Who's there?

Paul, wake up. Let me in.

I tell you, it is too late. You cannot come in here. Paul, hurry, please.

Paul.

Let me in.

Now then, we shall see if you go in or not. Mr. Dover, this woman insists she

your sister.

She certainly is.

Thank you very much, Father Duval. You go back and go to sleep.

Here, have a cigarette and calm down.

I can't help it.

Well, what's going on?

Paul, I'm in a terrible jam.

Jam? You?

How do you mean?

I'm being blackmailed.

Why, you've never done anything to anyone in your life.

Suppose I told you I have.

You didn't tell anyone when I stole Grandma's false teeth and made a

mask. So come on, what is it?

Your husband was essentially appointed to the new cabinet.

Well, no one needs a newspaper for that.

But Rene's not sure of that appointment.

And I won't be sure of Rene if this happens.

What happens, sis?

You've been behaving yourself these last few years, haven't you?

Paul, you remember when I was at the store about six years ago, before I was

married? Gee, you had a terrific crush on a guy named Marlowe.

Oh, I thought I was in love with him.

I didn't believe he was the kind of a person he is.

I wouldn't believe it even after we broke up.

I guess we all kid ourselves about things like that.

It hurts to admit the truth.

Everybody does.

Well, he resented my marrying Rene and wanted to get even with me.

Why, even after we had our baby and came back to me.

Marlowe kept calling me and asking me to meet him.

Didn't see him, did you?

Oh, I didn't know what to do, Paul. I was afraid.

I saw him four or five times for lunch, and then he insisted that I meet him at

his flat when Renny was in Geneva.

I told him, of course, it was out of the question that I could never see him

again.

Shouldn't have seen him at all, huh?

Well, now he's threatening to sell my letters to a scandal sheet.

Nice guy.

Why, if they're ever printed, Renny's chances will be wrecked. And mine, too.

You know how much I love him, Paul.

And as much as he loves me and the baby and as grand a companionship as we have,

René wouldn't stand for a scandal.

He couldn't in his position.

And he wouldn't, not with his temperament.

In my dumb way, I'm beginning to see that there's enough truth in this

to make it sound convincing.

There might have been, Paul.

What does he want of you, money?

Yes. This time, 200 ,000 francs.

About ten times as much as I'll ever have.

Where is he now?

Where are the letters?

Room 214 at the Monte Hotel.

Well, you run on home, sis. Get to sleep.

Forget all about it.

Don't worry.

If those letters get out, Rennie will be ruined, Paul.

Won't get out.

Good luck.

Goodbye. Goodbye, sweet.

Hey, Marcel.

Marcel.

What do you want?

You finished your parole, haven't you?

Oui.

Well, get up and come in here. We got business to attend to.

It's one o 'clock. You're crazy.

I know it, but come on in.

Oh, Lord.

You've become a real Frenchman, huh?

You drink wine, no water.

Good -bye, Bob.

Come in. Well, well, don't tell me you've brought a customer who

finer things.

Miss Fraser, this is Mr. Tobol, one of the sculptors on my list whose work I

recommend. Miss Fraser is buying for the collection.

Well, I beg your pardon.

How do you do?

Look round, make yourself at home. Thank you.

Had breakfast?

Yes, thanks.

Said we can't stay very long.

Classic for what I'm after.

I'm not very interested in living artists.

I thought I'd dispose of them today.

You're disposing of all the living artists today?

Most modern's work, I'm afraid you can judge in very few minutes.

I suppose.

No, this one should have been done in bronze.

I like it like that.

Oh, mister.

She should have been moving instead of standing still.

She should never move.

Have you ever used metal?

I think it would suit your talent better.

You may be right.

That's fair.

No, it isn't.

You've got to eat it. It's your business.

Well, I think it's delicious.

Perfectly delicious.

This one's the only one I might possibly be interested in.

Like that?

How much do you want for him?

Well, about... No, Father.

I just wanted to know for comparison.

I wouldn't want to buy that one.

Why don't I?

It's lovely, no?

Oh, yes. Isn't that lovely?

Isn't that nice?

Well, I'm glad I came.

I'd like to talk to you about this. How much do you want for it?

$80 ,000.

Yes, that's the price today. Special. Just to clear.

