00:00This video is brought to you by S.T.A.L.A.
00:30Right there.
01:00You Perry Foote?
01:04Uh-uh.
01:05So who are you?
01:07Hey.
01:11Easy.
01:17Easy.
01:18Both of you.
01:24I'm Perry Foote.
01:27Keep talking.
01:30I sent for both of you.
01:32Charles Chirretti.
01:34Meet Dan Masters.
01:38I don't like having the ground rules changed.
01:41I thought you meant alone.
01:42Or I wouldn't have showed.
01:44I needed the two of you for the same job.
01:46What job?
01:48I want you to kill Archie Goodwin.
01:50I don't like having the other dog.
01:51I don't know.
01:52That's right.
01:52I don't know.
01:53I don't know.
01:54I said I couldn't let you go.
01:55I don't know.
01:56I don't know.
01:57I don't know.
01:58I don't know.
01:58I don't know.
02:59Ah, but Goodwin's a pro. He's likely to be on guard. One man might not get lucky. The two of you, the best there is. He's a dead man.
03:10It's too bad. I don't split my fee.
03:14Yeah, if I needed a partner, I wouldn't be working alone. I only have one wallet.
03:17Hold it. Who said anything about splitting? You both get the usual. I'm willing to pay twice to make sure.
03:2625,000 each?
03:32Double if you get Nero Wolf, too. He'd be tougher. He doesn't go out much.
03:38Now here's 10,000 each. The rest when I read Goodwin's obituary. Or Nero Wolf's.
03:45Why are Goodwin and Wolf so important to you?
03:47I'm keeping a promise.
03:52What kind of a promise?
03:54Remember an armored car heist five years ago?
03:58Two million dollar take. Hudson Bank.
04:01You weigh in on that?
04:02With my partner, Clay Ballard.
04:06He got caught later by Goodwin, who works for Wolf.
04:11Clay never said a word to the cops about me.
04:15There's a price for his silence.
04:18You were to pay Goodwin back.
04:20And this Wolf character, hmm?
04:23I gave my word.
04:32Make sure he's dead.
04:41Make sure he's dead.
05:02No!
05:12A-a-a-a-a-a-a!
05:15A-a-a-a!
05:21A-a-a-a-a!
05:27Is he going to make it?
05:38Not even till morning.
05:40Can he talk?
05:41He goes in and out, mumbled something about Archie Goodwin and Nero Wolfe.
05:45Kept saying he wanted to see someone in homicide.
05:48About who shot him?
05:49Could be.
05:52Can you hear me?
05:53This is Inspector Kramer.
05:57Would you like to talk to him?
06:02I'm listening.
06:07I can't hear you.
06:08Gonna kill Goodwin.
06:17And Nero Wolfe.
06:23Contract.
06:25How do you know?
06:27Heard it.
06:29Who put out the contract?
06:30Do you know that?
06:33The man who shot you.
06:34Was he the hitman?
06:36What is it?
06:37Something about the killer?
06:38Oh.
06:38Oh.
06:40Oh.
06:40Oh.
06:41Oh.
06:45Oh.
06:45Oh.
06:45Oh.
06:45Oh.
06:45Oh.
06:53You off duty?
06:58With that scotch, I am.
07:00Thanks.
07:00The man was shot, Mr. Kramer.
07:03He was, after all, delirious.
07:05Who knows what he actually overheard?
07:08Listen, you go by gut instinct.
07:10Well, so do I.
07:11I think he heard what he said he heard.
07:13I'm inclined to go along with that.
07:14You think he stumbled onto it and was shot for being in the right place at the wrong time,
07:18is that it?
07:20That's what it looks like, yeah.
07:22I didn't know we had anybody that mad at us.
07:25Well, you do.
07:26Okay.
07:26We'll double bolt our doors.
07:29Look, maybe I ought to put a guard around the house.
07:31I would not like that at all, Mr. Kramer.
07:33I value my privacy.
07:35Just till things cool down.
07:37What good would it do?
07:38Well, for one thing, it might save me buying a black suit for your funerals.
