00:00:30 Come on, Louis. Come on.
00:01:09 They should make heroin
00:01:11 Candy bars, maybe.
00:01:14 You're gonna have to hurry, Louis.
00:01:43 Be careful, Lisa.
00:01:46 You too, Louis.
00:01:59 Taxi!
00:02:01 Taxi!

00:03:00 ...flight 7 60 dC-9 jetliner service...
00:03:06 ...for New York's Kennedy
00:05:54 Hey, is this St. Luke's Place?
00:05:57 -You, number 98.
00:06:00 -Where's St. Luke's Place?
00:06:05 l asked you a question, kid.
00:06:09 -Yeah, this is it.
00:06:16 Big man on campus.
00:06:19 What did she say?
00:06:21 l told you, she just left a message.
00:06:23 -But she asked for me?
00:06:26 -Happy days are here again, huh?
00:06:50 -You sure this is right?
00:06:54 Don't make waves.
00:07:19 Lisa?
00:07:22 -Lisa?
00:07:24 She says she's not here.
00:09:08 -Lisa doesn't live here.
00:09:20 What's the matter?
00:09:22 Since when can Lisa type?
00:09:28 Since never. Come on.
00:09:31 You think the place is bugged?
00:09:56 -You want something?
00:10:03 And you too, Sgt. Carlino.
00:10:08 ln fact, l want both of you,
00:10:14 Sgt. Carlino, if you'd
00:10:17 Don't call me "sergeant."
00:10:19 Why? Are you a touchy man?
00:10:22 -Just don't call me "sergeant."
00:10:27 We'll have a little chat.
00:10:36 -We'll start with, who are you?
00:10:41 Scarsdale?
00:10:45 Well, now, may we have
00:10:48 We'll have explanations first.
00:10:51 Well, this goes back a little.
00:10:53 -So go back a little.
00:10:59 Once upon a time...
00:11:00 ...there was a fairy princess
00:11:04 And she had two very good friends,
00:11:10 Now, these three were fond of performing
00:11:14 Their most memorable performances
00:11:19 ...and detective breaking in upon
00:11:23 ...or vice versa.
00:11:24 They were adaptable.
00:11:32 The detective, it's worth mentioning, was
00:11:37 ...but then he had had the benefit
00:11:43 -Man, you're a charmer.
00:11:48 Things went trippingly
00:11:51 ...until one day, a certain stockbroker,
00:11:57 And then our poor heroes went to jail,
00:12:04 Lisa, well....
00:12:06 Well, she....
00:12:08 She escaped.
00:12:10 What's the point?
00:12:12 Lisa would like to do something
00:12:14 ...now that they're back
00:12:17 -What does she want?
00:12:19 ...for which she will pay handsomely.
00:12:23 Now may we have weapons on the table?
00:12:28 -l'm clean.
00:12:31 Lisa says you favor brass, sergeant.
00:12:38 l cannot negotiate in an atmosphere
00:12:52 Why, you?
00:13:13 -And, you, what's your favorite toy?
00:13:20 What does she do?
00:13:24 -May we have Geraldine on the table too?
00:13:28 -Why the hell not?
00:13:34 Now, Lisa will pay you $2000 each
00:13:38 lnterested?
00:13:44 What kind of work?
00:13:45 Finding Lisa's doll.
00:13:48 -Are you serious?
00:13:51 -What kind of doll?
00:13:57 What's in it?
00:14:04 -Do we hurt anybody?
00:14:07 -Do you care?
00:14:11 -What do you think?
00:14:15 Yeah, baby. Not like us, huh?
00:14:20 We want an advance.
00:14:23 250. Each.
00:14:25 Lisa and l thought more like 500 each.
00:14:29 Why so generous?
00:14:32 So you don't ask what's in the doll.
00:14:36 So now we know what's in the doll.
00:14:38 Well, win one, lose one.
00:14:42 lt's all straight.
00:14:45 What do we do?
00:14:47 What you always do, Mr. Talman,
00:14:54 -Go on.
00:14:58 She met him on the plane from Montreal.
00:15:01 Lisa's friendly.
00:15:02 Why?
00:15:04 Somebody waiting for her,
00:15:06 ...so Hendrix brought it home here.
00:15:09 Hendrix? Who's he?
00:15:11 He's...nobody.
00:15:14 Mr. Clean. A photographer.
00:15:19 Looks like he has a wife. Where's she?
00:15:23 Out.
00:15:25 She goes to school.
00:15:27 Come on. This is a hell of a place
00:15:30 Don't panic, sergeant.
00:15:33 -Why not?
00:15:37 By you?
00:15:39 Photographer Hendrix is in his studio
00:15:44 But a little while ago,
00:15:46 ...very efficient, very humble,
00:15:50 ...to say that she had been delayed.
