00:03:10 #10 Well, I can't help being...
00:03:11 #11 Oh, then you don't get this or this, since you can't pay the note.
00:03:14 #12 Oh, it's only I who notes, Matt.
00:03:16 #13 Sure. If I weren't, you wouldn't forge my name to this check, would you?
00:03:19 #14 Oh, yes.
00:03:22 #15 All right, tell her I'll see her in a minute.

00:03:41 #27 Hello, Pani.
00:03:43 #28 He knows you, too.
00:03:45 #29 What are you all at Twitter about anyway?
00:03:47 #30 You, uh, borrowed these from your meal tickets, isn't you?
00:03:51 #31 And she's in Paris, isn't she?
00:03:53 #32 Well, you better pay me somehow, return her before she gets back, hasn't you? Yes?
00:03:59 #33 What did he mean, you're a meal...
00:04:03 #34 Where did you think I'd pick what I gave you?
00:04:05 #35 From the three Mrs. Battingniz? Who?
00:04:08 #36 I'll see her in a minute.
00:04:09 #37 Well, boy, your meal's gonna get back.
00:04:12 #38 Perhaps she brought you up for easy and doctorly. Oh!
00:04:15 #39 Ha!
00:04:16 #40 Yeah!
00:04:18 #41 What is this?
00:04:19 #42 What's that dowry just to like God that I have?
00:04:23 #43 When you're a big boy, maybe I'll tell you.
00:04:25 #44 Yes? Well, let me tell you something.
00:04:28 #45 Dolly, we sold you out of the market this morning.
00:04:32 #46 You haven't got a dime.
00:04:34 #47 You... you didn't.
00:04:36 #48 Yes, but, uh, dear, it's my own.
00:04:37 #49 Why didn't you cable me? You were coming.
00:04:39 #50 No, dear Dolly, I did cable.
00:04:41 #51 You just must have been out.
00:04:43 #52 Oh, I was hunting in the mountains.
00:04:45 #53 And I was dying for you to come back to me.
00:04:48 #54 But what did you come here for, Paula?
00:04:51 #55 You know, tell me, you're black in the marker.
00:04:52 #56 My dear boy, I don't know.
00:04:54 #57 I only heard of this question when I arrived this morning.
00:04:57 #58 I've seen many friends of mine.
00:04:58 #59 But of course, Tony Benson would carry me.
00:05:01 #60 Oh, there. Where is Tony?
00:05:03 #61 Oh, wait, wait.
00:05:06 #62 Tony Benson, you're a cold, Mel.
00:05:08 #63 Aren't you?
00:05:10 #64 No wonder I can't go for you.
00:05:11 #65 You could have given me another day to cover.
00:05:13 #66 You didn't answer one of our margin calls.
00:05:15 #67 Oh, I was going to bring you my pearls.
00:05:17 #68 Say, what's in that box?
00:05:18 #69 No, no, no, no, no.
00:05:20 #70 Oh, Tony, darling, I think we must know what the presence of our house.
00:05:24 #71 You, you carried me, of course.
00:05:26 #72 No, you were a little overweight.
00:05:28 #73 Tony!
00:05:30 #74 Oh, Mr. Gray, excuse me, we tried to get in touch with you.
00:05:32 #75 I've been out of town.
00:05:34 #76 I was going to mail in to you.
00:05:36 #77 You see, with the last account we had, that wasn't covered, so, uh...
00:05:39 #78 I understand.
00:05:41 #79 Uh, Mr. Gray, would you mind waiting in the wedding room?
00:05:43 #80 Uh, someone in the suspense, darling.
00:05:45 #81 Oh, all right.
00:05:47 #82 Yes, I told you I, all of you, all except Adolf wasn't even in.
00:05:52 #83 No, it's nothing else you're dear Adolf goes before.
00:05:55 #84 Not the market, that and I'm going to never mind.
00:05:59 #85 Oh, ill-visit, though. No, come in, Harry.
00:06:01 #86 The storm seems to be arriving.
00:06:03 #87 Looks like one has already arrived.
00:06:05 #88 I'll come back when you're alone. All right, Harry.
00:06:07 #89 I have nothing more to say.
00:06:09 #90 You are not a gentleman, Mr. Interim. You're a...
00:06:12 #91 I know. I'm a smelt.
00:06:15 #92 Well, is it my fault that you're on the high seas when the market breaks?
00:06:18 #93 I've a good mind, too.
00:06:20 #94 You won't do anything.
00:06:21 #95 Marlott said he would, but he won't.
00:06:23 #96 None of you will.
00:06:23 #97 Oh, I suppose if you could, I'd be of cost by now.
00:06:26 #98 Well, you were called out to the market, weren't you?
00:06:29 #99 You wanted to have your cake, he needed to.
00:06:31 #100 Easy money, quick profit.
00:06:32 #101 Well, you gambled and you lost.
00:06:34 #102 Yes, you lost. Mr. Benjamin...
00:06:36 #103 You lost, I tell you.
00:06:37 #104 Stop it here. I haven't you anything to say to this person.
00:06:39 #105 The way he's told...
00:06:40 #106 With what I've got on him,
00:06:42 #107 I'll go and get out of here.
00:06:43 #108 I'll be gone.
00:06:45 #109 Go on, get out, leave me alone. I'm all in.
00:06:48 #110 Hello, Mr. Get my chauffeur, Mr. Garaudy,
00:06:52 #111 tell him to meet me at the club at six o'clock.
00:06:54 #112 Yes.
00:06:55 #113 I'm going to spend the night at my place up the river,
00:06:57 #114 and I don't want to be disturbed.
00:06:59 #115 All right. Yes, come in, Harry.
00:07:06 #116 Even a heaven seems to be crashing.
00:07:10 #117 Say, Harry, why don't you spend the night with me
00:07:13 #118 at my place up the river?
00:07:15 #119 That's not a bad idea.
00:07:16 #120 We can meet at the club at six o'clock
00:07:18 #121 Have a theme in a rundown before we go
00:07:21 #122 I'm nervous. I don't blame it after that gang that was just in here. I don't like you do they?
00:07:28 #123 Maybe not
00:07:29 #124 You know Harry
00:07:34 #125 I'm sorry. I had to send you out
00:07:37 #126 But then you big shots are used to taking it off the chair not twice in succession twice
00:07:43 #127 Big Greek walked off with a hundred and eighty grand of my life. We've been here. Yes. He high-coded me
00:07:52 #128 Harry, why don't you quit that racket?
00:07:55 #129 I like it.
00:07:56 #130 Harry, you're not sore at me, are you?
00:08:05 #131 I haven't made up my mind.
00:08:06 #132 Yes.
00:08:08 #133 Stop the jumps.
00:08:40 #134 No wonder.
00:08:44 #135 After what you said to me today.
00:08:47 #136 Oh, world.
00:08:49 #137 Those crybabies the office got on my nerves.
00:08:52 #138 But I put a couple of twos and twos together.
00:08:55 #139 Watching Delroy and Marl.
00:08:57 #140 Oh, let's go to bed, eh?
00:09:00 #141 Oh, that's my bag at your club.
00:09:03 #142 I'll phone for you.
00:09:04 #143 You'll have to rough it, though.
00:09:06 #144 I let the servants go for the winter.
00:09:08 #145 Backfire, I guess.
00:09:20 #146 Oh, Mark, the car, maybe.
00:09:22 #147 Those?
00:09:24 #148 Mark, a district attorney.
00:09:26 #149 You know him, don't you?
00:09:28 #150 We've had a couple of talks.
00:09:30 #151 What's he doing here?
00:09:31 #152 He's got a place next to mine.
00:09:33 #153 He's up here resting for the campaign.
00:09:35 #154 He's adding a little vocabulary to your other accomplishment, eh?
00:10:13 #155 a. I want that your case more gave you. So he borrowed from you and not follow

00:10:45 #161 All right. I'm sorry. Excuse me.
