- Tydings in?
- Yes, Mr. Dawson.
2
00:01:16,938 --> 00:01:19,133
- He's tied up with Ellis.
- He was.

00:01:22,552 --> 00:01:25,624
- Sorry, Ellis, this is a private matter.
- Of course, Mr. Dawson.

We'll go over this later, Ellis.

As your partner,
I have a right to be.

I just came from the bank, Tydings.

Carol Stanley's trust account
is $80,000 short.

00:01:39,810 --> 00:01:42,244
- So?
- Where is it?
10
00:01:42,679 --> 00:01:45,716
Well, unfortunately, Robert, we're
living in the age of the shrinking dollar,

12
00:01:47,919 --> 00:01:49,193
You admit you stole it?
13
00:01:50,164 --> 00:01:53,520
I believe fraudulent conversion
is the proper description.
14
00:01:53,824 --> 00:01:55,735
Are you going to put
that money back?

Have I?
20
00:02:12,329 --> 00:02:15,719
Well, in that case, Robert, you'd better
do some pretty fast reading.
21
00:02:16,530 --> 00:02:19,283
That's an interesting file.
Those are photostatic copies.

00:02:19,565 --> 00:02:21,760
The originals are all quite safe.

SHAW: Mr. Dawson's callto the police is on one.

00:02:42,770 --> 00:02:47,048
Miss Shaw, you can cancel
Mr. Dawson's call to the police.

Emotional impulses
should be controlled, Robert.

They can really be quite dangerous.

Now, there will be no trouble
with the trust accounts,

You know, Carol's a lovely girl.
I wish you all the luck in the world.

Don't push me too far, Tydings,
even with that file.
34

You'd better lock up
this file too, Ellis.

These interim accounts
of the Carol Stanley trust,
36
00:03:34,419 --> 00:03:36,535
have you been handling
this yourself, Ellis?
37
00:03:36,789 --> 00:03:38,222
Of course, Mr. Tydings.
38
00:03:38,453 --> 00:03:41,923
Mr. Dawson tells me that the account
is $80,000 short.

- Eighty thousand!
- Unfortunately, he's right.
40
00:03:46,853 --> 00:03:48,605
Now, I know where $60,000 is, Ellis,
41
00:03:48,849 --> 00:03:51,283
because I reinvested it
myself personally.
42
00:03:58,248 --> 00:04:00,603
- But, Mr. Tydings--
- I'll give you till noon tomorrow

Nothing's impossible
if you're desperate enough.

You're not a young man, Ellis.
Ten years can be a long time.

Back in '39, I knew a Polish
refugee couple named Dolincki.
127
00:12:07,999 --> 00:12:10,274
They wanted to get
to America from Paris.
128
00:12:10,536 --> 00:12:14,211
They begged me to take
their daughter, Katrina, age 3.
129

They were gonna come later,
but they never made it.
130
00:12:17,439 --> 00:12:19,907
They died in one of those camps.
You know how it was.

- And you were left with the child.
- Mm-hm.
132
00:12:22,928 --> 00:12:25,647
I was single then,
so I put Carol in a home.
133
00:12:25,922 --> 00:12:28,880
- Carol?
- I called her Carol.

00:12:29,166 --> 00:12:34,763

I should have known better.
135
00:12:35,154 --> 00:12:37,509
It was a baby farm.
Do you know what that is?

00:12:37,774 --> 00:12:38,968
Yes. I do.

thousand dollars, like a dog.
138
00:12:43,222 --> 00:12:44,416
Were you supporting the child
139
00:12:44,636 --> 00:12:45,751
- at that time?
- I was.
140
00:12:45,967 --> 00:12:47,639
I've got the cancelled cheques
to prove it.
141
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,474
Took me five years to find out
where she was.
142
00:12:50,749 --> 00:12:52,865
MASON: You wanted to get her back?
- No.
143
00:12:53,119 --> 00:12:55,553
No. She was living with a family
named Stanley.
144
00:12:55,822 --> 00:13:00,657
I saw them and I saw her.
She was happy.
145

Well, you don't treat a child
like a football.
146
00:13:04,805 --> 00:13:08,957
But the Stanleys died, both of them.
They were killed in an auto accident.
147
00:13:09,296 --> 00:13:13,414

was named trustee.

- Tydings?
- Albert Tydings. He's a crook.

Look at the accounts.
I know he's robbing her.

- You're not a relative,

in the matter.

