01:58You'll never live to be mayor.
02:01You'll never live to see tomorrow.
02:03Come on, wait a minute.
02:04Who is this?
02:06Hello?
02:08Hello?
02:26Herald dispatch?
02:28Give me the city editor.
02:29I've got a story for you and get it straight.
02:34Walker Wiley will never live to be mayor.
02:39He won't live to see tomorrow.
02:44A phone call in the night, a threat to kill,
02:47and then a public announcement that the killing will take place.
02:51Is this man just a publicity seeker?
02:54Or will he be driven to kill? Will he succumb to the impulse?
02:59That's the name of our story, The Impulse.
03:03Our principal players are Mr. Robert Lansing,
03:07Miss Whitney Blake,
03:09Mr. Lance Fuller,
03:11Mr. Elisha Cook,
03:14Mr. Steve Brody,
03:16and Mr. Conrad Naim.
03:19Before very long, one of these girls, unwittingly,
03:23will be carrying a deadly bomb through the crowded city.
03:28As sure as my name is Boris Karloff,
03:31one man's impulse will paralyze a great metropolis
03:36for six terrifying hours.
03:40I do hope you're not addicted to biting your nails,
03:43because this, I'm quite sure you will agree,
03:46is a thriller.
03:53How can we help you?
03:55How can we help you?
03:56Well, I wish
04:19We want to see Mr. Wiley, Lieutenant Rowland, Sergeant Hannigan, Police Special Squad.
04:30Mr. Wiley said when you came, you should go right in.
04:40What are you doing, Mr. Wiley? Asking for it?
04:45Who are you?
04:46That's just what I mean.
04:47You have a threat like this, and then you have your secretary send somebody in here without any verification.
04:51If I happened to be the guy who made that threat, Mr. Wiley, you'd be dead by now.
04:55You're Lieutenant Rowland.
04:57Fortunately for you, Mr. Sergeant Hannigan.
05:01How are you, Sergeant?
05:03Lieutenant, Chief Pepper told me he was sending you over, so I told the girl outside just to...
05:08Look, Mr. Wiley, I don't want to sound like cops and robbers, but you've got to take a threat like this more seriously.
05:14You can go, Carolyn. We'll finish this later.
05:17Look, Lieutenant.
05:19Well, this man didn't just call me.
05:21He phoned every radio station and newspaper in town.
05:24Gave him the same song and dance.
05:25I can't take a man like that seriously.
05:27You think he's a crank, a publicity seeker?
05:29Well, doesn't it look that way?
05:32Killers don't advertise in advance.
05:34Oh, no.
05:35That's theory, Mr. Wiley.
05:37Sometimes they do.
05:39Hannigan here can tell you about sweet old Mrs. Krause.
05:42Yeah.
05:43She wrote letters to her relatives telling them they were going to be poisoned.
05:46What happened?
05:48They got poisoned.
05:50Oh.
05:50All right, boy, sit down.
05:55How do we begin?
05:56How do you suspect anybody?
05:58I haven't got the faintest idea.
06:00Who'd want to kill me?
06:02Well, you've come a long way up, Mr. Wiley.
06:05Isn't there somebody whose toes you might have stepped on?
06:07Somebody who might nourish a grudge?
06:09Well, not enough to kill me, no.
06:12Look, absolutely no.
06:13I can't think of anyone.
06:15All right, no suspects.
06:17And you just cooperate with us.
06:19We'll have two of my men at your home, one in your office, and one with you personally.
06:23And I mean all the time.
06:2524 hours a day.
06:26We'll also keep a guard on the building.
06:28Hmm.
06:30Well, that's going to be a little tough, Lieutenant.
06:31I've got, geez, a hundred appointments today.
06:34Some in the city, some way outside.
06:36All right, just keep them.
06:37As long as you've got one of my men with you.
06:39A moving target is harder to hit.
06:41All right.
06:42The sooner I get moving, the better.
06:44Oh.
06:46Say, there'll be one time today, I'll be a sitting duck.
