Lands on the beat covering that second.
Check before citing the shot count. Few shot boundaries: 76 shots in 1:19:02 is under one a minute. The detector misses cuts on dark, faded or damaged prints and treats dissolves as continuous; the count is a floor, not a measurement. A 24:14 shot at 47:14 (shot 30): either a static hold or a run of missed cuts. Treat it as unverified.
How this page was made

76 shots over 1:19:02, read from the Internet Archive copy Quicksand_clear (Quicksand.mp4, 640×480, 29.97 fps). Shot boundaries by PySceneDetect's adaptive detector; each frame links to the Archive's player at that second. Registry dossier: Quicksand No renewal found. JSON

Measurements: black-and-white film on its keyframes (0 of 76 shots judged colour), average shot 62.4s long, a frontal face detected in 30% of keyframes. Shots are detected automatically and each is represented by its midpoint frame.

Released 1950 (Internet Archive). Credited cast, film-level, from archive description: Mickey Rooney, Peter Lorre. A cast credit does not place an actor in any particular beat.

3 beats in 3 sequences, cut automatically at shot boundaries scored on picture change, pauses in speech, topic shifts, on-screen text and cutting rhythm (each beat says why it starts where it does). Each is annotated by a vision-language model from four sampled frames and the transcript lines in it, as observations with evidence; anything the frames and lines do not support is left null. Machine annotation (Qwen/Qwen3-VL-235B-A22B-Instruct), checked automatically: quotes must be verbatim, names must be spoken, "visible" events are sampled to a second model. 3 of 3 beats annotated, 3 passed the checks, 0 flagged.

  1. 1:00 Oh, my God.
  2. 1:20 Come on.
  3. 1:27 Father Pai.
  4. 1:29 I was a Christian.
  5. 1:33 It's not very good around here, but there's a big run of Marlin up Tijuana.
  6. 1:36 We're taking a party down there Sunday morning. How do you like this guy? Gets paid to go fishing while we slave over a hot carburetor. You said it.
  7. 1:43 Hey, Dan, we got room for one more. Why don't you come along? When are you going to get back? Late Monday night. Monday night? That lets me out. I couldn't get Monday off.
  8. 1:50 You could get away if you wanted to.
  9. 1:52 You just don't want to miss spending Sunday with the girlfriend.
  10. 1:55 Helen?
  11. 1:55 No, they busted up a couple of months ago. By the way, she called you again this morning.
  12. 2:00 She did?
  13. 2:01 I told her you wasn't in for the 19th time. Good, good.
  14. 2:04 How do you like this guy? There's a dam I trade my right arm for and he gives it the runaround. Maybe he's found a new dish. No, I spent four years in the Navy fighting for freedom. Why get anchored down now? Besides, he was getting too serious.
  15. 2:15 - Your wedding bells, huh? - It'll get louder and louder. I figured she's too nice to string along.
  16. 2:20 But she won't take no for an answer.

  18. 2:24 I once knew a blonde.

  275. 17:35 If he finds out I'm short, he'll tell the old man.
  276. 17:37 The old man's mean enough to send a guy to jail just for laughs.
  277. 17:41 I gotta get 20 bucks in a hurry.
  278. 17:47 How about that salary loan outfit? The one that's always yacking on the radio. Walk in with an honest face, walk out with a pocket full of dough.
  279. 17:57 I must have walked in with a wrong face.
  280. 17:59 couple of days to check my references.
  281. 18:02 I haven't got any references and I haven't got a couple of days.

  295. 19:41 Well, about that other matter, see if you can't find a way to make it a business deduction.
  296. 19:45 I'll think about it.
  297. 19:57 Hi, George.
  298. 19:58 Hi, Dan.
  299. 20:00 You're here kind of early this week, aren't you?
  300. 20:03 The old man sent for me. He had some tax reports for me to get out.
  301. 20:09 And I figured as long as I was here, I'd get my Thursday work done.
  302. 20:15 Say, Dan.
  303. 20:17 I just checked the register and it's $20 short.
  304. 20:22 Well, maybe you could have made a mistake or something.
  305. 20:25 No, I checked it twice.
  306. 20:28 Whoa.
  307. 20:29 You know, sometimes the money gets stuck in the money sack down there.
  308. 20:38 Yeah.
  309. 20:39 Yeah, here it is.
  310. 20:43 But I looked in the money sank.
  311. 20:45 It just didn't look good enough.
  312. 20:55 *Loud noise*
  313. 21:01 Can I do anything for you, sir?
  314. 21:02 You down, Brady.
  315. 21:10 I'm Moriarty.
  316. 21:12 California Investigation Service.
  317. 21:15 You bought a watch yesterday at Jay's Jewelers, didn't you?
  318. 21:18 Yeah, yeah, I did.
  319. 21:19 and took it straight to Uncle John's and hocked it.
  320. 21:23 What if I did?
  321. 21:25 Don't play dumb. Why would you buy a watch for $100 and hock it the same day for $30?
  322. 21:30 Well, I...
  323. 21:31 Because you don't intend to pay the hundred, that's why.
  324. 21:33 Now, wait a minute. Don't holler before you're hurt, pal. I signed up to pay that thing
  325. 21:36 10 bucks a month, and when the month's up, I'll pay him the 10 bucks.
  326. 21:39 No, no, you won't.
  327. 21:40 because jay jewelers don't think you're going to be here when the month's up.
  328. 21:43 They think you're gonna skip town.
  329. 21:45 So you'll pay up now or Jay's gonna swear out a warrant.
  330. 21:50 warrant?
  331. 21:51 - Weren't for what? - I'll give it to you in words of one syllable, my friend.
  332. 21:56 When you buy something on the installment plan, you sign what they call a conditional sales contract.
  333. 21:59 Yeah?
  334. 22:00 This contract says that the watch, the radio, or the easy chair,
  335. 22:04 Don't be long to you until you make your last payment.
  336. 22:07 It says that if you sell, mortgage, or hock,
  337. 22:10 something you don't own yet.
