0:08:40 > 0:08:43Well, I'm surprised that you admit to that many.

0:08:43 > 0:08:46One - my son Walter. I killed him with kindness.

0:09:14 > 0:09:18In this country, it's the people who make the decisions.

0:11:41 > 0:11:43Are you responsible for the fact that a cheap murder was

0:11:43 > 0:11:46featured on the same front page as the death of my father?

0:11:46 > 0:11:49The old man wanted the story played up big.

0:11:49 > 0:11:51'Course, he didn't know then he was going to be news.

0:11:51 > 0:11:53But inasmuch as it was his last request...

0:12:15 > 0:12:18none of you has anything to worry about.

0:12:54 > 0:12:57So, you're Edward Mobley.

0:12:57 > 0:12:59Deepest sympathy, Mr Kyne.

0:12:59 > 0:13:00Sit down.

0:13:00 > 0:13:01Thank you.

0:13:01 > 0:13:04You're the fellow who wrote the book.

0:13:04 > 0:13:08Every time the old man got sore at me, which was often,

0:13:08 > 0:13:11he used to talk about you...

0:13:11 > 0:13:13Mobley this and Mobley that.

0:13:13 > 0:13:16I got pretty sick of it.

0:13:15 > 0:13:18Yes, I can imagine you did.

0:13:18 > 0:13:20Those three who were just in here

0:13:20 > 0:13:23made their opinion of me pretty plain -

0:13:23 > 0:13:25Amos Kyne's idiot son.

0:13:25 > 0:13:28I suppose you feel the same.

0:13:28 > 0:13:29Frankly, I don't feel qualified

0:13:29 > 0:13:32to feel any way about you, Mr Kyne.

0:13:31 > 0:13:34Other publishers took their sons in

0:13:34 > 0:13:36and taught them the business,

0:13:35 > 0:13:37but not him.

0:13:39 > 0:13:42Till I get the hang of things around here, I'm going to need some help -

0:13:42 > 0:13:46not that I don't intend to run things in my own way, from behind the scenes.

0:13:46 > 0:13:48I've got an idea.

0:13:48 > 0:13:51It's a great idea, if I do say so myself.

0:13:50 > 0:13:53I'm going to create a new job -

0:13:53 > 0:13:55executive director...

0:13:55 > 0:13:58someone to do the actual work.

0:13:58 > 0:14:00What do you think of it?

0:14:00 > 0:14:04It sounds like a step your father would have approved.

0:14:04 > 0:14:06My father is dead.

0:14:06 > 0:14:08This is my plant now.

0:14:08 > 0:14:11I'm going to get myself a gimmick -

0:14:11 > 0:14:13something that will set the three of them

0:14:12 > 0:14:15scrambling for the new job.

0:14:15 > 0:14:17What do you think of that?

0:14:19 > 0:14:21I'd rather not say.

0:14:21 > 0:14:25When I have them dangling on the string,

0:14:25 > 0:14:27when they realise that I hold their

0:14:27 > 0:14:30entire lives in my hands...

0:14:30 > 0:14:34they won't sneer. Now, tell me...

0:14:34 > 0:14:37could even he have thought up an idea like that?

0:14:37 > 0:14:40No. Never!

0:14:40 > 0:14:42Anything further?

0:14:42 > 0:14:44Not for now.

0:14:57 > 0:14:59Dear Walter Kyne,

0:14:59 > 0:15:02before your father died, I was working on a...

0:15:02 > 0:15:04tryout with Midwest Television,

0:15:04 > 0:15:06which could be immensely profitable.

0:15:06 > 0:15:09During these trying days of mourning,

0:15:09 > 0:15:12I have not wanted to disturb you,

0:15:12 > 0:15:14but let's have a conference as soon as possible.

0:15:14 > 0:15:16All right, Nancy. Get that out in the morning. That's all.

0:15:16 > 0:15:17Yes, sir.

0:15:17 > 0:15:19(What's Griffith doing in there)

0:15:19 > 0:15:21(for half an hour with Walter Kyne?)

0:15:22 > 0:15:24Goodnight, Miss Donner, Mr Loving.

0:15:24 > 0:15:26Goodnight. 'Night.

0:15:27 > 0:15:30Mil...until I clinch this new job,

0:15:30 > 0:15:32I'm going to be like a cat on a hot tin roof.

0:15:32 > 0:15:34Oh, love, the boys have gotten out of betting line.

0:15:34 > 0:15:36You're their favourite and mine - six to five.

0:15:36 > 0:15:38It's not that simple.

0:15:38 > 0:15:40I'm plumping with everything that I can think of...

0:15:40 > 0:15:43This Midwest deal, influence...

0:15:43 > 0:15:45I've written dozens of letters.

0:15:44 > 0:15:46I'll have the pressure pouring in,

0:15:46 > 0:15:49but Kyne keeps harping on this murder thing,

0:15:49 > 0:15:52as if solving it could be a factor.

0:15:52 > 0:15:53Now, do you suppose that...?

0:15:53 > 0:15:54Why not?

0:15:54 > 0:15:57It does credit to a better brain than Walter Kyne's.

0:15:57 > 0:16:00Yes. He'd get a scoop and an executive director,

0:15:59 > 0:16:02without the trouble of making up his little mind.

0:16:02 > 0:16:04There's the guy now!

0:16:04 > 0:16:06Darling, I thought you liked Jon.

0:16:06 > 0:16:08 Well, there's no room for love around here now.

0:16:08 > 0:16:10What's he doing with Gerald Meade?

0:16:10 > 0:16:13MILDRED: Well, darling, solving the murder's the big thing.

0:16:13 > 0:16:16He'd naturally want the crime beat man on his team.

0:16:16 > 0:16:19So why don't you try and get him on yours?

0:16:19 > 0:16:21Griffith's probably sewing him up right now.

0:16:21 > 0:16:24MILDRED: Gerald would sell his mother and deliver.

0:16:23 > 0:16:25LOVING: Well, then, how can I be sure of him?

0:16:27 > 0:16:30You go to work on Meade,

0:16:30 > 0:16:32and if it will ease your mind, love, in a little while

0:16:32 > 0:16:36I'll drop down to the dell and, er, feel out Griffith.

0:16:36 > 0:16:37GRIFFITH: Hello.

0:16:42 > 0:16:43Yes, sir?

0:16:43 > 0:16:44Better have another, Carlo.

0:16:44 > 0:16:46I've been upstairs with Walter Kyne.

0:16:46 > 0:16:48A fine man.

0:16:48 > 0:16:50He's a weak-spined, blue-eyed fish, you ask me!

0:16:50 > 0:16:51I don't know him too well.

0:16:51 > 0:16:54Well, I... Make it two.

0:16:54 > 0:16:55No, make it three.

0:16:54 > 0:16:56Hello, Jon.

0:16:56 > 0:16:57Hi. Hi!

0:16:57 > 0:16:58Let Nancy sit between us.

0:17:02 > 0:17:03Yes, ma'am.

0:17:13 > 0:17:16And the man who gets the killer lands the job.

0:17:16 > 0:17:18Uh-huh.

0:17:19 > 0:17:20Who do you bet on, Ed -

0:17:20 > 0:17:22on Loving? Loving's smart,

0:17:22 > 0:17:24Loving's fast,

0:17:24 > 0:17:26Loving knows a lot of the right people,

0:17:26 > 0:17:28but Loving doesn't get the job.

0:17:28 > 0:17:29No?

0:17:29 > 0:17:31No. I'm going to get it,

0:17:31 > 0:17:33because I spent my youth and 30,000

0:17:33 > 0:17:35on whiskey and devotion to the job,

0:17:35 > 0:17:39because I have a long-suffering wife and two swell kids,

0:17:39 > 0:17:42and because you and I together are going to crack this murder thing.

0:17:42 > 0:17:44Mr Loving wants Ed on HIS team.

0:17:44 > 0:17:46Yeah? Well, he's not going to have him,

0:17:46 > 0:17:48because Ed's going to help me!

0:17:48 > 0:17:49And let me get one thing clear -

0:17:49 > 0:17:51I don't promise you a thing for yourself.

0:17:51 > 0:17:53Not a thing!

0:17:52 > 0:17:55Well, let me make myself clear, Jon.

0:17:55 > 0:17:58I don't care who gets the job.

0:17:58 > 0:18:01For one thing, I've been off a crime beat for five years,

0:18:01 > 0:18:03and for another, I'm not going to get

0:18:03 > 0:18:05my throat torn open in any dogfight.

0:18:05 > 0:18:08Now, Ed, I've been real nice to you.

0:18:08 > 0:18:10Nancy, tell Ed I've been real nice to him.

0:18:10 > 0:18:13I knew it all along. >

0:18:12 > 0:18:15Just knew I was going to find a friendly face down here.

0:18:15 > 0:18:17Well, my face is friendly.

0:18:17 > 0:18:18Hi.

0:18:18 > 0:18:19Hello, you lovely people.

0:18:19 > 0:18:21I always see you two together, don't I?

0:18:21 > 0:18:23You could do a column about it.

0:18:23 > 0:18:25Oh, I'd love to, darling.

0:18:25 > 0:18:27I'm all for romance.

0:18:32 > 0:18:35Have a rum on the rocks or something.

0:18:35 > 0:18:37Well, now, thank you, Jon. That's right friendly of you.

0:18:37 > 0:18:39And I do think we should all be very friendly

0:18:39 > 0:18:41during these trying times.

0:18:41 > 0:18:43How is Mark?

0:18:43 > 0:18:46Oh, he's driving home you-know-who.

0:18:46 > 0:18:47Who is you-know-who?

0:18:47 > 0:18:49Jon, Walter... Walter Kyne.

0:18:49 > 0:18:53I understand honest Harry Kritzer's having dinner there.

