Murder My Sweet
|
00:01:15 |
I remember you as a noisy little |
00:01:19 |
Is your book of answers lost, |
00:01:23 |
Maybe you don't think |
00:01:25 |
- Maybe I didn't do it. |
00:01:28 |
Look, Marlowe, we're arraigning you. |
00:01:30 |
We don't like you, but it ain't personal. |
00:01:33 |
We just follow a routine after a killing. |
00:01:35 |
Where's Randall? |
00:01:36 |
He asked us to talk to you, if that's okay. |
00:01:39 |
- Is he holding the kid? |
00:01:41 |
- Is she all right? |
00:01:43 |
- Where did you see her last? |
00:01:56 |
- How do you feel? |
00:02:00 |
- Cigarette? |
00:02:11 |
Want to make a statement? |
00:02:14 |
Boys tell me I did a couple of murders. |
00:02:18 |
You got a rope under my ears? |
00:02:21 |
I think you better let me have it. |
00:02:23 |
I'll have to hold it on you, |
00:02:26 |
Okay, Dowling. Bring in your notebook. |
00:02:33 |
We're all set. |
00:02:34 |
- The works? |
00:02:36 |
Some of it you know. If I misquote you... |
00:02:39 |
Let's get it on the record, |
00:02:42 |
With Malloy, then. |
00:02:45 |
It was about 7:00. Anyway, it was dark. |
00:02:48 |
- Why were you at the office that late? |
00:02:51 |
I always come back to the stinking coop |
00:02:54 |
I'd been peeking |
00:02:56 |
for a barber named Dominic |
00:03:01 |
I only took the job because my bank |
00:03:05 |
And I never found him. |
00:03:08 |
I just found out all over again |
00:03:12 |
My feet hurt. |
00:03:13 |
And my mind |
00:03:16 |
The office bottle hadn't sparked me up... |
00:03:18 |
so I'd taken out my little black book |
00:03:23 |
Nothing like soft shoulders |
00:03:29 |
The soft shoulders had a date, |
00:03:32 |
and was going to check right back. |
00:03:36 |
There's something about the dead silence |
00:03:40 |
Not quite real. |
00:03:42 |
The traffic down below was something |
00:04:00 |
I seen your name |
00:04:03 |
Yeah? |
00:04:06 |
I come up to see you. |
00:04:11 |
You're a private eye? |
00:04:13 |
That's right. |
00:04:18 |
I'd like you to look for somebody. |
00:04:22 |
I'm closed up, pal. Come around |
00:04:25 |
I looked for her where she worked... |
00:04:28 |
but I've been out of touch. |
00:04:30 |
Okay. Tomorrow. |
00:04:41 |
I'd like to show you where she worked. |
00:04:47 |
Okay. You show me where she worked. |
00:04:51 |
This way. |
00:04:55 |
The joint looked like trouble, |
00:04:58 |
Nothing bothered me. |
00:04:59 |
The two twenties felt nice and snug |
00:05:04 |
I tried to picture him in love |
00:05:08 |
They changed it a lot. |
00:05:10 |
There was a stage where she worked, |
00:05:14 |
Pink flowers was in the slatwork. |
00:05:17 |
She was cute as lace pants. |
00:05:20 |
A redhead. |
00:05:23 |
Eight years since I seen her. |
00:05:26 |
Six she didn't write, |
00:05:30 |
- What's she do, sing? |
00:05:33 |
Let's you and me go up |
00:05:54 |
Boss. |
00:06:09 |
- Whiskey. Call yours. |
00:06:12 |
You never heard of Velma? |
00:06:14 |
Look, Joe, I'm sorry about your girl. |
00:06:16 |
And I know how you feel, |
00:06:18 |
No girl's been here |
00:06:21 |
No show. No noise. |
00:06:23 |
I got a reputation for no trouble. |
00:06:31 |
She used to work here. |
00:06:34 |
You ask him about Velma. |
00:06:36 |
We've been over all that. Drink up, Joe. |
00:06:50 |
You remember Velma? |
00:06:52 |
I'll have to request |
00:06:55 |
So far you rate me polite? |
00:07:15 |
Some guys has the wrong ideas |
00:07:20 |
Whiskey. |
00:07:21 |
Come on. Eight years is a lot of gin. |
00:07:25 |
- Who asked you to stick your face in? |
00:07:29 |
I'm the guy who came in with you, chunky. |
00:07:32 |
Moose. The name is Moose. |
00:07:36 |
- Moose Malloy. You heard of me, maybe? |
00:07:41 |
They changed it a lot. |
00:07:43 |
There was a stage |
00:07:46 |
You said that. |
00:07:48 |
I'm beginning not to like it here. |
00:08:04 |
- Maybe I told you too much. |
00:08:07 |
- We was to be married. |
00:08:09 |
Where do you figure I've been away |
00:08:12 |
Catching butterflies. |
00:08:14 |
I put away a few grand before I went up. |
00:08:17 |
- You been in the caboose ever? |
00:08:21 |
Okay. You find Velma. |
00:08:24 |
- She got a last name? |
00:08:30 |
- How will I get in touch with you? |
00:08:39 |
I spent a buck in another bar |
00:08:42 |
Mike Florian ran the joint until 1939. |
00:08:44 |
He died in 1940 |
00:08:48 |
His wife Jessie finished it for him. |
00:08:50 |
Tracing her was easy. I could do that. |
00:08:52 |
A bright third grader |
00:08:55 |
He needed a private detective. |
00:08:58 |
She was a charming middle-aged lady |
00:09:02 |
I gave her a drink. |
00:09:05 |
if she had to knock you down |
00:09:07 |
That liquor's been keeping |
00:09:13 |
Just hold it careful, mister. |
00:09:21 |
What was it we was talking about? |
00:09:23 |
The red-headed girl named Velma Valento. |
00:09:26 |
Used to work in your husband's place |
00:09:29 |
Who was it you said you was, mister? |
00:09:34 |
There. |
00:09:38 |
A private cop. |
00:09:40 |
You didn't say that, mister... |
00:09:43 |
but I knew you wasn't no regular cop. |
00:09:46 |
No regular cop |
00:09:48 |
Do you remember Velma? |
00:09:50 |
- Who was that, copper? |
00:09:54 |
No. I don't seem to right off. |
00:09:59 |
What was it you said you wanted her for? |
00:10:01 |
I'm tracing her for a client of mine. |
00:10:07 |
I shouldn't ought to sit here |
00:10:10 |
but when I like a guy |
00:10:13 |
the ceiling is the limit. |
00:10:18 |
Hold on to your chair |
00:10:22 |
I got an idea. |
00:10:30 |
No peeking. |
00:11:08 |
Them is all Mike left me, |
00:11:14 |
Publicity, that is. |
00:11:16 |
But them dolls didn't never get |
00:11:19 |
at least not in connection with the place, |
00:11:41 |
Why did you hide this picture of Velma? |
00:11:44 |
Give it to me! |
00:11:48 |
She's dead. |
00:11:50 |
She was a nice kid... |
00:11:53 |
but she's dead. |
00:11:55 |
- Moose will be sorry to hear that. |
00:12:01 |
Yeah, he's out. He's out, |
00:12:04 |
Why did you hide her picture? |
00:12:06 |
I don't know anybody |
00:12:09 |
Beat it! |
00:12:13 |
I don't know anybody |
00:12:54 |
Suddenly, she wasn't drunk anymore. |
00:12:57 |
Her hand was steady, and she was cool... |
00:13:01 |
like somebody making |
00:13:05 |
not yet committed. |
00:13:14 |
Hello, sweetheart. |
00:13:15 |
I let in a guy a couple hours ago. |
00:13:17 |
He said it was important. Okay? |
00:13:20 |
He's in love and in a big hurry. |
00:13:24 |
- Cute little fella, isn't he? |
00:13:28 |
- Sober? |
00:13:32 |
He smells real nice. |
00:13:50 |
Mr. Marlowe? |
00:13:53 |
I took the liberty |
00:13:58 |
