00:00:01The End
00:00:40The End
00:01:04The End
00:01:29All right, snobs, I'm a public servant.
00:01:35The End
00:01:46The End
00:02:09I'll make you sweat.
00:02:28Hi, Johnny.
00:02:29Stewart speaking. Begin.
00:02:31Pull yourself up a block and get your head chopped off.
00:02:33Neckties hutted and the five alarm walls.
00:02:35Yes, madam, this is the editor.
00:02:37Yes, this is Mr. Stewart.
00:02:39Up a dime.
00:02:41Neckties lifting it, eh?
00:02:42I guess the bookie business ain't so profitable.
00:02:44He makes up his losses when he loses on the horses.
00:02:47Yes, madam. Thank you.
00:02:49Good night, madam.
00:02:51I'll bet madam told him where he could go.
00:02:53It'll cost you ten cents.
00:02:55Greetings and salutations.
00:02:57How's life on the subway circuit?
00:03:00Madam says she has inside information.
00:03:02Ronnie Melville was trapped in that fire on East 16th Street a couple of hours ago.
00:03:07Four unidentified gents burnt to a crisp.
00:03:10Melville toast.
00:03:11Ah, that's good.
00:03:13What did I tell you? He stole it with a pair of fours.
00:03:15Swanson, you better check with the coroner.
00:03:17Madam might know what she's talking about.
00:03:19What's the matter with the prints?
00:03:20You got a special dispensation from the publisher he can get in anytime he likes?
00:03:24You let Johnny alone.
00:03:27He's a sick man.
00:03:29Hasn't been home for two weeks.
00:03:31Now he's afraid to go.
00:03:32Go on, jump.
00:03:34Jump, he says.
00:03:35In this heat, I can hardly walk, and he says, jump.
00:03:41Human beings are strange, complex things.
00:03:44Yeah, yeah, people are nuts.
00:03:46Come on, dear, look hard.
00:03:47Oh, three-handed ain't so hot.
00:03:50Hi, Doc.
00:03:51Hello, Doc. Take a hand.
00:03:52Come on, sit in.
00:03:53The deck's loaded with aces.
00:03:55Not tonight, sweetheart.
00:03:56I've got a little homework to do in the morgue, if you don't mind.
00:03:58What would you cops do without us newsmapper guys?
00:04:02Great kid.
00:04:03Hey, Johnny.
00:04:04Are you quick or are you dead?
00:04:06I ain't quick.
00:04:08You want to take a hand in this game?
00:04:10No, thanks.
00:04:12And you don't have to shout.
00:04:15The guy's digging his own grave.
00:04:17Yeah, it happens that way.
00:04:20The guy will make a mistake.
00:04:22Then he'll get in deeper and deeper, and first thing you know, a mountain falls on him.
00:04:27Remember Tony Cochran?
00:04:29Shh, Doc, I'll hear you.
00:04:31Sure you remember Tony.
00:04:33You ought to.
00:04:34You covered the case with me.
00:04:36Oh, yeah.
00:04:37Yeah, during Prohibition.
00:04:40Sure, I reme-
00:04:43Tony Cochran, there was a guy that loved his home, his wife, and his kid.
00:04:50How he loved his kid.
00:04:54That fixed it.
00:04:56I ought to know better than to use gun cleaner on roller skates.
00:04:59You'd better learn better than to go into my gun case for anything.
00:05:09You, uh, working late tonight?
00:05:12Yep.
00:05:13Anything, uh, special?
00:05:15Yep.
00:05:16Special.
00:05:18You want I should, uh, come along to cover the getaway?
00:05:23What's the matter, Doc?
00:05:25Something troubling you?
00:05:26Gee whiz, I hardly ever see you anymore.
00:05:31Yeah, I know, kid.
00:05:32It's tough.
00:05:34You know what?
00:05:36What?
00:05:37Georgie, my friend from school.
00:05:40His pop went away.
00:05:41I told him when you weren't so busy, you could be his pop, too.
00:05:45Then he could go fishing with us, like, like we used to.
00:05:49Sure.
00:05:50We'll take him along.
00:05:53Pa?
00:05:56Yeah?
00:05:56I'm scared maybe you won't come back like Georgie's pop.
00:06:00He gets awful lonesome.
00:06:06Don't worry, kid.
00:06:09I'm not going away and leaving.
00:06:11Ever.
00:06:13You just take care of the beefs at your end, and we'll have this case cleared up in no time.
00:06:18I gotcha.
00:06:19You're the inside man on this job.
00:06:21Inside bed.
00:06:24Remember what I told you.
00:06:26Check.
00:06:30Keep your nose clean.
00:06:35Check.
00:06:40Check.
00:06:42Check.
00:06:42Check.
00:06:43Check.
00:06:44Check.
00:06:52Check.
00:06:55Out again tonight?
00:06:57Of course.
00:06:58I told you, Martha.
00:07:02Trying to get rich quick?
00:07:05Yeah.
00:07:06Well, that's what you get for marrying a cop.
00:07:08I love a cop.
00:07:10I'd like a husband, too, for a change.
00:07:13Check.
00:07:15Check.
00:07:19Well, I've got to be going.
00:07:24Good night, Tony.
00:07:45Keep your nose clean.
00:07:48What a kid.
00:07:53Good night.
00:07:59Good night.
00:08:06Good night.
00:08:07Good night.
00:08:11Good night.
00:08:12Good night.
00:08:13Good night.
00:08:30This will only take a few minutes.
00:08:32Tony.
00:08:33What?
00:08:34Kiss me before you go.
00:08:35I told you, I'd be right back.
00:08:37Kiss me.
00:08:39What do you want, blood?
00:08:40Yes, blood.
00:08:42Don't boil over yet, Jill.
00:08:44It ain't time yet.
00:08:45We got a little talking to do.
00:09:21Hiya, slug.
00:09:22What's a bad word?
00:09:47What shift you working?
00:09:50Days.
00:09:51Stand by Monday and Thursday.
00:09:54You put in an average 12, 14 hours off time a week for nearly a month.
00:09:58Mostly nights.
00:09:59How come?
00:10:02I've been working on the Tully case.
00:10:04We crossed that one off some time ago.
00:10:06I ran into a new angle.
00:10:07I'll give you a report on it in about a week or so.
00:10:12That's fine, Cochran.
00:10:14Only don't overdo it.
00:10:16Try to get a little more sleep.
00:10:18Thanks, Cap'n.
00:10:22Thanks, Cap'n.
00:10:31If anybody calls, I'm working, Oli.
00:10:33I'll check with you later.
00:10:35Anybody?
00:10:36Anybody.
00:10:40Hiya, slug.
00:10:41What's the bad word?
00:10:44There goes a very busy man.
00:11:03There goes a little bit.
00:11:05Hey, what's the bad word?
00:11:06You are good.