06:48What's that?
06:49I'm on TV tonight.
06:51Paul Willis' visit.
06:53Can you cancel?
06:54And prove to everybody how scared I am?
06:57Not on your life.
06:58Besides, this is too important to my campaign, Lieutenant.
07:02Willis has a big audience.
07:03All right.
07:04The Paul Willis show that it's 11 o'clock.
07:06Where's it going to be?
07:07Your home?
07:07No, no.
07:09Right here in the office.
07:11All right.
07:12I'll have the place covered starting right now.
07:13Good.
07:14Now, your job is to go on about your business, Mr. Wiley.
07:18And ours is to try to keep you alive.
07:19And as of 4 o'clock this afternoon, the leading story is still the anonymous threat against
07:28the life of Walker Wiley, commissioner of water and power, prominent businessman, and
07:32candidate for the mayorality of our city.
07:35While it is still possible that the whole thing may be an elaborate hoax, police are
07:39taking no chances.
07:40Although Mr. Wiley is insisting on carrying out his regular schedule, full protection has
07:44been provided by the police special squad under Lieutenant Brian Roan.
07:48Mr. Wiley will go through with his scheduled TV appearance tonight at 11 on the Paul Willis
07:52program.
07:53According to Police Chief Pepper, complete precautions have been enforced since early this
07:57morning.
07:58It is safe to say that no unauthorized person will have any chance of getting near Wiley for
08:02the duration of his television broadcast.
08:11What a hassle.
08:13I hope his honor doesn't make a habit of this TV bit.
08:24Mr. Hannigan, you're in the police.
08:27Is someone really trying to kill Mr. Wiley?
08:29I don't know, honey.
08:30Where there's a threat, there's always a risk.
08:49They told me to change the light bulbs in Mr. Wiley's office for the TV program.
09:00I don't know.
09:21There's been a lot.
09:23What are you doing there?
09:53They told me to change the light bulbs.
09:58What did you just take out of that drawer?
10:02I've never seen you before.
10:06You don't belong here! Hannigan! Hannigan!
10:23Stop that! Help Hannigan!
10:40Hello? Hello? Emergency. Get me the building superintendent's office.
10:46Let's see. Get me the building superintendent's office.
11:16Let's see.
11:25Keep trying. I must get some. Never mind.
11:30What is it? Lieutenant, thank God you're here.
11:32What happened?
11:33I caught a man putting a package this big in Mr. Wiley's desk when he saw me.
11:36He grabbed it back and ran.
11:39You can't mistake him. Those maintenance coveralls are white.
11:43Excuse me.
11:47You can't mistake him. Those maintenance coveralls are white.
11:50Excuse me.
12:06Excuse me.
12:11What about the man himself? Any outstanding feature?
12:26Uh, he limps.
12:38Stand back.
12:39All right. Take it down. Police. Special. Come on.
12:41I'll show you.
12:56Tell us the man with the white. Stop it.
13:24Get out of the white.
13:25All right, everybody back off the...
13:27I want that package you tried to put in Wiley's office.
13:35It's a bomb, isn't it?
13:38Where is it? What'd you do with it?
13:40Girls.
13:42Bag.
13:44Elevator.
13:46Put it in some girl's bag in the elevator?
13:48When's it set for? What time?
13:51Tonight.
13:53Eleven.
13:54The girl. Who was she?
13:55What'd she look like?
14:25Hey, Lieutenant, how's it going?
14:27Hey, Lieutenant, how's it going?
14:28How's it going?
14:29I got a morning to get a skirt.
14:31Come on, hold it, William.
14:33All right.
14:34All I can tell you is that this bomb, meant for Wiley,
14:37was slipped into some girl's bag in the elevator this afternoon.
14:40According to the operator, there were 12 or 13 girls in that elevator.
14:43Out of all of the women who work here or were visiting this building this afternoon,
14:46we have to find the right one.
14:48As far as we know, the bomb is set for 11 o'clock.
14:50That means we have five hours to find the girl, so let me go do it, will you?