The attendant gave me the impression |
00:14:01 |
Who put in the pitch for me, Mr. Marriott? |
00:14:02 |
- I beg your pardon? |
00:14:06 |
As a matter of fact... |
00:14:08 |
I decided to employ a private investigator |
00:14:11 |
This being Saturday afternoon, |
00:14:14 |
and was somewhat at a loss as to... |
00:14:18 |
The directory listed several in this |
00:14:21 |
I'm in a clutch at the moment. |
00:14:24 |
I'm pretty busy. |
00:14:26 |
What's the job? |
00:14:34 |
I'll require your services |
00:14:37 |
I'm meeting some men |
00:14:40 |
I'm paying them some money. |
00:14:42 |
You better get your flaps down, |
00:14:45 |
What's the deal, blackmail? |
00:14:46 |
I'm not in the habit |
00:14:51 |
I've simply agreed to serve |
00:14:54 |
- How much and what for? |
00:14:57 |
You just want me to go along |
00:15:00 |
I'm afraid I don't like your manner. |
00:15:02 |
I've had complaints about it. |
00:15:05 |
How much are you offering me |
00:15:08 |
I really hadn't gotten around |
00:15:11 |
You suppose you can get around |
00:15:14 |
How would you like |
00:15:20 |
I tremble at the thought of such violence. |
00:15:28 |
I'm offering $100 |
00:15:30 |
If that isn't enough, say so. |
00:15:34 |
Some jewels were taken |
00:15:37 |
- I'm buying them back. |
00:15:40 |
The arrangements specify that I drive |
00:15:44 |
Wait a minute. |
00:15:45 |
You drive to a nice, dark petting spot, |
00:15:49 |
- to buy back jewelry for a lady... |
00:15:51 |
...and what you get will be a package |
00:15:56 |
There's nothing to prevent them |
00:15:59 |
I certainly couldn't do anything to stop it. |
00:16:01 |
Every move's planned. They aren't figuring |
00:16:05 |
But they wouldn't like you being twins. |
00:16:09 |
I'm afraid I can't do anything |
00:16:14 |
But I'll take your $100 |
00:16:20 |
I carry the shopping money, too, |
00:16:36 |
We were watched. |
00:16:37 |
I didn't see anything. |
00:16:41 |
I was a toad on a wet rock. |
00:16:43 |
A snake was looking |
00:16:45 |
- There should be some white posts soon. |
00:16:51 |
A path there goes down into the hollow |
00:16:56 |
Check: White posts. |
00:17:05 |
You sit tight. |
00:18:36 |
Looks like a tryout |
00:18:53 |
I caught the blackjack right behind my ear. |
00:18:56 |
A black pool opened up at my feet. |
00:18:59 |
I dived in. It had no bottom. |
00:19:03 |
I felt pretty good... like an amputated leg. |
00:19:25 |
Are you all right? What happened? |
00:20:08 |
He was doubled up on his face... |
00:20:10 |
in that bag-of-old-clothes position |
00:20:14 |
He had been killed by an amateur... |
00:20:17 |
or by somebody who wanted it |
00:20:22 |
Nobody else would hit a man |
00:20:34 |
The oftener you go over it, |
00:20:36 |
You know nothing about Marriott, how |
00:20:41 |
Trusting soul, wasn't he? |
00:20:44 |
Sorry I don't have it. |
00:20:47 |
and just before I hit myself on the back |
00:20:52 |
Supposing a jewel outfit got the idea |
00:20:56 |
for contacts and payoffs. |
00:20:58 |
Suppose they ran out of uses for him. |
00:21:01 |
They might try |
00:21:03 |
Great. |
00:21:05 |
Now I'm a finger for a heist mob. |
00:21:08 |
Look, I try to be helpful. |
00:21:10 |
I get up off the nice cold ground |
00:21:14 |
right after having my head treated. |
00:21:16 |
I lead you to the body instead of |
00:21:19 |
I tell you all I know, four times! |
00:21:21 |
It sounds screwy. All right, it is screwy. |
00:21:24 |
Sometimes I'm not smart, |
00:21:27 |
I'm tired of listening to your bum guesses. |
00:21:29 |
Either book me or let me go home. |
00:21:31 |
Getting personal, |
00:21:34 |
I don't like sitting here. |
00:21:37 |
I'd rather dig eggshells out of garbage |
00:21:41 |
- I get it. You don't like me. |
00:21:45 |
You're a not a detective, |
00:21:47 |
You'd slit your own throat for six bits. |
00:21:50 |
- Now, look... |
00:21:52 |
One false move, and you'll be locked up |
00:21:55 |
It's that kind of a case, with the witnesses |
00:21:59 |
I'll get them their murderer. |
00:22:01 |
You'll get him about the time |
00:22:05 |
Okay. Go on home to bed. |
00:22:08 |
Stick to your story if you want. |
00:22:11 |
but stay out of my way. |
00:22:13 |
And stay out of the way of Marriott's pals. |
00:22:16 |
I've been after these boys for a long time, |
00:22:19 |
So watch your step... |
00:22:20 |
or I may have to pick you up |
00:22:26 |
Yeah? |
00:22:29 |
- Is Amthor mixed up in this? |
00:22:33 |
I know lots of people in this town... |
00:22:35 |
but I never heard of Jules Amthor. |
00:22:45 |
Business is getting better. And prettier. |
00:22:54 |
Mr. Marlowe, I'm Miss Allison, The Post. |
00:22:57 |
The police aren't being helpful |
00:23:00 |
How did you know about me? |
00:23:02 |
I have friends at the City Hall, naturally. |
00:23:06 |
I'd just get you in a lot of trouble. |
00:23:08 |
Did Marriott tell you |
00:23:12 |
They'll never know where I heard it, |
00:23:16 |
I'll be in a much better |
00:23:19 |
Come in, Miss Allison. Have a seat. |
00:23:23 |
No, I wasn't told who owned the jade. |
00:23:28 |
- Had you known Marriott some time? |
00:23:32 |
Did you have any theories about what |
00:23:36 |
One or two. |
00:23:38 |
- You do your own typing, Miss Allison? |
00:23:42 |
I'm not always this brilliant, Miss... |
00:23:45 |
Miss Grayle. |
00:23:47 |
But I'm improving. |
00:23:49 |
What do you do besides playing reporter? |
00:23:56 |
You're a hot rock anyway. |
00:23:59 |
All I could tell them last night was that |
00:24:03 |
You'd impress them |
00:24:05 |
Have you ever known a Velma Valento, |
00:24:09 |
It was another case, anyway. |
00:24:14 |
Did your friends at City Hall |
00:24:19 |
- Who does it belong to? |
00:24:23 |
We won't get anyplace |
00:24:26 |
- I'll take my answer first. |
00:24:29 |
I'm interested in the jade, |
00:24:32 |
because I'd like to know who besides me |
00:24:36 |
He gave me $100 |
00:24:39 |
I'm a small businessman |
00:24:42 |
but I like to follow through on a sale. |
00:24:44 |
The jade belongs to my father. |
00:24:47 |
I got it from Marriott it belonged to a lady. |
00:24:49 |
My father happens to be married. |
00:24:52 |
Yes, of course he would be. |
00:24:55 |
Then your mother was wearing it |
00:24:58 |
She's not my mother. |
00:25:02 |
Which one sent you here to feel me out? |
00:25:05 |
It was my own brilliant idea. |
00:25:10 |
Before I see the police, |
00:25:14 |
and your father's wife. |
00:25:17 |
Open the door. |
00:25:24 |
It was a nice little front yard. |
00:25:28 |
only you'd need a compass |
00:25:31 |
The house was all right, too, |
00:25:36 |
I had to wait |