  338. 22:12 You're guilty of larceny.
  339. 22:13 and a $100 watch is grand license.
  340. 22:17 three years in the penitentiary in this state.
  341. 22:21 You're kidding me, aren't you?
  342. 22:22 Kidden?
  343. 22:23 Me?
  344. 22:24 Not in your life.
  345. 22:26 You signed a contract like this, didn't you?
  346. 22:30 Yeah, I did.
  347. 22:30 Read what it says right there.
  348. 22:34 The debt is payable.
  349. 22:36 within 24 hours or charges.
  350. 22:41 Look, I...
  351. 22:43 I can't get a hold of a hundred bucks, something just like that right away.
  352. 22:46 Well, you better dig it up somewhere.
  353. 22:54 Because if you don't pay up by noon tomorrow, a little man's going to call on you with a big warrant.
  354. 23:02 I'm sorry.
  355. 23:06 That's all, brother. Until noon tomorrow.
  356. 23:10 I'm sorry.
  357. 23:17 Hey, Chuck.
  358. 23:20 What does a guy do when he...
  359. 23:25 Me? I...
  360. 23:25 Usually honk my watch.
  361. 23:31 It's a great idea.
  362. 23:36 *whistling*
  363. 23:38 Maybe I can get some dough on my jalopy.
  364. 23:40 I wonder how much they'll give me for you.
  365. 23:50 Nah.
  366. 23:51 No, Dice. What good is 300 bucks? I still owe the finance company 350.
  367. 24:09 By half past eight, I'd tried everything I could think of, and I still haven't raised $100.00.
  368. 24:14 I hadn't raised a buck and a quarter.
  369. 24:16 So I threw in the towel and headed for Phil's place.
  370. 24:19 to knock off a couple of beers.
  371. 24:24 Yeah.
  372. 24:32 The longer I sat on that silly stool, the more I felt I slugging somebody.
  373. 24:36 I got a socked old man Mackey for being so tight.
  374. 24:39 And the guy in the jewelry store for sending Moriarty after me.
  375. 24:42 with a fella standing next to me at the bar.
  376. 24:44 because he had money in his pocket and I didn't.
  377. 24:48 I'm going to show you how are you, Phil. Thanks. Three-sixty, Johnny.
  378. 24:52 Okay, I gotta get home before the old lady chops me in his office.
  379. 24:57 And they got some smaller. This was a fit.
  380. 25:00 How is this?
  381. 25:03 That's another 50.
  382. 25:04 Yeah, let me know.
  383. 25:07 Five right there on top.
  384. 25:08 Oh, this one.
  385. 25:10 Yeah.
  386. 25:11 Just keep your shades.
  387. 25:13 I have to go home before they let me go.
  388. 25:19 Who?
  389. 25:21 Your wife.
  390. 25:22 Oh, yeah.
  391. 25:23 Yeah, the old lady. Good night, fellas. So long, Shorty.
  392. 25:27 If you like that, read all that notes.
  393. 25:29 Shorty, he runs the bingo game.
  394. 25:31 suckers keep him happy.
  395. 25:32 Come on.
  396. 25:33 - Another beer, Danny?
  397. 25:37 So.
  398. 25:45 Hey, Romney, how was things? - All right, Shawty, how's the day? - OK.
  399. 25:55 Oh, you're a nice boy. Let me tell you what you're not.
  400. 25:58 Maybe you got big ones to swallow this little bit.
  401. 26:01 Oh, no fall on your face, you jerk.
  402. 26:04 And what?
  403. 26:06 I've been a mule, her name is Hell, 60 miles on the Erie Coast.
  404. 26:13 Hello.
  405. 26:22 Oh, no.
  406. 26:26 I'm not sure.
  407. 26:27 I've been a mule...
  408. 26:29 Your name is Hal.
  409. 26:32 A mile done.
  410. 26:34 America!
  411. 26:34 Hello.
  412. 26:36 If it'll work to live in a good old town
  413. 26:41 Fifteen miles of the area
  414. 26:45 Oh, my God.
  415. 26:48 This girl worked her in a girl's house
  416. 26:53 Three miles from the air
  417. 27:00 I'll reach you.
  418. 27:01 Come on, I'm going.
  419. 27:02 Let's go.
  420. 27:05 Come on, in the back. Down to the fort.
  421. 27:08 Yeah.
  422. 27:18 I'm going to go.
  423. 27:26 Come on.
  424. 27:33 I'm not sure.
  425. 27:49 I
  426. 27:52 - Oh, Alison! Oh, Alison! Hiya, John.
  427. 27:58 No time to see.
  428. 27:59 Hiya, Billy.
  429. 28:00 Oh, she did.
  430. 28:02 Oh, look at me here.
  431. 28:03 What are we waiting for, huh?
  432. 28:05 What's your hurry tonight? I never saw you run after anybody.
  433. 28:08 Oh, Millie, please.
  434. 28:10 - Take it easy, what's the rush?
  435. 28:13 Nobody's chasing us.
  436. 28:16 That's right.
  437. 28:17 Nobody's chasing us.
  438. 28:19 We've got all night, haven't we?
  439. 28:20 - Sure we have.
  440. 28:21 Maybe you've got all night.
  441. 28:23 Me and Helen, we only have five minutes until the last show.
  442. 28:26 Uh...
  443. 28:28 General.
  444. 28:29 - Oh, listen, Millie, I almost...
  445. 28:30 I've already seen you.
  446. 28:31 I saw it when I was in the picture.
  447. 28:32 downtown.
  448. 28:33 power.
  449. 28:34 You said...
  450. 28:35 Oh.
  451. 28:36 I got it.
  452. 28:38 - Would you mind if I went alone? - Would you?
  453. 28:40 No, I wouldn't.
  454. 28:41 I didn't think so.
  455. 28:42 Goodbye, then.
  456. 28:46 like old times.
  457. 28:49 Let's go on the roller coaster and...
  458. 28:50 and the chutes and the dipper. Let's go on every
  459. 28:54 All right.
  460. 28:55 I'm going to go.
