00:01:29How's the pie?
00:01:30Fine.
00:01:31Buzz, how's the fishing these days?
00:01:33It's not very good around here, but there's a big run of marlin up at Tijuana.
00:01:36Yeah?
00:01:37We're taking a party down there Sunday morning.
00:01:39How do you like this guy?
00:01:40Gets paid to go fishing while we slave over a hot carburetor.
00:01:42You said it.
00:01:43Hey Dan, we got room for one more.
00:01:45Why don't you come along?
00:01:46When are you going to get back?
00:01:47Late Monday night.
00:01:48Monday night, that lets me out.
00:01:49I couldn't get Monday off.
00:01:51You could get away if you wanted to.
00:01:53You just don't want to miss spending Sunday with the girlfriend.
00:01:55Helen?
00:01:56No, they busted up a couple of months ago.
00:01:58By the way, she called you again this morning.
00:02:00She did?
00:02:02I told her you wasn't in for the 19th time.
00:02:04Good, good.
00:02:05How do you like this guy?
00:02:06There's a dame I trade my right arm for and he gives it the run around.
00:02:09Maybe he's found a new dish.
00:02:10I spent four years in the Navy fighting for freedom.
00:02:12Why get anchored down now?
00:02:14Besides, she was getting too serious.
00:02:15The old wedding belt, huh?
00:02:16She's getting louder and louder.
00:02:18I figured she's too nice to string along.
00:02:20But she won't take no for an answer.
00:02:22Some dames are sure hard to shake off.
00:02:24I once knew a blonde.
00:02:26And her name was Margie.
00:02:29How'd you know?
00:02:30We've heard this story a dozen times.
00:02:31A couple of dozen times.
00:02:33Hey, we better be getting back or old man Mackey will blow a fuse.
00:02:36Right.
00:02:37Here, that's for you.
00:02:41Hey.
00:02:51I'm babe.
00:02:52Yeah.
00:02:58Yeah.
00:03:03Yeah.
00:03:13See you later, fellas.
00:03:14I've got work to do.
00:03:22You new here, honey?
00:03:24Sixty-five out of a dollar.
00:03:27What time you get off tonight?
00:03:31Six-thirty?
00:03:32Seven.
00:03:34Don't forget your change.
00:03:37I happen to have my autograph book here with me.
00:03:39Name and address?
00:03:42I'm afraid you've made a mistake.
00:03:44I don't come with the merchants much.
00:03:46Oh, now, don't be like that.
00:03:48I think you're wonderful.
00:03:50Anything wrong in that?
00:03:52No, but...
00:03:53Well, then I'll be talking about you and me.
00:04:02We're...
00:04:06We're...
00:04:09We're going out tonight.
00:04:10I...
00:04:21You like...
00:04:22Okay.
00:04:24Yeah.
00:04:25You like red...
00:04:26Michael's in his outfit?
00:04:30Yeah.
00:04:31Yeah.
00:04:32I think they're...
00:04:43Here.
00:04:44I thought I'd pick up...
00:04:47At nine-thirty.
00:04:49We'll go over and give them a listen, okay?
00:04:53Okay.
00:04:55See you tonight.
00:05:01Seventy-five.
00:05:02I want...
00:05:05Hey, Chuck.
00:05:24Remember...
00:05:25I've been out all day and I'm flat busted.
00:05:28How are you holding?
00:05:30I'm fractured.
00:05:31Me, too.
00:05:33Well, I've got to figure out some way to get some Guitars,
00:05:35or how else am I going to take that gorgeous creature out to the music bar?
00:05:39Why don't you ask old man Mackey for an advance?
00:05:42Oh, that old guy, he wouldn't give me the sweat off his glasses.
00:05:45Yeah.
00:05:46He's sure a mean old buzzard.
00:05:49Hey, buzzard, I'm glad you said that.
00:05:50Buzz Larson owes me twenty bucks.
00:05:52Why don't you call him up down at the dock?
00:05:53My friend, you have just read my mind.
00:06:12Hello, is Buzz Larson there, please?
00:06:15Oh, hello, Buzz.
00:06:17Hi, boy, this is Danny.
00:06:19Listen, uh...
00:06:20Did you let me have that twenty bucks you owe me?
00:06:24Oh, that's swell.
00:06:27Believe me, you're a lifesaver.
00:06:30I'll be down tonight and pick it up.
00:06:32Huh?
00:06:33Tomorrow?
00:06:34Oh, wait a minute.
00:06:35Boy, I...
00:06:37I need it right away.
00:06:41You don't get paid until tomorrow.
00:06:44Yeah.
00:06:46I understand, sure.
00:06:47Okay.
00:06:48All right, thanks anyway, kid.
00:06:50Bye.
00:06:52Who left that light on in the washroom?
00:06:55Not me.
00:06:56Well, it was one of you fellas.
00:06:57You're all alike.
00:06:58You don't care what you do with my money.
00:07:00You think I own stock in the power company?
00:07:02So she said to me,
00:07:04I want to speak with the supervisor.
00:07:06So I said,
00:07:07One moment, please.
00:07:09And then I said,
00:07:11Yes, this is the supervisor speaking.
00:07:14Helen Colgan, are you listening to me?
00:07:17Yeah.
00:07:19I'm listening.
00:07:21I'm listening.
00:07:23I'm listening.
00:07:25I'm listening.
00:07:27I'm listening.
00:07:29I'm listening.
00:07:30Are you listening to me?
00:07:32Yeah.
00:07:33I don't think you've heard one word.
00:07:35You just seem to be walking around in a dream lately.
00:07:38Oh, Millie,
00:07:39I think I'll say goodbye to you here.
00:07:41There's some things I have to get.
00:07:43What things?
00:07:44Where?
00:07:45Oh, just some things.
00:07:46Over on State Street.
00:07:48I know where you're going, Helen.
00:07:50And you're making a big mistake.
00:07:52If he wants to see you,
00:07:53he knows your telephone number.
00:07:55I know, but I...
00:07:56But nothing.
00:07:57You're making a fool of yourself.
00:07:58I think I am.
00:08:00Goodbye.
00:08:07Well, when you need it fast sometimes,
00:08:09you haven't got time.
00:08:10A lighter.
00:08:11What?
00:08:12A standard lighter.
00:08:13Yeah.
00:08:14No, no, not you, Red.
00:08:17Yeah, sure.
00:08:18Well, if you haven't got it,
00:08:19you can't lend it.
00:08:22Yeah, all right.
00:08:24Thanks a lot.
00:08:25Bye.
00:08:26Did you reach Buzz?
00:08:27Yeah, I called him, Ray Pierce,
00:08:28and Jimmy Cook.
00:08:29None of them had it.
00:08:30Too bad.
00:08:31Dollar three.
00:08:32Exact change.
00:08:33There you go.
00:08:52Nobody checks my cash
00:08:53except this once-a-week bookkeeper,
00:08:54and he don't come around until Thursday.
00:08:56I could put it back before Thursday.
00:08:57I could put it back tomorrow,
00:08:59as soon as I get that 20 bucks from Buzz.
00:09:26Dan!
00:09:28Oh, Danny!

00:09:41Have you been dancing lately?
00:09:42Yeah, I went last Saturday.
00:09:45Oh.

00:14:04Hi, Nick.
00:14:06Yeah.
00:14:08Did you come back?
00:14:10Still in the window, Nick.

00:14:14Are you crazy?
00:14:16What do you think I am, a millionaire?
