2
00:00:43,036 --> 00:00:45,159
Yes?
- Drugstore
3
00:00:45,413 --> 00:00:47,701
Miss Judith! Package!
4
00:00:47,957 --> 00:00:49,332
It's a charge. Take it, Pop.
5
00:00:58,048 --> 00:01:03,089
After you go out for dinner, I come
back and permanent fix the plumbing.
6
00:01:03,261 --> 00:01:03,925
Fine.
7
00:01:04,178 --> 00:01:07,961
I use my pass key. You
don't worry about nothing.
8
00:01:08,181 --> 00:01:10,588
Thanks for everything. Good night, Pop.
9
00:01:10,767 --> 00:01:11,431
Good night.
10
00:02:01,140 --> 00:02:06,134
Drugstore again. I... I think
I left the wrong package.
11
00:02:06,269 --> 00:02:08,511
A minute later, I'd have been in the tub.
12
00:02:24,451 --> 00:02:27,866
No, my name's on it.
- Sorry.
13
00:04:40,893 --> 00:04:43,562
Mr. Mobley, You're on the
air in fifteen minutes.
14
00:04:43,812 --> 00:04:44,594
Just a minute, Gus.
15
00:04:48,024 --> 00:04:53,183
Oh, boy! Have the copy
put on the idiot sheet.
16
00:05:04,203 --> 00:05:06,030
Please, Mr. Mobley.
17
00:05:07,039 --> 00:05:08,616
"Ever on the alert to serve its... "
18
00:05:11,709 --> 00:05:13,203
Mr. Loving's office.
19
00:05:13,544 --> 00:05:18,703
Tell that boss of yours to stop purring
over your shoulder while he dictates.
20
00:05:20,591 --> 00:05:22,584
Shut your obscene face!
21
00:05:22,968 --> 00:05:24,343
Want a drink later...
22
00:05:27,222 --> 00:05:30,092
At your place?
- Oh, no, we've tried my place.
23
00:05:30,391 --> 00:05:33,724
What would you suggest
- Madison Square Garden?
24
00:05:36,813 --> 00:05:40,228
I'm sorry, Mr. Loving. That Mobley
- I've told him and told him.
25
00:05:40,983 --> 00:05:43,189
Well, frankly, Nancy, I don't blame him.
26
00:05:43,860 --> 00:05:46,944
I sometimes wish these walls
were not made out of glass.
27
00:05:47,363 --> 00:05:50,529
"And the Kyne news service,
ever on the alert... "
28
00:05:50,907 --> 00:05:51,938
"Ever on the alert... "
29
00:05:57,746 --> 00:06:00,450
Hello.
- Going home, Mildred?
30
00:06:00,540 --> 00:06:02,366
Oh, darling, I don't have to.
31
00:06:03,167 --> 00:06:05,658
There are two schools of
thought about that mink.
32
00:06:06,044 --> 00:06:08,202
One is that a syndicate bought it,
33
00:06:08,296 --> 00:06:11,830
and the other is that Mark Loving
shelled out for the whole thing.
34
00:06:11,924 --> 00:06:14,924
Well, why don't you get me alone
some night and I'll tell you all?
35
00:06:15,052 --> 00:06:19,677
That's a good offer.
- You ought to find out just how good. Bye.
36
00:06:27,645 --> 00:06:29,970
Hey! Bright eyes!
- Yes, sir?
37
00:06:30,230 --> 00:06:32,472
See what's in the city news ticker, huh?
- Right.
38
00:07:03,298 --> 00:07:06,916
Get Mark Loving in here and Jon
Day Griffith and Harry Kritzer!
39
00:07:07,010 --> 00:07:09,216
And Ed Mobley, too!
- Mr. Kyne.
40
00:07:09,387 --> 00:07:11,924
Mr. Kyne! You promised
the doctor no more work...
41
00:07:12,139 --> 00:07:15,554
A murder story's just come in, Miss
Dodd! It's a lulu, and they're blowing it!
42
00:07:25,274 --> 00:07:28,275
Mr. Griffith, Mr. Kyne would like to see you.
43
00:07:46,583 --> 00:07:49,204
Gentlemen.
44
00:07:50,419 --> 00:07:52,163
Mr. Griffith.
45
00:07:57,592 --> 00:08:01,375
I don't like to have my wire service
beat by every other one in the country.
46
00:08:03,889 --> 00:08:07,636
Why, it's just another murder.
- I suggest that the life of a human being...
47
00:08:07,725 --> 00:08:11,140
...is not beneath your consideration.
- All right. I'll get onto it myself.
48
00:08:11,228 --> 00:08:14,762
Jon? May I remind you that your first
edition is on the street at 7 pm?
49
00:08:15,189 --> 00:08:18,558
All I've got left is the final.
I'll put this on page two.
50
00:08:19,359 --> 00:08:21,731
How many women in the
United States use lipstick?
51
00:08:21,820 --> 00:08:24,606
How many women are there?
- I want every one of them scared silly...
52
00:08:24,697 --> 00:08:28,231
...every time she puts any on! Call
this baby "The Lipstick Killer" -
53
00:08:28,325 --> 00:08:30,483
smack across the front page!
- Whatever you say, Amos.
54
00:08:30,618 --> 00:08:33,821
How about pictures?
- I'll send the men out right away.
55
00:08:34,246 --> 00:08:37,449
And I'll send you a special
letter of commendation.
56
00:08:37,666 --> 00:08:39,658
Now, get out of here, both
of you, and get to work.
57
00:08:42,503 --> 00:08:44,958
Do you want me to feature
this thing on my telecast?
58
00:08:45,922 --> 00:08:49,540
Ed, I'm real jumpy.
- So am I. I'm on the air in four minutes.
59
00:08:50,134 --> 00:08:53,383
Who's going to run the whole
show when my carburetor conks out?
60
00:08:53,970 --> 00:08:56,342
You'll do that yourself for many a year.
61
00:08:56,514 --> 00:09:01,673
Kyne Enterprises... something that's taken
a lifetime of brains and guts to build...
62
00:09:02,435 --> 00:09:06,895
...and in all that lifetime, I find
I've only made two big mistakes.
63
00:09:07,523 --> 00:09:09,764
Well, I'm surprised that
you admit to that many.
64
00:09:10,483 --> 00:09:13,104
One
- my son Walter. I killed him with kindness:
65
00:09:13,528 --> 00:09:17,607
Polo ponies, yachts, women...
especially women he married.
66
00:09:18,949 --> 00:09:22,364
Second...
- I think you're looking in my direction.
67
00:09:22,785 --> 00:09:26,367
Why didn't you want to fill my
shoes, Ed? Where was your ambition?
68
00:09:26,746 --> 00:09:30,162
I'm content the way I am: Just to
be able to write a book now and then,
69
00:09:30,291 --> 00:09:33,078
keep my nose clean... I
have no appetite for power.
70
00:09:33,961 --> 00:09:37,660
I'm not talking about
power. It's a bigger thing -
71
00:09:37,797 --> 00:09:41,331
the responsibility of the
free press to the people.
72
00:09:41,967 --> 00:09:45,916
In this country, it's the
people who make the decisions.
73
00:09:46,095 --> 00:09:51,551
If they're to make their decisions right,
they have to have all the facts that we -
74
00:09:56,770 --> 00:09:59,308
I didn't mean to cut you off, but...
75
00:10:00,148 --> 00:10:01,144
Amos!
76
00:10:01,316 --> 00:10:04,269
It's eleven o'clock and Kyne
Enterprises... Amos! Amos!
77
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:09,235
...including the Kyne newspapers, Kyne
Press Service, Kyne Photo Service...
78
00:10:09,322 --> 00:10:13,449
...and Kyne Weekly, present the
distinguished author, columnist,
79
00:10:16,578 --> 00:10:17,953
Film. No script.
80
00:10:21,207 --> 00:10:25,334
Ladies and gentlemen,
most newsmen value a beat.
81
00:10:25,752 --> 00:10:27,958
Here's one I wish I didn't have.
82
00:10:28,087 --> 00:10:31,538
A few moments ago, Amos Kyne passed away...
83
00:10:55,943 --> 00:10:57,271
Hello?
84
00:11:05,450 --> 00:11:08,367
Yes?
- The gentlemen are here, Mr. Kyne.
85
00:11:08,494 --> 00:11:12,278
Where did they locate him?
- At the Stork Club. Where else?
86
00:11:14,458 --> 00:11:16,782
You three. Ed's to wait.
87
00:11:29,553 --> 00:11:33,135
Gentlemen, except for Harry,
I'm afraid I don't know you.
88
00:11:33,473 --> 00:11:35,761
It is terrible about your father.
- Yes.
89
00:11:36,850 --> 00:11:40,301
You are... Mark Loving?
- That's right.
90
00:11:40,437 --> 00:11:42,476
And just what do you do around here?
91
00:11:45,232 --> 00:11:49,181
I run Kyne Newswire Service
- KNS.
92
00:11:50,153 --> 00:11:55,312
I presume you've checked our handling
of your father's death. Any suggestions?
93
00:11:55,449 --> 00:12:00,608
The newswire. Yes, we
must talk about that soon.
94
00:12:01,495 --> 00:12:07,117
You must be... Jon Day Griffith.
95
00:12:07,291 --> 00:12:11,240
I sweep up the floor, and
I'm editor of The Sentinel.
96
00:12:11,753 --> 00:12:14,789
I'm also advisory editor
of the other nine papers.
97
00:12:14,923 --> 00:12:17,211
Are you responsible for the
fact that a cheap murder was
98
00:12:17,299 --> 00:12:19,920
featured on the same front
page as the death of my father?
99
00:12:20,260 --> 00:12:22,383
The old man wanted the story played up big.
100
00:12:22,595 --> 00:12:25,086
'Course, he didn't know
then he was going to be news.
101
00:12:25,348 --> 00:12:27,719
But in as much as it was his last request -
102
00:12:27,891 --> 00:12:31,805
Walter, I have arranged a copyrighted
feature on the old man's life.
103
00:12:31,936 --> 00:12:33,893
Shall I give it to Mark
to send over the wire?
104
00:12:34,772 --> 00:12:39,433
We'll see. Harry, it's been a long time.
105
00:12:39,526 --> 00:12:42,561
How's Dorothy?
- We must have dinner soon.
106
00:12:43,612 --> 00:12:48,072
I just wanted to tell you three that at the
moment I contemplate no changes in personnel.
107
00:12:48,408 --> 00:12:52,107
So for the time being, none of
you has anything to worry about.
108
00:12:58,708 --> 00:13:02,158
On your way, will you tell Mobley to come in?
109
00:13:10,592 --> 00:13:12,549
Well?
- You're on.
110
00:13:31,359 --> 00:13:35,486
So, you're Edward Mobley?
- Deepest sympathy Mr. Kyne.
111
00:13:35,904 --> 00:13:37,695
Sit down.
- Thank you.
112
00:13:39,031 --> 00:13:41,273
You're the fellow who wrote the book.
113
00:13:42,326 --> 00:13:46,535
Every time the old man got
sore at me, which was often,
114
00:13:46,572 --> 00:13:50,745
he used to talk about you.
Mobley this and Mobley that.
115
00:13:51,041 --> 00:13:55,868
I got pretty sick of it.
- Yes I can imagine you did.
116
00:13:56,587 --> 00:14:00,999
Those three who were just in here made
their opinion of me pretty plain...
117
00:14:01,091 --> 00:14:05,633
...Amos Kyne's idiot son.
I suppose you feel the same.
118
00:14:06,303 --> 00:14:10,549
Frankly, I don't feel qualified
to feel any way about you Mr. Kyne.
119
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:15,799
Other publishers took their sons in and
taught them the business, but not him.
120
00:14:17,687 --> 00:14:21,208
Till I get the hang of things around
here, I'm going to need some help -
121
00:14:21,244 --> 00:14:24,729
not that I don't intend to run things
my own way, from behind the scenes.
122
00:14:25,193 --> 00:14:29,605
I've got an idea. It's a great
idea, if I do say so myself.
123
00:14:29,989 --> 00:14:34,152
I'm going to create a new job
- Executive Director...
124
00:14:34,618 --> 00:14:39,444
someone to do the actual
work. What do you think of it?
125
00:14:40,706 --> 00:14:43,492
It sounds like a step your
father would have approved.
126
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:48,495
My father is dead. This is my plant now.
127
00:14:48,754 --> 00:14:53,007
I'm going to get myself a gimmick
- something that will set the three if them
128
00:14:53,044 --> 00:14:56,422
scrambling for the new job.
What do you think of that?
129
00:14:59,971 --> 00:15:01,251
I'd rather not say.
130
00:15:02,348 --> 00:15:07,424
When I have them dangling on a string...
when they realize that I hold their
131
00:15:07,519 --> 00:15:13,354
entire lives in my hands...
they won't sneer. Now, tell me...
132
00:15:15,025 --> 00:15:18,310
could even he have thought
up an idea like that?
133
00:15:19,195 --> 00:15:25,528
No, never! Anything further?
- Not for now.
134
00:15:26,075 --> 00:15:27,783
Then good morning.
135
00:15:39,586 --> 00:15:44,247
"Dear Walter Kyne, before your
father died, I was working on a...
