00:06:22Oh, no. No, Max was not killed. My husband. He take his own life. For what reason, Mrs. Forbes?
00:06:34Mac
00:06:35Worry.
00:06:37That man, he is always calling on telephone. Always when he comes to the shop. Always questions, questions.
00:06:47What man was this, Mrs. Borg? His name, Riggs. He writes things in the newspapers about Mac. But Mr. Riggs
00:06:55wasn't trying to hurt your husband. I don't know.
00:06:59Mrs. Borg
00:07:00Mrs. Borg, you've seen this before, haven't you?
00:07:05Yes.
00:07:08Max printed this job he do it last week.
00:07:11It's one of those invitations Riggs mentioned in his column.
00:07:14Join the Crusaders. Fight for Americanism.
00:07:19Where'd you get this? From Charlene. He's got quite a collection.
00:07:23He's still waiting outside? No.
00:07:25Mrs. Borg, when was the last time Mr. Riggs came to see your husband?
00:07:30Last time?
00:07:31Yes, sir.
00:07:32Have Mr. Malloy's friend come in, please, Miss McConaughey.
00:07:35Yes, sir.
00:07:36I was. Yes, the night before Max died.
00:07:42What about yesterday morning? Didn't you see anyone in the shop when you came down and found your husband's body?
00:07:47I went downstairs. Only Max.
00:07:54Are you sure of that, Mrs. Borg? No one there?
00:07:56Did nobody want to kill Max? He killed himself.
00:08:01Come in.
00:08:03Good afternoon, sir.
00:08:05Hello, Howard. Charlie.
00:08:07That's the man.
00:08:08Yes, you.
00:08:09You make Max go crazy.
00:08:11You make him take his own life.
00:08:14The murder, Max.
00:08:18What do you say, Charlie?
00:08:23I've never seen anyone so afraid.
00:08:28Fear, Howard. Fear.
00:08:30It's a terrible weapon.
00:08:31You saw what it did to Mrs. Borg this afternoon.
00:08:33I could see she was lying.
00:08:35She's afraid if she doesn't hang on to that suicide story, they'll get rid of her, too.
00:08:40Jack, cut him up again.
00:08:42Sounds like Capone and Schultz and the mobs are back again.
00:08:45When the law closes in on one racket, the big boys always find another.
00:08:50With the mobsters, it was liquor and blood.
00:08:52With this outfit, it's hate and blood.
00:08:54But they're just harmless lunatics, these hate groups.
00:08:57Lunatics, yes.
00:08:59Especially the warped mines on top with a dream of power or gold or political success.
00:09:05But not harmless.
00:09:06When the racket boys move in.
00:09:09It's Merry Christmas for a few smart operators when they find a soft touch like this.
00:09:14Charlie, what got you into this?
00:09:16I'm fed to the teeth seeing people pushed around.
00:09:20You know, I was born in this city, Howard.
00:09:23In our block, we had guys from practically every race and religion you ever heard of, and a couple you
00:09:28didn't.
00:09:29But we got along pretty well.
00:09:31Well, that's the way it ought to be.
00:09:32In our block, nobody cared what country your parents came from or where they went to church.
00:09:38Nobody called your nasty names.
00:09:41Until you were taught there were nasty names, and some people were supposed to be called by them.
00:09:45Micks, Polacks, Wops, Lammies, Spicks, Huggies.
00:09:50That's part of our history.
00:09:52America always has to melt away the differences between people.
00:09:56Sure, and most always you don't understand why they're supposed to be different.
00:09:59It's just somebody else's faith or somebody else's influence.
00:10:03Now we've got people around who want to make people hate each other.
00:10:05They're afraid of each other.
00:10:07Just so they can make money out of it.
00:10:09I don't like that.
00:10:11Look, Charlie, hold off these columns of yours for a week or so, will you?
00:10:15Give me time to run this down.
00:10:17Here's your rundown right here in my cage.
00:10:19And I've got a fistful of new stuff.
00:10:22You're getting interested, huh?
00:10:25Sure, I'm interested.
00:10:26But we're not playing with kids.
00:10:28Take it easy and wait a while.
00:10:30And lose a great story and my readers think I'm scared?
00:10:33Give me time to find out who murdered Borg.
00:10:35Give me a week.
00:10:36Sorry, my friend.
00:10:37Told you last night that's all I wanted.
00:10:39One week.
00:10:40I mean it, Charlie.
00:10:41Take it easy.
00:10:41Nothing doing.
00:10:42I'm a little guy, but I don't scare easy.
00:10:44Oh, pay the tab, huh?
00:10:46You're the new boy in this club.
00:10:51I never drink alone.
00:10:53That can be fixed.
00:10:56I never drink.
00:11:13There is no what the hell is forever.
00:11:14I have never beenBER alive.
00:11:16My boy!
00:11:17You jerk to play.
00:11:20Arxians!
00:11:20But they don't care farm enough.
00:11:21Don't just control him.
00:11:21They don't.
00:11:23They can't help you.
00:11:24Don't nobody want me.
00:11:25Don't forget Gori.
00:11:26Well, they don't chips the weight of your brother.
00:11:42After you.
00:11:49What floor?
00:11:5011th.
00:11:51Thanks, guys.
00:13:51The janitor, Mr. Wachinsky, found the body.
00:13:55The only way they could identify him was by his pocketbook.
00:14:00His face.
00:14:03Then Mrs. Wachinsky came to come.
00:14:07Oh, he couldn't have done it deliberately, Howard. Charlie wouldn't have.
00:14:11Of course not, baby. Anybody who ever knew Charlie at all.
00:14:18How's it coming, Wiley? Find anything?
00:14:20Not much, Mr. Malloy. All the fingerprints seem to belong to Miss Riggs and the deceased.
00:14:25Carol, is anything missing?
00:14:27I, uh, talked to Miss Riggs earlier. His briefcase, apparently.
00:14:32He always brought it home with him. He did most of his writing here.
00:14:35You check his office? Find anything?
00:14:39Not that they could see.
00:14:42We'll find out about a lot of things.
00:14:49Assistant District Attorney Malloy charged his murder.
00:14:52And hence hate conspiracy and death of countless pals.
00:14:56So you did, eh?
00:14:57The reporter asked me what I thought.
00:14:59So you told him?
00:15:00Yep.
00:15:00Well, the time is now to appoint a special prosecutor capable of handling this vicious outbreak of violence in our
00:15:08fair city.
00:15:09We want...
00:15:12They want action and they want it now.
00:15:16Yes?
00:15:17Mrs. Hartley's here for her appointment.
00:15:19Oh, is that late?
00:15:20All right, send her.
00:15:22Mr. Hartley.
00:15:23Howard, there's no evidence that Riggs was murdered.
00:15:26There's no evidence that anything he told you was true.
00:15:29He's dead, isn't he?
00:15:32Oh, I'm sorry. You're busy.
00:15:34No.
00:15:34Come in, Grace.
00:15:35Just finishing.
00:15:37This is my assistant, Howard.
00:15:38Of course.
00:15:38How's it doing, Mrs. Hartley?
00:15:40One of Frank's brightest young men.
00:15:42Oh.
00:15:43You mustn't let him overwork you, Mr. Malloy.
00:15:45Well, we're always busy, Mrs. Hartley.
00:15:47All right, Howard.
