00:00:00The End
00:00:30THE END
00:01:00THE END
00:01:30No, no, no, that is terrible
00:01:43Get up
00:01:44Well, what's the matter?
00:01:48Matter?
00:01:49Well, you cannot act, that is all
00:01:51You do not feel it, you do not think it
00:01:54Want me to try it again?
00:02:05What for?
00:02:06I told you all week that you cannot act
00:02:08Then I thought maybe if we came and rehearsed here alone tonight
00:02:12But it is useless
00:02:14Well, that dummy has more feeling than you
00:02:17Now, look here, Borka
00:02:23Why don't you play ball?
00:02:25You agreed to give this part to the winner of that newspaper contest, now, didn't you?
00:02:28Yes
00:02:28Like a fool
00:02:30Oh, well, you say that just because the winner was me
00:02:32You've always thought I was just a rich guy who wanted to hang around moving picture people
00:02:36And you are
00:02:37No, I'm not either
00:02:38I've always really wanted to act
00:02:40And if you weren't the director, old boy
00:02:42I'd be making good right now
00:02:45You are crazy
00:02:46You cannot act and you will never learn how to act
00:02:49Why, you are just like the other rich loafers out here
00:02:53You would think acting would be a great chance to make love to all the extra girls
00:02:57Yes, I know
00:02:59Now, that's another thing
00:03:00You picture guys have given me a hot reputation around here
00:03:04My wife thinks that I went into that contest just so that I could meet a lot of pretty movie girls
00:03:08And, of course, you did not
00:03:10No, I did not
00:03:11You are just evil-minded, that's all
00:03:14Why, last year, before I ever got the movie bus
00:03:17You told some people I was flirting with your wife
00:03:19Adel
00:03:21Well, you did
00:03:22In fact, a lot of people thought that was why you sent her back to Europe
00:03:25Now, Adel
00:03:26You leave my wife's name out of this
00:03:30Who is that?
00:03:37Let's see
00:03:37Oh, hello, Mac
00:03:41Good evening, Mr. Adel
00:03:44Cablegram, Mr. Barker
00:03:46Oh, thanks, Mac
00:03:48Good night, sir
00:03:49Good night
00:03:50Well, I suppose if you've made up your mind that I can't play the part, that's all there is to it
00:03:56I can't argue with you about it
00:04:00What's the matter?
00:04:06What's the matter?
00:04:07What's the matter?
00:04:08What's the matter?
00:04:09She is dead
00:04:10Who is dead?
00:04:11Olga
00:04:13Your wife?
00:04:14Yes
00:04:15She died yesterday
00:04:17In Europe
00:04:19Oh, I'm sorry, Buck
00:04:21I'm...
00:04:22Adel
00:04:29What's the matter?
00:04:30What's the matter?
00:04:31What are you looking at me like that for?
00:04:33She died with...
00:04:36With your name on her lips
00:04:37She died with your name on her lips.
00:04:44You don't think...
00:04:46I can't believe that I...
00:04:48Yes, I think...
00:04:50No, you're wrong, Bork.
00:04:51No, no, no. I am not wrong.
00:04:53I swear, look at me, Bork. I never made love to you.
00:04:55I've never even tried to...
00:04:56You've got to believe me, Bork.
00:04:57No! I... I... I do not believe you.
00:05:01Wait a minute, Bork. I just thought of something.
00:05:03I have a letter, a letter from your wife.
00:05:05What?
00:05:06It was written about a month ago, from Europe.
00:05:08I'll show you.
00:05:09She told me not that she hated me because I wouldn't even look at her.
00:05:11Oh, you...
00:05:12Oh, that much was true, Bork, that much was true, but I...
00:05:15Well, no, it must be in my dressing, Bork.
00:05:17Go!
00:05:19You are lying.
00:05:21You're crazy, Bork. I'm...
00:05:25Come on with me if you think I'm lying.
00:05:27I will.
00:05:29Come.
00:05:35You are lying.
00:05:38You're lying.
00:05:40You're lying.
00:05:41Sorry.
00:05:42Been.
00:05:43Chatted can't help, sorry,usz?
00:05:45But we had to deal with my face.
00:05:47Many times I was revision, you don't want to do this.
00:05:49No?
00:05:51Right.
00:05:53Doinary arithmetic, chapter 43.
00:05:55Come on.
00:05:56But I thought, hombre, I said hi, baby.
00:05:58Nothing happened.
00:05:59But he's yelling.
00:06:01You see, that's funny.
00:06:15I guess the fool watchman must have locked the door.
00:06:18We'd have to get a passkey from the gate.
00:06:20Dick.
00:06:22Oh, hello?
00:06:22Dick, can I see you a minute, please?
00:06:26Oh, sure, sure.
00:06:29I'll be right in.
00:06:31All right.
00:06:34You know Helen, wasn't she?
00:06:37The night watchman's kid.
00:06:39I think she played a small part in your last picture.
00:06:43I'll see what she wants.
00:06:45And I'll get that letter.
00:06:46Yes, and be quick.
00:06:48All right.
00:06:54Dick, you love me?
00:06:56Why, of course I love you, silly.
00:07:01Now, what is it?
00:07:02Well, it's about your wife, Dick.
00:07:05Well, what about her?
00:07:07Well, you're divorced.
00:07:09Oh, that.
00:07:11Yes.
00:07:11Are you sure your decree will be final next month?
00:07:14Of course, darling.
00:07:15I told you all about that.
00:07:17Yes, I know.
00:07:18But tonight at home, you know my brother Ted.
00:07:21He drives a taxi cab around here, doesn't he?
00:07:23Yes.
00:07:24Yes, I know.
00:07:25Dick, he said you've been lying to me.
00:07:27He said there isn't going to be any divorce.
00:07:29He did?
00:07:31Well, darling, you didn't believe him, did you?
00:07:34Of course, I didn't, Dick.
00:07:36But I had to see you and have you tell me it isn't true because...
00:07:41Oh, I love you so.
00:07:43Of course it isn't true, darling.
00:07:45Now, look, we love each other and that's all that matters.
00:07:50Now, isn't it, hmm?
00:07:53Yes?
00:07:54Yes, I'm with her.
00:07:55I'm waiting.
00:07:56All right, all right.
00:08:01You can't.
00:08:03The way I came in.
00:08:04How's that?
00:08:05Well, you see, Father being the night watchman, I didn't dare come by the front gate.
00:08:09So I came through the window.
00:08:11But I thought those windows were wired at night with a burglar alarm.
00:08:13They are, but I got my father to show me how to open them.
00:08:17Great.
00:08:26Oh.
00:08:27Good evening, Mrs. Hardell.
00:08:28Good evening, Mr. Borker.
00:08:30They told me at the gate that you were still resting.
00:08:32I thought I'd wait for Dick and his dressing room.
00:08:34Why, he's in there now.
00:08:36Resting for a moment, sir.
00:08:39Perhaps I'd better...
00:08:40Don't trouble.
00:08:41I'll tell him.
00:08:43Are you in there, Dick?
00:08:54Dick!
00:08:55All right, darling.
00:08:57I'll be right out.
00:09:05Dick!
00:09:05Dick!
00:09:05Pardon me, Mr. Borker.
00:09:13I'm sorry, Dick.
00:09:15I know you don't like me to come over when you're here, but...
00:09:17I have to come.
00:09:21Dick!
00:09:24You know, you promised me something.
00:09:27Promised you what?
00:09:28That there wouldn't be anyone else.
00:09:30Again.
00:09:31Ever.
00:09:32I did, dear.
00:09:32What about it?
00:09:34Oh, no.
00:09:35Except that...
00:09:37Someone called me up about an hour ago.
00:09:39Called you up?
00:09:40A boy named McDonald.
00:09:43He said that he'd just found out something about you and his sister.
00:09:46What?
00:09:47He said that you and she...
00:09:49He said that she was coming here tonight.
00:09:51Well, he's crazy, darling.
00:09:52He was kidding you.
00:09:53No, he wasn't, Dick.
00:09:54Dick.
00:09:55You know, I told you what I'd do to you.
00:09:59If you ever looked at anyone else again.
00:10:00So don't lie to me.
00:10:02Is she here?
00:10:02Why, of course not, darling.
00:10:04Now, please go home.
00:10:04No, I won't go home, Dick.
00:10:05You're trying to get rid of me.
