00:01:04THIS HAPPENED LAST YEAR, ABOUT A WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS.
00:01:07THE HARPER FAMILY LIVED IN A CHARMING COMMUNITY CALLED BALBOA, ABOUT 50 MILES FROM LOS ANGELES.
00:01:15EARLY ONE MORNING, MRS. HARPER TOOK HER CAR AND DROVE TO LOS ANGELES, AND...
00:01:22MOTHER, MOTHER, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

00:02:24IF THERE'S ANY CALLS, YOU KNOW...
00:02:25OH, EXCUSE ME, HONEY.
00:02:27YOU KNOW WHERE YOU CAN REACH ME.
00:02:28OKAY, I'LL TELL HER.
00:02:29MR. DAOBBY WANTS YOU TO WAIT FOR HIM IN THE BAR.
00:02:32THE BAR?
00:02:37EVERY TIME WE GET A NEW SINGER, JOE IS...
00:02:39THIS TELEVATION IS A BIG THING.
00:02:41IT TOOK ME FOR 50 LAST NIGHT.
00:02:43I DON'T THINK THE GAME WAS ON THE LEVEL.
00:02:55TOO EARLY TO SERVE ANYTHING YET, MISS.
00:02:57THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
00:02:59WON'T BE LONG. TEN MINUTES.
00:03:06HE'S HONEST.
00:03:07GOOD MORNING.
00:03:10GOOD MORNING.
00:03:11GOOD MORNING.
00:03:12BOT.
00:03:12IN THE BAR.
00:03:13GOOD MORNING.
00:03:24GOOD MORNING.
00:03:24MRS. HARPER?
00:03:25YES.
00:03:25THAT DOBBY?
00:03:26PETER?
00:03:29SO YOU'RE BE'S MOTHER?
00:03:30YES, I AM, MR. DAWLEY.
00:03:31I never realized she had such a young mother.
00:03:35It's quite a resemblance.
00:03:39I'm sorry, I can't offer you a drink yet.
00:03:40I didn't come to make a social call, Mr. Darby.
00:03:42What I have to say won't take a minute.
00:03:44As you please.
00:03:44I don't want you to see my daughter again.
00:03:47Isn't that something for Bea to decide?
00:03:48I don't think so.
00:03:49She's only a child.
00:03:50Only 17.
00:03:5118, that's smart.
00:03:52Only 17, Mr. Darby.
00:03:53And it's plain to see she's not old enough to know what's good for her.
00:03:56Mrs. Harper, there's no harm.
00:03:58Bea likes to get around, meet interesting people.
00:04:00Oh, I can do that for her.
00:04:02She can get along very nicely without you.
00:04:03You're not the kind of person I want Bea to see.
00:04:05I hope you're not judging by my temporary surroundings, Mrs. Harper.
00:04:08My apartment...
00:04:09I know the kind of man you are, Mr. Darby.
00:04:11I've gone to the trouble to find out.
00:04:13How does Bea feel about all this?
00:04:15I haven't discussed it with her and I don't intend to
00:04:17because you're going to stop seeing her.
00:04:19I am?
00:04:20Yes, and there's nothing I won't do to stop it.
00:04:23Maybe we should talk this over.
00:04:25There's nothing to talk over.
00:04:26Yes, there is.
00:04:27You've been pretty frank and I'm going to be the same.
00:04:31I didn't know how strongly you felt about my seeing Bea,
00:04:34and now that I do, I want to cooperate.
00:04:36I want to help you.
00:04:37I think with a little common sense,
00:04:38we can get this all straightened out.
00:04:40Straightened out.
00:04:41Just how important is it to you that I don't see her anymore?
00:04:44It's very important.
00:04:44I mean, as far as money is concerned.
00:04:47Otherwise, I couldn't possibly promise not to see her again, Mrs. Harper.
00:04:51You won't have to, Mr. Darby.
00:04:53You've made it very simple for me.
00:04:54I can discuss it with her now,
00:04:56and I'll have nothing to worry about
00:04:57when she hears how deeply you feel about her.
00:04:59Goodbye, Mr. Darby.
00:05:19Operator, get me Balboa.
00:05:22Harbour 2626.
00:05:24It's Beatrice Harbour, please.
00:05:35Hey, Mother, how come you went up to Los Angeles this morning
00:05:38and didn't tell any of us?
00:05:39I had some things to attend to.
00:05:41I'm going to put on a new bumper, Mother.
00:05:43I think you're too late.
00:05:44Put on your shirt, David.
00:05:45Okay.
00:05:50Hello, Father.
00:05:53How's everything?
00:05:54Why didn't you tell us you were going to L.A. this morning?
00:05:56I, uh, uh, wanted to get to the store before the crowd.
00:06:01Sybil, will you turn that vacuum cleaner off?
00:06:02I can't hear the race results.
00:06:04I don't know why you want to hear of Mr. Harbour.
00:06:06Hello, Mrs. Harbour.
00:06:07Come on, Sybil.
00:06:07You never win anyhow.
00:06:09Sybil, where's Bea?
00:06:10She hasn't talked to anyone all afternoon.
00:06:12She's in your room, Mrs. Harbour.
00:06:13You's in your shower again.
00:06:19Is that you, Mother?
00:06:20Yes, Bea?
00:06:22When you're through your shower, I'd like to talk to you.
00:06:25I know.
00:06:26What do you mean, you know?
00:06:29Mother, how could you humiliate me so terribly by going to see Ted?
00:06:33Well, it was a little humiliating for me, too.
00:06:35I'm not used to dealing with people of his kind.
00:06:37Do you know what kind of a man he is?
00:06:39Yes, I know.
00:06:40But you're going to tell me that he's a low, vile character.
00:06:43He is.
00:06:43That he lives in a horrible, dirty hotel.
00:06:45When Ted called, he told me that's about what you'd say.
00:06:48Now, wait a minute.
00:06:49I said, wait, Bea.
00:06:51And did your friend, Mr. Darby, also tell you he was perfectly willing not to see you again,
00:06:54providing I made it worth his while financially?
00:06:57I don't believe it.
00:06:59You don't think I'd make up a thing like that, do you?
00:07:01Ted said you made such a scene.
00:07:03He said you got all upset and excited.
00:07:05You might have misunderstood.
00:07:07I didn't misunderstand anything.
00:07:09He made his intentions perfectly clear.
00:07:12Mother, you think you understand people.
00:07:14But you really are terribly old-fashioned.
00:07:16You couldn't possibly understand a man like Ted.
00:07:19I wouldn't want to.
00:07:20Sybil, did you do my blouse yet?
00:07:22I haven't been able to get to it yet, Bea.
00:07:24Well, I asked you a whole hour ago.
00:07:26Bea, you'll not talk like that to Sybil.
00:07:30Sybil, you don't have to go to the downstairs today.
00:07:34Bea, let's not lose our tempers.
00:07:36Let's be reasonable.
00:07:37That man is the most important.
00:07:38I don't care to discuss it anymore.
00:07:40It's not a question of whether you care to discuss it.
00:07:42You're not to see that man again.
00:07:43You must give me your promise you won't see him again.
00:07:47I can't promise that, Mother.
00:07:48No?
00:07:49Then you're not going back to Los Angeles.
00:07:51I'll take you out of art school.
00:07:54You wouldn't do such a thing.
00:07:55I just did.
00:07:58Well, that won't keep us apart.
00:08:00We'll see each other somehow.
00:08:03Oh, Bea, stop acting.
00:08:05You're not to see him again.
00:08:06That's fine.
00:08:06Now, get dressed and pick up your clothes.
00:08:10Mother, can't you trust me?
00:08:13I'm not having a nasty love affair with him, if that's what you think.
00:08:17Bea, I've been stupid and indulgent.
00:08:19Your father wanted you to go to college,
00:08:20and I took your side and persuaded him to let you go to art school,
00:08:23which he felt was wrong,
00:08:24because of the freedom and the people you'd be exposed to.
00:08:26I mistakenly thought you were right thinking enough
00:08:28to be discriminating about the friends you chose.
00:08:30Well, he was right, and I was wrong.
00:08:32You never would have met Darby if we'd listened to him.
00:08:35Now, I know it's difficult for you to understand,
00:08:37because you're still a child.
00:08:39I probably would have felt the same way at your age.