00:15:48Go ahead with this case.
00:15:50But if what Riggs said was true, watch out.
00:15:53He was right.
00:15:54Forget he was a pal of yours.
00:15:55Use your head instead of your heart.
00:15:57I don't want this office to look any worse than it does already.
00:16:00That's, uh, hardly possible.
00:16:02Frank making another speech for you?
00:16:04It's a big bediment dinner next week, I hope.
00:16:07Grace, you've lead an old horse to dinner, but you can't expect him to speak.
00:16:10Nice to have seen you again, Mrs. Hartley.
00:16:12Oh, thank you.
00:16:13Remember what I said, Howard.
00:16:14Nothing foolish.
00:16:15I'll try.
00:16:17Sit down, Grace.
00:16:21Now then, what's this about a speech?
00:16:25Frank, we need you at the speaker's table.
00:16:28With you there, it'll be almost as though Jonathan himself were present.
00:16:31Everybody remembers that you were his last protege, that you worked with him until the very end.
00:16:36I'd never be district attorney today if it hadn't been for Judge Hartley's sponsorship and guidance.
00:16:41We'll never forget him, will we, Frank?
00:16:44No honest politician could ever forget your husband.
00:16:47What kind of speech will you make?
00:16:49We must send some sort of announcement to the papers, you know.
00:16:52Perhaps I could say a few words about civil liberty in our great metropolis.
00:16:57Good.
00:16:57You know, a free city with freedom for all men.
00:17:03Uh, that sort of thing.
00:17:05Fine.
00:17:11You had nothing to prove that Borg was murdered.
00:17:14And now you've got nothing to prove that Wiggs was murdered.
00:17:17Nothing.
00:17:18Howard, are you asleep?
00:17:24Howard.
00:17:25Huh?
00:17:27Oh.
00:17:28Almost.
00:17:32I guess I'd better be getting home.
00:17:35Very tired.
00:17:36Oh, all night.
00:17:37Why don't you stretch out here?
00:17:39Take him out.
00:17:40No, I'd better go home.
00:17:42Get a clean shirt.
00:17:44Then start out again.
00:17:46Thanks for lunch, baby.
00:17:49How do you feel?
00:17:51Scared.
00:17:53It's all so sudden.
00:17:56I just don't know why.
00:17:58All that work, courage.
00:18:01Going after these thugs.
00:18:04He never realized, I guess, how they could turn their viciousness against him.
00:18:08It's awful.
00:18:10Feeling of helplessness.
00:18:12No, we're not so helpless.
00:18:14I'm going to follow every lead Charlie left.
00:18:18I wish he'd told me more.
00:18:22Now, what about tonight?
00:18:23You can't stay here.
00:18:25Why not?
00:18:26Well, I don't think you should.
00:18:29It'll be all right.
00:18:30Mrs. Willis across the hall insists on staying with me.
00:18:33You're sure you'll let her?
00:18:34I don't think I can stop her.
00:18:36All right.
00:18:37I'll phone you later.
00:18:41I'll be waiting.
00:18:45Well, I'll be off.
00:18:46Oh.
00:18:47I wanted to show you this.
00:18:49I found it on a shelf in Charlie's closet.
00:18:51I wonder where it came from.
00:18:53I really don't know.
00:18:55Signed with just initials.
00:18:56Yes, but there's something written on the back of it.
00:19:00Well, that's Charlie's handwriting.
00:19:03Let's have the phone.
00:19:07Sigmund Kosterick.
00:19:09Rembrandt Studios.
00:19:15Who is that?
00:19:16A customer.
00:19:17Who?
00:19:18A client.
00:19:19No clients today.
00:19:22Uh, telegram.
00:19:23No telegrams today.
00:19:25Oh, please, Mr. Kosterick.
00:19:26I've got to talk to you.
00:19:27I'm an admirer of yours.
00:19:29Admirer?
00:19:30Admirer?
00:19:31You're charming.
00:19:32Won't you come in?
00:19:33Thanks.
00:19:36Now, what do you want here?
00:19:37We all want something.
00:19:39Gold, wine, or the warmth of beautiful women.
00:19:43But what do you want here?
00:19:44Well, I'll tell you, Mr. Kosterick.
00:19:46Some old fraternity brothers of mine are planning a reunion.
00:19:49We were wondering if you'd make up a poster for us.
00:19:51A poster?
00:19:53A poster.
00:19:54I do not draw a poster.
00:19:56I'm an artist.
00:19:57A painter.
00:19:58You would go now?
00:19:59Oh, come on now, Mr. Kosterick.
00:20:01You've made posters before.
00:20:03Have I?
00:20:04Don't you remember?
00:20:05Often it is not wise to remember.
00:20:08Gold.
00:20:09Why?
00:20:10A beautiful woman.
00:20:12That's your story.
00:20:13It is the oldest story.
00:20:15Wow, there's a beautiful woman.
00:20:17Ah, the beauty of you.
00:20:19Who is she?
00:20:20A modern.
00:20:21An old friend.
00:20:23I'd like to have that.
00:20:24It's already sold.
00:20:27What's it doing here, then?
00:20:28I'm going to hang it at an exhibition of mine at the Contemporary Museum next week.
00:20:33It will be my first one-man show in America.
00:20:35It certainly is different from that big blonde head on the Crusader poster.
00:20:41You are from the police, I think.
00:20:43Not exactly.
00:20:44What does that mean?
00:20:45District Attorney's office.
00:20:48Oh.
00:20:49You'd better think back about that poster.
00:20:51Yes, I will.
00:20:52I will indeed.
00:20:53You are going now to get the police.
00:20:56As a matter of fact, I'm not.
00:20:57I'm on my way home to change my shirt.
00:21:46I'll take those.
00:21:50Are you looking for something?
00:21:52I said, were you looking for something?
00:21:57What's your name?
00:21:58Miller.
00:22:00Take it easy.
00:22:04No identification, huh?
00:22:11I've seen this one before.
00:22:13Who is she?
00:22:14Just a dame.
00:22:15I don't know who.
00:22:16I tore it out of a paper.
00:22:17Reminded me of my grandmother.
00:22:19Make better jokes, kid.
00:22:21You're in trouble.
00:22:22What are these?
00:22:24You need help to see the angel.
00:22:26Who's this angel?
00:22:27How should I know?
00:22:28Where'd you get these cards?
00:22:29Someone wanted me to see the guy.
00:22:31A fresh card for every visit, huh?
00:22:35What were you after in my apartment?
00:22:37Just on a little visit.
00:22:38Just on a little visit.
00:22:40Okay, kid.
00:22:41I'll send you a little visit.
00:22:44Give you time to think up some more answers.
00:22:47Breaking and entering.
00:22:48Assault and battery.
00:22:51See the angel, huh?
00:22:53I think I'll do a little visiting myself.
00:22:56Yeah.
00:22:57I could use some help.
00:23:14Where can I find the angel?
00:23:19You're new around here, huh?
00:23:23Thanks.
00:23:39What do you sell on this bush truck of yours?
00:23:41Apples, oranges, grapes.
00:23:43Everything in season.
00:23:44Police.
00:23:45You'll fix it a summer instead.
00:23:46I'll find the angel.
00:23:48Pardon me.
00:23:49Where can I find the angel?
00:23:55Find the angel.