136
00:15:44,340 --> 00:15:49,001
"tie-up with Midwest Television,
which could be immensely profitable.
137
00:15:49,261 --> 00:15:54,420
"During these trying days of mourning,
I have not wanted to disturb you,
138
00:15:54,515 --> 00:15:56,673
but let's have a conference
as soon as possible. "
139
00:15:56,975 --> 00:15:59,347
All right, Nancy, get that
out in the morning. That's all.
140
00:16:00,478 --> 00:16:03,395
What's Griffith doing in there
for half an hour with Walter Kyne?
141
00:16:05,649 --> 00:16:09,515
Good night, Miss Donner, Mr. Loving.
- Good night.
142
00:16:10,528 --> 00:16:15,521
Mil... until I clinch this new job, I'm
going to be like a cat on a hot tin roof.
143
00:16:15,615 --> 00:16:18,070
Oh, love, the boys have
gotten out of betting line.
144
00:16:18,159 --> 00:16:21,242
You're their favorite and mine 6 to 5.
- It's not that simple.
145
00:16:21,411 --> 00:16:23,984
I'm plumping with everything
that I can think of:
146
00:16:24,163 --> 00:16:29,323
This Midwest deal, influence...
I've written dozens of letters.
147
00:16:29,418 --> 00:16:33,035
I'll have the pressure pouring in, but
Kyne keeps harping on this murder thing,
148
00:16:33,129 --> 00:16:35,619
as if solving it could be a factor...
149
00:16:36,090 --> 00:16:38,331
now, do you suppose that
- Why not?
150
00:16:38,675 --> 00:16:41,878
It does credit to a better
brain than Walter Kyne's.
151
00:16:41,969 --> 00:16:44,376
Yes. He'd get a scoop
and an Executive Director,
152
00:16:44,471 --> 00:16:47,145
without the trouble of
making up his little mind.
153
00:16:47,182 --> 00:16:51,428
There's the guy now!
- Darling, I thought you liked Jon.
154
00:16:51,519 --> 00:16:53,262
Well, there's no room
for love around here now.
155
00:16:53,687 --> 00:16:55,146
What's he doing with Gerald Meade?
156
00:16:55,438 --> 00:16:58,474
Well, darling, solving
the murder's the big thing.
157
00:16:58,566 --> 00:17:01,139
He'd naturally want the
crime-beat man on his team.
158
00:17:01,443 --> 00:17:03,352
So why don't you try and get him on yours?
159
00:17:04,529 --> 00:17:06,735
Griffith's probably sewing him up right now.
160
00:17:07,031 --> 00:17:10,779
Gerald would sell his mother and deliver.
- Well then how can I be sure of him?
161
00:17:10,993 --> 00:17:12,617
Do I speak with him?
162
00:17:12,786 --> 00:17:17,826
You go to work on Meade, and if it will
ease your mind, love, in a little while
163
00:17:17,915 --> 00:17:21,248
I'll drop down to the
Dell and feel out Griffith.
164
00:17:29,466 --> 00:17:33,000
Better have another, Carlo.
I've been upstairs with Walter Kyne.
165
00:17:33,552 --> 00:17:34,583
A fine man.
166
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,590
- He's a weak-spined,
blue-eyed fish, if you ask me!
167
00:17:37,722 --> 00:17:41,055
I don't know him too well.
- Well, I... make it two.
168
00:17:41,183 --> 00:17:42,428
No, make it three.
169
00:17:42,643 --> 00:17:44,267
Hello, Jon.
- Hi.
170
00:17:44,353 --> 00:17:47,685
Let Nancy sit between us. You and
I can Indian-wrestle under the bar.
171
00:17:47,814 --> 00:17:50,304
Rye and soda for me, and
I'll have it with music.
172
00:17:50,983 --> 00:17:55,062
Old man upstairs is roaring like a
lion. "Get me the killer" he yells.
173
00:17:55,236 --> 00:17:58,153
"Use all your best men:
Reporters, editors, feature men,
174
00:17:58,239 --> 00:18:01,358
"photographers, wire service
men, but get me the killer!"
175
00:18:01,700 --> 00:18:04,985
And the man who gets
the killer lands the job.
176
00:18:06,704 --> 00:18:11,329
Who do you bet on, Ed
- on Loving? Loving's smart, Loving's fast,
177
00:18:11,666 --> 00:18:16,825
Loving knows a lot of the right
people, but Loving doesn't get the job.
178
00:18:17,087 --> 00:18:19,756
No?
- No? I'm going to get it.
179
00:18:19,923 --> 00:18:23,967
Because I spent my youth and $30,000
on whiskey and devotion to the job,
180
00:18:24,343 --> 00:18:27,758
because I have a long-suffering
wife and two swell kids,
181
00:18:28,221 --> 00:18:31,803
and because you and I together are
going to crack this murder thing.
182
00:18:31,891 --> 00:18:35,970
Mr. Loving wants Ed on his team.
- Yeah? Well, he's not going to have him,
183
00:18:36,102 --> 00:18:38,889
because Ed's going to help me!
And let me get one thing clear -
184
00:18:39,105 --> 00:18:42,520
I don't promise you a thing
for yourself. Not a thing!
185
00:18:42,649 --> 00:18:45,318
Well, let me make myself clear, Jon.
186
00:18:45,485 --> 00:18:50,644
I don't care who gets the job. For one thing,
I've been off a crime beat for five years
187
00:18:50,822 --> 00:18:55,448
and for another, I'm not going to get
my throat torn open in any dogfight.
188
00:18:55,660 --> 00:19:00,819
Now, Ed, I've been real nice to you.
Nancy, tell Ed I've been real nice to him -
189
00:19:00,914 --> 00:19:06,536
I knew it all along... just knew I was
going to find a friendly face down here.
190
00:19:06,627 --> 00:19:08,286
Well, my face is friendly.
191
00:19:08,670 --> 00:19:12,749
Hello, you lovely people. I always
see you two together, don't I?
192
00:19:13,132 --> 00:19:14,958
You could do a column about it.
193
00:19:15,050 --> 00:19:18,964
- Oh, I'd love to, darling.
I'm all for romance.
194
00:19:25,141 --> 00:19:26,932
Have a rum on the rocks or something?
195
00:19:27,060 --> 00:19:29,431
- Well now, thank you, Jon.
That's right friendly of you.
196
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:33,387
And I do think we should all be very
friendly during these trying times.
197
00:19:33,523 --> 00:19:35,147
How is Mark?
198
00:19:36,109 --> 00:19:38,231
Oh, he's driving
home you-know-who.
199
00:19:38,569 --> 00:19:39,979
Who is
you-know-who?
200
00:19:40,195 --> 00:19:42,401
Jon, Walter
- Walter Kyne.
201
00:19:42,614 --> 00:19:46,064
I understand honest Harry
Kritzer's having dinner there.
202
00:19:46,534 --> 00:19:49,866
One afternoon at the sands
in Vegas, I was taking a swim.
203
00:19:50,203 --> 00:19:53,287
Then I looked up and saw
Dorothy sitting by the pool.
204
00:19:53,873 --> 00:19:58,083
Saw her legs first
- those beautiful, long legs.
205
00:19:58,251 --> 00:20:01,666
So I make kind of a rough and ready approach.
206
00:20:01,963 --> 00:20:04,535
I'll never forget what she answered
- two words.
207
00:20:04,756 --> 00:20:08,255
You know what she answered, Harry?
- No, I don't.
208
00:20:09,093 --> 00:20:11,880
I said "window shopping?"
209
00:20:14,598 --> 00:20:18,013
So, three nights later,
I settled for marriage!
210
00:20:18,184 --> 00:20:21,386
Excuse me, sir, Mr. Griffith
is waiting on the telephone.
211
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,678
Oh, I'll take it outside. Excuse me.
212
00:20:29,485 --> 00:20:31,441
Sit next to me, Harry.
213
00:20:33,112 --> 00:20:37,904
I don't like the walls in this room.
Look like they've got sliding panels.
214
00:20:37,991 --> 00:20:39,034
Coward.
215
00:20:40,079 --> 00:20:43,032
He's probably got microphones
behind those pictures, too.
216
00:20:43,162 --> 00:20:45,238
Well, you don't need to kiss me so loud.
217
00:20:47,332 --> 00:20:49,289
When's the next time you
can visit your mother?
218
00:20:49,417 --> 00:20:52,204
Tomorrow night... I hope.
219
00:20:53,462 --> 00:20:55,834
I don't like keeping up
this "mother" business.
220
00:20:56,006 --> 00:20:59,339
Every time I mention "mother" to
Walter, I can't keep a straight face.
221
00:20:59,550 --> 00:21:01,589
How do you think I stand
in the race, darling?
222
00:21:01,802 --> 00:21:06,961
Oh, far behind, darling, far behind.
- Well, darling, I don't think so.
223
00:21:07,098 --> 00:21:08,889
Let Griffith and Loving
beat their brains out.
224
00:21:08,974 --> 00:21:12,141
What chance have I got
- send out a cameraman? Am I a crime catcher?
225
00:21:12,436 --> 00:21:15,638
Uh-uh. I'll play it my own way...
226
00:21:15,897 --> 00:21:18,138
...as Walter's best friend.
227
00:21:18,274 --> 00:21:23,065
With... Walter's best wife?
- I don't want to involve you.
228
00:21:23,194 --> 00:21:24,937
My hero.
229
00:21:25,696 --> 00:21:28,815
You'll never guess who's
moved in here... Harry Kritzer.
230
00:21:29,199 --> 00:21:30,527
Honest Harry?
231
00:21:30,617 --> 00:21:34,067
Very mysterious.
No name on his mailbox.
232
00:21:34,245 --> 00:21:36,071
Hideaway?
233
00:21:36,205 --> 00:21:40,071
Do you suppose old Harry's got a
blonde stashed away on the side?
234
00:21:40,249 --> 00:21:43,452
If he ever sees me, he'll die.
He's right across the hall from me.
235
00:21:44,378 --> 00:21:47,793
Oh? You know, my darling,
as I was telling you -
236
00:21:47,922 --> 00:21:50,045
Between the fourth and the fifth highball...
237
00:21:50,716 --> 00:21:55,757
A most intelligent thing to do is
to find out before you get married...
238
00:21:55,845 --> 00:21:57,423
...the more the better.
239
00:21:57,513 --> 00:22:01,380
I know quite a lot about you now:
Went to school not far from here,
240
00:22:01,642 --> 00:22:05,306
played stoop ball against the
sidewalls of engine company number 18...
241
00:22:05,395 --> 00:22:08,893
I didn't mean that kind of knowledge.
- I know you didn't.
242
00:22:09,648 --> 00:22:13,396
I'm just trying to head off a disaster.
You know, you've seen these couples -
243
00:22:13,484 --> 00:22:17,351
there's a big guy, six foot seven, and
a itty bitty girl, four feet eleven.
244
00:22:17,488 --> 00:22:21,070
How do they get along? She doesn't
even know if he likes music,
245
00:22:21,157 --> 00:22:23,233
and she doesn't know if he likes books.
246
00:22:23,326 --> 00:22:25,781
Maybe they get married to find out.
247
00:22:28,955 --> 00:22:32,454
Well, I know about all I'm likely
to find out tonight. Good night.
248
00:22:53,391 --> 00:22:57,602
Good night.
- Good night. Take care of yourself.
249
00:23:04,358 --> 00:23:08,272
You know... you have very nice legs.
250
00:23:08,403 --> 00:23:11,902
Aren't you sweet?
- Nice nylon stockings, too.
251
00:23:12,031 --> 00:23:14,522
What holds your stockings up?
252
00:23:14,867 --> 00:23:17,571
There's a lot your mother
should have told you.
253
00:23:17,911 --> 00:23:21,160
I didn't ask my mother. I asked you.
254
00:23:21,831 --> 00:23:26,041
It's... simply a matter
of scientific research.
255
00:23:26,126 --> 00:23:29,957
Hadn't we said good night before
you got interested in my nylons?
256
00:23:30,296 --> 00:23:33,462
I can't remember when I wasn't interested.
257
00:23:33,965 --> 00:23:36,670
Don't you ever wait for
anything to be offered?
258
00:23:38,010 --> 00:23:40,714
OK, I'm open to an offer.
259
00:23:41,305 --> 00:23:45,171
OK... if it'll get rid of you.
260
00:23:54,565 --> 00:23:57,352
I should have a permit.
- To kiss me?
261
00:23:58,860 --> 00:24:03,153
Hmm! An explorer's permit.
- Do explorers have to have permits?
262
00:24:03,781 --> 00:24:07,363
They should have, especially when
they're headed for uncharted territory.
263
00:24:10,453 --> 00:24:14,664
Oh, forgive me, angel. I know not what I say.
264
00:24:16,124 --> 00:24:17,748
Good night, drunk.
265
00:24:30,928 --> 00:24:34,545
Oh, may I use your telephone?
- How did you get in here?
266
00:24:34,639 --> 00:24:36,880
Temper, temper.
267
00:24:43,855 --> 00:24:47,934
Kyne Enterprises. Oh, yeah, Mr. Mobley.
268
00:24:48,233 --> 00:24:50,142
Oh, get Gerald Meade for me.
269
00:24:51,736 --> 00:24:54,487
Get him out of bed
- anybody's bed.