14:56Did you hear from the hospital about Hannigan?
15:02Yeah, they said his eyes would be all right.
15:03Lieutenant, I have station KQAY on the phone.
15:06Yeah.
15:08Yeah, hello, who is this?
15:11Mr. Stanley, this is Lieutenant Rome.
15:12Now grab a pencil and take this down.
15:15A bomb, three or four inches square,
15:17was slipped into the purse of a woman in an elevator in the Heinz building at 5 o'clock today.
15:21Yeah, that's right, a bomb.
15:23All women who left the building at that time should examine their pocketbooks.
15:26If such a package is found, telephone the police immediately.
15:28Put the purse out in the yard and keep everybody away from it until the police arrive.
15:31Have you got that?
15:34All right, good.
15:34And I want to repeat it every half hour.
15:37Some girl walking around this town with a bomb.
15:39You can save her life.
15:43George, what about that list of telephone numbers of the business offices?
15:45Just about ready.
15:47All right, let's take what we got and get back to headquarters.
15:48There'll be a battery of men working telephones as soon as we can get there.
15:51Right.
15:53Oh, Lieutenant.
15:55That right what I just heard?
15:56Man with a bomb got chased out of here,
15:58slipped the bomb in some girl's purse,
15:59then got himself killed by a truck.
16:00That right?
16:01That's right.
16:01Brundage, you're off, Mr. Wiley.
16:02You go on back.
16:04According to his driver's license, the man's name was Harry Elser.
16:08You ever hear of him?
16:09Elser, Elser.
16:10No, doesn't mean a thing.
16:12Well, that certainly takes me off the hook, Lieutenant.
16:14Fine, fine.
16:16Oh, yeah, that's just peachy.
16:18Oh, I'm not forgetting about the girl, Lieutenant.
16:21Watch, you fellas will find her in plenty of time.
16:23I'm sure of that.
16:24Yeah, thank you for the faith, Mr. Wiley.
16:26Come on, knock it off.
16:36Now, Bernie here has a list of all of the business offices in the Heinz building.
16:40You get some guy in each office who can give you a list of all of the girls who work there.
16:43Find out whether their girls leave at 5 or 5.30.
16:46The girls who leave at 5.30, you can skip.
16:48Now, the girls who leave at 5, you start contacting them.
16:50If there are no phones, get their names and addresses to Bernie.
16:52He'll relay them to men in squad cars.
16:54Also, find out what women visitors left the offices at about 5 o'clock.
16:58The woman with a bomb and her purse may be somebody who doesn't even work in the building,
17:01but was just visiting.
17:01All right, now get on the phone.
17:11Lieutenant?
17:13Yeah.
17:14What did the bomb experts tell you?
17:15Well, I say with the type of bomb you described, it didn't strong enough to knock over a building
17:20or anything, but it could kill maybe 12 or 15 people in a group.
17:24Could it contain a timing device?
17:26No, not a clock anyway.
17:27It's too small for that.
17:29But it could contain a chemical timing device.
17:31They say the OSS during the war had an incendiary pencil.
17:35They had a timing device in it that was accurate up to a half an hour.
17:38What time is this thing supposed to go?
17:4211 o'clock.
17:43I figure maybe a half hour before or a little later.
17:45Oh, uh, with this type of bomb, I say if it, uh, gets shaken up at all, it could go at any time.
17:56It's good to know.
17:58Hey, George.
17:59George, we're not going to do any good here.
18:01Let's drive out to Elsa's and see what we can find out, all right?
18:03All right.
18:04Bernie, if anybody wants me, get me in the car.
18:05So if you're on that elevator at that time, just about five o'clock, this is what you must do.
18:16Do not touch your handbag.
18:19Telephone the police immediately at City 1-2000.
18:22Repeat.
18:23City 1-2000.
18:24At least he would be on the job.
18:31Seems like I should have been this afternoon.
18:34You're blaming yourself worse than usual on this one.
18:36How come?