00:10:06She is here.
00:10:07I'll kill you if you're lying to me.
00:10:08My dear, all right.
00:10:09Now, take it easy.
00:10:09There's no one here.
00:10:10Oh, dear.
00:10:11Now, dear, that's Borker.
00:10:12We've got to rehearse.
00:10:16Dick.
00:10:19You're sure you love me?
00:10:22Why, of course I love you, darling.
00:10:24Because if you didn't, if you ever loved anyone else again, ever, there might be an accident.
00:10:36An accident?
00:10:37Yes, my dear.
00:10:39An accident.
00:10:43To you.
00:10:45Good night.
00:10:47Good night.
00:10:49Good night.
00:10:51Good night.
00:10:53Good night.
00:10:54Good night.
00:11:02Oh, that's a letter, Borker.
00:11:03So?
00:11:04I, uh, it just occurred to me, Borker, the letter's home.
00:11:07I'm going with Blanche together.
00:11:08No, no.
00:11:10I will take you home.
00:11:12My car's on the lot.
00:11:13Not trying to get to walk from here.
00:11:14That's awfully nice of you, old boy, but Blanche is expecting me.
00:11:16Tell her we are rehearsing.
00:11:20I don't care what to tell her.
00:11:22Come.
00:11:22I don't care what to tell her.
00:11:27I'm sorry.
00:11:29I'm sorry.
00:11:30I'm sorry.
00:12:01I'm not afraid of you, Mrs. Ardell.
00:12:16I wanted him to tell you long ago.
00:12:19I loved it.
00:12:20And he loved me.
00:12:22I see.
00:12:23How very romantic.
00:12:25What did you expect me to do?
00:12:27Fade out?
00:12:27Oh, he told me all about it.
00:12:29Well, about what?
00:12:31All about your divorce.
00:12:33Oh, he told you that.
00:12:35That's quite original.
00:12:37His imagination is improving.
00:12:39I don't understand you.
00:12:42But in your honor.
00:12:44Oh, listen to me, my poor child.
00:12:46There isn't any divorce.
00:12:48There never has been any divorce.
00:12:50I don't believe you.
00:12:51But don't be a fool.
00:12:53Didn't you hear what he said to me just now when he kissed me?
00:12:57Yes.
00:12:57I thought you did.
00:12:59That's why I had him say it.
00:13:01Now, look here.
00:13:01You better come home with me and we'll talk this thing over.
00:13:04No.
00:13:05You're afraid to let me see, Dick.
00:13:07You know he loves me.
00:13:08Do you mind about Dick?
00:13:10I'll settle with him later.
00:13:12Can you come along with me?
00:13:13No, I won't come.
00:13:15He loves me, I tell you.
00:13:17That's all I care about.
00:13:19Oh, Dick.
00:13:20Oh, come here now.
00:13:21Pull yourself together.
00:13:23Now, look here.
00:13:23You come home with me and we'll talk.
00:13:50You kind of scared me there at first.
00:13:58Been around?
00:13:59Yes, I've been everywhere.
00:14:01Anybody come in besides Hardell and Borker?
00:14:04Yeah, Mrs. Hardell.
00:14:05But not another soul.
00:14:07Well, the place is like a morgue around here.
00:14:10Mac, you better go inside.
00:14:11That call's getting worse.
00:14:13Oh, I'm all right.
00:14:14Yeah, but you can never tell.
00:14:16What?
00:14:20Hey, you.
00:14:22What do you want?
00:14:23It's all right, George.
00:14:25Me, Ted McDonald.
00:14:27Mac, your kid's been drinking.
00:14:29It's all right, George.
00:14:34Hello, Father.
00:14:36How's Father?
00:14:37Oh, I'm all right.
00:14:38Ted, you'd better give me the rest of that flash now
00:14:41before you get into trouble.
00:14:42Haven't got any flash.
00:14:43It's all gone.
00:14:44Oh, just let me alone, Tom, now.
00:14:46Here, what are you doing with that, Ted?
00:14:48What happened?
00:14:50Boy, it's Helen.
00:14:51Helen?
00:14:52Yeah, Helen.
00:14:54My innocent little sister, Helen.
00:14:57She's in there now with him, in his dressing room.
00:14:59What are you talking about?
00:15:00Well, I'm telling you, Helen's in there with Hardell.
00:15:03The dumb.
00:15:03Listen, he'll hear you.
00:15:05Now, you go on home, okay?
00:15:06Listen, I'll kill him.
00:15:07You better get out of here, my boy,
00:15:08before they call a cup and have your throne up.
00:15:10Go on.
00:15:11I tell you, Pop.
00:15:12Get yourself a cup of coffee, and that'll straighten you up fine.
00:15:14Oh, please, won't you let me go in?
00:15:16Go on, get your car started now.
00:15:17Please, Pop, let me...
00:15:18Go on, Pop.
00:15:19Go on, Ted.
00:15:20Hurry up.
00:15:21Get your car, go on.
00:15:28Hey, George.
00:15:29Yeah?
00:15:30Are you sure my daughter Helen didn't come in here tonight?
00:15:35No, she isn't on the lot.
00:15:38Why, why, what's on your mind?
00:15:41Nothing.
00:15:41Something the boy said, that's all.
00:15:43Oh, gosh, I hope nothing's happened to Helen.
00:15:47You know, Mac, I think she's the greatest girl ever.
00:15:52In fact, if I was only 20 years younger...
00:15:55Well, uh...
00:15:56Well, oh, well.
00:15:58I better be on the way.
00:16:01Hey, you take care of yourself now.
00:16:04You imagine something for that cough?
00:16:05Oh, that's good.
00:16:06Well, Mr. White, I haven't done that for 20 years.
00:16:23You and me both, George.
00:16:24How's that?
00:16:25Oh, can't complain.
00:16:26Is, uh, Walker still working?
00:16:28Yeah, he's in there with Hardell.
00:16:29Well, I've, uh, written that new comedy finish to Walker's story, and the boy, it's a pimp.
00:16:35Yeah?
00:16:36I'm telling the kid it's a while.
00:16:38Now, now, get a load of this for her situation.
00:16:40Now, the boy in the story is bashful, see?
00:16:43Afraid to tell her good he loves it.
00:16:44Know what I mean?
00:16:44Yeah.
00:16:45So, what do you think?
00:16:47I don't have to think.
00:16:48She told me that yesterday.
00:16:50Oh, that?
00:16:50Oh, no, that's all out.
00:16:51I got a new one.
00:16:52A real one alive.
00:16:53Now, listen to this, boy.
00:16:54Now, the boy is into candy, so he sees a lot of little kids buying little hearts.
00:16:57Those candy hearts with models on them.
00:16:59Yes, and the boy buys one with I love you on it and sends it to the girl.
00:17:04Why, yeah, that's it.
00:17:05How'd you guess?
00:17:07I didn't guess.
00:17:07I saw it in the picture.
00:17:09Say, what?
00:17:11Oh, what picture?
00:17:13Oh, uh, I think it was one of Mr. Duncan's pictures about a year ago.
00:17:16Oh, say, that's mine.
00:17:18He stole it for dirty.
00:17:18Oh, Mr. White.
00:17:21Oh, please, Mr. Hardell.
00:17:23May I speak to you for a moment, please?
00:17:25Why, yes, indeed.
00:17:27The, uh, the gate, George, please.
00:17:29Come, come, Mr. Pollo.
00:17:41What's the gag?
00:17:42You know Helen McDonald.
00:17:44Do I know her?
00:17:45I'll say I do.
00:17:47Say, she's the greatest little girl on this lot.
00:17:49Except for one thing.
00:17:51What's that?
00:17:51Well, you see, ever since I've known Helen, I've had a terrible case on her.
00:17:56Well, she thinks I'm just a big influenza germ.
00:17:59Oh, I see.
00:18:00Well, you can do her a favor.
00:18:03Really?
00:18:03How?
00:18:03She's back in the shadow.
00:18:06She doesn't want the gate man to tell her father that she was here tonight.
00:18:10Oh, I see.
00:18:11Nothing serious, I hope.
00:18:12Oh, no, no.
00:18:13I'll tell you about it some other time.
00:18:15Just now.
00:18:16I don't think she'd better see anyone.
00:18:18Oh, all right.
00:18:19Well, we'll tell her I'll look out for the warning, will you?
