I've been ringing Murray Hill 3-5097

will you ring it for me, please?

00:02:11,500 --> 00:02:14,400
"Murray Hill 3-5097.
One moment, please."

7
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,300
My husband's office.
He should have been home hours ago.

8
00:02:17,300 --> 00:02:20,500
I can't think what's keeping him
or why the wire should be busy.

00:02:20,500 --> 00:02:22,700
They always close at 6 o'clock.

Hello, Mr Stevenson please.
"Hello?"

I want to speak to

"Hello, George?"
Hello, who is this?

17
00:02:38,500 --> 00:02:41,600
"I got your message, George,
everything OK for tonight?"

18
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:42,600
"Everything's OK -"

19
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,600

I'm using this wire.

"Still 11:15, George?"
"11:15 is right."

00:02:48,300 --> 00:02:51,000
"Got it all straight now, I hope?"
"Yeah, I think so."

"At 11:00 the private patrolman

23
00:02:53,100 --> 00:02:56,000

still don't wanna use the gun?"

"Our client wishes to make it look
like simple robbery."

that's very important."

Hello? Hello?!

40
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,300
"Your call, please?"
You've just given me a wrong number.

41
00:03:50,300 --> 00:03:52,800
"I'm sorry, madam,
what number were you calling?"

42
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,500
I was calling Murray Hill 3-5097,
my husband's office.

43
00:03:56,500 --> 00:03:59,500
Instead I was cut into some
other number that you dialled,

44
00:03:59,500 --> 00:04:01,300
the wires must have crossed.

45
00:04:01,300 --> 00:04:03,100
I've just heard
the most dreadful thing.

46
00:04:03,100 --> 00:04:05,000
A murder.
"Yes, madam."

47
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,500
I want you to get that wrong number
back for me at once.

48
00:04:07,500 --> 00:04:10,200
"I'm sorry, madam,
I do not understand."

49
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:14,200
You dialled a number for me, just
a moment ago, Murray Hill 3-5097.

50
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:18,700
It was busy for so long and
I asked you to get it and you did.

51
00:04:18,700 --> 00:04:22,000
Then those horrible men came on...

52
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,500
It's unnerved me dreadfully,
I'm an invalid -

53
00:04:24,500 --> 00:04:27,400
"I will connect you
with the chief operator." Please.

54
00:04:39,700 --> 00:04:41,400
"Operator."

55
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,300
Chief operator, I'm an invalid

56
00:04:43,300 --> 00:04:46,200
and I've had a dreadful shock
tonight over the telephone.

57
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,800
I'm very anxious to trace the call.
It was about a murder.

58
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:54,700
A terrible cold blooded murder
of a poor, innocent woman at 11:15.

59
00:04:54,700 --> 00:04:57,100
I was trying to reach
my husband's office.

60
00:04:57,100 --> 00:05:00,900
He should have been home hours ago.
I'm all alone tonight.

61
00:05:00,900 --> 00:05:02,500
My nurse has the night off

62
00:05:02,500 --> 00:05:07,000
because my husband had promised, he'd
sworn, he'd be home by 6 o'clock.

63
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,100
I don't know any of the neighbours
as we live permanently in Chicago.

64
00:05:10,100 --> 00:05:12,800
It so happens that the couple
I have working for me

65
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,700
had some important date or other,
a movie I suppose.

66
00:05:15,700 --> 00:05:17,800
They said it was promised them
three weeks ago.

67
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,800
You'd have thought they'd
check with me before leaving,

68
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,000
had some realisation of my condition.

69
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,800
I've been ringing the bell
for nearly an hour,

70
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:30,100
hoping they'd come back
and there isn't a sound downstairs,

71
00:05:30,100 --> 00:05:31,200
not a sound.
"Yes, madam."

72
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:35,000
As a say, when I kept getting the
busy signal in my husband's office,

73
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,400
I naturally dialled the operator
and told her to try it and she did.

74
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:39,700
Then, out of a clear sky,

75
00:05:39,700 --> 00:05:43,200
I was cut into this ghastly
conversation between two killers.

76
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,600
Now, I'd like you to trace it
for me at once.

77
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,600
"Well, madam, that depends."
Depends on what?

78
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,900
"On whether they've
stopped talking."

79
00:05:50,100 --> 00:05:52,600
Of course
they've stopped talking by now!

80
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,800
It was just a short call.
They weren't exactly gossiping.

81
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,100
"What are your reasons
for having this call -"

82
00:05:58,100 --> 00:06:01,600
Reasons?! Do I have to have a reason
when I overhear two murderers?

83
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:02,900
Isn't it obvious?

84
00:06:02,900 --> 00:06:06,700
Look here, my good woman,
you probably don't understand

85
00:06:06,700 --> 00:06:08,000
but a human being, a woman,

86
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,400
is going to be killed somewhere,
somewhere in this very city.

87
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,000
This murder is going to take place
tonight, tonight at 11:15.

88
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,800
Isn't that a good enough reason?

89
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:18,600
"I quite understand, madam,

90
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,000
"but I suggest you turn this
information over to the police."

91
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,900
For heaven's sakes,
all this idiotic red-tape!

92
00:06:23,900 --> 00:06:25,700
You just sit there
and let people die!

93
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,700
"Your call, please?"
Give me the police.

94
00:06:35,700 --> 00:06:38,500
"Yes madam,
ringing the police department."

95
00:06:38,500 --> 00:06:41,600

But there's lots of people
by the name of George.

106
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:11,500
As for the private patrolman on
Second Avenue and the bridge,

107
00:07:11,500 --> 00:07:13,400
Second Avenue is a very long street.

108
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:17,400
And do you happen to know how many
bridges there are in New York alone?

109
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,900
Not to mention Brooklyn,
Staten Island, Queens and the Bronx.

110
00:07:20,900 --> 00:07:23,400
Telephones are very funny things.

111

are committed every day,

if we could stop them, we would.

113
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,700
A clue of this kind is so vague,

114
00:07:29,700 --> 00:07:32,300
it's not much more use to us
than no clue at all.

115
00:07:32,300 --> 00:07:33,700
Unless you think there's something

116
00:07:33,700 --> 00:07:36,300
phoney about it and somebody's
planning to murder you. Me?

117
00:07:36,300 --> 00:07:39,500
Of course not.
That would be ridiculous.

for you to worry about.

Then why didn't he come home?

147

Business? What business?

148
00:09:37,100 --> 00:09:40,500
Didn't I tell him time and again
his first consideration is to you?

149
00:09:40,500 --> 00:09:42,400
I'll worry about the business.

It may be just a gag.

OK. There's a telephone call
for Miss Elizabeth Jennings.

169
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,100
Number 46.

170
00:10:49,100 --> 00:10:53,300
Miss Elizabeth Jennings
is wanted on the phone.

171
00:10:53,300 --> 00:10:55,700
Number 23, 23.

172
00:10:55,700 --> 00:11:01,000
23! All I need now is 14 or 65.

173
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:02,900
Miss Jennings.
Just a second, please.

174
00:11:02,900 --> 00:11:05,000
We're getting pretty close now,
ladies.

175
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,900
Pretty close to that

The next number is...

177
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,300
You're wanted on the phone.
Mrs Stevenson.

178
00:11:12,300 --> 00:11:14,600
Number 59.
Bingo!

179
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,000
Oh, baloney!
May I check those numbers please?

180
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,300
What were you saying?

181
00:11:18,300 --> 00:11:21,800
Mrs Stevenson wants to speak to you.
She said it's very important.

182
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,800
Mrs Stevenson? Why for
heaven's sakes didn't you say so?

183

(CAT MEWS)

184
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:38,600
Hello?

185
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,200
I beg your pardon, Mrs Stevenson,
I had no idea.

186
00:11:41,300 --> 00:11:44,400
You're the last person on earth
I'd ever keep waiting.

187
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,500
"Mr Stevenson isn't home."
Mr Stevenson not home?

188
00:11:47,500 --> 00:11:49,500
"Do you know where he is?"
Why, no, I don't.

189
00:11:49,500 --> 00:11:51,600
"He was due to come home
hours ago."

190
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,100
That is odd, isn't it?

191
00:11:53,100 --> 00:11:55,700
Last time I saw him he was leaving
to keep an appointment.

192
00:11:55,700 --> 00:11:58,200
"Where?"
No, I don't know where,

193
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:02,200
but I do know he had a lunch date
with a young lady.

194
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,400
"Yes, rather good-looking."

195
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,200
"She came into the office
this morning,

196
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,400
"said her name was Lord.
Mrs Frederick Lord."

197
00:12:09,300 --> 00:12:12,700
"Seemed very anxious to see him,
waited for him at least two hours."

198
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,700
Mr Stevenson, someone to see you.

199
00:12:23,700 --> 00:12:26,100
Some other time.
I told you, I'm busy today.

200
00:12:26,100 --> 00:12:27,100
Hello, Henry.

201
00:12:28,900 --> 00:12:31,700
Don't you remember me?
Why, sure, sure.

202
00:12:32,900 --> 00:12:34,600
Now, what do you know?

203
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:35,900
Come in, won't you?

204
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,000
"Yes, that's just the way
he greeted her, Mrs Stevenson."

205
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,300
"He didn't seem to be expecting her

206
00:12:42,300 --> 00:12:45,000
"but I'm sure she was somebody
of importance to him."

207
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,800
"Unfortunately I couldn't hear
much of what they said."

208
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:49,800
"The conversation wasn't very long."

209
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,200
"I do know that he made a date
to meet her later."

210
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,800
I'll be there in about an hour,
ask for Maurice.

211
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:56,300
Thank you. I'll be there.

212
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:03,400
"I don't know why,
but he didn't leave with her."

213
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,400
I'll be back later this afternoon.
If anyone calls, take the message.

214
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,900
I'll be in touch with you.
Yes, Mr Stevenson.

215
00:13:08,900 --> 00:13:11,400
"I don't know where he went
after that,

216
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:15,700
"all I know is I never saw
or heard from him again all day."

217
00:13:16,300 --> 00:13:18,300
"It was 6:30 when I went home."

218
00:13:18,300 --> 00:13:22,800
"I was practically the last to leave
except for Jimmy, the porter."

219
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,500
"No, he didn't even come back
to get his messages."

220
00:13:25,500 --> 00:13:26,800
"There was only one."

221
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,300
"Some man on Staten Island
who keeps calling him every week."

222
00:13:30,300 --> 00:13:34,600
"A Mr Evans.
Regular pest he is too."

223
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,500
On the other hand,
it's not unusual

224
00:13:36,500 --> 00:13:38,600
for Mr Stevenson
to stay away all day.

225
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,000
I'm sure it's nothing
to worry about.

226
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,800
Now, Mrs Stevenson, I hope I haven't
let any cat out of the bag.

227
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,900
I'm sure it was all quite harmless.

228
00:13:47,900 --> 00:13:52,500
Mr Stevenson seems so devoted,
speaks so beautifully of you.

229
00:13:52,500 --> 00:13:54,500
Did you like the flowers this week?

230
00:13:54,500 --> 00:13:56,000
I had the feeling -

231
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:01,200
I mean I thought camellias might
be sweet, for a change, you know?

I could reach -"

No, a lady for Mommy.

I don't know why you're not asleep.

Sally, will you do something
about Peter still being up?

Oh, yes. "That the said
Henry Stevenson did..."

Certainly. I...

"You're not keeping
something from me?"

