00:01:04The End
00:01:09The End
00:01:30Oh, no. I couldn't possibly go out that far.
00:01:34I told you I...
00:01:35Cut!
00:01:44Oh, I'm sorry, Val.
00:01:46I'm frightfully tired.
00:01:48But, Sheila, we've been in Honolulu a week and haven't done two days' work.
00:01:52I know.
00:01:54I'll work as late as you wish tomorrow, but I can't go on now. Don't ask me, please.
00:02:00All right. Eight o'clock in the morning and don't be late.
00:02:03Oh, thanks, Val.
00:02:07You know what's really the matter with her, don't you?
00:02:08She has an engagement with that Alan Jane she met on the boat.
00:02:12Is she going to marry that guy?
00:02:14I don't know.
00:02:22What time did Tonoverro say to be there?
00:02:24Four o'clock.
00:02:24Oh, hurry up, Anna. Get me out of this.
00:02:35Hi, Julie.
00:02:36Hi, Julie. Hello there.
00:02:37Hello.
00:02:40Where's Sheila? In her dressing room?
00:02:42Yes.
00:02:43Hey, what's the idea? I haven't seen you yet today.
00:02:45No, you can't till I've seen Sheila.
00:02:47Oh, forget Sheila for a while.
00:02:49Take a moment to enjoy the palms of paradise.
00:02:52Save that gag for the tourists.
00:02:53I'm sick of the tourists. I want to sell Honolulu to you.
00:03:04Hello, Julie.
00:03:05What are you doing out here?
00:03:06I think I have a little surprise for you.
00:03:08Look.
00:03:16That's no surprise to me, dear. I sent for him.
00:03:18Sheila, all the way from Hollywood?
00:03:20Yes, all the way from Hollywood.
00:03:21I want his advice.
00:03:22I need him now more than I ever needed him in all my life.
00:03:25You mean about marrying Alan?
00:03:26Yes.
00:03:27Oh, darling, can't you even get married without asking Tonoverro?
00:03:30You simply don't like him, Julie.
00:03:32It isn't that.
00:03:33I'm afraid of him.
00:03:34Sometimes I think he has you completely under his influence.
00:03:36Oh, nonsense.
00:03:37He's never given me anything but the very best of advice.
00:03:40Julie.
00:03:41Julie.
00:03:42Is that that long, slim press agent of yours?
00:03:44Oh, he isn't a press agent, Sheila.
00:03:46He's the publicity director of the whole island
00:03:48and the Rotary Club and the Chamber of Commerce and everything.
00:03:51No, really.
00:03:52Well, you're not in love with him, are you?
00:03:54Oh, no.
00:03:55How could you say such a thing?
00:03:56Julie.
00:03:57Yes, Mr. Bradshaw.
00:03:59I'm coming.
00:04:02Darling, remember, you're having friends for dinner.
00:04:04So please don't let Tonoverro upset you.
00:04:07Promise me.
00:04:08You're a sweet child, Julie.
00:04:09But there are some things you know absolutely nothing about
00:04:12and Tonoverro is one of them.
00:04:13Now, let's not talk about it anymore.
00:04:15You go home and worry about the dinner tonight.
00:04:17Can you see me now, sweetheart?
00:04:19Shh.
00:04:20Don't let Sheila hear you call me that.
00:04:22She's thinking pretty sudden for just one week.
00:04:24Well, she's only known Ellen Jane's a week.
00:04:26Besides, what do I care about her?
00:04:28Well, I care.
00:04:29Things would have been pretty tough for me
00:04:30if it hadn't been for Sheila.
00:04:31Yeah, listen, I just thought of another swell slogan.
00:04:33Don't dream about a dream, own one.
00:04:35You and your slogan.
00:04:36What does that one mean?
00:04:37That one means you and a sweet little bungalow
00:04:39nestling under two mortgages.
00:04:41Jimmy.
00:04:49These are sad occasions, aren't they, Ellen?
00:04:51Last ride.
00:04:52You know, Sheila, this doesn't have to be our last ride.
00:04:55But you're sailing at midnight.
00:04:56I know.
00:04:57And I want you to sail with me.
00:04:59What about my picture?
00:05:00I must finish that.
00:05:01Oh, never mind the picture.
00:05:03Let's get married this afternoon.
00:05:05And then we can talk about what we'll do.
00:05:08Darling, I don't even know that we can get married at all.
00:05:11But if we can, I promise to tell you tonight before you sail.
00:05:15But if you can tell me tonight, why can't you tell me now?
00:05:19There's a perfectly good reason.
00:05:22Look here.
00:05:24This appointment at the hotel,
00:05:25Well, that hasn't anything to do with you of not marrying me, has it?
00:05:30It has a lot to do with it.
00:05:45All for Mr. Stony Barrow, please.
00:05:50All for Mr. Stony Barrow, please.
00:05:55All for Mr. Stony Barrow, please.
00:06:00All for Mr. Stony Barrow, please.
00:06:06All for Mr. Stony Barrow, please.
00:06:08All for Mr. Stony Barrow, please.
00:06:08Sir Pijini.
00:06:11Chinese merchant will see you at the death, sir.
00:06:13Chinese merchant?
00:06:14Yes, sir.
00:06:16Strange.
00:06:18You will excuse me.
00:06:19Well, we'll see you later on.
00:06:27No case, just close.
00:06:30Shh.
00:06:31I'm pretending to be Chinese merchant.
00:06:33Do not mention police.
00:06:34Go away.
00:06:35You want me to investigate?
00:06:36Yes.
00:06:37Take streetcar.
00:06:38Go far away.
00:06:40Investigate there a long time.
00:06:42And remember, wages of stupidity is hunt for new job.
00:06:46Oh, I understand.
00:06:48Thank you so much.
00:06:53Have I pleasure in meeting Tanevero the Great, lifter of veils, peeking into mystery of future?
00:07:00Thank you, ma'am.
00:07:01Like a shadow follows man, so fame has followed you from Hollywood.
00:07:06Thanks.
00:07:07And you are...
00:07:07Alas, mouse cannot cast shadow like elephant.
00:07:12I am humbly insignificant Chinese merchant, assailed by many doubts.
00:07:18Chinese merchant?
00:07:19You have flattered me by calling me a lifter of veils.
00:07:22Allow me to lift yours.
00:07:24Uh, shall I say, Captain?
00:07:27No.
00:07:28No.
00:07:30Inspector Tan.
00:07:32Honolulu police.
00:07:34Your business with me?
00:07:36Uh, rumor announced you have been sightseeing in, uh, in, uh, Crystal Globe.
00:07:43Yes, but not professionally.
00:07:45Ah, most happy.
00:07:46Because, uh, supernatural powers of fortune tellers make very bad smell in nostrils of Honolulu.
00:07:53Perhaps, after all, my psychic powers may not be any more supernatural than yours.
00:07:58We are both detectives.
00:08:00You look backward, I look forward.
00:08:03Possible.
00:08:04But it was not psychic powers told you I'm police officer.
00:08:08But, uh, pinholes of badge recently removed, huh?
00:08:12Quite right.
