0:01:31 > 0:01:36# Please listen to my plea

0:01:36 > 0:01:42# My love is gone from me

0:02:24 > 0:02:26APPLAUSE

0:02:26 > 0:02:27'You have been listening

0:02:27 > 0:02:28'to the songs of Estrellita.

0:02:28 > 0:02:30'This is...'

0:02:40 > 0:02:41Hello.

0:02:41 > 0:02:42Hello.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44The show was great tonight, Susan.

0:02:44 > 0:02:45No-one would ever guess

0:02:45 > 0:02:47the new introduction would really be a commercial.

0:02:47 > 0:02:50Sure. My having to knock myself out later

0:02:50 > 0:02:52rushing through Estrellita to finish on time

0:02:52 > 0:02:54doesn't matter, just as l...

0:02:54 > 0:02:57Oh, what difference does it make?

0:02:57 > 0:02:59Hungry? Mollie's been waiting up.

0:02:59 > 0:03:00No, I'm not hungry.

0:03:00 > 0:03:01I was just asking.

0:03:01 > 0:03:03There's something I want to talk over with you,

0:03:03 > 0:03:05only I don't mean talk over.

0:03:05 > 0:03:07I mean tell you.

0:03:07 > 0:03:08There's been something on your mind

0:03:08 > 0:03:11since you got back from New Orleans.

0:03:11 > 0:03:13I'm glad you feel like talking about it.

0:03:13 > 0:03:15It may help you.

0:03:15 > 0:03:16I don't want any help,

0:03:16 > 0:03:18and I don't intend to talk it over.

0:03:18 > 0:03:21It's just something I've decided to tell you,

0:03:21 > 0:03:23and I'm going to tell you.

0:03:23 > 0:03:24I'm tired...

0:03:24 > 0:03:25Tired of everything and everybody,

0:03:25 > 0:03:28and I'm through. I'm through for good.

0:03:28 > 0:03:30I'm glad you've decided to take a rest.

0:03:30 > 0:03:31You've been working too hard.

0:03:31 > 0:03:33We can go away someplace.

0:03:33 > 0:03:35You're the biggest fool I ever met.

0:03:35 > 0:03:37You don't know what I'm talking about.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40Get some sleep, Susan. You're very tired.

0:03:40 > 0:03:42What makes you think you know everything?

0:03:42 > 0:03:44I don't think I know everything.

0:03:44 > 0:03:47Just because you and Mr Luke Jordan...

0:03:47 > 0:03:48Is that what's bothering you?

0:03:48 > 0:03:50I don't mean anything to Luke Jordan,

0:03:50 > 0:03:52and there's no reason why I should.

0:03:52 > 0:03:54He doesn't owe me a thing.

0:03:54 > 0:03:56But I do, don't I?

0:03:56 > 0:03:58You made me what I am, didn't you?

0:03:58 > 0:03:59I don't think you did.

0:03:59 > 0:04:00I'd have been Estrellita

0:04:00 > 0:04:02or something much greater

0:04:02 > 0:04:03if I'd never met you.

0:04:03 > 0:04:04I'm sure you would.

0:04:04 > 0:04:06Suppose you did make me Estrellita.

0:04:06 > 0:04:08Suppose tomorrow morning

0:04:08 > 0:04:09there wasn't any Estrellita.

0:04:09 > 0:04:11Suppose I decided to do something by myself.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13Suppose I...

0:04:13 > 0:04:15Stop it, Susan!

0:04:18 > 0:04:20DOOR SLAMS

0:04:44 > 0:04:46Susan.

0:04:47 > 0:04:48Susan.

0:05:07 > 0:05:09GUNSHOT

0:05:19 > 0:05:21Miss Susan!

0:05:21 > 0:05:22< Miss Susan!

0:05:22 > 0:05:24Come in, Mollie.

0:05:24 > 0:05:27I thought I heard a shot.

0:05:27 > 0:05:29Why, what happened?

0:05:29 > 0:05:30A gun.

0:05:30 > 0:05:32Did Miss Caldwell try to...?

0:05:32 > 0:05:34This is Miss Washburn.

0:05:34 > 0:05:37Can I speak to Dr Ferris? Please.

0:05:37 > 0:05:41Shouldn't we try to do something, Miss Marian?

0:05:41 > 0:05:42I'll take care of everything.

0:05:42 > 0:05:44Yes, Miss Marian.

0:05:44 > 0:05:47Hello. Dr Ferris, this is Marian Washburn.

0:05:47 > 0:05:48There's...

0:05:48 > 0:05:50Miss Caldwell has just been shot.

0:05:50 > 0:05:51Can you come right up?

0:05:51 > 0:05:54We're on the 18th floor, you know.

0:05:55 > 0:05:57No, I won't touch a thing. I promise.

0:05:58 > 0:06:00Thank you.

0:06:03 > 0:06:06The doctor will be up in a couple of minutes.

0:06:06 > 0:06:08But how did it happen? How could...

0:06:08 > 0:06:12Have the doctor come up as soon as he gets here.

0:06:12 > 0:06:13Yes, Miss Marian.

0:06:37 > 0:06:39Well?

0:06:39 > 0:06:41Well, she's still alive.

0:06:41 > 0:06:44We have to get her to a hospital at once.

0:06:48 > 0:06:51El Dorado 59098.

0:06:51 > 0:06:52What happened?

0:06:52 > 0:06:54This is an emergency,

0:06:54 > 0:06:56and I'll have to make an official report.

0:06:56 > 0:06:58It's my duty.

0:06:58 > 0:06:59Hello. This is Dr Ferris.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02Send an ambulance to 880 Park Avenue.

0:07:02 > 0:07:04Right away.

0:07:04 > 0:07:06Miss Washburn's apartment. Thank you.

0:07:06 > 0:07:09Isn't there something you could do right away?

0:07:09 > 0:07:12I'm not sure that even at the hospital...

0:07:12 > 0:07:15The bullet is very close to her heart.

0:07:23 > 0:07:25This is Miss Washburn.

0:07:25 > 0:07:28Will you please get me police headquarters?

0:07:28 > 0:07:30DOORBELL RINGS

0:07:32 > 0:07:34I'm Lieutenant Benson.

0:07:34 > 0:07:36Miss Washburn.

0:07:40 > 0:07:41What's happened?

0:07:41 > 0:07:45There's been a shooting. I did it.

0:07:45 > 0:07:48You'll find her in her room upstairs.

0:07:48 > 0:07:50There's a doctor with her.

0:07:50 > 0:07:51Take a look.

0:07:51 > 0:07:53Right.

0:07:53 > 0:07:55Right after she came home from her broadcast...

0:07:55 > 0:07:56Who?

0:07:56 > 0:07:58Miss Caldwell. Estrellita, the radio singer.

0:07:58 > 0:08:00Susan Caldwell is her real name.

0:08:00 > 0:08:02Tonight we started...

0:08:02 > 0:08:04I've got to warn and advise you.

0:08:04 > 0:08:06Anything you say can be held against you.

0:08:06 > 0:08:07I have nothing to conceal.

0:08:07 > 0:08:10Right after it happens, you can't shut them up.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12Three days later, they get a lawyer,

0:08:12 > 0:08:15and you can't get a word out of them.

0:08:15 > 0:08:18Doc says she's got to get to the hospital.

0:08:18 > 0:08:20Matter of life and death. Probably death.

0:08:20 > 0:08:24OK. I'll have to take you to the police station.

0:08:24 > 0:08:25I'm ready.

0:08:25 > 0:08:27I just have to get my coat.

0:08:27 > 0:08:28All right.

0:08:28 > 0:08:29Only about that coat -

0:08:29 > 0:08:31sometimes they got a bathroom

0:08:31 > 0:08:33where they go for the coat.

0:08:33 > 0:08:34DOORBELL RINGS

0:08:34 > 0:08:35And they get an idea

0:08:35 > 0:08:36about poison or a razor, maybe.

0:08:36 > 0:08:38Mind if I go with you?

0:08:38 > 0:08:39Not at all.

0:08:51 > 0:08:52Hello, Inspector.

0:08:52 > 0:08:55Miss Washburn?

0:08:56 > 0:08:57Yes. I'm Miss Washburn.

0:08:57 > 0:09:00Mollie, will you get my coat, please?

0:09:00 > 0:09:02I'm Inspector Fowler.

0:09:02 > 0:09:05What's the dope, Harry?

0:09:05 > 0:09:06She was just going to tell me.

0:09:06 > 0:09:08Said she shot a woman. Name of Caldwell.

0:09:08 > 0:09:10The doctor's up there with her.

0:09:10 > 0:09:12She's breathing, but it looks pretty serious.

0:09:14 > 0:09:16As long as you're here,

0:09:16 > 0:09:17I'll go up and give Fitz a hand.

0:09:17 > 0:09:18Right.

0:09:20 > 0:09:23Am I under arrest?

0:09:23 > 0:09:24At the police station you'll be booked,

0:09:24 > 0:09:26probably on a charge of felonious assault.

0:09:26 > 0:09:28Of course, if Miss Caldwell should die,

0:09:28 > 0:09:31the charge is homicide.

0:09:31 > 0:09:33You'll be allowed

0:09:33 > 0:09:35to make three calls from the station house.

0:09:35 > 0:09:37The officer in charge or myself

0:09:37 > 0:09:38will make them for you.

0:09:38 > 0:09:40One will be to your lawyer.

0:09:40 > 0:09:42You can decide now on the other two.

0:09:42 > 0:09:44I don't want a lawyer.

0:09:44 > 0:09:45Miss Washburn.

0:09:45 > 0:09:48We better be getting along.

0:09:49 > 0:09:52You're the doctor.

0:09:52 > 0:09:53No. The inspector.

0:09:53 > 0:09:54That's not funny.

0:09:54 > 0:09:56It never is when there's been a shooting.

0:09:56 > 0:10:00If the Lord wanted a bullet in you,

0:10:00 > 0:10:02you'd have been born with one.

0:10:04 > 0:10:07You're sure you don't want to call your lawyer?

0:10:07 > 0:10:10No. Just the one call.

0:10:17 > 0:10:21I always turn philosophical about this time of night.

0:10:21 > 0:10:23Lieutenant, how do you decide

0:10:23 > 0:10:25whether people are telling the truth or not?

0:10:25 > 0:10:27Simple, the way I look at it.

0:10:27 > 0:10:29The minute anybody's arrested,

0:10:29 > 0:10:32he's a liar unless he's pleading guilty.

0:10:32 > 0:10:34Well, she's pleading guilty.

0:10:34 > 0:10:36Give me the phone.

0:10:36 > 0:10:37Yeah.

0:10:39 > 0:10:41PIANO PLAYS

0:10:41 > 0:10:43Come, come, now, Mr Jordan.

0:10:43 > 0:10:45You don't mean you can't identify the passage?

0:10:45 > 0:10:47I can identify it,

0:10:47 > 0:10:48but I've decided to wait.

0:10:48 > 0:10:51Every time I identify anything right away,

0:10:51 > 0:10:53Mr Harris and Mr Pierson here say

0:10:53 > 0:10:55that's what they were about to identify.

0:10:55 > 0:10:57You have no idea what that music is,

0:10:57 > 0:11:00have you? Gentlemen?

0:11:00 > 0:11:02That's exactly what I was going to say.

0:11:02 > 0:11:04No idea.

0:11:04 > 0:11:05Me, too.

0:11:05 > 0:11:06That's better.

0:11:06 > 0:11:10It's from act one of Wagner's Die Walkure.

0:11:10 > 0:11:11It's the orchestral passage

0:11:11 > 0:11:14in the middle section of Sigmund's Love Song.

0:11:14 > 0:11:16Correct.

0:11:16 > 0:11:18APPLAUSE How do you do it?

0:11:18 > 0:11:20I don't know. Genius, would you say?

0:11:20 > 0:11:22I might not, but you would.

0:11:22 > 0:11:25Just to throw people off the track, perhaps.

0:11:25 > 0:11:27Tonight our board of experts has held our losses

0:11:27 > 0:11:30to two snap-a-lens cameras

0:11:30 > 0:11:31and two Medalgo projectors.

0:11:31 > 0:11:33Next week, in addition to our regular experts,

0:11:33 > 0:11:35Mr Harris and Mr Pierson,

0:11:35 > 0:11:37we will again have the privilege

0:11:37 > 0:11:40of having as our guest Mr Luke Jordan,

0:11:40 > 0:11:43celebrated composer, concert pianist, wit,

0:11:43 > 0:11:44and, er, all-around gadfly.

0:11:44 > 0:11:46What's the matter, Tommy?

0:11:46 > 0:11:48You're to call this number, Mr Jordan.

0:11:48 > 0:11:49Very important, they said.

0:11:49 > 0:11:51It's a police station -

0:11:51 > 0:11:52the Manhattan East precinct.

0:11:52 > 0:11:54What have I done now?

0:11:55 > 0:11:56Here, here.

0:11:56 > 0:11:59It's not going to get you anyplace at all

0:11:59 > 0:12:01to carry on like this.

