Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:01:18,678 --> 00:01:21,146
Yes, sir. It's the biggest little
city in the world.
2
00:01:21,247 --> 00:01:23,147
And by gosh, it's the liveliest.
3
00:01:23,249 --> 00:01:27,242
I guess these divorc�es figure that
as long as they're changin' partners...
4
00:01:27,353 --> 00:01:29,253
they just might as well dance.
5
00:01:29,355 --> 00:01:31,289
- This your first trip here?
- Yes.
6
00:01:31,391 --> 00:01:33,291
I thought you were strange.
7
00:01:33,393 --> 00:01:36,294
Some of them come back so often,
I was thinkin'of printin'up commuter's tickets.
8
00:01:36,396 --> 00:01:39,297
Oh, well.
9
00:01:39,399 --> 00:01:42,027
I guess divorce ain't much more
than a matter of traveling.
10
00:01:42,135 --> 00:01:45,434
You check out of the state of matrimony
and land in the state of Nevada.
11
00:01:45,538 --> 00:01:48,234
I ain't got no complaints though.
12
00:01:48,341 --> 00:01:51,504
Owe my livin' to divorces,
same as most of the people in this town.
13
00:01:51,611 --> 00:01:54,671
And, by gosh, it's the one business
that even the depression don't hit.
14
00:01:54,781 --> 00:01:58,842
- Now, you take me for instance-
- How much farther to the hotel?
15
00:01:58,952 --> 00:02:01,443
Oh, you in a hurry, are you?
16
00:02:01,554 --> 00:02:06,389
Don't matter how soon I get you there,
lady, it still takes six weeks.
17
00:02:09,462 --> 00:02:12,329
- Good evening.
- Good evening. I'm Mrs. Curtis Whitman.
18
00:02:12,432 --> 00:02:15,663
- I have reservations.
- Oh, yes, Mrs. Whitman. We have your room ready.
19
00:02:15,768 --> 00:02:17,895
I'll notify our social directress
that you're here.
20
00:02:18,004 --> 00:02:20,370
Is that necessary?
I'm rather tired.
21
00:02:20,473 --> 00:02:24,739
Not necessary, but we try to make each guest
feel that he or she is more than a guest.
22
00:02:24,844 --> 00:02:29,338
Especially during these trying days.
If you'll just register, please.
23
00:02:30,650 --> 00:02:32,880
Miss Wells' office.
24
00:02:32,986 --> 00:02:35,580
- Try the bar.
- Try the doc's office, I'd say.
25
00:02:37,490 --> 00:02:39,481
Ring Dr. Ainsley.
26
00:02:39,592 --> 00:02:42,254
Dr. Ainsley, this is the front desk.
Does Miss Wells happen to be there?
27
00:02:42,362 --> 00:02:44,956
Certainly. It's for you.
28
00:02:46,199 --> 00:02:49,862
Hello? All right, I'll be right out.
29
00:02:51,070 --> 00:02:53,095
Another lost soul here for the cure.
30
00:02:53,206 --> 00:02:56,266
- Shall I give her the bright approach or the sympathetic?
- I prefer the bright.
31
00:02:56,376 --> 00:02:58,310
So I've noticed lately.
32
00:02:58,411 --> 00:03:01,437
I'll leave the sympathy for you.
You do it so well.
33
00:03:01,548 --> 00:03:05,177
106. You'll find there's never a dull moment
at the Hotel Sierra, Mrs. Whitman.
34
00:03:05,285 --> 00:03:07,583
We have sunrise trips
to points of interest...
35
00:03:07,687 --> 00:03:10,554
alimony breakfasts,
bridge luncheons or-
36
00:03:10,657 --> 00:03:12,852
Oh, here's Miss Wells.
Mrs. Whitman.
37
00:03:12,959 --> 00:03:16,087
How do you do? You've had a long trip,
haven't you? Let's have a drink.
38
00:03:16,196 --> 00:03:19,688
Thank you, but I don't think I care for one.
L- It's rather late.
39
00:03:19,799 --> 00:03:23,030
Oh, come on. You don't want to spend
your first evening in that room alone.
40
00:03:24,604 --> 00:03:26,902
- You're right. I don't.
- Fine.
41
00:03:27,006 --> 00:03:29,634
It's this way.
I'll show you your room later.
42
00:03:38,017 --> 00:03:40,144
Seventeen and the black.
43
00:03:40,253 --> 00:03:42,244
Well, that washes me up.
44
00:03:42,355 --> 00:03:45,324
- Oh, it's you.
- Oh, hello, Ainsley.
45
00:03:45,425 --> 00:03:48,155
You're a doctor. Save my life
and let me have a hundred, will you?
46
00:03:48,261 --> 00:03:51,560
Sorry. My office hours are from 2:00 to 4:00.
But I'll buy you a drink.
47
00:03:51,664 --> 00:03:53,791
That's awfully generous of you.
48
00:03:53,900 --> 00:03:56,733
Here. Cash these for me.
Maybe that'll help your credit.
49
00:03:56,836 --> 00:04:00,033
- Meet you at the bar.
- Place your bets.
50
00:04:02,175 --> 00:04:04,075
- The same, Mrs. Bentley?
- Yes.
51
00:04:04,177 --> 00:04:06,077
- Where's your shadow?
- Shadow?
52
00:04:06,179 --> 00:04:08,079
The official greeter.
53
00:04:08,181 --> 00:04:11,617
Greeting a decidedly attractive new arrival.
I wouldn't mind having her job myself.
54
00:04:13,119 --> 00:04:17,180
What's the matter?
55
00:04:17,290 --> 00:04:20,282
- I'm amused.
- That must be obvious to everyone in the place.
56
00:04:20,393 --> 00:04:23,794
- Do you know her?
- Know her? I'm going to marry her husband.
57
00:04:26,566 --> 00:04:29,933
Want to meet her?
Come on.
58
00:04:31,738 --> 00:04:33,638
Number 25 and the red.
59
00:04:33,740 --> 00:04:36,004
Well, well!
60
00:04:36,109 --> 00:04:38,543
Greetings, salutations,
and my heartfelt thanks.
61
00:04:38,645 --> 00:04:41,375
Curt wrote me he'd finally
talked you into a divorce...
62
00:04:41,481 --> 00:04:43,642
but I didn't expect you so soon.
63
00:04:43,750 --> 00:04:47,208
Dr. Ainsley finds you so attractive,
he asked for an introduction.
64
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,653
Since you're doing so much for me,
why shouldn't I do something for you?
65
00:04:50,757 --> 00:04:55,217
The doctor's a bachelor. You'll find him
most amusing while you're here.
66
00:04:55,328 --> 00:04:57,319
I know I have.
67
00:04:57,430 --> 00:04:59,990
- Mrs. Whitman, Dr. Ainsley.
- How do you do?
68
00:05:00,099 --> 00:05:01,999
I'm sorry, Mrs. Whitman...
69
00:05:02,101 --> 00:05:05,502
but this seems to be one of those situations
that we try to avoid here.
70
00:05:05,605 --> 00:05:08,472
Why, going to marry her husband.
So what?
71
00:05:08,574 --> 00:05:12,237
This is 1939. We're modern.
Let's talk things over.
72
00:05:12,345 --> 00:05:16,281
Besides, there's lots of things
I want to ask you about Curt.
73
00:05:16,382 --> 00:05:18,748
You know, how he likes
his eggs and toast.
74
00:05:18,851 --> 00:05:23,117
And is he sometimes cross in the morning
or always as charming as I've found him?
75
00:05:23,222 --> 00:05:26,885
- And all the little things you did that upset him.
- Let me out, please.
76
00:05:27,060 --> 00:05:29,290
Mrs. Whitman,
what are you doing here?
77
00:05:29,395 --> 00:05:31,761
- Thanks.
- Don't you know?
78
00:05:31,864 --> 00:05:35,061
- Why, no.
- I haven't had the heart to tell the poor boy.
79
00:05:35,168 --> 00:05:37,068
Tell me what?
80
00:05:37,170 --> 00:05:40,435
I've decided that Curt will make me
a better husband. He's more mature.
81
00:05:40,540 --> 00:05:42,030
Why, you cheap, lying-
82
00:05:42,141 --> 00:05:44,939
- Don't you call me names, you stupid fool!
- Oh!
83
00:05:45,044 --> 00:05:47,410
My goodness!
84
00:05:47,513 --> 00:05:51,381
Is it my fault you're sap enough
to trail me everywhere I go?
85
00:05:51,484 --> 00:05:53,384
Will you show me my room please?
86
00:05:53,486 --> 00:05:56,387
Are you both going up
and have a good cry?
87
00:05:56,489 --> 00:05:58,616
- Shut up.
- I won't shut up!
88
00:06:00,526 --> 00:06:02,790
Mrs. Bentley,
I have to ask you to leave my hotel.
89
00:06:02,895 --> 00:06:05,363
- What?
- You've done nothing but cause trouble since you came here.
90
00:06:05,465 --> 00:06:08,901
- Why, you can't-
- I shall expect you to be gone by morning.
91
00:06:09,001 --> 00:06:10,901
Behave yourself and sit down.
92
00:06:11,003 --> 00:06:13,870
- I want a drink.
- You've had too much to drink already.
93
00:06:13,973 --> 00:06:17,409
And you've talked too much.
You used to be smart.
94
00:06:17,510 --> 00:06:19,410
Keep on like this
and you'll hang yourself.
95
00:06:19,512 --> 00:06:22,208
What's the matter?
Afraid you'll hang with me?
96
00:06:31,124 --> 00:06:33,524
Where have you been? Mrs. Bentley's
been ringing for you all evening.
97
00:06:33,626 --> 00:06:35,787
What was she ringing for?
She knows it's my night off.
98
00:06:35,895 --> 00:06:38,455
- She's leaving the hotel. You've got to pack.
- Tonight?
99
00:06:38,564 --> 00:06:40,464
And if you want to know,
she was thrown out.
100
00:06:40,566 --> 00:06:43,831
Oh. Now she'll really be hard to work for.
What happened?
101
00:06:48,808 --> 00:06:50,708
Mrs. Bentley won't be
leaving until morning.
102
00:06:50,810 --> 00:06:53,574
All right, Mrs. Russell.
I'll have her bill ready.
103
00:07:04,157 --> 00:07:06,057
Mrs. Bentley.
104
00:07:15,034 --> 00:07:16,934
- What's the trouble? Is someone hurt?
- Mrs. Bentley.
105
00:07:17,036 --> 00:07:19,197
- What's happened here?
- In there-
106
00:07:19,305 --> 00:07:21,569
- How did it happen?
- I don't know. Mrs. Bentley.
107
00:07:21,674 --> 00:07:23,574
- Keep back everybody.
- Who is she?
108
00:07:23,676 --> 00:07:25,974
- What's going on?
- Did they send for a doctor?
109
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,013
- Is she dead?
- I think so.
110
00:07:36,122 --> 00:07:38,989
Get Dr. Ainsley.
111
00:07:40,993 --> 00:07:42,893
I'll telephone the police.
112
00:07:47,433 --> 00:07:51,130
Don't look at me like that.
I didn't do it.
113
00:07:52,805 --> 00:07:56,104
Don't! I didn't do it, I tell you!
114
00:07:56,209 --> 00:07:58,200
I didn't! I didn't!
115
00:08:18,030 --> 00:08:20,760
Lieutenant Chan,
Mr. Curtis Whitman is here to see you.
116
00:08:20,867 --> 00:08:23,301
Always pleased to see Mr. Whitman.
117
00:08:23,402 --> 00:08:25,734
This way, please.
118
00:08:28,808 --> 00:08:31,106
- Hello, Charlie.
- Please pardon experiment...
119
00:08:31,210 --> 00:08:35,943
but must reproduce elusive Easter rabbit
for number one grandchild.
120
00:08:38,317 --> 00:08:44,256
So glad-Words of welcome freeze
when friend appears troubled.
121
00:08:44,357 --> 00:08:46,257
You couldn't have
seen the papers, Charlie.
122
00:08:56,836 --> 00:09:02,001
Please forgive question,
but is concern for living or the dead?
123
00:09:03,676 --> 00:09:06,873
Mary is still my wife,
in spite of what we'd planned.
124
00:09:06,979 --> 00:09:09,447
But she didn't-
She couldn't have done this.
125
00:09:09,549 --> 00:09:14,384
Man yet to be born who can tell
what woman will or will not do.
126
00:09:14,487 --> 00:09:16,785
But you know her.
You've known her all her life.
127
00:09:16,889 --> 00:09:21,826
Yes. Very difficult
to believe ill of those we love.
128
00:09:21,928 --> 00:09:23,828
Oh, I knew you'd
feel that way, Charlie.
129
00:09:23,930 --> 00:09:25,830
That's why I want you to go with me.
130
00:09:25,932 --> 00:09:29,026
Why, they might build up
a case against her that we can't break.
131
00:09:29,135 --> 00:09:31,035
- Oh, she's in a jam and it's-
- Please.