Oh no, no.
Could I call you back, please?

a third of a cup of shortening.

with a little sugar,

add a liberal table spoon of flour.

better dancers around.

knows her way around the floor.

I'm afraid there is.
My father owns it.

You mean... JB Cotterell?

Not at places like this.

I never finished high school,

330
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,300
not that I wouldn't have liked to.

331
00:20:37,300 --> 00:20:40,700
Neither did my father.
He never got past the seventh grade.

332
00:20:40,700 --> 00:20:42,800
You don't say?
My father always says,

"If a man hasn't any talent
for making money,

"college won't knock it in to him.
If he has a talent for making money,

335
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,500
"why should he waste his time
in college?"

336
00:20:50,500 --> 00:20:51,900
There's something in that too.

337
00:20:51,900 --> 00:20:54,700
Your old man ought to know
when it comes to making money.

338

(SONG ENDS / APPLAUSE)

339
00:20:57,500 --> 00:21:00,200
I'll be getting along now.
Just a minute.

340
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,300
What do you say
we sit in the next one out?

341
00:21:02,300 --> 00:21:06,800
Sit it out, what for?
I've got my own car off campus.

342
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,000
It's a Lagonda.
I just got it from Europe.

343
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,600
Did you ever drive one?
Never heard of it.

344
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,800
Besides,
Sally's probably looking for me.

345
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,800
What difference does that make?
This is a public dance, isn't it?

346
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:18,600
Don't worry,
she'll never miss you.

347
00:21:18,700 --> 00:21:24,300
Oh yeah? What about me missing her?
Did that idea ever strike you?

348
00:21:24,300 --> 00:21:29,500
Don't be silly.
For once I'm not kidding.

349
00:21:29,500 --> 00:21:31,000
Neither am I.

350
00:21:31,900 --> 00:21:33,100
So long, Miss Cotterell.

351
00:21:33,100 --> 00:21:36,000
I'm sorry I can't oblige that
Lagonda or whatever you call it.

352
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,400
Sally Hunt.

353
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,400
I'd never put the two of you
together in a million years. Why?

354
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,800
You're both so different.
You belong in different worlds.

355
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,700
You don't belong here
in Grassville, Henry.

356
00:22:03,700 --> 00:22:07,000
What makes you say that?
Just a feeling.

357
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:08,300
I've been around a good deal

358
00:22:08,300 --> 00:22:12,500
and I think I can spot the real thing
a mile away.

359
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:17,600
Isn't that Grassville over there,
Henry? Yes.

360
00:22:20,300 --> 00:22:24,500
I guess we'd better turn around.
Why? It's nice here. Think so?

361
00:22:24,500 --> 00:22:27,000
Stick around a few years
and see how much you like it.

362
00:22:28,900 --> 00:22:31,500
(MUSIC PLAYS)

363
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:40,000
Henry, that woman back there
who opened the door for me,

364
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:43,200
was she your mother?
My mother's dead.

365
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,800
That's strange, so is mine.
She died when I was born.

366
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,100
What was your mother like?
I don't know.

367
00:22:49,100 --> 00:22:51,800
You mean she died young too?
She died last year.

368
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:53,300
But I never knew her.

369
00:22:53,300 --> 00:22:54,200
All she ever was to me

370
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,700
was just a line of wet clothes
hung across the kitchen.

371
00:22:57,700 --> 00:23:01,700
A mess of greasy pots and pans
piled in the sink.

372
00:23:01,700 --> 00:23:04,100
All I ever saw of her was...
yellow soap and a mop

373
00:23:04,100 --> 00:23:06,900
and her old run-over shoes
standing in the closet.

374
00:23:08,300 --> 00:23:09,300
It's funny, I guess,

375
00:23:09,300 --> 00:23:14,400
but when I saw her lying there on
the undertaking parlour last year,

376
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,700
she seemed to me
like somebody I hardly knew.

377
00:23:18,500 --> 00:23:20,400
I don't know why
I'm telling you all this,

378
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,200
there's nothing pretty or nice
about my life anyway.

379
00:23:26,900 --> 00:23:29,400
Cigarette?
Thanks.

380
00:23:31,500 --> 00:23:33,900
What's the matter?
Nothing.

381
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,500
What do you do here in Grassville,
Henry?

382
00:23:40,500 --> 00:23:41,700
I have a job.

383
00:23:41,700 --> 00:23:44,500
A meal ticket until I can
save enough to get out of here.

384
00:23:44,500 --> 00:23:46,900
What kind of a job?
I work in a drugstore.

385
00:23:46,900 --> 00:23:51,500
A drugstore?! That is a coincidence.
Heck of a coincidence(!)

386
00:23:51,500 --> 00:23:54,800
I work in a drugstore
and your father owns 100 of them.

387
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,100
Would you like to meet him, Henry?

388
00:23:58,100 --> 00:24:00,200
Who are you kidding?
Nobody.

389
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,500
I think Dad will like you very much.

390
00:24:03,500 --> 00:24:06,200
You're young, healthy, ambitious.

391
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,700
You probably know the drug business
upside-down.

392
00:24:09,700 --> 00:24:13,800
I wouldn't say that, Leona.
Leona? That's nice.

393
00:24:13,700 --> 00:24:15,200
Call me Leona again.

394
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,600
I just work in a drugstore,
that's a different thing.

395
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,400
But I like you.

396
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,900
That's a different thing too.
Like me, like you.

397
00:24:22,900 --> 00:24:26,100
Come on, we're acting like a couple
of kids playing cat and mouse.

398
00:24:26,100 --> 00:24:29,200
Besides what does a dame like you
want with a guy like me?

399
00:24:31,900 --> 00:24:33,000
May I?

400
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,500
Dad is coming to New York
on business next weekend.

401
00:24:40,500 --> 00:24:43,500
I'm cutting my classes on Saturday.

402
00:24:43,500 --> 00:24:44,700
Want to come with me?

403
00:24:50,100 --> 00:24:52,600
I... don't quite know
how to say it, Leona -

404
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:56,000
Say it and get it over with.
I'm leaving in a few minutes.

405
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,700
You've been seeing a lot of Henry,
haven't you?

406
00:24:58,700 --> 00:25:02,000
Yes, what about it?
I felt that I ought to warn you.

407
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:03,000
Warn me?

408
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,400
Henry is not the kind of man
to play around with.

409
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,600
Don't play around with him any more.

410
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,500
Who says I'm playing around with him?

411
00:25:09,500 --> 00:25:14,000
He's just not your type.
You know it as well as I do.

412
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:15,400
I like your nerve.

413
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,200
Henry's poor, Leona, he's been
bitterly poor all his life.

414
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:22,000
I know that wouldn't have matter to
some boys but it does matter to him.

415
00:25:22,100 --> 00:25:23,700
I've known him all my life.

416
00:25:23,700 --> 00:25:25,300
Henry's father was a drunkard.

417
00:25:25,300 --> 00:25:28,600
He'd work one day and drink up
every penny in the house the next.

418
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,500
There were eight children.
So?

419
00:25:30,500 --> 00:25:33,000
What does all this got to do
with the price of eggs?

420
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:34,500
Leona, don't turn his head,

421
00:25:34,500 --> 00:25:36,900
or he'll never be able
to find himself again.

422
00:25:36,900 --> 00:25:38,900
You mean you can't stand
the competition.

423
00:25:38,900 --> 00:25:42,000
That's not the point.
Apple sauce, in case you don't know,

424
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,300
I happen to think a great deal
of Henry Stevenson.

425
00:25:44,300 --> 00:25:47,200
He's much too good for that town.
I never said he wasn't.

426
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,600
If I wanna make something of him,
show him a good time,

427
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,000
introduce him to people,
that's my business.

428
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:56,300
If I want to marry him,
that's my business too.

429
00:25:56,300 --> 00:25:57,900
Marry him?

430
00:25:58,700 --> 00:26:01,400
You don't mean that.
You couldn't possibly.

431
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,600
Why couldn't I?

432
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:07,500
Because... Because I happen to be
in love with him, Leona.

433
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,900
So am I and I don't go around
rationalising my emotions either.

434
00:26:10,900 --> 00:26:13,000
When I want something,
I fight for it.

435
00:26:14,100 --> 00:26:16,900
And I usually manage to get it.

436
00:26:18,100 --> 00:26:19,600
The fellow has nothing,

437
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,600
no background, no education,
no training.

438
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,100
What did you have when you started
in Amarillo, Texas?

439
00:26:25,100 --> 00:26:28,200
Look, I've spent money on your
education, taken you abroad,

440
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:29,600
given you everything.

441
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,200
What do you want to throw yourself
away for? I love him.

442
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,000
Love him? Come on.

443
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,500
If I really thought you did,
I'd be the first to -

444
00:26:37,500 --> 00:26:41,300
What's the matter?
You make me laugh.

445
00:26:41,300 --> 00:26:43,600
Why don't you be honest
with yourself just once?

446
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:45,800
What does it matter to you
if I love him or not?

447
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,600
You want me to stay home here
with you for the rest of your life.

448
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,400
Honey, what parent doesn't
want to hold on to his child

449
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,200
until she has something better?

450
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,000
You've become so dependent on me,

451
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,400
you won't be happy
until I feel the same way about you!

452
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:58,900
What are you talking about?

453
00:26:58,900 --> 00:27:01,400
Haven't I always let you
do anything you wanted to do?

454
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:02,800
Marriage is something else.

455
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,500
I've worked hard, built up
a big business just for you.

456
00:27:05,500 --> 00:27:08,200
You wouldn't want to see
some worthless cluck of a husband -

457
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:09,900
Leave me alone!
Leona, don't -

458
00:27:09,900 --> 00:27:13,200
You're thinking only
of yourself and your business.

459
00:27:13,300 --> 00:27:15,000
You're hateful, selfish and hateful!

460
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,700
Leona, don't, please be calm
you'll make yourself sick.

461
00:27:17,700 --> 00:27:20,900
What good is your wonderful money
and business if I'm dead?

462
00:27:20,900 --> 00:27:23,400
That's what you want to do,
drive me into my grave.

463
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,400
You don't care as long
as your business is safe!

464
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,600
Leona, how can you say
a thing like that?

465
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:29,800
Don't touch me!
Leona! I said don't touch me!

466
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:33,000
Don't you dare touch me!
Leona, darling.

467
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:34,400
I'm sorry, I didn't mean it.

468
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:38,300
We'll talk this over again, dearest,
maybe we can work something out.

469
00:27:38,300 --> 00:27:40,000
Leona.

I've reserved a table at Maxine's.

480
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,700
The opera starts at 7:30,
you know how I hate being late.

481
00:29:12,700 --> 00:29:15,100
In a minute, sweet heart.
Where is your wallet?

482
00:29:15,100 --> 00:29:17,000
My wallet,
must be in my coat pocket.

483
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,300

00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:46,000
Hello?
"Hello? This is Sally again."

486
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:49,000
"Sorry I had to be so mysterious,
but I couldn't talk,

487
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:50,300
"my husband was there."

488
00:29:50,300 --> 00:29:52,700
It certainly was rather odd,
to say the least.

489
00:29:52,700 --> 00:29:54,800
This whole thing must seem
very peculiar to you.

490
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,000
Hearing from me
after all of these years.

491
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:00,300
But I had to see Henry again today.
I've been so worried about him.

492
00:30:00,300 --> 00:30:01,800
"Worried? About what?"

493
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:06,200
It's a little bit difficult
for me to explain.

494
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,000
"About five weeks ago, Fred,

495
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,700
"he's my husband and he works
in the District Attorney's office."

