00:00:00The End
00:02:00Can I help you?
00:02:02I'd like to see the man in charge.
00:02:05He's in here.
00:02:05I want to report a murder.
00:02:16Sit down.
00:02:21Why was this murder committed?
00:02:23San Francisco, last night.
00:02:26Who was murdered?
00:02:32I was.
00:02:40Well, do you want to hear me out or don't you, Captain?
00:02:42I don't have very much time.
00:02:44You're named Bigelow?
00:02:48Frank Bigelow?
00:02:51That's right.
00:02:54Answer the San Francisco APB.
00:02:56Send it direct to Inspector Bannon at Homicide.
00:02:58Tell him we found Frank Bigelow.
00:03:03Go ahead, Mr. Bigelow.
00:03:04Well, this involves some other people, Captain.
00:03:09A number of other people.
00:03:11You tell it any way you like.
00:03:16I live in a little town called Banning out on the desert.
00:03:19It's on the way to Palm Springs.
00:03:20I have a small business there.
00:03:28Paula?
00:03:31Yes, Mr. Bigelow?
00:03:32Give me a copy of Miss Hollis' 48 tax return, will you?
00:03:35Oh, you better get the 47, too.
00:03:38Yes, Mr. Bigelow.
00:03:39I don't think we took any depreciation on that new equipment last year.
00:03:42No, we didn't.
00:03:44I remember you said we could include it all this year.
00:03:46Sure we can.
00:03:47Hey, Frank.
00:03:48Yeah, Will.
00:03:49Peterson says he wants a financial statement before he can give me my loan.
00:03:52Hello, Kitty.
00:03:53Bye, Will.
00:03:54Well, I'm leaving for San Francisco today, but I'll be back in about a week.
00:03:56I'll take care of it for you then.
00:03:58Sure is a scorcher, isn't it?
00:03:59Well, I've seen him worse.
00:04:00Well, have a nice time, Frank.
00:04:02Yeah, thanks, Will.
00:04:03Paula, why don't you come down to the place and let me give you another permanent?
00:04:06Makes your hair so much easier to manage in all this heat.
00:04:09I can't afford it right now.
00:04:11Maybe next month.
00:04:11Yeah, here it is.
00:04:12No, we didn't take it.
00:04:13Well, we can do it this year.
00:04:15You work it out any way you think best.
00:04:17Have a nice trip, Frank.
00:04:19Sure, Kitty.
00:04:20See you when I get back.
00:04:21Bon voyage.
00:04:24Why don't you come down anyway, Paula?
00:04:26We'll work out a deal on that permanent.
00:04:29Thanks.
00:04:29Maybe I will.
00:04:34Hello?
00:04:35Oh, hello, Mr. Hawkins.
00:04:36Just a moment.
00:04:37Do you want him to send your ticket over?
00:04:40No, I'll pick it up myself.
00:04:41No, never mind.
00:04:42Mr. Bigelow will pick it up at the station.
00:04:44Bye.
00:04:44Bye.
00:04:45Bye.
00:04:47I want to go with you, Frank.
00:04:52Now, Paula, I'm just going on a little vacation.
00:04:54You know that?
00:04:54You want to go without me, don't you?
00:04:56Be gone just a week.
00:04:57And I suppose you've just made up your mind to take this little vacation at nine o'clock this morning?
00:05:01No, Paula, I meant to tell you about it a few days ago.
00:05:04I guess I forgot.
00:05:05Oh, you forgot.
00:05:06Paula, don't be like that.
00:05:08Don't be like what?
00:05:09You just drop a little announcement that you're going away.
00:05:11Not tomorrow or next week or next month, but today.
00:05:14No explanations, nothing.
00:05:15And I'm supposed to swallow the excuse that you need a little vacation.
00:05:18I just want to get away from town for a few days, that's all.
00:05:22Get away from this town or get away from me.
00:05:24Oh, Paula, please try to understand.
00:05:27How can you ask me to understand anything like this?
00:05:29No, I'm sorry, but I don't understand.
00:05:34Go to San Francisco, but don't expect me to be waiting for you when you get back.
00:05:37Go to San Francisco, but don't expect me to be waiting for you when you get back.
00:06:07Why do you do this to me, Frank?
00:06:11Why can't you be honest with me?
00:06:13As honest as I am with you.
00:06:15Do you have to go?
00:06:16I have to go, Paula.
00:06:17I know what I'm doing.
00:06:18All right, go.
00:06:19Go anywhere you like.
00:06:20You can go to blazes for all I care.
00:06:22Paula.
00:06:23Paula.
00:06:27Yes, I know.
00:06:29I'm being foolish.
00:06:37Come on, fix your face.
00:06:43We'll go down to Eddie's and have a drink.
00:06:45All right, why not?
00:06:53Hiya, Paula.
00:06:54Hi, Eddie.
00:06:55Give us a couple of cold beers, will you?
00:06:56Coming up.
00:06:57All right.
00:06:58Come on.
00:06:58Oh, what a relief.
00:07:05This air conditioning feels good.
00:07:07I sure wish we had it in the office.
00:07:08It'd make working a pleasure.
00:07:09Well, if it says this hot, don't bother going in the rest of the week.
00:07:12I win two races today.
00:07:14How many did you lose?
00:07:15You wouldn't have to ask that.
00:07:17Kind of early for you two, ain't it?
00:07:18Too hot to work.
00:07:20I just want to like to hear it.
00:07:20Frank, you'll take me with you, won't you?
00:07:46You will, won't you?
00:07:47Or am I crowding you?
00:07:51What do you mean, crowding me?
00:07:55Maybe you do need this week away alone.
00:07:58Maybe we both do.
00:08:01I know what's going on inside of you, Frank.
00:08:03You're just like any other man, only a little more so.
00:08:06You have a feeling of being trapped, hemmed in,
00:08:08and you don't know whether or not you like it.
00:08:10Look, Paula.
00:08:12I'm going to be honest with you.
00:08:13I care too much for you not to be honest with you.
00:08:15I'm as much concerned for your happiness as I am for my own.
00:08:18I know you've had one bad experience, Frank.
00:08:20I know all about it.
00:08:21But you don't know what it can do to two people, Paula.
00:08:23And the woman always gets hurt more than the man.
00:08:26I don't want you to get hurt, darling.
00:08:30More than anything in the world, I don't want you to get hurt.
00:08:37Want to hear some music?
00:08:39All right, Frank.
00:08:39Got a couple of nickels, Eddie?
00:08:45Yeah.
00:08:47This won't bother you, will it?
00:08:48No, the next result doesn't come in for half an hour.
00:09:01I thought that by now we'd be married.
00:09:03No, I'm not going to crowd you anymore, Frank.
00:09:08Go to San Francisco.
00:09:10I don't like it, but I'm convinced that you must go.
00:09:14I want you to be very sure, Frank.
00:09:17If it's right, and I believe it is,
00:09:19we'll have something really wonderful together.
00:09:23If it isn't, we should both know it as soon as possible.
00:09:28So, you see, even if I could stop you, I wouldn't do it now.
00:09:31Yes, sir.
00:09:59My name is Bigelow.
00:10:01I have a reservation.
00:10:01Yes, sir.
00:10:07Here we are, sir.
00:10:08My name is Bigelow.
00:10:09I have a reservation.
00:10:10I have it, sir.
00:10:11It's a very nice room on the sixth floor, facing the bay.
00:10:14Boy, this might help you enjoy your stay, Mr. Bigelow.
00:10:17It's a little booklet on how to have fun in San Francisco.
00:10:20Oh, thank you.
00:10:21Very welcome, sir.
00:10:23Say, is it always like this around here?
00:10:27No, this is market week, and it's the last day, too.
00:10:30Boy.
00:10:32Always around until you need them.
00:10:35Oh, 517.
00:10:39Here's a message for you, Mr. Bigelow.
00:10:40Long distance call came in about an hour ago from Banning, from a Paula Gibson.
