168
00:13:29,851 --> 00:13:34,439
Nick, pick up these pajamas on your way out.
I want them checked right down the line.
169
00:13:36,274 --> 00:13:38,609
What time does the elevator boy
come on in the morning?
170
00:13:38,693 --> 00:13:41,863
- 7:00.
- Martha, who belongs to these?
171
00:13:41,946 --> 00:13:45,074
Oh, I don't know, sir. I'm so unstrung.
172
00:13:45,158 --> 00:13:47,744
I know you are,
but I think you'd like to help us.
173
00:13:47,827 --> 00:13:49,787
Oh, I would. I would.
174
00:13:49,871 --> 00:13:55,793
She was such a sweet girl. A little wild
by my standards maybe, but live and let live, I say.
175
00:13:55,877 --> 00:13:58,755
- She always treated me fine.
- The pajamas, Martha.
176
00:13:58,838 --> 00:14:02,425
- Oh, I'm all in pieces.
- Martha.
177
00:14:03,551 --> 00:14:07,388
Well, they could belong
to Mr. Henderson.
178
00:14:08,389 --> 00:14:10,600
What's Mr. Henderson's first name?
179
00:14:10,683 --> 00:14:13,811
Uh, Philip, I think.
He lives in Baltimore.
180
00:14:13,895 --> 00:14:17,023
At least that's what she told me.
I only saw him once.
181
00:14:17,106 --> 00:14:20,401
All I know is he was
an admirer of Miss Dexter's.
182
00:14:20,485 --> 00:14:24,322
- Seems likely.
- Oh, I'm all in little pieces. What a nightmare.
183
00:14:24,405 --> 00:14:27,158
You're being a great help to us, Martha.
184
00:14:27,241 --> 00:14:29,160
How old would you say Mr. Henderson is?
185
00:14:29,243 --> 00:14:31,329
Oh, 50 about.
186
00:14:31,412 --> 00:14:35,249
- What does he look like?
- Well, like I say, I only saw him once.
187
00:14:35,333 --> 00:14:38,169
He was coming in just as I was going home.
188
00:14:38,252 --> 00:14:42,090
He's quite tall. On the thin side.
189
00:14:42,173 --> 00:14:44,467
Anything else?
Uh, does he wear glasses? Does he -
190
00:14:44,550 --> 00:14:47,595
- Oh, no, no. That's all I can remember.
- Mm-hmm.
191
00:14:48,638 --> 00:14:51,474
- Do you know Henderson?
- Never saw him.
192
00:14:51,557 --> 00:14:54,268
- Shoot a wire on this to Baltimore.
- [ Doctor ] Lieutenant.
193
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:59,065
Here's the ring she was wearing.
I'll phone you after the autopsy.
194
00:14:59,148 --> 00:15:01,442
- Have fun.
- Always do.
195
00:15:05,571 --> 00:15:10,451
Sir, that ring -
it's a black star sapphire. Very rare.
196
00:15:10,535 --> 00:15:12,995
She said her brother
sent it to her from India.
197
00:15:13,079 --> 00:15:16,040
- Did she have any other jewelry?
- Oh, a lot.
198
00:15:16,124 --> 00:15:18,918
Valuable.
She kept it in a jewel box - locked.
199
00:15:19,001 --> 00:15:21,462
- Let's go get it.
- No.
200
00:15:21,546 --> 00:15:23,548
Please.
201
00:15:26,217 --> 00:15:28,594
Okay. You can pick up
that bottle under the bed now.
202
00:15:28,678 --> 00:15:31,180
- Check.
- That one there.
203
00:15:31,264 --> 00:15:34,475
- Nick, can we open a drawer on this table?
- Yeah, I've gone over it.
204
00:15:34,559 --> 00:15:37,687
- What are you doing to the furniture?
- Investigating it.
205
00:15:39,730 --> 00:15:43,401
[ Swenson ] Oh, she had chamois bags
full of bracelets and rings - diamond rings!
206
00:15:43,484 --> 00:15:45,987
- They're gone.
- Can you describe the jewelry?
207
00:15:46,070 --> 00:15:49,365
- Well, most of it, I think.
- Fine. Shaeffer, will you -
208
00:15:49,449 --> 00:15:51,576
Yes, sir.
209
00:15:51,659 --> 00:15:53,911
Pretty little slumber pellets.
210
00:15:53,995 --> 00:15:57,540
Jimmy, I want to go on questioning
those two in there. You start your legwork.
211
00:15:57,623 --> 00:16:00,042
Take the number of that prescription,
see the druggist.
212
00:16:00,126 --> 00:16:04,505
From him, go to the doctor.
Then go to the dress shop she worked at.
213
00:16:04,589 --> 00:16:06,591
Right.
214
00:16:08,176 --> 00:16:12,597
- Lieutenant, the newspapermen are here.
- Okay. I'm comin'.
215
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,766
- Getting any fingerprints, Nick?
- Nothing good so far.
216
00:16:15,850 --> 00:16:18,186
Fragmentary print smudges. That's all.
217
00:16:18,269 --> 00:16:22,023
Looks to me like a heavy case.
A heavy case.
218
00:16:25,193 --> 00:16:28,362
[ Narrator ]
An investigation for murder is now under way,
219
00:16:28,446 --> 00:16:31,199
It will advance methodically
by trial and error...
220
00:16:31,282 --> 00:16:34,160
by asking a thousand questions
to get one answer...
221
00:16:34,243 --> 00:16:36,370
by brain work and legwork.
222
00:16:36,454 --> 00:16:40,374
When it comes to legwork,
Detective Jimmy Halloran is an expert.
223
00:16:40,458 --> 00:16:44,795
In the war, he walked
halfway across Europe with a rifle in his hand
224
00:16:44,879 --> 00:16:48,758
Up until three months ago,
he was pounding a beat in the Bronx.
225
00:16:48,841 --> 00:16:52,553
And now he's playing button, button
in a city of eight million people.
226
00:16:53,554 --> 00:16:56,307
No, the druggist can't remember
Miss Dexter personally
227
00:16:56,390 --> 00:16:58,476
He'll have to look up the prescription.

