00:00:00Thank you!
00:00:30Thank you!
00:01:00I was dictating the wrap-up on the Butcher-Benton package.
00:01:10I'm Lieutenant Dick Chason.
00:01:12This hadn't been a routine case.
00:01:15And to find the answer, I've had to put a lot of little pieces together.
00:01:19It began on the day most cases can be called closed.
00:01:23It was the day before the Butcher was to be executed.
00:01:26He was visited by his attorney, Paul Lowe, in the death house.
00:01:30It was at this first meeting the Butcher-Benton case took its first switch.
00:01:36Well, that's it, Butcher.
00:01:38The evidence against you was so strong that the government had turned down your appeal.
00:01:41You're a rotten liar, Lowe.
00:01:43You started railroading me from the beginning of the trial.
00:01:47And now you're still trying to throw me curves.
00:01:49Look, I don't blame you for being edgy, but get this straight.
00:01:52I didn't double-cross you.
00:01:54I never worked harder for a client.
00:01:56You mean you never worked harder for a client to get him sentenced?
00:02:00You were a fool, Butcher.
00:02:01If you hadn't tried to double-cross Queenie Ellis and Joe Marcello,
00:02:05they wouldn't have turned state's evidence against you.
00:02:07But you had to get greedy.
00:02:09You wanted to keep the whole $600,000 for yourself.
00:02:12Well, the boys got sore, and I don't blame them.
00:02:15It was all your idea.
00:02:17You planned the whole job.
00:02:19You hired us.
00:02:19When you found out I'd stage the money,
00:02:22you decided it was time for me to die.
00:02:24You got those two crumbs to turn state's evidence on me.
00:02:28You stinking, rotten mouthpiece.
00:02:31We both know that isn't true, Butcher.
00:02:34Now, look, what's the sense in not giving me the money?
00:02:37It's not going to do you any good.
00:02:39Well, I'll have the satisfaction of knowing
00:02:42that none of you three crumbs are going to spend it.
00:02:44What about Eva?
00:02:46Don't you owe her something?
00:02:48You tell me where the money is,
00:02:49I'll see that she gets your share.
00:02:50I've got a different idea.
00:02:53I'm going to kill you and Squeemy and Joe.
00:02:57Then I'll take care of Eva myself.
00:03:00You thick-headed ape, you're going to die tomorrow.
00:03:06Remember what I said.
00:03:09I'm going to get you, all three of you.
00:03:13Even for you, Butcher, that'd be quite a trick.
00:03:17So long, dead man.
00:03:21Remember what I said.
00:03:23I'm going to kill you, all three of you.
00:03:26Back in Los Angeles, two men sat in a bar room
00:03:44listening to a newscaster tell his headline story.
00:03:47He played up big the Butcher's threat
00:03:49to kill Paul Lowe, Squeemy Ellis, and Joe Marcelli
00:03:52for their having turned state's evidence against him.
00:03:55Squeemy Ellis didn't seem happy over the Butcher's threat.
00:03:59Neither did Joe Marcelli.
00:04:01But they had figured, once a dead man, always a dead man.
00:04:05But this was one time everyone was in for a surprise,
00:04:09including the entire police department.
00:04:11Have you seen the headlines, Captain?
00:04:30Tell it that he just came in from San Francisco.
00:04:34Butcher's execution is set for five o'clock this afternoon.
00:04:38And like the newspapers say,
00:04:40he still refuses to talk about that stolen money.
00:04:42Well, I still have hopes of coming up with something.
00:04:48That's what I dropped by for, Dick.
00:04:50With Butcher's execution, the department's marking it case closed.
00:04:53That means you'll be reassigned.
00:04:55I've spent a whole year trying to break this case.
00:04:59As far as I'm concerned, Butcher's death is just the beginning.
00:05:03Of course, I can't prove it.
00:05:05but I think that Paul Lowe was the top man.
00:05:08And even though I have to keep working on it while off duty,
00:05:11I'm going to get Lowe, Squeemy Ellis, and Joe Marcelli.
00:05:14Okay, Lieutenant.
00:05:15Officially, I've taken you off the case.
00:05:19Unofficially, I wish you luck.
00:05:21Do me a favor.
00:05:22Keep me posted.
00:05:23Will do.
00:05:25Thanks, John.
00:05:30I headed for Eva Martin.
00:05:32She worked in a local burlesque house.
00:05:35I'm a cop, and my job is to ask questions and get answers.
00:05:39So I decided I might as well start again with her.
00:05:52Come in.
00:05:53What do you want?
00:06:00I'd like to talk to you.
00:06:02Talk?
00:06:03You're a cop, aren't you?
00:06:04That's a good question.
00:06:05I can't even find a three-ton armored car, let alone the $600,000, and I've been on the case a year.
00:06:11I've told you, and I've told you, and I've told you, and I've told you.
00:06:18I don't know anything about the money.
00:06:19I never did.
00:06:20Benton's going to be dead in a little while.
00:06:21I thought it might make a difference.
00:06:23I never knew anything about the money.
00:06:25Call me dumb.
00:06:29I didn't even know Charles was in the rackets until the trial.
00:06:33Now, take it easy, kid.
00:06:34You're on, Eva.
00:06:36You're on, Eva.
00:06:36Come on.
00:06:59No, no, no, no, no.
00:07:29No, no, no, no.
00:07:59No, no, no, no.
00:08:30He told me to open it if he died.
00:08:35Finale, Eva.
00:08:37All right.
