00:01:45thank you
00:01:45thank you
00:02:48I don't know if I can go through that again.
00:02:50If God had meant for me to have a child...
00:02:52I have faith.
00:02:55Can I show you something?
00:03:04I copied it from a French magazine.
00:03:08I added a little something on the hem, but I sold it myself.
00:03:12It's even fancier than the ones in Paris.
00:03:14That's very sweet, dear, but my customers are not in Paris.
00:03:20You don't.
00:03:22Well, then we could go to Paris and sell it there.
00:03:25Wouldn't that be fun?
00:03:26Mm-hmm.
00:03:27The design comes straight from Parini.
00:03:36I was hoping you ladies might help me persuade Mr. Osterike that these would make a nice addition
00:03:43to the line.
00:03:45Well, we could pre-cut the ruffle to simplify assembly.
00:03:50Well, hi, Otto.
00:03:52I understand machine 22's misbehaving?
00:03:54The thread's bunching.
00:03:55Small potatoes?
00:03:56Mistress to murder?
00:03:57Otto's gonna be a writer.
00:03:58Only if the magazines say so.
00:03:59A writer?
00:04:00Pulp stuff.
00:04:01Lured examinations of the underbelly of life.
00:04:17Her lips shimmered under the moonlight as Loretta leaned in to kiss him.
00:04:23She pulled the gun from her purse, pressing the snow nose into his belly, and shot him.
00:04:29Nothing for a fancy lady like you.
00:04:41Make it a nickel.
00:04:43Raise you a nickel.
00:04:45Gonna raise her and bump.
00:04:49Expand her.
00:04:50I got one for you.
00:04:53Hmm?
00:04:54New Year's Eve, Sally stands up at a bar.
00:04:57She says, I want you to stand by the person who you care the most about.
00:05:02Midnight strikes, chaos erupts.
00:05:05There's the bartender.
00:05:06He's trampled to death.
00:05:08Oh.
00:05:09Oh, not funny, Fred.
00:05:11Dolly!
00:05:13Come in here, bring us some of that sweet cherry pie of yours.
00:05:17Oh, cherry pie.
00:05:18Let's get a taste of that.
00:05:19Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
00:05:20Enjoy, gentlemen.
00:05:21I love those newcombs.
00:05:22Gentlemen, I love this woman more than life itself.
00:05:38Oh.
00:05:41Dolly seduced Fred as her meal ticket, but now he was getting fatter and she was hungry for something more.
00:05:47And she was gonna get it, even if she had to destroy Fred smile by smile.
00:05:51Somebody woke up on the red side of bed this morning.
00:05:58Can't a sweet wife make her husband's favorite breakfast if she feels like it?
00:06:04I got a rush this morning.
00:06:06Fire's in from New York.
00:06:07Why don't you bottle this mood and save it for when I get home with her?
00:06:11Well, maybe if I knew you were taking me to the speakeasy on Saturday, I'd be like it all week.
00:06:18I'm not bargaining for your affections.
00:06:23If the buyers want a fancy show, I'll take you out.
00:06:27If not, have dinner on the table at six.
00:06:31Hard to be sure when Dolly first got murder on her mind.
00:06:35But she knew if somebody was gonna die from boredom in Milwaukee, it wouldn't be her.
00:06:48Dolly wanted too much from life to stay trapped in a loveless marriage.
00:07:05And you can't keep lightning in a bottle forever.
00:07:07The chic with Rudolph Valentino is playing at the Bijou.
00:07:13Might be fun.
00:07:15We never do anything anymore.
00:07:17I don't mind if you go without me.
00:07:20Annie says they're opening up a speakeasy on Wellington.
00:07:25I hear they have Tanqueray gin all the way from London, England.
00:07:29Laura McCoy?
00:07:30No more of your bathtub gin.
00:07:34No, I don't think we should break the law in public.
00:07:36You meant all over the place.
00:07:37Look what happened in Cicero.
00:07:39That was Chicago.
00:07:40I said no.
00:07:50By the way, we're making a small run of your aprons.
00:07:54Congratulations.
00:07:55How wonderful.
00:08:01My singer's broken.
00:08:02Mmm.
00:08:03The thread is bunching.
00:08:04I was just about to start making a little sailor suit for Fred Jr.
00:08:09Not...
00:08:11No.
00:08:14But I want to be prepared.
00:08:19Could you send a repairman out to fix it?
00:08:24Uh...
00:08:27I would have to do this.
00:08:28I said no longer.
00:08:29I'm going to go look at my adventures.
00:08:30I said no longer.
00:08:31But...
00:08:32I wanted to show my words.
00:08:33I'm ready to show my words.
00:08:34Bye.
00:08:35Bye.
00:08:36Bye.
00:08:37Bye.
00:08:38Bye.
00:08:39Bye.
00:08:40Bye.
00:08:41Bye.
00:08:42Bye.
00:08:43Bye.
00:08:47Bye.
00:08:48Bye.
00:08:49Bye.
00:08:50Bye.
00:08:51Bye, bye.
00:08:52Bye.
00:08:53Bye.
00:08:54Morning.
00:09:09People say timing is everything in life.
00:09:12But Dolly made her own timing.
00:09:14She knew that walking up those steps that fateful day would change my life.
00:09:24Miss... Miss Ulstreich.
00:09:35Miss gracious, I forgot you were coming.
00:09:54All Dolly had to do was walk in the room and I was ready to roll on my back and put my
00:10:00four paws in the air.
00:10:01She eyed him from head to toe.
00:10:29His face beamed with naive complacency.
00:10:33I've been reading a little Pulp Fiction myself.
00:10:47Machines are good as new.
00:10:59You're good with your hands.
00:11:01I should take off my shoes and rub my feet.
00:11:04When she sets those eyes on you, I swear it could make Michelangelo kick out a stained glass
00:11:09window.
00:11:10Don't be nervous.
00:11:11Have you ever been with a woman before?
00:11:18It's not a trick question.
00:11:23No, ma'am.
00:11:24I haven't.
00:11:25Good.
00:11:27Then you'll have no bad habits.
00:11:30Unlike my husband, who can be a brute.
00:11:32This will be more fun if you take your clothes off.
00:11:48This will be more fun if you take your clothes off.
00:12:03It's just a bit.
00:12:06I'll find your clothes off.
00:12:09You're good.
00:12:10Are you going to take off your clothes?
00:12:31Next time.
00:12:34Would you like a next time, Otto?
00:12:37Yes, I would.
00:12:40Absolutely.
00:12:41Good.
00:12:42If Fred asks, tell him you need another part from the factory to finish the job.
00:12:48Got it?
00:12:51Yes, ma'am.
00:13:03I just might have to break that singer every day.
00:13:06I couldn't eat.
00:13:18Couldn't sleep.
00:13:20I showered twice.
00:13:22If I was going down this dark, dirty road, I was going down clean.
00:13:26I'm not so fast.
00:13:28I'm not so fast.
00:13:42Not so fast.
00:13:55Do you want me?
00:14:02Just a thirsty man and you'd buy her.
00:14:04No touching until I say so.
00:14:09First these.
00:14:10Then you can drink until I've had my fill.
00:14:13Dolly worked you over slowly, inch by inch.
00:14:16Until before you knew it, you had no name and nothing left to say but yes, ma'am.
00:14:23Good boy.
00:14:23Good boy.
00:14:24Good boy.
00:14:24Good boy.
00:14:24Good boy.
00:14:24Good boy.
00:14:25Good boy.
00:14:25Good boy.