07:42You say it was a contract.
07:43That means a professional was hired.
07:46If he gets even ahead that your men are around, he will merely wait patiently.
07:51It also might discourage him.
07:52If he's being paid enough, he might be willing to spend a little time before he makes an attempt
07:56to fulfill that contract.
07:58Meaning you two just going to sit around here and wait?
08:00Oh, come on, Inspector.
08:02Now, our hired gun probably knows the man he shot didn't die until after he got to the
08:07hospital.
08:07So he also knows the dead man could have spilled something to someone in your department.
08:12Now, he's just going to take his time and give it his best shot.
08:14Giving you two time to do what?
08:17Find out who he is.
08:23Switch.
08:30There, Theodore.
08:34I believe we've done all we can.
08:36I'll watch, yes, sir.
08:37And if there's any crisis, I'll summon you immediately.
08:40Yes, Archie.
08:42A list of possibles.
08:44It's got to be in our files somewhere.
08:46Men don't pay to have you killed unless you've been a defender somewhere along the line.
08:50But why would he wait so long?
08:52These go back as far as five years.
08:54Maybe he hasn't been around.
08:56Prison?
08:58Someone we helped put there.
09:00Someone with a long memory?
09:02Well, our man could be smarter than that.
09:05Maybe he's waited this long so the police wouldn't connect him to it when it happened.
09:09Well, the psychopath, Gludgers age well, aren't you?
09:12They give him a sense of purpose.
09:15Comforting.
09:16A nut.
09:17Now, this one, Mark Telford, would have been a good choice, for example.
09:21Except?
09:21I happen to know he died in prison.
09:25Great.
09:26Still leaves us ten live ones.
09:27Ah, Clay Bailer.
09:29What?
09:29The Hudson Bank robbery, Archie.
09:31We were instrumental in putting Clay Bailer behind bars.
09:34Yeah, I remember.
09:35He swore in court to pay us back.
09:38I think maybe he meant it.
09:40Call Mr. Kramer.
09:41Find out if our Mr. Bailer has left the confines of the jail cell.
09:44Right.
09:44Right.
09:51Watch your car for a buck.
09:59Hey, Pete Drossos.
10:00Archie, how's your boss?
10:02Well, you ought to come around again sometime and find out.
10:05I've been meaning to.
10:06The schedule's kind of busy.
10:08Oh, yeah?
10:08Well, what happened?
10:09You stopped wiping windshields for a living?
10:11Well, watching pays better than wiping.
10:14Think it needs watching here?
10:16Well, this ain't Central Park West.
10:19Yeah, well, these days, it needs watching there, too.
10:22I don't plan on expanding.
10:28Hey, guys, watch the car.
10:30Watch the car.
10:31Watch the car.
10:31Yeah, who are you?
10:49Look closer.
10:54Archie Goodwin.
10:55It's been a long time.
10:57Yeah, you ought to know how long.
11:00You mind if I come in?
11:02I mind if we breathe the same air.
11:04Who is it, Clay?
11:07Archie Goodwin.
11:09Nero Wolfe's legs.
11:10Look, I just want to talk to you.
11:13Yeah, about what?
11:15Prison reform?
11:19What we have to talk about might keep you from going back.
11:22You want me to get him a drink?
11:32You won't be here long enough.
11:33Thanks, anyway.
11:35Okay, Goodwin, watch.
11:36Last night, a wino called Herbie Kane was killed.
11:41Just before he died, he told the police he overheard a man hiring someone to kill me.
11:46And Nero Wolfe.
11:47You came running right over here.
11:51Couldn't wait to pin it on me, so he'd be right back behind stone.
11:53Clay, take it easy.
11:55You heard him.
11:56Look, I just came over here to make sure you weren't involved.
12:00I remember a courtroom five years ago.
12:03Something you yelled at me stuck to my ribs.
12:06Clay hasn't done anything.
12:07It's okay, baby.
12:10Yeah, sure.
12:11I remember, too.
12:14Yeah, but that was five years ago.
12:17I was facing a long spell in a slammer because of you.
