- How do you know that, Doctor?
- By the white foam around her mouth.

171
00:12:37,883 --> 00:12:40,302
It's proof she drowned.

172
00:12:40,427 --> 00:12:42,972
- New?
- New.

173
00:12:43,097 --> 00:12:45,015
- (Officer) OK, Lieutenant?
- OK, Doctor?

174
00:12:45,140 --> 00:12:48,143
- The body's yours.
- Start working, gentlemen.

175
00:12:49,895 --> 00:12:51,480
Just smudges.

176
00:12:56,819 --> 00:12:58,320
Dan.

177
00:13:01,073 --> 00:13:03,993
Men's pyjamas.
Found them in the laundry hamper.

178
00:13:04,118 --> 00:13:06,036
No visible laundry marks.
No label.

179
00:13:06,161 --> 00:13:08,831
Real fancy.
You don't get these for 3.95.

180
00:13:08,956 --> 00:13:11,041
Nick, pick up these pyjamas
on your way out.

181
00:13:11,166 --> 00:13:13,585
I want them checked
right down the line.

182
00:13:15,296 --> 00:13:17,298
What time does the elevator boy
come on in the morning?

183
00:13:17,423 --> 00:13:20,926
- Seven o'clock.
- Martha, who belongs to these?

184
00:13:21,051 --> 00:13:24,305
Oh, I don't know, sir.
I'm so unstrung.

185
00:13:24,430 --> 00:13:26,682
I know you are,
but I think you'd like to help us.

186
00:13:26,807 --> 00:13:28,726
Oh, I would. I would.

187
00:13:28,851 --> 00:13:30,436
She was such a sweet girl.

188
00:13:30,561 --> 00:13:34,732
A little wild by my standards maybe,
but live and let live, I say.

189
00:13:34,857 --> 00:13:37,735
- She always treated me fine.
- The pyjamas, Martha.

190
00:13:38,485 --> 00:13:41,989
- Oh, I'm all in pieces.
- Martha.

191
00:13:42,656 --> 00:13:47,286
Well, they could belong
to Mr Henderson.

192
00:13:47,411 --> 00:13:49,663
What's Mr Henderson's first name?

193
00:13:49,788 --> 00:13:52,875
Uh... Philip, I think.
He lives in Baltimore.

194
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,086
At least that's what she told me.
I only saw him once.

195
00:13:56,211 --> 00:13:59,089
All I know is he was
an admirer of Miss Dexter's.

196
00:13:59,214 --> 00:14:00,215
Seems likely.

197
00:14:00,341 --> 00:14:03,260
Oh, I'm all in little pieces.
What a nightmare.

198
00:14:03,385 --> 00:14:06,305
You're being a great help to us, Martha.

199
00:14:06,430 --> 00:14:08,098
How old would you say
Mr Henderson is?

200
00:14:08,223 --> 00:14:10,809
Oh, 50 about.

201
00:14:10,934 --> 00:14:14,188
- What does he look like?
- Well, like I say, I only saw him once.

202
00:14:14,313 --> 00:14:17,149
He was coming in
just as I was going home.

203
00:14:17,274 --> 00:14:21,070
He's quite tall.
On the thin side.

204
00:14:21,195 --> 00:14:23,530
Anything else?
Uh, does he wear glasses? Does he...

205
00:14:23,655 --> 00:14:27,493
- Oh, no, no. That's all I can remember.
- Mm-hmm.

206
00:14:27,618 --> 00:14:30,454
- Do you know Henderson?
- Never saw him.

207
00:14:30,579 --> 00:14:34,458
- Shoot a wire on this to Baltimore.
- (Doctor) Lieutenant.

208
00:14:34,583 --> 00:14:38,337
Here's the ring she was wearing.
I'll phone you after the autopsy.

209
00:14:38,462 --> 00:14:40,964
- Have fun.
- Always do.

210
00:14:44,551 --> 00:14:48,222
Sir, that ring...
it's a black star sapphire.

211
00:14:48,347 --> 00:14:49,515
Very rare.

212
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,892
She said her brother
sent it to her from India.

213
00:14:52,017 --> 00:14:55,020
- Did she have any other jewellery?
- Oh, a lot.

214
00:14:55,145 --> 00:14:57,815
Valuable.
She kept it in a jewel box, locked.

215
00:14:57,940 --> 00:15:00,526
- Let's go get it.
- No.

216
00:15:00,651 --> 00:15:02,152
Please.

217
00:15:05,572 --> 00:15:07,574
OK. You can pick up
that bottle under the bed now.

218
00:15:07,699 --> 00:15:10,202
- Check.
- That one there.

219
00:15:10,327 --> 00:15:12,246
Nick, can we open a drawer
on this table?

220
00:15:12,371 --> 00:15:13,455
Yeah, I've gone over it.

221
00:15:13,580 --> 00:15:18,627
- What are you doing to the furniture?
- Investigating it.

222
00:15:18,752 --> 00:15:20,254
(Swenson) Oh, she had chamois bags

223
00:15:20,379 --> 00:15:22,631
full of bracelets and rings,
diamond rings!

224
00:15:22,756 --> 00:15:25,092
- They're gone.
- Can you describe the jewellery?

225
00:15:25,217 --> 00:15:28,387
- Well, most of it, I think.
- Fine. Shaeffer, will you...

226
00:15:28,512 --> 00:15:29,930
Yes, sir.

227
00:15:30,639 --> 00:15:32,975
Pretty little slumber pellets.

228
00:15:33,100 --> 00:15:35,185
Jimmy, I want to go on questioning
those two in there.

229
00:15:35,310 --> 00:15:36,645
You start your legwork.

230
00:15:36,770 --> 00:15:39,189
Take the number of that prescription,
see the druggist.

231
00:15:39,314 --> 00:15:40,899
From him, go to the doctor.

232
00:15:41,024 --> 00:15:43,610
Then go to the dress shop
she worked at.

233
00:15:43,735 --> 00:15:45,154
Right.

234
00:15:47,406 --> 00:15:49,658
Lieutenant, the newspapermen
are here.

235
00:15:49,783 --> 00:15:51,618
OK. I'm comin'.

236
00:15:51,743 --> 00:15:54,830
- Getting any fingerprints, Nick?
- Nothing good so far.

237
00:15:54,955 --> 00:15:57,207
Fragmentary print smudges.
That's all.

238
00:15:57,332 --> 00:16:01,003
Looks to me like a heavy case.
A heavy case.

did Miss Dexter
have any other men friends?

Yes, sir. What can I do for you?
Have a seat.

274
00:18:21,101 --> 00:18:24,688
Thank you. I want to ask you
about a patient of yours.

275
00:18:24,813 --> 00:18:26,982
- Jean Dexter.
- Dexter?

276
00:18:27,107 --> 00:18:30,527
You wrote a prescription for her
about two weeks ago, sleeping pills.

277
00:18:31,570 --> 00:18:35,240
Yes. A blonde girl.
Very handsome. I remember now.

278
00:18:35,365 --> 00:18:37,492
Dexter.
You from the local precinct, Officer?

279
00:18:37,618 --> 00:18:38,869
Homicide.

280
00:18:38,994 --> 00:18:40,954
Oh, don't tell me
that girl murdered someone.

281
00:18:41,079 --> 00:18:44,583
- Someone murdered her.
- What? When?

282
00:18:44,708 --> 00:18:46,043
Last night sometime.

283
00:18:46,668 --> 00:18:48,003
What do you want to know?

284
00:18:48,128 --> 00:18:50,797
Well, whatever you can tell me
about her.

285
00:18:50,922 --> 00:18:52,924
She needed a good spanking.

286
00:18:53,050 --> 00:18:55,802
Took stimulants by day
and needed sleeping pills at night.

287
00:18:55,927 --> 00:19:00,265
I told her to go slow,
but, no, life was too short for her.

288
00:19:00,390 --> 00:19:03,685
Can you tell me anything
about the way she lived, her friends?

289
00:19:03,810 --> 00:19:08,065
No. Nothing.
I saw her only that one visit.

290
00:19:08,982 --> 00:19:11,151
Well, I guess that's all, Doc.

291

Oh, you! You're so uncooperative
I could slam you.

299
00:19:36,176 --> 00:19:38,845
Somewhere in the back
of her pretty head was the fixed notion

300
00:19:38,970 --> 00:19:41,640
that she couldn't be happy
without being rich.

301
00:19:41,765 --> 00:19:43,266
I don't think Jean
ever would have married

302

real money.

303
00:19:46,186 --> 00:19:48,105
Why did you fire her?

Gentlemen sometimes
come here with their wives.

305
00:19:50,273 --> 00:19:51,692
When Jean Dexter modelled,

306
00:19:51,817 --> 00:19:54,820
many of them left my shop
a little too interested in her.

307
00:19:54,945 --> 00:19:56,113
Their wives didn't like it.

308
00:19:56,238 --> 00:19:59,408
- And neither did I.
- I see.

309
00:19:59,533 --> 00:20:03,370
Mmm, can I talk to her friend now,
the model you spoke about?

310
00:20:03,495 --> 00:20:06,665
Ruth Morrison?
Yes, I'll call her.

311
00:20:06,790 --> 00:20:09,543
- It's gettin' late. We better go.
- So what if we're late?

312
00:20:09,668 --> 00:20:12,587
- The boss'll holler.
- Let him holler. Strengthen his lungs.

313
00:20:13,213 --> 00:20:16,258
Miss Morrison, I understand
you modelled with Jean Dexter.

314
00:20:16,383 --> 00:20:19,219
Do you know anybody
who has cause to dislike her?

315
00:20:19,344 --> 00:20:21,513
- No.
- How about Mrs Henderson?

316
00:20:21,638 --> 00:20:22,723
Who's she?

317
00:20:22,848 --> 00:20:26,017
Well, Mr Henderson and Miss Dexter
are quite friendly, aren't they?

318
00:20:26,143 --> 00:20:28,228
She never told me
of a man named Henderson.

319
00:20:28,353 --> 00:20:31,523
- Are you sure?
- Really, Mr Halloran. Jean's my friend.

320
00:20:31,648 --> 00:20:33,483
I don't think I want to answer
any more questions

321

unless you tell me
why you're asking them.

322

- Hey! Look at the whale!
- A whale should stay underwater!

326
00:20:48,165 --> 00:20:49,499
Hey!

327
00:20:50,375 --> 00:20:52,878
I'll slay ya!
I'll cut your heads off!

328
00:20:53,003 --> 00:20:55,005
- Stop, you cowards!
- Such language!

329
00:20:55,130 --> 00:20:58,133
- In front of a police station too.
- Ah, you...

No report yet on fingerprints

331

to Lakewood to see the girl's parents.

- Have him in.

00:21:22,699 --> 00:21:24,201
How do you do?

337
00:21:25,076 --> 00:21:27,913
I've, uh... never been
in a police station before.

338
00:21:28,038 --> 00:21:29,372
Why'd you want
to see me, Lieutenant?

339
00:21:29,498 --> 00:21:31,249
Just a routine check on something.

340
00:21:31,875 --> 00:21:36,797
Did you ever run
across a girl named, uh... Dexter?

341
00:21:36,922 --> 00:21:39,674
Jean Dexter?
Why, yes. We're good friends.

342
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,969
- And how long have you known her?
- A little over a year.

343
00:21:43,094 --> 00:21:45,847
She's a model. She helps me out
in my business occasionally.

344
00:21:45,972 --> 00:21:48,308
- And what business is that?
- Merchandising consultant.

345
00:21:48,433 --> 00:21:51,686
I, uh, help out-of-town buyers
get woollens, dress skirts,

346
00:21:51,812 --> 00:21:53,480
anything in the textile line.

347
00:21:53,605 --> 00:21:55,440
And you pay Miss Dexter a salary?

348
00:21:55,565 --> 00:21:58,819
No. Just a bonus from time to time
when she does something.

349
00:21:58,944 --> 00:22:00,445
Like what?

350
00:22:00,570 --> 00:22:02,989
Uh, modelling,
entertaining somebody for me.

351
00:22:03,573 --> 00:22:07,911
- When did you see her last?
- Yesterday. We had lunch together.

352
00:22:08,036 --> 00:22:09,037
Why?

353
00:22:09,162 --> 00:22:12,165
- And you haven't seen her since?
- No.

354
00:22:13,291 --> 00:22:14,709
Is there anything the matter?

355
00:22:15,335 --> 00:22:16,336
She's dead.

356
00:22:17,838 --> 00:22:19,339
Murdered.

