00:02:53THE END
00:02:54THE END
00:02:55Too early to serve anything yet, miss.
00:02:57That's all right.
00:02:58Won't be long. Ten minutes.
00:03:06Morning.
00:03:10Morning.
00:03:11Bar?
00:03:12In the bar.
00:03:13Yes.
00:03:23Mrs. Harper?
00:03:24Yes.
00:03:25Ted Darby.
00:03:26Pete?
00:03:27Ted Miller.
00:03:28So you're B's mother?
00:03:30Yes, I am, Mr. Darby, and I...
00:03:31I never realized she had such a young mother.
00:03:34It's quite a resemblance.
00:03:38I'm sorry, I can't offer you a drink yet.
00:03:40I didn't come to make a social call, Mr. Darby.
00:03:42What I have to say won't take a minute.
00:03:43As you please.
00:03:44I don't want you to see my daughter again.
00:03:46Isn't that something for B to decide?
00:03:48I don't think so.
00:03:49She's only a child.
00:03:50Only 17.
00:03:5118, that's smart.
00:03:52Only 17, Mr. Darby.
00:03:53And it's plain to see she's not old enough to know what's good for her.
00:03:56Mrs. Harper, there's no harm.
00:03:58B likes to get around, meet interesting people.
00:04:00I can do that for her.
00:04:01She can get along very nicely without you.
00:04:03You're not the kind of person I want B to see.
00:04:05I hope you're not judging by my temporary surroundings, Mrs. Harper.
00:04:08My apartment...
00:04:09I know the kind of man you are, Mr. Darby.
00:04:10I've gone to the trouble to find out.
00:04:13How does B feel about all this?
00:04:15I haven't discussed it with her and I don't intend to because you're going to stop seeing her.
00:04:18I am?
00:04:19Yes, and there's nothing I won't do to stop it.
00:04:23Maybe we should talk this over.
00:04:25There's nothing to talk over.
00:04:26Yes, there is.
00:04:27You've been pretty frank and I'm going to be the same.
00:04:29I didn't know how strongly you felt about my seeing B and now that I do I want to cooperate.
00:04:35I want to help you.
00:04:36I think with a little common sense we can get this all straightened out.
00:04:39Straightened out?
00:04:40Just how important is it to you that I don't see her anymore?
00:04:43It's very important.
00:04:44I mean as far as money is concerned.
00:04:47Otherwise I couldn't possibly promise not to see her again, Mrs. Harper.
00:04:51You won't have to, Mr. Darby.
00:04:52You've made it very simple for me.
00:04:54I can discuss it with her now and I'll have nothing to worry about when she hears how deeply you feel about her.
00:04:58Goodbye, Mr. Darby.
00:05:00Operator, get me Balboa.
00:05:22Harbour 2626.
00:05:24Miss Beatrice Harbour, please.
00:05:30Hey, Mother, how come you went up to Los Angeles this morning and didn't tell any of us?
00:05:38I had some things to attend to.
00:05:40I'm going to put on a new bumper, Mother.
00:05:42I think you're too late and put on your shirt, David.
00:05:44Okay.
00:05:50Hello, Father.
00:05:52How's everything?
00:05:53Why didn't you tell us you were going to L.A. this morning?
00:05:56I, uh...
00:05:58I wanted to get to the store before the crowd.
00:06:00Sybil, will you turn that vacuum cleaner off?
00:06:02I can't hear the race results.
00:06:03I don't know why you want to hear it, Mr. Harper.
00:06:05Hello, Mrs. Harper.
00:06:06Come on, Sybil.
00:06:07You never win anyhow.
00:06:08Sybil, where's Bea?
00:06:09She hasn't talked to anyone all afternoon.
00:06:11She's in your room, Mrs. Harper.
00:06:13You're in your shower again.
00:06:18Is that you, Mother?
00:06:19Yes, Bea?
00:06:20When you're through your shower, I'd like to talk to you.
00:06:24I know.
00:06:26What do you mean, you know?
00:06:28Mother, how could you humiliate me so terribly by going to see Ted?
00:06:32Well, it was a little humiliating for me, too.
00:06:34I'm not used to dealing with people of his kind.
00:06:36Do you know what kind of a man he is?
00:06:38Yes, I know.
00:06:39But you're going to tell me that he's a low, vile character.
00:06:42He is.
00:06:43That he lives in a horrible, dirty hotel.
00:06:45When Ted called, he told me that's about what you'd say.
00:06:47No, wait a minute.
00:06:49I said, wait, Bea.
00:06:50And did your friend, Mr. Darby, also tell you
00:06:52he was perfectly willing not to see you again,
00:06:54providing I made it worth his while financially?
00:06:56I don't believe it.
00:06:58You don't think I'd make up a thing like that, do you?
00:07:01Ted said you made such a scene.
00:07:02He said you got all upset and excited.
00:07:05You might have misunderstood.
00:07:06I didn't misunderstand anything.
00:07:08He made his intentions perfectly clear.
00:07:10Mother, you think you understand people.
00:07:13But you really are terribly old-fashioned.
00:07:15You couldn't possibly understand a man like Ted.
00:07:18I wouldn't want to.
00:07:19Sybil, did you do my blouse yet?
00:07:21I haven't been able to get to it yet, Bea.
00:07:23Well, I asked you a whole hour ago.
00:07:25Bea, you'll not talk like that to Sybil.
00:07:29Sybil, you don't have to do the downstairs today.
00:07:33Bea, let's not lose our tempers.
00:07:35Let's be reasonable.
00:07:36That man is the most important.
00:07:37Mother, I don't care to discuss it anymore.
00:07:39Well, it's not a question of whether you care to discuss it.
00:07:41You're not to see that man again.
00:07:43You must give me your promise you won't see him again.
00:07:47I can't promise that, Mother.
00:07:48No?
00:07:49Then you're not going back to Los Angeles.
00:07:51I'll take you out of art school.
00:07:53You wouldn't do such a thing.
00:07:55I just did.
00:07:58Well, that won't keep us apart.
00:08:00We'll see each other somehow.
00:08:02Oh, Bea, stop acting.
00:08:04You're not to see him again.
00:08:05That's fine.
00:08:06Now, get dressed and pick up your clothes.
00:08:08Mother, can't you trust me?
00:08:12I'm not having a nasty love affair with him, if that's what you think.
00:08:16Bea, I've been stupid and indulgent.
00:08:18Your father wanted you to go to college,
00:08:19and I took your side and persuaded him to let you go to art school,
00:08:22which he felt was wrong
00:08:23because of the freedom and the people you'd be exposed to.
00:08:25I mistakenly thought you were right-thinking enough
00:08:27to be discriminating about the friends you chose.
00:08:29Well, he was right and I was wrong.
00:08:31You never would have met Darby if we'd listened to him.
00:08:33Now, I know it's difficult for you to understand
00:08:36because you're still a child.
00:08:38I probably would have felt the same way at your age.
00:08:40The difference is that when you're 17 today,
00:08:43you know what the score is.
00:08:45You're not a child anymore.
00:08:47Bea, I'm not going to sit here all day
00:08:48and go over the same thing again and again.
00:08:50You're not going to do the...
00:08:51You're not going to see the...
00:08:53No, you're not going to see the...
00:08:55That's your fault.
00:08:57How's it going with you, son?
00:09:00What?
00:09:01You like Tom.
00:09:02Wonderful.
00:09:03Dad, can I talk to him, Grandpa?
00:09:05Wait a minute, Tom. Here's David.
00:09:07Hi, Dad.
00:09:09Swell.
00:09:10Huh?
00:09:11You ought to see it.
00:09:12It's almost a car now.
00:09:13Please talk to him, David.
00:09:14Hold it.
00:09:15He's in Philadelphia.
00:09:16He's telling me all about his car.
00:09:17Shh.
00:09:18Tom, how are you, dear?
00:09:21I'm fine.
00:09:23We're all fine.
00:09:25There's just one little problem.