270
00:24:54,988 --> 00:24:57,989
Mr. Mobley, you're real george.
271
00:25:01,369 --> 00:25:05,412
Gerald... that Felton
girl who was murdered -
272
00:25:05,497 --> 00:25:08,283
did she have a button lock on her door?
273
00:25:08,374 --> 00:25:12,241
Yeah. Why are you so interested?
274
00:25:12,669 --> 00:25:17,377
Oh, I'm an employee of the society
for the protection of virtuous maidens.
275
00:25:19,758 --> 00:25:22,961
You ought to get a chain lock on that door.
276
00:25:26,305 --> 00:25:28,132
Nancy's mad.
277
00:25:28,682 --> 00:25:33,142
Too mad to offer a drink?
- If you want one, fix it yourself.
278
00:25:38,356 --> 00:25:41,025
You're darn right Nancy's mad!
279
00:25:41,109 --> 00:25:44,358
- Well, that's a fine way
for my future bride to be.
280
00:25:44,486 --> 00:25:48,530
Oh, you don't want a bride. What you
want is an illiterate common law woman.
281
00:25:49,449 --> 00:25:53,196
Fix you a drink?
- No, I don't want to get drunk with you.
282
00:25:54,828 --> 00:25:56,452
Something else you'd prefer?
283
00:25:57,247 --> 00:26:00,745
That Mildred Donner is
more your type. Try her.
284
00:26:00,874 --> 00:26:06,958
Don't you sit there and tell
me who's my type. Du Verstehst?
285
00:26:11,550 --> 00:26:13,756
You're my type.
286
00:26:16,345 --> 00:26:18,800
Hey, let me tell you just a little bit more.
287
00:26:19,890 --> 00:26:24,681
Ed loves Nancy very dearly... very much...
288
00:26:25,352 --> 00:26:27,594
Ed wants to marry Nancy.
289
00:26:28,313 --> 00:26:33,021
You only say that when you've had a few.
- Want me to put it in writing?
290
00:26:37,153 --> 00:26:41,779
How convenient. The great
reporter has no pencil.
291
00:26:41,949 --> 00:26:45,816
And a darn good reporter, too.
- And a darn good man...
292
00:26:47,245 --> 00:26:52,618
...a man with great kindness... maybe
too much, because it dampens ambition.
293
00:26:53,083 --> 00:26:54,032
Ambition?
294
00:26:55,001 --> 00:26:58,784
If you mean by that, I
should join the race, uh-uh.
295
00:26:59,213 --> 00:27:02,462
You watch, Nancy. They'll all break down
- all three of them.
296
00:27:02,549 --> 00:27:04,292
Maybe one won't.
297
00:27:04,384 --> 00:27:05,415
Which one?
298
00:27:05,843 --> 00:27:10,884
The reporter... editor of The Sentinel.
But, still at heart, a reporter...
299
00:27:11,973 --> 00:27:14,463
...the one who offered
me nothing for myself -
300
00:27:14,558 --> 00:27:17,227
a good offer
- the offer of a friend.
301
00:27:17,311 --> 00:27:19,303
Then don't you think you ought to help him?
302
00:27:19,604 --> 00:27:21,395
Nobody ever helped me.
303
00:27:21,481 --> 00:27:24,896
- Now, you know that isn't true!
Amos Kyne did and Griffith would...
304
00:27:25,525 --> 00:27:30,103
...and I would. I'd do anything you asked me.
305
00:27:30,905 --> 00:27:33,360
You better stick to your
friend. He's your type.
306
00:27:35,158 --> 00:27:36,782
You're my type.
307
00:27:48,294 --> 00:27:50,784
Shall we phone my mother and father?
308
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:56,173
And ask them if you should marry
a reporter without a pencil?
309
00:27:56,258 --> 00:27:58,251
To tell them I'm going to.
310
00:28:00,470 --> 00:28:02,343
Oh, what do you know?
311
00:28:14,815 --> 00:28:19,026
Is that your boss calling? Does he usually
call at three o'clock in the morning?
312
00:28:19,152 --> 00:28:20,349
Every night.
313
00:28:20,569 --> 00:28:25,729
Hello? Yes. Just a moment.
314
00:28:25,907 --> 00:28:27,235
It's for you.
315
00:28:30,327 --> 00:28:31,027
Yes?
316
00:28:31,120 --> 00:28:35,864
- Listen, Ed, you're a real good pal
of Lieutenant Kaufman's, aren't you?
317
00:28:35,957 --> 00:28:39,076
Burt? We went to the same
school together, fought together,
318
00:28:39,209 --> 00:28:44,333
dated Janice behind the saxophones
in her father's hockshop. Why?
319
00:28:44,589 --> 00:28:48,917
They've got somebody, Ed.
"Who"? How would I know?
320
00:28:49,009 --> 00:28:50,171
Donald Duck!
321
00:28:50,593 --> 00:28:55,634
The cops won't say, but Kaufman
will meet you at headquarters.
322
00:28:56,014 --> 00:29:00,343
Congratulate me, Jon. I'm engaged.
323
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,679
What do I care, you're engaged.
324
00:29:05,814 --> 00:29:09,313
Now do me a favor, please and get over there!
325
00:29:10,026 --> 00:29:13,359
What? I already sent Meade,
326
00:29:13,487 --> 00:29:17,780
and where do you think I located
him? In Loving's apartment.
327
00:29:17,907 --> 00:29:19,531
Ed, stick with me!
328
00:29:20,326 --> 00:29:23,112
But it's morning, so it's Tuesday
- my day off!
329
00:29:23,536 --> 00:29:25,529
Are you my friend or not?
330
00:29:27,248 --> 00:29:31,327
All right. I'll handle it just
this one time, but that's all.
331
00:29:32,127 --> 00:29:34,166
All right I said all right.
332
00:29:34,837 --> 00:29:38,040
Ask me, all things
considered, it's just as well.
333
00:29:48,723 --> 00:29:50,929
Hey, what are they doing in there?
334
00:29:51,017 --> 00:29:53,803
- Maybe some photographs, maybe
they're questioning already.
335
00:30:00,858 --> 00:30:03,811
Lt. Kaufman is expecting me
- Ed Mobley.
336
00:30:06,404 --> 00:30:07,684
Hi, Gerald.
- Hiya.
337
00:30:08,489 --> 00:30:12,153
Hello, Burt.
- Where were you?
338
00:30:14,661 --> 00:30:17,744
Getting engaged.
- No fooling.
339
00:30:17,955 --> 00:30:21,039
No fooling. Poor Nancy.
340
00:30:22,167 --> 00:30:23,625
Who have they got, Burt?
341
00:30:24,001 --> 00:30:28,248
The janitor of the girl's building, but
you can't use it before general release.
342
00:30:28,380 --> 00:30:29,578
He's in questioning.
343
00:30:29,756 --> 00:30:30,954
Any chance of having a listen?
344
00:30:31,424 --> 00:30:34,674
Under the same conditions, agreed?
- Sure.
345
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,899
She was killed with your wrench.
Why do you lie to us Pilsky?
346
00:30:57,028 --> 00:30:58,356
I don't lie.
347
00:30:58,487 --> 00:31:01,903
Yes, you do. You told us that you went
348
00:31:01,990 --> 00:31:06,402
to Judith Felton's apartment
at 9 o'clock and found her dead.
349
00:31:06,619 --> 00:31:07,917
But the people at the drugstore tell us
350
00:31:07,953 --> 00:31:11,701
that a package was delivered
to Judith Felton's at 8 o'clock,
351
00:31:12,082 --> 00:31:15,201
that you opened the door and
took the package. Is that right?
352
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:22,914
Yes... I lied. I... I was frightened.
353
00:31:23,215 --> 00:31:27,378
Then you do admit that you were in
the Felton apartment at 8 o'clock?
354
00:31:27,469 --> 00:31:29,757
Y... Y... yes. But I don't kill!
355
00:31:30,304 --> 00:31:32,593
I leave her when she take bath.
356
00:31:32,681 --> 00:31:35,635
When I come back, I find her dead.
357
00:31:40,855 --> 00:31:43,427
If you went away and came back, George,
358
00:31:43,523 --> 00:31:46,096
how did you get in to her apartment?
359
00:31:46,192 --> 00:31:47,520
I use pass key.
360
00:31:47,777 --> 00:31:49,568
The door was locked then, huh?
- Yes.
361
00:31:50,404 --> 00:31:53,606
Did anyone else in the
building have a pass key?
362
00:31:53,990 --> 00:31:54,654
No.
363
00:31:54,866 --> 00:31:59,194
Are you trying to tell us that
somebody walked through a locked door
364
00:31:59,286 --> 00:32:00,780
and killed Miss Felton?
365
00:32:02,122 --> 00:32:07,079
I tell truth. I don't
kill her. I find her dead.
366
00:32:09,919 --> 00:32:13,868
All right, Pilsky. We're gonna
start all over from the beginning...
367
00:32:14,757 --> 00:32:18,706
Hmm! Sun's coming up.
- Not for that old boy.
368
00:32:19,302 --> 00:32:21,045
He didn't do it. You know he didn't.
369
00:32:21,220 --> 00:32:25,928
Four days and no results. Somebody had
to be hauled in for the howling public
370
00:32:26,016 --> 00:32:27,130
for the crime commission.
371
00:32:28,393 --> 00:32:30,598
But you'll let him go before the day's over.
372
00:32:31,645 --> 00:32:33,388
What makes you so sure?
373
00:32:35,065 --> 00:32:38,314
The evidence against him
is just too pat to be true.
374
00:32:39,443 --> 00:32:43,143
Use your phone?
- Not for publication.
375
00:32:57,249 --> 00:33:02,040
Hello? Ed? Yeah.
376
00:33:02,545 --> 00:33:06,494
The janitor. If that old boy did
it, I'll sit on the hot seat for him.
377
00:33:08,049 --> 00:33:11,252
Keep Meade on it. I'm gonna
go home and get some sleep.
378
00:33:27,315 --> 00:33:30,268
Your pin-ups?
- Yeah.
379
00:33:30,817 --> 00:33:34,649
All very murdered. I was just
looking for possible points
380
00:33:34,737 --> 00:33:36,813
of comparison with this Felton case.
381
00:33:37,239 --> 00:33:40,690
Look for a young guy, Burt.
- Now you're guessing.
382
00:33:42,327 --> 00:33:45,909
Pre-meditated murder by a
psycho, and not his first.
383
00:33:46,121 --> 00:33:47,663
He didn't leave any fingerprints.
384
00:33:47,789 --> 00:33:51,656
So he wore gloves. Anyone who
leaves fingerprints nowadays,
385
00:33:51,751 --> 00:33:53,992
even on his first homicide, can't even read!
386
00:33:54,128 --> 00:33:56,797
You know how much stuff
is written and published
387
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,086
for the instruction of potential lawbreakers?
388
00:33:59,173 --> 00:34:01,213
Take the so-called comic books.
389
00:34:01,300 --> 00:34:03,838
Sold to kids of all
ages, in drugstores and -
390
00:34:08,056 --> 00:34:10,012
Why do you say this killer is young?
391
00:34:10,141 --> 00:34:11,089
The lipstick bit.
392
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,888
There's nothing new about
that. Several years ago -
393
00:34:13,977 --> 00:34:15,601
I know, I know.
394
00:34:15,728 --> 00:34:19,393
What was it? "Catch me,
I can't control myself"?
395
00:34:19,481 --> 00:34:22,054
This one only changed
the lyrics, "Ask mother. "
396
00:34:22,567 --> 00:34:24,394
He's a mama's boy unless I'm mistaken.
397
00:34:24,569 --> 00:34:26,608
Well the message may have been a blind.
398
00:34:27,655 --> 00:34:29,318
I think it's an impertinence.
399
00:34:29,423 --> 00:34:34,569
He's laughing at the police
by leaving clues but no fingerprints.
400
00:34:34,744 --> 00:34:35,906
Keep on talking.
401
00:34:35,995 --> 00:34:38,532
In the old days, before you
were above writing about crime,
402
00:34:38,622 --> 00:34:40,246
you and I used to be pretty good together.
403
00:34:41,958 --> 00:34:44,875
What do you think of the
dresser drawers found open?
404
00:34:45,502 --> 00:34:48,040
We searched the janitor's
room. We didn't find anything.
405
00:34:48,171 --> 00:34:50,080
Of course, we don't know
that anything was stolen.
406
00:34:53,759 --> 00:34:55,418
Kaufman.
407
00:34:56,344 --> 00:34:57,459
Homicide.
408
00:34:58,179 --> 00:35:03,434
Details?
Female... White... 21...
409
00:35:04,330 --> 00:35:09,933
Unmarried...
Schoolteacher... Strangled...
410
00:35:10,063 --> 00:35:11,439
...3 o'clock this morning.
411
00:35:11,565 --> 00:35:14,185
He entered through the bedroom window.
- Oh.
412
00:35:14,275 --> 00:35:15,983
Do we have any lipstick?
- Lipstick?
413
00:35:16,110 --> 00:35:19,027
This joker's much too clever ever
to leave lipstick again, Burt.
414
00:35:24,075 --> 00:35:27,941
She got her hands in his hair. We took a
couple strands from underneath her fingernails.
