00:02:02Can I help you?
00:02:03I'd like to see the man in charge.
00:02:05He's in here.
00:02:07♪♪
00:02:17I want to report a murder.
00:02:19Sit down.
00:02:24Why was this murder committed?
00:02:26San Francisco, last night.
00:02:29Who was murdered?
00:02:34I was.
00:02:35♪♪
00:02:40Well, do you want to hear me out or don't you, Captain?
00:02:42I don't have very much time.
00:02:47Your name Bigelow? Frank Bigelow?
00:02:51That's right.
00:02:54Answer this San Francisco APB.
00:02:56Send a direct to Inspector Bannon at Homicide.
00:02:58Tell him we found Frank Bigelow.
00:03:03Go ahead, Mr. Bigelow.
00:03:06Well, this involves some other people, Captain.
00:03:08A number of other people.
00:03:10You tell it any way you like.
00:03:15I live in a little town called Banning out on the desert.
00:03:18It's on the way to Palm Springs.
00:03:22I have a small business there.
00:03:27Paula.
00:03:30Yes, Mr. Bigelow?
00:03:31Get me a copy of Miss Hollis' 48 tax return, will you?
00:03:34Oh, uh, you better get the 47, too.
00:03:36Yes, Mr. Bigelow.
00:03:38I don't think we took any depreciation on that new equipment last year.
00:03:41No, we didn't.
00:03:42I remember you said we could include it all this year.
00:03:45Sure we can.
00:03:46Hey, Frank.
00:03:47Yeah, Will.
00:03:48Peterson says he wants a financial statement before he can give me my loan.
00:03:51Hello, Kitty.
00:03:52Hi, Will.
00:03:53Well, I'm leaving for San Francisco today, but I'll be back in about a week.
00:03:56I'll take care of it for you then.
00:03:57Sure is a scorcher, isn't it?
00:03:58Well, I've seen them worse.
00:03:59Well, have a nice time, Frank.
00:04:00Yeah, thanks, Will.
00:04:01Paula, why don't you come down to my place?
00:04:03Paula, why don't you come down to the place and let me give you another permanent?
00:04:06Makes your hair so much easier to manage in all this heat.
00:04:09I can't afford it right now.
00:04:10Maybe next month.
00:04:11Yeah, here it is.
00:04:12No, we didn't take it.
00:04:13Well, we can do it this year.
00:04:15You work it out any way you think fits.
00:04:17Have a nice trip, Frank.
00:04:19Sure, Kitty.
00:04:20See you when I get back.
00:04:21Bon voyage.
00:04:24Why don't you come down anyway, Paula?
00:04:26We'll, uh, work out a deal on that permanent.
00:04:29Thanks.
00:04:30Maybe I will.
00:04:31Hello?
00:04:33Oh, hello, Mr. Hawkins.
00:04:34Just a moment.
00:04:35Do you want him to send your ticket over?
00:04:37No, I'll pick it up myself.
00:04:39No, never mind.
00:04:40Mr. Bigelow will pick it up at the station.
00:04:42Bye.
00:04:48I want to go with you, Frank.
00:04:50Oh, Paula, I'm just going on a little vacation.
00:04:52You know that.
00:04:53You want to go without me, don't you?
00:04:55Be gone just a week.
00:04:56And I suppose you've just made up your mind to take this little vacation at 9 o'clock this morning?
00:05:00No, Paula.
00:05:01I meant to tell you about it a few days ago.
00:05:03I guess I forgot.
00:05:04Oh, you forgot.
00:05:05Paula, don't be like that.
00:05:07Don't be like what?
00:05:08You just drop a little announcement that you're going away.
00:05:11Not tomorrow or next week or next month, but today.
00:05:13No explanations, nothing.
00:05:14And I'm supposed to swallow the excuse that you need a little vacation.
00:05:18I just want to get away from town for a few days, that's all.
00:05:21Get away from this town or get away from me.
00:05:23Oh, Paula, please try to understand.
00:05:26How can you ask me to understand anything like this?
00:05:28No, I'm sorry, but I don't understand.
00:05:33Go to San Francisco, but don't expect me to be waiting for you when you get back.
00:05:54Paula.
00:05:55Please, Paula.
00:05:58Come on, turn around, look.
00:06:06Come here.
00:06:09Why do you do this to me, Frank?
00:06:11Why can't you be honest with me?
00:06:13As honest as I am with you?
00:06:15Do you have to go?
00:06:16I have to go, Paula.
00:06:17I know what I'm doing.
00:06:18All right, go.
00:06:19Go anywhere you like.
00:06:20You can go to places for all I care.
00:06:22Paula.
00:06:23Paula.
00:06:24Yes, I know.
00:06:26I'm being foolish.
00:06:40Come on, fix your face.
00:06:41We'll go down to Eddie's and have a drink.
00:06:43All right, why not?
00:06:51Hiya, Paula.
00:06:52Hiya, Frank.
00:06:53Hiya, Paula.
00:06:54Hiya, Eddie.
00:06:55Give us a couple of cold beers, will you?
00:06:56Coming up.
00:06:57All right.
00:07:03Oh, what a relief.
00:07:05This air conditioning feels good.
00:07:07I sure wish we had it in the office.
00:07:08It'd make working a pleasure.
00:07:10Well, if it stays this hot, don't bother going in the rest of the week.
00:07:12I win two races today.
00:07:14How many did you lose?
00:07:15You wouldn't have to ask that.
00:07:17Kind of early for you two, ain't it?
00:07:19Too hot to work.
00:07:20That's what I like to hear.
00:07:23Frank.
00:07:42You'll take me with you, won't you?
00:07:46You will, won't you?
00:07:50Or am I crowding you?
00:07:52What do you mean, crowding me?
00:07:56Maybe you do need this week away alone.
00:07:59Maybe we both do.
00:08:01I know what's going on inside of you, Frank.
00:08:03You're just like any other man, only a little more so.
00:08:06You have a feeling of being trapped, hemmed in,
00:08:08and you don't know whether or not you like it.
00:08:10Look, Paula.
00:08:12I'm going to be honest with you.
00:08:13I care too much for you not to be honest with you.
00:08:15I'm as much concerned for your happiness as I am for my own.
00:08:18I know you've had one bad experience, Frank.
00:08:20I know all about it.
00:08:21You don't know what it can do to two people, Paula.
00:08:23And the woman always gets hurt more than the man.
00:08:26I don't want you to get hurt, darling.
00:08:30More than anything in the world, I don't want you to get hurt.
00:08:37Want to hear some music?
00:08:39All right, Frank.
00:08:44Got a couple of nickels, Eddie?
00:08:45Yeah.
00:08:47This won't bother you, will it?
00:08:48No, the next result doesn't come in for half an hour.
00:08:51All right.
00:09:02I thought that by now we'd be married.
00:09:07No, I'm not going to crowd you anymore, Frank.
00:09:09Go to San Francisco.
00:09:10I don't like it.
00:09:11But I'm convinced that you must go.
00:09:15I want you to be very sure, Frank.
00:09:17If it's right, and I believe it is,
00:09:19we'll have something really wonderful together.
00:09:23If it isn't, we should both know it as soon as possible.
00:09:28So you see, even if I could stop you, I wouldn't do it now.
00:09:49Yes, sir.
00:09:50My name is Bigelow.
00:09:51I have a reservation.
00:09:52Yes, sir.
00:09:57Here we are, sir.
00:09:58My name is Bigelow.
00:09:59I have a reservation.
00:10:00I have it, sir.
00:10:01It's a very nice room on the sixth floor, facing the bay.
00:10:04Boy, this might help you enjoy your stay, Mr. Bigelow.
00:10:07There's a little booklet on how to have fun in San Francisco.
00:10:10Oh, thank you, sir.
