00:02:31¶¶
00:02:32¶¶
00:02:33¶¶
00:02:34She's Tom Duncan's widow.
00:02:38Widow?
00:02:39That's what she said.
00:02:53Yes?
00:02:55This is Lagana.
00:03:00I'm glad you called me, Mrs. Duncan.
00:03:03I appreciate it.
00:03:07Yes, of course we will get together.
00:03:09But now I suggest you call the police immediately.
00:03:28Call Vince.
00:03:33Mr. Lagana wants Vince Stone.
00:03:43It's his girl. She says he's playing cards.
00:03:46It's not a social call, Debbie. Tell Vince I want him. Right away.
00:03:55Oh, sure, Mr. Lagana. I always like to tell Vince you're calling. I like to see him jump.
00:04:01Vance!
00:04:05It's him!
00:04:07Oh, pass the deal, huh?
00:04:14Why don't you shut the door and see if anybody needs a drink?
00:04:16Well, I don't know about your politicians, but I'm so bored I need one.
00:04:25Two.
00:04:26Debbie!
00:04:29Debbie!
00:04:30Shut the door!
00:04:39Yes, Mike?
00:04:41Well, I didn't know if the private line was ringing or I would have answered it myself.
00:04:44When?
00:04:48When did it happen?
00:04:51Well, sure, I'll see to it.
00:04:52I'll see you, Lord.
00:05:04Too bad you had to make the trip out from headquarters, Sergeant.
00:05:07I'm out of bed, you mean.
00:05:09When a cop killed himself, they won a full report.
00:05:11Did you know him?
00:05:12He was in charge of the record bureau.
00:05:15Single contact wound. Powder burn on his temple and right hand.
00:05:19Suicide, no question.
00:05:21Tell the wagon boys they can have them, huh?
00:05:22Yes.
00:05:26No note of anything, huh, Gus?
00:05:28No, nothing.
00:05:30You better make a list of all this stuff for the report, huh?
00:05:32Right.
00:05:34I went upstairs. I would talk with Mrs. Duncan.
00:05:42Mrs. Duncan?
00:05:44I won't keep you very long.
00:05:46You needn't apologize. I know this is necessary.
00:05:49Please, sit down.
00:05:53My name is David Banyan.
00:05:55I...
00:05:57knew your husband.
00:05:59I knew your husband.
00:06:01I knew your husband.
00:06:03I knew your husband.
00:06:05I knew your husband.
00:06:07I knew your husband.
00:06:09I knew your husband.
00:06:10I knew your husband slightly.
00:06:14Tom had many friends.
00:06:16Do you mind telling me what happened?
00:06:20When I first heard the shot,
00:06:23I was too surprised to move for a few seconds.
00:06:27Then I ran downstairs.
00:06:29When I found him, he was...
00:06:32He was dead.
00:06:36I'm sorry I have to ask you these questions,
00:06:38but they want a full report downtown.
00:06:40Of course.
00:06:42When a policeman kills himself,
00:06:45the department gets worried.
00:06:48That depends on the circumstances.
00:06:53There weren't any circumstances.
00:06:55Everything Tom ever did...
00:06:58was clean and wholesome.
00:07:00That's the kind of man he was.
00:07:04Mm-hmm.
00:07:06Do you know why he took his life?
00:07:10Well, it...
00:07:12must have been his health.
00:07:17Several times...
00:07:19the past few months, he complained...
00:07:21about a pain along his left side.
00:07:27When I suggested he see the police surgeon...
00:07:31he'd make excuses.
00:07:34I think he was afraid, too.
00:07:37Then he didn't see a doctor.
00:07:40Not that he ever told me.
00:07:43Well...
00:07:45you've been most helpful.
00:07:48Now, look, if there's anything you need...
00:07:50anything at all...
00:07:51you get in touch with us, huh?
00:07:53Thank you, Mr. Nathaniel.
00:07:55Goodbye, Mrs. Duncan.
00:08:04What's with dinner?
00:08:06How about putting the paper down and helping?
00:08:07All right.
00:08:14Whoops.
00:08:16Hey.
00:08:21What's that, steak?
00:08:23Medium rare.
00:08:25How many steaks on my salary?
00:08:27You know, downtown, they just don't believe me.
00:08:30Tell them you married an heiress.
00:08:32All right.
00:08:34Next year, when Joyce starts kindergarten...
00:08:37she's gonna have to kiss the steaks goodbye...
00:08:39until she finishes college.
00:08:41Unless you become police commissioner in the meantime.
00:08:44Mm. That's inevitable.
00:08:46Oh, naturally.
00:08:48Okay, commissioner.
00:08:50You get the stringy end of the steak.
00:08:54Hey, what about Joyce?
00:08:56She go to bed all right?
00:08:58Just the usual tug of war.
00:09:00She had to go to the bathroom a few times...
00:09:02hear three stories and have a glass of water...
00:09:04before she finally went to sleep.
00:09:06She's angelic all day, but at night she's a holy terror.
00:09:10That's the way I usually describe you.
00:09:14Hey, that's what the book says, though, doesn't it?
00:09:16Be patient but firm.
00:09:18The book, the book.
00:09:20Very scientific and calm.
00:09:22Trouble is, the authors have never met our daughter.
00:09:25Well, it's very simple.
00:09:26She's madly in love with me, that's all.
00:09:28Hey, you know something?
00:09:30That's the conflict between the two of you.
00:09:32You're both in love with the same wonderful guy.
00:09:34Right?
00:09:36Wrong.
00:09:38We're just used to you.
00:09:39Well?
00:09:45How is it?
00:09:47It's good steak.
00:09:49Thanks.
00:09:51You want some beer?
00:09:52I'll take a sip of yours.
00:09:54You see, that's exactly what I mean.
00:09:55It's a perfect marriage.
00:09:56The same scotch, the same cigarette, the same can of beer.
00:10:00Among other things.
00:10:03Hey, you know something?
00:10:05I'm gonna drink mine, I'm gonna take a sip of yours.
00:10:08That'll be something different for a change, huh?
00:10:11They'll wait Joyce.
00:10:15Hello?
00:10:17Well, he's having dinner.
00:10:19Oh.
00:10:23It's Sergeant Tom.
00:10:27Hello, Marty.
00:10:29He...
00:10:31What?
00:10:33Who says Duncan didn't kill himself?
00:10:35I saw the body, Marty.
00:10:36There's no question about it being suicide.
00:10:41Uh, what's your name?
00:10:50All right, I'll go see him.
00:11:04Lucy Chapman, run.
00:11:10The last stool on the other end.
00:11:17Lucy Chapman.
00:11:20Yeah?
00:11:21I'm banning you for homicide.
00:11:22Oh.
00:11:24This band playing, you need megaphones to talk at the bar.
00:11:27We can sit in the booth.
00:11:29All right.
00:11:41Okay, what is this information you have?
00:11:44This story's all wrong, Mr. Bang.
00:11:46Why, Tom would you kill himself?
00:11:49He wasn't worried about his health.
00:11:50Not for a single minute.
00:11:52No?
00:11:53What was he worried about?
00:11:54Nothing.
00:11:55Nothing at all.
00:11:57Not after his wife agreed to divorce him.
00:12:01Duncan told you he was getting a divorce?
00:12:03Well, he talked about nothing else.
00:12:05When was this?
00:12:06Night before last.
00:12:07My night off.
00:12:09What'll it be, folks?
00:12:10Oh, you don't have to order anything.
00:12:11That's all right.
00:12:12I'll have a beer.
00:12:13What about you?
00:12:14Only when I'm working.
00:12:20How'd you get to know Duncan?
00:12:22Well, I...
00:12:23I met him a year ago.
00:12:25The year last, May 11th, down on Lakeside.
00:12:29Tom owned a summer place there.
00:12:32I liked him right away.
00:12:34He was a real wonderful guy, Mr. Banyan.
00:12:37Nice and gentle.
00:12:4135, Mr. Pay now.
00:12:47Tom used to come to the club every night.
00:12:53His wife traveled a lot.
00:12:56Sometimes when she was away, I...
00:12:59I used to go to the house.
00:13:01We'd go swimming and then lie around in the sun.
00:13:04That sounds very cozy.
00:13:06Oh, it wasn't that way, Mr. Banyan.
00:13:09Oh, sure.
00:13:10Sure.
00:13:11Please.
00:13:12Please, you've got to believe that.
00:13:13You've got to understand how things were with Tom.
00:13:15How he was caught between the two of us.
00:13:17Between me and that...
00:13:18That leech he was married to.
00:13:20What's your pitch, Lucy?
00:13:22Trying to use us for a shakedown?
00:13:24Shakedown?
00:13:27Me?
00:13:33Sure.
