00:00:00The End

00:01:30Oh dear, I missed him so much.

00:01:34I hope he makes it.

00:01:37Here's the happy breed of Staten Islanders taking their usual ocean voyage to a time clock.

00:01:43And the Bronxites.

00:01:45Tired before the day starts.

00:01:46Even the pigeons are clock punchers.

00:01:51Everybody but me.

00:01:53Cause Uncle Sam is my boss and 24 hours a day is my schedule.

00:01:58Official description, Customs Investigator Cliff Holden.

00:02:02Age 35.

00:02:03Graduate, University of Wisconsin.

00:02:06At the moment, sporting a new hat makes me look like a banker.

00:02:10Well, here we go.

00:02:16Now's the time.

00:02:17My vacation is officially over.

00:02:19It's good to get back.

00:02:20Yes, today.

00:02:27Oh, hello, Cliff.

00:02:27I'll call you back.

00:02:28Come on in.

00:02:29Hi, Chief.

00:02:30Hi.

00:02:30You know, I was going to bring you back the biggest moose head in all of Canada.

00:02:34But...

00:02:34Yes, I know.

00:02:35But you never got one.

00:02:36Got one.

00:02:37Didn't even see one.

00:02:39Hi, Goldie.

00:02:39Good sayings.

00:02:41Cliff, I got a job for you.

00:02:43Oh, this is Martin of the Apex Insurance Club.

00:02:47Cliff, I've got a job that I wouldn't think of handing to anyone but you.

00:02:55When did this happen?

00:02:56Three weeks ago.

00:02:58How come I wasn't told?

00:03:00We tried, Cliff.

00:03:01We tried to get you everything.

00:03:02Who was a criminal of some sort, you'd have no trouble locating him.

00:03:05But we tried...

00:03:05Boy, you can easily enough find a criminal.

00:03:07Something like this happened.

00:03:08I don't know what more you can ask.

00:03:09All right.

00:03:11All right.

00:03:12I knew you'd want to handle the case.

00:03:15I'll find the complete facts leading up to Steve's murder in that file.

00:03:19Martin here is covering for the insurance company, and I might add at the moment he knows more about the case than we do.

00:03:24Well, now, on September 5th, our Paris office issued a policy insuring a necklace.

00:03:32Uh, bought by, uh, Mrs. Lydia Brundage.

00:03:35Uh, here's Mrs. Brundage wearing the necklace.

00:03:41Now, about two months later, uh, November 12th to be exact, Mrs. Brundage reported the theft of this necklace in Cannes, France.

00:03:51What's that got to do with Steve?

00:03:52What's it got to do with him?

00:03:54The French authorities weren't able to get a smell of the crooks.

00:03:57So unless we come up with that necklace within the next couple of weeks, they have to plunk out 325,000 bucks to a Mrs. Lydia Brundage.

00:04:05Where does Steve fit in?

00:04:06This is how it measures.

00:04:08Somewhere along the line, your friend Steve picked up the trail of the necklace.

00:04:11It led him to a broken-down hotel in Marseille.

00:04:14It was here that he set up an observation post in a room right next door to the crooks.

00:04:18Who was Steve after, Chief?

00:04:20We know that Steve Regan was after something and had found someone.

00:04:24But we had no report for him until whatever he knew died with him.

00:04:27At least we thought it did until a couple of days ago.

00:04:30A very bright boy in our Paris headquarters by the name of McQueen has been going over every foot of ground that Steve Regan covered.

00:04:38And he's found one thing, one name, on hotel registers and passenger lists.

00:04:44Wherever that name went, Steve Regan was sure to go.

00:04:49What name does the name go by?

00:04:52Matthew Royal.

00:04:54Ever hear him?

00:04:55Royal?

00:04:57Doesn't register.

00:04:58It will.

00:04:59Well.

00:05:00You got a line on him?

00:05:02Nothing that would stand up in court for more than ten minutes.

00:05:07You think Royal's the guy that killed Steve, huh?

00:05:09We don't know that, Cliff.

00:05:10But he's the only decent lead we had to go by.

00:05:13But don't forget.

00:05:14Your job is to stop that necklace from coming through.

00:05:18What about the killer?

00:05:20I don't think we'd mind if you worked on that, too.

00:05:23But don't forget.

00:05:24Your job is the necklace.

00:05:26When do I start?

00:05:27Where do I start from?

00:05:28This came over the teletype a couple of hours ago.

00:05:32Royal Book Passage, United States, by KLM, Royal Dutch Airlines, the 29th.

00:05:38Signed with Queen.

00:05:4029th?

00:05:40Right.

00:05:41What's the day after tomorrow?

00:05:43Right.

00:05:43And I want you on that plane, Cliff.

00:05:45If you get out by tonight, you'll just about have time enough to make it.

00:05:49Now, here's your passport and your identification.

00:05:53Did you see?

00:05:53You're William Herrera, a private investigator.

00:05:56You've got an office, a telephone, and a private secretary named Helen.

00:05:59It's all there for you.

00:06:01Check it all around.

00:06:02It's your home, and anyone else you're liable to run into.

00:06:12I know what Steve meant to you, Cliff.

00:06:14I know you were kids together, and you went to a war together.

00:06:18Yeah.

00:06:20Thanks, Chief.

00:06:22I'll get him.

00:06:25One way or the other.

00:06:31Come on in, Minnie.

