00:00We're going out tonight, a'int we, Ralphie?
00:21Ralphie!
00:23My friend.
00:24Hi.
00:25We're going out tonight, ain't we, Ralphie?
00:27Sure, kid.
00:28You get the loot, and we'll swing.
00:29You know it.
00:31Well, look at that.
00:43Now, that's class.
00:51It's real expensive, all hand-built.
01:03Now, that really costs...
01:05The girl or the car?
01:07The need.
01:21Shh, shh.
01:52What the young man is clutching
01:54is the rotor of her beautiful, expensive sports car,
01:57without which it will never start.
02:00A first gambit by Ralphie Teal,
02:02who feels that the world is his oyster,
02:05whose tastes are becoming very expensive.
02:08And who knows that the only way he can satisfy those tastes
02:12is for him to choose a victim.
02:15The title of tonight's story,
02:17Our leading players are Mr. Larry Blyden,
02:21Miss Susan Oliver,
02:24Mr. Vaughn Taylor,
02:27and Miss Tracy Roberts.
02:31Well, as sure as my name is Boris Karloff,
02:35you'll find it puzzling to choose the victim
02:38of tonight's macabre events.
02:40You may find yourself grossly disappointed,
02:44possibly surprised,
02:46but we do hope that you enjoy this thriller.
03:13Go.
03:37You're gonna ruin your battery if you keep at it like that.
03:40It's probably flooded already.
03:42Take a look.
03:47Good. Carved. Flooded.
03:51Just have to drain. That's all. Then you start.
03:53Think about 15 minutes.
03:5515 minutes?
03:57Yeah, you can't fight machines. You gotta swing with them.
04:00Might as well get a cup of coffee, meanwhile.
04:03I suppose.
04:05Nice little place right up there.
04:07As long as you're gonna have a cup of coffee, I'll join you. Then we'll come back and get you started.
04:10Okay.
04:16Oh, I like it at the end of summer.
04:18It's not so many people on the beach, and you feel like it's all yours.
04:21And it's still warm enough to enjoy it.
04:24It's nice to be able to sit out your troubles watching the waves.
04:41Come here often, Edith?
04:43That's right, isn't it, Edith?
04:45Yes, I don't seem to have much to do these days,
04:48so I just jump in the car and drive or come here to the beach.
04:54Do you suppose those carbs are all right now?
04:57Yeah, sure.
04:59Thank you for stopping to help.
05:01I'm glad I did.
05:03It's where I get to know you.
05:05We can talk about the beach some more.
05:07It's where I get to know you.
05:09We can talk about the beach like this.
05:12Ralph, huh?
05:14Yeah, Ralphie Teal.
05:16I'm around here most of the time.
05:25See you, buddy.
05:31I'll just check her for you.
05:38Okay, give her a try.
06:04Hi there.
06:08Hello.
06:12Told you I'd see you around on this beach sometime.
06:15Yes, you did.
06:22Sand. Had a little sand there.
06:25It's not going to be much more sun today.
06:28You won't get any tan now.
06:30I've had enough for today.
06:33Want to see where I live?
06:35Just a few minutes from here.
06:37It's a little shack on the beach, but it suits me fine.
06:43All right.
06:45Like I say, it's just a little shack on the beach.
06:49It's right over there.
06:53Oh, I get by.
06:55I do a little something when I have to,
06:57but I figure why make other people rich?
07:00Just the beach, the sun, and me.
07:03That's the way I like it.
07:05I wish it could be that way for me, too.
07:10Live with your folks? At home?
07:14My uncle, my father's brother.
07:17My parents died years ago.
07:19Just my uncle and me in that big house.
07:22Never got married.
07:34Don't get along with them, huh?
07:36Well, I don't get along too well with people, either.
07:40I guess that makes us kind of a pair, huh?
07:43What business is your uncle in?
07:46Oh, all kinds.
07:48Investments, some of this and some of that.
07:51They were all in it together, my parents and Uncle Phil.
07:54Now he runs the whole thing.
07:56He's always tried to lead my life for me, to criticize me.
08:00Be proper, be this, be that.