00:14:18What's going on here?
00:14:20Let's skip it.

00:14:46Give me half a buck's worth of nickels.
00:14:48Okay, Admiral.
00:14:59Now what do you want?
00:15:01There's only nine nickels there, buddy.
00:15:03Who's cheating who?
00:15:05What?
00:15:06Look, you got your nickel, haven't you?
00:15:08Hit the road.
00:15:21Why, hello, Nick.
00:15:23Look, I've got rules in this house.
00:15:25That goes for you, too.
00:15:27If you want to pull that kind of stuff, go somewhere else.
00:15:30Come on. Beat it. Beat it.
00:15:34Come on, Vera. Let's get out of this crummy joint.
00:15:44Goodbye, Nick.
00:16:03See that big star right there?
00:16:05Yeah.
00:16:07That's Beatlejuice.
00:16:10Who?
00:16:11Beatlejuice.
00:16:13Who?
00:16:15The guy with the big bowtie.
00:16:17The guy with the big bowtie?
00:16:19Yeah.
00:16:21Who?
00:16:23Beatlejuice.
00:16:25The guy with the big bowtie?
00:16:27Yeah.
00:16:29What about him?
00:16:31Who?
00:16:32Beetlejuice.
00:16:33Beetlejuice, Dave used to call it.
00:16:36Dave?
00:16:38Who's Dave?
00:16:39Old fella I used to know.
00:16:41He taught me the names of all the stars.
00:16:43You know, I never saw a star until I was 16.
00:16:47How come?
00:16:51I was raised in Steel Town, West Virginia,
00:16:53and you couldn't see the sky for the smoke.
00:16:55So, I ran away.
00:16:57Funny, I ran away from home, too.
00:17:00That was a long, long time ago.
00:17:05I, uh...
00:17:06What'd you do after you ran away from home?
00:17:08Oh, I was a carhop for a while,
00:17:10waitress in a beer joint,
00:17:12clerked in a five and ten,
00:17:14cashiered in a coffee shop.
00:17:17It's not what you run away to,
00:17:18it's what you run away from.
00:17:19I ran away from a farm
00:17:21and the belt the old man used to whip me with.
00:17:23That old man was sure free with that belt.
00:17:25Oh, I ran away from a lot of things.
00:17:28Ma getting drunk all the time
00:17:29and never having any decent clothes to wear,
00:17:32and the boarders,
00:17:34especially those boarders.
00:17:36They wouldn't leave me alone.
00:17:38Must have been tough.
00:17:41I learned to handle them after a while.
00:17:45Think you can handle me?
00:17:47Sure.
00:17:52I can handle you easy.
00:17:55Yeah.
00:17:59Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:18:04Hello, is Buzz there?
00:18:07He what?
00:18:10Took a fishing party.
00:18:11I want him to be back.
00:18:14No, no, never mind, I'll...
00:18:17All right, I'll call him later.
00:18:18Bye.
00:18:27The bookkeeper.
00:18:28What's he doing here two days ahead of time?
00:18:30If he finds out I'm short,
00:18:31he'll tell the old man.
00:18:33The old man's mean enough
00:18:34to send a guy to jail just for laughs.
00:18:36I gotta get 20 bucks in a hurry.
00:18:42How about that salary loan outfit?
00:18:44The one that's always yakking on the radio.
00:18:46Walk in with an honest face,
00:18:47walk out with a pocket full of dough.
00:18:53I must have walked in with the wrong face.
00:18:55Couple of days to check my references.
00:18:57I haven't got any references
00:18:58and I haven't got a couple of days.
00:19:28Can I have it for a dollar down
00:19:29like it says in the window?
00:19:30As soon as we check up on your credit.
00:19:33Credit?
00:19:36I can't wait that long.
00:19:37Oh, wait a minute.
00:19:38You got a charge account in town?
00:19:41No, I...
00:19:43Yes, yes I have, at the hub.
00:19:45At the hub?
00:19:46Yes, at the hub.
00:19:47At the hub?
00:19:48Yes, at the hub.
00:19:49At the hub?
00:19:50Yes, at the hub.
00:19:51At the hub?
00:19:52Yes, at the hub.
00:19:53At the hub?
00:19:54Yes, at the hub.
00:19:55At the hub?
00:19:56Yes, at the hub.
00:19:57At the hub where I buy my clothes.
00:19:59I'll tell you what I'll do.
00:20:00I'll call their credit manager
00:20:01and if he says you're okay,
00:20:02you can take the watch right with you.
00:20:04Okay?
00:20:05Now then, let's get it on
00:20:06and show you what it looks like.
00:20:13How much could you let me have on this ticker?
00:20:20Thirty dollars do you any good?
00:20:23Thirty dollars will be fine.
00:20:27Okay.
00:20:33Any better than last week?
00:20:34I don't know yet, Mr. Mackey.
00:20:36I'll let you know.
00:20:37Well, about that other matter,
00:20:38see if you can't find a way
00:20:39to make it a business deduction.
00:20:41I'll think about it, Mr. Mackey.
00:20:53Hi, George.
00:20:54Hi, Dan.
00:20:56You're, uh,
00:20:57here kind of early this week, aren't you?
00:20:59The old man sent for me.
00:21:01Had some tax reports for me to get out.
00:21:03Oh.
00:21:05And I figured as long as I was here,
00:21:07I'd get my Thursday work done.
00:21:11Say, Dan,
00:21:12I just checked the register
00:21:14and it's twenty dollars short.
00:21:18Well, maybe you could have made a mistake or something.
00:21:20No, I checked it twice.
00:21:24Well,
00:21:25sometimes the money gets stuck in the money sack down there.
00:21:34Yeah.
00:21:35Yeah, here it is.
00:21:37See?
00:21:39But I looked in the money sack.
00:21:41Just didn't look good enough.
00:21:56Can I do anything for you, sir?
00:21:58You're Dan Brady.
00:21:59Yeah.
00:22:05I'm Moriarty.
00:22:07California Investigation Service.
00:22:10You bought a watch yesterday
00:22:11at Jay's Jewelers, didn't you?
00:22:14Yeah, I did.
00:22:15And took it straight to Uncle John's and hocked it.
00:22:19What if I did?
00:22:20Don't play dumb.
00:22:21Why would you buy a watch for a hundred dollars
00:22:23and hock it the same day for thirty?
00:22:26Why?
00:22:27Because you don't intend to pay the hundred, that's why.
00:22:29Now, wait a minute.
00:22:30Don't holler before you're hurt, pal.
00:22:31I signed up to pay that thing ten bucks a month
00:22:33and when the month's up, I'll pay him the ten bucks.
00:22:35Oh, no, you won't.
00:22:36Because Jay Jewelers don't think you're gonna be here
00:22:38when the month's up.
00:22:39They think you're gonna skip town.
00:22:41So you'll pay up now
00:22:42or Jay's gonna swear out a warrant.
00:22:45A warrant?
00:22:47Warrant for what?
00:22:48I'll give it to you in words of one syllable, my friend.
00:22:51When you buy something on the installment plan,
00:22:53you sign what they call a conditional sales contract.
00:22:55Yeah?
00:22:56This contract says that the watch, the radio, or the easy chair
00:23:00don't belong to you until you make your last payment.
00:23:03It says that if you sell, mortgage, or hock
00:23:05something you don't own yet,
00:23:07you're guilty of larceny.
00:23:09And a hundred dollar watch is grand larceny.
00:23:12That's three years in the penitentiary in this state.