00:11:12 #162 Frightening me like that.
00:11:16 #163 Do you have a drink?
00:11:17 #164 What?
00:11:20 #165 With yourself.
00:11:21 #166 Tony.
00:11:22 #167 Who's that?
00:11:26 #168 It's Dray.
00:11:28 #169 I'll get rid of it now.
00:11:37 #170 Friend of yours, huh?
00:11:39 #171 Joonie, I want one.
00:11:40 #172 Excuse me, please. My coat.
00:11:42 #173 You are leaving, huh?
00:11:44 #174 What?
00:11:45 #175 Not at all.
00:11:47 #176 What was the noise out back? Window blew shut. Must have been open.
00:11:51 #177 Tony, I must sleep for my poor darling.
00:11:54 #178 He had no idea he was doing anything wrong with his silhouettes yet.
00:11:58 #179 You were such friends. I shouldn't have left him.
00:12:01 #180 Then you better pay his note to me.
00:12:03 #181 Thank you Tony, I haven't ten thousand.
00:12:05 #182 I tell you I've lost everything and the banks won't advance me another cent.
00:12:11 #183 What are you doing here?
00:12:13 #184 Not my dear Anthony, that is difficult to get.
00:12:17 #185 Mrs. Pott.
00:12:19 #186 Pott?
00:12:20 #187 Yes, calling the cattle black.
00:12:22 #188 You girls ought to get together on Marla.
00:12:25 #189 Paula, who do you suppose he was running around with while you were...
00:12:29 #190 Paula, I think you better go upstairs.
00:12:36 #191 Who wants to talk?
00:12:37 #192 You for me.
00:12:44 #193 What's your name?
00:12:46 #194 Harry, to you.
00:12:48 #195 What's yours?
00:12:50 #196 Fanny, to you.
00:12:52 #197 Tony, let's have a party.
00:13:04 #198 Are you going to give me that case? No. I would.
00:13:07 #199 Now look here.
00:13:08 #200 So what is this?
00:13:09 #201 What's going on here anyway? You got a flashlight?
00:13:12 #202 Yes, it's one of a hit.
00:13:13 #203 Here it is.
00:13:16 #204 Here, I'll go.
00:13:17 #205 I want that jewel case, Mahler gave you, and I'll get it.
00:13:26 #206 For what?
00:13:29 #207 Nothing.
00:13:30 #208 Oh, well, we'll see about that.
00:13:32 #209 Do you think you can hang on to Marla with Paula banning back and if she finds out he's been running around with you
00:13:38 #210 Where will you be? She'll stop his allowance. You know, he hasn't told her about your pearls
00:13:46 #211 I'll take care of that. Yeah. Well, you take care of his note somehow if you want this
00:13:51 #212 Say why all this frenzy about a few pearls?
00:13:55 #213 But a plenty more where these came from answer
00:13:58 #214 What about this anyway? I
00:14:00 #215 I have to sell them. You sold me out didn't you?
00:14:03 #216 Oh well let's have a look.
00:14:06 #217 I'll wait a minute.
00:14:17 #218 I'm glad you are here. Tony might have misconstrued my arriving this way. Have you been alone?
00:14:32 #219 Well he's certainly got plenty of company now.
00:14:35 #220 What are you people trying to do anyway? Remove this guy?
00:14:38 #221 Oh no. Let's go upstairs.
00:14:41 #222 I'll tell you why I won't in four words. I don't like you as if you like all your playmates.
00:14:57 #223 I've had to put up with a lot of you big businessmen to get somewhere, but now I'm there.
00:15:01 #224 I'm putting up with the one that I picked and I told you a year ago I wasn't picking you.
00:15:06 #225 Your eyes are too close together. Get it?
00:15:08 #226 Unless it's under that two pay of yours, I'm going to get that dual case of mine.
00:15:13 #227 all case of mine. I beg your pardon. Tony this was the big noise. Oh hello Tony.
00:15:22 #228 Hello. Oh.
00:15:23 #229 Fanny. Darcy is that my. What are you doing here?
00:15:32 #230 Carrying kids about me. No but that might be a good idea. When you told me he was
00:15:41 #231 between jail I think he had to come here and throw myself on this mercy. Tony he's
00:15:46 #232 my heart. Be quiet. You know why you've been away.
00:15:50 #233 He's been playing the battle there.
00:15:52 #234 Dolly, it's not true.
00:15:53 #235 No, don't change the subject. Give him the money.
00:15:56 #236 Do you want him to put him in the jail?
00:15:58 #237 I shall let him kill him, sir.
00:16:00 #238 If you don't mind, I have good call on him for that.
00:16:03 #239 Well, that makes it unanimous. Farewell, Caesar.
00:16:07 #240 Or shall we say it with flowers?
00:16:11 #241 What is this?
00:16:12 #242 Must be my birthday.
00:16:14 #243 Come on, Mark, hello, come in.
00:16:20 #244 I just dropped my seat.
00:16:22 #245 I'll make it fun.
00:16:24 #246 That's quite all right, come in.
00:16:31 #247 Underlight me. Enter the villain.
00:16:34 #248 How are you, Mr. District Attorney?
00:16:36 #249 Hello, Gray.
00:16:37 #250 Mr. Delroy, Mr. Marlowe.
00:16:39 #251 And, uh, Mr. Marlowe.
00:16:41 #252 Excuse me.
00:16:44 #253 You have to put me up to the night.
00:16:46 #254 I puncture the tire.
00:16:47 #255 Ready for room?
00:16:48 #256 Thanks.
00:16:50 #257 Gray, you must be behaving yourself.
00:16:52 #258 The newspapers have accused you of anything for months.
00:16:56 #259 I can't imagine what you're talking about.
00:16:58 #260 No.
00:17:01 #261 I want to talk to you about the market upstate. I suppose there'll be some trouble. I think you'll give me the advice I need.
00:17:07 #262 Let me take you to the club. Don't take my friend Winnie upstate.
00:17:10 #263 By the way, Gray, he'd like to meet you. You might if I bring him in.
00:17:16 #264 Not at all.
00:17:18 #265 You know, Markham seems to be quite interested in you.
00:17:27 #266 Well, if he is, it won't do him any good.
00:17:30 #267 But the baller is so upset, you don't mind if she lies off for a moment.
00:17:36 #268 I shall prepare her some.
00:17:38 #269 Sure, we've all been too excited anyway.
00:17:41 #270 There you are, Gray.
00:17:51 #271 Mr. Bentham?
00:17:52 #272 How do you do, Mr. Bentham?
00:17:54 #273 Eric Gray.
00:17:55 #274 Gray?
00:17:56 #275 Not the detective. It is.
00:17:58 #276 Only the amateur, remember?
00:18:00 #277 Our friend Sergeant Eve insists on that.
00:18:03 #278 Lance told me that he's getting rusty.
00:18:05 #279 Nothing to sharpen his psychology on, since the Greenburner.
00:18:08 #280 I felt rather hurt that you didn't call me in on that green business.
00:18:12 #281 Take off your coat, gentlemen, don't you?
00:18:14 #282 I'll get to my.
00:18:16 #283 You see, Mr. Vance, down at Headquarters,
00:18:18 #284 they've got an idea that I know all about these crimes.
00:18:21 #285 Really?
00:18:22 #286 Right. You and, uh...
00:18:25 #287 For Vance, well, those killers of his,
00:18:28 #288 at least the ones I've read about,
00:18:31 #289 it seems to me they're all amateurs too.
00:18:33 #290 Yes, they were.
00:18:34 #291 That's why Mark and Potter might be amusing,
00:18:37 #292 without disturbing my statement.
00:18:38 #293 I'm a fairy, remember?
00:18:40 #294 For me to meet an authority on professionals.
00:18:44 #295 Harry, get some cups. We'll have cups.