08:02But when it comes to himself...
08:04I'm sorry.
08:06I don't mean to just go on about this.
08:09It's all right. Everybody's got troubles.
08:13You seem to understand so much.
08:21Hey.
08:25What are you carrying, valuables?
08:28What are you carrying valuable stuff like this around for?
08:32It ought to be in a safe.
08:34Oh, Uncle Phil gives it to me.
08:37His conscience, I guess.
08:40Well, uh...
08:42Look, uh...
08:44Look.
08:46My car is being fixed over near where you told me you lived.
08:50How about giving me a lift?
08:52Of course.
08:55Just let me do something with my hair first.
09:13Boy, it sure handles like a dream.
09:16So, uh...
09:18This is where you live, huh?
09:20Would you like me to drive you to your car?
09:24Uh, no. I got a few things to do first.
09:27I'll walk.
09:29Well, if you want to.
09:31Okay. I'll, uh...
09:33I'll see you around the beach.
09:54You at the beach again?
09:56Yes.
09:58Good way to waste a day.
10:00I happen to like the beach.
10:02You're not going to meet anybody there you can marry.
10:05I don't go there for that purpose.
10:07No. You probably go there to meet the Muscle Boys.
10:10The big chest, no brain characters that haven't got a dime to their names.
10:13That's right. That's who I go there to see.
10:15You think you're joking.
10:17But I just might pay a visit to that beach to see what the attraction is.
10:20There's no admission charge. You're perfectly free to go.
10:22I don't know why I can't get through to you.
10:24You think you're above marriage or something?
10:26I've introduced you to at least four good prospects.
10:29Sound boys, but no...
10:31Leave me alone, Uncle Phil. Just leave me alone, please.
10:53Who is it?
10:55Ralphie, it's Faye.
11:02Hi, honey.
11:04Hi, kid.
11:06Aren't you going to ask me to come in?
11:08Well, uh, Faye's, like, way late.
11:10But, Ralphie, I haven't seen you in a couple of days.
11:13Yeah, well, you know me, kid. No sense of time.
11:15I've got a lot of work to do.
11:17I've got a lot of work to do.
11:19I haven't seen you in a couple of days.
11:21Yeah, well, you know me, kid. No sense of time at all.
11:23Oh, Ralphie.
11:25Hey, you been playing around with somebody else?
11:27Come on, knock it off.
11:29Listen, Ralphie,
11:31you know last week when you said you wanted some money?
11:34You were short?
11:36Well, I got an advance.
11:39Take it.
11:41Go on.
11:43Hey, thanks, kid.
11:45Now, look, why don't you go on home?
11:47I'll, uh, I'll call you tomorrow.
11:53Okay, Ralphie.
12:17Okay, Ralphie.
12:47Hey.
13:17Hey, Ralphie.
13:47Hey, Ralphie.
14:14Don't scream.
14:17Don't scream.
14:27You came here to rob me.
14:30You got to know me so you could do this.
14:33That's right.
14:35I saw your money and your bracelet and your lighter,
14:37and I worked it so I could find out where you lived and get in here.
14:40Ralph.
14:42All right, all right, now don't give me that pity bit.
14:45You wouldn't miss what I took
14:47so long as I didn't grab that silver spoon you were born with.
14:49That's it.
14:51I was just going to play Robin Hood,
14:53take it from you and give it to me.
14:55Oh, Ralph.
14:57And I thought...
14:59Okay, now, look.
15:01I didn't take anything, and you didn't scream.
15:04I go away, we call it quits.
15:07I won't try to see you again.
15:09I won't try anything.
15:13I promise.
15:18Ralph?
15:37I understand.
15:40Honestly, I do.
15:43How you feel about my having things.
15:47You just don't.
15:53Don't look at me. You're too beautiful.
15:56You look at me that way, you make me feel like a rat.
15:58Don't look at me that way.
16:00You're too beautiful.
16:02You're too beautiful.
16:04You look at me that way, you make me feel like a rat,
16:06the way you trusted me.
16:14Edith, you up?
16:16Uh, yes, yes.
16:20What was that?
