00:01:13 My name's Marlowe.
00:01:15 Yes, Mr. Marlowe.
00:01:21 - I'll tell the general that you're here.
00:01:38 Good morning.
00:01:45 You're not very tall, are you?
00:01:48 Well, I tried to be.
00:01:52 Not bad-looking...
00:01:54 ...though you probably know it.
00:01:56 Thank you.
00:01:58 What's your name?
00:01:59 Reilly. Doghouse Reilly.
00:02:02 That's a funny kind of name.
00:02:05 You think so?
00:02:07 What are you? A prizefighter?
00:02:10 - No, I'm a shamus.
00:02:12 A private detective.
00:02:13 You're making fun of me.
00:02:24 You're cute.
00:02:29 The general will see you now, sir.
00:02:39 - Who's that?
00:02:41 You ought to wean her.
00:02:55 - This is Mr. Marlowe, general.
00:02:58 - Sit down, sir.
00:03:00 Brandy, Norris.
00:03:02 - How do you like your brandy, sir?
00:03:06 I used to like mine with champagne.
00:03:08 Champagne cold as Valley Forge...
00:03:10 ...with about three ponies
00:03:13 Come, come, man!
00:03:15 I like to see people drink.
00:03:19 That'll do, Norris.
00:03:21 You may take off your coat, sir.
00:03:23 Thank you.
00:03:25 Too hot in here for any man
00:03:29 You may smoke too.
00:03:31 I can still enjoy the smell of it.
00:03:35 Nice state of affairs when a man
00:03:40 You're looking, sir, at a very dull
00:03:44 Crippled, paralyzed in both legs.
00:03:47 Little I can eat, and
00:03:49 ...it's hardly worth the name.
00:03:51 I seem to exist largely on heat,
00:03:56 The orchids are an excuse
00:03:59 - Do you like orchids?
00:04:02 Nasty things.
00:04:03 Their flesh is too much
00:04:06 Their perfume has the rotten
00:04:13 Tell me about yourself.
00:04:15 There isn't much to tell.
00:04:18 I can still speak English,
00:04:21 I worked for the
00:04:23 Bernie Ohls, the chief inspector,
00:04:26 You didn't like working
00:04:30 I was fired for insubordination.
00:04:36 I always did, myself.
00:04:39 What do you know about my family?
00:04:41 Well, you're a widower,
00:04:43 You have two daughters.
00:04:46 ...and one married to a man
00:04:49 - Both living with you and both...
00:04:52 Both pretty and both pretty wild.
00:04:56 - Why'd you want to see me?
00:05:00 Again?
00:05:01 About a year ago, I paid a man
00:05:04 ...to let my younger daughter alone.
00:05:07 What does that mean?
00:05:10 It means, "Hm!"
00:05:12 It didn't go through the DA
00:05:15 Who handled it for you?
00:05:17 Shawn Regan.
00:05:18 There must be some reason why
00:05:22 Shawn has left me.
00:05:23 - I thought I hadn't seen him lately.
00:05:28 I had no claim on him.
00:05:32 But I had hoped that he'd come
00:05:35 And that at least
00:05:40 That's what hurt.
00:05:43 You knew him too?
00:05:44 Yes, in the old days when he
00:05:47 ...and I was on the other side.
00:05:50 We used to swap shots
00:05:52 ...or drinks between shots.
00:05:55 My respects to you, sir.
00:05:57 Few men ever swapped more than
00:06:02 He commanded a brigade
00:06:04 But you knew that.
00:06:06 No, I didn't.
00:06:10 I know he was a good man
00:06:12 No one was more pleased than I
00:06:16 ...whatever he was.
00:06:18 My friend.
00:06:20 My son, almost.
00:06:23 Many an hour he sat with me,
00:06:26 ...drinking brandy and telling
00:06:31 Well, enough of that.
00:06:33 Here.
00:06:44 Read the other side.
00:07:04 These her signatures?
00:07:06 - Who's Arthur Geiger?
00:07:09 - Did you ask her?
00:07:11 If I did, she'd just suck
00:07:14 I met her in the hall
00:07:17 Then she tried to sit on my lap
00:07:20 Well?
00:07:23 Your other daughter, Mrs. Rutledge.
00:07:27 They alike?
00:07:28 They're alike only in having
00:07:32 Vivian is spoiled, exacting...
00:07:35 ...smart and ruthless.
00:07:37 Carmen is still a little child who
00:07:42 I assume they have
00:07:45 ...besides those they've
00:07:48 If I seem a bit sinister
00:07:51 ...it's because my hold
00:07:54 ...to include any
00:07:56 I need hardly add that any man
00:07:59 ...and who indulges, for the first
00:08:03 ...deserves all he gets.
00:08:06 Well?
00:08:13 Pay him.
00:08:15 Why?
00:08:16 She signed these notes, didn't she?
00:08:23 Who's this Joe Brody
00:08:26 I can't recall.
00:08:29 I think he called himself a gambler.
00:08:33 Geiger says these are gambling debts.
00:08:35 They may be.
00:08:36 Think they are?
00:08:41 You want me to take this Geiger
00:08:44 Want to know anything?
00:08:46 I just want to get rid of him.
00:08:47 Might cost you a little.
00:08:51 Thanks for the drink.
00:08:53 I enjoyed your drink
00:08:55 - You'll hear from me.
00:09:10 Mr. Marlowe, Mrs. Rutledge would like
00:09:14 About the money, the general
00:09:17 ...to give you a check
00:09:19 Instructed you how?
00:09:21 I see, sir. I forget
00:09:24 By the way he rang his bell, sir.
00:09:27 - You write his checks?
00:09:29 Good for you.
00:09:32 ...but when I do, I get
00:09:35 - How did she know I was here?
00:09:38 I was obliged to tell her
00:09:41 I don't know as I like that.
00:09:42 Are you attempting
00:09:45 Just having fun trying
00:09:48 This way, sir.
00:09:52 - Go right in. Say you're expected.
00:10:00 You wanted to see me?
00:10:07 So you're a private detective?
00:10:09 I didn't know they existed,
00:10:11 Or else they were greasy men
00:10:15 You're a mess, aren't you?
00:10:18 I'm not very tall either.
00:10:20 Next time I'll come on stilts, wear
00:10:24 I doubt if even that would help.
00:10:26 Now, this business of Dad's,
00:10:30 It shouldn't be too tough.
00:10:31 I'd have thought
00:10:34 Not too much.
00:10:35 What will your first step be?
00:10:38 - The usual one.
00:10:40 Sure there is.
00:10:42 ...on page 47 of How to be a
00:10:46 ...and your father
00:10:48 You must've read one
00:10:50 - Hear what I said about the drink?
00:10:53 - I said your father...
00:10:59 Now, look, Mr. Marlowe,
00:11:02 I want this case handled with
00:11:05 That's the way
00:11:07 I see. No professional secrets?
00:11:10 - I thought you wanted a drink.
00:11:12 Then what...
00:11:18 How'd you like Dad?
00:11:20 I liked him.
00:11:21 He liked Shawn. Shawn Regan.
00:11:24 I suppose you know who he is.
00:11:27 You don't have to play poker with me.
00:11:29 - Doesn't Dad want to find him?
00:11:32 Of course. It wasn't right
00:11:35 Broke Dad's heart,
00:11:38 - Or did he?
00:11:40 I don't see what there is
00:11:43 I don't like your manners!
00:11:44 I'm not crazy about yours.
00:11:47 I don't mind if you don't
00:11:50 I grieve over them evenings.
00:11:51 I don't mind your drinking
00:11:54 But don't waste your time
00:11:57 People don't talk to me like that!
00:12:02 Do you always think
00:12:06 ...like trained seals?
00:12:08 I usually get away with it too.
00:12:10 How nice for you!
00:12:12 Just what is it you're afraid of?
00:12:16 Dad didn't see you
00:12:19 Didn't he?
00:12:20 Could you find him
00:12:22 Maybe. When did he go?
00:12:24 About a month back.
00:12:25 Drove off one afternoon
00:12:28 They found his car parked
00:12:31 They? Who's they?
00:12:33 Dad didn't tell you.
00:12:35 He told me about Regan, but that's
00:12:39 That's what you wanted me to say.