415
00:35:28,078 --> 00:35:28,991
That's good.
416
00:35:34,083 --> 00:35:37,166
Anything?
- No. He must have used gloves.
417
00:35:47,218 --> 00:35:50,218
He left the book here
deliberately, to laugh at you, Burt.
418
00:35:50,304 --> 00:35:52,629
And every time, he'll leave a different clue.
419
00:35:56,601 --> 00:36:00,016
Look, Sergeant, I've been here
over nine hours and all I've got
420
00:36:00,103 --> 00:36:04,350
is what every other reporter in town has,
a general release on the Felton murder.
421
00:36:07,067 --> 00:36:10,732
Tim, you and I have been
friends for a long time.
422
00:36:12,488 --> 00:36:15,738
I need something special,
something for myself.
423
00:36:16,575 --> 00:36:19,362
Is this case any good against Pilsky?
424
00:36:20,245 --> 00:36:24,028
Pretty good.
- Be specific, Tim. I won't forget you.
425
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:26,320
Well...
426
00:36:29,168 --> 00:36:31,920
If I was to tell you
why we picked Pilsky up -
427
00:36:32,004 --> 00:36:33,202
Yeah, why, why?
428
00:36:35,048 --> 00:36:38,084
You... you wouldn't say
where you got it, promise?
429
00:36:38,342 --> 00:36:39,006
Promise.
430
00:36:39,427 --> 00:36:42,961
Well, Pilsky's fingerprints
are on the murder weapon.
431
00:36:43,346 --> 00:36:46,762
Oh, thanks, Tim. You won't regret it.
432
00:36:47,892 --> 00:36:53,051
Wait. Wait till I'm out of the office.
433
00:37:07,824 --> 00:37:09,484
Mark Loving, sister, quick.
434
00:37:13,829 --> 00:37:18,289
Mark? I've got the inside
dope on the Felton case.
435
00:37:18,416 --> 00:37:24,536
What? Great work, Gerald!
That's great. Hold the line.
436
00:37:28,216 --> 00:37:32,082
Phone in to Walter Kyne that
I've cracked the Lipstick Case.
437
00:37:34,637 --> 00:37:38,006
Joe, Gerald Meade's on my line, take it.
438
00:37:40,100 --> 00:37:41,808
Give me the call on Mr. Loving's line.
439
00:37:47,898 --> 00:37:52,061
Don't give it to the copy desk
- feed it directly to the wire.
440
00:37:55,404 --> 00:37:56,566
Tom!
441
00:38:01,242 --> 00:38:03,281
Good morning.
- 'Morning, Mark.
442
00:38:04,328 --> 00:38:05,786
Want to make a bet?
443
00:38:05,912 --> 00:38:06,742
On what?
444
00:38:07,163 --> 00:38:09,488
On me.
445
00:38:09,790 --> 00:38:11,035
Hold it, Jim.
446
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:15,241
Cal, who sent it?
- Washington.
447
00:38:15,337 --> 00:38:16,878
Break them. Give this four bells.
448
00:38:19,256 --> 00:38:22,956
Mark. Can I believe this?
You cracked the lipstick case?
449
00:38:23,051 --> 00:38:24,759
I certainly did!
450
00:38:40,982 --> 00:38:44,066
We've got a scoop on the
biggest story in the country.
451
00:38:44,151 --> 00:38:46,393
Did this go over the wire?
- For God's sake!
452
00:38:46,570 --> 00:38:47,898
Oh, I'll be...
453
00:38:49,072 --> 00:38:50,898
Mark's killing it.
454
00:38:50,990 --> 00:38:53,563
Killing it? What's the matter with him?
455
00:39:01,540 --> 00:39:02,571
That idiot Meade.
456
00:39:03,792 --> 00:39:06,164
What's the matter with you?
Wasn't he quoting a cop?
457
00:39:06,252 --> 00:39:08,494
Nothing a cop says outside
a courtroom is privileged.
458
00:39:08,838 --> 00:39:10,082
What do you mean by that?
459
00:39:10,297 --> 00:39:13,500
Anything you repeat, no matter from what
source, if it doesn't sit under oath,
460
00:39:13,633 --> 00:39:14,712
you'd better stand on it yourself.
461
00:39:14,884 --> 00:39:16,129
What do you mean?
462
00:39:16,219 --> 00:39:19,421
He means if the old man
didn't kill her, it's libel.
463
00:39:20,597 --> 00:39:21,462
Libel!
464
00:39:23,141 --> 00:39:27,220
You could be sued. Any newspaper that
uses your wire service could be sued.
465
00:39:27,436 --> 00:39:29,761
Well, what kind of a wire
service are you running, anyway?
466
00:39:29,854 --> 00:39:31,183
I killed it, didn't I?
467
00:39:32,190 --> 00:39:34,763
You two don't have to
quote me the law of libel!
468
00:39:34,900 --> 00:39:36,098
Of course not, Walter.
469
00:40:06,842 --> 00:40:12,002
You missed something, Ed.
Meade almost scuttled Loving.
470
00:40:12,388 --> 00:40:16,006
Look... Read that copy, Jon.
471
00:40:24,064 --> 00:40:27,349
Sensational. Can you substantiate?
472
00:40:27,484 --> 00:40:33,272
Nope. May be a pipe dream. But if it
is, Kaufman and I are smoking together.
473
00:40:33,447 --> 00:40:36,566
In any case, I'm going on the
air with it in five minutes.
474
00:40:36,950 --> 00:40:41,243
Hold it for the paper, Ed. Let me
hit the street with it by seven.
475
00:40:41,537 --> 00:40:43,114
Use it in your night show.
476
00:40:45,248 --> 00:40:46,825
Is that what you want?
477
00:40:47,375 --> 00:40:50,216
I want to get the job, that's the idea.
478
00:40:50,252 --> 00:40:53,952
And to get the job, I'll stick
a knife in anybody I have to.
479
00:40:54,339 --> 00:41:00,589
Oh, I know, I know! If I had any ethics
left, I'd give it to Loving for his wire.
480
00:41:05,723 --> 00:41:09,471
OK, OK. I'll take it to him myself.
481
00:41:17,107 --> 00:41:21,186
Don't call yourself my
boy, Meade! You're through!
482
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:23,187
Meade, you're through.
483
00:41:23,737 --> 00:41:27,105
When you killed that bulletin, you
promised your clients a new lead.
484
00:41:27,407 --> 00:41:28,901
I think that will do it.
485
00:41:30,576 --> 00:41:34,620
Great scot!
- You got one minute lead on Mobley's telecast.
486
00:41:37,790 --> 00:41:42,949
That boyfriend of yours who set out to help
me, just put your boss a mile out in front.
487
00:41:52,552 --> 00:41:56,964
Mr. Walter Kyne presents the
distinguished author, columnist,
488
00:41:57,097 --> 00:42:00,300
and Pulitzer prize winner Edward Mobley...
489
00:42:00,433 --> 00:42:03,387
...in his perceptive
analysis of the day's news...
490
00:42:03,519 --> 00:42:05,187
It's already on the wire. Wait till you hear.
491
00:42:05,223 --> 00:42:06,527
Ladies and gentlemen,
492
00:42:06,563 --> 00:42:10,149
at approximately 3 a. m.
This morning, in our city,
493
00:42:10,186 --> 00:42:12,770
one human being took the life of another.
494
00:42:12,901 --> 00:42:16,733
In our world, acts of violence are not rare
495
00:42:16,905 --> 00:42:19,573
and so my excuse, or I should say, my reason
496
00:42:19,699 --> 00:42:22,023
for giving importance
to this particular story,
497
00:42:22,117 --> 00:42:25,367
is my hope that the killer
may be listening to me.
498
00:42:25,453 --> 00:42:31,621
For I believe that in his progress
to the chair, or to the insane asylum,
499
00:42:31,750 --> 00:42:36,790
that he has reached a way station,
where his sick and warped ego
500
00:42:36,921 --> 00:42:40,668
demands to be fed with the milk of self
- importance.
501
00:42:41,257 --> 00:42:45,469
And so, with the consent of
a very good friend of mine,
502
00:42:45,506 --> 00:42:47,757
who is by way of being a
remarkable criminologist,
503
00:42:47,846 --> 00:42:50,467
but who has also asked that
his name not be credited,
504
00:42:50,557 --> 00:42:54,719
I'm going to say a few things
to the killer, face to face.
505
00:42:54,852 --> 00:43:00,437
Item one: Mr. Unknown, you will
not for very long remain unknown.
506
00:43:02,107 --> 00:43:04,907
Item two: You're husky.
507
00:43:04,943 --> 00:43:08,872
Strong enough to have choked
to death this morning
508
00:43:08,976 --> 00:43:12,521
a poor school teacher
by the name of Laura Kelly.
509
00:43:12,720 --> 00:43:13,763
Item three:
510
00:43:14,930 --> 00:43:21,246
You are the same killer who,
last week, bludgeoned to death
511
00:43:21,331 --> 00:43:27,700
a girl by the name of Judith Felton.
You are the Lipstick Killer.
512
00:43:27,836 --> 00:43:31,785
Item four: You read the
so-called comic books.
513
00:43:31,923 --> 00:43:37,794
Item five: You have dark brown hair.
A few strands of your hair were found
514
00:43:37,886 --> 00:43:40,341
beneath the fingernails
of your latest victim.
515
00:43:40,430 --> 00:43:45,304
Item six: You're young. A crime
lab examination of your hair reveals
516
00:43:45,392 --> 00:43:49,010
that you're approximately
twenty years of age.
517
00:43:49,187 --> 00:43:53,314
Item seven: You're a mama's boy.
518
00:43:53,774 --> 00:43:58,814
Item eight: The normal feeling of love
that you should have toward your mother
519
00:43:58,903 --> 00:44:03,480
has been twisted into hatred, for her -
520
00:44:03,573 --> 00:44:04,818
And all of her sex.
521
00:44:05,825 --> 00:44:06,738
Item nine...
522
00:44:08,119 --> 00:44:09,862
May I come in, dear?
523
00:44:13,915 --> 00:44:16,951
I heard the television,
so I knew you were up.
524
00:44:17,084 --> 00:44:21,033
It must have been about four o'clock
when I heard you come in this morning.
525
00:44:21,171 --> 00:44:26,295
I don't like working so late. - Oh,
I know. I know how it is with my boy -
526
00:44:26,383 --> 00:44:32,255
studying all day, working all night, and
I know how difficult it has been for you
527
00:44:32,388 --> 00:44:35,591
ever since your father left us.
528
00:44:35,682 --> 00:44:37,306
He's not my father!
529
00:44:37,392 --> 00:44:39,929
And you're not my mother.
530
00:44:40,019 --> 00:44:44,063
Robert, don't say that.
- Why not? It's true, isn't it?
531
00:44:44,189 --> 00:44:46,893
When you adopted me, you
wanted a girl, didn't you?
532
00:44:47,025 --> 00:44:48,990
And he wanted a boy!
533
00:44:49,026 --> 00:44:50,769
Well neither one of you
was satisfied, were you?
534
00:44:50,861 --> 00:44:55,522
I remember once when I was eight
years old... eight years old...
535
00:44:55,615 --> 00:44:57,654
...I was helping you dust the house...
536
00:44:57,783 --> 00:45:01,282
...and that woman from across
the street came over and said,
537
00:45:01,369 --> 00:45:05,449
"My, my. " And you said, "Yes, I know...
538
00:45:05,539 --> 00:45:07,828
"... he's exactly like
a little girl, isn't he?"
539
00:45:08,417 --> 00:45:10,290
But, Robert, you are my son
540
00:45:11,002 --> 00:45:12,544
and my daughter
541
00:45:12,754 --> 00:45:15,422
and all the children I ever
wished I could have had.
542
00:45:16,465 --> 00:45:18,753
Don't you love your mother?
543
00:45:25,305 --> 00:45:29,005
Shall I show you how much I love my mother?
544
00:45:33,645 --> 00:45:38,520
Oh I have such a good boy!
Now I'll bring your breakfast.
545
00:45:38,649 --> 00:45:40,476
You must be awfully hungry.
546
00:45:49,783 --> 00:45:54,610
And so, with this most happy
news about my personal life,
547
00:45:54,704 --> 00:45:58,831
I close until I visit with
you again at eleven tonight.
548
00:45:59,291 --> 00:46:01,082
In the meantime,
549
00:46:01,167 --> 00:46:04,582
for any further developments in
the case of the Lipstick Killer,
550
00:46:04,670 --> 00:46:10,423
read The Sentinel, which hits your newsstands
with its first edition at seven this evening.
551
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:13,125
Did he really get Nancy's OK on this thing?
552
00:46:14,928 --> 00:46:18,510
He must have. Here, he's bringing her.
553
00:46:18,931 --> 00:46:20,758
Hi.
- Burt, it's good to see you.
554
00:46:21,016 --> 00:46:23,009
Hello, Burt, Nancy, Jon.
555
00:46:23,143 --> 00:46:24,650
Tonight, we celebrate.
556
00:46:24,686 --> 00:46:26,513
Thanks, Jon. It's worth getting engaged.
557
00:46:26,938 --> 00:46:29,808
That was a pretty flossy
telecast your boy did.