0:18:53 > 0:18:57One afternoon at the sands in Vegas, I was taking a swim.

0:18:57 > 0:19:00Then I looked up and saw Dorothy sitting by the pool.

0:19:00 > 0:19:04Saw her legs first - those beautiful, long legs.

0:19:04 > 0:19:05Ha ha ha!

0:19:05 > 0:19:08So I made kind of a rough-and-ready approach.

0:19:08 > 0:19:11I'll never forget what she answered - two words.

0:19:11 > 0:19:13You know what she answered, Harry?

0:19:12 > 0:19:14Uh, no, I don't.

0:19:14 > 0:19:17I said, "Window shopping?"

0:19:17 > 0:19:18KYNE: Yes.

0:19:18 > 0:19:19Ha ha ha ha!

0:19:19 > 0:19:20Ha ha ha.

0:19:20 > 0:19:23So, three nights later, I settled for marriage!

0:19:23 > 0:19:24Excuse me, sir.

0:19:24 > 0:19:25Hmm?

0:19:25 > 0:19:27Mr Griffith is waiting on the telephone.

0:19:27 > 0:19:28Oh, I'll take it outside.

0:19:28 > 0:19:30Excuse me.

0:19:34 > 0:19:36Sit next to me, Harry.

0:19:36 > 0:19:38Uh-uh.

0:19:38 > 0:19:40I don't like the walls in this room.

0:19:40 > 0:19:42Look like they've got sliding panels.

0:19:42 > 0:19:44Coward.

0:19:44 > 0:19:47He's probably got microphones behind those pictures, too.

0:19:47 > 0:19:50Well, you don't need to kiss me so loud.

0:19:51 > 0:19:53When's the next time you can visit your mother?

0:19:53 > 0:19:57Tomorrow night... I hope.

0:19:57 > 0:20:00I don't like keeping up this "mother" business.

0:20:00 > 0:20:01Every time I mention mother to Walter,

0:20:01 > 0:20:03I can't keep a straight face.

0:20:03 > 0:20:05How do you think I stand in the race, darling?

0:20:05 > 0:20:08Oh, far behind, darling, far behind.

0:20:08 > 0:20:10Well, darling, I don't think so.

0:20:10 > 0:20:12Let Griffith and Loving beat their brains out.

0:20:12 > 0:20:15What chance have I got - send out a cameraman? Am I a crime catcher?

0:20:15 > 0:20:19Uh-uh. I'll play it my own way...

0:20:19 > 0:20:21as Walter's best friend.

0:20:21 > 0:20:24With...Walter's best wife?

0:20:24 > 0:20:26I don't want to involve you.

0:20:26 > 0:20:28My hero.

0:20:28 > 0:20:30You'll never guess who's moved in here...

0:20:30 > 0:20:31Harry Kritzer.

0:20:31 > 0:20:33Honest Harry?

0:20:33 > 0:20:34Very mysterious...

0:20:34 > 0:20:36No name on his mailbox.

0:20:36 > 0:20:38Hideaway?

0:20:38 > 0:20:42Do you suppose old Harry's got a blonde stashed away on the side?

0:20:42 > 0:20:43If he ever sees me, he'll die.

0:20:43 > 0:20:45He's right across the hall from me.

0:20:45 > 0:20:46Oh?

0:20:46 > 0:20:48SLURRED: You know, my darling,

0:20:48 > 0:20:49as I was telling you-

0:20:49 > 0:20:51between the fourth and the fifth highball,

0:20:51 > 0:20:54a most intelligent thing to do is

0:20:54 > 0:20:57to find outbefore you get married-

0:20:57 > 0:20:58the more the better.

0:20:58 > 0:21:00I know quite a lot ABOUT YOU NOW:

0:21:00 > 0:21:02Went to school not far from here;

0:21:02 > 0:21:04played stoop ball against the sidewalls

0:21:04 > 0:21:06of engine company number 18-

0:21:06 > 0:21:08I didn't mean that kind of knowledge.

0:21:08 > 0:21:10I know you didn't.

0:21:10 > 0:21:12I'm just trying to head off a disaster.

0:21:12 > 0:21:13You know, you've seen these couples-

0:21:13 > 0:21:15there's a big guy, six foot 7,

0:21:15 > 0:21:17and a itty bitty girl, four feet 11.

0:21:17 > 0:21:19How do they get along?

0:21:19 > 0:21:21She doesn't even know if he likes music,

0:21:21 > 0:21:23and she doesn't know if he likes books.

0:21:23 > 0:21:26Maybe they get married to find out.

0:21:27 > 0:21:31Well, I know about all I'm likely to find out tonight.

0:21:31 > 0:21:33Goodnight.

0:21:45 > 0:21:47CLICK

0:21:52 > 0:21:53Goodnight.

0:21:53 > 0:21:55Goodnight.

0:21:54 > 0:21:56Take care of yourself.

0:22:02 > 0:22:04You know...

0:22:04 > 0:22:06you have very nice legs.

0:22:06 > 0:22:08Aren't you sweet?

0:22:08 > 0:22:10Nice nylon stockings, too.

0:22:10 > 0:22:12What holds your stockings up?

0:22:12 > 0:22:15There's a lot your mother should have told you.

0:22:15 > 0:22:18I didn't ask my mother.

0:22:18 > 0:22:20I asked you.

0:22:20 > 0:22:23It's, er... simply a matter of scientific research.

0:22:23 > 0:22:25Hadn't we said goodnight

0:22:25 > 0:22:28before you got interested in my nylons?

0:22:28 > 0:22:31I can't remember when I wasn't interested.

0:22:31 > 0:22:34Don't you ever wait for anything to be offered?

0:22:34 > 0:22:38OK, I'm open to an offer.

0:22:38 > 0:22:40OK...

0:22:40 > 0:22:43if it will get rid of you.

0:22:50 > 0:22:53I should have a permit.

0:22:52 > 0:22:54To kiss me?

0:22:54 > 0:22:57Hmm! An explorer's permit.

0:22:57 > 0:23:00Do explorers have to have permits?

0:23:00 > 0:23:01They should have, especially when

0:23:01 > 0:23:04they're headed for uncharted territory.

0:23:06 > 0:23:08Oh, forgive me, angel.

0:23:08 > 0:23:11I know not what I say.

0:23:11 > 0:23:14Goodnight, drunk.

0:23:26 > 0:23:28Oh, may I use your telephone?

0:23:28 > 0:23:29How did you get in here?

0:23:29 > 0:23:32Temper, temper.

0:23:35 > 0:23:37RINGING

0:23:39 > 0:23:41Kyne Enterprises.

0:23:41 > 0:23:42Oh, yeah, Mr Mobley.

0:23:42 > 0:23:45Oh, get Gerald Meade for me.

0:23:46 > 0:23:49Get him out of bed - anybody's bed.

0:23:49 > 0:23:51Mr Mobley, you're real George.

0:23:55 > 0:23:57Gerald...

0:23:57 > 0:23:59that Felton girl who was murdered -

0:23:59 > 0:24:02did she have a button lock on her door?

0:24:02 > 0:24:03Yeah.

0:24:03 > 0:24:06Why are you so interested?

0:24:06 > 0:24:08Oh, I'm an employee of the society

0:24:08 > 0:24:11for the protection of virtuous maidens.

0:24:13 > 0:24:16You ought to get a chain lock on that door.

0:24:17 > 0:24:19Aw...

0:24:19 > 0:24:21Nancy's mad.

0:24:21 > 0:24:23Too mad to offer a drink?

0:24:23 > 0:24:26If you want one, fix it yourself.

0:24:31 > 0:24:33You're darn right Nancy's mad!

0:24:33 > 0:24:36Well, that's a fine way for my future bride to be.

0:24:36 > 0:24:38Oh, you don't want a bride.

0:24:38 > 0:24:40What you want is an illiterate common-law woman.

0:24:40 > 0:24:43Fix you a drink?

0:24:43 > 0:24:45No, I don't want to get drunk with you.

0:24:46 > 0:24:49Something else you'd prefer?

0:24:49 > 0:24:52That Mildred Donner is more your type. Try her.

0:24:52 > 0:24:55Don't you sit there and tell me who's my type.

0:24:57 > 0:24:59Du verstehst?

0:25:03 > 0:25:05You're my type.

0:25:07 > 0:25:10Hey, let me tell you just a little bit more.

0:25:10 > 0:25:14Ed loves Nancy very dearly...

0:25:14 > 0:25:16very much.

0:25:16 > 0:25:19Ed wants to marry Nancy.

0:25:19 > 0:25:21You only say that when you've had a few.

0:25:21 > 0:25:24Want me to put it in writing?

0:25:27 > 0:25:29How convenient.

0:25:29 > 0:25:32The great reporter has no pencil.

0:25:32 > 0:25:33And a darn good reporter, too.

0:25:33 > 0:25:36And a darn good man...

0:25:37 > 0:25:39A man with great kindness -

0:25:39 > 0:25:42maybe too much, because it dampens ambition.

0:25:42 > 0:25:44Ambition?

0:25:44 > 0:25:46If you mean by that,

0:25:46 > 0:25:48I should join the race, uh-uh.

0:25:48 > 0:25:49You watch, Nancy.

0:25:49 > 0:25:52They'll all break down - all three of them.

0:25:52 > 0:25:53Maybe one won't.

0:25:53 > 0:25:55Which one?

0:25:54 > 0:25:57The reporter-editor of The Sentinel,

0:25:57 > 0:26:00but, still at heart, a reporter...

0:26:00 > 0:26:03the one who offered me nothing for myself -

0:26:03 > 0:26:06a good offer - the offer of a friend.

0:26:06 > 0:26:08Then don't you think you ought to help him?

0:26:08 > 0:26:09Nobody ever helped me.