00:12:41 I'm sure I don't care
00:12:44 I'm wasting your time.
00:12:47 Goodbye, Mrs. Rutledge.
00:12:55 Oh, Norris.
00:12:57 You made a mistake. Mrs. Rutledge
00:13:00 I'm sorry, sir.
00:13:32 - Did you find what you wanted?
00:13:34 You don't look like a man who'd
00:13:38 I collect blondes in bottles too.
00:13:58 Can I be of any assistance?
00:14:00 Would you happen
00:14:04 - A what?
00:14:07 A first edition?
00:14:08 No, no, the third, the third!
00:14:11 The one with the erratum on page 116.
00:14:13 I'm afraid not.
00:14:15 How about a Chevalier Audubon,
00:14:17 Not at the moment.
00:14:18 You do sell books?
00:14:20 What do those look like? Grapefruit?
00:14:23 Well, they look like books.
00:14:25 - He's not in just now.
00:14:38 I said, Mr. Geiger is not in!
00:14:40 I heard you.
00:14:43 I'm late for my lecture on
00:14:47 The word is "ceramics."
00:14:49 And they ain't Argentine,
00:14:52 You did sell a book once, didn't you?
00:14:54 I'll run along to the library.
00:14:56 Or I could go to that bookstore
00:15:00 Do so.
00:15:01 Thank you.
00:15:26 Is there something I can do for you?
00:15:28 - Would you do me a small favor?
00:15:31 - You know Geiger's bookstore?
00:15:35 You know Geiger by sight?
00:15:37 What's he look like?
00:15:39 Wouldn't it be easier to go
00:15:41 I've already done that.
00:15:44 I know anything about rare books?
00:15:47 You could try me.
00:15:48 Do you have a Ben Hur,
00:15:50 ...with a duplicated line
00:16:01 Or a Chevalier Audubon, 1840?
00:16:09 Nobody would. There isn't one.
00:16:12 The girl in Geiger's bookstore
00:16:17 I see.
00:16:19 You begin to interest me vaguely.
00:16:24 I'm a private dick on a case.
00:16:27 Perhaps I'm asking too much...
00:16:29 ...although it doesn't seem
00:16:34 Geiger's in his early forties...
00:16:37 ...medium height...
00:16:38 ...fattish...
00:16:41 ...soft all over,
00:16:44 ...well-dressed...
00:16:46 ...wears a black hat...
00:16:48 ...affects a knowledge
00:16:51 ...and I think his left eye is glass.
00:16:55 You'd make a good cop.
00:16:58 Thanks.
00:17:01 Going to wait for him to come out?
00:17:05 They don't close
00:17:08 And it's raining pretty hard.
00:17:10 I got my car and...
00:17:16 That's right, it is, isn't it?
00:17:18 It just happens I got a bottle
00:17:22 I'd a lot rather get wet in here.
00:17:26 Well!
00:17:38 Looks like we're closed
00:17:47 Tell me more about this business.
00:17:49 There isn't much to tell.
00:17:51 What's the matter?
00:17:53 I'm just wondering if you have to...
00:17:57 Not necessarily.
00:18:06 Little things like that make an...
00:18:09 Hello!
00:18:24 I hate to tell you, but that's
00:18:29 Who's the man getting out?
00:18:31 Geiger's shadow.
00:18:35 Thanks.
00:18:36 - If you ever want to buy a book...
00:18:39 With duplications.
00:18:40 So long.
00:18:42 So long, pal.
00:23:10 You're cute.
00:23:12 And you're higher than a kite.
00:23:14 I know you. Doghouse Reilly.
00:23:18 You're cute.
00:23:19 What do you know about this?
00:23:21 Mr. Geiger, here on the floor.
00:23:24 He's cute too.
00:23:27 You got a dead man at your feet.
00:23:31 You talk a lot, Reilly.
00:23:34 Come on!
00:23:43 Lie down there and be quiet.
00:23:45 All right, Reilly.
00:25:02 Come on, we're going.
00:25:17 - Good evening, sir.
00:25:19 - I'd like to see General Sternwood.
00:25:21 What about Mrs. Rutledge?
00:25:24 Good evening, Mrs. Rutledge.
00:25:28 I've got your sister outside.
00:25:30 But she's not walking very well.
00:25:52 Are you sure...?
00:25:53 Yes, she'll be all right
00:26:00 Did you do this?
00:26:02 That? Oh, yes, that's
00:26:05 ...I always provide all my clients.
00:26:08 Including being insolent.
00:26:11 - I didn't find her.
00:26:13 I haven't been here, and
00:26:16 That bad?
00:26:19 Just what did happen?
00:26:20 - You're fond of your sister.
00:26:23 - Do anything for her, wouldn't you?
00:26:25 Then drop this.
00:26:27 I still think I should know...
00:26:28 Don't even ask her.
00:26:31 She never remembers, anyway.
00:26:33 Just what did she forget
00:26:41 What'd she tell you?
00:26:43 Not half as much as you did.
00:26:46 Take it easy.
00:26:47 I don't slap so good around
00:26:53 You go too far, Marlowe.
00:26:56 Harsh words to throw at a man...
00:26:59 ...when he's walking out
00:27:01 Good night, Mrs. Rutledge.
00:27:05 Thanks, Norris.
00:27:07 I've put her car away.
00:27:08 If anybody asks,
00:27:11 - Forget about my being here.
00:27:14 May I call a cab?
00:27:15 It'd be better if you didn't.
00:27:17 Good night.
00:29:19 - Hello, Bernie. Come in.
00:29:22 Don't you go to bed?
00:29:23 What you been doing?
00:29:24 Just sitting around.
00:29:26 All evening?
00:29:28 What is it?
00:29:30 Does it have to be something?
00:29:31 You're a friend, but when
00:29:34 ...just drops in at 2 A.M.,
00:29:36 Working on cipher, huh?
00:29:38 Just fooling around.
00:29:40 You're working for
00:29:42 Thanks to you.
00:29:43 Done anything for them yet?
00:29:45 I started today.
00:29:48 All right. They seem to be
00:29:52 There's a Packard
00:29:54 ...washing around in the surf
00:29:58 And there's a guy in it.
00:30:00 - Could it be Regan?
00:30:02 Shawn Regan.
00:30:04 That Irish ex-legger
00:30:06 ...to do his drinking for him?
00:30:08 What would he be doing down there?
00:30:11 What would anybody
00:30:14 That's what I'm going to Lido
00:30:17 Yeah, I do.
00:30:19 - How's the weather?
00:30:22 - What time did that call come in?
00:30:26 - What kind of car you say it was?
00:30:46 - Hello, Bernie.
00:30:47 You got him out.
00:30:49 Owen Taylor. Sternwood's chauffeur,
00:30:53 - What's the story?
00:30:55 There's where he went
00:30:58 The rain stopped here about 9 P.M.
00:31:00 The broken rails are dry inside.
00:31:12 Let's have it, doc.
00:31:14 His neck's broken and something
00:31:17 What made the bruise?
00:31:19 Whatever it was, it was covered.
00:31:21 The wound had bled under
00:31:24 - Blackjack?
00:31:26 Bernie, funny thing.
00:31:28 The hand throttle is set
00:31:30 Thanks, Jim. So long, doc.
00:31:33 All right, boys. Take him away.
00:31:38 - Could be drunk or a suicide.
00:31:42 You know anything about Owen Taylor?
00:31:44 Only that a few
00:31:46 ...lost their jobs on account
00:31:49 Tell me what
00:31:51 They told me blackmail.
00:31:53 Who were they after? Carmen?
00:31:56 This doesn't look like
00:31:59 You know, I got a feeling that...
00:32:01 Me? I didn't do this.
00:32:05 What were you going to say, Phil?
00:32:07 Give me another day, Bernie.
00:32:10 Okay. Let's go home.
00:32:22 Good morning.
00:32:23 You do get up.
00:32:25 ...you worked in bed,
00:32:27 - Who's he?
00:32:32 Come into my boudoir.
00:32:42 You don't put on a front.
00:32:44 Not much money in this work
00:32:46 Are you honest?
00:32:47 - We're going to start that again?
00:32:51 - Perhaps I was rude.
00:32:54 You want to see me about Taylor?