00:13:35I understand.
00:13:36You're covering up for a cop's widow.
00:13:37You don't want to find out anything that'll change her story.
00:13:40No, I want to find out facts.
00:13:41Oh, in the pig's eye, you want facts.
00:13:43The only difference between me and Bertha Duncan is that I work at being a B-girl.
00:13:46And she has a wedding ring and a marriage certificate.
00:13:48That'll be all.
00:13:49Maybe for you.
00:13:50I can still talk to the newspapers.
00:13:52I know.
00:13:53You can talk yourself into a lot of trouble.
00:13:54So what?
00:13:55At least I'll show she's a liar.
00:13:58Tom had no reason to kill himself.
00:14:00The fact is, he did kill himself.
00:14:02And that's positive.
00:14:03Can I have a brandy?
00:14:16Oh, she claims that she saw your husband a few nights ago.
00:14:22Wednesday night.
00:14:23And there was nothing wrong with his health.
00:14:26What are you trying to say, Mr. Banyan?
00:14:30I'm just trying to check up on her story.
00:14:35Find out why your husband took his life.
00:14:38Maybe I've been trying too hard to keep our dirty family linen from being washed in public.
00:14:43I suppose that woman told you about their relationship.
00:14:51She said your husband was in good health and very cheerful, Mrs. Duncan.
00:14:56And that you'd agreed to divorce him.
00:14:58She's a liar.
00:15:00Tom never wanted a divorce.
00:15:02And he wasn't a well man.
00:15:04I have no choice now.
00:15:07Except to tell you about Tom and myself.
00:15:10In the years we were married, there were four Lucy Chapmans.
00:15:16Four that I found out about.
00:15:19Tom was vain.
00:15:21He had to prove to himself that he was still attractive to women.
00:15:26Maybe he did boast to that woman that he was in good health.
00:15:29What else would you expect him to do?
00:15:36I wish this visit hadn't been necessary.
00:15:38There's a chance that Lucy Chapman might try a little blackmail.
00:15:42She knows that you own that house at Lakeside.
00:15:44She probably thinks you're wealthy.
00:15:48A wealthy policeman would be a novelty.
00:15:53Thank you for your patience, Mr. Banyan.
00:15:56There's just one small thing I'd like to clear up.
00:15:58You know, so there'll be no loose ends.
00:16:00Of course.
00:16:02Would you mind telling me about the house at Lakeside?
00:16:04When it was bought, the price it was paid, and small details like that?
00:16:08I'd mind very much.
00:16:10For Tom's sake, I resent the implication of your questions.
00:16:13Look, Mrs. Duncan, there was no implication.
00:16:16Lucy Chapman may run to the newspapers,
00:16:19and it's my job to have the material to offset any insinuations that she might make.
00:16:23And it's my job, with Tom dead and defenseless,
00:16:25to preserve his good name the best way I can.
00:16:28Good night, Mr. Banyan.
00:16:32Good night.
00:16:34Good night.
00:16:36Good night, where will they come from?
00:16:37Good night.
00:16:38Good night, Mr.,
00:16:56Well, so long.
00:17:03Here you are, sir.
00:17:26Trouble automatically catches up with girls like her.
00:17:42Looks like a sex crime to me.
00:17:45You said she wasn't attacked.
00:17:47Well, that's not unusual in this type case.
00:17:50I'd say pretty definitely it was psychopathic.
00:17:53You saw the cigarette burns on her body?
00:17:56Yeah, I saw them.
00:17:59Every single one of them.
00:18:02What's that name again, Sergeant?
00:18:04Miss Chapman. Lucy Chapman.
00:18:13A lieutenant's been buzzing you every ten minutes.
00:18:16He didn't say what for.
00:18:23Sit down, Dave.
00:18:29I had a call from upstairs.
00:18:32What have you been bothering Mrs. Duncan about?
00:18:35Just routine.
00:18:36Well, the first time was.
00:18:38Not the second visit.
00:18:40Did she complain?
00:18:42Somebody did.
00:18:44It was bad judgment to bother a cop's widow about the love life of her husband.
00:18:50Good or bad, it was my judgment.
00:18:52You're missing the point.
00:18:53I'm the one that gets the pressure calls from upstairs.
00:18:56I'm the one that has to explain.
00:18:58You don't keep an office like this very long, stepping on a lot of corns.
00:19:01You want me to go upstairs and explain?
00:19:03Not you.
00:19:04You're a court-stepper by instinct.
00:19:06Now, all I'm asking you to do, and I'm not even ordering it, Dave, stop bothering Mrs. Duncan.
00:19:14I don't want to jam you up, Ted, but I may have to see her once more.
00:19:18Why?
00:19:19You any doubt Duncan killed himself?
00:19:22No, none at all.
00:19:26I just got back from the county morgue.
00:19:28The bar flight?
00:19:29I read the teletype about your identification.
00:19:32Lucy Chapman used to be Duncan's girlfriend.
00:19:34Damn, the Army's and Navy's.
00:19:35Yeah, maybe so.
00:19:36She talks to me just once, and like that she's dead.
00:19:39That's county homicide's headache.
00:19:42Let's worry about this office.
00:19:44We're spilling over with unfinished business.
00:19:47Lucy Chapman was probably trying to shake down some sucker who wouldn't shake.
00:19:52When bar flies get killed, it's for any one of a dozen crummy reasons.
00:19:55You know that.
00:19:56Let the sheriff's office sort out this deep, sir.
00:19:59Meanwhile, we'll stop pestering the widow.
00:20:02Okay?
00:20:08You still asking?
00:20:10No more.
00:20:12I'm telling you.
00:20:17First I know Lucy's quitting's about two in the morning.
00:20:27She comes to me and asks to be paid off.
00:20:29Did she say why?
00:20:30I don't ask.
00:20:32All any of these dames owe me is a night's work.
00:20:35One night at a time.
00:20:36They come and go like flies.
00:20:38Only this fly got herself strangled.
00:20:40These things happen, Sergeant.
00:20:42Outside of my place, some of these babes keep pretty shady company.
00:20:45It figures.
00:20:46They know nobody cares much what happens to them.
00:20:49She have any close friends among the other girls here?
00:20:51They don't stay long enough to make friends.
00:20:52Where did she live?
00:20:54If I ask for an address, they lie.
00:20:56It's not worth the bother.
00:20:57They're floaters.
00:20:58Not much more than a suitcase full of nothing between them and the gutter.
00:21:01Hey, you know something?
00:21:03You ought to be doing radio commercials.
00:21:06How to talk a lot and say nothing.
00:21:08Why, I'd be tickled to help if I could.
00:21:11Sure.
00:21:12When I get some answers, I'll be back.
00:21:15Glad to see you anytime, Sergeant.
00:21:33This is Tierney.
00:21:52Tell him it's important.
00:21:55Sorry to bother you.
00:21:58Banyan just left here.
00:22:00No, sir.
00:22:02I just gave him a lot of double talk.
00:22:04He said he'd be back again.
00:22:06Yes, sir.
00:22:07I will.
00:22:13Okay, Buster.
00:22:14Who'd you call?
00:22:16My mother.
00:22:21Would you rather go downtown to answer the questions?
00:22:23Don't scare me, Sergeant.
00:22:25Five minutes after we get downtown, you'll be answering the questions.
00:22:29Get your coat.
00:22:30Sure.
00:22:31Only somebody will want to know why you're butting into a county case.
00:22:35Why you don't stop annoying people.
00:22:37Especially after you've been told once.
00:22:39You get your news fast, don't you?
00:22:41Special carrier pigeon.
00:22:43Do we still go downtown?
00:22:46No, not today.
00:22:48When we do, I'll have enough answers to close this joint up.
00:22:51Tell that to your mother.
00:22:53Tell that to your mother.
00:23:21All right.
00:23:22Who wants to go downtown?
00:23:23Thanks, Jack.
00:23:24I'll have an answer to the question.
00:23:25Alright, when was I getting ready?
00:23:26I'll have enough answers to you.
00:23:27I got a chance to do this.
00:23:28But really, there's a new dinner.
00:23:29I got a lot of to go downtown.
00:23:30Do you want to know who else was going down?
00:23:31I'm looking for my mother.
00:23:32I got an answer to the question.
00:23:33Right, you're coming and I'm looking for my mother.
00:23:34I got a message.
00:23:35I got a question.
00:23:36I got a question.
00:23:37I need a question?
00:23:38You're any question?
00:23:39I got a question.
00:23:40I am a question.
00:23:41Oh, that's the most beautiful castle in the whole world.
00:23:59It's a pay station, Daddy. Just like you.
00:24:02Hello, little bossy. Where's big bossy?
00:24:04Here.