00:08:14Uh, such skill as yours should be at service of public.
00:08:19Are you flattered?
00:08:19No, no.
00:08:20Oh.
00:08:21Hollywood is famous furnisher of mysteries.
00:08:25Uh, cases amazingly interesting.
00:08:28Uh, any particular case?
00:08:30Ah, yes.
00:08:31Murder of handsome-faced actor Danny Mayo.
00:08:34Dead now, three years.
00:08:36Whole world asks questions.
00:08:39Police answer always saying nothing.
00:08:42Nothing.
00:08:44Perhaps, uh, fortune teller could do better, eh?
00:08:48Oh, possibly.
00:08:49Yes.
00:08:50Always harder to keep murder secret than for egg to bounce on sidewalks.
00:08:55You will pardon me.
00:08:56I have an appointment.
00:08:57Eh?
00:08:57Not professional.
00:08:59Thank you so much.
00:09:10Goodbye, darling.
00:09:11I shan't be long.
00:09:12Come quite early for dinner before the others, will you?
00:09:14I'll be hours early.
00:09:15Goodbye.
00:09:16Goodbye.
00:09:42Come in.
00:09:45Ah.
00:09:45Oh, Tanovero.
00:09:47What a relief to find you here.
00:09:49I knew I could depend on you.
00:09:50Oh, well.
00:09:51Oh, I have so much to tell you.
00:09:53On the boat I'm...
00:09:54Great.
00:09:55Don't tell me.
00:09:56Let me tell you.
00:09:57You've helped me so many times.
00:09:59Do you think you can help me now?
00:10:00I simply must...
00:10:01I tried.
00:10:04Sit here.
00:10:43Sit.
00:10:45Now, look deep.
00:10:51Think.
00:10:53Think of the matter that troubles you.
00:11:01I have a very important decision to make.
00:11:04Now let's...
00:11:04Wait.
00:11:06I see a man, wealthy, attractive,
00:11:10who stands with him at the rail of a ship.
00:11:13He asks you a question.
00:11:17Something stops your answer.
00:11:20You love him.
00:11:21Oh, I do. I do love him, Tanevero.
00:11:24I want to say yes.
00:11:26I want some happiness.
00:11:28I think I've earned a little...
00:11:29But you fear something.
00:11:31Perhaps something in the past.
00:11:34No. No.
00:11:36Yes.
00:11:38I see.
00:11:41I see.
00:11:44How long ago?
00:11:45Oh, it was something that happened three years ago in June.
00:11:50I see newspaper headlines.
00:11:54Around the startled world.
00:11:56Police courts.
00:11:57Investigations.
00:11:58Innocent names dishonored.
00:12:00Public officials disgraced.
00:12:02Do say yes.
00:12:03No. No. Stop. Stop.
00:12:04I shouldn't have come.
00:12:05Tell me.
00:12:06No. I can't. I'm afraid.
00:12:09Will you tell me or must I tell you?
00:12:12Oh, please. Please.
00:12:14I see a dead man plumbed over a desk.
00:12:17A life's arm hangs at his side.
00:12:19Danny Mayo.
00:12:20No.
00:12:20Oh, wait.
00:12:31I'll tell you.
00:12:36Look. Can anyone be out there?
00:12:43No.
00:12:45There is no one.
00:12:47Why?
00:12:49Oh.
00:12:51I had a feeling someone else was listening to us.
00:12:53No.
00:12:56No.
00:12:56No.
00:12:57We are absolutely alone.
00:13:03Go on.
00:13:10Well, I was in Danny Mayo's last three pictures.
00:13:18I fell madly in love with him.
00:13:22I was in his house that night he was murdered.
00:13:26No.
00:13:27No.
00:13:42I was seated.
00:13:43Just in the morning came up to me.
00:13:44No.
00:13:44No, no.
00:13:45No.
00:13:46No, no, no.
00:13:48No.
00:13:50Go ahead.
00:14:14Hello, darling.
00:14:16Hello.
00:14:17Sheila.
00:14:21You've been crying.
00:14:22What's happened?
00:14:23Oh, nothing.
00:14:24Can't you tell me?
00:14:25Is it something about Alan?
00:14:28Yes.
00:14:29I can't marry him, and I've got to tell him.
00:14:31Why can't you?
00:14:33Sheila, did Canavera advise you not to?
00:14:35Oh, please, Julie, leave me alone.
00:14:37Sheila, pull yourself together, please.
00:14:40You know you want to look your best for the blues tonight.
00:14:42Yes, I know.
00:14:44I'll be all right, dear.
00:14:46Now, you run along.
00:14:47I want to be alone.
00:14:48All right, darling.
00:14:49Jimmy and I are going for a swim.
00:15:08What do you want?
00:15:09Well, these flowers just came.
00:15:11Well, put them there.
00:15:19What's the matter with you?
00:15:22Nothing.
00:15:23Nothing.
00:16:031-3-1-3, please.
00:16:08The Royal Theatre? I'd like to speak to Mr. Robert Feith.
00:16:12Yes, the actor.
00:16:18What's the matter, Anna?
00:16:20Nothing.
00:16:21Well, something's happened. You look as if you'd seen a ghost.
00:16:26You're not happy here, Anna. Let's leave. Go somewhere else.
00:16:30Oh, Jessup, please. We've settled all that, and you promised you wouldn't bring it up again.
00:16:35I don't want to hurt you, but I don't love you.
00:16:39But I love you, and you're in trouble.
00:16:42There isn't anything in the world I wouldn't do to help you.
00:16:49I don't want to hurt you.
00:16:50I don't want to hurt you.
00:16:54I don't want to hurt you.
00:16:55Excuse me, please.
00:16:57What's the trouble?
00:16:58My name is James.
00:16:59Alan James.
00:17:00I want you to explain why you advised Sheila Fane not to marry me.
00:17:03Sorry. I never discuss what goes on in my readings.
00:17:05You'll discuss this, all right, you cheap faker.
00:17:07Please, for the public place.
00:17:08I don't care where we are.
00:17:09Aren't you being a bit silly, Mr. James?
00:17:12A thousand pardons.
00:17:14This all goes on in my readings.
00:17:15A fountain battery not permitted without license from Boxing Commission.
00:17:19Just hold you.
00:17:31Oh.
00:17:33I offended the young man quite unintentionally.
00:17:35By the way, Inspector, how do you plan to spend the evening?
00:17:38I attend Road Club banquet here at Hotel.
00:17:42Good. Then you'll be here for some time.
00:17:44Terribly possible.
00:17:46Very few after-dinner speeches equipped with self-stopper.
00:17:52I may have a very important message for you tonight.
00:17:54What message?
00:17:56Would you be surprised if I should ask you to arrest a murderer?
00:17:58No.
00:17:59All foxes come at last to first off.
00:18:03What murderer?
00:18:05No. I mustn't say too much.
00:18:07There is many a slip.
00:18:09You quench fire on my curiosity.
00:18:13With a handful of straw.
00:18:18No clue.
00:18:20What?
00:18:20Took long ride on streetcar.
00:18:22Nothing.
00:18:23Kashimo.
