00:01:34 #1 I want to tell my friend he's got something coming to him.
00:01:40 #2 And he's going to get it.
00:01:42 #3 The court will remind the prisoner, the district attorney,
00:01:44 #4 as but full filled the obligations of his office.
00:01:46 #5 It is therefore the sentence of this court
00:01:48 #6 that the defendant shall be put to death
00:01:50 #7 during the week beginning June 2nd, 1938,
00:01:54 #8 in the manner in place prescribed by law.
00:01:57 #9 You are remanded to the custody of the sheriff.
00:02:02 #10 Edward Hennessey, Associated Press.
00:02:05 #11 This letter will admit you to the executions
00:02:06 #12 required by law of Joseph Patterson,
00:02:08 #13 States prison the night of June 4 Jack. Okay. Okay. And it's a move on in.
00:02:13 #14 Let us save some of that to leave come out. Well boys it looks like Paterson's
00:02:24 #15 going to get it all right. Yep he gets it this time. The A sure killed the reprieve.
00:02:28 #16 What's the governor himself he's a tough on very all right all right. Who
00:02:32 #17 had a small store with Mr.
00:02:33 #18 Kentucky you said it all right boys this way please. Is it true that they
00:02:44 #19 smoke with me. Think about it. He thought of you right to the end Mr.
00:03:49 #20 Well sure sharpie well sure they're all well sure you'd think life olden something
00:03:54 #21 This Patterson bumped off for himself and how many others he's had knocked off
00:03:58 #22 I couldn't even guess but when it comes time for him to pay off look at the squawky makes
00:04:04 #23 Well, we can check off another on the old adding machine 11 and 18 months
00:04:10 #24 We're making progress sharpie making progress. We'll have this town Lily quite the first thing you know
00:04:14 #25 I wish you get rid of that hideous contraption. It gives me the willies
00:04:19 #26 I'm not being too impertinent.
00:04:20 #27 Just an old Chinese custom, Sharpie.
00:04:23 #28 Chinese?
00:04:24 #29 You sound more like an Indian if you ask me.
00:04:26 #30 An Indian counting scalps.
00:04:29 #31 It's my job to count scalps.
00:04:31 #32 It's still a life for a life so far as I'm concerned
00:04:34 #33 and will be till they rewrite those law books over there.
00:04:37 #34 The unit's sharp.
00:04:38 #35 Oh, thank you, Sonny.
00:04:39 #36 You're welcome, Sharpie.
00:04:43 #37 The governor returned the record of the Paterson Confession.
00:04:46 #38 I'd like to have seen his face when they listened to it.
00:04:49 #39 Paterson didn't have a chance.
00:04:51 #40 Through it. I'll take it home and put it with the collection.
00:04:54 #41 I just think you'd have enough of them now.
00:04:56 #42 Don't be unkind to me this lovely morning, Sharpie.
00:04:58 #43 What about the mail?
00:04:59 #44 Oh, nothing much. Another clipping from the Tatler's column.
00:05:03 #45 Another one?
00:05:04 #46 Not a boost this time. Or maybe it is.
00:05:07 #47 I never can tell about those things.
00:05:08 #48 Read it to me.
00:05:10 #49 Not at all, you gossip. Not at all.
00:05:13 #50 The wife's boyfriend has the DA's. Okay.
00:05:17 #51 Are you suspicious, Sharpie?
00:05:19 #52 No.
00:05:20 #53 Or Phil's a nice youngster.
00:05:21 #54 And you wouldn't have me keep a lady
00:05:23 #55 chained up in a vault at home?
00:05:25 #56 Or would you?
00:05:25 #57 No, except that I've heard that husband should
00:05:28 #58 go home once in a while.
00:05:29 #59 And I've also heard this more to life than crime.
00:05:32 #60 You certainly keep your ear to the ground.
00:05:35 #61 And I've also heard that tonight,
00:05:37 #62 if I'm not being too impertinent. Yes?
00:05:40 #63 I'm working on the telephone threat.
00:05:47 #64 Yesterday is...
00:05:48 #65 We traced that call, Chief.
00:05:49 #66 Hello, Sharpie.
00:05:50 #67 came to the drugstore on Christopher Street.
00:05:53 #68 A lot of people hang out in the joint, but you can't put it on any.
00:05:57 #69 It's a gas station. Everybody uses it.
00:05:59 #70 It's going all the time.
00:06:01 #71 Forget it, Kirk. It's probably cold now.
00:06:03 #72 I don't know. The people are pretty much shut up.
00:06:06 #73 I wouldn't worry.
00:06:07 #74 I figured they wanted to give me the business before I got to the governor.
00:06:11 #75 But it's too late now.
00:06:13 #76 They all want to get you a Murphy when you first send them up.
00:06:16 #77 But prison cools them off.
00:06:18 #78 That'd be no prosecutor's if it didn't.
00:06:20 #79 Burning doesn't cool off the relatives any, Mr. Stoll.
00:06:23 #80 I keep an eye out of how he...
00:06:24 #81 Addison's got no relatives.
00:06:26 #82 Only a kid cousin and he's in Mexico.
00:06:29 #83 Thanks, boys. Thanks.
00:06:30 #84 Right. You'll forget it.
00:06:31 #85 Keep moving, Sharpie.
00:06:33 #86 Oh, Chief. You sitting in on that quiz tonight?
00:06:35 #87 No, but I wouldn't miss that.
00:06:37 #88 Okay.
00:06:40 #89 Are you serious?
00:06:41 #90 If you're not being too impassive...
00:06:44 #91 Oh, sure, he's about what?
00:06:46 #92 You're going to that quiz tonight.
00:06:48 #93 Of course I'm going.
00:06:49 #94 Yes.
00:06:50 #95 Oh, put her on.
00:06:51 #96 It's Mrs. Stone.
00:06:53 #97 Hello, darling.
00:06:55 #98 Yes, this is a surprise.
00:06:56 #99 We were just talking about you, Sharpie and I.
00:06:59 #100 Of course it was nice.
00:07:01 #101 Today?
00:07:02 #102 Yes, this is the fifth.
00:07:04 #103 Yes, Lucy?
00:07:08 #104 I should say I do know.
00:07:10 #105 Of course, darling, it's your birthday.
00:07:13 #106 You thought I'd forgot.
00:07:14 #107 I should say not.
00:07:16 #108 Certainly, darling, I'll be home early.
00:07:18 #109 We'll put on our good clothes and make a night of it.
00:07:20 #110 Dinner in the theatre?
00:07:22 #111 That's right, Lucy.
00:07:24 #112 And, darling, there's a package on the way,
00:07:27 #113 but don't open it till I get there.
00:07:30 #114 Absolutely. I'll be home early. Absolutely.
00:07:34 #115 Thanks, Sharpie. Thanks. I don't know what I'd have done.
00:07:40 #116 Just my ear to the ground again. I cried to tell you.
00:07:43 #117 That gift on the way idea was an inspiration.
00:07:45 #118 I'd never have been forgiven.
00:07:47 #119 I told Traghanes to send a tray down for selection.
00:07:50 #120 diamond clips would be nice small ones and forgotten completely fine husband I am
00:07:56 #121 I'll order the flowers or kids don't you think yes I'll be fine I'll tell upon Mr.

00:08:27 #127 You couldn't?
00:08:48 #128 Don't let him kid you, Liz. Thank you, Creola.
00:08:50 #129 I didn't know, Miss Stowell, if you wanted the ice melted or not.
00:08:55 #130 Oh, no, Creola, I think it's better this way.
00:08:58 #131 Thank you, ma'am.
00:09:00 #132 I can't believe it.
00:09:02 #133 She's marvelous. She's my new maid, but you should taste her biscuits there.
00:09:05 #134 Wonderful.
00:09:06 #135 I'll taste the highball if it's all right with everybody.
00:09:08 #136 Everybody you think is please don't make it to we
00:09:12 #137 Hello, Mr. Stowell
00:09:15 #138 Jim
00:09:19 #139 For a drink happy birthday darling it is now
00:09:23 #140 I didn't know do see
00:09:26 #141 All the old girls do Elizabeth
00:09:28 #142 Hi, I don't find you find would you like to drink? I'm ashamed of myself forgetting me a cousin too. Thanks darling. I'll fix my own I
00:09:36 #143 I almost forgot myself and I'm a husband.
