00:03:00 take a big step up in the department,

00:03:21 You like to read about yourself
00:03:24 as the tough cop
00:03:27 Your job is to detect criminals,

00:03:41 Any more complaints against you
00:03:45 and you'll be back in uniform

00:09:03 There's a cut on his hand.
00:09:06 He hit somebody hard.
00:09:08 Tommy Scalise. He's in there.
00:09:11 So dream boy finally
00:09:13 I've been waiting quite a while.
00:09:21 You should've gone home to bed,
00:09:24 You'd be asleep now,
00:09:26 I live in this hotel.
00:09:31 How do you do, Mr Scalise?
00:09:35 Where did you hide the knife,
00:09:37 Go easy, Dixon.
00:09:40 - Talk.
00:09:42 You made a monkey of yourself before,
00:09:46 Who killed him,
00:09:48 You find a corpse
00:09:50 You've been a killer for a long time.
00:09:52 Have I? As I remember it,

00:10:00 Why do you always try to push me
00:10:02 I got as much right
00:10:04 Don't talk to me about rights.
00:10:07 You're a pretty smart rat, Scalise,
00:10:10 Why are you always jumpin' after me?
00:10:13 Four years jumpin' after me
00:10:16 That's right, getting you
00:10:19 I can't figure you out.

00:10:33 Congratulations on your promotion,
00:10:35 OK, OK. Let's have it.
00:10:38 Mr Morrison was brought here
00:10:43 sort of an acquaintance of mine.
00:10:45 There was a girl with him,
00:10:49 A Morgan something.
00:10:51 Mr Morrison wanted
00:10:54 - How much did he win?
00:10:57 - You're lying, Scalise.
00:11:01 He lost a grand or so,
00:11:04 He was makin' a play for this girl,
00:11:08 He hit the girl first, smacked her
00:11:13 Then Morrison tackled Paine.
00:11:15 Morrison pulled a gun, but Paine
00:11:19 and they wrestled into the bedroom.
00:11:22 Before I could call the cops,
00:11:24 He didn't say anything, just left.
00:11:26 Then Morrison came out
00:11:29 - He was dead when I got to him.
00:11:32 There wasn't any weapon.
00:11:34 - Paine must have taken it along.
00:11:37 - Let me handle him, Lieutenant.

00:19:05 - Pennsylvania Station, please.
00:19:26 Give me a ticket to Pittsburgh,
00:19:33 17 dollars and 8 cents.
00:20:37 Hello, Paul. I covered a few bars
00:20:40 I just got here. See this?
00:20:44 Slipped in and out after I was here.
00:20:47 Probably watching you.
00:20:49 Nice piece of luck for me.
00:20:51 You can't be everywhere.
00:20:53 He took all his stuff
00:20:57 Just his uniform and one shoe.
00:21:00 There's another closet.
00:21:07 - Nothing in there. It's empty.
00:21:10 There's an old lady
00:21:34 Police. We'd like to talk to you.
00:21:41 What do you want?
00:21:43 How long have you been sitting here?
00:21:45 Since after dinner.
00:21:48 - You know Kenneth Paine?
00:21:51 - Have you seen him tonight?
00:21:54 - When?
00:21:57 When you get old like me,
00:22:00 - Approximately how long ago?
00:22:04 The taxi man woke me up.
00:22:07 Everybody wakes me up tonight.
00:22:11 I always sleep here
00:22:15 It seems less lonely. Music helps me.
00:22:18 Thank you, madam. Come on, Paul.
00:22:20 That's all, thank you.

00:22:36 You cover the Yellow Cab stand,
00:22:40 - I'll cover the independent garages.
00:23:54 Hey! Open up! I know you're in there!
00:23:58 Open up, you dirty rat! Open...
00:26:06 - Where's the lieutenant?
00:26:15 Lieutenant, we got a break on this.
00:26:18 One of the porters saw Paine
00:26:20 Oh, good.
00:26:23 Here's the cab driver's statement.
00:26:28 "Picked up a fare at 58 Pike Street
00:26:31 That's right.
00:26:35 You recognise this bag?
00:26:37 Yeah, the guy was carryin' it
00:26:41 I noticed the name:
00:26:45 Yeah, Kenneth Paine.
00:26:48 He had a bandage under one eye.
00:26:50 Yeah, piece of tape.
00:26:52 - Which eye?
00:26:56 left eye, like this.
00:26:58 Under the left eye. Thanks,
00:27:05 Looks like we have a definite line
00:27:08 The ticket agent at Penn station
00:27:12 Evidently trying to throw us off.
00:27:15 - No line on the girl, Lieutenant.
00:27:19 Scalise thinks she was either
00:27:22 Call the agencies on both,
00:27:25 Call CB and have them teletype
00:27:29 Dixon, take yourself a rest. You too,
00:27:34 - Communication, please.
00:27:38 Knock off, Casey,
00:27:42 Good night, boys.
00:27:44 Teletype the following description
00:27:47 Give me Communications.
00:27:49 ...height, six feet one; weight,
00:27:55 You look beat, Mark.
00:28:55 - Hey, Mark, you awake?
00:28:58 We've got a line on the girl.
00:29:07 Her name is Morgan Taylor, from
00:29:10 - What is it?
00:29:14 Wentworth 35098.
00:29:36 All right, all right.