00:18:46 #296 Right.
00:18:49 #297 Booshes sit down, Mr. Batch. Thank you.
00:18:52 #298 Messon, did the marker hit you?
00:18:54 #299 Well, you never heard of a bootlicker drinking his own stuff, did you?
00:18:59 #300 Strange, you two should drop in here this evening on top of everybody wanting to murder everybody else.
00:19:04 #301 Mark it, of course.
00:19:06 #302 Oh, we need another bottle.
00:19:09 #303 Well, I'll get it.
00:19:10 #304 Or here are the keys.
00:19:12 #305 And by the way, be careful of that burglar alarm in the cellar.
00:19:17 #306 I think that burglar alarm was interest you, Mr. Bant. Oh?
00:19:21 #307 It's a rather tricky arrangement.
00:19:23 #308 Later on, I'd like to show it to you.
00:19:35 #309 It's not in his room.
00:19:37 #310 Not the ceiling in his pocket.
00:19:39 #311 I'll get it.
00:19:40 #312 I'll make him give to me.
00:19:41 #313 Why, I'll be quiet.
00:19:43 #314 Coffee will be ready soon.
00:19:46 #315 But I will.
00:19:47 #316 Why can't you get money?
00:19:50 #317 Doesn't my affection for you mean so little?
00:19:55 #318 Well, to tell you the truth darling,
00:19:58 #319 all that's the glitter is not gold.
00:20:04 #320 My boy, oh my boy!
00:20:07 #321 But he'll put me in the jail.
00:20:09 #322 I tell you, yes, he hates me.
00:20:11 #323 Because of the Delroy woman.
00:20:13 #324 Well, all I did was look at her.
00:20:15 #325 Can I help if she loves me?
00:20:17 #326 But I am true only to you, my star, only to you.
00:20:20 #327 But this bendon who calls himself our friend, he is jealous.
00:20:24 #328 You will lose me for the jail.
00:20:31 #329 I'll... my boy!
00:20:38 #330 The most important thing is not to get the envelope, the check, the notes.
00:20:45 #331 Oh, you jelly.
00:20:50 #332 That's how they kill in books, Mr. Bannett.
00:20:55 #333 But the way it's really done is quite different, I think.
00:20:59 #334 That your thought is that if I had matched with a professional,
00:21:03 #335 I might not have been so lucky, is that it?
00:21:06 #336 That's it. Don't thank me.
00:21:09 #337 Oh, I'll get you some coffee in a minute, Mr. Mock.
00:21:11 #338 Oh, I've had this bottle of my summer summer.
00:21:13 #339 It's Markham. Before prohibition.
00:21:16 #340 That's the way.
00:21:17 #341 Oh, if you'll excuse me, I'll see what the ladies are doing.
00:21:20 #342 It's very interesting to get your point of view, Mr. Van.
00:21:24 #343 Just how would you stack your cards against a professional?
00:21:28 #344 Well, it's my theory, Mr. Gray,
00:21:31 #345 that the only insoluble method of determining human guilt
00:21:35 #346 is by analyzing the psychological factors of the crime
00:21:39 #347 and then applying them to the individual.
00:21:41 #348 The point is, in these cases of yours, then, the gun...
00:21:45 #349 The gun... that's newspaper slang for killer, Mark.
00:21:49 #350 Hey.
00:21:50 #351 What I mean to say is that these killers you've met
00:21:54 #352 always used a lot of trick stuff, a lot of props.
00:21:58 #353 The professionals don't.
00:22:00 #354 So, from what I hear, they bang them neat and leave them where they let.
00:22:06 #355 Exactly. That's one of the reasons they're so seldom caught in other jurisdiction, I mean.
00:22:12 #356 You mean to tell me that you'd ignore all tangible evidence in the crime?
00:22:16 #357 Not ignore it, no, but neither would I accept it for gospel on its face, but it would.
00:22:22 #358 As well, I'll make that call.
00:22:25 #359 Oh, excuse me.
00:22:40 #360 Why don't you go in my room to dry your thing?
00:22:43 #361 There's a fire there.
00:22:45 #362 Thanks.
00:22:46 #363 I want that jewel case.
00:22:48 #364 I'll get it, you know.
00:22:49 #365 Yes, all right.
00:22:51 #366 Later on, when they, when they leave downstairs,
00:22:53 #367 we'll, uh, talk it over, right?
00:22:56 #368 Will we?
00:22:59 #369 I'll be back.
00:23:01 #370 Listen, I'm going to get that jewel case.
00:23:05 #371 All right, all right.
00:23:07 #372 I'll be back.
00:23:23 #373 The jury has to defend on circumstantial evidence, Markham.
00:23:27 #374 They can't understand any other guy.
00:23:29 #375 Here's the...
00:23:42 #376 This, uh... Mr. Gray here?
00:24:05 #377 He's in the kitchen.
00:24:09 #378 This is his bag.
00:24:11 #379 Will you see if he gets the tea?
00:24:13 #380 Certainly.
00:24:25 #381 What do you suppose he has?
00:24:27 #382 Oh, this came for you.
00:24:29 #383 My bag. Thanks.
00:24:31 #384 What's in it, Mr. Gray?
00:24:33 #385 Pineapple?
00:24:34 #386 You know, that's newspaper slang for, uh, bombs, Mr. Gray.
00:24:38 #387 Thanks.
00:24:39 #388 Get back to our conversation, man.
00:24:44 #389 How do you think you'd come out with one of these?
00:24:47 #390 Bang them and leave them lay killing, as we were talking about.
00:24:50 #391 By a professional, you mean?
00:24:52 #392 Exactly.
00:24:53 #393 Well, it might be rather interesting.
00:24:55 #394 Have you anything in that line, Malcolm?
00:24:57 #395 Let's talk to Gray.
00:24:59 #396 Well, I seem to have quite a reputation in this town.
00:25:03 #397 For the killing?
00:25:05 #398 Well, perhaps something could be arranged.
00:25:09 #399 Slept it.
00:25:10 #400 Prince, nothing here.
00:25:23 #401 He's dead.
00:25:29 #402 Give me the medical examiner's office, please.
00:25:33 #403 Somebody must have overheard that conversation of ours.
00:25:37 #404 Yeah, it's exactly what was occurring to me.
00:25:39 #405 I want to speak to Dr. DeRiva personally.
00:25:42 #406 Well, there you are, Mr. Vance.
00:25:45 #407 Do your stuff.
00:25:46 #408 Yeah.
00:26:02 #409 Flying up like thunder across the Hudson, outside the lodge,
00:26:07 #410 Disclose the cold body, be a kept warm by a steamer.
00:26:11 #411 I have a lot of cold and dinny a match.
00:26:13 #412 The first to arrive on the scene was the brains of the homicide squad.
00:26:17 #413 Sergeant E for Edward...
00:26:19 #414 Ernest.
00:26:20 #415 Sergeant Edward E.
00:26:23 #416 Or as I nicknamed him in one of my more brilliant moments,
00:26:26 #417 Edward Sleuth.
00:26:27 #418 So as everybody would know he was a detective.
00:26:29 #419 Well, I can, that's tough.
00:26:31 #420 Whenever I've got anything to give you, Scribes,
00:26:37 #421 I'll tell you.
00:26:38 #422 Gonna tell you get up and down those back stairs of that being seen. Where's wealth?
00:26:52 #423 Up going over the bedroom. I can't do that you get outside and look around the ground
00:26:57 #424 Say what's ailing you? I got sold out from the stock market No
00:27:05 #425 Yeah, I lost 90 bucks wiped out
00:27:11 #426 By the way, mr. Markingbone. Mr. Vance would be here right away. Oh, yeah. Oh
00:27:17 #427 Oh good morning, Sergeant.
00:27:38 #428 Why hello, Mr. Vance.
00:27:40 #429 No goes, Vance.
