0:01:21 > 0:01:23KNOCKING
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Why, it's Sleepy Parsons!
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Aren't you dead yet?
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Here's to nothin'!
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Still on your 20 cigars a day?
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Can your heart take it, Sleepy?
0:02:13 > 0:02:15You're drunk again.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Yes!
0:02:18 > 0:02:21It took you a long time to answer the door.
0:02:27 > 0:02:32- It's a relief being divorced from you.- Give me the money and I'll go.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35You think it'll rain and cool off?
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Give me my money, Edna. Don't kid around.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42What are you gonna do? Take out a chorus girl?
0:02:42 > 0:02:44It's gone!
0:02:44 > 0:02:48Don't fool around. I'm not in the mood!
0:02:48 > 0:02:54- Must be that kid! - You owe me 1,400. You said you'd have it here tonight!
0:02:54 > 0:02:58The sailor took it! The money's gone and that's it!
0:02:58 > 0:03:03He took MY cash but you're worried he kissed me!
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Don't flatter yourself. I just want my money!
0:03:08 > 0:03:12I remember you, Edna, as you used to be before...
0:03:12 > 0:03:14long ago.
0:03:15 > 0:03:22- Give me it to me and I'll go! - You'll get it when the police pick up the sailor! Good night!
0:03:22 > 0:03:26You'll never change, Edna, you're bad!
0:03:27 > 0:03:30I loved you very much...
0:03:30 > 0:03:32but you're bad.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35No, don't sit down, get out!
0:03:35 > 0:03:38You're pulling some sort of trick.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40I'm just too tired to think.
0:03:40 > 0:03:45- You'll be sorry if you don't get out. You hear?- I heard you.
0:03:45 > 0:03:50- Don't put your snout in my door again! You hear?- I hear it.
0:03:50 > 0:03:57- I'll send my brother round. I don't think your heart can take another beating.- Yes, I hear you.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00I hear you...
0:04:04 > 0:04:08- Phew! This heat is bad! - I'm sweating like a river!
0:04:08 > 0:04:15It's bad in August. Nature provides everyone with air conditioning in their nose.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17I didn't realise that.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21There's a sound in my ears like a seashell.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24- Try some more of this coffee. - No, thanks.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28It's very kind of you to let me sit here.
0:04:28 > 0:04:33I wouldn't drink that stuff in this heat. Booze makes a million widows.
0:04:33 > 0:04:38You know what I'll do? Walk down the street and cool off.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41It's seven hours until my bus leaves.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50- What's this? - Money, and you dropped it.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53- Money?- Take it, it won't bite!
0:04:53 > 0:04:56- I dropped this? - It came out with the handkerchief.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Hi! >
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Hello, Tom.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04Well, so long, Ray. It was nice to have met you.
0:05:04 > 0:05:05So long!
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Hey!
0:05:09 > 0:05:14- Don't forget this!- Gee! It shows you how unconcentrated you can get.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18- Non compos mentis, that's me!- No jokes!
0:05:19 > 0:05:22ITALIAN ACCENT: Hello, mister!
0:05:22 > 0:05:27- I'll sell you a hand of bananas for 30 cents.- No, thanks.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31If I sell you my last bananas, I can go home.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33- Why you no buy?- You wanna go home?
0:05:33 > 0:05:36I like-a go home, yes!
0:05:36 > 0:05:39- How much for the whole bunch? - Two dollars.
0:05:48 > 0:05:53Don't struggle, sailor. Let them carry you along like a mother!
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- Where's everyone going? - To the dogs!
0:05:59 > 0:06:02< Upstairs! That's where the girls are!
0:06:02 > 0:06:07< Upstairs! Dance to the haunting strains of the rumba-bumba!
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Twisting, twirling girls! Upstairs!
0:06:10 > 0:06:17Servicemen in uniform are half-price, brother. Upstairs! Don't wait! What's half a dollar to you?
0:06:17 > 0:06:22Upstairs, folks! Dance with 40 young dancing partners, 40 lovely...!
0:06:22 > 0:06:26BAND PLAYS A DANCE NUMBER
0:06:45 > 0:06:48You'll have to get another partner. I'm tired.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52- No disrespect. - It's late and I'm tired.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Refreshments? Meaning no disrespect.
0:06:55 > 0:06:56No.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00After all, you see, I... Don't misunderstand...
0:07:00 > 0:07:02What's wrong here? >
0:07:02 > 0:07:05She asked me to get another partner.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07I have so many tickets, you see.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09She won't dance!
0:07:09 > 0:07:14- What's the idea? - He's been hanging on like a leech for nights!
0:07:14 > 0:07:18- Meaning no disrespect! - That's what you're here for!
0:07:18 > 0:07:21He don't buy tickets to look at himself!
0:07:21 > 0:07:24What about the gloves? He's got the itch!
0:07:24 > 0:07:27- You misunderstand.- He's got a rash!
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- Is that a fact?- It's nerves!
0:07:30 > 0:07:35Don't never come back in The Jungle again with things like that!
0:07:35 > 0:07:37No disrespect...!
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Gee, that's terrible! He could pass that on!
0:07:52 > 0:07:56Excuse me. It was not my intention to get fresh.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Go away. I'm tired.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01You wouldn't care to dance?
0:08:10 > 0:08:14- Do you think it might rain and cool off?- Things DO happen.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24There's a lot of nice people here.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28It's a post office full of second class matter.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34What did you want to do when you were 12 years old?
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Marry John Barrymore!
0:08:36 > 0:08:40Do we have to talk? Are you an author or something?
0:08:40 > 0:08:45Conversation is very necessary, as my father says.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49- Why?- What would life be without conversation?
0:08:53 > 0:08:58They give men in the services salt pills when it's hot like this.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01- What for? - They say it balances up the system.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03What system?
0:09:03 > 0:09:08I guess I need some food to settle my stomach.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19I want one pound of steak, down there.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21One glass of ice tea with lemon.
0:09:21 > 0:09:28Let's not wait. Let's make the sandwiches up at my place. Don't misunderstand me...
0:09:28 > 0:09:33We'll buy the food and make the sandwiches at your house.
0:09:33 > 0:09:38- Half a pound of corned beef, no fat. - Corned beef! Make it snappy!
0:09:38 > 0:09:42Well, is your system balanced yet?
0:09:42 > 0:09:48I'm losing respect for myself, that's the truth. I've no confidence.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52I even lost out to a girl I really cared about.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54- Because you lacked confidence?- Yes.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58- People say I'm too slow... - She gave you that bracelet?
0:09:58 > 0:10:02No, my father did. That's where the trouble started.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06I came home and he'd taken a body to Pennsylvania.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08- A what?- My father's a mortician.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11I thought it only happened in jokes.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15Someone's father has to be a mortician!
0:10:15 > 0:10:22He's got the largest stocks of caskets in Putnam County that's where I'm from.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26My father's a very honest man, my stepmother don't like it.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Three or four haircuts ago...
0:10:29 > 0:10:32That's the last time I saw him.
0:10:33 > 0:10:38- Gee! Here we are getting blue this hour of the night.- I'm not blue.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41I'm tired.
0:10:41 > 0:10:47Please excuse me, the time didn't occur to me! Non compos mentis!
0:10:47 > 0:10:50It's all right, I'm beat out.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52It's this balmy weather.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54- SIREN - What's that?
0:10:54 > 0:10:58That, Colonel, is a ton of law a police car.
0:11:03 > 0:11:09It's all right to live in a cocoon if you expect to be a butterfly some day.
0:11:09 > 0:11:14- Are you unhappy, too? - Yes, I was too ambitious.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18I should have taken the commercial course.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Now say good night. Drop into The Jungle.
0:11:21 > 0:11:27It's nice of you, Miss Gough, but I'm leaving on the 6 o'clock bus.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29- I'm proud of this uniform.- Why not?
