0:01:50 > 0:01:52What is it, George?

0:01:52 > 0:01:54Gas. Suicide?

0:01:54 > 0:01:56No, sir, an accident. Mrs Tremaine...

0:01:56 > 0:01:57All right, where is she?

0:01:57 > 0:01:58Upstairs.

0:02:08 > 0:02:09DOCTOR: We probably won't need that.

0:02:09 > 0:02:10Just stand by.

0:02:10 > 0:02:13Oh...it was like...

0:02:13 > 0:02:15being smothered.

0:02:15 > 0:02:17My head was pounding.

0:02:17 > 0:02:20I tried to reach the balcony,

0:02:20 > 0:02:23but...the doors were closed.

0:02:23 > 0:02:25I called out for Charles...

0:02:25 > 0:02:27All right, Mrs Tremaine, just relax the arm.

0:02:27 > 0:02:29I was in my room in bed, reading.

0:02:29 > 0:02:30Where is your room?

0:02:30 > 0:02:31Across the hall.

0:02:31 > 0:02:33I thought I heard her cry out.

0:02:33 > 0:02:35She was lying there.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37The room was full of gas,

0:02:37 > 0:02:39so I pulled her out into the air.

0:02:39 > 0:02:40I shouted to the butler,

0:02:40 > 0:02:42but I guess he didn't hear me.

0:02:42 > 0:02:45I saw she was coming to, so I left her to turn off the gas,

0:02:45 > 0:02:46but the key wasn't there.

0:02:46 > 0:02:48MRS TREMAINE: Someone took it, I tell you.

0:02:48 > 0:02:50Someone tried to murder me.

0:02:50 > 0:02:52DOCTOR: Now, now, Mrs Tremaine.

0:02:52 > 0:02:54Key's here now.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56No, that's the one from my room.

0:02:56 > 0:02:58I went back across the balcony and got it.

0:03:01 > 0:03:03Is this the other one down here?

0:03:03 > 0:03:04Where?

0:03:04 > 0:03:05Under the logs.

0:03:11 > 0:03:14She might've kicked it with her foot.

0:03:14 > 0:03:16Unless you think she...

0:03:16 > 0:03:18Oh, no, that's out of the question.

0:03:18 > 0:03:19I'll telephone the drugstore

0:03:19 > 0:03:22to send up some pills which she can take

0:03:22 > 0:03:23when she wakes up.

0:03:23 > 0:03:24Will you need us anymore, Doc?

0:03:24 > 0:03:26No, thank you very much.

0:03:26 > 0:03:29Now, will you show me your room, please?

0:04:25 > 0:04:26She didn't even need this.

0:05:07 > 0:05:10it doesn't say a word about getting slapped back.

0:05:12 > 0:05:13I'm sorry.

0:05:13 > 0:05:15It's all right. Forget it.

0:05:15 > 0:05:17I've been slapped by dames before.

0:05:24 > 0:05:25Yes, I'll remember.

0:06:24 > 0:06:27Want to go for a cup of coffee?

0:06:27 > 0:06:30No, I promised Mary I'd call her. She's waiting for me.

0:06:30 > 0:06:31Lucky.

0:06:31 > 0:06:32You know it.

0:06:32 > 0:06:34See you tomorrow, buddy.

0:06:34 > 0:06:35Good night, Frank.

0:06:54 > 0:06:56Well, if it ain't the dead-body jockey.

0:06:56 > 0:06:57Sure, Harry, that's why I come here.

0:06:57 > 0:06:59So much like the morgue.

0:06:59 > 0:07:00That ain't funny.

0:07:00 > 0:07:02What's happened to business, anyway?

0:07:02 > 0:07:03Got nothing to do but sit here

0:07:03 > 0:07:05doping the horses.

0:07:09 > 0:07:11How do you like Hilly in the seventh?

0:07:11 > 0:07:13Ah, she'll still be around

0:07:13 > 0:07:14when they start the eighth.

0:07:22 > 0:07:23Hello.

0:07:23 > 0:07:25Well, hello.

0:07:25 > 0:07:27You do get around fast, don't you?

0:07:27 > 0:07:29I parked my broomstick outside.

0:07:29 > 0:07:31Beer, Harry.

0:07:31 > 0:07:32And what do witches drink?

0:07:32 > 0:07:35Just coffee. Smoke?

0:07:35 > 0:07:37No.

0:07:44 > 0:07:46I had to get out.

0:07:46 > 0:07:49I couldn't stay there after what happened.

0:07:49 > 0:07:51What did happen?

0:07:51 > 0:07:52I don't know.

0:07:52 > 0:07:54Father wouldn't even let me in the room.

0:07:54 > 0:07:56He told me to call the doctor

0:07:56 > 0:07:57and just wait.

0:07:59 > 0:08:01It was horrible not knowing.

0:08:06 > 0:08:07Shouldn't someone answer it?

0:08:07 > 0:08:09HARRY: Hey, get that phone, will you?

0:08:09 > 0:08:11Maybe it's for you.

0:08:11 > 0:08:13Maybe it's the girl you were calling when I came in.

0:08:13 > 0:08:16Now, what makes you so sure I was calling a girl?

0:08:16 > 0:08:17It would have to be.

0:08:17 > 0:08:19Unless she's your wife.

0:08:19 > 0:08:21What's the matter, can't you hear the phone?

0:08:22 > 0:08:23Hello.

0:08:23 > 0:08:25I'm not married.

0:08:25 > 0:08:27You here, Frank? Yes or no?

0:08:27 > 0:08:29Yeah, I'm here.

0:08:29 > 0:08:30Yeah, he says he's here.

0:08:34 > 0:08:35Hello.

0:08:35 > 0:08:36Yes.

0:08:37 > 0:08:39Where did I get to?

0:08:39 > 0:08:41Where were you when I called?

0:08:41 > 0:08:43But you know I can't hear the phone

0:08:43 > 0:08:46when I'm in the shower.

0:08:46 > 0:08:47Darling, what's got into you?

0:08:47 > 0:08:49Nothing's got into me.

0:08:49 > 0:08:51I'm just beat, that's all.

0:08:51 > 0:08:53'What was it, a rough call?'

0:08:53 > 0:08:54Yeah, rough.

0:08:56 > 0:08:57I'll see you tomorrow.

0:08:57 > 0:08:59Tomorrow?

0:08:59 > 0:09:01But I've got everything ready.

0:09:01 > 0:09:02Darling, you stay there.

0:09:02 > 0:09:04I'll be right over, and...

0:09:04 > 0:09:06I said we'll skip it for tonight.

0:09:06 > 0:09:07Besides, I just had a sandwich.

0:09:09 > 0:09:11Yeah. Yeah, good night.

0:09:12 > 0:09:14You know something?

0:09:14 > 0:09:15I haven't eaten either.

0:09:15 > 0:09:17Well, let's go and eat.

0:09:17 > 0:09:19Good night, Harry. HARRY: Good night.

0:09:21 > 0:09:24Hey, now. This yours?

0:09:24 > 0:09:25Mm-hmm.

0:09:25 > 0:09:26It's not a stock XK.

0:09:28 > 0:09:29Twin stacks...

0:09:29 > 0:09:31what is it, the Le Mans job?

0:09:31 > 0:09:32That's right.

0:09:32 > 0:09:34You know how to drive it?

0:09:34 > 0:09:36Oh, I think so.

0:09:37 > 0:09:38Did you race professionally?

0:09:38 > 0:09:39Oh, yeah.

0:09:39 > 0:09:41Midgets, Hot Rods,

0:09:41 > 0:09:42everything but Indianapolis.

0:09:42 > 0:09:44I was getting ready to try that

0:09:44 > 0:09:45when the war came along.

0:09:45 > 0:09:47Oh.

0:09:47 > 0:09:50That's when you started driving ambulances.

0:09:50 > 0:09:51No, I drove a tank

0:09:51 > 0:09:53till they shot me out of it.

0:09:53 > 0:09:54Ambulance driving's just a job

0:09:54 > 0:09:56till I make enough money

0:09:56 > 0:09:58to open my own shop.

0:09:58 > 0:10:00"Jessup Automotive.

0:10:00 > 0:10:02"Racing car specialists."

0:10:02 > 0:10:04I got some ideas for a power plant

0:10:04 > 0:10:06that'll make this mill look sick.

0:10:06 > 0:10:07Sounds exciting.

0:10:09 > 0:10:12I think your carburetion's a little sloppy.

0:10:12 > 0:10:14Perhaps it's a little hungry, too.

0:10:14 > 0:10:15Hmm?

0:10:15 > 0:10:17Oh, yeah, we're supposed to eat, weren't we?

0:10:17 > 0:10:19We'll be right there.

0:10:21 > 0:10:23So I figure another 5,000, 6,000,

0:10:23 > 0:10:24I'm in business.

0:10:24 > 0:10:27Of course, Mary has some money, but...

0:10:27 > 0:10:29She was the one on the phone.

0:10:29 > 0:10:30Yeah.

0:10:30 > 0:10:31Do you love her?

0:10:31 > 0:10:34You ask an awful lot of questions.

0:10:34 > 0:10:36I know, it's a very bad habit of mine.

0:10:36 > 0:10:38You ask me some, just for a change.

0:10:38 > 0:10:39All right, I will.

0:10:39 > 0:10:41Uh...what does your father do?

0:10:41 > 0:10:43He's a very famous novelist.

0:10:43 > 0:10:45He hasn't published anything

0:10:45 > 0:10:47since we came to America

0:10:47 > 0:10:49after my mother was killed in a raid.

0:10:49 > 0:10:51But he's started to write again,

0:10:51 > 0:10:52a novel.

0:10:52 > 0:10:55He's been reading parts of it to me.

0:10:55 > 0:10:56It's wonderful.

0:10:58 > 0:11:01Catherine - that's my stepmother -

0:11:01 > 0:11:02she's very jealous,

0:11:02 > 0:11:05because he only talks to me about his work.

0:11:05 > 0:11:08I suppose it's only natural that she should be.

0:11:08 > 0:11:10It's as if I robbed her of something in a way.

0:11:10 > 0:11:11Oh, sure, I suppose she feels...

0:11:11 > 0:11:13Here, let me do this. I asked you.

0:11:13 > 0:11:14Will you relax?

0:11:14 > 0:11:16I can pay the check, even on my salary.

0:11:16 > 0:11:18But you're saving up for your shop and to get married and...

0:11:18 > 0:11:20Who said anything about getting married?

0:11:20 > 0:11:22Well, Mary expects it, doesn't she?

0:11:23 > 0:11:26What's her last name? What's she do?

0:11:26 > 0:11:27Her last name is Wilton.

0:11:27 > 0:11:29She's a receptionist at the hospital,

0:11:29 > 0:11:31she has blonde hair, blue eyes,

0:11:31 > 0:11:32she weighs 105 pounds stripped.

0:11:32 > 0:11:35She sleeps in pajamas, she's a first-rate cook,

0:11:35 > 0:11:37and she doesn't ask questions.

0:11:37 > 0:11:38She does, too.

0:11:38 > 0:11:40Anyway, let me pay my share. I insist.

0:11:40 > 0:11:42All right, if that's the way you want it.

0:11:42 > 0:11:44I'd like a nightcap. How about you?

0:11:44 > 0:11:47Oh, no, you don't smoke or drink, do you?

0:11:47 > 0:11:48I only ask questions, and I love to dance.

0:12:04 > 0:12:06No, but I'll promise to try

0:12:06 > 0:12:07not to laugh at you.

0:12:07 > 0:12:09You're the first man I've danced with

0:12:35 > 0:12:37Where have you been so late?

0:12:37 > 0:12:38For a drive.

0:12:38 > 0:12:39I had to get out

0:12:39 > 0:12:42just for a little while.

0:12:42 > 0:12:43How is she?

0:12:43 > 0:12:45Sleeping quietly.

0:12:45 > 0:12:47Have the police found out

0:12:47 > 0:12:48what really happened?