00:10:18Here's a booklet on how to have fun in San Francisco.
00:10:20Oh, thank you.
00:10:21Very welcome, sir.
00:10:26Say, is it always like this around here?
00:10:28No, this is market week, and it's the last day, too.
00:10:30Boy!
00:10:32Always around until you need them.
00:10:39Here's a message for you, Mr. Bigelow.
00:10:41A long-distance call came in about an hour ago from Banning, from a Paula Gibson.
00:10:44Oh, thank you.
00:10:45Very welcome.
00:10:46Show Mr. Bigelow to 618.
00:10:47Right this way, Sly.
00:11:05Right this way, Mr. Bigelow.
00:11:24Is there anything else, Mr. Bigelow?
00:11:25Oh, yes.
00:11:26You can get me a dry Manhattan and a pack of razor blades.
00:11:29Yes, sir.
00:11:31Oh, and you can leave that door open.
00:11:35Hello, operator?
00:11:37I want to speak to Miss Paula Gibson in Banning, California.
00:11:40That's right.
00:11:41I'll wait.
00:11:42Hello?
00:11:43Hello, Paula.
00:11:45Oh, hello, Frank.
00:11:46How was the trip?
00:11:47Fine.
00:11:48Just fine.
00:11:49Having a miserable time, I hope.
00:11:51Well, I don't know.
00:11:52I just got in.
00:11:57What was that?
00:11:58Market week.
00:11:59The place is crawling with traveling salesmen.
00:12:01You know, Charlie Anderson found out that you went away, and he asked me to go out with him.
00:12:04Oh, really?
00:12:05How did he make out?
00:12:07I'm considering it.
00:12:08Is that what you called to tell me?
00:12:10I'll have you know that this call is strictly business, Mr. Bigelow.
00:12:13Did a Mr. Phillips phone you?
00:12:14A Eugene Phillips of Los Angeles.
00:12:16No.
00:12:17He will.
00:12:18He phoned the office three times today.
00:12:19Said that he wanted to get in touch with you immediately.
00:12:21He said it's most urgent and imperative that he reach you at once.
00:12:24What did he want?
00:12:25I don't know.
00:12:26But he sounded deep, dark, and mysterious, and quite agitated about something.
00:12:30Phillips, Phillips.
00:12:31Have we ever done any business with him?
00:12:33Not unless you've been keeping it a secret from me.
00:12:35I looked through all the accounts.
00:12:37Uh, why did you tell him you could reach me here?
00:12:39You know I'm supposed to be on vacation.
00:12:41So you told me.
00:12:42And so I told him, dear heart.
00:12:44But the gentleman didn't seem to respect your temperamental moods the way I do.
00:12:48He was very insistent that he speak to you before it's too late, as he put it.
00:12:52Well, tell him you're trying to get in touch with me, and I've changed my plans, and he can't reach me.
00:12:56He won't talk to me.
00:12:58I told him that I was your confidential secretary, but I guess I didn't sound very confident.
00:13:02He won't talk to me.
00:13:03I told him that I was your confidential secretary, but I guess I didn't sound confidential enough.
00:13:08So I told him that he could reach you there this evening.
00:13:10Well, call him back.
00:13:11If it's as important as he says it is, he'll talk to you.
00:13:14Otherwise, he'll just have to wait until I get home.
00:13:16My, aren't we adamant this evening.
00:13:19All right.
00:13:20Shall do.
00:13:23And Frank.
00:13:24Yeah?
00:13:26I...
00:13:28I don't quite know how to say this.
00:13:30Say what?
00:13:32Well, what I want to say is that there's nothing you can do that you ever have to feel guilty about.
00:13:40Oh.
00:13:42Sure.
00:13:45Thanks, Paula.
00:13:46I'll, uh...
00:13:47I'll call you tomorrow.
00:13:50Frank?
00:14:02Hello.
00:14:17Oh, just put it there, please.
00:14:22You can keep the change.
00:14:23Thanks very much.
00:14:24Say, um, how long has this been going on?
00:14:26Oh, it's been a madhouse all week, but they check out tomorrow.
00:14:29Oh?
00:14:30I thought you were with them.
00:14:31No, no, I'm just here on a vacation.
00:14:33Why does everybody come to San Francisco and tear loose?
00:14:38Excuse me.
00:14:40Say, uh, I'm awfully sorry to bother you, but, uh, would you mind if I used your telephone?
00:14:44No, no, go right ahead.
00:14:45I'm just across the hall here.
00:14:46One of the boys is using my phone and, uh, he's been on it for a half hour.
00:14:50I just want to call downstairs.
00:14:51Yeah?
00:14:54Room service, please.
00:14:56Hey, uh, things really picked up the last few days, didn't they?
00:14:59You're right up much business?
00:15:00Well, I'm not here on business.
00:15:01Oh, hello, room service?
00:15:02It's Mr. Haskell in 617.
00:15:04Yes, that's right.
00:15:05Would you send up, uh, three more bottles of bourbon and two scotch?
00:15:08Yes.
00:15:10Oh, and, uh, some more ice, too.
00:15:12All right, thank you.
00:15:14You here all alone?
00:15:15Yes, I just got in town.
00:15:16Well, why don't you join us for a drink?
00:15:18Well, I don't want to barge in on your party.
00:15:20Oh, nonsense.
00:15:21It's not a party.
00:15:22Just a few of the boys entertaining some buyers.
00:15:24You know, the usual thing.
00:15:25A few drinks and some laughs.
00:15:28It's no party.
00:15:29Come on.
00:15:30Come on, come on, get along.
00:15:32I don't always like to be all alone in a strange city.
00:15:35I'm, uh, Sam Haskell.
00:15:36I'm Frank.
00:15:37Frank Bigelow.
00:15:39You think some of these guys have never been away from home before?
00:15:41Yeah.
00:15:44Hey, hey.
00:15:46Hey, will you quiet down a second?
00:15:48I want you to meet Frank Bigelow.
00:15:49Hello.
00:15:51This is Jane Carlyle.
00:15:52Hello.
00:15:53Bill Welch.
00:15:54How are you?
00:15:55Mr. Welch.
00:15:56Glad to know you, Bigelow.
00:15:57Jane's the prettiest buyer in San Francisco.
00:15:58You don't think I believe him, Elaine.
00:15:59Well, he spread that from coast to coast.
00:16:01Oh, gee.
00:16:02But it's good for my morale anyway.
00:16:03I'm George Cantwell.
00:16:04Glad to know you, Mr. Bigelow.
00:16:06Bigelow, yes.
00:16:07Right on much business?
00:16:08He's not here on business.
00:16:09Oh?
00:16:10Well?
00:16:11Well, why don't you get the man a drink before he dies of thirst?
00:16:14How about a little bourbon?
00:16:15Well, that's fine.
00:16:16Bourbon it is.
00:16:18Of course, Mr. Wallace, Inspector.
00:16:20Yes, Mr. Wallace.
00:16:22But, Mr. Wallace, I'll need at least a week in Cleveland to visit all my accounts.
00:16:26I can't figure on being in Philadelphia until the 17th.
00:16:28Eddie, will you get off the phone?
00:16:29I want you to meet Frank Bigelow.
00:16:31That's his boss.
00:16:32He's been trying for an hour to get his expense account boosted.
00:16:35The way this guy holds on to a dollar, you'd think they weren't printing them anymore.
00:16:38Yes, Mr. Wallace.
00:16:39I'm leaving here the first thing in the morning.
00:16:41Yes, sir.
00:16:43Oh, keep your hips loose, Harry.
00:16:45Like this.
00:16:47Oh, yeah.
00:16:49How's he doing?
00:16:50Oh, there's nothing wrong with Harry's rubber.
00:16:52The two years without the Murray's wouldn't have killed him.
00:16:54Well, that was going all right.