00:25:38 |
It was like waiting to buy a crypt |
00:25:41 |
Mr. Marlowe. |
00:25:53 |
Mr. Marlowe, Father. |
00:25:55 |
- How do you do? |
00:25:56 |
It's good of you to come. |
00:25:58 |
This is Mrs. Grayle. |
00:26:04 |
Are you familiar with jade, Mr. Marlowe? |
00:26:11 |
What do you know about jade? |
00:26:13 |
It's green, isn't it? |
00:26:16 |
Yeah. No, thanks. |
00:26:18 |
Jade, Mr. Marlowe... |
00:26:19 |
is not sufficiently known |
00:26:24 |
The great rulers of the East, however... |
00:26:26 |
- Sit down, won't you? |
00:26:27 |
The great rulers of the East have treated it |
00:26:33 |
They've spent years |
00:26:36 |
Fei-ts'ui jade, in which I, as a collector... |
00:26:40 |
am particularly interested, |
00:26:46 |
I'm afraid, |
00:26:49 |
I'm inclined to be a bit of a bore. |
00:26:51 |
Keep going. |
00:26:52 |
But since my daughter |
00:26:56 |
injudiciously perhaps... |
00:26:58 |
I was already in it up to my eyebrows. |
00:27:00 |
I take it the whatchamacallit you lost |
00:27:05 |
A necklace, Mr. Marlowe. |
00:27:08 |
A necklace. 60 beads |
00:27:12 |
- Worth how much? |
00:27:15 |
The Chinese government |
00:27:19 |
which once brought as much as $125,000. |
00:27:24 |
You were about to ask, Mr. Marlowe, |
00:27:29 |
as to go out in the evening |
00:27:34 |
Something like that. |
00:27:37 |
It's unanswerable. I shouldn't have. |
00:27:39 |
I never should have worn it out. |
00:27:42 |
Where was the stickup? |
00:27:44 |
If you'll excuse me, |
00:27:48 |
But Mrs. Grayle will tell you |
00:27:53 |
Goodbye, sir. |
00:27:58 |
We're naturally anxious |
00:28:02 |
I only hope it can be managed |
00:28:05 |
Yeah. So do I. |
00:28:08 |
Let's dispense |
00:28:13 |
- Would you mind... |
00:28:16 |
I didn't think |
00:28:19 |
to make detecting very attractive |
00:28:22 |
I stir up trouble on the side. |
00:28:24 |
How much money |
00:28:27 |
$8,000. |
00:28:28 |
- Cheap at the price. |
00:28:30 |
We guessed |
00:28:34 |
Who knew you'd be wearing the necklace |
00:28:37 |
My maid, perhaps, |
00:28:40 |
- Besides, I trust her. |
00:28:43 |
I don't know. I trust some people. |
00:28:45 |
- I trust you. |
00:28:48 |
Not in some things. In others, yes. |
00:28:54 |
I thought detectives were heavy drinkers. |
00:28:57 |
Some of them are. |
00:28:59 |
Some of them just encourage |
00:29:02 |
- Shall I tell you about the holdup? |
00:29:05 |
Lin and I had been out dancing. |
00:29:08 |
- Where were you stopped? |
00:29:11 |
Does it matter a lot? |
00:29:14 |
Not too much at the moment. |
00:29:15 |
How many other Marriotts are there: |
00:29:18 |
Pretty guys who take you dancing? |
00:29:20 |
I'm very fond of my husband. |
00:29:23 |
Only his two-step's getting a little stiff. |
00:29:26 |
Do you know a Jules Amthor? |
00:29:27 |
- I've heard Lin speak of him. Why? |
00:29:30 |
The cops told me to leave him alone. |
00:29:34 |
- Is he a bad boy? |
00:29:38 |
Lin was rather a heel himself... |
00:29:41 |
but he was a nice heel. |
00:29:43 |
The papers didn't say much |
00:29:47 |
- How... |
00:29:50 |
If an elephant had stepped |
00:29:53 |
How awful. |
00:29:55 |
I feel so responsible now, |
00:30:00 |
I don't understand. |
00:30:02 |
I've tried to put it together |
00:30:06 |
You know, there was something peculiar |
00:30:09 |
They gave me back one of my rings. |
00:30:14 |
- What's Amthor's racket? |
00:30:17 |
Some sort of psychic consultant. |
00:30:21 |
You see, Lin fancied himself a sculptor, |
00:30:25 |
That's why he went to him originally. |
00:30:28 |
He couldn't get started for fear of failure. |
00:30:34 |
I wonder if he'd take my case. |
00:30:45 |
- Who was that? |
00:30:49 |
Strange child. |
00:30:57 |
You will help me, won't you? |
00:30:59 |
Is this for love, or are you paying me |
00:31:05 |
I never hired a detective before. |
00:31:08 |
As much as the traffic will bear. |
00:31:10 |
- When can you start? |
00:31:12 |
How do I find Amthor? |
00:31:13 |
I'll see if I can smoke him out for you. |
00:31:17 |
- Yes? |
00:31:20 |
Show him in. |
00:31:23 |
Don't look so judicial. |
00:31:28 |
I hadn't the faintest idea he was coming. |
00:31:35 |
How do you spend your evenings? |
00:31:36 |
Recently, I've been playing |
00:31:39 |
- And then where do you go? |
00:31:43 |
Let's see what's on his mind. |
00:31:45 |
I'm sorry. |
00:31:48 |
This is Mr. Marlowe. Mr. Amthor. |
00:31:50 |
Mr. Marlowe's a private detective. |
00:31:53 |
I was hired as a bodyguard |
00:31:56 |
Now I'm investigating myself. |
00:31:58 |
You must forgive me |
00:32:02 |
These things are so difficult to believe. |
00:32:05 |
Close friend, someone you know so well... |
00:32:08 |
- What could have happened? |
00:32:11 |
When could you help me work them out? |
00:32:13 |
I wouldn't make a good detective, |
00:32:16 |
I know. You are inaccessible. |
00:32:19 |
In what way do you think I could help you? |
00:32:22 |
I spent last night with the police. |
00:32:25 |
They took it for granted |
00:32:29 |
They told me not to get too close to you, |
00:32:32 |
You look harmless to me. |
00:32:34 |
I'd be glad to arrange an interview if... |
00:32:36 |
Just leave the number with Mrs. Grayle. |
00:32:40 |
Don't go to any special trouble. |
00:32:54 |
- How do you get out of this funhouse? |
00:33:03 |
Come in. |
00:33:05 |
It's on the bed. |
00:33:11 |
This is six weeks |
00:33:14 |
You must be in love. |
00:33:16 |
Bring it back tomorrow. |
00:33:30 |
You've got a nice build |
00:33:34 |
It gets me around. |
00:33:36 |
How does one get to be |
00:33:39 |
You don't mind my sizing you up a little? |
00:33:42 |
Most are ex-cops. |
00:33:45 |
- Not for incompetence, surely. |
00:33:48 |
I had an interesting childhood, too, but |
00:33:52 |
I thought you'd like to know |
00:33:55 |
and I wanted to make it official. |
00:33:57 |
Shall we call this a retainer? |
00:34:04 |
Yeah, let's call it a retainer. |
00:34:06 |
If the cops get to you, you sent for me. |
00:34:09 |
I didn't want to take the case. |
00:34:12 |
- You hired me. |
00:34:15 |
Would that bother you? |
00:34:17 |
We live pretty much by ourselves. |
00:34:19 |
And my husband has a morbid fear |
00:34:23 |
He's not very strong. |
00:34:24 |
I'll manage it. How did it go with Amthor? |
00:34:27 |
I'm stubborn. I don't like being rushed. |
00:34:29 |
I figured, the way you're dressed, |
00:34:34 |
I was hoping |
00:34:38 |
or don't you ever relax |
00:34:40 |
Not in public. It's too crowded. |
00:34:42 |
Do you like the Coconut Beach Club? |
00:34:44 |
Never been there. I'm the drive-in type. |
00:34:47 |
The lights would be flattering to you. |
