00:03:11If he jumped from here, it would land him just about where he fell.

00:03:15Well, why do you say jumped?

00:03:17Because I'm an inspector and I can say anything I want to.

00:03:27I only...

00:03:28Oh, I know.

00:03:29I've warned you against thinking.

00:03:32You think I'm so dumb I haven't considered the possibilities of a murder.

00:03:36But I have, Wilford. That's why I'm having so much fun.

00:03:48Who's the young lady?

00:03:54If I take her word for it, she was Harker's secretary.

00:03:59Must be pleasant having such a secretary living on the premises.

00:04:05I wonder if I could have been wrong about you all this time.

00:04:29Do you know any reason why Mr. Harker would commit suicide, Miss Perry?

00:04:33No, I can't imagine him doing it.

00:04:35Now, now, I would...

00:04:37Wilford, why don't you go in with the doc? He might need you.

00:04:41Me?

00:04:42Oh, oh, yes. Yes, sir.

00:04:59How long have you been working for Mr. Harker?

00:05:01Only three weeks.

00:05:04Not long enough to know much about his affairs, eh?

00:05:07No.

00:05:13Did he always have his secretaries live on the premises?

00:05:19I believe so.

00:05:22Anyone else live here?

00:05:25Anyone else live here?

00:05:27Any servants or housekeepers?

00:05:31You mean chaperones?

00:05:35There's only one maid, Augusta.

00:05:38She's a little bit dumb, but very respectable, I assure you.

00:05:41Would you like to meet her?

00:05:43Just a minute.

00:05:55Thanks.

00:06:01Where is your bedroom?

00:06:03In there.

00:06:12What time did you go to bed?

00:06:14About 9.30.

00:06:16I went to my room earlier than that to read.

00:06:18I'll help you.

00:06:20About 9.30.

00:06:22I went to my room earlier than that to read.

00:06:24I heard Mr. Harker go out about 9 o'clock.

00:06:27But I didn't hear him come in.

00:06:29Do you sleep soundly?

00:06:31I suppose so.

00:06:33And you heard nothing?

00:06:35No disturbance until the shrieking?

00:06:38Not a sound.

00:06:42All right. Let's see the maid.

00:06:45This way.

00:06:51Oh!

00:06:54Listen.

00:06:56Oh!

00:06:57That's in her room.

00:06:59Oh!

00:07:05Oh!

00:07:10Oh!

00:07:14Ah!

00:07:16Augusta, are you all right?

00:07:18Yes. No.

00:07:20I am not.

00:07:21There's a man in my room.

00:07:23Where?

00:07:24Him.

00:07:25Oh, he's a police inspector.

00:07:27Mr. Harker's had an accident.

00:07:29No.

00:07:30Was anybody hurt?

00:07:33He's dead.

00:07:34He fell from the roof garden.

00:07:36Mr. Harker?

00:07:37Oh, the poor man.

00:07:39What was he doing hanging over the roof garden?

00:07:42That's what we want to know.

00:07:44Were you here all evening?

00:07:46Yes, I was.

00:07:47I was.

00:07:48I meant to go out, but I was reading such an exciting mystery

00:07:52all about a green face that floats up to windows.

00:07:58Can you imagine that?

00:08:01I don't know how respectable she is, but you were right about the dumb part.

00:08:06Outside of green faces, did you see or hear anything?

00:08:10Oh, that's funny.

00:08:12I did.

00:08:13At least I think I did.

00:08:16I was asleep when I heard it, but I was dreaming such an exciting dream.

00:08:22I wouldn't let myself wake up for fear of missing the finish.

00:08:27You could have stayed for the second show.

00:08:30What?

00:08:31Nothing.

00:08:32Let it go.

00:08:33Well, as I was saying, I heard the noise,

00:08:37but I don't know whether it was a real noise or just a noise in the dream.

00:08:42You see, I can hear dreams as well as see them.

00:08:48Where's Wilfred?

00:08:50Wilfred?

00:08:51Yeah, my secretary.

00:08:53I want him to meet Augusta.

00:08:54They have so much in common.

00:08:57What was the noise you may not have heard?

00:09:00It was a sort of hiss.

00:09:05Like that.

00:09:07That settles it.

00:09:08You've got to meet Wilfred.

00:09:11Gee, you're not at all like Philo Vance.

00:09:15Oh, that's all right.

00:09:16You're so much like the maids in the mystery novel that I'm almost convinced that Harker was murdered.

00:09:22Murdered?

00:09:27If you're through with me for the moment, I'd like to go get dressed.

00:09:30Sure, go ahead.

00:09:31But don't leave the apartment.

00:09:36Pleasant dreams.

00:09:41Good night.

00:10:12Hello. Inspector Russell speaking.

00:10:20Who lives in the penthouse across the hall?

00:10:23It's vacant, sir.

00:10:25Oh.

00:10:26Who lives in the apartment directly under this?

00:10:29Mr. and Mrs. Tom Covey.

00:10:31Well, give them a ring and find out if they heard any disturbance up here tonight.

00:10:35And call me back.

00:10:37Yes, sir.

00:11:12Hello, Jim.

00:11:15Say, listen, Jim, I...

00:11:17Uh, yeah.

00:11:19No, no, I...

00:11:41Hi, Phil.

00:11:48Oh, Eddie.

00:11:49Hello, Ted.

00:11:50What's the latest?

00:11:51Oh, nothing much.

00:11:52Gang's still waiting upstairs.

