0:01:57 > 0:02:00DOCTOR: I pronounce this man dead.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Score another one for Thompson.
0:02:06 > 0:02:14- Austin, you don't think much of the District Attorney, do you? - On the contrary. He's very able.
0:02:14 > 0:02:22- Then why attack him in editorials? - Because he's aiming for Governor over the bodies of executed men.
0:02:22 > 0:02:28I'm against capital punishment. That's why I wanted you to witness that execution.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31After you've seen one, you've...
0:02:34 > 0:02:38- Did you ever meet Thompson?- No. - He just came in.
0:02:42 > 0:02:49- Guess I'd better talk to Spencer. - You looking for trouble?- Why wait? I might as well hear it now.
0:02:49 > 0:02:54- Join me?- No, thanks. I'll read it in tomorrow's paper.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Roy!
0:02:59 > 0:03:05- Austin! - I'd like you to meet Tom Garrett. Our District Attorney, Roy Thompson.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08- Join us?- Thanks.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10- Care for a drink?- No, not now.
0:03:10 > 0:03:15- I enjoyed your novel, Mr Garrett. - Thank you.
0:03:15 > 0:03:20- So, are you pleased with yourself? - Not particularly. Why should I be?
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Oh...
0:03:25 > 0:03:32- Peters committed a murder. - It doesn't bother you to send him to the electric chair?
0:03:32 > 0:03:40I presented the facts to a jury. They decided, beyond a reasonable doubt, that Peters was guilty.
0:03:40 > 0:03:48There were no eye witnesses... only circumstantial evidence which you handled masterfully.
0:03:48 > 0:03:53- You think he was innocent?- Could be. - The jury didn't think so.
0:03:53 > 0:03:58I've sat in enough courtrooms to know that an able prosecutor
0:03:58 > 0:04:05can make a jury believe a thing is fact when it isn't, especially without a good defence.
0:04:05 > 0:04:13- Would you have circumstantial evidence ignored?- No, I just don't think his life should be taken.
0:04:13 > 0:04:19There are 6 states in this country that don't have capital punishment.
0:04:19 > 0:04:24But THIS state does. I'm sworn to uphold the laws of THIS state.
0:04:24 > 0:04:30- It's good to see you, Austin. I'm happy to have met you, Mr Garrett.- My pleasure, sir.
0:04:32 > 0:04:39- He seems friendly enough.- Why not? I'm always fair to him. We just don't agree on capital punishment.
0:04:39 > 0:04:46That's an argument that's been going on for centuries. Don't think you two will settle it.
0:04:46 > 0:04:51I think I can. But not by talking about it. I must get back. Joe!
0:04:53 > 0:04:58- Can I drop you anywhere?- Susan's meeting me here.- Getting serious?!
0:04:58 > 0:05:04- Any objections?- No, or I wouldn't have let you leave the paper when you wrote that novel.
0:05:04 > 0:05:09- What's that got to do with it? - My daughter has expensive tastes.
0:05:09 > 0:05:14I don't think you'd have made progress on the salary I paid you.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Hello!
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Hi!
0:05:22 > 0:05:29- I couldn't reach the top of HIS head.- You didn't try hard! If you can spare me...- We'll manage.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32See you later.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Sit down.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Thank you.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44- Would you like a drink?- No, thanks.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Thanks.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Well, what would you like to do?
0:06:01 > 0:06:08- I feel like dancing. - At 5 o'clock in the afternoon?! I'll take you dancing tonight.
0:06:08 > 0:06:14- I feel like dancing NOW. - All right. Where? - I've never seen your apartment.
0:06:14 > 0:06:20- Aren't we mixed up? That's supposed to me MY line. - But you've never used it!
0:06:20 > 0:06:25# It all began the day I looked at you,
0:06:25 > 0:06:28# You were just like the girl... #
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Next month makes you a June bride.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34PHONE RINGS
0:06:34 > 0:06:40- Let it ring.- No, answer it. I have to go home.- I'll drive you. - PHONE RINGS
0:06:40 > 0:06:47- Never mind. I'll take a cab. - Hold on, will you?... What time shall I pick you up?- About eight.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52And tell her you're spoken for.
0:06:58 > 0:07:04Hello?... Yes...
0:07:09 > 0:07:11It works, too!
0:07:11 > 0:07:16- Thanks.- I couldn't go through life watching you search for matches.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19It's beautiful...and so are you!
0:07:20 > 0:07:23I'm glad you two finally set a date.
0:07:24 > 0:07:30- Er...I'm afraid we might have to postpone it for a while.- Oh?
0:07:30 > 0:07:38The telephone call was my publisher. He hit the roof when he found out how much progress I HAVEN'T made!
0:07:38 > 0:07:45- What's that got to do with being married?- Well, I'll have to buckle down and write it.
0:07:45 > 0:07:51- There ARE successful writers who are married! - But I'm not successful yet, Susan.
0:07:51 > 0:07:57One book proves nothing. The second is very important. I have to concentrate on it.
0:07:57 > 0:08:02- You understand, Austin? - You can't afford a let-down now.
0:08:02 > 0:08:10- I hope you understand?- Of course. I wouldn't DREAM of forcing you to do anything you don't want.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15- Susan!- Yes?
0:08:15 > 0:08:20Darling, I love you very much. I want our marriage to start right.
0:08:20 > 0:08:25I'll have to finish the book first. I can't write if I'm distracted.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29Being married to you WILL be distracting.
0:08:29 > 0:08:37- Are you saying, if we were married you'd be too distracted to write? - Hope so! I'll try to get used to it.
0:08:37 > 0:08:46All I'm asking is that we postpone it for a while. Then we can start with nothing on our minds but us.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Write fast, will you?
0:08:51 > 0:08:56I've been thinking about what you said today about capital punishment.
0:08:56 > 0:09:01- You get engaged and think about capital punishment?!- I'm serious.
0:09:01 > 0:09:07- I haven't been able to get it out of my mind.- So you agree with me?
0:09:07 > 0:09:14I'm not sure... But the idea that an innocent man could be executed, kind of bothers me.
0:09:14 > 0:09:19- It might be a subject for a book. - A book wouldn't prove anything.
0:09:19 > 0:09:24- It can only be proven by a fact that no-one can deny.- How?
0:09:25 > 0:09:33By having someone whose innocence I could prove, arrested and tried for a murder he didn't commit.
0:09:33 > 0:09:41- It wouldn't work if the police had any suspects.- In a city like this, homicides occur quite frequently.
0:09:41 > 0:09:46Sometimes the police are completely baffled.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50They have no clues, nothing to go on.
0:09:50 > 0:09:55I believe, in such a case, it would be possible for an innocent man
0:09:55 > 0:10:02- to plant evidence that would lead to his conviction. - A case like that NEVER comes up!
0:10:02 > 0:10:08You said a case like this never comes up!
0:10:08 > 0:10:16Here it is. A burlesque dancer found strangled with a stocking in a ravine just outside town.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Now, the police have no clues...
0:10:19 > 0:10:25You think we could have someone who is innocent convicted and sentenced for this?
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Don't you?
0:10:28 > 0:10:30I don't know.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34But I admit that it would make a great story.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Who could we get as guinea pig?
0:10:37 > 0:10:39You.