00:18:21I think she'll be working at the Hemmings thing.
00:18:22Oh, I'll tell her.
00:18:23Now, if you just keep that gate man busy.
00:18:26Don't worry.
00:18:27I'll have him often for her, and he won't see a thing.
00:18:29Oh, thank you.
00:18:30Okay.
00:18:38Oh, George.
00:18:41Yeah?
00:18:42Did you ever hear the one about the piccolo player?
00:18:45Yeah, I heard it.
00:18:47Well, you needn't get a sore about it.
00:18:49Say, George, did you ever hear the one about the young couple that went to get married?
00:18:54Yeah, I heard that one, too.
00:18:56Is there anything you haven't heard?
00:18:58Yes, sir.
00:18:59I haven't heard you leave.
00:19:00Oh, say, I know.
00:19:01I say, I bet I'd never showed you my cigarette trick, did I?
00:19:03No.
00:19:03Have you ever seen my cigarette trick?
00:19:04No.
00:19:04Well, then I showed you.
00:19:05Now, watch close.
00:19:06As close as you watch, and watch your thing.
00:19:07We take the handkerchief dusting.
00:19:08You see, she's absolutely unprepared.
00:19:09Absolutely clean of both sides.
00:19:10We put it over the hand.
00:19:11Over the hand dusting, you see?
00:19:13And we put the thumb here and make a little hole.
00:19:14Now, watch very closely.
00:19:15We remove the cigarette to the victim's mask.
00:19:16Now, don't look at me, but look down there.
00:19:18And we put it right into the handkerchief like that, you see?
00:19:20And we push it right down or not through.
00:19:22Sorry, and presto, change you.
00:19:24Where did the cigarette go to?
00:19:26Oh, that's terrible.
00:19:28You got it up your sleeve, I know.
00:19:30Oh, say, now.
00:19:30I know.
00:19:31You can't get your chances.
00:19:32Hey, wait a minute.
00:19:33Who's that over there with Mrs. Hardell?
00:19:38Who's talking?
00:19:39Why, you tell her about Donald.
00:19:41How'd she get out there?
00:19:43Search me.
00:19:43Maybe it's two other fellas.
00:19:45No, sirree.
00:19:45That's Helen McDonald.
00:19:46Hello, front gate?
00:20:01Yeah, that's right.
00:20:02This is Bill Martin, Mr. Borka's assistant.
00:20:04Has Mr. Borka finished yet?
00:20:06Hey, he's still rehearsing.
00:20:08Well, when he comes out, tell him I'm over at his house.
00:20:10And I've made all the changes I can in the script till he gets here.
00:20:13All right, I'll tell him.
00:20:16Hey, hey, wait a minute.
00:20:18Here's Mr. Borka now.
00:20:19Hey.
00:20:20Hello.
00:20:22Hello.
00:20:25Open the gate, will you?
00:20:27We are going out.
00:20:29Okay, Mr. Borka.
00:20:31Is that Mr. Hardell with you?
00:20:33Yes, George.
00:20:33It's me.
00:20:35Oh, Mr. Borka.
00:20:36Yes?
00:20:37Your assistant called up.
00:20:39He's over at your house with some story changes waiting for you.
00:20:42Good.
00:20:42I will stop over a minute, Hardell.
00:20:45It's on the way to your place.
00:20:47All right, Borka.
00:20:49Oh, excuse me, Mr. Borka.
00:20:50Say, what time do you start to work in the morning?
00:20:52Not till 11.
00:20:53Good night.
00:20:54Good night.
00:20:55Good night.
00:20:55Good night.
00:20:55No work until 11.
00:21:12Boy, that's a break.
00:21:13Now I'll be able to see Helen first thing in the morning.
00:21:16Say, George.
00:21:17Yeah?
00:21:18Ha, ha, ha.
00:21:19Say, I was just thinking about that bashful boy.
00:21:21Oh, now, wait a minute.
00:21:25Now, Jeff, this is the panic.
00:21:26Now, listen.
00:21:26Now, listen closely.
00:21:27Now, the boy comes up to the girl and starts to hum.
00:21:30Oh, who cares about that?
00:21:32Oh, now, listen.
00:21:33Then there was Clara Green, the English novel.
00:21:38Here are his letters to her.
00:21:40She can't read them.
00:21:42When that was hushed up, as usual,
00:21:45he swore to me that she'd be the last.
00:21:49Also, as usual.
00:21:51And then you came along.
00:21:54I can't believe this is happening to me.
00:21:57I can't believe it.
00:21:58No, I suppose not.
00:22:00Neither could I the first time it happened.
00:22:03If I could hurt him.
00:22:06Yes.
00:22:07Hurt him.
00:22:08That's it.
00:22:09That's better.
00:22:10I know that feeling, too.
00:22:12That's better.
00:22:13I know.
00:22:15I'll tell him I don't love him anymore.
00:22:18I'll make him suffer.
00:22:19I'll tell him I hate him.
00:22:21No.
00:22:23That's no good.
00:22:25I'll allow him to hear.
00:22:31Where are you going?
00:22:33I'm going to see Ditch.
00:22:34Now, wait a minute.
00:22:35No.
00:22:36I've got to see him.
00:22:38Now, don't.
00:22:38Wait a minute.
00:22:39You can't walk there.
00:22:41Let me send for my car.
00:22:42Oh, I'm sorry.
00:22:44I'm so sorry.
00:22:45That's better.
00:22:48Now, you sit down here.
00:22:51Okay.
00:22:52Now, you wait.
00:22:53I'll get my driver.
00:22:55Now, then, I...
00:23:14It's McDonald's.
00:23:18It's McDonald's.
00:23:21Well, Martin.
00:23:33Yes, Mr. Walker.
00:23:34Let's go to work on that story, eh?
00:23:36I'm beginning to deal in the mood for it.
00:23:39That sounds like an all-night job, sir.
00:23:41Maybe.
00:23:43A good night's work will do me good, sir.
00:23:45Well, that's funny.
00:23:50What time is it?
00:23:51Just, uh, 11.37.
00:23:54Good.
00:23:56Well, let's go.
00:24:03I've got another one.
00:24:04No.
00:24:05Oh, well, if they're going to get mean about it.
00:24:07You're right.
00:24:08And what's that?
00:24:09I don't know what sound of that stuff.
00:24:11Why, it's mine.
00:24:12Oh, look.
00:24:13What's that?
00:24:14What happened?
00:24:14Oh, look.
00:24:17There's blood in his blood.
00:24:18He's hurt.
00:24:19He says, oh, I'll call a doctor.
00:24:21Hurry up.
00:24:21Hurry up.
00:24:22I've got it.
00:24:25Cut to the father.
00:24:29Tears streaming down his face.
00:24:33His lips move, but he cannot speak.
00:24:40Yes, that's it.
00:24:42His lips move.
00:24:44He can't speak, but he cannot speak.
00:24:48All right.
00:24:57All right.
00:25:00Now, then, Bill.
00:25:00Let's have just one camera up there to get a close-up of that fraud.
00:25:03Now then, Bill, let's have just one camera up there
00:25:14to get a close-up of that quarrel scene, will you?
00:25:16Right.
00:25:17How are you, Lord?
00:25:18Why, hello, Tony.
00:25:20How's my favorite author?
00:25:22Lay off, Al, lay off.
00:25:24Say, I'm looking for Helen MacDonald.
00:25:25She's working in your set, isn't she?
00:25:27Yeah, she's here a minute ago.
00:25:30Well, never mind, thanks.
00:25:30I'll find her.
00:25:31Say, now, listen, boys.
00:25:34Let's have a little bit of this excitement music this time, will you?
00:25:39Come on, kid.
00:25:40Now, let's get this scene on.
00:25:41Come on, boys.
00:25:43Now, listen.
00:25:44This is the...
00:25:44Tony, don't!
00:25:46Oh, hello, Helen.
00:25:46I was looking for you.
00:25:48Don't what?
00:25:48Nothing.
00:25:50Well, what's the matter?
00:25:51You're trembling.
00:25:51No, I'm not.
00:25:53Let's go someplace where we can talk.
00:25:54Well, that's a great idea, but why not right here and walk the set?
00:25:57No, Tony, not in there.
00:25:58Well, what are you afraid of?
00:25:59Mr. Barker might not like it.
00:26:02Oh, oh, well, wouldn't that be too bad?
