00:03:45Who is it?
00:03:46Telegram.
00:03:48Come in.
00:03:52Thanks.
00:04:25You're welcome.
00:04:36Copy, boy.
00:04:40Hi, Max.
00:04:42Hi, you.
00:04:46Hi.
00:04:47Hi.
00:04:49I'm all set up for an extra.
00:04:51I'm waiting for a flash from the death house now.
00:04:53Brett's covering him.
00:04:56Got 30 for Crusher.
00:04:59Well, put up a good fight.
00:05:02Yeah, a good fight.
00:05:04With no dough.
00:05:05A lawyer still wet behind the ears.
00:05:07And this crusading sheet convicting him in the headlines before the jury was even picked.
00:05:11Shut up, Cleve.
00:05:12His wife dropped in to see you a while ago.
00:05:14I said shut up.
00:05:16She said she'd be back.
00:05:24Come on.
00:05:25You don't have that drawer fixed, Hugh.
00:05:27Just in case of an emergency.
00:05:32You got a nasty mind, Cleve.
00:05:34Wouldn't do you any good if I did get the business.
00:05:36Running this paper takes more than you've got.
00:05:41Greetings, gents.
00:05:43Hi, Hugh.
00:05:44Cleve.
00:05:45Hiya, Cleve.
00:05:46Thought you were in San Francisco.
00:05:48Was.
00:05:49Got a wire from a guy about a job, maybe.
00:05:51Don't tell me the boss says all is forgiven and you're coming back to work.
00:05:54Don't worry.
00:05:55I won't tell you that, Cleve.
00:05:56Thought maybe you could give me a rundown on this guy, Hugh.
00:05:58Yeah, perhaps.
00:06:00Anything else in the schedule, Cleve?
00:06:02No.
00:06:03But Nick Dyke's here.
00:06:05Dyke?
00:06:06Where?
00:06:07In with the boss.
00:06:10He is, huh?
00:06:12Come on, Slade.
00:06:13This might be interesting.
00:06:18Mr. Fresney, Mr. Vaughn's in conference.
00:06:20I know.
00:06:21That's why I'm going in.
00:06:22Wait here.
00:06:24Pleasure.
00:06:26I see Vaughn has redecorated since I was here.
00:06:29Lovely color scheme.
00:06:33You shouldn't embarrass Mr. Vaughn by going over my head, Dyke.
00:06:36Besides, as owner, publisher and managing editor of the dispatch, he's much too busy to talk to you.
00:06:40That's what you say.
00:06:42What I say goes, Nick.
00:06:43You may run the local gambling and rig the rest of the rackets all you want.
00:06:46But you can't buy this paper or run this city as long as I'm here.
00:06:50That's a very pretty speech.
00:06:52But it don't mean a thing.
00:06:54Hey, Vaughn?
00:06:57Your number's up, Dyke.
00:06:59I'm going to break you just like I broke Cressor if it's the last thing I do.
00:07:04It probably will be.
00:07:06You're too emotional, Hugh.
00:07:08Mr. Dyke and I were coming to a sensible understanding before you came in and...
00:07:11No understanding, but Nick Dyke makes sense.
00:07:13Say, who is the boss around here anyway?
00:07:17Well, I...
00:07:18Well, goodbye, Vaughn.
00:07:22I'll see you later, Fresny.
00:07:24When I'm not looking, you hope.
00:07:34I'd forgotten.
00:07:36You meet such interesting people in the newspaper business.
00:07:41What's your name?
00:07:43Did you wish to see Mr. Vaughn?
00:07:45Not if I can help it.
00:07:46I don't think he wants to see me either.
00:07:48My name's Slade.
00:07:49I've heard Mr. Vaughn speak of you.
00:07:51Bet he burned your ears off, didn't he?
00:07:53Huh?
00:07:59Hello, Dana.
00:08:00Hello, Pop.
00:08:01How you been?
00:08:02Oh, just fine, Tim.
00:08:03Just fine.
00:08:04How are you?
00:08:06Say, Pop, how about a formal intro, huh?
00:08:08Uh, oh, sure, Tim.
00:08:10Allow me to introduce Miss Dana Jones.
00:08:12Dana?
00:08:13Mr. Tim Slade.
00:08:15A good reporter gone wrong.
00:08:16It's going to be a pleasure, Dana.
00:08:20We'll have to discuss this further, Hugh.
00:08:25Are you waiting to see me?
00:08:27No.
00:08:28Good.
00:08:30Hello, Pop.
00:08:31Pop, what's new?
00:08:33Nothing new, Fresny.
00:08:35You'll find that out when you get to be an intelligent
00:08:37and broken-down old newspaper man like me.
00:08:40I should live so long.
00:08:41How do you like to dispatch these days?
00:08:43Murder, she-stated, rotten politics,
00:08:46scum dredged up to offend the censors.
00:08:49Circulation, Pop.
00:08:50You're riding for a fall, Fresny.
00:08:53How'd you guess?
00:08:54Ain't no guess, my boy.
00:08:56Okay, Pop, but it's a swell ride while it lasts.
00:09:00See you around.
00:09:02How about dinner some night?
00:09:05Second Thursday and next week.
00:09:07It's a date.
00:09:08Mr. Fresny?
00:09:09Right.
00:09:09Cut it short, will you, lady?
00:09:11I'm pretty busy.
00:09:12I'm Mrs. Kresser.
00:09:13Oh.
00:09:14Yes, Mrs. Kresser.
00:09:16Believe me, you have my deepest sympathy.
00:09:20Sympathy?
00:09:20You rotten liar.
00:09:23Why, I could kill you, you murderer.
00:09:27Men like you shouldn't be allowed to live.
00:09:29Now, look, Mrs. Kresser.
00:09:31All I do is run a newspaper.
00:09:33Your husband was tried and found guilty according to law.
00:09:36They're killing him because every story you printed in your dirty newspaper told them to.
00:09:41He's innocent.
00:09:42I'm his wife.
00:09:43I know.
00:09:48Fresny.
00:09:50Okay, Brett, shoot.
00:09:51Wilson, grab number four.
00:09:53It's Brett with the execution story.
00:09:54We roll as soon as you've got the lead.
00:09:57It's happened.
00:09:59Yes, Mrs. Kresser.
00:10:05Hey, Jake.
00:10:07Let's have a picture of the widow.
00:10:10I'm sorry, Mrs. Kresser.
00:10:18If the law says a life for a life, I say so, too.
00:10:23Remember that, Mr. Fresny.
00:10:27Oh, my God.
00:10:37You beginning to get the idea?
00:10:39Yeah, and I don't like it.
00:10:41That's why I sent for you.
00:10:43You got a room?
00:10:44Not yet.
00:10:46Might as well stay with me.
00:10:49Here's my address.
00:10:50Malibu Beach.
00:10:53See you out there?
00:10:54So long.
00:11:25Midnight.
00:11:26X-ray paper.
00:11:27X-ray.
00:11:29X-ray.
00:11:29X-ray.
00:11:30We know.
00:11:30X-ray.