00:10:44Oh, thank you.
00:10:45Very welcome.
00:10:46Show Mr. Bigelow to 618.
00:10:47Right this way, slide.
00:10:48Right this way, Mr. Bigelow.
00:11:07Is there anything else, Mr. Bigelow?
00:11:25Oh, uh, yes.
00:11:26You can get me, uh, dry Manhattan and, uh, packs of razor blades.
00:11:29Yes, sir.
00:11:30Oh, and, uh, you can leave that door open.
00:11:35Hello, operator.
00:11:37I want to speak to Miss Paula Gibson in Banning, California.
00:11:40Yeah, that's right.
00:11:41No, I'll wait.
00:11:46Hello?
00:11:47Hello, Paula.
00:11:48Oh, hello, Frank.
00:11:50How was the trip?
00:11:51Fine, just fine.
00:11:52Having a miserable time, I hope.
00:11:54Well, I don't know.
00:11:55I, uh, I just got in.
00:11:58Hi!
00:11:59What was that?
00:12:01Uh, market week.
00:12:02The place is crawling with traveling salesmen.
00:12:03You know, Charlie Anderson found out that you went away and he asked me to go out with
00:12:07him.
00:12:07Oh, really?
00:12:08How did he make out?
00:12:09I'm considering it.
00:12:11Is that what you called to tell me?
00:12:13I'll have you know that this call is strictly business, Mr. Bigelow.
00:12:16Did a Mr. Phillips phone you?
00:12:18A Eugene Phillips of Los Angeles?
00:12:19No.
00:12:20He will.
00:12:20He phoned the office three times today.
00:12:22Said that he wanted to get in touch with you immediately.
00:12:24He said it's most urgent and imperative that he reach you at once.
00:12:27What did he want?
00:12:28I don't know.
00:12:29But he sounded deep, dark, and mysterious and quite agitated about something.
00:12:34Phillips, Phillips, have we, uh, have we ever done any business with him?
00:12:36Not unless you've been keeping it a secret for me.
00:12:39I looked through all the accounts.
00:12:40Uh, why did you tell him you could reach me here?
00:12:46You know I'm supposed to be on vacation.
00:12:48So you told me.
00:12:49And so I told him, dear heart.
00:12:51But the gentleman didn't seem to respect your temperamental moods the way I do.
00:12:54He was very insistent that he speak to you before it's too late, as he put it.
00:12:58Well, tell him you try to get in touch with me and I've changed my plans and you can't
00:13:01reach me.
00:13:02He won't talk to me.
00:13:04I told him that I was your confidential secretary, but I guess I didn't sound confidential
00:13:07enough.
00:13:08So I told him that he could reach you there this evening.
00:13:11Well, call him back.
00:13:12If it's as important as he says it is, he'll talk to you.
00:13:14Otherwise, he'll just have to wait until I get home.
00:13:16Ma, aren't we adamant this evening?
00:13:19All right.
00:13:20Shall do.
00:13:23And Frank.
00:13:25Yeah?
00:13:26I, uh, I don't quite know how to say this.
00:13:30Say what?
00:13:32Well, what I want to say is that there's nothing you can do that you ever have to feel guilty
00:13:37about.
00:13:38Oh, sure.
00:13:45Thanks, Paula.
00:13:46I'll, uh, I'll call you tomorrow.
00:13:50Right.
00:13:50Right.
00:13:50Oh, just put it there.
00:14:05Oh, just put it there for you.
00:14:22You can keep the change.
00:14:23Thanks very much.
00:14:24Say, um, how long has this been going on?
00:14:26Well, it's been a madhouse all week, but they check out tomorrow.
00:14:29Oh?
00:14:29I thought you were with them.
00:14:30No, no, no, I'm just here on a vacation.
00:14:33Why does everybody come to San Francisco and tear loose?
00:14:35Excuse me.
00:14:39Say, uh, I'm awfully sorry to bother you, but, uh, would you mind if I use your telephone?
00:14:44No, no, go right ahead.
00:14:45I'm just across the hall here.
00:14:46One of the boys is using my phone, and, uh, he's been on for a half hour.
00:14:49I just want to call downstairs.
00:14:51Yeah.
00:14:54Room service, please.
00:14:56Hey, uh, things really picked up the last few days, didn't they?
00:14:59You're right at much business?
00:15:00Well, I'm not here on business.
00:15:01Oh, hello, room service?
00:15:03It's Mr. Haskell in 617.
00:15:05Yes, sir.
00:15:05Would you send up, uh, three more bottles of bourbon and two scotch?
00:15:08Yes, sir.
00:15:09Oh, and, uh, some more ice, too.
00:15:12Yeah?
00:15:12All right, thank you.
00:15:14You here all alone?
00:15:15Yes, I just got in town.
00:15:17Well, why don't you join us for a drink?
00:15:19Well, I don't want to budge in on your party.
00:15:20Oh, nonsense.
00:15:21It's not a party.
00:15:22Just a few of the boys entertaining some buyers.
00:15:24You know, the usual thing.
00:15:25A few drinks and some laughs.
00:15:28It's no party.
00:15:29Come on.
00:15:30Come on, come on.
00:15:31All right.
00:15:32I don't always like to be all alone in a strange city.
00:15:35I'm, uh, Sam Haskell.
00:15:36I'm Frank.
00:15:37Frank Bigelow.
00:15:38You think some of these guys have never been away from home before?
00:15:41Yeah.
00:15:44Hey, I'm trying to...
00:15:46Hey, we cried down a second.
00:15:48I want you to meet Frank Bigelow.
00:15:49Hello.
00:15:50This is Jane Carlisle.
00:15:51Hello.
00:15:52Bill Welch.
00:15:52How are you, Mr. Welch?
00:15:53Glad to know you, Bigelow.
00:15:54Jane's a pretty inspire in San Francisco.
00:15:56Oh, hey, I resent that.
00:15:58You don't think I believe him, Elaine?
00:16:00Well, he spread that from coast to coast.
00:16:01Oh, gee.
00:16:02But it's good for my morale, anyway.
00:16:04I'm George Cantwell.
00:16:05Glad to know you, Mr. Bigelow.
00:16:06Bigelow, yes.
00:16:07Right of much business?
00:16:08He's not here on business.
00:16:09Oh?
00:16:11Well...
00:16:11Well, why don't you get the man a drink before he dies of thirst?
00:16:14I'll put a little bourbon.
00:16:15Well, that's fine.
00:16:16Bourbon it is.
00:16:18Of course, Mr. Wallace, Inspector.
00:16:20Yes, Mr. Wallace.
00:16:23But, Mr. Wallace, I'll need at least a week in Cleveland to visit all my accounts.
00:16:26I can't figure out being in Philadelphia until the 17th.
00:16:28Eddie, will you get off the phone?
00:16:30I want you to meet Frank Bigelow.
00:16:31How are you?
00:16:32That's his boss.
00:16:32He's been trying for an hour to get his expensive gum boosted.
00:16:35Yeah, the way this guy holds on to a dollar, you'd think they weren't printing them anymore.
00:16:38Yes, Mr. Wallace.
00:16:39I'm leaving here the first thing in the morning.
00:16:41Yes, sir.
00:16:44Oh, keep your hips loose, Harry.
00:16:45Like this.
00:16:47Oh, yeah.
00:16:49How's he doing?
00:16:50Oh, there's nothing wrong with Harry's rubber.
00:16:52The two years ago, the Murray's wouldn't be here.
00:16:54I know.
00:16:54That was doing all right, sir.
00:16:56This is Sue and Harry Brandtis.
00:16:57Hello.
00:16:58Hello.
00:16:58Good to meet you.
00:16:59Good to meet you.
00:16:59How are you?
00:16:59Where'd you find her, Sam?
00:17:00On a dance marathon?
00:17:01Oh, she's murder.
00:17:02Oh, thank you.
00:17:03Oh, thank you.