00:11:54Why don't you go up?

00:11:55I'm stuck down here with Chief Gomez.

00:11:57Oh.

00:11:59Say, Eddie, you, uh...

00:12:01You wouldn't like to make a fin, would you?

00:12:03A fin?

00:12:06Is this another one of your jokes?

00:12:08No, on the level.

00:12:09The guys upstairs bet me a ten spot that there was no eagle on a lieutenant's badge.

00:12:14Do I, uh, collect?

00:12:18According to my tag, you do.

00:12:20Oh, wait till they see that.

00:12:22I'll give you five bucks for helping me win it.

00:12:26Too easy.

00:12:27I'll say it is.

00:12:35I beg your pardon, gentlemen.

00:12:38Wait a minute.

00:12:40Who do you think you are?

00:12:42You must be a new man.

00:12:43Old enough to know a wise guy like you.

00:12:48Sorry, lieutenant.

00:12:49Go right in.

00:12:50Don't make that mistake again, my good man.

00:12:52No, sir.

00:12:53Hey, what's the...

00:12:54No, no, no.

00:13:09How is it?

00:13:11Smells all right.

00:13:13How'd you get in here?

00:13:15Power of the press.

00:13:18Well, suppose you just press right out again.

00:13:22I thought you might need my help.

00:13:24Not while I have Wilfred.

00:13:27Beat it.

00:13:28All right.

00:13:29You will be sorry.

00:13:39Well?

00:13:40No marks of violence.

00:13:42But it looked like he clutched at something as he went down.

00:13:45Three of his nails were broken off.

00:13:48Three of his nails, eh?

00:13:52I wonder how that happened.

00:13:55Did you find any evidence of suicide?

00:13:57Any notes?

00:13:58Nope.

00:13:59Murder?

00:14:00Nope.

00:14:01Nobody heard a sound.

00:14:02That's all I found.

00:14:04Nope.

00:14:05Murder?

00:14:06Nope.

00:14:07Nobody heard a sound.

00:14:08Then it must have been an accident.

00:14:11Yes, I guess it was.

00:14:19Central 5-800.

00:14:22Morning News.

00:14:24City Editor, please.

00:14:27Mr. Perkins.

00:14:28Pat Morgan.

00:14:30I don't know enough yet, but...

00:14:32Here.

00:14:33You can give it a spread, one of those question things.

00:14:35Was Harker murdered?

00:14:38All right, give me your rewrite, man.

00:14:43Hello.

00:14:44Pat Morgan on the Harker case.

00:14:46Who?

00:14:47Stop asking questions and take this down, or they get stopped any minute.

00:14:50Okay, go on.

00:14:52You can give it a heading of questions.

00:14:54Was Harker philanthropist or crook?

00:14:58Who was the mysterious B, B-double-E,

00:15:01who telephoned Harker's apartment two hours before his death and said,

00:15:05I've got to see you.

00:15:08Why was Martini, big underworld boss,

00:15:12a frequent and secret visitor at Harker's apartment?

00:15:16Got it.

00:15:17Go on.

00:15:18What was the meaning of the serpent card

00:15:20sent to Harker twelve hours before his death?

00:15:23I have it, but I'm afraid I can't get it to you tonight.

00:15:26Describe it.

00:15:28Picture of coiled serpent in corner of card.

00:15:31Phonetic spelling of hiss coming from its mouth.

00:15:35Letters clipped from newspaper and pasted on card read,

00:15:39You will hear it.

00:15:42Another question.

00:15:43Was the hissing sound the maid heard,

00:15:46the materialization of the threat of the card?

00:15:49And last,

00:15:50was Harker's death accident, suicide, or murder?

00:15:56That all?

00:15:57Okay.

00:15:58Thanks.

00:16:26I thought I told you to get out of here.

00:16:31I'm going.

00:16:43Hey.

00:16:44Hey, get a load of this, will you?

00:16:57Why didn't you send in the dope on that Harker death?

00:17:01But I did, Mr. Perkins.

00:17:02I gave it to a rewrite man.

00:17:04You gave it to the Express.

00:17:06I plant you in a spot three weeks before a murder happens,

00:17:09and when it breaks,

00:17:11we're carrying a spread of the European death situation.

00:17:17You're fired.

00:17:19You're fired.

00:17:21You're fired.

00:17:31Hello.

00:17:32Close out Pat Morgan.

00:17:52I found it under the rug, ma'am.

00:18:12Oh, so that's what it was.

00:18:16Oh, what a dirty trick.

00:18:18Oh, what a dirty trick.

00:18:21I'll slash his throat.

00:18:24What a low double-crosser.

00:18:29I'll get even with him if it takes my last brain cell.

00:18:32And he knew it.

00:18:33It cost me my job.

00:18:34I'll get even with him.

00:18:35And how I'll get even.

00:18:36I'll kill him.

00:18:37I'll kill him.

00:18:38Is it somebody you don't like, ma'am?

00:18:49Help.

00:18:50Help.

00:18:51Help.

00:18:52Help.

00:18:58Lottie!

00:18:59Help.

00:19:00Help.

00:19:02Lottie, Lottie.

00:19:04Help.

00:19:05What's her name?

00:19:06What's her name?

00:19:07There's a lady there.

00:19:09Who?

00:19:10Miss Copperton.

00:19:11Miss Copperton's hanged blackly now, I hear.

00:19:13I'll see you at the office.

00:19:32Was she strangled?

00:19:37Looks like it.

