00:09:26Taxi, lady?
00:09:45Where's your meter?
00:09:48I'll figure out the fare as we go along.
00:09:52You might overcharge me.
00:09:54I might at that. Hop in, honey.
00:09:56Where would you like to go?
00:10:02Let's go downtown. Windy shopping.
00:10:04How dull can you get?
00:10:07Well, that's what I want to do.
00:10:10We can do something else later.
00:10:15You have a deal, honey.
00:10:26It's still here.
00:10:33Nice-looking coat.
00:10:34But they'd suck you at least a thousand bucks for a coat like that.
00:10:37Are you kidding?
00:10:38Why, that's mink.
00:10:40It's a bargain at two thousand.
00:10:41Isn't that the most beautiful thing you've ever seen in your life?
00:10:46Well, it's not bad.
00:10:47Are you thinking on buying it?
00:10:50I want that coat.
00:10:52And I'm going to get it.
00:10:54For two thousand dollars?
00:10:56For whatever it takes.
00:10:58Say, wait a minute.
00:10:59You really do want it, don't you?
00:11:01You bet I do.
00:11:10I'm kidding.
00:11:12Wait a minute.
00:11:13Huh?
00:11:13Oh, they're blue.
00:11:15Oh, brown.
00:11:16Oh, but there's blues in your big brown eyes.
00:11:19Oh, you sing, too.
00:11:21Only for you, Harvey.
00:11:23Shall we go?
00:11:24Closed Mondays.
00:11:30How do you like that?
00:11:32Are you sure you didn't happen to know it was closed when you invited me?
00:11:35Oh, wait a minute.
00:11:36Would I do a thing like that?
00:11:37I'll take any place you want to go.
00:11:39Name it and you can have it.
00:11:42All right.

00:12:52That's all for you.
00:12:53Hey, wait a minute.
00:12:58Go ahead, honey.
00:12:59Play it as much as you want.
00:13:01Take it easy, Danny.
00:13:02I can handle Nick myself.
00:13:06I used to work here.
00:13:08Didn't I, Nick?
00:13:09Yeah.
00:13:11To come back, huh?
00:13:14Still in the window, Nick.
00:13:16I saw it yesterday.
00:13:17Are you crazy?
00:13:18Who do you think I am, a millionaire?
00:13:21What's going on here?
00:13:22Oh, let's skip it.
00:13:25Come on.
00:13:25We'll have our pictures taken.
00:13:27Come on.
00:13:30See you later, Nick.
00:13:32Who goes first?
00:13:33We both go.
00:13:34What do you want?
00:13:49Give me a half a buck's worth of nickels.
00:13:51Okay, Admiral.
00:13:52Now, what do you want?
00:14:04There's only nine nickels there, buddy.
00:14:06Yeah.
00:14:07Who's cheating who?
00:14:09What?
00:14:09Look, you got your nickel, haven't you?
00:14:12Hit the road.
00:14:12Why, hello, Nick.
00:14:26Look, I've got the rules in this house.
00:14:28That goes for you, too.
00:14:30Do you want to pull that kind of stuff, go somewhere else?
00:14:33Come on, beat it.
00:14:35Beat it.
00:14:35Come on, Vera.
00:14:41Let's get out of this crummy joint.

00:15:11See that big star right there?
00:15:31Yeah.
00:15:33It says Beetlejuice.
00:15:35Who?
00:15:37Beetlejuice.
00:15:38Beetlejuice, Dave used to call it.
00:15:40Dave.
00:15:42Who's Dave?
00:15:44Oh, Belle, I used to know.
00:15:46He taught me the names of all the stars.
00:15:48You know, I never saw a star until I was 16.
00:15:51How come?
00:15:56I was raised in Steel Town, West Virginia, and you couldn't see the sky for the smoke.
00:16:00So I ran away.
00:16:02Funny, I ran away from home, too.
00:16:04That was a long, long time ago.
00:16:09I, uh, what'd you do after you ran away from home?
00:16:12Oh, I was a car hop for a while.
00:16:14Waitress in a beer joint.
00:16:16Clerked in a five and ten.
00:16:18Cashier in a coffee shop.
00:16:21It's not what you run away to.
00:16:22It's what you run away from.
00:16:23I ran away from a farm and the belt the old man used to whip me with.
00:16:27That old man was sure free with that belt.
00:16:28Oh, I ran away from a lot of things.
00:16:32Ma getting drunk all the time and never having any decent clothes to wear.
00:16:36And the boarders, especially those boarders.
00:16:40They wouldn't leave me alone.
00:16:42Must have been tough.
00:16:43I need to handle them after a while.
00:16:49Think you can handle me?
00:16:51Sure.
00:16:51Sure.
00:16:52I can handle you easy.
00:16:59Yeah?
00:16:59Hello, is Buzz there?
00:17:12He what?
00:17:15Took a fishing party.
00:17:16When'll he be back?
00:17:19No, no, no, never mind.
00:17:20I'll...
00:17:22All right, I'll call him later.
00:17:23Bye.
00:17:23Bye.
00:17:24The bookkeeper.
00:17:33What's he doing here two days ahead of time?
00:17:35If he finds out, I'm sure he'll tell the old man.
00:17:38The old man's mean enough to send a guy to jail just for laughs.
00:17:41I gotta get 20 bucks in a hurry.
00:17:47How about that salary loan outfit?
00:17:49The one that's always yankin' on the radio.
00:17:51Walk in with an honest face,
00:17:52walk out with a pocket full of dough.
00:17:58I must have walked in with a wrong face.
00:18:00A couple of days to check my references.
00:18:02I haven't got any references,
00:18:03and I haven't got a couple of days.
00:18:04I haven't got any references.
00:18:12I haven't got any references.
00:18:13So, let's go.
00:18:44Can I have it for a dollar dollar like it says in the window?
00:18:47As soon as we check up on your credit.
00:18:49Credit?
00:18:50Oh.
00:18:52Well, I can't wait that long.
00:18:53Oh, wait a minute.
00:18:54You got a charge account in town?
00:18:57No, I...
00:18:58Yes, yes, I have.
00:19:00At the hub.
00:19:01At the hub where I buy my clothes.
00:19:03I'll tell you what I'll do.
00:19:04I'll call that credit manager, and if he says you're okay, you can take the watch right with you.
00:19:09Okay?
00:19:09Now, let's get it on and show you what it looks like.
00:19:13How much could you let me have on this ticker?
00:19:25Thirty dollars do you any good?
00:19:27Thirty dollars will be fine.
00:19:28Any better than last week?
00:19:39I don't know yet, Mr. Mackey.
00:19:40I'll let you know.
00:19:41Well, about that other matter.
00:19:42See if you can't find a way to make it a business deduction.
00:19:45I'll think about it, Mr. Mackey.
00:19:57Hi, George.
00:19:58Hi, Dan.
00:20:00You're, uh...
00:20:02You're kind of early this week, aren't you?
00:20:04The old man sent for me.
00:20:05Had some tax reports for me to get out.
00:20:07Oh.
00:20:07And I figured as long as I was here, I'd get my Thursday work done.
00:20:15Say, Dan, I just checked the register, and it's twenty dollars short.
