0:01:21 > 0:01:27- Never mind, bud, I'm just waiting for someone.- Yes, sir. Would you mind pulling ahead a little?- OK.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01- Hey, d'you know anything about that dive in there?- No.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04I just saw you talking to the doorman.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07I'm talking to you but I don't know you.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11What I mean is, I only went into the place once...buddy.
0:02:12 > 0:02:18- Did you ever know of a girl named Velma in there?- Brother, if she's your girl, I don't want to know her.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23I just asked you a civil question.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27All right. So I never met a girl by that name.
0:02:29 > 0:02:34She worked in the place that used to be here five years ago. I ain't seen her for five years.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Five years is a long time.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Yeah, it is.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42She promised to wait for me, and she is, someplace.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44You don't know Velma.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46No. No, I don't know Velma.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56And it'll be healthier for the both of us if we never meet.
0:02:59 > 0:03:05Just a moment, sir. Club rules - evening clothes only... Sorry, sir, you can't go in there.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12< WOMAN SINGS: # The first time I saw you
0:03:12 > 0:03:15# I knew at a glance
0:03:15 > 0:03:18# I was meant to be yours
0:03:18 > 0:03:21# Yours alone
0:03:22 > 0:03:25# As I stood before you
0:03:25 > 0:03:28# My heart seemed to dance... #
0:03:28 > 0:03:32- Looking for somebody? - Yeah. Velma, does she work here?
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Velma? There's no Velma around here.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38< # ..As I look in your eyes I am thrilled... #
0:03:38 > 0:03:42- I'm sorry, but we d...- Where's the boss's office? Maybe he can tell me.
0:03:42 > 0:03:47- Sorry, the doorman should've explained. We don't admit...- Where's the boss's office?- Back there.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50But you won't be able see Mr Montgomery.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52WOMEN SCREAM
0:04:07 > 0:04:09TWO GUNSHOTS
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- No, you don't...!- Get going, pal!
0:04:23 > 0:04:24Yes, sir.
0:04:29 > 0:04:35- I want to get out alive, but did you eliminate some competition back there?- What makes you think so?
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Skip it. I ain't curious.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42- You'll live longer.- I guess I'd better drop you now. I got a date.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48- You wouldn't want it with an angel, would you?- No, sir.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51- Then keep on driving.- Yes, sir.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59All right, break it up, break it up! Come on.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01- Allow me.- Oh, thanks.
0:05:02 > 0:05:07The great Falcon! Haven't seen you in half a dozen murders. What're you doing here?
0:05:07 > 0:05:13- Just what I was going to ask you. - I ain't nightclubbing.- Mind if I join you?- I certainly would!- Thanks.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18- Reg, check everybody in the place. - Why, chief?
0:05:18 > 0:05:23There's been a murder committed. I'd like to find out something about it. Do you mind(?)
0:05:23 > 0:05:28- Not at all, chief. - Thought you gave up amateur detecting and dames since you got engaged.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32- My fiancee's out of town. I have time.- Why, Homer Bilkie! I didn't think you'd show!
0:05:32 > 0:05:37- You don't know Homer(!) - Madam, I think you must be mistaken. My name is, er, Dittenfriss.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46- Fingerprints?- They're checking on it downtown.- What d'you say, Doc?
0:05:46 > 0:05:48- Broken neck.- What?- He's right.
0:05:48 > 0:05:54- You mean he wasn't shot?- I'd say he was held by the shoulders and shaken so hard his neck was broken.
0:05:54 > 0:05:59- You can't do that!- You can argue that with the corpse. Good day, gentlemen.- Cheerio.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04- I got all the dope, boss.- OK, give. - I get it from the bartender.
0:06:04 > 0:06:10- A palooka comes in, asks for a dame, Velma. They ask him to go - he ain't dressed proper. Know what?- What?
0:06:10 > 0:06:16- He throws the head waiter across the room.- Starts back here... - Dames scream...- Manager hears it.
0:06:16 > 0:06:21- Goes to the door, sees the guy... - Runs back to the desk...- For a Rosco. Takes aim.- Fires.- Twice.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24- Like you can see, he missed. - Too bad.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28"Will the police apprehend the killer? Tune in tomorrow at 6.50"(!)
0:06:28 > 0:06:33- Go on, gimme the rest of it!- The killer goes to work, lams in double time, hops in a car and powders.
0:06:33 > 0:06:38- He must've had an accomplice waiting in that car. - Oh, that's a great deduction...(!)
0:06:38 > 0:06:40PHONE RINGS Get that.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43- ..I might even say brilliant. - ..Grimes talkin'... OK.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Fingerprint bureau for you.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48O'Hara.
0:06:49 > 0:06:50Yeah.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55OK, put out a general radio alarm for him.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59Fingerprints check with a Moose Malloy. Doing a 20-year stretch for manslaughter.
0:06:59 > 0:07:04- Broke out last week still owing the state 15 years. - How ungracious of him.
0:07:04 > 0:07:09Ex-wrestler, 6'5", 265lb without his necktie. Just a cute little fella(!)
0:07:09 > 0:07:13Go on, boys, turn that crowd loose. We'll pick this mug up in an hour.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17I'll have your badge for this, flatfoot! I'll tell O'Hara!
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Break it up! Break it up!
0:07:19 > 0:07:23Well, if it isn't Jonathan G Locke, the mastermind stooge.
0:07:23 > 0:07:28- Oh, you, I should've known you'd be behind this miscarriage of injustice. I'll sue you!- Shut up.
0:07:28 > 0:07:33- What is it?- This mug drove the getaway car.- Yeah?- He's off his beat!- It's him. The doorman saw him.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37- "Moose Malloy must've had an accomplice"(?) - Will you guys quit clowning?
0:07:37 > 0:07:40If I was an accomplice, would I drive back into your arms?
0:07:40 > 0:07:42I was out front waiting for the Falcon.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45This man mountain comes over and says something about a dame.
0:07:45 > 0:07:50I don't know him from nothing. So he goes... Oh. He did it, huh?
0:07:50 > 0:07:56- No, this guy got tired, so we told him to take a nap(!) Go ahead.- The mountain runs out, jumps in the car.
0:07:56 > 0:08:01- He grabs me - I'm in a bear trap - and he says, "Get going!"- Did he have a rod?- He didn't flash one.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05- So you obeyed an unarmed stranger? - I obeyed what had me by the neck.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08A gun ain't the only way of killing people. How did HE get it?
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Broken neck.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Didn't I tell you?
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Yeah. Now tell me where you took him.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Why, I...
0:08:17 > 0:08:23- I-I just drove him around till he said he'd get out.- Where? - About 10 blocks over. The subway.
0:08:23 > 0:08:28Oh, you just let him out, did you? Just like that? Did he give you a tip?