00:11:07Come on.
00:11:07Come on.
00:11:07Come on.
00:11:08Come on.
00:11:11Come on.
00:11:25Well, this is it, kid.
00:11:27What do you mean?
00:11:29The end of the line, baby.
00:11:31This is where I get off.
00:11:33Did she find out about us?
00:11:34Is that why?
00:11:36Nobody found out anything.
00:11:38It's just no good for me.
00:11:41We both had up to zero.
00:11:44So that's it.
00:11:46Yeah, that's it.
00:11:48I'm sick of the whole crazy mess.
00:11:51Sick of playing games.
00:11:53At the office.
00:11:55With my kid.
00:11:56I shouldn't be playing those games with my kid.
00:11:59Afraid your little angel will find out about it?
00:12:01She and that sweet little kid of yours.
00:12:04I would have quit long ago.
00:12:07You're worse than blood poisoning.
00:12:09To hear you talk, you'd think I was crawling after you.
00:12:12I don't need you.
00:12:13I can buy and sell you.
00:12:16I don't know why I bother seeing you.
00:12:18You don't know why?
00:12:20I'll tell you.
00:12:21You're rotten rich through and through.
00:12:23Like something they say with the Ritz, only it's been laying out in the sun too long.
00:12:26That's right, Tony.
00:12:27You're not my kind.
00:12:28You're the clean cut type.
00:12:30Little Tootsie Woodsy loves her great big stupid peasant.
00:12:34Yeah, for all your dough, like a ton of bricks.
00:12:37How picturesque.
00:12:38And you were totally unresponsive.
00:12:41You're like a sickness.
00:12:42I was sick.
00:12:42No, Tony.
00:12:43It was a fever.
00:12:44It's a nightmare with convulsions.
00:12:46No more fever.
00:12:46You can go back to that little rat race of a home of yours.
00:12:49Never mind what I'm going back to.
00:12:50Pretty little house, pretty little wife, pretty little brat.
00:12:53Shut up.
00:13:03You'll never get away from me, Tony.
00:13:05I won't let you.
00:13:07You're like me.
00:13:08There's a meanness inside of you that has to hurt or be hurt.
00:13:13We were meant for each other, Tony.
00:13:38Yes, they didn't see us.
00:13:41It's a man and a woman.
00:13:43I guess they came down and looked at the ocean, too.
00:13:57Tony, no.
00:13:58Tony, no.
00:13:59Stop.
00:14:00Tony, stop.
00:14:04Stop.
00:14:04Tony, please stop.
00:14:06Will there be a scandal?
00:14:07Your wife, she'll leave you.
00:14:08You'll lose the kid.
00:14:09You, uh, working wife tonight?
00:14:12Out again tonight?
00:14:14Out again tonight?
00:14:16Maybe you won't come back like Jodie tonight.
00:14:18Won't come back?
00:14:20Won't come back?
00:14:21Won't come back?
00:14:56He killed her.
00:14:58Beat her brains out with a tire iron.
00:15:02He got away.
00:15:04You're not going to say anything, Tony.
00:15:06Let the cops find out for themselves.
00:15:08I let him get away.
00:15:09You had to, Tony, for me and for you, too.
00:15:11You don't get it.
00:15:13She's just a kid in there.
00:15:14He killed her.
00:15:16I'm a cop.
00:15:16I didn't even try to stop him.
00:15:19Tony, I want to see her.
00:15:20I want to see her, Tony.
00:15:22Shut up.
00:15:22I want to look at her.
00:15:23Shut up.
00:15:24I want to look at her.
00:15:49You find a clue to the Tully case and the funny papers, eh, Tony?
00:15:53Oh, I was just reading for laughs.
00:15:57I don't know.
00:15:58You weren't laughing.
00:15:59I think maybe you work too hard, eh, Tony?
00:16:02Every night.
00:16:03What does Martha say?
00:16:06Don't worry about me, Ollie.
00:16:07I'm okay.
00:16:08Sure, you're okay.
00:16:10You used to need a rest, huh?
00:16:11I told you, I'm okay.
00:16:23Homicide.
00:16:23Strom speaking.
00:16:26Yeah.
00:16:26Wait a minute.
00:16:27Give me a pencil, Tony.
00:16:29Yeah, yeah.
00:16:31Yeah.
00:16:32What time?
00:16:34Uh-huh.
00:16:36How you spell it?
00:16:38Yeah, yeah.
00:16:39Okay.
00:16:40You used to leave everything alone.
00:16:42We come right down.
00:16:44Yeah.
00:16:45Come on, Tony.
00:16:46We got work to do.
00:17:00Pardon me, sir, but do you perceive the faint aroma of sudden and violent death?
00:17:04I don't know.
00:17:05Stick around.
00:17:06Your move if you can find one, wise guy.
00:17:10By Highway Patrolman Dickstein, 1328 Mitchell Beach substation.
00:17:15Kids found it about 35 minutes ago.
00:17:18Head bashed in.
00:17:19Name on registration slip.
00:17:22Elaine B. L. A. N. Blanchett.
00:17:251164 Falcon Drive.
00:17:28What'd you say that name was?
00:17:29Elaine Blanchett.
00:17:31Hmm.
00:17:32Could be L. D. Blanchett's daughter.
00:17:34Or somebody using her car.
00:17:36Was the car smashed?
00:17:37No.
00:17:40Did you call the coroner?
00:17:4216 called the district coroner out there.
00:17:44Do you need crumbs for the press?
00:17:45Stay on the phone.
00:17:46Call Fanneman.
00:17:47Tell him to come down here and stand by.
00:17:48Come on, Tony.
00:17:50Get me Fanneman.
00:17:52You leave him used like that, Max, and you got him beat.
00:17:55Listen, Oli.
00:17:55Oli, what's the dope?
00:17:56Dead woman off highway near Mitchell Beach.
00:17:59Maybe murdered.
00:18:00Maybe Elaine Blanchett.
00:18:02Thanks.
00:18:02Give me that telephone.
00:18:29All right, Mike.
00:18:30Oh, but I'll get you on the other side.
00:18:30Come on, Ty.
00:18:31Come on, baby.
00:18:31Come on, Ty.
00:18:32Come on, Ty.
00:18:32All right.
00:18:33Come on, Ty.
00:18:33J.M. Mops, Captain. J.M. Mops.
00:18:34I examined the cadaver, careful not to disturb anything, of course.
00:18:37She's been dead about, oh, I should say, from 10 to 14 hours.
00:18:41Skull crushed like an eggshell by repeated blows with a blunt instrument.
00:18:44Terrible. Terrible.
00:18:46Come on, Tony.
00:18:48Time to go to work.
00:18:51Yeah. Yeah, let's get going.
00:19:07Ain't that something? She must have been a pretty little girl.
00:19:11Plenty of prints on the dash. Maybe on the handle of her purse.
