00:01:00And why we make up a lot of clever things to say
00:01:24And when you meet him, you finally greet him
00:01:28With a something that sounds like a child of two
00:01:31Cause the cat's got your tongue when he's close to you
00:01:34This situation, this indication
00:01:39Means you're in business with a thing called love
00:01:43Hello Dutch
00:01:44Just make your mind up
00:01:46There's a little present for you guys from the syndicate
00:01:54Yes sir, yes sir, yes sir
00:02:07Lionel, a couple of guys just got blasted in the root fire
00:02:10Lionel, operator, police headquarters please
00:02:18Positively amazing
00:02:20A couple of guys get murdered in a crowded cafe and nobody sees them
00:02:23Well, some of the patrons might have seen it
00:02:25They landed out here right after it happened
00:02:27You know who they were?
00:02:29Not by name, no
00:02:31You're a big help to me, Smitty, thanks
00:02:33Lutz, I hear they went right by you
00:02:35Yes sir
00:02:37Think if I took you down to Central and showed you a couple of photographs, you could identify them?
00:02:40No, you see sir, I was so scared, I couldn't take my eyes off the guns
00:02:44I see
00:02:45Well, maybe if you people spend a little time as guests of the state, it'll improve your memory, huh?
00:02:52Put him in the cooler, Blake
00:02:53Yes sir, Captain, what's the charge?
00:02:55I don't know yet
00:02:58All right, folks, put his newspaper in there, will you?
00:03:04All right, boys, the Captain will see you now
00:03:10Hello, Captain
00:03:11Hiya, boys
00:03:14At 11.05 p.m. tonight,
00:03:16Danny Denton and Dutch Cripe, alleged members of the Bugs Kelly mob,
00:03:20were shot to death here by persons unknown for reasons unknown
00:03:24That's it, boys
00:03:25Is that all, Captain?
00:03:26That's all I know
00:03:27Weren't there any witnesses to the crime?
00:03:29There were, we couldn't find them, they landed before we got here
00:03:32Well, wasn't that considerate of them?
00:03:34See you later
00:03:36Don't lose your sense of humor, Captain
00:03:38The job of a crime reporter is just as thankless as yours
00:03:42Guess you're right, Jim
00:03:44Oh, by the way, who's Bugs Kelly been squeezing lately?
00:03:47How would I know?
00:03:48I thought you and he were palsy-wowsy
00:03:51I get to know all the mugs, that's my business
00:03:53Uh-huh
00:03:55Well, next time you see Bugs, just tell him I was inquiring, eh?
00:03:58Okay, so long
00:04:11Whoever it is, he's okay, let him in, Slim
00:04:16It's me, is it Big Fella, Slim?
00:04:17Hi, Jim, yeah, come on in
00:04:18Hiya, Bugs
00:04:19Hiya, pal, long time no see
00:04:21Yeah, hello, Lou
00:04:22Hiya, sir
00:04:23Pull up a chair, Jim, and tell me what's on your mind
00:04:25Have you been stepping on anybody's toes lately?
00:04:27No, why?
00:04:28I've got bad news for you
00:04:30A couple of your boys were rubbed out last night at Smitty's
00:04:32and they're in a lot of pain
00:04:33They're in a lot of pain
00:04:34They're in a lot of pain
00:04:35They're in a lot of pain
00:04:36They're in a lot of pain
00:04:37They're in a lot of pain
00:04:38They're in a lot of pain
00:04:39They're in a lot of pain
00:04:40A couple of your boys were rubbed out last night at Smitty's Cafe
00:04:42Vanny and Dutch
00:04:44Did the coppers tag anybody?
00:04:46A few reluctant witnesses
00:04:48But Captain Ferroni figures you know the answer
00:04:51Well, it wouldn't be hard to run down the guys who did the job
00:04:54Another crime syndicate killing, huh?
00:04:56What else?
00:04:57They gave me 30 days to join up with them and the time was up yesterday
00:05:01What a story that would make if I knew it was back at the syndicate
00:05:04I wish I knew
00:05:06You wish you knew
00:05:08I'll give you 10 grand for just one name
00:05:10and I'm going to make it my business to find out who pulls the strings
00:05:12for the outfit you call crime incorporated in that column of yours
00:05:26Yes, sir
00:05:28Have you a copy of the daily news?
00:05:30Yes, sir
00:05:31Refer to page 3, column 1
00:05:33Yes, sir
00:05:39Have you read the story?
00:05:40Yes, sir
00:05:41You don't find Bucks Kelly's name among the deceased, do you?
00:05:45No, sir
00:05:46Well, that's where we want to find it
00:05:48So make the necessary arrangements
00:05:50Yes, sir

00:06:39Hi
00:06:41That's Pat Coyle, the celebrated criminal lawyer
00:06:44Isn't he handsome?
00:06:47Is he the one who always wins a privilege for his clients?
00:06:50Yes, that's him
00:06:51And he certainly collects enormous fees
00:06:53Who says crime doesn't pay?
00:07:07What a fool I was to lie to you What a fool I was to be untrue
00:07:22If I could only take away my mistake of yesterday I'd never be a fool again
00:07:36I'll be sorry for a million years Way down deep I've cried a million tears
00:07:49For I made my heart break It just took that one mistake to show you
00:07:58What a fool I was
00:08:20Have you any roast lamb? Best in town.
00:08:29Him too? Uh-huh. In the interest of personal security.
00:08:45Hey, look who's here. Hello, Tony. What's cooking?
00:08:48Some nice roast lamb. Roast lamb, huh? I didn't look at the menu.
00:08:52Getting aside, I'd like to place a bet for Bob Littell.
00:08:55How much does he want to bet? $5,000. I'll guarantee it.
00:08:59Five grand? Okay. What horses Littell picked for the killing?
00:09:02I'm not circulating any hot tips around here. Give me your book. I'll write it down.
00:09:07Well, I've got to go back to the office. Anybody going my way?
00:09:10Yes, I am. I've got to go too. I've got a date.
00:09:14See you later, fellas.
00:09:38Hello. Oh, hello, Slim. Find out anything?
00:10:07Plenty, Chief. I found a place where they've been cooking the roast lamb.
00:10:10You don't say.
00:10:12Believe it or not, but I've just been sitting in at your wake.
00:10:15Where were they holding the services?
00:10:17Right where you had the hunch in the Club Boheme bar.
00:10:20Tony Marlowe gave the order for your execution, and Bob Littell has to do the trigger work.
00:10:24We've got to teach this syndicate a lesson they won't forget for a while.
00:10:38Wait for me, Bill. I won't be long.
00:10:52Come on. Put your hands down, bud. This ain't no stickup.
00:10:56What do you want?
00:10:57Come on. Let's take a walk.
00:10:59I'm going to borrow your camp for a little while, buddy. Do you mind?
00:11:02Why pick on me? I never did you no harm.
00:11:04No one's going to do you any harm if you don't get too curious. Come on. Let's go.
00:11:08You're sweet, Trixie. One of these days, we're going to get married.
00:11:12When, Tony?
00:11:13Oh, soon. I'll have a flock of doves, salt it away, and we'll blow this town.
00:11:17Why wait, darling? I'd love you if you didn't have a dime.
00:11:20It won't be a long wait. The way the rackets are paying off now.
00:11:23Well, good night, dear. See you tomorrow.
00:11:26And be careful, won't you?
00:11:29I'm always careful. Of course. You know that.
00:11:32You know that.
00:11:45Get in, Tony. I want to have a little talk with you.
00:11:48Okay, bud.
00:11:50Nice night, isn't it?
00:11:58Do you mind telling me what it's all about?
00:12:00Not at all.
00:12:02I hear you've been giving out some hot tips to the horses.
00:12:06I thought maybe you'd give me some.
00:12:10Somebody's been giving you the wrong steer.