I'm talking business.

So am I. $80 ,000 to an expert.

Someone would like to have it around, you know, just $40.

It's yourself.

Don't be foolish, Paul.

I'm not. She is.

Bye. Thank you very much.

Entirely welcome.

Goodbye.

Bye.

You know, I can't stand smart -alecky women.

Like Jack, after Jack.

Hey.

Weebit, what do you say? Is it right?

Yes.

What time we go out there tonight?

Nine o 'clock.

These papers we go for, are they valuable?

Yes, very.

They're chemical formulas, stolen from my brother.

What right is a critic who can't sculpt to tell a fellow how to do his work?

Tough one?

No, not very.

You're a bright guy, Marlowe. I told you we shouldn't have left them there.

Marcel.

It's me, Paul.

Paul. How do you feel?

Been out cold for three days. I'm sorry.

So he goes.

I want to ask you something.

Paul, I've got them.

Yes.

Well, where are they?

I don't know.

You destroyed them, didn't you?

Destroy them?

No, you said they were very valuable.

Marcel, forgive me. I know you're in awful pain, but can you remember what

did to me?

I am shocked.

I feel dizzy.

I run a little.

I see the doorway.

I stand.

I hear him coming.

I am afraid he'll take it away from me. I see furniture in the

doorway. I put it inside.

I feel dizzy.

Very.

I'll wait up here.

Do you remember what doorway?

I think it is Barnel.

He means the land.

No visitors except relatives, please.

I'm gladder. You cannot stay long.

We won't.

Where did you put the stuff you took?

Nurse.

You're going to talk.

You're going to talk low.

Where did you put it?

I was hanging in the alley, as always.

Yes, I'm sure I lost it right around here somewhere.

I don't care about the wallet, but my passport was in it.

I'd seen nothing.

You were moving some crates in and out that night, if I remember correctly.

Oh, no, Mr.

You weren't?

Oh, oui. Three nights ago, we had to rush to get some things aboard the

Steamer? We shipped with the Burlington Museum in Los Angeles.

Oh.

Was that your only shipment that night? Oui, monsieur. A small shipment. Only 61

crates.

I see.

Well, thanks very much.

But where are you leaving, Paul?

Oh, just home sick, I suppose.

René thinks you should stay.

Yes. What can you find at home to compare with Paris?

There are a couple of competitions that I want to enter.

Prize awards, eh?

If I'm lucky.

Think you've any chance of getting them, Paul?

I'm a cinch.

But why leave now?

Wait till Spain comes down to the country with us.

Yes, what makes you so sure of walking off with those prize awards back home?

Well, judging from the enthusiastic indifference my work's been arousing, I

guess the only way I'll ever get any prizes is by stealing them. Oh, not you.

Sorry to interrupt your service.

I was to remind you at 11 that you are due at the premier for a conference.

Oh, I was.

What, are you going to do more of the Marvel futuristic thing?

No, something much more realistic this time.

But you don't know exactly where they are.

I mean, the competition.

After all, you do have a habit of wandering around and not caring where

Ah, but this time I have a definite objective.

That's the talk. I hate to interrupt your talk, but the premier will be

You go ahead, darling. I'll be right there. I'll wait for you in the car.

Goodbye, Paul. Goodbye, Au revoir. And thanks for your time. That's quite all

right.

He's a good egg, isn't he?

Oh, Paul, I can't have anything happen to him because of me.

It won't, honey.

I've got news for you.

The two fellows that paid Marcel to visit at the hospital are now behind the

bars in the Hoosgall. The gendarmes picked them up going out of the place.

can't do anything, then.

Well, I don't know.

Marcel talked.

Oh, Paul, are you sure you can fix it?

Remember Esmeralda, your little doll?

When the stuffings came out of her and the doll hospital said they couldn't do

anything about it, I fixed her for you, didn't I?

Yes. Well, don't worry.

Mr. Dover, with one of our dogs to help you, you won't have any trouble finding

your way around a museum or anywhere else. It's hard to believe that they're

that clever.

Well, you've known one a while.

Do you think the museum will grant me a special privilege?

Let me study things in there for a while?

Well, for an ordinary person, I'd say no.

But for somebody like you, I'm sure they'd relax the rules.