00:27:41 #430 I'm afraid the blue man is going to clash.
00:27:44 #431 Take that phone for all, well.
00:27:46 #432 Blue, Sergeant, is a very tricky color.
00:27:49 #433 You know, in spite of its commonness, it's quite difficult.
00:27:53 #434 But that's anomalous, of course.
00:27:54 #435 Mr. Vance, you know, apart my obscurity,
00:27:59 #436 but sometimes I don't quite follow you.
00:28:01 #437 I said there wasn't any clues.
00:28:07 #438 And you said that you wouldn't say that.
00:28:09 #439 Well, I wouldn't. Really.
00:28:11 #440 Really?
00:28:12 #441 That was the time, Colin.
00:28:13 #442 They want to know if you...
00:28:14 #443 You tell the time that when they get my name right, they might get a story.
00:28:18 #444 You see, Sergeant, I decided to spend the night here in, uh, in meditation.
00:28:23 #445 So I phoned Sam to bring out my things, and I, uh, meditated.
00:28:28 #446 Any luck?
00:28:30 #447 I've been studying that little derringer that was found at the top of the stairs there
00:28:33 #448 last night.
00:28:34 #449 It's rather unique.
00:28:35 #450 Yes, it is.
00:28:36 #451 And of course, the lady's handbag, which you no doubt found in Benson's room there.
00:28:41 #452 Yes, I got that right here.
00:28:42 #453 Yes, yes, I found it.
00:28:49 #454 But I want to come by telephone.
00:28:52 #455 I'm a driver for Mr. Fance.
00:28:55 #456 Hey, did you get that?
00:28:57 #457 I'm too old for that.
00:29:02 #458 Hey, is my old Fance an old, this one?
00:29:04 #459 I don't know, is it inside?
00:29:05 #460 I wish I knew.
00:29:07 #461 Hey, come on, come on.
00:29:08 #462 Well, I've been here since 6 a.m.
00:29:10 #463 Fance is here, he's at Santa Claus.
00:29:13 #464 He wants to come down to the chimney.
00:29:15 #465 One of those two Danes owns this bag.
00:29:19 #466 Well?
00:29:21 #467 Mr. Vance?
00:29:22 #468 Oh, yes. Come in.
00:29:23 #469 You know, sergeants, when Albert here tossed him last night,
00:29:27 #470 Markham thought that he was Graveman.
00:29:30 #471 Oh, no, sir.
00:29:33 #472 As I explained to Mr. Vance when he called me up this morning,
00:29:36 #473 Mr. Vance was my employer.
00:29:38 #474 He telephoned me last night to bring Mr. Graveman from the club.
00:29:42 #475 What's your name?
00:29:43 #476 Albert.
00:29:44 #477 Brecker.
00:29:45 #478 The medical examiner's here.
00:29:47 #479 And you stick around. Some curie lamp, I suppose.
00:30:01 #480 And whether any woman was in this room was bent on immediately prior to the murder.
00:30:08 #481 That's what I wanted Albert for, to verify.
00:30:10 #482 Good morning, Sergeant.
00:30:11 #483 Hi, Doc.
00:30:12 #484 Bless me, so, Mr. Van.
00:30:14 #485 Why, I haven't seen you since we laid the Green family to rest.
00:30:18 #486 Right, right.
00:30:19 #487 There was a lovely murder case for you, Sergeant.
00:30:22 #488 Bless me, so, yes.
00:30:24 #489 Certainly, certainly.
00:30:28 #490 Certainly certainly have one of your men give me a hand. Really? Oh, I'm sorry. I wasn't here last night
00:30:35 #491 Wedding anniversary my wife and I always celebrate
00:30:40 #492 Went to a hockey match. How's the election coming there?
00:30:46 #493 Captain kept his two days. You look like it. He wasn't a touchy about himself if I do say
00:30:54 #494 Bane you mean yes, sir. Well, what guy with the list of phone numbers he had wouldn't be you've been reading Sherlock Holmes
00:31:05 #495 This was Mr. Benson's favorite to face, sir.
00:31:14 #496 Fancy.
00:31:15 #497 Oh, no, sir.
00:31:16 #498 I once worked for a gentleman that had seven.
00:31:19 #499 One for every day in the week to correspond to the natural growth of his hair.
00:31:22 #500 Uh, Albert, do you think that Mr. Benson would have appeared before a lady in whom he was interested?
00:31:29 #501 Without his two hair?
00:31:30 #502 Oh, no, sir.
00:31:31 #503 He would rather have died.
00:31:33 #504 Well, he got his wish.
00:31:34 #505 The doctor said he was shot at about six feet, and no powder marks.
00:31:38 #506 Well, suicide, Al.
00:31:45 #507 you on my side of course thank you I'll see you later thank you sir you know Mr.

00:32:10 #510 meditating on what happened before the murder I have suggestions no hand books

00:32:21 #512 the stuff Harry Gray was saying to you.

00:32:25 #514 to kind of try you out.
00:32:27 #515 The nerve of that gorilla.
00:32:29 #516 What's great history?
00:32:32 #517 A lot of things.
00:32:33 #518 Ever been convicted?
00:32:37 #519 Just what gives you the right?
00:32:38 #520 Well, rumor has it that he's a big shot
00:32:40 #521 in the bootlegging ring.
00:32:43 #522 You know, I still don't like the way he talked to you.
00:32:45 #523 How'd they use the kitchen table?
00:32:48 #524 Killed the Bob Midnight.
00:32:50 #525 Direct fire into the house.
00:32:52 #526 a week and shot and never knew what hit him.
00:32:55 #527 But the soul know that he must have seen the guy come and have a look at the
00:32:59 #528 bullet most interesting I'll be right way.
00:33:03 #529 Come on let me never mind never mind.
00:33:06 #530 Yeah one of the boys.
00:33:08 #531 I had my head my head your hat and had you all right come on give us a break.
00:33:14 #532 Oh quiet down what was it.
00:33:17 #533 Give me that piece of paper I found in the wood box.
00:33:19 #534 Get that phone.
00:33:24 #535 Look at this, Mr. Van.
00:33:26 #536 Yeah, I'll tell him.
00:33:31 #537 It's an empty jewel case that we found in a bush outside.
00:33:34 #538 Been thrown out the window last night, maybe.
00:33:37 #539 And here's the paper. It was wrapped to him,
00:33:39 #540 and I found in the wood box right there.
00:33:41 #541 It's Mark Mahler.
00:33:43 #542 Yeah, I'll tell him.
00:33:44 #543 But, Mr. Van, with election coming up Tuesday
00:33:46 #544 and the papers riding us the way they are,
00:33:51 #545 I've got to house up to now.
00:33:53 #546 is right in the way they are I've got a house up now. Well about that small
00:33:58 #547 part of the blood on the second step from the top there. But any particular
00:34:02 #548 significance to you. Sergeant they picked up Delroy down at the Grand Central trying
00:34:06 #549 to beat it out of town Delroy. Yeah I'll be right down together. Well
00:34:21 #550 famous events who did this the four marks brother. Anything you where you
00:34:37 #551 called my hand last night. Still stuck. I afraid I took up that challenge of yours to solve
00:34:44 #552 a murder by a professional too soon. This was no professional job.
00:34:49 #553 Oh, Albert, that door. Thank you. Everybody there including me threatened to kill Benson.
00:34:56 #554 They were all sore at that financial genius.
00:34:59 #555 What's the matter? Albert, get that door. Impression that Albert was Mr.
00:35:12 #556 a bit. So he was I just took him on today you see
00:35:17 #557 a bit and stress ties were always tied smart and the albets there was a boy who
00:35:22 #558 ties that's it I see coming back. Good morning. Good morning. Those two women
00:35:29 #559 with their last night back never get mixed up with women they're dynamic no
00:35:34 #560 brain. Yes you see I don't let just anybody put a razor on
00:35:41 #561 Neither did Napoleon.