00:06:32I have a homemade pot roast sandwich for you, Cliff.

00:06:37In Europe, you won't find Minnie Hoffman's cooking.

00:06:39Thank you, Minnie.

00:06:41Say, what is it?

00:06:41A new style?

00:06:44I don't know.

00:06:44You like it?

00:06:45Oh, yeah.

00:06:46Nice.

00:06:47No sales resistance.

00:06:48Well, I'm very glad, Cliff.

00:06:49I've been waiting for a chance to get rid of this old hat.

00:06:51Ah, no, no, no, no, Minnie.

00:06:54That's, uh, that is my working hat.

00:06:56Well, let me tell you something, Cliff.

00:06:58It's about time it got retired.

00:06:59Hey, Minnie, you know, I think if I was just about ten years old...

00:07:03I know.

00:07:04You'd marry me.

00:07:06For ten years now, you've been telling me that.

00:07:08But do you ever do it?

00:07:08Never.

00:07:10Look at this messy packing.

00:07:12Well, I've just...

00:07:16They used to belong to Stevie.

00:07:18Good luck child, I used to call him.

00:07:19Yeah.

00:07:20He should have held on to him.

00:07:22He needed him more than I did.

00:07:27Oh, yes, yes, Minnie.

00:07:28Hide that picture somewhere.

00:07:30Cliff, why don't you take a later airplane?

00:07:32I made such a wonderful supper for you tonight.

00:07:34Just put it on a slow fire, Minnie.

00:07:36I'll be back in three days.

00:07:37Three days?

00:07:39And you're taking all these clothes?

00:07:40It's part of the act, you know.

00:07:41Oh, oh, Minnie, if anybody should ask any questions.

00:07:46I'm William Herra.

00:07:47Got an office and secretary.

00:07:49Boots all down on his card, you know, just like we've done before.

00:07:52And now, Minnie Scram, I want to get dressed.

00:07:56Okay, Cliff.

00:07:57I mean, William.

00:08:04William Herra, 249 Nassau Street, New York City.

00:08:07Okay, get aboard.

00:08:11Monsieur William Herra, de New York.

00:08:14Merci, monsieur.

00:08:14Vos papiers sont tout en ordre.

00:08:16Can I change for a Frank McQueen?

00:08:37I think so, Mr. Herra.

00:08:43Thanks.

00:08:44Don't mention it.

00:08:46Well, what's the do?

00:08:48Checked and rechecked all the passengers scheduled on this flight.

00:08:51They all seem okay.

00:08:54Royal's got any friends on this plane.

00:08:56He's done a good job.

00:09:01Hasn't been out of our sight for three weeks.

00:09:03Anything else?

00:09:07Got the seat right next to him on the plane.

00:09:11Is that the baby that's going to take us?

00:09:13Right.

00:09:15Flying Dutchman.

00:09:17Having the seat next to him ought to give me a chance to get nice and chummy with him.

00:09:22Yeah.

00:09:23Practically buddies.

00:09:25I'd like nothing better.

00:09:27Well, that's it.

00:09:31Flying Dutchman leaves in an hour.

00:09:33All I can say is be careful and don't underestimate him.

00:09:39Royal's a bad cookie.

00:09:42Thanks.

00:09:44Well, good hunting.

00:09:47I'll be seeing you.

00:09:58Excuse me.

00:10:00The binoculars.

00:10:01I would like to look through.

00:10:02Oh, I'm sorry.

00:10:06I'll get it.

00:10:08That's gone.

00:10:09Here.

00:10:10Here.

00:10:11We'll fix you up.

00:10:13Money in here.

00:10:15There you are.

00:10:16On the house.

00:10:18What is that?

00:10:19On the house?

00:10:20For free.

00:10:20You speak English pretty well.

00:10:24Where'd you pick it up?

00:10:25The Americans were good teachers during the war.

00:10:28Since you come here, everybody speaks as good as well as I do.

00:10:31The fleek on the hollander.

00:10:34The fleek on the hollander.

00:10:34That's my plane.

00:10:36The fleek on the hollander.

00:10:39We call it the flying Dutchman.

00:10:41I know.

00:10:42You're leaving France, huh?

00:10:45Uh-huh.

00:10:45On tonight's flight?

00:10:47It's my first trip to America.

00:10:50I'm going to be married.

00:10:52Joe's his name.

00:10:53Congratulations.

00:10:56You will like my Joe.

00:10:58He's very funny.

00:10:59And very, very handsome, too.

00:11:01Okay, let's see his picture.

00:11:04Yeah.

00:11:06How did you know I have Joe's picture?

00:11:08Military secret.

00:11:10You're a big tease, mister.

00:11:12Mister?

00:11:13Hera.

00:11:14Bill Hera.

00:11:15How do you do?

00:11:16I'm Kathy Van Boren.

00:11:17Kathy Van Boren.

00:11:18How do you do?

00:11:19Very well.

00:11:22It will be wonderful to be an American.

00:11:26Nice, yes.

00:11:29He rides every week.

00:11:30Three years now.

00:11:32Three years.

00:11:33It's not his fault.

00:11:34You have such strict quarters.

00:11:36I'm lucky to go now.

00:11:37Some of my friends in Holland still wait.

00:11:40Oh, you're Dutch.

00:11:43I'm a Hollander.

00:11:44I beg your pardon.

00:11:48Do you live in New York?

