- 0:01 All right.
- 1:22 Shh.
- 1:28 Well...
- 1:29 Come in, Miss Bradley.
- 1:32 Make sure those negatives are in here too.
- 1:40 Yeah.
- 1:45 The Herald stands pretty well on the police run, Johnny, so I don't think you'll have much difficulty contacting the various departments.
- 1:50 These cops are good guys, but they got belly aches like you and me, so name them and give them a break whenever you can. They pay cops off with peanuts the way they do newspaper men.
- 1:58 No! I want you to get it off without breaking it.
- 2:01 Your wife can't steal your car. That's community property. Yeah, I know, Chief. Well, she done took it.
- 2:08 Out of the community?
- 2:11 Come on, Johnny. I want you to meet the lieutenant. He's a good egg.
- 2:15 What do you like to do?
- 2:17 Dance?
- 2:18 Harry James? - Sure.
- 2:20 Or why don't you turn on the radio in one of your homes?
- 2:23 Pick yourself some donuts and coffee and stuff.
- 2:26 Hang out in a joint like the one Carrie pulled you out of will buy you nothing but trouble.
- 2:31 - Carey, see if these two girls get home, will you? - Yes, sir.
- 2:34 Hiya, Sam. Hello, Oppenheimer. Hi. Meet Johnny Williams, the herald's gift to the police department. This is Lieutenant Carson, Sergeant Oppenheimer. Hi, young fella. It's sure nice to meet you guys. You'll love him when you get to know him better.

- 2:47 Johnny's fixing to clean up the department. I thought you ought to look him over. Oh, cut it out.
- 2:50 The Herald is a good paper, Johnny. That's the best paper in town, Lieutenant. The Herald has ideals.
- 2:55 Only the truth is kept to print.
- 2:57 I wish I could say as much for that rag of yours, Ames. Thanks, Lieutenant. Lieutenant.
- 3:00 It's your first day on the police run, Johnny? Yeah.
- 3:03 I hope I don't pull any boners.
- 3:04 You won't.
- 3:06 Drop around to see me any time you feel like it.
- 3:08 Maybe I'll come up with a scoop one of these days just to keep Ames and the rest of those pelicans in line. Yeah, that'd be great, Lieutenant. Gee, I sure need one. Come on, Johnny, meet the rest of the Ames. Okay, I'll see you later. All right. Bye.
- 3:19 It's a tough assignment for that nice kid. Oh, I won't hurt him.
- 3:23 Won't do us any harm either.
- 3:25 I'll go down to Dutchman's for an exam. I'll go along with you.
- 3:57 You take all day. Come on, will you? Hurry. Boys, meet Johnny Williams of the Herald. This is what you tell me. I have no city news, Burris Archer. Don't get up, gentlemen.
- 4:09 Well, is this a gag?
- 4:27 Walter Bard.
- 4:29 Runs a private detective agency in the Ecuador building.
- 4:31 They picked a fine spot to dump him.
- 4:34 It's like somebody's trying to give the department of business.
- 4:36 Get going up, Homer.
- 4:47 Precious sakes alive, it's Mr. Bard.
- 4:51 Do you know anything about this?
- 4:52 Not me. Not me.
- 4:55 I just sell him...
- 4:56 flowers.
- 5:04 Take this into the desk. Right.
- 5:08 Hey, Sam!
- 5:10 What have you got?
- 5:11 What do you think?
- 5:12 Hey, Sam Carson's first gonna step on the sidewalk in front of the station. That's the name of the game, gin. Don't forget you owe me two bits.
- 5:21 Check this gun with ballistics as soon as you can, then have the car going over for free. Hey, Sam, who's the... Hey, it's Waller Barton. Dumped right in front of his face. Couldn't get any closer. Boy, there's going to be a stink about this.
- 5:32 He was mixed up in politics, wasn't he?
- 5:34 He was mixed up on everything.
- 5:36 He's been asking for something like this for a long time.
- 5:39 What's the matter, Johnny?
- 5:40 I never saw a dead man before.
- 5:45 Come on, son. Give me Charlie to make it snack. Hold on to your wig, Charlie. Come here.
- 5:50 Walter Barth, the private eye, was just found shot to death in his car, right at the front door of the joint.
- 5:54 Evidently a definite slap of the present administration. You can call it a culmination of the hoodlum war that's been going on.
- 6:00 Yeah. Say that it's Gangland's despairing reply to the vigilance of the police. Huh?
- 6:06 Sure, play it up big. Lay it on thick.
- 6:08 Everybody's going to be taking pot shots at the administration over this little deal, and the Express is its only friend.
- 6:15 Oppenheimer, go up to Robard's apartment. Bring back any letters or photographs that might look hot.
- 6:20 God bless you.
- 6:21 See if you can get Bart's wife on the phone.
- 6:23 Talk to the janitor and neighbors. Get a line on any recent visitors. Okay, Lieutenant. Harper, you chase up to Bard's office in the equitable building. Go through his desk and files. Check his appointment calendar. Yes, sir.
- 6:34 Lieutenant, I just happened to think. Bart used to hang out at Tony's on 2nd Street quite a lot. Good idea.
- 6:40 Say, Wilson.
- 6:41 Go over there and ask Tony if Bart met anyone there tonight. Then give Oppenheimer a hand if he needs you. Right.
- 6:47 Yes?
- 6:48 Mrs. Barthas, National Lieutenant.
- 6:50 She's probably sleeping. Keep on trying.
- 6:52 Okay.
- 6:57 Hey, Dan. Johnny, this is Daniel Boone Wintergreen. He covers police for The Sun. Also has the policy corner on the side.
- 7:06 Meet Johnny Williams of the Herald. Pleasure to meet you, my boy. I can see that you'll be a welcome contrast to the riffraff that infests this mortuary. Thank you.
- 7:13 When will you get rid of that trophy you got on?
- 7:16 Sir, this buffalo coat belonged to my grandfather, Daniel Boone Wintergreen.
- 7:20 nor an Indian fighter. Nothing would persuade me to partner with it.
- 7:24 except a temporary shortage of funds.
- 7:26 Are you in need of a good overcoat, Mr. Williams? Hey, lay off him, Wintergreen.
- 7:29 On a hot day, that coat gets higher than the stockyards in the south wind.
- 7:41 Come in, Doc.
- 7:42 Here it is, Sam.
- 7:43 The bullet went clean through him, smashed the fifth rib.
- 7:46 Have you boys found it yet?
- 7:47 In the front seat of Hull Street.
- 7:48 Discharge from the gun that was in the car? Mm-hmm. His own.
- 7:52 There were plenty of powder burns, Sam. Could have been suicide.