00:12:12I never play the ponies.
00:12:13Stop stalling.
00:12:15I'm talking about the five grand tip he gave out tonight.
00:12:20Maybe this will refresh your memory.
00:12:24I see you recognize your handwriting.
00:12:26Well, how much you want, folks?
00:12:30Name your price and I'll get it for you.
00:12:33Only just give me a break.
00:12:35Danny and Dutch didn't get a break.
00:12:37Somebody wrote their names on a piece of paper.
00:12:41Well, you...
00:12:43You wouldn't give me the words without giving me a chance to explain, would you?
00:12:47Well, maybe that could be arranged,
00:12:49providing you'll do exactly what I say.
00:12:53I'll do anything you want. I'll do...
00:12:54Hey, shut up!
00:12:56Until we get to where I'm taking you.
00:13:01There, Tony.
00:13:02Sit down and make yourself at home.
00:13:04Now, Tony, you can pay the first installment on your life insurance.
00:13:08I want you to phone Bob Littell and tell him to meet you in a half hour
00:13:11at the corner of 3rd and Garfield.
00:13:13Yeah, but that'll be putting a finger on a friend.
00:13:15You catch on fast.
00:13:17I'm paying off a bet, Tony.
00:13:19To you or Bob Littell?
00:13:22Which do you prefer?
00:13:24To you or Bob Littell?
00:13:27Which do you prefer?
00:13:48Hello?
00:13:49Oh, yes, Tony. What's giving out?
00:13:51I want to get a message from Bob Littell. Do you know where he is?
00:13:53Sure, I can get a message, too. What is it?
00:13:573rd and Garfield, huh?
00:14:00Okay, Tony. Goodbye.
00:14:23What are you so nervous about, Tony?
00:14:25They're not coming for you.
00:14:33What's new, Lou? Anything interesting been happening?
00:14:36Not much.
00:14:37Oh, yeah, a guy by the name of Littell
00:14:39got gunned down the corner of 3rd and Garfield.
00:14:45Can you imagine that?
00:14:47Can you imagine that?
00:15:17North speaking.
00:15:19Who?
00:15:21Bugs Kelly.
00:15:23Oh, quit your kidding.
00:15:24I'm not kidding, Barry.
00:15:26I just called up to tell you that Bob Littell
00:15:28lost the five grand bet Tony Marlowe placed with you.
00:15:41I wish these hoodlums would be more considerate
00:15:43and do their killings at a reasonable hour
00:15:45so us reporters could get some sleep.
00:15:47It's tough on you guys. Why don't you join the homicide squad?
00:15:50Do you suppose this Littell killing has got anything to do
00:15:52with the rub-out at Smitty's?
00:15:54No, Littell was only a petty last-day hood.
00:15:56The guys that got it at Smitty's were big stuff.
00:15:58Say, what do you think about it, Jim?
00:16:00You got any ideas?
00:16:02I think there's a connection.
00:16:03I'm convinced that crime in our city is incorporated
00:16:05like any big business.
00:16:07If you know so much about it, why don't you write a book?
00:16:09That's just what I'm going to do, if I ever get time.
00:16:16Nice.
00:16:22Did you get the thing on that third and Garfield kill?
00:16:24Not much. A two-bit gunman, Robert Littell,
00:16:26caught three slugs of lead from a person of persons unknown.
00:16:29Just another gang reprisal killing.
00:16:31But I got onto something that's really something.
00:16:33I'll show you my lead as soon as I phone the city morgue.
00:16:45Hello?
00:16:47Stacy?
00:16:49Jim Riley speaking.
00:16:50I'm looking for a body.
00:16:52Male, about five feet ten, weighed 185 pounds,
00:16:55wearing a tux with a flower in lapel.
00:16:57No soap, huh?
00:16:59Don't want you blind, pal.
00:17:01No, I'm not giving out any hints this season.
00:17:03Good riddance.
00:17:15Come on.
00:17:45Jim Riley?
00:17:47Oh, hello, Bugs.
00:17:49Yeah, I got your message about 5 a.m.
00:17:54How do you expect me to keep up my social obligations
00:17:56when you guys keep me up all night looking at stiffs?
00:17:59What's on your mind?
00:18:01Well, I'd like you to do me a little favor, Jim.
00:18:04I'd like you to accompany me on a little trip to Atlantic City.
00:18:06It's a personal matter that's important to me.
00:18:09I'd like to, Bugs, but there's a certain story
00:18:12that's about to bust in my face, and my boss might object.
00:18:16Well, what's the story about?
00:18:18Maybe I can help you out.
00:18:20Well, there's a certain big-shot proprietor
00:18:22of a drink, dine, and dance emporium
00:18:24who took an unwilling taxi ride this morning,
00:18:26and his close friends are wondering
00:18:28what the fare is going to be to get him back.
00:18:30Seems to me I heard something about that.
00:18:33Say, how would you like an exclusive
00:18:35on how the story's going to end?
00:18:37How would I like to?
00:18:39Say, when do we start on that trip you mentioned?
00:18:44Okay.
00:18:46I know we're bound for Atlantic City,
00:18:48but what are we going to do when we get there?
00:18:50Well, I'm hoping you'll do me a big personal favor, pal.
00:18:53And if you do, I'll give you the news story of the year.
00:18:56Well, can't you give me a hint right now?
00:18:58Well, I suppose it would be worth something to you,
00:19:00wouldn't it, to know who's back of the crime syndicate?
00:19:03Would it? You know, I'd write a book.
00:19:06Bugs, I wouldn't be able to thank you enough.
00:19:08I'll show you how you can when we get to Atlantic City.
00:19:11And where we're going, don't call me Bugs.
00:19:14It's Mike Egan, my real name.
00:19:20I, this is sweet surrender
00:19:27My alibi is your touch so tender
00:19:37Now I confess
00:19:59I'm not just talking about our city.
00:20:01That's what I'm trying to think.
00:20:02How would you like to meet her?
00:20:04What?
00:20:05I'm thinking of you
00:20:14Goodbye
00:20:19I'll ask you to thank you
00:20:25For all that you've done
00:20:29That's right.
00:20:30I, this is sweet surrender
00:20:38My alibi is your touch so tender
00:20:50Now I confess
00:21:00I'm not just talking about our city.
00:21:03That's what I'm trying to think.
00:21:05How would you like to meet her?
00:21:07What?
00:21:08I'll ask you to thank you
00:21:13For all that you've done
00:21:17That's right. I, this is sweet surrender
00:21:23My alibi is your touch so tender
00:21:29Now I confess
00:21:34I'm not just talking about our city.
00:21:36That's what I'm trying to think.
00:21:38How would you like to meet her?
00:21:40What?
00:21:41I'll ask you to thank you
00:21:44For all that you've done
00:21:48That's right. I, this is sweet surrender
00:21:52My alibi is your touch so tender
00:21:58Now I confess
00:22:00I'm not just talking about our city.
00:22:03That's what I'm trying to think.
00:22:05How would you like to meet her?
00:22:07What?
00:22:08I'll ask you to thank you
00:22:12For all that you've done
00:22:16That's right. I, this is sweet surrender
00:22:21My alibi is your touch so tender
00:22:27Now I confess
00:22:29I'm not just talking about our city.
00:22:32That's what I'm trying to think.
00:22:34How would you like to meet her?
00:22:36What?
00:22:37I'll ask you to thank you
00:22:40For all that you've done
00:22:46What are you thinking about, Jim?
00:22:48You've been a clam for 25 miles at least.
00:22:51Oh, I was just thinking about Betty.
00:22:53She's a wonderful girl, Bugs.
00:22:55You think she's pretty nice, huh?
00:22:56That isn't the half of it.
00:22:58Well, she's freeing over 21.
00:23:00And Jim, you're okay with me.
00:23:02Thanks.
00:23:04When are you going to Frisco?