00:17:04Now that you could do the wrong with it.
00:17:06Well, a little, but I'm kind of rusty.
00:17:08Anything would be an improvement after Harry.
00:17:10Well, how do you like that?
00:17:11Well, there goes.
00:17:16Hey, you're good.
00:17:20Oh, well, my wife, she's a good dancer, isn't she, Bigelow?
00:17:23Oh.
00:17:24Yeah.
00:17:26Hey, fellas, I thought you were going to show us a good time tonight.
00:17:29Is this doing the town?
00:17:30That's right.
00:17:31We practically bankrupt our stores to buy everything you've got.
00:17:34Then you keep us in this hotel room.
00:17:36I agree.
00:17:37This is my last night to howl before I go back to being a beautiful housewife.
00:17:42Well, it looks like we're stuck, boys.
00:17:44This is where we blow all our commissions in one night.
00:17:48And you're coming with us, Bigelow.
00:17:49Oh, no, thanks.
00:17:50You run along.
00:17:50I've got to get unpacked and have dinner.
00:17:52Oh, no.
00:17:53You're not going to get away from me.
00:17:54Now that I found a man who can dance,
00:17:56I'm going to hang on to him.
00:17:57Yeah, that's all right.
00:18:27Oh, cool, really cool!
00:18:57Oh, man, am I here!
00:19:14Blow it! Blow up a storm, fisherman!
00:19:27Stay with the fisherman!
00:19:35Go on, go on, go on! Get it, get it!
00:19:57Get out of here!
00:20:09Get out of here!
00:20:12Here, have a little bit of my drink, Frank.
00:20:14No, thank you.
00:20:17Excuse me a moment.
00:20:18Where are you going, Frank?
00:20:19Excuse me. I think you've had enough.
00:20:27What'll it be?
00:20:34Bourbon and water, no ice.
00:20:36Nice, quiet place you got here.
00:20:38We'll hit the pitch in about an hour.
00:20:39That's when they really go out of their minds.
00:20:41Who's the blonde?
00:20:45Oh, she's one of the chicks that hangs around here.
00:20:47She's jive crazy.
00:20:48Come again?
00:20:49Oh, you ain't hip, pal.
00:20:51Jive crazy means that she goes for this stuff.
00:20:53Just between you and me, I don't get it either,
00:20:55but I gotta listen to it.
00:20:56They're all connoisseurs, music lovers.
00:20:58Me, I like Guy Lombardo.
00:21:01What's the matter with him?
00:21:02Oh, he's flipped.
00:21:03The music's driving him crazy.
00:21:05Come down, Jack.
00:21:06Oh, don't buy me, man.
00:21:07I'm being in light.
00:21:09Is the blonde alone?
00:21:11Oh, sure, society.
00:21:12She always comes in alone.
00:21:14Drives a big convertible, wears a mink coat,
00:21:16but knows everybody.
00:21:17But she always comes in alone.
00:21:22I wanted to kiss you.
00:21:25I tried to...
00:21:26Give me another blast, Leo.
00:21:28What's your story, Jeannie?
00:21:30Easy.
00:21:35Hello.
00:21:36Easy.
00:21:37Dig the fisherman.
00:21:38That's really silk, isn't it?
00:21:40Can I buy you a drink?
00:21:41Sure, thanks.
00:21:42Give me a blast, Leo.
00:21:44Leo, I left my blast at the other end of the bar.
00:21:52My name is Jeannie.
00:21:53What's yours?
00:21:54Frank.
00:21:55I've never seen you here before, Frank.
00:21:56Well, I've never been here.
00:21:57This isn't mine.
00:21:58Mine was bourbon.
00:21:59Well, sure it is.
00:22:00You saw me pour it.
00:22:01Give me a fresh drink.
00:22:02Anything you say.
00:22:03Oh, listen to that piano.
00:22:04The piano is vibrate.
00:22:05You don't get your kicks out of this, do you?
00:22:06I can live without it.
00:22:07Why do you stay here?
00:22:08I don't know.
00:22:09I don't know.
00:22:10I bet I know.
00:22:11You're lonely in a small town.
00:22:17Okay.
00:22:18Why do you stay here?
00:22:22I don't know.
00:22:23You're alone in a town.
00:22:26Well, Ben, he's like your town!
00:22:28it. Why do you stay here? I don't know. I bet I know. You're lonely in a big city.
00:22:36You don't have to go into a routine with me. I like good company, too.
00:22:49Say, there's some people there I want to avoid. Couldn't we get out of here?
00:22:54Let me think about it. Oh, come on. How about going somewhere else?
00:22:58Why don't you meet me later?
00:23:04Okay. Well.
00:23:15Call me at that number later. It's my next stop.
00:23:18They've got a band there that'll really send you.
00:23:21See you, Janie.
00:23:22Easy.
00:23:23Never mind, Albrecht.
00:23:37Never mind, Albrecht.
00:23:51Come on.
00:23:52Come on.
00:23:57Good night.

00:35:47Open this door, I tell you.
00:35:51Open it up or I'll break it down.
00:35:53Where are those men?
00:35:55Where are those men who were here last night?
00:35:56I don't know there are no men here.
00:35:58Please go away.
00:35:58Don't lie to me.
00:35:59Where are they?
00:36:00Mister, this lady just checked in.
00:36:02Those men aren't here no longer.
00:36:04They checked out the hotel early this morning.
00:36:06Checked out?
00:36:07Please go away.
00:36:08I'm sorry.
00:36:10I'm terribly sorry.
00:36:18Hello?
00:36:19Please, Mr. Bigelow, my eardrums.
00:36:22Oh, hello, Paula.
00:36:24Your enthusiasm overwhelms me.
00:36:26Why haven't you phoned me?
00:36:27Or is there a quota on telephone calls up there?
00:36:29I'm sorry, I've been busy.
00:36:34I'll bet you have.
00:36:35Visiting the museums, no doubt.
00:36:37What's happening up there that's exciting or different?
00:36:40Nothing.
00:36:41Not a thing.
00:36:42I'll bet you miss me, but you're too stubborn to admit it.
00:36:44Sure, sure.
00:36:46You know, if you'd like me to come up, I can pack a toothbrush and leave right away.
00:36:49No!
00:36:49Well, you don't have to snap my head off.
00:36:52You could at least make a pretence of missing me.
00:36:55I'm sorry, Paula.
00:36:57Of course I miss you.
00:37:00Listen, Paula, I...
00:37:03Paula, it's just that I don't feel like talking now.
00:37:08I'll call you later.
00:37:09Don't strain yourself.
00:37:11You phone me sometime when you feel more like talking.
00:37:15Oh, by the way, I called that Mr. Phillips back.
00:37:18Phillips?
00:37:19Yes, you know, the man that tried to reach you.
00:37:22Well, I'm afraid you'll never know why it was so important that he speak to you.
00:37:25His office said he died yesterday.
00:37:28Frank, are you there?
00:37:30Did you hear me?
00:37:35Died?
00:37:37When?
00:37:38Yesterday.
00:37:39So you won't have to bother your little head about him anymore.
00:37:41You can just go ahead and have fun.
00:37:45Paula, what did he die from?
00:37:47Do you know?
00:37:48I suppose he died from whatever people usually die from.
00:37:51Well, didn't they tell you?
00:37:52Don't you know?
00:37:52What are you getting so excited about?
00:37:54You said you didn't even know the man.
00:37:56Listen, where's his office located?
00:37:57What difference does it make you can't talk to him now?
00:37:59I told you, the man's dead.
00:38:01Paula, will you stop talking so much and tell me where his office is?
00:38:04All right.
00:38:08It's the Phillips Importing and Exporting Company, Bradbury Building, Los Angeles.
00:38:15Bradbury Building, Los Angeles.
00:38:16That's right.
00:38:17Say, this is really a switch.
00:38:19Listen, if you want to reach me, I'll be in Los Angeles.