00:20:22Well, maybe you could have made a mistake or something.
00:20:25No, I checked it twice.
00:20:28Well, you know, sometimes the money gets stuck in the money sack down there.
00:20:32Yeah, yeah, here it is.
00:20:41See?
00:20:43But I looked in the money sack.
00:20:46Just didn't look good enough.
00:20:47Can I do anything for you, sir?
00:21:03You're down, Brady.
00:21:04Yeah.
00:21:10I'm Moriarty.
00:21:12California Investigation Service.
00:21:13You bought a watch yesterday at Jay's Jewelers, didn't you?
00:21:18Yeah, yeah, I did.
00:21:20And took it straight to Uncle John's and hocked it.
00:21:23Well, what if I did?
00:21:25Don't play dumb.
00:21:26Why would you buy a watch for a hundred dollars and hock it the same day for thirty?
00:21:30Why?
00:21:31Because you don't intend to pay the hundred, that's why.
00:21:34Now, wait a minute.
00:21:34Don't holler before you're hurt, pal.
00:21:36I signed up to pay that thing ten bucks a month,
00:21:38and when the month's up, I'll pay him the ten bucks.
00:21:39Oh, no, you won't.
00:21:41Because Jay Jewelers don't think you're going to be here when the month's up.
00:21:44They think you're going to skip town.
00:21:45So you'll pay up now, or Jay's going to swear out a warrant.
00:21:50Warrant?
00:21:51Warrant for what?
00:21:52I'll give it to you in words of one syllable, my friend.
00:21:56When you buy something on the installment plan,
00:21:58you sign what they call a conditional sales contract.
00:22:00Yeah?
00:22:00This contract says that the watch, the radio, or the easy chair
00:22:04don't belong to you until you make your last payment.
00:22:07It says that if you sell, mortgage, or hock,
00:22:10something you don't own yet,
00:22:12you're guilty of larceny.
00:22:14And a hundred dollar watch is grand larceny.
00:22:16That's three years in the penitentiary in this state.
00:22:19Oh, you...
00:22:21You're kidding me, aren't you?
00:22:22Kidding?
00:22:23Me?
00:22:24Not in your life.
00:22:27You signed a contract like this, didn't you?
00:22:30Yeah.
00:22:30Read what it says right there.
00:22:35Debt is payable.
00:22:36Within 24 hours, our charges will be bought.
00:22:41Look, I...
00:22:42I can't get a hold of a hundred bucks,
00:22:44something just like that, right away.
00:22:46Well, you'd better dig it up somewhere.
00:22:47Because if you don't pay up by noon tomorrow,
00:22:56a little man's gonna call on you with a big warrant.
00:23:07That's all, brother.
00:23:08Until noon tomorrow.
00:23:09Hey, Chuck.
00:23:19Yeah?
00:23:20What does a guy do when he...
00:23:22when he needs lots of dough?
00:23:25Me?
00:23:25I usually honk my watch.
00:23:31It's a great idea.
00:23:39Maybe I can get some dough on my jalopy.
00:23:41I wonder how much they'll give me for it.
00:23:51Ah, no dice.
00:23:52What good is 300 bucks?
00:23:53I still owe the finance company 350.
00:23:55350.
00:23:55350.
00:23:55350.
00:23:55350.
00:24:09By half past eight,
00:24:10I'd tried everything I could think of
00:24:12and I still hadn't raised a hundred dollars.
00:24:14I hadn't raised a buck and a quarter.
00:24:17So I threw in the towel
00:24:18and headed for Phil's place
00:24:19to knock off a couple of beers.
00:24:33The longer I sat on that silly stool,
00:24:35the more I felt like slugging somebody.
00:24:36I could have socked old man Mackey
00:24:38for being so tight.
00:24:40And the guy in the jewelry store
00:24:41for sending Moriarty after me.
00:24:43And the fellow standing next to me at the bar
00:24:45because he had money in his pocket
00:24:47and I didn't.
00:24:49I'm Mr. Alley, a building.
00:24:51360, right?
00:24:54Okay, I gotta get home
00:24:55before the old lady chaps my ears off.
00:24:58Haven't they got something smaller?
00:25:00This one's a 50.
00:25:02How's this one?
00:25:03It's another 50.
00:25:05Here, let me look.
00:25:07There's a five right there on top.
00:25:10Oh, this one.
00:25:11Yeah.
00:25:12Just keep it safe.
00:25:14I gotta get home
00:25:15before the old lady slaps me down.
00:25:20Who?
00:25:22Your wife.
00:25:23Oh, yeah.
00:25:24Yeah, the old lady.
00:25:25Good night, fellasie.
00:25:27So long, Shorty.
00:25:28How's the joker like that rate all that note?
00:25:30Shorty, he runs the bingo game.
00:25:32Do the suckers keep him happy?
00:25:34Another beer, Danny?
00:25:36Oh.
00:25:37It's all fun.
00:25:45Oh, tell me, how is this?
00:25:47Oh, Shorty, how's the joker?
00:25:48Okay.
00:25:49Okay.
00:25:55Oh, hello, nice boy.
00:25:56Let me tell you a fortune.
00:25:58Maybe you got big one.
00:25:59Oh, don't fall on your face, you jerk.
00:26:04And your fortune.
00:26:06Oh, there's been a mule, the name is hell.
00:26:10Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal.
00:26:14Oh, well, dear little girl.
00:26:18Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal.
00:26:27Oh, there's been a mule, the name is hell.
00:26:31Fifteen miles, the lyrics are now
00:26:35If they're a worker and it's their old pal
00:26:40Fifteen miles, the lyrics are now
00:26:46If they're a worker and it's their old pal
00:26:52Fifteen miles, the lyrics are now
00:26:57All right, reach, reach, come on, I'm not kidding you, let's go
00:27:03All right, come on, in the back, down on the floor, hurry up
00:27:07Help! Help!
00:27:11Help!
00:27:27Help! Help!
00:27:45Help!
00:27:49Help!
00:27:54Hiya, chum. Long time no see.
00:28:00Hiya, Millie.
00:28:00Oh, gee, Dad, it's wonderful to see you.
00:28:03Oh, what are we waiting for, huh?
00:28:05What's your hurry tonight?
00:28:06I never saw you run after anybody before.
00:28:09Oh, Millie, please.
00:28:11Say, take it easy. What's the rush?
00:28:13Nobody's chasing us.
00:28:16Yeah, that's right.
00:28:18Nobody's chasing us. We've got all night, haven't we?
00:28:20Sure we have.
00:28:21Maybe you've got all night.
00:28:23Me and Helen, we only got five minutes till the last show.
00:28:27Um, well, just in general.
00:28:29Millie, I almost forgot. I've already seen this picture.
00:28:32I saw it when it was downtown at the Palace.
00:28:34But you said...
00:28:35Oh, I got it.
00:28:38You wouldn't mind if I went alone, would you?
00:28:40No, I wouldn't, Millie.
00:28:41I didn't think so. Goodbye, then.
00:28:43Bye.
00:28:45Gee, Dad, this is like old times.
00:28:48Yeah.
