00:01:34831, Empire State Express, leaving on track 5 for Albany, Utica, Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo, and Niagara Falls.
00:01:46Are you all right, love?
00:01:47I'm fine.
00:01:52You should have let me come up to meet you.
00:01:54To see me get out of prison.
00:01:56It's not a thing I want you to remember.
00:01:58You're home now, Father.
00:02:00That's all that matters.
00:02:06What is it, Father?
00:02:08Mr. Colby didn't come.
00:02:11Did you expect him to?
00:02:13Yes, yes, I did.
00:02:16Father, Father, please, let's go home now.
00:02:20I'll call him.
00:02:22I'll call Mr. Colby this afternoon.
00:02:47Good morning, Miss.
00:02:50I...
00:02:52Excuse me, I'd like to see Mr. Colby...
00:02:54Mr. Colby wants them right away.
00:02:58Excuse me, but I'd like to see...
00:03:00I'm sorry, you'll have to wait.
00:03:05Is it from the contact department?
00:03:07They're from Mr. Colby.
00:03:11Can you tell me where I...
00:03:12Just a moment, please.
00:03:17He's contracted by Mr. Colby.
00:03:19Well, I can't disturb him right now.
00:03:20He's at conference.
00:03:23How many doors and secretaries do you have to go through to get to see this guy?
00:03:29Anything I can do for you?
00:03:31Any number of things, but unfortunately, I'm here on business.
00:03:34I want to see Mr. Colby.
00:03:36What did you want to see him about?
00:03:38Well, he's been carrying on with my grandmother.
00:03:40I'd like to find out what his intentions are.
00:03:42If you have any business with Mr. Colby...
00:03:43I have lots of business, but it's all personal.
00:03:45I'm his secretary.
00:03:47His personal secretary.
00:03:48Well, it just goes to show you how far a girl can get if she keeps her stocking seam straight.
00:03:51Don't get up, thank you.
00:03:52I'll announce myself.
00:03:53Just a minute.
00:03:53You can't go in there.
00:03:57Don't blame the girl, Mr. Colby.
00:03:59Whichever one you are.
00:04:00She did her best.
00:04:01I trust this is something urgent.
00:04:03If you're Andrew Colby, it's very urgent.
00:04:05I am.
00:04:06Well, my name's Robert Regan.
00:04:07I'm an attorney.
00:04:08I'm representing a client named Emilio Canepa.
00:04:10As a result of your negligent driving,
00:04:13his pushcart and load of bananas were damaged to the extent of $68.72.
00:04:18You ignored my letters, so I brought you a little invitation
00:04:21ordering you to appear in magistrate's court.
00:04:23This in case you've never seen one as a summons.
00:04:25They're issued by the city of New York.
00:04:28Yes.
00:04:29Yes, I've heard of the procedure.
00:04:31In that case, good day.
00:04:33Oh, just a minute, Mr. Regan.
00:04:34Perhaps we can settle this matter out of court.
00:04:37Forgive me, gentlemen.
00:04:38I assure you it wasn't my intention to defraud your client.
00:04:42I turned your letters over to my attorneys, Porter and Griswold, and...
00:04:45Porter and Griswold?
00:04:46They wouldn't even take a bath unless it involved $100,000.
00:04:50Mr. Porter's wife might resent that remark.
00:04:52Yes, I'm afraid she might.
00:04:54This is Mr. Porter and Mr. Griswold.
00:04:57How do you do?
00:04:58How do you do?
00:04:59For your convenience, I've brought you an itemized account.
00:05:02$23 for the damage to the pushcart.
00:05:04$12 for the bananas.
00:05:08Amelio Knieper doesn't think this is funny.
00:05:12Of course not.
00:05:14I'm sorry.
00:05:15Okay.
00:05:17I'll see that Mr. Knieper gets a check.
00:05:20And a letter congratulating him on his choice of attorneys.
00:05:23Thank you.
00:05:27Do you always attend to these matters personally, Mr. Regan?
00:05:31Well, I thought my client was getting pushed around.
00:05:34I didn't like that.
00:05:37Well, goodbye, Mr. Corbin.
00:05:39Goodbye.
00:05:41Sorry if I got you in a jam.
00:05:43Anything for the cause of justice.
00:05:46Say, you know, you're a lot prettier than the girls out there.
00:05:50But obviously, that's why you're in here.
00:05:52Obviously.
00:05:54Um, what do you do Saturday nights?
00:05:57Oh, play marvels with the girls next door.
00:06:03Uh, look, um, I know of a little place, uh...
00:06:06I'm sure you do.
00:06:08Well, the name's Regan.
00:06:10Robert Regan.
00:06:11I'll try to remember.
00:06:12I'm in the book.
00:06:14In case your pushcart ever gets pushed.
00:06:18It very rarely does.
00:06:20I don't anticipate any serious trouble on this loan, Andrew.
00:06:24Did you ring Mr. Colby?
00:06:25Oh, yes, Miss Faraday.
00:06:26Did Mr. Murdoch return?
00:06:28No, he hasn't.
00:06:29It is unfortunate that Kroner should be getting out of prison at precisely this time.
00:06:33You can assure everyone concerned that Kroner has absolutely no connection with my organization any longer.
00:06:37I think that's all we need.
00:06:39Goodbye.
00:06:39Goodbye.
00:06:40I'm sorry about the interruption, Andrew.
00:06:43You mean Regan?
00:06:44He was a welcome relief.
00:06:46How did things go?
00:06:48Beautifully.
00:06:50Beautifully.
00:06:51As a matter of fact, you can wire our Paris office that we'll be ready to leave in two weeks.
00:06:59I'm ready right now.
00:07:01Why?
00:07:06You're getting tired of New York?
00:07:07Oh, not particularly.
00:07:08Really? It's just that, well, high finance isn't my idea, the most stimulating thing in the world.
00:07:15But the things you can do with the money.
00:07:17You can buy steamships and oil wells and head waiters.
00:07:22Wouldn't you like an old stuffed major domo to use as a hat rack?
00:07:26Oh, come in, Charles. I've been waiting for you.
00:07:29Kroner got in on the 10-12.
00:07:31Nobody met him but his daughter.
00:07:34Five years.
00:07:37It doesn't seem possible.
00:07:42How did he look, Charles?
00:07:43About the same. Thinner.
00:07:45Little bitter.
00:07:49I suppose I should see him.
00:07:51So I tried to reach him for you?
00:07:52No.
00:07:53No, we'll wait for him to call us.
00:07:59Noel, that young attorney who was here, what did you think of him?
00:08:04Well, I don't know.
00:08:06Brash.
00:08:06Hot-headed.
00:08:07Fairly bright, I imagine.
00:08:11Have him come to see me tonight.
00:08:13Come to see you?
00:08:15Yes.
00:08:17Nine o'clock at home.
00:08:44Is Mr. Colby at home?
00:08:46Who shall I say is calling?
00:08:47Mr. Regan.
00:08:48Rather than Regan.
00:08:52Come in, please.
00:09:01Expecting someone?
00:09:05Come this way, Mr. Regan.
00:09:11May I take your things, please?
00:09:13Oh, thank you.
00:09:15Quite a place.
00:09:16A fellow could get lonesome.
00:09:17Good evening, Mr. Regan.
00:09:20My name is Noel Faraday.
00:09:23Well, hello.
00:09:24I'm representing Andrew Colby.
00:09:27This, in case you've never seen one, is not a summons.
00:09:31Well, thank you.
00:09:32When I'm worth $40 million, I'm going to have a secretary who looks exactly like you.
00:09:36Oh, my taste is fairly simple.
00:09:38$20 million would be quite enough.
00:09:42How's Amelia Canepa?
00:09:45Expecting a check.
00:09:51I feel like a man of distinction.
00:09:54Are you?
00:09:55As distinctive as you can get at public school 45.
00:09:59What's the idea of this interview?
00:10:01Why don't you ask Mr. Colby?
00:10:03Oh, I thought you were his personal secretary.
00:10:06Oh, he keeps a few secrets from me.
00:10:09I couldn't.