16:22Uh, the closet door.
16:25The wind blew it.
16:27I closed it.
16:29Oh.
16:30The house is full of noises tonight.
16:32Okay.
17:03I never can find anything around here.
17:05Where is that wallet?
17:07Oh, here it is.
17:13Good morning.
17:15Morning.
17:16Oh, Tom Clegg just called.
17:18His son's in town. I told him you'd be delighted to have dinner with him.
17:21You would tell him that
17:23when you know I've never been able to stand him and his stupid jokes.
17:27He's the son of an old friend.
17:30As long as you're living here, you show some courtesy to my friends.
17:33I'm not going to have dinner with him.
17:35Do you have another date?
17:37I have a date with myself.
17:39It's a threesome. Me, myself, and I.
17:42It's a witty remark.
17:44And we have lots of things to do.
17:49Lots of things.
18:01Hey.
18:03Hi.
18:05It's just like mine, the one you liked.
18:14I thought I'd have your initials engraved on it,
18:16but that would have taken a day, and I didn't want to wait to give it to you.
18:19Now, baby,
18:21you've got what they call impeccable taste.
18:24You've got it.
18:27You've got what they call impeccable taste.
18:34I'll tell you what I'm going to do for you.
18:37Tonight we're going to eat out, Chinese.
18:40And after that, we're going to go dancing.
18:42I told you we have to be careful with my uncle.
18:46If he knew that I was meeting a man he didn't know...
18:49Yeah, I forgot.
18:51It's awful, I know, but he has such a temper.
18:57Alfie.
18:59Alfie, I need you so...
19:02You're so good for me.
19:11Oh, baby, I love you.
19:13You do love me.
19:16And you smell so expensive.
19:19I ought to be $30 an ounce.
19:27Hey, it fits fine.
19:30Hey, you guessed the size pretty good.
19:33Now, how'd you do that, huh?
19:35Well, I told the salesman I wanted the best sweater he had
19:38for a man who fits perfectly right in here.
19:51I'm afraid I'd better be getting back now.
19:55Tomorrow?
19:57Mm-hmm.
19:59Yeah, let's get some sun tomorrow, huh?
20:01I mean, meeting inside places, hiding all the time,
20:04I don't like that.
20:06You know, most dames like to be seen with me.
20:08Ralphie, I can't.
20:10My uncle would like nothing better than to have an excuse
20:13for a real big argument with me
20:15so I'd get angry and get out of the house.
20:17But I won't do that because it's mine
20:19and it belonged to my parents.
20:22Ralph?
20:24Ralph?
20:26I don't want to be seen in here.
20:28All right, all right.
20:30Who's there?
20:32Honey, it's me. It's Faye.
20:34Uh, just a minute.
20:36Get in here. Hide in the car.
20:39I'll get rid of her.
20:43Just a minute.
20:47Hi, stranger.
20:49What do you want?
20:51Where have you been, honey?
20:53I just came looking for you.
20:55Well, don't. Don't come looking for me.
20:57Honey, you're hurting my arm.
20:59So is that a fact?
21:01Well, I'm just trying to impress things on you, that's all.
21:03Oh, Ralphie, I just wanted to see you.
21:07Oh, honey, you used to be so nice, baby.
21:11It bugs me when people come around my place
21:14trying to surprise me.
21:16You used to ask me to come down all the time.
21:19Well, things are different now.
21:21When I want you to come back, I'll give you an invitation.
21:24Now, don't do that again, huh?
21:26All right, now beat it.
21:32Ralphie?
21:34Go on, blow.
21:46Okay, you can come out now.
21:50I was afraid she'd want to see me.
21:54Yeah.
21:57Honey, don't be mad, please.
21:59It's just that...
22:04Can't we meet under the pier again tomorrow, please?
22:10Okay, sure, under the pier.
22:16Okay.
22:26Katie, baby.
22:28Hmm?
22:30I don't like it like this, hiding all the time
22:32from snoopers, from your uncle.
22:34Ralph, please.
22:36No, I've been thinking.
22:38I've been thinking how we could be together
22:40all the time, any place.