0:26:09 > 0:26:11Now, you know that isn't true!

0:26:11 > 0:26:13Amos Kyne did and Griffith would...

0:26:13 > 0:26:16and I would.

0:26:16 > 0:26:18I'd do anything you asked me.

0:26:18 > 0:26:22You better stick to your friend. He's your type.

0:26:23 > 0:26:25You're my type.

0:26:35 > 0:26:39Shall we phone my mother and father?

0:26:39 > 0:26:40And ask them if you should marry

0:26:40 > 0:26:43a reporter without a pencil?

0:26:43 > 0:26:46To tell them I'm going to.

0:26:47 > 0:26:49Oh, what do you know!

0:26:56 > 0:26:58TELEPHONE RINGS

0:27:00 > 0:27:02Is that your boss calling?

0:27:02 > 0:27:05Does he usually call AT 3.00 in the morning?

0:27:05 > 0:27:06Every night.

0:27:06 > 0:27:08Hello?

0:27:09 > 0:27:10Yes.

0:27:10 > 0:27:11Just a moment.

0:27:11 > 0:27:13It's for you.

0:27:15 > 0:27:16Yes?

0:27:16 > 0:27:18Listen, Ed,

0:27:18 > 0:27:21you're a real good pal of Lieutenant Kaufman's, aren't you?

0:27:21 > 0:27:24Burt? We went to the same school together,

0:27:23 > 0:27:26fought together, dated Janice behind

0:27:26 > 0:27:29the saxophones in her father's hockshop. Why?

0:27:29 > 0:27:32They've got somebody, Ed.

0:27:31 > 0:27:33..Who? How would I know?

0:27:33 > 0:27:35Donald Duck!

0:27:35 > 0:27:37The cops won't say,

0:27:37 > 0:27:39but Kaufman will meet you at headquarters.

0:27:39 > 0:27:42Congratulate me, Jon.

0:27:43 > 0:27:44I'm engaged.

0:27:44 > 0:27:47What do I care, you're engaged!

0:27:49 > 0:27:52Now, do me a favour, please, and get over there!

0:27:52 > 0:27:54What?

0:27:54 > 0:27:56I already sent Meade,

0:27:56 > 0:27:58and where do you think I located him?

0:27:58 > 0:28:01In Loving's apartment.

0:28:01 > 0:28:03Ed, stick with me!

0:28:03 > 0:28:06But it's morning, so it's Tuesday- my day off!

0:28:06 > 0:28:09Are you my friend or not?

0:28:10 > 0:28:11All right.

0:28:11 > 0:28:14I'll handle it just this one time, but that's all.

0:28:15 > 0:28:18All right, I said all right!

0:28:17 > 0:28:19Ask me, all things considered,

0:28:19 > 0:28:21it's just as well.

0:28:30 > 0:28:33Hey, what are they doin' in there?

0:28:33 > 0:28:34Maybe some photographs,

0:28:34 > 0:28:37maybe they're questioning already.

0:28:43 > 0:28:46Ltn. Kaufman is expecting me - Ed Mobley.

0:28:47 > 0:28:48Hi, Gerald.

0:28:48 > 0:28:49Hiya.

0:28:49 > 0:28:52Hello, Burt.

0:28:52 > 0:28:55Where were you?

0:28:55 > 0:28:57Getting engaged.

0:28:57 > 0:28:59No fooling.

0:28:59 > 0:29:01No fooling.

0:29:00 > 0:29:03Poor Nancy.

0:29:03 > 0:29:05Who have they got, Burt?

0:29:05 > 0:29:07The janitor of the girl's building,

0:29:07 > 0:29:09but you can't use it before a general release.

0:29:09 > 0:29:10He's in questioning.

0:29:10 > 0:29:12Any chance of having a listen?

0:29:12 > 0:29:14Under the same conditions. Agreed?

0:29:14 > 0:29:15Sure.

0:29:33 > 0:29:35MAN: 'She was killed with your wrench.'

0:29:35 > 0:29:36Why do you lie to us, Pilsky?

0:29:36 > 0:29:38I don't lie.

0:29:38 > 0:29:40Yes, you do.

0:29:40 > 0:29:41You told us that you went

0:29:41 > 0:29:46to Judith Felton's apartment at 9.00 and found her dead.

0:29:46 > 0:29:47But the people at the drugstore tell us

0:29:47 > 0:29:50that a package was delivered to Judith Felton's at 8.00,

0:29:50 > 0:29:52that you opened the door and took the package.

0:29:52 > 0:29:54Is that right?

0:29:56 > 0:29:59Yes... I lied.

0:29:59 > 0:30:02I-I was frightened.

0:30:01 > 0:30:03Then you do admit

0:30:03 > 0:30:05that you were in the Felton apartment at 8.00.

0:30:05 > 0:30:08Y-y-yes. But I don't kill!

0:30:08 > 0:30:11I leave her when she take bath.

0:30:10 > 0:30:14When I come back, I find her dead.

0:30:18 > 0:30:21If you went away and came back, George,

0:30:21 > 0:30:23how did you get into her apartment?

0:30:23 > 0:30:25I use pass key.

0:30:25 > 0:30:27The door was locked, then, huh?

0:30:27 > 0:30:29Yes.

0:30:29 > 0:30:31Did anyone else in the building have a pass key?

0:30:31 > 0:30:33No.

0:30:33 > 0:30:35Are you trying to tell us

0:30:35 > 0:30:37that somebody walked through a locked door

0:30:37 > 0:30:38and killed Miss Felton?

0:30:38 > 0:30:41I tell truth.

0:30:42 > 0:30:45I don't kill her. I find her dead.

0:30:47 > 0:30:49All right, Pilsky.

0:30:49 > 0:30:51We're gonna start all over from the beginning.

0:30:51 > 0:30:52Hmmm!

0:30:52 > 0:30:54Sun's coming up.

0:30:54 > 0:30:56Not for that old boy.

0:30:56 > 0:30:58He didn't do it. You know he didn't.

0:30:58 > 0:30:59Four days and no results.

0:30:59 > 0:31:02Somebody had to be hauled in for the howling public.

0:31:02 > 0:31:05Or the crime commission.

0:31:05 > 0:31:08But you'll let him go before the day's over.

0:31:08 > 0:31:09What makes you so sure?

0:31:09 > 0:31:14The evidence against him is just too pat to be true.

0:31:14 > 0:31:16Use your phone?

0:31:16 > 0:31:18Not for publication.

0:31:32 > 0:31:33Hello?

0:31:33 > 0:31:34Ed?

0:31:35 > 0:31:37Yeah.

0:31:37 > 0:31:38The janitor.

0:31:38 > 0:31:39If that old boy did it,

0:31:39 > 0:31:42I'll sit on the hot seat for him.

0:31:42 > 0:31:46Keep Meade on it. I'm gonna go home and get some sleep.

0:32:01 > 0:32:02Your pin-ups?

0:32:02 > 0:32:04Yeah.

0:32:04 > 0:32:06All very murdered.

0:32:06 > 0:32:08I was just looking for possible points

0:32:08 > 0:32:10of comparison with this Felton case.

0:32:10 > 0:32:12Look for a young guy, Burt.

0:32:12 > 0:32:13Now you're guessing.

0:32:15 > 0:32:16Pre-meditated murder

0:32:16 > 0:32:18by a psycho, and not his first.

0:32:18 > 0:32:20He didn't leave any fingerprints.

0:32:20 > 0:32:22So he wore gloves.

0:32:22 > 0:32:24Anyone who leaves fingerprints nowadays,

0:32:24 > 0:32:27even on his first homicide, can't even read!

0:32:26 > 0:32:29You know how much stuff is written and published

0:32:29 > 0:32:31for the instruction of potential lawbreakers?

0:32:31 > 0:32:33Take the so-called comic books.

0:32:33 > 0:32:36Sold to kids of all ages, in drugstores and...

0:32:40 > 0:32:41Why do you say this killer is young?

0:32:41 > 0:32:43The lipstick bit.

0:32:43 > 0:32:45There's nothing new about that. Several years ago...

0:32:45 > 0:32:47I know, I know.

0:32:47 > 0:32:50What was it? "Catch me, I can't control myself"?

0:32:50 > 0:32:53This one only changed the lyrics. "Ask Mother."

0:32:53 > 0:32:56He's a mama's boy unless I'm mistaken.

0:32:56 > 0:32:59Well, the message may have been a blind.

0:32:59 > 0:33:01I think it's an impertinence.

0:33:00 > 0:33:03He's laughing at the police by leaving clues

0:33:03 > 0:33:05but no fingerprints.

0:33:05 > 0:33:06Keep on talking.

0:33:06 > 0:33:09In the old days, before you were above writing about crime,

0:33:09 > 0:33:12you and I used to be pretty good together.

0:33:12 > 0:33:15What do you think of the dresser drawers found open?

0:33:15 > 0:33:18We searched the janitor's room. We didn't find anything.

0:33:18 > 0:33:20Of course, we don't know that anything was stolen.

0:33:42 > 0:33:43Oh?

0:33:43 > 0:33:44Do we have any lipstick?

0:33:44 > 0:33:45Lipstick?

0:33:45 > 0:33:46This joker's much too clever

0:33:46 > 0:33:48ever to leave lipstick again, Burt.

0:33:53 > 0:33:54She got her hands in his hair.

0:33:54 > 0:33:55We took a couple strands

0:33:55 > 0:33:56from underneath her fingernails.

0:33:56 > 0:33:57That's good.

0:34:02 > 0:34:03Anything?

0:34:03 > 0:34:05No, he must have used gloves.

0:34:14 > 0:34:16He left the book here deliberately,

0:34:16 > 0:34:18to laugh at you, Burt.

0:34:18 > 0:34:20And every time, he'll leave a different clue.