0:11:29 > 0:11:34That's what worries me. They'll nab me before I get to Norfolk.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38- Norfolk?- Norfolk, Virginia, where the naval station is.
0:11:38 > 0:11:45Is that where you're taking the 6 o'clock bus to? The terminal on the corner of Monticello?
0:11:45 > 0:11:49- I was born in Norfolk! - You were?- Yes, I was!
0:11:49 > 0:11:52I was, I was...
0:11:53 > 0:11:55What's your problem, son?
0:11:55 > 0:12:00Do something for me and I'll help you. Visit my mother in Norfolk.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03All she's got is an old hound dog.
0:12:03 > 0:12:08You saw me in a show, in a good leading part, dancing and singing.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12- Say I looked happy and I'll visit soon.- That's not true.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16Oh, sure! Of course! Why not?!
0:12:16 > 0:12:19A stickler for the truth.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23You'd like to say I'm a dance hall girl,
0:12:23 > 0:12:25sick with pride and depression.
0:12:25 > 0:12:33- Tell an old lady THAT, with a son a belly-gunner over Japan?- Wait! - Get out before I throw you out!
0:12:33 > 0:12:35I'm sorry, I...
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Can you do me a favour, Miss Gough?
0:12:38 > 0:12:43I don't want to burden you with my problems but I have a lot of money.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47You could use it. Go back to Norfolk, surprise your mother.
0:12:47 > 0:12:52- This is real money, son. - I took it.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56Let us pause for station identification...
0:12:56 > 0:13:01- You stole it?- I did and I didn't. - You either do or you don't.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03I didn't know what I was doing.
0:13:03 > 0:13:10She and her brother run this Italian place. The brother asked me to play casino.
0:13:10 > 0:13:18- After two hours of him cheating like a skunk, I was broke.- Why not stop him?- I was too embarrassed.
0:13:18 > 0:13:23They closed up and the sister asked me to come back and fix her radio.
0:13:23 > 0:13:28Up her house she kept...drinking and being disgusting in general.
0:13:28 > 0:13:35But I fixed the radio. By this time I'd had a few drinks and then blacked out.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39- When I came round she was asleep. - Passed out?- Yes.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42I said if she paid me for the radio I'd go.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46I decided to take the money for fixing the radio.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49- That's all I remember.- Until?
0:13:49 > 0:13:53Until I was sitting at a newsstand, drinking black coffee.
0:13:53 > 0:13:58Then a roll of bills fell out of my pocket. I did THAT in this uniform!
0:13:58 > 0:14:011,400 and some cheques.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04She's probably still out put it back.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08Suppose I'm caught? Her brother knows where I'm from.
0:14:08 > 0:14:14- Your only chance is to put it back. - Might I leave my radio here?
0:14:14 > 0:14:16You might not, I'm going to bed.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20I wonder if you would help me, Miss Gough?
0:14:20 > 0:14:24- Just wait downstairs... - No! I should say not.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28It's the uniform, otherwise I'd do it no problem.
0:14:28 > 0:14:35You see, Miss Gough, suppose I was your brother, the belly-gunner, Miss Gough.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40What an operator!
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Are there any more at home like you?
0:15:01 > 0:15:04- Which house? - Opposite the place with two lights.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12That's a police station, that "place with two lights"?
0:15:33 > 0:15:35This is it, Miss Gough.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Call me June, it rhymes with moon.
0:15:43 > 0:15:48I'll turn on the radio if anyone starts up after you.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Yes. Thanks.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Come along now! >
0:16:03 > 0:16:06POLICEMAN: No, you don't!
0:16:06 > 0:16:10You can't come in here. Don't make the sergeant mad! >
0:16:10 > 0:16:14All I want is to lay my head down. A cell...
0:16:14 > 0:16:17You gotta commit a crime to get in a cell.
0:16:17 > 0:16:22MUTTERING: No-one wants anyone on a night like this...
0:16:23 > 0:16:29- Did you put it back?- I won't need your help any more.- What happened?
0:16:29 > 0:16:31The woman is dead.
0:16:33 > 0:16:34Hold this.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59"I hear the whistle blowing."
0:17:00 > 0:17:03Who did it? You?
0:17:03 > 0:17:05- You think- I- did it?
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Didn't you?
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Don't look at me like that.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13I think you'd better leave.
0:17:13 > 0:17:14Yes.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18Well, this is New York...
0:17:18 > 0:17:20where hello means goodbye.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29What are you gonna do?
0:17:29 > 0:17:31I don't know.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Walk or we'll go home!
0:17:40 > 0:17:43- DOG YAPS Hot, isn't it?- Yes.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47He won't hurt you! He's just a puppy! A baby!
0:17:47 > 0:17:50He wouldn't hurt a flea!
0:17:54 > 0:17:56A baby...
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Did you do it?
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Please believe me someone has to!
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Oh, sure(!) Why not?
0:18:19 > 0:18:24The cops' windows look into these windows. Didn't you think of that?
0:18:24 > 0:18:28Who did YOU want to be when you were 12? Boo McNut?!
0:18:34 > 0:18:37It can't be suicide, there's no weapon.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Strangled, is she?
0:18:39 > 0:18:44Yes, that's how it looks. Strangled.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46- You're perspiring.- Well, I...
0:18:46 > 0:18:50BUZZER
0:18:51 > 0:18:55You better drop down on your bendified knees and pray!
0:18:55 > 0:18:59SLURRED: Edna! It's Babe, Babe Dooley! >
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Answer the door! >
0:19:01 > 0:19:05Edna! Why don't you answer me?!
0:19:05 > 0:19:07I need a bottle! >
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Rain, rain, go away, come back another day.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13You only love the fat man...
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Or the second! Or the third!
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Oh, never mind!
0:19:20 > 0:19:21He's gone.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Yes.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26We'd better wait in the dark a minute.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30Do you hear anything?
0:19:30 > 0:19:34- Only your breathing. - (Is that what that is?)
0:19:34 > 0:19:36Yes...and mine.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42- Should I call the police? - It's your problem, not mine.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46You're smarter than me what should I do?
0:19:46 > 0:19:50- Cut and run now. Get on your bus... - They'll catch me.
0:19:50 > 0:19:55Her brother knew I came up here. I'm the first one they'd look for.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58- What's the good...? - They couldn't say I ran away.
0:19:58 > 0:20:03- If we look around... - Don't say "we"! It's not my problem.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07- People don't drop clues! - Why are you so mad?
0:20:07 > 0:20:12This weather brings me to the boil and you're such a helpless baby!
0:20:15 > 0:20:19Here's a clue! Mentholated cigarettes, used by the million.
0:20:19 > 0:20:24Or this a lipstick! Some matches and a book!
0:20:24 > 0:20:27A dead carnation.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30It's not her lipstick, it belongs to a blonde...
0:20:30 > 0:20:33- Light...- A man did it, not a woman!
0:20:33 > 0:20:38A man came here to get the money or she'd never have brought it home.
0:20:38 > 0:20:43She let him in so she knew him. She made him mad and he did it.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46A woman wouldn't strangle someone.
0:20:46 > 0:20:51- It wasn't premeditated he'd have had a weapon. Sounds right?- Go on.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55I can't.
0:20:55 > 0:21:01But he must have been very nervous when he left. We have that clue!
0:21:01 > 0:21:04We have that clue(!) What a clue(!)
0:21:04 > 0:21:09Nervous like every butcher, baker, candlestick-maker in town.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Now suppose we stick to the text.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17- What?- The text.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22It wasn't theft her jewellery's on her.
0:21:22 > 0:21:29- She lived alone, liked men, drank a lot. - Looks like she put up a good fight.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34It's the biggest city in the world.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Somewhere in it, one man or woman...
0:21:38 > 0:21:40I'm sorry,
0:21:40 > 0:21:43it's no use.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45So, I guess you're IT.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52- Is this her key? - Yes, I saw her put it there.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55What are you looking at?
0:21:55 > 0:22:00You left and came back. Why? To leave me more alone?