00:08:37How about a steak after the show?
00:08:43No, thanks.
00:08:43Not tonight, Paul.
00:08:44I didn't find out until much later, but Paul Lowe, in opening the letter the butcher had given Eva, found a map outlining a section of the city sewer system.
00:09:04And clearly identified was the spot where the butcher had hidden the stolen payroll.
00:09:09I have replaced it with a $50 bill.
00:09:12I guess he figured $50 to earn $600,000 was not a bad day's work.
00:09:16And a few hundred miles away in San Francisco, the case took another switch, which turned the next 72 hours into one long hidden nightmare.
00:09:33Dr. Bradshaw, a distinguished biochemist, was making preparations for a final experiment, which he hoped would lead the way to a cure for cancer.
00:09:43He'd been successful with laboratory animals.
00:09:45The last step called for a human body.
00:09:49And Dr. Bradshaw's assistant quickly made a deal with a local mortuary and returned to the laboratory with the dead body of Butcher Benton.
00:09:56You made a good time.
00:10:06Well, I didn't waste any.
00:10:07Any trouble?
00:10:08No, I just handed the money over and moved the body into your station wagon. That was that.
00:10:12Good.
00:10:13Get a syringe.
00:10:21He's in good shape.
00:10:22Well, I hope so.
00:10:26We'll get other blood samples later. We'll run this one through fast.
00:10:29Right.
00:10:34Now wheel him into the machine and then raise him.
00:10:36Right.
00:10:56Ready.
00:11:05Ready.
00:11:06You mean you're going to give him 287,000 volts?
00:11:09Yes, yes.
00:11:10I'll get the fluoroscope set.
00:11:12We'll check with that before we start dissecting.
00:11:15Turn off the lights.
00:11:15There you are, old boy.
00:11:28If you answer properly and my theory is sound, you'll be more famous dead than alive.
00:11:34Throw the switch.
00:11:35No, not as much as you can see.
00:11:48I'm home, and I'll get to the light.
00:11:55Fire away.
00:11:58Subscribe to the channel!
00:12:28You've brought this man back to life!
00:12:30No, no, no, no, no.
00:12:32The heart muscle has simply responded to a terrific electrical shock, that's all.
00:12:37Yes, but it does prove that the cells still function.
00:12:42Dr. Bradshaw, he is alive.
00:12:46The shock reaction, it can't last.
00:12:49His cells are multiplying now, if your theory is right.
00:12:52We could keep that reaction going longer.
00:12:57But it's worth a try.
00:12:58Get the body out.
00:13:22Get some adrenaline from the supply room.
00:13:24Some amyl nitrite, too.
00:13:25Hurry, hurry.
00:13:26Thank you!
00:13:56Thank you!
00:14:26Oh, oh, oh!
00:14:56Kill Low, Squeamy, and Joe Marcelli.
00:15:00The tremendous electrical voltage that Dr. Bradshaw had given the butcher
00:15:03had increased his cellular structure to the point where he was no longer a man.
00:15:08Dr. Bradshaw's experiment had created a vicious, brutal animal
00:15:12with an almost inconceivable amount of strength.
00:15:16Dr. Bradshaw must have believed the butcher's regained life would last for only a few minutes.
00:15:21Therefore, instead of calling for help,
00:15:23the doctor decided to handle his creation alone.
00:15:27Now, easy, Patton. Just relax.
00:15:30I'm a doctor. I want to try to help you. Do you understand me?
00:15:34You're in my laboratory.
00:15:37The execution was carried out and you were declared dead.
00:15:40I tried an experiment on you and brought you back to life, although I didn't intend that.
00:15:44Now, you've had a great shock. Now, come and sit down.
00:15:47Now, now, now, be still. Now, come and sit down.
00:15:50Take it easy.
00:15:51That's the boy.
00:15:52All right.
00:16:00Careful. His reactions are violent.
00:16:02How do you explain this?
00:16:03Each cell must have multiplied a hundred times, perhaps thousands.
00:16:07His strength is unbelievable.
00:16:09No, no, no. It's too late for the amyl nitrite.
00:16:12I want to get some blood samples, do some tests on him, find out what's happened.
00:16:17Now, get me a syringe.
00:16:17Why won't the needle penetrate the skin?
00:16:44Tissue must be nearly a solid mass of cells.
00:16:49How are we going to get the blood samples?
00:16:51Surgically, perhaps.
00:16:57Now, eat it. Take it easy.
00:16:59You can't leave here now.
00:17:01I'm responsible for your being alive.
00:17:02Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:17:14Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
00:17:44The doctor and the assistant have been killed.
00:18:02But I'm getting to the point of my story.
00:18:05The butcher didn't know how he had been brought back from the dead, and he wasn't worried about it.
00:18:09She knew everything, that he was alive.
00:18:12So, this man started thinking about Los Angeles.
00:18:32On that day, in Los Angeles, I decided to stay with the detective.
00:18:38I'll stay for a little while.
00:18:39I went to the burlesque house to ask Eva to have dinner with me.
00:18:43After all, the butcher was dead, and if I got lucky, sooner or later, I figured Paul Lowe
00:18:49would lead me to the stolen payroll.
00:18:51In a way, that possibility made me even feel better.
00:18:54It's not fair to watch the show from backstage.
00:19:00Next time, I'll pay admission.
00:19:03I take it by that remark, you like my routine.
00:19:06Yeah, you're pretty good.
00:19:08What I can't figure out, though, is why you stay in a place like this.