0:12:48 > 0:12:50Well, they suggested she might have

0:12:50 > 0:12:54accidentally kicked the key with her foot.

0:12:54 > 0:12:55You don't think

0:12:55 > 0:12:57that she could have intended to commit...

0:13:05 > 0:13:06Go to bed.

0:13:15 > 0:13:16It was nice of you to come.

0:13:16 > 0:13:18You must've been surprised,

0:13:18 > 0:13:19getting a phone call from a complete stranger.

0:13:19 > 0:13:21Frankly, I was.

0:13:21 > 0:13:23You're no stranger to me.

0:13:23 > 0:13:26Frank told me so much about you.

0:13:26 > 0:13:27Frank?

0:13:27 > 0:13:28I was with him last night

0:13:28 > 0:13:30after he made the phone call

0:13:30 > 0:13:31from our house.

0:13:31 > 0:13:33You must forgive me for that.

0:13:33 > 0:13:35And him, too.

0:13:35 > 0:13:37Frank is free to go out

0:13:37 > 0:13:38with whoever he pleases, Miss Tremaine.

0:13:38 > 0:13:39But you're angry

0:13:39 > 0:13:41because he lied to you on the phone.

0:13:41 > 0:13:42Wouldn't you be?

0:13:42 > 0:13:44Put yourself in the poor man's place.

0:13:44 > 0:13:45What could he have said

0:13:45 > 0:13:47without hurting your feelings even more?

0:13:47 > 0:13:50You must know that I wouldn't be telling you this

0:13:50 > 0:13:52if it wasn't completely innocent.

0:13:55 > 0:13:57WAITRESS: Excuse me.

0:13:58 > 0:13:59Don't be cross, please.

0:13:59 > 0:14:00Miss Tremaine...

0:14:00 > 0:14:02Do call me Diane.

0:14:04 > 0:14:06Diane, I'm sure your motives

0:14:06 > 0:14:08for telling me all this are good,

0:14:08 > 0:14:10but frankly, I wish you hadn't.

0:14:10 > 0:14:11But why?

0:14:11 > 0:14:12We spent most of the time

0:14:12 > 0:14:14talking about you,

0:14:14 > 0:14:17and about his plans for his racing car place.

0:14:17 > 0:14:18That's why I called.

0:14:18 > 0:14:20I'm afraid I don't understand.

0:14:20 > 0:14:23Mary, would you accept 1,000 from me

0:14:23 > 0:14:24to add to that garage fund?

0:14:24 > 0:14:261,000?

0:14:26 > 0:14:27But why...

0:14:27 > 0:14:28I have few friends.

0:14:28 > 0:14:30None, actually.

0:14:30 > 0:14:31And last night, after I left Frank,

0:14:31 > 0:14:33I got to thinking about you two.

0:14:33 > 0:14:36And I thought that if I could help you both

0:14:36 > 0:14:37to realise your dream,

0:14:37 > 0:14:39I'd have a little part in your life.

0:14:39 > 0:14:41Well, it's very generous of you

0:14:41 > 0:14:43and all that, but...

0:14:43 > 0:14:45I'm sure Frank feels the same...

0:14:45 > 0:14:47You mustn't tell him, ever.

0:14:47 > 0:14:49It would be our secret.

0:14:49 > 0:14:52Hasn't anyone ever told you about hospital salaries?

0:14:52 > 0:14:53How do you think

0:14:53 > 0:14:54I could explain away 1,000?

0:14:54 > 0:14:57You could say you won it on the radio or in a contest.

0:14:57 > 0:14:59There are all sorts of ways.

0:14:59 > 0:15:00And he wouldn't believe any of them.

0:15:03 > 0:15:04Well...

0:15:04 > 0:15:06I can see my little plot didn't succeed.

0:15:06 > 0:15:08Oh, I wouldn't say that.

0:15:10 > 0:15:12You brought me here today

0:15:12 > 0:15:15because you wanted to shake my faith in Frank.

0:15:15 > 0:15:17You have.

0:15:17 > 0:15:19You wanted to find out

0:15:19 > 0:15:21how clever or stupid I am.

0:15:21 > 0:15:24I guess you've done that, too.

0:15:24 > 0:15:27So your little plot has succeeded after all.

0:15:27 > 0:15:29And what do you intend to do about it?

0:15:31 > 0:15:33Nothing.

0:15:33 > 0:15:35Not one thing.

0:15:36 > 0:15:39I suppose I could pick up the check,

0:15:39 > 0:15:40but I'm too practical.

0:15:40 > 0:15:42You see, I have to work for my money.

0:15:46 > 0:15:48I won't say goodbye, Diane.

0:15:49 > 0:15:51I'm sure I'll see more of you.

0:16:02 > 0:16:04What do you say, Janie?

0:16:04 > 0:16:05Hi, Frank.

0:16:05 > 0:16:07Hi, honey.

0:16:07 > 0:16:08Good night, dear.

0:16:08 > 0:16:09Good night, Mary.

0:16:09 > 0:16:10Hello, Frank.

0:16:10 > 0:16:11Well, what'll it be?

0:16:11 > 0:16:13Gilmore field or a drive-in movie?

0:16:13 > 0:16:16Aren't you too tired after your rough night?

0:16:16 > 0:16:18Oh... I'll buy you a T-bone

0:16:18 > 0:16:20twice as big and twice as beautiful

0:16:20 > 0:16:22if it takes my whole paycheck,

0:16:22 > 0:16:23which it will.

0:16:23 > 0:16:25You do that... some other time.

0:16:25 > 0:16:26Oh, honey, stop.

0:16:26 > 0:16:29You're not going to let a T-bone steak come between us?

0:16:29 > 0:16:31Now, come on, dimple up.

0:16:33 > 0:16:34All right.

0:16:34 > 0:16:37I would've been lousy company last night.

0:16:37 > 0:16:40Ten minutes after I left Harry's, I was in the sack.

0:16:40 > 0:16:42I can believe that.

0:16:42 > 0:16:45Well, you can head for that same sack tonight.

0:16:45 > 0:16:46I've got other plans.

0:16:46 > 0:16:47Oh, you have.

0:16:47 > 0:16:48Yes, I have.

0:16:48 > 0:16:49OK. OK.

0:16:49 > 0:16:51OK! Shh! Quiet, please.

0:16:51 > 0:16:53This is a residential district.

0:16:55 > 0:16:58Now, don't tell me. Just let me hope, hmm?

0:16:58 > 0:16:59Hello, Bill.

0:16:59 > 0:17:00You know in times like these,

0:17:00 > 0:17:02a guy can offer a girl a handkerchief,

0:17:02 > 0:17:04or a double old fashioned.

0:17:04 > 0:17:05What'll it be?

0:17:05 > 0:17:06Both.

0:17:06 > 0:17:08Come on, you redheaded double-crosser.

0:17:08 > 0:17:09Who, me,

0:17:09 > 0:17:11double-cross a pal?

0:17:11 > 0:17:12I should say.

0:17:13 > 0:17:17What's the matter?

0:17:17 > 0:17:19This time I'm making no fresh coffee.

0:17:19 > 0:17:20It's all right,

0:17:20 > 0:17:23I don't care for any right now.

0:17:23 > 0:17:25Go ahead, hit me.

0:17:25 > 0:17:26First I'll buy you a dinner,

0:17:26 > 0:17:28then maybe I'll hit you.

0:17:28 > 0:17:29I wish I could,

0:17:29 > 0:17:31but the family expects me.

0:17:31 > 0:17:33This is definitely not my day.

0:17:33 > 0:17:35When I tell you what I did,

0:17:35 > 0:17:37you probably won't want to see me again, ever.

0:17:37 > 0:17:39It sounds pretty grim.

0:17:39 > 0:17:40I had lunch with Mary.

0:17:40 > 0:17:42I told her about last night.

0:17:42 > 0:17:45Oh, not everything, just that-that we went out together.

0:17:45 > 0:17:46Well, why did you say that?

0:17:46 > 0:17:48I told her I was... Ohh...

0:17:48 > 0:17:51I only did it because I wanted to help get the garage.

0:17:51 > 0:17:52Oh, you're a big help.

0:17:52 > 0:17:54I offered Mary 1,000.

0:17:54 > 0:17:56You offered her 1,000 just like that?

0:17:56 > 0:17:58And what did she say?

0:17:58 > 0:17:59She was rather angry.

0:17:59 > 0:18:03I gathered she resented you knowing anybody else.

0:18:03 > 0:18:05Look, I'm a free agent.

0:18:05 > 0:18:07Mary admits that, but...

0:18:07 > 0:18:08you know what girls are.

0:18:08 > 0:18:10It's only natural.

0:18:10 > 0:18:11Look what I found.

0:18:11 > 0:18:14They're running the Pebble Beach road races

0:18:14 > 0:18:15later on next month.

0:18:15 > 0:18:18I thought that we could enter the car and...

0:18:18 > 0:18:19you drive.

0:18:19 > 0:18:21I drove that course in '41.

0:18:21 > 0:18:22Well, then you're eligible,

0:18:22 > 0:18:24even though you were a pro.

0:18:24 > 0:18:25As long as you haven't raced for two years.

0:18:25 > 0:18:27Two years? I haven't raced in ten.

0:18:27 > 0:18:29You could tune it up,

0:18:29 > 0:18:30change anything you wanted,

0:18:30 > 0:18:32and we could take it out weekends.

0:18:32 > 0:18:34Do you think Mary would mind?

0:18:34 > 0:18:36Oh, Mary has nothing to do with this.

0:18:36 > 0:18:37If we take that race,

0:18:37 > 0:18:39it'll mean a lot of publicity,

0:18:39 > 0:18:41make it easier to get backing for the shop.

0:18:41 > 0:18:43Come on, let's have dinner. I'll talk to you about it.

0:18:43 > 0:18:45I can't. The family.

0:18:45 > 0:18:47I could get away later, though.

0:18:47 > 0:18:4810.00?

0:18:48 > 0:18:49Here.

0:18:49 > 0:18:50Here.

0:18:56 > 0:18:57CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYS

0:18:57 > 0:18:59Charles, if you must play that,

0:18:59 > 0:19:02would mind turning it a little lower?

0:19:02 > 0:19:04TURNS OFF MUSIC

0:19:04 > 0:19:05I'll have another, Ito.

0:19:07 > 0:19:09You needn't have turned it OFF.

0:19:12 > 0:19:13Evening, family.

0:19:13 > 0:19:14Well...

0:19:14 > 0:19:17you seem particularly festive this evening.

0:19:17 > 0:19:18What is it, a new dress?

0:19:18 > 0:19:21Yes. I got the bill this morning.

0:19:21 > 0:19:23Really, Diane, when I gave you permission

0:19:23 > 0:19:25to pick up something simple...

0:19:25 > 0:19:26Oh, Catherine, darling,

0:19:26 > 0:19:28you know that the simple things always cost the most.

0:19:28 > 0:19:30Ito, you're an angel.

0:19:30 > 0:19:31Now, what is it tonight?

0:19:31 > 0:19:33Don't tell me. Let me guess.

0:19:35 > 0:19:36Pineapple, certainly...

0:19:37 > 0:19:39orange...

0:19:39 > 0:19:41What's the other?

0:19:41 > 0:19:43It's creme de fraise, dear.

0:19:43 > 0:19:46I'm sure you knew it all along.

0:19:46 > 0:19:48Tell Chio to hurry dinner, please.

0:19:48 > 0:19:49I'm famished.

0:19:51 > 0:19:52Catherine...

0:19:54 > 0:19:57don't you think we ought to have a chauffeur?

0:19:57 > 0:19:58I thought you enjoyed driving

0:19:58 > 0:20:00that horrible little jet-propelled torpedo.

0:20:00 > 0:20:02Well, I do, but you don't.

0:20:02 > 0:20:04No argument there.

0:20:04 > 0:20:06Catherine, you how nervous and absent-minded you are

0:20:06 > 0:20:07after your bridge bouts.

