"Crime of Passion" tells the story of Kathy Ferguson (Barbara Stanwyck), a fiercely independent advice columnist for a San Francisco newspaper. While covering a high-profile murder case, she meets and falls in love with Bill Doyle (Sterling Hayden), a Los Angeles police detective. 💔👮
Against her own ambitions and better judgment, Kathy leaves her promising journalism career behind to marry Bill and move into suburban life. However, the domestic role quickly stifles her, leading to a growing dissatisfaction with her new existence. Feeling trapped and overlooked, Kathy becomes consumed with securing Bill's promotion within the police department — at any cost. 🔥
As her ambitions spiral out of control, Kathy manipulates social situations and forms alliances with influential people, including the police chief, Tony Pope (played by Raymond Burr). When her schemes backfire, desperation leads Kathy down a dark path, culminating in a chilling crime of passion. 😱

00:05:29The End
00:05:59When we've found her, you'll hear about it. That's all.
00:06:03Just a minute. You have your work to do, we have ours.
00:06:08Your work should be raising a family, having dinner ready for your husband when he gets home.
00:06:12All right, all right, somebody ordered a cream cheese and a bagel, dear Mary Dana, I write to you from the heart of one woman to the heart of another.
00:06:27Now you are deserted.
00:06:57I want to say, I want to say, I want to say, I want to say, I want to say, let me stand by your side in your fight for justice and compassion in a world made by men and for men. Call me, Mary Dana, and we will face the world together. Call me. Call me. Call me. Call me. Call me. Call me. Call me.
00:07:18Call me. Call me. Call me. Call me. Call me. Call me. Call me. Call me. Call me. Call me. Call me. Call me. Call me. Call me. Call me. Call me. Call me. Call me. Call me. Call me. Call me.

00:07:48I do know.
00:07:49She called you?
00:07:50She did.
00:07:51Where is she?
00:07:52We've been reading those open letters of yours.
00:07:53Have you been reading them?
00:07:54Yes.
00:07:55All right.
00:07:56Where is she?
00:07:57Oh, I'm so glad you liked them.
00:07:58They worked, didn't they?
00:07:59You see, I felt that she was approached with sympathy.
00:08:00Miss Ferguson.
00:08:01Oh, I beg your pardon, Captain.
00:08:02You want to know where the Mary Dana woman can be found?
00:08:05Well, before I tell you that, there are one or two things we should agree upon.
00:08:10Miss Ferguson, Mary Dana is wanted for the murder of her husband.
00:08:15There is nothing to discuss, nothing to agree upon.
00:08:18You say you've talked to her.
00:08:19You say you know where she's at.
00:08:21You'll tell us and that'll be all.
00:08:26Make me.
00:08:27Oh, now, Miss Ferguson, you wouldn't want to interfere with our work.
00:08:30Never mind.
00:08:33Miss Ferguson, either you tell us what you know,
00:08:36or I'll ask for your arrest.
00:08:39Aiding and abetting a fugitive wanted for murder.
00:08:45You'll find the Dana woman at that address.
00:08:54I'll pick up a couple of local homicide men.
00:08:58You can stay here with her.
00:09:00I'm not through with her yet.
00:09:01Am I being detained, Captain?
00:09:03You could put it that way.
00:09:04But if you detain me, Captain,
00:09:06I won't be home in time to fix my husband's dinner.
00:09:09Miss Ferguson, about the captain, he gets excited sometimes.
00:09:16He didn't really mean any of that.
00:09:18You're free to leave anytime you want.
00:09:19I know, but you're going with me.
00:09:20Oh?
00:09:21Well, I wouldn't be much help in fixing dinner for your husband.
00:09:23No, but you can help bring the Dana woman in.
00:09:25I don't like your captain.
00:09:26I gave him the address of an old hook and eye shot.
00:09:29By the time he gets back, you'll have the Dana woman booked, charged,
00:09:32wrapped up, ready for the trip back to Los Angeles.
00:09:34Give me homicide, please.
00:09:35Oh, you don't need any help.
00:09:37I'll go in first.
00:09:38You make the arrest.
00:09:39Might mean a promotion for you when you get home.
00:09:41I want to talk to Captain Alitas.
00:09:43This is Doyle from L.A.
00:09:44Tell him to call me when he comes in.
00:09:45Hey, it's important.
00:09:46Yeah.
00:09:48Well, that's a cute trick.
00:09:50I toss an arrest right into your hat and...
00:09:52Yes, that's very nice of you, Miss Ferguson,
00:09:54but you don't seem to understand.
00:09:55Alitas and me, we're kind of a team.
00:09:57We were sent here to do a job together,
00:09:59and that's the way it's going to be.
00:10:00Oh.
00:10:01Well, you won't get very far that way.
00:10:03Well, maybe I won't, but I just try to do my job the best way I can.
00:10:06Try not to poke the other fellow in the eye with my elbow while I'm doing it.
00:10:09Oh, go ahead. This is the kind of the Captain week.
00:10:14Hello, uh, Charlie.
00:10:15Say, Charlie, there's been a little bit of a mix-up.
00:10:17You better get yourself back here right away.
00:10:18Yeah.
00:10:19Yeah.
00:10:20Tell me, uh, who handled you for helping little old ladies across the street?
00:10:31Well, maybe you could manage the job.
00:10:33If your, uh, husband wouldn't object.
00:10:37Not if we let him arrange it with your wife first.
00:10:40There's no problem.
00:10:42Well, in that case, maybe we'd better arrange these things ourselves.
00:10:52Have dinner with me tonight?
00:10:55Yes.
00:10:59No, Bill, I don't think I ever will get married.
00:11:11Do you mind breaking that down a little for me?
00:11:13Why?
00:11:16I guess I'm just curious, that's all.
00:11:19The police mind at work?
00:11:21No.
00:11:22No, the police mind is off duty until I meet the leaders at the airport.
00:11:25No, no.
00:11:26The policeman may be off duty.
00:11:28But never the police mind.
00:11:32You know, I still don't get it.
00:11:35You tell me now.
00:11:36What better ambition than to find a happy marriage?
00:11:40Have children and a home?
00:11:42Propaganda, not for me.
00:11:45For marriage, I read life sentence.
00:11:47For home life, I read TV nights, beer in the fridge,
00:11:50second mortgage.
00:11:51Uh-uh, not for me.
00:11:54For me, life has to be something more than that.
00:12:03Fishing trawler going out to sea.
00:12:07Saying farewell.
00:12:12A ship, a man, a woman.
00:12:16All farewells.
00:12:21But it's...
00:12:24It's on its way.
00:12:28Yeah, and so are you, I guess.
00:12:33And the way you turned that Dana woman up.
00:12:35Front page.
00:12:37Looks like you can write your own ticket from here on in.
00:12:40For anything you wish.
00:12:42Yes, it does.
00:12:45Doesn't it?
00:12:51Flight 721 from Seattle now arriving at gate 4.
00:13:06Are you feeling sorry for her?
00:13:08I've always felt sorry for her.
00:13:10I feel sorry for all people who make fools of themselves.
00:13:12I should think that dealing three bullets to your husband when he isn't looking is more than making fool of yourself.
00:13:17She just didn't use her brains?
00:13:19Kathy, I've been in police work a long time.
00:13:22Murder always starts down in here, the part that has nothing to do with her.
00:13:25American Airlines, flight 892 for Los Angeles, now boarding at gate 7.
00:13:30All aboard, please.
00:13:31Black Mariah's special.
00:13:33Black Mariah's special.
00:13:41Bye, Bill.
00:13:46I'm glad I met you. I like you.
00:13:48I don't think you'll get very far, but...
00:13:51You're a nice guy.
00:13:54And I like you.
00:13:55Tell me, Bill, how many elbows have you had poked in your eye?
00:14:10Kathy?
00:14:12Passenger John Dunbar.
00:14:15Passenger John Dunbar.
00:14:17Remember me?
00:14:18We came to pick up a package.
00:14:20American Airlines ticket desk.
00:14:21You sure you won't change your mind?
00:14:26Not a chance.
00:14:28We can match the New York deal?
00:14:29All you can offer is money.
00:14:31Goodbye, Mr. Nowles. I think I'll remember you.
00:14:33Well, I guess the readers miss you anyway.
00:14:35Oh, that's all right.
00:14:36Just use some of that cornball from last month.
00:14:38Nobody will know the difference.
00:14:40Bye.
00:14:48He's got to be working for McLean in New York.
00:14:50Uh-huh.
00:14:51I know him well.
00:14:52Must be a great newspaper man.
00:14:53Sure he is.
00:14:54Come and drop dead.
00:14:57You happy, kid?
00:14:58Delirious.
00:14:59You don't look so happy, kid.
00:15:00I'm fighting it.
00:15:01All week long, like you've been hearing voices.
00:15:03Chloe, Chloe...
00:15:05You know what I think, kid?
00:15:06Don't think so much, kid. It's bad for your work.
00:15:10She's going to miss you.
00:15:12Your desk.
00:15:15Do me a favor, kid. Use it after I leave.
00:15:18Sure.
00:15:19Thanks, Bill.
00:15:20Bill.
00:15:22Name's Sam, remember?
00:15:27Hello?
00:15:29Miss Ferguson?
00:15:30Yes?
00:15:31Dr. Angela's calling. One moment, please.
00:15:34Kathy? This is...
00:15:36Yes, uh...
00:15:38Yes, I know... I know.
00:15:39Well, how are you?
00:15:40Oh, fine. How are you?
00:15:42Fine. How are you?
00:15:43Fine.
00:15:45Well, that's good.