00:11:32X-ray.
00:11:36Tomorrow, we start in on Nick Dyke.
00:11:39Complete picture layout of his gambling joint.
00:11:42I still think we ought to do it.
00:11:44I still think we ought to handle Dyke with kid gloves.
00:11:45Look, we're gaining circulation at the rate of $16,000 a day.
00:11:49That's money in the bank.
00:11:51You don't do it with kid gloves.
00:11:54But, Hugh, it's not right.
00:11:56But, Hugh, it's not right.
00:11:56We're making enemies.
00:11:57Why, every other paper in town is taking punches at us.
00:12:00You know why, don't you?
00:12:02Our new circulation used to be theirs.
00:12:04My point is, Dyke isn't like Kresser.
00:12:07He's got a powerhouse behind him.
00:12:10We've got a car behind us.
00:12:17Do you think they're following us?
00:12:19We've been sticking pretty close for some time.
00:12:21I'm going to step on it.
00:12:23And we'll find out for sure.
00:12:36This is outrageous.
00:12:37Dyke wouldn't dare.
00:12:39Oh, no.
00:12:40I'm not the kind of a guy you want to handle with gloves.
00:13:00Hang on.
00:13:00I'm going to turn at the driveway.
00:13:16I'm not the kind of a guy you want to handle with gloves.
00:13:18I'm not the kind of a guy you want to handle with gloves.
00:13:24I'm not the guy you want to handle with gloves.
00:13:25I'm not the guy you want to handle with gloves.
00:13:26I'm not the guy you want to handle with gloves.
00:13:27I'm not the guy you want to handle with gloves.
00:13:28I'm not the guy you want to handle with gloves.
00:13:28I'm not the guy you want to handle with gloves.
00:13:29I'm not the guy you want to handle with gloves.
00:13:29I'm not the guy you want to handle with gloves.
00:13:31I'm not the guy you want to handle with gloves.
00:13:32I'm not the guy you want to handle with gloves.
00:13:32I'm not the guy you want to handle with gloves.
00:13:47What's all the noise?
00:13:50Somebody shot at us.
00:13:51Shot at you?
00:13:53How nice. Anybody we know?
00:13:56Looks like a .45.
00:13:58Hello, Julie.
00:14:01Drilled through the back and got stuck in the cushions.
00:14:03Why don't you boys stop playing cowboy?
00:14:07We're willing, but it's always open season for editors.
00:14:10They might have killed me.
00:14:12Too bad.
00:14:13If they wanted to kill anybody, I think it was me.
00:14:16I got an idea that little target practice was just a warning.
00:14:19Why don't you call the police?
00:14:21Forget it.
00:14:22Well, I can't forget it.
00:14:23And what's more, I'm going to take the hint.
00:14:25You've got to drop that dyke story.
00:14:28Are you kidding?
00:14:29I haven't even started yet.
00:14:31That's fine, Hugh.
00:14:33I'm rather looking forward to being a rich widow.
00:14:37Listen, Hugh, I say drop the whole thing or else.
00:14:41Or else what?
00:14:42Or else you can leave the paper.
00:14:45Ha!
00:14:47So we drop the dyke story.
00:14:49And all the other live stories.
00:14:52So we play out the Sunday morning sermons, bridge games at women's clubs,
00:14:55human interest stories about the kiddies.
00:14:57Fine circulation builders.
00:14:59Ah, beautiful.
00:15:02Especially the kiddies.
00:15:04Ha!
00:15:05You can't fire me, Clint.
00:15:07Have you forgotten I had my lawyer draw up my contract guaranteeing no interference from you?
00:15:13And he's the smartest contract lawyer in town.
00:15:17Oh, I wish I had sold the paper when my father died.
00:15:22Look, Clint.
00:15:24You hired the best city editor in the West, with all due modesty,
00:15:27because your old man left you a dying horse.
00:15:30I put life back into it, didn't I?
00:15:33Little things like this happen when you have a fighting newspaper working for you.
00:15:36But, Hugh, I'm not like you.
00:15:38I want people to like me, to be my friends.
00:15:41Yes, he read a book once about how to win friends.
00:15:44I didn't get my reputation trying to win friends.
00:15:47You go ahead and read your books, Clint.
00:15:49Let me run the paper in my own way.
00:15:52You boys better get yourselves measured for a couple of portable foxholes.
00:15:56How about a drink?
00:15:58I could certainly use one.
00:16:01Yeah, I'll take a nightcap, Julie.
00:16:03Couldn't we arrange for a police guard?
00:16:05The police don't like us much more than Dyke.
00:16:08I've been riding them pretty hard lately.
00:16:11Wait a minute.
00:16:13How about Tim Slade?
00:16:15Slade?
00:16:16Is he back in town?
00:16:18Yes, he's a private detective now.
00:16:21Think I'll put him to work on our side.
00:16:23He's a smart operator.
00:16:25I'll say he is.
00:16:27He'd like to see me dead.
00:16:29Oh, Clint, that was a long time ago.
00:16:32He's forgotten all about it.
00:16:33What makes you so sure?
00:16:35If you want to use him, that's your business.
00:16:37But keep him away from me.
00:16:39No, Tony, what are you might dig up on Nick Dyke?
00:16:42Thanks.
00:16:43Well, good night, Clint.
00:16:45Julie?
00:16:46Good night.
00:16:47Say hello to Tim.
00:16:49You must bring him to dinner real soon.
00:16:52Okay.
00:16:54I'll tell him.
00:16:55See you tomorrow, Clint.
00:17:08Good night.
00:17:15Good night.
00:17:19Good night.
00:17:21Good night.
00:17:23Good night.
00:17:26Good night.
00:17:26Good night.
00:17:26Good night.
00:17:26Good night.
00:17:27Good night.
00:17:29Good night.
00:17:31Good night.
00:17:48Hey, come in here before you freeze to death.
00:17:53Nice ocean you got.
00:17:55Yeah.
00:17:56Make yourself at home.
00:17:57I did.
00:17:59I grabbed a plane and came down as soon as I got your wire.
00:18:01What's the gag?
00:18:03No gag, Tim.
00:18:06I mean about me being named beneficiary in your insurance policy.
00:18:11That doesn't sell, Hugh.
00:18:13Maybe that's because I love you more than my ex-wife.
00:18:16I remember how you felt about her.
00:18:18That doesn't add up to ten grand.
00:18:20Can't measure a friendship in dollars, Tim.
00:18:24Come on down off that cloud and talk sense.
00:18:27I've been batting around, crammed a lot of living into my 42 years.
00:18:30I guess you know that.
00:18:32I can smell death when it's close.
00:18:34I can smell it now.
00:18:37You're still over my head.
00:18:38You heard Nick Dyke and Mrs. Cress are talking tonight.
00:18:41They weren't kidding.
00:18:42They meant it.
00:18:44I never knew an editor worth his salt that didn't have his life threatened for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
00:18:50It reminds me.
00:18:50Got anything to eat in this place?
00:18:52Yeah.
00:18:53Let's take a look.