00:23:15Oh, you...
00:23:17You're kidding me, aren't you?
00:23:18Kidding? Me?
00:23:20Not in your life.
00:23:22You signed a contract like this, didn't you?
00:23:25Yeah.
00:23:26Read what it says right there.
00:23:30Debt is payable.
00:23:31Within 24 hours, your charges will be bought.
00:23:36Look, I...
00:23:38I can't get a hold of a hundred bucks,
00:23:39something just like that, right away.
00:23:41Well, you better dig it up somewhere.
00:23:44Because if you don't pay up by noon tomorrow,
00:23:46a little man's gonna call on you with a big warrant.
00:23:57That's all, brother.
00:23:58Until noon tomorrow.
00:24:13Hey, Chuck.
00:24:14Yeah?
00:24:16What does a guy do when he...
00:24:18When he needs lots of dough?
00:24:20Me? I usually hock my watch.
00:24:26It's a great idea.
00:24:34Maybe I can get some dough on my jalopy.
00:24:36I wonder how much they'll give me for it.
00:24:44Nah, no dice.
00:24:45What good is 300 bucks?
00:24:46I still owe the finance company 350.
00:25:03By half past eight, I'd tried everything I could think of
00:25:05and I still hadn't raised a hundred dollars.
00:25:07I hadn't raised a buck and a quarter.
00:25:10So I threw in the towel,
00:25:11and headed for Phil's place,
00:25:12to knock off a couple of beers.
00:25:26The longer I sat on that silly stool,
00:25:27the more I felt like slugging somebody.
00:25:30I gotta socked old man Mackey for being so tight.
00:25:33And the guy in the jewelry store
00:25:34for sending Moriarty after me.
00:25:36And the fellow standing next to me at the bar,
00:25:38because he had money.
00:25:40360 shorty.
00:25:42Okay, I gotta get home before the old lady
00:25:45chops my ears off.
00:25:47Haven't you got something smaller?
00:25:48This one's a 50.
00:25:50How's this one?
00:25:52That's another 50.
00:25:54Here, let me look.
00:25:56There's a five right there on top.
00:25:58Oh, this one.
00:26:00Yeah.
00:26:01Just keep it the same.
00:26:03I'll give you a 50.
00:26:04I'll give you a 50.
00:26:05I'll give you a 50.
00:26:06I'll give you a 50.
00:26:07Just keep it the same.
00:26:09I gotta get home before the old lady
00:26:11slaps me down.
00:26:15Who?
00:26:16Your wife.
00:26:17Oh, yeah.
00:26:19Yeah, the old lady.
00:26:20Good night, Filthy.
00:26:21So long, shorty.
00:26:23How's a joker like that read all that dough?
00:26:25Shorty, he runs the bingo games
00:26:26until the suckers keep him happy.
00:26:29Another beer, Danny?
00:26:30No.
00:26:32It's all full.
00:26:38Hiya, Robbie.
00:26:39How was things?
00:26:40Fine, Shorty.
00:26:41How's the trip?
00:26:42Okay.
00:26:48Oh, ain't you a nice boy?
00:26:49Let me tell you a fortune.
00:26:51Maybe you've got big, wonderful...
00:26:53Oh, leave me alone, will you?
00:26:55Oh, don't fall on your face, you jerk.
00:26:58Let me tell you a fortune.
00:27:00I've got a mule.
00:27:01His name is Harold.
00:27:03Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal.
00:27:08I've got a mule.
00:27:10His name is Harold.
00:27:12Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal.
00:27:18I've got a mule.
00:27:20His name is Harold.
00:27:22Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal.
00:27:27You've got a world of fortune.
00:27:30I've got a mule.
00:27:31He's a good old worker and a good old pal.
00:27:36Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal.
00:27:43He's a good old worker and a good old pal.
00:27:48Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal.
00:27:53On the Erie Canal.
00:27:56Come on, Rachel.
00:27:57Rachel, come on, I'm not kidding you.
00:27:58Let's go.
00:28:01All right, come on, in the back.
00:28:02Down on the floor, hurry up.
00:28:52Hi there, Chuck.
00:28:53It's been a long time.
00:28:55Hi there, Billie.
00:28:57It's wonderful to see you.
00:28:59What are we waiting for?
00:29:01I never saw you run after anybody before.
00:29:03Oh, Millie, please.
00:29:05Hey, take it easy.
00:29:06What's the rush?
00:29:07Nobody's chasing us.
00:29:10Yeah, that's right.
00:29:12Nobody's chasing us.
00:29:13We got all night, haven't we?
00:29:15Sure we have.
00:29:16Maybe you've got all night.
00:29:17Me and Helen, we only got five minutes till the last show.
00:29:21Uh, Loger's a general.
00:29:23Millie, I almost forgot.
00:29:25I've already seen this picture.
00:29:26I saw it when we were downtown at the palace.
00:29:28But you said...
00:29:30Oh, I got it.
00:29:33You wouldn't mind if I went alone, would you?
00:29:35No, I wouldn't mind.
00:29:36I didn't think so.
00:29:37Goodbye, then.
00:29:38Goodbye.
00:29:40Gee, Dan, this is like old times.
00:29:43Yeah.
00:29:44Let's go on the roller coaster and the chutes and the dipper.
00:29:47Let's go on everything.
00:29:49All right.
00:29:57My knees were really shaking back there.
00:29:59I thought the cops would bust out of that alley any minute.
00:30:02But now I'm in the clear.
00:30:04With heavy dough in my pocket,
00:30:05I can pay off that jewelry store and have enough left over
00:30:07to show Vera the biggest time she ever had.
00:30:10Vera.
00:30:11I've got a date with her tonight.
00:30:13I promised to meet her at Nick's place.
00:30:22Uh, what time is it?
00:30:25It's 25 to 10.
00:30:27Holy smoke.
00:30:28I promised to meet a guy a half hour ago.
00:30:30I'm kind of late.
00:30:31I'm sorry, kid.
00:30:32Can I...
00:30:33Can I walk you to the bus or something?
00:30:34No, you don't have to, Dan.
00:30:36I can get home by myself.
00:30:38Well, uh, I'll give you a ring,
00:30:39and we'll get together sometime soon.
00:30:42I'll see you later, Jerry.
00:30:51Cheers.
00:30:52Don't come back.
00:30:53I won my $50.
00:30:55Do me a favor, will you?
00:30:56Drop dead.
00:31:01Take your dirty hands off of her.
00:31:03Take your hands off of her.
00:31:04I'll do what I want.
00:31:05Don't you hear me?
00:31:07I don't like to be pushed around.
00:31:10How did you still...
00:31:11Bang your head against the wall.
00:31:14I'm trying to...
00:31:25How much all this about $50?
00:31:27It wasn't a loan.
00:31:28It was a present.
00:31:30I don't want you taking $50 from a guy like this ever.
00:31:34Let's get out of here.
00:32:05Wait a...
00:32:06Wait a...
00:32:07Two more of these.
00:32:10When are you going to tell me what we're celebrating?
00:32:12Are we supposed to be celebrating something?
00:32:14Oh, got to be.
00:32:15Last night you were spending dollar bills,
00:32:17and tonight it's 50s.
00:32:19I won it in a craft game.
00:32:22Oh.
00:32:23Well, uh, I...
00:32:24I...
00:32:25I...
00:32:26I...
00:32:27I...
00:32:28I...
00:32:29I...
00:32:30I...
00:32:31I won it in a craft game.
00:32:34You sure it wasn't bingo?