18:36I had one of my lousy hunches.
18:41Went over to Wiley's house.
18:43I thought maybe the bomber might pull the switch and show up there.
18:47If it hadn't meant for that, I would have been to Wiley's office and some girl wouldn't be walking around with a loaded bag.
18:53What do you think we'll find at Elsa's?
18:55I don't know.
18:57Might get some specific information on what kind of a bomb it was.
19:00Yet the whole town in an uproar, we might find out it's a false alarm.
19:03Possible.
19:04Could be he's an amateur and he bungled it so the thing won't even go off.
19:08Just don't bet on it.
19:09Those visitors are what bug me.
19:11We can miss one of them easy.
19:13Yeah.
19:14All right, so she doesn't turn on her radio, she doesn't turn on her TV.
19:18She doesn't look in her purse.
19:20So we can't help her.
19:24Just like that.
19:26Just like that, George.
19:27Some innocent girl blown to pieces and I had to have one of my lousy hunches.
19:31You take these things too personal, Brian.
19:33You know, I've noticed lately you take it on yourself for every case we work on.
19:36What's with you?
19:37Maybe I just don't live right, huh?
19:39You sure don't.
19:40It's been six years since Amy passed away.
19:42I'll bet you haven't been out with a woman in that whole time.
19:45Come off it.
19:46All right, Amy was the greatest.
19:48But life goes on, a guy's got to keep punching.
19:51Look at Jenny and me.
19:53When we lost a little girl, I thought the whole world had been kicked right out from underneath me.
19:57We had to pick up the pieces and keep going on.
20:02Now, we got the new little one and everything's great again.
20:07What's so funny?
20:13Wouldn't it be great if you found this girl with a bomb in her purse and she turned out to be a big, beautiful, luscious thing?
20:19Well, the two of you decided to...
20:22Hey, wouldn't that be something, huh?
20:23George, my boy, you ought to write for TV, you know.
20:47Don't neighbors know anything?
20:48Nothing much.
20:49The lady says he lived alone, kept pretty much to himself.
20:52What did he work at?
20:54Nothing lately.
20:55She said he was some kind of an engineer with a water and power company.
20:57He got fired about two years ago.
20:59Yeah, that's it.
21:00That's it motive.
21:01Wiley, water and power commissioner.
21:03Probably blamed him for losing his job.
21:05Mm-hmm.
21:07All right, I'll look over the house.
21:08You check the garage.
21:09All right.
21:22All right.
21:28You check the garage.
21:29I'll see you.
21:30All right.
21:30You check the garage.
22:05Do you see George's wife?
22:22Yeah.
22:26I'll stop by for a few minutes.
22:30What can you say?
22:32Yeah.
22:33Well, I'll stop.
22:37She's with her mother now.
22:40Why would a guy booby-trap his garage?
22:42No, I don't know.
22:47The twisted mind like that.
22:48Maybe he was set to hold up there if we came for him.
22:53All right, what's the score?
22:56We're down to 16.
22:57Not a clue, though.
23:07Hi, Lieutenant.
23:09Nary a bomb, nary a bomb.
23:11So, here's five names you can cross right off your list.
23:13I wish you could have seen some of the things I took out of those women's handbags.
23:17You wouldn't believe it.
23:20Yeah, that's perfume.
23:22Lieutenant, I think you better write me a note so my wife won't clobber me.
23:25You know, sometimes, son, you just kill me, you know that.
23:28Hey, what's the matter with him?
23:33I never saw him act that way before.
23:35George Dumont's dead.
23:36Blown up.
23:38You know how close they were?
23:39All right, what's with this first one, Kimball?
23:48She's a commercial artist.
23:50An agency in the building handles her stuff.
23:51Never mind the biography.
23:52Why can't you reach her?
23:53Sorry.
23:55No answer from her phone.
23:57No one home when I sent a car.
23:59But I got some more stuff from the agency.
24:02Ten to one, she'd be dining out with her boyfriend.
24:04That's a Robert Larrymore of Northern Lithograph.