00:15:48Dropped the phone.
00:15:49Dropped the phone.
00:15:50Well, there we are.
00:15:51Oh.

00:15:53I read you're going to New York.

00:15:59Tonight?
00:16:00Well...
00:16:01Well, I, uh...
00:16:03I've called to wish you luck and...
00:16:06Oh, thanks, Bill.
00:16:07I thought maybe you could sort of, uh...
00:16:09Stop over in Los Angeles.
00:16:11A couple of hours.
00:16:12Have dinner with me.
00:16:13You think maybe you could?
00:16:14Oh, Bill, I would love to.
00:16:16Good, good.
00:16:17I'll meet you at...
00:16:18But, but I, I'm taking the non-stop from here.
00:16:20Listen.
00:16:21I'll call the airliner, reroute your ticket.
00:16:25Oh, uh...
00:16:26Could you do...
00:16:27I, I'm supposed to leave at six o'clock and...
00:16:29Ah, leave it to me, Kathy.
00:16:30I'm not a cop for nothing.
00:16:33Oh, Bill.
00:16:46Uh...
00:16:47Ah, uh...
00:16:48Um...
00:16:49Uh...

00:17:28Oh, thanks.
00:17:29It's the best pinch you've made this year.
00:17:30I wish you every happiness, my dear.
00:17:32And whenever you have your little problems,
00:17:34I want you to feel that I'm your friend.
00:17:36I feel it already.
00:17:45I don't know.
00:18:15Bill, what do you think of the neighborhood?
00:18:18Right now, I'm not thinking about the neighborhood.
00:18:33Oh, Mr. Doyle.
00:18:35Kathy, this is Mrs. London.
00:18:37She comes in once a week.
00:18:39How do you do, Mrs. London?
00:18:40How do you do, Mrs. Doyle?
00:18:41I wanted to be finished before you...
00:18:44but I can come back next week.
00:18:46Oh, that's all right, Mrs. London.

00:18:59They wanted you to call them back.
00:19:01Oh, well,
00:19:01well, uh, you forgot to give me the message.
00:19:04I forgot to give you the message.
00:19:06That's right.
00:19:12Well,
00:19:13thank you for everything, Mrs. London.
00:19:15Yes, ma'am.

00:19:45your age,
00:19:45where you work,
00:19:45and what you do,
00:19:46but I don't know you.
00:19:47What do you dream about?
00:19:48What are your favorite colors?
00:19:50What music do you like?
00:19:51What kind of a little boy were you,
00:19:52and how many times have you been in love?
00:19:55No, no, no,
00:19:56don't answer that.
00:19:57I don't want to know.
00:19:59Oh, Bill,
00:20:00I do love you.
00:20:02I never thought I...
00:20:04Here I am
00:20:06with only one ambition left,
00:20:08to make you happy.
00:20:10And I will, darling,
00:20:11I will.

00:20:49I don't think I'll need very much,
00:20:52for a while.
00:20:54Thank you very much.
00:21:14Down here is the headquarters desk.
00:21:21Hi.
00:21:21Hi, Bill.
00:21:22We didn't go in there.
00:21:24Well,
00:21:24that's Inspector Polk's office.
00:21:26He's in charge of what's called the Special Detective Bureau.
00:21:28That takes in a lot of divisions.
00:21:30He's the,
00:21:30the boss man.
00:21:31Oh.
00:21:35Now,
00:21:35the headquarters desk is the 24-hour nerve center.
00:21:38For example,
00:21:39homicide is only on call until 1 a.m.,
00:21:41but through the desk wire,
00:21:42we work 24 hours a day.
00:21:44Oh.
00:21:44Oh,
00:21:47I'm sorry, dear.

00:22:08Charlie?
00:22:08Mm-hmm.
00:22:08Oh,

00:22:20That's why he's so well-liked.
00:22:21Well-liked?
00:22:22Why the men adore him.
00:22:23And believe me,
00:22:24that speaks well for the wife.