00:15:52 -He's terrific.
00:15:56 ...but Mr. Hendrix couldn't find it.
00:15:59 He looked all over for it,
00:16:02 Doesn't that strike you odd?
00:16:05 lt strikes me odd too, Mr. Talman.
00:16:09 -Was he lying?
00:16:13 Now, look around.
00:16:16 We're coming back here tomorrow.
00:16:21 And the doll is here, you're sure?
00:16:25 Lisa and l checked earlier.
00:16:30 Did you look in here?
00:16:36 Well, anyway, we don't work safes.
00:16:39 l know, but you talk, and that's why
00:16:43 ...to talk your way into that big,
00:16:48 -There's a locked closet in the bedroom.
00:16:53 -How do you know?
00:16:55 -You got the key?
00:16:58 No, it isn't.
00:17:00 They must have taken it with them.
00:17:03 Lock the closet when they
00:17:08 They're strange people.
00:17:14 l think you just made a mistake.
00:17:19 l'd like the key.
00:17:22 Well, if you--
00:17:23 All right, fat man, over there.
00:17:55 lf you'd only said please.
00:18:13 And now l'd like the key.
00:18:17 Please?
00:19:16 Go look.
00:19:27 Well, she was trespassing, Mike...
00:19:30 ...poaching...
00:19:31 ...going into business for herself.
00:19:33 Bad news.
00:19:35 Things like that go on,
00:19:38 Anarchy.
00:19:39 No discipline, no sense of order.
00:19:46 Out!
00:19:52 -Haven't you forgotten something?
00:19:55 l mean fingerprints.
00:20:00 You just signed your names
00:20:10 Even if you could remember, it'd
00:20:14 lf not days.
00:20:17 As for me...
00:20:19 ...well, l've only touched one thing
00:20:25 And now it's clean...
00:20:29 ...like me. No police record,
00:20:34 Nothing, in fact.
00:20:36 l could let you go and what would happen?
00:20:39 But you? Bad news.
00:20:41 Don't forget this, sarge.
00:20:43 And the icebox, don't forget the icebox.
00:20:46 Carlino, knock it off!
00:20:50 We can prove where we were
00:20:53 Oh, and when did it happen?
00:20:56 -Just before you let me in?
00:21:00 So if you do exactly what l tell you...
00:21:03 ...there will be no police,
00:21:08 Go on.
00:21:10 First, get her out of here.
00:21:12 l got a van by the corner.
00:21:14 Why not the back, where
00:21:17 There's no back door.
00:21:18 We'll dump her where l found this.
00:21:22 -She'll be found.
00:21:24 All she's got on her is a hotel key.
00:21:27 ...they'll see she's Mrs. Harry Roat Jr.
00:21:30 -From Scarsdale.
00:21:34 This changes things a little, you know?
00:21:36 That's what l figured.
00:21:38 No, we'll talk about it now.
00:21:41 lt was 2000 each. Now it's 4.
00:21:55 Get behind the door, and, you, back there.
00:21:59 Stay dead still.
00:22:14 Sam?
00:22:18 Sam, are you here?
00:22:24 No, Susy, l'm not here.
00:23:06 Gloria?
00:23:35 -Hendrix here.
00:23:39 l called to tell you l was the best
00:23:42 -That's my girl.
00:23:45 And I believe you.
00:23:47 So can l tap my way over to your studio?
00:23:49 Not now.
00:23:51 Some female with the unlikely name
00:23:57 Well, l'll wait for you here, then.
00:23:59 Look, I'll tell you what. Since
00:24:03 ...I'll just stick around
00:24:05 So can l come over and wait for you
00:24:09 Sure.
00:24:11 Won't be hard to find me.
00:24:15 -Bye.
00:24:26 Damn it. You're supposed to be there.
00:25:21 Gloria, l know you're there.
00:25:46 Mr. Hendrix won't wait forever.
00:25:49 Two plus two, 4000.
00:25:52 Two plus two, Mr. Talman.
00:26:03 Highly recommended.
00:26:07 ...from Hammacher Schlemmer.
00:26:10 Spread out the rug.
00:26:19 Trouble.
00:26:23 Trouble.
00:26:33 -Hi, Susy. Hey.
00:26:35 Let me help you with that mess.
00:26:39 Oh, you're a lovely cavalier,
00:26:43 l'm supposed to be learning
00:26:46 Why don't you come down
00:26:49 l can't. l'm off to Vermont for
00:26:55 By the way, l haven't been able
00:27:00 And my skylight's still broken.
00:27:02 -lf you see him--
00:27:05 He's owed us a new refrigerator since we
00:27:11 Don't let it get you down.
00:27:14 On Monday, we'll form a tenants committee
00:27:17 Some committee. Me, you, Sam,
00:27:22 Oh, well.