00:19:40You want to see something interesting, come here.

00:19:43Does that suggest anything to you?

00:19:55Harker could have fallen from here instead of from the roof garden, couldn't he?

00:19:57He not only could, but we believe that he did.

00:20:01That broken pole suggests that someone clutched at the curtain in an effort to save himself.

00:20:05Now, Harker's nails were badly broken.

00:20:08And there are deep scratches in the paneling there.

00:20:18And now we'll talk about you.

00:20:20You don't mind, do you?

00:20:23Of course not.

00:20:24What do you want to know?

00:20:27Do you know a reporter by the name of Ted Rand?

00:20:32Yes.

00:20:33Now I can see that you don't.

00:20:36Well he got a lot of first-hand information in his paper this morning, and I can't figure

00:20:41out where he got it, unless it was from you.

00:20:48May I see it?

00:20:55Well, did he get it from you?

00:21:03All right, now let's have a little talk.

00:21:11And then I'll decide whether or not I'm going to lock you up for withholding information

00:21:15from the police.

00:21:16Yeah, Wilford is on his way down now with a picture of Colby.

00:21:28He's been missing since last night.

00:21:31Broadcast a description of him, and tell Brown I want all the hotels checked, the steamboats,

00:21:36the railroad stations.

00:21:37Send out a general alarm.

00:21:38And when you get him, book him for murder.

00:21:42All right.

00:21:55All right, what's your name?

00:21:58Morgan.

00:21:59Pat Morgan.

00:22:01I'm a reporter on the morning news.

00:22:03That is, I was a reporter on the morning news until Ted Rand pinched my story last night.

00:22:09What did they do, fire you?

00:22:13Oh.

00:22:16What was the idea of posing as Harker's secretary?

00:22:19What are you after?

00:22:20Harker.

00:22:21My editor got wind of some connection between Harker and Joe Martini.

00:22:27He couldn't figure what the town's favorite saint was doing in business with a racketeer.

00:22:32Were they in business?

00:22:33I don't know.

00:22:35I know Martini was up here several times, always late at night, and always when Harker

00:22:40thought I was asleep.

00:22:42But as far as getting anything definite on him, I didn't have any luck.

00:22:47Well, how about the Colby woman?

00:22:49Her name was Bea, by the way.

00:22:51It was?

00:22:53Well, that looks like...

00:22:57It's the world's oldest story.

00:22:58That's why we're after the husband.

00:23:00But what I want to know is about that last phone call of hers.

00:23:04How did you know about it?

00:23:06I listened in on the extension.

00:23:09Oh.

00:23:10What did you hear?

00:23:12A woman's voice.

00:23:14And she said, this is Bea.

00:23:16I've got to see you.

00:23:18And Harker said, all right, and hung up.

00:23:22Talkative cuss, wasn't he?

00:23:26Has Martini got an apartment here?

00:23:32804.

00:23:45How did you get a hold of the serpent card?

00:23:48Do you think there's anything in it?

00:23:51I'm asking the questions.

00:23:54How did you get hold of it?

00:23:56I snitched it out of his pocket.

00:23:59He's been kind of busy, hasn't he?

00:24:03Did you see him when he got it?

00:24:06How did he act?

00:24:07Scared?

00:24:08Puzzled.

00:24:09He tossed it in the wastebasket and then fished it out.

00:24:13Stunned it for a few minutes and put it in his pocket.

00:24:17Where is it now?

00:24:20Where is the card now?

00:24:22I'll get it.

00:24:41Did you find another one?

00:24:42Yes.

00:24:43Where?

00:24:44In Mrs. Colby's apartment?

00:24:46In the wastebasket.

00:24:50What does it mean?

00:24:52Oh, it's either a threat or some fake advertisement.

00:24:55I'm checking now to see if anyone else in the house got one.

00:24:59Well, is there anything else you want to tell me?

00:25:03No, but maybe if I stayed on for a few more days

00:25:06and went through his papers, I might run across something.

00:25:09And as his secretary, I should help settle his affairs.

00:25:13Don't you think it's a good idea?

00:25:15I think it's a good penthouse.

00:25:17You know, I ought to lock you up.

00:25:20If I had this information last night about the Colby woman and her husband,

00:25:23we'd have Colby now.

00:25:25But what's the use of expecting a reporter to tell a cop anything?

00:25:28But I'm not a reporter anymore.

00:25:30And I might run across something.

00:25:32Don't you think it's a good idea?

00:25:34I think you're trying to flirt with me.

00:25:36If I didn't have four kids

00:25:38and a wife that can lick her weight in Wildcats,

00:25:40I might like it better.

00:25:44Go on. Stay here.

00:25:46But don't get the idea that you're smarter than the police.

00:25:50I'll tell you anything that you find.

00:25:54Hello?

00:25:55I think we have Colby for you.

00:25:57What do you mean, think? Won't he admit it?

00:25:59He isn't admitting anything. He's down at the morgue on a slab.

00:26:02What?

00:26:03I'll be right down.

00:26:05What is it? Where are you going? Have you found Colby?

00:26:08Oh, let me go with you.

00:26:10But...

00:26:12But I'm not a reporter anymore,

00:26:14and you can tell me everything in perfect confidence.

00:26:16All right, all right.

00:26:20Mark!

00:26:22Hey! Hey, Pat!

00:26:26Hey, follow that car, will you?

00:26:30Hurry up!

00:26:37Well, I made it.

00:26:40Well, I made it.

00:26:53Hey! Hey!