00:19:13It shouldn't be hard for someone like you to get a job in a class spot.
00:19:16If you weren't a detective, I'd be willing to bet with a line like that, your next remark
00:19:21would be, how about dinner?
00:19:23Well, not exactly dinner, but a hamburger might be a good idea.
00:19:27If you're asking in an official capacity, I can't say no.
00:19:32I'm off duty.
00:19:33For the past six months, all I've ever called you is Lieutenant Chasen.
00:19:37Do you have a first name?
00:19:38Uh-huh.
00:19:39Dick.
00:19:43Give me ten minutes for a quick change, because you just made yourself a date, Lieutenant.
00:19:48I mean, Dick.
00:19:57You know something, Dick?
00:19:59I haven't had a hamburger in the front seat of a car with a guy in a lot of years.
00:20:04Well, from now on, we'll do it more often.
00:20:08It's funny.
00:20:09I always figured a policeman wasn't really a human being.
00:20:13I mean, unless he was arresting someone or trying to solve a case, he was unhappy.
00:20:18It shows you how wrong you are.
00:20:19In fact, everyone on the force gets fed up occasionally with the job they do.
00:20:25Maybe we're more human than anyone else.
00:20:27We see so much trouble, we get to hate the world.
00:20:32But as long as the world's filled with people, they'll have to be men who enforce the laws.
00:20:38What made you join the department?
00:20:40Now who's doing with the questions?
00:20:43No, Honest.
00:20:44I'd like to know.
00:20:45Well, it's really a very short story.
00:20:48When I got out of the Air Corps, I knocked around for a while.
00:20:54Then I went to work for an oil company.
00:20:57One day, I went back to college on the GI Bill.
00:21:00Just before graduation, I noticed all about the police department exams.
00:21:05It seemed like a pretty good thing to do with your life.
00:21:08So, I took the exams, passed, then went on from there.
00:21:13If I ask one more question, will you give me a straight answer?
00:21:16Try me.
00:21:18Am I still part of the Charles Benton investigation?
00:21:22I mean, right now.
00:21:23I don't think so.
00:21:27As far as the department's concerned, when Benton was executed, the case was marked closed.
00:21:33But inside of me, that's not good enough.
00:21:36I don't bother you.
00:21:38Well, the $600,000 is still missing.
00:21:41And a fast-talking underworld lawyer like Paul Lowe is walking around a free man.
00:21:47Someday, no matter how long it takes, I'll get him and the money.
00:21:50Until I do, the Benton case for me is not closed.
00:21:55I give you my word, Dick.
00:21:57Charles Benton never told me anything about the money.
00:21:59Oh, I've been sure of that for a long time.
00:22:03But how did you ever get mixed up with anyone like the butcher?
00:22:08As trouble ever started, it just happened.
00:22:11I had a roommate who used to date Benton all the time.
00:22:15One day, she packed and left for Chicago.
00:22:17Well, Benton carried a torch for her, and he used my shoulder to cry on.
00:22:21First thing I knew, we were having dinner together.
00:22:23And a few weeks later, I was labeled by the police as this number one suspect and Benton's girl.
00:22:29But it was never like that.
00:22:31I made only one mistake.
00:22:33I felt sorry for it.
00:22:35You mean, until he was arrested for the robbery and the killing, you had no idea how he earned a living?
00:22:42I know this is going to sound crazy, but I only went out with Benton a couple of times.
00:22:46And all we ever talked about was Madge, my old roommate.
00:22:50The last time I saw him, he tried to get too friendly, and that's when I told him he had the wrong girl.
00:22:56But like I said, I'd already made my mistake.
00:22:58What about the burlesque house?
00:23:02How do you two fit together?
00:23:04You sound like a lot of other people.
00:23:07I left a small town a couple of years ago because I won a beauty contest.
00:23:11And the first prize was a screen test.
00:23:16After which nothing happened?
00:23:18That's right.
00:23:19Only, it was pretty rough.
00:23:23And then one day, I read an ad about girls wanted for a burlesque show.
00:23:26I auditioned, and I got the job.
00:23:29You know something?
00:23:31It's like any other job.
00:23:33If you're looking for trouble, you can find it even in a school room.
00:23:38Well, when the screen test didn't work out, though, why didn't you go on home?
00:23:42Well, first you have to have a home to go back to.
00:23:45My folks are dead, so Los Angeles was as good as any place else.
00:23:50I don't know about you, but I do eight shows a day, and at this hour, I'm bushed.
00:23:54I know what you mean.
00:23:57What if I drive you home?
00:23:59No.
00:24:00And I'll tell you something else.
00:24:02I haven't thought about anything about tonight.
00:24:05Not even the hamburger.
00:24:06I kept playing tag with Lowe.
00:24:12He made four telephone calls.
00:24:14Three of them didn't interest me, but one did.
00:24:17The one to Joe Marcelli.
00:24:19I watched Joe head for his meeting with Lowe,
00:24:22and for some unknown reason, I began to get the feeling
00:24:24that this case was finally about to explode in my favor.
00:24:27You see what I mean?
00:24:35Well, look at that, will you?
00:24:37I've seen him stack around two legs, but he's doing it on four.
00:24:41Shut up, you fleabag.
00:24:43Well, look who's calling names.
00:24:45Least I ate a squealer, a stoolie.
00:24:47Ha!
00:24:48I warned you before.
00:24:50All right, Harry, that's enough.
00:24:51I'll take care of him.
00:24:52I want to talk to him.
00:24:53Okay, Mr. Lowe.