357
00:22:28,390 --> 00:22:29,975
- Hi, Perelli.
- Hiya.

358
00:22:30,100 --> 00:22:32,185
Just sit here a moment, please.

359
00:22:33,854 --> 00:22:35,689
- Dan here?
- Inside talking to the guy.

360
00:22:35,814 --> 00:22:37,649
Lieutenant Muldoon.

361
00:22:39,025 --> 00:22:40,610
Dan? Jimmy.

362
00:22:40,735 --> 00:22:43,363
Got a girl here.
Ruth Morrison.

363
00:22:43,488 --> 00:22:45,657
Friend of Dexter's.
Models at Grace Hewitt's.

364
00:22:45,782 --> 00:22:47,868
Hold it. I'll call her.

365
00:22:48,702 --> 00:22:50,704
This is terrible.

366
00:22:50,829 --> 00:22:52,831
I feel sick over it.

367
00:22:53,707 --> 00:22:56,293
My hands haven't trembled like this
since I was in the South Pacific.

368
00:22:56,418 --> 00:22:59,754
- Oh? What happened to you there?
- Oh, my first time in combat.

369
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:02,299
- What outfit were you in?
- 77th.

370
00:23:03,174 --> 00:23:05,760
Say, I think I had a cousin
in that one.

371
00:23:05,886 --> 00:23:08,138
- It's a New York division, isn't it?
- Yes.

372
00:23:08,263 --> 00:23:09,681
Corporal James Dennis.

373
00:23:10,807 --> 00:23:14,019
No. I don't remember him.
I was a captain.

374
00:23:14,644 --> 00:23:17,230
Thank you, Dave.
We won't need you anymore.

375
00:23:17,355 --> 00:23:18,857
Excuse me.

376
00:23:20,859 --> 00:23:25,030
We want to find the person
who murdered Jean Dexter, Mr Niles.

377
00:23:25,155 --> 00:23:26,990
Anything I can tell you.

378
00:23:28,325 --> 00:23:30,994
You know anybody who might
have had a reason to kill her?

379
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,121
Everybody liked Jean.

380
00:23:33,872 --> 00:23:39,210
Do you happen to know a friend
of Miss Dexter's called Ruth Morrison?

381
00:23:39,336 --> 00:23:42,088
Ruth Morrison? No.

382
00:23:42,213 --> 00:23:44,466
Yes. She's a model, isn't she?

383
00:23:44,591 --> 00:23:47,594
Yeah, I think so.
How well do you know her?

384
00:23:47,719 --> 00:23:50,889
Oh, I... I met her at parties
once or twice that Jean gave.

385
00:23:51,014 --> 00:23:53,183
And how long
did you know Miss Dexter?

386
00:23:53,308 --> 00:23:55,143
About a year.

387
00:23:55,268 --> 00:23:58,521
- See her often?
- Why, yes. I, uh...

388
00:24:00,106 --> 00:24:04,444
- Frank, why are you here?
- Why, uh... hello, Ruth.

389
00:24:04,569 --> 00:24:06,655
You don't think he could have been
involved in Jean's death?

390
00:24:06,780 --> 00:24:09,199
- He hardly knew her.
- How do you know?

391
00:24:09,324 --> 00:24:11,826
Well, of course I know.
Frank and I are engaged.

392
00:24:12,953 --> 00:24:14,454
Congratulations.

393

Jean was my friend.

- Oh, all right. Goodbye.
- Goodbye.

414
00:25:30,030 --> 00:25:32,449
- Lovely young girl, isn't she?
- Yeah.

415
00:25:32,574 --> 00:25:34,659
- Lovely long legs.
- Yeah.

- Keep looking at 'em.
- Pleasure.

418
00:25:42,459 --> 00:25:43,877
Yeah.

Uh-huh. Thanks.

420
00:25:47,881 --> 00:25:51,384
Couple of things.
One: medical examiner called in.

421
00:25:51,509 --> 00:25:54,179
- Dexter died between 1 and 2am.
- I see.

422
00:25:54,304 --> 00:25:59,976
And, uh... here are a few
interesting items on our friend inside.

423
00:26:06,232 --> 00:26:09,402
- Mr Niles.
- These things happen, Lieutenant.

424
00:26:09,527 --> 00:26:11,529
I told you I didn't know
Ruth Morrison very well.

425
00:26:11,654 --> 00:26:13,490
Now you know
that Ruth and I are engaged.

426
00:26:13,948 --> 00:26:14,949
Can't blame a man

427
00:26:15,075 --> 00:26:17,494
for wanting to keep his fiancée
out of a murder case, can you?

428
00:26:17,619 --> 00:26:20,121
I never had a fiancée
in a murder case.

429
00:26:20,246 --> 00:26:22,082
Just between ourselves,

430
00:26:22,207 --> 00:26:23,750
you never told your fiancée

431
00:26:23,875 --> 00:26:26,544
what good friends
you and Miss Dexter were, did you?

432
00:26:26,669 --> 00:26:29,005
Uh, Ruth's a bit jealous, Lieutenant.

433
00:26:29,130 --> 00:26:30,632
You understand.

434
00:26:32,926 --> 00:26:35,178
Now I wonder if there's anything else
you told us about yourself

435
00:26:35,303 --> 00:26:38,223
that wasn't strictly true.

436
00:26:38,348 --> 00:26:39,933
I have no reason
to lie to you, Lieutenant.

437
00:26:41,893 --> 00:26:43,394
I have a report in front of me

438
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:47,607
that says you never were
in the South Pacific, Mr Niles.

439
00:26:47,732 --> 00:26:50,735
You weren't in the 77th Division.

440
00:26:50,860 --> 00:26:52,946
You weren't an officer.

441
00:26:53,071 --> 00:26:55,323
You weren't even in the army.

442
00:26:56,199 --> 00:26:57,951
All right. I'm a heel.

443
00:26:58,076 --> 00:26:59,577
I tried to enlist.
They wouldn't take me.

444
00:26:59,702 --> 00:27:02,122
I got a trick knee from college football.
I just couldn't get in.

445
00:27:02,247 --> 00:27:04,749
That's all right with me,
but why lie about it?

446
00:27:04,874 --> 00:27:06,835
I don't know.

447
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,129
Just foolish pride, I guess.

448
00:27:09,796 --> 00:27:12,715
How did you spend
the war years, Mr Niles?

449
00:27:13,216 --> 00:27:15,969
I was in Chicago.
Same business I have now.

450
00:27:16,094 --> 00:27:19,639
- Been at it long?
- Six or seven years, since college.

451
00:27:19,764 --> 00:27:22,851
- Doing pretty well, huh?
- Very good these days.

452
00:27:24,144 --> 00:27:26,146
Perelli back? Send him in.

453
00:27:28,064 --> 00:27:29,566
(Door opens, closes)

454
00:27:29,691 --> 00:27:32,026
Well, what can you tell us
about Mr Niles's business?

455
00:27:34,529 --> 00:27:36,030
He ain't got a business.

456
00:27:38,616 --> 00:27:41,703
It's a dodge.
No credit rating.

457
00:27:41,828 --> 00:27:45,915
Dropped from his university club
for non-payment of dues.

458
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:50,670
Still owes a food and liquor bill
of 110 dollars and 83 cents.

459
00:27:54,090 --> 00:27:55,967
All right. Thank you.

460
00:28:00,388 --> 00:28:01,890
(Door closes)

461
00:28:04,392 --> 00:28:08,062
Well, Mr Niles,
I've been 38 years on the force.

462
00:28:08,188 --> 00:28:11,858
I've been a cop on the beat.
I've been with the Safe and Loft Squad.

463
00:28:11,983 --> 00:28:15,486
I've been for 22 years
with the Homicide Squad.

464
00:28:15,612 --> 00:28:19,115
But in a lifetime of interrogatin'
and investigatin',

465
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:23,453
you are probably the biggest
and most willing liar I ever met.

466
00:28:24,996 --> 00:28:26,080
All right. I'm a liar.

467
00:28:26,206 --> 00:28:29,250
I'm a circus character altogether,
but I didn't kill Jean Dexter!

468
00:28:29,375 --> 00:28:31,878
I told you where I was last night.
Why don't you check on that?

469
00:28:32,003 --> 00:28:35,006
- We're doing that right now.
- OK. That's fine.

470
00:28:36,966 --> 00:28:38,468
I'm sorry.

471
00:28:39,010 --> 00:28:42,263
I'm not angry at you, Lieutenant.
You're just doing your job.

472
00:28:42,388 --> 00:28:45,225
The truth is I'm ashamed of myself.

473
00:28:46,768 --> 00:28:50,355
My parents had money and position.

474
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:54,817
But since I got out of college
I haven't been much of a success.

475
00:28:54,943 --> 00:28:56,361
I'm trying to keep up a front.

476
00:28:56,486 --> 00:28:58,905
But I'm only
a small-time liar, Lieutenant.

477
00:28:59,030 --> 00:29:01,449
On important things,
I'm straight as a die.

478
00:29:01,574 --> 00:29:04,744
Ask me anything you want.
Jean was my friend. I want to help you.

479
00:29:05,662 --> 00:29:09,332
You spent nearly 50 dollars last night
at the Trinidad Club.

480
00:29:09,457 --> 00:29:11,459
Where'd you get the money?

481
00:29:13,836 --> 00:29:16,756
I play a sharp game of bridge
with Park Avenue friends.

482
00:29:16,881 --> 00:29:19,550
I take a flier on the stock market
on inside tips.

483
00:29:19,676 --> 00:29:22,095
When I'm hard up, I borrow money.

484
00:29:22,887 --> 00:29:23,972
That's the truth.

485
00:29:26,474 --> 00:29:28,142
Thank you.

486
00:29:28,268 --> 00:29:30,520
Now, about this man Henderson.

487
00:29:30,645 --> 00:29:33,815
You say you met him only once,
in Miss Dexter's apartment.

488
00:29:33,940 --> 00:29:39,612
- Would you describe him to me?
- Well, uh... medium height. Husky.

489
00:29:39,737 --> 00:29:43,157
Wore glasses.
Looked to be about 35.

490
00:29:43,283 --> 00:29:45,535
- Mm-hmm.
- (Intercom buzzes)

491
00:29:46,661 --> 00:29:48,663
Lieutenant Muldoon.

492
00:29:48,788 --> 00:29:50,373
Yeah. Yeah.

493
00:29:52,625 --> 00:29:55,628
Oh. Oh, all right.

494
00:29:59,340 --> 00:30:02,760
Well, Mr Niles, after telling me
a lot of stories about a lot of things

495
00:30:02,885 --> 00:30:04,721
you apparently told me
an accurate story

496
00:30:04,846 --> 00:30:06,180
of where you were last night.

497
00:30:06,931 --> 00:30:09,434
Four witnesses have placed you
in the Trinidad Club

498
00:30:09,559 --> 00:30:12,061
at the time Jean Dexter died.

499
00:30:13,563 --> 00:30:15,398
I guess you're in the clear, Mr Niles.

500
00:30:15,523 --> 00:30:18,359
I told you.
I don't lie about important things.

501
00:30:19,861 --> 00:30:23,031
- Any more questions?
- I guess not.

502
00:30:24,073 --> 00:30:27,577
I'm not as much of a heel
as I sound, Lieutenant.

503
00:30:27,702 --> 00:30:30,705
I'm trying to catch on
to a job in industry.

504
00:30:32,165 --> 00:30:34,584
Maybe someday I will.

505
00:30:34,709 --> 00:30:36,377
I wish you luck.

506
00:30:37,587 --> 00:30:39,839
- Goodbye then.
- Goodbye.

507
00:30:41,758 --> 00:30:43,760
Put two men on him in three shifts.

508
00:30:43,885 --> 00:30:46,888
And listen. Not a word about him
to the newspapermen.

509
00:30:47,013 --> 00:30:49,599
Niles isn't even in this case.

510
00:30:55,646 --> 00:30:59,650
Spent 50 dollars last night,
he says.

511
00:30:59,776 --> 00:31:03,112
On 50 bucks a week
I supported a wife and raised two kids.

512
00:31:03,237 --> 00:31:04,906
(Chuckles) Sure.

513
00:31:05,031 --> 00:31:07,867
But you were brought up
on the wrong side of the tracks.

514
00:31:09,285 --> 00:31:11,120
Fifty bucks!

515
00:31:14,791 --> 00:31:16,876
(Narrator) 'It's been a long day, Niles.

516
00:31:17,001 --> 00:31:19,670
'But now you can go
wherever you like.