00:10:11Say, uh...
00:10:13What kind of a guy is he, anyway?
00:10:15Attractive.
00:10:16Generous.
00:10:17Warm-hearted.
00:10:19Brilliant.
00:10:20Good shot, Mr. Colby.
00:10:21Thank you.
00:10:22Won't you join me?
00:10:23I'm a little out of practice.
00:10:25Good.
00:10:26Thank you, Noel.
00:10:30Don't forget to save your nickels, Mr. Regan.
00:10:32$20 million will do it.
00:10:36That's a very attractive secretary you have there, Mr. Colby.
00:10:38I'm still young enough to notice that myself, Mr. Regan.
00:10:42Were you surprised to hear from me so soon?
00:10:44Sure, I was surprised.
00:10:45I was very much impressed with you this afternoon.
00:10:48That's funny.
00:10:48I didn't think you'd feel like that.
00:10:50I liked your aggressiveness, your loyalty to your client.
00:10:53It's a very rare thing to find these days, loyalty.
00:10:56You can buy it at any dog store in town.
00:10:58Well, unfortunately, that's about the only place.
00:11:04How would you like to come and work for me, Mr. Regan?
00:11:07Sounds fine, but considerably more money than I believe you're earning now.
00:11:11Sounds even better.
00:11:12And it's all settled?
00:11:13Not quite.
00:11:14What do I do for all this money?
00:11:16What have I got that Porter and Griswold haven't?
00:11:19You wouldn't believe me if I told you I needed another attorney.
00:11:24Nothing more than if you told me you needed another million dollars.
00:11:27I didn't think you would.
00:11:30Regan, you understand, of course, that this is a professional rather than a social visit?
00:11:37You can talk freely if that's what you mean.
00:11:38I'll try to make it short.
00:11:41Up until five years ago, I had a business associate, a man named Leopold Croner.
00:11:46He became financially entangled and took nearly a million dollars worth of bonds belonging to our firm.
00:11:53He had counterfeit duplicates made and then, using his position as an executive, sold those counterfeit bonds.
00:12:00Clever boy.
00:12:02Not so clever.
00:12:03He was discovered and sent to prison for five years.
00:12:06I did everything I could for him at the trial, but it was hopeless.
00:12:10He's been released from prison, but the long confinement seems to have unbalanced him seriously.
00:12:16How do you mean?
00:12:18He seems to hold me responsible for everything.
00:12:22I talked with him on the phone today, and he threatened my life.
00:12:29You better call the cops.
00:12:30If necessary, I will, but I'd prefer not to.
00:12:34Why?
00:12:36Well, the publicity involved.
00:12:39Just now, I'm negotiating a rather large loan, essential for expanding my operations.
00:12:46And if certain of my prospective backers were to hear that my life had been threatened, or I had hired
00:12:51someone to protect me...
00:12:53I see.
00:12:54But on the other hand, if I were to engage a bright young attorney to be constantly at my side...
00:12:59Nobody would think a thing about it.
00:13:00Exactly.
00:13:01That is, nobody except me, because I'd think about it a lot, and I wouldn't like it.
00:13:07Why not?
00:13:08Because I'm a lawyer, not a bodyguard.
00:13:11Yes, I understand.
00:13:13I have a career.
00:13:14Someday, I'd like to have an office of my own.
00:13:16Someday, I'd like to be able to sue people like you and Porter and Griswold.
00:13:22I'll be leaving the country in two weeks, and that's all the time it would involve.
00:13:26I don't like to make a detour for even two weeks.
00:13:29Well, this might not prove to be such a detour.
00:13:33Five thousand dollars should go a long way towards opening that office.
00:13:41I've heard of that kind of money.
00:13:43Well, what do you say?
00:13:48If you think I'm going to turn it down, you're crazy.
00:13:54But then, you act a little bit crazy anyway.
00:14:01Believe me, it's worth it to me.
00:14:03Well, believe me, it's worth it to me, too.
00:14:07Okay.
00:14:08You've got yourself a bodyguard at five thousand dollars a body.
00:14:11When do I start?
00:14:12You're working right now.
00:14:15I'm a little bit short of the tools of my tray.
00:14:17Help yourself.
00:14:26Can you get a permit for that?
00:14:29I have a friend.
00:14:35All right, Regan.
00:14:37Thanks, Mark.
00:14:38Morning, Bert.
00:14:38Precinct.
00:14:40Hi, D'Amico.
00:14:41How are the kids?
00:14:42Kids are fine.
00:14:47Uh, what's this about a gun permit?
00:14:49Oh.
00:14:50Yeah, they passed the law, you know.
00:14:52You have to have one to carry one of these things.
00:14:55You're not supposed to carry it until after you have the permit.
00:14:58Oh.
00:15:00Where'd you get it?
00:15:02Oh, the store brought it.
00:15:05Some of your satisfied clients after you?
00:15:07No.
00:15:08No, it's demand shortage.
00:15:09A guy just isn't safe in the streets nowadays.
00:15:14Why do you want to carry a gun?
00:15:16Well, it makes me feel two feet tall.
00:15:18Come on, come on.
00:15:19Well, there have been prowlers around my place lately.
00:15:21Yesterday, I was held up and robbed of fifty thousand dollars.
00:15:23An old girlfriend of mine has threatened my life.
00:15:26Personally, I don't like guys walking around with guns on them.
00:15:29A lot of screwballs playing cops and robbers.
00:15:32A man thinks twice before he strangles somebody or sticks a knife in him, but if he's got a gun...
00:15:36Oh, come on, Lieutenant.
00:15:37Give me a letter to the captain.
00:15:38Don't point that thing at me.
00:15:40But it...
00:15:41And don't tell me it isn't loaded.
00:15:44Look, D'Amico, I can't wait around for months for this permit.
00:15:47You and my old man used to play hopscotch together.
00:15:51The first thing we teach a man in my department is it's bad manners to point a gun unless you're
00:15:55going to use it.
00:15:57For Pop Regan's, little boy?
00:15:59How about it?
00:16:04All right, get out of here.
00:16:07Get yourself fingerprinted, photographed, and questioned.
00:16:09I'll call the captain.
00:16:10Thank you.
00:16:11You're not welcome.
00:16:15Thank you.
00:16:16Thank you.
00:16:35Look, Chum.
00:16:37That you and I have an understanding right now.
00:16:40You don't creep around dark rooms.
00:16:42I don't fire this in your direction.
00:16:44I was just checking up.
00:16:45You better wear a taillight.
00:16:46I hope that the occasion arises, you'll know how to use that thing.
00:16:50You keep on playing Frankenstein and you'll find out.
00:17:06Well?
00:17:07The drawbridge is up.
00:17:09The house is locked.
00:17:10Barbed wire is strung.
00:17:12Murdoch just scared the pants off me.
00:17:15Ah, well, a day in the life of a bodyguard.
00:17:18I never even knew there were bodies worth $5,000.
00:17:22Uh, nothing personal, of course.
00:17:26Say, uh, now that the boss is safely upstairs, what do you say if you and I, uh, cut up
00:17:32a little bit?
00:17:33You better get out your little tattered black book and make other arrangements.
00:17:37Why?
00:17:39I'm going to get myself safely upstairs.
00:17:43I was merely suggesting changing the radio and having a dance.
00:17:48You could be lynched for the way you suggested.
00:17:57I was locked out, I'm sorry.
00:18:01Did you finish checking?
00:18:03Everything's tight.
00:18:04All right.
00:18:06Night.
00:18:07Good night, Charles.
00:18:11What does he do for a living except turn up unexpectedly from time to time?
00:18:15Charles?
00:18:16Oh, lots of things.
00:18:18He's been with Mr. Colby for years.
00:18:21Nice, compact little group, Murdoch.
00:18:24You and Colby.
00:18:26There are lots of double meanings in that remark.
00:18:29No, I just like to keep things straight.
00:18:31What pigeon belongs in what pigeonhole?
00:18:34Who belongs to who?
00:18:36Why should you care?
00:18:37Well, we're all hired help together.
00:18:39Maybe I have visions of asking you for a date sometime.