00:34:49 |
They might even mellow you a little. |
00:34:52 |
It's the sort of place |
00:34:56 |
Be right with you. |
00:35:28 |
- I think I'll put some powder my nose. |
00:35:45 |
Mr. Marlowe. |
00:35:47 |
Look... |
00:35:49 |
I like you, but I'm too old to play games. |
00:35:52 |
If you're jealous of your stepmother, |
00:35:56 |
She'll be here soon, and I don't want |
00:35:59 |
There's no danger. |
00:36:02 |
Helen's gone by now. |
00:36:03 |
- What do you mean sidetracked? |
00:36:06 |
I'm just staying long enough |
00:36:09 |
Tell me, are you a member of a |
00:36:12 |
or do you get all your information |
00:36:15 |
- What did she ask you to do? |
00:36:18 |
She wanted me to kiss her |
00:36:21 |
I may have the order wrong, |
00:36:24 |
You said you were a businessman. |
00:36:26 |
Whatever she was willing to pay you, |
00:36:29 |
Just stay away from her. |
00:36:33 |
What's the matter? |
00:36:36 |
I don't know. |
00:36:39 |
Surely I'm not corrupting you. |
00:36:42 |
I seem to remember you |
00:36:45 |
- One of the better ones. |
00:36:54 |
Well? |
00:36:58 |
Stick around. I'll be right back. |
00:37:10 |
Ditch the babe. |
00:37:11 |
What's the matter with you? |
00:37:14 |
Ditch the babe. |
00:37:16 |
Look, I'm a big boy now. |
00:37:19 |
You hired me. Now stop following me, |
00:37:21 |
- Ditch the babe. I'd like you to meet a guy. |
00:37:25 |
Soon gangrene will set in, in those fingers. |
00:37:27 |
- I'd like you to meet a guy. |
00:38:00 |
You do go for the showgirl type, |
00:38:04 |
- Cute, huh? |
00:38:53 |
What's the matter with going up the front |
00:39:01 |
Come on. |
00:39:05 |
That's just part of my clothes. |
00:39:49 |
On clear days, Mr. Marlowe, you can see |
00:39:56 |
I trust you brought your crystal ball. |
00:40:04 |
I don't get it. |
00:40:06 |
You mean there are some things |
00:40:09 |
I've always credited the private detective |
00:40:13 |
Or is that only true in rental fiction? |
00:40:16 |
I'd like you to ask him now. |
00:40:17 |
- Don't be impatient. |
00:40:20 |
- Can't you do your own asking? |
00:40:23 |
The boss wants a nice, quiet talk |
00:40:32 |
I believe you wanted to discuss |
00:40:36 |
I usually come in through the front door, |
00:40:39 |
I merely wanted to take you |
00:40:42 |
An old psychological trick. |
00:40:46 |
Where did you pick up Malloy? |
00:40:50 |
My dear Mr. Marlowe... |
00:40:51 |
I notice in you an unpleasant tendency |
00:40:56 |
A characteristic of your generation. |
00:40:58 |
In this case, I must ask you |
00:41:01 |
Now, about the police... |
00:41:04 |
Maybe they got something on you |
00:41:07 |
I didn't expect you to tell me which. |
00:41:10 |
It's an old psychological trick, grandpa. |
00:41:15 |
What's your racket? |
00:41:17 |
I am in a very sensitive profession. |
00:41:21 |
I am a quack. |
00:41:23 |
Which is to say, I'm ahead of my time |
00:41:27 |
Naturally, certain elements |
00:41:30 |
It's entirely possible |
00:41:34 |
That is it. |
00:41:37 |
Sorry if I've upset your theories about me, |
00:41:41 |
My theory's pretty simple. |
00:41:44 |
Marriott was a blackmailer of women. |
00:41:48 |
Women liked him around. His interest |
00:41:53 |
But he wasn't the whole works. Somebody |
00:41:57 |
so he could load them with ice, |
00:41:59 |
then slip to the phone |
00:42:04 |
And that is your picture |
00:42:10 |
I am slightly disgusted |
00:42:17 |
Don't look now, |
00:42:20 |
I am very disappointed in you. |
00:42:23 |
Your thinking is untidy, |
00:42:27 |
You depress me. |
00:42:30 |
Suppose your theory were correct... |
00:42:32 |
I would have Mrs. Grayle's jade now, |
00:42:34 |
- Unless something went wrong. |
00:42:38 |
Marriott could have lost his nerve |
00:42:42 |
Take a private dick who'd risk his neck |
00:42:45 |
He might get ambitious. |
00:42:47 |
He might figure an expensive necklace |
00:42:51 |
This hypothetical detective of yours... |
00:42:54 |
he might be willing to part |
00:42:58 |
Could be, if he had it. |
00:42:59 |
How big a consideration? |
00:43:02 |
It would be difficult to discuss that |
00:43:05 |
He might be bluffing, |
00:43:08 |
In which case, a great thinker might try |
00:43:13 |
You wouldn't suggest that? |
00:43:18 |
Only if you wanted |
00:43:23 |
No need for us to be |
00:43:26 |
There's really no need for subterfuge. |
00:43:29 |
I want that jade. |
00:43:30 |
I'm prepared to buy it from you |
00:43:33 |
or if you can get it. |
00:43:35 |
Supposing I haven't got it... |
00:43:37 |
or supposing I don't want to sell... |
00:43:43 |
You get him to tell you yet? |
00:43:46 |
He refuses to tell me where she is. |
00:43:49 |
I gave you some dough to find Velma. |
00:43:51 |
- I don't like you not telling where she is. |
00:43:56 |
- I don't like nobody to kid with me. |
00:44:00 |
Take it easy. We'll get it out of him. |
00:44:06 |
How'd you get mixed up with these guys? |
00:44:09 |
He's okay. He tells me about you. |
00:44:11 |
If he tells you I know where Velma is, |
00:44:13 |
He just picked you up to do his dirty work. |
00:44:15 |
He's after jewelry. He thinks I've got it. |
00:44:18 |
- I paid you to find her. |
00:44:21 |
- Where you got her? |
00:44:24 |
Where's the necklace? |
00:44:26 |
You shouldn't have done that. |
00:44:36 |
Let him breathe a little. |
00:44:39 |
- Where's the necklace? |
00:44:42 |
All right. A little more. |
00:44:47 |
Let him go. He's tame. |
00:44:55 |
I could teach you, but to what purpose? |
00:44:59 |
A dirty, stupid little man |
00:45:02 |
One spot of brightness on you, |
00:45:05 |
Isn't that so? |
00:45:12 |
I'm glad you hit me. It helps. |
00:45:16 |
Helps me a great deal. |
00:45:26 |
The black pool opened up at my feet again, |
00:45:31 |
Next thing I remember, |
00:45:33 |
It was not my idea. |
00:45:37 |
The rest of it was a crazy, |
00:45:40 |
I had never been there before. |
00:45:49 |
Where's the necklace? |
00:46:11 |
You shouldn't have hit me. |
00:46:59 |
The window was open, |
00:47:04 |
It was a gray web, woven by 1,000 spiders. |
00:47:08 |
I wondered how they got them |
00:47:18 |
Help! |
00:47:26 |
What strikes you funny, pally? |
00:47:30 |
- The smoke. |
00:47:39 |
- Where am I? |
00:47:42 |
Anything else, pally? |
00:47:45 |
The doors are too small. |
00:47:49 |
The stairs are made of dough. |
00:47:51 |
I think this guy's nuts. |
00:47:56 |
Skip it. |
00:47:59 |
- I think I'll take myself a nap again. |
00:48:24 |
My throat felt sore... |
00:48:26 |
but the fingers feeling it |
00:48:29 |
They were just a bunch of bananas |
00:48:40 |
I wondered what I was shot full of. |
00:48:43 |