00:09:39 #144 Hello. New glasses?
00:09:41 #145 The set from Phil, isn't it lovely?
00:09:43 #146 Worth their present?
00:09:45 #147 They're just replacements for the ones I break.
00:09:47 #148 So you remembered.
00:09:49 #149 That was nice of you, Phil.
00:09:51 #150 Seems I saw something in the papers about Lucian Phil, didn't I?
00:09:53 #151 It's a bit of scandal.
00:09:55 #152 I can't get away with the face.
00:09:57 #153 I saw that.
00:09:59 #154 I wish it hadn't gotten in the youth papers, though.
00:10:01 #155 Not that I care particularly, but you know,
00:10:03 #156 a man in my position...
00:10:05 #157 It was a triple date, Jim. I didn't show up.
00:10:07 #158 The young things took pity on me.
00:10:09 #159 You don't think I'm serious?
00:10:11 #160 You don't think I suspect Lucy, do you?
00:10:13 #161 I didn't know what to think.
00:10:14 #162 You know, when you're talking to a district attorney...
00:10:16 #163 Well, I hope I'm not bringing my job home with me, Elizabeth.
00:10:19 #164 Monster, though, I'm supposed to be.
00:10:21 #165 Caesar's wife must be a bum, suspiciously.
00:10:23 #166 To Caesar's wife.
00:10:25 #167 Wait a minute, John. Do you know what happened to Caesar's wife?
00:10:27 #168 Uh-uh, something dreadful.
00:10:29 #169 He killed her.
00:10:30 #170 Deader than a dornier.
00:10:32 #171 Oh.
00:10:33 #172 Well, let's just drink to Lucy.
00:10:35 #173 To Lucy, darling.
00:10:41 #174 Hey, Mr. Stowell.
00:10:43 #175 Yes, Creola?
00:10:44 #176 Telephone.
00:10:46 #177 Who is it, Creola? Who is it?
00:10:48 #178 It's the gentleman who works in your office, Mr. Stowell.
00:10:51 #179 It's Mr. Cuddy.
00:10:52 #180 Oh, please, Jim.
00:10:53 #181 Oh, of course, darling. Of course.
00:10:55 #182 What's the matter with me?
00:10:57 #183 Tell Mr. Cuck, I'm not in. And Creola,
00:10:59 #184 I'm into nobody from now on. Understand?
00:11:01 #185 Nobody.
00:11:02 #186 Yes, sir. I understand.
00:11:04 #187 You just ain't in.
00:11:06 #188 I still don't believe it.
00:11:09 #189 Sometimes I wonder if Jim is my husband or just district attorney.
00:11:12 #190 Of course it's at the university, Phil.
00:11:14 #191 I'm on my last postgraduate course right now.
00:11:16 #192 Political science.
00:11:17 #193 Do you know after this I'm afraid I'm going to have to go out and go to work?
00:11:20 #194 You hate to give up watching football practice.
00:11:23 #195 Come on, Einstein, we've got to go.
00:11:25 #196 I'm going to make him study tonight or bust.
00:11:27 #197 Let's bust.
00:11:28 #198 A great, big, beautiful bust all over town. What do you say?
00:11:30 #199 Oh, you're nitty. Come on.
00:11:31 #200 Thanks, Lucy, for the game and the drink. See you soon.
00:11:33 #201 Bye-bye.
00:11:34 #202 Have a good night.
00:11:35 #203 Thank you.
00:11:37 #204 Good looking pair of kids.
00:11:38 #205 Nice too.
00:11:39 #206 I wonder if they'll ever get married.
00:11:41 #207 Mr. Stowell!
00:11:42 #208 I told the gentleman you said you was Nin,
00:11:45 #209 but he didn't believe me, Mr. Stowell.
00:11:47 #210 He said to tell you it was important
00:11:50 #211 and to tell you that the cousin from Mexico was in town.
00:11:53 #212 But he didn't say what cousin, Mr. Stowell.
00:11:56 #213 That's all right, Cruella, thank you.
00:11:59 #214 You're welcome.
00:12:00 #215 What does that mean, Jim, the cousin from Mexico?
00:12:02 #216 Nothing, nothing at all.
00:12:04 #217 Kirk shouldn't bother me here with details.
00:12:07 #218 Well, we'd better go along then.
00:12:08 #219 We'll have to hurry if we're going to dress.
00:12:10 #220 There's no place to hurry to when I'm with you.
00:12:12 #221 Darling.
00:12:18 #222 These clips are so lovely, Jill.
00:12:20 #223 You know I really hoped for them.
00:12:22 #224 My girl, I bet you hoped me for them.
00:12:25 #225 Well, don't people say that if you hope hard enough
00:12:27 #226 for anything, it comes through?
00:12:28 #227 Only foolish people, darling.
00:12:29 #228 Hopes to cheat.
00:12:30 #229 They're not a very kind one.
00:12:31 #230 Must you be cynical tonight?
00:12:33 #231 Oh, don't listen to me.
00:12:35 #232 Hope is fine, darling.
00:12:37 #233 But having so much better.
00:12:38 #234 Nice, nice husband.
00:12:40 #235 Oh, now you make me feel uncomfortable.
00:12:42 #236 I've got a confession to make.
00:12:44 #237 The clips weren't really my idea.
00:12:46 #238 I don't know.
00:12:47 #239 Sharpest thought of it.
00:12:48 #240 And Frank Sharpest thought of your birthday.
00:12:50 #241 Oh, dear.
00:12:51 #242 Oh, it's the awful truth.
00:12:53 #243 I forgot.
00:12:55 #244 Well, I wouldn't let it bother me.
00:12:56 #245 Sometimes I wonder how you managed to remember
00:12:58 #246 as many things as you do.
00:13:00 #247 And you're the only thing in the world really worth remembering.
00:13:03 #248 That's nicer than any prison, Jim.
00:13:05 #249 Except I didn't remember.
00:13:07 #250 But someday I will.
00:13:08 #251 Someday I'll stack up all the things I've forgotten
00:13:10 #252 in one huge celebration for you.
00:13:13 #253 And will that be a day?
00:13:14 #254 This day, this nice small day is all right.
00:13:17 #255 Just having you home again like this is enough.
00:13:19 #256 I haven't been anywhere.
00:13:20 #257 I know, but it seems you're never home anymore. Never?
00:13:24 #258 Well, almost never.
00:13:25 #259 At first I used to be able to console myself by saying,
00:13:28 #260 your husband's a great soldier.
00:13:29 #261 He must be off to his wars.
00:13:31 #262 But lately it's been harder and harder making it work.
00:13:34 #263 I don't seem to be able to console myself that way anymore.
00:13:37 #264 I just want you with me, especially when it's getting dark.
00:13:40 #265 I suppose I'm just lonesome.
00:13:42 #266 Or maybe I'm afraid of ghosts.
00:13:45 #267 Just a minute, Lucie.
00:14:01 #268 Just in case of ghosts.
00:14:04 #269 Jim, must you carry a gun even on our night out?
00:14:06 #270 It's nothing, darling.
00:14:08 #271 What the well-dressed man must wear out.
00:14:10 #272 That doesn't sound like you, Jim.
00:14:11 #273 I know you were just trying to put my mind at ease,
00:14:13 #274 but you didn't used to joke about things like this.
00:14:15 #275 It's nothing, Lucie.
00:14:16 #276 I promise you.
00:14:17 #277 But it isn't nothing.
00:14:18 #278 When you told me this afternoon when she was joking about me,
00:14:21 #279 you said you didn't want to bring your job home with you.
00:14:24 #280 Now you are bringing it home with you.
00:14:25 #281 You really mean it, Lucy?
00:14:27 #282 Well, look, Jim, we can't even go out on a birthday celebration
00:14:29 #283 without you being armed.
00:14:31 #284 I'm sorry, Lucy.
00:14:33 #285 But it isn't serious, as you think.
00:14:34 #286 The gun has made everything sort of melodramatic.