00:26:05I'll grin and see if there's anybody in there.
00:26:06You stay right here and I'll be right out.
00:26:08Tony, please.
00:26:09Action, sir.
00:26:21It's okay.
00:26:22There's nobody in here but me and, uh, another dummy.
00:26:25It's the dummy they were using for that fight the other day.
00:26:28Come on in, Helen.
00:26:33Well, that's funny.
00:26:34Here's the dummy on the floor.
00:26:39Help!
00:26:40Help!
00:26:40Help!
00:26:41Help!
00:26:43Hey, quiet, quiet!
00:26:45Helen, did you know this?
00:26:47No, Tony.
00:26:48How'd they have been there?
00:26:49Dead.
00:26:49No.
00:26:50Get in.
00:26:51Get in.
00:26:51Get in.
00:26:51They can't a racket.
00:26:52Shut up, don't you?
00:26:53Hardell's in there.
00:26:54Dead.
00:26:55What?
00:26:55Did you know that, baby?
00:26:56No, Tony.
00:26:57Oh, come on, you better tell me before the cops get here.
00:26:59All right.
00:27:00Mr. Hemming!
00:27:00Listen, Tom.
00:27:01Mr. Hemming!
00:27:01I came back here last night through a window to see him.
00:27:04Hardell?
00:27:05Yes.
00:27:09Mr. Grant.
00:27:10Yes?
00:27:10They've killed Mr. Hardell.
00:27:12What?
00:27:13Mr. Hardell on stage 10.
00:27:14Somebody got him with a knife.
00:27:15Get police headquartered with a thousand dirt.
00:27:17That's funny, something you know about, huh?
00:27:20Well, he, uh, the excuse was that he wanted to get home for his, uh, dinner.
00:27:23Didn't want to keep his wife waiting.
00:27:25Hello.
00:27:26You've been a Dirk?
00:27:28How can?
00:27:30This is Mr. Grant's office.
00:27:31That's eminent pictures.
00:27:32I can't even have said no about, no.
00:27:33They just found Richard Hardell stabbed to death.
00:27:35Uh, come, Mr. Grant.
00:27:36I'll come myself.
00:27:41Get a hold of Captain Coffin.
00:27:42He's down at Long Beach.
00:27:43He's going to meet me at the eminent studios right away.
00:27:45It's murder.
00:27:46I'll do that, boys.
00:27:46I'll do that, boys.
00:28:16All right, now, sister.
00:28:27Quit stalling.
00:28:28Come on, now.
00:28:28Let's have it.
00:28:29You did it.
00:28:30You know you did it.
00:28:31No, I didn't.
00:28:31I didn't do it.
00:28:32He was dead when I found him.
00:28:34He was dead.
00:28:35And why didn't you holler for help?
00:28:37There was nobody here last night, and I was frightened.
00:28:39Oh, that's it.
00:28:41You was frightened.
00:28:42Yes, I didn't know what I was doing.
00:28:44No, of course not.
00:28:46That's why you came to work this morning and stayed innocent.
00:28:48You didn't know what you was doing, not much.
00:28:51You did it.
00:28:51All right, leave her alone.
00:28:52Concer, the folks, you know what she said.
00:28:53She did it crazy.
00:28:54Say, you button up, will you?
00:28:56You talk too much.
00:28:57You big brute.
00:28:58What's that?
00:28:59You heard me.
00:29:00Say, don't you be calling me names.
00:29:02Oh, pull it in your neck.
00:29:03What?
00:29:04Dirk!
00:29:10Take it easy, Dad.
00:29:11No need to get tough, you know.
00:29:13Sorry, Captain Coffin, but ever since you left,
00:29:16this sap here has been shooting off his face.
00:29:19Well, Ditch, he's privileged.
00:29:21Uh-huh.
00:29:22You big babble.
00:29:24Say, Dirk.
00:29:24All right, Dirk.
00:29:26Anything new from the young lady when I was away?
00:29:29Well, that's just it, Captain.
00:29:30I had her all balled up pretty, and then this dumbhead here.
00:29:33Say, Captain, can't you let her go and talk to me?
00:29:35I'll tell you everything, and she'll talk later.
00:29:38But right now, well, the poor kid's nearly offering nothing.
00:29:40Very well, Mr. White.
00:29:41I ain't quite agree with you.
00:29:42Well, I'll be a...
00:29:44No, I won't either.
00:29:45I sent from one of our masons.
00:29:46Oh, Mr. Bryan.
00:29:47Now, if the young lady doesn't mind.
00:29:49You hear that, Helen?
00:29:50Thanks, Captain.
00:29:51You're okay.
00:29:52Oh, Mr. Bryan.
00:29:53Yes, Captain.
00:29:53This is the girl I told you about.
00:29:55Now, Mr. McDonald.
00:29:57Tell me, baby, you better take her arm.
00:29:58She's pretty wobbly.
00:29:59Come on, honey.
00:29:59I'll be right back in a minute, Captain.
00:30:00All right.
00:30:03I just heard about it and come right over.
00:30:05Well, say, George, will you take Helen and Mr. Bryan
00:30:06and find a taxi for them, please?
00:30:07Sure I will.
00:30:08I'd do anything for Helen.
00:30:09No, thanks.
00:30:10Say, Captain, what's the idea?
00:30:11She was ready to pop.
00:30:12I tell you, I had her dizzy.
00:30:14Yes, a little too dizzy.
00:30:17You know, Dirk, that rough stuff is old-fashioned.
00:30:20It's out.
00:30:21Be nice to people.
00:30:22Handle them easy.
00:30:24You'll go further.
00:30:25Well, now, listen, Captain.
00:30:26Here.
00:30:26Here's the boy.
00:30:28Well, Mr. White?
00:30:29Well, Captain, it's like this.
00:30:30Helen was telling you the truth.
00:30:31She came back through that dressing room window last night to talk to Hardell.
00:30:34Oh.
00:30:34But when she got out here, she found that he was dead.
00:30:36Well, why didn't she...
00:30:37Wait a minute.
00:30:38I'm telling you why.
00:30:40She got out here.
00:30:41It was pretty dark.
00:30:42She saw someone leaving the set, and she thought...
00:30:44Well, she thought it was her father.
00:30:46What?
00:30:47Say, why didn't she say so?
00:30:49Because you would litter, you big goof.
00:30:52That director and his assistant are on the way, Captain.
00:30:54Shall I send them in?
00:30:55Yes, as soon as they get here.
00:30:57I think that'll be all just now, Mr. White.
00:30:58Thanks, Captain.
00:31:00You big baboon.
00:31:02Ah, never mind, Dirk.
00:31:04Got your notebook?
00:31:06Yes, sir.
00:31:06I got it right here.
00:31:09What was that you told me about Borker?
00:31:12Oh.
00:31:12There's a lot of people around here that think that Borker had it in for Hardell on account of Madam Borker.
00:31:18Yes, I remember.
00:31:20Now, before you got here, I asked Borker about that.
00:31:24And he said that last night, Hardell gave him a letter from Madam Borker, which proved that Hardell was okay.
00:31:30You've got the letter?
00:31:31Yes, sir.
00:31:32Got it right here.
00:31:41Now, you can tell from that that Hardell was right.
00:31:45There never was anything between him and Madam Borker.
00:31:49Yes.
00:31:50It couldn't be plainer.
00:31:52Mr. Borker and Mr. Martin, Captain.
00:31:57Oh, good morning.
00:31:59How do you do?
00:32:00Sorry to trouble you, gentlemen, but there's one point, if you don't mind.
00:32:05Not at all.
00:32:06That's really...
00:32:07Mr. Martin, how long did you stay at Mr. Borker's house last night?
00:32:12Well, we must have worked till 4.30.
00:32:16Wouldn't you say so, sir?
00:32:17Yes, at least 4.30.
00:32:21Thanks.
00:32:22I think that'll be all just now.
00:32:24Good morning.
00:32:25Good morning.
00:32:25Oh, Mr. Borker.
00:32:26Yes?
00:32:27One thing more.
00:32:29Your car was found on the street outside Hardell's dressing room this morning.
00:32:32Apparently where he left it.
00:32:34If you don't mind, we'll need it for a day or so.
00:32:36Oh, of course.
00:32:38Is that all?
00:32:39That's all.
00:32:40Except, well, you'd both better be for I can reach you quickly for a few days.