00:32:56 So you know about that?
00:32:58 Poor Owen.
00:32:59 The DA's man took me down to Lido.
00:33:04 He knew Owen Taylor wanted
00:33:07 Perhaps it wouldn't
00:33:09 You see, he was in love with her.
00:33:11 But I didn't come here about Owen.
00:33:15 You still can't tell me
00:33:18 Not without his permission.
00:33:20 You can't even tell me
00:33:24 You better look at this.
00:33:27 "Eight thirty-five."
00:33:29 That's right.
00:33:32 She takes a nice picture.
00:33:34 They want 5000 for
00:33:37 The demand came how?
00:33:38 A woman telephoned me after
00:33:40 - What else?
00:33:43 This thing isn't
00:33:45 - They think it is.
00:33:48 She said if they didn't
00:33:50 ...I'd be talking to my sister
00:33:53 She said there was a police jam
00:33:55 What kind of a jam?
00:33:57 I don't know.
00:33:59 You know where this picture
00:34:02 - I haven't the slightest idea.
00:34:05 - Talk to Carmen about it?
00:34:08 Figure out a story?
00:34:10 - Norris fixed that.
00:34:13 She was in all evening.
00:34:14 Police checked when
00:34:17 Go ahead and scratch.
00:34:22 What was Owen doing
00:34:24 Nobody knows.
00:34:27 Why? You think...
00:34:28 That he knew about this picture?
00:34:32 Outside of what the woman said...
00:34:34 ...you don't know why
00:34:39 That's why I came to you.
00:34:41 There's five fingers on a glove.
00:34:42 Why didn't you go to the police?
00:34:44 You were afraid they'd find
00:34:47 Then where would the Sternwoods be?
00:34:49 May I use your phone, Mr. Marlowe?
00:34:59 Police headquarters, please.
00:35:03 Hello, this is Mrs...
00:35:07 Hello. What do you want, please?
00:35:10 What?
00:35:11 I called you?
00:35:13 Say, who is this?
00:35:15 Sergeant Reilly?
00:35:18 Wait a minute.
00:35:24 Hello. Who's this?
00:35:26 The police?
00:35:29 If you know it, why did...
00:35:30 Look, this is not a police station!
00:35:34 What was that you said?
00:35:37 My father should hear this.
00:35:41 Hello. Who is this?
00:35:43 Yeah, but she just told you that...
00:35:45 You're the police!
00:35:47 Well, that's different.
00:35:51 I can do what?
00:35:52 Where?
00:35:54 Oh, no! I wouldn't like that,
00:35:58 I hope the sergeant
00:36:00 You like to play games, don't you?
00:36:04 Why did you stop me phoning?
00:36:06 Because I'm working for your father.
00:36:08 Or because I think I'm beginning to
00:36:12 I prefer the second reason.
00:36:15 Well, let's get back to business.
00:36:20 - Can you get it?
00:36:21 - Where from, your father?
00:36:24 Where would you get it?
00:36:26 Well, from Eddie Mars.
00:36:28 The gambler?
00:36:29 That explains why you
00:36:32 - I like gambling.
00:36:34 How do you know he'll
00:36:36 I can get the money.
00:36:37 I've been a good customer
00:36:40 Another reason:
00:36:41 There's a bond between
00:36:45 You see, Shawn Regan ran off
00:36:48 That doesn't interest you?
00:36:51 It might make it easier
00:36:54 If I were looking for him.
00:36:57 Is Regan mixed up in this?
00:36:59 No. Shawn's not in any
00:37:02 I'm glad you said that.
00:37:05 - Tell you what?
00:37:08 You know, it's a funny thing.
00:37:10 You're trying to find out
00:37:12 And I'm trying to find out why you...
00:37:14 You could go on forever,
00:37:17 It'll give us something
00:37:20 Among other things.
00:37:22 You wanted me to do something
00:37:26 That call, how'd you leave it?
00:37:27 She's to call me at 6 p.m.
00:37:30 Phone me when you've heard from her.
00:37:32 As long as you're going
00:37:34 ...you'd better take this.
00:37:36 Goodbye, Mr. Marlowe.
00:37:41 Well, it wasn't intentional.
00:37:43 Try it sometime.
00:37:52 - I'm back again. Remember me?
00:37:58 Do you remember me now?
00:38:00 Now, see here!
00:38:02 That was only a stall
00:38:04 I got something to sell.
00:38:09 No, he isn't.
00:38:11 Drop the veil.
00:38:14 Is he sick?
00:38:16 No, that wouldn't do.
00:38:19 Say, Agnes, you...
00:38:22 Come on, Carol.
00:38:26 Hurry up, will you?
00:38:29 - Perhaps...
00:38:31 - What do you want?
00:38:33 You'd better come tomorrow.
00:38:35 In the morning? Early?
00:38:37 Because it looks like
00:38:51 All right, driver. Let's go!
00:38:58 Around the corner, then take it easy.
00:39:01 - Where are we going?
00:39:04 I'm your girl, bud.
00:39:06 It wouldn't be bad.
00:39:08 That station wagon coming out
00:39:57 Here you are, sugar.
00:39:59 If you can use me again sometime,
00:40:03 Day and night?
00:40:04 Night's better.
00:40:40 - What are you...
00:40:43 The man that didn't grow very tall.
00:40:46 What's the matter,
00:40:49 Come on. I've got a key.
00:40:52 - Where'd you leave your car?
00:41:12 Looking for something?
00:41:14 How much do you remember
00:41:16 Remember what?
00:41:18 I was sick last night, I was home.
00:41:20 Before you went home.
00:41:22 You remember, all right.
00:41:25 Quit your stalling
00:41:27 - Were you the one who was here?
00:41:31 Are you the police?
00:41:33 No, I'm a friend of your father's.
00:41:35 Who killed Geiger?
00:41:37 Who else knows about it?
00:41:39 What, that he's dead?
00:41:41 Not the cops, or they'd
00:41:43 Was it Joe Brody?
00:41:45 Joe Brody.
00:41:46 Who's he?
00:41:48 I don't know how much trouble
00:41:50 ...but I hope you've had plenty
00:41:53 Did Brody kill him?
00:41:54 I kill who?
00:42:00 Yes, Joe did it.
00:42:02 He did?
00:42:05 Why?
00:42:07 I don't know.
00:42:09 But you're ready to tell
00:42:11 That is, if we can get
00:42:13 You mean...?
00:42:14 It's gone. I looked for it.
00:42:17 I've got to go home now.
00:42:20 I wouldn't say anything
00:42:23 I wouldn't say anything
00:42:26 That you were ever here.
00:42:29 Just leave it to Reilly.
00:42:32 Your name isn't Reilly...
00:42:48 Excuse the casual entrance.
00:42:52 Mr. Geiger around?
00:42:53 We don't know where he is.
00:42:55 We found the door open
00:42:59 - Friends of his?
00:43:01 We dropped in for a book.
00:43:03 Any message if he comes back?
00:43:04 No, I don't think so.
00:43:08 Just a minute.
00:43:10 The girl can go.
00:43:11 - I'd like to talk to you.
00:43:15 I've got two boys out in the car.
00:43:18 It's like that, eh?
00:43:21 Run along, angel.
00:43:30 Your story sounds wrong.
00:43:31 That's too bad.
00:43:35 Maybe I can find one.
00:43:43 Blood.
00:43:45 Is that so?
00:43:47 Do you mind?
00:43:48 No, I'm used to it.
00:43:50 I think we'll let
00:43:53 - We'll have some law...
00:43:56 Who are you, soldier?
00:43:57 Marlowe.
00:43:59 - Who's the girl?
00:44:01 Geiger tried to throw a loop on her.
00:44:04 Convenient, the door being open.
00:44:06 Wasn't it?
00:44:08 - That your business?
00:44:10 I could make yours mine.
00:44:11 You wouldn't like it.
00:44:15 All right, I own this house.
00:44:18 - Now what do you think of it?
00:44:21 I take them as they come.
00:44:23 Got any good ideas?
00:44:24 One or two.
00:44:27 Or somebody got gunned
00:44:29 Or he had meat for dinner
00:44:32 No, I don't like it either.
00:44:36 I don't get it.