00:11:51We haven't even established that I'm an American.

00:11:54You're not an American.

00:11:58Now you're teasing me again.

00:12:00Joe lives in New York.

00:12:02He says it's not a beautiful apartment.

00:12:04But to be beautiful, I know I'll be beautiful.

00:12:08He described the house, the street.

00:12:12I can close my eyes and see it now.

00:12:14Hiya, Joe.

00:12:32How do you like my handiwork?

00:12:33Well, without even seeing it, I like it.

00:12:35That's not what is it.

00:12:37Say, the big one.

00:12:39Yeah, you didn't know I was an artist, did you, Joe?

00:12:40No, I didn't.

00:12:42Thanks a lot.

00:12:43Thanks.

00:12:43I'll see you.

00:12:44Hey, I learned art in the Camouflage Battalion during the war.

00:12:47Oh?

00:12:47Yeah.

00:12:48I ain't worked since.

00:12:49Not much use for Camouflage and civilian life.

00:12:51Oh, you're telling me.

00:12:53You know, I only did it because I like to draw.

00:12:55Huh?

00:12:56Well, thanks a lot.

00:12:57Thanks a lot.

00:12:57I'll be seeing you.

00:12:58Hey, what are you doing here?

00:13:17Hiya, bridegroom.

00:13:19We're your guests.

00:13:21Guests?

00:13:22Yeah, your guests.

00:13:25Who are you?

00:13:26Who, me?

00:13:27What are you doing with those immigration people?

00:13:29Hey, bridegroom, take it easy.

00:13:31Come here.

00:13:31Look, we're just going to borrow them for a few days, that's all.

00:13:35So relax.

00:13:36Are you crazy?

00:13:38Give me this.

00:13:39Hey, take it easy, bridegroom.

00:13:41If you're alive, I'd get hurt and that wouldn't be nice.

00:13:50Bridegroom.

00:13:51Come on, Bertie.

00:13:52Get your coat on.

00:13:53Let's get out of here.

00:13:54Okay.

00:13:57You're good.

00:14:25You're great.

00:14:25All right, all right. The kid's out. Leave alone. Stop it. Stop it.

00:14:55Come on. Come on.

00:15:15Let's get out of here.

00:15:21Come on, let's go.

00:15:25The bride.

00:15:29Come on.

00:15:42Well, good luck to both of you.

00:15:45Thank you. I think I'm very lucky to get a fellow like Joe.

00:15:49Looks to me like Joe's pretty lucky guy himself.

00:15:53I think he's a lucky stiff.

00:15:56Stiff?

00:15:57Skip it.

00:15:58Skip it.

00:15:59Let's get a boy, shall we?

00:16:01I don't see you.

00:16:03I don't see you.

00:16:04I don't see you.

00:16:05I don't see you.

00:16:06I don't see you.

00:16:07I don't know.

00:16:08I don't know.

00:16:09I don't know.

00:16:11Mr. Hennessey.

00:16:12I'll see you.

00:16:14Mr. Randolph, Walter.

00:16:17Ms. Van Borne.

00:16:19I'll see you.

00:16:20Mr. Carroll, I'll see you.

00:16:23This is a little nice.

00:16:24You are sitting here, too, so we can talk all the way over to America.

00:16:44Isn't that nice?

00:16:49You're sitting here, too, so we can talk all the way over to America.

00:16:54Fine.

00:16:55A friend of yours?

00:16:57Oh, I met him last week at the American Express office when I bought my ticket.

00:17:02He's an American, too.

00:17:04We had a long talk while we were waiting.

00:17:07I can imagine who did the talking.

00:17:09You probably chewed his ear off.

00:17:11Me?

00:17:12Chewed his ear off?

00:17:13What is this?

00:17:18Sorry to bother you.

00:17:19That's quite all right.

00:17:27The way they shoot these things across the sky these days hardly gives you a chance to get the sea core.

00:17:31What is it?

00:17:45I do not understand this.

00:17:47Chewed his ear off.

00:17:48I never heard this before.

00:17:49It's just an expression.

00:17:51Oh, yeah.

00:17:55You two are together, big left chase.

00:17:57No, no, no, no.

00:17:58Oh, thank you.

00:17:59That looks very nice.

00:18:00Yes, sir.

00:18:15Thank you very much.

00:18:17The trip's almost over.

00:18:46The nearest I've gotten to Royal was that little howdy-do before the plane started.

00:18:51I guess his mother told him not to talk to strangers.

00:18:54My little girlfriend hasn't helped any.

00:18:57We'll be at the New York International Airport in two hours.

00:19:04You awake?

00:19:05Mm-hmm.

00:19:07Have a nice sleep?

00:19:11I'm going to be in New York in two hours.

00:19:14Two hours?

00:19:17Excuse me.

00:19:18Have a nice race.

00:19:34Bye.

00:19:37Bye.

00:19:40Bye.

00:19:41Bye.

00:19:42Bye.

00:19:43Bye.

00:19:44Bye.

00:19:45Bye.

00:22:46Are you two related?

00:22:48Just friends.

00:22:51Might be a good idea for an ambulance where you have a while in the land.

00:22:55Probably would.

00:22:56There's the pilot to radio ahead for an ambulance.

00:39:09I don't know. Maybe the insurance company.

00:39:11No, Martin's the man.

00:39:13Yes, maybe you're right.

