Are you the police? Smile when you say that. 00:17:06.305 --> 00:17:10.865 I'm a reporter. Oh, a newspaper man. Well, you don't have to say it like that. 00:17:10.985 --> 00:17:12.405 Let go of me. Go away. 00:17:16.125 --> 00:17:20.505 Are you just going to leave me dangling here? I don't care what I say. 00:17:20.625 --> 00:17:25.045 Help me get out of here. It's a pleasure, Mrs. J. You are Mrs. Johnson, aren't you? 00:17:25.165 --> 00:17:27.480 No, I'm the maid taking my night out. 00:17:30.535 --> 00:17:34.514 What magic I possess. A moment ago, total strangers.

Do I get the story? 00:17:40.496 --> 00:17:42.671 After I get out of here. Follow me, then. 00:17:53.165 --> 00:17:56.294 It looks like half the police force is down there. 00:18:02.085 --> 00:18:06.079 Must I? Just look straight ahead like you did when you got married. 00:18:06.615 --> 00:18:09.537 Incidentally, my name's Leggett. Leggett is a graphic. 00:18:09.657 --> 00:18:13.665 We've got a dandy little sheet all full of goo and gore and everything. 00:18:13.785 --> 00:18:14.885 Hey! Bye. 00:18:21.905 --> 00:18:23.905 (music playing) 00:18:53.785 --> 00:18:58.058 You wish something? Gin over rocks. Rocks? Is this chair taken, madam? 00:18:58.108 --> 00:19:00.190 Why, thank you, Mrs. Johnson. I'd love to join you. 00:19:00.265 --> 00:19:01.370 You didn't think you were going to get rid 00:19:01.445 --> 00:19:03.404 of me as easy as you ducked the police, did you? 00:19:03.485 --> 00:19:06.605 I'll have you know, Mrs. J, I'm an old fire escape man from way back. 00:19:06.725 --> 00:19:08.164 Why don't you get lost? 00:19:14.605 --> 00:19:16.482 Now then, how about the story? 00:19:16.602 --> 00:19:19.565 You'll get the story from my husband when he's safe and sound in jail. 00:19:19.685 --> 00:19:21.225 Oh, but he won't be safe and sound. 00:19:21.300 --> 00:19:24.443 Have you forgotten a fellow by the name of Joe Gordon? Do you wish something? 00:19:24.493 --> 00:19:26.845 Yeah, let me have a bourbon old -fashioned. 00:19:26.965 --> 00:19:29.925 Why did you come here tonight, Mrs. Johnson? Or shouldn't I ask? 00:19:30.045 --> 00:19:31.105 Because I like it here. 00:19:31.180 --> 00:19:34.078 You didn't by any chance come here to meet, say, your husband, did you? 00:19:34.128 --> 00:19:35.869 Or is that a far -fetched supposition? 00:19:35.919 --> 00:19:38.450 Supposition? I'd better stop using those four -syllable words. 00:19:38.525 --> 00:19:39.730 I won't be working for the graphic anymore. 00:19:39.805 --> 00:19:42.744 Where's your husband, Mrs. Johnson? I don't know. Did he see the killer? 00:19:42.794 --> 00:19:45.527 I don't know. Should we dance? Why don't you drop dead? 00:19:49.555 --> 00:19:51.985 Why don't you be nice to me, Mrs. Johnson? 00:19:52.105 --> 00:19:54.045 Who knows, I might even be able to help you. 00:19:54.165 --> 00:19:55.965 I'm not a bad guy when you get to know me. 00:19:56.085 --> 00:19:58.485 A little obnoxious, perhaps, but pleasant. 00:19:58.605 --> 00:20:00.245 Now then, answer yes or no. 00:20:00.320 --> 00:20:02.973 Your husband saw the murder and took it on the lam, right? Right. 00:20:03.023 --> 00:20:05.325 And you're meeting him here? I haven't 00:20:05.445 --> 00:20:07.225 the slightest idea. I came here on a hunch. 00:20:07.345 --> 00:20:10.865 When he phoned tonight, I heard music that could only have come from this joint. 00:20:10.985 --> 00:20:13.905 Something to eat? No, thanks, hopefully. Well, go ahead. Try something. 00:20:14.025 --> 00:20:15.277 No, really, nothing. 00:20:18.905 --> 00:20:23.245 Oh, uh, I've got a deal for you. You find your husband with my help. 00:20:23.320 --> 00:20:26.381 Give me an exclusive for 24 hours, and I'll get my paper to pay you for it. 00:20:26.431 --> 00:20:29.245 Trying to buy me some soon? First, I'm going to try and buy you. 00:20:29.320 --> 00:20:31.116 And if I can't, I'm going to try to win you. 00:20:31.166 --> 00:20:34.725 Isn't that the reverse of the usual procedure? I'm a perverse fellow. 00:20:34.845 --> 00:20:37.805 On second thought, Mrs. J, I find you very attractive. 00:20:37.925 --> 00:20:41.625 I may try and win you right off. No, thanks. I'd rather be bought. 00:20:41.745 --> 00:20:45.205 Very mercenary. All of the good, though. I like mercenary women. 00:20:45.325 --> 00:20:46.577 Good title, Kleiner. 00:20:47.365 --> 00:20:48.265 Bang, Ola. 00:20:51.855 --> 00:20:56.525 Money? Sure. How much? Oh, I don't know. A gram, maybe. Is it worth that much? 00:20:56.645 --> 00:20:59.146 Will be by the time I get through building it up. 00:20:59.196 --> 00:21:01.890 Frank will need it if he wants to get away. I'll bring it with me. 00:21:01.965 --> 00:21:05.230 Just tell me where and when. And you won't print anything until I give the word. 00:21:05.280 --> 00:21:06.105 Scouts honor. 00:21:06.445 --> 00:21:08.635 It's the deal. Shall we drink to it? 00:21:09.429 --> 00:21:12.245 To the speedy conclusion of all our troubles, 00:21:12.365 --> 00:21:14.180 Yours, your husband's, and mine. 00:21:14.300 --> 00:21:18.744 You've got trouble if you don't look and then I can't solve now that we're partners 00:21:21.015 --> 00:21:25.085 Hi, I'm mrs. Johnson. Hi Sammy sit on beat mr. Leggett at the graphic. 00:21:25.205 --> 00:21:28.645 Oh, a newspaper man, Sammy? You should have caught the show. Susie 00:21:28.765 --> 00:21:31.005 and I are breaking in a new act tongue in Okito. 00:21:31.125 --> 00:21:36.185 It's terrific That's about C H U N G. Anybody can spell a Tito. Of course. 00:21:36.305 --> 00:21:40.045 We're only breaking in the show here But a little plug will help. 00:21:40.165 --> 00:21:43.365 I'll see what I can do Thanks. Next time you come, catch the midnight show. 00:21:43.485 --> 00:21:46.905 The place is really jumping then. I'll be seeing you. Bye, Sammy. Bye. 00:21:47.025 --> 00:21:50.385 Well, I think I'll go home. Frank won't show tonight. How do you know? 00:21:50.505 --> 00:21:52.007 I just know. That's all. 00:21:52.087 --> 00:21:55.230 What are you going to tell your husband when you see him? To give himself up. 00:21:55.305 --> 00:21:56.744 Maybe I'll give up too. 00:22:19.045 --> 00:22:20.359 Leave your flag down. 00:22:22.035 --> 00:22:23.764 You want to go in over the roof? 00:22:23.814 --> 00:22:26.630 No, I'll go in the front door and give them something to think about. 00:22:26.705 --> 00:22:29.709 No, in that case, I'll disappear. Let's not give them too much to think about. 00:22:29.759 --> 00:22:31.725 Well, if I need you, I'll get in touch with you. 00:22:31.800 --> 00:22:34.820 Oh, you won't have to get in touch with me, Mr. Johnson. Just look around. 00:22:34.870 --> 00:22:36.926 I'll be there. Good night, Mr. Leggett. 00:22:45.695 --> 00:22:48.725 What are you doing here? That was nice going, Mrs. Johnson. 00:22:48.845 --> 00:22:52.787 But the next time you try to get out, you'll have more trouble. 00:22:53.285 --> 00:22:54.662 I've got news for you. 00:22:56.125 --> 00:23:00.318 I've just seen your husband's doctor. Why? Aren't you feeling well? 00:23:01.465 --> 00:23:03.655 Your husband isn't a hypochondriac. 00:23:04.505 --> 00:23:07.196 He's a very sick man. He's got a bad heart. 00:23:10.525 --> 00:23:13.225 I don't believe it. Ask Dr. Hohler. 