0:34:24 > 0:34:25Look, Sergeant,

0:34:25 > 0:34:27I've been here over nine hours and all I've got

0:34:27 > 0:34:29is what every other reporter in town has,

0:34:29 > 0:34:32a general release on the Felton murder.

0:34:33 > 0:34:35Tim,

0:34:35 > 0:34:39you and I have been friends for a long time.

0:34:39 > 0:34:41I need something special,

0:34:41 > 0:34:42something for myself.

0:34:42 > 0:34:46Is this case any good against Pilsky?

0:34:45 > 0:34:47Mm-hmm. Pretty good.

0:34:47 > 0:34:50Be specific, Tim. I won't forget you.

0:34:50 > 0:34:54Well,

0:34:54 > 0:34:57if I was to tell you why we picked Pilsky up...

0:34:57 > 0:35:01Yeah, why, why?

0:35:00 > 0:35:04You wouldn't say where you got it, promise?

0:35:03 > 0:35:05Promise.

0:35:05 > 0:35:07Well, Pilsky's fingerprints

0:35:07 > 0:35:09are on the murder weapon.

0:35:09 > 0:35:10Oh, thanks, Tim.

0:35:10 > 0:35:12You won't regret it.

0:35:12 > 0:35:13Aah!

0:35:13 > 0:35:16Wait.

0:35:16 > 0:35:18Wait till I'm out of the office.

0:35:32 > 0:35:34Mark Loving, sister, quick.

0:35:38 > 0:35:42Mark? I've got the inside dope on the Felton case.

0:35:42 > 0:35:45What?

0:35:45 > 0:35:47Great work, Gerald!

0:35:47 > 0:35:48That's great. Hold the line.

0:35:51 > 0:35:53Phone in to Walter Kyne

0:35:53 > 0:35:55that I've cracked the lipstick case.

0:35:57 > 0:36:02Joe, Gerald Meade's on my line, take it.

0:36:02 > 0:36:07Give me the call on Mr Loving's line.

0:36:10 > 0:36:12Don't give it to the copy desk,

0:36:12 > 0:36:14feed it directly to the wire.

0:36:18 > 0:36:19Tom!

0:36:23 > 0:36:25Good morning.

0:36:25 > 0:36:26'Morning, Mark.

0:36:26 > 0:36:28Want to make a bet?

0:36:28 > 0:36:30On what?

0:36:29 > 0:36:31On me.

0:36:31 > 0:36:33Hold it, Jim. >

0:36:35 > 0:36:36Cal, who sent it?

0:36:36 > 0:36:37Washington.

0:36:37 > 0:36:39Break them. Give this four bells.

0:36:41 > 0:36:42Mark.

0:36:42 > 0:36:43Can I believe this?

0:36:43 > 0:36:44You cracked the lipstick case.

0:36:44 > 0:36:46Ha ha! I certainly did!

0:37:01 > 0:37:04We've got a scoop on the biggest story in the country.

0:37:04 > 0:37:05Did this go over the wire?

0:37:05 > 0:37:06For God's sake!

0:37:06 > 0:37:09Oh, I'll be...

0:37:09 > 0:37:11Mark's killing it.

0:37:11 > 0:37:13Killing it? What's the matter with him?

0:37:19 > 0:37:20DING

0:37:20 > 0:37:22That idiot Meade.

0:37:22 > 0:37:24What's the matter with you?

0:37:24 > 0:37:25Wasn't he quoting a cop?

0:37:25 > 0:37:27Nothing a cop says outside a courtroom is privileged.

0:37:27 > 0:37:29What do you mean by that?

0:37:29 > 0:37:30Anything you repeat,

0:37:30 > 0:37:31no matter from what source,

0:37:31 > 0:37:33if it doesn't sit under oath,

0:37:33 > 0:37:34you'd better stand on it yourself.

0:37:34 > 0:37:35What do you mean?

0:37:35 > 0:37:36He means if the old man didn't kill her,

0:37:36 > 0:37:38it's libel.

0:37:39 > 0:37:40Libel!

0:37:41 > 0:37:42You could be sued.

0:37:42 > 0:37:44Any newspaper that uses your wire service

0:37:44 > 0:37:45could be sued.

0:37:45 > 0:37:47Well, what kind of a wire service are you running, anyway?

0:37:47 > 0:37:49I killed it, didn't I?

0:37:49 > 0:37:52You two don't have to quote me the law of libel!

0:37:52 > 0:37:54Of course not, Walter.

0:38:22 > 0:38:25You missed something, Ed.

0:38:25 > 0:38:28Meade almost scuttled Loving.

0:38:28 > 0:38:29Look...

0:38:29 > 0:38:31Read that copy, Jon.

0:38:31 > 0:38:33Huh? Ha ha!

0:38:39 > 0:38:40Sensational.

0:38:40 > 0:38:42Can you substantiate?

0:38:42 > 0:38:44Nope.

0:38:44 > 0:38:45May be a pipe dream.

0:38:45 > 0:38:48But if it is, Kaufman and I are smoking together.

0:38:48 > 0:38:50In any case, I'm going on the air with it in five minutes.

0:38:50 > 0:38:53Hold it for the paper, Ed.

0:38:53 > 0:38:55Let me hit the street with it by 7.00.

0:38:55 > 0:38:59Use it in your night show.

0:38:59 > 0:39:01Is that what you want?

0:39:00 > 0:39:04I want to get the job, that's the idea.

0:39:03 > 0:39:05And to get the job,

0:39:05 > 0:39:07I'll stick a knife in anybody I have to.

0:39:07 > 0:39:10Oh, I know, I know!

0:39:10 > 0:39:12If I had any ethics left,

0:39:12 > 0:39:18I'd give it to Loving for his wire.

0:39:19 > 0:39:23OK, OK. I'll take it to him myself.

0:39:30 > 0:39:34Don't call yourself my boy, Meade! You're through!

0:39:34 > 0:39:36Meade, you're through.

0:39:36 > 0:39:38When you killed that bulletin,

0:39:38 > 0:39:39you promised your clients a new lead.

0:39:39 > 0:39:41I think that will do it.

0:39:43 > 0:39:44Great Scot!

0:39:44 > 0:39:45You got one-minute lead

0:39:45 > 0:39:47on Mobley's telecast.

0:39:50 > 0:39:52That boyfriend of yours who set out to help me,

0:39:52 > 0:39:55he just put your boss a mile out in front.

0:40:02 > 0:40:03DING DING

0:40:03 > 0:40:04TV BUZZES

0:40:04 > 0:40:06'Mr Walter Kyne presents

0:40:06 > 0:40:08'the distinguished author, columnist,

0:40:08 > 0:40:11'and Pulitzer prize-winner Edward Mobley

0:40:11 > 0:40:15'in his perceptive analysis of the day's news... '

0:40:15 > 0:40:16It's already on the wire. Wait till you hear.

0:40:16 > 0:40:17Ladies and gentlemen,

0:40:17 > 0:40:20at approximately 3am this morning, in our city,

0:40:20 > 0:40:24one human being took the life of another.

0:40:24 > 0:40:27In our world, acts of violence are not rare.

0:40:27 > 0:40:29And so my excuse,

0:40:29 > 0:40:30or, I should say, my reason,

0:40:30 > 0:40:33for giving importance to this particular story,

0:40:32 > 0:40:36is my hope that the killer may be listening to me.

0:40:36 > 0:40:39For I believe that in his progress to the chair

0:40:39 > 0:40:42or to the insane asylum

0:40:42 > 0:40:44that he has reached a way station,

0:40:44 > 0:40:48where his sick and warped ego demands to be fed

0:40:48 > 0:40:51with the milk of self-importance.

0:40:51 > 0:40:54And so, with the consent of a very good friend of mine,

0:40:54 > 0:40:57who is by way of being a remarkable criminologist,

0:40:57 > 0:40:59but who has also asked that his name not be credited,

0:40:59 > 0:41:03I'm going to say a few things to the killer,

0:41:03 > 0:41:04face to face.

0:41:04 > 0:41:05Item one -

0:41:05 > 0:41:06Mr Unknown,

0:41:06 > 0:41:10you will not for very long remain unknown.

0:41:10 > 0:41:11Item two -

0:41:11 > 0:41:14you're husky.

0:41:14 > 0:41:17Strong enough to have choked to death this morning

0:41:17 > 0:41:21a poor schoolteacher by the name of Laura Kelly.

0:41:21 > 0:41:22Item three -

0:41:22 > 0:41:26you are the same killer

0:41:26 > 0:41:29who, last week, bludgeoned to death

0:41:29 > 0:41:32a girl by the name of Judith Felton.

0:41:32 > 0:41:35You are the Lipstick Killer.

0:41:35 > 0:41:36Item four -

0:41:36 > 0:41:40you read the so-called comic books.

0:41:40 > 0:41:41Item five -

0:41:41 > 0:41:43you have dark brown hair.

0:41:43 > 0:41:45A few strands of your hair were found

0:41:45 > 0:41:47beneath the fingernails of your latest victim.

0:41:47 > 0:41:48Item six -

0:41:48 > 0:41:50you're young.

0:41:50 > 0:41:52A crime lab examination of your hair reveals

0:41:52 > 0:41:55that you're approximately 20 years of age.

0:41:55 > 0:41:57Item seven -

0:41:57 > 0:41:59you're a mama's boy.

0:41:59 > 0:42:02Item eight -

0:42:02 > 0:42:03the normal feeling of love

0:42:03 > 0:42:05that you should have toward your mother

0:42:05 > 0:42:08has been twisted into hatred, for her...

0:42:08 > 0:42:10KNOCKING ON DOOR

0:42:10 > 0:42:12..and all of her sex.

0:42:12 > 0:42:13Item nine...

0:42:14 > 0:42:16< May I come in, dear?