- 7:55 Not a chance, Doc. The boys at the desk would have heard the shot.
- 7:59 Somebody was driven there in Bart's car and left there.
- 8:01 Oh, I'm sure you're right, Sam. Do you think someone's trying to discredit us in the administration?
- 8:05 Could be.
- 8:08 Holy mackerel.
- 8:14 That girl couldn't be mixed up in this case.
- 8:16 Well, this is very interesting.
- 8:19 The daughter of Luther Bradley, the reformed candidate for mayor. Boy, what the Express will do with this.
- 8:25 Send Brewer in.
- 8:27 Must be some of the Bradley. Somehow I don't think it is. Why?
- 8:30 The famous Calvert Luck, my boy.
- 8:33 Brewer, you and Robbins go out to the Luther Bradley house on Carlisle.
- 8:37 That's for Miss Janet Bradley.
- 8:39 Tell her you'd appreciate it if she'd come back with you.
- 8:41 We want to ask her a few questions. - Okay. - Handle her carefully.
- 8:45 All we want is a cooperation. Stress that, Brewer.
- 8:47 Yes?
- 8:49 Mrs. Byers still doesn't answer.
- 8:51 Keep trying.
- 8:55 Express.
- 8:56 I want to speak to Mr. Calvert. Very important.
- 8:58 It's Dr. Yeager talking.
- 9:01 Hello?
- 9:02 Yeah, this is cover.
- 9:05 Oh, hello, Doc. What's on your mind?
- 9:08 All aboard.
- 9:10 Sure I know him.
- 9:12 Well, who shot him?
- 9:13 I don't know.
- 9:14 But his body was found in his own car right in front of the police station here.
- 9:18 That's right, the police station.
- 9:20 And get this, Mr. Calvert.
- 9:22 There was a notation in Bard's memorandum book that he had an appointment with Janet Bradley this evening.
- 9:27 Luther Bradley's daughter?
- 9:29 Are you sure?
- 9:33 Oh, this is beautiful.
- 9:38 Look, Doc, you stay there and keep your eyes open.
- 9:40 I'll keep in touch with you.
- 9:41 Oh, I'll be right here, Mr. Calvert. You can count on me.
- 9:45 Bye-bye.
- 10:04 This is Miss Bradley, Lieutenant. Lieutenant Carson.
- 10:06 How do you do?
- 10:08 Sorry we had to bring you out this hour of the night, Mr. Bradley.
- 10:11 Sit down, please.
- 10:16 What do you know about a man named Walter Bard?
- 10:19 You know him?
- 10:21 Knew him.
- 10:22 He was murdered this evening.
- 10:25 Oh.
- 10:26 In his own car, shot.
- 10:29 I found him about 11:45 in front of this police station.
- 10:32 You did know it.
- 10:34 Yes, I knew him.
- 10:36 Seen him recently?
- 10:38 This evening.
- 10:39 I had an appointment with him at his apartment.
- 10:42 Were you a friend of his, Miss Bradley?
- 10:44 No.
- 10:45 Suppose you tell me why you went to see him.
- 10:49 I'm sorry I can't.
- 10:51 Private?
- 10:55 If not so good.
- 10:59 Is your father still in Washington?
- 11:02 Yes, he'll be back on Monday in time for the election.
- 11:05 This murder could prove very embarrassing for your father, Miss Bradley.
- 11:09 A dead body on your doorstep could prove embarrassing for the department too, Lieutenant Carson.
- 11:14 Maybe.
- 11:15 Do you mind if we take your fingerprints?
- 11:18 Is that necessary?
- 11:19 Well, it's a routine we follow, but of course we'd rather not.
- 11:23 Very well.
- 11:24 Thank you. This way, please.
- 11:28 Now the right hand.
- 11:33 That's fine.
- 11:35 You can wipe off your hands with this.
- 11:39 My photograph next, Lieutenant.
- 11:42 Sittings by appointment only.
- 11:44 That's all there is to it.
- 11:50 I'll be fast fired up, Herman.
- 11:55 It will take a few minutes to make comparisons. You don't mind waiting.
- 11:59 - Of course not. - Right in there.
- 12:03 You're being swell about this.
- 12:12 Yes?
- 12:13 Max covered to see you.
- 12:15 Sign them in.
- 12:16 Thanks, Sam.
- 12:19 I just thought I'd drop in and say hello. I figured you'd be around.
- 12:22 Well, I don't wonder you're sore, Sam.
- 12:25 Someone giving the police department the business, huh?
- 12:28 The administration too.
- 12:29 The administration's your problem.
- 12:31 Ah, now, that's not the attitude it takes, Sam.
- 12:34 Don't forget, we got an election coming up next Tuesday.
- 12:36 I'm a policeman, not a politician.
- 12:39 I know, but a politician sometimes could do a lot for a policeman, Sam.
- 12:44 I understand you got the Bradley girl down here.
- 12:47 So you know all about that, huh?
- 12:49 Well, people usually cooperate with me, Sam.
- 12:52 She was with Bard this evening, wasn't she?
- 12:54 I'm not making any statements. And when I do, the Express will get it, along with the other papers.
- 12:59 Well, you're not letting a pretty face affect your better judgment, are you, Sam? I'm not letting that tablo to yours spare that girl's reputation so you can stop Luther Bradley on Tuesday.
- 13:07 Well, the public has a right to know the facts express Princeton.
- 13:10 Yeah.
- 13:11 Anything for a nickel.
- 13:15 Look, Sam.
- 13:17 How long have you had this job?
- 13:18 Long enough.
- 13:20 When you first came into this department, I was still on the police run for the Express.
- 13:25 Now I own it.
- 13:27 While we're looking around, look at Mike Shea there.
- 13:30 Mike was your type of cop, he never played ball. So what did it get him?
- 13:35 A load of lead in the belly.
- 13:37 You should be smart, Sam.
- 13:43 Look.
- 13:44 Is Bradley anything to you?
- 13:47 No.
- 13:48 Well, Jordan's on his way out.
- 13:50 How would you like to be chief?
- 13:53 I'd like it.
- 13:54 You know that, Calvert.
- 13:56 Could be arranged.
- 13:57 How?
- 13:58 Well, if this Bradley girl were booked...
- 14:00 It might please some very important people very much.
- 14:03 And they might be willing to do a lot for you.
- 14:05 There isn't a particle of evidence against her.
- 14:08 Well, no one would criticize you if you'd book her anyway.
- 14:10 Not suspicion or material witness, anything you like.
- 14:14 Until after the elections.
- 14:16 Then let her go.
- 14:17 She'll be all right.