00:22:43the pension.
00:22:44By the way,
00:22:44Charlie,
00:22:45heard anything new about changes in the pension rules?
00:22:47Nothing serious.
00:22:47Rates staying the same?
00:22:48Up 2%,
00:22:49maybe,
00:22:49but we'll still stay 40% of full salary after 20 years,
00:22:5250% after 25.
00:22:54Well,
00:22:54I'll do my 20 and take my 40.
00:22:56Mathematically,
00:22:56you're better off doing the 25.
00:22:57You figure I'm doing the 25?
00:22:59Yeah,
00:22:59only got 15 to go.
00:23:00I think Bill's smart.
00:23:01Yeah,
00:23:02I'd sooner spend the extra five years in the greens making birdies.
00:23:04It's worth the 10%.
00:23:05It's none of my business,
00:23:06but I think you're wrong.
00:23:08Art,
00:23:08you're wrong.
00:23:08Charlie's right.
00:23:09Of course,
00:23:09Charlie's right.
00:23:10He's right,
00:23:11Art.
00:23:11You know Charlie's right.
00:23:12Of course,
00:23:12Charlie is right.
00:23:14And that always speaks so well for the wife,
00:23:15doesn't it?
00:23:16You know that old saying,
00:23:17the apple never falls far from the tree.
00:23:33Hi,
00:23:33darling.
00:23:34I'm sorry,
00:23:34Angel.
00:23:35Look at you.
00:23:36Remember that Cayman squeal I told you about?
00:23:38Well,
00:23:38I figured it was an inside job,
00:23:40so I fixed a nice,
00:23:41quiet plan.
00:23:42It exploded this morning.
00:23:43Could we tell us?
00:23:43Right down the line.
00:23:44You'll read about it tonight.
00:23:45Oh,
00:23:45my hero.
00:23:46Well,
00:23:47stop looking so pleased with yourself.
00:23:48Let's have some lunch.
00:23:50Sorry,
00:23:50Mrs. Doyle.
00:23:51Now what?
00:23:52Alitas.
00:23:52He's steaming the Cayman job.
00:23:54Something blow up?
00:23:55Only Charlie.
00:23:56Just got a call from Inspector Pope
00:23:57for a full report on the squeal.
00:23:59He doesn't know what it's all about.
00:24:00He stalled Pope.
00:24:01He's screaming for you.
00:24:03Why don't you in his office,
00:24:04Prano,
00:24:05for a rundown?
00:24:06It just broke this morning.
00:24:07I'll finish the paperwork after lunch.
00:24:09You know Alitas,
00:24:10Bill.
00:24:11I'd come now if I were you.
00:24:14It's all right,
00:24:14darling.
00:24:14I like cream cheese and olives.
00:24:30I'm getting fat.
00:24:31Pass.
00:24:32I'll take three.
00:24:33Well,
00:24:34I'd better get in shape
00:24:35for Alice Pope's anniversary dinner.
00:24:36Alice Pope?
00:24:37She is such a lovely woman.
00:24:39Oh,
00:24:39my,
00:24:40yes.
00:24:40Lovely woman.
00:24:41No heirs.
00:24:43Inspector's wife and all that.
00:24:44No heirs.
00:24:45One.
00:24:45The captain takes one.
00:24:47I run.
00:24:48Give me one.
00:24:49Hmm,
00:24:49that cream cheese and olives
00:24:50does look good.
00:24:51I'm getting hippie.
00:24:53Make it the last hand, boys.
00:24:54Yes,
00:24:54make it the last hand, boys.
00:24:56I raise.
00:24:57Two wrists for me.
00:24:59Tens and sevens.
00:25:00Hmm,
00:25:00doesn't that cream cheese and olives
00:25:01look good, Sarah?
00:25:02Oh,
00:25:03my,
00:25:03yes.
00:25:04Not enough.
00:25:05Made the flush.
00:25:06Clubs.
00:25:07Coffee's done,
00:25:07fellas.
00:25:08What's more around mind,
00:25:10Mrs. Doyle?
00:25:10Well,
00:25:10the coffee will get cold.
00:25:12It won't take long.
00:25:13Your husband just did me in
00:25:13for a big one.
00:25:14I want a little revenge.
00:25:15Why don't we have the coffee first
00:25:17and then you can come back?
00:25:18Look,
00:25:18Kathy,
00:25:19it'll only take a few minutes.
00:25:21My deal,
00:25:22Bill.
00:25:22Bill thinks it'll be a lot easier
00:25:23to win when you deal.
00:25:25Yeah,
00:25:25that's right.
00:25:27The captain's fond of him,
00:25:28you know.
00:25:28He's a wonderful man.
00:25:31I,
00:25:31uh,
00:25:31think I will take another
00:25:33cream cheese and olive.
00:25:34Well,
00:25:35of course,
00:25:35the captain and I
00:25:36have always been very friendly
00:25:37with Tony and Alice.
00:25:38Oh,
00:25:39that's Inspector and Mrs. Pope,
00:25:41you know.
00:25:41Open.
00:25:42Wasn't that a wonderful story
00:25:43in the news about Charlie
00:25:45and Inspector Pope?
00:25:46Story?
00:25:47Well,
00:25:47the one where the inspector
00:25:48praised Charlie
00:25:49for his wonderful work
00:25:50in the Cayman job.
00:25:51Oh,
00:25:51yes.
00:25:52So,
00:25:53dealer takes three.
00:25:55Inspector thinks the world
00:25:55of Charlie.
00:25:56You can see that.
00:25:57Well,
00:25:57why not?
00:25:58He's a brilliant man.
00:25:59Brilliant.
00:25:59Oh,
00:26:00my,
00:26:00yes.
00:26:00Your bet,
00:26:01Bill.
00:26:02Well,
00:26:03as I was saying,
00:26:04we always have been
00:26:05very friendly with the Popes,
00:26:06but I must confess,
00:26:08I was truly surprised
00:26:09when we got the mailed invitation
00:26:11to their home
00:26:12for their anniversary dinner.
00:26:13Oh,
00:26:14sure,
00:26:15it'll be wonderful.
00:26:16Commissioner Warren's
00:26:17going to be there.
00:26:18I heard the mayor
00:26:19will be there.
00:26:20Do you know
00:26:20that the captain
00:26:21insisted that I have
00:26:22a new dress made
00:26:23for the affair?
00:26:24I'll raise.
00:26:24Who's making the dress
00:26:25for you, Sarah?
00:26:26Oh,
00:26:26I have a little woman.
00:26:27Hmm,
00:26:27they're always the best.
00:26:29You have to watch them
00:26:30every minute of the way,
00:26:31though.
00:26:31Tell them exactly
00:26:32what you want
00:26:32and how to do it.
00:26:33Sign the whole thing yourself.
00:26:34How many did you draw?
00:26:35One.
00:26:36Not enough.
00:26:37Like this.
00:26:38Scoop neck,
00:26:39beaded top,
00:26:40iridescent beads,
00:26:41very petite,
00:26:42like little tiny flowers
00:26:43on chiffon.
00:26:44Chiffon?
00:26:45Label de chiffon.
00:26:46That bad.
00:26:46Home of tappenum.
00:26:47Absolutely stunning.
00:26:48Just done.
00:26:49Oh, my ass.
00:26:50How many did you draw?
00:26:51Cream cheese and olive.
00:26:51Iridescent beads.
00:26:52I guess that.
00:26:53Oh, my ass.
00:26:54Beaded top.
00:26:55Just done.
00:26:56Oh, my ass.
00:26:56Oh, my ass.
00:26:58Excuse me,
00:26:59I'm sick.
00:27:18Well?
00:27:22I'm sick.
00:27:26I'm sick.
00:27:56I didn't hear you get up.
00:28:05You feeling better?
00:28:06Yes.
00:28:08Can I get you something?
00:28:09No.
00:28:10Glass of milk?
00:28:11No, thanks.
00:28:12It might help you sleep.
00:28:16What's the matter, Angel?
00:28:17Please,
00:28:18don't call me Angel.