0:08:28 > 0:08:33- He told me to keep my trap shut so he wouldn't have to shut it.- So you were going to meet Goldy, here -
0:08:33 > 0:08:39- nobody else, Mr...Dittenfriss?- It seems pretty routine, O'Hara. I'd do better at a movie. C'mon, Goldy.
0:08:39 > 0:08:44- Huh?- Sure, go ahead. With your puss, the boys can pick you up any time I want you.- Wise guy!
0:08:49 > 0:08:53- Camera-shy, Goldy?- Yeah, me and my neck want to be in-mag-neto.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57- Are you Gay Lawrence, "the Falcon"? - Guilty.- You're interested in this?
0:08:57 > 0:09:02- It's coincidence that I was here. - Didn't you say that before you broke the Gordon murder ring?
0:09:02 > 0:09:06- This time it's true, boys. O'Hara's on his own. - What a break for crime!
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Why did you lie to O'Hara?
0:09:10 > 0:09:16- Well, I didn't, I tell you. - Goldy...! Where did you really take the killer?
0:09:16 > 0:09:1917 Washington Avenue, over in Brooklyn.
0:09:19 > 0:09:24- Near a graveyard so he wouldn't have to carry the bodies too far. - You even wanted to keep it from me.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28- Why?- The Moose said he'd mangle me. And he's strictly the mangling type.
0:09:28 > 0:09:33- This could get you into trouble with O'Hara.- Not the kinda trouble I'd get in with the Moose.
0:09:33 > 0:09:38Anyways, we're in the brokerage business, remember? You swore off dames and crimes.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40This case seems especially interesting.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43I should know better.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47- Where are we going? - 17 Washington Avenue, Brooklyn.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49OK.
0:09:49 > 0:09:54- Wait a minute! That's where I took...- Exactly.- But you can't do this!- We can if we're quick enough.
0:09:54 > 0:09:59- The guy ain't human! He's a mountain.- So, like Mohammed, we go to the mountain.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Is that the house?
0:10:04 > 0:10:08- That's where I took him.- Stay here and keep the engine running.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12- And be prepared for a quick start. - I don't even have to prepare!
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Better take this with you.

0:11:29 > 0:11:35- My name ain't Herman. - You can't fool me. You mean to say you're not Herman K Dittenfriss,

0:12:35 > 0:12:40- He's gone.- Maybe he forgot his hat. - Wait here. I'm going in to investigate.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46I should've become a fireman like my old lady wanted me to.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00..He'll kill me! You gotta protect me, do something.
0:13:00 > 0:13:05I've always taken care of you. You've had your money every week, as I promised.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09I didn't know Moose would bust outta stir! He'll kill me if he finds out.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13- Tell me what the Moose said.- He wants to know what happened to Velma.
0:13:13 > 0:13:19- He's coming back for information. And he says he'll strangle me if he don't get it.- We'll take care of him.
0:13:19 > 0:13:24When he comes back, tell him he can get the information he wants about her if he goes to...
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Yeah.

0:13:56 > 0:14:00I want to ask you some questions. I'm an investigator.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03- Just a moment.- Cops, huh?
0:14:03 > 0:14:06Well, you ain't got nothing on me, so come on in.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Well? What do you want?
0:14:21 > 0:14:24- A girl named Velma.- Velma?
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Yes, I...
0:14:26 > 0:14:30I thought I'd try and trace her for her folks. Here.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34You ain't no copper. No copper flashes a ten-spot. What's the gag, mister?
0:14:34 > 0:14:38- I only said I was an investigator. - Private creep, huh?
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Where's her folks at?
0:14:43 > 0:14:45What difference does that make?
0:14:45 > 0:14:47Huh!
0:14:47 > 0:14:49OK, all cops is the same.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53OK, handsome, when I like a guy the ceiling's the limit.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33Here. You'll find a picture of all the girls that worked at the club.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36- Pick her out.- What club?
0:15:37 > 0:15:42Mike's. Didn't you know my husband Mike Florian ran a club?
0:15:42 > 0:15:46- Where the Club 13 is now. - Which one of these is Velma?
0:15:46 > 0:15:51Didn't her folks give you a picture of her so's you'd know her?
0:15:51 > 0:15:53No, they didn't.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56Try to put something over on me, you dirty snoop!
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Get out of here before I bust your skull!
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Sit down.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11You're not dealing with a simple-minded lug like Moose Malloy.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15BOTTLE THUDS ON FLOOR What do you know about him?
0:16:15 > 0:16:17He killed a man tonight.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20Then the cops are after him? They'll get him, maybe?
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Maybe. Right now, what about Velma?
0:16:24 > 0:16:26I don't know.
0:16:26 > 0:16:33- She's dead, I think. - When did she die?- I don't know. Ain't telling you anything more.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Now get out of here. Get outta here, you dirty snoop!
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Very well, but I'll be back.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Get out! I'll kill you if you come back!
0:16:43 > 0:16:45- You'd better think it over. - GET OUT!
0:16:49 > 0:16:52Now you won't get your deposit back.
0:16:56 > 0:17:01I ain't curious about anything appertaining to the case, but what kept you back there?
0:17:01 > 0:17:04Charming old lady named Jessie Florian.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06- Is she alive?- Very much.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11Pull over to the kerb, driver, I want to buy a newspaper.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Paper! Paper!
0:17:13 > 0:17:14Thank you.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22"Gay Lawrence, sometimes known as the Falcon, amateur sleuth,
0:17:22 > 0:17:26"seen leaving Club 13 with his associate Jonathan "Goldy" Locke."
0:17:26 > 0:17:31That does it! Now I only have to find my pallbearers. Or maybe the Moose'll carry my coffin by himself.
0:17:31 > 0:17:36- Don't worry, Malloy's not looking for you.- He didn't look for Club 13's manager, and where's HE?
0:17:36 > 0:17:39- Where are we going?- Home.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42They ain't got our address in there, have they?
0:17:44 > 0:17:48- But we are listed in the phone book. - I'm going to take an ocean voyage!
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Goldy...
0:17:51 > 0:17:55- Good evening, gentlemen.- Hello. - Good evening, Jerry.- Sir.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59- Any messages? - Yes, a very pretty young lady called here twice to see you, sir.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03- I suppose you asked her to stay?- No, sir, I told her to go away.- What?
0:18:03 > 0:18:08- And that your fiancee was a female bullfighter from Mexico City... named Lupe.- Really?
0:18:08 > 0:18:11- And who told you to say that? - Your fiancee.- Oh.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13- That's fine.- Thank you, sir.