00:38:21Are you out of your mind?
00:38:22I'm sorry, Paula.
00:38:23I've got to hurry.
00:38:24Wait a minute.
00:38:24Where in Los Angeles?
00:38:26The Allison.
00:38:27The Allison Hotel.
00:38:28Goodbye, Paula.
00:38:28The Allison Hotel.
00:38:58I'd like to see someone in charge here.
00:39:06What is it in regard to?
00:39:07It's a personal matter.
00:39:07It's quite urgent.
00:39:08Perhaps Mr. Halliday can help you.
00:39:10Who's he?
00:39:11He's our controller.
00:39:12Your name, please?
00:39:13Bigelow.
00:39:15Mr. Bigelow to see you.
00:39:16Send him in.
00:39:17Go right in, please.
00:39:18That door.
00:39:25Mr. Bigelow?
00:39:26How are you, Mr. Halliday?
00:39:28What can I do for you?
00:39:32Well, Mr. Phillips phoned my office several times yesterday.
00:39:34I'd like to find out what it's all about.
00:39:36You know Mr. Phillips died yesterday?
00:39:38Yes, I know.
00:39:39Well, I don't understand.
00:39:41If he phoned you, didn't he tell you what it was about?
00:39:43Well, he didn't speak to me.
00:39:45I wasn't in my office at the time.
00:39:47And he wouldn't tell my secretary.
00:39:48Well, I'm afraid I can't be of much help, Mr. Bigelow.
00:39:51I have no idea why Mr. Phillips tried to reach you.
00:39:54I'm sorry you had to make the trip for nothing.
00:39:57How do you know I made a trip?
00:39:58I didn't say anything about making a trip.
00:40:00I merely said he phoned my office.
00:40:01My office could be here in Los Angeles.
00:40:02Miss Foster.
00:40:08Yes?
00:40:09Didn't you mention something yesterday
00:40:10about Mr. Phillips speaking with Mr. Bigelow in San Francisco?
00:40:13I said that he had phoned Mr. Bigelow's office in Banning,
00:40:15but that Mr. Bigelow was staying
00:40:16at the St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco.
00:40:18I'm sorry you misunderstood me.
00:40:20Do you know why Mr. Phillips called?
00:40:21No, I don't.
00:40:22All right, thank you, Miss Foster.
00:40:23You can understand that we've been somewhat upset around here.
00:40:27Now, if you don't mind...
00:40:27Do Mr. Phillips have a wife, family,
00:40:36anyone that could help me?
00:40:38You can't intrude on people at a time like this
00:40:40just to satisfy some curiosity.
00:40:42It isn't just curiosity.
00:40:43Then I suggest you wait a week or so.
00:40:44I can't wait.
00:40:45Well, I'm sorry you'll have to.
00:40:46Well, there's always a phone book.
00:40:47You're a pretty aggressive fellow, Bigelow.
00:40:50Are you quite sure that this is as important
00:40:51as you make it appear to be?
00:40:53It's important.
00:40:54Mrs. Phillips lives at the Sunset Arms Apartments.
00:40:58I needn't tell you she's under a strain.
00:41:04I suppose you're capable of using a little more tact with her
00:41:07than you demonstrated with me.
00:41:09I think I can handle it.
00:41:10By the way, what was the cause of Mr. Phillips' death?
00:41:13Suicide.
00:41:14It hit from the balcony of his apartment.
00:41:26Come in, Mr. Bigelow.
00:41:37I'm Stanley Phillips, Eugene's brother.
00:41:39Halliday, phone that you are coming.
00:41:40This is my sister-in-law, Mrs. Phillips.
00:41:48I'll try to make this as brief as possible, Mrs. Phillips.
00:41:52I'm afraid I can't be of any help to you, Mr. Bigelow.
00:41:55I haven't the slightest idea why my husband wanted to speak to you.
00:42:01Well, I guess Halliday covered just about everything.
00:42:03Did your husband ever mention anything about me, Mrs. Phillips?
00:42:08Anything at all?
00:42:09No.
00:42:10I can't recall Eugene ever having mentioned your name.
00:42:13I hate to ask you this, Mrs. Phillips,
00:42:24but it's of vital importance to me.
00:42:27Do you know why your husband committed suicide?
00:42:35You're certainly not the most diplomatic person in the world,
00:42:38are you, Bigelow?
00:42:40Were you a friend of my brother's?
00:42:42I never met him.
00:42:43My brother was in a jam, a pretty bad jam.
00:42:52He was arrested two days ago.
00:42:55He sold some iridium to a dealer by the name of Majak.
00:42:57It's a very rare metal, very costly.
00:43:00Anyway, the iridium turned out to be stolen.
00:43:03He was released on bail yesterday,
00:43:04but he faced a pretty stiff prison term.
00:43:06And have committed suicide, for less.
00:43:08Yes, I know.
00:43:08That's how the police feel about it.
00:43:10What puzzles me, though, is this crooked deal.
00:43:12Knowing Eugene, you wouldn't say he's the type of man
00:43:14to be mixed up in anything like that, now would you?
00:43:16I told you I never met him.
00:43:17That's right, so you did.
00:43:19Now, what's this all got to do with you, Bigelow?
00:43:21I don't know.
00:43:22Let's complain with each other, Bigelow.
00:43:24Surely you must have some idea
00:43:25why my brother was so desperate to contact you.
00:43:26I have no idea.
00:43:27That's odd.
00:43:28Then how could it be of such vital importance to you?
00:43:31You seem to know the answer to everything else.
00:43:32Maybe you know the answer to that one, too.
00:43:46There's a message here for you to call Operator 82 at Banning.
00:43:48Oh, thank you.
00:43:50Show Mr. Bigelow to room 8-21.
00:43:52Say, would you have the operator put this call through
00:43:53to my room right away?
00:43:54I'll take it up there.
00:43:55Hello, Operator.
00:44:01Here, I'll call you if I need anything.
00:44:03Thank you, sir.
00:44:04Hello, Paula?
00:44:06Well, Sinbad, I'd just about given you up for lost.
00:44:10Now, do you mind telling me
00:44:11just why you rushed down to Los Angeles?
00:44:14I can't explain it to you just now, Paula.
00:44:17I just can't explain it.
00:44:19What's going on, Frank?
00:44:20You don't even sound like yourself.
00:44:22Well, I'm...
00:44:23I'm just a little tired, Paula, that's all.
00:44:29But I miss you.
00:44:31Oh, Frank.
00:44:34I can't tell you how good it is to hear you say that.
00:44:37And here I was worrying that I'd lost my charm.
00:44:40When are you coming home, Frank?
00:44:43Soon, Paula.
00:44:44I'll be home soon.
00:44:47I'll go right out and get myself a permanent
00:44:49so I'll be pretty when you see me.
00:44:51Hey, guess what?
00:44:52I found that Phillips name in your notarial ledger.
00:44:57Notarial ledger?
00:44:58Yes, of all places.
00:44:59I remember now I made the entry myself.
00:45:01You had notarized a paper one morning
00:45:03before I came to work.
00:45:05What kind of paper was it?
00:45:06A bill of sale for a George Reynolds
00:45:08made out to Eugene Phillips of Los Angeles.
00:45:11See, you see, I was right.
00:45:12We hadn't done any business with Phillips,
00:45:14only indirectly.
00:45:14What was the bill of sale for?
00:45:16A shipment of iridium, whatever that is.
00:45:19Iridium?
00:45:20You mentioned at the time
00:45:21that this fellow Reynolds
00:45:21had made some kind of a deal in Palm Springs
00:45:23and he stopped in your office
00:45:25early in the morning on his way north
00:45:26to have it notarized.
00:45:27Wait a minute.
00:45:29Wait a minute, George Reynolds,
00:45:30that was about six months ago, wasn't it?
00:45:33That's right, six months ago.
00:45:34Thanks, Paula.
00:45:35Oh, goodbye.