00:29:42 Hello.
00:29:43 Does Morgan Taylor live there?
00:29:47 Yeah, she lives here.
00:29:49 No, she ain't here now.
00:29:53 Never mind, I'll call her later.
00:29:56 She's gone to work.
00:29:58 Here it is.
00:30:02 Friedman and Lyon, 525 Eighth Avenue.
00:30:06 Very nice. But too high-style
00:30:10 - Maybe we could make a bolero, Oleg.
00:30:14 Mmm, I'm not sure. I'll let you know
00:30:19 Thank you, Morgan.
00:30:20 It's OK with me. We have more orders
00:30:25 - Did they notice it?
00:30:28 Come here,
00:30:31 Still shows a little.
00:30:33 I'll put some more pancake on it.
00:30:35 You know, Morgan,
00:30:38 You keep thinking of him
00:30:41 You won't see him for what he is,
00:30:45 So he won the war
00:30:48 Does that entitle him to spend
00:30:52 and punching girls on the nose?
00:30:55 Don't worry.
00:30:59 You said that before.
00:31:02 and you set yourself up
00:31:05 You can't help him, Morgan.
00:31:07 - I guess you're right.
00:31:10 - Who?
00:31:13 It's important, Mr Friedman said
00:31:26 Miss Taylor,
00:31:28 They are police detectives.
00:31:31 - How do you do?
00:31:33 Sit down, please, Miss Taylor.
00:31:36 We'd like to ask you a few questions.
00:31:39 What would you like to know?
00:31:41 You were with Kenneth Paine
00:31:43 Yes.
00:31:44 You were at a so-called
00:31:47 in the apartment
00:31:50 at the 43rd Street Hotel. Correct?
00:31:52 Yes.
00:31:53 Have you been in touch
00:31:56 No.
00:31:57 Have you any idea where he might be?
00:31:59 No, I haven't.
00:32:01 From what we hear, you're
00:32:03 - Yes.
00:32:06 - I'm his wife.
00:32:09 But you're living with your father,
00:32:12 Ken and I separated three months ago.
00:32:14 What happened at Scalise's
00:32:20 May I know why you're asking me
00:32:22 We'd rather tell you afterward,
00:32:26 Well, Kenneth was drinking
00:32:29 we had a quarrel.
00:32:31 I understand he hit you.
00:32:35 Yes.
00:32:37 - Did you see him hit Morrison?
00:32:40 - Where'd you go?
00:32:43 Take a taxi?
00:32:45 No, I met my father at his stand
00:32:48 He's a taxi driver.
00:32:51 Did you hear from Paine
00:32:53 Yes, he telephoned.
00:32:54 - What'd he say?
00:32:57 - What time was that?
00:32:59 Did he call from his house?
00:33:02 - No.
00:33:04 Because my father went down
00:33:07 - What for?
00:33:11 We think so, Miss Taylor.
00:33:13 I didn't want to tell him anything,
00:33:15 but I was crying,
00:33:18 - What'd he say?
00:33:20 - He told me before that...
00:33:24 Well, that if Ken ever hit me again
00:33:27 Morrison was killed last night.
00:33:31 No!
00:33:32 At Scalise's place,
00:33:36 He was killed with a knife.
00:33:41 And you're looking for Ken
00:33:44 When did your husband start
00:33:47 Jealous? That's silly.
00:33:50 Mr Morrison was somebody
00:33:52 - But you went out with him.
00:33:55 You just said you were separated
00:33:57 Yes, but he kept insisting,
00:34:01 When I got to the restaurant,
00:34:03 Then after dinner
00:34:06 Then I realised
00:34:09 was to use me as a sort of decoy
00:34:15 I was sinking pretty low, I thought.
00:34:18 Poor Ken.
00:34:21 Why did Paine hit you?
00:34:23 Because I wanted to go home.
00:34:27 Because Morrison was winning.
00:34:29 - Yes.
00:34:31 A great deal.
00:34:35 Thank you for the information.
00:34:48 - Hi!
00:34:51 Hello, Jack.
00:34:52 - Hello, Morgan.
00:34:55 Night.
00:34:58 Oh, Miss Taylor.
00:35:00 - Hello.
00:35:02 - I'd like to talk to you.
00:35:05 No.
00:35:07 You think I know where he's hiding
00:35:09 Where are you going now?
00:35:11 - Home.
00:35:14 A nice way to put it when you're
00:35:17 This is no third degree,
00:35:20 Have you come to nab me
00:35:22 I'm not really. I've never been
00:35:26 Are you... are you having dinner
00:35:29 - You inviting me?
00:35:32 I take that subway, there. It'll
00:35:35 That's good enough.
00:35:38 - Hey, Dad, you home?
00:35:41 - There's company.
00:35:43 No.
00:35:47 This is my father. Mr Dixon.
00:35:51 - Mark Dixon!
00:35:54 You don't remember me.
00:35:57 I'm Jiggs Taylor.
00:35:59 - I'm sorry, I don't recall.
00:36:03 Well, sit down,
00:36:08 It's 2am.
00:36:13 There's a blizzard goin' on.
00:36:15 A detective jumps in my cab and says
00:36:18 "Follow that black sedan,
00:36:21 So I give her the gas.
00:36:24 Here, here's the diploma
00:36:29 "For aiding Detective Mark Dixon
00:36:32 Oh, yes. Six years ago.