12:20Guy gets out into the collar.
12:22Says things.
12:25Just words.
12:27Make him feel good.
12:29You didn't mean them?
12:30No, my nuts.
12:32Just spent years inside.
12:33Think I want more?
12:36I just sent him, so maybe he'd look over your shoulder a couple of times.
12:40Guess you did.
12:42Not until last night.
12:46Listen, Goodwin.
12:47I wouldn't care if you left here and a truck flattened you.
12:50Or somebody dropped a piano on your fat boss.
12:53But you can't pin last night on me.
12:55Where were you?
12:56Right here.
12:58He was right here with me.
12:59All evening?
13:00All evening.
13:03Yeah.
13:05We watch TV.
13:07Since I get out, I can't sleep nights.
13:10Stay up right through the talk shows.
13:12That John Carson's funny.
13:14Clay never left the apartment.
13:18That's it, Goodwin.
13:19So if you're finished, you can go look someplace else.
13:22Clay never hired anybody to kill anybody.
13:24Not last night.
13:25Not any time.
13:26I hope that's true.
13:28Because Wolf and I intend to keep looking.
13:32It's a matter of life and death.
13:36Ours.
13:36Still in one piece?
13:54See you around, Archie.
13:55Get in a nice car.
13:57All right, here.
14:03Ah!
14:04Try it.
14:05Try it again.
14:06Go ahead.
14:07Go ahead.
14:07Where were you last night?
14:16Sounded like it's Seamus.
14:18Where?
14:21You want a drink?
14:22Tell me.
14:23I went to meet Perry Foote.
14:31What for?
14:33Well, he called while you were out.
14:35He wanted to talk.
14:37About what?
14:37The money, what else?
14:43You think he's the one out to get Goodwin and Errol Wolf?
14:45Not what I know.
14:47He didn't say anything about that.
14:49Did you hear what I said?
14:52Perry's got the money stashed away.
14:54All of it.
14:55He never spent a dime.
14:58The wife comes to a million.
15:00He's just going to hand it over to you?
15:02Why not?
15:03I just took five years.
15:05Never mentioned his name.
15:07He owes me.
15:08Then how come he never got in touch with me while you were inside?
15:11I could have starved to death for all he cared.
15:13Oh, he told me about that.
15:14He said that if he had gotten in touch,
15:17the police might have put two and two together and come after him.
15:21I still don't trust him.
15:22I never did.
15:24Baby, he's going to give us our share of the money.
15:26He promised.
15:29What if he really hired someone to kill Goodwin and Errol Wolf?
15:32You get involved.
15:33Not me.
15:35When we get our million,
15:36we're going to lose ourselves on the other side of the world.
15:48Naturally, Baylor denied everything.
15:51Confession may be good for the soul.
15:53But it is not quite so salutary for a man facing another term in prison.
16:01His wife backed up everything he said.
16:03Very wifely.
16:05But continue to keep an eye on Mr. Baylor.
16:11Errol Wolf's office.
16:13Go on, Willie.
16:19It's trouble, Archie.
16:20Does this trouble have a name?
16:23Word's out on the street someone's out to get you and Errol Wolf.
16:25Putting up big money, too.
16:27Any ideas, Willie?
16:29Heard any whispers?
16:31No, I heard everything, Archie.
16:33I know put out the contract when I know who's holding a gun.
16:36Interested.
16:37Don't play games, Willie.
16:41How much?
16:42The usual.
16:43Five hundred.
16:46Okay, it's a deal.
16:48Not on the phone, Archie.
16:50You name it.
16:51Meet me at the electric plant.
16:53You know the one down by the East River?
16:55Eight o'clock tonight.
16:56I'll be there.
16:58Inside.
16:59Near the office.
17:00Got it.
17:00Nice work, Willie.
17:08It would never done me no harm with a fat guy he works for.
17:11Ah.
17:12Never drink.
17:13Help you forget.
17:16You better forget, Willie.
17:19Word gets around about this.
17:20You'll be sleeping it off on ice.
17:24Capisce?
17:26Why would I say anything?