24:06His favorite restaurants are Mazarin's and Angelo's.
24:10And the Seventh Heaven, if he's in a dancing mood.
24:14Okay, okay, that's nice work.
24:17Now, what about Delacruz?
24:20She was a name on an appointment pad in this Rogers office for 4.30 this afternoon.
24:25The Heinz Building Super phoned it in.
24:28This Rogers is a young architect.
24:30No secretary, and he can't be located.
24:33I'd leave Brundage in charge from here on in you,
24:35and I'd better do the legwork.
24:36Okay, starting when?
24:37Starting right now.
24:38I'll take numbers one and two, you take three and four.
24:40Keep in constant touch with me on your car radio.
24:42Right.
24:43Bernie.
24:43Yep?
24:46Listen, the experts checked over this garage.
24:51This stuff is the latest in high explosive.
24:53And don't just be careful.
24:57You be very, very careful.
25:00Okay.
25:00Okay.
25:05Did you enjoy my comfort?
25:14Of course, I always do.
25:16Now, Miss Kimball, for the hundredth time,
25:18may I beg for the supreme honor of your hand in marriage?
25:21Bob, you promised not to tonight.
25:23Well, I can't help it.
25:24I'm crazy about you.
25:26Look, Jane, why don't we take the plunge?
25:28If it's your work you're thinking about...
25:30Excuse me, Mr. Larrimore and Miss Jane Kimball?
25:33Yes.
25:34Who are you?
25:35Police.
25:36Lieutenant Rome, special squad.
25:38I have to talk to Miss Kimball.
25:40Well, here I am.
25:43What did you want to talk to me about?
25:47Miss Kimball, is it correct that you were at the Heinz building this afternoon?
25:50You left at five o'clock.
25:52Yes, that's right.
25:53You took elevator number one on the west side.
25:54Is that correct?
25:55Yes.
25:56Yes, I did.
25:56Oh, what is this?
25:57A quiz game?
25:58Tell Miss Kimball what you want and let's get it over with.
26:01Is that the same bag you were using then?
26:03Oh, yes, as a matter of...
26:04Now, wait a minute.
26:05Bob, I'm sure Lieutenant Rome knows what he's doing.
26:07I wish you'd explain it.
26:10Explain it.
26:10Just don't react.
26:12I want to cause a panic in the restaurant.
26:15This afternoon, a man was caught trying to plant a bomb in Walker Wiley's office.
26:18It's a little thing.
26:19It's very powerful.
26:20He got away.
26:21Elevator number one on the west side.
26:22On the trip down, something, a fear or impulse, maybe he didn't want to be caught with it.
26:27Made him slip it into a woman's handbag.
26:31But...
26:31What are you going to do about it?
26:33Well, I'd just like to borrow your handbag for a little while.
26:37Oh, I don't know about this.
26:38Do you want to see my badge again?
26:39Bob.
26:40All right, now I'm going to take that thing from outside the window.
26:42It'll be safer that way.
26:44I'll go through the side door.
26:46Don't do anything to attract any attention.
26:49I expect you both to cooperate.
26:50He is on the level.
26:58He could be killed at almost any moment.
27:00All right.
29:12You got on that elevator at the top floor?
29:15Yes.
29:15What do you want me to remember?
29:16The number of stops the elevator made and the floor as possible.
29:20Oh, I doubt it.
29:21Three or four stops.
29:24If it was faces you wanted me to remember.
29:27What about faces?
29:29Well, I have almost total recall on faces.
29:31I make a living by drawing them, so...
29:32You mean you could draw every face on that elevator?
29:34Well, everyone I happen to look at, yes.
29:36I could try.
29:38I try.
29:38Oh, here.
29:41Here.
29:41There's three.
30:07Yeah.
30:09It's the man.
30:10That's Elser.
30:12The man with the bomb?
30:14He was standing right next to me.
30:18I think of the poor girl who really has it walking around not knowing her.
30:22You'll find her, won't you?
30:23Well, let's keep that thought.