00:35:43 #562 As I read about that, that's where I got the idea.
00:35:46 #563 Mr. Gray, I wonder if I could get you to help me out.
00:35:50 #564 Sure, I'd better, or they'll be inciting me again.
00:35:54 #565 If everything those birds tried to pin on me stuck,
00:35:57 #566 I'd have worn out a carload of electric chairs by now.
00:36:01 #567 You see, my business makes me acquainted with a lot of tough mugs.
00:36:05 #568 And Markham, and that detective he,
00:36:08 #569 call me in every time an automobile backfire but I don't mind that's their job
00:36:15 #570 yes so it is but Mr. Gray something the police overlook at the fence and lunch
00:36:19 #571 seems to point to one of the guests there last night and I thought perhaps you
00:36:24 #572 might know someone who would look into his room his hotel room for me I have
00:36:31 #573 to mauler eh I know a stool that you might use as a bell hop of course he'd
00:36:38 #574 have to have a package or something that he was delivering in case I'm walking up
00:36:42 #575 on a very good one. Come on in here. Say a great. Oh you're here. I guess I'm here.
00:36:53 #576 Well I wasn't about a minute behind you on this one. I'm taking you downtown. Get in
00:36:58 #577 and get ready. Get your hat. What's the idea. You too great. Mr. Markham's got
00:37:04 #578 and questions he wants to ask both you boys all right just as soon as I'm through
00:37:09 #579 here I tell you they try to pin this on me all you never killed Benson not personally
00:37:15 #580 it didn't the Albert here was working for Benson yesterday Albert the murderer and
00:37:29 #581 crazy accessory huh certainly the rest of our little group won't object to that
00:37:34 #582 will they miss the great hardly I'm on my way to not Sergeant exhibition of
00:37:38 #583 Japanese print I'll see you later no doubt if you'll excuse me hello pray up
00:37:43 #584 and give him more stuff. All right. The bag's mine. I was in his room then.
00:37:51 #585 After climbing in the back window. Why? How did you find out?
00:37:55 #586 Well, Harry Gray was present, you know. You know. But Gray's on it, even in the kitchen, making coffee.
00:38:00 #587 I see. Harry Gray can't tangle me in this.
00:38:03 #588 Why did you try to leave town? Find out, if you can.
00:38:08 #589 Don't be so picturesque. I'm not a jury.
00:38:12 #590 Oh, you're a fool. If you think I'm... Why did you go to that house?
00:38:15 #591 to talk to Benton about my account.
00:38:17 #592 He told me out.
00:38:18 #593 We quarreled.
00:38:19 #594 Then you needed money?
00:38:21 #595 No.
00:38:23 #596 Did you, uh, ever see that before?
00:38:27 #597 No.
00:38:30 #598 Benton was interested in you.
00:38:32 #599 Suppose we say that he attacked you.
00:38:35 #600 Well?
00:38:36 #601 If you'll excuse me, uh, your reputation is well known.
00:38:41 #602 The Boilthheim suicide two years ago. The case that...
00:38:44 #603 Never mind that.
00:38:46 #604 I'd like men in my time. They'd like me. What are they?
00:38:50 #605 I didn't like Tony Benson, but I didn't kill him.
00:38:54 #606 If my thoughts could have killed the swine, he'd have been dead long ago.
00:38:58 #607 The rest of them are in the reception room there.
00:39:00 #608 Wait, please. Sergeant.
00:39:07 #609 Yes, Chief?
00:39:07 #610 Get Marla and Mrs. Manningham.
00:39:13 #611 You know, Chief, there's something funny about...
00:39:14 #612 I never mind that now, Sergeant.
00:39:16 #613 Roy seems upset.
00:39:19 #614 Barked at that.
00:39:22 #615 He shouldn't bark at the ladies, old man.
00:39:24 #616 Oh, I'm busy. This is not the only case in New York.
00:39:27 #617 And you're not helping me any.
00:39:28 #618 You're more flippin' than usual today.
00:39:30 #619 Well, this was a particularly flippin' murder mark'em.
00:39:34 #620 And if you go on trusting clues like those,
00:39:36 #621 you will be prettier still.
00:39:39 #622 Have you a clue?
00:39:40 #623 I have instructed my lawyer.
00:39:42 #624 Now, I can't conceive who would but Woodward Tony
00:39:46 #625 out of the way.
00:39:48 #626 Well, we were just planning on Paul hunting trip for these months.
00:39:51 #627 Oh, you hungry tomorrow?
00:39:52 #628 Be quiet, Gully.
00:39:53 #629 You keep up with this. You will have both of us. What's that?
00:39:55 #630 Oh, I love to hunt.
00:39:56 #631 I love to hunt.
00:39:58 #632 This envelope with your name on it was found in Benson's desk.
00:40:02 #633 It contains three very interesting documents.
00:40:05 #634 Then it was useless. He didn't have it with him.
00:40:07 #635 What were you truly?
00:40:09 #636 The first is a canceled check of Benson's bidot to Innoff Mahler for $10,000.
00:40:15 #637 The second is a confession signed by you admitting this check to be a forgery.
00:40:21 #638 And the third is a note for $10,000 bidot to Anthony Benson to be a forgery.
00:40:27 #639 to Anthony Benson signed by Adolf Mahler.
00:40:30 #640 Yes, yes, yes. Oh, I should have mentioned those things before.
00:40:34 #641 You know, my financial arrangement, well, not all one could desire.
00:40:38 #642 I shouldn't have let you.
00:40:40 #643 Unfortunately to protect Madame Starks, Mr. Benson required $10,000.
00:40:47 #644 Oh, yeah. And you saw your Fordy's name.
00:40:48 #645 Oh, you mean it would have been a Fordyry if he had made a complaint.
00:40:51 #646 Well, if it's a change, he can't make one now.
00:40:54 #647 If the Fordy's just the same, Sergeant, but I'll think of a planer.
00:40:56 #648 He forged his Benson's name,
00:40:58 #649 pays him back with his own money.
00:41:00 #650 I explained it to Deere or Sonya once, of course,
00:41:06 #651 and offered him this note.
00:41:07 #652 Which calls to you today.
00:41:09 #653 Yes, and...
00:41:10 #654 You mean to tell me that Benson accepted your note without security?
00:41:13 #655 Oh, well, naturally.
00:41:15 #656 Yeah, well, what was wrapped in this piece of paper
00:41:18 #657 which was found in the wood box with your name on it?
00:41:21 #658 And, uh...
00:41:23 #659 Tony gave me a party for my birthday
00:41:25 #660 and presented me with a gold pencil.
00:41:27 #661 I have it.
00:41:29 #662 You didn't tell me it was your birthday.
00:41:31 #663 Please, Paula, be quiet. You will get me an electric chair.
00:41:34 #664 The charming I...
00:41:35 #665 You will come with me.
00:41:37 #666 This is the security that you gave Benson for that note?
00:41:40 #667 Oh, sir. So, Miss Darrow had told you.
00:41:43 #668 Who?
00:41:44 #669 Those birth armies Darrow.
00:41:46 #670 She threatened to kill Benson first.
00:41:48 #671 Delroy?
00:41:49 #672 Yes. She's a snagret woman. I'm through. I'm finished with her.
00:41:52 #673 Now you are the war to me again, Darrow.
00:41:55 #674 I would accompany you through your sorted affair.
00:41:57 #675 Oh, sweetie, Miss Darrow alone with her first.
00:42:00 #676 What a lovely liar.
00:42:03 #677 He bought them for me one day and stole one the next.
00:42:06 #678 So, Adolph, that's what the cable of the money
00:42:08 #679 I sent you to cover my margin.
00:42:10 #680 Now, when did you forge that check?
00:42:12 #681 Why, you wuss.
00:42:14 #682 You were speaking in the Benson's house last night.