00:18:43With what in mind?
00:18:44Oh, dancing, drinking, catch his catch can.
00:18:49Thanks for warning me.
00:18:50I'll bring along my police whistle.
00:18:52Oh, no, no.
00:18:53You have nothing to fear from me.
00:18:54My early years in reform school left a lasting impression.
00:18:58Problem, Charles?
00:18:59Just average.
00:19:00Used to set fire to my kid brother occasionally, but then who doesn't?
00:19:05Well, that's very encouraging.
00:19:13Ask me nicely and you can have this dance.
00:19:19You've been asked.
00:19:46You won't need that.
00:19:48He's dead.
00:19:51Kroner?
00:19:52Yes.
00:19:53How did he get in?
00:19:54I don't know.
00:19:56I'd better call the police.
00:20:03I got up from my desk to put some papers away.
00:20:08When I turned back, there he was holding the gun on me.
00:20:11His hands were trembling.
00:20:12His eyes were wild.
00:20:14It was horrible.
00:20:16Yes, go on, please.
00:20:18He called me every name imaginable.
00:20:20Swore that he was going to kill me and then himself.
00:20:24Because I had ruined his life.
00:20:27I, who had tried everything.
00:20:30What happened then, Mr. Colby?
00:20:31I was afraid to call for help.
00:20:34But then when he came closer to me, I threw the papers in his face and made a grab for
00:20:39the gun.
00:20:40He fired one shot that went into the floor.
00:20:44I couldn't get his gun away from him, but I did manage to push him back.
00:20:49That's when Regan rushed into the room.
00:20:54He turned on me with the gun, but he was off balance, I guess.
00:20:59Anyway, I was able to fire first.
00:21:04Lieutenant, does this testimony agree with the reports of your department?
00:21:07It does.
00:21:09The absence of any evidence or presumption, counter to the testimony heard here, makes it unnecessary for this office to
00:21:15pursue this hearing any further.
00:21:17Thank you, gentlemen, for your cooperation.
00:21:24Let's you and me have a little talk in my office alone.
00:21:28When?
00:21:32Now.
00:21:33You haven't heard anything from Mr. Croner's daughter?
00:21:36No.
00:21:36We've been trying to locate her.
00:21:37When you find her, would you please let me know?
00:21:40I'd like to make some provision for her.
00:21:42Certainly, I will.
00:21:43Thank you.
00:21:46You ready to leave?
00:21:49Well, I have a couple of things to do, Mr. Colby.
00:21:52I'll see you at the house later.
00:21:55All right, Bob.
00:22:06That made sense what I said yesterday, didn't it, about people carrying guns.
00:22:11Personally, I stuck my neck out a mile to get you that permit.
00:22:16Well, I would have looked great in there without it.
00:22:18Guy takes a shot at your boss while you're downstairs romancing a dame and listening to a symphony.
00:22:23You're a great buddy, God.
00:22:25You are.
00:22:26Why'd he come to the police if he'd been threatened?
00:22:28Ah, he didn't want the publicity.
00:22:30Well, he's got plenty of it now.
00:22:33We knew where Croner was all the time.
00:22:34We could have picked him up without a sound.
00:22:36You better ask Colby about that.
00:22:38Maybe I will.
00:22:42What was the payoff, Bob?
00:22:44Look.
00:22:46Are you holding me?
00:22:47No.
00:22:48No, but there's a couple of things I don't like about this case.
00:22:51Like what?
00:22:55I, uh, been looking over the Croner case of five years ago.
00:23:01Guy counterfeits some bonds.
00:23:03Sells them for a million dollars and then pleads guilty.
00:23:07But nobody ever finds the million dollars.
00:23:10He stashed it away someplace.
00:23:11Great.
00:23:12And what's he sore about?
00:23:14A man with a million dollars is not sore at anybody.
00:23:17What's that got to do with me?
00:23:19Everything's got to do with you.
00:23:22You killed him.
00:23:23In self-defense.
00:23:24The guy had a gun in his hand.
00:23:25He'd already fired once.
00:23:26Anybody can shove a gun in a dead man's hand.
00:23:29Croner's prints weren't the only ones we found on that gun, you know.
00:23:32Colby picked it up after Croner was dead.
00:23:33We told you that.
00:23:34You told me a lot of things.
00:23:35I still don't like it.
00:23:41Yesterday morning, you get your permit approved.
00:23:44Last night, you kill a guy.
00:23:46In self-defense.
00:23:48Croner gets out of prison one day and gets bumped off the next.
00:23:53All the time, there's a million bucks in cash laying around loose someplace.
00:23:59Couldn't be that you've got a line on that money, could it?
00:24:02Now, lay off, D'Amico.
00:24:03You know me better than that.
00:24:05I knew Benny Parsons all his life.
00:24:07And two weeks ago, he did a job on his uncle with a meat cleaver.
00:24:14This case is a long ways from settled as far as I'm concerned, remember, Rodrigo?
00:24:19If I forget, you remind me.
00:24:22I will.
00:24:35You really think there's something phony?
00:24:38You heard me.
00:24:46Noel, I'm really terribly sorry you had to be mixed up in all of this.
00:24:50Maybe you'd like to go on to Paris ahead of me.
00:24:52No.
00:24:55I'll wait for you.
00:24:57But let's go soon, Andrew.
00:24:59I'm beginning to hate New York.
00:25:01Fell outside, said I could get a drink in here.
00:25:03Help yourself.
00:25:10We've begun to wonder what had happened to you, Barb.
00:25:13I haven't had a chance to really thank you for last night.
00:25:16Oh, forget it.
00:25:17I don't want to forget it.
00:25:18I want to show my appreciation.
00:25:21Would a check for 20 million be asking too much?
00:25:24Yes.
00:25:26But here's the amount that we agreed on.
00:25:32Well, another day, another 5,000.
00:25:35Well, Bob, if you'd like to stay on with me...
00:25:37I'm afraid I couldn't stand the strain.
00:25:39You know, try as I will, I just can't get used to killing people.
00:25:43What's the matter, Bob?
00:25:44Anything that police lieutenant said?
00:25:48No, he just wanted to talk.
00:25:51Trouble with D'Amico is he reads too many detective stories.
00:25:55Spoils him for routine police work.
00:25:58What's the matter with you?
00:26:00Me?
00:26:01Nothing.
00:26:02She's a little depressed.
00:26:04That he didn't get me first, is that nice?
00:26:06You know, you and I had a tentative date, remember?
00:26:09You were going to wear your police whistle?
00:26:11Let's make it for dinner tonight.
00:26:13With both of us in the dumps, we shouldn't inflict our company on anyone but each other.
00:26:18Why don't you?
00:26:20I'll pick you up at 8.
00:26:21Dress up real pretty and I'll wear my graduation suit.
00:26:24Tonight I want to feel respectable.
00:26:28You better call me in an hour, Regan.
00:26:34Okay.
00:26:40I'm checking in my gun, coach.
00:26:41It was a great fight.
00:26:42I'm glad I won.
00:26:45I know it isn't easy, Bob.
00:26:47But don't let yourself start brooding about this.
00:26:51Oh, I'm okay.
00:26:55And I haven't forgotten.
00:26:57You still owe Emilio Knieper $68.72.
00:27:15I'm glad Regan suggested dinner tonight.
00:27:18Are you?
00:27:19Why?
00:27:20Well, I thought you might enjoy it.
00:27:23Maybe I will.
00:27:25Well, you don't have to go, Noel.
00:27:27I know I don't.
00:27:28Maybe you could cheer him up.
00:27:31Oh, yes, Andrew.
00:27:32I'm just the girl to do it.
00:27:34Especially tonight.
00:27:38Seriously, Noel.
00:27:39He denied it, of course.
00:27:42But that lieutenant must have said something to disturb him so deeply.
00:27:46And you'd like to know what it was?
00:27:47I didn't say that.
00:27:49You didn't say it, but that's what you meant.
00:27:52A few minutes ago, you were sorry because I was mixed up in all this.
00:27:56I'm still sorry.
