00:00:00THE END
00:00:38THE END
00:01:07WHEN I START OUT TO MAKE A FOOL OF MYSELF, THERE'S VERY LITTLE CAN STOP ME.
00:01:14IF I'D KNOWN WHERE IT WOULD END, I'D HAVE NEVER LET ANYTHING START.
00:01:18IF I'D BEEN IN MY RIGHT MIND, THAT IS.
00:01:20BUT ONCE I'D SEEN HER, ONCE I'D SEEN HER, I WAS NOT IN MY RIGHT MIND FOR QUITE SOME TIME.
00:01:32GOOD EVENING, SAID I, THINKING MYSELF A VERY GAY DOG INDEED.
00:01:37WELL, HERE WAS A BEAUTIFUL GIRL ALL BY YOURSELF AND ME, WITH PLENTY OF TIME, NOTHING TO DO BUT GET
00:01:41MYSELF INTO TROUBLE.
00:01:43SOME PEOPLE CAN SMELL DANGER, NOT ME.
00:01:47I ASKED HER IF SHE'D HAVE A CIGARETTE.
00:01:50IT'S MY LAST ONE. I'VE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO IT, SO PLEASE DON'T DISAPPOINT ME.
00:01:53BUT I DON'T SMOKE.
00:02:10THAT'S HOW I FOUND HER.
00:02:12AND FROM THAT MOMENT ON, I DID NOT USE MY HEAD VERY MUCH, EXCEPT TO BE THINKING OF HER.
00:02:21BUT IN THE PARK IN THOSE DAYS, THE ROUGH YOUNG FELLOWS USED TO BE STAGING HOLD-UPS AND THE LIKE.
00:02:27HELP! HELP!
00:02:30HOWEVER, THESE YOUNG FELLOWS WERE NOT PROFESSIONALS, AND THAT'S MAYBE THE REASON WHY I START OUT IN THIS STORY A
00:02:38LITTLE BIT LIKE A HERO, WHICH I MOST CERTAINLY AM NOT.
00:03:03ASSISTANT CENTER, I'VE BEEN The cab driver WAS WAKING UP. HE WAS OKAY, SO I BOROUGHT HIS CARRIAGE TO
00:03:07DRIVE THE LADY HOME.
00:03:08IN A SHORT WHILE SHE RECOVERED HERSELF AND BRIGHTENED UP, WHAT WERE THE THINGS I FOUND TO TELL HER, TO
00:03:14GET HER MIND OFF THE SCARE SHE HAD HAD, YOU KNOW.
00:03:16and to set her thinking as well of the brave fellow that had rescued her.
00:03:21Rosalie. Fair Rosalie.
00:03:24It's a name I'm after calling.
00:03:25Rosalie?
00:03:26Why not? It's a gorgeous, romantic little name entirely.
00:03:29My name's Michael.
00:03:30You're a character.
00:03:30Nothing more than a poor sailor man and him with a princess of Central Park
00:03:34riding along at his side, Princess Rosalie.
00:03:36I want to know, where does the princess come from?
00:03:41I don't know why she should tell you, but...
00:03:46Well, her parents were Russian, white Russian.
00:03:49You never heard of the place where she comes from.
00:03:51Would your highness care to gamble?
00:03:53Gamble? She's done it for a living.
00:03:55I bet you a dollar I've been to the place where you were born.
00:03:58Chifu.
00:03:59It's on the China coast. Chifu.
00:04:01It's the second wickedest city in the world.
00:04:03What's the first?
00:04:03Makayo. Wouldn't you say so?
00:04:05I would. I worked there.
00:04:06You worked in Makayo?
00:04:08Here's your dollar.
00:04:09How do you rate Shanghai? I work there, too.
00:04:11Yeah, as a gambler.
00:04:13Well...
00:04:13I hope you were luckier tonight.
00:04:16You need more than luck in Shanghai.
00:04:19Do you know what?
00:04:20What?
00:04:21I bet I could drive the cart from down there inside with you.
00:04:25There's a police car on the other road.
00:04:28No, we'd best get out of the park.
00:04:29The horse and cart could make it too simple for the cops to be fighting us.
00:04:32You don't like them very much, do you, Makayo?
00:04:33The cops, they can struggle along without our doing their work for them.
00:04:40Watch where you're going, Mak. Get that nag out of here.
00:04:45Now the cops are bound to pick us up.
00:04:48We'd best leave the cab here and walk.
00:04:50Whoa!
00:04:51You certainly don't like the police.
00:04:52I do not.
00:04:53My car's right there in the garage, anyway.
00:04:57Tell me, Michael.
00:04:59Is there some reason why the police don't like you?
00:05:02Well, they never put me in jail in America.
00:05:06You know, the nicest jails are in Australia.
00:05:08The worst are in Spain.
00:05:10What law did you break in Spain?
00:05:12I killed a man.
00:05:16Just now, you almost killed a girl.
00:05:19Is there a law against that?
00:05:20Try it.
00:05:21You won't like the jails in America.
00:05:22So they put you in jail for murder in this country?
00:05:24I didn't think so.
00:05:25There was a man killed his wife in Frisco last week.
00:05:28She'd gone to the icebox for a bit of supper.
00:05:30He thought she was a burglar, he said.
00:05:32He shot her five times in the head.
00:05:34Number 47!
00:05:35He had a good lawyer.
00:05:36I saw his picture in the newspaper.
00:05:38Bain produced something.
00:05:40Bannister.
00:05:40It said he was the world's greatest criminal lawyer.
00:05:43Like the world's greatest criminal.
00:05:44Some people think he is.