00:44:38 Don't you, Mr. Mars?
00:44:40 Wondered why you didn't
00:44:42 You're telling me Geiger was
00:44:45 What racket?
00:44:46 I wouldn't know.
00:44:47 But I'll tell you
00:44:50 Somebody cleaned out
00:44:52 You talk too much.
00:44:54 You really got those boys outside?
00:44:58 Open the door.
00:44:59 Open it yourself.
00:45:07 It's all right.
00:45:09 While you're here, look him over.
00:45:16 - Pardon me.
00:45:18 Philip Marlowe, Hobart Arms,
00:45:21 Special license,
00:45:24 All right, outside.
00:45:25 A shamus.
00:45:26 The man said, outside.
00:45:27 He said that.
00:45:33 He kills me.
00:45:36 Is he any good?
00:45:38 Who? Sidney?
00:45:41 All right, talk.
00:45:42 Not to you.
00:45:44 Who cleaned out Geiger's store?
00:45:46 Lots of weather we're having.
00:45:49 I might make it worth your while.
00:45:51 I might make it worth yours.
00:45:53 What do you care
00:45:56 - I could make you talk.
00:45:58 And?
00:45:59 Why don't you call the cops?
00:46:01 I think you'd better
00:46:05 By the way,
00:46:08 You take chances, Marlowe.
00:46:11 I get paid to.
00:46:33 Mrs. Rutledge. I've been
00:46:36 I'm sorry.
00:46:39 - She didn't call?
00:46:41 Did you get the money,
00:46:45 I have the money. I'll get in touch
00:46:50 All right, I'll stay
00:48:18 Geiger?
00:48:20 You said what?
00:48:21 Arthur Geiger.
00:48:24 - I don't know anybody by that name.
00:48:27 - So what?
00:48:29 And you don't know Geiger.
00:48:32 You've got a funny sense of humor.
00:48:35 Joe, you got Geiger's stuff.
00:48:39 Don't you think we ought to talk?
00:48:41 Now!
00:48:43 All right. If you think
00:48:50 You alone, Joe?
00:48:53 Except for this.
00:48:56 My, my, such a lot of guns
00:49:00 You're the second guy
00:49:02 ...a gat in the hand
00:49:06 Put it down, Joe.
00:49:08 The other guy was Eddie Mars.
00:49:11 If he gets wise to where you were
00:49:14 What would I be to Eddie Mars?
00:49:16 I don't know if you don't.
00:49:18 Look, don't get me wrong.
00:49:20 I'm not a tough guy.
00:49:22 Just careful.
00:49:23 You're not careful enough.
00:49:25 That play with Geiger's stuff
00:49:28 Don't kid yourself I won't
00:49:31 What's your story?
00:49:32 Why don't you ask
00:49:35 She must get tired
00:49:37 Come on out, Agnes.
00:49:39 Hello, sugar.
00:49:40 I knew you were trouble.
00:49:42 Ask Mrs. Rutledge to come out too.
00:49:47 What did you come for?
00:49:48 - Why'd you lie to me?
00:49:51 I keep out of it!
00:49:52 I don't want you here.
00:49:54 But he won't let me.
00:49:55 He's curious, bothered
00:49:58 You bet I'm wondering
00:50:00 - Sit down.
00:50:01 I didn't do anything.
00:50:04 Don't argue with the man.
00:50:06 - You're ruining things.
00:50:09 Say, look!
00:50:10 What are you up here for?
00:50:12 To keep her from paying you off,
00:50:15 What cops?
00:50:17 The cops that want to know
00:50:21 Look, Joe, you shot Geiger.
00:50:23 - I didn't know...
00:50:24 But he wasn't alone
00:50:27 Either you didn't notice that
00:50:31 But you had nerve enough
00:50:33 And you had nerve enough
00:50:36 - You're crazy!
00:50:37 So you could clean out the store...
00:50:40 ...before the law knew
00:50:43 You take chances. It's lucky
00:50:46 But you can step off for it anyway.
00:50:50 You think you've got me?
00:50:51 - Positive.
00:50:52 I told you, there was a witness.
00:50:57 You mean Carmen.
00:50:59 So you have got that picture.
00:51:01 I guess you think I'm dumb.
00:51:03 Just average, for a grafter.
00:51:05 You see, either you were
00:51:08 ...or you got the picture
00:51:11 You knew Carmen was there...
00:51:12 ...because you had your girlfriend
00:51:15 The only way you could have known
00:51:19 ...and seeing what happened.
00:51:21 Make sense?
00:51:23 Who are you?
00:51:24 A guy who gets paid to do
00:51:26 And all I'll get out
00:51:29 How about some dough?
00:51:32 Not from my client.
00:51:39 Stay right there.
00:51:44 Here. Watch him.
00:52:00 - Take it easy.
00:52:02 - Now...
00:52:03 You shot Geiger.
00:52:07 Hold it!
00:52:10 Get up. You look like a Pekinese.
00:52:14 Sit down, sugar.
00:52:16 Oh, yes, you were just about
00:52:29 There better not be
00:52:31 There won't be.
00:52:38 Can I have my picture now?
00:52:41 Can I have my gun?
00:52:43 Later.
00:52:47 You're cute. I like you.
00:52:49 This is nothing. I got a Balinese
00:52:54 You better take her home.
00:52:57 I suppose I should thank you.
00:52:59 No, just don't lie to me next time.
00:53:02 Come on, Carmen.
00:53:06 Hold it, Joe.
00:53:13 You got off easy, Joe.
00:53:15 - He gives me a pain...
00:53:18 You got your pictures.
00:53:19 - Where's the pain?
00:53:21 Get out!
00:53:22 Not yet. We got a few things
00:53:24 I told you to get out.
00:53:26 What difference does it make now?
00:53:28 Why'd you put the bee
00:53:30 I tapped the old man six months ago.
00:53:34 What made you think
00:53:36 - How well do you know her?
00:53:39 I figured she might have a thing
00:53:43 That's a little weak,
00:53:46 Say, Joe, how'd you get that picture?
00:53:48 You got what you came for,
00:53:50 I don't know anything about it.
00:53:53 - But you just gave it to me.
00:53:55 That's what I always draw.
00:53:57 Never once a man who's smart all the way
00:54:01 Did I hurt you much?
00:54:02 You and every other man.
00:54:04 Where'd you get that picture?
00:54:06 It fell out of somebody's pocket.
00:54:07 - Got an alibi for last night?
00:54:12 That's a great witness.
00:54:13 You can only die once,
00:54:16 A couple of murders?
00:54:18 I mean two murders. Where were you
00:54:21 Where were you?
00:54:22 All right, I was watching
00:54:25 Why?
00:54:26 - To get something on him.
00:54:29 It was raining hard
00:54:32 There was a car out front and another
00:54:36 - Who else was back there?
00:54:38 There was a big Packard near
00:54:41 It was registered to the Sternwoods.
00:54:43 Nothing happened, so I got tired
00:54:47 IKnow where that Packard is now?
00:54:49 It's in the sheriff's garage.
00:54:52 It was fished out of 12 feet of water
00:54:55 There was a dead man in it.
00:54:57 It was pointed toward the end of
00:55:00 - You can't pin that on me.
00:55:02 Sit down, Joe.
00:55:06 The dead man was Owen Taylor,
00:55:09 He went up to Geiger's
00:55:12 He didn't like the games
00:55:15 He let himself in the back
00:55:18 The gun went off, as guns will,
00:55:22 Owen ran with the film.
00:55:26 All right, you're right.
00:55:28 ...and saw him run out and
00:55:31 I followed him.
00:55:33 He turned west on Sunset.
00:55:36 And beyond Beverly...
00:55:38 ...he skidded off the road
00:55:42 So I came up and played copper.
00:55:44 He had a gun. He was rattled,
00:55:48 I figured the film might be
00:55:51 That's the last I saw of him.
00:55:54 So you left an unconscious man
00:55:58 And you want me to believe
00:56:00 ...ran that car to the ocean,
00:56:03 ...then hid Geiger's body?
00:56:05 - Well, I didn't...
00:56:08 You wanted time to take over.
00:56:10 You can't prove I did it.
00:56:12 I don't particularly want to.