00:09:27Bea wants a blue Christmas tree for Christmas
00:09:29and the rest of us are holding out for a green one.
00:09:32How do you vote?
00:09:34What?
00:09:35You won't be here?
00:09:36Berlin?
00:09:37Oh, Tom, you can't be away for Christmas.
00:09:40Oh, I don't care, Tom.
00:09:42They've done without that bridge over there for four years.
00:09:44I should think they could do without it for another two weeks.
00:09:47Oh, I'm sorry.
00:09:48I know it's what we've wanted.
00:09:49It's wonderful, Tom.
00:09:50Wonderful.
00:09:51It has been ordered to Berlin.
00:09:52Yes, she's here.
00:09:53Wait a minute.
00:09:54Here, dear.
00:09:55David just told me.
00:09:57Oh, we're gonna miss you.
00:09:59Yes, I'm fine.
00:10:01Art school?
00:10:03Oh, I'm getting along beautifully.
00:10:07Owen.
00:10:08Oh, I haven't seen it.
00:10:09Well, I haven't seen anyone lately.
00:10:10I've been too busy.
00:10:12Mother wants to talk to you.
00:10:14Hurry home.
00:10:16Tom?
00:10:18What?
00:10:20I think she's taking art school a little too seriously.
00:10:25I'll tell her, dear.
00:10:26And don't worry about anything, darling.
00:10:28We'll all be fine.
00:10:29Goodness, Tom, this isn't anything.
00:10:31You were away three years during the war.
00:10:33Oh, you know I do, Tom.
00:10:36Bye, darling.
00:10:37I'll write tonight.
00:10:42Yes?
00:10:43It's me, Mother.
00:10:45Just a second.
00:10:50Now you can come in.
00:11:05I wanted to say goodnight.
00:11:06Why aren't you wearing a slippers?
00:11:08I'm hardening my feet for track.
00:11:10Night, dear.
00:11:11I'd like to see you once, fully dressed.
00:11:13Writing to Dad so soon?
00:11:15Boy, a grown-up sure can be Goonie.
00:11:17You talked to him just this afternoon.
00:11:19I don't get it.
00:11:20Because we're Goonie.
00:11:21Night, dear.
00:11:22Night.
00:11:34David, you smell like a garage.
00:11:35I take a shower every morning.
00:11:37Yes, but I have to sleep with you every night.
00:11:49What's the babies?
00:11:50Uh-huh.
00:11:51Let's do it.
00:11:55Sadly, we might not have to be stained for pictures.
00:11:56How can we do?
00:11:57Yes, ma'am.
00:11:58Yes, thanks.
00:12:00You be knowing the hair?
00:12:01I don't know what is your name.
00:12:02Because it's fine thanks to you...
00:12:03The size of the pacing...
00:12:04...what extent?
00:12:06I'll give you a hose.
00:12:07I'messa dosing when you move the street.
00:12:08I've been 미� steroids in there.

00:15:33All he did for was the money!
00:15:34I hate him, my...
00:15:35By the way, my dear, where is he now?
00:15:37I don't know.
00:15:38I loved you.
00:15:39You go on upstairs.
00:15:40I'll be up in a minute.
00:16:00Can I help you, Mrs. Harper?
00:16:07No. No, thanks, sir.
00:16:30No, no, no, no.
00:16:54Was he out there?
00:16:55No, he's gone.
00:16:58Oh, Mother, I wish I'd never gone.
00:17:00I wish I'd never...
00:17:01Oh, don't talk about it anymore, dear. It's over. Come on to bed.
00:17:04Come on, dear.
00:17:08It was so awful.
00:17:10I just couldn't never go through a thing like that again.
00:17:13You won't have to, dear. I promise you.
00:17:24I'll get you a hot water bottle.
00:17:26Well, you're sick.
00:17:33What's all the running up and down stairs, Lucia?
00:17:35Nothing, Father. Bea isn't feeling well.
00:17:37I'm a growing boy. I need my rest.
00:17:39Go back to bed, David. I said go back to bed.
00:17:52Mother, can I have a piece of chocolate cake?
00:17:54Cake. Good night, David.
00:18:03Good morning, Mrs. Harper.
00:18:06Good morning, Sybil.
00:18:07You were up awful early this morning.
00:18:09I couldn't sleep.
00:18:10Can I fix you some breakfast?
00:18:12No, thanks, Sybil. You go back to bed. I'm going for a walk.
00:18:15Yes, Sybil.
00:18:16Yes, Sybil.
00:18:45Good night.
00:18:46Oh, dear.
00:18:47And I'm going to...
00:18:48Okay, thanks.
00:18:51I'm going to sleep.
00:18:52Gosh, Olucia...
00:18:54Things never go up until the morning had a problem.
00:18:55He's counting on me.
00:18:57We're going to sleep.
00:18:58We're going to sleep.
00:19:00What can I do?
00:19:01If I am the middle of the night,
00:19:02I'll stop.
00:19:04I was going to sleep.
00:19:06I'm going to sleep.
00:25:59Well, I'm not going toPeople
00:26:01about it.
00:26:03You'll come back to science,
00:26:05thanks you.
00:26:06Then you're dead in Balboa.
00:26:07Well, what do you know?
00:26:08A murder?
00:26:09Right over on the other side of the highway
00:26:11Then a murder in the Balboa.
00:26:13Next.
00:26:14What? Oh, it's going to Berlin. How much will it be?
00:26:16I'll have to weigh it.
00:26:17Does this post office furnish scotch tape?
00:26:20Do they... do they say who did it?
00:26:22No, but they've got some ideas. They know all about that Derby.
00:26:25Hey, here's your change.
00:26:27Give me... give me one, please, Bob.
00:26:28Here you are, Mrs. Harper.
00:26:30Sure is a nice tree you got there.
00:26:31Guess you're all set for Christmas now.
00:26:33What'd you say?
00:26:34I said, guess you're all set for Christmas.
00:26:36Yes.
00:26:44The tree is on the car.
00:27:02Would you ask David or Mr. Harper to bring it in, please?
00:27:05Yes, ma'am. There's a gentleman been waiting.
00:27:08Who?
00:27:09A Mr. Donnelly.
00:27:11Donnelly?
00:27:13Yes?
00:27:26I'm waiting for Mrs. Harper.
00:27:29I'm Mrs. Harper.
00:27:36My name is Donnelly, Martin Donnelly.
00:27:38I'd like a few words with you.
00:27:40Yes, what about?
00:27:42You'll be wanting these, Mrs. Harper.
00:27:55What are they?
00:27:57Writings.
00:27:58I don't know what you're talking about.
00:27:59These are letters which your daughter wrote to the late Ted Derby.
00:28:11The price is $5,000, cash.
00:28:12Ted, darling.
00:28:13I just wasn't alive until I met you.
00:28:14But you came like a fresh wind blowing through my stuffy room.
00:28:24I don't know, Ted, if I can make up my mind to do what you asked yesterday.
00:28:37I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to leave, Mr. Donnelly.
00:28:39Would you like me to call the police?
00:28:41I wouldn't do that if I were you, Mrs. Harper.
00:28:44But just the fact that you did ask and that you thought I had the courage to take such a chance makes me feel proud.
00:28:54Ted, I'm thinking about it.
00:28:56I'm not sentimental, you know that, but just the same it is hard to break entirely with the past.
00:29:01Hi, Mother.
00:29:02David.
00:29:03I got trunks on.
00:29:04Hi.
00:29:05This is my son, David, Mr. Donnelly.
00:29:06Well.
00:29:07Hi.
00:29:08I learned a new song today.
00:29:09Want me to play it?
00:29:10Some other time, David.
00:29:11I'm busy.
00:29:12All right.
00:29:13Mother has no appreciation for music.
00:29:16Hey, Mother, you read about the murder?
00:29:18Yes, David.
00:29:19Oh, glamour girl.
00:29:20At last, there's some excitement for you.