22:42Do what we want to do when we want to do it.
22:46It takes a lot of lube for a thing like that.
22:48You got to grab a boat to Europe,
22:50drive along the Riviera,
22:52get those Italian silk suits.
22:55We could do it, ain't he?
22:58I mean, your uncle.
23:01You're the only one he's got.
23:03Only one he can leave it to, got to leave it to.
23:06Uncle Phil.
23:08He goes, you get it all.
23:10If he goes...
23:12We make it so it looks like an accident.
23:16Nobody ever knows I ever knew you before.
23:18Nobody's ever seen us together.
23:20We meet after he's dead.
23:22You're joking.
23:24We can do it, baby.
23:26You and me, we can swing fine.
23:29Murder?
23:31Baby, that's just a word.
23:33You got any idea how many guys commit a murder
23:35walking around loose? A lot of guys.
23:37Besides, you hate his guts. I know you do.
23:39This way with him gone, we're out in the clear
23:41all alone, together.
23:43Not murder, not killing.
23:45Murder it.
23:50No, Ralph.
23:52Not murder.
23:54You're not listening to me.
23:56You're not listening to me.
23:59I said we work it so it looks like an accident.
24:04It's the only way, baby.
24:07It's the only way for you and me.
24:11Now, we do this or I'm gonna cut out.
24:13No, Ralphie.
24:15All right, then you're swinging with me?
24:22You're swinging with me?
24:27That's a good girl.
24:31We got a lot of plans to make, so
24:33I'll go first so nobody spots us together.
24:43All right.
24:46All right.
25:12Oh, that's deep.
25:14Anything goes down there, it's goodbye Charlie.
25:17Any little car could come over that hill
25:19going too fast and skid and over he'd go.
25:22I ought to put guardrails up here.
25:24Oh, Ralphie, I'm scared.
25:26Yeah, I know, baby, I know.
25:28So am I, but we got to do this.
25:30Now, listen.
25:32It's got to look like an accident, right?
25:34Yeah, I guess.
25:36Now, you say he goes to visit that woman friend of his every night,
25:39and to get there, he's got to go over this Altamaro Ridge, right?
25:42Okay.
25:44He'll come right over that hill there.
25:46And I'll be, uh...
25:48I'll be standing here.
25:50I'll motion him over to stop right here.
25:52Then I'll give him some hard luck story about, uh,
25:55about how my car is stuck.
25:57He'll know that's true because he can see my car right there,
26:00parked right there up the hill with you in it.
26:03Me?
26:05Oh, no, Ralphie, I couldn't.
26:07I'll never recognize you.
26:09No, no.
26:11I need you for this.
26:14Here comes a car, there's no sense in being seen.
26:25All right.
26:27Now, as soon as I start talking to him,
26:29you gun the motor in my heap and move up behind him.
26:31You'll come down so fast he won't even know what's happening.
26:33One little tap and over he goes.
26:35Bazoom! Accident.
26:37Terrible accident.
26:39You get all dressed up in black.
26:42What if somebody comes along?
26:44They come along and we wait.
26:46How will you know it's him?
26:48Well, you say he's in every night by 1.
26:51That means he's got to come over here between 11.30 and 12.30.
26:55When he does, we'll be waiting.
26:57He's got that big white special.
27:00I didn't know that car anywhere.
27:03He's got to come over so slow he's almost stopped.
27:09We do it tomorrow night, huh?
27:11The sooner we do it, the sooner we fly.
27:15We stay apart during the night.
27:17That way nobody sees us together.
27:20You stay at your house in case he comes home early by mistake.
27:24I'll be on the pier by the phone.
27:28I'll have him o'clock sharp.
27:30You call.
27:32I'll let the phone ring two times only, then hang up.
27:34That way I know it's you.
27:36I jump in my heap and I pick you up at the corner of 9th and Palm.
27:41Two rings, just remember.
27:44Here comes another car.
27:50See how slow it's got to go?
27:53Just like I said.
27:55Two rings.
28:07Hey, got a match?
28:11Nice new sweater, huh?
28:13What's so funny?
28:15What are you getting so excited about?