00:18:24Do me a favor.
00:18:25Yes.
00:18:26Spend more time hunting for nothing to do.
00:18:39I just thought of a small slogan for a dentist.
00:18:41How's this?
00:18:42The truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth.
00:18:43Oh, Jimmy, that's terrible.
00:18:45What?
00:18:45How's this?
00:18:48Come on.
00:18:50We're gonna be late.
00:18:51Come on.
00:18:52Come on.
00:18:52Hurry up.
00:18:54Don't do without that.
00:18:56Come on.
00:18:58I'm moving.
00:18:59Come on.
00:19:00Come on.
00:19:03Come on.
00:19:05Come on.
00:19:05Come on.
00:19:06Listen.
00:19:17Oh, Jimmy, isn't it sweet of those youngsters?
00:19:19Who are they?
00:19:20Some high school children who've come starlighted Sheila.
00:19:22Oh.
00:19:23Hurry up.
00:19:24Come on.
00:19:24We're going to be off.
00:19:28Now, Jimmy, I'm sorry.
00:19:30Oh, hello.
00:19:30Hello, Will.
00:19:31Hello, Bonnie.
00:19:32How are you there?
00:19:33Sorry we're late, Rita.
00:19:34You must have had a hard time finding the water.
00:19:36Is that necessary, Van?
00:19:38A toast to our absent hostess, eh?
00:19:40Where's Sheila?
00:19:41Isn't she down yet?
00:19:42The old Hollywood complex.
00:19:43She's waiting to make a grand entrance.
00:19:46I think she's in the pavilion.
00:19:48Come on, Jimmy.
00:19:49Let's go.
00:19:49You bet.
00:19:51The last time we waited for Sheila's entrance was at Denny Mayo's, wasn't it?
00:19:55Now, sit here, Van.
00:19:55If you're going to...
00:19:56Don't even breathe Denny's name.
00:19:58If you do, Wilkie will start throwing things.
00:20:02Well, Jane, why don't you join us?
00:20:04Well, thank you.
00:20:05I will.
00:20:07Please, I'll never.
00:20:08Come on, Sheila.
00:20:09The stage is all set.
00:20:11I'll go in and escort her.
00:20:17Don.
00:20:18Don't go in there.
00:20:19Why not?
00:20:20What's the matter?
00:20:21Let's go back.
00:20:21Let me go.
00:20:22Don.
00:20:23Julie.
00:20:26Sheila.
00:20:28Sheila!
00:20:34Speak to me.
00:20:37Give it!
00:20:40Come away from here.
00:20:43There's nothing we can do here.
00:20:46Wait.
00:20:48Take that emerald ring off her finger.
00:20:49But we mustn't do that.
00:20:51What for?
00:20:51Don't ask any questions.
00:20:52Take it quick before someone sees it.
00:20:54Oh, but, Julie, if you...
00:20:55Hurry, hurry.
00:20:55Give it to me.
00:20:57Oh, my God.
00:21:06Oh, my God.
00:21:07Oh, my God.
00:21:08So the pompous hotel clerk says to me, you can't go upstairs without being announced.
00:21:13Is Mrs. Smith expecting you?
00:21:15And I said, listen, Mrs. Smith was expecting me before I was born.
00:21:19Mrs. Smith is my mother.
00:21:25Look at Julie.
00:21:27What's happened?
00:21:40Sheila's dead.
00:21:40What did you say?
00:21:41She's been murdered.
00:21:42What are you saying?
00:21:43Where is she?
00:21:43She's out in the pavilion.
00:21:44Don't go out there.
00:21:45Don't anybody go out there.
00:21:48I'm going to notify the police.
00:21:53If any message, just come for me.
00:21:55I shall be back about 11.
00:21:56Very well.
00:21:58Hello there, Inspector.
00:22:00Have you finished your dinner?
00:22:02No.
00:22:03I am rudely wrenched away by important business.
00:22:06Oh, that's interesting.
00:22:07Yes, very interesting.
00:22:10Miss Sheila Payne was just now murdered in her home.
00:22:13Sheila?
00:22:15That's impossible.
00:22:17You were just now on your way to her house?
00:22:19Yes, of course.
00:22:21You will honor me by riding with me?
00:22:23Oh, certainly.
00:22:28She always came to me with her troubles.
00:22:31This afternoon she confessed to me she had been mad in love with Denimeo.
00:22:36She was in his house the night he died.
00:22:38Saw him killed and never dared to tell because it would have wrecked her career.
00:22:44Why did she suddenly change mind about keeping secrets?
00:22:47Because she had fallen in love with James and hesitated to marry him.
00:22:50And perhaps drag him through unpleasant publicity later.
00:22:53Did she name murderer?
00:22:55No, but she did tell me he was at this moment in Honolulu.
00:23:01I am certain she would have revealed his name tonight.
00:23:04She was murdered because she knew who killed Denimeo.
00:23:10Possible motive?
00:23:11I am...
00:23:12May I ask your continued assistance?
00:23:18Sometimes very difficult to pick up pumpkin with one finger.
00:23:24Had you been driving long?
00:23:26No.
00:23:27At first I'm a pretty bad driver.
00:23:29But now me and road turn corner at the same time.
00:23:41Stabbed to heart...
00:23:43nor do you put a Ihrn,
00:23:51Torn from dress.
00:23:56Crushed angrily under feet.
00:24:09Pin is missing.
00:24:11Evidence of a struggle.
00:24:15Possibly.
00:24:24The wristwatch is smashed.
00:24:29That establishes the time of the murder.
00:24:33Maybe.
00:24:55Over here.
00:25:13Fresh footprints.
00:25:18The most unfashionable hole in one shoe.
00:25:24Fortune could not have smiled on owner.
00:25:27But it's important that the motive, after all, was robbery.
00:25:31Have you changed mind about motive?
00:25:33Not at all. I merely suggest we should keep our minds open.
00:25:36Yes. Excellent idea.
00:25:41This is a confounded outrage.
00:25:43This Jap has locked all the doors on us.
00:25:46Look here. You can't hold us prisoners.
00:25:49Yes, Ken. Orders.
00:25:51I'll have this Chinese detective throw it off the force for this.
00:25:54This is exceptional occasion, Mr. Ballou.
00:25:58There is old saying.
00:26:01Death is a black camel that kneels unbidden at every gate.
00:26:07Tonight, black camel has knelt here.
00:26:10Please forgive overzealous assistant.
00:26:14Miss Payne asked me to give you this as soon as you came.
00:26:16Oh, thank you. Please.
00:26:18This may give information we seek.
00:26:31What's happened?
00:26:32Lights!
00:26:34Lights!
00:26:35Lights!
00:26:35Where are you?
00:26:36I'll get the lights.
00:26:51Overwhelmed with regret.
00:26:56Important part of letter seems to be absent.
00:26:59Search everyone.
00:27:00Why?
00:27:02Man clever enough to do that trick.
00:27:05Too clever to keep letter on person.
00:27:20I am not in mood tonight for turning other cheek.
00:27:26But will return assault with compound battery.
00:27:41You are butler?