00:26:56Whoo-hoo!

00:27:09Well, I...

00:27:16Uh-oh.

00:27:20What you all got me down here for?

00:27:22I ain't going in that van.

00:27:25I ain't going in that place.

00:27:27Oh, yes, you are.

00:27:28Oh, yes, I ain't. Can't get me in that place.

00:27:30I done seen one dead body today, and that's enough.

00:27:33It's too much, yes, sir.

00:27:35Well, I want you to look at my hand.

00:27:37Days?

00:27:38Yes.

00:27:39Nothing doing.

00:27:42Uh, who is the man?

00:27:44Colby.

00:27:45Mr. Colby Days?

00:27:47Well, I didn't like that man alive.

00:27:49So what makes you think I'm gonna like him days?

00:27:52Why didn't you like him alive?

00:27:55And it's a sure thing you ain't doing no talking now.

00:27:58All he did was sit around and look at the walls, staring.

00:28:01That's what.

00:28:04And it ain't good when a man don't talk.

00:28:06Well, it won't be good for you if you don't get out of that car now.

00:28:08It ain't gonna be good for me if I does, so I'm staying.

00:28:11You want me to lock you up?

00:28:13Where?

00:28:14In the city jail.

00:28:16They's alive in jail, ain't they?

00:28:18All right, sir, lock me up with the living.

00:28:25What's the trouble?

00:28:27She won't budge.

00:28:29I ain't anxious to start no trouble, sir.

00:28:31But I just naturally don't like dead people.

00:28:36You the janitor?

00:28:38Yes, sir.

00:28:39You knew Colby by sight, didn't you?

00:28:41Oh, yes, sir.

00:28:42All right, that's enough identification.

00:28:44You can go.

00:28:45That-a-way?

00:28:46Right.

00:28:47Yes, sir.

00:28:48Here you go.

00:28:49Okay.

00:28:55Hey.

00:28:57Eddie, open up, will you?

00:28:58You're not going to get away.

00:29:00Eddie.

00:29:01Eddie.

00:29:02Eddie.

00:29:03Eddie.

00:29:04Eddie.

00:29:05Eddie.

00:29:06Eddie, open up.

00:29:07Eddie.

00:29:08Eddie.

00:29:09Eddie.

00:29:10Eddie.

00:29:11Eddie.

00:29:12Eddie.

00:29:13Eddie.

00:29:14Eddie.

00:29:15Eddie.

00:29:16Eddie.

00:29:17Hey, listen. Stick around here a minute, will you? I may be going right back.

00:29:31Hello, Annie.

00:29:32Hello.

00:29:33How's the boy?

00:29:34Hiya, Sam.

00:29:36What detained you?

00:29:38I, uh, had some business to attend to.

00:29:43What you mean is you wasted an hour hanging around the police station.

00:29:47You'd picked me up. I told you they were headed for the morgue.

00:29:50Is it the depressing atmosphere of this place, or do I imagine that you're angry with me?

00:29:55I? Angry with you?

00:29:58What have I to be angry with you about?

00:30:00You only pinched my story and made me lose my job.

00:30:04But what does that matter?

00:30:05You lost your job?

00:30:08Yes, I lost my job. I suppose you think that's very funny.

00:30:11It's probably the funniest thing you ever heard of.

00:30:13You probably laughed yourself sick over it.

00:30:15Oh, no, darling.

00:30:16Hey, it's all right to cry in this joint, but Nick's on the love making.

00:30:21Oh, you go to the devil, will you?

00:30:24Come on, darling, let's get out of this place. If he hasn't any romance in his soul, let's go to a speakeasy.

00:30:29What's romantic about a speakeasy?

00:30:31I'm going to propose to you again, and no cracks from you.

00:30:35The only funny crack I can think of would have to come from her.

00:30:37Yeah? What's that?

00:30:39If she said yes.

00:30:41Funny man.

00:30:43You know, darling, Eddie's wife got him the job here in the morgue.

00:30:46She thought he'd take the hint and die.

00:30:49Come on, honey.

00:31:02Well, do we go straight to the marriage bureau, or do I have to do some more talking?

00:31:06You have to do plenty of talking.

00:31:07Okay, we'll go to Joe's. I'll even take you in a cab.

00:31:16375 West 58th.

00:31:31Couldn't you sit a little closer?

00:31:33Not without being arrested.

00:31:36And speaking of arrests, did you know that the Harker case was all over?

00:31:41All over?

00:31:42Yep, all washed up.

00:31:44What do you mean? What happened to the apartment?

00:31:46Plenty. Did you see Harker's maid, Augusta, last night?

00:31:50I don't think so.

00:31:52You don't think so? Well, believe me, darling, you'd remember it.

00:31:56You called me darling.

00:31:58I didn't mean to.

00:32:00Well, she's something to feast the eyes on.

00:32:03Or was.

00:32:05She was found murdered this morning.

00:32:07In Harker's apartment?

00:32:09No, the janitor's.

00:32:11Say, are you kidding me?

00:32:13I?

00:32:14Listen, I'm the one who shouldn't trust you, not you me.

00:32:17I'm sorry, darling. Go on.

00:32:20Well, they found a marriage license in the apartment.

00:32:23Whose?

00:32:24The janitor's.

00:32:26It seems she was married to the janitor, but worked for Harker.

00:32:32Oh, one of those.

00:32:35Say, look here. You worked for Harker, too.

00:32:38Only on a double cross.

00:32:40He only made a couple of passes at me.

