09:21Come on clipper, let's go home. Now. You go on home Jerry you'll pay
09:30Go on beat it
09:34I'll get the guy to

09:44I'm gonna find it to you tenant
09:47It's gonna be one kill it the state isn't gonna have to spend any money on trying
09:52Chief I know how you feel, but oh, yeah
09:55Do you remember boot camp?
09:58You remember all the liberties and the dirty little ports that we couldn't even spell the names out
10:02Or maybe you were with us trying to nurse a package of cigarettes
10:06To 18 days on a stinking life raft. You know how I feel, huh?
10:11Well, if you do lieutenant, then you know, I'm gonna get the guy that did this to Doug arrest that man. Oh, no
10:17What's your charge material witness will do? Yeah, that's not good enough
10:21You're not taking me in and this guy isn't gonna stop me. He'll have help put the handcuffs on him. No
10:27I said you're not taking me in and this guy isn't gonna stop me
10:31I said you're not gonna take me and not till I even a score for Doug
10:36Come on in but somebody's gonna get hurt
10:44Clipper at least sit down so I can talk to you. Can you talk Doug back to life?
10:50No
10:52Will revenge bring him back?
10:57Pam I appreciate what you and Jerry are trying to do for me
11:01Well, at least that's something come on sit down
11:04It may take Jerry a long time to talk bill into letting you out of here. Bill's a little mad at you
11:09That's a slight understatement
11:12You must have spent your early life on a wrecking crew
11:16I'm sorry about that
11:18Well, do I get life? You know why he had to arrest you. He's willing to turn you loose if you cool down
11:24I'm practically frozen. I'm too easy going to stay riles. You know me Jerry
11:29Sure, I know you Clipper
11:33Well, let's get out of here. I still got three hours Liberty. Okay. All right, I'll release you but I'm holding you responsible
11:44But I'm still a little shaky, I think I'll go for a little walk I'll join you at your place later, huh?
11:48Yeah, I'll go along with you. I could use a little walk myself
11:51Pam you go on home and fix some coffee and stuff, huh? But Jerry I
11:57All right, I'll have it on the table
12:00Jerry I'm not alone. I'll still go with you suit yourself
12:15His friend the chief said he had one too many told me to bring him here to his wife
12:19If that's you the tab is 160. Oh
12:23sure
12:25Oh, you're keeping yeah, you're his wife. Thanks
12:38Here drink this
12:41Shall I call a doctor? No, no, I
12:46Just took one of Clippers best clips
12:49Yeah, he's down on skid row trying to find Doug's murder
12:54After he hit me with that sucker punch, I shouldn't care what happens to him, but Bill made me responsible for him
12:59I've got to stop him. Oh, well, then you better take me along to lean on hero. No
13:05Yes
13:06Once in your life, you're not big enough or strong enough to stop me
13:16You wait in the car Pam, please
13:23Thanks anyway
13:28Return my waiter Jerry. I don't want to fight with you
13:33Well, that's something
13:36Now do you come back home with us? No, not just yet. I'm too close to the killer. You're what?
13:41Yeah, it can't be too far from here. All the beatings took place within two blocks of here. Oh
13:48Great
13:49Don't you imagine bill wagon knows that too?
13:52And Clipper he didn't become a lieutenant by being stupid. He'll find a guy who killed Doug
13:58Sure, he will. I'll throw him what's left as soon as I finish
14:02Clipper hail one man police force judge jury and executioner. What's your secret? I asked questions
14:10Do you think wagon doesn't ask questions? These people hate cops. They lie to him as a matter of principle
14:15But they won't lie to me Jerry
14:18We'll see but you take it easy
14:22Or I'll let the Navy know how you feel about avenging Doug's death. They won't take any chances
14:27They'll ship you out so far and so fast. You'll have a beard down to here before you see Manhattan again, maybe
14:33But don't do it Jerry. Just don't do it
14:41Thanks
14:43Tell me a jump I want to talk to you
14:47I've witnessed a lot of amateur night investigations in my life Clipper
14:51But this one takes the prize you invited yourself Jerry. Yeah, and I'm seeing it through
14:57But when are you gonna get out of left field? You've talked to every stumbled bum on the block
15:02And what did they tell you? What can they tell you?
15:05Did you expect someone to point out the killer? You can't be that thing. I know what I'm doing
15:09He said that before but what is it?
15:13You know, it's altogether possible that I might make a helpful suggestion if I knew
15:18All right, Jerry
15:20I'm looking for a guy a guy by the name of Denver
15:23He's a pearl diver and one of these joints on this street
15:26I saw him in the lineup that wagon had for Doug and me the name stuck with me because I knew a Damon Denver
15:31once
15:32And I thought you were fouled up before now. I'm sure
15:36Look, Jerry. Do you think Doug wanted into that alley looking for a floating crap game?
