He'll recover consciousness now that I've removed the pressure.
00:35:36I'll be right back.
00:36:06Oh, that's helping yourself, I see.
00:36:11That's my long suit.
00:36:13You're telling me?
00:36:15Well, everything still seems to be under control.
00:36:18Sure.
00:36:21The Dicks have been the ghost of an idea that that was our job.
00:36:25They're still sure it was Mulvaney.
00:36:27But the cops are still watching every fence for the stones.
00:36:30Certainly.
00:36:33Why not?
00:36:33Every time there's a job full, the guys make the same mistake.
00:36:39They want to cash in right away.
00:36:41So they peddle the stuff while it's hot, and they're picked up.
00:36:45I tell you, Dutch, we have the right idea.
00:36:48Handle each job like a legitimate business.
00:36:50And don't expect any profits for the first year.
00:36:53And that's why we're still in business.
00:36:55And never even an entry on the blotter against us.
00:36:59Well, those Abram Diamonds are staying undercover for a year.
00:37:02Okay, with me.
00:37:04Now, I suppose you're going after the dame.
00:37:08Not yet, Dutch.
00:37:10I know women.
00:37:11And I know that Molly Fitzgerald is still thinking of Mulvaney as a martyred hero.
00:37:19Nurse tells me that you're feeling a little better.
00:37:22Do you think that you can answer a few questions?
00:37:23There was no identification in the remains of your clothes, so we don't even know your name.
00:37:33O'Malley.
00:37:35Ted O'Malley.
00:37:36Ted O'Malley.
00:37:37Uh, have you any relatives or friends that we can notify?
00:37:46Oh.
00:37:47By the way, what kind of a nose did you have?
00:37:55I mean, I shall have to build up your nose from practically nothing.
00:38:00Couldn't you get me a photo to go by?
00:38:03I'm afraid he's a little too weak yet, Doctor.
00:38:06Oh, well, I'll give him a classic for one.
00:38:08Miss Jennings, if I thought I had any brains, I'd blow them out.
00:38:23What's the matter?
00:38:23But wouldn't it be a terrible thing to drill a hole in one skull and find it empty?
00:38:28Am I to gather that you're still thinking of that Mulvaney case?
00:38:31I start up in the middle of the night thinking about it.
00:38:33I'm afraid your vanity is wounded.
00:38:35Wounded?
00:38:36It's mutilated.
00:38:38So much time has passed and not a single clue.
00:38:41And a fortune in diamonds disappears.
00:38:43A strange case, all right.
00:38:45I'm going to see that Fitzgerald girl again.
00:38:47I think she must be bluffing.
00:38:53Where's your winter coat?
00:38:56Oh, I sold it.
00:38:57I won't need it.
00:38:58Well, this is your business, Molly.
00:39:00But I'd like to see anybody try to force me to leave town.
00:39:03You don't seem to understand, Annie.
00:39:05I'm branded as a thief.
00:39:06Nobody will give me a job here.
00:39:09Don't forget, you'll always have a home here.
00:39:11Remember that.
00:39:14Oh, that must be the man for my trunk.
00:39:16I'm going to fix you a lunch to eat on the train.
00:39:18Oh, that must be the man for me.
00:39:48I heard about the robbery at the time, but I had no idea that you were supposed to be implicated.
00:39:56I wasn't.
00:39:58You don't have to tell me.
00:40:00That's what I meant when I said I was a judge of character.
00:40:05I also gather from Abrams that no one will employ you.
00:40:09What do you expect?
00:40:10Of course they can.
00:40:12I will.
00:40:14What do you mean?
00:40:14I'm interested in the Alhambra, the restaurant and night spot on 50th.
00:40:22There is a vacancy for a day cashier.
00:40:25You mean you're offering me a job like that?
00:40:28I am?
00:40:28I have the courage of my convictions.
00:40:33How can I ever thank you?
00:40:35By reporting for work at 10 in the morning.
00:40:37Yes, we can leave the bandages off now.
00:41:00Sure, Doc, and that won't make me mad.
00:41:03No, I suppose it probably won't, but evidently you would like to see what I've done for you.
00:41:09That I would.
00:41:10Well, O'Malley, how have I done?
00:41:23Hey!
00:41:24Don't break all my fingers.