00:39:14Matt, let me knock him off. Why take him more chances?

00:39:17No, he's our only lead to that girl.

00:39:19Come on, wake up.

00:39:21Let's try again. Maybe he's ready to talk.

00:39:23Augie, did he come to?

00:39:25Yeah. Come on, you kiddo.

00:39:27Come on.

00:39:30Feel better, Mr. Heron?

00:39:32I'm happy to see that.

00:39:34Come now. No hard feelings.

00:39:37You understand my concern, I'm sure.

00:39:40About your condition.

00:39:41I like you. Don't make it hard.

00:39:44What do you say?

00:39:47About what?

00:39:49My little proposition.

00:39:52Royal, I'd like to help you, but...

00:39:55Then you really don't know, huh?

00:39:59I want to believe you, Mr. Heron.

00:40:01I think I do, but I'd like to keep tabs on you anyhow, just in case.

00:40:05Where do you live?

00:40:07Any hotel, it'll take me.

00:40:09What's your office telephone number?

00:40:12Beekman 93425.

00:40:15Call it.

00:40:15Yeah.

00:40:42There is investigation service.

00:40:44Checks.

00:40:45Tell her to hold the wire for a moment.

00:40:47Talk to her.

00:40:49Hold on, will you, sister?

00:40:59Helen.

00:41:00What's happening at the office?

00:41:02I'll take you, Mr. Heron.

00:41:04Are you coming in this afternoon?

00:41:05Are you coming in this afternoon?

00:41:06Thanks.

00:41:09Well, that, uh...

00:41:10It all depends on what...

00:41:12What happens, Helen.

00:41:14Hello.

00:41:15We've got a little bet on here.

00:41:18Bill says you can remember anything.

00:41:20Is he left-handed or right-handed?

00:41:22He's right-handed, of course,

00:41:24and I'll bet he needs a manicure.

00:41:25You've got a good memory, all right.

00:41:28Anytime you decide to change jobs,

00:41:30come over and work for me.

00:41:32Thanks, but this job says goodbye.

00:41:33Yeah, all right.

00:41:37Get his wallet.

00:41:41All right, you're free to go now, Mr. Heron.

00:41:44Sorry if I've called you any...

00:41:46convenience.

00:41:47Inconvenience, it was.

00:41:48What about my gun?

00:41:50Give it to him.

00:41:50Put some out of your nuts!

00:41:54Yeah.

00:41:56That's Carney.

00:41:58I told you not to call me here.

00:41:59Doc Spencer slipped out of his room.

00:42:01Oh, it's nothing, nothing.

00:42:03I threw over to Garcia's.

00:42:03He probably went there for a pint.

00:42:05And get right back.

00:42:12My gun?

00:42:13Give it to him, Willie.

00:42:14What's in my coat?

00:42:28Just don't follow me around anymore, buddy.

00:42:32And there's a tip for you.

00:42:34See you at the frat house, Roy.

00:42:39I said once over lightly,

00:42:40and, brother, did I get it.

00:42:42What a business.

00:42:42Let a couple of punk hoodlums suck you around

00:42:45in the hope of getting a lead to something,

00:42:47and then when you get it,

00:42:48you got a tramp all over town tracking you down.

00:42:50That was the break I was looking for

00:42:52over hearing that phone conversation.

00:42:54So, the doctor on the plane is in cahoots with Roy.

00:42:57It makes sense now,

00:42:59especially with Doc's background.

00:43:01Because according to Brandon,

00:43:02he started off like a flash

00:43:04and ended up without a scruple to his name.

00:43:06All because his wife died,

00:43:08and he had an appetite for Benedictine.

00:43:10Yeah, I understand he was in Marseille

00:43:13about the time Steve was killed.

00:43:16No Garcia here.

00:43:19Well, if at first you don't succeed...

00:43:20At this rate, I'll have fallen arches before the week's out.

00:43:3316,000 liquor stores in New York,

00:43:37and I'm looking for a guy called Garcia

00:43:40who knows a guy called Carney.

00:43:42Not much to work on,

00:43:44even though I do find him.

00:43:45Garcia to Carney to Doc Spencer.

00:43:47Triple play.

00:43:49But Doc may be the one

00:43:50to help me prove that Royal murdered Steve.

00:43:53Well, here we go again.

00:44:10What's good?

00:44:11Running wild in the sixth.

00:44:15What's good?

00:44:16Everything is good.

00:44:18It's special today.

00:44:21Should be a special.

00:44:22Mule swear that's bad.

00:44:23Bad?

00:44:24Mister, there is good whiskey and better whiskey.

00:44:28There's no such thing as bad whiskey.

00:44:30How much you want to pay?

00:44:32Bet you don't sell much of this stuff.

00:44:34We don't sell much of anything right now.

00:44:36But lately I've been selling a little bit of it.

00:44:39What do you get for it?

00:44:40Seven dollars and 98 cents.

00:44:44Give me a bottle.

00:44:48Five.

00:44:50Eight bucks.

00:44:51Say, I, uh, I saw Carney in here

00:44:56about, uh, half hour ago.

00:44:58Did you say where he was going?

00:44:59I think he went up to the hotel.

00:45:02Say, are you a friend of Carney's?

00:45:04I ain't seen you around here before.

00:45:06Oh, I get around once in a while.

00:45:08Hey, you play the Gigi's?