0:10:39 > 0:10:40Me?!
0:10:40 > 0:10:48Well, why not? It requires someone with imagination, ingenuity... someone who would be believable.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52A victim of circumstances. You could do it.
0:10:52 > 0:10:57It's a weird, crazy idea. Maybe that's why it intrigues me.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59What about the risks?
0:10:59 > 0:11:06You might be acquitted, but, if we're lucky, you'll get the chair.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08That's the part that bothers me!
0:11:08 > 0:11:15That's where I'd come in. After you were sentenced, I'd reveal the details of our plan.
0:11:15 > 0:11:20I have standing in this community. You'd be pardoned automatically.
0:11:20 > 0:11:25- You make it sound VERY simple. - It would be!
0:11:25 > 0:11:29I've being trying for years to have this law changed.
0:11:29 > 0:11:34We'd be criticised for our methods, but if we accomplished something...
0:11:34 > 0:11:39- How can you be sure the police have no suspects?- That's easy.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46PHONE RINGS
0:11:47 > 0:11:52Charlie Miller... Yes, sir... Just a moment...
0:11:56 > 0:12:01..Yes... The Patty Gray case? Lieutenant Kennedy's handling it.
0:12:01 > 0:12:08It looks like a good story. Do you think you can find out what they REALLY have on it?
0:12:08 > 0:12:15- 'I think so, but Kennedy may want it off the record for the time being.' - We'll cooperate.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19- But I want to know everything. - 'Yes, sir.'
0:12:19 > 0:12:23If they haven't got a suspect, we'll give them one.
0:12:23 > 0:12:30We've got 50 suspects! Guy at the stage door couldn't keep track!
0:12:30 > 0:12:34Any prospects? Doesn't look good.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38We've got a few descriptions we're checking out now.
0:12:38 > 0:12:43The only thing we know is that she lived alone at a rooming house.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Strange... Why?
0:12:46 > 0:12:53After her body was found, we went over her room. It had been ransacked. We couldn't find a thing!
0:12:53 > 0:12:57No address book, no fingerprints...
0:12:57 > 0:13:02Those club girls are here. Send in Joan Williams first.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Miss Williams?
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Sit down, Miss Williams.
0:13:15 > 0:13:20You once lived with Patty Gray. Is that correct?
0:13:20 > 0:13:22For a little while.
0:13:22 > 0:13:29You were good friends? I hardly knew her. But you lived with her?
0:13:29 > 0:13:35I came to work at the club a few weeks ago... I didn't have any place to stay.
0:13:35 > 0:13:40Patty offered to let me stay if I paid her 15 a week.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43(I think she needed the money.)
0:13:43 > 0:13:46You moved out just before the murder.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50Why? Did you have a fight? No!
0:13:50 > 0:13:55She told me to get out! Just like that...for no reason.
0:13:55 > 0:14:00I thought she needed money. I did, too!
0:14:00 > 0:14:07I asked her about it. She just laughed and said she didn't need my lousy 15!
0:14:07 > 0:14:11She had an awful lot of money with her that night.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16Did she say where she got it? No, she just said to get out.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20Can you tell us anything to help us find her murderer?
0:14:20 > 0:14:28I wish I could, but I can't help. I've only been here 2 weeks. This is my first job.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Thank you for coming in, Miss Williams.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Send in the other two.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45What do you want with us?
0:14:45 > 0:14:51I want to ask you... During the night?! It's 2.45!
0:14:51 > 0:14:57We artists need our sleep. Gotta keep in shape. Doing a good job!
0:14:57 > 0:15:00How about breakfast? Coffee?
0:15:00 > 0:15:07What, no doughnuts? No doughnuts. Hmph!
0:15:08 > 0:15:11Yuck! You need a knife and fork!
0:15:11 > 0:15:16You shared Patty's dressing room. What was she like?
0:15:16 > 0:15:19OK. OK?! A creep!
0:15:19 > 0:15:23What? A tramp! And her private life?
0:15:23 > 0:15:29Nobody knew much about that. She wouldn't have won popularity contests.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33If nobody knew much about her, why was she so unpopular?
0:15:33 > 0:15:40Knew her a little - you didn't like her. Knew her good - you despised her.
0:15:40 > 0:15:47We're trying to find her killer. If there's any co-operation you can give us...
0:15:47 > 0:15:51Oh, tell him! I can't drink more coffee.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54I never got a good look at him! Who?
0:15:54 > 0:15:59The guy who picked her up. That night?
0:15:59 > 0:16:06We left the club together. There was a fella waiting for her. They drove off.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09What did he look like?
0:16:09 > 0:16:14Well...he was sort of average build.
0:16:14 > 0:16:19He had a grey topcoat, a brown hat and smoked a pipe.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23See his face? They drove off too quick.
0:16:23 > 0:16:30What kind of car? A dark, new sedan. I don't know what kind.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34Get the licence number? What for?!
0:16:34 > 0:16:42- It's 6 days and the Police don't have much.- Only a vague description of the man who picked her up.
0:16:42 > 0:16:48- Think they'll develop anything from that?- I doubt it. It's not much of a lead.
0:16:50 > 0:16:55Well, I think I'm ready to risk it now. What about you?
0:16:55 > 0:17:03I can easily make myself the man in the grey coat and brown hat. I even drive a dark car.
0:17:03 > 0:17:10We must remember that any evidence we plant MUST be things that COULD happen to any innocent suspect.
0:17:10 > 0:17:15- What about Susan? Do we let her in? - I'd rather not.
0:17:15 > 0:17:21The police are certain to question her. Under pressure, she might let something slip.
0:17:21 > 0:17:28- Seems like an awful thing to do! - She loves you. She'd NEVER believe you did it.- Hope you're right.
0:17:28 > 0:17:36- She'd try to help.- Just you see she doesn't try hard or we might have trouble getting me convicted!
0:17:36 > 0:17:42- What's the next move? - What about an evening of cultural entertainment?
0:17:47 > 0:17:53Didn't some of these girls share a dressing room with Patty Gray?
0:17:53 > 0:17:59- Yes...Terry Larue and this blonde, Dolly Moore. - How do you know?
0:17:59 > 0:18:02- Charlie Miller said so.- Oh.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08- May I take your things? - Any time!
0:18:08 > 0:18:11- The HAT.- Oh(!)
0:18:11 > 0:18:17SMOOCHY MUSIC PLAYED ON CLARINET
0:18:17 > 0:18:24APPRECIATIVE MALE LAUGHTER
0:18:24 > 0:18:31- What impression did you get about her from Charlie? - No genius, but not stupid, either.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36WOLF WHISTLES
0:18:55 > 0:18:59LOUD APPLAUSE AND WOLF WHISTLES
0:18:59 > 0:19:01What'll you have?
0:19:01 > 0:19:09- Do you have any suggestions as to how I might meet Miss Moore? - The artists don't date customers.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16The artists eat across the road.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30Scotch and soda, please.
0:20:11 > 0:20:16JAZZ MUSIC PLAYS
0:20:17 > 0:20:21- Oh...- You drunken crumb! - I'm terribly sorry!
0:20:21 > 0:20:28- Having a good time? - I was only trying to help... - Who? You or me?
0:20:31 > 0:20:38- Well, could I pay for the damage I've done? - That's the least you can do.
