00:00:58 Get your Sunday morning paper!
00:01:06 Get your Sunday morning paper!
00:01:12 Get your Sunday morning paper here!
00:01:17 Paper! Morning paper!
00:01:55 Well, goodbye, Father.
00:01:57 - It's wonderful having you back.
00:02:01 - It'll be tame after where you've been.
00:02:06 Good night.
00:02:11 Father. Over here, sir.
00:02:15 Yes?
00:02:18 I've got to talk to you.
00:02:22 I gotta tell somebody,
00:02:26 - Happens to you?
00:02:28 - Sorry it's in church...
00:02:32 No. You're Father Logan, aren't you?
00:02:34 The Jumping Padre,
00:02:38 You don't know me. I've heard of you.
00:02:43 All the more reason to listen.
00:02:46 If you'll just hear me out.
00:02:50 What's the trouble? I'll not only
00:02:54 No, you can't. Not in this.
00:02:56 The cops are after me. Not that
00:03:02 ...but a couple of tough customers
00:03:06 Grab me as soon as I show
00:03:09 I want somebody
00:03:12 ...for a friend's sake,
00:03:15 What is his name?
00:03:17 Johnny, a pal of mine.
00:03:21 It's like this, sir. A few days ago
00:03:26 ...home from France
00:03:29 Neither of us knew why the Army
00:03:33 We'd been under treatment for my
00:03:38 You see, only high-priority cargo
00:03:43 Why we rated it,
00:03:47 At La Guardia,
00:03:50 ... with a lieutenant colonel from
00:03:55 He was in a sweat because we were
00:04:00 ... and Washington, D. C. Was fogged in.
00:04:03 He hoped they'd hold
00:04:07 All the way to Penn station
00:04:11 ... but he'd only grin. They'd
00:04:16 Somebody sure enough wanted us
00:04:22 By the time we rolled into Philly,
00:04:25 Houses with roofs on them,
00:04:26 Houses with roofs on them,
00:04:30 I can't believe it!
00:04:32 When you get on as a professor,
00:04:36 ...send me up a problem
00:04:40 - Blond or brunette?
00:04:44 You're a great guy too, if that's what
00:04:49 - Listen, soldier...
00:04:54 - Careful you don't swallow that pin.
00:04:59 You're dreaming
00:05:02 I was remembering her low voice
00:05:06 And how you taught her English.
00:05:09 My life is simpler. I was thinking
00:05:13 - You don't even know her.
00:05:16 - Besides, she looked sad.
00:05:22 Why don't you get rid of the grief you
00:05:27 Every mile we go, you sweat worse
00:05:30 All females are the same
00:05:34 Say, we're dynamite!
00:05:37 Priority 1 -A!
00:05:40 - Where did you get that?
00:05:43 You'll have us up
00:05:47 - At ease, sergeant.
00:05:51 What's wrong with reconnaissance?
00:05:55 - Give me those!
00:05:57 - Sgt. Drake, isn't that my blouse?
00:06:02 And where did you get those papers?
00:06:05 Come on, speak up.
00:06:07 The papers fell down, your blouse
00:06:12 - What's the matter with your mouth?
00:06:18 Six-two and even, he swallows it,
00:06:28 I peeked at your papers,
00:06:31 You went through my papers?
00:06:34 The war's over. Where are we going
00:06:38 Thank you. I should have known better
00:06:44 ...who have operated the way
00:06:48 I wanted Gen. Steele to see
00:06:52 Cold Steele?
00:06:53 It's his doing that
00:06:56 - Johnny's congressional?
00:06:59 There were certain errors
00:07:03 Don't tell me the guys
00:07:06 Those guys decided to award
00:07:11 ...and the Distinguished Service Cross
00:07:16 How's that?
00:07:17 The congressional. Won't you
00:07:21 Maybe he'll even let you
00:07:26 - With the newsreels grinding.
00:07:30 What's the gripe?
00:07:33 You shouldn't have done it!
00:07:35 Sometimes you go soft-headed.
00:07:39 - What's the gimmick?
00:07:41 - I'll bet she talks beautifully now.
00:07:45 You look like the first time you
00:07:51 Yeah, we had some, didn't we?
00:07:56 Quit living inside there.
00:07:59 I can tell you.
00:08:02 Is that all you don't want?
00:08:06 - Captain Murdock?
00:08:08 Camera boys would like
00:08:11 Could you come out?
00:08:15 - The city of brotherly love?
00:08:19 I'm all for love, son.
00:08:22 Come on, hero.
00:08:24 And that's an order.
00:08:29 Washington hasn't released a story.
00:08:29 Washington hasn't released a story.
00:08:32 Drake's the story. I'm not.
00:08:39 Sergeant Drake!
00:08:46 Johnny!
00:08:57 I didn't like that salute.
00:09:01 I got it alright why Johnny
00:09:04 He'd faked a birth certificate
00:09:09 The Yale pin said so.
00:09:17 Sorry, gorgeous. I'd let you have it,
00:09:22 Yale University.
00:09:25 Hello, Yale?
00:09:28 What college? Yale, of course.
00:09:31 Okay, so it's a university.
00:09:35 Yeah, one of my men found a pin
00:09:40 I want his address so I can
00:09:51 General, if you won't authorize me
00:09:54 ...l'm afraid I'll have to go anyway.
00:09:57 Yes, sir.
00:10:01 But we don't want
00:10:05 I regret to say, sir, yes.
00:10:12 The last address Yale had for Preston
00:10:18 Welcome to Gulf City, Mr. Murdock.
00:10:21 Murdock...
00:10:24 Nobody knew I was coming.
00:10:26 - Warren Murdock, and from St. Louis.
00:10:32 It's our best. The gentleman
00:10:35 - Then it's for me, all right.
00:10:44 Geronimo, the paratroopers'jump call.
00:10:49 We could read each other's minds.
00:10:52 He knew I'd want to help. He'd seen
00:11:02 Will call later, the message said.
00:11:05 That was 10 hours ago.
00:11:08 What to do in a hot wind, smelling
00:11:13 ... and prime the body to sweat more?
