Itheme]
2
00:00:44,677 --> 00:00:48,784
[ship horn blaring]
3
00:01:28,300 --> 00:01:30,306
Logic.
4
00:01:30,310 --> 00:01:32,380
Myer, you are a cretin.
5
00:01:32,513 --> 00:01:35,851
ln art, logic is the assassin of intuition.
6
00:01:35,982 --> 00:01:38,019
Do l make myself clear, Myer?
7
00:01:38,150 --> 00:01:39,409
- Yeah.
- [chuckles]
8
00:01:39,451 --> 00:01:42,489
You stand convicted by your own words.
9
00:01:42,620 --> 00:01:45,024
Why must you always intellectualize?
10
00:01:45,155 --> 00:01:48,327
But, Glovatski,
l was agreeing with you.
11
00:01:48,458 --> 00:01:50,283
Repudiate me, Myer!
12
00:01:50,325 --> 00:01:52,495
Lash out with heavy blows.
13
00:01:52,628 --> 00:01:55,933
A true artist must first be an anarchist.
14
00:02:00,300 --> 00:02:03,104
Like him? Otto Gervaert?
15
00:02:04,070 --> 00:02:06,507
[scoms]
A yogi.
16
00:02:06,638 --> 00:02:11,880
But, Glovatski, have you seen
his last painting, Day's Catch?
17
00:02:12,009 --> 00:02:14,646
Everybody says it's a masterpiece.
18
00:02:16,546 --> 00:02:18,815
l repudiate him.
19
00:03:22,461 --> 00:03:24,461
Fiona! Fiona!
20
00:03:25,664 --> 00:03:29,136
Come quickly. Do hurry, dear.
Otto is back.
21
00:03:35,338 --> 00:03:38,843
l heard him moving around down there.
He must have just got in.
22
00:03:38,975 --> 00:03:42,146
Maybe it's a bat flying around.
23
00:04:06,528 --> 00:04:10,334
The poor boy must be starved.
Come along, Fiona.
24
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,845
Otto, dear boy, welcome home.
25
00:04:27,011 --> 00:04:29,915
Oh, dear. He's gone again.
26
00:04:33,549 --> 00:04:35,885
This time he's not coming back.
27
00:04:36,017 --> 00:04:37,877
Nonsense. Of course he'll be back.
28
00:04:37,919 --> 00:04:39,677
Why, this is his home.
29
00:04:39,719 --> 00:04:41,719
What makes you think he won't be back?
30
00:04:41,821 --> 00:04:44,358
Because he's taken Day's Catch with him.
31
00:04:44,490 --> 00:04:47,761
Oh, dear, yes. And he swore
he'd never sell it.
32
00:04:47,892 --> 00:04:49,892
But where would he go?
33
00:04:52,863 --> 00:04:55,200
l don't know.
34
00:04:55,331 --> 00:04:58,269
But l'll find him.
35
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,973
And when l do,
maybe l'll slit open his gullet.
36
00:05:46,170 --> 00:05:47,962
[Man]
Come on, men. Put your backs into it.
37
00:05:48,004 --> 00:05:50,007
The wicked old slave master's watching us.
38
00:05:50,139 --> 00:05:51,798
Save the funny lines for the strip.
39
00:05:51,840 --> 00:05:53,633
That's where it came from.
40
00:05:53,675 --> 00:05:56,913
You know something, Gabe,
we're losing our identities.
41
00:05:57,044 --> 00:05:59,148
We're all turning into little Zingys.
42
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,039
Might be an improvement.
43
00:06:01,081 --> 00:06:03,618
Quick, make a note of that one, men.
44
00:06:03,682 --> 00:06:07,455
What's the matter, Pete?
Are you tired of being a slave?
45
00:06:08,519 --> 00:06:10,655
Me? Why, no, sir.
46
00:06:10,787 --> 00:06:12,681
l love Zingy like he was my own.
47
00:06:12,723 --> 00:06:15,027
You know that, Gabe.
Like he was me.
48
00:06:15,158 --> 00:06:17,595
Sure, l know it, kid.
49
00:06:17,727 --> 00:06:19,319
Can you raise $10,OOO?
50
00:06:19,361 --> 00:06:21,361
10,OOO bucks?
51
00:06:21,462 --> 00:06:23,666
lt's a cinch. Wait a minute.
l may have it on me.
52
00:06:25,165 --> 00:06:27,302
Mmm, only four bucks,
if that's any good to you.
53
00:06:27,433 --> 00:06:30,104
Get up the balance by tonight,
and Zingy is yours.
54
00:06:30,236 --> 00:06:32,273
l'm getting out of the comic strip field.
55
00:06:32,404 --> 00:06:34,440
[paper rustling]
56
00:06:34,572 --> 00:06:37,644
Ah. Look what a real artist can do.
57
00:06:37,775 --> 00:06:39,235
Why not me?
58
00:06:39,277 --> 00:06:41,781
That bash tonight is my farewell party, kid.
59
00:06:41,911 --> 00:06:44,715
But only $10,OOO for Zingy?
60
00:06:44,847 --> 00:06:48,018
l know you'd be a good father
to the little stinker.
61
00:06:48,150 --> 00:06:50,076
You think you can come up with the loot?
62
00:06:50,118 --> 00:06:52,755
Why, yeah. Yeah. Sure.
63
00:06:52,886 --> 00:06:55,690
l'll get it even if
l have to rob a bank.
64
00:06:55,821 --> 00:06:58,392
Good, Pete.
See you at the party.
65
00:07:02,693 --> 00:07:05,397
[laughs]
66
00:07:11,234 --> 00:07:13,571
[Man]
Sure, it's an Otto Gervaert canvas. Who else?
67
00:07:13,702 --> 00:07:15,262
[Woman]
No mistaking the technique.
68
00:07:15,304 --> 00:07:19,577
ln my opinion, he's the next big name
in American art.
69
00:07:19,706 --> 00:07:22,077
l don't know.
It looks like the work of two guys to me.
70
00:07:22,208 --> 00:07:24,345
Rembrandt and Picasso maybe.
71
00:07:24,476 --> 00:07:26,913
Oh, Monty,
must you always be a bookkeeper?
72
00:07:27,046 --> 00:07:31,186
Surely you can see the artist is dramatizing
the basic need for survival
73
00:07:31,316 --> 00:07:35,556
even in a world slowly melting
back into primeval ooze.
74
00:07:35,685 --> 00:07:38,723
Mm-hmm. l wonder how much
Gabe laid out for it.
75
00:07:38,854 --> 00:07:39,879
l'd hate to tell you.
76
00:07:39,921 --> 00:07:41,991
l really paid through the teeth
for that little number.
77
00:07:42,123 --> 00:07:44,460
You know how it is when you like something.
78
00:07:44,591 --> 00:07:47,228
But a Gervaert has got to be
an investment, hasn't it?
79
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:48,786
[doorbell rings]
80
00:07:48,828 --> 00:07:51,265
Well, new guests. Ask them.
81
00:07:51,396 --> 00:07:53,089
[laughing]
82
00:07:53,131 --> 00:07:56,203
Honestly, Pete, what's got into you?
l swear you've been drinking.
83
00:07:56,335 --> 00:07:58,972
Brace yourself, baby.
l'm gonna make an honest woman out of you,
84
00:07:59,103 --> 00:08:00,495
and l don't mean someday.
85
00:08:00,537 --> 00:08:03,375
Listen to me, Pete.
l've got to talk to you about something
86
00:08:03,439 --> 00:08:04,564
Sure. About diamonds.
87
00:08:04,606 --> 00:08:08,279
Baby, tomorrow l'm gonna buy you
a diamond as big as a cannonball.
88
00:08:10,278 --> 00:08:12,382
Am l intruding?
89
00:08:12,512 --> 00:08:13,738
Hello, Mr. Phillips.
90
00:08:13,780 --> 00:08:16,518
Greetings, wicked old slave master.
l brought the swag.
91
00:08:16,649 --> 00:08:18,651
Then you've got yourself a strip.
92
00:08:18,784 --> 00:08:20,677
[chattering]
93
00:08:20,719 --> 00:08:23,123
lf l may have your attention, please.
94
00:08:23,254 --> 00:08:25,791
- Quiet, please, boys and girls.
- [whistles]
95
00:08:25,923 --> 00:08:28,861
Announcement.
This isn't just another ordinary bash.
96
00:08:28,991 --> 00:08:30,991
This is a farewell party.
97
00:08:31,060 --> 00:08:32,419
Where you going, Pete boy?
98
00:08:32,461 --> 00:08:35,599
lnto orbit, Monty, old man.
Straight up like a rocket.
99
00:08:35,730 --> 00:08:37,089
[laughter]
100
00:08:37,131 --> 00:08:39,124
Pete isn't leaving. l am.
101
00:08:39,166 --> 00:08:41,904
l'm renouncing the crass world
of commercialism.
102
00:08:42,035 --> 00:08:44,139
After tomorrow,
my address will be Majorca.
103
00:08:44,270 --> 00:08:45,862
[Woman]
Oh, how long will you be gone?
104
00:08:45,904 --> 00:08:47,097
[Man]
What's the idea, Gabe?
105
00:08:47,139 --> 00:08:48,664
l'm retiring, that's all.
106
00:08:48,706 --> 00:08:50,598
l made my pile.
Now l'm getting out.
107
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,301
[laughter]
108
00:08:52,343 --> 00:08:54,512
l always wanted to find out
if l had any real talent.
109
00:08:54,643 --> 00:08:56,338
Who knows?
l might be another Otto Gervaert.
110
00:08:56,380 --> 00:08:57,905
[laughter]
111
00:08:57,947 --> 00:09:01,152
- Gabe, who's gonna give the parties then?
- [Guests] Yeah.
112
00:09:03,917 --> 00:09:06,354
Pete, let's make it legal fast.