00:23:18.295 --> 00:23:21.445 Frank never said anything to me about it. Maybe he figured 00:23:21.565 --> 00:23:25.325 you wouldn't be interested. Well, he can walk into any drugstore 00:23:25.445 --> 00:23:27.772 and buy some medicine. Not without a prescription, he can't. 00:23:27.865 --> 00:23:29.824 And I've given orders to every drugstore in town 00:23:29.899 --> 00:23:31.777 that none of this medicine is to be dispensed 00:23:31.827 --> 00:23:34.225 without an order from me he should have an attack 00:23:34.308 --> 00:23:36.390 and not have that with him, you know what that means. 00:23:36.465 --> 00:23:38.685 You can't do that. If it's the only way 00:23:38.805 --> 00:23:40.565 I can get him to come in and testify, I mean 00:23:40.685 --> 00:23:43.065 to use it. But Frank's done nothing wrong. Oh, yes, 00:23:43.185 --> 00:23:45.065 he has. He was in the wrong place at the wrong 00:23:45.185 --> 00:23:48.265 time I thought the police were supposed to protect people not put 00:23:48.385 --> 00:23:50.181 them in danger. All it says in my book, sister, 00:23:50.256 --> 00:23:52.419 is that the good of the majority has got to be upheld. 00:23:52.469 --> 00:23:55.145 And for the good of the majority, Frank Johnson's got to testify. 00:23:55.265 --> 00:23:58.785 if he gives himself up we'll give him a supply of medicine we're protected 00:23:58.905 --> 00:24:01.225 And if he doesn't, he'll die of a heart attack 00:24:01.345 --> 00:24:03.565 or a bullet from one of Smiley Freeman's men. 00:24:03.673 --> 00:24:06.530 I don't believe a word you're saying. You're only trying to frighten me. 00:24:06.605 --> 00:24:08.945 And I'm getting pretty sick of you. Now get out of here. 00:24:09.065 --> 00:24:11.024 Of course if you want to try to find it, I won't 00:24:11.125 --> 00:24:14.004 try to stop you I don't think you can find it. 00:24:14.124 --> 00:24:18.845 I Don't think he's running away from us. I think he's running away from you. 00:24:18.965 --> 00:24:20.125 I said get out 00:24:59.075 --> 00:25:01.285 I am violating my instructions from the 00:25:01.405 --> 00:25:03.745 from the police by giving you this additional supply, 00:25:03.865 --> 00:25:06.185 but rest assured, it gives me no feeling of guilt. 00:25:06.305 --> 00:25:07.065 Thank you, doctor. 00:25:07.185 --> 00:25:08.785 After the excitement of last night, 00:25:08.905 --> 00:25:12.205 your husband undoubtedly used the ampules he carried with him. 00:25:12.325 --> 00:25:14.645 So you see, my action is not prompted by kindness 00:25:14.765 --> 00:25:17.894 so much as reluctance to gamble with a man's life. 00:25:18.205 --> 00:25:20.520 Is his heart really that bad, doctor? 00:25:20.640 --> 00:25:23.725 Frank's condition isn't any worse than thousands of men 00:25:23.845 --> 00:25:26.385 that strain their hearts running in track meat. 00:25:26.505 --> 00:25:29.076 The misguided believed that they were building up their bodies. 00:25:29.165 --> 00:25:32.785 If it were only his heart, we could control it. What do you mean? 00:25:32.905 --> 00:25:35.985 Well, for the past year, your husband has had hypertension. 00:25:36.105 --> 00:25:37.669 That complicates matters. 00:25:37.789 --> 00:25:40.245 Hypertension? What causes that? I'm not sure. 00:25:40.365 --> 00:25:43.605 My guess is overwork, unhappiness, anxiety. 00:25:43.954 --> 00:25:47.145 But you know more about it than I do. Why should I? 00:25:47.265 --> 00:25:50.245 But naturally, you must know about his troubles. I'm only his doctor. 00:25:50.365 --> 00:25:54.362 You're his wife. Oh, yes. I'm that bitter, selfish, vicious wife. 00:25:54.412 --> 00:25:57.718 The cause of his unhappiness, the cause of his failure. Is that what he told you? 00:25:57.768 --> 00:25:59.045 Is that what he tells everyone? 00:25:59.165 --> 00:26:01.325 Frank didn't discuss his private life with me, 00:26:01.445 --> 00:26:02.845 nor do I care to hear it from you. 00:26:02.965 --> 00:26:04.645 I shall explain to you his condition, 00:26:04.765 --> 00:26:07.456 and that's all. He has a cardiac condition. 00:26:07.945 --> 00:26:12.513 Let's call that X. Now, X alone is not serious. He also has hypertension. 00:26:12.725 --> 00:26:17.585 Let's call that Y. X plus Y is dangerous. I'm Y, I suppose. 00:26:17.705 --> 00:26:21.294 I'm not a psychiatrist, Mrs. Johnson. I deal only with facts. 00:26:21.414 --> 00:26:25.665 X plus Y equals steady deterioration. X minus Y is an improvement. 00:26:25.785 --> 00:26:30.021 And what you and your husband do about it, that's your personal concern. 00:26:30.141 --> 00:26:33.965 My only personal concern right now is to get these ampules to him. 00:26:34.085 --> 00:26:36.525 If you see him, tell him he should give himself up. 00:26:36.645 --> 00:26:40.025 It's imperative to take the strain off himself. I'll give him the facts. 00:26:40.145 --> 00:26:41.748 He can draw his own conclusions. 00:27:26.185 --> 00:27:28.500 My darling, I thought I'd never come. 00:27:28.685 --> 00:27:32.690 Now stay right here. I'll be back inside and explain everything. 00:27:34.815 --> 00:27:38.445 All right, Mr. Johnson, come along. My name isn't Johnson. 00:27:38.565 --> 00:27:41.805 Yeah, and I suppose that isn't your wife either. No, but I wish it were. 00:27:41.925 --> 00:27:44.365 Do you have any identification? Yes, I have. 00:27:44.485 --> 00:27:46.405 My name is Stephen Carruthers, optometrist. 00:27:46.525 --> 00:27:51.093 While we're on the subject, I think you'd better have your eyes examined. 00:28:07.805 --> 00:28:11.867 So, Frank is a fugitive from the law. Well, that's just like him. 00:28:11.987 --> 00:28:13.237 He's so adventurous. 00:28:14.245 --> 00:28:16.605 Adventurous? Frank? Oh, yes, indeed. 00:28:16.725 --> 00:28:21.105 Sit down, Mrs. Johnson. I guess you've never visited our workshop before. 00:28:21.225 --> 00:28:24.305 What makes you think he's adventurous? Oh, but he is. 00:28:24.425 --> 00:28:27.565 All the places he's gone and all the things he's done. 00:28:27.685 --> 00:28:30.405 You know, my life has been pretty uneventful. 00:28:30.525 --> 00:28:32.805 Straight from high school to this job. 00:28:32.925 --> 00:28:36.725 From my rooming house to the streetcar and then down here to work. 00:28:36.845 --> 00:28:38.845 In the evening, back to my rooming house again. 00:28:38.965 --> 00:28:43.705 But since he's been here, it's different. He makes my life kind of exciting. 00:28:43.825 --> 00:28:45.665 I never get tired of listening to the stories 00:28:45.785 --> 00:28:47.625 he tells about his trip down to Mexico. 00:28:47.745 --> 00:28:50.885 When he was wandering around with all those bullfighters. 00:28:51.005 --> 00:28:52.925 And when he shipped off to Tahiti 00:28:53.045 --> 00:28:55.505 in that old freighter. and then jumped ship? 00:28:55.625 --> 00:29:00.325 Oh, I'm sorry. I suppose you've heard these stories many times, Mrs. Johnson. 00:29:00.445 --> 00:29:03.545 I never heard them. He never told me. He didn't? 00:29:04.085 --> 00:29:06.838 Well, maybe he didn't want his wife to know. 00:29:06.958 --> 00:29:10.685 Oh, I'm sorry if I talked out of turn. Of course you haven't. 00:29:10.805 --> 00:29:14.305 Shouldn't the mail be here? Why, yes, yes, it should. Why? 00:29:14.425 --> 00:29:17.265 Frank sent me a letter in care of you. Oh, he did? 00:29:17.385 --> 00:29:19.745 I don't know what Mr. Anderson is going to say 00:29:19.865 --> 00:29:22.305 when he finds out Frank isn't coming in today. 