558
00:46:29,940 --> 00:46:32,016
Now we've got to get ready for the next step.
559
00:46:32,109 --> 00:46:34,564
What do you mean? Haven't you
talked this over with Nancy?
560
00:46:34,652 --> 00:46:36,609
Well the next step is to the Altar.
561
00:46:36,862 --> 00:46:38,938
I'm talking it over with her now.
562
00:46:39,448 --> 00:46:44,174
Nancy, you got the idea of my telecast,
to insult the killer.
563
00:46:44,464 --> 00:46:45,507
Yes.
564
00:46:46,579 --> 00:46:50,362
He'll get mad at me and anybody I like.
565
00:46:50,540 --> 00:46:56,411
And if I know his maniacal mind, sooner
or later, he'll come out after the bait.
566
00:46:57,004 --> 00:46:58,118
Well...
567
00:47:02,341 --> 00:47:03,853
What bait?
568
00:47:05,890 --> 00:47:10,252
Ha! Some nice girl,
like the other two.
569
00:47:11,223 --> 00:47:12,468
Who?
570
00:47:13,975 --> 00:47:18,471
Ha Ha! A nice girl with
a button lock on her door.
571
00:47:23,233 --> 00:47:26,233
You mean someone named Nancy?
572
00:47:27,486 --> 00:47:31,317
Nancy, you see that man in the
dark suit sitting over at the bar?
573
00:47:32,157 --> 00:47:34,528
His name is Mike O'Leary.
574
00:47:34,617 --> 00:47:38,863
He's a plain clothes man
from Burt's department.
575
00:47:39,037 --> 00:47:43,081
From now on, he'll be your shadow.
He'll take you to the Red Cross tonight,
576
00:47:43,165 --> 00:47:47,209
and then home to your room, and
make sure the door is locked.
577
00:47:47,335 --> 00:47:52,542
Mornings, you won't leave until he's
there to go with you, wherever you go
578
00:47:52,631 --> 00:47:55,418
you'll be safer than you've
ever been in your life before.
579
00:47:57,093 --> 00:48:00,094
That's the kind of guy you're going to marry.
580
00:48:00,262 --> 00:48:03,014
I like the kind of guy I'm going to marry.
581
00:48:03,223 --> 00:48:06,556
I told him last night I'd do anything
for him. I won't let him down.
582
00:48:07,268 --> 00:48:11,182
All right, darling, I'll do
it. Let's keep it in the family.
583
00:48:11,688 --> 00:48:16,645
I was pretty sure you'd say yes, but
it's a good thing you did say yes,
584
00:48:16,776 --> 00:48:21,104
because the announcement of our
engagement is already in the paper.
585
00:48:38,293 --> 00:48:40,748
What do you know? Nancy engaged to Ed Mobley.
586
00:48:40,837 --> 00:48:43,872
That nice little secretary of yours, darling.
587
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:49,216
I wonder what she's got.
- Well, apparently she's got Mobley.
588
00:48:49,302 --> 00:48:52,966
No, I mean to attract a man.
- Oh, forget them love. I'm worried.
589
00:48:53,221 --> 00:48:55,759
About the job?
- What else?
590
00:48:56,724 --> 00:49:00,804
Kyne worries me. He was humiliated
today in front of everyone
591
00:49:00,894 --> 00:49:01,925
and it's my fault.
592
00:49:02,020 --> 00:49:04,689
You made up for it with the scoop
on Mobley on his own telecast.
593
00:49:04,772 --> 00:49:08,900
Let me tell you the facts of life.
That break was an accident of timing.
594
00:49:09,193 --> 00:49:13,937
If only I had Mobley in my
corner. He knows the right people.
595
00:49:14,030 --> 00:49:15,358
Don't you?
- Oh, sure.
596
00:49:15,781 --> 00:49:19,196
I know the head waiter of the
Stork, and the Colonnier, and "21",
597
00:49:19,284 --> 00:49:21,572
and I know the fellow at the dog
show, and the fellow at the dog show
598
00:49:21,661 --> 00:49:23,902
knows the fellow at the horse show,
and the fellow at the horse show
599
00:49:23,996 --> 00:49:26,451
knows the people at the Waldorf, and
the people at the Waldorf know me,
600
00:49:26,623 --> 00:49:28,662
but Mobley knows the right cops.
601
00:49:28,750 --> 00:49:31,038
Well, Mark, talk to him.
602
00:49:32,169 --> 00:49:36,380
It might do a great deal of harm
if he rats about it to Griffith.
603
00:49:40,176 --> 00:49:43,674
Dear heart. You want me to
have this job, don't you?
604
00:49:43,762 --> 00:49:45,635
You don't have to ask that.
605
00:49:46,556 --> 00:49:48,050
Then go to Mobley for me.
606
00:49:49,099 --> 00:49:50,130
What?
607
00:49:50,225 --> 00:49:52,716
You. You know him much better than I do.
608
00:49:53,186 --> 00:49:56,436
You could tell him about
me. He'd listen to you.
609
00:49:57,565 --> 00:49:59,106
I've seen him look at you.
610
00:49:59,274 --> 00:50:01,432
You've seen him look at me, huh?
611
00:50:01,693 --> 00:50:05,441
Those eyes of his. Have
you ever noticed those eyes?
612
00:50:05,821 --> 00:50:09,236
Oh, yes. Yes, I've noticed them.
613
00:50:11,034 --> 00:50:15,113
Might be fun.
- That's my baby.
614
00:50:16,246 --> 00:50:21,203
Well, all right, I know what to say, but
how far do I have to go to get it said?
615
00:50:21,334 --> 00:50:25,959
Mildred, we're adults. I
love you very completely.
616
00:50:26,046 --> 00:50:30,090
Anything you might do for me will
make me love you all the more.
617
00:50:30,174 --> 00:50:33,127
Thank you. And I love you too, Mark.
618
00:50:42,559 --> 00:50:45,761
And I certainly hope that you and
Miss Liggett will be very happy.
619
00:50:46,312 --> 00:50:51,554
I thank you, Carlo. What day is this?
620
00:50:51,858 --> 00:50:56,566
- Still Tuesday. Ha! My day
off. The rest is killing me.
621
00:50:56,862 --> 00:51:00,028
Nancy's night at the Red Cross.
I could sure use some first aid.
622
00:51:07,787 --> 00:51:10,242
Hello. Hello, hello.
623
00:51:12,833 --> 00:51:15,240
Want to buy me a drink?
- Carlo.
624
00:51:15,377 --> 00:51:18,128
Yes, sir.
- Champagne cocktail, brandy float.
625
00:51:18,254 --> 00:51:19,036
Yes, ma'am.
626
00:51:19,422 --> 00:51:21,829
Going someplace?
- No.
627
00:51:22,216 --> 00:51:24,706
Well, you're all dressed up?
- Like it?
628
00:51:25,176 --> 00:51:27,501
Very much.
- Well, thank you.
629
00:51:27,845 --> 00:51:31,598
Now I don't think I'm going anywhere
now that I've found you down here.
630
00:51:31,635 --> 00:51:32,760
Oh, well!
631
00:51:32,974 --> 00:51:36,093
Sometimes I'm in a mood
where I love to speak my mind.
632
00:51:36,185 --> 00:51:39,102
Tonight's one of those times. All right?
633
00:51:39,438 --> 00:51:42,391
Sure, it's all right. I
think it's spectacular.
634
00:51:42,482 --> 00:51:46,810
Well, you're a pretty spectacular
guy. Believe me, I've known a couple.
635
00:51:46,944 --> 00:51:48,568
Skol.
636
00:51:52,448 --> 00:51:54,773
Where's your gentlemen friend?
637
00:51:54,908 --> 00:51:56,901
Where's your lady friend?
638
00:51:57,619 --> 00:51:59,161
Cigarette?
639
00:52:25,808 --> 00:52:27,468
Pretty?
640
00:52:27,559 --> 00:52:29,101
Mmmmm.
641
00:52:30,770 --> 00:52:32,644
Would I like?
642
00:52:33,940 --> 00:52:36,608
Ahh... you can see it all later!
643
00:52:37,401 --> 00:52:40,318
Oh, come on.
- No, no, no, I said later.
644
00:52:54,748 --> 00:52:57,285
Ahh... I said later.
645
00:52:58,000 --> 00:52:59,708
Another drink, please.
- Yes ma'am.
646
00:53:00,544 --> 00:53:02,453
One for Mr. Mobley, too.
647
00:53:04,214 --> 00:53:08,163
You know, Mark was terribly
upset by that libel business.
648
00:53:08,551 --> 00:53:11,670
Don't worry, Mildred,
your man may get in yet.
649
00:53:12,304 --> 00:53:14,675
Darling, I wish you wouldn't
keep calling him 'my man'.
650
00:53:14,764 --> 00:53:16,886
Well he's certainly not mine!
651
00:53:17,683 --> 00:53:22,889
Why don't you come clean and
confess. He sent you here.
652
00:53:22,979 --> 00:53:26,145
All right. He sent me. But I hope
it isn't going to spoil things
653
00:53:26,231 --> 00:53:27,476
'cause I wanted to come.
654
00:53:28,150 --> 00:53:32,099
Quite a messenger.
- Oh you men, you're all polygamists.
655
00:53:32,361 --> 00:53:35,030
You too, Mobley.
- Faithful as the day is long.
656
00:53:35,239 --> 00:53:39,152
Mmm, if it's the shortest day of the
year. But where would women like me be
657
00:53:39,242 --> 00:53:40,700
if it wasn't for men like you.
658
00:53:42,036 --> 00:53:46,412
And if I take another drink
tonight, I'll fall flat on my face.
659
00:53:52,794 --> 00:53:55,913
Where's Mrs. Kyne?
- She had to go to her mother's, Sir.
660
00:53:56,255 --> 00:53:57,002
Again?
661
00:53:58,966 --> 00:54:04,552
Well, anyway... tonight I wouldn't
trade places with anyone.
662
00:54:04,971 --> 00:54:10,426
Look at that... a doll of a front page.
Best front page in the city.
663
00:54:11,351 --> 00:54:13,308
That's very nice, Sir.
664
00:54:15,521 --> 00:54:21,273
But I need a right hand man.
Today I made an ass of myself.
665
00:54:22,443 --> 00:54:24,815
Who shall it be?
666
00:54:27,447 --> 00:54:35,868
Loving... or Griffith... Kritzer?
667
00:54:38,623 --> 00:54:44,576
Mr. Loving: A conniver. Well,
every business needs a conniver.
668
00:54:45,003 --> 00:54:49,165
That Griffith: A doll of a front page.
669
00:54:49,965 --> 00:54:51,957
Harry Kritzer?
670
00:54:55,261 --> 00:55:02,258
But which is your best,
Walter? Your b-e-s-t?
671
00:55:06,937 --> 00:55:08,976
Mr. Walter Kyne's residence.
672
00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:13,433
It's Mrs. Kyne, sir.
673
00:55:14,359 --> 00:55:15,604
Hello.
674
00:55:16,361 --> 00:55:21,864
Hello, darling. I'm still at mother's.
675
00:55:27,328 --> 00:55:29,155
Oh, what's the matter, Walter?
676
00:55:29,371 --> 00:55:33,203
Every once in a while I'd like to come
home and find you here, that's all.
677
00:55:34,459 --> 00:55:36,866
I thought you're mother
didn't have a telephone.
678
00:55:37,169 --> 00:55:39,660
I came down to the drugstore especially.
679
00:55:44,300 --> 00:55:47,834
I bought a copy of the final
edition. It's wonderful!
680
00:55:47,970 --> 00:55:50,377
I thought Harry's artwork was marvelous!
681
00:55:50,513 --> 00:55:54,213
All right, all right, I like it.
Now, how soon can you get here?
682
00:55:55,851 --> 00:55:58,887
Then I'll have Steven meet
you at the door in his BVD.
683
00:56:00,563 --> 00:56:03,516
Okay, me then!
684
00:56:07,235 --> 00:56:12,738
Well! He swallowed it. The question
is, even for Walter, how long will he?
685
00:56:12,906 --> 00:56:15,064
Long enough, let's hope.
686
00:56:15,158 --> 00:56:17,281
How long is long enough?
687
00:56:17,410 --> 00:56:19,735
Long enough for me to get the job. What else?
688
00:56:20,287 --> 00:56:25,446
For me to get you the job. That's
what you mean, isn't it, darling?
689
00:56:26,417 --> 00:56:29,832
However you want to put it, let's not fail.
690
00:56:34,882 --> 00:56:37,836
And then?
- And then?
691
00:56:39,302 --> 00:56:41,840
What are you in this for, Harry?
692
00:56:41,971 --> 00:56:46,549
Is getting the big job like the
satisfaction of having the big man's wife?
693
00:56:46,642 --> 00:56:48,515
What's gotten in to you?
694
00:56:50,603 --> 00:56:53,520
And what am I in it for?
695
00:56:54,148 --> 00:56:58,524
If you're just a pastime,
sweet, you're a very risky one.
696
00:57:02,696 --> 00:57:06,907
With all I have, what is it I want?
697
00:57:11,495 --> 00:57:15,907
Only the pleasure of paying
back the man who bought me
698
00:57:16,332 --> 00:57:19,831
by giving his most prized
possession to someone else?