00:11:18 I'd never heard of Johnny
00:11:21 ... but I was ready to try anything.
00:11:25 "Prendergast, Prescott, Prestwood."
00:11:28 Stalled again, like a jeep
00:11:34 48 hours since he'd called
00:11:37 I'd pitched the Cardinals
00:11:41 ... and set the Red Sox down
00:11:44 Suddenly, Johnny's service record
00:11:50 He'd enlisted October 11, 1943.
00:11:53 Whatever jam he'd got in
00:11:57 It might have made the papers.
00:12:08 There it was, Father.
00:12:11 Only five weeks before Johnny enlisted
00:12:39 The rest was what you'd expect.
00:12:44 Search for Johnny goes limp.
00:12:47 Story dribbling off
00:12:52 The newspaper gave me answers...
00:12:54 ... but there were three things
00:12:58 How could Johnny be a murderer?
00:13:00 Why come back here where he was
00:13:05 Why not another word
00:13:12 Listen, honey.
00:13:13 Haven't you got any
00:13:17 All I get is commercials
00:13:23 Not until 12:00?
00:13:41 I thought I'd turned the juice off.
00:13:44 But I'd flipped it
00:13:47 Car 42 reporting in.
00:13:51 Broken railing on Tarpon Springs
00:13:56 A burned sedan.
00:14:00 Been there two days.
00:14:03 - Car 42 reporting. Got it?
00:14:08 Two days ago. That'd be the night
00:14:13 I was getting desperate,
00:14:17 There was one place in town
00:14:33 Evening.
00:14:35 - Could I take a look in your icebox?
00:14:38 Missing Persons
00:14:41 - Who's missing?
00:14:44 - Homicide Squad.
00:14:47 - I thought you was a morgue buff.
00:14:50 A nut like those guys
00:14:53 I didn't know Homicide men
00:14:56 - Where you from?
00:14:59 - Frisco.
00:15:01 The accent. I can spot any accent.
00:15:05 Charlie Wilson. Met him on the train.
00:15:11 He didn't show for dinner.
00:15:14 - Yeah? I meant your name.
00:15:19 Okay, mister. Okay.
00:15:25 Thanks, Willie.
00:15:30 - Fished this one out of the Gulf.
00:15:37 - Hit and run.
00:15:40 - What'd he look like?
00:15:43 - Medium what?
00:15:46 - Medium weight.
00:15:51 You can call him medium, what's left
00:15:56 That's the lot.
00:15:58 - All the rest empty?
00:16:00 Not much business
00:16:04 - One just came in, but he don't fit.
00:16:07 - You said suicide.
00:16:10 This one came from a car smash.
00:16:14 - I might as well blanket the field.
00:16:18 - I can stand it if you can.
00:16:24 He was like a lump of charcoal.
00:16:29 It might be Johnny.
00:16:32 No hardware on him?
00:16:35 Nothing. He'd been cleaned as though
00:16:41 The only thing was a hunk
00:16:45 Only it's big for a tooth
00:16:50 Black enamel and gold.
00:16:55 So, Johnny had taken his last jump.
00:16:59 - What's it look like to you?
00:17:03 Are you kidding?
00:17:05 That's an idea.
00:17:09 Kincaid would check
00:17:12 ... and find out I'd never been there
00:17:22 I was thinking, now I won't have
00:17:28 I remembered him in Berlin.
00:17:34 I used to say,
00:17:38 Why, I used to say to him...
00:17:40 Let's just say I remembered Johnny,
00:17:45 Let's just say that.
00:17:50 They don't give out the Congressional
00:17:54 ... but he was gonna get it.
00:17:56 I was going after whoever
00:18:00 Why should anybody kill Johnny?
00:18:03 Because he hadn't shot Chandler
00:18:08 There was a photo in
00:18:11 Louis Ord,
00:18:14 He was a witness at
00:18:17 Maybe he wouldn't help,
00:18:21 And he'd be fine. Mr. Louis Ord
00:18:27 I felt like a fight, Father.
00:19:05 How many, sir?
00:19:07 You alone, friend?
00:19:10 The bar is good enough, thanks.
00:19:17 It looked like feeding time
00:19:20 All you needed was money to start with
00:19:26 - What'll it be?
00:19:28 - Plain water?
00:19:32 Here you are, sir.
00:19:35 - Come here, sweetheart.
00:19:38 Didn't you used to be a waiter here?
00:19:43 I seem to know your face,
00:19:45 Remember a guy named Johnny?
00:19:48 In this business you meet
00:19:51 You were a witness against this one.
00:19:54 He acted like a mine
00:19:57 I hadn't seen a guy look
00:20:01 - Who are you?
00:20:04 - Capt. Murdock?
00:20:06 - Johnny's told me about you, captain.
00:20:11 He's been holed up at my place, until
00:20:17 - Who else has he seen here?
00:20:21 The Chandler doll?
00:20:24 She's tops.
00:20:27 - When did he last see her?
00:20:30 Just before he left my place,
00:20:35 What are you waiting for?
00:20:38 - Come on. Where is it?
00:20:41 - Hand it over. Give it to me.
00:20:48 Not here.
00:20:51 - I have that table for you, friend.
00:20:56 Sorry, sir. My mistake.
00:20:59 There was something about him I didn't
00:21:05 Evening, Mrs. Chandler.
00:21:08 Nobody can make them the way you can.
00:21:24 Thank you...
00:21:29 ...very much.
00:21:30 - Cinderella, with a husky voice.
00:21:36 In another guy's dreams.
00:21:39 - Who are you?
00:21:44 Where is Johnny?
00:21:45 You haven't told me if you still sing
00:21:52 Excuse me. The boss said
00:21:56 ...will you sing that song
00:22:00 - I couldn't, not possibly.
00:22:06 Yeah, I'd like to hear it.
00:22:10 All right, but just that one.
00:22:13 I'll take that table now,
00:22:18 I hated every part of her,
00:22:23 I wanted to see her the way Johnny had
00:22:29 Maybe she was all right
00:22:33 But I didn't believe it.
00:22:36 - You've seen Johnny since he got back?