0:12:01 > 0:12:03You can't see Miss Washburn, and that's that.

0:12:03 > 0:12:06What's the idea of telling me where she is

0:12:06 > 0:12:08and not letting me see her?

0:12:12 > 0:12:14If you weren't out of your mind, I'd lock you up.

0:12:14 > 0:12:17That's an idea. Lock me up.

0:12:17 > 0:12:19You're way off base, smarty-pants.

0:12:19 > 0:12:20There's a whole different tier

0:12:20 > 0:12:22and a whole different wing

0:12:22 > 0:12:23for the women prisoners.

0:12:25 > 0:12:26Here!

0:12:29 > 0:12:30OK.

0:12:30 > 0:12:32Give him his number, Charlie.

0:12:32 > 0:12:35Port Washington 8721.

0:12:38 > 0:12:40Hello. Matthews?

0:12:40 > 0:12:43I'd like to speak to Mr Matthews, please.

0:12:43 > 0:12:45I don't care whether he's retired.

0:12:45 > 0:12:46This is Luke Jordan.

0:12:46 > 0:12:48I've got to talk to Mr Matthews.

0:12:48 > 0:12:49Never mind your orders.

0:12:49 > 0:12:52Wake him up. He'll talk to me.

0:12:52 > 0:12:54I've got to talk to Mr Matthews!

0:12:57 > 0:12:58They hung up.

0:12:58 > 0:13:00What do you know.

0:13:00 > 0:13:04You don't seem to be in charge of everything tonight, do you?

0:13:06 > 0:13:07Where can I get a cab?

0:13:07 > 0:13:09On the street, very likely.

0:13:09 > 0:13:11We used to have a collection in here,

0:13:11 > 0:13:12all ready for passengers,

0:13:12 > 0:13:15but it got in the way of business.

0:13:22 > 0:13:23I warn you, Mr Jordan,

0:13:23 > 0:13:26I'll be compelled to send for the police.

0:13:26 > 0:13:28Mr Matthews is not to be disturbed.

0:13:28 > 0:13:30There were to be no exceptions.

0:13:30 > 0:13:32There's already been an exception.

0:13:32 > 0:13:34I'm it.

0:13:34 > 0:13:38Mr Jordan, sir, I'm an old man,

0:13:38 > 0:13:41but I intend to do my best to prevent you...

0:13:41 > 0:13:42It's all right, Harold.

0:13:42 > 0:13:44I'm coming down.

0:13:47 > 0:13:49I'm sorry to disturb you, like this, Brook,

0:13:49 > 0:13:51but it's terribly important.

0:13:51 > 0:13:52It better be.

0:13:52 > 0:13:55You can go to bed now, Harold.

0:13:55 > 0:13:56Thank you, Mr Matthews.

0:13:59 > 0:14:00What's this all about, Luke?

0:14:08 > 0:14:11I wish I could tell you some other way,

0:14:11 > 0:14:12but I can't.

0:14:12 > 0:14:14Susan was shot tonight.

0:14:14 > 0:14:15Susan was... What's that?

0:14:15 > 0:14:17I went to the police station,

0:14:17 > 0:14:19but I couldn't find out much.

0:14:19 > 0:14:20They've locked up Marian.

0:14:20 > 0:14:22She says she tried to kill Susan.

0:14:22 > 0:14:24I called you right away,

0:14:24 > 0:14:25but that birdbrain butler...

0:14:25 > 0:14:26Never mind. What about Susan?

0:14:26 > 0:14:28She's not... She's not dead?

0:14:28 > 0:14:30No. But there's no telling.

0:14:30 > 0:14:32Nobody's allowed to see her.

0:14:32 > 0:14:34Well, help yourself.

0:14:34 > 0:14:35Marian's being very stubborn.

0:14:35 > 0:14:37Says she doesn't want a lawyer.

0:14:37 > 0:14:38That's why I came here.

0:14:38 > 0:14:40You'll be her lawyer.

0:14:40 > 0:14:42Tomorrow you'll let the district attorney know

0:14:42 > 0:14:43you're handling the case.

0:14:43 > 0:14:46I see no reason to be involved with Susan.

0:14:47 > 0:14:50When a man asks a woman to marry him,

0:14:50 > 0:14:52that gets him involved with what happens to her.

0:14:52 > 0:14:54No?

0:14:54 > 0:14:55Susan let me know

0:14:55 > 0:14:58the day after she got back from New Orleans

0:14:58 > 0:15:01that she decided not to marry me.

0:15:01 > 0:15:02I know about that.

0:15:02 > 0:15:03I can't figure it out

0:15:03 > 0:15:05any more than you can,

0:15:05 > 0:15:09but you're one of the best lawyers in New York,

0:15:09 > 0:15:11and you're going to represent Marian.

0:15:11 > 0:15:12While Mother was alive,

0:15:12 > 0:15:15it was impossible for me to marry Susan.

0:15:15 > 0:15:16And I'm beginning to think

0:15:16 > 0:15:17she wouldn't have married me

0:15:17 > 0:15:19even if Mother hadn't...

0:15:19 > 0:15:21It's completely out of the question

0:15:21 > 0:15:24for me to get mixed up in this matter.

0:15:24 > 0:15:25You'll be mixed up in it,

0:15:25 > 0:15:27but you have a choice

0:15:27 > 0:15:30as to whether you want to be Marian's lawyer -

0:15:30 > 0:15:31which is natural enough,

0:15:31 > 0:15:33your being a friend of hers and Susan's -

0:15:33 > 0:15:36or summoned by the prosecution as a witness.

0:15:44 > 0:15:45I still can't believe it.

0:15:45 > 0:15:48They always seemed to be such close friends.

0:15:48 > 0:15:49I'm surprised you didn't recognise

0:15:49 > 0:15:51what an odd friendship that was.

0:15:51 > 0:15:53Marian's regular and genuine, and...

0:15:53 > 0:15:55well, a lot of things Susan isn't.

0:15:55 > 0:15:58That's all right to say, isn't it?

0:15:58 > 0:16:00You did say you were through with her.

0:16:00 > 0:16:02That's no reason for being so...

0:16:02 > 0:16:03So realistic about Susan.

0:16:03 > 0:16:05Realistic's the word for Susan, all right.

0:16:09 > 0:16:11It's been quite a night, hasn't it, Luke?

0:16:11 > 0:16:14Just say I've persuaded you to represent Marian.

0:16:15 > 0:16:17Thanks a lot.

0:16:17 > 0:16:18I'm going to get some sleep.

0:16:18 > 0:16:20You better do the same.

0:16:20 > 0:16:22Wait a minute. I'll let you out.

0:16:25 > 0:16:27Why do you think

0:16:27 > 0:16:29Marian told the police she tried to kill Susan?

0:16:29 > 0:16:32Maybe because she did try to kill Susan.

0:16:32 > 0:16:33Could be.

0:16:33 > 0:16:36Except for one other thing.

0:16:36 > 0:16:39Couldn't be. Not a chance in the world.

0:16:40 > 0:16:42I'm sure you realise, Mr Matthews,

0:16:42 > 0:16:44the District Attorney's office would be obliged

0:16:44 > 0:16:47to oppose bail for Miss Washburn

0:16:47 > 0:16:48in every possible way.

0:16:48 > 0:16:50She's not going to run away.

0:16:50 > 0:16:53We're apt to have a phone call

0:16:53 > 0:16:55that can change this charge to homicide.

0:16:55 > 0:16:58It's because we're holding her on a short affidavit

0:16:58 > 0:17:01that I've consented to the presence of Mr Jordan.

0:17:01 > 0:17:03I recognise your courtesy.

0:17:03 > 0:17:04If it weren't for me,

0:17:04 > 0:17:06you'd be applying lighted cigarettes to her feet.

0:17:06 > 0:17:08Please take it easy, Luke.

0:17:08 > 0:17:09Miss Washburn,

0:17:09 > 0:17:13Mr Matthews says you've decided to give your version.

0:17:13 > 0:17:14< That is not exactly correct.

0:17:14 > 0:17:18I've advised Miss Washburn not to make any statement.

0:17:18 > 0:17:20It's not in her interests.

0:17:21 > 0:17:23Shall I go ahead, Mr Roberts?

0:17:23 > 0:17:24Please.

0:17:24 > 0:17:26Susan got back to the apartment

0:17:26 > 0:17:28about the same time as usual

0:17:28 > 0:17:30after her broadcast last night,

0:17:30 > 0:17:32and, well...

0:17:32 > 0:17:34We got into a bit of an argument.

0:17:34 > 0:17:35About what?

0:17:35 > 0:17:37I advise you again

0:17:37 > 0:17:39you're under no obligation

0:17:39 > 0:17:41to answer any of Mr Roberts' questions.

0:17:41 > 0:17:44She said she was going to quit for good,

0:17:44 > 0:17:46then she went to her room.

0:17:46 > 0:17:50It didn't take me long to make up my mind

0:17:50 > 0:17:52to tell her how things stood.

0:17:52 > 0:17:57I saw no reason to take any more of her nonsense...

0:18:02 > 0:18:03Susan.

0:18:04 > 0:18:05Susan.

0:18:10 > 0:18:12I want to talk to you.

0:18:12 > 0:18:14I'm sorry if I upset you.

0:18:14 > 0:18:16We can talk about it tomorrow...

0:18:16 > 0:18:18We're talking about it now.

0:18:18 > 0:18:20I want you to get this straight.

0:18:20 > 0:18:22You're not giving up your career.

0:18:22 > 0:18:23I'm not important enough

0:18:23 > 0:18:26to talk about giving up my career.

0:18:26 > 0:18:28I'm just tired and...

0:18:28 > 0:18:29You're not going to quit.

0:18:29 > 0:18:32You're not just yourself alone. You're me, too.

0:18:32 > 0:18:35Marian, if it weren't for you and Luke...

0:18:35 > 0:18:37That's why it's been so hard...

0:18:37 > 0:18:40I'd have given up being Estrellita long ago,

0:18:40 > 0:18:42gotten married maybe,

0:18:42 > 0:18:44or gone back to selling perfumes at Norman's...

0:18:44 > 0:18:49Everything I had or could have had went into creating you.

0:18:49 > 0:18:52You're myself, the way I wanted to be.

0:18:52 > 0:18:54What will happen to me if you quit?

0:18:54 > 0:18:57It's my life as much as yours.

0:18:57 > 0:18:59I'm not letting you give it up.

0:18:59 > 0:19:02I've made up my mind. I'm really quitting.

0:19:02 > 0:19:04You're not!

0:19:04 > 0:19:06There's nothing else for me to do.

0:19:06 > 0:19:08You're right about your life being my life.

0:19:08 > 0:19:11I've never had a life of my own.

0:19:11 > 0:19:12It's time I started one.

0:19:12 > 0:19:15I'm warning you for the last time.

0:19:15 > 0:19:17Maybe I can make you change your mind!

0:19:17 > 0:19:20No!

0:19:20 > 0:19:21GUNSHOT

0:19:23 > 0:19:24Mollie heard the shot.

0:19:24 > 0:19:26Then she came rushing in.

0:19:26 > 0:19:29I called Dr Ferris, then I called the police.

0:19:29 > 0:19:32Thank you very much, Miss Washburn.

0:19:35 > 0:19:37You see, she was me.

0:19:37 > 0:19:40I couldn't let her quit.

0:19:40 > 0:19:42Very straightforward story.

0:19:42 > 0:19:44Except it's complete nonsense

0:19:44 > 0:19:46from beginning to end.

0:19:46 > 0:19:48If I'm allowed to express an opinion,

0:19:48 > 0:19:50begging your highness' pardon, Mr Roberts.

0:19:50 > 0:19:52Where did you get that revolver?

0:19:52 > 0:19:53It's a German Luger.

0:19:53 > 0:19:56When I was in France in 1944 with Susan,

0:19:56 > 0:19:59a soldier insisted upon giving it to me

0:19:59 > 0:20:01as a souvenir.

0:20:01 > 0:20:02That soldier had a name?

0:20:02 > 0:20:04I never knew his name.

0:20:04 > 0:20:06It was at a canteen.

0:20:06 > 0:20:08We played gin rummy.

0:20:08 > 0:20:10That was the last I saw of him.

0:20:10 > 0:20:12You've been very cooperative.

0:20:13 > 0:20:16As I understand it, Mr Matthews,

0:20:16 > 0:20:19this is Miss Washburn's story.

0:20:20 > 0:20:23It's a matter of record and general knowledge

0:20:23 > 0:20:25that Miss Washburn possessed a voice

0:20:25 > 0:20:26of considerable quality once.

0:20:26 > 0:20:28She was becoming very successful

0:20:28 > 0:20:30when she lost that voice.

0:20:30 > 0:20:32Then she met Miss Caldwell,

0:20:32 > 0:20:34helped her a great deal.

0:20:34 > 0:20:35Miss Caldwell was ungrateful...

0:20:35 > 0:20:36I didn't say that.

0:20:36 > 0:20:39She just wanted to stop singing.

0:20:39 > 0:20:41You wanted to stop her from stopping.