00:23:06Well, that was just a stall.
00:23:09You see, I nearly got burned up last night.
00:23:11You nearly got burned up, huh?
00:23:13There, see what a close call I had?
00:23:15This was the order for my execution.
00:23:17Who ordered your execution?
00:23:19The operator of a popular night spot.
00:23:21Twenty mile an hour.
00:23:23Well, I can tell you this much.
00:23:25Tony Marlowe is one of the big shots of Crime Incorporated.
00:23:29And the deceased Bob Littell was hired to do the trigger work on you?
00:23:33Is that a good guess?
00:23:35Could be.
00:23:36But you can't prove it by him.
00:23:38That's why you grabbed Tony Marlowe.
00:23:40So you could sweat the names of the other big shots out of him, huh?
00:23:43How am I doing?
00:23:44Well, I know the fellows that picked him up.
00:23:46But I'm not giving out the names.
00:23:48But there's a rumor around that it'll cost the syndicate a hundred grand to get him back.
00:23:53It must be a big shot if they want to pay that much for him.
00:23:57Right.
00:23:58And it's my guess it'll be a bigger shot who'll do the paying off.
00:24:01Maybe the top man of Crime Incorporated.
00:24:05Your rights, as well as the grand jury's authority, are perfectly clear, I presume?
00:24:09Yes, sir.
00:24:10Very well, then. We'll proceed.
00:24:12Mr. Kelly, these three men were shot to death within the last 72 hours.
00:24:16What do you know about it?
00:24:18What I read in the papers.
00:24:20They were executed by gunshot wounds.
00:24:22They were shot in the head.
00:24:24They were shot in the head.
00:24:26They were shot in the head.
00:24:28They were shot in the head.
00:24:30They were shot in the head.
00:24:32I read in the papers.
00:24:34They were executed by gangland order, weren't they?
00:24:36Were they?
00:24:37Cripe and Denton were your employees, weren't they?
00:24:39No, sir.
00:24:40Somebody's been giving you a wrong steer.
00:24:43Oh, stop lying, Kelly.
00:24:45Even the school kids know that they were your trigger men.
00:24:47Then why don't you question the school kids, Mr. Foreman?
00:24:51Isn't it a fact that these killings occurred because an organization of racketeers
00:24:55made overtures to you to join with them and you refused?
00:24:58I don't know what you're talking about.
00:25:02I quote from the crime reporter in a recent issue of the Daily News.
00:25:06I understand that the debonair operator of one of our swankiest night spots
00:25:11took an unexpected taxi ride this morning
00:25:14and is being detained for reasons which will probably soon become known
00:25:18to his associates, unquote.
00:25:21What do you know about that, Mr. Kelly?
00:25:23Why don't you ask Jim Riley?
00:25:25It was his story, not mine.
00:25:28That's what we intend to do, but while you're here and under oath,
00:25:31do you happen to know the identity of this night spot operator and those who detained him?
00:25:38I suppose you'll even deny that you're a racketeer.
00:25:41I wouldn't bother to deny it.
00:25:43You gentlemen wouldn't believe me if I did.
00:25:50Just what do you do for a living, Mr. Kelly?
00:25:53I'm a life insurance agent.
00:25:55My office is at 8457 Canal Street,
00:25:59in case you're ever in that neighborhood.
00:26:02Do any of you gentlemen of the jury wish to continue the questioning?
00:26:04I don't.
00:26:06That's all, Kelly.
00:26:08Thank you, gentlemen.
00:26:12We have just time for a short recess before the police bring over our next witness, Adolph Lutz.
00:26:17We're not going to let a thing happen to you.
00:26:22Hey, try that hotel across the street.
00:26:24That shot could have come from one of those upper windows.
00:26:26Yes, Captain.
00:26:28I'm dying.
00:26:29I knew they'd get me if I talked.
00:26:32Take it easy, Lutz. You're not dying.
00:26:34You're just nicked to the shoulder.
00:26:36Get the ambulance, please.
00:26:37Yes, Captain.
00:26:40Thank you, Captain.
00:26:51Gentlemen, I have some disappointing news for you.
00:26:53The witness we were expecting was just shot at the very entrance to this building.
00:26:56Oh, was he killed?
00:26:57No, thank heaven, but he's so terrified he won't be any use to us as a witness.
00:27:00Who shot him?
00:27:01The police don't know.
00:27:02They never know anything.
00:27:04Well, I know one thing, gentlemen.
00:27:05This proves there's a leak in the police department.
00:27:07There sure is.
00:27:08And if the invisible government we're fighting is more powerful than law enforcement, we're wasting our time.
00:27:13You're right. We might as well abandon our crime inquiry.
00:27:15Gentlemen, please.
00:27:17Look, I agree with you.
00:27:18These hoodlums do seem to have a temporary advantage over us, but I promise you we'll lick them.
00:27:22The decent people of this city are counting on us to fight these crooks to a finish.
00:27:26Gentlemen, that's just what I intend to do so long as there's a breath of life in my body.
00:27:30Dixon is right, gentlemen.
00:27:31We have a sworn duty to perform, so let's do it no matter what happens.
00:27:34Now, let's adjourn until tomorrow morning and get a fresh start.
00:27:41Come in.
00:27:46You're early today.
00:27:47What happened? One of the jurors have a tummy ache?
00:27:49No.
00:27:50They called a recess because a scheduled witness got shot as the cops were bringing him in.
00:27:54What witness?
00:27:55A waiter at Smitty's Cafe called Adolph Lutz.
00:27:58Another murder, huh?
00:27:59No, he was only wounded.
00:28:01Ah, an old gag called intimidation.
00:28:03Yeah.
00:28:04Here's today's transcript.
00:28:06Thanks, pal.
00:28:11Thanks.
00:28:14I wouldn't be doing this, Jim, but I got myself into a jam a while back and...
00:28:18Yeah, I know how it is.
00:28:19I've been in a lot of those jams myself.
00:28:21Well, I gotta run, Jim.
00:28:22I'll be seeing you.
00:28:23Okay, pal.
00:28:32If I don't get word from Tony pretty soon, that Trixie dame's gonna drive me nuts.
00:28:36Get your feet off the desk.
00:28:38I'm calling every five minutes.
00:28:40What's Bugs waiting for?
00:28:42He knows he'll get paid off.
00:28:44Putting a squeeze on is as much pleasure for him as collecting the bill.
00:28:47Come in.
00:28:50Messenger just brought this for you.
00:28:59This is it, boys.
00:29:01My dear Barry, if you'd like to have the handsome Tony back in the syndicate,
00:29:06this taxi fare will cost you a hundred grand.
00:29:09A hundred grand?
00:29:10He must think I have more girls entrees.
00:29:13Tony ain't worth a hundred grand.
00:29:15Wait a minute, there's more to it.
00:29:17I'll give you 24 hours to raise the cabbage and you'd better kick through, Bugs.
00:29:22P.S.
00:29:23He isn't fooling, Tony.
00:29:26Well, what do we do now?
00:29:29This is too big for me to handle.
00:29:30I've gotta go see a certain party.
00:29:31Stick around, boys.
00:29:32I'll be back shortly.
00:29:35It's Trixie again.
00:29:36Tell her everything's under control.
00:29:37I'll call her back later.
00:29:40It's time to contact the syndicate.
00:29:42Where's that phone number I got from Tony Marlowe?
00:29:48Come here and get an earful, Jim.
00:30:01Hello?
00:30:02Pat Doyle speaking.
00:30:04This is Bugs Kelly, Pat.
00:30:05Well, well, Mr. Kelly.
00:30:09What can I do for you?
00:30:12You've got that hundred grand handy.
00:30:13I'll come over there and collect it.
00:30:16As counsel for Mr. Marlowe, that matter has received my attention.
00:30:19The funds you speak of are in my possession.