00:05:45Here's your car, ma'am.
00:05:48Send the bill to my husband.
00:05:51If you're a sailor, Michael, there's a job for you.
00:05:54Would you like to work for me?
00:05:58I'd like it.
00:06:06I'm shipping out tomorrow.
00:06:08So are we.
00:06:08To the west coast by way of the canal.
00:06:11We're short a man on the crew.
00:06:19I'll make it worth your while.
00:06:23Could it be this you're looking for?
00:06:26You were smart to carry a gun, traveling alone in the park.
00:06:30But if you do, you had the gun in your bag.
00:06:33Why throw away the bag?
00:06:36I meant for you to find it.
00:06:38I don't know how to shoot.
00:06:40It's easy.
00:06:42You just pull the trigger.
00:06:55Some dame, ain't she?
00:06:57Yeah, and some car.
00:07:00Evening, Mr. Grisby.
00:07:03Mr. Bannister sent it all the way from San Francisco.
00:07:07Just so she could have it here.
00:07:08Bannister?
00:07:09Arthur Bannister himself.
00:07:11Gee, some guys have all the luck.
00:07:16Personally, I don't like a girlfriend to have a husband.
00:07:20If she'll fool a husband, I figure she'll fool me.
00:07:23Now, New York is not as big a city as it pretends to be.
00:07:26So I spent the next day in the hiring hall, waiting for a ship.
00:07:31That way, big boob that I am, I thought I could escape her.
00:07:37SS, American trainer.
00:07:39Throw a little stigarettes and snudge your throat.
00:07:41Come here.
00:07:42Excuse me.
00:07:43I wonder if you could help me locate a Mr. O'Hara.
00:07:48Michael O'Hara.
00:07:49Michael O'Hara?
00:07:51You mean Black Irish, the big heart to talk fancy?
00:07:54I don't know him myself.
00:07:55Black Irish?
00:07:57Yeah, I know him.
00:07:58Joe, Joe, call Michael O'Hara.
00:08:00A guy here wants to see him.
00:08:02Michael O'Hara, please step to the bulletin board.
00:08:05A man wants to see you.
00:08:08Shipmates?
00:08:09We was in Spain together.
00:08:11They started calling him Black Irish after what he did to them finks back in 39.
00:08:15Yeah, Mike's got a lot of blood in him, but he knows how to hurt a man when he gets
00:08:18mad.
00:08:20You were asking for me.
00:08:23O'Hara?
00:08:24O'Hara.
00:08:26You're what they call an able-bodied seaman?
00:08:28Well, that's what they call it.
00:08:29Do you ever work on a yacht?
00:08:31No.
00:08:32I presume you can handle a speedboat.
00:08:34Well, I presume so.
00:08:36Do you drink?
00:08:38I beg your pardon?
00:08:39I asked you if you drink.
00:08:42Whatever's set in front of me doesn't have to be wholesome just so long as it's strong.
00:08:48Do you drink habitually?
00:08:50May I ask, mister, if you're extending the invitation?
00:08:56Well, I guess it might as well be.
00:08:59Now, mister O'Hara, if you'll show me to the nearest bar, we'll sit down together and discuss your coming
00:09:03to work for me.
00:09:04My name is Bannister.
00:09:07Bannister.
00:09:11You boys represent Mr. Arthur Bannister, the world's greatest criminal lawyer.
00:09:15He'll get you out of anything.
00:09:17It's Jake Bjornsson and, uh, uh, Goldie, right?
00:09:20Crime Goldfish is the name.
00:09:21Glad to know you, Mr. Bannister.
00:09:22Mr. Bannister's wife sent him to get me.
00:09:24Isn't that right, Mr. Bannister?
00:09:27Now Mr. Bannister is going to buy us all a few drinks.
00:09:29Well, I entertain myself by refusing to go to work for him.
00:09:43You know, Mike saved my wife's life.
00:09:48Oh?
00:09:49Here.
00:09:50Would you mind inciting these clearance number four?
00:09:53That's all we like to hear.
00:09:57Here.
00:10:00Mike's quite a hero.
00:10:03Quite a tough guy.
00:10:06Mr. Bannister, there ain't no such thing.
00:10:10No such thing as...
00:10:13a tough guy?
00:10:14What's a tough guy?
00:10:19I don't know.
00:10:20A guy with an edge.
00:10:23What makes him sing better than me?
00:10:25Something in here.
00:10:26What makes it loud?
00:10:27A microphone.
00:10:28That's his edge.
00:10:30Edge?
00:10:30A gun or a knife, a nightstick or a razor, something the other guy ain't got.
00:10:34That's good.
00:10:35Yeah, a little extra reach on a punch, a set of brass knuckles, a stripe on the sleeve,
00:10:39a badge that says cop on it, a rock in your hand, or a bankroll in your pocket.
00:10:44Well, that's an edge, brother.
00:10:46That's an edge, brother.
00:10:47Without an edge, there ain't no tough guy.
00:10:51You hear that, Black Irish?
00:10:53It's true.
00:10:57Well, bear it in mind.
00:11:03Yeah, but what makes him sing prettier than you?
00:11:10Naturally, someone had to take Mr. Bannister home.
00:11:13I told myself I couldn't leave a helpless man lying unconscious in a saloon.
00:11:20Well, it was me that was unconscious, and he was exactly as helpless as a sleeping rattlesnake.
00:11:30Hey, it's nice of me, Michael.
00:11:32It'd be so nice to me while I'm so drunk.
00:11:47I wasn't sure you'd come.
00:11:49I'm not staying.
00:11:52You've got to stay.
00:11:54Lover!