00:14:37 #287 But I didn't realize that I was bringing the job home with me.
00:14:40 #288 Sharpie accused me of it, but I wouldn't listen.
00:14:43 #289 I've been wrong, I stand convicted.
00:14:45 #290 Pardon me, Governor, and I promise it won't happen again.
00:14:48 #291 But it isn't just the gun, Jim.
00:14:49 #292 I know, darling, it's me.
00:14:51 #293 It's the job.
00:14:52 #294 It's everything about fate.
00:14:54 #295 Yes, Cruella?
00:14:57 #296 These, yes, come.
00:14:58 #297 Oh, kid.
00:14:59 #298 Oh, this is my birthday.
00:15:01 #299 Jim, you're a darling.
00:15:02 #300 You're a considerate, impeccable husband.
00:15:04 #301 And I'm ashamed of myself for saying the things
00:15:06 #302 I did a few minutes ago.
00:15:07 #303 Now I'm caught again.
00:15:09 #304 Caught?
00:15:10 #305 Sharply thought of the flowers, too.
00:15:12 #306 Oh, dear.
00:15:13 #307 Well, anyway, this is my birthday.
00:15:16 #308 I'll try to think of something original before the evening's over.
00:15:32 #309 Night-dreaming, ma'am.
00:15:33 #310 Perfect, James. Perfect.
00:15:34 #311 Been some time, James, since we've made an evening of it.
00:15:36 #312 But Mrs. Dole with us it is, sir.
00:15:38 #313 Why, James, you mean?
00:15:39 #314 Oh, no, ma'am. I didn't mean it.
00:15:42 #315 Oh, Tim.
00:16:08 #316 Tim, James, call an ambulance.
00:16:10 #317 Ha! Thanks, Kate. Okay.
00:16:27 #318 Sure, sure.
00:16:28 #319 What do you think about it?
00:16:30 #320 I don't know.
00:16:32 #321 What do you think, gentlemen?
00:16:33 #322 What about giving a dead man a break?
00:16:35 #323 Okay.
00:16:36 #324 What's the plan?
00:16:37 #325 And let us show on the front pages.
00:16:39 #326 You're marvelous, Jim.
00:16:41 #327 You couldn't have done it better if you had planned it.
00:16:43 #328 It's a great break.
00:16:44 #329 And all for a nick in the elbow.
00:16:46 #330 That's luck, man, and you deserve it.
00:16:48 #331 I'd like to have quins that kid before he died.
00:16:50 #332 Cigarette?
00:16:51 #333 I never use them.
00:16:52 #334 Now, Jim, it's better the way it happens.
00:16:54 #335 It's a closed book.
00:16:56 #336 We've had enough passers-ons.
00:16:58 #337 I'd like to have had those newspaper boys in here last night
00:17:01 #338 when they were operating.
00:17:02 #339 You'd have gotten sick if the dark wouldn't stand for it.
00:17:04 #340 We'd have had a great break in the morning papers.
00:17:07 #341 Afternoon papers are not to be seized after this town, no sir.
00:17:10 #342 If this were election year, we could snap you right into the city hall.
00:17:14 #343 Easy, just like that.
00:17:15 #344 Thanks, Dan.
00:17:16 #345 Thanks, nothing. I'm doing you no papers, I'm not doing myself.
00:17:19 #346 Well, you got this town for the year, served by its long, hairy ear.
00:17:24 #347 You're a hero, that's what you are.
00:17:27 #348 Well, goodbye, Jim. I'll be in later with the papers.
00:17:29 #349 All right. See you later, Anne.
00:17:30 #350 Good-bye, God-given, darling. Enjoy your walk.
00:17:37 #351 Yes, Jim.
00:17:38 #352 While I was walking, I did a lot of thinking.
00:17:40 #353 An awful lot, Jim.
00:17:42 #354 Badly a complexion, darling.
00:17:44 #355 I heard those reporters talking, coming out of the elevator.
00:17:47 #356 I couldn't believe they were talking about you.
00:17:49 #357 I heard one of them say the inquisitor almost got it himself.
00:17:53 #358 Don't you think, Jim, that when things like this can happen,
00:17:56 #359 when people try to kill you in front of your own house,
00:17:59 #360 don't you think it's hard to have one of us started thinking?
00:18:01 #361 I've been thinking myself, Lizzie. Quite a lot, too.
00:18:04 #362 But I mean about us, Jim.
00:18:06 #363 We've got to do something.
00:18:08 #364 Hardly ever seen you as bad enough, but when...
00:18:10 #365 I know. I've become a regular headhunter, as Sharpie says.
00:18:13 #366 Does Sharpie say that?
00:18:14 #367 All the time. Says I've become a maniac.
00:18:16 #368 Says everybody's a suspect of the main.
00:18:18 #369 Everybody's a potential criminal.
00:18:20 #370 Says all I live for is convictions and executions.
00:18:23 #371 I never had the nerve to tell you.
00:18:25 #372 You didn't have to tell me. I knew it.
00:18:27 #373 You're what you were thinking, too.
00:18:28 #374 Did you really?
00:18:29 #375 Rarely, intro-y.
00:18:30 #376 Yes?
00:18:34 #377 Who is it?
00:18:36 #378 Oh, it's Mr. Kirk. Do you want to talk?
00:18:38 #379 Yes, I'll be.
00:18:40 #380 Yes, Kirk. Fine, fine.
00:18:43 #381 No, no, I'll tell you what to do.
00:18:44 #382 You handle the office yourself. That's right.
00:18:47 #383 No, no, it isn't bad. I'm fine. Perfect.
00:18:50 #384 No, Mrs. Stoll and I are going away on a trip.
00:18:54 #385 Three or four weeks.
00:18:56 #386 We haven't worked it out yet.
00:18:58 #387 Maybe Canada, maybe California, maybe Europe.
00:19:01 #388 I've never had a vacation and there's no telling where we'll end up.
00:19:04 #389 Thanks Kirk. Thanks. Goodbye.
00:19:06 #390 Do you really mean it?
00:19:08 #391 Absolutely. We both need a vacation, Lizzie.
00:19:11 #392 We both need to renew our old acquaintanceship.
00:19:13 #393 Oh, Jim.
00:19:14 #394 Yeah?
00:19:15 #395 You know, that trip we've been saving up for our old age.
00:19:18 #396 Are the ones we're going to take for a honeymoon in this?
00:19:20 #397 Are any of those trips we should have taken on ever did?
00:19:23 #398 All right, darling?
00:19:24 #399 I can't believe it, Jim. I really can't.
00:19:26 #400 Who do you start believing right now?
00:19:28 #401 Land of the midnight sun.
00:19:31 #402 Morabial.
00:19:32 #403 Blue Mediterranean.
00:19:34 #404 An old Quebec Australia
00:19:38 #405 The reveal would you like to go to Cairo looks pretty good to me
00:19:41 #406 Why not do it to salmon fishing in Alaska? I think I'd like to go to Switzerland very aloof Switzerland
00:19:47 #407 It's so clean and quiet. He did fly on a belt
00:19:52 #408 No, he just got no sense of humor. I don't want anything done. I want sunshine and snow and everything quite
00:19:59 #409 I'll be happy if we ever get anywhere.
00:20:02 #410 I still have to pinch myself to make sure I'm awake.
00:20:04 #411 And I'm very careful not to pinch too hard.
00:20:06 #412 I really can't believe it.
00:20:11 #413 Bracelet to match the ladies' birthday clips.
00:20:13 #414 Your clips, Sharpie.
00:20:15 #415 They've been gnawing at my conscience.
00:20:17 #416 I had to think of something myself
00:20:19 #417 or I wouldn't have enjoyed a moment of the trip.
00:20:21 #418 So you're really going?
00:20:23 #419 I have to, Sharpie. I have to.
00:20:25 #420 I haven't been myself lately.
00:20:27 #421 I have to. I haven't been myself lately.
00:20:30 #422 I've been somebody else.
00:20:31 #423 You're not telling me anything.
00:20:32 #424 I haven't got so lately. I'm suspicious of everybody.
00:20:35 #425 Well, I'm suspicious of you, Sharpie.