00:24:05Hello, Daddy.
00:24:06Hello.
00:24:06What's the old ordinance? Are you speaking company?
00:24:11Al and Marge are coming to dinner.
00:24:13Come, Daddy. Help me build the roof.
00:24:16You better shower and get some cocktails ready.
00:24:31You look down in the dumps.
00:24:34It's nothing much.
00:24:34Is it a case?
00:24:36I've told you it's nothing.
00:24:38You have to use a different tone if you expect me to believe that.
00:24:40All right. I'll bring home an affidavit tomorrow.
00:24:43I'm sorry.
00:24:46I'm sorry, baby.
00:24:48It's all right.
00:24:50You're entitled to let off steam?
00:24:53It's just a letdown.
00:24:56I don't know. I guess it's a kind of an occupational disease with cops.
00:25:01You know that girl who phoned at Lucy Chapman?
00:25:04Mm-hmm.
00:25:06Well, she's a case now.
00:25:08County homicide.
00:25:13I'm sorry, darling.
00:25:15I'm...
00:25:15It's all right, darling.
00:25:17Daddy will help you build even a bigger one.
00:25:20Let's go see who's phoning us.
00:25:22Can I talk?
00:25:23Of course.
00:25:24Hello?
00:25:25Yes, it is.
00:25:34Who is this?
00:25:37He wants you.
00:25:40Who is it?
00:25:41I... I don't know.
00:25:49Is Dave Banyam?
00:25:50Listen, slob.
00:25:52Stop minding other people's business if you want to stay alive.
00:25:56Some big people are getting annoyed.
00:25:58Who is this?
00:25:59What did he say to you?
00:26:05You can fill in the four-letter words better than I can.
00:26:09Honey, I'll try to be back before Al and Marge leave.
00:26:12But, Dave, you don't even know who called.
00:26:15No, it's just another part of the scheme to make me crawl back in my shell.
00:26:19I don't know who called, but I know where to go to find out.
00:26:22Just a moment.
00:26:48Who do you want to see?
00:26:49Mike Lugano.
00:26:52Oh, sorry.
00:26:54I didn't recognize you, sergeant.
00:26:55How many men on this detail, officer?
00:26:57Three of us on the day and night shift and four after midnight.
00:27:00Ten cops to watch over Mike Lugano.
00:27:03One hundred bucks a day are the taxpayer's money.
00:27:05Well, Mr. Lugano kind of runs things.
00:27:07I guess that's no secret.
00:27:09No, that's no secret at all.
00:27:13You like this detail?
00:27:14I do what I'm told.
00:27:16That's what we're all supposed to do, isn't it?
00:27:18Hm.
00:27:22Good evening, sir.
00:27:34I'm from the police department.
00:27:35Is Mr. Lugano in?
00:27:36I'll see, sir.
00:27:37Yes.
00:27:37It's a little drafty outside.
00:27:44Please wait.
00:27:45This way, officer.
00:28:01I promised my daughter her father wouldn't be seen or heard tonight.
00:28:05What's your name again?
00:28:06I think the butler missed it.
00:28:08Banyan.
00:28:08Dave Banyan.
00:28:09I'm from Homicide.
00:28:11I think I've heard of you.
00:28:22My mother.
00:28:25A great old lady.
00:28:27They broke the mold when they made her.
00:28:29She died last May.
00:28:35She lived here with me.
00:28:37Had her own suite of rooms.
00:28:39Her own path, everything.
00:28:41Never got over being surprised about my success.
00:28:46You didn't come here to listen to me.
00:28:49Well, what is it this time?
00:28:51Benefit dance?
00:28:52Pension fund drive?
00:28:53I came about a murder.
00:28:59You came here to my home about a murder?
00:29:02A girl named Lucy Chapman was murdered last night.
00:29:05Or this morning.
00:29:09First, she was tortured.
00:29:11Then strangled.
00:29:13Who runs your department?
00:29:14It was Lieutenant Wilkes.
00:29:16Wilkes, huh?
00:29:16Mm-hmm.
00:29:17Yeah, it was an old-fashioned killing.
00:29:19Prohibition kind.
00:29:20That's why I thought you...
00:29:21I don't care what you thought.
00:29:22I'm glad to help you boys whenever I can.
00:29:27But I got an office for that sort of thing.
00:29:29This is my home.
00:29:31And I don't like dirt tracked into it.
00:29:33I see.
00:29:35And I violated your immaculate home.
00:29:37Is that it?
00:29:38That's exactly it.
00:29:42And tomorrow morning, I'll see you don't get the chance to do it again.
00:29:45What'll you do?
00:29:46Make another phone call?
00:29:47Or have somebody make it for you?
00:29:49I've seen some dummies in my time.
00:29:52But you're in a class by yourself.
00:29:54I'm stupid because I want some answers about a murder.
00:29:56Is that it?
00:29:56Shut up and get out.
00:29:58We don't talk about those things in this house, do we?
00:30:01Oh, it's too elegant.
00:30:03Too respectable.
00:30:04Nice kids.
00:30:06Party.
00:30:07Painting a mama up there on the wall.
00:30:08No place for a stinking cop.
00:30:12It's only a place for a hoodlum who built this house out of 20 years of corruption and murder.
00:30:16I'm going to tell you something.
00:30:18You know, you couldn't plant enough flowers around here to kill the smell.
00:30:22I warned you to get out.
00:30:24Cops have homes, too.
00:30:26Only sometimes there isn't enough money to pay the rent because a cop gets hounded off the force by your thieving cockroaches for trying to do an honest job.
00:30:32George!
00:30:33What's the matter?
00:30:33You think I live under a rock or something?
00:30:35Your creeps have no compunction about phoning my house, giving me orders, talking to my wife like she was a...
00:30:40Yes, sir.
00:30:41Get rid of him.
00:30:45Let's go, mister.
00:30:45Take your hand off, George.
00:30:47It comes off when we get to your car.
00:31:01Better not, George.
00:31:05You want to pinch it for your boy, Lugano?
00:31:15What makes you think you could walk into Lugano's house and slug his bodyguard?
00:31:25You're no rookie.
00:31:26You've been around long enough to know better.
00:31:27I'm not asking you to take the rap from me.
00:31:29I'll stand up for what I do.
00:31:30Big, fancy words.
00:31:32Well, I'm in no mood for him.
00:31:33I'm the one getting the squeeze from upstairs.
00:31:36What am I supposed to do when some cop hater phones my home and insults my wife?
00:31:39Sit home and like it?
00:31:41Are you trying to tell me Lugano phones your house?
00:31:43I'm trying to tell you that nothing dirty happens in this city without Lugano's okay.
00:31:48I'm not interested in your theories.
00:31:50Not when they affect my job.
00:31:52You're just begging to go back into uniform, pounding a bead out on the sticks.
00:31:57That Lucy Chapman killing is a county squeal.
00:32:00It's the sheriff's headache, not ours.
00:32:02Now, I told you that once and I'm telling you again.
00:32:07I won't tell you a third time.
00:32:11That'll be all, Sergeant.
00:32:13Let the pans soak, Oscar, and then we come back.
00:32:27The main feature doesn't start for about an hour.
00:32:30Do you mind if I put my two cents in?
00:32:34No, honey, I don't mind.
00:32:35I've been thinking about Lieutenant Wilkes.
00:32:37That leaning tower of jelly.
00:32:42You know how long he and his wife have looked forward to retirement?
00:32:45We've done it ourselves when we've looked that far ahead.
00:32:49Wilkes only has a few more years to go.
00:32:51He's worried about his pension.
00:32:54If I had any sense, I'd have turned in my badge.
00:32:56Your big trouble, honey, is that you attack yourself from all sides, like Jersey mosquitoes.
00:33:02You don't want to quit the department, not for one minute.
00:33:05What am I supposed to do?
00:33:07Hold on to my job by just stringing along, afraid to look to the left or to the right
00:33:11because I might see something that they don't want me to see?
00:33:13If you do, you're going to have trouble for me.
00:33:16Just keep leading with your chin.
00:33:18Don't you compromise.
00:33:19That's what I wanted to hear you, sir.
00:33:22Thanks, Inspector.
00:33:25Honey.
00:33:26Hmm?
00:33:27If I tell you something, you won't laugh.
00:33:30No, I won't laugh.
00:33:32I love you.
00:33:41See, I'm not laughing.
00:33:46Let's stay home.
00:33:49We're having company.
00:33:53I can't sleep.
00:33:56Nonsense, Miss Banyan.
00:33:57You trot right back to bed.
00:33:59Hey, nothing for you to do now, according to the book,
00:34:01is to lead her to B.E.D. with great kindness and great firmness.
00:34:05Let's go.
00:34:05Suppose you try it.
