00:02:15No, I think I'll just walk down the hall. Thank you
00:02:45Mr. Redding, good morning. Good morning, Constance. I'm glad I caught you in. Something wrong? Only the obvious. Same thing we talked about last month. The revenue by mail is only half what it was this time last year.
00:03:14Well, I am sorry, Mr. Redding. I just don't know what else to do. No one's blaming you, Constance, but it is your department. Well, I have sent follow-up letters to all of those who didn't respond. Fine. Do you have the report from our eastern office? Oh, yes. Oh, I mean a copy. I don't know what happens to things around here. Oh, well, I can make one in just a few minutes. You're fine. I appreciate that.
00:04:14Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Redding. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm
00:04:44sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
00:05:15Steve, Steve, wake up, wake up
00:05:21Good night, are you still here?
00:05:23Well, it's nine o'clock in the morning, Steve
00:05:28Come on
00:05:29No, I'm due in court in half an hour
00:05:32Since when?
00:05:33Since last night, one of the Jackson kids was found in a stolen car, he's being arraigned this morning
00:05:38Do I have time to shave?
00:05:39If you hurry, it wouldn't hurt you to change that shirt either
00:05:42Change with what?
00:05:43Change with what?
00:05:44Well, the lack time you slept over, you had to rush out and buy a new one, I figured it would happen again, so I had the old one laundered
00:05:48Oh, I love you
00:05:50Max
00:05:52Max, hey, come on, where are you going?
00:05:55I figured somewhere else seemed like a good idea
00:05:57Listen, I'm rushing like mad
00:05:59There's some notes on my desk, accessory to grand larceny, will you find them for me?
00:06:02What about Mrs. Margolin?
00:06:04What about her?
00:06:05Oh, this morning
00:06:07Max, you talk to her, Lola, give them all of the notes that she gave us after we got her out on bail
00:06:14When I came in here and saw the two of you, I said to myself, bye George, she's done
00:06:18Well, you better stop talking to yourself
00:06:20I mean it, I mean it, I think you're gaining on it
00:06:22Well, what I get doesn't mean what you think
00:06:24Can't hurt, I'm the only family he's got
00:06:27Well, then why don't you get him to stop working so hard, especially for losers?
00:06:31You know, there are actually people in this world who get into trouble and pay a lawyer
00:06:34Max, don't try charming Mrs. Margolin into thinking everything's all right, because it isn't
00:06:39I mean, she's in real trouble
00:06:41Can I get you some coffee?
00:06:45You see, we just thought that the money had never been donated
00:06:48We had no idea that any money was missing until the district attorney's investigation
00:06:54$225,000 is missing
00:06:57That's what they say
00:06:59Apparently they checked with all the regular contributors who hadn't replied to my first request
00:07:04You were responsible for cash donations that came in by mail
00:07:08You also admit to safe deposit of almost $50,000 in cash
00:07:13Now, the DA's assumption is that you either spent the money or that you have it hidden somewhere else
00:07:18It's not true, that's my money
00:07:21Isn't that a lot of money?
00:07:23I mean, for a woman of your income?
00:07:25Most of it is from my late husband's life insurance and the rest of it I saved
00:07:32Mr. Castle, I grew up during the Depression
00:07:37And I saw my father lose everything that we had
00:07:40When the markets failed and the banks closed
00:07:43That's a terrible lesson
00:07:46But I didn't steal the money
00:07:48I've never stolen anything
00:07:52I'm sure you didn't
00:07:55And I'm afraid we're in a position of having to prove that you didn't
00:07:58Or that someone else did
00:08:01Someone else?
00:08:03Yeah, the money's missing
00:08:05You've shown no record of it
00:08:07Therefore, it must have been stolen before it ever got to you
00:08:10Who'd have done that?
00:08:12They didn't steal from me
00:08:14They stole from thousands of refugees who need food and medicine
00:08:17I don't know what kind of people do that
00:08:19Who do you work for?
00:08:20Oh, I report directly to the trustees
00:08:23Who are?
00:08:24Marjorie White, Lyle Reddy, Alfred Tabor
00:08:27They could...
00:08:29They just wouldn't
00:08:31Neither would you, Mrs. Marlin
00:08:36Against losing money in the horses
00:08:39Signs of fact, Lyle Reddy can afford it
00:08:41He's inherited a fortune from some cousin in New York
00:08:44That was six years and who knows how many girls ago
00:08:48Not to mention a string of bum racehorses and a boat that the bank foreclosed on
00:08:52I'm telling you, up until recently, he was close to broke
00:08:55He'd been busy
00:08:57Yeah
00:08:58Just proves you needed an investigative assistant long before you got saddled with me
00:09:03What do you mean, saddled?
00:09:05I mean, thanks
00:09:07But let's not kid ourselves
00:09:09A real lawyer ought to be doing what I do for you
00:09:12I'm not complaining
00:09:14Sure
00:09:15I promised that Florida judge I'd work in your office for five years if he suspended my sentence
00:09:19Well, if I just sat around here all day reading comic books, he wouldn't complain either
00:09:24You know, you're the only one I know who can compliment somebody
00:09:27And at the same time make him feel he has to defend himself
00:09:31Well, maybe you do
00:09:33Defend yourself against yourself
00:09:36Any deadbeat walks in here and tells you he's a misunderstood choir boy and you fight like hell to prove it
00:09:42You're everybody's sucker
00:09:44Even yours is what you're saying
00:09:46In a way, yes
00:09:47If I took a plane and disappeared, you'd be legally responsible
00:09:51Why don't you, then?
00:09:52Don't think I haven't thought of it
00:09:54Are you still thinking about it?
00:09:57You want my brother?
00:10:03It's a shame we're not all brothers, isn't it, Max?
00:10:06Is that what you're getting at?
00:10:08That wouldn't be a bad place to get to, would it?
00:10:10No, it wouldn't
00:10:12But while we're getting there, don't walk down any dark alleys
00:10:16You might meet someone going in a different direction
00:10:57Yes?
00:11:00Hello, Shirley
00:11:03I heard Stoker was here
00:11:05Yeah, he's running a play. You in on it?
00:11:07No, no
00:11:08I can wait
00:11:09Okay
00:11:13What name's Stoker using?
00:11:14Frank Parson
00:11:19Hey, Bob
00:11:20Thought you told me you couldn't make it tonight
00:11:22I can't, Frank
00:11:23I gotta be back in the office in a half an hour for a midnight conference call
00:11:27Thought maybe you guys would buy me a drink
00:11:30After what you took out of the game last week, you ought to buy us something
00:11:34He'll give it all back next week
00:11:36You know all the boys here, don't you?
00:11:38Well, except Norm. Norm Carmichael, Bob Harper
00:11:41Norm?
00:11:43Well, don't let me hold you up
00:11:45Maybe the little lady will fix me a drink
00:11:48A drink for real or tea on the rocks?
00:11:52Straight bourbon
00:11:56How long have you been going?
00:11:58A couple of hours
00:11:59Hope Stoker doesn't drag it out. I'm paying my babysitter three bucks an hour
00:12:02That's right. He holds a kid now
00:12:05Just four
00:12:06You should see him, Max. He walks, talks and looks just like Joe
00:12:10What's Joe doing?