132
00:09:31,137 --> 00:09:35,540
Ancient ancestor once say,
"Words cannot cook rice. "
133
00:09:35,641 --> 00:09:37,541
Then you will go?
Swell!
134
00:09:37,643 --> 00:09:39,804
I've reserved seats
on the Clipper for both of us.
135
00:09:39,912 --> 00:09:41,937
Can you be ready in an hour?
136
00:09:42,048 --> 00:09:46,348
Will go pack
and notify family in person...
137
00:09:46,452 --> 00:09:52,391
just so honorable wife will not
misunderstand contemplated visit to Reno.
138
00:09:54,694 --> 00:09:56,719
Oh!
139
00:10:17,717 --> 00:10:22,984
Phew! Very objectionable odor,
Mr. Chan. Ah, what is it?
140
00:10:23,089 --> 00:10:26,183
Just one of my experiments
in chemical criminology, sir.
141
00:10:26,292 --> 00:10:29,227
You see, I'm working on a new method
to bring out fingerprints on cloth.
142
00:10:29,328 --> 00:10:33,162
Bring them out?
My dear boy, that'll drive them out.
143
00:10:33,265 --> 00:10:36,325
I'm sorry, sir.
I don't think it turned out just right.
144
00:10:36,435 --> 00:10:38,335
Hey, a telegram
just came for you, Jimmy.
145
00:10:38,437 --> 00:10:40,837
Telegram?
Oh, gee, thanks.
146
00:10:42,074 --> 00:10:44,668
Whew!
Do you have to make that stuff?
147
00:10:45,945 --> 00:10:48,209
Hey, listen to this.
It's from Pop.
148
00:10:48,314 --> 00:10:51,647
"Honorable sprout, unexpectedly find self
on way to Reno, Nevada.
149
00:10:51,751 --> 00:10:53,742
Will visit you before return home. "
150
00:10:53,853 --> 00:10:56,219
Reno? Is your Dad
gonna get a divorce?
151
00:10:56,322 --> 00:10:59,382
Oh, gee, no.
I- I don't think so.
152
00:10:59,492 --> 00:11:02,484
Say. You know that murder we read about
and I said I knew the people?
153
00:11:02,595 --> 00:11:04,722
- Yeah.
- That's what Pop's on his way to Reno for.
154
00:11:04,830 --> 00:11:06,730
- No kiddin'!
- No foolin'.
155
00:11:06,832 --> 00:11:09,858
Say, Jack, the Easter holidays start tomorrow,
and you're not going anywhere.
156
00:11:09,969 --> 00:11:12,096
- Can I borrow your car?
- Well, the tank's empty.
157
00:11:12,204 --> 00:11:14,434
- I'll fill it up.
- How long are you gonna use it?
158
00:11:14,540 --> 00:11:17,065
Oh, I'll be back
before vacation's over.
159
00:11:17,176 --> 00:11:19,076
Hey, wait a minute!
That's a week.
160
00:11:19,178 --> 00:11:22,238
Oh, don't worry. With me helping Pop,
it won't take that long.
161
00:11:22,348 --> 00:11:24,612
We'll have this case
cleaned up in no time!
162
00:11:27,053 --> 00:11:30,284
Young man, you'll clean that up
before you clean up any mysteries.
163
00:11:30,389 --> 00:11:32,414
Yes, sir.
164
00:11:43,803 --> 00:11:45,794
- Oh!
- What's the trouble?
165
00:11:45,905 --> 00:11:47,873
My pal here got smacked
by a hit-and-run.
166
00:11:47,973 --> 00:11:49,634
- Oh!
- Is he hurt bad?
167
00:11:49,742 --> 00:11:53,678
Looks like it. I got to get him to a hospital.
168
00:11:53,779 --> 00:11:56,577
Say, we're only 20 miles from Reno.
I'll be glad to take you there.
169
00:11:56,682 --> 00:11:58,912
- Thanks, buddy.
- Hey, I'll help you.
170
00:11:59,018 --> 00:12:00,918
Oh!
171
00:12:23,843 --> 00:12:26,243
Hey!
You can't do this to me!
172
00:12:33,452 --> 00:12:36,512
Yes, sir. It's the biggest little
city in the world, Mr. Chan.
173
00:12:36,622 --> 00:12:39,182
I knew you was the famous detective
the minute I seen you.
174
00:12:39,291 --> 00:12:42,727
Congratulations upon penetrating
humble disguise.
175
00:12:43,863 --> 00:12:45,763
Aw, you're kiddin'.
176
00:12:45,865 --> 00:12:47,833
We got a pretty smart
police force of our own.
177
00:12:47,933 --> 00:12:52,529
Eager to make acquaintance of same.
Would kindly drive us there first?
178
00:12:52,638 --> 00:12:54,629
- To the police station?
- Please.
179
00:12:54,740 --> 00:12:58,574
All right, but if you're here to solve the
killing at the Hotel Sierra, you're too late.
180
00:12:58,677 --> 00:13:00,668
'Cause they've already arrested
the woman that done it.
181
00:13:00,780 --> 00:13:02,714
Has unfortunate lady confessed?
182
00:13:02,815 --> 00:13:05,283
Nope. Too smart for that.
183
00:13:05,384 --> 00:13:07,284
But they got her dead to rights.
184
00:13:07,386 --> 00:13:09,718
Motive and everything.
It seems her husband and this-
185
00:13:09,822 --> 00:13:11,722
Yes. We read all about it
in the papers.
186
00:13:11,824 --> 00:13:14,850
Yeah, but you didn't see her
the night she got here, like I did.
187
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,121
I knew there was
something wrong, even then.
188
00:13:17,229 --> 00:13:19,129
She didn't say nothin'.
189
00:13:19,231 --> 00:13:22,792
Just sat back there quiet-like
and stared out the window.
190
00:13:22,902 --> 00:13:26,429
I figured she was unhappy about a divorce...
191
00:13:26,539 --> 00:13:29,940
but of course, now I know she was just
sittin' back there cooking up the murder.
192
00:13:30,042 --> 00:13:32,442
Very interesting evidence.
193
00:13:32,545 --> 00:13:36,743
This man will prove
most valuable on witness stand.
194
00:13:36,849 --> 00:13:40,876
Witness stand? Who? Me?
I ain't getting mixed up in any murder trials.
195
00:13:40,986 --> 00:13:44,114
No, sir. Not me!
I ain't saying another word.
196
00:13:44,223 --> 00:13:46,691
Thank you so much.
197
00:13:48,294 --> 00:13:50,626
- What's your name?
- Mr. Jones.
198
00:13:50,729 --> 00:13:53,197
Yeah? And I suppose yours is Smith?
199
00:13:53,299 --> 00:13:58,100
Correction, please.
Lieutenant Chan of Honolulu Police.
200
00:13:58,204 --> 00:14:00,172
I thought so.
201
00:14:00,272 --> 00:14:04,709
Lieutenant Chan! Oh, yes.
The chief is expecting you. This way, sir.
202
00:14:08,380 --> 00:14:11,872
Well, Charlie! You old son of a gun.
I'm glad to see you again.
203
00:14:11,984 --> 00:14:14,509
Sincerely hope
status does not change.
204
00:14:14,620 --> 00:14:18,522
- Why should it?
- Quite possible I make large nuisance of self.
205
00:14:18,624 --> 00:14:21,218
Chief of Police King,
Mr. Curtis Whitman.
206
00:14:21,327 --> 00:14:23,295
- How do you do?
- How do you do? L-
207
00:14:23,395 --> 00:14:25,625
Whitman? Oh.
208
00:14:25,731 --> 00:14:28,427
Well, I'm sorry to meet you
under these circumstances, Mr. Whitman.
209
00:14:28,534 --> 00:14:32,197
I know you're anxious to talk about the case,
but I'm on my way to the show-up.
210
00:14:32,304 --> 00:14:34,795
- Like to have you come with me. Won't take long.
- Thank you.
211
00:14:34,907 --> 00:14:38,206
Disorderly conduct, drunk, heaving brick
through window, hitting two police.
212
00:14:38,310 --> 00:14:40,210
Take him away, Clancy.
213
00:14:40,312 --> 00:14:42,678
Wow, that helps me.
214
00:14:42,781 --> 00:14:44,681
Boys, we've got
a distinguished visitor today-
215
00:14:44,783 --> 00:14:47,251
an old pal of mine from Honolulu,
Charlie Chan.
216
00:14:47,353 --> 00:14:50,049
- So this is Charlie, eh?
- How do you do? It's a pleasure.
217
00:14:50,155 --> 00:14:52,646
- So pleased.
- Sit right down here, Charlie.
218
00:14:52,758 --> 00:14:56,819
And we'll show you the choicest collection
of con men and crackpots you've ever seen.
219
00:14:56,929 --> 00:15:01,662
- Uh, meet Sheriff Fletcher.
- Most honored to meet illustrious Sheriff.
220
00:15:01,767 --> 00:15:04,759
Oh, are you?
I've heard a lot about you too.
221
00:15:06,405 --> 00:15:09,568
And, uh, this is a friend
of Lieutenant Chan's, Mr. Whitman.
222
00:15:09,675 --> 00:15:13,133
- How are you?
- Whitman? That name sounds familiar.
223
00:15:13,245 --> 00:15:15,975
It ought to.
That's the case you're on.
224
00:15:16,081 --> 00:15:17,981
That's where I heard it.
225
00:15:18,083 --> 00:15:22,019
Well, Chan, I reckon you ain't here
with Whitman for nothing.
226
00:15:22,121 --> 00:15:24,021
Excellent observation.
227
00:15:24,123 --> 00:15:26,114
Then we might as well
understand each other right now.
228
00:15:26,225 --> 00:15:31,288
Me and King got this case well in hand, and
we don't need no outside help... or interference.
229
00:15:31,397 --> 00:15:36,130
Don't mind him, Charlie. He's known
as "Tombstone. " I guess you can figure out why.
230
00:15:36,235 --> 00:15:39,033
Tombstones often engraved
with words of wisdom.
231
00:15:41,273 --> 00:15:43,332
Yeah, and ain't all of them
covered with moss either.
232
00:15:45,311 --> 00:15:47,211
Now that you're here, young fella...
233
00:15:47,313 --> 00:15:49,281
there's a couple of questions
I'd like to ask you.
234
00:15:49,381 --> 00:15:52,043
- I know as little about this as you do.
- Yeah.
235
00:15:53,252 --> 00:15:55,482
All right,
let's get on with the show-up.
236
00:15:57,423 --> 00:15:59,948
Bring 'em in, Mac.
237
00:16:00,059 --> 00:16:02,687
All right, come on, you guys,
and make it snappy.
238
00:16:02,795 --> 00:16:04,695
- Get up on there.
- Quit pushing!
239
00:16:04,797 --> 00:16:07,027
Quiet!
Hurry it along.
240
00:16:08,500 --> 00:16:11,162
- You're gonna be sorry for this.
- Get up on there!
241
00:16:21,814 --> 00:16:23,782
Take off your hats.
242
00:16:26,218 --> 00:16:31,747
- Anything wrong, Charlie?
- Sudden shock to eyesight. Not permanent, I hope.
243
00:16:31,857 --> 00:16:33,757
Step forward.
244
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,394
You too!
245
00:16:37,496 --> 00:16:39,396
What's the charges on this kid?
246
00:16:39,498 --> 00:16:45,095
Violation of ordinances 106, 109, 214-A.
And suspected of being nuts.
247
00:16:45,204 --> 00:16:47,104
I am not nuts.
248
00:16:47,206 --> 00:16:51,074
I told 'em how some hitchhikers stole
all my clothes, and-and a car I borrowed.
249
00:16:51,176 --> 00:16:53,701
Violent too.
What's your name, bub?
250
00:16:53,812 --> 00:16:58,374
It's Jimmy Chan, sir. And my father's
Charlie Chan. Everybody's heard of him.
251
00:16:58,484 --> 00:17:04,013
Mm-hmm, and I suppose you'd recognize
your famous pa if you was to see him?
252
00:17:04,123 --> 00:17:06,591
- Of course I would.
- Well, here.
253
00:17:06,692 --> 00:17:10,788
Pop! Am I glad to see you!
254
00:17:10,896 --> 00:17:12,796
You mean, he's really your son?
255
00:17:12,898 --> 00:17:15,389
Must admit to dubious honor.
256
00:17:15,501 --> 00:17:17,560
Pop, tell these guys I'm not crazy.
257
00:17:17,669 --> 00:17:20,365
Parent must first
convince self of same.
258
00:17:20,472 --> 00:17:23,305
Possible to release
offspring in my custody?
259
00:17:23,409 --> 00:17:25,309
Sure, now that he's been identified.
260
00:17:25,411 --> 00:17:29,074
Thank you. Now, will kindly
explain presence here?
261
00:17:29,181 --> 00:17:32,116
I just came up during the holidays
to help you catch the murderer.
262
00:17:32,217 --> 00:17:35,618
Pop appreciates valuable help
of number two son...