113
00:09:06,486 --> 00:09:08,590
- l've drawn up a paper...
- [doorbell rings]
114
00:09:08,721 --> 00:09:10,647
Oh, wait a minute.
l think that's somebody l invited.
115
00:09:10,689 --> 00:09:12,726
l'll be in the workroom.
116
00:09:17,528 --> 00:09:18,887
Mr. Mason, Miss Street.
117
00:09:18,929 --> 00:09:20,929
Hello, Pete.
118
00:09:24,500 --> 00:09:26,500
l drew that up myself, Mason,
119
00:09:26,567 --> 00:09:29,138
without the help of a lawyer.
120
00:09:29,270 --> 00:09:31,941
Looks like a very clear outline
of the proposed sale.
121
00:09:32,073 --> 00:09:33,698
l didn't see any need for red tape.
122
00:09:33,740 --> 00:09:35,632
lt's a simple arrangement
between Pete and me.
123
00:09:35,674 --> 00:09:38,712
''Simple,'' he says,
like raising $10,OOO in one afternoon.
124
00:09:38,844 --> 00:09:41,782
l had to parlay so many deals,
only a lawyer could understand them.
125
00:09:41,913 --> 00:09:44,284
So l got me one.
Now, where do l sign?
126
00:09:44,416 --> 00:09:46,987
Pete, you oughta have a drink
to settle you down.
127
00:09:47,117 --> 00:09:49,220
- We'll call you when it's time.
- Who needs to settle down?
128
00:09:49,352 --> 00:09:50,643
l'm calm.
129
00:09:50,685 --> 00:09:53,222
Just whistle,
wicked old slave master.
130
00:09:55,223 --> 00:09:57,894
What do you want, Mason?
Some ''whereases'' and ''to-wits''?
131
00:09:58,025 --> 00:10:00,429
No, l wouldn't say so.
132
00:10:00,560 --> 00:10:02,053
l presume the sale
133
00:10:02,095 --> 00:10:05,266
will in no way amect the present contract
with the newspaper syndicate?
134
00:10:06,265 --> 00:10:09,971
Pete may have to renegotiate it.
But Zingy is in 205 papers.
135
00:10:10,101 --> 00:10:12,205
Any of the other syndicates
would love to have it.
136
00:10:12,336 --> 00:10:14,195
May l see a copy of the contract?
137
00:10:14,237 --> 00:10:15,929
l'll get it for you tomorrow.
138
00:10:15,971 --> 00:10:18,943
l understood you were leaving
for Majorca tomorrow.
139
00:10:19,074 --> 00:10:21,945
Mason, are you just being
a lawyer about all this,
140
00:10:22,076 --> 00:10:23,602
or don't you approve of the deal?
141
00:10:23,644 --> 00:10:26,248
No, it would seem to be
a very fine deal.
142
00:10:26,380 --> 00:10:29,686
But l can't help wondering why you'd sell
a valuable property for,
143
00:10:29,816 --> 00:10:31,375
what, a tenth of its value?
144
00:10:31,417 --> 00:10:34,121
l didn't think he could amord more
than 10,OOO.
145
00:10:34,252 --> 00:10:36,289
l suppose you have proof of ownership?
146
00:10:36,421 --> 00:10:38,347
Of the strip? l created it.
147
00:10:38,389 --> 00:10:40,860
Look, Mason, this whole thing
is getting a little too involved.
148
00:10:40,990 --> 00:10:43,894
Now, either make the deal or forget it.
l want Pete to have Zingy, but...
149
00:10:44,027 --> 00:10:46,027
Why?
150
00:10:46,128 --> 00:10:47,720
Well, he's a good cartoonist,
151
00:10:47,762 --> 00:10:49,221
l like him,
152
00:10:49,263 --> 00:10:51,263
and l feel sorry for him.
153
00:10:52,066 --> 00:10:55,838
And so, you're practically making him
a present of the strip.
154
00:10:55,968 --> 00:10:57,494
Why, Mr. Phillips?
155
00:10:57,536 --> 00:10:59,430
Because it's a booby prize.
156
00:10:59,472 --> 00:11:01,472
The poor slob ought to get something.
157
00:11:03,274 --> 00:11:05,478
Here's to beautiful women
and brick dust,
158
00:11:05,609 --> 00:11:07,912
all those who can't love
and can scour knives.
159
00:11:08,045 --> 00:11:09,703
Oh, Pete.
160
00:11:09,745 --> 00:11:11,538
Well, l can't hope to match that,
161
00:11:11,580 --> 00:11:13,884
but l do hope
you'll both will be very happy.
162
00:11:14,015 --> 00:11:16,853
- Leslie, Pete tells me that you and he...
- Excuse me.
163
00:11:16,984 --> 00:11:19,655
- Yes sir, Mr. Mason, sir.
- Come here, Pete.
164
00:11:20,653 --> 00:11:22,923
Do l sign now? It's okay?
165
00:11:23,056 --> 00:11:24,981
l mean, it's a good deal, isn't it?
166
00:11:25,023 --> 00:11:28,262
Apparently you'll own the strip, all right,
but it's going to cost something.
167
00:11:28,393 --> 00:11:31,297
- Sure, ten grand.
- No. More than that.
168
00:11:31,429 --> 00:11:33,389
Pete, l think we oughta
find someplace to talk.
169
00:11:33,431 --> 00:11:35,390
- No. Wait.
- What for?
170
00:11:35,432 --> 00:11:37,469
What's going on?
Hey, what is all this?
171
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,600
Perhaps Miss Lawrence
would rather tell you.
172
00:11:39,701 --> 00:11:42,372
No... l mean, Gabe...
Where's Gabe?
173
00:11:42,504 --> 00:11:43,862
Tell me what, Leslie?
174
00:11:43,904 --> 00:11:46,074
That l'm going to Majorca
with Gabe Phillips.
175
00:11:46,206 --> 00:11:48,944
l'm sorry. l'm really sorry, Pete.
l wanted to tell you.
176
00:11:49,075 --> 00:11:51,279
l tried to tell you tonight,
but you wouldn't listen to me.
177
00:11:51,410 --> 00:11:52,902
Baby, it's a rib, isn't it?
178
00:11:52,944 --> 00:11:54,947
lt isn't a rib.
l'm going away with Gabe.
179
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:59,086
And, Pete, don't make a scene.
Now please let go of me.
180
00:12:04,786 --> 00:12:07,624
Gabe, you told that man.
You told him.
181
00:12:07,755 --> 00:12:09,248
Pete would have known tomorrow, anyway.
182
00:12:09,290 --> 00:12:11,116
What'd you have to do it that way for?
183
00:12:11,158 --> 00:12:12,851
Because you never got around to it.
184
00:12:12,893 --> 00:12:14,930
Look, honey, there's no easy way.
185
00:12:15,061 --> 00:12:17,230
You've got to let him have it
right between the eyes.
186
00:12:17,364 --> 00:12:19,700
Forget it.
Tomorrow we'll be long gone.
187
00:12:19,831 --> 00:12:21,831
whether l can scrape up
all that money or not.
188
00:12:21,900 --> 00:12:23,969
Darling, let's go tonight.
Right away. Please.
189
00:12:24,102 --> 00:12:26,572
Even if we just drive around
till plane time.
190
00:12:26,703 --> 00:12:29,941
l feel so bad about Pete.
And l don't want any more scenes
191
00:12:30,072 --> 00:12:32,743
Okay.
192
00:12:32,874 --> 00:12:35,945
l don't imagine those free-loaders
will miss us too much anyway.
193
00:12:36,077 --> 00:12:38,246
[glass shatters]
194
00:12:41,247 --> 00:12:43,207
[phone ringing]
195
00:12:43,249 --> 00:12:44,941
Hello?
196
00:12:44,983 --> 00:12:46,209
Yes.
197
00:12:46,251 --> 00:12:48,254
No. He's busy right now.
198
00:12:48,387 --> 00:12:51,325
No, l'm sorry.
Gabe can't come to the phone.
199
00:12:51,455 --> 00:12:53,692
Yes, l'll be glad to take a message.
200
00:12:53,823 --> 00:12:56,494
- Where? Port Harmony?
- [blow lands]
201
00:12:56,625 --> 00:12:59,563
[Women gasp, scream]
202
00:12:59,694 --> 00:13:03,067
All right, Manders.
One you're entitled to, but that's all.
203
00:13:03,131 --> 00:13:05,835
- l'm gonna beat you to a pulp!
- Oh, come on, Pete. Hold it.
204
00:13:05,966 --> 00:13:08,103
- All right.
- Come on. Now that's enough.
205
00:13:08,235 --> 00:13:10,471
l'll get even with him, Mr. Mason.
206
00:13:10,602 --> 00:13:14,141
You wait and see.
l'm gonna fix you good.
207
00:13:16,575 --> 00:13:18,500
Sorry, Mason,
but that's the way it goes.
208
00:13:18,542 --> 00:13:20,435
- Somebody wins, somebody loses.
- [door opens]
209
00:13:20,477 --> 00:13:23,682
- End of the folk show, kids. Drinking time.
- [door closes]
210
00:13:27,949 --> 00:13:29,342
Correct me if l'm wrong, Perry,
211
00:13:29,384 --> 00:13:33,290
but l think you could have stopped Pete
from throwing that first punch.
212
00:13:33,421 --> 00:13:37,494
As the man said,
he was entitled to one.
213
00:13:39,657 --> 00:13:40,950
What happened?
214
00:13:40,992 --> 00:13:43,096
Your boyfriend's a poor loser.
Didn't the phone ring?
215
00:13:43,227 --> 00:13:46,498
- Yes. l told him you were busy.
- Well, who was it? What did they want?
216
00:13:46,630 --> 00:13:48,799
l don't know.
Someone from Port Harmony.
217
00:13:48,931 --> 00:13:50,658
Port Harmony? A man?