00:19:17Looks like some rings have been torn off her fingers. They're bruised.
00:19:21There's no money or nothing left in the pocketbook. Not a dime.
00:19:31Hey, mister. Me and my friend found her, mister. We found the body. Ain't there a reward or something?
00:19:38Uh, you didn't touch anything, did you?
00:19:40Oh, no, sir. I know better than that. I'm a junior G-man.
00:19:46That's fine.
00:19:53Here comes the meat wagon.
00:20:06Come over here, Tony.
00:20:16There's the first tire track that crosses the convertibles.
00:20:19And it looks like a brand-new balloon tire track.
00:20:22And look.
00:20:24There's a fist-in-shaped cut in it.
00:20:26You better get the plaster and take an impression.
00:20:29Yes, sir.
00:20:39Hi, Ole.
00:20:40Howdy, Gumfoot.
00:20:40You got any leads, Ole?
00:20:41Look this way, gentlemen.
00:20:45Max called me.
00:20:46And we beat him out with an extra.
00:20:48It's the Blanchard gal, all right.
00:20:49I called her house and she hasn't been home all night.
00:20:52You never make a good detective.
00:20:55You used to know the reporter, after all.
00:20:57Yeah.
00:20:58Look.
00:20:58Taken about a year ago at the horse show.
00:21:01Mm-hmm.
00:21:02Yeah.
00:21:02Could be.
00:21:03Her pup's on his way out here.
00:21:05Any angles?
00:21:06Any motive?
00:21:08I guess the captain thinks it's a robbery.
00:21:10Yeah?
00:21:11Do you?
00:21:12What do you think, Tony?
00:21:22Oh, boy.
00:21:26Some of you seem to think that robbery as a motive is too easy.
00:21:30Mm-hmm.
00:21:32Maybe it is.
00:21:33Maybe it ain't.
00:21:35She'd been drinking.
00:21:37She had about $200 in cash and somewhere around $12,000 in jewelry on her.
00:21:42She could have been driving by herself and picked up a hitchhiker.
00:21:45Someone could easily have seen that jewelry in a bar, someplace where she stopped and followed her.
00:21:50Sure, Chief.
00:21:51You're right.
00:21:51She could have...
00:21:53She...
00:21:54Anyway, there was another car down there last night.
00:21:57It had a regal balloon tire on one of its rear wheels with a big cut in it.
00:22:02There probably isn't a chance in the world of tracing it unless it belonged to one of Miss Blanchard's friends.
00:22:07But take a crack at it anyway, Foley.
00:22:21Andy, here's a list of the ice.
00:22:22Give copies of the pawn shop detail and check with some of your fence friends.
00:22:27We've got some swell fingerprints and at least two sets that aren't hers.
00:22:32Some on the dashboard and door handle and some on the clasp of her handbag.
00:22:36We haven't been able to match any of these in our own bureau and we sent photo sets to Washington.
00:22:43Unfortunately, there was nothing on the tire iron. Not a print.
00:22:46Did Miss Blanchard booze much, Captain?
00:22:49Her best friend, Miss... Miss Myra Laird, said she'd been acting up for the past several weeks.
00:22:56Drinking a lot and half hysterical most of the time.
00:22:59Hey, that sounds like maybe some guy...
00:23:01Miss Laird thinks maybe she'd been seeing somebody.
00:23:04And since she was so undercover about it, it'd probably be a married man.
00:23:08Yeah, that would used about add up if maybe she was putting the pressure on some gent.
00:23:14Tusco, I want you to check this possibility with the Blanchard's servants and all her friends.
00:23:20Here's a partial list to begin with.
00:23:22Give a copy of it to Strum.
00:23:25The first thing in the morning, Cochran, if we haven't heard from Washington,
00:23:29I want you to go over to her bank and take a gander at her statement.
00:23:34Cancel checks for the month. You might pick up something.
00:23:37Yes, Captain.
00:23:39That'll be all for now. Get to it.
00:23:44You wouldn't hit a guy on the nose for trying to be a friend, would you?
00:23:49What's eating you?
00:23:51Maybe I'm just a dumb cop.
00:23:53But whatever's bothering you, Tony, believe me, it ain't worth it.
00:24:12Yes, Cochran. I... I wondered if you wanted me to go on with the Tully case or...
00:24:19Drop it for a few days. Nothing's as important as this right now.
00:24:24Yes, sir.
00:24:26Then robbery is still our best bet.
00:24:28Uh-huh.
00:24:28Still no love angle?
00:24:30Not yet.
00:24:30You can always write in your own, just like always.
00:24:33Sure, use your imagination.
00:24:35She was a she, and the murderer was a he.
00:24:37Now ain't that romantic.
00:24:39Say, Willie, you making enough copies of that so I can have one?
00:24:42Uh-huh.
00:25:25여러 razor
00:25:26One moment, please.
00:25:28It's for Mrs. Merrill, sir.
00:25:30It's probably Mr. Haskins. We're hours late.
00:25:33Hello?
00:25:34Hello? Hello, Maury? Hello? Hello?
00:25:51We were disconnected. It's probably Maury.
00:25:54You realize, my dear, that we're very late?
00:25:56I'm sorry, darling.
00:26:22I'm sorry.
00:26:25Oh, Tony, I'm so glad you called.
00:26:28I read the papers about that poor girl,
00:26:30and I figured you'd be out in the case all night.
00:26:32It's been pretty rough on you, hasn't it, monkey face?
00:26:35Oh, Tony, I love you so much.
00:26:37I don't mind that you have to work.
00:26:39It's just that I miss you so.
00:26:41I know, baby. I know.
00:26:43Where's Doc?
00:26:45Oh, at the movies?
00:26:47Well, look, I thought maybe I'd eat home,
00:26:50but now it's even better.
00:26:53Maybe I can take you out like I was dating you.
00:26:58I guess I must be like a stranger to you.
00:27:01Oh, Tony, you big dope.
00:27:05Oh, well, I'll have to call Mrs. Wallace and tell her I won't eat there.
00:27:08I was so sure you wouldn't be coming home.
00:27:11What?
00:27:12Oh, you know Mrs. Wallace. She wouldn't care.
00:27:15No, go ahead. I want you to go.
00:27:17You made the date, didn't you?
00:27:18But, Tony, but honestly, but you just said that I...
00:27:23Forget it, will you?
00:27:25I told you to forget it.
00:27:29Yeah.
00:27:31Okay.
00:27:34Uh...
00:27:34What time are they picking you up?
00:27:38Uh-huh.
00:27:40What time will you be getting back?
00:27:45Yeah.
00:27:47All right.
00:27:48All right.
00:27:49Have a good time.
00:28:04In a min...
00:28:05In a minute!
00:28:17So my theory is, this dame, she says to this fella, she's gonna call a copper.