00:30:21However, I must have your assurance that my client will be returned safe and sound.
00:30:27Oh, yes, I'll take your word for it.
00:30:29Where may I expect you?
00:30:31I'll be there in 20 minutes.
00:30:32And you can tell your syndicate Triggerman to lay off.
00:30:35If there's any funny business, the joke will be on Mr. Marlowe.
00:30:38Syndicate Triggerman?
00:30:41I don't know what you mean, Mr. Kelly.
00:30:43Are you kidding?
00:30:46Holy mackerel, Coyle.
00:30:48I just as soon believed the police commissioner was mixed up in this.
00:30:51But maybe Coyle is only acting as Tony's lawyer.
00:30:53Use your head, Jim.
00:30:54Pat Coyle's a syndicate big shot and you can go to sleep on that.
00:30:59Well, I guess this will hold a hundred grand.
00:31:02Will you give me a lift, Jim?
00:31:03Sure.
00:31:11Sit down while I get the money for you.
00:31:21Oh, there we are.
00:31:23100,000.
00:31:24I guarantee it.
00:31:25I'll take your word for it.
00:31:26Good.
00:31:27By the way, there's a friend of Tony's here that'd like to speak to you.
00:31:30Of course, it's up to you.
00:31:31Okay, I'll listen to him.
00:31:34I'll show him in.
00:31:41Hello, Barry.
00:31:42Well, what do you want?
00:31:43I want to talk a little sense into that thick skull of yours.
00:31:46I'm listening.
00:31:47You haven't a chance of fighting the syndicate.
00:31:50You might as well commit suicide.
00:31:52Yeah?
00:31:53Yeah.
00:31:54So why don't you join up with us?
00:31:56We can use you and your mob.
00:31:58You could cut yourself in for a nice slice of the profits.
00:32:01We'd even let you keep the hundred grand as a bonus.
00:32:04Do I look that, um...
00:32:06Sure.
00:32:07You'd like me to join up so you'd know where to put the finger on me.
00:32:10And some nice night I'd walk into an ambush and get blown apart.
00:32:14Good night, Barry.
00:32:17See you at the morgue.
00:32:29No girl, huh?
00:32:30No.
00:32:31Yeah, I thought he wouldn't fall, boy.
00:32:33He's too smart.
00:32:34We'll get him later.
00:32:36As soon as Tony gets back.
00:32:42Well, Tony, you're back in circulation.
00:32:44Pleasant dreams.
00:33:07Bugs, keeping undercover in a place like this gives me the creeps.
00:33:11Nobody'd think of looking for his way out here.
00:33:14Why don't you stop bothering me?
00:33:16Can't you see I'm reading a terrific book?
00:33:18Oh, why can't we go out on the avenue and have a couple of beers or something?
00:33:21Okay.
00:33:22I suppose you want to ride on the merry-go-round, too.
00:33:24I like merry-go-rounds.
00:33:25Okay, Junior, let's go.
00:33:27Okay.
00:33:37The greatest show that you've ever seen in your life.
00:33:40And this, my friends, you're standing in front of, is the Wax Museum.
00:33:43It's sensational, it's educational.
00:33:45Now, folks, I want you to step inside.
00:33:47See some of the famous and some of the infamous men and women of history.
00:33:50I want you to step inside and see the Chamber of Horrors.
00:33:52Some of the torture implements used in the Inquisition.
00:33:55And, folks, I want you, above all things, to see some of the devices used in capital punishments.
00:34:00Hand me that watch.
00:34:02There, my friends, you are looking at what is known as the organ booth.
00:34:05That, my friends, is used in transporting dangerous criminals
00:34:09from place to place to keep them from escaping.
00:34:11All right, step up here and get your tickets ready.
00:34:13Come on, Junior, this ought to be exciting.
00:34:18Maybe we ought to go on a lunge, don't we?
00:34:20Yeah, maybe we've got the wrong slant on things.
00:34:24They're going into the waxworks.
00:34:26Well...
00:34:36Hey, Lou, where's your watch?
00:34:38Don't you know where it is?
00:34:40It's in the drawers.
00:34:42Don't you know where it is?
00:34:44It's in the drawers.
00:34:46It's in the drawers.
00:34:48Now, come on, now.
00:34:50I heard someone say she was Portia.
00:34:52Portia?
00:34:53Boy, what a mouthpiece that dame was.
00:34:55What mob did she front for?
00:34:57Oh, you're dope.
00:34:58Didn't you ever read Shakespeare?
00:34:59Oh.
00:35:10Hey.
00:35:11I'm awfully sorry.
00:35:12It's all right.
00:35:14Hey.
00:35:15I'm awfully sorry.
00:35:16It's all right.
00:35:21Hey.
00:35:22I've always wondered what it would feel like to sit in the old hot seat.
00:35:24No, it don't, Bugs.
00:35:25It's bad luck.
00:35:26Ah, don't be silly.
00:35:27I ain't gonna die in the electric chair.
00:35:43Jim Riley speaking.
00:35:48Oh, hello, boss.
00:35:50How's crime?
00:35:51Jim, I've got some news for you.
00:35:53Bugs just got knocked off.
00:35:57What's that?
00:36:02Oh.
00:36:03Yeah.
00:36:04I just got the flash from Coney Island.
00:36:06And here's one for the book.
00:36:08Bugs met his death in the electric chair at the waxworks.
00:36:11Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:36:12I heard what you said.
00:36:13It knocked me for a loop, although I've been expecting it.
00:36:17No, I won't shed any tears.
00:36:20Yeah, he was a cold-blooded killer.
00:36:22Yeah.
00:36:23Deserved what he got.
00:36:25Yeah, yeah.
00:36:26But boss, not at the hands that dealt it to him.
00:36:29Well, perhaps you're right, Jim.
00:36:31But I thought maybe you wanted to handle the story.
00:36:33Well, sure.
00:36:34I'd like to.
00:36:43It's a break for you, kid.
00:36:50Oh, good evening, ma'am.
00:36:51I'm looking for Miss Betty Van Cleave.
00:36:53Do you know where I could find her?
00:36:54Miss Van Cleave moved away from here yesterday.
00:36:56Do you know where she went?
00:36:57No.
00:36:58She was very much in a hurry, and she didn't leave a forwarding address.
00:37:02I'm sorry.
00:37:03So am I.
00:37:04I'm sorry.
00:37:05I'm sorry.
00:37:06I'm sorry.
00:37:07I'm sorry.
00:37:08I'm sorry.
00:37:09I'm sorry.
00:37:10I'm sorry.
00:37:11So am I.
00:37:22No luck, huh?
00:37:23Nope.
00:37:24Gee, that's tough.
00:37:25Where do you want to go now?
00:37:27Back to New York City.
00:37:28And, uh, take these home to the little woman.
00:37:31Gee, that's swell.
00:37:32Thanks.
00:37:42There's one of them.
00:37:43I'm sure that's one of them.
00:37:45That's the other one.
00:37:46They're the ones that did the shooting, all right.
00:37:49I know the mugs.
00:37:50Got anything on them?
00:37:52Nothing lately.
00:37:53But I understand Garr hangs out at a bookmaker's place on the west side.
00:37:57Stecker's in the number racket uptown.
00:38:03Collins speaking.
00:38:04Send out a teletype order to pick up Judd Stecker and Eddie Garr,
00:38:08murder suspects.
00:38:10Thanks a lot to both of you.
00:38:11You've been a great help to us.
00:38:12Can we go home?
00:38:13Yes, I'll have one of my men take you.
00:38:15Now, don't tell anybody what you know about the crime.
00:38:18Not even your own families.
00:38:20We won't.
00:38:22Take them home, Hayes.
00:38:23Yes, Commissioner.
00:38:27Yeah?
00:38:28One of them coppers is on the wire.
00:38:30OK.
00:38:34Barry speaking.