00:34:07I'll drive over and get the sitter.
00:34:08Who's he getting?
00:34:09Maxine.
00:34:10Tell her not to bring half the high school along to keep her company this time, huh?
00:34:14Hey, little girls like you should be sleeping right about now.
00:34:17Tell me a story.
00:34:20In bed, darling.
00:34:22In bed.
00:34:23Which story, Daddy?
00:34:25Well, let's see.
00:34:26How about, uh, three little kittens?
00:34:29That lost them in.
00:34:30Commissioner.
00:34:31I need the car keys.
00:34:36Yeah.
00:34:38Hey.
00:34:39Nothing?
00:34:41Nothing at all.
00:34:42Be back in a minute.
00:34:44All right.
00:34:45Go on, Daddy.
00:34:47In bed first, darling.
00:34:48Here we go.
00:34:49The three little kittens that lost their mittens.
00:34:54Yep.
00:34:54Go on, Daddy.
00:34:55All right.
00:34:56And the three little kittens, uh, they lost their mittens.
00:34:59And they began to cry and, oh, they had a terrible time.
00:35:02And our mother came home and she said, oh, my, you, you kittens, you lost your mittens.
00:35:08In bed, darling.
00:35:09In bed, darling.
00:35:39Yes?
00:35:48Banyan's here, Commissioner.
00:35:49Have him come right in.
00:35:51I have a lot of work waiting for me in my office, Commissioner.
00:35:54Uh, let it wait.
00:35:55Your being here will make Banyan more comfortable.
00:35:59I didn't get the opportunity to speak to you at the funeral, Sergeant, to tell you how hard
00:36:04your tragedy has hit us all.
00:36:05Uh, sit down, will you?
00:36:06I have put in around the clock detail at your in-law's house.
00:36:11The report says that's where your child is staying.
00:36:14That's right.
00:36:14Yes, it pays to play it safe.
00:36:18How is the little girl?
00:36:20She thinks her mother went on a trip.
00:36:22Is there anything else we can do?
00:36:31Maybe a loan from the fund to tide you over this period.
00:36:34Don't hesitate, Sergeant.
00:36:36Find out who planted the dynamite in my car.
00:36:39That's item one in the department's agenda.
00:36:41I have ordered Wilkes to shove everything else aside.
00:36:44I want this case broken if it takes a hundred men to do it.
00:36:48We are checking back on every homicide you've handled.
00:36:50Why?
00:36:52I beg your pardon?
00:36:54I asked you why you're checking the files.
00:36:57Well, you've made a lot of enemies, Banyan.
00:37:00Relatives and friends of killers you sent to the chair.
00:37:03The motive was revenge.
00:37:04That's obvious.
00:37:06Is that the way it looks to you too, Lieutenant?
00:37:10Well, it's worth exploring.
00:37:13Of course, I'm only an appointed official.
00:37:15I haven't the training and experience you men have.
00:37:17But I'm certain we'll find the answer in one of these old homicides.
00:37:21Wilkes has eight men on it, full time.
00:37:24Don't worry, there'll be a payoff.
00:37:25When?
00:37:27It's natural for you to be impatient, but these things take time.
00:37:30Sometimes they take forever.
00:37:31No, that's no way to talk.
00:37:33Why, there isn't a man in the entire department
00:37:36wouldn't give a month's pay to break this case.
00:37:39What about you, Commissioner?
00:37:41How much would you give?
00:37:44Just what are you inferring, Sergeant?
00:37:46I'm asking, how much would you give
00:37:47besides a lot of phony stories to the newspapers
00:37:49and pat on the back on a few kind words for me?
00:37:51Why don't we get down to my office and talk?
00:37:52Oh, look, Dave, you've got to ease up.
00:37:55Take a few days off. I'll keep you informed.
00:37:56You.
00:37:58Why, you frightened excuse for a cup.
00:38:00Now, just a minute, Banyan.
00:38:01Why don't you trot on down to your office
00:38:02and wait for him to call your orders?
00:38:04Oh, he'll phone you just as soon as he gets his orders
00:38:06from Mike Lugana.
00:38:08I don't want to exert the authority of my office.
00:38:11I prefer remembering that you've been through a lot.
00:38:14And I'm going to give you good reason to never forget it.
00:38:17You're under suspension.
00:38:18Well, you better check with Lugana first.
00:38:21He might not approve.
00:38:22I'll have your badge and gun.
00:38:24Now.
00:38:27You can have it.
00:38:30Permanently.
00:38:32One moment.
00:38:34I asked for your gun, too.
00:38:36That doesn't belong to the department.
00:38:38It's mine.
00:38:39Bought and paid for.
00:38:40I'm warning you, officially.
00:38:46Don't try to use it.
00:38:48I won't.
00:38:50Not until I catch up with the people who murdered my wife.
00:38:54Hold on a minute.
00:39:04Make this alarm too, will you, please?
00:39:08The carriage for the truck?
00:39:09No, it's...
00:39:10They'll bill you quarterly on the storage charges, Mr. Bennion.
00:39:13Yeah, I know.
00:39:13Thanks a lot.
00:39:20Dave!
00:39:24I was just leaving.
00:39:28Let the cab go.
00:39:30I'll give you a lift.
00:39:31I prefer the cab, thank you.
00:39:36Maxie, I just left Wilkes.
00:39:39He said any off-the-record help you need is yours.
00:39:42He feels lousy about what happened.
00:39:44I put this carriage in the cab, will you, please?
00:39:48Wilkes gave me a list of mechanics with records.
00:39:50He got them from the bomb spot.
00:39:52I have a list.
00:39:53Wilkes didn't know that.
00:39:55Tell him to stop bleeding for me.
00:39:56He'll run all over his pension.
00:39:58You're way off base, Dave.
00:39:59You don't really know Wilkes.
00:40:01I don't want to know him.
00:40:04Look, I've had a belly full of the department and Wilkes.
00:40:09And you.
00:40:13Dave, I wish you'd see Father Masterson.
00:40:15You've decided people are all scared rabbits, and you spit on them.
00:40:25Look, I've got to lock up.
00:40:28No man's an island, Dave.
00:40:30You can't set yourself against the world and get away with it.
00:40:34Get out.
00:40:35I'll be so scared.
00:40:36You're so scared.
00:40:37Come on.
00:40:37Let's go.
00:41:07Do-do-do-do-do-do!
00:41:09Do-do-do-do!
00:41:13Do-do-do-do-do!
00:41:17Pam!
00:41:19Do-do-do-do-do!
00:41:23Do-do-do-do-do-do!
00:41:25Do-do-do-do-do-do!
00:41:28Is that you, Vince?
00:41:31Yeah!
00:41:32He lies with me.
00:41:33You weren't expecting somebody else, were you?
00:41:37It's better than drinking alone.
00:41:41Hi, Larry. Hi, Debbie.
00:41:43What have you been doing all day?
00:41:46Shopping.
00:41:48Some career, huh?
00:41:50Six days a week, she shops. On the seventh, she rests.
00:41:53All tired out.
00:41:55On her, it looks good.
00:41:58Thanks, friend. Go pour yourself a drink.
00:42:06Hey, that's nice perfume.
00:42:08Something new that attracts mosquitoes and repels men.
00:42:14Doesn't work that way with me.
00:42:16It's not supposed to.
00:42:19Oh, that's His Highness.
00:42:21I forgot to tell you he was stopping off.
00:42:23She forgot.
00:42:32Do you ever go to the circus, Larry?
00:42:34Uh-uh.
00:42:36You should.
00:42:37And take Vince.
00:42:38There's a man with a big hat that holds up the hoop,
00:42:40cracks the whip and the animals jump through.
00:42:42Hup, Vince. Hup, Larry. Hup, Vince. Hup, Larry.
00:42:45Hup, Vince. Hup, Larry. Hup, Vince. Hup, Larry.
00:42:47Hup, Vince. Hup.
00:42:48What about a portable act, Debbie?
00:42:50Just impersonations.
00:42:52How's your daughter, Mr. Lagina?
00:42:54She was going out formal tonight.
00:42:56Oh.
00:42:57Can you imagine that?
00:42:58She wanted me to wait and put the final okay on her dress.
00:43:01I told her what I thought didn't matter.
00:43:03Just impress that football player.
00:43:06Oh, sometimes the father means more than the football players.
00:43:08They come and go, but Dad's around for keeps.
00:43:10I hope Angela feels that way about me.
00:43:12Oh, I'll bet she does.
00:43:13Check the kitchen, will you, baby?
00:43:16Sure.
00:43:17Now it's Debbie. Hup, Debbie. Hup, Debbie. Hup, Debbie. Hup, Debbie.