00:29:22.425 --> 00:29:26.585 You know, he's got a terrible disposition. He doesn't exercise enough. 00:29:26.705 --> 00:29:30.705 Of course, I don't either, but then... Well, I'm going to protect Frank. 00:29:30.825 --> 00:29:34.305 He saved my job once. You know, Mr. Anderson was going to fire me. 00:29:34.425 --> 00:29:37.865 But Frank said, if Mr. Mabus goes, you can pay me off, too. 00:29:37.985 --> 00:29:42.725 Oh, they had a terrible argument. They even took it upstairs to Mr. Winston. 00:29:42.845 --> 00:29:45.786 Well, we're still here. Frank was too valuable. 00:29:47.985 --> 00:29:48.939 Look, Mr. Mabus, 00:29:49.059 --> 00:29:52.996 don't tell anyone about that letter that's coming. Oh, no, no, no. 00:29:53.116 --> 00:29:55.383 You can trust me. Not even the police? 00:29:55.765 --> 00:29:59.345 The police? Are they coming here? They're very apt to. 00:29:59.465 --> 00:30:01.025 But just don't mention the letter 00:30:01.145 --> 00:30:02.941 or anything about my being here at all, huh? 00:30:03.025 --> 00:30:05.385 Well, I don't know how good I am at deceiving people, 00:30:05.505 --> 00:30:07.485 but if it's for Frank, I'll try. 00:30:07.605 --> 00:30:10.505 Hey, Mavis. You better get the lead out and get upstairs. 00:30:10.625 --> 00:30:14.025 Anderson's blowing his top. Okay, I'll be right up. Is the mail in yet? 00:30:14.145 --> 00:30:15.271 How should I know? 00:30:16.205 --> 00:30:17.105 Nice people. 00:30:17.155 --> 00:30:21.025 Sometimes I think it'd be better for Frank if he got himself fired. 00:30:21.145 --> 00:30:22.925 Well, he doesn't belong around here. 00:30:23.045 --> 00:30:26.111 Look at all the time he puts in these mannequins. 00:30:27.185 --> 00:30:31.440 Say, I just noticed something. This looks like you. Very flattering. 00:30:31.560 --> 00:30:32.665 Is that the way he sees me? 00:30:32.785 --> 00:30:34.365 Well, it may be a little severe, 00:30:34.485 --> 00:30:36.785 but it shows he was thinking about you anyway. 00:30:36.905 --> 00:30:39.158 Yes, and what he was thinking. Mayo! 00:30:39.765 --> 00:30:42.080 You've only got two today, Mr. Mavis. 00:30:42.275 --> 00:30:46.145 Wasn't Frank here? No, no, he's late. Was there a letter for him? 00:30:46.265 --> 00:30:48.545 No, I just had a new song I wanted him to hear. 00:30:48.620 --> 00:30:50.416 Frank's the only one who listens to me sing. 00:30:50.466 --> 00:30:53.025 Oh, brother, if I got a crush on that man. 00:30:55.439 --> 00:30:58.005 No letter. Oh, but there's got to be one. 00:30:58.125 --> 00:31:00.945 Well, maybe it'll be here on the afternoon mail at three o 'clock. 00:31:01.065 --> 00:31:05.696 If one comes hold it from us. And let's just keep it our secret, shall we? 00:31:12.815 --> 00:31:16.785 Good morning, Mr. Johnson. He didn't show up for work this morning, did he? 00:31:16.905 --> 00:31:19.325 Where's your new pal, Leggett? I haven't the biggest idea. 00:31:19.445 --> 00:31:22.685 I wouldn't get too cozy with that guy if I were you. 00:31:22.805 --> 00:31:24.765 He'd crucify his grandmother for a story. 00:31:24.885 --> 00:31:27.305 I haven't found him as objectionable as you are. 00:31:27.425 --> 00:31:29.425 What right have you prying into my personal life, 00:31:29.515 --> 00:31:31.270 having me followed as if I were a criminal? 00:31:31.345 --> 00:31:33.590 I'm sick of it. I'm sick of you, and I want it stopped. 00:31:33.640 --> 00:31:36.025 Mrs. Johnson, didn't your husband ever beat you? 00:31:36.100 --> 00:31:38.141 Are you going to have these mints about following me? 00:31:38.191 --> 00:31:40.105 The man who killed Joe Gordon isn't stupid. 00:31:40.225 --> 00:31:44.285 If I'm smart enough to use you as a bird dog to lead us to your husband, so is he. 00:31:44.405 --> 00:31:49.536 You may be very happy to have a cop around before this thing's over. That I doubt. 00:31:51.025 --> 00:31:53.405 How could I lose a redhead like that? 00:32:30.095 --> 00:32:33.845 Oh, don't be so grumpy this morning. All I'm trying to do is help you. 00:32:33.965 --> 00:32:36.718 Do you know that you've got a little shadow? 00:32:37.085 --> 00:32:40.925 Huh? Yes, she is. Well, it's a nice morning for a ride. 00:32:42.065 --> 00:32:46.725 Oh, well, by the way, here's your letter. Well, I'll be surprised. Don't be. 00:32:46.845 --> 00:32:49.451 It'll be $10 and an underpaid store clerk can get you anything. 00:32:49.501 --> 00:32:51.950 Don't you worry about it. I'll put it on my expense account. 00:32:52.025 --> 00:32:54.801 But how did you know about it? The menu. You shouldn't have left it. 00:32:54.851 --> 00:32:57.205 It was very careless of you. I have acquisitive eyes. 00:32:57.325 --> 00:33:01.580 Do you always open other people's mail? Mm -hmm. Every chance I get. 00:33:01.700 --> 00:33:04.885 Say, did you get a load of the female impersonator they've got following you? 00:33:05.005 --> 00:33:05.905 No. 00:33:06.795 --> 00:33:09.125 Well, let's duck her and get down to business. 00:33:09.245 --> 00:33:13.813 Hey, Mac, turn left on the next street and then right up the alley. Okay. 00:33:26.710 --> 00:33:28.410 You mean anything to you? Oh, 00:33:28.460 --> 00:33:31.390 a lot of things. Something to go on? I'm not sure. 00:33:31.440 --> 00:33:34.956 What does he mean in there about the doctor and the amputee? 00:33:35.006 --> 00:33:38.757 It's medicine he needs. He has a bad heart. How bad? Bad enough. 00:33:38.807 --> 00:33:41.503 I just found out. He's got to have these pills 00:33:41.553 --> 00:33:43.369 and he can't get them anywhere. 00:33:43.419 --> 00:33:47.463 The police have seen to that. Ah, squeeze play. That Ferris is smart. 00:33:48.725 --> 00:33:51.925 Will he die? I don't know. I spoke to his doctor. 00:33:52.225 --> 00:33:57.385 It isn't serious, only under certain conditions. Well, explain. 00:33:57.772 --> 00:34:02.465 The police will probably read this note, so I can't tell you where I'll be. 00:34:02.585 --> 00:34:03.785 But if you think back, 00:34:03.905 --> 00:34:07.165 you'll know where to find me. What am I, a mind reader? 00:34:07.285 --> 00:34:09.565 It gives you a clue in this next line. 00:34:09.685 --> 00:34:11.325 I'll be out in the open under the sun 00:34:11.445 --> 00:34:13.825 in a place like the one where I first lost you. 00:34:13.945 --> 00:34:17.665 There is no first in things like these. This is kind of obscured. 00:34:17.785 --> 00:34:21.853 Has he always talked to you like this? No, it's our first murder. 00:34:21.973 --> 00:34:25.045 You know, Mrs. J, your husband's a pretty clever guy at that. 00:34:25.165 --> 00:34:28.419 No, you don't think so, but he is. He's testing you. 00:34:28.539 --> 00:34:29.685 He's asking you to admit 00:34:29.805 --> 00:34:32.425 that your marriage is a failure and that it's your fault. 00:34:32.545 --> 00:34:35.585 He's saying that he understands you, but that you don't understand him. 00:34:35.705 --> 00:34:37.405 Now listen, Mr. Leggett of the graphic. 00:34:37.525 --> 00:34:40.591 I've had just about enough of the all -wise male. 00:34:40.711 --> 00:34:43.005 In the past ten hours, I've met three men. 00:34:43.125 --> 00:34:45.725 Three men who, all put together, haven't known Frank 00:34:45.845 --> 00:34:48.065 for one fraction of the length of time I have. 00:34:48.185 --> 00:34:50.405 Yet they all know him better than I do. 00:34:50.525 --> 00:34:53.405 Well, along the way, I found out a few things myself. 