699
00:57:20,210 --> 00:57:22,167
What are you driving at, Dorothy?
700
00:57:23,379 --> 00:57:29,251
Just this. If I make my
husband give you the big prize,
701
00:57:29,467 --> 00:57:33,002
you won't be Walter's man, you'll be mine
702
00:57:33,137 --> 00:57:39,803
and you'll do as I say,
and you won't forget that. Ever.
703
00:57:41,102 --> 00:57:46,178
OK, kitten, if you want to imagine
yourself as Lady Macbeth or someone -
704
00:57:46,356 --> 00:57:48,434
You just think about that, darling,
705
00:57:50,746 --> 00:57:55,393
because I can always
still change my mind.
706
00:58:00,993 --> 00:58:06,662
OK, kitten, we'll think...
707
00:58:09,958 --> 00:58:11,417
...and think...
708
00:58:15,337 --> 00:58:17,709
...and think.
709
00:58:22,260 --> 00:58:24,964
I told him I'd come right home.
- Uh uh.
710
00:58:25,137 --> 00:58:28,719
Don't you want me to do
my utmost in your behalf?
711
00:58:33,394 --> 00:58:37,141
Oh, it's probably the drugstore.
That was the last bottle of scotch.
712
00:58:47,780 --> 00:58:49,060
The drugstore!
713
00:58:51,533 --> 00:58:53,075
One moment please.
714
00:59:17,721 --> 00:59:18,752
Keep the change.
715
01:02:08,023 --> 01:02:12,270
Carlo... Carlo... we are
discussing romance, you know.
716
01:02:12,569 --> 01:02:16,269
Of course, I gather we are at the stage
of discussing it in rather general terms.
717
01:02:16,363 --> 01:02:17,359
Well it's something to think about.
718
01:02:18,323 --> 01:02:23,198
You see, Carlo, there is
also a physical side to love
719
01:02:23,578 --> 01:02:26,613
and some women are more
demanding than others...
720
01:02:27,956 --> 01:02:30,447
and some automobiles are blue.
721
01:02:31,084 --> 01:02:35,875
Oh, darling, look. Of course
I want Mark to prosper.
722
01:02:35,962 --> 01:02:38,453
I want him to be happy,
I want him to get the job
723
01:02:38,548 --> 01:02:43,754
but if you should ask me if it's love,
I'd simply have to say I just don't know.
724
01:02:43,969 --> 01:02:48,879
So, when do you expect to find out?
- Maybe an hour or so.
725
01:02:49,056 --> 01:02:52,341
Carlo's going to have a busy night!
- Just Carlo?
726
01:02:53,768 --> 01:02:59,971
Oh, Ed, look, am I attractive to you?
- I'm in no condition...
727
01:03:00,357 --> 01:03:06,809
...but, objectively speaking,
I would say yes... very.
728
01:03:08,363 --> 01:03:09,774
Come on to my place.
729
01:03:09,948 --> 01:03:17,657
I would also say that I am a poisonous,
black-souled, weak-kneed so-and-so.
730
01:03:18,205 --> 01:03:22,201
So, all right. Your cigarettes.
- Thank you.
731
01:03:31,215 --> 01:03:34,215
Oh, I'm sorry, very sorry.
732
01:03:41,473 --> 01:03:46,846
That's the famous Ed Mobley, isn't it?
- Well he's something less than famous tonight.
733
01:03:47,478 --> 01:03:50,681
The woman he's with
- they're engaged?
734
01:03:51,314 --> 01:03:54,268
What's her name? Liggett or something?
- No that's somebody quite different.
735
01:03:57,569 --> 01:04:00,689
Oh, I hate kissing in taxis.
- You do?
736
01:04:00,905 --> 01:04:05,946
It's much more fun at home.
- Didn't realize you graded things like that.
737
01:04:06,076 --> 01:04:07,274
Sure you do.
738
01:04:08,328 --> 01:04:13,701
Your hands are cold.
- Madame, I'm blasted.
739
01:04:15,125 --> 01:04:18,873
The movement of this cab
is slightly inimical to me.
740
01:04:19,462 --> 01:04:23,874
The fact that I can say inimical
proves just how drunk I am.
741
01:04:24,549 --> 01:04:28,712
Oh, darling, I'm not just
doing this for Mark, believe me.
742
01:04:29,929 --> 01:04:37,057
And not out of any sense of honesty or
principle or faithfulness to the bride-to-be.
743
01:04:37,184 --> 01:04:38,559
I have to tell you this:
744
01:04:39,686 --> 01:04:44,478
I didn't get any sleep last night
and darn little the night before,
745
01:04:44,607 --> 01:04:48,390
on top of everything else,
I'm getting sick.
746
01:04:49,135 --> 01:04:53,562
I'm human
and human beings get sick.
747
01:04:53,656 --> 01:04:59,491
Oh. I'll make you some coffee when
we get home. I make marvelous coffee.
748
01:05:01,996 --> 01:05:04,913
I wonder what the nice
people are doing tonight.
749
01:05:28,142 --> 01:05:32,139
Did Mildred tell you, too?
- Mildred's told everybody.
750
01:06:03,003 --> 01:06:05,410
You ought to feel pretty good today.
751
01:06:07,715 --> 01:06:10,502
Your telecast was picked up by
nearly every paper in the country.
752
01:06:11,301 --> 01:06:15,512
Of course, if this whole idea of
provoking the killer doesn't pan out,
753
01:06:15,763 --> 01:06:17,672
you and I are going to be way out on a limb.
754
01:06:18,265 --> 01:06:20,257
My limb got sawed off.
755
01:06:22,352 --> 01:06:28,223
How is Mildred?
- Everybody knows my business.
756
01:06:28,648 --> 01:06:30,771
Nancy too?
757
01:06:30,859 --> 01:06:33,183
I called her in the middle of the night.
758
01:06:33,402 --> 01:06:37,067
You wanted her to be the first to know?
- I wanted her to hear it from me.
759
01:06:37,155 --> 01:06:39,194
Everybody around here
has heard it from Mildred.
760
01:06:40,366 --> 01:06:41,409
Oh?
761
01:06:41,617 --> 01:06:46,450
She says she now she knows you won
the Pulitzer Prize for writing.
762
01:06:46,746 --> 01:06:48,703
It's not the way it was at all.
763
01:06:48,873 --> 01:06:51,542
If I'm going to be hung,
don't hang me for a sheep.
764
01:06:52,751 --> 01:06:54,708
Come to papa and confess.
765
01:06:59,840 --> 01:07:02,591
I'm going to check with the
accounting department for this.
766
01:07:08,180 --> 01:07:09,639
Mr. Loving's office.
767
01:07:09,723 --> 01:07:12,213
I'm getting pretty sick of
your unreasonable attitude.
768
01:07:19,105 --> 01:07:23,850
Ha! Ha! Ha! Walter Kyne
will fall off his chair.
769
01:07:25,903 --> 01:07:28,274
Congratulations, Mr. Loving.
- Thank you, my dear.
770
01:07:28,405 --> 01:07:30,029
Make three copies of it.
771
01:07:43,750 --> 01:07:48,660
Send copies to Griffith and to Kritzer.
I'll show the original to Walter Kyne myself.
772
01:08:03,808 --> 01:08:06,381
To Mr. Griffith and Mr. Kritzer.
- OK.
773
01:08:08,061 --> 01:08:10,730
Mr. Loving's office.
774
01:08:21,322 --> 01:08:23,113
Walter Kyne's not in. Try him at home.
775
01:08:24,574 --> 01:08:26,318
Listen.
776
01:08:26,576 --> 01:08:31,284
"M. Loving, Kyne Enterprises,
New York, New York. Dear Mark,
777
01:08:31,413 --> 01:08:34,864
Your scoop on Mobley's sensational
telecast was the clincher.
778
01:08:35,667 --> 01:08:39,165
You may regard the Midwest
Television deal as closed.
779
01:08:39,420 --> 01:08:41,412
Congratulations, Joe. "
780
01:08:41,880 --> 01:08:44,584
You're kidding?
- That's what you get for being honest.
781
01:08:47,176 --> 01:08:51,339
Where's Mobley?
- I saw him go out a little while ago.
782
01:08:52,263 --> 01:08:55,180
Try Mobley at the Dell. If
he isn't there, find him.
783
01:09:03,314 --> 01:09:08,438
Operator, is the Kyne residence
still busy? He would be.
784
01:09:09,569 --> 01:09:11,608
Well, I'm glad you're
pleased, Walter, very glad.
785
01:09:12,238 --> 01:09:18,275
Fine. Fine, Mark. Yeah. Yeah, we'll talk
about it when I come down to the office.
786
01:09:18,576 --> 01:09:19,690
Right.
787
01:09:47,182 --> 01:09:50,882
What is it, dear?
- Ahh, I'll tell you later.
788
01:09:52,687 --> 01:09:55,058
Something worries my boy.
789
01:09:55,397 --> 01:09:59,608
That darn race I started.
- Oh that.
790
01:10:02,444 --> 01:10:06,607
Come over here, darling, you're so far away.
791
01:10:08,282 --> 01:10:09,860
I wish I could help you.
792
01:10:10,242 --> 01:10:15,402
Don't you worry your
- Empty little head? Fix my back, huh?
793
01:10:17,123 --> 01:10:21,618
...and tell me your troubles.
Are you sorry you started it?
794
01:10:21,835 --> 01:10:26,295
Of course not. I just don't
want to make a mistake.
795
01:10:26,505 --> 01:10:28,165
You won't.
796
01:10:28,257 --> 01:10:33,250
That was Mark Loving on the phone.
He brought in the big Midwest deal.
797
01:10:33,719 --> 01:10:35,961
It was worth half a million
if it's worth a penny.
798
01:10:36,263 --> 01:10:41,054
Just when I'd begun to favor Griffith,
much as I personally dislike him.
799
01:10:42,226 --> 01:10:45,760
Don't tell me you've narrowed
it down to just those two?
800
01:10:45,979 --> 01:10:50,225
Ah, they're whaling away but it's the
third one that worries me the most.
801
01:10:50,399 --> 01:10:55,903
Did I hurt you?
- No darling, nobody has such hands.
802
01:10:56,029 --> 01:10:57,309
How do you know?
803
01:10:57,613 --> 01:11:01,860
Well, certainly not from experience.
- That I'd bet on.
804
01:11:02,576 --> 01:11:06,952
Harry worries you?
- Doesn't he want the job? He's doing nothing.
805
01:11:07,038 --> 01:11:10,869
He's just going on, doing his
work. Well, maybe it's just as well.
806
01:11:10,957 --> 01:11:12,701
I'd more or less ruled him out.
807
01:11:12,834 --> 01:11:14,743
Oh, I wouldn't do that.
808
01:11:17,713 --> 01:11:23,797
I mean, angel... well, now, isn't
that exactly the kind of man you want?
809
01:11:24,135 --> 01:11:28,214
Did Harry write that speech for you?
Have you got a crush on this guy?
810
01:11:28,346 --> 01:11:32,046
Did I tell you to invite him? You're
the one that brings him around.
811
01:11:32,183 --> 01:11:33,926
Oh, I'm kidding, of course.
812
01:11:35,310 --> 01:11:37,267
Oh I'll get it. Your hands are oily.
813
01:11:38,354 --> 01:11:42,303
Funny thought though. That
duck legged so- and-so Kritzer.
814
01:11:42,649 --> 01:11:45,187
If the reason he doesn't seem
to be fighting like the others
815
01:11:45,318 --> 01:11:47,856
is because he's working on me through you.
816
01:11:47,987 --> 01:11:49,896
Ha! Too funny for words.
817
01:11:50,197 --> 01:11:53,565
Oh if that's the office, I'm
staying here until late afternoon.
818
01:11:53,742 --> 01:11:54,488
Hello?
819
01:11:54,659 --> 01:11:59,154
Dorothy, the roof's falling in
down here. I've got to see you.
820
01:11:59,538 --> 01:12:04,780
Why, Mary, darling. How nice, but I can't.
821
01:12:05,876 --> 01:12:08,960
Walter's staying home with me today.
822
01:12:10,005 --> 01:12:12,506
Oh, I'd love to go to the fashion show,
823
01:12:13,277 --> 01:12:16,753
but Walter won't be going
to the office till late afternoon.
824
01:12:17,010 --> 01:12:21,636
Get away. Use the old excuse.
Everything depends on it.
825
01:12:21,806 --> 01:12:25,091
I know I promised and it
would be divine, but...
826
01:12:25,851 --> 01:12:28,970
Call me in an hour or so, huh? Bye.
827
01:12:30,104 --> 01:12:32,476
I wouldn't mind too much,
if it'd be fun for you.
828
01:12:32,856 --> 01:12:37,233
Oh, you don't want me to leave you
for a silly old fashion show, do you?
829
01:12:37,360 --> 01:12:39,317
Buy things I shouldn't have.
830
01:12:39,570 --> 01:12:43,946
- Oh go ahead, dear, I like you
to have nice things. I insist.
831
01:12:46,117 --> 01:12:51,703
Well, darling, when you put it that
way... if you insist, of course I'll do it.
832
01:13:02,380 --> 01:13:08,049
Haven't you located Mobley yet?