00:14:26Good boy.
00:14:26Good boy.
00:14:27Good boy.
00:14:27Good boy.
00:14:28Good boy.
00:14:29Good boy.
00:14:29Good boy.
00:14:30Good boy.
00:14:30Good boy.
00:14:31Good boy.
00:14:31Good boy.
00:14:32Good boy.
00:14:32Good boy.
00:14:33Good boy.
00:14:34Good boy.
00:14:35Good boy.
00:14:35Good boy.
00:14:36Good boy.
00:14:37Good boy.
00:14:38Good boy.
00:14:39Good boy.
00:14:40Good boy.
00:14:41Good boy.
00:14:42Good boy.
00:14:43Good boy.
00:14:44Good boy.
00:14:45Good boy.
00:14:46Good boy.
00:14:47Good boy.
00:14:48Good boy.
00:14:49Good boy.
00:14:50Good boy.
00:14:51Good boy.
00:14:51Good boy.
00:14:52What's exactly what I needed?
00:15:22See?
00:15:24Good habits already.
00:15:26You know I'm crazy about you.
00:15:28That's what I was counting on.
00:15:31Fred is so mean to me.
00:15:34And you are a sweet young man.
00:15:40I just might want you every day.
00:15:44Forgive me, ma'am.
00:15:48I'm not so sure how I feel about seeing a married woman.
00:15:52I know it's too soon, but do you think you could consider getting a divorce?
00:15:57And live how?
00:15:59I refuse to be poor like my mother.
00:16:03She was a cleaning lady.
00:16:05That'll never be me.
00:16:08So until you can afford to give me the life I want, or if something were to happen to Fred, God forbid, I'll stay Mrs. Osterrike.
00:16:18That you just focus on making me happy.
00:16:21Isn't that what we want?
00:16:23More than anything in the world.
00:16:27Good.
00:16:31So you don't have any doubts.
00:16:35Take that little cutie patootie seamstress that had her eye on you out.
00:16:42I'm not done with you yet.
00:16:49Should I go out the back? Your neighbor lady gave me the eye the second time she's seen me.
00:17:07Mrs. Clarkson is nosy enough to tell Fred.
00:17:10No, um, let her see you go out the front.
00:17:13We'll figure out a way for us to see each other.
00:17:22My schemes are...
00:17:25Wipe my dreams!
00:17:27Oh, Fred, please tell me you're not smashed again.
00:17:29Floating in the sky...
00:17:33Some people make...
00:17:35God, you're stinking drunk.
00:17:38Alfred, sober at first.
00:17:41...and play...
00:17:42...the game...
00:17:44...'cause I'm always chasing rambles...
00:17:47Mm-hmm.
00:17:50Oh!
00:17:51Oh!
00:17:52Oh!
00:17:53Oh!
00:17:54Oh!
00:17:55Oh!
00:17:56Oh!
00:17:57Oh!
00:17:58Oh!
00:17:59Oh!
00:18:00Oh!
00:18:01Oh!
00:18:02Oh!
00:18:03Oh!
00:18:10Dolly made sure I saw her every day and I was addicted.
00:18:14I needed to see whether this girl was the cure.
00:18:17You know, Otto, some girls think kissing on the first date is a slippery slope to hell.
00:18:24Headlong ride into disaster.
00:18:26Oh!
00:18:27Oh!
00:18:28Oh!
00:18:29Oh!
00:18:30Oh!
00:18:31Oh!
00:18:32Oh!
00:18:33Oh!
00:18:34Oh!
00:18:35Enjoying a good old summer time.
00:18:36Oh!
00:18:37Oh!
00:18:39Oh!
00:18:40other ones love who even knew what...
00:18:44oh...
00:18:45Oh!
00:18:46That's not a slippery slope, Otto.
00:18:56That's jumping off a cliff.
00:19:06Turns out when Dolly is the drug, there is no cure.
00:19:10Out on the back, good for the soul.
00:19:17Freddie, when are you and that beautiful wife going to produce one of these?
00:19:21Anytime now.
00:19:22I tell you, it won't be for lack of trying.
00:19:24I sure won't.
00:19:27Here you go.
00:19:28There you go.
00:19:33How are you, dear?
00:19:35This is too easy for you, isn't it?
00:19:37Go further.
00:19:40Nice catch, Jake.
00:19:44Such a lovely party, Susan.
00:19:46Very neighborly of you to invite us.
00:19:49Jake is getting so big.
00:19:51Uh-huh.
00:19:52You are so good with kids.
00:19:54Are you gonna try again?
00:19:56I just don't know if it's meant to be.
00:19:58But you must get so lonely in that big house all day.
00:20:02I understand you've seen my brother around here.
00:20:09I didn't know you had a brother.
00:20:11We didn't need him at the wedding.
00:20:13Lost soul.
00:20:16Breaks my heart, really.
00:20:18Fred doesn't like it when he comes around.
00:20:25Oh, honey.
00:20:26So I feed him from time to time.
00:20:28I just think that's the Christian thing to do, don't you?
00:20:31Family is family.
00:20:33So my secret's safe with you.
00:20:36I couldn't stay away.
00:20:46I was on a high and I didn't want it to end.
00:20:49Consequences be damned.
00:20:51Oh.
00:20:52May I kiss you?
00:20:53Do you need to kiss me?
00:20:54As if my life depends on it.
00:20:56You are the sweetest in my life.
00:20:58Come on.
00:20:59I want that more than anything.
00:21:04Hell.
00:21:05Dolly could lock you in a cell and convince you it was paradise.
00:21:08If she was that good.
00:21:10I can't wait for you to see this.
00:21:12You're gonna love it.
00:21:22Isn't it perfect?
00:21:24Use your imagination, Otto.
00:21:26We can turn this entire place into our perfect loveless.
00:21:30I don't understand.
00:21:32Well, what do writers do?
00:21:34They don't repair sewing machines.
00:21:37I'm offering you the chance to quit your job and never have to worry about money again.
00:21:42I don't understand.
00:21:45Stay here.
00:21:48Become the writer you've always dreamed and the devoted lover I know you can be.
00:21:54And your whole life you'll never get a sweeter offer.
00:22:02A quiet room and a hot tomato?
00:22:05I must be dreaming.
00:22:08What about Mr. Ostrang?
00:22:11We'll stay up here during the evenings.
00:22:14Be quiet as a mouse.
00:22:16During the day, this entire place will become our playground.
00:22:24Do you have family, Otto?
00:22:27I'm an orphan. I have no one.
00:22:29I have a certain of my age.
00:22:32Well, that's perfect.
00:22:35I don't mean to be insensitive.
00:22:39What happened to your mother?
00:22:41She died in a factory accident.
00:22:43And your father?
00:22:48Never met him.
00:22:53Well, mine left when I was four.
00:22:55So, to hell with parents.
00:22:59Can I come and go as I please?
00:23:02Even in the daytime?
00:23:03No.
00:23:04No.
00:23:05No one could know you're here.
00:23:09We don't want to arouse suspicion.
00:23:11We can't let my busybody neighbors see you anymore.
00:23:14Besides, why would you want to go?
00:23:20You'll have me every day.
00:23:23Just remember my rules.
00:23:24No noise at night.
00:23:27Stay away from the windows.
00:23:29As far as the world's concerned, you don't exist.
00:23:35We're in a gilded cage.
00:23:40I thought you'd be grateful.
00:23:43I'm the one making the sacrifice.
00:23:44But you have a choice.
00:23:48Stay here.
00:23:50Right?