30:26We only have an hour and a half of the outside.
30:28I'll take this, if I may.
30:29Thank you very much, Miss Kimball.
30:31Good night.
30:32Plot's a lot, Rome.
30:35Well, I wonder where the waiter is.
30:37I need another drink.
30:44Rome.
30:45Try to go Jane Kimball.
30:46Anything for Bernie?
30:47Yeah.
30:48There's two more canceled out.
30:50He's looking after number five.
30:51We ought to be getting closer, huh?
30:53Yeah, further away.
30:54I'm going after the Delquist woman now.
31:11I told you I'd be home at nine.
31:13It's only a quarter past now.
31:15Why all the questions?
31:17What were you doing between four and six this afternoon?
31:19I was shopping with Gladys Rubin.
31:22I phoned the Rubins.
31:23At 5.45, the sister said that Gladys had just left to meet you.
31:26Now, what were you doing between four and six?
31:28All right, if you must know, I was at the bridge club.
31:30But I didn't lose any money.
31:32You're lying.
31:33I phoned the bridge club, too.
31:35You were with Rogers, weren't you?
31:36No.
31:36You spent most of the afternoon with young Rogers,
31:38and you weren't discussing architecture.
31:39You're a filthy suspicious.
31:40If you think you can put anything like that over on me,
31:42you're out of your head.
31:42I don't have to stay here and listen to this.
31:44I'm getting out of here, and I'm not coming back.
31:46You're staying here until I get the truth.
31:52Who's there?
31:54Dolquist?
31:55Is there a miss or a Mrs. Dolquist here, first name Marjorie?
32:12I'm Mrs. Marjorie Dolquist.
32:14What do you want?
32:14Police, special squad, Lieutenant Rome.
32:17Well, what is it?
32:18There's something about my car.
32:19I haven't done anything wrong.
32:20It's nothing like that, Mrs. Dolquist.
32:22We need your help.
32:22It's urgent.
32:25Yes?
32:26Were you visiting the Heinz building this afternoon,
32:29and did you leave about 5 o'clock?
32:31What right do you have to question me?
32:34Mrs. Dolquist, this is a matter of people's lives, maybe yours.
32:38Now, when you left the building,
32:39did you take elevator number one on the west side?
32:42Of course not.
32:43I wasn't in the building or anywhere near the building.
32:46What makes you think she was there, Lieutenant?
32:49Well, her name was on an appointment pad
32:51in one of the business offices.
32:52Rogers, an architect, for 4 p.m.
32:55Why, why, why, that's impossible.
32:58Oh, I think I know what happened.
33:00I did make an appointment last week,
33:01but then I called and canceled it.
33:04Well, Mrs. Dolquist,
33:05we're not concerned with the appointment,
33:07just with the elevator trip.
33:11On west elevator number one at 5 o'clock today,
33:14one of the passengers was a man escaping from the police.
33:16To get rid of a bomb he was carrying,
33:18he slipped it into an unknown woman's handbag.
33:20So far, we haven't been able to locate that woman.
33:22The bomb is set to explode at 11 o'clock.
33:25A sharp movement could set it off any time.
33:29Hold it!
33:30So you were with him,
33:31so you don't care what I do with this?
33:32Shut up!
33:33Dolquist.
33:34You were with him.
33:36Dolquist, give me the bag.
33:38You were with him!
33:39Dolquist!
34:06No bomb.
34:06It's okay, Mr. Dolquist.
34:15Yeah.
34:17It's fine.
34:18It's fine.
34:36It's fine.
35:01It's fine.
35:01We missed out.
35:11Somehow, some girl didn't get in on any of those lists.
35:15So what do we do?
35:17Sit around and wait for a girl to get blown up, I guess.
35:31Now you can call your mother.
35:35And don't say I don't look after you.
35:37You're wonderful.
35:40Hello, will you get pleasant 88866 for me, please?
35:44You know something?
35:45You look beautiful even when you're phoning.
35:50All right, thank you.