00:28:49Let's go on the roller coaster and the chutes and the dipper.
00:28:51Let's go on everything.
00:28:54All right.
00:29:02My knees were really shaking back there.
00:29:03I thought the cops had bust out of that alley any minute.
00:29:06But now I'm in the clear.
00:29:08With heavy dough in my pocket,
00:29:09I can pay off that jewelry store and have enough left over
00:29:11to show Vera the biggest time she ever had.
00:29:15Vera.
00:29:16I've got a date with her tonight.
00:29:17I promised to meet her at Nick's place.
00:29:19Uh, what time is it?
00:29:29It's 25 to 10.
00:29:32Holy smoke.
00:29:32I promised to meet a guy a half hour ago.
00:29:34I'm kind of late.
00:29:35I'm sorry, kid.
00:29:36Can I...
00:29:37Can I walk you to the bus or something?
00:29:39Well, you don't have to, Dan.
00:29:41I can get home by myself.
00:29:42Well, uh, I'll give you a ring
00:29:44and we'll get together sometime soon.
00:29:46Uh, I'll see you later, sir.
00:29:55Gee, don't come back.
00:29:57I want my $50.
00:29:59Do me a favor, will you?
00:30:01Drop dead.
00:30:03Hey!
00:30:04Help him!
00:30:05Hey, wait, help me!
00:30:06Take your hands off what I want.
00:30:08Don't you hear me?
00:30:11I don't like to be pushed around.
00:30:14I just don't...
00:30:15I know that!
00:30:17You rat!
00:30:18I'm sorry!
00:30:18I'm sorry!
00:30:18I'm sorry!
00:30:24I'm sorry!
00:30:25I don't want you taking $50 from a guy like this ever.
00:30:39Let's get out of here.
00:30:55Wait, wait, two more of these.
00:31:23When are you going to tell me what we're celebrating?
00:31:28What?
00:31:29Do we celebrate and celebrate?
00:31:30Oh, God, to be.
00:31:31Last night you were spending dollar bills
00:31:33and tonight it's $50.
00:31:36I won it in a crap game.
00:31:39Sure it wasn't bingo.
00:31:41Two champagne cards.
00:31:45What do you mean bingo?
00:31:47Just thought you might have won it from Shorty McCabe.
00:31:49I'll give you that idea.
00:31:55Maybe it was Evelyn.
00:31:58Evelyn?
00:31:58Who's Evelyn?
00:32:01Bookkeeper in the movie house.
00:32:03She saw it, Shorty, losing it in the auto park.
00:32:07What do you know about this?
00:32:11She just came into Nick's place to phone the cops.
00:32:13Cops?
00:32:14What'd she say?
00:32:15Zero.
00:32:15Long time no see.
00:32:17How about a dance?
00:32:17No, thanks.
00:32:18Your boyfriend won't mind.
00:32:20No, thanks.
00:32:20Can I buy you both a drink?
00:32:22No.
00:32:23Isn't there anything I can do for you?
00:32:24Yeah, blow.
00:32:26You hurt her.
00:32:32What'd she say?
00:32:33Danny.
00:32:37She said she saw the guy who did it
00:32:38with a handkerchief around his face.
00:32:39He took Shorty for his bankroll.
00:32:47Didn't he?
00:32:50How do I know?
00:32:53Just thought you might have heard about it.
00:32:57Anyhow, if it was me,
00:32:59and I'd won any $50 bills,
00:33:01I wouldn't go spending them around the pier.
00:33:04Yeah?
00:33:04Why not?
00:33:07Because everyone around here knows
00:33:08that Shorty carries 50s.
00:33:14Look, I...
00:33:15I don't know any guy named Shorty,
00:33:17and I won this dough in a crab game, see?
00:33:19Oh, now, sure you did.
00:33:21Sure you did, Danny.
00:33:23Let's spend some of it, huh?
00:33:26That's...
00:33:27That's more like it.
00:33:28It's only...
00:33:31We won't spend the 50s.
00:33:34No, we.
00:33:38No.
00:33:41No, we won't spend the 50s.
00:33:5240, 60, 80, 100.
00:33:54There's 100 dollars.
00:33:55Here's your dough.
00:33:58There's your contract.
00:34:00So long, Brady.
00:34:01So long.
00:34:09Back A Motor.
00:34:11Who?
00:34:13This is him speaking.
00:34:17How'd I like to what?
00:34:20How'd you like to take a big jump off the pier?
00:34:22No, I don't like to take a jump off the pier.
00:34:24But you better come and see me, or else...
00:34:27Or else what?
00:34:29Or else something is going to happen.
00:34:31To you.
00:34:33To you, Danny boy.
00:34:34What's on your mind?
00:35:02And it better be good.
00:35:03Oh, it's very good.
00:35:04You know, last night a prize fighter, a big prize fighter, he left something here.
00:35:09I picked it up.
00:35:10Picked it up where you left it.
00:35:12It's got a knot in it.
00:35:13You know, like...
00:35:14Like you use for a mask or something.
00:35:16I don't know what you're talking about.
00:35:18No?
00:35:18No.
00:35:19But I'll take it just for luck.
00:35:20Sure, sure.
00:35:21You...
00:35:21You keep my handkerchief.
00:35:23I...
00:35:23I keep your handkerchief.
00:35:25Same knot.
00:35:26Only...
00:35:26Only your handkerchief got blood on it.
00:35:28So what?
00:35:31Did you ever hear anybody say money talks?
00:35:33Fifty dollar bills.
00:35:36They talk very loud.
00:35:38It's big bills.
00:35:39What do they say?
00:35:41It says, Shorty McCabe.
00:35:42Shorty McCabe.
00:35:44Yeah, that's what it says.
00:35:45Shorty McCabe.
00:35:46What's your angle?
00:35:47What are you trying to tell me?
00:35:48I'm telling you about a holdup.
00:35:51You see, Evelyn from the picture show, she...
00:35:54She saw the man get robbed.
00:35:56And she got a very good look at the guy who did it.
00:35:59She thinks she can identify him very easy.
00:36:02Nice girl.
00:36:03You want me to call you?
00:36:04Wait a minute.
00:36:04Put it down.
00:36:07You're so sure that I was mixed up in this thing, why don't you call the cops?
00:36:10Cops?
00:36:11Oh, no.
00:36:12I'm a businessman.
00:36:14You see, Danny Boyer, I...
00:36:15I think I can do business with you very nice.
00:36:18What kind of business do you think you could do with me?
00:36:21Automobile business.
00:36:22You get me a new car and...
00:36:24And I don't know nothing.
00:36:25Just nothing.
00:36:28A new car?
00:36:30I...
00:36:31I couldn't get a new car if I wanted to.
00:36:33Oh, you can get a new car.
00:36:34Same way you got the fifty dollar bill.
00:36:38Are you nuts?
00:36:39Nuts?
00:36:40Me?
00:36:42No, I...
00:36:42I don't think so.
00:36:45Davis?
00:36:48Yes.
00:36:51Here are the plates for the green sedan.
00:36:53See who is ready for delivery in the morning.
00:36:56Yes.
00:36:57Oh, but Davis.
00:36:58Don't let me catch you putting in ten gallons of gas this time.