00:14:22,944 --> 00:14:25,663
You know, we might be representing
opposing clients in the same case?
169
00:14:25,938 --> 00:14:27,849
Get Paul back.
Tell him I'll meet him downstairs.
170
00:14:28,100 --> 00:14:29,533
That's where he is,
at Clay's Grille.
171
00:14:29,764 --> 00:14:32,676
- Tell Jerry I want my car right away.
- Right.
172
00:14:41,616 --> 00:14:43,129
What makes you think
Tydings'll be home
173
00:14:43,362 --> 00:14:44,636
if he doesn't answers his phone?
174
00:14:44,859 --> 00:14:47,453
- Just a hunch, Paul.
- I thought you dealt with facts.
175
00:14:47,729 --> 00:14:50,527
Well, when you run out of facts,
you try intuition.
176
00:14:50,806 --> 00:14:52,876
If Tydings was my midnight visitor,
177
00:14:53,135 --> 00:14:55,490
he's probably sleeping off
a heavy night's work.
178
00:14:55,755 --> 00:14:58,667
While we stick our noses
into a hornet's nest.
179
00:14:58,957 --> 00:15:01,232
Nothing unusual about that.
180
00:15:01,494 --> 00:15:03,086
What else did you find out
about Tydings?
181
00:15:03,323 --> 00:15:06,360
Oh, he's just another solid citizen.
Bachelor, no attachments.
182
00:15:06,650 --> 00:15:08,800
Austere would be the word.
183
00:15:09,062 --> 00:15:12,020
- No women?
- He seems pretty good at covering up.
184
00:15:12,306 --> 00:15:14,422
Yeah, he is.
185
00:15:43,204 --> 00:15:45,798
Paul? Will you?
186
00:15:46,780 --> 00:15:47,895
PAUL:
Yeah. Blood.
187
00:16:00,961 --> 00:16:02,440
[DOORBELL RINGS]
188
00:16:10,026 --> 00:16:11,698
You know, a private detective
can be jailed
189
00:16:11,939 --> 00:16:15,011
for breaking and entering
just as easily as a lawyer.
190
00:16:15,308 --> 00:16:20,063
Why, Mr. Drake. You saw
what happened. The door was open.
191
00:16:30,861 --> 00:16:34,615
Perry. More blood.
192
00:16:54,689 --> 00:16:58,762
Yeah, same man
that came to see me at the office.
193
00:16:59,097 --> 00:17:02,134
That's gonna be a great help
when the Homicide boys get here.
194
00:17:02,424 --> 00:17:05,257
Well, I suppose it's up to me
to call them.
195
00:17:05,543 --> 00:17:07,101
Paul.
196
00:17:11,448 --> 00:17:13,006
Here.
197
00:17:29,163 --> 00:17:34,237
Well, thank you for waiting, gentlemen.
How did you just happen to be here?
198
00:17:34,611 --> 00:17:36,841
We came to see Tydings,
found the door unlocked,
199
00:17:37,106 --> 00:17:38,903
walked in and discovered the body.
200
00:17:39,144 --> 00:17:41,658
Just pure chance?
201
00:17:41,930 --> 00:17:44,046
What was your reason
for seeing Tydings?
202
00:17:44,300 --> 00:17:46,131
- Business.
TRAGG: Well, I gathered your visit
203
00:17:46,380 --> 00:17:47,938
wasn't a social call.
204
00:17:48,168 --> 00:17:50,284
- Were you Tydings' lawyer?
- No.
205
00:17:50,538 --> 00:17:54,326
Mason, this is homicide.
Why did you wanna see Tydings?
206
00:17:54,655 --> 00:17:58,364
You should know better than to expect
me to violate the confidence of a client.
207
00:17:58,897 --> 00:18:02,367
Just answer me one thing.
Are you with us on this case
208
00:18:02,681 --> 00:18:04,512
or are you holding out
for reasons of your own?
209
00:18:05,135 --> 00:18:07,933
At the moment, lieutenant,
I just don't know.
210
00:18:08,212 --> 00:18:12,251
I believe you, Mason.
Question is, will the DA?
211
00:18:23,224 --> 00:18:25,579
- Mrs. Leeds get here?
- Five minutes ago.
212
00:18:25,844 --> 00:18:28,563
- They're in the law library.
- Thanks.
213
00:18:35,451 --> 00:18:37,806
- You're late.
- My apologies, Mrs. Leeds.
214
00:18:38,070 --> 00:18:40,026
This is Carol Stanley,
the girl I mentioned.
215
00:18:40,274 --> 00:18:41,343
Pleasure, Miss Stanley.
216
00:18:41,564 --> 00:18:43,794
Well, let's get down to business,
Mr. Mason.
217
00:18:44,059 --> 00:18:46,334
I've explained to Carol
that legal stupidity
218
00:18:46,595 --> 00:18:48,665
makes it necessary
for her to sign certain papers
219
00:18:48,924 --> 00:18:51,802
demanding an investigation
of that crook, Tydings.
220
00:18:52,085 --> 00:18:54,121
- Right, Carol?
- Yes, Abbey.
221
00:18:54,372 --> 00:18:56,044
So if you'll write them up,
we'll sign them
222
00:18:56,285 --> 00:18:58,674
and leave you to get on with the job.
223
00:18:58,946 --> 00:18:59,935
Well?
224
00:19:00,152 --> 00:19:02,712
The situation has
changed somewhat.
225
00:19:02,980 --> 00:19:05,733
- Why?
- Albert Tydings is dead.
226
00:19:09,675 --> 00:19:12,872
- He was murdered.
- Murdered?
227
00:19:17,078 --> 00:19:18,716
What happens now?
228
00:19:19,614 --> 00:19:24,005
The courts will appoint another trustee