00:20:37 #426 I'm even suspicious of myself.
00:20:39 #427 I've heard to agree myself.
00:20:41 #428 I've put myself on the stand.
00:20:43 #429 I find myself turning around quickly
00:20:45 #430 to see if I'm the man I think I am.
00:20:48 #431 What did you say to that, Sharpie?
00:20:49 #432 I'd say you weren't going away a moment too soon.
00:20:52 #433 All right, Sharpie. You're always right.
00:20:54 #434 So I'm going. The moment I go out of this office,
00:20:56 #435 I'm gone you understand and you don't know where to find me yes Mr. Kirk no Mr.
00:21:05 #436 Kirk he's not in the office I see a murder I imagine it must be sensational of
00:21:13 #437 course I know yes Mr. Kirk if you should come in I have him call you immediately
00:21:18 #438 goodbye and don't call me sharpie since you have on your soul shopping I'd run
00:21:25 #439 if I were you. I'm running. Thanks shopping.
00:21:29 #440 Why thanks I didn't think you had that much sense if I'm not being too
00:21:34 #441 important. Sorry Mr Stowell's not in the office and I don't know where to find
00:21:46 #442 him. Oh the police headquarters I'm sure it must be very important but I have no
00:21:54 #443 idea where to find him. So sorry so very sorry goodbye sorry he's not here
00:22:09 #444 Captain. Oh the Macallan murder. That is important. But I don't know where to reach
00:22:18 #445 him you see Mr. Stone's gone away on a vacation. So sorry so very sorry goodbye.
00:22:26 #446 Oh Sharpie where's the chief. I have the faintest idea I've got to get a hold of
00:22:45 #447 him Dr. Show Macallan just shot his wife Oh indeed.
00:22:49 #448 Well it's the biggest thing that's broken around here in years you know
00:22:51 #449 The Pittsburgh McAllen's. Millionaires.
00:22:53 #450 He teaches up at the university.
00:22:54 #451 I'm sorry, Mr. Kirk, but Mr. Stowell is away on a vacation.
00:22:58 #452 Well, he can't have gone very far. He was here half hour ago.
00:23:00 #453 I know, but he was moving mighty fast.
00:23:02 #454 Yes, Lieutenant, what can I do for you?
00:23:04 #455 I wondered if you had located Mr. Stowell yet.
00:23:06 #456 He's gone.
00:23:07 #457 Sharpie says he's gone on a vacation.
00:23:08 #458 Oh, that's too bad.
00:23:09 #459 The bringing McAllen over here, I figured Jim would want to question him.
00:23:12 #460 He won't open his mouth.
00:23:13 #461 Well, I'll question him. What did you pick up, Fred?
00:23:14 #462 Oh, the same old story.
00:23:16 #463 He was crazy about her and found her with another man.
00:23:19 #464 You know, I remember something about her.
00:23:20 #465 about her didn't his family kick him out when he married without a sense.
00:23:38 #466 I think I'll be going now if you gentlemen don't mind.
00:23:41 #467 See if you locate the chief. Now Mr. McAllen.
00:23:58 #468 Lock up when they're all through pinkie and put. Okay sharpie.
00:24:04 #469 I want to be a moment job I left something in my office.
00:24:23 #470 And you remember nothing Dr. McAllen but you shot well enough to kill
00:24:27 #471 A precise, deadly shot, Dr. McCallan.
00:24:30 #472 Are you sure you don't remember that?
00:24:33 #473 Your silence has no point, Dr. McCallan.
00:24:35 #474 When you shot to kill, when your gun spoke, you spoke.
00:24:38 #475 It's too late now for silence, Dr. McCallan.
00:24:41 #476 You're an educated man.
00:24:42 #477 You know, men have been shooting fateless wives
00:24:45 #478 since time began.
00:24:46 #479 Oh, no, Mr. Kirk.
00:24:47 #480 Just a moment, if you please.
00:24:51 #481 Gentlemen, if you'll be kind enough,
00:24:53 #482 I'd like to be alone with Dr. McCallan for a moment.
00:24:56 #483 I can imagine the strain he's been under.
00:25:00 #484 Would you be kind enough to leave us alone for a moment?
00:25:02 #485 Okay, Chief. Thank you.
00:25:04 #486 I'm sorry, Dr. McGallum. We've been so inconsiderate.
00:25:14 #487 Sometimes my men allow their ambitions to run away with it.
00:25:25 #488 You better sit down, honey, and rest your feet.
00:25:27 #489 I caught myself doing that once on a way.
00:25:30 #490 And I was wore out for a whole week.
00:25:33 #491 Now that's bad. You may not never get over it.
00:25:37 #492 It'll do you good to get the whole thing off your chest.
00:25:43 #493 There's no use of talking, Mr. Stone.
00:25:46 #494 There's no use of anything now.
00:25:48 #495 You like cigarette?
00:26:03 #496 I've been very good, Brenda.
00:26:08 #497 I don't want you to talk if you don't feel like it.
00:26:10 #498 I just want you to know we're not monsters here.
00:26:12 #499 We're just human beings like yourself.
00:26:15 #500 They can do what they want with me.
00:26:18 #501 It doesn't matter anymore.
00:26:20 #502 Nobody's going to do anything to you, Dr. Macalmyne.
00:26:23 #503 I'm not trying to hide anything.
00:26:26 #504 I shot my wife.
00:26:28 #505 I killed her.
00:26:33 #506 like a dream. I suppose it all happened suddenly. Only this afternoon, only a few hours ago.
00:26:46 #507 I was leaving home for class when I realized it was raining. I went back from my raincoat.
00:26:52 #508 It was then I saw her. Saw her sitting in her room before the mirror. Never had she seemed so beautiful.
00:27:01 #509 Sitting there in the dark with only the two small lights on her dressing table burning.
00:27:05 #510 and powdering her neck and shoulders,
00:27:08 #511 smiling and humming, happy with herself.
00:27:13 #512 Now that she seems so beautiful as at that moment,
00:27:17 #513 with a mirror light shining up on her face,
00:27:20 #514 and the rain beating on the window behind her.
00:27:24 #515 All husbands have moments like that?
00:27:28 #516 And at that moment, I realized how terribly I neglected her.
00:27:32 #517 I know it sounds horrible now,
00:27:34 #518 but it was for her sake I neglected her.
00:27:36 #519 For her sake, I worked, studied.
00:27:38 #520 I wanted her to have good things, and we were poor.
00:27:42 #521 Very poor.
00:27:43 #522 I understand.
00:27:45 #523 You watched your wife before the mirror.
00:27:48 #524 And as I watched her, I said to myself,
00:27:49 #525 I would never neglect to rake in.
00:27:52 #526 And then I...
00:27:54 #527 Then I tipped her across the room to the dressing table.
00:27:57 #528 With her honey, she didn't hear me.
00:27:59 #529 I leaned down quickly and kissed her.
00:28:03 #530 Instantly.
00:28:04 #531 The moment I kissed her, she shivered.
00:28:08 #532 Her flesh became goose-pinty as we called.
00:28:12 #533 I saw her face in the mirror looking up at me,
00:28:15 #534 and all its happiness was gone.
00:28:18 #535 And on it was a look of revulsion.
00:28:21 #536 I was speechless, stunned.
00:28:23 #537 I see. I see.
00:28:26 #538 The Japanese have an expression.
00:28:28 #539 A woman tells the truth to her mirror.
00:28:31 #540 And then she recovered and looked up at me and laughed and said,
00:28:34 #541 You should know better than to ruin a lady's makeup.
00:28:38 #542 She began to powder the spot on her neck where I'd kissed her.
00:28:42 #543 And she got to her feet and kissed me on the cheek.
00:28:46 #544 I got her on the lawn.
00:28:47 #545 She said, I'm playing bridge at Sonya's.
00:28:49 #546 I'll see you for dinner.
00:28:51 #547 She ran out.
00:28:54 #548 I stood still speechless.
00:28:57 #549 I watched her go.
00:29:04 #550 And that was how it began.
00:29:07 #551 My brain was on fire.
00:29:09 #552 I was sure there was only one explanation.
00:29:12 #553 She was making herself beautiful for some man.