517
00:31:19,796 --> 00:31:22,548
'Except that two men
will follow you day and night.

518
00:31:22,673 --> 00:31:27,345
'Two men in three shifts.
That makes six altogether.

519
00:31:32,558 --> 00:31:34,394
'Or is it seven?'

520
00:31:37,605 --> 00:31:41,776
(Dave) The only good fingerprints we got
were of the maid and Jean Dexter.

521
00:31:41,901 --> 00:31:45,154
Several men from the 20th Squad
are still working on the case.

522
00:31:45,279 --> 00:31:48,366
The Baltimore Police say
they can't locate anyone so far

523
00:31:48,491 --> 00:31:50,993
who answers Henderson's description.

524
00:31:51,119 --> 00:31:54,539
And the pyjamas in Dexter's apartment
show nothing under the X-ray.

525
00:31:54,664 --> 00:31:57,750
They're an English import
and never been washed.

526
00:31:57,875 --> 00:32:00,545
All stores that carry the line
are being checked.

527
00:32:00,670 --> 00:32:02,422
That's it, Captain.

528
00:32:02,547 --> 00:32:03,881
Very little to go on.

529
00:32:04,006 --> 00:32:06,926
This man Niles,
how's his alibi for last night?

530
00:32:07,051 --> 00:32:09,137
He seems in the clear.

531
00:32:09,262 --> 00:32:12,265
So does everyone else
we connected with so far.

532
00:32:12,390 --> 00:32:16,894
So, that means Mr Henderson
is our only suspect.

533
00:32:17,019 --> 00:32:21,524
Well... what about this man?

534
00:32:22,608 --> 00:32:24,444
- Think so, Dan?
- Mm-hmm.

535
00:32:24,569 --> 00:32:25,570
Who's he?

536
00:32:25,695 --> 00:32:29,115
McGillicuddy is Dan's name
for any unknown party in the case.

537
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,410
- You mean two men did the murder?
- Maybe there were five.

538
00:32:32,535 --> 00:32:34,370
All I know
is there was more than one.

539
00:32:34,495 --> 00:32:35,580
How do you know that?

540
00:32:35,705 --> 00:32:38,249
Excuse me. Now look.

541
00:32:38,374 --> 00:32:42,712
This is a bed. For the moment,
I'm an attractive little lady.

542
00:32:42,837 --> 00:32:46,174
How would you force the anaesthetic
on me, Mr Henderson?

543
00:32:46,299 --> 00:32:49,135
Well, I'd, uh, take the anaesthetic...

544
00:32:49,260 --> 00:32:52,263
I guess the best way
would be to stand behind.

545
00:32:52,388 --> 00:32:53,890
Like this.

546
00:32:54,557 --> 00:32:57,977
Correct. That's the way
one man would do it.

547
00:32:58,102 --> 00:33:00,521
But we just got these photographs.

548
00:33:00,646 --> 00:33:03,232
They show finger marks
on both arms.

549
00:33:03,357 --> 00:33:06,611
That means a man stood behind her
and held her arms with both hands

550
00:33:06,736 --> 00:33:09,655
while Henderson, or someone else,
applied the anaesthetic.

551
00:33:09,780 --> 00:33:12,366
A strong man,
with thick, strong fingers.

552
00:33:12,492 --> 00:33:15,828
And that man
was my old, old friend

553
00:33:15,953 --> 00:33:18,539
Joseph P. McGillicuddy.

554
00:33:18,664 --> 00:33:20,416
You're right, Dan.

555
00:33:20,541 --> 00:33:22,460
Now we have to find two men.

556
00:33:22,585 --> 00:33:25,755
You'll have to find them.
I'm busy with half a dozen other cases.

557
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,883
- Gentlemen.
- So long.

558
00:33:29,008 --> 00:33:31,010
- Need me anymore?
- No.

566

Are you the officer in charge
of the bathtub murder?

00:34:08,214 --> 00:34:10,132

- Ah.

- Yeah?

570
00:34:16,597 --> 00:34:20,851
Yes. My granddaddy is sheriff
of Tuckahoe County. Mississippi.

- Yes.

- Yes, I know.

574
00:34:31,654 --> 00:34:34,532
So many men are crazy about me.
I...

575
00:34:34,657 --> 00:34:37,743
- I just don't know what to do.
- Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk.

576
00:34:39,745 --> 00:34:42,248
- Bye now.
- Bye.

577
00:34:43,207 --> 00:34:44,959
Oh, yes.

578
00:34:45,084 --> 00:34:48,421
About your murder...
I almost forgot.

579
00:34:48,546 --> 00:34:52,550
We'll have to have the front tooth
of a hound dog.

580
00:34:52,675 --> 00:34:55,970
- Yes, ma'am.
- Bury it 50 feet from the grave.

581
00:34:56,095 --> 00:35:01,350
Then, on the third night after the first
full moon, the murderer will confess.

582
00:35:01,475 --> 00:35:02,977
Thank you, ma'am.

583
00:35:03,102 --> 00:35:06,439
Prices are awfully high
these days, aren't they?

584
00:35:06,564 --> 00:35:10,318
- Uh, uh, y-y-yes, ma'am.
- Yeah.

585
00:35:10,443 --> 00:35:12,111
You're sweet.

586
00:35:16,949 --> 00:35:18,784

Hello, honey.
Bet it was hot in Manhattan today.

610
00:36:55,548 --> 00:36:58,551
I was too busy to be hot.
On a new case.

611
00:36:58,676 --> 00:37:00,845
The subway
was a furnace though. Wow.

612
00:37:00,970 --> 00:37:03,806
- You too warm to say hello?
- Mm-hmm.

Oh, swell. I'm starved.

Stop holding onto me, will ya, huh?
Let me go.

616

- (Giggling)
- Let me go.

617
00:37:18,362 --> 00:37:21,115
- Where's Billy?
- I put him to bed.

618
00:37:21,240 --> 00:37:23,826
- So early?
- Listen, dear. I'm sorry to tell you this

619
00:37:23,951 --> 00:37:26,370
but you've got a nasty job
to do before dinner.

620
00:37:26,495 --> 00:37:28,664
- What's the matter?
- Billy has to have a whipping.

621
00:37:28,789 --> 00:37:31,041
- Why?
- He walked right out of the yard

622
00:37:31,167 --> 00:37:34,003
crossed Northern Boulevard
all by himself

623
00:37:34,128 --> 00:37:35,713
and went to the park.

624
00:37:35,838 --> 00:37:38,466
Well... well, I-I'll give him
a real talking-to.

625
00:37:38,591 --> 00:37:39,592
Oh, no, you won't.

626
00:37:39,717 --> 00:37:41,218
You'll give him a real whipping,
with a strap.

627
00:37:41,343 --> 00:37:42,344
Just a minute.

628
00:37:42,470 --> 00:37:44,305
I know you don't believe
in whipping a child.

629
00:37:44,430 --> 00:37:46,098
- Well, neither did I until now.
- I know...

630
00:37:46,223 --> 00:37:48,309
But do you want Billy
run over by a truck?

631
00:37:48,434 --> 00:37:50,019
Look, I've reasoned with him.

632
00:37:50,144 --> 00:37:51,979
I've pleaded with him.
I've threatened him.

633
00:37:52,104 --> 00:37:55,191
But the minute my back is turned,
he's off.

634
00:37:55,316 --> 00:37:58,152
Well, he's a...
he's a spunky kid, Janey.

635
00:37:59,403 --> 00:38:01,739
I don't want him to be a dead kid.

636
00:38:01,864 --> 00:38:04,200
- No.
- Go on then.

637
00:38:04,325 --> 00:38:06,410
Get it over with.

638
00:38:07,661 --> 00:38:09,580
Yeah.
Yeah, I guess I'd better.

639
00:38:12,917 --> 00:38:14,585
- Right after dinner.
- Jimmy.

640
00:38:14,710 --> 00:38:17,379
Look, honey. I just can't go up there
and take a strap to that boy.

641
00:38:17,505 --> 00:38:18,839
I have to work up to it
a little bit.

642
00:38:18,964 --> 00:38:20,466
You'd think
I was asking you to kill him.

643
00:38:20,591 --> 00:38:22,092
- (Phone rings)
- If you think it's easy, you whip him.

644
00:38:22,218 --> 00:38:25,221
- Me? That's not a woman's job.
- Why does it have to be a man's job?

645
00:38:25,346 --> 00:38:29,600
- It's always a man's job.
- Who says so?

646
00:38:31,185 --> 00:38:32,853
(Ringing continues)

647
00:38:34,647 --> 00:38:38,651
Hello. Oh, uh, yes, Dan. Yes.

648
00:38:38,776 --> 00:38:40,528
Right. Right away. Sure.

649
00:38:40,653 --> 00:38:42,655
That does it.
I have to meet Muldoon right away.

650
00:38:42,780 --> 00:38:43,781
Without any dinner?

651
00:38:43,906 --> 00:38:45,741
Save it for me.
I'll grab a hamburger meanwhile.

652
00:38:45,866 --> 00:38:48,536
Oh, I wish you were a...
an ice cream salesman or something.

653
00:38:48,661 --> 00:38:50,496
I don't like this night work.

654
00:38:50,621 --> 00:38:53,874
I don't like it every time
you strap on that gun.

655
00:38:53,999 --> 00:38:56,585
If I were an ice cream salesman,
I'd get fat.

656
00:38:56,710 --> 00:38:59,713
- Then you wouldn't like me.
- I don't like you now.

657
00:38:59,839 --> 00:39:02,675
Oh, yes, you do. Well...

658
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:04,802
Remember. You've got a job to do
before you leave this house.

659
00:39:04,927 --> 00:39:06,011
- What?
- Billy.

660
00:39:06,136 --> 00:39:10,558
- Oh, I can't stop for that now, honey.
- Halloran, you're a coward.

661
00:39:43,883 --> 00:39:45,718
This is Lieutenant Muldoon.

662
00:39:45,843 --> 00:39:48,679
Mr and Mrs Batory,
the girl's parents.

663
00:39:49,889 --> 00:39:53,475
I told her.
I knew she'd turn out no good.

664
00:39:53,601 --> 00:39:58,105
All these young girls.
So crazy to be with the bright lights.

665
00:39:58,230 --> 00:40:01,901
- No bright lights for her now, is there?
- She's at rest now, Mrs Batory.

666
00:40:02,026 --> 00:40:05,029
No. Her kind of dead don't rest.

667
00:40:05,154 --> 00:40:08,157
What about us? The scandal.

668
00:40:08,282 --> 00:40:09,283
My husband's a gardener.

669
00:40:09,408 --> 00:40:12,620
He works for a banker,
a highly respectable gentleman.

670
00:40:14,288 --> 00:40:16,624
He'll get fired now.

671
00:40:18,167 --> 00:40:21,420
- I hate her. I hate her.
- Paula.

672
00:40:21,545 --> 00:40:25,132
Never mind. I hate her.
I say it out straight.

673
00:40:25,257 --> 00:40:27,092
So fancy she was.

674
00:40:27,217 --> 00:40:29,553
Even had to change her name.

675
00:40:29,678 --> 00:40:33,682
We'd better go in now.
Would you please follow the nurse.

676
00:40:55,537 --> 00:40:57,957
I do hate her. I do.

677
00:40:58,082 --> 00:41:02,336
I warned her.
A million times I warned her.

678
00:41:05,005 --> 00:41:09,176
I hate her.
I hate her for what she's done to us.

679
00:41:27,277 --> 00:41:29,947
Please tell me
if she's your daughter.

680
00:41:42,042 --> 00:41:44,628
Oh! My baby!

681
00:41:44,753 --> 00:41:48,757
My baby! Oh, my baby!

682
00:41:48,882 --> 00:41:51,301
(Sobbing)

683
00:42:13,115 --> 00:42:16,285
I feel better now.
The ride was good for me.

684
00:42:16,410 --> 00:42:18,746
Are you sure
you want to go home tonight?

685
00:42:18,871 --> 00:42:22,041
- We can get you a room at a hotel.
- We'll go home.

686
00:42:22,166 --> 00:42:26,253
We don't like this place,
this fine city.

687
00:42:26,378 --> 00:42:27,713
You don't know who did it, huh?

688
00:42:28,881 --> 00:42:31,133
Not yet.

689
00:42:31,258 --> 00:42:33,260
Did you ever see this ring?

690
00:42:35,137 --> 00:42:39,641
Your daughter told someone
it came from a brother in India.