00:41:27Well, Doc, that's exactly how I feel.
00:41:29And I doubt very much whether I'll ever be able to again.
00:41:32But evidently you will prove.
00:41:34Tell me, is it as good as the Eraser Hall?
00:41:37Well, Doc, I think it's a bit improvement.
00:41:39And if it wasn't for me head, I wouldn't even know meself.
00:41:42Well, you know, you really could die that and have a little joke with your friends.
00:41:49Well, it would be a joke, wouldn't it?
00:41:53Well, I'm really glad that you're pleased.
00:41:55And the railroad company will be too.
00:41:57You'll probably let them down easier.
00:41:59What do you mean?
00:42:01Well, the insurance adjuster has been here several different times.
00:42:04They offer to settle with you for $2,000 in cash and all your hospital bills.
00:42:09$2,000?
00:42:10Yes, and you won't have to go to court and give half of it away to some attorney.
00:42:15$2,000?
00:42:16Well, that would come in handy.
00:42:17Well, yes, of course it would.
00:42:20Incidentally, here's the check that the insurance adjuster just left and also his form of a release.
00:42:27You can sign that if you care to.
00:42:29It's entirely up to you.
00:42:30Doc, I wonder if I can have that in cash.
00:42:34Why, I suppose so.
00:42:35Just give them toss the check and I'm quite sure they'll cash it.
00:42:38Come in.
00:42:50Thank you, sir.
00:42:50Won't you sit down?
00:42:55You're the investigator employed by the insurance company on the Abrams robbery.
00:42:59Correct.
00:43:01Well, sir, I'd like to write a round.
00:43:03Commandable ambition.
00:43:04But I don't see the point.
00:43:06Well, Mr. Pearson, it's only a hunch but a faith in human nature.
00:43:10Would you mind telling me who you are and what you are?
00:43:13Well, I'm just a dumb bug.
00:43:15Training over here is Archie Nolands and I come from Colorado.
00:43:18I had a brother here on the bus and he got into a bit of trouble.
00:43:21We were pals from the time we were kids and I'm sure that he'd never do anyone any harm.
00:43:26Mr. Pearson, that man was Terry Mulvaney.
00:43:31Mulvaney?
00:43:32Yes, Terry Mulvaney.
00:43:35Now I have a bit of money and I'd like to use it to clear his name.
00:43:38Have you seen the police?
00:43:40No.
00:43:41The cops were only looking for convictions.
00:43:44He was wanted for murder.
00:43:45His death closed the case.
00:43:47Now you have no axe to grant or politics to play.
00:43:50That's right.
00:43:51I'm a private individual, responsible only to myself and the insurance company.
00:43:55And your object is to recover the stolen property?
00:43:57Right again.
00:43:59You may be a pug, but you're by no means dumb.
00:44:02Now your brother told a queer story to the police.
00:44:04But if his story was true, who framed him?
00:44:07And what reason could they have?
00:44:08That I don't know, but it gave you and the cops a wrong stare, didn't it?
00:44:13Oh, thank you, sir.
00:44:14By the way, do you happen to know what I can find this girl?
00:44:17I don't know what address, but her name is, uh, Fitzgerald.
00:44:20Just a minute.
00:44:21I'll look it up for you.
00:44:22Miss Jennings, get the Mulvaney file.
00:44:30Quick, the fingerprint record.
00:44:47Identical.
00:45:05He's our man.
00:45:17As long as you know the town, I'll show you over to Miss Fitzgerald.
00:45:22Oh, well, that's...
00:45:23Oh, that's all right.
00:45:24Only be careful not to shock her.
00:45:26Remember, she thinks you're dead, Terry.
00:45:31How did you know?
00:45:32Because your yarn sounded phony.
00:45:34I watched you closely and decided that your hair might have been dyed.
00:45:37So I proceeded to get your fingerprints in my cigarette case,
00:45:40and they compared exactly with the ones found on the stolen police car.
00:45:44You'd think I wanted to be a detective.
00:45:46You're doing all right.
00:45:47We're going to work together on this case.
00:45:49I take it that's what you want.
00:45:52That's more than I expected.
00:45:53Tell me, how did you work this substitution with the dead man?
00:45:57Well, I heard a couple of the wrecking crew say that his face was all gone, so...