0:22:00 > 0:22:05This is hopeless! Why not admit it? Anyway, it's not my problem.
0:22:06 > 0:22:11OK, it IS my problem. My brother's a belly-gunner, I'll help you.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13How? Go where?
0:22:13 > 0:22:19We need to find a murderer before you get the bus or the maid comes.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Well? Tell me what to do.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24Let's go downstairs. Outside.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28I'll take the key. I think I'll call you June.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Now, concentrate!
0:22:44 > 0:22:49- On what?- You're the man who did it. You're as a nervous as a cat.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52What do you do? Where do you go?
0:22:52 > 0:22:54Where would I go?
0:22:54 > 0:22:58Anywhere... Away from the police station.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01This way.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Here you are.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17- Here I am.- What do you do now?
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Well...
0:23:19 > 0:23:24What I do is go over there and take an orangeade cos my throat's dry.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40I'm not thirsty.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44- Neither am I.- Let's leave.
0:23:47 > 0:23:52Wait a minute, that's just what that "certain party" might do!
0:23:53 > 0:24:00- Would you settle a bet? - I'll lay you one you and your husband are looking for a hotel.
0:24:00 > 0:24:05We bet we're the first to walk away without drinking our drink.
0:24:05 > 0:24:11It happens eight times a day! An hour ago a beautiful blonde did it.
0:24:11 > 0:24:16- I near fell when she stepped into a cab. Beautiful and lame.- How lame?
0:24:16 > 0:24:22- Enough to make you want to treat her like a sister.- Oh. Thanks.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25Come drink our grapeade next time!
0:24:25 > 0:24:30She got in a cab, a blonde, lame. Shall we try to trace it?
0:24:30 > 0:24:34- What do you think? - It might be worth it. Wait.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37Say!
0:24:37 > 0:24:42My sister walked out on me blonde, maybe limped a little...
0:24:42 > 0:24:47That one! Why was she crying? Life's too short for tears.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Where'd you take her, philosopher?
0:24:49 > 0:24:54Downtown on 11th. In the village, over a bakery. Drive you down?
0:24:54 > 0:24:59- He took her. It might be worth a try.- We'll go!
0:24:59 > 0:25:02Not "we", me. I can handle a woman alone.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06You find a nervous man, Alex. That is your name?
0:25:06 > 0:25:08Alex Winkler, yes.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Are you coming back, June?
0:25:15 > 0:25:18That's a chance you'll have to take.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Be careful.
0:25:48 > 0:25:49Cab!
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Straight ahead!
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Follow that cab!
0:26:06 > 0:26:11- That's not soda water in his gas tank!- Don't lose him!
0:26:11 > 0:26:13I'm a stubborn man, you'd be amazed!
0:26:30 > 0:26:32KNOCKING
0:26:33 > 0:26:37- Is something wrong? - Yes, something's wrong!
0:26:38 > 0:26:40- He's not in.- Who?
0:26:40 > 0:26:43She's dying...and he's not in!
0:26:43 > 0:26:47- Who?- My Snappy... She's swallowed a chicken bone.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54It's too late. I see now.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56It's too late.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00My dearest friend in the whole world.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03From a chicken bone!
0:27:03 > 0:27:05You can't feed a cat chicken bones!
0:27:06 > 0:27:09He was my dearest friend.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12I'm a janitor in a house,
0:27:12 > 0:27:14this is my companion.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17She did everything but speak.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32I'm no hawk but this looks like the corner.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39- Will you wait here? - The night is young and so am I.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49Don't stop if you want a room. We don't want girls here.
0:27:49 > 0:27:54That's right! They wash their things in the sink.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01- A friend?- Yes. - You should know where she lives!
0:28:01 > 0:28:03- I forgot.- 350.
0:28:03 > 0:28:09- I'm the super there and in four buildings in this block.- What of it?
0:28:09 > 0:28:11I don't get paid enough! That's what.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35DOOR BUZZES
0:28:41 > 0:28:42Yes?
0:28:42 > 0:28:45Sorry, my hand slipped.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51- <- Is the baby asleep?
0:28:53 > 0:28:58- I asked you a civil question. - WOMAN: Yes, he's asleep.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03Go to bed, you have to get up early.
0:29:03 > 0:29:07You're considerate but you haven't answered my question.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09What about it?
0:29:09 > 0:29:15- Can't I ask my wife where she was until 2.00am?- I took in a picture.
0:29:15 > 0:29:19You took in a picture(!) You suddenly love pictures?
0:29:19 > 0:29:22It's too hot to argue, Gerry.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25Sure(!) When I open my mouth it's an argument!
0:29:25 > 0:29:28Please don't wake the baby up!
0:29:28 > 0:29:31How about when you left her alone for two hours?
0:29:31 > 0:29:36What do you want, Gerry? Mrs Daniels kept an eye on her.
0:29:36 > 0:29:43- I try to be a good wife. - Your best ain't good enough. - Please. What are we fighting about?
0:29:44 > 0:29:46Some people call it love.
0:29:46 > 0:29:50- I can't listen to this. - Jump out the window, then.
0:29:55 > 0:30:00- <- Where are you going? - Downstairs to cool off.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32Mrs Robinson? Don't turn around.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35I know where you were tonight.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38- Where was I? - You left a lipstick there.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41Come in here a minute.
0:30:43 > 0:30:47You wouldn't want him to know, would you?
0:30:47 > 0:30:49Wouldn't want him to know what?
0:30:49 > 0:30:54- You left a fine mess in that room. - I don't know you. What do you want?
0:30:54 > 0:30:58You took a cab from 51st and Lexington...
0:30:58 > 0:31:00- Did I?- Yes.
0:31:00 > 0:31:04- Get out! Leave me alone! - Helen, are you down there?
0:31:04 > 0:31:09- Do you want him to know?- No. - Then go sit on the step.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11Fix your hair.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13Helen?!
0:31:15 > 0:31:20- I've got my eye on you.- I don't know you and I don't want to talk.
0:31:20 > 0:31:24- Come back there with me. - I don't understand!
0:31:24 > 0:31:28Is that why you tried to beat my brains out?
0:31:28 > 0:31:31Don't you know Edna Bartelli is dead?
0:31:31 > 0:31:33I don't know Edna Bartelli.
0:31:33 > 0:31:39I went to a party with a man. Please, my husband mustn't know.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42- What party?- Near the 50s. - Near where?
0:31:42 > 0:31:44Near where you said... Please!
0:31:45 > 0:31:47Turn around.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50Face the light.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53No lipstick.
0:31:53 > 0:31:58- I don't use it.- Except when you go to parties.- No! Please!
0:32:00 > 0:32:02Go upstairs to bed.
0:32:05 > 0:32:09Don't leave unless you want the police knocking.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12I won't leave. Good night.
0:32:26 > 0:32:31- Did you cool that bird-brain off? - Edna Bartelli had been killed.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37You saw a movie uptown!
0:32:37 > 0:32:39And you?
0:32:39 > 0:32:41Where were you until one o'clock?
0:32:45 > 0:32:49- Back to where I picked you up?- Right.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52HE SIGHS Beg your pardon?
0:32:52 > 0:32:56- What? - You sigh like the end of summer.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58- Troubles?- Personal.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00Oh.
0:33:00 > 0:33:01Personal...
0:33:01 > 0:33:06- That's killed a lot of people in its day.- Yes.
0:33:16 > 0:33:20If it's not too personal, what was that all about?
0:33:20 > 0:33:22Er...personal.
0:33:22 > 0:33:27- I buy it back forget I asked. Good night.- Good night.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40- What is it?- Nothing.
0:33:40 > 0:33:46Statistics tell us everyone has troubles. Was it your last dollar?
0:33:46 > 0:33:47No?
0:33:47 > 0:33:50Forget it.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52- Good night.- Good night.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46- THUD! - Who's that?- Alex!- June?