00:11:59Gonna be a real nice cruise.
00:12:02First the Panama Canal, then up the Mexican coast.
00:12:05We need a bosun, Danny Boy.
00:12:07Ever done any sailing?
00:12:09A bit of it. I saw you last night at the garage it was.
00:12:12Somebody else, Danny Boy. Not me.
00:12:15Don't go. She needs you back. You stay.
00:12:19Hey, Mike, if you play your cards right,
00:12:21I think we can get a job for the both of us.
00:12:23I think we'll take it.
00:12:35And what was I, Mike O'Hara, doing on a luxury yacht,
00:12:40pleasure cruising in the sunny Caribbean sea?
00:12:43Well, it's clear now I was chasing a married woman,
00:12:47but that's not the way I wanted to look at it.
00:12:50No. To be a real prize fathead like Mike O'Hara,
00:12:54you've got to swallow whole all the lies you can think up to tell yourself.
00:13:04Our little expedition spent some weeks in the West Indies,
00:13:08dawdling around, seeing the sights, laying in supplies,
00:13:12and getting into more trouble.
00:13:45and getting into more trouble.
00:13:47Hi! Hi on board the Circe!
00:13:51You there!
00:13:54Why don't you go swimming?
00:13:58I beg your pardon?
00:14:01I say, why don't you go swimming?
00:14:04I didn't bring a swimming suit along on the job, sir.
00:14:06You ought to the next time.
00:14:08There won't be a next time, sir. I'm quitting.
00:14:11Well, my trunk's out to fetch you.
00:14:12You'll find him in the locker in the cabin.
00:14:14I suppose you're wondering who I am, fella.
00:14:16I think I saw you in New York.
00:14:18I flew in this morning, by way of Havana.
00:14:21I'm George Grisby, you know. Grisby and Bannister.
00:14:23Where is everybody? On ashore?
00:14:25Oh, most everybody.
00:14:26My partner, too? Mr. Bannister?
00:14:28That's right.
00:14:30And the lady?
00:14:32Oh.
00:14:40Mr. Bannister tells me you once killed a man.
00:14:44You are Michael, aren't you?
00:14:46That's right.
00:14:47I'm very interested in murders.
00:14:50Forgive me if I seem inquisitive, but...
00:14:53Where'd it happen?
00:14:54At Morsier.
00:14:55How'd you do it?
00:14:57Now, let me guess.
00:14:59You did it with your hands, didn't you?
00:15:02Does it ever bother you when you think about it?
00:15:05What'd he do to you?
00:15:07Nothing.
00:15:08You just killed him for the fun of it, eh?
00:15:11He was a Franco spy. There was a war on at the time.
00:15:14Then it wasn't murdered, I suppose.
00:15:18Tell me.
00:15:19Would you do it again?
00:15:22Would you mind killing another man?
00:15:25I'd kill another Franco spy.
00:15:28I was on a pro-Franco committee, fella.
00:15:30During this Hanish war.
00:15:33Would you kill me if I gave you the chance?
00:15:36I may give you the chance.
00:15:38Michael!
00:15:40Michael!
00:15:42Before Lee went ashore, did he make up some lunch for me?
00:15:44Yes, ma'am.
00:15:45Is there enough for two?
00:15:47I'm sure I don't know, sir. Why don't you ask Mrs. Bannister?
00:15:49You ask her.
00:15:51Would you like a good paste in the eye, sir?
00:15:59I wish she'd ask me to go swimming.
00:16:08She'll ask you.
00:16:11You wait and see.
00:16:21Will you help me?
00:16:34Give me a cigarette.
00:16:38I'm learning to smoke now.
00:16:41Ever since that night in the park, I...
00:16:46I've been getting the habit.
00:16:48Do all rich women play games like this?
00:16:55Call me Rosalie.
00:16:57Call me Rosalie.
00:17:10Call me Rosalie.
00:17:12Call me Rosalie.
00:17:19I didn't think you would do that.
00:17:22I didn't either.
00:17:25You're scared, aren't you?
00:17:28You're scared.
00:17:30I'm scared too.
00:17:37You?
00:17:37You think you needed me to help you.
00:17:42You're not that kind, sir. If you need anything, you help yourself.
00:17:45I'm not what you think I am. I just try to be like that.
00:17:50Keep on trying. You might make it.
00:17:56Oh, Michael.
00:18:00What are we scared of?
00:18:08So long, kiddies!
00:18:12Now he knows about us.
00:18:14I wish I did.
00:18:19Bye-bye!
00:18:30Michael.
00:18:31Yes, sir?
00:18:32Michael, Mr. Grisby has just told me something I'm very sorry to hear.
00:18:37Lover, this really concerns you more than anyone else.
00:18:41Don't take your arms away.
00:18:46According to George here, Michael is anxious to quit.
00:18:50Comes a change in weather.
00:18:54Did you know about that, lover?
00:18:56No, I didn't.
00:18:58Shut up, George.
00:19:00What's the matter, Michael? The hour's too long?
00:19:02No, sir.
00:19:03How about the money?
00:19:04I don't care about that, sir.
00:19:06So money doesn't interest you, Michael. Are you independently wealthy?
00:19:09I'm independent.
00:19:10Of money?
00:19:12Before you start that novel Elsa says you're going to write, you better learn something.
00:19:16You've been traveling around the world too much to find out anything about it.
00:19:20That's good, Arthur.
00:19:21Well, sir.
00:19:23I've always found it very sanitary to be broke.
00:19:26That's good, too, Arthur.
00:19:28Shut up, George.
00:19:31Money cannot bring you health and happiness, etc.
00:19:34Is that it?