00:32:43He made what?

00:32:44Why, I'll kill him.

00:32:45Oh, he's already dead.

00:32:47The janitor killed him.

00:32:49He killed him and his wife and then committed suicide.

00:32:54They dragged his body out of the East River this morning.

00:32:57That's what they had down at the morgue.

00:32:59The janitor's body?

00:33:01Yes, too.

00:33:02Say, listen, has any of the mob got this story yet?

00:33:05I don't think so.

00:33:07Hey, driver. Driver, drive up to that drugstore, will you?

00:33:10Do you mind if I phone it in?

00:33:11No.

00:33:12I'll only be a minute.

00:33:13All right, but hurry.

00:33:14I'll hurry.

00:33:27Driver, drive on.

00:33:29You don't want to wait?

00:33:30I don't want to wait.

00:33:45Driver, drive back to the drugstore.

00:33:48I figured you might want to go back.

00:33:50That's why I made that right turn back there.

00:33:52You know too much.

00:33:54I've been driving the cab for 10 years.

00:33:56I've seen about all there is to see.

00:34:01Here you are, miss.

00:34:03And there's your man.

00:34:05Man?

00:34:06Don't be vulgar.

00:34:15Where'd you go?

00:34:17Listen, Ted.

00:34:18What's the matter?

00:34:19That story I told you about the maid and the janitor.

00:34:21Well, what about it?

00:34:22It isn't the truth.

00:34:23I made it up.

00:34:24I wanted to get even for last night, so I made it up.

00:34:27There isn't a word of truth in it.

00:34:28I made it up.

00:34:29There isn't a word of truth in it.

00:34:30Holy smokes.

00:34:38Haven't you got a nickel?

00:34:40No.

00:34:42I didn't.

00:34:43I didn't know you'd mind so much.

00:34:44Mind?

00:34:45I phoned that story into your paper.

00:34:47My paper?

00:34:48Yeah.

00:34:49I wanted to make up for last night.

00:34:50Haven't you got a nickel?

00:34:51No.

00:34:52I told your editor what happened last night,

00:34:54and I held his scoop up, if he'd give you your job back.

00:34:56He said yes, so I gave him the story.

00:34:58Haven't you got a nickel?

00:35:00No.

00:35:07Terry.

00:35:08What?

00:35:09Come in here.

00:35:10I found something just like in a mystery.

00:35:12Come on.

00:35:13Come on.

00:35:17What are you doing?

00:35:18Oh, Mr. Harker's lawyer said I was to pack up Mr. Harker's things

00:35:21and clear out the apartment.

00:35:23But look at those drawers.

00:35:25Mr. Harker's or the wooden ones?

00:35:28Oh, Terry, aren't you the one?

00:35:30The wooden ones.

00:35:32Do you see any difference in them?

00:35:37Did they come out of the same chest?

00:35:38They did.

00:35:39And so I investigated.

00:35:41And look what I found.

00:35:45I pressed and pressed all around here.

00:35:49And finally, sure enough, there it was.

00:35:52A little place behind there.

00:35:58Empty.

00:35:59But it wasn't.

00:36:00There was a letter there, and it reads like a threat.

00:36:23And he signed himself the juice.

00:36:27What?

00:36:28Oh, that means the electric chair.

00:36:44Central, 5800.

00:36:47Morning news.

00:36:48Give me the 5800.

00:36:51Morning news.

00:36:52Give me the files, please.

00:37:00Hello?

00:37:01Hello, Willie?

00:37:02This is Pat Morgan.

00:37:04Would you do me a favor?

00:37:06Why, yes.

00:37:07Look in the files and see when and where a man by the name of Denny Fagan was executed.

00:37:13That's all I have is the name.

00:37:15What?

00:37:16The chair, yes.

00:37:18Call me back at Drake 6048.

00:37:21Thanks.

00:37:22And, Willie, see if it says anything about his relatives, particularly a brother,

00:37:28or anyone who visited him on the day of his execution.

00:37:33That's right.

00:37:34Thanks.

00:37:41Augusta, will you make yourself scarce?

00:37:44Scarce?

00:37:46Scarce.

00:37:47In other words, scram.

00:37:49What are you going to do, ma'am?

00:37:51If I wanted you to know, do you think I'd ask you to leave the room?

00:37:54Oh, I never thought of that.

00:38:03Will you send the janitor up here right away, please?

00:38:06Thanks.

00:38:13Mr. Martini's apartment, please.

00:38:17Okay.

00:38:31Now, Mr. Martini doesn't answer.

00:38:48Janitor, miss.

00:38:50Yes, come in.

00:38:54What's your name?

00:38:56Peterson.

00:38:58Uh, well, look, do you have a passkey to Wally's apartment?

00:39:03Yes, ma'am.

00:39:05For $10, would you let me in an apartment for five minutes

00:39:10while you send the janitor up here?

00:39:13Yes, ma'am.

00:39:14Would you let me in an apartment for five minutes

00:39:17while you stand guard outside?

00:39:20What apartment?

00:39:21Joe Martini.

00:39:23Oh, I couldn't think of it, miss.

00:39:26Not for $20.

00:39:29Not even if it helped solve the mystery of Mr. Harker's death?

00:39:32Mr. Harker's death?

00:39:33Why, that's solved.

00:39:35I identified Mr. Colby's body myself.

00:39:38The police said he did it.

00:39:41Maybe.

00:39:42But I don't think so.

00:39:44Come on, nobody will find it out.