496
00:30:12,700 --> 00:30:15,600
Mmm... that's interesting.
What's interesting?

497
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,600
Drink your milk, Peter.
What were you saying, dear?

498
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:20,900
A funny coincidence
I read in the paper,

499
00:30:20,900 --> 00:30:23,900
about an old boyfriend of yours.
What old boyfriend?

500
00:30:23,900 --> 00:30:27,100
Didn't you used to be stuck on a guy
named Henry Stevenson?

501
00:30:27,100 --> 00:30:30,000
I used to know him, yes.
What's he done?

502
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,500
Just got his picture in the paper.
He and his wife.

503
00:30:33,500 --> 00:30:36,900
"Mr and Mrs Henry Stevenson,
she's the former Leona Cotterell,

504
00:30:36,900 --> 00:30:38,600
"Cough Drop Queen of Illinois,

00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:40,900
"have taken a house for summer
in New York."

506
00:30:40,900 --> 00:30:43,600
"Mrs Stevenson,
in poor health for several years,

507
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:47,100
"is here to consult the eminent
specialist, Dr Phillip Alexander."

508
00:30:47,100 --> 00:30:48,900
"Mr Stevenson is a Vice President

509
00:30:48,900 --> 00:30:51,800
"of the Cotterell Corporation
of Chicago." Hmm.

510
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:56,400
A Cough Drop Queen. That's funny.
Whoever heard of a Cough Drop Queen?

511
00:30:56,500 --> 00:30:58,600
He looks so different.
You think so?

512
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:02,200
What are you saving it for?
A case I'm working on just now.

513
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,400
Toast is burning.

514
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:05,400
Oh!

515
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:09,900
Fred?
Hm?

516
00:31:09,900 --> 00:31:11,800
I know it is supposed be a secret,

517
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,200
but why did you tear out
that clipping?

518
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,100
What possible connection
can Henry Stevenson have to you?

519
00:31:17,100 --> 00:31:20,200
No connection to me. Just a hunch
I'm working on right now.

520
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:24,300
What's it about?
A special investigation I'm doing.

521
00:31:24,300 --> 00:31:26,000
Henry hasn't done anything, has he?

522
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:29,300
I'm sorry, honey, but that's
one too many questions.

523
00:31:29,300 --> 00:31:31,400
Say, don't tell me
you're still stuck on the guy?

524
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,400
Don't be silly.
(PHONE RINGS)

525
00:31:38,300 --> 00:31:40,800
Finished, Peter?
Yes, Mom.

527
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:42,900
Yes, Joe.

528
00:31:42,900 --> 00:31:43,800
Yeah.

529
00:31:44,900 --> 00:31:46,500
Oh, you did?

530
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:51,400
Oh, great. How about Stevenson?

531
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:54,700
Oh, yeah?

532
00:31:54,700 --> 00:31:58,400
Now, that's pretty good news.
He fell for it, eh?

533
00:31:58,400 --> 00:31:59,600
Sure we'll go, sure.

534
00:32:00,300 --> 00:32:02,700
Tell Harpootlian to line it up.

535
00:32:02,700 --> 00:32:05,400
Yes, 5,000's enough.
Have it in 100 dollar bills,

536
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,500
be sure they're marked and keep
your mouth shut, for Pete's sake.

537
00:32:08,500 --> 00:32:11,200
OK. Thursday?

538
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:12,600
About 6:30.

539
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,600
South Ferry. Right, Joe.

540
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:21,000
"You'll probably think it wasn't any
of my business, Leona,

541
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:22,100
"and I suppose it wasn't.

542
00:32:22,100 --> 00:32:24,300
"But anyway at 6:30
that next Thursday,

543
00:32:24,300 --> 00:32:27,200
"I went down to South Ferry."

544
00:32:36,700 --> 00:32:38,500
"I don't know
what I expected to see,

545
00:32:38,500 --> 00:32:41,700
"as a matter of fact there wasn't
much I could see at first,

546
00:32:41,700 --> 00:32:46,000
"but obviously the stage
was all set for something."

547
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,600
"Joe, he's Fred closest friend
and is on his staff was there."

548
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:51,100
"There was another man with him."

549
00:32:51,100 --> 00:32:53,600
"I guess he was this
Harpootlian they mentioned."

550
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,700
"The one who was to bring
the $5,000 in marked money."

551
00:32:56,700 --> 00:33:00,200
Are you sure Fred knows
where we're supposed to meet him?

552
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:00,900
There he is.

553
00:33:02,700 --> 00:33:05,300
Sorry fellas, I'm a bit late.
Come on, let's go.

554
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:11,500
"It may all sound silly to you now,
Leona,

555
00:33:11,500 --> 00:33:14,100
"my spying on them
and poking around like that."

556
00:33:14,100 --> 00:33:16,700
"But something told me
I had to find out what was up."

557
00:33:16,700 --> 00:33:19,200
"I don't know,
I still can't explain why but I...

558
00:33:21,100 --> 00:33:22,700
"I just followed them."

559
00:33:40,300 --> 00:33:42,900
"It was one of the weirdest days
I've ever spent."

560
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,400
"Have you ever been
to Staten Island, Leona?"

561
00:33:52,300 --> 00:33:55,300
"Some parts of it, of course,
are thickly settled."

562
00:33:55,300 --> 00:33:59,200
"But other parts seem to exist
in a kind of dream,

563
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,200
"like the lonely beach
we went to that day."

564
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,800
"It was quite a desolate place,
Leona, far out on the island."

565
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,600
"No-one was inside except, yes,

566
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,200
"a young boy digging for clams
by the water's edge."

567
00:34:13,500 --> 00:34:15,000
"Further down
at the end of the beach,

568
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:18,400
"there was nothing
but a few broken down shacks."

569
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,300
"And back of them
an old deserted house."

570
00:34:36,100 --> 00:34:38,700
"A second later I saw Fred
and the other two men

571
00:34:38,700 --> 00:34:42,400
"walking up towards the end of
a small road leading to the beach."

572
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,900
"I couldn't quite make out if they
talked to the clam digger or not."

573
00:34:45,900 --> 00:34:48,100
"Anyhow, they entered
one of the shacks,

574
00:34:48,100 --> 00:34:52,700
"that looked to me
like an abandoned lunch stand."

575
00:34:52,700 --> 00:34:56,100
"It was then that my attention was
drawn to the strange-looking house."

576
00:34:56,100 --> 00:34:57,200
"It looked absolutely empty,

577
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,800
"as though it hadn't been lived in
for years."

578
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,500
"And yet, Leona, a freshly painted
sign was in front."

579
00:35:02,500 --> 00:35:08,000
"20 Dunstan Terrace. It seemed
to belong to somebody called Evans."

580
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:09,400
"W Evans."

581
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:14,800
"I waited there, watching.
I'd say for about an hour, Leona."

582
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:15,900
"Nothing happened."

583
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,600
"And then,
just as I was beginning to think

584
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:24,900
"it was all a wild goose chase,
I saw something."

585
00:35:24,900 --> 00:35:27,900
"Something quite strange."

"They were in there
for a good half hour."

"When they finally came out,
at first I didn't notice anything."

00:37:30,700 --> 00:37:32,400
"All I thought of
was how to get out of their way

591
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,700
"so they wouldn't see me as they
were heading straight toward me."

00:37:34,700 --> 00:37:38,200

and passed right in front of me,

was carrying the briefcase."

until he came home late that night."

"I was dying to ask
what happened there

596
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,200
"and what connection
it could have with Henry."

597
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:52,000

for the next five minutes."

601
00:37:59,300 --> 00:38:02,200
Just a minute, please,
I know I have another nickel.

602
00:38:04,900 --> 00:38:08,000
There. Are you still there, Leona?
"Yes, I'm here."

603
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:11,200
"This is one of the queerest things
I've ever heard."

604
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:15,000
I know. I just didn't seem
to be able to connect to Henry

605
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:16,900
with all this
mysterious activity either.

606
00:38:16,900 --> 00:38:20,300
That's why I went to see him today,
to find out the truth from him.

607
00:38:20,300 --> 00:38:21,800
"And did you?"
Scarcely.

608
00:38:23,100 --> 00:38:25,500
I'm sorry,
it took longer than I thought,

609
00:38:25,500 --> 00:38:27,500
I hope they took care of you.
Yes, thank you.

610

611
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:32,200
Tell Louise I'm expecting a call,
it's very important.

It's been a long time.

00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:41,100
I don't know,
I haven't been there for years.

616
00:38:41,100 --> 00:38:44,600
Huh? Oh, you wanted to see me,
Sally, what was it about?

617
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:48,000
It isn't easy for me to explain.

618
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:51,500
I've thought about you a great deal
in the past years, Henry

619
00:38:51,500 --> 00:38:55,700
and, well, yesterday -
Two martinis, extra dry, as always.

620
00:38:55,700 --> 00:39:00,400
Thank you.
Here's to good old Grassville.

621
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:02,500
Tell me about it,
what's happening up there?

622
00:39:02,500 --> 00:39:05,100
I told you, Henry,
I'm not living in Grassville.

623
00:39:05,100 --> 00:39:08,500
I'm married now, I live in New York.
Married? Well, what do you say?

624
00:39:08,500 --> 00:39:10,800
Anybody I know?
No, he's a lawyer.

625
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:14,200
He works in the district attorney's
office on special assignments.

626
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:16,700
That's why I - Pardon me, sir,
would you like to order?

627
00:39:16,700 --> 00:39:21,200
No thanks, in a minute. Maurice,
who is that man sitting behind me?

628
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:25,400
I don't know, Mr Stevenson,
I'm sorry. Thanks.

629
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:26,800
Forgive me, you were saying?

630
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:27,900
Do you want something else?

631
00:39:27,900 --> 00:39:29,400
No, thank you.

632
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,500
If you don't mind,
I'm kind of thirsty.

633
00:39:31,500 --> 00:39:33,200
Henry,
what I'm trying to say is this.

634
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:37,700
I saw you in the paper, about
being Vice President of Cotterell.

635
00:39:37,700 --> 00:39:39,000
Sounds beautiful, doesn't it?

636
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:40,700
You are still married to Leona?

637
00:39:40,700 --> 00:39:42,900
Sure, still married,
still live in Chicago.

638
00:39:42,900 --> 00:39:46,400
Work for my father-in-law. Biggest
drug business in the country.

639
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:47,500
What do you do there, Henry?

640
00:39:47,500 --> 00:39:50,200
Push buttons,
like other Vice Presidents.

641
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:53,200
I mean it seriously.
So do I, I'm the invoice King.

642
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:54,300
I supervise invoices made out

643
00:39:54,300 --> 00:39:57,200
on all stuff that goes
into the Cotterell bilge.

644
00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:00,600
Thousands of little OKs,
made out on little pieces of paper.

645
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:03,000
Not to mention five carbon copies.

646
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:04,000
How about some food?

647
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:05,900
Waiter.
Yes, sir?

648
00:40:05,900 --> 00:40:07,600
Tell Albert we're ready for lunch.

649
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:10,800
Henry, I only mean this
for your own good.

650
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:12,900
My husband was making out
a report yesterday -

651
00:40:12,900 --> 00:40:15,000
Your call Mr Stevenson.
Oh, thank you.

652
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:18,700
Will excuse me, Sally?
Order something, I'll be right back.

653
00:40:18,700 --> 00:40:19,700
"I waited a while then -"

654
00:40:19,700 --> 00:40:22,500
"Please deposit 5 cents
for the next five minutes."

