00:04:29Charlie never goes to nightclubs
00:04:31A very serious fellow, Charlie Riggs
00:04:34Charlie, what makes you think Borg was murdered?
00:04:43Sometimes a lot of people have to get killed to protect an industry
00:04:46All right, this hate thing is a big fat racket, and it needs a lot of protection.
00:04:52If your office knew its business, they'd have gone after these racketeers a long time ago.
00:04:57That's good newspaper copy, Charlie, but where would a racket like that pay off?
00:05:01They're calling an organization.
00:05:06They're calling an organization.
00:05:06They're calling an organization.
00:05:07They're calling an organization.
00:05:08They're calling an organization.
00:05:09Membership dues, badges, buttons, magazines, subscriptions, donations, even uniforms.
00:05:09When you're calling an organization and they're calling a team.
00:05:19They're calling an organization.
00:05:22What ever happened to the old Charlie Riggs with his eye to a keyhole?
00:05:26I've got both eyes open these days.
00:05:29Now, if you guys will excuse me.
00:05:31You aren't going out again tonight.
00:05:33I've got some business, sorry.
00:05:35He's been doing that for weeks now.
00:05:38I never know where he goes.
00:05:39Well, Charlie's a big boy now.
00:05:42Sometimes he doesn't come home until morning.
00:05:44Now, you two can have the rest of the evening to yourselves with my blessing.
00:05:47How's that for a pal, huh?
00:05:49Ought to put me in right where the DA's are.
00:05:51Put me in right with the audience.
00:05:53Come on down tomorrow and have a talk about it.
00:05:54Anytime.
00:05:55I've got to interview Mrs. Borg tomorrow.
00:05:57Hold me a favor.
00:05:59And thanks for the candy.
00:06:21Oh, no.
00:06:23No, Max was not killed.
00:06:26My husband, he take his own life.
00:06:30For what reason, Mrs. Borg?
00:06:34Max, worry.
00:06:37That man, he is always calling on telephone.
00:06:41Always when he comes to the shop.
00:06:43Always question the questions.
00:06:47What man was this, Mrs. Borg?
00:06:49His name, Riggs.
00:06:52He writes things in the newspapers about Max.
00:06:55But Mr. Riggs wasn't trying to hurt your husband.
00:06:57I don't know.
00:07:00Mrs. Borg, you've seen this before, haven't you?
00:07:03Yes.
00:07:08Max printed his job he'd do it last week.
00:07:11It's one of those invitations Riggs mentioned in his column.
00:07:14Join the Crusaders.
00:07:16Fight for Americanism.
00:07:19Where'd you get this?
00:07:20From Charlie.
00:07:21He's got quite a collection.
00:07:23He's still waiting outside?
00:07:24No.
00:07:25Mrs. Borg, when was the last time Mr. Riggs came to see your husband?
00:07:29Last time?
00:07:31Yes, sir.
00:07:32Have Mr. Malloy's friend come in, please, Miss McConaughey.
00:07:35I guess I was.
00:07:38Yes, the night before Max died.
00:07:42What about yesterday morning?
00:07:43Didn't you see anyone in the shop when you came down and found your husband's body?
00:07:47I went downstairs.
00:07:51Only Max!
00:07:54Are you sure of that, Mrs. Borg?
00:07:56No one there?
00:07:57Nobody wants to kill Max.
00:07:58He'd kill himself.
00:08:02Come in.
00:08:03Good afternoon, sir.
00:08:05Hello, Howard.
00:08:06Charlie.
00:08:07That's the man.
00:08:08Yes, you.
00:08:10You make Max go crazy.
00:08:12You make him take his own life.
00:08:14The murder, Max.
00:08:18What do you say, Charlie?
00:08:23I've never seen anyone so afraid.
00:08:25Beer, Howard, beer.
00:08:27It's a terrible weapon.
00:08:28You saw what it did to Mrs. Borg this afternoon.
00:08:29I could see she was lying.
00:08:30She's afraid if she doesn't hang on to that suicide story, they'll get rid of her, too.
00:08:34Jack, set him up again.
00:08:35Sounds like Capone and Schultz and the mobs are back again.
00:08:36When the law closes in on one racket, the big boys always find another.
00:08:49With the mobsters, it was liquor and blood.
00:08:52With this outfit, it's hate and blood.
00:08:54But they're just harmless lunatics, these hate groups.
00:08:58Lunatics, yes.
00:08:59Especially the warp mines on top with a dream of power or gold or political success.
00:09:05But not harmless.
00:09:07When the racket boys move in.
00:09:09It's Merry Christmas for a few smart operators when they find a soft touch like this.
00:09:14Charlie, what got you into this?
00:09:16I'm fed to the teeth seeing people pushed around.
00:09:18You know, I was born in this city, Howard.
00:09:23In our block, we had guys from practically every race and religion you ever heard of,
00:09:27and a couple you didn't.
00:09:29But we got along pretty well.
00:09:31Well, that's the way it ought to be.
00:09:33In our block, nobody cared what country your parents came from or where they went to church.
00:09:39Nobody called your nasty names.
00:09:41Until you were taught there were nasty names, and some people were supposed to be called by them.
00:09:45Mix, Polacks, Wops, Limeys, Thick, Crunkies.
00:09:50That's part of our history.
00:09:53America always has to melt away the differences between people.
00:09:56Sure, and most always you don't understand why they're supposed to be different.
00:10:00It's just somebody else's faith, somebody else's influence.
00:10:03Now we've got people around who want to make people hate each other.
00:10:06They're afraid of each other.
00:10:07Just so they can make money out of it.
00:10:09I don't like that.
00:10:11Look, Charlie, hold off these columns of yours for a week or so, will you?
00:10:15Give me time to run this down.
00:10:17Here's your rundown right here in my cage.
00:10:19And I've got a fistful of news down.
00:10:22You're getting interested, huh?
00:10:25Sure, I'm interested.
00:10:26But we're not playing with kids.
00:10:28Take it easy and wait a while.
00:10:30And lose a great story and my readers think I'm scared?
00:10:33Give me time to find out who murdered Borg.
00:10:35Give me a week.
00:10:36Sorry, my friend.
00:10:37Told you last night that's all I wanted, one week.
00:10:40I mean it, Charlie.
00:10:41Take it easy.
00:10:41Nothing doing.
00:10:42I'm a little guy, but I don't scare easy.
00:10:44Oh, pay the tab, huh?
00:10:46You're the new boy in this club.
00:10:52I never drink alone.
00:10:54That can be fixed.
00:10:55I don't care.
00:11:06I don't care.
00:11:36After you.
00:11:49What floor?
00:11:5011th.
00:11:51That's right.
00:12:06That's right.
00:12:36That's right.
00:12:52Oh, my God.
00:13:22Oh, my God.
00:13:52The only way they could identify him was by his pocketbook.
00:14:00His face.
00:14:04When Mrs. Wachinski came and got him.
00:14:07Oh, he couldn't have done it to Robert Lee Howard.
00:14:10Charlie would never.
00:14:11Of course not, baby.
00:14:14Anybody who ever knew Charlie at all.
00:14:16How's it coming, Wiley?
00:14:20Find anything?
00:14:20Not much, Mr. Malloy.
00:14:22All the fingerprints seem to belong to Miss Riggs and the deceased.
00:14:25Carol, is anything missing?
00:14:28I talked to Miss Riggs earlier.
00:14:30His briefcase, apparently.
00:14:31He did most of his writing here.
00:14:36You check his office?
00:14:38Find anything?
00:14:39Not that they could see.
00:14:42Real funny.
00:14:45They'll find out about a lot of things.
00:14:46Oh, my God.
00:14:49Assistant District Attorney Malloy charges murder.
00:14:52And hence, hate conspiracy and death of countless pals.
00:14:56Oh, you did, eh?