00:28:19I loathe it.
00:28:20Well,
00:28:21is there anything that...
00:28:23are you sure you're all right?
00:28:25Stop talking down to me
00:28:26as though I were an idiot child.
00:28:27Of course, I'm all right.
00:28:29Oh, easy now.
00:28:30Maybe it isn't as bad as all that.
00:28:32It's worse.
00:28:34It's worse than that.
00:28:35I can't stand another night of it.
00:28:39Not another minute.
00:28:42Sarah, elitist, and the captain.
00:28:45Iridescent beads and lavender chiffon.
00:28:48The inspector and Mrs. Pope.
00:28:50That's Tony and Alice, you know.
00:28:52Oh, Sarah, you will look stunning.
00:28:54Oh, Sarah, the men adore the captain.
00:28:57Oh, Sarah, the captain
00:28:58is such a brilliant man.
00:29:01Well, I despise them.
00:29:03I despise all the trawlers around them.
00:29:05I won't be one
00:29:06and I won't let my husband be one.
00:29:08Is this what you have to look forward to?
00:29:10This mediocrity?
00:29:11This waiting to be wrapped away
00:29:12in more flows of a pension?
00:29:14Two percent up and two percent down?
00:29:16Don't you have any vision?
00:29:18Don't you want to be...
00:29:19Charlie, don't.
00:29:19Don't.
00:29:20All I want,
00:29:21nothing else,
00:29:22is to make you happy.
00:29:23Oh, Bill, oh, Bill.
00:29:29I am happy.
00:29:33Maybe if...
00:29:34if I didn't love you so much,
00:29:37I'd be happier, but...
00:29:40I want you to be somebody.
00:29:43Not for my sake,
00:29:44but for yours, for yours.
00:29:45Kathy.
00:29:46Kathy, you listen to me
00:29:48and try to understand.
00:29:50I love you, Kathy.
00:29:51All these jobs, positions, rating,
00:29:54it's all nothing.
00:29:55I do this because it gives us a living.
00:29:57Because it makes it possible
00:29:58for us to live in peace and security.
00:30:00Because it makes it possible
00:30:01for us to be together.
00:30:02That's what's important.
00:30:03That's all that matters.
00:30:04Oh, gosh.
00:30:34Oh, my God.
00:31:04Oh, my God.
00:31:34Oh, my God.
00:32:04Oh, my God.
00:32:35Oh, how awful.
00:32:37You'll have to be towed in.
00:32:38Oh, that's all right.
00:32:39I'm just grateful I didn't hit you.
00:32:41My house is right here on the corner if you'd like to use the telephone.
00:32:43Oh, but that would be very kind of you.
00:32:45I'm supposed to meet my husband for lunch.
00:32:47Oh, of course, but I'd be happy to drive you to him.
00:32:49Oh, no, that would be too much of an imposition.
00:32:51I'm to meet him downtown Los Angeles, police headquarters.
00:32:53Police headquarters?
00:32:54Yes, he's a detective in the Central Division, Lieutenant William Doyle.
00:32:58Well, now, this is indeed a strange coincidence.
00:33:01I'm Mrs. Anthony Pope.
00:33:02My husband is inspector of that division.
00:33:04Oh, it is a small world after all.
00:33:09Well, this is one accident.
00:33:10We won't have to worry about reporting to the police.
00:33:12They'll hear about it soon enough.
00:33:14Oh, that's true.
00:33:15Well, come on.
00:33:16Come with me.
00:33:17Oh, you must be really shaken up on someone.
00:33:19No, it's my own fault.
00:33:20How's anybody to blame?
00:33:22Oh, dear.
00:33:23You're in shock.
00:33:23Let me help.
00:33:25And then she said,
00:33:26I don't think we'll have to report this accident to the police.
00:33:29They'll learn about it soon enough.
00:33:30Is that what I said?
00:33:31I thought it was very amusing.
00:33:32Very funny.
00:33:33I must have been in shock.
00:33:34Very funny.
00:33:35Times like that, we're never really aware of what we're saying or doing.
00:33:38Okay.
00:33:38Here's your drink, this door.
00:33:39Well, I always drive very carefully.
00:33:41Actually, the first thing I can clearly remember
00:33:43is sitting here with Mrs. Pope and...
00:33:44Alice.
00:33:45With Alice.
00:33:46I think driving's a great responsibility, don't you?
00:33:48And getting Bill on the phone.
00:33:49You know that I've been driving for 20 years now
00:33:51and I've never had an accident.
00:33:53And not one.
00:33:54Maybe a few near misses,
00:33:56but nothing that was ever really my fault.
00:33:58Never.
00:33:58Well, you mustn't be discouraged, Sarah.
00:34:00You must keep on trying.
00:34:01And I got Bill on the phone
00:34:02and I said, Bill, I can't meet you for lunch because...
00:34:05No, dear.
00:34:05You said, Bill, you better go right out and get your lunch
00:34:08because I've just driven up Mrs. Pope's telephone Pope.
00:34:15Well, dinner, everybody.
00:34:17Darling, finish your drink and bring Kathy in.
00:34:27You really had a very narrow escape, you know.
00:34:31You might have been seriously injured.
00:34:34It's my own fault.
00:34:35I cut the corner instead of making a proper turn.
00:34:37Well, that happens.
00:34:40Especially if you're trying to cut corners.
00:34:42You were supposed to meet your husband for lunch?
00:34:44Mm-hmm.
00:34:46I understand you live in the valley, Mrs. Doyle.
00:34:48And so, what was I doing on the other side of town in Westwood?
00:34:55Isn't that the next question?
00:34:56No, it's not.
00:34:58I think I'll save that question for another time.
00:35:02Time, perhaps, when I might really need it.
00:35:05By that time, Inspector,
00:35:07I should have a very satisfactory answer.
00:35:11I'm sure you will.
00:35:12And frankly, Kathy,
00:35:24for some time now, I...
00:35:26I haven't been feeling too well, so...
00:35:28What's wrong?
00:35:29Oh, nothing serious.
00:35:31Just...
00:35:31Fatigue, I guess.
00:35:34Anyway, Tony and I decided that for his birthday,
00:35:36we'd spend a quiet weekend at Palm Springs.
00:35:39Just the two of us.
00:35:40Boy, you ought to stay at least a week.
00:35:41The rest would be good for both of you.
00:35:43If only I could persuade Tony.
00:35:45Well, you know, if you go just for the weekend,
00:35:48Tony will want to be back at the office on Monday, but...
00:35:51I have an idea.
00:35:53Why don't you give Tony a birthday party on Saturday night?
00:35:56A party?
00:35:57And then insist he drive to Palm Springs on Sunday.
00:36:00I see.
00:36:01Then he might stay.
00:36:02Do you really think...
00:36:03Ouch.
00:36:05Do you really think he might?
00:36:06Well, you know that.
00:36:07All men are like little boys at a birthday party,
00:36:09especially a surprise.
00:36:11And he'll enjoy having his friends around him on that night,
00:36:13and he won't be able to refuse you anything you ask.