00:45:38Goodbye.
00:45:38I've got to talk to you, Mrs. Phillips.
00:46:07Please.
00:46:08Go away.
00:46:09I want to be left alone.
00:46:11But I found out why your husband
00:46:12wanted to see me.
00:46:12It was in connection with a bill of sale.
00:46:15Come in.
00:46:18What do you know about a man
00:46:20named George Reynolds?
00:46:21George Reynolds?
00:46:22Yes.
00:46:23Why, that's the man my husband
00:46:24claimed sold in the iridium.
00:46:25And what did Reynolds claim?
00:46:26Reynolds disappeared.
00:46:28Yes.
00:46:29About two months ago,
00:46:30my husband grew suspicious
00:46:31that something was wrong.
00:46:33Since then, he tried in every way
00:46:34to locate Reynolds
00:46:35but could find no trace of him.
00:46:36But I don't get it.
00:46:37Your husband could have proved
00:46:38he made a legitimate deal
00:46:39by showing the bill of sale
00:46:40he got from Reynolds.
00:46:41Then there was a bill of sale?
00:46:43Yes.
00:46:43Yes, of course there was.
00:46:44My husband swore there was
00:46:45but at the time of his arrest
00:46:47he couldn't find it.
00:46:48It was mysteriously missing.
00:46:49Well then, if your husband
00:46:51could have shown proof
00:46:51it would have been George Reynolds
00:46:52who would have faced the prison term.
00:46:54Eugene was convinced
00:46:55that Reynolds had stolen
00:46:56the bill of sale.
00:46:57He was the only one
00:46:58who had reason to eliminate
00:46:59evidence of the transaction.
00:47:02Thank you, Mrs. Phillips.
00:47:04Thank you very much.
00:47:04You've been very helpful.
00:47:07Oh, if you'd only come sooner,
00:47:08Mr. Bigelow.
00:47:09My husband might be alive today.
00:47:12I know.
00:47:21The only thing that puzzles me,
00:47:22Mrs. Phillips,
00:47:23is that you haven't asked
00:47:23how I knew there was a bill of sale.
00:47:25Mr. Holliday isn't in.
00:47:39He should be back shortly.
00:47:42I think you're the one
00:47:42who can help me, Miss Foster.
00:47:44Mr. Phillips tried to reach someone else
00:47:45before he called me yesterday.
00:47:46Didn't he?
00:47:47Why don't you ask Mr. Holliday?
00:47:48Obviously, Mr. Holliday
00:47:49wasn't here yesterday
00:47:50or he wouldn't have had to learn
00:47:51from you that Phillips called me.
00:47:52And you're the logical person
00:47:53to know who else Phillips called.
00:47:55I don't believe
00:47:56that's any of your business,
00:47:57Mr. Bigelow.
00:47:57Don't think you're revealing
00:47:58anything confidential, Miss Foster.
00:47:59I know that he tried
00:48:00to reach somebody else.
00:48:01Mrs. Phillips told me.
00:48:02You're bluffing, Mr. Bigelow.
00:48:03I don't know what you're after,
00:48:04but you're trying to trick me.
00:48:06Mrs. Phillips didn't tell you a thing.
00:48:08How do you know that?
00:48:09Mrs. Phillips knows nothing about it.
00:48:11She doesn't?
00:48:12Well, why wouldn't she?
00:48:13Wait a minute.
00:48:14I was talking about George Reynolds.
00:48:15Who did you think I meant?
00:48:16Just who is it
00:48:17that Mrs. Phillips doesn't know about?
00:48:18I told you before,
00:48:19that's none of your business.
00:48:19All right, child lady,
00:48:20I'm going to give it to you straight.
00:48:21Phillips was murdered.
00:48:22Murdered?
00:48:22I don't believe you.
00:48:23He called me because
00:48:24he needed me to clear him.
00:48:25Phillips was innocent.
00:48:25Innocent men don't have
00:48:26to jump out of windows.
00:48:27Murdered!
00:48:28Just who are you
00:48:28trying to protect, Miss Foster?
00:48:29Why are you so afraid
00:48:30to tell the truth?
00:48:31I'm not protecting anybody.
00:48:32I haven't any more to say.
00:48:33All right, child,
00:48:34listen to me.
00:48:35This thing is going to explode
00:48:36wide open.
00:48:37If you've got nothing to hide,
00:48:37you better start talking.
00:48:38Or maybe you are, Mr. Miss.
00:48:39No!
00:48:40Well, then come on.
00:48:41Mr. Phillips called Marla Recubian.
00:48:43I went to see her yesterday morning.
00:48:45Who's Marla Recubian?
00:48:46She's a model.
00:48:47She and Mr. Phillips
00:48:48used to be quite friendly,
00:48:49but he hadn't been singing
00:48:50for quite some time.
00:48:51Come on.
00:48:51The last couple of months
00:48:52he'd been trying to locate her
00:48:53and finally learned
00:48:54where she lived yesterday morning.
00:48:55When he returned from singery,
00:48:57he was terribly upset and excited.
00:48:59That's when he had me
00:48:59put in the calls for you.
00:49:01When he couldn't reach you,
00:49:02he went home.
00:49:03The last time I saw him alive.
00:49:05Give me Marla Recubian's address.
00:49:07I don't think Mr. Phillips realized
00:49:10I was aware of his friendship
00:49:11with Marla Recubian
00:49:13and out of respect for him
00:49:14I never intended to tell anybody.
00:49:17I had no idea
00:49:18that she had anything to do
00:49:18with the trouble he was in.
00:49:20I admire your discretion, Miss Foster.
00:49:24You know, you must be pretty friendly
00:49:25with Stanley, Miss Foster.
00:49:27He knew how desperately
00:49:28his brother tried to reach me yesterday
00:49:29and he wasn't even here at the time.
00:49:31And now you seem to know
00:49:32all about what happened
00:49:33in Mrs. Phillips' apartment.
00:49:43Miss Recubian?
00:49:43Yes?
00:49:44What do you want?
00:49:46Get out of here
00:49:47or I'll call the police.
00:49:47Go ahead, call him.
00:49:49Oh, go ahead, call him.
00:49:51Going on a trip, huh?
00:49:52Yes.
00:49:53Going away for the weekend.
00:49:54Sailing for Buenos Aires tomorrow,
00:49:56some weekend.
00:49:56I'll send you a postcard.
00:49:57Now get out of here.
00:49:58Who are you going with,
00:49:59George Reynolds?
00:50:01Never heard of him.
00:50:02I suppose you've never heard
00:50:02of Eugene Phillips either.
00:50:04Just who are you?
00:50:05What do you want?
00:50:05Never mind who I am.
00:50:06Where's Reynolds?
00:50:07Reynolds.
00:50:07I told you I don't know him.
00:50:09Now will you get out of here
00:50:10and leave me alone?
00:50:16So you never heard
00:50:17of George Reynolds, huh?
00:50:18And don't try to tell me
00:50:19that this isn't him
00:50:19because I've seen him.
00:50:20If you think you can scare me,
00:50:21you're crazy.
00:50:22Look, I know that Phillips
00:50:23came here yesterday.
00:50:24And right after he left,
00:50:25he was pushed out
00:50:25of a six-story window.
00:50:26Pushed?
00:50:27Phillips committed suicide.
00:50:28Your playmate Reynolds
00:50:29murdered Phillips.
00:50:30Then he went up to San Francisco
00:50:31to get me
00:50:32because I knew
00:50:33about a certain bill of sale.
00:50:34I don't know
00:50:35what you're talking about.
00:50:36You're in this right
00:50:37up to your pretty little neck.
00:50:38I'm not mixed up in anything.
00:50:40Get your hands up.
00:50:41Drop that picture on the couch.
00:50:43Turn around.
00:50:46Don't get any ideas
00:50:47because I'm not afraid
00:50:47to use this.
00:50:49Give me your wallet.