00:32:45You understand, of course.
00:32:47Perfectly.
00:32:48I beg your pardon.
00:32:51All right.
00:32:52Tell me.
00:32:55Were you ever in pictures?
00:32:57What?
00:32:58Me in pictures?
00:32:59Well, I should say enough.
00:33:02What a pity.
00:33:03You know, you have a remarkable face.
00:33:07Say, what is this?
00:33:09Too bad.
00:33:10He's a perfect gangster type, eh?
00:33:12Yes, sir.
00:33:12He is.
00:33:13Yes.
00:33:13Come.
00:33:13Say, what the?
00:33:14Let it go, Dirk.
00:33:16Let it go.
00:33:18I don't like to let any of those highbrows put anything over on me.
00:33:22Tell me.
00:33:24What was the doctor's idea about the time Hardell was killed?
00:33:29Oh, I made a note of that.
00:33:32Got it here somewhere.
00:33:36Where is it?
00:33:37He set the time between 11 and 12.30 last night.
00:33:42Well, that covers Barker for the moment anyway.
00:33:45Unless that assistant is lying.
00:33:47Well, now, from what studio manager says, I don't think so.
00:33:50Now, oh, here's Mr. Grant now.
00:33:52Yes, sir.
00:33:53Mr. Grant, this is Captain Coffin.
00:33:55I need to go, Captain.
00:33:56The Captain wanted to know about young Martin, Mr. Grant.
00:33:59Oh, Martin?
00:34:00Oh, he's a fine boy.
00:34:02Absolutely honest.
00:34:03Absolutely.
00:34:04Well, Lieutenant, that's that.
00:34:06It's a terrible business, Captain.
00:34:08Terrible.
00:34:08But I want to assure you that the studio will give you every cooperation possible.
00:34:13We feel that the whole industry will suffer unless this thing is cleaned up and cleaned up quickly.
00:34:20Yes, I know.
00:34:21You're in a tough spot.
00:34:22If someone is bumped off in any other town, they feature the murder.
00:34:27Out here, they'll feature Hollywood and pictures.
00:34:30Exactly.
00:34:31Well, I guess that's all.
00:34:33Goodbye, Captain.
00:34:33Thank you very much.
00:34:34Goodbye, Mr. Grant.
00:34:35Goodbye, Lieutenant.
00:34:35Goodbye, Mr. Grant.
00:34:40Come in.
00:34:40He is in.
00:34:47Excuse me, Captain.
00:34:48Yes.
00:34:49I couldn't help hearing.
00:34:50And I was just wondering.
00:34:51Yes?
00:34:52Well, I was wondering if Bork had any other letters of his wife that you might look at.
00:34:56Why, I suppose so.
00:34:58What's on your mind?
00:34:59Well, I was just thinking.
00:35:01What with?
00:35:02Say, listen, mastermind.
00:35:04You wouldn't know what it was even if I told you.
00:35:06Is that so?
00:35:08Yes, that's so.
00:35:09Mrs. Hardell wants to see you, Captain.
00:35:11Send her right in.
00:35:13I'll talk to you later, Bork.
00:35:14This way out.
00:35:19Thank you, darling.
00:35:21You big moose.
00:35:24Now that you're out, stay out.
00:35:26Help us, help us.
00:35:27Hey, hey, hey.
00:35:27Mrs. Hardell.
00:35:34Yes.
00:35:35You're Captain Coffin?
00:35:36Yes, Mrs. Hardell.
00:35:38I wanted to speak to you in regard to last night.
00:35:44Yes?
00:35:44I happen to remember that last night at dinner, I gave Mr. Hardell a small vanity case.
00:35:51It had my initials on it.
00:35:53I see.
00:35:54Well?
00:35:55Well, I thought that if one of your men found it, it might look, well...
00:36:01Of course, I understand.
00:36:03I'm glad you told me.
00:36:06Mrs. Hardell.
00:36:07Yes?
00:36:08You'll be at your house if I should need you?
00:36:12Yes, surely.
00:36:15That's all.
00:36:16Goodbye.
00:36:18Goodbye.
00:36:18Well, Dick, what about it?
00:36:26Well, one of our boys found it all right.
00:36:30But it wasn't in his pocket.
00:36:32It was laying on the floor right next to the body.
00:36:35Oh.
00:36:36You know, she might be just trying to alibi herself.
00:36:40She could have croaked Hardell, you know.
00:36:42Dropped the vanity case.
00:36:43Just missed it this morning.
00:36:45It was laying right by the body.
00:36:46Well, what of it?
00:36:49What's that?
00:36:50Supposing it was by the body.
00:36:51It might have slipped out of his pocket.
00:36:52Say, will you get out of here?
00:36:54Sorry.
00:36:59Well, what is it?
00:37:00Well, how do I look?
00:37:02What?
00:37:03Do I look dumb enough or do you think that I ought to put on a...
00:37:07a moth?
00:37:09Say, why do you think you are anyway?
00:37:11Why...
00:37:12I'm Joe First.
00:37:13I'm the comic.
00:37:14I'm the boy that's going to play the cop in Mr. Duncan's pitches.
00:37:16Aren't you Mr. Duncan?
00:37:20No.
00:37:20No?
00:37:22No.
00:37:23Pardon me.
00:37:25I'm on the wrong set.
00:37:29Well, for crying out loud.
00:37:32Telephone for you, Lieutenant.
00:37:38I found this kid on the lot.
00:37:39We're going to look at gag.
00:37:41Raving about Hardell.
00:37:42Says he wants a shooting.
00:37:43What's your name?
00:37:45Ted McDonald.
00:37:45Say, is it true about Hardell?
00:37:49Is he dead?
00:37:50Yes, he's dead.
00:37:52He's dead.
00:37:53Oh, he's dead.
00:37:54And I thought maybe I just dreamed it.
00:37:56Dreamed what?
00:37:57About Hardell and what I did.
00:37:59Oh.
00:38:01Say, what are you trying to make me say anyway?
00:38:03Why, nothing.
00:38:04Nothing at all.
00:38:05You were just telling me.
00:38:07I'm not telling you anything.
00:38:08You're a cop.
00:38:09I know you.
00:38:10All right, O'Hara.
00:38:12I'll talk to him later.
00:38:13Take him along.
00:38:14Okay, Chief.
00:38:14Come on.
00:38:15Come on.
00:38:15Drunk and disorderly.
00:38:18Say, who is that cuckoo?
00:38:19The kid named McDonald.
00:38:21McDonald?
00:38:22Well, that's the watchman's name.
00:38:23Oh.
00:38:24Must be his son.
00:38:26Well, maybe.
00:38:27Anyway, I got word about the watchman.
00:38:29That phone call from Doc Burton.
00:38:31Well, the watchman's sick in bed.
00:38:34Sick as a dog.
00:38:35And Doc said it'd be dangerous to make him talk for two days anyway.
00:38:38That's too bad.
00:38:40I have a hunch we're not going to get very far with this till we talk to that watchman.
00:38:44Hey!
00:38:44You!
00:38:45What kind of?
00:38:45Somebody's shooting!
00:38:46Yes!
00:38:47The kid got away.
00:38:47He got my gun.
00:38:48Come on.
00:38:48Let's go.
00:38:49Where'd he go?
00:38:49Where'd he go?
00:38:50You, Jones.
00:38:50Get the next set.
00:38:51Keep the outside.
00:38:53Oh, I have a voice.
00:38:53Go away.
00:38:54I have a voice.
00:38:55I have a voice.
00:38:56I have a voice.
00:38:57Your eyes open.
00:38:57Oh, he isn't here.
00:38:58He's locked up over here.
00:38:59Come on there.
00:39:00Come on there.
00:39:00Take him up and keep him up.
00:39:03Give me that gun.
00:39:05Say, Ted.
00:39:06What's the big idea?
00:39:07What you do?
00:39:08What are you trying to pull?
00:39:09I'm not pulling anything.
00:39:10And I didn't do anything.
00:39:12Those guys made me sore.
00:39:13That's all.
00:39:15Yeah, I don't blame you.
00:39:15That fat little pinhead gets my go too.
00:39:18Now, don't pull any rock stuff, see?
00:39:19And I'll see if I can kill him out of it for you.
00:39:22Come on, here we go.
00:39:22Stick him up.
00:39:28Got a match, Lieutenant?
00:39:29Well, I'll be up.