00:27:44When did you last see Miss Payne?
00:27:46About a quarter of eight when she came downstairs to meet Mr. James.
00:27:51Did you notice anything peculiar in her behavior?
00:27:55Not this evening.
00:27:56But some other time?
00:27:57This morning I found her crying in her room over a man's photograph.
00:28:01Ah.
00:28:02Kashimo.
00:28:03Clue?
00:28:04Yes.
00:28:05Go to Miss Payne's room.
00:28:08Look for man's photograph.
00:28:12You will show him, please?
00:28:14Just a moment, Jessica.
00:28:16Inspector, if you don't mind, I'd like to...
00:28:17You are...
00:28:18I lived with Miss Payne.
00:28:20She took care of me.
00:28:21I was with Miss O'Neil, Inspector.
00:28:23We were in swimming when...
00:28:24when it happened.
00:28:26What jewelry did she wear tonight?
00:28:29Just a wristwatch and some bracelets.
00:28:31Oh, and a diamond pin that I fastened her orchids with.
00:28:34The missing pin!
00:28:37Orchids?
00:28:38From who?
00:28:40They were from her ex-husband.
00:28:42Ah.
00:28:43An ex-husband?
00:28:44Yes.
00:28:45I should like to see him.
00:28:47He's playing at the Royal Theatre, Alphonse.
00:28:49Alphonse?
00:28:49Thank you so much.
00:28:52Miss Payne wore other jewelry tonight?
00:28:55No.
00:28:56Nothing else.
00:28:57I think you're mistaken, Miss Julie.
00:29:00She also wore her large emerald ring.
00:29:05You are positive?
00:29:07Yes, sir.
00:29:08That points again to the robbery motive.
00:29:30Do you have to do all this?
00:29:32Warriors?
00:29:37That'll be all, Miss Dixon.
00:29:39Thank you so much.
00:29:41This is very interesting.
00:29:43Mr. Ballou, you, your wife, Mr. Van Horn, and Miss Dixon...
00:29:50were all in Hollywood then, when Danny Mayo was murdered.
00:29:53You all knew him well.
00:29:55Now, just a minute, Mr. Too Sooner, whatever your name is.
00:29:58I want to remind you that we're concerned here with the Sheila Payne murder...
00:30:01and not the Danny Mayo scandal.
00:30:03And if you want to keep us here, I suggest...
00:30:05you can find your investigations to what we are here for.
00:30:08Nevertheless, I believe the two cases are connected.
00:30:11You are here in this picture with Miss Fane.
00:30:13And you were a friend of Danny Mayo.
00:30:15I deny that.
00:30:16I was never his friend.
00:30:17You were a guest in his home many times...
00:30:19eating his food and drinking his liquors.
00:30:21Yet you say you were not his friend.
00:30:23How do you account for that?
00:30:24Well, that's an old Hollywood custom.
00:30:26And what is it your business if he was?
00:30:28I'm with you, Van Horn.
00:30:29Let's stand pat and answer no more questions.
00:30:31That's a go.
00:30:32No more answers.
00:30:34You are all suspects.
00:30:38Who?
00:30:41Thank you, Kashimo.
00:30:43Look for footprints on the window of the pavilion.
00:30:47May need man.
00:30:52I'll tell you something you ought to know, teacher...
00:30:54if you let us go home.
00:30:56Do, please.
00:30:57I saw a man in a heavy overcoat.
00:30:59He was running from the pavilion...
00:31:01and he had a red streak across his shirt front...
00:31:04that was probably blood.
00:31:06Oh, so, man here tonight...
00:31:09we have not seen.
00:31:10Oh, an overcoat on a hot night like this.
00:31:12A big what?
00:31:13That's right, my dear.
00:31:14You stick to your story.
00:31:15Only why not make it a good one?
00:31:21Inspector.
00:31:22Yes?
00:31:22You need a lie detector.
00:31:24Lie detector?
00:31:25Yes.
00:31:26It's an invention that detects instantly...
00:31:28when anyone is telling a lie.
00:31:30Oh, I see.
00:31:31You mean a wife.
00:31:32I have one.
00:31:39Do you know whose photograph this is?
00:31:43No, I don't.
00:31:44But maybe I can tell if you put them all together.
00:31:49Look here, Inspector.
00:31:51I haven't time to sit around the Chinese picture puzzles.
00:31:53My ship sails at midnight.
00:31:55You are rejected suitor.
00:31:56But I've given you an airtight alibi.
00:31:58Sorry, but alibi have habit of disappearing...
00:32:01like hole in water.
00:32:08I've given you an airtight alibi.
00:32:09Clue!
00:32:09Nashima!
00:32:10You are a zebra.
00:32:12Zebra?
00:32:12What do you mean?
00:32:14Sport model jackass.
00:32:15Yes.
00:32:16But Clue, Clue, man on beach.
00:32:18Get.
00:32:18You mean get out?
00:32:19No, get man.
00:32:45Part of the photograph seem absent.
00:32:49Must be very important.
00:32:57Good.
00:32:59How are you?
00:33:00Mr. Ven, the rest of the money are all over.
00:33:02Eight二 hours a month.
00:33:03The marriage is gone.
00:33:04You are not going to be right back.
00:33:06Otherwise, if you don't have to go to dinner.
00:33:07l end the lunch.
00:33:10You are going to the next.
00:33:11Yes, sir.
00:33:11Help me.
00:33:12I will be right back.
00:33:13I will be right back.
00:33:14If you don't have like a coffee interviewer,
00:33:17try to take care of your coffee.
00:33:18Maybe you do that.
00:33:19Hold on. Hold on.
00:33:24So sorry. Cook, announce a strike.
00:33:27No dinner. Too late.
00:33:29But those who wish coffee can have in dining room.
00:33:32We'll suggest everybody partake.
00:33:34It will make answering questions easier.
00:33:37Even bagpipe will not speak when stomach is empty.
00:33:41Oh, I don't think I care for any baby.
00:33:45Oh, come on, dear. Fuck you, huh?
00:33:47Please.
00:33:48Oh, I guess I will.
00:33:56Oh, there's the man I saw.
00:34:06Please, pardon my attire.
00:34:08I was leaving a French ambassador and I came just as I left the stage,
00:34:12the moment I got your message.
00:34:15You are former husband of Sheila Fane?
00:34:18Yes, I am Robert Five.
00:34:20When was last time you saw a former wife?
00:34:24Seven years ago. In New York.
00:34:27Is that truth? Very last time?
00:34:29Of course.
00:34:32Strange.
00:34:33Tonight, honorable lady saw you running from pavilion.
00:34:36Even mistaking red ribbon on shirt for blood.
00:34:41Can you explain?
00:34:44Yes, I can explain.
00:34:47May I speak to you privately, Inspector?
00:34:52Please.
00:34:55I'm not the chance.
00:34:56Are you sure?
00:34:57Sure can.
00:34:58And now, Mr. Fane?
00:35:05Did you know Miss Fane, Inspector?
00:35:08I had not pleasure.
00:35:09She was a remarkable girl.
00:35:11Aflame with life.
00:35:12No other woman ever meant anything after Sheila left me.