00:17:04,148 --> 00:17:06,067
[ Narrator ] Oh, yes. Here it is.

The doctor's name was Lawrence Stoneman,
office in the Chaffee Building.
231

The Chaffee Building, Halloran.
Eighteen blocks south, four blocks west.

- [ Whirring Stops ]
- How you doin'?
234
00:17:21,249 --> 00:17:24,126
Not too bad.
Found these two hairs in the rug.
235
00:17:24,210 --> 00:17:26,879
Mm-hmm. Getting any fingerprints?
236
00:17:26,963 --> 00:17:29,257
- Nothing good yet.
- Thanks.
237
00:17:30,258 --> 00:17:35,930
Martha, aside from Mr. Henderson,
did Miss Dexter have any other men friends?
238
00:17:36,013 --> 00:17:40,518
None that I know of, sir.
Just this Niles man. Frank Niles.
239
00:17:40,601 --> 00:17:42,603
Oh, lovely man.

- What are you doing?
- Don't mind me.

Is Dr. Stoneman in?

00:18:11,924 --> 00:18:15,052
- Do you have an appointment?
- I'm from the police department.

- It's quite important.
- Follow me, please.

[ Narrator ]
There's your city, Halloran. Take a good look.
247
00:18:34,822 --> 00:18:38,701
Jean Dexter is dead, and the answer
must be somewhere down there.
248
00:18:38,784 --> 00:18:42,079
Yes, sir. What can I do for you?
Have a seat.
249
00:18:42,163 --> 00:18:45,750
Thank you. I want to ask you
about a patient of yours.
250

- Jean Dexter.
- Dexter?
251
00:18:48,044 --> 00:18:51,505
You wrote a prescription for her
about two weeks ago - sleeping pills.
252
00:18:51,589 --> 00:18:56,135
Yes. A blonde girl.
Very handsome. I remember now.
253
00:18:56,218 --> 00:18:58,512
Dexter.
You from the local precinct, Officer?
254
00:18:58,596 --> 00:19:01,932
- Homicide.
- Oh, don't tell me that girl murdered someone.
255

- Someone murdered her.
- What?
256
00:19:04,935 --> 00:19:07,021
- When?
- Last night sometime.
257
00:19:07,104 --> 00:19:09,023
What do you want to know?
258
00:19:09,106 --> 00:19:11,776
Well, whatever you can tell me about her.
259
00:19:11,859 --> 00:19:13,944
She needed a good spanking.
260
00:19:14,028 --> 00:19:16,781
Took stimulants by day
and needed sleeping pills at night.
261
00:19:16,864 --> 00:19:20,368
I told her to go slow,
but, no, life was too short for her.
262
00:19:21,369 --> 00:19:24,705
Can you tell me anything
about the way she lived, her friends?
263
00:19:24,789 --> 00:19:28,376
No. Nothing.
I saw her only that one visit.
264
00:19:29,794 --> 00:19:31,962
Well, I guess that's all, Doc.

Oh, you! You're so uncooperative

Somewhere in the back
of her pretty head...
273
00:19:59,073 --> 00:20:02,576
was the fixed notion that
she couldn't be happy without being rich.
274
00:20:02,660 --> 00:20:06,997
I don't think Jean ever would have married
unless the man had money - real money.

Why did you fire her?
276

Gentlemen sometimes
come here with their wives.

When Jean Dexter modeled, many of them
left my shop a little too interested in her.