655
00:40:23,900 --> 00:40:26,700
But I haven't got another nickel.

656
00:40:26,700 --> 00:40:28,900
Leona, Leona,
I have to call you back.

657
00:40:28,900 --> 00:40:32,300
I only want to say Henry never
came back from that telephone call.

658
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:34,300
He is in trouble, desperate trouble.

659
00:40:34,300 --> 00:40:36,200
Fred's working on a report tonight.

660
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:38,500
The case seems to be
coming to a head.

661
00:40:38,500 --> 00:40:39,600
He's been telephoning.

662
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,500
I've heard him mention Henry's name
over and over again.

663
00:40:42,500 --> 00:40:44,800
There's someone else in it too.
Evans.

664
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,300
"Your five minutes are up, madam."

665
00:40:47,300 --> 00:40:50,600
Waldo Evans. He owns the house
out on Staten Island. The one I saw.

666
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:52,800
"Pardon me, madam,
your five minutes are up."

667
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:54,300
Just a minute.
(CUTS OFF)

668
00:41:00,900 --> 00:41:02,500
Would you please
give me some change?

669
00:41:02,500 --> 00:41:03,700
I must make another call.

670
00:41:03,700 --> 00:41:06,100
I'm sorry,
we're closing up now, lady. But I...

671
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:23,100
(DOWNSTAIRS DOOR BUZZER)

672
00:41:32,300 --> 00:41:34,300
Who is it? Who is it?

673
00:41:34,300 --> 00:41:35,900
Wait a minute, I'm coming.

674
00:41:37,500 --> 00:41:41,200
Can you hear me? I am all alone here.

675
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:46,300
Who is it? For heaven's sake -

676
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:48,800
I can't come down,
I'm on the top floor and I'm sick!

677
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:50,200
(BUZZER STOPS)

678
00:41:54,900 --> 00:41:57,600
Wait a minute,
don't go away, I need help.

679
00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:00,300
Please. Please, don't go.
Can't you hear me?

680
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:03,300
(PHONE RINGS)

681
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:21,600
I had to call you from the subway.
It's Sally.

682
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:23,900
Can you hear me better now?

683
00:42:23,700 --> 00:42:26,700
The stores around here are closed
and I couldn't find a booth.

684
00:42:26,700 --> 00:42:29,600
I've been home since I spoke to you
and more's happened.

685
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:31,800
There was a police car
in front of the house.

686
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:34,500
"It seems that house
on Staten Island, the one I saw,

687
00:42:34,500 --> 00:42:36,100
"was burnt down this afternoon."

688
00:42:36,100 --> 00:42:37,900
"Police put a cordon round it."

689
00:42:37,900 --> 00:42:41,500
"They captured three men,
but this Waldo Evans escaped."

690
00:42:41,500 --> 00:42:45,500
But who is this Waldo Evans and
what is his connection with Henry?

691
00:42:45,500 --> 00:42:47,200
"I still haven't found out, Leona."

692
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:49,900
"But I know it's to do with
your father's company."

693
00:42:49,900 --> 00:42:51,800
My father's company?!
That's absurd.

694
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:55,200
My father called me from Chicago
tonight, he never mentioned a word!

695
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:58,200
"Let's get this thing straight.
Who's been arrested and why?"

696
00:42:58,200 --> 00:42:59,700
Three men, I don't know why.

697
00:42:59,700 --> 00:43:01,700
"Why do you think
Henry's one of them?"

698
00:43:01,700 --> 00:43:04,400
I didn't say he was,
he is involved somehow, terribly.

699
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:07,300
Did they say he's been arrested?
"Not exactly."

700
00:43:07,300 --> 00:43:10,400
Then what are you talking about?
Why are you calling me?

701
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:13,800
"Are you still jealous that I took
Henry away from you years ago?"

702
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:15,500
"Can't you bear to see me happy?"

703
00:43:15,500 --> 00:43:18,200
"Can't you stop telling lies
and making trouble, even now?"

704
00:43:25,700 --> 00:43:26,700
"Hello? Hello?!"

705
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:29,900
"What is the matter with you?"

706
00:43:29,900 --> 00:43:30,700
"Hello?"

707
00:43:30,700 --> 00:43:31,800
(MUFFLED)

708
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:34,200
Want some?
No, thanks.

709
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:37,700
I've got a hunch we ought to call
the chief before we go downtown.

710
00:43:37,700 --> 00:43:41,700
The train's here, we'll be there in
ten minutes, we'll call them then.

711
00:43:41,700 --> 00:43:42,800
OK.

712
00:43:53,100 --> 00:43:54,400
(PHONE RINGS)

713
00:43:54,900 --> 00:43:56,700
Hello?

714
00:43:56,700 --> 00:43:59,600
Yes, this is Plaza 5-1098.
What is it?

715
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:01,500
"This is Western Union."

716
00:44:01,500 --> 00:44:03,600
"I have a message
for Mrs Henry Stevenson."

717
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:05,600
"Is anyone there
to receive the message?"

718
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:08,400
This is Mrs Stevenson.
"The telegram is as follows."

719
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:12,100
"Mrs Henry Stevenson, 43
Sutton Place, New York, New York."

720
00:44:12,100 --> 00:44:14,800
"Darling, terribly sorry
but last minute remembered

721
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:17,600
"annual drug convention meeting,
Boston, tomorrow."

722
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:19,600
"Taking train out,
back Sunday morning."

723
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:22,200
"Keep well, all my love,
signed Henry."

724
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:25,700
"That is all, do you wish us
to deliver a copy of the message?"

725
00:44:25,700 --> 00:44:28,300
"Hello? Hello, ma'am?"

726
00:44:33,700 --> 00:44:36,700
(KILLER) "Then I wait until
the train goes over the bridge,

727
00:44:36,700 --> 00:44:39,300
"in case her window is open
and she should scream."

728
00:44:39,300 --> 00:44:41,400
(GEORGE) "Client says
coast is clear."

729
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:43,600
"Got your message, George,
OK for tonight?"

730
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:46,200
(JAMES) "Where's Henry?
Business? What business?"

731
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:48,900
(MISS JENNINGS)
"Mr Stevenson hasn't come in."

732
00:44:48,900 --> 00:44:50,800
(SALLY)
"Henry's in desperate trouble."

733
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:54,300
(HENRY) Terribly sorry, taking next
train out. Back Sunday morning."

734
00:44:54,300 --> 00:44:57,700
(KILLER) Then I wait... until
the train goes over the bridge.

735
00:44:57,700 --> 00:45:00,600
Then I wait... until the train
goes over the bridge.

736
00:45:04,900 --> 00:45:08,600
Dr Smith's office.
No, the doctor's not in right now.

737
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:12,000
About 11 o'clock. Thank you.

738
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,800
Dr. Alexander's office.
No madam, the doctor's not in.

739
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:16,100
May I take the message?

740
00:45:16,100 --> 00:45:17,500
What was that, madam?

741
00:45:17,500 --> 00:45:18,700
No, I could not say.

742
00:45:18,700 --> 00:45:21,700
If you gave me your name
and telephone number.

743
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:24,200
Yes, madam, I'll write it down.

744
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:29,000
Mrs Stevenson. Mrs Henry Stevenson.

745
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:34,700
Yes... Plaza 5-1098.

746
00:45:34,700 --> 00:45:36,200
I'll try to reach him for you.

747
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:58,800
Pardon me, sir.
Your office is calling.

748
00:45:58,900 --> 00:46:01,000
I'll be right back.
Order another drink.

749
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:03,900
That horrible old phone.
I hope it's nothing important.

750
00:46:03,900 --> 00:46:06,500
It wont be. Not tonight.

751
00:46:15,300 --> 00:46:18,800
"Doctor, I thought you'd never call.
You must come right over."

752
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:20,500
Come, I'm sure it's not
as bad as all that.

753
00:46:20,500 --> 00:46:21,700
Let's find out what's wrong.

754
00:46:21,700 --> 00:46:23,600
"Everything's wrong!
Come over at once."

755
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:26,100
I'm afraid I can't tonight,
Mrs Stevenson.

756
00:46:26,100 --> 00:46:28,700
Besides, we've gone into this
so many times before.

757
00:46:28,700 --> 00:46:30,600
If you'd just try to co-operate

758
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:32,900
with your husband and me
and our plan of action.

759
00:46:32,900 --> 00:46:34,600
Plan of action?

760
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:36,700
"Mrs Stevenson,
you know as well as I do."

761
00:46:36,700 --> 00:46:38,900
"I explained in my letter
over a week ago."

762
00:46:38,900 --> 00:46:42,000
What letter?
I never received any letter from you.

763
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:44,800
"Surely your husband,
hasn't he spoken to you?"

764
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:48,000
What about?
I must say, I don't understand.

765
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:49,200
Look, Mrs Stevenson,

766
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:52,700
I'm afraid this is not the time
or the place to go into all that.

767
00:46:52,700 --> 00:46:55,400
"Try to get some sleep,
compose yourself."

768
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:57,000
"Perhaps discuss it tomorrow."

769
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:00,100
You'll discuss it now,
now, this very minute!

770
00:47:00,100 --> 00:47:03,700
Alright, Mrs Stevenson.
Hold the phone for a second, please.

771
00:47:05,700 --> 00:47:08,500
Could you transfer this call
to the booth, please?

772
00:47:08,500 --> 00:47:11,300
Annie, will you switch
the doctor's call to the booth?

773
00:47:11,300 --> 00:47:12,200
Hold on a moment.

774
00:47:15,900 --> 00:47:16,800
Hello?

775
00:47:18,300 --> 00:47:21,300
Are you still there, Mrs Stevenson?
Yes, doctor, yes.

776
00:47:21,300 --> 00:47:24,300
If you insist upon knowing,
your husband called my office

777
00:47:24,300 --> 00:47:28,800
for the diagnosis of your case...
I'd say about ten days ago.

778
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:31,400
I discussed your condition with him
at that time.

779
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:32,900
It was then that I told him -

780
00:47:32,900 --> 00:47:34,600
From all accounts, Mr Stevenson,

781
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:37,800
your wife's illness dates back
to her early childhood.

782
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:41,500
Yet there were times, comparatively
long periods, of good health.

783
00:47:41,500 --> 00:47:44,400
Is that true?
Yes, I suppose so.

784
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:47,000
You mean to say you knew nothing
of your wife's illness

785
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:48,200
when you married her?

786
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:49,600
No.

787
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:54,300
How soon after your marriage
did it first manifest itself?

788
00:47:54,300 --> 00:47:55,700
Well, I...

789
00:47:57,300 --> 00:47:59,600
I don't remember the date exactly,

790
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:03,200
I should say it was a couple
of years after we were married.

791
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:07,900
You see, doctor, we were living
with her father then in Chicago.

792
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:12,500
Marie, will you get me
Mrs Stevenson's bag?

793
00:48:12,500 --> 00:48:14,500
About lunch today I...

794
00:48:14,500 --> 00:48:16,600
I'd like to have
Mrs Stevenson's bag.

795
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:19,600
It's alright, Marie.
Yes, madam. How much do you want?

796
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:21,200
How much do I...

797
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:24,200
I'm sorry to disappoint you,
but it isn't what you think.

798
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:27,700
I simply wrote Ferguson's
number in your notebook last night.

799
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:28,600
Yes, and?

800
00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:31,500
I was going to tell you, I have
a date for lunch with him today.

801
00:48:31,500 --> 00:48:34,700
Today? You know perfectly well
you're having lunch with me today.