00:27:23 -Ciao.
00:27:48 -Susy?
00:27:53 -Safe to open the door?
00:28:01 -You want to give me a hand, darling?
00:28:06 Who are you doing?
00:28:08 Gloria.
00:28:11 She's been after me for weeks
00:28:16 l promised l'd have these done.
00:28:19 -Asbury Park? l thought you--
00:28:22 That's all right. l was just
00:28:26 -Will it hold till tomorrow?
00:28:29 Someone called from the chemical company.
00:28:32 They want me to make their new factory
00:28:35 Another night shot.
00:28:38 They're paying handsomely.
00:28:40 -Can l go with you?
00:28:43 Be home much quicker if you don't.
00:28:46 You know there was a murder
00:28:49 They found the body this morning.
00:28:51 A lady from Scarsdale.
00:28:54 So?
00:28:55 What if l get chopped up in little pieces
00:28:58 Little tiny pieces that nobody
00:29:01 ...as having been a poor,
00:29:04 ...whose husband was off in Asbury Park.
00:29:06 -You're not listening, Sammy.
00:29:09 Why don't we have some light
00:29:11 They're always finding bodies in New York.
00:29:14 Not in the parking lot
00:29:18 -You're making it up, Susy.
00:29:22 l told you l heard it on the radio.
00:29:26 Come on, Susy.
00:29:32 The police don't have
00:29:37 Pretty spooky, don't you think, Sammy?
00:29:40 Tell you what l think.
00:29:41 l think it's a ploy to make me stay home.
00:29:45 Well, there was a murdered woman
00:29:48 ...and that's a true fact.
00:29:51 And you're afraid for your life,
00:29:54 No, but it was worth a try.
00:30:14 Fourteen.
00:30:18 -You sure he'll go?
00:30:21 -He'd better hurry or he'll miss the bus.
00:30:26 This is some day for a schlep
00:30:38 -When does your bus leave?
00:30:41 Time for another cup of coffee?
00:30:45 Maybe half a cup.
00:30:47 lf that doll woman calls,
00:30:51 Let Gloria look around for it while she's
00:30:54 l don't want Gloria today.
00:30:57 l don't need her.
00:30:59 -Yes, you do, for your shopping.
00:31:06 -Give me a hint?
00:31:09 lf you couldn't, l'd tell you.
00:31:11 -What have you got against Gloria?
00:31:14 The problem is, she's in love with you,
00:31:17 Susy, she's a kid.
00:31:22 l'd rather have a dog.
00:31:24 Dogs can't shop at the supermarket.
00:31:26 They can't rearrange the furniture either
00:31:29 That's her latest hobby.
00:31:32 She's been sneaking cigarettes too.
00:31:36 Susy, give her a chance.
00:31:38 Her father's run off again. Her mother's
00:31:43 Poor old Gloria gets slammed around
00:31:46 On top of that, she's wearing glasses.
00:31:48 Kids are giving her the treatment...
00:31:50 ...calling her the "monster from outer space."
00:31:53 lcebox needs defrosting, darling,
00:31:56 lt's more practical.
00:32:00 -What if l burn both my hands off your way?
00:32:02 The Unguentine's in the emergency drawer.
00:32:05 lf the weather's okay, try walking
00:32:07 No cheating.
00:32:09 Do l have to be the world's
00:32:12 Yes!
00:32:25 Then, l will be.
00:32:28 l'll be whatever
00:32:33 Tell me what you want,
00:32:35 -Susy--
00:32:38 l don't want you ever
00:32:41 ...because that's the way l love you.
00:32:43 Do you? Do you?
00:32:45 What do you think?
00:32:57 -Do you want me to stay home?
00:33:02 But you can go to work anyway.
00:33:05 l'll clean up here...
00:33:06 ...then when you get back,
00:33:10 You sure it's okay?
00:33:13 Then, l got to rush.
00:33:16 Where does the icebox plug in?
00:33:19 You'll find it.
00:33:22 Sam.
00:33:24 Are you looking at me?
00:33:29 -Bye, dope.
00:33:47 Thanks for everything.
00:34:05 Okay, Mr. Talman,
00:34:10 And remember, there's a nice, little, pink kid
00:34:15 And she wears glasses.
00:34:49 Sam.
00:34:50 Gloria!
00:34:52 Somebody!
00:35:01 Operator.
00:35:02 -Please....
00:35:04 There's something burning.
00:35:07 -lt's getting worse!
00:35:09 27B--
00:35:11 Wait, l think somebody's here.
00:35:14 The door's open.
00:35:17 -You all right?
00:35:20 -l'm blind, and l don't know where it is.
00:35:23 -Careful.
00:35:26 lt's in the ashtray.
00:35:30 lt's only a cigarette butt.