0:18:17 > 0:18:23- You don't think a pane of glass is going to stop him, do you?- No, but it will give me a running start.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25PHONE RINGS
0:18:25 > 0:18:30- That must be the young lady. Answer it, Goldy.- That's all we need, is some cookie to complicate things.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Listen, lady...!
0:18:33 > 0:18:35What? Who?
0:18:35 > 0:18:39- Guy named Marius.- Who's he? - How should I know?
0:18:39 > 0:18:40Hello?
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Yes.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45Yes, I'm available.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49All right, I'll be right over. Goodbye.
0:18:49 > 0:18:54- What gives? Who was that guy? - Lindsey W Marriot. - Never heard of him.- Nor have I.
0:18:54 > 0:18:59- What does he want? What are you going to use that gun for? - He wants a private detective.
0:18:59 > 0:19:05- All private detectives carry guns. - You ain't no private dick!- I am tonight.- Now where are you going?
0:19:05 > 0:19:11- To see Mr Marriot.- Are you crazy? What's this about?- I don't know, but I have a vague feeling
0:19:11 > 0:19:15it ties in with Moose Malloy. Take it easy Goldy. Sit down and relax.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19People who have the ability to relax live longer.
0:19:37 > 0:19:42- Well, there he goes. - I don't get it. Why don't we put the pinch on him now, chief?
0:19:42 > 0:19:48- In my dumb way, I've got kind of a cute idea. You don't mind, do you? - No, course not.- Thanks.
0:19:51 > 0:19:56Ow! Take it easy will you? Those cords are so tight, you could play a harp solo on 'em.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Yes, a lovely instrument.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03- DOOR BUZZER - Excuse me, sir.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Oh.
0:20:11 > 0:20:16- This is the first time in my life I was ever glad to see a copper. - We-ell, it's just a living.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19- Take a powder, you.- A what? - Beat it!
0:20:19 > 0:20:25- Of course.- ..Can I do something for you fellas?- Yeah. Why don't you tell us where your car is?
0:20:25 > 0:20:29The last time I seen it, it was parked out in front of the villa.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32You're a nice guy, Goldy.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36- Getting to like me?- You're a nice guy, but you're in trouble. - Look, O'Hara,
0:20:36 > 0:20:42- you ain't accusing me of being in cahoots with that murderer?! - Certainly not, nothing like that.
0:20:42 > 0:20:49All we want to know is how come we find Moose Malloy's fingerprints all over a car abandoned in Canossi?
0:20:49 > 0:20:52- How could I know that? - Maybe because it was your car.
0:20:52 > 0:20:58- We've got enough on you to send you up for a hundred years.- Might even make it life.- Unless you play ball.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02- State your proposition.- Now we're getting somewhere. We happen to know
0:21:02 > 0:21:07your boss is getting mixed up in this murder. We want to know where he goes and what he does.
0:21:07 > 0:21:14- You're on the wrong floor, mister! The rats is in the basement.- Oh, no, Goldy! I know you better than that.
0:21:15 > 0:21:20Look, this case ain't as simple as it seems. If it ain't handled right,
0:21:20 > 0:21:26it's liable to land you and me and your boss right in the middle of the East River in a concrete nightgown.
0:21:26 > 0:21:31- So?- So all I want you to do is to accept this little token of my esteem
0:21:31 > 0:21:37- and consider yourself my special confidential deputy.- It's still a stoolpigeon where I come from.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40OK, take a choice - sing or Sing Sing.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44Listen, O'Hara, you can't scare me, see? I know the law. You can't pin nothing on me
0:21:44 > 0:21:50- till you prove corpus delicious.- You got 24 hours to choose.- You'd let him get away with it like that?!- Yeah.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53- You don't mind, do you(?) - No, of course not, chief.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01I'm not at liberty to divulge too many details about this case.
0:22:01 > 0:22:06Sufficient for you to know that the job is simple, I'll pay you well, and the risk is small.
0:22:06 > 0:22:11- You'd better let me be the judge of that.- Very well. I'm meeting some men tonight to pay them some money.
0:22:11 > 0:22:18- I'd like to have someone with me. Do you carry a gun?- Yes, but I seldom shoot anybody. Is it blackmail?
0:22:18 > 0:22:23- I'm not in the habit of giving grounds for blackmail. - It happens to the nicest people.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27I'm meeting these men in a lonely place. I'm not much of a hero.
0:22:27 > 0:22:32- Do they know you?- I'm not sure. I'm acting for a friend. It's a large amount of money.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36- What for?- I told you I wasn't at liberty to go into that!
0:22:36 > 0:22:40I think you'd better get someone else.
0:22:40 > 0:22:47- I don't like your manner.- I can't say that I'm particularly intrigued by yours either. Good night.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Just a moment. I'll tell you all you need to know.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54A lady friend and I were held up on our way home from a nightclub.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57My loss was negligible but my friend's jewels were taken.
0:22:57 > 0:23:02- Have you ever heard of the Fue Tsui Jade? - Vaguely, yes. Practically priceless.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06The stolen necklace is worth perhaps 90,000 but it'd be hard to dispose of,
0:23:06 > 0:23:12so the thieves are selling it back to her through me. I'm warned not to call the police or the deal is off.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16- But I don't want to run the risk of a double-cross. - How did you know about me?
0:23:16 > 0:23:20- Your exploits have been rather well publicised.- Thank you.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22- You ready?- Yes, ready.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33- Rather a deserted bit of country, isn't it?- We're almost there.
0:23:33 > 0:23:38- You seem to know your way pretty well.- Their instructions were very explicit.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Restful spot(!)
0:23:55 > 0:23:58They're waiting for this over in that churchyard.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05- Coming? - You'd better go alone, I think.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09I think so too.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Just a moment. Better leave your gun here. They said to be unarmed.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39GUNSHOT
0:24:54 > 0:24:56GUNSHOT >
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Oh!
0:25:39 > 0:25:42I'm holding a ten-shot automatic and I can shoot!
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Eight-shot.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48Stay where you are! R-Reach for the sky or I'll let you have it.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51You'd better use both hands.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55You all right?
0:25:55 > 0:25:59Nobody ever got killed by a blank cartridge.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02- You mean it's full of blanks? - I should know - I loaded it.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08You ARE a good shot.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12- And lovely, too.- I didn't shoot him! I never shot anybody in my life.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15- I don't even have a gun. - You could've thrown the gun away.
0:26:15 > 0:26:21- But you didn't.- Oh, no, Mr Lawrence. - Who are you?- I guess I'd better tell you.- Yes, I think you'd better.
0:26:21 > 0:26:26- Well, you see, I'm a... I'm a newspaper reporter.- What paper?
0:26:27 > 0:26:32Well, none at the moment. But if I can crack this Malloy case, I could get a job on any paper in town.