802
00:48:34,700 --> 00:48:37,700
I won't be able to make it.
This date with Ferguson's important.

803
00:48:37,700 --> 00:48:40,300
Oh? More important than me,
I suppose?

804
00:48:40,300 --> 00:48:42,500
It isn't that,
I had a talk with him last night

805
00:48:42,500 --> 00:48:45,200
and he asked me to drop by.

806
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:48,800
It's about a job.
A job? You have a job.

807
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:51,100
Madam, is this the suit
you're going to wear?

808
00:48:51,100 --> 00:48:53,400
Marie, I'd like to speak
to Mrs Stevenson alone.

809
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:55,800
But madam is late -
Will you get out, please!

810
00:48:58,800 --> 00:48:59,600
What I mean to say, dear,

811
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:02,200
and I've been meaning to say it
for weeks,

812
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:04,900
is that... I don't belong
to your father's organisation.

813
00:49:04,900 --> 00:49:07,800
Sure, I married his daughter,
so I'm a Vice President now.

814
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:11,200
I have a nice office, my name
on the door. Even a secretary.

815
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:12,800
But what do I do? Nothing.

816
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:14,700
What do you wanna do? Run the place?

817
00:49:14,700 --> 00:49:17,700
No, I'd like to hope that some day
I'd get a chance to try.

818
00:49:17,700 --> 00:49:20,700
Working for your father is like...
like running in a dream.

819
00:49:20,700 --> 00:49:23,300
No matter how hard you try
you'll never get anywhere.

820
00:49:23,300 --> 00:49:25,200
Nonsense, Dad despises deadwood.

821
00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:27,600
Sure, only I happen to be
his son-in-law.

822
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:29,400
I'm not blind, Leona.

823
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:31,500
I'm married to you
so he'll never give me a chance.

824
00:49:31,500 --> 00:49:33,600
You're making mountains
out of molehills.

825
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:35,000
I'm trying to be honest.

826
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:37,400
I don't wanna graft off your charity
the rest of my life.

827
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:39,300
I want a chance,
a chance on my own.

828
00:49:39,300 --> 00:49:43,200
Only you're not getting the chance.
I won't have you traipsing around.

829
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:45,700
Just because Dad doesn't go
falling all over himself,

830
00:49:45,700 --> 00:49:48,800
you're not throwing away
a million-dollar business

831
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:49,600
for an idle whim.

832
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:52,000
It happens to be my business too,
you know.

833
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:55,000
And to think my own husband
turns up his nose at it.

834
00:49:55,900 --> 00:49:58,300
Will you ring for Marie, please?
I'm late already.

835
00:49:58,300 --> 00:50:02,300
Call Ferguson and tell him
you've changed your mind, hurry up.

836
00:50:04,500 --> 00:50:06,800
But I didn't change my mind, Leona.

837
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:10,300
You mean you're still going?
Yes.

838
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:12,900
I'm sure you'll see
it'll be better for both of us.

839
00:50:12,900 --> 00:50:16,700
Henry! Henry, wait!

840
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:21,500
No, you're not going. Not as long
as you're my husband. Leona.

841
00:50:21,500 --> 00:50:23,100
Don't be silly, Leona,
give me the key.

842
00:50:23,100 --> 00:50:25,000
You can't. You can't do this to me.

843
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:27,300
Nobody's ever done it.
Nobody, nobody!

844
00:50:27,300 --> 00:50:29,000
Please stop it and give me that key.

845
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:31,600
Henry, please,
if you love me at all don't do this.

846
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:35,600
I promise you, I'll talk to Dad,
I'll do anything you want,

847
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:37,700
only don't leave me, don't go away.

848
00:50:37,700 --> 00:50:40,100
Give me that key!
No, I won't, I won't, I won't!

849
00:50:40,100 --> 00:50:41,800
Henry! You're hurting me.

850
00:50:41,900 --> 00:50:43,200
Henry, please, I love you.

851
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:46,600
Henry, don't, I beg you.

852
00:50:50,500 --> 00:50:51,500
Henry.

853
00:50:52,300 --> 00:50:53,900
Henry!

854
00:50:53,900 --> 00:50:55,400
Henry...

855
00:51:05,100 --> 00:51:06,900
Good evening, Wilkins.

856
00:51:06,900 --> 00:51:07,800
Good evening, sir.

857
00:51:09,100 --> 00:51:11,600
Mrs Stevenson upstairs?
Yes, sir, she's upstairs.

858
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:23,300
What is this? Anybody sick?
I beg your pardon, sir.

859
00:51:23,300 --> 00:51:25,400
Henry. Henry, come here,
I want to talk to you.

860
00:51:28,900 --> 00:51:31,300
What's the matter?
Isn't Leona, I hope.

861
00:51:31,300 --> 00:51:35,000
Yes, it is. She had an attack today.
A heart attack, she almost died.

862
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:36,000
A heart attack?

863
00:51:37,100 --> 00:51:40,100
Come here. There's something
I want to discuss with you.

864
00:51:46,100 --> 00:51:48,800
You two have any words this morning?

865
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:51,300
Yes but what's that got to do
with Leona's heart?

866
00:51:51,300 --> 00:51:55,000
Weren't you supposed to have lunch
together today? Yes.

867
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:57,800
Why didn't you have lunch
with my daughter today?

868
00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:00,600
I had to see somebody else.
She didn't object to it, eh?

869
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:03,000
Yes, matter of fact,
we had an argument over it.

870
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:05,100
A rather private one.
About what?

871
00:52:05,100 --> 00:52:08,100
Mr Cotterell, if you don't mind,
I'd like to see my wife.

872
00:52:08,100 --> 00:52:10,400
You'll see her
when she's ready to see you.

873
00:52:11,500 --> 00:52:14,200
Wait a minute, Mr Cotterell,
what's this all about?

874
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:16,600
Sit down, Stevenson.
Just in case you don't know it,

875
00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:19,700
Leona's had a heart condition
since she was a girl.

876
00:52:19,700 --> 00:52:21,300
Her mother died of it
when she was born.

877
00:52:21,300 --> 00:52:23,700
Leona can't stand being treated
the way you did.

878
00:52:23,700 --> 00:52:26,100
She never has been
and she's not going to be now.

879
00:52:26,100 --> 00:52:29,100
What happens if once in a while
her husband has his own opinion?

880
00:52:29,100 --> 00:52:30,900
I don't give a hoot. Have them.

881
00:52:30,900 --> 00:52:33,900
Think anything you like,
but while you're in this house,

882
00:52:33,900 --> 00:52:35,700
you do what my daughter
tells you to do.

883
00:52:35,700 --> 00:52:39,000
I don't think this is the time
for this kind of discussion.

884
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:40,200
But I might as well tell you.

885
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:43,500
The argument I had with Leona
was about a very important decision.

886
00:52:43,500 --> 00:52:44,900
Oh, nonsense.

887
00:52:44,900 --> 00:52:47,200
A decision I made
as much for the sake

888
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:49,900
of my wife's future as for mine.
Now, if you'll excuse me.

889
00:52:49,900 --> 00:52:53,300
It was for the sake of her future
that you had lunch with Ferguson?

890
00:52:57,700 --> 00:52:59,200
Well?

891
00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:00,900
Did you get the job?

892
00:53:02,900 --> 00:53:03,900
No, I didn't.

893
00:53:03,900 --> 00:53:06,400
You think you are so bright,
Mr Stevenson.

894
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:09,800
Bill Ferguson sells me two million
dollars worth of dyes every year.

895
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:13,100
Who do you think he's going to care
more about, you or me?

896
00:53:13,100 --> 00:53:14,700
So that's what's happened.

897
00:53:14,700 --> 00:53:17,900
Let's see, who else in Chicago
would you like to have lunch with?

898
00:53:17,900 --> 00:53:21,000
About a job.
Go ahead, I'm open to suggestions.

899
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:22,900
Face up to it, Stevenson,
you haven't a chance.

900
00:53:22,900 --> 00:53:24,600
As long as you're my son-in-law,

901
00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:27,200
you're working for Cotterell's,
nobody else.

902
00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:29,000
Come on, Stevenson,
stop being a kid.

903
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:30,900
If you cared for Leona the way I do,

904
00:53:30,900 --> 00:53:33,200
I'm sure you'd do
the same thing in my place.

905
00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:35,800
Besides, you haven't done
so badly for yourself.

906
00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:37,300
Even if you think you have,

907
00:53:37,300 --> 00:53:40,100
it's still a whole lot better
than Grassville.

908
00:53:40,100 --> 00:53:42,700
You'd better go and see Leona.

909
00:53:42,700 --> 00:53:44,300
She's asking for you.

910
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:48,600
"Maybe I shouldn't have
given in, doctor."

911
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:51,500
"Maybe that was the moment
to pull out."

912
00:53:51,500 --> 00:53:54,100
"Yes, things might
have been different."

913
00:53:54,100 --> 00:53:55,100
"But somehow I couldn't."

914
00:53:55,100 --> 00:53:58,300
"Probably the old man
wasn't altogether wrong about me."

915
00:53:58,300 --> 00:54:01,600
"No, I couldn't go back
to Grassville any more."

916
00:54:02,700 --> 00:54:05,600
I suppose from that day on
I began to... To compromise.

917
00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:07,700
Always with the hope
in the back of my mind,

918
00:54:07,700 --> 00:54:10,500
that some day I'd win out on my own.

919
00:54:10,500 --> 00:54:13,700
How long did this attack
of Mrs Stevenson's last?

920
00:54:13,700 --> 00:54:15,000
She got well pretty quickly.

921
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:17,200
For a while everything
straightened out.

922
00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:19,600
I was given a new office,
even a new title.

923
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:21,900
But before long
we were back where we started.

924
00:54:21,900 --> 00:54:25,100
You mean she suffered another
attack? Yes, several.

925
00:54:25,100 --> 00:54:29,100
I remember one day in particular,
it was about a year later.

926
00:54:29,100 --> 00:54:33,200
I had an idea that I hoped
might help the situation.

927
00:54:33,700 --> 00:54:35,300
The first step on your left, sir -

928
00:54:35,300 --> 00:54:38,300
I have a key right here.
Very good, sir. This way, Leona.

929
00:54:38,300 --> 00:54:41,400
Don't you think it's time
you let me in on this little secret?

930
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:43,500
Let me show your first.
Just a minute.

931
00:54:43,500 --> 00:54:45,900
If it's another apartment,
I don't want it.

932
00:54:46,100 --> 00:54:48,300
You haven't even seen it,
it's really something.

933
00:54:48,300 --> 00:54:51,000
Terraces all the way around,
45ft living room, come on.

934
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:54,600
I've told you a thousand times,
we don't need an apartment.

935
00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:56,400
It isn't an apartment
I'm looking for.

936
00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:58,200
I want a home of our own.

937
00:54:58,300 --> 00:55:00,600
We can't go on living
with your father forever.

938
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:01,900
I don't see why not.

939
00:55:01,900 --> 00:55:04,100
Plenty of room,
it's comfortable, I like it.

940
00:55:04,100 --> 00:55:06,600
Besides, who's paying
for this little thing?

941
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:08,500
I hope eventually I will.
Eventually.

942
00:55:08,500 --> 00:55:10,300
But in the meantime it's my money

943
00:55:10,300 --> 00:55:12,000
and I'm the one
who's going to pay for it.

944
00:55:17,100 --> 00:55:18,100
Henry.

945
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:21,400
Henry, you are so naive.