00:12:12Two to five in Leavenworth
00:12:13That's not what I meant
00:12:16The reason I looked funny at the door, you know
00:12:18The word was out that you got busted in Florida
00:12:21Yeah, there were problems, but it's okay now
00:12:26Where'd Stoker find this Carmichael?
00:12:29Airplane from Chicago
00:12:30He owns some movie theaters in the Midwest that show those dirty pictures
00:12:33He blagged to Stoker how he gets those young kids to take their clothes off for the camera
00:12:37And then half the time he doesn't even pay them and they're too scared to swap
00:12:41Nice fellow
00:12:43So Stoker made a deal with him to cheat
00:12:46Stoker deals him the winning cards and then they split the profits afterwards
00:12:50I know how it goes, you know
00:12:52Yeah, listen to me
00:12:55Hold it! You're cheating!
00:12:57What are you talking about?
00:12:59You're dealing for the middle of the deck instead of the top
00:13:02Crazy, you guys know me
00:13:04Hey, look, take it easy
00:13:06Oh, sure, it's okay with you, and you're the only winner
00:13:09Hey, you must be working with him
00:13:12What are you talking about? He's your friend. I just met him
00:13:14All right, that's enough. Sit down and take a walk
00:13:17Yeah, I'm not walking anywhere
00:13:19Hey, hey!
00:13:20Get the go-ahead lost! Come on, come on, get it up!
00:13:22Hey, for crying out loud!
00:13:27Oh!
00:13:42Hey!
00:13:51It's Ted
00:14:05Shirley, go home now
00:14:08Ted, wait!
00:14:09What, are you crazy?
00:14:11He's right. That was an accident, that was nobody's fault
00:14:15You think the police are gonna believe that when they find his body here?
00:14:18Especially if we all run?
00:14:20Let's just calm down, calm it down
00:14:23Sure it was an accident, we all know that
00:14:29What do you think your law firm's gonna say when they find out you're involved in this?
00:14:32What about my bank?
00:14:34Me and a poker game where somebody got killed. I can't handle that
00:14:37That's right, none of us can
00:14:39Yeah, sure it's a mess, but let's not panic
00:14:43But what are we gonna do?
00:14:45What if, uh, what if he wasn't found here?
00:14:50All right, the hotel knows we're here. They saw us coming in, they'll see us leave
00:14:54And if he's not found here, we're in the clear, right?
00:14:57What are you getting at?
00:15:00I know a guy who'll take the body out of here, leave it on the beach, make it look like mugging and murder
00:15:05I'm getting sick
00:15:06Hey, shut up!
00:15:09Now this guy, will he know who we are?
00:15:14No, he doesn't have to. I can, uh...
00:15:17I can take care of it myself, but it's, uh...
00:15:20It's gonna cost some money
00:15:21How much?
00:15:22At least 50,000
00:15:2450,000?!
00:15:25Yeah, and cheap at the price. That guy's caught with a dead man, dead from a bullet
00:15:29He's looking murder one right in the face!
00:15:34That's what we might be facing
00:15:36Sure, what the hell's the difference? I could've lost it in the game anyway
00:15:40Here
00:15:42It's everything I have on me
00:15:44You got a couple hundred, Frank. Anything I need more?
00:15:46Thanks
00:15:54Here, here's mine
00:15:56Here
00:16:057,000
00:16:07You won more than that
00:16:09You holding back at a time like this?
00:16:12Damn you, don't you realize if one of us gets caught, we all go down the drain?
00:16:16Take it easy
00:16:17Hey
00:16:19Hey, look, I'm just not thinking straight
00:16:22Here, here
00:16:26Here
00:16:30We're still gonna be short
00:16:33See what Herb had on him
00:16:504,500
00:16:53We're just a little bit better than 42,000
00:16:56Frank, why don't you offer him the 42,000?
00:16:58What if he says no?
00:17:00Do we have a choice?
00:17:02No
00:17:04I'll just have to think of something
00:17:07You guys better all get out of here fast
00:17:10Straight home, no detours
00:17:234,500
00:17:41Looked pretty good, Herb
00:17:43Lousy blank. Almost went off in my face
00:17:52Carmichael out of the hotel?
00:17:54You kidding? He's out and running. He's probably halfway to the airport by now
00:17:58Yeah, see you tomorrow, Stoker
00:18:00Herb
00:18:01Max
00:18:02Night, Herb
00:18:03What are you clear?
00:18:04Eh, 5, 6,000
00:18:07Hanging in money
00:18:11Which is another way of saying we missed you, Max
00:18:14Mutual, Stoker
00:18:15Did you really take a fall in Florida?
00:18:17Yeah, for something I didn't do
00:18:19Hey, hey, hey
00:18:20Hey, would I lie about a thing like that?
00:18:22Yes, you would, but not to me
00:18:25Stoker, I had a legit deal going. It was in real estate
00:18:28Really legit
00:18:29My sales manager used his own pocket for escrow and ran off with some down payments
00:18:34So you got hung for a sheep when you were really a lamb?
00:18:37Yeah
00:18:39What are you doing loose?
00:18:41My brother the liar. You never met him
00:18:43You gotta be straight
00:18:45Are you kidding? He's strictly Walt Disney
00:18:47His reputation's like the flip side of mine
00:18:49So the judge released me in his custody
00:18:51Is that better than jail?
00:18:52Will you tell me?
00:18:54Yeah, it's better than jail
00:18:56Okay, we're back in business
00:19:00Hey, I got this Mark in Cincinnati
00:19:04He sells plumbing supplies
00:19:06He's gotten rich because his brother-in-law's on the city council
00:19:10And hands out building contracts
00:19:12I figure we can set him up
00:19:14The same way we took off that jukebox bandit in Chicago
00:19:18Remember him?
00:19:19Yeah, I remember how his fat wife screamed when she found out he lost the money
00:19:24She didn't even know he had it
00:19:31Fact is Stoker, I got something in mind, but I don't think you're gonna like it
00:19:37Come on, since when don't I like your action?
00:19:40What's the size of the score?
00:19:42Expenses
00:19:45If I'm supposed to laugh, you tell me when
00:19:49But the Mark I'm after is a phony dude who's a lot worse than the bum you just hustled in this card game
00:19:55You decide to go along with me, I'll give you the details later
00:20:00For expenses
00:20:02I have to play it that way
00:20:04Even though if we get caught, we wind up in a slammer anyway, right?
00:20:07That's right
00:20:09You give me one good reason why I should
00:20:11How long have we known each other?
00:20:14That's a good reason
00:20:19Okay
00:20:21What's the Mark's name?
00:20:23Lyle Reddick
00:20:24Lyle Reddick?
00:20:25Uh-huh, he's a big deal at the League of International Charities
00:20:28And, uh, he likes to play the horses
00:20:32Okay
00:20:34Give me a few days to set up a team
00:20:36All right, I'll check with you first next week
00:20:39And, uh, Stoker, thanks
00:20:44You're not the least bit welcome
00:20:46Now it's Tuesday morn, getting the lead, and Dirty Alice finds room along the rail and moves to the top
00:20:50Make it move, baby, come on!