263
00:17:35,721 --> 00:17:39,418
but first use talent
to catch new pair of pants.
264
00:17:39,525 --> 00:17:42,892
Thanks. Don't do anything
on this case until I get back.
265
00:17:45,531 --> 00:17:47,431
Is he gonna be on the case too?
266
00:17:47,533 --> 00:17:50,764
- Self-appointed.
- He ain't the only one.
267
00:17:50,869 --> 00:17:52,769
What's your name?
268
00:17:52,871 --> 00:17:57,103
Who me? I'm Charlie Chan's
number three son.
269
00:17:57,209 --> 00:17:59,268
Me go home now?
270
00:18:05,751 --> 00:18:08,777
Charlie. Oh, Charlie,
I didn't do it!
271
00:18:08,887 --> 00:18:10,821
You know I didn't do it!
272
00:18:10,923 --> 00:18:13,323
Have brought somebody.
273
00:18:13,425 --> 00:18:15,325
Curt.
274
00:18:16,862 --> 00:18:18,762
Thank you for coming, Curt.
275
00:18:18,864 --> 00:18:20,832
Are you all right?
I mean-
276
00:18:20,933 --> 00:18:23,993
Don't worry about anything.
Charlie's here to help you.
277
00:18:24,103 --> 00:18:26,571
Sit down, please.
278
00:18:30,309 --> 00:18:35,042
Now, want you to tell me exactly
what occurred on night of murder.
279
00:18:37,516 --> 00:18:39,541
Well, I was in bed, but not asleep.
280
00:18:39,651 --> 00:18:42,449
- What time, please?
- About 12:30.
281
00:18:42,554 --> 00:18:46,786
While I was lying there,
I- I heard a scream...
282
00:18:46,892 --> 00:18:49,258
not loud, but close to my room...
283
00:18:50,295 --> 00:18:52,661
and it was cut off sharply.
284
00:18:52,764 --> 00:18:55,198
It frightened me,
and I got up to see what was wrong.
285
00:18:55,300 --> 00:18:58,633
How long after scream
before you reach hallway?
286
00:18:58,737 --> 00:19:01,831
Oh, I don't know.
A minute, maybe longer.
287
00:19:01,940 --> 00:19:04,306
You saw no one in corridor?
288
00:19:04,409 --> 00:19:08,937
No. But the door opposite mine
was open a little, and the light was on.
289
00:19:10,115 --> 00:19:13,812
I looked in and saw her
lying on the floor.
290
00:19:13,919 --> 00:19:16,479
Even when I reached her,
I didn't recognize her at first.
291
00:19:16,588 --> 00:19:21,150
She was wearing some sort of beauty mask
that completely covered her face.
292
00:19:21,260 --> 00:19:23,160
Police have pictures?
293
00:19:23,262 --> 00:19:26,163
Yes. Here.
You can have this set.
294
00:19:26,265 --> 00:19:28,358
Thank you so much.
Continue, please.
295
00:19:30,002 --> 00:19:33,961
I started to touch her,
and- and I saw the blood...
296
00:19:35,707 --> 00:19:38,904
and then I recognized her
by her hair.
297
00:19:39,011 --> 00:19:42,105
Oh, it all happened so fast, Charlie,
and it was such a shock to me.
298
00:19:42,214 --> 00:19:44,580
I don't know what I did.
299
00:19:44,683 --> 00:19:46,878
I just stood and
looked at her, I guess.
300
00:19:48,453 --> 00:19:50,353
And then suddenly
the Chinese maid was screaming...
301
00:19:50,455 --> 00:19:54,915
and people ran into the room
and... they accused me.
302
00:19:56,795 --> 00:19:59,457
Police have reason to
doubt truth of story?
303
00:19:59,565 --> 00:20:03,126
We ain't got no reason to believe it.
She had plenty of motive too.
304
00:20:03,235 --> 00:20:05,795
Why, only an hour or two
before Mrs. Bentley was stabbed...
305
00:20:05,904 --> 00:20:10,534
this woman and her had a fight in the
hotel bar, over her stealing her husband.
306
00:20:10,642 --> 00:20:14,271
Oh, but I wasn't
the only one she quarreled with.
307
00:20:14,379 --> 00:20:16,870
You were the only one found
standing over the body.
308
00:20:16,982 --> 00:20:19,815
May humbly request one more favor?
309
00:20:19,918 --> 00:20:23,547
Please arrange for Mrs. Whitman
to return to hotel.
310
00:20:23,655 --> 00:20:26,215
What? Turn loose
the only suspect we got?
311
00:20:26,325 --> 00:20:29,294
Can promise she will not
attempt to leave Reno.
312
00:20:29,394 --> 00:20:31,362
Chief, this Oriental's loco.
313
00:20:31,463 --> 00:20:34,432
If you think you're gonna take her
out of here like you did your son...
314
00:20:34,533 --> 00:20:37,297
- you got another think coming.
- Please.
315
00:20:37,402 --> 00:20:39,802
Victim was stabbed, you say?
316
00:20:39,905 --> 00:20:42,032
Victim?
317
00:20:42,140 --> 00:20:44,802
Oh, she was stabbed all right,
with some kind of a knife.
318
00:20:44,910 --> 00:20:47,378
Was weapon found on Mrs. Whitman?
319
00:20:47,479 --> 00:20:51,074
Well, no,
but she might've got rid of it.
320
00:20:51,183 --> 00:20:53,845
Exactly what kind of knife, please?
321
00:20:53,952 --> 00:20:57,752
How should I know?
We ain't found it yet.
322
00:20:57,856 --> 00:21:01,019
That's what has us stumped, Charlie.
The knife is still missing.
323
00:21:01,126 --> 00:21:04,687
Then police believe Mrs. Whitman
foolish enough to kill...
324
00:21:04,796 --> 00:21:07,230
leave room to hide death weapon...
325
00:21:07,332 --> 00:21:10,529
then return to be discovered
beside body of victim?
326
00:21:10,636 --> 00:21:15,596
Well, my theory is, she came back
for something- something she dropped.
327
00:21:15,707 --> 00:21:17,971
Such as?
328
00:21:18,076 --> 00:21:20,943
You can ask
the doggonedest questions!
329
00:21:21,046 --> 00:21:24,504
Chief, are you gonna be taken in
by a lot of polite bowing and scraping?
330
00:21:24,616 --> 00:21:27,312
You know we haven't got enough
evidence for an indictment, Tombstone.
331
00:21:27,419 --> 00:21:29,853
Yeah, but who's going to be
responsible for her?
332
00:21:29,955 --> 00:21:32,981
Suggest husband
number one man for job.
333
00:21:33,091 --> 00:21:37,619
Her husband? First thing I know, you'll be
asking me to swear Whitman in as a deputy.
334
00:21:37,729 --> 00:21:42,393
Can think of no one with better reason
for wishing to capture murderer.
335
00:21:42,501 --> 00:21:45,834
- I'll see what the D.A. Says about releasing her, Charlie.
- Thank you so much.
336
00:21:47,339 --> 00:21:49,807
Doggonedest detective I ever saw.
337
00:21:49,908 --> 00:21:52,741
He's taking 'em out of here
faster than we can put 'em in.
338
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:30,780
Oh, excuse me, Sheriff.
339
00:22:30,882 --> 00:22:32,782
What you hiding for?
Are you shadowing someone?
340
00:22:32,884 --> 00:22:35,614
I ain't hiding. I got orders
to stick around and help your pa...
341
00:22:35,721 --> 00:22:37,621
so I'm giving him plenty of rope.
342
00:22:37,723 --> 00:22:40,055
- Where is he now?
- In there talking to the owner of the hotel.
343
00:22:40,158 --> 00:22:42,058
Oh.
344
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,186
So right after the quarrel in the bar,
I took Mrs. Whitman up to her room.
345
00:22:45,297 --> 00:22:47,731
I stayed with her for some time
because she was pretty upset.
346
00:22:47,833 --> 00:22:50,734
And I don't blame her. She took an awful
beating from that Bentley woman.
347
00:22:50,836 --> 00:22:54,431
- Mrs. Bentley very unpopular.
- That's putting it mildly.
348
00:22:54,539 --> 00:22:58,635
Believe unlamented lady here
to divorce self from present husband.
349
00:22:58,744 --> 00:23:01,941
Yes. A George Bentley
from San Francisco.
350
00:23:02,047 --> 00:23:04,038
So far, we haven't
been able to locate him.
351
00:23:04,149 --> 00:23:08,552
- No one claim body?
- Her family. The police shipped it Back East yesterday.
352
00:23:08,653 --> 00:23:10,848
Murder room still intact?
353
00:23:10,956 --> 00:23:12,890
Yes. And locked, of course.
354
00:23:12,991 --> 00:23:15,789
- Would like to visit same now.
- Certainly.
355
00:23:20,265 --> 00:23:22,165
Mind if I snoop along?
356
00:23:22,267 --> 00:23:25,532
Charming company turn
lowly sandwich into rich banquet.
357
00:23:30,475 --> 00:23:32,500
Hiya, Pop.
How do you like my new hat?
358
00:23:32,611 --> 00:23:35,102
Off head at present.
359
00:23:35,213 --> 00:23:37,113
Oh, sure.
Sorry.
360
00:23:37,215 --> 00:23:40,776
Excuse, please. This is number two son,
masquerading as Lone Ranger.
361
00:23:40,886 --> 00:23:42,786
- Hello.
- How do you do?
362
00:23:42,888 --> 00:23:45,288
Say. Are you getting ready
to visit the scene of the crime?
363
00:23:45,390 --> 00:23:48,325
Yes. Would honorable Sheriff
wish to come?
364
00:23:48,427 --> 00:23:51,828
Heck, I been through that room so much
I could search it with my eyes shut.
365
00:23:51,930 --> 00:23:55,696
Thank you. Will search then
this time with eyes open.
366
00:24:20,325 --> 00:24:24,056
Oh, Mrs. Russell!
Somebody's took the passkey off my ring.
367
00:24:24,162 --> 00:24:27,222
- The passkey?
- Yes, ma'am. I left it hanging outside while I did 108...
368
00:24:27,332 --> 00:24:29,300
and when I come out, it was gone.
369
00:24:29,401 --> 00:24:31,528
Gee, maybe the murderer took it.
370
00:24:31,636 --> 00:24:34,230
- The murderer! Oh, oh!
- Quiet!
371
00:24:34,339 --> 00:24:36,773
Call the desk
and see if it's been turned in there.
372
00:24:36,875 --> 00:24:39,742
I did, and it ain't.
Oh, ma'am, do you think-
373
00:24:39,845 --> 00:24:42,780
I think you'll find it.
And please don't mention it to anyone.
374
00:24:53,258 --> 00:24:55,818
Why, Dr. Ainsley!
What are you doing here?
375
00:24:55,927 --> 00:24:58,327
I just remembered something
that happened the night of the murder.
376
00:24:58,430 --> 00:25:02,230
- Oh, uh, this is Charlie Chan, the detective.
- How do you do?
377
00:25:02,334 --> 00:25:06,737
Most gratifying to meet hostess
who remembers job at all times.
378
00:25:06,838 --> 00:25:09,671
I get it. You think I was trying to
warn him for some reason.
379
00:25:09,774 --> 00:25:13,266
Is there any reason
to warn honorable doctor?
380
00:25:13,378 --> 00:25:15,710
Say, you don't
waste any time, do you?
381
00:25:15,814 --> 00:25:19,443
Well, I'm not any good at hiding it,
so I may as well confess.
382
00:25:19,551 --> 00:25:21,451
I'm rather fond of
the honorable doctor.
383
00:25:21,553 --> 00:25:24,681
But I must admit this doesn't look so hot.
What were you doing here?
384
00:25:24,789 --> 00:25:27,519
Looking for the money Mrs. Bentley won
the night she was murdered.
385
00:25:27,626 --> 00:25:30,459
Don't you think you'd better leave
the searching to the police?
386
00:25:30,562 --> 00:25:32,462
They did search this room...
387
00:25:32,564 --> 00:25:35,032
but it occurred to me that
no mention was made of the money.
388
00:25:35,133 --> 00:25:38,864
You see, Mr. Chan, the jealousy angle
was so strong against Mrs. Whitman...
389
00:25:38,970 --> 00:25:41,131
that no one thought of
a simple robbery motive.
390
00:25:41,239 --> 00:25:45,608
Most happy to consider same.
Was it large sum lady won?
391
00:25:45,710 --> 00:25:48,611
Large enough for her to be paid off
in a stack of hundred dollar bills.
392
00:25:48,713 --> 00:25:50,613
Wally Burke cashed in her chips.
393
00:25:50,715 --> 00:25:53,115
And handed her the money
during the quarrel. I remember.
394
00:25:53,218 --> 00:25:55,118
Hey! Cut it out! That hurts!
395
00:25:55,220 --> 00:25:57,882
Take your hands off me, you big hick!
I haven't done anything!
396
00:25:57,989 --> 00:25:59,889
Come peaceable now,
or I'll get rough.