00:34:53.525 --> 00:34:56.405 I found out how Frank Johnson really feels about me. 00:34:56.525 --> 00:35:00.125 That at the first chance, his first excuse, he took off, ran. 00:35:00.245 --> 00:35:03.425 That he didn't even think enough of me to confide in me that he was ill. 00:35:03.545 --> 00:35:05.905 Then at the store, in the faces of those mannequins, 00:35:06.025 --> 00:35:08.028 I saw what he really sees in me. 00:35:08.148 --> 00:35:10.685 All right, it's okay if that's the way he feels about it. 00:35:10.805 --> 00:35:15.498 But if he wants his ampules, he'll have to come out of hiding and get them. 00:35:16.035 --> 00:35:20.448 What did you have for breakfast? Cigarette and coffee? Cigarette. I thought so. 00:35:20.568 --> 00:35:23.425 Take us over to Lancy's on Powell. Lancy's? OK. 00:35:23.545 --> 00:35:27.757 This place has the best waffles in town. Butter in every little square. 00:35:27.877 --> 00:35:30.063 View is always better on a full tummy. 00:35:31.905 --> 00:35:34.283 How about another one? Oh, no, thanks. 00:35:34.795 --> 00:35:39.365 Now that I've got you softened up, Mrs. J, there's something I have to tell you. 00:35:39.485 --> 00:35:40.745 You have to find your husband. 00:35:40.865 --> 00:35:43.365 no not for the money I promise you are my story 00:35:43.485 --> 00:35:47.405 but for yourself. He's challenged you. You've got to accept 00:35:47.525 --> 00:35:49.729 it or admit he's right. I really would like to find him 00:35:49.825 --> 00:35:52.085 if only I could decide for the riddle in this letter 00:35:52.205 --> 00:35:54.825 together we can do it that letter's like like 00:35:54.945 --> 00:35:57.385 drawing a graph. One line is to Tracy's movements 00:35:57.505 --> 00:35:59.785 from last night. The other leads back into the past, 00:35:59.905 --> 00:36:01.885 but you have to remember where they cross 00:36:02.005 --> 00:36:05.785 that's where your husband is you need a manicure. 00:36:06.665 --> 00:36:07.565 So I do. 00:36:07.685 --> 00:36:09.705 You know, this is the first time in my life 00:36:09.825 --> 00:36:12.005 I ever insisted on helping a woman find her husband. 00:36:12.125 --> 00:36:17.319 That I believe. By the way, what do people call you besides Leggett at the graphic? 00:36:17.745 --> 00:36:21.325 Oh, people that like me call me Danny Boy. 00:36:24.845 --> 00:36:25.945 Okay, Danny Boy. 00:36:29.805 --> 00:36:33.825 Fisherman's war frank used to come here a lot I remember once 00:36:33.945 --> 00:36:38.205 he did a watercolor of a boat a fisherman admired it so frank just gave 00:36:38.325 --> 00:36:42.137 it to him. Not to be outdone, the fisherman gave Frank a big sword 00:36:42.257 --> 00:36:46.485 fish I made a remark about the joys of living for the barter system 00:36:46.605 --> 00:36:48.213 and we had a bitter quarrel. 00:36:48.333 --> 00:36:50.537 But it certainly wasn't the first one. 00:36:50.657 --> 00:36:53.065 Do you think Frank was referring to a quarrel 00:36:53.185 --> 00:36:57.534 when he said where I first lost you? What else? Another one started up here 00:36:57.654 --> 00:37:01.228 on Telegraph Hill. Frank did a canvas of the harbor from here 00:37:01.348 --> 00:37:02.785 that I thought was wonderful. 00:37:02.905 --> 00:37:07.194 When I told him so, he insinuated that my taste in art ran to calendars. 00:37:07.314 --> 00:37:11.603 I said my taste was my own, and I wanted the paint. So he gave it to me. 00:37:11.723 --> 00:37:13.778 But he signed it, Eleanor's husband. 00:37:14.333 --> 00:37:15.585 Without telling him, 00:37:15.705 --> 00:37:18.925 I entered into the contest they were having here at the art gallery. 00:37:19.045 --> 00:37:21.861 The oil by Eleanor's husband won first prize. 00:37:22.385 --> 00:37:23.285 $500. 00:37:23.885 --> 00:37:27.693 But do you think Frank was pleased when he found out? Oh, no. 00:37:27.743 --> 00:37:32.371 He refused the money and withdrew the painting. Said he wasn't ready yet. 00:37:32.491 --> 00:37:35.113 Sounds pretty stubborn. Stupidly stubborn. 00:37:35.434 --> 00:37:38.625 I wonder if he ever really wanted to be successful. 00:37:38.745 --> 00:37:41.365 Soon after that, he took the job at Hart and Winston's. 00:37:41.440 --> 00:37:43.113 You know, the only thing we know for sure 00:37:43.163 --> 00:37:46.225 is that Frank was at the Oriental Gardens last night. 00:37:46.345 --> 00:37:48.065 We're in the neighborhood. Let's drop in. 00:37:48.140 --> 00:37:49.430 Yeah, he sat around the dressing room 00:37:49.505 --> 00:37:51.290 until we came down to do the one o 'clock show. 00:37:51.365 --> 00:37:54.390 Then he said he was going to make a phone call. Then Frank wrote the letter. 00:37:54.465 --> 00:37:56.540 He said to get in touch with you, that he was going 00:37:56.590 --> 00:37:58.591 to send the letter to a store, care of Mr. Mavis. 00:37:58.666 --> 00:38:02.345 Haven't I seen you someplace before? Shouldn't be surprised. I've been there. 00:38:02.439 --> 00:38:05.010 But didn't he say what he was going to do or where he might go? 00:38:05.085 --> 00:38:08.405 I didn't want to pump him. Say, why don't you try Sullivan? Who's Sullivan? 00:38:08.480 --> 00:38:11.378 He's a grandmick. Runs a bar across the street. Come on, I'll show you. 00:38:11.428 --> 00:38:15.125 You can go down the back stairs. Now I know where I've seen you before. 00:38:15.245 --> 00:38:17.745 Last night. Sure, I was in with Mrs. Johnson. 00:38:17.865 --> 00:38:20.065 No, I mean the picture that Frank drew. 00:38:20.185 --> 00:38:21.085 Picture? 00:38:22.095 --> 00:38:25.385 What picture? Of me? Well, it looks something like you. 00:38:25.505 --> 00:38:27.885 You know how Frank's always drawing pictures. 00:38:28.005 --> 00:38:30.946 Did he say who this man was? No, no, he didn't. 00:38:31.066 --> 00:38:34.345 I wonder if I should have told the cops about it. Oh, well, they'll be back. 00:38:34.465 --> 00:38:37.531 The man that was in said so. Susie, quit yakking. 00:38:37.651 --> 00:38:41.205 Oh, do you still have the picture? Maybe I could run it in the paper. 00:38:41.325 --> 00:38:44.105 Yeah, it's upstairs in my dressing room. I better keep it, though. 00:38:44.225 --> 00:38:47.667 Hey, Leggett, are you sure you want to help find Frank? 00:38:48.425 --> 00:38:52.805 Say, don't forget that plug in the paper about us. We can sure use it. 00:38:54.185 --> 00:38:57.925 Okay, take it from the top I've got to see our agent 00:39:16.105 --> 00:39:19.547 heard about this place for years. Never been here before. 00:39:26.915 --> 00:39:31.014 What do you have, folks? You hungry? Specialty today, condies and cabbage, 00:39:31.064 --> 00:39:35.110 Or egg for you? No food. Gin over rocks for the lady and old fashioned for me. 00:39:35.160 --> 00:39:38.014 I think I'll call a paper and see if anything's broken. 00:39:38.064 --> 00:39:40.191 You can get more out of him alone anyway. 00:39:40.625 --> 00:39:45.318 Sir, why don't you wear a hat? I look funny in hats. You know you're right. 00:39:46.825 --> 00:39:47.725 What is it? 00:39:52.305 --> 00:39:53.995 No, I didn't drop a nickel. 00:40:12.115 --> 00:40:15.625 Mrs. Johnson. Frank was in here last night, just before closing time. 00:40:15.745 --> 00:40:16.969 Did he say where he was going? 00:40:17.085 --> 00:40:19.465 No, he didn't. Just bought ten bucks is all. 00:40:19.550 --> 00:40:20.530 Maybe I should tell you. 00:40:20.605 --> 00:40:23.905 There was a couple of fellas in here this morning asking about Frank. 