00:16:56This is Sue and Harry Brandes.
00:16:57Hello.
00:16:58Good to meet you.
00:16:59How are you?
00:17:00Where'd you find her, Sam?
00:17:01On a dance marathon?
00:17:02She's marvelous.
00:17:04Now that you can do the rumba.
00:17:06Well, a little, but I'm kind of rusty.
00:17:08Anything would be an improvement after Harry.
00:17:10Well, how do you like that?
00:17:11Well, here goes.
00:17:16Hey, you're good.
00:17:20Oh, well, my wife, she's a good dancer, isn't she, Bigelow?
00:17:23Yeah.
00:17:26Hey, fellas, I thought you were going to show us a good time tonight.
00:17:29Is this doing the town?
00:17:30That's right.
00:17:31We practically bankrupt our stores to buy everything you've got.
00:17:34Then you keep us in this hotel room.
00:17:36I agree.
00:17:37This is my last night to howl before I go back to being a dutiful housewife.
00:17:42Well, it looks like we're stuck, boys.
00:17:44This is where we blow all our commissions in one night.
00:17:48And you're coming with us, Bigelow.
00:17:49Oh, no, thanks.
00:17:50You run along.
00:17:51I've got to get unpacked and have dinner.
00:17:52Oh, no, you're not going to get away from me.
00:17:54Now that I've found a man who can dance, I'm going to hang on to him.
00:18:22Come on, baby.
00:18:44Right about here, psycho.
00:18:45Come on.
00:18:46Whoa!
00:18:47Cool! Cool! Really cool!
00:18:57Man, am I hip!
00:18:59No way! No way!
00:19:01Whoa!
00:19:15Blow it! Blow up a storm, fisherman!
00:19:31Go on, go on, go on, get it, get it!
00:20:01Here, have a little bit of my drink, Frank.
00:20:15No, thank you.
00:20:17Excuse me a moment.
00:20:19Where are you going, Frank?
00:20:20Excuse me.
00:20:21I think you've had enough.
00:20:32What'll it be?
00:20:34Bourbon and water, no ice.
00:20:36Nice, quiet place you got here.
00:20:38Well, we hit the pitch in about an hour.
00:20:39That's when they really go out of their minds.
00:20:41Who's the blonde?
00:20:45Oh, she's one of the chicks that hangs around here.
00:20:47She's jive crazy.
00:20:49Come again?
00:20:50Oh, you ain't hip, pal.
00:20:51Jive crazy means that she goes for this stuff.
00:20:53Just between you and me, I don't get it either, but I gotta listen to it.
00:20:56They're all connoisseurs, music lovers.
00:20:58Me, I like Guy Lombardo.
00:21:01What's the matter with him?
00:21:02Oh, he's flipped.
00:21:03The music's driving him crazy.
00:21:05Come down, Jackie.
00:21:07Oh, don't buy me, man.
00:21:08I'm being enlightened.
00:21:10Is the blonde alone?
00:21:11Oh, sure, society.
00:21:12She always comes in alone.
00:21:14Drives a big convertible, wears a mink coat, but knows everybody.
00:21:17But she always comes in alone.
00:21:26Give me another blast, Leo.
00:21:28What's your story, Jeannie?
00:21:30Easy.
00:21:35Hello.
00:21:36Easy.
00:21:37Dig the fisherman.
00:21:38That's really silk, isn't it?
00:21:40Can I buy you a drink?
00:21:41Sure, thanks.
00:21:42Give me a blast, Leo.
00:21:44Leo, I left my blast at the other end of the bar.
00:21:48My name is Jeannie.
00:21:49What's yours?
00:21:50Frank.
00:21:51I've never seen you here before, Frank.
00:21:53Well, I've never been here.
00:22:00This isn't mine.
00:22:01Mine was bourbon.
00:22:02Well, sure it is.
00:22:03You saw me pour it.
00:22:07Can I have a glass of bourbon?
00:22:08Sure.
00:22:09Thanks.
00:22:10This isn't mine.
00:22:11Mine was bourbon.
00:22:12Well, sure it is.
00:22:13You saw me pour it.
00:22:16Give me a fresh drink.
00:22:17Anything you say.
00:22:19Oh, listen to that piano.
00:22:21Feel those vibrations.
00:22:25You don't get your kicks out of this, do you?
00:22:27I can live without it.
00:22:29Why do you stay here?
00:22:31I don't know.
00:22:32I bet I know.
00:22:33You're lonely in a big city.
00:22:35Well, you don't have to go into a routine with me.
00:22:38I like good company, too.
00:22:48Say, there's some people there I want to avoid.
00:22:51Couldn't we get out of here?
00:22:54Let me think about it.
00:22:55Oh, come on.
00:22:56How about going somewhere else, then?
00:22:58Why don't you meet me later?
00:23:04Okay.
00:23:05Where?
00:23:07I tried to forget you.
00:23:10But you whispered, darling, I love you.
00:23:14Call me at that number later.
00:23:16It's my next stop.
00:23:18They've got a band there that'll really send you.
00:23:21See you, Jeanie.
00:23:22Easy.
00:23:36Never mind, Alfred.
00:24:07Oh, my God.
00:24:08Oh, my God.

00:26:00Oh, my God.
00:26:01Oh, my God.
00:26:02Are you all right, sir?
00:26:03Yeah, sure.
00:26:04All right.
00:26:05I just had too big a night, I guess.
00:26:06That's all.
00:26:07I need some fresh air.
00:26:08Of course.
00:26:09Thank you, sir.
00:26:10Yeah.
00:26:11Good morning, Doctor.
00:26:12Good morning.
00:26:13Good morning, sir.
00:26:15I, uh, think we gave all the patients the shots that we have,
00:26:23and I think we might have a potential possible
00:27:02Let's go.
00:27:16Lungs in good condition.
00:27:18Blood pressure normal.
00:27:19Heart fine.
00:27:21Well, it's a good thing everybody isn't like you, Mr. Bigelow.
00:27:23Put us doctors out of business.
00:27:25I'm glad to hear it, Doctor.
00:27:26I was a little worried.
00:27:27Don't let a little belly ache worry you.
00:27:28Could be just the change of climate.
00:27:30Well, it isn't exactly an ache, Doctor.
00:27:32It's kind of hard to describe the feeling.
00:27:34Maybe it was the drinks I had last night.
00:27:36I might have mixed them too much, huh?
00:27:37Let's have another look at that throat.
00:27:43You may finish dressing now, Mr. Bigelow.
00:27:45I want to get the results of those tests we took.
00:27:47Thank you, Doctor.
00:28:03Mr. Bigelow, this is Dr. Schaefer.
00:28:05Hello, Doctor. How are you?
00:28:06Sit down, Mr. Bigelow.
00:28:09According to the information you gave Miss Wilson,
00:28:11you're not married, Mr. Bigelow.
00:28:13That's right.
00:28:14Do you have any relatives, family,
00:28:15anyone in San Francisco?
00:28:17No, no one.
00:28:18I don't know a soul in San Francisco.
00:28:19Where is your home?
00:28:21What is this, Doctor?
00:28:22Why all the questions?
00:28:23You're a very sick man, Mr. Bigelow.
00:28:24Sick?
00:28:25Well, I'm not sick.
00:28:26I'm not sick.
00:28:27I'm not sick.
00:28:28I'm not sick.
00:28:29I'm not sick.
00:28:30I'm not sick, Mr. Bigelow.
00:28:31Sick?
00:28:32But you told me I was in good shape.
00:28:34Yes, I know.
00:28:35But my preliminary examination didn't
00:28:37reveal your true condition.
00:28:38You sound as if it's pretty serious, Doctor.
00:28:40It's extremely serious.
00:28:41I want you to understand that we wouldn't tell you
00:28:43something like this unless we were absolutely certain.