00:18:58I'm no bodyguard, Hugh.
00:18:59You ought to know that.
00:19:01I can get you a good strong-armed boy if that's what you want.
00:19:04You're one of the best police reporters that ever worked for me, Tim.
00:19:06You better warn me before you say anything like that.
00:19:10That's one of the reasons I backed you and that detective agency of yours.
00:19:13Incidentally, you still owe me 500 bucks.
00:19:15In another three months, I'll be able to pay you back.
00:19:18In another three months, I'll be forgotten.
00:19:22Get back on the beam, Hugh.
00:19:24Someone took some shots at us tonight.
00:19:27They might have been meant for Vaughn, but everybody knows he's soft.
00:19:30They all know that I'm steering him.
00:19:32I think they were meant for me.
00:19:34Here's one of the slugs.
00:19:3645, huh?
00:19:38Got a glass over there?
00:19:40Makes a neat hole.
00:19:42Dyke or some of the Cressor followers?
00:19:43I'd say Dyke.
00:19:45Cressor's a long shot.
00:19:47A lot of other starters in the race.
00:19:49Give me some of the other entries.
00:19:51I fired a reporter named Hallam a couple of weeks ago.
00:19:56He and Vaughn's secretary were pretty sweet on each other.
00:20:00Dana Jones?
00:20:00She looks smarter than that.
00:20:03Hallam took a smack at me.
00:20:05I knocked him cold.
00:20:07Fixed it so he couldn't get another job in this town, so he went east.
00:20:10But a week later, I get a call from a dame.
00:20:13Sounded like she was talking through a whole box of tissues.
00:20:16And she tells me I'm going to get mine.
00:20:20Dana doesn't look trigger-happy to me.
00:20:22I'll give you Hallam on a show bet.
00:20:24Even Vaughn's beginning to hate me because he's yellow.
00:20:27He got scared.
00:20:29You're living up to past performances, Hugh.
00:20:31The works are nothing at all, huh?
00:20:33One newspaper can't clean up this town.
00:20:35Not the way I went at it.
00:20:37That was one of my mistakes.
00:20:40The other one I've made all my life.
00:20:42I like to smash people that get in my way.
00:20:46Smash people hate easy, Hugh.
00:20:50I wired you, Tim, for a reason you may not understand.
00:20:53I want to be through pretty quick.
00:20:55That don't scare me.
00:20:57I carry a gun.
00:20:58That heavy stick you saw in the other room.
00:21:01But if they get me in the back,
00:21:02don't even give me a 50-50 chance.
00:21:05I'd like you to get the head man, Tim.
00:21:09You mean you want to reach out from that slab in the morgue
00:21:12and pick off the guy that got you?
00:21:14It's like you to want to do a thing like that, Hugh.
00:21:16You still owe me 500.
00:21:18See me through this and you can write it off.
00:21:21Not much for me to do,
00:21:22but stick around and wait for your funeral.
00:21:23It's a good deal.
00:21:25That 10 grand insurance will be your bonus.
00:21:27That was the last. Forget it.
00:21:29Looks like you're the only one around here
00:21:30that doesn't hate me, Tim.
00:21:32Don't worry.
00:21:33I'm not going to cry on your shoulder.
00:21:34Look, you're not going to die
00:21:36and I'm not taking you 10 grand.
00:21:37It's against my business ethics.
00:21:39Those don't bother me.
00:21:42It's your social ethics I'm worried about.
00:21:44Social ethics?
00:21:46Julie's still crazy about you.
00:21:48Don't worry about that.
00:21:49I'll steer clear of her.
00:21:51That's just it.
00:21:52She wants you to come to dinner.
00:21:54You'll have to go.
00:21:56Promise me you won't make any passes, huh?
00:21:59You won't have anything to worry about
00:22:00if Dana Jones is there.
00:22:04You've got a deal.
00:22:09Shall we go in the living room?
00:22:12We'll have coffee in there, please.
00:22:15Well, tell me, have you heard from Peggy?
00:22:17I haven't heard from her for some time.
00:22:19I don't know.
00:22:20Let's take a breath.
00:22:21I want to ask you a few questions.
00:22:23All right.
00:22:27Is this the third degree?
00:22:29If I don't talk, do you get rough?
00:22:31In a nice way.
00:22:32Listen down.
00:22:42This Hallam guy, where'd he go after Fresny fired him?
00:22:45Well, how should I know?
00:22:47He said Chicago.
00:22:48I haven't heard.
00:22:49He was your boyfriend, wasn't he?
00:22:51Does he have to be?
00:22:53It could be that I just hate to see a good guy
00:22:55get kicked in the teeth.
00:22:57It's nice to meet an honest dame once in a while.
00:23:00Well, if you were in some other business,
00:23:02it might not be such a surprise.
00:23:07Did you have to invite your secretary to my dinner party?
00:23:10Hmm?
00:23:11Oh, well, as a host, I had to provide Slade
00:23:14with someone whom I could trust to look after him.
00:23:17I see.
00:23:28You've got to do something for me, Hugh.
00:23:30Brandy?
00:23:30Chartreuse?
00:23:31Cream de mint?
00:23:32Brandy.
00:23:35I've got to see Tim alone.
00:23:38Tonight?
00:23:39No, not tonight, but very soon.
00:23:41I thought perhaps it's your beach house.
00:23:45I don't think that's a good idea, honey.
00:23:48Why don't you try to forget about him?
00:23:51I thought it was all over, Hugh.
00:23:54But it isn't.
00:23:56I can't go on like this any longer.
00:23:58Leave me out of this, will you?
00:23:59I've got enough grief without that.
00:24:02There's coffee.
00:24:04Oh, hi, Clint.
00:24:05Don't mind my playing bartender, do you?
00:24:08Why, no.
00:24:09As a matter of fact, it's nice to see a man
00:24:11presiding at the bar for a change.
00:24:14I said there's coffee.
00:24:26Dana, there's coffee in the living room.
00:24:28I'll get it.
00:24:29Well, I've had mine.
00:24:30Besides, I'd like to talk to you for a minute.
00:24:32It's all the same to you.
00:24:33I'll get mine before it's cold.
00:24:41Trying to turn the little girl's head?
00:24:43I think it's on pretty solid.
00:24:52Haven't played this game in years.
00:24:55Neither have I.
00:24:57Oh, no?
00:24:59Oh, no, Tim, I mean that.
00:25:01I've waited.
00:25:02I knew I'd be seeing you again.
00:25:04Look, Julie.
00:25:05I'm here on business, strictly business.
00:25:09It's funny.
00:25:10You hired to protect the life of my husband.
00:25:14Fresno, he hired me to take care of him.
00:25:16Oh, but Clint's been threatened, too.
00:25:18He was fired at the other night.
00:25:19He can get his own boy.
00:25:21Of course.
00:25:22If anything should happen to Clint,
00:25:26it would simplify everything for you and me.
00:25:32It would, huh?
00:25:33Yes.
00:25:34The paper would be mine,
00:25:36and you could run it for me.
00:25:38I can't wait.