00:38:36Barry speaking.
00:38:38Yeah, what's on your mind?
00:38:40How long ago?
00:38:42Have you got the names and addresses?
00:38:44All right, give them to me.
00:38:47Yeah.
00:38:48Yeah, I got it.
00:38:50Thanks for the tip.
00:39:00You know who.
00:39:01Now get this.
00:39:02Find Stecker and Garr and tell them there's a pickup order out for them.
00:39:05Yeah, and there's a couple of witnesses we may have to take care of.
00:39:09Yeah, I'll give you the names and addresses.
00:39:13Here they are, Commissioner.
00:39:14What do you know?
00:39:15We bagged them just as they were getting ready to leave town.
00:39:17They must have just been paid for the job they did.
00:39:19You ain't got nothing on us.
00:39:20We won this dough in a dice game.
00:39:22Sure, we want to see our lawyer before you start kicking us around.
00:39:24Oh, stop beeping.
00:39:26You'll get to see your lawyer.
00:39:27But first, I've got a couple of witnesses I want to identify you.
00:39:30Book them for murder, Captain.
00:39:31Just in case some crooked mouthpiece tries to get them out on a rip.
00:39:34Take them, boys.
00:39:35Come on, boys.
00:39:36Let's go.
00:39:37You've got to register when you stay at this hotel.
00:39:42My congratulations to the Department, Commissioner.
00:39:44You mean that?
00:39:45Sure.
00:39:46Read my comment of our daily news.
00:40:01Oh, it's you.
00:40:02Come in.
00:40:03Hello, Jim.
00:40:04How are you?
00:40:07Here's yesterday's transcript.
00:40:08This will keep you up to date.
00:40:09OK.
00:40:14Thanks.
00:40:15Today's proceedings were the worst yet with Dixon out of town.
00:40:18He got bored, so he had to take a vacation, huh?
00:40:20No.
00:40:21Eddie Garth sent word through his old lady that he wanted to talk.
00:40:24So I thought I'd give him a call.
00:40:26Wow.
00:40:27Eddie Garth sent word through his old lady that he wanted to talk.
00:40:30So Dixon trained up to the big house last night.
00:40:33Oh?
00:40:34You don't know what Garth wanted to talk about, do you?
00:40:37No, but I guess he's finding prison life too confining,
00:40:40and he wanted to cry on Dixon's shoulder.
00:40:42Well, I'm anxious to find out what they talk about.
00:40:44So if you find out, I'll wangle you a little bonus money.
00:40:47OK.
00:40:49Naturally, I'm interested in getting a lowdown
00:40:51on the killing of Bugs Kelly and his henchmen.
00:40:54But I want you to understand that nothing you say
00:40:56will alter the sentence the court gave you.
00:41:00I have no bargain to offer you.
00:41:02Yeah, I know.
00:41:03I know.
00:41:07Did you hear that?
00:41:08Hear what?
00:41:09That voice.
00:41:10Keeps whispering all the time.
00:41:12Don't let it get to you.
00:41:13Don't let it get to you.
00:41:14Don't let it get to you.
00:41:15Don't let it get to you.
00:41:16Keeps whispering all the time.
00:41:18Don't be a big sucker, Eddie.
00:41:21There's another one.
00:41:23Saying the same thing.
00:41:25Don't be a sucker and take the rap, Eddie.
00:41:28When the guy who hired you to cool Bugs
00:41:30is strutting around having a good time.
00:41:32But who followed that gang to Coney Island, huh?
00:41:36I did.
00:41:38Who gave him a dose of lead?
00:41:41I did.
00:41:43Who took the manslaughter rap?
00:41:46I did.
00:41:48Who's making a sucker out of me?
00:41:52Tony Marlowe.
00:41:55You mean to say that Tony Marlowe
00:41:56hired you to cool Bugs Kelly?
00:41:58Of course he did.
00:41:59He's the finger man for the syndicate, ain't he?
00:42:03Is he?
00:42:04That's what I said, didn't I?
00:42:06Oh, I know.
00:42:07I know he takes the orders from someone higher up.
00:42:09But here's the guy who says
00:42:11who does it to who and for how much.
00:42:21If you put those notes in the form of a statement,
00:42:23I'll have Eddie sign it.
00:42:24Yes, sir.
00:42:25Huh?
00:42:26What'd you say?
00:42:28Yeah.
00:42:29Right, yeah.
00:42:32Hello?
00:42:33Mr. Marlowe, please.
00:42:35Hello, Tony?
00:42:36This is Lucas.
00:42:37Yeah, listen.
00:42:38I gotta see you right away.
00:42:40I'll say it's important.
00:42:42OK.
00:42:52You're as nervous as a cat.
00:42:53What's the matter, pal?
00:42:54I...
00:42:55I've got some information for you, Mr. Marlowe.
00:42:58I...
00:42:59I've got some information for you this time.
00:43:01It ought to be worth $5,000.
00:43:03Five grand?
00:43:04It's gotta be good at worth, that kind of dough.
00:43:07Give me a little hint.
00:43:08Dixon went up to the state prison last night
00:43:10and he's on his way back with plenty of dynamite.
00:43:18Now you give.
00:43:20Listen, Eddie got Louis Topper
00:43:22and gave Dixon the details of the Bugs Kelly rub-out,
00:43:24naming you the finger man.
00:43:26Now if you hurry, you'll have time to get undercover.
00:43:30So Dixon's coming back tonight, huh?
00:43:32Yeah, he's getting off the train at Wayside.
00:43:34I'm driving his car up to meet him.
00:43:36Nice going, Lucas.
00:43:37I told you if you play ball with me, you'd get yourself a bankroll.
00:43:40Now be careful when you go out.
00:43:42See that no one sees you.
00:43:43Goodbye and good luck.
00:43:44Good plan, thanks.
00:43:49So he's getting off at Wayside, huh?
00:43:56Jim Riley speaking.
00:43:58Oh, hello, pal.
00:44:00Say, I was just talking to Dixon, long distance.
00:44:03Whatever made you suspect that Eddie Garr
00:44:05might have something important to tell him?
00:44:08Did he sing?
00:44:10The lid's off, Jim.
00:44:11Dixon's on his way back with a briefcase full of dynamite.
00:44:14Now wait.
00:44:15Where can I go to see the show?
00:44:16I wouldn't want to miss this for anything in the world.
00:44:18You might blow yourself to a feat at the Club Boheme
00:44:20around 7.30 p.m., if you know what I mean.
00:44:23I might at that.
00:44:24It's thanks a million
00:44:25until I can reciprocate more grandiferously.
00:44:29All right.
00:44:37Yours.
00:44:38Table for two.
00:44:42Hello, Jim.
00:44:43Hiya, Tony.
00:44:44Living in the lap of luxury, I suppose, huh?
00:44:47Could it be that my favorite crime reporter
00:44:49is taking the fall out of your expense account?
00:44:51Could be.
00:44:53Take it easy.
00:44:58Ladies and gentlemen,
00:44:59for your pleasure, a new entertainer,
00:45:01and one I know you're going to like,
00:45:03Miss Betty Van Cleve.