218
00:13:50,700 --> 00:13:52,659
Yes. An Otto somebody.
219
00:13:52,701 --> 00:13:54,494
Was it Otto Gervaert?
Is that who it was?
220
00:13:54,536 --> 00:13:56,195
- l guess it was.
- Are you sure?
221
00:13:56,237 --> 00:13:57,729
Yes. It was Otto Gervaert.
222
00:13:57,771 --> 00:14:00,509
He said something about meeting you
in the usual place.
223
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,644
Anyway, l told him you were leaving town.
224
00:14:03,709 --> 00:14:05,570
Okay, honey,
but l've gotta go out now.
225
00:14:05,612 --> 00:14:07,612
- Now? Why?
- Unfinished business.
226
00:14:07,678 --> 00:14:10,717
l'll pick you up in plenty of time
to catch the plane.
227
00:14:10,848 --> 00:14:13,385
Gabe. Gabe.
228
00:14:13,517 --> 00:14:15,620
[door opens, closes]
229
00:14:55,315 --> 00:14:57,174
Nice car.
230
00:14:57,216 --> 00:14:58,709
Philistine.
231
00:14:58,751 --> 00:15:02,991
- But a foreign car.
- l repudiate them all.
232
00:16:01,699 --> 00:16:03,699
[Man]
Come in.
233
00:16:05,468 --> 00:16:07,804
[footsteps]
234
00:16:09,103 --> 00:16:11,740
Shh. l think it's Otto.
235
00:16:16,076 --> 00:16:18,580
lt is Otto.
You see, you were wrong, dear.
236
00:16:18,712 --> 00:16:22,819
- He did come back.
- [faint arguing]
237
00:16:22,947 --> 00:16:26,485
There's some man with him.
Someone just came in.
238
00:16:27,484 --> 00:16:30,121
l think l'll go have a pizza.
239
00:16:33,054 --> 00:16:35,258
[arguing continues]
240
00:16:50,301 --> 00:16:52,301
[gunshot]
241
00:16:59,908 --> 00:17:01,908
[gunshot]
242
00:17:09,649 --> 00:17:11,919
Myer, l despair of you.
243
00:17:12,051 --> 00:17:15,289
A man who covets an automobile
has the soul of a hitchhiker.
244
00:17:15,420 --> 00:17:17,280
- Didn't you hear that?
- l hear only greed.
245
00:17:17,322 --> 00:17:21,228
- l see only your envy
- But it sounded like a shot.
246
00:17:21,358 --> 00:17:23,594
l'm sure it was. Two shots.
247
00:17:23,726 --> 00:17:27,365
Does this concern us?
Does it, Myer?
248
00:17:27,496 --> 00:17:30,367
Even if someone realized the utter futility
249
00:17:30,498 --> 00:17:33,370
and repudiated life itself?
250
00:18:04,923 --> 00:18:06,684
Della, have you got hold
of Pete Manders yet?
251
00:18:06,726 --> 00:18:09,096
No. If he is home,
he's just not answering the phone.
252
00:18:09,227 --> 00:18:11,530
See if you can find
Leslie Lawrence's number.
253
00:18:11,662 --> 00:18:14,133
Found it and tried it.
No answer.
254
00:18:14,264 --> 00:18:16,768
Maybe she and Gabe Phillips
have already left for Majorca.
255
00:18:16,899 --> 00:18:18,825
l hope so.
256
00:18:18,867 --> 00:18:22,138
Pete may have cooled om.
On the other hand, he might be looking for...
257
00:18:22,270 --> 00:18:23,929
Try Gabe's number.
258
00:18:23,971 --> 00:18:26,374
All right.
259
00:18:27,874 --> 00:18:29,467
Something happen, Perry?
260
00:18:29,509 --> 00:18:31,778
l've been talking
to the newspaper syndicate.
261
00:18:33,612 --> 00:18:35,605
Hello? l'd like to s...
262
00:18:35,647 --> 00:18:37,984
Pete? Is this you?
263
00:18:38,115 --> 00:18:40,115
Tell Pete l'm on my way.
264
00:18:41,151 --> 00:18:44,456
This is Della Street in Mr. Mason's omice.
What are you doing there?
265
00:18:44,587 --> 00:18:46,891
Don't worry, Miss Street.
Phillips isn't here.
266
00:18:47,022 --> 00:18:48,681
l'm just cleaning out my desk.
267
00:18:48,723 --> 00:18:51,794
Pete, Mr. Mason's on his way over.
268
00:18:51,926 --> 00:18:54,897
l know, but you just be a good boy
and wait there.
269
00:19:04,602 --> 00:19:06,602
Morning, Pete.
270
00:19:08,338 --> 00:19:10,340
l guess it isn't a good morning, is it?
271
00:19:10,473 --> 00:19:12,609
But you didn't help matters much last night.
272
00:19:12,741 --> 00:19:15,378
What should l have done, Mr. Mason?
Stim upper lip?
273
00:19:15,510 --> 00:19:17,513
Good luck, old man?
Blessings on you both?
274
00:19:17,645 --> 00:19:20,616
l'd have broken his rotten skull
if you hadn't stopped me.
275
00:19:21,748 --> 00:19:24,719
Pete, you're too hotheaded
for your own good.
276
00:19:24,851 --> 00:19:27,689
Maybe l should've signed the paper first.
Is that what you'd have recommended?
277
00:19:27,820 --> 00:19:29,646
No. In fact,
that's the reason l came to see you...
278
00:19:29,688 --> 00:19:31,792
just in case you decided to be practical.
279
00:19:31,922 --> 00:19:34,025
He can take his lousy comic strip and...
280
00:19:34,157 --> 00:19:36,794
lt's not his comic strip.
281
00:19:36,925 --> 00:19:40,498
l contacted the newspaper syndicate
in New York this morning, Pete.
282
00:19:40,629 --> 00:19:41,854
Phillips lied.
283
00:19:41,896 --> 00:19:45,702
He didn't actually create the strip,
so he doesn't entirely own it.
284
00:19:45,833 --> 00:19:47,325
Then who does?
285
00:19:47,367 --> 00:19:50,606
They pay royalties to a man
named Otto Gervaert.
286
00:19:51,670 --> 00:19:53,707
That guy he bought the painting from.
287
00:19:53,839 --> 00:19:56,843
But then why did Gabe try
to get the 10,OOO out of me?
288
00:19:56,974 --> 00:19:59,712
To help finance his trip to Majorca,
l guess.
289
00:19:59,844 --> 00:20:01,636
He admitted he was shorter of funds
than he'd figured.
290
00:20:01,678 --> 00:20:04,115
That does it.
l tell you, l'm going to...
291
00:20:04,247 --> 00:20:07,018
- [door opens, closes]
- If l ever find that guy...
292
00:20:08,116 --> 00:20:10,116
Pete, settle down.
293
00:20:11,518 --> 00:20:15,324
He's gone, isn't he? Bag and baggage,
if you excuse the expression.
294
00:20:15,455 --> 00:20:17,248
- Hello, Mr. Mason.
- How do you do?
295
00:20:17,290 --> 00:20:19,359
We haven't met.
l saw you at the party last night.
296
00:20:19,491 --> 00:20:22,964
l'm Charles Montrose.
l do Gabe's tax returns and other things.
297
00:20:23,094 --> 00:20:26,032
- He pulled out, didn't he, Pete?
- l don't know where he is.
298
00:20:26,162 --> 00:20:27,989
That crazy painting he just bought's gone,
299
00:20:28,031 --> 00:20:31,536
and l'll bet everything else is,
too, if it's paid for.
300
00:20:31,667 --> 00:20:34,906
Look at these.
He left everything for me to clean up.
301
00:20:35,036 --> 00:20:38,207
Bills. What am l
supposed to pay them with?
302
00:20:38,338 --> 00:20:40,408
Must be three
or four thousand dollars' worth.
303
00:20:40,540 --> 00:20:42,844
And you can bet he didn't leave a dime
in his checking account.
304
00:20:42,975 --> 00:20:45,546
Why don't you sell everything he left behind
and put it in your pocket?
305
00:20:45,678 --> 00:20:47,637
This stum,
and that stum in there?
306
00:20:47,679 --> 00:20:51,152
He made a down payment, nothing more.
l'll just have to send it back.
307
00:20:51,282 --> 00:20:53,108
Doesn't he own anything outright?
308
00:20:53,150 --> 00:20:56,288
Nothing. Wait a minute.
His car.
309
00:20:56,419 --> 00:20:58,890
He paid cash for that, and he couldn't
take that with him on the plane.
310
00:20:59,021 --> 00:21:01,592
l'll lay you ten to one he sold it
before he left town.
311
00:21:01,723 --> 00:21:03,927
lf he did...
312
00:21:05,259 --> 00:21:08,731
You see, Mr. Mason,
l'm not the only person that loves Gabe.
313
00:21:08,862 --> 00:21:11,600
Pete, l think now is the time
to be practical.
314
00:21:11,730 --> 00:21:14,234
The syndicate needs someone
to handle the comic strip.
315
00:21:14,365 --> 00:21:17,471
- l don't want any part of it!
- It has no connection with Phillips.
316
00:21:17,602 --> 00:21:20,540
lf you can get a contract
with the syndicate or the creator
317
00:21:20,671 --> 00:21:23,142
or whoever has control,
l think you'd be very foolish not to do it.
318
00:21:23,272 --> 00:21:25,272
[door opens]
319
00:21:27,642 --> 00:21:29,642
What's the matter?
320
00:21:32,413 --> 00:21:34,413
Monty, what's wrong?
321
00:21:57,398 --> 00:21:59,601
No... l suppose he's...
322
00:22:01,735 --> 00:22:03,427
Rigor mortis has begun.
323
00:22:03,469 --> 00:22:06,741
That means he's probably been dead
for hours, maybe even since late last night.