0:26:32 > 0:26:37You see, I come from, well, Morgan, Minnesota, but I got a degree in journalism.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40What are you doing here?
0:26:40 > 0:26:46- Following you.- How do you know me? - I've heard about you, and your picture was in tonight's paper.
0:26:46 > 0:26:51- I tried to see you at your apartment but your boy wouldn't let me...- So you're the very pretty girl?- What?
0:26:51 > 0:26:54Oh, I'm sorry, just go on with your story.
0:26:54 > 0:27:00I decided the best way to crack this case was to follow the smartest man involved in it. So I did.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04- You believe me, don't you?- I like you, which is much more important.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51What did you put in your pocket?
0:27:51 > 0:27:56- Just a business card.- Look, I'm in this too.- I'll take care of you. Have you got a car?- Sort of one.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00- All right, let's go downtown and confess. Come on.- Confess?- Yup.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04- So you just happened to be driving by and heard the shots?- That's right.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07- Which gives you a pretty nice witness.- Never had a nicer.
0:28:07 > 0:28:13- Thank you, Mr Lawrence.- Am I in the way(?) Since when were you bodyguard for a playboy?- I just had a hunch.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15- Mind if I have one?- Help yourself.
0:28:15 > 0:28:21I'll tell you my hunch. There's something fishy about the whole story. Jade necklaces, bodyguards,
0:28:21 > 0:28:26- pretty dames who just happen to drive by cemeteries as murder takes place.- Michael!
0:28:26 > 0:28:28Yeah, and I got another hunch!
0:28:28 > 0:28:34You two can find better ways to stay out of trouble than poking your noses in police affairs. Now get out
0:28:34 > 0:28:39- and stay out of my hair.- Which...? - Which hair, OK, I know, I know!
0:28:39 > 0:28:44- Well, that's that.- This isn't the brush-off, is it?- Not socially, I hope. Just professionally.
0:28:44 > 0:28:50- Don't tell me you're quitting cos that snide old copper...- Why should I go on?- I thought we might...
0:28:50 > 0:28:54- Well, anyway, you have helped. I've got something to go on.- What?
0:28:54 > 0:28:59- The jade necklace. I'll go to every jeweller in town till I trace it. - Oh, forget it. I can get you a job.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01I get my own jobs. Goodbye.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04I tell you what, I'll make a bargain with you.
0:29:04 > 0:29:09- If you get any dope on that necklace, I'll follow through on the case.- You will?- It's a promise.
0:29:09 > 0:29:16- Don't wait to track it down before you call me.- I won't! It's wonderful of you to do this for me.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18ENGINE BACKFIRES
0:29:18 > 0:29:21It's just practising to be a tank!
0:29:27 > 0:29:32- I might've known you'd run into a dame. Dames and trouble - they go together with you.- I'm lucky.
0:29:32 > 0:29:38- Lucky? Suppose she tracks down that necklace!- She won't. There isn't a necklace. Just relax, Goldy,
0:29:38 > 0:29:45- and tell Jerry to get me a cup of coffee.- I'm relaxed so long as you keep us away from Moose Malloy.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48- Mr Lawrence will be very angry to hear about this.- I warn you, madam,
0:29:48 > 0:29:52female bullfighters are a particularly dangerous species of femininity.
0:29:52 > 0:29:58- Will you please tell Mr Lawrence I'm here?- I'll handle this, Jerry. Take a powder.- You mean "beat it"?- Yeah.
0:29:58 > 0:30:04- Yes, lady?- Is Mr Lawrence in?- He's on a round-the-world trip. He'll be back tomorr... I mean, next August.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06- I'm Anne Riordan.- Oh, OK.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09- Sit down.- Thank you.
0:30:09 > 0:30:14Look, sister, I don't know what your racket is, but his racket is the bond business
0:30:14 > 0:30:18and my racket is trying to keep him in it. Now, the boss is a pushover for a pretty face.
0:30:18 > 0:30:22He'll string you along and drop you like an old shoe. Why don't you...?
0:30:22 > 0:30:29- Good morning, Anne.- Hello.- Thanks for the build-up, Goldy.- I've got good news.- Fine, tell me about it.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32Well, I found out the jade necklace belongs to Diana Kenyon.
0:30:32 > 0:30:38- You mean to say there really is a jade necklace?- Of course there's a jade necklace! You... Oh, I see.
0:30:38 > 0:30:43- You thought it was a wild goose chase.- And who's the goose?- You can't back out. You promised.- I admit it.
0:30:43 > 0:30:47- Which is no surprise to me. - ..What about this Diana Kenyon?
0:30:47 > 0:30:52- Well, she's a big shot in cafe society, one of the most famous beauties, and...- A beauty, you say?
0:30:52 > 0:30:57- He's wondering why he don't know her.- And it IS worth 90,000 and... - Take this slower.- Well,
0:30:57 > 0:31:03- she runs around with this Marriot, but plays the field, if you get what I mean.- Oh, that's interesting.
0:31:03 > 0:31:07- It would be, to you. - I wonder how we can meet her.
0:31:07 > 0:31:12I arranged it. I'm to interview her about her necklace - for an article, she thinks. In half an hour, in fact.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14That's quick work. Let's go.
0:31:15 > 0:31:19Oh, Goldy, what are you doing this afternoon?
0:31:19 > 0:31:24- Nothin'. And I don't like the way you're asking me.- Here, this may give you some laughs.
0:31:24 > 0:31:28- It don't read funny to me. - I want you to call on Mr Amthor.
0:31:28 > 0:31:34- At four o'clock sharp.- What for? - Get your fortune told. Let me know how you come out.- What?
0:31:35 > 0:31:38DOOR BUZZER
0:31:42 > 0:31:45- I'm Anne Riordan. - Will you come in, please?- Thank you.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48I'll tell Miss Kenyon you're here.
0:31:53 > 0:31:54Oh...!
0:31:54 > 0:31:57Oh, good morning, Miss Kenyon.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59I really wasn't expecting...
0:31:59 > 0:32:03- I hope you don't mind my having brought a friend.- Not at all.
0:32:03 > 0:32:08As a matter of fact, I've always had a secret ambition to meet Mr Gay Lawrence.
0:32:08 > 0:32:15- Oh, you know the Falcon?- Only from hearsay, but it was very intriguing gossip. Have you become a reporter?
0:32:15 > 0:32:18I must confess I used this innocent little girl to get an interview.
0:32:18 > 0:32:23- You're interested in the necklace too?- Much more interested in its owner.
0:32:23 > 0:32:29- Strange we haven't met before.- It'd be stranger still if we don't meet again.- It can probably be arranged.
0:32:30 > 0:32:36- AHEM! I don't want to change the subject, but...- Oh, yes, of course. - You're not leaving?!