00:28:23And this fella can't stand still for that.
00:28:26So he conks her, see?
00:28:28He wants to make it look like a heist, see?
00:28:31So he clums the jewels and scramps fast.
00:28:34See?
00:28:35You sound used like a detective story again, Mike.
00:28:38Even, Lieutenant.
00:28:40What'll it be?
00:28:41Port of milk.
00:28:41Four glasses of port of milk.
00:28:44Don't you go home anymore, Tony?
00:28:46Sure. I just stopped by for a glass of bed.
00:28:48Find anything interesting on the list?
00:28:51What's on your mind, Ollie?
00:28:53If you got something to say, spill it.
00:28:55I don't like this pussyfooting around.
00:28:57We've been friends for a pretty good long time, Tony.
00:29:01I used to want to know how you make out.
00:29:03Don't be such a good friend to me.
00:29:09I'm okay.
00:29:17How are you making out?
00:29:20I wanted to tell you about that.
00:29:22You know them tire tracks?
00:29:25I ain't so sure that one was a Regal.
00:29:27It could use this easy, be a carry.
00:29:30Yeah.
00:29:33Well, I gotta be going.
00:29:36How's Doc?
00:29:38Fine.
00:29:39And Marta?
00:29:40Fine, thanks.
00:29:42Well, I'll see you in the morning.
00:29:45Good night, Mike.
00:29:46Good night, Mr. Coughlin.
00:29:49You know, you don't look so good lately.
00:29:54No.
00:29:55Not so good.
00:30:19I'm good.
00:30:21I thought you weren't coming back until 10 o'clock.
00:30:24I was tired.
00:30:25What on earth are you doing in the dark?
00:30:28What do you think I'm doing?
00:30:30I'm changing the tire out of flat.
00:30:33I'm sorry, darling.
00:30:43What's the matter with the light?
00:30:46It's busted. Don't touch it!
00:30:53I told you it was busted.
00:30:55I got a shock from it before.
00:31:20I got a shock from it.
00:31:41It was a loose wire. I fixed it.
00:31:45Tony! Don't touch me!
00:31:48I'm... I'm all dirty.
00:31:58It's a funny thing about the capacity guys like Tony have for hurting the people they love the best.
00:32:05He was a swell guy. A sweller guy you'd never want to meet.
00:32:09But he had to go and get himself all twisted up.
00:32:12Some guy's got a talent for it.
00:32:14Talent? Say, this guy was a genius.
00:32:18Come on, Stu. Make with the words.
00:32:24Tony came from the wrong side of the tracks.
00:32:26Had to fight his way up.
00:32:29Maybe that's why he was always fighting.
00:32:32Fighting himself...
00:32:33...and fighting her.
00:32:50What are you doing here?
00:32:52I hope I'm not inconveniencing you, Mrs. Merrill.
00:32:54You no doubt heard of the unfortunate death of Elaine Blanchard.
00:32:57I have a list of her friends and your name appeared on it.
00:33:01Just a routine check-up.
00:33:02What is it, my dear?
00:33:03Oh, this young man is from headquarters.
00:33:05He's checking on poor Elaine's friends.
00:33:07Oh, a dreadful thing.
00:33:08Of course, if we can help.
00:33:09It's hard to believe such a nice girl.
00:33:12Haven't I met you before?
00:33:13Yes, sir. I investigated a burglary here about a year ago.
00:33:16That was before I was assigned to the homicide detail.
00:33:19Oh, of course, of course.
00:33:20Certainly you remember him, dear.
00:33:21He's the nice young man I was so taken with.
00:33:24Indeed, indeed.
00:33:25Now, what can we do for you, Lieutenant, uh...
00:33:27Uh, Cochran.
00:33:27Uh, Lieutenant Cochran.
00:33:28Uh, just a few routine questions.
00:33:30Sit down, Lieutenant.
00:33:35Uh, when did you see her last?
00:33:37Miss Blanchard, I mean.
00:33:38Oh, not for ages.
00:33:40It was a fault in reception, wasn't it, dear?
00:33:42There were hundreds of people there.
00:33:44Two weeks ago, Saturday night.
00:33:45She seemed so happy.
00:33:46I'm sorry, but I'd hoped to be at the office early this morning.
00:33:49An appointment, you know?
00:33:50Oh, certainly. It was just routine.
00:33:52That's all right, darling. You run along.
00:33:54I'm sure I can answer all of Lieutenant Cochran's questions.
00:33:57If we run into any difficulty, I'll call you at the office.
00:34:00Why, certainly. Be more than happy.
00:34:02You can reach me anytime.
00:34:04Goodbye, dear.
00:34:11Goodbye, dear.
00:34:11Yes, yes, yes, of course. Uh, anything at all, Lieutenant. Uh, just call. Goodbye, dear. Goodbye.
00:34:17Goodbye.
00:34:23What's the idea of putting on the act?
00:34:26Mix me a drink, Tony.
00:34:29I'd like to mix you a drink.
00:34:33Wouldn't you?
00:34:40Isn't it a little early for you to be drinking?
00:34:42Oh, no.
00:34:43This is kind of a celebration by way of a reunion.
00:34:47Isn't it, Tony?
00:34:49I thought you said we were through.
00:34:51I'm here on business.
00:34:54Of course, darling.
00:34:56Won't you sit beside me?
00:35:01Why not?
00:35:04We're old friends.
00:35:06Here's to old friends.
00:35:12I don't get it. Why the sudden switch?
00:35:16No switch.
00:35:18I'm just giving up struggling.
00:35:19I know when I'm hooked.
00:35:20Really?
00:35:22Yeah. You got my number and I know it.
00:35:26I like you better the other way, Tony.
00:35:28Yeah. I says to myself, what's the use of struggling?
00:35:32You go for her and she goes for you.
00:35:36Wait a minute, Tony.
00:35:37Tell me, baby.
00:35:39What was the name of the guy that bumped off the Blanchard kid?
00:35:42What?
00:35:42You heard me. He's one of your fancy friends.
00:35:48Let go of me!
00:35:50If you're such a smart detective, find out for yourself.
00:35:52You know him?
00:35:53Sure I do. Now you try and find out who he is.
00:35:55That's a criminal offense, what you're doing.
00:35:57That's right, but it works both ways.
00:35:58I could sure throw a monkey wrench into your pretty little domestic merry-go-round.
00:36:01Don't be cheap!
00:36:02At these prices?
00:36:03I won't be threatened!
00:36:08Okay, Jill.
00:36:13I don't know his name, Tony Honest.
00:36:15I must have seen him at a party or something.
00:36:18That's all right, Jill.
00:36:20I just wanted to find out whose side you were on.
00:36:22Your side, Tony. Your side.
00:36:26Sure.
00:36:29Don't go, Tony!
00:36:31You gotta.
00:36:32You know, the wheels are justice.