  461. 29:02 My knees were really shaking back there. I thought the cops had bust out of that alley any minute.
  462. 29:06 - I don't have it.
  463. 29:06 Now I'm in the clear.
  464. 29:08 With heavy dough in my pocket, I can pay off that jewelry store and have enough left over to show Vera the biggest time she ever had.
  465. 29:14 very
  466. 29:16 I've got a date with her tonight.
  467. 29:17 I promised to meet her.
  468. 29:18 Nick's place.
  469. 29:26 uh...
  470. 29:27 What time is it?
  471. 29:29 It's 25 to 10.
  472. 29:31 Holy smoke, I promised to meet a guy a half hour ago.
  473. 29:35 I'm sorry, kid.
  474. 29:37 Can I walk you to the bus or something?
  475. 29:39 Well, you don't have to, Dan.
  476. 29:40 I can get home very much.
  477. 29:42 I'll give you a ring and we'll get together sometime soon.
  478. 29:46 I'll see you later.
  479. 29:51 Come on.
  480. 29:55 Don't come back.
  481. 29:57 I want my $50.
  482. 29:59 Do me a favor, will you?
  483. 30:01 Drop.
  484. 30:01 dead.
  485. 30:02 Get!
  486. 30:03 - Oh, Beth! - Take your dirty hands off of her home. - Take your hands off of her home. - I do what I want. - Don't you hear me? - I do what I want.
  487. 30:11 They don't like to be pushed around.
  488. 30:14 I just don't... I can't!
  489. 30:16 Give me the breath! I'm trying to...
  490. 30:19 Oh, my God.
  491. 30:30 What's all this about fifty dollars?
  492. 30:32 It wasn't a loan, it was a present.
  493. 30:34 All right.
  494. 30:35 I don't want you taking $50 from a guy like this ever.
  495. 30:38 Let's get out of here.
  496. 31:14 Wait. Wait. Two more of these.
  497. 31:26 When are you going to tell me what we're celebrating? We're supposed to be celebrating something? Oh, got to be. Last night you were spending dollar bills and tonight it's 50s.
  498. 31:36 I won it in a craft game.
  499. 31:40 Sure it wasn't bingo. Two champagne cocktails.
  500. 31:43 Come on.
  501. 31:45 What do you mean, Bingo?
  502. 31:47 Just thought you might have won it from Shorty McCabe.
  503. 31:50 I'm going to go.
  504. 31:51 I...
  505. 31:53 I'll give you that idea.
  506. 31:55 Maybe it was Evelyn.
  507. 31:57 Evelyn? Who's Evelyn?
  508. 32:01 bookkeeper in the movie house.
  509. 32:04 She saw Shorty lose it in the auto-park.
  510. 32:06 I'm going to go.
  511. 32:08 What do you know about this?
  512. 32:21 Can I buy you both a drink? No. Isn't there anything I can do for you? Yeah, blow.
  513. 32:26 You'll hurt her.
  514. 32:30 All right.
  515. 32:32 What you say? Danny.
  516. 32:34 Come on.
  517. 32:37 She said she saw the guy who did it with a handkerchief around his face.
  518. 32:43 He took Shorty for his bankroll.
  519. 32:45 I don't know.
  520. 32:47 Didn't he?
  521. 32:50 How do I know? Just thought you might have heard about it.
  522. 32:57 Anyhow, if it was me, then I'd won any $50 bills.
  523. 33:02 I wouldn't go spending them around the pier. Yeah?
  524. 33:05 Why not? Because everyone around here knows that Shorty carries 50s.
  525. 33:14 Okay.
  526. 33:16 I don't know any guy named Shorty, and I won this dough in a crab game, see? Oh, now, sure you did. Sure you did, Danny. Let's spend some of it, huh?
  527. 33:27 That's more like it.
  528. 33:28 Only...
  529. 33:33 You won't spend the fifties.
  530. 33:35 Don't.
  531. 33:39 No.
  532. 33:41 I'm going to go.
  533. 33:42 Now we won't spend the fifties.
  534. 33:44 No.
  535. 33:52 40, 60, maybe 100. There's 100 dollars. What's your dough?
  536. 33:57 And there's your contract.
  537. 34:00 - So long, Brady. - So long.
  538. 34:08 Come on.
  539. 34:09 Back game motor.
  540. 34:11 Who?
  541. 34:13 This is him speaking.
  542. 34:17 How'd I like to what?
  543. 34:20 How would you like to take a big jump off the pier? No, I don't like to take a jump off the pier.
  544. 34:25 But you better come and see me or else or else what?
  545. 34:29 or else something is going to happen.
  546. 34:32 To you.
  547. 34:33 To you, Danny boy.
  548. 34:38 I'm going to go.
  549. 34:45 I'm going to go.
  550. 35:01 What's on your mind and it better be good.
  551. 35:03 Oh, it's very good. You know, last night a prize fighter, a big prize fighter, he left something here. I picked it up.
  552. 35:10 Picked it up where you left it. It's got a knot in it.
  553. 35:13 You know, like like you use for a mask or something.
  554. 35:17 I don't know what you're talking about. No? No. But I'll take it just for luck. Sure, sure. You keep my handkerchief. I keep your handkerchief.
  555. 35:25 Same knot, only your handkerchief got blood on it.
  556. 35:29 So what?
  557. 35:31 Did you ever hear anybody say money talks?
  558. 35:35 Fifty dollar bills. They talk very loud.
  559. 35:38 It's big belts.
  560. 35:39 What do they say?
  561. 35:41 "Shorty McCabe, shorty McCabe."
  562. 35:44 Yeah, that's what it says. Shorty McCain. What's your angle? What are you trying to tell me?
  563. 35:49 I'm telling you about a holdup.
  564. 35:51 You see, Evelyn from the picture show, she...
  565. 35:55 She saw the man get rubbed, and she got a very good look at the guy who did it.
  566. 35:59 She thinks you can identify him very easy.
  567. 36:02 Nice girl, you want me to call you? Wait a minute, put it down.