0:32:36 > 0:32:38..Oh, I really must.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40You see, I almost forgot my cue.
0:32:40 > 0:32:41..It was lovely meeting you.
0:32:46 > 0:32:51- Charming girl.- She was alone in the city, and I befriended her.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55I suppose you know about Mr Marriot?
0:32:55 > 0:32:58- Yes, what really happened? - He just drew a blank.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00- Poor fellow.- Know much about him?
0:33:00 > 0:33:05- I think he had some pretty shady connections.- Didn't that bother you?
0:33:05 > 0:33:08I'm not in a habit of checking on people's past...
0:33:09 > 0:33:11..particularly when they rumba well.
0:33:11 > 0:33:17- Evidently, he was double-crossed. Do you think he had any connection with the hold-up gang?- Possibly.
0:33:17 > 0:33:23- Could you give me a description of the men? - No, it all happened too fast.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26- Why you so interested in Marriot? - I'm not, really.
0:33:26 > 0:33:31But I have a suspicion he was connected with a gentleman named Moose Malloy.
0:33:31 > 0:33:35- I'm anxious to find out what that connection was.- Moose Malloy?
0:33:35 > 0:33:39Sounds grotesque. Do we have to talk about it any more?
0:33:40 > 0:33:41No.
0:33:41 > 0:33:46- It's beginning to bore me too.- You aren't really a detective, are you?
0:33:46 > 0:33:52- I just took this job, and I ought to finish it.- If it's the necklace, you're really working for me.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55- Only if you want me.- I think I do.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58Oh, may I offer you a drink?
0:33:58 > 0:34:01- Never before sundown. - And after that?
0:34:01 > 0:34:03After that, the deluge.
0:34:03 > 0:34:07- What about tonight?- Fine. Shall we make it the Swan Club at ten?
0:34:07 > 0:34:09That's an excellent idea.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13Well...
0:34:22 > 0:34:27- Sorry I kept you waiting, dear. - I like the way I was eased out(!) - You should've stayed to protect me.
0:34:27 > 0:34:32- I didn't hear you yell for help. - Don't jump at conclusions. - Before you argue the point,
0:34:32 > 0:34:34- you'd better remove the lipstick. - Oh.
0:34:35 > 0:34:39It's purely circumstantial evidence. It doesn't prove a thing.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42If your life depended on it, you'd be a dead duck.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45Well? What did you find out?
0:34:45 > 0:34:50- I mean about the case.- About the case? Practically nothing...yet.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54- By the way, are you jealous? - You're positively psychic(!)
0:34:54 > 0:34:58Psychic? That reminds me - I wonder what's happening to Goldy.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25- Go ahead, follow him.- Why, chief?
0:35:25 > 0:35:31Cos I've got a gold badge, you've got a silver badge and I want to follow him. You don't mind, do you?
0:35:31 > 0:35:33No, of course not, chief.
0:35:49 > 0:35:53- Do you have an appointment with The Great Amthor?- You mean the swami?
0:35:53 > 0:35:57- He is not a swami, my friend. The Great Amthor is...- Yeah, I know.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59The Great Amthor is great.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01You were to be here at four?
0:36:01 > 0:36:06- Yeah, how did you know?- The Great Amthor knows all. He's expecting you.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10You will come with me.
0:36:21 > 0:36:25- Go ahead, I'll follow you. - You are to go in alone.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33Hey, Mahatma!
0:36:35 > 0:36:37CURTAIN THUDS ON WOOD
0:36:37 > 0:36:39Come in, please.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01Sit down, please.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08Why are you here in place of your friend?
0:37:08 > 0:37:10What friend?
0:37:10 > 0:37:14My appointment was with Mr Moose Malloy personally.
0:37:14 > 0:37:18I cannot deliver the message he seeks to anyone else.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20Wait here.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37(Idiot! You let in the wrong man! Show him out quickly!)
0:37:41 > 0:37:43Gotta get out of here!
0:37:43 > 0:37:45Excuse me.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47Moose!
0:37:49 > 0:37:54- It's you again, huh?- I didn't do nothing, Moose. I wasn't trying to follow you, honest.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56- I was only getting my fortune told. - Sure, sure(!)
0:38:01 > 0:38:03THUDS AND SCUFFLES
0:38:03 > 0:38:05GUNSHOTS
0:38:07 > 0:38:11Open up! Open in the name of the law! Open up that door!
0:38:14 > 0:38:18- GUNSHOTS Quiet, everybody, in the name of the law!- Stay where you are!
0:38:42 > 0:38:46- So we ain't got nothing on you, huh? - Yeah, we gotta prove corpus delicious.
0:38:46 > 0:38:53- I'm sitting in the chair to get my fortune told, the Moose walks in... - Take him to headquarters.- Pleasure!
0:38:53 > 0:38:56Wait, you can't pin this on me!
0:38:56 > 0:38:59All right, Goldy, for the last time, why'd you knock off them swamis?
0:38:59 > 0:39:05I'm sitting in the chair to get my fortune told, the Moose comes...
0:39:05 > 0:39:09- How'd you know he would be there? - You arranged the meeting, right?
0:39:09 > 0:39:13- Think I'd be within a mile of the joint if I thought the Moose would be there?- Then why go?
0:39:13 > 0:39:19- The Falcon gave me a card! "Get your fortune told."- He must've had a clue the Moose was coming.- What was it?
0:39:19 > 0:39:25- Why don't you ask the Falcon? - We're asking you. - I'm sitting in the chair to...
0:39:25 > 0:39:28"Have my fortune told!" Yeah, I know.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30All right, Dan.
0:39:30 > 0:39:35Take him down to the DA, boys. Book him as being an accessory before the fact, after the fact,
0:39:35 > 0:39:41- aiding and abetting homicide and compounding a felony. Get him out of here.- Wait a minute, you gorillas!
0:39:41 > 0:39:43Just a minute, boys.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49Maybe we've been misjudging Goldy.
0:39:49 > 0:39:53I think he wants to co-operate with us. Don't you, Goldy?
0:39:53 > 0:39:55Sure, Mike.
0:39:55 > 0:39:59Meet my new special, confidential deputy.
0:39:59 > 0:40:02Welcome to the force, chum.
0:40:04 > 0:40:09Hey! Take it easy, will you? My neck ain't never going to be the same.
0:40:09 > 0:40:14- It appears that your vertebrae is at least an inch longer today, sir. - Yeah, it's stretched to the limit.
0:40:14 > 0:40:20- One more twist from the Moose and it'll bust.- Might be wiser to return to the hoosegow, sir.- So!
0:40:20 > 0:40:25- Spying again? How much d'you know? - I saw the badge in your pocket. Need more be said, sir?- Listen,
0:40:25 > 0:40:30- one crack to the boss, and I'll show you how the Moose...! - Not interested, sir.