00:32:36Two champagne cocktails.
00:32:40What do you mean, bingo?
00:32:42Just thought you might have won it from Shorty McCabe.
00:32:47I'll give you that idea.
00:32:50Maybe it was Evelyn.
00:32:53Evelyn? Who's Evelyn?
00:32:55Bookkeeper in the movie house.
00:32:59She saw Shorty lose it in the auto park.
00:33:03What do you know about this?
00:33:06She just came into Nick's place to phone the cops.
00:33:08Cops? What'd she say?
00:33:10They're a long time no see. How about a dance?
00:33:13No, thanks.
00:33:14Your boyfriend won't mind.
00:33:15No, thanks.
00:33:16Can I buy you both a drink?
00:33:17No.
00:33:18Isn't there anything I can do for you?
00:33:20Yeah, yeah, blow.
00:33:21You heard her.
00:33:27What'd she say?
00:33:28Danny.
00:33:32She said she saw the guy who did it with a handkerchief around his face.
00:33:37He took Shorty for his bankroll.
00:33:42Didn't he?
00:33:45How do I know?
00:33:48Just thought you might have heard about it.
00:33:52Anyhow, if it was me, and I'd won any $50 bills,
00:33:57I wouldn't go spending them around the pier.
00:33:59Yeah? Why not?
00:34:03Because everyone around here knows that Shorty carries fifties.
00:34:09Look, I don't know any guy named Shorty,
00:34:13and I won this dough in a crab game, see?
00:34:15Oh, now, sure you did. Sure you did, Danny.
00:34:18That spammed some of it, huh?
00:34:22That's more like it.
00:34:25Only,
00:34:28you won't spend the fifties, will you?
00:34:34No.
00:34:37No, we won't spend the fifties.
00:34:47Forty, sixty, eighty, a hundred.
00:34:49Here's a hundred dollars. Here's your dough.
00:34:53And there's your contract.
00:34:55So long, Brady.
00:34:56So long.
00:35:04Mackay Motor.
00:35:06Who?
00:35:08This is him speaking.
00:35:12How'd I like to what?
00:35:15How'd you like to take a big jump off the pier?
00:35:17No, I don't like to take a jump off the pier.
00:35:20But you better come and see me, or else.
00:35:22Or else what?
00:35:24Or else something is going to happen.
00:35:26To you.
00:35:28To you, Danny boy.
00:35:56What's on your mind, and it better be good?
00:35:58Oh, it's very good.
00:36:00You know, last night a prizefighter, a big prizefighter,
00:36:03he left something here. I picked it up.
00:36:05Picked it up where you left it.
00:36:07It's got a knot in it.
00:36:08You know, like, like you use for a mask or something.
00:36:12I don't know what you're talking about.
00:36:13No?
00:36:14No, but I'll take it just for luck.
00:36:15Sure, sure. You, you keep my handkerchief.
00:36:18I, I keep your handkerchief.
00:36:20Same knot, only, only your handkerchief got blood on it.
00:36:24So what?
00:36:26Did you ever hear anybody say money talks?
00:36:30Fifty dollar bills, they talk very loud.
00:36:33It's big bills.
00:36:34What do they say?
00:36:36It says Shorty McCabe, Shorty McCabe.
00:36:39Yeah, that's what it says, Shorty McCabe.
00:36:42What's your angle? What are you trying to tell me?
00:36:44I'm telling you about a holdup.
00:36:47You see, Evelyn from the picture show, she,
00:36:50she saw the man get rubbed,
00:36:52and she got a very good look at the guy who did it.
00:36:55She thinks she can identify him very easy.
00:36:58Nice girl. You want me to call her?
00:36:59Wait a minute. Put it down.
00:37:03If you're so sure that I was mixed up in this thing,
00:37:04why don't you call the cops?
00:37:06Cops? Oh, no.
00:37:08I'm a businessman.
00:37:09See, Danny boy, I, I think I can do business with you very nice.
00:37:14What kind of business do you think you could do with me?
00:37:16Automobile business.
00:37:18I got a new car, and, and I don't know nothing.
00:37:21Just nothing.
00:37:23A new car?
00:37:26I, I couldn't get a new car if I wanted to.
00:37:28Oh, you can get a new car.
00:37:30Same way you got the $50 bill.
00:37:33Are you nuts?
00:37:34Nuts? Me?
00:37:37No, I, I don't think so.
00:37:43Davis.
00:37:44Yes?
00:37:46Here are the plates for the green sedan.
00:37:48See that it's ready for delivery in the morning.
00:37:51Yes, sir.
00:37:52Oh, and Davis,
00:37:53don't let me catch you putting in 10 gallons of gas this time.
00:37:57Six is plenty.
00:37:59Yes, sir.
00:38:03There goes the last new car we'll have this month.
00:38:06I've got to get it tonight or blow town tomorrow.
00:38:09Even if I blow town, they'll probably catch up with me.
00:38:12Oh, boy, am I in a mess.
00:38:16Hey, Dan.
00:38:17Dan, I, uh, I was just thinking,
00:38:19if you're not going to take Helen out anymore,
00:38:22I thought maybe I'd give her a call sometime.
00:38:25Yeah, sure.
00:38:26Why don't you do that, Chuck?
00:38:42Oh, my God.
00:39:12Hey, uh, hey, fella.
00:39:35This thing is stuck back here.
00:39:40What's happening?
00:39:42It's the, uh, green sedan, the second in California Street.
00:39:45It's got license plates.
00:39:47That's fine.
00:39:48Boy, I promise you, I know nothing.
00:39:50Absolutely nothing.
00:39:51Wait.
00:39:52What's the matter?
00:39:53I want the handkerchief.
00:39:54Here you are.
00:39:58You let go of this and I'll let go of this.
00:40:00All right, you let go of it and I'll let go of it.
00:40:01Okay.
00:40:02What are you going to do with the car?
00:40:04That's none of your business, Danny boy.
00:40:07Boy, I'll tell you, I, I sold it to a gambler friend of mine.
00:40:10He's, he's driving it home to Nevada.
00:40:12I see that he does.
00:40:13I don't want it around town here.
00:40:14It's not going to get me any change.
00:40:16Don't worry.
00:40:17He's going home tonight.
00:40:18No slip-ups.
00:40:19Okay.
00:40:20Okay.
00:40:38Brady.
00:40:40Yeah?
00:40:42Now I know who took that green sedan.
00:40:47You do?
00:40:50Yeah.
00:40:51I could tell the police about it right this minute,
00:40:54but I don't know whether that would help me get back the car or not.
00:40:57You understand?
00:40:59No, I, uh, I don't.
00:41:02Now, I'm not interested in sending anybody to jail, Brady.
00:41:05I'm interested in getting back that car.
00:41:09I don't know why you're telling me all this, Mr. Brady.
00:41:12Oh, yes, you do.
00:41:14An employee of this firm stole that sedan,
00:41:17and I happen to know who it is because he was seen.
00:41:21If you're trying to pinch this thing on me, Mr. Brady,
00:41:24I'm not going to let you get away with it.
00:41:28Now, don't try to run any bluffs, Brady.
00:41:30How many times do I have to tell you that?
00:41:31You don't have to tell me anything.
00:41:32All you have to do is to get that car down here
00:41:34parked out in front before I get down tomorrow.
00:41:38What if I haven't got it?
00:41:40What if I don't know where it is?
00:41:41But you did have it, and you do know where it is.
00:41:43Well, I don't anymore!