00:56:14 All I want to do is find out
00:56:19 Maybe you and I can make
00:56:22 Go ahead.
00:56:29 Maybe she's back.
00:56:31 If she is, she hasn't got her gun.
00:57:53 You got a match, bud?
00:57:58 What will it be, kid?
00:58:00 What do you want?
00:58:05 Sit in that car,
00:58:13 As soon as this police car goes by,
00:58:18 By the way, Carol,
00:58:20 Brody didn't kill Geiger.
00:58:24 All right, let's go.
00:58:48 - You got a key. Let's go in.
00:58:56 All right, come on!
00:58:58 Maybe you need this.
01:00:09 - Hello.
01:00:11 Is this who I think it is?
01:00:12 It's Marlowe.
01:00:15 I haven't got any.
01:00:17 Who has?
01:00:18 I got some cold meat set out,
01:00:22 What are you talking about?
01:00:23 You boys find a gun on Owen Taylor...
01:00:25 ...when they fished him out of
01:00:27 That's police business.
01:00:29 I know it's police business.
01:00:31 But if they did,
01:00:34 You come up to
01:00:37 ...off Laurel Canyon Road, and
01:00:39 - I'll be right out.
01:00:42 What did you hide Geiger's body for?
01:00:45 Do you admit shooting Brody?
01:00:47 Take a jump, Jack.
01:00:48 He doesn't have to admit it.
01:01:17 I'm late. I'm sorry.
01:01:19 How are you today?
01:01:20 Better than last night.
01:01:21 I can agree on that.
01:01:23 - Hello, Max.
01:01:25 - Got a table for us?
01:01:32 I'll have a scotch, mixed.
01:01:34 A scotch and plain water.
01:01:39 How'd you happen to
01:01:41 Maybe I wanted to hold your hand.
01:01:43 That can be arranged.
01:01:47 Why'd you want to see me?
01:01:49 My father was very pleased when
01:01:53 We were lucky. I managed to keep
01:01:57 He hopes you didn't
01:02:01 You tell him it was
01:02:03 No. He asked me to give you a check.
01:02:05 I don't need any money yet.
01:02:07 He considers the case closed.
01:02:11 It is, isn't it?
01:02:12 As far as Geiger is concerned, yes.
01:02:16 Then it's completely closed.
01:02:18 I hope this is satisfactory.
01:02:21 Five hundred!
01:02:22 It's a lot more than I expected,
01:02:26 We're very grateful to you,
01:02:28 ...I'm very glad it's all over.
01:02:31 Tell me, what do you do
01:02:37 Play the horses, fool around.
01:02:39 No women?
01:02:40 I'm generally working on
01:02:43 Could that be stretched to include me?
01:02:45 I like you.
01:02:47 I liked hearing you say it.
01:02:50 But you didn't do much about it.
01:02:51 Neither did you.
01:02:55 Speaking of horses, I like to
01:02:59 But I like to see them work out
01:03:01 See if they're front-runners
01:03:04 Find out what their whole card is.
01:03:07 What makes them run.
01:03:09 Find out mine?
01:03:10 I think so.
01:03:11 Go ahead.
01:03:13 I'd say you don't like to be rated.
01:03:15 You like to get out in front...
01:03:17 ...open up a lead...
01:03:19 ...take a little breather in
01:03:22 ...and then come home free.
01:03:24 You don't like to be rated yourself.
01:03:27 I haven't met anyone yet
01:03:29 Any suggestions?
01:03:31 I can't tell till I've seen you
01:03:36 You got a touch of class,
01:03:41 A lot depends on who's in the saddle.
01:03:43 Go ahead, Marlowe,
01:03:47 In case you don't know it,
01:03:49 There's one thing I can't figure out.
01:03:51 What makes me run?
01:03:53 I'll give you a little hint.
01:03:57 What did you try it on me for?
01:03:59 Who told you to sugar me off this case?
01:04:02 Was it Eddie Mars?
01:04:05 All right, don't answer me.
01:04:07 But your father didn't tell you
01:04:11 No. He's not well.
01:04:14 Are you sure?
01:04:15 I know it hasn't worked so
01:04:17 What's Eddie Mars got to do
01:04:20 Nothing. He runs a gambling house.
01:04:23 You're playing something else too.
01:04:27 Did you know Shawn Regan was
01:04:32 Who doesn't?
01:04:33 Did you know he owned the house
01:04:37 - I don't believe...
01:04:41 What's Eddie Mars got on you?
01:04:45 Come now, angel. Stop shaking.
01:04:48 I don't want to hurt you,
01:04:52 You better run along.
01:04:54 But you made a deal and you're going to
01:04:57 We'll take up the question of
01:05:00 - The only trouble is, we could've...
01:05:02 The only trouble is, we could
01:05:05 ...if you weren't a detective.
01:05:08 We still can.
01:05:09 So long, Marlowe.
01:05:18 - Waiter?
01:05:19 - Have you got a phone?
01:05:28 Deposit 55 cents, sir.
01:05:30 - How much is that?
01:05:41 Here's your party, sir.
01:05:43 Hello? Hello!
01:05:45 May I speak with Mr. Mars,
01:05:47 This is Mars.
01:05:48 I didn't recognize your voice.
01:05:51 I want to see you.
01:05:52 Sure. When?
01:05:54 I'd like to drive up this evening.
01:05:56 Come ahead.
01:06:15 Mr. Mars around? I'm Marlowe.
01:06:18 Wait here and I'll find out.
01:06:25 He would spend it on the ponies
01:06:30 He would spend it on the girls
01:06:34 Buy his mother lovely roses
01:06:38 For her dear old hennaed curls
01:06:43 But when his wife said "Sweetie...
01:06:47 ... what did you get for me?"
01:06:53 He socked her in the choppers
01:06:58 Such a sweet, sweet guy was he
01:07:01 And her tears flowed like wine
01:07:09 She's a real sad tomato
01:07:12 She's a busted valentine
01:07:16 Knows her mama done told her
01:07:20 That a man is darned unkind
01:07:23 I'm a telling you, mister
01:07:27 She was a sob, sob sister
01:07:31 Lying on a pillow
01:07:32 Weeping like a willow
01:07:34 My, oh my,
01:07:39 And her tears flowed like wine
01:07:43 Yes, her tears flowed like wine
01:07:49 Hello, boys.
01:07:50 Stop it!
01:07:57 Thanks.
01:08:01 - Hello, Eddie.
01:08:04 You never been here before?
01:08:05 My first time.
01:08:07 ...if you hadn't told me I could
01:08:11 Drink?
01:08:17 I like the way you've
01:08:20 It made me sore at first, but I see now
01:08:23 You and I could get along.
01:08:26 I like to pay my bills as I go.
01:08:29 - How much do I owe you?
01:08:32 Still careful, huh?
01:08:34 All right, then.
01:08:37 ...about Shawn Regan.
01:08:43 You got that already from
01:08:46 - You get around.
01:08:47 - Where is he?
01:08:49 You didn't bump him off, did you?
01:08:51 No. You think I did?
01:08:53 - That's what I came here to ask you.
01:08:55 All right, I'm kidding.
01:08:59 You didn't do it and your boys
01:09:01 I used to know Regan.
01:09:04 I thought you told me you weren't
01:09:06 I wasn't then.
01:09:09 I finally got it through my skull
01:09:12 ...Regan might be mixed up
01:09:14 Sternwood can turn over now
01:09:17 It was Geiger's own racket.
01:09:21 When Geiger and Brody got gunned,
01:09:24 - That, I'm sure of.
01:09:29 The general thinks like you do.
01:09:32 I'm sorry to hear that.
01:09:34 I wish he'd hire you to keep
01:09:37 - She's out there now.
01:09:39 She's not very popular here.
01:09:40 When she loses, she doubles and
01:09:44 - Lf she wins, she takes my money home.
01:09:47 - She spends it somewhere else.
01:09:50 I'd keep her out of here then.
01:09:53 - I took the trip for nothing.
01:09:56 You mind if I look the place over
01:09:58 Go ahead. Take that door,
01:10:01 No, thanks. I'll go out
01:10:03 Maybe someday I can do you
01:10:05 Maybe.
01:10:06 There's one thing that puzzles me.