691
00:42:39,767 --> 00:42:41,685
We only had her.

692
00:42:41,810 --> 00:42:43,896
No other kids. No boy.

693
00:42:44,021 --> 00:42:48,859
I see. Did your daughter
ever mention a man called Henderson?

694
00:42:48,984 --> 00:42:50,819
We don't know any Henderson.

695
00:42:50,944 --> 00:42:52,529
We haven't seen Mary
even for six months.

696
00:42:52,654 --> 00:42:54,698
She was too busy to come see us.

697
00:42:54,823 --> 00:42:59,828
- Who knows what she ran around with?
- She's dead, Mama. Don't.

698
00:42:59,953 --> 00:43:02,539
A good girl. I swear it.

699
00:43:02,664 --> 00:43:05,501
It's my fault maybe,
I didn't do better for her.

700
00:43:05,626 --> 00:43:08,212
When she was 15
she was workin' already.

701
00:43:08,337 --> 00:43:10,756
The Five-And-Ten-Cent store.

702
00:43:10,881 --> 00:43:12,716
Oh, it was hard.

703
00:43:12,841 --> 00:43:15,094
Depression time. Hard.

704
00:43:15,219 --> 00:43:17,554
So what? She's the only one
didn't have it easy?

705
00:43:17,679 --> 00:43:18,847
Other people had it worse.

706
00:43:18,972 --> 00:43:22,726
Was that a reason to leave home,
to... to change your name?

707
00:43:22,851 --> 00:43:26,355
Wanting too much.
That's why she went wrong.

708
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:30,651
Bright lights and theatres
and furs and nightclubs.

709
00:43:30,776 --> 00:43:33,612
That's why she's dead now.

710
00:43:33,737 --> 00:43:38,909
Dear God, why wasn't she born ugly?

711
00:43:39,034 --> 00:43:41,036
Mrs Batory...

712
00:43:41,161 --> 00:43:44,081
Oh, what a heartache.

713
00:43:44,206 --> 00:43:47,709
You nurse a child, you raise it,

714
00:43:47,835 --> 00:43:50,420
pet it, you love it,

715
00:43:50,546 --> 00:43:52,422
and it ends like this.

Well, what's with you?

00:45:31,438 --> 00:45:34,942
Niles sold this about an hour ago
to a jeweller on Madison Avenue.

- Got 600 dollars for it.
- Well!

No. Not here.

754
00:45:53,460 --> 00:45:56,713
It's a man's item anyway.

755
00:45:56,838 --> 00:45:59,091
An interesting man, that Niles.

756
00:45:59,216 --> 00:46:01,385
He operates very strange.

757
00:46:01,510 --> 00:46:04,012
Say, how about
I check this cigarette case

758
00:46:04,137 --> 00:46:05,138
with the department list

in the last year or so?

All right. I don't think
you'll get anything, though.

761
00:46:10,852 --> 00:46:15,524
He'd be crazy to unload a stolen item
in the middle of a hot case like this.

762
00:46:15,649 --> 00:46:18,902
Maybe he is crazy.

She deserved it.
For months I've been watching her.

798
00:47:56,666 --> 00:48:01,171
I'd come in here with packages,
and there she'd be, in her negligée.

Niles bought a plane ticket

- No. What else he do today?
- Had lunch with Ruth Morrison.

They held hands for an hour.
She went back to the shop.

836

He went to the Park Central
and had a swim.

that's not smart.

840
00:49:45,775 --> 00:49:47,611
What is this man?
An amateur or something?

841
00:49:47,736 --> 00:49:51,490
That's it. That's what's in his heart.
Now I know.

842
00:49:51,615 --> 00:49:53,533
He's had no experience
at bein' a crook.

843
00:49:53,658 --> 00:49:57,078
He's a scared college boy
way out in deep water.

844
00:49:57,204 --> 00:49:59,873
He's beginning to thrash around now.
He's in a panic.

845
00:49:59,998 --> 00:50:03,335
- Panic over what?
- I don't know yet, Sam. I don't know yet.

846
00:50:03,460 --> 00:50:04,711
And how does
this man Stoneman figure?

847
00:50:04,836 --> 00:50:07,339
Why should Niles pawn a cigarette case
belonging to him?

848
00:50:07,464 --> 00:50:09,716
Dan! Dan. Captain.

849
00:50:09,841 --> 00:50:11,676
- I got somethin', maybe.
- About what?

850
00:50:11,801 --> 00:50:14,387
The black star sapphire that Dexter
was wearing when she was killed.

851
00:50:14,513 --> 00:50:15,847
- It didn't belong to her.
- Huh?

852
00:50:15,972 --> 00:50:17,807
She didn't buy it, and Henderson
didn't buy it for her.

853
00:50:17,933 --> 00:50:21,686
It belongs to a Mrs Hylton,
478 Park Avenue.

854
00:50:21,811 --> 00:50:23,480
I found a jeweller
who repaired it for her.

855
00:50:23,605 --> 00:50:25,607
Start in a murder case and we're up
to our neck in stolen jewellery.

856
00:50:25,732 --> 00:50:28,568
Mrs Edgar Hylton.
There it is.

857
00:50:28,693 --> 00:50:30,111
Black star sapphire.

858
00:50:30,237 --> 00:50:33,240
Part of a 6,200-dollar robbery
of her apartment.

859
00:50:33,365 --> 00:50:35,867
- Did you see this Mrs Hylton?
- I thought you might wanna see her.

860
00:50:35,992 --> 00:50:37,577
Well, now, that was
considerate of you, Jimmy.

861
00:50:37,702 --> 00:50:40,455
We'll telephone the lady,
and we'll both go and see her.

862
00:50:40,580 --> 00:50:43,667
Have a beer on me, Sam, and throw
a pinch of salt over your shoulder.

863
00:50:43,792 --> 00:50:46,461
This case is beginnin' to move.

864
00:50:56,429 --> 00:50:58,265
Lieutenant Muldoon,
police department.

865
00:50:58,390 --> 00:51:01,726
Mrs Hylton is expecting you.
Come in, won't you?

866
00:51:09,359 --> 00:51:12,529
My, what a nice-looking young man.

867
00:51:12,654 --> 00:51:14,823
You're the lieutenant
who telephoned me, aren't you?

868
00:51:14,948 --> 00:51:17,784
- Did you get my jewels back?
- Is this one of them?

869
00:51:17,909 --> 00:51:20,412
Oh, yes, it is.

870
00:51:20,537 --> 00:51:23,123
Oh, wonderful!

871
00:51:23,248 --> 00:51:27,377
Oh, you're wonderful men.
Where's the rest?

872
00:51:28,211 --> 00:51:30,046
That's all we have.

873
00:51:30,171 --> 00:51:32,507
I'm so disappointed.

874
00:51:32,632 --> 00:51:34,301
Oh, but this is wonderful.

875
00:51:34,426 --> 00:51:37,846
I gave it to my daughter
when she graduated from college.

876
00:51:37,971 --> 00:51:40,056
She was heartbroken when...

877
00:51:40,181 --> 00:51:42,601
Oh, isn't it precious?

878
00:51:42,726 --> 00:51:45,145
I love to glitter.

879
00:51:45,270 --> 00:51:47,105
It's a fixation.

880
00:51:48,023 --> 00:51:50,692
You're such a nice young man.

881
00:51:50,817 --> 00:51:52,235
Oh, sit down, gentlemen.

882
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:55,530
Get comfortable.
Young man, sit by me.

883
00:51:56,448 --> 00:52:00,201
Mrs Hylton, is your daughter here?
I'd like to speak to her.

884
00:52:00,327 --> 00:52:02,746
She's due any minute for dinner.

885
00:52:02,871 --> 00:52:05,957
It's her night with Mama.
(Laughs)

886
00:52:06,082 --> 00:52:10,170
One of those career girls,
has her own apartment, works.

887
00:52:10,295 --> 00:52:12,964
That's what you get
when you send them to Vassar.

888
00:52:15,383 --> 00:52:17,886
Mrs Hylton,
if she doesn't live with you

889
00:52:18,011 --> 00:52:19,929
how is it her ring was stolen
from here?

890
00:52:20,055 --> 00:52:23,058
But that was last December.
She was living with me then.

891
00:52:23,183 --> 00:52:26,186
I see.
Now, I wonder if, by any chance...

892
00:52:26,311 --> 00:52:29,564
Mother? I'm here.
Hello, Margaret.

893
00:52:30,273 --> 00:52:33,568
- Niles, he's the connection.
- Easy, lad. Easy.

894
00:52:35,487 --> 00:52:36,655
Mother...

895
00:52:36,780 --> 00:52:40,033
You told me your name
was Ruth Morrison, not Hylton.

896
00:52:40,158 --> 00:52:42,077
Well, Ruth's my daughter
by a first marriage.

897
00:52:42,202 --> 00:52:43,703
She kept her father's name.

898
00:52:43,828 --> 00:52:45,747
How do you know these men?

899
00:52:45,872 --> 00:52:48,625
They're investigating
Jean Dexter's murder.

900
00:52:48,750 --> 00:52:50,835
Jean modelled with me
at the shop, Mother.

901
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:54,464
Imagine! Look, darling.

902
00:52:54,589 --> 00:52:56,675
- My ring!
- They brought it.

903
00:52:56,800 --> 00:53:00,053
- Aren't they wonderful?
- How did you get it?

904
00:53:00,178 --> 00:53:03,348
Your friend was wearing it
when she was murdered.

905
00:53:03,473 --> 00:53:05,725
- Jean?
- How did she get it?

906
00:53:05,850 --> 00:53:08,103
I was hoping your daughter
would tell us that.

907
00:53:08,228 --> 00:53:12,565
I have no idea.
It was stolen with the other things.

908
00:53:12,691 --> 00:53:14,943
What did you mean before
when you said,

909
00:53:15,068 --> 00:53:17,654
"Niles, he's the connection"?

910
00:53:17,779 --> 00:53:19,114
- I, uh...
- What did you mean, please?

911
00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:23,743
He was just wondering, miss,
how your ring came to be on her finger.

912
00:53:23,868 --> 00:53:25,787
You don't think Frank...

913
00:53:25,912 --> 00:53:28,331
Oh, but that's silly.

914
00:53:28,456 --> 00:53:31,543
- He hardly knew Jean.
- Of course.

915
00:53:32,502 --> 00:53:34,003
Sit down.

916
00:53:38,508 --> 00:53:40,844
Excuse me, miss.
Is that your engagement ring?

917
00:53:40,969 --> 00:53:43,847
- Yes.
- (Muldoon) Can I look at it?

918
00:53:49,102 --> 00:53:51,104
Pearl in an old-fashioned setting.

919
00:53:51,229 --> 00:53:55,400
Huh. Unusual. Jimmy.

920
00:53:55,525 --> 00:53:57,277
(Ruth) What are you doing?

921
00:53:57,402 --> 00:54:00,739
I'm sorry, miss. We're checking
your ring to see if it was stolen.

922
00:54:00,864 --> 00:54:02,782
This is fantastic!

923
00:54:02,907 --> 00:54:04,743
Do you honestly think
that either Frank or I

924
00:54:04,868 --> 00:54:06,453
had anything to do
with Jean's murder?

925
00:54:06,578 --> 00:54:09,873
- I'm only earning my salary, miss.
- Dan!

926
00:54:10,582 --> 00:54:12,834
When did Niles give you this ring?

927
00:54:12,959 --> 00:54:15,462
About six weeks ago.

928
00:54:17,297 --> 00:54:19,215
On January the 8th,
Mrs Charles Franklin,

929
00:54:19,340 --> 00:54:22,177
382 Fern Avenue,
New Rochelle,

930
00:54:22,302 --> 00:54:24,137
reported the loss of this ring
in a robbery.

931
00:54:24,262 --> 00:54:25,680
(Gasps)

932
00:54:30,185 --> 00:54:32,854
- Niles in?
- Went in about a half an hour ago.

933
00:54:32,979 --> 00:54:35,982
- Alone?
- Yeah. Apartment 6E.

934
00:54:37,442 --> 00:54:40,195
- You can go home now.
- Thanks. I'm dead. So long.

935
00:54:40,320 --> 00:54:41,821
Good night.

936
00:54:45,784 --> 00:54:47,619
(Door buzzer buzzes)

937
00:54:50,413 --> 00:54:51,915
Niles!

938
00:54:54,876 --> 00:54:56,377
- (Buzzing)
- Niles!

939
00:54:56,503 --> 00:54:59,339
- (Clattering)
- Stand back.