  568. 36:07 You're so sure that I was mixed up in this thing, why don't you call the cops?
  569. 36:10 cops or not.
  570. 36:12 I'm a businessman.
  571. 36:14 Gee, Danny boy, I think I can do business with you very nicely.
  572. 36:19 What kind of business do you think you could do with me? Automobile business.
  573. 36:22 You get me a new car and I don't know nothing.
  574. 36:26 Just nothing.
  575. 36:28 A new car?
  576. 36:30 I couldn't get a new car if I wanted to. Well, you can get a new car.
  577. 36:35 seeing where you got the fifty dollar bill
  578. 36:38 Are you nuts?
  579. 36:39 Nuts.
  580. 36:40 Okay.
  581. 36:42 I don't think so.
  582. 36:46 David. Yes? Here are the plates for the green sedan. See who's ready for delivery in the morning. Yes. Oh, and David, let me catch you putting in ten gallons of gas this time. Six is plenty. Yes, sir.
  583. 37:07 There goes the last new car we'll have this month. I've got to get it tonight or blow town tomorrow.
  584. 37:17 Oh, boy, am I in a mess.
  585. 37:21 Hey, Dan. Dan, I, uh... I was just thinking if, uh... I'm not gonna take Helen out anymore. I thought maybe I'd give her a call sometime. Yeah, sure. Why don't you do that, Jack?
  586. 38:16 I'm going to go.
  587. 38:36 Hey, uh... Hey, fella.
  588. 38:39 This thing is stuck back here.
  589. 38:48 It's the green sedan, the second in California Street. It's got license plates. That's fine. That's fine.
  590. 38:54 Well, I promise you I know nothing.
  591. 38:56 Absolutely nothing. Wait, what's the matter?
  592. 38:58 I want the handkerchief. Yeah.
  593. 39:01 Come on.
  594. 39:04 You let go of this and I'll go of this. You let go of it and I'll let go of it. Okay.
  595. 39:08 What are you going to do with the car? That's not all of your business anymore. Well, I'll tell you I'm...
  596. 39:14 I sold it to a gambler friend of mine. He's driving it home to Nevada. I see that he does. I don't want him around town here. It's not the kidding.
  597. 39:20 - Don't worry, he's going home tonight. - No, sir.
  598. 39:24 OK.
  599. 39:26 Oh, my God.
  600. 39:51 - Freddy. - Yeah?
  601. 39:55 Now I know who took that green sedan.
  602. 40:01 Do? Yeah. I could tell the police about it right this minute. But I don't know whether that would help me get back the car or not. You understand?
  603. 40:11 No, I, uh... I don't. Now, I'm not interested in sending anybody to jail, Brady. I'm interested in getting back that car.
  604. 40:22 I don't know why you're telling me all this, Mr. McClendon. Oh, yes, you do. An employee of this firm stole that sedan.
  605. 40:30 And I happen to know who it is because it was seen.
  606. 40:34 If you're trying to pin this thing on me, Mr. McGinn. Now, don't try to run any bluffs, please. How many times do I have to tell you that? You don't have to tell me anything. All you have to do is to get that car down here parked out in front before I get down tomorrow.
  607. 40:47 What if I haven't got it? What if I don't know where it is? But you did have it and you do know where it is. Well, I don't anymore.
  608. 41:00 it three thousand dollars three thousand dollars what that only less for 1950 you don't think i'd sell to you at least three thousand dollars where would a guy like me get any dough like that almost everybody's got a family someplace where folks would go to a lot of trouble to keep a man out of jail not much now look i'll give you 24 hours brady i want the money or i want the automobile now let
  609. 41:30 The end of the day is a very good day.
  610. 41:37 No.
  611. 41:39 I'm going to go.
  612. 41:45 There might as well have been three million.
  613. 41:47 I tried to remember who could have seen me in the green sedan.
  614. 41:50 Nobody'd known I had it except Nick.
  615. 41:52 Nick.
  616. 41:53 Maybe that was who told the old man. Nick hated me. He'd cut my throat for a nickel.
  617. 42:00 Oh!
  618. 42:03 What's the matter with you tonight?
  619. 42:05 You look like you lost your last friend.
  620. 42:07 How'd you like to go to Texas, honey? Right now, right away. Are you kidding? I'm on the level.
  621. 42:13 Uh-huh.
  622. 42:15 What's the matter with California?
  623. 42:17 Weather getting too warm?
  624. 42:20 I
  625. 42:23 Tell you about it later.
  626. 42:26 So I'm in a worse jam than ever. My boss is going to throw me in the brig if I don't get a hold of 3,000 bucks or else. Where am I going to get a hold of 3,000 bucks?
  627. 42:39 I know where there's three or four thousand dollars. Yeah, First National Bank. No, not in any bank. But we can get at it. We can get at it easy. All you have to do is to break a little catch lock on a rickety old door. You can pry it open with your fingernails.
  628. 42:56 I'm in too deep already.
  629. 43:09 This is the end of the month.
  630. 43:10 That's when Nick keeps the money overnight. Nick.
  631. 43:14 You mean Nick at the Penny Arcade? Uh-huh.
  632. 43:17 There'll be thousands of dollars there tonight.
  633. 43:19 What would Nick be doing with that kind of thing? He charges people for cashing checks. Today's a big payday. A lot of them will bring their checks in in the morning before the banks open. And he doesn't even have a safe. He hides it.
  634. 43:37 I know where.
  635. 43:43 It was Nick who got me into all this.
  636. 43:44 Letting it get you out.
  637. 43:47 Then you won't have to go to Texas.
  638. 43:50 I hope I can stay here.
  639. 43:53 Raymond.
  640. 43:54 What's the matter?
  641. 43:57 Someone is watching us from the house.
  642. 44:00 I'm sorry.
  643. 44:04 It's only old Snoop. - Who? The landlady. She's always looking for trouble. You know, I had a news program on the air the other night, and she busted in and tried to tell me I had a man in my room.
  644. 44:17 She's still watching.
  645. 44:21 Well, let's give her something to watch.