0:20:40 > 0:20:45- I don't seem to have much... - Wouldn't you know!
0:20:45 > 0:20:49Atchoo!... I'm sorry!
0:20:49 > 0:20:54- Well, could I get in touch? - You've touched enough already.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58I apologise for the trouble I've caused you.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05I think he's a doll! Crumb!
0:21:05 > 0:21:10- Grey tweed looks particularly well on you, sir.- That's fine.
0:21:10 > 0:21:17- I'll take it. How much is it? - That'll be 39.50. - I'll just wear it.
0:21:19 > 0:21:24- There you are.- Thank you, sir. I'll get your change and receipt.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29OK.
0:21:29 > 0:21:36- Wait a minute. Why don't you get in the picture - in the mirror?- Good idea.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40This ought to be about right.
0:21:46 > 0:21:52- Can you direct me to Miss Moore's room, please? - Room 2.- Thank you.
0:22:01 > 0:22:07- Hi! I'll be back in a minute. - I was looking for Dolly Moore. - Oh!
0:22:12 > 0:22:15You again! Get lost!
0:22:15 > 0:22:21I hate to bother you, but I told you I want to pay for that outfit I ruined.
0:22:26 > 0:22:34- So, if you'd tell me how much it cost...- I don't remember, but it was very expensive, of course.
0:22:34 > 0:22:39Of course! Would, say... 100 cover it?
0:22:39 > 0:22:44Well, it probably cost more, but I'm not greedy like some girls.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48I'm sorry I lost my temper, but...
0:22:48 > 0:22:53- ..my performances are VERY tiring. - I can imagine!
0:22:53 > 0:22:58Just to show no hard feelings would you let me buy you dinner?
0:22:58 > 0:23:03- I...don't usually...- I understand. Ever been to the Continental?
0:23:04 > 0:23:08Hey... I hear that's a real CLASSY place!
0:23:08 > 0:23:15- It's very nice. Would you like to go there tomorrow? - Say!... You're all right!
0:23:15 > 0:23:18So are you. See you tomorrow.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23- Good night.- >
0:23:23 > 0:23:25Goodbyeee!
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Cheers!
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Hello.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44You look ABSOLUTELY wonderful!
0:23:44 > 0:23:49You've neglected me, so I'm showing you what you've been missing.
0:23:49 > 0:23:54- What can I fix you to drink? - Oh...sherry.
0:23:54 > 0:23:59- How's the book progressing? - Oh, it's...coming along.
0:23:59 > 0:24:06- A lot of research involved. - I'll try to keep your mind off it. What do you want to do after dinner?
0:24:06 > 0:24:09I know what I'd LIKE to do!
0:24:09 > 0:24:14But I have to get back to work. You asked me to write fast.
0:24:14 > 0:24:20- I wish it were finished!- So do I! I don't enjoy this anymore than you.
0:24:20 > 0:24:26- Do you believe that, Father? - Hate to think he was having a good time.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32- Hello.- Oh... Hi!
0:24:32 > 0:24:37- All right if I wait here for Dolly? - If you're in a hurry, I'm ready.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40- Thanks for the offer.- Anytime.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43- Cigarette?- No, thanks.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47- What's this?- Body make-up.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53- Do you all use the same kind? - Uh-huh. Why?
0:24:53 > 0:24:59- Did Patty Gray use this kind? - Yeah. Did you know Patty? - No.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03Just curious. Her hair wasn't like yours and Dolly's.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05How do you know it wasn't?
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Her picture was all over the papers.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12Lot of good her publicity does her now!
0:25:24 > 0:25:31- Give me a hand with this.- Sure. Have more trouble getting into it than getting out, huh?- True!
0:25:31 > 0:25:37- Hello, Dolly. - You two having a good time? Just entertaining him.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41I can do my OWN entertaining!
0:25:44 > 0:25:46Can't I?
0:25:46 > 0:25:51SUSAN: "A rising young author, whose initials are Tom Garrett,
0:25:51 > 0:25:56"was seen with a dazzling blonde last night at the Continental.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00"We wonder what Susan Spencer thinks of this"
0:26:00 > 0:26:04- Is this "research"? - Don't get upset...
0:26:04 > 0:26:11It's natural for you to celebrate OUR engagement with some blonde(!) Have a good time?
0:26:11 > 0:26:17- I'm trying to write a book. - About women?- That is part of it.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21Oh, Tom! I'm hardly a prude and I think I'm...reasonably modern.
0:26:21 > 0:26:28If you're giving your ego a fling, have fun. But dishonesty? Not with me!
0:26:28 > 0:26:34- Susan, this is something I HAVE to do.- All right. Give me one good reason why.
0:26:34 > 0:26:41I...can't explain it NOW. But you'll understand it later. Just trust me.
0:26:41 > 0:26:46You were on Page 4 three weeks ago and you're on Page 4 now!
0:26:46 > 0:26:51- Slow writer! You don't write at all. - Susan, there's a point to all this.
0:26:51 > 0:26:57I've just got it. You're obviously distracted enough without me.
0:26:57 > 0:27:04I'll make things easy for you. You wanted a postponement? Oh, dear boy...you've GOT ONE!
0:27:12 > 0:27:19- She was pretty sore. - It's no fit of temper. She means it. - I know. What could I do?
0:27:19 > 0:27:25- We agreed not to tell her. - But I don't want to see your happiness or hers jeopardized.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28Neither do I!
0:27:28 > 0:27:33But I think it will be all right when we tell her what we're doing.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43- You're sure this is where they found her?- Oh, yes.
0:27:43 > 0:27:48There were enough pictures of it in the newspapers.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54They found the body down there.
0:27:59 > 0:28:04I hope the police find this. I'm sentimental about it.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12Can you get the paper's date in?
0:28:12 > 0:28:14If I get close enough.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25They ought to find it in there.
0:28:25 > 0:28:31- When shall we work on the car? - Tonight, after dinner with Dolly.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34Has she seen you in the coat yet?
0:28:34 > 0:28:37She will tonight.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47There you are.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50Pretty good.
0:28:54 > 0:28:59Thanks for dinner. Sorry I don't have more time.
0:28:59 > 0:29:05- How about later? We could go for a drive.- Sounds great. Hey, we'll be late!
0:29:05 > 0:29:08- See you later. Night. - Night.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11Want a candy? Uh uh.
0:29:32 > 0:29:36Hey, Terry! Quit digging the scenery.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38I thought we were late!
0:29:38 > 0:29:44How much do you know about HIM? Best score I've made in ages.
0:29:44 > 0:29:51Maybe you shouldn't get so chummy with him. And watch YOU move in?!
0:29:51 > 0:29:57No kidding. Remember poor Patty. Come on!
0:30:01 > 0:30:04You notice what he was wearing?
0:30:04 > 0:30:11Grey tweed coat, brown hat, and how about that new black car?
0:30:11 > 0:30:15Your head's draughty! He's got class.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18So, why's he with you? Why not me?
0:30:18 > 0:30:21I didn't mean... No?!
0:30:21 > 0:30:29Aw, you figure it. His looks and dough - what's he shopping around the basement for?
0:30:29 > 0:30:36You got...! Here's the aspirin I owe you. I like to keep my credit good.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39She for real?!