28:18I'm just looking at your sweater.
28:28What's the matter?
28:30Nothing, I was expecting a call, that's all.
28:33Ralphie and his crummy dames.
29:03Hi.
29:05Could you give me a hand?
29:07My car's stuck back there.
29:09You shouldn't be driving an old car like that.
29:11Makes it dangerous for everybody.
29:13Well, I know, but it's all I got, see?
29:16All right, hop in. I'll get you to a service station.
29:18What? No, no.
29:20I mean, couldn't you give me a push?
29:23Push? You can roll it on that hill.
29:25Well, something's frozen.
29:27See, it won't roll.
29:29Look, I offered to give you a lift.
29:31What more do you want? I'm on my way home.
29:33Yeah, I know.
29:35I'll tell the first cop.
29:45You just sat there.
29:49Ralph!
29:51You just sat there!
29:53Maybe you're a...
29:55But you can never do that again.
29:57Maybe you're the one that ought to go over.
29:59Maybe you're the one that ought to go rolling down.
30:30Ralphie.
30:32I just froze.
30:34My hands wouldn't move.
30:36I wanted to do what you said, but I couldn't.
30:40You just sat there.
30:42I tried. I tried, but I couldn't.
30:45Now he's home free.
30:47Maybe thinking about what happened and getting ideas.
30:50You mean he knew? He knows?
30:53Maybe.
30:55Ralphie, he didn't see me.
30:57Ralphie, he didn't see me, did he?
31:00Did he? If he saw me...
31:03What I'm worried about is if he thought there was anything funny.
31:16Ralphie.
31:18It's all right. He was up when I got home.
31:21And he didn't say anything, nothing at all.
31:27What?
31:30Are we going to forget it?
31:32No.
31:34I know you don't want to do it, but we started it and we're going to finish it.
31:38Why let everything we planned get away from us?
31:41Unless, of course, you don't want us to be together.
31:46Honey.
31:53That's my baby.
31:57Now, listen.
31:59I'm going to do it tonight.
32:02The same way?
32:04No, I don't want you freezing up.
32:07I'm going to do it alone.
32:09But he's seen you already.
32:11I know. I just have to take that chance.
32:13If he doesn't know what's going on, he probably won't be too suspicious.
32:18What do you want me to do?
32:20Nothing. Just stay home.
32:23I'm going to get him when he goes over the...
32:26When he goes over the hill this time.
32:29I'll go up there about 8.30 and wait for him.
32:33And when he comes, I'm not going to ask any questions.
32:37Then what are you going to do?
32:40I don't know.
32:43I'll just have to play it by ear.
32:47Alfie.
32:51Be careful.
32:56Be careful.
32:59Okay.
33:23Make it a double and I'm halfway home.
33:29Go ahead, Larry.
33:31Take my car. I'll use Edith's car tonight.
33:34All right, I will.
33:36I'm curious to see how that baby of yours handles over the hill.
33:40Edith.
33:42Edith.
33:44Yes?
33:46Bye, Edith.
33:48You aren't going out on a heavy date tonight, are you?
33:51No, I have some letters to write.
33:54Larry's car wouldn't start when we came out of the restaurant,
33:57so he's taking my white job to get home.
33:59I'll use yours.
34:01Are you still living across the Altamaro Ridge, Mr. Curran?
34:06I wouldn't move if they paid me.
34:08I like the wide, open spaces.
34:11Excuse me. I want to finish this letter.
34:14I can mail it tonight.
34:19I've got to stop them.
34:24I've got to stop them.
34:46Hello?
34:55Hello, Rochester Company.
34:57Hello? You want a cab?
35:02Come on in to Ladson Ridge.
35:04You'll get a seat in the Penny Arcade.
35:06Step in, sir, and see the show.
35:24I had to find you to stop you.
35:26Go inside, quick.
35:28Listen.
35:30If anybody heard you call my name...
35:33I had to stop you because someone else
35:36will be in my uncle's car tonight, not him.
35:39A friend of his borrowed his car,
35:41and he goes up over the Altamaro Ridge, too.
35:44You might have killed someone else by mistake.