00:36:15Oh, I wonder if he would agree to that.
00:36:17You leave everything to me.
00:36:19Just pretend you're going to Palm Springs.
00:36:21And then that way, it will really be a surprise.
00:36:24Yes.
00:36:24I could make up a guest list.
00:36:26You just leave everything to me.
00:36:29Mrs. Warren?
00:36:33Hello.
00:36:33This is Kathy Doyle.
00:36:35Doyle.
00:36:35How are you?
00:36:36Good.
00:36:36You?
00:36:36Fine, thank you.
00:36:38Alice Pope and I are giving the inspector a surprise birthday party Saturday night.
00:36:42Their place?
00:36:43Yes, at home.
00:36:44And Alice was wondering if you and the commissioner could...
00:36:46Saturday night?
00:36:47Yes, we'd love to come.
00:36:48Oh, that would be wonderful.
00:36:50Tell Alice.
00:36:50Yes.
00:36:51Yes, I'll tell her.
00:36:52Thank you so much.
00:36:53Good-bye.
00:37:01Hello?
00:37:02Hello, Kathy.
00:37:03And this is Sarah Ledis.
00:37:05Oh, hello, Sarah.
00:37:06I've been calling your number for over an hour now, but your line's been so busy and...
00:37:10Well, I had a few calls to make.
00:37:13Well, the captain suggested that we might drive to Palm Springs together on Friday.
00:37:17You know, use only one car.
00:37:22Oh?
00:37:22Oh, you're going to Palm Springs?
00:37:25Oh, why, of course.
00:37:27It's Saturday, but...
00:37:29Oh, I thought you...
00:37:32You might have heard that the captain decided we'd spend the weekend on the desert.
00:37:37No.
00:37:38Well, he's been feeling a little tired lately, and...
00:37:42Kathy, you haven't heard anything about going to Palm Springs?
00:37:47No, but, uh, we couldn't go.
00:37:50As a matter of fact, I was trying to get you on the phone to see if you were free over the weekend.
00:37:55Are you sure you won't change your plan?
00:38:01No.
00:38:02No, I don't want to disappoint the captain.
00:38:05Well, goodbye, Kathy.
00:38:07Goodbye, Sarah.
00:38:09And have a nice weekend.
00:38:20I just don't understand what could have happened to Sarah and Charlie.
00:38:25Well, when I talked to Sarah, she said she couldn't change her plans for the weekend.
00:38:28She might at least have called me.
00:38:30I think I ought to speak to her.
00:38:32Oh, I wouldn't do that, Alice.
00:38:33It might embarrass.
00:38:34I suppose it would.
00:38:36Alice, a wonderful party.
00:38:37Everything's just perfect.
00:38:38Well, I'm afraid I can't take any of the vows.
00:38:40They all belong to Kathy.
00:38:41Oh, well.
00:38:42Well, if I should ever be rash enough to admit to another birthday, Mrs. Doyle, I'll have you arrange the party for me.
00:38:48Even if I must get a warrant to do it.
00:38:50Bill.
00:38:51Bill.
00:38:53Darling, the commissioner threatens me with a warrant to arrange a party for him.
00:38:57And I wouldn't put a pasture to make my own husband serve it.
00:39:00Well, I'm a police officer, ma'am.
00:39:02If the commissioner orders me to make an arrest, I guess I'll have to do it.
00:39:06Excuse me.
00:39:07I think I need a lawyer.
00:39:10You're in Central Division, Doyle?
00:39:12That's right.
00:39:12I'll have you for a warrant.
00:39:31For what?
00:39:32For the party.
00:39:33Oh, that was Alice's idea.
00:39:35Better idea than Palm Springs.
00:39:38Better idea for your friends.
00:39:39They can be with you.
00:39:40But, not all of them.
00:39:51Tell me, where'd you meet Doyle?
00:39:53San Francisco, the Dana case.
00:39:55Oh, yes, I remember that.
00:39:57You were the newspaper woman?
00:39:58Yes.
00:39:59Smart piece of work.
00:40:00You, uh, doing anything now?
00:40:05Only what every other wife does.
00:40:07No, not you.
00:40:08Not a woman like you.
00:40:11There must be something more.
00:40:12I used to think so, too.
00:40:15Until I met Bill.
00:40:17I'm stubborn.
00:40:18I can't buy that.
00:40:19Why not?
00:40:20Why isn't it enough for me now just to be a...
00:40:22Yes.
00:40:22I know you love your husband.
00:40:25But whatever it was that drove you along in your newspaper work, whipped you into doing the things you did.
00:40:30You were you, then.
00:40:31You're the same you now.
00:40:33That you isn't going to make a very easy settlement with life.
00:40:35Well, I don't know.
00:40:37What else has life got to offer in the final settlement?
00:40:41Maybe the answer might be found in a file I keep in my office.
00:40:44Strange offenses committed by seemingly normal people.
00:40:48All of them searching for an answer.
00:40:50I'd like to see that file.
00:40:53I'd be very happy to show it to you.
00:40:56Thank you, Inspector.
00:41:04Most of them seem to be women.
00:41:05Maybe because women reason with life only just so far.
00:41:12Frustration can lead them quickly to violence.
00:41:15I agree.
00:41:16Right now, frustration is threatening to lead me to violence.
00:41:19Ever since I've come in this room, I've been dying to ask you about that picture.
00:41:23May I see it?
00:41:28It's taken 18 years ago.
00:41:32You've changed.
00:41:34A lot.
00:41:35And not only on the outside.
00:41:41What were you like, then?
00:41:46I don't even know what I'm like now.
00:41:48Oh, no.
00:41:49No, not you.
00:41:51You knew what you were then.
00:41:53You know what you are now.
00:41:54You know yourself.
00:41:55And you know everything there is to know about people.
00:42:02Yes, there are people like us.
00:42:07You once told me I'm the same woman now that I was in San Francisco.
00:42:17Yes.
00:42:18Well, I have a confession to me.
00:42:20I've begun to look for an escape.
00:42:24Hours of free time.
00:42:26Going through these files with you.
00:42:28From time to time, I find interesting cases.
00:42:32I'd like to talk to you about them.
00:42:37From time to time.
00:42:38And I don't know what's going to do to Charlie lately.
00:42:42He chews me out every chance he gets.
00:42:45It's like tonight.
00:42:46Simple pitch, but back of the office where he rips me up and down in front of the boys, too.
00:42:51Where did I lay my brains?
00:42:52And don't I even know enough not to get in the way of the evidence that maybe I'm getting too big for my britches?
00:42:56So, well, I just stood there and took it.
00:43:02Phil.
00:43:03Yeah?
00:43:04I want you to quit.
00:43:05Quit what?
00:43:07I want you to quit the department.
00:43:11I don't understand, Kathy.
00:43:13I want your work to be less demanding, quieter duties.
00:43:15And we can have that if you go into the Beverly Hills Police.