00:46:00when they went for the stretcher, I...
00:46:02emptied my pockets into his.
00:46:04Quick thinking, my lad.
00:46:05Yeah, but I didn't think very long.
00:46:06When I come to, I was in the hospital,
00:46:08and the nurse was reading the newspapers to me.
00:46:10In other words, you woke up and found yourself dead.
00:46:13That's about it.
00:46:14Well, you've awakened to plenty of worry, and we've got to solve this case before the police get on to you.
00:46:19They won't ever get on to me, because I really have got a brother, Ed, in Colorado.
00:46:23Does Molly know that?
00:46:24Sure.
00:46:25Why?
00:46:26Then you've got to remain Ed, even to her.
00:46:29Oh, I could never fool Molly.
00:46:30That doctor didn't change me that much.
00:46:32Well, you must try.
00:46:33You know, brothers sometimes look very much alike.
00:46:36Well, I want Molly to know that I ain't dead.
00:46:38All right.
00:46:38Tell her Terry escaped to your place in Colorado, and you came east to clear up the case.
00:46:42Well, couldn't I...
00:46:43No, no, you can't take that chance with Molly.
00:46:45She might give you away by word or look.
00:46:47And at a time like this, that'd be too much of a risk.
00:46:49So, come on.
00:46:50You're a hard man.
00:46:52We saw Pearson outside talking to a guy.
00:47:02Pearson?
00:47:03All the insurance companies lose.
00:47:05Forget him.
00:47:06What'd you find out?
00:47:07Well, we can get rid of a few grands worth.
00:47:09It's safe enough now.
00:47:11You don't think Pearson means anything?
00:47:13Not a thing.
00:47:14He used to park on Molly's trail, but he's given that up.
00:47:17And I still claim you shouldn't have given that name a job here.
00:47:20Why?
00:47:21Well, flops have brought down bigger guys than you first.
00:47:25Oh, forget it.
00:47:27Pour yourself a drink.
00:47:29Good evening, Molly.
00:47:35Why are you so happy?
00:47:37Now that I've got a job again, can't you leave me alone?
00:47:43Please don't get me fired.
00:47:44Oh, don't worry about that.
00:47:45I just wanted you to meet a friend of mine.
00:47:47This gentleman here has convinced me that Mulvaney was innocent.
00:47:48Terry.
00:47:49No.
00:47:50Ed.
00:47:51Terry told you about me, didn't he?
00:47:52Would you mind if we sat down?
00:47:53Of course not.
00:47:54Of course not.
00:47:55Oh.
00:47:56Oh.
00:47:57Oh.
00:47:58Terry.
00:47:59Come on.
00:48:00you to meet a friend of mine. This gentleman here has convinced me that Mulvaney was innocent.
00:48:11Terry. No, Ed. Terry told you about me, didn't he? Would you mind if we sat down? Of course not.
00:48:19Yes, Terry did tell me about you, but you might be his twin. Now, is that nice? Here, I thought I was much better looking. You talk like him, too. Of course, your hair is darker and your nose is different, but if Terry weren't dead, he's not dead, Mulvaney. He escaped from the train wreck. He's not dead?
00:48:49Are you sure? Have you seen him? Yes. He's at my place in Colorado. Is he well? He's well as I am, and I never felt better in my life. Now, if you'll dance with me, I'll tell you all about him. Oh, I thought you were happy to dance in this jam. I want to tell Auntie. Can we all go home? You can tell me on the way. No, wait a minute. Wait a minute. How about your supper? I thought you were happy to eat. Come on, Mr. Pearson. No, you two run along. I'll stay here.
00:49:17Hey, boss. Kirsten and that egg we saw him with outside was talking to Molly. She's acting up like a two-year-old.
00:49:31Now, don't you get scared the next time you see me. Good night, Ed. And you be careful.
00:49:36Careful of what? Oh, you know, a nice young fellow and a pretty girl and a romantic moon. Must I tell you the rest of that?
00:49:42Come on, Mr. Mulvaney.
00:49:52Boss, looks like you've been asleep at the switch.
00:50:02If it hadn't been for Mr. Aykroyd's kindness, I'd still be out of wood. Isn't that right?
00:50:06That's right.