to handle the legacy.
229
00:19:24,355 --> 00:19:28,667
Miss Stanley might be permitted
to nominate a suitable person.
230
00:19:29,595 --> 00:19:35,147
- I'd serve without compensation.
- Thank you, Abbey.
231
00:19:36,165 --> 00:19:38,759
Excuse me, Lieutenant Tragg's
waiting in your office.
232
00:19:39,035 --> 00:19:42,107
Please excuse me. I'll be right back.
233
00:19:50,304 --> 00:19:52,022
Something I can do
for you, lieutenant?
234
00:19:52,259 --> 00:19:55,569
I understand you're representing
Mrs. A. E. Leeds.
235
00:19:55,877 --> 00:19:56,992
Possible. Why?
236
00:19:57,207 --> 00:19:59,402
Well, I thought you might know
where I could find her.
237
00:19:59,661 --> 00:20:03,256
I'm a lawyer, not a detective.
Any reason you want to see her?
238
00:20:03,570 --> 00:20:09,361
No, just a routine checkout.
Just let her know that I called.
239
00:20:09,766 --> 00:20:12,997
- I'll keep it in mind.
- Thanks.
240
00:20:15,755 --> 00:20:18,189
I'm sorry, wrong door.
241
00:20:18,998 --> 00:20:21,637
- Aren't you Abigail Leeds?
- I am.
242
00:20:21,909 --> 00:20:22,944
What a coincidence.
243
00:20:23,157 --> 00:20:25,068
Any objections
if I talk to your client, Mason?
244
00:20:25,319 --> 00:20:27,435
- Not at all.
- I'm Lieutenant Tragg, Homicide.
245
00:20:27,690 --> 00:20:29,408
Investigating the death
of Albert Tydings.
246
00:20:29,644 --> 00:20:31,953
Mr. Mason will tell you you don't
have to answer questions.
247
00:20:32,222 --> 00:20:34,053
However, any assistance
that you could give me,
248
00:20:34,302 --> 00:20:35,371
I would greatly appreciate.
249
00:20:35,591 --> 00:20:37,104
Ask away, officer.
250
00:20:37,337 --> 00:20:39,805
When did you last see Tydings,
Mrs. Leeds?
251
00:20:40,082 --> 00:20:42,038
A couple of days ago at his office.
252
00:20:42,286 --> 00:20:44,595
- Did you threaten him?
- Threaten him?
253
00:20:44,864 --> 00:20:47,014
If I'd had a horsewhip,
I'd have thrashed him.
254
00:20:47,276 --> 00:20:48,265
Why?
255
00:20:48,524 --> 00:20:51,436
Because he's a cheap,
dirty crook with sticky fingers.
256
00:20:51,726 --> 00:20:54,479
Whoever murdered him
did a civic service.
257
00:20:54,762 --> 00:20:56,275
I didn't say he was murdered.
258
00:20:56,508 --> 00:20:59,705
If he wasn't, then why are you
wasting the taxpayers' money?
259
00:21:00,001 --> 00:21:03,118
If you're hard-pressed for suspects,
put me on your list.
260
00:21:03,411 --> 00:21:07,563
- I'll be in good company.
- You're very frank, Mrs. Leeds.
261
00:21:07,903 --> 00:21:12,215
I have a voice like a foghorn,
and when I'm mad, I don't whisper.
262
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,711
Come on, Carol.
We came here to see Mr. Mason
263
00:21:16,012 --> 00:21:19,482
and not to waste time
answering fool questions.
264
00:21:19,796 --> 00:21:23,027
- I might wanna see you again.
- It's a free country, sir.
265
00:21:23,331 --> 00:21:25,208
Goodbye, Mr. Mason.
266
00:21:27,781 --> 00:21:29,612
Quite a character.
267
00:21:33,270 --> 00:21:37,388
Do you have any idea
when Tydings died, lieutenant?
268
00:21:37,719 --> 00:21:40,074
Oh, as a rough guess,
I'd say around 8.
269
00:21:40,339 --> 00:21:43,251
- Why?
- Just curious.
270
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:48,511
Idle curiosity without reason
doesn't sound like you.
271
00:21:49,114 --> 00:21:52,265
- Mind if I give you a little advice?
- Do I have a choice?
272
00:21:52,565 --> 00:21:54,556
Suppression of material evidence
in a murder
273
00:21:54,811 --> 00:21:57,723
might be hard to explain
to the bar association.
274
00:21:58,013 --> 00:22:02,052
And I'd hate to lose
my favourite sparring partner.
275
00:22:03,419 --> 00:22:06,058
- Bye.
- Bye.
276
00:22:12,069 --> 00:22:14,537
This letter from Miss Stanley
is hardly sufficient authority
277
00:22:14,814 --> 00:22:18,329
to allow you access
to our trust accounts, Mr. Mason.
278
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,279
- If it was a court order--
- That's on its way.
279
00:22:21,550 --> 00:22:23,620
When it arrives,
I shall be happy to obey it.
280
00:22:23,879 --> 00:22:26,268
You're not very cooperative,
Mr. Ellis.
281
00:22:26,541 --> 00:22:28,736
With Mr. Tydings dead
and Mr. Dawson out of town,
282
00:22:28,994 --> 00:22:31,827
- my hands are tied.
- When did Mr. Dawson leave?
283
00:22:32,113 --> 00:22:36,072
- Last night, I believe.
- A little sudden, wasn't it?
284
00:22:37,395 --> 00:22:41,183
Did Dawson comment
on Mrs. Leeds' accusations?
285
00:22:41,511 --> 00:22:44,901