0:20:07 > 0:20:08I wouldn't say that.

0:20:08 > 0:20:09Only three tickets last month

0:20:09 > 0:20:11for not observing stop signals,

0:20:11 > 0:20:13only one collision.

0:20:13 > 0:20:15That was definitely not my fault, Charles.

0:20:15 > 0:20:18I distinctly signalled I was making a left turn.

0:20:18 > 0:20:19ITO: Dinner is served, please.

0:20:19 > 0:20:21But you turned right, darling.

0:20:21 > 0:20:23I think Diane has a point.

0:20:23 > 0:20:26And besides, I think it would be a good idea

0:20:26 > 0:20:28to have another man in the house.

0:20:28 > 0:20:30Might keep away the prowlers.

0:20:32 > 0:20:33Please, Frank.

0:20:33 > 0:20:35You could make just as much money

0:20:35 > 0:20:36as you do at the hospital.

0:20:36 > 0:20:38There's an apartment over the garage.

0:20:38 > 0:20:40Not very large, maybe, but at least it has a regular bed

0:20:40 > 0:20:43and not something that leaps out of a wall at you.

0:20:43 > 0:20:46No, I don't think I'm quite the type for that

0:20:46 > 0:20:47"Yes, sir, no, ma'am.

0:20:47 > 0:20:49"Home, driver. Walk the dog, Franklin."

0:20:49 > 0:20:52We don't have a dog, and the family isn't like that.

0:20:52 > 0:20:56Father never goes out and mother just goes to her bridge clubs

0:20:56 > 0:20:57and I'm no trouble.

0:20:57 > 0:21:01Just think...you could get set for Pebble Beach.

0:21:05 > 0:21:08Well, what'll it be? Home, James?

0:21:08 > 0:21:09No, not yet.

0:21:23 > 0:21:24SPEAKING JAPANESE

0:21:24 > 0:21:26THEY SPEAK JAPANESE

0:21:29 > 0:21:30What'd she say?

0:21:30 > 0:21:33I asked if she trimmed the toast for Miss Diane.

0:21:33 > 0:21:35She said, "I always do it."

0:21:35 > 0:21:37Then she got angry and said...

0:21:37 > 0:21:39Well, in America now

0:21:39 > 0:21:41I guess it would be "drop dead."

0:21:41 > 0:21:44I thought the men wore the pants in Japan.

0:21:44 > 0:21:47Maybe she's been too long with Mrs Tremaine.

0:21:47 > 0:21:49One acquires bad habits so easily.

0:21:49 > 0:21:50INTERCOM BUZZES

0:21:50 > 0:21:52I'll get it. >

0:21:56 > 0:21:57Hello.

0:21:57 > 0:21:59Is that you, Frank?

0:22:01 > 0:22:04How wonderful to hear your voice in the morning,

0:22:04 > 0:22:06even if it is just "hello".

0:22:08 > 0:22:11You might have said, "Awake thee, my lady love.

0:22:11 > 0:22:13"Awake thee and rise.

0:22:13 > 0:22:16"The sun through the bow peeps into thine eyes."

0:22:16 > 0:22:17Or something like that.

0:22:17 > 0:22:18Well, I might have.

0:22:18 > 0:22:20Then again, I might not.

0:22:20 > 0:22:22Especially not over the intercom.

0:22:24 > 0:22:26What do you mean, not romantic?

0:22:26 > 0:22:28You try me sometime later in the day,

0:22:28 > 0:22:30and not on the phone.

0:22:30 > 0:22:32Oh, I spoke to Catherine last night.

0:22:32 > 0:22:35She seems interested.

0:22:35 > 0:22:36No, really.

0:22:36 > 0:22:37KNOCK ON DOOR

0:22:37 > 0:22:38Come in.

0:22:38 > 0:22:39She wants to see you.

0:22:39 > 0:22:40Have you got your figures ready?

0:22:40 > 0:22:42Good morning, Miss Diane.

0:22:42 > 0:22:44Good morning, Ito.

0:22:44 > 0:22:45SHE LAUGHS

0:22:45 > 0:22:47I'll see you later.

0:22:47 > 0:22:50You can tell me then in person.

0:22:50 > 0:22:52I hope you find everything perfect, Miss Diane.

0:22:52 > 0:22:54Oh, it looks wonderful, as usual, Ito.

0:22:54 > 0:22:56Thank you, Miss Diane.

0:23:00 > 0:23:01I was under the impression

0:23:01 > 0:23:03these uncomfortable little cars were just a fad.

0:23:03 > 0:23:06There's a great deal more to it than that, Mrs Tremaine.

0:23:06 > 0:23:09Why, you have over 5,000 sports car owners right here in this area.

0:23:09 > 0:23:11So I see, but aren't there any repair shops?

0:23:11 > 0:23:13Oh, sure, but most of them specialise in just one make.

0:23:13 > 0:23:14With one big repair shop

0:23:14 > 0:23:16carrying all the important parts

0:23:16 > 0:23:17for all the leading sports cars,

0:23:17 > 0:23:19I don't see how it can miss.

0:23:19 > 0:23:21I must say, you're persuasive.

0:23:21 > 0:23:23Your figures seem to make sense.

0:23:23 > 0:23:24My lawyer will have to look them over,

0:23:24 > 0:23:25and there are a few questions.

0:23:25 > 0:23:27Anything you'd like to know, Mrs Tremaine.

0:23:27 > 0:23:29Very well. Sit down, please.

0:23:29 > 0:23:31Diane's told me a little about you,

0:23:31 > 0:23:35that you were driving the ambulance the night of that...accident

0:23:35 > 0:23:37and how she happened to run into you the next day.

0:23:37 > 0:23:40I gather that was when you told her about your plans for this garage.

0:23:40 > 0:23:42Yes, that's right. We got to talking.

0:23:42 > 0:23:44I see. Doesn't really make any difference,

0:23:44 > 0:23:47but did you or she suggest the possibility of my investing in it?

0:23:47 > 0:23:49When we talked about my shop,

0:23:49 > 0:23:51I had no thought of coming here to work.

0:23:51 > 0:23:53I've been saving my own money and...

0:23:53 > 0:23:55So it was Diane's suggestion?

0:23:55 > 0:23:58Well, with her interest in sports cars...

0:23:58 > 0:24:00Of course. Well, thank you, Frank.

0:24:00 > 0:24:02I'll call my lawyer today.

0:24:02 > 0:24:06Oh, I don't want you to feel that you're a prisoner here.

0:24:06 > 0:24:08In the evening, I mean.

0:24:08 > 0:24:10Surely you have a girl.

0:24:10 > 0:24:12Yes. She's working the late shift

0:24:12 > 0:24:13at the hospital this month.

0:24:13 > 0:24:16So that explains it. Anytime you want the car and we're at home,

0:24:16 > 0:24:17don't hesitate to take it.

0:24:17 > 0:24:19You'll hear from me, Frank.

0:24:19 > 0:24:20Thank you, Mrs Tremaine.

0:24:26 > 0:24:28Arthur Vance, please.

0:24:28 > 0:24:29Catherine Tremaine.

0:24:31 > 0:24:33May I invade the sanctum sanctorum?

0:24:33 > 0:24:34Hello, Arthur.

0:24:34 > 0:24:38Can you picture me as the co-owner of a garage?

0:24:38 > 0:24:40In overalls, of course.

0:24:40 > 0:24:41No, I'm really quite serious.

0:24:41 > 0:24:44I have the facts and the figures right here.

0:24:44 > 0:24:46I'd like you to look them over.

0:24:46 > 0:24:48Oh, he's a very nice young man.

0:24:48 > 0:24:49I'll send the papers over to you.

0:24:49 > 0:24:51Or better still, I'll...

0:24:51 > 0:24:52Oh, I see.

0:24:52 > 0:24:56Well, then, when you come back from San Francisco, call me.

0:24:56 > 0:24:58Goodbye, Arthur.

0:25:00 > 0:25:04Well, now that I've completed the timeworn gesture,

0:25:04 > 0:25:06you expect me to ask the usual favour.

0:25:06 > 0:25:07Do I?

0:25:07 > 0:25:08At this precise moment,

0:25:08 > 0:25:11you are, with the speed of a mechanical brain,

0:25:11 > 0:25:14weighing and computing an infinite number of possibilities.

0:25:14 > 0:25:15Such as?

0:25:15 > 0:25:18Well, one - he spent this month's allowance.

0:25:18 > 0:25:21Two - he's borrowed against next month's allowance.

0:25:21 > 0:25:24Three - he's charged something at a store,

0:25:24 > 0:25:27which he promised word of honour he'd never do again,

0:25:27 > 0:25:29and, four...

0:25:29 > 0:25:32he's just kissed you because he's very sorry

0:25:32 > 0:25:33and he loves you very much.

0:25:33 > 0:25:36And are you guilty on all four counts?

0:25:36 > 0:25:38All, especially the fourth.

0:25:38 > 0:25:40Oh, I'm terribly sorry, darling,

0:25:40 > 0:25:41but the moment I saw that dress,

0:25:41 > 0:25:44I knew there was only one person in the world

0:25:44 > 0:25:45who could wear it...

0:25:45 > 0:25:47my own beloved and spoiled Diane.

0:25:47 > 0:25:48I dashed into the shop.

0:25:48 > 0:25:50"Is that a size ten?" I asked. It was.

0:25:50 > 0:25:53"I'll take it," I said, "and hang the cost."

0:25:53 > 0:25:55It was 300 plus sales tax.

0:25:55 > 0:25:57I have just enough for the tax.

0:25:57 > 0:26:00Charles, at times your charm wears dangerously thin.

0:26:00 > 0:26:03Right now it's so thin, I can see through it.

0:26:03 > 0:26:05Do you mean that 300 could so alter your perspective?

0:26:05 > 0:26:08Don't speak so contemptuously of 300.

0:26:08 > 0:26:10How long has it been since you've earned that much?

0:26:10 > 0:26:12I've been working incessantly.

0:26:12 > 0:26:13Working.

0:26:13 > 0:26:16Sitting in your study sharpening pencils, listening to music.

0:26:16 > 0:26:18You used to write a whole chapter at one sitting,

0:26:18 > 0:26:21at least that's what you told me.

0:26:22 > 0:26:23True, my dear.

0:26:23 > 0:26:26That was before I met you.

0:26:36 > 0:26:38TYRES SCREECH

0:26:41 > 0:26:43You're not that late.

0:26:43 > 0:26:47Frank, look what I found in her wastepaper basket...

0:26:47 > 0:26:48Your figures.

0:26:48 > 0:26:50I don't get this.

0:26:50 > 0:26:51Did she talk to the lawyer already?

0:26:51 > 0:26:53Of course she hasn't. I checked.

0:26:53 > 0:26:55He's out of town.

0:26:55 > 0:26:57Well, then why did she talk to me like...

0:26:57 > 0:27:00This isn't against you. It's to get at me.

0:27:00 > 0:27:03She's done this to me so often before.

0:27:03 > 0:27:04Just because I wanted her

0:27:04 > 0:27:06to put up the money for you.

0:27:06 > 0:27:07She could've said no right away, couldn't she?

0:27:07 > 0:27:10That's too easy, don't you see?

0:27:10 > 0:27:11It wouldn't hurt.

0:27:11 > 0:27:13It doesn't make sense to me.

0:27:13 > 0:27:15Of course it doesn't.

0:27:15 > 0:27:17That's the way her mind works.

0:27:17 > 0:27:20Act the lady bountiful, raise your hopes,

0:27:20 > 0:27:21and then...

0:27:24 > 0:27:26Oh, Frank, I'm so sorry.

0:27:26 > 0:27:28Well, don't take it so hard.

0:27:28 > 0:27:32You had a nice idea. It just didn't work, that's all.

0:27:32 > 0:27:34I'm so sorry for you.

0:27:34 > 0:27:36She changed her mind. Forget it.

0:27:36 > 0:27:38We'll make a big night of it, huh?

0:27:38 > 0:27:39Not tonight.