940
00:55:02,383 --> 00:55:03,468
(Ruth) Frank!

941
00:55:04,552 --> 00:55:06,846
- Oh, Frank.
- (Clattering)

942
00:55:06,971 --> 00:55:09,641
- (Ruth) Darling.
- Dan, in here!

943
00:55:10,767 --> 00:55:13,853
- It's the police! Stop or I'll shoot!
- (Gunshot)

944
00:55:17,357 --> 00:55:19,192
(Woman screams)

945
00:55:21,694 --> 00:55:24,531
(Man) What's the matter?
What's goin' on here? Who is that?

946
00:55:30,036 --> 00:55:31,788
(Man) Somebody get help!

947
00:55:31,913 --> 00:55:33,665
(Woman) Help! Help!

948
00:55:33,790 --> 00:55:34,791
(Screams)

949
00:55:34,916 --> 00:55:36,209
(Gunshot)

950
00:55:38,044 --> 00:55:39,462
Help!

951
00:55:39,587 --> 00:55:43,091
(Gunshots)

952
00:56:03,987 --> 00:56:06,322
(Train approaching)

953
00:56:14,289 --> 00:56:16,332
Up there! He ran up there!

954
00:56:18,334 --> 00:56:21,337
(Train departing)

955
00:56:36,436 --> 00:56:38,605
Frank. Frank.

956
00:56:39,188 --> 00:56:40,857
Maybe some whiskey would help.

957
00:56:40,982 --> 00:56:43,401
Whiskey's not the thing to mix
with chloroform.

958
00:56:43,526 --> 00:56:44,777
Suppose you go into the kitchen

959
00:56:44,903 --> 00:56:47,322
and see if there's a spot of coffee
on the stove.

960
00:56:48,573 --> 00:56:50,742
It'll do fine, even if it's cold.

961
00:56:55,538 --> 00:56:58,958
Come on, me sleepin' beauty.
Wake up.

962
00:56:59,083 --> 00:57:00,919
(Grunts)

963
00:57:01,044 --> 00:57:03,796
That's the sweet lad.

964
00:57:04,881 --> 00:57:06,716
(Grunting)

965
00:57:08,259 --> 00:57:11,679
- I found some cold tea.
- That'll do fine. He's wakin' up now.

966
00:57:11,804 --> 00:57:14,057
Oh, Frank, darling.

967
00:57:14,182 --> 00:57:16,351
- Are you all right?
- Hello, Ruth.

968
00:57:16,476 --> 00:57:18,895
Oh, sweetheart, I was so worried.

969
00:57:19,479 --> 00:57:21,147
Oh, my darling. My darling.

970
00:57:21,272 --> 00:57:23,691
The cold tea would do more good.

971
00:57:23,816 --> 00:57:25,318
(Door opens)

972
00:57:28,696 --> 00:57:31,115
- Got away on the elevated.
- Did you give it to radio?

973
00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:33,159
- Sure.
- Get a look at him?

974
00:57:33,284 --> 00:57:36,204
No. He was a husky guy.
That's all I got.

975
00:57:36,329 --> 00:57:37,830
(Sniffs) What is that?

976
00:57:37,956 --> 00:57:40,375
Same anaesthetic
that was used on Dexter.

977
00:57:40,500 --> 00:57:42,752
I think this is our friend
McGillicuddy again.

978
00:57:42,877 --> 00:57:44,462
Oh.

979
00:57:46,422 --> 00:57:50,426
Well, hello.
How are you feeling?

980
00:57:50,551 --> 00:57:52,804
I've got a head like a beehive.

981
00:57:53,554 --> 00:57:55,556
Is that towel wet?

982
00:57:56,641 --> 00:57:59,227
- Want any more tea, darling?
- No.

983
00:57:59,352 --> 00:58:01,771
While you're thinkin' up a nice story
about what didn't happen

984
00:58:01,896 --> 00:58:04,065
supposin' you tell us what did.

985
00:58:04,190 --> 00:58:07,026
- I don't know.
- Complete blackout, huh?

986
00:58:07,151 --> 00:58:11,155
I was packing a bag
and I thought I heard a noise.

987
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:15,451
And just as I started to turn around
I got hit.

988
00:58:16,285 --> 00:58:20,748
I remember falling to my knees...
and that's all.

989
00:58:20,873 --> 00:58:24,877
Now listen, Niles. You came
very close to not waking up at all.

990
00:58:25,003 --> 00:58:29,257
The party that killed Jean Dexter
tried the same business on you.

991
00:58:29,382 --> 00:58:32,719
- Who was it?
- How on earth would I know?

992
00:58:32,844 --> 00:58:35,096
If you're afraid,
I'll guarantee you police protection.

993
00:58:35,221 --> 00:58:38,391
If I knew, I'd tell you.
I'm not a fool.

994
00:58:39,183 --> 00:58:40,852
You suppose I enjoyed this?

995
00:58:40,977 --> 00:58:43,479
Any guess who it was?

996
00:58:43,604 --> 00:58:45,690
Must have been a burglar.

997
00:58:45,815 --> 00:58:47,734
Came in through the fire escape,
I suppose.

998
00:58:47,859 --> 00:58:51,362
A burglar.
Maybe he stole something.

999
00:59:02,290 --> 00:59:03,958
He got it, didn't he?

1000
00:59:04,083 --> 00:59:07,420
No. No, there's...
there's nothing missing.

1001
00:59:07,545 --> 00:59:08,963
I don't have any valuables.

1002
00:59:09,088 --> 00:59:10,923
What were you looking for
so hard just now?

1003
00:59:11,049 --> 00:59:12,717
Your BVDs?

1004
00:59:12,842 --> 00:59:17,180
(Chuckles) I thought... I, uh...
I forgot this was in my pocket.

1005
00:59:17,305 --> 00:59:19,974
It's, uh... my one valuable.

1006
00:59:20,099 --> 00:59:22,351
It's... it's expensive.

1007
00:59:25,438 --> 00:59:26,939
Jimmy.

1008
00:59:36,741 --> 00:59:38,576
What are you doing?

1009
00:59:41,454 --> 00:59:43,790
Why'd you come down here anyway?

1010
00:59:45,541 --> 00:59:47,043
You wanna know something,
Lieutenant?

1011
00:59:47,168 --> 00:59:48,836
You're gonna have a lawsuit
on your hands. You can't...

1012
00:59:48,961 --> 00:59:51,130
Forrest C. Broughton,
85 West 68th Street,

1013
00:59:51,255 --> 00:59:53,549
reported the loss
of this cigarette lighter three weeks ago.

1014
00:59:53,674 --> 00:59:57,512
- Night burglary.
- (Niles) What kind of a deal is this?

1015
00:59:58,054 --> 00:59:59,305
You tell us.

1016
00:59:59,430 --> 01:00:01,766
If you think I'm a thief,
you're crazy.

1017
01:00:01,891 --> 01:00:04,352
Honey, this is the craziest thing
I ever heard of.

1018
01:00:05,061 --> 01:00:09,565
Sweetheart, this is a terrible thing
to ask you right now.

1019
01:00:09,690 --> 01:00:13,694
But my engagement ring...
where did you buy it?

1020
01:00:13,820 --> 01:00:16,239
- What?
- Frank, darling, please.

1021
01:00:16,364 --> 01:00:19,367
- Where did you buy it?
- It was from a private party.

1022
01:00:20,368 --> 01:00:22,453
- Who, Frank?
- I can't tell you.

1023
01:00:22,578 --> 01:00:23,996
Please, sweetheart. You must.

1024
01:00:24,122 --> 01:00:27,375
- Where'd you get the cigarette lighter?
- I, uh...

1025
01:00:27,500 --> 01:00:30,753
Where'd you get the cigarette case
you sold this morning?

1026
01:00:33,089 --> 01:00:35,508
Frank, tell them.
Please tell them.

1027
01:00:35,633 --> 01:00:38,719
Why'd you buy a plane ticket
for Mexico City?

1028
01:00:39,345 --> 01:00:41,180
Why, I...

1029
01:00:41,305 --> 01:00:43,975
What ticket? When?

1030
01:00:44,100 --> 01:00:46,686
He was supposed to leave
at noon tomorrow.

1031
01:00:46,811 --> 01:00:48,563
Is that true?

1032
01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:51,232
- Frank, is it true?
- It was a business trip.

1033
01:00:51,357 --> 01:00:53,776
- We had lunch today. Why didn't you...
- Something came up this afternoon.

1034
01:00:53,901 --> 01:00:55,820
You're lying.

1035
01:00:55,945 --> 01:00:58,447
You bought the ticket
in the morning.

1036
01:01:05,204 --> 01:01:07,874
You've got the wrong man if you think
I stole those things, Lieutenant.

1037
01:01:07,999 --> 01:01:09,917
I wouldn't steal a piece of bread
if I was starving.

1038
01:01:10,042 --> 01:01:12,879
That isn't the way I was brought up.
I come from a decent family.

1039
01:01:13,004 --> 01:01:15,506
- Congratulations.
- I got that lighter as a present.

1040
01:01:15,631 --> 01:01:17,550
You can't send me to prison for that.

1041
01:01:17,675 --> 01:01:19,427
Who gave it to you?

1042
01:01:20,636 --> 01:01:24,182
Jean Dexter.
Now you prove she didn't.

1043
01:01:24,307 --> 01:01:26,058
And the cigarette case
you sold this morning?

1044
01:01:26,184 --> 01:01:27,685
The same.

1045
01:01:29,645 --> 01:01:33,399
- And my engagement ring?
- Sure. Jean gave me that too.

1046
01:01:33,524 --> 01:01:35,484
- My engagement ring?
- You heard me.

1047
01:01:36,152 --> 01:01:37,153
No, no, Frank.

1048
01:01:37,278 --> 01:01:39,447
Don't say a thing like that.
That would be horrible.

1049
01:01:39,572 --> 01:01:41,240
And I know it's a lie.
You hardly knew Jean.

1050
01:01:41,365 --> 01:01:44,202
- I'm sorry, Ruth.
- I don't believe you.

1051
01:01:44,327 --> 01:01:47,580
Frank, I love you.
I'll marry you now, tonight.

1052
01:01:47,705 --> 01:01:49,874
But say you're lying about Jean.

1053
01:01:49,999 --> 01:01:51,667
If you're a thief,
I'll stand by you, I'll...

1054
01:01:51,792 --> 01:01:53,377
And go to prison?
In a pig's eye, I will.

1055
01:01:53,502 --> 01:01:56,339
Those things were presents. Presents!
Your ring was a present...

1056
01:01:56,464 --> 01:01:58,132
- Frank!
- From Jean.

1057
01:01:59,926 --> 01:02:00,927
You're lying.

1058
01:02:03,012 --> 01:02:04,513
You're lying!

1059
01:02:05,014 --> 01:02:08,851
You're lying! You're lying!
You're lying! You're lying!

1060
01:02:08,976 --> 01:02:12,438
- You're lying. (Sobbing)
- (Muldoon) Niles, you're under arrest.

1061
01:02:12,563 --> 01:02:14,440
Arrest me all you like!

1062
01:02:14,565 --> 01:02:18,236
But try to prove something against me.
Try it! Just try it!

1063
01:02:20,071 --> 01:02:22,990

1064

1070
01:02:40,466 --> 01:02:42,301
(Children continue singing)

1071
01:02:42,426 --> 01:02:46,013
I... I'm not sure, but... but I think
maybe I found a connection

1072
01:02:46,138 --> 01:02:48,891
between these jewel burglaries
and the Dexter murder.

1073
01:02:52,812 --> 01:02:54,230
You have?

1074
01:02:54,355 --> 01:02:57,108
Have you read the autopsy report
on Peter Backalis?

1075
01:02:57,233 --> 01:02:58,901
- Not yet.
- Well, yesterday morning

1076
01:02:59,026 --> 01:03:01,279
some kids swimming in the East River
found a body.

1077
01:03:01,404 --> 01:03:03,489
Medical examiner
says he died of drowning.

1078
01:03:03,614 --> 01:03:05,283
Had a head injury
and was full of whiskey.

1079
01:03:05,408 --> 01:03:07,493
- His verdict is accidental death.
- Uh-huh.

1080
01:03:07,618 --> 01:03:11,747
But look at this. Jean Dexter died
between 1 and 2am Monday morning.

1081
01:03:11,872 --> 01:03:16,961
This guy Backalis died
between 3 and 6am the same morning.

1082
01:03:17,086 --> 01:03:21,757
Well... show me
that it's more than a coincidence.