00:29:21A guy got bumped off right near here.
00:29:22Excuse me a minute.
00:29:23Who?
00:29:24Who was it?
00:29:25XR dealer.
00:29:26Get therapy.
00:29:27Give me that.
00:29:28What are you doing?
00:29:29Cut it out.
00:29:30Let me help.
00:29:31Hey, no.
00:29:32Please, stop it.
00:29:33Now she'll call all her arty friends in L.A. and tell them it happened in her own backyard.
00:29:52If we're not to be interrupted again, I'll continue.
00:29:54You don't have to continue.
00:29:56Because those letters don't mean a thing.
00:29:59She's only a child.
00:30:00They don't mean anything.
00:30:01Mrs. Happy, you don't seem to understand.
00:30:04The man these letters were written to has been murdered.
00:30:07The police would be greatly interested.
00:30:09Ted Deary stang frantic.
00:30:11The other day, I started to talk to Mother about you.
00:30:14And it was just awful.
00:30:15She wouldn't understand.
00:30:17How did you get these?
00:30:19Abby wanted to borrow some money from us.
00:30:22I didn't think the letters were worth anything.
00:30:25But there was not much else the man had to offer us.
00:30:27We took them off him until he was ready to pay us back.
00:30:29Sort of collateral, you know?
00:30:31Well, you might say it was a bit of luck for us these getting murdered like that.
00:30:35Because now the letters will realize much more than we lent them.
00:30:38As Mr. Nagel would say, we want to liquidate our stock where the market is high.
00:30:43Mr. Nagel's my partner.
00:30:45He's a good businessman.
00:30:46Lucia.
00:30:47Where do you want me to put it?
00:30:49Oh.
00:30:50This is Mr. Donnelly.
00:30:52He's from Tom's office.
00:30:54Oh, you know my son.
00:30:56Isn't it great about us going to Berlin?
00:30:58How do you do?
00:30:59I'm terribly sorry you can't stay for dinner.
00:31:02Oh, you're not staying for dinner?
00:31:04No.
00:31:05Oh, it's a big mistake.
00:31:07Sybil's making beef and kidney pie.
00:31:09But father...
00:31:10You're very kind.
00:31:11But I have someone waiting.
00:31:13Are you from Ireland, Mr. Donnelly?
00:31:15I was born there.
00:31:16Then we have something in common.
00:31:17I'm from Boston.
00:31:18Is that right?
00:31:19As long as you can't stay for dinner,
00:31:21the least we can do is give you a drink.
00:31:24Mother, may I talk to you for a minute?
00:31:28Go ahead.
00:31:29I can wait.
00:31:32Mother, it's all about him.
00:31:34Shh, not hippie.
00:31:35Mother, it does such terrible things in the back.
00:31:37Shh.
00:31:38I can't wait.
00:31:39I can't wait.
00:31:40It doesn't have nothing to do with you.
00:31:41He was in jail, Mother.
00:31:42He was arrested.
00:31:43I know.
00:31:44And that ugly officer that he was there.
00:31:45It has nothing to do with you.
00:31:46Please listen to me.
00:31:47Whatever happened to that man.
00:31:48I'm glad he's dead.
00:31:49Don't say that.
00:31:50Don't ever say that.
00:31:52Mother, I...
00:31:53There's something I didn't tell you.
00:31:55B, whatever happened to that man has nothing to do with you.
00:31:58Nobody knows.
00:31:59Just you and I.
00:32:00So please put it out of your mind.
00:32:01Father, wait a minute.
00:32:02I wrote to him.
00:32:04I wrote a lot.
00:32:06They'll find the letters.
00:32:07No.
00:32:08No. No, they won't.
00:32:11No one will find anything.
00:32:13Oh, it's rotten. It's awful.
00:32:15Get ready for dinner, dear.
00:32:16I can't for dinner.
00:32:17All right, I'll bring you something later.
00:32:19Is that gentleman staying for dinner?
00:32:21No, and I hope Father doesn't ask him again.
00:32:24David, stop it and get dressed for dinner.
00:32:35Sibyl's almost ready to serve.
00:32:37In the summertime, the kids have a marvelous land on those little snowbirds.
00:32:40I can't believe that.
00:32:43I really must be going.
00:32:45Oh, but I haven't had a chance to hear about Tom.
00:32:46Father, I'll tell you all about it later.
00:32:48I'll be seeing you again, Mr. Harper, very likely.
00:32:51Mrs. Harper's going to help me look for a house out here.
00:32:53Good.
00:32:54Tomorrow.
00:32:56Luther, did anyone get the paper?
00:32:57I want to get the results of the fourth race at Tropical Park.
00:33:00Gold Admiral, paid 660.
00:33:03And Mr. Harper, at Caliente Sunday,
00:33:05Rolling Hills in the fifth race to win.
00:33:07Are you sure?
00:33:08I'm sure.
00:33:09Good night, Mr. Harper.
00:33:10Good night.
00:33:11I can't...
00:33:12I can't see you tomorrow.
00:33:16Where shall we meet?
00:33:17You can't come here.
00:33:18I won't have you in my house.
00:33:19I don't have to come back if you're giving her the money now.
00:33:22I have to have time to think.
00:33:24Could you get in touch with your husband?
00:33:26No.
00:33:27No.
00:33:28The father-in-law.
00:33:29We haven't got $5,000.
00:33:31You'll think of a way to lay your hands on it.
00:33:34Uh...
00:33:35I'll meet you at the real estate agency.
00:33:38Tomorrow.
00:33:39It's the one next to the drug store.
00:33:41Nine o'clock.
00:33:42Nine thirty.
00:33:43All right, Mrs. Harper.
00:33:45Good night.
00:33:47B's gone up to her room, Mother, and won't come down.
00:33:55I know.
00:33:56What's been bothering me the last few days, Lucia?
00:33:58The artist is starving her garret tonight.
00:34:01Uh...
00:34:02Nice fellow.
00:34:03Was his name O'Donnelly or just plain Donnelly?
00:34:06Donnelly.
00:34:07David, don't take so much butter.
00:34:09Uh...
00:34:10Where'd Tom meet him?
00:34:11I don't remember, Father.
00:34:12Tom meets so many people, he...
00:34:13Is he from Tom's office?
00:34:15I'm not sure.
00:34:17He...
00:34:18He didn't...
00:34:19What's the matter?
00:34:21I have a headache.
00:34:23David, I told you not to take so much butter.
00:34:27Don't you think you should get up, Lee?
00:34:30Everyone's at breakfast.
00:34:31It's late.
00:34:33I'll be there at breakfast.
00:34:36I'll sit and ask questions.
00:34:39Please, I don't want to go down.
00:34:42Oh, come on now.
00:34:43Fix your face and take a shower and have breakfast downstairs like everybody else.
00:34:47No, I can't.
00:34:52Couldn't I...
00:34:53Maybe go away somewhere for a while?
00:34:55I don't know, Bea.
00:34:57Where could you go and how would it look you're being away during the holidays?
00:35:01What would David and your grandfather think?
00:35:03Well...
00:35:04If I could go to...
00:35:05To go to Lake Tahoe...
00:35:06To where the illness...
00:35:08That would be perfectly all right.
00:35:10And I wouldn't think anything.
00:35:12Oh, please.
00:35:14Talk to her and see if it's all right.
00:35:16Or maybe...
00:35:18Because the Findration has taken over him...
00:35:24Oh, dear.
00:35:25Keith.
00:35:27I saw this guy on his boyfriend.
00:35:28Oh...
00:35:29Yeah.
00:35:30February 20th.
00:35:31What are you doing?
00:35:32It won't day long.
00:35:33Oh, dear.
00:35:34Oh, dear.
00:35:35Jump back.
00:35:36Hello.
00:35:37Global hashtag.
00:35:39Hey.
00:35:40Take care.
00:35:42Go away.
00:35:43I know how he can reach you.
00:35:44Operator, I want to call Lake Tahoe.