00:40:24.025 --> 00:40:27.245 Fellas that you couldn't very well say, mind your own business to. 00:40:27.365 --> 00:40:30.165 Is he in some sort of trouble, Mrs. Johnson? Some. 00:40:30.285 --> 00:40:33.165 He didn't come home last night. They're all alike. 00:40:33.285 --> 00:40:35.976 I've been looking for mine for three years. 00:40:36.922 --> 00:40:38.925 I'm glad I finally met you, Mom. 00:40:39.045 --> 00:40:41.845 I often wondered what kind of a woman Frank was married to. 00:40:41.965 --> 00:40:45.085 Not that I imagined he was too easy to live with, being so quiet 00:40:45.205 --> 00:40:47.745 and moody and strange at times, for instance. 00:40:47.865 --> 00:40:50.825 Now look at this picture. Look at the date he put on it. 00:40:50.945 --> 00:40:54.485 Frank painted this for me about six months ago. It was on St. Patrick's Day. 00:40:54.605 --> 00:40:57.805 But look at the date on it. March 17, 1947. 00:40:58.974 --> 00:41:01.665 Well, I suppose it's an artist's privilege. 00:41:01.785 --> 00:41:04.038 March 17th, that's Frank's birthday. 00:41:04.405 --> 00:41:05.305 1947. 00:41:06.844 --> 00:41:09.785 We spent the day on the beach at Cypress Point. 00:41:09.905 --> 00:41:13.425 Then we suddenly decided we had to see the sunset from the top of the mark. 00:41:13.545 --> 00:41:16.549 So we drove to San Francisco. We had a car then. 00:41:16.669 --> 00:41:20.445 We had champagne cocktails and watched the sunset over the Golden Gate. 00:41:20.565 --> 00:41:23.545 After all, it was Frank's birthday and St. Patrick's. 00:41:23.665 --> 00:41:27.325 We had a beautiful dinner at Andre's and Café Diablo at Amigos. 00:41:27.445 --> 00:41:31.185 Then we drove back to Carmel in the softest moonlight I've ever known. 00:41:31.305 --> 00:41:32.774 Ah, there's nothing like being young 00:41:32.865 --> 00:41:36.565 and in love. And daft. To boot. What? Daft. 00:41:36.685 --> 00:41:40.885 To boot. Well, I get people entitled to do crazy things on their birthday. 00:41:41.005 --> 00:41:43.545 This year we didn't. I went to a movie. 00:41:44.185 --> 00:41:46.959 Frank came down here and painted that picture. 00:41:47.079 --> 00:41:48.708 Now I know what Frank meant 00:41:48.828 --> 00:41:52.627 when he said someone should have been in that picture with him. 00:42:11.155 --> 00:42:13.985 I have a notion if your husband could have seen your face 00:42:14.105 --> 00:42:16.945 when you were telling him about that birthday party in 1947. 00:42:17.020 --> 00:42:18.938 He'd have painted you right smack in the middle 00:42:18.988 --> 00:42:21.025 of that picture with his arms around you. 00:42:21.145 --> 00:42:24.405 Ah, sorry, Ursula. Oh, Mr. Leggett of the graphic, Mr. Sullivan. 00:42:24.525 --> 00:42:26.305 He's helping me look for Frank. 00:42:26.425 --> 00:42:30.931 Hi. Freshen up a little, will you? A hole of garbage. You? No, I'm fine. 00:42:32.345 --> 00:42:35.536 Get something? Something I hadn't counted on. What? 00:42:36.085 --> 00:42:37.399 Frank still loves me. 00:42:37.905 --> 00:42:40.971 That's a big help. I think so. If it'll help any. 00:42:41.091 --> 00:42:43.605 Frank asked me how early the Army and Navy stores opened. 00:42:43.725 --> 00:42:45.785 Store is open, the one that's down on the Embarcadero. 00:42:45.905 --> 00:42:50.005 Oh, he's getting smart. He's changed his clothes. What do you say we cover it? 00:42:50.125 --> 00:42:51.025 Oh, I, uh... 00:42:51.135 --> 00:42:53.605 I'm sorry I was so rude a moment ago, 00:42:53.680 --> 00:42:56.741 but it's always discouraging to hear a wife say that her husband loves her. 00:42:56.791 --> 00:43:00.667 What do you write? Comic strips? Never more serious in my life. 00:43:00.787 --> 00:43:04.265 What's the damages? Oh, it's on the house. I'll hope you find him, Mr. Johnson. 00:43:04.385 --> 00:43:05.285 Thanks. 00:43:05.905 --> 00:43:07.344 No use looking, honey. 00:43:08.965 --> 00:43:11.345 Once they're gone, they're gone. 00:43:18.865 --> 00:43:20.865 (music playing) 00:43:29.968 --> 00:43:33.785 How did it happen? I was walking along and she almost hit me. 00:43:33.905 --> 00:43:37.535 She must have fell from the oriental roof garden up there. 00:43:38.585 --> 00:43:41.776 Who is she? She's one of the dancers from the show. 00:43:46.105 --> 00:43:48.845 Maybe a drink, Sammy? It helps sometimes. 00:43:49.765 --> 00:43:50.665 No, thanks. 00:43:51.565 --> 00:43:56.105 Hi, Sammy. Let him alone, can't you? I just heard about it. I'm sorry. 00:43:56.965 --> 00:43:59.030 I can't understand it, Inspector. 00:43:59.377 --> 00:44:03.445 Susie was happy. We were doing great. There was no reason for it. 00:44:03.565 --> 00:44:07.405 Sometimes we don't know what makes people tick, even the ones closest to us. 00:44:07.525 --> 00:44:11.565 I just can't believe she killed herself. Well, maybe she didn't. 00:44:11.925 --> 00:44:13.225 Inspector, how else... 00:44:13.345 --> 00:44:16.085 Been robbery. She might have surprised somebody 00:44:16.205 --> 00:44:18.165 in the dressing room. Did you check her stuff, see 00:44:18.285 --> 00:44:20.965 if anything was missing no we'll do it now 00:44:27.915 --> 00:44:30.325 We've been through almost all of these places 00:44:30.445 --> 00:44:33.136 and we still haven't found a lead on Frank. 00:45:02.842 --> 00:45:07.285 Mind if I look at this coat? That's a man's coat. Mind if I look at it? 00:45:07.405 --> 00:45:08.305 Look at it. Hey, Darling 00:45:08.755 --> 00:45:12.085 That's Frank's coat. Where did you get it? None of your business. 00:45:12.205 --> 00:45:14.505 But that's my husband's coat. No, it ain't. It's mine. 00:45:14.580 --> 00:45:15.927 The fella came in here and traded 00:45:15.977 --> 00:45:18.505 that coat for four dollars for a pea jacket and a cap. 00:45:18.625 --> 00:45:21.465 When? When I opened up this morning. Where'd he go? How do I know? 00:45:21.585 --> 00:45:25.903 I just sell stuff. I don't watch people. Shut the door as you go out. 00:46:05.725 --> 00:46:06.625 Look. 00:46:10.805 --> 00:46:15.436 Well, wouldn't you know, there he is, just like nothing had happened. Huh? 00:46:24.425 --> 00:46:25.325 Frank. 00:46:26.365 --> 00:46:29.265 Can I beg pardon? Oh, I'm sorry. 00:46:41.335 --> 00:46:44.705 I never knew there were so many land -going sailors in the world. 00:46:44.825 --> 00:46:47.954 All of them wearing pea jackets and seaman's caps. 00:46:52.585 --> 00:46:53.485 Beat, huh? 00:46:55.185 --> 00:46:58.665 I might as well admit it. I can't remember. No, thanks. 00:46:59.185 --> 00:47:01.938 There's not much sun left to find him under. 00:47:03.205 --> 00:47:07.648 If you think back, he said in his letter, you'll know where to find me. 00:47:11.661 --> 00:47:14.665 Danny, maybe if I'm alone I can figure this out. 00:47:14.785 --> 00:47:18.445 I've got to go home anyway and feed the dog. He's been locked up all day. 00:47:18.565 --> 00:47:21.631 Oh, sure, sure. I could meet you later someplace. 00:47:21.706 --> 00:47:23.788 How about picking me up at the corner of Montgomery 00:47:23.838 --> 00:47:27.585 and Union Streets when you're ready? It's not much out of your way. All right. 00:47:27.705 --> 00:47:29.645 I'll meet you there in an hour. 00:47:31.905 --> 00:47:36.765 Uh -oh looks like your shadows finally caught up with you 00:47:48.105 --> 00:47:51.685 Are you tired as I am I Beg your pardon come on. 00:47:51.805 --> 00:47:55.485 There's no need for spending two cab fares. We might as well go together. 