00:14:57The reporter asked me what I thought.
00:14:59So you told him?
00:15:00Yep.
00:15:01The time is now to appoint a special prosecutor
00:15:05capable of handling this vicious outbreak of violence
00:15:08in our fair city.
00:15:09We want...
00:15:11They want action, and they want it now.
00:15:16Yes?
00:15:17Mrs. Hawley's here for her appointment.
00:15:19Oh, is that late?
00:15:20All right, then there.
00:15:22Howard, there's no evidence that Riggs was murdered.
00:15:25There's no evidence that anything he told you was true.
00:15:28He's dead, isn't he?
00:15:30Oh, I'm sorry. You're busy.
00:15:33Oh, come in, Grace. Just finishing.
00:15:36This is my assistant, Howard.
00:15:38Of course.
00:15:39How's it going, Mrs. Hawley?
00:15:40One of Frank's brightest young men.
00:15:42You mustn't let him overwork you, Mr. Malloy.
00:15:45Well, we're always busy, Mrs. Hawley.
00:15:47All right, Howard. Go ahead with this case.
00:15:49But if what Riggs said was true, watch out.
00:15:52He was right.
00:15:53Forget he was a pal, Dewey.
00:15:55Use your head instead of your heart.
00:15:57I don't want this office to look any worse than it does always.
00:15:59That's, uh, hardly possible.
00:16:02Frank making another speech for you?
00:16:04Civic Bediment dinner next week, I hope.
00:16:07Grace, you've lead an old horse to dinner,
00:16:09but you can't expect you to speak.
00:16:10Nice to have seen you again, Mrs. Hawley.
00:16:12Oh, thank you.
00:16:13Remember what I said, Howard. Nothing foolish.
00:16:15I'll try.
00:16:16Sit down, Grace.
00:16:18Now then.
00:16:19What's this about a speech?
00:16:20Frank, we need you at the Speaker's table.
00:16:21With you there, it'll be almost as though Jonathan himself were present.
00:16:24Everybody remembers that you were his last protege,
00:16:26that you worked with him until the very end.
00:16:27I'd never be District Attorney today,
00:16:28but hadn't been for Judge Hartley's sponsorship and guidance.
00:16:29We'll never forget him, will we, Frank?
00:16:31No honest politician could ever forget your husband.
00:16:33What kind of speech will you make?
00:16:34We must send some sort of announcement to the papers, you know.
00:16:35Perhaps I could say a few words about civil liberty in our great metropolis.
00:16:39Good.
00:16:40You know, a free city with freedom for all men.
00:16:42It's a great place to be a great city.
00:16:43You have a great city.
00:16:44You have a great city.
00:16:45Well, I've got a great city for me.
00:16:46Well, I've got a great city for me.
00:16:47I've got a great city.
00:16:48I've got to know that you have to say that you are his last protege,
00:16:49that you worked with him until the very end.
00:16:50I'd never be District Attorney today if it hadn't been
00:16:51for Judge Hartley's sponsorship and guidance.
00:16:53We'll never forget him, will we, Frank?
00:16:55No honest politician could ever forget your husband.
00:16:56in our great metropolis.
00:16:57Good.
00:16:58You know, a free city with freedom for all men.
00:17:04That sort of thing.
00:17:05Fine.
00:17:11You had nothing to prove that Borg was murdered.
00:17:15And now you've got nothing to prove that Wings was murdered.
00:17:18Nothing.
00:17:19Howard, are you asleep?
00:17:21Oh, I guess I'd better be getting home.
00:17:24Very tired.
00:17:25Oh, well, nice.
00:17:27Why don't you stretch out here?
00:17:28Take a nap.
00:17:29No, I'd better go home.
00:17:31Get a clean shirt.
00:17:33Then start out again.
00:17:35Thanks for lunch, baby.
00:17:37How do you feel?
00:17:39How do you feel?
00:17:41How do you feel?
00:17:43How do you feel?
00:17:45How do you feel?
00:17:47How do you feel?
00:17:49How do you feel?
00:17:50How do you feel?
00:17:52Scared.
00:17:53It's all so sudden.
00:17:56I just don't know why.
00:17:58All that work, courage, going after these thugs.
00:18:03He never realized, I guess, how they could turn their viciousness against him.
00:18:08It's awful.
00:18:10A feeling of helplessness.
00:18:12No, we're not so helpless.
00:18:14We're going to follow every lead Charlie left.
00:18:17I wish he'd told me more.
00:18:22Now, what about tonight?
00:18:24You can't stay here.
00:18:25Why not?
00:18:26Well, I don't think you should.
00:18:29It'll be all right.
00:18:30Mrs. Willis across the hall insists on staying with him.
00:18:33You're sure you'll let her?
00:18:34I don't think I can stop her.
00:18:36All right, I'll phone you later.
00:18:38I'll be waiting.
00:18:39Well, I'll be off.
00:18:40Oh!
00:18:41I wanted to show you this.
00:18:42I found it on a shelf in Charlie's closet.
00:18:43I wonder where it came from.
00:18:44I really don't know.
00:18:45It's signed with just initials.
00:18:46Yes, but there's something written on the back of it.
00:18:47Well, that's Charlie's handwriting.
00:18:48What's that for?
00:18:49Sigmund Kostovic, Rembrandt Studios.
00:18:50Who is that?
00:18:51Our customer?
00:18:52I don't know.
00:18:53No, no, no.
00:18:54I'm not sure.
00:18:55I mean, I want to show you this.
00:18:56I found it on a shelf in Charlie's closet.
00:18:57I wonder where it came from.
00:18:58I really don't know.
00:18:59Signed with just initials.
00:19:00Yes, but there's something written on the back of it.
00:19:02Well, that's Charlie's handwriting.
00:19:03What's that for?
00:19:04Sigmund Kostovic, Rembrandt Studios.
00:19:09Rembrandt Studios.
00:19:15Who is that?
00:19:16A customer.
00:19:18Who?
00:19:19A client.
00:19:20No clients today.
00:19:21Uh, telegram.
00:19:23No telegrams today.
00:19:25Oh, please, Mr. Costa Rica.
00:19:26I've got to talk to you.
00:19:27I'm an admirer of yours.
00:19:29Admirer?
00:19:30Admirer?
00:19:31You're charming.
00:19:33Won't you come in?
00:19:34Thanks.
00:19:36Now, what do you want here?
00:19:37Well, I'll tell you, Mr. Costa Rica.
00:19:39Some old fraternity brothers of mine are planning a reunion.
00:19:42We were wondering if you'd make up a poster for us.
00:19:44A poster?
00:19:45A poster.
00:19:46I do not draw a poster.
00:19:47I'm an artist.
00:19:48A painter.
00:19:49You would go now?
00:19:50Oh, come on, now, Mr. Costa Rica.
00:19:52You've made posters before.
00:19:54Have I?
00:19:55Don't you remember?
00:19:56Often it is not wise to remember.
00:19:58I'm a painter.
00:19:59You would go now?
00:20:00Oh, come on now, Mr. Costa Rica.
00:20:02You've made posters before.
00:20:03Have I?
00:20:04Don't you remember?
00:20:05Often it is not wise to remember.
00:20:07Good.
00:20:08Why?
00:20:09A beautiful woman.
00:20:11That's your story.
00:20:12It is the oldest story.
00:20:14Wow, there's a beautiful woman.
00:20:16Ah, the beauty of you.
00:20:18Who is she?
00:20:19A modern.
00:20:20An old friend.
00:20:22I'd like to have that.
00:20:24It's already sold.
00:20:26What's it doing here, then?
00:20:28I'm going to hang it at an exhibition of mine at the Contemporary Museum next week.
00:20:33It will be my first one-man show in America.
00:20:35It certainly is different from the big blonde head on the Crusader poster.
00:20:39You are from the police, I think.