00:20:52Tuesday morn, and Dirty Alice on the inside
00:20:54Tuesday morn, and Dirty Alice
00:20:55And Dirty Alice gets up to win it a half-way
00:21:05The unofficial order of finish now appears on the totalizator board
00:21:08Please hold all tickets until the stewards have declared the race official
00:21:11Yes, sir, Mr. Ellis, right this way, please
00:21:17There you go
00:21:21No, no, no
00:21:40The horses are now coming on the track for the running race
00:21:42Here they are
00:21:47Isn't the number three gorgeous?
00:21:56Mr. Addison?
00:21:57Hey, Manuel, where you been?
00:21:59I had to talk to the boys, you know
00:22:09Sure
00:22:16See you before the next race
00:22:22On the nosy
00:22:24Which one?
00:22:46Did he leave any good?
00:22:47I doubt it, I just picked him up off the floor
00:22:50Oh
00:22:53They're off!
00:22:54Country Blue is going to the front on the inside
00:22:56Baby Doll's going with him, and Pearl Diver's moving up on the rail
00:22:59Followed by Solitaire and Foolish Pride
00:23:03Going into the clubhouse turn, Country Blue and Baby Doll are still in the lead
00:23:06With Pearl Diver and Solitaire right behind them
00:23:08Then it's Foolish Pride, Little Dave is moving up between the horses
00:23:11Candy Kisses and Joy Boy
00:23:14Running into the back stretch, Baby Doll moves up to challenge Country Blue for the lead
00:23:18Solitaire is now third, a mace ahead of Foolish Pride
00:23:20Candy Kisses and Joy Boy
00:23:22Into the far turn, Solitaire now takes the lead from Baby Doll
00:23:26Coming up in the stretch is Solitaire and Foolish Pride
00:23:29Now it's Maze Trust and Double Down coming down to challenge the first two
00:23:32Solitaire and Double Down, neck and neck
00:23:34Solitaire and Double Down and Double Down
00:23:36Getting up to win it ahead at the wire
00:23:44I wouldn't have it any other way
00:23:46Go get the money and do it again
00:23:50The unofficial order has finished now, it appears on the totalizator board
00:23:53These hold all tickets
00:23:54Yeah, win them all, huh?
00:23:55The stewards have declared the race official
00:23:57It's only money
00:23:58Yeah
00:24:00That's the way, a good time's always cheap, huh?
00:24:06Got anything in the next?
00:24:08Not yet, how about you?
00:24:14Oh
00:24:19Wouldn't it be great if it was this easy?
00:24:21Now?
00:24:22No, wait till the horses get out on the track
00:24:25You better get back to work
00:24:29What did Max tip you?
00:24:30Fifty
00:24:31Okay, he'll probably give you another one, keep them both and thanks
00:24:35It's a pleasure
00:24:43Come on
00:24:59The horses are now on the track for the running of the sixth race
00:25:13The horses are now on the track for the running of the sixth race
00:25:29What do you think of that horse?
00:25:31Poor horse
00:25:33Yeah, I wouldn't throw him out
00:25:37You mean you like something better?
00:25:40Let's just say I got talked into it
00:25:44Your little friend, you mean?
00:25:46Well, it gets a lot closer to the horse's mouth than I do
00:25:49Yeah, I'll bet he does
00:25:51Who's he like?
00:25:54Ah
00:25:55You see, it's this way, I sort of promised I wouldn't spread anything around
00:25:58It's part of the deal, you understand?
00:26:00Yeah, sure
00:26:01Hey
00:26:09Hey, wait a minute
00:26:11I can't tell you the horse
00:26:13But, uh
00:26:15I never promised I wouldn't place a bet for a friend
00:26:19You're a friend, Max
00:26:24Lyle Redding
00:26:25John Addison
00:26:26Margo Wilson
00:26:27How do you do?
00:26:28Hi
00:26:29You got one happy family, huh?
00:26:33How much do you want to put down?
00:26:35Two hundred?
00:26:37Will that, uh, get you even?
00:26:40Are you that sure?
00:26:42I usually get what I pay for
00:26:47Five hundred?
00:26:52You can keep your money
00:26:54But you pay me back out of your winnings
00:26:56Oh, boy, you're something else
00:26:58It's fun
00:27:00Relax, enjoy yourself
00:27:04Tell Stoker to buy five hundred dollars worth of win tickets on every horse in the race
00:27:08Bring it back with you
00:27:15You, uh, get out here often?
00:27:17Oh, yeah, whenever I can
00:27:20Ten horses
00:27:22That means we lose
00:27:23Forty-five hundred bucks, no matter which horse wins
00:27:26You can't accumulate if you don't speculate
00:27:29Yeah, but you said that Stoker only wanted to bet two hundred
00:27:32Why didn't Max let him?
00:27:34You're telling Max how to run a con
00:27:37He's beautiful
00:27:38That's terrific
00:27:39You can start a fan club when you're on welfare
00:27:42And make sure you get the five hundred bucks
00:27:44Summer Hawn still holds the lead with Village Sheriff second along the rail
00:27:47And starting to move from far back
00:27:49Longest day
00:27:51As they go into the far turn is Summer Hawn and Village Sheriff
00:27:54Neck and neck, and here comes Longest Day
00:27:56Closing much ground on the outside
00:27:58Into the stretch is still Summer Hawn and Village Sheriff
00:28:01Now opening up a length on the other
00:28:03But here comes Longest Day
00:28:04Circling horses on the outside
00:28:06And here comes Village Sheriff
00:28:08Neck and neck, and here comes Longest Day
00:28:10Closing much ground on the outside
00:28:12Longest Day circling horses on the outside
00:28:14As he moves to the middle of the track
00:28:16Summer Hawn and Village Sheriff still head the barn
00:28:18And Longest Day's closing ground on the outside
00:28:20It is Summer Hawn and Village Sheriff
00:28:22And now Longest Day
00:28:23It's Summer Hawn and Village Sheriff
00:28:24And now it's Longest Day on the outside
00:28:26Taking the lead and flying off
00:28:28Longest Day
00:28:29It's the three horse
00:28:30Oh yeah
00:28:31That's right
00:28:32That ain't good Mr. Reddick
00:28:33His win ticket's on the three horse
00:28:35Should I cash the red seven?
00:28:36On the way out, yeah
00:28:38How about that?
00:28:40Twelve to one, that's six thousand dollars
00:28:43Not bad, huh?
00:28:45It's a shame we have to go
00:28:47Oh look, let me buy you a drink
00:28:49What am I talking about?
00:28:51I'll take you to dinner tonight, both of you
00:28:53Oh, that'd be very nice
00:28:54But you don't have to do that
00:28:56It's settled
00:28:57Harrison's at seven thirty?
00:28:59We'd like that
00:29:00That'd be great
00:29:01I have to flap to Sacramento for a couple hours
00:29:03But I can be back by eight thirty
00:29:05Anything you say
00:29:06Eight thirty would be perfect
00:29:07All right, don't forget now
00:29:08Not a chance
00:29:09Five hundred dollars
00:29:12Hey, I'm just kidding
00:29:13No
00:29:14I'm sorry
00:29:17Okay, okay
00:29:18It's a bad joke
00:29:19I'll see you tonight, huh?
00:29:20All right, I'll be looking forward to it
00:29:34Howdy
00:29:36Oh
00:29:38Oh, what's this for?