00:28:45Well, of course, of course.
00:28:47You must steel yourself for a shock, Mr. Bigelow.
00:28:49Well, go on, Doctor.
00:28:50What is it you're trying to tell me?
00:28:51Our tests reveal the presence in your body
00:28:53of a luminous toxic matter.
00:28:55What is that exactly?
00:28:57A poison that attacks the vital organs.
00:28:59Poison?
00:29:00I have no authority but to tell you this.
00:29:01Your system has already absorbed sufficient toxin
00:29:04to prove fatal.
00:29:05I wish there was something that we could do.
00:29:08What do you mean, wish?
00:29:09You mean there's nothing?
00:29:10There is nothing anyone can do.
00:29:12This is one of the few poisons of its type
00:29:13for which there is no antidote.
00:29:16This is fantastic.
00:29:17This is the most ridiculous thing.
00:29:19Mr. Bigelow, you don't have very long.
00:29:23What do you mean?
00:29:24A day, possibly a week, two weeks at the outside.
00:29:27It's hard to say exactly.
00:29:29It's impossible, I don't believe it.
00:29:30You've made a mistake.
00:29:31That's it, it could be a mistake, couldn't it?
00:29:33You have made a mistake, haven't you?
00:29:35Answer me.
00:29:36Dr. Schaefer is an authority on toxicology.
00:29:38Been no mistake, Mr. Bigelow.
00:29:41Do you realize what you're saying?
00:29:42Well, you're telling me that I'm dead.
00:29:45Do you think you can explain my life away
00:29:46in just a few words?
00:29:47Why, I don't even know who you are.
00:29:49Why should I believe you?
00:29:50You must calm yourself, Mr. Bigelow.
00:29:52We want to offer you every assistance that we can.
00:29:54Assistance?
00:29:55Who wants your assistance?
00:29:56Who wants anything from you?
00:29:57You're nothing but a couple of phonies.
00:29:58You're crazy, that's it.
00:29:59You're crazy, the both of you, you're crazy.
00:30:17Where's the doctor?
00:30:18You've got to come with me.
00:30:19You've got to go through this thing before you can.
00:30:20Get out of here.
00:30:21Get out of here, doctor.
00:30:22Get out of here.
00:30:23What's the trouble here?
00:30:24What's the matter with you?
00:30:25Doctor, I want you to examine me for luminous poisoning.
00:30:29Come right in here.
00:30:39Yeah, you've got it all right.
00:30:42Your system has already absorbed it.
00:30:45Are you sure, doctor?
00:30:46Are you absolutely certain?
00:30:48Couldn't there be some mistake?
00:30:54There it is.
00:30:55The toxin is actually luminous,
00:30:57actually luminous in the dark.
00:30:59Now there's no doubt about a big low.
00:31:02I don't feel sick.
00:31:03My stomach is just a little bit upset.
00:31:06Maybe it's not as bad as you think, doctor.
00:31:08That's characteristic.
00:31:09With a heavy jolt, you go suddenly in a matter of hours.
00:31:12But if the stuff is taken in a lesser degree,
00:31:14you last a while.
00:31:15And then...
00:31:19And then...
00:31:23Give it to me straight, doctor.
00:31:24Well, a number of things are involved.
00:31:26The systemic condition of the individual,
00:31:28the amount consumed, exertion...
00:31:30Yes.
00:31:31You won't feel too badly for a while.
00:31:33Then it will happen suddenly.
00:31:35A day, two days, a week at the most.
00:31:43A day?
00:31:45Two days?
00:31:46There's nothing that can be done now.
00:31:48If it had been caught in time,
00:31:49your stomach could have been washed out.
00:31:51But you've had it in you for some time now.
00:31:53For at least 12 hours, haven't you, big low?
00:31:55No.
00:31:57You don't know?
00:31:58No.
00:31:59Don't you know how you got it?
00:32:00No.
00:32:01This is no accident.
00:32:02Somebody knew how to handle that stuff.
00:32:04That wax is tasteless, odorless.
00:32:06The amount of alcohol in your body,
00:32:07you must have got it from liquor.
00:32:08I was drinking last night.
00:32:10Arrange for your admission to the hospital immediately.
00:32:13Of course, I'll have to notify the police.
00:32:16This is a case for homicide.
00:32:18Homicide?
00:32:19I don't think you fully understand, big low.
00:32:22You've been murdered.
00:32:25Give me police headquarters, please.
00:32:27Homicide Bureau.
00:33:25I'm sorry.
00:33:26I'm sorry.
00:33:27I'm sorry.
00:33:28I'm sorry.
00:33:29I'm sorry.
00:33:30I'm sorry.
00:33:31I'm sorry.
00:33:32I'm sorry.
00:33:33I'm sorry.
00:33:34I'm sorry.
00:33:35I'm sorry.
00:33:36I'm sorry.
00:33:37I'm sorry.
00:33:38I'm sorry.
00:33:39I'm sorry.
00:33:40I'm sorry.
00:33:41I'm sorry.
00:33:42I'm sorry.
00:33:43I'm sorry.
00:33:44I'm sorry.
00:33:45I'm sorry.
00:33:46I'm sorry.
00:33:47I'm sorry.
00:33:48I'm sorry.
00:33:49I'm sorry.
00:33:50I'm sorry.
00:33:51I'm sorry.
00:33:52I'm sorry.
00:33:53I'm sorry.
00:33:54Today, two days.
00:33:56A week at a most.
00:34:25You've been murdered.
00:34:28And this is no accident.
00:34:29Somebody knew how to handle that stuff.
00:34:31You might have alcohol in your body.
00:34:32You must have got it from liquor.
00:34:35There's nothing that can be done now.
00:34:37You've been murdered.
00:34:39You've been murdered.
00:34:41You've been murdered.
00:34:42You've been murdered.
00:34:43You've been murdered.
00:34:44You've been murdered.
00:35:24Open this door, I tell you.
00:35:52Open it up or I'll break it down.
00:35:54Where are those men?
00:35:55Where are those men who were here last night?
00:35:56I don't know.
00:35:57There are no men here.
00:35:58Please go away.
00:35:59Don't lie to me.
00:36:00Where are they?
00:36:01Mister, this lady just checked in.
00:36:02Those men aren't here no longer.
00:36:04They checked out of the hotel early this morning.
00:36:06Checked out?
00:36:07Please go away.
00:36:08I'm sorry.
00:36:09I'm terribly sorry.
00:36:10Hello?
00:36:11Please, Mr. Bigelow, my eardrums.
00:36:12Oh, hello, Paula.
00:36:14Your enthusiasm overwhelms me.
00:36:15Why haven't you phoned me?
00:36:16Or is there a quota on telephone calls up there?
00:36:18I'm sorry.
00:36:19I've been busy.
00:36:20I'll bet you have.
00:36:21Visiting the museums, no doubt.
00:36:22What's happening up there that's exciting or different?
00:36:23Nothing, not a thing.
00:36:24I'll bet you miss me, but you're too stubborn.
00:36:25You should be ashamed of yourself.
00:36:26I'm sorry.
00:36:27I'm sorry.
00:36:28I'm sorry.
00:36:29I'm sorry.
00:36:30I'm sorry.
00:36:31I'm sorry.
00:36:32I'm sorry.
00:36:33I'm sorry.
00:36:34I'm sorry.
00:36:35I'm so sorry.
00:36:36I'm sorry.
00:36:37I'm sorry.
00:36:38I'm sorry.
00:36:39I'm sorry.
00:36:40I'm sorry.
00:36:41I'm sorry.
00:36:42I'm sorry.
00:36:43stubborn to admit it. Sure. You know if you'd like me to come up I can pack a
00:36:47toothbrush and leave right away. No! Well you don't have to snap my head off you
00:36:52could at least make a pretence of missing me. I'm sorry Paula. Of course I miss you.