- 14:19 Do that and you'll have a grand jury investigation right in your lap. Oh, Sam, now don't look at it that way.
- 14:25 Why, a week after the election, the whole thing will be completely forgotten.
- 14:30 Think about it.
- 14:33 Don't forget, Sam, it always pays to cooperate.
- 14:38 Always taste.
- 15:00 Great guy, wasn't in one time.
- 15:02 He sure was.
- 15:03 I guess he was just about the greatest cop this city ever had. Yeah, I wanted to get him.
- 15:07 Lieutenant, I've got something to show you.
- 15:09 See you, William.
- 15:14 What'd you find in Bard's apartment?
- 15:16 Cigarette butts in the ashtray with two different shades of lipstick.
- 15:19 Two glasses with prints on both.
- 15:22 Prints on the gun.
- 15:23 On one of the glasses?
- 15:25 And Miss Bradley's fingerprints, all checked.
- 15:31 Looks like an open and shut case, Lieutenant.
- 15:36 Bring Miss Bradley in, Sergeant.
- 15:42 The lieutenant would like to see you, Miss Bradley.
- 15:51 All right, Oppenheimer.
- 15:55 Miss Bradley, we found your fingerprints on a highball glass in Barr's apartment.
- 15:59 Oh, yes, he poured a drink for me, but I set it down without tasting it.
- 16:03 We also found your fingerprints on the gun with which Bart was shot.
- 16:09 All right. I'll tell you exactly what did.
- 16:18 I went to see Bart on behalf of someone who is very close to me.
- 16:23 Someone whom he was trying to blackmail.
- 16:25 He made a business of buying and selling information about people.
- 16:30 especially about those who had built honest lives after making a bad start.
- 16:34 problem.
- 16:36 He had come to me with certain information. He wanted $20,000 for it, but...
- 16:42 I'd been able to raise only ten.
- 16:53 Well?
- 16:54 Come in, Miss Bradley.
- 17:02 Won't you sit down? I'll fix you a drink. Oh, I really don't care for one. Thank you. Thank you.
- 17:06 Absolutely.
- 17:06 Very nice birthday.
- 17:26 Cigarette. Thank you.
- 17:32 Well?
- 17:34 I simply haven't been able to raise that much money, Mr. Boyd.
- 17:37 How much have you raised?
- 17:38 Ten thousand.
- 17:40 And I said 20.
- 17:42 Well...
- 17:43 That settles that. Oh, please. Won't you give me a little more time? Look, Miss Bradley, you're stalling.
- 17:48 You either haven't got the money or you won't go to the one who has got it.
- 17:51 I'm holding a powerhouse.
- 17:53 Newspaper clippings.
- 17:54 Letters, affidavits, photographs.
- 17:56 Enough dynamite to blow the lid a mile high.
- 17:59 And I've got a cash customer who'll pay $20,000 in the morning.
- 18:04 I suppose it would be useless to appeal to your sense of decency.
- 18:07 completely you see I have been since I put on long pants.
- 18:11 And I've been called all the names, Miss Bradley.
- 18:13 I can believe that. But I do know when a girl needs a drink.
- 18:18 Take it. You look shaky.
- 18:26 Now, give me that envelope.
- 18:37 - Do find them all there. - Don't move.
- 18:40 I'd rather enjoy putting an end to your activities.
- 18:47 Stay where you are.
- 18:51 He was very much alive when I left him, Lieutenant.
- 18:55 Miss Bradley...
- 18:56 You expect me to believe that Chis will let you take those papers away from him?
- 19:00 But I...
- 19:01 I've told you the exact truth. What happened to the gun?
- 19:04 I threw it in his car when I left.
- 19:06 What did you do with the envelope?
- 19:07 Burned it as soon as I got home. What was in it?
- 19:10 I can't possibly tell you.
- 19:12 It must have been hot if Bart wanted that kind of dough for her.
- 19:15 Holding back now won't do you a bit of good.
- 19:17 What was it about, your father?
- 19:19 It's no use asking me. What was in it?
- 19:22 Dirt bar that dug up...
- 19:24 Something Calvert could use?
- 19:27 Let me help you.
- 19:28 You couldn't make a deal with them.
- 19:29 He said he'd take you home. It was raining.
- 19:31 You go down to his car. He makes a pass at you. You grab his gun, let him have it and scram with the envelope.
- 19:36 The brakes in the car come loose and the car starts rolling.
- 19:39 Lieutenant, you...
- 19:41 You sound as if you want to believe I killed Walter Bart.
- 19:46 Your prints are on the gun.
- 19:48 You have motive, plenty of it.
- 19:50 What do you expect me to believe?
- 19:53 I guess it does look pretty bad.
- 19:57 What are you going to do with me?
- 20:00 I ought to book you.
- 20:02 You know what that will do to my father on Tuesday.
- 20:09 I realize the pressure you're under, Lieutenant.
- 20:12 I've learned a great deal about the police department from father.
- 20:15 Max Calvert could do a lot to help you... if you could learn to do things his way.
- 20:19 Leave Calvin out of this.
- 20:21 I'm a policeman, not a politician.
- 20:24 I'm glad.
- 20:25 I've always liked policemen.
- 20:29 I should book you.
- 20:31 Otherwise, I can't hold you.
- 20:32 If you don't mind waiting a little longer...
- 20:35 Well, something may turn up.
- 20:39 You mean you may see things a little more clearly? Put it anywhere you like.
- 20:45 In here, please.
- 20:55 You guys mind if I want a hand? - Nope. Hello, Doc.
- 21:01 Anything new on the board, Kelly?
- 21:03 Well, he was shot with his own gun that was found in the car. Now, we know all about that.
- 21:07 Yeah, but what you don't know is that Janet Bradley, Luther's daughter, is mixed up in the case. No. That's right. Carson has her downstairs now.
- 21:14 She had a date with Bard in his apartment this evening.
- 21:17 Regular little mine of information, aren't you, Doc?
- 21:19 Well, I just thought the boys should know. That's nice out here.
- 21:23 Well, I'm still running the night shift around here and I'll give out the information.
- 21:27 The express already has it. I don't need to tell you how they got it.
- 21:29 You boys might as well have it too.
- 21:31 Mrs. Bradley is involved.
- 21:32 To what extent, we don't know yet.
- 21:34 She was in Bard's apartment this evening, but she gives a perfectly logical reason for being there. Well, that's good enough for the front page. I'd go slow on any insinuations if I were you fellas.
- 21:42 Did you get that, Charlie? That was Costner. - I'll give it to Mr. Jones. - Yeah.
- 21:45 Here's the latest hope on the Bard case. Miss Janet Bradley, junior league, active in everything.