00:29:40I don't know, what can I get for him?
00:29:42How about a karate chop?
00:29:45Is Steve in?
00:29:46No, he had a meeting uptown
00:29:47But he left you a message
00:29:48He says you're wrong about Rettig
00:29:50Rettig has three hundred thousand dollars equity
00:29:52In a million dollar office building in New York
00:29:55You understand that?
00:29:56I do, Steve doesn't
00:29:58Rettig inherited that estate free and clear
00:30:00Which means he's already barred seven hundred thousand against it
00:30:02And has a heavy mortgage to pay off
00:30:05Also, Steve said he'd be back at seven
00:30:07If you're free for dinner
00:30:08I'm not
00:30:09Why don't you put one of these in your teeth and go instead?
00:30:13My, you're all lively and full of beans
00:30:15All of a sudden, aren't you?
00:30:17It's this new girl I'm seeing tonight
00:30:19Uh-huh, you're up to something
00:30:22I don't know what it is
00:30:23But you're up to something
00:30:25Max
00:30:27Don't get into trouble
00:30:29Your brother put himself on the line for you
00:30:31Don't let him down
00:30:33Relax, Lola, everything's fine
00:30:36I don't believe you
00:30:50It's almost nine o'clock
00:30:51It's all right, it's all right
00:30:52Shirley and the other bimbo will be there keeping him company
00:30:55Yeah, who is the other girl?
00:30:56Carol Peters
00:30:58Yeah, we used that time in St. Louis
00:31:01The one who fell in love with the mark?
00:31:05It's all right
00:31:06She'd lived and learned since then
00:31:08I hope so
00:31:09Stoker
00:31:11You remember now
00:31:12I gotta pick up my boss at his girlfriend's pad by midnight
00:31:15Don't worry, Cinderella, you'll be there
00:31:18Who's the, uh...
00:31:19Who's the maitre d' at Harrison's?
00:31:20Louis
00:31:21He's an old friend of yours
00:31:24How much do we have to pay for the old friendship?
00:31:26A hundred
00:31:28So far, we're about twelve thousand in the Redding County
00:31:51Louis
00:31:52John Addison
00:31:53Of course, Mr. Addison
00:31:55How are you?
00:31:56Nice to have you with us tonight
00:31:57Your friends are already seated there
00:31:59Will you follow me, please?
00:32:03Wow
00:32:04Hello, John
00:32:05You were getting worried
00:32:06You look like you were worried
00:32:08Margot
00:32:09It's a pleasure to serve you again, Mr. Addison
00:32:11The chef was just telling me the other night
00:32:13What's his name?
00:32:14Andre
00:32:15Andre, Andre, right
00:32:16Don't tell him, I forget
00:32:17Tell him hello and I'll have my usual
00:32:19Very good, sir
00:32:21Well, isn't someone going to introduce me to this lovely lady?
00:32:24Oh, that's right, you haven't met Bonnie before
00:32:26Uh...
00:32:27John Addison, Bonnie Freed
00:32:29I've heard so much about you
00:32:34For you, Mr. Addison
00:32:35I won't take any local calls
00:32:37Saudi Arabia
00:32:39I'm sorry, team
00:32:41John Addison
00:32:44Sure, put him on
00:32:48Hello, Your Highness
00:32:49Hello, Your Highness
00:32:51I'm fine, sir, how are you?
00:32:55No, that's what the California people said
00:32:58I never agreed to it
00:33:01I see
00:33:03Uh-huh
00:33:06Fine, now that sounds reasonable
00:33:10Yes, in that case
00:33:12Tell the British people I'm going to move
00:33:16If they don't like that
00:33:17We'll get along without them, right?
00:33:20Right
00:33:22Fine, thank you, Your Highness
00:33:25Nice talking to you, sir
00:33:27Goodbye
00:33:34Trouble?
00:33:37Depends which side you're on
00:33:41Now, where were we?
00:33:47And then the Senator said he really can't talk to the stock market boys
00:33:50Until he's sure he's going to be re-elected
00:33:52Fishing for a campaign contribution, you know?
00:33:55And then you remember what you told him?
00:33:58Johnny here says, well, Senator
00:34:00What kind of bribe did you have in mind?
00:34:03Just like that
00:34:04Just like that
00:34:06He was a crook
00:34:07Johnny Addison!
00:34:09How are you?
00:34:10Hello, Stan
00:34:11What are you doing here?
00:34:12I thought you were somewhere else, that's what I'm doing here
00:34:14Margo Wilson, Bonnie Fried, Lyle Reddick
00:34:16I guess you're going to have to meet Stan Dennis
00:34:18Bless you, sir
00:34:19Keep your seat
00:34:20I guess you can tell he's from Houston
00:34:21You know, I've had three secretaries trying to track you down all week
00:34:24I'll have to get my own secretaries a raise
00:34:27I suppose you're going to insist on joining us?
00:34:29Just for a second
00:34:33Oh, nothing from me, thank you
00:34:35Johnny
00:34:37I want to make you an offer on that gold mine in Arizona
00:34:40What gold mine?
00:34:41One you own
00:34:42I'm not in the mining business
00:34:44You bought that mine and a half dozen others through your West Coast office
00:34:48I checked records, transfers, titles
00:34:50You bought it in 1970
00:34:52That long ago?
00:34:53You expect me to remember?
00:34:54What difference does that make?
00:34:56You don't care about it and I do
00:34:57Now give me a price
00:34:58All right
00:34:59Talk to my people and get back to you first of the week
00:35:02Reckon now I have to do?
00:35:03You won't forget
00:35:04If I do, that's my answer
00:35:09I just love him, you know that?
00:35:10Even when he cost me a fortune
00:35:12Which he has done several times
00:35:14You take care, Johnny
00:35:15Yeah, that's a promise
00:35:16It's a real pleasure meeting you all
00:35:18Excuse me again
00:35:22Who's that?
00:35:24How many billionaires do you know?
00:35:28I don't think I know any
00:35:30You do now
00:35:33Danvers?
00:35:34Stanley Danvers
00:35:37You won't hear his name around a lot
00:35:39You'll hear about the sale of the Queen Mary
00:35:41Or the construction of an Alaskan pipeline
00:35:43Things like that
00:35:44And when you do
00:35:45You can be damn sure
00:35:46Stanley Danvers is making a few hundred more million
00:35:50I think it's funny you being a gold miner
00:35:51And you don't even know it
00:35:55What about that gold mine?
00:35:57I don't know
00:35:59You can be damn sure
00:36:00If Stan Danvers is interested
00:36:01I'm gonna find out why
00:36:05Well, I think it's that time
00:36:09Why don't we go to the powder room
00:36:10And give the fellas a chance to talk behind our backs
00:36:18How do you like yours?
00:36:20I'll let you know in the morning
00:36:23Look, I know you're madly in love with her
00:36:25But could it wait for another night?
00:36:28What do you mean?
00:36:29I got something I want to talk to you about
00:36:33Sure
00:36:35Good
00:36:36We'll drop him off on the way home from here
00:36:37Margo will explain it to Bonnie
00:36:39Margo's used to this by now
00:36:51Hey, Lyle, it's a nice night
00:36:53What do you say we walk a little?