Mr. Mason, I'm a confidential clerk.
286
00:22:45,213 --> 00:22:48,410
Discussion of my employer's business
would be most unethical.
287
00:22:48,706 --> 00:22:50,264
Come down from the clouds, Ellis.
288
00:22:50,494 --> 00:22:53,372
Eighty thousand dollars is missing
from my client's trust account.
289
00:22:53,654 --> 00:22:57,488
Both you and Dawson will need a few
ethical stories before I'm through.
290
00:23:01,930 --> 00:23:05,366
Oh, Mr. Mason, you have a call.
Will you take it over on the other desk?
291
00:23:05,673 --> 00:23:08,471
- Line 2.
- Thank you.
292
00:23:10,788 --> 00:23:11,982
Yes?
293
00:23:12,202 --> 00:23:15,558
The cops found Dawson's car, Perry.
It's wrecked near Westside Lake.
294
00:23:15,861 --> 00:23:19,092
- They're dragging for the body now.
- Tragg on to it yet?
295
00:23:19,396 --> 00:23:21,148
Nope. At the moment, it's exclusive.
296
00:23:22,099 --> 00:23:26,217
Good. I'll pick you up at the office.
297
00:23:29,959 --> 00:23:30,994
Yes?
298
00:23:36,986 --> 00:23:38,578
Yes.
299
00:23:40,563 --> 00:23:44,954
- Are you Mr. Tydings' secretary?
- No, Mr. Mason.
300
00:23:45,304 --> 00:23:48,102
Uh, Miss Shaw doesn't come in
in the mornings.
301
00:23:48,381 --> 00:23:52,897
- Privileged, or time off for overtime?
- I wouldn't know.
302
00:23:53,621 --> 00:23:59,856
Yes. That's right. Bye.
303
00:24:02,146 --> 00:24:03,943
Thank you again.
304
00:24:28,677 --> 00:24:31,635
Paul, get my camera.
It's in the glove compartment.
305
00:24:31,921 --> 00:24:33,320
Yeah.
306
00:24:52,007 --> 00:24:53,759
PAUL:
Officer?
307
00:24:55,749 --> 00:24:58,058
Would you mind standing
next to the car, please?
308
00:24:58,328 --> 00:25:01,240
- Have they found the body yet?
- Not yet, sir.
309
00:25:02,652 --> 00:25:04,404
PAUL:
Just one more.
310
00:25:06,104 --> 00:25:09,016
The name's Duggan,
Bill Duggan, two G's.
311
00:25:09,306 --> 00:25:13,697
D-U-G-G-A-N.
312
00:25:16,791 --> 00:25:18,144
PAUL:
Find anything?
313
00:25:18,372 --> 00:25:19,521
MASON:
Uh-huh.
314
00:25:19,827 --> 00:25:23,217
When it went into the lake,
Dawson wasn't driving.
315
00:25:23,986 --> 00:25:28,218
- How come?
- The gas pedal's wired to the floor.
316
00:25:35,630 --> 00:25:39,100
- It was murder.
- Or fake suicide.
317
00:25:41,909 --> 00:25:44,264
If you boys hang around,
you'll get quite a story.
318
00:25:44,529 --> 00:25:48,363
- Oh? In what way?
- That's the Homicide boys turning up.
319
00:25:48,687 --> 00:25:51,485
I'd better go get some fresh film.
Excuse me.
320
00:25:52,181 --> 00:25:54,137
Nice meeting you.
321
00:26:00,456 --> 00:26:02,367
PAUL:
Excuse me, lieutenant.
322
00:26:03,242 --> 00:26:04,641
TRAGG:
You again?
323
00:26:04,864 --> 00:26:07,332
Coincidence, lieutenant,
just coincidence.
324
00:26:07,609 --> 00:26:12,080
- Hey, mister. Duggan with two G's.
- Got it.
325
00:26:12,433 --> 00:26:14,708
Sorry, we can't take
your picture, lieutenant.
326
00:26:14,969 --> 00:26:16,800
Out of film.
327
00:26:39,006 --> 00:26:41,884
- Perry, Ellis just left.
- Good.
328
00:26:42,166 --> 00:26:43,963
Come on, sleepy.
329
00:26:45,161 --> 00:26:46,514
Now, don't forget the signal.
330
00:26:46,741 --> 00:26:48,459
If Ellis comes back
or there's any trouble,
331
00:26:48,695 --> 00:26:51,129
I'll ring the phone twice, hang up
and then redial.
332
00:26:51,398 --> 00:26:55,437
- You pick it up on the next ring.
- Complex but effective. Come on.
333
00:27:06,951 --> 00:27:09,181
I'm sorry to bother you,
but I've locked myself out.
334
00:27:09,446 --> 00:27:12,006
I'm right next door,
Tydings & Dawson.
335
00:27:17,805 --> 00:27:20,797
- Thanks a million.
- Pleasure, lady.
336
00:27:21,548 --> 00:27:23,027
- Working late?
- About a half-hour.
337
00:27:23,253 --> 00:27:25,608
- Good night, miss.
- Good night.
338
00:27:50,990 --> 00:27:52,787
Good girl.
339
00:28:33,906 --> 00:28:35,464
- Comfortable?
- Mm-hm.
340
00:28:35,695 --> 00:28:37,845
So is the city jail.
341
00:28:38,231 --> 00:28:40,301
Relax, Della.
Nobody broke the door down.
342
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,393
I have a court order
to examine these books.
343
00:28:43,970 --> 00:28:47,280
- Did you find what you wanted?
- I think.
344
00:28:47,588 --> 00:28:49,465
From a quick run-down
of these figures,
345
00:28:49,709 --> 00:28:53,019
Tydings must have been robbing
Carol Stanley blind.
346
00:28:53,535 --> 00:28:55,491
Let's get out of this place.
It makes me nervous.
347
00:28:55,739 --> 00:28:58,207
Hold your horses.
I'll be ready in a minute.