00:23:57What can I do for you, my friend?
00:24:04Stay off the main streets with your bush guard and we'll get another summer.
00:24:09Here.
00:24:10Pay the fine.
00:24:13Thank you, Mr. Angel.
00:24:15Harry, take over.
00:24:16Sure, boss.
00:24:17Come into my office.
00:24:18We can talk, then.
00:24:19Right.
00:24:20Anything you say.
00:24:21Sure, and the old man is actually here.
00:24:24Sit down, Mr. Malloy.
00:24:25Malloy.
00:24:26Yes, I know.
00:24:28That boy Knuckles in trouble again, huh?
00:24:31He told me his name was Miller.
00:24:33Yes, he has a lot of names.
00:24:34Around here we call him Knuckles.
00:24:35But we don't let him around here anymore, those punk kids.
00:24:38You know, sometimes you can't help him.
00:24:40What'd he do now?
00:24:41He hid himself in my apartment.
00:24:43Tried to give me to business.
00:24:44And what happened?
00:24:46Last I saw him, he was riding off in a little black wagon.
00:24:49Uh-huh.
00:24:52And what brings you here, Mr. Malloy?
00:24:55Well, I found this card in the kid's pocket.
00:24:57It says, see the angel.
00:24:59So you came to see me.
00:25:01Check.
00:25:02Good.
00:25:03I give away thousands of cards like that.
00:25:06What can I do for you, my friend?
00:25:08Answer a few questions, such as?
00:25:10You can't be drinking.
00:25:11Never cared more.
00:25:12Why are you called the angel?
00:25:15Well, my name is Angelo Agostini.
00:25:19In all my life, I enjoy doing things for people.
00:25:24Well, here's to the first angel I ever met.
00:25:27And here's to our next special prosecutor.
00:25:31Who would that be?
00:25:33You, I think, Mr. Malloy.
00:25:35You've been making quite an impression on this town.
00:25:37I knew who you were when you first came in.
00:25:41You've been driving the newspapers crazy.
00:25:43They're demanding the governor to appoint a special prosecutor on this case.
00:25:47No chance, I'd get it.
00:25:49You've got every chance.
00:25:51Mr. Malloy, I'm curious.
00:25:54Just how far do you expect to go in this case?
00:25:58At least as far as whoever murdered Charles Riggs.
00:26:03You're a tough guy, Mr. Malloy.
00:26:05I can see that.
00:26:06And I like tough guys.
00:26:08You're tough about the right things.
00:26:11Perhaps in my fashion, I could be of some help to you.
00:26:16Like I told you, I enjoy doing things for others.
00:26:20What can you do for me?
00:26:24This is the angel calling.
00:26:26Is the big fellow in?
00:26:27Thanks.
00:26:29He's me young and happy doing things for others.
00:26:32Hello.
00:26:34How's the golf these days?
00:26:38Fine, fine.
00:26:39Say, what are you doing about appointing a special prosecutor on this Riggs case?
00:26:43I got Malloy here with me from the DA's office.
00:26:46Seems to me he'd make a fine special prosecutor.
00:26:49I'd go and talk to the boss, put pressure on the right people.
00:26:53Fine, I'd appreciate that.
00:26:55What?
00:26:55Oh, I'm sorry, I won't keep it.
00:26:57Goodbye.
00:26:59What's your angle, Agostini?
00:27:01Must I have an angle?
00:27:03Who was that you just called?
00:27:06Do we have to mention names?
00:27:08Do you make a phone call and just like that, I'm special prosecutor?
00:27:11Of course, you'll have to do something about it yourself.
00:27:14Get some of those civic groups, imagine.
00:27:16You know what you need for a little help.
00:27:19Let's keep in touch, Mr. Malloy.
00:27:22Let's try to help each other.
00:27:24Well, I've heard a lot about the young lady.
00:27:29Name's Whitfield.
00:27:31Whitfield?
00:27:32Barbara Whitfield.
00:27:34Well, this is a pleasant change from office routine.
00:27:38What's she do besides pose for pictures?
00:27:40Quite a few things.
00:27:42She's worked in nightclubs.
00:27:43Very fancy ones.
00:27:45No dives.
00:27:46No dives?
00:27:47For a while, she worked as a model in the Fifth Avenue dress shop.
00:27:51Two years ago, she sang in a Broadway musical.
00:27:55Quite a dish.
00:27:57She's singing any plays now?
00:27:59Nice plays over on the east side.
00:28:01You know, glow lights, soft music.
00:28:06My last love, no, but I, my best love, is you, that's mine.
00:28:37Waiter.
00:28:41When does Miss Whitfield sing again?
00:28:44We just got here.
00:28:45When's the supper show?
00:28:47That was the supper show.
00:28:50Thanks.
00:28:54Is that why we came here?
00:28:56To hear that singer?
00:28:57Well, I wanted to get a look at her,
00:28:58but I also wanted to spend some time with you.
00:29:01I really shouldn't have come to the nightclub.
00:29:03Nonsense, do you, good to get away from that apartment?
00:29:06Look, you're going to move from there, aren't you?
00:29:08I don't think so.
00:29:11At least not for a while yet, anyway.
00:29:13I keep hoping I'll find some, some clue.
00:29:16Oh, that reminds me.
00:29:18We can't stay here very long.
00:29:19My assistant Quigley's waiting for me.
00:29:22I think we've got to leave.
00:29:26Missed the place, Howard.
00:29:28The president reported they arrived here about a half hour ago
00:29:30with a loan to leave.
00:29:31I'd like to get a look inside.
00:29:33Exit to the elevator.
00:29:43That's for what?
00:29:44Anybody else around here.
00:29:46Yeah?
00:29:48Who?
00:29:50Now, you've got the delivery entrance.
00:29:51He's downstairs.
00:29:53Who's downstairs?
00:29:54I don't know.
00:29:55Two or three of them.
00:29:56We've got a chance.
00:29:56Let's go in.
00:29:57Sure.
00:29:57I'll put you downstairs.
00:29:59Yeah, we'll be there.
00:30:22This stuff can't all be leaflets.
00:30:25Hard to tell what any of it is.
00:30:26Might even be legitimate.
00:30:27Let's poke around some more.
00:30:37We're standing right in the middle of Main Street here.
00:30:39Hey, wait a minute.
00:30:40I wonder what's inside these things.
00:30:42Let's look.
00:30:45This looks like some more important work.
00:30:47Yeah.
00:30:51There's some kind of shirt.
00:30:53Uniform shirt.
00:30:54Fancy dress, costumes, and everything.
00:30:56Even buttons for the lapel.
00:30:58Souvenir.
00:30:59Thanks.
00:31:00Somebody must be making a lot of money out of these things.
00:31:03You mean they sell these uniforms?
00:31:04Well, don't give them away.
00:31:06If you want to play crusader, you've got to buy a uniform, badges, belts, caps, all that organization stuff.
00:31:13This is how wars are started for that dusty warehouse.
00:31:16Who do you really think is behind these things there?
00:31:20Let's find out of what's going on down there.
00:31:41Let's find out of what's going on down there.
00:31:51Who said angels feared a threat?
00:31:53Not me.
00:31:54Let's get out of here.
00:31:58Another crusader leaflet.
00:32:00Where'd you get it?
00:32:00In a little print shop downtown.