0:40:30 > 0:40:34- DOOR SHUTS > - It's wiser to be, shall we say, uninformed.- You ain't kidding.
0:40:34 > 0:40:39- Hello, Goldy. Back already? - Yeah. D'you know any more swamis? - Not offhand. What happened?
0:40:39 > 0:40:43- I ran into the Moose, and grew another inch.- Malloy was there?!
0:40:43 > 0:40:48He just dropped in to strangle the swami and his assistant. Then he had to leave. Had a date with a giraffe.
0:40:48 > 0:40:54- How did he miss you?- He was working on me when O'Hara showed.- O'Hara? How did he get wise?- I dunno,
0:40:54 > 0:40:59- but I wasn't mad at him for butting in.- Put your coat on. We're going for a ride, Goldy.- More trouble?
0:40:59 > 0:41:03- No, thanks. I'll sit this one out.- I just thought you'd be safer with us.
0:41:03 > 0:41:06- Malloy might find out where you live.- ..My things!
0:41:06 > 0:41:10- May I go along?- Yes, I'll drop you off at police headquarters.
0:41:10 > 0:41:16See if you can get a look at the records of the Malloy case. Note down anything important. ..Goldy!
0:41:16 > 0:41:19Something tells me this ain't going to be no joyride.
0:41:25 > 0:41:29Pump what information you can out of Bates. Don't let O'Hara see you.
0:41:29 > 0:41:33- Right.- Meet at my apartment tonight. - AFTER you leave Miss Kenyon?
0:41:33 > 0:41:36- No, this is strictly business.- Liar!
0:41:38 > 0:41:41A lovely woman is even lovelier when she's angry.
0:41:41 > 0:41:46- An ugly man gets uglier. Where to? That dame's apartment?- No, Jessie Florian's.- So long, boss!
0:41:46 > 0:41:52- The end of a beautiful friendship. - Goldy, we've no time to lose!- You said it! I've got 30 years to go.
0:41:52 > 0:41:56- I don't want to lose 'em all at once.- Come on, don't argue. - I gotta get cigarettes...
0:41:57 > 0:41:59Inspector O'Hara's office.
0:42:00 > 0:42:04- Bates speaking. - Hey, Bates, this is Goldy Locke.
0:42:04 > 0:42:09But don't mention my name. The boss just sent a dame up there to get some dope on Moose Malloy.
0:42:09 > 0:42:15- Yeah? That's very interesting. - Look, Bates, me and the Falcon are going down to old lady Florian's.
0:42:15 > 0:42:2017 Washington Avenue in Brooklyn. Bates, you've gotta get O'Hara down there in a hurry.
0:42:20 > 0:42:25- If I run into Moose, he'll turn me inside out like a two-bit umbrella in a cyclone.- I'll call him now,
0:42:25 > 0:42:27give him all the dope.
0:42:27 > 0:42:31- Dirt on Malloy?- What's your slant on the case, lady?
0:42:31 > 0:42:35- I want a feature story for my paper. - Well, here's the Moose's record.
0:42:35 > 0:42:40He was in for manslaughter when he escaped. I and my colleague O'Hara figured that the Moose took the rap
0:42:40 > 0:42:46- for a big-timer named Burnett.- Who's Burnett?- Laird Burnett, the nightclub owner. Smooth guy. Been around ages.
0:42:46 > 0:42:52- Nobody can pin nothing on him.- You questioned him?- Sure. He had all the right answers.- Thank you, Mr Bates!
0:42:52 > 0:42:58- I'm sure I'll be able to get a story out of that.- That's OK, lady. Always glad to help a good-looking babe.
0:42:58 > 0:43:01- Aren't you cute? - Cuter than you think, sister.
0:43:01 > 0:43:05- Want to see my baby pictures? - Not at night - I scare too easy.
0:43:07 > 0:43:09GRIMES!
0:43:10 > 0:43:14I heard you. I'LL look at your baby pictures.
0:43:14 > 0:43:19That dame that just left - get on the trail and don't lose her. Chief, I got a new angle on the Falcon.
0:43:27 > 0:43:31- Wait here. If the Moose comes, just whistle.- Hey, boss...
0:43:33 > 0:43:37- I wouldn't be able to whistle. - Then come along.
0:43:50 > 0:43:54- Looks like she's retired for the night.- Good. Let's go!
0:43:54 > 0:43:58- No, tomorrow might be too late. - Not for me!- Come on!
0:44:14 > 0:44:16Careless old girl, leaving her door open.
0:44:16 > 0:44:18Maybe she's expecting somebody.
0:44:18 > 0:44:23- Someone she wasn't expecting has been here and gone. - I don't care if he's been here,
0:44:23 > 0:44:26- I just hope he's gone!- Sh!
0:44:43 > 0:44:46- THUD - (Careful, Goldy!)
0:44:46 > 0:44:50- (I kicked a bottle of something. - Well, move it out of the way.- OK.)
0:44:54 > 0:44:56Give me some light.
0:44:56 > 0:44:58Bloody heavy.
0:44:58 > 0:45:01- I wonder what she's got wrapped up in here.- Take a look.
0:45:06 > 0:45:08Easy, Goldy.
0:45:10 > 0:45:14Like I told you, there goes two of them 30 years.
0:45:16 > 0:45:18Broken neck, just like Montgomery's.
0:45:18 > 0:45:23- Why should he want to knock off an old dame like that?- She wouldn't give him information she had.
0:45:23 > 0:45:27- Why wouldn't she spill it?- She was obviously protecting somebody.- Oh.
0:45:27 > 0:45:33- When we find that out, Goldy, we'll crack this case wide open. - Also maybe our necks.
0:45:33 > 0:45:38Whoever she was covering for instructed her to send Malloy to Amthor's.
0:45:38 > 0:45:42- They didn't think he'd leave Amthor's alive but he did.- And how!
0:45:42 > 0:45:45I still can't seem to fit Marriot into this case, though.
0:45:45 > 0:45:52- Would you mind trying to fit him in at home?- You stay where you are. I'm just going to nose around a bit.
0:45:52 > 0:45:57- And leave me alone?- You're perfectly safe. Malloy won't come back. Just sit tight.

0:47:29 > 0:47:33Hey, look, can't I have just one murder
0:47:33 > 0:47:37without finding you laying around with the body? Can't I? Can't I?
0:47:37 > 0:47:42- Moose! I didn't know, Moose! I wasn't following you...!- Snap out of it, will you?! It's me, O'Hara!
0:47:42 > 0:47:48- You got a nerve, sneaking up on a guy!- How did I know what I was going to find here? Where's the Falcon?