00:22:40 Where is he now?
00:22:43 - He was frantic for three years.
00:22:47 In spite of the fact
00:22:50 If you know Johnny, you know
00:22:55 - When did you see him?
00:22:57 He was to call and let me know about
00:23:03 But he never called.
00:23:05 I've been staring at my phone.
00:23:09 I had to get out
00:23:13 - I just saw him.
00:23:15 - About 10:00.
00:23:23 We have a special treat
00:23:26 As a favour, the lady
00:23:30 ...has agreed to give us the song
00:23:36 Ladies and gentlemen,
00:25:52 I see what Johnny meant.
00:25:56 You and Johnny, you were together
00:26:01 We fought together.
00:26:03 And spent your leaves together.
00:26:06 Me with a gal, him without one.
00:26:12 Where is he? Won't you tell me,
00:26:16 - Let's dance.
00:26:23 I wanted her in my arms
00:26:26 My right hand on her spine would feel
00:26:32 But so did another girl I knew.
00:26:36 And it wasn't 4 million.
00:26:38 - Still wear the same perfume?
00:26:43 - "She wears jasmine," he said.
00:26:45 He called you Dusty. It was a name
00:26:50 Tell me where you saw him.
00:26:52 On a slab in the morgue,
00:27:04 I think we'd better sit down.
00:27:19 Her whole body had gone soft
00:27:23 But I kept thinking,
00:27:29 Take a couple of deep drags.
00:27:39 Thanks.
00:27:42 I won't do that again. Tell me
00:27:48 You're not feeling ill, Mrs. Chandler?
00:27:51 No, I feel fine, thanks.
00:27:53 It isn't often we have the pleasure
00:27:59 Mr. Murdock, this is Mr. Martinelli,
00:28:03 Mr. Murdock's an old friend.
00:28:05 Any friend of Mrs. Chandler's
00:28:08 I'm afraid I don't sing.
00:28:10 Perhaps you'd like
00:28:13 It's not wise to tell you, but the
00:28:18 Mrs. Chandler doesn't feel
00:28:23 Oh, I'm all right, really I am.
00:28:27 You too, sir?
00:28:28 I'll just watch. Roulette wheels
00:28:38 I was walking into something.
00:28:43 He hadn't asked her to, he'd told her
00:28:48 I didn't like the feeling
00:28:51 The way I wanted
00:28:54 The way I kept smelling
00:28:57 The way I kept hearing
00:29:00 Yeah, I was walking
00:29:12 Krause, have fresh drinks brought
00:29:16 And some of those pâté
00:29:20 ...that Pierre makes so well.
00:29:26 Right away, sir.
00:29:32 Number 11, black.
00:29:35 Two stacks, please.
00:29:40 Make your bets, ladies
00:29:51 No more bets. No more.
00:29:53 That way you'll get rid of it fast.
00:29:55 - It's a system I use.
00:30:01 Number 13, black.
00:30:05 Place your bets, ladies
00:30:13 No more bets. No more bets. No more.
00:30:17 - Eleven then seven. What next?
00:30:21 It won't work, Dusty. You got
00:30:26 Number 4, black. Nothing on 4.
00:30:36 She lost fast and heavy.
00:30:37 Maybe it was her way of
00:30:41 But I suspected there was more to it.
00:30:48 - How much is she on the rim for?
00:30:53 Let's see what I can do
00:30:58 Did you ride in on the killing?
00:31:00 Her horse stumbled.
00:31:03 They're all 7-11 dice.
00:31:07 - Not the luck?
00:31:10 You shoot honestly,
00:31:13 Open up the table.
00:31:17 Not at all,
00:31:22 - What's the limit?
00:31:26 We shoot 2000.
00:31:32 - Seven.
00:31:34 - The 4000 rides.
00:31:42 Eleven the winner.
00:31:43 7-11, your system, Dusty.
00:31:47 - We'd better stop with what we have.
00:31:55 The house will change the dice.
00:31:57 That's your privilege, friend.
00:32:12 That squares you with the house.
00:32:15 You think there's something wrong?
00:32:17 I never think when I gamble,
00:32:23 Krause, give Mr. Murdock back
00:32:29 I'd be delighted to have you roll
00:32:35 Let's say all of it.
00:32:40 - Four.
00:32:43 What man has done, Murdock can do.
00:32:58 - Please, Rip, I'm 16,000 ahead.
00:33:02 A solid winning every now and then
00:33:08 - Can't we have a nightcap?
00:33:11 We'll have it in my office.
00:33:17 If it's all the same to you,
00:33:22 Much obliged.
00:33:34 With all that money on you,
00:33:38 Snake eyes again.
00:33:40 Krause is a fool. My cutting him in
00:33:45 He's becoming greedy.
00:33:48 I'll keep these to remind me
00:33:52 A judicious principle. I gather that
00:33:58 - East St. Louis is around enough.
00:34:02 In what business were you, may I ask?
00:34:05 I owned taxicabs,
00:34:09 - Then you know Al Baretto?
00:34:15 Many times, although
00:34:18 I thought Al's Detroit
00:34:24 Where's Mike?
00:34:25 He mixed them, sir, but he got busy,
00:34:31 - Ramos gin fizz, madam.
00:34:38 Our very best, sir.
00:34:44 - Louis!
00:34:48 I got it all right.
00:34:52 Also my private stock. That's all.
00:35:02 To the beauties of St. Louis.
00:35:08 - You disapprove of the toast?
00:35:13 If I didn't drink, he might fall in
00:35:18 And if I did... But I kept remembering,
00:35:23 Maybe his only friend.
00:35:27 We await your pleasure.
00:35:29 Geronimo!
00:35:44 A lovely word, with the added charm
00:35:48 - A St. Louis expression?
00:35:52 Your expressions have
00:35:57 Baroque.
00:35:59 Mobster, as applied to me,
00:36:03 I've always had a preference
00:36:09 With a gambling racket on the side.
00:36:12 Scarcely a racket, Mr. Murdock.
00:36:14 More for my own amusement
00:36:19 Gambling is illegal, to be sure...