00:32:02Haven't watched 24 hours a day.
00:32:04Tending to that, boss.
00:32:06Malloy.
00:32:07Yes, Mrs. Hartley.
00:32:10Well, uh...
00:32:15Well, yes, but it'll have to be after seven.
00:32:18Yeah.
00:32:19Fine.
00:32:21Old Mother Hartley?
00:32:22Yeah.
00:32:24Got to speak for your supper?
00:32:27Oh, no.
00:32:40Yes, Callagher.
00:32:42Oh, yes.
00:32:44Send him in.
00:32:52Mr. Malloy.
00:32:54Thanks.
00:32:55Come in, Mr. Malloy.
00:33:01So glad you could drop by.
00:33:03Frankly, your call aroused my curiosity.
00:33:06Lucid.
00:33:06Thanks.
00:33:09Howard.
00:33:10May I call you Howard?
00:33:12Yes, of course.
00:33:13Do you want to be special prosecutor?
00:33:17Huh?
00:33:18Because you can be if you want to be.
00:33:21Some rather influential people think you're the man for the job.
00:33:25Well, Charlie Riggs started it.
00:33:27I'd like a chance to finish it.
00:33:28They've already been in touch with the governor.
00:33:30Really?
00:33:31Then I guess it's okay with the D.A.
00:33:33Frank, he won't object when he knows that I'm supporting you.
00:33:36I'm very grateful, Mrs. Hartley.
00:33:38Now, one thing.
00:33:40I'm told that a small-time politician named Agostini had something to do with suggesting
00:33:46your name as special prosecutor.
00:33:48Well, I guess that's right.
00:33:49He did.
00:33:50For this man's reputation is unsavory, to say the least.
00:33:55I suggest that you disavow Mr. Agostini immediately.
00:33:59Consider him disavowed.
00:34:00In that case, I think you might consider yourself appointed.
00:34:07Malloy, try to reach you all afternoon.
00:34:11Other people can call you a special prosecutor, but to me, you'll always be my favorite assistant.
00:34:18Is that you, Malloy?
00:34:20Agostini.
00:34:21I fall to congratulate you on your appointment.
00:34:26What?
00:34:27Well, if there's anything I can do, let me know.
00:34:31Yeah, call the angel.
00:34:35Well, Howard, we did it.
00:34:37Your special prosecutor.
00:34:40I expect great things of you.
00:34:42By the way, could you drive over tomorrow night?
00:34:46I want you to meet some people.
00:34:48I've sent you a confidential file on some of them.
00:34:52Men who have tremendous influence.
00:34:55Take a look at my notes before you come over.
00:34:58Yeah.
00:34:59Yeah, I'll do that.
00:35:00About six tomorrow?
00:35:01Right.
00:35:02Bye.
00:35:04Mrs. Hartley sent you this envelope about an hour ago.
00:35:06By special messenger.
00:35:07Yeah, she just told me.
00:35:12Things are moving pretty fast, aren't they?
00:35:14Yeah, in a circle.
00:35:16I wish there was something I could do to help you, Howard.
00:35:22I usually like to help myself.
00:35:32That's fine, too.
00:35:34But what about these wires?
00:35:37All these papers you have to sign?
00:35:41I could run errands.
00:35:43I hate to keep you out of this, baby.
00:35:45Howard.
00:35:47We picked her up at the airport.
00:35:48That man, he has no right to stop me.
00:35:50Where were you going?
00:35:50Yeah, a one-way ticket to Mexico City.
00:35:52I'd take a little trip.
00:35:53An expensive trip.
00:35:54Who arranged it?
00:35:55Nobody.
00:35:56Somebody ordered you to leave.
00:35:57Who was it?
00:35:58Please.
00:35:59I have had so much trouble.
00:36:01Without my husband, I don't know what to do.
00:36:04Mrs. Borg, why are you so frightened?
00:36:06What is it?
00:36:07Someone called her this afternoon.
00:36:09Told her to catch the next plane to Mexico City.
00:36:11You know about that?
00:36:11We've had your telephone tapped for several days.
00:36:13Please, Mrs. Borg, for your own sake, tell us.
00:36:16Who called you?
00:36:18I, uh, I don't know.
00:36:21It was a strange voice.
00:36:24Booker is a material witness, without baiting.
00:36:25What does this mean?
00:36:26This means you'll be safe, Mrs. Borg.
00:36:28If we let you go home, those men might kill you the way they killed your husband.
00:36:31You won't let them kill me?
00:36:32Come along, Mrs. Borg.
00:36:42You want to help, huh?
00:36:44Okay, you got the job.
00:36:46This is the place for you, writing here.
00:36:49I wanted you to say that.
00:36:50I did.
00:36:52Anything else you wanted me to say?
00:36:54Anything else you want to say?
00:36:56That'll take a long time.
00:36:58Oh?
00:36:59Mm-hmm.
00:37:00Mm-hmm.
00:37:00Mm-hmm.
00:37:33Mr. Malloy.
00:37:34Malloy, the next one?
00:37:35Yes, dear.
00:37:36You did come, I'm so.
00:37:38So am I.
00:37:39Change of scene.
00:37:40Will you have a cocktail?
00:37:42Or would you rather have something to drink?
00:37:44Thanks, I'll wait a while.
00:37:45We're cutting off.
00:37:46Well, just as you please.
00:37:49Now, if I told you,
00:37:52you're going to meet some people.
00:37:55Ray, will you come over and look at this?
00:37:56Presently, my dear.
00:37:58Some people who are there watching,
00:38:00as the saying is.
00:38:02I've met a few of those already.
00:38:03We'll add to your collection.
00:38:05All these people?
00:38:06Oh, no.
00:38:07Just the ones I sent you to know.
00:38:09As a matter of fact,
00:38:10I don't know half the people here myself.
00:38:12Thank you, heaven.
00:38:13The only people I enjoy these days
00:38:16are the ones I haven't met before.
00:38:17The strangers that I've heard me bring along.
00:38:20Shall we go?
00:38:24You went over my notes carefully.
00:38:26Yes, very.
00:38:29Now, keep them in mind.
00:38:31Oh, I beg your pardon.
00:38:33As we meet the subject...
00:38:34Grace, I left your cocktail.
00:38:36Yes, just a moment.
00:38:39Now, I'll go from there to right.
00:38:42Mr. Nichols, may I present Mr. Malloy?
00:38:45Harry, this is our new special prosecutor.
00:38:47Malloy?
00:38:48We've already met, informally.
00:38:50Mr. Nichols' papers didn't think much of my appointment.
00:38:52Harry against you?
00:38:54Really?
00:38:55Well, surely it's only because
00:38:56he's opposing his local competitor,
00:38:58the Express Journal.
00:39:00Oh, now, really, Grace?
00:39:01Grace, who wants to look into a man's motives
00:39:03at a gay time like this?
00:39:05We're all here for a little relaxation
00:39:07from serious things.
00:39:09Nichols is a lord of the press,
00:39:11began as a copy boy
00:39:12and worked his way to the top
00:39:14by inheriting a chain of newspapers
00:39:15from his father.
00:39:16Give Nichols any trouble
00:39:18and you'll be the subject
00:39:19of a furious editorial the next day,
00:39:21simultaneously in 34 newspapers.