0:27:39 > 0:27:40Now, why?

0:27:40 > 0:27:43It would be safer not to.

0:27:43 > 0:27:45We have to be careful for a few days,

0:27:45 > 0:27:47more than ever now.

0:27:47 > 0:27:49What do we have to be careful of now?

0:27:49 > 0:27:51If she finds out, she'll dismiss you,

0:27:51 > 0:27:54and I couldn't stand to lose you now.

0:27:54 > 0:27:56So she fires me and I get another job.

0:27:56 > 0:27:57Maybe it's better that way.

0:27:57 > 0:27:59At least we won't have to play around like this,

0:27:59 > 0:28:01hiding like kids.

0:28:01 > 0:28:03You don't know her, Frank.

0:28:03 > 0:28:04She'd lock me in.

0:28:04 > 0:28:06Don't be silly.

0:28:06 > 0:28:08How could she lock you in?

0:28:08 > 0:28:10She could do anything to me because of my father.

0:28:10 > 0:28:13If I try to fight her, she makes HIM pay for it.

0:28:13 > 0:28:16She knows I can't stand that.

0:28:17 > 0:28:20Please, try to understand.

0:28:29 > 0:28:31OK, if that's the way you want it.

0:29:08 > 0:29:09Well?

0:29:10 > 0:29:11You little beast.

0:29:13 > 0:29:15Oh, I concede.

0:29:15 > 0:29:18You could win anytime you wanted if you really tried.

0:29:18 > 0:29:20You know that.

0:29:20 > 0:29:21More brandy?

0:29:21 > 0:29:23Just a little.

0:29:25 > 0:29:26Whoa!

0:29:26 > 0:29:27Thank you.

0:29:27 > 0:29:30Ambulance dispatch desk, please.

0:29:31 > 0:29:32Hello, Mary?

0:29:32 > 0:29:35Oh, Janie, this is Frank.

0:29:36 > 0:29:38Yeah, I have been busy.

0:29:38 > 0:29:40No, I tried the apartment.

0:29:45 > 0:29:48Your milk and biscuits are by your bed,

0:29:48 > 0:29:49and your cigarettes and matches.

0:29:49 > 0:29:51What would I do without you?

0:29:51 > 0:29:52Good night, Daddy.

0:29:52 > 0:29:54Good night, sweetie.

0:29:54 > 0:29:55Sleep tight.

0:29:57 > 0:29:59No, no message.

0:30:01 > 0:30:04All right. Good night, Janie.

0:30:47 > 0:30:51PLAYS SLOW CLASSICAL PIECE

0:31:20 > 0:31:21Frank?

0:31:22 > 0:31:24Yeah?

0:31:29 > 0:31:30Something wrong?

0:31:30 > 0:31:32What time is it?

0:31:32 > 0:31:34No, don't turn the light on.

0:31:34 > 0:31:36Oh, Frank.

0:31:36 > 0:31:38Ah, calm down.

0:31:38 > 0:31:39What's the matter?

0:31:39 > 0:31:42I can't help you if you don't tell me.

0:31:42 > 0:31:43What is it?

0:31:49 > 0:31:51I'd gone to bed.

0:31:53 > 0:31:55I don't know for how long.

0:31:55 > 0:31:57I couldn't sleep.

0:31:57 > 0:31:59I was thinking of you.

0:32:01 > 0:32:04But I must have dozed, because...

0:32:05 > 0:32:08the next thing, I had a feeling

0:32:08 > 0:32:11that someone was in my room.

0:32:11 > 0:32:14I was too scared to move.

0:32:15 > 0:32:17And then I saw her.

0:32:21 > 0:32:23You saw who?

0:32:23 > 0:32:24Catherine.

0:32:25 > 0:32:28She stood there looking down at me.

0:32:28 > 0:32:29Didn't you say anything?

0:32:29 > 0:32:30No.

0:32:32 > 0:32:33It was so strange.

0:32:33 > 0:32:36I wanted to speak, and I couldn't.

0:32:36 > 0:32:41Then she went over and closed the window.

0:32:42 > 0:32:45I heard her cross the room.

0:32:45 > 0:32:47She seemed to pause at the fireplace.

0:32:47 > 0:32:49I couldn't see from my bed.

0:32:49 > 0:32:52And then I heard her go out...

0:32:52 > 0:32:55very quietly close the door.

0:32:57 > 0:33:00I lay there for a second...

0:33:00 > 0:33:02and then I heard it...

0:33:02 > 0:33:03the gas.

0:33:04 > 0:33:07That awful hissing sound it makes.

0:33:07 > 0:33:09I jumped out of bed

0:33:09 > 0:33:13and turned it off and waited.

0:33:13 > 0:33:15I didn't dare leave the room.

0:33:17 > 0:33:19And then after a while,

0:33:19 > 0:33:21I looked out into the hall...

0:33:23 > 0:33:25..and there was no-one there.

0:33:26 > 0:33:28So I came over here.

0:33:29 > 0:33:32Did you tell your father about this?

0:33:32 > 0:33:34Well, how could I?

0:33:34 > 0:33:36Well, we're going to have to tell it...

0:33:36 > 0:33:37to the police.

0:33:37 > 0:33:39No, Frank!

0:33:39 > 0:33:40We mustn't do that.

0:33:40 > 0:33:42Why not?

0:33:42 > 0:33:43She'd deny it.

0:33:43 > 0:33:45And we have no proof.

0:33:45 > 0:33:47The police couldn't do anything.

0:33:47 > 0:33:48They didn't before.

0:33:48 > 0:33:51I've been thinking about that, too.

0:33:51 > 0:33:53If she's trying to kill you,

0:33:53 > 0:33:57why did she turn on the gas in her own room first?

0:33:57 > 0:34:01To make it look as though somebody else were guilty.

0:34:01 > 0:34:03Is that what you'd do?

0:34:03 > 0:34:05Frank, are you accusing me?

0:34:05 > 0:34:06I'm not accusing anybody,

0:34:06 > 0:34:10but if I were a cop, and not a very bright cop at that,

0:34:10 > 0:34:14I'd say that your story was as phony as a 3.00 bill.

0:34:18 > 0:34:20How can you say that to me?

0:34:20 > 0:34:23Oh, you mean after all we've been to each other?

0:34:24 > 0:34:27Diane, look. I don't pretend to know what goes on

0:34:27 > 0:34:29behind that pretty little face of yours,

0:34:29 > 0:34:31and I don't want to.

0:34:31 > 0:34:34But I learned one thing very early...

0:34:34 > 0:34:35never be the innocent bystander.

0:34:35 > 0:34:38That's the guy that always gets hurt.

0:34:38 > 0:34:40If you want to play with matches, that's your business,

0:34:40 > 0:34:42but not in gas-filled rooms.

0:34:42 > 0:34:44That's not only dangerous, it's stupid.

0:34:44 > 0:34:46I think you ought to go on back to the house

0:34:46 > 0:34:49and get in bed and do some serious thinking.

0:34:51 > 0:34:53Yes, Frank, I will.

0:34:54 > 0:34:56I'm very tired.

0:34:58 > 0:35:01Yeah, that I can believe.

0:35:21 > 0:35:23DOORBELL BUZZES

0:35:25 > 0:35:27BUZZING

0:35:33 > 0:35:34Frank!

0:35:34 > 0:35:35Hi.

0:35:35 > 0:35:37Come in.

0:35:37 > 0:35:38Why didn't you call me?

0:35:38 > 0:35:41Oh, I have to call ahead of time now?

0:35:41 > 0:35:43I thought maybe you forgot the number.

0:35:43 > 0:35:44You ought to stick around more.

0:35:44 > 0:35:46I called last night, twice.

0:35:46 > 0:35:48I was out with Bill.

0:35:48 > 0:35:50I've got to get dressed. I'm on early duty.

0:35:50 > 0:35:52It's all right, I've been here before. Remember?

0:35:52 > 0:35:54Yes, I remember.

0:35:54 > 0:35:55Had your breakfast?

0:35:55 > 0:35:57Yeah.

0:35:57 > 0:36:00There's some coffee in the pot, if you like.

0:36:00 > 0:36:01Help yourself.

0:36:04 > 0:36:06What did you call me about last night, Frank?

0:36:06 > 0:36:07Oh, I had some time off.

0:36:08 > 0:36:09Why didn't you show up, then?

0:36:09 > 0:36:12Bill was sure that you'd get there.

0:36:12 > 0:36:13Show up where?

0:36:13 > 0:36:15Where?

0:36:17 > 0:36:18I suppose it was some other guy

0:36:18 > 0:36:21who entered the singles in the hospital's bowling tournament.

0:36:21 > 0:36:22Oh, that.

0:36:22 > 0:36:24I've been busy.

0:36:25 > 0:36:27You have? Mm-hmm.

0:36:28 > 0:36:30How did Bill make out in the tournament?

0:36:30 > 0:36:31Wonderful.

0:36:31 > 0:36:34He rolled a 245 in the second game.

0:36:34 > 0:36:37He's been making out all right with you, too, huh?

0:36:37 > 0:36:41Bill was very sweet to me, Frank, after you walked out.

0:36:41 > 0:36:43I took a job that pays better

0:36:43 > 0:36:45than being a lousy ambulance driver.

0:36:45 > 0:36:46Is that a crime?

0:36:46 > 0:36:48Is taking the boss' daughter to the Mocambo

0:36:48 > 0:36:50part of the job?

0:36:51 > 0:36:53They've got a good band there.

0:36:53 > 0:36:56Remind me to take you some time.

0:36:56 > 0:36:57Who told you?

0:36:57 > 0:37:00Oh, things get around.

0:37:01 > 0:37:05Are you driving her car at Pebble Beach?

0:37:05 > 0:37:06I don't know.

0:37:06 > 0:37:08I've been thinking about quitting.

0:37:08 > 0:37:11It's a weird outfit. Not for me.

0:37:11 > 0:37:13Here, zip me up, will you, Frank?

0:37:13 > 0:37:15Are you planning on coming back to the hospital?

0:37:15 > 0:37:19Nah. I was a dope to stay there that long.

0:37:20 > 0:37:23What's the score, Mary?

0:37:23 > 0:37:27Has Bill taken over, or do I still rate?

0:37:27 > 0:37:29That's a hard question to answer, Frank,

0:37:29 > 0:37:32and I don't think a fair one to ask.

0:37:32 > 0:37:34Very simple question. Yes or no?

0:37:34 > 0:37:36Bill or me?

0:37:36 > 0:37:38Can't you make up your mind?

0:37:38 > 0:37:42Yes, but I want to be sure you can make up yours.

0:37:42 > 0:37:45Can't we let it go at that for a while?

0:37:45 > 0:37:46Oh, I'm on probation, huh?

0:37:46 > 0:37:50OK, how about tonight? Have we got a date?

0:37:50 > 0:37:51Why not?

0:37:52 > 0:37:54You know something?

0:37:54 > 0:37:56You're a pretty nice guy...

0:37:56 > 0:37:58for a girl.

0:38:25 > 0:38:26Where are you going?

0:38:26 > 0:38:27I'm quitting.

0:38:27 > 0:38:28Why?

0:38:28 > 0:38:31Oh, let's just say it's the altitude.

0:38:31 > 0:38:34Living up there makes my heart pound.

0:38:45 > 0:38:46SHE CRIES

0:38:58 > 0:39:00Now, let's face it.

0:39:00 > 0:39:02I never should've taken this job.

0:39:02 > 0:39:04You shouldn't have asked me.

0:39:04 > 0:39:05It's not that I mind...

0:39:06 > 0:39:08Leave me alone.

0:39:13 > 0:39:14You know I'm right.

0:39:14 > 0:39:16You have your world, I have mine.

0:39:16 > 0:39:19You've got beautiful clothes, a big house.

0:39:19 > 0:39:22Someday you'll come into a lot of money.

0:39:22 > 0:39:25I've got a pair of hands, not much else.

0:39:28 > 0:39:30But all I want is you.