00:45:15I work in a nightclub, take pictures galore
00:45:19Although it's a bright club, to me it's a bore
00:45:23When a man gives my hand a squeeze
00:45:27I smile and say, your picture please
00:45:33My hours are long here, commissions are slight
00:45:37I'm crying my song here, the same every night
00:45:42There's a him on a limb with a her
00:45:46So I'm a sigh, your picture, sir
00:45:55Hold that smile, just watch the birdie
00:45:58Catch that style and she's way past thirty
00:46:02See those older, dignified men
00:46:05Comes in a folder, looks good in your den
00:46:08See that youngster on his very first date
00:46:13A picture is fun, sir, it's done my weight
00:46:19Oh, what a mixture, they give me no rest
00:46:22Order a picture for the folks out west
00:46:26Though I dance around, there's no romance around
00:46:35How I hate this posing
00:46:38From nine till closing
00:46:44I'm just a lonely little camera girl on display
00:46:55Have to smile and dress in style
00:46:59Pretend I'm gay
00:47:04Never knew a camera girl could feel this way
00:47:14Each night, when everything's right
00:47:19I must recite, Mr. Take Your Picture
00:47:23Hoping that one night
00:47:26The man who is right
00:47:28Will come along to play with Pearl
00:47:32And carry on, the lonely little camera girl
00:47:57Cigars, cigarettes, cigars
00:48:00Gorgeous, just what the doctor ordered
00:48:03I want to send a little note to Miss Betty Van Cleave
00:48:05Will do for a buck
00:48:06We'll deal if you buy a pack of cigarettes
00:48:08You're a sweet child
00:48:15There, could bring back her answer and keep the change
00:48:23Hello, Grace
00:48:26Here's a note for you, Miss Van Cleave
00:48:28And an answer
00:48:33Well
00:48:36May I borrow your pencil?
00:48:46Thanks a lot
00:48:47You're welcome
00:48:48Well, well, a nice note for your first song, huh?
00:48:52Not at all, the gentleman's an old friend of the family
00:48:55That's what they all say
00:48:59You know, I never was so surprised in my life
00:49:01As when Eddie Garr began to hear those imaginary voices
00:49:04I never dreamed a cold-blooded killer like him
00:49:07Would crack so quickly under confinement
00:49:09I guess presents are no fun
00:49:11No
00:49:12What I've got in here will definitely put Tony Milo
00:49:15In the electric chair
00:49:16And maybe some of our distinguished citizens
00:49:18You don't say
00:49:20We've been blind as bats
00:49:22But here's Jim Ray
00:49:25We've been blind as bats
00:49:27But here's Jim Ray
00:49:28Trying to tell us all along
00:49:29That crime and racketeering were controlled by a syndicate
00:49:32We paid no attention to it
00:49:34And I'm ashamed to say
00:49:35There are indications that even Pat Coyle is mixed up in this
00:49:48Detour to roadside
00:49:49Thanks
00:49:54Let's go
00:50:18Nice going, boys
00:50:19Now give me the 5 G's you took from the chump at the spectacle
00:50:21Of course, I thought it was a little bonus for you
00:50:23Bonus, my eye
00:50:24You boys are getting paid enough as it is
00:50:25Come on, give
00:50:26Get in there
00:50:37You're under arrest, Tony
00:50:39What have I been doing now?
00:50:40Parking in front of a fireplug?
00:50:42Charges conspiracy to commit murder
00:50:44Quit your kidding
00:50:46We're not kidding, Tony
00:50:47Get your hat
00:50:48Now wait a minute
00:50:49If you take me on such a ridiculous charge
00:50:50I'll sue the city of a false arrest
00:50:52Come on, Tony
00:50:53What are you...
00:50:54You guys...
00:50:57What is your full name and address?
00:50:59Anthony Charles Marlowe
00:51:0088 Broadway
00:51:02Just a minute
00:51:04I won't protest my client's arrest
00:51:05Instead of a preposterous charge
00:51:07Before you book him
00:51:09I demand that you be used as evidence to support the charge
00:51:11We'll have plenty, Mr. Coyle
00:51:13As soon as Mr. Dixon gets back in town
00:51:15He's due any minute now
00:51:17You're wanted on the phone, Commissioner
00:51:18It's a long distance
00:51:19Thank you
00:51:23I'll take that long-distance call, Murphy
00:51:26Hello
00:51:27Collins speaking
00:51:29Who?
00:51:30Oh, yes, yes
00:51:33What's that?
00:51:35No
00:51:38Where did it happen?
00:51:41I see
00:51:43Hold the phone a minute
00:51:45I'll have someone take care of it
00:51:46Yes, sir
00:51:47Thank you
00:51:49Hold the phone a minute
00:51:50I'll have someone take down the details
00:51:53Don't answer another question
00:51:54Until they produce some proof to back their charge
00:51:56Go ahead, Sergeant
00:51:57We know what we're doing
00:51:58If you do, Sergeant, I'll serve you with a wreck
00:52:00So fast you hit a swim
00:52:03We'll have to turn Mr. Marlowe and his boys
00:52:05We have no evidence now to back up his arrest
00:52:11What do you mean, no evidence?
00:52:12You said the Deputy DA was bringing it with him
00:52:15He was
00:52:16But he and his secretary were murdered on their way here
00:52:19And the evidence stolen
00:52:27I'll bet that Marlowe knew that Dixon was dead when we arrested him
00:52:31But we've no way of proving it
00:52:33He knew all right
00:52:35Likely as not, he gave the order to kill Dixon
00:52:37Which means we've got a leak in the department
00:52:40Come in
00:52:43I'd like to offer a suggestion if it's in order
00:52:46Come in, Jim
00:52:47We can use the suggestion
00:52:50Don't you think it would be a good idea
00:52:51If you had the warden of the state prison keep an eye on Gar
00:52:53Until you can send somebody up there to question him
00:52:56How did you know that Gar did any singing?
00:52:59What difference does it make who told him?
00:53:01Get me Warden Monaghan as quick as you can
00:53:07Deputy Warden wants 105, 438 right away
00:53:10Dirty Gar
00:53:11Yeah, he's inside
00:53:17Where's Eddie Gar's one up front?
00:53:18The one in the storeroom to get some sugar
00:53:20Should I, huh?
00:53:21I wouldn't know
00:53:23Five grand
00:53:30Hey, Eddie
00:53:31Chief still wants to see you
00:53:33Hey, Eddie, wake up
00:53:38Hey, somebody
00:53:39Eddie, there's a murder
00:53:46And when my book comes off the press in a week or two
00:53:48I'm gonna give each one of you guys a copy
00:53:50Well, that'll be swell, Jim
00:53:51We'd be glad to read it
00:53:56Colin speaking
00:53:58Oh, hello, Monaghan
00:54:02What's that?
00:54:06The invisible government has beaten us to the punch again
00:54:09Somebody just drove a knife through Eddie Gar's heart
00:54:11Gar
00:54:15Yeah, boss, that's right
00:54:17Gar got it in the back
00:54:18In the prison storeroom
00:54:20Yeah
00:54:21Bye
00:54:42Holy mackerel
00:54:45Two o'clock
00:55:00Hello, Betty
00:55:01Hello, Jim
00:55:02Come in, I've been waiting for you
00:55:05I'm sorry, it's a little late to be calling on anybody
00:55:07I know, you had to cover the arrest of Tony Marlow
00:55:10Everybody at the club, William, was talking about it
00:55:13Well, that certainly turned out to be a fizzle
00:55:15But, uh, let's talk about you
00:55:18What was the idea of running away without leaving a forwarding address?
00:55:21You know, I was up there to see you
00:55:24I'm sorry I missed you, Jim
00:55:27But what?
00:55:30Well, I might as well tell you and save you from any embarrassment
00:55:33I know about my brother's death
00:55:36He came up to see me about a week before he died
00:55:40And he told me everything
00:55:43Naturally, I was shocked
00:55:46I never knew he went by the name of Bugs Kelly
00:55:50I never dreamed I was the sister of a murderer
00:55:54I'm sorry, Jim
00:55:58Tell me the truth
00:56:00You came to Atlantic City that night because Mike made you
00:56:02You agreed to be friendly with me because you were afraid he'd say no
00:56:07You've got it all wrong, Betty
00:56:10Oh, you don't have to pretend anymore
00:56:14You can bow out if you want to
00:56:17It won't hurt my feelings
00:56:23Betty
00:56:26Now listen to me
00:56:28I love you
00:56:29Do you hear?