00:29:14 #554 And she was going to him, she wasn't going to Sonia's.
00:29:17 #555 I followed her in the rain.
00:29:19 #556 And what finally happened to MacGillan?
00:29:21 #557 I killed her.
00:29:22 #558 I know, but the circumstances.
00:29:24 #559 It's all unreal to me.
00:29:25 #560 All blood.
00:29:27 #561 I was blind, insane.
00:29:29 #562 I saw her into the house.
00:29:31 #563 I went to a window.
00:29:33 #564 I saw her run into a man's arms.
00:29:36 #565 Little fire in my brain became a fury.
00:29:39 #566 I didn't realize I'd drawn the gun.
00:29:41 #567 I didn't realize I'd fired.
00:29:44 #568 until I saw a body crumble to the floor.
00:29:47 #569 And then I knew I'd killed her.
00:29:50 #570 In that instant I knew I'd lost forever the one thing
00:29:54 #571 in the world I loved.
00:29:57 #572 It's my fault.
00:30:00 #573 My stupidity.
00:30:02 #574 My neglect.
00:30:03 #575 Better get him out of here.
00:30:16 #576 Lipses if you'll have to give him a lip.
00:30:18 #577 And I'll let you go.
00:30:20 #578 Then I have the doctor give him a shot or something
00:30:22 #579 and sleep will do him good.
00:30:24 #580 Did you get it recorded?
00:30:25 #581 Yes, sir, every word of it. It's right there.
00:30:27 #582 We've got a written transcription, too.
00:30:29 #583 We'll send him to the chair.
00:30:30 #584 Did you ever hear such a fairy tale in your life?
00:30:33 #585 Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:30:35 #586 The Kiss Before the Mirror.
00:30:37 #587 I don't know, Chief.
00:30:38 #588 You know, that's the way things like that sometimes start.
00:30:40 #589 Oh, you should be smarter, Kirk.
00:30:41 #590 His emotional upset fooled you.
00:30:43 #591 Well, that was genuine enough.
00:30:45 #592 But the Kiss Before the Mirror story, ha, ha,
00:30:47 #593 that's something else again.
00:30:49 #594 Wait till a jury hears it.
00:30:50 #595 With the proper commentary, but the prosecution, I mean.
00:30:53 #596 You want a transfer to Sylvia?
00:30:54 #597 No, no, no, I like it flat. I can play the whole thing through then.
00:30:57 #598 I think I'll take it home and lock it up. Keep this quiet.
00:31:01 #599 The McAllen family will probably leap to the rescue with their millions now the wife is out of the way.
00:31:06 #600 And by tomorrow they'll have all the legal brains and the country line up against this.
00:31:10 #601 They'll repudiate the confession. They'll repudiate it all right.
00:31:14 #602 But if we don't mention it, they won't worry about it.
00:31:16 #603 That is until we spring it.
00:31:19 #604 And I have an idea something can be made of it at the right time.
00:31:22 #605 It's going to be a battle, I won't say a word.
00:31:26 #606 Oh, you wanted this.
00:31:27 #607 Ha.
00:31:29 #608 Oh, and something else.
00:31:33 #609 I forgot this earlier.
00:31:35 #610 Ha.
00:31:37 #611 A message, John?
00:32:41 #612 Yes, I got it, Jim.
00:32:43 #613 I'm sorry.
00:32:44 #614 Terribly sorry.
00:32:45 #615 But I couldn't find the double, is it?
00:32:46 #616 Yes, I imagine it'll be a sensational case
00:32:49 #617 of other convictions.
00:32:50 #618 Oh, it isn't that.
00:32:51 #619 I'd be shirking my job if I went away now.
00:32:53 #620 Believe me. That's funny.
00:32:58 #621 The kiss before the mirror.
00:32:59 #622 What's funny?
00:33:00 #623 Nothing.
00:33:01 #624 Nothing for your pretty ears.
00:33:03 #625 I was just reminded of a little story I heard today.
00:33:06 #626 Tomorrow to defend MacAllan, famous criminal lawyer
00:33:17 #627 engages family rallies to Professor Zade.
00:33:20 #628 So they've hired Dave Morrill.
00:33:22 #629 And MacAllan millions begin to talk.
00:33:25 #630 Believe me, they'll have to talk pretty loud.
00:33:27 #631 Boys down the seat, they'll understand
00:33:28 #632 he'd buy his way out.
00:33:29 #633 I'd like to see someone try it.
00:33:32 #634 This is one case I'm going through with to the limit.
00:33:35 #635 I can understand some bow-hungful of fools on a Saturday night,
00:33:38 #636 cracking another mug skull over a crap game,
00:33:41 #637 but these polite, sensitive murderers,
00:33:43 #638 these sofisticates like McGallan deserved no quarrel,
00:33:46 #639 and they'll get none from me.
00:33:48 #640 Imagine a responsible, intelligent, educated man
00:33:51 #641 killing another man.
00:33:52 #642 Oh, I've never known a lot of men I'd like to kill.
00:33:54 #643 Oh, I'm serious, Dan.
00:33:56 #644 You wouldn't do it, I wouldn't do it.
00:33:58 #645 And the last thing either of us would ever think of doing
00:34:00 #646 is killing a woman.
00:34:01 #647 Crimes of passion, psychologists call them.
00:34:05 #648 Clams of decadence, I call them.
00:34:06 #649 Luxuries, endosances.
00:34:08 #650 Yes?
00:34:10 #651 How you say?
00:34:10 #652 Send it in.
00:34:12 #653 Well, Jim, I've got a run.
00:34:14 #654 One thing is certain anyhow.
00:34:16 #655 This time you've got the people back of you.
00:34:18 #656 So now you've been picking on the rank and file
00:34:20 #657 those mugs and bull hunks you mentioned, the mazes.
00:34:23 #658 Now you've bagged a highbrow a million there.
00:34:26 #659 And if you do you a lot of good, Jim,
00:34:28 #660 then awful lot of good. All righty.
00:34:30 #661 Well, how do you do, sir? Come on in. I'm on the way out.
00:34:32 #662 Goodbye, Jim, and good luck.
00:34:34 #663 Well, he had a permit for the gun all right.
00:34:37 #664 Seems he used to walk back and forth to his classes.
00:34:39 #665 And there have been a lot of hold-ups along through there after dark.
00:34:41 #666 And he got the gun for protection.
00:34:43 #667 But I don't know what a guy like that would do with a gun if someone held him up.
00:34:46 #668 He could use a gun all right. That's the late Mrs. McAllen.
00:34:50 #669 And in use of the other man?
00:34:52 #670 Man, he's completely not a sign of a trace of him. He was just a lodger there.
00:34:55 #671 Suppose McAllen knew this man. Suppose the whole thing was framed.
00:34:58 #672 I don't believe McAllen could frame anything.
00:35:01 #673 a frame anything I've had a rule on my life. Never take any human being for granted
00:35:08 #674 just think what getting rid of his wife would mean. His family is for giving us
00:35:14 #675 return to the security of millions a chance to follow his studies and comfort
00:35:19 #676 what is the professor of any way political science I remember see what an opportunity
00:35:24 #677 this man would offer it's truly neglected every said so himself and why didn't
00:35:28 #678 he kill the man that's what a man usually does kills both of them but not a
00:35:31 #679 a professor of political science. I was just telling Dan Ellison
00:35:36 #680 Macallan one of those sensitive murderers consider that fancy tale of his
00:35:41 #681 but kiss before the mirror it's raining out he comes back for his raincoat
00:35:46 #682 sees his wife kisses her she laughs suddenly he sees red
00:35:53 #683 my brain was on fire I was sure there was only one explanation she was making
00:35:58 #684 herself beautiful for some man and she was going to him she wasn't going
00:36:02 #685 years I followed her in the rain and what finally happened to him I killed her I know
00:36:07 #686 but the circumstances it's all unreal to me all blood I was blind and saying I saw
00:36:15 #687 her into the house I went to a window I saw her run into a man's arms fire and I
00:36:22 #688 pray became a fury I didn't realize I'd drawn the gun I didn't realize I'd
00:36:28 #689 I'm not tired of it.