00:50:55Frank Bigelow.
00:50:56Hotel Alex.
00:50:58All right, now where's Reynolds?
00:51:02I don't know.
00:51:03I don't know where he is.
00:51:04Is that what you told Phillips
00:51:05yesterday?
00:51:06I told him exactly
00:51:07what I'm telling you.
00:51:07I haven't heard from him
00:51:08in months.
00:51:09Yeah?
00:51:09You're mighty careful
00:51:10with the picture of a man
00:51:11you haven't heard from
00:51:11in months.
00:51:12What does the race stand for?
00:51:13It was a pet name.
00:51:15Do you mind?
00:51:16Oh, it sounds very cozy,
00:51:17Miss Recubian.
00:51:18You and Reynolds
00:51:18call each other pet names
00:51:19while you make a sucker
00:51:20out of Phillips.
00:51:21Phillips made the deal
00:51:22because he wanted it.
00:51:23Yeah?
00:51:24I'll bet you you weren't
00:51:25above using what it takes
00:51:26to help make him want it.
00:51:27Who's paying for this
00:51:28trip?
00:51:29I am.
00:51:31Really?
00:51:31A first-class trip
00:51:32to Buenos Aires
00:51:33on a model salary
00:51:34don't make me laugh.
00:51:35Since you and Reynolds
00:51:36aren't seeing each other
00:51:37anymore, you don't mind
00:51:38if I keep this to you.
00:51:40If I were a man,
00:51:41I'd punch your dirty face in.
00:51:44You know,
00:51:45I really believe you would.
00:51:49Oh, I almost forgot.
00:51:51Your tickets.
00:51:54Don't be surprised
00:51:54if I'm there
00:51:55to see you all.
00:52:17Angelo.
00:52:18Angelo.
00:52:20Angelo.
00:52:23Oh, Angelo.
00:52:25Do you remember
00:52:25taking this picture
00:52:26of a George Ramos?
00:52:27I take so many pictures
00:52:28I can't remember them all.
00:52:29This gentleman is a friend
00:52:30of his and would like
00:52:31his address.
00:52:31We have no card on him.
00:52:33I don't think we ought
00:52:33to do that.
00:52:34He's willing to pay
00:52:35$20 for it.
00:52:37That's a paper
00:52:37we used last year.
00:52:39Of course, you understand
00:52:39we usually don't give out
00:52:40the information
00:52:41about our clients.
00:52:42I know.
00:52:42You're a couple
00:52:42of the high-class fellas.
00:52:44Revealing anything
00:52:45confidential is against
00:52:46the ethics of our
00:52:47establishment.
00:52:47That's right.
00:52:48Honesty is the best policy.
00:52:49Of course.
00:52:51But in your case,
00:52:52Dean, as much of
00:52:52your personal friend
00:52:53of Mr. Reynolds...
00:52:53Thanks, I knew
00:52:54you'd come through.
00:52:55Got it.
00:52:56Here it is.
00:52:57We don't have his address.
00:52:58He must have called
00:52:59for the picture.
00:53:00But he couldn't have
00:53:00been a very good friend
00:53:01of yours, mister.
00:53:02Because his name
00:53:02is not George Reynolds.
00:53:04It isn't.
00:53:05Well, what is it?
00:53:06It's a...
00:53:07Huh?
00:53:09Oh.
00:53:10Oh.
00:53:11Here.
00:53:11It's Raymond Rekubian.
00:53:14Rekubian?
00:53:16What's the news
00:53:17about that?
00:53:18The picture's
00:53:19signed Ray,
00:53:19isn't it?
00:53:21Yeah.
00:53:24Yeah.
00:53:27Thanks.
00:53:41You Entrepreneur?
00:53:52You're welcome.
00:53:55You're welcome.
00:53:58Come on.
00:54:00Bye.
00:54:00Bye.
00:54:02Bye.
00:54:06Bye.
00:54:06Bye.
00:54:06Bye.
00:54:07Bye.
00:54:07Bye.
00:54:07Bye.
00:54:08Bye.
00:54:09Bye.
00:54:10Bye.
00:54:10Bye.
00:54:11Bye.
00:54:11Come on.
00:54:41Come on.
00:55:11Come on.
00:55:41Come on.
00:56:11Come on.
00:56:19Come on.
00:56:21Are you all right?
00:56:22Can I get you anything?
00:56:23No, no, thanks.
00:56:25Do you know this man?
00:56:27No.
00:56:28No, I don't think so.
00:56:29Are you sure you've never seen him?
00:56:30I'm quite sure.
00:56:32Does the name Raymond Rakubian mean anything to you?
00:56:35No, I never heard of him.
00:56:36Why?
00:56:37He also uses the name George Reynolds.
00:56:39This is Reynolds?
00:56:40That's right.
00:56:40Well, where can we find him?
00:56:41That's what I want to know.
00:56:43Tell me something, Halliday.
00:56:44You're the controller here.
00:56:46How come you didn't know about that bill of sale?
00:56:48Phillips made that deal before I came to work here.
00:56:50Yeah, but you still keep records, don't you?
00:56:52For some reason, which is none of my business.
00:56:54Phillips preferred to keep that among his personal papers.
00:56:57Now, does that answer your question?
00:56:58You came in here today asking for some information that you needed.
00:57:02And I tried to be as cooperative as I could.
00:57:04But now you're beginning to annoy me.
00:57:06So get out before I throw you out.
00:57:13You know, you really frighten me.
00:57:28Well, it's about time you showed up, Bigelow.
00:57:49Go ahead, Dave.
00:57:56Real cute, ain't you, Bigelow?
00:57:58Just real cute.
00:57:59Holliday didn't lose much time getting a hold of you guys, did she?
00:58:02Shut up.
00:58:02Let's go, Bigelow.
00:58:04Look at him.
00:58:05He can't take it.
00:58:07Soft in the back.
00:58:10You do that again, and I'll kick your face out.
00:58:13Lay off, Chester.
00:58:14Cut it out.
00:58:15Shut up.
00:58:15Who asked you?
00:58:19Better let him answer it.
00:58:20The clerk might know he's in.
00:58:22Go ahead, Bigelow.
00:58:28Hello?
00:58:31Frank.
00:58:31Frank, why did you hang up on me?
00:58:33I've been trying to get you for hours.
00:58:35I'm sorry, Paula.
00:58:36I was in a hurry.
00:58:37Well, don't be in such a hurry this time.
00:58:39You didn't give me a chance to finish what I had to say.
00:58:41It wasn't me.
00:58:42I wanted to tell you that McGowan was in hollering his head off because you didn't go over the books.
00:58:47Tell McGowan to get another audit.
00:58:49Sure.
00:58:50Sure, I'll just do that little thing and lose the best paying account we've got.
00:58:53Do as I tell you, Paula.
00:58:56Frank, are you...
00:58:57Are you drunk?
00:58:59Paula, how much we got in the bank?
00:59:01About $2,200.
00:59:04Draw it out tomorrow.
00:59:05Sure.
00:59:08Then what do we do?
00:59:09Skip town without paying our bills?
00:59:11Forget the bills.
00:59:12You know that coat you always wanted?
00:59:14Buy it.
00:59:16You are drunk.
00:59:19You know, if I didn't have such a good character, I'd be tempted to take advantage of your intoxicated state, Mr. Bigelow.
00:59:24I'm not drunk, Paula.
00:59:26Well, then don't tell me that one day away from me can affect you this way.
00:59:29Cut it short.
00:59:32Paula.
00:59:33Yes?
00:59:34Yes?
00:59:35I'm sorry I left you.
00:59:40I never realized how much I love you.
00:59:43But I know it now.
00:59:46Oh, Frank, Frank, darling, I love you too so very much.
00:59:52Please come home.
00:59:54I miss you terribly.
00:59:57I said cut it short.
01:00:01I'd just love to let you have it, Bigelow.
01:00:03Let's go, Chester.