00:27:57I don't know what's come over you, Noel.
00:28:00It isn't like you to suggest that I go out with someone else.
00:28:04I can't ever remember suggesting that you shouldn't.
00:28:10Regan has done us a great service.
00:28:12It seems to me like the least we could do for him.
00:28:14The least?
00:28:17Oh, of course.
00:28:19I'll dig up some light, bright table talk and a low-cut dress.
00:28:24Anything else?
00:28:27No.
00:28:28Good.
00:28:30Good.
00:28:33Good.
00:28:55Thank you.
00:29:07Bye.
00:29:10Bye.
00:29:11Bye.
00:29:11Bye.
00:29:15¡Gracias!
00:29:57¡Gracias!
00:30:15Could do it on my own.
00:30:18Why don't you ask me?
00:30:24Well, first of all, I'd like to find how you stand with Colby.
00:30:27Why? What does that matter?
00:30:29Maybe I've already made a few plans.
00:30:33Well, if you have, they certainly don't include him, so why worry?
00:30:37I'm just naturally worried.
00:30:42How long have you worked for him?
00:30:43A little over six years.
00:30:46You must know him pretty well.
00:30:49I, um, recognize him when I see him.
00:30:53Any more questions?
00:30:55No.
00:30:57No questions.
00:31:00Ah, what's the use?
00:31:02Tonight I sit making awkward passes at a beautiful girl.
00:31:06Last night I killed a man.
00:31:09Tomorrow...
00:31:10You're not to blame for what happened.
00:31:13I'm to blame for getting in a spot like that in the first place.
00:31:16Who am I to be carrying a gun, playing around with people's lives?
00:31:19I ought to have my head examined.
00:31:20But last night, Bob, there was nothing else you could do.
00:31:23I could have shot him in the shoulder, couldn't I, or in the leg.
00:31:25I could have kept my head and not have killed him.
00:31:28Is that what they said at the police station?
00:31:33What do you mean?
00:31:34Well, you seemed so disturbed when you got back.
00:31:38Uh-huh.
00:31:39Mr. Colby rins his ugly head.
00:31:42And after I tell you, do you have to leave right away, or can you stick around a while and
00:31:45report later?
00:31:47Let's go home.
00:31:48Quit kidding.
00:31:49He asked you to find out what happened down there.
00:31:52I had dinner with you tonight because I wanted to.
00:31:55Up until now, I've been having a very nice time.
00:31:57You're rude, but you're upset, so I'll forgive that.
00:32:01But if you want us really to know each other,
00:32:04why don't you stop acting like a schoolboy asking grown-up questions?
00:32:11I'm sorry.
00:32:14So am I.
00:32:18Remember,
00:32:20if we ever go out again,
00:32:23I do what I want because I want to do it.
00:32:27Now take me home.
00:32:35Good night, Regan.
00:32:36Wait a minute.
00:32:38I don't like to leave things like this.
00:32:41Why not?
00:32:43I'll be gone in a week anyway.
00:32:44A lot of things can happen in a week.
00:32:46France fell in 18 days, and you're not as tough as France.
00:32:49Don't be so sure.
00:32:52Look, about tonight, I'm a warm-hearted, impulsive boy.
00:32:57Sometimes I say things I don't mean.
00:32:58It's all right, Bob.
00:33:00Don't worry about it.
00:33:00I'm not only warm-hearted, I'm shy.
00:33:03I need a lot of encouragement.
00:33:10Well, I'm not really as tough as France, if that's any help.
00:33:13That's fine.
00:33:14That shows you're thinking in the right direction.
00:33:18I'm a great admirer of the resistance movement, but I...
00:33:21I don't like to see things carried too far.
00:33:24Kiss him goodnight, Noel, or we'll have him here for breakfast.
00:33:27You must have rubber soles.
00:33:29It was such a nice night, I decided to walk.
00:33:32Did you tiptoe the whole way?
00:33:35Why don't you come in for a while, Bob?
00:33:37It's still early.
00:33:39All right, I will.
00:33:49Well, what did you two do tonight?
00:33:51Oh, not much.
00:33:52We sat around, threw a few rocks at each other.
00:33:55You boys can burn the candle at both ends if you want to.
00:33:58But my dangerous duty depends upon eight hours of sleep.
00:34:01Goodnight.
00:34:02Goodnight, Noel.
00:34:08Drink, Bob?
00:34:09Uh, no.
00:34:12How much do you owe me for the billiards the other night?
00:34:15Twenty bucks, even.
00:34:16Well, I'll give you a chance to get it back.
00:34:18How about, uh, showdown poker at a dollar a hand?
00:34:21Oh, you must be interested in my $5,000.
00:34:24I'm interested in everybody's $5,000.
00:34:27Aren't you?
00:34:28Hmm, it's worth thinking about.
00:34:30Of course, Lieutenant D'Amico doesn't settle so cheaply.
00:34:34He's interested in a million dollars.
00:34:38Ambition is a dangerous thing in policemen.
00:34:43Kroner's million.
00:34:45He thinks I know where it's buried.
00:34:47Do you?
00:34:50Until this afternoon, I had to save up the way myself.
00:34:54What else is the lieutenant's thing?
00:34:56Oh, I told you, he reads too many detective stories.
00:35:00He's always figuring out plots.
00:35:03Oh, what's his plot this time?
00:35:06Well, it's, it's not bad.
00:35:11A wealthy industrialist has somebody he's anxious to get rid of.
00:35:15He hires a not-too-bright, eager young man as a bodyguard.
00:35:19Frames a situation where the bodyguard has to kill the guy in self-defense.
00:35:25The industrialist has rid of the guy.
00:35:27He's in the clear.
00:35:29And the not-too-bright young man never tumbles.
00:35:32The lieutenant seems to have more imagination than most lieutenants.
00:35:37It's an interesting legal point.
00:35:39Because even if our dull boy should tumble,
00:35:42there's nothing he could do about it.
00:35:43Why should he want to?
00:35:46Why shouldn't he?
00:35:48The man is already dead.
00:35:50There isn't anything your young friend can do about that.
00:35:53The district attorney has exonerated him,
00:35:56so there's no danger there.
00:35:58On the other hand,
00:35:59he may have made himself a powerful and influential friend.
00:36:03You forget he's not too bright.
00:36:04He may feel some twinges of conscience.
00:36:07Why?
00:36:08There was no intent of murder on his part.
00:36:10Morally, he's as pure as the driven snow.
00:36:14That's true enough.
00:36:16So why should he jeopardize himself?
00:36:18He can only cause trouble by refusing to accept his position.
00:36:23First, with the police, who'd never believe his story.
00:36:26Secondly, with the industrialist,
00:36:27who, if he's as ruthless as he sounds,
00:36:31might prove to be dangerous himself.
00:36:34Well,
00:36:37it's Lieutenant D'Amico's plot.
00:36:40Let him worry about it.
00:36:42Of course.
00:36:43Bob, I honestly wish you'd change your mind
00:36:45and come to Paris with me.
00:36:47We're in for an exciting time.
00:36:49Tremendous expansion.
00:36:50You'd like it.
00:36:51Maybe I would.
00:36:52Change your mind?
00:36:54I might.
00:36:56Maybe I'd end up with as much dough as you had.
00:36:59Not unless you improved your billiards.
00:37:01That was last time.
00:37:04Pair of kings?
00:37:05Pair of kings?
00:37:06Sorry.
00:37:07Eights over fives.
00:37:11There must be some way of beating you.
00:37:14Not while I'm holding all the cards.
00:37:39You're Krona's daughter.
00:37:43Come away from the door.
00:37:50I know how you must feel, Miss Krona.
00:37:54How you must hate me.
00:37:56Do you?
00:37:57How much hate does it take to kill a man?
00:38:00You should know.
00:38:01I didn't hate your father.
00:38:03I didn't even know him.
00:38:04And yet you murdered him.
00:38:05For what?
00:38:06For money?
00:38:08I could have waited for you outside and killed you.
00:38:11But I wanted to look at you.
00:38:13To talk to you.