0:39:30 > 0:39:33I can't let you go now. I won't.

0:39:33 > 0:39:35It's no good, I tell you.

0:39:35 > 0:39:37I'm not getting involved.

0:39:37 > 0:39:39Involved in what?

0:39:39 > 0:39:42How stupid do you think I am?

0:39:44 > 0:39:45You hate that woman,

0:39:45 > 0:39:48and someday you're going to hate her enough to kill her.

0:39:48 > 0:39:52It's been in the back of your mind all along.

0:39:52 > 0:39:54So she's fooled you, too...

0:39:54 > 0:39:59just like she has everyone else.

0:39:59 > 0:40:02You don't know what she's done to my father.

0:40:02 > 0:40:05I told you he was writing a wonderful book.

0:40:05 > 0:40:07I believed it...

0:40:09 > 0:40:13..until one day last year, I went into his study

0:40:13 > 0:40:15to hide a present in his desk.

0:40:17 > 0:40:19Just something between him and me.

0:40:19 > 0:40:24And I found that in the drawer

0:40:24 > 0:40:27where he's supposed to keep his manuscript,

0:40:27 > 0:40:31there was nothing but a stack of blank paper.

0:40:31 > 0:40:35He hasn't written a line since she married him.

0:40:35 > 0:40:36So he got tired.

0:40:36 > 0:40:38A writer marries a rich widow,

0:40:38 > 0:40:41what do you expect from the writer besides checks?

0:40:41 > 0:40:42Don't joke about my father.

0:40:42 > 0:40:44OK, OK.

0:40:45 > 0:40:48She's humiliated him and destroyed him.

0:40:48 > 0:40:51There's never been anything in my life

0:40:51 > 0:40:54that she hasn't begrudged or spoiled somehow.

0:40:54 > 0:40:56There's no law that says you have to stay here.

0:40:56 > 0:40:58Lots of other girls work for a living.

0:40:58 > 0:41:00You think I'd stay one day longer

0:41:00 > 0:41:01if it weren't for him?

0:41:01 > 0:41:03That's where I came in.

0:41:03 > 0:41:04I guess that's where I leave.

0:41:04 > 0:41:05Frank, please.

0:41:08 > 0:41:11Will you tell me one thing?

0:41:15 > 0:41:17Do you love me at all?

0:41:17 > 0:41:19I must know.

0:41:22 > 0:41:23Well, I...

0:41:23 > 0:41:27I suppose it's a kind of love.

0:41:28 > 0:41:30But with a girl like you,

0:41:30 > 0:41:34how can a man be sure?

0:41:46 > 0:41:48Will you take me with you?

0:41:50 > 0:41:53You had it all figured out, didn't you?

0:41:56 > 0:42:00You mean you'd really leave your father and everything here?

0:42:00 > 0:42:02If I have to...

0:42:02 > 0:42:04to keep you.

0:42:05 > 0:42:08I could be wrong about you.

0:42:21 > 0:42:25I have my jewels, so we can raise a little money.

0:42:25 > 0:42:27I can sell my car,

0:42:27 > 0:42:28and we'll get you a shop.

0:42:28 > 0:42:32Not the big one that we'd planned, but something.

0:42:32 > 0:42:35I know it won't be very easy.

0:42:35 > 0:42:37It'll be rough.

0:42:38 > 0:42:40Maybe you'd better think it over.

0:42:40 > 0:42:44I want to be sure that you know what you're getting into.

0:42:44 > 0:42:46But I am sure.

0:42:46 > 0:42:47Aren't you?

0:42:47 > 0:42:50CAR APPROACHES

0:42:50 > 0:42:51That must be her now.

0:42:51 > 0:42:53You'd better get out of here.

0:42:53 > 0:42:56We'll think it over for a couple of days.

0:42:56 > 0:42:58You won't leave?

0:42:58 > 0:43:00You won't go without me, promise?

0:45:03 > 0:45:06No. Thursday off.

0:45:06 > 0:45:08Oh, could you help me, dear? I've looked everywhere.

0:45:08 > 0:45:09I can't find a single pair of gloves.

0:45:09 > 0:45:11I don't know where they've all gone.

0:45:11 > 0:45:12Take a pair of mine.

0:45:12 > 0:45:14Oh, thank you, dear.

0:45:20 > 0:45:21Will these do?

0:45:23 > 0:45:25But they're new. I'd hate to lose them.

0:45:25 > 0:45:26Haven't you any...

0:45:26 > 0:45:28Please take them. I'd like you to.

0:45:28 > 0:45:29Why, thank you, dear.

0:45:29 > 0:45:32You can be so sweet at times.

0:45:32 > 0:45:34Oh, dear. I must rush.

0:45:50 > 0:45:52Oh, Diane. Now I can't find Frank.

0:45:52 > 0:45:53Do you know where he is?

0:45:53 > 0:45:55That man's never there when you want him.

0:45:55 > 0:45:56Frank?

0:45:56 > 0:45:58Yes. I don't know what's got into him the last few days.

0:45:58 > 0:46:00I'm so sorry. It's my fault.

0:46:00 > 0:46:01I completely forgot.

0:46:01 > 0:46:03It's something to do with a tappet rod.

0:46:03 > 0:46:05I said he could take my car and pick it up.

0:46:05 > 0:46:06You forgot?

0:46:06 > 0:46:08Well, you know I have to be in Santa Barbara by 12.00.

0:46:08 > 0:46:10Well, maybe he'll be back soon.

0:46:10 > 0:46:12Maybe? They don't just hold up bridge tournaments, you know.

0:46:12 > 0:46:13Well, I'll drive you.

0:46:13 > 0:46:15Oh, no, thank you. I'll drive myself.

0:46:15 > 0:46:17Goodbye, dear. Wish me luck.

0:46:42 > 0:46:44I'm very late. Any other time.

0:46:46 > 0:46:48Why don't you ask Diane?

0:46:48 > 0:46:49Her car's not here.

0:46:49 > 0:46:51Very well, I'll drop you, but hurry, please.

0:46:51 > 0:46:54Wonderful. This way I can keep my appointment.

0:47:46 > 0:47:48Fine, Ed. How are you?

0:47:48 > 0:47:49Fine. Sit down.

0:47:49 > 0:47:52Someone was asking about you just the other night.

0:47:52 > 0:47:53That redheaded partner of yours?

0:47:53 > 0:47:54Oh, Bill.

0:47:54 > 0:47:56I haven't seen much of him lately.

0:47:56 > 0:47:58Driving for people like the Tremaines

0:48:01 > 0:48:03I wouldn't say that.

0:48:03 > 0:48:06Job just kept me pretty busy, that's all.

0:48:06 > 0:48:08Looks like you'll have to find a new one now,

0:48:11 > 0:48:13About a month.

0:48:13 > 0:48:15How'd you happen to land that job, anyway?

0:48:15 > 0:48:18Just happened to fall into it.

0:48:18 > 0:48:20We got a call from up there one night.

0:48:20 > 0:48:21Yeah, I know.

0:48:21 > 0:48:24I got the report right here.

0:48:26 > 0:48:28Asphyxiation case. Mrs Tremaine.

0:48:28 > 0:48:29Probably accidental.

0:48:29 > 0:48:31Sure makes you wonder, don't it?

0:48:31 > 0:48:33What do you mean?

0:48:33 > 0:48:36She claimed somebody tried to murder her.

0:48:36 > 0:48:37She was hysterical.

0:48:37 > 0:48:39Why would anyone try to murder her?

0:48:39 > 0:48:40Are you kidding?

0:48:40 > 0:48:42A woman with her kind of money?

0:48:42 > 0:48:44Oh, by the way, Frank,

0:48:44 > 0:48:47what sort of a girl is this stepdaughter, er...

0:48:47 > 0:48:50Diane?

0:48:50 > 0:48:53Very nice girl. Very pretty girl.

0:48:53 > 0:48:56Any boyfriends?

0:48:56 > 0:48:57None that I ever saw.

0:48:57 > 0:48:59She and her father were very close.

0:48:59 > 0:49:02But didn't get along with her stepmother, huh?

0:49:02 > 0:49:03I didn't say that, Ed.

0:49:03 > 0:49:05OK.

0:49:05 > 0:49:08When was the last time you drove the Tremaine car?

0:49:08 > 0:49:11This morning when I took it out of the garage.

0:49:11 > 0:49:13You notice anything wrong with it?

0:49:13 > 0:49:14Not a thing.

0:49:14 > 0:49:17Well, do you remember whether you left it in gear?

0:49:17 > 0:49:18In reverse, maybe.

0:49:18 > 0:49:21No. No, I'd say not.

0:49:21 > 0:49:23With me, it's automatic to shift into neutral

0:49:32 > 0:49:35All right, bring it in.

0:49:35 > 0:49:38Getting back to the stepdaughter,

0:49:38 > 0:49:41you say she had no boyfriends, huh?

0:49:41 > 0:49:43Well, not that I know of.

0:49:44 > 0:49:48You and the girl weren't planning to run off together,

0:49:48 > 0:49:50now, were you? No.

0:49:53 > 0:49:55Then how do you account for her suitcase

0:49:55 > 0:49:57in your room?

0:49:57 > 0:49:58Well, Ed, it's the suit...

0:49:58 > 0:50:00Hold it.

0:50:00 > 0:50:02If I were in your spot, Frank,

0:50:02 > 0:50:04I'd hire myself a lawyer.

0:50:10 > 0:50:11You can imagine what a shock it was.

0:50:11 > 0:50:12I've known Catherine for 20 years.

0:50:12 > 0:50:14Her father was one of my first clients.

0:50:14 > 0:50:15Did you draw up the will?

0:50:15 > 0:50:16Two years ago.

0:50:16 > 0:50:18Tremaine was to get a fixed income as long as he lived.

0:50:18 > 0:50:20He wasn't very practical about money.

0:50:20 > 0:50:21The bulk of the estate was to go to Diane.

0:50:21 > 0:50:23The district attorney will use that against us.

0:50:23 > 0:50:24Hello, Kelly.

0:50:24 > 0:50:26Oh, hello, Mr Barrett.

0:50:28 > 0:50:32We're here to see Miss Diane Tremaine.

0:50:32 > 0:50:33Come in.

0:50:33 > 0:50:34You're looking good, boy.

0:50:34 > 0:50:36Thanks. This is Mr Barrett, Sergeant.

0:50:36 > 0:50:37Hello, Sergeant, and Arthur Vance.

0:50:37 > 0:50:39Good morning, good morning, Sergeant.

0:50:44 > 0:50:46I wish you wouldn't speak too much about her father.

0:50:46 > 0:50:49Today's the first day that she's gone without sedatives.

0:50:49 > 0:50:50She idolised the man, Fred.

0:50:50 > 0:50:52It's no wonder her nerves are cracked.

0:50:52 > 0:50:53Ah.

0:50:54 > 0:50:56Theresa.

0:50:56 > 0:50:57Hello, Theresa.

0:50:57 > 0:50:59Hello. Right over there.

0:50:59 > 0:51:00Legal eagle Barrett.

0:51:00 > 0:51:02That Tremaine dame really must be in trouble.

0:51:02 > 0:51:05Quiet, Lorna. That's no way to talk.

0:51:09 > 0:51:10Tremaine.

0:51:11 > 0:51:14Miss Tremaine, your lawyers are here.

0:51:17 > 0:51:19Diane, this is Fred Barrett.

0:51:19 > 0:51:21He's going to handle your defence.

0:51:21 > 0:51:23Fred is just about the best trial man in the country,

0:51:23 > 0:51:26and we were very lucky to get him.

0:51:26 > 0:51:28But I don't want anyone to defend me.

0:51:28 > 0:51:30I know just how you feel.

0:51:30 > 0:51:32It's the most natural reaction in the world.

0:51:32 > 0:51:36I would want my daughter to feel the same.

0:51:36 > 0:51:38She's just about your age.

0:51:38 > 0:51:42But, Diane, a girl of 20 has her whole life ahead of her.