00:20:42Not exactly.
00:20:43What does that mean?
00:20:44District Attorney's office.
00:20:46Oh.
00:20:47You'd better think back about that poster.
00:20:49Yes, I will.
00:20:50I will indeed.
00:20:51You are going now to get the police?
00:20:52Matter of fact, I'm not.
00:20:53I'm on my way home to change my shirt.
00:20:56I'm not.
00:20:57I'm on my way home to change my shirt.
00:21:26I'll take those.
00:21:47You're looking for something?
00:21:51I said, were you looking for something?
00:21:54What's your name?
00:21:57Miller.
00:21:58Take it easy.
00:22:01No identification, huh?
00:22:07I've seen this one before.
00:22:12Who is she?
00:22:13Just a dame.
00:22:14I don't know who.
00:22:15I tore it under the paper.
00:22:16Reminded me of my grandmother.
00:22:17Make better jokes, kid.
00:22:18You're in trouble.
00:22:19What are these?
00:22:21You need help to see the angel.
00:22:22Who's this angel?
00:22:23How should I know?
00:22:24Where'd you get these cards?
00:22:25Someone wanted me to see the guy.
00:22:26With a fresh card for every visit, huh?
00:22:27What were you after in my apartment?
00:22:28Just on a little visit.
00:22:29Just on a little visit.
00:22:30Just on a little visit.
00:22:31Okay, kid.
00:22:32I'll send you a little visit.
00:22:33Give you time to think of some more answers.
00:22:34Breaking and entering.
00:22:35Assault and battery.
00:22:36See the angel, huh?
00:22:37I think I'll do a little visiting myself.
00:22:38Yeah, I could use some help.
00:22:43See the angel, huh?
00:22:45I did my visit.
00:22:46I think I'll be in the hospital, huh?
00:22:49Well, let's go and see.
00:22:50I'll be the guest.
00:22:51Who's this angel?
00:22:52Who else?
00:22:53Who's this angel?
00:22:54Oh, well, he's the angel, huh?
00:22:55You're so close.
00:22:56I'll be here.
00:22:57Can't wait.
00:22:58Oh, I don't know.
00:22:59I can't wait.
00:23:00I'll be there.
00:23:01Well, you're very happy.
00:23:02Oh, well, it's the angel.
00:23:04We are very precious.
00:23:05I mean by the angel.
00:23:07Well, they must have been killed.
00:23:08Oh, well, we'll be right after you.
00:23:09I'll be right after you.
00:23:10How'd we go.
00:23:11Give you time to think of some more answers.
00:23:12Breaking and entering?
00:23:13Where can I find the angel?
00:23:18You're new around here.
00:23:21Thanks.
00:23:38What do you sell on this bush truck of yours?
00:23:40Apples, oranges, grapes, everything in season.
00:23:44Please, you fix the summons up. Please.
00:23:47Pardon me. Where can I find the angel?
00:23:55Find the angel. What can I do for you, my friend?
00:24:04Stay off the main streets with your bush guard and you won't get another summons.
00:24:07Here.
00:24:10Pay the fine.
00:24:12Thank you, Mr. Angel. Thank you.
00:24:14Harry, take over.
00:24:15Sure, boss.
00:24:16Come into my office.
00:24:17We can talk there.
00:24:19Right. Anything you say.
00:24:20Sure, send me all manners after you.
00:24:23Sit down, mister.
00:24:24Malloy.
00:24:25Malloy.
00:24:26Yes, I know.
00:24:28That boy, Knuckles, is in trouble again, huh?
00:24:31He told me his name was Miller.
00:24:32I guess he has a lot of names.
00:24:33Around here we call him Knuckles.
00:24:35Well, we don't let him around here anymore, those punk kids.
00:24:39You know, sometimes you can't help him.
00:24:40What'd he do now?
00:24:41He hid himself in my apartment.
00:24:43Tried to give me the business.
00:24:44And what happened?
00:24:46Last I saw him, he was riding off in a little black wagon.
00:24:49Uh-huh.
00:24:51And what brings you here, Mr. Malloy?
00:24:54Well, I found this card in the kid's pocket.
00:24:57It says, see the angel.
00:24:59So, you came to see me.
00:25:01Check.
00:25:02Good.
00:25:03I give away thousands of cards like that.
00:25:06What can I do for you, my friend?
00:25:08Answer a few questions, such as?
00:25:09You can't be drinking.
00:25:10Never cared more.
00:25:12Why are you called the angel?
00:25:15Well, my name is Angelo Agostini.
00:25:19In all my life, I enjoy doing things for people.
00:25:24Well, here's to the first angel I ever met.
00:25:27And here's to our next special prosecutor.
00:25:31Who would that be?
00:25:33You, I think, Mr. Malloy.
00:25:35You've been making quite an impression on this town.
00:25:37I knew who you were when you first came in.
00:25:41You've been driving the newspapers crazy.
00:25:43They're demanding the governor appoint a special prosecutor on this case.
00:25:47No chance I'd get it.
00:25:49You've got every chance.
00:25:50Mr. Malloy.
00:25:52I'm curious.
00:25:54Just how far do you expect to go in this case?
00:25:57At least as far as whoever murdered Charles Riggs.
00:26:02You're a tough guy, Mr. Malloy.
00:26:04I can see that.
00:26:06And I like tough guys.
00:26:08You are tough about the right things.
00:26:09Perhaps, in my fashion, I could be of some help to you.
00:26:14Like I told you, I enjoy doing things for others.
00:26:19What can you do for me?
00:26:23This is the angel calling.
00:26:25Is the big fellow in?
00:26:26Thanks.
00:26:27It keeps me young and happy doing things for others.
00:26:32Hello?
00:26:34How's the golf these days?
00:26:37Fine, fine.
00:26:39Say, what are you doing about appointing a special prosecutor on this Riggs game?
00:26:43I've got Malloy here with me from the DA's office.
00:26:46Seems to me he'd make a fine special prosecutor.
00:26:48I thought if you'd talk to the boss, put pressure on the right people.
00:26:52Fine, I'd appreciate that.
00:26:54What?
00:26:55Oh, I'm sorry.
00:26:56I won't be.
00:26:57Goodbye.
00:26:59What's your angle, Agostini?
00:27:01Must I have an angle?
00:27:03Who was that you just called?
00:27:05Do we have to mention names?
00:27:08You make a phone call, and just like that, I'm special prosecutor?
00:27:11Of course, you'll have to do something about it yourself.
00:27:14Get some of those civic roofs tonight.
00:27:16You know what you need is a little help.
00:27:19Let's keep in touch with Mallory.
00:27:22Let's try to help each other.
00:27:24Yeah.
00:27:27I've heard quite a lot about the young lady.
00:27:30Name's Whitfield.
00:27:32Whitfield?
00:27:33Barbara Whitfield.
00:27:35Well, this is a pleasant change from office routine.
00:27:38What'd she do besides pose for pictures?
00:27:40Quite a few things.
00:27:41She's worked in nightclubs.
00:27:43Very fancy ones.
00:27:45No dives.
00:27:46No dives?
00:27:48For a while, she worked as a model in the 5th Avenue dress shop.
00:27:51Two years ago, she sang in a Broadway musical.
00:27:55Quite a dish.
00:27:57Is she singing any plays now?
00:27:59Nice plays over on the east side.
00:28:02You know, low lights, soft music.
00:28:04J.
00:28:06Beautiful, light,jobben Michigan.
00:28:20That's cute.
00:28:21Beautiful and beautiful.
00:28:23You know, with your chosen love
00:28:25Uh, waiter?
00:28:41When does Miss Whitfield sing again?
00:28:44We just got here.
00:28:46When's the supper show?
00:28:47That was the supper show.
00:28:50Thanks.
00:28:50Is that why we came here?
00:28:56To hear that singer?