00:25:43Go on and take care of your guests, Julie.
00:25:45I'll talk to you later.
00:25:46Oh, don't be so stuffy.
00:25:48Do as I tell you.
00:25:55Don't hurt him, darling.
00:26:01I don't like the games you play, Slade.
00:26:04I don't play games.
00:26:07I didn't ask to be your guest.
00:26:09All right, so it was Julie who invited you.
00:26:10Nevertheless, you might have the decency to expect...
00:26:12I'm not the decent kind.
00:26:13You ought to know that, Vaughn.
00:26:15You fired me when I told you
00:26:16Julie was marrying you for your dough.
00:26:18No decent guy would have told you that.
00:26:19Why should I change for the better at this late date?
00:26:21I'm not going to let you make a fool out of me, Slade.
00:26:24You've already done that to yourself.
00:26:26Hey, is this a private fight,
00:26:27or can I take a hand?
00:26:28Private.
00:26:29Oh, cut it, boys.
00:26:30I'll buy you both a drink if you come inside.
00:26:32I don't like his brand, Hugh.
00:26:34I know what's been going on behind my back.
00:26:36I've traced Julie's telephone calls to you in San Francisco.
00:26:39All right, so I answer my telephone.
00:26:41Maybe I like the sound of her voice.
00:26:43Come on, you two.
00:26:44Break it up.
00:26:45Consider it broken.
00:26:46I'm leaving.
00:26:46Good.
00:26:47And I hope you'll make that permanent.
00:26:48I don't want to see you around here or at the paper either.
00:26:51Don't worry.
00:26:51You won't.
00:26:55Hey.
00:26:56You're still working for me.
00:26:57Don't forget that.
00:26:57Get yourself another boy.
00:26:58I'm through.
00:26:59Trouble?
00:27:00Yeah.
00:27:01I thought so.
00:27:02I'm leaving.
00:27:03Can I take you home?
00:27:03Would you rather stay?
00:27:04As a matter of fact,
00:27:06the atmosphere around here doesn't agree with me.
00:27:08I'll go now.
00:27:09Take it easy, kid.
00:27:10We'll talk it over when you get home.
00:27:11Look after him, will you, honey?
00:27:12That's what I'm doing.
00:27:14I'm doing.
00:27:32I'm doing.
00:27:34Where's Tim?
00:27:35He just left.
00:27:37Asked me to say goodbye and thank you for a very pleasant evening.
00:27:41Did he?
00:27:45Oh, I'm sorry.
00:27:46Everything turned out the way it did.
00:27:51I wanted to give Tim a note to tell him so.
00:27:54Will you give it to him for me?
00:27:56Sure.
00:27:58Well, maybe I'd better mail it.
00:28:01I wouldn't peek.
00:28:03I'll mail it.
00:28:25Where are you going, bud?
00:28:26I work here.
00:28:28What's wrong?
00:28:29Oh, you'll find out.
00:28:30Wait a minute.
00:28:31Didn't you just come out of this building?
00:28:33Not me.
00:28:35Okay.
00:28:36Go ahead.
00:28:40I was sitting at my desk when I heard one shot.
00:28:43Go on.
00:28:44Well, then I heard another shot, and I got out here as quick as I could.
00:28:50This one's dead, Inspector.
00:28:52Hey, Doc, he's still alive.
00:28:56Take him up to the office.
00:29:09How did it happen, Cleve?
00:29:11I don't know.
00:29:12Vaughn and Fresno left the city room together.
00:29:14I'd better see how he is.
00:29:15Joe, get a stretcher.
00:29:16Okay, Inspector.
00:29:18Hey, you.
00:29:19Who, me?
00:29:19Yes, you.
00:29:20Where do you fit in here?
00:29:22Special investigator for the paper.
00:29:23My name's Slade.
00:29:25Special investigator, huh?
00:29:27Seems to me you got here awful quick.
00:29:29Not quick enough.
00:29:31I'll talk to you later.
00:29:33Any time, Inspector.
00:29:44I'll talk to you later.
00:29:44I told you that Bond would go off any minute.
00:29:46I thought you were on the train to Sarans.
00:29:47Let's go.
00:29:48I was delayed.
00:29:50You know Bond's dead?
00:29:51Yes.
00:29:53You notified Julie?
00:29:54I tried, but I couldn't get her.
00:29:55Try again.
00:29:56Fresno in here?
00:30:05Give you a hand, Doc?
00:30:07No, thanks.
00:30:09Near miss you.
00:30:10How do you feel?
00:30:12Thought you were on your way home.
00:30:13He just rehired me.
00:30:15I'll stick around till you're on your feet again.
00:30:17Good boy.
00:30:18Better keep out of Vaughn's way.
00:30:20Vaughn's dead.
00:30:22Oh, stop.
00:30:24Let me out of here.
00:30:26Take it easy.
00:30:27Don't try to move yet, Hugh.
00:30:29I'm awfully sorry.
00:30:30I don't know what to say.
00:30:32Well, you know what to do.
00:30:34Cut the gap.
00:30:35Don't just stand there.
00:30:36Get out of special.
00:30:39Take my desk.
00:30:42Just temporarily, sweetheart.
00:30:44I'll take care of everything.
00:30:45Give him the bare facts in this edition.
00:30:46Save the wallet for the final.
00:30:48Vaughn is your story.
00:30:50I understand.
00:30:51Play it up for the big loss to the city.
00:30:53Anybody hear his last words?
00:30:54No.
00:30:55Oh, never mind.
00:30:56Put some in his mouth.
00:30:57Quote, I'm just a fallen soldier.
00:30:59The fight is not over.
00:31:01My paper will carry on.
00:31:03Unquote.
00:31:04We're setting up Vaughn's obit now.
00:31:06I got a nice one on you.
00:31:08I'll save it for you.
00:31:09Thank you so much.
00:31:11How is he, Doc?
00:31:12I think I'd better run him over to hospital.
00:31:15Collins, don't forget the police in your lead.
00:31:18You know, they're working on all the angles, making arrests before morning.
00:31:23They love Vaughn.
00:31:24They're all broken up over his death.
00:31:27Word got around that I was alive.
00:31:29They were even more broken up.
00:31:31Okay.
00:31:32Okay.
00:31:32All right, Fresny.
00:31:33Your paper's been writing the department for weeks.
00:31:36We just love to be called grafters, quitters, cowards.
00:31:39And in headlines.
00:31:40We try to do our job.
00:31:42I'll help you all I can.
00:31:44Can you give it to a straight here?
00:31:47Oh, the special investigator again, huh?
00:31:50That's right, Inspector.
00:31:51He's here to help.
00:31:53That's all right with me.
00:31:55All right, let's have it, Fresny.
00:31:57Well, Vaughn and I were finished talking about how to treat the dyke story.
00:32:02Vaughn started down the stairs.
00:32:05I don't know.
00:32:05I think there was something wrong with the elevator.
00:32:07Were you alone out there?
00:32:09I'll ask the questions.
00:32:12Vaughn turned back to talk to me, and I was just telling him.