What's that?
349
00:29:27,552 --> 00:29:29,190
Empty shell.
350
00:29:30,213 --> 00:29:32,329
MASON:
Small calibre.
351
00:29:32,833 --> 00:29:37,429
Probably a Beretta.
Easy enough to conceal.
352
00:29:41,108 --> 00:29:44,862
He could have been shot
at close range across this desk.
353
00:29:47,721 --> 00:29:49,552
When the door is closed,
and the street noises,
354
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:51,870
nobody would have heard the shot.
355
00:29:55,331 --> 00:29:57,322
Just doesn't add up.
356
00:29:58,366 --> 00:30:00,641
Why would someone risk taking
a body halfway across town
357
00:30:00,903 --> 00:30:03,940
when they could have killed Tydings
in his own home?
358
00:30:05,062 --> 00:30:07,098
You're right. It just doesn't add up.
359
00:30:07,349 --> 00:30:12,104
What if, if A killed him,
B arrived and found him dead,
360
00:30:12,464 --> 00:30:14,375
realised if the police nosed around,
361
00:30:14,626 --> 00:30:17,743
his girlfriend would be asked
some very awkward questions,
362
00:30:18,036 --> 00:30:21,028
so he then moved the body
and looked up a lawyer.
363
00:30:21,322 --> 00:30:22,311
Dawson?
364
00:30:24,025 --> 00:30:25,902
Who was the girl?
365
00:30:30,637 --> 00:30:34,107
Not bad. What does it mean?
366
00:30:34,421 --> 00:30:38,494
Freudian slip maybe.
Tydings anticipated overtime.
367
00:30:38,912 --> 00:30:45,511
- Secretary, huh?
- As I recall, her name is Enid Shaw.