Something to keep me quiet |
00:48:48 |
Maybe both. |
00:48:56 |
Okay, Marlowe, I said to myself, |
00:49:00 |
You've been sapped twice, choked, |
00:49:04 |
shot in the arm until you're |
00:49:08 |
Now let's see you |
00:49:11 |
like putting your pants on. |
00:49:43 |
Okay, you cuckoo, walk and talk. |
00:49:46 |
What about? Anything. Everything. |
00:49:49 |
Just talk and keep walking. |
00:49:54 |
That's a beautiful bed. |
00:49:57 |
Stay off it! |
00:50:00 |
Walk! |
00:50:12 |
I walked. I don't know how long. |
00:50:15 |
I didn't have a watch. |
00:50:17 |
They don't make that kind of time |
00:50:29 |
I was ready to talk to somebody. |
00:51:10 |
Help! Help! |
00:51:20 |
That'll quiet your nerves, pally. |
00:52:42 |
The buzzer won't |
00:52:45 |
I just gave nursey a sleeping tablet. |
00:52:53 |
For three days, you've been |
00:52:58 |
I cannot recommend |
00:53:05 |
I had a nightmare. A lot of crazy things. |
00:53:08 |
I slept. |
00:53:10 |
I woke up, |
00:53:12 |
I was a sick man. |
00:53:17 |
Here I am, all cured. |
00:53:22 |
- What were you saying? |
00:53:26 |
Remarks want you to make them. |
00:53:28 |
They got their tongues hanging out |
00:53:31 |
I'm Dr. Sonderborg. |
00:53:33 |
You've been suffering |
00:53:36 |
On account of you pumped me |
00:53:39 |
Speak up, Dr. Jekyll! |
00:53:43 |
I want to go dance in the foam. |
00:53:48 |
I haven't shot a man in a week. |
00:53:51 |
You very nearly died, sir. |
00:53:55 |
Also a little something to make me talk? |
00:54:00 |
Maybe about a jade necklace |
00:54:02 |
Was I good telling you |
00:54:06 |
Did the customers like me? |
00:54:13 |
Never disappoint Mr. Amthor. |
00:54:17 |
It depresses him. |
00:54:23 |
You're not well, Mr. Marlowe. |
00:54:26 |
You may collapse at any time. |
00:54:31 |
Please give me this. |
00:54:37 |
Now the gun, please. |
00:54:40 |
The gun, please. |
00:54:44 |
I strongly advise... |
00:54:47 |
Tie a ribbon on the one |
00:54:50 |
When you got a gun, people are |
00:54:53 |
I'm afraid you're going |
00:54:56 |
Tie a ribbon on it! |
00:55:09 |
The girls must have a great time with you. |
00:55:35 |
- I'm booked, captain. |
00:55:37 |
I'm booked, captain. |
00:55:59 |
You ain't in good shape. |
00:56:02 |
- I'll murder you. |
00:56:05 |
- Maybe you were just making love to me. |
00:56:10 |
You're nuts. You're crazy as a rabbit. |
00:56:14 |
- He sent after me. |
00:56:18 |
- He was kidding with me. |
00:56:22 |
He was waving a fish in front of your nose, |
00:56:26 |
Nobody's supposed to find her. |
00:56:32 |
- You ain't in good shape. I better help you. |
00:56:41 |
- Listen! |
00:56:44 |
Look, I got a fare and I'm on waiting time. |
00:56:52 |
- I'd like you to take my friend. |
00:57:00 |
I said something wrong there. I knew it. |
00:57:02 |
The big stir-bug was |
00:57:04 |
His brain was working. |
00:57:06 |
I don't know what happened to it, |
00:57:12 |
I wanted to sleep |
00:57:14 |
but I couldn't. |
00:57:16 |
Nulty was watching my apartment. |
00:57:19 |
So I decided to call on Ann |
00:57:24 |
and if she really liked it. |
00:57:46 |
- What do you want? |
00:57:49 |
- Go away. |
00:57:58 |
This is a nice place. |
00:58:06 |
But why? |
00:58:09 |
An old ballroom or something |
00:58:12 |
Or don't you like it out there? |
00:58:19 |
I'm all broke up with cops, honey. |
00:58:22 |
They're hanging all over my place |
00:58:25 |
They may just want to chat, |
00:58:28 |
- I'll have to live here a couple of days. |
00:58:33 |
That's no way to talk to your loved one... |
00:58:35 |
when he comes home to you |
00:58:38 |
Helen fixed me a blind date with Amthor |
00:58:42 |
- What happened? Are you all right? |
00:58:47 |
I don't think I'm supposed to be alive... |
00:58:51 |
- Say that again. |
00:58:53 |
The last thing you said. |
00:58:55 |
I said, "What happened? |
00:59:01 |
What's the matter? |
00:59:05 |
Why do you keep looking at me |
00:59:09 |
What were you doing in the canyon |
00:59:12 |
I just remember how it happened. |
00:59:14 |
I was lying on my face |
00:59:17 |
Somebody threw a flashlight on me |
00:59:21 |
And then she said, "What happened?" |
00:59:25 |
A girl with red hair, a crooked nose, |
00:59:29 |
- I didn't kill Marriott. |
00:59:32 |
You found out |
00:59:34 |
Knowing you, I'd say you overheard |
00:59:37 |
making some sort of arrangements |
00:59:41 |
You knew they had been holding hands. |
00:59:43 |
- You didn't like that. |
00:59:45 |
You don't like anybody |
00:59:48 |
- Are you trying to reform her? |
00:59:51 |
That doesn't make sense. |
00:59:53 |
I hate her, but she's married to my father |
00:59:57 |
I'm fond of my father. |
01:00:00 |
It's not something you'd understand, |
01:00:05 |
I just don't want anything to hurt him. |
01:00:08 |
A guy playing around with his wife... |
01:00:10 |
a guy like Marriott: That would hurt him. |
01:00:12 |
If he killed Marriott, you'd protect him. |
01:00:15 |
- There's no age limit on jealous husbands. |
01:00:19 |
I don't buy it, either... yet. |
01:00:22 |
I was just trying it on for size. |
01:00:26 |
I don't know how you showed up at my |
01:00:39 |
- Whose handwriting is this? |
01:00:42 |
You went through his pockets? |
01:00:45 |
- How'd you like to work for me? |
01:00:49 |
I'm also tired of you. |
01:00:51 |
I can't. There's a little bundle |
01:00:56 |
who's playing at not looking like a cop. |
01:00:58 |
But he's terrible at it. |
01:01:01 |
Get rid of him. |
01:01:02 |
Tell him you decided |
01:01:11 |
- Yes? |
01:01:14 |
- Well, I really don't... |
01:01:16 |
Excuse me. |
01:01:17 |
Thanks to you guys, |
01:01:20 |
I've been looking for you for three days. |
01:01:22 |
We were sitting down to soft-boiled eggs |
01:01:26 |
The last time I saw you, |
01:01:28 |
- I guess it didn't take. |
01:01:32 |
I didn't get around to it. He got to me. |
01:01:35 |
- He gave me quite a party. |
01:01:40 |
What'll it buy me? This is straight. |
01:01:43 |
You'd like to get Amthor, |
01:01:46 |
He annoyed me a little. |
01:01:50 |
I just get to finish my dinner. |
01:01:53 |
- Okay. |
01:01:59 |
Amthor's a tough cookie. |
01:02:01 |
He works some complicated |
01:02:03 |
who come to him |
01:02:06 |
- I think Marriott was his contact man. |
01:02:10 |
The jewelry Marriott was buying back |
01:02:13 |
belonging to one of Amthor's patients, |
01:02:19 |
Marriott might've been crossing Amthor. |
01:02:22 |
- It's a lot of theory. Let's go. |
01:02:26 |
He figured wrong. I disappointed him. |
01:02:30 |
But he has a little rest home |
01:02:34 |
It's operated by a guy |
01:02:38 |
He's a whiz with a hypo. |