00:19:37Without money, I'd be flat on my back in the ward of a county hospital.
00:19:41Look at this yacht.
00:19:42It once belonged to Jules Bachrach, the great Bachrach,
00:19:45who kept me out of his club because my mother was a Manchester Greek.
00:19:49I got him on perjury.
00:19:51He died bankrupt.
00:19:52And here I am.
00:19:54George.
00:19:55Each man has his own idea of happiness, of course.
00:19:58I haven't got a match.
00:19:59But money is what all of us have in common.
00:20:02Take Bessie here.
00:20:03She used to work for Bachrach.
00:20:05I pay her more, don't I, Bessie?
00:20:07Yes, Mr. Bannister.
00:20:08Her salary means happiness.
00:20:10It means a home.
00:20:12Three rooms for two families.
00:20:14Bessie's a grandmother and a widow and only one of the boys is working.
00:20:18Isn't that right, Bessie?
00:20:18Yes, sir.
00:20:19Yes, of course it is.
00:20:20So Bessie goes to church every Sunday she gets off
00:20:23and, praise to God, she'll never be too old to earn the salary I pay her.
00:20:33You call yourself independent.
00:20:36Come around and see me five years from now.
00:20:38Aye, aye, sir.
00:20:44Sing it for us again, love, huh?
00:20:47Why do you stand for that, Bessie?
00:20:49I'm quitting.
00:20:50Why don't you?
00:20:51You heard him, Mr. Poet.
00:20:52I need the money.
00:20:53Talk of money and murder.
00:20:54I must be insane.
00:20:55Or else all these people are lunatics.
00:20:58That's why I can't leave.
00:20:59That poor little child he married.
00:21:01Somebody's got to take care of her.
00:21:04Please don't hold me
00:21:10But if you hold me
00:21:15Don't take your arms away
00:21:24Comes a change in weather
00:21:27Comes a change of heart
00:21:31And who knows when
00:21:35The rain will start
00:21:42So I beg you
00:21:45Please don't love me
00:21:50But if you love me
00:21:54Then don't take your lips
00:21:59Or your arms
00:22:03Or your arms
00:22:05Or your love
00:22:08Away
00:22:09Away
00:22:14Rub!
00:22:16Rub!
00:22:17Glossolusto in your hair
00:22:19Keep it glossolusto bright
00:22:21G-L-O-S-S-O-L-U-S-T-O
00:22:25Is right
00:22:28Glossolusto
00:22:31So remember ladies
00:22:33Use glossolusto
00:22:34Pleases your hair
00:22:36Pleases the man you love
00:22:39Will you help me?
00:22:43Love
00:22:43Do you believe in love at all
00:22:45Mrs. Balliston?
00:22:49Give me the wheel
00:23:01I was taught to think about love in Chinese
00:23:04The way a Frenchman thinks about laughter in French
00:23:09The Chinese say
00:23:12It is difficult for love to last long
00:23:14Therefore one who loves passionately
00:23:18Is cured of love in the end
00:23:20Well that's a hard way of thinking
00:23:22There's more to the proverb
00:23:24Human nature is eternal
00:23:26Therefore
00:23:28One who follows his nature
00:23:30Keeps his original nature
00:23:32In the end
00:23:37Lover
00:23:38Yes
00:23:41Aren't you glad I talked Michael into coming along?
00:23:45Lover
00:23:45Well
00:23:46He must have changed his mind about me
00:23:48Faith
00:23:49Mr. Bannister
00:23:49I've already told your wife
00:23:52I never make up my mind about anything at all
00:23:56Until it's over and done with
00:24:06I'd like to but I can't deny that Mr. Bannister
00:24:10Did try to give his wife the things she wanted
00:24:15She'd said once that she liked picnics
00:24:18We were on our way up the Mexican coast
00:24:20When he decided to stop and give her one
00:24:24Well
00:24:26Mr. Bannister's picnic party was most typical of him
00:24:31A lot of trouble and a great deal of money went into it
00:24:35But
00:24:35It was no more a picnic than
00:24:39Bannister was a man
00:24:41Listen when you hear what I got for you
00:24:43You'll say you bought it soon
00:24:44Sid we've worked a lot of cases together
00:24:46I'll be sorry if we have to make this one the last
00:24:48But listen this is
00:24:49There's a plot against my life
00:24:50Correct
00:24:51I'm going to be murdered
00:24:52Isn't that the information you're peddling?
00:24:54I'm going to be killed
00:24:55Why Sid don't you think I know about it?
00:24:58All about it
00:25:00Now leave me alone
00:25:02I want to enjoy myself
00:25:34I want to enjoy myself
00:25:34I want to enjoy myself
00:25:35I love you
00:25:36I want to enjoy myself
00:25:38We'll never go
00:25:38Of course
00:25:38I want to enjoy myself
00:25:39And take care of myself
00:25:39Yeah, I want to enjoy myself
00:25:51Inricular Mist Santa
00:26:18Michael, I found out about Proom, Michael, I tried to tell you before.
00:26:20Boy, he isn't really a steward.
00:26:22He isn't a good one, that's sure.
00:26:23He's a detective, Michael.
00:26:24My husband hires him to watch me.
00:26:26He wants to fix it so I'll never be able to divorce him.
00:26:28He means if he can divorce you.
00:26:29I haven't a cent, Michael.
00:26:30He wants to cut me off without a cent.
00:26:31Does that matter so much?
00:26:32I shouldn't see the word.
00:26:36Oh, I told you, sweet, you don't know anything about the world.
00:26:39Well, lately I've been rounding out my education.
00:27:00I'll say this much for you, Arthur.