00:08:41The difference is that when you're 17 today,
00:08:44you know what the score is.
00:08:46You're not a child anymore.
00:08:47Bea, I'm not going to sit here all day
00:08:49and go over the same thing again and again.
00:08:51You're not going to do that.
00:08:52You're not going to see that.
00:08:54You're not going to see that.
00:08:55Philadelphia, Chloe.
00:08:56That's your father.
00:08:59How's it going with you, son?
00:09:01What?
00:09:02You like Tom.
00:09:03Wonderful.
00:09:04Can I talk to him, Grandpa?
00:09:06Wait a minute, Tom.
00:09:06Here's David.
00:09:08Hi, Dad.
00:09:10Swell.
00:09:11Huh?
00:09:11You ought to see it.
00:09:12It's almost a car now.
00:09:13Let me talk to him, David.
00:09:14Hold it.
00:09:15He's in Philadelphia.
00:09:17He's telling me all about his car.
00:09:19Tom.
00:09:20How are you, dear?
00:09:22I'm fine.
00:09:24We're all fine.
00:09:25Yeah.
00:09:26There's just one little problem.
00:09:28Bea wants a blue Christmas tree for Christmas
00:09:30and the rest of us are holding out for a green one.
00:09:33How do you vote?
00:09:35What?
00:09:35You won't be here?
00:09:36Berlin?
00:09:38Oh, Tom, you can't be away for Christmas.
00:09:41I don't care, Tom.
00:09:43They've done without that bridge over there for four years.
00:09:45I should think they could do without it for another two weeks.
00:09:47Oh, I'm sorry.
00:09:48I know it's what we've wanted.
00:09:49It's wonderful, Tom.
00:09:51Wonderful.
00:09:51It has been ordered to Berlin.
00:09:52Yeah, she's here.
00:09:53Wait a minute.
00:09:54Here, dear.
00:09:55David just told me.
00:09:57Oh, we're going to miss you.
00:10:00Yes, I'm fine.
00:10:02Art school?
00:10:04Oh, well, I'm getting along beautifully.
00:10:08Owen.
00:10:09Oh, I haven't seen it.
00:10:10Well, I haven't seen anyone lately.
00:10:11I've been too busy.
00:10:13Mother wants to talk to you.
00:10:15Hurry home.
00:10:19Tom.
00:10:20Tom?
00:10:20Tom?
00:10:22I think she's taking art school a little too seriously.
00:10:26I'll tell her, dear.
00:10:27And don't worry about anything, darling.
00:10:29We'll all be fine.
00:10:30Goodness, Tom, this isn't anything.
00:10:31You were away three years during the war.
00:10:34Oh, you know I do, Tom.
00:10:37Bye, darling.
00:10:38I'll write tonight.
00:10:43Yes?
00:10:44It's me, Mother.
00:10:45Just a second.
00:10:59Now you can come in.
00:11:05I wanted to say goodnight.
00:11:07Why aren't you wearing your slippers?
00:11:08I'm hardening my feet for track.
00:11:10Night, dear.
00:11:11I'd like to see you once, fully dressed.
00:11:13Writing to Dad so soon?
00:11:15Boy, a grown-up sure can't be goony.
00:11:17You talk to him just this afternoon.
00:11:19I don't get it.
00:11:20Because we're goony.
00:11:21Night, dear.
00:11:22Night.
00:11:34David, you smell like a garage.
00:11:36I take a shower every morning.
00:11:38Yes, but I have to sleep with you every night.
00:12:09It's me, Peter.
00:12:09Oh, God.
00:12:19Hmm.
00:13:28Ted, where are you?
00:13:32Here, in the boathouse.
00:13:34Where are you?
00:13:35In here, Bea.
00:13:37Where?
00:13:37Over here.
00:13:38I can't see you.
00:13:39Here.
00:14:04Bea.
00:14:09When I got home, she made such a scene.
00:14:12She said I had a promise never to see you again.
00:14:16That you weren't interested in me at all.
00:14:18All you wanted was money.
00:14:20But if she paid you, you'd never see me again.
00:14:23That's not true, is it?
00:14:26As a matter of fact, Bea, I am desperate for money.
00:14:31No.
00:14:32What a horrible thing to say.
00:14:34Now look, if your mother does give me the money, that doesn't mean that I won't see you again.
00:14:38No.
00:14:38Let go.
00:14:39Go.
00:14:41But Bea, it doesn't mean that I won't...
00:14:48Bea.
00:14:51You don't understand.
00:15:03Bea.
00:15:13Bea.
00:15:15Bea, where were you?
00:15:16What's the matter?
00:15:16What happened?
00:15:18How did you do?
00:15:19Bea.
00:15:19Bea.
00:15:19Bea, calm down.
00:15:21Come down.
00:15:21Who was it?
00:15:22It was Ted.
00:15:24Mother, you were right.
00:15:25I know.
00:15:26I know.
00:15:26I never should have gone before.
00:15:27All right.
00:15:27All right.
00:15:28Just try to tell me what happened.
00:15:30I was in the boat house.
00:15:31I...
00:15:33All he did want was the money.
00:15:36I hate him.
00:15:37Why, my dear?
00:15:37Where is he now?
00:15:39I don't know.
00:15:40I loved him.
00:15:41You go on upstairs.
00:15:42I'll be up in a minute.
00:15:46Come on.
00:15:46Come on.
00:15:56Come on.
00:15:58Come on.
00:15:59I'll go.
00:15:59Come on.
00:15:59Come on.
00:16:01Come on.
00:16:02Come on.
00:16:02Come on.
00:16:03Come on.
00:16:03Come on.
00:16:04Come on.
00:16:04Come on.
00:16:06Can I help you, Mrs. Harper?
00:16:07No.
00:16:08No, thanks, sir.
00:16:30Oh, my God.
00:16:52I'll let you know.
00:16:54Was he out there?
00:16:55No, he's gone.
00:16:58Oh, Mother, I wish I'd never gone!
00:17:01Don't talk about it anymore, dear. It's over. Come on to bed.
00:17:04Come on, dear.
00:17:09I was so awful. I just couldn't never go through a thing like that again.
00:17:13You won't have to, dear. I promise you.
00:17:25I'll get you a hot water bottle. We'll help you see.
00:17:33What's all the wrongy up and down stairs, Lucia?
00:17:36Nothing, Father. Bea isn't feeling well.
00:17:38I'm a growing boy. I need my rest.
00:17:40Go back to bed, David. I said go back to bed.
00:17:52Mother, can I have a piece of chocolate cake?
00:17:55Good night, David.
00:18:03Good morning, Mrs. Harper.
00:18:06Good morning, Sybil.
00:18:07You were up awful early this morning.
00:18:09I couldn't sleep.
00:18:11Can I fix you some breakfast?
00:18:13No, thanks, Sybil. You go back to bed. I'm going for a walk.
00:18:16Yes, sir.
00:18:34It's time for many hours.
00:18:35Good night.
00:18:36Good night.
00:18:38Good night.
00:18:43Good night.
00:23:29Mother, you shouldn't have gone out in the boat.
00:23:32Why not?
00:23:33I haven't put in the new spark plugs yet, which incidentally I bought with my own money and you owe
00:23:38me 50 cents for.
00:23:38I'll pay you back.
00:23:40I'll pay you back.
00:23:40Roll down your pants and button your jacket, David.
00:23:44You might have got stuck out there.
00:23:46Well, I didn't, so don't worry about it.
00:23:49I think I'll put those plugs in the car, I think I'll put those plugs in right now.
00:24:18No one wants to get up in the car.
00:24:21I want to add something to that shopping list we made last night.
00:24:26I have it right here.
00:24:29Well, I had it.
00:24:30I know.
00:24:31You put it in your pocket so you wouldn't forget it like the last time.
00:24:34I know.
00:24:34Mother, was the anchor in the boat this morning?
00:24:37I don't know.
00:24:38Somebody swiped it.
00:24:39Who's stealing the anchor?
00:24:40I don't know, but it was in the boat yesterday.
00:24:42If Mother didn't see it this morning...
00:24:43Never mind, David.
00:24:44We'll get a new one.
00:24:46Bea.
00:24:47Yes, Mother.
00:24:47Good morning.
00:24:48Bea, I want to talk to you a minute.
00:24:50David and Grandpa, they don't know about...
00:24:51Oh, dear, that's what I want to talk to you about.