35:47Oh, boy.
35:49I'm sorry.
35:51I killed someone else by mistake.
35:53Oh, boy.
35:55I was worried because it was getting late.
35:57I got hung up.
35:59What do we do now?
36:01Nothing.
36:03We wait until tomorrow.
36:05This time, we do it with no slip-ups.
36:07Now, look, I'll be by the phone,
36:09and you give me two rings when he leaves the house,
36:11and it's okay.
36:13You've got to be sure this time, Ralphie.
36:15Either yes or no, I can't take much more of this.
36:18Be sure, just do what I tell you.
36:20When he leaves the house,
36:22you let it ring two times, then hang up.
36:26Two rings.
36:30Where is that lighter and wallet?
36:33I never can find anything in this house.
36:36Never.
36:51Must have been a wrong number.
36:54I'll see you around.
36:56Soon, Ralphie.
37:08Is this a game?
37:10You're the same kid that was stuck last week.
37:12I don't know what you're talking about.
37:14I don't know what you're talking about.
37:16I don't know what you're talking about.
37:18Is this a game?
37:20You're the same kid that was stuck last week.
37:22That's right, mister. I am.
37:48Come on.
38:18Who's there?
38:48What are you doing here? Are you crazy?
38:50I just had to find out what happened.
38:52I couldn't stay at home anymore.
38:54Well, baby, we never had it so good.
38:56Don?
38:58Do I take no for an answer?
39:00Bazoom! He went over.
39:02Terrible, terrible accident. Anybody can see that.
39:04That's a very tricky hill up there.
39:06Like I said before, they ought to put up guardrails, right?
39:12No, we'd better not take any chances.
39:14You go on home.
39:16Anything you say.
39:18Now, you stay there till they notify you about the accident,
39:20the terrible accident.
39:22And you go on a big act, see?
39:24He was your Uncle Phil. You loved him.
39:26You just loved your Uncle Phil.
39:28He was the only relative you had, got it?
39:30And you watch yourself pretty close,
39:32about a week, at least a week.
39:34Play real cool, and I'll get in touch with you,
39:36and we'll make some plans.
39:38Maybe even get married. Who knows?
39:40Kiss me.
39:46Oh, baby,
39:48I love the smell of that perfume you wear.
39:50Now, you...
39:52You better get out of here.
39:54Come on, come on, come on.
39:58Now, remember,
40:00we're gonna cool it for about a week.
40:02Come on, baby, I'm only human.
40:12Don't let anybody see you.
40:14I'm gonna miss you this week, baby.
40:44Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
40:46Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
40:48Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
40:50Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
40:52Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
40:54Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
40:56Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
40:58Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
41:00What is it?
41:02Open it up. Police.
41:08I'm gonna beat it. Cut the kitten.
41:10You cut the staller and open up this door.
41:12Come down.
41:16Now, wait a minute.
41:18Wait a minute.
41:28You Teal? Ralph Teal?
41:30That's right.
41:36What's the big idea?
41:38Would you get dressed and come with us, please?
41:40Now, wait a minute. I'm not gonna...
41:42Put him on, please.
41:44Wait a minute. You got no right...
41:46We got some questions we'd like to ask.
41:48Yeah? Like about what?
41:50Like about a murder, maybe.
41:54But I didn't even know him. Why should I kill him?
41:56Meanwhile, you tell us some things first.
41:58There's nothing to tell you. Nothing.
42:00You guys are just trying to frame me
42:02because some guy went over a cliff in his car.
42:04With no skid marks.
42:06If you kill me for that, you're gonna gas me
42:08because you can't find skid marks?
42:10But your tires and shoes had that black Altamora rock all over them.
42:12Well, so what? There's lots of that rock around.
42:14Lots of it. Why pick on me? Why me?
42:16You work alone or was there somebody else?
42:18No, I didn't work with anybody.
42:20You might as well tell us the truth, Teal.
42:22We know more than you think.
42:24Look, tell me again. Where were you last night?
42:26Look, I told you a hundred times.
42:28I was at home, but nobody saw me.
42:30I was reading a soft-cover book, a very sexy book.