- 21:50 Oh, yes, Mr. Jones, I'm sticking right on the job. I just wormed it out of the lieutenant this minute.
- 21:55 Janet Bratley daughter of the Maryland candidate is being questioned with regard to the Bard murder. Yes.
- 22:01 And you leave those two tickets for the Philharmonic... You boys won't forget who gave you the original tip. We won't forget. Dr. G.F. Yeager?
- 22:13 Now, which one of you was taking my scissors? I stuck them in your buffalo coat for safekeeping. Thank you.
- 22:21 If you moochers insist on playing childish pranks with my sisters, I'll be forced to do something drastic.
- 22:30 Well...
- 22:32 It's about time. Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Calvert. I didn't know you were here.
- 22:36 I hope you haven't been waiting long. Long enough. Where have you been? Oh, all over. It's been a very busy night.
- 22:41 - Has Carson booked the Bradley girl yet? - Not yet.
- 22:44 He's stalling, Mr. Calvert.
- 22:45 I don't trust Carson. He's never played along with us the way he should.
- 22:48 He just bawled me out for tipping off the press room that he'd been questioning the girl.
- 22:52 I want her charged with murder and I want it spread all over the front page of every paper in town. Sooner the better.
- 22:59 I'll save this one later.
- 23:00 I'm going to give this murder the biggest coverage any local papers had in years.
- 23:05 I'll run the Bradley girls picture every day.
- 23:07 Diagrams of the street where the body was found.
- 23:10 Diagrams of Bard's apartment pictures of the murder car.
- 23:14 I'll have a sob sister covering her appearance at the inquest.
- 23:16 Every appearance in court.
- 23:19 I'll do a half column devoted to her costume alone.
- 23:22 How she looks.
- 23:23 With the inference that she's frightened, that she's hiding something that her back's against the wall.
- 23:28 Yes, but the only hitch, Mr. Calvert, is that Walter Bard didn't die of a gunshot wound.
- 23:34 What did you say?
- 23:36 He was poisoned before he was shot.
- 23:38 - Who did it? - I don't know.
- 23:39 You cut him open?
- 23:41 I didn't have to.
- 23:42 I found traces of poison in his mouth.
- 23:44 Well, have you told Carson?
- 23:46 Not yet.
- 23:47 Well, don't.
- 23:49 The trouble is, if Carson ever takes a good look at the body, he'll notice there was practically no bleeding.
- 23:54 And he'll know what that means.
- 23:56 Then we gotta get rid of the body.
- 23:57 Get it out of here fast tonight.
- 23:59 Before the inquest, I can't. You can and you're going to.
- 24:03 But Mr. Kovach, you can't just pick up a body and drag it out of the morgue before the chief medical examiner's had a whack at it.
- 24:10 Look.
- 24:11 Have you got any John Doe's in the icebox?
- 24:13 One that you can ship out to the crematorium in a hurry?
- 24:16 Well, there's a floater that we fished out of the bay a couple of weeks ago.
- 24:19 All right, now you go down to the morgue and switch Walter Bard's body to the John Doe Slap.
- 24:23 Then make our commitment papers for John Doe.
- 24:25 Cremation.
- 24:26 and ship it out tonight.
- 24:28 But he is sure to be found out sooner or later. You have to make the morgue attended the fall guy.
- 24:32 These squawks, you send them to me, you understand?
- 24:36 Oh.
- 24:36 I'll do my best, Mr. Calvert. Your best is to get that body out of here fast.
- 24:49 *phone rings*
- 24:53 Yes?
- 24:54 Mrs. Barter, no way or no, Lieutenant.
- 25:01 Hello?
- 25:03 Is this Mrs. Walter Bard?
- 25:05 Yes, this is Mrs. Bord.
- 25:07 You've been ringing for some time, haven't you? I'm sorry.
- 25:10 I was sound asleep.
- 25:12 I'm afraid I have some bad news for you.
- 25:16 That is impossible. He wasn't...
- 25:19 I'm afraid he was, Mrs. Bond.
- 25:22 We don't know yet.
- 25:24 I'll have to ask you to come down here. I know it'll be difficult, but you may be able to help us.
- 25:30 Of course, but I haven't seen Walter for several weeks. We haven't been living together.
- 25:37 Yes.
- 25:40 As soon as I'm dressed.
- 25:53 *sad sound*
- 25:57 Yes?
- 25:58 Okay.
- 25:59 or for something dreadful has happened.
- 26:01 It's Walter.
- 26:02 Did the police say how it happened, Nora? Or where?
- 26:05 No, Arthur.
- 26:07 No.
- 26:08 They've asked me to come down to the station now.
- 26:12 Remember, you haven't been out all evening.
- 26:16 I'll go with you.
- 26:18 Certainly, I'm your lawyer.
- 26:21 Don't worry, darling. Everything will be all right.
- 26:24 Yes.
- 26:25 Pick me up on your way down to the station.
- 26:27 In about 20 minutes.
- 26:29 It won't take me long to dress.
- 26:34 Here's the lab report on the lipstick on the cigarette stuff.
- 26:39 Any calls?
- 26:41 One of them is Janet Bradley's, the other is a shade called Rochelle, used mostly by brunettes.
- 26:45 Mrs. Barger's here, Lieutenant.
- 26:46 - Send her in. - Will you come in, please?
- 26:50 Sorry you had to come down here tonight, Mrs. Bard. I understand, Lieutenant. This is Mr. Templeton, my attorney.
- 26:56 Walter Bard and I would have been divorced.
- 26:58 I'm handling all of Mrs. Bard's business affairs. So I asked Mr. Templeton to come with me.
- 27:02 Sit down, please.
- 27:07 You told Mrs. White very little on the telephone, Lieutenant.
- 27:10 Well, Bart was shot through the heart.
- 27:12 We found his car parked in front of this building, his body in it.
- 27:15 But that's fantastic.
- 27:16 Who did it?
- 27:17 We're not prepared to say it yet.
- 27:20 Mrs. Bard, I think you told me that you and Bard hadn't lived together for quite some time. Not for over a year.
- 27:25 Have you seen him recently?
- 27:27 I saw him at a nightclub one evening several weeks ago. I was with Mr. Templeton.
- 27:32 We want to be frank with you, Lieutenant.
- 27:34 Well, I hope you will be.
- 27:36 Nora and I are going to be married.
- 27:38 We've been waiting for her divorce from Borg.
- 27:40 Had the proceedings begun? No. Papers were ready, but they hadn't been served yet.
- 27:44 Did Bahr refuse to accept service on these papers?
- 27:48 Repeatedly.