00:37:00Listen Paula, I...
00:37:05Paula it's just that I I don't feel like talking now I'll call you later. Don't
00:37:09strain yourself. You phone me sometime when you feel more like talking. Oh by
00:37:16the way I called that Mr. Phillips back. Phillips? Yes you know the man that tried
00:37:21to reach you. Well I'm afraid you'll never know why it was so important that he
00:37:24speak to you. His office said he died yesterday. Frank are you there? Did you
00:37:31hear me? Died? When? Yesterday. So you won't have to bother your little head
00:37:41about him anymore you can just go ahead and have fun. Paula what did he die from
00:37:47do you know? I suppose he died from whatever people usually die from. Well
00:37:51didn't they tell you don't you know? What are you getting so excited about you
00:37:54said you didn't even know the man. Listen where's this office located? What
00:37:58difference does it make you can't talk to him now I told you the man's dead.
00:38:01Paula will you stop talking so much and tell me where his office is. All right
00:38:07it's the Phillips importing and exporting company Bradbury building Los
00:38:13Angeles. Bradbury building Los Angeles. That's right say this is really a switch.
00:38:19Listen if you want to reach me I'll be in Los Angeles. Are you out of your mind?
00:38:22I'm sorry Paula I've got to hurry. Wait a minute where in Los Angeles? The Allison
00:38:27hotel. Goodbye Paula.
00:38:57I'd like to see someone in charge here. What is it in regard to? It's a personal matter it's
00:39:08quite urgent. Perhaps Mr. Halliday can help you. Who's he? He's our controller your
00:39:12name please? Bigelow. Mr. Bigelow to see you. Send him in. Go right in please that
00:39:19door. Mr. Bigelow? How are you Mr. Halliday? What can I do for you? Well Mr. Phillips
00:39:32phoned my office several times yesterday I'd like to find out what it's all about.
00:39:35You know Mr. Phillips died yesterday? Yes I know. Well I don't understand if he
00:39:41phoned you didn't he tell you what it was about? Well he didn't speak to me I
00:39:45wasn't in my office at the time and he wouldn't tell my secretary. I'm afraid I
00:39:49can't be of much help Mr. Bigelow I have no idea why Mr. Phillips tried to reach
00:39:53you I'm sorry you had to make the trip for nothing. How do you know I made a trip?
00:39:58I didn't say anything about making a trip I merely said he phoned my office my
00:40:01office could be here in Los Angeles. Miss Foster. Yes? Didn't you mention something
00:40:10yesterday about Mr. Phillips speaking with Mr. Bigelow in San Francisco? I said
00:40:13that he had phoned Mr. Bigelow's office in Banning but that Mr. Bigelow was
00:40:16staying at the St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco. I'm sorry you misunderstood me.
00:40:19Do you know why Mr. Phillips called? No I don't. All right thank you Miss Foster.
00:40:23You can understand that we've been somewhat upset around here. Now if you
00:40:27don't mind.
00:40:34Did Mr. Phillips have a wife family anyone that could help me? You can't
00:40:38intrude on people at a time like this just to satisfy some curiosity. It isn't
00:40:42just curiosity. Then I suggest you wait a week or so. I can't wait. I'm sorry you'll
00:40:45have to. Well there's always a phone book. You're a pretty aggressive fella Bigelow.
00:40:49Are you quite sure that this is as important as you make it appear to be?
00:40:52It's important. Mrs. Phillips lives at the Sunset Arms Apartments. Thank you. I
00:40:58needn't tell you she's under a strain.
00:41:04I suppose you're capable of using a little more tact with her than you
00:41:07demonstrated with me. I think I can handle it. By the way what was the cause of Mr.
00:41:11Phillips' death? Suicide. He lit from the balcony of his apartment.
00:41:29Come in Mr. Bigelow.
00:41:34I'm Stanley Phillips Eugene's brother. Halliday phoned that you were coming.
00:41:45This is my sister-in-law Mrs. Phillips. I'll try to make this as brief as
00:41:50possible Mrs. Phillips. I'm afraid I can't be of any help to you Mr. Bigelow.
00:41:54I haven't the slightest idea why my husband wanted to speak to you. Well I
00:42:02guess Halliday covered just about everything. Did your husband ever
00:42:06mention anything about me Mrs. Phillips? Anything at all? No I can't recall Eugene
00:42:11ever having mentioned your name.
00:42:22I hate to ask you this Mrs. Phillips but it's a vital importance to me. Do you
00:42:28know why your husband committed suicide?
00:42:35You're certainly not the most diplomatic person in the world are you Bigelow?
00:42:40Were you a friend of my brother's? I never met him.
00:42:49My brother was in a jam a pretty bad jam. He was arrested two days ago. He sold some
00:42:55iridium to a dealer by the name of Majak. It's a very rare metal very costly.
00:42:59Anyway the iridium turned out to be stolen. He was released on bail yesterday
00:43:04but he faced a pretty stiff prison term. And have committed suicide alas. Yes I
00:43:08know that's how the police feel about it. What puzzles me though is this crooked
00:43:11deal. Knowing Eugene you wouldn't say he's the type of man to be mixed up in
00:43:15anything like that now would you? I told you I never met him. That's right so you
00:43:18did. Now what's this all got to do with you Bigelow? I don't know. Let's come
00:43:22clean with each other Bigelow. Surely you must have some idea why my brother was
00:43:25so desperate to contact you. I have no idea. That's odd. Then how could it be of
00:43:29such vital importance to you? You seem to know the answer to everything else.
00:43:32Maybe you know the answer to that one too.
00:43:45There's a message here for you to call operator 82 at Fanning. Oh thank you.
00:43:49Show Mr. Bigelow to room 821. Say would you have the operator put this call
00:43:53through to my room right away? Yes. I'll take it up there. Thank you. Hello operator.
00:44:00Here you are. I'll call you if I need anything. Thank you sir. Hello Paula. Well Sinbad I've
00:44:07just about given you up for lost. Now do you mind telling me just why you rushed
00:44:12down to Los Angeles? I can't explain it to you just now Paula. I just can't
00:44:18explain it. What's going on Frank? You don't even sound like yourself. Well I'm
00:44:24just a little tired Paula that's all.
00:44:28But I miss you. Oh Frank. I can't tell you how good it is to hear you say that.
00:44:36And here I was worrying that I'd lost my charm. When are you coming home Frank?
00:44:42Soon Paula. I'll be home soon. I'll go right out and get myself a permanent so I'll be
00:44:49pretty when you see me. Hey guess what? I found that Phillips name in your notarial
00:44:54ledger. Notarial ledger? Yes of all places. I remember now I made the entry myself.
00:45:01You had notarized a paper one morning before I came to work. What kind of paper
00:45:05was it? A bill of sale for a George Reynolds made out to Eugene Phillips of
00:45:10Los Angeles. So you see I was right. We hadn't done any business with Phillips
00:45:14only indirectly. What was the bill of sale for? A shipment of iridium whatever
00:45:18that is. Iridium? You mentioned at the time that this fellow Reynolds had made some
00:45:22kind of a deal in Palm Springs and he stopped in your office early in the
00:45:25morning on his way north to have it notarized. Wait a minute. Wait a minute
00:45:29George Reynolds that was about six months ago wasn't it? That's right six
00:45:34months ago. Thanks Paul. Oh goodbye. Goodbye Paul. Hello operator get that number back for me.
00:46:04I've got to talk to you Mrs. Phillips. Please go away. I want to be left alone.