00:45:09I take care of all the boys in the neighborhood.

00:45:11That's good to know.

00:45:12Track odds.

00:45:34Hey.

00:45:34I'd like a room.

00:45:57Sign there.

00:46:04John Smith?

00:46:22Yeah.

00:46:26Any glasses up there?

00:46:28There's a glass there.

00:46:30Got any baggage?

00:46:31That'll be a buck and a half in advance.

00:46:36A buck and a half?

00:46:37It says a buck outside.

00:46:38It also says up.

00:46:40A buck and a half.

00:46:46Room 2C.

00:46:47Say if, uh, if I want something, who do I ask for?

00:47:02Me?

00:47:03What's your name?

00:47:05Carney.

00:47:17loot 2C.

00:47:34.

00:47:35.

00:47:37.

00:47:38.

00:47:42.

00:47:43.

00:47:44.

00:47:45It's me, pal. I live next door.

00:47:51Got a corkscrew?

00:47:52Corkscrew.

00:47:53Yeah, man.

00:48:06Thanks.

00:48:07Thanks very much.

00:48:11Hurry up.

00:48:14Sit down.

00:48:15Let's do it, pal.

00:48:21Ah, I really needed that.

00:48:24What about you, huh?

00:48:26Go on, go on. Take a shot.

00:48:29Just one.

00:48:36That's good, huh?

00:48:37Go on, take another one.

00:48:40Thanks.

00:48:42Here's another one.

00:48:43Here's Tria.

00:48:53Hey.

00:48:55I've seen you before.

00:48:57Yeah, I've seen you somewhere, too.

00:49:00Wait a minute.

00:49:01Aren't you Dr. Spencer?

00:49:02Paris, that's where it was, Paris.

00:49:04Yeah, get around.

00:49:07You're a celebrity, a famous doctor.

00:49:09Wait a minute.

00:49:11Of course you are, Dr. Spencer.

00:49:13Why?

00:49:13Well, you're one of the greatest surgeons in the world.

00:49:19Thanks.

00:49:19Well, I used to see you around Paris all time, Doc.

00:49:22That's a great town, Paris.

00:49:23But were you ever in Marseille, that's a real spot for you.

00:49:29I was there.

00:49:31I was in Marseille just a couple months ago, Doc.

00:49:33I met a fellow there by the name of Matty Royal.

00:49:36You ever hear of him?

00:49:38He's supposed to be a big shot.

00:49:39Big shot.

00:49:40Yeah, he told me about a deal that he had in jewelry.

00:49:43Almost a half a million bucks.

00:49:45That's being a big shot for my money.

00:49:47Big shot.

00:49:49Thief.

00:49:51Liar.

00:49:52Murderer.

00:49:52That's what he is.

00:49:53A murderer.

00:49:54Who did he murder, Doc?

00:49:56Who did he murder, Doc?

00:49:57Was it Steve Regan?

00:49:58Was it Steve Regan, Doc?

00:49:59A great doctor like you mixed up with a murderer like Royal.

00:50:03You're a disgrace to your profession.

00:50:05Give me a drink.

00:50:05You're a disgrace to the memory of your wife.

00:50:07Leave me alone.

00:50:13Who killed Steve Regan, Doc?

00:50:15Who stuck the knife into him?

00:50:16Was it Royal?

00:50:17Was it Royal, Doc?

00:50:19Did Royal do it, Doc?

00:50:20Yes.

00:50:20Leave me alone.

00:50:21Who else was in that room beside you two when Royal knocked him off?

00:50:24No, I'm leaving.

00:50:24Who was Royal going to do?

00:50:33I'd save me to you here, Miss Lehera.

00:50:36No rough stuff in here.

00:50:37Only take him outside.

00:50:38Get lost.

00:50:39I got a big investment in this place.

00:50:40Honey, get lost.

00:50:43I need a one.

00:50:45Get out of here.

00:50:46Shut your mouth, you drunk and sloppy old man.

00:50:49Drop the bottle, Mr. Herod.

00:50:52Drop the nice.

00:50:54That's right.

00:50:56Turn around and back up.

00:50:59Turn around and back up.

00:51:01That's right.

00:51:04Come on, up, up, Mr. Herod.

00:51:05Mr. Herod.

00:51:17Mr. Herod.

00:51:23It was a wheel and drunk and sloppy.

00:51:27It was wheel and drunk and sloppy.

00:51:29Kirk.

00:51:30Get out of here.

00:51:38Oh, my God.

00:51:44Oh, my God.

00:51:47Oh, my God.

00:51:48Oh.

00:51:48Oh, my God.

00:51:49I'm here.

00:51:50Yeah.

00:51:50Oh, my God.

00:51:51I'm here.

00:51:52My God.

00:51:52Oh, my God.

00:51:53Come on, me.

00:51:54That's OK.

00:51:55Oh, my God.

00:51:56Do I?

00:51:56That's a real fucking sly.

00:52:11Squeal, huh?

00:52:13You're all fiction, Andy.

00:52:15Squeal, huh?

00:52:17Squeal, huh?

00:52:18You drunk and sly.

00:52:20Squeal, huh?

00:52:21Squeal.

00:52:26Squeal, huh?

00:52:56Squeal, huh?

00:52:58Wherever this is, it's not room four in the Palace Hotel.

00:53:02Hmm, real silt.

00:53:06Uh-oh.