00:24:53Bea, did you ever tell anyone you were going with Ted Darby?
00:24:57No.
00:24:58Good.
00:24:58I ever could have been fooled by that...
00:25:00That long, vile...
00:25:01Stop it, Bea.
00:25:02I know how you feel, but you mustn't talk against him or about him to anyone.
00:25:06You mustn't even mention his name.
00:25:08Do you understand?
00:25:09Oh, I'd rather die than have anyone know I ever knew him.
00:25:11Bea, is there anything about last night that you haven't told me?
00:25:16No.
00:25:17No, there's nothing.
00:25:18You're sure?
00:25:20Yes.
00:25:21Go down to breakfast, dear your lady.
00:25:23Well, aren't you coming?
00:25:24I'll be right down.
00:25:29Well, you sure.
00:25:30You know, we must make a point of seeing a lot of each other during the holidays.
00:25:33Mrs. Feller.
00:25:34What?
00:25:34We'll try.
00:25:35Owen will be home from school tomorrow, and I know he'll be dying to see Beatrice.
00:25:38We'll do that, Catherine.
00:25:39We can't ship it like this.
00:25:40Beatrice is always like, though.
00:25:41Oh, well, Owen is always like...
00:25:42Well, what's the matter with it?
00:25:44I did the best I could.
00:25:45You might have done the best you could, Mrs. Feller, but the best is none too good.
00:25:48All I want from this post office is delivery, not philosophy.
00:25:51Take a look.
00:25:52A little excitement.
00:25:53Lucia, doesn't it look all right to you?
00:25:54Oh, I think he'd know, Catherine.
00:25:55Find some cord on that table by the window.
00:25:57What happened?
00:25:58Max, our dealer murdered in Balboa.
00:26:00Well, what do you know?
00:26:02A murder.
00:26:03Three cents stamp, please.
00:26:04Sure, there you are.
00:26:04Murder, eh?
00:26:05Where?
00:26:06Right over on the other side of the highway.
00:26:08And a murder right here in Balboa.
00:26:09Next.
00:26:10Who was the guy, anyway?
00:26:11Some character by the name of Darby.
00:26:13What do you want of this letter?
00:26:14What?
00:26:14Oh, it's going to Berlin.
00:26:16How much would be?
00:26:16I'll have to win.
00:26:17Does this post office furnish scotch tape?
00:26:20Do they, do they say who did it?
00:26:22No, but they've got some ideas.
00:26:23They know all about that Darby.
00:26:25Hey, here's your change.
00:26:27Give me, give me one, please, Bob.
00:26:28Here you are, Mrs. Harper.
00:26:29Thanks.
00:26:30Sure is a nice tree you got there.
00:26:31Guess you're all set for Christmas now.
00:26:33What'd you say?
00:26:34I said, guess you're all set for Christmas.
00:26:36Yes.
00:26:36Yes.
00:27:00Sybil, the tree is on the car.
00:27:03Would you ask David or Mr. Harper to bring it in, please?
00:27:06Yes, um, uh, there's a gentleman been waiting.
00:27:08Who?
00:27:09Uh, uh, Mr. Donnelly.
00:27:13Donnelly.
00:27:25Yes?
00:27:28I'm waiting for Mrs. Harper.
00:27:30I'm Mrs. Harper.
00:27:37My name is Donnelly, Martin Donnelly.
00:27:39I'd like a few words with you.
00:27:40Yes, what about?
00:27:46Do you mind?
00:27:48Do you mind?
00:28:07You'll be wanting these, Mrs. Harper.
00:28:09What are they?
00:28:12Writings.
00:28:13I don't know what you're talking about.
00:28:16These are letters which your daughter wrote to the late Ted Darby.
00:28:21The price is $5,000 cash.
00:28:24Ted, darling, I just wasn't alive until I met you.
00:28:29But you came like a fresh wind blowing through my stuffy room.
00:28:33I don't know, Ted, if I can make up my mind to do what you asked yesterday.
00:28:37I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to leave, Mr. Donnelly.
00:28:42Would you like me to call the police?
00:28:44I wouldn't do that if I were you, Mrs. Harper.
00:28:47But just the fact that you did ask,
00:28:50and that you thought I had the courage to take such a chance,
00:28:52makes me feel proud.
00:28:55Ted, I'm thinking about it.
00:28:57I'm not sentimental, you know that,
00:28:59but just the same, it is hard to break entirely with the past.
00:29:02Hi, Mother.
00:29:03David!
00:29:05I got trunks on.
00:29:06Hi.
00:29:07This is my son, David, Mr. Donnelly.
00:29:09Well, hi.
00:29:10I learned a new song today.
00:29:11Want me to play it?
00:29:12Some other time, David.
00:29:13I'm busy.
00:29:14All right.
00:29:16Mother has no appreciation for music.
00:29:19Hey, Mother, you read about the murder?
00:29:21Yes, David.
00:29:22Oh, glamour girl,
00:29:23at last there's some excitement for you.
00:29:25A guy got bumped off right near here.
00:29:27Excuse me a minute.
00:29:28Who?
00:29:29Who was it?
00:29:29XR dealer, Ted Therapy.
00:29:31Give me that.
00:29:31What are you doing?
00:29:32Cut it out.
00:29:33Let me have it.
00:29:33Let me get it out of here.
00:29:34Hey, no.
00:29:35Dee, stop it.
00:29:37Now she'll call all her arty friends in L.A. and tell them it happened in her own backyard.
00:29:53If we're not to be interrupted again, I would continue.
00:29:55You don't have to continue.
00:29:57Because those letters don't mean a thing.
00:29:59She's only a child.
00:30:00They don't mean anything.
00:30:02Mrs. Happer, you don't seem to understand.
00:30:04The man these letters were written to has been murdered.
00:30:08The police would be greatly interested.
00:30:10Ted Deary sang frantic.
00:30:12The other day, I started to talk to Mother about you.
00:30:15And it was just awful.
00:30:16She wouldn't understand.
00:30:18How did you get these?
00:30:20Mr. Abbey wanted to borrow some money from us.
00:30:23I didn't think the letters were worth anything.
00:30:25But there was not much else the man had to offer us.
00:30:27We took them off him until he was ready to pay us back.
00:30:30Sort of collateral, you know?
00:30:32Well, you might say it was a bit of luck for us.
00:30:34He's getting murdered like that.
00:30:36Because now the letters will realize much more than we lent him.
00:30:39As Mr. Nagle would say, we want to liquidate our stock where the market is high.
00:30:44Mr. Nagle's my partner.
00:30:45He's a good businessman.
00:30:46Lucia!
00:30:47Where do you want me to put it?
00:30:50Oh.
00:30:51This is Mr. Donnelly.
00:30:53He's from Tom's office.
00:30:55Oh, you know my son.
00:30:56Isn't it great about us going to Berlin?
00:30:58How do you do?
00:31:00I'm terribly sorry you can't stay for dinner.
00:31:03Oh, you're not staying for dinner?
00:31:05No.
00:31:05Oh, it's a big mistake.
00:31:07Civil's making beef and kidney pie.
00:31:09But, Father...
00:31:10You're very kind.
00:31:11But I have someone waiting.
00:31:13Uh, are you from Ireland, Mr. Donnelly?
00:31:15I was born there.
00:31:16Then we have something in common.
00:31:18I'm from Boston.
00:31:19Is that right?
00:31:20As long as you can't stay for dinner, the least we can do is give you a drink.
00:31:25Mother, may I talk to you for a minute?
00:31:29Go ahead.
00:31:30I can wait.
00:31:33Mother, it's all about him.
00:31:34Shh, not hippie.
00:31:35Mother, it does such terrible things in the back.
00:31:37It's actually waiting.
00:31:39I can't do it with you.
00:31:42He was in jail, Mother.
00:31:43He was arrested.
00:31:44I know.
00:31:44And that ugly art business.
00:31:45That has nothing to do with you.
00:31:47Please listen to me.
00:31:48Whatever happened to that man.
00:31:49I'm glad he's dead.
00:31:50Don't say that.
00:31:51Don't ever say that.
00:31:53Mother, I...
00:31:53There's something I didn't tell you.
00:31:55B, whatever happened to that man has nothing to do with you.
00:31:59Nobody knows.
00:32:00Just you and I.