- 27:50 He was my husband and even though he's dead or I'm going to say it off. He was mean and cruel. He liked to hate people.
- 27:56 He did it deliberately.
- 27:57 I studied for two years.
- 28:00 Mrs. Borders had a very difficult time, Lieutenant. Yes, I know.
- 28:05 Mrs. Bard, uh, you were home all evening?
- 28:07 Yes.
- 28:09 I was asleep when you telephoned.
- 28:12 You weren't in Bard's apartment at any time during the course of the evening. Mrs. Bard has already answered that question twice before, Carson. Carson?
- 28:18 I don't mind answering Lieutenant Carson's question a third time, Arthur.
- 28:22 I was not in Walter's apartment this evening, Lieutenant.
- 28:26 Were you?
- 28:28 No.
- 28:31 I suppose you know I have to ask Mrs. Barr to identify the remains.
- 28:34 Naturally.
- 28:35 Oppenheim, will you take care of that?
- 28:37 Yeah, sure.
- 28:38 This way, please.
- 28:42 Listen, pal, I didn't bust that mirror. Somebody else tossed the bottle into the glassware. Name?
- 28:48 I'm Zachary, the Philadelphia Phantom.
- 28:50 Never heard of you. What's your address?
- 28:53 You can't book me, copper. I'm fighting at the Elks tonight.
- 28:56 The annual smoker, see? I go on at 1 o'clock.
- 28:59 What's your address?
- 29:02 But what about the Elks?
- 29:03 You ain't gonna let the Elks down, are you?
- 29:06 I'm an odd fellow.
- 29:08 The address, Zachary. You can't do it to me, pal. It's my professional reputation. This is at the Benjamin Hotel, Lieutenant. Give the Phantom one of our private suites. You'll see the judge in the morning. But I've got to go on at 1 a.m.
- 29:20 Welcome back. Honest, I will. Take him away. But...
- 30:29 I vote for Louis. He has the best beard. What's the best dish in the joint? The blonde behind the counter.
- 30:35 Come on.
- 31:05 - Mmm.
- 31:42 I'm going to go.
- 32:01 I'm going to go.
- 32:09 Oh, my God.
- 32:13 I'm
- 32:27 I'm sorry.
- 32:36 Here, that's all you need. Now get going.
- 32:42 Oh, my God.
- 32:43 I'm.
- 33:04 Woodbury crematorium. This one burns, huh?
- 33:07 Give him an easy ride. It's his last one.
- 33:36 The Sith's gone.
- 33:38 Are you sure you ever had one? Gosh, Bill, I put him in there myself.
- 33:42 Let me use your phone.
- 33:45 Yeah, Doc.
- 33:46 The body must have walked right out of the ambulance.
- 33:48 Well, go back over your route. Keep your eyes open and your trap shut.
- 33:51 If you can't find the body, report to me as soon as you get here.
- 33:54 Well...
- 34:02 Hello.
- 34:05 What?
- 34:08 Oh, so somebody else wants Bard's body, huh?
- 34:13 Ah, that crew must be double crossing you. They must know how that body was taken out of the ambulance.
- 34:19 Well, I don't believe it.
- 34:20 You make 'em call for the truth.
- 34:22 I want to know who else wants that body.
- 34:25 Listen, Yeager, this is a pretty serious matter.
- 34:27 Both for the administration and for the police department and incidentally for you.
- 34:31 But I did everything I could, Mr. Calvert.
- 34:34 Everything you ask me to.
- 34:35 You find that body and get rid of it.
- 34:43 Yes?
- 34:45 Sam a John Doe that was being transported to the Woodbury crematorium has disappeared from the ambulance.
- 34:51 What do you mean, disappeared?
- 34:53 The boys say that they loaded it into the ambulance and when they got there it was gone.
- 34:56 What am I supposed to do, pull your rabbits out of my hat?
- 34:59 The doors must have fallen open.
- 35:01 Tell Ryan to send a patrol car without the ambulance took.
- 35:04 I've already told the crew to retrace their route.
- 35:06 Well, find that body before the papers find it for you. Oh.
- 35:21 Holy smoke!
- 35:24 Hello.
- 35:28 Hello, this is Johnny Williams. Let me speak to Mr. Jones. Quick.
- 35:33 I'll call you right back. You're new around here, ain't you?
- 35:36 What's your name? Williams, the Herald. And I'm pretty busy. Sure you're busy. You bricklayers as always do.
- 35:42 busy unless it's a bouquet you're wanting on the cup until Saturday night.
- 35:46 And then it's Flossie, my darling. Flossie, be a pal. And give us a kiss, Flossie.
- 35:52 But I'm on to your banana oil. Look, Flossie, I got to phone my paper. There's been a murder. Sure there's been a murder.
- 35:59 Didn't he get himself killed with one of me carnations in his buttonhole? And owing me a dollar six bits.
- 36:05 Seven of them he died on, Nick. Oh, that's a shame, Flossie. But you'll get your money back. And when I ask the cops for me due, what do I get?
- 36:14 Birds! I'll tell you what you do, Flossie. You go down to the desk. When all I want is me dollar six bits out of the money he dyed in his pants with.
- 36:23 I've been to the desk, and what do I get? Birdseed, sure. But this time you tell a lieutenant that I sent you. Johnny Williams of the Herald. Tell him to give you your dollar six bits, and the Herald will pay it. Tell him I personally guarantee it.
- 36:35 Come on.
- 36:36 Yeah.
- 36:38 Hello, give me Mr. Jones.
- 36:40 Wait.
- 36:42 Birdseed!
- 36:44 Hello, Mr. Jones.
- 36:46 Wait!
- 36:46 I got a Lulu on that Walter Bard killing.
- 36:50 An exclusive.
- 36:51 Yeah.
- 36:52 In the press room closed closet.
- 36:55 Hey, wait a minute.
- 36:57 I'll call you back, Mr. Jones.
- 37:02 Now, where are my scissors? I never seem to be able to find them.
- 37:09 Last time I found them in my overcoat pocket.
- 37:14 Here they are, Mr. Wintergreen.
- 37:17 Oh, I'm awfully sorry, Mr. Winnergreen.
- 37:21 I wish people would leave my scissors alone.
- 37:24 This time...
- 37:26 I'll nail them down, Miss.
- 37:37 Milk!
- 37:39 How many, you guys? That's Mr. Rusinski. Get a bottle for me, will you?
- 37:43 Yeah.
- 37:48 Make it one for Wintergreen.
- 37:53 Hey, is Wintergreen up there? Yeah, he's here.
- 37:56 Tell him I want to buy his Buffalo coat. I'll be right up.