00:24:54With any future business you've got with this psycho,
00:24:56take care of it upstairs in your office.
00:24:57If he keeps showing around here,
00:24:59sooner or later he's going to get slugged, crippled or not crippled.
00:25:01All right, shut up, Joe.
00:25:02Sit down.
00:25:15I need a shot.
00:25:17Bad.
00:25:18You'll get one after I've talked to you.
00:25:20You sober enough to understand?
00:25:22Yeah.
00:25:23I run out of dough.
00:25:24No wonder.
00:25:25Look at you.
00:25:26You used to be the best torch man in town.
00:25:28How, I don't think you could crack a safe if you knew the combination?
00:25:31No jobs.
00:25:32Nobody wants me since I turned stakes on Benton.
00:25:35That's what you're doing.
00:25:36You taught me.
00:25:37All right, stop crying.
00:25:38I got a job for you.
00:25:40If you can stay off that stuff long enough.
00:25:41You know I can if I've got a job.
00:25:43How much?
00:25:44What is it?
00:25:46It's two grand in it for you.
00:25:47Where?
00:25:48Right near where I pulled the job.
00:25:50Interested?
00:25:51Two grand ain't much out of 600,000.
00:25:55The other expenses.
00:25:56Besides, that money's plenty of it.
00:25:58Now, do you want it or I'll get another boy?
00:26:01I'll do it.
00:26:02How soon do you want me to go to work?
00:26:03Set it up for tomorrow night.
00:26:04Call me before noon.
00:26:07I'm one of the races.
00:26:10One.
00:26:11And that's all the jobs open.
00:26:12I'll do it.
00:26:28Los Angeles
00:26:58He stopped to get his bearings
00:27:00And then he saw her
00:27:03He saw something else
00:27:04An automobile
00:27:06For the butcher that rang a bell
00:27:09With a car
00:27:10He knew by the next afternoon he'd be in Los Angeles
00:27:13And plenty of time to catch up with the three men
00:27:15Who had double-crossed him
00:27:28Well, see, you're a real gentleman
00:27:31To be helping strangers in distress
00:27:32I hope you don't mind me using the babe here as bait
00:27:35Quite a dish, isn't she?
00:27:36But that's what she gets paid for
00:27:38Bait, that is
00:27:38Yes, sir
00:27:39She's a real shaker artist in my outfit
00:27:41Carnival man, myself
00:27:42Just call me Connie
00:27:43Yeah
00:27:45Well, friend
00:27:46We're in a little bit of difficulty here
00:27:48Got a flat tire
00:27:49Brand new car
00:27:49No tools in the back
00:27:50Why, some of these dealers
00:27:52Make my carnival griptus
00:27:53Look like babes in the woods
00:27:54Sound kill
00:28:18Say, who you are with, friend
00:28:21Let it down
00:28:21Let it down
00:28:22It doesn't matter who you are with, friend
00:28:27Believe me, I can do better for both of us
00:28:28I'll make a fortune for both of us
00:28:30An hour later
00:28:48The San Francisco Police Department
00:28:50Sent out an APB
00:28:51Squads were sent to various parts of the countryside
00:28:58The San Francisco Police Department
00:29:00The San Francisco Police Department
00:29:28Roadblocks were thrown up to catch the cold-blooded killer
00:29:42The hysterical girl had described
00:29:43Each squad kept reporting back to central headquarters
00:29:47And each of their stories was the same
00:29:49So far, none of them had spotted the car the killer was driving
00:29:53Orders were given to shoot to kill
00:29:55Because from the girls' further accounts
00:29:58They realized they were dealing with a maniac
00:30:00And they were able to kill
00:30:28Thank you!
00:30:58Thank you!
00:31:28Thank you!
00:31:38These reports sound like they come from a bunch of loonies.
00:31:40They sure do. There it is.
00:31:42Sergeant.
00:31:43Yeah.
00:31:44I want Lieutenant Chasen to look these over as soon as he comes in.
00:31:47Right then.
00:31:52The next morning I read the stories of the brutal murder of the two police officers.
00:31:56I also read the witnesses statement about the bullets having no effect upon the killer.
00:32:04I felt sorry for the witness and I thought about how easily a person's mind can become confused when suddenly they receive a brutal shock.
00:32:13I didn't believe a man existed who could not be stopped by a slug from a .45.
00:32:19Good morning, Captain.
00:32:22You and the rest of the force are going on 24-hour duty.
00:32:26Seen the headlines?
00:32:28With this guy that's running amok up north?
00:32:31The latest report, he's killed two police officers.
00:32:34Made a getaway in a green coop heading south.
00:32:37I've got a hunch this killer is going to be our baby.
00:32:40He could be in town right now.
00:32:42Yeah.
00:32:43You better get started, Lieutenant.
00:32:45Okay.
00:32:47Any new leads on that hold-up, Mike?
00:32:50I think the girl can probably be counted out.
00:32:52If any of the others are wise, they're keeping mighty quiet.
00:32:55Let it ride for now.
00:32:57The whole force is going to be on the spot until we catch this killer.
00:33:01Newspapers will have a field day.
00:33:03We were wrong about two things.
00:33:18The killer was already in our city, and we didn't know he was Butcher Benton.
00:33:22He headed straight for Eva Martin.
00:33:25He went to her dressing room to get back the map he had left in the envelope with her.
00:33:30He wanted first to check his money, then catch up with Lowe and the others.
00:33:33It can't be.
00:33:53But you...