00:32:00So please put it out of your mind.
00:32:01Mother, wait a minute.
00:32:03I wrote to him.
00:32:04I wrote a lot.
00:32:06They'll find the letters.
00:32:08No.
00:32:10No, they won't.
00:32:11No one will find anything.
00:32:13I can't, sir.
00:32:13Oh, she's rotten.
00:32:14It's awful.
00:32:15Get ready for dinner, dear.
00:32:16I can't go to dinner.
00:32:17I'll bring you something later.
00:32:19Is that gentleman staying for dinner?
00:32:21No, and I hope Father doesn't ask him again.
00:32:24David, stop it and get dressed for dinner.
00:32:33Oh, yes.
00:32:34Would you, would you have a...
00:32:35Sibyl's almost ready to serve.
00:32:37It is the summertime.
00:32:38The kids have a marvelous land on those little snowbirds.
00:32:39I can't believe that.
00:32:40Yes, yes.
00:32:43I really must be going.
00:32:45Oh, but I haven't had a chance to hear about Tom.
00:32:47Father, I'll tell you all about it later.
00:32:48I'll be seeing you again, Mr. Harper, very likely.
00:32:51Mrs. Harper's going to help me look for a house out here.
00:32:54Good.
00:32:54Tomorrow.
00:32:56Did anyone get the paper?
00:32:57I want to get the results of the fourth race at Tropical Park.
00:33:00Gold Admiral, paid 660.
00:33:03And Mr. Harper, at Caliente Sunday, Rolling Hills in the fifth race to win.
00:33:07Are you sure?
00:33:08I'm sure.
00:33:09Good night, Mr. Harper.
00:33:10Good night.
00:33:11I can't...
00:33:13I can't see you tomorrow.
00:33:16Where shall we meet?
00:33:17You can't come here.
00:33:18I won't have you in my house.
00:33:20I don't have to come back if you're giving her the money now.
00:33:22I... I have to have time to think.
00:33:25Could she get in touch with your husband?
00:33:27No, no.
00:33:28The father-in-law.
00:33:29We haven't got $5,000.
00:33:32You'll think of a way to lay your hands on it.
00:33:34Oh, I'll meet you at the real estate agency tomorrow.
00:33:40It's the one next to the drugstore.
00:33:41Nine o'clock.
00:33:439.30.
00:33:44All right, Mrs. Harper.
00:33:47Good night.
00:33:54V's gone up to her room, Mother, and won't come down.
00:33:56I know.
00:33:57What's been bothering me the last few days, Lucia?
00:33:59The artist is starving her garret tonight.
00:34:02Uh, nice fellow.
00:34:04Was his name O'Donnelly or just plain Donnelly?
00:34:07Donnelly.
00:34:08David, don't take so much butter.
00:34:10Where'd Tom meet him?
00:34:11I don't remember, Father.
00:34:12Tom meets so many people.
00:34:14Is he from Tom's office?
00:34:16I'm not sure.
00:34:17He didn't...
00:34:19What's the matter?
00:34:21I have a headache.
00:34:23David, I told you not to take so much butter.
00:34:28Don't you think you should get up, Lee?
00:34:30Everyone's at breakfast.
00:34:31It's late.
00:34:34I'll be there at breakfast.
00:34:36I'll sit and ask questions.
00:34:40Please, I don't want to go down.
00:34:42Oh, come on, now.
00:34:44Fix your face and take a shower and have breakfast downstairs like everybody else.
00:34:48Oh, I can't.
00:34:52Couldn't I maybe go away somewhere for a while?
00:34:56I don't know, Bea.
00:34:58Where could you go and how would it look you're being away during the holidays?
00:35:01What would David and your grandfather think?
00:35:04If I could go to Lake Tahoe, to Ann Innes, that would be perfectly all right.
00:35:10And I wouldn't think anything.
00:35:12Oh, please, talk to her and see if it's all right.
00:35:17Or maybe...
00:35:39Or maybe...
00:35:51Or maybe...
00:35:51Operator...
00:35:52I want to call Lake Tahoe.
00:35:54Person to person call.
00:35:59My number?
00:36:00Coffee's getting called, Lucia.
00:36:02Oh, never mind, operator.
00:36:28I'll get you.
00:36:36I thought we were supposed to meet at the real estate office.
00:36:39It's past 9.30.
00:36:40I'll be right with you.
00:36:50You've got to eat something before you go out.
00:37:04I can fix that.
00:37:06I didn't even know it had a horn.
00:37:10You've been around cars, haven't you, Mr. Donnelly?
00:37:13I used to handle quite a lot of them when they were hard to get.
00:37:19David, go in and finish your breakfast.
00:37:21Thank you, Mr. Donnelly.
00:37:22The next time the gardener comes, ask him to roll up the hose, please.
00:37:25Excellent.
00:37:25All right, go back in the house.
00:37:30Why'd you come here?
00:37:32We were supposed to meet in the village.
00:37:33I'd like to get this over as fast as I can.
00:37:35Yes.
00:37:36We'll have to move faster.
00:37:37Oh, here they are. I'll back my car out.
00:37:39We'll use mine.
00:37:40But...
00:37:40We'll use mine.
00:37:46We'll use mine.
00:37:47Did you find a way to get the money yet?
00:37:49Please just drive me to the drug store.
00:37:52I have a call to make.
00:37:56It's a call I can't make at the house.
00:38:00I understand.
00:38:21It's bad for your health.
00:38:23What?
00:38:24You smoke too much.
00:38:40It's going to be hard for me to go to Los Angeles and get the money.
00:38:43I...
00:38:43I promised Father and David the car tomorrow.
00:38:46If I want it, there'll be questions.
00:38:49I've been to Los Angeles once this week, but that means more questions.
00:38:53You don't know how...
00:38:55how a family can surround you at times.
00:38:57No, I don't.
00:39:00I have to have time to think.
00:39:01I can't just get the money like... like that.
00:39:11Hi, Miss Harper.
00:39:13Hello, Mike.
00:39:14I thought I was going to hear from you, Miss Harper.
00:39:16What about?
00:39:17I want to get busy on that roof of yours before we get busy.
00:39:20Oh, well, we'll talk about it when Mr. Harper gets home.
00:39:23Okay.
00:39:25You should have taken my car.
00:39:27Turn left here.
00:39:28There's less traffic.
00:39:35This ought to be deserted enough.
00:39:39My son worked here last summer.
00:39:40Worked very hard.
00:39:41You wouldn't know about that, would you?
00:39:44This old hamburger saved $40.
00:39:46At least he earned it.
00:39:50Do you never get away from your family?
00:39:55No.
00:39:59But Edna, Bea wouldn't care where she slept just as long as she was up there.
00:40:03She isn't hard to manage.
00:40:04Bea isn't like that.
00:40:05Edna, I'm the first to appreciate that you're filled up at Christmas,
00:40:08but Bea hasn't been feeling well.
00:40:10No, she isn't sick, but I want to get her away from here.
00:40:14February.
00:40:16No, Edna, you...
00:40:18What?
00:40:19Operator?
00:40:20My three...
00:40:20Hold on, Edna.
00:40:21I have to get some more change.
00:40:22Hold on.
00:40:23Hold on.
00:40:36I need some change.
00:40:37I'm in the middle of a phone conversation.
00:40:40I've got some times.
00:40:45I think I'll need another quarter.
00:41:12Less nicotine, less tobacco, Stan.
00:41:16Nice.
00:41:19Do you sell many of these?
00:41:20Filter holders?
00:41:21Tons of them.
00:41:23Wouldn't it be simpler if you didn't sell the cigarettes?
00:41:26Are you with Mrs. Harper?
00:41:27Yes.
00:41:29These are hers.
00:41:30Oh, thank you.
00:41:32One thing I can't make out.
00:41:33If it's two or three cans of tooth powder.
00:41:35I don't know.
00:41:37I'll make it three.
00:41:38All right.
00:41:39All right.
00:41:42And I'll take one of these.
00:41:44Charge?
00:41:45Well, these are charged.
00:41:46I'll pay for that.
00:41:57Oh, you have a...
00:41:58Hello, Harper.
00:41:59Hello.
00:42:00Did you remember to put my father-in-law's razor blades?
00:42:03Did we?
00:42:05Yes.
00:42:06And here's your change.
00:42:07And three makes a dollar.