0:30:39 > 0:30:44He DID ask me to go for a ride later.
0:30:44 > 0:30:48Remember that last ride Patty took!
0:30:48 > 0:30:53I guess it won't hurt to play safe.
0:30:57 > 0:31:02But if you try to move in, I'll put you in bandages.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05I'll call that Lieutenant Kennedy.
0:31:13 > 0:31:18The police will naturally look for Patty Gray's fingerprints.
0:31:18 > 0:31:25- We can't give them hers, but it may make them suspicious to find none. - Give them something to think about.
0:31:32 > 0:31:39I bought this body make-up today. Here's a dated sales slip. Better keep it with the pictures.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54Ready?
0:31:54 > 0:31:57Just a second.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59OK.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07I'll rub most of this stuff off.
0:32:07 > 0:32:13I'm sure enough of it will stick in the seams.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25- All through?- Not quite.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33Hey...
0:32:36 > 0:32:38Pretty good!
0:32:38 > 0:32:43This is a very important item(!) I hope it's the right size.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54Now, hold it!
0:32:58 > 0:33:01Well...that should do it.
0:33:03 > 0:33:08Oh, Austin, you'd better take that bottle, the rag and the gloves.
0:33:08 > 0:33:13- I can't have those found here. - OK.
0:33:16 > 0:33:21Tom, are you SURE you want to go through with this?
0:33:21 > 0:33:24We're into it too far.
0:33:24 > 0:33:29I couldn't back out now if I wanted to.
0:33:36 > 0:33:41Gee, if the guy's OK, I don't want him sore at me!
0:33:41 > 0:33:47We'll be very discreet. You just act normal and don't be afraid.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50We'll be watching you.
0:34:28 > 0:34:34- What are we doing here? - It's a nice view up here. I thought you might like it.
0:34:34 > 0:34:39Yeah... It's very pretty. Let's go back!
0:34:39 > 0:34:43- What's your hurry? - Er... I'm tired.
0:34:43 > 0:34:48Now just relax. You'll feel better.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51I don't want to.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54You will!
0:34:54 > 0:34:57STOP IT! Let me go!
0:34:58 > 0:35:01All right. Unwind!
0:35:02 > 0:35:04What do you want?
0:35:04 > 0:35:07Lieutenant Kennedy - Homicide.
0:35:08 > 0:35:14- You've been asking me questions for 4 hours now. - We're investigating a homicide!
0:35:14 > 0:35:17I told you, I never knew the girl,
0:35:17 > 0:35:19or anything about her!
0:35:19 > 0:35:24What were you doing Wednesday evening, the 9th of this month?
0:35:24 > 0:35:28- That was 3 weeks ago! - Not a long time.
0:35:28 > 0:35:35- Can you remember what YOU were doing that night? - I- am asking the questions.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38- I can't recall what I did.- Try.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48I think I went to the movies.
0:35:48 > 0:35:55- At what time? - I went to the late show - about 11 o'clock.
0:35:55 > 0:35:59Then I went home to bed. What's that got to do with it?
0:35:59 > 0:36:02- Did you go alone?- Yes.
0:36:02 > 0:36:09- Can you substantiate it?- How can I? I went alone! You'll just have to take my word for it.
0:36:09 > 0:36:14Thank you, Mr Garrett. Please wait outside.
0:36:19 > 0:36:26- Are you through with Dolly Moore, Roy? - You can send her home.
0:36:29 > 0:36:34- Watch your step on this case, Roy. - Meaning what?
0:36:34 > 0:36:36He's Spencer's future son-in-law.
0:36:36 > 0:36:41Everyone knows Spencer opposes you on capital punishment.
0:36:41 > 0:36:48If the idea ever gets started that you're prosecuting Garrett to get back at Spencer...
0:36:48 > 0:36:53This case can be the biggest step I've ever made, if handled right.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57And I WILL handle it right.
0:37:10 > 0:37:17- I'll send out for coffee if you want some. - I don't expect to be here long.
0:37:18 > 0:37:23Take him downstairs, Joe. Pete's waiting to book him.
0:37:30 > 0:37:38- You're booking me, Thompson? - That's right, Mr Garrett. - For what?- Suspicion of murder.
0:37:38 > 0:37:44I wear a grey topcoat, drive a black car and a dancer gets suspicious.
0:37:44 > 0:37:49- So, you're booking me for murder?! - There's more to it.- What more?
0:37:49 > 0:37:54I'm not going to try the case here, Mr Garrett. I'll do that in court.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57Let's go, Garrett.
0:37:59 > 0:38:03SUSAN: You know Tom had nothing to do with this!
0:38:03 > 0:38:10- If you're going to be honest, insist the police find the REAL murderer. - No newspaper can do that.
0:38:10 > 0:38:15- Once a case starts, we only report. - I can't understand your attitude.
0:38:15 > 0:38:20I can't pre-judge. That's what trials are for.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22Did you run down his background?
0:38:22 > 0:38:25Yeah. He went to college in Michigan.
0:38:25 > 0:38:29Apparently ran out of money and had to quit.
0:38:29 > 0:38:37Worked on a Chicago newpaper, then for Spencer. Quit to write a novel. But none of this helps us much.
0:38:37 > 0:38:42Maybe you'd better have a talk with Austin Spencer and daughter.
0:38:42 > 0:38:47- I wish you'd ask someone else to do that, Roy.- Why?
0:38:47 > 0:38:52Well, I used to know Susan Spencer. We went together for a while.
0:38:52 > 0:38:58- What happened?- Nothing happened. I guess she just wasn't interested.
0:38:58 > 0:39:02Were you?... And still?
0:39:04 > 0:39:09Well then, she'll understand you're just doing your job.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12Sure.
0:39:14 > 0:39:19This is very difficult for all of us. But if you can shed any light...
0:39:19 > 0:39:25- Did you know, or suspect, Garrett's relationship with Patty Gray?- No!
0:39:25 > 0:39:29I knew nothing. I'm not protecting him.
0:39:29 > 0:39:35But you're engaged. We broke it off. Why?
0:39:35 > 0:39:41Nothing to do with the case, but I realised that he wasn't for me.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43What reason had he for this crime?
0:39:43 > 0:39:49Thompson believes he had some sort of clandestine affair with the girl.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51He couldn't get rid of her and...
0:39:51 > 0:39:58Ridiculous. I AM disillusioned about Tom for personal reasons, but he's certainly no murderer!
0:39:58 > 0:40:04Then, I have to tell you that a gold cigarette lighter, inscribed, "To Tom from Susan",
0:40:04 > 0:40:07has been found by the police.
0:40:07 > 0:40:13It was near where the body was discovered. Do you know anything about the lighter?
0:40:13 > 0:40:20I gave it to him. Now, will you help me if you can?
0:40:20 > 0:40:27Neither of us has any information that would substantiate Tom Garrett's guilt.
0:40:28 > 0:40:34Forgive me for troubling you. I'm sorry, Susan. Goodbye.
0:40:36 > 0:40:44Murder, after all, can be committed by anyone: rich or poor; successful or unsuccessful; famous or unknown.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46But I will demonstrate
0:40:46 > 0:40:52that Tom Garrett IS a murderer beneath his intellectual, cultured exterior.