00:28:57Well, I wanted to get a look at her,
00:28:58but I also wanted to spend some time with you.
00:29:01I really shouldn't have come to the nightclub.
00:29:04Nonsense, do you?
00:29:04Good to get away from that apartment.
00:29:06Look, you're going to move from there, aren't you?
00:29:09I don't think so.
00:29:11At least not for a while yet anyway.
00:29:14I keep hoping I'll find something.
00:29:16Some clue.
00:29:17Oh, that reminds me.
00:29:18We can't stay here very long.
00:29:19My assistant Quigley's waiting for me.
00:29:22I think we've got to leave.
00:29:26Missed the place, Howard.
00:29:28President Al reported they arrived here about a half hour ago
00:29:30with a loan to leave.
00:29:32I'd like to get a look inside.
00:29:34Next up, the elevator.
00:29:43That's for what?
00:29:44Anybody else around here?
00:29:47Yeah?
00:29:48Who?
00:29:49Ah, you've got the delivery entrance.
00:29:52He's downstairs.
00:29:53Who's downstairs?
00:29:54I don't know.
00:29:55Two or three of them.
00:29:56We've got a chance.
00:29:57Let's go in.
00:29:57Sure.
00:29:57I'll let you downstairs.
00:29:59Yeah, wait a minute.
00:29:59This stuff can't offer me for us.
00:30:10Hard to tell what any of it is.
00:30:12Might even be legitimate.
00:30:13Let's poke around some more.
00:30:15We're standing right in the middle of Main Street here.
00:30:27Hey, wait a minute.
00:30:28I wonder what's inside these things.
00:30:41Let's look.
00:30:43This looks like some more board for us.
00:30:47Yeah.
00:30:51Here's some kind of shirt.
00:30:53Uniform shirt.
00:30:54Fancy dress, costumes, and everything.
00:30:57Even buttons for the lapel.
00:30:58Souvenir.
00:30:59Thanks.
00:30:59Somebody must be making a lot of money out of these things.
00:31:03You mean they sell these uniforms?
00:31:04Well, don't give them away.
00:31:06If you want to play crusader, you've got to buy a uniform, badges, belts, caps, all that
00:31:11organization stuff.
00:31:13This is how wars are started in that dusty warehouse.
00:31:16Who do you really think is behind these proofs there?
00:31:20Let's find out what's going on down there.
00:31:46Sad angels fear the truth.
00:31:53Not me.
00:31:54Let's get out of here.
00:31:58Another crusader leaflet?
00:32:00Where'd you get it?
00:32:00In a little print shop downtown.
00:32:02Haven't watched 24 hours a day.
00:32:04Tending to that, boss.
00:32:06Malloy.
00:32:07Yes, Mrs. Hartley.
00:32:10Well, uh...
00:32:11Well, yes, but it'll have to be after seven.
00:32:19Yeah.
00:32:19Fine.
00:32:21Old Mother Hartley?
00:32:22Yeah.
00:32:24Got to speak for your supper?
00:32:27Oh, no.
00:32:28Yes, Callagher.
00:32:43Oh, yes.
00:32:44Send him in.
00:32:53Mr. Malloy.
00:32:54Thanks.
00:32:55Come in, Mr. Malloy.
00:32:57I'm so glad you could drop by.
00:33:03Frankly, your call aroused my curiosity.
00:33:06Lucid, gentle.
00:33:07Thanks.
00:33:09Howard.
00:33:10May I call you Howard?
00:33:12Yes, of course.
00:33:14Do you want to be special prosecutor?
00:33:17Huh?
00:33:18Because you can be if you want to be.
00:33:21Some rather influential people think you're the man for the job.
00:33:25Well, Charlie Riggs started it.
00:33:27I'd like a chance to finish it.
00:33:28They've already been in touch with the governor.
00:33:30Really?
00:33:31Then I guess it's okay with the D.A.
00:33:33Frank, he won't object when he knows that I'm supporting you.
00:33:36I'm very grateful, Mrs. Hartley.
00:33:38Now, one thing.
00:33:40I'm told that a small-time politician named Agostini
00:33:44had something to do with suggesting your name a special prosecutor.
00:33:47Well, I guess that's right, he did.
00:33:50Well, this man's reputation is unsavory, to say the least.
00:33:55I suggest that you disavow Mr. Agostini immediately.
00:33:59Consider him disavowed.
00:34:01In that case, I think you might consider yourself appointed.
00:34:07Malloy, try to reach you all afternoon.
00:34:10Other people can call you a special prosecutor,
00:34:14but to me, you'll always be my favorite assistant.
00:34:17Is that you, Malloy?
00:34:20Agostini.
00:34:21I fall to congratulate you on your appointment.
00:34:26What?
00:34:28Well, if there's anything I can do, let me know.
00:34:31Yeah, call the agent.
00:34:32Well, Howard, we did it.
00:34:37Your special prosecutor.
00:34:40I expect great things of you.
00:34:43By the way, could you drive over tomorrow night?
00:34:46I want you to meet some people.
00:34:48I've sent you a confidential file on some of them.
00:34:52Men who have tremendous influence.
00:34:55Take a look at my notes before you come over.
00:34:58Yeah.
00:34:59Yeah, I'll do that.
00:35:00About six tomorrow?
00:35:01Right, right.
00:35:04Mrs. Hartley sent you this envelope about an hour ago,
00:35:06by special messenger.
00:35:07Yeah, she just told me.
00:35:12Things are moving pretty fast, aren't they?
00:35:14Yeah, in a circle.
00:35:17I wish there was something I could do to help you, Howard.
00:35:23I usually like to help myself.
00:35:31That's fine, too.
00:35:34But what about these wires?
00:35:37All these papers you have to sign?
00:35:41I could run errands.
00:35:43I hate to keep you out of this, baby.
00:35:46Howard, we picked her up at the airport.
00:35:48That man, he has no right to stop me.
00:35:50Where were you going?
00:35:51Get a one-way ticket to Mexico City.
00:35:52I take a little trip.
00:35:53An expensive trip.
00:35:54Who arranged it?
00:35:55Nobody.
00:35:56Somebody ordered you to leave.
00:35:57Who was it?
00:35:58Please.
00:35:59I have had so much trouble.
00:36:02Without my husband, I don't know what to do.
00:36:04Mrs. Borg, why are you so frightened?
00:36:07What is it?
00:36:07Someone called it this afternoon.
00:36:09Told her to catch the next plane to Mexico City.
00:36:11You know about that?
00:36:12We've had your telephone tapped for several days.
00:36:14Please, Mrs. Borg, for your own sake, tell us.
00:36:16Who called you?
00:36:18I, uh, I don't know.
00:36:21It was a strange voice.
00:36:24Booker is a material witness, without faith.
00:36:26What does this mean?
00:36:26This means you'll be safe, Mrs. Borg.
00:36:28If we let you go home, those men might kill you
00:36:30the way they killed your husband.
00:36:31You won't let them kill me?
00:36:32Come along, Mrs. Borg.
00:36:33Don't you worry.
00:36:34Mr. Malloy will take good care of you.
00:36:37Won't you, Howard?
00:36:38Sure.
00:36:39Well, we'll take good care of both of you.
00:36:42You want to help, huh?
00:36:44Okay, you got the job.
00:36:46This is a place for you, right here.
00:36:49I wanted you to say that.
00:36:51I did.
00:36:52Anything else you wanted me to say?
00:36:54Anything else you want to say?
00:36:56That'd take a long time.
00:36:58Oh?
00:36:59Mm-hmm.
00:36:59Mm-hmm.
00:37:09All right.
00:37:09Just this.
00:37:27Good evening, sir.
00:37:30Mr. Malloy.
00:37:30Mr. Malloy!
00:37:32Yes, dear.
00:37:34You did come.
00:37:36I'm so grateful.