00:36:34They gotta keep turning.
00:36:35Come back and see me, Tony.
00:36:38I'll come back and see you, baby.
00:36:40That's one thing you can be sure of.
00:36:43We're partners, ain't we?
00:36:57So if I could see Miss Blanchard's canceled check, sometimes we'd get a lead that way.
00:37:01Anything at all, Mr. Gawker.
00:37:03Mr. Loring, please.
00:37:06He's our vice president here on it.
00:37:08Hello, Douglas.
00:37:10I'm sending you Lieutenant Cochran.
00:37:12He'd like to look at the Blanchard account.
00:37:14Yes, right away.
00:37:15He'll be able to help you.
00:37:17Just across the bank, per desk.
00:37:19Uh, Loring?
00:37:20Yes.
00:37:35Lieutenant Cochran?
00:37:38You're Mr. Loring.
00:37:39I sent for the things you want, Mr. Cochran.
00:37:41Uh, sit down.
00:37:42I'll be happy to do anything else I can to help.
00:37:45Thanks.
00:37:46Uh, how, uh, how well did you know Miss Blanchard?
00:37:51Oh, quite well.
00:37:52Known the family for years.
00:37:53Same club, all that.
00:37:54Uh, she was, however, one of my wife's dearest friends, and I suggest that you talk to her.
00:37:59Is, uh, is there anyone you could think of who might have had some reason to kill her as brutally
00:38:05and savagely as they did?
00:38:07None.
00:38:07Uh, she was a sweet girl, and so far as I know, didn't have an enemy in the world.
00:38:11Don't the police seem to think that robbery?
00:38:13Well, thank you, Mr. Graham.
00:38:16Here you are, Lieutenant.
00:38:20Well, I hope we can get something out of these.
00:38:24You're very welcome, Mr. Cochran.
00:38:26Any time at all that we can be of service.
00:38:29Uh, tell me, uh, do the police have anything definite upon which to base their theory of robbery?
00:38:34Uh, no.
00:38:35The jewelry was gone, but, uh, you see, the man who murdered her, a clever man with an entirely different
00:38:41motive, might easily have taken it to throw us off.
00:38:44I see.
00:38:49When did you see her last?
00:38:51Well, let me see.
00:38:52Last weekend, Mrs. Loring and I...
00:38:55No.
00:38:56No, I saw her for just a moment the day before yesterday.
00:38:58The day she was, uh, the day of the tragedy.
00:39:00She was here in the bank just a little while before closing.
00:39:04Uh, did you talk to her?
00:39:06Yes, something about a dinner party she was planning.
00:39:09She was quite keyed up about it.
00:39:10She, uh...
00:39:12Poor Elaine.
00:39:13She was so young to be brutally struck down like that.
00:39:16Thanks again.
00:39:23Read all about it.
00:39:25Get your paper.
00:39:27Blanchett murderer arrested.
00:39:28Beach mystery solved.
00:39:31Police near killer of Elaine Blanchard.
00:39:34Get your paper here.
00:39:36Blanchett murderer caught.
00:39:38Police hit full confession.
00:39:40Get your paper all about the murder mystery.
00:39:44Murder solved.
00:39:45Yes, yes.
00:39:46I know what I'm talking about.
00:39:47Certainly.
00:39:48Yeah.
00:39:48PH is in Philadelphia.
00:39:49I say PH is in Philadelphia.
00:39:50Certainly.
00:39:51Yeah.
00:39:52Probably plead insanity.
00:39:54Nommi.
00:39:54Corsi.
00:39:55What else did he do?
00:39:56The guy is as guilty.
00:40:01That was a quick one, eh, Tony?
00:40:04Yeah.
00:40:04Quick.
00:40:06What do you mean?
00:40:07Thirty-six.
00:40:09Thirty-six.
00:40:09No, just thirty-four hours since the murder and begat him.
00:40:12We're pretty smart gents in this department.
00:40:15Who is he?
00:40:17He said his name is Phillips, a journeyman carpenter.
00:40:19A radio car picked him up over in Queens on a wag and found Miss Blanchett's jewelry on him.
00:40:26Has he confessed?
00:40:27He don't need her.
00:40:29He's told three completely different stories.
00:40:31And his prints are all over her purse.
00:40:34He said he was asleep in an old shack on the beach.
00:40:37And found her yesterday morning dead and took her things.
00:40:43It's open and shut.
00:40:45He'll break pretty soon and tell who was with him.
00:40:47He'll break.
00:40:48He'll get the chair, murderer.
00:40:50He killed her.
00:40:51He'll sing.
00:40:52Open and shut.
00:40:53Lead pipe cinch.
00:40:54He's guilty.
00:41:17Well, Mrs. Merrow.
00:41:19How nice to see you, Mr. Cochran.
00:41:21It is Mr. Cochran, isn't it?
00:41:24Well, did you see him?
00:41:26Yes.
00:41:28Is that him or isn't it?
00:41:30Of all places, in a bank.
00:41:31Sitting there as calm as...
00:41:33I had to make sure.
00:41:34In a bank.
00:41:36Doesn't look like a murderer.
00:41:37I think he's rather attractive.
00:41:39So is a snake.
00:41:40Oh, don't be bitter.
00:41:42Anyhow, I'm glad it's all over.
00:41:45How about a date, Tony?
00:41:46Remember?
00:41:47The day is still young.
00:41:49What do you mean?
00:41:50Oh, Tony.
00:41:52Forgive me, Mrs. Merrow, but I'm a busy man.
00:41:55Well, they got the murderer, didn't they?
00:41:56Some thieving little tramp.
00:41:59I'll meet you by the car.
00:42:00No, just a minute.
00:42:03Oh, it was so nice seeing you.
00:42:05Remember me to your husband.
00:42:07Where's your car?
00:42:09No, not the car.
00:42:10In the library, behind the stacks.
00:42:32Time's a-wasting, Tony.
00:42:34Are you crazy?
00:42:35What are you talking about?
00:42:37A murderer.
00:42:38A guy in the bank.
00:42:39Oh, don't be a fool, Tony.
00:42:41Elaine was a nasty little brat.
00:42:43She probably had it coming to her.
00:42:45What the-
00:42:46Shh, keep quiet.
00:42:48Excuse me.
00:42:49I'm sorry.
00:42:50No, indeed, sir.
00:42:51I'm sorry.
00:42:56You're acting like a fool.
00:42:59You're looking for more trouble?
00:43:01The guy they picked up is innocent.
00:43:03What's the difference?
00:43:06The difference is we gotta go tell him.
00:43:08Or else it'll be you and me that'll be pulling the switch on that poor little slob when he kicks
00:43:12out his last breath for something he didn't do.
00:43:14Tony, honey.
00:43:15He's just a little nobody.
00:43:17Who's going to miss him?
00:43:18Besides, he did rob the body.