01:10:08 You don't seem in a hurry
01:10:11 I hear she's not the kind of wife
01:10:15 Could it be you know where she is,
01:10:18 Stop being curious. What's between
01:10:23 Sorry.
01:10:25 Oh, Eddie, you don't have
01:10:28 Tailing me in a gray Plymouth coupe?
01:10:30 No. Why should I?
01:10:31 I can't imagine, unless you're
01:10:35 I don't like you that well.
01:10:38 So long, Eddie.
01:10:46 - Mr. Marlowe?
01:10:48 - Mrs. Rut...
01:10:51 You better take it.
01:10:53 Mrs. Rutledge asked if you'd
01:10:55 She's at the center table.
01:10:57 Thank you both.
01:11:01 Mr. Marlowe? Mrs. Rutle...
01:11:02 Mrs. Rutledge wants to see me.
01:11:05 - How did you know?
01:11:07 She sure is picking them tonight.
01:11:10 - I didn't hear him tell you anything.
01:11:21 What kind of game is this?
01:11:24 I want another play.
01:11:26 I'm sorry. You have
01:11:28 ...and the table cannot cover your bet!
01:11:29 It's your money.
01:11:31 I sent for Mr. Mars.
01:11:32 - Look, lady, you know...
01:11:34 - Hello, Marlowe.
01:11:38 The lady.
01:11:40 Something the matter,
01:11:41 I'd like one more play.
01:11:43 All this on the red.
01:11:45 Cover her bet in even thousands.
01:11:47 If no one objects to this turn of
01:11:50 Wish me luck, Marlowe.
01:11:52 You wanted to see me.
01:11:54 The people I came with want to stay...
01:11:57 ...so I thought maybe you'd
01:12:00 - Sure.
01:12:02 - Yeah, I'm ready.
01:12:20 Number five, red!
01:12:26 You did all right.
01:12:28 I'll get my car while you collect...
01:12:29 ...and meet you outside.
01:13:42 Good night.
01:14:03 This is a gun, lady.
01:14:06 Yell, and I'll cut you in half!
01:14:07 Give me that bag!
01:14:11 Hello, pal! Easy!
01:14:14 Somebody's always giving me guns.
01:14:17 You can turn around now.
01:14:19 I don't like people who play games.
01:14:25 ...when you wake up.
01:14:30 I'm glad I asked you to take me home.
01:14:32 So am I.
01:14:34 Shall we go now?
01:14:43 Why are you trembling? Don't tell me
01:14:46 I'm not used to being hijacked.
01:14:49 Hijacked? Is that what it was?
01:14:51 What else?
01:15:05 You're still shaking.
01:15:08 You weren't worried about me?
01:15:11 When did you begin to
01:15:17 Why are we stopping?
01:15:18 To settle something.
01:15:21 All right...
01:15:23 ...let's begin with what
01:15:26 If he had anything, would it be
01:15:28 You've already been paid, haven't you?
01:15:30 Yeah, by you.
01:15:31 - Are you after more money?
01:15:34 No, I've already been well-paid.
01:15:39 You like my father, don't you?
01:15:42 Why don't you stop?
01:15:43 Remember I said I was beginning
01:15:46 - I wish you'd show it.
01:15:59 I liked that.
01:16:01 I'd like more.
01:16:09 That's even better.
01:16:12 All right.
01:16:14 Now that's settled.
01:16:19 - So that's the way it is.
01:16:20 I kissing you is all right.
01:16:24 But first I want to find out
01:16:26 - Lf you say that again...
01:16:29 I told Eddie Mars
01:16:31 When I arrived, you were there.
01:16:33 You two staged an act.
01:16:36 ...and then sent a man
01:16:38 ...to prove there was
01:16:41 You're shaking again.
01:16:42 Take me home.
01:16:44 Sure I will.
01:16:45 But first, open that bag.
01:16:47 If there's 28 grand in it,
01:16:50 Open it and make a sap out of me
01:16:54 Take me home.
01:16:56 All right, but that's as far
01:16:58 From now on, you can
01:17:18 What does the hat check girl
01:17:21 I'm trying to think of something
01:17:24 Bet you can't guess.
01:17:26 I'll bet I can.
01:17:27 You came in through the keyhole,
01:17:29 Who's he?
01:17:31 A guy I used to know
01:17:33 You're cute.
01:17:34 I'm getting cuter every minute.
01:17:37 I showed the manager your card.
01:17:40 I told him you said
01:17:42 I want...
01:17:44 See, I remembered.
01:17:46 What do you remember about Shawn Regan?
01:17:48 - I didn't like him.
01:17:50 He didn't pay any more attention
01:17:52 Treated me like a baby all the time.
01:17:55 How's Eddie Mars treat you?
01:17:56 I don't know him.
01:17:58 You sure?
01:18:00 He's always calling Vivian up.
01:18:05 I think you're telling the
01:18:08 Is he as cute as you are?
01:18:10 Nobody is.
01:18:11 I've had a long day.
01:18:14 - Come on, Carmen.
01:18:23 - You can't...
01:18:36 Hello, Phil?
01:18:37 Hello, Bernie. What's up?
01:18:39 I want to see you down here,
01:18:41 I just woke up.
01:18:43 It's 2:00.
01:18:45 If you're not here in 30 minutes
01:18:48 I'd rather buy my own.
01:18:52 All right, I'll be there.
01:19:03 Don't you know better than to wake
01:19:06 - What's up?
01:19:08 You're to lay off the Sternwood case.
01:19:10 - Who says so?
01:19:12 The DA, huh?
01:19:16 He must have changed his mind.
01:19:19 Who changed it for him?
01:19:21 - General Sternwood.
01:19:24 All right. Between you and me,
01:19:27 He talked to the daughter,
01:19:31 - Any reason given?
01:19:33 There's no law says a man can't
01:19:37 You know, just to keep his hand in.
01:19:38 I'm just supposed to
01:19:41 I know, you just work here.
01:19:43 Put yourself in my shoes
01:19:46 A nice old guy has two daughters.
01:19:49 The other is not so wonderful.
01:19:51 As a result, somebody gets
01:19:53 The father hires me to pay off...
01:19:54 ...but before I can,
01:19:56 But that didn't stop things.
01:19:58 It just starts them.
01:20:00 And two murders later, I find out
01:20:03 Who's somebody?
01:20:05 - I think it's Eddie Mars.
01:20:07 For one thing, he owns the house
01:20:10 He did. The day after the murder,
01:20:14 What have you got that hooks
01:20:17 Last night, the two of them...
01:20:19 ...I don't want to bore you
01:20:21 ...but they went to the moon to prove
01:20:24 I think there is, and it's got
01:20:27 Who's missing and supposed to have
01:20:31 What does the general
01:20:33 I don't know.
01:20:37 You still want me to lay off?
01:20:39 The DA does, but you do all
01:20:44 Thanks, Bernie.
01:20:46 I'm going out to get breakfast.
01:20:48 I can't afford to be seen with you.
01:20:52 So long, Bernie.
01:21:22 Sternwood residence.
01:21:23 Hello, Norris? This is Marlowe.
01:21:26 Yes, Mr. Marlowe. L...
01:21:27 I'd like to come out
01:21:30 I don't think it
01:21:32 - Why not?
01:21:35 Mrs. Rutledge is very anxious
01:21:38 If you'll wait just a minute,
01:21:42 Hey, sugar, you got a match?
01:21:44 Sure thing.
01:21:47 Hello, Marlowe?
01:21:50 Thanks.
01:21:54 Hello, Mrs. Rutledge.
01:21:56 I wanted to tell you
01:21:59 ... and call off your bloodhounds.
01:22:02 What's that?
01:22:03 Yes. He's been in Mexico.
01:22:05 He hasn't been very well.
01:22:07 What happened?
01:22:08 An accident of some kind.
01:22:11 I'm leaving at once to meet him.
01:22:13 I see.
01:22:14 I suppose the general's quite pleased.
01:22:17 We haven't told him yet.
01:22:20 Thanks for telling me.
01:22:22 Have a nice trip.
01:22:24 I will. Goodbye.
01:22:26 Goodbye.
01:23:01 Say, mister...
01:23:03 ...would you please...