00:42:16 #683 Both of you, why did you quarrel with him?
00:42:19 #684 I wanted to get that set confession of forgery.
00:42:22 #685 He threatened to put Adolph in jail.
00:42:24 #686 Mr. Markham, adults all I have now accept the money that makes him love me.
00:42:30 #687 You threatened to kill Beth and yourself, didn't you? Yes.
00:42:33 #688 Well, who didn't?
00:42:34 #689 Mr. Markham, may I have that dual case?
00:42:37 #690 Mr. Gray is here, sir.
00:42:39 #691 Oh, send him in.
00:42:40 #692 There's no one in the room.
00:42:41 #693 Sergeant?
00:42:43 #694 In here.
00:42:44 #695 You'll choose my ballot yet?
00:42:52 #696 We are not.
00:42:53 #697 In a minute, Frank.
00:42:54 #698 Hello, Mr. Detective.
00:42:59 #699 The newspaper boys are certainly having a lot of fun with you.
00:43:03 #700 being on the scene of the crime last night. They don't seem to take your presence at
00:43:07 #701 the scene of the murder quite so humorously. No one ever lasted me. They used to when I
00:43:13 #702 was a kid. But I taught them not to. But you, by advance, the famous amateur detective,
00:43:21 #703 to be in on the draw and then raised out. How do you stand it? Perhaps I haven't
00:43:27 #704 completed my draw. I'll see you later, Gray. Why not? I'm used to that, Markham.
00:43:35 #705 Did you know that she didn't even ask if her pearls were still there? No, because
00:43:43 #706 she knew they weren't, because she got them. Oh? She tried to leave town, didn't she?
00:43:47 #707 Where was she going, you know? Yeah, Boston. All the man's time was fired. I'm tired of all
00:43:53 #708 these human passions and lies and you don't suppose they'll be in the
00:43:57 #709 election too, do you? The following this case won't lose you
00:44:01 #710 only votes and I have found it. Sergeant these complications Marlon and
00:44:07 #711 Mrs. Banning and the full balance of the obscure direct evidence against Delroy.
00:44:13 #712 Sergeant exhibit a B and C versus
00:44:18 #713 spending Delroy. Label them to the grand jury. I am going to ask for her
00:44:22 #714 indictment this afternoon on that evidence.
00:44:25 #715 Then I may not know Japanese art, but I am still district attorney of New York
00:44:30 #716 Defense Cartel and the McGuire case.
00:44:34 #717 You have to wait.
00:44:35 #718 Are they to be detained here?
00:44:37 #719 Sergeant, they heard Miss Delroy owed to the custody of a maven.
00:44:40 #720 What chief's office right away, yeah.
00:44:44 #721 Making a statement, sir.
00:44:48 #722 You can't abort her.
00:44:50 #723 If you'll show me where I am, I'd like to show you.
00:44:52 #724 Some bits of stringy spuds across the front of Venson's Wesker.
00:44:57 #725 You have that Wesker, of course.
00:44:59 #726 It's in the medical examiner's office.
00:45:01 #727 What's that got to do with it?
00:45:03 #728 Have I ever let you down?
00:45:05 #729 Well, no.
00:45:06 #730 Well, suppose we take a look at that whisket, then.
00:45:08 #731 Then this looks like a well-boost chase.
00:45:30 #732 Oh, boy, Markham.
00:45:32 #733 Uh, suppose you turn east to the next corner.
00:45:34 #734 I've shot, Matt.
00:45:40 #735 Stop the car.
00:45:41 #736 No, no, my apartment, quick!
00:45:43 #737 That shot was not for me, Markham.
00:45:45 #738 I had a silencer on that gun.
00:45:46 #739 What makes you think the bullet was meant for you?
00:45:58 #740 Something I said in your office.
00:46:00 #741 By whom?
00:46:04 #742 All the possibilities were there, weren't they?
00:46:06 #743 Well, I still think it's Delroy.
00:46:09 #744 But Markham, do women kill merely to recover a string of pearls?
00:46:14 #745 Well, suppose Benson had forced his attention on her.
00:46:17 #746 Suppose that he attempted to...
00:46:19 #747 Can you imagine Benson with his vanity?
00:46:21 #748 Attempting anything without his toupee?
00:46:24 #749 I've got it.
00:46:25 #750 What do you mean?
00:46:26 #751 Albert.
00:46:27 #752 The minute you told me that Albert brought that handbag out to Grey that night.
00:46:31 #753 Grey simply went out there to spend the night with Benson.
00:46:33 #754 He was nervous, nervous.
00:46:34 #755 Well, he picked a swell chaperone.
00:46:36 #756 Yeah, Grayford-Gutton left his bag in Benson's room at the club.
00:46:39 #757 Benson phoned Albert Broder's outfit, sir.
00:46:42 #758 And where did Albert go after that?
00:46:44 #759 He claimed that he took the train back to town.
00:46:46 #760 That's no alibi.
00:46:48 #761 Well, he only started working for Benson six weeks ago.
00:46:51 #762 And when I photographed him, he nearly threw a fit.
00:46:54 #763 You know, Markham, because Albert refuses to tell the police the history of his life,
00:46:58 #764 Sergeant insists that he's a gunman in disguise.
00:47:01 #765 Well, he's a farter.
00:47:03 #766 Well, my case against Delroy.
00:47:05 #767 So it's our new town's visit to prepare the indictment.
00:47:07 #768 Yes, sir.
00:47:08 #769 Now, just for a moment.
00:47:11 #770 I'm not going to let you make fools of yourself.
00:47:13 #771 Mark him until tomorrow night. Let me handle this in my own way.
00:47:17 #772 Now, if you don't, on the day after tomorrow,
00:47:20 #773 the morning papers on the eye, not you,
00:47:23 #774 will solve the murder of Anthony Benson.
00:47:24 #775 And that's the election day.
00:47:26 #776 You stopped me last night from the proceedings, but I saw a fit.
00:47:29 #777 And I got a bullet in my arm.
00:47:31 #778 Delroy had the real motive.
00:47:33 #779 Drop a nickel in the slot and get a motive.
00:47:38 #780 Everybody has some motive for murdering somebody.
00:47:40 #781 Yeah, be careful, somebody doesn't murder you.
00:47:42 #782 No, nobody's gonna get him, Chief.
00:47:44 #783 I'll watch over you, Mr. Van.
00:47:46 #784 Thank you, Sergeant.
00:47:47 #785 Oh, tell me, did that firearms expert of yours say when he would know about those bullets?
00:47:51 #786 At some time today.
00:47:52 #787 I'll see him.
00:47:53 #788 And if you don't mind, Markham, I'd like to have Miss Delroy's jewel case brought to me here this afternoon.
00:47:58 #789 Right.
00:47:59 #790 Then I want a policewoman.
00:48:01 #791 A policewoman?
00:48:02 #792 Yeah.
00:48:03 #793 Say, I can handle anything in this case.
00:48:06 #794 Well, very good, Sergeant.
00:48:07 #795 This is a little job of chambermaiding in a hotel.
00:48:10 #796 This is the bullet that killed Benson.
00:48:26 #797 The rifling marks on it correspond exactly to the rifling
00:48:29 #798 on the inside of the barrel of that gun you picked up after the murder.
00:48:32 #799 This one is the one that hit Mr. Markham.
00:48:36 #800 The same kind of a bullet fired from the same kind of a gun.
00:48:39 #801 But the trouble is that this is such a special nick
00:48:42 #802 that I don't understand how could be two of them exactly alike around here.
00:48:46 #803 Excuse me, Mr. Vance. Here's the picture of those fingerprints you wanted.
00:48:49 #804 Oh, good. And that coffee can, you left it there, all right.
00:48:53 #805 Yes, I stuck it back on the kitchen shelf. Thank you.
00:48:56 #806 What gets me is Sergeant Heath said there was no explosion when Markham was shot.