- 38:00 Hey, no dice! He doesn't want to sell!
- 38:02 I never heard of such a burden.
- 38:04 as if I didn't have the right to dispose of my own property.
- 38:08 Look, Mr. Winogrey.
- 38:10 You can't sell that overcoat.
- 38:11 I hoped you'd bring a chastening influence to this menagerie. Why, it'd be an insult to your grandfather and to the grand old name of Boone. It'd be unpatriotic. I am dreadfully disappointed in you, Williams.
- 38:20 Why, that overcoat's made history. It's practically a national monument. You can't have a big lug like Brzezinski delivering milk in it.
- 38:27 Why don't you get wise to what you've got?
- 38:29 Why that overcoat ought to be in the Smithsonian Institute.
- 38:31 They pay real dough for it.
- 38:33 - Smithsonian? - Uh-huh.
- 38:35 But do you really think...
- 38:37 No, Williams.
- 38:39 No, my mind is made up.
- 38:57 Sure, Mr. Jones. That's what I said. Walter Bard's body in a press room clothes closet. Hey, there's somebody in there. I know it sounds crazy, Mr. Jones, and I'm not drunk. It's true. There's a guy in there, I tell you. Listen to him holler his head off. Yeah, and I'm the only one that knows except Wintergreen, and I got him spiked. Absolutely, Mr. Jones. Get out of here.
- 39:18 Oh, God.
- 39:23 Oh, my God.
- 39:24 Amen.
- 39:25 Beep.
- 39:27 Yes? Mr. Haggerty.
- 39:29 City editor of the Herald, Lieutenant.
- 39:30 Right.
- 39:32 Hello, Hagridi.
- 39:36 What did you say?
- 39:38 in the press room.
- 39:39 Here?
- 39:41 What?
- 39:43 As soon as I'm near like I sold you that one I'll be over personally to tell you what kind of a joint I run around here.
- 39:48 One of those tosspot reporters phone Haggerty and said that Bard's body is hanging in the
- 39:53 Press room clothes closet.
- 39:57 Hey.
- 39:58 You don't think he was talking about this...
- 40:00 John Doe that Jaeger lost.
- 40:01 There's only one way to find out.
- 40:07 That's what I said you don't want wrapped up in somebody's overcoat in the press room closet my overcoat please credit where credit is due. Hey look you guys a perfect fit. What goes on I found bar all wrapped up winter greens overcoat in the clothes closet. Harold's printing it so relax fellas and save paper. Yes. He was right in this part.
- 40:30 Let me have that.
- 40:31 Say, this guy didn't believe much.
- 40:34 - Did I make you say anything about that? - Not to me.
- 40:38 Have him taken back, Sergeant. Thank you.
- 40:43 Mr. Jones again. - Okay, you'll get it. Mr. Jones. - All right. Lieutenant Carson's examined the body now.
- 40:49 Yep.
- 40:52 Thirty years, Lieutenant, I've been putting them on ice.
- 40:54 Nobody ever done this to me before. Where was he in here?
- 40:58 Pull it out.
- 41:05 That's the John Doe we fished out of the bay.
- 41:08 The one Doc Ager committed tonight for cremation.
- 41:10 How did it get in there? I don't know, Lieutenant.
- 41:12 I put him on number seven myself. There's been a switch. Here's Doc Jaeger now. What's this all about, Sam?
- 41:17 It looks as if someone went outside as that John Doe you lost.
- 41:20 Only it wasn't John Doe, it was Walter Bard.
- 41:22 John Doe is here in Bard's place.
- 41:25 Well, this is absurd, Sam. A lot of things are tonight.
- 41:28 You signed a commitment paper, didn't you? Yes, for John Doe.
- 41:32 Well, Bart's body must have been picked up by mistake. That's the only way it could have happened.
- 41:36 Well, so long as it turned out all right.
- 41:38 Well, Malley, get that John Doe out of here.
- 41:40 But part back in the right place and see that he stays there until the chief medical examiner is through with him. Yes sir.
- 41:54 business, Mrs. Bard?
- 41:57 Hello, Mrs. Bard. This is Ames of the East.
- 41:59 expressed.
- 42:00 Express?
- 42:03 Oh, I haven't the slightest idea of what connection Miss Bradley has with the case.
- 42:09 In fact,
- 42:10 I didn't know she was even acquainted with my husband.
- 42:14 - You're welcome. - What was it, Your Honor? A report on Express. The police have found out Janet Bradley was in Walter's apartment tonight.
- 42:26 Arthur, we've got to go to the police station and tell them the truth.
- 42:30 No, we've got to sit tight. If we do, we'd never trust each other again, Arthur. There'd always be that doubt. It'd grow and keep on growing. In the end, it'd break us apart.
- 42:39 We'd distrust each other for the rest of our lives.
- 42:43 At this moment, Arthur, they...
- 42:44 There's a voice inside me saying...
- 42:47 I'm not sure of him.
- 42:49 Do you really mean that, Nora? Yes, I do.
- 42:52 And maybe there's a voice inside you saying...
- 42:54 I'm not sure of her.
- 42:57 Don't you see how right I am, Arthur? We couldn't live together like that.
- 43:03 You ought to be the lawyer, Nora.
- 43:05 We'll go down to Carson's office right now.
- 43:07 Calvin.
- 43:12 *phone rings*
- 43:14 Come on.
- 43:16 Yes.
- 43:17 I'd like somebody to come down here and perform an autopsy.
- 43:21 Sure, I know I got Jaeger. I want someone else.
- 43:24 Uh, Bart.
- 43:26 For a very particular reason. Or how about Doc Hastings?
- 43:30 As soon as you can get him down here.
- 43:35 I'll see Mrs. Bard now.
- 43:41 We've come to make certain operations in our statement, Lieutenant.
- 43:45 What's happening?
- 43:47 We told you we weren't at Vard's apartment this evening.
- 43:50 Well, we were. Nora was there when Bard died.
- 43:53 I was there later.
- 43:54 Go on.
- 43:56 I didn't tell Arthur I was going, but I went to ask Walter once more to give me a divorce.
- 44:04 There's no use being angry with me, Nora.
- 44:06 Take off your fingers and stay a while.
- 44:08 Have a drink.
- 44:10 It's a rainy evening. That's finished, Walter.
- 44:12 I'm in love with Arthur Templeton. We want to get married. - So you can make it legitimate, eh? - You have no right to say that. You have absolutely no grounds whatsoever.
- 44:20 Perhaps.
- 44:22 But I'm not going to turn you so tempered as you put on his income tax.
- 44:25 Besides this arrangement suits me fine.