00:43:20What about our Mr. Loring?
00:43:22He's not the type that goes around killing people.
00:43:25But we saw him.
00:43:26Of course we saw him.
00:43:28She probably deserved it.
00:43:31That's twice you said it.
00:43:33Tony, dear, you're not the Galahad type.
00:43:36Do you want to mess up both our lives?
00:43:38Lose your job, your wife, your child?
00:43:40What about his wife?
00:43:42If you feel so big hearted, why don't you think about what it'll do to her?
00:43:45How do you know he's married?
00:43:46Oh, I know.
00:43:47I know.
00:43:50You're rotten.
00:43:52Pure, no good, first rate, high grade, A number one, rotten.
00:43:56Tony, I love you.
00:43:59Oh, a fine kind of love.
00:44:01A female spider.
00:44:03All right, Tony, have it your way.
00:44:05But you'd better be clever.
00:44:08I'll be clever.
00:44:10Tony, no heroics.
00:44:13I'll tell you when it's time to start worrying.
00:44:16Tony, how about a date?
00:44:20I ain't got any time for dates, baby.
00:44:23I'm gonna be busy being clever.
00:44:27Tony.
00:44:45Pretty, aren't they?
00:44:47They won't do her any good now.
00:44:51Yeah, very pretty.
00:44:54It's the one I want.
00:44:57I'll bring it back to you tomorrow.
00:45:00Adios.
00:45:01So long, Tony.
00:45:04Well, well, Mr. Cochran.
00:45:06Back the same day.
00:45:07We got him.
00:45:08I read the papers.
00:45:09Probably a psychopath.
00:45:10Yeah.
00:45:11Oh, this is just routine, Mr. Loring.
00:45:14Identifying the jewelry found on him.
00:45:16Do you recognize this clip?
00:45:18She was probably wearing it that last day when she was here.
00:45:22Oh, yes.
00:45:23It's an unusual piece.
00:45:24I remember her having it on.
00:45:26Oh, that's fine.
00:45:27Would you just sign this, please?
00:45:29It's just a routine statement of identification.
00:45:33Sorry.
00:45:34We bank people are trained to read things pretty carefully before signing them.
00:45:37Sure, I know.
00:45:41You've been a big help.
00:45:42Thanks.
00:45:43You're very welcome.
00:45:44And, uh, congratulations.
00:45:46Uh, congratulations?
00:45:49Of course.
00:45:50I think all you men of the police force deserve the highest praise for apprehending the murderer so quickly.
00:45:55Oh, sure.
00:45:57Well, uh, so long.
00:46:18It's George speaking.
00:46:20Okay, Swanson.
00:46:22Fold up and get back here.
00:46:24Melville turned up in bed.
00:46:26Rain, rain, go away.
00:46:28Ronnie Melville's here to stay.
00:46:29He'll marry another blonde today.
00:46:33Hey, that cookie's fingerprints was on the fountain pen.
00:46:36What cookie?
00:46:37Loring's.
00:46:38What kind of a detective was that dope coppin?
00:46:40It didn't take him any longer to figure out the fountain pen angle either.
00:46:44That was his first piece of evidence against Loring.
00:46:47So the fingerprints matched.
00:46:50Cochran got his man.
00:46:51And he goes back to his little home in the west with his wife and kid.
00:46:56So they live happily ever after.
00:46:59The fingerprints matched all right.
00:47:01But he still didn't have enough evidence.
00:47:03He worked a long time.
00:47:05Tony was a good detective.
00:47:06Only when a guy gets himself so balled up, he don't get away with it so easy.
00:47:11He had all the dope on, Loring.
00:47:13Enough to put him away.
00:47:15If things worked out the way Tony thought they would.
00:47:24I got plenty on him. More than I need.
00:47:27I told you.
00:47:28Now I'm going down to the Chiefs and get them to come with me to the D.A.
00:47:32Sure I'm sure.
00:47:33This is the kiss off toots. In more ways than one.
00:47:38You're a free woman.
00:47:41Oh no baby.
00:47:42I'm not coming down to see you.
00:47:44In the flesh you're bad medicine for me.
00:47:47I'll stick to the phone.
00:47:49Oh I don't know what you're cooking up baby.
00:47:51But whatever it is, I ain't buying.
00:48:01Blanchard murdered a pay the full penalty.
00:48:05Phillips goes to chair tomorrow morning.
00:48:08Get your paper.
00:48:10Phillips goes to chair tomorrow morning.
00:48:13Get your paper.
00:48:17Phillips goes to chair tomorrow morning.
00:48:20Here you are. Get your paper.
00:48:22Get your paper.
00:48:30That's a pretty impressive pile of work you've got here Cochran.
00:48:33You did fine.
00:48:35Do we go to the D.A.?
00:48:37You did fine.
00:48:40Phillips has only got until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
00:48:43It's worth a try.
00:48:52I know this must come as a surprise to you Bill.
00:48:55But that's a pretty good job Cochran here did.
00:48:57And he didn't get all his evidence together until tonight.
00:48:59It's circumstantial.
00:49:00That's right.
00:49:01But it's worth a stay of execution until we get a hold of Loring.
00:49:04I don't think that will be necessary.
00:49:14Gentlemen.
00:49:15Mr. Loring.
00:49:17Mr. Cochran.
00:49:18I was just discussing you with Bill.
00:49:20Our district attorney Bill Howland.
00:49:23Mr. Loring.
00:49:24These gentlemen want to ask you a few questions.
00:49:26Do you mind?
00:49:26Of course not.
00:49:27This is Lieutenant Strong.
00:49:28This is Captain Lawrence of Homicide.
00:49:30And I take it you know Lieutenant Cochran.
00:49:32Why yes.
00:49:32I should say we're almost old friends.
00:49:35Captain.
00:49:36Sit down Mr. Loring.
00:49:37Thanks Bill.
00:49:39Before we proceed Captain I think it only fair to tell you that Mr. Loring came here of his own
00:49:43free will and told me the whole story.
00:49:44And I think it only fair to tell Mr. Loring that we've checked the second set of fingerprints in the
00:49:48death car and find that they're his.
00:49:51That's what he came up here to tell me about.
00:49:53Well.
00:49:55Suppose he explained it to me.
00:49:57I'd be very happy to tell it again to you.
00:49:59I knew that this Lieutenant Cochran was more than slightly interested in me.
00:50:04And I felt it my duty to clear up any confusion that might arise.
00:50:07Well why did you wait until now?
00:50:09Wait a minute Olly.
00:50:11When you picked up the murderer of Miss Blanchard I saw no use to involve either myself or my family
00:50:16in an unnecessary scandal.
00:50:18Had you not picked him up when you did I assure you I would have come forward.
00:50:21Why would you have come forward?
00:50:23It's very simple Captain Lawrence.