00:35:16I understand.
00:35:17When?
00:35:17When I heard she was in Honolulu, I...
00:35:19I sent her flowers with a message.
00:35:21The moment she got them, she called me on the telephone.
00:35:24I was at the theater.
00:35:26Apparently dressed and ready for your role?
00:35:29Quite right. I came as quickly as possible.
00:35:32And you reached here when?
00:35:34Five minutes before eight.
00:35:36Sheila met me on the lawn and went to the pavilion.
00:35:38I was nervous about the time.
00:35:40That's why I know exactly.
00:35:42And then?
00:35:44Then she asked me if I still cared for her.
00:35:48I told her I adore her.
00:35:51I took her in my arms.
00:35:53We kissed.
00:35:57Then I told her I would return after the show was over and hurried away.
00:36:01It was then four minutes past eight.
00:36:03I checked it carefully because I was late.
00:36:05And what time did you arrive back in theater?
00:36:09Five minutes late.
00:36:11The stage manager spoke to me about it.
00:36:13I see.
00:36:14Those few minutes with Sheila may prove embarrassing to me.
00:36:20But I saw her again before she died.
00:36:23I am not sorry.
00:36:26And it's late, Inspector.
00:36:27And it occurred to me you might need some stimulant yourself.
00:36:30Thank you so much.
00:36:31Remain, please.
00:36:33Mr. Fyfe?
00:36:33No, thank you.
00:36:39You won't let for.
00:36:40You can't arrest a man for nothing.
00:36:42Yes, can.
00:36:43Clue!
00:36:52Clue!
00:36:53Clue?
00:36:55Same shoes?
00:36:57Who are you?
00:36:59The name might be Smith.
00:37:01Might also be Jones.
00:37:02I prefer Smith.
00:37:04Look!
00:37:05Clue in pocket!
00:37:07Temple Bruns Medal.
00:37:10Third prize.
00:37:13Landscape in oil.
00:37:15Pennsylvania Academy of Arts.
00:37:19I see I shall have to confess.
00:37:21Yes, I'm a painter.
00:37:23Oh.
00:37:26Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
00:37:28How are you, sir?
00:37:30May I inconvenience you, Mr. Smith?
00:37:32Oh, thanks.
00:37:35Oh, please.
00:37:39Were you on beach tonight?
00:37:41If you found my footprints, I dare say I was.
00:37:44A shocking bad pair of shoes, aren't they?
00:37:47What time were you on beach?
00:37:49My friend, you embarrass me.
00:37:53If you'll take a stroll down a certain street in this city,
00:37:56you'll see my watch hanging in a pawn shop window.
00:38:00I often look at it myself.
00:38:01No matter.
00:38:02You were on beach.
00:38:04I was. It's my temporary hotel.
00:38:06Hmm.
00:38:07But tonight when I got here, there was a light in the pavilion.
00:38:10And I heard voices inside.
00:38:12Voices?
00:38:13Whose voices?
00:38:15A man's and a woman's.
00:38:17I peeked in and got a good look at the man.
00:38:20There he is. That's the fellow.
00:38:22I haven't seen a ribbon like that since our ambassador invited me to dinner in Paris.
00:38:27You know, it was the most interesting...
00:38:28You heard the conversation?
00:38:29Yes. They were talking fast.
00:38:32What about?
00:38:34Well, I heard her tell him...
00:38:37Drop it!
00:38:44I can put an end to this investigation.
00:38:47I killed Sheila Fane.
00:38:49Please!
00:38:51You killed Sheila Fane?
00:38:54I did.
00:38:55For what reason?
00:38:58Wanted her to come back to me.
00:39:00I begged and pleaded with her.
00:39:02She wouldn't listen.
00:39:03She laughed at me.
00:39:05She drove me to it.
00:39:06She made me kill her.
00:39:08There you are. That clears me.
00:39:10I want to get that boat.
00:39:11I want to get away from here.
00:39:12Impossible!
00:39:13But I've got to go.
00:39:14Can't you understand?
00:39:15Do you realize what it means to remain here, listening to this talk about the girl I'd hope to marry?
00:39:19I'm very sorry, Mr. Janes, but you cannot leave at present.
00:39:30You say you left here four minutes past eight?
00:39:33Yes, I did.
00:39:35You had already killed Sheila Fane and were back at theater 20 minutes past eight?
00:39:40Yes, I told you all that.
00:39:41You have witnessed?
00:39:42Yes.
00:39:43Yet, at 8.12, Sheila Fane was seen alive and well.
00:39:49If you arrived back at theater at 8.20, it could not be possible for you to be here at
00:39:578.12.
00:39:58Journey takes 15 minutes.
00:40:00How do you know Miss Fane was alive at that time?
00:40:03Chinese cook, Wang, talked with deceased lady at 8.12 about lateness of dinner.
00:40:12Of all persons in this room, you are only one who could not have committed murder.
00:40:19Do you mean to say you're going to hold us all for developing?
00:40:22No, no, no.
00:40:23You may go, but you cannot leave Ireland without permission of police.
00:40:30You are all under unhappy suspicion.
00:40:33What rot?
00:40:34We can't all be guilty.
00:40:35Your theory is full of holes.
00:40:36It won't hold water.
00:40:38Sponge is full of holes.
00:40:39Sponge holds water.
00:40:41Oh, come on, Richard.
00:40:42Thanks for the pleasant evening.
00:40:44If I were a dose of poison, I'd give myself to you.
00:40:49Thank you so much.
00:40:54Gentlemen, you are two biggest liars in Honolulu.
00:41:01You may also go.
00:41:03I shall know where to find you when I want you.
00:41:06Of course.
00:41:06My address is Sandy Spot, Annie Beach, Honolulu.
00:41:17Why did you let Smith and Fyfe go?
00:41:20Between them, they hold a secret.
00:41:22The way to find Rabbit's residence is to turn Rabbit loose.
00:41:27And watch.
00:41:52And the murderer's name?
00:41:55Look.
00:41:56The way to speak.
00:42:07Always happens.
00:42:09When conscience tries to speak, telephone out of order.
00:42:24I know how fond you were of Sheila, but you're making a mistake.
00:42:28You're keeping something from Inspector Chan that you ought to tell him.
00:42:31What makes you say that?
00:42:32Well, I know you are.
00:42:33Well, I'm not.
00:42:35You don't know anything of the sort.
00:42:36How dare you say that?
00:42:42What about that emerald ring?
00:42:44The ring?
00:42:45Well, what about it?
00:42:46You had it on your finger.
00:42:48When Inspector Chan asked Anna about it, I saw you turn the stone so it wouldn't be seen.
00:42:52Where is it now?
00:42:53I haven't got it.
00:42:54I don't know anything about it.
00:42:56And I wish you'd please go home.
00:42:57Why?
00:42:58Because I'm tired.
00:42:59Very tired.
00:43:01All right.
00:43:01I'll go.
00:43:02But I'm coming back here tomorrow.
00:43:04This is the time in your life when you need advice from a good, sensible person.
00:43:08I know it, Jimmy.
00:43:10All right, then.