01:23:17 This is just our way
01:23:53 You the guy that's been tailing me?
01:23:55 Yeah. My name's Jones.
01:23:58 I want to see you.
01:23:59 Swell!
01:24:02 Did you want to see those guys jump me?
01:24:04 I didn't care one way or the other.
01:24:08 You could've yelled for help.
01:24:09 A guy's playing a hand, I let him
01:24:14 You got brains.
01:24:17 Get my hat, will you?
01:24:20 Help me up to my office.
01:24:40 That working over they gave you
01:24:43 And I've been around too.
01:24:45 Used to run a little liquor.
01:24:47 Rode the scout car
01:24:50 - Tough racket.
01:24:52 Sit down. You make me nervous.
01:24:54 Maybe you don't believe me.
01:24:56 What do you want?
01:24:58 That's better.
01:24:59 I've got something to sell, cheap.
01:25:01 For a couple of C's.
01:25:02 Don't let me stop you.
01:25:04 - Don't you want to even know who I am?
01:25:07 You're not a cop.
01:25:09 You don't belong to Eddie Mars,
01:25:11 So you must be one of Brody's friends.
01:25:14 So Agnes is loose again, huh?
01:25:16 How'd you know that?
01:25:18 She's a nice girl.
01:25:21 She's too big for you.
01:25:23 That's a dirty crack, brother.
01:25:25 I suppose you're right.
01:25:30 Maybe I've been running around
01:25:33 Cut the babble.
01:25:35 If you're looking for something,
01:25:37 - Lf it does what?
01:25:40 This is getting funny.
01:25:42 I'm supposed to pay you two C's for
01:25:45 People have been
01:25:47 I don't even pass out cigars anymore.
01:25:49 Do you want to know what I've got,
01:25:51 I don't know.
01:25:53 200 buys a lot of
01:25:56 Would you pay it to know
01:25:59 Would you pay $ 200 for that, shamus?
01:26:02 I think I might.
01:26:03 - Where?
01:26:05 She'll tell you, when she has
01:26:09 You might tell the cops for nothing.
01:26:11 I ain't so brittle.
01:26:13 Agnes must have something
01:26:15 I ain't tried to pull anything.
01:26:17 I came here with a straight
01:26:20 One right guy to another.
01:26:22 You start waving cops at me.
01:26:26 I am.
01:26:27 200 it is.
01:26:29 - Have you got the money?
01:26:31 You know Puss Walgreen's office?
01:26:34 428 in the back?
01:26:35 No, but I can find it.
01:26:37 Will you be in shape to meet
01:26:39 - I guess so.
01:26:41 I'll take you to Agnes.
01:27:27 Who are you?
01:27:34 I wanted to see you.
01:27:39 Who are you?
01:27:40 I work for Eddie Mars.
01:27:43 Canino?
01:27:46 - Sure!
01:27:50 What do you want?
01:27:51 Why have you been following
01:27:53 - Who says I've been?
01:27:54 That was a mistake, your mistake.
01:27:58 Sit down and quit stalling!
01:28:02 All right, there's no harm telling.
01:28:06 She's got to get out of town,
01:28:08 She figured she could
01:28:10 Why would he pay?
01:28:11 You know about the night
01:28:14 The young Sternwood girl was there.
01:28:16 Only Marlowe didn't tell the cops that.
01:28:19 Agnes figured it was railroad fare
01:28:22 - You get it?
01:28:24 - Where's this Agnes?
01:28:26 What do you want with her?
01:28:28 What's the matter, Jones?
01:28:30 Ain't you ever seen a gun before?
01:28:33 You want me to count to three,
01:28:35 Where's Agnes?
01:28:39 You win.
01:28:40 She's in an apartment...
01:28:42 ...at 28 Court Street.
01:28:45 Apartment 301.
01:28:48 I guess I'm yellow, all right.
01:28:50 You just got good sense.
01:28:52 I ain't going to hurt her.
01:28:56 You're nervous, ain't you?
01:28:58 - I think maybe you need a drink.
01:29:00 You got a glass?
01:29:04 At the water cooler.
01:29:21 There you are, pal.
01:29:25 Well, drink it!
01:29:26 What do you think it is, poison?
01:29:28 I bet that Agnes of yours
01:29:32 No, I'll bet she wouldn't.
01:29:41 What's funny?
01:29:44 Nothing's funny.
01:29:47 So long, Jonesy.
01:30:23 Information, give me the phone number
01:30:28 Thank you. One moment, please.
01:30:31 Courtview Apartments.
01:30:32 Office, this is Police Identification
01:30:35 You got a girl living there
01:30:38 Nobody by that name here.
01:30:40 Have you got a brunette with
01:30:43 ...either alone or with a little guy,
01:30:47 ...wears a gray hat and gray suit?
01:30:49 Sorry. Nothing like that.
01:30:53 Somebody just gave out
01:30:56 Thanks.
01:31:17 You did all right, Jonesy.
01:31:19 But you left me high and dry.
01:31:36 Who is this?
01:31:37 - What did you say?
01:31:40 Hello, Agnes. This is Marlowe.
01:31:43 Marlowe, the man you want to see.
01:31:45 Is Harry there?
01:31:47 Yeah, he's here.
01:31:48 - Put him on, will you?
01:31:51 - Why?
01:31:54 Your little man died to keep
01:31:58 I got your money for you.
01:32:00 - Yeah, I want it.
01:32:02 Where can I meet you?
01:32:04 Rampart and Oakwood.
01:32:05 I'll be there in half an hour.
01:32:26 What happened to Harry?
01:32:28 There's no use going into that.
01:32:31 Just put it down your little man
01:32:34 Here you are. Here's your 200.
01:32:38 Joe and I were riding on Foothill
01:32:41 We passed a brown coupe and I saw
01:32:44 She was Eddie Mars' wife.
01:32:46 - There was a fellow with her. Canino.
01:32:48 Some people you don't forget,
01:32:52 We got curious and Joe tailed them.
01:32:55 About 10 miles east,
01:32:58 Off the highway, there's
01:33:00 ...run by a guy named Art Huck.
01:33:02 Hot-car drop, likely.
01:33:05 That's where Eddie Mars' wife
01:33:07 - You sure of that?
01:33:09 Art Huck's, 10 miles east of Realito.
01:33:12 So long, copper. Wish me luck.
01:33:15 Hey, your kind always does.
01:35:01 What do you want?
01:35:02 Open up. I got a flat
01:35:05 Sorry, mister.
01:35:07 Better try Realito.
01:35:20 All right.
01:35:22 Come on in.
01:35:26 You'd scare off
01:35:28 You can get yourself hurt,
01:35:31 Cut it out, Art.
01:35:32 The guy's right.
01:35:33 You run a garage, don't you?
01:35:35 Go ahead. Give him a hand.
01:35:39 Thanks, mister.
01:35:41 I suppose you can fix flats?
01:35:43 Good as you can make them, but
01:35:47 It's too damp for a
01:35:49 You got time to fix his tires.
01:35:51 - But I don't...
01:35:53 Sure.
01:35:54 Here's the key to the back.
01:35:56 Put the spare on.
01:36:04 Yeah, I took a skid up at the corner.
01:36:06 A front tire went.
01:36:10 You live around here?
01:36:13 Just drove in from Reno
01:36:15 Came the long way around, huh?
01:36:19 Partly.
01:36:21 Having your car painted?
01:36:23 Just a spray job.
01:36:25 Art's pretty slow.
01:36:29 All right, Art.
01:36:31 Take him in the house.
01:37:03 You'd be Mrs. Eddie Mars...
01:37:05 ...the blonde Regan was
01:37:08 That's right.
01:37:11 Where is Shawn Regan?
01:37:13 I'd like to know that myself.
01:37:18 Hello, angel!
01:37:19 I thought I'd find you here.
01:37:23 But you don't seem to be
01:37:29 Remove that light, will you,
01:37:39 I suppose we're in the house,
01:37:41 That's right.
01:37:44 The boys don't take
01:37:48 Where are they,
01:37:49 You had to go on with this,
01:37:51 - Where are they?
01:37:54 To call up Eddie Mars, huh?
01:37:58 I could've told them that.
01:37:59 Why did you have to go on?
01:38:01 Too many people told me to stop.