00:36:29 #690 Until I saw a body crumble to the floor.
00:36:32 #691 And then I knew I'd killed her.
00:36:35 #692 In that instant, I knew I'd lost forever the one thing
00:36:38 #693 in the world I loved.
00:36:40 #694 This is my fault.
00:36:42 #695 My stupidity.
00:36:56 #696 Oh, hello, Phil.
00:36:57 #697 Hello, Lucy.
00:37:00 #698 Say, what's the matter with you?
00:37:02 #699 Look, as if you'd seen a ghost.
00:37:03 #700 A ghost?
00:37:04 #701 Well, maybe not a ghost, but a boogie man, anyway.
00:37:06 #702 Oh, no, I've just been sort of moping around.
00:37:08 #703 No, only now, what's the matter?
00:37:10 #704 Nothing. Nothing to see the early summer evenings, I suppose.
00:37:13 #705 I'm afraid I'm a little weepy every now and then, Phil.
00:37:16 #706 I'm also afraid I enjoy it.
00:37:18 #707 First place you shouldn't sit in the dark.
00:37:21 #708 And don't give me that sad business about these early summer evenings.
00:37:25 #709 Your trips been called up. That's it, isn't it? That's it. Sit down, Phil.
00:37:31 #710 I know. It's a tough break all the way around.
00:37:33 #711 You know, Lucy, Dr. McGallan was my prof in political science at the university.
00:37:37 #712 He was a great little man.
00:37:38 #713 I imagine he was.
00:37:40 #714 He's like a child, so lovable and simple.
00:37:43 #715 Everybody at the university knew about his wife, except him.
00:37:47 #716 I wonder how he came to find it out.
00:37:49 #717 Let's ground the terrace.
00:37:52 #718 It's so close in here.
00:38:00 #719 This fresh air is better.
00:38:01 #720 You sure you feel all right?
00:38:03 #721 Oh, yes, I'm all right.
00:38:04 #722 Well, it was Dr. McGann and I came over to talk about it.
00:38:10 #723 Perhaps I better let it go.
00:38:12 #724 You seem to have enough, Father.
00:38:13 #725 Oh, go ahead, Phil.
00:38:14 #726 I'm fine now.
00:38:15 #727 Well, Lucy, it's just that I'd like
00:38:17 #728 to see the poor gent get some sort of a break.
00:38:19 #729 I guess there's no doubt he's shatter,
00:38:20 #730 But, well, I thought if Jim knew what a terrible woman she was,
00:38:25 #731 and what a sweet little man he is, it might help.
00:38:28 #732 He might be lenient anyway.
00:38:30 #733 And I thought if you could...
00:38:32 #734 If I could speak to Jim?
00:38:33 #735 Yes, Lucy, if you could, because I could never do it.
00:38:35 #736 It'd be a waste of time, Phil.
00:38:37 #737 Well, I thought knowing Dr. Macallan...
00:38:39 #738 I know, but there's nothing you can do and we can do.
00:38:42 #739 When Jim gets on a case like this, he's different.
00:38:45 #740 He's a stranger.
00:38:46 #741 His job becomes a mania with him.
00:38:48 #742 I don't know him. I don't understand him.
00:38:51 #743 I'm even afraid of him.
00:38:53 #744 I'm really sorry I mentioned this.
00:38:55 #745 Well, I guess the business matters that sounds, Phil.
00:38:57 #746 Jim's always thoughtful and gracious with me.
00:38:59 #747 It's just that other side of him.
00:39:01 #748 I understand perfectly. That's a tough right to use, then.
00:39:04 #749 I'm sorry I bothered you.
00:39:06 #750 I wish I could be of help.
00:39:07 #751 Well, I wish I could be of some help to you, Lucy.
00:39:09 #752 And when Jim is off on one of those cases,
00:39:12 #753 you know. I mean, whenever you need some laughs,
00:39:14 #754 why, give me a ring, will you?
00:39:15 #755 Oh, thanks, Phil.
00:39:17 #756 Whenever I feel like I need some laughs, I'll do that.
00:39:21 #757 How's Liz?
00:39:22 #758 Oh, fine, fine.
00:39:23 #759 But she's ambitious as the devil.
00:39:25 #760 She wants me to get a job right now.
00:39:26 #761 I'll discuss it.
00:39:27 #762 It's terrible.
00:39:29 #763 She wants me to give up my boyhood.
00:39:31 #764 Well, I've got to go.
00:39:32 #765 Good night, Phil.
00:39:33 #766 Good night, Lizzie.
00:39:36 #767 Oh, I didn't know you were here, Jim.
00:39:45 #768 How long have you been home?
00:39:46 #769 Just a few minutes.
00:39:47 #770 After a walk.
00:39:48 #771 No, Phil's up, though.
00:39:49 #772 But we've been out on the terrace, talking.
00:39:51 #773 Phil likes the dark, too.
00:39:53 #774 Writing poetry, I suppose.
00:39:54 #775 Oh, no.
00:39:55 #776 So what of our young realist?
00:39:57 #777 He lived this sort of poetry, though?
00:39:59 #778 Limerick's, I imagine.
00:40:00 #779 No, popular songs. Gay ones, right?
00:40:04 #780 How's Elizabeth?
00:40:07 #781 Oh, she's fine.
00:40:08 #782 Phil says she's ambitious as the devil.
00:40:10 #783 She wants him to give up his boyhood.
00:40:12 #784 He couldn't mean his childhood, could he?
00:40:15 #785 What's the matter with you, champ?
00:40:17 #786 Huh.
00:40:18 #787 Pa, talking like that, you like Phil, don't you?
00:40:21 #788 You always have.
00:40:23 #789 Of course I like Phil.
00:40:25 #790 It's just my evil nature, darling.
00:40:28 #791 I was so disappointed not to find you here.
00:40:30 #792 I'm afraid I'm old-fashioned.
00:40:33 #793 I want my woman in the house when I come home.
00:40:35 #794 What's gotten into you, Jim? I was here.
00:40:37 #795 Yes, I know.
00:40:39 #796 I guess it was just when I found you here with Phil I was...
00:40:42 #797 You don't mean jealous to me.
00:40:43 #798 No, not jealous.
00:40:45 #799 Envious.
00:40:47 #800 I envy him.
00:40:49 #801 I envy anybody who has a single moment of your time.
00:40:53 #802 I ended your eyes, your voice, your presence.
00:40:56 #803 I even ended in your shadow.
00:40:59 #804 Do you know the other morning when you told me
00:41:01 #805 you had some wild dream you had that night?
00:41:03 #806 Are you going to a masquerade and I wasn't there?
00:41:05 #807 Do you know I was furious?
00:41:07 #808 Furious because I wasn't there in your dream?
00:41:09 #809 Furious with all the people who were?
00:41:12 #810 I can say anything about it, but it wasn't until I got
00:41:15 #811 to the office that I was in South again.
00:41:17 #812 Sharp is right, Jim. You are going crazy.
00:41:21 #813 I want to worship up your donkey.
00:41:23 #814 I don't think they had some idea like that.
00:42:04 #815 More coffee? Like what?
00:42:05 #816 No, darling.
00:42:07 #817 Right, right. Using the family millions on me.
00:42:10 #818 I'm sure they know you better than that.
00:42:12 #819 Well, they're spending plenty of the tears.
00:42:14 #820 You want another waffle, Mr. Stowell?
00:42:16 #821 No thanks.
00:42:17 #822 You, Mr. Stowell?
00:42:18 #823 If I eat another waffle, Creole, I'd turn into one. You eat it.
00:42:21 #824 Oh, I can't. I've died.
00:42:23 #825 A waffle or two won't make any difference.
00:42:25 #826 Oh, I've died for my fidget.
00:42:28 #827 I've died for my mind.
00:42:30 #828 The doctor said, if I didn't eat no more starch,
00:42:33 #829 it would take the fat off my head
00:42:35 #830 and I'd improve my mind.
00:42:37 #831 That's the telephone, isn't it?
00:42:40 #832 Yes.
00:42:41 #833 I'll keep it.
00:42:42 #834 Well, she certainly can cook.