00:23:51Have a blissful life.
00:23:56Or get out.
00:23:57I've never seen me again.
00:24:14Yeah, that's right.
00:24:19Tell me you love it.
00:24:33I hurt everything that night.
00:24:35Just like she wanted me to.
00:24:37Drove me crazy.
00:24:38She wanted that too.
00:24:44Otto.
00:25:02My dear sweet Otto.
00:25:03I've missed you so much.
00:25:05I heard you scream.
00:25:06I wanted to bust down there and rescue you.
00:25:08You're damsel in distress.
00:25:10You're my guardian angel.
00:25:14I was so upset I couldn't close my eyes for hours.
00:25:18I'm sorry, darling.
00:25:20Let me make it up to you.
00:25:23Take off my blouse.
00:25:36I'm scared.
00:25:45Oh.
00:25:51Oh.
00:25:52Maybe I should have suspected something and beat it the hell out of there.
00:25:55But when Dolly kissed me suddenly, I found myself in another country without my shorts on and the biggest grin my face could handle.
00:26:02my face could handle. I still have no idea whether she loved me or was playing me for a sap.
00:26:09But she made me so dizzy I didn't much care either way. I've been hungry all my life, so
00:26:14scraps from Dolly's table tasted better than anything I'd had before or since. I don't know
00:26:19if you'd call it love, but I needed her like other folks need to breathe. But it's a great comfort
00:26:23knowing that my lover is willing to fight for me. Are you writing today?
00:26:32You're my muse.
00:26:38Write something special for me. That way, someday when we're living in Hollywood and you're a famous
00:26:46author and we're living a glamorous life, the whole world will know I inspired you.
00:26:58I'm going to the market. Can I get you anything? I don't...
00:27:02I don't even know what you like. Whenever you decide.
00:27:06Good answer.
00:27:13You can use the house. Stay away from the windows. Mrs. Clarkson has such a busy body.
00:27:20I needed a story that said, stick with me. I'm going places. If I couldn't cut it as a writer,
00:27:29she'd toss that page with my name on it at the bottom of the wastebasket and I'd be back
00:27:33to fixing bobbins. So not much riding on a story except the rest of my life.
00:27:40I began to dream of the security that comes from a steady roof over my head and a few things
00:27:44to call mine.
00:27:51For Dolly, maybe I was just another possession like a new coat that she'd wear around a few
00:27:56times and give me to the poor. But for me, all she had to do was bat her eyelashes and it was like
00:28:04a theater curtain opening on the greatest love story ever written. I knew I had to deliver if I
00:28:11wanted to play on that stage with her.
00:28:13Edward and Louise were strangers to the sordid nightlife of the city.
00:28:26Fate brought them together in the rusty scupper where they both took jobs rather than starve.
00:28:31There, in the midst of frenzied nightclub gaiety and human corruption, they found in each other
00:28:37the love they were made for. Honest, strong, and beautiful. Yet in time, they too would be infected
00:28:47with the passion of easy money.
00:28:53Oh no, don't stop.
00:28:56That's all I have so far.
00:28:58Do you like it?
00:28:59I know I'm no Georgette Heyer or Dennis McHale.
00:29:04You finish that story with Edward and Louise and I'll get it published.
00:29:20This smells delicious. Where'd you learn to cook like this?
00:29:24Been on my own. Let's cook or starve.
00:29:26Yeah.
00:29:28Home.
00:29:32It's six. Get upstairs. It's time to be the dutiful wife.
00:29:35Let me serve it to him.
00:29:36No, no, no. Get upstairs. Come on.
00:29:50Dolly!
00:29:55Dinner's all ready.
00:29:56How was your day?
00:29:57Nothing you need to worry about. I gave those buyers a taste of Milwaukee horse trading.
00:30:04Sure you did.
00:30:07Dinner smells great. When we first met, you were the worst cook I ever met.
00:30:11You finally learned.
00:30:14Let's eat.
00:30:15I'm starving.
00:30:17Just trying to be the best wife I can be.
00:30:19And ever grateful for your bounty.
00:30:22Amen.
00:30:22Amen.
00:30:22Amen.
00:30:22Amen.
00:30:22Amen.
00:30:26This looks delectable.
00:30:31I'm always looking for new recipes to make you happy.
00:30:34Keep cooking like that. I won't have to go out to eat.
00:30:37I can't remember the last time you took me out to dinner.
00:30:44Or anywhere else for that matter.
00:30:46I work hard all day for the both of us and come home tired.
00:30:51The last thing I want to do is go out again.
00:30:53It's funny.
00:31:02It's the first thing I want to do.
00:31:11I'll take you out.
00:31:12Show you out.
00:31:13Really, Fred?
00:31:14If that will satisfy you.
00:31:18It would.
00:31:22Can I have some of that cherry pie I love?
00:31:27It's all gone.
00:31:30Half pie on the kitchen counter I left this morning.
00:31:33Unless you're eating for two, don't go getting fed on me.
00:31:38Take a look in the mirror, Fred Osterich.
00:31:42Pretty soon we'll have to have your suits made by Omar the tent maker.
00:31:45Don't smart mouth me.
00:31:55Somehow years flew by and that attic became my real home.
00:31:58The only home I've ever known.
00:32:01Dolly kept us playing our parts like some strange family.
00:32:04This is trash.
00:32:05Why are you reading?
00:32:07It's trash.
00:32:08Like all families, we had our share of secrets and lies.
00:32:13Dolly was insatiable and it took both Fred and me to keep her happy.
00:32:18He paid the bills and I kept a smile on her face,
00:32:21which kept the whole arrangement from blowing up in our faces.
00:32:24Fred and me were some kind of partners.
00:32:39I was the silent one.
00:32:41Sure, there were close calls, but we dodged them.
00:32:45To tell you the truth, I got so comfortable being Dolly Stastoway lover.
00:32:48Okay, her sex slave.
00:32:53I forgot what life was like in the real world.
00:32:55But that world was going crazy and we couldn't hide from it forever.
00:33:08Fred's business took a beating.
00:33:13Dolly figured if our golden goose wasn't going to lay more golden eggs,
00:33:17she'd find a new goose.
00:33:19Dolly brought the outside world to me.
00:33:23Newspapers, books, latest magazines.
00:33:25But I was like a bat in a cave, more comfortable in darkness than light.
00:33:29It is a lovely day.
00:33:32Yeah, I wouldn't know.
00:33:34Winter or summer, it's all the same in here.
00:33:36Well, not today.
00:33:38Today we're celebrating.
00:33:40Your 21st birthday.
00:33:42You know I don't know my birthday.
00:33:43Then why not today?
00:33:46You've been my sweet, loving Otto for the last four years.
00:33:52Happy anniversary.
00:33:55Our anniversary.
00:33:57Mm-hmm.
00:34:02Do you want to help me blow him out?
00:34:11There's something else.
00:34:13Loveness story seems to think you're a damn fine writer.
00:34:22They're publishing my story?
00:34:26Who inspires you?
00:34:28You do, my gorgeous muse.
00:34:31The first of many, I'm sure.
00:34:42I'm so proud of you.
00:34:46You planned a special celebration.
00:34:50Serious excese number 47 today?
00:34:52Oh, no, no.
00:34:53No, we're going out.
00:34:55I told Fred my mom was sick and that I was going to have to go see her all day,
00:34:59maybe even all evening.
00:35:02Is she really sick?
00:35:04I don't know.
00:35:08It was our first night out together and I didn't care who saw us.
00:35:13I was a damn published writer now.