00:32:15When there was a shot, Vaughn grabbed me and called out.
00:32:19I think he said, get him, Hugh.
00:32:21I'm shot.
00:32:22Get him.
00:32:23As he went down, there was another shot.
00:32:25That's the one that got me, I guess.
00:32:26It spun me around.
00:32:27I went to my knees, and something hit me over the head.
00:32:29I felt myself falling.
00:32:31I hit the stairs.
00:32:34That's about all.
00:32:35I passed out.
00:32:37Did you get a look at the guy that cracked you?
00:32:39Are you running this, or shall I?
00:32:41Go ahead, Inspector.
00:32:43Did you see the guy that...
00:32:46Go ahead.
00:32:46Answer the question.
00:32:47I didn't see anybody.
00:32:49Whoever it was, he was in back of me.
00:32:53Do you know anybody that might have wanted to kill Vaughn?
00:32:56Huh.
00:32:57What's so funny?
00:32:59Sorry, Inspector.
00:33:00I lost my head.
00:33:01Lots of people feel like killing editors.
00:33:04Feel strong enough to walk to the elevator?
00:33:06Yeah, I can walk.
00:33:13Slade, tell Collins to offer a reward of $5,000 for the killer.
00:33:17For the killers.
00:33:18I'll be back.
00:33:19Can't keep me in any hospital.
00:33:28All right, gang.
00:33:30Get back to your desk.
00:33:31What do you think?
00:33:31We got a paper to turn out.
00:33:33Over here, Jake.
00:33:34Get a couple of good shots of Fresno.
00:33:35Now, save your flashes, Jake.
00:33:37Cleve, are you crazy?
00:33:39Vaughn's your story.
00:33:40Splash his pictures all over.
00:33:41As a boy.
00:33:42With his old man.
00:33:43As a bridegroom.
00:33:45Don't bother with me.
00:33:46I'm no story.
00:33:47Well, I thought I would dress up the front page, you know.
00:33:51Maybe you better take over my desk, Tim.
00:33:53No, thanks.
00:34:01Hello?
00:34:02Yes, this is Mr. Vaughn's office.
00:34:04Who?
00:34:06Mr. Vaughn.
00:34:07Well, no, I'm sorry, but Mr. Vaughn just...
00:34:09Wait a minute.
00:34:12Hello?
00:34:14No, this isn't Mr. Vaughn.
00:34:15He's not here at the moment.
00:34:19I see.
00:34:20Union Station, front of a newsstand.
00:34:2445 minutes.
00:34:26Who shall I say called?
00:34:30You'll know, huh?
00:34:32Thanks, I'll tell him.
00:34:35Who is that?
00:34:37I don't know, but I'll soon find out.
00:34:44Oh, Tim, I've just seen Clint.
00:34:47They were taking him away.
00:34:48This is no place for you.
00:34:49Why don't you go home?
00:34:50I have to talk to you.
00:34:51I haven't got time.
00:34:52Oh, but, Tim, it's important.
00:34:53I have something to tell you.
00:34:55Meet me at the house.
00:34:56There'll be cops around there.
00:34:58Meet me at the beach house in about an hour.
00:35:00It's open.
00:35:00I'll be there.
00:35:01And listen, don't answer any questions.
00:35:04Just tell them you don't feel well or something.
00:35:05All right.
00:35:14Now arriving from San Francisco, Fresno, and Bakersfield.
00:35:20San Francisco, Fresno.
00:35:27Hello, Father.
00:35:30Waiting for somebody?
00:35:31Oh, no.
00:35:32I'd just like to hang around these places for my health.
00:35:35You're too young to understand the mystic qualities of unknown destination.
00:35:39If you're waiting for Vaughn, he's not coming.
00:35:41Not coming?
00:35:43Why, I left him a message.
00:35:44He knows it's important.
00:35:46He doesn't know anything.
00:35:47He's dead.
00:35:50What?
00:35:51He'll be reading about it in the papers.
00:35:54Have you got something for him?
00:35:56Too late.
00:35:58Too late.
00:36:00There's a tide in the affairs of men which you...
00:36:03Yeah, I know, Pop.
00:36:03I know.
00:36:05I can spare some dough if you need it.
00:36:09No, thank you.
00:36:43What does Gary got to do with all this?
00:36:46How should I know?
00:36:47He came out to the house to see Clint a few times.
00:36:50But they always stopped talking when I came around.
00:36:52Did he always carry the briefcase?
00:36:54I wouldn't know.
00:36:55Well, you'd better give me back that note I wrote to you...
00:36:58...before anyone else sees it.
00:37:00What note?
00:37:03Well, it was a note I wrote last night.
00:37:09I wanted to give it to you, but you'd already gone.
00:37:12So I mailed it like a fool.
00:37:15What was in it?
00:37:17Well, I don't remember exactly.
00:37:19I wasn't thinking very straight when I wrote it.
00:37:22It was something about our being together and...
00:37:25...and trying to get rid of Clint.
00:37:27Of course, I meant divorce, but...
00:37:30...now that Clint's dead, it sounds terrible.
00:37:32See what I mean?
00:37:33Yeah, I certainly do.
00:37:34Where'd you send it?
00:37:36To the paper.
00:37:37Blue envelope with my initials on the back, you know.
00:37:41Don't worry about it.
00:37:42I'll pick it up when I get back.
00:37:45Something else more important, Julie.
00:37:48I don't know whether you know this or not, but you're in the spot.
00:37:52So are you.
00:37:53Never mind about me.
00:37:55They got your husband.
00:37:56You might be next.
00:37:58You think so?
00:38:01Of course, it might have been a mistake...
00:38:02...and they were really after Fresney.
00:38:03I don't know.
00:38:05It might be somebody we haven't even thought of.
00:38:07Maybe another newspaper.
00:38:09The fact remains that...
00:38:11...you've got control of the paper...
00:38:13...and it put you right up in the firing line.
00:38:16If I beat around the bush like this...
00:38:18...why don't you just tell me you killed Clint and get it over with?
00:38:21Are you crazy?
00:38:23Well, you had reason enough to, didn't you?
00:38:26Oh, I don't know.
00:38:27Maybe you didn't.
00:38:27I can't think straight anymore.
00:38:29All right, it's your life you're playing around with, not mine.
00:38:34I've got an idea how we can draw the fire away from you and put it on me.
00:38:38When they do that, they'll tip their hand.
00:38:42I want you to do what I tell you.
00:38:43Come on over here.
00:38:47Sit down.
00:38:53This goes to your lawyers.
00:38:54Know the address?
00:38:56Yes.
00:39:02Dear Mr. Whatever his name is.
00:39:08At this unfortunate time...
00:39:12...I'm very desirous...
00:39:17...that the managing control...
00:39:21...of the dispatch...
00:39:24...you got that?
00:39:27Yes.
00:39:29...be placed in the hands...
00:39:32...of someone...
00:39:36...whom I consider...
00:39:39...trustworthy.
00:39:42Trustworthy?
00:39:43Yeah.