00:43:18There's no problem for you to join the Beverly Hills Department.
00:43:21Oh, no, but why?
00:43:22Because it's quieter there.
00:43:24No crimes, homicide, violence.
00:43:27Oh, yeah, but, Kathy, do you realize what quitting the department would mean?
00:43:30I've put in 10 years in Los Angeles.
00:43:33I've got something that only years can buy, seniority.
00:43:36If I go to Beverly, why, it would mean starting all over again.
00:43:40But I can't take this anymore.
00:43:41I go crazy every time you're called out on an emergency.
00:43:44You know I can take care of myself.
00:43:46Until the one time your luck runs out.
00:43:49Oh, darling, darling, I want you with me more.
00:43:52And we can have that if you go into Beverly.
00:43:54Oh, darling, I didn't realize, are you?
00:44:00Sure, sure.
00:44:02It's not that important, but it means this much to you.
00:44:05Oh, Bill.
00:44:07Never mind.
00:44:08Maybe it's just nerves.
00:44:10No, no, I'll put in for my resignation in the morning.
00:44:13Like you say.
00:44:14No problem for me to make the Beverly Hills Police.
00:44:16I don't want to do anything to make you unhappy.
00:44:22I love you so much.
00:44:26The only way you can make me unhappy is to stop loving me like me.
00:44:29You know, Kathy, there's something going on that I don't understand.
00:44:55And I never thought Inspector Pope took such an interest in me.
00:44:58What happened?
00:44:59All about the resignation.
00:45:00He wants us to think it over.
00:45:02Why me?
00:45:04He said he'd been thinking of making some changes in Central Division.
00:45:07What kind of changes?
00:45:08He didn't say, but something about my working closer with him.
00:45:12I told him that my mind was already made up, but that I'd talk it over with you.
00:45:17He said to tell you that he personally asked that we reconsider.
00:45:21Oh, darling, I've been selfish. Horribly selfish.
00:45:24Tony Pope likes you, is interested in you, and you'll be happy working with him.
00:45:29And that's all that matters.
00:45:31Are you sure it's all right?
00:45:34Oh, yes, darling. Very sure.
00:45:54Home is the traveler.
00:46:01Hello, darling.
00:46:04Hi, home is the traveller.
00:46:16Hello, darling.
00:46:18What's wrong?
00:46:21Nothing.
00:46:22You don't look quite right.
00:46:24Oh, just a little headache, that's all.
00:46:26Something worrying you?
00:46:27No, no.
00:46:28Hungry?
00:46:29No, maybe some ham and eggs, huh?
00:46:31You get comfortable, I'll fix them.
00:46:33Everything go all right in Phoenix?
00:46:39Yeah, routine.
00:46:40Drove all the way in without stopping.
00:46:42I wanted to get home.
00:46:44You know, since I've been working for Pope,
00:46:46I've been more of a traveling salesman than a police officer.
00:46:49Work everywhere but L.A.
00:46:51You realize that in the last month,
00:46:53I've been on out-of-town assignments.
00:46:55Three...
00:46:57What's this, Cathy?
00:47:04Cathy, what is this?
00:47:10Don't think you're fooling anyone, Cathy Doyle.
00:47:12Don't think it isn't clear to anyone with half an eye,
00:47:14except your blind husband.
00:47:16What is this? Who wrote it?
00:47:18I don't know.
00:47:20There have been three of them.
00:47:22I didn't want you upset.
00:47:23Listen, I want it all.
00:47:24Some woman wrote this, right?
00:47:25I want to know who it was.
00:47:27I knew this would happen.
00:47:28That's why I wanted us to get away from here.
00:47:30I knew there would be gossip about...
00:47:31Gossip? Gossip about what?
00:47:33About Tony Pope and me.
00:47:36Tony Pope?
00:47:38Will you tell me who wrote it?
00:47:42Will you please tell me who wrote it?
00:47:44It must have been Sarah.
00:47:45Sarah and Charlie Elitas.
00:47:46They hate me.
00:47:47They hate both of us because of Tony and Alice Pope.
00:47:51Bill!
00:47:53Bill!
00:47:54Bill!
00:47:55Bill!
00:47:56Bill, please don't do anything.
00:47:57Bill!
00:47:58Bill!
00:48:06No admission, eh?
00:48:08We figured maybe we can get one.
00:48:15How?
00:48:18According to your own report, he's out-thought and out-talked you five ways from the middle.
00:48:23Well, he likes to talk.
00:48:25Words roll a lot like marbles.
00:48:27We figure if we let him run off at the mouth, I'll-
00:48:40Get him!
00:48:41Get him!
00:48:42Get him!
00:48:43You crazy!
00:48:44Come here!
00:48:47Next time you mention my wife's name, I come after you with my gun!
00:48:57Lieutenant William Doyle charged with premeditated attack upon superior officer Captain Charles Olitos.
00:49:04Witnesses, Sergeants James and Jules.
00:49:07Sergeant James?
00:49:08Yes, sir?
00:49:09Stand by your chair, please.
00:49:10You were present last night when this alleged attack took place. Now what happened?
00:49:19Well, uh, Sergeant Jules and I were going over a squeal with Captain Olitos when Lieutenant Doyle came busting into the office.
00:49:26What do you mean, came busting into the office?
00:49:29Oh, sir, I mean-
00:49:30Did Lieutenant Doyle kick in any doors?
00:49:33Oh, no, sir.
00:49:34Did Lieutenant Doyle tear down any walls?
00:49:37No, sir.
00:49:38Did Lieutenant Doyle force his way into the office in any manner?
00:49:42No, sir.
00:49:43Then I can't understand what you mean by busting into the office.
00:49:49Unfortunate choice of words, sir.
00:49:52I mean to say Lieutenant Doyle came into the office.
00:49:56Yes, I see.
00:49:58There is a difference.
00:50:00When you say a man comes busting into a room, there is the implication of violence.
00:50:05Don't you agree?
00:50:06Yes, sir.
00:50:10All right, James, continue.
00:50:12Well, Lieutenant Doyle came in the office.
00:50:14Captain Olitos was seated on the corner of the desk.
00:50:17He looked up when he saw the lieutenant and-
00:50:21Go on.
00:50:24Well, sir, I think I noticed the captain make a sort of a move with his hand.
00:50:31What kind of move?
00:50:33As though he might be-
00:50:37Like he was reaching for his guns.
00:50:39All right, sir.
00:50:41Sergeant Jules.
00:50:42Yes, sir.
00:50:45Did you see the captain move for his gun?
00:50:48Well, sir, I-
00:50:49I don't remember.
00:50:51But after Lieutenant Doyle struck the captain, the gun did come out of the holster.
00:50:58You saw him get his gun out of his holster?
00:51:00Well, no, sir.
00:51:01Well, I knocked it out of his hand.
00:51:03I see.
00:51:06All right, James, you saw the captain reach for his gun.