00:36:21 ...but the city is aware of it
00:36:25 My house encourages tourists,
00:36:35 Coming out of it was like
00:36:39 Everything foggy, an anchor
00:36:59 Rip, this is Coral, Dusty.
00:37:03 I don't know. Don't you know?
00:37:06 I just woke up in my garage.
00:37:08 That's a great place to wake up.
00:37:11 Mr. Martinelli is a fine...
00:37:14 Remind me to put him
00:37:18 My head's splitting.
00:37:22 Look in your bag.
00:37:26 Just a minute.
00:37:29 - Murder.
00:37:32 I said murder. I just sat up.
00:37:35 - The money's all here, Rip.
00:37:40 Then I can't understand
00:37:46 - What's your phone number, Dusty?
00:37:49 I'll call you back.
00:38:00 It was Louis.
00:38:15 His neck was broken.
00:38:19 Louis, Johnny's letter.
00:38:27 Then Martinelli was tied
00:38:30 He'd found out about Johnny's letter,
00:38:35 And Louis' body was to block me out
00:38:42 I had to get rid of Louis
00:38:46 ... Martinelli's next play,
00:40:03 Should I kick it in?
00:40:05 It may have been a phoney tip.
00:40:34 - It's you, the smart guy from Frisco.
00:40:38 - How'd you locate me?
00:40:42 Mind? Why should I mind?
00:40:49 You mind telling me
00:40:52 Maybe that guy you was looking for,
00:40:57 - What do you know about that corpse?
00:41:01 You heard the report
00:41:04 That's why the rental job
00:41:08 You knew that guy
00:41:11 You guys murder me.
00:41:13 - That's the only radio the shop had.
00:41:17 If you'd stop playing smart,
00:41:20 Where'd you get the head,
00:41:23 You're a day early for Easter bunnies.
00:41:27 You had a row with Louis Ord.
00:41:31 - Why don't you ask him?
00:41:34 You don't object to
00:41:38 I got a habit of sleeping late,
00:41:42 How long you known Coral Chandler?
00:41:45 Sometimes I think all my life.
00:41:48 - Nice thing you did, getting her even.
00:41:57 I'll leave the door unlocked.
00:42:01 Come on, Casey.
00:42:13 If my laundry is picked up,
00:42:18 When does the laundry pick it up?
00:42:22 Send the boy up at 8. While you're
00:42:27 Yeah, thanks.
00:42:34 Hello, Dusty. Yeah.
00:42:37 Yeah, my company's gone.
00:42:41 What did the world look like
00:42:45 Head like a balloon, huh?
00:42:49 What kind of a taste do you have?
00:42:53 Maybe it was DDT. I don't know,
00:42:57 How's your stomach feel?
00:43:02 I forgot to tell you, I don't trust
00:43:06 Look, I got a job for us.
00:43:08 What time is the top rush hour
00:43:12 Park your car in the garage at 1:00
00:43:17 All right, see you then.
00:43:32 How soon can you get me
00:43:36 That's my girl.
00:43:52 Hi, Al. This is Rip.
00:43:58 Did you get my phone message
00:44:01 Not yet. Not for a while.
00:44:03 I got unfinished business
00:44:06 Somebody who used to be your Detroit
00:44:11 Yeah, in spades.
00:44:15 Did you dig me up the name
00:44:18 McGee, 25 Palmetto Street.
00:44:21 Okay, pal. You're a pal.
00:44:25 I'll be seeing you. Yeah, when
00:45:11 Lieutenant Kincaid?
00:45:14 - Calling Lieutenant...
00:45:19 Headquarters, sir. On the phone.
00:45:29 Hello, lieutenant?
00:45:31 Chief wants to talk to you.
00:45:45 At last. You said 1:00.
00:45:48 The dining room's over there.
00:45:50 Hello? Hello?
00:45:54 - What's wrong? Can't you say a word?
00:46:15 - Where are we going?
00:46:19 - Not to speak of why.
00:46:23 There's a place at Flamingo Beach,
00:46:28 Stand him up.
00:46:31 - It isn't a man, it's my hairdresser.
00:46:37 - My hair's a mess after last night.
00:46:41 Maybe I'll let mine down too.
00:46:55 I can't understand
00:46:59 - He thinks you're with that gangster?
00:47:04 ...just a guy who sat in
00:47:08 - Well, then I don't see why...
00:47:13 - They should just be beautiful.
00:47:18 Women ought to come capsule-size,
00:47:23 When a man goes out,
00:47:26 That way, he knows where she is.
00:47:29 He gets to his restaurant,
00:47:33 ...then swaps a few lies with his pals
00:47:38 When it comes that time in the evening
00:47:43 ...he just waves his hand
00:47:46 That's the most conceited statement.
00:47:49 But if she starts to interrupt,
00:47:55 I understand. What you're saying is,
00:48:00 - Is that what I'm saying?
00:48:03 ...that a woman may drive you crazy,
00:48:08 And because you couldn't put her
00:48:12 I don't understand what does it.
00:48:17 The trouble is, it happened to Johnny
00:48:22 - At least not as intensely.
00:48:27 I was going with him because
00:48:31 And I'm lonely. You're right
00:48:36 But what happens when
00:48:40 Like music that never reaches a pitch?
00:48:43 What do you do, go on singing songs
00:48:49 Yeah...
00:48:51 ...I can see why Johnny loved you.
00:48:54 - And why he couldn't reach you.
00:48:58 It's just... There's some people
00:49:03 They come along,
00:49:09 Only, the funny thing is,
00:49:13 - That's crazy to say.
00:49:17 - But I'm not mixed up.
00:49:26 Do me a favour, park it for a while.
00:49:32 Careful, I'm the marrying type.
00:49:35 When you worked for Martinelli,
00:49:39 ...briefcase, papers or did he
00:49:44 I don't know, except he kept
00:49:48 Last night, Louis the bar man had
00:49:53 - What did it say?
00:49:58 - How do you know?
00:50:02 ...Louis was in my room,
00:50:05 ...with a broken neck.
00:50:08 - Oh, Rip.