00:38:15To see for myself what kind of a man takes money.
00:38:19To murder someone he never even knew.
00:38:21There was nothing else I could do.
00:38:23He had a gun in his hand.
00:38:24He'd already fired once.
00:38:26You've got to believe me.
00:38:28Believe you?
00:38:29A hired gunman?
00:38:31No.
00:38:32You murdered my father because you were paid to do it.
00:38:34No other reason.
00:38:35One dead body.
00:38:37Cash on delivery.
00:38:38He isn't a person.
00:38:40He isn't anyone's father.
00:38:43He's just a new car you can buy when he stops breathing.
00:38:47Your father would have killed Colby.
00:38:49He wasn't himself.
00:38:51Don't lie.
00:38:52It won't help you.
00:38:54I never dreamed I could hate enough to want to kill.
00:38:57I've reason enough to kill you ten times.
00:39:19I'm sorry I had to do that.
00:39:31Why don't you kill me too?
00:39:33You have the gun.
00:39:38I don't want to kill you, Miss Croner.
00:39:40Any more than I wanted to kill your father.
00:39:43I was hired to protect Mr. Colby.
00:39:47Protect him?
00:39:49From what?
00:39:52My father wouldn't have hurt anyone.
00:39:56It isn't easy to believe all this about someone you love, but...
00:40:00When a man is out of his mind...
00:40:05He wasn't out of his mind.
00:40:08A rational person doesn't threaten another man's life.
00:40:11Or break into his house with a gun.
00:40:14He didn't threaten Colby.
00:40:17Then he never owned a gun.
00:40:18How do you know?
00:40:21I knew my father.
00:40:23You didn't.
00:40:26Shall I tell you about him?
00:40:29Do you really want to know about the man you killed?
00:40:33My father was a man who...
00:40:35Sprinkled breadcrumbs on the windowsill every morning.
00:40:39For the birds.
00:40:41A man who'd grow faint if I cut a finger up.
00:40:45Picked up a splinter.
00:40:49Leopold Croner.
00:40:51A man whose child was never taken to the zoo...
00:40:54Because it was cruel to coop up animals in cages.
00:41:01Is that the picture of a housebreaker or a murderer?
00:41:04But he did break into the house.
00:41:06All the doors were locked.
00:41:07I checked them myself.
00:41:09He didn't break in.
00:41:10He was invited.
00:41:13Invited?
00:41:14He was asked to be there at ten o'clock.
00:41:17I was there when he phoned.
00:41:20As though you didn't know all that.
00:41:24Are you sure of this?
00:41:26Do you have any proof?
00:41:29If I had proof...
00:41:30Do you think I'd be here now?
00:41:32Or you would?
00:41:34No, Mr. Regan.
00:41:37If I could prove what I know...
00:41:40You and Colby would be where you belong.
00:41:43In a death cell.
00:41:51Give me my gun.
00:41:59I didn't murder your father.
00:42:03I don't believe you.
00:42:06I don't believe you.
00:42:30I don't believe you.
00:42:53Gracias.
00:43:22Gracias.
00:43:46Where did you find her?
00:43:49The last scene she was trying to kill me.
00:43:53You, uh, asking for protection?
00:43:57Information.
00:43:59I'd like to find out how near you are to pinning this thing on me.
00:44:03You, uh, just keep yourself handy.
00:44:06I'll let you know when the time arrives.
00:44:09Supposing I would have told her that I agreed with you.
00:44:13That I think it was murder.
00:44:17In that case, I'd dig out a little piece of paper and a pencil and have you sign a confession.
00:44:24That's not exactly what I meant.
00:44:26Why not? You could turn state's evidence and see daylight again when you're about 95?
00:44:30I don't have any evidence. Everything I told you was the truth.
00:44:32I was hired as a bodyguard. I killed Kroner in self-defense.
00:44:35Well, what are you worried about?
00:44:36Uh, finally a cut to me. I might have been a patsy in this thing.
00:44:43A frame-up?
00:44:44You must have heard of him in your profession.
00:44:47Not as often as you think.
00:44:51What's the matter, does Kroner damn know something that scared you?
00:44:56Nothing you could arrest me on.
00:44:57That's your opinion.
00:45:00Just what do you want, Regan?
00:45:03I want to work with you on this case.
00:45:06What makes you think I need any help?
00:45:08I'm on the inside. I might be able to dig up something.
00:45:11Yeah, and cover it right up again.
00:45:13You seem to forget you're the one I'm after.
00:45:15No, D'Amico.
00:45:17I'm not the one you want.
00:45:19You pulled the trigger.
00:45:21It was your bullet that killed the guy.
00:45:23If it's murder, you did it.
00:45:25What's the motive?
00:45:27$5,000 you deposited in the bank this afternoon.
00:45:30No.
00:45:35Any more questions?
00:45:36You don't believe I could have been framed?
00:45:38If you were, you're too stupid to be running around loose anyway.
00:45:42In other words, I'd better get out of town.
00:45:44You wouldn't get three feet.
00:45:45What do I do then?
00:45:49Well, if I were in your shoes, I'd go to church every morning.
00:45:53I prayed that a certain cop named D'Amico was running himself right up a blind alley.
00:45:58That's great, except for a couple of little things.
00:46:00What?
00:46:02I'm not a guy that goes around killing people.
00:46:04I like to be able to sleep at night.
00:46:06I just talked with the daughter of the man I killed.
00:46:11Personally, you're in a tough spot.
00:46:14I didn't have to stay up this late to find that out.
00:46:19Isn't there some way we can get together on this?
00:46:22Well, sure.
00:46:23You confess and I'll arrest you.
00:46:26All right.
00:46:28I just start digging around on my own, that's all.
00:46:34Regan, for a lawyer, you're not very smart.
00:46:38Like I said, if you prove that it's murder, you prove that you're a murderer.
00:46:42If it's a frame, there's only one guy can clear you.
00:46:45Call me.
00:46:47And I don't think he'd be too anxious to run to the rescue.
00:46:50Do you?
00:47:01Thanks for nothing.
00:47:03Anytime.
00:47:04Anytime at all.
00:47:19Well, here's all we got on the Krona case.
00:47:22Ah, this won't help.
00:47:24You might try one of the other papers.
00:47:26Already have.
00:47:31Is this guy Nolan still on the paper?
00:47:34James, Timothy Nolan on a newspaper.
00:47:36Did you read that famous bestseller,
00:47:38Whither Away Mankind?
00:47:41No.
00:47:41Nolan wrote it.
00:47:43He told you, whither.
00:47:44Oh, that's great.
00:47:46Where can I reach him now?
00:47:47These days, he lives and insults people at the Barclay Towers.
00:47:56Oh, thanks for the help.
00:47:58Have fun.
00:47:58Bye.
00:48:02I want to see Mr. James Nolan, please.
00:48:04My name is Regan.
00:48:05Yes, sir.
00:48:05All four, Mr. Korn.
00:48:09Five twelve, please.
00:48:12Never mind, operator.
00:48:13There's Mr. Nolan coming out of the elevator now, sir.
00:48:16Thank you.
00:48:17Yes, sir.
00:48:18Mr. Nolan?
00:48:19See my business manager.
00:48:21He'll pay you whatever I owe you.
00:48:23You don't owe me anything, Mr. Nolan.
00:48:24My name's Bob Regan.
00:48:25I want to buy you a drink.
00:48:26I don't care what your name is.
00:48:27I've got ulcers.
00:48:29One minute, please.
00:48:30Oh, boy.
00:48:31Ulcers, huh?
00:48:32Will you send two glasses of milk up to room five twelve?
00:48:36Yes, sir.
00:48:37Thank you.
00:48:37Mr. Nolan, I've been looking forward to meeting you for a long time.
00:48:40I'm a great admirer of yours.
00:48:42Suppose we have a little talk.
00:48:44Well, of course, I don't remember very much about my newspaper days,
00:48:48but I do recall the Kroner case.
00:48:51It was a pretty open and shut affair.
00:48:53Kroner pleaded guilty and they took him away.
00:48:56Do you remember Colby at the trial?