00:35:33 A filter and a bit of paper
00:35:37 Where was it?
00:35:39 lt was on the--
00:35:42 What is this, a safe?
00:35:46 Against the wall? Yes.
00:35:49 l couldn't tell where it was coming from.
00:35:51 Smoke--
00:35:53 Smoke isn't my favorite thing.
00:35:57 -l don't know you, do l?
00:36:00 My name's Mike Talman.
00:36:05 l can't thank you enough
00:36:10 And l'm sorry that Sam isn't here.
00:36:13 He won't be back until later tonight.
00:36:15 That was stupid of me.
00:36:17 ...but l thought l'd take a chance
00:36:21 Wait. Let me give you a hand with that.
00:36:24 -You got it.
00:36:29 l haven't seen Sam for years,
00:36:33 Oh, Sam you don't forget.
00:36:35 l don't anyway.
00:36:37 He saved my life.
00:36:39 How do you mean that?
00:36:41 -l mean, he saved my life.
00:36:45 That makes two of us, Mrs. Hendrix.
00:36:47 Susy.
00:36:49 Susy.
00:36:50 Thank you.
00:36:52 You mean in the Army or something?
00:36:55 ln the Marines, yes.
00:36:59 -Charlie Company.
00:37:01 -Has he ever told you about that?
00:37:04 No, you ask Sam.
00:37:06 Oh, please. He won't tell me.
00:37:08 You'd better ask Sam.
00:37:11 -You're just as mean as he is.
00:37:14 -Mean Mike and Mean Sam.
00:37:17 Would you like a drink, Mike Talman?
00:37:19 No. No, thank you.
00:37:23 Are these Sam's, these pictures?
00:37:25 -Yes.
00:37:29 Hey, here's one of me.
00:37:34 l sure have put on a few pounds
00:37:38 Tell me something,
00:37:41 No, we only met a year ago,
00:37:46 You--?
00:37:47 You lost your sight in an accident?
00:37:50 Yes, in a car crash
00:37:54 One day, l was practicing
00:37:57 ...and the cars were piling up
00:38:01 ...suddenly, a man named Sam
00:38:04 And that was that.
00:38:08 Gloria?
00:38:10 -Who's that?
00:38:13 Come in, Gloria.
00:38:22 She went out.
00:38:26 Well, l'm sorry to have missed Sam,
00:38:30 You're very lovely.
00:38:34 So's Susy.
00:38:36 Goodbye.
00:38:38 Please tell Sam that l stopped by.
00:38:42 Next time l come in from Phoenix,
00:38:45 Thank you forever and ever for--
00:38:48 Oh, Lord! Hello? Are you still there?
00:38:50 I have to have your address.
00:38:52 Listen, l can't tell you how sorry l am
00:38:55 You're wonderfully good
00:38:58 -did you find the fire?
00:39:01 -lt was just a cigarette.
00:39:03 Yes, thank you.
00:39:06 Goodbye.
00:39:08 How awful.
00:39:12 Mike?
00:39:14 Who's Mike?
00:39:15 Hello, Gloria.
00:39:17 -Who was that man?
00:39:22 You wouldn't know him, dear.
00:39:25 Oh, l see.

00:39:30 lt's on the typewriter with the $5.
00:39:36 Oh, and, Gloria?
00:39:38 When you come back,
00:39:41 l've got to defrost it while Sam's away.
00:39:51 -What did you do then?
00:39:55 -That's not how it's done.
00:39:57 l've done it for Mother
00:39:59 Your mother's refrigerator is modern.
00:40:02 We've got to do it Sam's way. We--
00:40:04 Okay, do it Sam's way, then.
00:40:08 Did you close the door?
00:40:12 Yes.
00:40:13 -l didn't hear it shut.
00:40:18 -Please shut the door.
00:40:23 Gloria, close the door.
00:40:29 -No!
00:40:31 No, l won't!
00:40:32 Listen, little monster,
00:40:38 What's that?
00:40:41 What are you doing?
00:40:43 Stop it! Gloria, do you hear me?
00:40:47 Stop it!
00:41:34 You shouldn't have called me names.
00:41:38 l don't call you names.
00:41:42 l shouldn't say things like that.
00:41:46 -lt's okay.
00:41:49 People shouldn't say that
00:41:51 They're mean things,
00:41:55 Guess l get terribly frightened sometimes.
00:41:58 l'm not a very good blind lady, Gloria,
00:42:02 ...dark brown.
00:42:04 l get cranky and impatient and....
00:42:08 -l know l look dreadful half the time.
00:42:16 What a lovely thing to say.
00:42:19 Thank you, Gloria.
00:42:23 But l do wish l could do things.
00:42:28 ...cook a soufflé or pick a necktie...
00:42:31 ...or choose the wallpaper for the bedroom,
00:42:35 Sure. l know.