00:36:35 Say, Dad, let's hear about
00:36:38 and riddled your cab with bullets.
00:36:40 Mark can tell you himself.
00:36:43 Yes, there were a few shots fired.
00:36:46 A few shots? Dad always said it was
00:36:49 That's the trouble with
00:36:53 How about a drink, Mark?
00:36:55 - No, thanks.
00:36:58 I suppose you're workin'
00:37:00 - That's right.
00:37:04 Thanks.
00:37:06 Any other suspects besides Ken?
00:37:10 That fella Scalise, huh?
00:37:14 The department thinks he's clean on
00:37:18 - He's on a gambling charge only.
00:37:22 He lied about Morrison being
00:37:26 Your daughter
00:37:29 It looks like a cinch he's the guy.
00:37:31 I wouldn't tell a lot of people
00:37:33 about going up to Paine's place
00:37:36 I don't care how many people hear it.
00:37:39 Oh, Dad, please! Mr Dixon isn't
00:37:43 I ask you, what would you do
00:37:47 You know, it is a lucky thing
00:37:51 I'd've...
00:37:52 I forgot to ask you, I've been
00:37:56 How about some chow?
00:37:59 - No, Dad, we're going out.
00:38:03 I'll be seeing you, Mr Taylor.
00:38:06 Well, least I'm glad
00:38:09 who ain't gonna land her
00:38:12 You're horrible, Dad!
00:38:15 - Good night.
00:38:24 Good evening, Mr Detective.
00:38:27 - Hello, Martha.
00:38:29 How do you do?
00:38:32 You know, I like places like this
00:38:34 that specialise in good food
00:38:38 It's the worst food in town.
00:38:40 But don't worry, they usually serve
00:38:43 Who invited you to come to
00:38:46 Martha's the head
00:38:49 My presence makes her nervous.
00:38:50 Last night we got a whole basketful
00:38:54 Bring us two of
00:38:56 D'you know how much I've been offered
00:38:59 - 10 dollars.
00:39:02 - Two dinners. You want wine?
00:39:05 Huh! Same old cheapskate!
00:39:07 She adores you, doesn't she?
00:39:09 - Ought to, I sent her husband up.
00:39:12 - Wife-beater.
00:39:15 She's under wraps on account of you.
00:39:19 Oh, I mean...
00:39:20 Dame's all right.
00:39:23 - There's no such animal.
00:39:26 Your dad is not a reliable source
00:39:29 You're quite right. I never knew
00:39:32 He does it for fun, though.
00:39:36 or movie stars, and overhearing
00:39:40 - Like your dad, huh?
00:39:42 I hope you come here often,
00:39:45 For years he sits in my restaurant
00:39:47 A detective in the window: You can
00:39:50 But now with a beautiful lady he
00:39:54 - Horrible.
00:39:56 Thanks. Eat all you want.
00:39:59 Have you been trying to get in touch
00:40:03 No. I don't quite know what to do.
00:40:07 - When were you married?
00:40:10 But we knew each other before that.
00:40:13 You said this morning
00:40:15 - Three months ago.
00:40:18 It's hard to say why you leave
00:40:22 I always blamed Ken,
00:40:25 not understanding what made him seem
00:40:29 I guess the chief thing
00:40:32 and lots of pride.
00:40:34 Too much pride.
00:40:36 A man can usually find work
00:40:40 You're worried about me feeling badly
00:40:42 because he's going to be arrested,
00:40:45 - Something like that.
00:40:51 He'll need me. I owe it to him.
00:40:55 You still love him, huh?
00:40:58 No. It isn't love any more.
00:41:01 Mr Detective! Telephone!
00:41:04 Excuse me. That must be my partner.
00:41:07 Probably wants to know
00:41:13 Dixon speaking.
00:41:15 Been trying to get you for an hour,
00:41:20 Where did you find him?
00:41:21 River watchman reported
00:41:24 that somebody slugged him last night.
00:41:28 'Sent two men over, but they couldn't
00:41:31 Nothing stolen, nothing missing.'
00:41:32 'Until the watchman remembered
00:41:35 They started draggin' the river
00:41:38 - Who's that?
00:41:41 Mark? Thomas. We found Paine
00:41:44 We'll meet you at his apartment
00:41:46 OK, Lieutenant.
00:41:52 - What's the matter? You look sick.
00:41:55 You got to leave the beautiful girl
00:41:58 That's what you get
00:42:01 No fun, always chasin'
00:42:09 - Has something happened?
00:42:13 Please, finish your dinner.
00:42:14 It's really the best
00:42:17 - I'm sorry you have to leave.
00:42:19 - So long.
00:42:21 Good night.
00:42:26 - You like him, huh?
00:42:30 I'm glad. You know what
00:42:35 He's got nobody. All he thinks of
00:42:39 He grabs himself a dizzy blonde
00:42:44 Fella like him oughta be married,
00:42:46 - have a home, kids, and...
00:42:50 - I'm married.
00:42:55 Wait till I see that dope again.
00:43:02 - You got it?
00:43:05 I'd say not more than 24 hours.
00:43:07 Get it to the lab right away.
00:43:09 That clinches it.
00:43:12 Somebody came in and slugged him.
00:43:16 He had a silver plate in his head
00:43:18 as a result of a shrapnel wound in
00:43:21 I buy that, Lieutenant.