00:36:55Good idea
00:36:56Make me feel like I'm in New York
00:36:59Edgar, you won't be needing the car anymore tonight
00:37:01Thank you
00:37:02Yes, sir, thank you
00:37:03Good night, sir
00:37:06Good night
00:37:12Thank you
00:37:21Lyle, let me say first that
00:37:23We don't know each other very well
00:37:24I don't mean to embarrass you, but
00:37:26I get feelings about people
00:37:27I like the feelings I get about you
00:37:29Well, it's mutual, John
00:37:30Good
00:37:32Are you free on Sunday?
00:37:33If I want to be
00:37:34Why?
00:37:36I'm having a little party
00:37:37For a business friend from Germany
00:37:40And that's not all there is to it
00:37:41Naturally
00:37:43My business friend is aware of the fact
00:37:44That I have to sell off a few thousand acres of timberland in Canada
00:37:47I have to for tax reasons, and he knows it
00:37:49And he's trying to squeeze you
00:37:51That's called business
00:37:52What I want you to do is to outbid him
00:37:56You mean?
00:37:57Yeah
00:37:59Now, how much?
00:38:00What's the difference? I'm not going to hold you to it
00:38:02Look, the acreage is worth three million
00:38:04He can afford that
00:38:05And in front of him, I want you to offer
00:38:06Two and three quarters
00:38:07Well, suppose he backs off?
00:38:09Then it becomes my problem
00:38:11But he won't
00:38:12He doesn't know you, and he wants that timberland
00:38:14He'll buy
00:38:16And besides
00:38:17He'll give us a chance to see how we work together, right?
00:38:20Just can't keep a step ahead of you, can I?
00:38:24Listen, where's this party going to be?
00:38:25I'll buy a boat
00:38:26I'll have a car pick up around noon
00:38:27All right, that'll be good
00:38:29Great
00:38:31Give me your money
00:38:33Come on, fast
00:38:34Come on, kid, don't get crazy
00:38:36Get it up, or I'll cut you, man
00:38:37I mean it
00:38:38All right, just give us a minute
00:38:44Hold him, hold him
00:38:46Wait a while, no, wait
00:38:47No, please
00:38:48I wasn't going to hurt you
00:38:49I wasn't
00:38:50We don't want to get involved in this
00:38:52You got it coming, kid
00:38:53And probably worse
00:38:54But get out of here
00:38:56Come on, come on
00:38:57Get out of here
00:39:04Thanks, John
00:39:05You took a hell of a chance
00:39:07Not so tough
00:39:08You just got to stand up to him, that's all
00:39:11Look
00:39:12I really don't feel like walking anymore
00:39:14How about you?
00:39:16Let's get a cab, we'll drop you off
00:39:21I think Carol handled it okay
00:39:22I mean
00:39:23She came on like she really dug the guy
00:39:25It'll never last, sweetheart
00:39:34Hi
00:39:36How'd it go?
00:39:37Great
00:39:38All set for Sunday
00:39:39You got the boat?
00:39:40Three hundred a day if we don't sail
00:39:42So we don't sail
00:39:44Doesn't matter
00:39:45What'd you get for the, uh, for the German?
00:39:48Herb Carruthers talks to Wiener Schnitzel pretty good
00:39:50Good
00:39:52Went fine tonight, huh?
00:39:53Yeah
00:39:54I thought so
00:39:56The mugging bit worked like a charm
00:39:59The guy was great, whoever he was
00:40:01But maybe you could tell me about these things beforehand
00:40:03Ruin a good shirt
00:40:12What's the matter?
00:40:14I didn't set up any mugging
00:40:17You didn't set up any mugging?
00:40:33What's the matter?
00:41:04Yeah
00:41:06You sure it's him?
00:41:09Alright, make like a sailor
00:41:11Alright everybody, he's here
00:41:33Hi
00:41:38Lyle, where you been?
00:41:40Johnny, look who's here
00:41:43Lyle
00:41:44Glad you could come
00:41:45How are you?
00:41:46Fine
00:41:47Say, isn't this Dan Morgan's yacht?
00:41:50What do you mean?
00:41:51See, Morgan invited me on a weekend cruise last winter
00:41:54And it can't be two like this
00:41:56Margaret, see if you can get me a straight bourbon
00:41:57I hate champagne
00:41:58Yeah
00:42:01So you know Dan
00:42:04Yeah, great guy
00:42:06How well do you know him?
00:42:08So-so
00:42:09Here, there, around town
00:42:11Dan has been having a little financial trouble
00:42:14And he doesn't want anyone in the business community
00:42:16You understand?
00:42:17Sure, sure
00:42:18So he sold you the shirt?
00:42:20Just between us, yeah
00:42:22With the understanding that I sell it back to him when it gets on his feet again
00:42:25That's a hell of an understanding
00:42:27For him, that is
00:42:28I'd like to think you'd do the same thing for me
00:42:31Well there, John boy
00:42:32I want to talk to you
00:42:34Countess, I'd like you to meet Lyle Reddick
00:42:35Lyle, this is the Countess de Vignier
00:42:38Is he important?
00:42:40He's my friend
00:42:42Okay, hello
00:42:44Now listen, John
00:42:45I want you to sell those Swiss securities you bought for me
00:42:49Okay
00:42:51Now wait a minute
00:42:52Why are you being so agreeable?
00:42:54It's your money
00:42:55I just did you a favor
00:42:57If you want to lose ten million by selling now
00:42:58Be my guest
00:43:00You know, I love to lose money
00:43:03Then why don't you shut up and let me sell those securities when I think you should
00:43:07Don't talk to me like that
00:43:09You love it, you fraud
00:43:11Excuse me a minute
00:43:15I guess you do agree with him
00:43:18I always agree with him, you idiot
00:43:27Is he still suspicious about the boat?
00:43:29No, I think it's all right now
00:43:31Do you believe out of all the boats in California
00:43:32Stoke would rent the one that Mark's been on?
00:43:35You think Stoke is getting old?
00:43:36Well, for a minute there I was
00:43:38Caviar
00:43:41You ready?
00:43:43Lyle
00:43:45Excuse me
00:43:48Lyle, I want you to meet an old friend of mine
00:43:50This is Otto Copper
00:43:51Otto, this is Lyle Reddick
00:43:52How do you do, sir?
00:43:53How do you do?
00:43:54Johnny here
00:43:55He tells me that you are interested in his timber
00:43:58Well, if his timber means money, yes
00:44:02Then you're really prepared to spend two and three quarter million dollars for his holdings?
00:44:07I think it's worth that much
00:44:09But not a penny more
00:44:10I see
00:44:11Now, now
00:44:13Then I must congratulate you
00:44:14And wish you luck, Mr. Reddick
00:44:16Now, if you'll excuse me
00:44:18Otto
00:44:21He quit
00:44:22Don't you believe it
00:44:23He'll come back at me
00:44:24He'll come back at me
00:44:25That not a penny more bit was marvelous
00:44:27Was perfect
00:44:29Thank you
00:44:31Excuse me a minute
00:44:39Bad news?
00:44:41Ah, no, no
00:44:43It's good
00:44:44Maybe
00:44:45You remember that gold mine I was talking about the other night in the restaurant?