0:20:41 > 0:20:43I wouldn't let her. I couldn't.

0:20:43 > 0:20:45It would have been my suicide.

0:20:45 > 0:20:46What are you hiding?

0:20:46 > 0:20:48Why not tell the truth?

0:20:48 > 0:20:49I am.

0:20:49 > 0:20:50I'm going downtown now.

0:20:50 > 0:20:53May I drop you anywhere, Mr Matthews?

0:20:53 > 0:20:55I haven't finished talking to Miss Washburn.

0:20:55 > 0:20:56Marian, won't you...

0:20:56 > 0:20:58Will you stop it!

0:21:01 > 0:21:03We better go, Mr Jordan.

0:21:08 > 0:21:09When Matthews finishes with Washburn,

0:21:09 > 0:21:12have the matron put her in her cell.

0:21:12 > 0:21:13Yes, Inspector.

0:21:13 > 0:21:14Take that ice off her fingers.

0:21:14 > 0:21:17She didn't drop in for tea.

0:21:17 > 0:21:18She's under arrest.

0:21:19 > 0:21:22Inspector, mind if I ask a question?

0:21:22 > 0:21:25Couldn't you sense that story wasn't on the level?

0:21:25 > 0:21:28I did think it was a little pat,

0:21:28 > 0:21:32but you'd be surprised how often the truth is pat.

0:21:32 > 0:21:37When you've been on the police force as long as I have,

0:21:37 > 0:21:40you don't get a chance to do much sensing.

0:21:40 > 0:21:42I'm not talking about intuition.

0:21:42 > 0:21:44I watched you as she spoke.

0:21:44 > 0:21:46You were bewildered.

0:21:46 > 0:21:48The person and the story just don't fit.

0:21:48 > 0:21:50She did lose me at times.

0:21:50 > 0:21:52Estrellita don't live her own life,

0:21:52 > 0:21:54she lives Miss Washburn's, too.

0:21:54 > 0:21:57Miss Washburn wanted to stop her from committing suicide,

0:21:57 > 0:21:59so she shot her, not herself, but Estrellita,

0:21:59 > 0:22:01because...

0:22:03 > 0:22:05I'll admit I've heard stories

0:22:05 > 0:22:07that make less sense than that,

0:22:07 > 0:22:09and yet, they're true.

0:22:09 > 0:22:10Yeah.

0:22:10 > 0:22:12What are you doing for lunch?

0:22:12 > 0:22:13Eating.

0:22:13 > 0:22:14How about lunch

0:22:14 > 0:22:17at the direct expense of a taxpayer?

0:22:17 > 0:22:19I'd like to show someone

0:22:19 > 0:22:21Marian couldn't have done it.

0:22:21 > 0:22:23I promise to eat slow.

0:22:28 > 0:22:30I'll have to be honest with you.

0:22:30 > 0:22:32It's not going to be hard

0:22:32 > 0:22:35for Roberts to show a jury

0:22:35 > 0:22:36why Miss Washburn...

0:22:36 > 0:22:38He'll simply point out

0:22:38 > 0:22:41she was afraid she'd lose her meal ticket.

0:22:41 > 0:22:42That's a fear most people recognise

0:22:42 > 0:22:44because they've got it themselves.

0:22:44 > 0:22:47Marian never regarded Susan as a meal ticket.

0:22:48 > 0:22:49Could be.

0:22:49 > 0:22:53But a meal ticket don't have to be looked on

0:22:53 > 0:22:54as a meal ticket...

0:22:54 > 0:22:56To be a meal ticket.

0:22:56 > 0:22:59I've known Marian for a long time.

0:22:59 > 0:23:01We started out together.

0:23:02 > 0:23:05I was a piano player and song plugger.

0:23:05 > 0:23:06There was this place

0:23:06 > 0:23:09where I played for meals and a room.

0:23:09 > 0:23:10Marian used to sing there.

0:23:10 > 0:23:12# Let him tarry

0:23:12 > 0:23:14# Let him sink or let him swim

0:23:14 > 0:23:17# He doesn't care for me

0:23:17 > 0:23:21# Nor I don't care for him

0:23:21 > 0:23:24# He can go and get another

0:23:24 > 0:23:27# That I hope he will enjoy

0:23:27 > 0:23:32# For I'm going to marry

0:23:32 > 0:23:36# A far nicer boy

0:23:38 > 0:23:41# He can go to

0:23:41 > 0:23:43# His own mother

0:23:43 > 0:23:46# And set her mind at ease

0:23:46 > 0:23:50# I hear she is a cross old woman

0:23:50 > 0:23:52# Very hard to please

0:23:52 > 0:23:55# If slighting me and talking ill

0:23:55 > 0:23:57# Is what she's always done

0:23:57 > 0:24:02# Because I was courting

0:24:02 > 0:24:07# Her great big ugly son

0:24:07 > 0:24:10# Let him go, let him tarry

0:24:10 > 0:24:12# Let him sink or let him swim

0:24:12 > 0:24:15# He doesn't care for me

0:24:15 > 0:24:18# Nor I don't care for him

0:24:18 > 0:24:20# He can go and get another

0:24:20 > 0:24:23# That I hope he will enjoy

0:24:23 > 0:24:28# For I'm going to marry

0:24:28 > 0:24:31# A far nicer boy! #

0:24:40 > 0:24:41Eat?

0:24:41 > 0:24:42That's why I was singing.

0:24:42 > 0:24:44That's why I was playing.

0:24:44 > 0:24:47One day you'll be singing that song on Broadway.

0:24:47 > 0:24:50I'll be walking outside the theatre.

0:24:50 > 0:24:51Picketing?

0:24:51 > 0:24:53I won't be able to afford a ticket.

0:24:53 > 0:24:55You can wait in my dressing room.

0:24:55 > 0:25:00I'll let you get rid of the people after my autograph.

0:25:00 > 0:25:01Make way for Miss Washburn.

0:25:01 > 0:25:05Then I'll let you pinch me so I'll wake up.

0:25:05 > 0:25:06Ow!

0:25:06 > 0:25:07Nothing like a good rehearsal.

0:25:08 > 0:25:10Got a little more time?

0:25:10 > 0:25:13As long as they don't run out of coffee.

0:25:13 > 0:25:14Miss?

0:25:15 > 0:25:17Bring some more coffee

0:25:17 > 0:25:19and keep on bringing coffee.

0:25:19 > 0:25:21Marian never got to be a star,

0:25:21 > 0:25:22but she would've been.

0:25:22 > 0:25:25She'd been featured in some musicals.

0:25:25 > 0:25:27She was a year away.

0:25:27 > 0:25:28I know...

0:25:28 > 0:25:29Sorry.

0:25:29 > 0:25:31I know what I'm talking about.

0:25:31 > 0:25:34I used to play the piano for her.

0:25:34 > 0:25:36And then suddenly one night...

0:25:36 > 0:25:38What happened?

0:25:38 > 0:25:40I was in her dressing room...

0:25:42 > 0:25:43Lie down, Marian.

0:25:43 > 0:25:45What's the matter?

0:25:45 > 0:25:46Try to get doc Calvin.

0:25:46 > 0:25:47What happened?

0:25:49 > 0:25:51Oh, Luke...

0:25:51 > 0:25:53I was almost finished my number...

0:25:53 > 0:25:55You're not to talk.

0:25:55 > 0:25:57She suddenly lost her voice,

0:25:57 > 0:25:58middle of the chorus.

0:25:58 > 0:26:00I didn't really lose my voice.

0:26:00 > 0:26:03It just didn't sound like her voice.

0:26:03 > 0:26:04It's hard to explain.

0:26:04 > 0:26:06She probably needs a nice rest.

0:26:06 > 0:26:09I've got the queerest feeling, like...

0:26:09 > 0:26:10Marian.

0:26:10 > 0:26:11She mustn't talk.

0:26:11 > 0:26:13Keep quiet.

0:26:13 > 0:26:15That means you don't say a word, understand?

0:26:15 > 0:26:17When you get your voice back,

0:26:17 > 0:26:20you can tell me all about it.

0:26:20 > 0:26:21I understand.

0:26:21 > 0:26:24I'm being very silly, aren't I?

0:26:24 > 0:26:27You say another word, and I'll slug you.

0:26:27 > 0:26:29You're sweet.

0:26:32 > 0:26:34Five will get you ten

0:26:34 > 0:26:37you don't even miss tomorrow night's show.

0:26:43 > 0:26:45But she did miss the next night's show.

0:26:45 > 0:26:48They used an understudy a while

0:26:48 > 0:26:49but finally had to close.

0:26:49 > 0:26:51That's how good she was.

0:26:51 > 0:26:53What was the matter?

0:26:53 > 0:26:55First they thought it was just plain laryngitis.

0:26:55 > 0:26:57Then they found out

0:26:57 > 0:26:59it was some rare type of laryngitis

0:26:59 > 0:27:02none of the doctors knew anything about.

0:27:05 > 0:27:06Good coffee.

0:27:06 > 0:27:09It was months before they let her use her voice.

0:27:09 > 0:27:12Then, I guess a year later,

0:27:12 > 0:27:13she started singing again.

0:27:13 > 0:27:14Privately.

0:27:14 > 0:27:16Finally she went to Paul Camilli,

0:27:16 > 0:27:18her teacher's studio,

0:27:18 > 0:27:19for a professional opinion.

0:27:19 > 0:27:22She knew he'd give it to her straight.

0:27:29 > 0:27:31Well, what about it?

0:27:38 > 0:27:39What about it, Paul?

0:27:43 > 0:27:44You tell me.

0:28:01 > 0:28:06# I'm just a woman that loved a man

0:28:06 > 0:28:09# But our house of love was built on sand

0:28:09 > 0:28:13# While it lasted, ah, it was grand... #

0:28:13 > 0:28:15OK, Paul.

0:28:15 > 0:28:17That's the way I used to sing.

0:28:17 > 0:28:18Turn it off!

0:28:18 > 0:28:21There's really nothing wrong with your voice...

0:28:21 > 0:28:23Except that there's just no voice.

0:28:23 > 0:28:25Come on, Luke.

0:28:25 > 0:28:27If you'd like to keep on working,

0:28:27 > 0:28:29I could clear some time.

0:28:29 > 0:28:31No, thank you.

0:28:31 > 0:28:32Just a minute.

0:28:32 > 0:28:33What is it, Luke?

0:28:38 > 0:28:40Why did you do that?

0:28:40 > 0:28:42I thought I'd feel better.

0:28:42 > 0:28:43Be seeing you, Professor.

0:28:43 > 0:28:45Don't take any fake grace notes.

0:28:45 > 0:28:47You can still get a lot of parts.

0:28:47 > 0:28:50Not the kind I want. I want to sing.

0:28:50 > 0:28:52HE WHISTLES

0:28:55 > 0:28:58If I can't sing the way I want to,

0:28:58 > 0:29:00even the way I used to,

0:29:00 > 0:29:03I don't want to sing at all.

0:29:03 > 0:29:04There are other things.

0:29:04 > 0:29:06Like what?

0:29:06 > 0:29:08I could open a bookshop

0:29:08 > 0:29:11or hat store, or...

0:29:11 > 0:29:12I could get married.

0:29:12 > 0:29:14You sure could.

0:29:14 > 0:29:16Remind me to talk to you

0:29:16 > 0:29:17about that very subject.

0:29:17 > 0:29:19Are you proposing to me?

0:29:20 > 0:29:21No.

0:29:23 > 0:29:25HE WHISTLES

0:29:35 > 0:29:36Afraid I'll accept?

0:29:36 > 0:29:38Afraid you won't.

0:29:39 > 0:29:42Now that we know we're both safe,

0:29:42 > 0:29:44how about having dinner at my place?

0:29:44 > 0:29:48After I stop at the rehearsal hall, try out some people.

0:29:48 > 0:29:49Want to come along? Sure.

0:29:50 > 0:29:51HE WHISTLES

0:29:51 > 0:29:54LUKE: I've always wondered what would have happened

0:29:54 > 0:29:55if I hadn't persuaded Marian

0:29:55 > 0:29:58to drop in at that rehearsal.

0:29:58 > 0:30:01There was no way of knowing what we would run into

0:30:01 > 0:30:04after I tried out a lot of talent

0:30:04 > 0:30:05that didn't have any.

0:30:09 > 0:30:10Luke.

0:30:10 > 0:30:12Luke, she's fainted.

0:30:12 > 0:30:13Looks like.

0:30:20 > 0:30:22Hello.

0:30:22 > 0:30:23I won a bet.

0:30:23 > 0:30:25They don't say, "Where am I?"

0:30:25 > 0:30:27You think I fainted?

0:30:27 > 0:30:29Here, let me help you.

0:30:29 > 0:30:32Sit down over here and rest a bit.

0:30:38 > 0:30:40My girlfriend over in handbags,

0:30:40 > 0:30:42she told me this would happen -

0:30:42 > 0:30:44a person not eating for weeks,

0:30:44 > 0:30:47only a cup of coffee in the morning.

0:30:47 > 0:30:50I just did a tap dance for Mr Archer.