00:37:02Six is plenty.
00:37:04Yes, sir.
00:37:05There goes the last new car we'll have this month.
00:37:11I've got to get it tonight or blow town tomorrow.
00:37:14Even if I blow town, they'll probably catch up with me.
00:37:17Oh, boy, am I in a mess.
00:37:20Hey, Dan.
00:37:21Dan, I, uh...
00:37:22I was just thinking if you're not going to take Helen out anymore,
00:37:26I thought maybe I'd give her a call sometime.
00:37:29Yeah, sure.
00:37:31Why don't you do that, Jack?
00:37:32Okay, thank you.
00:37:37Thank you for writing.
00:37:39I'm not going to get a call sometime.
00:37:41Well, there's a week.
00:37:41Come on.
00:37:42How many we go?
00:37:42I'm not going to check, sir.
00:37:43Okay, sir.
00:37:44Thank you for writing this week.
00:37:45Yes, sir.
00:37:47We're waiting for you.
00:37:47Get back in your corpse.
00:37:49Let me check.
00:37:50I'm continuingMBm.
00:37:51I'm continuing my life.
00:37:52Oh, my God.
00:38:23Hey, uh, hey, fella.
00:38:39This thing is stuck back here.
00:38:43I can't wait at that.
00:38:47It's the, uh, green sedan, the second in California Street.
00:38:50It's got license plates.
00:38:53Well, it's fine.
00:38:54Well, I promised you I know nothing.
00:38:56Absolutely nothing.
00:38:57Wait, what's the matter?
00:38:58I want my handkerchief.
00:39:00Yeah.
00:39:03You let go of this and I'll let go of this.
00:39:05You let go of it and I'll let go of it.
00:39:06Okay.
00:39:08What are you going to do with the car?
00:39:09That's none of your business anymore.
00:39:12Well, I'll tell you, I sold it to a gambler friend of mine.
00:39:16He's driving it home to Nevada.
00:39:17I'm going to say that he does.
00:39:19I don't want him around town here.
00:39:20It's not going to give energy.
00:39:21Don't worry.
00:39:22He's going home tonight.
00:39:23No slimmings.
00:39:24Okay.
00:39:25Okay.
00:39:26Brady.
00:39:41Brady.
00:39:42Yeah?
00:39:45Now I know who took that.
00:39:47I'm not interested in sending anybody to jail, Brady.
00:39:50Brady.
00:39:51Yeah?
00:39:53Now I know who took that green sedan.
00:39:58You...
00:40:00You do?
00:40:01Yeah.
00:40:02I could tell the police about it right this minute.
00:40:04But I don't know whether that would help me get back the car or not.
00:40:07You understand?
00:40:10No, I...
00:40:12I don't.
00:40:13Now, I'm not interested in sending anybody to jail, Brady.
00:40:16I'm interested in getting back that car.
00:40:21I don't know why you're telling me all this, Mr. Brady.
00:40:24Oh, yes, you do.
00:40:25An employee of this firm stole that sedan.
00:40:28And I happen to know who it is because he was seen.
00:40:33If you're trying to pin this thing on me, Mr. Brady...
00:40:36Now, don't try to run any bluffs, Brady.
00:40:37How many times do I have to tell you that?
00:40:39You don't have to tell me anything.
00:40:40All you have to do is to get that car down here,
00:40:42parked out in front before I get down tomorrow.
00:40:46What if I haven't got it?
00:40:48What if I don't know where it is?
00:40:49But you did have it, and you do know where it is.
00:40:51Well, I don't anymore!
00:40:56If you can't return the car, you'll have to pay for it.
00:40:59Three thousand dollars.
00:41:02Three thousand dollars?
00:41:03What?
00:41:04I'd only list for 1950.
00:41:06You don't think I'd sell to you at least?
00:41:08Three thousand dollars.
00:41:09Where would a guy like me get any dough like that?
00:41:11Almost everybody's got a family someplace...
00:41:13...where folks would go to a lot of trouble to keep a man out of jail.
00:41:16Not mine.
00:41:18Now, look.
00:41:19I'll give you 24 hours, Brady.
00:41:21I want the money or I want the automobile.
00:41:24Now, let me give you some warning.
00:41:26Don't you try to leave town.
00:41:42Three thousand dollars.
00:41:43There might as well have been three million.
00:41:45I tried to remember who could have seen me in the green sedan.
00:41:48Nobody'd known I had it except Nick.
00:41:51Nick!
00:41:52Maybe that was who told the old man.
00:41:54Nick hated me.
00:41:55He'd cut my throat for a nickel.
00:42:00Hey!
00:42:01What's the matter with you tonight?
00:42:03You look like you lost your last friend.
00:42:06How'd you like to go to Texas, honey?
00:42:07Right now, right away.
00:42:08Are you kidding?
00:42:10I'm on the level.
00:42:12Uh-huh.
00:42:14What's the matter with California?
00:42:16Where they're getting too warm?
00:42:22I'll tell you about it later.
00:42:26So, I'm in a worse jam than ever.
00:42:28My boss is gonna throw me in the brig if I don't get a hold of three thousand bucks or else.
00:42:33Where am I gonna get a hold of three thousand bucks?
00:42:37I know where there's three or four thousand dollars.
00:42:41Yeah.
00:42:42First National Bank.
00:42:43No, not in any bank.
00:42:45But we can get at it.
00:42:46We can get at it easy.
00:42:48All you have to do is to break a little catch lock on a rickety old door.
00:42:52You can pry it open with your fingernails.
00:42:54Not with my fingernails.
00:42:56I'm in too deep already.
00:42:57This is the end of the month.
00:43:11That's when Nick keeps the money overnight.
00:43:13Nick?
00:43:14You mean Nick at the Penny Arcade?
00:43:15Uh-huh.
00:43:17There'll be thousands of dollars there tonight.
00:43:19What would Nick be doing with that kind of town?
00:43:23He charges people for cashing checks.
00:43:26Today's a big payday.
00:43:28A lot of them will bring their checks in in the morning before the banks open.
00:43:31And he doesn't even have a safe.
00:43:34He hides it.
00:43:35I know where.
00:43:43It was Nick who got me into all this.
00:43:45Let Nick get you out.
00:43:47Then you won't have to go to Texas.
00:43:49You can stay here.
00:43:51With me.
00:43:53Wait a minute.
00:43:55What's the matter?
00:43:57Someone watching us from the house.
00:43:58No.
00:44:04It's only old Snoop.
00:44:06Who?
00:44:07The landlady.
00:44:09She's always looking for trouble.
00:44:10You know, I had a news program on the air the other night.
00:44:12And she busted in and tried to tell me I had a man in my room.
00:44:17She's still watching.
00:44:21Well, let's give her something to watch.
00:44:29Stay out here and look out for the watchman.
00:44:31If I see him coming, I'll honk the horn.
00:44:33Blow it three times so I'll know it's you.
00:44:35All right, darling.
00:44:37Good luck.
00:44:58Let's go.
00:44:59Let's go get it.
00:45:00Let's go.
00:45:02It's time to get it.
00:45:05Just go.
00:45:06Let's go.