00:39:46I just phoned Martini's apartment and there was no answer.

00:39:48Now, all you've got to do is stand guard out in the hall.

00:39:50And if Martini comes out of the elevator, you whistle.

00:39:53Or, better still, you could hammer on something.

00:39:56Oh, I... I don't like it, miss.

00:39:59I'd be sure to lose my job.

00:40:01If I get caught, I'll swear I got in with a skeleton key.

00:40:04Come on.

00:40:05Well, all right, if you'll...

00:40:07If you'll keep me out of it.

00:40:09But, uh...

00:40:11I... I don't like it.

00:40:18Here you are, miss.

00:40:21Now, you stand by this radiator, and if you hear him coming, you hammer on it.

00:40:25All right, miss, but...

00:40:27I don't like it.

00:40:29It'll be all right.

00:40:41It'll be all right.

00:41:11All right.

00:41:41All right.

00:42:08Good afternoon, Mr. Martini.

00:42:10Hello.

00:42:29Miss Terry.

00:42:31Department A.

00:42:33Just a moment.

00:42:40Hello.

00:42:54Hello.

00:42:56Oh, so it's you.

00:42:58Well, I've called every speakeasy in town.

00:43:00Where are you?

00:43:01I'm at home.

00:43:03What's on your beautiful little mind?

00:43:05Little mind?

00:43:07Plenty.

00:43:09Listen, I've just found something.

00:43:12Did you ever hear of a man by the name of Denny Fagan?

00:43:18What was that? Did you drop something?

00:43:20No.

00:43:22Don't say any more.

00:43:23I'll be right up.

00:43:35Blue steel revolver.

00:43:38Black blackjack.

00:43:42Pink toothbrush.

00:43:43Well, what in the world?

00:43:45I'm sorry, miss.

00:43:46I'm sorry.

00:43:47I'm sorry.

00:43:48I'm sorry.

00:43:49I'm sorry.

00:43:50I'm sorry.

00:43:51I'm sorry.

00:43:52I'm sorry.

00:43:53Pink toothbrush.

00:43:54Well, what in the world?

00:43:55I'm spending the night.

00:43:56Here?

00:43:57Certainly.

00:43:58You know, I didn't like that sound over the telephone.

00:44:00Somebody was listening in.

00:44:02What's this about Denny Fagan?

00:44:03Do you remember the case?

00:44:04Certainly.

00:44:05He was sent to the chair for killing Julius Brinkman.

00:44:06Well, look at this.

00:44:10What?

00:44:11We found this in Harker's things.

00:44:13Hmm.

00:44:17Anything else?

00:44:18Plenty.

00:44:19Guess whose mob he was in.

00:44:21I couldn't imagine.

00:44:22Mr. Josephus Martinis.

00:44:23Yes, Mr. Josephus Martinis.

00:44:25I just got the dope on it from the office.

00:44:27There may be something in it, and then again, no.

00:44:30Listen, if Coby killed his wife, and then Harker, and the case is closed,

00:44:34who's interested enough in this apartment to listen in over the phone?

00:44:38Surely Coby wasn't listening in from the morgue.

00:44:40Let's hope not.

00:44:48Help!

00:44:49Help!

00:44:50I'm hearing sounds.

00:44:51Oh, Miss Terry, where are you?

00:44:53I'm here.

00:44:54Stop shrieking.

00:44:55It's only a fuse.

00:44:56I'll call the janitor.

00:44:58Oh, there's a man in the room.

00:45:00I just touched him.

00:45:01He's a friend of mine.

00:45:02Keep your hands off him.

00:45:03Certainly.

00:45:04Hello?

00:45:05This is Miss Terry.

00:45:06Will you send the janitor up right away?

00:45:08The lights have gone out.

00:45:11Help!

00:45:20There's the ice.

00:45:21Thanks, Augusta.

00:45:22Want a lemon?

00:45:23Yes, Augusta.

00:45:24Lemon.

00:45:28You know, come to think of it, this bacon kid was supposed to be mixed up in my...

00:45:36That got it, miss.

00:45:40Oh, uh...

00:45:42I'll see if any of the cloves are burned out.

00:45:45All right, thanks.

00:45:52Get some more ice here.

00:45:54Still looking for the lemon.

00:45:59I'll find it.

00:46:04Some people would think I'm a swell guy.

00:46:06Oh, you're great.

00:46:08Yeah?

00:46:09Well, that's your idea.

00:46:11You're only showing off for my benefit.

00:46:13I can use a gun.

00:46:15You'd probably shoot me and become a widow before you tasted the joys of being married to me.

00:46:19Good heavens, what a man.

00:46:21Certainly.

00:46:22Why don't you shut up and go to bed?

00:46:25Well, I can't very well go to bed with you hanging around here.

00:46:28I'm leaving.

00:46:29And if anything should happen, you stay in here and keep the door locked.

00:46:33Even if I hear you yelling, Pat, Pat, come save me.

00:46:36Certainly.

00:46:37Hey, oh, go to the devil, will you?

00:46:40Don't drink all the scotch.

00:46:42That's it.

00:47:07What's that?

00:47:37What's that?

00:48:07Come on, stick them up and keep them up.

00:48:37Now then, maybe you'll tell me what you're doing in here.

00:48:47Martini.

00:48:48Old dry martini himself.

00:49:09Hey, wait a minute.

00:49:10I'll go with you.

00:49:11You stay here.

00:49:12Don't be silly.