0:51:42 > 0:51:45You must not permit your grief, understandable as it may be...

0:51:45 > 0:51:47But I did it.

0:51:47 > 0:51:48You mustn't say such things.

0:51:48 > 0:51:51That's all right. Let her talk.

0:51:51 > 0:51:52Go ahead.

0:51:54 > 0:51:57I did it all by myself.

0:51:58 > 0:52:00Not Frank.

0:52:00 > 0:52:03BARRETT: You're a very sick girl.

0:52:03 > 0:52:05You know that, don't you?

0:52:05 > 0:52:06Otherwise you wouldn't be here.

0:52:06 > 0:52:08I know what I'm saying.

0:52:08 > 0:52:12Sure, but the doctor doesn't want you to make any statement.

0:52:12 > 0:52:14That's why he hasn't permitted the district attorney

0:52:14 > 0:52:15to question you yet.

0:52:15 > 0:52:17But Frank is innocent.

0:52:17 > 0:52:21The law says you're both innocent until proved guilty.

0:52:21 > 0:52:23Both. Do you understand?

0:52:23 > 0:52:26Now, I want you to listen, Diane, very carefully.

0:52:26 > 0:52:30Everything the district attorney has...

0:52:30 > 0:52:34all the evidence... links you and Frank together.

0:52:34 > 0:52:36The motive, the means, the opportunity.

0:52:36 > 0:52:38It wouldn't do either one of you any good

0:52:38 > 0:52:40to shoulder the blame or to pass it on.

0:52:40 > 0:52:45It would only convince a jury you're both lying, both guilty.

0:52:45 > 0:52:47But I'm telling the truth.

0:52:47 > 0:52:50The truth is what the jury decides.

0:52:50 > 0:52:52Not you, not me, not Frank.

0:52:52 > 0:52:55If you quit, he's through, too,

0:52:55 > 0:52:58but if you want to fight, he has a chance...

0:52:58 > 0:53:00I think a pretty good chance.

0:53:01 > 0:53:03I don't have to cooperate, Mr Barrett,

0:53:03 > 0:53:04and I already have my own attorney.

0:53:04 > 0:53:06You'll keep your own lawyer.

0:53:06 > 0:53:07Mr Louis is not going to leave the case.

0:53:07 > 0:53:09Of course not, but I don't think

0:53:09 > 0:53:11we should disregard Mr Barrett's offer.

0:53:11 > 0:53:13To be very blunt, Mr Jessup,

0:53:13 > 0:53:15I'm not particularly interested in saving your neck.

0:53:15 > 0:53:18My only concern is with my client Diane Tremaine.

0:53:18 > 0:53:20Yeah, that's what I figured.

0:53:20 > 0:53:21But the point is,

0:53:21 > 0:53:24you have a much better chance together than separately,

0:53:24 > 0:53:27and the evidence actually points much more to you than it does to her.

0:53:27 > 0:53:29The fact that an automobile was involved...

0:53:29 > 0:53:31If she thinks she can get away with that,

0:53:31 > 0:53:32she's lost her mind.

0:53:32 > 0:53:35No-one's trying to get away with anything,

0:53:35 > 0:53:38but in cases like this, you can't overlook the personal equation.

0:53:38 > 0:53:40She'll get a lot of sympathy.

0:53:40 > 0:53:42A pretty girl, deeply devoted to her father,

0:53:42 > 0:53:44on the best of terms with her stepmother,

0:53:44 > 0:53:47who was a kind and generous woman, as you well know.

0:53:47 > 0:53:48Oh, do I?

0:53:48 > 0:53:50The family lawyer told me she was planning

0:53:50 > 0:53:52to set you up in the garage business.

0:53:52 > 0:53:55That's not what Diane said. Somebody's lying.

0:53:55 > 0:53:57Probably a misunderstanding,

0:53:57 > 0:53:59but it's not important. What I want to know

0:53:59 > 0:54:01is whether you're willing to follow our strategy.

0:54:01 > 0:54:04Frank, you ought to bear in mind Mr Barrett's record.

0:54:04 > 0:54:06He's never lost a case yet.

0:54:06 > 0:54:07Let's not say never.

0:54:07 > 0:54:10Suppose you tell us what you have in mind, Mr Barrett.

0:54:10 > 0:54:12Your client and mine are getting married.

0:54:12 > 0:54:13We're what? Just a moment.

0:54:13 > 0:54:16I don't quite follow you on this marriage idea.

0:54:16 > 0:54:19It's very simple. All the world loves a lover.

0:54:19 > 0:54:20Juries are no exception.

0:54:20 > 0:54:23No, Mr Barrett. Nothing doing.

0:54:23 > 0:54:26The DA is going to make a lot of that suitcase in his room.

0:54:26 > 0:54:28He'll accuse them of having an affair.

0:54:28 > 0:54:29We'll make a virtue of it.

0:54:29 > 0:54:31Certainly they were lovers,

0:54:31 > 0:54:33and not ashamed to admit it,

0:54:33 > 0:54:34but a tragic accident

0:54:34 > 0:54:36and the intervention of the police prevented their elope,

0:54:36 > 0:54:40but even prison bars cannot change their love or halt the marriage.

0:54:40 > 0:54:42But wouldn't the district attorney block it?

0:54:42 > 0:54:44He wouldn't dare stand in the path of true love

0:54:44 > 0:54:46with an election coming up in November.

0:54:46 > 0:54:48Think it over, Mr Jessup.

0:54:48 > 0:54:49Let me know his decision as soon as possible.

0:54:49 > 0:54:52I now pronounce you man and wife.

0:54:52 > 0:54:54Congratulations. You're married now.

0:54:54 > 0:54:56You may kiss the bride.

0:55:00 > 0:55:02May I take just one?

0:55:02 > 0:55:03No pictures, please.

0:55:03 > 0:55:05Never let it be said this wedding was arranged

0:55:05 > 0:55:06with any thought of publicity.

0:55:06 > 0:55:07Congratulations.

0:55:07 > 0:55:08All the happiness in the world.

0:55:08 > 0:55:09Sorry we can't stay for the party.

0:55:09 > 0:55:11We thought you'd like a cake,

0:55:11 > 0:55:13so the girls chipped in.

0:55:13 > 0:55:15There ain't much we can say,

0:55:15 > 0:55:19but, kids, we sure hope you beat the rap.

0:55:20 > 0:55:26# Oh, promise me that someday you and I

0:55:26 > 0:55:31# Will take our love together to the sky

0:55:31 > 0:55:37# Where we can be alone and then renew

0:55:37 > 0:55:44# And find the hollows where those flowers grew

0:55:44 > 0:55:52# The birds we fly with, the birds will sing... #

0:55:54 > 0:55:56Have you reached any decision about the plea?

0:55:56 > 0:55:57Not guilty.

0:55:57 > 0:55:59Isn't that too much of a gamble?

0:55:59 > 0:56:01Well, what happens if we plead insanity?

0:56:01 > 0:56:03They turn her over to the DA'S psychiatrist.

0:56:03 > 0:56:04You know what that means -

0:56:04 > 0:56:05questions, answers...

0:56:05 > 0:56:07No. We wouldn't want that.

0:56:07 > 0:56:09And what if they did find she was off?

0:56:09 > 0:56:10That wouldn't help the man, would it?

0:56:10 > 0:56:12Insanity's not contagious.

0:56:12 > 0:56:13At least we can't prove it.

0:56:13 > 0:56:15Besides, it would tie up the estate.

0:56:17 > 0:56:18GAVEL POUNDS

0:56:18 > 0:56:20Will you please continue, Mr Miller?

0:56:20 > 0:56:24So that rod connected to the gearshift lever...

0:56:24 > 0:56:29on the steering post... comes down here...

0:56:31 > 0:56:34..and is coupled to the bell crank here...

0:56:36 > 0:56:38..by a Cotter pin.

0:56:38 > 0:56:40Will you demonstrate just how that operates, Mr Miller?

0:56:40 > 0:56:43Yes, sir, if someone would be good enough

0:56:43 > 0:56:44to shift into reverse for me.

0:56:44 > 0:56:45I'll try.

0:56:45 > 0:56:46Just a moment.

0:56:48 > 0:56:50All right, now.

0:56:50 > 0:56:52See, the bell crank moves forward.

0:56:52 > 0:56:53In drive.

0:56:53 > 0:56:55Back.

0:56:55 > 0:56:58But if I were to remove this Cotter pin...

0:56:58 > 0:57:00and uncouple this shifting rod...

0:57:00 > 0:57:02very simple operation, as you can see...

0:57:02 > 0:57:05then no matter what you do with the shift lever,

0:57:05 > 0:57:08the bell crank remains as it was,

0:57:08 > 0:57:10in drive, neutral, or reverse,

0:57:10 > 0:57:11wherever it may happen to be.

0:57:11 > 0:57:15Thank you. You made it quite clear.

0:57:15 > 0:57:19Now, Mr Miller, will you point out the throttle retractor spring

0:57:19 > 0:57:21and explain its purpose?

0:57:21 > 0:57:22Yes, sir.

0:57:23 > 0:57:27Now, this is the throttle retractor spring.

0:57:27 > 0:57:30Its function is to control the amount of gasoline released

0:57:30 > 0:57:32when you step down on the accelerator.

0:57:32 > 0:57:35Was this spring found in the wrecked car?

0:57:35 > 0:57:37No, sir.

0:57:37 > 0:57:40This part, ladies and gentlemen of the jury,

0:57:40 > 0:57:44was missing from the wrecked Tremaine car.

0:57:44 > 0:57:48Now, will you explain what happens if this spring is removed?

0:57:48 > 0:57:52Well, a person stepping down on the accelerator opens it wide,

0:57:52 > 0:57:55like putting the gas pedal right to the floor.

0:57:55 > 0:57:57In other words, er, giving the motor full throttle.

0:57:57 > 0:57:59Yes, sir. Thank you.

0:57:59 > 0:58:03Now, this motor was removed from the wrecked Tremaine car

0:58:03 > 0:58:04under your supervision?

0:58:04 > 0:58:06Yes, sir.

0:58:06 > 0:58:08And what did you find in connection with the gearshift rod?

0:58:08 > 0:58:09That there was no connection.

0:58:09 > 0:58:12It had been disconnected, and the Cotter pin had been removed.

0:58:12 > 0:58:14May the answer be stricken.

0:58:14 > 0:58:17The witness cannot know that the pin or any other part was removed,

0:58:17 > 0:58:18or that anything had been disconnected.

0:58:18 > 0:58:20Motion granted.

0:58:20 > 0:58:22But the Cotter pin was missing?

0:58:22 > 0:58:23That is correct.

0:58:23 > 0:58:25So was the throttle retractor spring. It was off, too.

0:58:25 > 0:58:27And in what position was the bell crank?

0:58:27 > 0:58:29In neutral, in drive, or reverse?

0:58:29 > 0:58:30It was in reverse.

0:58:30 > 0:58:32And will you tell the jury in what position

0:58:32 > 0:58:34was the shift lever on the steering wheel?

0:58:34 > 0:58:36It was pointed at drive.

0:58:36 > 0:58:39Now, Mr Miller, would you say that in your opinion

0:58:39 > 0:58:41the Tremaine car had been tampered with?

0:58:41 > 0:58:42Objection.

0:58:42 > 0:58:43As a qualified expert,

0:58:43 > 0:58:46the witness is permitted to express his opinion

0:58:46 > 0:58:48as to the result of his investigation.

0:58:48 > 0:58:49Exception.

0:58:51 > 0:58:53Well, Mr Miller?

0:58:54 > 0:58:57Yes, sir, I would say that it had been tampered with.

0:58:57 > 0:58:59You may cross-examine, Mr Barrett.

0:58:59 > 0:59:04Mr Miller, it has been testified that the Tremaine automobile

0:59:04 > 0:59:07fell a total distance of 150 feet,

0:59:07 > 0:59:09hitting and bouncing off rocks in its descent,

0:59:09 > 0:59:12and now you say that, strangely enough,

0:59:12 > 0:59:15certain parts of this motor are missing or damaged.