0:42:20 > 0:42:23I heard the television, so I knew you were up.

0:42:23 > 0:42:25It must have been about 4.00

0:42:25 > 0:42:26when I heard you come in this morning.

0:42:26 > 0:42:28I don't like working so late.

0:42:28 > 0:42:30Oh, I know.

0:42:30 > 0:42:32I know how it is with my boy -

0:42:32 > 0:42:35studying all day, working all night,

0:42:34 > 0:42:37and I know how difficult it has been for you

0:42:37 > 0:42:40ever since your father left us.

0:42:40 > 0:42:42He's not my father!

0:42:42 > 0:42:44And you're not my mother.

0:42:44 > 0:42:46Robert, don't say that.

0:42:46 > 0:42:49Why not? It's true, isn't it?

0:42:48 > 0:42:51When you adopted me, you wanted a girl, didn't you?

0:42:51 > 0:42:53And he wanted a boy!

0:42:53 > 0:42:54Neither one of you was satisfied, were you?

0:42:54 > 0:42:58I remember once when I was eight years old -

0:42:58 > 0:42:59eight years old!

0:42:59 > 0:43:02I was helping you dust the house,

0:43:02 > 0:43:05and that woman from across the street came over and said,

0:43:05 > 0:43:07"My, my."

0:43:07 > 0:43:09And you said, "Yes, I know.

0:43:09 > 0:43:12"He's exactly like a little girl, isn't he?"

0:43:12 > 0:43:14But, Robert, you are my son

0:43:14 > 0:43:16and my daughter

0:43:16 > 0:43:19and all the children I ever wished I could have had.

0:43:19 > 0:43:21Don't you love your mother?

0:43:28 > 0:43:32Shall I show you how much I love my mother?

0:43:36 > 0:43:39Oh, I have such a good boy!

0:43:39 > 0:43:40Now I'll bring your breakfast.

0:43:40 > 0:43:42You must be awfully hungry.

0:43:51 > 0:43:54And so, with this most happy news

0:43:54 > 0:43:56about my personal life,

0:43:56 > 0:43:59I close until I visit with you again

0:43:59 > 0:44:01at 11.00 tonight.

0:44:01 > 0:44:02In the meantime,

0:44:02 > 0:44:06for any further developments in the case of the Lipstick Killer,

0:44:06 > 0:44:09read The Sentinel, which hits your newsstands

0:44:08 > 0:44:12with its first edition at 7.00 this evening.

0:44:12 > 0:44:15GRIFFITH: Did he really get Nancy's OK on this thing?

0:44:15 > 0:44:17He must have.

0:44:17 > 0:44:19KAUFMAN: Here, he's bringing her.

0:44:18 > 0:44:20Hi.

0:44:20 > 0:44:21Burt, it's good to see you.

0:44:21 > 0:44:22Hello, Burt.

0:44:22 > 0:44:23Nancy. Jon.

0:44:23 > 0:44:25Tonight, we celebrate.

0:44:25 > 0:44:27Thanks, Jon. It's worth getting engaged.

0:44:27 > 0:44:28That was a pretty flossy

0:44:28 > 0:44:30telecast your boy did.

0:44:30 > 0:44:31Now we've got to get ready for the next step.

0:44:31 > 0:44:33What do you mean?

0:44:33 > 0:44:35Haven't you talked this over with Nancy?

0:44:35 > 0:44:37The next step is to the altar.

0:44:37 > 0:44:39I'm talking it over with her now.

0:44:39 > 0:44:42Nancy, you got the idea of my telecast,

0:44:42 > 0:44:43to insult the killer.

0:44:43 > 0:44:45Yes.

0:44:45 > 0:44:50He'll get mad at me and anybody I like.

0:44:49 > 0:44:52And if I know his maniacal mind,

0:44:52 > 0:44:54sooner or later, he'll come out,

0:44:54 > 0:44:56after the bait.

0:44:56 > 0:44:57Well...

0:45:01 > 0:45:03What bait?

0:45:04 > 0:45:07Ha! Some nice girl,

0:45:07 > 0:45:10like the other two.

0:45:10 > 0:45:11Who?

0:45:11 > 0:45:17Ha ha! A nice girl with a button lock on her door.

0:45:21 > 0:45:23You mean someone named Nancy.

0:45:23 > 0:45:28Ahem! Nancy, you see that man in the dark suit

0:45:28 > 0:45:30sitting over at the bar?

0:45:30 > 0:45:32His name is Mike O'Leary.

0:45:32 > 0:45:36He's a plain clothes man from Burt's department.

0:45:36 > 0:45:38From now on, he'll be your shadow.

0:45:38 > 0:45:40He'll take you to the Red Cross tonight,

0:45:40 > 0:45:42and then home to your room,

0:45:42 > 0:45:44and make sure the door is locked.

0:45:44 > 0:45:46Mornings, you won't leave

0:45:46 > 0:45:49until he's there to go with you, wherever you go.

0:45:49 > 0:45:52You'll be safer than you've ever been in your life before.

0:45:54 > 0:45:56That's the kind of guy you're going to marry.

0:45:56 > 0:45:58I like the kind of guy I'm going to marry.

0:45:58 > 0:46:00I told him last night

0:46:00 > 0:46:01I'd do anything for him.

0:46:01 > 0:46:03I won't let him down.

0:46:03 > 0:46:05All right, darling, I'll do it.

0:46:05 > 0:46:07Let's keep it in the family!

0:46:07 > 0:46:09I was pretty sure you'd say yes,

0:46:09 > 0:46:10but it's a good thing

0:46:10 > 0:46:12you did say yes,

0:46:12 > 0:46:13because the announcement

0:46:13 > 0:46:15of our engagement

0:46:15 > 0:46:17is already in the paper.

0:46:31 > 0:46:34What do you know? Nancy engaged to Ed Mobley.

0:46:34 > 0:46:37That nice little secretary of yours, darling.

0:46:37 > 0:46:38Hmm.

0:46:38 > 0:46:40I wonder what she's got.

0:46:40 > 0:46:42Well, apparently she's got Mobley.

0:46:42 > 0:46:44No, I mean to attract a man.

0:46:44 > 0:46:45Oh, forget them, love. I'm worried.

0:46:45 > 0:46:48About the job? What else?

0:46:48 > 0:46:50Kyne worries me.

0:46:50 > 0:46:53He was humiliated today in front of everyone,

0:46:53 > 0:46:54and it's my fault.

0:46:54 > 0:46:57You made up for it with the scoop on Mobley on his own telecast.

0:46:57 > 0:46:59Let me tell you the facts of life.

0:46:59 > 0:47:01That break was an accident of timing.

0:47:01 > 0:47:04If only I had Mobley in my corner.

0:47:04 > 0:47:06He knows the right people.

0:47:06 > 0:47:08Don't you? Oh, sure.

0:47:08 > 0:47:10I know the head waiter of the Stork,

0:47:10 > 0:47:11and the Colonnier, and 21,

0:47:11 > 0:47:12and I know the fellow at the dog show,

0:47:12 > 0:47:14and the fellow at the dog show

0:47:14 > 0:47:15knows the fellow at the horse show,

0:47:15 > 0:47:17and the fellow at the horse show

0:47:17 > 0:47:18knows the people at the Waldorf,

0:47:18 > 0:47:20and the people at the Waldorf know me,

0:47:20 > 0:47:21but Mobley knows the right cops.

0:47:21 > 0:47:23Well, Mark, talk to him.

0:47:23 > 0:47:25It might do a great deal of harm

0:47:25 > 0:47:28if he rats about it to Griffith.

0:47:31 > 0:47:32Dear heart.

0:47:32 > 0:47:34You want me to have this job, don't you?

0:47:34 > 0:47:36You don't have to ask that.

0:47:36 > 0:47:38Then go to Mobley for me.

0:47:39 > 0:47:40What? You.

0:47:40 > 0:47:43You know him much better than I do.

0:47:43 > 0:47:45You could tell him about me.

0:47:45 > 0:47:47He'd listen to you.

0:47:47 > 0:47:48I've seen him look at you.

0:47:48 > 0:47:51You've seen him look at me, huh?

0:47:51 > 0:47:53Those eyes of his.

0:47:53 > 0:47:55Have you ever noticed those eyes?

0:47:55 > 0:47:59Oh, yes. Ha! Yes, I've noticed them.

0:47:59 > 0:48:00Ha ha!

0:48:00 > 0:48:02Might be fun.

0:48:02 > 0:48:05That's my baby.

0:48:05 > 0:48:07Well, all right. I know what to say,

0:48:07 > 0:48:10but how far do I have to go to get it said?

0:48:10 > 0:48:12Mildred, we're adults.

0:48:12 > 0:48:14I love you very completely.

0:48:14 > 0:48:16Anything you might do for me

0:48:16 > 0:48:18will make me love you all the more.

0:48:18 > 0:48:19Thank you!

0:48:19 > 0:48:22And I love you, too, Mark.

0:48:30 > 0:48:34And I certainly hope that you and Miss Liggett will be very happy.

0:48:34 > 0:48:36I thank you, Carlo.

0:48:38 > 0:48:39What day is this?

0:48:39 > 0:48:41Still Tuesday.

0:48:41 > 0:48:44Ha! My day off. The rest is killing me.

0:48:44 > 0:48:45Nancy's night at the Red Cross.

0:48:45 > 0:48:47I could sure use some first aid.

0:48:49 > 0:48:50FOOTSTEPS

0:48:54 > 0:48:55Hello.

0:48:55 > 0:48:57Hello, hello!

0:48:59 > 0:49:01Want to buy me a drink?

0:49:01 > 0:49:02Carlo?

0:49:02 > 0:49:03Yes, sir.

0:49:03 > 0:49:04Champagne cocktail, brandy float.