00:56:44Gentlemen
00:56:46As you all know, the purpose of this meeting
00:56:49Is to form a secret committee to fight organized crime
00:56:52And I mean wipe it out of our city once and for all
00:56:56And we're going to do it
00:56:57Once and for all
00:56:59And we have to clean our own house too
00:57:02I hate to think that Dixon was murdered
00:57:05Because someone in the department was a traitor to the cause of justice
00:57:09But what else can I think?
00:57:12The public is up in arms
00:57:14And rightfully so
00:57:16Now we've got to put an end to this crime wave or resign
00:57:19And let others more capable do the job
00:57:22Now which is it going to be, men?
00:57:24We'll clean it up, Chief
00:57:28Gentlemen
00:57:32As Jim Riley would say
00:57:34This meeting of the board of directors of Crime Incorporated
00:57:37Is now open for business
00:57:40However
00:57:42As chairman in the absence of our president
00:57:45I want to sound a timely warning
00:57:47We can't afford to have any more violence
00:57:51Since it became necessary to eliminate the Bugs Kelly mob
00:57:53Our business has fallen off 16%
00:57:58Mr. North
00:58:00Until public indignation dies down
00:58:03I think you should have all marble games removed from school neighborhoods
00:58:07And operate bookmaking undercover for a while
00:58:10That goes for policy games and baseball pools as well
00:58:14And during the lull
00:58:16Let's try and dig up some new competitive games
00:58:19Something different
00:58:21That'll bring us a few nickels
00:58:23That's a good idea
00:58:54Oh, excuse me
00:58:56What can I do for you?
00:58:58What can I do for you? I'm Jim Riley
00:59:00Fine, here's a little present for you
00:59:02I'm a process server from the Grand Jury
00:59:08I have here a book entitled Crime Incorporated
00:59:11By Jim Riley
00:59:13I'm a process server from the Grand Jury
00:59:16I have here a book entitled Crime Incorporated
00:59:19By Jim Riley
00:59:20Are you that Jim Riley?
00:59:22I am
00:59:24Assuming that the material in your book is factual
00:59:27Just how were you able to get information
00:59:29When all the city law enforcement groups were unable to get it?
00:59:32I don't know
00:59:34Maybe because I had better contacts
00:59:36Better contacts
00:59:38Isn't it a fact that you got most of your information from Bugs Kelly?
00:59:41Yes, so what?
00:59:43So you admit more than a speaking acquaintance with a dirty killer
00:59:47I can't testify as such
00:59:48Dirty killer?
00:59:50I can't testify as to how often Kelly took a bath
00:59:52If that's what you mean
00:59:54You know what I mean
00:59:56You probably know him well enough to get a regular cut from his racket
00:59:59That statement's a lie
01:00:01I don't have to defend my relations with Kelly
01:00:03But it's fortunate there was such a man as Kelly
01:00:06He was a killer, sure, but who made him a killer? I'll tell you
01:00:09An organization of racketeers and greedy businessmen
01:00:12Who formed a syndicate to monopolize all illegitimate business and sources of graft
01:00:16Bugs wouldn't line up with them
01:00:18His futile fight to stay independent is the reason that you're here, gentlemen
01:00:21He has unwittingly done more to clean up our city
01:00:24Than all the law enforcement agencies
01:00:26Because his activity laid bare the existence of incorporated crime
01:00:29Hmm
01:00:31Now if you're through theorizing, Mr. Riley
01:00:34This grand jury would like to know
01:00:36Just why Kelly gave you information
01:00:38Because I did him a favor
01:00:41What was that favor, Mr. Riley?
01:00:43It's something personal, so it doesn't concern the grand jury
01:00:47Material in your book concerns the grand jury
01:00:50And it's your civic duty to help wage war against crime
01:00:54Sure, and get myself riddled with bullets
01:00:56I'm sorry, gentlemen, I'm not that civic-minded
01:00:59You're going to talk, Mr. Riley
01:01:01Or are we going to ask the court to question you?
01:01:03We want the full details of your investigations
01:01:05We want the right names of the people mentioned in your book
01:01:08And we want the addresses of all the rackets
01:01:10And you're going to answer those questions right now
01:01:13I'm sorry, gentlemen
01:01:14The confidence between a news reporter
01:01:16And a source of information
01:01:18Is just as sacred as the confidence
01:01:20Between doctor and patient, lawyer and client
01:01:22Or priest and penitent
01:01:24Riley, we'll give you 24 hours to think it over
01:01:28And bear in mind
01:01:30Your continued defiance will render you liable
01:01:32To a charge of contempt
01:01:34You're dismissed
01:01:36Thank you, Mr. Conroy
01:01:45Hello, Jim
01:01:47Well, you don't look so happy
01:01:50The grand jury's been giving you the works
01:01:52Yeah, I gotta go back and answer some questions or else
01:01:55Maybe you'd rather talk to me
01:01:58You know me better than that
01:02:01Oh, you don't understand, Jim
01:02:03I want you to join our secret committee
01:02:06For driving the rats out of town
01:02:08Who's on the committee?
01:02:10Just a few of the men we can trust
01:02:11Like Ferroni, Finch, Westover
01:02:15And the former of the grand jury
01:02:17Clark
01:02:19Yeah, you see the point?
01:02:21If you join our committee
01:02:23The jury will have to lay off you
01:02:25Yeah, I see the point
01:02:28And you might be needing some protection
01:02:31For that charming young lady
01:02:33You've been calling on at a late hour
01:02:35What charming young lady?
01:02:37When she attended public school number nine
01:02:38Her name was Betty Egan
01:02:40Catch on?
01:02:42Well, I guess I'll join your committee
01:02:46Well, give it to the pole, Jim
01:02:49Oh, I read your book last night
01:02:53And I was able to identify quite a few of the characters
01:02:56Now, tell me if I'm wrong
01:02:58Tony Marlow was finger man for the syndicate
01:03:01One of the big shots
01:03:03And Barry North, the payoff man
01:03:05For the small jobs, like killing competition
01:03:06Well, just where does Pat Coyle fit into the picture?
01:03:09He could be the president or the chairman of the board
01:03:12Since he paid Bugs Kelly a hundred grand
01:03:14For the life of Tony Marlow
01:03:16Oh, so that's how it was
01:03:20Got any leads we can follow up?
01:03:22Yeah, I've got a couple of leads
01:03:24But it will require addictive phones and camera traps
01:03:27Well, this is not an ethical fight
01:03:29What are they?
01:03:31Well, for one, an old reputable firm
01:03:33National Brokers Incorporated
01:03:34On the sixth floor of the arcade building
01:03:36Which Tony Marlow finds it necessary to visit now and then
01:03:39And another that's pretty close to home
01:03:41Let's hear it
01:03:43Well, some of your force have been making calls
01:03:46On the international export company
01:03:48On the fifth floor of the arcade building
01:03:50What kind of business would they be running
01:03:52With an export company?
01:03:54It's just a front
01:03:56It's the headquarters of Barry North
01:03:59Here's a list of the callers
01:04:01What?
01:04:03Well, these are some of our best men
01:04:05Naturally
01:04:07It requires a good man to go crooked and get away with it
01:04:17Greetings, board members
01:04:19Greetings, Mr. President
01:04:21Gentlemen, I have just come from a meeting
01:04:24Of the secret police committee
01:04:26And I am genuinely concerned
01:04:27Jim Riley has become a member of the committee
01:04:29And there's no telling what he knows
01:04:31Of our syndicate activities
01:04:33What do you propose, Mr. President?
01:04:35I'm afraid it will be necessary
01:04:37To eliminate the secret committee
01:04:39Do you realize what you're proposing?