And make it fast.I got hung up on the phone.

- We must leave something for Tragg.
377
00:32:17,428 --> 00:32:19,225
- Tragg.
- He's on his way up.
378
00:32:19,466 --> 00:32:22,185
This is where we retire
to previously prepared positions.
379
00:32:22,460 --> 00:32:25,930
- What positions, Perry?
- The fire escape, of course.
380
00:33:01,924 --> 00:33:07,157
Check for latent bloodstains
around the desk.
381
00:33:25,753 --> 00:33:29,063
But if Dawson's our client, why should
he cover for Tydings' secretary?
382
00:33:29,371 --> 00:33:34,286
- Enid Shaw, a very attractive woman.
- True, why?
383
00:33:35,567 --> 00:33:36,966
- Have a sandwich.
- If you insist.

00:33:37,189 --> 00:33:39,066

Get Dawson's picture?
385
00:33:41,722 --> 00:33:43,997
PAUL: Is he your midnight visitor?
MASON: He is.
386
00:33:44,258 --> 00:33:46,852
- That's nice. He's wanted for murder.
MASON: What?
387
00:33:47,128 --> 00:33:49,198
Tragg found bloodstains in the back
of Dawson's car.
388
00:33:49,457 --> 00:33:51,334
that matched Tydings' blood group.
389
00:33:53,075 --> 00:33:56,670
- Is someone watching the girls?
- Yep. They're both covered.
390
00:33:56,984 --> 00:33:59,214
I understand watching Miss Shaw
but who's the other girl?
391
00:33:59,479 --> 00:34:00,468
Carol Stanley.

They're in Number 5,

Going somewhere, Mr. Dawson?

00:35:12,087 --> 00:35:14,157
- Why?
- Stop playing games.
404
00:35:14,416 --> 00:35:15,405
How'd you find us?
405
00:35:15,622 --> 00:35:17,533
Listen, Dawson,
I don't think you killed Tydings,
406
00:35:17,784 --> 00:35:20,252
but I'm a minority of one.
I want the truth and I want it fast.
407
00:35:20,529 --> 00:35:22,997
- That includes you, Miss Stanley.
- You keep her out of it.
408
00:35:23,273 --> 00:35:26,470
Why did you move Tydings' body
from his office?
409
00:35:26,891 --> 00:35:29,883
TRAGG: Why don't you answer
the counsellor's question, Dawson?
410
00:35:30,177 --> 00:35:33,374
Or must I be formal, Mason?
411
00:35:33,919 --> 00:35:37,116
And I must commend you
for your sense of public duty.
412
00:35:37,412 --> 00:35:41,485
I knew that if I followed you,
that you'd lead me to Dawson.

- Mrs. Leeds is waiting, Perry.
- Just a moment.