946
00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:23,200
Like a little boy
with a box of candy.

947
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:26,300
I can't just throw my money away,
there's a limit!

948
00:55:26,300 --> 00:55:27,700
Sure there's a limit.

949
00:55:27,700 --> 00:55:30,700
I'm supposed to follow you around
like a pet dog tied to a chain.

950
00:55:30,700 --> 00:55:33,400
Like whatever crumbs you throw me.
Don't be ridiculous.

951
00:55:33,400 --> 00:55:35,200
Got me sewed up 16 different ways,

952
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:37,100
for three meals a day
and pocket money.

953
00:55:37,100 --> 00:55:40,000
That's all you care about,
all you married me for, my money.

954
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:42,700
I should have known - Stop it,
let's not go to pieces.

955
00:55:42,700 --> 00:55:44,500
Please, for once, listen to me.

956
00:55:44,500 --> 00:55:47,500
You hate me, you're bored with me.
All you wanna do is get away.

957
00:55:47,500 --> 00:55:49,000
OK, I'm bored, bored stiff.

958
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:51,500
Who wouldn't be with that routine
you got cooked up?

959
00:55:51,500 --> 00:55:53,100
What do I do but run back and forth

960
00:55:53,100 --> 00:55:55,400
between rotten office
and stuffy house?

961
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:57,500
What do I have? Nothing.
Nothing of my own.

962
00:55:57,500 --> 00:55:59,500
Not studs on my shirt,
matches in my pocket.

963
00:55:59,500 --> 00:56:01,400
Henry, how can you say this to me?

964
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:04,300
Remember? You told me once,
I'd love this kind of life.

965
00:56:04,300 --> 00:56:06,400
You wanna know something?
I do love it.

966
00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:09,600
I love it now more than you'll ever
know, but I wanna be my own boss.

967
00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:12,900
Not just a stooge on the outside
looking in, get it?

968
00:56:12,900 --> 00:56:13,800
Get me some water.

969
00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:15,500
It isn't I wanna be without you.

970
00:56:15,500 --> 00:56:18,300
I could love you still,
if only you'd understand.

971
00:56:18,300 --> 00:56:20,100
Henry, I feel ill.

972
00:56:20,100 --> 00:56:23,700
"I came to know her better,
of course, after a while"

973
00:56:23,700 --> 00:56:25,700
"I held my temper about everything."

974
00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:33,000
"Even so,
no matter how hard I tried,

975
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:36,600
"her attacks increased in violence
and became more and more frequent."

976
00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:39,700
"Sometimes it was some little thing
that would set her off

977
00:56:39,700 --> 00:56:42,400
"and then, about a year ago,

978
00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:45,100
"she just seemed to give up hope
of ever getting well."

979
00:56:45,100 --> 00:56:47,700
"Took to her bed
more or less permanently."

980
00:56:47,700 --> 00:56:49,300
When we left for New York,

981
00:56:49,300 --> 00:56:52,700
Dr Vernet in Chicago told me
she didn't have much of a chance.

982
00:56:52,700 --> 00:56:55,400
Since then it's been more and more
like a nightmare.

983
00:56:57,900 --> 00:57:03,400
I don't know exactly
how to tell you this, Mr Stevenson.

984
00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:05,900
It will probably be
quite a shock to you.

985
00:57:05,900 --> 00:57:08,300
But if you want to know the truth
about your wife,

986
00:57:08,300 --> 00:57:12,000
there's absolutely nothing wrong
organically with her heart.

987
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:13,500
I've examined her thoroughly.

988
00:57:13,500 --> 00:57:16,600
Your evidence confirms
what I thought from the beginning.

989
00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:18,500
That is?
Her condition is mostly mental.

990
00:57:18,500 --> 00:57:21,000
She's what we call
a cardiac neurotic.

991
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:23,700
Her attacks don't spring
from physical weaknesses,

992
00:57:23,700 --> 00:57:27,400
they're brought on by her emotions,
her temper and her frustrations.

993
00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:31,200
The whole thing is probably
quite unconscious on her part.

994
00:57:31,200 --> 00:57:33,300
The pattern was laid out
by her father.

995
00:57:33,300 --> 00:57:35,200
The mother died of heart failure.

996
00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:38,300
He was always so sure
the child was affected too.

997
00:57:38,300 --> 00:57:40,800
Subconsciously she learnt
to deceive him,

998
00:57:40,800 --> 00:57:42,600
to simulate a false condition.

999
00:57:42,600 --> 00:57:44,700
Marriage continued the process.

1000
00:57:46,100 --> 00:57:47,400
I'm sorry.

1001
00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:50,600
It must have caught.
I hope I didn't break anything.

1002
00:57:50,600 --> 00:57:51,900
It's alright.

1003
00:57:51,900 --> 00:57:54,100
The number plate snapped off,
that's all.

1004
00:57:55,500 --> 00:57:58,200
Of course, I'm not saying
your wife isn't a sick woman.

1005
00:57:58,200 --> 00:57:59,900
Mentally she's very sick.

1006
00:57:59,900 --> 00:58:02,200
And her attacks are real enough.

1007
00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:05,400
They give her acute distress,
even pain.

1008
00:58:05,400 --> 00:58:07,500
But given proper
psychiatric treatment,

1009
00:58:07,500 --> 00:58:10,400
she may snap out of it entirely.
Live on for years and years.

1010
00:58:10,400 --> 00:58:13,600
Thank you very much, Mr Stevenson,
you've been most helpful.

1011
00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:15,500
I'll call on Mrs Stevenson tomorrow,

1012
00:58:15,500 --> 00:58:18,200
there's a psychiatrist
I want her to see. Just a minute.

1013
00:58:19,200 --> 00:58:22,100
I wish you could wait
a few more days, doctor. Could you?

1014
00:58:22,100 --> 00:58:24,800
I'd like to think this over.
Think it over?

1015
00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:29,100
Yes, you see, she's so easily upset
and I think maybe

1016
00:58:29,100 --> 00:58:32,600
I ought to prepare her,
get her used to the idea.

1017
00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:34,900
Naturally it will be quite a shock.

1018
00:58:34,900 --> 00:58:37,800
Perhaps a few days
won't matter very much.

1019
00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:39,800
Unless you wanted
to write her a letter?

1020
00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:41,800
It might make it easier
for her to take

1021
00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:44,000
and it would give me more time
to talk to her.

1022
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:45,700
It's a delicate matter,

1023
00:58:45,700 --> 00:58:48,700
but if you think you can manage it,
let's try it that way.

1024
00:58:48,700 --> 00:58:50,600
Give me a ring in a couple of days.

1025
00:58:50,600 --> 00:58:52,500
I'll write a letter to your wife.

1026
00:58:52,500 --> 00:58:54,300
Thank you very much for everything.

1027
00:58:54,300 --> 00:58:58,500
"That's the way I left it with him
not two weeks ago, Mrs Stevenson."

1028
00:58:58,500 --> 00:58:59,700
I simply don't understand

1029
00:58:59,700 --> 00:59:03,200
because I wrote you as we planned
on, let me see...

1030
00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:05,300
..a week ago last Friday.
(KNOCKS)

1031
00:59:05,300 --> 00:59:09,000
I'll call you back later tonight.
Now just try to lie back and relax.

1032
00:59:09,100 --> 00:59:12,800
I believe I prescribed
a sedative for you, didn't I?

1033
00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:15,400
Then just double the dose.
(CUTS OFF) Hello?

1034
00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:18,200
Hello, Mrs Stevenson? Hello?

1035
00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:27,100
Liars, liars, liars!
Liars! Liars! (SOBS)

1036
00:59:28,300 --> 00:59:30,200
(PHONE RINGS)

1037
00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:32,300
(CRIES)

1038
00:59:49,500 --> 00:59:51,600
Hello?
"Mrs Stevenson?" Yes.

1039
00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:54,100
"This is Mr Evans.
Has Mr Stevenson come in yet?"

1040
00:59:54,100 --> 00:59:57,000
No, he hasn't,
he won't be back until Sunday.

1041
00:59:57,000 --> 01:00:00,100
Will you please, Mr Evans,
tell me what this is all about?

1042
01:00:00,100 --> 01:00:03,600
Why are you calling him
every five minutes? Who are you?

1043
01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:08,900
I've already told you,
my name is Evans, Waldo Evans.

1044
01:00:08,900 --> 01:00:10,800
I'm very sorry if I've annoyed you,

1045
01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:14,300
but there are certain names
and addresses that are important,

1046
01:00:14,300 --> 01:00:17,500
very important,
for Mr Stevenson to know.

1047
01:00:17,500 --> 01:00:20,200
If you'll be good enough
to take the following message.

1048
01:00:20,200 --> 01:00:23,700
"What are you talking about?
I can't take any messages now!"

1049
01:00:23,700 --> 01:00:26,800
Tell Mr Stevenson that the house
at 20 Dunstan Terrace

1050
01:00:26,800 --> 01:00:30,300
"has been burned down."

1051
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:32,100
"I burned it down."

1052
01:00:32,100 --> 01:00:34,800
Also, please tell Mr Stevenson,

1053
01:00:34,700 --> 01:00:37,900
that I do not believe
it was Mr Morano,

1054
01:00:37,900 --> 01:00:43,200
the name is spelt M-O-R-A-N-O,
who betrayed us to the police.

1055
01:00:44,100 --> 01:00:47,100
As Mr Morano
has already been arrested,

1056
01:00:47,100 --> 01:00:49,600
so there's no necessity
for the money now.

1057
01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:51,600
Morano? Who is Morano?

1058
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:55,900
Thirdly, will you please tell
Mr Stevenson that I escaped

1059
01:00:55,900 --> 01:00:58,400
and am now at the Manhattan address.

1060
01:00:58,400 --> 01:01:02,500
However, I do not expect to be here
after midnight.

1061
01:01:02,500 --> 01:01:07,600
If he wishes to find me, he may
call the number - Bowery 2-1000.

1062
01:01:08,800 --> 01:01:12,100
"I believe that's all, if you'll be
so good as to read it back to me."

1063
01:01:12,100 --> 01:01:14,400
Read it back to you?
Are you insane?!

1064
01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:16,900
Don't you realise,
I'm a terribly sick woman?

1065
01:01:16,900 --> 01:01:20,100
I'm very sorry for you,
Mrs Stevenson.

1066
01:01:20,100 --> 01:01:22,400
Perhaps it would be better
to tell you,

1067
01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:26,700
before the true facts
are garbled by the police.

1068
01:01:29,200 --> 01:01:33,900
"It happened on the second Monday
in January of last year."

1069
01:01:33,900 --> 01:01:38,000
"The place was your father's plant
at Cicero, Illinois."

1070
01:02:07,600 --> 01:02:09,200
Working late?

1071
01:02:09,200 --> 01:02:12,000
Yes, I'm afraid so Mr Stevenson.
Catching up a little.

1072
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:15,800
I lost a little time last week.

1073
01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:33,700
Anything I can show you?
No thanks, just curious.

1074
01:02:33,700 --> 01:02:37,100
I've always been curious
about this department.

1075
01:02:37,100 --> 01:02:40,100
This is where the formulae for
products are developed, isn't it?

1076
01:02:40,100 --> 01:02:42,000
You could put it that way,
Mr Stevenson.

1077
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:45,100
There are many ingredients
in various pharmaceuticals.

1078
01:02:45,100 --> 01:02:48,400
We break down raw materials
into various components.

1079
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:51,000
Many of them extremely rare.
Is that so?