01:04:41I, for one, can't subscribe to such drastic measures
01:04:44Nor I
01:04:46Your suggestion is insane
01:04:48Perhaps you two gentlemen
01:04:50Would prefer the electric chair
01:04:52There it is
01:04:54Gentlemen, we're wasting time
01:04:55I propose the immediate elimination
01:04:57Of Jim Riley
01:04:59And Miss Betty Van Cleave
01:05:01An entertainer at the Club Boheme
01:05:03Mr. Cable, will you give us a report
01:05:05On your investigation of Miss Van Cleave?
01:05:07Betty Van Cleave is just a professional name
01:05:11She was christened Betty Egan
01:05:13And is the sister of the deceased Bugs Kelly
01:05:16All those in favor of the elimination say aye
01:05:18Aye
01:05:20Contrary, no
01:05:22All right, Tony, the matter's in your hands
01:05:23Just a minute, Tony
01:05:25This can't be the usual gangland rub out
01:05:28It will have to look like an accident
01:05:30Okay, I'll have the boys put them in the rider car
01:05:33And shove them over the palisades
01:05:43Jim, I'm scared
01:05:45Don't be, darling, there's nothing to be afraid of
01:05:54Did you see that man?
01:05:56He followed me from the club
01:05:58You just imagined it
01:06:00No, I was expecting I'd be followed
01:06:03You were expecting to be followed?
01:06:05How come?
01:06:07I suppose it wasn't a coincidence
01:06:09It was an accident
01:06:11It was an accident
01:06:13It was an accident
01:06:15It was an accident
01:06:17It was an accident
01:06:19It was an accident
01:06:21It was an accident
01:06:23It was awful silly of me
01:06:25But I listened in on the conversation
01:06:27Between Tony Milo and Trixie
01:06:29Betty
01:06:31Well, I wanted to help you get something on him
01:06:33You mustn't take a chance like that
01:06:35Supposing you found out that Bugs was your brother
01:06:37I know
01:06:39It was awful stupid of me
01:06:41Because I got caught
01:06:43Who caught you?
01:06:45Trixie
01:06:47From now on, you take care of the singing
01:06:49I'll take care of the crime detecting
01:06:51I'm sure we were followed
01:06:53Yeah
01:06:55Jim, don't you think...
01:07:07Take it easy now and you won't get hurt
01:07:09What do you want?
01:07:11If it's money you expect, I haven't very much
01:07:13Quiet sister, this ain't a stick up
01:07:15What is it then?
01:07:17Somebody wants to have a little talk with you
01:07:18Now, your pants are too short
01:07:21Hold it, boys
01:07:23Drop those rods
01:07:33Collins speaking
01:07:35Yeah?
01:07:37Okay
01:07:39This is it, Franny
01:07:41Let's go
01:07:42So gentlemen, our next objective
01:07:44Is to control the city elections
01:07:46And place our own men in the key positions
01:07:48Then we shall be impregnable
01:07:50I propose that...
01:07:52Yes?
01:07:54I see, thanks
01:07:56Gentlemen, the meeting is adjourned
01:07:58We're about to be vested by the law
01:08:12Well, good evening, gentlemen
01:08:14What brings you here?
01:08:16As if you didn't know, Mr. Coyle
01:08:18You're under arrest
01:08:20All of you, take him away, boys
01:08:22Just a minute, have you arrived for our arrest?
01:08:24I have, would you like to see it?
01:08:26No, thanks, I still think this is a gag
01:08:28What's the charge?
01:08:30There are a number of them, Mr. Coyle
01:08:32Including conspiracy to commit murder
01:08:34Now I know it's a gag
01:08:36Just bring him over to Central
01:08:38I'll take care of him
01:08:39Step this way, gentlemen
01:08:51And now, Captain Finch, I think it's about time
01:08:53You join the rest of the rats
01:08:55Me?
01:08:57You, I'll take your gun if you don't mind
01:08:59There aren't enough words to express
01:09:01My contempt for a crooked officer
01:09:03You've got nothing on me
01:09:05Your partners in crime, sergeants Busby and Hess
01:09:07Are already lined up
01:09:09And I hope the three of you burn for this
01:09:11He's only bluffing, Captain
01:09:13You'll have to release us
01:09:15When you can't use enough evidence
01:09:17To bind us over for a hearing
01:09:19You're mistaken this time, Mr. Coyle
01:09:21In 30 minutes, the evidence will be shown
01:09:23You and the grand jury
01:09:25In Captain Ferroni's squad room
01:09:27Gentlemen of the jury
01:09:29As district attorney, I'm about to present some evidence
01:09:31Collected by our police department
01:09:33In its effort to suppress crime
01:09:35This is not regular procedure
01:09:37But I'm going to gamble
01:09:39With my conclusion
01:09:41You said it, Conroy
01:09:43It certainly is not a regular procedure
01:09:45Go ahead, sergeant
01:09:47Will you turn off those lights, please?
01:09:49Right
01:09:53Hello, pal
01:09:55What brings you out so late at night?
01:09:57I just came from a meeting
01:09:59Of the secret police committee
01:10:01You'd better get the idea out of your head
01:10:03That this committee is a joke like the grand jury
01:10:05You're breaking my heart
01:10:07What's on your mind?
01:10:09You think you have any deal coming
01:10:11After the way you fell down in the garden
01:10:13That wasn't my fault
01:10:15I've tipped you off plenty of times
01:10:17Gentlemen, I've just come from a meeting
01:10:19Of the secret police committee
01:10:21And I'm genuinely worried
01:10:23I propose the immediate elimination
01:10:25Of Jim Riley and Miss Betty Van Cleve
01:10:27All in favor of the elimination, say aye
01:10:29Aye
01:10:31Conroy, no
01:10:33All right, Tony, the matter's in your hands
01:10:35Just a minute, Tony
01:10:36It would have to appear to be an accident
01:10:38Okay, I'll have the boys put him in the Riley car
01:10:40And shove him over the palisades
01:10:50All right, boys
01:10:52Take the prisoners back to jail
01:11:02Gentlemen of the jury
01:11:04In the involuntary absence
01:11:06Of our late but unlamented foreman
01:11:08It becomes my pleasant task
01:11:11To announce to you
01:11:13That you have voted a true bill
01:11:15Charging the entire membership
01:11:17Of Crime Incorporated
01:11:19From the highest to the lowest
01:11:21With murder in the first degree
01:11:23Congratulations, gentlemen
01:11:25You have rendered our community
01:11:27A most valuable service
01:11:29I shall proceed at once
01:11:31To prosecute the defendants
01:11:34We could have been married
01:11:36While we've been waiting
01:11:38I know, darling, but I couldn't ignore
01:11:40A grand jury summons, they'd throw me in jail
01:11:42They've got a nerve calling you into court
01:11:44On our wedding day
01:11:46Maybe they want to save me from a dire fate
01:11:50Mr. Riley, you may come in now
01:11:52I'm sorry, darling, you can't come in here
01:11:54Where you go, I'm going, dear
01:11:56That's all right, she can come in with you
01:11:58She can?
01:12:00Sure, come on, Jim
01:12:02Hello, Jim
01:12:04That subpoena was just a gag
01:12:06The grand jury wants to express
01:12:08Its appreciation for your splendid work
01:12:10In helping to fight the invisible government
01:12:12In our city
01:12:16Was that all you wanted?
01:12:18Why, yes, why?
01:12:20Well, if Betty and I had known that
01:12:22We could have gotten married
01:12:24Before we came over here
01:12:26What's that, does somebody want to get married?
01:12:28Is it you, Jim?
01:12:29Darling, this is Judge Poole
01:12:31Legal advisor to the grand jury
01:12:33Judge, this is my wife
01:12:35I mean my fiance
01:12:37This is a pleasure, my dear
01:12:39Well, you have some illustrious witnesses here
01:12:42Get out the marriage license
01:12:49Please join hands
01:12:53We're gathered here to witness
01:12:55The uniting and holy wedlock
01:12:57Of James Riley and
01:12:59Betty Egan