324
00:22:06,872 --> 00:22:08,865
No. Don't look at me. l didn't...
325
00:22:08,907 --> 00:22:10,833
Didn't what, Pete?
326
00:22:10,875 --> 00:22:12,834
Where did you go after you left the party?
327
00:22:12,876 --> 00:22:15,113
Home. l went home.
328
00:22:15,244 --> 00:22:16,570
You live alone?
329
00:22:16,612 --> 00:22:19,918
Yes, all...alone.
330
00:22:26,286 --> 00:22:28,690
- Miss Leslie Lawrence?
- Yes. What is it?
331
00:22:28,822 --> 00:22:31,293
My name's Paul Drake.
l'm working for Perry Mason.
332
00:22:31,423 --> 00:22:33,560
- l understand you two met last night.
- Oh, just briefly.
333
00:22:33,692 --> 00:22:35,762
l'm sorry, Mr. Drake,
but l'm very busy.
334
00:22:35,894 --> 00:22:37,653
Packing for your trip?
335
00:22:37,695 --> 00:22:39,587
Really, Mr. Drake.
336
00:22:39,629 --> 00:22:42,133
l'm sorry, Miss Lawrence,
but it's been called.
337
00:22:42,264 --> 00:22:44,264
Gabe Phillips was murdered last night.
338
00:23:15,189 --> 00:23:17,016
The Lawrence girl says she took the call
339
00:23:17,058 --> 00:23:20,029
while Phillips was wrestling
with your client.
340
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,162
That'd be around 10:30.
341
00:23:22,294 --> 00:23:24,564
How long after that did Phillips
Ieave the apartment?
342
00:23:24,697 --> 00:23:26,122
Right away.
She said he turned white
343
00:23:26,164 --> 00:23:28,568
at the name of Otto Gervaert
and just rushed out.
344
00:23:28,700 --> 00:23:32,306
Pete swore he saw Phillips drive om,
so that much checks out.
345
00:23:32,436 --> 00:23:35,507
He could have waited for Phillips
to get back from Port Harmony.
346
00:23:35,638 --> 00:23:38,443
A round trip takes four hours, Paul.
It'd be a long wait.
347
00:23:38,574 --> 00:23:41,745
All right. So he went home,
brooded half the night,
348
00:23:41,877 --> 00:23:44,248
came back and shot Phillips
as he got out of the car.
349
00:23:44,378 --> 00:23:46,311
That's the way it looks to the police.
350
00:23:46,312 --> 00:23:48,113
l take it he doesn't have much
in the way of an alibi.
351
00:23:48,114 --> 00:23:50,114
None at all.
352
00:23:50,182 --> 00:23:52,853
So, what do you expect to find
in Port Harmony?
353
00:23:52,985 --> 00:23:54,985
Blackmailer perhaps.
354
00:24:08,830 --> 00:24:11,067
Well, this is where the guy
in the bar thinks he lives.
355
00:24:11,198 --> 00:24:13,969
Well, let's see if Mr. Gervaert is at home.
356
00:24:20,172 --> 00:24:22,172
[door opens]
357
00:24:24,175 --> 00:24:26,311
l wonder if you could tell us
where to find Otto Gervaert.
358
00:24:26,444 --> 00:24:28,136
Are you from the police?
359
00:24:28,178 --> 00:24:30,281
No. l'm a lawyer.
My name is Perry Mason.
360
00:24:30,413 --> 00:24:32,413
Oh, dear.
Well, l'm Miss Daphne Whilom.
361
00:24:32,481 --> 00:24:34,481
How do you do, Miss Whilom?
And this is Mr. Drake.
362
00:24:34,550 --> 00:24:37,187
How do you do?
Why did you think we were the police?
363
00:24:37,318 --> 00:24:39,177
Well, l can't imagine.
364
00:24:39,219 --> 00:24:41,222
l really don't know why l said it.
365
00:24:41,354 --> 00:24:43,354
Otto isn't here.
366
00:24:43,857 --> 00:24:45,816
Do you know where we can find him,
Miss Whilom?
367
00:24:45,858 --> 00:24:47,450
Oh, dear me, no.
368
00:24:47,492 --> 00:24:49,863
He might be out on the desert
or up in the hills.
369
00:24:49,994 --> 00:24:52,531
He never tells anyone where he goes,
370
00:24:52,663 --> 00:24:54,900
like all great painters.
371
00:24:55,032 --> 00:24:56,323
Do you know his work?
372
00:24:56,365 --> 00:24:59,938
l've seen one of his canvasses.
When did he leave?
373
00:25:00,069 --> 00:25:02,406
Well, l couldn't say.
374
00:25:02,537 --> 00:25:04,940
l have more to do
than to try to track down
375
00:25:05,006 --> 00:25:07,309
the goings and comings
of my tenants.
376
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,612
lt was last night, wasn't it,
right about the time he had a visitor?
377
00:25:10,743 --> 00:25:11,869
Well, how did you know?
378
00:25:11,911 --> 00:25:13,904
l think you'd better tell us what happened,
Miss Whilom.
379
00:25:13,946 --> 00:25:17,719
Well, some man came to see him.
l think he was from Hollywood.
380
00:25:17,849 --> 00:25:19,041
Did you see this man?
381
00:25:19,083 --> 00:25:21,320
Oh, no.
But l heard them talking.
382
00:25:21,451 --> 00:25:24,622
My apartment is right above Otto's studio.
383
00:25:24,753 --> 00:25:27,224
Oh, they were quarreling just violently.
384
00:25:27,355 --> 00:25:31,328
l don't know what it was about,
but it was just terrible.
385
00:25:31,458 --> 00:25:33,495
And then...
386
00:25:33,627 --> 00:25:35,053
[Mason]
Then what?
387
00:25:35,095 --> 00:25:38,266
Oh, dear
l suppose l must tel'l someone.
388
00:25:38,397 --> 00:25:40,633
l heard two shots fired.
389
00:25:40,765 --> 00:25:43,904
Two shots?
You're positive there were two?
390
00:25:44,035 --> 00:25:46,305
Oh, yes.
l heard them plainly.
391
00:25:46,437 --> 00:25:48,437
And then the man ran away.
392
00:25:48,538 --> 00:25:53,113
l've been trying to get up nerve all morning
to look into Otto's studio.
393
00:25:53,242 --> 00:25:55,445
Would you care to?
394
00:25:55,576 --> 00:25:58,882
l think you'd better call the police,
Miss Whilom, right away.
395
00:25:59,013 --> 00:26:01,417
Call the police. Yes.
396
00:26:05,918 --> 00:26:07,918
Aren't you going to take a look?
397
00:26:07,987 --> 00:26:09,989
Not until the police get here.
398
00:26:10,121 --> 00:26:13,260
Phillips was shot in the stomach, Paul.
Just once.
399
00:26:13,390 --> 00:26:14,883
So the other shot missed.
400
00:26:14,925 --> 00:26:16,283
l wonder if it did.
401
00:26:16,325 --> 00:26:17,985
You think Otto Gervaert's still in there?
402
00:26:18,027 --> 00:26:20,865
lf he is, l want
the local police to find him.
403
00:26:29,402 --> 00:26:32,073
l don't see anything that looks like a body.
404
00:26:36,607 --> 00:26:38,607
Blood.
405
00:26:38,676 --> 00:26:41,747
Somebody sure got themselves hurt
here last night.
406
00:26:41,878 --> 00:26:43,537
l don't mean just a nose bleed.
407
00:26:43,579 --> 00:26:47,585
Care to enlighten the small-town cops,
Mr. Mason?
408
00:26:47,716 --> 00:26:49,885
A man named Gabe Phillips in Hollywood
409
00:26:50,018 --> 00:26:52,122
received a telephone call
from Gervaert last night.
410
00:26:52,252 --> 00:26:53,712
Phillips left to come up here.
411
00:26:53,754 --> 00:26:55,958
l'd say he got here, wouldn't you?
412
00:26:56,990 --> 00:26:59,026
Well, there's no proof that he did.
413
00:26:59,158 --> 00:27:02,964
But Gervaert's landlady said that he'd been
quarreling with some man,
414
00:27:03,028 --> 00:27:04,954
and then later she heard two shots.
415
00:27:04,996 --> 00:27:06,855
Well, from the looks of that,
416
00:27:06,897 --> 00:27:09,301
one of 'em was shot, the other ran away.
417
00:27:09,432 --> 00:27:10,958
There's no proof of that either.
418
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:15,742
Phillips was found dead in his garage
this morning, in Hollywood.
419
00:27:15,871 --> 00:27:18,609
That's a long ways to go
with a bullet in you.
420
00:27:18,739 --> 00:27:20,739
Well, at least we know which one to look for.
421
00:27:20,807 --> 00:27:22,877
l'll check with the L.A. police.
In the meantime,
422
00:27:23,009 --> 00:27:25,009
l'll put out a pickup for Otto Gervaert.
423
00:27:34,518 --> 00:27:36,518
Perry.
424
00:27:39,822 --> 00:27:42,259
- Perry Mason, Miss Fiona Cregan.
- Hello.
425
00:27:42,390 --> 00:27:45,027
[Drake]
Miss Cregan is a friend of Gervaert's.
426
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:46,518
l was his girl.
427
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:50,065
She saw a man running out of the house
right after the shots.
428
00:27:51,197 --> 00:27:53,334
Did you see him well enough to identify him?
429
00:27:55,234 --> 00:27:57,127
l think so,
430
00:27:57,169 --> 00:27:59,505
if l ever saw him again.
431
00:27:59,637 --> 00:28:03,242
He wore a loud sort ofjacket.
432
00:28:04,406 --> 00:28:07,444
Yeah, l think l could.
433
00:28:07,576 --> 00:28:11,816
She gave me a description.
It was Phillips, all right.
434
00:28:14,881 --> 00:28:16,407
Save your breath, Counselor.