00:43:23 The killer tried to get the body out,
00:43:27 probably Dixon when he came
00:43:31 He ducked behind
00:43:33 That's the reason
00:43:36 - If it is Paine's blood.
00:43:40 Now, we can establish
00:43:43 as between 12.30,
00:43:47 and, uh, 3am, when the killer
00:43:53 Hello, Dixon. You know Mr Gilroy
00:43:57 - Sure. How are you?
00:43:59 A lot of fancy footwork you did
00:44:02 It couldn't be helped, Lieutenant.
00:44:05 I can't understand
00:44:08 You came in here at 12.50,
00:44:11 That's right.
00:44:12 Paine came, packed and left at 1.10.
00:44:16 You must've practically
00:44:19 Well, he wasn't here,
00:44:21 I had a look in a couple of bars.
00:44:23 It's queer to figure a guy on the lam
00:44:27 - What time did Dixon come back?
00:44:29 - And you left right after that?
00:44:33 It's obvious. He lays a fake trail.
00:44:37 and then he decides to come back
00:44:40 He figures the police have been there
00:44:44 What time did Jiggs Taylor
00:44:46 - About 2.15.
00:44:50 Yeah, and he came down crazy angry,
00:44:52 - ready to knock Paine's block off.
00:44:56 How's that? It looks completely
00:44:59 - Scalise did it.
00:45:02 I'm telling you,
00:45:05 He was afraid Paine
00:45:08 so he sent someone to finish him off.
00:45:10 That doesn't stand up.
00:45:11 Whoever killed Paine killed him by
00:45:15 A Scalise hood would've taken
00:45:18 he'd've knifed or shot him.
00:45:21 We've got Jiggs Taylor
00:45:23 Bring them in, Harrington.
00:45:26 A mile a minute.
00:45:29 I think we can
00:45:31 Get statements from both of them.
00:45:37 - I'm Lieutenant Thomas.
00:45:39 How d'ya do, Lieutenant?
00:45:45 I was expectin' this.
00:45:48 the minute I heard Ken was murdered,
00:45:50 I knew I was in for a going-over,
00:45:53 having been
00:45:56 You were all ready for us
00:45:58 Won't take long.
00:46:01 give it to you
00:46:04 everything that happened.
00:46:06 Came down here last night around 2.15
00:46:11 You were pretty worked up, huh?
00:46:14 I'll say. I told him last month
00:46:18 I'd slap him silly.
00:46:20 Go on.
00:46:25 Well, that's all there was.
00:46:27 The door was unlocked,
00:46:31 nobody home, so I walk out.
00:46:34 With his body.
00:46:36 - Whose body?
00:46:39 That's sure smart figurin',
00:46:42 - I tell you...
00:46:45 We've got every one of your moves.
00:46:47 You took the body to the river,
00:46:49 knocked out the watchman on the pier
00:46:53 Oh, so I knocked out
00:46:56 OK, now let me tell you something.
00:46:59 I didn't see Paine. If I had seen him
00:47:02 I ain't denyin' that. He deserved it.
00:47:05 But I left this place
00:47:07 Then I picked up a fare
00:47:10 Congressman Reynolds.
00:47:12 Took him up to the Astor Hotel.
00:47:15 - Told me...
00:47:17 - Yes, sir.
00:47:20 Check all you want.
00:47:22 And what time do you claim
00:47:25 About 2.40.
00:47:27 Anybody see you around there?
00:47:29 Yeah. Uh... Pat Rafferty
00:47:35 The congressman doesn't answer
00:47:38 No. No, we'll check later.
00:47:40 The pier watchman was slugged at 3am
00:47:45 Mm-hm. Yes.
00:47:46 That gives Jiggs Taylor 20 minutes
00:47:50 to come back here from
00:47:53 He couldn't have come back here
00:47:56 lugged the body out to the car,
00:47:59 and slugged the night watchman
00:48:02 Seems we're on the wrong man,
00:48:04 especially if the congressman
00:48:07 It's not the wrong man.
00:48:10 and Taylor got the body at that time,
00:48:14 Well, that's screwy!
00:48:16 I told you I picked up
00:48:18 Sure you did. But you were on the way
00:48:21 when Reynolds hailed you.
00:48:23 He took him to the hotel. 20 minutes
00:48:28 slug the watchman at 3am
00:48:31 Paine was out of here at 1.10
00:48:33 We're wasting time, Lieutenant.
00:48:35 I don't think so, Dixon.
00:48:43 Bring them along.
00:48:54 Did you see anybody
00:48:57 carrying something over
00:48:59 - I didn't see anything like that.
00:49:02 - Says she didn't notice anyone...
00:49:06 I'm going to ask you a very important
00:49:10 Are you sure it was Kenneth Paine
00:49:14 Of course I'm sure. I never heard
00:49:18 I'm going to try a little experiment,
00:49:21 Taylor! I want you to put on
00:49:25 What for?
00:49:27 Put tape under his eye, somebody,
00:49:30 Oh, no, wait a second.
00:49:33 Now, don't act dumb, Taylor,
00:49:36 Last night you put on
00:49:39 and carried his bag out of here
00:49:41 after you'd killed him
00:49:44 You wanna come clean now, Jiggs?
00:49:46 - Oh, I told you the truth.