00:39:23Well, you think this is the time
00:39:24to discuss Mr. Malloy's business or mine?
00:39:27Why, Harry, I thought you did
00:39:28all your business at cocktail parties.
00:39:29Sometimes, Grace,
00:39:30your polite little jokes
00:39:31aren't very polite.
00:39:32Or very little.
00:39:33Which brings us to Tom Waldron, Jr.
00:39:36Mr. Malloy, may I present
00:39:37the worst-dressed radio executive
00:39:39in the industry
00:39:39and the only really frivolous mind
00:39:42you'll meet this afternoon.
00:39:44If Grace hadn't been
00:39:45Judge Hartley's wife,
00:39:46she'd not get away
00:39:46with such casual slander.
00:39:49Waldron is a schemer and a fool.
00:39:52He wants to get into politics,
00:39:54but then who doesn't?
00:39:55Like a lot of people,
00:39:57he thinks society is tumbling
00:39:58and that the Waldron plan
00:40:00for social reorganization
00:40:01must be applied at once
00:40:03or we perish.
00:40:04And if Grace ever runs out
00:40:05of bright conversation,
00:40:06all she has to do
00:40:07is to remember
00:40:08the judge's epigrams.
00:40:11You are a rascal, Kostrick.
00:40:13A complete rascal.
00:40:14I acknowledge it.
00:40:15And here's Stuart Pemberton,
00:40:17public relations.
00:40:18Hello, Mr. Malloy.
00:40:20Or should I say
00:40:20private relations?
00:40:22You shouldn't, Grace.
00:40:23May I introduce
00:40:25Sigmund Kostrick,
00:40:26Mrs. Hartley,
00:40:28Mr. Malloy.
00:40:29Mr. Kostrick and I have met.
00:40:32I, uh,
00:40:33I don't seem to recall
00:40:35our meeting.
00:40:36Oh?
00:40:37Well, I must be mistaken.
00:40:39If you'll excuse me.
00:40:42Look here, Malloy.
00:40:44This crusade of yours.
00:40:46Tongue in cheek, isn't it?
00:40:47Well, hardly.
00:40:49Don't tell me
00:40:50you're the
00:40:50quixotic defender
00:40:52of the rights of men.
00:40:53The express journal
00:40:55says you are.
00:40:55It's hard to tell
00:40:56what you mean.
00:40:57What I mean is
00:40:58you can't be falling
00:40:59for your own publicity.
00:41:01I can't help
00:41:02thinking the law.
00:41:03It's just...
00:41:03Pemberton's a big-time fixer.
00:41:06He's a fool, too,
00:41:07but very influential.
00:41:08I can't tell you
00:41:10anything about him
00:41:10that he won't tell you
00:41:11himself in conversation.
00:41:13Be careful of this man.
00:41:15The right to hate
00:41:16is just as inalienable
00:41:18as inalienable
00:41:19as the right
00:41:20to free speech.
00:41:21You've got to
00:41:22defend that, too,
00:41:23you know.
00:41:24Inalienable's
00:41:24a very important word,
00:41:25Mr. Pemberton.
00:41:26I'm sure it's hard
00:41:27to say on purpose.
00:41:28Never mind the remark,
00:41:29young man.
00:41:31I'm talking about
00:41:32the history of man.
00:41:34Out of hatred
00:41:35came the triumph
00:41:35of one group
00:41:36over another,
00:41:37the elimination
00:41:38of the misfit
00:41:38and the weak,
00:41:39the creative evolution
00:41:40of a superior class.
00:41:42Don't you see, Malloy?
00:41:43Out of it came
00:41:44our great
00:41:45industrial civilization.
00:41:47And out of it
00:41:48came a war
00:41:49with 20 million dead.
00:41:51Oh.
00:41:51I feel obliged
00:41:52to interrupt
00:41:52this conversation.
00:41:54Will you excuse us,
00:41:55Stuart, please?
00:41:58Bad politics, Howard.
00:42:00A bad man.
00:42:01I agree.
00:42:02And a man
00:42:02with the habit
00:42:03of victory.
00:42:06Cartier?
00:42:06No, thanks.
00:42:08Andrew,
00:42:08bring Mr. Malloy
00:42:09a scotch and...
00:42:11What?
00:42:13You're welcome.
00:42:14Grace, chérie,
00:42:15you must come over
00:42:15here for a moment
00:42:16just to set
00:42:16the point for us.
00:42:18Apparently,
00:42:18I'm necessary
00:42:19to an argument.
00:42:20Will you excuse me?
00:42:21Of course.
00:42:26Of course.
00:42:43I'm Barbara.
00:42:45I'm Barbara.
00:42:46Good.
00:42:47Good what?
00:42:48Good name for you.
00:42:50You look as if you ought to be called Barbara.
00:42:52Really?
00:42:56Scotch and water, sir.
00:43:00That was mine.
00:43:01Yes, I know.
00:43:05I wonder if your name
00:43:06fits the way you look.
00:43:07Malloy's my name.
00:43:08Howard Malloy.
00:43:09Good.
00:43:10Good what?
00:43:11Good guessing.
00:43:12That's who I thought you were.
00:43:14How?
00:43:16Everybody here
00:43:16has been talking
00:43:17about you this afternoon.
00:43:18And you're the only stranger
00:43:20who looks as if
00:43:20he ought to be called Howard.
00:43:24You're a special
00:43:25something or other,
00:43:26aren't you?
00:43:28Prosecutor.
00:43:29What do you do?
00:43:30Sing.
00:43:31Yes, obviously.
00:43:32You ever relax?
00:43:34From what?
00:43:35Singing.
00:43:36As often as possible.
00:43:38What about the song
00:43:39a minute ago?
00:43:41That was just for myself.
00:43:43I like to do things
00:43:44for myself once in a while.
00:43:47Doesn't that happen often?
00:43:49Now, stop this.
00:43:50I never answer questions
00:43:52on an empty stomach.
00:43:54I'm hungry, too.
00:43:55You with somebody?
00:43:57That's a very large question.
00:44:00I'm not with Harry, anyway.
00:44:02I, uh...
00:44:03I like the song, Barbara.
00:44:05The song?
00:44:06Harry?
00:44:08Howard, please forgive me.
00:44:10Did you finally get a drink?
00:44:11Yes, I did, Mrs. Hartley.
00:44:16You've met more strangers
00:44:17today than I have.
00:44:18I was just getting
00:44:19acquainted when Nichols arrived.
00:44:21Who's she with?
00:44:22Goodness knows.
00:44:24Well, our Mr. Pemberton
00:44:25has been looking
00:44:26most possessive.
00:44:28And Mr. Costa Rica.
00:44:30I know.
00:44:31Your office called,
00:44:32Mr. Malloy,
00:44:33and Mr. Quigley
00:44:34is waiting for you.
00:44:35They said it was important.
00:44:36Yes, thanks.
00:44:37Does that mean
00:44:38you have to go?
00:44:39Yes, right away.
00:44:41Well, I'll have
00:44:42Andrew fetch a hat.
00:44:43Thanks.
00:44:44Good night,
00:44:45Miss Whitfield.
00:44:47Good night,
00:44:48Mr. Malloy.
00:45:28Oh, what did you want?
00:45:30I just wanted to see you again,
00:45:31that's all.
00:45:32Didn't you want
00:45:33to see me again?