00:35:54Person-to-person call.
00:35:59My number?
00:36:01Pop it's getting called, Lucia.
00:36:03Never mind, operator.
00:36:14I'll get you.
00:36:36I thought we were supposed to meet at the real estate office.
00:36:39It's past 9.30.
00:36:40I'll be right with you.
00:36:44You've got to eat something before you go out.
00:37:04I can fix that.
00:37:06I didn't even know it had a horn.
00:37:09This'll do it.
00:37:10You've been around cars, haven't you, Mr. Donnelly?
00:37:12I used to handle quite a lot of them when they were hard to get.
00:37:19David, go in and finish your breakfast.
00:37:21Thank you, Mr. Donnelly.
00:37:22The next time the guard comes asking me to roll off the hose, please.
00:37:25Excellent.
00:37:25All right, go back in the house.
00:37:27Yes.
00:37:30Why'd you come here?
00:37:32We were supposed to meet in the village.
00:37:33I'd like to get this over as fast as I can.
00:37:35Yes.
00:37:36We'll have to move faster.
00:37:37Oh, here they are.
00:37:38I'll back my car out.
00:37:39We'll use mine.
00:37:40But...
00:37:40We'll use mine.
00:37:46Did you find a way to get the money yet?
00:37:49Please just drive me to the drugstore.
00:37:52I have a call to make.
00:37:56It's a call I can't make at the house.
00:38:00I understand.
00:38:01It's bad for your health.
00:38:23What?
00:38:24You smoke too much.
00:38:26I don't know.
00:38:26I don't know.
00:38:31It's going to be hard for me to go to Los Angeles and get the money.
00:38:43I promised Father and David the car tomorrow.
00:38:47If I want it, there'll be questions.
00:38:49I've been to Los Angeles once this week.
00:38:51That means more questions.
00:38:53You don't know how a family can surround you at times.
00:38:57No, I don't.
00:38:59I have to have time to think.
00:39:01I can't just get the money like, like that.
00:39:11Hi, Miss Harper.
00:39:13Hello, Mike.
00:39:14I thought I was going to hear from you, Miss Harper.
00:39:16What about?
00:39:17I want to get busy on that roof of yours before we get busy.
00:39:20Oh, well, we'll talk about it when Mr. Harper gets home.
00:39:23Okay.
00:39:25You should have taken my car.
00:39:27Turn left here.
00:39:28See, there's less traffic.
00:39:35This ought to be deserted enough.
00:39:39My son worked here last summer.
00:39:40Worked very hard.
00:39:42You wouldn't know about that, would you?
00:39:44Sold hamburgers, saved $40.
00:39:47At least he earned it.
00:39:50Do you never get away from your family?
00:39:55No.
00:39:55But Edna, Bea wouldn't care where she slept just as long as she was up there.
00:40:03She isn't hard to manage.
00:40:04Bea isn't like that.
00:40:06Edna, I'm the first to appreciate that you're filled up at Christmas, but Bea hasn't been feeling well.
00:40:10No, she isn't sick, but I want to get her away from here.
00:40:14February.
00:40:15No, Edna, you...
00:40:17What?
00:40:18Operator?
00:40:19My three...
00:40:20Hold on, Edna.
00:40:21I have to get some more change.
00:40:22Hold on.
00:40:23I need some change.
00:40:24I'm in the middle of a phone conversation.
00:40:25I've got some times.
00:40:27I think I'll need another quarter.
00:40:29I need some change.
00:40:30I'm in the middle of a phone conversation.
00:40:31I've got some times.
00:40:33I think I'll need another quarter.
00:40:36You're welcome.
00:40:37I'll need some change.
00:40:38I'm in the middle of a phone conversation.
00:40:41I've got some times.
00:40:44I think I'll need another quarter.
00:41:05Less nicotine, less tobacco, Stan. Nice.
00:41:19Do you sell many of these? Filter holders? Tons of them.
00:41:23Wouldn't it be simple if you didn't sell the cigarettes?
00:41:26Are you with Mrs. Harper? Yes.
00:41:29These are hers. Oh, thank you.
00:41:32One thing I can't make out, if it's two or three cans of tooth powder.
00:41:36I don't know. I'll make it three. All right.
00:41:39All right.
00:41:41And I'll take one of these.
00:41:44Charged? These are charged. I'll pay for that.
00:41:57Hello, Mr. Harper.
00:41:59Hello. Did you remember to put my father-in-law's razor blades?
00:42:03Did we?
00:42:05Yes. And here's your change. And three makes a dollar.
00:42:10You ready? Yes.
00:42:14Bye, Mrs. Harper. Goodbye, Mr...
00:42:16Uh...
00:42:28Cut your wheels. That's it.
00:42:33Was your telephone call successful? Did you arrange anything?
00:42:37I wasn't calling about the money. I have an aunt in Tahoe. I wanted a look after beef for a while.
00:42:42I thought you might have changed your mind about getting in touch with your husband.
00:42:46Will you be doing that?
00:42:48No.
00:42:49No.
00:42:52I told you, I can't do that.
00:42:54Why?
00:42:55It may be weeks before I can reach him.
00:42:57I wouldn't think there was any place that remote.
00:42:59He's traveling.
00:43:00You can cable him on a boat, not a train.
00:43:03What do you expect me to do? Cable, send money, I'm being blackmailed?
00:43:06My husband will get in touch with me as soon as he can.
00:43:09I'm afraid we can't wait that long.
00:43:10Well, I'm afraid you'll have to.
00:43:12I wouldn't even consider trying to raise the money if Bea weren't so...
00:43:15Well, she... if she wouldn't...
00:43:18Well, one has to be careful. Children dramatize things so much.
00:43:21In this case, she's justified.
00:43:23That's ridiculous. Her letters mean nothing. You and I, we both know that.
00:43:27Nevertheless, you're anxious that the police shan't see them.
00:43:29Only because it would make her feel...
00:43:32There's the police.
00:43:34They'll be looking for the one who killed Debbie.
00:43:37Now, if they should see those letters...
00:43:39Wednesday, Mr. Donnelly, please. The banks are closed over the weekend.
00:43:42There's nothing I can do...
00:43:43It's too far off.
00:43:44And the car, I've already told you, I can't take the car to Los Angeles again.
00:43:47It'll make my family wonder.
00:43:48It's just impossible for me to get away so soon again on my own.
00:43:51You're quite a prisoner, aren't you?
00:43:52I don't feel like one. Wednesday, Mr. Donnelly.
00:43:56In the years I've been with Nagel, I've seen him handle blackmail deals.
00:44:01Believe me, Mrs. Harper, it's best that you do this through me.
00:44:04My partner's not always as patient as I am.
00:44:07I don't believe you have a partner.
00:44:09You're on your own. You might at least have the courage to admit it.
00:44:12No, I'm not on my own.
00:44:14We're all involved with each other one way or another.
00:44:17You have your family. I have my Nagel.
00:44:20How can you say that?
00:44:22You and your Mr. Nagel, if he exists, are just a couple of blackmailers...
00:44:26held together by a common interest in cheating people.
00:44:28I wouldn't try to raise the money. It's just that Bea...
00:44:31It would be such a shock to her.
00:44:33She's lucky to have a mother like you.
00:44:35Everyone has a mother like me. You probably had one too.
00:44:40When shall I come for the money?
00:44:42I'll have to get in touch with you.
00:44:43I'll call you tonight.
00:44:44Don't you understand? You can't call me.
00:44:47I'll do the best I can. I'll try every way.
00:44:49Then I'll send it to you, but just give me until Wednesday.
00:44:52I'll know by then what I can do.
00:44:54I'll see about it.
00:44:57Would you like to have some lunch now?
00:44:59With you? No.
00:45:01It was perfectly safe with me.
00:45:03Just drop me on the other side.
00:45:05How will you get home?
00:45:06Don't worry. I'll manage.
00:45:10There is an Nagel.