0:30:50 > 0:30:52Guess that did it. No strength.

0:30:52 > 0:30:54He said I couldn't dance.

0:30:54 > 0:30:56Trying out for the show?

0:30:56 > 0:30:57I work at Norman's. Perfumes.

0:30:57 > 0:31:00Luke, get a cab, please.

0:31:00 > 0:31:01Don't I always?

0:31:08 > 0:31:10I can't ever remember

0:31:10 > 0:31:12eating two plates of soup before.

0:31:12 > 0:31:14You can still change your mind

0:31:14 > 0:31:15and have some milk.

0:31:15 > 0:31:17No, thanks.

0:31:17 > 0:31:20This is what I'd like if I had an apartment -

0:31:20 > 0:31:23an imitation fireplace with a gas log.

0:31:23 > 0:31:25Makes things homey.

0:31:25 > 0:31:28Susie, mind if I ask you a question?

0:31:28 > 0:31:29No. Go right ahead. >

0:31:29 > 0:31:32What you were saying in the rehearsal hall

0:31:32 > 0:31:33about not eating for weeks -

0:31:33 > 0:31:35what's the idea,

0:31:35 > 0:31:37a diet, an election bet?

0:31:37 > 0:31:38No money.

0:31:38 > 0:31:41Don't they pay you pretty well at Norman's?

0:31:41 > 0:31:42Well, I think so.

0:31:42 > 0:31:44It's none of your business.

0:31:44 > 0:31:46Maybe she's sending money home.

0:31:46 > 0:31:49No. Ever since I came to New York,

0:31:49 > 0:31:51I've wanted to see this fortune teller.

0:31:51 > 0:31:54- 100 a visit. - What?

0:31:54 > 0:31:56So, I saved up.

0:31:56 > 0:31:59How was I to know he really can't tell much

0:31:59 > 0:32:01in less than three visits?

0:32:03 > 0:32:06You're on your feet all day.

0:32:06 > 0:32:08You go without food for weeks

0:32:08 > 0:32:10to pay a fortune teller 100 a visit?

0:32:10 > 0:32:12No sense going except to the best.

0:32:12 > 0:32:15Since you came to New York...

0:32:15 > 0:32:16where are you from?

0:32:16 > 0:32:17Azusa.

0:32:18 > 0:32:20Azusa, California.

0:32:20 > 0:32:22Azusa?

0:32:22 > 0:32:23It's a made-up word.

0:32:23 > 0:32:25Different letters, they put them together.

0:32:25 > 0:32:28Everything from A to Z. USA.

0:32:28 > 0:32:30Azusa.

0:32:30 > 0:32:31I still don't get it.

0:32:31 > 0:32:34What does the USA stand for?

0:32:35 > 0:32:38United States of America.

0:32:38 > 0:32:40Everybody knows that.

0:32:40 > 0:32:42LUKE: Ohh.

0:32:42 > 0:32:43United States of America.

0:32:43 > 0:32:46How did you happen to come to New York?

0:32:46 > 0:32:49I thought I'd get a job in a show.

0:32:49 > 0:32:51To tell you the truth,

0:32:51 > 0:32:54there was a little scandal back in Azusa.

0:32:54 > 0:32:57Mrs Burgell offered me money to come to New York.

0:32:57 > 0:32:58Oh, a little scandal.

0:32:58 > 0:33:00Tell us about it.

0:33:00 > 0:33:02There wasn't much to it.

0:33:02 > 0:33:04Mrs Burgell wanted to get me away

0:33:04 > 0:33:06from that crazy husband of hers.

0:33:06 > 0:33:08That was all, huh?

0:33:08 > 0:33:10She was out of her mind -

0:33:10 > 0:33:12as if I'd have anything to do

0:33:12 > 0:33:15with a man twice my age.

0:33:15 > 0:33:16Why, he was 36.

0:33:16 > 0:33:18I thought she was joking

0:33:18 > 0:33:22- when she said he'd asked for a divorce. Wouldn't you? - Well, I...

0:33:22 > 0:33:23Working in a cafe,

0:33:23 > 0:33:25you have regular customers

0:33:25 > 0:33:27that drop in for laughs.

0:33:27 > 0:33:28How was I to know

0:33:28 > 0:33:31Mr Burgell would ask Mrs Burgell for a divorce?

0:33:31 > 0:33:34Mr Burgell's the richest man there.

0:33:34 > 0:33:36Smudge pots and pest control.

0:33:36 > 0:33:37It's got to be true.

0:33:37 > 0:33:39Nobody could invent that.

0:33:40 > 0:33:42Smudge pots and pest control.

0:33:42 > 0:33:44You're not the least bit funny.

0:33:44 > 0:33:45He don't bother me.

0:33:45 > 0:33:47You think you're so smart.

0:33:47 > 0:33:48I bet you don't understand

0:33:48 > 0:33:50there wasn't a thing

0:33:50 > 0:33:52between me and Mr Burgell.

0:33:52 > 0:33:54I apologise.

0:33:54 > 0:33:55Apology accepted

0:33:55 > 0:33:57and no offence taken, I'm sure.

0:33:57 > 0:33:59Thank you very much, I'm sure.

0:33:59 > 0:34:01Gladly.

0:34:04 > 0:34:08I don't want to be selling perfume all my life.

0:34:08 > 0:34:10Now I don't see what else.

0:34:10 > 0:34:13I didn't even ask Mr Archer to listen to me sing.

0:34:13 > 0:34:16If I was that wrong about my dancing...

0:34:16 > 0:34:17You sing, too?

0:34:17 > 0:34:20I just told you - probably awful.

0:34:20 > 0:34:21Don't you know?

0:34:21 > 0:34:23I thought I knew.

0:34:23 > 0:34:26Nobody sees things in New York same as in Azusa.

0:34:26 > 0:34:27Sing us a song.

0:34:27 > 0:34:30I play the piano. I'll accompany you.

0:34:30 > 0:34:33Anything popular I can play for you.

0:34:33 > 0:34:34Do you know Paradise?

0:34:34 > 0:34:36Paradise. >

0:34:36 > 0:34:39I should have guessed. Just happens I do.

0:34:39 > 0:34:41I'll take some water first.

0:34:41 > 0:34:43It clears your throat, you know.

0:34:49 > 0:34:51SHE GULPS

0:35:03 > 0:35:05All clear?

0:35:05 > 0:35:06Whenever you're ready.

0:35:09 > 0:35:10Ahem.

0:35:13 > 0:35:17# I'm just a woman That loved a man

0:35:17 > 0:35:23# But our house of love Was built on sand

0:35:23 > 0:35:30# While it lasted Ah, it was grand

0:35:30 > 0:35:32# My love

0:35:34 > 0:35:39# We lived and loved Our day is through

0:35:39 > 0:35:45# But each night in dreams It started anew

0:35:54 > 0:35:58# My love

0:36:06 > 0:36:13# Mm-mm mmm mm-mmm mm-mmm

0:36:13 > 0:36:18# And then I understand

0:36:18 > 0:36:26# Mm-mm mmm mm-mmm mm-mmm

0:36:26 > 0:36:33# His eyes afire with one desire

0:36:33 > 0:36:38# Then a heavenly kiss

0:36:38 > 0:36:45# Could I resist?

0:36:45 > 0:36:51# And then he dims the light

0:36:51 > 0:36:58# Mm-mm mmm mm-mmm mm-mmm

0:36:58 > 0:37:03# And then he holds me tight

0:37:17 > 0:37:24# Will lead the way to happiness

0:37:41 > 0:37:42Thank you.

0:37:42 > 0:37:44Thank you.

0:37:47 > 0:37:50She happened to have one of those voices.

0:37:50 > 0:37:54Of course, the range wasn't more than four or five notes,

0:37:54 > 0:37:56but they were the sort

0:37:56 > 0:37:58that go down your spine

0:37:58 > 0:38:00and directly into your heart.

0:38:00 > 0:38:01I know that's a detour,

0:38:01 > 0:38:03but right from the beginning,

0:38:03 > 0:38:05you might say she had A...

0:38:05 > 0:38:08she had a voice with hormones.

0:38:08 > 0:38:10Marian knew here was a voice

0:38:10 > 0:38:12she had to do something about.

0:38:12 > 0:38:14That's all it meant to her.

0:38:14 > 0:38:16That's why it doesn't fit -

0:38:16 > 0:38:18her caring about the money

0:38:18 > 0:38:20or being jealous of Susan's success.

0:38:20 > 0:38:23Maybe she was jealous of something else.

0:38:23 > 0:38:25You mean jealous of me?

0:38:25 > 0:38:26To tell the truth,

0:38:26 > 0:38:29I think she was once or twice,

0:38:29 > 0:38:31but she was wrong.

0:38:42 > 0:38:44This Miss Caldwell's room?

0:38:44 > 0:38:45That's right.

0:38:45 > 0:38:46I'm Luke Jordan,

0:38:46 > 0:38:49an old friend of Miss Caldwell's.

0:38:49 > 0:38:51They told me nobody was allowed,

0:38:51 > 0:38:54but I thought I'd talk to you.

0:38:54 > 0:38:56Not a chance.

0:39:01 > 0:39:03What's her condition?

0:39:03 > 0:39:04She's been shot.

0:39:04 > 0:39:06I know that.

0:39:06 > 0:39:08So, that's her condition.

0:39:08 > 0:39:09Thanks(!)

0:39:09 > 0:39:12There's no-one allowed to hang around here.

0:39:12 > 0:39:14The waiting room is down the hall.

0:39:14 > 0:39:17There's another friend of hers there.

0:39:17 > 0:39:18Cup of tea, officer?

0:39:18 > 0:39:21OK. A cup of tea.

0:39:21 > 0:39:23That's the worst thing about these jobs.

0:39:23 > 0:39:25Chief, that room marked "waiting room",

0:39:25 > 0:39:27is that the waiting room?

0:39:41 > 0:39:43I beg your pardon.

0:39:43 > 0:39:45I'm Luke Jordan.

0:39:45 > 0:39:49They told me a friend of Miss Caldwell's was here.

0:39:49 > 0:39:50Do you know her?

0:39:50 > 0:39:51What about it?

0:39:51 > 0:39:54I thought I knew everyone she knew.

0:39:54 > 0:39:56Seems you don't know them all.

0:39:56 > 0:39:59They told you anything about her condition?

0:39:59 > 0:40:02I'm waiting to see the doctor myself,

0:40:02 > 0:40:04and if anything should happen to her,

0:40:04 > 0:40:07I'll make it my personal business

0:40:07 > 0:40:10to stay in New York until they send that...

0:40:10 > 0:40:12Miss Marian Washburn to the electric chair.

0:40:19 > 0:40:21What makes you so sure she did it?

0:40:21 > 0:40:23Are you crazy?

0:40:23 > 0:40:24Don't you read the papers?

0:40:24 > 0:40:26She confessed, didn't she?

0:40:26 > 0:40:28Do you know Miss Washburn?

0:40:28 > 0:40:32I met her in France same time I met Susan.

0:40:32 > 0:40:35Couple of weeks ago, Susan was at the Third Army reunion,

0:40:35 > 0:40:37and I saw her again.

0:40:37 > 0:40:41So you're the soldier she met at the canteen.

0:40:41 > 0:40:42Any objections?

0:40:42 > 0:40:44The guy that goes around

0:40:44 > 0:40:45giving away Lugers as souvenirs.

0:40:45 > 0:40:47I liberated that Luger.

0:40:47 > 0:40:49I gave it to her. That's my business.

0:40:49 > 0:40:51You're getting all worked up

0:40:51 > 0:40:53for no reason at all, Mr...

0:40:53 > 0:40:56What did you say your name was?

0:40:56 > 0:40:57Lee Crenshaw,

0:40:57 > 0:41:01and I don't aim to tell you that more than once.

0:41:02 > 0:41:04What have you got against Marian?

0:41:04 > 0:41:05Isn't shooting Susan enough?

0:41:05 > 0:41:07I hope they hang her.

0:41:11 > 0:41:13I got a notion, Mr Crenshaw,

0:41:13 > 0:41:15that before you leave New York,

0:41:15 > 0:41:18I'm going to poke you in the nose.

0:41:18 > 0:41:20Any time.

0:41:20 > 0:41:21Any time.

0:41:21 > 0:41:23A little less noise, please. >

0:41:23 > 0:41:24This is a hospital. >

0:41:24 > 0:41:27Yeah. I'm sorry, Nurse.

0:41:27 > 0:41:30I'll be seeing you, Mr Crenshaw.

0:41:30 > 0:41:32Any time.

0:41:32 > 0:41:33Any time.

0:41:42 > 0:41:43RADIO: 'On 49th Street

0:41:43 > 0:41:45'between 8th and 9th Avenues.'

0:41:45 > 0:41:47Not on your day off.

0:41:47 > 0:41:50A cop don't have a day off.

0:41:50 > 0:41:51Well, his wife ought to.

0:41:51 > 0:41:55Got your shoes off, hmm?

0:41:55 > 0:41:57Hmm. I kind of had an idea...