397
00:25:59,991 --> 00:26:02,152
What's all this about, Sheriff?
398
00:26:02,260 --> 00:26:04,160
Burke knows
he ain't supposed to leave town.
399
00:26:04,262 --> 00:26:06,753
Yet I just caught him trying
to pay his bill and check out.
400
00:26:06,865 --> 00:26:09,800
- Pay his bill? With what?
- Money. What do you think?
401
00:26:09,901 --> 00:26:13,337
- That's funny. I thought he was broke.
- What gave you that idea?
402
00:26:13,438 --> 00:26:15,338
You tried to borrow some
from me the other night.
403
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,772
I wired home for it.
Any business of yours?
404
00:26:17,876 --> 00:26:21,004
No. But it might
be of interest to Mr. Chan.
405
00:26:22,948 --> 00:26:27,681
- Well, what is all this?
- Was under impression Mrs. Bentley was friend of yours.
406
00:26:27,786 --> 00:26:29,481
She was.
407
00:26:29,588 --> 00:26:33,991
Surprised then, you unwilling
to assist police by remaining in hotel.
408
00:26:34,092 --> 00:26:37,960
Since you put it that way,
of course I'll stay.
409
00:26:38,063 --> 00:26:40,361
You'll stay no matter
which way we put it.
410
00:26:43,101 --> 00:26:46,468
Did Sheriff notice
if Mr. Burke have hundred dollar bills?
411
00:26:46,571 --> 00:26:49,005
He was downright filthy with 'em.
412
00:26:49,107 --> 00:26:51,007
- I better lock him up.
- No.
413
00:26:51,109 --> 00:26:53,202
Most inadvisable.
414
00:26:53,311 --> 00:26:58,112
If want wild bird to sing
do not put him in cage.
415
00:26:58,216 --> 00:27:02,653
Maybe he won't sing,
but leastwise he won't take off either.
416
00:27:05,624 --> 00:27:09,958
Check later with telegraph company
concerning story of Mr. Burke about cash.
417
00:27:10,061 --> 00:27:11,961
Okay, Pop. I'll handle that.
418
00:27:12,063 --> 00:27:13,963
If I can be of
any further help, I'Il-
419
00:27:14,065 --> 00:27:16,659
I'll trouble you for that
passkey you took from the maid.
420
00:27:16,768 --> 00:27:19,066
The maid?
I didn't take any key from her.
421
00:27:19,170 --> 00:27:23,197
This is the one I used. The night clerk
gave it to me last week on an emergency case.
422
00:27:23,308 --> 00:27:25,674
I forgot to return it.
It's been in my desk ever since.
423
00:27:28,980 --> 00:27:32,609
With gracious permission of hostess,
will resume conversation later.
424
00:27:32,717 --> 00:27:35,311
All right,
and I'll be looking forward to it...
425
00:27:35,420 --> 00:27:39,481
because never have I
so politely been told to scram.
426
00:27:39,591 --> 00:27:43,254
And now, please, would like to occupy
this room during stay in hotel.
427
00:27:43,361 --> 00:27:45,261
- This room?
- Yes.
428
00:27:45,363 --> 00:27:48,992
Gosh. It hasn't been three days
since Mrs. Bentley was killed in here.
429
00:27:49,100 --> 00:27:54,766
Yet room continues to attract visitors,
and passkey still missing.
430
00:27:56,741 --> 00:27:59,938
You mean we're gonna sleep in here
and wait for somebody to sneak in on us?
431
00:28:00,045 --> 00:28:03,173
Perhaps sleep more attractive
in university classroom?
432
00:28:03,281 --> 00:28:06,944
Oh, no. I don't mind.
Those things don't affect me!
433
00:28:07,052 --> 00:28:09,748
I was just thinking about you,
that's all. It might be dangerous.
434
00:28:09,854 --> 00:28:11,754
I agree with him, Mr. Chan.
435
00:28:11,856 --> 00:28:16,850
When searching for needle in haystack,
haystack only sensible location.
436
00:28:16,961 --> 00:28:20,453
Very well. I'll have her things packed
and moved out when you're ready.
437
00:28:20,565 --> 00:28:24,023
One moment. Have kept
Mrs. Whitman's room?
438
00:28:24,135 --> 00:28:27,627
- Yes. Why?
- Expect her here this afternoon.
439
00:28:28,773 --> 00:28:31,901
- She's being released?
- In custody of husband.
440
00:28:32,010 --> 00:28:36,913
- Oh, I'm so glad.
- Perhaps somebody else not so glad.
441
00:28:37,015 --> 00:28:39,745
Request no mention
be made of release as yet.
442
00:28:39,851 --> 00:28:42,411
- I understand.
- Thank you so much.
443
00:28:54,833 --> 00:28:57,631
These police pictures sure are spooky.
444
00:28:57,736 --> 00:29:00,762
- Death usually grim.
- What was she wearing the mask for?
445
00:29:02,307 --> 00:29:06,641
Lady using new psychology on wrinkles.
Scares them away.
446
00:29:06,745 --> 00:29:08,645
Oh.
447
00:29:14,486 --> 00:29:16,852
Gee, this Mrs. Bentley
sure liked herself.
448
00:29:16,955 --> 00:29:20,220
She kept a publicity scrapbook,
just like a movie actress.
449
00:29:22,861 --> 00:29:26,922
- Where you find scrapbook?
- Hmm? Right here on the trunk.
450
00:29:27,031 --> 00:29:31,730
Police pictures indicate scrapbook
on vanity when body discovered.
451
00:29:31,836 --> 00:29:34,066
Then somebody's moved it
since the murder.
452
00:29:41,146 --> 00:29:44,138
Say, do you suppose this Burke fellow
might've killed her for the money?
453
00:29:44,249 --> 00:29:48,618
Possible. Look for scissors
among lady's effects.
454
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:50,847
Okay. Uh, any particular kind?
455
00:29:52,290 --> 00:29:56,886
Straight edge indicate
use of long desk shears.
456
00:29:56,995 --> 00:29:59,259
You mean it might have been used
as a death weapon?
457
00:29:59,364 --> 00:30:03,323
If closed, would leave wound
as described by police surgeon.
458
00:30:03,434 --> 00:30:06,028
Gee, then I'd better look hard.
459
00:30:06,137 --> 00:30:09,231
And if I don't find any,
it'll look like we're right.
460
00:30:14,045 --> 00:30:16,104
I don't see any in here.
461
00:30:18,183 --> 00:30:20,083
Find something important, Pop?
462
00:30:20,185 --> 00:30:22,153
What I do not find
is more important.
463
00:30:22,253 --> 00:30:27,850
- What do you mean?
- Pages covering 1935 and '36 have been removed.
464
00:30:27,959 --> 00:30:30,018
Why, do you suppose?
465
00:30:30,128 --> 00:30:35,156
Someone strangely anxious to conceal
lady's activities during those years.
466
00:30:36,501 --> 00:30:39,436
- Continue search for scissors.
- Okay.
467
00:30:49,047 --> 00:30:50,947
What's the matter?
What's happened?
468
00:30:51,049 --> 00:30:54,382
Get a load of that
Honolulu bloodhound.
469
00:30:55,486 --> 00:30:57,750
Sounds good.
470
00:30:57,856 --> 00:31:00,154
- Well, what about him?
- What about him?
471
00:31:00,258 --> 00:31:03,125
Looks like his nose just
led him straight to the bar.
472
00:31:03,228 --> 00:31:05,992
Did you get me over here just to show me that?
473
00:31:06,097 --> 00:31:10,534
- Ain't it enough?
- Listen, Tombstone. I knew Charlie was throwing this party.
474
00:31:10,635 --> 00:31:12,660
He's doing it for a special reason...
475
00:31:12,770 --> 00:31:14,670
and I want you to stay out of it.
476
00:31:14,772 --> 00:31:17,707
I'll stay out of it, but while he's
wasting his time in there drinking...
477
00:31:17,809 --> 00:31:20,642
where's that murderer
he was so sure of catching?
478
00:31:20,745 --> 00:31:24,772
- Well, he may be drinking with him.
- Then why don't he arrest him?
479
00:31:24,883 --> 00:31:29,582
Relax, will you? And for heaven's sake,
don't call me again unless it's important.
480
00:31:32,257 --> 00:31:34,157
- There.
- Thank you.
481
00:31:34,259 --> 00:31:36,784
What's in it, Mr. Chan?
Something to loosen the tongue?
482
00:31:36,895 --> 00:31:38,795
Humble Hawaiian drink.
Very mild.
483
00:31:38,897 --> 00:31:42,924
- I'll stick to bourbon.
- Do we toast with humble drink, or just dive into it?
484
00:31:43,034 --> 00:31:48,631
Suggest toast to very gracious woman
and unhappy husband...
485
00:31:48,740 --> 00:31:51,402
now entering.
486
00:32:03,421 --> 00:32:05,889
You don't have to hold your chin
quite that high, Mary.
487
00:32:05,990 --> 00:32:09,187
But they stared so.
How long do we have to stay?
488
00:32:09,294 --> 00:32:13,060
Well, Charlie said for just one drink.
We can go someplace else for dinner.
489
00:32:13,164 --> 00:32:15,997
I just want to get
back up to my room.
490
00:32:16,100 --> 00:32:18,125
All right, Mary.
Anything you say.
491
00:32:18,236 --> 00:32:21,637
So, tell me, Mr. Chan, have they dropped
the case against Mrs. Whitman entirely?
492
00:32:21,739 --> 00:32:24,674
Police realize evidence very weak.
493
00:32:24,776 --> 00:32:27,677
Personally, I don't think much of the motive.
494
00:32:27,779 --> 00:32:30,942
You do not find
Mr. Whitman attractive?
495
00:32:31,049 --> 00:32:34,541
I couldn't be attracted to any man who was
stupid enough to fall forJeanne Bentley.
496
00:32:34,652 --> 00:32:36,620
Well, thanks.
497
00:32:36,721 --> 00:32:41,715
Perhaps acquaintance with murdered lady
too brief to learn real character.
498
00:32:41,826 --> 00:32:44,522
It took me a couple of months,
but I finally found her out.
499
00:32:44,629 --> 00:32:47,792
It didn't take me long. The minute
she walked in the hotel, I had her labeled.
500
00:32:47,899 --> 00:32:51,528
- That was first meeting with Mrs. Bentley?
- Yes.
501
00:32:51,636 --> 00:32:53,536
And you, Dr. Ainsley?
502
00:32:53,638 --> 00:32:56,198
I never knew her before she came here.
Why should you ask me?
503
00:32:56,307 --> 00:32:59,708
Was only asking if you required
to have glass refilled.
504
00:32:59,811 --> 00:33:02,302
Oh, uh, yes.
Yes. Thanks.
505
00:33:02,413 --> 00:33:04,313
That was slick, Mr. Chan...
506
00:33:04,415 --> 00:33:08,351
but if you're trying to find someone who knew
her before she came here, why don't you ask?
507
00:33:08,453 --> 00:33:11,752
Have asked all except Mrs. Russell.
508
00:33:11,856 --> 00:33:15,553
- I didn't know her.
- Mr. Burke, it looks like you're still leading the pack.
509
00:33:15,660 --> 00:33:17,525
- What are you trying to do?
- Oh, don't be stuffy.
510
00:33:17,628 --> 00:33:19,528
If you did do it, I'm all for you.
511
00:33:19,630 --> 00:33:21,495
That woman had at least
one murder coming to her.
512
00:33:21,599 --> 00:33:23,658
Would you have killed Mrs. Bentley?
513
00:33:23,768 --> 00:33:27,260
Probably. If she'd annoyed me enough
and the knife had been handy.
514
00:33:27,372 --> 00:33:30,933
Lady killed with scissors,
not knife.
515
00:33:31,042 --> 00:33:34,842
- Scissors?
- What kind of scissors?
516
00:33:34,946 --> 00:33:40,407
Very sharp. Pointed on end and long
enough to inflict very deep wound.
517
00:33:40,518 --> 00:33:43,112
Implying surgical scissors?
518
00:33:43,221 --> 00:33:47,123
Found doctor's office
well-equipped with same.
519
00:33:47,225 --> 00:33:49,955
- I didn't know you had called.
- So sorry, doctor not in.
520
00:33:50,061 --> 00:33:51,961
Are you accusing me?
521
00:33:52,063 --> 00:33:54,224
What possible motive
could he have had?
522
00:33:54,332 --> 00:33:57,859
None. But Mr. Burke seems
to have had plenty.
523
00:33:57,969 --> 00:33:59,869
- Mr. Burke.
- Just a minute.
524
00:33:59,971 --> 00:34:03,304
This is the second time you've tried to
pin this thing on me. What's on your mind?
525
00:34:03,408 --> 00:34:05,433
Well, you never explained
where you got the money.
526
00:34:08,679 --> 00:34:11,807
Come on. I don't want you to
get mixed up in this.
527
00:34:14,385 --> 00:34:16,979
- You stay out there!