00:45:12I'll give you my word.
00:45:13All right. Thank you very much, Mr. Harper. Thank you very much.
00:45:22Sorry we couldn't help you anymore, Lieutenant.
00:45:24But nobody up at our house ever heard of him.
00:45:26We'll see you again, Mr. Harper.
00:45:27You know, it had me completely fooled.
00:45:29I figured he was killed up in L.A. and then dropped down here.
00:45:31Well, we know it didn't happen that way, Mr. Harper.
00:45:34You mean because you know he was killed with an anchor?
00:45:36Well, that and some other things, yes, Mr. Harper.
00:45:38Do you think he was murdered right here in Balboa, Lieutenant?
00:45:40Well, maybe. All right.
00:45:41Well, if it happens to be that way, Lieutenant,
00:45:43we'll give you all the help we can.
00:45:44You see, when I was a young man in the Army,
00:45:46I was always interested in crime.
00:45:48Thank you very, very much, Mr. Harper.
00:45:50All right. You're welcome.
00:45:51We'll see you again. We'll see you again.
00:45:52Goodbye, Lieutenant. Goodbye, now.
00:45:54Come on, Shorty. Here we go.
00:45:56Okay.
00:45:57Cast on.
00:45:58Cast on.
00:45:59Come on.
00:46:01Come on.
00:46:02Good morning.
00:46:04Good morning.
00:46:05Good morning, guys.
00:46:07All right. Come on.
00:46:09You kids, I think you'd better get on over the boat.
00:46:11Excited is all over us.
00:46:12Come on, now.
00:46:13No lagging behind there.
00:46:14Come on.
00:46:15We did it.
00:46:16We did it.
00:46:17Come on.
00:46:18What are you all doing here?
00:46:19Oh, we had a little excitement.
00:46:21The police just left.
00:46:22You missed it, Mother.
00:46:23The police?
00:46:24Ah, about that, Darby.
00:46:26Routine questioning.
00:46:27Well, what'd they want to know?
00:46:29Well, if anyone in the house knew them
00:46:30or had ever heard of them.
00:46:32No, it is rather an odd case.
00:46:34I can't figure what that type of man would have been doing
00:46:36in this neck of the woods.
00:46:37We were grilled.
00:46:38My darling, you shouldn't be here.
00:46:39Go home.
00:46:40And I think the rest of you better go, too.
00:46:42Want to come up to the house?
00:46:43I got some new records.
00:46:44No, go to someone else's house.
00:46:49I like it, Lieutenant.
00:46:50But I'd rather be a fireman.
00:46:52Come on.
00:46:53Why did the police come here, Father?
00:46:55After all, they should know what the man was.
00:46:57Why are they checking private home?
00:46:59Oh, they seem to believe that he might have been involved
00:47:01with a family in the neighborhood.
00:47:03Why?
00:47:04Well, he was killed with an anchor.
00:47:06How do they know it was an anchor?
00:47:08The shape of the wound.
00:47:10Besides, they know the body was taken into the swamp
00:47:12by a small boat.
00:47:13The small boat had to come from someplace around here.
00:47:16Have they any ideas?
00:47:18No, I don't suppose they'd tell if they did.
00:47:21You know, somebody saw you out there that morning.
00:47:24What?
00:47:25Yeah, two fellows fishing.
00:47:26The lieutenant wanted to talk to you.
00:47:28Why?
00:47:29Oh, to find out if you'd seen anybody.
00:47:32I told them you hadn't or you'd have mentioned it.
00:47:34Why are they so interested in anyone being on the water at that hour?
00:47:38They know that it was about that time that Darby's body was moved into the swamp.
00:47:42Mrs. Harper?
00:47:43I didn't see anyone.
00:47:45Mrs. Harper?
00:47:46Uh, Sybil's calling you, Lucia.
00:47:49Telephone!
00:47:50Oh.
00:47:51I'm coming!
00:48:08Thanks.
00:48:13Hello?
00:48:15Hello, Mr. Downley.
00:48:17Uh, that Mr. Downley?
00:48:19Yes.
00:48:20Ask him for dinner some night.
00:48:21All right, Father.
00:48:24What is it?
00:48:25I understand you can't talk.
00:48:27Look now.
00:48:28I just called to tell you that he won't wait till Wednesday.
00:48:32He wants the money no later than Monday.
00:48:34And there is a Nagel.
00:48:36I'm afraid there's very much a Nagel.
00:48:38You don't believe me.
00:48:44Listen to me.
00:48:45Listen.
00:48:48If you could get half of it, you don't have to raise...
00:48:51I already told Nagel I wouldn't be wanting my share.
00:48:53And I'd like you to know, too, that if I had the money, I'd pay him off and that would be the end of it.
00:49:00Are you there?
00:49:01Did you hear what I said?
00:49:10I wish you would believe me.
00:49:13I wish things could have been different in many ways.
00:49:17Only one good thing came of it.
00:49:20I met you.
00:49:24Which way did you come into town?
00:49:27I'll meet you at the terminal.
00:49:49Hey, where's the game tonight?
00:49:51I don't know. I'm not playing.
00:49:54Tell him the game will be held in room 420 tonight.
00:50:00Talk to her?
00:50:01Yes.
00:50:02She'll have the money Monday?
00:50:04She'll try.
00:50:06What do you give me that she'll try business for?
00:50:08I told you what to tell her. Let's cut out the horsing around.
00:50:12Maybe I'd better go down there and talk to her.
00:50:14I'm handling this. You lay off. You're not going near her.
00:50:16I'm not, huh?
00:50:17No, you're not.
00:50:19You know, this lady's not in your class, Martin.
00:50:24I often think you get mad at me because I remind you of what you are.
00:50:28You're not respectable, Martin.
00:50:31Relax. Take it easy.
00:50:32Plus payment on house, plus taxes, plus telephone bill, plus piano bill.
00:50:44Plus piano bill, plus piano bill, plus piano bill, plus piano bill, plus electric bill, plus water bill.
00:51:10Come in.
00:51:11Mrs. Harper, you hardly touched a thing at dinner tonight. I thought maybe you'd like this.
00:51:16Thanks.
00:51:17Sybil, I didn't put the things away that I got in town this morning. Would you please?
00:51:20Yes.
00:51:21How do people put aside money so they have it when they need it?
00:51:26Christmas sure makes little numbers out of big ones, doesn't it?
00:51:31Sybil, we've got to cut down on the lights. That would...
00:51:35Well, I mean, we're always leaving the lights on and the meat bill, Sybil.
00:51:39No. I can cancel that suit I ordered.
00:51:43Oh, we can watch it a little more, Mrs. Harper.
00:51:48This wasn't on the list. Did you buy the cigarette holder?
00:51:52No. No, I didn't. I'll take it back.
00:51:56Good night, Mrs. Harper.
00:51:57Good night, Mrs. Harper. Good night.
00:52:18I really wish you'd understand, Mrs. Harper.
00:52:21That kind of a loan...
00:52:22Hello, Mrs. Harper.
00:52:23Now that kind of a loan, may I have your keys, please?
00:52:26We'd have to have your husband's signature.
00:52:27Yes, yes.
00:52:29If you'd given us a little notice, it would only be a matter of a few days.
00:52:32We've cabled to your husband, you see, and settled the matter.
00:52:35It's all right, Mr. Harper. How do I understand?
00:52:53Can you help me?
00:53:09Whom do I see about making a...
00:53:11I... I'd like to see someone about making a loan.
00:53:14making a loan. For just a minute. Mrs. Loring's free now. She's at the third desk in there.
00:53:21Just go through the gate. Thank you.
00:53:25How do you do? Won't you sit down? Miss... Mrs. Harper.
00:53:49Thank you. H-A-R-P-E-R? Yes.
00:53:58I grow them in my garden. Now then, what can I do for you?
00:54:03I want to get a loan. I mean, make a loan. No, get a loan.
00:54:08And how much do you wish to borrow? $5,000.