0:40:52 > 0:40:57He was moved by brutal impulses which induced him to commit,
0:40:57 > 0:41:01deliberately and premeditatedly, a brutal murder.
0:41:01 > 0:41:06I will prove it as the law requires, beyond a reasonable doubt.
0:41:06 > 0:41:11Before the murder, Patty Gray said she didn't want to room with you.
0:41:11 > 0:41:16- You also testified that she had lots of money. Correct?- Yes, sir.
0:41:16 > 0:41:21She took it out of her purse and flashed it around in front of me.
0:41:21 > 0:41:24How much money did she have?
0:41:24 > 0:41:30I couldn't say for sure, but there must have been at least 2 or 3,000 dollars!
0:41:30 > 0:41:38- Did she say where she got it? - No. I asked, but all she said was, "Wouldn't you like to know?"
0:41:38 > 0:41:40I said I would, but she didn't say!
0:41:40 > 0:41:43PEOPLE LAUGH
0:41:44 > 0:41:48There you are. It didn't go too badly today.
0:41:48 > 0:41:55I made it clear Tom's grey coat is a popular model worn by thousands of other men.
0:41:55 > 0:41:58The dancers didn't help Thompson!
0:41:58 > 0:42:06I pointed out that Terry Larue's description of the man could apply to lots of men.
0:42:06 > 0:42:11I think you made your point. They're showing highlights on TV.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14Let's see how it looked today.
0:42:20 > 0:42:24'Following Miss Larue's testimony,
0:42:24 > 0:42:30'District Attorney Thompson put John Higgins, a police laboratory technician, on the stand...'
0:42:30 > 0:42:37You're an expert on fingerprints. Is it likely, in the ordinary cleaning of a car,
0:42:37 > 0:42:44- that ALL fingerprints would be removed? - I think that would be VERY unusual.
0:42:44 > 0:42:50So, cleaning a car in such a way would indicate a desire to remove fingerprints
0:42:50 > 0:42:55- more than a cleanliness fixation? - < Objection!
0:42:55 > 0:42:59Mr Thompson is attempting to draw conclusions.
0:42:59 > 0:43:06I withdraw the question. This is a conclusion which should be made by the jury.
0:43:09 > 0:43:14Thompson is talented at making minor points seem important.
0:43:14 > 0:43:16'Later in the day...
0:43:16 > 0:43:18'..Dolly Moore came to the stand.'
0:43:18 > 0:43:26The police laboratory technician has testified that make-up traces were found in the defendant's car.
0:43:26 > 0:43:31It has been identified as Foster's Make-up Number 9.
0:43:31 > 0:43:36- Do you know which brand Miss Gray used?- Foster's Number 9.
0:43:36 > 0:43:40- Did she ever use another kind? - No, sir.
0:43:40 > 0:43:45'The defendant didn't seem too concerned by this testimony.
0:43:45 > 0:43:50'He maintained the same calm that he has displayed from the start.
0:43:50 > 0:43:57'We have presented highlights of today's session at the Garrett trial. Be with us...'
0:43:58 > 0:44:03Thompson didn't make much of the body make-up.
0:44:03 > 0:44:05Yes, that worries me.
0:44:05 > 0:44:10I didn't expect him to make so little of it.
0:44:10 > 0:44:13He must have something up his sleeve.
0:44:13 > 0:44:21- And when did you give this lighter to the defendant, Miss Spencer? - May 7th.- Two days before the murder.
0:44:21 > 0:44:24Mmmm...
0:44:24 > 0:44:28- What did the lighter cost? - 275 dollars.
0:44:28 > 0:44:33Do you recall when you last saw it in the possession of the defendant?
0:44:41 > 0:44:48Miss Spencer, I ask you again: when did you last see this lighter in the defendant's possession?
0:44:48 > 0:44:51I don't remember.
0:44:52 > 0:44:59I don't know how it got there. I'd lost it... Whoever found it must have dropped it there.
0:44:59 > 0:45:04Patty Gray used a brand of make-up, particles of which were in your car.
0:45:04 > 0:45:08- Was Patty Gray ever in your car? - No. I never met her.
0:45:08 > 0:45:15Dolly Moore has been in my car. She has to wear body make-up. It must have rubbed off her.
0:45:16 > 0:45:19I'm sure that explains it(!)
0:45:19 > 0:45:25It was also testified that the man who drove off with Patty was smoking a pipe.
0:45:25 > 0:45:28Have you ever smoked a pipe?
0:45:28 > 0:45:33I have never smoked a pipe - at any time.
0:45:33 > 0:45:37You want us to believe you lost the lighter
0:45:37 > 0:45:44- between the time Miss Spencer gave it you and the murder - a space of 2 DAYS?- It's true.
0:45:44 > 0:45:50- And you and Susan became engaged 2 DAYS before the murder? - I don't see the connection.
0:45:50 > 0:45:53Might there not be a connection?
0:45:53 > 0:45:59If you had to be rid of Miss Gray to fulfil obligations to Miss Spencer?
0:45:59 > 0:46:04- Your Honour, I object STRONGLY... - OK, Mr Wilson! Question withdrawn.
0:46:04 > 0:46:07Did you file an insurance claim
0:46:07 > 0:46:14for the loss of this valuable lighter which you now allege to have lost so innocently?
0:46:14 > 0:46:18Er...no, I guess not.
0:46:21 > 0:46:24Oh...yesterday's transcript.
0:46:24 > 0:46:31Mr Garrett, yesterday, attempting to explain the absence of fingerprints in your car,
0:46:31 > 0:46:35you testified - and I quote...
0:46:37 > 0:46:45"What's so unusual about that? I am VERY fussy about my car and keep it clean at all times."
0:46:45 > 0:46:48That's true.
0:46:48 > 0:46:51With such a fetish for neatness,
0:46:51 > 0:46:58how do you explain the fact that a woman's stocking was found in your car's glove compartment?
0:46:58 > 0:47:06Well...some time ago, a lady friend got a run in her stocking. She took it off and put it in there.
0:47:06 > 0:47:10- Who was the lady? - I don't remember.
0:47:10 > 0:47:16I believe it was someone I met at a party. I merely drove her home.
0:47:16 > 0:47:20- You testified you never smoked a pipe.- That's right.
0:47:20 > 0:47:27- You may have forgotten.- I certainly remember if I ever smoked a pipe. - Really? Perhaps not.
0:47:27 > 0:47:34- But you can't remember what you did the night of the murder?- I went to the movies!- Oh, the movies!
0:47:34 > 0:47:39- Alone? That's your claim, isn't it? - It's the truth.
0:47:39 > 0:47:43Is there a pipe-smoker among the gentlemen of the jury?
0:47:43 > 0:47:51Will you please fill and light your pipe for us? Stand up so they can all see.
0:48:02 > 0:48:04One moment, please. May I?
0:48:07 > 0:48:14You will recall it's been testified the man last seen with Patty Gray was smoking a pipe.
0:48:14 > 0:48:20Note the circular stain on the back of this match cover used by your fellow juror.
0:48:20 > 0:48:22You'll notice similar stains
0:48:22 > 0:48:28on these match covers found in the garage of the defendant.
0:48:28 > 0:48:33And you have NEVER smoked a pipe, Mr Garrett?