00:49:27There's a deep cut in the head, but I'm not satisfied.

00:49:30I want an autopsy.

00:49:34All right.

00:49:37All right, Martini, talk.

00:49:40Now you talk.

00:49:42What was one of your men doing in my place?

00:49:44Finding enough evidence to send you up for life.

00:49:46Yeah, did he have a search warrant?

00:49:48I wouldn't be a bit surprised.

00:49:50Weston was probably trying to serve it on you when you killed him.

00:49:53You'll have to come stronger than that.

00:49:55I wasn't even in the apartment when he died.

00:49:58How do you know when he died?

00:49:59I heard him yell.

00:50:00They heard him yell, too.

00:50:02I was with them when it happened.

00:50:04So you can't pin this on me.

00:50:06Maybe not.

00:50:07But I can pin about six gang killings on you, and that ought to be enough.

00:50:11Take him down and lock him up.

00:50:13Who?

00:50:14Me?

00:50:15No, Wilford.

00:50:16I want him locked up.

00:50:17All right, Brown.

00:50:18Take a couple of men with you.

00:50:19Yes, sir.

00:50:20Shall I iron him?

00:50:21You bet.

00:50:22And keep your eye on him every minute.

00:50:25This is going to cost you your job, Russell.

00:50:28You shouldn't threaten a police officer.

00:50:30It isn't polite.

00:50:32Get going.

00:50:38Go up to the penthouse.

00:50:39I want to have a little talk with you.

00:50:42You stay here until I come back.

00:50:49May I make a suggestion and...

00:50:51No, Wilford.

00:50:52Make it to the doctor.

00:50:53I'm tired.

00:51:03I wouldn't stay here another night for all the tea in China.

00:51:09You're smarter than somebody else I know.

00:51:21I want you to get out of here in the morning.

00:51:24You're not only in danger, you're just plain dumb.

00:51:28When you found this letter, why didn't you bring it?

00:51:31I was going to.

00:51:33You were going to.

00:51:34But first, you thought you'd be smart.

00:51:37You had to go messing around in Martini's apartment.

00:51:40He didn't see me.

00:51:41He saw you, all right.

00:51:43He thought you got the paper that my man got.

00:51:45He was here tonight to get it back.

00:51:48And in the end, he didn't see you.

00:51:51He didn't see me.

00:51:52He didn't see me.

00:51:53He didn't see me.

00:51:54He didn't see me.

00:51:56And in being here, he saved his own life.

00:51:59What makes you think that?

00:52:01Brains and a valentine.

00:52:06I can't figure out yet how the mistake was made.

00:52:09But my man got what was intended for Martini.

00:52:16We found Dini's apartment.

00:52:19And I was right.

00:52:20Colby didn't kill them.

00:52:23Maybe.

00:52:25Maybe.

00:52:36Mail.

00:52:56Good heavens, Augusta.

00:52:58You look like you're going to a funeral.

00:53:00I am, ma'am.

00:53:02Mr. Harker's.

00:53:03Oh.

00:53:04And they're burying Mr. and Mrs. Colby today, too.

00:53:07And if I hurry, maybe I can catch them both.

00:53:11Well, have fun.

00:53:13Why, Miss Terry.

00:53:15How you do say such dreadful things.

00:53:55I'm sorry.

00:54:25Who is it?

00:54:42Who is it?

00:54:49Where do you want this?

00:54:55What's the matter, miss?

00:54:56Did I startle you?

00:54:59Oh, I'm... I'm sorry.

00:55:02But you... you told me to bring up the trunks.

00:55:05Oh, I know.

00:55:07I forgot about them.

00:55:09You can put them anywhere.

00:55:10It doesn't matter.

00:55:18I wonder could you come down and pick out yours.

00:55:21I got Mr. Harker's out.

00:55:23And I don't know yours.

00:55:27All right.

00:55:31But couldn't... couldn't we go down in the elevator?

00:55:36Yes, ma'am.

00:55:53You can't get my trunk up here any too quick to suit me.

00:55:57I just got a warning that I was going to be killed.

00:56:00You, miss?

00:56:02Oh, who would want to kill you?

00:56:05I wish I knew.

00:56:19Do you live down here?

00:56:21Over there.

00:56:23Why, but it's dark.

00:56:25I'm the janitor.

00:56:28Where's the trunk room?

00:56:30This way.

00:56:32This way.

00:56:50Aren't there any lights in here?

00:56:53I'll go in and turn them on.

00:57:01All right.

00:57:31All right.

00:58:01All right.

00:58:17Why don't you answer your bell?

00:58:21I was just about to light the incinerator.

00:58:25Well, that can wait.

00:58:26These gentlemen want you to go with them now.

00:58:28We want to examine some of the apartments.

00:58:31Yes, sir.

00:59:02Start in on this one.

00:59:04Yes, sir.

00:59:11If you don't need me any longer, I'd like to get back to my work.

00:59:15All right, but leave us your passport.

00:59:17Yes, sir.

00:59:21I'm sorry, sir.

00:59:22It's all right.

00:59:23It's all right.

00:59:24It's all right.

00:59:25It's all right.

00:59:26It's all right.

00:59:27It's all right.

00:59:28It's all right.

00:59:29It's all right.

00:59:31It's all right.

00:59:37May I make a suggestion?

00:59:39No.

00:59:40But you...

00:59:41I'm busy.

00:59:42Some other time offer.

01:00:30What do you want?

01:00:53I don't know.

01:01:03Help!