0:49:04 > 0:49:06Yes, ma'am.

0:49:06 > 0:49:07Going someplace?

0:49:07 > 0:49:08No.

0:49:08 > 0:49:09Well, you're all dressed up.

0:49:09 > 0:49:11Like it?

0:49:11 > 0:49:12Very much.

0:49:12 > 0:49:13Well, thank you.

0:49:13 > 0:49:15No, I don't think I'm going anywhere,

0:49:15 > 0:49:17now that I've found you down here.

0:49:17 > 0:49:19Oh, well!

0:49:19 > 0:49:20Sometimes I'm in a mood

0:49:20 > 0:49:22where I love to speak my mind.

0:49:22 > 0:49:23Tonight's one of those times.

0:49:23 > 0:49:25All right?

0:49:24 > 0:49:26Sure, it's all right.

0:49:26 > 0:49:28I think it's spectacular.

0:49:28 > 0:49:30You're a pretty spectacular guy.

0:49:30 > 0:49:32Believe me, I've known a couple.

0:49:32 > 0:49:34Skol.

0:49:37 > 0:49:40Where's your gentleman friend?

0:49:40 > 0:49:42Where's your lady friend?

0:49:42 > 0:49:44Cigarette?

0:50:07 > 0:50:08Hee hee!

0:50:08 > 0:50:10Pretty?

0:50:10 > 0:50:12Mmmmm.

0:50:14 > 0:50:15Would I like?

0:50:15 > 0:50:16Mmmmm.

0:50:16 > 0:50:20Aah. You can see it all later.

0:50:20 > 0:50:21Oh, come on...

0:50:21 > 0:50:22No, no, no! I said later!

0:50:37 > 0:50:40Aa-aa-ah, I said later.

0:50:40 > 0:50:41Another drink, please.

0:50:41 > 0:50:43Yes, ma'am.

0:50:43 > 0:50:45One for Mr Mobley, too.

0:50:46 > 0:50:50You know, Mark was terribly upset by that libel business.

0:50:50 > 0:50:52Don't worry, Mildred.

0:50:52 > 0:50:53Your man may get in yet.

0:50:53 > 0:50:56Darling, I wish you wouldn't keep calling him "my man."

0:50:56 > 0:50:59Well, he's certainly not mine.

0:50:59 > 0:51:03Why don't you come clean and confess?

0:51:03 > 0:51:04He sent you here.

0:51:04 > 0:51:06All right. He sent me.

0:51:06 > 0:51:07But I hope it isn't going to spoil things,

0:51:07 > 0:51:09cos I wanted to come.

0:51:09 > 0:51:10Quite a messenger.

0:51:10 > 0:51:13Ohhh, you men! You're all polygamists.

0:51:13 > 0:51:14You, too, Mobley.

0:51:14 > 0:51:16Faithful as the day is long.

0:51:16 > 0:51:18Mmm, if it's the shortest day in the year.

0:51:18 > 0:51:20But where would women like me be

0:51:20 > 0:51:22if it wasn't for men like you?

0:51:22 > 0:51:24If I take another drink tonight,

0:51:24 > 0:51:28I'll fall flat on my face.

0:51:28 > 0:51:29Skol.

0:51:32 > 0:51:33Where's Mrs Kyne?

0:51:33 > 0:51:35She had to go to her mother's, sir.

0:51:35 > 0:51:38Again?

0:51:38 > 0:51:41Well, anyway...

0:51:41 > 0:51:44tonight I wouldn't trade places with anyone.

0:51:44 > 0:51:48Look at that. A doll of a front page.

0:51:48 > 0:51:50Best front page in the city.

0:51:50 > 0:51:52That's very nice, sir.

0:51:54 > 0:51:57But I need a right-hand man.

0:51:57 > 0:52:01Today I made an ass of myself.

0:52:01 > 0:52:03Who shall it be?

0:52:06 > 0:52:08Loving?

0:52:10 > 0:52:11Or Griffith?

0:52:14 > 0:52:15Kritzer?

0:52:16 > 0:52:18Mr Loving...

0:52:18 > 0:52:20a conniver.

0:52:20 > 0:52:23Well, every business needs a conniver.

0:52:23 > 0:52:25That Griffith.

0:52:25 > 0:52:28A doll of a front page.

0:52:28 > 0:52:30Harry Kritzer?

0:52:32 > 0:52:35But which is your best, Walter?

0:52:35 > 0:52:39Your b-e-s-t.

0:52:39 > 0:52:41TELEPHONE RINGS

0:52:43 > 0:52:46Mr Walter Kyne's residence.

0:52:48 > 0:52:51It's Mrs Kyne, sir.

0:52:51 > 0:52:52Hello.

0:52:52 > 0:52:55Hello, darling.

0:52:56 > 0:52:59I'm still at Mother's.

0:53:03 > 0:53:05Oh, what's the matter, Walter?

0:53:05 > 0:53:07Every once in a while, I'd like to come home

0:53:07 > 0:53:09and find you here, that's all.

0:53:11 > 0:53:13I thought your mother didn't have a telephone.

0:53:13 > 0:53:15I came down to the drug store especially.

0:53:19 > 0:53:21I bought a copy of the final edition.

0:53:21 > 0:53:23It's wonderful!

0:53:23 > 0:53:25I thought Harry's artwork was marvelous.

0:53:25 > 0:53:28All right, all right, I like it.

0:53:27 > 0:53:31Now, how soon can you get here?

0:53:30 > 0:53:32Then I'll have Steven meet you

0:53:32 > 0:53:34at the door in his BVDs. Ha ha!

0:53:36 > 0:53:39OK. Me, then!

0:53:41 > 0:53:43Well! He swallowed it.

0:53:43 > 0:53:45The question is, even for Walter,

0:53:45 > 0:53:47how long will he?

0:53:47 > 0:53:49Long enough, let's hope.

0:53:49 > 0:53:51How long is long enough?

0:53:51 > 0:53:53Long enough for me to get the job.

0:53:53 > 0:53:54What else?

0:53:54 > 0:53:56For me to get you the job.

0:53:56 > 0:54:00That's what you mean, isn't it, darling?

0:54:00 > 0:54:01However you want to put it,

0:54:01 > 0:54:03let's not fail.

0:54:09 > 0:54:10And then?

0:54:10 > 0:54:12And then?

0:54:12 > 0:54:14What are you in this for, Harry?

0:54:14 > 0:54:17Is getting the big job like the satisfaction

0:54:17 > 0:54:19of having the big man's wife?

0:54:19 > 0:54:21What's gotten into you?

0:54:23 > 0:54:27And what am I in it for?

0:54:27 > 0:54:29If you're just a pastime, sweet,

0:54:29 > 0:54:31oh, you're a very risky one.

0:54:35 > 0:54:39With all I have, what is it I want?

0:54:43 > 0:54:48Only the pleasure of paying back the man who bought me

0:54:48 > 0:54:51by giving his most prized possession to someone else?

0:54:51 > 0:54:54What are you driving at, Dorothy?

0:54:54 > 0:54:57Just this.

0:54:57 > 0:55:01If I make my husband give you the big prize,

0:55:01 > 0:55:04you won't be Walter's man, you'll be mine.

0:55:04 > 0:55:07And you'll do as I say,

0:55:07 > 0:55:08and you won't forget that.

0:55:08 > 0:55:10Ever.

0:55:12 > 0:55:13OK, kitten,

0:55:13 > 0:55:15if you want to imagine yourself

0:55:15 > 0:55:16as Lady Macbeth or someone...

0:55:16 > 0:55:19You just think about that, darling,

0:55:19 > 0:55:24because I can always still change my mind.

0:55:31 > 0:55:34OK, kitten.

0:55:35 > 0:55:37We'll think...

0:55:39 > 0:55:41and think...

0:55:45 > 0:55:47and think.

0:55:50 > 0:55:51Mmm.

0:55:51 > 0:55:52I told him I'd come right home.

0:55:52 > 0:55:54Uh-uh.

0:55:54 > 0:55:57Don't you want me to do my utmost in your behalf?

0:55:57 > 0:55:59DOORBELL BUZZES

0:56:02 > 0:56:03Oh, it's probably the drugstore.

0:56:03 > 0:56:05That was the last bottle of Scotch.

0:56:16 > 0:56:18The drugstore.

0:56:19 > 0:56:21One moment, please.

0:56:44 > 0:56:45Keep the change.

0:58:09 > 0:58:11DOORBELL BUZZES

0:59:27 > 0:59:32Carlo. Carlo, we are discussing romance, you know?

0:59:32 > 0:59:34Of course, I gather we are at the stage of discussing it

0:59:34 > 0:59:35in rather general terms.

0:59:35 > 0:59:37Well, it's something to think about.

0:59:37 > 0:59:39You see, Carlo, there is also

0:59:39 > 0:59:42a physical side to love,

0:59:42 > 0:59:46and some women are more demanding than others...

0:59:46 > 0:59:49and some automobiles are blue.

0:59:49 > 0:59:51Oh, darling, look.

0:59:51 > 0:59:54Of course, I want mark to prosper.

0:59:54 > 0:59:56I want him to be happy, I want him to get the job,

0:59:56 > 0:59:58but if you should ask me if it's love,

0:59:58 > 1:00:02I would simply have to say I just don't know.

1:00:02 > 1:00:04So, when do you expect to find out?

1:00:04 > 1:00:06Mm, maybe an hour or so, hmm?

1:00:06 > 1:00:09Carlo's going to have a busy night.

1:00:09 > 1:00:11Just Carlo?

1:00:11 > 1:00:14Oh, Ed, look, am I attractive to you?

1:00:14 > 1:00:17I'm in no condition...

1:00:17 > 1:00:25but objectively speaking, I would say yes...very.

1:00:25 > 1:00:26Come on to my place.