00:42:37 l want to be gorgeous.
00:42:42 l guess not.
00:42:48 l'm sorry, Susy, for being horrid.
00:42:52 And me for being an old crank.
00:42:56 -We break anything?
00:43:01 -That was crafty of you.
00:43:04 Okay, pumpkin, let's clean all this up,
00:43:12 Look out!
00:43:18 Thanks.
00:43:21 Run along. l'll put this away
00:43:23 -Right. See you later.
00:43:30 Bye.
00:43:35 l should very much like to speak
00:43:38 Who's he?
00:43:41 -Leave, little girl.
00:43:44 -Susy!
00:43:50 -Gloria, what is it?
00:43:54 ...and tell Mrs. Roat that l should
00:43:58 -Who are you?
00:44:01 -Well, tell me what you--
00:44:03 What is it you want?
00:44:07 You can't go in there.
00:44:11 Tell me who you are.
00:44:15 Here! l was right, you silly thing,
00:44:20 You tell Sam Hunt to leave her alone
00:44:24 -Please--
00:44:33 Oh, yes, yes.
00:44:35 Don't touch me.
00:44:47 Susy, it's Mike Talman again.
00:44:51 Mike!
00:44:52 -Susy, what's wrong?
00:44:54 There was a man here.
00:44:56 He's gone now. lt's all right.
00:44:58 -l'm scared.
00:45:01 You must be so bored with me.
00:45:02 Every time you come,
00:45:05 No, no, no.
00:45:07 Bedroom's a mess.
00:45:11 l better call the police.
00:45:16 Do you know the number?
00:45:18 279...
00:45:21 ...0099.
00:45:23 That's the emergency number anyway.
00:45:26 That's good enough.
00:45:30 279...
00:45:35 ...0...
00:45:36 -0.
00:45:39 ...9...
00:45:42 ...9.

00:45:50 -...and stay as long as you need me.
00:45:53 Of course.
00:45:56 Hello?
00:45:58 Police?
00:46:00 And the guy just busted in?
00:46:03 Yes, he was at the door
00:46:05 Gloria from upstairs.
00:46:07 Yeah, l got that down.
00:46:09 -Then he pulled out the drawers.
00:46:13 Why don't you send a report
00:46:16 Just tell me the facts.
00:46:19 Well, l do mind.
00:46:21 -You act as if nothing happened.
00:46:25 Thank you, lady.
00:46:42 The important thing is, this guy
00:46:46 No.
00:46:48 No, not as far as we know.
00:46:51 l think l'll help myself
00:46:54 Sure.
00:46:56 Well, l won't bother you anymore.
00:46:59 lf there's anything missing,
00:47:03 -Thank you, sergeant.
00:47:06 Bye.
00:47:09 -Can l fix you something?
00:47:16 Hello.
00:47:18 Oh, just a minute.
00:47:21 l'll get him.
00:47:23 Sergeant!
00:47:25 Sergeant!
00:47:28 -What is it?
00:47:32 Sorry to trouble you, Mrs. Hendrix.
00:47:35 Afraid this is going
00:47:38 Thank you.
00:47:40 Carlino here.
00:47:42 Yes, lieutenant, go ahead.
00:47:45 He just walked in?
00:47:48 Well, what's a doll got to do with it?
00:47:51 Sure.
00:47:53 Sure, l understand.
00:47:55 Right.
00:47:59 Mrs. Hendrix, l might as well
00:48:02 l don't want to alarm you...
00:48:04 ...but there was a woman found
00:48:06 -l know.
00:48:08 That's not what l said.
00:48:10 l know what happened.
00:48:12 Oh, l see.
00:48:15 Did your husband happen
00:48:18 -My husband?
00:48:20 l'm sorry, Mr. Talman,
00:48:25 Did you hear anything peculiar yesterday
00:48:29 No, l didn't.
00:48:32 l go to blind school,
00:48:35 Was there anybody with him
00:48:37 -No.
00:48:39 He was supposed to photograph a girl,
00:48:43 Nobody can verify he was there
00:48:46 Are you questioning her
00:48:48 -l'm not questioning her.
00:48:51 l'm allowed to talk, you know.
00:48:52 Sure, but she's allowed not to.
00:48:55 Don't they study the Constitution
00:48:58 -You some lawyer?
00:49:00 l didn't think you were.
00:49:02 Well....
00:49:04 Goodbye, Mrs. Hendrix.
00:49:08 l'll probably be back.
00:49:16 -Mike?
00:49:20 ls--? ls this room dirty?
00:49:22 No. Why?
00:49:24 The sergeant kept dusting things.
00:49:29 -Did he?
00:49:32 Over by the refrigerator and...
00:49:35 ...the banisters.
00:49:39 Here.