00:50:25I suppose I must have been the last person outside of the murderer to see Miss Blanchard alive.
00:50:31What do you mean by that Loring?
00:50:33When did you last see Miss Blanchard alive?
00:50:35I was in her car with her that afternoon.
00:50:37What time that afternoon?
00:50:39Well it was after banking hours from half past four to six o'clock say.
00:50:43There did she pick you up?
00:50:45Near the bank.
00:50:46Where did she let you out?
00:50:47At the same place near the bank.
00:50:49I'll explain everything to you if you'll permit me.
00:50:51That's what we're here for Mr. Loring.
00:50:54I admit my relations with Miss Blanchard were not everything that they should have been.
00:50:58And I'm more than sorry about that.
00:51:00She fell in love with me.
00:51:02It was my fault.
00:51:04That afternoon I went out in her car with her to try to make her see.
00:51:08Well she wanted me to divorce my wife.
00:51:10Whom I love very dearly in spite of everything.
00:51:13And marry her.
00:51:14She was hysterical.
00:51:15Said she was going to tell the whole world.
00:51:17So I thought.
00:51:17So you killed her.
00:51:18Isn't that right Loring?
00:51:19I killed her.
00:51:20You killed her.
00:51:21Beat her to death with a tire iron.
00:51:22I beat that poor girl to death and then come down here and tell you all this?
00:51:26What do you think I am? A fool?
00:51:28Believe me.
00:51:29I tell you I had no more to do with the death of Elaine Blanchard than you did.
00:51:41What would you say, Loring, if we told you we could produce witnesses that weren't thirty feet from you and
00:51:46saw you kill her?
00:51:48What would I say?
00:51:51What would I say?
00:51:52Well I'd say, gentlemen, you couldn't possibly produce such witnesses because they don't exist.
00:52:00You want to ask him any questions?
00:52:09Yeah, I would like to.
00:52:11Go ahead.
00:52:13Can you tell us where you were that evening, Mr. Loring? After Miss Blanchard left you at the bank?
00:52:19Well really, gentlemen, it might appear as though this were premeditated, but I, uh...
00:52:23Shall I have her come in?
00:52:25I had hoped to spare the embarrassment.
00:52:27It really isn't fair to involve her, but I suppose it would be better.
00:52:30Yes, I think it would be better.
00:52:33You see, I went to a picture that night. My wife was out and I didn't bother going on to
00:52:38dinner.
00:52:39I just happened to bump into, uh...
00:52:49This is Mrs. Merrill, gentlemen. This is Captain Lawrence. You've heard of the Merrills, I'm sure.
00:52:54Lieutenant Strong, Cochran.
00:52:57Don't be alarmed, my dear.
00:52:58How do you do? You're all on the side of the law, I'm sure.
00:53:02I meant to come here to see Bill, of course, directly after cocktails at the Merrills.
00:53:07My car broke down and Mrs. Merrill was kind enough to drive me down.
00:53:11If you don't mind, Mr. Loring, Captain Lawrence would like to know what you did the night the Blanchard girl
00:53:15was killed.
00:53:16What I was doing?
00:53:17No, my dear. They're only interested in me.
00:53:20Why you?
00:53:21You'd help us, Mrs. Merrill, by simply answering.
00:53:23Oh, this is so silly, I, uh...
00:53:27Oh, of course, I went to a late movie with Mr. Loring.
00:53:31I ran into him quite by chance downtown.
00:53:34Does that satisfy you?
00:53:36It does me.
00:53:47Tony?
00:54:00Thanks for coming, Loring.
00:54:02Thank you, Mrs. Merrill.
00:54:03If we need you, we'll call you.
00:54:04Won't you drop by later, Mr. Halloran? We're having a party.
00:54:07Thanks. Maybe I will.
00:54:08Bill, if there's anything else I can do...
00:54:09Ah, ah, forget it.
00:54:42Well?
00:54:46What kind of a heartbreak did you hand me down at the DA's office?
00:54:49Did you drag me all the way down here to tell me that?
00:54:52I've got to get back to my party.
00:54:54You're coming back to the DA's office with me and tell him you lied.
00:54:58You're gonna tell him you weren't with that ape but with me that night.
00:55:01What are you drinking, lady?
00:55:02Nothing for me, thanks.
00:55:04But you'd better have a shot ready for the boyfriend here.
00:55:07He's gonna get a shock.
00:55:10Where are you heading in?
00:55:11You poor dumb cop.
00:55:14Why do you think I got him to the DA's office ahead of you?
00:55:18So you got yourself a new boyfriend.
00:55:21He's more my type.
00:55:23You can go back to your Martha now.
00:55:26I'm leaving.
00:55:27You're coming down to headquarters with me right now.
00:55:30Oh, listen, you fool.
00:55:33You can get me there but who'll believe you?
00:55:35You can't do a thing about it, Tony.
00:55:38Your hands are tied.
00:55:40In just about...
00:55:4210 hours it'll all be over.
00:55:45Who are you going to tell it to?
00:55:47The Marines?
00:56:00How about it, Bub?
00:56:04The lady was only half right.
00:56:07Beg it a double.
00:56:19Okay, Ole.
00:56:21You don't have to follow me around anymore.
00:56:23What?
00:56:23I was worried.
00:56:25You didn't look so good.
00:56:28You've been tailing me for weeks.
00:56:30You look pretty tired, Tony.
00:56:32Come on, I take you home.
00:56:35Loring's guilty.
00:56:36Sure, sure.
00:56:37But we just can't do anything more about it.
00:56:40Come on, we go home.
00:56:42I saw him do it.
00:56:43Yeah, yeah.
00:56:44We talk about it.
00:56:45Now, wait a minute, will you?
00:56:46You gotta believe me.
00:56:48I believe you, Tony.
00:56:49I believe you.
00:56:49No, you don't, Ole.
00:56:50You don't believe me for a minute.
00:56:51Did you see that dame I was talking to in here a minute ago?
00:56:54She was with me.
00:56:56She saw him do it, too.
00:56:58You know, I've been seeing her.
00:56:59Yeah, she's a pretty bad one.
00:57:01Oh, you know so much and you don't know nothing.
00:57:04What have you been tailing me for?
00:57:05I like you, Tony.
00:57:06But I like Martha.
00:57:09That's what I'm saying.
00:57:10What else would I be telling you for?
00:57:11Okay, Tony, you've seen it.
00:57:14But who are you going to tell?
00:57:15Come on, we go home.
00:57:17Nobody's believing you.
00:57:18You've got no proof.
00:57:20That's what she said.
00:57:22What did who say?
00:57:23That Merrill Dame.
00:57:24She said nobody would believe me.
00:57:26No proof.
00:57:31Proof.
00:57:33You want proof?
00:57:35Okay, I'll show you proof.
00:57:37Wait a minute, Tony.