00:36:00,700 --> 00:36:04,978
- How's it going?
- Not good. They switched charges.
415
00:36:05,316 --> 00:36:08,865
Now Carol Stanley is held on suspicion
of murder, with Dawson as accessory.
416
00:36:09,184 --> 00:36:10,458
Why?
417
00:36:10,681 --> 00:36:12,592
Her car was seen in front
of Tydings' office
418
00:36:12,843 --> 00:36:14,595
before Dawson got there.
419
00:36:14,839 --> 00:36:18,354
- Is the witness reliable?
- I'd say so, he was a policeman.
420
00:36:18,665 --> 00:36:21,054
She had to go and park
in front of the fireplug.

What's their story?
422
00:36:23,572 --> 00:36:26,450
Carol had an appointment with Tydings
at his office.
423
00:36:26,733 --> 00:36:28,724
She arrived there, found him dead,
424
00:36:28,978 --> 00:36:31,890
got panicky, called Dawson
and Dawson shifted the body.
425
00:36:32,180 --> 00:36:33,613
Did he have any reason?
426
00:36:33,844 --> 00:36:35,357
Yeah.
427
00:36:35,923 --> 00:36:38,118
The office knew about
her appointment.
428
00:36:38,377 --> 00:36:40,971
He thought by moving the body,
he'd give her an alibi.
429
00:36:42,494 --> 00:36:43,768
Do you believe it?
430
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:49,193
Yes, but I'd hate to try
and convince a jury.
431
00:36:50,769 --> 00:36:52,805
What about Miss Leeds?
432
00:36:53,555 --> 00:36:54,704
Oh.
433
00:36:55,635 --> 00:36:57,626
Better show her in.

How's Carol, Mason?

00:37:09,275 --> 00:37:12,585
- Would you like some coffee?
- This isn't a social visit.

00:37:12,893 --> 00:37:17,330
I don't know what half-witted moron
is responsible for Carol's arrest,
437
00:37:17,675 --> 00:37:20,985
but whoever it is is going to know
Abigail Leeds by the time I'm through.

Sit down, Abigail.
439
00:37:25,285 --> 00:37:30,405
Well, the district attorney's office
has a pretty good case against her.
440
00:37:30,774 --> 00:37:35,165
Then what are you resting up
for, inspiration?
441
00:37:35,515 --> 00:37:37,312
Why haven't you bailed her out?
442
00:37:37,802 --> 00:37:41,078
- There is no bail for murder.
- Murder?
443
00:37:42,460 --> 00:37:45,691
Well, I thought she was being held
as a material witness.
444
00:37:45,995 --> 00:37:48,907
That was last night. Things change.

00:37:50,985 --> 00:37:52,134
Uh...
446
00:37:52,357 --> 00:37:55,076
When do they say Tydings
was killed?
447
00:37:55,351 --> 00:37:56,909
About 8:00.
448
00:37:57,514 --> 00:38:01,746
Then they haven't got a case.

that she's been fond of.

00:38:25,293 --> 00:38:28,603
- When can I see her?
- Well, that's up to the police.

As a rule, only close relatives
are allowed.
457
00:38:31,780 --> 00:38:36,296
Well, I'm the closest friend
that she's got, like a mother.
458
00:38:36,646 --> 00:38:38,682
But you're not her mother,
Mrs. Leeds.
459
00:38:38,933 --> 00:38:40,764
It will be up to Lieutenant Tragg.
460
00:38:41,012 --> 00:38:43,287
However, I'm sure
he'll see his way clear.
461
00:38:54,527 --> 00:38:56,040
- Della?
DELLA: Yes, Perry.
462
00:38:56,274 --> 00:38:58,344
Get Paul Drake on the phone for me,
will you?
463
00:38:58,603 --> 00:39:02,198
Oh, and by the way,
do you have Mrs. Leeds' address?
464
00:39:02,928 --> 00:39:05,362
Yes, it's on Rossmore. Why?
465
00:39:05,631 --> 00:39:07,781
Because Carol Stanley
lives with her.
466
00:39:08,043 --> 00:39:10,193
We're going visiting.
467
00:39:47,216 --> 00:39:50,572
Do we skip with the diamonds
and leave the paintings?

00:39:50,876 --> 00:39:52,548
You sound bitter.
469
00:39:52,788 --> 00:39:55,860
I suppose you have a court order
for justifiable snooping.
470
00:39:56,157 --> 00:39:59,274
Della, there is no breaking
and entering

when a tenant gives you her keys,
472
00:40:01,189 --> 00:40:03,419
and Miss Stanley also gave me
power of attorney.
473
00:40:03,684 --> 00:40:05,276
Now, that should be enough.
474
00:40:06,512 --> 00:40:08,548
DELLA:
All right, what next?
475
00:40:08,799 --> 00:40:11,552
You search the bedroom.
I'll tackle this room.

- I know. What next?

- Of course, Mr. Mason.

Tell him I'll wait for him
exactly 60 seconds.

- But--
- Two, three, four, five, six...