00:45:07Let's go.
00:45:09Let's go.
00:45:24Let's go.
00:45:26Chapter 4.
00:48:27Get out of here, quick!
00:48:34Did you get the money?
00:48:40Yeah.
00:48:41I heard shooting.
00:48:42What happened?
00:48:42The night watchman saw me.
00:48:44Well, you took a big chance tonight and you got away with her.
00:48:47You ought to be tickled to death.
00:48:48Well, I'm not.
00:48:50I feel like I'm being shoved into a corner and if I don't get out soon, it'll be too late.
00:48:53Maybe it's too late already.
00:48:55But you can stop worrying.
00:48:56You're out right now.
00:48:57You've got the money in your pocket to pay your way out.
00:48:59Yeah.
00:49:00Yeah, that's right.
00:49:00I've got the money.
00:49:02That'll square everything on it.
00:49:03I wonder how much there is.
00:49:05I wonder how much there is.
00:49:06Feels like a lot.
00:49:08Let's take it up to my room and count it.
00:49:10All right.
00:49:11Pull down her shades.
00:49:30Five hundred in each of these packages.
00:49:42Two, three, four, five, six, seven.
00:49:47That's $3,500.
00:49:51Twenty, forty, sixty, eighty, ninety, hundred, hundred and ten.
00:49:57Thirty-six hundred and ten dollars.
00:50:01Yeah, that's a lot of dough.
00:50:02That's more money than I could make in a year working every day.
00:50:07What's the coppers?
00:50:12Just like I thought.
00:50:13What's the big idea?
00:50:14Who said you can come in?
00:50:15I have rules in this house.
00:50:17This is a clean, respectable place.
00:50:19Well, you've got no right in here.
00:50:20Now get out.
00:50:21I don't allow no men in the rooms.
00:50:23Not in my house.
00:50:24And I am not leaving until he goes.
00:50:30You're leaving right now.
00:50:32Maybe you'd rather I call the cops.
00:50:34Why, you old bad-lackers!
00:50:35Cut it out, will you?
00:50:36We don't want any trouble, especially now.
00:50:38Yeah, but...
00:50:38Maybe I ought to go.
00:50:41You think you can take care of everything all right?
00:50:44Oh.
00:50:45Yeah, sure, Danny.
00:50:46Don't worry.
00:50:48I can take care of everything.
00:50:51I'll call you in the morning.
00:50:54I don't want any of your kind around here.
00:51:00When your rent's up, you can move out.
00:51:03Scram!
00:51:06Hello.
00:51:07Is Vera Novak there?
00:51:08Hey, you're going to wait on a thing out today.
00:51:09Oh, this is her...
00:51:10Why don't you forget about it?
00:51:11She's just a minute, Danny.
00:51:12Will you do me a favor and shut up, please?
00:51:15Sorry!
00:51:15Oh, this is her day off.
00:51:16She wouldn't be at the restaurant.
00:51:18Look, when she comes in,
00:51:19would you tell her to call Dan Brady at Mackey Motor?
00:51:20It's very important.
00:51:21As soon as she comes in.
00:51:22All right.
00:51:28Well, Brady.
00:51:28Well?
00:51:29I didn't see that green sedan when I came down this morning.
00:51:32No, you didn't, did you?
00:51:34Does that mean you can't get it back?
00:51:36It means anything you want it to me.
00:51:37Well, then I assume you intend to pay for the car instead.
00:51:40Oh, do you?
00:51:41How long will it take you to get the money?
00:51:42I've got it already.
00:51:45Yeah?
00:51:46Yeah.
00:51:47Fine.
00:51:47Why don't you come right into the office?
00:51:49Well, I haven't got it on me.
00:51:50I have to pick it up tonight after work.
00:51:52I can bring it in the morning.
00:51:54Why wait till tomorrow?
00:51:55I'll come right back after dinner tonight.
00:51:57You can see me in the office then.
00:52:00Well, it might be...
00:52:02It might be ten o'clock or so.
00:52:03It's all right, Brady.
00:52:05It's perfectly all right.
00:52:07See you tonight.
00:52:08Back a morning.
00:52:14Hello, Vera.
00:52:15Where have you been?
00:52:18Did you take care of everything all right?
00:52:22Good.
00:52:23Well, that's swell, baby.
00:52:24Look, I'll be over and see you tonight
00:52:27as soon as I get off work, right after six o'clock.
00:52:29Goodbye.
00:52:38Is that you, Danny?
00:52:46Yeah.
00:52:47Come right in.
00:52:58Isn't it beautiful, Danny?
00:53:01Oh, Danny.
00:53:02Danny.
00:53:03I might never have had it if it hadn't been for you.
00:53:05Where'd you get the coat?
00:53:06I bought it.
00:53:07I thought it was what?
00:53:08With my share of the money.
00:53:12Here's your end.
00:53:14$1,800.
00:53:15You took half that door and bought a coat with it?
00:53:17Not just a coat, Danny.
00:53:18A me coat.
00:53:19You sold me out.
00:53:21Oh, now, just a minute.
00:53:22Who told you where the money was?
00:53:23Who told you how to get it?
00:53:25Isn't that worth half?
00:53:26I can't use half.
00:53:26I need $3,000.
00:53:27Oh, don't be a chump.
00:53:29Nobody expects to get everything you ask for.
00:53:31Make him an offer.
00:53:32That's what I did.
00:53:33What you did?
00:53:34Sure.
00:53:34This coat cost $2,000.
00:53:36I told the furrier $1,800 was all I had, and he could take it or leave it.
00:53:40He took it.
00:53:43What for this to be old man?
00:53:44Tell him it's all you could raise.
00:53:46I bet anything he takes it.
00:53:47Go.
00:53:56Goal.
00:53:56I'm glad you're
00:54:26doing the sensible thing.
00:54:34There's only 1,800 here.
00:54:36That's right.
00:54:37Where's the rest of it?
00:54:38I couldn't dig it up.
00:54:40Take it or leave it.
00:54:43I'll take it.
00:54:44Get me the police station.
00:54:57What's the idea?
00:54:58I told you I'd forget about the whole thing
00:55:00for $3,000, but not
00:55:02for 1,800.
00:55:04Now, if you've got the rest of it on you, you'd better pay
00:55:06me now before it's too late.
00:55:07Who are you?
00:55:08Get out of here!
00:55:38Get out of here!
00:56:08Get out of here!
00:56:38Get out of here!
00:56:43Dan!
00:56:44Hey, Danny boy!
00:56:45Hi, Chuck.
00:56:46Hi, Ellen.
00:56:47Hey, Danny, I missed your quitting time tonight.
00:56:49I wanted to say goodbye.
00:56:50Goodbye?
00:56:51Yeah, I quit today.
00:56:53I'm through with that screwball knife.
00:56:54I told you what he tried to pull on me, didn't I?
00:56:56No, no, you didn't.
00:56:57Well, you remember the night the sedan disappeared?
00:56:59Well, the next morning he called me in his office and tried to tell me I swiped it.
00:57:02He said what?
00:57:04Like I'm telling you, he said I stole the car.
00:57:06Gave me a lot of hooey about somebody seeing me drive away.