00:44:48Oh yeah, with that friend of yours?
00:44:50That wheeler dealer, what was his name?
00:44:51Stan Danvers
00:44:52Right
00:44:53I asked my San Francisco office to check it out
00:44:55Listen to this
00:44:56With recent increase in price of gold
00:44:58We recommend the property be investigated before sold off
00:45:01Well, that's true
00:45:02The price of gold has gone up five hundred percent in the last year
00:45:05Yeah, it has, hasn't it?
00:45:08I really should get into this
00:45:09Right away
00:45:10But it's a tough week for me
00:45:13It's always the way
00:45:15Listen, John
00:45:17I got a little free time
00:45:18If I could help you out in any way
00:45:20Oh, no, I appreciate it
00:45:21But I need the geologist report
00:45:28If I gave you the location of the mine
00:45:31Do you think you could check out a geologist in Tucson?
00:45:34Have him do a survey for me?
00:45:35Sure
00:45:36A few phone calls?
00:45:38Yeah
00:45:39Yeah, we could just fly in there this weekend
00:45:41Have a talk with him and wrap the whole thing up
00:45:44We?
00:45:45Why not?
00:45:47You help me
00:45:48Least I can do is show you a fun weekend
00:45:51Well, there's nothing wrong with that
00:45:53But I don't mind mixing a little business with pleasure myself, you know
00:45:56What do you mean?
00:45:58Well, I'm too young to retire
00:46:00And if a proposition came along
00:46:03I'd like you to keep me in mind
00:46:05Listen, timber deals start up with other people in Canada
00:46:08No, no, no, no
00:46:09I don't mean anything you've already got going
00:46:12But do you have any partners on that gold mine?
00:46:16You gotta be kidding
00:46:17This is a real shot in the dark
00:46:20Well, your rich friend doesn't seem to think so
00:46:23And your San Francisco office, they don't seem to think so either
00:46:28You're starting to convince me
00:46:30Okay, sure
00:46:32Turns out to be something you can buy in
00:46:34How much would that be?
00:46:37Well, let's see
00:46:38The whole thing cost me a half million originally
00:46:41Didn't have any part of it
00:46:43So that would be $250,000 for half interest?
00:46:47Right
00:46:49Looks good
00:46:51You got a deal?
00:46:54Excuse me, gentlemen
00:46:55Yes, Otto
00:46:56Er, Johnny
00:46:57Could I speak for you a moment?
00:46:58Sure
00:46:59Loud
00:47:00Sure
00:47:05Want it to look like a deal or an argument?
00:47:06First one or the other
00:47:07No
00:47:08No, no, no
00:47:09Too much, too much
00:47:10We're talking about thousands of acres of land
00:47:19Excuse me
00:47:49Listen, he's tied up this afternoon
00:48:09He said he'll meet us at the mine at 10 in the morning
00:48:11Why, he hasn't checked out yet?
00:48:13He's doing that right now
00:48:15I figured you'd rather see the place than just get a paper report
00:48:19I don't know what for
00:48:21I don't mean to be funny
00:48:22But I wouldn't know a gold mine from a hole in the ground
00:48:25This geologist, mining engineer, whatever he is
00:48:27You've checked him out, right?
00:48:29He's the best
00:48:30Been doing business in this area for 20 years
00:48:33Good
00:48:34Max!
00:48:36I don't believe it!
00:48:40So this is where you disappeared to
00:48:42Why didn't you tell me you were leaving Miami?
00:48:44Er, who said I left?
00:48:46Well, the police, for one
00:48:48But when I didn't hear from you, I called them
00:48:50Are you out on bail?
00:48:51Er, no, no, I never got to that
00:48:53I want you to meet a friend of mine
00:48:55This is Joe Rogers
00:48:56Joe, this is, er...
00:48:59Er...
00:49:01I don't believe you
00:49:04I'm terrible with names
00:49:06And, er, since when am I a name?
00:49:10I'm Susan Monahan
00:49:12Hi, how do you do?
00:49:13How do you do?
00:49:14Come on, Susan, you just spring out of nowhere
00:49:16You surprise me for a minute
00:49:18Have a drink
00:49:19No, no thanks, Max
00:49:21I think I'll just spring back into nowhere
00:49:24I'm sorry if this embarrassed you, Mr. Rogers
00:49:26No, not at all
00:49:37Who is that?
00:49:38Susan Monahan, I guess
00:49:40Do you know her?
00:49:42Sure
00:49:43Well, I thought you picked up on the fact I didn't want her to know me
00:49:46Yeah, well, I figured that when she called you Max
00:49:49And then you introduced me as Joe Rogers
00:49:53Great looking girl
00:49:55She's a lush, though
00:49:57She didn't look drunk to me
00:49:59And what was that about the police and you being on bail?
00:50:02I don't know, some story I must have told her
00:50:04I've forgotten by now
00:50:06You remember every story you told women in your time?
00:50:09Depends on the woman
00:50:12Well, anyway, I got rid of her
00:50:14I'm gonna go get cleaned up
00:50:16I'll meet you at the bar in, say, an hour?
00:50:18Yeah, sure
00:50:21Hello, Operator
00:50:23Do you have a Susan Monahan registered here?
00:50:44Hello, Operator
00:50:46Do you have a Susan Monahan registered here?
00:50:51Oh, hi
00:50:54I'm sorry to disturb you, Miss Monahan
00:50:56But I was wondering if I could speak to you for a moment
00:50:58What about?
00:51:01Well, may I come in?
00:51:06Would you like a drink?
00:51:08No, thank you
00:51:11It's Joe, right? Joe Rogers?
00:51:15Yes, right
00:51:17Look, I'm a little puzzled
00:51:18A little while ago with my friend
00:51:20Max?
00:51:21Yes, he did remember you, didn't he?
00:51:23Oh, he remembered me all right
00:51:25Are you sure you want to have a drink?
00:51:27No, no, thank you
00:51:28What was it he was pretending not to remember?
00:51:31Well, now, why is that any business of yours?
00:51:34Well, there could be a lot of money involved
00:51:37Oh, yeah?
00:51:39Maybe your money, not mine
00:51:42Well, that could be arranged
00:51:45You see, in business we operate a lot like the internal revenue
00:51:49We consider it a normal business expense to pay for valuable information
00:51:56Is that stuff real?
00:51:58Now, what was it our friend was pretending not to remember?
00:52:02Hey, it's not that big a deal
00:52:06Well, what is it?
00:52:10I'm separated from my husband
00:52:13One night last year I was out with Max
00:52:15And when we both came home
00:52:17My husband was there waiting
00:52:19He was drunk
00:52:21And they had a fight, bad
00:52:23Max had to really beat him up
00:52:26What has that got to do with the police?
00:52:29Well, he brought charges against him
00:52:33I mean, assault and battery
00:52:34The goon was my husband, you know
00:52:36And it looked bad
00:52:38Anyway, Max, when he got out on bail
00:52:42I paid him off to drop the charges
00:52:45Is that all?
00:52:48Listen, it was really a mess
00:52:57Am I going to get to keep that $500?
00:53:02Yeah
00:53:05Listen
00:53:08When you see Johnny
00:53:09Huh?