435
00:28:16,449 --> 00:28:19,688
l know the police in Port Harmony think
Phillips was shot by some local artist,
436
00:28:19,819 --> 00:28:22,690
but personally, l'm not convinced Phillips
even left Hollywood last night.
437
00:28:22,821 --> 00:28:24,379
Wait a minute, Andy.
438
00:28:24,421 --> 00:28:26,825
Let me introduce Miss Fiona Cregan.
439
00:28:26,957 --> 00:28:29,661
She saw Phillips
in Port Harmony last night.
440
00:28:29,792 --> 00:28:32,696
Saw him leave Otto Gervaert's studio
after the shots were fired.
441
00:28:32,828 --> 00:28:34,865
Saw Phillips?
442
00:28:34,997 --> 00:28:37,501
Let's go take a look at the body.
443
00:28:37,632 --> 00:28:39,632
You don't mind, do you, Miss Cregan?
444
00:28:44,938 --> 00:28:47,842
Yes, that's the man l saw last night.
445
00:28:47,973 --> 00:28:50,076
You're positive?
446
00:28:50,208 --> 00:28:52,312
l ought to know.
l was his girl.
447
00:28:53,844 --> 00:28:55,844
You were Phillips' girl, too?
448
00:28:56,579 --> 00:28:58,816
No. Otto Gervaert's.
449
00:28:58,948 --> 00:29:00,948
But this man is Gabe Phillips.
450
00:29:01,983 --> 00:29:05,089
Maybe that's what he called himself
in Hollywood.
451
00:29:06,387 --> 00:29:10,494
Up in Port Harmony,
he was known as Otto Gervaert.
452
00:29:12,158 --> 00:29:14,996
Andy, l'd say it changes everything.
453
00:29:15,127 --> 00:29:18,233
That girl must have guessed it
when she saw Phillips last night.
454
00:29:18,362 --> 00:29:20,189
Mmm. Well, with his hair cut short,
455
00:29:20,231 --> 00:29:22,501
and Gervaert never used to wear
anything but jeans.
456
00:29:22,632 --> 00:29:24,524
He used to disappear
for weeks at a time.
457
00:29:24,566 --> 00:29:28,739
Andy, a double identity
isn't that easy to hide.
458
00:29:28,871 --> 00:29:30,871
There must've been others who guessed.
459
00:29:30,938 --> 00:29:32,898
lf the murder did take place up there,
460
00:29:32,940 --> 00:29:34,940
it must have been someone
in Port Harmony who...
461
00:29:35,042 --> 00:29:37,042
Perry, l'd say this changes nothing.
462
00:29:37,110 --> 00:29:40,048
Oh, but you're right about it being someone
who was up in Port Harmony.
463
00:29:40,179 --> 00:29:42,650
l thought we had plenty of evidence
against your client before.
464
00:29:42,781 --> 00:29:44,850
But now? Here.
465
00:29:44,983 --> 00:29:46,983
Take a look at this.
466
00:29:47,051 --> 00:29:50,791
A gasoline receipt from a service station
in Port Harmony, dated yesterday.
467
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,758
The attendant says
signed late last night.
468
00:29:55,356 --> 00:29:57,426
Pete Manders.
469
00:30:04,763 --> 00:30:06,766
Raise your right hand.
470
00:30:06,899 --> 00:30:09,870
Take a good look at that girl, Pete.
471
00:30:10,001 --> 00:30:11,794
Did you see her on the night of the murder?
472
00:30:11,836 --> 00:30:15,408
How could l?
l told you, l never got near that old house.
473
00:30:15,539 --> 00:30:18,109
You also told me you went home
after the party.
474
00:30:18,241 --> 00:30:22,881
Now, Miss Cregan, how long
had you known the deceased?
475
00:30:23,011 --> 00:30:25,949
Ever since l came to Port Harmony.
Six years.
476
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,284
And you had a very close friendship
with him?
477
00:30:29,849 --> 00:30:32,854
l was his girl,
when he was there.
478
00:30:32,985 --> 00:30:34,944
But you did know about this masquerade,
479
00:30:34,986 --> 00:30:37,323
this other existence of his in Hollywood
480
00:30:37,455 --> 00:30:40,560
where he was known as Gabe Phillips?
481
00:30:40,690 --> 00:30:44,396
[Fiona]
l only knew he'd met another woman.
482
00:30:44,526 --> 00:30:46,997
Now, Miss Cregan,
would you please tell the court
483
00:30:47,129 --> 00:30:49,466
what you saw the night of the murder.
484
00:30:50,665 --> 00:30:52,869
Well, l was walking down the street,
485
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,038
and l saw Otto
come running out of this house,
486
00:30:56,169 --> 00:30:58,239
and he was staggering.
487
00:30:58,372 --> 00:30:59,830
l thought he was drunk.
488
00:30:59,872 --> 00:31:01,872
[Lawyer]
You're sure it was Otto Gervaert?
489
00:31:01,940 --> 00:31:03,943
[Fiona]
Oh, yes. He was wearing dimerent clothes.
490
00:31:04,008 --> 00:31:05,701
He had his hair cut short.
491
00:31:05,743 --> 00:31:08,481
Of course, at that time, l knew nothing
about Gabe Phillips,
492
00:31:08,611 --> 00:31:11,015
but l recognized it was really Otto,
all right.
493
00:31:11,147 --> 00:31:13,484
- Did you speak to him?
- No.
494
00:31:13,615 --> 00:31:15,852
No? Why not?
495
00:31:15,984 --> 00:31:17,984
l mean, why didn't you approach him?
496
00:31:18,986 --> 00:31:21,557
Well, he'd left me.
l never wanted to see him again.
497
00:31:21,688 --> 00:31:24,626
Oh. Well, thank you, Miss Cregan.
498
00:31:24,757 --> 00:31:27,061
Cross-examine, Mr. Mason?
499
00:31:31,662 --> 00:31:35,000
Miss Cregan,
approximately what time was it
500
00:31:35,132 --> 00:31:37,436
when you saw the decedent
run out of the house?
501
00:31:37,566 --> 00:31:40,237
After midnight, l guess.
502
00:31:40,369 --> 00:31:42,262
Maybe later.
503
00:31:42,304 --> 00:31:44,163
You were alone?
504
00:31:44,205 --> 00:31:47,076
Yes. l'd been out to have a pizza.
505
00:31:47,207 --> 00:31:50,613
When l saw Otto,
l walked om the other way.
506
00:31:50,743 --> 00:31:53,681
l take it you were jealous
of this other woman in his life?
507
00:31:53,812 --> 00:31:55,605
Perhaps.
508
00:31:55,647 --> 00:31:58,952
- And you were angry with Otto?
- l suppose so.
509
00:31:59,083 --> 00:32:02,689
Did you ever get so angry with him
that you made a threat against his life?
510
00:32:03,953 --> 00:32:05,953
l don't remember.
511
00:32:08,891 --> 00:32:12,296
From the amount of blood and the statements
from the landlady about those shots,
512
00:32:12,427 --> 00:32:14,631
l figured somebody
had been murdered in that studio.
513
00:32:15,729 --> 00:32:18,200
And how did you proceed then,
Sergeant Buck?
514
00:32:18,331 --> 00:32:20,331
On the assumption that this artist Gervaert
515
00:32:20,433 --> 00:32:22,433
had shot Gabe Phillips and then ran away.
516
00:32:22,500 --> 00:32:24,394
And it was not until later
that you discovered
517
00:32:24,436 --> 00:32:28,376
that Otto Gervaert
was in fact Gabe Phillips?
518
00:32:28,504 --> 00:32:31,141
Your Honor, the proper identification
519
00:32:31,274 --> 00:32:35,147
would be that Gabe Phillips
was in fact Otto Gervaert.
520
00:32:35,277 --> 00:32:37,277
[Judge]
Of course.
521
00:32:38,180 --> 00:32:40,005
Go on, Sergeant.
522
00:32:40,047 --> 00:32:43,118
Well, anyway, when it turned out the murder
took place in Port Harmony,
523
00:32:43,249 --> 00:32:45,920
the L.A. police
turned over their evidence to us.
524
00:32:47,019 --> 00:32:49,556
My name is Charles Montrose,
and l'm a tax accountant.
525
00:32:49,687 --> 00:32:51,957
And the deceased was one of your clients?
526
00:32:52,089 --> 00:32:54,015
Yes, l took care of his taxes
527
00:32:54,057 --> 00:32:57,363
from the time he started making big money
with the comic strip, Zingy.
528
00:32:58,961 --> 00:33:01,498
l now show you a revolver
which has been identified
529
00:33:01,629 --> 00:33:03,523
as the weapon which killed Gabe Phillips.
530
00:33:03,565 --> 00:33:05,601
Objection.
531
00:33:07,100 --> 00:33:09,604
Your Honor, the murdered man's name
was Otto Gervaert.
532
00:33:09,735 --> 00:33:12,306
The defense counsel is quite right,
Your Honor.
533
00:33:12,438 --> 00:33:14,575
But since the witness on the stand now
534
00:33:14,706 --> 00:33:16,598
knew the deceased only as Gabe Phillips,
535
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:20,380
l think it would be less confusing
to refer to him by that name.
536
00:33:20,510 --> 00:33:24,216
l think l understand the reason
for your objection, Mr. Mason,
537
00:33:24,347 --> 00:33:28,120
but in the interest of clarity,
l'm going to overrule you for the moment.
538
00:33:28,250 --> 00:33:31,556
Thank you, Your Honor.
Do you recognize the gun?
539
00:33:32,854 --> 00:33:34,246
Yeah. Yes, sir.
540
00:33:34,288 --> 00:33:36,114
lt belonged to Gabe Phillips.
541
00:33:36,156 --> 00:33:38,293
He kept it in a drawer in his desk.
542
00:33:38,425 --> 00:33:40,050
Was that generally known?