00:50:08Now, look. If it's some money that you need, I might have...
00:50:11Oh, no, sir. I couldn't think of it. I'm doing nicely now.
00:50:15Young man, you're half in the right place, but I can't say the same for your brain.
00:50:19I'm married.
00:50:20Now, wait a minute. Maybe Mr. Dibbert is right.
00:50:22I'm always right. I objected to your brother as a policeman, but no young man in his senses would ever take up prize-fighting as a profession.
00:50:29Look now. Look now. How about Jean Tunny? He seems to have done all right for himself.
00:50:37As soon as he got any sense, he quit.
00:50:40Just the same. I want you to know that you brought more happiness into this house than has been here for many a days.
00:50:46I like you.
00:50:48Thanks. You know, that goes for the both of us.
00:50:50And if I wasn't in love already, I'd be asking you to marry me.
00:50:53Oh, go along with you. You're just another Terry yourself.
00:50:59Good night. And God bless you.
00:51:07Well, I guess I'd better be going, too.
00:51:10Oh, no. I want you to hear it all over again.
00:51:13Again? Well, my dear child, I told you in the taxi, I told you in the park, and I'm just after telling you're Aunt Mary here.
00:51:22I know. You're a darling.
00:51:24I didn't mean to say that.
00:51:27What's wrong with calling me a darling?
00:51:29I don't know. Something just came over me.
00:51:32I suppose it's because I'm so grateful to you, Mr. Mulvaney.
00:51:35I thought you promised to call me Ed.
00:51:42What's the matter?
00:51:43I don't know.
00:51:45Ed, I think I've known you forever.
00:51:49It's just the way I want you to feel.
00:51:52You don't understand.
00:51:54Please go.
00:52:00I'm sorry.
00:52:01Will you forgive me?
00:52:02For what?
00:52:03I was going anyway.
00:52:05I suppose you think I'm crazy.
00:52:07I feel crazy.
00:52:08After all these months of anxiety, you suddenly appear and sweep it all away.
00:52:13I want you to know how happy you've made me, and how grateful I am to you.
00:52:17You shouldn't have done that.
00:52:26You misunderstood.
00:52:28I think not.
00:52:29But it isn't fair.
00:52:31You know I'm engaged to Terry, and you said you were in love with somebody else.
00:52:35I said no such things.
00:52:36You did.
00:52:37You told Aunt Mary.
00:52:39You meant...
00:52:40You meant...
00:52:41I'll stay in love and war.
00:52:45Good night, Molly, dear.
00:52:46You meant to be angry.
00:52:59Has he gone?
00:53:01Oh, is Mary, what would I do?
00:53:03What's the matter, Molly?
00:53:05Oh, no, it's terrible that...
00:53:07that boy's mannering.
00:53:09I thought sure, sure enough was.
00:53:12He was Terry.
00:53:14Oh, don't be crazy.
00:53:17They're almost dead ringers, it's true.
00:53:20But Terry wouldn't dare show his face around here.
00:53:24There, there.
00:53:39You're sent for me, Mr. Ackler?
00:53:41Yes, come in.
00:53:46Sit down, Molly.
00:53:49I want to have a talk with you.
00:53:52Figarette?
00:53:53No, thank you.
00:53:55You have a good time last night?
00:53:57Yes, I heard some splendid news.
00:53:59Why do you ask?
00:54:00Well, I happen to see you go out with, uh...
00:54:03Mr. Mulvaney?
00:54:05Mulvaney?
00:54:06Yes, he's a fugilist.
00:54:08Oh.
00:54:09A fighter, eh?
00:54:10I've never heard of him.
00:54:11He's Terry's brother from Colorado.
00:54:13He's training with Artie Nolan now.
00:54:16So if it isn't one Mulvaney, it's another.
00:54:19Why do you say that?
00:54:22Look.
00:54:24I've been pretty nice to you, haven't I?
00:54:25I've left you alone and never bothered you.
00:54:28Waiting until you got that crook Mulvaney out of your mind.
00:54:31Now, don't interrupt.
00:54:32I'll do the talking.
00:54:34I wasn't going to say anything until you got rid of the blues.
00:54:38And now, when I see you're happy for the first time,
00:54:41it's with another guy.
00:54:43Don't I deserve a better deal than that?