00:42:45 #835 That's more than most of them can do.
00:42:47 #836 Hello?
00:42:48 #837 Yes, sir.
00:42:49 #838 Boy, I'm fine.
00:42:50 #839 Oh, that ain't no trouble at all.
00:42:52 #840 She's right here.
00:42:54 #841 Yes, Mr. Filth, it's you, ma'am.
00:42:56 #842 He called you last night, but you wasn't eating.
00:42:59 #843 Yes, sir.
00:43:00 #844 Oh, look what you did. You didn't bother me at all.
00:43:03 #845 Yes?
00:43:04 #846 Oh, yes.
00:43:08 #847 We'll drop over this.
00:43:10 #848 I'll see you then.
00:43:12 #849 Bye-bye.
00:43:14 #850 Oh, excuse me, ma'am.
00:43:18 #851 Miss, I still have another quarrel. I think it's coming for quite some time.
00:43:24 #852 Lucy, I wonder if you'd do something for me.
00:43:27 #853 Oh, it's nothing, but it might be exaggerated into something.
00:43:30 #854 Phil is chairman of the university committee to help McGowan, isn't he?
00:43:33 #855 Yes, that's one of the things he and Miss Prorot about.
00:43:35 #856 She said it took up too much of his time.
00:43:36 #857 Well, you can see with rumors about like this.
00:43:40 #858 Privary and so on.
00:43:42 #859 It might be just as well to keep away from film
00:43:44 #860 and laugh at the trial.
00:43:46 #861 You understand, don't you?
00:43:47 #862 Seems a little silly, somehow.
00:43:49 #863 Afferences can be awfully important.
00:43:53 #864 If I sound like one of those husbands
00:43:56 #865 you'll have to forgive me.
00:43:57 #866 Goodbye, darling.
00:43:59 #867 Goodbye, Jim.
00:44:00 #868 No, Dave, the job was premeditated.
00:44:09 #869 And I'm pretty sure I can prove it in court.
00:44:11 #870 Aren't you going just a little bit out of your way, Jim?
00:44:14 #871 I'm not just talking as a discerning when I say that he was not in his right mind.
00:44:17 #872 I know. You're just talking as an old friend.
00:44:20 #873 Now, I've defended many criminals.
00:44:21 #874 And if MacAllan's one, I'm giving up the profession.
00:44:24 #875 Believe me, if ever a man was insane, he was.
00:44:27 #876 So it's insanity again, Dave.
00:44:29 #877 I suppose you've got your battery of psychologists and experts all lined up.
00:44:34 #878 When they get through you have McGowan fixed up so mad that you'll be asking us to believe that was his wife who shot him
00:44:41 #879 cigarette now
00:44:42 #880 That's it. The man was really crazy. It's the only possible explanation if you keep on none of us will be responsible for anything
00:44:48 #881 We'll do what we like. We'll steal kill anything
00:44:52 #882 The police catch up with us. We'll just go out and hire someone as smart as you to prove it crazy
00:44:57 #883 That is if we have the money
00:44:59 #884 I'll give up my fee if you'll play ball.
00:45:02 #885 Change the indictment to manslaughter.
00:45:04 #886 With a recommendation for clemency.
00:45:06 #887 And we'll close the case.
00:45:08 #888 No, Dave, can't do it.
00:45:10 #889 Not in one of these jobs as I see it.
00:45:12 #890 A man who murders, regardless of the circumstances,
00:45:15 #891 is already a criminal at heart.
00:45:17 #892 Oh, forget the job this time.
00:45:19 #893 A gallon's a human being, and the most helpless human being I've ever come across.
00:45:23 #894 You ought to go over there and take a look at him.
00:45:25 #895 I get it now, Dave.
00:45:27 #896 You're just giving me the human interest.
00:45:29 #897 No, no, no, Jim. This is no trick.
00:45:31 #898 Attorney McAllen is just a man like the rest of us.
00:45:35 #899 A man who is madly in love with his wife and blind jealousy.
00:45:39 #900 Why, what's happened to him might have happened to any of us.
00:45:41 #901 Might have happened to me or to you.
00:45:43 #902 Stop your kidding, Dave.
00:45:45 #903 See you in court.
00:45:49 #904 He loves it if you'd pen these ears back.
00:45:51 #905 Well, that looks foolish, sir.
00:45:53 #906 I'm not a tough and wily gentleman.
00:45:55 #907 fight on our hands. You send two dozen long same road to
00:46:00 #908 the store right away. Any cards any special sentiments no just
00:46:05 #909 for me their conference flowers are you sure to dozen will be
00:46:09 #910 enough to dozen will be plenty. Here's Kurt. Tomorrow going to be
00:46:16 #911 tough. When I send his psychologist and expert screaming back to the end of
00:46:20 #912 when I get through them.
00:46:22 #913 When will I spring that confession?
00:46:26 #914 A kiss before the mirror.
00:46:58 #915 You admit then that you neglected your wife.
00:47:01 #916 You sold it all up.
00:47:02 #917 You were too busy with your humanitarian studies.
00:47:05 #918 Your plan for a better world.
00:47:08 #919 I must ask you again to answer yes or no.
00:47:12 #920 Yes.
00:47:13 #921 Thank you.
00:47:15 #922 Did your plan for a better world include
00:47:17 #923 I think you better consider a room for your wife.
00:47:20 #924 I object, your honor.
00:47:21 #925 The pressure is here.
00:47:22 #926 I don't need a dinner here.
00:47:23 #927 Thank you, sustained.
00:47:24 #928 Mr. Cassando, please control his dark energy.
00:47:28 #929 You are a professor of political science at the university.
00:47:30 #930 Is that right?
00:47:31 #931 Yes.
00:47:32 #932 Your students loved you, like your courses.
00:47:36 #933 I think so.
00:47:37 #934 You spent a great deal of your time with them,
00:47:39 #935 long hours after class, and in the evening.
00:47:42 #936 Yes.
00:47:43 #937 And when your students were not with you,
00:47:45 #938 Your work was with you.
00:47:47 #939 Night and day.
00:47:48 #940 Is that not right, Dr. McCallum?
00:47:50 #941 Yes.
00:47:52 #942 How long would you say, Dr. McCallum?
00:47:54 #943 How long was it before your wife's death
00:47:57 #944 that you took her out to say to dinner, to a party, to the theater?
00:48:01 #945 I object, Your Honor.
00:48:03 #946 The question is your honor.
00:48:04 #947 The action overruled.
00:48:05 #948 This will return and they continue.
00:48:07 #949 How long, Dr.?
00:48:08 #950 A month?
00:48:09 #951 Two months?
00:48:10 #952 Three months?
00:48:12 #953 About three months.
00:48:14 #954 This, then, is the woman you loved.
00:48:17 #955 This woman you did not think enough of
00:48:19 #956 to be a companion to in her ordinary life.
00:48:21 #957 This woman you left to weep her heart out
00:48:24 #958 in her own loneliness.
00:48:25 #959 This is the woman you say you loved with a passion
00:48:28 #960 when a madness had drove you to kill?
00:48:30 #961 I am sexer! I am sexer! Order! Order!
00:48:33 #962 Please, get out of here! Please, please! Order!
00:48:38 #963 Human paper, ma'am.
00:48:39 #964 Mac Allen collapsed his own witness, then.
00:48:41 #965 Thank you, Crale.
00:48:42 #966 You're welcome.
00:48:44 #967 Crack, set the two-hour grill by district attorney Stowe.
00:48:53 #968 Hello.
00:48:55 #969 It's the telephone, ma'am.
00:48:57 #970 Who is it, ma'am?
00:48:59 #971 It's for you, ma'am.
00:49:09 #972 Yes?
00:49:10 #973 Oh, yes.
00:49:11 #974 Oh, yes, yes.
00:49:12 #975 I'll be over as soon as I can.
00:50:03 #976 I didn't expect you home so early.
00:50:06 #977 I've had one of those days. Yes, I know.
00:50:08 #978 I read it in the paper.
00:50:10 #979 It's out of a Roman holiday, wasn't it?
00:50:12 #980 You shouldn't read the papers, Lucy.
00:50:15 #981 And not for your pretty eyes.