00:43:10I'll give it to you.
00:43:24Particle returns.
00:43:26Oh, darling.
00:43:29I knew you'd come back.
00:43:30Where have you been?
00:43:32No time for that, m'lady.
00:43:34I'm selling a picture.
00:43:36Wonderful.
00:43:37Then you can buy me new dresses and beads and bracelets and everything.
00:43:41Well, well, a few.
00:43:42Oh, and what picture?
00:43:44Yours.
00:43:45The one I gave you.
00:43:46Oh, no, no.
00:43:47You wouldn't take that away from me.
00:43:49I'll paint you another one.
00:43:50I'll paint you another one tomorrow.
00:43:52But how do you know he will like it?
00:43:53He'll buy it whether he likes it or not, to keep me from talking.
00:44:04What do you mean?
00:44:04What do you mean, coming to my hotel?
00:44:05I knew you'd want to see me.
00:44:07I didn't want to see you in a public place?
00:44:08A hotel where everybody knows me?
00:44:10You should have a better sense.
00:44:11I'm sorry, but you know, it's pretty important.
00:44:13Come over here.
00:44:14All right.
00:44:21I wish you wouldn't talk like that.
00:44:23I assure you, it isn't blackmail.
00:44:25It's merely that I thought you might welcome the opportunity of becoming a patron of the arts.
00:44:29If I refuse the honor?
00:44:32Then I shall feel it my duty to tell the police.
00:44:34When I was outside that pavilion window, I heard Sheila faint.
00:44:38Never mind.
00:44:40What's the price?
00:44:42I'm sorry.
00:44:43I hate to have to do this.
00:44:45It is my only chance of getting back to the mainland.
00:44:49Shall we say $500?
00:44:51$500?
00:44:52$500.
00:44:53Look here.
00:44:54You are not dealing with a millionaire.
00:44:56I am an actor on salary.
00:45:00I'll give you $100 now and $200 next week.
00:45:04That's my limit.
00:45:08Thanks.
00:45:30Look.
00:45:38Oh, dear.
00:45:39Get inside.
00:45:41Look.
00:45:42That's all right.
00:45:43Let me...
00:45:43I'm married.
00:45:44I'm married.
00:45:44Oh.
00:45:46Oh.
00:45:46Oh.
00:45:49Oh.
00:45:51Oh, dear.
00:46:01Oh.
00:46:09Oh, class.
00:46:11So, you have found a report card from school at last.
00:46:15Eh?
00:46:18Hmm.
00:46:19Teachers say you are always at bottom of class.
00:46:23Can't you find a better place?
00:46:24No, Pop. All other places are taken.
00:46:28That is no excuse.
00:46:30Oh, baloney.
00:46:32Hmm?
00:46:33Baloney.
00:46:34Oh, Pop.
00:46:36Yes, Pop, tell us.
00:46:41I have told you all many times now, I do not know.
00:46:46Oh, we do not believe you.
00:46:48Oh, that is a lot of applesauce.
00:46:50Come on, Pop. Spill the beans.
00:46:53Yeah.
00:46:55Baloney applesauce beans.
00:46:57One would think you all took lessons in grocery store...
00:47:00...instead of at school.
00:47:05Good-bye, Mother.
00:47:06Good-bye, Father.
00:47:07Good-bye, Father.
00:47:15Good-bye, Father.
00:47:19I am gratefully retreating from bosom of honorable family...
00:47:23...to peace and quiet a murder case.
00:47:25You murdered this morning?
00:47:26No, same one.
00:47:40Where do we go first?
00:47:41To public library.
00:47:44Clue?
00:47:44No.
00:47:46But it might be well...
00:47:47...to know names of all persons...
00:47:50...mentioned in, uh, Denimeo murder.
00:47:53Case finished?
00:47:54Finished.
00:47:56Secret of this case harder to determine...
00:47:58...than Alley Cat's grandfather.
00:48:00Think they make a mistake?
00:48:01Who can say?
00:48:03Even wisest man...
00:48:04...sometimes mistakes Bumblebee for Blackberry.
00:48:08Oh.
00:48:09I got idea.
00:48:11What are you gonna do in the library?
00:48:12Read the newspapers.
00:48:14Huh.
00:48:15Think you're gonna catch him that way?
00:48:17Kashimo, I despair...
00:48:19...trying to make you a smart man.
00:48:21...soap and water never can change perfume of billy goat.
00:48:26Yes.
00:48:45Who asked for these files?
00:48:47You remember?
00:48:49A young woman.
00:48:51Ever see her before?
00:48:53No, she was a stranger.
00:48:54Can you describe?
00:48:57Well, she was young and very pretty.
00:49:00In fact, she was quite striking.
00:49:02I think I know.
00:49:04Possibly you could come with me for identification?
00:49:08Well, yes, I think so.
00:49:10Thank you so much.
00:49:18Yes, Inspector? This is the girl.
00:49:20You are sure?
00:49:22Absolutely.
00:49:22Thank you so much.
00:49:24You will kindly wait for me in ancient remnants of automobile.
00:49:31Why did you cut out pictures of Danny Mayo from library files?
00:49:35I didn't.
00:49:36You were in library this morning,
00:49:39asking for old files of Los Angeles Times.
00:49:43No, I wasn't.
00:49:45You very nice young lady making serious mistake.
00:49:49Please tell truth.
00:49:51Yes, I was in the library this morning.
00:49:53Why did you cut out pictures?
00:49:55I didn't.
00:49:56I didn't do that.
00:49:57Please believe me.
00:49:58Then why did you ask for Los Angeles Times?
00:50:01This morning someone sent me this.
00:50:24And then?
00:50:25Then I hurried to the library.
00:50:26But there wasn't a word about Chile in any of the articles.
00:50:32Please tell me.
00:50:34Did you leave files on table?
00:50:37Yes.
00:50:38Were all pictures of Danny Mayo in papers when you left?
00:50:41Yes, all of them.
00:50:41Uh-huh.
00:50:43Bright spark appears in darkness.
00:50:47Only a very clever man can bite pie without breaking crust.
00:50:52Julie, why don't you tell the inspector everything?
00:50:55Oh, Jimmy.
00:50:56There is more?
00:50:57Tell him.
00:50:58He'll find out anyway.
00:51:00Sheila's emerald ring isn't missing.
00:51:02I took it off her finger.
00:51:03Why?
00:51:05Because Danny Mayo's name was inside the van.
00:51:07And I took the pieces of the photograph, too.
00:51:10It was his picture.
00:51:11And, uh, why all this?
00:51:14Because all her life, Sheila kept her relations with Danny Mayo's secret.
00:51:18And now that she's dead, I didn't want them found out.
00:51:20Very kind thought, but have lost valuable time.
00:51:25I will keep this letter from friend.
00:51:28That means something.
00:51:29Now I'll bet you're on the right track, Inspector.
00:51:32Learn from Hen.
00:51:34Never boast about Egg until after Egg's birthday.
00:51:43There, now.
00:51:44Isn't it better to have that off your mind?
00:51:46Yes, Jimmy.
00:51:47You were right.