0:34:49 > 0:34:54That noise is my skin creeping. Did anything happen?
0:34:56 > 0:35:00That makes no hits, no runs and two errors.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03You look happy, character!
0:35:03 > 0:35:08Glad you came back cos you didn't have to...but you did.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13I could sure use that orangeade now.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16Is there an icebox? Let's see.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28Are you hungry?
0:35:28 > 0:35:30- No.- Thirsty?
0:35:32 > 0:35:34Let's melt some ice together!
0:35:40 > 0:35:42Frozen joy!
0:35:42 > 0:35:45KNOCK AT DOOR
0:35:49 > 0:35:51Who is it?
0:35:51 > 0:35:53It's Mr Hoffman!
0:35:53 > 0:35:56He's the one who drove me up.
0:35:56 > 0:36:00- What did you say? - Nothing! Personal, I said.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05We're having a cold drink. Come in!
0:36:05 > 0:36:10- I heard your voice.- Must have been listening close!- As close as I can.
0:36:10 > 0:36:14- This is...- Miss Bartelli. Why were you listening?
0:36:14 > 0:36:19This man seemed in trouble, I wanted to help. Don't hate me for trying.
0:36:19 > 0:36:23- Did you mention the "text" to Mr Hoffman?- No.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26Take 100% for trying. Good night.
0:36:28 > 0:36:29Good night.
0:36:32 > 0:36:37- Between us and the lamppost, you're not Miss Bartelli.- What do you want?
0:36:37 > 0:36:40Young lady, you're in a sweat why?
0:36:40 > 0:36:45- Look at that boy.- Miss Bartelli's dead.- In the next room.
0:36:45 > 0:36:48Oh, I'm very sorry to hear that.
0:36:48 > 0:36:52Excuse me for this intrusion in your hour of grief.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55Mr Hoffman, she was murdered.
0:36:55 > 0:37:00- Have you informed the police? - It's more complicated than that.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02I'm willing to listen.
0:37:04 > 0:37:08My name is Alex Winkler, my father is an undertaker.
0:37:08 > 0:37:13About seven o'clock last night I went to a restaurant...
0:37:22 > 0:37:24Dark Mystery...very expensive!
0:37:24 > 0:37:29What did you do after you cleared the blonde woman?
0:37:29 > 0:37:31Came right back here.
0:37:32 > 0:37:40The divine being made many loathsome creatures but none so low as a woman with a cold heart.
0:37:40 > 0:37:44She had these to blackmail... even her own brother!
0:37:45 > 0:37:49A blind man can see how many boyfriends she had!
0:37:49 > 0:37:53The water tasted good so she jumped down the well!
0:37:55 > 0:38:00But in the professor's opinion we are wasting our time.
0:38:00 > 0:38:01Why?
0:38:01 > 0:38:04- We have no clues...- There's a cheque.
0:38:04 > 0:38:09- What cheque?- For 1,000, signed by Lester Brady.
0:38:09 > 0:38:13That might give Mr Brady a motive, but we're only guessing.
0:38:13 > 0:38:19The divine being would not permit an innocent boy to suffer.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26What do you suggest we do?
0:38:27 > 0:38:30Get out of here! Get your bus.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33I can't leave, but you and June should go!
0:38:33 > 0:38:36First it's stay, then it's go!
0:38:36 > 0:38:39- It's hopeless!- He has a point.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42- Why do you want to get him out? - It's hopeless.
0:38:42 > 0:38:47I think we should try Lester Brady and his cheque.
0:38:47 > 0:38:51I am putty in your hands. Whatever, Miss Gough.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53Call me June.
0:38:53 > 0:38:54June.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08Blitzkrieg with hair on her head!
0:39:08 > 0:39:12- Two numbers for Brady home and business.- Monkey business!
0:39:12 > 0:39:18Someone called her at 10.38pm...or she called them! Let's try this one.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20May I see?
0:39:20 > 0:39:23This is my handwriting
0:39:23 > 0:39:25but I don't remember writing it.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30June...
0:39:30 > 0:39:34- June, I think- I- murdered Miss Bartelli!
0:39:34 > 0:39:36- What does that mean?- It's proven!
0:39:36 > 0:39:42From 10.00 to 11.00pm, my mind is blank. I must have done it then!
0:39:42 > 0:39:46- That's nonsense! - It's possible, isn't it?
0:39:46 > 0:39:51I'm wrong four times out of five, but you're the wrongest guy I met!
0:39:51 > 0:39:55- He did it? - No, but he's such a character!
0:39:55 > 0:39:58Shhh! Don't raise your voices! We are not mice!
0:39:58 > 0:40:01- You think it was you?- I don't know!
0:40:01 > 0:40:07Let's stop zagging when we should be zigging! Call the 10.38pm number.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19'When you hear the signal it will be 3.10am.'

0:40:35 > 0:40:37Edna?
0:40:37 > 0:40:39Are you here?
0:40:48 > 0:40:49Aaagh!
0:40:49 > 0:40:51Keep still!
0:40:51 > 0:40:54- Who are you?- I'm Mrs Raymond.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57Welcome! What are you doing here?
0:40:57 > 0:40:59Miss Bartelli...
0:40:59 > 0:41:03Was a friend so you stole her letters!
0:41:03 > 0:41:07You don't understand... I read them, I understand.
0:41:07 > 0:41:10I'll take them back and the money, too.
0:41:10 > 0:41:14- The money was an accident. - Were you here earlier?
0:41:14 > 0:41:19No, I wasn't. Now, what happened? Are you a detective?
0:41:19 > 0:41:22Maybe. > I know a cab driver's badge!
0:41:22 > 0:41:25- Put the gun down.- Keep away!
0:41:25 > 0:41:27Alex!
0:41:28 > 0:41:31I tripped over my own feet!
0:41:35 > 0:41:37She's gone!
0:41:37 > 0:41:40You weren't afraid of her.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43I'm not afraid of anything that's real.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45I'm polite but not afraid.
0:41:45 > 0:41:51Can the Mutual Admiration Society decide what to do about that woman?
0:41:51 > 0:41:55She won't report it, she's a criminal herself!
0:41:55 > 0:41:57- She left the letters.- She'll be back.
0:41:57 > 0:42:04Possibly. Honey draws flies! The town is full of flies there's one across the street now!
0:42:09 > 0:42:15- "I hear the whistle blowing."- He's not police.- Let's find out who he is.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17But not next to the station house!
0:42:17 > 0:42:24We ride off in your cab, the human fly follows and Alex goes to see Brady.
0:42:24 > 0:42:28- If the fly follows us?- Swat him! - Just like that?- Yes!
0:42:28 > 0:42:34- June, our daddies had a better life, but Steve Brodie took a chance!- Alex...
0:42:34 > 0:42:37get Mr Brady on the phone.
0:42:40 > 0:42:44- Is this a gag? - 'Don't get excited. It's not a gag.'
0:42:44 > 0:42:48You say you're in a uniform... sailor...
0:42:48 > 0:42:51- You said your name was? - 'I didn't say.'
0:42:51 > 0:42:54- Are you alone?- 'Yes.'
0:42:54 > 0:42:59Come right over to room 1019... Bring the cheque with ya!

0:43:11 > 0:43:13< Let me in before you read about it.
0:43:13 > 0:43:18Don't flatter yourself. I'm not here for the love of it!
0:43:18 > 0:43:20Edna's been killed!
0:43:20 > 0:43:24I've just been there. She's lying dead on the floor.
0:43:24 > 0:43:28I have an idea who did it. You have?
0:43:28 > 0:43:30You.
0:43:33 > 0:43:38That's all the love I'm giving away this morning. Now you sit there!
0:43:48 > 0:43:51Put Val Bartelli on the phone.
0:43:51 > 0:43:56Only give him the cheque as a last resort. Pick his brains first.
0:43:56 > 0:43:59Speech was given to man to hide his thoughts.
0:43:59 > 0:44:01Best wishes.