01:02:45 |
- Who owns this jade? |
01:02:50 |
- By the name of? |
01:02:54 |
Sorry to bother you, Miss Grayle. |
01:02:57 |
When were you out last |
01:03:00 |
Not for several days. Is something wrong? |
01:03:05 |
I'm buying your information this time. |
01:03:08 |
I might get grateful and lock you up. |
01:03:16 |
- How could he know about me? |
01:03:19 |
That's what happens when a cop |
01:03:22 |
Fix your face. |
01:03:27 |
What is it? |
01:03:29 |
It's funny. |
01:03:31 |
Always have to stop and eat something. |
01:03:43 |
You haven't got a razor, have you? |
01:03:46 |
Never mind. I'll have to stop at my place, |
01:03:50 |
I think I've got another one |
01:03:55 |
- I'm a little beat for this kind of work. |
01:04:00 |
You go barging around |
01:04:03 |
Everybody bats you down, |
01:04:06 |
fills you full of stuff... |
01:04:08 |
and you keep right on hitting |
01:04:11 |
I don't think you even know |
01:04:14 |
I don't know which side anybody's on. |
01:04:19 |
Whatever's happening, |
01:04:22 |
- He's no match for anybody. |
01:04:24 |
Randall probably picked up a scent |
01:04:28 |
He may not have reached your father. |
01:04:32 |
Skip the water and make that with scotch. |
01:04:51 |
He must be in his workshop. |
01:05:05 |
Father. |
01:05:07 |
- What are you going to do? |
01:05:12 |
- I am frightened. |
01:05:15 |
- Yes. What's it all about? |
01:05:19 |
Did they talk to your wife? |
01:05:20 |
No. She's not been here |
01:05:25 |
- Has she been with you? |
01:05:29 |
They seemed interested principally |
01:05:32 |
It was rented to Mr. Marriott |
01:05:35 |
That probably held up Randall |
01:05:38 |
- Okay. Let's have a look at it. |
01:05:41 |
- Yeah, why not? |
01:05:44 |
- The whole thing's gone too far. |
01:05:48 |
I don't say you killed Marriott, but you |
01:05:53 |
Look, pop, the cops are moving now. |
01:05:56 |
They're going to tag somebody. |
01:05:58 |
As long as I'm on the payroll, |
01:06:01 |
I don't work by push buttons. |
01:06:03 |
I stop and I go |
01:06:07 |
Forgive me, Mr. Marlowe. |
01:06:10 |
Forgive me, please. |
01:06:13 |
It's unnecessary for me to say |
01:06:17 |
I only have two interests in life: |
01:06:21 |
And, of course, my daughter here. |
01:06:25 |
But my wife's the most important. |
01:06:28 |
- Do you find her beautiful? |
01:06:31 |
She is beautiful, isn't she? And desirable. |
01:06:34 |
Maybe you think it's improper for an |
01:06:41 |
I've played a little game with myself. |
01:06:44 |
I pretended that she would have |
01:06:47 |
even if I'd been unable to give her wealth. |
01:06:50 |
I've enjoyed pretending that. |
01:06:52 |
It's given me great happiness. |
01:06:58 |
But now I'm losing her. I don't know why. |
01:07:02 |
I don't understand what's happened. |
01:07:06 |
Ironic that it should be |
01:07:08 |
Because of that, a man has died. |
01:07:11 |
A paltry, foppish man of no consequence, |
01:07:16 |
Nevertheless, he's dead |
01:07:21 |
I don't know why. But it must stop. |
01:07:25 |
It must stop, Mr. Marlowe! It must stop! |
01:07:34 |
What do you want me to do about it? |
01:07:36 |
You must go no further. |
01:07:39 |
I'll pay you well. |
01:07:43 |
Now this is beginning to make sense |
01:07:46 |
I get dragged in, get money shoved at me. |
01:07:50 |
Everybody pushes me in, |
01:07:53 |
Nobody wants me to do anything. |
01:07:58 |
Okay. Put a check in the mail. |
01:08:01 |
I cost a lot not to do anything. |
01:08:08 |
I'll be right back, Father. |
01:08:19 |
- Have you got a key to the beach house? |
01:08:23 |
I bowed out. I stopped. He thinks it's over. |
01:08:27 |
These things don't work like that. |
01:08:31 |
Do the police stop? |
01:08:35 |
- What do you mean, "Does Helen stop?" |
01:08:38 |
If I always knew what I meant, |
01:08:40 |
But I know this. A cancer doesn't |
01:08:44 |
You're vicious. You take some |
01:08:49 |
in seeing people torn apart! |
01:08:51 |
They're headed for it, anyway. |
01:08:54 |
What you're hanging on to will smack you. |
01:08:57 |
If I fold now, it smacks you later. |
01:09:00 |
But cleaner. |
01:09:03 |
I don't know, I'd stick anyway. |
01:09:08 |
I don't want my kids to think |
01:09:13 |
I could bust in, |
01:09:18 |
You drive. |
01:09:44 |
- Is that you? |
01:09:47 |
That nice, expensive smell. |
01:09:52 |
Quite a lad. |
01:10:22 |
- Someone's been here. |
01:10:26 |
That's the first thing Randall does |
01:10:29 |
Mess up his house. |
01:10:36 |
Here. |
01:10:43 |
- Does that prove something? |
01:10:46 |
Might have found my name |
01:10:48 |
That's what he said he did. |
01:10:50 |
Or maybe somebody phoned him |
01:10:52 |
But you didn't have anything to do |
01:10:56 |
- Or did you? |
01:11:00 |
There are a lot of things I don't know. |
01:11:03 |
- The only man who can tell me is dead. |
01:11:07 |
Yeah. All I can do is keep guessing. |
01:11:10 |
Let's get out of here |
01:11:13 |
All I can do about you is guess. |
01:11:15 |
You've only told me you went to the |
01:11:20 |
I could guess |
01:11:23 |
But when you found me out there |
01:11:26 |
- Please, let's go. I'm awfully tired. |
01:11:32 |
You know, that's a cute nose, |
01:11:34 |
It isn't really crooked. It has a bump |
01:11:38 |
Right there. |
01:11:39 |
I was playing shortstop |
01:11:48 |
I'm a pretty good guesser. |
01:11:51 |
Your father really loves Helen. |
01:11:54 |
Marriott did hurt him. |
01:11:56 |
When I appeared, you were afraid |
01:11:59 |
so you tried to buy me off. |
01:12:01 |
That didn't work, |
01:12:05 |
A real tough guesser might say |
01:12:09 |
you decided to be nice to me. |
01:12:12 |
I don't always guess right. |
01:12:19 |
- I think I am wrong. |
01:12:21 |
All men: Old men, young men... |
01:12:24 |
beautiful young men who use rose water... |
01:12:27 |
and almost-heels |
01:12:33 |
I'm sorry, darling. I couldn't help laughing. |
01:12:36 |
You should know by now |
01:12:39 |
They soften you up, throw you off guard, |
01:12:43 |
That was a dirty trick. But maybe |
01:12:48 |
It's not that she doesn't like you. |
01:12:51 |
That was only the first half of the speech. |
01:12:55 |
I hate their women, too, |
01:12:59 |
Beautiful, expensive babes |
01:13:03 |
All bubble bath and dewy morning |
01:13:07 |
and inside, blue-steel cold! |
01:13:11 |
Cold like that, only not that clean. |
01:13:15 |
Your slip shows, dear. |
01:13:23 |
Father's worried. |
01:13:29 |
- How long have you been here? |
01:13:31 |
Smart. The cops won't be back. |
01:13:35 |
You're good at throwing lambs |
01:13:37 |
Or did you just happen to leave |
01:13:40 |
Look, I'd like to get a few things straight. |