00:49:50 Don't do it, Dad. They have no right
00:49:54 No, I won't. I ain't goin' in
00:49:57 All right. Dixon, you're about
00:50:02 That's comic-strip stuff, Lieutenant.
00:50:04 The lady said she saw Paine
00:50:07 Sure I did.
00:50:11 No, you saw a raincoat,
00:50:17 - Anybody got some adhesive tape?
00:50:23 Under the left eye.
00:50:25 Mrs Tribaum, did he walk straight to
00:50:30 - He looked down.
00:50:32 Just walk to the car
00:50:35 Is this where you were sitting?
00:50:37 No. I was standing here
00:50:40 A taxi driver had asked me
00:50:43 Are you sure you could recognise
00:50:50 I can tell that fellow
00:50:53 Can you distinguish his face
00:50:56 No, but I can tell by something else
00:51:00 By what?
00:51:02 He didn't wave at me.
00:51:04 - Did Mr Paine always wave at you?
00:51:07 He went like this.
00:51:09 What about last night.
00:51:14 Do you remember?
00:51:17 Yes, I remember.
00:51:18 He didn't wave last night.
00:51:20 You're right, it wasn't Mr Paine.
00:51:23 No, never.
00:51:25 He would have waved.
00:51:27 Thank you, Mrs Tribaum.
00:51:30 That's it, boys, take him
00:51:33 - Well, you're kidding.
00:51:36 You thought you were pretty fancy
00:51:40 You got the body at 2.15,
00:51:42 dropped Congressman Reynolds
00:51:45 and hurried it back to the pier.
00:51:46 - Well, that's screwy! I...
00:51:49 - I'd like to talk to my father.
00:51:52 - May I talk to him alone?
00:52:00 Dad,
00:52:01 please,
00:52:03 did you see Ken last night?
00:52:06 So help me,
00:52:08 I swear by your ma,
00:52:10 I never saw him
00:52:14 I believe you.
00:52:19 You take Miss Taylor home, Casey.
00:52:22 I'd rather go alone, if I may.
00:52:43 I've been lookin' for you for an
00:52:48 You got to hand it to Thomas:
00:52:51 His first job, too.
00:52:53 Stop talking like an idiot.
00:52:56 Wait a minute, Mark, that ain't fair.
00:52:59 Don't tell me what's fair, I know.
00:53:02 Scalise did both jobs:
00:53:06 You can't go against the facts.
00:53:08 I bet Jiggs Taylor will confess
00:53:11 - See you later.
00:53:13 I'm going to get it out of Scalise.
00:53:16 Wait a minute, Mark.
00:53:18 You know the boss's orders,
00:53:21 Let me go.
00:53:23 Look, Mark, I'm gonna give it to you
00:53:26 I don't like to see you made a monkey
00:53:31 You're as dumb as Thomas.
00:53:36 - Come on, I'll drive you home.
00:53:39 You stick with your boss
00:53:43 You let me go or I'll paste you.
00:54:08 We're closed for the night.
00:54:10 - Scalise in here?
00:54:12 Don't bother.
00:54:25 Get your clothes on, Scalise.
00:54:28 When I'm ready, Mr Dixon.
00:54:30 - Hey, cut that out!
00:54:35 I warn you not to touch me.
00:54:37 Why? You don't seem to be
00:54:41 We found the one
00:54:43 - That's a lie.
00:54:46 It's always a pleasure
00:54:48 to watch a cop four-flush.
00:54:52 I don't like rats to grin at me.
00:54:54 That's too bad.
00:54:56 Maybe I'd better show you my hand,
00:55:03 Tonight I'm not kidding, Scalise.
00:55:07 We found out Morrison had you for
00:55:12 So you knifed him.
00:55:15 about Kenneth Paine sobering up
00:55:19 so you sent one of your mugs
00:55:22 You tryin' to frame me for Paine?
00:55:25 You killed Morrison
00:55:27 and I'm going to get a statement
00:55:30 Outside, you lugs. He's gonna talk,
00:55:35 Come on, I said outside!
00:55:38 OK, Steve.
00:56:02 Joe, Ernie!
00:56:29 - Have a look out front, Kramer.
00:56:45 Get your coats.
00:56:47 I oughta finish the job.
00:56:50 Wouldn't be smart: They'd put on
00:56:54 - They still out there?
00:56:56 - Both of them?
00:56:58 - Oh, I can't make up my mind.
00:57:01 All right, have it your way.
00:57:06 Get the key, Steve.
00:57:37 - Yes?
00:57:45 If you don't mind, I'd like
00:57:48 What's the matter?
00:57:50 You're hurt.
00:57:56 I could use a drink.
00:58:04 Where the devil am I?
00:58:06 I keep coming and going.
00:58:20 I don't know why l came here.
00:58:25 I'll go now.
00:58:27 You can't leave like this.
00:58:33 Why did I come here? I must have
00:58:38 What happened to you?
00:58:41 A run-in with Scalise and his pals.
00:58:44 Shouldn't l call the police?
00:58:47 Let's leave the police out of this.
00:58:49 I made a big idiot
00:58:54 Bigger than usual.
00:58:57 I'll fix your head. Come with me.
00:58:59 I suggest you use an axe.
00:59:15 Here, come and sit down.
00:59:21 What did they hit you with?
00:59:23 Various objects.
00:59:26 Why did you fight with Scalise?