00:41:47If you can't return the car, you'll have to pay for it.
00:41:51$3,000.
00:41:53$3,000?
00:41:55What?
00:41:56I'd only list for $1,950.
00:41:58You don't think I'd sell to you at least.
00:42:00$3,000.
00:42:01Where would a guy like me get any dough like that?
00:42:03Almost everybody's got a family someplace.
00:42:05Why, folks would go to a lot of trouble
00:42:07to keep a man out of jail.
00:42:09Not mine.
00:42:10Now, look.
00:42:11I'll give you 24 hours, Brady.
00:42:13I want the money, or I want the automobile.
00:42:17Now, let me give you some warning.
00:42:20$3,000.
00:42:22It might as well have been $3 million.
00:42:24I tried to remember who could have
00:42:26seen me in the green sedan.
00:42:27Nobody had known I had it except Nick.
00:42:29Nick!
00:42:30Maybe they thought I had a loan shark.
00:42:33I'm sorry.
00:42:34But I don't want to go for it.
00:42:36I don't want to go for it.
00:42:37I'm sorry.
00:42:39I've got to get out of here.
00:42:40I've got to get out of here.
00:42:41I've got to get out of here.
00:42:43I've got to get out of here.
00:42:44I've got to get out of here.
00:42:46I've got to get out of here.
00:42:47Nick. Maybe that was who told the old man. Nick hated me. He'd cut my throat for a nickel.
00:42:56Hey. What's the matter with you tonight? You look like you lost your last friend.
00:43:02How'd you like to go to Texas, honey, right now, right away?
00:43:05Are you kidding?
00:43:06I'm on the level.
00:43:08Uh-huh. What's the matter with California? Weather getting too warm?
00:43:18Tell you about it later.
00:43:22So, I'm in a worse jam than ever.
00:43:25My boss is going to throw me in the brig if I don't get a hold of 3,000 bucks or else.
00:43:29Where am I going to get a hold of 3,000 bucks?
00:43:34I know where there's 3 or 4,000 dollars.
00:43:37Yeah. First National Bank.
00:43:40No, not in any bank. But we can get at it. We can get at it easy.
00:43:43All you have to do is to break a little catch lock on a rickety old door.
00:43:48You can pry it open with your fingernails.
00:43:51Not with my fingernails. I'm in too deep already.
00:44:03This is the end of the month. That's when Nick keeps the money overnight.
00:44:08Nick? You mean Nick at the penny arcade?
00:44:10Uh-huh.
00:44:12There'll be thousands of dollars there tonight.
00:44:16What would Nick be doing with that kind of dough?
00:44:19He charges people for cashing checks.
00:44:21Today's a big payday.
00:44:23A lot of them will bring their checks in in the morning before the banks open.
00:44:27And he doesn't even have a safe. He hides it.
00:44:32I know where.
00:44:37It was Nick who got me into all this.
00:44:40Nick gets you out.
00:44:42Then you won't have to go to Texas.
00:44:45You can stay here with me.
00:44:48Wait a minute.
00:44:50What's the matter?
00:44:52There's someone watching us from the house.
00:44:59It's only old Snoop.
00:45:01Who?
00:45:03The landlady. She's always looking for trouble.
00:45:05You know, I had a news program on the air the other night,
00:45:08and she busted in and tried to tell me I had a man in my room.
00:45:11She's still watching us.
00:45:15Well, let's give her something to watch.
00:45:23Stay out here and look out for the watchman.
00:45:26If I see him coming, I'll honk the horn.
00:45:28Blow it three times so I'll know it's you.
00:45:30All right.
00:45:32Good luck.
00:45:40All right.
00:46:10Come on.
00:46:40Come on.
00:47:11Come on.
00:47:38Stop or I'll shoot!
00:47:40Stop or I'll shoot!
00:48:10Stop or I'll shoot!
00:48:40Stop or I'll shoot!
00:49:11Come on, will you?
00:49:13Let's get out of here, quick!
00:49:29Did you get the money?
00:49:30Yeah.
00:49:31I heard shooting. What happened?
00:49:33The night watchman saw me.
00:49:35Well, you took a big chance tonight, and you got away with it.
00:49:37You ought to be tickled to death.
00:49:39Well, I'm not.
00:49:41I feel like I'm being shoved into a corner,
00:49:43and if I don't get out soon, it'll be too late.
00:49:45Maybe it's too late already.
00:49:47But you can stop worrying.
00:49:49You're out right now.
00:49:50You've got the money in your pocket to pay your way out.
00:49:52Yeah.
00:49:53Yeah, that's right, I've got the money.
00:49:55That'll square everything, won't it?
00:49:57I wonder how much there is.
00:49:59Feels like a lot.
00:50:01Let's take it up to my room and count it.
00:50:03All right.
00:50:07Come on.
00:50:23Pull down those shades.
00:50:35500 in each of these packages.
00:50:36One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
00:50:40That's $3,500.
00:50:4420, 40, 60, 80, 90, 100, 110.
00:50:52That's $3,610.
00:50:54Yeah, that's a lot of dough.
00:50:56That's more money than I could make in a year working every day.
00:51:01That's the coppers.
00:51:03Just like I thought.
00:51:05What's the big idea?
00:51:07Who said you can come in?
00:51:09I have rules in this house.
00:51:11This is a clean, respectable place.
00:51:13Well, you've got no right in here.
00:51:15Now get out.
00:51:17I don't allow no men in the rooms, not in my house.
00:51:19And I am not leaving until he goes.
00:51:22You're leaving right now.
00:51:24Maybe you'd rather I'd call the cops.
00:51:26Why, you old battle-axe.
00:51:28Cut it out, will you?
00:51:30We don't want any trouble, especially now.
00:51:32I ought to go.
00:51:34You think you can take care of everything all right?
00:51:37Oh.
00:51:39Yeah, sure, Danny, don't worry.
00:51:41I can take care of everything.
00:51:44I'll call you in the morning.
00:51:51I don't want any of your kind around here.
00:51:53And when your rent's up, you can move out.
00:51:56Scram!
00:51:59Hello, is Vera Noe back there?
00:52:00Hey, you're going to wear that thing out today.
00:52:02Oh, this is her...
00:52:04Why don't you forget about it?
00:52:06Do me a favor and shut up, please.
00:52:08Sorry!
00:52:10Oh, this is her day off. She wouldn't be at the restaurant.
00:52:12Look, when she comes in, would you tell her to call Dan Brady at Mackey Motor?
00:52:14It's very important. Soon as she comes in.
00:52:16All right. Thank you.
00:52:20Well, Brady.
00:52:22Well?
00:52:24I didn't see that green sedan when I came down this morning.
00:52:26No, you didn't, did you?
00:52:28Does that mean you can't get it back?
00:52:30I don't want it to me.
00:52:32Well, then I assume you intend to pay for the car instead.
00:52:34Oh, do you?
00:52:36How long will it take you to get the money?
00:52:38I've got it already.
00:52:40You have?
00:52:42Yeah.
00:52:44Fine. Why don't you come right into the office?
00:52:46Well, I haven't got it on me.
00:52:48I have to pick it up tonight after work.
00:52:50I can bring it in the morning.
00:52:52Why wait till tomorrow?
00:52:54I'll come right back after dinner tonight.
00:52:56You can see me in the office then.
00:52:57It's all right, Brady.
00:52:59It's perfectly all right.
00:53:01See you tonight.
00:53:06Mackey Motor.