01:13:45 |
You were going to help me, so you |
01:13:48 |
and tell Amthor pick me up |
01:13:51 |
- I'm sorry. I thought you had it. |
01:13:55 |
Please don't blame me. |
01:13:59 |
- Was it bad? |
01:14:03 |
How long have you really known Amthor? |
01:14:06 |
- I don't lie very well, do I? |
01:14:10 |
It's a long story and not very pretty. |
01:14:13 |
I got lots of time, and I'm not squeamish. |
01:14:25 |
Amthor is blackmailing me. |
01:14:30 |
I more or less figured that. |
01:14:33 |
My husband is 65. He's in love with me. |
01:14:37 |
I'm fond of him. I'm grateful. |
01:14:43 |
I've gone out with other men. |
01:14:48 |
- I find men very attractive. |
01:14:54 |
When I first knew Marriott, I didn't realize |
01:14:58 |
And it took me a while |
01:15:02 |
- because he did me a lot of good. |
01:15:05 |
He treated my centers of speech. |
01:15:10 |
- I have a psychological impediment. |
01:15:14 |
You talk as good as I do now. |
01:15:16 |
His system is partly mumbo-jumbo |
01:15:20 |
He flatters you. He gets into your past. |
01:15:24 |
You talk and talk and... |
01:15:28 |
That's the awful way he works: |
01:15:33 |
Finally, he asked for the jade. |
01:15:36 |
I agreed. I had no choice. |
01:15:39 |
He threatened to go to my husband. |
01:15:42 |
Sounds like quite a past. |
01:15:45 |
A younger man |
01:15:48 |
or get drunk or divorce me... |
01:15:51 |
but he's not young. |
01:15:53 |
I think it would kill him. |
01:16:00 |
I couldn't risk it, so I agreed. |
01:16:02 |
Before I could turn the jade |
01:16:05 |
The man who took it made it clear... |
01:16:07 |
that if I called the police, |
01:16:12 |
That makes it an outfit |
01:16:15 |
or an outfit tipped off |
01:16:18 |
Somebody who knew what he knew. |
01:16:21 |
- Could've been Marriott. |
01:16:23 |
If he had thought Amthor suspected him, |
01:16:28 |
- Could be. |
01:16:30 |
I'm sure Amthor decided |
01:16:32 |
He may even have counted on you |
01:16:36 |
It's rough, but I'll buy it up to there. |
01:16:38 |
He'd hand your past to your husband |
01:16:42 |
You decided to play ball, but the jade |
01:16:46 |
Amthor caught on and killed him. |
01:16:50 |
I want you to help me kill Amthor. |
01:16:57 |
It's the only way I'll ever have peace. |
01:17:00 |
Once these things get started, |
01:17:02 |
He'll never be satisfied |
01:17:05 |
Why me? Because I'm handy |
01:17:08 |
Or just because I wear pants? |
01:17:10 |
Don't say that. Please, I need you so. |
01:17:14 |
I'm lost. |
01:17:16 |
I haven't been good, nor halfway good. |
01:17:19 |
I haven't even been very smart, |
01:17:23 |
and peace. |
01:17:27 |
I need you. |
01:17:33 |
All right. Got anything worked out? |
01:17:36 |
But I can't find him. |
01:17:38 |
That's probably my fault. |
01:17:41 |
I tossed them Sonderborg. |
01:17:44 |
Even if we find him, we've got to be good |
01:17:47 |
He works at this stuff. |
01:17:49 |
Make it simple. |
01:17:50 |
Tell him you're ready to sell, |
01:17:53 |
Have I? |
01:17:54 |
He won't expect you to have it on you. |
01:17:56 |
He'll need time to get the money. |
01:18:00 |
- For instance? |
01:18:01 |
- What if he sends a stooge? |
01:18:05 |
Okay, he comes. Then what? |
01:18:07 |
That's my part. |
01:18:09 |
- All right. I'll dig him up. |
01:18:12 |
I'd better get a little work done |
01:18:16 |
You're wonderful. |
01:18:18 |
How would you like |
01:18:22 |
Wouldn't bother me. Got any ideas? |
01:18:26 |
When will you be back? |
01:18:27 |
He's slippery. It may not be easy. |
01:18:30 |
I better not come out till tomorrow night. |
01:18:54 |
I went in the way I knew about. |
01:18:56 |
It was simpler... |
01:18:58 |
and I had a psychological trick |
01:19:02 |
I thought it would give him a bang. |
01:19:05 |
I thought it would kill him. |
01:19:46 |
He wasn't hurt much. |
01:19:49 |
the way a pretty girl |
01:19:52 |
Only, for this job, |
01:19:55 |
with a big pair of hands. |
01:20:36 |
I got to find her now. I got to go away. |
01:20:39 |
Sounds like a good idea. |
01:20:41 |
You might get unpopular |
01:20:46 |
I know you didn't mean to kill him. |
01:20:49 |
You don't know your own strength. |
01:20:53 |
- You find her? |
01:20:58 |
That's your girl, isn't it? |
01:21:00 |
That's Velma. It says, |
01:21:04 |
I don't like nobody to kid with me. |
01:21:05 |
Nobody's kidding with you. |
01:21:08 |
I thought it was a phony. |
01:21:11 |
That was meant to nip up anybody |
01:21:14 |
She wasn't like that. |
01:21:17 |
Cute. |
01:21:18 |
Okay, she was as cute as a cap pistol. |
01:21:22 |
Do you want to see her |
01:21:25 |
You mean you find her now? |
01:21:27 |
Yeah, I find her. Just now. |
01:21:29 |
- She's okay? |
01:21:32 |
- She's doing all right? |
01:21:35 |
Did you tip the johns off on her? |
01:21:37 |
I wouldn't want Velma to serve no stretch. |
01:21:41 |
What stretch? |
01:21:44 |
You tipped the johns off. They got her. |
01:21:46 |
Listen to me, and stop dancing with me. |
01:21:48 |
The johns haven't got her. |
01:21:52 |
She wants to talk to you. |
01:21:54 |
Of course, things have changed a little |
01:21:57 |
- Okay. |
01:22:02 |
I'd like to pay you some more |
01:22:08 |
Skip it. |
01:22:09 |
Here. Grab yourself a hamburger |
01:22:12 |
See you here tomorrow |
01:22:29 |
- You got that? |
01:22:31 |
- What do you do? |
01:22:34 |
When do you come up? |
01:22:37 |
You open the window. |
01:22:38 |
I open the curtains. You'll see the light. |
01:22:41 |
I've got to get set, so don't jump the gun. |
01:22:44 |
I'll leave the door open. |
01:22:48 |
That was like lighting a stick of dynamite |
01:22:52 |
But I had to know one more thing. |
01:22:54 |
I had to know how the jade figured. |
01:23:30 |
You're trembling. |
01:23:31 |
I was afraid something had happened. |
01:23:34 |
Did you find Amthor? |
01:23:36 |
He's gone undercover. |
01:23:38 |
Let's get set. What's the program? |
01:23:41 |
Pull the curtains and turn on the lights. |
01:24:10 |
You told Amthor |
01:24:18 |
Don't you like it? |
01:24:21 |
I don't know. |
01:24:23 |
I've never seen a necklace |
01:24:28 |
Where'd you get it? |
01:24:29 |
Lower left-hand drawer |
01:24:31 |
It was never stolen? |
01:24:34 |
There wasn't any holdup? |
01:24:36 |
You faked the whole thing. |
01:24:38 |
I wasn't going to let him get it. |
01:24:42 |
I'm not going to let him get it now. |
01:24:45 |
We'll just let him look at it. |
01:24:47 |
Last time, he tossed his gun at me. |
01:24:50 |
He'll never get that far. |
01:24:52 |
Let's not talk about it now. |
01:24:54 |
It's really quite simple. |
01:24:58 |
You're much too nice |