1083
01:03:23,175 --> 01:03:26,345
I can't show you, Dan.
But this man had a record.

1084
01:03:26,470 --> 01:03:28,973
He served two years in Sing Sing
for stealing jewellery.

1085
01:03:29,098 --> 01:03:31,183
Now listen.

1086
01:03:31,309 --> 01:03:35,396
Niles and Dexter were dealing
in stolen jewellery. Sure.

1087
01:03:35,521 --> 01:03:38,357
But it was society stuff.

1088
01:03:38,482 --> 01:03:42,445
- What does Backalis's record show?
- I didn't think of that.

1089
01:03:43,863 --> 01:03:46,866
It was small-time...
a pawnshop burglary in Queens.

1090
01:03:47,616 --> 01:03:49,035
See?

1091
01:03:50,036 --> 01:03:53,956
I'm afraid the two cases
are miles apart.

1092
01:03:54,081 --> 01:03:58,753
If we drag every petty jewellery thief
into this, we'll go crazy.

1093
01:04:05,343 --> 01:04:07,178
You're not convinced, are you?

1094
01:04:07,303 --> 01:04:09,055
I don't know, Dan.

1095
01:04:09,180 --> 01:04:11,182
Trouble is, where are we
in the Dexter case?

1096
01:04:11,307 --> 01:04:13,184
Well, we sent photos
of Niles and Dexter

1097
01:04:13,309 --> 01:04:15,811
to every police department
in the East.

1098
01:04:15,936 --> 01:04:18,439
- They'll check all jewellers.
- Where can that lead?

1099
01:04:18,564 --> 01:04:21,650
Well, that's the way
you run a case, lad.

1100
01:04:21,776 --> 01:04:22,860
Step by step...

1101
01:04:24,987 --> 01:04:27,323
Oh, I suppose so.

1102
01:04:28,324 --> 01:04:30,159
Look, Dan, do me a favour.

1103
01:04:30,284 --> 01:04:34,121
Let me waste some time
on this Backalis angle.

1104
01:04:34,246 --> 01:04:35,748
- OK, lad.
- Swell.

1105
01:04:35,873 --> 01:04:38,376
- Phone in once a day.
- Right.

1106
01:04:38,501 --> 01:04:41,504
By the way, this is only the third day
of the Dexter murder.

1107
01:04:41,629 --> 01:04:44,131
The department
never calls a case unsolved.

1108
01:04:44,256 --> 01:04:47,510
Good deal. Twenty years from now
I'll put my kid on it.

1109
01:04:54,934 --> 01:04:56,435
Backalis's parole officer
was Charles Meade,

1110
01:04:56,560 --> 01:04:57,978
county courthouse
in the Bronx.

1111
01:04:58,104 --> 01:04:59,271
- Charles Meade?
- Yep.

1112
01:04:59,397 --> 01:05:00,648
Thanks.

1113
01:05:08,823 --> 01:05:10,408
Well, tell me this, Mr Meade.

1114
01:05:10,533 --> 01:05:12,368
Do you think Backalis
could get so drunk

1115
01:05:12,493 --> 01:05:16,163
he'd fall down on the pier, hurt himself
and topple into the river?

1116
01:05:16,288 --> 01:05:20,000
I doubt it. He seemed like
one of those steady all-day drinkers,

1117
01:05:20,126 --> 01:05:23,045
always with a load on,
but never wobbly.

1118
01:05:23,170 --> 01:05:28,008
- Who was his arresting officer?
- Uh... Patrolman Albert Hicks.

1119
01:05:28,134 --> 01:05:29,718
Long Island City Precinct.

1120
01:05:29,844 --> 01:05:32,930
(Laughs) What do you know?
Right on my doorstep.

1121
01:05:33,055 --> 01:05:34,473
Thanks.

1122
01:05:36,100 --> 01:05:38,769
(Bell ringing)

1123
01:05:38,894 --> 01:05:41,063
(Train horn blowing)

1124
01:05:42,523 --> 01:05:44,859
- You're Hicks, aren't you?
- That's right.

1125
01:05:44,984 --> 01:05:47,987
- Detective Halloran, Homicide Squad.
- Hiya.

1126
01:05:48,112 --> 01:05:52,366
About two and a half years ago,
you arrested a man named Backalis.

1127
01:05:52,491 --> 01:05:55,828
- Backalis?
- Peter Backalis. Pawnshop entry.

1128
01:05:55,953 --> 01:05:59,957
- Oh, yeah, yeah. I remember.
- Did he do that job alone?

1129
01:06:00,082 --> 01:06:01,917
No, there was another guy with him.

1130
01:06:02,042 --> 01:06:04,545
- A fella he called, uh... Willie.
- Willie?

1131
01:06:04,670 --> 01:06:06,422
- Yeah.
- What happened to him?

1132
01:06:06,547 --> 01:06:09,133
He got away by the neatest trick
I've ever seen.

1133
01:06:09,758 --> 01:06:13,429
I nailed Backalis in a back alley.
And he yelled, "Beat it, Willie!"

1134
01:06:13,554 --> 01:06:17,266
And this other customer throws a chair
through a plate glass window,

1135
01:06:17,391 --> 01:06:20,478
dives right after it and comes up
on his feet like an acrobat.

1136
01:06:20,603 --> 01:06:22,480
Then he's off like a streak.

1137
01:06:22,605 --> 01:06:26,984
- How was this fella built?
- Oh, big like an all-American fullback.

1138
01:06:27,109 --> 01:06:29,528
And listen.
Somethin' funny about him.

1139
01:06:30,112 --> 01:06:33,240
One of the things the owner
reported missing was a harmonica.

1140
01:06:33,824 --> 01:06:36,243
Now, there's no resale value
in a thing like that

1141
01:06:36,368 --> 01:06:40,623
so I always figured
he must have liked to play one.

1142
01:06:40,748 --> 01:06:42,583
Maybe you're right.

1143
01:06:42,708 --> 01:06:44,960
- Much obliged.
- OK.

1144
01:06:45,920 --> 01:06:47,588
Mm-hmm.

1145
01:06:47,713 --> 01:06:51,217
A big man who's an acrobat, huh?

1146
01:06:51,342 --> 01:06:54,762
Jimmy, I don't know where you're goin',
but I'm goin' to start in and help you.

1147
01:06:54,887 --> 01:06:58,015
I'm givin' you Fowler and Constantino
beginnin' tomorrow morning.

1148
01:06:58,140 --> 01:06:59,975
Thanks, Dan.

1149
01:07:00,100 --> 01:07:01,602
Good night.

1150
01:07:04,480 --> 01:07:07,316
(Narrator) 'His name is Willie, maybe.

1151
01:07:07,441 --> 01:07:11,695
'He might have been
a professional acrobat, maybe.

1152
01:07:11,820 --> 01:07:15,407
'He might be the man
we're looking for, maybe.

1153
01:07:15,533 --> 01:07:17,785
'Oh, yes. He's a big man.

1154
01:07:17,910 --> 01:07:20,913
'Only half a million big men
in New York.'

1155
01:07:22,289 --> 01:07:24,708
A harmonica player?

1156
01:07:24,833 --> 01:07:26,335
No, sir, brother.

1157
01:07:26,460 --> 01:07:30,714
Why, a character like that,
I wouldn't even let work out here.

1158
01:07:33,092 --> 01:07:35,094
(Chuckling) Not that I can remember.

1159
01:07:35,219 --> 01:07:39,807
I been bookin' vaudeville acts,
circus acts, nightclub acts for 30 years.

1160
01:07:39,932 --> 01:07:41,684
Oh, a lot of queer eggs among 'em

1161
01:07:41,809 --> 01:07:43,978
but an acrobat
that played the harmonica?

1162
01:07:44,103 --> 01:07:47,189
(Chuckles) That queer
I never saw one.

1163
01:07:49,942 --> 01:07:51,360
- Offence.
- (Shouts)

1164
01:07:51,485 --> 01:07:54,905
- Defence. Give, give, give.
- (Groaning)

1165
01:07:55,030 --> 01:07:56,865
- Offence.
- (Shouts, indistinct)

1166
01:07:56,991 --> 01:07:58,826
Now go to work a little.

1167
01:07:59,952 --> 01:08:02,037
(Grunting)

1168
01:08:02,162 --> 01:08:03,664
Hey, who runs this joint?

1169
01:08:03,789 --> 01:08:06,792
- I do. What do you want?

1170
01:08:06,917 --> 01:08:09,086
Look. Any of you guys
ever know a wrestler

1171
01:08:09,211 --> 01:08:10,462
who liked to play the harmonica?

1172
01:08:10,588 --> 01:08:12,631
Sure.
Willie, the harmonica player.

1173
01:08:12,756 --> 01:08:14,425
Willie Garzah.
I teached him how to wrestle.

1174
01:08:14,550 --> 01:08:16,218
You didn't teach him so good.

1175
01:08:16,343 --> 01:08:18,679
I pulverised him in Pittsburgh
five years ago.

1176
01:08:18,804 --> 01:08:20,889
- Where is he now?
- I wish I knew.

1177
01:08:21,015 --> 01:08:23,434
He borrowed 38 bucks from me once.
Never paid me back.

1178
01:08:23,559 --> 01:08:25,394
- Where'd he used to live?
- I don't know.

1179
01:08:25,519 --> 01:08:27,521
Staten Island, with his brother.

1180
01:08:27,646 --> 01:08:29,898
What's his brother's name?

1181
01:08:30,024 --> 01:08:33,444
Garzah.
All brothers got the same name.

1182
01:08:34,111 --> 01:08:37,948
- I mean his first name.
- Uh... I don't know.

1183
01:08:38,657 --> 01:08:40,075
OK.

1184
01:08:41,619 --> 01:08:43,370
- Offence.
- (Shouts, indistinct)

1185
01:08:43,495 --> 01:08:45,748
- Defence.
- (Screams)

1186
01:08:50,044 --> 01:08:51,670
Know what my kid did the other day?

1187
01:08:51,795 --> 01:08:53,797
Crossed Northern Boulevard
all by himself.

1188
01:08:53,922 --> 01:08:56,592
- Yeah?
- Shows the kid has nerve.

1189
01:08:56,717 --> 01:08:58,886
My wife was sore for a few minutes.

1190
01:08:59,011 --> 01:09:01,764
Big deal.
We haven't got any kid

1191
01:09:01,889 --> 01:09:04,933
- and my wife's sore all the time.
- (Laughing)

1192
01:09:08,771 --> 01:09:10,606
Which one of you is Garzah?

1193
01:09:10,731 --> 01:09:13,901
- Garzah! Hey, Eddie!
- What?

1194
01:09:17,988 --> 01:09:20,491
Your wife just told us
where we could find you.

1195
01:09:20,616 --> 01:09:22,368
We're lookin' for your brother Willie.

1196
01:09:22,493 --> 01:09:25,329
Me and my brother Willie ain't got
nothin' to do with each other.

1197
01:09:25,454 --> 01:09:28,374
- He's no good.
- When'd you see him last?

1198
01:09:28,499 --> 01:09:30,751
Oh, three months ago about.

1199
01:09:30,876 --> 01:09:33,295
He tried to sell me
a diamond ring for my wife.

1200
01:09:33,420 --> 01:09:36,256
- I told him to go blow.
- Any idea where he lives?

1201
01:09:36,382 --> 01:09:39,385
He had a room somewhere around
the Williamsburg Bridge, is all I know.

1202
01:09:39,510 --> 01:09:42,012
- Got a picture of him?
- No. But when he was wrestlin',

1203
01:09:42,137 --> 01:09:44,056
the newspapers printed
his mug a few times.

1204
01:09:44,181 --> 01:09:46,266
That's it. OK.

1205
01:09:46,392 --> 01:09:49,728
Hey, if you send him up,
do me a favour, will ya?

1206
01:09:49,853 --> 01:09:52,606
Throw the keys away.

Oh, sure, sure.
I'll keep goin'. Yeah.

01:11:00,841 --> 01:11:04,428
Doin' fine here.
Mm-hmm.

1225
01:11:04,553 --> 01:11:08,557
I'm talking to that clean-cut,
young American beauty again.

1226
01:11:08,682 --> 01:11:11,935
Yeah. I think he's going to tell us
something this morning.

1227
01:11:12,060 --> 01:11:14,062
OK. Report in.

1228
01:11:14,188 --> 01:11:15,939
I've told you everything I know.

1229
01:11:16,064 --> 01:11:17,816
Oh, no, you haven't, sonny.