0:41:57 > 0:41:58Let's have it.

0:41:58 > 0:42:01Why aren't we going to the movies tonight?

0:42:01 > 0:42:04A Mr Luke Jordan wants to see me.

0:42:04 > 0:42:06Maybe you'd like to invite him for dinner.

0:42:06 > 0:42:09It's about Estrellita, the one on the radio.

0:42:09 > 0:42:11Nearly got herself killed last night.

0:42:11 > 0:42:13I read the papers.

0:42:13 > 0:42:16Even though my husband knows all the secrets,

0:42:16 > 0:42:18I can still read the papers.

0:42:18 > 0:42:19Got it all solved?

0:42:19 > 0:42:22Mm-hmm. It's your Mr Luke Jordan.

0:42:22 > 0:42:23Really?

0:42:23 > 0:42:25Why?

0:42:25 > 0:42:27Well, it couldn't be Marian Washburn.

0:42:27 > 0:42:28Why not?

0:42:28 > 0:42:29Jim.

0:42:29 > 0:42:31Oh, I forgot.

0:42:31 > 0:42:32She confessed, didn't she?

0:42:32 > 0:42:34That automatically eliminates her

0:42:34 > 0:42:36according to those detective stories, doesn't it?

0:42:36 > 0:42:39What makes you think it wasn't the butler?

0:42:39 > 0:42:41They didn't have a butler.

0:42:42 > 0:42:43Hmm. Bright girl.

0:42:43 > 0:42:45DOORBELL RINGS

0:42:45 > 0:42:46That's the doorbell.

0:42:46 > 0:42:48I know it's the doorbell.

0:42:49 > 0:42:51'Calling all cars.

0:42:51 > 0:42:52'Calling all cars.'

0:42:52 > 0:42:54I'm Luke Jordan.

0:42:54 > 0:42:56Come in. I'm Mrs Fowler.

0:42:56 > 0:42:57< Hello, Jordan.

0:42:57 > 0:42:59Sorry to break in on a quiet afternoon.

0:42:59 > 0:43:01When I called the inspector's office,

0:43:01 > 0:43:03they told me...

0:43:03 > 0:43:04That's quite all right.

0:43:04 > 0:43:06This is simply an extra office,

0:43:06 > 0:43:08but with all the comforts of home.

0:43:08 > 0:43:11He can't walk around headquarters in stocking feet.

0:43:11 > 0:43:12Mrs Fowler doesn't realise

0:43:12 > 0:43:15that crime goes on 24 hours a day.

0:43:15 > 0:43:17That's what my mother told me about marriage,

0:43:17 > 0:43:19only I found it wasn't so.

0:43:19 > 0:43:21Won't you sit down?

0:43:21 > 0:43:22Thank you.

0:43:24 > 0:43:26Oh, about Mr Lee Crenshaw...

0:43:26 > 0:43:28How did you know about Lee Crenshaw?

0:43:28 > 0:43:30Why do you think

0:43:30 > 0:43:32there's a policeman outside her door?

0:43:32 > 0:43:33Anybody inquiring, we check.

0:43:33 > 0:43:35Born in a little place

0:43:35 > 0:43:37about 60 miles from New Orleans,

0:43:37 > 0:43:38Lafitte Parish.

0:43:38 > 0:43:40Had an excellent war record.

0:43:40 > 0:43:43Been working in a sporting goods shop.

0:43:43 > 0:43:44The inspector found that out

0:43:44 > 0:43:47just on his day off without leaving home.

0:43:47 > 0:43:48Carrier pigeon.

0:43:48 > 0:43:52By the way, you're staying for dinner if you like.

0:43:52 > 0:43:53I'd like very much,

0:43:53 > 0:43:56but I'm going to keep on talking

0:43:56 > 0:43:58until we stumble on something

0:43:58 > 0:43:59that will clear it up.

0:43:59 > 0:44:01I've known a long time

0:44:01 > 0:44:02detective work was stumbling.

0:44:02 > 0:44:05How come you to catch on?

0:44:05 > 0:44:08Start in where you left off at lunch.

0:44:08 > 0:44:10At lunch?

0:44:10 > 0:44:11We had lunch together.

0:44:11 > 0:44:14He told me how he and Miss Washburn met Estrellita.

0:44:14 > 0:44:16Oh, he did, did he?

0:44:16 > 0:44:19All I know is that when you got home

0:44:19 > 0:44:22you ran out of small talk awfully quick.

0:44:22 > 0:44:23Probably didn't even have lunch.

0:44:23 > 0:44:26Nothing except how hot it was downtown

0:44:26 > 0:44:27and...

0:44:27 > 0:44:29how hot it was downtown.

0:44:30 > 0:44:32Go ahead, Jordan.

0:44:32 > 0:44:33Yeah.

0:44:33 > 0:44:35Well, I've never known anybody

0:44:35 > 0:44:37work harder than Marian did

0:44:37 > 0:44:39trying to make a star out of Susan.

0:44:39 > 0:44:42She had to have all the ambition

0:44:42 > 0:44:43for both of them.

0:44:43 > 0:44:45Susan was willing.

0:44:45 > 0:44:47It wasn't hard taking the notion

0:44:47 > 0:44:48she'd be successful and famous,

0:44:48 > 0:44:51but she never tied it to anything she had to do.

0:44:51 > 0:44:53That's how I became involved

0:44:53 > 0:44:55more than I might have.

0:44:55 > 0:44:56Susan - Estrellita, that is,

0:44:56 > 0:45:00she fell in love with you, is that it?

0:45:00 > 0:45:02No, no.

0:45:02 > 0:45:04Susan never fell in love with anybody...

0:45:04 > 0:45:05except Susan.

0:45:05 > 0:45:08What I meant was that from the beginning

0:45:08 > 0:45:09Susan had to be...

0:45:09 > 0:45:11she had to be courted.

0:45:11 > 0:45:12You had to remind her

0:45:12 > 0:45:15that she was going to be a great star.

0:45:15 > 0:45:16She'd keep complaining

0:45:16 > 0:45:19she worked hard all day at Norman's...

0:45:19 > 0:45:20Norman's?

0:45:20 > 0:45:21She sold perfumes there.

0:45:21 > 0:45:23I didn't know.

0:45:23 > 0:45:24It was in the papers.

0:45:24 > 0:45:26Thank you very much.

0:45:26 > 0:45:29I spent every minute of her spare time with her.

0:45:29 > 0:45:31Otherwise, she'd make new friends

0:45:31 > 0:45:34that took up so much of her time

0:45:34 > 0:45:35she wouldn't show up

0:45:35 > 0:45:37for the lessons Marian had arranged.

0:45:37 > 0:45:39Marian had to show her what to wear,

0:45:39 > 0:45:42what to say, what not to say.

0:45:42 > 0:45:44That can be pretty important,

0:45:44 > 0:45:46knowing what not to say.

0:45:46 > 0:45:47I'll say.

0:45:47 > 0:45:51So it didn't break my heart when Marian took Susan to Paris. >

0:45:51 > 0:45:52What for?

0:45:52 > 0:45:54You don't need a "what for" to go to Paris.

0:45:54 > 0:45:57She thought it would give her

0:45:57 > 0:45:59a kind of veneer she needed.

0:45:59 > 0:46:01I heard from Marian now and then,

0:46:01 > 0:46:03and then I didn't hear.

0:46:03 > 0:46:05Then I got a letter.

0:46:05 > 0:46:08She didn't say anything about my coming to Paris,

0:46:08 > 0:46:09but I thought I ought to,

0:46:09 > 0:46:11as quick as I could.

0:46:11 > 0:46:14I got myself a job on a tramp steamer.

0:46:14 > 0:46:16They had a three-piece orchestra -

0:46:16 > 0:46:19piano, piano stool, and piano player.

0:46:19 > 0:46:21I was the piano player.

0:46:27 > 0:46:29Au revoir, madame.

0:46:35 > 0:46:36Entrez. >

0:46:38 > 0:46:39Luke.

0:46:39 > 0:46:41May I come in?

0:46:41 > 0:46:42Oh, Luke.

0:46:42 > 0:46:44I'm so glad to see you.

0:46:44 > 0:46:46When did you get here?

0:46:46 > 0:46:48About an hour ago.

0:46:48 > 0:46:49How did you get here?

0:46:49 > 0:46:50Walked.

0:46:50 > 0:46:53I came soon as I got your letter

0:46:53 > 0:46:55saying you were worried, to come right over.

0:46:55 > 0:46:57I didn't write you

0:46:57 > 0:47:00that I wanted you to come right over.

0:47:00 > 0:47:01I know you didn't.

0:47:04 > 0:47:05So this is Paris.

0:47:05 > 0:47:06Paris, France.

0:47:06 > 0:47:08Or that I was worried.

0:47:08 > 0:47:11No, but you wrote me two long letters

0:47:11 > 0:47:13about how beautiful

0:47:13 > 0:47:14the chestnut trees were,

0:47:14 > 0:47:15the Champs Elysees,

0:47:15 > 0:47:17the Punch and Judy shows,

0:47:17 > 0:47:20and the lights on the bridges at night,

0:47:20 > 0:47:24and you never said one word about Susan,

0:47:24 > 0:47:26so I knew.

0:47:39 > 0:47:42Whatever it is, it can't be your fault.

0:47:46 > 0:47:49Don't you realise what we've done?

0:47:49 > 0:47:50What I've done?

0:47:50 > 0:47:52I've changed the whole course of her life.

0:47:52 > 0:47:56She would have been happy the way things were.

0:47:56 > 0:47:57She might have gone home.

0:47:57 > 0:47:58To Azusa?

0:47:58 > 0:48:00You mustn't ever take people

0:48:00 > 0:48:03and try making them something they're not,

0:48:03 > 0:48:05something to suit yourself,

0:48:05 > 0:48:07something you wanted to be.

0:48:07 > 0:48:08Pretend they're marionettes.

0:48:08 > 0:48:09Control them by wires.

0:48:09 > 0:48:13Then they stop having a life of their own.

0:48:13 > 0:48:17Now I'm responsible for her as long as she lives, Luke.

0:48:17 > 0:48:19Well, I could argue that.

0:48:19 > 0:48:22But in the meantime, what really happened?

0:48:23 > 0:48:24Well...

0:48:24 > 0:48:26I haven't seen her for...

0:48:26 > 0:48:29it'll be six weeks tomorrow.

0:48:29 > 0:48:30Did you fight?

0:48:30 > 0:48:31No.

0:48:33 > 0:48:37It's just that one day she met a man.

0:48:37 > 0:48:40This one sold Bata shoes to the Arabs in Marrakech,

0:48:40 > 0:48:43and he put ideas into her head.

0:48:43 > 0:48:44For instance?

0:48:44 > 0:48:46He recommended her

0:48:46 > 0:48:49to the manager of a little opera company

0:48:49 > 0:48:50leaving for North Africa.

0:48:50 > 0:48:53She didn't believe in all this study,

0:48:53 > 0:48:55so she left.

0:48:55 > 0:48:56Where is she now?

0:48:56 > 0:48:59Some little place in Algiers.

0:48:59 > 0:49:02I got a card from her yesterday.

0:49:04 > 0:49:06All the beautiful clothes I bought for her,

0:49:06 > 0:49:08and they were so right,

0:49:08 > 0:49:11and she left them all behind.

0:49:11 > 0:49:13She took what she was wearing

0:49:13 > 0:49:16and a red chiffon dress she bought herself.

0:49:16 > 0:49:18That's what you mind, the red chiffon -

0:49:18 > 0:49:20her following her own taste.

0:49:20 > 0:49:23I think she resented me because she missed you.

0:49:23 > 0:49:26I've told you Susan doesn't mean a thing to me.

0:49:26 > 0:49:28You don't have to yell!

0:49:28 > 0:49:31You don't hear what I'm saying unless I yell.

0:49:31 > 0:49:32Correct me if I'm wrong,

0:49:32 > 0:49:35you dropped everything, didn't you, and came here

0:49:35 > 0:49:38because you thought she was in trouble.

0:49:41 > 0:49:43All right.

0:49:43 > 0:49:48I dropped everything as soon as I figured Susan was in trouble.

0:49:48 > 0:49:50Let me have that card.

0:49:50 > 0:49:51I'll bring her back.

0:49:57 > 0:50:00I... I didn't mean to holler at you.

0:50:00 > 0:50:01I hollered at you.

0:50:01 > 0:50:03You did, didn't you?

0:50:03 > 0:50:06Here. I imagine the sooner you go, the better.

0:50:06 > 0:50:09Can't I even stay in Paris long enough

0:50:09 > 0:50:12to get into a fight with a waiter?

0:50:12 > 0:50:14You have the most wonderful way

0:50:14 > 0:50:16of inviting a girl to dinner.

0:50:16 > 0:50:18I have, haven't I?

0:50:18 > 0:50:20You know something? I like Paris.

0:50:20 > 0:50:22You never have trouble

0:50:22 > 0:50:24finding somebody to eat with.

0:50:25 > 0:50:29I have to put on my jacket and my hat.