00:50:11 I'm a guy that likes
00:50:14 Martinelli would have destroyed it
00:50:17 No, he'd want to read it first.
00:50:19 Johnny would have written it in code.
00:50:22 My guess is, he's still trying
00:50:27 - Not back there?
00:50:30 I just had my friend Baretto
00:50:33 He gave me the name of a safe expert.
00:50:36 He was so good the law
00:50:39 - He's retired. Lives in this town.
00:50:43 I don't think Johnny
00:50:46 - Why?
00:50:50 Rip, there's something
00:50:54 ...because Johnny wouldn't let me.
00:50:57 I was right there when it happened.
00:51:00 Johnny was afraid they'd blame me,
00:51:04 Ex-nightclub singer and young college
00:51:11 - But that wasn't the way it was.
00:51:15 Stuart had always been crazy jealous.
00:51:20 He started hitting me
00:51:23 He was mad enough to kill me,
00:51:27 Suddenly, Johnny came into the room.
00:51:33 He took the gun from Stuart,
00:51:36 ...but it seemed to go off
00:51:39 I passed out and when I came to...
00:51:43 ...Johnny was kissing me.
00:51:47 That was the last time I saw him
00:51:54 I remember he said goodbye.
00:52:08 You don't believe me, do you?
00:52:12 Yeah.
00:52:14 Yeah, sure, I believe you...
00:52:17 ...but I still want that letter.
00:52:22 Let's get out of this lobster trap.
00:52:26 They say salt's antiseptic.
00:52:46 Rip, what's the matter?
00:52:48 Is something the matter?
00:52:51 - Yesterday you called me Dusty. Today...
00:52:56 Yes. What would you like to call me?
00:52:59 - I'll have to think about that.
00:53:02 - I want you to.
00:53:06 I couldn't stand there looking
00:53:11 Her story about Johnny sounded real.
00:53:13 I'd buy it, on approval,
00:53:17 Only maybe I was buying a lot more
00:53:26 McGee, 25 Palmetto Street.
00:53:26 McGee, 25 Palmetto Street.
00:53:30 He'd probably paid 4 or 5000 for it,
00:53:35 From all I hear, it would
00:53:41 And here was this guy, McGee,
00:53:44 Chances are,
00:53:48 When this is over, go see him, Father.
00:53:53 But I had something else
00:53:58 - What'll it be?
00:54:02 Did you get one from St. Louis
00:54:09 - Hiya, Murdock?
00:54:13 Step right in.
00:54:21 Oh, McGee, this is Mike.
00:54:24 Hiya, Mike?
00:54:26 I'm fine now.
00:54:31 - What a nice place you've got.
00:54:35 Joe, that's my kid, he brought
00:54:39 Joe took this off a Nip colonel.
00:54:45 Almost cut your head off, didn't I?
00:54:49 - Those are German.
00:54:54 I'd turn them into Army ordnance.
00:54:58 ...there'll be nothing left
00:55:02 Holy smoke!
00:55:04 That Joe, collecting stuff like that.
00:55:12 - What sort of trick you got in mind?
00:55:25 My family bible.
00:55:34 When you spot your job, holler.
00:55:42 - There. Am I right?
00:55:45 That one? It's a pipe.
00:55:51 Martinelli's private office
00:55:57 I was willing to turn a trick
00:56:01 I'd cut it off to here for Al.
00:56:06 I've built up a legitimate business
00:56:11 Forget it, Murdock.
00:56:14 Wash it out of your mind.
00:56:17 No grease. It wouldn't do me
00:56:21 If it's a pipe, couldn't you
00:56:24 How you like that?
00:56:28 I have a letter I want to get,
00:56:32 Lady, there was a time
00:56:38 I'll show you how
00:56:45 - Where next?
00:56:48 Crescent Beach. Why?
00:56:50 Suppose you drive around, show me the
00:56:56 The letter wouldn't be
00:56:59 Maybe not. While I'm at the club, I
00:57:05 - I don't see the connection.
00:57:08 ...without opening
00:57:11 The trunk compartment.
00:57:48 - How long you been driving?
00:57:52 - It was my fault.
00:57:56 I just told her something
00:58:02 It must be here. I know it is.
00:58:05 It better be, unless you want
00:58:12 - It isn't here. It just isn't here.
00:58:20 I guess we're hooked. She must
00:58:25 That's the standard answer.
00:58:27 Can we stop by the mayor's office?
00:58:31 He's your pal, I suppose.
00:58:34 No, but he told me that if I got Mrs.
00:58:40 That's what I'd just told her when
00:58:45 Is that a fact?
00:58:47 And I hardly know him.
00:58:51 Okay. Get along with you.
00:59:01 Hey, wait a minute!
00:59:04 - What did you say, lady?
00:59:14 That was close.
00:59:17 That was a funny thing to say.
00:59:19 What was the matter with it?
00:59:23 Yes. He found it easy to believe.
00:59:30 Martinelli's beach house fronted
00:59:34 A big place he'd probably built
01:00:13 All right, get out, quick!
01:00:25 - Did they go for it?
01:00:29 What time have you got?
01:00:31 Five to 9.
01:00:34 Hello? Hotel Southern?
01:00:38 Give me the manager, will you, honey?
01:00:42 Well, this was gonna be it. If I got
01:00:47 If everything rolls on rubber,
01:00:51 - Can't I wait down the road?
01:00:55 I don't want you hurt.
01:00:59 The penthouse at The Gables.
01:01:01 You won't take
01:01:05 Not any fooler than I'm taking now...
01:01:12 ...doing that.
01:01:14 - Be careful.
01:01:18 It's funny how loud crickets
01:01:22 Funny, too, how a kiss stays on.
01:01:34 Martinelli was still up there.
01:01:39 But it had.
01:01:43 He was right on schedule.
01:01:46 I was thinking, "Go ahead.
01:01:51 This is the same gag you pulled on me.
01:01:55 Only thing missing is a sledgehammer
01:02:01 There was one joker. What if he'd
01:02:33 Here I was again, back to
01:02:38 ... with the pretty girl
01:02:41 Martinelli left in a hurry.