00:54:12I see. And what is the purpose of this loan, if I may ask?
00:54:19Well, I need the money. I gathered that. Now, what is the money for?
00:54:28Your ad said no red tape.
00:54:31We must know the purpose of the loan and how you plan to repay it. That's not red tape, is it?
00:54:37No, I didn't... Now, what is your husband's first name and occupation?
00:54:40I thought it was just a question of my signing a note.
00:54:43Well, how much do you think you could repay every month? $50.
00:54:49Mrs. Harper, do you realize how long it would take to pay back the sum, you ask, at that rate?
00:54:55I guess it would take a long time.
00:54:57Oh, we couldn't consider it, Mrs. Harper, really.
00:55:02Do you have any collateral? A car wouldn't cover it, of course, but your house...
00:55:06No, but I have my jewelry.
00:55:08Oh, I'm sorry. We cannot lend money on jewelry. We don't have a pawnbroker's license.
00:55:14It's, um, state law, you know?
00:55:17I see. Well, I guess I won't bother you anymore. Thanks.
00:55:20Thanks just the same. Of course.
00:55:25Merry Christmas.
00:55:27Merry Christmas.
00:55:57Merry Christmas.
00:56:07Over here, madam.
00:56:09I... I'd like to borrow some money on some jewelry.
00:56:12All right.
00:56:13Here it is.
00:56:20It's mine.
00:56:27Very nice. Nice selling.
00:56:33If I fill out a date...
00:56:35Yes.
00:56:36Um, how much do you want on this?
00:56:38As much as I can get.
00:56:40Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
00:56:42Well?
00:56:43Um, I can give you, um, $700.
00:56:46$700, but it's worth so much more.
00:56:49$800.
00:56:52Will you...
00:56:53Are you going to put the things in the window?
00:56:56Oh, no.
00:56:57Those things in the window are those which the owners haven't redeemed.
00:57:00Or they haven't paid the interest on.
00:57:02I see.
00:57:03Oh, it's late.
00:57:05Mm-hmm.
00:57:06Here's your ticket, madam.
00:57:09Mm-hmm.
00:57:10You'll need that.
00:57:12Mm-hmm.
00:57:24Excuse me.
00:57:25You'll need that.
00:57:26You'll need that.
00:57:27You'll need that.
00:57:28You'll need it.
00:57:29You'll need it.
00:57:30Hey, watch it.
00:57:31The lady.
00:57:32Keep your riding, Robert.
00:57:33Stop.
00:57:34You'll need it.
00:57:35I'll be right back.
00:57:37I'll be right back.
00:57:38You'll need it.
00:57:39I'll be right back.
00:57:40I'll be right back.
00:57:41I'll be right back.
00:57:42I'll be right back.
00:57:43I'll be right back.
00:57:44I'll be right back.
00:57:45I'm sorry.
00:57:46I'm late.
00:57:47I took longer than I thought.
00:57:48That's all right.
00:57:49That's not all right.
00:57:50I could only raise $800.
00:57:51And I won't be taking the money.
00:57:52Did you draw that out of your bank?
00:57:53No, I didn't have it.
00:57:54I pawned some jewelry.
00:57:55Well, you can get your things back, all of them.
00:57:56Nagel can't do anything to you now.
00:57:57I...
00:57:58I don't understand what you mean.
00:57:59The police know who killed Dabby.
00:58:00They've taken him in.
00:58:01They...
00:58:02They...
00:58:03They what?
00:58:04It's no bother of yours.
00:58:05He's nothing.
00:58:06They...
00:58:07They've arrested someone?
00:58:08I'll get you some coffee.
00:58:09What?
00:58:10Your worries are over now, and I'm glad.
00:58:12Do you want her in a trouble with you?
00:58:13No, he wants it.
00:58:14May.
00:58:15There's people in California yet.
00:58:16They'll keep the girl's name out of it.
00:58:17I'll let us have nothing to do with Dabby's.
00:58:19Mr. Donnelly.
00:58:20Listen to me, please.
00:58:21And I told her.
00:58:22Supposing he had nothing to do with it, this...
00:58:24What's his name?
00:58:25Murray, he could have been framed.
00:58:26A lot of people didn't like him.
00:58:27Pardon me.
00:58:28He's in jail for it.
00:58:29He'll be tried for it.
00:58:30Don't lose a night's sleep over it.
00:58:31He and Dabby...
00:58:32But he can't be punished, can he?
00:58:33For something he didn't do.
00:58:34There's no need for you to worry about it.
00:58:35It's no concern of yours.
00:58:37Coffee, please.
00:58:38One coffee, please.
00:58:39Yes.
00:58:40But what if he didn't do it?
00:58:41What if he did?
00:58:43But he didn't do it.
00:58:44He didn't because...
00:58:45Well, you see, he couldn't, and...
00:58:46The thing is, they mustn't keep him in jail because he didn't do it.
00:58:48Ten cents.
00:58:49One.
00:58:50Two C-stroms.
00:58:51Yes, please sit down.
00:58:52Arriving Kate Moore.
00:58:56Will you have a Coke?
00:58:57No, I want an ice cream.
00:58:59Yes.
00:59:00Camellias?
00:59:01Buy the lady a camellia, mister.
00:59:03You can't.
00:59:04Take it easy.
00:59:05But he didn't do it.
00:59:06Do you know who did that?
00:59:08You do know?
00:59:10Come on now, who was it?
00:59:11You're not going to tell me that you killed him?
00:59:14Yes.
00:59:15Well, no.
00:59:17I mean...
00:59:18Well, you see, earlier that day, I went to see Darby.
00:59:23I told him he must never meet her again.
00:59:27I told Bea, too.
00:59:29I said if he ever came near her again, I'd...
00:59:32Well, that night, he did come to see her.
00:59:34They met at the boathouse.
00:59:36I went there.
00:59:38There was an awful argument, and I...
00:59:40You couldn't have killed him.
00:59:41I don't believe you.
00:59:42I did.
00:59:43I did.
00:59:44It was with the anchor.
00:59:45And a little weapon.
00:59:47I pushed him.
00:59:53I pushed him, and he...
00:59:54He fell on it.
00:59:55Later, I had to move him off of it.
00:59:57It was...
00:59:58How did you move him?
00:59:59He was a big man, Darby.
01:00:00You couldn't have done that part of it.
01:00:01Oh, yes, I could.
01:00:02I did, though.
01:00:03I don't know how I did, but I...
01:00:04I don't believe you.
01:00:05I can't help it.
01:00:06It's the truth, and now they're holding on...
01:00:07All right, all right, all right.
01:00:08So you're a murderer.
01:00:09So I believe you, if that's what you want.
01:00:11But you're not to repeat the story to another's soul.
01:00:14I want your word on that.
01:00:16How goes your family?
01:00:18How would it be for them?
01:00:19Bus for Hermosa, Manhattan Beach, Long Beach, Newport, Balboa, Laguna.
01:00:23Now loading.
01:00:24Bus for Hermosa, Manhattan Beach, Long Beach, Newport, Balboa, Laguna.
01:00:27Now loading.
01:00:28Listen to me.
01:00:29You're out of it now.
01:00:30Don't you see?
01:00:31You're out of it.
01:00:32You're safe.
01:00:33But he's innocent.
01:00:34All right, he's innocent of this, but he's guilty of a hundred other things.
01:00:36So it doesn't matter.
01:00:37It makes no difference.
01:00:38You've got to look at it from all sides.
01:00:39It's your family.
01:00:40You have to think out what's going to do the most good in the end.
01:00:43Forget about him.
01:00:44What's the use of sacrificing your family for a man that's no good,
01:00:46that deserves what's coming to him?
01:00:48If he gets it for this, that's the only good thing he's done in the end.
01:00:51You have to think out what's going to do the most good in the end.
01:00:54Forget about him.
01:00:55You're not dealing with the kind of people you'll know.
01:00:56You're dealing with the kind of people I know.