0:44:03 > 0:44:06June, I'm almost glad this happened.
0:44:06 > 0:44:09- Are you nuts or what?- I mean it.
0:44:11 > 0:44:15Oh, sure(!) Of course. Why not?
0:44:26 > 0:44:33I'm mailing her letters to myself. If someone calls for them, we have a weapon.
0:44:33 > 0:44:35- THUNDERCLAP - What's that?
0:44:35 > 0:44:38A cooler for the city thunder.
0:44:40 > 0:44:44Be indifferent, don't look around. My cab's beyond the door.
0:44:44 > 0:44:51- Every minute brings Alex closer to his last hour of freedom. - We'll do our best.- He's such a baby!
0:44:51 > 0:44:54A sweet baby?
0:44:55 > 0:44:56Yes!
0:45:03 > 0:45:06It's hot tonight! Not since the old days...
0:45:06 > 0:45:09- Is he there?- Yes.

0:45:32 > 0:45:35- Don't lose him! - He's right behind us.
0:45:35 > 0:45:39We'll go up west and meet him uptown.
0:45:41 > 0:45:47We'll make a sharp right. There's a police booth to intimidate him.
0:45:59 > 0:46:03What is this? My fare asked me to follow ya.
0:46:03 > 0:46:05Who is he? Ask him.
0:46:05 > 0:46:10- What are you following the lady for? - It's a mistake.- What do you mean?
0:46:10 > 0:46:17June! What kind of lizard are you following a lady in the night? You know this man?
0:46:17 > 0:46:21- I can't see him.- Get out, kind sir. - No!
0:46:21 > 0:46:24The police are there. No trouble!
0:46:24 > 0:46:27I work. What are you following her for?
0:46:32 > 0:46:35- Oh!- You know him?
0:46:35 > 0:46:40- Meaning no disrespect, my admiration.- Let him go, Gus.
0:46:40 > 0:46:43No disrespect, you understand.
0:46:43 > 0:46:48I am Edward Hornig, 526 Fifth Avenue Hornig Accordion Company.
0:46:48 > 0:46:54I am foreign-born but since last month am a citizen of your great country.
0:46:57 > 0:46:59My citizenship papers.
0:47:00 > 0:47:02American!
0:47:03 > 0:47:06- No, don't go, please! - Come on, Gus.
0:47:06 > 0:47:09No! Meaning no disrespect!
0:47:09 > 0:47:11Quiet, Mr Hornig, quiet.
0:47:13 > 0:47:16Take the American citizen home.
0:47:27 > 0:47:33That poor wreck of a man proposed to me tonight on the dance floor.
0:47:33 > 0:47:35Why are you crying, June?
0:47:40 > 0:47:41I don't know.
0:47:41 > 0:47:45I thought this chase would lead to something.
0:47:45 > 0:47:48What'll happen to that boy?
0:47:48 > 0:47:50He can't take care of himself.
0:47:50 > 0:47:53It's hot and I feel unnerved.
0:47:53 > 0:47:56Big storms always unnerve me.
0:47:56 > 0:48:02This crazy city unnerves me but I pretend otherwise. Where's the logic to it?
0:48:02 > 0:48:05- Where? - THUNDERCLAP
0:48:06 > 0:48:09The storm clouds have passed us.
0:48:09 > 0:48:11They're over Jersey now.
0:48:11 > 0:48:15Statistics tell us we'll see the stars again.
0:48:20 > 0:48:24Golly, the misery that walks around this pretty, quiet night.
0:48:24 > 0:48:26June...
0:48:28 > 0:48:30The logic you're looking for...
0:48:30 > 0:48:34The logic is that there IS no logic.
0:48:34 > 0:48:38The horror and terror you feel comes from being alive.
0:48:38 > 0:48:42Die and there is no trouble. Live and you struggle.
0:48:42 > 0:48:45It's beautiful to struggle for possibilities.
0:48:45 > 0:48:50Not "I hate the sun cos it don't light my cigarette."
0:48:50 > 0:48:55You're so young, you're a baby! Love's waiting at any door you open.
0:48:55 > 0:48:58Some say love's a superstition.
0:48:58 > 0:49:01Dismiss those Miss Bartellis from your mind.
0:49:01 > 0:49:05Their poison is on the sweetest facts of life.
0:49:05 > 0:49:10At 23 believe in love and its possibilities as I do at 53.
0:49:10 > 0:49:12< What's wrong?
0:49:12 > 0:49:17- Is he bothering you? - He's the only man in four years who hasn't.
0:49:17 > 0:49:19It's no place to park.
0:49:24 > 0:49:29Let's face it, Val, you and I are partners in a 42,000 investment.
0:49:29 > 0:49:35You own 20% of my show. If it's not opening, you own a piece of dirt.
0:49:35 > 0:49:41Why won't the show open Tuesday? And who's this broad here?
0:49:41 > 0:49:45Mrs Raymond! Her husband has pledged 10 Gs for the show!
0:49:45 > 0:49:49If he learns we're friends, we're ruined.
0:49:49 > 0:49:51Cut off her head, she'd be pretty.
0:49:51 > 0:49:55Yeah. What would you do in my place?
0:49:55 > 0:49:58- How will he know? - Your sister has some letters.
0:49:58 > 0:50:01Little notes she wrote last spring.
0:50:01 > 0:50:05She'll show 'em to Raymond unless she gets a piece of the show.
0:50:05 > 0:50:09Wax heads should keep out of the sun.
0:50:09 > 0:50:12- I don't know anything about it. - Wait!
0:50:12 > 0:50:16You tried to buy those letters back from Edna.
0:50:16 > 0:50:21- You gave her a bad cheque. You're surprised she's sore?- Wait!
0:50:21 > 0:50:24Frankly, I don't know how to tell you this...
0:50:24 > 0:50:27We gotta get those letters because...
0:50:27 > 0:50:32er...right now, your sister... is lying dead in a room.
0:50:32 > 0:50:34Easy!
0:50:34 > 0:50:37Yeah... Mrs Raymond just came from there.
0:50:37 > 0:50:40You shut your mouth! Hear me?
0:50:44 > 0:50:46Play it again and play it sweet!
0:50:46 > 0:50:50- It's true. I swear, I didn't do it!- Who? Her?
0:50:50 > 0:50:56Some people there tried to hold her up. A sailor, a cabbie and a dame.
0:50:56 > 0:50:59- Who are they? - The boy's coming here!- Boy?
0:50:59 > 0:51:02- RINGING - Stay put!- That's him!
0:51:02 > 0:51:06Don't I know how to talk to a boy?
0:51:06 > 0:51:08RINGING
0:51:09 > 0:51:10Yeah?
0:51:10 > 0:51:12Who's this?
0:51:12 > 0:51:15Come right up, sailor boy.
0:51:17 > 0:51:19Put on your clothes, Lester.
0:51:33 > 0:51:35Come in. >
0:51:45 > 0:51:47Put the cheque on the table.
0:51:47 > 0:51:51- Going somewhere? - You wanna be paid first?
0:51:51 > 0:51:57- I wanna be sure it's yours. - Out of seven million you found me, it must be mine.
0:51:58 > 0:52:00Some grapes.
0:52:00 > 0:52:03Frankly, you kids are the limit!
0:52:03 > 0:52:09- You could be behind bars for that trick.- Or for passing bad cheques.
0:52:12 > 0:52:16- <- You shouldn't have hit me! - Where was it?- In a cab.
0:52:16 > 0:52:19- Where?- In a cab! - Where?- Who's that?
0:52:19 > 0:52:24Call me sweetheart. Shut that transom so it don't rain in.
0:52:24 > 0:52:30- Did you go home with my sister, Romeo?- Yes.- You killed her!- No!
0:52:30 > 0:52:36Val! Not here! We can take him to Edna's place. This is a hotel! A public place!
0:52:36 > 0:52:39- Go home!- Do as he tells you!