0:47:48 > 0:47:51- He ain't around?- He ain't never around when I get on the scene!

0:48:06 > 0:48:08I accept your resignation. Come on.
0:48:09 > 0:48:15- Come, Jerry, I'll need you. ..Hello. - Hello. What's the hurry?- I've a lot to do. I'll explain later.
0:48:15 > 0:48:19Here's something to look at while you're waiting.
0:48:19 > 0:48:25RADIO: Special bulletin. Police in five boroughs are on the lookout for a Gay Lawrence, alias the Falcon,
0:48:25 > 0:48:31wanted by the Homicide Bureau for questioning in connection with the murder of Mrs Jessie Florian...
0:48:31 > 0:48:37- How long do you think it'll take O'Hara to find you?- He'll think I'm much too smart to come home.
0:48:38 > 0:48:43- So this is Velma!- Gorgeous, isn't she?- In a vulgar sort of way.
0:48:43 > 0:48:49- I'm talking about her beautiful figure.- Did you study the face? - I haven't got around to that yet.
0:48:49 > 0:48:51Mmm!
0:48:53 > 0:48:55LONG WHISTLE
0:48:55 > 0:48:57What'd you find out at police HQ?
0:48:57 > 0:49:03- Oh, nothing much, except they think Malloy took the rap for a man he worked for, Laird Burnett.- Burnett?
0:49:03 > 0:49:07- Are you sure?- Of course. Runs the Swan Club.- I've got an idea.
0:49:07 > 0:49:10KNOCK AT DOOR Open up. Police!
0:49:13 > 0:49:15Wow!
0:49:27 > 0:49:32- Hello.- A real champion - he keeps the challenger waiting.- I'm sorry, darling, I couldn't get away.
0:49:32 > 0:49:38- Did you try very hard?- Does it show? - A little.- Well, that makes matters even. She'd be glad to hear that.
0:49:38 > 0:49:44- Let's talk about you.- Why, Mr Lawrence!- It think it's only fair to warn you I'm sought by the police.
0:49:44 > 0:49:49- How exciting.- And you can help me clear myself.- I'd love to. Now I've found you, I'd hate to lose you.
0:49:49 > 0:49:53Naturally. By the way, do you know Burnett, the owner of this club?
0:49:53 > 0:49:57- I'm their star customer.- I'd like to meet him. Can you introduce me?- Why?
0:49:57 > 0:50:00I think he can tell me something about Moose Malloy.
0:50:00 > 0:50:06- Burnett? I don't understand how... - Just don't try to solve it, darling. Leave it to me. Now, let's meet him.
0:50:06 > 0:50:08All right.
0:50:14 > 0:50:17- Check your hat, sir? - Er, no, thanks, sister.
0:50:22 > 0:50:24Come in.
0:50:24 > 0:50:26- Hello, Laird.- Hello, Miss Kenyon.
0:50:26 > 0:50:30- Glad you dropped back. How's everything?- No complaints.
0:50:30 > 0:50:36- I just wanted you to meet a friend of mine. Mr Lawrence - Mr Burnett. - How do you do?- Ah, the Falcon.
0:50:36 > 0:50:41- Any friend of Miss Kenyon's is always welcome.- Thanks very much. What a delightful place.- Has to be -
0:50:41 > 0:50:47- I entertain delightful people. - I must admit I had a purpose in meeting you, Mr Burnett.- Yes?
0:50:47 > 0:50:51I wondered if you had a means of getting in touch with Moose Malloy.
0:50:53 > 0:50:55Malloy? Why should I?
0:50:55 > 0:50:58He worked for you once, didn't he?
0:50:58 > 0:51:04- Lots of people have, Mr Lawrence, but I'm not responsible for their actions.- You misunderstand me.
0:51:04 > 0:51:09I didn't mean to infer that you are in any way involved with Malloy.
0:51:09 > 0:51:12I just thought he might seek your protection.
0:51:12 > 0:51:18- If he were foolish enough to do that, naturally, I'd have to inform the police.- Naturally.
0:51:18 > 0:51:22Malloy seems to be very anxious to find this young lady.
0:51:22 > 0:51:27If he thought we knew anything about her, we could probably trap him.
0:51:31 > 0:51:34Just what is your interest in this case, Mr Lawrence?
0:51:34 > 0:51:40- I'm trying to track down a valuable necklace for Miss Kenyon. - That's right.- Sorry,
0:51:40 > 0:51:43- I'm afraid I can't help you. - Let me see that.
0:51:45 > 0:51:50- You know, I've seen this girl somewhere before.- You have? - I'm sure of it. The Green Mill.
0:51:50 > 0:51:56- The what?- A little roadhouse on the Old Post Road. She's dancing in the floorshow there.- Are you positive?
0:51:56 > 0:52:02- Quite. I wondered why such a beautiful girl could waste herself in that isolated spot.- Hiding out.
0:52:02 > 0:52:04Of course!
0:52:04 > 0:52:10- Let's take a drive there. My car's out front. - That's an excellent idea.
0:52:10 > 0:52:13- Oh, Goodbye, Mr Burnett. - Goodbye, Mr Lawrence.
0:52:13 > 0:52:17- So long, Laird. Don't let the Moose get you.- Be careful yourself.
0:52:23 > 0:52:25DANCE NUMBER ENDS
0:52:26 > 0:52:32- (Quick, it's one of O'Hara's men.) - What'll we do?- Get someone to start a fight.- What?- Go on, don't argue.
0:52:32 > 0:52:34Get someone to start a fight.
0:52:43 > 0:52:48- Sock somebody, Louis.- What?- Start a fight.- You want to get me fired? - No - it'll get you a raise.
0:52:58 > 0:53:00OK, Miss Kenyon.
0:53:00 > 0:53:02Hurry up.
0:53:05 > 0:53:08Hey you! What's the big idea, molesting this lady?
0:53:08 > 0:53:15- What?- I beg your pardon? This lady happens to be my wife.- Oh, yeah? That's what they all say.- You...!
0:53:15 > 0:53:17WOMEN SCREAM
0:53:21 > 0:53:24Come on, break it up!
0:53:33 > 0:53:37- Get the car ready. I'll be right with you.- OK.
0:53:37 > 0:53:40- Can I get this quick?- Yes, sir. - Hold on. Give me paper and a pencil.
0:53:43 > 0:53:48There's a Mr Grimes from police headquarters here. Give him this note when he disentangles himself.
0:53:48 > 0:53:50Yes, sir.
0:53:54 > 0:53:59- Did you get rid of him all right? - Yes, let's get going quickly. - ..Drive out to the Old Post Road.
0:53:59 > 0:54:03- Mr Grimes, here's a message for you. - Better read it to me, sister.