00:43:22Hup, Debbie. Hup, Debbie. Hup, Debbie. Hup, Debbie. Hup, Debbie.
00:43:24Hup, Debbie. Hup, Debbie. Hup, Debbie.
00:43:25She's a young girl, Vince.
00:43:26Hup, Debbie.
00:43:27Don't let her drink so much.
00:43:28If she keeps it up, she goes out of here on her ear.
00:43:31She's got no claim check on me.
00:43:33Well, when that happens, give me a ring.
00:43:35I'm a rebound man from way back.
00:43:36I don't like gutta talk.
00:43:38Sorry.
00:43:39Sorry.
00:43:40I'm tired of hearing you sound off and then apologize.
00:43:45Vince gave you two simple contracts and you loused up both of them.
00:43:48Shut up and listen!
00:43:50Drawing the Chapman girl out on a county road brought us all the advertising we didn't want.
00:43:55Killing Mrs. Banyan.
00:43:57How stupid can you get?
00:43:59How'd I know she'd be using her car?
00:44:02Prisons are bulging with dummies who wonder how they got there.
00:44:05I can't afford people who make mistakes.
00:44:09Can I make myself clear?
00:44:11Sure.
00:44:12Vince and I have things to talk about.
00:44:18I got an appointment in half an hour with Mrs. Duncan.
00:44:22She's raised her salary to 500 a week.
00:44:25Are we gonna pay it?
00:44:27You sound like Larry.
00:44:30As long as that letter her husband left stays in her safe deposit box,
00:44:34we'll pay what she asks.
00:44:38Now, what about Banyan?
00:44:40Running around in circles.
00:44:41You sure?
00:44:42Positive.
00:44:43But if you want insurance, we can take care of them now.
00:44:49Vince, you worry me.
00:44:51We've stirred up enough headlines.
00:44:53The election's too close.
00:44:57Things are changing in this country.
00:44:58Vince, a man who can't see that, hasn't got eyes.
00:45:01You know what?
00:45:02Never get the people steamed up.
00:45:03They start doing things.
00:45:04Grand juries, election investigations, deportation proceedings.
00:45:09I don't want to land in the same ditch with the lucky Lucianos.
00:45:13We're going to land in the same ditch with the lucky Luciano's.
00:45:14Get the death of the lucky Luciano's.
00:45:16Get the decision and adjusts.
00:45:17We're going to land in the same ditch with the lucky Luciano's.
00:45:20Let's go.
00:45:40Slim Pharoah around?
00:45:44Not anymore.
00:45:45Where can I reach him?
00:45:47Spring Rock Cemetery, six feet under.
00:45:50Died three days ago. Bad ticker.
00:45:54He owe you some money?
00:45:56No. I was hoping to get some information.
00:46:00Then it makes no difference.
00:46:02Slim wouldn't give information to his own minister if he had a minister.
00:46:06Well, maybe you can help me.
00:46:08My wife was murdered ten days ago.
00:46:11Someone planted dynamite in our car.
00:46:13You banning the cop?
00:46:14That's right.
00:46:16Was Slim mixed up in that?
00:46:18That's what I'm trying to find out.
00:46:20I'm sorry. I can't help you.
00:46:26Did he have any visitors?
00:46:27Did he get any phone calls?
00:46:29All I know about Slim is that he's dead.
00:46:35Did he have a set spot to work?
00:46:38You know, a place where he kept his tools.
00:46:41All the tools are mine.
00:46:44There's nothing here for you, mister.
00:46:46Nothing at all.
00:46:50Do you mind if I walk around the yard?
00:46:53Talk to your men.
00:46:55I have to mind.
00:46:56When it comes to my bread and butter, I stay careful.
00:46:59Doesn't matter to you that Slim might have been mixed up in a murder, huh?
00:47:03Sure it matters.
00:47:04Yeah.
00:47:04But what can I do about it?
00:47:05I don't know anything.
00:47:06You're a liar.
00:47:07You can't insult me, mister.
00:47:10You said I don't know anything, and that's how it stands.
00:47:13You know, I've been meeting your kind every day now for ten years.
00:47:17Scared rabbits that never see a thing.
00:47:21You wouldn't stick out your big fat neck for anybody, would you?
00:47:24That's the truth.
00:47:25But it's my big fat neck.
00:47:26So now if you're through talking, I'll get back to work.
00:47:29All right, Eddie.
00:47:29That won't change my story.
00:47:33Cops are paid to take risks.
00:47:35I'm not.
00:47:36You see, I've got a wife and kids, too.
00:47:48Mr. Banyan.
00:47:49Mr. Banyan.
00:47:50Mr. Banyan.
00:47:59Mr. Atkins might come outside.
00:48:03He isn't a mean man.
00:48:06Not many people would hire someone like me.
00:48:09It's just that he's frightened.
00:48:11Man, too.
00:48:13But there was a man came to see Slim about two weeks ago.
00:48:16They had a long talk out in the yard.
00:48:19Remember what he looked like?
00:48:20Well, I'm not much good at those things.
00:48:23He was, well, he was about your height,
00:48:27and he, well, he wore rather fancy clothes.
00:48:31You know, colorful.
00:48:32Would you be able to recognize him again?
00:48:34Oh, yes.
00:48:34He came right into the office and asked me where Slim was.
00:48:38How about phone calls?
00:48:39A few.
00:48:40A man named Larry left in his each once.
00:48:43Just about the same time.
00:48:45No last name?
00:48:46No.
00:48:47He just said to tell Slim to call him at a place.
00:48:51Oh, there's a peculiar name.
00:48:54Something like a, a, a monastery.
00:48:57Oh, you know, where, where people go off alone to think.
00:49:00The retreat.
00:49:02That's it.
00:49:03He said to call him at the retreat.
00:49:07I'm very grateful, Miss.
00:49:09Parker.
00:49:11Selma Parker.
00:49:12Miss Parker.
00:49:14You've been most helpful.
00:49:16Oh, I'm glad.
00:49:19Good luck, Mr. Bannon.
00:49:21Shall we say goodnight to Daddy and put Baby to bed now?
00:49:36Yes.
00:49:38Goodnight, Daddy.
00:49:41Goodnight, Daddy.
00:49:42Sleep tight, honey.
00:49:44Thanks, Marge.
00:49:45You bet.
00:49:45Goodnight, Joyce.
00:49:46Goodnight.
00:49:47Well, do me a favor, will you?
00:49:53Call this number here at exactly 930 on the dot, will you?
00:49:57And ask for Larry.
00:49:59Larry who?
00:50:00That's what I'm trying to find out.
00:50:02Larry's all I know.
00:50:04Is it a lead?
00:50:06I'm hoping so.
00:50:07I've got my fingers crossed.
00:50:14Thanks, Al.
00:50:37Have a good beer.
00:51:03Have a good beer.
00:51:0335.
00:51:22Retreat.
00:51:24Larry who?
00:51:26You must be kidding, mister.
00:51:28What am I supposed to do?
00:51:29Please, Larry, anybody?
00:51:33Look, keep your hands off. I won't tell you again.
00:51:37I'm sorry, Mr. Stupid.
00:51:39When I say, don't pick up the dice so fast, I mean it.
00:51:43I'll roll them again, if you like.
00:51:45Go ahead.
00:51:55Stop! No!
00:51:57Honey, that guy's way out of line.
00:51:59Reds, don't fight.
00:52:01Please, Reds.
00:52:03Sit down. Get out here.
00:52:05Get your boyfriend out of here.
00:52:06Come on, Reds, let's go home.
00:52:07Look, you're not scaring me.
00:52:08Please, Reds, come on.
00:52:14Where you going, thief?
00:52:16This isn't your business, Banyan.
00:52:18All right, thief, suppose you tell me what my business is.
00:52:25Go on, tell me.
00:52:31You like working girls over, don't you?
00:52:44Don't make a mistake, Banyan.
00:52:46Don't play hero with me.
00:52:48Maybe you're the one that worked over Lucy Chapman.
00:52:51Take it easy, Sergeant.
00:52:54I don't know what you're talking about.
00:52:58Here, baby.
00:53:00This is for you.
00:53:01Get yourself something nice.
00:53:02No hard feelings, huh?
00:53:03Not squared, Sergeant?
00:53:07Get out of here while you can still walk.
00:53:09Sure.
00:53:10Sure.
00:53:11You too.
00:53:12You gonna be all right?
00:53:13Yeah.
00:53:14Yeah, sure.
00:53:15Thanks.
00:53:16You too.
00:53:17Sergeant.
00:53:18You gonna be all right?
00:53:19Yeah.
00:53:20Yeah, sure.
00:53:21Thanks.
00:53:22You too.
00:53:23Sergeant.
00:53:24Yeah?