00:27:02When you give a picnic, it's a picnic.
00:27:05Time for another?
00:27:08Arthur.
00:27:08Time for another.
00:27:10You know what?
00:27:11Michael still insists.
00:27:12I beg your pardon?
00:27:15I said what?
00:27:17Michael still insists on quitting.
00:27:20Why shouldn't he?
00:27:21Oh, no.
00:27:23I think Arthur ought to try and make him stay.
00:27:25If he wants to go, let him.
00:27:26But George likes to have him around, lover.
00:27:29Michael's so big and strong.
00:27:32Makes a good bodyguard for you.
00:27:34Isn't that what you said, George?
00:27:36I don't need a bodyguard.
00:27:37Not even a big, strong bodyguard lover?
00:27:40Don't make another drink.
00:27:40Will an Irish brogue?
00:27:42Arthur's had enough.
00:27:43You know, George thinks Michael's fallen for you, and that makes me unhappy.
00:27:47George hopes.
00:27:49But George is wrong again.
00:27:51Now, Arthur.
00:27:52George is always wrong.
00:27:53I didn't say anything about Michael and Elsa.
00:27:55I'll give you another drink, George.
00:27:58Another crispy special coming up.
00:28:01You know, you're a stupid fool, George.
00:28:04But you ought to realize I don't mind it a bit if Michael's in love with my wife.
00:28:10She's young.
00:28:12She's young.
00:28:15She's strong.
00:28:21She's beautiful.
00:28:26Good along, darling.
00:28:30Where's your sense of humor?
00:28:33I don't have to listen to you talk like that.
00:28:36Oh, yes, you do, love her.
00:28:39Now, Arthur, you leave Elsa alone.
00:28:42Come to think of it,
00:28:45why doesn't Michael want to work for us?
00:28:49Why should he?
00:28:52Why should anyone want to live around us?
00:28:56Then where's his sense of adventure?
00:28:59Broom!
00:29:00Broom!
00:29:01Excuse me, sir.
00:29:02He's over there eating.
00:29:03Tell Michael to step over here for a moment.
00:29:06Aye, sir.
00:29:12Hey, Mike!
00:29:13They want to see you over there.
00:29:14Mr. Banner's doing them.
00:29:29Well, Michael.
00:29:32Well, Mr. Bannister.
00:29:33My wife's lost her sense of humor, Michael, and you've lost your sense of adventure.
00:29:38Sit down and have a drink.
00:29:40Give him a drink, George.
00:29:41And don't look so chocked.
00:29:44Michael may not be in the social register, but then neither are you anymore.
00:29:54Is this what you folks do for amusement in the evenings, sit around toasting marshmallows and calling each other names?
00:30:02Sure, if you're so anxious for me to join the game, I'd be glad to.
00:30:06I can think of a few names I'd like to be calling you myself.
00:30:09Oh, but Michael, that isn't fair.
00:30:12You're bound to lose the contest.
00:30:14We'll have to give you a handicap, Michael.
00:30:18You should know what George knows about me, for instance, if you really want to call me names.
00:30:24And Michael, if you think George's story is interesting, you ought to hear the one about how Elsa got to
00:30:34be my wine.
00:30:38Do you want me to tell him what you've got on me, Arthur?
00:30:46Do you know, once, after the hump of Brazil, I saw the ocean so darkened with blood it was black
00:30:54and the sun fainting away over the lip of the sky.
00:30:58We'd put in it Fortaleza, but a few of us had lines out for a bit of idle fishing.
00:31:03It was me who had the first strike, a shark it was, then there was another, and another shark again.
00:31:13Till all about the sea was made of sharks, and more sharks still, and no water at all.
00:31:21My shark had torn himself from the hook, and the center, maybe the stain it was, and him bleeding his
00:31:28life away, drove the rest up mad.
00:31:31Then the beasts took to eatin' each other.
00:31:35In their frenzy, they ate at themselves.
00:31:40You could feel the lust of murder like a wind stinging your eyes, and you could smell the death reekin'
00:31:48up out of the sea.
00:31:50I never saw anything worse, until this little picnic tonight.
00:31:56And you know, there wasn't one of them sharks in the whole crazy pack that survived.
00:32:05I believe in you now.
00:32:13George, that's the first time anyone ever thought enough of you to call you a shark.
00:32:20If you were a good liar, you'd be flattered.
00:32:43Where's Mrs. Bannister?
00:32:44I'm sure I don't know, sir.
00:32:47She adores it here in Acapulco.
00:32:49So do I, but...
00:32:50Yeah, it's nice and quaint.
00:32:51But what I want to know is, when are we going to get back to Frisco?
00:32:54Mind walkin' with me, fella?
00:32:55I know all the best places.
00:32:57You might enjoy it.
00:32:58I want to make you a proposition.
00:33:13Beautiful, isn't it?
00:33:15The beach, you mean, or the tourists?
00:33:17Everything.
00:33:18That is a fair face to the land, surely, but you can't hide the hunger and guilt.
00:33:23It's a bright, guilty world.
00:33:39What's your guess, Michael?
00:33:41Think the world's coming to an end?
00:33:43There was a start to the world sometimes, so I guess there'd be a stop.
00:33:52It's coming, you know.
00:33:53Hmm?
00:33:55Oh, yeah.
00:33:56Got to come.
00:34:00First the big cities.
00:34:03Then maybe even this.
00:34:06It's just got to come.
00:34:08I'd prefer to be somewhere else than it does.
00:34:11I will be.
00:34:13That's what I need you for, Michael.
00:34:15To see to it that I'm not around.
00:34:17How'd you like $5,000?