00:48:58Oh, yes.
00:48:59He acted very decent about the whole thing.
00:49:01Tried to do everything he could for Kroner.
00:49:03Oh, come on, Nolan.
00:49:04Earn your milk.
00:49:06I'm looking for angles that weren't reported in the papers.
00:49:09What angles?
00:49:11If I didn't write it in my stories, it wasn't worth mentioning.
00:49:14Well, you let me decide that.
00:49:16What about other people connected with the case?
00:49:19You know, surprise witnesses.
00:49:21What do you think it was?
00:49:22A pulp story?
00:49:24A man pleaded guilty.
00:49:25There were no witnesses.
00:49:29I can't make any money around here.
00:49:33Wait a minute.
00:49:35Come to think of it.
00:49:37There was a guy.
00:49:39The name of Bruno.
00:49:43Victor Bruno.
00:49:44Who was he?
00:49:45Oh, the cops figured there were only three men in the country who could do the engraving job on those
00:49:50counterfeit bonds.
00:49:51One was in the jug, another gone straight, and the third one was this, uh, Bruno.
00:49:56What did he say at the trial?
00:49:57He wasn't at the trial.
00:49:58They never called him.
00:50:00Victor Bruno, then.
00:50:02Say, uh, you don't mind finishing your milk alone, do you?
00:50:04Oh, I thought you wanted to talk about my book.
00:50:08Well, what's there to talk about? You wrote it. You sold it.
00:50:09But, wouldn't you like to hear how I happened to write it?
00:50:14I'm afraid not.
00:50:15No.
00:50:15Not while I'm buying the milk.
00:50:19Someday you give a party and we'll talk about anything you like.
00:50:23Wither away mankind.
00:50:27Hello?
00:50:28Hello, I'm trying to locate a certain Mr. Victor Bruno, an engraver.
00:50:33What?
00:50:33Well, I know this is Theodore Bruno, I...
00:50:36Well, I was just...
00:50:38Well, do you know Victor Bruno?
00:50:41Well, do you know any Bruno that might know a Bruno that would know Victor...
00:50:47Oh, never mind.
00:51:01Fastest pickup I ever made.
00:51:03Don't get the idea that a telephone call gets me running any time of the day or night.
00:51:07It's a nice idea.
00:51:08You've been looking terrible lately.
00:51:09I've got some fresh air to do you good.
00:51:11You said it was important.
00:51:13Well, I feel like seeing you. That's important.
00:51:17Where are we going?
00:51:19To a little parking spot I used to use when I was in high school.
00:51:23Well, I'll have to apologize for the time of day.
00:51:25I used to hit it a lot later in the evening.
00:51:28I'm just as happy with the time of day, thank you.
00:51:31Uh-huh.
00:51:44Boy, oh boy.
00:51:45How I used to operate from this spot.
00:51:47Public School 45 must have been a progressive school.
00:51:51What do you want to see me about, Bob?
00:51:55Well, I made up my mind about a lot of things last night and today.
00:51:58For one thing, I decided I'm not going to Paris with Colby.
00:52:02And another thing I've decided.
00:52:05I don't want you to go to Paris.
00:52:07Really?
00:52:09What do you want me to do?
00:52:11Stick around. See America first.
00:52:13You might get to meet someone you'd like.
00:52:14I might.
00:52:15With Colby, what have you got?
00:52:17Money, influence, travel, yachts.
00:52:21Why don't you let me take you out of all that?
00:52:23That's an offer if I've ever heard one.
00:52:26I'm really very serious.
00:52:29I know you are.
00:52:42What's the matter, Bob?
00:52:44I don't know.
00:52:45Maybe today's not the day.
00:52:48I spent the whole morning going over to the newspaper accounts of the Corona trial.
00:52:51But why?
00:52:53You just naturally get curious about somebody killed.
00:52:57I kept running across the name of Bruno.
00:53:00Who is he?
00:53:02A little engraver that counterfeited the bonds for Corona.
00:53:05Funny.
00:53:06Corona didn't look like the type to get away with a million dollars.
00:53:10Neither did Bruno.
00:53:13He was a strange little man.
00:53:16Tremendous inferiority he was always trying to hide.
00:53:18He never managed to look like anything but a $12 a week bookkeeper.
00:53:22Glasses two feet thick.
00:53:24Not a hair in his head.
00:53:25Bruno.
00:53:26The foreigner?
00:53:28Originally.
00:53:29He spoke with a marked accent.
00:53:33Is Colby going to be at home tonight?
00:53:35I think so. Why?
00:53:39Maybe I could get him to throw some legal business my way.
00:53:42I'll keep him at home for you.
00:53:57You better get me back to the office.
00:54:00One of us has to keep her job.
00:54:04Why, I don't know.
00:54:06Little did I think when I first met Emilio Knieper that you'd be the mother of my children.
00:54:11Why, is there some connection between the two?
00:54:13No, Emilio, no summons.
00:54:14No summons.
00:54:15No children.
00:54:16We'll name our first one Emilio.
00:54:18Over my beautiful muscular dead body.
00:54:30Look out!
00:54:39You're not hurt, are you?
00:54:41Just been a mild case of shattered nerves.
00:54:44Well, feeling that thing slipping didn't do mine any good either.
00:54:46Have I?
00:54:47Thanks.
00:54:48Better to hit you than it felt like Hiroshima.
00:54:52Much obliged.
00:54:55Forget it.
00:54:58I think maybe you've given me a very good idea.
00:55:01Well, just as long as it wasn't a busted head.
00:55:05I may get one yet unless my luck holds out.
00:55:22Hello, Murdoch.
00:55:23Good evening.
00:55:23Much killing going on around the place tonight?
00:55:26I think Mr. Kolb is expecting you.
00:55:29Ask a dull question, you get a dull answer.
00:55:33Oh, hello, Bob.
00:55:35Don't be glad to see me until you find out what I want.
00:55:37Yes, Noel has already told me.
00:55:39I'm sorry you changed your mind about Paris.
00:55:41Have you told him about the services our new firm is prepared to offer?
00:55:44I thought I'd better save that for you.
00:55:46Well, we're offering everything in the legal line.
00:55:48Ambulance chasing and grave subpoenas.
00:55:50Sounds like an up-and-coming outfit.
00:55:52We'll sympathize with our clients' troubles and charge only $500 for the sympathy.
00:55:56That's cheaper than the sympathy I'm getting from Porter and Griswold.
00:55:59Your proposition sounds very attractive.
00:56:02Count me in.
00:56:03One call, one client.
00:56:05Must be my personality.
00:56:06Oh.
00:56:08Did you know your house was being watched?
00:56:10Watched?
00:56:11Yes.
00:56:12Some little bald-headed guy, not a hair on his head, stopped me outside by the lamppost.
00:56:16I don't understand.
00:56:18Well, it was hard to tell just what he wanted.
00:56:19He spoke with an accent.
00:56:21Kept blinking at me through glasses two feet thick.
00:56:24Seemed like he was a little bookkeeper trying to act important.
00:56:28Bruno.
00:56:37You say he stopped you?
00:56:39Yes.
00:56:40He asked me for a light and wanted to know if I was coming in here.
00:56:43Yes?
00:56:44When I told him I was, he said something about being a friend of Croner's and that you'd hear from
00:56:49him.
00:56:50He must have gone. He's not there now.
00:56:55Is there anything I can do?
00:56:57I don't know, Bob.
00:56:59There isn't any danger, is there?
00:57:01I don't think so.
00:57:02Bob.
00:57:02Because if, if you'd like me to talk to him, possibly I will.
00:57:07But there's no hurry.
00:57:08If we want Bruno, we can always reach him.
00:57:11If he's any threat to us, I could see him tonight.
00:57:14No.
00:57:15We'll wait to hear from him.
00:57:17Thanks anyway.
00:57:18Maybe I'll call on you later.
00:57:20I, I hope this news isn't too bad.
00:57:23It isn't good, but we can handle it.
00:57:26Thank you for the information, Bob.
00:57:28I'm glad you dropped around tonight.
00:57:30Thank you for the business.