00:54:45I'm sorry.
00:54:46I had no idea you felt that way.
00:54:48Listen, you're not as dumb as that.
00:54:53Why do you think I gave you a job here when everybody else thought you were a crook?
00:54:58Mr. Pearson doesn't think so now.
00:54:59Listen, Molly.
00:55:03The cops have been on this case for months now, and there aren't any clues.
00:55:08If you think that he'll ever be proved innocent, you've got another thing coming.
00:55:12Even if he were, what's the matter with me?
00:55:15Don't you think I'm a better catch than an Irish harness bull with a brogue as thick as a shillelagh?
00:55:21Now, me darling, it's time you get wise to yourself
00:55:23and start to be nice to the fine gentleman that's been nice to you.
00:55:29Wait a minute!
00:55:30Sorry, Clash.
00:55:36Well, I shall appeal to your reason in a more convenient time.
00:55:46You mean to bust in on the party, but what about the stuff?
00:55:50The doctor's got a deal to unload the whole lot, and the guy's waiting.
00:55:55I think we'd better wait.
00:55:56Molly was just telling me that Pearson is off the Mulvaney angle.
00:56:02What do you mean, off the Mulvaney angle?
00:56:05That's what I want to find out.
00:56:13Sunday, I'll appear at once.
00:56:16What?
00:56:16What's the matter?
00:56:18Molly's walked out.
00:56:20That's the best news I've heard today.
00:56:22Shut up.
00:56:22She must believe I'm an awful sap if she thinks I can't keep her from walking out.
00:56:30Well, maybe it'll be more fun this way.
00:56:35Okay, Oscar.
00:56:37Keep Molly's job open.
00:56:39Want me, boss?
00:56:41Yes, Al.
00:56:43You used to hang around Arnie Nolan's, didn't you?
00:56:45Sure.
00:56:46That's how I learned to use my mitts.
00:56:47Hmm.
00:56:49Unfortunately, this job calls for brains.
00:56:51However, I'll try you out.
00:56:53I want you to go back there and get to know a pug from Colorado.
00:56:57He's a brother of Terry Mulvaney's.
00:56:59What's he look like?
00:57:02You saw him last night going out with Molly.
00:57:04Oh, I thought there was something familiar about that mud's face.
00:57:09What do I do?
00:57:10Spoilies, look?
00:57:12No, nothing so crude.
00:57:14Just get his confidence and win you.
00:57:23All right, Ed.
00:57:24You're shaping up fine.
00:57:25Now, let's call it a day.
00:57:26Thanks, Artie.
00:57:28Say, I haven't seen you around here much before, have I?
00:57:31No, I'm a chauffeur now.
00:57:32I can't get around like I used to.
00:57:33But I like to work out with you whenever I can.
00:57:35Well, let go is double.
00:57:36Let's make it often, huh?
00:57:38Okay.
00:57:39Well, I have to be on my way as soon as I hit the showers.
00:57:43How do you feel?
00:57:44Sure, and I'm feeling fine.
00:57:45There's nothing like a good workout in the showers.
00:57:47Yeah, I'm going to get with you again.
00:57:49Or maybe some night when we have the climb, we'll go places.
00:57:51Well, I'm not much for that night stuff.
00:58:02Say, Al!
00:58:03Who is it you work for?
00:58:05Flash Actroyd, the guy that owns the Alhambra.
00:58:09Oh, that's funny.
00:58:11I met a gal that works there.
00:58:12She used to be engaged to me brother.
00:58:14And boy, did I fall for her.
00:58:16What's her name?
00:58:17Molly Tichter.
00:58:18You mean she used to work there?
00:58:20Well, what's the matter?
00:58:21Was she fired?
00:58:22She walked out.
00:58:23Didn't you know?
00:58:23Well, I haven't seen her today.
00:58:25I can't see why she should quit.
00:58:28I don't know.
00:58:29Search me.
00:58:32Looks all right to me, boss.
00:58:34Bit of a sap, maybe.
00:58:35Admitted he'd fallen hard for Molly.
00:58:36He said that, did he?
00:58:39Yeah.
00:58:40But what do you care?
00:58:41Just give me the word.
00:58:46Go get him.
00:58:47Bring them up here.
00:58:49Nah, you're talking.