00:33:55You do look like him.
00:33:58Any different somehow.
00:34:03It is you.
00:34:10Why didn't somebody tell me?
00:34:16What happened, Charles?
00:34:19Those look like bullet holes.
00:34:21Are they?
00:34:27There isn't even a mark.
00:34:33There isn't even a mark.
00:34:36YO...
00:34:37I opened it like you told me.
00:34:38YO...
00:34:39YO...
00:34:40I found the fifty dollars.
00:34:42YO...
00:34:43I opened it like you told me.
00:34:45YO...
00:34:46I found the fifty dollars.
00:34:47I opened it like you told me.
00:35:00I found the fifty dollars
00:35:03I didn't know why you left it
00:35:08Paul didn't know why he was here
00:35:17the name of paul triggered his hate
00:35:33he left her dressing room and started for squeamy ellis and joe marcelli's place
00:35:38because he knew with them out of the way paul lowe couldn't open the strong box where the money was
00:35:43hidden he thought of squeamy and joe first he was saving paul lowe for last
00:36:13Uh...
00:36:20Uh...
00:36:28Uh...
00:36:34Hey Eva, can I borrow your eyebrow pencil?
00:36:53Operator, get me police headquarters.
00:36:57Lieutenant Chasen, please.
00:37:02When do you expect?
00:37:04Well, tell him Charles Benton is alive, and even bullets can't stop him.
00:37:13I'm not crazy.
00:37:18Just say to a friend of Charles, he'll know.
00:37:20After leaving a message for me, Eva telephoned Squeamy Ellis.
00:37:36She tried to tell him the butcher was alive, and on his way over to kill him.
00:37:41Squeamy didn't believe her, and in a way you couldn't blame him.
00:37:44Who in their right mind would believe a man had returned from the dead?
00:37:49What Squeamy actually believed was that the butcher, before his execution, had hired a killer to carry out his threat.
00:37:55Are you sick?
00:38:11What?
00:38:12You don't look so good to me.
00:38:14Ten minutes, Eva.
00:38:16All right.
00:38:17Say, Eva, I could take over the matinate trick for you.
00:38:20What?
00:38:22It's easy.
00:38:23Look, Eva, I can do it.
00:38:25Scub-a-de-do-de-do.
00:38:27Oh.
00:38:28I'm...
00:38:30Francine, I just thought of something.
00:38:32Yeah?
00:38:33Eva agreed to let Francine do the show.
00:38:37She hoped she'd be able to interrupt the butcher before he arrived at Squeamy's hotel.
00:38:41Or, failing that, at least be able to warn him to stay out of sight.
00:38:48You wanted me, Captain?
00:38:51Yeah, I just had a run-down on those fingerprints of the stolen car up north.
00:38:55We got nothing on the driver who was killed or the woman with him.
00:38:59Take a good look at these.
00:39:04There's something funny about these.
00:39:06Yeah.
00:39:07The boys in the lab can't figure it out, either.
00:39:08Those are the killers.
00:39:10They were found on the steering wheel.
00:39:13Looked like they'd been stamped in with a steel die.
00:39:15They sure do.
00:39:20These are Butcher Bentons.
00:39:23What?
00:39:24They look the same to me.
00:39:26How do the lab boys explain that?
00:39:28I don't.
00:39:29Their best guess is a twin brother.
00:39:32An identical twin could have the same pattern of whorls with only slight variations.
00:39:36Ever hear of the butcher having a twin brother?
00:39:41No.
00:39:43Even if he did, it wouldn't explain these freak prints.
00:39:48You didn't pick up your message, Lieutenant.
00:39:50Some wacky dame calls you.
00:39:52And she says Charles Benton is alive.
00:39:55And bullets won't stop him.
00:39:56If we buy the twin theory...
00:40:00Who was she?
00:40:01Where'd she seen?
00:40:02Well, she wouldn't leave her name.
00:40:04Sounded kind of hysterical to me.
00:40:05Said she was a friend of the butcher's.
00:40:08Eva Martin.
00:40:09Get her with the Follies and see what that girl knows.
00:40:11Yeah.
00:40:15Some guys have all the luck.
00:40:17I never drew an assignment to the Follies.
00:40:19Meanwhile, the butcher headed for Squeamy's hotel.
00:40:31He didn't seem to be in any particular hurry.
00:40:34Actually, he seemed like any normal person.
00:40:37On his way to work or on his way home.
00:40:39He rode up Angel's flight.
00:40:51Arrived at the top.
00:40:53Scanned the hotel building.
00:40:54And then he noticed the only exit from Squeamy's apartment.
00:40:57A fire escape.
00:41:09A fire escape.
00:41:30We'd tended to get me.
00:41:35Thank you!
00:42:05Thank you!
00:42:35Thank you!
00:43:05Thank you!
00:43:35Thank you!
00:44:05Thank you!
00:44:07The Butcher was figuring out his next step.
00:44:10And as he looked at the dead cop, he thought about Paul Lowe,
00:44:14the next man on his list.
00:44:17Seen Joe Marchelli?
00:44:19Not since last night, when I told him I didn't want him around here no more.
00:44:22Give me a shot.
00:44:35Look, I need help.
00:44:40I just found out that Benton hired a killer to get me.
00:44:44He's after Joe, too.
00:44:46Well, then drink up and get out.
00:44:48I don't want no trouble around my place.
00:44:50You're a real pal.
00:44:52"Drink up and get out," I said.