01:02:45 Not that I don't like music,
01:02:59 I'm crazy about you, sweetheart,
01:03:02 She moved over, Father.
01:03:07 Martinelli really had hauled freight
01:03:30 After my trouble to get Martinelli
01:03:34 I kept thinking, "It had
01:03:38 Up to now, everything
01:03:50 He had the letter.
01:03:54 But he hadn't gotten very far
01:04:09 He was doing research on that letter
01:04:21 Here was the real merchandise.
01:04:27 Martinelli! Martinelli!
01:04:30 Then, suddenly,
01:04:33 For a second I thought
01:04:38 It was like going out the jump door.
01:04:43 Count, sucker, and pull the ring.
01:04:45 One thousand. Two thousand.
01:04:48 Then, lights.
01:04:51 I tried to side-slip the chute,
01:04:55 The lights got brighter,
01:04:58 He's coming to.
01:05:02 Go ahead and make with
01:05:18 What's the letter say, friend?
01:05:22 - Tell us about it, friend.
01:05:25 I haven't yet solved the code.
01:05:30 I hadn't read it yet.
01:05:33 I just started to
01:05:36 You place me in
01:05:41 By nature, I'm a gentleman.
01:05:44 Brutality has always revolted me
01:05:48 Like your friend Baretto.
01:05:52 Although Krause's inclinations are
01:05:57 He suffered an injury to his brain
01:06:03 If you make me leave you to his
01:06:09 Go take a flying jump for yourself.
01:06:24 I'd formed a higher opinion
01:06:39 The rest is to dance time, friend.
01:06:54 You like music, friend?
01:06:57 I like music.
01:07:00 I love music.
01:07:08 I like all kinds of music.
01:07:21 Maybe he'll talk to you now, I think.
01:07:24 Prop him up in the chair
01:07:27 I can't bear the sight
01:07:30 And don't put that
01:07:33 In case there's more music?
01:07:50 There he is, all tuned up for you.
01:07:55 That's better.
01:07:58 You're a stubborn man,
01:08:00 Your whole attitude,
01:08:04 What time is it?
01:08:07 That seems a little beside the point.
01:08:10 It happens to be 10:45,
01:08:13 You're licked, Martinelli.
01:08:16 Quarter to 11, manager,
01:08:21 ...will phone me here.
01:08:24 - Don't fall for that.
01:08:27 Yes, Mr. Murdock? Do go on.
01:08:30 He's just making with the mouth.
01:08:34 Wrong, as usual.
01:08:40 Yes?
01:08:42 This is Mr. Martinelli.
01:08:45 No, Sanderson,
01:08:49 I haven't seen him tonight.
01:08:52 That's the right answer.
01:08:58 In what manner, if I may ask?
01:09:00 Sanderson's got a letter I wrote.
01:09:05 If I'm not back at the hotel by 11:15
01:09:12 ...he's to call the police
01:09:16 Are you going for that garbage?
01:09:20 And just what does this fascinating
01:09:25 Evidence.
01:09:27 Evidence that a couple of cheap guns
01:09:33 ...knocked off Johnny Preston
01:09:37 Correct me if I'm wrong.
01:09:40 Take him to the Hotel Southern.
01:09:42 Walk arm in arm, with your hand
01:09:47 Go to the elevators, our bruised
01:09:52 Murdock will call the manager
01:09:56 Station him in the bathroom.
01:09:58 He will call out to Sanderson
01:10:02 Bring the letter here,
01:10:06 As glass.
01:10:11 Of course, there wasn't any letter.
01:10:14 I was kicking on the first down
01:10:18 It didn't look like there
01:10:24 Hold it, you two! You, Murdock.
01:10:29 - Hello, lieutenant.
01:10:32 Shake hands with my friend, Krause.
01:10:37 Haven't I seen you around?
01:10:41 Frisk him, copper, he's got a gun!
01:10:47 The other guy, Murdock, follow him!
01:10:52 But they didn't get me.
01:10:57 - Then it's this man, Martinelli...
01:11:01 But as I've been telling it to you,
01:11:06 I remember there was a whiff of
01:11:12 Maybe it was her.
01:11:15 Suddenly I got a feeling
01:11:19 Jasmine.
01:11:24 You're in a bad way.
01:11:27 - Thanks, anyway.
01:11:30 If I ask Father Donlin,
01:11:34 For medicinal purposes of course,
01:11:38 It won't take me a minute.
01:11:44 Before I see Father Donlin, just
01:11:49 The two of us, I mean.
01:11:51 Of course, my boy, you want me in
01:12:03 By all that's holy, he don't.
01:12:22 Rip, what have they done to you?
01:12:28 Come closer and you can see.
01:12:34 Come on, closer.
01:12:38 There, that's about right.
01:12:48 Get me a drink.
01:13:14 Tell me what happened, darling.
01:13:18 I heard of a girl once, kissed a guy
01:13:23 I heard of another girl that kissed
01:13:28 Had the smell of jasmine in her hair.
01:13:31 In Martinelli's office, all around me,
01:13:36 And when I woke up, they turned
01:13:42 Mr. Krause likes music.
01:13:46 Was the window open?
01:13:48 Why don't you tell me about
01:13:52 The smell of jasmine is strong
01:13:57 Night-blooming jasmine grows
01:14:02 You think fast,
01:14:05 I ought to hate you
01:14:12 But I can't.
01:14:15 You can say anything, do anything.
01:14:23 Oh, Rip, what does a girl
01:14:27 - Turn inside out to make you see?
01:14:32 I came here to...
01:14:34 Tell me about paradise
01:14:38 I haven't had a good laugh since
01:14:43 I'm not the type that
01:14:45 I'm the brass-knucks-in-the-teeth-
01:14:49 It's no use with you, is it?
01:14:52 Maybe the trouble is,
01:14:55 I don't appreciate the finer things.
01:14:58 Like looking at a doll cry and taking
01:15:03 - Johnny didn't tell you that!
01:15:06 You think I fell for that fancy tripe?
01:15:12 - You killed him, why lie?
01:15:17 - It was exactly like I told you.
01:15:22 - Only the struggle.