00:39:46Until such time...
00:39:50...as a permanent...
00:39:53...appointment...
00:39:54...can be made...
00:39:58...I therefore request...
00:40:04...that Mr. T.M. Slade...
00:40:07...be placed in charge.
00:40:11Whose hand are you tipping now?
00:40:14Do as I tell you.
00:40:20If you want to marry me, Tim...
00:40:21...this is a fine proposal.
00:40:24If you want to kill me...
00:40:25...that's something else again.
00:40:27Sign it, Julie.
00:40:50...the mail has been...
00:40:51...sorted today?
00:40:51Yeah.
00:40:52It's all in there.
00:40:57...the mail has been...
00:41:02...assorted today?
00:41:06Yeah.
00:41:09Hey.
00:41:10What do you think...
00:41:11...you're doing, Slade?
00:41:13Well, maybe Nick Dyke...
00:41:15...was hiding out in here.
00:41:16Look, I'm in charge...
00:41:17...you now, Slade...
00:41:18...and I won't stand for this.
00:41:21Why don't you call...
00:41:21...O'Happie...
00:41:22...and have me pinched?
00:41:23I'm looking for a letter.
00:41:28Hey, boss.
00:41:29The president told me...
00:41:30...to tell you to run a box...
00:41:31...on page one...
00:41:31...offering a five grand...
00:41:32...reward for the killer.
00:41:33All right.
00:41:33Are you gonna try...
00:41:34...and collect it?
00:41:35Might be worth trying for.
00:42:13Come in.
00:42:20I don't think my shirts...
00:42:21...will fit you, Inspector.
00:42:22Are you carrying a gun?
00:42:23If you've been through the suitcase...
00:42:25...you know it's there.
00:42:54You've got a .38 in there.
00:42:55What's up?
00:42:56You got anything to say?
00:42:57Not right now.
00:42:59You know, in a department...
00:43:00...we don't think much...
00:43:01...of special investigators...
00:43:03...private eyes.
00:43:04That's not news.
00:43:05They're usually a bunch...
00:43:06...of transom peepers...
00:43:07...fail bond extortionists...
00:43:08...blackmailers, chiselers...
00:43:10...who get the protection...
00:43:10...of a phony badge...
00:43:11...without the dignity of a real one.
00:43:13If you ever contemplate a book...
00:43:14...on your career, Inspector...
00:43:15...remind me not to read it.
00:43:17I don't like your approach.
00:43:18Maybe you won't like this...
00:43:19...any better.
00:43:20You and Mrs. Vaughn...
00:43:21...were once...
00:43:22...that way about each other...
00:43:23...as they say.
00:43:24I don't like your style either.
00:43:26For your information...
00:43:27...I was in love with Julie...
00:43:28...before she married Vaughn.
00:43:29You'd ask me I'd have told you.
00:43:30Then you'll admit...
00:43:31...you had a lot to gain...
00:43:32...by Vaughn's death.
00:43:33Nothing.
00:43:33You mean she never told you that?
00:43:35I bet you don't go around...
00:43:36...repeating what women...
00:43:37...tell you incompetence.
00:43:38Women don't talk to me that way.
00:43:39You're missing out on a lot of fun, Inspector.
00:43:41Maybe.
00:43:42What happened at Vaughn's last night?
00:43:44I walked out after Vaughn...
00:43:45...sort of hinted Julie and I...
00:43:46...were trying to get together.
00:43:47Were you?
00:43:48No.
00:43:49Then how do you explain this letter...
00:43:51...from Mrs. Vaughn to you?
00:43:54My darling.
00:43:56Oh, brother.
00:43:58I'm sorry to have put you...
00:43:59...in more trouble with Clint.
00:44:01I must talk to you...
00:44:03...and I know you won't let me down.
00:44:05As I told you...
00:44:06...we could be so happy together...
00:44:07...if it weren't for Clint.
00:44:09Darling, you must realize that, don't you?
00:44:12There must be some way...
00:44:14...of getting him out of the picture.
00:44:16Call me tomorrow morning.
00:44:18Love.
00:44:19Julie.
00:44:20Where'd you get it?
00:44:21Right over there on the desk.
00:44:24Here's the envelope.
00:44:26Pulled it out of a wastebasket.
00:44:28Somebody's been reading my mail.
00:44:30Any ideas?
00:44:31Couple.
00:44:33You may be telling the truth...
00:44:35...but she wrote it to you...
00:44:36...and it put you right in the middle.
00:44:39If you follow along those straight lines of yours, Inspector...
00:44:42...it sure does.
00:44:45Anything else?
00:44:48Not for now.
00:44:54I'll be around the building, Miss Jones.
00:44:56Okay.
00:45:00Say, uh...
00:45:01...who took Vaughn's mail in there today?
00:45:04I did.
00:45:06You don't know how this letter got on his desk?
00:45:08I don't know anything about it.
00:45:09It didn't walk in there by itself.
00:45:11You figure it out.
00:45:13Who was in there?
00:45:14Collins was in and out quite a lot today.
00:45:16So was the whole staff after what happened.
00:45:19You're as mixed up as I am.
00:45:32Nobody was in front when it happened.
00:45:34Nobody heard the shot fired.
00:45:35Nobody saw anyone run out of the building.
00:45:39Evening, gents.
00:45:39Yes.
00:45:39So you moved in here now, huh?
00:45:41Yeah.
00:45:42Thought I'd give Collins a crack at the city desk.
00:45:46Yeah?
00:45:46Mr. Wilson to see you, Mr. Fresney.
00:45:48Tell him to call later.
00:45:49I'm busy.
00:45:49Look, you.
00:45:50There's something for you too, Inspector.
00:45:51You know an old guy very thin with a glimp leg?
00:45:54Left leg, I think.
00:45:55Walks with a black cane.
00:45:57No, why?
00:46:00Might not mean anything, but he followed you from the hospital today.
00:46:04Stood around outside for a while.
00:46:06Then a blonde girl came along.
00:46:07He dropped his paper.
00:46:09She picked it up and handed it back to him.
00:46:11Well, boys, looks like I'm next.
00:46:14By the way, Slade, did you ever sell insurance?
00:46:17No, why?
00:46:19I didn't think so, because you'd have known that the policy on a murdered man would be very thoroughly investigated
00:46:24before it was paid off.
00:46:26I'm to blame for that, O'Happy.
00:46:28Say, O'Happy, what's that got to do with me?
00:46:30Nothing, except that Collins found a policy for 10 grand with you as beneficiary.
00:46:34He said he found it in his desk.
00:46:38You're doing fine, Slade.
00:46:43O'Happy's been hounding me on account of that letter.
00:46:46Now, you and your insurance policy, that really ties it.
00:46:48What?
00:46:49So what?
00:46:49Let him hound you if he wants to.
00:46:51You keep your eye on the ball.
00:46:52I'm on the spot.
00:46:53I can feel the heat through the soles of my shoes.
00:46:56Listen.
00:46:58I didn't want O'Happy to hear this because I want you to follow it through.