00:34:19What?
00:34:20That's what I said.
00:34:21$5,000, fella.
00:34:24And what do I have to do for it?
00:34:26I'll fill in the details later.
00:34:28Meanwhile, think it over, Michael.
00:34:31It's $5,000.
00:34:34It's yours.
00:34:35All you have to do is kill somebody.
00:34:37But who, Mr. Grisby?
00:34:39I'm reticular who I murdered.
00:34:44Good boy!
00:34:49You know, I wouldn't like to kill just anybody.
00:34:53Is it someone I know?
00:34:55Oh, oh, yeah.
00:34:57But you'll never guess.
00:34:59I give up.
00:35:00It's me.
00:35:02I'm perfectly sober, Michael.
00:35:04I'm willing to pay $5,000 if the job is well done.
00:35:08This is a straightforward business proposition.
00:35:12I want you to kill me.
00:35:15So long, fella.
00:35:27Elsa!
00:35:29Elsa!
00:35:46Michael.
00:35:47Yes?
00:35:50You talked to George yesterday.
00:35:52I did.
00:35:54Did he say anything about us?
00:35:56He's afraid the world's going to explode.
00:35:58He talks about suicide.
00:36:11I've thought of that sometimes.
00:36:13Suicide?
00:36:15Do you think it's wrong, Michael?
00:36:18I don't know.
00:36:20Would you kill yourself if you had to?
00:36:24I don't know.
00:36:29I've looked at those pills so many times.
00:36:31Pills?
00:36:32The ones my husband takes to kill the pain.
00:36:36And wondered if enough of them would kill my pain.
00:36:39The pain of just being alive?
00:36:42Mr. Grisby wants to be cured of that pain.
00:36:44He wants me to cure him.
00:36:46Mr. Grisby wants me to kill Mr. Grisby.
00:36:50I'm sure he's out of his mind.
00:36:52He's not sane.
00:36:54Neither is Arthur.
00:36:55Your husband can take care of himself.
00:36:59What do you want?
00:37:00Beautiful moon.
00:37:02Nice night for it, ain't it, Mr. O'Hara?
00:37:08You didn't answer me, Mr. O'Hara.
00:37:10You ought to speak when you're spoken to.
00:37:12I'd hate to have to report you to the lady's husband.
00:37:15I said it's a nice night for it.
00:37:43I wish you cared to dance with me.
00:37:53Stop crying.
00:37:55I can't stand for you to cry.
00:37:57You know what Brume's been doing.
00:37:59Spying.
00:38:00Spying on you.
00:38:02I'm sure I'm going to take you where there aren't any spies.
00:38:05Michael, where?
00:38:07A long way off.
00:38:08Some one of the far places.
00:38:10Far place?
00:38:11We're in one of them now.
00:38:13Running away doesn't work.
00:38:14I tried it.
00:38:18Everything's bad, Michael.
00:38:20Everything.
00:38:22You can't escape it or fight it.
00:38:24You've got to get along with it.
00:38:25Deal with it.
00:38:26Make terms.
00:38:28You're such a foolish nighter, Michael.
00:38:31You're big and strong, but you just don't know how to take care of yourself.
00:38:35Well, so how could you take care of me?
00:38:39Mike.
00:38:40Mike.
00:38:41Hey, Mike.
00:38:42If you'll pardon me this intrusion, there's a couple of police officers out here.
00:38:46Of course.
00:38:49I don't speak their language, see.
00:38:51And they wants me to identify this guy.
00:38:54What's the Spanish for drunken bum?
00:39:01It was early October when we made San Francisco and dropped anchor across the bay from the city in Sausalito.
00:39:10It had been a most interesting cruise.
00:39:13All very rich and rare and strange.
00:39:16But I had had no stomach for it.
00:39:19To begin with, living on a hook takes away your appetite.
00:39:24You've no taste for any pleasure at all but the one that's burning in you.
00:39:27But even without an appetite, I had learned it's quite amazing how much a fool like me can swallow.
00:39:35Please, Michael, be careful.
00:39:40The car's down there.
00:39:43Mr. Bannister's waiting to take you into the city.
00:39:46To San Francisco.
00:39:47But you're not going with him.
00:39:50You're going with me.
00:39:54Michael.
00:39:56You think I can't take care of you.
00:39:58You think I'd be after running off you to a desert island to eat berries and goat's milk.
00:40:02And I'd have to take in washing to support you.
00:40:05Hello, kiddies.
00:40:07There's George.
00:40:10How would you say to $5,000 to get us started?
00:40:14We've got a date with a couple of beers, fella.
00:40:18Arthur was asking for you.
00:40:20He wondered where you'd gone.
00:40:25I won't tell him.
00:40:29I didn't answer my question.
00:40:31$5,000.
00:40:32Goodbye, Michael.
00:40:34Couldn't we start on that?
00:40:38Would you have to take in washing on $5,000?
00:40:40$5,000.
00:41:00Sit down.