01:15:26 Yes, that's the way, Rip.
01:15:31 I'm tired. I can't go on anymore.
01:15:35 For nearly four years,
01:15:39 Since I came into Stuart's money,
01:15:44 I could stand Martinelli,
01:15:48 How did he cut himself in?
01:15:50 I had to talk to somebody
01:15:53 I wanted to tell the police
01:15:57 But I was afraid,
01:16:00 So you picked the worst hoodlum
01:16:03 He's always been nice. He gave me
01:16:07 He knows about courts.
01:16:11 And offered to get rid of the gun.
01:16:13 The mark on the bullet
01:16:17 - Strike one. Stay with it.
01:16:21 I never thought about fingerprints,
01:16:25 High, fast and on the inside.
01:16:30 You can't hurt me anymore.
01:16:35 Then your Johnny will be cleared.
01:16:38 You don't care what happens to me.
01:16:45 There's the telephone.
01:16:48 I'll miss you, Mike.
01:16:59 Larry? May I have
01:17:08 The chief, I guess.
01:17:23 Hello?
01:17:25 This is Mrs...
01:17:27 Yes, who is it?
01:17:44 I had to make you prove it
01:17:53 A few minutes ago,
01:17:57 Now I can, Mike. I'm doing it
01:18:12 I never thought it could happen.
01:18:14 I've been waiting so long
01:18:18 Rip, I lived by the train tracks.
01:18:22 I was a carhop in Texas, a cigarette
01:18:27 And then I sang, and when Stuart
01:18:32 But money wasn't the answer either.
01:18:36 Well, every time I had a chance
01:18:39 ...somebody's pushed me, pulled
01:18:44 Oh, it's a blue, sick world, Rip.
01:18:48 I'm tired of it,
01:18:52 I want to go away. With you.
01:18:58 I don't know if it makes sense,
01:19:02 I love you. Does that make sense?
01:19:08 I said a while ago,
01:19:12 I'll always do awfully good,
01:19:17 My bet's on you, kid.
01:19:22 I'm wrong about you this time,
01:19:26 You're not wrong. I'll be your girl.
01:19:31 We'll go anyplace you want
01:19:35 Be the kind of people who live.
01:20:02 I'm going to call the doctor. It isn't
01:20:07 When a woman frets about a man
01:20:11 ...she needs a preacher, not a doctor.
01:20:15 - Yes, I've got it bad.
01:20:18 - He shaved and had breakfast.
01:20:21 I went in, and he wasn't there.
01:20:24 I had cold fingers up my back
01:20:28 And there he was,
01:20:31 I just gave him the biggest
01:20:34 So stop worrying.
01:20:38 Have I got that look in my eyes?
01:20:40 - Lf you have, keep it there.
01:20:45 I never had a better night's sleep.
01:20:49 - Two nights and a day.
01:20:53 I've been packing,
01:20:57 For our trip.
01:20:59 That little trip to paradise.
01:21:03 - Any stops we have to make on the way?
01:21:08 Do they have taxicabs
01:21:12 What kind of a question is that?
01:21:15 Maybe we won't have to touch
01:21:18 It's been nothing but trouble,
01:21:25 ...and I'd like to start out fresh,
01:21:30 Mike, I may be a sucker for saying
01:21:36 Anything you want,
01:21:40 The two of us.
01:21:49 Darling, where are you going?
01:21:52 While you're breaking camp,
01:21:56 - Who?
01:21:59 McGee? Why?
01:22:29 - Mable!
01:22:32 Take it easy, Mr. Rip.
01:22:40 - Who are you?
01:22:43 Rip, where have you been?
01:22:46 I was afraid you were never coming
01:22:52 What are you doing here?
01:22:55 He's climbing the back stairs.
01:22:59 He figured the cops was following him.
01:23:05 ...he'd get 1 to 10
01:23:08 - What is it?
01:23:12 Don't touch them! Murdock says they
01:23:17 - What does he want with them?
01:23:21 Pleased to have met you.
01:23:26 He's got it cosy here, I'll say that.
01:23:38 - Sure nobody tailed me?
01:23:42 - Thanks.
01:23:44 It perked up my whole day.
01:23:51 - You almost set?
01:23:55 - Where are your bags?
01:23:58 - Good. Where's McGee's junk?
01:24:02 After a call on Martinelli,
01:24:06 ...to the next stop on the main line.
01:24:09 Let's go away now, drive
01:24:13 Martinelli won't ever know
01:24:16 I don't care about anything.
01:24:20 And leave your fingerprints
01:24:23 Do it my way. I'll never
01:24:27 Don't push me, darling.
01:24:28 Chucking your fingerprints
01:24:31 Martinelli won't give up that gun.
01:24:35 - That would be awful, wouldn't it?
01:24:39 My trouble is, I never should
01:24:45 Is there any other reason
01:24:48 Please, Rip, don't start being
01:24:53 Yeah. Then I'll need your help.
01:24:55 I'll need you to open the back door
01:25:00 - Please, Rip.
01:25:07 All right. What can I do?
01:25:11 Well, you can start
01:25:15 Getting full-sized. Big girl.
01:25:46 - Chief said there was a call on this...
01:25:53 Nobody asked me,
01:25:56 - Nothing personal.
01:26:00 I'm booked for tonight.
01:26:08 All right, that's far enough.
01:26:14 Here. Cut off a hunk
01:26:20 Okay, lieutenant, drop them.
01:26:24 Down on your belly.
01:26:27 - Cradle, or what?
01:26:34 Tie him up, and tight.
01:26:36 Wrists first, then ankles
01:26:42 Not that tight. Even a Homicide man
01:26:46 - That's more than I can say for you.
01:26:50 Once I get clear of this,
01:26:55 - Then they'll make you a captain.
01:27:01 Will that do?
01:27:03 Yeah, okay. Now get Mable.
01:27:08 What do you weigh, lieutenant?
01:27:20 - You got a watch?
01:27:21 All right. Sit down here till 12:30.
01:27:24 Then let him out
01:27:28 No one will do anything to you.