00:42:10Are you ready?
00:42:11Yes.
00:42:13Bye, Mrs. Harper.
00:42:15Goodbye, Mr...
00:42:28Cut your wheels.
00:42:29That's it.
00:42:33Well, it's a telephone call successful.
00:42:35Did you arrange anything?
00:42:37I wasn't calling about the money.
00:42:38I have an aunt in Tahoe.
00:42:39I wanted to look after beef for a while.
00:42:42I thought you might have changed your mind about getting in touch with your husband.
00:42:46Will you be doing that?
00:42:48No.
00:42:52I told you I can't do that.
00:42:53Why?
00:42:55It may be weeks before I can reach him.
00:42:57I wouldn't think there was any place that remote.
00:42:59He's traveling.
00:43:00You can cable him on a boat.
00:43:02On a train.
00:43:03What do you expect me to do?
00:43:04Cable thin money?
00:43:05I'm being blackmailed?
00:43:06My husband will get in touch with me as soon as he can.
00:43:09I'm afraid we can't wait that long.
00:43:10Well, I'm afraid you'll have to.
00:43:12I wouldn't even consider trying to raise the money if Bea weren't so...
00:43:15Well, she...
00:43:16If she wouldn't...
00:43:18Well, you...
00:43:18One has to be careful.
00:43:19Children dramatize things so much.
00:43:21In this case, she's justified.
00:43:23That's ridiculous.
00:43:24Her letters mean nothing.
00:43:25You and I, we both know that.
00:43:27Nevertheless, you're anxious that the police can't see them.
00:43:29Only because it would make her feel...
00:43:32There's the police.
00:43:34They'll be looking for the one who killed Derby.
00:43:37Now, if they should see those letters...
00:43:39Wednesday, Mr. Donnelly, please.
00:43:40The banks are closed over the weekend.
00:43:42There's nothing I can do.
00:43:42It's too far off.
00:43:44And the car.
00:43:44I've already told you.
00:43:45I can't take the car to Los Angeles again.
00:43:47It'll make my family wonder.
00:43:48It's just impossible for me to get away so soon again on my own.
00:43:50You're quite a prisoner, aren't you?
00:43:52I don't feel like one.
00:43:53Wednesday, Mr. Donnelly.
00:43:55In the years I've been with Nagel...
00:43:58I've seen him handle blackmail deals.
00:44:01Believe me, Mrs. Harper, it's best that you do this through me.
00:44:04My partner's not always as patient as I am.
00:44:07Partner?
00:44:08I don't believe you have a partner.
00:44:09You're on your own.
00:44:10You might at least have the courage to admit it.
00:44:12No, I'm not on my own.
00:44:15We're all involved with each other one way or another.
00:44:18You have your family.
00:44:19I have my Nagel.
00:44:20How can you say that?
00:44:22You and your Mr. Nagel, if he exists, are just a couple of blackmailers...
00:44:27held together by a common interest in cheating people.
00:44:29I wouldn't try to raise the money.
00:44:30It's just that Bea...
00:44:32It would be such a shock to her.
00:44:34She's lucky to have a mother like you.
00:44:36Everyone has a mother like me.
00:44:37You probably had one too.
00:44:40When shall I come for the money?
00:44:42I'll have to get in touch with you.
00:44:43I'll call you tonight.
00:44:44Don't you understand?
00:44:45You can't call me.
00:44:47I'll do the best I can.
00:44:48I'll try every way.
00:44:50Then I'll send it to you.
00:44:51But just give me until Wednesday.
00:44:52I'll know by then what I can do.
00:44:54I'll see about it.
00:44:57Would you like to have some lunch now?
00:44:59With you?
00:45:00No.
00:45:01It was perfectly safe with me.
00:45:03Just drop me on the other side.
00:45:05How will you get home?
00:45:05Don't worry.
00:45:06I'll manage.
00:45:10There is a needle.
00:45:12I'll give you my word.
00:45:19All right.
00:45:20Thank you very much, Mr. Harper.
00:45:21Thank you very much.
00:45:22Sorry we couldn't help you anymore, Lieutenant.
00:45:24But nobody up at our house ever heard of him.
00:45:26We'll see you again, Mr. Harper.
00:45:27You know, it had me completely fooled.
00:45:29I figured he was killed up in L.A. and then dropped down here.
00:45:31Well, we know it didn't happen that way, Mr. Harper.
00:45:34You mean because you know he was killed with an anchor?
00:45:37Well, that and some other things, yes, Mr. Harper.
00:45:39Do you think he was murdered right here in Balboa, Lieutenant?
00:45:41Well, maybe.
00:45:41All right.
00:45:41Well, if it happens to be that way, Lieutenant,
00:45:43we'll give you all the help we can.
00:45:45You see, when I was a young man in the Army,
00:45:46I was always interested in crime.
00:45:48Thank you very, very much, Mr. Harper.
00:45:50All right.
00:45:50You're welcome.
00:45:50We'll see you again.
00:45:51We'll see you again.
00:45:52Goodbye, Lieutenant.
00:45:53Goodbye, now.
00:45:54Goodbye.
00:45:54Here we go.
00:45:56Cast on.
00:45:58Cast on.
00:46:00Good morning.
00:46:03Good morning.
00:46:08All right.
00:46:09Come on, you kids.
00:46:09You better get on over the boat.
00:46:11It's like it's all over.
00:46:12Come on, now.
00:46:13No lagging behind there.
00:46:14Come on.
00:46:18What are you all doing here?
00:46:20Oh, we had a little excitement.
00:46:21The police just left.
00:46:22You missed it, Mother.
00:46:23The police?
00:46:24Yeah, about that, Darby.
00:46:26Routine questioning.
00:46:27Well, what'd they want to know?
00:46:29Oh, if anyone in the house knew them
00:46:30or had ever heard of them.
00:46:32No, it is rather an odd case.
00:46:34I can't figure what that type of man
00:46:36would have been doing in this neck of the woods.
00:46:37We were grilled.
00:46:38My darling, you shouldn't be here.
00:46:40Go home.
00:46:40And I think the rest of you better go, too.
00:46:42Want to come up to the house?
00:46:43I got some new records.
00:46:44No, go to someone else's house.
00:46:49I like it, Lieutenant.
00:46:51But I'd rather be a fireman.
00:46:52Come on.
00:46:54Why did the police come here, Father?
00:46:56After all, they should know what the man was.
00:46:57Why are they checking private homes?
00:46:59Oh, they seem to believe that he might have been involved
00:47:01with a family in the neighborhood.
00:47:03Why?
00:47:04Well, he was killed with an anchor.
00:47:06How do they know it was an anchor?
00:47:08The shape of the wound.
00:47:10Besides, they know the body was taken into the swamp
00:47:12by a small boat.
00:47:13A small boat had to come from someplace around here.
00:47:17Have they any ideas?
00:47:18No, I don't suppose they'd tell if they did.
00:47:21You know, somebody saw you out there that morning.
00:47:24What?
00:47:25Yeah, two fellows fishing.
00:47:27The lieutenant wanted to talk to you.
00:47:28Why?
00:47:30Oh, to find out if you'd seen anybody.
00:47:32I told them you hadn't or you'd have mentioned it.
00:47:34Why are they so interested in anyone being on the water at that hour?
00:47:38They know that it was about that time that Darby's body was moved into the swamp.
00:47:42Mrs. Harper?
00:47:43I didn't see anyone.
00:47:45Mrs. Harper?
00:47:47Uh, Sybil's calling you, Lucia.
00:47:49Telephone!
00:47:49I'm coming!
00:48:03I'm coming!
00:48:07Thanks.
00:48:13Hello?
00:48:15Hello, Mr. Downley.
00:48:17Uh, that Mr. Downley?
00:48:19Yes.
00:48:19Ask him for dinner some night.
00:48:21All right, Father.
00:48:24What is it?
00:48:25I understand you can't talk.
00:48:27Look now, I just called to tell you that he won't wait till Wednesday.
00:48:32He wants the money no later than Monday.
00:48:35And there is a Nagel.
00:48:37I'm afraid there's very much a Nagel.
00:48:41You don't believe me?
00:48:44Listen to me.
00:48:46Listen.
00:48:48If you could get half of it, you don't have to raise...
00:48:51I already told Nagel I wouldn't be wanting my share.