0:59:15 > 0:59:17As I look at this heap of metal before me,

0:59:17 > 0:59:21I can't help but wonder that any part of it escaped undamaged.

0:59:21 > 0:59:24And as for missing parts,

0:59:24 > 0:59:27do you see a carburetor, for instance?

0:59:27 > 0:59:30No, sir. It was either unrecognisable or couldn't be found,

0:59:30 > 0:59:33but there wasn't as much damage done to the shift mechanism.

0:59:33 > 0:59:35Couldn't the throttle spring have been dislodged

0:59:35 > 0:59:37by the impact of the crash?

0:59:37 > 0:59:40The very fact that it was a spring with play in it

0:59:40 > 0:59:42would make me be inclined to think...

0:59:42 > 0:59:45Forgetting your inclinations for the moment, Mr Miller,

0:59:45 > 0:59:47isn't it a possibility?

0:59:47 > 0:59:48Yes, I'd have to say that.

0:59:48 > 0:59:50You testified that the lever on the steering wheel

0:59:50 > 0:59:54was found pointing to drive while the car was actually in reverse.

0:59:54 > 0:59:57Now I ask whether in your opinion

0:59:57 > 0:59:59this lever could not have been jarred

0:59:59 > 1:00:00from one position to the other

1:00:00 > 1:00:01during the course of the drop.

1:00:01 > 1:00:03It might, but, uh...

1:00:03 > 1:00:04And this, er, missing connection,

1:00:04 > 1:00:06could that have broken off when the car struck on the rocks?

1:00:06 > 1:00:09No, sir. Not in my opinion.

1:00:09 > 1:00:10If it had, you'd expect to see a part

1:00:10 > 1:00:13of the sheared-off Cotter pin in one of the holes,

1:00:13 > 1:00:17or scratches, or marks, or some bending to show where it had pulled out.

1:00:17 > 1:00:18There wasn't a sign.

1:00:18 > 1:00:21Excuse me, but, er, could I ask the witness a question?

1:00:21 > 1:00:23By all means.

1:00:23 > 1:00:25Is it improper to ask if maybe this Cotter pin

1:00:25 > 1:00:26mightn't have been defective?

1:00:26 > 1:00:28I only ask because I had one bust off

1:00:28 > 1:00:30when I was fixing my kid's express wagon last week.

1:00:30 > 1:00:33That's a very good question, sir.

1:00:33 > 1:00:35Mr Miller, will you answer the juror?

1:00:35 > 1:00:38He asks, might not the Cotter pin have been defective?

1:00:38 > 1:00:40Well, maybe one in a million might be, but...

1:00:40 > 1:00:42Mr Miller, would you be willing to stake your life

1:00:42 > 1:00:45on there being only one defective Cotter pin in a million?

1:00:45 > 1:00:47Think carefully now.

1:00:47 > 1:00:49Remember our juror came across one just last week.

1:00:49 > 1:00:50Maybe not a million, but I...

1:00:50 > 1:00:52Maybe 1 in 1,000. Maybe one in 100.

1:00:52 > 1:00:54Your honour, the question is argumentative.

1:00:54 > 1:00:56I object to counsel badgering the witness

1:00:56 > 1:00:57over this relatively minor point.

1:00:57 > 1:01:01No point is minor when the lives of two innocent people...

1:01:01 > 1:01:03Now, gentlemen, let's have no bickering.

1:01:03 > 1:01:05Defense counsel is quite within his rights.

1:01:05 > 1:01:07Could I ask another question now?

1:01:07 > 1:01:08You certainly may.

1:01:08 > 1:01:10Well, what I'd like to know from Mr Miller

1:01:10 > 1:01:14is whether rigging a car like he says is a very complicated thing,

1:01:14 > 1:01:16or could anyone do it, even a woman?

1:01:16 > 1:01:18Tell the juror, Mr Miller.

1:01:18 > 1:01:20Well, as I said before, it's a very simple mechanical operation.

1:01:20 > 1:01:24Once it had been explained, I'm sure you could do it yourself, sir,

1:01:24 > 1:01:25in a matter of minutes.

1:01:25 > 1:01:26Thank you. Thank you.

1:01:26 > 1:01:29Mr Miller, you live in Detroit, do you not?

1:01:29 > 1:01:30Yes, sir.

1:01:30 > 1:01:31Then will you please tell the jury

1:01:31 > 1:01:33who brought you out here from Detroit

1:01:33 > 1:01:35and employed you to make this investigation?

1:01:35 > 1:01:36Objection. Counsel has no right

1:01:36 > 1:01:38to question the integrity of the witness.

1:01:38 > 1:01:40Your honour, since Mr Miller is employed

1:01:40 > 1:01:42by the same insurance companies who wrote the Tremaine policies

1:01:42 > 1:01:45and stand to save in excess of 300,000

1:01:45 > 1:01:47if murder rather than a simple accident can be proven...

1:01:47 > 1:01:49If your honour please, counsel's remarks

1:01:49 > 1:01:50are out of order and prejudicial.

1:01:50 > 1:01:54Sustained. Jurors are instructed to disregard counsel's statement.

1:01:54 > 1:01:56With his knowledge of mechanics

1:01:56 > 1:02:00and her familiarity with the victims' habits,

1:02:00 > 1:02:02they plotted this murder.

1:02:04 > 1:02:07Premeditated, cold-blooded murder,

1:02:07 > 1:02:09but the plot did not stop there.

1:02:09 > 1:02:11They planned every detail,

1:02:11 > 1:02:14even beyond the crime itself.

1:02:14 > 1:02:17Her, er, breakdown when taken to the morgue

1:02:17 > 1:02:21to identify the bodies of Charles and Catherine Tremaine

1:02:21 > 1:02:26was a calculated bid for public sympathy.

1:02:26 > 1:02:30However, they made one seemingly insignificant mistake.

1:02:30 > 1:02:33Diane Tremaine's suitcase was found

1:02:33 > 1:02:36in the garage apartment of Frank Jessup,

1:02:36 > 1:02:38and then, in desperation,

1:02:38 > 1:02:41when confronted with a growing chain of evidence,

1:02:41 > 1:02:44they sought to remedy the situation

1:02:44 > 1:02:46by getting married...

1:02:46 > 1:02:49and playing the part of the two young lovers

1:02:49 > 1:02:54for the benefit of every tabloid scandal sheet in the country.

1:02:54 > 1:02:58I say the word "love" is profaned

1:02:58 > 1:03:02when applied to their unhealthy, shameless passion,

1:03:02 > 1:03:06and their marriage, under these circumstances,

1:03:06 > 1:03:07is a travesty.

1:03:07 > 1:03:12I could have stopped it, ladies and gentlemen of the jury,

1:03:12 > 1:03:13but I did not...

1:03:15 > 1:03:18because in the last analysis,

1:03:18 > 1:03:23I knew it would damn them as utterly in your eyes

1:03:23 > 1:03:25as it did in mine.

1:03:25 > 1:03:28I must admit I had a few anxious moments

1:03:28 > 1:03:31under the spell of the district attorney's brilliant eloquence.

1:03:31 > 1:03:36For a while, he almost had me believing the prosecution had a case,

1:03:36 > 1:03:39until you strip away the opulent phrases and get down to facts,

1:03:39 > 1:03:42and then you discover he has no case.

1:03:42 > 1:03:46He argues that Frank Jessup's mechanical skill and knowledge

1:03:46 > 1:03:50was necessary to transform the automobile into a murder weapon,

1:03:50 > 1:03:54yet his own witness, in answer to a question put by one of you,

1:03:54 > 1:03:56ladies and gentlemen,

1:03:56 > 1:03:59clearly stated that anyone without any special technical skill

1:03:59 > 1:04:02could have rigged that car in a few minutes

1:04:02 > 1:04:05in the way the district attorney imagines it was rigged.

1:04:05 > 1:04:07But why linger on details

1:04:07 > 1:04:11when the district attorney has not presented one bit of conclusive evidence

1:04:11 > 1:04:14that the car ever was tampered with.

1:04:14 > 1:04:16And here I must remind you,

1:04:16 > 1:04:19the burden of proof is on the prosecution.

1:04:19 > 1:04:22If there's the slightest bit of doubt left in your minds,

1:04:22 > 1:04:25then your verdict must be not guilty.

1:04:25 > 1:04:28But the district attorney asked you

1:04:28 > 1:04:33to send these two young people to the gas chamber for yet another reason -

1:04:33 > 1:04:35because they're in love.

1:04:35 > 1:04:38Ladies and gentlemen, I was shocked and surprised to hear Mr Judson

1:04:38 > 1:04:40blacken the characters of a man and woman

1:04:40 > 1:04:44whose only offence to society is that they happened to fall in love.

1:04:44 > 1:04:47A young girl wanted to leave a luxurious home,

1:04:47 > 1:04:50elope with a hard-working, ambitious war veteran,

1:04:50 > 1:04:52and build a simple life together.

1:04:52 > 1:04:54Is this profane and shameless?

1:04:54 > 1:04:58I leave the answer to you, ladies and gentlemen.

1:04:58 > 1:05:00If love is a crime,

1:05:00 > 1:05:04Diane and Frank Jessup are guilty,

1:05:04 > 1:05:06but this is the only crime that can be

1:05:06 > 1:05:09or has been proved against them.

1:05:09 > 1:05:11Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,

1:05:11 > 1:05:13have you reached a verdict?

1:05:14 > 1:05:16We have, your honour.

1:05:31 > 1:05:34The clerk will please read the verdict.

1:05:37 > 1:05:40"People of the state of California vs Frank Jessup

1:05:40 > 1:05:41"and Diane Tremaine Jessup,

1:05:41 > 1:05:45"number 542341.

1:05:45 > 1:05:48"We, the jury, in the above entitled action,

1:05:48 > 1:05:50"find the defendants not guilty."

1:05:50 > 1:05:52CHEERING AND SHOUTING

1:05:52 > 1:05:55Quiet, please! Order in the court!

1:06:08 > 1:06:10Well, we deserve a little rest, all of us.

1:06:10 > 1:06:11Won't you come in, Arthur?

1:06:11 > 1:06:12Some other time maybe.

1:06:12 > 1:06:14I've hardly seen my family in weeks.

1:06:14 > 1:06:15Thanks again, Mr Vance.

1:06:15 > 1:06:17Best of luck to both of you. Goodbye, Diane.

1:06:17 > 1:06:20Welcome home, Mr and Mrs Jessup. Very happy occasion.

1:06:20 > 1:06:22Hello, Ito. Chio.

1:06:22 > 1:06:23Thank you both.

1:06:25 > 1:06:28Lunch is ready anytime, Miss Diane.

1:06:28 > 1:06:31Not quite yet, Ito.

1:06:31 > 1:06:32We'll let you know.

1:06:32 > 1:06:33Yes, sir.

1:06:36 > 1:06:39Well, somebody thinks we ought to celebrate.

1:06:39 > 1:06:40Why not?

1:06:40 > 1:06:42Champagne? I'd much rather have bourbon,

1:06:42 > 1:06:45but I guess this'll do.

1:06:45 > 1:06:46I'll get some bourbon for you.

1:06:46 > 1:06:47Don't bother.

1:06:47 > 1:06:49Oh, it's no trouble at all.

1:06:49 > 1:06:50I said never mind.

1:06:50 > 1:06:54I guess I don't feel like a drink anyway.

1:06:57 > 1:07:02I don't suppose you'll ever forget or forgive me for...

1:07:02 > 1:07:05I shouldn't even have asked.

1:07:06 > 1:07:10But I want you to know one thing, and believe it -

1:07:10 > 1:07:14I would give my life gladly to bring them back,

1:07:14 > 1:07:16both of them.

1:07:19 > 1:07:24I was only ten when my mother was caught in that air raid.