00:53:10I mean, Max
00:53:13I wish you wouldn't mention this little talk we had
00:53:18To hell with him
00:53:41How'd I do?
00:53:43You were a sensation
00:53:47Are you sure this stuff is mostly water?
00:53:49Yeah
00:53:50A lot of people drink it
00:53:52Some to remember, some to forget
00:53:55Oh, Max
00:53:59Hey, if this guy's the guy who swindled you
00:54:02On that Florida real estate deal
00:54:04How come he doesn't know you?
00:54:06He's the guy behind the guy
00:54:08The guy behind the guy?
00:54:10Uh-huh
00:54:12Well, even if I had known who he was
00:54:14I wouldn't have liked it
00:54:15Very bad vibes
00:54:18Vibes are where you find them
00:54:24Max
00:54:38Max
00:54:56If there is gold around here
00:54:57I'm not sure I want it
00:54:59It must be in the mine
00:55:05Hello
00:55:08Who's there?
00:55:15Mr. Carson?
00:55:16Yes, sir
00:55:17Why, I read it
00:55:20Mr. Addison
00:55:21Oh, yes
00:55:22Very nice to meet you, gentlemen
00:55:24Mr. Addison, uh
00:55:25I believe you're the owner of this property
00:55:27Yes, that's right
00:55:28You had a chance to, uh
00:55:29Analyze it, praise it, whatever
00:55:32Yes, sir
00:55:33Yes, I have
00:55:38Mr. Carson
00:55:39This is lovely country
00:55:40And it's a pleasure meeting you
00:55:41But is there any gold in the mine?
00:55:44You want the truth?
00:55:46Preferably
00:55:48There's not enough gold in there to fill your teeth
00:55:51The mine is a dud
00:56:08What does a man like Danvins want?
00:56:11That's what I'm trying to figure out
00:56:14Well, I know one way to find out
00:56:16How?
00:56:18Offer to sell him the mine
00:56:20Well, what if he said okay?
00:56:22Well, what if he did?
00:56:23Yeah, serve him right, huh?
00:56:29Yeah
00:56:30Stanley may be a little tricky, but I'm not
00:56:35Out of the hell with it
00:56:36Look
00:56:37I got a lot of phone calls to make when we get back to the hotel
00:56:39Why don't you call down to the desk
00:56:40And get us reservations on the first flight back to Los Angeles
00:56:43No, I didn't know there was a convention leaving town today
00:56:50And I don't care
00:56:53All right
00:56:54If you can't get us on the four o'clock flight
00:56:56What about the one afterwards?
00:56:59All right
00:57:00If I'm not here
00:57:01Call Mr. Addison's room, please
00:57:03Thank you
00:57:06Mr. Danvers
00:57:08Hey, boy
00:57:11Mr. Danvers
00:57:13Uh, no, but I'm a friend of his
00:57:14Is he registered here?
00:57:15I don't know, sir
00:57:16The switchboard has a long-distance call point
00:57:19Look, do me a favor, huh?
00:57:20Yes, sir
00:57:21If you find him
00:57:22Let me know where he is
00:57:24But don't mention I asked, huh?
00:57:25I'd like a good price
00:57:26Yes, sir
00:57:27I'll be right here
00:57:28Yes, sir
00:57:41I'll be right here
00:57:42Yes, sir
00:57:43I'll be right here
00:57:44Yes, sir
00:57:45I'll be right here
00:57:46Yes, sir
00:57:47I'll be right here
00:57:48Yes, sir
00:57:49I'll be right here
00:57:50Yes, sir
00:57:51I'll be right here
00:57:52Yes, sir
00:57:53I'll be right here
00:57:54Yes, sir
00:57:55I'll be right here
00:57:56Yes, sir
00:57:57I'll be right here
00:57:58Yes, sir
00:57:59I'll be right here
00:58:00Yes, sir
00:58:01I'll be right here
00:58:02Yes, sir
00:58:03I'll be right here
00:58:04Yes, sir
00:58:05I'll be right here
00:58:06Yes, sir
00:58:07I'll be right here
00:58:08Yes, sir
00:58:09I'll be right here
00:58:10What's the matter?
00:58:18Hello, Danvers
00:58:20Hello
00:58:21Sorry I...
00:58:23I know we met but I can't...
00:58:24Lyle Readding
00:58:26Having dinner with Johnny Addison about
00:58:28In LA, of course, of course
00:58:29Sit down, sit down
00:58:31I just got here myself
00:58:32Great country, isn't it?
00:58:35How long you here for?
00:58:36We're leaving this evening
00:58:37We?
00:58:38Well, Johnny's here with me
00:58:40He is, and listen, you two fellas gotta let me buy you a drink before you go.
00:58:45We actually came down here to look at that goldmine you wanted to buy.
00:58:48Goldmine?
00:58:50Of course, the goldmine. Well, that was last week.
00:58:54You mean you're not interested anymore?
00:58:56Oh, no, I didn't rightly say that.
00:58:57You see, he never did get back to me on that.
00:58:59I figured he was in interest.
00:59:01Why, you, uh...
00:59:03You have something to do with that?
00:59:05Could be.
00:59:07What did you figure that property was worth, when you were interested, that is?
00:59:12Are we playing a game, Mr. Reddick?
00:59:14Are we talking business?
00:59:16I'm talking business.
00:59:19All right.
00:59:20I'm trying to pay you half a million dollars for that property.
00:59:22That includes the mine and a thousand acres of real estate.
00:59:26Since I'm interested only in the mine,
00:59:29I'd be willing to gamble half a million dollars on that.
00:59:31Gamble?
00:59:32Of course.
00:59:33How do I know it's worth a quarter?
00:59:35Well, Johnny likes a little gamble, too.
00:59:38And if you were going to buy him out, he'd have to show a profit on his investment.
00:59:42Yeah.
00:59:44That's what you tell him, if he asks.
00:59:46If he asks?
00:59:47He will ask.
00:59:51Oh, I truly do love that stuff.
00:59:54It just goes right through you.
00:59:56Excuse me, Mr. Reddick.
00:59:58I need a minute to think over what you said.
01:00:36All right, Mr. Reddick.
01:00:40Make me a fair price.
01:00:42A flat million for the whole property.
01:00:44Uh-huh.
01:00:46But you will take 750,000 cash, right?
01:00:49I didn't say that.
01:00:50Let me put it this way.
01:00:52If you get Johnny to take the 750,000 cash,
01:00:56I'll give you half a million dollars.
01:00:58I'll give you half a million dollars.
01:01:00I'll give you half a million dollars.
01:01:02If you get Johnny to take the 750,000,
01:01:06it'll be worth another 100,000 to you personally, just between us.
01:01:11But your effort's on my behalf.
01:01:13Where are you going to be for the next few hours?
01:01:16Anywhere you want me to be.
01:01:20Stay near his telephone.
01:01:29I'll lock on it.
01:01:33I called off the desk.
01:01:34We've got reservations on a 6.30 flight.
01:01:36Plenty of time.
01:01:38Really wanted to make a vacation out of this, you know?
01:01:41Got a call from Rome about a film company I've been after.
01:01:44How'd you like to be in the movie business?
01:01:47Sure.
01:01:48That'd be great.
01:01:49All those starlets.