00:48:54And I'd like you to know, too, that if I had the money, I'd pay him off and that would
00:48:57be the end of it.
00:49:01Are you there?
00:49:05Did you hear what I said?
00:49:10I wish you would believe me.
00:49:13I wish things could have been different in many ways.
00:49:17Only one good thing came of it.
00:49:19I met you.
00:49:23Which way did you come into town?
00:49:27I'll meet you at the terminal.
00:49:49Hey, where's the game tonight?
00:49:51I don't know. I'm not playing.
00:49:54Tell him the game will be held in room 420 tonight.
00:50:00Talk to her?
00:50:01Yes.
00:50:02She'll have the money Monday?
00:50:04She'll try.
00:50:06What do you give me that she'll try business for?
00:50:08I told you what to tell her. Let's cut out the horsing around.
00:50:12Maybe I'd better go down there and talk to her.
00:50:14I'm handling this. You lay off. You're not going near her.
00:50:16I'm not, huh?
00:50:17No, you're not.
00:50:19You know, this lady's not in your class, Martin.
00:50:23I often think you get mad at me because I remind you of what you are.
00:50:28You're not respectable, Martin.
00:50:31Relax. Take it easy.
00:50:35Plus payment on house. Plus taxes. Plus telephone bill. Plus piano bill.
00:50:49Plus, plus, plus...
00:51:03Plus electric bill, plus water bill.
00:51:10Come in.
00:51:11Mrs. Harper, you hardly touched a thing at dinner tonight.
00:51:13I thought maybe you'd like this.
00:51:15Thanks.
00:51:16Sybil, I didn't put the things away that I got in town this morning.
00:51:19Would you please?
00:51:20Yes.
00:51:23How did people put aside money so they have it when they need it?
00:51:26Christmas sure makes little numbers out of big ones, doesn't it?
00:51:31Sybil, we've got to cut down on the lights.
00:51:33That would...
00:51:35Well, I mean, we're always leaving the lights on and the meat bill, Sybil.
00:51:39No.
00:51:41I can cancel that suit I ordered.
00:51:43Oh, we could watch it a little more, Mrs. Harper.
00:51:48This wasn't on the list.
00:51:49Did you buy the cigarette holder?
00:51:52No.
00:51:52No, I didn't.
00:51:53I'll take it back.
00:51:56Good night, Mrs. Harper.
00:51:57Good night.
00:52:17I really wish you'd understand, Mrs. Harper.
00:52:20That kind of a loan.
00:52:21Hello, Mrs. Harper.
00:52:22Hello.
00:52:23Now, that kind of a loan.
00:52:24May I have your keys, please?
00:52:25We'd have to have your husband's signature.
00:52:27Yes, yes.
00:52:28If you'd given us a little notice, it would only be a matter of a few days.
00:52:32We've cabled to your husband, you see, and settle the matter.
00:52:35It's all right, Mr. Alvin.
00:52:36How do I understand?
00:53:03It's all right, Mr. Alvin.
00:53:04How do I understand?
00:53:07Could you help me?
00:53:09Whom do I see about making a...
00:53:12I'd like to see someone about making a loan.
00:53:15Just a minute.
00:53:19Mrs. Loring's free now.
00:53:20She's at the third desk in there.
00:53:21Just go through the gate.
00:53:42How do you do?
00:53:45Won't you sit down?
00:53:47Miss, um...
00:53:47Mrs. Harper.
00:53:48Harper.
00:53:52H-A-R-P-E-R?
00:53:56Yes.
00:53:57I grow them in my garden.
00:53:59Oh.
00:54:00Now then, what can I do for you?
00:54:03I want to get a loan.
00:54:05I mean, make a loan.
00:54:06No, get a loan.
00:54:07And how much do you wish to borrow?
00:54:10$5,000.
00:54:11I see.
00:54:15And what is the purpose of this loan, if I may ask?
00:54:18Well, I...
00:54:19I need the money.
00:54:21I gathered that.
00:54:23Now, what is the money for?
00:54:27Your...
00:54:28Your ad said no red tape.
00:54:30Well, we must know the purpose of the loan and how you plan to repay it.
00:54:35That's not red tape, is it?
00:54:37No, I didn't.
00:54:38Now, what is your husband's first name and occupation?
00:54:40I thought it was just a question of my signing a note.
00:54:44Well, how much do you think you could repay every month?
00:54:47$50.
00:54:49Mrs. Harper, do you realize how long it would take to pay back the sum you ask at that rate?
00:54:55I guess it would take a long time.
00:54:58Oh, we couldn't consider it, Mrs. Harper, really.
00:55:02Do you have any collateral?
00:55:04A car wouldn't cover it, of course, but your house...
00:55:07No, but I have my jewelry.
00:55:08Oh, I'm sorry.
00:55:10We cannot lend money on jewelry.
00:55:12We don't have a pawnbroker's license.
00:55:15It's state law, you know?
00:55:17I see.
00:55:18Well, I guess I won't bother you anymore.
00:55:20Thanks.
00:55:21Thanks just the same.
00:55:22Of course.
00:55:25Merry Christmas.
00:55:53Merry Christmas.
00:55:56Merry Christmas.
00:56:06Over here, madam.
00:56:10I'd like to borrow some money on some jewelry.
00:56:12All right.
00:56:13Here it is.
00:56:20It's mine.
00:56:29Very nice.
00:56:31Nice selling.
00:56:33I fill out a date.
00:56:35Yes.
00:56:36How much do you want on this?
00:56:38As much as I can get.
00:56:41Well?
00:56:44I can give you $700.
00:56:47$700, but it's worth so much more.
00:56:49$800.
00:56:52Will you...
00:56:53Are you going to put the things in the window?
00:56:56Oh, no.
00:56:57Those things in the window are those which the owners haven't redeemed.
00:57:00Or they haven't paid the interest on.
00:57:01I see.
00:57:03Oh, it's late.
00:57:05Here's your ticket, madam.
00:57:10You'll need that.
00:57:24Excuse me.
00:57:29Hey, watch it.
00:57:31Keep your eyes open.
00:57:32It's stopped.
00:57:34I'll be right back.
00:57:41Plus from San Francisco.
00:57:43Now arriving, gate two.
00:57:45Sorry, I'm late.
00:57:46It took longer than I thought.
00:57:47That's all right.
00:57:47That's not all right.
00:57:48I could only raise $800.
00:57:49And I won't be taking the money.
00:57:50Did you draw that out of your bank?
00:57:52No, I didn't have it.
00:57:53I pawned some jewelry.
00:57:54Well, you can get your things back, all of them.
00:57:55Nagel can't do anything to you now.
00:57:58I don't understand what you mean.
00:57:59The police know who killed Darby.
00:58:00They've taken him in.
00:58:01They...
00:58:01They...
00:58:02They what?
00:58:03It's no bother of yours.
00:58:04He's nothing.
00:58:05They...
00:58:05They've arrested someone?
00:58:07I'll get you some coffee.
00:58:08What?
00:58:09Your worries are over now, and I'm glad.
00:58:12Do you want to have any trouble?
00:58:12He wants to go.
00:58:13Make this people in California yet.
00:58:16They'll keep the girl's name out of it.
00:58:17I'll let us have nothing to do with that.
00:58:18Mr. Donnelly.
00:58:20Listen to me, please.
00:58:21And I told you.
00:58:22Supposing he had nothing to do with it.
00:58:24This, this, what's his name?
00:58:25Murray, he could have been framed.
00:58:26A lot of people didn't like him.
00:58:27But he's in jail.
00:58:28He's in jail for it.
00:58:29He'll be tried for it.
00:58:30It was a night's sleep over it.
00:58:31Tea and Derby, the two of them.
00:58:32But he can't be punished, can he, for something he didn't do?
00:58:33There's no need for you to worry about it.
00:58:35It's no concern of yours.
00:58:37Coffee, please.
00:58:38One coffee, please.
00:58:39Yes.
00:58:40But what if he didn't do it?
00:58:41What if he did?
00:58:43But he didn't do it.
00:58:43He didn't because...
00:58:45Well, you see, he couldn't.
00:58:46And the thing is, they mustn't keep him in jail because he didn't do it.
00:58:4810 cents.
00:58:50Two seats, please.
00:58:51Two seats, please.
00:58:51Come sit down.
00:58:52Arriving gate four.