00:50:21 #982 Jim, nothing, Jim.
00:50:25 #983 I have to go to Elizabeth's for a few minutes.
00:50:29 #984 I wish you didn't have to go out to night, Lucy.
00:50:32 #985 I'm sorry, Jim, but I have to.
00:50:34 #986 I'll be back before dinner.
00:51:39 #987 I leaned down quickly and kissed her instantly.
00:51:44 #988 The moment I kissed her, she shivered.
00:51:48 #989 Her flesh became goose-pimpy as it cold.
00:51:52 #990 I saw her face in the mirror looking up at me,
00:51:55 #991 but all its happiness was gone.
00:51:58 #992 On it was a local real lousy.
00:52:31 #993 What Jim.
00:52:32 #994 Hello Lucy here.
00:52:34 #995 No Jim I something about it.
00:52:36 #996 No I just want to speak to her.
00:52:39 #997 I'm sorry no bother to lose it's nothing.
00:52:41 #998 Well come on in Jim I expect you're on waiting for now.
00:52:44 #999 No thank you Elizabeth.
00:52:47 #1000 I've got to go on I just wanted to say something to her.
00:52:51 #1001 See you later.
00:52:52 #1002 Or else they can it will drive.
00:53:03 #1003 Wait here for you Mr.
00:53:15 #1004 You better not wait.
00:53:20 #1005 Beautiful for some man.
00:53:54 #1006 She was going to him, she wasn't going to Sonya.
00:53:57 #1007 I followed her in a ring.
00:53:59 #1008 Oh, I'm losing her.
00:54:03 #1009 I was blind, insane.
00:54:05 #1010 I saw her into the house.
00:54:07 #1011 I went to a window.
00:54:09 #1012 I saw her run into a man's arms.
00:54:12 #1013 The fire of my pain became a fury.
00:54:15 #1014 I didn't realize I'd drawn the gun.
00:54:17 #1015 the gun I didn't realize I'd find it.
00:54:20 #1016 But I saw a body crumble to the floor
00:54:23 #1017 and then I knew I'd killed him.
00:54:27 #1018 In that instant I knew I'd lost forever the one being in the world I loved.
00:54:34 #1019 My fault.
00:54:36 #1020 My stupidity.
00:54:38 #1021 My neglect.
00:54:42 #1022 The office is terribly important.
00:56:54 #1023 I can get someone to stay with me here.
00:59:53 #1024 of the present indictment in the form in which it was returned in its form and in
00:59:58 #1025 its intention. This request is quite unusual but I beg your honor to believe
01:00:04 #1026 it has nonetheless been most carefully considered. The jury will please retire.
01:00:10 #1027 What's the matter with Stoll today? Can't figure it out unless he's got a new
01:00:20 #1028 way. He looks as if he's ill. I do hope nothing's happened to him. This is the only day I can come.
01:00:26 #1029 He's worried for something out of his sleeve.
01:00:28 #1030 The state has come to the belief
01:00:32 #1031 that the indictment of murder brought against the defendant in this case
01:00:36 #1032 was not fairly unjustly conceived.
01:00:38 #1033 The attorney for the state has come to the belief
01:00:43 #1034 that he acted without premeditation.
01:00:46 #1035 If it pleased the court,
01:00:50 #1036 the state recommends that this indictment of murder be amended to a charge of manslaughter.
01:00:57 #1037 This is a serious recommendation.
01:01:10 #1038 May the court ask what consideration led the attorney for the state so to change his conviction?
01:01:15 #1039 An unusual consideration.
01:01:17 #1040 Since the adjournment of court yesterday, he has had experience with a case that...
01:01:22 #1041 ...to a great extent parallels this.
01:01:25 #1042 In fact, he is extraordinarily similar to it.
01:01:29 #1043 And his findings in that case have urged him to reconsider this.
01:01:34 #1044 To realize this, especially in view of rumors that have been afoot.
01:01:40 #1045 The grave charges he leaves himself open to in making this recommendation, but...
01:01:45 #1046 But he implores the court to believe that there are unimaginable moments when a man...
01:01:50 #1047 A poor, weak man...
01:01:53 #1048 Jealous, blind, frantic...
01:01:56 #1049 May kill the one he loves more than anyone...
01:01:59 #1050 More than anything on earth.
01:02:02 #1051 May kill her by some strange, tragic perversity...
01:02:05 #1052 and in killing her condemned himself to a life of sorrow and regret.
01:02:11 #1053 And that, not death, is his punishment.
01:02:15 #1054 And believe him, Your Honor, it can be a terrible one.
01:02:19 #1055 I see. I see.
01:02:32 #1056 Please have the jury returned.
01:02:35 #1057 Mac-Ellen murder trial was startled into an uproar today by District Attorney Stowell.
01:02:42 #1058 stole in a scene of unprecedented excitement the Mac Allen trial came to an
01:02:46 #1059 abrupt and dramatic close today district attorney stole asked the court that the
01:02:50 #1060 first degree murder charge be withdrawn what I looked at if you're finally getting
01:02:59 #1061 away on that trip missus so well you should hear miss so well miss so well
01:03:12 #1062 just let that Mac Allen man go he let him go he has something like that you just
01:03:16 #1063 come on in and miss him miss so well.
01:03:19 #1064 the spectators and the court by asking if the first degree murder charge be dismissed.
01:03:23 #1065 The jury following Judge Forbes instructions immediately returned the verdict of manslaughter
01:03:28 #1066 with a recommendation for clemency.
01:03:29 #1067 The penalty calls for from 10 to 20 years.
01:03:32 #1068 District Attorney Stowell has blankly refused all further discussion of the case.
01:03:37 #1069 We will now continue with our regular program.
01:03:39 #1070 I thought so they were going to electrify him.
01:03:42 #1071 Thank you, Priola.
01:03:43 #1072 I learned a lot just sitting here on my feet all improving my mind.
01:04:21 #1073 I saw drinks outside.
01:04:24 #1074 I know it's too late for regrets, Lucy.
01:04:27 #1075 I've been mad.
01:04:28 #1076 Mad.
01:04:29 #1077 There's no other word for it.
01:04:31 #1078 No other explanation of my selfishness and stupidity.
01:04:36 #1079 You've always been generous, Lucy.
01:04:38 #1080 And before you go, I'm going to ask you
01:04:41 #1081 one last great kindness.
01:04:44 #1082 Won't you let me start all over again?
01:04:46 #1083 Not here in this house, not as your husband.
01:04:50 #1084 Not even as an old friend.
01:04:52 #1085 But just as if we'd only met.
01:04:55 #1086 Strangers.
01:04:57 #1087 Meeting for the first time.
01:05:00 #1088 Like that first snowy day in New Haven.
01:05:03 #1089 And let me try to win you.
01:05:05 #1090 To win you back.
01:05:07 #1091 I don't know, Jennifer.
01:05:09 #1092 When you walked out last night, it seemed that you
01:05:12 #1093 had jobbed.
01:05:14 #1094 Prosecutor had won.
01:05:15 #1095 Believe me, Lucy, I didn't know.
01:05:18 #1096 I didn't realize what had happened
01:05:20 #1097 between us until yesterday when I saw you sitting before the mirror.
01:05:25 #1098 When you kissed me.
01:05:26 #1099 Yes, when I came home.
01:05:28 #1100 I hated you then.
01:05:30 #1101 I just read your course examination of MacAllen and how he collapsed on the witness
01:05:35 #1102 stand. You seem to be more of an executioner than an attorney.
01:05:40 #1103 I know. I understand Lucy. And afterwards when you left the room I realized the
01:05:49 #1104 truth for the first time.
01:05:50 #1105 Hello, folks. I want you all to meet the young lady's husband.
01:05:53 #1106 We were married before breakfast.
01:05:54 #1107 Oh, Liz, I'm so happy. I don't know what I'm crying for.

01:06:00 #1109 That's right, Jim. He was really going to run out.
01:06:02 #1110 Don't I know. When I was over there last night, he had his bag go.

01:06:06 #1112 Oh, that happens in the world, Elizabeth.
01:06:08 #1113 Thanks, Jim.