00:57:09Wait a minute. I'm all mixed up. Let me get this thing straight.
00:57:11He said that he saw you drive that car away.
00:57:13And that ain't all.
00:57:14Yesterday he called me in his office and he had some screw idea.
00:57:16I should get 3,000 bucks for my old man to pay for the sedan.
00:57:19Now, how nuts can a guy get?
00:57:20He didn't know anything at all.
00:57:21He was just fishing around, putting the pressure on everybody hoping something would turn up.
00:57:24Yeah, I should have let him have one talking to me like that.
00:57:27Some of these days that old man is going to get his neck in a sling.
00:57:31Neck in a sling?
00:57:33Yeah.
00:57:36Yeah, he had it coming though, didn't he?
00:57:38I was trying to outsmart everybody, but he got too smart.
00:57:41Yeah, he got so smart he got his neck in a sling.
00:57:48Daddy, what is it? What is the matter?
00:57:51I have a date here. I'm late already.
00:58:09Come in.
00:58:11Well, how'd it go?
00:58:12Did he take the money?
00:58:13Yeah, yeah, he took it.
00:58:14I told you he would.
00:58:15Pack your things, we gotta get out of here.
00:58:17What are you talking about?
00:58:18He tried to call the cops, I had to stop him.
00:58:20Stop him?
00:58:22How?
00:58:23Never mind, pack your things.
00:58:24Stop clowning, Danny, how?
00:58:25I'm not clowning, he tried to call the cops.
00:58:27I had to take the phone away from him.
00:58:28He pulled a gun on me, I strangled him.
00:58:32On the level?
00:58:33On the level.
00:58:34Look, they won't find me until in the morning.
00:58:35By that time we'll be halfway to Texas, baby.
00:58:37You'll be halfway to Texas, not me.
00:58:39But the cops will be after us.
00:58:41They won't be after me.
00:58:42I don't have to run away.
00:58:44Look, we're in this thing together, you told me to offer them the dough.
00:58:46I didn't tell you to kill him.
00:58:48And I wasn't there when it happened.
00:58:50So why should I stick my neck out now?
00:58:52What kind of a dame are you?
00:58:53The kind that watches out for herself.
00:58:55If I didn't, who would?
00:58:58Well, you don't care about anybody else, do you?
00:59:01Why, sure I do.
00:59:03Why, I wouldn't want to see anything happen to you, Danny.
00:59:07Certainly wouldn't want to see the cops catch you.
00:59:10Don't you think you'd better get started to Texas?
00:59:14I'll, uh...
00:59:16I'll kiss you goodbye if you want me to.
00:59:18I wouldn't dirty my lips.
00:59:27One more flight.
00:59:28Miss Novak?
00:59:43Some gentlemen to see you.
00:59:53Is there a Novak?
00:59:54Well, what if I am?
00:59:55I've got something for you.
00:59:57Yeah?
00:59:58What is it?
00:59:59A search warrant.
01:00:05See what you've got in her purse, Smitty.
01:00:06Right.
01:00:07You won't find him in there.
01:00:20Won't find who in there?
01:00:21You know who.
01:00:22Dan Brady.
01:00:23Oh, yeah.
01:00:24Dan Brady.
01:00:26Where will I find him?
01:00:27He's getting out of the state as fast as he can drive.
01:00:29Why aren't you getting out, too?
01:00:31I didn't have any part of it.
01:00:32I didn't even know him.
01:00:33Didn't know who?
01:00:34Say, are you trying to make me look like a fool?
01:00:39Mackie, of course.
01:00:41Mackie?
01:00:42Which Mackie is that?
01:00:43Oh, the one that ran the automobile agency.
01:00:45Ran?
01:00:46Well, he can't keep on running it now that he's dead, can he?
01:00:49Dead?
01:00:50Who's dead?
01:00:51Mackie, of course.
01:00:52Brady killed him.
01:00:53The girl didn't have any part of it.
01:00:55Where did it happen?
01:00:56You know where.
01:00:57At the automobile...
01:00:58Say.
01:01:01Are you trying to kid me?
01:01:03Sure.
01:01:05Maybe it's the other way around.
01:01:06Maybe you're trying to kid me.
01:01:07Why did you start spilling the minute I came in the door?
01:01:11Maybe it's because you wanted me to think your boyfriend had gone when he hadn't.
01:01:19How do I know he isn't still here?
01:01:21Why didn't you look under the couch?
01:01:25I don't suppose he'd be that near.
01:01:31Well, I didn't think he'd be that close.
01:01:38Smitty.
01:01:40Watch it.
01:01:41Ha, ha, ha.
01:01:50Ha, ha, ha.
01:01:51Where does a dame like you get a coat like this?
01:01:53I bought that coat with my own money.
01:01:54You take your dirty hands off it.
01:01:56I'll bet you did.
01:01:57I can prove it.
01:01:58I got a receipt.
01:02:00Here.
01:02:01Here.
01:02:04Alaska Furriers, 917 Main Street.
01:02:06Received of Vera Novak $1,800.
01:02:09Well, looks like Nick had the right hunch, Smith.
01:02:12Nick?
01:02:13What do you suppose brought us here?
01:02:15Last night somebody stole $3,600 of Nick's money
01:02:17and today you paid $1,800 for a fur coat.
01:02:20Looks like you and your boyfriend split Nick's bankroll right down the middle.
01:02:23I don't know what you're talking about.
01:02:24Give me back my coat.
01:02:25Don't worry about your coat, sister.
01:02:27We'll take it right with us.
01:02:28Bring her along, Smitty.
01:02:29We'll check on Mackie on the way down to the station.
01:02:34Served your right, your hussy.
01:02:35You're up dead.
01:02:39What are you doing here?
01:02:40I could see you were in trouble.
01:02:41So I got rid of Chuck and King Dan.
01:02:42Get yourself right back home.
01:02:43I gotta get out of here, quick.
01:02:44What is this?
01:02:45What is this?
01:02:57What is the hole up in the autoball?
01:02:59What do you know about that hole?
01:03:00I saw you.
01:03:01How was the water?
01:03:02How was the water?
01:03:03How was the water?
01:03:04How was the water?
01:03:05What is it?
01:03:06I saw you.
01:03:07We did get the water.
01:03:08I saw you.
01:03:09We got the water.
01:03:11Was it the hole up in the auto park?
01:03:13What do you know about that hole up?
01:03:14I saw you hiding in the alley that night.
01:03:16The night that Millie and I walked by.
01:03:18I couldn't see your features, but I knew that it was you.
01:03:21But then I thought maybe I was imagining things.
01:03:23You know how it is when you love someone.
01:03:24You think you'd see them 50 times a day.
01:03:27But a minute later you called my name and I turned around and there you were in the head of the alley.
01:03:32Then we heard about the hold up in the auto park and I saw the look on your face.
01:03:36Is that all?
01:03:37That's all.
01:03:38Well, why don't you get out and let me get started?
01:03:40I saw the police come out of the house with her.
01:03:42Are they after you two?
01:03:43What if they are?
01:03:43What businesses are of yours?
01:03:44But I can help you.
01:03:45I can tell them you were with me all evening and you'll have an alibi.