1230
01:11:17,941 --> 01:11:19,443
But you will.

1231
01:11:23,822 --> 01:11:25,824
Come in, Mr McCormick.

1232
01:11:27,493 --> 01:11:29,828
- You recognise this man?
- I certainly do.

1233
01:11:30,954 --> 01:11:32,372
Stop that.

1234
01:11:32,915 --> 01:11:34,416
Sit down.

1235
01:11:35,125 --> 01:11:37,961
Any more of that
and you'll get yourself in trouble.

1236
01:11:40,380 --> 01:11:43,550
You're gettin' quite a slappin' around
these days, aren't you?

1237
01:11:43,675 --> 01:11:46,512
I came all the way down from Boston
to do that.

1238
01:11:46,637 --> 01:11:50,098
That smooth-talking crook came to me
with an introduction I had to honour.

1239
01:11:50,224 --> 01:11:51,975
He gave me a song and dance.

1240
01:11:52,100 --> 01:11:54,686
His sister was terribly ill,
needed an operation.

1241
01:11:54,812 --> 01:11:58,732
He was trying to sell her jewels.
I paid him over 3,000 dollars.

1242
01:11:58,857 --> 01:12:01,026
Now it turns out to be
stolen property.

1243
01:12:01,151 --> 01:12:03,737
You paying him to say that, Muldoon?

1244
01:12:06,406 --> 01:12:08,909
You still can't prove anything.

1245
01:12:09,034 --> 01:12:10,869
I can.

1246
01:12:10,994 --> 01:12:13,121
I run my business with great care.

1247
01:12:13,247 --> 01:12:16,250
This is the letter of introduction
he brought with him.

1248
01:12:18,418 --> 01:12:20,420
Dr Lawrence Stoneman.

1249
01:12:20,546 --> 01:12:22,798
Dr Stoneman treated my mother
some years ago.

1250
01:12:22,923 --> 01:12:24,675
I had to honour his letter.

1251
01:12:24,800 --> 01:12:27,553
Will you wait outside, Mr McCormick?

1252
01:12:29,638 --> 01:12:33,475
How do you get a letter of introduction
from a man like Stoneman?

1253
01:12:34,810 --> 01:12:36,645
You're goin' to the penitentiary, Niles,

1254
01:12:36,770 --> 01:12:40,774
but from now on, the length
of your sentence depends on you.

1255
01:12:40,899 --> 01:12:44,152
Stealin' jewellery is one thing.
Murder is different.

1256
01:12:44,278 --> 01:12:45,279
You know I didn't kill her.

1257
01:12:45,404 --> 01:12:47,239
I was at the Trinidad Club.
I have witnesses.

1258
01:12:47,364 --> 01:12:49,449
- Then who did kill her?
- I don't know.

1259
01:12:49,575 --> 01:12:51,827
- Who's Henderson?
- I don't know.

1260
01:12:51,952 --> 01:12:54,788
Listen, young fella.
The picnic is over.

1261
01:12:54,913 --> 01:12:56,915
No, you've told your last lie.

1262
01:12:57,040 --> 01:13:01,628
You're knee-deep in stolen jewellery.
You're involved in the Dexter murder.

1263
01:13:01,753 --> 01:13:05,757
You've been tryin' to obstruct justice
all along the line.

1264
01:13:15,392 --> 01:13:18,228
Now you're goin' to tell me
what I want to know

1265
01:13:18,353 --> 01:13:22,190
or if it's the last thing I do
in this department...

1266
01:13:22,816 --> 01:13:25,903
...I'll get you 20 years.

1267
01:13:27,863 --> 01:13:31,950
Now, that's the truth, sonny boy.
And you know I'm not bluffin'.

1268
01:13:34,161 --> 01:13:35,996
Who's Henderson?

1269
01:13:37,331 --> 01:13:39,166
Who's Henderson?

1270
01:13:40,667 --> 01:13:41,668
Stoneman.

1271
01:13:43,462 --> 01:13:45,464
It's Dr Stoneman.

1272
01:13:57,225 --> 01:14:00,395
- Got any cold root beer?
- Like ice.

1273
01:14:09,613 --> 01:14:12,032
Ever see this man?

1274
01:14:12,157 --> 01:14:14,326
- He's a box fighter?
- Wrestler.

1275
01:14:14,451 --> 01:14:16,703
(Chuckles) Wrestler, boxing,
what do I know?

1276
01:14:16,828 --> 01:14:19,915
Five cents, please.
Uh... please.

1277
01:14:22,542 --> 01:14:27,130
He's a fella who likes
to play the, uh... whatchamacallit?

1278
01:14:27,255 --> 01:14:29,424
The harmonica. Yes.

1279
01:14:29,549 --> 01:14:32,970
- Sure, I know him. Willie.
- Where does he live?

1280
01:14:33,095 --> 01:14:35,847
- This street someplace.
- What house?

1281
01:14:35,973 --> 01:14:38,809
Down the street someplace.
I don't know.

1282
01:14:38,934 --> 01:14:39,977
Where's the phone?

1283
01:14:40,102 --> 01:14:44,523
Mister...
who-who are you, mister?

1284
01:14:45,774 --> 01:14:49,778
You-you from a collection agency
maybe?

1285
01:14:53,031 --> 01:14:55,867
Ben? This is Jimmy.
Dan there?

1286
01:14:55,993 --> 01:14:57,828
Oh. Well, now look.

1287
01:14:57,953 --> 01:15:01,039
When he gets back,
tell him I've located Garzah.

1288
01:15:01,164 --> 01:15:05,585
Yeah. On Norfolk Street,
between Rivington and Houston.

1289
01:15:05,711 --> 01:15:08,714
Right. OK. Bye.

1290
01:15:09,840 --> 01:15:13,427
By me, Willie is a nice fella.
A man likes kids, he's nice.

1291
01:15:13,552 --> 01:15:16,972
Any little kid asks him,
Willie plays the, uh... whatchamacallit.

1292
01:15:17,097 --> 01:15:19,599
I don't want
I should make trouble for him.

1293
01:15:19,725 --> 01:15:21,476
Don't worry, lady.

1294
01:15:23,020 --> 01:15:25,856
Mister, you don't want your root beer?

1295
01:15:42,497 --> 01:15:44,499
Lieutenant Muldoon, police department.

1296
01:15:44,624 --> 01:15:48,211
- Is Dr Stoneman in?
- He's in the X-ray room.

1297
01:15:48,336 --> 01:15:51,673
- Where's his office?
- Straight ahead.

1298
01:15:51,798 --> 01:15:54,217
I want you to do
exactly as I tell you, miss.

1299
01:15:54,342 --> 01:15:57,179
Tell the patients who are waiting
that they have to leave.

1300
01:15:57,304 --> 01:15:59,139
- But...
- Do as I say, miss.

1301
01:16:05,437 --> 01:16:07,898
(♪ Barrel organ playing)

1302
01:16:08,023 --> 01:16:09,900
You kids know a man
who lives around here,

1303
01:16:10,025 --> 01:16:11,610
the name of Willie Garzah?

1304
01:16:11,735 --> 01:16:12,986
- No.
- I don't know him.

1305
01:16:13,111 --> 01:16:15,280
- Plays the harmonica.
- I know him.

1306
01:16:15,405 --> 01:16:17,074
- Willie.
- Where's he live?

1307
01:16:17,199 --> 01:16:20,202
Across the street. The corner house,
I think, or the next one.

1308
01:16:20,327 --> 01:16:21,828
Good girl.

1309
01:16:23,622 --> 01:16:25,373
(Boy) Superman!

1310
01:16:25,499 --> 01:16:28,919
(♪ Barrel organ continues playing)

1311
01:16:35,467 --> 01:16:37,302
Here. Sit there.

1312
01:16:39,930 --> 01:16:42,349
And don't say anything.

1313
01:16:42,474 --> 01:16:45,811
- This is really unheard of.
- Yes, I know, ma'am.

1314
01:16:45,936 --> 01:16:49,856
Now, tell Dr Stoneman
someone out here has to see him.

1315
01:16:49,981 --> 01:16:52,984
Tell him to leave his patient
and come right out.

1316
01:16:53,110 --> 01:16:55,195
And don't tell him anything else.

1317
01:16:57,280 --> 01:17:02,119
Uh... miss, use the, uh... this thing.

1318
01:17:02,244 --> 01:17:04,412
I'll lose my job over this.

1319
01:17:07,749 --> 01:17:11,419
Doctor, there's someone here.
He has to see you.

1320
01:17:11,545 --> 01:17:13,630
You have to come out right now.

1321
01:17:13,755 --> 01:17:16,591
You must, Doctor.
Right now. You must.

1322
01:17:24,141 --> 01:17:25,392
What are you doing here?

1323
01:17:29,437 --> 01:17:30,772
Who are you?

1324
01:17:30,897 --> 01:17:33,900
Lieutenant Muldoon
of the Homicide Squad.

1325
01:17:35,485 --> 01:17:38,321
Do you go
under the name of Henderson?

1326
01:17:39,447 --> 01:17:40,532
(Stoneman) Yes.

1327
01:17:42,450 --> 01:17:45,453
You've been a long time getting here.

1328
01:17:47,164 --> 01:17:48,832
Almost a week.

1329
01:17:48,957 --> 01:17:51,209
You're under arrest
for the murder of Jean Dexter.

1330
01:17:51,334 --> 01:17:55,422
No. I couldn't do anything like that.

1331
01:17:55,547 --> 01:17:57,048
If anyone did it, it was he.

1332
01:17:57,174 --> 01:17:59,843
Finished.
I'm finished now.

1333
01:17:59,968 --> 01:18:03,221
What's your relationship
to Niles and Dexter?

1334
01:18:06,516 --> 01:18:09,769
A lamb led to slaughter.

1335
01:18:09,895 --> 01:18:13,148
An idiot robbed of self-respect.

1336
01:18:13,273 --> 01:18:15,358
I saw her a year ago
in that dress shop

1337
01:18:15,483 --> 01:18:20,238
and from then on,
I was drunk with her, lost.

1338
01:18:20,363 --> 01:18:23,658
For six months now,
I've known they've been using me.

1339
01:18:24,492 --> 01:18:26,995
I was their tipster.

1340
01:18:27,120 --> 01:18:29,080
Me. Stoneman.

1341
01:18:29,206 --> 01:18:32,209
- What do you mean?
- They used my social connections.

1342
01:18:32,334 --> 01:18:33,835
My wife...

1343
01:18:35,962 --> 01:18:37,214
My wife is a party giver.

1344
01:18:37,339 --> 01:18:39,507
Jean would find out from me
who was going to be there.

1345
01:18:40,425 --> 01:18:43,345
It was only after months that I realised
when anyone came to my house

1346
01:18:43,470 --> 01:18:45,555
his apartment was robbed
the same night.

1347
01:18:45,680 --> 01:18:47,182
Why didn't you go to the police?

1348
01:18:47,307 --> 01:18:49,976
Why doesn't a drug addict
stop taking drugs?

1349
01:18:50,101 --> 01:18:52,479
She kept promising
each time was the last.

1350
01:18:53,438 --> 01:18:57,692
I believed her because I was afraid
to go to the police.

1351
01:18:57,817 --> 01:18:59,402
(Chuckling)

1352
01:18:59,527 --> 01:19:02,322
I was afraid of the scandal.

1353
01:19:02,447 --> 01:19:04,699
Did you arrange the burglary
of your own apartment?

1354
01:19:04,824 --> 01:19:10,497
Yes. I even came to that.
I was frightened.

1355
01:19:11,081 --> 01:19:12,999
I had to wallow in my own filth.

1356
01:19:13,124 --> 01:19:15,961
What proof have you
that you didn't kill Dexter?

1357
01:19:16,086 --> 01:19:19,506
Proof? I was someplace else.

1358
01:19:20,423 --> 01:19:22,759
Miss Owen, my date book.

1359
01:19:22,884 --> 01:19:25,136
Um, uh... yes.

1360
01:19:25,262 --> 01:19:28,682
A birthday party, uh...
at the Broughtons'.

1361
01:19:28,807 --> 01:19:30,308
Will you testify in court

1362
01:19:30,433 --> 01:19:33,478
that Niles and Dexter
committed these burglaries?

1363
01:19:34,229 --> 01:19:38,817
No. No, they were the fixers,
the smart ones.

1364
01:19:38,942 --> 01:19:40,193
They used me one way.

1365
01:19:40,318 --> 01:19:42,737
They hired other men
to do the actual robberies.