00:41:03i suppose you're wondering what's behind my little proposition none of your business actually but
00:41:09since we're what you might call partners in crime i might as well tell you that the firm of banister

00:45:51about money you didn't sound like like you you're not going to try anything foolish are you i'm afraid
00:45:59so something very foolish indeed
00:46:06i michael o'hara in order to live in peace with my god to freely make the following confession
00:46:12the last part that explains the whole of it we arrived at the boat landing at approximately 10 20
00:46:22mr grisby said he heard a sound something suspicious he said he was frightened of a hold
00:46:27up and asked me to get the gun out of the side pocket of the car just in case i
00:46:31reached in and got
00:46:31the gun but i had hardly taken hold of it when the gun went off by accident in my hand
00:46:35then i saw that mr grisby was all covered of blood
00:46:41it took me a minute to realize that mr grisby was dead to realize that i michael o'hara had
00:46:46killed him
00:46:49but i don't understand michael
00:46:53what were you doing with george and sausalito says mr grisby wants to spend the night on the yacht
00:46:57and asked me to drive him there that's what i killed him
00:47:02you see with the rough tide there isn't the bay they wouldn't recover the body if there was one
00:47:09you don't understand darling he isn't dead yet grisby's alive he won't be murdered till tonight
00:47:16is that foolish enough for you my husband wrote that thing and got you to sign it for him
00:47:21it's one of those famous banister tricks no it's grisby's idea it seems it seems mr grisby
00:47:28wants to disappear and this is a scheme of his to get himself declared dead
00:47:34there's more to it than that michael i don't know what but there's more it's a trap of some kind
00:47:43you meet george tonight just as he arranged go with him to sausalito and do whatever crazy
00:47:49nonsense he asks you to do as long as nobody gets hurt it won't matter don't let him out of
00:47:54your
00:47:54sight maybe george isn't as big a fool as he seems to be but i'll swear my husband's behind this

00:56:11ask myself i
00:56:12don't know what to do but that's how i got into it that's how i got into it that's how
00:56:14i got into it
00:56:14the wrong man was arrested the wrong man was shot
00:56:18grisby was dead and so was broom
00:56:21and what about banister
00:56:24he was going to defend me in a trial for my life
00:56:28and me charged with a couple of murders i did not commit
00:56:32in a trial for my marriage either me or the rest of the whole world is absolutely insane
00:56:42you know my associate mr seeley dear he's arranged for your pass into the jail it's right here in the
00:56:47building you want him to take you i'd rather go by myself all right city i'll join you in the
00:56:52office
00:56:52okay mr bannister excuse me mrs bannister
00:56:58so you want to be alone with michael it was your idea good morning bannister good morning judge that
00:57:04boy of yours still in the hospital at home since tuesday well that's fine judge wasn't what's that
00:57:09lover oh i beg your pardon wasn't it your idea isn't it your idea to save michael from the gas
00:57:15chamber
00:57:16dorthy bannister is the only one who can do it what do you think hello galloway hi bannister how's
00:57:22tricks you know our district attorney dear how do you do mrs bannister oh fassbender i was the
00:57:27murdered man's partner the other victim was my servant if i defend michael any jury is going to
00:57:32figure i have reason to believe that he's innocent and you have reason to believe that michael is innocent
00:57:44i uh i heard that galloway is going to say that michael took george's corpse into the city in our
00:57:51speedboat but he didn't we can prove prove george couldn't have taken it why not well how could he
00:57:55get back back where the yacht naturally the speedboat couldn't have driven itself or maybe it was george's
00:58:02ghost maybe the boat just drifted back now lover michael has got to plead excusable homicide but you
00:58:09can prove he didn't do it with his gun they already know it wasn't michael's gun that killed george
00:58:14the gun that did kill george can't be found lover so we can't prove that michael didn't shoot him
00:58:20and it was michael's gun that killed broom
00:58:26now michael is going to need everything that the greatest uh living trial lawyer can do for him
00:58:33our good district attorney over there has worked up a beautiful case
00:58:37the truck driver the fat saloon keeper down at the docks there'll be effective witnesses and he'll
00:58:42know how to handle them and then there's this uh crazy confession but michael has an explanation
00:58:51explanation explanation you think it's funny funny you mean that story about how george hired michael
00:58:57to kill george to pretend to kill him really why would george want to disappear michael said
00:59:05something about partnership insurance what partnership which he george wanted to collect yes and he george
00:59:12wanted everybody to think he was dead dead so that he could collect the insurance yes
00:59:21well if he was dead how could he collect no lover if your irishman doesn't want to go to the
00:59:29gas
00:59:29chamber he's going to have to trust me but you do you trust him
00:59:37i wouldn't trust him with my wife
00:59:41you want to make sure he doesn't get off don't you
00:59:45i've never lost a case remember
00:59:50besides
01:00:00my wife might think he was a martyr
01:00:04i've got to defend him i haven't any choice
01:00:11neither have you
01:00:24it looks bad for me isn't that what your husband says
01:00:29whatever else he is arthur's a marvelous lawyer
01:00:32you've got to trust him why why should i trust because it's your only chance
01:00:39because i want you to
01:00:42i love to do for a reason michael
01:00:46why did you kill broom what don't be afraid to tell me please i just want to know
01:00:51sure it was grisby killed broom was him who's going to murder your husband
01:00:54george kill arthur you know that what could he possibly gain from it well for one thing he
01:00:58couldn't get a divorce yes that was the chief reason grisby wanted people to think he was dead
01:01:01so he could get away from his wife wife but that's impossible why
01:01:07george didn't have a wife he wasn't married
01:01:23so
01:01:28mrs bannister hay i saved a seat for you
01:01:31would you gentlemen please move over
01:01:37oh i just wanted to look at her
01:01:39sit down
01:01:41question calls for the operation of the officer's mind
01:01:46sustain very well in the interest of saving time we'll proceed
01:01:50as i'm sure officer peters is most anxious to go home to his wife and family before returning
01:01:56to duty now then officer peters except for the blood the clothes were dry yes sir they were dry
01:02:02yet the defendant stated in his confession that he threw the body into the bed your honor
01:02:06the district attorney isn't cross-examining he's making speeches that simply isn't so i move
01:02:11for the declaration of mistrial grounds that the jury has been prejudiced these are some of the great
01:02:17bannister's trial tactics in appeal for the district attorney is beginning to get vicious
01:02:22when you two gentlemen get over your argument when you two gentlemen get over your argument tell me who won
01:02:26then i'll decide on the objection
01:02:30objection
01:02:31objection sustained

01:03:28but i'm confident that my client will make no objection
01:03:32hey galloway can't make bannister testify against his own client
01:03:40i wouldn't take this step if there were any more effective means of establishing the evidence i
01:03:44wish to bring forward with my client's express permission mr bannister will take the stand
01:03:53i've never seen anything like that before i always thought he was smart

01:05:06and everything put away in readiness for an immediate departure
01:05:09yes well in your experience as an attorney would this not indicate premeditation
01:05:14the district attorney is again making speeches
01:05:16premeditation and plan
01:05:18making speeches and drawing conclusions

01:19:14The police.