00:49:40 l'll get it.
00:49:42 Sergeant probably forgot his badge.
00:49:51 Forgive me for bursting in on you
00:49:56 No. Mr. and Mrs. Hendrix live here.
00:49:59 Hendrix. Oh, l'm terribly sorry...
00:50:02 ...but is this 27B Saint Luke's Place?
00:50:05 l'm Mrs. Hendrix. Can l help you?
00:50:07 My name is Roat. Harry Roat Jr.
00:50:17 What is it, Susy?
00:50:23 -Mr. Roat, Mrs. Hendrix is blind.
00:50:26 l'm sorry for intruding upon you
00:50:29 -No, my name's Talman.
00:50:33 Mrs. Hendrix, has my father been here?
00:50:35 -The old man?
00:50:38 l'm so embarrassed.
00:50:43 He made a mess of Mrs. Hendrix's things.
00:50:46 Well, he's not crazy, l assure you.
00:50:49 He's just very old, and he thinks
00:50:54 He's very old, my father,
00:50:59 He thinks that my wife has been...
00:51:04 ...seeing this Mr. Hunt.
00:51:06 And that's why l've troubled you with my--
00:51:09 Hi, Susy, l've got the groceries.
00:51:12 Thanks, Gloria.
00:51:15 l'll put them away.
00:51:16 Okay.
00:51:19 -See you.
00:51:22 You know, you really do have
00:51:25 -Here.
00:51:28 l don't know this man Hunt either,
00:51:31 Three years ago...
00:51:32 ...my wife was on vacation in Montreal
00:51:36 And while she was there,
00:51:40 ...my father says, with this photographer
00:51:44 Now, my father says
00:51:47 ...from time to time ever since.
00:51:49 My wife is...
00:51:51 ...very beautiful.
00:51:53 -What is all this about, Mr. Roat?
00:51:55 ...l believe my father followed my wife
00:51:59 You're wrong.
00:52:02 You see, the other afternoon,
00:52:05 There were testy words
00:52:08 ...and my wife stormed out of the apartment
00:52:10 Her doll?
00:52:12 Yes, the doll was what started
00:52:15 lt was especially made for my wife
00:52:28 The point is that when my wife left
00:52:32 "Sam Hunt gave her that doll.
00:52:35 And then he ran out
00:52:38 Later, my father called and said
00:52:42 ...in the basement apartment.
00:52:45 And then this morning, when l told Dad
00:52:52 Lejiana?
00:52:53 Yes. Lejiana, my wife.
00:52:55 When l told Dad that she hadn't
00:52:58 ...he got terribly excited
00:53:01 ...so l finally decided to come here
00:53:05 -Your wife didn't come home last night?
00:53:14 Want me to get it, Susy?
00:53:22 Hello.
00:53:24 Yeah. Hang on.
00:53:26 Susy, it's that Sgt. Carlino.
00:53:29 Why?
00:53:31 -May l take a message?
00:53:33 -No, l'll take it.
00:53:35 Well, his son's here now.
00:53:37 Don't go. He wants to talk to you.
00:53:39 -Who? Who does?
00:53:42 -Say l've gone.
00:53:48 Hello.
00:53:50 Speaking.
00:53:51 That's right. No, she didn't.
00:53:54 ln fact--
00:53:56 Was she hurt?
00:53:58 No, tell me now.
00:54:07 -Mr. Roat!
00:54:14 Oh, l'm frightened.
00:54:17 l'm very frightened.
00:54:19 Don't worry, Susy.
00:54:22 He's gone.
00:54:30 Mrs. Roat is dead.
00:54:31 She was murdered last night near here.
00:54:34 -What did you say?
00:54:37 -Sam?
00:54:41 The doll.
00:54:45 Sam brought a doll exactly like that
00:54:48 l was trying to help him unpack from the trip
00:54:53 The something played a little tune.
00:54:57 Mrs. Roat's special-made, handmade,
00:55:04 l thought it was a surprise
00:55:07 lt was for a little girl in the hospital.
00:55:09 A woman at the airport
00:55:12 ...so that her other girl, who was meeting
00:55:16 The woman called yesterday about getting
00:55:20 Sam never met the doll lady
00:55:25 Don't do this to yourself, Susy.
00:55:27 Then there was the woman
00:55:29 Sam said she didn't show up.
00:55:31 But he was away a long time
00:55:34 And her name was Lejiana,
00:55:38 Well, suppose he did know her.
00:55:41 Oh, but it is.
00:55:43 All right, then.
00:55:49 Let's try to figure this all out.
00:55:51 From the beginning.
00:55:54 First, the old man came in screaming
00:55:57 He went into your bedroom
00:55:59 He messed up your dresser.
00:56:03 He must have taken something, Susy.
00:56:07 Come here.