- Curt!
528
00:34:25,830 --> 00:34:28,230
Hello. Give me
the police station, quick!
529
00:34:29,367 --> 00:34:31,267
Hello. Give me the chief. Hurry!
530
00:34:34,906 --> 00:34:37,636
Yes. King speaking.
What?
531
00:34:37,742 --> 00:34:39,767
I said you knew
he was throwing a party...
532
00:34:39,877 --> 00:34:42,175
but did you know
he was staging a riot?
533
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,305
Well, stop it, you fool,
before somebody gets hurt.
534
00:34:44,415 --> 00:34:47,543
Okay. But you told me
to keep out of it.
535
00:34:53,257 --> 00:34:56,749
- Think he's hurt badly?
- I hope not.
536
00:34:56,861 --> 00:34:58,829
- Who hit me?
- Are you hurt, Mr. Fletcher?
537
00:34:58,930 --> 00:35:01,330
You're darn tootin' I'm hurt.
538
00:35:03,801 --> 00:35:06,531
I got a good mind
to arrest the whole bunch of you.
539
00:35:06,637 --> 00:35:08,730
I'll take him to his room.
540
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,274
All he needs is a sedative.
He'll sleep it off.
541
00:35:12,810 --> 00:35:16,007
Perhaps you had better
assist doctor.
542
00:35:18,349 --> 00:35:20,249
If honorable sheriff will permit...
543
00:35:20,351 --> 00:35:22,285
think head need examination.
544
00:35:22,386 --> 00:35:24,320
It's not my head
that needs examining.
545
00:35:24,422 --> 00:35:27,619
It's the people's that let you
come in here and stir up a lot of trouble.
546
00:35:27,725 --> 00:35:31,752
Regret accident, but sometimes
must strike innocent to trap guilty.
547
00:35:31,863 --> 00:35:35,993
Yeah? Well, if you think you're gonna use
my skull for bait, you're crazy.
548
00:35:36,100 --> 00:35:38,034
Thank you so much.
549
00:35:38,136 --> 00:35:40,331
- Mr. Chan?
- Yes?
550
00:35:40,438 --> 00:35:42,565
- Telephone.
- Oh.
551
00:35:42,673 --> 00:35:45,073
- Yes?
- Hello? Pop?
552
00:35:45,176 --> 00:35:47,201
I just got the report
from the telegraph office.
553
00:35:47,311 --> 00:35:50,075
Wally Burke's family
cabled him $1,500 yesterday.
554
00:35:50,181 --> 00:35:53,014
- Oh.
- Can I join the party now?
555
00:35:53,117 --> 00:35:55,551
Party all finished.
556
00:36:00,291 --> 00:36:02,521
Hey, Pop, somebody's
trying to get in here.
557
00:36:02,627 --> 00:36:04,720
What?
558
00:36:26,317 --> 00:36:30,117
Oh, gee. I-I'm awfully sorry.
559
00:36:30,221 --> 00:36:34,920
- Hello, Pop.
- Pop humbly suggest you assist young lady to rise.
560
00:36:35,026 --> 00:36:38,621
Oh, sure. Gee, I hope
I didn't hurt you.
561
00:36:38,729 --> 00:36:42,221
My dignity is slightly bruised,
but no bones broken.
562
00:36:42,333 --> 00:36:45,427
Excuse please.
Can explain presence in this room?
563
00:36:45,536 --> 00:36:48,232
Yes, honorable sir.
564
00:36:48,339 --> 00:36:50,364
Are you Charlie Chan?
565
00:36:58,149 --> 00:37:00,208
Praise in any language very sweet...
566
00:37:00,318 --> 00:37:03,287
but young lady have not yet
explained presence here.
567
00:37:03,387 --> 00:37:05,719
My name is Choy Wong, honorable sir.
568
00:37:05,823 --> 00:37:08,724
Gee, that's a pretty name.
Uh, isn't it, Pop?
569
00:37:08,826 --> 00:37:13,320
- My name's Jimmy.
- Jimmy Chan is also a nice-sounding name.
570
00:37:13,431 --> 00:37:16,559
If Choy Wong will be so kind...
571
00:37:16,667 --> 00:37:19,966
have not yet explained
presence in this room.
572
00:37:20,071 --> 00:37:23,302
I was told that I'm now free
to pack Mrs. Bentley's clothes.
573
00:37:23,407 --> 00:37:26,205
- Obtain key from clerk?
- Why, yes, sir.
574
00:37:26,310 --> 00:37:29,143
- Gosh, Pop, you don't think that she-
- Shh.
575
00:37:29,247 --> 00:37:32,375
Was personal maid to deceased lady?
576
00:37:32,483 --> 00:37:35,782
- Work for her in 1935 or '6?
- Why, no.
577
00:37:35,886 --> 00:37:39,515
She engaged me in San Francisco
a month ago and brought me here.
578
00:37:39,624 --> 00:37:42,252
Ever glance through
lady's scrapbook?
579
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:44,555
I looked at some of the pictures.
580
00:37:44,662 --> 00:37:48,189
Were pages torn out
when Choy Wong look at book?
581
00:37:48,299 --> 00:37:51,097
- No, I'm sure they weren't.
- Is it all right for her to pack now?
582
00:37:51,202 --> 00:37:53,102
- Yes.
- I'd better help you.
583
00:37:53,204 --> 00:37:55,672
We might find something important.
584
00:38:05,216 --> 00:38:07,207
You'd better clear out
the closet first.
585
00:38:07,318 --> 00:38:09,786
All right.
586
00:38:09,887 --> 00:38:12,219
Oh, Charlie.
We've got something to show you.
587
00:38:12,323 --> 00:38:14,223
I found this in Wally Burke's room.
588
00:38:14,325 --> 00:38:16,225
As you see,
the scissors are missing.
589
00:38:16,327 --> 00:38:18,227
Gee, they'd be just the size
we're looking for.
590
00:38:18,329 --> 00:38:20,559
And it's got his initials on it too.
591
00:38:20,665 --> 00:38:23,133
Mr. Burke aware of discovery?
592
00:38:23,234 --> 00:38:25,828
No, the doctor spotted it
while I was trying to quiet Burke.
593
00:38:25,936 --> 00:38:29,394
- Administer sedative?
- Yes. He'll be asleep for some time.
594
00:38:29,507 --> 00:38:31,907
Will question young man
when he wakes up.
595
00:38:32,009 --> 00:38:35,740
Thank you so much.
Assistance greatly appreciated.
596
00:38:39,083 --> 00:38:41,051
Burke's in the clear
about that money he got...
597
00:38:41,152 --> 00:38:43,882
but he'll have a tough time
explaining this.
598
00:38:48,326 --> 00:38:51,386
Can recall last time
Mrs. Bentley wore riding boots?
599
00:38:51,495 --> 00:38:53,395
The day before she was killed.
600
00:38:53,497 --> 00:38:56,091
She went out early in the morning
and didn't get back till noon.
601
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,964
Say, if she was on a horse,
where'd she get all that mud?
602
00:38:59,070 --> 00:39:01,504
- And those scratches?
- Most clever deduction.
603
00:39:01,605 --> 00:39:04,165
Lady did not remain on horse.
604
00:39:04,275 --> 00:39:06,334
Hold boots, please.
605
00:39:08,379 --> 00:39:12,839
- Do you think we've got something, Pop?
- Time and analysis will tell.
606
00:39:12,950 --> 00:39:17,080
- Can reach me at police station if needed.
- Okay.
607
00:39:17,188 --> 00:39:19,748
Don't worry.
I'll keep an eye on things here.
608
00:39:20,858 --> 00:39:24,589
Am certain can depend on same.
609
00:39:24,695 --> 00:39:28,529
Pop sure is smart. He doesn't miss a thing.
610
00:39:28,632 --> 00:39:30,657
Except his son moving the furniture.
611
00:39:30,768 --> 00:39:32,929
Oh, you mean that bench over there?
612
00:39:33,037 --> 00:39:37,201
That wasn't anything. I just dropped
a cigarette and burned a hole in the rug.
613
00:39:37,308 --> 00:39:40,368
Does honorable father
think you're too young to smoke?
614
00:39:40,478 --> 00:39:43,470
Oh, no. I'm no kid.
I help him solve his cases.
615
00:39:43,581 --> 00:39:45,412
- You do?
- Yeah.
616
00:39:45,516 --> 00:39:48,610
I've got an idea how to solve this one.
Do you want to help me?
617
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:51,313
Yes- If I don't get killed.
618
00:39:51,422 --> 00:39:53,515
I wouldn't want you to do
anything dangerous.
619
00:39:53,624 --> 00:39:56,024
- I think you're very nice.
- What do you want me to do?
620
00:39:56,127 --> 00:39:58,687
Well, I haven't got it
all doped out yet.
621
00:39:58,796 --> 00:40:01,765
Do you mind if I smoke?
It helps me to think.
622
00:40:27,057 --> 00:40:29,048
Drive to police station, please.
623
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:31,526
Okay, but I still ain't talkin'.
624
00:40:32,630 --> 00:40:35,030
Excellent.
625
00:40:45,176 --> 00:40:48,270
Aw, now, Priscilla.
I told you not to follow me.
626
00:40:48,379 --> 00:40:50,279
I'm workin'.
627
00:40:53,651 --> 00:40:55,551
Well, I just talked
with the New York police.
628
00:40:55,653 --> 00:40:58,486
They're putting men on the 1935 and '36
newspaper files right away...
629
00:40:58,589 --> 00:41:00,819
and they're going to check up on
Mrs. Bentley's bank account.
630
00:41:00,925 --> 00:41:03,723
- Thank you so much.
- Oh. What did you find on the boots?
631
00:41:03,828 --> 00:41:08,026
Plenty of sand, some pollen
from desert flowers, red clay...
632
00:41:08,132 --> 00:41:11,568
- a suggestion of copper shavings and-
- Horsefeathers.
633
00:41:13,504 --> 00:41:16,132
And minute splinters
from very old wood.
634
00:41:16,240 --> 00:41:19,004
Copper and old wood
suggest abandoned mine.
635
00:41:19,109 --> 00:41:21,077
Yes, well, there are
lots of those around here...
636
00:41:21,178 --> 00:41:23,738
but the red clay narrows it
to someplace south of town.
637
00:41:23,848 --> 00:41:25,748
Distance also limited.
638
00:41:25,850 --> 00:41:29,513
Lady must ride there on horse,
transact mysterious business...
639
00:41:29,620 --> 00:41:32,589
- and return to hotel by noon.
- I see.
640
00:41:32,690 --> 00:41:34,851
Honorable chemist suggest...
641
00:41:34,959 --> 00:41:38,019
old wood might possibly
indicate ghost town.
642
00:41:38,128 --> 00:41:40,062
Yes, that's right.
643
00:41:40,164 --> 00:41:42,462
Oh, wait a minute.
I know one.
644
00:41:42,566 --> 00:41:45,763
Yes. Here it is.
Yeah, there it is, right there.
645
00:41:45,870 --> 00:41:48,498
It's up in the hills, about four miles
off the main road.
646
00:41:48,606 --> 00:41:50,733
It's beyond Dead Man's Canyon.
647
00:41:50,841 --> 00:41:53,571
Yes, there's plenty of red clay
in that district.
648
00:41:53,677 --> 00:41:55,907
And the old Sully copper mines
were there too.
649
00:41:56,013 --> 00:41:59,312
That fits the analysis, and it's about
the only one that fits the distance.
650
00:41:59,416 --> 00:42:01,316
Say, if you're interested...
651
00:42:01,418 --> 00:42:03,409
I'll have Tombstone
drive you up there in the morning.
652
00:42:03,521 --> 00:42:07,218
Visit to Dead Man's Canyon with Tombstone-
Very appropriate.
653
00:42:07,324 --> 00:42:09,952
Will consider same tomorrow.
654
00:42:10,060 --> 00:42:12,221
You want him to drive you
back to the hotel?
655
00:42:12,329 --> 00:42:14,889
Have hotel driver waiting.
656
00:42:14,999 --> 00:42:17,661
Thank you so much.
Good-bye.
657
00:42:23,173 --> 00:42:25,073
Hey, what are you going to do?
658
00:42:25,175 --> 00:42:27,075
I'm going right along
after that guy.
659
00:42:27,177 --> 00:42:31,079
He started one riot tonight,
and I aim to see he don't start no more.
660
00:42:33,350 --> 00:42:36,012
Darned if I can figure why
you want to drive way out here...
661
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:38,020
at this time of night for.
662
00:42:38,122 --> 00:42:41,250
Have strong desire
to visit real ghost town.
663
00:42:41,358 --> 00:42:43,883
But it ain't nothin'
to look at even in the daytime.
664
00:42:43,994 --> 00:42:46,827
You'll see for yourself in a minute.
It's just around the bend.
665
00:42:46,931 --> 00:42:50,799
Please turn off all lights
when entering abandoned village.
666
00:42:52,036 --> 00:42:56,302
- What for?