00:35:15Coca-Cola or Pepsi?
00:35:16But in my head...
00:35:18Tangeray.
00:35:19Maybe I never left the attic.
00:35:20I can't wait.
00:35:32Cheers!
00:35:45Let's drink.
00:35:46Dolly gave me everything and I couldn't help wondering what she'd stolen from me in that
00:36:05love nest. I heard the stories about prisoners being released from jail or soldiers coming
00:36:10home from war. A normal life was too much for them now. I was terrified that this was happening
00:36:17to me.
00:36:37Hey, you're shaking. What's wrong?
00:36:40I want you home. Can we go home?
00:36:43Of course. Of course. Let's go. Come on.
00:37:00I have to know if there's any hope for us.
00:37:03There's always hope, Otto.
00:37:10We're free to do whatever we want every night. Like a real husband and wife.
00:37:16Is that a proposal?
00:37:23That lamb stew. It's Fred's favorite.
00:37:24You know that lamb is my favorite.
00:37:30That lamb stew. It's Fred's favorite.
00:37:37You know that lamb is my favorite. So what are you thinking of bringing it to your mother's?
00:37:44I thought it would help build up her strength. Okay, she can't afford to eat the way she should. She was very grateful for your kindness.
00:37:51What about my strength?
00:37:52What about my strength? That's what you should be concerned with. If I got sick, God forbid, I could be the one starving.
00:38:05You would never let your loving wife starve. You would never let your loving wife starve. I assume you have life insurance.
00:38:12Of course I do. I promise I do. I promise I'll make it again soon, okay? The butcher knows to call me when Fresh Lamb comes in.
00:38:33I promise I'll make it again soon, okay?
00:38:37The butcher knows to call me when Fresh Lamp comes in.
00:38:46As long as I'm paying the bill, I'm your priority.
00:38:55I'm sorry.
00:38:57I hope your mother feels better.
00:38:59Let me make it up to you.
00:39:00Or I won't be taking you to the Wisconsin Club tomorrow night.
00:39:08The Wisconsin Club is the premier club in the city.
00:39:11All the best people will be there, so I want to draw attention, but not too much attention.
00:39:15No matter what you wear, everything around the place will be on you.
00:39:18Isn't that your way of saying this is too revealing?
00:39:22I hate that everyone will watch you dance but me.
00:39:26You get to see something they never get to see.
00:39:30And you get to do things they only dream about.
00:39:41Golly!
00:39:43Go.
00:39:44Get out of the bed.
00:39:45Hi, darling.
00:39:51How was your day?
00:39:52Full of triumphs?
00:39:54Nothing you need to worry about.
00:39:56Your only concern is to be beautiful tonight.
00:39:58I want to see the envy in their eyes.
00:40:01This should help.
00:40:03I'll be dazzling.
00:40:16I'll make you proud, I promise.
00:40:17I have no doubt.
00:40:20We leave in 30.
00:40:22Oh!
00:40:28Thank you, Fred.
00:40:29I'm going to show off my beautiful wife and her gorgeous neckings.
00:40:35Dolly was mine.
00:40:37I loved her.
00:40:38So every time she was with Fred, it felt like she was cheating on me.
00:40:45It drove me crazy.
00:40:47Just about crazy enough to blow the whole thing wide open.
00:40:51Maybe that's what she wanted.
00:40:52Thank you, sir.
00:41:01Thank you, man.
00:41:03Here we go.
00:41:06Fred.
00:41:10Look at them staring.
00:41:18They can't take their eyes off you.
00:41:20But I only have eyes for you.
00:41:22Come on, Fred.
00:41:23Let's dance.
00:41:25What?
00:41:25No.
00:41:27Come on.
00:41:32I don't want to dance.
00:41:34Oh, come on.
00:41:34That's why we're here.
00:41:35You want to show me off, so show me off.
00:41:37Okay.
00:41:38Okay.
00:41:39May I have this dance?
00:41:41I don't see why not.
00:41:52Roy Klum, Mrs. Osterreich.
00:42:07I handle your family's insurance.
00:42:09What?
00:42:10And are you taking good care of us, Mr. Klum?
00:42:12Please, call me Roy.
00:42:15Poor Fred.
00:42:17Who makes you say that?
00:42:18I bet he can't decide whether to show you off around the town, or keep you locked away for his eyes only.
00:42:25Oh.
00:42:25And what advice would you give him?
00:42:28I'd keep you all to myself.
00:42:31I'm afraid that wouldn't be enough.
00:42:35My turn, Klum.
00:42:36This is so much fun.
00:42:38Sure thing, Fred.
00:42:39We are leaving.
00:42:54You familiar did me.
00:42:56How do you think I feel getting dragged off the dance floor like a seven-year-old?
00:42:59You look like I didn't do worse.
00:43:01It's a dance, Fred.
00:43:02I like dancing.
00:43:03I'm sorry that you hate dancing so much.
00:43:05You don't have a flirt with every man in this club.
00:43:07You like when they stare at me, because it makes you feel like a big man.
00:43:11You don't have to enjoy it so much.
00:43:12It's harmless fun.
00:43:14I come home to you at the end of the night.
00:43:15Isn't that enough?
00:43:17Your hat, sir?
00:43:22No.
00:43:22Your coat, ma'am.
00:43:24Good evening.
00:43:28Let's go to bed, Dad.
00:43:29I'll make it up to you.
00:43:31What the hell?
00:43:33Stay here.
00:43:37Let's go.
00:43:58Let's go.
00:43:59Let's go.
00:44:00Maybe she wanted Fred to catch me.
00:44:19Maybe she wanted to see if I had the stones to stand up for the woman I loved.
00:44:23All I know is Dolly had her hooks into me so deep, I knew I had to do something or spend
00:44:29the rest of my life hiding in the woods like some mangy dog.
00:44:32Hey, hey kid, you're awful young, but you look like you sure need a belt.
00:44:53If a beautiful woman made you her sex slave and knocked you in her attic every night, would
00:45:06you stay or leave?
00:45:08If you leave, can it take your place?
00:45:20Maybe a smarter guy would have run, but I wasn't smart enough for that.
00:45:25Don't ever do that to me again.
00:45:32I don't know what Fred would do to us if he found out.
00:45:35I'm not going to roll over on my back with my paws in the air for Fred.
00:45:41I know we don't belong with the dull, bossy friends of the world.
00:45:48We belong in the sunshine.
00:45:52The kind of people we dream about.
00:45:56Monday will be there.
00:46:01I know it.
00:46:03Will you keep this for me?
00:46:17I would just feel so much safer.
00:46:20Alarm bells should have rung right then.
00:46:23Maybe they did, but I couldn't hear them.
00:46:26Besides, I was either stay here in my lover's arms or swap sips with that old buzzard in the park.
00:46:31That ain't much of a choice.
00:46:33I'm worried about Fred.
00:46:35He seems to be having DTs lately.
00:46:37He's been forgetting things ever since the crash.
00:46:42Maybe he's drinking too much.
00:46:45Maybe something else I can't possibly know.
00:46:48Has he seen a doctor?
00:46:50You know Fred.
00:46:53Won't waste his time on doctors.
00:46:55But I'm scared for him.
00:47:00Should he become incapacitated or die?
00:47:08I just want to know his life insurance will protect us.
00:47:16Your husband pays his premiums like clockwork.
00:47:20Trust that you're amply protected.
00:47:27Whether he's drooling in his soup or in the ground.
00:47:32So don't you worry.
00:47:34I assure you.