00:56:12 Now, look.
00:56:15 Check, feel around,
00:56:31 Our wedding picture's gone.
00:56:34 Do you see it anywhere?
00:56:36 No.
00:56:38 That's the meanest thing l ever heard of.
00:56:42 No!
00:56:43 No, Mike, we can't.
00:56:45 We mustn't say anything
00:56:47 They've got to forget all about us, Mike.
00:56:53 Please.
00:57:02 What is it?
00:57:13 -That's funny.
00:57:16 There's a police car pulling up outside.
00:57:21 They're just standing there.
00:57:35 Susy, l think they're watching this house.
00:57:44 Don't worry.
00:57:55 lt's no good, Mike.
00:57:57 What?
00:57:59 The doll. l can't find it.
00:58:02 Hold on. l just found another suitcase.
00:58:05 What?
00:58:07 l just found another suitcase.
00:58:21 Any luck?
00:58:23 Well, just some papers.
00:58:26 And some letters.
00:58:28 Well, if any of them are from Mrs. Roat,
00:58:33 Oh, they're from you, Susy.
00:58:35 You type very well.
00:58:37 l didn't know Sam was a hoarder.
00:58:45 Listen to me. We've got to face
00:58:49 We've got to find that doll.
00:58:52 lt's the one thing that proves
00:58:55 But it's not here.
00:58:58 Well, now, wait a minute.
00:59:01 You said that Sam brought a doll
00:59:04 You said it's the same doll
00:59:07 You went right down the line
00:59:10 ...that Sam and Mrs. Roat were connected.
00:59:12 And now Mrs. Roat's dead,
00:59:15 -Maybe l was wrong.
00:59:18 lf you thought that way,
00:59:21 Without the doll, it's a lot of ranting
00:59:25 ...but with it,
00:59:27 -Mike--
00:59:29 Mike, did you notice how l jumped
00:59:33 -Have you been listening to me?
00:59:37 He had on the exact same shoes
00:59:41 And one of them squeaked a little bit.
00:59:44 -You probably didn't notice.
00:59:47 And another thing, it's winter.
00:59:50 -lt's dark early now, isn't it?
00:59:53 Then why has everybody been
00:59:58 -What?
01:00:00 And Sgt. Carlino did it too.
01:00:03 Mike.
01:00:05 ls that police car still outside?
01:00:09 l'll check and see.
01:00:24 -Yes, and they're looking this way.
01:00:29 -Not very well. lt's pretty dark.
01:00:32 -Why?
01:00:36 -ls it?
01:00:39 No, it isn't.
01:00:40 There'd be a radio inside a police car,
01:00:43 Yeah, l suppose.
01:00:45 Sgt. Carlino fiddles with the blinds...
01:00:48 ...and immediately, the police phone
01:00:51 Then Mr. Roat Jr. fiddles with the blinds,
01:00:56 No, l don't think the police
01:01:00 Mr. Roat's story and Sam's
01:01:03 And l've been forgetting something
01:01:07 -What's that?
01:01:10 ...and l don't know Mr. Roat.
01:01:11 You've got to get this through your head.
01:01:15 lf we wanna help Sam,
01:01:18 -But it isn't here! lt isn't here!
01:01:22 -lt's got to be in this safe.
01:01:26 -And why not?
01:01:29 The woman who had this apartment
01:01:33 When we convinced her that we
01:01:35 ...she locked it and deliberately dropped
01:01:39 -Susy, you're making that up.
01:01:43 -Be careful.
01:01:46 On second thought, l don't suppose
01:01:50 Have l been treating you like a stranger?
01:01:55 lt is your problem, isn't it?
01:01:57 Yours and Sam's. You have to do
01:02:01 Where are you going?
01:02:03 To pick up my things at the apartment.
01:02:06 -You said you'd stay.
01:02:10 Will you give me a phone number?
01:02:14 What phone number?
01:02:16 Where you're going,
01:02:19 l'll phone when l get there.
01:02:20 Give me the name of your friend
01:02:23 Well, yeah, l may have it
01:02:28 -Here it is. Can you remember it?
01:02:34 -Cl2....
01:02:36 -4598.
01:02:42 Right.
01:02:43 Mike?
01:02:46 Thank you.
01:03:02 Five, nine.
01:03:14 -Where's Roat?
01:03:17 Out beating up old ladies.
01:03:23 She's something, man.
01:03:27 Yeah.
01:03:30 You're on next. Give her a minute,
01:03:33 Really push. Keep hinting at
01:03:36 lf it's in there and she can't open it,
01:03:40 What about Roat Jr. from Scarsdale?
01:03:44 Yeah. What about him?
01:04:25 Who's that?
01:04:28 lt's only me, Susy.
01:04:33 Thank goodness.