1080
01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:54,800
What do you do with all this
after you break it down?

1081
01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:57,100
It goes into
the Cotterell products.

1082
01:02:57,100 --> 01:02:59,900
But in the meantime, before
you ship it out, where is it?

1083
01:02:59,900 --> 01:03:02,500
I'm afraid that's a company secret,
Mr Stevenson.

1084
01:03:02,500 --> 01:03:05,000
But I suppose,
being Mr Cotterell's son-in-law...

1085
01:03:06,300 --> 01:03:09,100
Never do to leave it
lying around loose.

1086
01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:16,500
It's quite precious, you know?
You're the man in charge of it.

1087
01:03:16,500 --> 01:03:18,200
I suppose I am.

1088
01:03:20,700 --> 01:03:23,500
Doesn't it ever worry you?
Worry me, Mr Stevenson?

1089
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:26,100
Pardon me.

1090
01:03:29,100 --> 01:03:30,800
Thank you.

1091
01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:34,500
What I mean is, er...
being responsible for all this.

1092
01:03:34,500 --> 01:03:38,400
For instance, suppose you were ever
to make a mistake?

1093
01:03:38,200 --> 01:03:42,200
A mistake, Mr Stevenson?
I've been working here for 15 years,

1094
01:03:42,200 --> 01:03:44,600
I'm sure no-one has ever
had cause to complain.

1095
01:03:44,600 --> 01:03:48,800
Of course, of course,
I was just curious, that's all.

1096
01:03:48,800 --> 01:03:50,500
I quite understand.

1097
01:03:51,400 --> 01:03:52,500
Cigarette?

1098
01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:55,900
No, thank you. I don't smoke.

1099
01:03:57,000 --> 01:04:00,100
"That's how I first became
acquainted with your husband."

1100
01:04:00,100 --> 01:04:03,100
"About a month later
I was waiting for my bus, as usual."

1101
01:04:03,100 --> 01:04:04,600
Wally!

1102
01:04:04,600 --> 01:04:06,600
Good evening, Mr Stevenson.
Hop in.

1103
01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:08,700
You're sure it's not
too much trouble?

1104
01:04:08,700 --> 01:04:09,800
No trouble at all.

1105
01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:12,700
Thank you then.
This is certainly a treat.

1106
01:04:20,800 --> 01:04:23,400
Very beautiful car, Mr Stevenson.

1107
01:04:23,400 --> 01:04:24,600
It's my wife's.
Oh.

1108
01:04:24,600 --> 01:04:28,100
I've never owned a car,
they seem to mechanical for me.

1109
01:04:28,100 --> 01:04:31,400
I much prefer a brace of spanking
horses and a good carriage.

1110
01:04:31,400 --> 01:04:33,100
I was brought up around horses.

1111
01:04:33,100 --> 01:04:37,000
In Surrey, one never gets it
out of one's blood.

1112
01:04:37,100 --> 01:04:39,500
Do you care for horses,
Mr Stevenson?

1113
01:04:39,500 --> 01:04:42,100
No, not very much.
You're missing a great deal.

1114
01:04:42,100 --> 01:04:44,200
Such fine creatures, so powerful

1115
01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:47,400
and at the same time
so gentle and affectionate.

1116
01:04:47,400 --> 01:04:50,300
I have often wished
that I owned a small number of them.

1117
01:04:50,300 --> 01:04:53,300
(SNEEZES)
You don't say?

1118
01:04:53,300 --> 01:04:57,800
Only I'd never keep them
in a stable, that's far too cruel.

1119
01:04:57,800 --> 01:05:00,000
I'd let them be free
as nature intended.

1120
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:01,300
In a very large meadow.

1121
01:05:01,300 --> 01:05:03,400
Every day I'd go down there,

1122
01:05:03,400 --> 01:05:06,100
with bits of carrot and sugar
and stroke them.

1123
01:05:06,100 --> 01:05:09,400
As a matter of fact, I've already
picked out the perfect spot.

1124
01:05:09,400 --> 01:05:11,300
It's near Dorking in England.

1125
01:05:11,300 --> 01:05:15,200
Bit of land there,
all green grass and shade trees.

1126
01:05:15,200 --> 01:05:18,100
With a beautiful brook.
Horses do love a brook.

1127
01:05:18,100 --> 01:05:22,100
I price it every now and then,
just for my own amusement.

1128
01:05:22,100 --> 01:05:27,000
It always seems just a little,
how shall I say, beyond me.

1129
01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:30,100
Sounds nice.
Why is it always beyond you?

1130
01:05:30,100 --> 01:05:32,800
Haven't you saved enough
at that job of yours?

1131
01:05:32,800 --> 01:05:34,700
The high cost of living, you know?

1132
01:05:34,700 --> 01:05:38,100
To be frank, I've become
a bit over-anxious on occasion

1133
01:05:38,100 --> 01:05:41,600
for ready money and lost out
on foolish speculations.

1134
01:05:41,600 --> 01:05:43,900
I'm putting a little aside now
every month.

1135
01:05:43,900 --> 01:05:46,800
Some day, a very distant one,
I'm afraid,

1136
01:05:46,800 --> 01:05:49,800
when I retire from my job.
Why wait until you retire?

1137
01:05:49,800 --> 01:05:52,700
What good is a dream
when you're too old to enjoy it?

1138
01:05:52,700 --> 01:05:54,700
That's quite a truism, Mr Stevenson.

1139
01:05:54,700 --> 01:05:56,500
I suppose the zest
goes out of things

1140
01:05:56,500 --> 01:05:58,000
with the encroachments of old age.

1141
01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:00,800
You said it, Wally.
You can't live on dreams forever.

1142
01:06:00,800 --> 01:06:03,200
Waiting only weakens you
and your dream.

1143
01:06:03,200 --> 01:06:05,600
My motto is if you want something,
get it now.

1144
01:06:07,500 --> 01:06:11,200
It's the next turn on the right,
Mr Stevenson. Number 54.

1145
01:06:19,200 --> 01:06:22,400
Good night, Mr Stevenson
and thanks ever so much.

1146
01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:25,700
Wally, about that conversation
we had at the lab last month.

1147
01:06:25,700 --> 01:06:29,000
I've been thinking,
there might be a way out after all.

1148
01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:32,000
A way out?
Whatever do you mean, Mr Stevenson?

1149
01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:35,500
To have that meadow in England,
those horses. How so, Mr Stevenson?

1150
01:06:35,500 --> 01:06:38,200
By making a mistake
every once in a while.

1151
01:06:38,200 --> 01:06:40,000
A mistake?
Yes, nobody has to know.

1152
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:42,700
Please, Mr Stevenson, pardon me,
I'd better be going.

1153
01:06:45,400 --> 01:06:48,800
Wally, wait a minute.
Yes, Mr Stevenson?

1154
01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:51,500
I got it all figured out.

1155
01:06:51,500 --> 01:06:55,200
The differences need be so slight,
nobody ever has to know.

1156
01:06:55,200 --> 01:06:57,500
Chemists like you
are able to work miracles.

1157
01:06:57,500 --> 01:06:59,700
Miracles, Mr Stevenson?
Certainly.

1158
01:06:59,700 --> 01:07:01,800
Look what you've done
for the company.

1159
01:07:01,800 --> 01:07:03,700
What have you got? Nothing.

1160
01:07:03,700 --> 01:07:05,600
Nothing
but the dirty end of the stick.

1161
01:07:08,700 --> 01:07:09,800
Wally!

1162
01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:13,900
Don't be silly, I've already talked

1163
01:07:13,900 --> 01:07:16,000
the whole thing over
with somebody else.

1164
01:07:17,100 --> 01:07:20,600
You talked this over? With whom?

1165
01:07:20,600 --> 01:07:24,000
A man named Morano. He'll take
everything we can get and unload it.

1166
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:25,700
We'll split the money three ways.

1167
01:07:25,700 --> 01:07:28,200
You, a drug thief?
No, not necessarily.

1168
01:07:28,200 --> 01:07:30,700
Cotterell makes a lot of products
we can dispose of.

1169
01:07:30,700 --> 01:07:34,400
Mr Stevenson, how could you?
You, so young and fine.

1170
01:07:34,400 --> 01:07:37,000
I'm young, young enough
not to waste my life dreaming.

1171
01:07:37,100 --> 01:07:38,300
There are things I wanna do,

1172
01:07:38,300 --> 01:07:41,400
the only way to get them
is to be strong...

1173
01:07:41,400 --> 01:07:44,400
What's the use of talking.
Sorry I brought the whole thing up.

1174
01:07:44,400 --> 01:07:46,900
I trusted you, I thought
you were my kind of person.

1175
01:07:46,900 --> 01:07:48,200
I guess I was mistaken.

1176
01:07:48,200 --> 01:07:51,000
But Mr Stevenson,
what if we were caught?

1177
01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:53,700
Why should we be caught?
Morano has it all figured out.

1178
01:07:53,700 --> 01:07:57,100
For once there's an advantage
being Cotterell's son-in-law.

1179
01:07:57,100 --> 01:07:59,000
It's just that I...

1180
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:01,800
I wouldn't want to see you
take a chance like that alone.

1181
01:08:03,600 --> 01:08:04,700
May I come in?

1182
01:08:10,200 --> 01:08:12,700
"And we weren't caught,
for nearly seven months."

1183
01:08:12,700 --> 01:08:16,300
"From March 9th to September 14th,
we weren't caught."

1184
01:08:16,300 --> 01:08:20,600
"I never saw Mr Morano, I merely
carried out our mutual plan."

1185
01:08:20,600 --> 01:08:24,800
"And every Friday afternoon,
Mr Stevenson handed me the money."

1186
01:08:24,800 --> 01:08:32,600
"By September 14th of last year,
I had saved the sum of $7,555.49."

1187
01:08:33,100 --> 01:08:36,000
"But it was in the early afternoon
of that day that -"

1188
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:37,100
When did you get it?

1189
01:08:37,100 --> 01:08:39,800
It came this morning,
in the inter-office mail.

1190
01:08:39,800 --> 01:08:42,700
I don't understand it,
I never said a word.

1191
01:08:42,700 --> 01:08:44,400
That's why I'm sure they suspect.

1192
01:08:44,400 --> 01:08:48,300
If they suspected anything they'd
fire you outright. Or called police.

1193
01:08:48,300 --> 01:08:51,800
I'm sorry, I can't help feeling this
transfer to New Jersey is a sign,

1194
01:08:51,800 --> 01:08:54,800
a warning, I'm sure of it.

1195
01:08:54,800 --> 01:08:57,400
A sign of what?
To stop this.

1196
01:08:57,400 --> 01:08:59,500
Mr Stevenson,
I can't go on any longer.

1197
01:08:59,500 --> 01:09:00,500
Shut up!

1198
01:09:05,200 --> 01:09:08,000
What do you mean
by this kind of drivel?

1199
01:09:08,000 --> 01:09:10,700
Money doesn't seem that important.
Maybe not to you.

1200
01:09:10,700 --> 01:09:13,700
You stupid fool, We've been
a bunch of stooges up to now,

1201
01:09:13,700 --> 01:09:16,700
Morano's kicked us around.
We have a chance to get rid of him.

1202
01:09:16,700 --> 01:09:19,300
That transfer
is just what I was looking for.

1203
01:09:19,300 --> 01:09:21,600
We're much better off
operating from Bayonne.

1204
01:09:21,600 --> 01:09:23,300
You'll be your own boss, a partner.