00:45:34You're still a man
00:45:34with a lot of questions,
00:45:35aren't you?
00:45:36Yeah.
00:45:37Didn't you want
00:45:37to see me again?
00:45:39Yes.
00:45:40All right, then.
00:45:44How did you get my number?
00:45:45That's easy,
00:45:46where I work.
00:45:47Is everything easy
00:45:48for you?
00:45:49No.
00:45:51It's just as well.
00:45:54Oh, please,
00:45:54no pictures.
00:45:55This is for
00:45:56the house collection,
00:45:57sir.
00:46:00That's going to look
00:46:01as if the drinks
00:46:02weren't very good.
00:46:03Maybe they can
00:46:04paint in a smile.
00:46:05You're through,
00:46:06Roger.
00:46:06Sure.
00:46:07Let's get out of here.
00:46:08Got to change.
00:46:20Did you see the show
00:46:21tonight?
00:46:21Most of it.
00:46:22Like it?
00:46:24I like you.
00:46:26Didn't you think
00:46:26the boy with the harp
00:46:27was good?
00:46:28I, uh,
00:46:29didn't notice.
00:46:30I was waiting for you.
00:46:32Well,
00:46:33I won't be long.
00:46:35I'll pardon your back.
00:46:37What?
00:46:38About face,
00:46:39Mr. Prosecutor.
00:46:40Oh, sure.
00:46:44Is this visit, um,
00:46:46business or pleasure?
00:46:48Right now,
00:46:49it's your business
00:46:50and my pleasure.
00:46:51We can go somewhere else.
00:46:53People always want
00:46:55to go somewhere else.
00:46:57Do you blame them?
00:46:59It depends.
00:47:01This wall
00:47:01is very uninteresting.
00:47:05Patience, patience.
00:47:07I'm changing my mind.
00:47:09About what?
00:47:10About you.
00:47:12All right,
00:47:13at ease.
00:47:17Changing from what
00:47:19to what?
00:47:19From maybe.
00:47:23Perhaps.
00:47:24Are you always
00:47:25so uncertain
00:47:26about things?
00:47:27Things?
00:47:28People.
00:47:30Aren't you?
00:47:32Sometimes.
00:47:35Birds of a feather.
00:47:43Special prosecutor
00:47:45turns playboy.
00:47:47I should have broken
00:47:48that girl's camera
00:47:49last night.
00:47:50Forget about it
00:47:51last night.
00:47:52Have you forgotten
00:47:53about it?
00:47:54Not yet.
00:47:55But I'm trying.
00:47:56Why?
00:47:58It doesn't figure.
00:48:00With what?
00:48:01With you.
00:48:06What are you after?
00:48:08You.
00:48:10Look out, Howard.
00:48:12Look out.
00:48:12For what?
00:48:13Don't play with me.
00:48:15Who's playing?
00:48:16If you meant
00:48:17everything last night
00:48:18then look out.
00:48:19I told you before
00:48:20everything's easy for you.
00:48:22Too easy.
00:48:23Not always.
00:48:24No?
00:48:25When was it?
00:48:26I don't know.
00:48:27Maybe you're right.
00:48:28Am I?
00:48:28Matter of fact,
00:48:29things have been
00:48:30kind of easy for me.
00:48:31Take the way
00:48:31I got to be
00:48:32special prosecutor.
00:48:33What do you mean?
00:48:35It's as though
00:48:35somebody fixed it.
00:48:36Or had to fix it.
00:48:38Fixed it?
00:48:39Yeah.
00:48:40You must have
00:48:41smiled at someone.
00:48:42The way you smile
00:48:43at me.
00:48:44People should be
00:48:44careful of that smile.
00:48:46People should be
00:48:47careful of a lot
00:48:48of things about you.
00:48:49You know,
00:48:50even angels
00:48:50can get their wings
00:48:51clipped.
00:48:53You got the scissors
00:48:56for my wings?
00:48:59Take a look at this,
00:49:01Malloy,
00:49:01and keep looking at it
00:49:02so it doesn't happen
00:49:03again.
00:49:04That's no way
00:49:05to run a special
00:49:05investigation.
00:49:07Now stay out of trouble.
00:49:12Trouble?
00:49:13Really?
00:49:14Am I a lot of trouble?
00:49:16Women always are.
00:49:18Mm-hmm.
00:49:19Beautiful women, eh?
00:49:20Of course.
00:49:22That's what men
00:49:23always like.
00:49:24The beauty?
00:49:25The trouble.
00:49:27Perhaps you'd like
00:49:27this little lady
00:49:28better, Miss Whitfield.
00:49:29No, thank you.
00:49:31This is the one for me.
00:49:32Does he have a name?
00:49:34Yes.
00:49:35It's Benny.
00:49:36Benvenuto, really.
00:49:38Hmm.
00:49:39I used to have a cat
00:49:40they called Hadrian VII.
00:49:41We ended up calling him
00:49:43Harry.
00:49:44Why, yes.
00:49:45Wasn't that the cat
00:49:45Mr. Pemberton bought
00:49:46for you?
00:49:47Yes.
00:49:48It was.
00:49:50Oh, uh.
00:49:51Well, uh,
00:49:52will you take Benny
00:49:53with you or shall we
00:49:54send him?
00:49:54I'll take him with me.
00:49:56Do you have one of
00:49:57those carrying boxes?
00:50:00Oh, yes,
00:50:00a traveling case.
00:50:01I'll get one for you.
00:50:02I always thought you
00:50:04bought cats at a
00:50:05special place,
00:50:06a cat farm or something
00:50:08where they bred them
00:50:08and train them.
00:50:09They train them here,
00:50:11but not out of the
00:50:12last shred of their
00:50:13character.
00:50:14Oh.
00:50:16Anyway, I like to
00:50:17train them myself.
00:50:20What happened to
00:50:21Hadrian VII?
00:50:23I got tired of him.
00:50:27Why did you come over
00:50:28to me at that party,
00:50:29Howard?
00:50:30Because you were the
00:50:31only person who didn't
00:50:33look as if you
00:50:34belonged there.
00:50:35Really?
00:50:36I belong anywhere I
00:50:38wanted.
00:50:39Do you?
00:50:41Don't I?
00:50:43This is a nice one.
00:50:45It's finished in
00:50:45leatherette.
00:50:46May I take him?
00:50:50What is this great
00:50:51interest in cats,
00:50:52anyway?
00:50:53I have a friend who
00:50:54doesn't like cats.
00:50:57Can you lend me
00:50:58$35?
00:50:59Why, sure.
00:51:00I think so.
00:51:01It's for Benny.
00:51:02Well, can't I...
00:51:04Would you like to?
00:51:06Oh, you're welcome.
00:51:07It's a pleasure.
00:51:09It's the thought,
00:51:10not the cat.
00:51:11I know he'll be
00:51:12well-behaved.
00:51:13Do you?
00:51:14Here you are.
00:51:16Oh, thank you, sir.
00:51:28Barbara.
00:51:29Barbara, darling.
00:51:30Hi, Lenny.
00:51:31How are you?
00:51:31Fine.
00:51:32Fine.
00:51:33You?
00:51:33Going along.
00:51:34You know Howard
00:51:34Malloy, Lenny?
00:51:35Leonard Lyons, Howard.
00:51:37How do you do?