  646. 44:24 stay out here in the gut for the watchman if i see him coming i'll honk the horn floor three times so i'll know it's you all right good luck
  647. 44:54 I'm going to go.
  648. 46:43 I'll shoot!
  649. 46:56 Come on.
  650. 47:56 Let's get out of here.
  651. 48:26 Get out of here quick!
  652. 48:39 Did you get the money? Yeah. I heard shooting. What happened? The night watchman saw me. Well, you took a big chance tonight and you got away with it. You ought to be tickled to death. Well, I'm not. I feel like I'm being shoved into a corner and if I don't get out soon, it'll be too late. Maybe it's too late already. But you can stop worrying.
  653. 48:56 Now you've got the money in your pocket to pay your way out. Yeah. Yeah, that's right. I've got the money. That'll square everything on it. I wonder how much there is. Feels like a lot.
  654. 49:07 Let's take it up to my room and count it. All right.
  655. 49:22 Come on.
  656. 49:26 I'm going to go.
  657. 49:28 Pull down her shades.
  658. 49:30 I'm not.
  659. 49:39 500 in each of these packages. Two, three...
  660. 49:42 Four.
  661. 49:43 Five, six, seven.
  662. 49:45 That's $3,500.
  663. 49:47 All right.
  664. 49:49 Twenty. Twenty.
  665. 49:50 Forty.
  666. 49:55 A hundred and ten...
  667. 49:57 That's $3,610.
  668. 49:59 That's a lot of dough.
  669. 50:01 I got some more money that I could make in a year working every day.
  670. 50:06 What's the coppers?
  671. 50:10 Just like I thought. What's the big idea? Who said you can come in? I have rules in this house. This is a clean, respectable place.
  672. 50:17 Well, you got no right in here. Now get out! I don't allow no men in the rooms. Not in my house.
  673. 50:23 And I am not leaving until he goes.
  674. 50:29 You're leaving right now.
  675. 50:31 Maybe you'd rather I'd call the cops. Why, you old bad-letters! Shut it out, will you? We don't want any trouble, especially now. Maybe I ought to go.
  676. 50:40 You think you can...
  677. 50:41 Take care of everything, all right?
  678. 50:42 Oh.
  679. 50:44 Yeah, sure, Denny. Don't worry.
  680. 50:47 I can take care of everything.
  681. 50:49 I'll call you in the morning.
  682. 50:56 I don't want any of your kind around here. When your rent's up, you can move out.
  683. 51:02 Scream!
  684. 51:04 Hello, is Vera Novak there? Hey, you're gonna wait a thing out today. Oh, this is her
  685. 51:09 Why don't you forget about us? You just need a minute, please. Will you sh-- do me a favor and shut up, please.
  686. 51:13 Sorry. Well, this is her day off. She wouldn't be at the restaurant.
  687. 51:17 Look, when she comes in, would you tell her to call Dan Brady at Mackey Motor? It's very important. As soon as she comes in.
  688. 51:21 don't know.
  689. 51:26 Well, Brady. Well? I didn't see that green sedan when I came down this morning. No, you didn't, did you? Does that mean you can't get it back? Does it mean anything you want it to mean?
  690. 51:36 Well, then I assume you intend to pay for the car instead. Oh, do you?
  691. 51:39 How long will it take you to get the money?
  692. 51:43 I've got it all right.
  693. 51:44 Yes?
  694. 51:45 Fine. Why don't you come right into the office? Well, I haven't got it on me. I...
  695. 51:49 I'll have to pick it up tonight after work. I'll bring it in the morning.
  696. 51:52 Why wait till tomorrow?
  697. 51:54 I'll come right back after dinner tonight. You can see me in the office then.
  698. 51:58 No.
  699. 52:00 It might be 10:00 or so.
  700. 52:02 It's all mine, crazy.
  701. 52:04 Perfectly all right. See you tonight.
  702. 52:11 Back in the morning.
  703. 52:12 Hello, Vera. Where have you been?
  704. 52:17 Did you take care of everything all right?
  705. 52:21 Oh, gosh.
  706. 52:22 Well, that's swell, baby. Look, I'll, uh...
  707. 52:24 I'll be over and see you tonight as soon as I get off work, right after 6 o'clock.
  708. 52:29 Oh.
  709. 52:44 Is that you, Danny? Yeah.
  710. 52:46 Some writing.
  711. 52:47 I'm going to go.
  712. 52:56 Isn't it beautiful, Danny?
  713. 52:59 Oh, Danny. Danny. I might never have had it if it hadn't been for you. Where'd you get the coat? I bought it. I bought it with what?
  714. 53:07 With my share of the money.
  715. 53:09 He's your end.
  716. 53:14 You took half that door and bought a coat with it? Not just a coat, Danny. A mean coat. You sold me out. Oh, now, just a minute.
  717. 53:21 Who told you where the money was? Who told you how to get it?
  718. 53:23 Isn't that worth half? I can't use half. I need $3,000. Oh, don't be a chump.
  719. 53:28 Nobody expects to get everything you ask for.
  720. 53:30 Make him an offer. That's what I did. What you did? Sure.
  721. 53:33 This coat cost $2,000.
  722. 53:35 I told the furrier 1800 was all I had and he could take it or leave it.
  723. 53:39 He took it
  724. 53:40 Mm.
  725. 53:41 What it is to be old man.
  726. 53:43 Tell him it's all you can value.
  727. 53:45 I bet anything he takes it.
  728. 54:17 Oh, my God.
  729. 54:22 Well, Brady, I'm glad you're doing the sensible thing.
  730. 54:33 There's only 1800 here. That's right.
  731. 54:36 Where's the rest of it?
  732. 54:37 I couldn't dig it up.
  733. 54:39 Take it or leave it.
  734. 54:41 I'll take it.
  735. 54:46 I
  736. 54:54 It be the police station.
  737. 54:56 What's the idea? I told you I'd forget about the whole thing for $3,000, but not for $1,800.
  738. 55:03 Now, if you've got the rest of it on you, you'd better pay me now before it's too late.