35:52I'll try again later.
35:55Mother of mine, I never know where she is.
36:01Did you get a load of those glasses?
36:05If a high wind got on them, he'd fly.
36:08Glasses.
36:11Glasses.
36:13That girl.
36:15Bob, I've just thought of something.
36:16I've got to call Lieutenant Rome at once.
36:18Might be terribly important.
36:22Here.
36:24Take a look at this.
36:25See if you recognize either one of those two women's faces.
36:28Both of them are on the elevator.
36:29Yeah, that's Mrs. Houser, the last one I got.
36:32The other one's one of my first lot.
36:38Special squad.
36:41Yeah, sure, he's right here.
36:42Just a minute.
36:43Jane Kimball for you says it's urgent.
36:46Hello, Miss Kimball.
36:47Lieutenant, did you find the girl yet?
36:49No, why?
36:50Well, I just remembered someone else who was in that elevator.
36:53Can you draw her face as well as you did the other two?
36:56Better.
36:56She's an easy subject.
36:57Well, then get drawing.
36:59Please, are you still at that restaurant?
37:02All right, I'll be right over.
37:04Come on, Bernie.
37:11That's her, Lieutenant.
37:12Thanks.
37:16Thank you very much, Miss Kimball.
37:17Well, that's the last of Prince Valiant.
37:23I hope.
37:26Most unfunny.
37:27Mother, where in the world have you been?
37:45I've been worried about you.
37:47Well, I was home for a few minutes at 5.30.
37:51There wasn't a sign of you.
37:52My dear, if you wouldn't talk so much, I'd be able to tell you what's happened.
37:56I'm going off with Martha Bailey for the weekend.
38:00Yes, I'll be back on Monday.
38:02Goodbye, dear.
38:03Have fun.
38:04There, now.
38:07Let's see.
38:08You have my suitcase.
38:09I have my coat.
38:10And, oh, dear.
38:12Hurry, Agnes.
38:13We have a train to catch.
38:14You see?
38:15That's typical of Janie.
38:16Such a brilliant child.
38:18But she's so untidy.
38:20She comes in, throws down her drawings, and forgets all about them.
38:24I'll just put this in her room.
38:26And then we'll be off.
38:28Agnes, will you please hurry enough?
38:31Don't be impatient, Martha.
38:33Here I am.
38:34Miss Snyder?
39:02Yes, what is it?
39:03Police, special squad, Lieutenant Rome.
39:06Miss Snyder, your mother told us where you were.
39:08When you left the Heinz building this afternoon...
39:10Well, this is that bomb business, is it?
39:11Well, you're wasting your time, Lieutenant.
39:13I heard the broadcast at six and checked in both my bags.
39:15There wasn't any bomb.
39:17And you couldn't take five minutes out to let us know?
39:21Why should I call?
39:22I mean, how should I know?
39:24There was no bomb, period.
39:30Did you say both your bags?
39:33Purse miscellaneous.
39:35Attaché case, work.
39:41Where's the phone?
39:42Booth, gas-faced, anything?
39:44A couple of booths in the corner of Alvin and Wedgwood.
39:46Jane Kimball, after all.
40:01How come?
40:02It's my fault.
40:04Elsa said, girl's bag.
40:05Me, I give out handbag.
40:06I'm not smart enough to figure some girl might have another bag besides her purse.
40:09She told me she had a bunch of drawings with her.
40:18Twenty minutes, eleven.
40:27Pull our house numbers in there.
40:29I'll get the rest.
40:29Angelus, two sau exile.
40:31Four hours.
40:44Three hours.
40:48Three hours.
40:49Two hours.
40:49Three hours.
40:50Four hours.
40:52I went to the restaurant a few minutes ago.
41:08I went home at the house.
41:14Look, you figure she's taking this other bag around with her?
41:18She might. How would I know?
41:20Maybe she dropped it off at the house before she went out.
41:25All right, that's where we'll go anyway. Let's hope she's on her way there. If not, we're sunk.