00:37:38So am I. Change the scene.
00:37:40Will you have a cocktail?
00:37:42Or would you rather have something to drink?
00:37:44Thanks. I'll wait a while. We'll cut by.
00:37:46Well, just as you please.
00:37:48Now, as I told you,
00:37:52you're going to meet some people.
00:37:54Great. Will you come over and look at this?
00:37:56Presently, my dear.
00:37:58There are some people who veil our pain,
00:38:00as the saying is.
00:38:02I've met a few of those already.
00:38:04We'll add to your collection.
00:38:06All these people? Oh, no.
00:38:08Just the ones I thank you the notes of.
00:38:10As a matter of fact, I don't know half the people here myself.
00:38:12And thank you, heaven.
00:38:14The only people I enjoy these days
00:38:16are the ones I haven't met before.
00:38:18The strangers that I first bring along.
00:38:20Shall we go?
00:38:24You went over my notes carefully.
00:38:26Yes, very.
00:38:28Now keep them in mind.
00:38:30Oh, I beg your pardon.
00:38:32As we meet the subject...
00:38:34Grace, you left your cocktail.
00:38:36Yes, just a moment.
00:38:38Now I'll go from left to right.
00:38:40Mr. Nichols, may I present Mr. Malloy?
00:38:44Harry, this is our new special prosecutor.
00:38:46Hello.
00:38:48We've already met, informally.
00:38:50Mr. Nichols' papers didn't think much of my appointment.
00:38:52Harry against you? Really?
00:38:54Well, surely it's only because he's opposing his local competitor.
00:38:58The Express Journal.
00:39:00Oh, now really, Grace.
00:39:02Who wants to look into a man's motives at a gay time like this?
00:39:04We're all here for a little relaxation from serious things.
00:39:08Nichols is a lord of the press, began as a copy boy and worked his way to the top by inheriting a chain of newspapers from his father.
00:39:16Give Nichols any trouble and you'll be the subject of a furious editorial the next day, simultaneously in 34 newspapers.
00:39:22Well, you think this is the time to discuss Mr. Malloy's business or mine?
00:39:26Why, Harry, I thought you did all your business at cocktail parties.
00:39:29Sometimes, Grace, your polite little jokes aren't very polite.
00:39:32Or very little.
00:39:33Which brings us to Tom Waldron, Jr.
00:39:35Mr. Malloy, may I present the worst dressed radio executive in the industry.
00:39:39And the only really frivolous mind you'll meet this afternoon.
00:39:43If Grace hadn't been Judge Hartley's wife, she'd not get away with such casual slander.
00:39:47Waldron is a schemer and a fool.
00:39:51He wants to get into politics.
00:39:53But then who doesn't?
00:39:55Like a lot of people, he thinks society is tumbling.
00:39:58And that the Waldron plan for social reorganization must be applied at once or we perish.
00:40:03And if Grace ever runs out of bright conversation, all she has to do is to remember the judge's epigrams.
00:40:10You are a rascal, Kostrick.
00:40:12A complete rascal.
00:40:13I acknowledge it.
00:40:15And here's Stuart Pemberton, public relations.
00:40:17Hello, Mr. Malloy.
00:40:19Or should I say private relations?
00:40:21You shouldn't, Grace.
00:40:23May I introduce Sigmund Kostrick, Mrs. Hartley, Mr. Malloy.
00:40:28Mr. Kostrick and I have met.
00:40:31I, uh, I don't seem to recall our meeting.
00:40:35Oh?
00:40:36Well, I must be mistaken.
00:40:38If you'll excuse me.
00:40:42Look here, Malloy.
00:40:43This crusade of yours.
00:40:45Tongue in cheek, isn't it?
00:40:46Well, hardly.
00:40:47Don't tell me you're the quixotic defender of the rights of men.
00:40:52The Express Journal says you are.
00:40:54It's hard to tell what you mean.
00:40:56What I mean is you can't be falling for your own publicity.
00:41:00I can't help thinking the law.
00:41:02It's just during the...
00:41:03Pemberton's a big time fixer.
00:41:05He's a fool too, but very influential.
00:41:07I can't tell you anything about him that he won't tell you himself in conversation.
00:41:12Be careful of this man.
00:41:14The right to hate is just as inalienable as...
00:41:17as inalienable as the right to free speech.
00:41:20You've got to defend that too, you know.
00:41:22Inalienable is a very important word, Mr. Pemberton.
00:41:25I'm sure it's hard to say on purpose.
00:41:27Never mind the remark, young man.
00:41:30I'm talking about the history of man.
00:41:33Out of hatred came the triumph of one group over another.
00:41:36The elimination of the misfit and the weak.
00:41:38The creative evolution of a superior class.
00:41:41Don't you see, Malloy?
00:41:42Out of it came our great industrial civilization.
00:41:46And out of it came a war with 20 million dead.
00:41:50Oh.
00:41:51I feel obliged to interrupt this conversation.
00:41:53Will you excuse us, Stuart, please?
00:41:58Bad politics, Howard.
00:41:59A bad man.
00:42:00I agree.
00:42:01And a man with the habit of victory.
00:42:05Cartel?
00:42:06No, thanks.
00:42:07Andrew, bring Mr. Malloy a scotch and, uh...
00:42:10Water, please.
00:42:12You're welcome.
00:42:13Great, chérie.
00:42:14You must come over here for a moment.
00:42:15Just to set the point for us.
00:42:16Apparently, I'm necessary to an argument.
00:42:19Will you excuse me?
00:42:20No, please.
00:42:21No, please.
00:42:22I'm Barbara.
00:42:23Good.
00:42:24Good what?
00:42:25Good name for you.
00:42:26You look as if you ought to be called Barbara.
00:42:28Really?
00:42:29Scotch and water, sir.
00:42:30No, please.
00:42:31No, please.
00:42:32No, please.
00:42:33No, please.
00:42:34No, please.
00:42:35No, please.
00:42:36No, please.
00:42:37No, please.
00:42:38I'm Barbara.
00:42:39Good.
00:42:40Good.
00:42:41Good what?
00:42:42Good name for you.
00:42:43You look as if you ought to be called Barbara.
00:42:44Really?
00:42:45Scotch and water, sir.
00:42:46That was mine.
00:42:47Yes, I know.
00:42:49I wonder if your name fits the way you look.
00:42:51Malloy is my name.
00:42:52Howard Malloy.
00:42:53Good.
00:42:54Good what?
00:42:55Good guessing.
00:42:56That's who I thought you were.
00:42:57How?
00:42:58Everybody here is the name.
00:42:59No, please.
00:43:00No, please.
00:43:01No, please.
00:43:02No, please.
00:43:03No, please.
00:43:04No, please.
00:43:05No, please.
00:43:06No, please.
00:43:07No, please.
00:43:08No, please.
00:43:09No, please.
00:43:10No, please.
00:43:11No, please.
00:43:12No, please.
00:43:13I thought you were.
00:43:14How?
00:43:15Everybody here has been talking about you this afternoon.
00:43:18And you're the only stranger who looks as if he ought to be called Howard.
00:43:23You're a special something or other, aren't you?
00:43:27Prosecutor.
00:43:28What do you do?
00:43:29Sing.
00:43:30Yes, obviously.
00:43:31You ever relax?
00:43:33From what?
00:43:34Singing.
00:43:35As often as possible.
00:43:37What about the song a minute ago?
00:43:40That was just for myself.
00:43:42I like to do things for myself once in a while.
00:43:46Doesn't that happen often?
00:43:48Now, stop this.
00:43:50I never answer questions on an empty stomach.
00:43:53I'm hungry, too.
00:43:55You with somebody?
00:43:56That's a very large question.
00:43:59I'm not with Harry, anyway.
00:44:01I, uh...
00:44:02I like the song, Barbara.