00:47:55.605 --> 00:47:58.897 But well. Oh, come on. At least we'll have someone to talk to. 00:48:16.205 --> 00:48:18.245 At the taxpayer, I thank you. 00:48:31.525 --> 00:48:34.785 Hello, Rembrandt I'll be with you in a minute Hi 00:48:36.965 --> 00:48:40.625 What, you again? Who let you in? Landlord, do you mind? 00:48:40.925 --> 00:48:43.385 Oh, no, make yourself at home I love 00:48:43.505 --> 00:48:45.445 having cops move in on me Where's the letter? 00:48:45.520 --> 00:48:47.650 Don't pretend you don't know what I'm talking about About, I mean, 00:48:47.725 --> 00:48:50.378 the letter your pal picked up at Hart and Winston's this morning. 00:48:50.428 --> 00:48:54.778 I want it. He's all knows all, except where Frank is and who the killer is. 00:48:54.898 --> 00:48:59.205 Why don't you go back to jail or wherever it is you live and leave me alone? Oh, no. 00:48:59.325 --> 00:49:00.405 The America round's over. 00:49:00.525 --> 00:49:03.425 This case is going cold on me, and you're the only live thing in it. 00:49:03.545 --> 00:49:07.175 So from now on, I'm sticking with you. That's just peachy. 00:49:07.605 --> 00:49:11.822 Oh, I'm bushed. You ought to be. You covered a lot of territory today. 00:49:11.942 --> 00:49:15.315 My men are bullish, too. You should be more considerate. 00:49:15.435 --> 00:49:19.065 Can you make anything out of this letter? It's pretty cryptic. 00:49:19.185 --> 00:49:22.965 Not yet, but I'm working on it. It sounds like a guy in love. 00:49:24.045 --> 00:49:25.945 You think so? Yeah. 00:49:27.345 --> 00:49:29.765 I'll be out in the open, under the sun, 00:49:29.885 --> 00:49:32.801 in a place like the one where I first lost you. 00:49:32.921 --> 00:49:37.389 That kind of lays it right in your lap. Doesn't it mean anything to you? 00:49:37.509 --> 00:49:42.225 I wish it did. I'm glad you're not bringing me my medicine. Oh, don't worry. 00:49:42.385 --> 00:49:48.285 I'll find it. And I'll be right there with you when you do. Where you go, I go. 00:49:51.885 --> 00:49:56.265 Would you insist upon going with me if I walked the dog? I walked him. 00:49:56.385 --> 00:50:00.056 Anyway, there's a man out front, one in back, and one on the roof. Fine. 00:50:00.106 --> 00:50:01.290 I'm staying right here, then. 00:50:01.365 --> 00:50:03.324 So am I. We'll just wait till your husband comes 00:50:03.374 --> 00:50:05.705 to you, or you can't stand the strain any longer, 00:50:05.825 --> 00:50:06.725 and go to him. 00:50:07.265 --> 00:50:11.645 Look, Mr. Ferris. Maybe you were right in some of the things you said. 00:50:11.765 --> 00:50:14.425 Today I discovered a lot about Frank I never knew before. 00:50:14.545 --> 00:50:17.765 In one day, what you couldn't find out in four years? 00:50:17.885 --> 00:50:22.325 I guess I was the one that was mixed up. A lot of it's my fault anyway. 00:50:22.445 --> 00:50:23.985 I haven't been much of a wife. 00:50:24.105 --> 00:50:27.547 Well, that's quite an admission from you, Mrs. Johnson. 00:50:27.667 --> 00:50:30.165 Please, you've got to give me a chance to see Frank alone 00:50:30.285 --> 00:50:31.605 and give him his medicine. 00:50:31.725 --> 00:50:34.345 Then if he wants to come in and testify, that's up to him. 00:50:34.465 --> 00:50:38.425 But it's got to be his choice. I won't try to influence him one way or the other. 00:50:38.500 --> 00:50:42.265 Whatever he does is all right with me. But you've got to let me see him alone first. 00:50:42.385 --> 00:50:45.445 I believe you, and I'd like to help you, but I'm a cop. 00:50:45.565 --> 00:50:50.071 If Frank keeps on running, I'll have no witness to say nothing of a job. 00:50:54.265 --> 00:50:55.165 He's hungry. 00:50:55.285 --> 00:50:58.885 Couldn't you have fed him, too? I couldn't figure out how to work a can opener. 00:50:59.005 --> 00:51:00.319 Can I use your phone? 00:51:08.105 --> 00:51:10.108 Hello, Ferris. Anything to mint? 00:51:11.425 --> 00:51:16.056 Keep it going till we get results. I think we're getting warm. Sure there? 00:51:17.125 --> 00:51:18.025 Put him on. 00:51:27.445 --> 00:51:29.445 (music playing) 00:52:16.625 --> 00:52:20.192 I'm sorry, Rembrandt. It's the only thing I can think of. 00:52:30.825 --> 00:52:32.625 Mr. Ferris? Yeah? 00:52:34.715 --> 00:52:37.185 I'm worried about Rembrandt. He was so hungry, 00:52:37.305 --> 00:52:38.705 and now he won't touch his food. 00:52:38.825 --> 00:52:39.725 That's funny. 00:52:41.726 --> 00:52:46.545 When his nose is so hot, maybe I'd better take him to the vet. I'll take him. 00:52:46.665 --> 00:52:48.355 I like dogs. Oh, thank you. 00:52:49.045 --> 00:52:49.984 Get your shoes. 00:52:53.775 --> 00:52:56.905 His temperature is normal. In fact, he seems to be in perfect health. 00:52:57.025 --> 00:53:00.125 But I'm worried about him, Doctor. He won't eat. Maybe he isn't hungry. 00:53:00.245 --> 00:53:03.445 Perhaps he should stay here for a few days for observation. 00:53:03.565 --> 00:53:05.785 May I take a look at your exercise yard? Oh, yes. 00:53:05.905 --> 00:53:08.385 Right out that door across the hall. A doctor. 00:53:08.505 --> 00:53:11.196 See if you can't coax him to eat something. 00:53:15.745 --> 00:53:19.645 Doctor, I wish you'd look at Emmeline. I'm not the doctor. 00:53:19.765 --> 00:53:22.541 I'm here for treatment myself. I beg your pardon? 00:53:22.591 --> 00:53:25.039 Your wife thinks you ought to leave the dog for observation. 00:53:25.089 --> 00:53:26.289 That woman's not my wife. 00:53:39.755 --> 00:53:42.865 Sirius was there when I got back. He knew about Frank's letter. 00:53:42.985 --> 00:53:45.305 That doesn't surprise me. I knew he'd check that. 00:53:45.425 --> 00:53:48.845 Danny, I've been thinking. Why did Frank send it to Hart and Winston? 00:53:48.965 --> 00:53:52.185 He didn't want to intercept it. Why not leave it with Sammy Chung, then? 00:53:52.305 --> 00:53:55.945 Or give it to anybody he knew who'd bring it to me? Why Mavis at the store? 00:53:56.065 --> 00:53:58.445 You mean you think there's a reason, something you missed? 00:53:58.565 --> 00:54:01.819 Yes, something I didn't see. Something I overlooked. 00:54:02.105 --> 00:54:04.733 Driver, take us to Hart and Winston. Okay. 00:54:18.925 --> 00:54:20.705 Weary, bitter, cynical. 00:54:26.845 --> 00:54:30.125 Fresh, eager, and hopeful. The two Eleanors. 00:54:32.085 --> 00:54:33.205 Now I remember. 00:54:33.325 --> 00:54:35.145 One day on the beach at Carmel, 00:54:35.265 --> 00:54:37.905 just after we were married, Frank made a mermaid out of sand. 00:54:38.025 --> 00:54:40.885 It was supposed to be me. And a big wave came up and washed it away. 00:54:41.005 --> 00:54:43.177 And he said, well, I've lost you. And I said, 00:54:43.227 --> 00:54:44.370 you'll never lose me, Frank. 00:54:44.445 --> 00:54:47.347 I won't let you. That's what he meant in the letter. It wasn't a quarrel. 00:54:47.397 --> 00:54:50.305 This means something to you. You know where he is? I'll take you there. 00:54:50.425 --> 00:54:52.865 Inspector Paris wants to see you. Why? Look, 00:54:52.985 --> 00:54:55.265 he wants to see you. Where? Later. 00:55:31.095 --> 00:55:34.169 I'm sorry to have to ask you to do this, Mrs. Johnson. 