00:51:48Then suppose you listen to me for a while.
00:51:51Now that Sheila's gone, what are you going to do?
00:51:53I don't care.
00:51:54Somebody's got to care.
00:51:55So I've appointed myself for the job.
00:51:58Why don't you stay in Honolulu?
00:51:59Oh, not for the scenery.
00:52:01For a job.
00:52:02The tourist borough will furnish me with a secretary.
00:52:05I'm entitled to one, and you're it.
00:52:07Oh, Jimmy, you're sweet.
00:52:08But I couldn't stay in Honolulu.
00:52:13You're the only one.
00:52:26You're the only one.
00:52:28You're the only one.
00:52:30Yes.
00:52:35That is identical.
00:52:37Both written on the same machine.
00:52:40Thank you so much.
00:52:42Not at all.
00:52:45What?
00:52:45Suspicion.
00:52:46What are you talking about?
00:52:48Men in public library this morning.
00:52:50Tall men, dark men, sea men.
00:52:52Stop smoking cigarette.
00:52:54Tanavera will know someone been in his room.
00:53:02Can't smell now?
00:53:04Kashimo.
00:53:05Can cut off Monkey's tail, but he's still Monkey.
00:53:08Yes.
00:53:11Thank you so much.
00:53:12That's quite all right, Mr. Chan.
00:53:18Well, Inspector.
00:53:19Did you have any happy inspirations during the night?
00:53:22No. Nothing.
00:53:24Were you in public library this morning?
00:53:28No. No, I wasn't.
00:53:30Somebody, he cut out pictures.
00:53:33Danny Mayo from papers.
00:53:36Really?
00:53:37I can't imagine the motive for that.
00:53:39I can.
00:53:41Somebody afraid to let me see picture of Danny Mayo.
00:53:45Why?
00:53:57Pardon, please.
00:53:58You were so kind this morning.
00:54:00May I ask a few more questions?
00:54:02You certainly may.
00:54:04Will you sit down and have a cup of tea with us?
00:54:05No time.
00:54:06Thank you so much.
00:54:08This morning, you established absolutely perfect alibi for Tanavera.
00:54:13He was with you from before eight o'clock until half past last night?
00:54:18My oath upon that, sir.
00:54:20I believe implicitly you have proved utterly impossible for him to have committed murder.
00:54:27Then what more do you want to know?
00:54:29Father, don't get excited.
00:54:31I'm not excited.
00:54:32But you've got to be emphatic when you're dealing with policemen.
00:54:34Please.
00:54:35No offense.
00:54:36But this morning, you told me that Mr. Tanavera lived with you when he was a young man in Australia.
00:54:42He did.
00:54:43And a nice boy he was.
00:54:45Tanavera, very odd name.
00:54:47Was that what he called himself then?
00:54:49No, it was not.
00:54:51What name did he offer at time?
00:54:53Well, Mr. Shan, he asked us not to tell his real name.
00:54:57Why?
00:54:58He said he was done with it.
00:55:00And he asked that we think of him as Mr. Tanavera.
00:55:03This is a very serious matter.
00:55:06You are honorable, law-abiding citizens.
00:55:09Law needs your help.
00:55:11We must know a real name.
00:55:15Well, you know this, this is an awfully difficult situation.
00:55:18I think Mr. Shan's right, father.
00:55:20We did enough when we swore to his alibi.
00:55:23And if you don't tell, I will.
00:55:25Why should Arthur be ashamed of his real name?
00:55:27Thank you, madam.
00:55:29Dain to mention name, please?
00:55:31In Australia, his name was Arthur Male.
00:55:34Male?
00:55:36He told you this morning he was alone when he came to us.
00:55:39I can't think why he said that.
00:55:41It's not true.
00:55:42He and his brother came to us together.
00:55:44His brother?
00:55:46Yes, of course.
00:55:47His brother, Danny Mill.
00:55:49Please.
00:55:51Does he look like brother?
00:55:53Oh, yes.
00:55:54Very much.
00:55:55Ah.
00:55:56Pictures in newspapers.
00:55:58Yes.
00:56:07Please excuse me.
00:56:14You are Mr. Feist?
00:56:16Yes.
00:56:17You actor in theater?
00:56:18Yes.
00:56:19Then who is you?
00:56:20Why did you shoot him?
00:56:21Shoot him?
00:56:22Shoot whom?
00:56:22Artist.
00:56:23Mr. Smith.
00:56:23You are afraid you have to pay more money, so you shoot him.
00:56:26Are you crazy?
00:56:27I don't know what you are talking about.
00:56:28Police!
00:56:28Police!
00:56:29Murderer!
00:56:30Murderer!
00:56:32Murderer!
00:56:34One moment, please.
00:56:36What's the matter here?
00:56:37Last night he tried to kill Smith.
00:56:39Oh, she's mad, Inspector.
00:56:40You know that he's in sword.
00:56:41Smith?
00:56:42Shot?
00:56:43Where is he now?
00:56:44He's in my house.
00:56:45He's dying.
00:56:46And he told me this is the man that shot him.
00:56:48We must go to him at once.
00:56:49You will come too, Mr. Feist.
00:56:51I have nothing to do with it.
00:56:52Then you compel me to make a rest?
00:56:55All right.
00:56:56All right?
00:57:02Well, you got me, didn't you?
00:57:04Perhaps you were right.
00:57:07But was the painting really as bad as that?
00:57:11What makes you think I would do such a thing?
00:57:14I don't blame you.
00:57:16Perhaps I'd have done the same thing in your place.
00:57:20But what does it matter?
00:57:29I'm shoving off, Inspector.
00:57:33And you might hang an innocent person.
00:57:37So I'm going to tell you the truth.
00:57:41You can't help anyone, don't?
00:57:44I was at the window when this man was talking to Sheila Feig.
00:57:49And I heard her tell him that she'd just confessed a crime to a man named Tana Vero.
00:58:04What crime?
00:58:08She told him that she was the person who killed Denny Mayo.
00:58:20Is this true?
00:58:25Yes.
00:58:27He told her for the first time that he already had a wife.
00:58:32That he married a young girl in England.
00:58:34A girl who was desperately in love with him.
00:58:37He had sent money to her to come to him.
00:58:41The bitter quarrel that followed, Sheila shot him.
00:58:46So, it was Sheila Feig who killed Denny Mayo.
00:58:54Why did you tell me last night that you killed her?
00:58:58I thought for a moment I could save her memory from this.
00:59:05Then who did kill Sheila Feig?
00:59:08I don't know.
00:59:11Do you know?
00:59:14I don't know.
00:59:17I went away.
00:59:20I came back later.
00:59:22She was on the floor.
00:59:26There was a diamond pin lying near her.
00:59:32I was broke, desperate.
00:59:36I took it.
00:59:39Give it to him, Luana.
00:59:51Part of pin missing.
00:59:55And here's something for you, Mr. Feig.
01:00:00Something the native doctor extracted.
01:00:05A bullet.
01:00:06Yes.
01:00:09A bit of penetrating criticism from a connoisseur of art.
01:00:34Mr. Feig, you are under arrest.