0:50:32 > 0:50:34A shoe salesman!

0:50:34 > 0:50:36And I have to go to Algiers.

0:50:41 > 0:50:44CONVERSATIONS IN ARABIC

0:50:58 > 0:51:01CONVERSATION INAUDIBLE

0:51:03 > 0:51:04Bonjour, monsieur.

0:51:04 > 0:51:05Bonjour.

0:51:05 > 0:51:08Oh! American mister. A table for you.

0:51:08 > 0:51:09Thanks.

0:51:09 > 0:51:11We got an American bar.

0:51:11 > 0:51:13All kinds of cocktails.

0:51:13 > 0:51:14Whiskey, scotch.

0:51:14 > 0:51:17Just like Americans like.

0:51:17 > 0:51:18I'll have a beer.

0:51:18 > 0:51:20I'm looking for a friend.

0:51:20 > 0:51:22A girl named Susan Caldwell.

0:51:22 > 0:51:25Sure. Crazy American. Kills all the people.

0:51:25 > 0:51:27I get her.

0:51:40 > 0:51:42Oh! Luke!

0:51:49 > 0:51:52Oh, Luke, I'm so glad to see you.

0:51:52 > 0:51:54And I'm so glad to see you.

0:51:54 > 0:51:55Red chiffon all right.

0:51:55 > 0:51:57What?

0:51:57 > 0:51:58Nothing.

0:51:58 > 0:51:59Uh, OK.

0:52:02 > 0:52:03Marian got your card.

0:52:03 > 0:52:06Well, I was wondering how you got here.

0:52:06 > 0:52:08What happened to the opera company?

0:52:08 > 0:52:09That was the funniest thing.

0:52:09 > 0:52:11After everything this fellow told me,

0:52:11 > 0:52:13there wasn't any opera company.

0:52:13 > 0:52:14He was a liar.

0:52:14 > 0:52:17No opera company?! Well, well.

0:52:17 > 0:52:21That Mr La Salle gave me the recommend to the opera company.

0:52:21 > 0:52:23The same fellow that sold the shoes?

0:52:23 > 0:52:25He won't be selling anything for a long time.

0:52:25 > 0:52:28A couple of the others tried to talk to me, too.

0:52:28 > 0:52:30I nearly broke one of their arms.

0:52:30 > 0:52:32I mean, one of them, I nearly broke his arm.

0:52:32 > 0:52:35What brings you here?

0:52:35 > 0:52:37I didn't write Marian right away

0:52:37 > 0:52:40because she'd get me right back to Paris.

0:52:40 > 0:52:41I wanted a vacation.

0:52:41 > 0:52:42A vacation from Paris?

0:52:42 > 0:52:45That Marian, Luke. You've got no idea.

0:52:47 > 0:52:49What about that Marian?

0:52:49 > 0:52:50She never let me alone.

0:52:50 > 0:52:53Having me study French was bad enough,

0:52:53 > 0:52:55but when she started talking about me studying English...

0:52:55 > 0:52:58Well, a person can take just so much.

0:52:58 > 0:53:00Yeah, a person certainly can.

0:53:00 > 0:53:02Well, if it wasn't for you...

0:53:03 > 0:53:05You'll never leave me, will you?

0:53:05 > 0:53:09Even if I get to be successful. Promise?

0:53:10 > 0:53:12I promise.

0:53:12 > 0:53:14Marian's all alone back in Paris.

0:53:14 > 0:53:17I think it would be just common decency of you to...

0:53:17 > 0:53:19I'll go back to Paris if you say so

0:53:19 > 0:53:23because around here, if I never eat raw sheep again, I...

0:53:23 > 0:53:26Oh, Luke, I'm so glad you came.

0:53:26 > 0:53:28I take it you mean that as a compliment,

0:53:28 > 0:53:29so thank you.

0:53:29 > 0:53:32It's funny. The minute the ship leaves New York,

0:53:32 > 0:53:35every place is full of foreigners.

0:53:35 > 0:53:38You don't say(?) Makes it tough, doesn't it?

0:53:38 > 0:53:40Well, it's been going on for a long time.

0:53:44 > 0:53:45Wait a minute.

0:53:45 > 0:53:46What's the matter?

0:53:46 > 0:53:50That piano player, if you'll pardon the expression.

0:53:51 > 0:53:54Five will get you ten he's trying to play Estrellita.

0:53:54 > 0:53:58Oh...what's that? Huh? What's Estrellita?

0:53:58 > 0:54:00Oh, yeah. I forgot about you.

0:54:00 > 0:54:02Maybe if you hear it played right,

0:54:02 > 0:54:03you'll recognise it. Excuse me.

0:54:09 > 0:54:11PIANIST STOPS PLAYING

0:54:12 > 0:54:14Thank you.

0:54:38 > 0:54:43# Tenderly whisper

0:54:43 > 0:54:48# Dearest one, I love you so

0:54:48 > 0:54:54# My heart is yours

0:54:54 > 0:54:57# Alone

0:54:57 > 0:55:01# Oh, lantern of night

0:55:01 > 0:55:04# In the blue above

0:55:04 > 0:55:08# Keep burning for me

0:55:08 > 0:55:13# With the flame of love

0:55:14 > 0:55:17# Till your light

0:55:17 > 0:55:21# With dawn becomes

0:55:21 > 0:55:25# An ember

0:55:27 > 0:55:32# Tell him of my love

0:55:32 > 0:55:37# Oh, gentle star

0:55:37 > 0:55:42# And guide him back

0:55:42 > 0:55:50# To me. #

0:55:59 > 0:56:01That winds up as good a ship's concert

0:56:01 > 0:56:02as I've ever heard.

0:56:02 > 0:56:05Don't you agree? Sure you do.

0:56:07 > 0:56:09Mother, would you excuse me a moment?

0:56:09 > 0:56:11Oh, by all means, Brook.

0:56:19 > 0:56:20Even onboard ship,

0:56:20 > 0:56:23you know, it's a habit Brook can't get away from.

0:56:23 > 0:56:25He HAS to go backstage.

0:56:30 > 0:56:32I beg your pardon, Miss Washburn.

0:56:32 > 0:56:34I'm not sure you remember me.

0:56:34 > 0:56:36I once represented a client

0:56:36 > 0:56:38who invested in a show you were in.

0:56:38 > 0:56:40I had the pleasure...

0:56:40 > 0:56:41Of course. You're Mr Matthews.

0:56:41 > 0:56:44This is Miss Caldwell and Mr Jordan.

0:56:44 > 0:56:45Mr Matthews.

0:56:45 > 0:56:46How do you do?

0:56:46 > 0:56:47Won't you sit down?

0:56:47 > 0:56:48Chair, please.

0:56:48 > 0:56:50I can't tell you

0:56:50 > 0:56:52how much I enjoyed your singing just now.

0:56:52 > 0:56:53Thank you.

0:56:53 > 0:56:54Thank you.

0:56:54 > 0:56:56They say confession's good for the soul.

0:56:56 > 0:56:58I think I should confess...

0:56:58 > 0:57:00Luke, are you sure?

0:57:00 > 0:57:02That fact is that we've been expecting you...

0:57:02 > 0:57:04hoping we could expect you.

0:57:04 > 0:57:06I don't blame you for being confused.

0:57:06 > 0:57:08See, we're a group of conspirators,

0:57:08 > 0:57:10and you're our intended victim,

0:57:10 > 0:57:13though really we'll be doing you a favour.

0:57:13 > 0:57:16I had no idea you were so young, Mr Matthews -

0:57:16 > 0:57:18a distinguished lawyer and scion of an old family,

0:57:18 > 0:57:20well, and everything like that.

0:57:20 > 0:57:22You see, Miss Caldwell's our protegee,

0:57:22 > 0:57:24and we chose this boat

0:57:24 > 0:57:25because we thought

0:57:25 > 0:57:28if you heard Susan sing at the ship's concert...

0:57:28 > 0:57:30Of course, the plot's changed a bit now.

0:57:30 > 0:57:34See, I was to go to your table in a little while

0:57:34 > 0:57:36and say, "Mr Matthews,

0:57:36 > 0:57:38"I'm not sure that you remember me,

0:57:38 > 0:57:41"but some years ago I was in a show

0:57:41 > 0:57:43"that was backed by one of your clients."

0:57:44 > 0:57:47Oh, dear. I can't imagine any happier auspices

0:57:47 > 0:57:50under which I could have been chosen to be the...

0:57:50 > 0:57:53Er, what is the word I'm looking for?

0:57:53 > 0:57:54Sucker?

0:57:54 > 0:57:55Oh...

0:57:57 > 0:57:58Frankly, this is one ruse

0:57:58 > 0:58:00I heartily approve of.

0:58:00 > 0:58:02If you were one of a thousand ambitious singers

0:58:02 > 0:58:05attempting to get an appointment with anybody important...

0:58:05 > 0:58:08I don't think I'm as important as all that.

0:58:08 > 0:58:09Your firm handles the estate

0:58:09 > 0:58:12that owns Hallaway's Hillside Inn, that's all.

0:58:13 > 0:58:17You'll find Susan just an artist, pure and simple.

0:58:17 > 0:58:19Absolutely no eye for business.

0:58:19 > 0:58:21We thought that if you liked her,

0:58:21 > 0:58:23she might have a chance

0:58:23 > 0:58:25to get a professional start singing there.

0:58:25 > 0:58:27We do happen to represent them.

0:58:27 > 0:58:29Well, the only question still open

0:58:29 > 0:58:32is whose name will be in bigger lights -

0:58:32 > 0:58:34Hallaway's or Estrellita's?

0:58:51 > 0:58:54I'm so glad you like Susan, Mrs Matthews.

0:58:54 > 0:58:56I confess I can't remember

0:58:56 > 0:58:58ever meeting anybody quite like her before.

0:58:58 > 0:58:59She's...well...

0:58:59 > 0:59:02I hope you don't mind my saying this -

0:59:02 > 0:59:04she's somewhat of a diamond in the rough,

0:59:04 > 0:59:06wouldn't you say?

0:59:06 > 0:59:09She's really wonderful. And she's worked so hard.

0:59:09 > 0:59:12You know, even a natural voice like hers

0:59:12 > 0:59:14requires hours and days

0:59:14 > 0:59:17and weeks and months of simple drudgery to perfect.

0:59:23 > 0:59:27Well...my son truly seems to have a real gift

0:59:27 > 0:59:30for recognising theatrical talent.

0:59:30 > 0:59:33You know, actually, there are already quite a few people

0:59:33 > 0:59:37whom he has, well, discovered, in a sense, and helped along.

0:59:37 > 0:59:40I try to encourage him in this activity.

0:59:40 > 0:59:43It gives him an interest that I like...

0:59:49 > 0:59:52..when it doesn't become too serious.

0:59:52 > 0:59:54Susan won't be a problem of any kind.

0:59:54 > 0:59:56I'll see to that.

0:59:56 > 0:59:58Well, I don't see how it can hurt

0:59:58 > 1:00:01tomorrow's most promising song writer - that's me -

1:00:01 > 1:00:03if he were to marry an important musical comedy actress.

1:00:03 > 1:00:05Do you?

1:00:05 > 1:00:08Oh, I think it would be an ideal arrangement.

1:00:08 > 1:00:09Mm-hmm.

1:00:09 > 1:00:11It certainly would.

1:00:13 > 1:00:15Thank you so very much.

1:00:15 > 1:00:17I'll go to bed, Brook.

1:00:17 > 1:00:18Oh, of course, Mother.

1:00:18 > 1:00:19Good night.

1:00:19 > 1:00:21Good night, Mrs Matthews.

1:00:21 > 1:00:23Good night. See you in the morning.

1:00:23 > 1:00:25Good night. Mother.

1:00:25 > 1:00:26Good night.

1:00:28 > 1:00:30Well, you're doing all right.

1:00:30 > 1:00:32I'm glad you think so.

1:00:34 > 1:00:35Next dance, Miss Caldwell?

1:00:35 > 1:00:36Sure.

1:00:36 > 1:00:37Do you mind?

1:00:37 > 1:00:39No, not at all.

1:00:39 > 1:00:42I didn't know that you intended to marry Susan.

1:00:42 > 1:00:43Who said I did?

1:00:43 > 1:00:45You did. Huh?

1:00:45 > 1:00:47Oh, that's right. I did, didn't I?

1:00:47 > 1:00:49What's the matter with you?

1:00:49 > 1:00:51Nothing. Nothing at all.

1:00:51 > 1:00:52Well, there's something,

1:00:52 > 1:00:55but I honestly have no idea wh...

1:00:55 > 1:00:57It can't be that silly crack I made

1:00:57 > 1:00:59about intending to marry Susan.

1:00:59 > 1:01:00It certainly can't.

1:01:00 > 1:01:03That was just for Mrs Matthews' benefit.

1:01:04 > 1:01:07I know. It's been the long strain of not being sure,

1:01:07 > 1:01:09and suddenly there's no question

1:01:09 > 1:01:11that Susan's going to make the grade.