00:51:09This was after Lieutenant Doyle made the alleged attack?
00:51:12Oh, no, no, sir.
00:51:13Just as Lieutenant Doyle came busting- came into the room, sir.
00:51:18You're saying then the captain reached for his gun before the alleged attack?
00:51:22Well, yes, sir, but-
00:51:23But what?
00:51:27Nothing, Inspector.
00:51:30Captain Alitos?
00:51:34Did you reach for your gun before Lieutenant Doyle launched the alleged attack?
00:51:40You keep saying, sir, the alleged attack.
00:51:43There is nothing alleged about the way my face looks.
00:51:47You haven't answered my question.
00:51:50I don't remember.
00:51:51Sergeant James testified that you reached for your gun before-
00:51:55I heard him.
00:51:57I might have.
00:51:58I-I don't remember.
00:52:00I-I saw Doyle come busting in.
00:52:04Yes, sir, busting in with clear intent to attack me.
00:52:06I-I might have reached.
00:52:07I-I'm not sure.
00:52:09You say he came in with clear intent to attack you.
00:52:16Now, why-
00:52:18Why would you expect the lieutenant to attack you?
00:52:29May I speak to you alone a minute, sir?
00:52:32Please wait outside.
00:52:33All right, Bill.
00:52:47What happened?
00:52:48I don't know whether or not Alitos did go for his gun.
00:52:52I did come busting in with the intent of beating him up.
00:52:55And I guess he knew it when he saw my face.
00:52:58He and his wife, they, um...
00:52:59Well, they've been spreading some vicious gossip about Mrs. Doyle and...
00:53:03...some man.
00:53:04Did he mention the man's name?
00:53:16It doesn't matter.
00:53:17None of it's true.
00:53:27Just Captain Alitos, please.
00:53:35This is messy business.
00:53:40An attack against a fellow officer cannot be justified.
00:53:45On the other hand, neither can we find justification for indiscriminate gunplay in the squad rooms.
00:53:50This entire issue is muddied and a disgrace to both of you.
00:53:57It's my feeling that a full hearing of this case could serve no purpose except to damage unjustly the prestige of the department.
00:54:07I suggest we consider the incident closed.
00:54:20To be continued...
00:54:21To be continued...
00:54:50To be continued...
00:55:00Sorry, too.
00:55:04Get you out of bed, Kathy?
00:55:06Well, that's all right.
00:55:14Heard from Bill?
00:55:16He called earlier.
00:55:17I expect to be home tomorrow evening.
00:55:30What's wrong, Tony?
00:55:33It's Alice.
00:55:36She hasn't been well lately, you know that?
00:55:42Nothing we can put our fingers on.
00:55:45It's just...
00:55:50She's been in Mercy Hospital for two days now. Observation.
00:55:55What did the doctor say?
00:55:58That it's all up to me.
00:56:01I don't understand, Tony.
00:56:03Alice isn't...
00:56:05Well, she just can't take the attention much longer.
00:56:12You're married to a detective.
00:56:15You know what I mean?
00:56:18Pressure and worry over the years.
00:56:21She just can't stand it off any longer.
00:56:25Doctors tell me she needs a complete release from tension. That's where they put it.
00:56:30All day I've been trying to find the right thing to do.
00:56:40We can still have a lot of good years together.
00:56:46Guess I owe Alice that much.
00:56:48Yeah.
00:56:49Only one thing I can do.
00:56:58Retire.
00:57:00It's easy.
00:57:01I can't see much life without the department. It's been my life, all of it.
00:57:12All those years. Funny.
00:57:16Where'd they go?
00:57:18One morning you wake up, look in the mirror and you...
00:57:22We're always living in tomorrow.
00:57:26Tomorrow the department will still be there and I'll be gone.
00:57:29There'll be another man, another inspector.
00:57:38Inspector Doyle.
00:57:41Inspector William Doyle.
00:57:42William Doyle.
00:57:51Bill might be a choice.
00:57:53Might and time.
00:57:56Might.
00:57:59Yeah.
00:58:01Word for Bill and eat.
00:58:12Oh, Cathy, I feel just wonderful.
00:58:31No thanks to the doctors, though. Probe, pinch, push.
00:58:35Best medicine was Tony when he told me he'd retire.
00:58:38Do you know what this can mean for Bill?
00:58:39Of course you do.
00:58:41Is Tony coming up there this afternoon?
00:58:44He's very busy with last-minute arrangements.
00:58:47We're leaving for Honolulu next week, you know.
00:58:50Next week?
00:58:52I know I love Hawaii, but I'll miss you.
00:58:55We'll both miss you, Cathy.
00:58:59I'll miss you, too.
00:59:01But I'm so happy for you.
00:59:03Take care of yourself. I'll call you tomorrow.
00:59:09I'll call you tomorrow.
00:59:11I'll call you tomorrow.
00:59:13Have a call for you tomorrow.
00:59:15What are you doing?
00:59:17I don't know.
00:59:19I'll call you tomorrow.
00:59:21Don't call me tomorrow.
00:59:23Loss Angeles Police Department.
00:59:25Inspector Pope, please.
00:59:26Who's calling Inspector Pope?
00:59:28Mrs. Pope.
00:59:30Hello, Alice.
00:59:32Tony, I use her name because I've called you three times and you...
00:59:34people in my office. I don't care what anybody thinks. Not now. It's...
00:59:37All right. Meet me at Barclays at 3.
00:59:39All right. All right. I'll meet you there in 15 minutes.
00:59:43It's important that we... Hello? Hello?
01:00:04Tony, you can't do this to me. Not after you...
01:00:11Now, listen to me. Ever since that night, I've been sick.
01:00:17I don't like what I did because of Bill. All right. It happened.
01:00:22I'll figure it is my fault, but that's the end of it.
01:00:25That night, anything happened, anything said, the end of it. You follow me?
01:00:28You're not putting Bill in for the job.
01:00:31I'm not putting Bill in for the job.
01:00:33But you promised, Tony. You promised.
01:00:35Hello, talk. I've got a responsibility to the department.
01:00:38I won't sell that out for something we both stole.
01:00:41Bill's not good enough for the job. He just isn't. That's all there is to it.
01:00:45Who is your man?
01:00:47Charlie Alitos.
01:00:50I've been preparing him for the job for years.
01:00:53Good man, Charlie.
01:00:55Made a mistake when I transferred him out.
01:00:58Now, if I have to apologize to him, that's all right, too.
01:01:02Apologize.
01:01:04Alitos.
01:01:05Man for the job.
01:01:07Apologize.
01:01:08Alitos.
01:01:09Man for the job.
01:01:11Man for the job.
01:01:12Man for the job.
01:01:13Man for the job.
01:01:15You all right, madame?
01:01:19May I get you...
01:01:21You are feeling all right?
01:01:23You don't look so...