00:46:11But I found out why your husband wanted to see me. It was in connection with a
00:46:13bill of sale. Come in. Thank you. What do you know about a man named George
00:46:20Reynolds? George Reynolds? Yes. Why that's the man my husband claimed sold him the
00:46:25iridium. And what did Reynolds claim? Reynolds disappeared. Yes. About two
00:46:29months ago my husband grew suspicious that something was wrong. Since then he
00:46:33tried in every way to locate Reynolds but could find no trace of him. But I
00:46:37don't get it. Your husband could have proved he made a legitimate deal by
00:46:40showing the bill of sale he got from Reynolds. And there was a bill of sale?
00:46:42Yes yes of course there was. My husband swore there was but at the time of his
00:46:46arrest he he couldn't find it. It was mysteriously missing. Well then if your
00:46:50husband could have shown proof it would have been George Reynolds who would have
00:46:53faced the prison term. Eugene was convinced that Reynolds had stolen the
00:46:56bill of sale. He was the only one who had reason to eliminate evidence of the
00:46:59transaction. Thank you Mrs. Phillips. Thank you very much. You've been very helpful.
00:47:06Oh if you'd only come sooner Mr. Bigelow. My husband might be alive today. I know.
00:47:20The only thing that puzzles me Mrs. Phillips is that you haven't asked how I
00:47:24knew there was a bill of sale.
00:47:29Mr. Holliday isn't in. He should be back shortly. I think you're the one who can help me
00:47:43Miss Foster. Mr. Phillips tried to reach someone else before he called me
00:47:46yesterday didn't he? Why don't you ask Mr. Holliday? Obviously Mr. Holliday wasn't
00:47:49here yesterday or he wouldn't have had to learn from you that Phillips called
00:47:52me. And you're the logical person to know who else Phillips called. I don't believe
00:47:56that's any of your business Mr. Bigelow. Don't think you're revealing anything
00:47:58confidential Miss Foster. I know that he tried to reach somebody else. Mrs.
00:48:01Phillips told me. You're bluffing Mr. Bigelow. I don't know what you're after
00:48:04but you're trying to trick me. Mrs. Phillips didn't tell you a thing. How do
00:48:08you know that? Mrs. Phillips knows nothing about it. She doesn't? Well why
00:48:12wouldn't she? Wait a minute. I was talking about George Reynolds. Who did you think
00:48:16I meant? Just who is it that Mrs. Phillips doesn't know about? I told you before
00:48:19that's none of your business. All right young lady I'm gonna give it to you straight.
00:48:21Phillips was murdered. Murdered? I don't believe you. He called me because he needed me to
00:48:24clear him. Phillips was innocent. Innocent men don't have to jump out of
00:48:26windows. Murdered? Just who are you trying to protect Miss Foster? Why are you so
00:48:30afraid to tell the truth? I'm not protecting anybody. I haven't any more to say.
00:48:33All right young lady listen to me. This thing is going to explode wide open. If you've
00:48:37got nothing to hide you better start talking or maybe you are Mr. Phillips. No!
00:48:40Well then come on. Mr. Phillips called Marla Racoubian. He went to see her yesterday morning.
00:48:45Who's Marla Racoubian? She's a model. She and Mr. Phillips used to be quite friendly but he
00:48:49hadn't been seeing her for quite some time. Come on. The last couple of months he's been
00:48:52trying to locate her and finally learn where she lived yesterday morning. When he
00:48:55returned from scenery he was terribly upset and excited. That's when he had me put in
00:49:00the calls for you. When he couldn't reach you he went home. The last time I saw him alive.
00:49:04Give me Marla Racoubian's address. I don't think Mr. Phillips realized I was aware of
00:49:11his friendship with Marla Racoubian. Out of respect for him I never intended to tell
00:49:15anybody. I had no idea that she had anything to do with the trouble he was in.
00:49:19I admire your discretion Miss Foster. You know you must be pretty friendly with Stanley Miss
00:49:26Foster. He knew how desperately his brother tried to reach me yesterday and he wasn't even here at
00:49:30the time. And now you seem to know all about what happened in Mrs. Phillips apartment.
00:49:34Miss Racoubian? Yes. What do you want? Get out of here or I'll call the police. Go ahead call them.
00:49:50Going on a trip huh? Yes going away for the weekend. Sailing for Buenos Aires tomorrow some
00:49:56weekend. I'll send you a postcard now get out of here. Where you going with George Reynolds?
00:50:00I've never heard of him. I suppose you've never heard of Eugene Phillips either. Just who are you?
00:50:05What do you want? Never mind who I am. Where's Reynolds? I told you I don't know him. Now will
00:50:09you get out of here and leave me alone? So you never heard of George Reynolds huh? And don't
00:50:18try to tell me that this isn't him because I've seen him. If you think you can scare me you're
00:50:21crazy. Look I know that Phillips came here yesterday and right after he left he was pushed
00:50:25out of a six-story window. Pushed? Phillips committed suicide. Your playmate Reynolds
00:50:29murdered Phillips and then he went up to San Francisco to get me because I knew about a
00:50:33certain bill of sale. I don't know what you're talking about. You're in this right up to your
00:50:37pretty little neck. I'm not mixed up in anything. Get your hands up. Drop that picture on the couch.
00:50:42Turn around. Don't get any ideas because I'm not afraid to use this. Give me your wallet.
00:50:55Frank Bigelow. I know where's Reynolds. I don't know. I don't know where he is. Is that what you told
00:51:05Phillips yesterday? I told him exactly what I'm telling you. I haven't heard from him in months.
00:51:08Yeah? You're mighty careful of the picture of a man you haven't heard from in months. What does
00:51:12the race stand for? It was a pet name. Do you mind? Oh it sounds very cozy Miss Recoubian. You
00:51:18and Reynolds call each other pet names while you make a sucker out of Phillips. Phillips made the
00:51:21deal because he wanted it. Yeah? I'll bet you you weren't above using what it takes to help make
00:51:26him want it. Who's paying for this trip? I am. Really? A first-class trip to Buenos Aires on a
00:51:33model salary don't make me laugh. Since you and Reynolds aren't seeing each other anymore you
00:51:37don't mind if I keep this to you. If I were a man I'd punch your dirty face in. You know I really
00:51:45believe you would. Oh I almost forgot. Your tickets. Don't be surprised if I'm there to see you off.
00:52:16Angelo. Angelo! Oh Angelo. Do you remember taking this picture of a George Reynolds? I take so many
00:52:28pictures I can't remember them all. This gentleman is a friend of his and would like his address. We
00:52:31have no card on him. I don't think we ought to do that. He's willing to pay $20 for it. That's
00:52:37the paper we used last year. Of course you understand we usually don't give out the information about our
00:52:41clients. I know you're a couple of high-class fellas. Thank you. Revealing anything confidential
00:52:45is against the ethics of our establishment. That's right honesty is the best policy. Of course. But in
00:52:51your case he is much of your personal friend Mr. Reynolds. Thanks I knew you'd come through. Here
00:52:57it is. We don't have his address he must have called for the picture. But he could not be a
00:53:00very good friend of yours Mr. because his name is not George Reynolds. It isn't? Well what is it?
00:53:06It's Raymond Racoobian. Racoobian? What's the news about that? The picture signed Ray isn't it?
00:53:19Yeah. Yeah. Thanks.

00:56:04♪♪♪
00:56:14A big one. Are you all right? Can I get you anything? No, no thanks. Do you know this man? No. I don't think so. Are you sure you've never seen him? I'm quite sure. Does the name Raymond Racoobian mean anything to you?
00:56:33No, I've never heard of him. Why? He also uses the name George Reynolds. This is Reynolds? That's right. Well where can we find him? That's what I want to know. Tell me something, Halliday. You're the controller here. How come you didn't know about that bill of sale?
00:56:47Phillips made that deal before I came to work here. Yeah, but you still keep records, don't you? For some reason, which is none of my business, Phillips preferred to keep that among his personal papers. Now does that answer your question?