00:49:00 #807 Now, this type of gun was designed in Russia during the Revolution
00:49:04 #808 for the protection of the women of the aristocracy.
00:49:07 #809 A few gifted to Paris were copied to the underworld.
00:49:09 #810 But there was never a silencer manufactured for that gun.
00:49:12 #811 Ah, but there was, Captain.
00:49:15 #812 In this article by the late Bale of the Paris police,
00:49:18 #813 both the gun and its tiny silencer are described.
00:49:21 #814 You might keep that copy for your files.
00:49:23 #815 Thank you. Thank you.
00:49:25 #816 And Captain, if there should be a call for me,
00:49:26 #817 I'll be at the reference from at the time.
00:49:28 #818 I'll let you know.
00:49:29 #819 Goodbye. Goodbye.
00:49:35 #820 But for strength of competition, Mr. Bant,
00:49:37 #821 and for unusual delicacy of like, I would continue...
00:49:40 #822 Oh, Sam, pardon me.
00:49:42 #823 Is Mr. Markham all right?
00:49:44 #824 Well, no, sir. Sergeant Keith is with him.
00:49:49 #825 As I was saying, Mr. Vance, I could do no better than to recommend to you these three very choice examples of the Ukiyo-e school.
00:49:57 #826 Now these, Mr. Vance, are a rare opportunity. If you don't take advantage of it, sir, I assure you you'll regret it.
00:50:03 #827 Hey, hey, who are you?
00:50:06 #828 Who am I? Who are you?
00:50:08 #829 Oh, pardon me, Sergeant. This is my print dealer. He's not dangerous.
00:50:12 #830 Oh.
00:50:13 #831 If you would step aside, please. Mr. Vance, these three.
00:50:17 #832 I better take that door, Mr. Vance. You know, we can't be too careful today.
00:50:21 #833 All right, Father. Oh, by the way, you haven't forgotten that jewel, okay, Father?
00:50:25 #834 Right here.
00:50:26 #835 Of course, Mr. Vance, I don't want to force-feed the pardon you.
00:50:32 #836 I have in the portfolio, suddenly, it might interest you still more.
00:50:36 #837 If I can only find it here, it's something I was particularly anxious to bring to your attention.
00:50:41 #838 Ah, yes, here we have it. These three from the right collection.
00:50:45 #839 Tokyo Bay, Narinobi, and Hiroshige.
00:50:50 #840 You fancy you know as the three Hiroshige...
00:50:53 #841 Oh, but...
00:50:54 #842 Did you get it?
00:50:55 #843 Yes, sir. All the sacks were tied up with cord like that, except in one.
00:51:00 #844 And that one?
00:51:01 #845 Well, somebody must have cut it off, like you said.
00:51:03 #846 Say, what do you mean, after all?
00:51:04 #847 All right, Father, I'll do it.
00:51:07 #848 Will you stand by, Mr. Markham's office, please?
00:51:09 #849 Yes, sir.
00:51:10 #850 Sergeant, we're getting warm.
00:51:12 #851 Mr. Vance, may I not cord your attention to these very...
00:51:18 #852 Oh, uh...
00:51:19 #853 I'll take the Hiroshige. Three thousand you said huh?
00:51:23 #854 Right, thank you. Courage.
00:51:28 #855 Three thousand bucks for those cromos?
00:51:30 #856 What's the psychology in that Mr. Vance?
00:51:33 #857 I don't wear a hat.
00:51:34 #858 This twine burns slowly but surely.
00:51:43 #859 Yeah, no disconcess.
00:51:55 #860 I picked Adolf. I went to Benson's room. I pleaded with him.
00:52:06 #861 He had the dual case so I thought he must have Adolf's confessional forgery and his note too.
00:52:12 #862 to. Then some lost me there was a gun on the table so I I shot him.
00:52:20 #863 He went to the door to call and then he fell and where was Mr Marlowe in one
00:52:27 #864 of the guest rooms. I swear to you Mr Marlowe.
00:52:32 #865 A Mrs Bannett yes.
00:52:35 #866 Are you a hairpin a hairpin yes may I have it. Sergeant
00:52:50 #867 on the wire Mr. Vance.
00:52:52 #868 Is there anyone in the reception room?
00:52:53 #869 No, sir.
00:52:54 #870 I think it's uh...
00:53:08 #871 What are you doing up?
00:53:09 #872 You think I can lay around your apartment with the newspapers
00:53:11 #873 handing me about this Benson crime?
00:53:13 #874 Where's Sergeant Heath?
00:53:14 #875 I can't find him anywhere.
00:53:16 #876 I have him on the wire, he's uh...
00:53:18 #877 doing something for me.
00:53:20 #878 Also for you.
00:53:24 #879 Yes Sergeant?
00:53:25 #880 Range it for...
00:53:33 #881 and you'd better set that clock out there and your watch with mine.
00:53:37 #882 I make it just 433.
00:53:39 #883 Uh Mr. Vance, if you're through with me uh...
00:53:45 #884 Well, I haven't heard it in one shift.
00:53:47 #885 Oh, I'm terribly sorry, sir.
00:53:49 #886 Suppose you eat first and then pick up that policewoman
00:53:52 #887 whose chamber making for her at that hotel, will you? All right.
00:53:55 #888 Good.
00:53:58 #889 What do you think of her confession?
00:53:59 #890 Fession out of love than a confession of guilt.
00:54:04 #891 What do you think?
00:54:05 #892 You mean that she's trying to protect Mama?
00:54:07 #893 Whatever.
00:54:08 #894 Sorry.
00:54:09 #895 Mr. Gray is here, sir.
00:54:10 #896 Send him in.
00:54:11 #897 How are you, Gray?
00:54:18 #898 What are you going to play that hand you've been bragging about?
00:54:21 #899 You'd like to, uh, sit in on the game?
00:54:26 #900 table stakes and then you said this will be your part I'd like to have all our
00:54:36 #901 little group at Benford's large in one hour and suppose we take along a
00:54:41 #902 photograph of our small as fingerprint I understand that I know what you mean
00:54:55 #903 yet mama you mean to tell me that you were just sitting up there alone when
00:55:01 #904 the gun went off how do you know it was it is going to be an
00:55:05 #905 interesting hand well what I said was that I was not with me this best I
00:55:10 #906 I don't want to know where you are not.
00:55:13 #907 I want to know where you were.
00:55:17 #908 I have a gentleman.
00:55:19 #909 Oh, Mrs. Delroy?
00:55:21 #910 Yes, he was with me.
00:55:25 #911 Remarkable fellow, mother. Oh, come on.
00:55:27 #912 We're not getting any face at all, man.
00:55:29 #913 You'll have your murder, Remarkham, by six o'clock.
00:55:33 #914 I can't stand much more of this.
00:55:35 #915 If you've got anything on me, say it.
00:55:38 #916 This is a rather unusual jewel case of yours, Mrs. Delroy. Who would you?
00:55:43 #917 You know, Markham, Mrs. Delroy
00:55:45 #918 at a better motive for keeping Anthony Benson permanently quiet than any of them.
00:55:49 #919 Please, I would like to go.
00:55:51 #920 You keep quiet.
00:55:52 #921 And you, Albert, hiding you apart from the police.
00:55:56 #922 I was afraid I don't blame you.
00:55:58 #923 Albert's wife is looking for him.
00:56:00 #924 He left her in Chicago recently without getting noticed, you might say.
00:56:04 #925 How much longer does this calmly little ass, then?
00:56:06 #926 In ten minutes, Mark, I'm at old V comedy.
00:56:09 #927 For one of you, it isn't now, is it?
00:56:13 #928 But why give me a ringside seat to this sea?
00:56:16 #929 If any of you comics have got an idea that I had anybody bump-bent north,
00:56:20 #930 you certainly had motive enough, didn't you?
00:56:24 #931 What motive?