01:03:49I don't get it.
01:03:49Why do you want to help me?
01:03:50When things were going my way, all I ever gave you was a runaround.
01:03:52Now that I'm in a jam, why don't you get smart and stay away from me?
01:03:56I've been away from you too long and it isn't any good.
01:03:59Don't you think I know I'm dumb to throw myself at a guy that doesn't want me?
01:04:02Don't you think I know I'm a fool to stay on the street corner for an hour just waiting for you to come out of a door?
01:04:07I know all that, but I can't help it.
01:04:09I fell in love with you the first time I saw you, Ted.
01:04:13I'll drive you home.
01:04:18It's less than a week since Helen waited for me outside the garage.
01:04:21Have you been dancing lately?
01:04:22She said, no, I had to do was say, well, I did.
01:04:24Let's go out tonight.
01:04:26If I'd have said that, I wouldn't be running away from the cops tonight.
01:04:29With a murder hanging over my head.
01:04:30No, Dad, no.
01:04:42Hey, buddy, pull over to the curb.
01:04:44Let's take a look at your driver's license.
01:05:03Brady, that's your name?
01:05:11Yes, sir.
01:05:12He went through a boulevard stop back there.
01:05:16Will you sign this?
01:05:19Yes.
01:05:19Take it easy.
01:05:28Yeah.
01:05:32I'm telling you, you kept me from making an awful mistake.
01:05:34Well, if you'll only take me with you, I can help you.
01:05:36I know I can.
01:05:36Let me lay it on the line.
01:05:39I'm going to have to keep running.
01:05:40I'm going to have to keep running all my life,
01:05:41because when they catch up with me, they're going to hang me.
01:05:44For murder, I...
01:05:46I killed a man tonight.
01:05:49Start the car, then tell me how it happened.
01:05:55Telling her about it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.
01:05:58That was Helen who came up with the idea of Mexico.
01:06:01We decided to head for an inland town like Hermosillo,
01:06:04where not many tourists come.
01:06:05A man could be safe for 50 years in a place like that.
01:06:10What's that?
01:06:12That's goodbye to Mexico.
01:06:25Oh, it's the main bearing.
01:06:27It'll take a couple of days to fix.
01:06:29Well, then we'll have to hitchhike.
01:06:30And get there by morning, we'd never make it.
01:06:31We have to make it.
01:06:35Oh, Helen, I've had the right girl all the time
01:06:37who was too dumb to know about it.
01:06:38If we ever get out of this thing...
01:06:40We're going to get out of it.
01:06:41Yeah, but how?
01:06:43I've got an idea.
01:06:45This is the baby that's going to get us there.
01:06:47Then what are you going to do with that?
01:06:48Get us a lift, honey.
01:06:49A lift straight through to Mexico.
01:06:50Come on.
01:06:51Careful.
01:06:51Get in quick.
01:07:10Don't try any funny stuff.
01:07:11I don't want to hurt you.
01:07:12All right.
01:07:13When the signal changes get going,
01:07:14turn south on the highway,
01:07:15keep it under 50,
01:07:16and don't go through any red lights.
01:07:16You understand me?
01:07:35May I ask where we're going?
01:07:37Just keep driving.
01:07:38You'll find out.
01:07:38I suppose you know what you're getting into.
01:07:45This isn't a car theft.
01:07:47It's kidnapping.
01:07:48No one asked you.
01:07:48I don't want your advice.
01:07:49You hear me?
01:07:50Well, I happen to be a lawyer.
01:07:53Maybe...
01:07:53Maybe you can keep your mouth shut, too.
01:07:54No, Dad.
01:07:55Let him talk.
01:07:56He might be able to help us.
01:07:57She's right.
01:07:58Whatever it is you're running away from,
01:08:00this is worse.
01:08:02Kidnapping is a capital offense.
01:08:04They can hang you for it.
01:08:07What's the difference?
01:08:10They're going to hang me anyway.
01:08:13I just killed a man.
01:08:18How about the girl?
01:08:19You leave her out of it.
01:08:20She had nothing to do with it.
01:08:20You understand me?
01:08:22I believe that.
01:08:24But with the police.
01:08:26Look, son.
01:08:26I can see this girl means something to you.
01:08:30Why don't you tell me what happened?
01:08:32For her sake.
01:08:33She'll need a lawyer sooner or later.
01:08:39Maybe you're right.
01:08:42If you're sure you could keep her in the clear.
01:08:45If she's innocent,
01:08:46you tell me the whole story.
01:08:49And it's the truth?
01:08:51Truth?
01:08:52I don't know where to begin.
01:08:56Start.
01:08:56At the beginning.
01:09:00The guy was a lawyer.
01:09:02And maybe he could help Helen.
01:09:03So I told him the whole story.
01:09:05I told him about sticking up Shorty in the auto park
01:09:07and about breaking into the Penny Arcade
01:09:08in the middle of the night.
01:09:09I told him about beer and Nick and old man Mackey.
01:09:12I told him everything that had happened.
01:09:14From the very beginning to the end.
01:09:18I see.
01:09:20Now the first thing you want to know
01:09:21is where the girl stands.
01:09:23That's right.
01:09:25She's in the clear.
01:09:26They can't touch her.
01:09:28Oh, but how about Dan?
01:09:29He said maybe it wouldn't be murder.
01:09:30It might be manslaughter.
01:09:32No, it's murder, all right.
01:09:33I might be able to get him off with second degree.
01:09:38They'd have a hard time proving premeditation.
01:09:40Second degree?
01:09:41That'd mean life, wouldn't it?
01:09:43It could.
01:09:45I'd rather they hung me.
01:09:47There's one discrepancy in your story.
01:09:50It's worth checking up on
01:09:51because if we get the right answer,
01:09:53murder's out.
01:09:54Manslaughter, too.
01:09:56What do you mean?
01:09:57How do you know he's dead?
01:10:00Well, he's dead, that's all.
01:10:02His head fell over on the desk like he was dead.
01:10:05It would do that if he were unconscious.
01:10:08Did you feel his pulse?
01:10:09Or listen for a heartbeat?
01:10:11No, I didn't.
01:10:13Men don't die easily.
01:10:15They take a lot of killing.
01:10:18I can imagine Mackey sitting in a police station right now
01:10:21telling the desk man what a narrow escape he had.
01:10:26He only was alive.
01:10:27Helen, if he only was alive,
01:10:28I'd give myself up to the first cop that came along.
01:10:32He's an all-night restaurant.
01:10:34Why don't I use their phone to find out how Mackey is?
01:10:37Why don't you keep on driving, too?
01:10:38I'll tell you how Mackey is.
01:10:39He's dead, that's what, he's dead.
01:10:41Oh, but Dan, maybe he isn't.
01:10:42No, he is, I know he is.
01:10:43Listen, you, I didn't want to kill anybody.
01:10:45I don't want to kill you now,
01:10:46but if you try any more funny stuff,
01:10:48I'll blow a hole right through you.
01:10:52What day is this, Helen?
01:10:53It's Saturday.
01:10:55No, it isn't.
01:10:55It's Sunday morning.