0:48:33 > 0:48:40I've told you that. I DO have visitors occasionally, however. Some of them smoke pipes.
0:48:40 > 0:48:48- I guess that would explain how the match covers became stained. - I doubt it very much, Mr Garrett.
0:48:48 > 0:48:56Now, Miss Williams has testified that Patty Gray had a large sum of money with her, maybe 3,000.
0:48:56 > 0:49:00Have you any idea how she might have obtained it?
0:49:00 > 0:49:05How would I know? I've told you, I know nothing about Patty Gray.
0:49:05 > 0:49:09But our investigation of your bank records
0:49:09 > 0:49:16discloses that 2 days before the murder, you withdrew 3,000 from your account.
0:49:16 > 0:49:21- Did you give it to Patty Gray? - I certainly did not!
0:49:21 > 0:49:24Then why did you withdraw 3,000?
0:49:24 > 0:49:30Not that it concerns you, but I withdrew the money to purchase an engagement ring.
0:49:30 > 0:49:35So why did you re-deposit 2,800 three days later?
0:49:35 > 0:49:40- Did you purchase a ring for 200? - I didn't puchase an engagement ring.
0:49:40 > 0:49:44My engagement was...postponed.
0:49:44 > 0:49:49You didn't withdraw the money to give to Miss Gray
0:49:49 > 0:49:55- then later ransack her apartment and re-deposit the money? - No! It was a coincidence.
0:49:55 > 0:50:02Another coincidence, Mr Garrett?! That's your explanation for ALL the evidence in this case.
0:50:02 > 0:50:07Well, now let's move on to another...er...coincidence.
0:50:07 > 0:50:13Other than Miss Gray and Miss Moore can you say which other performers have been in your car?
0:50:13 > 0:50:18- Miss Gray was never in my car. I NEVER met her.- Ah, yes. Yes.
0:50:18 > 0:50:22Well, other than Dolly Moore, how many others?
0:50:22 > 0:50:25There were no others.
0:50:25 > 0:50:32- With the Court's permission, I would like to excuse this witness and recall Miss Moore.- You may.
0:50:32 > 0:50:35Miss Moore, please.
0:50:35 > 0:50:39HER STILETTO HEELS CLICK ACROSS THE FLOOR
0:50:39 > 0:50:45You realise that you're still testifying under oath? Yes, sir.
0:50:45 > 0:50:53Miss Moore, the defendant has said that the particles of body make-up, found in his car, rubbed off you.
0:50:53 > 0:51:01- Don't you believe it. I always take off my body make-up BEFORE I leave the club.- I see.
0:51:01 > 0:51:08- Was this Miss Gray's habit also? - No, just the opposite. She waited until she got home to take it off.
0:51:08 > 0:51:12The body make-up, I mean. TITTERS
0:51:12 > 0:51:14Thank you.
0:51:14 > 0:51:20MUTTERING FROM THE JURY
0:51:23 > 0:51:31RADIO: 'The jury resumed their deliberations this morning.
0:51:31 > 0:51:36'Although there is no indication of when they'll deliver their verdict,
0:51:36 > 0:51:41'most observers think a decision may be expected this morning.
0:51:41 > 0:51:44'Court sessions usually open at 10am.
0:51:44 > 0:51:52'But, before 9am, spectators and the press had already begun congregating outside the court-house.
0:51:52 > 0:51:58'The trial of Tom Garrett has been attracting increasingly wide attention...
0:52:11 > 0:52:16'..At the time of his arrest, Garrett was working on his second novel.'
0:52:18 > 0:52:20Aaaagh!
0:52:28 > 0:52:35'..And so the fate of Tom Garrett today rests solely in the hearts and minds of 12 jurors.'
0:52:37 > 0:52:41- Hello, Jonathan. - Hello, don't get up.
0:52:41 > 0:52:44- Jury still out?- Yes.
0:52:44 > 0:52:49Relax Jonathan. You're not on trial. Getting upset won't help at all.
0:52:49 > 0:52:57- They've been out 2 days. I'm worried. - So am I, but I can't do anything. Neither can you. So, take it easy.
0:52:58 > 0:53:03What's the trouble, Jonathan? I've never seen you like this.
0:53:03 > 0:53:12- You've got enough troubles. - Come on...something's on your mind. What is it?
0:53:12 > 0:53:18I didn't want to burden you with it, but you'll have to know sooner or later.
0:53:18 > 0:53:23Austin Spencer was killed today in an automobile accident.
0:53:23 > 0:53:27That's impossible!
0:53:27 > 0:53:29It's a great shock to me, too!
0:53:29 > 0:53:36- But he's GOT to be alive! - We just have to face it...- No! Everything depends on him!
0:53:36 > 0:53:42- I don't...- Austin's the only one who knows I didn't kill that girl! - What?
0:53:42 > 0:53:49He was in on the whole thing. We planted the evidence together, AFTER the murder!
0:53:49 > 0:53:53The lighter, the stocking... everything. It was all a plan...
0:53:53 > 0:53:58In view of this extraordinary revelation by Mr Garrett,
0:53:58 > 0:54:03I move that the case be re-opened for the submission of new evidence.
0:54:04 > 0:54:10This is OBVIOUSLY the frantic effort of a desperate man.
0:54:10 > 0:54:18It is HIGHLY significant that Mr Garrett comes up with this story NOW after Mr Spencer's death.
0:54:18 > 0:54:24To re-open the trial at this point would be a travesty of our judicial process.
0:54:24 > 0:54:29- The State opposes such a motion. - I am inclined to agree with you.
0:54:29 > 0:54:35However, the Court is cognisant that a man's life is at stake here.
0:54:35 > 0:54:38I'll give the defence the chance to present
0:54:38 > 0:54:47tangible, corroborative evidence in support of this motion. The jury's verdict will be withheld.
0:54:47 > 0:54:54He said the pictures would be in here! Are you sure he said the safe?
0:54:54 > 0:55:00He saw your father put them in. But we'd better check Austin's office, too.
0:55:00 > 0:55:03Let's check this desk first.
0:55:21 > 0:55:23Rise!
0:55:24 > 0:55:26This Court is now in session.
0:55:26 > 0:55:29Be seated.
0:55:30 > 0:55:37The defence has failed to indicate that it is able to present any further testimony
0:55:37 > 0:55:42which could properly be considered new evidence.
0:55:42 > 0:55:45The motion to re-open is denied.
0:55:45 > 0:55:51WILSON'S WHISPERS ARE INAUDIBLE
0:56:09 > 0:56:13Have you reached a verdict? We have, Your Honour.
0:56:13 > 0:56:16What is your verdict?
0:56:16 > 0:56:22JUROR: We find the defendant guilty of murder in the first degree.
0:56:51 > 0:56:56Tom, I've got to know the truth. I can't take any more lies.
0:56:56 > 0:57:02I'm not lying, Susan. There WERE pictures. Your father even wrote dates on.
0:57:02 > 0:57:05But whose idea was it?
0:57:05 > 0:57:10I believe he mentioned it first, then the idea began to intrigue me.
0:57:10 > 0:57:12Don't you believe me?
0:57:13 > 0:57:16I don't know what to believe now.
0:57:16 > 0:57:19You think I could have killed her?
0:57:19 > 0:57:23No...I never thought so, but...