00:58:56Would you have a Coke?
00:58:57No, I want an ice cream.
00:58:59Okay.
00:59:00Camellia.
00:59:01Buy the lady a camellia, mister.
00:59:03You can't.
00:59:03Take it easy.
00:59:05But he didn't do it.
00:59:07Do you know who did that?
00:59:09You do know?
00:59:10Come on now, who was it?
00:59:12You're not going to tell me that you killed him?
00:59:15Yes.
00:59:16Well, no.
00:59:18I mean, well, you see, earlier that day, I went to see Darby.
00:59:24I told him he must never meet her again.
00:59:27I told Bea, too.
00:59:30I said if he ever came nearer again, I'd...
00:59:32Well, that night, he did come to see her.
00:59:35They met at the boathouse.
00:59:37I went there.
00:59:38There was an awful argument, and I...
00:59:40You couldn't have killed him.
00:59:41I don't believe you.
00:59:42I did.
00:59:43I did.
00:59:44It was with the anchor.
00:59:45A handy little weapon.
00:59:48I pushed him.
00:59:53I pushed him, and he...
00:59:54He fell on it.
00:59:56Later, I had to move him off of it.
00:59:57It was...
00:59:57How did you move him?
00:59:58He was a big man, Darby.
00:59:59You couldn't have done that part of it.
01:00:01Oh, yes, I could.
01:00:02I did, though.
01:00:03I don't know how I did, but I...
01:00:04I don't believe you.
01:00:05I can't help it.
01:00:06It's the truth, and now they're holding on...
01:00:07All right, all right, all right.
01:00:08So you're a murderer.
01:00:09So I believe you, if that's what you want.
01:00:11But you're not to repeat the story to another soul.
01:00:14I want your word on that.
01:00:17How goes your family?
01:00:19How would it be for them?
01:00:19Manhattan Beach, Long Beach, Newport, Balboa, Laguna, now loading.
01:00:26Bus for Hermosa, Manhattan Beach, Long Beach, Newport, Balboa, Laguna, now loading.
01:00:33Listen to me.
01:00:34You're out of it now.
01:00:35Don't you see?
01:00:36You're out of it.
01:00:36You're safe.
01:00:37But he's innocent.
01:00:37All right, he's innocent of this, but he's guilty of a hundred other things.
01:00:39So it doesn't matter.
01:00:40It makes no difference.
01:00:42You've got to look at it from all sides.
01:00:44It's your family.
01:00:45You have to think out what's going to do the most good in the end.
01:00:48Forget about him.
01:00:49What's the use of sacrificing your family for a man that's no good, that deserves what's coming to him?
01:00:54If he gets it for this, that's the only good thing he's done in his whole life.
01:00:58Don't be trying to think of the right and the wrong of it.
01:01:01You're not dealing with the kind of people you'll know.
01:01:02No, you're dealing with the kind of people I know.
01:01:05Balboa, Laguna, this is how it'll be.
01:01:08It's the right thing to do, Lucy.
01:01:10It's the right thing.
01:01:11Just you forget this.
01:01:12If you do as I say, it'll be over for you.
01:01:15Tonight, I'll have it out with Nagel.
01:01:16You'll have your letters back, and I'll bring them to the house.
01:01:18No, please.
01:01:19Please, mail them.
01:01:20I'm sorry, but...
01:01:22Of course, I understand.
01:01:23I'll mail them.
01:01:33Bus from New Orleans, San Anto, El Paso, Phoenix, now arriving.
01:01:52If you want your choice, you have to lay six to five.
01:01:54I'm looking for Nagel. Have you seen him?
01:01:55In the bar.
01:01:57All you got to buy for the fire is there.
01:02:01Hi, Martin.
01:02:12No, no, no, no.
01:02:14Just play the same tune again.
01:02:16The same tune again.
01:02:20I should have won that last night.
01:02:23I need one card right from the beginning.
01:02:25Where's Nagel?
01:02:26It's your pick.
01:02:27You heard Murray got sprung a little while ago.
01:02:29What about a score?
01:02:30So he went for a little drive.
01:02:32Where did he go?
01:02:33He said he wanted to get some salt air.
01:02:36Here we go.
01:02:38That's the point.
01:02:39Well, that was fine.
01:02:40There, I'll put it in here.
01:02:41Yeah.
01:02:48Good night, Mrs. Harper.
01:02:51Mrs. Harper.
01:02:52What?
01:02:53Mrs. Harper.
01:02:56There's a man here.
01:02:57Who?
01:02:58He says his name is Nagel.
01:02:59He's not a nice man, Mrs. Harper.
01:03:01Don't you think we ought to call him?
01:03:02No.
01:03:03Where, where is he?
01:03:04Well, he said he wanted to see you alone, so I had him wait in the boat.
01:03:06I'll go there.
01:03:07You better tell the folks you're home first.
01:03:08They're awful upset about you being so late.
01:03:10All right.
01:03:10Would you give him a drink and tell him I'll be down as soon as I can?
01:03:13Yes.
01:03:25Lucia, we've been worried sick.
01:03:27The traffic was heavy and the bus was slow.
01:03:30Hey, Mother, can I have a dollar?
01:03:32A dollar, David?
01:03:34What for?
01:03:35What for?
01:03:36I'm going out.
01:03:37Look at me.
01:03:38Boy on this station.
01:03:39There's a dollar in my desk drawer upstairs.
01:03:42Take it, but one, not two.
01:03:44I'll pay fine.
01:03:45Where are you going?
01:03:46Owen Feller asked me and Bea to go to the movies with them.
01:03:49The whole gang's gone.
01:03:50But the beautiful Beatrice does not choose to go.
01:03:52Why don't you want to go, Bea?
01:03:54Because, Mother.
01:03:56Oh, you should go, dear.
01:03:57Owen will be terribly disappointed.
01:03:59I just don't want to.
01:04:01I've eaten and I'm tired.
01:04:03Really, Bea, the right thing for you to do is to go.
01:04:06I'm too tired to go into it now, but I wish you'd do as I say, please.
01:04:10I just can't.
01:04:11Lucia.
01:04:14Lucia, with Tom away, if you ever want to talk things over, well, I mean, if you, what
01:04:22I mean is, I'm here, you know.
01:04:25I know, Father.
01:04:26I was on my way to bed, but if you'd like to catch a late movie.
01:04:28No, thanks.
01:04:29Tired?
01:04:32Father, there's nothing wrong that Tom's coming home won't cure.
01:04:37Good night.
01:04:38Good night.
01:04:44I'll do those, you go.
01:04:45Mother, I just don't feel like seeing you.
01:04:47You don't want to see Owen, and I know why, it's ridiculous.
01:04:49Believe me.
01:04:50If anyone ever found out about it.
01:04:51We've gone off through that, and there's nothing more to say.
01:04:53You just can't stop living at your age.
01:04:55Come on.
01:04:57I'm not dressed.
01:04:58You look perfectly all right.
01:04:59I'll give you my fair coat.
01:05:00It looks lovely, aren't you?
01:05:03You've got to see people sooner or later, so you might as well start now.
01:05:09It's just that it's so difficult to put you in the mask.
01:05:13Hey, she's going?
01:05:14Yes, David, she's going.
01:05:15Atta, girl.
01:05:16Come on.
01:05:17Wait a minute, B.
01:05:19I don't want to roll down your sleeves.
01:05:24Oh, there's something in the pocket.
01:05:26Oh, it's just an old shopping list.
01:05:28Shopping list?
01:05:30What?
01:05:31I'm nothing, dear.
01:05:32You better hurry.
01:05:34Get your sleeve.
01:05:37Come on.
01:05:38I'll see you when you get home.
01:05:41Have fun.
01:05:42Okay.
01:05:44Oh, my.
01:05:45Oh, my.
01:05:46Oh, my.
01:05:47Oh, my.
01:05:50Mrs. Harper?
01:05:52Mrs. Harper, would you like me to go with you?
01:05:54No, thanks, Sybil.
01:05:55Well, I'll wait here.
01:05:56You call me if you need me.
01:05:57All right.
01:06:34I'm sorry I've had to wait here, but my son...
01:06:36Well, Duchess, you sure took your time.
01:06:38Well, I couldn't get here any sooner.
01:06:41What do you want?
01:06:42Don't you know?
01:06:43Well, this afternoon, Mr. Donnelly said that I didn't...