00:45:051
00:45:102
00:45:121
00:45:132
00:45:182
00:45:221
00:45:242
00:45:251
00:45:282
00:45:331
00:45:35Thank you!
00:46:05Thank you!
00:46:35Thank you!
00:47:05Thank you!
00:47:35Thank you!
00:47:37Thank you!
00:47:53Operator,
00:47:55Get me the police!
00:47:57Police!
00:47:59Forks!
00:48:05Thank you!
00:48:15What happened?
00:48:17A guy named Squeamy got thrown from the fifth floor.
00:48:19He's deader than a mackerel.
00:48:21A customer of mine.
00:48:23You mean Squeamy Ellis?
00:48:25Yeah, that's it.
00:48:27Just Squeamy. No one else was killed.
00:48:29Ain't one enough.
00:48:35I tell you, the bullets never even faced him.
00:48:39He must have been wearing a bulletproof vest.
00:48:41God help us when the papers get a hold of this.
00:48:45Keep an officer on duty here until you hear from me.
00:48:47We'll get a stake out on Joe Marcelli.
00:48:49I'd like to talk to Joe.
00:48:51Lotter, I'm gonna call San Quentin.
00:48:53Suppose Benton is alive.
00:48:55Every available man's been put on the case now.
00:48:57Yes, sir.
00:48:59All right.
00:49:00All right.
00:49:01Anything new?
00:49:02Report on Dr. Bradshaw, owner of the station wagon.
00:49:05The San Francisco police located his laboratory
00:49:07in the basement of an electrical power-receiving station.
00:49:09Bradshaw, what's he know?
00:49:11He's dead.
00:49:12And another man too, his assistant.
00:49:14The lab is a shambles.
00:49:16But now we're getting some action from San Francisco.
00:49:18Benton's body never arrived at the mortuary where it was supposed to go.
00:49:22An attendant there finally broke down, admitted he picked up some quick cash
00:49:26by handing the body over to a man he was unable to identify.
00:49:29The man was driving his station wagon.
00:49:32Blasted man, the chief's on my neck and the commissioners are on his
00:49:35and the mayor's on theirs.
00:49:37Now, am I supposed to tell them that our killer is a dead man?
00:49:40They found a notebook in Bradshaw's lab.
00:49:43It ties his experiments in with a Professor Dwiggins at Cal Tech.
00:49:46I hope to hear from Dwiggins soon.
00:49:48Captain, report from the valley on a hysterical woman.
00:49:51Reports the presence of the killer.
00:49:53There's the location.
00:49:54Let's go.
00:49:56You and your boyfriend had a little fight and he got out of the car to take a walk.
00:50:03You noticed that he walked down toward the sump area in the direction where you'd seen those lights a short while before.
00:50:10What happened then, Miss?
00:50:11Please try to tell us.
00:50:12Well, I just sat there.
00:50:13A few minutes, I guess.
00:50:14I was pretty mad.
00:50:15Then there was a loud crash, like heavy metal, sort of, from down here.
00:50:18I got out of the car to get a better look.
00:50:21I heard Jimmy cry out something.
00:50:22I couldn't make out the words.
00:50:23I couldn't make out the words.
00:50:24Then, down here.
00:50:25I got out of the car to get a better look.
00:50:27I heard Jimmy cry out something.
00:50:29I couldn't make out the words.
00:50:30Then, down here.
00:50:31In a patch of light was Jimmy.
00:50:32And then, I got out of the car to get a better look.
00:50:34I heard Jimmy cry out something.
00:50:35I couldn't make out the words.
00:50:36Then, down here, in a patch of light, was Jimmy.
00:50:40And, coming toward him was this man, big man, lifted Jimmy up, over his head, like, like
00:50:47He did.
00:50:48I got out of the car to get a better look.
00:50:49I got out of the car to get a better look.
00:50:50I heard Jimmy cry out something.
00:50:51I couldn't make out the words.
00:50:52Then, down here, in a patch of light, was Jimmy.
00:50:57And, coming toward him was, was this man, big man, lifted Jimmy up, over his head, like,
00:51:09He didn't weigh a thing.
00:51:11Jimmy screamed, just once, before he broke Jimmy's back.
00:51:18I heard it snap, that far away.
00:51:22Then, I, I started running until I found this house.
00:51:27They let me use the phone.
00:51:30Thank you, Meg.
00:51:35We'll see what you get home right now.
00:51:37O'Malley, see that the young lady gets home already.
00:51:46Paul Lowe, while driving to his office, heard a radio commentator report the murder of Joe
00:51:52Marcelli.
00:51:53And, what shocked him most was when the broadcast identified the killer as possibly being the
00:51:57Butcher.
00:51:58Lowe headed straight for Eva Martin at the burlesque theater.
00:52:02Oh, you gave me a start, Mr. Lowe.
00:52:05What are you doing here?
00:52:06Where's Eva?
00:52:07Oh, I'm taking her place.
00:52:08I'm going to wear her costumes.
00:52:10What's it to you?
00:52:11I asked you, where's Eva?
00:52:12Hey, don't get physical.
00:52:14Well, watch your tone of voice, Buster.
00:52:17I told you.
00:52:18Little Eva isn't here.
00:52:19I could see that for myself.
00:52:20Where is she?
00:52:21She's at police headquarters.
00:52:24That's where she is.
00:52:26Yes, sir.
00:52:27No, sir.
00:52:29Captain Lauder is still with the major.
00:52:31The killer dropped out of sight.
00:52:33He was last seen in the Hollywood area.