01:38:03 Light me a cigarette,
01:38:06 Why did you have to make trouble?
01:38:08 Eddie never did you any harm.
01:38:10 Besides, I was never in love with
01:38:14 If I hadn't hidden here
01:38:16 ...the police would've been
01:38:18 Maybe he did kill him.
01:38:20 Eddie's not that kind.
01:38:22 You mean, Eddie Mars
01:38:25 - You really believe that, don't you?
01:38:30 How do you suppose
01:38:32 How did you?
01:38:33 A little man named
01:38:35 A funny little guy, harmless.
01:38:38 He sold me the information
01:38:41 ...I was working for General Sternwood.
01:38:43 How he found out's a long story.
01:38:46 Anyway, Canino, your husband's
01:38:49 ...while I stood around like a sap.
01:38:51 I was in the next room.
01:38:55 - But Eddie Mars didn't do that.
01:38:57 Eddie Mars never kills anybody.
01:39:00 You think he's just a gambler,
01:39:02 I think he's a blackmailer,
01:39:05 - Stop talking!
01:39:08 Anything with money pinned to it!
01:39:12 Ask him when you see him.
01:39:16 Well, that got rid of her.
01:39:18 She's okay. I like her.
01:39:20 You like too many people.
01:39:22 Never mind, angel.
01:39:25 I wonder if you'd do
01:39:29 I was wondering that myself.
01:39:31 There's nothing to do but
01:39:34 He doesn't know
01:39:37 You know what he'll do
01:39:39 He'll beat my teeth out and then
01:39:43 That's just a start.
01:39:45 Please don't talk like that!
01:39:46 You should have gone to Mexico...
01:39:47 Stop! Please!
01:39:48 Then, you couldn't have gone,
01:39:50 The border patrol would've
01:39:53 Too many people would've
01:39:55 It was much safer to come here with her,
01:40:00 Will you get out of this
01:40:04 Take this thing out of
01:40:22 That's better.
01:40:24 Get a knife and cut these ropes.
01:40:39 Watch your fingers.
01:40:46 Don't cut toward your hand.
01:40:52 Who's got a key to these handcuffs?
01:40:53 Canino.
01:40:54 I don't suppose there's a gun
01:40:56 None that I know of.
01:41:08 The boys made a fast trip.
01:41:11 What can you do?
01:41:14 Look, angel. I'm going to
01:41:17 That's all right with me.
01:41:18 - How do I get out of here?
01:41:21 All right, as soon as I've gone,
01:41:23 ...and then scream your head off.
01:41:26 All right. Start counting.
01:41:59 Get going, Art.
01:43:22 There! Behind the wheel!
01:43:26 Over here, Canino!
01:43:47 That looks like the key.
01:43:53 We'll have to take his car.
01:44:08 How far is it from back there
01:44:11 About eight or 10 miles to Realito.
01:44:13 When Mars' wife gets my car fixed,
01:44:16 ...there'll be plenty of trouble.
01:44:18 You'll be in it
01:44:20 I don't mind,
01:44:25 I didn't have a chance to thank you
01:44:27 You looked good, awful good!
01:44:30 I didn't know they made them
01:44:33 I guess I'm in love with you.
01:44:37 Will you go to the police with me?
01:44:40 I can't.
01:44:41 Why not?
01:44:43 What if I told you
01:44:46 Would you tell the police that?
01:44:49 I will if you take me there.
01:44:53 I'm not going to.
01:44:55 Look, angel, I'm tired.
01:44:57 My jaw hurts, my ribs ache,
01:45:00 ...and stood by while a
01:45:03 I can't say all that happened...
01:45:04 ...because Geiger tried to throw
01:45:07 They'll swarm over your house...
01:45:08 ...so fast that every closet
01:45:11 ...for the last six years
01:45:15 They'll all ask the same question:
01:45:16 "Where's Shawn Regan?
01:45:18 Why did Mars hide his wife out to make
01:45:21 Why did you hide out there?
01:45:25 Don't ask any more questions.
01:45:27 I won't even ask you
01:45:30 I'll ask Eddie Mars
01:45:32 Why are you doing that?
01:45:34 I guess I'm in love with you.
01:46:20 Hello. Let me talk to Mr. Mars.
01:46:23 Hello, Eddie.
01:46:26 Yeah, Marlowe,
01:46:28 That Canino's a pretty good boy.
01:46:30 You'll have trouble getting
01:46:34 What's the matter, Eddie?
01:46:37 I'm in Realito, the same
01:46:39 Only now, it's me that's calling.
01:46:41 I want to see you.
01:46:44 Why don't you go to the police?
01:46:48 Do you want to see me
01:46:51 All right. Where?
01:46:54 Las Olindas is too far.
01:46:58 Your house?
01:47:00 You mean the one that Geiger lived in?
01:47:03 All right. When?
01:47:06 How long will it take me
01:47:10 I'll be there just as quick as I can.
01:47:14 - That worked.
01:47:16 He'll be here in 10 minutes.
01:47:20 Go through there, and make sure that
01:47:22 ...and then close all these curtains.
01:47:37 You're the one who's shaking now.
01:47:40 I'm scared, angel.
01:47:42 I'm sore too.
01:47:44 Mars has been ahead of me
01:47:48 If I don't get the jump on him
01:48:04 There they are.
01:48:09 Watch the back.
01:48:11 If you see anybody coming,
01:48:27 - What is it?
01:49:19 I got here first, Eddie.
01:49:22 Put them down!
01:49:27 Turn around.
01:49:36 Over there.
01:49:47 Sit down.
01:49:51 There's two men out in back,
01:49:53 - Watch them.
01:49:56 - You double-crossing...
01:50:02 And leave her out of it.
01:50:04 She kept her deal with you.
01:50:07 ...except that she killed Regan.
01:50:10 Regan's dead, all right,
01:50:12 It was Carmen, wasn't it?
01:50:14 How'd it happen?
01:50:15 - She didn't tell...?
01:50:17 - Carmen liked Regan.
01:50:20 And he said no to Carmen.
01:50:22 She gets mad when anybody says that.
01:50:26 She was high. By the time it was over,
01:50:29 I've seen her that way too.
01:50:31 - Then you hid the body.
01:50:33 It'll be just as bad for you
01:50:36 Then you started to blackmail
01:50:38 ...by telling her what Carmen had done.
01:50:40 How did you prove to her
01:50:43 Prove it to me.
01:50:44 You've seen Carmen when she's that way.
01:50:46 Sure I have. Have you?
01:50:48 Why didn't you know her
01:50:51 You're pretty smart,
01:50:56 What are you going to do?
01:50:57 I said you were smart.
01:50:59 You were going to agree to everything,
01:51:02 When I went out,
01:51:04 That's what those boys
01:51:07 But everything's changed now,
01:51:10 Angel, get on the floor!
01:51:11 Don't get excited, Marlowe.
01:51:13 If anything happens,
01:51:16 What do you think will happen now?
01:51:19 What will they do to
01:51:22 Who's it going to be, you or me?
01:51:24 - Look, Marlowe...
01:51:26 Haven't you ever seen a gun before?
01:51:28 You want me to count to three,
01:51:30 That's what Canino said
01:51:32 - Don't go crazy!
01:51:34 - That's one, Eddie!
01:51:37 That's two, Eddie!
01:51:40 Don't shoot, it's me! Mars!
01:52:25 Bernie? This is Marlowe.
01:52:29 I've got some more red points for you.
01:52:31 - Who is it this time?
01:52:34 His boys got him.
01:52:35 There's more to it than that.
01:52:38 I'll tell you about it when I see you.
01:52:39 Where are you?
01:52:41 The same place, Laverne Terrace.
01:52:44 And watch yourself.
01:52:47 Right away.
01:52:57 It won't take him long.
01:52:58 Wait, let me do the talking.
01:53:01 I don't know what I'll tell him,
01:53:06 You'll have to send Carmen away...
01:53:08 ...from a lot of things.
01:53:10 They have places for that.
01:53:12 Maybe they can cure her.
01:53:16 We'll have to tell your father
01:53:20 You've forgotten one thing.
01:53:23 Me.
01:53:28 What's wrong with you?
01:53:30 Nothing you can't fix.