1:00:26 > 1:00:31I would also say that I am a poisonous, black-souled,

1:00:31 > 1:00:34weak-kneed so-and-so.

1:00:34 > 1:00:36So, all right. Your cigarettes.

1:00:36 > 1:00:38Thank you.

1:00:47 > 1:00:50Oh, I'm sorry, very sorry.

1:00:57 > 1:00:59That's the, er, famous Ed Mobley, isn't it?

1:00:59 > 1:01:03Well, he's something less than famous tonight.

1:01:03 > 1:01:06The, er, woman he's with - they're engaged, huh?

1:01:06 > 1:01:08What's her name? Liggett, or something.

1:01:08 > 1:01:09No, that's somebody quite different.

1:01:12 > 1:01:14Oh, I hate kissing in taxis.

1:01:14 > 1:01:16You do?

1:01:16 > 1:01:18It's much more fun at home.

1:01:18 > 1:01:20Didn't realise you graded things like that.

1:01:20 > 1:01:23Sure you do.

1:01:23 > 1:01:25Your hands are cold.

1:01:25 > 1:01:28Madame, I'm blasted.

1:01:28 > 1:01:33The movement of this cab is slightly inimical to me.

1:01:33 > 1:01:38The fact that I can say "inimical" proves just how drunk I am.

1:01:38 > 1:01:43Oh, darling, I'm not just doing this for Mark, believe me.

1:01:44 > 1:01:47And not out of any sense of honesty or principle

1:01:47 > 1:01:50or faithfulness to the bride-to-be.

1:01:50 > 1:01:52I have to tell you this.

1:01:52 > 1:01:58I didn't get any sleep last night and darn little the night before,

1:01:58 > 1:02:02and on top of everything else, I'm getting sick.

1:02:02 > 1:02:06I'm human, and human beings get sick.

1:02:06 > 1:02:12Oh. I'll make you some coffee when we get home. I make marvelous coffee.

1:02:14 > 1:02:17I wonder what the nice people are doing tonight.

1:02:38 > 1:02:40Did Mildred tell you, too?

1:02:40 > 1:02:42Mildred's told everybody.

1:03:11 > 1:03:14You ought to feel pretty good today.

1:03:15 > 1:03:17Your telecast was picked up by nearly

1:03:17 > 1:03:19every paper in the country.

1:03:19 > 1:03:23Of course, if this whole idea of provoking the killer doesn't pan out,

1:03:23 > 1:03:26you and I are going to be way out on a limb.

1:03:26 > 1:03:27My limb got sawed off.

1:03:29 > 1:03:31GRIFFITH: How is Mildred?

1:03:33 > 1:03:36Everybody knows my business.

1:03:36 > 1:03:37Nancy, too?

1:03:37 > 1:03:39I called her in the middle of the night.

1:03:39 > 1:03:41Mm-hmm. You wanted her to be the first to know.

1:03:41 > 1:03:44I wanted her to hear it from me.

1:03:43 > 1:03:46Everybody around here has heard it from Mildred.

1:03:46 > 1:03:48Oh?

1:03:48 > 1:03:53She says now she knows you won the Pulitzer prize for writing.

1:03:53 > 1:03:55It's not the way it was at all.

1:03:55 > 1:03:59If I'm going to be hung, don't hang me for a sheep.

1:03:59 > 1:04:02Come to Papa and confess.

1:04:05 > 1:04:09I'm going to check with the accounting department for this.

1:04:09 > 1:04:13TELEPHONE RINGS

1:04:13 > 1:04:15Mr Loving's office.

1:04:15 > 1:04:17I'm getting pretty sick of your unreasonable attitude.

1:04:23 > 1:04:25Heh heh heh heh heh heh!

1:04:25 > 1:04:28Walter Kyne will fall off his chair.

1:04:30 > 1:04:32Congratulations, Mr Loving.

1:04:32 > 1:04:34Thank you, my dear. Make three copies of it.

1:04:48 > 1:04:49Send copies to Griffith and to Kritzer.

1:04:49 > 1:04:52I'll show the original to Walter Kyne, myself.

1:05:04 > 1:05:07TELEPHONE RINGS

1:05:07 > 1:05:09To Mr Griffith and Mr Kritzer.

1:05:09 > 1:05:11OK.

1:05:11 > 1:05:14Mr Loving's office.

1:05:24 > 1:05:25Walter Kyne's not in. Try him at home.

1:05:27 > 1:05:32Listen - "M. Loving, Kyne Enterprises, New York, New York.

1:05:32 > 1:05:37"Dear Mark, your scoop on Mobley's sensational telecast was the clincher.

1:05:37 > 1:05:41"You may regard the Midwest Television deal as closed.

1:05:41 > 1:05:43"Congratulations. Joe."

1:05:43 > 1:05:44You're kidding.

1:05:44 > 1:05:47That's what you get for being honest.

1:05:48 > 1:05:50Where is Mobley?

1:05:50 > 1:05:52I saw him go out a little while ago.

1:05:53 > 1:05:57Try Mobley at the Dell. If he isn't there, find him.

1:06:04 > 1:06:07Operator, is the Kyne residence still busy?

1:06:07 > 1:06:10He would be.

1:06:10 > 1:06:12Well, I'm glad you're pleased, Walter. Very glad.

1:06:12 > 1:06:16Fine. Fine, Mark. Yeah.

1:06:15 > 1:06:18Yeah, we'll talk about it when I come down to the office.

1:06:18 > 1:06:20Right.

1:06:43 > 1:06:45Oh.

1:06:45 > 1:06:47What is it, dear?

1:06:47 > 1:06:51Ah, I'll tell you later.

1:06:51 > 1:06:54Something worries my boy?

1:06:53 > 1:06:56It's that darn race I started.

1:06:56 > 1:06:59Oh, that.

1:07:01 > 1:07:06Come over here, darling. You're so far away.

1:07:06 > 1:07:08I wish I could help you.

1:07:08 > 1:07:09Don't you worry your...

1:07:09 > 1:07:13Empty little head. Fix my back, huh...

1:07:14 > 1:07:17and tell me your troubles.

1:07:17 > 1:07:19Are you sorry you started it?

1:07:19 > 1:07:24Of course not. I just don't want to make a mistake.

1:07:24 > 1:07:25You won't.

1:07:25 > 1:07:28That was Mark Loving on the phone.

1:07:28 > 1:07:30He brought in the big Midwest deal.

1:07:30 > 1:07:33It's worth half a million if it's worth a penny.

1:07:33 > 1:07:36Just when I'd begun to favour Griffith,

1:07:35 > 1:07:38much as I personally dislike him.

1:07:38 > 1:07:42Don't tell me you've narrowed it down to just those two.

1:07:42 > 1:07:46Ah, they're whaling away, but it's the third one that worries me the most.

1:07:46 > 1:07:48Did I hurt you?

1:07:47 > 1:07:52No, darling. Nobody has such hands.

1:07:52 > 1:07:53How do you know?

1:07:53 > 1:07:56Well, certainly not from experience.

1:07:56 > 1:07:58That I'd bet on.

1:07:58 > 1:08:00Harry worries you?

1:08:00 > 1:08:01Doesn't he want the job?

1:08:01 > 1:08:04He's doing nothing. He's just going on, doing his work.

1:08:04 > 1:08:06Well, maybe it's just as well.

1:08:06 > 1:08:08I'd more or less ruled him out.

1:08:08 > 1:08:10Oh, I wouldn't do that.

1:08:12 > 1:08:15I mean, angel...

1:08:15 > 1:08:19Well, now, isn't that exactly the faithful kind of man you want?

1:08:19 > 1:08:21Did Harry write that speech for you?

1:08:21 > 1:08:23You got a crush on this guy?

1:08:23 > 1:08:24Did I tell you to invite him?

1:08:24 > 1:08:26You're the one that brings him around.

1:08:26 > 1:08:28Oh, I'm kidding, of course.

1:08:28 > 1:08:29TELEPHONE RINGS

1:08:29 > 1:08:33Oh, I'll get it. Your hands are oily.

1:08:33 > 1:08:34Funny thought, though -

1:08:34 > 1:08:37that duck-legged so-and-so Kritzer.

1:08:37 > 1:08:39If the reason he doesn't seem to be fighting like the others

1:08:39 > 1:08:42is because he's working on me through you.

1:08:41 > 1:08:44Oh, too funny for words.

1:08:44 > 1:08:47If that's the office, I'm staying here until late afternoon.

1:08:47 > 1:08:48Hello?

1:08:48 > 1:08:53Dorothy, the roof's falling in down here. I've got to see you.

1:08:53 > 1:09:00Why, Mary, darling. How nice, but I can't.

1:08:59 > 1:09:03Walter's staying home with me today.

1:09:03 > 1:09:06Oh, I'd love to go to the fashion show,

1:09:06 > 1:09:10but Walter won't be going to the office till late afternoon.

1:09:10 > 1:09:14Get away. Use the old excuse. Everything depends on it.

1:09:14 > 1:09:18I know I promised, and it would be divine, but...

1:09:18 > 1:09:22Call me in an hour or so, huh? Bye.

1:09:22 > 1:09:25I wouldn't mind too much, if it would be fun for you.

1:09:25 > 1:09:26Oh, you don't want me to leave you

1:09:26 > 1:09:30for a silly old fashion show, do you?

1:09:30 > 1:09:31Buy things I shouldn't have.

1:09:31 > 1:09:36Oh, go ahead, dear. I like you to have nice things. I insist.

1:09:38 > 1:09:40Well, darling, when you put it that way...

1:09:40 > 1:09:43if you insist, of course I'll do it.

1:09:53 > 1:09:56Haven't you located Mobley yet?

1:09:56 > 1:09:59Try Lt. Kaufman. Maybe he'll know.