00:44:04The song?
00:44:05Harry?
00:44:07Howard, please forgive me.
00:44:09Did you finally get a drink?
00:44:10Yes, I did, Mrs. Hartley.
00:44:12You've met more strangers today than I have.
00:44:13I was just getting acquainted when Nichols arrived.
00:44:14Who's she with?
00:44:15Goodness knows.
00:44:16Well, our Mr. Pemberton's been looking most possessive.
00:44:17And Mr. Costa Rica.
00:44:18I know.
00:44:19Your office called Mr. Malloy and Mr. Quigley is waiting for you.
00:44:21They said it was important.
00:44:22Yes, thanks.
00:44:23Does that mean you have to go?
00:44:24Yes, right away.
00:44:25Oh.
00:44:26Well, I'll have Andrew Fletcher have it.
00:44:27Thanks.
00:44:28Good night, Miss Whitfield.
00:44:29Good night, Mr. Malloy.
00:44:30Good night, Mr. Malloy.
00:44:31Good night, Mr. Malloy.
00:44:32Good night, Mr. Malloy.
00:44:33Good night.
00:44:34Good night, Mr. Malloy.
00:44:35I'm sure Mr. Malloy.
00:44:36Good night.
00:44:37Oh, Mr. Malloy.
00:44:39Mr. Malloy, Mr. Quigley is waiting for you.
00:44:40They said it was important.
00:44:41Yes, thanks.
00:44:42Does that mean you have to go?
00:44:43Yes, right away.
00:44:44Oh.
00:44:45Well, I'll have Andrew Fletcher have it.
00:44:47Thanks.
00:44:48Good night, Miss Whitfield.
00:44:49Good night, Mr. Malloy.
00:44:51Oh, my God.
00:45:21Oh, what did you want?
00:45:30I just wanted to see you again, so didn't you want to see me again?
00:45:34You're still a man with a lot of questions, aren't you?
00:45:36Yeah.
00:45:37Didn't you want to see me again?
00:45:39Yes.
00:45:40All right, then.
00:45:44How did you get my number?
00:45:45That's easy, where I work.
00:45:47Is everything easy for you?
00:45:49No.
00:45:50Oh, that's just as well.
00:45:54Oh, please, no pictures.
00:45:56This is for the house collection, sir.
00:46:01That's going to look as if the drinks weren't very good.
00:46:04Maybe they can paint in a smile.
00:46:06You're through, Marcia.
00:46:07Sure.
00:46:07Let's get out of here.
00:46:08I've got to change.
00:46:20Did you see the show tonight?
00:46:22Most of it.
00:46:22Like it.
00:46:24I like you.
00:46:26Didn't you think the boy with the harp was good?
00:46:28I didn't notice.
00:46:30I was waiting for you.
00:46:32Well, I won't be long.
00:46:35I'll pardon your back.
00:46:37What?
00:46:38About face, Mr. Prosecutor.
00:46:40Oh, sure.
00:46:44Is this visit business or pleasure?
00:46:48Right now, it's your business and my pleasure.
00:46:51We can go somewhere else.
00:46:53People always want to go somewhere else.
00:46:57Do you blame them?
00:46:59It depends.
00:47:01This wall is very uninteresting.
00:47:05Patience, patience.
00:47:07I'm changing my mind.
00:47:09About what?
00:47:10About you.
00:47:12All right.
00:47:13At ease.
00:47:17Changing from what to what?
00:47:20From maybe.
00:47:23Perhaps.
00:47:24Are you always so uncertain about things?
00:47:27Things?
00:47:28People.
00:47:30Aren't you?
00:47:32Sometimes.
00:47:35Birds of a feather.
00:47:39Special prosecutor turns playboy.
00:47:47I should have broken that girl's camera last night.
00:47:50Forget about last night.
00:47:52Have you forgotten about it?
00:47:54Not yet.
00:47:55But I'm trying.
00:47:56Why?
00:47:58It doesn't figure.
00:48:00With what?
00:48:01With you.
00:48:01With you.
00:48:01What are you after?
00:48:08You.
00:48:10Look out, Howard.
00:48:12Look out.
00:48:13For what?
00:48:13Don't play with me.
00:48:15Who's playing?
00:48:16If you meant everything last night, then look out.
00:48:19I told you before everything's easy for you.
00:48:22Too easy.
00:48:23Not always.
00:48:24No?
00:48:25When was it?
00:48:26I don't know.
00:48:27Maybe you're right.
00:48:28Am I?
00:48:28Matter of fact, things have been kind of easy for me.
00:48:31Take the way I got to be special prosecuted.
00:48:33What do you mean?
00:48:35It's as though somebody fixed it.
00:48:36Or had to fix it.
00:48:38Fixed it?
00:48:39Yeah.
00:48:40You must have smiled at someone.
00:48:42The way you smile at me.
00:48:44People should be careful of that smile.
00:48:46People should be careful of a lot of things about you.
00:48:50You know, even angels can get their wings clipped.
00:48:52You got the scissors for my wings?
00:49:00Take a look at this, Malloy, and keep looking at it so it doesn't happen again.
00:49:04That's no way to run a special investigation.
00:49:07Now stay out of trouble.
00:49:12Trouble?
00:49:13Really?
00:49:15Am I a lot of trouble?
00:49:17Women always are.
00:49:18Mm-hmm.
00:49:19Beautiful women, ain't it?
00:49:20Of course.
00:49:22That's what men always like.
00:49:24The beauty?
00:49:25The trouble.
00:49:27Perhaps you'd like this little lady better, Miss Whitfield.
00:49:30No, thank you.
00:49:31This is the one for me.
00:49:33Does he have a name?
00:49:34Yes, it's Benny.
00:49:36Ha, Benvenuto, really.
00:49:38Hmm.
00:49:39I used to have a cat they called Hadrian VII.
00:49:42We ended up calling him Harry.
00:49:44Why, yes.
00:49:45Wasn't that the cat Mr. Pemberton bought for you?
00:49:47Yes.
00:49:48It was.
00:49:50Oh, right.
00:49:51Well, uh, will you take Benny with you, or shall we send him?
00:49:55I'll take him with me.
00:49:56Do you have one of those, those carrying boxes?
00:50:00Oh, yes, the traveling case.
00:50:01I'll get one for you.
00:50:03I always thought you bought cats at a special place, a cat farm or something, where they
00:50:08bred them and trained them.
00:50:10They trained them here, but not out of the last shred of their character.
00:50:15Oh.
00:50:16Anyway, I like to train them myself.
00:50:20What happened to Hadrian VII?
00:50:22I got tired of him.
00:50:27Why did you come over to me at that party, Howard?
00:50:31Because you were the only person who didn't look as if you belonged there.
00:50:35Really?
00:50:37I belong anywhere I'm wanted.
00:50:40Do you?
00:50:41Don't I?
00:50:44This is a nice one.
00:50:45It's finished in leatherette.
00:50:47May I take him?
00:50:47What is this great interest in cats, anyway?
00:50:53I have a friend who doesn't like cats.
00:50:57Can you lend me $35?
00:50:59Why, sure.
00:51:00I think so.
00:51:01It's for Benny.
00:51:03Well, can't I?
00:51:04Would you like to?
00:51:06Oh, you're welcome.
00:51:08It's a pleasure.
00:51:10It's the thought, not the cat.
00:51:11I know he'll be well-behaved.
00:51:13Do you?
00:51:15Here you are.
00:51:15Oh, thank you, sir.
00:51:28Barbara.
00:51:29Barbara, darling.
00:51:30Hi, Lenny.
00:51:31How are you?
00:51:31Fine.
00:51:32Fine.
00:51:33You?
00:51:33Going along.
00:51:34You know Howard Malloy, Lenny?
00:51:35Leonard Lyons.
00:51:36How are you?
00:51:37How do you do?