00:59:29 Did it have anything
00:59:32 In a way, yes.
00:59:35 You don't think Dad did it.
00:59:40 What I think doesn't matter
00:59:44 Most important thing
00:59:47 That's what I came here for.
00:59:50 Here, hold this.
00:59:52 One that can't lose.
00:59:55 - But if Dad's innocent, I don't...
00:59:58 Innocent people
01:00:04 One false move
01:00:08 How much money have you got,
01:00:11 None.
01:00:13 No savings?
01:00:15 No.
01:00:17 Paine got 'em, huh?
01:00:20 Yes.
01:00:25 Thanks for the facial.
01:00:28 I feel a lot better now.
01:00:35 You go on back to bed. I'll be back
01:00:39 You wait here for me.
01:00:41 You're not fooling me.
01:00:43 You do believe Dad didn't kill him.
01:00:46 Your dad never touched him.
01:00:50 Good night.
01:01:23 I'm sorry to wake you up, Paul.
01:01:29 I need some dough.
01:01:31 Who stuck his finger in your eye?
01:01:34 I've got 700 in the bank.
01:01:40 It's for a lawyer. Thought
01:01:45 I want to get Norman Ackerman
01:01:49 He never lost a murder verdict
01:01:52 but you gotta slap down
01:01:59 Be right with you.
01:02:03 Who is it, Paul?
01:02:05 Mark. He wants 300 bucks.
01:02:08 - For what?
01:02:12 Since when
01:02:14 Shh!
01:02:17 Please, Shirley, don't argue.
01:02:19 After the way he treated you,
01:02:22 I told you: No arguments, please.
01:02:24 You told me you were never
01:02:31 I don't know, Shirley.
01:02:33 Sometimes you really get me sore
01:02:37 $300 for a man you were gonna punch
01:02:42 I...
01:03:12 Take them to the Acme Loan
01:03:18 Who knows? I might even
01:03:27 Yes?
01:03:28 'Detective Dixon is here
01:03:30 Have him come in.
01:03:32 Send off that cable, Mary,
01:03:37 - Hello, Mark.
01:03:41 Well, what happened to you?
01:03:44 I'm just fine.
01:03:46 - How do you do?
01:03:49 - Sit down.
01:03:50 I understand Ackerman's out of town.
01:03:53 He's in Washington, he's due back
01:03:56 I'd like to make an appointment
01:03:58 Her father's involved
01:04:01 I read about it.
01:04:03 I am. That's why I'm here.
01:04:08 Here's your retainer for
01:04:11 I'll hold it. Come in around 5.30.
01:04:14 Mr Ackerman will see you,
01:04:18 Thank you. Thank you very much.
01:04:22 I never heard of anything
01:04:27 Oh, my partner kicked in too.
01:04:31 You're an amazing man.
01:04:34 I could kiss you, right here.
01:04:38 I'll take a rain check on that.
01:04:41 Tell him you're late
01:04:45 Mr Friedman has dispensed
01:04:48 I'm the notorious
01:04:51 Might take their minds
01:04:54 That mug! I'll run him in.
01:04:56 I bet you would.
01:04:59 All right. Goodbye.
01:05:02 Phone call for you, Mr Detective.
01:05:05 - No. I'm busy.
01:05:07 I told him you weren't here.
01:05:09 It's wonderful how he looks at you.
01:05:12 he just eats you up with his eyes,
01:05:15 - Cut it out!
01:05:17 You don't know how to make love,
01:05:21 - Bye-bye, Martha.
01:05:28 It's a wonderful day.
01:05:32 No job, everybody against me,
01:05:36 and it's a wonderful day.
01:05:39 - Hey, Mark!
01:05:41 Excuse me a minute.
01:05:44 - Hello, Mike.
01:05:47 - What's up?
01:05:49 Come on!
01:05:52 Do you mind going up to see Ackerman
01:05:55 And wait for me at my hotel,
01:05:58 I'll be there, Mark.
01:06:05 Let's go.
01:06:17 - You wanted to see me, Inspector?
01:06:22 Is this one of the men
01:06:26 That was just a personal affair, sir.
01:06:29 Your personal affairs
01:06:31 seem to be getting in the way
01:06:33 Take this man out
01:06:41 You had no business
01:06:43 You were asked not to. You were told
01:06:48 I thought I could get a statement
01:06:50 Well, you didn't, and now you've
01:06:53 with your bull-headed tactics.
01:06:56 - I'll find him.
01:07:00 I'm not throwing you
01:07:04 but I'm inviting you to take one week
01:07:07 beginning as of now.
01:07:09 I don't want to see or hear of you
01:07:12 I want you go someplace
01:07:15 - Yes, sir.
01:07:18 All bunged up like a barrelhouse vag.
01:07:21 First thing you'd better do is get
01:07:26 That's all.
01:07:28 Yes, sir.
01:07:32 He's got a point.
01:07:35 until the Morrison job
01:07:38 It looked certain
01:07:40 Get on this fella Steve. I got a
01:07:45 And try talking to him
01:07:47 Yes, sir.
01:08:04 Sit down!
01:08:06 You are going to talk.
01:08:08 You were in that crap game
01:08:11 - Yeah, but I didn't see nothin'.
01:08:14 I want straight answers,
01:08:16 and I want them now.
01:08:21 Hello. Did you see Ackerman?