41:45Now, don't go on being mad at me.
41:47Oh, let's just forget about it, hmm? Shall we?
41:54Oh.
41:58There won't be a newscast until 11.
42:02Oh, there might be a special bulletin.
42:04Who in the world?
42:08I'll get it.
42:15I have to see Miss Kimball right away.
42:17I'll tell her you're here.
42:18Miss Kimball.
42:19Well, Lieutenant, what...
42:20When you left your agent's office this afternoon, did you take any pictures with you?
42:22Yes, the ones he didn't want.
42:24What did you carry them in?
42:25Well, my portfolio, of course.
42:27Oh, but you said handbag.
42:28I'm stupid. Where is it now, the portfolio?
42:30Oh, let me think.
42:32I put it down in here.
42:34I'm sure I did.
42:37Mother must have put it away somewhere.
42:40It'll be in my room.
42:41Oh, wait a minute.
42:42Don't go in there.
42:43All right, now, you just reach inside and turn on the light, and you show me where it is.
42:54There it is, on the table over there.
42:57All right, now, you two get as far back as you can.
43:00I'm going to take it outside.
43:13Please be careful.
43:43Honey, you really don't think there's a bomb in that case of yours, do you?
43:52Okay, Brian?
43:54Could you run another blank?
44:02Okay, Miss Kimball, no bomb.
44:03I'm sorry to have covered it.
44:08Lieutenant?
44:13He's gone.
44:25No.
44:26No, I won't say I told you.
44:28I'll apologize.
44:29And politely this time.
44:31Cut out the postmortems, Bob, please.
44:33I'm sorry.
44:36Look, I'm awfully tired.
44:38Why don't you just say goodnight?
44:40Now, have a heart, darling.
44:41Don't I even get a drink for the road?
44:43All right, if you must.
44:45One.
44:45You mix it yourself.
44:48Okay.
44:51You want one?
44:52Just think of that man, Bob.
45:06He's running around trying to save a girl's life.
45:10She doesn't even know.
45:12It's 11.
45:19Now I can hear that newscast.
45:25Despite my jesting, my lady, my love which I bear for you is boundless in this lowly, aching heart.
45:32Bob, you flounder.
45:33I know.
45:34Please, I want to hear the newscast.
45:36Come on, now, Jane.
45:37Let's get serious.
45:39Mr. Simmel!
45:41Oh, no.
45:41No.
45:42Not again.
45:50Miss Kimmel, I just thought of something.
45:52You said that your mother moved that case?
45:53Yes, she did.
45:54Well, the bomb could have dropped out when she moved it.
45:55Now, where did you put it when you came home?
45:57Oh, I don't remember.
46:00I think I put it in that chair.
46:04Rome, don't you think we've had about enough of this?
46:08No.
46:10No, I put it, I put it there at that end, under that coat.
46:27That's it.
46:30It's 11.
46:31That thing's going to go off.
46:34Come on, move, go!
46:38Come on, move, go!
47:04Come on, come on.
47:12It's all over.
47:33Suddenly, I'm shaky.
47:36Yeah.
47:41There's no reason to shake now.
47:43Of course not.
47:47Must have been an awful day for you.
47:49I'll sleep tonight.
47:52Well, that explosion will probably bring a crowd.
47:55I guess I'd better get out of there.
47:56Um, do you have to go?
47:59I mean, can't you stay a while?
48:02Have a cup of coffee?
48:07What happened to your boyfriend?
48:08Hmm.
48:09It's funny how you think you know someone, and suddenly you don't.
48:15I told him to keep running.
48:22Yeah, well, I...
48:24I guess my sergeant could take care of the crowd.
48:27Then you'll stay.
48:33Now, suddenly I feel a great need for a cup of coffee.
48:36I don't think you'll be a good part of it.
48:38I guess it's hard to take care of the crowd.
48:39And I feel like I'm sorry.
48:42I'll be fine.
48:42I think I'll be fine.
48:44But, then I'll be fine.
48:45I think I'll be fine.