00:53:07Taking that series of beatings is making things a bit lopsided.

00:53:19Oh, no, I'm not on tilt.

00:53:23Wonder who she is.

00:53:25Looks familiar.

00:53:27Wonder what she's got to do on this.

00:53:30This is real.

00:53:32I beg your pardon?

00:53:35This should help.

00:53:36Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

00:53:39It does.

00:53:48Feeling better?

00:53:50For a guy that should be dead, this isn't too bad.

00:53:54What's, uh, what's the score?

00:53:57I, I, uh, what's the gimmick?

00:53:59Gimmick?

00:54:02That's right.

00:54:02And while I'm at it, a couple of usual questions.

00:54:07Where am I?

00:54:07What, what am I doing here?

00:54:08And who are you?

00:54:10A couple.

00:54:12That's three.

00:54:15I'm Lydia Brundage.

00:54:17This is my house.

00:54:19You were brought here by Mr. Matty Royal.

00:54:22And a gentleman I believe they call...

00:54:25Only?

00:54:28Only, only is no gentleman.

00:54:31Lydia Brundage.

00:54:33The Brundage necklace Brundage.

00:54:35Hmm, that's right.

00:54:39You say Royal and, and, and, and Oney brought me here?

00:54:42That's right.

00:54:43Why?

00:54:45Mr. Royal seems to think that you have my necklace, Mr. Harris.

00:54:49For if you haven't, you know where it is.

00:54:52Do you?

00:54:56What about another drink?

00:55:01I'd like to ask a few more questions, if you don't mind.

00:55:03I rather anticipated that.

00:55:06What is, uh, your connection with Royal?

00:55:10It was in Paris.

00:55:11Right after my necklace was stolen.

00:55:14He called in my hotel and introduced himself.

00:55:16He asked for an appointment.

00:55:18A private appointment.

00:55:20And, uh, you saw him?

00:55:22He picked me up in a car and we drove around.

00:55:25He said he was acting as intermediary for the people who had my necklace.

00:55:29Oh, he offered to resell it back to you, huh?

00:55:32That's right.

00:55:33Go on.

00:55:34I asked him what was to prevent me from calling the police.

00:55:37And he laughed.

00:55:39He said that I think he was fool enough to carry the necklace around with him.

00:55:42But if I didn't want it to say so, there were plenty of others who did.

00:55:46How, uh, how much did he want for it?

00:55:52A quarter of a million dollars in cash.

00:55:56When I told him I didn't have that much money, that I'd have to go home and get it, he told me to go ahead.

00:56:01That he'd deliver in New York.

00:56:03That brings us up to you, Miss Sarah.

00:56:06I want that necklace.

00:56:07If you have it, or if you know where it is, I'll give you $100,000 for it with no questions asked.

00:56:14And I'll take care of Mr. Royal.

00:56:17Financially, of course.

00:56:20Mrs. Brundage.

00:56:22Yes?

00:56:22In the past 48 hours, three, maybe four men have been killed because of that necklace.

00:56:32You still want it?

00:56:33I still want it, Mr. Harrah.

00:56:42You think I'm pretty callous, don't you?

00:56:46What, uh, what difference does my opinion make?

00:56:51I'm in this for what I can get out of it myself.

00:56:54Oddly enough, your opinion of me does matter.

00:56:58Do you resent that?

00:57:00Why should I?

00:57:01I'm human.

00:57:02I'm a pretty human myself, Mr. Harrah.

00:57:12You would do, uh, most anything to get that piece of jewelry back, wouldn't you?

00:57:16Practically.

00:57:18But don't underrate yourself, Mr. Harrah.

00:57:21I like this.

00:57:24What are you thinking?

00:57:25Well, I can only think of one thing at a time.

00:57:33Where do we go from here?

00:57:35That's up to you.

00:57:36I'll see you to the door.

00:57:37About that, uh, uh, trinket of yours.

00:57:52I'll, uh, be in touch with you.

00:57:53Here is investigation service.

00:58:13Helen, just checking in.

00:58:16Is anything new?

00:58:17The woman that rode in the ambulance with the Van Bourne girl is named Bertie Alton.

00:58:22The hot rod with them is Oni Shore.

00:58:25If you want him, he hangs out at a joint in the village called Rudy's.

00:58:29Rudy's, huh? Uh-huh.

00:58:30If you need anything, just whistle. I'll be here.

00:58:32Bye-bye.

00:58:38I got all the dope and no proof.

00:58:40I hope I didn't take all those beatings from that pipsqueak hoodlum for nothing.

00:58:45And that royal guy is as slippery as a piece of wet soap.

00:58:48Can't pin anything on him.

00:58:50How do I trap him? What's the gimmick?

00:58:52What's the answer?

00:59:10Who is this?

00:59:15Don't worry. It's me.

00:59:17Well, how's everybody, huh?

00:59:21We were very for you, Cliff.

00:59:24Cliff?

00:59:26It's all right. I told her who you are.

00:59:28Minnie, I ask you never...

00:59:29Just look at her, Cliff.

00:59:30Minnie, that's the first time that you...

00:59:31Would a girl like that do anything wrong?

00:59:35All right.

00:59:36Well, how do you feel, really?

00:59:38Much better.

00:59:39Do you think anybody saw you when you came here?

00:59:41No.

00:59:42I'll be downstairs if you need me for anything, hmm?

00:59:50I'm glad you're feeling better.