01:00:04This guy's kept us waiting long enough now.
01:00:05Walk in front of me, Bigelow.
01:00:09And keep your mouth shut.
01:00:10If you so much as look cross-eyed at anybody, I'll blow the back of your skull out.
01:00:14This bigelow's real cute.
01:00:20He wanted to get tough with Chester.
01:00:35He don't know Chester.
01:00:36Did you get the picture?
01:00:38Don't I always get what Mr. Majak sends me after?
01:00:41Majak?
01:00:44That's right.
01:00:46I'm the dealer who bought the iridium from Phillips.
01:00:49I get it.
01:00:51You have Recubian unload stolen stuff on Phillips to help Amala here.
01:00:54And then you buy it back from him.
01:00:56Oh, you certainly made a sucker out of Phillips.
01:01:00What is it, Mr. Bigelow?
01:01:02Exactly what is on your mind?
01:01:05I'm looking for Raymond Recubian.
01:01:07Why?
01:01:09Well, Amala here has told you everything else.
01:01:11I'm sure she must have told you that, too.
01:01:13You don't expect me to believe this conversation.
01:01:16So, what is on your mind?
01:01:20I mean, underneath.
01:01:22You forced your way into my affairs, and now I want to know why.
01:01:26I just told you.
01:01:27I'm looking for Raymond Recubian.
01:01:29Don't get cute.
01:01:30I'm just itching the word Q over.
01:01:33Soft in the belly.
01:01:34Can't take it.
01:01:36See what I tell you?
01:01:46I can't do that to Chester.
01:01:51I'm going to blow your guts out.
01:01:52Easy.
01:01:53Lay off, Chester.
01:01:54Not now.
01:01:58Look at him.
01:01:59He's so scared of Chester.
01:02:00He talk now.
01:02:02He's not afraid, Chester.
01:02:06You can tell from a man's eyes when he is afraid.
01:02:10Look at his eyes.
01:02:16I'm telling you, Majak.
01:02:26You better keep him away from me, or he's really going to have to use that gun.
01:02:32Go away, Chester.
01:02:33Please.
01:02:36Do what I tell you, my boy.
01:02:38Please.
01:02:40And help David.
01:02:44Sure.
01:02:46Ah, you're in pain.
01:02:51He's an unfortunate boy.
01:02:54He's psychopathic.
01:02:57He's unhappy unless he gives pain.
01:03:00He likes to see blood.
01:03:04Come with me, Mr. Bigelow.
01:03:13Raymond Recubian was my nephew.
01:03:15He could not possibly have tried to kill you.
01:03:18He's been dead five months.
01:03:26I'm afraid you have been sidetracked.
01:03:30Provided it is true that somebody made an attempt on your life.
01:03:33Somebody made an attempt again today.
01:03:35I had no reason to kill you.
01:03:38Believe me.
01:03:39What do you mean you had no reason?
01:03:40I notarized a certain bill of sale.
01:03:42You notarized a bill of sale for Reynolds.
01:03:45Not Recubian.
01:03:46Not what I told you was true.
01:03:48I had no reason to kill you.
01:03:50That's a closet, Mr. Bigel.
01:03:52And under other circumstances, you could go home now.
01:03:58But now you present a problem.
01:04:03You know too much and I am in danger.
01:04:05Chester!
01:04:06Suppose I were able to prove to you that I only want to find the person who tried to kill me.
01:04:10And I won't cause you any trouble.
01:04:11You know, I can go to jail for ten years for this little business.
01:04:16Ten years!
01:04:17At my age, that's my life.
01:04:20That means my entire life.
01:04:22With my life, I do not take chances.
01:04:24I am sorry.
01:04:25Believe me.
01:04:26You want Joe to go with you?
01:04:27No.
01:04:28Just Bigelow and me.
01:04:30And baby Maester.
01:04:32With me, Jack.
01:04:34Goodbye, Mr. Bigelow.
01:04:36And forgive me.
01:04:38Let's go, Bigelow.
01:04:41I guess you won't be there to see me off.
01:05:00You tried to make a boop out of me in front of Major.
01:05:04You shouldn't have done that, Bigelow.
01:05:05I don't like that.
01:05:07I'm going to enjoy this, Bigelow.
01:05:13I've done jobs like this before.
01:05:16I knocked off guys I could like.
01:05:19But I don't like you, Bigelow.
01:05:22I never liked that puss of yours from the minute I see it.
01:05:27Yeah.
01:05:29I'm going to enjoy this.
01:05:30You ain't scared yet, are you, Bigelow?
01:05:47But you'll be scared.
01:05:49Good scared.
01:05:51I think I'll give it to you, the belly.
01:05:53You don't like it, the belly.
01:05:54You don't like it, the belly.
01:06:01Good.
01:06:02Try it.
01:06:04I'd just love you to try it, Bigelow.
01:06:06Why don't you try it?
01:06:08Go ahead.
01:06:14Didn't have a nerve, did you, Bigelow?
01:06:16Yeah.
01:06:18I think I'll give it to you right in the belly.
01:06:20It takes longer when you get it in the belly.
01:06:35It's nice and slow.
01:06:38That's the way I want to see you go, Bigelow.
01:06:40Nice and slow.
01:06:50Come on, Bigelow.
01:07:01Come on.
01:07:07Come on, Bigelow.
01:07:09I'll give it to you, Bigelow.
01:07:11Come on.
01:07:16Come on, Bigelow.
01:07:17Come on, Bigelow.
01:07:18Come on.
01:07:19Oh, my God.
01:07:49Ah!
01:07:54Ah!
01:08:49Frank, are you all right?
01:08:55Yes, I'm all right, Paula.
01:08:56But what are you doing here?
01:08:57How did you get here?
01:08:58Freddie Ross threw me down.
01:08:59I had to come.
01:08:59I had to see you.
01:09:01You shouldn't have come, Paula.
01:09:02You shouldn't have.
01:09:03What is it, Frank?
01:09:04You're in some kind of trouble.
01:09:05I know it.
01:09:06Look at you.
01:09:07You have a sight.
01:09:08Your clothes look as if you've slept in them.
01:09:10Are you ill?
01:09:11You are.
01:09:12You're feverish.
01:09:13I'm all right, Paula, and I'm not in any trouble, believe me.
01:09:15You're lying, Frank.
01:09:16Right after I spoke to you, I got a phone call from the San Francisco police.
01:09:19They asked if I knew where you were.
01:09:20You didn't tell them anything, did you?
01:09:22Of course not.
01:09:23It was the homicide detective that called.
01:09:27What is it, Frank?
01:09:28If you're in any kind of trouble, you certainly can trust me.
01:09:30Look, I'm not in any trouble with the police, Paula.
01:09:32Believe me.
01:09:33But you can stay here.
01:09:34You've got to go back to Banning right away.
01:09:36No, I won't go, Frank.
01:09:37I won't.
01:09:38I'm staying here with you.
01:09:39Paula, it's better that you go back.
01:09:40Believe me.
01:09:41Why?
01:09:42What's this all about?
01:09:43What have you got to do with this Phillips and Reynolds?
01:09:45Phillips was murdered.
01:09:50Murph?
01:09:52What could that possibly have to do with you?
01:09:54All you did was notarize a paper.
01:09:55You've notarized hundreds of papers.
01:09:57I know, I know.
01:09:58All I did was notarize one little paper.
01:10:00One little paper out of hundreds.
01:10:02Frank, you frighten me.
01:10:03You don't even act like yourself.
01:10:05I know that you're in trouble.
01:10:07That something is wrong.
01:10:08That you're in serious trouble.
01:10:09You frighten me, Frank.
01:10:11Oh, don't be frightened, Paula.
01:10:14Don't ever be frightened of anything again.
01:10:16Will you promise me that?
01:10:17I love you so much, darling.
01:10:18More than you seem able to understand.
01:10:20Oh.
01:10:21I never really knew happiness until I loved you.