- Would you please go in, Mr. Mason?
- Thank you.

in the Hidden Home Welfare Society,
501
00:42:23,536 --> 00:42:24,685
the bookkeeper?
502
00:42:24,908 --> 00:42:26,307
What do you want?
503
00:42:26,530 --> 00:42:29,761
Where's the file Tydings
was using for blackmail?
504
00:42:32,892 --> 00:42:34,689
What's the deal?
505
00:42:35,512 --> 00:42:37,582
With grand larceny
and extortion against you,
506
00:42:37,841 --> 00:42:41,356
you're in a bad bargaining position.
Now get that file.
507
00:42:41,667 --> 00:42:43,419
I haven't got it.
508
00:42:43,705 --> 00:42:46,822
Then open that safe and get it
or I'll get it myself.
509
00:42:47,115 --> 00:42:49,583
You'll need a court order to do that.
510
00:42:50,982 --> 00:42:53,132
Anything else you'd like?
511
00:42:55,473 --> 00:42:57,031
You win.
512
00:43:11,026 --> 00:43:15,065
It's all there, Photostats
and originals.
513
00:43:15,642 --> 00:43:19,157
- Who collected this file?
- I did.
514
00:43:20,425 --> 00:43:22,541
First, you used it to blackmail
Mrs. Leeds with.
515
00:43:22,795 --> 00:43:26,583
Then when you found she and Tydings
were having trouble, you sold it to him.
516
00:43:27,203 --> 00:43:28,761
Well, I needed the money.
517
00:43:29,989 --> 00:43:32,298
Well, your worries
in that department are over.
518
00:43:32,567 --> 00:43:33,556
ELLIS:
What do you mean?
519
00:43:33,773 --> 00:43:35,047
By the time you get out of jail,
520
00:43:35,270 --> 00:43:37,625
you'll be drawing
an old-age pension.
521
00:43:41,009 --> 00:43:42,522
- Hi, Della.
- Oh, Perry.
522
00:43:42,756 --> 00:43:45,509
Paul's in your office
and Mrs. Leeds is in the law library,
523
00:43:45,792 --> 00:43:47,145
and Lieutenant Tragg's on his way.
524
00:43:47,372 --> 00:43:50,284
I'll see Paul first then Mrs. Leeds,
and hold all calls, will you, Della?
525
00:43:50,574 --> 00:43:51,609
Right.
526
00:43:52,321 --> 00:43:54,960
PAUL: Hi, Perry.
- Paul.
527
00:43:55,814 --> 00:43:58,328
PAUL: Did Ellis come across?
- He did.
528
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:01,114
Well, Bob Dawson's
as clean as a whistle.
529
00:44:01,386 --> 00:44:03,342
Got a straight run clear back
to grade school.
530
00:44:03,590 --> 00:44:05,979
He's not brilliant,
but depressingly honest.
531
00:44:06,252 --> 00:44:09,324
What about the $10,000 bill he gave
me? You said it was issued to Tydings.
532
00:44:09,620 --> 00:44:12,930
Well, they keep a pretty hefty
cash-margin account at that office.
533
00:44:13,238 --> 00:44:15,752
Dawson must have drawn it
against his cheque.
534
00:44:16,024 --> 00:44:17,298
That makes sense.
535
00:44:17,521 --> 00:44:21,116
I got this cable from Washington
about Abbey Leeds' passport.
536
00:44:21,430 --> 00:44:23,421
Doesn't exist and it never has.
537
00:44:23,676 --> 00:44:24,825
You can take it as gospel:
538
00:44:25,048 --> 00:44:28,245
Abigail Esther has never left the States
in her life.
539
00:44:29,165 --> 00:44:30,314
It adds up.
540
00:44:30,538 --> 00:44:33,132
I think we're adding up
to the same total.
541
00:44:33,615 --> 00:44:36,083
This is from the Hall of Records.
542
00:44:36,526 --> 00:44:40,724
"Entry of birth:
Dated June 23rd, 1936. Female."
543
00:44:41,059 --> 00:44:42,777
You know the rest.
544
00:44:46,922 --> 00:44:51,154
- All right, thanks.
- Sorry it came out this way, Perry.
545
00:44:51,497 --> 00:44:53,328
I know. Yeah.
546
00:44:54,699 --> 00:44:59,978
Well, tell Della to have Tragg wait here
in my office, will you?
547
00:45:08,547 --> 00:45:11,266
How was your visit with Carol,
Mrs. Leeds?
548
00:45:11,541 --> 00:45:15,295
It's killing her, Mason.
It's killing her spirit.
549
00:45:15,866 --> 00:45:17,538
They're animal cages.
550
00:45:17,779 --> 00:45:24,218
Locks, bars, keepers and a clean sort
of smell that I'll never forget.
551
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:29,077
- It's quickly forgotten when you leave.
- Well, when will she leave?
552
00:45:29,422 --> 00:45:31,413
The preliminary hearing's
set for tomorrow.
553
00:45:31,668 --> 00:45:35,024
- And her chances?
- Not good.
554
00:45:35,328 --> 00:45:38,843
She's innocent, Mason.
She shouldn't be there at all.
555
00:45:39,153 --> 00:45:42,225
The district attorney is asking
an indictment for first-degree murder.
556
00:45:42,522 --> 00:45:44,194
- What does that mean?
- The gas chamber.
557
00:45:44,435 --> 00:45:46,107
Oh, no.
558
00:45:47,346 --> 00:45:51,385
Oh, don't worry.
That'll never happen.
559
00:45:52,794 --> 00:45:56,787
I had hoped to find the killer,
560
00:45:57,118 --> 00:46:00,474
but I've only been
partially successful.
561
00:46:01,984 --> 00:46:03,019
What do you mean?
562
00:46:03,231 --> 00:46:08,351
Knowing who killed Tydings,
and proving it to a jury
563
00:46:08,721 --> 00:46:11,554
is an unbridgeable gap.
564
00:46:12,422 --> 00:46:14,982
Why do you think he was killed?
565
00:46:16,248 --> 00:46:19,160
All of us have a point of no return.
566
00:46:19,575 --> 00:46:22,612
Sometimes when you're
pushed too far,
567
00:46:23,109 --> 00:46:24,383
you lose control.
568
00:46:25,521 --> 00:46:27,830
You're wise beyond your years,
young man,
569
00:46:28,100 --> 00:46:30,136
and a good guesser.
570
00:46:30,470 --> 00:46:32,461
Or is it guesswork?
571
00:46:35,460 --> 00:46:37,576
You have a very lovely daughter,
Abbey.
572
00:46:37,831 --> 00:46:44,543
- You must be quite proud of Carol.
- I am, Mr. Mason. I--
573
00:46:50,015 --> 00:46:51,846
How much do you know?
574
00:46:57,958 --> 00:46:59,869
Is that why you killed him, Abbey?
575
00:47:03,322 --> 00:47:04,914
Yes.
576
00:47:07,938 --> 00:47:12,295
You've never been a child
without a father.
577
00:47:12,887 --> 00:47:17,836
Flushed with shame every time
you had to produce a birth certificate.
578
00:47:18,501 --> 00:47:23,017
Called names
that you couldn't even understand,
579
00:47:23,450 --> 00:47:27,238
and cried yourself to sleep
night after night.
580
00:47:28,814 --> 00:47:31,533
Well, I have, Mr. Mason.
581
00:47:32,848 --> 00:47:37,922
I'd kill Tydings, and I'd kill again
before I'd let anyone harm my child.
582
00:47:45,656 --> 00:47:49,046
Would you call out
Lieutenant Tragg?
583
00:47:49,690 --> 00:47:52,523
He was very kind down at the jail.
584
00:47:56,385 --> 00:48:01,584
- He's waiting in my office.
- You think of everything, young man.
585
00:48:06,491 --> 00:48:09,722
You don't have to come down
to that place with me, Mr. Mason.
586
00:48:10,025 --> 00:48:16,021
I've wasted enough of your time.
I suppose I should get a lawyer.
587
00:48:16,596 --> 00:48:20,225
At the risk of being unethical,
I'd like to apply for the job.
588
00:48:20,547 --> 00:48:24,506
A guilty client isn't going to
help your reputation.
589
00:48:24,871 --> 00:48:26,509
Well, Abbey?
590
00:48:29,529 --> 00:48:31,520
You've got the job.
591
00:48:34,394 --> 00:48:36,305
Well, lieutenant?
592
00:48:36,557 --> 00:48:38,593
If we have to ride
downtown together,
593
00:48:38,844 --> 00:48:41,961
would you be kind enough
to give me your arm?
594
00:48:56,809 --> 00:48:57,844
[MASON SNEEZES]
595
00:48:58,057 --> 00:49:00,935
- Gesundheit.
- Thank you.
596
00:49:07,413 --> 00:49:08,402
What's that?
597
00:49:08,619 --> 00:49:11,179
- Tastes very good.
- I just have a cold.
598
00:49:11,447 --> 00:49:12,721
DELLA:
Mm-hm.
599
00:49:12,944 --> 00:49:17,495
All right, now, open up. Come on.
600
00:49:23,299 --> 00:49:27,087
You know, I forgot to tell you, Dawson
and Carol's family dropped by.
601
00:49:27,416 --> 00:49:30,692
They brought the other half
of that ten-thousand-dollar bill.
602
00:49:32,489 --> 00:49:35,720
You know, I have a feeling that girl
knows all about her background.
603
00:49:36,024 --> 00:49:39,653
Yes, ever since high-school days.
Couldn't care less.
604
00:49:39,975 --> 00:49:44,924
- Well, why didn't she tell her mother?
- Oh, she didn't wanna upset her.
605
00:49:45,672 --> 00:49:48,869
And to think Mrs. Leeds killed Tydings
just to protect the secret.
606
00:49:49,165 --> 00:49:54,956
- What a futile, senseless murder.
- All murders are.
607
00:49:55,403 --> 00:49:56,802
[SNEEZES]
608
00:49:57,981 --> 00:50:01,974
Della... Della, you don't have to stay.
I'll be fine.
609
00:50:02,472 --> 00:50:07,023
You know, Mr. Mason, I told you
I'm a very handy girl to have around.
610
00:50:08,752 --> 00:50:13,268
You didn't tell me one of your
accomplishments was starting fires.
611
00:50:15,613 --> 00:50:20,050
Any time you want me to put the heat
on Lieutenant Tragg, just let me know.
612
00:50:20,396 --> 00:50:24,708
- I'll bear that in mind.
- Here.

00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:34,231
Sometimes, you even make it
too hot for me.