0:52:39 > 0:52:42- Keep your mouth shut!- Keep it shut!
0:52:42 > 0:52:44Yes, I will!
0:52:51 > 0:52:55How can you love a boy you've just met?
0:52:55 > 0:52:59How can a passing stranger change your entire life?
0:52:59 > 0:53:02You'd be amazed.
0:53:02 > 0:53:05My wife, I met and loved in a minute.
0:53:05 > 0:53:09The dentist's office with all the vitamins, too!
0:53:09 > 0:53:11I love her to this day.
0:53:11 > 0:53:15Although it's sixteen years she's been gone.
0:53:15 > 0:53:17No children?
0:53:17 > 0:53:20A girl. She's married now.
0:53:20 > 0:53:25Last year I put her husband in a dry-cleaning establishment.
0:53:25 > 0:53:27I had some savings.
0:53:29 > 0:53:31I'd die for that girl!
0:53:31 > 0:53:36- She remembers her mother?- Very well. She even remembers the man.
0:53:36 > 0:53:40- What man? - The man my wife ran off with.
0:53:42 > 0:53:43HORN BLARES
0:53:43 > 0:53:48The first six years I shaved every night before I went to bed.
0:53:48 > 0:53:51I thought she might come back.
0:53:56 > 0:53:59There's no papers in there, anyway.
0:54:03 > 0:54:05She was no lullaby
0:54:05 > 0:54:09but she had the brains like a man.
0:54:10 > 0:54:13I'll take her inside.
0:54:45 > 0:54:47Val! Stop it!
0:54:47 > 0:54:51- The cops are across the street! - Stop?- Val! Stop!
0:54:51 > 0:54:53GUNSHOT
0:54:55 > 0:54:58I hope nobody heard that.
0:54:59 > 0:55:02I was in the deep water for a minute.
0:55:03 > 0:55:06Drop the gun and don't turn around!
0:55:06 > 0:55:10- Is he hurt? - He's punched black and blue!
0:55:10 > 0:55:12Get some water.
0:55:12 > 0:55:16Now you can turn around. Who are you?
0:55:16 > 0:55:19- Who likes to know? - A man with a gun. Don't move!
0:55:19 > 0:55:24The body bleeds very easy. Don't move! Where's the body?
0:55:24 > 0:55:28- My sister is in her bed. - I'm his friend Lester Brady.
0:55:28 > 0:55:32- Are you hurt? - Pretty weak, can't deny that.
0:55:32 > 0:55:35What did you beat that boy up for?
0:55:35 > 0:55:41- He killed my sister. - Where is your eyes, gangster? He couldn't hurt a fly.
0:55:41 > 0:55:44There HAS been a murder here tonight.
0:55:44 > 0:55:48You had a motive, Mr Brady. And you, too.
0:55:48 > 0:55:51< Call the cops if you're so legitimate.
0:55:51 > 0:55:56- I don't need this gun to hold you here!- He knows something, Lester.
0:55:56 > 0:55:59First some gas station courtesy.
0:55:59 > 0:56:02What's Mr Raymond's wife's first name?
0:56:02 > 0:56:04Nan.
0:56:04 > 0:56:09- And the waiter who your sister found you were in cahoots with?- Why?
0:56:09 > 0:56:14- Put nothing in writing the first law of life.- Don't waste time, Gus!
0:56:14 > 0:56:19I read the incriminating papers you wanted and hid them like a squirrel.
0:56:19 > 0:56:22Why? Intuition.
0:56:22 > 0:56:25But you can get those papers back.
0:56:25 > 0:56:26How?
0:56:26 > 0:56:31- Help this young man.- A murderer is in this city. Help us find him!
0:56:31 > 0:56:35Weren't you talking to my sister a while ago?
0:56:35 > 0:56:37Never. What about my offer?
0:56:37 > 0:56:40Edna! It's Babe! >
0:56:40 > 0:56:43Are you home, Edna? >
0:56:43 > 0:56:45He was here before.
0:56:53 > 0:56:59Edna! It's late! I can't get a drinkie anywhere!
0:56:59 > 0:57:01Throw down a bottle, will ya?
0:57:01 > 0:57:04It's that drunk ball-player Dooley.
0:57:04 > 0:57:08Throw it down, Edna! I'll come up there if you don't!
0:57:10 > 0:57:14Do you think you're on a picnic? Move on!
0:57:14 > 0:57:16It's the Babe! Babe Dooley!
0:57:16 > 0:57:19Are you for me or against me?
0:57:19 > 0:57:21Are ya?
0:57:21 > 0:57:25Nothing's too good for the Babe. Then go up there.
0:57:25 > 0:57:28I can't navigate the stairs.
0:57:28 > 0:57:30Are we gonna cut it this year, Babe?
0:57:30 > 0:57:34Give me the bottle and we'll cut the house!
0:57:36 > 0:57:39He's coming up here the cop.
0:57:42 > 0:57:45What are you going to do?
0:57:52 > 0:57:57- Be careful!- Shut your face, Lester. - FOOTSTEPS
0:57:57 > 0:57:58KNOCKING
0:58:02 > 0:58:07- What's cooking?- Babe Dooley says a friend lives here.
0:58:07 > 0:58:11- I'm her brother, she don't fuss. - He only wants a drink.
0:58:14 > 0:58:17Here. Give him this but far away.
0:58:17 > 0:58:20- Sorry for the trouble.- Excused.
0:58:27 > 0:58:29Edna! Edna! >
0:58:29 > 0:58:33There's a fat ball-player who'll die in the street.
0:58:36 > 0:58:39OK. You've got until 6.00am.
0:58:39 > 0:58:43We start with clues. Who smokes mentholated cigarettes?
0:58:43 > 0:58:50- Who rides in subways? - A man in evening clothes was here. Would your sister know him?
0:58:50 > 0:58:52Sure! About 50,000!
0:58:52 > 0:58:59Statistics tell us white carnations go with tuxedo coats. Who wears white carnations?
0:58:59 > 0:59:01- Why?- He was here.
0:59:01 > 0:59:04- Who said?- This says!
0:59:05 > 0:59:07Did you find this here?
0:59:07 > 0:59:11- On the table.- What time is it now?
0:59:11 > 0:59:13Ten past four.
0:59:13 > 0:59:16I know where the sick pigeon is tonight.
0:59:16 > 0:59:19Come with me, Lester.
0:59:19 > 0:59:23- I need my sleep. - Sleep rots the brain!
0:59:23 > 0:59:25- We'll all go.- You'll stay here.
0:59:25 > 0:59:27No, we'll all go.
0:59:27 > 0:59:29All right.
0:59:40 > 0:59:44Gee, time takes so long and goes so fast.
0:59:44 > 0:59:47The sun comes up soon, don't it?
0:59:47 > 0:59:48Too soon.
1:00:09 > 1:00:11HE WHIMPERS
1:00:11 > 1:00:13Edna...
1:00:14 > 1:00:16Edna!

1:00:25 > 1:00:27Edna...

1:00:29 > 1:00:31Edna...
1:00:39 > 1:00:41Police! Police! Police!
1:00:43 > 1:00:45What are you thinking, June?
1:00:47 > 1:00:49Tired, son?
1:00:49 > 1:00:53I'm in trouble and sick at heart, I know that.
1:00:53 > 1:00:56Nothing can happen to me.
1:00:56 > 1:00:59- I was dead once, did I tell you? - No!
1:00:59 > 1:01:01Drowned in a river when I was 12.
1:01:01 > 1:01:05I was "dead" but was revived after two hours.
1:01:05 > 1:01:11Next day I played handball and fainted. I stayed in bed for six weeks.
1:01:11 > 1:01:14Nothing more can happen to me.
1:01:14 > 1:01:16The air goes to your head like dope.
1:01:16 > 1:01:23Mr Bartelli, I'm mighty sorry about your sister but I'll have to hit you before 6.00am!
1:01:23 > 1:01:24Now!