00:58:49I'm telling you, I couldn't be mistaken.
00:58:57No two men could ever whistle exactly like that.
00:58:59Funny, though, that he should be working as a shawker.
00:59:03Maybe not as funny as you think.
00:59:13I just got your message, then.
00:59:15Oh, you're not mad at me after all, eh?
00:59:17I mean for...
00:59:19Excuse me?
00:59:25For a kitchen, you're left.
00:59:29Are you going to learn to love me?
00:59:33That's not fair to me or to Terry.
00:59:35I told you before that all's fair in love and warmth.
00:59:38Repeating it doesn't make it so.
00:59:40Molly.
00:59:42Sit down.
00:59:43I'm going to talk to you.
00:59:46You know, from the first minute I walked into that place last night,
00:59:49and laid eyes on you.
00:59:51The heart within me stopped.
00:59:53And then it started to pound like a trip out.
00:59:55Well, that sounds something like love, doesn't it?
00:59:58Not necessarily.
01:00:00It could be indigestion.
01:00:03Once a snooper, always a snooper.
01:00:05That's what I'm being paid for.
01:00:07Why did you walk out on Aykroyd?
01:00:11That he had an ulterior motive in giving me a job.
01:00:13How did you come to meet him in the first place?
01:00:15He came to buy a diamond from Abrams.
01:00:17That checks.
01:00:19With what?
01:00:20Theory, young man.
01:00:22How long before the robbery was that?
01:00:24Oh, just a few days.
01:00:26Then if he bought a diamond, he got a receipt.
01:00:29Yes, I made it out myself.
01:00:31Better than I expected.
01:00:33Then that would give them a copy of your handwriting.
01:00:36Remember the note from you that Terry told the police about?
01:00:39Yes.
01:00:39Well, that would put Terry just where they wanted him.
01:00:43One of them might have had red hair.
01:00:45Or he could have worn a red wig.
01:00:48And if he was able to imitate Terry's brogue...
01:00:50Oh!
01:00:51What's the matter?
01:00:52Aykroyd.
01:00:53Aykroyd gave me a perfect imitation of it.
01:00:56Hmm.
01:00:57And that checks.
01:00:59Somehow, I think we're getting places.
01:01:01Do you really think so?
01:01:03Yes, I do.
01:01:04And you needn't worry about a job anymore.
01:01:06I can get you back with Abrams anytime you want.
01:01:08But you'll soon have Terry back, and then you'll be getting married.
01:01:11Yeah, wait a minute.
01:01:12Wait a minute.
01:01:13What's that crack?
01:01:14Do you think Molly would take a cop when she has a chance to get an open-common fugelist like myself?
01:01:26Maybe I shouldn't have said that.
01:01:27Poor kid, she don't know whether it's Terry or Ed, she looks.
01:01:31Leave it to me.
01:01:38What's the matter, Miss Fitzgerald?
01:01:43Mr. Pearson, you really believe Terry or Mr. Thornton?
01:01:47Why, certainly.
01:01:48Why do you ask?
01:01:48Because I...
01:01:49I don't know whether I should tell even you, but...
01:01:52That's Terry.
01:01:54What are you talking about?
01:01:55That's Terry Mulvaney, not his brother Ed.
01:01:58I wondered why I was so attracted to him.
01:01:59I thought it was his voice, but his eyes were the same, too.
01:02:02Go on.
01:02:02It was when he cut his hand to his ear and said, what's that crack?
01:02:06Then I knew for a certain.
01:02:07I tell you, Terry's come back from where I don't know, but I'm afraid.
01:02:10There's nothing to be afraid of.
01:02:11Terry didn't come back from the dead.
01:02:13He came back from the hospital.
01:02:15I've known it all along.
01:02:17Then I've been the goat.
01:02:19I'm going to give him a piece of my mind.
01:02:20Oh, just a moment.
01:02:21It was all my fault.
01:02:23I insisted.
01:02:24I was afraid that, try as you might, you would give him away.
01:02:27He had no right to make love to me.
01:02:29Who had a better right?
01:02:30Nevertheless, you wait.
01:02:33Don't you tell him.
01:02:40Run along, you two.
01:02:41I've got to go down to police headquarters.
01:02:43Will you see me home, Ed?