17:27I know what's good for me.
17:28Sure you do.
17:29You're smart, Willie.
17:37Archie, why eight o'clock tonight instead of now?
17:41Why in a section of town deserted even at that hour?
17:44Clearly you could be walking into a trap.
17:47I've already worked out that part of it.
17:49Call Mr. Kramer.
17:51I want his men one step behind you every second.
17:53We'll come up empty.
17:55Now, we are dealing with a professional.
17:57You said so yourself.
17:58Now, if he sees even a hint of blue, he'll back off.
18:03Unlike Mr. Kramer, I do have a black suit.
18:06But I detest funerals.
18:09Yours I would detest more than many another.
18:11Yeah, well, I'm still going.
18:13Now, as long as I know it's a trap, I'll be way ahead of the game.
18:16Archie, replacing you would be difficult and time-consuming.
18:20But if you disregard my instructions, if you refuse to take the simplest precautions to save your life,
18:27I will address myself to that wittiesome task.
18:30You will call, Mr. Kramer.
18:32Is that an order?
18:37It is.
18:39Well, if I'm not working for you, then I don't have to take orders.
18:44I quit.
18:44I quit.
19:06Oh, my God.
19:36Oh, my God.
20:06Oh, my God.
20:36You tell me.
21:06Oh, my God.
21:13Oh, my God.
21:15Oh, my God.
21:24Oh, my God.
21:26Oh, my God.
21:35Oh, my God.
21:37Oh, my God.
21:39Oh, my God.
21:48Oh, my God.
21:52Oh, my God.
21:54Oh, my God.
22:03Oh, my God.
22:05Oh, my God.
22:07Oh, my God.
22:09Oh, my God.
22:22Oh, my God.
22:24Oh, my God.
22:28Oh, my God.
22:33Oh, my God.
22:37Oh, my God.
22:45Oh, my God.
22:47Oh
23:17Okay, what's the name?
23:33Smith. First name.
23:36John.
23:37I figures. Yeah, I never liked my name.
23:40Good. So we're about to change.
23:44What are we waiting for?
23:45Well, find out what you used for a name when you were christened.
23:49I told you.
23:50Yeah, I know you told us, John, but just to make sure we're having a make run on your fingerprints.
23:54We don't want you going through life with the wrong name.
23:56It was very bad for your credit rating.
23:58I mean, motels will stop honoring your credit cards.
24:00Yeah, funny. You won't find a thing.
24:02John Smith, that's it.
24:04Well, to keep the boys busy, things are kind of slow these days.
24:08A to Z.
24:13Huh.
24:15Well,
24:21Smith's out.
24:24Okay.
24:25The name's Charetti.
24:26It's not John, either.
24:29Charles.
24:30You've been in a lot of trouble, Charlie.
24:33Oh, well.
24:34I mean, life ain't easy.
24:35Attempted murder.
24:40Assault.
24:41Two arrests.
24:43Total of 12 years in prison.
24:45Easy's definitely not the word.
24:47Who paid you, Charlie?
24:50For what?
24:50To set up.
24:51To kill Goodwin and Wolf.
24:52Kill him.
24:53Kill him.
24:54What?
24:54I was just meeting a pal.
24:57I mean, it was kind of a Subrosa thing, so we picked the electric plant.
25:01All of a sudden, Goodwin here jumps at me.
25:02I mean, what do you expect?
25:03Going to walk away from a fight?
25:05You were carrying a gun.
25:06And I can add to the time you already spent in the slammer.
25:10You're already on probation, Charlie.
25:16What's the deal?
25:17No deal.
25:18But I'll tell you this.
25:19You don't tell us what we want to know.
25:20Nobody's going to be listening when your lawyer asks for a reduced sentence.
25:25Okay?
25:31Yeah, okay.
25:33Who hired you?
25:35Perry Foote.
25:36So who's Perry Foote?
25:39He knocked off the Hudson Bank with Clay Baylor.
25:42Hired both of us.
25:44There were two of you?
25:46Two.
25:47That's why Herbie Kane put up two fingers.