01:10:24Sometimes when I used to be afraid that you weren't sure how you felt,
01:10:27I tried to hold back, but I couldn't.
01:10:29Losing you would have been losing everything.
01:10:31There would have been nothing left.
01:10:32Don't, Paula, don't.
01:10:34Now I'm afraid again.
01:10:36Somehow I feel that I'm going to lose you,
01:10:37but there's nothing I can do about it.
01:10:38I feel so helpless.
01:10:39You're leaving me out of something.
01:10:41Tell me, Frank, what is it?
01:10:42Give me a chance to fight back.
01:10:44Just give me a chance, please.
01:10:45You do love me, darling.
01:10:47Oh, yes, Paula, I love you.
01:10:49I never was most certain of anything in my life.
01:10:51I wasn't sure before.
01:10:52I was a little blind, I guess,
01:10:53but believe me, I'm sure now.
01:10:55Can you understand that, Paula?
01:10:56I understand.
01:10:57A man can be like that, Paula.
01:10:59Something has to happen.
01:11:00It can be a big thing or a little thing,
01:11:02but it can make him realize how much someone means to him,
01:11:04how much he really loves him.
01:11:07Oh, and I love you, Paula,
01:11:08more than I ever thought it possible
01:11:10to love anyone in the world.
01:11:12I love you.
01:11:12Then why won't you tell me about this trouble you're in?
01:11:15Why won't you try to let me help you?
01:11:16You can't help me, Paula.
01:11:20You don't want my help.
01:11:22Oh, Paula, there's nothing you can do.
01:11:23Will you believe me?
01:11:24So will you please go home, please?
01:11:26No, Frank, I won't go.
01:11:29I know you're in trouble.
01:11:30I can't leave you like this.
01:11:34All right, Paula, look,
01:11:35wait for me in the lobby of the hotel,
01:11:36and I'll be back to you soon, I promise.
01:11:38You promise?
01:11:38You're sure?
01:11:39Yes, Paula, I promise.
01:11:41Is that a new outfit?
01:11:44Yes, Paula, it's beautiful.
01:11:46You'll come back to me, won't you, Frank?
01:11:57Yes, Paula, I'll come back, I promise.
01:11:59Please hurry, darling.
01:12:00I love you.
01:12:01I love you, Paula.
01:12:08Goodbye, Paula.
01:12:16Goodbye, Paula.
01:12:17I'm so tired.
01:12:43Is Stanley here?
01:12:45You sure?
01:12:47All right, get in there.
01:12:50Get Stanley on the phone.
01:12:51Tell him to come over here right away.
01:12:52Use any excuse you want.
01:12:54What are you going to do?
01:12:56What was Stanley going to do when he used me for a clay pigeon today?
01:12:58I don't know what you're talking about.
01:12:59Don't act innocent with me.
01:13:00I fell for that once.
01:13:01I don't know what you mean.
01:13:02I told you everything you wanted to know this morning.
01:13:04Yeah, you told me just enough so I'd get sidetracked
01:13:06and wouldn't know that Stanley was the one I was after.
01:13:09Stanley?
01:13:11Oh, no.
01:13:12You and Stanley have been together on this from the start.
01:13:14Now, come on, get on that phone and call him.
01:13:17Don't let him know I'm here.
01:13:19Bring along.
01:13:30You've been sidetracked, all right.
01:13:32But it was the poor, bereaved little widow who did it.
01:13:36Miss Foster found this letter this afternoon.
01:13:38It's at my brother's desk at the office.
01:13:40It's postmarked two years ago.
01:13:42It wasn't exactly the kind of a letter
01:13:44that a married woman gets from a casual friend.
01:13:47I'm sure my brother wasn't aware
01:13:48that they were so well acquainted when he hired Halliday.
01:13:53What's the matter with him?
01:13:55He hasn't felt right since dinner.
01:13:56Where did he have dinner?
01:13:57At Mrs. Phillips' apartment.
01:13:59Halliday was there, too,
01:14:00and Stanley confronted them with that letter.
01:14:02Do you have anything to drink?
01:14:04Yes, why?
01:14:05How long ago?
01:14:06Half an hour ago, just before I came here.
01:14:08Miss Foster, get on the phone,
01:14:09call the emergency hospital,
01:14:10have him get an ambulance over here right away.
01:14:12Tell him to prepare a stomach wash for luminous poisoning.
01:14:15Voluminous poison?
01:14:16Come on, do what I tell you.
01:14:17He may still have a chance to save his life.
01:14:19Go on!
01:14:19I found George Reynolds, Mrs. Phillips.
01:14:37He's been dead for five months.
01:14:39Then he didn't steal the bill of sale.
01:14:41No, he didn't.
01:14:42But you could have stolen it.
01:14:44How dare you?
01:14:46You knew who I was when I came here today.
01:14:48But you were surprised to see me alive, weren't you?
01:14:51But I'm not alive, Mrs. Phillips.
01:14:53Sure, I can stand here and talk to you.
01:14:55I can breathe and I can move.
01:14:56But I'm not alive.
01:14:58Because I did take that poison.
01:15:00And nothing can save me.
01:15:05What are you going to do?
01:15:06I kill you now, I have nothing to lose.
01:15:07No, no, you've got to listen to me.
01:15:09You've got to give me a chance.
01:15:10But I didn't have a chance.
01:15:11It was Halliday.
01:15:12Believe me, it was Halliday.
01:15:14He made me steal the bill of sale.
01:15:15He planned everything.
01:15:16What about this letter?
01:15:17Your husband knew about you and Halliday.
01:15:19He found it only yesterday.
01:15:20He accused Halliday.
01:15:21They fought.
01:15:22And Halliday pushed him over this balcony.
01:15:24And why me?
01:15:25Why did he want to kill me?
01:15:26Because you could have proved there was a bill of sale.
01:15:28That my husband had no reason to commit suicide.
01:15:31Halliday was desperate.
01:15:32After he killed my husband,
01:15:33he found out about the phone calls to you.
01:15:35He thought you spoke to him.
01:15:36That you knew enough to involve him.
01:15:41Where's Halliday?
01:15:52Where is he?
01:15:54He's in the office.
01:15:58This time, you don't want him.
01:15:59Here's the office.
01:16:01This is a real speaker.
01:16:03Here's the office.
01:16:04Here's the office.
01:16:05It's over.
01:16:06There's a room for me.
01:16:07You can't call me.
01:16:08There's a room for me.
01:16:09Here's the guest.
01:16:09You can't call me.
01:16:10There's a room for me.
01:16:11Let's go.
01:16:41Let's go.
01:17:11Let's go.
01:17:41Let's go.
01:18:11Let's go.
01:18:41Let's go.
01:19:11Let's go.
01:19:12Let's go.
01:19:13Let's go.
01:19:15Come on.
01:19:16Come on.
01:19:19Let's go.
01:19:21Come on, let's break it up. Move along now. Let's get going. Come on.
01:19:51Come on.
01:20:21Come on.
01:20:51Come on.
01:21:21Come on.
01:21:24All I did was notarize a bill of sale.
01:21:28But that piece of paper could have proven that Phillips didn't commit suicide.
01:21:34It was murder.
01:21:36And that's why Halliday poisoned me.
01:21:46Would you?
01:21:51Come on.
01:21:56Paula.
01:22:11Call the morgue.
01:22:17Johnson, you go to the Allison Hotel. Find Paula Gibson. Don't tell her anything.
01:22:20I'll break it to her.
01:22:26How shall I make out the report on him, Captain?
01:22:30Better make it dead on arrival.
01:22:50What if I do?
01:22:51In the dark, I fear.
01:22:52I heard my word.
01:22:56I'm hurt.
01:22:57I've got to go.
01:22:58I'll do it.
01:22:59I'll do it.
01:23:00I'll do it.
01:23:02I'm hurt.
01:23:04I would love it.
01:23:06I'd love to go.
01:23:07The End