01:10:57We still have a couple of hours before daylight.
01:11:00We can still make it.
01:11:02Turn this car around.
01:11:03Where are we going now?
01:11:16Remember Buzz Larson?
01:11:17Yeah.
01:11:17He's taking a fishing party way down past San Diego this morning.
01:11:19If we can get to the pier in time, I can go with him.
01:11:21Mexico?
01:11:22Way past the Mexican border.
01:11:23Step on it, will you?
01:11:24I hope the boat is still here.
01:11:39Yeah.
01:11:40Yeah, there it is.
01:11:41Down there.
01:11:42We made it.
01:11:49We'd better hurry.
01:11:50I'd better hurry, not you.
01:11:51Well, I'm going with you, Dan.
01:11:52Now, there's no harbor below San Diego.
01:11:54I'll have to swim in from the sea.
01:11:55I'm going with you, Dan.
01:11:56You've taken too many chances already.
01:11:57I've got to go on by myself from here on.
01:11:59I'll send for you as soon as I get a job.
01:12:00You know that, don't you, baby?
01:12:01Yes, but...
01:12:02Oh, Dan, don't go.
01:12:03I'm so afraid.
01:12:04There's nothing to be afraid of.
01:12:07Hey, wait a minute.
01:12:08Maybe there is.
01:12:09How are we going to keep this guy from going to the cops
01:12:10until after the boat pulls out of the harbor?
01:12:11Don't keep him away.
01:12:12Give me the gun.
01:12:14I wouldn't do that if I were you.
01:12:15Why not?
01:12:16I told you the girl was in the clear.
01:12:18She won't be if she takes that gun.
01:12:20After that, she'll be an accessory.
01:12:22Oh, don't listen to him, Dan.
01:12:23You've got to get away from here.
01:12:23No, he's right.
01:12:24You've got to be kept out of this.
01:12:25That's all that's important now.
01:12:26Would you take my word for something?
01:12:28I might.
01:12:29As a citizen, I have to notify the police.
01:12:31But as a friend, I don't have to hurry.
01:12:36Thanks.
01:12:42Would you do me another favor?
01:12:43If I can.
01:12:44Don't wait until the boat pulls out of the harbor.
01:12:46Leave now.
01:12:47I'll get her out of here right away.
01:12:48Thanks.
01:12:50I'm afraid he's been here since noon Monday.
01:13:13No, I haven't.
01:13:14And you haven't heard from him either?
01:13:15No.
01:13:17Wait a minute.
01:13:17I just remembered.
01:13:18He phoned me Monday afternoon.
01:13:20For any particular reason?
01:13:21Yeah.
01:13:22I owed him 20 bucks.
01:13:23He said he needed it.
01:13:25There's a news broadcast at 6 o'clock.
01:13:27I want to hear before I talk to the authorities.
01:13:29Regarding every airport, every bus depot and every railroad station in a determined effort to prevent
01:13:33the killer's escape.
01:13:34At 4 o'clock this morning, officers threw roadblocks across both state highways and are now popping
01:13:40all outbound cars.
01:13:41But at last reports, McDonald was still at large.
01:13:45McDonald.
01:13:45Meanwhile, police officers Truxton and Chandler are dead.
01:13:48And Deputy Sheriff Alan P. Janus was taken to the emergency hospital with two bullets in
01:13:52his bag.
01:13:53I'll get it a little louder.
01:13:55Closer to home, B2T authorities are seeking garage mechanic Daniel Brady, 26, an employee
01:14:00of the Mackey Motor Company.
01:14:02Late yesterday evening, watchman Michael J. O'Brien, while making his regular nightly
01:14:05rounds, discovered the unconscious body of Oren Mackey, president of the automobile agency,
01:14:10lying in his office.
01:14:11Mackey regained consciousness at St. Mark's Hospital shortly after midnight and named Brady
01:14:15as his assailant.
01:14:16I don't think he's alive.
01:14:18Tommy, you want to watch yourself before you run into that kid, okay?
01:14:23What's doing this about him?
01:14:24I got Mackey's gun.
01:14:41Shooter!
01:14:41Stop!
01:14:46Hey, Brady!
01:14:48Watch yourself.
01:14:51Come on!
01:14:52What's the matter?
01:14:53Wait a minute!
01:14:54Wait a minute!
01:14:54What's the matter?
01:15:03What's the matter?
01:15:03What's the matter?
01:15:04What's the matter?
01:15:05What's the matter?
01:15:05What's the matter?
01:15:06What's the matter?
01:15:07What's the matter?
01:15:07What's the matter?
01:15:08What's the matter?
01:15:09What's the matter?
01:15:09What's the matter?
01:15:10What's the matter?
01:15:11What's the matter?
01:15:12What's the matter?
01:15:13What's the matter?
01:15:13What's the matter?
01:15:14What's the matter?
01:15:15What's the matter?
01:15:16What's the matter?
01:15:17What's the matter?
01:15:18What's the matter?
01:15:19What's the matter?
01:15:20What's the matter?
01:15:21What's the matter?
01:15:22What's the matter?
01:15:23Watch yourself, he's shooting.
01:15:37I'll go after him and see him stop.
01:15:53I heard shooting!
01:16:19Did you see him?
01:16:20No, he didn't come through here.
01:16:23Look, what's that?
01:16:31I'm coming, Dad!
01:16:32It's all right, you didn't kill him, Dad!
01:16:36Hey, what's going on?
01:16:37What happened?
01:16:38Cops, they shot a cop.
01:16:39I heard him on the radio.
01:16:40I heard about who?
01:16:41Who?
01:16:41All the guys that killed a couple of cops.
01:16:43It is the gun.
01:16:45What's so on, then?
01:16:46I don't know, they shot somebody.
01:16:47Yeah, here he is.
01:16:48Here's everything, it's the gun.
01:16:50I'm out.
01:16:51Great, I'll stand back, folks.
01:16:52Jim Rohn.
01:16:53There's the guy that got shot right there.
01:16:55Here, right to her.
01:16:58Now, where'd you say your automobile was?
01:16:59On the pier, right over there.
01:17:01Fine, I'll put him in the car and I'll drive him straight to the hospital.
01:17:03That's all right with you?
01:17:04Certainly.
01:17:04You'll save much time instead of waiting for the ambulance.
01:17:07I wouldn't have shot you, only I thought you had a gun.
01:17:09What'd you do with it?
01:17:10I dropped it.
01:17:10What do you think they're going to give me?
01:17:13Have you ever been in trouble before?
01:17:14No, no, I've never.
01:17:16Well, I think we can rule out the watch and the $20 bill.
01:17:19They'll probably charge you with the holdup, stealing the car, and breaking you to the penny arcade.
01:17:24That could add up to anything from one to ten years.
01:17:28But since you're a first offender, my guess is that it'll be nearer one than ten.
01:17:32Whatever it is, I'll take it.
01:17:34Whenever it is, I'll be waiting for you, Dan.
01:17:38If you want me to.
01:17:39You're a great gal, Helen.
01:17:41I love you, Dan.
01:17:43That goes both ways.
01:17:44That goes both ways.
01:18:04That goes both ways.
01:18:34That goes both ways.