25:51He was trying to tell us.
25:53At least one hitman's still out on the street, armed and dangerous, out to kill you and Wolf.
26:06Well, I see by some stroke of fortune you managed to avoid the morgue.
26:11My congratulations.
26:12Thanks.
26:13It's one down and one to go.
26:14Meaning?
26:15There were two men after us.
26:17The second man's name is Masters, according to the one we caught.
26:21Looks like Perry Foote is carrying revenge to the extreme.
26:24I think Mr. Foote should be removed from society as quickly as possible.
26:28And the second man, of course.
26:30Now, when this is all over, I'm still packed.
26:33Naturally.
26:34I do not recall offering to rehire you.
26:37Oh, no, no, no.
26:38Now, none of that.
26:39I quit before you fired me.
26:41Mere semantics, young man.
26:42Narrow Wolf's office.
26:50Narrow Wolf's office.
26:51What?
26:55Be right down.
26:59It's Willie.
27:02Someone killed him.
27:03Why, Goodwin?
27:15Well, I guess Perry Foote was afraid Willie would talk.
27:17It was Willie who set me up on the phone.
27:20Well, maybe Clay Bailey can clear all this up when he gets here.
27:24Thought you might like to know, Inspector.
27:26We found a hundred dollar bill on the body, hidden in his shoe.
27:29Willie's payoff.
27:30To make the phone call to you.
27:32We checked the bill out.
27:33It came from that robbery five years ago.
27:35And when Clay Bailey was nailed for it?
27:38That's right.
27:38Hudson Bank.
27:39Looks like Bailey hasn't been telling us everything that he knows.
27:44Maybe Perry Foote got in touch with him after all.
27:49I don't even know this guy.
27:51Yeah.
27:52Willie, whatever his name is.
27:53You have heard of Perry Foote?
27:56Yeah, so?
27:57So the hundred dollar bill that Willie hid in his shoe came from the bank heist that you and Foote pulled.
28:02That's stupid.
28:04Why would he do that?
28:06Put everything on the line just to get back at Goodwin and Wolf.
28:09Some people, like elephants, have very long memories.
28:14They're made.
28:15What do you do, promise to cut you in?
28:19Yeah, I haven't even heard from that clown.
28:21I don't want any part of it.
28:23I'm making a new start.
28:24Ask the old lady whose days are over.
28:28I don't care what Foote's up to.
28:29None of my business.
28:35Hey, guys.
28:37Give me a break, huh?
28:38I mean, uh, I had five years to think it over.
28:44There's no percentage.
28:45I'm starting fresh.
28:47I mean, you guys mix me up in this.
28:50I'm back behind bars before I can light a cigarette.
28:53Foote has this thing for Goodwin and Wolf.
28:56Go after him.
28:58I ain't seen a guy in five years.
29:00As far as I'm concerned, that's today.
29:02If I never see him, the better.
29:06Okay, but I know you can go.
29:10Come on, I'll give you a lift home.
29:12If Foote calls you or gets in touch in any way,
29:14you better let us know if you're all good.
29:18I'm staying on the outside this time, Inspector.
29:21Got my word.
29:22I'm staying on the outside.
29:52I'm staying on the outside.
30:22Well, the great man asleep.
30:31He won't admit it, but he's worried about you.
30:34Back, are you?
30:49I haven't been up this late in years.
30:51What time is it?
30:53Early midnight.
30:54Impossible.
30:55It was only nine an hour ago.
30:56I got so busy with these bills, time must have flown.
31:00Yeah.
31:01Yeah, gotta get those bills out.
31:03What exactly have you been?
31:05On the town, looking for Perry Foote.
31:07With no success, I presume?
31:09Yeah, he's making himself scarce.
31:12And no sign of him in any of his old hangouts.
31:14His pals aren't talking, except to say they haven't seen him around.
31:17What about Clay Baylor?
31:19Well, he says he's washed his hands of the whole thing.
31:22Do you believe him?
31:23Well, I'm trying to.
31:24But you know, I get this feeling.
31:27You still think he's the answer to getting us to Perry Foote?