01:00:40Mr. Feig, you are under arrest.
01:00:48But, Charlie, the newspapers are running me ragged.
01:00:52Now, you're working on the Sheila Fane case,
01:00:54and you arrest a man named Fife for the murder of Smith.
01:00:57What are you trying to do to me?
01:00:59I want an arrest on the Fane case, and Tanivero's the man I want.
01:01:03Tanivero, not man you want. He did not commit murder.
01:01:06Oh, he didn't, eh? He discovered the Fane woman murdered his brother,
01:01:10and four hours later, she's found dead.
01:01:12What about alibi of McMaster's?
01:01:14Ouch.
01:01:16There is one more clue left.
01:01:20Heel that crushed orchids and broke this pin may furnish evidence.
01:01:27I am going to Sheila Fane's house.
01:01:29Well, Charlie, I'll give you one more chance.
01:01:32But I am going with you.
01:01:34Okay.
01:02:15The person who threw this evidently thinks a long life is only extra time for more troubles.
01:02:21Yes, but where did it come from?
01:02:27Did you ring, sir?
01:02:30No.
01:02:36Pardon.
01:02:37Mistake.
01:02:39Thank you so much.
01:02:48Please wait.
01:02:49Wait. Nothing. You want to get us all killed?
01:02:52I'm going to nail that bird now.
01:02:54No.
01:02:55We nail, all right.
01:02:57The person who tried to extinguish me...
01:03:00does not want scratches to be found.
01:03:08Pin scratches.
01:03:14The broken piece of this pin is still in rubber heel.
01:03:26The man who sat in this chair last night was a murderer.
01:03:32Charlie, I think you're right.
01:03:34Shall I call them in?
01:03:36All in?
01:03:36Yes.
01:03:37I have everyone who was here last night.
01:03:40One moment.
01:03:41Fix the chair.
01:03:42Yes.
01:03:49Don't you see, dear? There's nothing else to do.
01:03:55Stay in Honolulu and marry me.
01:03:56Oh, I don't know, Jimmy. You see...
01:03:58Oh, come on.
01:03:59Just this once.
01:04:11In conclusion, must ask you all to imaginary feast.
01:04:14Enter, please.
01:04:15Look here.
01:04:16You can count me out of this hocus-pocus right now.
01:04:19Listen, Mr. Ballou.
01:04:20I asked you all to come here this afternoon as a personal favor to me.
01:04:24All right, if that's the way you feel about it.
01:04:26Will you be seated, please, in chairs where you sat last night at coffee?
01:04:32I can't remember where I did sit.
01:04:34I do. I sat right over here.
01:04:37Well, I sat next to you, dear.
01:04:38I know I sat next to you.
01:04:40I suppose I sat next to you.
01:04:41Just like that, you dear.
01:04:44I sat here, I believe.
01:04:49No. No, I sat here. I remember.
01:05:00What did I tell you?
01:05:03No.
01:05:05There is some mistake.
01:05:07Wait.
01:05:08Wait.
01:05:08Nothing.
01:05:09Make the arrest now.
01:05:11Please.
01:05:12Just one moment.
01:05:14Has to be mistaken.
01:05:17Yes, sir?
01:05:23Think clearly.
01:05:24Last night, after guests left, other people sat at this table?
01:05:33Yes, sir.
01:05:34We'd had no dinner, so we just sat down for a bit of coffee.
01:05:39We needed it badly.
01:05:41We?
01:05:41Who?
01:05:43Miss Anna and I, sir.
01:05:46Where is she now?
01:05:47Will you get her, please?
01:05:51Just a moment.
01:05:55Anna.
01:05:56Keep seated, Mr. Tanimero.
01:05:58Oh, sorry.
01:05:59I prefer to stand.
01:06:08Last night, uh, you had coffee here at this table with Jessup?
01:06:13Yes, sir.
01:06:15Where did you sit?
01:06:17Why, I sat right here.
01:06:19Please excuse.
01:06:21Must make odd requests.
01:06:25Will you be good enough, please, to remove right shoe?
01:06:30Why should you?
01:06:33Well, certainly.
01:06:59You are all witnesses.
01:07:05Last night, when you stamped orchids on the feet,
01:07:09you committed important blunder.
01:07:15You killed Sheila Payne.
01:07:18No.
01:07:19No, no!
01:07:20No!
01:07:27Yes.
01:07:28I did.
01:07:30Anna, don't be a fool.
01:07:31Find it out.
01:07:32I warn you that whatever you say will be used against you as evidence.
01:07:37Why did you kill her?
01:07:41Because I am...
01:07:43Mrs. Denny Mayo.
01:07:45Anna, don't!
01:07:45Oh, what does it matter now?
01:07:47What difference does it make?
01:07:50What difference can anything make?
01:07:55What else do you want to know?
01:07:59Then it was not by coincidence that you were working for Sheila Payne as maid?
01:08:06No.
01:08:07Inspector.
01:08:09I am Arthur Mayo, Denny's brother.
01:08:13From the first I suspected Miss Payne.
01:08:16It plagues Anna here to watch her.
01:08:21Oh.
01:08:23When did Mr. Tanavaro tell you that Sheila Payne murdered Denny Mayo?
01:08:31Yesterday evening.
01:08:33We were going to wait until her dinner party was over,
01:08:36and then have her arrested.
01:08:38I was sure I could control myself that long.
01:08:43Then...
01:08:43some flowers came.
01:08:45The orchids.
01:08:47And when I took them into her,
01:08:49right in front of me,
01:08:51she seized Denny's picture and tore it.
01:08:53Tore it viciously into bits.
01:09:00That may seem like a little thing to you,
01:09:03but to me,
01:09:04it was like killing Denny all over again.
01:09:09Later.
01:09:11When she went into the pavilion,
01:09:14you followed her.
01:09:17Oh, don't ask me to tell you the rest.
01:09:25Inspector.
01:09:26Inspector.
01:09:27I left my profession in London
01:09:28and went to Hollywood to find out who murdered my brother.
01:09:33But Anna and I had never intended to do more
01:09:36than hand him over to the law.
01:09:40I didn't mean to kill him.
01:09:43I'm sorry.
01:09:46My mistake was in telling this poor child last night.
01:09:50Now that she has confessed,
01:09:52I want to share with her equally,
01:09:55whatever fate lies ahead.
01:10:01Very sorry, Mrs. Mayo,
01:10:03but you are under arrest.
01:10:05No, you don't.
01:10:06Stand back.
01:10:07You're never going to take her.
01:10:09She's coming with me.
01:10:09Come on.
01:10:11Oh, no, no.
01:10:12Please don't mind.
01:10:13No.
01:10:13I got them.
01:10:15Give me a gun, please.
01:10:17And you.
01:10:22This is gun that shot Smith.
01:10:24Yes, I killed him because he knew too much.
01:10:26And you know too much.
01:10:27Nobody would have known anything about it
01:10:29if it hadn't been for you.
01:10:30I'm sorry I didn't get you with that knife.
01:10:35True.
01:10:35True.
01:10:35True.
01:10:36Too late.
01:10:37Save for next case.