0:57:23 > 0:57:30Perhaps I can't face the possibility that someone who had been so close might have done such a thing.
0:57:30 > 0:57:38I've done nothing to make you doubt me. Find the pictures and you'll know I'm being truthful.
0:57:40 > 0:57:42I hope so.
0:57:58 > 0:58:05Come to think of it, Father DID behave rather strangely at the time of Tom's arrest.
0:58:05 > 0:58:13He was very fond of Tom and yet... he didn't seem as surprised or disturbed as he should have been.
0:58:13 > 0:58:18It was almost as if he were... confident - as if he knew something.
0:58:19 > 0:58:24If what Tom says is true, that could explain it.
0:58:24 > 0:58:27It might be.
0:58:27 > 0:58:33But the pictures? What happened to them? We searched everywhere.
0:58:33 > 0:58:39Father would never have destroyed them, unless...
0:58:39 > 0:58:43..he had them in the car before the accident.
0:58:43 > 0:58:49HALE: They were photographs, all right - but charred beyond recognition.
0:58:49 > 0:58:57< The lab couldn't determine what was on them. But there must be negatives.
0:58:57 > 0:59:02He used a self-developing camera - no negatives.
0:59:02 > 0:59:08Isn't this enough? No, they're just remnants. But now we know he isn't lying.
0:59:08 > 0:59:15These could be of anything. But Tom COULDN'T have known about the pictures in the car.
0:59:15 > 0:59:21That's more than just a coincidence, Bob. You might be right.
0:59:21 > 0:59:27But officially the situation hasn't changed. You don't have REAL evidence.
0:59:27 > 0:59:32If you love someone, you must believe in him.
0:59:32 > 0:59:37I know, but these remains do not prove his innocence legally.
0:59:37 > 0:59:42They do for me. I MUST see him, Bob.
0:59:42 > 0:59:46He's gone to the State Prison. That's only an hour away.
0:59:46 > 0:59:51A new prisoner in...death row
0:59:51 > 0:59:55can't have visitors the first week.
1:00:27 > 1:00:33You didn't run much of a story on the denial of Mr Garrett's appeal.
1:00:33 > 1:00:36We could only report they denied it.
1:00:36 > 1:00:42I want more than that. Use the newspaper - editorials, features...
1:00:42 > 1:00:45Anything to raise support.
1:00:45 > 1:00:50Miss Spencer, your father said to handle this case normally.
1:00:50 > 1:00:57How would he have felt about our taking sides? I own this paper now.
1:00:57 > 1:01:05My father's will made provision for a committee to run it, but the executor is away.
1:01:05 > 1:01:09The will can't be probated. That leaves things with me.
1:01:09 > 1:01:14I'll take responsibility, but you MUST do as I say.
1:01:21 > 1:01:28That's quite an editorial. Even Austin never went THAT far! That's the girl you liked?
1:01:28 > 1:01:31- I still do!- After this?!
1:01:31 > 1:01:36- Don't you have any doubts about Garrett's guilt?- None at all!
1:01:36 > 1:01:41- I've NEVER doubted it - neither did the jury.- They do now.
1:01:41 > 1:01:47Oh, I've read the interviews with the jurors. I know about the petitions pouring in.
1:01:47 > 1:01:52That's because that girl has used the paper to arouse emotions.
1:01:52 > 1:01:55She's even got you all steamed up!
1:01:55 > 1:02:01But she may get under the Governor's skin. I hear he's been following closely.
1:02:01 > 1:02:04I mustn't be swayed emotionally.
1:02:04 > 1:02:09Whatever happens has to be based on facts and the law, not feelings.
1:02:09 > 1:02:14Perhaps, but it may be that you're hanging yourself politically.
1:02:14 > 1:02:20- You may end up as popular as poison-ivy at a picnic. - I can't help that.
1:02:20 > 1:02:26- Retreat now and I'm dead. - Wounded, maybe. You're not dead until the Governor pardons him.
1:02:27 > 1:02:34We've still got another week before the execution. I want to know more about Miss Gray.
1:02:34 > 1:02:40Her last job was in Kansas City. Start there and work back.
1:02:40 > 1:02:46- Why?- If we could find any possible connection between Garrett and Patty in the past,
1:02:46 > 1:02:54- the Governor COULDN'T pardon him, despite Susan Spencer's stirrings. - You're beating a dead horse.
1:02:54 > 1:03:01Nothing about this will be dead until Garrett's executed. Get started.
1:03:03 > 1:03:08I've tried everything. I talked to the Governor personally.
1:03:08 > 1:03:11He wouldn't do anything?
1:03:11 > 1:03:19He'd like to, but he can't do it without new evidence, or some other valid reason for him to step in.
1:03:19 > 1:03:24I even tried to get him to postpone it to give us more time,
1:03:24 > 1:03:29but he wouldn't do it without a recommendation from Thompson.
1:03:29 > 1:03:31Thompson (!)
1:03:31 > 1:03:36He wouldn't lift a finger to help me.
1:03:37 > 1:03:42Maybe Susan can do something through the paper.
1:03:42 > 1:03:48I'm afraid not. Allan Kirk, her father's executor, has returned. He's in charge now.
1:04:05 > 1:04:08Tomorrow night?
1:04:09 > 1:04:12What time?
1:04:12 > 1:04:1511 o'clock.
1:04:17 > 1:04:22PIANIST PLAYS JAZZ MUSIC
1:04:25 > 1:04:31Out of your territory in Miami, ain't you? A little.
1:04:31 > 1:04:37Do you remember a Patty Gray? I don't remember their names.
1:04:37 > 1:04:39She worked here once.
1:04:39 > 1:04:43What did this mouse look like?
1:04:45 > 1:04:52Oh, yeah...her! 6 or 7 years ago. Some dish! She sure threw it around.
1:04:52 > 1:04:58What did she do? Waitress. With her build I said it was a waste.
1:04:58 > 1:05:05I gave her a chance to show what she had. It was great! Guys drooling all over!
1:05:05 > 1:05:12Patty Gray! This was her first dancing job? I gave her her start.
1:05:12 > 1:05:18I even named her. She wasn't Patty Gray? You kiddin'?
1:05:18 > 1:05:25She was really "Emma Blooker"! A burly queen named Emma Blooker! Ha!
1:05:25 > 1:05:29She have family? No. Friends?
1:05:29 > 1:05:36Friends?! Emma?! She was out to take everybody. She even tried squeezing me!
1:05:36 > 1:05:39I gave her a fast brush.
1:05:39 > 1:05:45Served her right - getting mixed up with Robinson. Robinson? >
1:05:45 > 1:05:52Who was he? Played the drums in a band. Emma played him for a sucker.
1:05:52 > 1:05:56But he was too much for her. He gave her a real rough time.
1:05:56 > 1:06:00In what way? Oh, he'd rough her up.
1:06:00 > 1:06:04Sometimes for nothing, just to keep in practice.
1:06:04 > 1:06:12She finally beat it just to get away from him. But she took off with his dough!
1:06:12 > 1:06:18Said he'd get her if it was his last act. Drink? Coke, thanks.
1:06:18 > 1:06:26Did he ever find her? Don't know. Never heard from 'em again.
1:06:29 > 1:06:31Is this Robinson?