01:12:24It's just another squeal.
01:12:25You go back to sleep.
01:12:32Must you go, darling?
01:12:33You've just come off a job and you're done.
01:12:35It's nothing they can't handle without me.
01:12:37But you know how they are.

01:12:57I'm coming.
01:12:58You're coming.
01:12:59You're coming.
01:13:00I'm coming.
01:13:01You're coming.
01:13:02You're coming.
01:13:03Come on.
01:13:04You're coming.

01:13:10Come on.
01:13:11Come on.
01:13:13I'm coming.
01:13:14Oh, my God.
01:13:44All divisions, all squads, days off and leaves canceled.
01:14:01We roll 24 hours a day.
01:14:04Drop everything to concentrate on the killing of Pope.
01:14:07He may have been shoved across by some thug he once set over.
01:14:10Check the prison releases in every case he ever handled,
01:14:12and round up every gunsell ever had a reader sent out on him.
01:14:16I don't care what you have to do, get him.
01:14:18Any questions?
01:14:19We know what you want.
01:14:20Except for one thing, I put the arm on before the arrest is made.
01:14:42On the local front, Los Angeles Police Inspector Anthony Pope
01:14:56was found murdered in his home early this morning.
01:14:59The body was discovered by the maid, Angie Crowell.
01:15:03Inspector Pope had been shot once through the head.
01:15:05The only official statement issued...
01:15:07The only official statement issued...
01:15:09The only official statement issued...
01:15:15A photo of the bullet is ready.
01:15:45The M.E. said the bullet went in through the upper left orbital region, spun around the
01:16:11inside of the skull and lodged at the base.
01:16:14I figured it for a snub-nosed 38, along a gun barrel, more firepower would have plowed out.
01:16:21That's the slug, huh?
01:16:22Yep, that's it.
01:16:23Give me the photo.
01:16:27Yeah.
01:16:28Can I hold it?
01:16:34I'll take that with me.
01:16:41I'll take that with you.
01:16:48I'll take that with you.
01:16:56Hello?
01:16:57Did I wake you darling?
01:17:03Hello?
01:17:04Did I wake you darling?
01:17:10No.
01:17:11You heard?
01:17:12Yes.
01:17:13I'm on the radio.
01:17:17Listen.
01:17:18Hold on to yourself.
01:17:19Alice will need you.
01:17:20Alice.
01:17:21Go to her.
01:17:22Stay with her Kathy, it's rough.
01:17:24Yes.
01:17:25Stay with Alice.
01:17:26When will you be home darling?
01:17:31Until we get him.
01:17:32I'll keep in touch with you.
01:17:33Try to help Alice.
01:17:34Bye.
01:17:35Thanks.
01:17:36Bye.
01:17:52We'll see you again.
01:17:57Bye.
01:18:00Oh, wow.
01:18:32That drugstore killing, you got the photo?
01:18:34Yeah, sure.
01:18:35Got them right here.
01:18:39And the Pope photo.
01:19:02Mm-hmm. Look at that.
01:19:03But.
01:19:04Yeah, but.
01:19:05Out of one of the guns that killed the druggist.
01:19:07It's impossible.
01:19:08You work on this gun?
01:19:10I had him.
01:19:10Just a slugsy him.
01:19:11He dug out of the druggist.
01:19:13Guns attacked with a property clerk.
01:19:20Here's the arresting officer's signature.
01:19:22Jewels.
01:19:23Here's the gun.
01:19:24One gun.
01:19:25I'll take it to the photo lab right away.
01:19:48Here's the print.
01:20:07Well, the other gun.
01:20:22Pope was killed by the other gun.
01:20:28Now, this is Doyle.
01:20:29Get a hold of Sergeant Jewels.
01:20:30Tell him to come to my office.
01:20:32Right away.
01:20:32Then I tagged this gun, and I took it down to property.
01:20:41Two.
01:20:41Two guns.
01:20:42There were two guns.
01:20:43There was this one gun, and I took it down to property.
01:20:45Two.
01:20:46I picked them both up.
01:20:47You remember?
01:20:48You said shooting gallery.
01:20:49Both blasted.
01:20:49Do you remember that?
01:20:51Do you remember?
01:20:52Remember?
01:20:55Where's the other gun?
01:20:56Where's that other gun?
01:21:00Just a minute, Doyle.
01:21:02James, you and Sergeant Jewels made that arrest.
01:21:04Yes, sir.
01:21:04You took the two guns from the suspect.
01:21:05Yes, sir.
01:21:06What did you do with them?
01:21:07Left them on the table by the headquarters desk with the other belongings.
01:21:10Then Sergeant Jewels and I waited for acting Captain Doyle.
01:21:12Who was on duty at the desk?
01:21:13Officer Spitz.
01:21:14Sergeant Jewels.
01:21:15Were there two guns on that table?
01:21:17Well, there must have been, sir.
01:21:19Either there was or there wasn't.
01:21:21Yes, sir.
01:21:22Two guns.
01:21:23And you both waited there with Officer Spitz until Doyle arrived?
01:21:25Yes, sir.
01:21:26Then the three of us went to interrogation after Captain got there with Mrs. Doyle.
01:21:42Did you take one of the guns?
01:21:44No, sir.
01:21:48Did you ever leave your desk?
01:21:50No, sir.
01:21:51Except to get some water for Mrs. Doyle.
01:21:55What did you do with the gun, Kathy?
01:22:22I love you, Bill.
01:22:27I'd do anything in the world for you.
01:22:31You killed Tony Pope, Kathy.
01:22:36Yes, sir.
01:22:41You took the gun from the squad room?
01:22:45Yes, sir.
01:22:46And you killed him.
01:22:52Yes, yes, yes.
01:22:54And you know why.
01:22:55He said no.
01:22:57He said not the man for the job.
01:22:59He said not good enough.
01:23:00But you are, you are good enough.
01:23:01Good enough to bring in his own killer.
01:23:04Why couldn't you just leave it alone?
01:23:06Now I'll know.
01:23:13Now I'll know just how much of a cop you really are.
01:23:24The same cop, Kathy.
01:23:26The same cop you met in Frisco.
01:23:34The same cop I was ten years ago.
01:23:36Found in a bead.
01:23:40The same cop.
01:23:41Oh, Bill.
01:23:57Oh, Bill.
01:24:00Oh, Bill.
01:25:08Doyle, question in the boat, get on.