00:39:31Thanks, Mike.
00:39:32Oh, that's all right.
00:39:34Well, kid, I guess I'll have to hand it to you.
00:39:35You got the murderer all right.
00:39:37Murderer?
00:39:38That cuckoo?
00:39:39Huh, don't be funny.
00:39:40Well, why ain't he?
00:39:42Oh, I'll explain later.
00:39:43Pinhead.
00:39:44Who's a pinhead?
00:39:44You are.
00:39:45Who is?
00:39:45You are.
00:39:46Who is?
00:39:46You are.
00:39:47I said you were, I mean.
00:39:48There he goes.
00:39:49Get down.
00:39:50Get down.
00:39:50Get down.
00:39:50Get down.
00:39:51Get down.
00:39:51Get down.
00:39:52Get down.
00:39:53Get down.
00:39:53Get down.
00:39:54Get down.
00:39:54Get down.
00:39:54Get down.
00:39:55Get down.
00:39:55Get down.
00:39:56Get down.
00:39:56Get down.
00:39:57Get down.
00:39:57Get down.
00:40:26Hey, Dick.
00:40:26They found the office why I think it's one of the draw there
00:40:56Miss Helens!
00:40:58Yes?
00:41:00He said Captain Coffin would be back in an hour.
00:41:02He's been gone nearly three.
00:41:04Hmm.
00:41:06So he has.
00:41:08Sorry.
00:41:09He must have been delayed.
00:41:11Can't you find out what's happened?
00:41:13How did you find out what happened?
00:41:15How did you find out what happened?
00:41:17How did you find out what happened?
00:41:19How did you find out what happened?
00:41:21How did you find out what happened?
00:41:24How did you find out what happened?
00:41:26How did you find out what happened?
00:41:27No lady, I can't.
00:41:28You see, he's at the hospital with the watchman.
00:41:31And he can't be disturbed.
00:41:33Tony.
00:41:35Will you ask him if he knows how father is?
00:41:38Him?
00:41:40What for?
00:41:42He doesn't know anything.
00:41:43Hey, what's that?
00:41:45Yoo-hoo!
00:41:47Oh, say Mr. Walker.
00:41:50Yes?
00:41:51I didn't get a chance to tell you the other day,
00:41:53but I've got that gag about the bashful boy.
00:41:55Do you like to hear it?
00:41:56And not just now.
00:41:59Oh, all right.
00:42:01But it'll murder you.
00:42:02No doubt.
00:42:11Hey!
00:42:12Cut that out, will you?
00:42:13Do you have to make that noise?
00:42:15Well, as a matter of fact,
00:42:18I do.
00:42:19A couple of men from the newspaper are out here to see you.
00:42:23All right, Barrett.
00:42:24I'll be right out.
00:42:25Say, Dick.
00:42:26These are binding a little.
00:42:27Will you file them?
00:42:28Now, folks, I'll be right outside
00:42:29in case any one of you happen to think of something
00:42:31if you'd like to tell me.
00:42:33Hello, Boyd.
00:42:34Hello, Lieutenant.
00:42:35You just kicked us out at the hospital.
00:42:36But we found out the doctor's going to let Coffin
00:42:37bring that watchman over here.
00:42:38And what's the big idea?
00:42:39Does McDonald know anything?
00:42:40Well, now, you boys better wait until Captain Coffin gets here.
00:42:42Yeah, I know.
00:42:43But what about you?
00:42:44I understand you have a good idea.
00:42:45Well, you boys better wait until Captain Coffin gets here.
00:42:46Yeah, I know.
00:42:47But what about you?
00:42:48Sure, yeah.
00:42:49Sure, yeah.
00:42:50And I'll bet you made them talk to you, old fox.
00:42:51Well, I'll tell you.
00:42:52Of course, the Captain wants to hear what the watchman has to say first.
00:42:55But in fact, they like having one ma'am and one ma'am and one ma'am,
00:42:57have one ma'am and one ma'am done a
00:43:14one.
00:43:16Well there seems to be reasonable.
00:43:18In the meantime...
00:43:19Well, let's have it.
00:43:21Well, in the meantime, I did kind of work them over in there.
00:43:25And confidentially, I wouldn't be a bit surprised
00:43:28if one of them came to that door any minute and spilled the works.
00:43:31No.
00:43:32Say, who do you think it is?
00:43:34Well, now, that would be telling.
00:43:37Stand by, boys.
00:43:38This might be it.
00:43:41Oh, teacher.
00:43:43Well, what do you want?
00:43:45Say, beautiful, did the doctor think it was near 11 or 12?
00:43:48That Hardell was killed.
00:43:49That's none of your business.
00:43:50Thanks.
00:43:52Was that him?
00:43:53Who?
00:43:54Why, the murderer.
00:43:55No.
00:43:56I wish it was.
00:43:58Hello there.
00:43:59Oh, hello, Captain.
00:44:00Anything new at the hospital?
00:44:01Take it easy now.
00:44:02I'll tell you all about it later on.
00:44:08Well, people, you all know that we have learned certain facts
00:44:11about the death of Mr. Hardell.
00:44:13Well, I have every reason to believe that McDonald knows exactly who killed Richard Hardell.
00:44:21Unfortunately for the interests of justice,
00:44:24McDonald's condition has been so critical
00:44:27that the doctor has not allowed us to talk to him.
00:44:30Until today.
00:44:31I have just come from the hospital with McDonald.
00:44:37They are bringing him to this room.
00:44:41All right, Captain.
00:44:43They're here.
00:44:49Father.
00:44:50Quiet there.
00:44:51Mr. McDonald, I want you to look at the group of people around that table.
00:45:08It is our belief that you know who killed Richard Hardell.
00:45:12Is the murderer in that group?
00:45:16I've got nothing to say.
00:45:18What's that?
00:45:18I've got nothing to say.
00:45:21I guess Hardell got what he deserved.
00:45:23Look here, McDonald.
00:45:24You'd better talk.
00:45:26No, I've been thinking.
00:45:29I've got nothing to say.
00:45:31So, that's it.
00:45:34Yes, that's it.
00:45:36McDonald, was the murderer of Richard Hardell one of your children?
00:45:40What?
00:45:41Was it your boy who did it?
00:45:43Was it Ted McDonald?
00:45:44You can't hang my son for that.
00:45:48Yes.
00:45:49Yes?
00:45:50Water.
00:45:51Yes.
00:45:51Yes.
00:45:52Yes.
00:45:52Yes.
00:45:52Yes.
00:45:52Yes.
00:46:05Yes.
00:46:05Well, he's dead.
00:46:06Oh, Father.
00:46:07Oh, Father.
00:46:07No.
00:46:08Oh, Father.
00:46:08No.
00:46:09Father, see me.
00:46:10See if this has anything to do with it.
00:46:12See me.
00:46:13Mommy.
00:46:13Mommy.
00:46:14Mommy.
00:46:15I thought so.
00:46:17Lock that door.
00:46:19Stand up, all of you.
00:46:21You.
00:46:23Lieutenant.
00:46:25Why, she killed him right in front of you.
00:46:27And you stood there.
00:46:29I tell you, she did it.
00:46:31She did it.
00:46:33I saw her with that flash.
00:46:35Father.
00:46:41Is that it, Doctor?
00:46:45Enough to kill a dozen men.
00:46:49All right, boys.
00:46:51Well, Mrs. Hardell.
00:46:53No, no, it isn't mine.
00:46:55No, it isn't hers. It's mine.
00:46:57Yours? Where did you get it?
00:46:59Come on now, answer up. Where did you get it?
00:47:01Oh, now listen, Vivi, you've got to explain that.
00:47:03Now you can talk to me, can't you? Now just go right ahead and tell me everything.
00:47:05Why did you get that poison?
00:47:07That night, the night she told me about Dick.
00:47:09Dick?
00:47:11Yes. I was going to kill myself.
00:47:13Oh, I wish I had.
00:47:17Oh, Tony.
00:47:18Don't look at me like that.
00:47:20You don't think I did it.
00:47:21I didn't do it, Tony.
00:47:23I didn't do it.
00:47:24You know I didn't.
00:47:25Oh, my.
00:47:26It's going to be all right.
00:47:28Everything's going to be all right.
00:47:29Now, hush.
00:47:30It's going to be all right.
00:47:31Don't touch me.