00:53:25I'd like to buy you a drink.
00:53:26With Vince Stone's money?
00:53:27I'd choke on it.
00:53:28You too.
00:53:29You too.
00:53:30I'd like to buy you a drink.
00:53:31With Vince Stone's money?
00:53:32I'd choke on it.
00:53:58You get your kicks out of insulting people?
00:54:13Aren't you Vince Stone's girl?
00:54:15The way you ask it, it sounds like a bunch of dirty words.
00:54:18Well, that was the general idea.
00:54:28Everybody's walking out on me tonight.
00:54:31What are you after?
00:54:32I don't know. You, I think.
00:54:34Vince Stone chased you after me?
00:54:36You saw him leave me in the bar like an old beer or something.
00:54:39Come on, let's find out. I mean, if it's you, I'm after him.
00:54:52Stand at the Marlin Hotel.
00:54:53Okay.
00:54:55Make up your mind in a hurry, don't you?
00:54:57Uh-huh.
00:55:01Marlin Hotel.
00:55:22Say, I like this. Early nothing.
00:55:27Hey, it's just scotch. Is that all right?
00:55:28Fine.
00:55:29Water?
00:55:30Good.
00:55:31How come you sat still when Stone burned that girl?
00:55:35Well, I'll tell you.
00:55:36The last time I butted in, Vince worked me a little bit.
00:55:37How come you sat still when Stone burned that girl?
00:55:41Well, I'll tell you.
00:55:42The last time I butted in, Vince worked me over.
00:55:44Is that how it is being his girl?
00:55:45Well, most times it's a lot of fun.
00:55:46Expensive fun.
00:55:47What do you got against him?
00:55:48Well, I'll tell you.
00:55:50What do you got against him?
00:55:51I don't like thieves.
00:55:52Well, you'll never get anywhere in this town not liking Vince.
00:55:54I'm not trying to get anywhere.
00:55:55I'm not trying to get anywhere.
00:55:56That's obvious.
00:55:57Well, that's some improvement.
00:55:58You know, it's just a little bit too, the little bit too.
00:55:59And then the money will go.
00:56:02I'm not going to get a little bit too.
00:56:03How come you sat still when Stone burned that girl?
00:56:04Well, I'll tell you.
00:56:05Well, I'll tell you.
00:56:06The last time I butted in, Vince worked me over.
00:56:09Is that how it is being his girl?
00:56:10Well, most times it's a lot of fun.
00:56:11Expensive fun.
00:56:12What do you got against him?
00:56:14I don't like thieves.
00:56:15Well, you'll never get anywhere in this town not liking Vince.
00:56:17I'm not trying to get anywhere.
00:56:18That's obvious.
00:56:20I'm not trying to get anywhere.
00:56:22That's obvious.
00:56:24Well, that's some improvement.
00:56:27You know, it's funny.
00:56:29Sometimes I feel about Vince, the way you looked at him tonight.
00:56:33He can be a pretty good guy.
00:56:36And then other times he can be...
00:56:38But why kick?
00:56:40You gotta take the bad with the good.
00:56:43Is the good good enough?
00:56:46Clothes, travel, expensive excitement, what's wrong with that?
00:56:49Nothing if you don't care where his money comes from.
00:56:52The main thing is to have the money.
00:56:54I've been rich and I've been poor.
00:56:56Believe me, rich is better.
00:56:58Did you think I was an heiress or something before I met Vince?
00:57:02I didn't think about you at all.
00:57:05I didn't know you. How could I?
00:57:07Oh, that's better.
00:57:11You got a refill?
00:57:19You know Larry at the retreat?
00:57:22Larry who?
00:57:24Uh, it's Larry.
00:57:26I forget his last name.
00:57:28He's about my size, wears flashy clothes.
00:57:31I know lots of Larrys.
00:57:33This one was a friend of Vince Stone's.
00:57:36I don't know all his friends, fortunately.
00:57:39You know Mike Lagana, don't you?
00:57:41Just say hello and goodbye to.
00:57:43When Vince talks business, I go out and get my legs waxed or something.
00:57:46I don't like to hear things.
00:57:47Why don't you stop the cross-examination?
00:57:49I didn't come up here to talk out of school.
00:57:58Why did you come up?
00:57:59Well, why don't we call it research or something?
00:58:04Or the needle stone.
00:58:06Oh, well, you're about as romantic as a pair of handcuffs.
00:58:09Didn't you ever tell a girl pretty things?
00:58:11You know, she's got hair like the west wind, eyes like limpid pools, skin like velvet.
00:58:25I'll put you in a cab.
00:58:27Did I say something wrong?
00:58:32No.
00:58:33I must have broken one of the house rules.
00:58:38You really want me to go?
00:58:42I wouldn't touch anything of Vince Stone's with a ten-foot pole.
00:58:46That's a rotten thing to say.
00:58:58Everybody winning?
00:59:00Oh, hello, Debbie.
00:59:01How are you doing, Whistler?
00:59:06How are you doing, Vince?
00:59:07Okay.
00:59:09Where have you been?
00:59:11The Gary Club.
00:59:13Late show.
00:59:18Get me out of a while, huh, boys?
00:59:19How was the show?
00:59:21The usual routine.
00:59:22Not too bad.
00:59:23Why didn't you come straight home?
00:59:25The way you ran out, I didn't think you cared.
00:59:27What do you mean, ran out?
00:59:29It wasn't a stroll.
00:59:31The election's this close, I can't afford trouble with a crazy ex-cop.
00:59:32He's not so crazy.
00:59:33I've got a hot flash for you.
00:59:34You hate your guts.
00:59:35How would you know?
00:59:37I was there, remember?
00:59:39I'm the girl you left at the bar.
00:59:40I phoned the retreat.
00:59:42Tierney said you offered to buy Banyan a drink.
00:59:43Tierney wouldn't know a gag unless it hit him right in the face.
00:59:46He said you followed Banyan a drink.
00:59:47He said you followed Banyan a drink.
00:59:49He said you followed Banyan a drink.
00:59:51He said you followed Banyan a drink.
00:59:54What do you mean, ran out?
00:59:55It wasn't a stroll.
00:59:56to buy Banyan a drink.
00:59:57Turny wouldn't know a gag unless it hit him right in the face.
01:00:01He said you followed Banyan outside.
01:00:04I went out looking for you.
01:00:06You made better time getting away than they make in the Olympics.
01:00:10That's a real pretty kisser.
01:00:12Isn't it?
01:00:13I thought maybe you and Banyan played footsie
01:00:15when my back was turned.
01:00:16You ought to trade Turny in.
01:00:18Get yourself a more reliable stool pigeon.
01:00:21Maybe I got myself a better stoolie.
01:00:23How was the Gaggity Club?
01:00:25No!
01:00:26My arm, Vince!
01:00:27My arm!
01:00:28You like cops, do you?
01:00:30Don't, Vince, please!
01:00:31Where'd you go with him?
01:00:32My arm!
01:00:33My arm!
01:00:33I asked you a question.
01:00:35Where?
01:00:35I only saw him on the street.
01:00:37ONLY THE STREET!
01:00:39I suggest we call it the night.
01:00:41I suggest you shut your mouth.
01:00:45Where'd you go with Banyan?
01:00:46Nowhere.
01:00:47Nowhere!
01:00:48He dropped me off of the Gaggity!
01:00:50Sure, the Gaggity, the Gaggity!
01:00:52Oh, you pig!
01:00:53You lying pig!
01:00:56You lying pig!
01:00:57You lying pig!
01:00:58You lying pig!
01:00:59You lying pig!
01:01:00You lying pig!
01:01:01You lying pig!
01:01:02I'll fix you in your pretty face.
01:01:03Oh, Vince, he scalded you.
01:01:04She had it coming.
01:01:05Don't just stand there.
01:01:06Get it to a doctor.
01:01:07You'll have to make a police report.
01:01:08That's why we're sending you.
01:01:09Go on!
01:01:10Get moving!
01:01:11I'll try.
01:01:12I'll try.
01:01:13I'll try.
01:01:14Shut the door.
01:01:15Mike?
01:01:16Here's Vince.
01:01:17Here's Vince.
01:01:18I'll try. I'll try.
01:01:27Shut the door.
01:01:40Mike?
01:01:41Yes, Vince?
01:01:43How do you know she didn't tell Banyan anything?
01:01:49Debbie isn't your problem anymore. She's ours.
01:01:52I want insurance.
01:01:55But I don't want her found off any county highway.
01:01:58I don't want her found at all.
01:02:05Who is it?
01:02:06Debbie Marsh.
01:02:07Who's with you?
01:02:08I'm alone. I've been hurt.
01:02:12I'm alone.
01:02:32Put it out. Police...