- 44:27 So long as I'm married, no woman can make a sucker out of me.
- 44:30 But Walter. Don't worry.
- 44:33 Go into the bedroom.
- 44:35 I'll talk with you as soon as I'm through with this party.
- 44:46 Well, well.
- 44:47 Come in, Miss Bradley.
- 44:49 Did you listen?
- 44:49 I heard a little. Walter seemed to have some papers that Miss Bradley wanted to buy. But he was holding out for more money. And then?
- 44:56 Then there was some sort of
- 44:58 I don't know what happened.
- 44:59 Then Miss Bradley demanded the papers.
- 45:02 I got the impression she was covering Walter with a gun.
- 45:05 ...than a door sling.
- 45:06 Yes?
- 45:07 I waited a few minutes, then I went in.
- 45:12 Walter just taken a drink. He took a step toward me.
- 45:17 I'll never forget the way he looked.
- 45:19 The muscles of his face were all drawn up as if they were knotted.
- 45:22 Then he fell into a chair when I got to him.
- 45:25 dead.
- 45:26 I was terrified. I rushed out of the place. Why didn't you call the police?
- 45:31 I was afraid to.
- 45:35 Would you take a drink with Bart?
- 45:37 No.
- 45:39 You remember if Bard's gun was still in the holster?
- 45:44 I'm sure it wasn't.
- 45:45 But I do remember seeing it there when I first went in.
- 45:48 Then who shot Bard?
- 45:50 I shot Todd.
- 45:55 I went to see Bart for the same reason Nora did. I thought perhaps I could get him to change his mind about the divorce.
- 45:59 I just pulled up with a curb opposite his apartment house.
- 46:02 Door opened.
- 46:03 Nora came running out.
- 46:04 She looked frightened.
- 46:06 Before I could get around to calling after her, she had jumped into her car and started off.
- 46:09 I noticed that the car in front of the apartment was Bards. I'd asked her never to go to Bards' apartment again.
- 46:15 The more I thought about Nora being there, the less I liked it.
- 46:20 Amen.
- 46:33 I'm going to go.
- 46:47 The notion that Bard's callousness had driven Nora to killing him took hold of me. That would be murder.
- 46:55 It looked like poison to me. All I could think of was that Nora might be traced to the apartment. There was only one thing to do.
- 47:03 Get the body out of the place.
- 47:05 I knew the risk I was running, but I had to do it.
- 47:15 Come on.
- 47:23 Come on.
- 47:24 Someone was coming up. I didn't dare go back and wait. I'd have to carry him down. He was taking a big chance.
- 47:33 But it was late, and luck was with me.
- 47:35 No one saw me.
- 47:41 Hmm.
- 47:46 I'm going to go.
- 48:04 Amen.
- 48:13 I saw the gun. If I could fake a suicide.
- 48:17 Nora's fingerprints wouldn't be on the gun.
- 48:19 but swing suspicion away from her.
- 48:22 I held the gun close to him to muffle the shot.
- 48:26 It occurred to me then if Barb's body was found as far as possible from his apartment house,
- 48:31 Nora's danger would be still less.
- 48:34 The break.
- 48:37 I'm going to go.
- 48:38 He started the car rolling down the hill away from the apartment house.
- 48:44 And that's our story.
- 48:46 Nor is it mine.
- 48:49 Templeton.
- 48:50 Do you believe Mrs. Bard's story?
- 48:52 Yes, I do.
- 48:54 And you believe his? Of course I do.
- 48:57 You really came down here to convince each other that you were each telling the truth, didn't you?
- 49:00 Partly.
- 49:01 We had to speak for Johnny Bradley too, Lieutenant.
- 49:04 I'll need a detailed statement from both of you later. Certainly, Lieutenant.
- 49:08 You can wait in the outer office.
- 49:15 I'm sorry, Flossie, but you'll have to see Lieutenant Carson.
- 49:20 See, the lieutenant, he says.
- 49:22 A dollar six bits. That stiff guy knowing me, and he tells me to see the lieutenant.
- 49:28 Listen.
- 49:30 I will see the lieutenant and the chief and the mayor and the governor if I have to.
- 49:36 I'll hand me dollar six bits if I have to see the...
- 49:39 President himself. Sure, Flossie, sure. You're right. I don't blame you, Biddle.
- 49:47 Okay, my lord.
- 49:49 - Orange seed. - What have you got?
- 50:30 We've turned up some new evidence.
- 50:32 Does it help me?
- 50:34 No.
- 50:36 Oh.
- 50:38 What is it?
- 50:40 Bard didn't die of a gunshot.
- 50:42 He was poisoned.
- 50:43 Really?
- 50:44 Someone slipped the stuff in his whiskey decanter.
- 50:48 Oh.
- 50:49 Wait a minute.
- 50:50 You don't think I put the poison in his decant?
- 50:53 Why didn't you drink your highball?
- 50:55 Well, I didn't want it.
- 50:58 How do you think that'll sound in court?
- 51:03 Any way you want it to sound, I suppose.
- 51:06 Are you going to book me?
- 51:09 If you could give me just one solid reason why I shouldn't.
- 51:14 I'm sorry for you, Lieutenant Carson.
- 51:17 I'm in a bad spot, but so are you.
- 51:20 You have to decide whether I'm guilty because I really am guilty...
- 51:24 Or because I'm Luther Bradley's daughter.
- 51:27 If you book me now, you'll never be sure whether you did it because you really believe I killed Walter Bart or...
- 51:31 Or because Max Calvert told you to.
- 51:36 That's one of the things I'm trying to get straight in my mind.
- 51:40 If Calvert wasn't turning on the heat...
- 51:42 And another reason...
- 51:45 It would have been easy.
- 51:46 I'd have booked you, but fast.
- 51:48 What other reasons?
- 51:52 It wouldn't make sense to you or to anyone else.
- 51:55 In my kind of job,
- 51:56 Your reasons have got to make sense.
- 51:59 I suppose so.
- 52:01 And that means...
- 52:04 I'll have to book you the way things stand.
- 52:13 Come on.
- 52:32 I'm going to go.
- 52:59 Yes, sir.
- 53:00 Say, is that nutty woman that sells flowers still in the building?
- 53:03 In the building, she's practically in my lap.
- 53:05 But don't worry, Lieutenant. I'll get rid of her.
- 53:08 Don't get rid of her. I want to see her. Send her in.
- 53:10 Then see if you can locate Oppenheimer.
- 53:12 Okay, Lieutenant.
- 53:14 All right, Flossie, the lieutenant will see you now.
- 53:18 Maybe now I'll get me dollar six bits. - Sit down, darling. - None of that.