00:55:34.289 --> 00:55:38.298 This man was found in an alley behind a gin mill on the Embarcadero. 00:55:38.418 --> 00:55:40.482 He'd been brutally beaten to death. 00:55:40.602 --> 00:55:42.488 He wasn't wearing a trench coat, 00:55:42.608 --> 00:55:45.261 but he was wearing a seaman's cap and jacket. 00:55:45.546 --> 00:55:48.939 From what I remember of your husband, it could be him. 00:55:49.059 --> 00:55:49.959 I'm not sure. 00:55:50.805 --> 00:55:54.309 So I'll have to ask you to make positive identification. 00:56:25.265 --> 00:56:26.265 Let her alone. 00:56:27.465 --> 00:56:30.845 There goes the Freeman case. Two witnesses. 00:56:31.705 --> 00:56:32.685 Two dead men. 00:56:34.065 --> 00:56:36.130 That's the way it goes sometimes. 00:56:42.485 --> 00:56:46.177 I don't know anything that I could say would just be words. 00:56:51.485 --> 00:56:53.049 Danny, that wasn't Frank. 00:56:53.776 --> 00:56:54.965 For a quick moment, 00:56:55.085 --> 00:56:58.245 I thought it was, and I felt things I didn't know I could feel. 00:56:58.365 --> 00:57:02.445 What was I holding out for? Why didn't I learn to understand him? 00:57:03.385 --> 00:57:06.514 Why don't we give freely of ourselves when we can? 00:57:07.445 --> 00:57:12.576 If only I had another chance, I thought. Then I saw it wasn't Frank and I fainted. 00:57:13.405 --> 00:57:15.658 Congratulations on your performance. 00:57:16.565 --> 00:57:19.131 But it wasn't an act. I really did faint. 00:57:20.765 --> 00:57:21.665 Where is he? 00:57:22.525 --> 00:57:24.715 At the amusement park at the beach. 00:57:38.105 --> 00:57:41.252 You were there when it happened. Why can't you talk? 00:57:41.372 --> 00:57:47.185 That Johnson dame's a smart cookie. Yeah. I wonder where she got the idea of passing 00:57:47.305 --> 00:57:52.105 that stiff off as her husband somebody had pass him off sure the guy 00:57:52.225 --> 00:57:54.491 she identified was a second mate off 00:57:54.611 --> 00:57:56.685 a tanker. Just been paid off. Somebody rolled him 00:57:56.805 --> 00:58:01.585 for his dough. Why wasn't I told? The fingerprint report just came. Kick me 00:58:01.705 --> 00:58:04.725 for a knucklehead. Get down to the taxi stand. Check 00:58:04.845 --> 00:58:06.448 and find out where they took her. 00:58:23.185 --> 00:58:27.190 Hey Mac watch my cat we don't want to get a hamburger. Okay, but 00:58:43.365 --> 00:58:44.804 Put this on right away. 00:58:46.598 --> 00:58:48.263 All units in the Bay Area, 00:58:48.383 --> 00:58:51.520 be on the lookout for one yellow cab, number 323. 00:58:51.640 --> 00:58:54.585 License number in the 7 column, 49 Frank, 762. 00:58:54.865 --> 00:58:58.495 Left Hall of Justice, approximately 6 .30 p .m. this date. 00:59:07.025 --> 00:59:10.842 Right down there, beyond that railing at the Sands Club. 00:59:14.275 --> 00:59:17.933 He's been waiting for me all day, thinking I wouldn't remember. 00:59:18.053 --> 00:59:22.905 I almost didn't. I know. What is it? I couldn't talk to him there. 00:59:23.025 --> 00:59:26.805 There's too many people around. I couldn't get the kind of story I want. 00:59:26.925 --> 00:59:29.967 I know where I can meet him, but nobody will bother me. 00:59:34.665 --> 00:59:36.668 Oh, look at the sand sculptures. 00:59:36.788 --> 00:59:40.545 I had an uncle that used to make statues. Only he made them out of ice. 00:59:40.665 --> 00:59:43.919 A small donation for the artist will be appreciated. 00:59:44.165 --> 00:59:45.065 Here you are. 00:59:46.405 --> 00:59:47.305 Thank you. 01:00:20.345 --> 01:00:21.245 Yeah. 01:00:24.545 --> 01:00:26.485 This thing's beginning to boil. 01:00:26.605 --> 01:00:27.857 We'll be right down. 01:00:28.089 --> 01:00:31.084 We're going to the beach. Come on, Rembrandt. 01:00:31.204 --> 01:00:34.465 What my eyes miss, your nose will smell. Come on. 01:01:03.145 --> 01:01:04.647 I don't like this place. 01:01:05.805 --> 01:01:06.814 It's a good spot. 01:01:06.864 --> 01:01:09.842 I used to come here with a girl when I was a kid. 01:01:09.962 --> 01:01:12.098 It's more frightening than romantic. 01:01:12.439 --> 01:01:15.005 That's the way love is when you're young. 01:01:15.125 --> 01:01:16.752 Life is when you're older. 01:01:17.105 --> 01:01:18.982 I'll tell Frank where you are. 01:01:20.335 --> 01:01:24.985 You sure you want to start over again with your husband? I'm sure I want to try. 01:01:25.105 --> 01:01:29.085 I'm not sure what he wants. I'm supposing he doesn't want to. Then I'll let him go. 01:01:29.205 --> 01:01:31.833 go. He'll never know how I feel about him. 01:01:33.025 --> 01:01:36.467 You think people can turn back and you're going to try. 01:01:36.605 --> 01:01:37.505 I know better. 01:01:38.425 --> 01:01:43.682 You're too cynical. It's your profession. It's too late now to change my profession. 01:01:43.905 --> 01:01:44.805 Okay. 01:01:45.685 --> 01:01:48.438 Go ahead, send him here. I'll bring him. No. 01:01:50.185 --> 01:01:53.877 What's the matter with you? Don't you still want the story? 01:01:54.045 --> 01:01:57.845 I guess I gotta have the story, but my way. 01:01:59.139 --> 01:02:02.205 You send him back. I want to see him alone first. 01:02:02.325 --> 01:02:05.105 If you want the money, I'll talk to him alone. All right. 01:02:05.225 --> 01:02:08.041 If that's the way you want it, I'll send him. 01:02:36.415 --> 01:02:39.985 Tell us, get over there and cover the pier side. Yes, right, sir. You get up there. 01:02:40.105 --> 01:02:43.265 Make like a gate. If Johnson tries to come through, arrest him. Watch out. 01:02:43.385 --> 01:02:45.465 We're failing to curb his dog in a public park. 01:02:45.585 --> 01:02:48.401 I'm coming in from the other end of the pier. 01:02:53.365 --> 01:02:54.265 Hey. 01:02:55.005 --> 01:02:56.069 How are we doing? 01:02:56.845 --> 01:02:57.745 771. Huh? 01:02:57.855 --> 01:03:02.745 That's better than I do on some Sundays. Thanks for taking care of things. 01:03:02.865 --> 01:03:04.947 You know, it's the first day I've had off in years. 01:03:05.045 --> 01:03:07.045 You know what I've been doing all day? 01:03:07.165 --> 01:03:08.465 Riding back and forth and back 01:03:08.585 --> 01:03:11.685 and forth, back and forth between here and Sausalito on my old ferry boat. 01:03:11.805 --> 01:03:15.065 Look, I can't stick around here anymore. I've got to get out of here. 01:03:15.185 --> 01:03:17.876 Hey, Cap, I hate to ask you, but... But do. 01:03:20.425 --> 01:03:21.927 Won't take you very far. 01:03:22.485 --> 01:03:25.056 Here's the keys to my car and the ticket. 01:03:25.176 --> 01:03:29.001 Find it over in the parkway. Tank's full. Thanks, Cap. 01:03:29.121 --> 01:03:31.378 I'll get it back to you. You better. 01:04:02.945 --> 01:04:05.511 Where's Frank? What happened to him? Who? 01:04:05.965 --> 01:04:06.865 Frank Johnson. 01:04:07.765 --> 01:04:08.954 Never heard of him. 01:04:25.169 --> 01:04:27.985 Sorry, Mrs. Johnson, but I had to be careful. 01:04:28.060 --> 01:04:30.427 Frank waited all day and said he couldn't wait any longer. 01:04:30.477 --> 01:04:33.185 So I loaned him my car about five minutes ago. Where'd you go? 01:04:33.305 --> 01:04:37.435 Over at the parking lot at the other end of the midway. Thank you. 01:04:44.225 --> 01:04:45.789 I lost a bet with myself. 01:04:46.365 --> 01:04:47.617 Did you want to win? 01:04:51.525 --> 01:04:52.902 As ordered, delivered. 01:04:53.525 --> 01:04:55.785 Late as usual. But delivered. 