01:00:57This is how it'll be.
01:00:58It's the right thing to do, Lucy.
01:00:59It's the right thing.
01:01:00Just you forget this.
01:01:01If you do as I say, it'll be over for you.
01:01:02Tonight, I'll have it out with Nagel.
01:01:03You'll have your letters back, and I'll bring them to the house.
01:01:04No, please.
01:01:05Please, mail them.
01:01:06I'm sorry, but...
01:01:07Of course, I understand.
01:01:08I'll mail them.
01:01:11Bus from New Orleans, San Anto, El Paso, Phoenix, now arriving.
01:01:14Bus from New Orleans, San Anto, El Paso, Phoenix, now arriving.
01:01:19Bus from New Orleans, San Anto, El Paso, Phoenix, now arriving.
01:01:26Bus from New Orleans, San Anto, El Paso, Phoenix, now arriving.
01:01:41But if you want your choice, you have to lay six to five.
01:01:55I'm looking for Nagel, have you seen him?
01:01:56In the bar.
01:02:02I'm on.
01:02:04Wait.
01:02:11No, no, no, no. Just play the same tune again.
01:02:15The same tune again.
01:02:23I need one card right from the beginning.
01:02:25Where's Nagel?
01:02:26It's your pick. You heard Murray got sprung a little while ago.
01:02:29What about a score?
01:02:30So he went for a little drive.
01:02:32Where did he go?
01:02:33He said he wanted to get some salt air.
01:02:35You're welcome.
01:02:37Yes, sir.
01:02:39Well done with the clock.
01:02:40They are off a good opinion.
01:02:41Yeah.
01:02:48Good night, Mrs. Harper.
01:02:51Mrs. Harper.
01:02:52Mrs. Harper.
01:02:54Mrs. Harper.
01:02:56There's a man here.
01:02:57Who?
01:02:58He says his name is Nagel.
01:02:59He's not a nice man, Mrs. Harper.
01:03:01Don't you think we ought to call him?
01:03:02No.
01:03:03Where is he?
01:03:04Well, he said he wanted to see you alone, so I had him wait in the boat house.
01:03:06I'll go, sir.
01:03:07You better tell the folks you're home first.
01:03:08They're awful upset about you being so late.
01:03:10All right.
01:03:11Would you give him a drink and tell him I'll be down as soon as I can?
01:03:13Yes, sir.
01:03:26Lucia, we've been worried sick.
01:03:27The traffic was heavy and the bus was slow.
01:03:30Hey, Mother, can I have a dollar?
01:03:32A dollar, David?
01:03:34What for?
01:03:35What for?
01:03:36I'm going out.
01:03:37Look at me.
01:03:38Boy of distinction.
01:03:39There's a dollar in my desk drawer upstairs.
01:03:42Take it, but one, not two.
01:03:44Okay, Frank.
01:03:45Where are you going?
01:03:46Owen Feller asked me and Bea to go to the movies with them.
01:03:49The whole gang's gone.
01:03:50But the beautiful Beatrice does not choose to go.
01:03:52Why don't you want to go, Bea?
01:03:53Because, Mother.
01:03:55Oh, you should go, dear.
01:03:57Owen will be terribly disappointed.
01:03:59I just don't want to.
01:04:01I've eaten and I'm tired.
01:04:03Really, Bea, the right thing for you to do is to go.
01:04:05I'm too tired to go into it now, but I wish you'd do as I say.
01:04:08Please.
01:04:09I just can't.
01:04:10Lucia.
01:04:12Lucia with Tom away.
01:04:15If you ever want to talk things over, if...
01:04:19Well, I mean if you...
01:04:21What I mean is...
01:04:23I'm here, you know.
01:04:24I know, Father.
01:04:25I was on my way to bed, but if you'd like to catch a late movie.
01:04:28No, thanks.
01:04:29Tired?
01:04:32Father.
01:04:33There's nothing wrong that Tom's coming home won't cure.
01:04:37Good night.
01:04:38Good night.
01:04:39I'll do those.
01:04:40You go.
01:04:41Oh, Mother.
01:04:42I just don't feel like seeing you.
01:04:43You don't want to see Owen and I know why.
01:04:44It's ridiculous.
01:04:45Believe me.
01:04:46Has anyone ever found out about it?
01:04:47We've gone all through that and there's nothing more to say.
01:04:48You just can't stop living at your age.
01:04:49Come on.
01:04:50I'm not dressed.
01:04:51You look perfectly all right.
01:04:52I'll give you my fair coat.
01:04:53It looks lovely, aren't you?
01:04:54You've got to see people sooner or later, so you might as well start now.
01:04:57I'm not dressed.
01:04:58You look perfectly all right.
01:04:59I'll give you my fair coat.
01:05:00It looks lovely, aren't you?
01:05:01You've got to see people sooner or later, so you might as well start now.
01:05:06Mother?
01:05:07It's just that it's so difficult to put you in the mask.
01:05:09I know.
01:05:10Hey.
01:05:11She's going?
01:05:12Yes, David.
01:05:13She's going.
01:05:14Atta, girl.
01:05:15Come on.
01:05:16Wait a minute, B.
01:05:17I want to roll down your sleeves.
01:05:20There's something in the pocket.
01:05:25Oh, it's just an old shopping list.
01:05:27Shopping list?
01:05:28What?
01:05:29I'm nothing, dear.
01:05:30You better hurry.
01:05:31Put your sleeves.
01:05:33Come on.
01:05:34I'll see you when you get home.
01:05:35Have fun.
01:05:36Okay.
01:05:37Mrs. Harper?
01:05:38Mrs. Harper, would you like me to go with you?
01:05:39No thanks, Sybil.
01:05:40I'll wait here.
01:05:41You call me if you need me.
01:05:42All right.
01:05:43All right.
01:05:44Come on.
01:05:45Come on.
01:05:50Mrs. Harper?
01:05:51Mrs. Harper, would you like me to go with you?
01:05:54No thanks, Sybil.
01:05:55I'll wait here.
01:05:56You call me if you need me.
01:05:57All right.
01:06:13No.
01:06:34I'm sorry I've had to wait here, but my family...
01:06:36Well, Duchess, you sure took your time.
01:06:38Well, I couldn't get here any sooner.
01:06:41What do you want?
01:06:42Don't you know?
01:06:43Well, this afternoon Mr. Donnelly said that I didn't...
01:06:45No, you must be a mighty past talking.
01:06:48Donnelly was a mighty good man until he ran into you.
01:06:51Now he's gone soft on us.
01:06:52But he said that everything...
01:06:53Let's skip all the talking.
01:06:54Where's the money?
01:06:55Donnelly said too much.
01:06:57We're right back where we started.
01:06:59Only this time he's out.
01:07:01I'm taking the whole five tonight.
01:07:03I don't know where you...
01:07:04Now.
01:07:05I don't know what you mean, right back where we started.
01:07:06I don't know what you're talking about.
01:07:07Oh, you know what I'm talking about.
01:07:09Now, where's the money?
01:07:10I haven't got it.
01:07:11I can't get it.
01:07:12I don't have to get it.
01:07:13I don't have to get it.
01:07:14I don't have to get it because you can't do anything to me anymore.
01:07:16Cut it.
01:07:17Cut it.
01:07:18You might be playing around with Donnelly, but not with me.
01:07:21I tell you, you can't do anything to me anymore.
01:07:23They've got the man who killed Darby.
01:07:24It has nothing to do with my daughter.
01:07:25The letters mean nothing.
01:07:26They've got him.
01:07:27They've got the man they're looking for.
01:07:28You can't do anything to me anymore.
01:07:29You can't do anything to me anymore.
01:07:30I've got news for you, Duchess.
01:07:31Murray was sprung this afternoon.
01:07:33I'm going to do what I should have done in the beginning.
01:07:36I'm going to call the police.
01:07:37I'll get a hold of a newspaper friend of mine and give him these.
01:07:40He'll do the rest.