Try Lt. Kaufman, maybe he'll know.
833
01:13:24,356 --> 01:13:26,562
The whole thing was snide scheme.
834
01:13:26,649 --> 01:13:29,934
You made Burt call me for lunch
just so you could get at me.
835
01:13:30,861 --> 01:13:37,942
Nancy... look, I may be a snide,
but doubled in spades, but I didn't...
836
01:13:39,034 --> 01:13:40,742
There comes Burt now.
837
01:13:43,413 --> 01:13:45,204
Hello.
- Hello.
838
01:13:46,915 --> 01:13:50,668
Lover's spat?
- Yeah, she just called me a dirty name.
839
01:13:50,705 --> 01:13:53,206
And not in a very admiring tone of voice.
840
01:13:53,337 --> 01:13:57,666
- Oh. Eddie was a bad boy, huh?
- In a taxi cab.
841
01:13:57,841 --> 01:14:00,082
I told you I got sick and went home.
842
01:14:00,218 --> 01:14:02,424
Ask him what he was doing
there in the first place.
843
01:14:02,511 --> 01:14:05,215
- All right. What were you
doing there in the first place?
844
01:14:05,305 --> 01:14:10,464
I was seduced. Loving sicked his dame
on me and I had a few drinks with her,
845
01:14:10,559 --> 01:14:15,516
let her kiss me, told her no on Mark Loving
and dropped her off in front of her hotel.
846
01:14:15,605 --> 01:14:19,554
I didn't even go up for a cup
of coffee, invited though I was.
847
01:14:19,692 --> 01:14:21,234
Another time?
848
01:14:22,861 --> 01:14:24,271
Yes Sir?
- Brandy.
849
01:14:24,862 --> 01:14:27,151
And a hemlock for me.
850
01:14:29,783 --> 01:14:34,574
Burt, it's not what he did or didn't
do. He just doesn't know how to say no.
851
01:14:34,704 --> 01:14:36,826
The night we got engaged, I
told him he didn't mean it.
852
01:14:36,914 --> 01:14:41,000
He said I was crazy, the next thing I know he'd
caressing Mildred Donner in a common carrier.
853
01:14:41,037 --> 01:14:43,289
If he wants to marry me,
why does he have to do that?
854
01:14:43,461 --> 01:14:46,331
Stop the world and let me off.
855
01:14:46,797 --> 01:14:50,082
Work your beef out later, children.
Let's get down to business.
856
01:14:50,299 --> 01:14:52,718
Now, what I've got to say is
strictly over this table, all right?
857
01:14:52,755 --> 01:14:53,797
Sure.
858
01:14:54,136 --> 01:14:58,548
OK. The two murders and maybe some before -
859
01:14:58,681 --> 01:15:01,681
Were not committed by the same man.
860
01:15:01,809 --> 01:15:06,470
They were. We went back in
to the Felton girl's place
861
01:15:06,562 --> 01:15:10,144
and found a strand of hair which
matches the hair from the second murder.
862
01:15:10,357 --> 01:15:14,769
Well, what's the big secret?
- I've got more for you. Equally confidential.
863
01:15:14,944 --> 01:15:19,938
Everything is confidential.
Except me and Mildred.
864
01:15:20,323 --> 01:15:26,491
Now, listen, we've run onto the
record a string of unsolved burglaries,
865
01:15:26,578 --> 01:15:31,702
committed months ago. We think that's
the way this boy may have started.
866
01:15:31,874 --> 01:15:36,535
He steals only ladies' things,
from lone, unprotected girls.
867
01:15:36,670 --> 01:15:38,212
This guy's a real nut on dames.
868
01:15:38,296 --> 01:15:41,296
And this description
begins to fit Mobley?
869
01:15:46,094 --> 01:15:47,905
Now, Burt, I know our next move.
870
01:15:48,009 --> 01:15:51,218
Put Nancy's picture in the paper
or use her on the telecast.
871
01:15:51,473 --> 01:15:54,260
Oh, no you don't.
Print Mildred's picture. Use her.
872
01:15:54,434 --> 01:15:56,094
Where are you going?
- Out of your life.
873
01:16:33,340 --> 01:16:35,747
I'm so much in love with her, it aches.
874
01:16:35,926 --> 01:16:38,333
Well, she's loved you too.
She's treated you right.
875
01:16:38,428 --> 01:16:39,838
But I didn't do anything!
876
01:16:40,262 --> 01:16:42,385
You figure if you're drunk
it doesn't count, huh?
877
01:16:42,681 --> 01:16:44,720
I only kissed her.
878
01:16:45,934 --> 01:16:48,389
The way I just heard it, she kissed you.
879
01:16:48,477 --> 01:16:50,683
A few more times around, this is
going to be a pretty lively story.
880
01:16:50,771 --> 01:16:53,854
But I didn't do anything!
- The next time, you will.
881
01:16:54,023 --> 01:16:57,522
There won't be a next time.
- Well, tell Nancy that.
882
01:16:57,860 --> 01:16:59,484
Yeah, tell Nancy.
883
01:16:59,569 --> 01:17:00,684
For you, Mr. Mobley.
884
01:17:00,987 --> 01:17:07,190
Aha! She made it just as far as the
first telephone booth. Strong woman.
885
01:17:07,367 --> 01:17:10,792
Honey, I graciously accept your apology.
886
01:17:10,828 --> 01:17:13,533
Griffith: Don't honey me miserable character!
887
01:17:14,248 --> 01:17:17,996
Now Mark Loving is being
congratulated from Tokyo to Timbuktu!
888
01:17:18,751 --> 01:17:23,911
Only a miracle can help me now. And you
dillydallying in a haunt of pleasure.
889
01:17:24,131 --> 01:17:25,874
Somebody has to have some fun.
890
01:17:29,885 --> 01:17:31,379
That was Griffith.
891
01:17:34,764 --> 01:17:37,930
Burt, let's think.
892
01:17:38,767 --> 01:17:45,385
His crimes have become more and
more frequent, more violent, bolder.
893
01:17:47,066 --> 01:17:50,268
He's got to have a new element
in them now, something, uh...
894
01:17:50,360 --> 01:17:53,277
What do you mean?
- Well, something daring.
895
01:17:53,863 --> 01:17:56,697
Every murder he committed
has always been at night.
896
01:17:56,824 --> 01:18:00,773
- Yeah.
- Then maybe...
897
01:18:00,994 --> 01:18:02,156
What?
898
01:18:02,620 --> 01:18:06,488
- The next one will be in cold daylight.
- You think, uh...
899
01:18:06,706 --> 01:18:11,617
Yeah, that figures, the final insolence...
broad daylight.
900
01:18:11,752 --> 01:18:14,040
You mean something that
will satisfy his urge to kill
901
01:18:14,171 --> 01:18:17,088
but at the same time increase his excitement.
902
01:18:17,173 --> 01:18:20,339
Burt! Maybe to kill even while she's guarded.
903
01:18:34,437 --> 01:18:36,382
Are you going to be in for
the next hour, Miss Liggett?
904
01:18:36,487 --> 01:18:37,529
All day.
905
01:18:38,107 --> 01:18:40,327
Then I'll get some lunch down at the corner.
906
01:18:40,358 --> 01:18:41,962
The phone number's written on this card.
907
01:18:42,193 --> 01:18:43,626
If you change your mind,
be sure and let me know.
908
01:18:43,757 --> 01:18:44,799
I promise.
909
01:19:36,278 --> 01:19:37,321
Who is it?
910
01:19:38,113 --> 01:19:39,155
Ed.
911
01:19:47,829 --> 01:19:50,913
Go away, Mobley, leave me alone.
912
01:19:53,458 --> 01:19:55,498
Please, leave me alone.
913
01:20:30,571 --> 01:20:32,113
What do you want?
914
01:20:37,494 --> 01:20:39,118
Get out of here!
915
01:20:39,287 --> 01:20:40,401
Get away!
916
01:21:09,561 --> 01:21:13,510
Help! Help!
917
01:21:13,648 --> 01:21:16,434
Oh, let me in, please! Close the door!
918
01:21:29,577 --> 01:21:32,826
Stop him! He's the
killer, stop him, stop him!
919
01:21:54,222 --> 01:21:58,681
Nancy! Are you all right?
- He ran around the corner. Hurry! Hurry!
920
01:21:58,892 --> 01:22:00,137
Get up there!
921
01:24:51,071 --> 01:24:54,653
Charles, you'd be amazed! This
phone hasn't stopped ringing.
922
01:24:54,866 --> 01:24:57,617
I never knew I had so many friends.
923
01:24:58,035 --> 01:25:02,531
Of course, it doesn't necessarily mean the
big thing. At least, that's not official.
924
01:25:07,251 --> 01:25:11,912
Well?
- We got him, Jon. We've really got him.
925
01:25:12,088 --> 01:25:16,251
Are we ahead of the other papers?
- Absolutely alone. An hour, maybe more.
926
01:25:16,383 --> 01:25:20,166
Kaufman's got him here now, in a precinct
station. He's questioning him in the next room.
927
01:25:21,179 --> 01:25:24,594
If this gets on the police ticker,
it'll be in every newsroom in town.
928
01:25:24,723 --> 01:25:28,423
Don't worry, Jon. It will get on
as an ordinary Precinct arrest,
929
01:25:28,518 --> 01:25:30,640
man molesting a woman. Happens every day.
930
01:25:30,728 --> 01:25:34,428
No paper will bother to pick
that up. Everything worked.
931
01:25:34,606 --> 01:25:37,013
This guy knocked on Nancy's
door, she wouldn't open it,
932
01:25:37,108 --> 01:25:39,859
so he went after another woman on the
same floor. We got it from O'Leary.
933
01:25:40,361 --> 01:25:43,195
We're two hours away from deadline.
Have you got enough to go with now?
934
01:25:43,447 --> 01:25:45,580
Yes. I've got murder, Jon.
935
01:25:45,892 --> 01:25:49,815
The Kelly girl and the Felton girl
and at least two more before then.
936
01:25:51,203 --> 01:25:52,447
How are you going to handle it?
937
01:25:52,787 --> 01:25:57,330
Extra! What do you think I'd do?
And I don't want any boy scout talk
938
01:25:57,458 --> 01:25:59,746
about Loving and the wire
service or anything else.
939
01:26:00,085 --> 01:26:02,622
Anybody who's going to read this
will read it in The Sentinel.
940
01:26:02,920 --> 01:26:06,704
Hold on. I'll give it
to Healey. Jim! Jim! Jim!
941
01:26:08,216 --> 01:26:10,458
Healey! Healey! Jim!
942
01:26:13,846 --> 01:26:16,004
Take this right here. Make it quick.
943
01:26:24,771 --> 01:26:29,895
I want the front page down to the
fold. Remake anything you've set.
944
01:26:30,025 --> 01:26:33,061
We're putting out an extra.
Don't say anything about this.
945
01:26:33,695 --> 01:26:35,070
Circulation.
946
01:26:40,909 --> 01:26:43,067
Benny? Jon Griffith.
947
01:26:43,578 --> 01:26:45,451
How many trucks you got handy?
948
01:26:45,621 --> 01:26:50,496
Extra. And I want it spread midtown
- Grand Central, Penn station, bus terminal
949
01:26:50,584 --> 01:26:56,372
by 5:30. Keep everybody's
yap shut. First run, 20,000.
950
01:26:57,756 --> 01:27:00,163
Jon? What about pictures?
951
01:27:00,341 --> 01:27:04,041
We don't need pictures. Kritzer doesn't
have to know anything about this.
952
01:27:04,386 --> 01:27:09,047
Mrs. Kyne, please. She left that long ago?
953
01:27:09,432 --> 01:27:10,807
Well, thank you, Steven.
954
01:27:21,400 --> 01:27:23,522
Nothing more about the women he molested?
955
01:27:23,610 --> 01:27:26,464
That's all up till now.
Just says she's a Mrs. Charles Smith.
956
01:27:29,980 --> 01:27:31,022
I'll call you back.
957
01:27:46,670 --> 01:27:48,828
He should get another
Pulitzer prize for this.
958
01:27:49,214 --> 01:27:51,539
Ha! You may get something too.
959
01:27:56,428 --> 01:28:00,591
I want the first paragraph 8 columns, 14
- point bold.
960
01:28:00,890 --> 01:28:02,799
Nobody moves from this desk.
961
01:28:08,729 --> 01:28:11,849
I wish I could trust you, Mildred.
- Can't you, darling?
962
01:28:12,065 --> 01:28:14,900
To get the woman's angle,
how could I use a sob story.
963
01:28:15,068 --> 01:28:18,650
But I'm not your type of
man. You'd give it to Loving.
964
01:28:18,904 --> 01:28:21,525
I'm an independent operator now.
- Really?
965
01:28:21,823 --> 01:28:24,610
Certainly. Can't complain,
he turned me loose.
966
01:28:24,784 --> 01:28:29,409
OK, I'll take a chance. There's a bonus in
it for you, if you deliver it just to me.
967
01:28:29,538 --> 01:28:32,206
Very little Mark could
do about it now, anyway.
968
01:28:32,540 --> 01:28:33,738
Is it a good story, Jon?
969
01:28:33,958 --> 01:28:37,124
It's a pip. Do you know
where Nancy Liggett lives?