00:57:36Good night, Norm.
00:57:39Good night.
00:57:44I wonder where Bruno's been all these years.
00:57:47And what brought him back?
00:57:48The newspaper stories, I imagine.
00:57:53He never impressed me as being the sort of fellow who would make threats.
00:57:58He was such a meek little man.
00:58:02Did you ever meet him, Noel?
00:58:06Probably.
00:58:06Oh, of course you did.
00:58:08Sometimes I forget how long you've been with me.
00:58:10How long we've been together.
00:58:12Andrew, do you mind...
00:58:13What was it you once said that he reminded you of a $12 a week bookkeeper, wasn't he?
00:58:19Do you have anything else for me to do this evening?
00:58:22I don't think so.
00:58:24Then I'll say good night.
00:58:26Good night, Noel.
00:58:37Well, hello.
00:58:49This could give me a pretty bad name with my landlady.
00:58:51I'd like to know what you meant by that little performance tonight.
00:58:55Was I convincing?
00:58:57You're not a very nice person, are you, Regan?
00:59:00Your high school parking spot came through beautifully.
00:59:03Now, wait a minute, Noel.
00:59:05No, you wait.
00:59:07I admit I'm a little ashamed at what an easy target I was this afternoon.
00:59:13But primarily, I came here to find out just what you were up to tonight.
00:59:17What's your guess?
00:59:19Blackmail.
00:59:21That's a nice business if you have the right connections.
00:59:25I think I deserve a better answer than that, Bob.
00:59:29You do.
00:59:32Sit down.
00:59:38There are several people in key positions in this town who believe that Krona was deliberately murdered.
00:59:45That's ridiculous.
00:59:47Is it?
00:59:50Would have been comparatively easy for Colby to frame.
00:59:53He invites Krona to the house.
00:59:56In the middle of a conversation, he pulls the gun.
00:59:58He fires one shot into the floor, shoves the gun into Krona's hands,
01:00:01starts wrestling with him and yelling for help.
01:00:03I rush in, Krona turns startled, bang, bang, and it's all over.
01:00:07You must be out of your mind.
01:00:09The police don't think so.
01:00:11In fact, they gave me the idea.
01:00:13Why should Andrew want to kill Krona?
01:00:17Suppose Colby dreamed up this whole counterfeit deal himself.
01:00:22He promises Krona a share of the profits if he'll take the rap,
01:00:25while Colby takes the million and builds up the business.
01:00:28Krona gets out expecting a share of the gravy.
01:00:31Instead, the lights go out.
01:00:35If I use that kind of reasoning, I could think of at least 50 motives while you kill Krona.
01:00:39The police have 5,000.
01:00:42What were you trying to do tonight?
01:00:45I wanted to see Bruno.
01:00:47I thought I could startle Colby into giving me his address,
01:00:49but he doesn't startle so easily.
01:00:52How can you be stupid enough to believe all this?
01:00:56Andrew's one of the finest men I've ever known,
01:00:58and he's certainly been decent enough to you.
01:01:01He may have carried his friendship a little too far for my own good.
01:01:05So you take out the little Kron-fed secretary,
01:01:08prime her up with some fake sincerity,
01:01:10and she spills over with everything you want to know.
01:01:12I know it's not going to be easy to convince you that the things I said today was sincere.
01:01:16It's just about the most hopeless proposition you've ever faced.
01:01:20Things are a lot more desperate than you know.
01:01:22I had to do something.
01:01:24I must have looked like the easiest way.
01:01:30Look.
01:01:32I'm going to have to make another try for Bruno's address tomorrow.
01:01:35If you give me away, I'll be sunk.
01:01:37In more ways than one.
01:01:39Don't ask me for any promises.
01:01:45She went straight to Regan's apartment.
01:01:48I don't know how long she stayed. I didn't wait.
01:01:51I was afraid she had.
01:01:53Why don't you forget that girl and start thinking about Bruno?
01:01:56She's not easy to forget.
01:01:59I think a great deal of Noel, Charles.
01:02:02If Bruno's back, you'll have something else to worry about besides her.
01:02:05The police might be very interested in a statement from him.
01:02:09It isn't like Noel to do anything behind my back.
01:02:12What are you going to do about Bruno?
01:02:14We don't have to do anything, yet.
01:02:17I rather suspect he'll telephone us tomorrow.
01:02:22That'll be plenty of time to decide.
01:02:31Hello?
01:02:32Mr. Andrew Colby, please.
01:02:34Victor Bruno calling.
01:02:36Just a minute, please.
01:02:47You sure this ain't illegal?
01:02:49Look, Emilio, haven't I always been your friend?
01:02:52Sure.
01:02:52Didn't I graduate from law school?
01:02:54Sure.
01:02:55Didn't I get you $68.72 for your pushcart?
01:02:58Not yet.
01:02:59Don't be so greedy.
01:03:01Anyhow, if it hadn't been for your pushcart, we wouldn't be doing this in the first place.
01:03:05Yes?
01:03:06Colby?
01:03:07This is Victor Bruno.
01:03:09Oh, yes.
01:03:12I heard you were around here last night.
01:03:14I didn't like what I read in the paper about Corona.
01:03:17That was unfortunate.
01:03:19Yeah, it will be maybe unfortunate for you if the police all of a sudden find out where I am.
01:03:26Yes, it will.
01:03:28For $10,000, they don't find out.
01:03:31$10,000?
01:03:33That's a lot of money.
01:03:34I've got a lot I could say.
01:03:37The moment I don't have that much money available.
01:03:41I figure you will know where to get it.
01:03:43Possibly.
01:03:45Stop by at my home tonight at 9 o'clock.
01:03:49Oh, no.
01:03:50No, no.
01:03:51I don't make the same mistake that the Corona made.
01:03:54You send it to me.
01:03:56Where?
01:03:58You know the place.
01:04:00You remember the address?
01:04:03Yes.
01:04:04You sure you know?
01:04:06Yes, of course. I remember perfectly.
01:04:08Now, listen, Bruno, I'll give you the money on one condition.
01:04:11I want you out of the country.
01:04:13You and your wife.
01:04:15With the money tonight, there'll be two tickets to Mexico City.
01:04:18Use them.
01:04:19Okay.
01:04:21And be sure to have the money there tonight, 8.30.
01:04:24All right.
01:04:25This is the last, Bruno.
01:04:27Remember.
01:04:29If we're going to stop paying, Bruno, you'll never let us stop.
01:04:33Don't be absurd, Charles.
01:04:34That wasn't Bruno on the telephone.
01:04:36What are you talking about?
01:04:38Who was it?
01:04:43Regan?
01:04:45Or one of his friends.
01:04:47How do you know?
01:04:47I know these things, Charles.
01:04:50That's why I'm such an enormous success.
01:04:53Bruno was here last night.
01:04:54He wasn't here last night.
01:04:55Which are you so sure?
01:04:56Bruno has been dead for five years.
01:04:59How did Regan know what he looked like?
01:05:02Noel, of course.
01:05:05She's the only one who could have given him that description.
01:05:12You never told me Bruno was dead.
01:05:14I thought you'd be happier not knowing.
01:05:16How did he die?
01:05:18Protesting his innocence.
01:05:23What was Regan after?
01:05:25Bruno's whereabouts.
01:05:26Either he's worrying too much about this Kroner business,
01:05:30or he's trying a little blackmail.
01:05:33Regan's no blackmailer.
01:05:38Did you have Bruno killed?
01:05:40Don't be so inquisitive, Charles.
01:05:42I'm not inquisitive.
01:05:44I don't want you to get the idea that anything like that could happen to me.
01:05:48What a curious thing to say.
01:05:50I'm no Kroner.
01:05:51I'm no Bruno.
01:05:52I don't disappear so easily.
01:05:54I hope we'll have you here for some time, Charles.
01:05:57It's my plan exactly, Andrew.
01:06:01What are you going to do about Regan?
01:06:05I've been thinking about that.
01:06:08I want you to go to the bank, Charles, and get that $10,000.
01:06:13Right.
01:06:14After that.