01:04:58.985 --> 01:05:00.675 Let's get out of the light. 01:05:02.945 --> 01:05:05.573 Keep an eye out for us, will you, Captain? 01:05:15.122 --> 01:05:17.625 Why didn't you tell me about your heart? 01:05:17.745 --> 01:05:21.375 Oh, you know, doctors, they make a big deal of everything. 01:05:21.835 --> 01:05:25.068 Guess it was a silly thing to do, writing that corny note. 01:05:25.188 --> 01:05:28.397 It sounded like you'd had a couple of drinks. I have. 01:05:28.517 --> 01:05:31.364 By the time I finish the drinks and the letter, 01:05:31.484 --> 01:05:33.240 I was a pretty sad character. 01:05:34.345 --> 01:05:37.774 Well, I can't hide out here forever. Would you want to? 01:05:37.894 --> 01:05:42.195 Want to? I'd get a job in another town, huh? Pretty fair window trimmer. 01:05:42.315 --> 01:05:44.372 You're a pretty good artist, too. 01:05:44.492 --> 01:05:46.362 We've got to pull out of this. 01:05:47.885 --> 01:05:52.425 We? Yes. If this excitement hasn't killed you, I'm sure I can't. 01:05:52.728 --> 01:05:56.545 We'll get out of town when you'll be safe. Can't go very far. 01:05:56.665 --> 01:05:59.965 I've got $7.71. Borrowed that from the captain. 01:06:00.085 --> 01:06:03.965 There's a fella named Leggett, a reporter from the graphic. He helped me find you. 01:06:04.085 --> 01:06:06.825 He's promised to give you $1 ,000 for an exclusive. 01:06:06.900 --> 01:06:08.859 That's a lot of money for the little I can tell. 01:06:08.909 --> 01:06:12.305 Well, his paper must think it's worth it, so buy a little gift horse in the mouth. 01:06:12.425 --> 01:06:15.125 Where is he? Over by the roller coaster. Come on, I'll show you. 01:06:15.245 --> 01:06:20.376 Hey, you, turn around. You know an artist named Frank Johnson? Who? Frank Johnson. 01:06:21.145 --> 01:06:26.105 An artist. Get a sketch of you. I saw it could be but I don't remember. 01:06:26.785 --> 01:06:30.725 Oh, see I just work here used to be a ferryboat captain though. 01:06:49.695 --> 01:06:53.205 Over there, under the roller coaster Go all the way at the end of the walk 01:06:53.325 --> 01:06:56.816 and duck in under the scaffold. Okay. Here's a ticket and keys for the captain's 01:06:56.866 --> 01:06:59.071 car It's parked down at that end of the main road Yes, 01:06:59.121 --> 01:07:01.685 I know Well, I'll meet you there No, I'd better bring it here. 01:07:01.805 --> 01:07:06.311 You've got to stay out of sight. I can't let anything happen to you now. 01:07:10.165 --> 01:07:11.980 Nothing can happen to me now. 01:07:12.645 --> 01:07:14.648 Remember that man's shot at you 01:07:15.445 --> 01:07:20.451 How did you know that wasn't in the paper? Ferris told me. Nobody else knows it. 01:07:20.725 --> 01:07:23.228 No, it was the guy that fired the shots. 01:07:32.245 --> 01:07:33.497 You'd better go now. 01:07:34.385 --> 01:07:36.262 I'll be back as soon as I can. 01:07:40.934 --> 01:07:43.625 Hey, Mark. The prowl car out at the answers 01:07:43.745 --> 01:07:45.325 just got word for you to call in. 01:07:45.445 --> 01:07:47.260 Johnson hasn't passed me yet. 01:08:00.295 --> 01:08:04.605 Oh, I haven't got time to talk to him now. That's McDonald and Murray's case. 01:08:04.725 --> 01:08:08.229 But he says he has some information you wanted. Hold on. 01:08:09.421 --> 01:08:10.485 Hello, Inspector. 01:08:10.560 --> 01:08:12.927 Remember he asked me to check all of Susie's things to see 01:08:12.977 --> 01:08:16.085 if anything was missing. Sammy, I'm busy. I'll see you tomorrow. 01:08:16.160 --> 01:08:18.242 I just wanted to tell you that nothing was missing. 01:08:18.292 --> 01:08:21.825 Except that sketch that Frank drew on the back of a menu. Sketch of who? 01:08:21.945 --> 01:08:22.705 I don't know. 01:08:22.825 --> 01:08:24.785 But Susie said it looked like that newspaper man 01:08:24.905 --> 01:08:27.285 that was in the club this afternoon with Mrs. Johnson. 01:08:27.405 --> 01:08:32.036 I've got notice, he was going to give us one, too, Susie, and he could now. 01:08:38.235 --> 01:08:39.905 What happened? Where's Frank? 01:08:40.025 --> 01:08:44.165 He's on his way to meet you, but Ferris is here with the dog. Ferris. 01:08:44.285 --> 01:08:47.745 But that stiff in the morgue was a plant. He's a pretty sharp fellow. 01:08:47.865 --> 01:08:49.367 Let's get off to Midway. 01:09:04.082 --> 01:09:08.525 Come on, now. Never look for us in here. But these things make me sick. 01:09:08.645 --> 01:09:11.836 See, you see, folks? The second ride is half -clad. 01:09:12.365 --> 01:09:14.465 I'll never ride this thing again. 01:09:15.245 --> 01:09:16.145 Ride up, young lady. 01:09:24.670 --> 01:09:28.925 All right, Eddie. Take it away. Don't stand up in your seats, folks. 01:09:29.045 --> 01:09:31.861 This is the greatest thrill of your lifetime. 01:09:41.999 --> 01:09:44.118 This ride only takes a couple of minutes. 01:09:44.168 --> 01:09:47.320 Besides, when we get to the top, we can see if Frank's there. 01:09:47.370 --> 01:09:48.817 Oh, he must be there by now. 01:09:54.205 --> 01:09:55.385 I don't see him. 01:10:12.725 --> 01:10:14.505 Where is he? I don't know. 01:10:46.645 --> 01:10:49.398 Hey, buddy, where do you think you're going? 01:11:27.345 --> 01:11:32.525 The second ride is only half man. I was going in for the admiral. 01:11:32.645 --> 01:11:36.145 If you stay on for another ride, I'll go see what's happened to Frank. 01:11:36.265 --> 01:11:39.705 I want to go with you. No, with Ferris outside, together we'd be too conspicuous. 01:11:39.825 --> 01:11:41.345 But Danny. Ferris traced you here. 01:11:41.465 --> 01:11:45.785 If he found you, someone else could follow you too. Second ride, half man. 01:11:45.905 --> 01:11:48.784 Lady will go again. Okay, Eddie, take it away. 01:11:49.937 --> 01:11:52.565 Forget it. Someone shot at him last night. 01:11:52.685 --> 01:11:55.939 If they tried to kill him once, they'll do it again. 01:11:58.679 --> 01:12:01.745 They tried to kill him once, they'll do it again. 01:12:01.865 --> 01:12:04.605 Nobody knows that except your husband, the killer, and now you. 01:12:04.725 --> 01:12:08.667 Nobody knows that except your husband, the killer, and now you. 01:12:21.365 --> 01:12:22.285 Run away! 01:12:26.485 --> 01:12:29.565 Frank, where are you? Frank! 01:12:31.985 --> 01:12:35.985 Oh, Frank! Frank, please go away! 01:12:43.655 --> 01:12:45.705 Frank! Frank, please! 01:12:47.585 --> 01:12:48.525 Frank! 01:13:22.225 --> 01:13:25.245 Frank? Frank Johnson? 01:13:26.265 --> 01:13:30.958 Yeah, that's you. Mr. Leggett? Be careful. There's a loose plank over here. 01:13:32.445 --> 01:13:33.345 I know. 01:13:41.725 --> 01:13:43.665 Why don't you get it over with? 01:13:53.065 --> 01:13:54.504 I don't have to, Frank. 01:13:57.325 --> 01:13:58.764 You got a bad heart. 01:14:00.925 --> 01:14:02.427 You can't stand tension. 01:14:05.845 --> 01:14:07.722 You're going to kill yourself. 01:14:52.695 --> 01:14:56.665 Second ride is half -past, folks. Take advantage of the second ride. 01:14:56.785 --> 01:14:58.099 It's only half -past. 01:15:08.525 --> 01:15:10.528 Watch out for her, Mrs. Johnson. 01:15:17.025 --> 01:15:19.025 (music playing) 01:15:51.445 --> 01:15:53.260 I had to do it, Mrs. Johnson. 01:15:53.845 --> 01:15:57.725 That's Leggett down there. Your husband's safe. Where's Frank? 01:15:57.845 --> 01:15:59.347 Out there on the midway.