00:47:38It's such a relief.
00:47:41Dolly was playing chess and me and Fred were her pawns.
00:47:45He had some crazy notion that he was still in charge.
00:47:47So he figured a night out on the town and all would be forgiven.
00:47:51Maybe he wasn't that smart either.
00:47:54Cause Dolly ain't exactly the forgiving type.
00:47:56You're flirting already.
00:47:58I'm looking around the place.
00:48:00God.
00:48:01It's always something with you. Can't we just enjoy ourselves?
00:48:17Keep your eyes on me.
00:48:20Why don't you put horse blinders on me?
00:48:24I'll think about it.
00:48:25Waiter.
00:48:29I'll have the, uh, cast the rip chin.
00:48:32The smoked pork chop.
00:48:33And she'll have the, uh, muchenweister.
00:48:35Make mine's a sour clout and spatzel.
00:48:41That was Marlene Dietrich's favorite.
00:48:44Oh.
00:48:45I have news for you.
00:48:56You're never gonna be a famous actress.
00:49:01You're never gonna have sex with Rudolph Valentino.
00:49:05And you're never gonna move to Hollywood.
00:49:07Oh.
00:49:08So why can't you just be here with me in Milwaukee?
00:49:15What?
00:49:20She's up.
00:49:21If I thought life with you was all there was or ever would be,
00:49:33I'd drink myself to death.
00:49:38It's too bad.
00:49:40It's probish.
00:49:44You'll just have to live with it.
00:49:51So where are you going?
00:49:52Where are you going?
00:49:53Stop embarrassing me!
00:49:54You get back here!
00:49:55Stop that!
00:49:56You know what?
00:49:57Count your blessings!
00:49:59Depression!
00:50:00Rah, rah, rah!
00:50:01You were supposed to be a good wife!
00:50:03Instead you're going to get to him!
00:50:05Well, I didn't strike gold.
00:50:06I got mud so the chokes on me!
00:50:08You were supposed to give me a son!
00:50:10But you couldn't even do that!
00:50:11Well, that chokes on you because I've been wearing a diaphragm this entire time!
00:50:13What?
00:50:14I would never bring a child into the sun for strength!
00:50:16Get your hands off of her!
00:50:26Who the hell are you?
00:50:27I'm her lover.
00:50:29Every day while you're at work, we're at play.
00:50:34Is this true?
00:50:38I've been living in your attic for six years.
00:50:40I've heard every stupid word that you say and every imacillic thing that you do.
00:50:46I took care of you.
00:50:47I loved you.
00:50:48You didn't love me.
00:50:49You just wanted to own me.
00:50:50No!
00:50:51No!
00:50:52No!
00:50:53No!
00:50:54No!
00:50:55No!
00:50:56No!
00:50:57No!
00:50:58No!
00:50:59No!
00:51:00No!
00:51:01No!
00:51:03No!
00:51:04No!
00:51:05No!
00:51:06No!
00:51:07No!
00:51:08No!
00:51:09No!
00:51:10No!
00:51:11No!
00:51:12No!
00:51:13No!
00:51:14No!
00:51:15No!
00:51:16No!
00:51:17No!
00:51:27No!
00:51:28No!
00:51:29I won't!
00:51:30I won't!
00:51:31Are you hurt?
00:51:32We don't have much time.
00:51:33The neighbors will have heard the shot.
00:51:34What are you doing?
00:51:35Don't worry, I've been here before.
00:51:36How?
00:51:37And the pulp shit in my mind a thousand times!
00:51:39Give me your necklace!
00:51:40Okay!
00:51:41Okay!
00:51:42I'm sorry to do this to you, my love.
00:51:47What?
00:51:48Just trust me.
00:51:49Okay.
00:51:50Get out to ten and start screaming and don't stop until the cops arrive, okay?
00:51:54Okay.
00:52:05Get out of here!
00:52:08I heard a shot and called you right away.
00:52:12Oh, my God, he's dead.
00:52:14Follow me.
00:52:15Check him out.
00:52:18Help!
00:52:23He took his watch and my necklace.
00:52:26Calm down, ma'am.
00:52:27Come on, ma'am.
00:52:28Let's go.
00:52:28The problem might still be in the neighborhood.
00:52:30Can you describe it?
00:52:31Uh, some kind of bump.
00:52:33Maybe 40, I don't...
00:52:35He had, um, filthy hair and a filthy beard and ragged clothes,
00:52:38and he was really twitchy, and I told Fred not to fight him,
00:52:41that he was my protector,
00:52:43and he wasn't going to let somebody come in here and hurt me,
00:52:44so he fought him.
00:52:46The guy steals a watch and a diamond necklace,
00:52:48but he doesn't touch the cash in the wallet?
00:52:51It's odd.
00:52:55Well, what can I say, Detective?
00:52:56I mean, it's not like she locked herself in the closet.
00:52:58Dolly, Dolly, it's me.
00:53:08Dolly, Dolly, it's me.
00:53:12Dolly.
00:53:17Dolly.
00:53:24You know exactly what to do.
00:53:25Real murder isn't as neat as my stories.
00:53:27Wait, but you saved us.
00:53:29I have a feeling it's going to keep chasing after us.
00:53:31What, the cops?
00:53:32They can't see us together.
00:53:33No, no, no.
00:53:34I can't do this without you.
00:53:35They can't even know about me.
00:53:36That's how they'll get us.
00:53:36No, please don't go.
00:53:37It's not safe.
00:53:39You will always be safe with me.
00:53:41Okay, as soon as the insurance money comes,
00:53:42we're going to go to Los Angeles,
00:53:43and we're going to live the lives that we've always dreamed.
00:53:46If Dolly was scared,
00:53:48she'd never let that detective know it.
00:53:51She marched in there like she was doing them a favor.
00:53:56No, no.
00:53:57It was scragglier on the sides
00:53:59and longer in the front.
00:54:03A big shot like Mr. Osterick gets killed
00:54:04and the guys upstairs want the juicy details.
00:54:07You understand.
00:54:08Of course, detective.
00:54:10It's all about sex lives and bank accounts.
00:54:12That's it.
00:54:13A lady just doesn't talk about such sordid things.
00:54:19That's not bad.
00:54:22It's unfortunate you can't get this stench in that drawing.
00:54:24You smell like a cesspool.
00:54:29Do you know how most murder victims die, Mrs. Osterick?
00:54:33Gunshots, I'm assuming?
00:54:37In my experiences,
00:54:38it's usually at the hands of loved ones.
00:54:39Fred and I were more in love than ever.
00:54:44Even after all this time.
00:54:47Did you fight?
00:54:49Never.
00:54:51You hear that, Amendorf?
00:54:53Married couple that never fought.
00:54:55I wouldn't know.
00:54:57Apparently, my husband was more understanding
00:54:58than either of you.
00:55:01Let's say the late Mr. Osterick
00:55:03was a model husband
00:55:04and you the model wife.
00:55:06Did he have enemies outside the home?
00:55:10He was a tough businessman.
00:55:12But honest.
00:55:14He was a good friend and a good boss.
00:55:16Everybody loved him.
00:55:18Not everybody.
00:55:24No such thing as a burglary gone bad in this town.
00:55:27Not in my 20 years on the force.
00:55:32Do you still need me to be here, detective?
00:55:35You going someplace?
00:55:37Home.
00:55:39I just want to go home.
00:55:47You're free to go, Mrs. Osterick.
00:55:58Something doesn't smell right.
00:55:59The cops still snooping around?