00:53:08Hello, Vera. Where have you been?
00:53:11Did you take care of everything all right?
00:53:15Good.
00:53:17Well, that's swell, baby.
00:53:19Look, I'll be over and see you tonight as soon as I get off work,
00:53:21right after six o'clock.
00:53:23Goodbye.
00:53:27Goodbye.
00:53:39Is that you, Danny?
00:53:41Yeah.
00:53:43Come right in.
00:53:52You're beautiful, Danny.
00:53:55Oh, Danny. Danny.
00:53:57I might never have had it if it hadn't been for you.
00:53:59Where'd you get the coat?
00:54:01I bought it.
00:54:03Bought it with what?
00:54:05With my share of the money.
00:54:07Here's your end.
00:54:09$1,800.
00:54:11You took half that dough and bought a coat with it?
00:54:13Not just a coat, Danny. A mink coat.
00:54:15You sold me out.
00:54:17Oh, now, just a minute.
00:54:19Who told you where the money was?
00:54:21Who told you how to get it?
00:54:23Isn't that worth half?
00:54:25I can't use half. I need $3,000.
00:54:27You did.
00:54:29Sure. This coat cost $2,000.
00:54:31I told the furrier 1,800 was all I had
00:54:33and he could take it or leave it.
00:54:35He took it.
00:54:37Offer this to the old man.
00:54:39Tell him it's all you could raise.
00:54:41I bet anything he takes it.
00:54:57Wow.
00:54:59Brady, I'm glad you're doing the sensible thing.
00:55:28There's only 1,800 here.
00:55:30That's right.
00:55:32Where's the rest of it?
00:55:34I couldn't dig it up.
00:55:36Take it or leave it.
00:55:38I'll take it.
00:55:49Get me the police station.
00:55:51What's the idea?
00:55:53I told you I'd forget about the whole thing for $3,000
00:55:55but not for 1,800.
00:55:57Now if you've got the rest of it on you
00:55:59you'd better pay me now before it's too late.
00:56:25Come on.
00:56:55Come on.
00:57:26Dan! Hey, Danny boy!
00:57:28Hi, Chuck.
00:57:30Hi, Ellen.
00:57:32Danny, I missed your quitting time tonight.
00:57:34I wanted to say goodbye.
00:57:36Goodbye?
00:57:38Yeah, I quit today.
00:57:40I'm through with that screwball Mackey.
00:57:42I told you what he tried to pull on me, didn't I?
00:57:44No, I know you didn't.
00:57:46Well, you remember the night the sedan disappeared?
00:57:48Well, the next morning he called me and said,
00:57:50I've got to go.
00:57:52I've got to go.
00:57:53The night the sedan disappeared?
00:57:55Well, the next morning he called me in his office
00:57:57and tried to tell me I swiped him.
00:57:59He said what?
00:58:01Like I'm telling you, he said I stole the car.
00:58:03Gave me a lot of hooey about somebody seeing me drive away.
00:58:05Wait a minute, I'm all mixed up.
00:58:07Let me get this thing straight.
00:58:09He said that he saw you drive that car away?
00:58:11And that ain't all.
00:58:13Yesterday he called me in his office
00:58:15and he had some screwy idea I should get $3,000
00:58:17for my old man to pay for the sedan.
00:58:19Now how nuts can a guy get?
00:58:21He didn't know anything at all.
00:58:23He got his neck in a sling.
00:58:25Neck in a sling?
00:58:29Yeah.
00:58:31Yeah, he had it coming though, didn't he?
00:58:33Always trying to outsmart everybody,
00:58:35but he got too smart.
00:58:37Yeah, he got so smart he got his neck in a sling.
00:58:43Danny, Danny, what is it?
00:58:45What's the matter?
00:58:50I have a date here.
00:58:51I'm late already.
00:59:02Come in.
00:59:04Well, how'd it go?
00:59:06Did he take the money?
00:59:08Yeah, yeah, he took it.
00:59:10I told you he would.
00:59:12Pack your things, we gotta get out of here.
00:59:14What are you talking about?
00:59:16He tried to call the cops, I had to stop him.
00:59:18Stop him?
00:59:19I told you to pack your things.
00:59:21Stop clowning, Danny, how?
00:59:23I'm not clowning, he tried to call the cops.
00:59:25I had to take the phone away from him.
00:59:27He pulled a gun on me, I strangled him.
00:59:29On the level?
00:59:31On the level.
00:59:33Look, they won't find him until in the morning.
00:59:35By that time we'll be halfway to Texas, baby.
00:59:37You'll be halfway to Texas, not me.
00:59:39But the cops will be after us.
00:59:41They won't be after me.
00:59:43I don't have to run away.
00:59:45Look, we're in this thing together.
00:59:47You told me to offer him the dough.
00:59:49She's the one that watches out for herself.
00:59:51If I didn't, who would?
00:59:53You don't care about anybody else, do you?
00:59:56Why, sure I do.
00:59:58I wouldn't want to see anything happen to you, Danny.
01:00:02I certainly wouldn't want to see the cops catch you.
01:00:05Don't you think you'd better get started to Texas?
01:00:09I'll kiss you goodbye if you want me to.
01:00:13I wouldn't dirty my lips.
01:00:20One more flight.
01:00:36Miss Novak, some gentlemen to see you.
01:00:46You there, Novak?
01:00:47So what if I am?
01:00:49I've got something for you.
01:00:51Yeah?
01:00:53What is it?
01:00:55A search warrant.
01:00:59See what you've got in her purse, Smitty.
01:01:11You won't find him in there.
01:01:14I won't find who in there?
01:01:15You know who.
01:01:17Dan Brady.
01:01:19Oh, yeah, Dan Brady.
01:01:21Where will I find him?
01:01:23He's getting out of the state as fast as he can drive.
01:01:25Why aren't you getting out too?
01:01:27I didn't have any part of it. I didn't even know him.
01:01:29Didn't know who?
01:01:31Say, are you trying to make me look like a fool?
01:01:34Mackey, of course.
01:01:36Mackey? Which Mackey is that?
01:01:38Oh, the one that ran the automobile agency.
01:01:40Ran?
01:01:42Well, he can't keep on running it now that he's dead, can he?
01:01:43Dead? Who's dead?
01:01:45Mackey, of course. Brady killed him.
01:01:47The girl didn't have any part of it.
01:01:49Where did it happen?
01:01:51You know where. At the automobile...
01:01:54Say, are you trying to kid me?
01:01:58Sure.
01:02:00Maybe it's the other way around. Maybe you're trying to kid me.
01:02:02Why did you start spilling the minute I came in the door?
01:02:05Maybe it's because you wanted me to think your boyfriend had gone when he hadn't.
01:02:14How do I know he isn't still here?
01:02:19Why didn't you look under the couch?
01:02:21I don't suppose he'd be that near.
01:02:27I didn't think he'd be that close.
01:02:33Smitty.
01:02:35Watch it.
01:02:44Ha, ha, ha.
01:02:46Where does a dame like you get a coat like this?
01:02:48I bought that coat with my own money.
01:02:50You take your dirty hands off it.
01:02:52I'll bet you did.
01:02:54I can prove it. I got a receipt.
01:02:56Here. Here.
01:02:59Alaska Ferriers, 917 Main Street.
01:03:01Received a Vera Novak, $1,800.
01:03:04Well, looks like Nick had the right hunch, Smitty.
01:03:07Nick?
01:03:09What do you suppose brought us here?