01:02:35Vince threw hot coffee in my face.
01:02:42I'm going to be scarred.
01:02:45The whole side of my face will be scarred.
01:02:52Where's Stone now?
01:02:54I don't know.
01:02:56They made Higgins take me to the doctor.
01:03:00Higgins, the police commissioner?
01:03:02Yes.
01:03:02After the doctor put on the bandages, I ran out.
01:03:09Can I stay with you?
01:03:10Please, can I stay?
01:03:14I'll get your room on this floor.
01:03:17Who else is with Stone?
01:03:20Gillen from the city council,
01:03:22George Fuller, Vince's lawyer, and Larry Gordon.
01:03:25I told the doctor I didn't care what he had to do
01:03:28or about the pain,
01:03:30only I didn't want my face scarred.
01:03:33Who's Larry Gordon?
01:03:35You don't care.
01:03:36You don't care what happened to me.
01:03:39You don't care about anything or anybody.
01:03:42I was followed when I came here with you.
01:03:45That's why I got this!
01:03:53Gill, this is Dave Banyan.
01:03:55Look, I'm going to need another room on this floor.
01:03:58That's for a friend of mine.
01:04:00Yeah, I don't want it registered.
01:04:03Yeah, that's right.
01:04:04The one who didn't know she's here.
01:04:07Right.
01:04:11You be safe here.
01:04:14I'm going to show you a scotch.
01:04:17Please.
01:04:17Gordon, it's the Larry you asked about.
01:04:33Vince imported him from Chicago a few months ago.
01:04:40Thanks.
01:04:40Tomorrow, I'll have another doctor look you over.
01:04:47Guess his scar isn't so bad.
01:04:49Not if it's only on one side.
01:04:56I can always go through life sideways.
01:04:58Gordon lives at the Wilton Apartments.
01:05:20Is Mrs. Davenport at home?
01:05:23You got the wrong apartment.
01:05:28I told you it was a...
01:05:54Get up.
01:05:59You must be nuts.
01:06:00Come on, get up.
01:06:12What about Slim Farrell?
01:06:15You're punchy.
01:06:21Go on.
01:06:22Pick it up.
01:06:24I won't kid you, not right away.
01:06:29You got a wrong steer.
01:06:30If I knew what you was talking about.
01:06:32What did Slim do for you?
01:06:35I swear my mother...
01:06:36What did he do for you?
01:06:42When I let go, start talking.
01:06:44If you don't, I'll finish the job.
01:06:46Jack.
01:06:47Talk.
01:06:47Talk.
01:06:52He told me to get you.
01:06:53Vince Stone.
01:06:55I hired Slim.
01:06:57What about Lucy Chapman?
01:07:00Stone.
01:07:00He was scared Duncan told her things.
01:07:03Was Duncan on the take?
01:07:04Oh, yeah, for years.
01:07:05Oh, yeah, for years.
01:07:06Why didn't they shut up Mrs. Duncan?
01:07:09I don't know.
01:07:10Did she go on the payroll?
01:07:11Oh, I think so.
01:07:13I'm not sure.
01:07:14What's she got on him?
01:07:15Oh, I don't know.
01:07:17I just take orders.
01:07:22You're going to give me a break, aren't you, Benion?
01:07:24I told you what I know!
01:07:27I'm through with you.
01:07:29But your friends aren't.
01:07:31I'm going to spread the word that you talked.
01:07:36You're out of business, thief.
01:07:46We caught up with Larry before he got to the airport.
01:07:49He was in such a hurry, it took a couple of slugs to stop him.
01:07:53What's left of him is on the way to the river.
01:07:56Debbie, what about her?
01:07:58She doesn't worry me.
01:07:59But Banyan does.
01:08:01Larry must have talked his head off or he wouldn't have started running.
01:08:05When you use second-raders like Gordon, it's trouble.
01:08:07I've told you that before.
01:08:10If you were okay getting rid of Banyan, he wouldn't be a problem now.
01:08:14And when Duncan wanted out, I asked you to let me handle him.
01:08:17And, oh, no, you thought talking to him might keep him in line.
01:08:20So what happens?
01:08:20He knocks himself off.
01:08:22Don't make me the fall guy, Mike.
01:08:24I'm no Larry Gordon.
01:08:26The reformers would be delighted to hear us accusing each other.
01:08:32All right, we both made mistakes.
01:08:34The point is, correct them.
01:08:35Banyan on the bottom of the river with Larry and there's no more problem.
01:08:38Maybe a bigger one.
01:08:42If he knows anything, he's put it on paper.
01:08:45Anything happens to him, it becomes public property.
01:08:50But Duncan's set up all over again.
01:08:52That's a gamble we've got to take.
01:08:58We don't.
01:09:04Take something Banyan values more than himself and we keep him quiet.
01:09:14Soon as you're set,
01:09:16have Higgins call off the police guard at the Eldridge Street House.
01:09:19Yes?
01:09:28Yes, Mrs. Duncan?
01:09:29He's at my door.
01:09:30What'll I do?
01:09:34He knows I'm at home.
01:09:35My car is in the garage.
01:09:37I'll take care of it.
01:09:39You just stole him.
01:09:41Yes, I understand.
01:09:49Oh, Mr. Banyan.
01:09:58I'm so sorry I kept you waiting.
01:10:00Furniture's the same.
01:10:11Nothing's been changed.
01:10:13You haven't started living high yet, have you?
01:10:16What are you talking about?
01:10:18Your husband was on Lugana's payroll.
01:10:20Now you are.
01:10:21He must have put down all the facts and figures in writing for Lugana to hold still for blackmail.
01:10:28What did you do with it?
01:10:30I haven't the faintest idea what you're talking about.
01:10:34But if you want to look around, please go right ahead.
01:10:39Oh, it wouldn't be here.
01:10:40You're much smarter than Lucy Chapman.
01:10:46You told Lugana about Lucy.
01:10:51You have a horrid mind.
01:10:53Poor Lucy.
01:10:55You were delighted.
01:10:57You were even happier when your husband blew his brains out.
01:11:00We were getting along very well until the soul-struggling began.
01:11:05Want to know something ridiculous?
01:11:06It was after his affair with Lucy Chapman that he wanted to turn over a new leaf.
01:11:16A city is being strangled by a gang of thieves, and you protect Lugana and Stone for the sake of a soft, plush life.
01:11:24The coming years are going to be just fine, Mr. Banyan.
01:11:29There aren't going to be any coming years for you.
01:11:33None at all.
01:11:34I don't threaten easily.
01:11:39If anything happens to you, the evidence comes out.
01:11:43That's the way you arranged it, didn't you, bright lady?
01:11:47You got it all put away someplace.
01:11:50That's how you kept Lugana over a barrel.
01:11:55But I'm not Lugana.
01:11:57With you dead, the big heat follows.
01:12:00The big heat for Lugana, for Stone, and for all the rest of the life.
01:12:07Mr. Lugana is an excellent life insurance agent.
01:12:10What's the trouble?
01:12:15Why, nothing, officer.
01:12:18This is police sergeant Banyan.
01:12:20Sorry, sergeant.
01:12:21We got a call that was trouble.
01:12:23Sergeant Banyan.
01:12:24Oh, I'm sorry.
01:12:26It's ex-sergeant, isn't it?
01:12:29He'll be leaving with you, officer.
01:12:31I'm sorry, sir.
01:12:47Banyan.
01:12:52Banyan.
01:12:53How about a little light in here?
01:13:13We've got to get used to being seen sometime, I guess.
01:13:23I've been feeling like something that's been shut up because nobody wants to look at it.
01:13:36She's supposed to take my days before meals?
01:13:41Yes, ma'am.
01:13:44This morning.
01:13:48Just sitting here thinking is pretty rough when you spent most of your life not thinking.
01:13:59I'll eat your soup, huh?
01:14:03What was your wife like, Dave?
01:14:2027 years old. Light hair. Gray eyes.
01:14:26That's a police description. Did she like to cook? Liked to be surprised?
01:14:32What kind of things made her laugh? That's what...
01:14:37I'm sorry. You don't want to talk about her. Certainly not with me.
01:14:41Not with anyone.
01:14:47Did you find Larry?
01:14:49What? Yeah. Yeah, I found him.
01:14:53And?
01:14:56I ran into a brick wall. Bertha Duncan.
01:14:59The cop's widow?
01:15:01He left her a million dollar trust fund.
01:15:04Wrote down everything there was to know about the syndicate.
01:15:07Vince must hate her insides.
01:15:10He never could take losing or being pressured.
01:15:13He's got to take it.
01:15:15If she dies, the letter goes to the newspapers.
01:15:18You know, I almost killed her an hour ago.
01:15:25I should have.