1:01:11 > 1:01:13You're tired, that's all.

1:01:13 > 1:01:14I am.

1:01:14 > 1:01:16Indeed, I am.

1:01:16 > 1:01:17Good night.

1:01:42 > 1:01:44What do you think now,

1:01:44 > 1:01:46knowing Marian and Susan a little better?

1:01:46 > 1:01:49Well, you're going to have to do more

1:01:49 > 1:01:52than prove that Miss Washburn's a pretty nice person.

1:01:53 > 1:01:54As for Estrellita...

1:01:54 > 1:01:56Nice people, now and then,

1:01:56 > 1:01:59shoot other people who aren't nice people.

1:01:59 > 1:02:01Really, they do.

1:02:02 > 1:02:05And they go to jail for it, too.

1:02:16 > 1:02:18Just a minute, Mollie.

1:02:22 > 1:02:26You wouldn't know of a secret passage in the apartment?

1:02:26 > 1:02:28I don't, Mrs Fowler.

1:02:28 > 1:02:30I guess I've cased all you can case

1:02:30 > 1:02:32on the first visit.

1:02:34 > 1:02:36That's to eliminate fingerprints.

1:02:36 > 1:02:37Is that a fact?

1:02:37 > 1:02:39Nobody's to know I've been here.

1:02:39 > 1:02:41I may tell myself

1:02:41 > 1:02:43but only at the proper time - my time.

1:02:43 > 1:02:45Yes, Mrs Fowler. Here's your microscope.

1:02:45 > 1:02:46Magnifying glass.

1:02:46 > 1:02:49Your fingerprint dusting powder, and...

1:02:49 > 1:02:51Oh, my melted wax. Thank you.

1:02:51 > 1:02:55In all the years I've been on the police force...

1:02:55 > 1:02:58I mean, Inspector Fowler, if you want to get technical.

1:03:00 > 1:03:02Haven't you a theory of your own, Mollie?

1:03:02 > 1:03:04Sure. I got a theory.

1:03:04 > 1:03:08Miss Susan didn't do it. Miss Marian didn't do it.

1:03:08 > 1:03:09Nobody else didn't do it, either.

1:03:09 > 1:03:11Well, somebody did it,

1:03:11 > 1:03:12so it narrows down

1:03:12 > 1:03:14just to one question -

1:03:14 > 1:03:15who? Who did it?

1:03:15 > 1:03:17That's what I keep thinking.

1:03:17 > 1:03:19You'll let me know

1:03:19 > 1:03:21when you hear about Miss Susan's condition?

1:03:21 > 1:03:22Oh, certainly.

1:03:22 > 1:03:24Would you mail this? Don't need a stamp.

1:03:24 > 1:03:27The hotel pays when it gets back.

1:03:27 > 1:03:29Miss Susan gave it to me to mail

1:03:29 > 1:03:32when she came back from New Orleans.

1:03:32 > 1:03:35The inspector isn't to know about these tests I made.

1:03:35 > 1:03:36He won't, not from me.

1:03:36 > 1:03:39They aren't even the last word in scientific methods.

1:03:39 > 1:03:42Why, in London or Paris, well...

1:03:42 > 1:03:44you mark my words, Mollie,

1:03:44 > 1:03:46when we get to the bottom of this,

1:03:46 > 1:03:49we're going to find somebody incredibly clever at the top.

1:03:49 > 1:03:51Goodbye. Goodbye.

1:03:58 > 1:03:59Inspector Fowler?

1:03:59 > 1:04:00Yes?

1:04:00 > 1:04:03They'll be taking Miss Caldwell to her room shortly.

1:04:03 > 1:04:04How is she?

1:04:04 > 1:04:06The doctor seems pleased.

1:04:06 > 1:04:07There wouldn't be any reason

1:04:07 > 1:04:09to be pleased or displeased if Marian Washburn...

1:04:09 > 1:04:11That'll do.

1:04:11 > 1:04:13Susan had a right to quit.

1:04:13 > 1:04:14Nobody's going to tell me...

1:04:14 > 1:04:15You heard the inspector.

1:04:23 > 1:04:26No pictures till I see the doctor.

1:04:26 > 1:04:28How can one picture hurt anybody?

1:04:28 > 1:04:29(Quiet!)

1:04:33 > 1:04:34How does it look?

1:04:34 > 1:04:35I think you'll be able

1:04:35 > 1:04:37to talk to her later today.

1:04:37 > 1:04:38Later today.

1:04:38 > 1:04:40That'll be fine.

1:04:49 > 1:04:51< Reach for the sky,

1:04:51 > 1:04:53partner.

1:04:53 > 1:04:54Hello.

1:04:54 > 1:04:55I'll call you back.

1:04:55 > 1:04:57I'll call you back.

1:04:57 > 1:04:58Hello.

1:04:58 > 1:05:00I just happened to be in the neighbourhood.

1:05:00 > 1:05:03Nobody just happens to be in this neighbourhood

1:05:03 > 1:05:04unless you're a bondsman.

1:05:04 > 1:05:06What happened about Estrellita?

1:05:06 > 1:05:07It looks good.

1:05:07 > 1:05:09Of course, you can't tell.

1:05:09 > 1:05:10Fine. Can't tell me, you mean.

1:05:10 > 1:05:13I happened to be in the neighbourhood,

1:05:13 > 1:05:15and I thought I'd like you

1:05:15 > 1:05:16to take me to lunch.

1:05:16 > 1:05:18I wasn't figuring on having lunch.

1:05:18 > 1:05:20KNOCK ON DOOR

1:05:20 > 1:05:22Mm-hmm.

1:05:23 > 1:05:25Come in.

1:05:29 > 1:05:31Sorry about taking so long,

1:05:31 > 1:05:32but I had to wait.

1:05:32 > 1:05:35They had to send out for the ice cream

1:05:35 > 1:05:37to make the apple pie a la mode.

1:05:37 > 1:05:39Mabel gave me this message.

1:05:39 > 1:05:42You can set the tray down, young man.

1:05:42 > 1:05:44Figuring on no lunch, eh?

1:05:46 > 1:05:49What's the message, Fred?

1:05:52 > 1:05:54A fella called,

1:05:54 > 1:05:55name of Luke Jordan.

1:05:55 > 1:05:57Had to hang right up,

1:05:57 > 1:05:58but said it was important.

1:05:58 > 1:06:00Says to come to the furnace room

1:06:00 > 1:06:02at the Central South Hospital.

1:06:02 > 1:06:03What are we waiting for?

1:06:03 > 1:06:05I've decided to go, have I?

1:06:05 > 1:06:07Why, of course.

1:06:09 > 1:06:11I make more decisions.

1:06:18 > 1:06:19Hello, Inspector.

1:06:19 > 1:06:21Hello, Mr Jordan.

1:06:21 > 1:06:22What's going on here?

1:06:22 > 1:06:23I have a mind to....

1:06:23 > 1:06:25to have you arrest this fella.

1:06:25 > 1:06:27What for?

1:06:27 > 1:06:28OK.

1:06:30 > 1:06:32After you left this morning,

1:06:32 > 1:06:35we both saw that Susan got to her room OK.

1:06:35 > 1:06:36For a hospital,

1:06:36 > 1:06:39they keep their furnace room awful dusty.

1:06:39 > 1:06:40He wouldn't leave me alone.

1:06:40 > 1:06:42He kept asking questions.

1:06:42 > 1:06:43He kept answering, the dope.

1:06:43 > 1:06:45Tell him what you told me.

1:06:45 > 1:06:48I didn't say anything I didn't say before.

1:06:48 > 1:06:49< About the revolver.

1:06:49 > 1:06:52He asked me again if I gave it to her.

1:06:52 > 1:06:54I said sure.

1:06:54 > 1:06:57How was I to know "her" meant Marian Washburn?

1:06:57 > 1:06:59I meant Susan. She's "her" too.

1:06:59 > 1:07:01Did you give Miss Caldwell that revolver?

1:07:01 > 1:07:03I must be going nuts.

1:07:03 > 1:07:04It was in the paper.

1:07:04 > 1:07:07What difference does it make? I liberated it.

1:07:07 > 1:07:09If you think you can do anything

1:07:09 > 1:07:11to a GI who liberates things...

1:07:11 > 1:07:12That's not the point.

1:07:12 > 1:07:13Then what is?

1:07:13 > 1:07:14He doesn't see it.

1:07:14 > 1:07:16It's not that important.

1:07:16 > 1:07:18That's what I've been saying. >

1:07:18 > 1:07:20As long as she shot her!

1:07:20 > 1:07:21Which her?

1:07:21 > 1:07:23It doesn't help in her particular case.

1:07:23 > 1:07:25Nothing helps, particular or unparticular.

1:07:25 > 1:07:26She's going to jail.

1:07:26 > 1:07:28Shut up.

1:07:28 > 1:07:30Do you think you'll hear about Susan by 6.00?

1:07:30 > 1:07:32That's what the doctor said.

1:07:32 > 1:07:34I don't know what you're talking about,

1:07:34 > 1:07:36but the phrasing of that joke is,

1:07:36 > 1:07:38"That's what the doctor ordered!"

1:07:38 > 1:07:39We'll try this again.

1:07:39 > 1:07:40Any time.

1:07:40 > 1:07:42Any time.

1:07:45 > 1:07:47You may come in now, gentlemen.

1:07:55 > 1:07:57Hello, Brook. Hello, Susan.

1:07:57 > 1:07:59This gentleman is Mr Roberts.

1:07:59 > 1:08:01He's the assistant district attorney.

1:08:01 > 1:08:02Miss Caldwell.

1:08:02 > 1:08:04If you'd make it as brief as possible...

1:08:04 > 1:08:06Just be a minute, Doctor.

1:08:06 > 1:08:09What really happened on the night of the 22nd,

1:08:09 > 1:08:10Miss Caldwell?

1:08:10 > 1:08:13Do you remember how you came to wake up

1:08:13 > 1:08:16to find yourself here in the hospital?

1:08:16 > 1:08:18I came home after the broadcast,

1:08:18 > 1:08:22and I finally managed to tell Marian that...

1:08:22 > 1:08:24That's Marian Washburn, you know.

1:08:24 > 1:08:25Yes, Miss Caldwell.

1:08:25 > 1:08:30I told Marian that I wasn't continuing with my career.

1:08:30 > 1:08:33Well, Marian went into a rage,

1:08:33 > 1:08:35and then she tried to...

1:08:35 > 1:08:36to...

1:08:39 > 1:08:41I'm so tired.

1:08:41 > 1:08:44I'm afraid that will have to be all.

1:08:44 > 1:08:47We can return later for the details.

1:08:55 > 1:08:58Mr Roberts, I'd like to ask the doctor a question.

1:08:58 > 1:08:59Go ahead.

1:08:59 > 1:09:02You haven't talked to Miss Caldwell about this?

1:09:02 > 1:09:04Certainly not. Has anyone else?

1:09:04 > 1:09:07Nobody else has been in that room, right, Officer?

1:09:07 > 1:09:08Right, Doctor.

1:09:08 > 1:09:09If you'll excuse me...

1:09:09 > 1:09:11I must be on my way. Good night.

1:09:11 > 1:09:13Good night.

1:09:13 > 1:09:14Mr Matthews. >

1:09:14 > 1:09:15Yes?

1:09:17 > 1:09:19Did Miss Caldwell have anything to say?

1:09:19 > 1:09:21Did Susan tell the truth?

1:09:21 > 1:09:23She told the story Marian did.

1:09:23 > 1:09:24Impossible!

1:09:24 > 1:09:25It's time you faced facts.

1:09:25 > 1:09:27You know she didn't do it.

1:09:27 > 1:09:28I guess so,

1:09:28 > 1:09:30but if you'd heard what Susan said...

1:09:30 > 1:09:32I've heard Susan.

1:09:32 > 1:09:33You just...

1:09:36 > 1:09:38Good night, Inspector Fowler.

1:09:38 > 1:09:39Luke.

1:09:42 > 1:09:45Come to the house and have a bite to eat.

1:09:45 > 1:09:47I'll have Mary clean that coat...

1:09:47 > 1:09:49if you're through with furnaces for the day.

1:09:50 > 1:09:53They can't send an innocent person to jail.

1:09:53 > 1:09:56You're not innocent if a jury says you're guilty.

1:09:56 > 1:09:57He always says that.

1:09:57 > 1:09:59It's enough to drive you crazy.

1:09:59 > 1:10:00Thank you.

1:10:00 > 1:10:02I'm going to see Marian.

1:10:02 > 1:10:04I'll make her tell the truth.

1:10:04 > 1:10:06That's the spirit. While you're out,

1:10:06 > 1:10:07would you mail that key?

1:10:07 > 1:10:08What's that?

1:10:08 > 1:10:09It's a hotel key.

1:10:09 > 1:10:12They pay when they get it back.

1:10:12 > 1:10:14I'll call you when I've seen her.

1:10:14 > 1:10:16What's that key?

1:10:16 > 1:10:18Where's Lafitte Parish, Louisiana, Jim?

1:10:18 > 1:10:20Louisiana. Why?