00:56:10They don't think our marriage was hearts and roses,
00:56:13but they don't think I killed him.
00:56:15What about the insurance company?
00:56:17I put their minds at ease
00:56:19and I'll keep them at ease.
00:56:21Good.
00:56:23So I'm a free woman?
00:56:24A free and rich woman.
00:56:28Oh, she was good.
00:56:30Poor bastard never knew it hit him.
00:56:32To Fred.
00:56:34Who liked his gin warm and his women cold.
00:56:37Never got my hot and cold mixed up like that.
00:56:39My husband was more generous than I thought.
00:57:00You know you're in great danger.
00:57:01How do you figure?
00:57:03You're rich.
00:57:05Beautiful.
00:57:06Sexy as hell.
00:57:08The wolves will be crawling out of their holes to eat you up.
00:57:11And are you the first wolf?
00:57:15No.
00:57:16No, I'm your insurance policy.
00:57:18Hmm.
00:57:18Let me show you the town
00:57:21so the wolves here are protected.
00:57:25Patience, Roy.
00:57:27I'm a grieving widow.
00:57:29Wouldn't be right to see me out in the clubs in Wisconsin.
00:57:41You're my protector, Roy.
00:57:43I need you.
00:57:46Roy's here, baby.
00:57:48I like having you around.
00:58:03Maybe you'll keep me from doing foolish things.
00:58:06How foolish?
00:58:07Well, after Fred died,
00:58:11I was afraid the robber was going to kill me,
00:58:13so I bought a gun from a pawn shop,
00:58:16but just having it around makes me jumpy.
00:58:21A luger.
00:58:22You don't need that.
00:58:24Roy's here now.
00:58:26So you'll get rid of it for me?
00:58:28I just feel so much safer.
00:58:31I have to go out of town for a couple weeks on business.
00:58:34When I get back,
00:58:35you and I are going to start living.
00:58:37Best news I've heard all day.
00:58:39You slept with him.
00:58:42You enjoyed it.
00:58:44I did what I had to do for Russ to get money for L.A.,
00:58:47and I got him to toss the gun.
00:58:49I'm the one making sacrifices.
00:58:51You didn't have to sleep with him.
00:58:53I'm not going to share you anymore.
00:58:54Do you understand?
00:58:55You are forgetting the big picture, Rod.
00:58:57Am I still in that picture?
00:59:01Of course.
00:59:02Are you ready to move to Los Angeles?
00:59:08I'm ready.
00:59:11What about him?
00:59:16I'm going to do what I have to do to keep us safe.
00:59:21You got to hand it to Dolly.
00:59:23Why let a little thing like murder stand in the way of your dreams?
00:59:27We were going to Hollywood to live the life we imagined.
00:59:29Or maybe it was just the life she imagined.
00:59:32Or maybe it was just the life she imagined.
00:59:59Over the hills and far away to the city of broken...
01:00:06Otto!
01:00:08What's up here?
01:00:11I read that Francis Marion wrote the film The Big House on a Royal.
01:00:16Tell me you love it.
01:00:18There's a knockout course.
01:00:20What writer wouldn't be thrilled to work here?
01:00:22Soon you'll be writing for Metro-Goldenmire.
01:00:25I'm making the right contacts for you.
01:00:27I want us to live together in the same bed every day.
01:00:31Will you marry me?
01:00:33Otto, someday I'll marry you.
01:00:35When we get to where we want to be, but not until then.
01:00:38Besides, you're my lover.
01:00:40That's a much more important role.
01:00:41If you won't marry me, I'm leaving.
01:00:44Otto, look at me.
01:00:46You are an aspiring writer who's sold exactly two stories.
01:00:50You don't have any other special skills unless you want to go back to repairing sewing machines.
01:00:53Yet you spend your days sitting here in this beautiful house, writing and having sex with me.
01:00:57I doubt there's another writer in Hollywood that wouldn't jump at that opportunity.
01:01:00Now, if that doesn't make you happy, then you can get out.
01:01:04It would make me sad, but it's your choice.
01:01:08I'm throwing a party in two weeks, and I've invited the who's who of Hollywood to be there.
01:01:13I've even invited some Hollywood screenplay agents.
01:01:15I'm not giving up on marriage!
01:01:23I want to talk to the people in Hollywood.
01:01:23I don't listen to you like me.
01:01:24No, it can be see-
01:01:24No, it's your choice.
01:01:26I don't want to talk to the people in Hollywood.
01:01:26I have been tris
01:01:47so it's been a great place we Husband.
01:01:49Mrs. Oysterweck had me throw that in the river.
01:02:08You're going to go after her?
01:02:12If you toss it into a bush instead, it might tell us more.
01:02:15But I'm telling you, she did it.
01:02:19If we did, we might have to come after you for aiding and abetting.
01:02:25Count your blessings.
01:02:32Let's find out where that greedy widow moved.
01:02:33My friends tell me the only way a woman can get your attention is to commit a crime.
01:02:52Have you?
01:02:52No, but if that's what it takes.
01:03:00My condolences. I understand he was murdered.
01:03:06I still can't get the image of him lying there dead out of my mind.
01:03:09Nobody ever can.
01:03:10I'm afraid small-minded people in Milwaukee still think I was involved.
01:03:23Well, maybe you'll need my services after all.
01:03:26Welcome to Los Angeles, Mrs. Oysterweck.
01:03:44Making a scene like that is reckless and dangerous, and you know it.
01:04:00I'm sick of watching you throw yourself at other men.
01:04:04You sound just like Fred.
01:04:08Take this back.
01:04:09Oh, for God's sake.
01:04:15Let's go see a movie.
01:04:17A comedy.
01:04:18Marx Brothers.
01:04:18Animal Crackers.
01:04:19I'm not in the mood.
01:04:20I don't feel like laughing.
01:04:35Hello?
01:04:35Detective Klein?
01:04:45You're in Los Angeles?
01:04:52I understand.
01:04:57He wants to talk to me.
01:04:58You mustn't meet him.
01:04:59He'll get suspicious if I don't.
01:05:02I have to see him.
01:05:03He came all the way from the...
01:05:04Let's get to Canada.
01:05:08Or Europe.
01:05:10Terry, this is our chance.
01:05:14Run away with me.
01:05:19All we need is each other.
01:05:22And what and what live like a fugitive?
01:05:26Besides, I like living here.
01:05:45I'm finally making the kinds of friends I deserve.
01:05:51The life I've always dreamed of.
01:05:55How do you think your fancy friends are going to feel about you when you're arrested for murder?
01:06:00Herman won't let that happen.
01:06:01I don't have a Herman looking out for me!
01:06:08You're a secret, Otto.
01:06:10Well, Detective Klein doesn't know you exist.
01:06:16Neither does Herman.
01:06:19We keep it that way.
01:06:21We keep you safe.
01:06:22Oh, dolly.
01:06:23You're just trying to save your own ass.
01:06:26Do you understand?
01:06:29Otto?
01:06:32They'll dog us forever.
01:06:33That's why I have to talk to Klein.
01:06:42I have to show him I have nothing to hide.
01:06:46Turns out it ain't so easy to run for murder.
01:06:48Even in Hollywood.
01:06:50Dolly was looking out for herself.
01:06:52But I had nobody looking out for me.
01:06:54Herman Shapiro, Detective.
01:07:14I'm representing Miss Osterreich.
01:07:16Hello, Detective.
01:07:19It seems some people will do anything to get out of Milwaukee.
01:07:22Mrs. Osterreich.