- 53:23 All I want is the money that Stiff owes me.
- 53:26 You mean barred?
- 53:27 He must have died with some assets in his pants, Lieutenant.
- 53:31 Don't worry about that you get your dollar six bits.
- 53:34 Tell me.
- 53:35 Did you sell this to Bard? - Sure I did. - When?
- 53:38 Six o'clock this evening.
- 53:39 Just as he was coming out of Simi's bail-bound office.
- 53:42 Didn't he pay you for it? He did not. He never paid you. You've always got to chase him. Up to the present moment, that slicker owes me a dollar six bits.
- 53:52 Did you see him after that?
- 53:53 I went to his apartment to collect, but I didn't see him. He must have been out to dinner, so I stuck around.
- 53:58 Did you see anyone else when you were up there? Nobody but Doc Yeager. Do I get my money or don't I?
- 54:04 Yeager? He was up there?
- 54:06 - Board was out to the both of us. - What time was this?
- 54:09 Oh, I don't know. A past date, maybe.
- 54:12 I knocked on Bard's door and he didn't answer, so...
- 54:15 I stuck around in the corridor. It was raining out and I was wet to my pelt.
- 54:19 Then Dr. Jager came.
- 54:20 Did Yeager see you? No, he never seen me, but he was there. You asked.
- 54:24 Tell me about Jaeger. What happened?
- 54:26 I was drying myself with the radiator on the stairway lantern.
- 54:30 I was down half a flight, so he didn't see me.
- 54:36 Come on.
- 54:38 Amen.
- 54:40 Never seen a man so scared.
- 54:41 The way he kept looking around.
- 54:54 He could hardly find the keyhole his hand was shaking so.
- 54:59 I don't know how many keys he tried before he got the one that fit it.
- 55:11 and shut the door behind him
- 55:13 What?
- 55:15 hardly here
- 55:17 He couldn't have been in there more than a minute, and he
- 55:19 still acted like he was scared of his own shadow.
- 55:31 He never seen me, but he was there. You ask him.
- 55:37 Doc, come into my office again, will you? Okay.
- 55:40 And now do I get my financial reimbursement?
- 55:44 There you are.
- 55:45 You can always tell a gentleman by the way he treats a lady.
- 55:49 Just a minute.
- 55:50 I want you to wait in here.
- 56:07 Come in, Doc.
- 56:11 You don't look well, Doc.
- 56:12 Sit down. Oh, I'm all right.
- 56:14 Tired, that's all.
- 56:16 Too much night work, I guess.
- 56:18 I'm not as young as I was.
- 56:20 What's up, Sam?
- 56:22 Bards death is a lucky break for you, isn't it, Doc?
- 56:25 I don't get you.
- 56:26 This malpractice case the grand jury's got on you.
- 56:29 Bard did some investigating for the Medical Association, didn't he? Oh, he's got nothing on me.
- 56:34 I wonder what happened to the evidence he dug up.
- 56:37 It isn't in either his apartment or his office.
- 56:39 Because there never was any.
- 56:40 I heard different.
- 56:42 Funny how it disappeared isn't it doc.
- 56:45 Oh, you're not insinuating that I... That you got a hold of it?
- 56:49 Yes, I am, Doc.
- 56:50 Boy, that's ridiculous.
- 56:52 I haven't been out of the building since the body was found.
- 56:55 Maybe you were out before it was found.
- 56:57 I was not.
- 56:59 You weren't in bars of Parvin earlier this evening?
- 57:01 Certainly not. Along about 8:30.
- 57:03 No.
- 57:05 Suppose I told you you were seen going into Bard's apartment with one of your keys.
- 57:08 You stayed there a few minutes then left locking the door after you.
- 57:11 Whoever said that's a liar? Who's calling me a liar? It's yourself that's the liar. I seen you, a sneaking into the poor murdered boy's apartment and sneaking out again with the mark of 10 all over your face.
- 57:24 And that's how the poison got in Bart's whiskey.
- 57:27 Help! Help! Help! Help! Pull me! Pull me! Help!
- 57:44 I'm a help!
- 58:24 There it is! Havage!
- 58:41 Take him away. Ah, come on. Thanks. Who are you? I'm Zachary. Hey, that's the guy broke jail. Yeah, the Philadelphia Phantom.
- 58:48 I won my fight by a knockout, so now I'm back.
- 58:51 You got back just in time. Well, I guess this ought to wash things up, eh?
- 58:55 Not exactly. You're still under arrest. Well, if that ain't gratitude... Don't worry, Zachary. I'll be in your corner when your case comes up.
- 59:01 Thanks, pal.
- 59:04 You can count on both of us.
- 59:05 I think your confession will be sufficient.
- 59:08 Much obliged will turn there's still a misdemeanor charge against you Mr. Templeton. But I don't think it will interfere with your wedding plans.
- 59:15 You're invited to our wedding, Lieutenant.
- 59:17 Fine.
- 59:17 I'll be there.
- 59:18 To kiss the bride. Good luck to both of you. Thank you.
- 59:26 Now why couldn't something like that happen to me?
- 59:29 Oh, nobody loves a copper. Why don't you ask her?
- 59:33 Ask her?
- 59:34 That's cool.
- 59:37 What?
- 59:38 Yeah, let's go out to breakfast with you shortly. Pretty hungry by now. You're nuts. It's been done.
- 59:43 After the going over I gave her? I still say it's been done.
- 59:50 Maybe you got something there.
- 59:55 You're free to go now.
- 59:57 We have the confession of a Dr. Yeager.
- 59:59 Oh.
- 1:00:00 I'm glad you didn't touch that drink.
- 1:00:01 So am I.
- 1:00:03 I've just had the pleasure of telephoning Max Calvert.
- 1:00:06 and informing him that his stooge murdered Walter Bard.
- 1:00:09 Which of course ruins his front page on Janet Bradley.
- 1:00:13 And that's about all.
- 1:00:15 Unless you want to tell me what you took away from Bob. Between ourselves, of course.
- 1:00:19 I feel I can tell you now.
- 1:00:22 I didn't trust you before. You didn't seem to be yourself, but...
- 1:00:26 Now you do.
- 1:00:28 It's quite a story.
- 1:00:30 Suppose I tell you about it some evening.
- 1:00:32 Soon.
- 1:00:34 I suppose you do.
- 1:00:39 Yes, the lieutenant was very complimentary. Mr. Jones. He said if I hadn't found the body in the clothes closet the case might never have been solved.
- 1:00:47 Hey, fellas!
- 1:00:48 Look at this.
- 1:00:49 I'll call you back.
- 1:01:01 I'm going to go.