1:01:54 > 1:01:58What's Val Bartelli doing here? This is a private party!
1:01:58 > 1:02:00I couldn't stop him!
1:02:00 > 1:02:03Whisky and soda.
1:02:03 > 1:02:06WAITER: It's too late. Sandwiches? No.
1:02:06 > 1:02:09 Anyone want some sandwiches?
1:02:09 > 1:02:12 A mineral water and some lemonades.
1:02:12 > 1:02:14What a surprise!
1:02:14 > 1:02:19- Who are the people?- A party for a retiring police captain.
1:02:19 > 1:02:23This boy's leaving, I'm showing him around.
1:02:23 > 1:02:27- Fine.- Don't tell Sleepy we're here. - Sure, Val.
1:02:36 > 1:02:39Old cops...delicious!
1:02:39 > 1:02:44- We'll have to wait.- Until school opens?- Turn him over to the cops.
1:02:44 > 1:02:47- If he's innocent?- He done it!
1:02:47 > 1:02:49Wait! He'll see you!
1:02:49 > 1:02:52He's as blind as a bat! Blind?
1:02:58 > 1:03:00APPLAUSE
1:03:11 > 1:03:13- Gee!- Don't waste your pity!
1:03:13 > 1:03:16This girl has got a head!
1:03:21 > 1:03:24If I can get him outside a moment...
1:03:24 > 1:03:28The party'll be over soon. > Blind...
1:03:28 > 1:03:33- Breaks your heart, don't it? - The city's full of men like that.
1:03:33 > 1:03:35Nerves and worry.
1:03:35 > 1:03:38Living on cigars and bicarbonate of soda.
1:03:38 > 1:03:43- Wrung out by sleepless nights. - He'll sleep good in a box.
1:03:43 > 1:03:48The bed bugs will never forgive you. Your skin is iron.
1:03:49 > 1:03:51No fuss!
1:03:57 > 1:04:01Am I supposed to baby him along all night?
1:04:01 > 1:04:03- Be patient!- OK?
1:04:03 > 1:04:08Yeah. What would you like to do? Because I suggest you do it.
1:04:09 > 1:04:10Well?
1:04:12 > 1:04:14That's right we'll wait.
1:04:14 > 1:04:18It's not your nature to wait, nor your sister's.
1:04:18 > 1:04:23Take, break, smash and kill! You and your sister alike!
1:04:23 > 1:04:28- What do you know about my sister? - I read her intimate correspondence.
1:04:28 > 1:04:31Highly perfumed!
1:04:31 > 1:04:34The perfume. I'm wearing her perfume.
1:04:34 > 1:04:39Suppose I stand at the piano and let him get a good whiff.
1:04:39 > 1:04:44- Proving what?- If he's guilty we'll see it with our eyes.
1:04:44 > 1:04:48- This girl has got a head! - BANGING ON TABLE
1:04:48 > 1:04:54Friends, who have been so kind to make this gathering possible,
1:04:54 > 1:04:58the hour grows late and we must part.
1:04:58 > 1:05:02"Parting is such sweet sorrow," as the poet says. >
1:05:02 > 1:05:08I must say a few words before... we won't get home until morning!
1:05:11 > 1:05:14I've heard myself referred to tonight, >
1:05:14 > 1:05:17as a credit to the force... >

1:07:01 > 1:07:03He didn't do it! Leave him!
1:07:14 > 1:07:18Which one of you spoiled the captain's party?
1:07:19 > 1:07:21- You sure?- Yes.
1:07:21 > 1:07:27- You're not lying?- No, sir. - She kept asking you to hug her?
1:07:27 > 1:07:29- Yes.- But you wouldn't.- No, sir.
1:07:29 > 1:07:34- Why? - She didn't appeal to me. - You don't say?
1:07:34 > 1:07:38You say no to her. You expect us to believe that?
1:07:38 > 1:07:44Why would I lie? This is like the time my aunt won a car and the whole family fought!
1:07:44 > 1:07:47RINGING
1:07:47 > 1:07:48Yes?
1:07:49 > 1:07:51Right.
1:07:51 > 1:07:55Bartelli's not wanted. Narcotics had him years back.
1:07:55 > 1:08:00- You can't keep me here. - Lieutenant Kane's outside for you.
1:08:09 > 1:08:14You're gonna see the building's foundations now!
1:08:14 > 1:08:16Very sweet of you, June.
1:08:21 > 1:08:28Look at the time! What will the captain say when I don't report for duty? Or my father when he hears?
1:08:28 > 1:08:31Listen to how the murderer talks!
1:08:31 > 1:08:33A punch on the nose, remember that?
1:08:33 > 1:08:37June, there's something I've got to tell you.
1:08:37 > 1:08:42Whatever happens, I don't know how I existed before I met you.
1:08:42 > 1:08:46- That's the truth. - POLICEMAN: Sit down, sister.
1:08:52 > 1:08:57Babe Dooley's in the case. I don't think he done it.
1:08:57 > 1:08:59It gets more complicated.
1:08:59 > 1:09:01The girl?
1:09:01 > 1:09:03Airtight she left the dance at one.
1:09:03 > 1:09:07Why take a boy back? Her brother's a belly-gunner.
1:09:07 > 1:09:09Sympathy.
1:09:09 > 1:09:13We can't hold Bartelli for Sleepy's death it was heart failure.
1:09:13 > 1:09:16Did HE tap his sister?
1:09:16 > 1:09:18I doubt it but I don't like him.
1:09:18 > 1:09:24How about the cabbie? Clean record. We're wasting our time.
1:09:24 > 1:09:27Why? The boy did it but he won't crack.
1:09:27 > 1:09:30Maybe he's innocent. Maybe he ain't.
1:09:30 > 1:09:34Ready for work, Smiley? Say when, Lieutenant.
1:09:34 > 1:09:35When.
1:09:38 > 1:09:42- SMILEY: Turn the radio off. - "I hear the whistle blowing."
1:09:44 > 1:09:49- Bartelli, still making book? - I never had no interest in THAT.
1:09:49 > 1:09:51You're the boy who killed her? >
1:09:51 > 1:09:56- I did NOT.- Stand up! What's that? - I did NOT!- Get up!
1:09:56 > 1:09:58Get up! >
1:09:58 > 1:10:01I'm too tired, I won't get up.
1:10:01 > 1:10:08- You're ready for a grave in Potter's field.- My friends will tell you I'm all right.- Your friends?
1:10:08 > 1:10:12Put 'em out the hall with the mops and brooms!
1:10:19 > 1:10:21Now you're alone.
1:10:21 > 1:10:25No friends. A murderer has no friends.
1:10:25 > 1:10:29- Are you ready to sign a confession? - I'm ready to sleep!
1:10:29 > 1:10:34Do you know what it's like to fry in the electric chair?
1:10:34 > 1:10:38- Stop this! - Detective, you're getting too rough.
1:10:38 > 1:10:41Kids like this make my blood boil!
1:10:41 > 1:10:44Calm down! We're in the United States!
1:10:44 > 1:10:48Officer, bring this lad some cold water.
1:10:52 > 1:10:57- What's happening in there? - The other one steps in, sympathetic,
1:10:57 > 1:11:00and Alex tells him everything.
1:11:00 > 1:11:04- What can he tell him? - About that blank hour in his life.
1:11:04 > 1:11:07He didn't do it, Gus!
1:11:07 > 1:11:10I know he didn't.
1:11:10 > 1:11:12Do you want these others to leave?
1:11:12 > 1:11:16No, they don't annoy me. I'm annoyed anyway.
1:11:16 > 1:11:20I don't get it! He don't deserve no coddling.
1:11:20 > 1:11:23There's no reason to lose your head!
1:11:24 > 1:11:28Did you enlist or were you drafted, lad?
1:11:28 > 1:11:35- I enlisted after Pearl Harbor. The president was on the radio. - You didn't kill that woman?