31:30He may be the only answer.
31:32Yes.
31:34What is it, Theodore?
31:35Sir, I couldn't sleep so worrying about you and Archie.
31:37And I opened the window to get a breath of air.
31:40And I saw him.
31:41Saw him?
31:42Who?
31:42Oh, just a man.
31:43Back of the house, under a tree.
31:45He's up to no good, I assure you.
31:47Now, now, shall I call the police, sir?
31:48No.
31:49No, he'd be gone before they got here.
31:51Or he'd be in the house.
31:52What do you intend to do?
31:53Risk your life again?
31:55Well, now all of a sudden it's my life, huh?
31:57Look, Theodore, when I leave, I want you to bolt the door.
32:00Don't open it to anyone but me.
32:01You understand?
32:02Very good, Archie.
32:04And who advanced you to commander of this operation?
32:07Well, you did.
32:08Never let your corporal out on his own.
32:10Ask Napoleon.
32:16Ask Napoleon, indeed.
32:31Ask Napoleon.
32:43Oh, my God.
33:13Don't move. Don't try it. You'll be dead before you turn. You'll lose your gun. Now, move away.
33:32The only trouble we've ever had back here is with cats. Only they were unarmed.
33:36I think I could get mugged in this neighborhood. I carry that for protection.
33:46Sure. With a silencer. Let the neighbors sleep.
33:50Why don't I take you downtown for protection? Mine and Nero Wolfe's.
34:01Another John Smith. How about that?
34:04Yeah. Wolfe thought it was hysterical.
34:07Inspector.
34:07Thanks.
34:08Daniel Masters.
34:13Well, it looks like your file's gonna get a lot longer, Danny boy.
34:17You can't prove anything?
34:19This carrying a gun is gonna get you a prison sentence.
34:22So maybe you ought to tell us what we want to know.
34:24Which is what?
34:26Where is Barry Foote?
34:27If I knew, I'd tell you.
34:29Charlie Chirretti says you know.
34:31Well, Charlie Chirretti's got rocks in his head.
34:33Hey, Danny boy, you're facing a long prison sentence.
34:36Who shot the old man on the pier?
34:39How about Perry Foote?
34:40You catch him, he got your man.
34:41Your eggs, Benedict, were most satisfactory this morning, Fritz.
34:54I tried to make it a little special today.
34:57I know it's Archie's favorite.
35:02Morning.
35:04Good morning.
35:07I take it you don't think the case ended with last night's capture?
35:10It's marvelous, Fritz.
35:12No, I don't.
35:13Good.
35:13Neither do I.
35:15You still think Clay Baylor's the link to Perry Foote?
35:17He's the only link we have, Archie.
35:19We've captured two puppets, that's all.
35:22Perry Foote has a great deal of money left and a great deal of hatred.
35:26We can spend the rest of our lives seeking out his new hirelings.
35:30Leaving you no time to discover whether life on the outside is all it is advertised to be.
35:36So let's put Perry Foote out of business.
35:39Pronto.
35:39It may surprise you to hear that I have devised a plan.
35:44Why?
35:45Never surprised me before.
35:46You're a wolf residence.
35:58Yeah, this is Archie Goodwin.
35:59You're doing the right thing.
36:09Don't even think about it.
36:11Sure.
36:12Anyway, it's done.
36:13Your husband called me?
36:25Yeah.
36:27It's from that heist five years ago.
36:29How did you get it?
36:35Perry Foote.
36:36I lied to you the other day.
36:39Eh, well, why not?
36:41Five years I was locked up.
36:42I figured there ought to be a payoff.
36:45Foote didn't spend a dime.
36:46He waited until Clay got out.
36:47He was afraid he thought the money was hot.
36:50Last night he gave me my share.
36:52Quarter of a million.
36:54Okay, didn't, uh, didn't you get two million out of that robbery?
36:57It's all he gave me.
37:01Said it was five years' interest.
37:04I don't want to send him it now.
37:06That old guy was killed on the pier.
37:08I take a penny of this, and I'm an accessory, and I didn't plan on murder.