01:25:03 |
You told Marriott |
01:25:06 |
It had to look real. They had to believe |
01:25:10 |
I had to pretend to buy it back. |
01:25:12 |
- Marriott fell for that? |
01:25:18 |
I didn't really like him. |
01:25:21 |
He wasn't any good. |
01:25:23 |
But remembering |
01:25:26 |
You still think Amthor killed him? |
01:25:28 |
Who else? |
01:25:31 |
You. |
01:25:33 |
No. |
01:25:36 |
No, you can't mean that. |
01:25:44 |
Why? |
01:25:45 |
I think the picture was a little different. |
01:25:47 |
Marriott was scared because he'd agreed |
01:25:52 |
the one Mrs. Florian phoned him about. |
01:25:54 |
He had to help you to protect his interest. |
01:25:57 |
You knew that. |
01:25:58 |
You belonged to him, and to Amthor... |
01:26:00 |
and to Mrs. Florian, in her modest way. |
01:26:04 |
They didn't want me cutting in, either. |
01:26:06 |
You wouldn't be worth blackmailing |
01:26:10 |
He might even have hurt you. |
01:26:12 |
And if Marriott hadn't been scared silly... |
01:26:15 |
he'd have realized you were pushing |
01:26:19 |
One of us would get out of the car. |
01:26:22 |
Either way, you had us separated. |
01:26:25 |
Then you'd tag us one at a time |
01:26:33 |
It might have worked, too, |
01:26:36 |
But my head's pretty hard, and killing |
01:26:40 |
Please don't! |
01:26:42 |
It's all true. |
01:26:44 |
Suddenly, I was trapped. |
01:26:47 |
- I didn't know what I was doing! |
01:26:51 |
- I almost ended up as dead as Marriott. |
01:26:54 |
I can't go back now. |
01:26:57 |
I'm so close to peace, so close. |
01:27:00 |
Just Amthor. |
01:27:03 |
But I can't face it alone. |
01:27:05 |
Don't desert me now. |
01:27:07 |
Sorry. It won't work twice. |
01:27:13 |
It's a good technique, |
01:27:16 |
I don't count the first time, |
01:27:19 |
You were just learning. |
01:27:21 |
I don't know what you talked him into. |
01:27:23 |
Was it murder or something serious? |
01:27:27 |
You almost had me, sister, |
01:27:31 |
Sure, Amthor's blackmailing you, |
01:27:35 |
It wasn't just men. |
01:27:39 |
That was part of the setup: |
01:27:43 |
It was the clink coming up. |
01:27:45 |
It's no good understanding the clink. |
01:27:48 |
You still don't get silk sheets. |
01:27:50 |
Don't do that. |
01:27:53 |
I've kept forgetting to tell you... |
01:27:56 |
that you shouldn't kiss a girl |
01:27:59 |
It leaves a bruise. |
01:28:02 |
I'll try to remember that. |
01:28:03 |
I could like you. |
01:28:06 |
I could like you a lot. |
01:28:08 |
It's too bad it has to be like this. |
01:28:14 |
Don't move. |
01:28:17 |
Come in. |
01:28:24 |
Your sense of timing, dear, |
01:28:27 |
I'm to blame. I insisted on coming. |
01:28:31 |
Why didn't you tell me |
01:28:35 |
I wanted to spare you. |
01:28:36 |
I might have been able |
01:28:40 |
Now, of course, it's too late. |
01:28:43 |
Mr. Amthor's coming. |
01:28:46 |
I think, perhaps, you'd better do it quickly. |
01:28:54 |
Get his gun. |
01:28:58 |
This'll be the first time I've killed anyone |
01:29:03 |
What's your first name? |
01:29:05 |
Philip, for short. |
01:29:08 |
Philip Marlowe. A name for a duke. |
01:29:12 |
And you're just a nice mug. |
01:29:14 |
I've got a name for a duchess: |
01:29:19 |
Just a couple of mugs. |
01:29:22 |
We could have got along. |
01:29:24 |
What's stopping us now? |
01:29:28 |
He broke Amthor's neck |
01:29:36 |
Then that leaves only you. |
01:29:37 |
I don't want to do anything |
01:29:40 |
You know too much. |
01:29:42 |
It's gone too far... |
01:29:45 |
and I'm so tired. |
01:30:09 |
Let's have the police. |
01:30:12 |
Don't you realize he saved your life? |
01:30:14 |
Why must he suffer for that? |
01:30:17 |
The cops like to solve murders |
01:30:19 |
She's dead. Isn't that enough? |
01:30:21 |
She was evil, all evil. |
01:30:23 |
What difference can it possibly make |
01:30:31 |
You don't call me. I hear it, so I come up. |
01:30:38 |
I'd like to talk to Velma now. |
01:30:41 |
It didn't work out |
01:30:45 |
You got a refund coming. |
01:30:59 |
She ain't hardly changed. |
01:31:02 |
Just like always... |
01:31:05 |
only more fancy. |
01:31:08 |
Cute as lace pants... always. |
01:31:13 |
I wasn't going to bother her none |
01:31:17 |
It was the only thing I could do. |
01:31:20 |
You must try and understand. |
01:31:23 |
I couldn't let her go. |
01:31:26 |
I loved her too much. |
01:31:28 |
You shouldn't have killed her. |
01:31:32 |
- You shouldn't have killed Velma. |
01:31:50 |
That old black pit opened up again, |
01:31:54 |
It was blacker than the others, and deeper. |
01:31:57 |
I didn't expect to hit bottom. |
01:32:00 |
I thought I was full of lead. |
01:32:04 |
That's all I know. |
01:32:06 |
On account of I don't see so well |
01:32:10 |
I heard the shots. I didn't fire them. |
01:32:15 |
It wasn't the kid, was it? It wasn't Ann? |
01:32:19 |
Randall! |
01:32:20 |
He'll be back in a minute. |
01:32:24 |
How soon do I get |
01:32:27 |
A couple months, if you live that long. |
01:32:39 |
- You mean I'm sprung? |
01:32:42 |
I'll have the statement |
01:32:44 |
Who backed me up? |
01:32:47 |
Who got shot? I heard three. |
01:32:49 |
- Malloy. |
01:32:51 |
Yeah. And Grayle. |
01:32:52 |
He didn't go down right away. |
01:32:55 |
Grayle got the third slug himself. |
01:32:58 |
The kid's okay, then. |
01:33:01 |
She thought it over |
01:33:04 |
I didn't say. |
01:33:06 |
She here now? |
01:33:09 |
No. Okay, Nulty. See that he gets home. |
01:33:13 |
You give going-away presents here? |
01:33:15 |
That's yours. |
01:33:18 |
She was going to, |
01:33:21 |
Anyway, I tried it on. |
01:33:24 |
What am I supposed to do with it? |
01:33:26 |
Give it to your girlfriend. |
01:33:29 |
Strangle yourself with it! I don't care. |
01:33:34 |
What do you know about that redhead, |
01:33:37 |
- How'd she take it about the old man? |
01:33:42 |
Cute figure, huh? |
01:33:45 |
- I didn't notice. |
01:33:51 |
- She had more than a figure, too. |
01:33:55 |
Not a beautiful face, but a good face. |
01:33:57 |
A face like a Sunday school picnic. |
01:33:59 |
- You know what kind of a face that is? |
01:34:04 |
It's too bad I had to push her around. |
01:34:07 |
I wonder how she figured me. |
01:34:10 |
Maybe she thought |
01:34:13 |
Probably thought there was more. |
01:34:16 |
I'd like to tell her. |
01:34:18 |
No, there wouldn't be |
01:34:21 |
I wouldn't know. Hey, cab. |
01:34:28 |
Watch your head. |
01:34:30 |
- 1800 South Kingsley. |
01:34:50 |
She made swell coffee, anyway. |
01:34:54 |
Nulty. |
01:34:56 |
I haven't kissed anybody in a long time. |
01:34:59 |
Would it be all right if I kissed you, Nulty? |
01:35:23 |