00:52:37Yes, sir.
00:52:38We know he's dangerous.
00:52:39Every angle's being covered.
00:52:42Yes, sir.
00:52:43I'll tell him.
00:52:45Here, see how these fit.
00:53:06Low heels.
00:53:09I'm sorry.
00:53:10It's the best our wardrobe department can afford.
00:53:15Any idea how soon the captain will be back?
00:53:21Now, look.
00:53:22I'm going to see the captain.
00:53:23I'll have to wait here all night.
00:53:24Paul.
00:53:27Paul.
00:53:28Charles killed Squee, me and Joe.
00:53:31Joe, too?
00:53:34Benton?
00:53:35He's alive.
00:53:36I saw him, but nobody will believe me.
00:53:38I'm checking it.
00:53:39My guess is whoever killed them is on the trail of the money, Low.
00:53:42Now, maybe you better start talking if you know anything about it.
00:53:46I don't know anything.
00:53:47Did the butcher have a brother?
00:53:50No, no brother.
00:53:52It was Charles.
00:53:53I saw the tattoo on his arm.
00:53:58Look, I demand police protection.
00:54:00Where's the money, Low?
00:54:01You heard me.
00:54:02I demand protection.
00:54:03I know my rights.
00:54:04We put stakeouts on your office and home.
00:54:05Well, that's not enough.
00:54:06It's enough as far as we're concerned.
00:54:14What?
00:54:15Are you gonna book me, Sergeant?
00:54:16Then throw away the key.
00:54:18Give him away the key.
00:54:19Give him away the key.
00:54:20Thank you.
00:54:50Thank you.
00:54:51Thank you.
00:54:53Cone up with anything yet, Dick?
00:54:55Oh, we've checked every hotel, motel, and rooming house in town.
00:54:59We've run a cross-check on every hangout butcher ever used.
00:55:02Net results, blank.
00:55:04This is incredible.
00:55:05We not only discover a dead man turned killer, but it's beginning to look like he plays ghost, too.
00:55:11He's somewhere in this city, and if we have to take it apart brick by brick, we've got to get him.
00:55:17I may be way off, but I think Paul Lowe could tell us a lot.
00:55:21Maybe, but it's a cinch he's not going to.
00:55:24Suppose he had no alternative.
00:55:26You better grab some coffee. Your mind's beginning to play tricks on you.
00:55:30Lowe now, wait a minute.
00:55:32When Lowe came to us for police protection, it was because he was scared the butcher would add him to the list of Squeamy Ellis and Joe Marcelli.
00:55:39Go on.
00:55:40It figures, too.
00:55:41When he slugged the sergeant, he knew we'd book him right away.
00:55:44Oh, this Lowe's a pretty cute character, but we can play the same game.
00:55:48You mean we'll threaten to release him?
00:55:50Well, not exactly.
00:55:51You tell him you realize that he was excited, that throwing the punch was accidental.
00:55:56Tell him we're not going to make a charge, that he's completely released.
00:56:00Lieutenant, you know we can't do that.
00:56:02Lowe made his first mistake when he hit the sergeant, and that'll get him a year.
00:56:05As far as the department's concerned, at least it's a small victory.
00:56:08If my hunch is right, Lowe won't want to be on the streets with the butcher looking for him.
00:56:14And he may talk, and talk a lot.
00:56:16Enough maybe for us to get rid of him permanently.
00:56:18Even lead us to the butcher.
00:56:20If he's frightened enough, that might work.
00:56:24But if it doesn't...
00:56:26No, Dick, I'm not going to release him.
00:56:28I want him out of my way so bad I can taste it, but not bad enough to be responsible for getting him killed.
00:56:34The good thing about that, Captain, is the fact we know it.
00:56:38But Lowe doesn't.
00:56:40Let's give it a try.
00:56:42All right, Lowe. Come on out.
00:56:48I think you'll find everything in there.
00:56:50You're free to go, Mr. Lowe.
00:56:54Wait a minute. Who do you think you're kidding?
00:56:58You arrested me for assaulting an officer.
00:57:01In court, I'll plead guilty.
00:57:03With luck, I might get off for six months.
00:57:06For a lawyer, you're forgetting a very important point.
00:57:09If no charge is made, there's no trial.
00:57:12It was a tough day for everyone.
00:57:14We figured your nerves were on edge, and when you threw the punch, you didn't know what you were doing.
00:57:18I've squared everything with the sergeant.
00:57:20It's all over. All forgotten.
00:57:22Yeah?
00:57:23Why'd you bring your stenographer?
00:57:25Simply because I wanted a record of our conversation at the time of your release.
00:57:30Okay, Lowe. Let's go.
00:57:32Wait a minute.
00:57:33One's out on those streets and I'm a dead man.
00:57:36If you let me go, you'll be responsible for murder.
00:57:38Oh, come off it, Lowe. You're imagining things.
00:57:41You know the butcher threatened to kill me.
00:57:43You set me free, he'll do it.
00:57:45Well, that's just a risk we'll have to take.
00:57:47But the way I look at it, Mr. Lowe, you'll be okay.
00:57:52Look, Captain, I'll make a deal with you.
00:57:54You keep me here and I'll tell you how to recover the money.
00:57:57Maybe even catch the butcher.
00:57:59No deals, Lowe.
00:58:00You'd probably tell us anything just to stall for time.
00:58:03Come on, let's get out of here.
00:58:04Now, wait a minute.
00:58:05Wait a minute.
00:58:08All right.