01:02:44Will I?
01:02:46In a taxi through the park.
01:02:55Ed, there's something I must tell you, and it may relieve your mind.
01:03:00Well, my darling, you go right ahead and tell me.
01:03:03I've been true to Terry all this time, even though Auntie and everybody said I was a fool.
01:03:09They did?
01:03:10Yes, and it wasn't until he disappeared that I found out what a wretch he really was.
01:03:15Well, that couldn't be so.
01:03:17It's a fact of lies, I tell you.
01:03:19No, the truth's all right.
01:03:21Well, just show me one black guy that would ever say a thing against me, well, against me brother.
01:03:25I can show you a dozen people who bribed him.
01:03:29Girls, you're wrong.
01:03:31Boy, it's lies, I tell you.
01:03:33It's lies.
01:03:36Now, tell me what you're laughing at.
01:03:39Terry Mulvaney, alias, brother Ed.
01:03:42Is there Terry Mulvaney in his face?
01:03:46No, Terry.
01:03:48You're lying to me anymore.
01:03:49Oh, Marry, my darling.
01:03:57Oh, Terry, what happened?
01:03:58Why didn't you tell me?
01:04:00I was making me escape on a train and it was Rick.
01:04:03I changed places with a dead man.
01:04:05Oh, Terry, you poor dear.
01:04:07I was never so rich in all my life.
01:04:11You must think I'm terrible.
01:04:13But it was mean of you not to tell me.
01:04:15Mr. Pearson wouldn't let me.
01:04:16I know he told me.
01:04:19Hey, now, wait a minute.
01:04:36This ain't the place I told you to go.
01:04:38Right, but it's the place you're going.
01:04:41Well, what's the racket?
01:04:43No racket at all.
01:04:45A guy just wants to talk to you.
01:04:47Come on, both of you.
01:04:48So here you are.
01:05:13Well, what do you want?
01:05:16Just this.
01:05:17I don't stand for anybody muscling in on my territory.
01:05:21Meaning Miss Fitzgerald?
01:05:22You've guessed it, Mulvaney.
01:05:26You flatter yourself, don't you?
01:05:30My advice to you is to get out of town at night.
01:05:33Because if you're here in the morning, you'll be in the morgue, see?
01:05:36As for you, Mr. Fitzgerald, you'd better come back to work.
01:05:42If you don't, there'll be a shortage discovered in your accounts.
01:05:46And that, after being mixed up in a diamond robbery, would be just too bad.
01:05:51Just a minute!
01:05:53Throw him out.
01:05:55If he gets noisy, well, you know what to do.
01:05:59But, boss, this guy isn't Ed Mulvaney.
01:06:03What do you mean?
01:06:04I heard him in the cab saying that he had changed places with a dead man.
01:06:07His real name is Terry Mulvaney.
01:06:11That it is.
01:06:12What about it?
01:06:13You want it for murder.
01:06:14What are you doing back in town?
01:06:17Looking for the guy to flame me.
01:06:20Still sticking to that story?
01:06:22Who do you suspect now?
01:06:25Who do you think?
01:06:30Got the car handy, Al?
01:06:32Sure, boss.
01:06:34See them home.
01:06:41That guy knows more than he was telling.
01:06:43Pearson must be on to something.
01:06:45I knew that dame would snag us sooner or later.
01:06:47Who snagged?
01:06:49Maybe they don't know a thing.
01:06:51I'm just not taking any chances.
01:06:56The alley's full of cops.
01:07:13Come here, you mean?
01:07:15Now, wait a minute.
01:07:16What's the idea?
01:07:16What's the idea?
01:07:16Are you all right, sir?
01:07:28Are you all right, sir?
01:07:42It's quite sure it's all right.
01:07:43What do you think I've been threatening at Artie Nolan's first?
01:07:55Everything checks.
01:07:56Did you carry all the credit for recovering those to stay from?
01:07:59Terry, you always wanted to be a detective, didn't you?
01:08:02That I did, sir.
01:08:03Well, the chief says you are.
01:08:05Maybe, uh, you could use this.
01:08:08I'll appear.
01:08:09I think you'd much rather have a wedding ring.
01:08:12You can have them both.
01:08:14On the house.
01:08:15You can have them both.