- Do not wish to alarm sleeping ghosts.
667
00:43:21,231 --> 00:43:23,961
Wish to wait here?
668
00:43:24,068 --> 00:43:26,935
If you don't mind, I think I would.
669
00:44:59,697 --> 00:45:03,030
Oh. It's only you, Sheriff. Hello.
670
00:45:03,133 --> 00:45:05,124
Where is that Chan fella?
671
00:45:05,235 --> 00:45:07,669
He's wanderin' around somewheres...
672
00:45:07,771 --> 00:45:09,898
- lookin' for ghosts.
- Ghosts nothin'.
673
00:45:10,007 --> 00:45:12,601
He's up to something,
and I aim to find out what it is.
674
00:45:12,710 --> 00:45:14,905
He can't give me the slip
and get away with it.
675
00:45:21,485 --> 00:45:23,749
Are you tryin' to be funny?
676
00:45:23,854 --> 00:45:26,721
I don't think so.
I ain't laughin'.
677
00:45:29,159 --> 00:45:31,719
- What's that?
- It ain't mice.
678
00:45:37,501 --> 00:45:40,163
Come out, whoever you are,
with your hands in the air.
679
00:47:32,916 --> 00:47:35,976
- What was that?
- That ain't no... c-c-cow.
680
00:47:36,086 --> 00:47:39,715
You're darn tootin' it ain't. Come on.
681
00:48:09,052 --> 00:48:11,953
Light a match, Chan. I got him bulldogged.
682
00:48:23,967 --> 00:48:26,697
- Why, this is a mining engineer's kit.
- Wait.
683
00:48:26,803 --> 00:48:29,829
Wait'll you get a load
of these papers.
684
00:48:33,610 --> 00:48:36,602
Bentley-The dead woman's husband?
685
00:48:37,981 --> 00:48:40,211
How did he get away?
686
00:48:40,317 --> 00:48:43,150
Regret scuffle
which occurred in dark...
687
00:48:43,253 --> 00:48:45,517
to Mr. Bentley's advantage.
688
00:48:46,990 --> 00:48:50,391
But have written description of car
with number of license.
689
00:48:50,494 --> 00:48:52,587
Suggest you circulate same.
690
00:48:52,696 --> 00:48:56,188
And how, I'll circulate it. This puts
an entirely new light on the case.
691
00:48:56,300 --> 00:48:59,292
He's been out there all this time
in hiding, and I want to know why.
692
00:48:59,403 --> 00:49:01,564
Also why wife visit him in secret.
693
00:49:01,672 --> 00:49:03,572
Mmm. Send out
a general alarm for this car.
694
00:49:03,674 --> 00:49:05,574
The driver is thought
to be George Bentley...
695
00:49:05,676 --> 00:49:07,576
wanted in connection
with his wife's murder.
696
00:49:07,678 --> 00:49:10,408
He'll try to leave the state, so notify
state and county highway patrols...
697
00:49:10,514 --> 00:49:12,414
- to be on the lookout.
- Yes, sir.
698
00:49:12,516 --> 00:49:15,110
I've got a hunch that when we get him
we'll have our murderer.
699
00:49:15,218 --> 00:49:17,982
Sure be a relief to me
to get off of this merry-go-round.
700
00:49:18,088 --> 00:49:20,852
Don't you ever solve
any of your cases in the daytime?
701
00:49:20,958 --> 00:49:23,449
My feet hurt.
702
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:25,460
Chief King speaking.
703
00:49:27,130 --> 00:49:30,395
What? All right.
We'll be over right away.
704
00:49:30,500 --> 00:49:33,196
That was your son.
Something's happened at the hotel.
705
00:49:33,303 --> 00:49:35,294
Must hurry.
Excuse please.
706
00:49:39,643 --> 00:49:42,237
All right, break it up, folks.
Break it up. One side, please.
707
00:49:43,780 --> 00:49:46,613
- What's wrong, Peters?
- This fella tried to sneak out of the hotel.
708
00:49:46,717 --> 00:49:48,617
With these, Pop-
The ones we were lookin' for.
709
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:50,914
I told the officer that
somebody might try to do this...
710
00:49:51,021 --> 00:49:52,921
and sure enough, it was him.
711
00:49:53,023 --> 00:49:55,218
You've got a lot
of explaining to do, Burke.
712
00:49:55,325 --> 00:49:57,225
I want a lawyer.
713
00:49:57,327 --> 00:50:00,387
That won't be hard.
Half the population of Reno is lawyers.
714
00:50:00,497 --> 00:50:03,261
- These are yours?
- Yes.
715
00:50:03,367 --> 00:50:05,267
But I didn't kill her.
716
00:50:05,369 --> 00:50:08,270
Someone's trying to make it look
like I did, and I know who it is.
717
00:50:08,372 --> 00:50:10,272
- Just a minute, young fella.
- Sit down.
718
00:50:10,374 --> 00:50:13,775
Please.
Have not explained scissors.
719
00:50:13,877 --> 00:50:18,473
Jeanne borrowed them from me over a
week ago, and never returned them...
720
00:50:18,582 --> 00:50:20,573
so when I heard she'd been
stabbed with scissors, why-
721
00:50:20,684 --> 00:50:22,584
Who said she was
stabbed with scissors?
722
00:50:22,686 --> 00:50:26,087
Lieutenant Chan-
And the police surgeon confirmed it.
723
00:50:26,189 --> 00:50:28,623
Go on.
Don't tell me anything.
724
00:50:28,725 --> 00:50:30,625
I'll just wait till the whole thing
is solved...
725
00:50:30,727 --> 00:50:33,423
- then read about it in the papers.
- I'm sorry, Tombstone.
726
00:50:33,530 --> 00:50:36,055
I thought you knew it.
All right, go on, Mr. Burke.
727
00:50:36,166 --> 00:50:39,033
Well, I naturally figured
she was killed with my scissors.
728
00:50:39,136 --> 00:50:43,664
Explain present possession
and attempt to dispose of same.
729
00:50:43,774 --> 00:50:45,765
Dr. Ainsley gave me a sedative...
730
00:50:45,876 --> 00:50:48,538
and when I woke up,
the scissors were on my table.
731
00:50:48,645 --> 00:50:50,545
Someone put them there,
but with all the accusations...
732
00:50:50,647 --> 00:50:53,047
that have been made against me,
no one would have believed that.
733
00:50:53,150 --> 00:50:55,050
L- Well, I had to get rid of'em.
734
00:50:55,152 --> 00:50:57,643
- Mr. Chan, there's something queer about this.
- You bet your life there is.
735
00:50:57,754 --> 00:50:59,654
Somebody planted these in my room...
736
00:50:59,756 --> 00:51:03,783
and if they did it for a joke,
I don't think it's funny.
737
00:51:03,894 --> 00:51:06,658
Excuse please.
You were speaking when lady interrupt.
738
00:51:06,763 --> 00:51:09,561
I was just going to say that I found
a pair of desk shears...
739
00:51:09,666 --> 00:51:12,430
- exactly like those in my room tonight.
- What?
740
00:51:12,536 --> 00:51:15,733
- Doctor also find similar pair?
- Yes.
741
00:51:15,839 --> 00:51:17,739
But how did you know?
742
00:51:20,043 --> 00:51:24,309
- Have theory.
- It better be good. They couldn't have all killed her.
743
00:51:24,414 --> 00:51:26,541
Would like to see scissors, please.
744
00:51:26,650 --> 00:51:29,585
- Bring the ones up from my office too.
- Certainly.
745
00:51:35,025 --> 00:51:37,823
Number two son finally win jackpot?
746
00:51:37,928 --> 00:51:39,919
- What do you mean?
- Scissors cost money.
747
00:51:40,030 --> 00:51:43,864
Oh, I had some money left
after I bought this suit.
748
00:51:43,967 --> 00:51:47,232
- What are you talking about?
- Think ambitious young detective...
749
00:51:47,337 --> 00:51:49,805
can explain confusion of scissors.
750
00:51:49,906 --> 00:51:53,467
Well, I figured that if all the suspects
found scissors in their rooms...
751
00:51:53,577 --> 00:51:56,068
the one that was guilty
would try to get rid of'em.
752
00:51:56,179 --> 00:51:59,671
- And it worked too.
- You mean you planted 'em, son?
753
00:51:59,783 --> 00:52:02,684
- Yes, sir.
- I'm as much to blame as Jimmy is.
754
00:52:02,786 --> 00:52:05,550
He thought of it,
but I'm the one who did it.
755
00:52:05,655 --> 00:52:08,215
Oh, boy, am I relieved.
756
00:52:08,325 --> 00:52:10,953
I found these under a cushion
of a chair in Mary's room.
757
00:52:12,329 --> 00:52:15,492
But we didn't put any scissors
in Mrs. Whitman's room.
758
00:52:15,599 --> 00:52:17,499
What?
759
00:52:17,601 --> 00:52:19,660
- You didn't?
- No, sir. We couldn't get in.
760
00:52:19,769 --> 00:52:22,033
That policeman was
on guard outside the door.
761
00:52:22,139 --> 00:52:25,540
Yeah, on my orders.
It looks like I was pretty smart too.
762
00:52:25,642 --> 00:52:27,974
Now what have you got
to say, Mr. Chan?
763
00:52:28,078 --> 00:52:31,673
But I didn't have them there.
I didn't know anything about them.
764
00:52:31,781 --> 00:52:33,510
Have you got that
leather case, Charlie?
765
00:52:33,617 --> 00:52:35,812
Uh, on desk.
766
00:52:38,021 --> 00:52:41,218
Here they are.
What's happened?
767
00:52:41,324 --> 00:52:43,656
Bring scissors, please.
768
00:52:54,371 --> 00:52:58,171
- These the ones that were found in Mrs. Whitman's room?
- Yes.
769
00:53:07,384 --> 00:53:09,784
These have the same trademark
as the letter opener.
770
00:53:09,886 --> 00:53:13,447
I'm afraid there's no doubt that these
are the ones she was stabbed with.
771
00:53:13,557 --> 00:53:15,457
You're afraid?
772
00:53:15,559 --> 00:53:17,459
You got the goods on her
the second time...
773
00:53:17,561 --> 00:53:19,552
and you got him trying to hide
incriminating evidence.
774
00:53:19,663 --> 00:53:23,622
So you apologize. Horsefeathers!
I ain't losin' no more time.
775
00:53:23,733 --> 00:53:25,894
Wait a minute, Tombstone.
What are you going to do?
776
00:53:26,002 --> 00:53:29,460
To see the district attorney. I'm gonna
tell him everything we got on this woman!
777
00:53:29,573 --> 00:53:31,507
I'll lay you 10 to 1 he'll have it...
778
00:53:31,608 --> 00:53:33,906
before the grand jury by morning.
779
00:53:38,348 --> 00:53:40,714
Curt, stop it, please.
780
00:53:42,085 --> 00:53:44,451
You're blaming yourself
for showing them the scissors.
781
00:53:44,554 --> 00:53:46,454
Of course I am.
782
00:53:46,556 --> 00:53:49,684
All I want is to help you,
and, oh, I've made things worse.
783
00:53:49,793 --> 00:53:52,193
I know you wanted to help.
784
00:53:52,295 --> 00:53:54,320
But what did you think
when you found them?
785
00:53:54,431 --> 00:53:56,922
That's what matters.
786
00:53:57,033 --> 00:53:59,399
You must have thought I was guilty.
787
00:53:59,502 --> 00:54:01,970
I didn't think anything
except that I was responsible.
788
00:54:10,146 --> 00:54:12,273
Come in, Charlie.
789
00:54:16,653 --> 00:54:20,453
Sometimes tears from woman
very happy sign.
790
00:54:20,557 --> 00:54:22,457
I'm pretty scared, Charlie.
791
00:54:22,559 --> 00:54:24,459
No need to be.
792
00:54:24,561 --> 00:54:28,861
At moment police are searching
for man who is very likely suspect...
793
00:54:28,965 --> 00:54:32,298
- and when-
- What is it?
794
00:54:32,402 --> 00:54:34,700
Have burned sleeve.
795
00:54:34,804 --> 00:54:37,739
Well, you don't smoke, Mary.
How did you do it?
796
00:54:37,841 --> 00:54:40,241
I don't know.
I- I didn't even notice.
797
00:54:40,343 --> 00:54:42,504
I haven't
had it on since-
798
00:54:42,612 --> 00:54:44,512
Since when?
799
00:54:44,614 --> 00:54:47,777
Since the night I...
found Mrs. Bentley.
800
00:54:47,884 --> 00:54:52,150
Please, return with me to room.
801
00:55:02,065 --> 00:55:03,965
Jimmy.
802
00:55:05,435 --> 00:55:09,030
Lone Ranger's hat bad enough
without wearing horse's blanket.
803
00:55:09,139 --> 00:55:11,334
Oh, you mean these pajamas, Pop?
804
00:55:11,441 --> 00:55:13,432
I didn't buy 'em.
I found 'em in your bag.