00:51:38In a hurry, Lenny.
00:51:39Bye.
00:51:40Bye seeing you.
00:51:43Now, who was that?
00:51:44Bye.
00:51:45Leonard Lyons, my sweet.
00:51:46He writes that column,
00:51:47The Lyons' Den.
00:52:03Howard, this is too much.
00:52:05Putting cats on your expense sheet.
00:52:07One cat?
00:52:08Thirty-five dollars.
00:52:09Thirty-five dollars.
00:52:10Mine a duty, Frank.
00:52:12Better stick to the obvious accessories.
00:52:14Oh, by the way,
00:52:15somebody sprung your little gunman friend this morning.
00:52:18What?
00:52:18I ordered him held without fail.
00:52:20Couldn't be done.
00:52:20Not on those charges.
00:52:21Then we should have made some up.
00:52:22You should have.
00:52:23But you've been so busy in nightclubs and bedshops.
00:52:25You're making a fool out of yourself and the whole department.
00:52:28Now, Howard,
00:52:29you've got to stop seeing this Whitfield girl.
00:52:32Playboy prosecutor.
00:52:33I'm seeing her this afternoon, Frank.
00:52:35In about an hour.
00:52:35Yes.
00:52:36Pink tights and a high wire in front of City Hall, I suppose.
00:52:39No.
00:52:40It's in her apartment.
00:52:44It has to stop.
00:52:45There's got to be an end to it right away.
00:52:47You understand,
00:52:48there must be a finish to the whole thing this afternoon.
00:52:51We can't let it go any further.
00:52:53What do you mean, we?
00:52:54I mean, those are my instructions.
00:52:57And I agree with you.
00:52:58You're full of little shocks and surprises these days, aren't you?
00:53:01Yeah.
00:53:02So is life.
00:53:03Our kind of life, anyway.
00:53:05I don't get it.
00:53:07First, I'm told to make sparks with Malloy and I get along fine.
00:53:10Then, told to stop.
00:53:11Put an end to it.
00:53:12This afternoon.
00:53:14How?
00:53:14I don't care how you do it.
00:53:15He's coming here, isn't he?
00:53:16You know that.
00:53:17You told me to invite him.
00:53:18I didn't know whether you reached him or not, is all.
00:53:20Oh, you're so touchy these days.
00:53:23What's the matter, my angel?
00:53:25Upset again?
00:53:26Afraid things are being found out about you and me?
00:53:29Take it easy.
00:53:31I'm talking business now.
00:53:32I know you are.
00:53:34Say you talk business, my pet.
00:53:36You do it so rudely.
00:53:38Just do what you're told.
00:53:39What else do I ever do?
00:53:44When Malloy comes, tell him anything you like.
00:53:47You're going away for a trip.
00:53:49Or you're tired of him.
00:53:50Or a husband has come back.
00:53:52Husband?
00:53:53Whee!
00:53:53Anything you like.
00:53:55But finish it.
00:53:57And if he doesn't take finish for an answer?
00:53:58Get tough.
00:53:59Aggravate him.
00:54:00Insult him.
00:54:01Set him on fire.
00:54:02Now cut it out.
00:54:03Maybe you better get out of town.
00:54:05Maybe you better really go away for a while.
00:54:07Hmm?
00:54:08Take a little trip.
00:54:10Would you miss me?
00:54:10Like my next breath.
00:54:14Who would that be?
00:54:15Probably the man with the dynamite to put under Mr.
00:54:18Now please.
00:54:18Oh, relax.
00:54:19It's just the man from the liquor store.
00:54:21Malloy likes scotch.
00:54:23Come on in, Sam.
00:54:25Milk man.
00:54:26Hi.
00:54:26Here's your stuff, Miss Whitfield.
00:54:28Charge it.
00:54:28Don't I always say it?
00:54:29Sure, Miss Whitfield.
00:54:30I just like to hear you talk.
00:54:31Next time, Sam.
00:54:32So, now that I'm making headway with our handsome prosecutor, now I stop, huh?
00:54:37I'm glad you finally understand what to do.
00:54:40I know what to do, but I certainly don't understand it.
00:54:43Oh, don't worry, honey.
00:54:45Sometimes we all have to do things we don't understand.
00:54:49Until afterwards.
00:54:51Come on, Knuckles.
00:54:52Leave our little bright friend to Mr. Malloy.
00:54:55He likes cats, too.
00:55:00What do you mean you're going away?
00:55:03Something wrong?
00:55:05I, uh, I need a change.
00:55:09Relaxation, sunshine.
00:55:10I think I'll go to Florida someplace.
00:55:12I've been thinking about it for some time, about getting away.
00:55:16Away from anything special?
00:55:17What do you mean?
00:55:19There comes a time when the wisest thing to do is get away.
00:55:22I don't know what you're talking about.
00:55:24Who would I want to get away from?
00:55:27Me, maybe.
00:55:28You?
00:55:30Maybe.
00:55:32That's what I said.
00:55:33All right, because I'm tired of you and me.
00:55:35I don't want any more, and that's that.
00:55:37There.
00:55:38You can't escape from me, darling.
00:55:40Really?
00:55:41Can't I?
00:55:44You're stuck.
00:55:45You're it.
00:55:46You're in the wrong conversation.
00:55:49Who is it you're afraid of?
00:55:50I'm not afraid of anyone.
00:55:52All right, if you won't tell me, I'll tell you.
00:55:54All right.
00:55:56Tell me, then.
00:55:57There's a hard-eyed little gunman.
00:55:59Calls himself Miller.
00:56:00Other people call him Knuckles.
00:56:02And there's an artist with a scrubby beard.
00:56:03He painted your portrait.
00:56:04His name's Costner.
00:56:06There's another guy, a very important guy.
00:56:08Calls himself the Angel.
00:56:10He's somebody you might want to say goodbye to.
00:56:12Stop acting like a prosecutor.
00:56:14I don't know any of these people.
00:56:15Never heard of them.
00:56:16Don't lie to me, Barbara.
00:56:17Oh, stop it.
00:56:18I'm trying to help you, to warn you.
00:56:20When these people finish using you...
00:56:22Nobody's using me.
00:56:23They murdered Borg and Riggs.
00:56:25And heaven only knows what's happened to Costnerick.
00:56:28Ziggy?
00:56:28Yes, he's been missing for three days.
00:56:30And when they're through with you,
00:56:32you knew what they were up to.
00:56:34Why didn't you stay out of it?
00:56:35I couldn't stay out of it.
00:56:36They wouldn't let me.
00:56:40Now, that's more like it.
00:56:42There's no point in lying.
00:56:44Oh, Howard, hold me.
00:56:46Help me.
00:56:51I can't help you, baby, unless you help me.
00:56:56We need your efforts.
00:56:59Why, you bingy double-crossing.
00:57:02You're using me just like all the rest.
00:57:04Now, look for it.
00:57:05Why, you...
00:57:06These people you're mixed up with, don't go, things.
00:57:08They put a bullet in you and put you out a window.
00:57:11Let go of me.
00:57:14There's a lot of questions for you to answer before you let you go.
00:57:16No, no, no, no, no.
00:57:20No, no, no.
00:57:22Take it easy, baby.
00:57:23Take it easy.
00:57:24Who cares?
00:57:26Who cares?