0:54:03 > 0:54:09- "You can catch up with me if you take the Old Post Road," signed "the Falcon".- The Falcon?!
0:54:23 > 0:54:27- Lonely highway, isn't it? - It isn't used much any more.
0:54:27 > 0:54:29It's a nice place to go for a ride.
0:54:30 > 0:54:35- That's what I thought.- Oh, so it IS a ride.- You've guessed it.
0:54:35 > 0:54:37You guessed too many things, Mr Falcon.
0:54:37 > 0:54:42Check me if I guess wrong. You're Velma. You were in the swami racket with Burnett, Marriot and Amthor.
0:54:42 > 0:54:49- A good living, till you looked into a crystal ball.- Burnett would point wealthy Swan Club patrons to Amthor.
0:54:49 > 0:54:53You'd be surprised how society saps fall for swami drivel.
0:54:53 > 0:54:58- They bared their souls. - And you promptly blackmailed them. - You're amazing. And so amusing.
0:54:58 > 0:55:01Shame you're too dangerous to have around.
0:55:01 > 0:55:04You planned my murder once before, didn't you?
0:55:04 > 0:55:09- That was Laird Burnett's idea, getting rid of you and Marriot at one time.- Why Marriot?
0:55:09 > 0:55:14He was getting weak. It'd only be a matter of time until he'd talk under pressure.
0:55:14 > 0:55:18- You and Burnett are rather close, aren't you?- Rather.
0:55:20 > 0:55:24Jessie Florian knew about your past and present romance, didn't she?
0:55:24 > 0:55:28And she was also being paid to forget some information she knew
0:55:28 > 0:55:31about a manslaughter rap Malloy took for Burnett.
0:55:31 > 0:55:34We were a little worried when you tracked Moose to her.
0:55:38 > 0:55:41I don't see any cars, chief.
0:55:41 > 0:55:46- Could it creep under that thick skull of yours that maybe he deliberately gave you a bum steer?.- No, sir.
0:55:46 > 0:55:49- Did it creep in yours?- No...
0:55:49 > 0:55:55- Shut up!- You know, if we could find a road with traffic on it, maybe we could pinch somebody for speeding.
0:56:00 > 0:56:03How did you know the picture was fake?
0:56:03 > 0:56:08The handwriting on it matched a little note Jessie left around - unfinished.
0:56:08 > 0:56:12I can't understand how such brilliance could get you into a spot like this.
0:56:12 > 0:56:16- I'm always a sucker for a beautiful woman.- You and MANkind.
0:56:16 > 0:56:20Nobody will disturb us. We left the old road quite some time ago.
0:56:24 > 0:56:27All right, Girdja, take the Falcon for a walk.
0:56:27 > 0:56:29And come back alone.
0:56:45 > 0:56:47Hello, baby.
0:56:47 > 0:56:49Girdja couldn't come.
0:56:49 > 0:56:50Moose!
0:56:50 > 0:56:51Yeah.
0:56:51 > 0:56:54So it's you and Burnett, huh?
0:56:55 > 0:56:58That's my payoff for taking his rap?
0:56:58 > 0:57:03Moose, listen. I wanted to come back to you but he wouldn't let me. Honest, Moose!
0:57:03 > 0:57:05I saw Burnett last night, baby.
0:57:06 > 0:57:09He said he didn't know where you was.
0:57:09 > 0:57:12He lied! He said he'd kill me if I went back to you.
0:57:14 > 0:57:15Velma.
0:57:15 > 0:57:18Why did you do it, baby?
0:57:28 > 0:57:31Why did you do it?
0:57:33 > 0:57:35Why did you do it...?
0:57:38 > 0:57:41That leaves only you to take care of now.
0:57:41 > 0:57:42MOTOR >
0:57:44 > 0:57:46LOUD BANG
0:57:51 > 0:57:55Don't tell me you had to struggle with her, now(?) In such a romantic spot, too!
0:57:59 > 0:58:04- This time they weren't blanks. - Holy cats!- It's a very lucky thing for me that you're a jealous woman.
0:58:04 > 0:58:09I followed only out of interest in the journalistic aspects of this case, Mr Lawrence.
0:58:09 > 0:58:15Hmm. Well, there's your story. You can pick any newspaper in town for your job.
0:58:15 > 0:58:18I think Inspector O'Hara would like to see you.
0:58:20 > 0:58:22Jeepers!
0:58:23 > 0:58:28- Goodbye, Miss Kenyon. A good lawyer and your charm should get you off with 30 years.- Yeah.
0:58:28 > 0:58:33- I'll give you and your stooge a break. I'll drop the charges against you.- Oh, thank you.
0:58:33 > 0:58:37- It's OK. ..Come on, Bates, I'm going to pick up Burnett. - Why, chief? Who said so?- I...
0:58:37 > 0:58:39I happen to head the homicide squad
0:58:39 > 0:58:44- and I'd like to pinch him, if you don't mind. - Not at all, chief.- Thanks.
0:58:48 > 0:58:51- OK, Goldy, spill it. - I'm sitting in the chair,
0:58:51 > 0:58:55going to have my fortune told, when the Moose comes...
0:58:55 > 0:59:01- What's the idea?!- OK, bring him out. - No, you don't! I'm staying in here till the season for Moose is on!
0:59:01 > 0:59:06Miss Kenyon opened it officially a few hours ago and without a licence.
0:59:07 > 0:59:12- You got a call from the airport, Mr Lawrence. Your fiancee's waiting there for you.- Oh, thanks.
0:59:12 > 0:59:14Oh, Gay! Darling!
0:59:14 > 0:59:16Look!
0:59:18 > 0:59:20Well, that's fine!
0:59:21 > 0:59:25- Now you don't need me any more. - Oh, but I thought we might...
0:59:25 > 0:59:30My dear, there are moments when one must face reality with courage and steadfast bearing -
0:59:30 > 0:59:36my fiancee is waiting. I have pledged my life to her alone. You understand, my dear.
0:59:36 > 0:59:38- Take your hands off me!- Come on!
0:59:38 > 0:59:42Just cos that ham Featherbush gets himself bumped off in the dressing room,
0:59:42 > 0:59:47- why should hard-working girls be deprived of their livelihood?! - Tell it to the chief.
0:59:48 > 0:59:54Oh, Mr Falcon! I recognise you from your picture in the newspaper! Please help! We'll be so grateful!
0:59:54 > 0:59:59- C'mon, sister!- Are you standing by to let poor, innocent girls suffer injustice?- Come on!
0:59:59 > 1:00:01Are you?
1:00:02 > 1:00:04I should say not!
1:00:06 > 1:00:08- Back to his old game.- Yeah.
1:00:08 > 1:00:11Only, this time, he hit the jackpot.