805
00:55:13,543 --> 00:55:16,103
They're the ones Mom gave you for Christmas.
806
00:55:17,747 --> 00:55:22,411
Although 3,000 miles away,
honorable wife still make presence felt.
807
00:55:22,519 --> 00:55:24,646
Please.
808
00:55:24,754 --> 00:55:29,054
Mary, would like you
to repeat actions on finding body.
809
00:55:30,660 --> 00:55:32,560
All right.
810
00:55:33,596 --> 00:55:36,588
I, uh- I saw her from the hall...
811
00:55:36,700 --> 00:55:41,160
and crossed over
to the dressing table.
812
00:55:41,271 --> 00:55:45,139
She was lying here
between the bench and-
813
00:55:45,241 --> 00:55:47,209
Well, the bench wasn't here.
814
00:55:47,310 --> 00:55:50,609
Can remember exact position ofbench?
815
00:55:50,714 --> 00:55:52,909
Not exactly, but, uh-
816
00:55:53,016 --> 00:55:55,280
It was something like that.
817
00:55:57,887 --> 00:55:59,684
What's the matter?
818
00:55:59,789 --> 00:56:01,723
What is it, Charlie?
819
00:56:03,393 --> 00:56:08,092
- First bright light in very dense fog.
- You mean a clue to the murder?
820
00:56:09,899 --> 00:56:12,732
Gee, Pop, I can't let you
get sidetracked that way.
821
00:56:12,836 --> 00:56:14,804
I burned it with a cigarette.
822
00:56:14,904 --> 00:56:17,236
Rug burned with acid...
823
00:56:17,340 --> 00:56:19,570
- not cigarette.
- Acid?
824
00:56:21,144 --> 00:56:23,203
How about Mary's sleeve?
825
00:56:23,313 --> 00:56:25,281
Also acid.
826
00:56:27,083 --> 00:56:29,916
Why, there is some there. It must have
been spilled here and dripped down.
827
00:56:30,019 --> 00:56:32,715
If Mary leaned here,
that explains the burn on the sleeve.
828
00:56:32,822 --> 00:56:35,620
Gee, it's a good thing you didn't
get any on your arm, Mrs. Whitman.
829
00:56:35,725 --> 00:56:37,784
Nitric acid leaves a nasty burn.
830
00:56:37,894 --> 00:56:41,489
Number two son think it nitric acid?
831
00:56:41,598 --> 00:56:43,498
Well, it could have been.
832
00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:46,194
It eats through anything but glass.
833
00:56:47,670 --> 00:56:50,468
Have seen one bottle
nitric acid tonight...
834
00:56:50,573 --> 00:56:52,507
but bottle full.
835
00:56:52,609 --> 00:56:55,578
What would acid be doing here?
836
00:56:55,678 --> 00:56:59,239
Think answer may be found
in second bottle-
837
00:56:59,349 --> 00:57:01,408
Not so full.
838
00:57:01,518 --> 00:57:03,645
Nitric acid?
839
00:57:03,753 --> 00:57:05,687
Yes, I have some.
840
00:57:13,430 --> 00:57:16,331
That's funny. I could have sworn
this bottle was full.
841
00:57:16,433 --> 00:57:18,958
No one have occasion to use same?
842
00:57:19,068 --> 00:57:20,968
No.
843
00:57:21,070 --> 00:57:23,163
Excuse.
844
00:57:26,443 --> 00:57:28,877
What is purpose of gauze?
845
00:57:28,978 --> 00:57:31,640
It prevents breaking
and leakage. Why?
846
00:57:31,748 --> 00:57:36,981
Gauze on this different weave and quality
from gauze on other bottle.
847
00:57:37,086 --> 00:57:40,180
It shouldn't be.
They're all shipped from the same firm.
848
00:57:40,290 --> 00:57:43,555
With permission,
will keep till morning.
849
00:57:43,660 --> 00:57:45,719
Certainly.
850
00:57:45,829 --> 00:57:48,229
But do you think
it's connected with the murder?
851
00:57:48,331 --> 00:57:51,459
Person who remove pages
from Mrs. Bentley's scrapbook...
852
00:57:51,568 --> 00:57:54,662
- may have answer.
- Pages from her scrapbook?
853
00:57:54,771 --> 00:57:58,229
Covering years 1935 and '36.
854
00:57:58,341 --> 00:58:01,777
Thought doctor may have noticed
when searching lady's room.
855
00:58:01,878 --> 00:58:03,869
No, I didn't.
856
00:58:03,980 --> 00:58:05,971
Thank you so much.
857
00:58:18,795 --> 00:58:21,320
Label this "Gauze
from Wally Burke's Room. "
858
00:58:21,431 --> 00:58:23,490
Okay.
859
00:58:23,600 --> 00:58:26,728
- Who's next?
- Miss Wells, but you'd better search her room.
860
00:58:26,836 --> 00:58:29,100
All right.
But what if they catch me?
861
00:58:29,205 --> 00:58:31,833
Oh, don't you worry.
I'll be right behind you.
862
00:58:40,650 --> 00:58:44,347
- Yes? Oh! Good morning.
- You bet your life it's a good morning.
863
00:58:44,454 --> 00:58:46,388
- We've got Bentley, the husband.
- Good.
864
00:58:46,489 --> 00:58:48,684
Tombstone's on his way over
to Tonopah to pick him up.
865
00:58:48,791 --> 00:58:50,884
- But I've got some real news from New York.
- Yes?
866
00:58:50,994 --> 00:58:53,724
The police checked on Mrs. Bentley's
New York bank account.
867
00:58:53,830 --> 00:58:55,730
She wrote two checks this month...
868
00:58:55,832 --> 00:58:57,800
for 1,500 apiece.
869
00:58:57,901 --> 00:58:59,892
And who do you think
they were made out to?
870
00:59:00,003 --> 00:59:02,665
Dr. Ainsley.
871
00:59:02,772 --> 00:59:04,933
That is highly interesting.
872
00:59:05,041 --> 00:59:07,032
You check on newspaper files?
873
00:59:07,143 --> 00:59:11,341
And how. Say, no wonder somebody wanted
to get rid of the pages of that scrapbook.
874
00:59:11,447 --> 00:59:13,506
They're dynamite. Get this.
875
00:59:13,616 --> 00:59:17,609
In 1935, Jeanne was married
to a man named Russell.
876
00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:19,915
Russell?
877
00:59:20,023 --> 00:59:22,082
Related to Mrs. Russell here?
878
00:59:22,191 --> 00:59:27,185
Her ex-husband.
And he died suddenly in 1936.
879
00:59:27,297 --> 00:59:29,288
What was cause of death?
880
00:59:29,399 --> 00:59:32,857
According to the attending physician,
Russell died of a heart attack...
881
00:59:32,969 --> 00:59:37,065
but the attending physician
was our old friend Dr. Ainsley.
882
00:59:40,276 --> 00:59:43,109
Must see Mrs. Russell at once.
883
00:59:44,747 --> 00:59:46,681
Very urgent.
884
00:59:49,886 --> 00:59:51,786
Pop!
885
00:59:51,888 --> 00:59:55,688
- They just found Mrs. Russell in her room, strangled.
- Lady dead?
886
00:59:55,792 --> 00:59:58,317
I don't know. The maid found her
and called Dr. Ainsley.
887
00:59:58,428 --> 01:00:01,454
- Dr. Ainsley?
- Doctor with her now?
888
01:00:01,564 --> 01:00:03,623
- Yes. - Hurry.
- Come along.
889
01:00:07,270 --> 01:00:09,932
Lift her arm to the outside
of the covers, please.
890
01:00:20,483 --> 01:00:24,180
- Doctor. One moment.
- What are you giving her?
891
01:00:24,287 --> 01:00:27,256
Adrenaline. She's got to have
a heart stimulant.
892
01:00:27,357 --> 01:00:29,518
- Will take, please.
- What's the matter, Mr. Chan?
893
01:00:29,626 --> 01:00:31,526
Have you gone mad?
894
01:00:31,628 --> 01:00:34,028
Examination of hypodermic
will determine that.
895
01:00:34,130 --> 01:00:36,030
- Jimmy!
- I got it, Pop.
896
01:00:36,132 --> 01:00:38,896
- Thank you so much.
- Let me have that, please.
897
01:00:39,002 --> 01:00:41,937
Keep this man covered, Peters.
I'll call the police surgeon.
898
01:00:42,038 --> 01:00:45,269
Choy Wong, stay with lady.
Can help when police surgeon arrive.
899
01:00:45,375 --> 01:00:47,275
Jimmy.
900
01:00:53,883 --> 01:00:55,783
You search rooms for gauze?
901
01:00:55,885 --> 01:00:58,479
Yeah. This was in
Wally Burke's room.
902
01:00:58,588 --> 01:01:01,580
I guess the doctor used it last night
to patch him up after the fight.
903
01:01:01,691 --> 01:01:05,787
And this was in Miss Wells' room,
in the wastebasket.
904
01:01:05,895 --> 01:01:08,295
Neither one of them matches the gauze
on the nitric acid bottle...
905
01:01:08,398 --> 01:01:10,298
but I brought them along anyway.
906
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:12,698
We didn't get a chance
to look in here.
907
01:01:12,802 --> 01:01:15,430
- Can look now.
- Yes.
908
01:01:27,684 --> 01:01:29,709
Pop! This is it.
909
01:01:29,819 --> 01:01:31,787
It matches.
910
01:01:31,888 --> 01:01:34,448
That means that Mrs. Russell
took the acid from the Doctor's office.
911
01:01:34,557 --> 01:01:36,923
- Do you suppose that she-
- Please.
912
01:01:37,026 --> 01:01:41,190
You will take all exhibits to room
and guard carefully.
913
01:01:45,535 --> 01:01:47,526
If lady recovers
sufficiently to talk...
914
01:01:47,637 --> 01:01:51,300
bring all suspects to scene of crime.
915
01:01:52,408 --> 01:01:54,535
Oh. Also request...
916
01:01:54,644 --> 01:01:58,740
everyone wear same clothes
as night of murder.
917
01:02:13,830 --> 01:02:15,957
All right, Bentley, come on.
918
01:02:20,369 --> 01:02:22,303
What are you bringing me here for?
919
01:02:22,405 --> 01:02:25,306
Oh, ain't you heard?
We don't put people in jail no more.
920
01:02:25,408 --> 01:02:27,376
We take 'em to the best hotel.
921
01:02:27,477 --> 01:02:29,377
Give 'em music with their meals...
922
01:02:29,479 --> 01:02:31,743
and hot and cold
running water and-
923
01:02:31,848 --> 01:02:34,043
Horsefeathers.
Come on.
924
01:02:35,752 --> 01:02:39,279
Stick around if you like, Mr. Whitman,
but Charlie doesn't want you inside.
925
01:02:39,388 --> 01:02:41,583
Okay. I guess Charlie knows
what he's doing. I'll wait downstairs.
926
01:02:41,691 --> 01:02:43,682
Joe, keep your eye
on the elevator and the stairs.
927
01:02:43,793 --> 01:02:45,988
You boys stick here
and don't let anybody leave this room.
928
01:02:46,095 --> 01:02:47,995
- You understand?
- Yes, sir.
929
01:02:48,097 --> 01:02:50,122
- What's goin' on?
- Charlie's called all the suspects together.
930
01:02:50,233 --> 01:02:52,201
He's going to produce the murderer.
931
01:02:52,301 --> 01:02:54,201
He's going to produce the murderer?
932
01:02:54,303 --> 01:02:56,203
After I drive to Tonopah
to pick 'im up?
933
01:02:56,305 --> 01:02:58,671
Go on in, Burke.
934
01:03:05,081 --> 01:03:07,948
Well, I'm a cockeyed son of a gun
if this don't beat all.
935
01:03:08,050 --> 01:03:10,245
- What's the matter?
- I knew that Chan fella was fancy...
936
01:03:10,353 --> 01:03:13,720
but if he can't hold an inquest
without making it formal, I give up.
937
01:03:13,823 --> 01:03:16,656
Relax, will you?
All right, go in, ladies, please.
938
01:03:18,094 --> 01:03:20,654
Come on. He's probably
serving cocktails again.
939
01:03:26,169 --> 01:03:28,501
Have been called together
because each of you...
940
01:03:28,604 --> 01:03:32,062
had very strong reason
for hating Mrs. Bentley.
941
01:03:32,175 --> 01:03:35,042
One of you had motive
powerful enough to kill.
942
01:03:36,646 --> 01:03:39,342
Here is lady whose husband
was stolen from her...
943
01:03:39,448 --> 01:03:42,474
by murdered woman five years ago.
944
01:03:42,585 --> 01:03:45,577
Here is young man,
blindly in love...
945
01:03:45,688 --> 01:03:50,523
until eyes rudely opened
by ugly insult in public.
946
01:03:52,361 --> 01:03:56,593
Miss Wells, impulsive young lady
in love with Doctor...
947
01:03:56,699 --> 01:03:59,998
has admitted she would have
killed Mrs. Bentley...