00:57:33I'm trying to help you.
00:57:33Baby, I don't want to hurt you.
00:57:34I'm trying to help you.
00:57:35I'll kill you.
00:57:37No!
00:58:07No!
00:58:37No!
00:58:42No!
00:59:28Mr. Malloy, Mr. Malloy, Mr. Malloy, what are you doing here?
00:59:49Mr. Malloy, Mr. Malloy, Mr. Malloy, Mr. Malloy, Mr. Malloy, Mr. Malloy, Mr. Malloy, Mr. Malloy, Mr. Malloy, Mr. Malloy,
00:59:50Mr. Malloy, Mr. Malloy, Mr. Malloy, Mr. Malloy, Mr. Malloy, Mr. Malloy, Mr. Malloy, Mr. Malloy, Mr. Malloy, Mr. Malloy,
00:59:50Mr. Malloy, Mr. Malloy, Mr. Malloy, Mr. Malloy, Mr. Malloy, Mr. Malloy, Mr. Malloy, Mr. Malloy, Mr. Malloy, Mr. Malloy,
00:59:51Mr. Malloy, Mr. Malloy, Mr. Malloy, Mr. Malloy, Mr. Malloy, Mr. Malloy, Mr. Malloy, Mr. Malloy, Mr. Malloy, Mr. Malloy,
00:59:55Mr. Malloy, Mr. Malloy, Mr. Malloy, Mr. Malloy, Mr. Mall
01:00:05Going on. Wait. I swear I had nothing to do with this. I swear. I swear.
01:00:10Then what are you doing here?
01:00:11When you got mixed up with the Crusaders, Costa Rica, you got mixed up with murder.
01:00:15I did not intend to get mixed up with them.
01:00:17It was all because of that woman.
01:00:20Barbara?
01:00:21No, not Barbara.
01:00:23Grace Hartley.
01:00:26Grace Hartley?
01:00:27Yes. She's the one who is behind all this.
01:00:31She's the one who is their leader.
01:00:33Can you prove that?
01:00:34I was painting her portrait.
01:00:36I was in her library, and I discovered some papers that I thought interesting and important.
01:00:42What kind of paper?
01:00:44Oh, names, figures.
01:00:47These Crusaders make money, you know.
01:00:50These papers told me a lot about where they get the money and what they do with it.
01:00:55I took them away with me for what they were worth.
01:00:58What? Please.
01:01:00Grace Hartley could help me in my career.
01:01:02She had influence, and she had provided me, among other comforts, with my first one-man show.
01:01:07It opens tomorrow at the Contemporary Museum.
01:01:10You told me the first time I met you.
01:01:12Where are these papers? I want to see them.
01:01:13At the museum.
01:01:15Yes?
01:01:15They're hidden behind one of my paintings.
01:01:18They are between the canvas and the backing of the frame.
01:01:23I want to see them.
01:01:24Now you do not believe I killed Barbara?
01:01:28Oh, Carolyn.
01:01:29Quigley there.
01:01:33Grace.
01:01:36Oh.
01:01:37I thought you were gone.
01:01:39We saw your car outside.
01:01:40We decided to wait.
01:01:41What's going on upstairs?
01:01:43Never mind.
01:01:44Nothing.
01:01:49Everything.
01:01:49Everything.
01:01:49Give me your gun.
01:01:50That don't make sense.
01:01:52It does.
01:01:52Give me your gun.
01:01:53Give me your...
01:01:54Where's my lawyer?
01:01:55He's upstairs in his office.
01:01:56What's going on?
01:01:58I haven't time to talk now.
01:02:00Don't wait around here.
01:02:01You might get into trouble.
01:02:03Where are you going now?
01:02:03I have an important call for me.
01:02:05I'll go in there.
01:02:11Bring the car around for me.
01:02:13Let's see which is up to.
01:02:18Look, call Homicide for me, will you?
01:02:21Barbara Whitfield's been murdered.
01:02:23Tell him to come to 689 East 57th Street.
01:02:26Yeah, I'm still there.
01:02:28But when the boys get here, I'll be on my way to the Contemporary Museum.
01:02:31With Sigmund Costnery.
01:02:33Got it?
01:02:39Just a minute.
01:02:40Just a minute.
01:02:41I'm coming as fast as I can.
01:02:48I'm sorry, ma'am.
01:02:49We're closed for the night.
01:02:50But I just want to go upstairs to one of the gals.
01:02:52I can't let you do that, ma'am.
01:02:53No visitors after hours.
01:02:55I was here earlier and I left my food.
01:02:57Well, you'll just have to come back in the morning, ma'am.
01:02:59I've got my orders.
01:03:00But I...
01:03:01Come on.
01:03:11I'll be right back.
01:03:41Oh, it's a watchman.
01:03:45Yes.
01:03:46The race has been busy.
01:03:48Better move the body away from the door, back against the wall.
01:03:51Sure, in case somebody comes by and looks in.
01:03:54Where do you suppose you went?
01:03:56Don't ask me.
01:03:57There's a light in the door stand.
01:03:59Let's go.
01:04:00Yeah.
01:04:00Let's go.
01:04:21The place is wide open at any hour of the night.
01:04:23There must be a guard around somewhere.
01:04:25Know where the exhibition is?
01:04:27Of course, I hung it myself.
01:04:28Let's go then.
01:04:29This way.
01:04:57Let's go.
01:05:03Let's go.
01:05:37It's in here.
01:05:47There seems to be somebody in there.
01:05:49Must be a guard.
01:06:16Agostini.
01:06:25Grace Hartley.
01:06:27She must have heard what I told Molloy.
01:06:29A guard.
01:06:58She must have heard what I told me.
01:06:59Oh, why, Figgy.
01:07:04You heard in Barbara's apartment what I told Malloy.
01:07:09Every word you said.
01:07:12You killed Barbara.
01:07:14I knew in the end you would harm her.
01:07:17And anyone else who gets in my way.
01:07:51You killed Barbara.
01:08:18I'll take those, Mrs. Harvey.
01:08:46You're badly hurt?
01:08:48No, I, I, I caught her trying to find the papers.
01:08:54I had to get them.
01:08:56I was knocked too quick.
01:08:59I had no gun.
01:09:00Where did she get you?
01:09:02We were the same kind of target for her.
01:09:05Just under the shoulder.
01:09:09She killed Barbara.
01:09:12She was in the apartment.
01:09:14And she heard me telling you where the papers were.
01:09:17She killed Barbara.
01:09:19Alois, where are you?
01:09:20In here.
01:09:25This looks like the last act of Hamlet.
01:09:27It's the last act for all kinds of things.
01:09:29Brace yourself, Frank.
01:09:33Grace Hartley.
01:09:34I'll tell you about it later.
01:09:36Here's part of it.
01:09:37All right, Carolyn.
01:09:38Is Carolyn here?
01:09:39She brought it here.
01:09:40I made her way down the corridor.
01:09:42It's kind of noisy in here.
01:09:54Howard!
01:09:56Howard!
01:09:59Howard!
01:10:05Come and tell me about all this.
01:10:08Give me time.
01:10:09We'll put it all together.
01:10:10Give me time.
01:10:12Oh, my God.
01:10:15Oh, my God.
01:10:29Oh, my God.
01:10:33Oh, my God.
01:10:36The End
01:11:11The End