  739. 55:07 Why, you... Come on. Get away with the train. Get straight.
  740. 55:37 I'm sorry.
  741. 56:43 Dan! Hey, Danny boy! Hi, Chuck. Hi, Ellen. Hey, Danny, I missed your quitting time tonight. I wanted to say goodbye.
  742. 56:50 Ah.
  743. 56:51 Yeah, I quit today.
  744. 56:53 I'm through with that screwball, Maggie. I told you what he tried to pull on me, didn't I? No, no, you didn't.
  745. 56:57 Well, you remember the night the sedan disappeared?
  746. 56:59 Well, the next morning, he called me in his office and tried to tell me I swiped it.
  747. 57:02 Said what?
  748. 57:03 Like I'm telling you, he said I stole the car.
  749. 57:05 Gave me a lot of hooey about somebody seeing me drive away.
  750. 57:09 I'm all mixed up. Let me get this thing straight. He said that he saw you drive that car away. And that ain't all. Yesterday he called me in his office and he had some screwy idea. I should get three thousand bucks for my old man to pay for the seat. Now how nuts can a guy get?
  751. 57:20 He didn't know anything at all. He was just fishing around. Putting up pressure on everybody hoping something would turn up. Yeah, I should have let him have one talking to me like that.
  752. 57:26 Some of these days that old man is going to get his neck in a sling.
  753. 57:31 back in the sleep.
  754. 57:34 Oh.
  755. 57:34 Yeah.
  756. 57:36 Yeah, he had it coming, though, didn't he?
  757. 57:38 Paul's trying to outsmart everybody, but he got too smart.
  758. 57:41 Yeah, he got so smart he got his neck in a sling.
  759. 57:44 Ha!
  760. 57:45 Ha ha ha ha ha! Oh ho ho! Oh, Daddy, Daddy, what is it? What is the matter?
  761. 57:52 Go.
  762. 57:53 Ah.
  763. 57:55 I...
  764. 57:56 I have a date here.
  765. 57:58 I'm late already.
  766. 58:09 Come in.
  767. 58:11 Well, how'd it go? Did he take the money? Yeah, yeah, he took it. I told you he would. Pack your things. We've got to get out of here.
  768. 58:17 What are you talking about? He tried to call the cops. I had to stop them.
  769. 58:20 Stop him.
  770. 58:22 How? Never mind. Pack your things. Stop clowning, Danny. How? I'm not clowning. He tried to call the cops. I had to take the phone away from him.
  771. 58:29 He pulled a gun on me. I...
  772. 58:31 I strangled him.
  773. 58:32 On the level? On the level.
  774. 58:34 Look, they won't find him until in the morning. By that time, we'll be halfway to Texas painting.
  775. 58:37 You'll be halfway to Texas.
  776. 58:39 Not me, but the cops will be after us.
  777. 58:41 They won't be after me.
  778. 58:43 I don't have to run away.
  779. 58:44 Look, we're in this thing together. You told me to offer him the dough. I didn't tell you to kill him.
  780. 58:48 And I wasn't there when it happened.
  781. 58:50 So why should I stick my neck out and out? What kind of a dame are you? The kind that watches out for herself!
  782. 58:56 If I didn't, who would?
  783. 58:58 Right.
  784. 58:59 You don't care about anybody else, do you?
  785. 59:01 Why, sure I do.
  786. 59:04 I wouldn't want to see anything happen to you, Danny.
  787. 59:08 Certainly wouldn't want to see the cops catch you.
  788. 59:11 Don't you think you better get started to Texas?
  789. 59:15 I'll, uh...
  790. 59:16 I'll kiss you goodbye if you want me to. I would dirty my lips.
  791. 59:27 One more flight.
  792. 59:32 Come on.
  793. 59:40 Come on.
  794. 59:41 I'm going to go.
  795. 59:41 Miss Novak, some gentlemen to see you.
  796. 59:53 You've Novak?
  797. 59:54 But what if I am?
  798. 59:56 - I've got something for you. - Yeah?
  799. 59:58 What is it?
  800. 1:00:00 warranted.
  801. 1:00:05 See what she's got in her purse, Smitty.
  802. 1:00:17 You won't find him in there.
  803. 1:00:20 Go and find who in there. You know who. Dan Brady.
  804. 1:00:23 Oh, yeah, Dan Brady.
  805. 1:00:26 Where will I find him?
  806. 1:00:27 He's getting out of the state as fast as he can drive. Why aren't you getting out, too? I didn't have any part of it. I didn't even know him.
  807. 1:00:33 Didn't know who.
  808. 1:00:36 Say, are you trying to make me look like a fool?
  809. 1:00:39 Mackie, of course.
  810. 1:00:41 Mackey. Which Mackey is that? Oh, the one that ran the automobile agency.
  811. 1:00:44 Ram?
  812. 1:00:46 Well, he can't keep on running it now that he's dead, can he?
  813. 1:00:49 - Dead? Who's dead?
  814. 1:00:50 Mackie, of course.
  815. 1:00:51 Brady killed him. The girl didn't have any part of it.
  816. 1:00:54 Where did it happen?
  817. 1:00:55 You know where. At the autumn of...
  818. 1:00:59 safe.
  819. 1:01:01 Are you trying to kid me? Sure.
  820. 1:01:04 Maybe it's the other way around. Maybe you're trying to kid me.
  821. 1:01:07 Why did you start spilling the minute I came in the door?
  822. 1:01:11 Maybe it's because you wanted me to think your boyfriend had gone when he hadn't.
  823. 1:01:19 How do I know he isn't still here?
  824. 1:01:24 Why didn't you look under the couch? I don't suppose he'd be that near.
  825. 1:01:31 I didn't think you'd be that close.
  826. 1:01:38 Smitty.
  827. 1:01:40 Watch it.
  828. 1:01:51 Where does a dame like you get a coat like this? I bought that coat with my own money. You take your dirty hands off it. I'll bet you did. I can prove it. I got a receipt.
  829. 1:02:00 Here. Here.
  830. 1:02:04 Alaska Furriers, 917 Main Street. Received at Vera Novak $1,800.