00:51:38In a hurry, Lenny.
00:51:39Bye.
00:51:40Nice seeing you.
00:51:43Now, who was that?
00:51:44Leonard Lyons, my sweet.
00:51:46He writes that column, The Lyons' Den.
00:52:03Howard, this is too much.
00:52:06Putting cats on your expense sheet.
00:52:08One cat?
00:52:09$35.
00:52:10Fine of duty, Frank.
00:52:11Better stick to the obvious accessories.
00:52:14Oh, by the way, somebody sprung your little gunman friend this morning.
00:52:18What?
00:52:18I ordered him help without fail.
00:52:20Couldn't be done.
00:52:20I don't notice you.
00:52:21Then we should have made some up.
00:52:22You should have.
00:52:23But you've been so busy in nightclubs and bedshops.
00:52:26You're making a fool out of yourself and the whole department.
00:52:28Now, Howard, you've got to stop seeing this Whitfield girl.
00:52:32Playboy prosecutor.
00:52:33I'm seeing her this afternoon, Frank.
00:52:35In about an hour.
00:52:35Oh, yes, pink tights and a high wire in front of City Hall, I suppose.
00:52:39No.
00:52:40It's in her apartment.
00:52:44It has to stop.
00:52:45There's got to be an end to it and right away.
00:52:48You understand, there must be a finish to the whole thing this afternoon.
00:52:51We can't let it go any further.
00:52:53What do you mean, we?
00:52:55I mean, those are my instructions.
00:52:57And I agree with you.
00:52:59You're full of little shocks and surprises these days, aren't you?
00:53:01Yeah.
00:53:02So is Lyons.
00:53:03Our kind of life, anyway.
00:53:06I don't get it.
00:53:07First, I'm told to make sparks with Malloy and I get along fine.
00:53:10Then, told to stop.
00:53:12Put an end to it.
00:53:12This afternoon?
00:53:14How?
00:53:14I don't care how you do it.
00:53:15He's coming here, isn't he?
00:53:16You know that.
00:53:17You told me to invite him.
00:53:18I didn't know whether you reached him or not, is all.
00:53:20Oh, you're so touchy these days.
00:53:23What's the matter, my angel?
00:53:25Upset again?
00:53:26Afraid things are being found out about you and me?
00:53:29Take it easy.
00:53:31I'm talking business now.
00:53:33I know you are.
00:53:34The way you talk business, my pet.
00:53:36You do it so rudely.
00:53:38Just do what you're told.
00:53:39What else do I ever do?
00:53:44When Malloy comes, tell him anything you like.
00:53:47You're going away for a trip.
00:53:49Or you're tired of him.
00:53:50Or a husband has come back.
00:53:52Husband?
00:53:53Whee!
00:53:53Anything you like.
00:53:56But finish it.
00:53:57And if he doesn't take finish for an answer?
00:53:59Get tough.
00:53:59Aggravate him.
00:54:00Consult him.
00:54:01Send him on fire.
00:54:02Now cut it out.
00:54:04Maybe you better get out of town.
00:54:05Maybe you better really go away for a while.
00:54:07Hmm?
00:54:09Take a little trip.
00:54:10Would you miss me?
00:54:11Like my next breath.
00:54:14Who would that be?
00:54:15Probably the man with the dynamite to put under Mr.
00:54:18Now, please.
00:54:18Oh, relax.
00:54:20It's just the man from the liquor store.
00:54:21Malloy likes scotch.
00:54:23Come on in, Sam.
00:54:25Milkman.
00:54:26Hi.
00:54:26Here's your stuff, Miss Whitfield.
00:54:28Charge it.
00:54:28Don't I always, Sam?
00:54:29Sure, Miss Whitfield.
00:54:30I just like to hear you talk.
00:54:32Next time, Sam.
00:54:33So, now that I'm making headway with our handsome prosecutor, now I stop, huh?
00:54:37I'm glad you finally understand what to do.
00:54:40I know what to do, but I certainly don't understand it.
00:54:44Oh, don't worry, honey.
00:54:45Sometimes we all have to do things we don't understand.
00:54:49Until afterwards.
00:54:50Come on, Knuckles, leave our little bright friend to Mr. Malloy.
00:54:56He likes cats, too.
00:55:00What do you mean, you're going away?
00:55:03Something wrong?
00:55:05I, uh, I need a change.
00:55:08Relaxation, sunshine.
00:55:10I think I'll go to Florida someplace.
00:55:12I've been thinking about it for some time, about getting away.
00:55:16Away from anything special?
00:55:18What do you mean?
00:55:19There comes a time when the wisest thing to do is get away.
00:55:22I don't know what you're talking about.
00:55:24Who would I want to get away from?
00:55:27Me, maybe.
00:55:28You?
00:55:31Maybe.
00:55:32That's what I said.
00:55:33All right, because I'm tired of you and me.
00:55:35I don't want any more, and that's that.
00:55:37There.
00:55:38You can't escape from me, darling.
00:55:41Really?
00:55:41Can't I?
00:55:42Ha, ha, ha.
00:55:44You're stuck.
00:55:46You're it.
00:55:46You're in the wrong conversation.
00:55:49Who is it you're afraid of?
00:55:50I'm not afraid of anyone.
00:55:52All right, if you won't tell me, I'll tell you.
00:55:54All right?
00:55:56Tell me, then.
00:55:57There's a hard-eyed little gunman.
00:55:59Calls himself Miller.
00:56:00Other people call him Knuckles.
00:56:02Then there's an artist with a scrubby beard.
00:56:04He painted your portrait.
00:56:05His name's Costner.
00:56:06There's another guy, a very important guy.
00:56:09Calls himself the Angel.
00:56:11He's somebody you might want to say goodbye to.
00:56:13Stop acting like a prosecutor.
00:56:14I don't know any of these people.
00:56:15Never heard of them.
00:56:16Don't lie to me, Mark.
00:56:17Oh, stop it.
00:56:18I'm trying to help you, to warn you.
00:56:20When these people finish using you...
00:56:22Nobody's using me.
00:56:23They murdered Borg and Riggs.
00:56:26And heaven only knows what's happened to Costnerick.
00:56:28Ziggy?
00:56:28Yes, he's been missing for three days.
00:56:30And when they're through with you,
00:56:32you knew what they were up to.
00:56:34Why didn't you stay out of it?
00:56:35I couldn't stay out of it.
00:56:36They wouldn't let me.
00:56:37Now, that's more like it.
00:56:42There's no point in lying.
00:56:44Oh, Howard, hold me.
00:56:46Help me.
00:56:51I can't help you, baby, unless you help me.
00:56:56We need your evidence.
00:56:59Why, you pinching double-crossing.
00:57:02You're using me just like all the rats.
00:57:04Now, look for me.
00:57:05Why, you...
00:57:06These people you're mixed up with, don't roll things.
00:57:08They put a bullet and you will put them out of window.
00:57:11Let go of me.
00:57:14There's a lot of questions for you to answer before you let you go.
00:57:17No, no, no, no, no.
00:57:21No, no, no.
00:57:22Take it easy, baby.
00:57:23Take it easy.
00:57:25Who cares?
00:57:26Who cares?
00:57:27Who cares?
00:57:33Baby, I don't want to hurt you.
00:57:34I'm trying to help you.
00:57:36I'll kill you.
00:57:37No!
00:58:07No!
00:58:37No!
00:59:07Mr. Molloy.
00:59:13Mr. Molloy.
00:59:15Mr. Molloy.
00:59:21Mr. Molloy!
00:59:25What are you doing here?
00:59:27Mr. Molloy.
00:59:31What are you doing here?
00:59:33Mr. Malloy.
00:59:34What are you doing here?
00:59:37The door was open, and I came in.
00:59:40I couldn't see what was happening.
00:59:43Nothing was happening.