00:56:58You came in here today asking for some information that you needed, and I tried to be as cooperative as I could. But now you're beginning to annoy me. So get out before I throw you out.
00:57:12You know, you really frighten me.
00:57:27Well, it's about time you showed up, Dingo. Go ahead, Dave.
00:57:50Real cute, ain't you, Bigelow? Just real cute. Paula didn't lose much time getting a hold of you guys, did she? Shut up. Let's go, Bigelow. Look at him. He can't take it. Soft in the belly. You do that again and I'll kick your face out. Lay off, Chester. Cut it out. Shut up. Who asked you?
00:58:17They'll let him answer. The clerk might know he's in. Go ahead, Bigelow.
00:58:28Hello? Frank. Frank, why did you hang up on me? I've been trying to get you for hours. I'm sorry, Paula. I was in a hurry. Well, don't be in such a hurry this time. You didn't give me a chance to finish what I had to say.
00:58:41I wanted to tell you that McGowan was in, hollering his head off, because you didn't go over the books. Tell McGowan to get another audit. Sure. Sure, I'll just do that little thing and lose the best paying account we've got. Do as I tell you, Paula. Frank, are you drunk? Paula, how much we got in the bank? About $2,200. Draw it out tomorrow.
00:59:05Sure. Then what do we do? Skip town without paying our bills? Forget the bills. You know that coat you always wanted? Buy it. You are drunk. You know, if I didn't have such a good character, I'd be tempted to take advantage of your intoxicated state, Mr. Bigelow. I'm not drunk, Paula. Well, then don't tell me that one day away from me can affect you this way. Cut it short. Paula? Yes?
00:59:35I'm... I'm sorry I... I left you. I never realized how much I love you. But I know it now. Oh, Frank, Frank, darling, I love you too, so very much. Please come home. I miss you terribly.
00:59:55I said cut it short. I'd just love to let you have it, Bigelow. Let's go, Chester. This guy's kept us waiting long enough. Now, walk in front of me, Bigelow. And keep your mouth shut. If you so much as look cross-eyed at anybody, I'll blow the back of your skull out.
01:00:25This Bigelow's real cute. He wanted to get tough with Chester. He don't know Chester. Did you get the picture? Don't I always get what Mr. Majak sends me after? Majak? That's right. I'm the dealer who bought the iridium from Phillips.
01:00:49I get it. You have Rakubian unload stolen stuff on Phillips to help Amala here, and then you buy it back from him. Oh, you certainly made a sucker out of Phillips.
01:01:00What is it, Mr. Bigelow? Exactly what is on your mind? I'm looking for Raymond Rakubian. Why? Well, now, Amala here has told you everything else. I'm sure she must have told you that too.
01:01:12Oh, you don't expect me to believe this conversation. So, what is on your mind? I mean, underneath. You forced your way into my affairs, and now I want to know why.
01:01:25I just told you. I'm looking for Raymond Rakubian. Don't get cute. I'm just itching to work you over. He's soft in the belly. Can't take it.
01:01:35See what I tell you.
01:01:48You can't do that to Chester. I'm going to blow your guts out. Easy. Lay off Chester, not now.
01:01:57Look at him. He's so scared of Chester, he talked now. He's not afraid, Chester.
01:02:05You can tell from a man's eyes when he is afraid. Look at his eyes.
01:02:24I'm telling you, Majak, you better keep him away from me or he's really going to have to use that gun.
01:02:31Go away, Chester. Please.
01:02:35Do what I tell you, my boy. Please. And help Dave.
01:02:46Ah, you're in pain.
01:02:50He's an unfortunate boy. He's psychopathic.
01:02:56He's unhappy unless he gives pain. He likes to see blood.
01:03:00Come with me, Mr. Bigelow.
01:03:09Raymond Rakubian was my nephew. He could not possibly have tried to kill you. He's been dead five months.
01:03:22I'm afraid you have been sidetracked.
01:03:25I'm afraid you have been sidetracked.
01:03:29Provided it is true that somebody made an attempt on your life.
01:03:32Somebody made an attempt again today.
01:03:35I had no reason to kill you. Believe me.
01:03:38What do you mean you had no reason? I notarized a certain bill of sale.
01:03:41You notarized a bill of sale for Reynolds, not Rakubian.
01:03:45Not what I told you was true. I had no reason to kill you. That's a closet, Mr. Bigelow.
01:03:51And under other circumstances, you could go home now.
01:03:56But now you present a problem.
01:04:01You know too much and I am in danger.
01:04:04Chester! Suppose I were able to prove to you that I only want to find the person who tried to kill me.
01:04:09And I won't cause you any trouble.
01:04:11You know I can go to jail for ten years for this little business. Ten years!
01:04:16At my age, that's my life. That means my entire life.
01:04:19With my life, I do not take chances. I am sorry. Believe me.
01:04:23You want Joe to go with you?
01:04:25No. Just Bigelow and me.
01:04:28And baby makes three.
01:04:30Good, Major.
01:04:32Goodbye, Mr. Bigelow, and forgive me.
01:04:36Let's go, Bigelow.
01:04:39I guess you won't be there to see me off.
01:04:50You tried to make a fool out of me in front of Major.
01:04:53You shouldn't have done that, Bigelow. I don't like that.
01:04:59I'm going to enjoy this, Bigelow.
01:05:02I've done jobs like this before.
01:05:05I knocked off guys I could like.
01:05:09I'm going to enjoy this, Bigelow.
01:05:12I've done jobs like this before.
01:05:15I knocked off guys I could like.
01:05:18But I don't like you, Bigelow.
01:05:21I never liked that puss of yours from the minute I seen it.
01:05:28I'm going to enjoy this.
01:05:44You ain't scared yet, are you, Bigelow?
01:05:47But you'll be scared. Good scared.
01:05:50I think I'll give it to you in the belly.
01:05:53You don't like it in the belly?
01:06:01Good. Try it.
01:06:04I'd just love you to try it, Bigelow.
01:06:06Why don't you try it?
01:06:08Go ahead.
01:06:13Didn't have the nerve, did you, Bigelow?
01:06:16Yeah. I think I'll give it to you right in the belly.
01:06:32Takes longer when you get it in the belly.
01:06:35It's nice and slow.
01:06:37That's the way I want to see you go, Bigelow.
01:06:40Nice and slow.
01:06:45Nice and slow.
01:07:15Nice and slow.
01:07:46Help!
01:07:49Help!
01:07:53Help!
01:08:15Help!
01:08:43Frank!
01:08:47Frank!
01:08:53Frank, are you all right?
01:08:55Yes, I'm all right, Paula. But what are you doing here? How did you get here?
01:08:58Freddie Ross threw me down. I had to come. I had to see you.
01:09:01You shouldn't have come, Paula. You shouldn't have.
01:09:03What is it, Frank? You're in some kind of trouble. I know it.
01:09:06Look at you. You're beside your clothes. Look as if you've slept in them.
01:09:09Are you ill?
01:09:11You are. You're feverish.
01:09:13I'm all right, Paula, and I'm not in any trouble. Believe me.
01:09:14You're lying, Frank.
01:09:16Right after I spoke to you, I got a phone call from the San Francisco police.
01:09:18They asked if I knew where you were.
01:09:20You didn't tell them anything, did you?
01:09:22Of course not. It was the homicide detective who called.
01:09:26What is it, Frank?
01:09:28If you're in any kind of trouble, you certainly can trust me.
01:09:30Look, I'm not in any trouble with the police, Paula. Believe me.
01:09:32But you can't stay here. You've got to go back to Banning right away.
01:09:35No, I won't go, Frank. I won't. I'm staying here with you.
01:09:38Paula, it's better that you go back. Believe me.
01:09:40Why? What's this all about?
01:09:41What have you got to do with this Phillips and Reynolds?
01:09:46Phillips was murdered.
01:09:48Murdered?