970
01:28:37,294 --> 01:28:38,243
Nancy? Sure.
971
01:28:38,420 --> 01:28:42,713
Go up and interview the woman
you'll find there. Right now.
972
01:28:42,798 --> 01:28:45,585
Right now. Thank you.
973
01:28:53,098 --> 01:28:55,933
Where have you been?
- Here and there, darling.
974
01:28:56,392 --> 01:28:58,550
You're the only one who
hasn't congratulated me.
975
01:28:58,686 --> 01:29:00,927
Well, uh, congratulations.
976
01:29:02,522 --> 01:29:05,309
You still my baby?
- You ought to know that, love.
977
01:29:18,368 --> 01:29:21,618
Thanks so much.
Mrs. Smith is very grateful.
978
01:29:21,694 --> 01:29:22,742
That's all right.
979
01:29:23,039 --> 01:29:25,977
Thanks very much for the sweater.
I'll return it as soon as possible.
980
01:29:26,041 --> 01:29:27,084
No hurry, Mrs. Smith.
981
01:29:27,167 --> 01:29:31,875
Mrs. Liggett... we... we trust in
your discretion, Mrs. Smith and I.
982
01:29:31,963 --> 01:29:35,247
And again, thanks so much.
Thank you, Miss Liggett.
983
01:29:38,259 --> 01:29:41,924
Well, well, if it isn't Mrs. Walter Kyne.
984
01:29:42,346 --> 01:29:45,465
Oh, no, you can't be the woman
I'm supposed to interview?
985
01:29:45,598 --> 01:29:48,136
Did Mark Loving put you up to this?
- No, darling, he didn't.
986
01:29:48,267 --> 01:29:49,845
I think you're lying.
987
01:29:49,935 --> 01:29:52,177
Well, Harry, I don't
particularly care what you think.
988
01:29:52,437 --> 01:29:57,431
Who is this, Harry?
- Mildred Donner, from the office.
989
01:29:59,485 --> 01:30:05,107
Oh well. Why don't we all have a drink.
- Good idea. Harry looks as though he needs one.
990
01:30:05,239 --> 01:30:09,865
And then let's talk. After all, we
are three civilized human beings.
991
01:30:09,951 --> 01:30:12,358
Well of course. Let's talk.
- Yeah, let's.
992
01:30:18,958 --> 01:30:22,457
Nancy... can't we let Bygones be bygones?
993
01:30:26,006 --> 01:30:31,046
You got your story, Ed.
A big scoop. So be happy.
994
01:30:31,343 --> 01:30:36,585
But I don't want to be
happy. I want... Nancy? Nancy?
995
01:30:40,851 --> 01:30:42,594
She hung up on me.
996
01:30:43,895 --> 01:30:49,054
Here's the full text of the confession.
Would you like to have it exclusive?
997
01:30:49,316 --> 01:30:52,850
Thanks Burt.
- You can buy me a drink sometime.
998
01:30:52,986 --> 01:30:55,856
Sure. Sure.
999
01:30:58,740 --> 01:31:00,649
There she blows!
1000
01:31:04,703 --> 01:31:07,399
I haven't given very much thought
to my successor.
1001
01:31:07,843 --> 01:31:11,583
I'll keep you in mind.
OK. Bye.
1002
01:31:12,209 --> 01:31:13,324
Extra?
1003
01:31:27,847 --> 01:31:30,966
Joe! Get this on the wire!
1004
01:31:37,730 --> 01:31:42,640
Neat but nasty.
- Want to make a bet, Mark?
1005
01:31:42,775 --> 01:31:46,310
On what?
- On me.
1006
01:31:50,281 --> 01:31:53,981
Jon, how long have you had this story?
- It seemed a lifetime.
1007
01:31:54,076 --> 01:31:55,867
Well, then, why didn't
give it to the newswire?
1008
01:31:55,953 --> 01:31:57,370
You can ask that again.
- I did.
1009
01:31:57,407 --> 01:31:58,668
After you'd extra'd!
1010
01:31:58,705 --> 01:32:03,662
Your newswire still had it first, and your
New York paper was on the street with it.
1011
01:32:03,834 --> 01:32:07,119
Hey, maybe you were right.
That was good thinking, Jon.
1012
01:32:07,212 --> 01:32:09,667
It's every man for himself around
here now, if it was good thinking.
1013
01:32:09,922 --> 01:32:11,665
And another thing, why haven't
we got a picture of the murderer?
1014
01:32:11,799 --> 01:32:15,961
Where was Kritzer when this thing broke?
- I don't know. You can ask him.
1015
01:32:22,265 --> 01:32:25,515
Well, I'd like a little
more cooperation around here.
1016
01:32:26,394 --> 01:32:29,347
Well, where have you
been? Don't you work here?
1017
01:32:29,521 --> 01:32:32,724
- You'll find out where I've been.
I've got something to take up with you.
1018
01:32:35,317 --> 01:32:37,523
Harry, who do you think you're talking to?
1019
01:32:37,653 --> 01:32:41,352
And right now, Walter, in the
privacy of your office. Come on.
1020
01:32:45,826 --> 01:32:48,660
Mildred... what's going on?
1021
01:32:50,663 --> 01:32:51,742
Well?
1022
01:32:52,331 --> 01:32:55,331
Oh, about the race,
daring, I have news for you.
1023
01:32:55,584 --> 01:32:57,078
You've both come in a tie...
1024
01:32:57,168 --> 01:32:59,207
for second place.
1025
01:33:20,145 --> 01:33:25,304
Laugh it off, Jon. You're still the best
newspaper editor in the United States.
1026
01:33:25,608 --> 01:33:28,228
Of the Sentinel, anyway.
1027
01:33:28,610 --> 01:33:29,855
And the whole thing figures.
1028
01:33:30,153 --> 01:33:34,944
How can you say that? Harry Kritzer.
- I say it figures.
1029
01:33:35,032 --> 01:33:37,949
There you were, you and
Loving, batting your brains out.
1030
01:33:39,077 --> 01:33:43,074
Loving brings in a television
contract worth half a million dollars.
1031
01:33:43,330 --> 01:33:46,745
You and I cook up a
scheme to catch the killer.
1032
01:33:46,916 --> 01:33:52,372
Endangering, let us not forget, the life
of one of the most wonderful gals in the -
1033
01:34:05,056 --> 01:34:07,428
Carlo, can you find me a
sandwich and a glass of milk?
1034
01:34:07,516 --> 01:34:08,761
You bet I can.
1035
01:34:16,857 --> 01:34:21,565
Continue. You get a great scoop.
1036
01:34:21,903 --> 01:34:26,611
The text of the full confession
of the killer, exclusively
1037
01:34:26,698 --> 01:34:31,857
and who ends up on top? Honest Harry Kritzer.
1038
01:34:31,952 --> 01:34:37,112
Because all the time he's been
playing footsie with Walter's wife.
1039
01:34:37,999 --> 01:34:44,001
Shall I continue?
- Continue. I love to be sad.
1040
01:34:44,087 --> 01:34:49,081
Harry Kritzer gets the job,
Walter Kyne gets his wife back
1041
01:34:49,174 --> 01:34:52,507
and Mildred Donner ends up
with a syndicated column.
1042
01:34:52,719 --> 01:34:56,052
And you and I each get a $1,000 bonus.
1043
01:35:00,600 --> 01:35:04,728
They'll have to mail mine to me. I've quit.
1044
01:35:07,939 --> 01:35:13,099
You don't mean that.
- Kyne has my letter of resignation.
1045
01:35:13,194 --> 01:35:15,980
Am I supposed to laugh this off, too?
1046
01:35:16,321 --> 01:35:19,820
Every man protects what
is most precious to him.
1047
01:35:20,491 --> 01:35:23,278
It gets down to the squeeze, Jon. That's it.
1048
01:35:23,744 --> 01:35:29,496
Big men protect big things and
little men like Walter Kyne -
1049
01:35:30,166 --> 01:35:32,074
Don't stop on my account.
1050
01:35:34,586 --> 01:35:38,583
May I, uh, serve all you
gentlemen a drink on the house?
1051
01:35:38,714 --> 01:35:41,584
I'll have mine straight, Carlo.
- Yes, Sir.
1052
01:35:41,800 --> 01:35:44,172
I invited you to to continue, Mobley.
1053
01:35:47,096 --> 01:35:50,511
Little men protect what they
consider most precious, too.
1054
01:35:50,599 --> 01:35:54,181
Walter Kyne. What does he have to protect?
1055
01:35:54,435 --> 01:36:00,970
His face. Appearances. The appearances
that go along with $10 million
1056
01:36:01,107 --> 01:36:04,107
and a smile from the owner
of the Cub Room and...
1057
01:36:04,318 --> 01:36:08,445
...a beautiful, faithless wife.
1058
01:36:09,197 --> 01:36:14,901
Feel sorry for him, Jon. He carries
his own cross on his 2 x 4 shoulders.
1059
01:36:15,452 --> 01:36:19,116
He knows just how little he really is.
1060
01:36:26,752 --> 01:36:28,828
I'll mail you a postcard, Jon.
1061
01:36:36,844 --> 01:36:39,299
Ed! Ed!
1062
01:36:45,517 --> 01:36:48,850
I don't know why we had to travel
all night to get married in Florida.
1063
01:36:48,937 --> 01:36:50,265
They do it nice here.
1064
01:36:54,900 --> 01:36:58,351
You folks read the local paper?
- That's just why we came.
1065
01:36:58,528 --> 01:36:59,938
Thank you.
- I'll take it.
1066
01:37:03,282 --> 01:37:08,441
My, my, they have it here, too:
"I Confess: Full Text of the...
1067
01:37:08,536 --> 01:37:12,699
"... the New York Lipstick Killer's
Confession, by Edward Mobley. "
1068
01:37:12,831 --> 01:37:15,666
So I confess.
- And listen to this...
1069
01:37:15,750 --> 01:37:17,908
"Mr. Walter Kyne announces the appointment
1070
01:37:18,002 --> 01:37:19,246
So he confesses, too.
1071
01:37:19,315 --> 01:37:20,358
"Announces the appointment
1072
01:37:20,420 --> 01:37:24,334
Look, I haven't had any sleep for two
nights, honey. Get your things off.
1073
01:37:24,424 --> 01:37:26,083
It's your wedding day. You want to look nice.
1074
01:37:26,217 --> 01:37:29,522
"Announces the appointment
of Jon Day Griffith
1075
01:37:29,627 --> 01:37:32,717
as Executive Director
of Kyne Newspapers...
1076
01:37:32,805 --> 01:37:34,963
...and associated enterprises. "
1077
01:37:35,057 --> 01:37:36,468
Ahh, you're making that up.
1078
01:37:36,600 --> 01:37:38,509
"And announces that Mr. Harry Kritzer -
1079
01:37:38,852 --> 01:37:43,014
"Mr. Harry Kritzer,
veteran chief of Kyne Pix...
1080
01:37:43,105 --> 01:37:48,264
"leaves immediately on a two year tour
as a roving ambassador of goodwill...
1081
01:37:48,359 --> 01:37:50,268
...to friendly nations all over the globe. "
1082
01:37:50,403 --> 01:37:53,023
Little boys grow up. You never know.
1083
01:37:53,113 --> 01:37:55,022
"At the same time, Mr. Kyne
disclosed the appointment...
1084
01:37:55,156 --> 01:37:59,568
"... of Mildred Donner, former womens'
writer to the newly created post...
1085
01:37:59,660 --> 01:38:01,284
...of personal assistant to Mr. Kyne. "
1086
01:38:01,370 --> 01:38:04,619
Now, that's better. Romance is not dead.
1087
01:38:04,747 --> 01:38:06,740
"Consistent with the policy of rewarding merit
1088
01:38:06,874 --> 01:38:10,207
Look at this beautiful
nightgown. And a shorty, too.
1089
01:38:10,294 --> 01:38:14,540
Put it down, darling, it's daylight.
- And you can see right through it.
1090
01:38:14,630 --> 01:38:16,706
"Consistent with the
policy of rewarding merit...
1091
01:38:16,840 --> 01:38:18,916
"... Mr. Edward Mobley will
be tendered the position...

...of Managing Editor of
the New York Sentinel. "
1093
01:38:22,053 --> 01:38:23,463
Where?
1094
01:38:30,435 --> 01:38:33,518
My, my, how warm it gets down here.
1095
01:38:34,855 --> 01:38:36,135
They can't do this!
1096
01:38:36,398 --> 01:38:38,224
Wait till I see him.
1097
01:38:38,650 --> 01:38:40,523
I'll tell him a few things.
1098
01:38:41,527 --> 01:38:44,100
What does he think? Everybody
has to jump when he whistles?
1099
01:38:52,786 --> 01:38:54,659
I did something for you this morning.
1100
01:38:55,538 --> 01:38:58,289
I know you did. You made
an honest man out of me.
1101
01:39:01,084 --> 01:39:06,243
I couldn't buy you that explorers' license
darling. They never heard of such a thing.
1102
01:39:10,967 --> 01:39:15,011
The best I could do was a hunting license.
1103
01:39:17,264 --> 01:39:21,047
That would be Mr. Kyne. Was there
something you wanted to say to him?
1104