1:06:35 > 1:06:42Nah, he was kind of blonde - a little skinny guy, but REAL rough.
1:06:42 > 1:06:46You don't remember this guy? Nope...never seen him.
1:06:46 > 1:06:53What's this about? Just curious about Patty. She in trouble?
1:06:53 > 1:06:55Not any more.
1:06:56 > 1:07:04I couldn't find ANY connection between Garrett and this girl, Patty Gray or Emma Blooker.
1:07:04 > 1:07:09Might the Governor postpone? If Thompson recommends it.
1:07:09 > 1:07:11The first suspect with a motive!
1:07:11 > 1:07:20Tom will be set free? No, but it WILL give us time. I've put a tracer on Robinson.
1:07:20 > 1:07:26It's strange. I never thought I'd be relying on you like this.
1:07:26 > 1:07:31I'm not sure I deserve it, but I'm very grateful. Forget it.
1:07:31 > 1:07:34BUZZER
1:07:39 > 1:07:44- Yes? - 'Are you alone, Bob?' - No, Roy.

1:07:46 > 1:07:51SOUND OF FOOTSTEPS
1:07:53 > 1:07:59- What is it? - Mike Robinson died 4 years ago in Chicago.
1:08:03 > 1:08:05I'm sorry, Miss Spencer.
1:08:12 > 1:08:16Excuse me, but Mr Wilson is very anxious to see you.
1:08:16 > 1:08:20 You must forgive me for barging in. Oh, Susan, too!
1:08:20 > 1:08:26This is Allan Kirk, Austin Spencer's executor. You tell them.
1:08:26 > 1:08:31 Mr Spencer's affairs were involved, as you might imagine.
1:08:31 > 1:08:38We had to get court orders to open various deposit vaults. We found this, addressed to you.
1:08:57 > 1:09:01"This document is handwritten by me,
1:09:01 > 1:09:07"to be delivered in the event of Garrett's conviction after my death.
1:09:07 > 1:09:11HE CONTINUES READING BUT UNDER HIS BREATH
1:09:14 > 1:09:19Is there any question about this being the handwriting of Austin?
1:09:22 > 1:09:25Absolutely none. It's definitely his.
1:09:34 > 1:09:39Well, it's all here - the dates, the places, the explanations.
1:09:39 > 1:09:44He kept a written and photographic record of everything they did.
1:09:44 > 1:09:47Garrett has been telling the truth.
1:09:47 > 1:09:54- He sent a recommendation to the Governor, notified the press. - Trying to save face at the last(!)
1:09:54 > 1:10:02- No, he was sincere. He even arranged for us to meet here, so that I could tell you about the pardon.- Very big!
1:10:02 > 1:10:10- Don't be bitter.- But if Thompson had had his way, he'd have kept this pinned on me.- It's over now.
1:10:10 > 1:10:14I told him from the start that I'd never even met this girl!
1:10:14 > 1:10:19If he hadn't tried so hard to make his name...
1:10:19 > 1:10:24He should have said long ago. He should have tried to discover who really killed Emma.
1:10:24 > 1:10:27Instead, he put me through this!
1:10:27 > 1:10:33- I have nothing to be grateful... - How did you know her name was Emma?
1:10:34 > 1:10:37I...read it in the newspaper.
1:10:38 > 1:10:40It hasn't been in the newspaper.
1:10:40 > 1:10:43I must have heard it from someone!
1:10:45 > 1:10:47You killed that girl, didn't you?
1:10:50 > 1:10:53You did, didn't you?
1:10:58 > 1:11:04Well, this girl... A long time ago. I was just a kid...
1:11:04 > 1:11:11We... I had to marry her. I found out later that it was just a trap.
1:11:11 > 1:11:19I never lived with her. I gave her lots of money and she promised to go to Mexico and get a divorce.
1:11:19 > 1:11:26I never saw or heard of her again until she came back after my book was published.
1:11:26 > 1:11:30She hadn't divorced me at all!
1:11:30 > 1:11:33But all you thought of was murder?
1:11:33 > 1:11:37I didn't at first... I didn't even think about it!
1:11:37 > 1:11:45Then your father started talking about capital punishment. He was showing me a way to get rid of her!
1:11:45 > 1:11:48Without any risk!
1:11:48 > 1:11:54We had our whole lives ahead of us. That's what I was trying to save. And I did.
1:11:54 > 1:12:01- I thought you were innocent. - You would have fought anyway, if you'd known WHY I did it.
1:12:01 > 1:12:06I...don't know WHAT I would have done.
1:12:08 > 1:12:10Darling...
1:12:10 > 1:12:14..I know what you've done for me, what you've been through.
1:12:14 > 1:12:20Please...let me go. I can't think. Please...let me go!
1:12:45 > 1:12:46DOOR OPENS
1:12:50 > 1:12:53HALE RUSTLES PAPER
1:12:53 > 1:13:00I called the prison but they said you'd left. The Governor has called a press conference at 9 o'clock.
1:13:00 > 1:13:06He'll officially announce and sign the pardon then. In an hour it will be over.
1:13:06 > 1:13:12How did he take it? I'm glad you're here, Bob.
1:13:12 > 1:13:15You've done a lot for me.
1:13:15 > 1:13:18I wanted to help if I could.
1:13:18 > 1:13:26Why? For the same reason you helped Garrett. You know how I feel.
1:13:27 > 1:13:32If I were... accused of a crime,
1:13:32 > 1:13:35if you thought I might be guilty,
1:13:35 > 1:13:40if I wasn't the same person you thought I was, would you still help me?
1:13:40 > 1:13:45How could I love you and not do anything I could? Anything?
1:13:45 > 1:13:50Even if you believed I committed murder?
1:13:50 > 1:13:52What is it? What's wrong?
1:13:52 > 1:13:58You've helped save the man you love. You should be happy.
1:13:58 > 1:14:04That man I saw in prison wasn't the man I loved. He was a stranger!
1:14:05 > 1:14:12What happened at the prison, Susan? If something happened, you can't keep it to yourself.
1:14:12 > 1:14:18Bob, please... If he's pardoned, Garrett can never be tried or punished again.
1:14:18 > 1:14:24If you know something, you must speak now - no matter how much it hurts.
1:15:03 > 1:15:05'State Prison...'
1:15:05 > 1:15:10I can't! I can't do it! I can't...
1:15:10 > 1:15:12SHE SOBS PITIABLY
1:15:12 > 1:15:16'Hello? This is the State Prison?'
1:15:26 > 1:15:28A nice smile, Governor!
1:15:28 > 1:15:33- Will you write again? - That's the way I make my living.
1:15:33 > 1:15:35And Miss Spencer...
1:15:35 > 1:15:36PHONE RINGS
1:15:37 > 1:15:42Hello?... Yes... Who is this talking?
1:15:42 > 1:15:45Yes... It's for you, Governor.
1:15:45 > 1:15:48GOVERNOR: Hello?...
1:15:51 > 1:15:54Are you quite sure about this?
1:15:57 > 1:15:59Is Miss Spencer with you now?
1:16:04 > 1:16:07I see... Thank you.
1:16:16 > 1:16:21Take Mr Garrett back to his cell. There will be no pardon.
1:16:21 > 1:16:23Guard!