01:09:50What could that possibly have to do with you?
01:09:52All you did was notarize a paper.
01:09:54You've notarized hundreds of papers.
01:09:56I know, I know. All I did was notarize one little paper.
01:09:58One little paper out of hundreds.
01:10:00Frank, you're frightening me.
01:10:02You don't even act like yourself.
01:10:04I know that you're in trouble, that something is wrong,
01:10:06that you're in serious trouble.
01:10:08You're frightening me, Frank.
01:10:09Oh, don't be frightened, Paula.
01:10:11Don't ever be frightened of anything again.
01:10:13Will you promise me that?
01:10:15I love you so much, darling.
01:10:17More than you seem able to understand.
01:10:19I never really knew happiness until I loved you.
01:10:22Sometimes when I used to be afraid that you weren't sure how you felt,
01:10:25I tried to hold back, but I couldn't.
01:10:27Losing you would have meant losing everything.
01:10:29There would have been nothing left.
01:10:31Don't, Paula, don't.
01:10:33Now I'm afraid again.
01:10:35Somehow I feel that I'm going to lose you,
01:10:37but there's nothing I can do about it.
01:10:39You're leaving me out of something.
01:10:41Tell me, Frank, what is it?
01:10:43Give me a chance to fight back.
01:10:45Just give me a chance, please.
01:10:47You do love me, don't you?
01:10:49Oh, yes, Paula, I love you.
01:10:51I never was more certain of anything in my life.
01:10:53I wasn't sure before.
01:10:55I was a little blind, I guess, but believe me, I'm sure now.
01:10:57Can you understand that, Paula?
01:10:59I understand.
01:11:01A man can be like that, Paula.
01:11:03Something has to happen.
01:11:05It can be a big thing or a little thing,
01:11:06and I love you, Paula.
01:11:08More than I ever thought it possible
01:11:10to love anyone in the world, I love you.
01:11:12Then why won't you tell me about this trouble you're in?
01:11:14Why won't you try to let me help you?
01:11:17You can't help me, Paula.
01:11:19You don't want my help.
01:11:21Oh, Paula, there's nothing you can do.
01:11:23Will you believe me?
01:11:25So will you please go home, please?
01:11:27No, Frank, I won't go.
01:11:29I know you're in trouble.
01:11:31I can't leave you like this.
01:11:33All right, Paula, look, wait for me
01:11:34in the lobby of the hotel,
01:11:36and I'll be back to you soon, I promise.
01:11:38You promise, you're sure?
01:11:40Yes, Paula, I promise.
01:11:42Is that a new outfit?
01:11:44Yes.
01:11:46Oh, it's beautiful.
01:11:55You'll come back to me, won't you, Frank?
01:11:57Yes, Paula, I'll come back, I promise.
01:11:59Please hurry, darling, I love you.
01:12:01I love you, Paula.
01:12:04Goodbye, Paula.
01:12:34Stanley here?
01:12:36You sure?
01:12:39All right, get in there.
01:12:41Now, get Stanley on the phone.
01:12:43Tell him to come over here right away.
01:12:45Use any excuse you want.
01:12:47What are you going to do?
01:12:49What was Stanley going to do
01:12:51when he used me for a clay pigeon today?
01:12:53I don't know what you're talking about.
01:12:55Don't act innocent with me.
01:12:57I fell for that once.
01:12:59I don't know what you mean.
01:13:01I told you everything you wanted to know this morning.
01:13:02Yeah, you told me just enough so I'd get sidetracked
01:13:04and wouldn't know that Stanley was the one I was after.
01:13:07Stanley.
01:13:09Oh, no.
01:13:11You and Stanley have been together on this from the start.
01:13:13Now, come on, get on that phone and call him.
01:13:15He'll let him know I'm here.
01:13:17Bring along.
01:13:28You've been sidetracked, all right.
01:13:29But it was the poor, bereaved little widow who did it.
01:13:32Miss Foster found this letter this afternoon.
01:13:34It's in my brother's desk at the office.
01:13:36It's postmarked two years ago.
01:13:38She wasn't exactly the kind of a letter
01:13:40that a married woman gets from a casual friend.
01:13:43I'm sure my brother wasn't aware
01:13:45that they were so well-acquainted
01:13:47when he hired Halliday.
01:13:50What's the matter with him?
01:13:52He hasn't felt right since dinner.
01:13:54What did he have dinner?
01:13:56At Mrs. Phillips' apartment.
01:13:57Halliday was there, too,
01:13:59and Stanley confronted them with that letter.
01:14:01Do you have anything to drink?
01:14:03Yes, why?
01:14:05How long ago?
01:14:07Half an hour ago, just before I came here.
01:14:09Miss Foster, get on the phone, call the emergency hospital.
01:14:11Have them get an ambulance over here right away.
01:14:13What?
01:14:15Tell them to prepare a stomach wash for luminous poisoning.
01:14:17Luminous poisoning?
01:14:19Come on, do it, I tell you.
01:14:21You may still have a chance to save his life.
01:14:23Go on.
01:14:28I found George Reynolds, Mrs. Phillips.
01:14:30He's been dead for five months.
01:14:32Then he didn't steal the bill of sale.
01:14:34No, he didn't.
01:14:36But you could have stolen it.
01:14:38How dare you?
01:14:40You knew who I was when I came here today.
01:14:42But you were surprised to see me alive, weren't you?
01:14:44But I'm not alive, Mrs. Phillips.
01:14:46Sure, I can stand here and talk to you.
01:14:48I can breathe and I can move.
01:14:50But I'm not alive.
01:14:52I'm dead.
01:14:54I'm dead.
01:14:55I can breathe and I can move.
01:14:57But I'm not alive.
01:14:59Because I did take that poison.
01:15:01And nothing can save me.
01:15:05What are you going to do?
01:15:07I kill you now, I have nothing to lose.
01:15:09No, no, you've got to listen to me.
01:15:11You've got to give me a chance.
01:15:13But I didn't have a chance.
01:15:15It was Holiday.
01:15:17Believe me, it was Holiday.
01:15:19He made me steal the bill of sale.
01:15:21He planned everything.
01:15:23What about this letter?
01:15:25Why did you want to kill me?
01:15:27Because you could have proved there was a bill of sale.
01:15:29That my husband had no reason to commit suicide.
01:15:31Holiday was desperate.
01:15:33After he killed my husband,
01:15:35he found out about the phone calls to you.
01:15:37He thought you spoke to him, that you knew enough to involve him.
01:15:52Where's Holiday?
01:15:53Where is he?
01:15:55He's in the office.
01:15:58This time you don't walk.
01:16:23I'm going to kill you.
01:16:54I'm going to kill you.
01:17:02I'll kill you.
01:17:23I'll kill you.
01:17:53I'll kill you.
01:18:23I'll kill you.
01:18:53I'll kill you.
01:19:11Come on, let's go.
01:19:14Come on, come on.
01:19:18Come on, let's go.
01:19:19Come on, let's go.
01:19:23Come on, let's go.
01:19:25Let's go.
01:19:49Let's go.
01:20:19I'll kill you.
01:20:21I'll kill you.
01:20:49I'll kill you.
01:21:20All I did was notarize a bill of sale.
01:21:24But that piece of paper could have proven
01:21:27that Phillips didn't commit suicide.
01:21:30It was murder.
01:21:32And that's why Holiday poisoned me.
01:21:43Would you?
01:21:45Would you?
01:21:55Paula.
01:22:10Paula Moore.
01:22:15Johnson, you go to the Allison Hotel.
01:22:17Find Paula Gibson.
01:22:18Don't tell her anything.
01:22:19I'll break it to her.
01:22:24How shall I make out the report on him, Captain?
01:22:28Better make it dead on arrival.
01:22:44Come on.
01:22:45Come on.