01:07:25You mind telling me what you and your late husband
01:07:27were fighting about at the Hofbrau house
01:07:29the night that he was murdered?
01:07:30The usual marital disputes.
01:07:33But I thought the two of you never fought.
01:07:35I recall you saying
01:07:37you were more in love than ever.
01:07:39What can I say, Detective?
01:07:41I wanted the fish for dinner.
01:07:44Fred thought the pork roast
01:07:45might put a little more blush on my cheeks.
01:07:49And that's why you stormed out?
01:07:51Where are we going with this, Detective?
01:07:53So they argued.
01:07:54I'm sure you argue with your wife.
01:07:55That doesn't mean you'll want to kill her.
01:07:58Fair enough, Counselor.
01:08:08I brought along an old friend.
01:08:09I know you mean something by this, Detective,
01:08:19but I can't for the life of me think what it is.
01:08:22You don't recognize this gun?
01:08:23I do not.
01:08:24Do you know Roy Klum?
01:08:26He was our insurance man.
01:08:28And your lover.
01:08:29And his dreams, perhaps.
01:08:32But I can't be responsible for what haunts Mr. Klum's sleep.
01:08:36Careful, Detective.
01:08:37If this is a fishing expedition,
01:08:38I think you'll go home hungry.
01:08:42Mr. Klum says he slept with you in your home.
01:08:45And then you asked him to toss this gun.
01:08:48As I told you before,
01:08:50apparently Mr. Klum has a very active fantasy life.
01:08:54And I see now you do, too.
01:08:58Detective, if this is the alleged murder weapon,
01:09:01what do the ballistics say?
01:09:03Are my clients fingerprints on the gun?
01:09:06That is now the new science of evidence.
01:09:09I didn't think so.
01:09:10I'm sure we'll see each other again very soon.
01:09:22Counselor?
01:09:28She had the face of a Madonna,
01:09:30but a safe deposit box where her heart should be.
01:09:33I can't thank you enough.
01:09:35I just feel so much safer with you by my side.
01:09:38This is exactly where I want to be.
01:09:40It's real scotch.
01:09:45Glenn Fittich.
01:09:47Don't ask where I got it.
01:09:49I never ask my clients for the truth.
01:09:56Please.
01:09:57It's for you.
01:09:59As a token of my gratitude for what you've done for me
01:10:01and what you will do.
01:10:06Well, this is lovely. Thank you.
01:10:07F-O.
01:10:12What?
01:10:13The initials F-O are engraved on the back.
01:10:16Your husband's, I assume.
01:10:19Oh, I found it during the move to L.A.
01:10:21I didn't think to tell the police or the insurance company.
01:10:24Was that evil of me?
01:10:26As you're all aware, this is a protected conversation.
01:10:28And as my lover?
01:10:32I know.
01:10:32I know.
01:10:44I should have seen how she would play this
01:10:50and run like hell.
01:10:52But she could smooth talk an angry beast into a house bed.
01:10:56Take it away.
01:11:08I'm on a hunger strike.
01:11:10Don't be silly.
01:11:11You need your strength.
01:11:12You don't need my strength.
01:11:13You got hands.
01:11:16Otto.
01:11:18I know I've hurt you over and over.
01:11:20I've taken years off of your life
01:11:21for my own greedy, selfish pleasure.
01:11:23And you've been nothing but loving to me.
01:11:26You're a disease I can't shake.
01:11:29Or you torment me.
01:11:30So I do love you.
01:11:30And I love you.
01:11:32Even if it's not always the way you want.
01:11:35I'm going to do you a great favor.
01:11:37It'll hurt me deeply,
01:11:37but it's the only way to keep you safe from the police.
01:11:40I don't like the sound of that.
01:11:42I'm going to keep seeing Herman
01:11:44until my legal troubles stop.
01:11:46He can't find out about you.
01:11:48The police either.
01:11:49It's just, it's too risky.
01:11:51Can you come out?
01:11:52No.
01:11:53Oh.
01:11:54I want to see you just like always, every day.
01:11:57I've bought a beautiful place in Santa Monica.
01:11:59You can come and go as you please.
01:12:01You just want to get rid of me
01:12:02so you can sex up Herman.
01:12:04He's an attorney who can give you the life
01:12:06that you've always wanted.
01:12:07I'm doing this to protect you.
01:12:10Klein won't give up.
01:12:11If he finds out about you, we're cooked.
01:12:12We have to be careful now more than ever.
01:12:20No.
01:12:22Not this time.
01:12:24I'm not giving in.
01:12:27You're the one that messed up Fred's watch, not me.
01:12:30Don't you want to be my lover anymore?
01:12:51Sometimes, a man has to find his spine.
01:12:53He has to stand up and say,
01:12:56I matter here.
01:12:58Even if nobody's listening.
01:12:59This is where you take all your girls.
01:13:07Only the ones that matter.
01:13:09Oh.
01:13:09And the ones that don't matter.
01:13:13Frankfurt is on Pico.
01:13:14You're the most unsettling woman I have ever met.
01:13:23Both thrilling and vaguely terrifying.
01:13:26Is that a compliment?
01:13:28I can't tell.
01:13:29I don't want it to end house that.
01:13:30Will you marry me?
01:13:40Will you marry me?
01:13:48Is that your answer?
01:13:49Dolly treated me like a rubber band.
01:14:13She twisted and stretched me any way she wanted.
01:14:16But sooner or later, even a rubber band will snap.
01:14:22Stop!
01:14:24Who the hell are you?
01:14:27Tell him who we are to each other.
01:14:30Dolly, what's he talking about?
01:14:32This is Otto.
01:14:34He's my upstairs lodger.
01:14:44Tell him!
01:14:45We used to be lovers.
01:14:47Used to be.
01:14:52I haven't spoken to another man in nine years,
01:14:54so you're going to shut your damn mouth and listen.
01:14:57I'm not her lover.
01:15:00I'm her sex slave.
01:15:02I used to be locked in her attic in Milwaukee
01:15:04while Fred was alive,
01:15:05and now here,
01:15:07I have sex with her on command.
01:15:09however and whenever she wants.
01:15:12I have no control,
01:15:13and I have to listen to her sexing up marks like you.
01:15:19Oh.
01:15:21He thought she loved you.
01:15:25We're all her sex toys.
01:15:27The only thing with me and her,
01:15:28there ain't no pretending.
01:15:29Hell.
01:15:30Don't listen to him, Herman.
01:15:33He's making this up.
01:15:35He does it all day.
01:15:36He's a Pulp Fiction novelist.
01:15:39Tell him Otto, tell him this is one of your stories.
01:15:42Maybe I'll write about you now.
01:15:43Boy, was I wrong.
01:15:49You are more terrifying than thrilling.
01:15:58Nobody, nobody murdered anybody here.
01:16:00Tell him Otto, nobody murdered anybody.
01:16:08Thing is, Dolly, I don't care anymore.
01:16:10I called Detective Klein.
01:16:15I refuse to live this way one more night.
01:16:20I have to live with your flirting,
01:16:22and I even live with the seductions
01:16:23because I understood why you were doing this.
01:16:29But you didn't have to take his rape.
01:16:35This spot is reserved for me.
01:16:38I'll be in the attic when the coppers arrive.
01:16:59You don't want to go to jail.
01:17:01Fine.
01:17:02But I didn't murder Fred.
01:17:03Remember that?
01:17:04The way I saw it,
01:17:16I was just trading one prison for another.
01:17:18Where's one said?
01:17:20Where's one said?