42:32You can find it if you look for it.
42:34I'll bet.
42:36Let's cut through this.
42:38Right.
42:40Look, Teal, you're a congenital liar, boy,
42:42and we both know it.
42:44So let's establish that right off, eh?
42:46For instance, we found out
42:48you knew very well who Phillip Landers was.
42:50That's right.
42:52We've been questioning someone who knows it a lot more
42:54than you've been telling us, son.
42:58You know this girl?
43:00No, I don't know her.
43:02Why should I know her?
43:04She look like somebody I'd know?
43:06You're lying, Teal. You know who she is, all right.
43:08No, I don't know who she is.
43:10Miss Landers?
43:14Would you have him stand up, please?
43:16Stand up?
43:18You heard the lady.
43:28Would you have him turn around, please?
43:32Yes.
43:34That is the man who stopped me on the beach
43:36about five days ago.
43:38As I told you,
43:40he tried to bother me.
43:44Told me what a big shot he was on the pier.
43:46I ran away from him.
43:48When I got home,
43:50I looked out of the window
43:52and saw that he'd followed me.
43:54He fisted you?
43:56Yes.
43:58He said,
44:00I'm sorry.
44:02He fits the description you gave us, all right.
44:04Yes, he's the one.
44:06And he's the same one
44:08who stopped my uncle and me
44:10on the Altamaro Ridge the night before last.
44:12What?
44:14He told us he was out of gasoline,
44:16but I was afraid of him,
44:18especially when I started
44:20admiring our car
44:22and saying how rich we must be.
44:26It gave me the shivers.
44:28She's trying to make it look like...
44:30If you don't shut up...
44:32We planned it together, both of us.
44:34Ah, she agreed, she agreed.
44:36We saw each other all the time.
44:38We saw a lot of each other. You can check on it.
44:40Yeah?
44:42Wait a minute.
44:44I made sure we were never seen together.
44:48Or did she make sure?
44:52Look.
44:54Look, she fell for me.
44:56She gave me a lighter with my initials on it.
44:58You can check at the store.
45:00No, she...
45:02She didn't put initials on it. I put the initials on myself.
45:04Slanders? This your uncle's wallet?
45:06I mean the one he had on him last night.
45:08Yes.
45:10Well, Teal, what kind of a story
45:12are you gonna make up about this?
45:14We found it in your jacket this morning.
45:16I never took it.
45:18I never took it. It was her.
45:20She planted it on me.
45:22Last night, that's it.
45:24She planted it in my place, that's it.
45:26You set it all up from the very beginning, didn't you?
45:28So that I'd do it for you.
45:30Me alone.
45:32You worked it
45:34so we'd never be seen together.
45:36It was you.
45:38You worked in me all the time
45:40and I thought that I was working you.
45:42You just used me!
45:44You used me!
45:46It was her! Can't you see it was her?
45:48Can't you see?
45:50She came to my place.
45:52She's the one that did it. Can't you see it?
45:54Can't you see it was her?
45:56Can't you see?
46:00I'm terribly sorry about this, Miss Landers.
46:02You can go now.
46:04We'll call you if we need you again.
47:12Hey, Faye.
47:14I got a new flash about your boyfriend.
47:16Right from my buddy at headquarters.
47:18Is that so?
47:22He's being held on a murder charge.
47:24Murder?
47:26Murder.
47:28Who would ever think Ralphie would do a thing like that?
47:30Not Ralphie.
47:32Not Ralphie. He wouldn't.
47:46It's your glove, ain't it?
47:48I've seen you before.
47:50You're the one, ain't you?
47:52You're the one that Ralphie ditched me for.
47:54No.
47:56Yeah, it's her glove. I found it in Ralphie's shack.
47:58I found it there.
48:02You were very clever, Miss Landers.
48:06There was absolutely nothing to connect you with Ralphie.
48:08Except one thing.
48:10And it bothered me.
48:12Why, if you never even knew him,
48:16why did his shirt smell so strongly
48:18of that wonderful, expensive perfume?
48:48I don't know.
49:18I don't know.
49:48I don't know.