543
00:33:40,092 --> 00:33:42,262
All the cartoonists who worked there
knew about it.
544
00:33:42,394 --> 00:33:45,632
Was the defendant, Pete Manders,
one of those cartoonists?
545
00:33:46,630 --> 00:33:48,089
He was.
546
00:33:48,131 --> 00:33:50,125
Now, how long had you been aware
547
00:33:50,167 --> 00:33:52,503
of Gabe Phillips'
intended departure for Majorca?
548
00:33:53,668 --> 00:33:56,339
[Montrose] A couple of days.
l made out a check for the plane tickets.
549
00:33:56,471 --> 00:33:58,031
[Lawyer]
To whom were those tickets issued?
550
00:33:58,073 --> 00:34:00,376
One was made out
in Gabe Phillips' name.
551
00:34:00,508 --> 00:34:03,513
And the other one?
552
00:34:03,576 --> 00:34:05,576
Miss Leslie Lawrence.
553
00:34:05,677 --> 00:34:07,337
[Lawyer]
Thank you, Mr. Montrose.
554
00:34:07,379 --> 00:34:09,850
Do you wish to cross-examine,
Mr. Mason?
555
00:34:13,351 --> 00:34:16,322
Mr. Montrose, were you aware
that your client
556
00:34:16,453 --> 00:34:18,990
was actually Otto Gervaert,
a painter living in Port Harmony?
557
00:34:19,121 --> 00:34:20,414
No, sir.
558
00:34:20,456 --> 00:34:22,726
You could've knocked me over
when l read about it in the paper.
559
00:34:23,791 --> 00:34:26,862
You had no intimation of it
from his financial amairs?
560
00:34:26,994 --> 00:34:29,031
That's right.
Nobody knew about it.
561
00:34:29,162 --> 00:34:33,135
But you prepared Gervaert's tax forms
in Hollywood.
562
00:34:33,266 --> 00:34:35,191
What about his tax returns in Port Harmony?
563
00:34:35,233 --> 00:34:37,233
l'm going to have to object here,
Your Honor.
564
00:34:37,302 --> 00:34:39,506
lt's already been agreed
that the witness on the stand
565
00:34:39,637 --> 00:34:42,074
knew the deceased only as Gabe Phillips.
566
00:34:42,206 --> 00:34:44,206
lf it please the court,
l think we're dealing here with the question
567
00:34:44,307 --> 00:34:46,744
of who was actually murdered,
Gervaert or Phillips.
568
00:34:46,875 --> 00:34:48,835
A corpse by any name is just as dead.
569
00:34:48,877 --> 00:34:52,349
l don't think we need any levity,
Mr. Clark.
570
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,650
Both of you gentlemen
will approach the bench.
571
00:34:58,918 --> 00:35:00,143
You first, Mr. Mason.
572
00:35:00,185 --> 00:35:04,960
Your Honor, the murder occurred
in the residence of Otto Gervaert.
573
00:35:05,023 --> 00:35:07,527
lt happened in the domicile of Otto Gervaert.
574
00:35:07,658 --> 00:35:10,062
lt's a reasonable assumption,
therefore, that the murderer
575
00:35:10,193 --> 00:35:13,398
committed the crime against a man
known to him only by that name.
576
00:35:13,529 --> 00:35:16,333
ln other words,
that the murderer was someone
577
00:35:16,464 --> 00:35:18,801
among his Port Harmony associates.
578
00:35:18,933 --> 00:35:21,404
The purpose of this hearing,
Your Honor, is to present evidence
579
00:35:21,535 --> 00:35:24,640
that Pete Manders killed Gabe Phillips
and nobody else.
580
00:35:24,771 --> 00:35:27,375
Now, what defense counselor
could possibly want by...
581
00:35:27,507 --> 00:35:30,144
What l want is the opportunity
to cross-examine
582
00:35:30,275 --> 00:35:32,067
Gervaert's associates in the art colony.
583
00:35:32,109 --> 00:35:33,835
lt is not what defense counsel wants
584
00:35:33,877 --> 00:35:36,214
that should control the prosecution,
Your Honor
585
00:35:36,346 --> 00:35:39,150
but what is required for an orderly
presentation of the case.
586
00:35:40,883 --> 00:35:44,355
l think we'll proceed on the basis
of the State's presentation,
587
00:35:44,485 --> 00:35:47,122
with no further quibbling over the name.
588
00:35:47,254 --> 00:35:49,254
That understood?
589
00:35:52,657 --> 00:35:55,028
[Leslie]
Yes, l fell in love with Gabe Phillips.
590
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,931
lt proved to be rather
an aw_ard situation, because,
591
00:35:58,063 --> 00:36:00,901
well, l'd been going around
with Mr. Manders.
592
00:36:01,031 --> 00:36:03,024
ln fact, he was telling people
we were engaged.
593
00:36:03,066 --> 00:36:06,539
When did the defendant discover
how you really felt about him?
594
00:36:06,668 --> 00:36:08,668
Oh, that night at the party.
595
00:36:08,770 --> 00:36:11,941
Gabe and l were leaving the next day
for Majorca.
596
00:36:12,073 --> 00:36:13,865
We were planning to be married there.
597
00:36:13,907 --> 00:36:16,812
And that was when the defendant
became so upset?
598
00:36:16,943 --> 00:36:19,179
Yes, that's right.
It was then that Pete...
599
00:36:19,311 --> 00:36:23,919
l mean, Mr. Manders hit Mr. Phillips
and made all those threats.
600
00:36:26,417 --> 00:36:30,190
This is a receipt of l31/z gallons of gasoline.
601
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:31,979
l filled it out the night of the murder.
602
00:36:32,021 --> 00:36:33,680
Close to midnight, l guess.
603
00:36:33,722 --> 00:36:37,328
Do you see the man who bought gas
from you here in the courtroom?
604
00:36:38,326 --> 00:36:41,030
Yes, sir.
That's him, the defendant.
605
00:36:44,397 --> 00:36:47,503
Uh, they were having this terrible quarrel.
606
00:36:47,634 --> 00:36:51,139
Their voices came up the flue
from Otto's fireplace.
607
00:36:51,268 --> 00:36:53,372
Then you did recognize the voices?
608
00:36:54,605 --> 00:36:57,476
Yes. Otto's.
l'd know that anywhere.
609
00:36:57,607 --> 00:37:00,813
But the other man?
No, l didn't know his voice.
610
00:37:00,943 --> 00:37:03,614
Can you tell us anything specifically
611
00:37:03,678 --> 00:37:06,482
about which you heard them quarrelling,
Miss Whilom?
612
00:37:06,614 --> 00:37:09,385
Well, l only heard snatches, of course,
613
00:37:09,516 --> 00:37:13,456
but this other man seemed to be
very angry with Otto.
614
00:37:13,586 --> 00:37:15,211
About what?
615
00:37:15,253 --> 00:37:17,253
Well, l couldn't make it out.
616
00:37:17,322 --> 00:37:21,562
- Otto said something about Leslie.
- Leslie?
617
00:37:21,691 --> 00:37:25,431
l heard him say ''Leslie,''
and then came the shots.
618
00:37:27,497 --> 00:37:29,700
Thank you, Miss Whilom.
619
00:37:29,830 --> 00:37:32,034
Cross-examine, Mr. Mason.
620
00:37:35,403 --> 00:37:39,576
Miss Whilom, how long had you known
Otto Gervaert?
621
00:37:41,006 --> 00:37:44,912
Ever since he came to Port Harmony,
about six years ago.
622
00:37:45,043 --> 00:37:47,146
Was he a successful painter at that time?
623
00:37:47,277 --> 00:37:49,481
Oh, no.
He hadn't been discovered.
624
00:37:49,613 --> 00:37:52,852
But l recognized his talents instantly.
625
00:37:52,982 --> 00:37:57,756
ln my house, Otto Gervaert became
the greatest painter in America.
626
00:37:57,885 --> 00:38:00,322
l sat at his feet.
627
00:38:00,454 --> 00:38:02,524
And yet, Miss Whilom,
you heard Otto
628
00:38:02,589 --> 00:38:04,625
having a violent quarrel
with an unknown man,
629
00:38:04,757 --> 00:38:06,384
a quarrel followed by two shots,
630
00:38:06,426 --> 00:38:08,426
and you didn't go downstairs to investigate?
631
00:38:09,194 --> 00:38:12,432
Well, l was frightened.
l was all alone.
632
00:38:12,563 --> 00:38:14,289
Of course you were frightened,
Miss Whilom.
633
00:38:14,331 --> 00:38:16,333
But he was your friend.
634
00:38:16,466 --> 00:38:20,239
Now, do you want us to believe that you were
so frightened you did absolutely nothing?
635
00:38:20,369 --> 00:38:22,369
Well, not right away.
636
00:38:22,471 --> 00:38:25,042
A moment or two later, then.
You still did nothing?
637
00:38:25,173 --> 00:38:27,677
Well, the studio was empty.
He was gone.
638
00:38:27,808 --> 00:38:30,345
Then you did go downstairs
to investigate.
639
00:38:30,477 --> 00:38:32,546
He wasn't there.
No one was.
640
00:38:32,679 --> 00:38:34,605
And knowing he might've been wounded,
641
00:38:34,647 --> 00:38:36,817
possibly even dying,
642
00:38:36,948 --> 00:38:38,774
you weren't concerned enough
to look further?
643
00:38:38,816 --> 00:38:40,776
To call someone to help you look further?
644
00:38:40,818 --> 00:38:42,611
The hall was empty.
645
00:38:42,653 --> 00:38:44,823
Not a soul downstairs.
646
00:38:44,954 --> 00:38:46,313
What about the street?
647
00:38:46,355 --> 00:38:47,947
There was no one in the street, either.
648
00:38:47,989 --> 00:38:50,893
- No one else's car.
- No one else's car?