00:56:25 #932 Simply not for a factory bench, for having sold you out on the market.
00:56:28 #933 You, the illustrious Harry Gray.
00:56:31 #934 The big shot.
00:56:34 #935 Vanity and arrogant markham.
00:56:36 #936 Usually motive is the behavior of the intelligent gunman. Gunman?
00:56:40 #937 Look here. But you were with us here when the shot was fired and the body fell.
00:56:46 #938 And just before that, I was in the kitchen making coffee.
00:56:49 #939 That's right, I remember.
00:56:51 #940 I remember that it was very overboiled coffee.
00:56:53 #941 It must have been on the fire a long time, wasn't it?
00:56:57 #942 Ray couldn't have made the coffee that night.
00:57:01 #943 I made it for Paul.
00:57:03 #944 I wouldn't call me a liar if I were you.
00:57:05 #945 I don't know how to make the coffee.
00:57:07 #946 And if Marla did make it, Markham, Mr. Gray was out of this room for some five minutes.
00:57:12 #947 At doing what?
00:57:14 #948 Your dealing. Don't ask me. I'm not. I'm telling you.
00:57:17 #949 Mr. Gray didn't make the coffee that night, you know.
00:57:20 #950 Who says I didn't?
00:57:21 #951 Six photographs of the only fingerprint on that freshly unwrapped can of coffee.
00:57:27 #952 And this one of your prints, Marla, prove even to a jury, Markham,
00:57:31 #953 that only he touched that coffee can.
00:57:32 #954 Oh, stop it!
00:57:34 #955 When they took the prince of my fingers this afternoon, I knew you had to suspect me.
00:57:38 #956 If you're going to accuse me, do it.
00:57:40 #957 Oh, this is getting tricky.
00:57:42 #958 Oh, two-handed poker isn't so very tricky, do you think?
00:57:46 #959 Mr. Gray, just what were you doing while Markham and I sat here that night?
00:57:51 #960 And Albert came in so mysteriously with your handbag.
00:57:55 #961 You tell me.
00:57:56 #962 You crept up those back stairs, tapped on Benson's door.
00:58:02 #963 He was changing his collar. You remember Markham how it bothered him?
00:58:06 #964 walked in and shot him dead
00:58:09 #965 with one of those important derringes and silences of yours
00:58:12 #966 silences
00:58:14 #967 that's a hot one
00:58:15 #968 you heard the shot
00:58:16 #969 while I stood here with you
00:58:18 #970 the shot that killed Benson was silent
00:58:20 #971 no one heard it
00:58:22 #972 just as no one heard the shot which you fired at me gray and which wounded Mr. Markham
00:58:27 #973 here at the lodge however
00:58:28 #974 you arranged for a second shot to explode as Benson's body came tumbling down
00:58:32 #975 those stairs
00:58:34 #976 When I suppose the body waited up there for the second shot. Exactly.
00:58:38 #977 You arranged that too.
00:58:43 #978 As I had.
00:58:51 #979 Sir Dummy. A bird. Yes, sir.
00:58:54 #980 Supported at the head of the stairs by a piece of twine of the same kind that Mr. Gray cut from a pack of liquor in the basement that night.
00:59:01 #981 The twine was clustered to Benson's body and looped around a Newell post at the head of the stairs.
00:59:06 #982 I knew that the body must have been there for several minutes.
00:59:09 #983 So how did you know?
00:59:10 #984 Because if Benson had been shot immediately prior to her
00:59:13 #985 to her down the stairs,
00:59:15 #986 there couldn't possibly have been that couple of blood
00:59:17 #987 on the second step from the path, could that?
00:59:19 #988 Very interesting.
00:59:21 #989 But where were all these people while I was doing this
00:59:23 #990 kudini stuff?
00:59:24 #991 Do you think I'd take a chance of being walked in
00:59:26 #992 or unlike that?
00:59:28 #993 But what chance were you taking after you saw
00:59:30 #994 that Mrs. Banning was resting on the bed in her room?
00:59:34 #995 How did you know that?
00:59:36 #996 You're happy, Mrs. Banning. Thank you.
00:59:38 #997 It exactly matches this one, which I found on your pillow up there that night.
00:59:44 #998 From the impression of your figure on the bed, you must have been resting there for some time, weren't you?
00:59:49 #999 Yes. I was lying there on the short side.
00:59:52 #1000 All right. But what about Delroy and Marla?
00:59:55 #1001 This Delroy has already told her, he told her that was with her.
00:59:59 #1002 Discussing a pearl, I should think.
01:00:02 #1003 Mr. Marla has considerably explained to do, if you'll remember.
01:00:06 #1004 You listened outside their door and what you heard convinced you that they would
01:00:11 #1005 remain there for several minutes of lease. But how could he have timed the shop?
01:00:14 #1006 As I just did with the dummy. There's another of Benson's cartridge burglar
01:00:21 #1007 alarms like this one. You used the one Benson had stuck in the door of his
01:00:25 #1008 storeroom. You got it when you were down at the cellar that night. After you had
01:00:29 #1009 made sure that you would not be interrupted by Mrs. Banning and the others, you hung
01:00:33 #1010 the body and the alarm on the twine up there. Then you set fire to a loose end of the twine
01:00:39 #1011 so that when the flame reached the nut, the twine broke, the body fell, and the alarm
01:00:44 #1012 dropped to the floor where it exploded like this. You were first upstairs after the body
01:00:51 #1013 fell. You quickly dropped the derringer behind the neulose, picked up the alarm and the
01:00:57 #1014 the string, put them in your pocket, and told me to do my stuff, wasn't it?
01:01:04 #1015 Well, he went to kill Benson, you see, but surrounding it with the props he did was simply a camouflage,
01:01:12 #1016 I suppose, to be puttled the amateur.
01:01:15 #1017 You're going to have to turn to your sweet life trying to hang this on me.
01:01:19 #1018 The policewoman I used as a chambermaid in your hotel has already hung it on you.
01:01:25 #1019 She found Miss Delroy's pearl, which you stole that night after the shooting to
01:01:31 #1020 divert suspicion. Anything else? Oh yes. The coat you are Mr. Gray. It seems that
01:01:39 #1021 bits of fuzz from the twine you used were on Benson's wetfix. Also on the inside of
01:01:46 #1022 his pocket. The same pocket from which I saw you withdrawing your hand as I
01:01:50 #1023 followed you up the stairs. You know that isn't enough. Do you think any
01:01:54 #1024 a jury would go for that. Well if not I know they'll go for this. The club of
01:02:01 #1025 a little silence that affects your club of little guns. Another trophy from your
01:02:05 #1026 room Mr Gray also contributed by our policewoman. It's not enough. All right. You
01:02:15 #1027 are smart at me Vance. I'm game. I told you I'd watch over you. Thank you
01:02:44 #1028 That baby put these slugs mighty close to me.
01:02:47 #1029 I'll be at the outside.
01:02:53 #1030 I haven't been feeling right that.
01:02:54 #1031 All right.
01:02:55 #1032 I am taking care of you, darling, dear.
01:02:56 #1033 Sir, get that coat and cover him.
01:02:59 #1034 Yes, sir.
01:03:00 #1035 At you, doc.
01:03:03 #1036 With Sergeant Heath.
01:03:05 #1037 Mr. Bond, may I have the dual case now?
01:03:18 #1038 Oh, of course.
01:03:19 #1039 No one else knows about your daughter.
01:03:26 #1040 Thank you.
01:03:27 #1041 I was going to her, but they caught me leaving town.
01:03:31 #1042 If Benson had found this, he would have held it over me. Threatened.
01:03:35 #1043 Tell my little...
01:03:36 #1044 But I am.
01:03:38 #1045 Thank you, Mr. Vance, for not telling them about that.
01:03:43 #1046 It was Harry Gray, Mr. Vance.
01:03:50 #1047 It was me and it.