1:07:24 > 1:07:26I had no friends,

1:07:26 > 1:07:30so my father became everything to me.

1:07:32 > 1:07:35And then he met Catherine.

1:07:35 > 1:07:38I resented her from the first.

1:07:41 > 1:07:43I remember I used to play a game,

1:07:43 > 1:07:46a game of pretend.

1:07:46 > 1:07:50It always began, "If Catherine were dead..."

1:07:51 > 1:07:54I used to imagine all the wonderful things

1:07:54 > 1:07:56that Daddy and I would do together.

1:07:56 > 1:07:59Death was only a word.

1:07:59 > 1:08:02I never really knew what it meant,

1:08:02 > 1:08:04until I saw his body and hers,

1:08:04 > 1:08:07hurt and broken.

1:08:09 > 1:08:13And then I suddenly realised that she had loved him, too...

1:08:14 > 1:08:17..and had done actually nothing to harm me.

1:08:17 > 1:08:19Well, it's done.

1:08:19 > 1:08:21All the talk in the world won't change it.

1:08:21 > 1:08:23Please don't leave me.

1:08:23 > 1:08:27I wouldn't know what to do with my life without you.

1:08:27 > 1:08:29Oh, you'll make out.

1:08:29 > 1:08:32You're in the clear now. You don't need me anymore.

1:08:32 > 1:08:34We've gone through all this together.

1:08:34 > 1:08:35We've gone through all this together

1:08:35 > 1:08:36because a smart lawyer

1:08:36 > 1:08:37had his jury figured right

1:08:37 > 1:08:38and for no other reason.

1:08:38 > 1:08:40Don't try to make anything else of it.

1:08:40 > 1:08:42I don't blame you for being bitter,

1:08:42 > 1:08:46but I did try to tell the truth. I wanted to confess.

1:08:46 > 1:08:49He told me they wouldn't believe me

1:08:49 > 1:08:50and they'd find you guilty, too.

1:08:50 > 1:08:53Oh, I see. This was all for my sake.

1:08:53 > 1:08:57Well, all right, if that makes you feel any better,

1:08:57 > 1:08:59but you might as well tell your lawyers

1:08:59 > 1:09:01to start preparing the divorce papers,

1:09:01 > 1:09:02because I'm clearing out.

1:09:02 > 1:09:04Mary won't take you back.

1:09:06 > 1:09:08You want to bet?

1:09:08 > 1:09:11She wouldn't want to spend the rest of her life

1:09:11 > 1:09:13wondering whether her husband

1:09:13 > 1:09:14really committed a murder.

1:09:14 > 1:09:17What do you know about a girl like Mary?

1:09:17 > 1:09:19You don't even think the same.

1:09:19 > 1:09:22No, and we don't love the same, either.

1:09:22 > 1:09:24It wouldn't matter to me what you were

1:09:24 > 1:09:26or what you did, and you know it.

1:09:26 > 1:09:28You don't hate me, really.

1:09:28 > 1:09:30You couldn't hate anybody who loves you

1:09:30 > 1:09:31as much as I do.

1:09:31 > 1:09:34No, I don't hate you, but I'm getting out just the same.

1:09:34 > 1:09:37Do you still want to make that bet?

1:09:37 > 1:09:38Name it.

1:09:38 > 1:09:42Remember, I'm not in the same league with you financially.

1:09:42 > 1:09:46Take my car. If I'm wrong, it's yours.

1:09:46 > 1:09:49If I'm right, bring it back.

1:09:51 > 1:09:53You mean bring the car back?

1:09:53 > 1:09:57That's right.

1:09:57 > 1:09:58That's fair enough.

1:10:08 > 1:10:10DOOR CLOSES

1:10:18 > 1:10:20DOORBELL BUZZES

1:10:24 > 1:10:27I could say I just happened to be passing by.

1:10:27 > 1:10:28Come in, Frank.

1:10:28 > 1:10:31Thanks.

1:10:31 > 1:10:35Mary, it meant a lot to me to see you in court every day,

1:10:37 > 1:10:39That's all right.

1:10:40 > 1:10:41One cold beer in the house, and you show up.

1:10:41 > 1:10:43It's all yours.

1:10:43 > 1:10:45We couldn't get near you in court this morning.

1:10:45 > 1:10:47Anyhow, I guess you know without our saying.

1:10:47 > 1:10:50Let's skip it. I'd like to forget the whole thing.

1:10:50 > 1:10:54Right now, I'd, er, like to talk to Mary alone.

1:10:54 > 1:10:55Objection.

1:10:55 > 1:10:58And I'm not going to be overruled by anyone, either.

1:10:58 > 1:10:59Anything you want to say to Mary,

1:10:59 > 1:11:00you can say in front of me.

1:11:00 > 1:11:01OK.

1:11:05 > 1:11:07Mary, about my marriage...

1:11:07 > 1:11:11I want you to know there never really was anything to it,

1:11:11 > 1:11:13just something that Barrett cooked up for the trial.

1:11:13 > 1:11:16I'm getting a divorce.

1:11:16 > 1:11:18And that's supposed to make everything just dandy, huh?

1:11:18 > 1:11:21I'm not talking to you, Bill. This is between Mary and me.

1:11:21 > 1:11:23No, it's between Mary and me.

1:11:23 > 1:11:25Please, let's not have any fuss.

1:11:25 > 1:11:26I'm not making any fuss.

1:11:26 > 1:11:28Just set him straight, that's all.

1:11:28 > 1:11:30I'm trying to, if you'll give me the chance.

1:11:30 > 1:11:32I'm sorry, Frank, but Bill is right.

1:11:32 > 1:11:35You can't just walk in the door

1:11:35 > 1:11:36and say "I'm getting a divorce"

1:11:36 > 1:11:38and expect me to fall into your arms.

1:11:38 > 1:11:40I don't expect that.

1:11:40 > 1:11:42I know I was off base. I'll make it up to you.

1:11:42 > 1:11:45All I'm asking is a chance, unless he's afraid of the competition.

1:11:45 > 1:11:48OK, if you want to talk it over, it's OK with me.

1:11:48 > 1:11:50No, Bill. Don't go.

1:11:56 > 1:11:58that's afraid of the competition.

1:11:58 > 1:12:00Frank, you know the night at the hospital,

1:12:00 > 1:12:02when the call came in from the Tremaine place?

1:12:02 > 1:12:07Yeah. Yeah, if it had just come five minutes later.

1:12:07 > 1:12:08That's what I told myself at first,

1:12:08 > 1:12:11and I wished with all my heart

1:12:11 > 1:12:13it had happened that way,

1:12:13 > 1:12:16but Bill was on that call, too.

1:12:16 > 1:12:18Remember?

1:12:18 > 1:12:21Frank, with you, I'd always be worrying,

1:12:21 > 1:12:23because there are a lot of Dianes around,

1:12:23 > 1:12:26and I want a marriage, not a competition.

1:12:26 > 1:12:28I want a husband,

1:12:28 > 1:12:33not a trophy I have to defend over and over again.

1:12:33 > 1:12:35Maybe you would keep coming back,

1:12:35 > 1:12:38but that's not for me.

1:12:38 > 1:12:42You're sure you're not just saying this because you think...

1:12:42 > 1:12:44maybe I am guilty after all?

1:12:44 > 1:12:46No, Frank.

1:12:46 > 1:12:48I never believed that.

1:12:48 > 1:12:51Well, I guess that's it.

1:17:55 > 1:17:57It's like I told you this morning, Mrs Jessup,

1:17:57 > 1:17:58when he left yesterday,

1:18:09 > 1:18:10Mr Barrett.

1:18:10 > 1:18:13Diane, what brings you here?

1:18:13 > 1:18:16I thought you'd seen enough of me to last a lifetime.

1:18:16 > 1:18:18I didn't know you were waiting.

1:18:20 > 1:18:24Would you like a drink? Perhaps a little sherry.

1:18:41 > 1:18:44I want it taken down just as I say it.

1:18:44 > 1:18:47You want to sign it and have it witnessed. Very well.

1:18:59 > 1:19:00Go ahead.

1:19:02 > 1:19:05I want to say that it was I...

1:19:05 > 1:19:07and I alone...

1:19:08 > 1:19:12..who killed my stepmother, Catherine Tremaine...

1:19:12 > 1:19:15Hold on, now. Never mind, Miss Preston. Just forget that.

1:19:15 > 1:19:17Please stay here. I want it taken down, every word.

1:19:17 > 1:19:20Diane, why go all through that again?

1:19:20 > 1:19:21You've been tried. You've been acquitted.

1:19:21 > 1:19:24There's only one thing to do - forget it.

1:19:24 > 1:19:28Put it out of your mind completely, as though it never happened.

1:19:28 > 1:19:29You wouldn't listen before.

1:19:29 > 1:19:31You wouldn't believe me.

1:19:31 > 1:19:34But now you must listen.

1:19:34 > 1:19:35Frank has been freed,

1:19:35 > 1:19:37and I can tell the truth.

1:19:37 > 1:19:41Now, may I tell it, and will she please take it down?

1:19:41 > 1:19:42All right.

1:19:43 > 1:19:45If you insist.

1:19:47 > 1:19:49I killed them both.

1:19:49 > 1:19:52Frank knew nothing about it...

1:19:52 > 1:19:56That is, he knew I hated Catherine...

1:19:56 > 1:19:59at least I did then...

1:19:59 > 1:20:02and he suspected me.

1:20:02 > 1:20:06I let him think that he talked me out of it...

1:20:08 > 1:20:12..and then one day, when he was working on her car,

1:20:12 > 1:20:13I got him to explain

1:20:13 > 1:20:15how the automatic transmission worked.

1:20:15 > 1:20:19So he did show you how to fix the car.

1:20:19 > 1:20:21No. No...

1:20:21 > 1:20:24but I know how to get things out of people.

1:20:24 > 1:20:28I ask a lot of questions. It's a habit of mine.

1:20:28 > 1:20:30And people are so accustomed to it,

1:20:30 > 1:20:33they answer without even thinking why I want to know.

1:20:33 > 1:20:35And you actually did it all by yourself?

1:20:35 > 1:20:37On that Thursday.

1:20:37 > 1:20:40Frank left right after Ito and Chio.

1:20:40 > 1:20:44And then, before Catherine came down...

1:20:44 > 1:20:47it only took a few minutes,

1:20:47 > 1:20:50just as that Mr Miller described at the trial.

1:20:50 > 1:20:53At last, a technical expert who knows his stuff.

1:20:53 > 1:20:54Well, do you feel better,

1:20:54 > 1:20:57now that it's off your conscience, and...

1:20:59 > 1:21:03It will never be off my conscience, Mr Barrett.

1:21:08 > 1:21:10But now that Frank has left me...

1:21:12 > 1:21:15..I've got nothing to live for.

1:21:15 > 1:21:18I can't believe he's really serious about leaving you.

1:21:21 > 1:21:24and a half-million dollar inheritance.

1:21:24 > 1:21:27He's gone to the girl he loved before he met me.

1:21:27 > 1:21:29She's taken him back...

1:21:29 > 1:21:33I think. He didn't come home last night.

1:21:33 > 1:21:35So now may I please sign that,

1:21:35 > 1:21:38and will you take me to the district attorney's...

1:21:38 > 1:21:39Listen, Diane,

1:21:39 > 1:21:41once you've been tried for a crime and acquitted,

1:21:41 > 1:21:44you can never be tried again or punished for it.

1:21:44 > 1:21:45But I'm guilty.

1:21:45 > 1:21:48It doesn't matter. The law calls it double jeopardy.

1:21:48 > 1:21:50You could sign that statement a dozen times,

1:21:50 > 1:21:52in front of a dozen witnesses.

1:21:52 > 1:21:54You could shout it from the housetops,

1:21:54 > 1:21:56read it over the radio,

1:21:56 > 1:21:58and there isn't a thing

1:21:58 > 1:21:59anyone can do about it.

1:21:59 > 1:22:02No, I'll take that back. There is one thing.