01:03:10Last night somebody stole $3,600 of Nick's money,
01:03:13and today you paid $1,800 for a fur coat.
01:03:15Looks like you and your boyfriend split Nick's bankroll right down the middle.
01:03:18I don't know what you're talking about.
01:03:20Give me back my coat.
01:03:22Don't worry about your coat, sister. We'll take it right with us.
01:03:24Bring her along, Smitty, and we'll check on Mackie on the way down to the station.
01:03:29Served you right, your hussy.
01:03:31Drop dead.
01:03:41What are you doing here?
01:03:43I could see you were in trouble, so I got rid of Chuck and came down here.
01:03:45Get yourself right back home. I gotta get out of here quick.
01:03:47What is it, Steve?
01:03:49What's with the hole up in the auto park?
01:03:51What do you know about that hole?
01:03:53I saw you hiding in the alley that night.
01:03:55I'm sure you're hiding something.
01:03:57I'm not hiding anything.
01:03:59You're hiding something.
01:04:01What do you know about the hole up in the auto park?
01:04:03I saw you hiding in the alley that night.
01:04:05You're hiding something.
01:04:07You're hiding something.
01:04:08I saw you hiding in the alley that night.
01:04:10The night that Millie and I walked by.
01:04:12I couldn't see your features, but I knew that it was you.
01:04:14But then I thought maybe I was imagining things.
01:04:16You know how it is when you love someone.
01:04:18You think you see them 50 times a day.
01:04:20But a minute later you called my name and I turned around
01:04:22and there you were at the head of the alley.
01:04:25Then we heard about the hole up in the auto park
01:04:27and I saw the look on your face.
01:04:29Is that all?
01:04:31That's all.
01:04:33Well, why don't you get out and let me get started?
01:04:35I saw the police come out of the house with her.
01:04:36Are they after you too?
01:04:38What if they are? What business is of yours?
01:04:40But I can help you.
01:04:42I can tell them you were with me all evening
01:04:44and you'll have an alibi.
01:04:46I don't get it. Why do you want to help me?
01:04:48When things were going my way all I ever gave you
01:04:50was a runner up.
01:04:52Now that I'm in a jam, why don't you get smart
01:04:54and stay away from me?
01:04:56I've been away from you too long and it isn't any good.
01:04:58Don't you think I know I'm dumb
01:05:00to throw myself at a guy that doesn't want me?
01:05:02Don't you think I know I'm a fool
01:05:04to stand on the street corner for an hour
01:05:06waiting for you?
01:05:08I'll drive you home.
01:05:13It's less than a week since Helen waited for me
01:05:15outside the garage.
01:05:17Have you been dancing lately, she said,
01:05:19and all I had to do was say,
01:05:21well, I did, let's go out tonight.
01:05:23If I'd have said that, I wouldn't be running away
01:05:25from the cops tonight
01:05:27with a murder hanging over my head.
01:05:33No, Danny, no.
01:05:37Hey, buddy, pull over to the curb.
01:05:56Let's take a look at your driver's license.
01:06:02Brady, is that your name?
01:06:04Yes, sir.
01:06:06You went through a boulevard stop back there.
01:06:10Will you sign this?
01:06:12Yes.
01:06:18Take it easy.
01:06:21Yeah.
01:06:25Helen, you kept me from making an awful mistake.
01:06:27Well, if you'll only take me with you,
01:06:29I can help you, I know I can.
01:06:31Let me lay it on the line.
01:06:32I'm going to have to keep running.
01:06:34I'm going to have to keep running all my life
01:06:36because when they catch up with me,
01:06:38they're going to hang me.
01:06:40Hang you?
01:06:42For murder.
01:06:44I killed a man tonight.
01:06:46Start the car, then tell me how it happened.
01:06:50Telling her about it wasn't as hard
01:06:52as I thought it would be.
01:06:54And it was Helen who came up with the idea of Mexico.
01:06:56We decided to head for an inland town like Hermosillo,
01:06:58where not many tourists come.
01:07:00A man could be safe for 50 years in a place
01:07:02like that.
01:07:05What's that?
01:07:07That's goodbye to Mexico.
01:07:20Oh, it's the main bearing.
01:07:22It'll take a couple of days to fix.
01:07:24Well, then we'll have to hitchhike.
01:07:26And get there by morning, we'd never make it.
01:07:28We have to make it.
01:07:30Oh, Helen, I've had the right girl
01:07:32who was too dumb to know about it.
01:07:34If we ever get out of this thing...
01:07:36We're going to get out of it.
01:07:38Yeah, but how?
01:07:40I've got an idea.
01:07:42This is the baby that's going to get us there.
01:07:44Well, what are you going to do with that?
01:07:46Get us a lift, honey.
01:07:48A lift straight through to Mexico.
01:07:50Come on, careful.
01:08:03Get in quick.
01:08:05Don't try any funny stuff, I don't want to hurt you.
01:08:07All right, when the signal changes, get going.
01:08:09Turn south on the highway, keep it under 50,
01:08:11and don't go through any red lights, you understand me?
01:08:29May I ask where we're going?
01:08:32Just keep driving, you'll find out.
01:08:38I suppose you know what you're getting into.
01:08:40This isn't a car theft.
01:08:42It's kidnapping.
01:08:44No one asked you, I don't want your advice, you hear me?
01:08:46Well, I happen to be a lawyer.
01:08:48Maybe...
01:08:50Maybe you can keep your mouth shut too.
01:08:52No, Dan, let him talk, he might be able to help.
01:08:54She's right.
01:08:56Whatever it is you're running away from, this is worse.
01:08:58Kidnapping is a capital offense.
01:09:00They can hang you for it.
01:09:02What's the difference?
01:09:05They're going to hang me anyway.
01:09:08I just killed a man.
01:09:13How about the girl?
01:09:15You leave her out of it, she had nothing to do with it, you understand me?
01:09:17I believe that.
01:09:19But will the police?
01:09:21Look, son.
01:09:23I can see this girl means something to you.
01:09:25Why don't you tell me what happened?
01:09:27For her sake.
01:09:29She'll need a lawyer sooner or later.
01:09:33Maybe you're right.
01:09:36If you're sure you can keep her in the clear.
01:09:38If she's innocent?
01:09:40You tell me the whole story.
01:09:42And it's the truth?
01:09:44Truth?
01:09:47I don't know where to begin.
01:09:49Start at the beginning.
01:09:54The guy was a lawyer.
01:09:56Maybe he could help Helen, so I told him the whole story.
01:09:58I told him about sticking up shorty in the auto parking lot.
01:09:59And about breaking into the penny arcade in the middle of the night.
01:10:01I told him about beer and Nick and old man Mackey.
01:10:03I told him everything that had happened.
01:10:05From the very beginning to the end.
01:10:09I see.
01:10:11Now the first thing you want to know is where the girl stands.
01:10:14That's right.
01:10:16She's in the clear.
01:10:18They can't touch her.
01:10:20But how about Dan?
01:10:22You said maybe it wouldn't be murder, it might be manslaughter.
01:10:24No, it's murder, all right.
01:10:26But it's murder.
01:10:27No, it's murder, all right.
01:10:29I might be able to get him off with second degree.
01:10:32They'd have a hard time proving premeditation.
01:10:35Second degree, that'd mean life, wouldn't it?
01:10:37It could.
01:10:39I'd rather they hung me.
01:10:42There's one discrepancy in your story.
01:10:44It's worth checking up on because if we get the right answer,
01:10:47murder's out.