15:41We got a call at headquarters. They said to come down that alley. They tip us off to who killed that sailor
15:46Well, it turned out to be a trap and I let Doug walk into it by himself. Where are you going now?
15:50I'm going over and have a little talk with his Denver character. The newsboy here says he works across the street
15:59Look chief, I don't know about any call. I told the police I got the police and tell me
16:03I had nothing to do with it. I couldn't have I was right here washing dishes when your buddy got killed. That's Katie
16:08It's true. Leave him alone. He was washing dishes. Just like you said
16:11I understand how you feel. Everybody seems to understand how I feel
16:15Why doesn't somebody help me find out who killed Doug? Come on Clifford. This isn't getting you anywhere
16:27Cover me Katie
16:32Come on Clipper, it's after two o'clock. We're taking you back to your ship. This has gone far enough not for me Jerry
16:37Do I have to call Bill for help? Oh, you wouldn't do that to me Jerry
16:43Wouldn't I Clipper he's serious
16:47Wouldn't I Clipper he's serious
17:12I'm all right. The guy misses awful close
17:17Jerry what was that noise? Jerry? What's happening? Jerry? Jerry?
17:24Maybe he's gone. Maybe he's not keep your head down
17:28I'm gonna give him a target and he better shoot awful fast cuz this targets gonna be moving
17:46He's gone I would have at least tried for a Clipper
17:50And get on the phone and tell Bill to get down here on the double. I'm going after Clipper
17:54You trying to get yourself killed
18:24You just come in here. Yeah, about three four minutes ago. I'm just taking a break from those greasy dishes next door
18:29Is that against the law or something? Don't give me smart talk. I asked you a question. I answered you know, I go on me
18:36What's up chief I just took a shot at me a second ago and come in here
18:42That on the level
18:45Well, you can search me if you wanna go ahead I want you to
18:49Sorry
18:53Mac I seem to be pushing you around tonight. It's okay chief. If you was to ask me
18:58Did I see somebody come in that door just ahead of you?
19:05It's over there in the shooting gallery a character named tiller and maybe you remember him chief in the lineup with me
19:10I saw him come in
19:13Thanks
19:20Oh
19:20Good evening. Yeah, this is a guy. He's what it was. Tell the police. He killed his sailor. Yeah. Yeah, that's right. I
19:26Don't know why they wouldn't believe me. I kept telling them but they
19:31You know, sometimes I think they just don't want to believe me
19:34Yeah, I'd like that hammer murder last summer
19:37And no matter what I said, that's his angle chief. He runs in with a confession and the cops kick him out
19:43Seems like the cops don't want it made too easy. Just a minute. Mr
19:46Teller that hammer murder you mentioned the victim was a
19:50Fashion model named Sandra. Yeah called her the white chameleon. Yeah. Yeah, that's right, and I did it
19:55Forget him clipper. What do you mean? Forget him that hammer murder?
19:58He just confessed the white chameleon case bill wagon sent that killer to the chair six months ago. Well, then why?
20:05Come on
20:08I'll send you a book on abnormal psychology. You can read it the next time you're at sea
20:12Tiller doesn't know why he confesses. He just confesses
20:16All right, tell her didn't do it
20:19Well, wait a minute if Teller didn't do it
20:23He did
20:25That's right chief
20:27How do you want it?
20:29Killing you are just about square things between me and the Navy. What do you mean? What things?
20:34ten years
20:36Ten years I did in the brig at Portsmouth
20:38And then they kicked me out of the Navy so I could rot on skid row. I
20:41Figure that's worth about six blue jackets. You're off your rocker mister. Those five men you killed didn't do anything to you their outfit did
21:11I
21:41Oh
22:09The breeze wounded not bad enough
22:11Let the law take care of it. He's Jerry get out of my way before you get hurt, too
22:17But not don't let him hurt me
22:21Morning you Jerry telling you get hold of yourself Clipper
22:25Look at him. He's not a responsible man. He's ill. He needs treat not a bullet. Doug doesn't need a bullet either
22:31Move Jerry Clipper listen, I've listened all I'm gonna listen. I said a move
22:42Jerry I didn't mean that. I'm sorry
22:45No, no, all I did was trying to get just wanted to kill somebody anybody
22:49You almost made that mistake once tonight. Go on get it over with go ahead put a bullet in
22:55And spend the rest of your life trying to live with a guy who shoots down another man because he's sick

23:33It's lucky you changed your mind Clipper you to touch that gun out and nailed it
23:37Take him away
23:44And you
23:46Handing him a gun. Have you gone completely out of your mind?
23:50It was his decision bill. He had to make it himself
23:55Besides I could do any harm with an empty gun. Well empty. Yeah, I checked it
24:03Pam
24:07Darling the next time you save my life, please be a little less violent. I'm fragile. Nice to meet you miss fragile
24:24Jerry
24:27When you were in the Navy did you have a girl in every port?