00:58:11I'll tell you the truth.
00:58:14Start taking this down.
00:58:20I, Paul Lowe, hired Butcher Benton, Squeamy Ellis and Joe Maselli to pull off the armored car holdup.
00:58:31And then Lowe continued with his confession.
00:58:35He told us about finding the map.
00:58:37He showed us the exact location of where the butcher had hidden the stolen payroll.
00:58:41And he gave us a most important answer.
00:58:44The explanation as to how the butcher was able to evade detection.
00:58:48His means of escape was the sewer system that used our city.
00:59:04The department went to work fast.
00:59:06Every police squad in the city was detailed to cover a specific area.
00:59:10Every entrance and exit to the Los Angeles city sewer system of 700 miles was covered.
00:59:16Captain Lauder and I, along with several other squads, headed for the entrance where, according to the map, Butcher had hidden the money.
00:59:23Our job was to stop him.
00:59:25And that made me think of one specific question.
00:59:28When we found him, could this monster be stopped?
00:59:32I, for one, wasn't sure.
00:59:34Everything all set, Lieutenant?
00:59:57City engineers mapped out each possible exit.
01:00:00The squad of officers are spotted at every point.
01:00:03If the butcher can be caught, now's the time.
01:00:05After I talked to Caltech, I called on the fire department for a little help.
01:00:08The professors thought a flamethrower might stop him.
01:00:11Flamethrower?
01:00:12I suppose their boys have had a chance to join our squads by now.
01:00:15See if we have one with us here.
01:00:17Have you thought about what'll happen if this doesn't work?
01:00:20No.
01:00:21I've been praying too hard that it will work.
01:00:50I might not know if this will be the best.
01:00:55Then we thought about how the fuel is getting executed in the house.
01:01:00But I hope this will drive through the trees.
01:01:01You can find a kind of a dangerous mountain.
01:01:03No, it's not that big.
01:01:04You can find a nice mountain in the house of the house.
01:01:05I might not know what we have taken away from you.
01:01:07Oh, you know what?
01:01:08You can find a beautiful mountain.
01:01:11No.
01:01:12You can find a nice mountain.
01:01:13I can find a nice mountain.
01:01:14You can find a mountain at a mountain.
01:01:15You can find a journey.
01:01:16You can find a mountain of the rock.
01:01:17You can find a mountain riding bus.
01:01:18It's not too soon.
01:01:19Thank you!
01:01:20Thank you!
01:01:50This is where we split up.
01:02:17I'll go straight ahead.
01:02:20I'll go straight ahead.
01:02:50I'll go straight ahead.
01:03:20If this map's right, we're off our course.
01:03:23We'll have to backtrack.
01:03:24We'll have to backtrack.
01:03:29We'll have to backtrack.
01:03:34We'll have to backtrack.
01:03:39We'll have to backtrack.
01:03:44We'll have to backtrack.
01:03:49We'll have to backtrack.
01:03:54We'll have to backtrack.
01:03:59We'll have to backtrack.
01:04:04We'll have to backtrack.
01:04:06We'll have to backtrack.
01:04:11We'll have to backtrack.
01:04:12We'll have to backtrack.
01:04:13We'll have to backtrack.
01:04:14We'll have to backtrack.
01:04:18We'll have to backtrack.
01:04:19We'll have to backtrack.
01:04:23We'll have to backtrack.

01:04:28We'll have to backtrack.
01:04:29We'll have to backtrack.
01:04:30We'll have to backtrack.
01:04:31We'll have to backtrack.
01:04:32I didn't have it.
01:05:02I didn't have it.
01:05:32I didn't have it.
01:06:02I didn't have it.
01:06:32I didn't have it.
01:07:02I didn't have it.
01:07:32I didn't have it.
01:08:02I didn't have it.
01:08:32I didn't have it.
01:09:02I didn't have it.
01:09:04The $600,000 stolen in the armored truck robbery has been recovered.
01:09:08Case closed.
01:09:09Well, here are the scientists' comments for your records.
01:09:15I had to fill in a few spots with my old guesses, but I guess that's about the size of it.
01:09:20Did you get any sleep?
01:09:21Oh, some.
01:09:22Not much.
01:09:23How's the girl today?
01:09:24Well, they called the hospital about an hour ago.
01:09:26She'd gone.
01:09:27Gone?
01:09:27Where?
01:09:28Well, she told him she told him she was a working girl and that she'd been away from the job too long already.
01:09:32Quite a girl.
01:09:33Quite a girl.
01:09:33Quite a girl.
01:09:34Yeah.
01:09:35Say, how about that time off I've got coming?
01:09:3848 hours, beginning right now.
01:09:40You know something, Dick?
01:09:52The past 72 hours seemed like a bad dream.
01:09:56That rest in the hospital today really gave me a new lease on life.
01:10:02Now that it's over, I can't believe it actually happened.
01:10:07The important thing is to remember it is all over.
01:10:09I suppose you'll be assigned to another case.
01:10:15I'll have to give up hamburgers in the front seat of the car for steaks in a restaurant.
01:10:20No.
01:10:21I've thought about that.
01:10:23In fact, I decided to do something about it.
01:10:26I started by talking the captain into a short holiday.
01:10:29And just about an hour ago, I got you fired.
01:10:34What?
01:10:36What did you do that for?
01:10:37I figured that being my wife would take up all of your time.
01:10:44Even if I wanted to say no, I couldn't.
01:10:47You're not supposed to say no to a detective.
01:10:50I figured that too.