01:27:31 I ain't worried
01:27:34 Come see us again. Gulf City
01:27:38 Here goes nothing, kid. Geronimo.
01:27:50 - Good evening, Mrs. Chandler.
01:28:06 - Can't it wait? He's got a grouch on.
01:28:10 Okay. It's your funeral.
01:28:15 You can't handle this from Detroit.
01:28:20 Didn't he tell you
01:28:23 - It's important.
01:28:27 - What is it?
01:28:30 - He followed me.
01:28:33 - I didn't see him, boss.
01:28:36 I'll go out this way.
01:28:41 You have to jerk the bolt.
01:28:46 Get them up!
01:28:51 Beat it, Mike. Keep the motor
01:28:57 Geronimo, Rip.
01:29:06 You've got the gun
01:29:09 - Who told you that, Coral?
01:29:11 She couldn't have told you
01:29:15 - She has the shrewdness...
01:29:20 - Kick it shut and lock it.
01:29:28 Move over.
01:29:34 Turn around.
01:29:39 Keep your right hand up and reach
01:29:45 One quick move
01:29:51 Drop it on the floor.
01:29:55 Kick it over toward the window.
01:30:04 Now, turn around.
01:30:09 Come a little closer.
01:30:13 One more step.
01:30:17 There. That's about right.
01:30:22 How's the tempo of the music, friend?
01:30:26 Here's a little melody for you!
01:30:29 One of my favourite tunes.
01:30:34 Now, I'll take that gun.
01:30:38 Get over to the safe.
01:30:40 The safe? I'm bewildered.
01:30:46 She went through everything in it
01:30:50 Start moving.
01:30:52 If she hadn't taken Johnny's letter
01:30:57 ...would I have asked you to repeat it
01:31:00 Never mind. Get that gun.
01:31:02 Maybe I ought to tell you
01:31:07 She was my wife
01:31:11 You're a sharp boy
01:31:14 Baretto warned me about that.
01:31:20 Are you in love with her?
01:31:25 Did she mention anything
01:31:30 Did she tell you she was a carhop once
01:31:34 That was the story
01:31:38 She came from the slums of Detroit.
01:31:43 You don't want that gun. Unless you
01:31:49 Maybe I'll put your fingerprints on it
01:31:54 The weakness of your position
01:31:58 ...obviously you'll never
01:32:02 You worry about your position,
01:32:06 My position is clear.
01:32:08 Since I was in it with her, that gun
01:32:13 As a choice, particularly under these
01:32:18 As a good last gesture...
01:32:21 ...just shoot straight
01:32:25 All mushy outside and hard at
01:32:30 These are out of Tojo, by Hitler.
01:32:34 Because they crawl and burn, not quick
01:32:40 Are you crazy?
01:32:42 Either I get that gun or the slow
01:32:47 Can't you see I'm telling the truth?
01:32:49 Chandler offered her marriage
01:32:54 And in six months
01:32:57 After the marriage, the doctor told me
01:33:02 That night Johnny Preston and
01:33:07 That was all I needed. I followed him
01:33:11 Preston thought she did it.
01:33:13 If you don't believe this...
01:33:16 ...how do you suppose I knew
01:33:20 - But you knocked Johnny off.
01:33:23 I only told Krause to shadow him.
01:33:29 Would I admit this if I were lying?
01:33:32 Maybe, maybe not. It's a pretty story.
01:33:37 I haven't got it, I swear!
01:33:41 - Would you like yourself medium-rare?
01:33:45 - Liar!
01:33:48 - She took it!
01:33:52 If you're right, it's your hard luck.
01:34:04 Scratch one hoodlum.
01:34:08 There. Bottom drawer!
01:34:10 - Unlock it!
01:34:12 - Where?
01:34:21 Beat it. We're going to headquarters.
01:34:52 Move over, baby.
01:35:04 Why'd you shoot him?
01:35:07 I thought they'd killed you.
01:35:09 That was decent,
01:35:13 The cops won't squawk about Martinelli
01:35:18 - What do you mean?
01:35:22 We're going down to headquarters
01:35:26 We're going to headquarters?
01:35:29 You tried to kill me just now.
01:35:32 You expected me
01:35:35 ...and I'd know a lot more
01:35:38 You're right about that.
01:35:44 Rip, can't we put this behind us?
01:35:49 I can't forget I might die tomorrow.
01:35:52 Suppose you got sore at me
01:35:56 Then there's Johnny. When a guy's pal
01:36:02 Don't you love me?
01:36:06 That's the tough part of it,
01:36:10 Those things do, in time.
01:36:13 And then there's one other thing:
01:36:19 - What'd you do with the gun?
01:36:23 Give it to me.
01:36:27 It is a blue, sick world for you.
01:36:30 Like I said, somebody always
01:36:34 If you shoot, baby,
01:37:16 Rip, Rip. Where is Rip?
01:37:21 He's coming. He'll be right here.
01:37:27 Never mind the spelling. I'll get it
01:37:36 She wants you.
01:37:38 Any hope?
01:37:42 She's lucky.
01:37:49 Who? Captain?
01:37:53 Murdock, you got a call in
01:37:58 - Since when was you a captain?
01:38:03 Hello? General Steele? Yes, sir.
01:38:08 Mission all cleaned up, sir.
01:38:12 Well, as soon as I can get a plane.
01:38:15 There's one thing, general. The
01:38:20 Sergeant Drake's Medal of Honour will
01:38:25 Yes, sir.
01:38:29 So am I, sir.
01:38:32 Goodbye, sir.
01:38:47 Hello, kid.
01:38:54 This is it for me, Rip, isn't it?
01:39:00 I wouldn't kid you, Mike.
01:39:03 Let me hang on to you.
01:39:07 Your hand.
01:39:12 I'm so scared.
01:39:17 I wish you could put me
01:39:28 Everything's slipping.
01:39:32 Inside I'm falling.
01:39:38 Like going out the jump door.
01:39:43 Hold your breath and just let go, Mike.
01:39:48 Remember all the guys
01:39:52 You'll have plenty of company, Mike.
01:39:56 High-class company.
01:40:02 Geronimo, Mike.