01:06:45No, you must be a mighty fast-talker.
01:06:48Donnelly was a mighty good man until he ran into you.
01:06:51Now he's gone soft on us.
01:06:52But he said that...
01:06:53Let's skip all the talking.
01:06:55Where's the money?
01:06:56Donnelly said too much.
01:06:58We're right back where we started.
01:07:00Only this time he's out.
01:07:02I'm taking the whole five tonight.
01:07:04I don't know where you...
01:07:04Now.
01:07:05I don't know what you mean, right back where we started.
01:07:07I don't know what you're talking about.
01:07:08Oh, you know what I'm talking about.
01:07:09Now, where's the money?
01:07:10I haven't got it.
01:07:11I can't get it.
01:07:12I don't have to get it.
01:07:14I don't have to get it because you can't do anything to me anymore.
01:07:16Cut it.
01:07:17Cut it.
01:07:18You might be playing around with Donnelly, but not with me.
01:07:21I tell you, you can't do anything to me anymore.
01:07:23They've got the man who killed Darby.
01:07:24It has nothing to do with my daughter.
01:07:25The letters mean nothing.
01:07:26They've got him.
01:07:27They've got the man they're looking for.
01:07:28You can't do anything to me anymore.
01:07:29I've got news for you, Duchess.
01:07:31Murray was sprung this afternoon.
01:07:34I'm going to do what I should have done in the beginning.
01:07:36I'm going to call the police.
01:07:36Now, get a hold of a newspaper friend of mine and give him these.
01:07:40He'll do the rest.
01:07:42There's nothing the newspapers like more than a beautiful young girl mixed up in a murder case.
01:07:46She had nothing to do with it.
01:07:47Then let her prove it.
01:07:50Donnelly might have been willing to make some kind of deal with you, but not me.
01:07:53I don't care about your daughter, your son, your husband, or anybody else.
01:08:11This is a business proposition with me, and I don't leave this place until I have that money in my
01:08:16hand.
01:08:17So make up your mind now.
01:08:18Either you come clean with me, or I take your daughter's letters to the newspapers.
01:08:22It's as simple as that.
01:08:23So let's quit the stalling, huh?
01:08:26I told her to keep away from her.
01:08:29I told her.
01:08:31I told her.
01:08:55I told her.
01:08:58I told her.
01:09:01I told her.
01:09:03I told her.
01:09:04Oh, my God.
01:09:05Sir!ρί
01:09:05무언가ulan Нет!
01:09:10Let's go.
01:09:47I need help.
01:09:57Don't go.
01:09:59I'll get help.
01:10:01You're bleeding.
01:10:04You better get him out of here.
01:10:05No.
01:10:06No, you're not going to do that.
01:10:07I've got to get him out of here.
01:10:08No, you can't.
01:10:10It's useless.
01:10:14We've got to call the police.
01:10:16No, no, no.
01:10:17You don't understand.
01:10:18I'll tell them the whole story.
01:10:19Everything that happened.
01:10:20I'll tell them it's my fault, not yours.
01:10:22That you did it for me.
01:10:23I'll tell them that.
01:10:25They'll understand when I tell them everything.
01:10:26It's me and Nigel.
01:10:27They'll understand.
01:10:28They know how I'm kind.
01:10:29You're not like it.
01:10:30He was better than I was.
01:10:31He had no illusions about himself.
01:10:35I never killed a man before.
01:10:39Do you know that when I was a boy, my mother wanted to make a priest of me.
01:10:43She had five sons and would never learn that I was the bad one.
01:10:48I never did a decent thing in all my life.
01:10:51I never even wanted to until you came along.
01:10:54Then I began to think, if only I could turn back and start over.
01:11:00So what happens?
01:11:02As soon as I try to start back, I find myself with this on my hands.
01:11:07Let's take it as a hint, Lucia.
01:11:09Don't make the same mistake my mother made.
01:11:11You don't know me, Lucia.
01:11:13The police know me all right.
01:11:15I can't let you take this on yourself and be hounded for murder the rest of your life.
01:11:21I got you into this.
01:11:23It was my way of doing something that's made everything wrong.
01:11:27I'll tell them that.
01:11:29I'll tell them about Bea and Darby.
01:11:31I'll tell them about you.
01:11:34It's the only way.
01:11:36Before you do that, do you mind getting me a drink?
01:11:38I could use one.
01:11:40Be right back.
01:11:51It's all right.
01:11:53Go upstairs and get some bandages.
01:11:55Mr. Donnelly's been badly hurt.
01:11:57Mr. Donnelly.
01:12:00Yes, but hurry and be careful about Mr. Harper.
01:12:22Come on.
01:12:22Hurry.
01:12:24Hurry.
01:12:26Come on.
01:12:29Come on.
01:12:29I thought it was in the bathroom.
01:12:30I couldn't.
01:12:31All right.
01:12:31You want me to go with you?
01:12:33Listen, you'd better take your coat.
01:12:35Come on, let me go.
01:12:39Come on.
01:12:48Come on.
01:12:51Come on.
01:13:20Donnelly!
01:13:27Cybill! Cybill, my car keys! Hurry!
01:13:41You would not have helped him with the police, Mrs. Harper.
01:13:46I'd lie. I wouldn't tell him about the blackmail.
01:13:50I liked Mr. Donnelly.
01:13:54He wouldn't listen to me.
01:13:56If only he would listen to me.
01:14:27He wouldn't listen to me.
01:14:29I see. Something's happening.
01:14:32Stop!
01:14:43Donnelly!
01:14:44Go back to the car, Lucia! Go back! Go back!
01:14:48Sibyl!
01:14:49Get away from me!
01:14:49Sibyl, stop the car and you'll help!
01:14:52No, you can't move that. It's pinned underneath.
01:14:54But it's only in the arm.
01:14:57Lucia!
01:14:58I got these off Nagel.
01:15:01No, don't do that. Leave me. Leave me just as I am.
01:15:03No, don't even touch me.
01:15:06You mustn't be found here when help comes.
01:15:09I must get away from you.
01:15:10Now, listen carefully. Listen carefully, Lucia.
01:15:12Don't you understand? Everything's turned out all right.
01:15:15Finding Nagel here, they'll never know what happened.
01:15:18It'll be...
01:15:20He was with me when I had the accident.
01:15:22But... but you'll spoil everything if you're here when they come.
01:15:28Ah, no. You must have courage, Lucia, and leave me.
01:15:36You'll spoil everything if you stay.
01:15:39It'll all be for nothing.
01:15:42Everything will be all right for me in a few minutes.
01:15:44They'll take me to the station. The doctor will fix me.
01:15:48But you must get away from here.
01:15:51Go on. Hurry, Lucia.
01:15:54Go on now, Lucia.
01:15:56Hurry now.
01:15:58Go on. Get away.
01:16:02Hurry, Lucia. Go on.
01:16:06Go on now.
01:16:08Go on.
01:16:20Come on, Mrs. Harper.
01:16:22I'll drive.
01:16:55I'll drive.
01:16:56Mrs. Harper.
01:16:57Telephone.
01:16:58Berlin calling.
01:17:32It's Mr. Harper. He's on the phone.
01:17:36It's Mr. Harper. He's on the phone.
01:17:39He's on the phone.
01:17:40What's...
01:17:42Mother! We saw a terrible accident.
01:17:44Quiet, David. It's Mr. Harper, Berlin.
01:17:46Mother, we had to make a detour.
01:17:48Hi, Dad.
01:17:49The police... the police said that the man who was in the accident
01:17:52confessed to killing Darby.
01:17:54And they got to him just before he died.
01:17:56And, Mother, they told me who it was.
01:17:58Here she is. Just a second, Dad.
01:18:05What's going on down there?
01:18:07It's there, Grandpa.
01:18:08Oh.
01:18:11Tom?
01:18:12Tom, we've... we've mailed your Christmas packages.
01:18:15We're going to have a blue Christmas tree.
01:18:17Everything's fine except...
01:18:19we miss you terribly.
01:18:22Yes, Tom.
01:18:36When time session she's burnt with me.
01:18:36I'm sorry he's been içining.
01:18:38we're going to have a blue Christmas tree.
01:18:39Forever.
01:18:39Next...
01:18:40Good night...
01:18:40and we're looking forward to all that sticks with me.