1:10:20 > 1:10:22What about Lafitte Parish?

1:10:22 > 1:10:24Isn't that where Crenshaw comes from?

1:10:24 > 1:10:25Yes.

1:10:25 > 1:10:27What about Lafitte Parish?

1:10:27 > 1:10:28Miss Washburn's maid Mollie,

1:10:28 > 1:10:30she's Miss Caldwell's maid, too,

1:10:30 > 1:10:32she gave it to me to mail.

1:10:32 > 1:10:33Gave you what to mail?

1:10:33 > 1:10:35The key, Jim.

1:10:35 > 1:10:37That's what we've been talking about, remember?

1:10:37 > 1:10:40It seems there was this Marian Washburn,

1:10:40 > 1:10:42only she lost her voice.

1:10:42 > 1:10:45Then she met this girl from Azusa - Susan Caldwell.

1:10:45 > 1:10:47She and Luke Jordan met her.

1:10:47 > 1:10:49I'll tell you later who Luke Jordan is.

1:10:49 > 1:10:51How did the maid get the key?

1:10:51 > 1:10:54Miss Caldwell gave it to her to mail

1:10:54 > 1:10:56when she got back from New Orleans.

1:10:56 > 1:10:59Only Miss Caldwell isn't the one who lost her voice.

1:10:59 > 1:11:00Hold it.

1:11:00 > 1:11:02Lafitte, 60 miles from New Orleans.

1:11:03 > 1:11:05I wonder, Mrs Fowler,

1:11:05 > 1:11:07I wonder if I may be permitted

1:11:07 > 1:11:09to use my own phone.

1:11:09 > 1:11:11Strictly business, I assure you.

1:11:11 > 1:11:13My office.

1:11:13 > 1:11:15My downtown office, that is.

1:11:17 > 1:11:19Inspector Fowler, please.

1:11:20 > 1:11:22I could get you committed.

1:11:22 > 1:11:24You're Inspector Fowler.

1:11:29 > 1:11:30Hello.

1:11:30 > 1:11:31Inspector Fowler.

1:11:31 > 1:11:34What about that Louisiana call, Morgan?

1:11:34 > 1:11:36What?

1:11:36 > 1:11:37Keep on trying.

1:11:37 > 1:11:40They get a busy number in Lafitte.

1:11:40 > 1:11:43How could there be a busy number in Lafitte?

1:11:44 > 1:11:46DOORBELL RINGS

1:11:50 > 1:11:52Don't tell me you saw Miss Washburn already?

1:11:52 > 1:11:56I was about to drop this key in the mailbox

1:11:56 > 1:11:57when I looked at it.

1:11:57 > 1:11:59I got the same idea.

1:11:59 > 1:12:00I phoned in the drugstore.

1:12:00 > 1:12:02That's why the line was busy.

1:12:02 > 1:12:04You weren't calling the drugstore.

1:12:04 > 1:12:07I was calling the Lafitte sheriff, so was he.

1:12:07 > 1:12:08Weren't you?

1:12:08 > 1:12:10I think we have a visit to make.

1:12:10 > 1:12:11We certainly have.

1:12:11 > 1:12:12Me, too.

1:12:12 > 1:12:14I'll tell Matthews to meet us.

1:12:14 > 1:12:15I've done that.

1:12:15 > 1:12:18You don't mind if Mr Matthews joins us?

1:12:18 > 1:12:20No. Have all your friends if you like.

1:12:29 > 1:12:30A-ha!

1:12:30 > 1:12:31I knew it.

1:12:31 > 1:12:33Somebody read her the papers.

1:12:33 > 1:12:36That's how she knew what story to tell.

1:12:36 > 1:12:39And in this case that somebody,

1:12:39 > 1:12:42I repeat, that somebody...

1:12:42 > 1:12:44that somebody is the nurse.

1:12:44 > 1:12:46Well, I...I never thought...

1:12:46 > 1:12:48You can say that again!

1:12:48 > 1:12:49I'll take over now,

1:12:49 > 1:12:51if you don't mind.

1:12:51 > 1:12:53Now that I've cracked the case.

1:12:53 > 1:12:54Is it all right

1:12:54 > 1:12:57if we spend a few more minutes with Miss Caldwell?

1:12:57 > 1:13:00If helping to get at the real facts

1:13:00 > 1:13:02will make her feel better,

1:13:02 > 1:13:05I think it might be very sound therapy.

1:13:07 > 1:13:08You see, Brook,

1:13:08 > 1:13:11they gave me all those pills to sleep.

1:13:11 > 1:13:13When I awoke and the nurse told me,

1:13:13 > 1:13:16I must have taken it for granted.

1:13:16 > 1:13:18I didn't know what I was doing.

1:13:18 > 1:13:21About this report we got from Lafitte Parish...

1:13:21 > 1:13:23Where was I?

1:13:23 > 1:13:25In Lafitte Parish, Louisiana,

1:13:25 > 1:13:26getting married to Mr Lee Crenshaw.

1:13:26 > 1:13:27She's explained that, Luke.

1:13:27 > 1:13:30I know what Luke means, Brook.

1:13:30 > 1:13:32I have explained it.

1:13:32 > 1:13:34But even I will never understand it, never.

1:13:34 > 1:13:37Oh, if...if only you'd been there

1:13:37 > 1:13:39the way you are now, Brook.

1:13:39 > 1:13:41Those two Sazeracs before dinner

1:13:41 > 1:13:44and that 20-year-old rum they make

1:13:44 > 1:13:47right in their own back yard.

1:13:47 > 1:13:49What really happened between you and Marian?

1:13:49 > 1:13:52< What happened?

1:13:52 > 1:13:53Go ahead, Suse.

1:13:53 > 1:13:55You're right, Brook.

1:13:55 > 1:13:56I've got to tell.

1:13:56 > 1:13:59I owe it to...

1:13:59 > 1:14:00someone.

1:14:00 > 1:14:02That's right.

1:14:02 > 1:14:03To Marian.

1:14:03 > 1:14:05I guess I was kind of out of control

1:14:05 > 1:14:07after I left Marian in the living room.

1:14:07 > 1:14:10No matter how hard I tried,

1:14:10 > 1:14:13I simply couldn't get my being married to Lee

1:14:13 > 1:14:15out of my mind.

1:14:15 > 1:14:17How I ever could...

1:14:17 > 1:14:20I was so much in love with you, Brook.

1:14:20 > 1:14:22I couldn't think of anything else,

1:14:22 > 1:14:25particularly once I got to my room.

1:15:35 > 1:15:37KNOCK ON DOOR

1:15:37 > 1:15:38< Susan.

1:15:38 > 1:15:40KNOCKING

1:15:40 > 1:15:41< Susan?

1:15:44 > 1:15:45I'm tired. >

1:15:45 > 1:15:46I know.

1:15:46 > 1:15:49I've said everything I want to say.

1:15:49 > 1:15:50Please leave me alone.

1:15:50 > 1:15:52What's wrong, Susan?

1:15:52 > 1:15:54If we talk it over, you'll probably find

1:15:54 > 1:15:57it really isn't as important as you think.

1:15:57 > 1:15:59You'll probably be able to laugh it off.

1:15:59 > 1:16:02There are some things you can't laugh off.

1:16:03 > 1:16:05Is it anything I've done?

1:16:05 > 1:16:08I don't want to talk about it any more.

1:16:08 > 1:16:11Very well, we won't talk about it any more.

1:16:11 > 1:16:13Susan.

1:16:15 > 1:16:18I'm going downstairs to get a glass of milk.

1:16:18 > 1:16:21Would you like one? No, thank you.

1:16:21 > 1:16:23I want you to get out of here.

1:16:23 > 1:16:26I need sleep. I must look...

1:16:26 > 1:16:29What are you doing with this revolver?

1:16:29 > 1:16:32I don't understand. You don't have to under...

1:16:32 > 1:16:34Get out of here!

1:16:34 > 1:16:36You've been running my life

1:16:36 > 1:16:38for as long as I can remember. Give it to me!

1:16:38 > 1:16:40Get out of here!

1:16:40 > 1:16:43Get out!

1:16:44 > 1:16:45Give it to me!

1:16:45 > 1:16:50GUNSHOT

1:16:53 > 1:16:55I've heard all I need.

1:16:55 > 1:16:58I'll have the charge withdrawn,

1:16:58 > 1:17:00Miss Washburn released.

1:17:00 > 1:17:02I don't want to seem immodest, but you're all very lucky

1:17:02 > 1:17:05that I took an interest in this case.

1:17:05 > 1:17:09The next time you feel like reading to a patient,

1:17:09 > 1:17:11try the encyclopaedia.

1:17:11 > 1:17:13Why didn't you tell us this before?

1:17:13 > 1:17:15Didn't it occur to you that Marian...

1:17:15 > 1:17:18She explained that.

1:17:18 > 1:17:20When the nurse read Susan the newspapers,

1:17:20 > 1:17:21she knew Marian must have some reason

1:17:21 > 1:17:22for the story she told.

1:17:22 > 1:17:25She was waiting for a chance to see Marian

1:17:25 > 1:17:28before she divulged what really happened.

1:17:28 > 1:17:29Oh.

1:17:29 > 1:17:32I apologise, Susan. Please forgive me.

1:17:32 > 1:17:34And don't worry. The worst that'll happen,

1:17:34 > 1:17:38they'll pay you a thousand a week more next season.

1:17:39 > 1:17:40Come on, Mary.

1:17:40 > 1:17:42So nice to have met you,

1:17:42 > 1:17:44Mrs Crenshaw.

1:17:46 > 1:17:47The nurse will give you some medicine.

1:17:47 > 1:17:49A good night's sleep,

1:17:49 > 1:17:52and you'll be perfectly OK in the morning.

1:17:52 > 1:17:54Thank you very much, Doctor.

1:17:54 > 1:17:56I guess...

1:17:56 > 1:17:58Don't go, not for a moment, Brook,

1:17:58 > 1:18:00please.

1:18:00 > 1:18:02Well, I...don't know.

1:18:02 > 1:18:04A few minutes won't matter.

1:18:11 > 1:18:13I've really been dreadful,

1:18:13 > 1:18:14haven't I, Brook?

1:18:29 > 1:18:31Everything's fine. Thank you, Lieutenant.

1:18:31 > 1:18:32Good luck.

1:18:32 > 1:18:34I don't mean you, Mr Jordan.

1:18:34 > 1:18:36You've been a headache.

1:18:36 > 1:18:38You make me very happy, Lieutenant.

1:18:38 > 1:18:40Come on, you.

1:18:45 > 1:18:46Luke.

1:18:50 > 1:18:51No cabs.

1:18:51 > 1:18:54Do you suppose I'm allergic to cabs?

1:18:54 > 1:18:56Don't think you'll get off

1:18:56 > 1:18:58without a few words from me about your behaviour,

1:18:58 > 1:19:00Miss Washburn, because you're not.

1:19:00 > 1:19:01You're completely crazy.

1:19:01 > 1:19:04Not just slap happy or slightly barmy, you're crazy.

1:19:04 > 1:19:06CAR DRIVES BY

1:19:06 > 1:19:07Cab!

1:19:07 > 1:19:09That's the funny thing about cabs.

1:19:09 > 1:19:10You wait and wait,

1:19:10 > 1:19:12finally an empty one shows up,

1:19:12 > 1:19:13and there's somebody in it.

1:19:13 > 1:19:15May I tell you something?

1:19:15 > 1:19:17I've been asking you to for days.

1:19:17 > 1:19:19I'm not sure I'm the heroine

1:19:19 > 1:19:21I've tried to make myself out to be

1:19:21 > 1:19:25because something tells me in a couple of days

1:19:25 > 1:19:27I might have told the truth,

1:19:27 > 1:19:30for jail can be very unattractive.

1:19:31 > 1:19:34Unless you're trying to finish your novel...

1:19:34 > 1:19:37what do you say we don't try to get a cab?

1:19:37 > 1:19:39We just walk,

1:19:39 > 1:19:42up and down both sides of Madison Avenue window shopping?

1:19:42 > 1:19:43Now you're being crazy.

1:19:43 > 1:19:45Good. That was a test question.

1:19:45 > 1:19:47It's supposed to be romantic,

1:19:47 > 1:19:50window shopping on Madison Avenue, but it's not.

1:19:50 > 1:19:52You get fallen arches. Cab!

1:19:52 > 1:19:53Come on.

1:19:53 > 1:19:54Jut a minute, Luke.

1:19:54 > 1:19:58We won't stop anywhere for any rehearsals, right?

1:19:58 > 1:19:59Right.

1:19:59 > 1:20:02And if we see anybody faint,

1:20:02 > 1:20:04she stays fainted, right?

1:20:04 > 1:20:06Right. And another thing...

1:20:06 > 1:20:11there's no law against being romantic in a cab, is there?

1:20:12 > 1:20:14Are you proposing to me?

1:20:15 > 1:20:17In you go.

1:20:19 > 1:20:21Once around Central Park, driver.

1:20:22 > 1:20:24Very slowly.