00:47:32I didn't do it, Tony.
00:47:33It's all right.
00:47:34I didn't do it.
00:47:35I didn't do it.
00:47:36Read all about it.
00:47:38Big arrest and act of society murder.
00:47:40Watchmen thought of jail.
00:47:42Hey, extra.
00:47:43Read all about it here.
00:47:44Extra.
00:47:45Thank you, lady.
00:47:46Extra.
00:47:47Read all about the big murder here.
00:47:48The big movie murder.
00:47:49Extra.
00:47:50Read all about it here.
00:47:51Hey, it's a...
00:47:52Why, she didn't do that.
00:47:53That was Donald.
00:47:54What happened to Donald?
00:48:24Have you reached a verdict?
00:48:28We have.
00:48:30What is your finding?
00:48:32We find the defendant guilty as charged,
00:48:34without any recommendation.
00:48:38Poor little kid, that's terrible.
00:48:41Terrible nothing.
00:48:43She killed him, and I hope they hang her.
00:48:46Quiet, please.
00:48:54Helen MacDonald, the jury has found you guilty.
00:49:01You will appear in this courtroom on February the 4th
00:49:05at 10 o'clock for sentence.
00:49:11Now, here's the idea, Captain.
00:49:13Now, think back to the night of the murder.
00:49:14Yes.
00:49:15You remember that Mrs. Hardell said that that night
00:49:17she left her house looking for Helen,
00:49:19was gone 15 minutes, and couldn't find her?
00:49:21Yes, I remember.
00:49:22Well, I talked to Mrs. Hardell's maid yesterday,
00:49:25and as a matter of fact, that night
00:49:27she didn't come back for over an hour.
00:49:29I see.
00:49:29Now, I wonder if you couldn't have one of your men
00:49:30check up with Mrs. Hardell's story.
00:49:32It might not lead to anything,
00:49:33but I'm fighting for Helen,
00:49:34and I'd hate to give any hunch to go by.
00:49:36All right, Tony.
00:49:37I promised I'd help you.
00:49:39Thanks, Captain.
00:49:39You've certainly been great about this.
00:49:41Oh, and one other thing.
00:49:43Say, did your handwriting guy see those letters
00:49:44of Madame Borker's?
00:49:45Yes.
00:49:46I got three that she'd written to Borker,
00:49:48and Docherty compared them this morning
00:49:50with that letter she wrote to Hardell.
00:49:51What'd he say?
00:49:53He said it's hard to tell
00:49:54if they're all written by the same person or not.
00:49:56Uh-uh.
00:49:56Then the one to Hardell might be a forgery.
00:49:58Yes.
00:49:59What's your idea about that, anyway?
00:50:01It wasn't even an idea, Captain.
00:50:02Just another hunch.
00:50:04Oh, say, here comes Helen now.
00:50:06Can I see an etiquette?
00:50:07You bet.
00:50:08Call me up.
00:50:08Thanks.
00:50:09So long.
00:50:11Hello, Helen.
00:50:12Hello, Tony.
00:50:13It was dear of you to come.
00:50:15Sure, I know.
00:50:16I'm great.
00:50:17In fact, I'm the greatest little guy in the world.
00:50:19But...
00:50:19Uh-uh, mister.
00:50:20But let's all talk about that until after we're married.
00:50:26Why, Tony.
00:50:27Sure.
00:50:28Didn't you know about it?
00:50:29Why, it's all set for the day after you get out of here.
00:50:32Oh, Tony.
00:50:33Please.
00:50:34Oh, I'm sorry.
00:50:36I guess possibly that last crack of mine
00:50:38was a little out of line.
00:50:39But no kidding, baby.
00:50:40I'm going to get the goods and the real murderer
00:50:42and have you out of this place in less than a week.
00:50:44That's a promise.
00:50:45Why, you poor funny kid.
00:50:47You really believe that, don't you?
00:50:49Believe it?
00:50:50I know it.
00:50:51Say, listen to me, baby.
00:50:54Oh, I picked a great spot to tell you in.
00:50:57But you've got to know something.
00:50:58I love you.
00:51:01Tony.
00:51:01I love you so much that sometimes I think...
00:51:04Sometimes I think I'm going to be a mother.
00:51:06Tony.
00:51:08You're so funny.
00:51:11Oh, I think I'm going to cry.
00:51:14Oh, don't do that.
00:51:15Oh, no.
00:51:16Now, Helen, don't cry.
00:51:17Oh, say, make them give me a break, will you?
00:51:18Can't I just touch her once?
00:51:20Sorry.
00:51:20But you know the rules.
00:51:22Oh, listen, baby.
00:51:22Don't cry, please.
00:51:24I'll tell you something funny.
00:51:25I'll make you laugh.
00:51:27Did I ever tell you my gag about the bashful boy?
00:51:29It's a wow.
00:51:30Now, the boy is bashful, shy kinder.
00:51:32You know what I mean?
00:51:32So, so he gets the...
00:51:34He gets his parrot to tell the girl, see?
00:51:37He has a parrot, so he gets the parrot to tell the girl.
00:51:41Now, did you ever hear the one?
00:51:47Good morning.
00:51:48You've been on a big mob there with...
00:51:50Good afternoon, Mr. White.
00:51:52Nice day.
00:51:54Huh?
00:51:54I said it's a nice day.
00:51:56I'll be silly.
00:51:57It's going to rain cats and dogs.
00:51:58Oh, I don't know, Mr. White.
00:51:59This is California, you know.
00:52:02Sure, I know.
00:52:03Last year, I wore hip boots so long.
00:52:04My family thought I was a flood sufferer.
00:52:06Oh, yes, but last year,
00:52:07it was very unusual.
00:52:09Sure.
00:52:10So are you.
00:52:15Camera.
00:52:16Well, what do you know, mister?
00:52:17I know that you owe me 30 cents.
00:52:19That's what I know.
00:52:20Well, never mind about the 30 cents.
00:52:23For instance now, what are the five cents?
00:52:25A nickel, and you owe me six.
00:52:27I do not.
00:52:28I don't get sorry now.
00:52:30Do you know anything about grammar?
00:52:32Ain't seen her all day.
00:52:33Don't put on an old phone like that, young man.
00:52:36I don't want to hear you do it again.
00:52:38For instance, the vowels are A-E-I-O-U.
00:52:41I know it.
00:52:42That's what I didn't try to tell you all night.
00:52:44I say, go ahead.
00:52:46A-E-U-O-N-E 30 cents.
00:52:49I've heard you say, go ahead.
00:52:57Master.
00:52:58Now, at this rate,
00:52:58watch me spend a little bit of time taking care of...
00:52:59Iasures my son to death.
00:53:00You're right.
00:53:00When I dansiced baby,
00:53:02I don't know where my son is that 30 cents a day.
00:53:04Let's take my son to death,
00:53:06you're in love.
00:53:08I larvae.
00:53:09You're in love.
00:53:10I never beast,
00:53:12you're in love.
00:53:12You have to pay my son of my son.
00:53:13I wonder how you walk up,
00:53:15but I don't know you.
00:53:16I'm constantly hungry.
00:53:16Hello?
00:53:26Tony White talking, Mr. Grant. I just had a brainstorm. I think I've got it.
00:53:30You mean you have a new angle on the murder?
00:53:32No, but I've got a new angle on that bashful boy gag.
00:53:35Oh, come now, Tony.
00:53:37Well, I have. Now, suppose the boy was in vaudeville.
00:53:40Suppose he was a ventiloquist.
00:53:42He could get his doll to tell the girl he loved her. Don't you see?
00:53:45Now, wait a minute, Tony. That whole gag is out.
00:53:48What do you mean, it's out?
00:53:49Well, Borker got temperamental, and I closed production on the picture,
00:53:52and he's going back to Europe.
00:53:54In fact, he leaves for New York tomorrow.
00:53:56Boy, just when I think of a hot one like that, I...
00:54:04Say, Christmas, what a dummy I've been!
00:54:06The murder! The murder! I've got that, too!
00:54:09Why, it's a pipe! I'll be right over!
00:54:15Cuz a dobry plant!
00:54:19Can you see us?
00:54:20Gavin, captain Coffin, captain.
00:54:21Wagg機會!
00:54:24There it is.
00:54:26Sure a lot.
00:54:30Hello, hello. Give me Captain Coffin, professor.
00:54:31Quick!