01:15:27I don't believe you could.
01:15:30If you had, there wouldn't be much difference between you and Vince Stone.
01:15:37Must be for me. I told him downstairs I was up here.
01:15:39Yes?
01:15:45Yes, Marge?
01:15:46The relief detail didn't show up.
01:15:48I called the police station. They said they weren't coming anymore.
01:15:51Keep the door locked till Al gets home.
01:15:53I'll be there in an hour.
01:15:57Keep that for company.
01:15:58Okay, Mac.
01:16:14Get him up high.
01:16:17Upstairs, Mac. Nice and easy now.
01:16:28Hold it.
01:16:29Hold it.
01:16:30Hold it.
01:16:31Hold it.
01:16:32Nice going.
01:16:33This is my brother-in-law.
01:16:35And what is this?
01:16:36Al said to stop everybody.
01:16:37You're doing fine, Mark.
01:16:38Get back downstairs.
01:16:39Sorry, Mac.
01:16:40Yes.
01:16:41It's okay.
01:16:42Is Joyce all right?
01:16:43Sure.
01:16:44Marge has her inside.
01:16:45I got the boys over just in case.
01:16:46That's my brother-in-law.
01:16:47Bill Rutherford, Russ Schoenstein, Hank O'Connell.
01:16:49Nice and easy.
01:16:50Good evening.
01:16:51I'm coming.
01:16:52Good evening.
01:16:53I'm coming.
01:16:54I'm coming.
01:16:55And I'm coming.
01:16:56I'm coming.
01:16:57I'm coming.
01:16:58I'm coming.
01:16:59I'm coming.
01:17:00I'm coming.
01:17:01I'm coming.
01:17:02I'm coming.
01:17:03I'm coming.
01:17:04I'm coming.
01:17:05And I'm coming.
01:17:06I'm coming.
01:17:07I'm coming.
01:17:08He's coming.
01:17:09I'm coming.
01:17:10He's coming.
01:17:11I guess civilian life hasn't slowed Mark down so much, huh?
01:17:15It hasn't slowed him down at all.
01:17:20When trouble comes, it'll be from hoodlums who know their business.
01:17:24I'm afraid they won't be stopped by amateurs whose hearts happen to be in the right place.
01:17:28Do we look like the cast from some maypole dance?
01:17:31I've been places those creeps wouldn't go unless they rode in a 50-ton tank.
01:17:35I went in on foot.
01:17:36I'm sorry if Howie won the Medal of Honor or something.
01:17:39All right, big wit.
01:17:40But I'm telling you, anybody comes to that door and touches that kid is going to wind up dead.
01:17:44Harry Schoenhopper, the angry poet.
01:17:48Seriously, Banyan, we can handle things.
01:17:52I was never so sure of anything in my life.
01:17:55Do you know where the trouble's coming from?
01:17:58I'd feel easier if all of you stayed here.
01:18:02Daddy!
01:18:02There's my girl.
01:18:04Hello, sweetheart.
01:18:08How are you?
01:18:08Will you tell me a story, Daddy?
01:18:11Why, sure.
01:18:12Which story, darling?
01:18:13The three little campers.
01:18:14That lost their mission.
01:18:15We just heard the precinct detail was called off.
01:18:32You're sticking your neck way out.
01:18:34It's a fine night for it.
01:18:39Hello, Dave.
01:18:39Aren't you throwing that pension of yours down into the sewer?
01:18:43I got my wife's okay.
01:18:46In fact, Gertie used language I didn't think she knew.
01:18:49It's the first time in years I breathe good, clean air.
01:18:53Well, you don't have to stay.
01:18:54Hal has some of his Army friends upstairs.
01:18:56If we stick around, it'll make it official.
01:19:00Thanks.
01:19:01Dave, where are you going now?
01:19:03Uh, nowhere special.
01:19:07Want company?
01:19:09Uh-uh.
01:19:10A report came in this afternoon about your barging in on Mrs. Duncan.
01:19:15You're not going there again?
01:19:18No.
01:19:19I'm Vince Stone's girl, Debbie Marsh.
01:19:45May I see you for a moment?
01:19:47I was just leaving, but please come in.
01:19:51Were you in an accident?
01:19:53Yes.
01:19:55I'm sorry.
01:20:02You have a nice home.
01:20:05Did Mr. Stone send you?
01:20:06No.
01:20:08I've been thinking about you and me.
01:20:10How much alike we are.
01:20:13The mink-coated girls.
01:20:15I don't understand you.
01:20:17What are you here for, Miss Marsh?
01:20:20Debbie.
01:20:21We should use first names, Bertha.
01:20:24We're sisters under the mink.
01:20:27You're not making any sense, Miss Marsh.
01:20:29I'd better call Mr. Stone and have him pick you up.
01:20:35You're not well.
01:20:39I never felt better in my life.
01:20:41I'll be fine.
01:20:43I'll be fine.
01:20:49I'll be fine.
01:21:00I'll be fine.
01:21:02Oh, my God.
01:21:32It'll burn for a long time, Vince.
01:21:56It doesn't look bad now.
01:21:58But in the morning, your face will be like mine.
01:22:02Look, it isn't pretty, is it?
01:22:07You'll walk through side streets and alleys
01:22:10so that people won't stare at you.
01:22:12But you're lucky.
01:22:13It won't be for long.
01:22:16Bertha Duncan is dead.
01:22:17No more insurance for you and Lagana.
01:22:19The lid's off the garbage can.
01:22:21And I did it.
01:22:22Debbie.
01:22:36Debbie.
01:22:40I killed Mrs. Duncan.
01:22:59It's an emergency.
01:23:20Get an ambulance at 257 Flower Street.
01:23:23The penthouse.
01:23:24Steve!
01:23:27Ow!
01:23:30Ah!
01:23:31Ah!
01:23:34Ah!
01:23:35Ah!
01:23:37Ah!
01:23:43Ah!
01:23:47Ah!
01:23:47Go on, shoot!
01:23:59Shoot, shoot!
01:24:14Get him.
01:24:17Get him.
01:24:35We'll take your gun, Dave.
01:24:41You can have him, too.
01:24:44There's one charge against him to start with.
01:24:48Over there.
01:24:54Over there.
01:24:58Over there.
01:25:08Over there.
01:25:12We went to the Duncan house.
01:25:14I'm sorry you got there first.
01:25:16I didn't.
01:25:18Did you call it in?
01:25:20We wanted to catch up with you first.
01:25:22Put a cover on Lagana Higgins and every other thief in town.
01:25:24Duncan left a confession.
01:25:26It'll come out now.
01:25:28The lights will try to run.
01:25:30There's no use moving.
01:25:34You can close your file and the birth of Duncan killed him.
01:25:38Dave.
01:25:40Yes?
01:25:42Dave.
01:25:44Am I gonna die?
01:25:46No.
01:25:48No.
01:25:50No.
01:25:52No.
01:25:54No.
01:25:56No.
01:25:58No.
01:26:00No.
01:26:06No.
01:26:07No.
01:26:08No.
01:26:10No.
01:26:11No.
01:26:12No.
01:26:13No.
01:26:14If I said you'd live another hundred years, you'd call me a liar.
01:26:19I don't want to die.
01:26:23I must look awful.
01:26:29Vince shouldn't have ruined my looks.
01:26:31It was a rotten thing to do.
01:26:39Dave.
01:26:40Yes?
01:26:42I'm going to die.
01:26:47No, Debbie.
01:26:55Remember how angry you got when I asked you about your wife?
01:27:03I wasn't angry.
01:27:07You and Katie had gotten along fine.
01:27:11What was she like?
01:27:15A real Irish blowtop, but she always got over it fast.
01:27:18She used to raise the roof with me for missing dinner and leaving the bathroom in a mess.
01:27:24A few minutes later, she'd come in with a drink in her hand for me just as hope nothing had happened.
01:27:29You know, Kate, she was a sampler.
01:27:33She used to take sips of my drink and puffs on my cigarette.
01:27:39Sometimes she used to taste the food off my plate.
01:27:43We got a big kick out of that.
01:27:45I like her.
01:27:47I like her.
01:27:51I like her a lot.
01:27:54Sometimes when I came home from work, she'd have the baby dressed up like a...
01:27:59...or like a little princess.
01:28:00One of the most important parts of the day was when I came in and...
01:28:05...saw her looking like something and just stepped down off a birthday cake.
01:28:12I guess it...
01:28:13I guess it's that way with most families.
01:28:43How about some coffee, Hugo?
01:28:53Coming right upstairs.
01:28:57Homicide Banyan.
01:29:04You got it?
01:29:06We have a hit and run over on South Street.
01:29:14You got me hot, Hugo.
01:29:16Okay, sir.