01:08:24 Yes.
01:08:33 You've been crying. What happened?
01:08:35 Mr Ackerman doesn't want
01:08:40 There are other lawyers.
01:08:45 I'll get in touch with Bill Cantwell.
01:08:50 He's as good as Ackerman.
01:08:52 It won't help.
01:08:55 It's no different than it was.
01:08:58 You felt all right this afternoon.
01:09:00 I didn't realise how serious it was,
01:09:03 but now I know.
01:09:05 I thought because Dad was innocent
01:09:09 - but it will.
01:09:12 It's already happened. He's in jail.
01:09:14 They'll try him,
01:09:19 Somebody else did it,
01:09:22 - He won't be tried.
01:09:26 Ackerman didn't take the case
01:09:30 That means
01:09:32 I'm not fooling you. Nothing
01:09:38 Why?
01:09:40 You didn't sound so certain before.
01:09:43 Now you're certain.
01:09:45 Because he didn't kill Paine.
01:09:48 But can you prove it?
01:09:50 - Yes.
01:09:54 Mark, you know something
01:09:57 That's right.
01:09:59 What?
01:10:01 What is it?
01:10:04 I'll tell you.
01:10:11 Please.
01:10:15 Oh, that's not fair,
01:10:19 even if you have to break
01:10:23 If you know something, Mark...
01:10:26 I can't stand thinking how he feels.
01:10:31 He's never done anything wrong.
01:10:36 He's always felt
01:10:39 Now he's in jail, like a criminal.
01:10:44 You don't know what it is
01:10:48 My father was a thief.
01:10:51 Wh...
01:10:54 He's dead now. He died when I was 17
01:10:59 I worked all my life
01:11:06 Mark...
01:11:08 Darling.
01:11:23 - You better go home.
01:11:26 Because you're a sucker
01:11:30 You're not wrong.
01:11:33 I trust you with my whole heart.
01:11:36 I'm glad you told me
01:11:39 You're not like him.
01:11:42 I know it.
01:11:45 Thanks. I've figured out what to do.
01:11:48 About your dad.
01:11:51 What?
01:11:53 Don't ask any questions.
01:11:59 - You look tired. Get some sleep.
01:12:02 I'm not afraid any more.
01:12:04 Everything's going to be all right,
01:12:07 Sure. It'll turn out all right.
01:12:13 - So long.
01:12:29 - OK, Mac.
01:12:32 I almost hit my head on the door.
01:12:34 That's OK, Willie, the cab's insured.
01:12:36 I wasn't doing nothin', Mr Dixon,
01:12:40 I'm not interested in that. You're
01:12:44 - I know.
01:12:46 - That's right.
01:12:49 You can't do nothin', Mr Dixon.
01:12:52 I can say I sent you up to Scalise's
01:12:56 Yeah?
01:12:57 Particularly if you prove it.
01:13:01 Like how?
01:13:02 - Don't play dumb!
01:13:05 No, by telling me where Scalise is.
01:13:09 and save yourself three years
01:13:13 - Come on.
01:13:16 You're asking for it,
01:13:17 - and you're gonna get it.
01:13:20 - They'll kill me, Mr Dixon.
01:13:22 I gotta find out first. A telephone,
01:13:26 OK.
01:13:28 - Hey, Mac, pull up at that bar.
01:13:34 - Keep the change, Mac.
01:13:41 Don't push me, they'll catch on.
01:13:48 Get in that booth. I won't listen.
01:14:06 Hello?
01:14:07 Hello, this is Willie Bender.
01:14:11 Listen, Kramer,
01:14:14 What do you mean what do I mean?
01:14:17 He's right outside the booth.
01:14:19 No, no, he can't hear nothin'.
01:14:23 What's the idea calling here? Ain't
01:14:26 That copper'll grab this number.
01:14:28 - Who is it?
01:14:32 This is Scalise. Is Dixon alone?
01:14:36 It's OK, Willie.
01:14:39 Now, get this straight.
01:14:41 I'd like to see Mr Dixon,
01:14:46 Here's the way I want you to work it.
01:14:48 Write this down, so if he's watching
01:14:54 Hold it just a second.
01:14:57 Go ahead.
01:14:58 Tell him I'll meet him
01:15:05 Yeah.
01:15:07 Yeah, yeah.
01:15:10 Yeah.
01:15:12 OK, I got it.
01:15:13 Yeah, yeah.
01:15:17 What did Scalise say?
01:15:19 I wasn't conversin' with Scalise,
01:15:22 He says he'll contact Scalise
01:15:24 and you should be in the East River
01:15:28 If everything's OK, he'll pick you up
01:15:33 - What else?
01:15:35 - Thanks.
01:15:38 I done everything I could.
01:16:25 Hello, Blue Star Service?
01:16:27 Send a messenger to the Greystone
01:16:31 Have him wait in the lobby.
01:16:35 Right away.
01:17:13 Inspector Nicholas Foley.
01:17:15 Dear Sir,
01:17:17 I didn't have the guts
01:17:22 because I didn't want to end up
01:17:24 like Sandy Dixon's kid.
01:17:30 That's what every hood in New York
01:17:35 and even in the department
01:17:41 I wanted to end up as a cop
01:17:48 I killed Kenneth Paine.
01:17:59 I went in to pinch him.