  831. 1:02:10 Well, looks like Nick had the right hunch, Schmidt. Nick?
  832. 1:02:13 What do you suppose brought us here? Last night somebody stole $3,600 of Nick's money, and today you paid $1,800 for a fur coat.
  833. 1:02:20 Looks like you and your boyfriend split Nick's bankroll right down the middle. I don't know what you're talking about. Give me back my coat. Don't worry about your coat, sister. We'll take it right with us. Bring her along, Smitty. We'll check on Mackie on the way down to the station.
  834. 1:02:33 Served your right, your hussy. Drop dead.
  835. 1:03:03 What are you doing here? I could see you were in trouble, so I got rid of Chuck and came down.
  836. 1:03:08 Get out of here, quick. What is it, Dean? What's the hole up in the auto-pond? What do you know about that hole? I saw you hiding in the alley that night. The night that Millie and I walked by.
  837. 1:03:17 I couldn't see your features, but I knew that it was you. But then I thought maybe I was imagining things. You know how it is when you love someone. You think you see them 50 times a day. But a minute later you called my name and I turned around and there you were at the head of the alley.
  838. 1:03:31 Then we heard about the hold up in the auto park and I saw the look on your face. Is that all? That's all. Well, why don't you get out and let me get started? I saw the police come out of the house with her. Are they after you two? What if they are? What businesses are yours? But I can help you.
  839. 1:03:48 I don't get it. Why do you want to help me? When things were going my way, all I ever gave you was a runaround. Now that I'm in a jam, why don't you get smart and stay away from me? I've been away from you too long, and it isn't any good. Don't you think I know I'm dumb to throw myself at a guy that doesn't want me? Don't you think I know I'm a fool to stand on the street corner for an hour just waiting for you to come out of a door? I know all that, but I can't help it. I fell in love with you the first time I saw you, Ted.
  840. 1:04:12 I'll drive you home.
  841. 1:04:18 since Helen waited for me outside the garage. Have you been dancing lately, she said, and all I had to do was say, well, I did, let's go out tonight. If I'd have said that, I wouldn't be running away from the cops tonight with a murder hanging over my head.
  842. 1:04:37 No, dear, no.
  843. 1:04:41 Hey, buddy, pull over to the curb.
  844. 1:05:00 Let's take a look at your driver's license.
  845. 1:05:07 Brady.
  846. 1:05:09 That's your name?
  847. 1:05:10 Sure.
  848. 1:05:12 He went through Boulevard Stop back there.
  849. 1:05:16 Will you sign this?
  850. 1:05:18 Yes.
  851. 1:05:25 Take it easy.
  852. 1:05:27 Yeah.
  853. 1:05:31 Helen, you kept me from making an awful mistake.
  854. 1:05:33 If you'll only take me with you, I can help you. I know I can.
  855. 1:05:36 Let me lay it on the mind.
  856. 1:05:38 I'm gonna have to keep running. I'm gonna have to keep running all my life because when they catch up with me, they're gonna hang me.
  857. 1:05:44 For murder, I...
  858. 1:05:47 I killed a man tonight.
  859. 1:05:49 It's Dr. Carney.
  860. 1:05:50 Then tell me how it happened.
  861. 1:05:55 Telling her about it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. And it was Helen who came up with the idea of Mexico. We decided to head for an inland town like Hermosillo, where not many tourists come. A man could be safe for 50 years in a place like that.
  862. 1:06:10 What's that?
  863. 1:06:12 That's goodbye to Mexico.
  864. 1:06:25 Oh, it's the main bearing. It'll take a couple of days to fix.
  865. 1:06:28 Well, then we'll have to hitchhike. And get there by morning, we'd never make it. We have to make it.
  866. 1:06:35 Oh, Helen, I've had the right girl all the time and was too dumb to know about it. If we ever get out of this thing... We're gonna get out of it.
  867. 1:06:41 But how?
  868. 1:06:43 I've got an idea. This is the baby that's going to get us there. What are you going to do with that? Get us a lift, honey. I'll lift straight through to Mexico. Come on. Careful.
  869. 1:07:09 Get in quick. Don't try any funny stuff. I don't want to hurt you. All right.
  870. 1:07:13 No changes get going. Turn south on the highway, keep her under 50 and don't go through any red lights, you understand me?
  871. 1:07:34 May I ask where we're going? Just keep driving, you'll find out.
  872. 1:07:43 You know what you're getting into. This isn't a car theft. It's kidnapping. No one asked you. I don't want your advice. You hear me? Well, I happen to be a lawyer. Maybe... Maybe you can keep your mouth shut, too. No, Dan. Let him talk. He might be able to help. She's right. Whatever it is you're running away from, this is worse. Kidnapping is a capital offense. They can hang you for it.
  873. 1:08:07 What's the difference?
  874. 1:08:10 They're going to hang me anyway.
  875. 1:08:13 I just killed a man.
  876. 1:08:17 How about the girl? You leave her out of it. She had nothing to do with you. Understand me? I believe that. But will the police? Look, son. I can see this girl means something to you. Why don't you tell me what happened? For her sake. She'd need a lawyer sooner or later.
  877. 1:08:39 Maybe you're right.
  878. 1:08:42 If you're sure you could keep her in the clear. If she's innocent,
  879. 1:08:47 whole story and it's the truth truth i don't know where to begin start at the beginning
  880. 1:09:00 the guy was a lawyer and maybe he could help helen so i told him the whole story i told him about sticking up shorty in the auto park and about breaking into the penny arcade in the middle of the night i told him about beer and nick and old man mackie i told him everything that had happened
  881. 1:09:18 I see. Now, the first thing you want to know is where the girl stands. That's right. She's in the clear. They can't touch her. Oh, but how about Dan? You said maybe it wouldn't be murder. It might be manslaughter. Oh, it's murder, all right.
  882. 1:09:34 I might be able to get him off with second degree. They'd have a hard time proving premeditation. Second degree? That'd mean life, wouldn't it? It could.
  883. 1:09:44 I'd rather they hung me.