01:01:06Help!

01:01:09Help!

01:01:12Help!

01:01:16Help! Help!

01:01:18Help!

01:01:20Help!

01:01:22Help! Help!

01:01:24Help! Help!

01:01:26Help! Help!

01:01:28Help!

01:01:30Help! Help!

01:01:32Help!

01:01:34Help!

01:01:36Help! Help!

01:01:38Help!

01:01:40Help! Help!

01:01:42Help!

01:01:44Help! Help!

01:01:46Help!

01:01:48He's killing him! There!

01:01:50Beth! Beth!

01:01:52Here, honey. You're all right. Here.

01:02:06He...

01:02:08He tried to get away.

01:02:14Hi.

01:02:22Hi.

01:02:24Oh, doctor, uh, how is Miss Morgan?

01:02:26Oh, she'll be all right.

01:02:28Just keep her quiet a couple of days.

01:02:30Dad!

01:02:32Try and keep her quiet.

01:02:34May I come in?

01:02:36Certainly. Hurry up.

01:02:38Has he confessed?

01:02:40Yep.

01:02:44Ah!

01:02:461-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10.

01:02:481-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10.

01:02:50Oh.

01:02:52Well, tell me about it.

01:02:54Did he kill them all?

01:02:56Yeah, with the exception of Corby.

01:02:58How?

01:03:00With gas.

01:03:02How?

01:03:04With gas. They've just held an autopsy on all the bodies.

01:03:06I know. Augusta was nearly broken-hearted

01:03:08because they called off all the funerals.

01:03:10Why did he kill them?

01:03:12Revenge. You were right, as usual.

01:03:14He was Denny Fagan's brother.

01:03:16Fagan was a cab driver, just a kid,

01:03:18and according to him, honest.

01:03:20Fagan was sharing an apartment with one of Martini's men.

01:03:22They used Fagan's cab to take Brinkman on his last ride.

01:03:24They even planted a gun on the kid.

01:03:26And he was the only one of the mob that didn't have an airtight alibi.

01:03:28Oh, gee, you look cute in that bandage.

01:03:30Please, get on with the murders.

01:03:32Well, that's all. Denny Fagan was sent to the chair.

01:03:34That's all?

01:03:36Isn't that enough?

01:03:38I'm just a young kid, too.

01:03:40You're not going to feel sad about it, are you?

01:03:42I would if his brother hadn't tried to stuff me in a furnace.

01:03:44Where did Harker come in?

01:03:46Harker engineered the Brinkman killing.

01:03:48Brinkman was in Harker's way,

01:03:50so he ordered him snuffed out.

01:03:52Martini's mob found it convenient to let Fagan take the rap.

01:03:54Do you mind if I hold your hand?

01:03:56Please, darling, hold my hand.

01:03:58But why did he kill B. Colby?

01:04:00She wasn't mixed up in it.

01:04:02No, but by killing Harker and her in her apartment,

01:04:04it drew suspicion on the husband.

01:04:06He even sent Colby a letter telling him to watch her.

01:04:08But when Colby found out what was going on,

01:04:10he didn't kill them.

01:04:12He just jumped in the river.

01:04:14Why, but you take death lightly.

01:04:16What if I'd been killed?

01:04:18Oh, baby, I'd have written you a swell obituary.

01:04:20I'll bet you would have at that.

01:04:22I'll bet you would have at that.

01:04:24I'll bet you would have at that.

01:04:26I'll bet you would have at that.

01:04:28In some speakeasy.

01:04:30Don't be silly, gal.

01:04:32You know I don't go to speakeasies.

01:04:34I got an idea.

01:04:36How about the last drink of Harker's scotch?

01:04:38I've already ordered it.

01:04:40But you might go see if Augusta's drinking it.

01:04:42All right.

01:04:52Is this...

01:04:54Patricia Morgan?

01:04:56This is she.

01:04:58Ah, this is Perkins.

01:05:00Not dear, Mr. Perkins.

01:05:02Cut that.

01:05:04Do you want to come back?

01:05:06What do you mean, how much?

01:05:08How much more.

01:05:10We'll discuss that when I see you.

01:05:12No, you won't,

01:05:14because you aren't going to see her.

01:05:16What? Who is this?

01:05:18Miss Morgan's future husband.

01:05:20Who says so?

01:05:22The woman's place is in the home.

01:05:24Hey, listen.

01:05:26What home?

01:05:28I have an apartment.

01:05:30I'll bet the rent isn't paid.

01:05:32Now don't be mercenary.

01:05:34Will you listen to me?

01:05:36I'll bet you haven't the price of a marriage license.

01:05:38I want to talk to you.

01:05:40Cut that.

01:05:42Yes, sir.

01:05:44Will you lend me three bucks?

01:05:46Why, of course, Mr. Rand.

01:05:48I'll get it right away.

01:05:50Three bucks.

01:05:52Sure.

01:05:54See here, Morgan.

01:05:56Haven't you any gratitude in your system?

01:05:58Do you realize

01:06:00what I've done for you for the last three years?

01:06:04I've kept you on the payroll

01:06:06of this paper.

01:06:08I've given you more opportunities

01:06:10than any sob sister in the business.

01:06:12Now let's get together

01:06:14on this thing, Morgan.

01:06:16There ain't any use of us acting like this.

01:06:18You know, we've always been able

01:06:20to iron out these little things.

01:06:22Morgan?

01:06:24I say, Morgan,

01:06:26why don't you answer me?