649
00:38:51,025 --> 00:38:53,863
What about Otto's car, Miss Whilom?
650
00:38:53,994 --> 00:38:56,932
Was his car still in the street
when you ran outside for help?
651
00:38:57,063 --> 00:38:59,300
Yes, he was in his car.
652
00:38:59,432 --> 00:39:02,370
But nothing could've been done for him.
653
00:39:02,501 --> 00:39:04,605
He was already dead.
654
00:39:04,737 --> 00:39:07,006
Now, Miss Whilom,
655
00:39:07,137 --> 00:39:08,664
will you please explain to this court
656
00:39:08,706 --> 00:39:12,144
how a dead man drove his car
all the way to Hollywood,
657
00:39:12,274 --> 00:39:15,178
120 miles away?
658
00:39:17,278 --> 00:39:20,684
[murmuring]
659
00:39:30,422 --> 00:39:34,061
l just can't picture Miss Whilom driving
a dead body all the way to Hollywood.
660
00:39:34,191 --> 00:39:37,362
Well, somebody did.
The question is why?
661
00:39:37,494 --> 00:39:40,298
l think it has to do
with the dual identities.
662
00:39:40,429 --> 00:39:44,002
Somebody in Port Harmony wanted the corpse
to be Phillips, not Gervaert.
663
00:39:44,132 --> 00:39:46,769
Then the murderer must be
somebody here in Port Harmony.
664
00:39:46,900 --> 00:39:48,769
No, not necessarily.
665
00:39:48,770 --> 00:39:51,841
One of Phillips' Hollywood friends could have
faked that phone call to lure him up here.
666
00:39:51,971 --> 00:39:53,297
Then, if he'd been murdered as Gervaert,
667
00:39:53,339 --> 00:39:55,339
there'd be nothing to connect him
with the Hollywood crowd.
668
00:39:55,407 --> 00:39:57,033
[Mason]
What about those tax records, Paul?
669
00:39:57,075 --> 00:39:59,379
[Drake] Phillips had copies in his apartment,
and l got photostats.
670
00:39:59,511 --> 00:40:02,148
Also a bank statement.
They're all here.
671
00:40:02,279 --> 00:40:04,515
Now see what you can find
on Gervaert's private papers.
672
00:40:04,648 --> 00:40:08,020
That's not so easy. In Hollywood,
Phillips had a real emicient operation.
673
00:40:08,150 --> 00:40:11,121
By the looks of Gervaert's studio,
up here he kept house like a slob.
674
00:40:11,253 --> 00:40:12,845
Well, you can try.
675
00:40:12,887 --> 00:40:15,891
l also want you to check with
the Department of Motor Vehicles.
676
00:40:17,823 --> 00:40:22,631
Yes, Your Honor
l'm ready to answer quest'ions now.
677
00:40:22,761 --> 00:40:24,898
All right, Mr. Mason, proceed.
678
00:40:26,164 --> 00:40:29,569
Let's pick up where we left om yesterday,
Miss Whilom.
679
00:40:30,567 --> 00:40:34,140
Now, would you please tell this court,
680
00:40:34,270 --> 00:40:37,675
who transported the decedent's body
to Hollywood?
681
00:40:38,673 --> 00:40:40,910
l did, Mr. Mason.
682
00:40:41,041 --> 00:40:42,933
You have a driver's license?
683
00:40:42,975 --> 00:40:44,703
No.
684
00:40:44,745 --> 00:40:50,521
Miss Whilom, isn't it true
that you've never driven a car?
685
00:40:50,649 --> 00:40:54,689
No, that's not true.
l drove my father's car.
686
00:40:54,819 --> 00:40:57,423
When? How many years ago?
687
00:40:57,554 --> 00:41:00,225
- [spectators chuckling]
- [gavel tapping]
688
00:41:00,355 --> 00:41:02,215
All right, Miss Whilom.
689
00:41:02,257 --> 00:41:05,395
We'll go on to your reason
for wanting the body moved.
690
00:41:05,459 --> 00:41:07,930
You did it to protect someone, didn't you?
691
00:41:08,061 --> 00:41:09,087
[Daphne]
No.
692
00:41:09,129 --> 00:41:12,200
l just didn't want any scandal
here in Port Harmony.
693
00:41:12,331 --> 00:41:14,334
When you saw the decedent's body,
694
00:41:14,466 --> 00:41:16,870
you were afraid Miss Cregan had killed him,
isn't that right?
695
00:41:17,001 --> 00:41:18,327
[Daphne]
No!
696
00:41:18,369 --> 00:41:20,228
[Mason]
She'd been jilted by Gervaert.
697
00:41:20,270 --> 00:41:21,897
She was angry and jealous.
698
00:41:21,939 --> 00:41:24,409
So you had his body taken
to the apartment in Hollywood
699
00:41:24,541 --> 00:41:26,810
where he was known as Gabe Phillips,
700
00:41:26,942 --> 00:41:29,780
hoping no connection would be made
with his other identity here.
701
00:41:31,011 --> 00:41:33,011
lsn't that true, Miss Whilom?
702
00:41:33,614 --> 00:41:35,614
Well, isn't it?
703
00:41:36,516 --> 00:41:39,989
Your Honor, l will call
Alexander Glovatski to the stand.
704
00:41:47,157 --> 00:41:49,361
- [Man] Raise your right hand.
- Here's some papers you'll find interesting
705
00:41:49,492 --> 00:41:52,129
and a list of everything in his studio,
which just proves one thing.
706
00:41:52,261 --> 00:41:54,598
- What's that, Paul?
- Gervaert was a slob.
707
00:41:54,730 --> 00:41:56,557
[Glovatski]
Alexander Glovatski.
708
00:41:56,599 --> 00:41:58,702
[Man]
Be seated.
709
00:41:58,833 --> 00:42:01,337
Mr. Glovatski,
did you transport the body
710
00:42:01,468 --> 00:42:04,272
of the deceased to the garage
of his Hollywood apartment?
711
00:42:04,337 --> 00:42:05,963
lndubitably.
712
00:42:06,005 --> 00:42:07,531
Upon whose request?
713
00:42:07,573 --> 00:42:08,666
Daphne's.
714
00:42:08,708 --> 00:42:11,779
You refer to the previous witness,
Daphne Whilom?
715
00:42:11,909 --> 00:42:13,979
The same.
716
00:42:14,111 --> 00:42:16,548
Thank you. No further questions.
717
00:42:20,583 --> 00:42:24,255
Mr. Glovatski,
you're aware that the prosecutor
718
00:42:24,385 --> 00:42:26,489
has just used you
to impeach his own witness?
719
00:42:26,621 --> 00:42:29,225
l am aware of the truth of what l say.
720
00:42:29,356 --> 00:42:32,327
Do you know that tampering
with evidence is a felony?
721
00:42:32,458 --> 00:42:34,862
These are words for lawyers.
722
00:42:34,993 --> 00:42:36,520
And what is a jail for?
723
00:42:36,562 --> 00:42:38,865
The world is a jail.
724
00:42:38,996 --> 00:42:42,369
But you were aware
of what you were doing, were you not?
725
00:42:42,499 --> 00:42:44,325
l did it.
726
00:42:44,367 --> 00:42:49,242
You must have had a very compelling reason
to agree to the committing of such an act.
727
00:42:49,371 --> 00:42:52,242
What was it? Money?
Did Miss Whilom pay you?
728
00:42:52,373 --> 00:42:54,677
l have no use for money.
729
00:42:54,808 --> 00:42:56,635
[Mason]
Don't you?
730
00:42:56,677 --> 00:42:59,113
You're a sculptor,
l believe, Mr. Glovatski.
731
00:42:59,245 --> 00:43:01,748
Have you ever sold any of your works?
732
00:43:01,881 --> 00:43:04,919
l am an artist, not a peddler.
733
00:43:04,982 --> 00:43:06,982
Then how do you live?
734
00:43:09,619 --> 00:43:14,127
Mr. Glovatski, why were you willing
to transport a dead body?
735
00:43:14,256 --> 00:43:16,627
Because Gervaert
had betrayed his talent.
736
00:43:16,759 --> 00:43:19,797
He sold his birthright
to the money changers.
737
00:43:19,928 --> 00:43:23,934
l eradicated his presence
from the temple of the arts.
738
00:43:24,063 --> 00:43:26,467
Do you expect this court to belie...
739
00:43:32,403 --> 00:43:34,229
No, of course you don't.
740
00:43:34,271 --> 00:43:36,271
That's all for now.
741
00:43:42,577 --> 00:43:45,014
Well, our newspaper syndicate
paid Gabe Phillips
742
00:43:45,146 --> 00:43:49,686
about _100,OOO a year to manage
and draw the comic strip.
743
00:43:49,817 --> 00:43:52,621
Of course,
we paid a royalty of 40,OOO
744
00:43:52,752 --> 00:43:55,723
to the man Phillips said
had created the character of Zingy.
745
00:43:55,854 --> 00:43:57,346
To Otto Gervaert, that is.
746
00:43:57,388 --> 00:44:00,226
Can you tell us how much the defendant,
Pete Manders, received?
747
00:44:00,357 --> 00:44:05,032
As Phillips' senior artist, his salary was
approximately _10,OOO a year, l believe.
748
00:44:05,094 --> 00:44:08,466
[Clark] In the event of death
or disabling injury to Gabe Phillips,
749
00:44:08,597 --> 00:44:10,490
had your syndicate made any plans
750
00:44:10,532 --> 00:44:13,938
to have some other man continue
drawing and managing the strip?
751
00:44:14,068 --> 00:44:17,106
We'd taken that precaution, yes.
In fact, we'd discussed it
752
00:44:17,236 --> 00:44:18,696
with both Phillips and Manders.
753
00:44:18,738 --> 00:44:20,908
Manders was to take over in the event
of any such contingency.
754
00:44:21,039 --> 00:44:24,277
And what sort of salary would the defendant
then have received?