01:17:21Love that cell?
01:17:24Is that all you have?
01:17:28In the end?
01:17:30In the end?
01:17:32Come on.
01:17:33Protect your heart.
01:17:35Protect your heart.
01:17:38Embrace your soul.
01:17:42Cause this world can be.
01:17:47Come on.
01:17:49Come on.
01:17:54Charlie, let the ladies walk with me.
01:17:56There we go.
01:18:01Lord, save the backpack.
01:18:10This boat was sinking.
01:18:11Dolly had a life raft and left me to drown.
01:18:13I was blinded by you.
01:18:14Thought this was true.
01:18:15Love.
01:18:16Thought this was true.
01:18:17Love.
01:18:18Thought this was true.
01:18:19Herman, thank God.
01:18:20Herman, thank God I'm so glad to see you.
01:18:21Don't bother saying another word.
01:18:22I know it'll be a lie anyway.
01:18:23I missed you.
01:18:24I want you to have no idea.
01:18:25I want you to know that I would have married you.
01:18:26And I would have stayed faithful.
01:18:27I loved you.
01:18:28I still do.
01:18:29You must think I'm a complete fool to fall for that again.
01:18:30I would never think that about the man I want to marry.
01:18:32I don't believe you for a second.
01:18:33Are you still gonna save me from prison?
01:19:03The judge turned down our motion for a separate trial.
01:19:09You and Otto will be tried together for manslaughter.
01:19:14But I didn't shoot Fred.
01:19:17He did.
01:19:18So what do we do?
01:19:21Otto's lawyer will paint him as your puppet.
01:19:25He'll paint you as the puppet master pulling the strings.
01:19:29He'll say that Otto was carrying out your orders when he shot Fred.
01:19:32But that's not true.
01:19:35Truth is no defense here.
01:19:38It's the story that matters.
01:19:40He's more famous than Charlie Chaplin today.
01:19:44You're in the public's eye.
01:19:48There is sympathy for their Batman.
01:20:02I need to go after Otto.
01:20:05And she were him.
01:20:07If I can convict Otto, he'll go for you.
01:20:09But I need your permission to do that.
01:20:12This is our best shot.
01:20:14Perhaps being locked away will be less difficult for him than life alone on the outside.
01:20:25Do it.
01:20:27If she knew just how to work a man, then you'd wind up in an alley without your wallet or your pants.
01:20:35It's okay.
01:20:36Whew.
01:20:37Otto Sanhubre has confessed to murdering Fred Osterreich.
01:20:42There is not one shred of physical evidence tying Miss Osterreich to her husband's murder.
01:20:50Yes, Ms. Ostreich made mistakes.
01:20:53She was lonely.
01:20:55Yes, she cheated on her abusive husband.
01:20:58And yes, she took in a troubled orphan who had nowhere else to go.
01:21:02But you do not convict a woman of murder for the crime of infidelity.
01:21:10Otto was just a teenager when he met Dolly.
01:21:14An orphan who had never known a day of love in his life.
01:21:19She was older, pretty, and boldly seductive.
01:21:27She took the best years of his life for her own selfish pleasure.
01:21:33Settle. Quiet, please.
01:21:36You could have seen Otto at his tiny apartment or hotels,
01:21:41yet you moved him into the attic. Why is that?
01:21:44When Fred began drinking, I didn't feel safe at the house.
01:21:48I thought having Otto there would keep me safe.
01:21:52Mr. Sanhuber asked you to marry him, did he not?
01:21:56Yeah.
01:21:58Otto professed his love to me constantly.
01:22:02He asked me to divorce my husband and marry him.
01:22:06After Fred's death, why didn't you marry Otto then?
01:22:14I adored him.
01:22:16But I take my marriage vows very seriously.
01:22:21Liar!
01:22:23Sit down, or you'll be in contempt.
01:22:31You provoked your husband to yell and threaten you on more than one occasion,
01:22:35knowing that Mr. Sanhuber could hear you, didn't you?
01:22:39Fred terrified me when he got angry.
01:22:41He slapped me more than once, and he tried to choke me.
01:22:49Did you give your husband's luger to Mr. Sanhuber?
01:22:53I did.
01:22:59I wanted to keep it away from Fred.
01:23:01When he got drunk, he would wave that thing around like a crazy man.
01:23:03I was afraid he was going to hurt himself or me with it.
01:23:05You wanted Otto to have this gun, didn't you?
01:23:09You wanted to stir up his fear for your safety until he couldn't take it anymore.
01:23:15And that he'd use this gun on poor Mr. Osterike.
01:23:23Didn't you?
01:23:24Otto was my guardian angel.
01:23:28I thought with him in the house I could keep Fred from murdering me.
01:23:33No.
01:23:36No, Mrs. Osterike.
01:23:39You kept him locked up in the house because you thought you could provoke him to murder your husband, didn't you?
01:23:46Objection, Your Honor.
01:23:48Sustained.
01:23:49Order.
01:23:51Otto was a sweet and lovely boy.
01:23:54I never imagined he would be capable of such a thing.
01:23:57Maybe it was all those crime stories he was reading and writing.
01:24:00I can't possibly know what would have made him murder Fred.
01:24:03Didn't you stand to gain a lot of money if your husband died?
01:24:07Yes.
01:24:08I knew Fred had a life insurance policy.
01:24:09Twenty thousand dollars.
01:24:10Quiet down in my courtroom.
01:24:12You grew tired of Fred.
01:24:14You wanted to move to Los Angeles and lead a more glamorous lifestyle, but you couldn't do it without Fred's money. Isn't that right?
01:24:19I moved to California to get away from the awful memory.
01:24:20No further questions, Your Honor.
01:24:24Isn't it true, Mr. Sandhuber, that you wanted to marry Ms. Osterike, but Fred was in the way?
01:24:25I wanted to live openly as man and wife.
01:24:26I'll buy that.
01:24:27I'll buy that.
01:24:28I'll buy that.
01:24:29I'll buy that.
01:24:30I'll buy that.
01:24:31I'll buy that.
01:24:32I'll buy that.
01:24:33I'll buy that.
01:24:34I'll buy that.
01:24:35I'll buy that.
01:24:36No further questions, Your Honor.
01:24:37Isn't it true, Mr. Sandhuber, that you wanted to marry Ms. Osterike, but Fred was in the way?
01:24:50I wanted to live openly as man and wife. By then, I'd grown used to the attic. I felt safer up there.
01:24:57What do you mean, safer? Ms. Osterike didn't make you live in the attic, did she?
01:25:04No.
01:25:07I was grateful to be there.
01:25:11The truth is, you murdered Fred Osterike because you didn't want to share the love of your life with him anymore, isn't that right?
01:25:18No.
01:25:19You are not the tragic romantic you imagined yourself to be, are you?
01:25:25Gentlemen, my client gave this young man free room and board because she felt safer with him in the house.
01:25:32But he began to fantasize a life with her.
01:25:35This is a writer of lurid tales, someone who makes up stories of crime and sex, who imagined my client as one of his fictional dancers in distress.
01:25:47The jury finds the defendant, Otto Sandhuber, guilty of manslaughter.
01:26:00As regards Mrs. Osterike, the jurors, having exhausted all means of deliberation, they are unable to reach a verdict.
01:26:10This court is adjourned.
01:26:12Dolly got what she wanted.
01:26:25But then she always did.
01:26:27She used sex as a weapon and love as a drug.
01:26:30But she made my life exciting.
01:26:32She gave me something to write about.
01:26:34You should be scared about.