00:59:54That's swell.

00:59:54Well, where'd you hide the necklace?

01:00:01Very good.

01:00:15Very neat.

01:00:17Who thought of that?

01:00:18It's an odd underground trick.

01:00:21To hide things from the Nazis.

01:00:24It's beautiful.

01:00:26Beautiful?

01:00:28I think it's a lousy piece of junk.

01:00:31Jill, one of the finest guys that ever lives.

01:00:37Or is it Jill?

01:00:39Yes.

01:00:43I'm sorry, Kathy.

01:00:46The man from the ambulance with a gun.

01:00:48Have you arrested him?

01:00:50You mean only?

01:00:51No, no.

01:00:53We're just letting him go, hoping that he'll lead us to something.

01:00:57Oh, that's why you haven't arrested me.

01:01:02Do you think I will lead you to something, too?

01:01:04No.

01:01:07Then why haven't you?

01:01:10Cliff, why haven't you arrested me?

01:01:16Because I don't think you had anything to do with it.

01:01:19You were a patsy.

01:01:20I do not understand it.

01:01:26Maybe they tried to kill me because I wanted to connect this.

01:01:32If I thought for one moment.

01:01:34If you thought what?

01:01:35Minny.

01:01:43Minny.

01:01:49We're going out.

01:01:51Did you call me for something, Cliff?

01:01:53Yes, yes, Minny.

01:01:55Where's Mildred?

01:01:56Where's Mildred?

01:01:57He's asking me where my Mildred is.

01:01:59Where she is every night, out with the boys.

01:02:01Kathy and Mildred are about the same size, aren't they?

01:02:03Yes.

01:02:03Minny, I want you to get one of Mildred's dresses.

01:02:05A nice one now.

01:02:06Yeah?

01:02:07We're going out night clubbing.

01:02:09Night clubbing?

01:02:09Cliff, do you think she's up to it?

01:02:11Minny, will you get one of the dresses?

01:02:14All right.

01:02:15I'll go upstairs with you and change.

01:02:26Gee, I want to kiss my baby.

01:02:56Do it now, do it now.

01:02:58Oh, how I want to kiss my baby.

01:03:00Do it now.

01:03:01I just got a hug and hold her before I get much older.

01:03:05Shall I do it?

01:03:06Do it now, do it now.

01:03:08Do it now.

01:03:09Well, I want to sing and shout.

01:03:11Do it now, do it now.

01:03:12Oh, how I want to sing and shout.

01:03:14Do it now.

01:03:16Well, I feel that righteous beat from my molars to my feet.

01:03:20Shall I do it?

01:03:21Do it now, do it now.

01:03:23Well, I want to clap my hands.

01:03:25Do it now, do it now.

01:03:27I've got to clap my hands.

01:03:29Do it now.

01:03:31My soul is full of joy like a baby with a toy.

01:03:35Should I do it?

01:03:36Do it now, do it now.

01:03:38Say, I've got to blow my horn.

01:03:40Do it now, do it now.

01:03:42I've got to blow my horn.

01:03:44Do it now.

01:03:45Well, I want to blow my horn because I'm thankful I was born.

01:03:50Shall I do it?

01:03:50Do it now, do it now.

01:03:52Always.

01:03:53Right now.

01:03:54Right now.

01:03:55Right now.

01:03:56Right now.

01:03:57Well, I'll do it.

01:03:58Do it, do it, do it now.

01:04:08Hiya, Willie, old boy.

01:04:09Come on over my feet.

01:04:10What do you say?

01:04:11Come on, it's on my house.

01:04:13Well, let's do it.

01:04:14Do it now.

01:04:15Let's go, baby.

01:04:16Come on, what a girl.

01:04:17Come on, sit down, make yourselves at home.

01:04:20It's all on me, all on me.

01:04:22No hard feelings.

01:04:23Oh, sure, no hard feelings.

01:04:26Hey, yo, get up.

01:04:28What's a big idea?

01:04:29I said get up.

01:04:31Yeah?

01:04:31Yeah, get up and get out of here.

01:04:34You see?

01:04:34Plenty of words, guys.

01:04:36There's plenty of rules.

01:04:39This suits me fun.

01:04:41That makes it okay all around, I think.

01:04:44Okay.

01:04:44Hey, how's your jaw?

01:04:52What?

01:04:53You know, your jaw, your jaw.

01:04:54Brother, do you pack a wallet?

01:04:59I didn't suppose anybody else you've got that place.

01:05:01You come around here much?

01:05:03How will you get here?

01:05:04I just about put this place on the map.

01:05:06Yeah, China.

01:05:08Shut up.

01:05:10Hey, sweetie.

01:05:12What do you say you and me sort of go out?

01:05:15Yeah, we'll give the town a big roll and we'll...

01:05:17Fort Devils.

01:05:18There you are.

01:05:18Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute.

01:05:19This is on me.

01:05:21You know, you want to remember one thing.

01:05:23I'm the host.

01:05:25I want to keep the change.

01:05:27Thanks a lot.

01:05:27You're the best customer we've got.

01:05:31What do you say?

01:05:32Here's to it, huh?

01:05:33I guess you're out celebrating, too, huh?

01:05:44Huh?

01:05:45We certainly have got it coming to us.

01:05:47What are you talking about?

01:05:49Oh, come on now.

01:05:51For sure.