01:04:36 When l got upstairs, l found l'd left
01:04:40 Do you remember the man who was
01:04:46 -Which one?
01:04:49 -Sure.
01:04:51 Kind of dumb-looking, l guess.
01:04:53 -You'd recognize him, wouldn't you?
01:04:57 Come.
01:04:59 Get up on a chair
01:05:05 There's a police car out there. Can you
01:05:12 There's no police car.
01:05:15 -Are you sure?
01:05:21 There's no car out there.
01:05:23 Well, yes, there is, a kind of squatty
01:05:28 Phone booth?
01:05:31 Well, there's a man standing near it.
01:05:33 ls it the man who was here
01:05:37 l don't think so.
01:05:50 Watch out. He's looking
01:05:53 -Can he see you?
01:06:07 l think he's going. He's go--
01:06:16 You had it!
01:06:18 -l was only borrowing--
01:06:20 -Where is it? Give it to me.
01:06:24 l was only borrowing it.
01:06:27 Where are we going to put it? ln
01:06:55 -Gloria?
01:06:57 How would you like to do something
01:07:01 -l'd love it.
01:07:04 -From mother's bedroom, l think.
01:07:07 Go upstairs and watch that phone booth.
01:07:12 Now, if anyone from the truck
01:07:16 -...phone me as soon as they come out.
01:07:19 Just let the phone ring twice and
01:07:23 -l know. Like a signal.
01:07:27 Susy, if you need me for anything, just
01:07:46 -Who's that?
01:07:49 Quick, under the stairs.
01:07:52 l'll be right with you, sergeant.
01:08:01 Coming.
01:08:06 l'm sorry to keep you waiting.
01:08:10 l'm glad you dropped by, sergeant.
01:08:12 Some children were playing out back,
01:08:16 -Would you mind taking a look?
01:08:19 l think so.
01:08:46 There's nothing broken here.
01:08:48 Well, maybe in the bathroom.
01:09:07 There's nothing broken anywhere.
01:09:11 Look, Mrs. Hendrix, l understand
01:09:18 Yes, he was here for a moment.
01:09:22 You've been looking for something, l see.
01:09:26 l couldn't find the garbage bags.
01:09:58 No?
01:10:00 Do you know what l think?
01:10:04 lt's not that. l couldn't
01:10:07 No, the doll! The doll your husband
01:10:10 -The doll he gave Mrs. Roat.
01:10:14 l'm sorry, Mrs. Hendrix,
01:10:17 Mr. Roat recognizes your husband
01:10:20 And old man Roat remembers seeing
01:10:25 Now. Now, l wonder where
01:10:30 -ln that big, black safe maybe?
01:10:35 There is no doll, and my husband
01:10:38 He did, as a matter of fact, know her.
01:10:42 ...l'll get a search warrant and drill it.
01:10:45 lt'll take me less than 1 0 minutes
01:10:49 -Who are you phoning?
01:10:51 l want to speak to Mr. Roat.
01:10:52 -Operator?
01:10:54 Mrs. Hendrix, l'll get him.

01:11:28 lt's for you, Roat Jr.
01:11:43 -Hello? This is Harry Roat Jr.
01:11:48 My lawyer has advised me...
01:11:52 ...that if your father makes any more
01:11:55 ...he will have to take immediate action.
01:12:00 Yes. Yes. Right.
01:12:04 Thank you.
01:12:06 That lawyer friend of yours isn't
01:12:11 Be right back. With a search warrant.
01:12:28 Must be the wrong number.

01:12:42 ...don't leave this house.

01:28:25 He met her at the airport,
01:28:31 Did you kill her, Mike?
01:28:34 -No.
01:28:42 That isn't important.
01:28:45 lt hasn't got anything to do with you
01:28:52 lt was a whole separate thing
01:28:58 -You don't belong to any of it.
01:29:04 l think it's more than the doll with him.
01:29:08 He said he wants to do evil things.
01:29:12 You don't have to worry about Roat.
01:29:50 Roat's dead.
01:29:55 He didn't like us, you know. Any of us.
01:30:00 So we had to get rid of him.
01:30:08 Anyway, it doesn't matter.
01:30:16 What are you gonna do now, Mike?
01:30:20 Disappear. Like magic.
01:30:29 You're a good, strong lady...
01:30:33 -...Susy Hendrix.
01:30:37 Oh, yeah.
01:30:41 You're all of that.

01:34:06 They were awful amateurs, and that's
01:34:10 -l saw through you too.
01:34:14 Even now, not all the way.
01:34:16 The lovely thing was the way
01:34:19 All that silliness of meeting
01:34:23 They had comic-book minds, so we did
01:34:27 And then topsy-turvy.
01:34:33 -Where's Sam? Where did you send him?
01:34:38 -Where is he?