948
01:04:00,102 --> 01:04:02,161
if given sufficient provocation.
949
01:04:02,271 --> 01:04:04,171
Just a minute. Just a minute.
950
01:04:04,273 --> 01:04:06,503
If you're takin' 'em
from left to right...
951
01:04:06,609 --> 01:04:08,509
you just skipped
your friend Mrs. Whitman.
952
01:04:08,611 --> 01:04:10,545
She's still the only one
found with the body.
953
01:04:10,646 --> 01:04:12,637
Will neglect no one.
954
01:04:14,217 --> 01:04:17,414
Here is husband.
Most anxious to get rid of wife.
955
01:04:17,520 --> 01:04:19,454
Only in a legal,
straightforward manner.
956
01:04:19,555 --> 01:04:21,887
Then why were you hiding out
in that ghost town?
957
01:04:21,991 --> 01:04:23,891
I'm a mining engineer.
958
01:04:23,993 --> 01:04:25,893
I got a job to
look over those mines...
959
01:04:25,995 --> 01:04:28,020
afterJeanne had established
residence in Reno.
960
01:04:28,130 --> 01:04:30,724
I was afraid if I was seen here
it would look like collusion...
961
01:04:30,833 --> 01:04:32,630
and the divorce wouldn't be granted.
962
01:04:32,735 --> 01:04:34,635
Or maybe you thought
you had a perfect alibi-
963
01:04:34,737 --> 01:04:38,070
That no one would suspect you of murdering
your wife if she was giving you a divorce.
964
01:04:38,174 --> 01:04:40,233
Yeah. If you're
so all-fired innocent...
965
01:04:40,343 --> 01:04:43,471
why did you put up such a scrap last night
and then run away?
966
01:04:43,579 --> 01:04:45,410
I didn't know you were
connected with the police.
967
01:04:45,514 --> 01:04:48,540
I found a man sneaking around my place,
so I jumped him.
968
01:04:48,651 --> 01:04:50,949
- You would have done the same thing.
- Horsefeathers.
969
01:04:51,053 --> 01:04:53,146
- I'm arrestin' you.
- Tombstone.
970
01:04:53,256 --> 01:04:55,156
He's already under arrest.
971
01:04:55,258 --> 01:04:58,056
Why did wife visit you
on day before murder?
972
01:04:58,160 --> 01:05:02,096
She was panicky.
Said she needed $5,000 right away.
973
01:05:02,198 --> 01:05:04,393
- Did you give it to her?
- I didn't have it.
974
01:05:04,500 --> 01:05:06,968
- Did she say why she wanted it?
- No.
975
01:05:07,069 --> 01:05:10,732
Think Dr. Ainsley can
furnish answer to that.
976
01:05:12,141 --> 01:05:14,041
What do you mean?
977
01:05:14,143 --> 01:05:17,340
Doctor said had known
Mrs. Bentley only three weeks...
978
01:05:17,446 --> 01:05:20,813
yet signed false certificate
on death of first husband...
979
01:05:20,917 --> 01:05:23,647
Wayne Russell, three years ago.
980
01:05:23,753 --> 01:05:27,348
False certificate?
You mean she killed him?
981
01:05:29,292 --> 01:05:31,954
Canceled checks prove
Mrs. Bentley...
982
01:05:32,061 --> 01:05:35,656
paid Dr. Ainsley large sums of money
to keep guilty secret.
983
01:05:35,765 --> 01:05:39,326
- If I'd known that I-
- Didn't you?
984
01:05:39,435 --> 01:05:40,925
No.
985
01:05:45,241 --> 01:05:47,300
Then please explain
why you visit Mrs. Bentley...
986
01:05:47,410 --> 01:05:50,311
with acid bottle.
987
01:05:50,413 --> 01:05:52,813
How did you know-
988
01:05:52,915 --> 01:05:54,849
We know you were here.
989
01:05:56,953 --> 01:05:59,012
I came to disfigure her.
990
01:05:59,121 --> 01:06:02,056
When Mrs. Whitman arrived at the hotel
and I saw what happened...
991
01:06:02,158 --> 01:06:04,149
I realized thatJeanne
was going to ruin her life...
992
01:06:04,260 --> 01:06:06,353
the same as she'd ruined mine.
993
01:06:06,462 --> 01:06:08,453
All the hate I'd felt
came back to me.
994
01:06:08,564 --> 01:06:11,328
I got the acid
from the doctor's office.
995
01:06:11,434 --> 01:06:14,528
But found lady's face
protected by beauty mask.
996
01:06:14,637 --> 01:06:16,537
That's it.
997
01:06:16,639 --> 01:06:18,630
Then you grabbed the scissors
and stabbed her.
998
01:06:18,741 --> 01:06:22,177
- Mrs. Russell, I arrest you in the name of the law.
- I didn't kill her.
999
01:06:22,278 --> 01:06:24,746
When Jeanne saw the acid
she grabbed for it.
1000
01:06:24,847 --> 01:06:26,838
Said she'd give me a dose
of my own medicine.
1001
01:06:26,949 --> 01:06:29,543
I kept her from getting it,
but some of the acid was spilled.
1002
01:06:29,652 --> 01:06:31,984
When I left her,
she was very much alive.
1003
01:06:32,088 --> 01:06:33,817
But now I understand what happened.
1004
01:06:33,923 --> 01:06:36,357
When she couldn't get
the $5,000 from Bentley...
1005
01:06:36,459 --> 01:06:38,723
- the doctor killed her.
- He didn't.
1006
01:06:38,828 --> 01:06:41,194
Missing $100 bills found
in doctor's room...
1007
01:06:41,297 --> 01:06:44,733
- prove he was here on night of murder.
- What ifhe was?
1008
01:06:44,834 --> 01:06:47,667
If he was blackmailing Mrs. Bentley,
would he kill his meal ticket?
1009
01:06:47,770 --> 01:06:50,136
- You keep out of this.
- I won't keep out of it.
1010
01:06:50,239 --> 01:06:52,139
Excuse.
1011
01:06:52,241 --> 01:06:54,300
Miss Wells very calm young lady...
1012
01:06:54,410 --> 01:06:56,503
except where doctor is concerned.
1013
01:06:56,612 --> 01:07:00,514
Do you think I'm going to let a bunch of
blundering fools pin a murder on him?
1014
01:07:00,616 --> 01:07:03,710
What time was it when you
brought the acid up here?
1015
01:07:03,819 --> 01:07:06,845
- After 12:00.
- And she was alive then.
1016
01:07:06,956 --> 01:07:08,924
Dr. Ainsley came up here
at 10 minutes of 10::00...
1017
01:07:09,025 --> 01:07:10,925
and left at 11:00.
1018
01:07:11,027 --> 01:07:13,518
I know, because I was
waiting for him in the office.
1019
01:07:13,629 --> 01:07:17,395
- Waiting with watch in hand?
- What do you mean?
1020
01:07:17,500 --> 01:07:21,630
Such careful check on time
highly suggestive of jealousy.
1021
01:07:21,737 --> 01:07:24,399
What are you doing now,
accusing her?
1022
01:07:24,507 --> 01:07:27,237
Have accused no one as yet.
1023
01:07:27,343 --> 01:07:29,436
Merely search for truth.
1024
01:07:29,545 --> 01:07:32,776
What about Mrs. Russell?
She admits coming up here with the acid.
1025
01:07:32,882 --> 01:07:35,442
Yet you take her word for it
that she left without killing her.
1026
01:07:35,618 --> 01:07:37,483
Please.
1027
01:07:39,455 --> 01:07:41,650
Can explain bandage found in room?
1028
01:07:41,757 --> 01:07:44,453
Who found it in my room?
1029
01:07:44,560 --> 01:07:48,291
Number two son-
Most ambitions amateur sleuth.
1030
01:07:48,397 --> 01:07:50,365
A lot of people found
scissors in their room...
1031
01:07:50,466 --> 01:07:52,627
and they were planted
by number two son...
1032
01:07:52,735 --> 01:07:54,635
so what does that prove,
Mr. Charlie Chan?
1033
01:07:54,737 --> 01:07:56,637
Look out!
Your-Your sleeve's on fire.
1034
01:07:56,739 --> 01:07:58,639
- Look out. Fire.
- Stop it. Let go of me.
1035
01:07:58,741 --> 01:08:00,299
- Stop it! Leave me alone.
- What is it?
1036
01:08:00,409 --> 01:08:02,309
Leave me alone.
Stop it!
1037
01:08:02,411 --> 01:08:04,311
What happened, Charlie?
1038
01:08:04,413 --> 01:08:06,313
Merely experiment with liquid smoke.
1039
01:08:06,415 --> 01:08:09,782
Quite harmless,
but highly successful...
1040
01:08:09,885 --> 01:08:12,581
in trapping murderess.
1041
01:08:12,688 --> 01:08:15,851
Honorable sheriff
may now make arrest.
1042
01:08:15,958 --> 01:08:17,926
Who? Her? Uh-uh.
1043
01:08:18,027 --> 01:08:21,326
I ain't makin' no more arrests
until I got the evidence.
1044
01:08:21,430 --> 01:08:24,263
Burn on arm received
from nitric acid...
1045
01:08:24,366 --> 01:08:27,130
when Miss Wells reach for scissors
to stab Mrs. Bentley.
1046
01:08:27,236 --> 01:08:29,136
Evidence of guilt...
1047
01:08:29,238 --> 01:08:32,867
quite apparent
in desperate desire to hide burn.
1048
01:08:32,975 --> 01:08:36,604
Sorry to resort to trick,
but lady make fatal mistake...
1049
01:08:36,712 --> 01:08:39,112
by wearing jacket
she did not wear...
1050
01:08:39,215 --> 01:08:41,342
- on night of murder.
- Just a minute.
1051
01:08:41,450 --> 01:08:43,441
Where do you think
you'll get with that evidence?
1052
01:08:43,552 --> 01:08:45,452
Never mind.
1053
01:08:45,554 --> 01:08:47,886
Mr. Chan's right.
I did kill her.
1054
01:08:47,990 --> 01:08:51,050
But I didn't intend to.
I didn't even bring a weapon.
1055
01:08:51,160 --> 01:08:53,287
I only wanted to find out
what was between...
1056
01:08:53,395 --> 01:08:55,693
her and Dr. Ainsley,
but she wouldn't tell me.
1057
01:08:55,798 --> 01:08:57,698
She was drunk and nasty,
and when I threatened...
1058
01:08:57,800 --> 01:08:59,700
to get the truth out of him,
she went for me.
1059
01:08:59,802 --> 01:09:01,702
She'd have killed me,
so I grabbed up...
1060
01:09:01,804 --> 01:09:03,704
the first thing I saw
to defend myself.
1061
01:09:03,806 --> 01:09:05,706
You've got to believe me.
1062
01:09:05,808 --> 01:09:09,005
Sincerely hope
will convince jury of same.
1063
01:09:13,949 --> 01:09:16,008
One moment, please.
1064
01:09:16,118 --> 01:09:18,416
- May also arrest doctor.
- What for?
1065
01:09:18,521 --> 01:09:23,390
Analysis of hypodermic
revealed deadly poison, not adrenaline.
1066
01:09:24,493 --> 01:09:27,189
What? Has there been another murder?
1067
01:09:27,296 --> 01:09:29,196
No, Tombstone.
Attempted murder.
1068
01:09:29,298 --> 01:09:31,664
- Dr. Ainsley tried to kill Mrs. Russell.
- Why?
1069
01:09:31,767 --> 01:09:35,362
Doctor guessed it was Mrs. Russell
who removed pages from scrapbook.
1070
01:09:35,471 --> 01:09:38,406
He feared exposure of old guilt...
1071
01:09:38,507 --> 01:09:41,340
in connection
with Wayne Russell's death.
1072
01:09:41,443 --> 01:09:44,003
Where was I when
all this was goin' on?
1073
01:09:44,113 --> 01:09:47,139
- In Tonopah.
- Horsefeathers.
1074
01:09:48,317 --> 01:09:50,217
Wait a minute.
Where are you going?
1075
01:09:50,319 --> 01:09:53,413
Back to Tonopah. They got a nice, easy
case of cattle rustling over there...
1076
01:09:53,522 --> 01:09:55,717
and I know I can pin it
on the guilty guy...
1077
01:09:55,824 --> 01:09:58,520
because they found him
under the cow.
1078
01:10:03,499 --> 01:10:05,399
All right, Doctor.
1079
01:10:05,501 --> 01:10:07,867
Is it over?
Are you cleared?
1080
01:10:07,970 --> 01:10:10,370
Did you think
of that liquid smoke gag all by yourself?
1081
01:10:10,472 --> 01:10:12,372
Pop and I worked it out together.
1082
01:10:12,474 --> 01:10:14,442
Oh, Jimmy, I think you're wonderful.
1083
01:10:15,644 --> 01:10:19,239
Number two son's present idea
strictly his own...
1084
01:10:19,348 --> 01:10:22,010
but not bad as example.