1:11:35 > 1:11:38- No, sir.- Who do you think did?
1:11:38 > 1:11:42I don't know. I thought it was her husband but I don't know.
1:11:42 > 1:11:45- You didn't.- No, but...- But what?
1:11:45 > 1:11:50Sometimes you wish you had a sore toe so you can sit and not worry.
1:11:50 > 1:11:53That was my mood last night.
1:11:53 > 1:11:56No place to go, disgusted.
1:11:56 > 1:11:58She kept offering me these drinks.
1:11:58 > 1:12:02I don't have any sales resistance, as my father says.
1:12:02 > 1:12:06After a few drinks... Non compos mentis.
1:12:06 > 1:12:09- Non compos mentis.- Yes, sir.
1:12:09 > 1:12:14I was lost. Like swimming under water in the dark.
1:12:14 > 1:12:18- Next thing the money was in my pocket.- You were unaware...
1:12:18 > 1:12:22- I was.- ..the money was in your pocket?- Right.
1:12:22 > 1:12:25- You wanna help us find the killer? - Yes.
1:12:25 > 1:12:27Did you do it?
1:12:27 > 1:12:33When you were non compos mentis and didn't know that you took the money?
1:12:33 > 1:12:36Is it possible? Be sincere.
1:12:36 > 1:12:41It's possible. I might have done it and not known I did.
1:12:41 > 1:12:48- Did she drink a lot? - More than I could count and I'm not dumb.- You're not dumb.
1:12:48 > 1:12:53He's not dumb! What's he doing in there? Shhh!
1:12:53 > 1:12:58You think it's possible you did it when you were fuzzy in the head.
1:12:58 > 1:13:00Be sincere.
1:13:00 > 1:13:05- Yes. It's possible. - You've pinned the tail on the donkey.
1:13:05 > 1:13:09- RINGING That's all!- But it's only possible!
1:13:09 > 1:13:12A technicality. Book him on a murder charge.
1:13:12 > 1:13:13Lieutenant!
1:13:15 > 1:13:19Tell my lawyer to go back to sleep when he gets here.
1:13:19 > 1:13:21Gus!
1:13:21 > 1:13:23- Yes?- You know what that means?
1:13:23 > 1:13:26Yes, I know what it means.
1:13:26 > 1:13:28The boy is innocent.
1:13:28 > 1:13:31In a minute he'll be free.
1:13:31 > 1:13:33Look at me, June.
1:13:35 > 1:13:39Your face is very beautiful when it's sad.
1:13:40 > 1:13:42A certain party is guilty.
1:13:42 > 1:13:47- All night he's been sawing off the branches.- Who is it?
1:13:47 > 1:13:50Do you want to come in with me?
1:13:52 > 1:13:54Lieutenant!
1:13:54 > 1:14:01The murderer of Edna Bartelli has just confessed to Captain Dill down at Homicide.
1:14:01 > 1:14:04GUS: Who? A man I never heard of.
1:14:09 > 1:14:12- Why are you keeping my wife? - You rushed?
1:14:12 > 1:14:14Our baby's at home.
1:14:14 > 1:14:18I love babies! Does my smoking bother you?
1:14:18 > 1:14:19No.
1:14:22 > 1:14:23Come in!
1:14:23 > 1:14:25Hello, Ken.
1:14:25 > 1:14:27Ever see 'em before?
1:14:29 > 1:14:30No.
1:14:30 > 1:14:33Just confessed like a baby doll!
1:14:33 > 1:14:36- Make fun! - Why did you kill her?
1:14:36 > 1:14:40- That's my business! - Not now, it isn't.
1:14:40 > 1:14:43I killed her, that's enough! Let her go!
1:14:43 > 1:14:47- She's exhausted. - Do you love your wife?
1:14:48 > 1:14:51- Yes. - Where did you get the gun?
1:14:51 > 1:14:57- I won't answer. Let her go home! - Did you ever rob a house before?
1:14:57 > 1:15:01LIEUTENANT: What did you do with her rings?
1:15:01 > 1:15:04- Let my wife go home!- I- did it!- >
1:15:04 > 1:15:08- This gun you bought it? - What's the diff?
1:15:09 > 1:15:15The diff is she wasn't robbed. And she was strangled not shot.
1:15:15 > 1:15:17- She wasn't shot!- Shut your mouth!
1:15:17 > 1:15:20How do you know, Mrs Robinson?
1:15:20 > 1:15:23She knows cos she did it! > No!
1:15:23 > 1:15:27Mrs Robinson? How do you know she wasn't shot?
1:15:27 > 1:15:30Because she was there.
1:15:30 > 1:15:33My daughter is innocent. She's protecting me.
1:15:33 > 1:15:38He's protecting her. She followed me to the apartment, too late.
1:15:38 > 1:15:40< Sit down.
1:15:50 > 1:15:56Gerry met Miss Bartelli in his dry-cleaning business. Met and was conquered.
1:15:56 > 1:15:58My grandchild was about to be born.
1:15:58 > 1:16:02I visited the lady and begged her to cut it out.
1:16:02 > 1:16:06It continued after the child was born. >
1:16:06 > 1:16:09Naturally my daughter was unhappy.
1:16:09 > 1:16:13I visited Miss Bartelli a second time useless!
1:16:13 > 1:16:16Last night, I visited the lady again.
1:16:16 > 1:16:19The lady was very abusive.
1:16:19 > 1:16:21At best, I am not a happy man
1:16:21 > 1:16:24but the years bring you discipline.
1:16:24 > 1:16:27She made me break that discipline. I took her...
1:16:27 > 1:16:30Sit down, Bartelli!
1:16:31 > 1:16:35Anything can happen in this heat and it happened.
1:16:35 > 1:16:40And yet I felt calm and satisfied, as if I did the right thing.
1:16:40 > 1:16:45That woman's heart was made of ice. She made people suffer. >
1:16:45 > 1:16:47People I love. >
1:16:47 > 1:16:52Maybe you won't believe it, but I murdered her for love!
1:16:53 > 1:16:55Statistics tell us...
1:16:58 > 1:17:01Oh, I forgot what they tell us.
1:17:01 > 1:17:05Then I picked up the boy innocence personified!
1:17:05 > 1:17:09I chased him away, he wouldn't go. So I tagged along.
1:17:09 > 1:17:16Every hour he got more involved. Myself, I could have saved a dozen times. But not at that boy's expense.
1:17:16 > 1:17:20Between you and me and the lamppost, Captain,
1:17:20 > 1:17:22happiness is no laughing matter.
1:17:22 > 1:17:25SHE SOBS No!
1:17:25 > 1:17:26No!
1:17:26 > 1:17:28Don't cry!
1:17:28 > 1:17:31Gerry, take her home.
1:17:32 > 1:17:39- You earned the right tonight. Cherish anyone who loves unselfishly as she does.- Yeah.
1:17:39 > 1:17:40Here.
1:17:40 > 1:17:43We'll be back this afternoon.
1:17:48 > 1:17:50Better lock him up.
1:17:50 > 1:17:53Release the boy, he has a bus to catch.
1:17:57 > 1:18:04He's a fine character. He'll give you an incentive. Pack and move closer to him!
1:18:04 > 1:18:09- Go back to Norfolk together, on a later bus.- Yes.
1:18:09 > 1:18:13Push through the daily cha-chaque of life together.
1:18:13 > 1:18:15Go ahead.
1:18:20 > 1:18:24Imagine, at my age, to have to learn to play a harp.
1:18:40 > 1:18:42- Mr Bartelli!- >
1:18:42 > 1:18:46It's terrible what happened, all of it. No hard feelings.
1:19:00 > 1:19:05- What's the matter? Afraid you hurt him?- I should have hit him more!
1:19:05 > 1:19:09It'll have to wait, character. We've a bus to catch.
1:19:09 > 1:19:12- To Norfolk?- Mm-hm.
1:19:12 > 1:19:14Home.