01:06:16Yes.
01:06:17We'll have to do something I'm not going to like at all.
01:06:24What about the girl?
01:06:27What about her?
01:06:28She's involved in this as much as Regan.
01:06:33It looks that way.
01:06:36You don't like the idea of getting rid of her, do you?
01:06:39I don't like it at all.
01:06:43But if I have to, I'll do it.
01:06:47You know that, Charles.
01:06:50Yes, I know that.
01:06:52It's silly to be to doubt it for a moment.
01:06:54On the other hand.
01:06:59I can't see her, yes.
01:07:01That's right.
01:07:02You know what happened?
01:07:12It's silly to be to judge me and.
01:07:13I, you know-
01:07:14I can't see her.
01:07:15Yeah, it's silly to be there.
01:07:16Yeah, we're going to see her.
01:07:16I can't see her.
01:07:16So she's going to see her.
01:07:16I can't see her.
01:07:17She's going to see her.
01:07:20Do see her.
01:07:29Oh, no.
01:07:31There's something I'd like you to do for me this evening if you're not busy.
01:07:35All right.
01:07:36In the safe, there's a large manila envelope with $10,000 in it.
01:07:40Will you get it for me, please?
01:07:42Sure.
01:07:51Then I'd like you to go down to the station and get two tickets for Mexico City
01:07:55and deliver them with the money to an address that I'll give you.
01:08:04Oh, no.
01:08:05Leave it open.
01:08:06There are a few other things I want to get.
01:08:13Thanks.
01:08:17It's for Victor Bruno.
01:08:20You know, it's strange, no?
01:08:22All my life, I've worked for only one thing.
01:08:26Money and the power that goes with it.
01:08:29Right now, I'm on the verge of getting everything I ever wanted to have.
01:08:33And yet, when I look around me,
01:08:36I find there's only one person I know I can really trust.
01:08:39Andrew, please.
01:08:40Even that's remarkable, no?
01:08:42Very few people have anyone.
01:08:44I wonder if you know how much I appreciate it.
01:08:49Well, it'll be nice to get back to Paris again, won't it, Noah?
01:08:52We've always had a lot of fun there.
01:08:55Yes.
01:08:57Andrew, you know...
01:08:59that telephone call from Bruno?
01:09:03Yes.
01:09:05What about it, Noah?
01:09:10Nothing.
01:09:10It's not important.
01:09:15Be sure and get the tickets, Noah.
01:09:16I will.
01:09:18I'm going right away.
01:09:33I'm going right away.

01:16:03No, no, no.
01:16:33Come along.
01:16:48Get the lady's fingerprints.
01:16:54Well, Laughing Boy, I thought I told you not to leave town.
01:16:57Get out, D'Amico.
01:16:58What are the details?
01:16:59Murder and grand theft.
01:17:02And you have an assured prayer of getting out of it.
01:17:06How does she figure in?
01:17:08Oh, come now, Regan.
01:17:10Let's not be ridiculous.
01:17:13Did you find the money?
01:17:14She had it on her.
01:17:15She was buying two tickets to Mexico City.
01:17:19I suppose she wanted a change of scenery.
01:17:24You want to identify this, Mr. Colby?
01:17:27Yes, that's the envelope.
01:17:29I assume the $10,000 is the same.
01:17:35Get me a stenographer in here.
01:17:37He's right here, Lieutenant.
01:17:38Fine.
01:17:42Got anything to say yet, Regan?
01:17:44I'm speechless with your efficiency.
01:17:53Let's have it, Mr. Colby.
01:17:57You understand that this is very difficult for me.
01:18:00Miss Faraday has been my secretary for over six years.
01:18:04Her father was one of my dearest friends.
01:18:06I understand.
01:18:08Well, I was up in my room doing some work about an hour ago.
01:18:14And I heard a shot.
01:18:17At first, I thought it was my imagination.
01:18:20But then I decided to investigate.
01:18:23I found Charles dead on the floor.
01:18:27With Regan's gun beside him.
01:18:30And the safe was open.
01:18:32Look, D'Amico, that was his gun!
01:18:33You can't keep quiet.
01:18:34We'll do this without you.
01:18:35I gave it back to him two days ago.
01:18:37Who saw you?
01:18:37Miss Faraday, she...
01:18:38Mm-hmm.
01:18:43Go ahead, Mr. Colby.
01:18:45Well, I realized that Miss Faraday was the only person
01:18:47besides Charles and myself
01:18:49who knew the combination to the safe.
01:18:51Andrew, you had me open the safe yourself.
01:18:53A couple of nights ago,
01:18:55I happened to overhear a conversation
01:18:57between Mr. Regan and Miss Faraday
01:18:59in which Mexico City was mentioned.
01:19:03So when I called the police, I told them that.
01:19:07Okay, thanks.
01:19:08She was buying two tickets to Mexico City
01:19:09when we picked them up.
01:19:10You already told me that.
01:19:12What are you looking for, a promotion?
01:19:14Lieutenant, he knows why I had the money.
01:19:15He sent me for the tickets.
01:19:16You'll get your chance to talk later, Miss Faraday.
01:19:22What are you trying to do, Andrew?
01:19:25Everyone that's ever meant anything to you.
01:19:30Croner, Charles, and now me.
01:19:34Lieutenant, this is very awkward for me.
01:19:36We're nearly finished, Mr. Colby.
01:19:37Why do you believe him, D'Amico?
01:19:38Only yesterday.
01:19:39That was yesterday.
01:19:40I'm not interested in that case anymore.
01:19:42Personally, I got one right here that suits me fine.
01:19:45Look, what do you want, the truth or a quick arrest?
01:19:47What's your story?
01:19:48This is a frame.
01:19:50You get framed more than any guy I ever met.
01:19:53You're supposed to be a lawyer.
01:19:54Take a look at the evidence.
01:19:55Oh, D'Amico.
01:19:58You better change your charge.
01:19:59The corpse is still alive.
01:20:01Alive?
01:20:02We won't have him forever, but I may be able to string him along through the night.
01:20:07Any chance of him coming, too?
01:20:09If we don't move him.
01:20:11Let me know the minute he comes around.
01:20:14Is it all right if we leave him here, Mr. Colby?
01:20:15Of course.
01:20:17Charles is my very dear friend.
01:20:18I'll see about having him moved upstairs.
01:20:20Don't let him near that room.
01:20:21Are you still running this case?
01:20:23I'm telling you, D'Amico.
01:20:25Don't let this guy near us.
01:20:25Just a minute, Regan.
01:20:27You're under arrest.
01:20:28You're not giving any advice around here.
01:20:29Just get that through your head.
01:20:30He's been one of my closest friends for years, naturally.
01:20:32I'd want to see him before he dies.
01:20:34The doctor says he can't be moved.
01:20:36If I'm liable to pop off any minute, I'd better wait around and have a talk with him.
01:20:40Maybe we all better wait around.
01:21:11Maybe we all better wait around.
01:21:15Well, D'Amico's in his glory.
01:21:18Two new suspects, fresh blood on the floor.
01:21:21Onecub makes the virus cry.
01:21:25Four new protections, fresh blood on the floor.
01:21:48Onecub makes the virus cry.
01:21:51¡Suscríbete al canal!
01:22:21I was convinced that the other killing I'd done was murder.
01:22:26Colby figured on that one.
01:22:30If only somebody could find it.
01:22:32Bruno's probably dead, too.
01:22:34Otherwise, how could Colby be sure it wasn't Bruno on the phone?
01:22:37Yes, I suppose so.
01:22:40How could I be such a dope?
01:22:42You?
01:22:45I've been second-guessing the whole way.
01:22:48Regan, the boy detective.
01:22:51You couldn't have put your life in worse hands.
01:22:56Come on in, Regan.
01:22:57I want to ask you a couple of questions.
01:23:00What about Charles?
01:23:02He's still out.
01:23:28He's still out there.
01:23:56Gracias por ver el video.
01:23:59Gracias por ver el video.
01:24:55Gracias por ver el video.
01:25:28Gracias.
01:26:59Gracias.