37:12Clay just wants to turn the money over to the police.
37:14Yeah.
37:15You and Nero Wolf, you gotta make him believe me.
37:17We'll do all we can.
37:19Perry said he was gonna get lost somewhere.
37:21A wolf has a way to bring Foote out of hiding.
37:24But we're gonna need your help.
37:27You mean I'm the bait?
37:28We'll be watching you every second.
37:34Go on, Perry Foote never was your friend.
37:41Okay.
37:54What did the cops say when they got the money?
37:55They were pleased, naturally.
37:58But it's still a murder they're trying to solve.
38:01I think Perry Foote killed that old man in the lumberyard.
38:03The two men Mr. Foote hired seemed to be in accord about that.
38:07Saved their own skins.
38:09Well, I wouldn't put that past Perry Foote.
38:11Yeah.
38:13And you think, uh, you think he'll come here tonight?
38:15Archie is waiting outside.
38:17I was certain if you came here tonight, Mr. Baylor, we could flush Mr. Foote out of hiding.
38:23Well, why'd he come here?
38:24After me.
38:30Yes.
38:31Yes, of course, Archie.
38:33Well done.
38:33Bring him in.
38:35You caught him?
38:36Well, I told you, Mr. Baylor, that we would have our answer tonight if you agreed to come here.
38:40Well, what is this?
38:52That's not Perry Foote.
38:54It may look like him, but that's not him.
38:55Thank you, so old.
39:25No problem.
39:27Tell Mr. Baylor where you got the disguise.
39:30Crawl space, top of his closet, once you, he, and the missus left.
39:34Anything else, Saul?
39:35Yeah, the rest of it, two million.
39:37Cash.
39:39My fingers are still numb.
39:43Clay?
39:44Tell them that's not true, Clay.
39:45Tell them it's not true.
39:47Unfortunately, it is true, Mrs. Baylor.
39:49He deceived you all along.
39:51He believed returning a portion of the money would remove all suspicion from him.
39:56Time gave you away, Mr. Baylor.
39:58I began to wonder why Perry Foote would wait for five years to put an act of revenge into motion.
40:04Unnatural.
40:06He did not, of course.
40:08It all began to happen after you got out of prison.
40:10So it had to be all you're doing from the start.
40:14What happened to Perry Foote?
40:15I can only surmise, Archie.
40:18After the robbery before Mr. Baylor was caught, the two thieves had a falling out.
40:22You killed Perry Foote and buried both him and the money.
40:26You kept him alive as a convenient fiction, not only to avoid a charge of murder, but to give you someone to blame for the scheme that occupied all your waking hours in prison, killing Archie Goodwin and myself.
40:39You clearly have a decided gift for mimicry, Mr. Baylor, and for character invention.
40:45Perhaps you should have chosen the theater as your profession.
40:48I am sorry, Mrs. Baylor.
41:06I thought he meant what he said.
41:12I lied for him, and they were all lies.
41:16He could have come out of prison, recovered the money, and lived a secure life.
41:22But he endangered it all merely to keep his promise of revenge.
41:29At least that makes him human.
41:36That should carry her through the day.
41:47Ah, as it turns out, Theodore, there was a considerable reward for the return of the stolen money.
41:54I will now be able to afford that long-said raise in salary I've been promising you.
41:59And, of course, Fritz.
42:01Oh, good morning.
42:07And goodbye.
42:08The case is over.
42:10Yes.
42:11Of course.
42:14Well.
42:16Archie?
42:17Yeah?
42:19What?
42:22About dinner.
42:24What I mean, Fritz is serving lamb, kidneys, green peppers, and four-minute dumplings, you know.
42:35Bone marrow dumplings?
42:38With breadcrumbs and burnt sugar.
42:42It's a bribe.
42:45Out and out, sir.
42:46Okay, I'll stay.
42:51Satisfactory.
42:52Now, wait a minute.
42:53What about my raise?
42:55If Fritz's dinner is all it promises to be, I shall probably be weak enough to grant your request.
43:06Most satisfactory.
43:07Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