1205
01:09:23,400 --> 01:09:26,400
I'll tell Morano you've been
laid off. This set-up's over.

1206
01:09:26,400 --> 01:09:29,000
Then you and I'll establish
headquarters back East.

1207
01:09:29,000 --> 01:09:31,200
We'll operate our own
and split his share.

1208
01:09:31,200 --> 01:09:33,500
Don't you think that's dangerous?

1209
01:09:33,500 --> 01:09:36,900
I'm just a chemist, I don't know
anything about that aspect.

1210
01:09:36,900 --> 01:09:40,100
I do, I've been doing little
research and I'll teach you plenty.

1211
01:09:40,100 --> 01:09:41,500
I'll give you an idea.

1212
01:09:41,500 --> 01:09:46,700
This is the Cotterell plant
at Bayonne. New York. Staten Island.

1213
01:09:46,700 --> 01:09:48,500
"One and a half months later,

1214
01:09:48,500 --> 01:09:52,400
"we began operations
on Staten Island, New York."

1215
01:09:52,400 --> 01:09:56,100
"Our headquarters were an abandoned
house at 20 Dunstan Terrace,

1216
01:09:56,100 --> 01:09:58,400
"which I purchased
for Mr Stevenson."

1217
01:09:58,400 --> 01:10:00,100
"Here, twice a week after work,

1218
01:10:00,100 --> 01:10:04,100
"I would come from your father's
Bayonne plant."

1219
01:10:04,100 --> 01:10:07,100
"And here Mr Stevenson
would mail me or telephone

1220
01:10:07,100 --> 01:10:09,000
"his instructions from Cicero."

1221
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:12,500
"The character of our work
now became more complex."

1222
01:10:12,500 --> 01:10:17,000
"I was selling the products as well
as removing them from the plant."

1223
01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:18,600
"A little over three months ago,

1224
01:10:18,600 --> 01:10:22,600
"Mr Stephenson arrived in New York
himself to supervise the work."

1225
01:10:22,600 --> 01:10:24,700
"Unfortunately it was at that time

1226
01:10:24,700 --> 01:10:28,500
"that the final chapter of
our enterprise was being written."

1227
01:10:28,500 --> 01:10:30,300
(WHISTLE)

1228
01:10:30,300 --> 01:10:31,100
Pardon me?

1229
01:10:40,900 --> 01:10:43,400
Come right in. Good evening.

1230
01:10:43,400 --> 01:10:46,400
This is the professor.
Wally, this is Morano.

1231
01:10:46,400 --> 01:10:50,900
Morano?
Yes, you didn't expect me, did you?

1232
01:10:50,900 --> 01:10:53,200
With the kind assistance
of Mr Evans,

1233
01:10:53,200 --> 01:10:54,900
that is the name, isn't it?
Yes, Sir.

1234
01:10:54,900 --> 01:10:58,100
With the assistance of Mr Evans,
we'll proceed with business.

1235
01:10:58,100 --> 01:10:59,100
As I was saying,

1236
01:10:59,100 --> 01:11:02,500
According to our information
and we have pretty accurate sources.

1237
01:11:02,500 --> 01:11:05,100
Since you decided
to disassociate yourself from us

1238
01:11:05,100 --> 01:11:07,400
you have accumulated quite a stock.

1239
01:11:07,400 --> 01:11:10,100
Of which you have been able
to dispose of only one third.

1240
01:11:10,100 --> 01:11:14,500
That leaves quite an amount
hanging around loose, doesn't it?

1241
01:11:14,500 --> 01:11:15,900
Where is it?

1242
01:11:17,100 --> 01:11:19,100
I don't know anything about it.

1243
01:11:19,100 --> 01:11:20,200
You don't, huh?

1244
01:11:21,200 --> 01:11:22,900
How about you, professor?

1245
01:11:22,900 --> 01:11:26,100
As Mr Stevenson said,
we don't know, I'm sorry to say.

1246
01:11:26,100 --> 01:11:29,200
Well, so am I. Alright, boys.

1247
01:11:29,200 --> 01:11:31,300
Leave him alone.
Leave him alone or I'll -

1248
01:11:31,300 --> 01:11:32,700
Hold it, fellas.

1249
01:11:33,600 --> 01:11:36,000
Or you'll what, Stevenson?

1250
01:11:46,300 --> 01:11:49,200
Stevenson, size doesn't count
in our business.

1251
01:11:49,200 --> 01:11:52,100
We know you're a big, strong guy,
we all know you can fight.

1252
01:11:52,100 --> 01:11:54,800
This isn't the way
to settle the difference

1253
01:11:54,800 --> 01:11:57,700
our organisation has with you.

1254
01:11:59,300 --> 01:12:02,900
Now, there's one thing
I haven't told you. Yet.

1255
01:12:03,900 --> 01:12:08,900
We had a, what will I call it,
a board meeting last Thursday.

1256
01:12:08,900 --> 01:12:12,100
The vote was 7-1 against you,
that's pretty bad.

1257
01:12:12,100 --> 01:12:14,800
I'm not saying I didn't argue
the point, of course,

1258
01:12:14,800 --> 01:12:18,100
but if you insist on being stubborn,
there's nothing I can do.

1259
01:12:18,100 --> 01:12:21,200
Stop beating about the bush.
What do you want?

1260
01:12:21,200 --> 01:12:23,600
Now you're talking.

1261
01:12:23,600 --> 01:12:25,200
Let's relax for a second,

1262
01:12:25,200 --> 01:12:28,400
I'm sure the professor would like
to get a load off his feet.

1263
01:12:28,400 --> 01:12:31,700
Long way from here to Bayonne.
No thanks. It's quite alright.

1264
01:12:31,700 --> 01:12:34,600
I beg you, give them what they
want, you can take everything I -

1265
01:12:34,600 --> 01:12:35,900
Shut up!

1266
01:12:35,900 --> 01:12:38,900
Stevenson, since you went
into business for yourself,

1267
01:12:38,900 --> 01:12:41,300
we've suffered quite a loss.

1268
01:12:41,200 --> 01:12:44,900
If you were to turn back what you
accumulated and pay us say...

1269
01:12:44,900 --> 01:12:47,000
$200,000, for our injured feelings,

1270
01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:49,700
I might get the board
to reconsider their decision.

1271
01:12:49,700 --> 01:12:52,900
Provided the both of you continue
working under our supervision.

1272
01:12:52,900 --> 01:12:55,500
You know as well as I do,
I don't have that kind of money.

1273
01:12:55,500 --> 01:12:59,600
No, but you've got good connections,
a rich father-in-law, a rich wife.

1274
01:12:59,600 --> 01:13:02,600
A lot of good that does. Why do
you think I'm in this business?

1275
01:13:02,600 --> 01:13:06,500
I thought I read somewhere about
your wife being sick. Even dying.

1276
01:13:10,100 --> 01:13:11,800
So what about it?

1277
01:13:11,800 --> 01:13:14,800
She's got insurance, hasn't she?
Made out in your name?

1278
01:13:14,800 --> 01:13:16,500
I'm sure the board would give you

1279
01:13:16,500 --> 01:13:20,400
90 days to raise the money
on something like that.

1280
01:13:20,400 --> 01:13:21,400
Why 90 days?

1281
01:13:21,400 --> 01:13:24,300
Isn't that what the doctor said?

1282
01:13:28,500 --> 01:13:30,700
Yes. That's what he said but...

1283
01:13:32,600 --> 01:13:34,000
What's that?

1284
01:13:34,000 --> 01:13:36,000
Just a little I-O-U
to make it legal.

1285
01:13:36,900 --> 01:13:40,000
Everything can be straightened out
without any trouble.

1286
01:13:42,400 --> 01:13:45,400
Suppose something happened
and she didn't -

1287
01:13:45,400 --> 01:13:48,900
I wouldn't worry about it,
you've got a doctor's word for it.

1288
01:13:48,900 --> 01:13:50,200
They know their business.

1289
01:13:54,500 --> 01:13:57,200
I wouldn't say you had
much of a choice anyhow.

1290
01:14:08,800 --> 01:14:11,900
"That happened on the evening
of the 23rd of this past April."

1291
01:14:11,900 --> 01:14:16,900
"I need not describe
Mr Stevenson's distress when,"

1292
01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:20,400
four days ago the I-O-U came due.

1293
01:14:20,400 --> 01:14:23,100
As I understand it,
Mr Stevenson saw Mr Morano,

1294
01:14:23,100 --> 01:14:27,600
but his request for a extension
was most heartlessly refused.

1295
01:14:27,600 --> 01:14:31,700
I have not seen either
Mr Stevenson or Mr Morano since.

1296
01:14:31,700 --> 01:14:35,100
Now, in as much as I've already
given you the final message,

1297
01:14:35,100 --> 01:14:37,800
I believe the rest explains itself
quite simply.

1298
01:14:37,800 --> 01:14:41,000
"Mr Evans, where is my husband now?"

1299
01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:42,900
I wish I knew, Mrs Stevenson.

1300
01:14:42,900 --> 01:14:45,100
Perhaps if you tried
the Bowery number.

1301
01:14:45,100 --> 01:14:49,900
"The Bowery number?"
That I gave you in the message.

1302
01:14:49,900 --> 01:14:51,600
Now, if you'll
check it over with me.

1303
01:14:51,600 --> 01:14:53,300
"I can't, I can't!"

1304
01:14:53,300 --> 01:14:56,800
I'll repeat it for you, once more.

1305
01:14:56,800 --> 01:15:02,800
Point 1 - The house at 20 Dunstan
Terrace was burned down by Mr Evans.

1306
01:15:02,800 --> 01:15:05,300
Point 2 - Mr Evans escaped.

1307
01:15:05,300 --> 01:15:08,200
Point 3 -
Mr Morano has been arrested,

1308
01:15:08,200 --> 01:15:11,600
so it will not be necessary
to raise the money.

who tipped off the police.

"It doesn't matter,
just give me the Bowery number."

Point 5 - Mr Evans is at
the Manhattan address,

1313
01:15:24,400 --> 01:15:30,500
but he is leaving now
and may be found at Bowery 2-1000.

Yes. After midnight, goodnight.
Thank you very much.

Bowery 2-1000. Is Mr Stevenson there?
"Mr who?"

1319
01:16:14,500 --> 01:16:19,000
Mr Henry Stevenson.
I was told to call by a Mr Evans.

1320

"Just a minute, I'll see."

Yes, that's right.

Mr Evans said he might be expected.
Could I leave a message?

"A message, ma'am? We don't
take no messages here, ma'am."

"They wouldn't do no good."

1327
01:16:40,900 --> 01:16:46,600
No? What number is this?
What am I calling?

1328
01:16:46,600 --> 01:16:49,900
"Bowery 2-1000, ma'am.

01:18:02,700 --> 01:18:05,300
Is this a hospital?
"Yes."

1339
01:18:05,300 --> 01:18:08,300
I want the Nurse's Registry.
"Whom do you wish to speak to?"

1343
01:18:23,300 --> 01:18:25,900
I said I want to hire
a trained nurse immediately!

but this is a city hospital."

in this horrible empty house!

1347
01:18:35,400 --> 01:18:37,400
I overheard a conversation,

1348
01:18:37,400 --> 01:18:41,400
a telephone conversation a while ago
about... About a murder.

1349
01:18:41,400 --> 01:18:45,100
A murder to be committed at 11:15.

1350
01:18:45,100 --> 01:18:48,600
I... I don't know
what's happened to my husband.

1351