01:19:20Put your arms around me.
01:19:49Don't move.
01:19:58Don't you move.
01:20:00I told you not to move.
01:20:02I mean it.
01:20:04I found the gun.
01:20:05You killed Grisby, yes.
01:20:09You're the killer.
01:20:27I was right.
01:20:29She was the killer.
01:20:31She killed Grisby.
01:20:32Now she was going to kill me.
01:20:34Her servant Lee and his friend smuggled me out in the darkness and hid me where I'd be safe from
01:20:39the cops.
01:20:40Not safe from her.
01:20:41One of the Chinese worked in an amusement park.
01:20:43It was closed for the season.
01:20:45An empty amusement park makes a good hideout.
01:20:47And she wanted me hidden.
01:20:52Well, I came to in the crazy house.
01:20:59And for a while there, I thought it was me that was crazy.
01:21:04After what I'd been through, anything crazy at all seemed natural.
01:21:10But now, I was saying on one subject, her, I knew about her.
01:21:17She planned to kill Bannister.
01:21:20She and Grisby.
01:21:21Grisby was to do it for a share of Bannister's money.
01:21:24That's what Grisby thought.
01:21:26But, of course, she meant to kill Grisby, too, after he'd served his purpose.
01:21:30Poor, howling idiot.
01:21:32He never even did that.
01:21:33He went and shot Broom.
01:21:35And that was not part of the plan.
01:21:37Broom might have got to the police before he died.
01:21:40And if the cops traced it to Grisby, and the cops made Grisby talk, he'd spill everything.
01:21:47And she'd be finished.
01:21:48So she had to shut up Grisby, but quick.
01:21:52And I was the fault of that.
01:21:54And I was the fault of that.
01:22:30In here, we're less likely to be killed.
01:22:33I was thinking it was only your husband you ought to secure.
01:22:35Why don't you try to understand?
01:22:38George was supposed to take care of Arthur, but he lost his silly head and shot Broom.
01:22:45After that, I knew I couldn't trust him.
01:22:49He was mad.
01:22:51He had to be shot.
01:22:52And what about me?
01:22:54Oh, we could have gone off together.
01:22:56Into the sunrise, you and me, or you and Grisby?
01:23:02I love you.
01:23:03One who follows his nature keeps his original nature in the end.
01:23:09But haven't you heard ever of something better to follow?
01:23:16No.
01:23:23I knew I'd find you two together.
01:23:25If I hadn't held, sir, I might have gone on playing it your way.
01:23:29You didn't know that, but you did plan for me to follow you.
01:23:32You've been drinking.
01:23:42You've been drinking.
01:24:02It's difficult to tell.
01:24:03You are aiming at me, aren't you?
01:24:06I'm aiming at you, lover.
01:24:09Of course, killing you is killing myself.
01:24:12It's the same thing.
01:24:15But, you know, I'm pretty tired of both of us.
01:24:42You know, for a smart girl, you make a lot of mistakes.
01:24:45You should have let me live.
01:24:49You're gonna need a good lawyer.
01:24:59He... and George...
01:25:05and not me.
01:25:07Like the sharks, mad with their own blood,
01:25:11chewing away at their own selves.
01:25:15It's true.
01:25:20I made a lot of mistakes.
01:25:23You said the world's bad.
01:25:25We can't run away from the badness.
01:25:27And you're right there.
01:25:28But you said we can't fight it.
01:25:29We must deal with the badness, make terms.
01:25:33And didn't the badness deal with you?
01:25:35And make its own terms in the end, surely?
01:25:38You can fight.
01:25:40But what good is it?
01:25:44Goodbye.
01:25:46You mean we can't win?
01:25:48No, we can't win.
01:25:52Give my love to the sunrise.
01:25:55Well, we can't lose, either.
01:25:57Only if we quit.
01:25:59And you're not going to?
01:26:01Not again.
01:26:02Michael.
01:26:04Oh, Michael.
01:26:08I'm afraid.
01:26:12Michael.
01:26:15Come back here.
01:26:17Michael.
01:26:19Please.
01:26:22I don't wanna die.
01:26:23I...
01:26:25I don't wanna die!
01:26:34I went to call the cops, but I knew she'd be dead before they got there.
01:26:39And I'd be free.
01:26:41Maybe Bannister's note to the DA'd fix it.
01:26:44I'd be innocent, officially.
01:26:46But that's a big word.
01:26:48Innocent.
01:26:49Stupid's more like it.
01:26:52Well...
01:26:53Everybody is somebody's fool.
01:26:56The only way to stay out of trouble is to grow old, so I guess I'll concentrate on that.
01:27:01Maybe I'll live so long that I'll forget her.
01:27:07Maybe I'll die, Brian.