00:47:01About that guy with the gimp leg.
00:47:02I said I didn't know him, but I do.
00:47:03I think it's a guy named Angelo.
00:47:05Used to be a sully for the police.
00:47:06Disappeared for about a year.
00:47:07Now I think he's working for Nick Dyke.
00:47:09That's what I heard, anyway.
00:47:12Maybe I'd better have a session with Dyke.
00:47:14I still think he's our man.
00:47:16I'll see you.
00:47:45I'll see you.
00:48:07Yes, sir?
00:48:09Never mind.
00:48:16You're not very particular about the company you keep.
00:48:23Haven't I seen you before somewhere?
00:48:25Yeah, the dispatch.
00:48:27My name's Slade.
00:48:28Investigator for the favor.
00:48:30Is that so?
00:48:32Yeah, I saw you up there the day before Vaughn was killed.
00:48:35Remember?
00:48:36Mind if I barge in?
00:48:39Look.
00:48:40You're wasting your talents around here, Slade.
00:48:43Breeze.
00:48:44Not quite yet.
00:48:45I've got things to talk about.
00:48:46Please, Tim.
00:48:47What kind of things?
00:48:49Nasty things.
00:48:50You won't like it.
00:48:51I'm listening.
00:48:53Okay, so I'll make it brief.
00:48:55You and the dispatch didn't get along so well, Chick.
00:48:58Get to the point.
00:49:00You didn't like the picture of you behind bars.
00:49:02That's just the way the paper was looking at it.
00:49:05So?
00:49:07So I figure you did the only thing you knew to stop it.
00:49:10You knocked off Vaughn.
00:49:12Don't get carried away with your thoughts because I might have to do something to change your opinion.
00:49:17It's been tried before, Dyke.
00:49:19But not by me.
00:49:21I work differently.
00:49:22Nice and clean.
00:49:23Not messy.
00:49:26A real artist, huh?
00:49:28That's right.
00:49:29Thanks for the tip, Dyke.
00:49:31I'll think of it.
00:49:32Do that.
00:49:33Might do you a lot of good.
00:49:35But I'll see you around.
00:49:38Goodbye, Miss Jones.
00:49:39Take it easy.
00:49:44You shouldn't have talked to him like that.
00:49:46Let's get out of here.
00:49:57Okay, let's get down to cases.
00:49:59Number one.
00:50:01How long have you been stooling for Dyke?
00:50:03I was forced to go there.
00:50:05They picked me up in front of the newspaper.
00:50:07What did they want?
00:50:09Well, they asked me all sorts of questions about Mr. Vaughn's personal business.
00:50:13Things of which I know nothing.
00:50:15You're not much help.
00:50:18What did you tell them?
00:50:19Well, specifically, they wanted to know about a private file of some sort.
00:50:24A private file, huh?
00:50:26What do you know about it?
00:50:27Well, I've never seen it.
00:50:29But I do know that one exists.
00:50:31I think Pop Garrow has something to do with it.
00:50:34Uh-huh.
00:50:35Did you tell that to Dyke?
00:50:36Of course not.
00:50:38Good.
00:50:39You better go to Julie's house and stay with her.
00:50:41Oh, Happy's got the place well spotted.
00:50:44I'll meet you there later.
00:50:46Well, I guess that would be the best thing.
00:50:49Nice view out there.
00:50:52Ever see the view in San Francisco?
00:50:54No, but I'm looking forward to it.
00:50:57Glad you said that.
00:50:59Come on.
00:51:00Come on, let's go.
00:51:43Hello, Slade.
00:51:44Hi.
00:51:45What are you doing here?
00:51:47Thought maybe old Pop Garrow could throw a little light on things.
00:51:50Where is he?
00:51:51Went down to the corner for some tobacco.
00:51:53He'll be back in a minute.
00:51:54He doesn't keep a very neat house, does he?
00:51:57That's a fact.
00:51:59How do you figure Garrow ties into this?
00:52:02I don't know.
00:52:02I think he's doing some undercover work for Vaughn.
00:52:05I think I'll beat it.
00:52:07I guess I'll stick around.
00:52:08If you want to wait, I'll run you downtown.
00:52:10No, I've got my own car.
00:52:20Don't try anything, Inspector.
00:52:30Don't be a fool, Slade.
00:52:32You can't get away with us.
00:52:33Oh, yes, I can.
00:52:35At least until I've taken care of a few details.
00:52:38So long, Inspector.
00:52:50Don't be a fool, Slade.
00:52:51You can't get away with us.
00:53:10I don't believe Slade had anything to do with it.
00:53:13He's got a lot of explaining to do if he didn't.
00:53:15Well, why would he kill him if he went there for information?
00:53:19Maybe Garrow wouldn't talk.
00:53:20He'll know when I get my hands on Slade.
00:53:22Oh, now, wait a minute, Inspector.
00:53:24I've known Slade for a long time.
00:53:25I'll back him to the limit.
00:53:27He's too smart to do anything like that.
00:53:29Besides, it just doesn't make sense.
00:53:30All right, Fresney.
00:53:31Now I'll tell you something.
00:53:33He's so smart, he got Mrs. Vaughn to turn over the paper to him.
00:53:36Did you know that?
00:53:37What do you mean, turn it over to him?
00:53:38The will hasn't even been probated yet.
00:53:40That's right, but she's investing him with emergency powers.
00:53:43What?
00:53:44Her attorney's drawing up the papers now.
00:53:47Slade's gonna walk in here, take over Vaughn's job, and be your boss.
00:53:50You never figured that, did you?
00:53:52Boy, that low, damn double-crossing.
00:53:55He wouldn't do a thing like that.
00:53:57Sister, he has done it.
00:53:58I've got out a general alarm for him.
00:54:00You wouldn't have any idea where he is, would you?
00:54:05Yes.
00:54:06He'll be at Mrs. Vaughn's sometime tonight.
00:54:08Good.
00:54:09If he shows, I'll arrest him on suspicion of murder, and then maybe we'll know where we stand.
00:54:18Bring your book.
00:54:21What do you know about that?
00:54:57Don't be carried away with your thoughts, because I might have to do something to change your opinion.
00:55:01I work differently.
00:55:03Nice and clean.
00:55:04Not missing.
00:55:05No, no, no...
00:55:06Come on, my love!
00:55:08Please, come on.
00:55:09Come on.
00:55:10Come on.
00:55:17Come on, my love.
00:55:18Come on.
00:55:22Come on, my love!
00:55:22Come on.
00:55:23Come on.
00:55:26Come on.
00:55:32Oh, Tim, what's happened to you?
00:55:35I'll be all right.
00:55:37I want to wash up.
00:55:55What happened?
00:55:57Somebody didn't like the shape of my face.
00:56:00Gave me the works after I left Pop Garrett.
00:56:03What about Pop?
00:56:06Has no happy told you he's dead.
00:56:09Yes, he's coming here to arrest you.
00:56:12You tip him off?
00:56:13Well, what else could I do?
00:56:16Thanks, pal.
00:56:17Well, why did you hold up, O'Happy?