  884. 1:09:47 There's one discrepancy in your story. It's worth checking up on because if we get the right answer, murder is out. Manslaughter, too. What do you mean? How do you know he's dead? Well, he's dead, that's all. His head fell over on the desk like he was dead. It would do that if he were unconscious. Did you feel his pulse or listen for a heartbeat? No, I didn't. Men don't die easily. They take a lot of killing.
  885. 1:10:18 I can imagine Mackey sitting in a police station right now, telling the desk man what a narrow escape he had.
  886. 1:10:25 If he only was alive, Helen, if he only was alive, I'd give myself up to the first cop that came along. He's an all-night restaurant. Why don't I use their phone to find out how Mackey is? Why don't you keep on driving, too? I'll tell you how Mackey is. He's dead. That's what. He's dead. Oh, but Dan, maybe he isn't. No, he is. I know he isn't. Listen to you. I didn't want to kill anybody.
  887. 1:10:47 funny stuff, I'll... I'll blow a hole right through you. What day is this, Helen? It's Saturday. No, it isn't. It's Sunday morning. We still have a couple of hours before daylight. We can still make it. Turn this car around. Where are we going now? Remember Buzz Larson?
  888. 1:11:17 He's taking a fishing party way down past San Diego this morning. If we can get to the pier in time, I can go with him. To Mexico? Way past the Mexican border. Step on it, will you?
  889. 1:11:35 Hope the boat is still here.
  890. 1:11:38 Yeah. Yeah, there it is. Down there. We made it.
  891. 1:11:48 We'd better hurry. I'd better hurry, not you. Oh, I'm going with you, Dan. There's no harbor below San Diego. I'll have to swim in from the sea. But I'm going with you, Dan. You've taken too many chances already. I've got to go on by myself from here. I'll send for you as soon as I get a job. You know that, don't you, baby? Yes, but... Oh, Dan, don't go. I'm so afraid. There's nothing to be afraid of. Hey, wait a minute. Maybe there is. How are we going to keep this guy from going to the cops till after the boat pulls out of the harbor? I'll keep him away. Give me the gun. I wouldn't do that if I were you. Why not?
  892. 1:12:17 in the clear. She won't be if she takes that gun. After that, she'll be an accessory. Oh, don't listen to him, Dan. You've got to get away from the clear. No, he's right. You've got to be kept out of this. That's all that's important now. Would you take my word for something? I might. As a citizen, I have to notify the police, but as...
  893. 1:12:32 But as a friend, I don't have to hurry.
  894. 1:12:41 Would you do me another favor?
  895. 1:12:43 - If I can. - Don't wait until the boat pulls out of the harbor. Leave now. - I'll get her out of here right away. - Thanks.
  896. 1:13:11 And you haven't seen Brady since noon Monday? No, I haven't. And you haven't heard from him either? Nope. Wait a minute, I just remembered. He phoned me Monday afternoon. For any particular reason? Yeah, I owed him 20 bucks. He said he needed it. There's a news broadcast at 6 o'clock. I want to hear it before I talk to the authorities. ...regarding every airport, every bus depot, and every railroad station in a determined effort to prevent the killer's escape.
  897. 1:13:36 this morning, officers threw roadblocks across both state highways, and are now stopping all outbound cars. But at last reports, McDonald was still at large. McDonald? Meanwhile, police officers Truxton and Chandler are dead, and Deputy Sheriff Allen P. Janis was taken to the emergency hospital with two bullets in his thigh. I'll get it a little louder. Closer to home, Beach City authorities are seeking garage mechanic Daniel Brady, 26, an employee of the Mackey Motor Company. Late yesterday evening, watchman Michael J. O'Brien, while making his regular nightly
  898. 1:14:06 rounds discovered the unconscious body of oran mackie president of the automobile agency lying in his office mackey regained consciousness at st mark's hospital shortly after midnight and named brady as his assailant he's alive now you want to watch yourself run into that kid
  899. 1:14:23 what's dangerous about him he's got mackie's gun
  900. 1:14:36 Who's that for then? That might be our boy. Take a look at him.
  901. 1:15:02 You there, stop!
  902. 1:15:06 Hey, Brady! Watch yourself.
  903. 1:15:13 Mars! Wait a minute! Wait a minute!
  904. 1:15:57 Watch yourself, he's shooting. I'll go after him when you see him talk.
  905. 1:16:27 I heard shooting!
  906. 1:16:36 Did you see him? No, he didn't come through here.
  907. 1:16:46 Look, what's that?
  908. 1:16:53 I'm coming, Dan. It's all right. You didn't kill him, Dan.
  909. 1:16:58 Hey, what's going on? What happened? Cops. They shot a cops. I heard about it on the radio. I heard about who? Who? Oh, the guy that killed a couple of cops. He raised the cops.
  910. 1:17:06 I don't know. They shot somebody. Yeah, here he is. He ain't worried, Bigger. Take care of him. I'm out. Great, I'll stand back, folks. Jim Rohn. There's a guy that got shot right there.
  911. 1:17:18 Yeah, right there.
  912. 1:17:20 Now, where'd you say your automobile was? On the pier, right over there. Fine, well, put him in the car and I'll drive him straight to the hospital, if that's all right with you. Certainly. You didn't save much time instead of waiting for the ambulance. I wouldn't have shot you, honey. I thought you had a gun. What'd you do with it? I dropped it. What do you think they're going to give me?
  913. 1:17:36 before no no well I think we can rule out the watch and the $20 bill
  914. 1:17:41 They'll probably charge you with the holdup.
  915. 1:17:43 Stealing the car and breaking into the Penny Arcade.
  916. 1:17:46 That could add up to anything from one to ten years.
  917. 1:17:50 But since you're a first offender, my guess is that it'll be nearer one than ten. Whatever it is, I'll take it.
  918. 1:17:56 Whenever it is.
  919. 1:17:58 I'll be waiting for you, Dan. If you want me to. You're a great gal, Helen.
  920. 1:18:03 I love you, Dan. That goes both ways.