00:54:33Hello.
00:54:34Hello, Captain Coffin.
00:54:35No. Lieutenant, Sirk!
00:54:38Hello.
00:54:39Hello, Captain Coppin.
00:54:40Hello.
00:54:41Lieutenant Derrick.
00:54:43Hello.
00:54:44I've got the murder pinhead.
00:54:45What's that?
00:54:46Who's this talking?
00:54:47This is Tony White talking.
00:54:48Now, don't interrupt me.
00:54:49Well, I tell you, I got the Hardell murder.
00:54:51Now, listen.
00:54:52I hear it by luck.
00:54:53Purely.
00:54:54It's been church with us.
00:54:55Yeah, I know that sounds funny, but I'll explain later.
00:54:57Now, now, don't interrupt and I'll give you the whole dope.
00:54:59Names and everything.
00:55:00Hey, wait a minute, will you?
00:55:01The wind's blowing everything all over my desk and the rain's coming in.
00:55:03Hello, Derrick.
00:55:05Captain.
00:55:06That fresh guy, White, on the wire.
00:55:08Claims he's got the dope on the Hardell murder.
00:55:10He has.
00:55:18Hello.
00:55:19Hello.
00:55:21He's hung up.
00:55:22That's funny.
00:55:23He was all hopped up a minute ago.
00:55:24Ring for my car and we'll jump up town and see what he's got.
00:55:29Now, listen, Bright Eyes.
00:55:30Don't interrupt.
00:55:31Just listen.
00:55:32Now, suppose Borka thought Hardell was lying about that letter.
00:55:34And as they were walking across the stage to get the car, Borka saw that dummy, thought
00:55:38of a way to kill Hardell and create for himself a perfect alibi.
00:55:42All right, he did it.
00:55:43He killed Hardell with that knife and put the body in the chair.
00:55:46Now, make a picture in your mind of that.
00:55:48Borka picked up the dummy and left the set.
00:55:51McDonald saw him leaving.
00:55:53Turned, saw the body, touched it, and nearly passed out.
00:55:58The shot nearly finished him and he didn't come to until later when Helen saw him leaving
00:56:02the set.
00:56:03And naturally thought that he had killed Hardell.
00:56:05Now, then, Borka went and put the dummy in the car.
00:56:08After he got it all set, he drove to the front gate.
00:56:11And there he used his ventriloquism to make the dummy say good night to me and the watchman.
00:56:16Then he drove home.
00:56:17And at the house, he pulled the same gag on Martin, his assistant.
00:56:20Now, after Martin goes in the house, Borka drives the car into the garage with the dummy in it.
00:56:24You see?
00:56:25Then he came back in the house and there he worked with Martin, as he said, until 4.30.
00:56:30Now, after Martin had gone home, Borka goes to the garage, gets the car out, and drives to the studio.
00:56:35Climbs in through that dressing room window and puts the dummy on the set.
00:56:39Comes back out, goes home, and forges that letter from Madame Borka.
00:56:43How's that, Pinhead?
00:56:47Hello, hello.
00:56:48Oh, he's cut me off of big baboon.
00:56:54Let's go.
00:56:55See you.
00:57:02Come on, my man.
00:57:04I'm caught on my way.
00:57:05Come on, let's go.
00:57:06Let's go.
00:57:07Come on, come on, let's go.
00:57:09Come on.
00:57:10Come on.
00:57:11Come on, Mr. George.
00:57:12Let's go.
00:57:13Put that gun out.
00:57:14It's right.
00:57:15It's right.
00:57:16It's not.
00:57:17I don't think so.
00:57:18It's too western-looking.
00:57:19It's not majority.
00:57:20Yes, boy.
00:57:22I don't think so.
00:57:23You've got too much brains to let the world know you murdered Richard Hardell.
00:57:27Thank you, Mr. White.
00:57:29But if you force me to kill you, I will put this revolver in your hands.
00:57:34Walk through that window and down the fire escape.
00:57:38Quick fade out.
00:57:39Next, headlines in the morning papers.
00:57:43Everyone will greatly regret the unfortunate suicide of Mr. Tony White,
00:57:48heartbroken over the unhappy fate of his sweetheart.
00:57:52You're not going to let them sentence that girl, Walker. It's not human.
00:57:58On the contrary, self-preservation is the first law of nature, my boy.
00:58:02You've got a kid like that. An innocent kid!
00:58:08I suppose if you were in my place, you would give yourself up.
00:58:12Of course I would. Anybody would.
00:58:14Really? It is quite simple.
00:58:17You write the confession of the murder and swallow this.
00:58:23I assure you, it is quite fatalist.
00:58:26In fact, you saw the results on McDonald's.
00:58:33Did you kill him too?
00:58:34That's right.
00:58:35Now, Mr. White, let us see if you are as clever as I think you are.
00:58:41If I kill you with this as I first intended, nothing will save Helen.
00:58:46You write the confession and she will go free.
00:58:49Compared with a bullet, the poison is really quite delightful.
00:58:56Give me a pencil.
00:58:58No, no, no. Use your own.
00:59:21Doesn't Tony answer?
00:59:22No, sir. His phone must be out of order.
00:59:25Let's go and see what has happened to him. Hurry up.
00:59:27Yes, sir.
00:59:43There you are.
00:59:50Now, if you don't mind...
00:59:57What's the matter with Mr. White?
00:59:58Why, he is low in his mind, that is all.
00:59:59He thought he had a new one.
01:00:00He is low in his mind, that is all.
01:00:01He thought he had a new one.
01:00:02What's the matter with Mr. White?
01:00:03What's the matter with Mr. White?
01:00:04Why, he is low in his mind, that is all.
01:00:05He thought he had a new angle on the murder, but he was wrong.
01:00:09Weren't you, Tony?
01:00:10Yeah, all wrong.
01:00:11All right, I'll tell Mr. Grant.
01:00:12All right, I'll tell Mr. Grant.
01:00:13Yeah, tell him I could bump myself off.
01:00:14Now, don't talk like that, Tony.
01:00:15You'll be all right.
01:00:16You'll be all right.
01:00:17No kidding.
01:00:18I mean it.
01:00:19He will be all right.
01:00:20I will bring him around.
01:00:21All right, Mr. Polk.
01:00:22What's the matter with Mr. White?
01:00:23Why, he is low in his mind, that is all.
01:00:26He thought he had a new angle on the murder, but he was wrong.
01:00:29Weren't you, Tony?
01:00:30Yeah, all wrong.
01:00:31All right, I'll tell Mr. Grant.
01:00:34Yeah, tell him I could bump myself off.
01:00:37Now, don't talk like that, Tony.
01:00:38You'll be all right.
01:00:39No kidding.
01:00:40I mean it.
01:00:41He will be all right.
01:00:42I will bring him around.
01:00:43All right, Mr. Polk.
01:01:07Let's go.
01:01:37Get away with a thing like this.
01:01:44Get back.
01:01:45Get back.
01:01:56Get up.
01:02:05Get out.
01:02:06Get out.
01:02:07Get that gun, Captain.
01:02:08I got it.
01:02:09You got it.
01:02:10You got it.
01:02:13All right, Captain.
01:02:14Hold it.
01:02:15You got it.
01:02:16Hurry, Dennis.
01:02:17You'll find the poison somewhere on the desk that he used on McDonald's.
01:02:21Thanks, Mike.
01:02:22Say, Pinhead, call up my gun at the jail, will you?
01:02:24And tell her to get ready for a fade out?
01:02:29Well, I...
01:02:30Well, I don't care if I do.
01:02:37You got my message.
01:02:39Yes.
01:02:40Oh, baby.
01:02:41Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby.
01:02:44Say, I found out how that bachelor boy tells the girl he loves her.
01:02:47How?
01:02:48Like this.
01:02:50Like this.
01:02:51Like this.
01:02:52Oh, baby, baby.
01:02:53Where the Every Coming
01:02:58answered my wrist.
01:02:59Yeah.
01:03:00Halt.
01:03:02Hold it.
01:03:03Come, John.
01:03:04pissed off me.
01:03:05Didn't think a lad out of Mutal?
01:03:06That's good.
01:03:08TeamSTR made?
01:03:08Yeah, didn't think a lad, all right.
01:03:09It didn't desert the 55th.
01:03:10Does that do it anymore?
01:03:11Then, I nag him up the little hump.