00:56:19Why did you run away?
00:56:21Because I wanted a chance to work on a couple of ideas.
00:56:23You mean like getting Julie to turn the paper over to you?
00:56:27Oh, Happy tell you that, too?
00:56:29Yes.
00:56:30What happened to Julie?
00:56:31Where is she?
00:56:32I put her to bed upstairs.
00:56:34She was pretty broken up.
00:56:35You don't say.
00:56:36I think she's finally realized what Vaughn's death means.
00:56:39It's about time.
00:56:42Why don't you let the police handle this and stop risking your life over things that don't concern you?
00:56:46Oh, yeah?
00:56:49Ever see this key before?
00:56:51No.
00:56:53I got a hunch.
00:56:54This is the answer to the whole thing.
00:56:55What are you going to do?
00:56:57Find the luck it belongs to.
00:57:00You're so happy now.
00:57:02Oh, Tim, I'm sorry.
00:57:03That's all right, honey.
00:57:03Just come up for me now.
00:57:05I'll see you soon, one way or another.
00:57:07Maybe we'll see San Francisco together.
00:57:09All right.
00:57:11All right.
00:57:12All right.
00:57:28All right.
00:58:06Yes, sir.
00:58:0862.
00:58:09Just a minute.
00:58:21That'll be 20 cents additional charges.
00:58:50Say, driver.
00:58:51Yeah?
00:58:52See that cab back there that's been tailing us?
00:58:55Yeah.
00:58:55I've been watching him.
00:58:57There's a five in it, boy.
00:58:58You can shake him.
00:59:00Okay, chief.
00:59:20Here they come.
00:59:25What's he trying to do?
00:59:26Hey, look out.
00:59:27He's going to block us.
00:59:28Stop the cab.
00:59:32Yeah, look out.
00:59:33Hey, look out.
00:59:35Hey, look out.
00:59:37My fucking brand.
00:59:42Hey, my!
00:59:50Hey, look out.
00:59:51Hey, who's going to Cadia?
00:59:52Hey, look out.
00:59:52Hey, look out.
00:59:52You've got time.
00:59:52Hey.
00:59:54Maybe out.
00:59:56Hey, look out.
00:59:57How are you?

01:02:41Don't worry about that.
01:02:42He'll drop it now that we got Dyke.
01:02:45It's all in that briefcase, Tim.
01:02:47Evidence that Vaughn and Garrow and I have been collecting for weeks.
01:02:51We would have sent Dyke to the gas chamber.
01:02:55Come on.
01:03:04By the way, O'Haffey said Dana Jones is waiting for you down at headquarters.
01:03:09That she's anxious to see you, too.
01:03:12I had an idea once, Dana and I would make a great team.
01:03:15I never thought you'd fall for the little woman in the vine-covered cottage stuff.
01:03:20But you did.
01:03:21Well, glad I can deliver the body.
01:03:25Body, yeah.
01:03:27That's what I figured.
01:03:29Huh?
01:03:30Yeah, as I see it, I've got about three minutes more to live.
01:03:36I don't get it.
01:03:37Yes, you do.
01:03:39You don't need me anymore, Hugh.
01:03:42Are you nuts?
01:03:44I wish I were.
01:03:46I saw you shoot Dyke tonight.
01:03:50He didn't expect it because he was your pal, not your enemy.
01:03:54Of course, he was only a strong-armed boy and you were the brains.
01:03:58He was helping you get control of the paper so you and he could run the town and all the
01:04:02rackets.
01:04:04You got me down here from San Francisco when you were all ready to finish off Vaughn.
01:04:12You hired me knowing that Vaughn hated me because of Julie.
01:04:15I was an alibi and a fall guy.
01:04:18You got it all figured out, haven't you?
01:04:21Sure I have.
01:04:22You built up a lot of little hates.
01:04:25Some of them were real enough.
01:04:27Then one afternoon you caught Vaughn in the hallway and shot him in the back.
01:04:32Yeah.
01:04:33Then you put a slug in your own shoulder.
01:04:36Probably tossed a gun down the stairs to one of Dyke's boys who caught it and ran.
01:04:41Sounds good.
01:04:43After you got rid of Vaughn, Dyke was next.
01:04:46He knew too much.
01:04:48There was one thing you didn't count on.
01:04:50Julie.
01:04:52You thought she was going to turn over the paper to me.
01:04:55You didn't like that kind of double cross.
01:04:58That's what I did it for, Hugh.
01:05:01I wanted to see who would be interested enough to try and stop me.
01:05:05It was you.
01:05:08Go on.
01:05:10Remember that guy with the gimp leg I told you about?
01:05:12You knew all about him?
01:05:16Uh-huh.
01:05:17There never was a guy with the gimp leg.
01:05:19I just tossed that in to see if you'd fall for it, and you did.
01:05:27Anything else?
01:05:29Yeah, this briefcase with information about your filthy past.
01:05:33Vaughn had Gary collected when he was trying to get rid of you.
01:05:36You had to have that briefcase, so you sent Dyke after it.
01:05:40Carol wouldn't give it up, so Dyke killed him.
01:05:44All right, Tim.
01:05:46You've made your little speech.
01:05:48Yeah, now you'll try to kill me.
01:05:51I'm a fugitive with a murder rap against me.
01:05:54Self-defense, you'll be in the clear.
01:05:57There's just one thing I haven't told you about yet.
01:06:01I figured somebody was going to try to take that briefcase.
01:06:04So I gave the real one to Dana to get to O'Happy.
01:06:07You what?
01:06:09This is a phony.
01:06:10It's empty.
01:06:18You're a smart boy, Tim.
01:06:20A little too smart.
01:06:29I hired you to get the guy that got me.
01:06:32And now, I'll have to do that little thing myself.
01:06:51Think of all the trouble you're to say.
01:06:54You hadn't answered that telegram I sent you in San Francisco.
01:06:59The only thing I didn't expect.
01:07:02Might have known you'd do something like this.
01:07:04You'd do me a favor if you wanted to.
01:07:06Yeah?
01:07:08Throw me down something to dig with.
01:07:10Anything.
01:07:32I could make it easy for you, pal.
01:07:37They shoot horses with broken legs.
01:07:40Sure.
01:07:41Why not?
01:07:42Sure.
01:07:57I would typically get Expedia.
01:07:58We'll be right.
01:07:58Bye.
01:07:58Bye.
01:08:03Bye.
01:08:06Bye.
01:08:07Bye.
01:08:14Let's go.
01:08:15Try that.
01:08:20Might work if it's strong enough.
01:08:22Got cold steel inside.
01:08:25Twist the top. Pull it out.
01:08:31Concealed weapons, huh?
01:08:33Yeah.
01:08:41I never intended to save anybody with it either.
01:09:14Can I help you, Hugh?
01:09:16Go on, beat it.
01:09:19But write me a good a bit.
01:09:21The stuff that was in that briefcase will tell you what to say.
01:09:26But get me on the front page.
01:09:30That'll be my high tide.
01:09:35So long, Hugh.