755
00:44:24,408 --> 00:44:26,945
We planned to raise Pete
to at least 60,OOO.
756
00:44:27,077 --> 00:44:29,514
From ten to si_y.
757
00:44:29,646 --> 00:44:32,317
Thank you.
No further questions.
758
00:44:35,317 --> 00:44:37,787
Mr. Newburgh, you say Phillips
759
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,791
received 100,OOO and Gervaert 40 more.
760
00:44:40,922 --> 00:44:44,995
That would be a total of _140,OOO a year
that you paid to the same man?
761
00:44:45,124 --> 00:44:47,194
Well, if you put it that way, yes.
762
00:44:47,326 --> 00:44:49,830
But we certainly had no idea
that Phillips was Gervaert, too.
763
00:44:49,962 --> 00:44:53,767
Your Honor, l would like to recall
a previous witness...
764
00:44:53,898 --> 00:44:56,201
- Now, just a moment...
- ...to clarify an earlier point
765
00:44:56,332 --> 00:44:58,869
and a possible new motive for murder,
Your Honor.
766
00:45:00,168 --> 00:45:02,505
But l already said l handled
Phillips' taxes.
767
00:45:02,571 --> 00:45:04,908
As well as the returns for Otto Gervaert?
768
00:45:05,039 --> 00:45:07,943
Certainly not. l never even knew
there was such a creature.
769
00:45:08,074 --> 00:45:10,478
But you did make out tax returns
for Gabe Phillips
770
00:45:10,610 --> 00:45:12,714
on a gross income
of over a _1 OO, OOO.
771
00:45:12,846 --> 00:45:15,784
There were a great many
deductions, of course.
772
00:45:15,914 --> 00:45:18,018
Business expenses and so on.
773
00:45:18,149 --> 00:45:21,487
No matter how much he earned, the way Gabe
spent money, he never ended up with much.
774
00:45:21,618 --> 00:45:25,257
Would you say it was more advantageous
for a man to take his deductions
775
00:45:25,388 --> 00:45:28,292
from a _100,OOO income
or a _40,OOO income?
776
00:45:28,423 --> 00:45:30,049
l don't understand.
777
00:45:30,091 --> 00:45:31,451
Don't you?
778
00:45:31,493 --> 00:45:34,798
l thought everyone was aware that
the higher the income, the greater the tax.
779
00:45:34,928 --> 00:45:37,065
Oh, well, yes, but...
780
00:45:37,196 --> 00:45:40,969
So wouldn't it be obvious that if
Otto Gervaert had any deductible expenses,
781
00:45:41,099 --> 00:45:45,139
he'd save money by writing them om
on Gabe Phillips' income tax?
782
00:45:45,269 --> 00:45:47,539
No. No, that's not possible.
783
00:45:47,671 --> 00:45:51,911
Mr. Montrose, Phillips had quite a number
of employees, did he not?
784
00:45:52,042 --> 00:45:54,846
A certain of the artists on Zingy
worked for the syndicate.
785
00:45:54,977 --> 00:45:57,348
Yes, there were a few whom Gabe paid direct...
786
00:45:57,478 --> 00:45:59,472
some full, some part time.
787
00:45:59,514 --> 00:46:03,520
l show you this photostat
of Phillips' tax return for last year...
788
00:46:03,583 --> 00:46:07,189
the separate schedule here...
and ask you to read this list of names.
789
00:46:07,319 --> 00:46:09,319
- l don't see...
- Just read the names, please, Mr. Montrose.
790
00:46:11,022 --> 00:46:13,459
Gabe gave money to Pete Manders,
791
00:46:13,590 --> 00:46:15,660
Joseph Sullivan, Jeremy Stark
792
00:46:15,793 --> 00:46:19,332
and Alexander Glovatski.
793
00:46:24,098 --> 00:46:26,091
_500.
794
00:46:26,133 --> 00:46:28,202
Just 500 paltry dollars.
795
00:46:28,334 --> 00:46:30,194
For what, Mr. Glovatski?
796
00:46:30,236 --> 00:46:33,240
Like the man said,
this Phillips hired artists.
797
00:46:33,372 --> 00:46:35,298
But you're a sculptor, not a cartoonist.
798
00:46:35,340 --> 00:46:39,080
There is a dimerence,
l grant that, but only that.
799
00:46:39,210 --> 00:46:42,081
And you just said
you never heard of Gabe Phillips.
800
00:46:42,212 --> 00:46:45,684
Very well.
l repudiate myself.
801
00:46:45,816 --> 00:46:49,221
Mr. Glovatski, you are under oath,
802
00:46:49,350 --> 00:46:51,554
and l'm quite sure
you understand what that means.
803
00:46:51,686 --> 00:46:54,690
Now, who paid you that money?
Otto Gervaert or Gabe Phillips?
804
00:46:54,822 --> 00:46:58,562
lt was Gervaert.
A donation to keep sculpture alive.
805
00:46:58,691 --> 00:47:01,529
You mean a donation to keep blackmail alive,
don't you?
806
00:47:01,660 --> 00:47:04,197
Now, you knew about his double identity.
807
00:47:04,261 --> 00:47:07,700
lsn't that why you were so anxious
that his body not be found in Port Harmony?
808
00:47:08,732 --> 00:47:11,035
Yes. Say any name you want.
809
00:47:11,167 --> 00:47:14,572
You also took other payments from him.
810
00:47:14,703 --> 00:47:17,674
You were the one person in town who knew
Otto Gervaert's secret.
811
00:47:18,940 --> 00:47:21,010
You were the one person
812
00:47:21,141 --> 00:47:22,700
whose only source of income
813
00:47:22,742 --> 00:47:24,736
would've ended
with his leaving for Majorca.
814
00:47:24,778 --> 00:47:27,149
No! No, that's not true!
815
00:47:27,279 --> 00:47:30,317
You must believe.
Only three payments l took.
816
00:47:30,448 --> 00:47:32,518
One for 50, one for _28.
817
00:47:32,650 --> 00:47:34,509
lt wasn't my idea... the 500.
818
00:47:34,551 --> 00:47:36,511
Otto himself said the government would pay.
819
00:47:36,553 --> 00:47:38,446
His own money was being saved.
820
00:47:38,488 --> 00:47:40,448
But as Phillips,
he could pay anything.
821
00:47:40,490 --> 00:47:43,061
l saw him myself
making notes with his taxes.
822
00:47:43,191 --> 00:47:45,360
He said his tax man would arrange it all.
823
00:47:45,493 --> 00:47:47,252
The man who handled all of his accounts.
824
00:47:47,294 --> 00:47:49,563
His tax man would take care of everything.
825
00:47:49,696 --> 00:47:51,656
All right! Yes!
l arranged it!
826
00:47:51,698 --> 00:47:54,936
And Gervaert's tax returns, Mr. Montrose.
You arranged those also?
827
00:47:55,068 --> 00:47:57,027
Of course l did.
l set up the whole thing.
828
00:47:57,069 --> 00:47:58,995
But please, Your Honor,
l couldn't incriminate myself.
829
00:47:59,037 --> 00:48:00,563
l couldn't admit to tax fraud.
830
00:48:00,605 --> 00:48:02,774
But you can admit to murder,
isn't that right?
831
00:48:03,773 --> 00:48:06,911
Unless, of course, you can explain
where the bulk of Gervaert's money went.
832
00:48:07,043 --> 00:48:11,283
Or is that the question he asked you
when he suddenly decided to go to Majorca?
833
00:48:11,412 --> 00:48:15,017
Now, what happened to all that money
he expected to live on, Mr. Montrose?
834
00:48:15,150 --> 00:48:17,921
l can't tell you
any more than l could tell him.
835
00:48:18,051 --> 00:48:21,523
l begged him for time.
l needed time, but he...
836
00:48:22,621 --> 00:48:25,258
Yes, you're... you're right.
837
00:48:25,389 --> 00:48:28,093
l killed the two-headed monster.
838
00:48:33,963 --> 00:48:37,201
All right, Perry. Who was really murdered,
Phillips or Gervaert?
839
00:48:37,331 --> 00:48:39,258
- Both of them.
- Both of them?
840
00:48:39,300 --> 00:48:42,438
That was the key to the whole business.
Outside of a harmless sculptor,
841
00:48:42,569 --> 00:48:45,540
Monty was the only man who knew all about
the dual existence.
842
00:48:45,671 --> 00:48:47,598
And the two separate incomes.
843
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:50,778
When Phillips suddenly wanted the savings
from those two separate incomes
844
00:48:50,909 --> 00:48:52,668
for his retirement to Majorca,
845
00:48:52,710 --> 00:48:55,414
well, Monty either had to produce
or else kill him.
846
00:48:55,546 --> 00:48:57,548
But he killed him as Otto Gervaert.
847
00:48:57,681 --> 00:49:00,051
He thought that a dead artist
from Port Harmony
848
00:49:00,183 --> 00:49:03,322
could never be connected to a man
supposedly on his way to Majorca.
849
00:49:03,385 --> 00:49:06,623
So he faked that phone call to lure Phillips
up here, and you know the rest.
850
00:49:06,754 --> 00:49:09,960
Hey, that explains why Monty was so shook up
when he found Gabe in the garage.
851
00:49:10,090 --> 00:49:12,727
l was wondering when
you were going to remember that.
852
00:49:12,859 --> 00:49:16,030
Sure. Monty acted exactly as though
he'd just seen a ghost.
853
00:49:18,163 --> 00:49:19,655
Hey, you know something?
854
00:49:19,697 --> 00:49:21,700
l might be coming back
to Port Harmony someday.
855
00:49:21,832 --> 00:49:24,903
Pete, old sport, haven't you
had trouble enough?
856
00:49:25,035 --> 00:49:27,035
Uh, just leave art to the experts.
857
00:49:27,103 --> 00:49:29,103