01:07:42There's nothing the newspapers like more than a beautiful young girl mixed up in a murder case.
01:07:46She had nothing to do with it.
01:07:47Then let her prove it.
01:07:48Donnelly might have been willing to make some kind of deal with you, but not me.
01:07:53I don't care about your daughter, your son, your husband or anybody else.
01:08:11This is a business proposition with me and I don't leave this place until I have that money in my hand.
01:08:16So make up your mind now.
01:08:18Either you come clean with me or I take your daughter's letters to the newspapers.
01:08:22It's as simple as that.
01:08:23So let's quit the stalling, huh?
01:08:25I told her to keep away from her.
01:08:28I told her.
01:08:30I told her.
01:08:33I told her.
01:08:34She said.
01:08:35I told her.
01:08:36I told her.
01:08:37No more.
01:08:38Worseful moment of her will.
01:08:39I don't care about the ass.
01:08:40I know.
01:08:42I know.
01:08:46I know.
01:08:48I know.
01:08:49I know.
01:08:50I know.
01:08:51And you were years.
01:08:52Oh, 100% of it.
01:08:53It does.
01:08:54Well, yes.
01:08:56Also, it is a different .
01:08:58Oh, my God.
01:09:28Oh, my God.
01:09:58Oh, my God.
01:10:00Get help.
01:10:01You're bleeding.
01:10:04You've got to get him out of here.
01:10:06No.
01:10:07No, you're not going to do that.
01:10:08You've got to get him out of here.
01:10:09No, you can't.
01:10:10It's useless.
01:10:12We've got to call the police.
01:10:15No, no, no.
01:10:17You don't understand.
01:10:18I'll tell them the whole story.
01:10:19Everything that happened.
01:10:20I'll tell them it's my fault, not yours.
01:10:22That you did it for me.
01:10:23I'll tell them that.
01:10:24They'll understand when I tell them everything.
01:10:26It's me and Nigel.
01:10:27They'll understand.
01:10:28They know how kind.
01:10:29I'm not like him.
01:10:30He was better than I was.
01:10:31He had no illusions about himself.
01:10:33I never killed a man before.
01:10:36Do you know that when I was a boy, my mother wanted to make a priest of me?
01:10:43She had five sons and would never learn that I was the bad one.
01:10:48I never did a decent thing in all my life.
01:10:51I never even wanted to until you came along.
01:10:54Then I began to think, if only I could turn back and start over.
01:11:00So what happens?
01:11:02As soon as I try to start back, I find myself with this on my hands.
01:11:07Let's take it as a hint, Lucia.
01:11:09Don't make the same mistake my mother made.
01:11:11You don't know me, Lucia.
01:11:13The police know me all right.
01:11:15No.
01:11:16I can't let you take this on yourself and be haunted for murder the rest of your life.
01:11:20I got you into this.
01:11:23It was my way of doing something that's made everything wrong.
01:11:27I'll tell them that.
01:11:29I'll tell them about Bea and Darby.
01:11:32I'll tell them about you.
01:11:34It's the only way.
01:11:36Before you do that, do you mind getting me a drink?
01:11:38I could use one.
01:11:40Be right back.
01:11:50It's all right.
01:11:51Go upstairs and get some bandages.
01:11:53Mr. Donnelly's been badly hurt.
01:11:55Mr. Donnelly.
01:11:56Yes, but hurry and be careful about Mr. Harper.
01:11:59Yes, but hurry and be careful about Mr. Harper.
01:12:00Yes, but hurry and be careful about Mr. Harper.
01:12:04Well come on.
01:12:05I'll tell you what it's gonna happen.
01:12:06Come on.
01:12:07You want me to go with you?
01:12:08Oh, come on.
01:12:09Come on.
01:12:10Come on.
01:12:13You ain't got a big wine.
01:12:14Come on.
01:12:15Come on.
01:12:16I thought it was in the bathroom.
01:12:17I couldn't.
01:12:18All right.
01:12:19You're over with me.
01:12:20You want me to go with you?
01:12:22Hurry, simple, hurry.
01:12:26Come on.
01:12:29I thought it was in the bathroom. I couldn't.
01:12:31All right, okay.
01:12:32You want me to go with you?
01:12:34You better take your coat.
01:12:51All right.
01:13:21Donnelly?
01:13:27Sybil! Sybil, my car keys! Hurry!
01:13:41You would not have helped him with the police, Mrs. Harper.
01:13:46I'd lie. I wouldn't tell him about the blackmail.
01:13:49I liked Mr. Donnelly.
01:13:54He wouldn't listen to me.
01:13:56If only he would listen to me.
01:14:19No!
01:14:26Where?
01:14:27On the right side.
01:14:29I see.
01:14:31Something's happening.
01:14:32Stop!
01:14:33Donnelly!
01:14:34Come back to the car, Lucy!
01:14:35Come back!
01:14:36Come back!
01:14:37Come back!
01:14:38Sybil!
01:14:39Get away from me!
01:14:40Sybil!
01:14:41Stop the car and you'll help!
01:14:42No, you can't move that.
01:14:43It's pinned underneath.
01:14:44But it's only in the arm.
01:14:45Lucy!
01:14:46Here.
01:14:47I got these off naked.
01:14:48No, don't do that.
01:14:49Leave me.
01:14:50Leave me just as I am.
01:14:51No, don't even touch me.
01:14:53You mustn't be found here when help comes.
01:14:55I must get away from you.
01:14:56Now, listen carefully.
01:14:57Listen carefully, Lucy.
01:14:58Don't you understand?
01:14:59Everything's turned out all right.
01:15:00Finding Naegle here, they'll never know what happened.
01:15:01It'll be...
01:15:02He was with me when I had the accident.
01:15:04But you'll spoil everything if you're here when they come.
01:15:08You'll spoil everything, if you're here when they come.
01:15:10They'll see him.
01:15:11I don't know.
01:15:12Don't you even see them?
01:15:13They'll see them all as they come.
01:15:15Finding Nagel here, they'll never know what happened.
01:15:18It'll be... He was with me when I had the accident.
01:15:23But you'll spoil everything if you're here when they come.
01:15:32Now, you must have courage, Lucy, and leave me.
01:15:36You'll spoil everything if you stay.
01:15:39It'll all be for nothing.
01:15:42Everything will be all right for me in a few minutes.
01:15:45They'll take me to the station and the doctor will fix me.
01:15:48But you must get away from here.
01:15:51Go on, hurry, Lucy.
01:15:53Go on now, Lucy.
01:15:56Hurry now.
01:15:58Go on, get away.
01:16:02Hurry, Lucy, go on.
01:16:06Go on now.
01:16:08Go on.
01:16:12Come on, Mrs. Harper.
01:16:22I'll drive.
01:16:42Look Smith.
01:16:47Don't hit me.
01:16:54Mrs. Harper, telephone!
01:16:56Berlin call!
01:17:00Hold your Word, girl.
01:17:07I'm sorry, it got back in there.
01:17:12It's Mr. Harper, he's on the phone.
01:17:42Mother, we saw a terrible accident.
01:17:44Quiet, David. It's Mr. Harper, Berlin, Dad.
01:17:47Mother, we had to make a detour.
01:17:49Hi, Dad.
01:17:49The police said that the man who was in the accident confessed to killing Darby.
01:17:54And they got to him just before he died.
01:17:56And, Mother, they told me who it was.
01:18:04Here she is, just a second, Dad.
01:18:05What's going on down there?
01:18:07It's Dad, Grandpa.
01:18:08Oh.
01:18:08Tom?
01:18:12Tom, we've mailed your Christmas packages.
01:18:15We're going to have a blue Christmas tree.
01:18:18Everything's fine, except we miss you terribly.
01:18:22Yes, Tom.
01:18:23We've got a blue Christmas tree.
01:18:29Yes, Tom.
01:18:30We've got a blue Christmas tree.
01:18:32We've got a blue Christmas tree.