1366
01:19:42,862 --> 01:19:45,198
- Who?
- I don't know.

1367
01:19:46,783 --> 01:19:51,121
Miss Owen...
My practice.

1368
01:19:51,246 --> 01:19:55,083
- (Owen sobs)
- (Stoneman) No, don't cry.

1369
01:19:55,208 --> 01:19:57,794
You will call Dr Grenard.

1370
01:19:57,919 --> 01:19:59,587
(Crying)

1371
01:19:59,713 --> 01:20:01,381
Only don't let me
have to see anyone.

1372
01:20:01,506 --> 01:20:04,968
Not my wife, no friends, no lawyer.
Just lock me up and hide me away.

1373
01:20:07,429 --> 01:20:10,682
Me. Stoneman.

1374
01:20:12,600 --> 01:20:14,185
It's impossible.

1375
01:20:17,272 --> 01:20:18,857
I won't have it.

1376
01:20:21,151 --> 01:20:22,986
(Owen screams)

1377
01:20:23,111 --> 01:20:25,864
Stop! Stop! Let me go!
(Groans)

1378
01:20:30,243 --> 01:20:31,745
I don't know much
about medicine, Doctor

1379
01:20:31,870 --> 01:20:33,955
but I'm pretty sure
that's one prescription

1380
01:20:34,080 --> 01:20:36,082
that never cured anything.

1381
01:20:42,213 --> 01:20:43,882
Thanks, Niles.

1382
01:20:44,007 --> 01:20:46,092
And now that you've finally
decided to cooperate,

1383
01:20:46,217 --> 01:20:48,303
why not go the whole way?

1384
01:20:48,428 --> 01:20:50,263
You're not stupid.

1385
01:20:51,222 --> 01:20:53,558
You're hooked and you know it.

1386
01:20:53,683 --> 01:20:56,019
So why not spill the rest?

1387
01:20:57,979 --> 01:20:59,898
Who did the job for you?

1388
01:21:00,023 --> 01:21:03,109
Who was it?
Who was it?

1389
01:21:04,819 --> 01:21:06,654
Willie Garzah.

1390
01:21:06,780 --> 01:21:08,615
He and Backalis.

1391
01:21:08,740 --> 01:21:11,159
They wanted more of a cut
from the robberies.

1392
01:21:11,284 --> 01:21:15,538
Garzah killed Jean,
and later that night he killed Backalis.

1393
01:21:17,040 --> 01:21:20,293
I loved Jean.
I had nothing to do with it.

1394
01:21:20,418 --> 01:21:22,087
It was Garzah.

1395
01:21:22,212 --> 01:21:24,297
Garzah. Garzah.

1396
01:21:24,422 --> 01:21:26,758
(♪ Violin)

1397
01:21:33,973 --> 01:21:37,894
- (Man speaking Italian)
- (♪ Violin stops)

1398
01:21:38,019 --> 01:21:40,021
(♪ Violin resumes)

1399
01:21:41,564 --> 01:21:43,400
(Man) Come on in.

1400
01:21:44,943 --> 01:21:50,365
Oh, I thought it was the janitor
for the rent. Who are you?

1401
01:21:50,490 --> 01:21:52,992
Don't mind me.
I'm just havin' a little workout.

1402
01:21:53,118 --> 01:21:55,912
My name's Hawkey.
I work up at Bellevue Hospital.

1403
01:21:56,037 --> 01:21:57,038
Are you Willie Garzah?

1404
01:21:57,163 --> 01:22:01,167
That's me. Ever seen me wrestle?
I wasn't so bad.

1405
01:22:01,292 --> 01:22:03,461
No, I never did.

1406
01:22:03,586 --> 01:22:05,422
Patient up at the hospital
gave me your address.

1407
01:22:05,547 --> 01:22:06,631
Asked me to see you.

1408
01:22:06,756 --> 01:22:10,468
- Yeah? Who?
- Backalis his name is.

1409
01:22:10,593 --> 01:22:12,512
- Pete?
- Yeah.

1410
01:22:13,638 --> 01:22:15,807
What's he doin' in the hospital?

1411
01:22:15,932 --> 01:22:19,102
Almost got drowned.
Fell in the river when he was plastered.

1412
01:22:19,227 --> 01:22:21,312
Some guy in a tugboat
fished him out.

1413
01:22:21,438 --> 01:22:24,941
You don't say.
Oh, that Pete.

1414
01:22:25,066 --> 01:22:27,777
Can't leave the booze alone.

1415
01:22:27,902 --> 01:22:29,571
So, what does he want from me?

1416
01:22:29,696 --> 01:22:31,990
He says he wants to see you.

1417
01:22:32,115 --> 01:22:34,993
You know what he wants?

1418
01:22:36,119 --> 01:22:38,121
He wants money.

1419
01:22:39,539 --> 01:22:41,958
Some condition I'm in, eh, brother?

1420
01:22:44,752 --> 01:22:48,756
Don't smoke. Don't drink.

1421
01:22:50,633 --> 01:22:55,388
So Pete wants money again, eh?

1422
01:22:56,097 --> 01:22:58,433
(Chuckles)

1423
01:22:58,558 --> 01:23:01,060
Ah, that Pete.

1424
01:23:02,729 --> 01:23:05,482
You know what you can tell him, buddy?

1425
01:23:09,694 --> 01:23:13,698
Lie still or I'll snap your arm
like a wishbone.

1426
01:23:23,708 --> 01:23:25,126
Get up.

1427
01:23:27,212 --> 01:23:30,924
- Copper, ain't you?
- Yeah.

1428
01:23:31,716 --> 01:23:34,969
Just because I was a wrestler,
everybody thinks I'm dumb.

1429
01:23:35,094 --> 01:23:37,680
I'm not dumb.
I'm smart.

1430
01:23:37,805 --> 01:23:39,974
Now how did I know
you were a copper?

1431
01:23:40,099 --> 01:23:45,438
Because nobody knows where I live,
not even Pete Backalis.

1432
01:23:46,564 --> 01:23:49,275
If you're smart, you'll come down
to headquarters with me.

1433
01:23:49,400 --> 01:23:52,737
Ha, ha.
That wouldn't be smart.

1434
01:23:52,862 --> 01:23:56,699
You know why?
Because Backalis ain't in Bellevue.

1435
01:23:56,824 --> 01:23:59,661
He's in the morgue.
Turn around.

1436
01:24:00,537 --> 01:24:02,372
Turn around.

1437
01:24:04,499 --> 01:24:06,167
Don't be a fool.

1438
01:24:06,292 --> 01:24:08,962
I'll prove I'm smart, copper.
And you know how?

1439
01:24:09,087 --> 01:24:11,256
You're scared right now
I'm gonna rub you out,

1440
01:24:11,381 --> 01:24:12,799
but I ain't, cos I'm smart.

1441
01:24:12,924 --> 01:24:16,261
Rub out a cop
and you'll really get the chair.

1442
01:24:16,386 --> 01:24:20,473
All I need to do is put you to sleep.
Then I'm off.

1443
01:24:20,598 --> 01:24:22,767
Try and find me.

1444
01:24:22,892 --> 01:24:26,729
This is a great, big, beautiful city.

1445
01:24:26,854 --> 01:24:28,773
Just try and find me.

1446
01:24:28,898 --> 01:24:30,733
(Thuds)

1447
01:24:32,694 --> 01:24:35,029
That was a rabbit punch, copper.

1448
01:24:35,154 --> 01:24:37,740
And it's strictly illegal.

1449
01:24:39,826 --> 01:24:41,494
Yeah. He signed it.

1450
01:24:41,619 --> 01:24:44,289
- Wait a minute, Ben. Perelli.
- Yes, sir?

1451
01:24:44,414 --> 01:24:45,999
Keep Niles away
from the newspapermen.

1452
01:24:46,124 --> 01:24:48,209
- Yes, sir.
- Now listen, Ben.

1453
01:24:48,334 --> 01:24:51,671
When Halloran calls in,
or Fowler or Constantino,

1454
01:24:51,796 --> 01:24:56,301
tell them that Willie Garzah
may be the gimmick in this case.

1455
01:24:56,426 --> 01:24:58,761
When did Halloran call in?

1456
01:24:58,886 --> 01:25:00,722
Was he alone?

1457
01:25:00,847 --> 01:25:03,182
Now get this.
Send out an emergency.

1458
01:25:03,308 --> 01:25:05,560
Rush every available squad car.

1459
01:25:05,685 --> 01:25:07,520
Block off the street.
Surround it.

1460
01:25:14,485 --> 01:25:17,488
Boundary line,
57th Precinct to signal 32.

1461
01:25:17,614 --> 01:25:20,033
The address, Rivington Street,
between Essex and Norfolk.

1462
01:25:20,158 --> 01:25:24,996
Car 702, Fifth Precinct, 509,
Seventh Precinct and 110 will respond.

1463
01:25:25,121 --> 01:25:27,624
Use caution.
Emergency service truck responding.

1464
01:25:27,749 --> 01:25:31,502
'Attention all cars. Particular attention,
cars in Lower Manhattan.'

1465
01:25:31,628 --> 01:25:33,630
In connection with the signal 32,

1466
01:25:33,755 --> 01:25:35,757
block off and surround
both sides of the street.

1467
01:25:35,882 --> 01:25:37,550
Be on the lookout for two men.

1468
01:25:37,675 --> 01:25:40,595
One, Detective James Halloran,
26 years old.

1469
01:25:40,720 --> 01:25:41,804
'Two, William Garzah,

1470
01:25:41,929 --> 01:25:44,515
'wanted in connection with a homicide
in the 20th Precinct.

Garzah may be armed.'

haven't you?

1473
01:27:49,515 --> 01:27:51,601
'Well, he's a tough cookie.

1474
01:27:51,726 --> 01:27:54,687
'You better follow routine now.
Report in.'

01:28:08,868 --> 01:28:11,871
(Chattering)

1476

(Narrator) 'The cops
are on a manhunt, Garzah.

'You need a plan. You've got
to get out of this neighbourhood.

Maybe you're being shadowed.

'You gotta get out
of this neighbourhood, Garzah.

1481

is safer for you than a taxi.

'Tough luck.
But you can't wait for the next one.

Wait a minute, fella.
I'll tell you when.

1487
01:29:45,715 --> 01:29:47,133
OK.

- Dan, Garzah's the guy.
- I know. I know. Where is he?

1492
01:30:10,948 --> 01:30:13,993
I don't know, I lost him.
But he's around here someplace.

Halloran's after him!

01:31:06,337 --> 01:31:07,755
They're running
towards the Brooklyn end.

1503
01:31:07,880 --> 01:31:09,966
You stay with Halloran!
Don't shoot unless you have to!

1504
01:31:10,091 --> 01:31:11,926
You two stay with him.

1505
01:31:22,895 --> 01:31:26,148
Get radio. Have them send a car
from the Brooklyn end.

1506
01:31:26,941 --> 01:31:30,611
You boys, get in.
You two, cover this end.

1507
01:31:33,322 --> 01:31:36,492
(Siren wailing)

1508
01:31:43,416 --> 01:31:45,376
(Siren continues)

1509
01:31:53,592 --> 01:31:56,429
That tower up ahead on the left...
you boys will get out there.

1510
01:31:56,554 --> 01:31:58,806
- Watch for Garzah from that angle.
- Right.

1511
01:31:58,931 --> 01:32:00,933
(Siren continues)

1512
01:32:40,765 --> 01:32:42,266
(Gunshot)

1513
01:32:59,950 --> 01:33:01,952
Hold it! Hold it, boys!

1514
01:33:02,078 --> 01:33:05,122
Come on down.
We want no dead heroes.

1515
01:33:05,706 --> 01:33:07,958
There's no place
he can go to now.

1516
01:33:16,675 --> 01:33:20,596
Garzah, come on down!

1517
01:33:20,721 --> 01:33:24,058
You've got a chance
if you come down now!

1518
01:33:24,183 --> 01:33:26,018
I'm tellin' my men not to shoot!

1519
01:34:31,125 --> 01:34:35,796
All right, Garzah,
we give you 100% in acrobatics!

1520
01:34:35,921 --> 01:34:37,673
Now will you come down
under your own power,

1521
01:34:37,798 --> 01:34:39,300
or do you want a little persuasion?

1522
01:34:39,425 --> 01:34:41,177
What do you say, Garzah?

1523
01:34:48,309 --> 01:34:50,978
(Screaming)

1524
01:34:55,191 --> 01:34:57,902