00:59:44She pushed me, that's all.
00:59:47Believe, she's dead.
00:59:49Dead?
00:59:50Barbara.
00:59:51Barbara was alive when I passed out.
00:59:54You must have come in here.
00:59:55No.
00:59:55Why would I have waited for you to awaken if I...
00:59:57Your fingerprints are on this gun.
00:59:59And so are yours.
01:00:00Yeah, but I know I didn't kill her.
01:00:03Please.
01:00:04What are you doing?
01:00:05Calling her.
01:00:06Wait.
01:00:07I swear I had nothing to do with this.
01:00:08I swear, I swear.
01:00:10Then what are you doing here?
01:00:12When you got mixed up with the Crusaders, Costa Rica,
01:00:14you got mixed up with murder.
01:00:15I did not intend to get mixed up with them.
01:00:18It was all because of that woman.
01:00:20Barbara?
01:00:21No, not Barbara.
01:00:23Grace Hartley.
01:00:26Grace Hartley?
01:00:27Yes.
01:00:28She's the one who is behind all this.
01:00:30She's the one who is their leader.
01:00:33Can you prove that?
01:00:34I was painting her portrait.
01:00:36I was in her library,
01:00:38and I discovered some papers
01:00:39that I thought interesting and important.
01:00:42What kind of papers?
01:00:44Oh, names, figures.
01:00:47These Crusaders make money, you know.
01:00:50These papers told me a lot about
01:00:51where they get the money
01:00:53and what they do with it.
01:00:55I took them away with me
01:00:56for what they were worth.
01:00:58Blackmail?
01:01:00Please.
01:01:00Grace Hartley could help me in my career.
01:01:02She had influence,
01:01:04and she had provided me,
01:01:05among other comforts,
01:01:06with my first one-man show.
01:01:08It opens tomorrow
01:01:09at the Contemporary Museum.
01:01:10You told me for a time I met you.
01:01:12Where are these papers?
01:01:13I want to see them.
01:01:13At the museum.
01:01:15Yes?
01:01:15They're hidden behind
01:01:16one of my paintings.
01:01:18They are between the canvas
01:01:19and the backing of the frame.
01:01:23Please.
01:01:24No, you do not believe
01:01:25I killed Barbara.
01:01:28Oh, yeah, I'm quickly there.
01:01:33Grace.
01:01:36Oh, I thought you'd gone.
01:01:39We saw your car outside.
01:01:40We decided to wait.
01:01:42What's going on upstairs?
01:01:43Never mind, nothing.
01:01:44Everything, give me your gun.
01:01:50That don't make sense.
01:01:52It does.
01:01:52Give me your gun.
01:01:53Give me your.
01:01:54Where's the water?
01:01:55He's upstairs, my father.
01:01:57What's going on?
01:01:58I haven't time to talk.
01:02:00Don't wait around, dear.
01:02:01You might get into trouble.
01:02:03Where are you going now?
01:02:04I have an important call for me.
01:02:05I'll book me.
01:02:11Bring the car around for me.
01:02:13Let's see what she's up to.
01:02:14Look, call Homicide for me, will you?
01:02:21Barbara Whitfield's been murdered.
01:02:23Tell him to come to 689 East 57th Street.
01:02:26Yeah, I'm still there.
01:02:28But when the boys get here,
01:02:29I'll be on my way
01:02:30to the Contemporary Museum
01:02:31with Sigmund Kosterich.
01:02:33Got it?
01:02:39Just a minute.
01:02:40Just a minute.
01:02:41I'm coming as fast as I can.
01:02:43I'm sorry, ma'am.
01:02:49We're closed for the night.
01:02:50But I just want to go upstairs
01:02:51to one of the gals.
01:02:52I can't let you do that, ma'am.
01:02:54No visitors after hours.
01:02:55I was here earlier
01:02:56and I left my first.
01:02:57Well, you just have to come back
01:02:58in the morning, ma'am.
01:02:59I got my orders.
01:03:00Come on.
01:03:02Come on.
01:03:10Come on.
01:03:12Oh, my God.
01:03:42It's a watchman.
01:03:44Yes.
01:03:45The race has been busy.
01:03:47Better move the body away from the door, like against the wall.
01:03:50Sure.
01:03:51In case somebody comes by and looks in.
01:03:53Where do you suppose she went?
01:03:55Don't ask me.
01:03:56There's a light up those stairs.
01:03:58Let's go.
01:03:59Let's go.
01:04:12The place is wide open at any hour of the night.
01:04:23There must be a guard around somewhere.
01:04:25You know where the exhibition is?
01:04:27Of course I hung it myself.
01:04:28Let's go then.
01:04:29It's this way.
01:04:42There's a forest here too.
01:04:43Sure.
01:04:44There's no rain.
01:04:45There's a forest here.
01:04:46There's a forest here.
01:04:47There's a forest here.
01:04:48Oh, yes.
01:04:49How is that?
01:04:50Oh, yes.
01:04:52Oh, yes.
01:04:53That's what it looks like.
01:04:54The forest is here.
01:04:55First you head down into the water.
01:04:56All right.
01:04:57Once you've got a forest fire.
01:04:59I know that you're going to hit the forest.
01:05:01...I don't get a forest fire.
01:05:02But there are no trees.
01:05:03You'll never be going to it.
01:05:04You'll never change it.
01:05:05I can't believe that you got a tree.
01:05:06Besides that, you were going to a tree.
01:05:08So you're going to a tree.
01:05:09I need to have a tree.
01:05:11It's in here.
01:05:41There seems to be somebody in there.
01:05:48Must be a guard.
01:06:11Agostini.
01:06:18Grace Hartley.
01:06:23She must have heard what I told Molloy.
01:06:29She must have heard what I told Molloy.
01:06:48Why, Peggy.
01:07:03You heard in Barbara's apartment what I told Molloy.
01:07:08Every word you said.
01:07:11You killed Barbara.
01:07:14I knew in the end you would harm her.
01:07:17And anyone else who gets in my way.
01:07:41She's been this far.
01:07:45I knew she was.
01:07:51It's right for you.
01:07:55Here we go.
01:07:59Look at me.
01:08:02I'll take both, Mrs. Hartley.
01:08:32You badly hurt?
01:08:47No, I, I, I caught her trying to find the papers.
01:08:52I had to get them.
01:08:55I was not too quick.
01:08:58I had no gun.
01:09:00Where did she get you?
01:09:02We were the same kind of target for her, just under the shoulder.
01:09:09She killed Barbara.
01:09:12She was in the apartment and she heard me telling you where the papers were.
01:09:18She killed Barbara.
01:09:19Aloy, where are you?
01:09:21In here.
01:09:22This looks like the last act of Hamlet.
01:09:28It's the last act for all kinds of things.
01:09:30Grace Hartley.
01:09:34I'll tell you about it later.
01:09:36There's part of it.
01:09:37All right, Carolyn.
01:09:38Is Carolyn here?
01:09:39She brought her here.
01:09:40I made her way down the corridor.
01:09:41It's kind of noisy in here.
01:09:42Howard.
01:09:52Howard.
01:09:53Howard.
01:09:54Howard.
01:09:55Come and tell me about all this.
01:10:00Give me time, we'll put it all together.
01:10:14I'll tell you about it later.
01:10:28I'll tell you about it later.
01:10:30I'll tell you about it later.
01:10:31I'll tell you about it later.
01:10:33I'll tell you about it later.
01:10:35I'll tell you about it later.
01:10:37I'll tell you about it later.
01:10:39I'll tell you about it later.
01:10:41I'll tell you about it later.
01:10:43I'll tell you about it later.
01:10:45I'll tell you about it later.
01:10:47Well, I'll tell you about it later.
01:10:49I'll tell you about it later.
01:10:51I'll tell you about it later.
01:11:05THE END