01:01:52Listen, John, I was thinking, uh...
01:01:55What are you going to do about that mine?
01:01:57Uh, I don't know.
01:01:59Tell jokes about it, I guess.
01:02:02Listen, uh...
01:02:05I was thinking, why don't I take it off your hands?
01:02:08What are you talking about?
01:02:11Well, didn't you ever get a hunch?
01:02:12I mean, I just got this crazy idea that, uh,
01:02:14maybe if I work the mine or the land around it...
01:02:18Well, you were standing right there when the guy that you hired
01:02:22told us the mine was a complete dud.
01:02:25I know, but that's just one guy.
01:02:26He makes a couple of hundred bucks a week.
01:02:29Now, guys like us, we do better,
01:02:30because we're willing to trust our instincts.
01:02:33Uh, either you know something I don't know,
01:02:36or you are crazy.
01:02:38Look, I know it don't make sense,
01:02:40but I think it's worth a crap shoot.
01:02:45Okay.
01:02:47Who am I to argue with you?
01:02:49I've done a thousand wild things that other people thought were crazy.
01:02:52And you haven't done too badly, have you?
01:02:55So then tell me.
01:02:58Okay, so we both know I'd be selling you a...
01:03:00an empty gold mine.
01:03:03I'm sure it's not going to make a profit on you.
01:03:05What kind of deal do you want?
01:03:08I don't know. You were willing to, uh,
01:03:10sell me half interest for a quarter of a million
01:03:12when you thought the mine was worth something.
01:03:14That's right.
01:03:15How about the same price for the whole package?
01:03:20Okay.
01:03:21If that's what you want, I got the beat right here.
01:03:24If you haven't changed your mind by the time I get back to L.A.,
01:03:26if you can pay me then, we'll close the deal.
01:03:28No, no. I was thinking if we did make a deal,
01:03:31that I'd stay on here and start things going.
01:03:34Oh, I see.
01:03:36Then you'd owe me the money.
01:03:38Oh, no, no. Nothing like that.
01:03:40I don't believe in taking advantage of, uh, friends in business.
01:03:50Quarter of a million cash.
01:03:52You carry that much cash around with you?
01:03:54Well, I figured if we did make a deal,
01:03:56that I'd rather not put it through the bank.
01:04:03Yeah.
01:04:05Sure, I could use a little non-taxable, uh, pocket money, huh?
01:04:11Got a pen?
01:04:24Yeah.
01:04:32You just bought yourself a gold mine.
01:04:55Uh, Mr. Danvers, please.
01:05:04Hello.
01:05:05Hello, operator?
01:05:08Yes, I know there's no answer.
01:05:10Did Mr. Danvers leave a message where he could be reached?
01:05:15No.
01:05:16Uh, yes.
01:05:17Tell him Mr. Redding called and I'll be in the hotel.
01:05:20Uh, yes.
01:05:21Tell him Mr. Redding called and I'll be in the hotel.
01:05:25Okay, thanks.
01:05:42What'd it cost?
01:05:46Well...
01:05:48500 for the mine, plus the Arizona expenses,
01:05:52on top of what we paid out in L.A.,
01:05:55we are...
01:05:57just about 25,000 out of pocket.
01:06:02That's what we figured, right?
01:06:03Yeah.
01:06:07Now...
01:06:09can we talk about the other 225,000?
01:06:13No.
01:06:18All right, operator, would you get me Houston information, please?
01:06:28Hello, operator?
01:06:29Uh, I'd like the telephone listing for Stanley Danvers,
01:06:34uh, his office or his company in Houston.
01:06:37That's right, Danvers.
01:06:48Well, there must be a listing.
01:07:04Mr. Redding?
01:07:05Yeah.
01:07:06Mr. Danvers is not in his room, sir.
01:07:08Well, did you check it out yourself?
01:07:09Oh, yes, sir. His clothes are there, luggage, everything.
01:07:13That doesn't make any sense.
01:07:14Isn't that the same gentleman I paged for a call yesterday?
01:07:17Yeah, yeah, that's right, Danvers.
01:07:19Yes, sir.
01:07:21Thank you very much.
01:07:23After I checked his room, I asked around the bellhops,
01:07:26the doorman, you know.
01:07:28Mr. Danvers took a cab to the airport this afternoon, sir.
01:07:32What do you mean?
01:07:33Well, he didn't take any luggage.
01:07:34He might have been going to pick someone up,
01:07:36but he hasn't been back to the hotel since, sir.
01:07:37Look, what are you talking about?
01:07:39Did you see him get on a plane?
01:07:40Did somebody see him get on a plane?
01:07:42Now, that I do not know, sir.
01:07:44Excuse me.
01:08:04All right, way to go.
01:08:05You're a thief, man!
01:08:06You're a crook! You're a crook!
01:08:09You stole my money!
01:08:11You're a big idiot!
01:08:16Get off me!
01:08:25Oh, you stole my money!
01:08:26You thief!
01:08:27You dirty crook!
01:08:28I'm never going to take this money!
01:08:32Now, what about that $2,000 check
01:08:34that that mining engineer was supposed to receive?
01:08:37$50?
01:08:41You saw the check yourself?
01:08:45Well, now, why did Reddick say $2,000?
01:08:49Oh, no.
01:08:51Oh.
01:08:53Oh, no, it sounds like he's in pretty bad shape.
01:08:57Okay, listen, thanks for calling, Bill.
01:09:00Bye-bye.
01:09:04Lyle Reddick has confessed the whole thing.
01:09:07Has confessed the whole thing.
01:09:10How come?
01:09:12When they locked him up, he started babbling about
01:09:14being swindled out of a quarter of a million dollars.
01:09:18Was he?
01:09:19Nobody knows.
01:09:20He has no financial record showing a transfer of that much money.
01:09:24You know when he found out the police didn't believe him?
01:09:27He started to rant and rave, and he trapped himself.
01:09:30He finally admitted embezzling all that money from the charity.
01:09:34Do you think he really was swindled?
01:09:35Oh, I don't know.
01:09:36He started giving the police a bunch of names nobody's ever heard of.
01:09:40Um...
01:09:42I hope this isn't giving you any old fire horse temptations.
01:09:45Who, me?
01:09:48I could say, don't look an old fire horse in the mouth.
01:09:51But I won't.
01:09:54I'm sorry I'm late, but you'll never believe what happened.
01:09:58You've heard about Mr. Reddick?
01:10:00Yes, I know, that poor man.
01:10:02Well, what else happened?
01:10:04Well, you know, this has all been in the newspapers and on the television,
01:10:09the business about the money being stolen.
01:10:11Well, today, some generous person sent an anonymous cashier's check
01:10:16to the charity for all the money that Mr. Reddick took, $225,000.
01:10:22Oh, that's terrific.
01:10:24Well, it just proves that when somebody like Mr. Reddick disappoints you,
01:10:28there's always someone else to help restore your faith in the generosity of people.
01:10:33I believe that.
01:10:35I always have.
01:10:37Champagne, folks!
01:10:39Compliments to Mrs. Margolin.
01:10:41I thought we should celebrate. I hope you don't mind.
01:10:43Oh, congratulations.
01:10:45No, to the man or the woman who returned that money to charity.
01:10:51I'll drink to that.