01:18:01 He slugged me, I hit back.
01:18:06 How was I to know
01:18:16 But I covered it up like a mobster,
01:18:21 because I couldn't shake loose
01:18:27 Now I'm shaking loose.
01:18:31 I'm going to get Scalise for you.
01:18:37 He's a hood, like my old man was.
01:18:43 You won't have to worry about
01:18:49 You can pull him in for mine,
01:18:53 and that will square things
01:18:56 Sincerely, Mark Dixon.
01:22:13 Where's Scalise?
01:22:15 Scalise ain't here.
01:22:20 What is the message?
01:22:22 He's willing to see you
01:22:24 What conditions?
01:22:26 You gotta park your gun.
01:22:31 - Where is he?
01:22:34 It's no go with a rod.
01:22:40 Put it down here.
01:22:44 Anything else?
01:22:46 - We gotta frisk you.
01:22:56 - He's clean.
01:23:00 It's OK.
01:23:12 Sit down, Mr Dixon.
01:23:16 I told the boys you'd come alone.
01:23:18 That's because I understand you,
01:23:21 What I don't understand
01:23:23 is your reason for calling on me
01:23:26 I said sit down.
01:23:28 I never saw a man
01:23:32 I consider it almost humorous
01:23:34 the way you came hot-footing it
01:23:36 I'm in the clear on the Morrison job.
01:23:39 The police are satisfied
01:23:41 but you're still hot on my neck
01:23:44 Sit down, Dixon.
01:23:46 I'm not kiddin'.
01:23:52 It don't add up, Dixon,
01:23:55 Maybe you thought you could start me
01:23:59 Well, we're not running, Dixon. We're
01:24:04 passports in order and everything.
01:24:06 And I'm leavin' you locked in here.
01:24:09 It'll give us something
01:24:11 You sitting here for a couple of days
01:24:14 trying desperately
01:24:16 It'll maybe give the department
01:24:20 Well, go ahead, Mr Dixon.
01:24:22 You came out here for something.
01:24:25 You've got something on your mind,
01:24:28 I'm gonna give you some advice,
01:24:31 and you'd better listen carefully.
01:24:33 You start mussin' me up
01:24:36 You'll only throw one punch
01:24:40 I've given them instructions.
01:24:44 - Hold it. No more shootin'.
01:24:46 Sure. Sure, he asked for it.
01:24:48 That's what he came here for:
01:24:52 He's crazy.
01:24:55 Kramer, get your stuff, fix him up.
01:24:58 That's a fancy way
01:25:01 gettin' yourself knocked off.
01:25:03 A guy's gotta be out of his head
01:25:07 I didn't know a guy could hate
01:25:12 And all because your old man
01:25:15 I got it added up now, Dixon.
01:25:18 I should've figured it last night,
01:25:20 when you tried to hang
01:25:22 You were the first cop
01:25:25 You found Paine, slugged him, killed
01:25:28 You had to slug a night watchman.
01:25:31 And you've been walkin' around
01:25:34 The man who hates crooks.
01:25:36 The law that works by itself.
01:25:39 The cop who can't stand
01:25:42 So what is he? A hood and a mobster
01:25:51 It's interesting how blood will tell.
01:25:54 Your old man
01:25:56 to see how you finally followed
01:25:59 You and me oughta get friendly when
01:26:02 There are a lot of things
01:26:05 They got Steve, beat it out of him.
01:26:08 - Come on!
01:26:11 Let him bleed. Come on!
01:26:30 Get the elevator.
01:27:10 - Open the door! It's stuck.
01:27:13 - Press the emergency button.
01:27:15 - We're stuck!
01:27:21 That dirty cop.
01:27:28 Can't change, can you?
01:27:30 Always have to break orders,
01:27:33 This time I've got to hand it to you.
01:27:36 Thanks, Inspector.
01:27:40 Mark.
01:27:43 They're letting Dad out.
01:27:46 I don't know what to say, but thanks.
01:27:49 He didn't do it single-handed,
01:27:52 The department contributed towards
01:27:56 Not that I'm not proud of you, Mark.
01:27:58 I'm putting you back where you were
01:28:02 - Oh, that's wonderful.
01:28:04 Since there was no report
01:28:10 You expected to die!
01:28:12 I don't think Mr Dixon knows
01:28:14 He was pretty sore at me
01:28:17 I think he's in a different mood now.
01:28:21 And take a rest, till your arm heals.
01:28:25 Dad's waiting, Mark.
01:28:29 Sounds like a nice holiday
01:28:32 Go on, you've earned it.
01:28:46 I'd like you to open the letter,
01:28:49 You're sure?
01:28:51 Yes, sir. Open it.
01:29:10 What is it?
01:29:18 Mark!
01:29:25 That clears up both cases.
01:29:27 You're under arrest, Mark.
01:29:30 No! What is it?
01:29:32 Please tell me, Mark!
01:29:34 Would you mind
01:29:45 Report to Lieutenant Thomas.
01:29:49 Yes, sir.
01:30:01 Mark!
01:30:04 Goodbye, Morgan.
01:30:07 No, Mark. They'll believe you.
01:30:11 It was an accident, a mistake.
01:30:14 Anybody can make a mistake.
01:30:18 You mean you'll give
01:30:21 Every chance in the world.
01:30:26 That's enough to live for.
01:30:30 So long, darling.