00:57:38Remember the tire?
00:57:39What tire?
00:57:39The one with the cot in it.
00:57:41The tracks on the beach.
00:57:42You were stinking with curiosity then.
00:57:43Yeah, yeah.
00:57:44It's my tire.
00:57:45It's in my garage.
00:57:47Yeah?
00:57:47Can't you see?
00:57:49We don't have any time.
00:58:14Mom!
00:58:15Oh, go to bed, honey.
00:58:16It's all right.
00:58:18Is that you, Tony?
00:58:19Martha!
00:58:23Martha, honey.
00:58:24I ain't the guy to say this.
00:58:26I don't know how else to tell you.
00:58:27I love you.
00:58:28Oh, Tony.
00:58:29No, wait a minute.
00:58:29I don't have much time.
00:58:31I don't want to ever hurt you and Doc.
00:58:32Not for anything in the world.
00:58:33Oh, keep still, you big fool.
00:58:34Do you think I'm blind?
00:58:36You know?
00:58:37I don't know anything.
00:58:39I don't know anything.
00:58:39All I know is come home quickly, Tony, to us.
00:58:41Quickly.
00:58:45What's the matter, Paul?
00:58:46What's the matter?
00:58:47Oh, nothing's the matter, baby.
00:58:48Everything's all right.
00:58:49Yeah.
00:58:50Everything's gonna be fine from now on.
00:58:52Ain't it?
00:58:53Are we gonna go fishing?
00:58:54Hurry up, Tony.
00:58:56It's getting later than you think.
00:58:57Yeah, yeah.
00:58:58We're going fishing, the three of us.
00:59:00A real vacation.
00:59:01Just wait till I come back.
00:59:03Soon.
00:59:03Come back soon.
00:59:06Even if I'm not a detective?
00:59:07Even if you're the popcorn vendor at the baseball game.
00:59:20The police call will be here in a couple of minutes, Tony.
00:59:23No, I gotta get her myself while I still got my badge.
00:59:26That's what they call poetic justice, isn't it?
00:59:28Yeah, I guess those poet fellas know what they're talking about.
00:59:31I'd do it alone, see?
00:59:33Oh, I won't bother you.
00:59:37Mrs. Marilyn.
00:59:38Never mind.
00:59:39We'll find her.
00:59:54Good evening, Lieutenant.
00:59:55Good evening.
00:59:56You're not going to raid us, are you?
00:59:58Nothing stronger than 3.2, so help me.
01:00:01Care to have a drink?
01:00:02No, thanks.
01:00:03I'd like to speak to Mrs. Merrill for a moment.
01:00:04Well, she was here just a minute ago.
01:00:06I saw her.
01:00:07Oh, yes.
01:00:07She went to the kitchen for some more drinks.
01:00:09I'll get her.
01:00:09No, never mind.
01:00:10I'll go.
01:00:11Anything serious, Lieutenant?
01:00:12No.
01:00:13Oh, this is Lieutenant Stroh, Mr. Merrill.
01:00:15I think maybe he wants a drink.
01:00:17I'm all wet on the outside.
01:00:19I might used as well be wet on the inside, too.
01:00:21Oh!
01:00:22Oh!
01:00:42Hello, Tony.
01:00:45Tony doesn't know anything about manners.
01:00:47He's very crude.
01:00:49Hello, Cochran.
01:00:50I want to talk to you, Jill.
01:00:51Don't be silly, silly.
01:00:54I'll take these drinks out.
01:01:00Well, how do you like that?
01:01:02Can you hear me?
01:01:03Sure, I can hear you.
01:01:05What do you think I am, deaf?
01:01:06I found somebody who believed me.
01:01:10I said I found somebody who believed me.
01:01:13I heard you, Tony.
01:01:16Now what happens?
01:01:17Now we go down to headquarters and sing a duet.
01:01:20You're going to tell them you lied about Loring.
01:01:24All right, Tony.
01:01:26I shouldn't have tried to change your mind.
01:01:28I can see that now.
01:01:30I was a coward, Tony, but you give me strength.
01:01:34Save your pretty words for the D.A.
01:01:36You meant a lot to me, Tony.
01:01:38You mean a lot to me.
01:01:41I'm a funny girl.
01:01:42Well, I don't understand it myself, why I do things.
01:01:48Well, I suppose we're through.
01:01:51You can give me one goodbye kiss.
01:01:54Come on.
01:01:57One farewell kiss.
01:02:01It won't hurt much.
01:02:03You're a screwy dame.
01:02:13Tony.
01:02:15Tony, I didn't mean it.
01:02:20It's okay, Jill.
01:02:23I guess you had to.
01:02:25I'll tell them, Tony.
01:02:27Honest, I'll tell them.
01:02:30That's right, Jill.
01:02:44I'll tell them.
01:02:45Come on.
01:02:50I guess it will be.
01:02:51I'll tell them.
01:02:53Come on, John.
01:02:55Come on.
01:02:57Come on.
01:02:59Come on.
01:02:59Come on.
01:03:00Come on.
01:03:00Come on.
01:03:01Come on.
01:03:12I'll tell them, Tony, honest.
01:03:18Take Loring and the girl to the first car.
01:03:21You can take Cochran in your car.
01:03:43You know what this means?
01:03:45You lose your job.
01:03:47Maybe Martha and Doc.
01:03:49You'll go to jail.
01:03:53It took a lot of guts.
01:03:56I'm proud of you, Tony.
01:04:00Thanks, Soli.
01:04:18I can guess why you told that story, Mr. Stewart.
01:04:21Thanks, but, well, you see, I knew that story a long time ago, even more completely than in your files.
01:04:26No, you're wrong, son.
01:04:27I didn't tell that story for you.
01:04:29Every guy who lets himself get mixed up should hear it.
01:04:33It's a funny thing of...
01:04:38Hey, where's Johnny?
01:04:40Huh?
01:04:43What happened to Johnny?
01:04:46He just left.
01:04:57Hey, Tony, give me a package of cigarettes, will you?
01:05:00Oh, hiya, Johnny.
01:05:02You're lucky.
01:05:02I just came down here to pick up the kid.
01:05:05I always take him and the wife out fishing every Sunday.
01:05:11The usual?
01:05:12Yeah.
01:05:16Some kid.
01:05:18The hottest detective on homicide.
01:05:20Here you are.
01:05:24Tony!
01:05:27What's the matter?
01:05:28You've seen a ghost?
01:05:29You're Tony Cochran.
01:05:31Well, how did you know my last name?
01:05:33Oh, sure.
01:05:35You must know Doc.
01:05:36Boy, I'm sure pleased to meet you, Mr. Cochran.
01:05:39Boy, I sure am.
01:05:40Yeah, I'm sure glad to meet your acquaintance.
01:05:42You'll never know how glad.
01:05:43Oh, thanks, Johnny.