01:05:51What do you mean by that crack about celebrating?

01:05:59What's to celebrate?

01:06:01It's all right.

01:06:02You can talk in front of her.

01:06:04What's to celebrate?

01:06:06The necklace.

01:06:07Didn't you know?

01:06:09Sure he does.

01:06:10I bet he's got plenty.

01:06:11Look, level with him, pal.

01:06:13I'm not fooling anymore.

01:06:15What about the necklace?

01:06:18Royal got paid off.

01:06:19We made a deal with the Brundage Dame over four hours ago.

01:06:22Police, get out!

01:06:23What did you do?

01:06:24Ah, shut up!

01:06:26I don't know what he told you, but he got paid off.

01:06:29Yeah.

01:06:31He got paid off.

01:06:37Smart guy.

01:06:42Let's go.

01:06:45What's the matter?

01:06:50Let's go.

01:06:53Good night.

01:06:54Good night.

01:07:00Good night.

01:07:12Minny! Minny!

01:07:19I didn't tell them Cliff, I didn't tell them Cliff, I didn't tell them.

01:07:24They found themselves, they found it themselves.

01:07:28I didn't tell them Cliff, they found me.

01:07:32Could you see who it was, Minny? Do you know who it was?

01:07:35Two men I'd never saw before.

01:07:39They hit me so hard.

01:07:42What can I do Cliff?

01:07:44Nothing, I'll call the doctor.

01:07:46Doc.

01:07:58Doc, Cliff, hold on.

01:08:00Could you come right over here, there's been an accident.

01:08:02Yeah, bring an ambulance.

01:08:04At home, yes.

01:08:06How you doing, Minny?

01:08:11Oh, Cliff.

01:08:12She's a terrible pain, Cliff.

01:08:14Well, the doctor will be right over now.

01:08:21Where are you going?

01:08:23Well, it would be foolish to put yourself in danger, but no one is doing it for you.

01:08:27Let me worry about that.

01:08:29But Cliff, what can we do? Where will you be?

01:08:33Brundages.

01:08:36Brundages?

01:08:37Tonight you tricked a man to kill this mighty royal and now...

01:08:41There won't be any tears at his funeral.

01:08:43Don't go, please don't go, Cliff.

01:08:45Oh!

01:08:46Oh!

01:08:47Oh!

01:08:48Oh!

01:08:49Oh!

01:08:50Oh!

01:08:51Oh!

01:08:52Uh-oh,

01:08:53Oh!

01:08:58Brundages' bedhouse.

01:09:00Last time I was here, she gave me a drink.

01:09:03I don't think she'll be so happy about this visit.

01:09:05I'm happy about this visit.

01:09:19Guess I better not go in the front way and be announced.

01:09:23Looks like there's going to be a little party in me without an invitation.

01:09:37I'll throw a little party myself.

01:09:40I hope this is the payoff so I can get in a few legs.

01:09:53ORCHESTRA PLAYS

01:11:59If I'd wanted to double-cross you, I would have done a better job.

01:12:04Come on, it's now, Matt.

01:12:05All right.

01:12:06$5,000, you'll pay it off.

01:12:24Hey.

01:12:29Put the rest of it down.

01:12:32Put it down, Matt.

01:12:38That's right.

01:12:39Just a little extra road, that's all.

01:12:45Looks like, uh, you're working for the customs department now.

01:13:03He's dead.

01:13:04Awfully dead, I hope.

01:13:06Well, you can check up another killing for the Brundage necklace.

01:13:09I had nothing to do with this.

01:13:14I was just trying to buy back my own property.

01:13:17Yeah.

01:13:18Yeah, maybe with your dough, you'll get out of it.

01:13:20I hope you enjoy those emeralds, Miss Brundage.

01:13:25A lot of other guys didn't.

01:13:26Thank you, Mr. Harrow.

01:13:29And I wouldn't dial if I were you.

01:13:31I can't, thank you, I can't.

01:13:54You're in the way.

01:13:54Shooter, a suit.

01:14:17Shooter.

01:14:17Get out of the way.

01:14:24Cliff, Cliff, I thought they killed you.

01:14:50No, no, no such luck.

01:14:51But it's nice to, uh, have someone care what happens to you.

01:14:56They found you, huh?

01:14:58Sorry, Cliff.

01:15:00We can't tamper with the immigration law.

01:15:02I'm kind of sorry we can't, Chief.

01:15:04She's a good kid.

01:15:06Of course, if she were in somebody's custody.

01:15:12But, oh, come on, let's get out of here.

01:15:15The boys will clean up.

01:15:17Eh, you better take care of that bruise.

01:15:19You got these guys, huh?

01:15:21Yes.

01:15:22They were watching the front way.

01:15:23I guess you came in the back, hmm?

01:15:28Five o'clock, and the big push starts in reverse.

01:15:32The Bronxites and Brooklynites chasing home for a hot meal

01:15:35and maybe a movie with a wife.

01:15:37The babysitter's phones must be ringing like mad.

01:15:41For me, it's just the end of one assignment

01:15:43and the beginning of another.

01:15:45Who knows, it may take me to Iceland or Peru.

01:15:47Meanwhile, it looks like I've taken on a part-time job.

01:15:54The immigration papers read,

01:15:56name, Kathy Van Bourne, age 24,

01:15:59Nationality Hollander,

01:16:01eyes brown, hair brown,