01:10:49Manslaughter too.
01:10:51What do you mean?
01:10:53How do you know he's dead?
01:10:55He's dead, that's all.
01:10:57His head fell over on the desk like he was dead.
01:11:00It would do that if he were unconscious.
01:11:02Did you feel his pulse?
01:11:04Or listen for a heartbeat?
01:11:06No, I didn't.
01:11:08Men don't die easily.
01:11:10They take a lot of killing.
01:11:13I can imagine Mackey sitting in a police station right now
01:11:16telling the desk man what a narrow escape he had.
01:11:20If he only was alive, Helen, if he only was alive,
01:11:23I'd give myself up to the first cop that came along.
01:11:25He's an all-night restaurant.
01:11:27Why don't I use their phone, find out how Mackey is?
01:11:30Why don't you keep on driving, too?
01:11:32I'll tell you how Mackey is.
01:11:34He's dead, that's what, he's dead.
01:11:36Oh, but Dan, maybe he isn't.
01:11:38No, he is, I know he is.
01:11:40Listen to you, I didn't want to kill anybody.
01:11:42I don't want to kill you now,
01:11:44but if you try any more funny stuff,
01:11:46I'll blow a hole right through you.
01:11:48What day is this, Helen?
01:11:50It's Saturday.
01:11:52No, it isn't, it's Sunday morning.
01:11:53It's 12 hours before daylight.
01:11:55We can still make it.
01:11:57Turn this car around.
01:12:09Where are we going now?
01:12:11Remember Buzz Larson?
01:12:13He's taking a fishing party way down past San Diego this morning.
01:12:15If we can get to the pier in time, I can go with him.
01:12:17To Mexico?
01:12:18Way past the Mexican border.
01:12:20Step on it, will you?
01:12:24I hope the boat is still here.
01:12:26Yeah, yeah, there it is.
01:12:28Down there.
01:12:30We made it.
01:12:37We'd better hurry.
01:12:39I'd better hurry, not you.
01:12:41I'm going with you, Dan.
01:12:43There's no harbor below San Diego.
01:12:45I'll have to swim in from the sea.
01:12:47I'm going with you, Dan.
01:12:49You've taken too many chances already.
01:12:51I've got to go on by myself.
01:12:53I'll send for you as soon as I get a job.
01:12:55You know that, don't you, baby?
01:12:57Yes, but, oh, Dan, don't go.
01:12:59I'm so afraid.
01:13:01There's nothing to be afraid of.
01:13:03Hey, wait a minute.
01:13:05Maybe there is.
01:13:07How are we going to keep this guy from going to the cops
01:13:09until after the boat pulls out of the harbor?
01:13:11I'll keep him away.
01:13:13Give me the gun.
01:13:15I wouldn't do that if I were you.
01:13:17Why not?
01:13:19I told you the girl was in the clear.
01:13:21She won't be if she takes that gun.
01:13:23I might.
01:13:25As a citizen, I have to notify the police,
01:13:27but as a friend, I don't have to hurry.
01:13:31Thanks.
01:13:36Would you do me another favor?
01:13:38If I can.
01:13:40Don't wait until the boat pulls out of the harbor.
01:13:42Leave now.
01:13:44I'll get her out of here right away.
01:13:46Thanks.
01:13:54And you haven't seen Brady since noon Monday.
01:13:56No, I haven't.
01:13:58And you haven't heard from him either.
01:14:00No.
01:14:02Wait a minute.
01:14:04I just remembered.
01:14:06He phoned me Monday afternoon.
01:14:08For any particular reason?
01:14:10Yeah.
01:14:12I owed him 20 bucks.
01:14:14He said he needed it.
01:14:16There's a news broadcast at 6 o'clock.
01:14:18I want to talk to you about it.
01:14:20Okay.
01:14:21There's a news broadcast at 6 o'clock.
01:14:23I want to hear it before I talk to the authorities.
01:14:25...regarding every airport, every bus depot,
01:14:27and every railroad station
01:14:29in a determined effort to prevent the killer's escape.
01:14:31At 4 o'clock this morning,
01:14:33officers threw roadblocks across both state highways
01:14:35and are now stopping all outbound cars,
01:14:37but at last reports,
01:14:39McDonald was still at large.
01:14:41McDonald?
01:14:43Meanwhile, police officers Truxton and Chandler are dead,
01:14:45and Deputy Sheriff Alan P. Janus
01:14:47was taken to the emergency hospital
01:14:49with two bullets in his thigh.
01:14:51At home, Beach City authorities
01:14:53are seeking garage mechanic Daniel Brady, 26,
01:14:55an employee of the Mackey Motor Company.
01:14:57Late yesterday evening,
01:14:59watchman Michael J. O'Brien,
01:15:01while making his regular nightly rounds,
01:15:03discovered the unconscious body of Oren Mackey,
01:15:05president of the automobile agency,
01:15:07lying in his office.
01:15:09Mackey regained consciousness
01:15:11at St. Mark's Hospital shortly after midnight
01:15:13and named Brady as his assailant.
01:15:15What? Then he's alive.
01:15:17Tommy, I want you to watch yourself
01:15:19before you run into that kid.
01:15:21You got a gun?
01:15:27Hey, Buzz!
01:15:29Buzz!
01:15:31Wait a minute! I'm coming!
01:15:33Hey, who's that fellow there?
01:15:35That might be our boy.
01:15:37Let's take a look at him.
01:15:52Shoot her! Stop!
01:15:57Hey, Brady!
01:15:59Watch yourself.
01:16:02Buzz!
01:16:04Wait a minute! Wait a minute!
01:16:21Buzz!
01:16:52Watch yourself. He's shooting.
01:16:54I'll go after her. You stay on top of her.
01:17:22I heard shooting!
01:17:36Did you see him?
01:17:38No, he didn't come through here.
01:17:41Look, what's that?
01:17:48I'm coming, Dan!
01:17:49It's all right. You didn't kill him, Dan.
01:17:53Hey, what's going on?
01:17:55What happened?
01:17:56They shot a cop.
01:17:57I heard it on the radio.
01:17:58What about who?
01:17:59The guy that killed a couple of cops.
01:18:01Where's the guy?
01:18:03I don't know. They shot somebody.
01:18:05Here, here, here.
01:18:07I'm out.
01:18:09Stand back, folks. Gym room.
01:18:11There's the guy that got shot right there.
01:18:15Where did you say your automobile was?
01:18:17On the pier, right over there.
01:18:19I'll take the car and I'll drive it straight to the hospital.
01:18:21If that's all right with you.
01:18:22Certainly.
01:18:23You'll save much time instead of waiting for the ambulance.
01:18:25I wouldn't have shot you if I thought you had a gun.
01:18:27What did you do with it?
01:18:28I dropped it.
01:18:30What do you think they're going to give me?
01:18:31Have you ever been in trouble before?
01:18:33No, no, never.
01:18:34Well, I think we can rule out the watch and the $20 bill.
01:18:37They'll probably charge you with the hold-up,
01:18:39stealing the car,
01:18:40and breaking you to the penny arcade.
01:18:42That could add up to anything from one to ten years.
01:18:46But since you're a first offender,
01:18:47my guess is that it'll be nearer one than ten.
01:18:50Whatever it is, I'll take it.
01:18:52Whenever it is, I'll be waiting for you, Dan.
01:18:55If you want me to.
01:18:56You're a great gal, Helen.
01:18:58I love you, Dan.
01:19:00That goes both ways.