1:10:04 > 1:10:06NO SOUND

1:10:08 > 1:10:12NO SOUND

1:10:14 > 1:10:16The whole thing was a snide scheme.

1:10:16 > 1:10:20You made Burt call me for lunch just so you could get at me.

1:10:20 > 1:10:22Nancy...

1:10:22 > 1:10:27Look, I may be a snide, doubled in spades, but I didn't...

1:10:27 > 1:10:30MOBLEY: There comes Burt, now.

1:10:32 > 1:10:33Hello.

1:10:33 > 1:10:34Hello.

1:10:34 > 1:10:36Hello.

1:10:36 > 1:10:37Lover's spat?

1:10:37 > 1:10:39Eh, she just called me a dirty name,

1:10:39 > 1:10:42and not in a very admiring tone of voice.

1:10:42 > 1:10:44Ahh. Eddie was a bad boy, huh?

1:10:44 > 1:10:46In a taxi cab.

1:10:46 > 1:10:48I told you I got sick and went home.

1:10:48 > 1:10:50Ask him what he was doing there in the first place.

1:10:50 > 1:10:52All right.

1:10:52 > 1:10:53What were you doing there in the first place?

1:10:53 > 1:10:55I was seduced.

1:10:55 > 1:10:57Loving sicked his dame on me.

1:10:57 > 1:10:59I had a few drinks with her, let her kiss me,

1:10:59 > 1:11:01told her "no" on Mark Loving,

1:11:01 > 1:11:03and dropped her off in front of her hotel.

1:11:03 > 1:11:05I didn't even go up for a cup of coffee,

1:11:05 > 1:11:07invited though I was.

1:11:07 > 1:11:09Another time.

1:11:10 > 1:11:11Yes, sir?

1:11:11 > 1:11:12Brandy.

1:11:12 > 1:11:14And a hemlock for me.

1:11:17 > 1:11:19Burt, it's not what he did or didn't do.

1:11:19 > 1:11:21He just doesn't know how to say no.

1:11:21 > 1:11:23The night we got engaged, I told him he didn't mean it.

1:11:23 > 1:11:24He said I was crazy.

1:11:24 > 1:11:28The next thing I know, he's caressing Mildred Donner in a common carrier.

1:11:28 > 1:11:31If he wants to marry me, why does he have to do that?

1:11:31 > 1:11:33Stop the world and let me off.

1:11:33 > 1:11:35Work your beef out later, children.

1:11:35 > 1:11:36Let's get down to business.

1:11:36 > 1:11:38Now, what I've got to say is strictly

1:11:38 > 1:11:39over this table, all right?

1:11:39 > 1:11:40Sure.

1:11:40 > 1:11:44OK. The two murders and maybe some before...

1:11:44 > 1:11:47Were not committed by the same man.

1:11:47 > 1:11:49They were.

1:11:50 > 1:11:52We went back into the Felton girl's place

1:11:52 > 1:11:53and found a strand of hair,

1:11:53 > 1:11:55which matches the hair from a second murder.

1:11:55 > 1:11:57Well, what's the big secret?

1:11:57 > 1:12:00I got more for you, equally confidential.

1:12:00 > 1:12:03Everything is confidential,

1:12:03 > 1:12:05except me and Mildred.

1:12:05 > 1:12:07Now, listen.

1:12:08 > 1:12:11We've run onto the record of a string of unsolved burglaries,

1:12:11 > 1:12:14committed months ago.

1:12:14 > 1:12:16We think that's the way this boy may have started.

1:12:16 > 1:12:21He steals only ladies' things, from lone, unprotected girls.

1:12:21 > 1:12:23This guy's a real nut on dames.

1:12:23 > 1:12:26And this description begins to fit Mobley.

1:12:30 > 1:12:32Now, Burt, I know our next move.

1:12:32 > 1:12:34Put Nancy's picture in the paper or...

1:12:34 > 1:12:35or use her on the telecast.

1:12:35 > 1:12:37Oh, no, you don't. Print Mildred's picture. Use her.

1:12:37 > 1:12:39Where are you going?

1:12:38 > 1:12:40Out of your life!

1:13:15 > 1:13:18I'm so much in love with her, it aches.

1:13:18 > 1:13:20Well, she's loved you, too. She's treated you right.

1:13:20 > 1:13:22But I didn't do anything.

1:13:22 > 1:13:24You figure if you're drunk, it doesn't count, huh?

1:13:24 > 1:13:27I only kissed her.

1:13:27 > 1:13:30The way I just heard it, she kissed you.

1:13:30 > 1:13:32A few more times around, this is going to be a pretty lively story.

1:13:32 > 1:13:34But I didn't do anything!

1:13:34 > 1:13:35The next time, you will.

1:13:35 > 1:13:37Oh, there won't be a next time.

1:13:37 > 1:13:39Well, tell Nancy that.

1:13:39 > 1:13:41Yeah, tell Nancy.

1:13:41 > 1:13:42For you, Mr Mobley.

1:13:42 > 1:13:46Aha! She made it just as far as the first telephone booth.

1:13:46 > 1:13:47Strong woman.

1:13:48 > 1:13:52Honey, I graciously accept your apology.

1:13:51 > 1:13:55GRIFFITH: Don't honey me, miserable character!

1:13:55 > 1:13:59Now Mark Loving is being congratulated from Tokyo to Timbuktu!

1:13:59 > 1:14:01Only a miracle can help me now.

1:14:01 > 1:14:04And you dillydallying in a haunt of pleasure.

1:14:04 > 1:14:06Somebody has to have some fun.

1:14:10 > 1:14:11That was Griffith.

1:14:14 > 1:14:18Burt, let's think.

1:14:18 > 1:14:26His crimes have become more and more frequent... more violent, bolder.

1:14:26 > 1:14:29He's got to have a new element in them now, something, uh...

1:14:29 > 1:14:30What do you mean?

1:14:30 > 1:14:33Well, something daring.

1:14:32 > 1:14:35Every murder he committed has always been at night?

1:14:35 > 1:14:37Yeah.

1:14:38 > 1:14:39Then, maybe...

1:14:39 > 1:14:41What?

1:14:41 > 1:14:44The next one will be in cold daylight.

1:14:44 > 1:14:45You think, er...

1:14:45 > 1:14:49yeah, that figures. The final insolence - broad daylight.

1:14:49 > 1:14:52You mean, something that will satisfy his urge to kill,

1:14:52 > 1:14:54but at the same time, increase his excitement, huh?

1:14:54 > 1:14:58Burt! Maybe to kill even while she's guarded.

1:15:11 > 1:15:13Are you going to be in for the next hour, Miss Liggett?

1:15:13 > 1:15:15All day.

1:15:15 > 1:15:17I'll get some lights down at the corner.

1:15:17 > 1:15:18The phone number's written on this card.

1:15:18 > 1:15:20You change your mind, be sure and let me know.

1:15:20 > 1:15:22I promise.

1:16:10 > 1:16:12Who is it?

1:16:12 > 1:16:14Ed.

1:21:14 > 1:21:16This phone hasn't stopped ringing.

1:21:16 > 1:21:19I never knew I had so many friends.

1:21:19 > 1:21:22Of course, it doesn't necessarily mean the big thing.

1:21:22 > 1:21:24At least, that's not official.

1:21:25 > 1:21:26PHONE RINGS

1:21:27 > 1:21:29Well?

1:21:29 > 1:21:30We got him, Jon.

1:21:30 > 1:21:32We've really got him!

1:21:32 > 1:21:34Are we ahead of the other papers?

1:21:34 > 1:21:37Absolutely alone. An hour, maybe more.

1:21:37 > 1:21:39Kaufman's got him here now, in a precinct station.

1:21:39 > 1:21:40He's questioning him in the next room.

1:21:40 > 1:21:43If it gets on the police ticket,

1:21:43 > 1:21:44it will be in every newsroom in town.

1:21:44 > 1:21:46Don't worry, Jon.

1:21:46 > 1:21:48It will get on as an ordinary precinct arrest,

1:21:48 > 1:21:49man molesting a woman.

1:21:49 > 1:21:51Happens every day.

1:21:51 > 1:21:53No paper will bother to pick that up.

1:21:53 > 1:21:54Everything worked.

1:21:54 > 1:21:55This guy knocked on Nancy's door.

1:21:55 > 1:21:57She wouldn't open it,

1:21:57 > 1:21:59so he went after another woman on the same floor.

1:21:59 > 1:22:00We got it from O'Leary.

1:22:00 > 1:22:01We're two hours away from deadline.

1:22:01 > 1:22:03Have you got enough to go with now?

1:22:03 > 1:22:05Yes. I've got murder, Jon.

1:22:05 > 1:22:07The Kelly girl and the Felton girl

1:22:07 > 1:22:09and at least two more before then.

1:22:10 > 1:22:12How are you going to handle it?

1:22:12 > 1:22:14Extra! What do you think I'd do?

1:22:14 > 1:22:16And I don't want any boy scout talk

1:22:16 > 1:22:18about Loving and wire service or anything else.

1:22:18 > 1:22:21Anybody who's going to read this will read it in The Sentinel.

1:22:21 > 1:22:23Hold on. I'll give it to Healey.

1:22:23 > 1:22:24Jim! Jim!

1:22:24 > 1:22:26Jim!

1:22:26 > 1:22:28Healey! Healey! Jim!

1:22:31 > 1:22:34Take this right here. Make it quick.

1:22:42 > 1:22:45I want the front page down to the fold.

1:23:11 > 1:23:13First run, 20,000.

1:23:14 > 1:23:16Jon? What about pictures?

1:23:16 > 1:23:18We don't need pictures.

1:23:18 > 1:23:20Kritzer doesn't have to know anything about this.

1:23:20 > 1:23:22Mrs Kyne, please.