Cigarette?

Thanks. Here you are.

I'd like to start my training as soon as I can.

You can begin today.

Mr. Edwards is ready to go home, Jim. Oh, tell him I'll see him right after

lunch.

You can have his room here.

When can I have a look at the dogs?

Figuratively speaking, of course.

Why, right now. Come along.

Tell Mr. Edwards what you do.

There you are, right over here.

They know there's a stranger here. Yes, I can hear that.

The first thing is to have complete confidence in your dog.

Do you think they really know when their owner is blind?

Ever seen a dog with a baby watching it?

Nobody has any way of telling him in words that the child is helpless.

But the dog knows.

Do they sound friendly?

They are.

Out here is where we keep the graduates.

Every one of these is completely schooling.

Now, here's a great animal.

His name is Ace.

He can do everything but talk.

He's a finicky customer.

So far, he hasn't taken a fancy to anybody.

Come here, fella.

Come here, boy.

Come here, fella.

Come here, boy.

He likes you.

It's mutual.

Tell him to fetch his harness.

Go fetch your harness, eh?

They seem to like you all right.

And that's the first step in your training.

And a dog you like likes you.

What do you say, Ace?

How about it?

I'd say there was no doubt about it.

Well, you're a nice fellow.

Yes.

It's a mailbox.

It's strange to know the word mail.

Where are you taking me, fella?

Just let me lead you, Mr. Goldberg.

Yeah, and you did all right today.

You mean Ace did all right? Oh, no, it was teamwork.

After all, if you hadn't had confidence in him, if you'd gotten panicky, he

couldn't have done a thing for you.

Well, what's next?

For you to learn the harness signals so well, you could do them in your sleep.

Here you are.

What's the matter?

What is it? I feel heat.

Just the lighter.

Oh.

There you are.

Thanks.

Well, how do you feel after you work out today, Ace?

Morning. Morning.

Your voice sounds like Mr. Dover.

That's right.

You're Mr. Lane, aren't you?

Uh -huh.

When are you finishing?

What?

What's the matter?

You haven't been blind long, have you?

No, I haven't.

Oh, that explains it then.

Explains what?

You're the first blind man I ever heard safe of.

Because you knew, I guess.

By and by, your hearing will sharpen up like the rest of us.

Forward.

Have a nice walk.

Thank you.

We've got a tough job ahead of us, fella.

May take weeks to go through that place, but it's got to be done.

It's the only way I can stay in there.

Are you with me?

Right?

Right.

Find

a

place. We think so, sir.

Some beautiful things in there.

They're awesome.

That South Wing collection alone cost over a million dollars.

Don't blame me for being strict.

Oh, we're not afraid of thievery so much as damage.

There's an ironclad rule against touching or handling things.

Justified, too.

Well, goodbye.

Goodbye, sir.

Well, here we are.

You're in a big foyer.

Yes, I can tell by the sound.

You're to see the assistant curator.

The curator's office and the directors have given permission for you to roam

around in copy or whatever you want.

Well, thanks, Mr. Nathan. That's very kind. Glad to help out.

Forward, boy.

Any luck?

We make luck. We don't run into it.

Here's your cigarette.

Where's my change?

Here we are working on a 30 grand deal and you're worried about 20 cents.

30 grand belongs to somebody else right now.

20 cents belongs to me.

Why don't we crack this place just like any other job?

The land where the French mob did?

No.

This one where we keep our fingernails clean till we know where the stuff is.

There's 20 rooms full of second -hand furniture back there and we are not

to pick the wrong one.

On the 12th. That's when our Renaissance exposition opens.

Thank you.

Hello, Miss Fraser.

This is Mr. Paul Dover, the gentleman the curator spoke to you about.

This is Miss Fraser.

Yes, we've met.

I think I remember your voice.

We met in Paris last May.

That's right. I'm so sorry.

Well, an auto smash fixed me up.

I'm not finding it too bad, after all.

But if you'll excuse me, I'll run along.

Thanks again. Not at all. Follow me anytime.

Ace, take good care of your owner.

Goodbye. Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Well, this is mighty swell of you.

Ordinarily, we don't allow people to handle things, but staying here by

themselves is strict. But you needn't worry.

Well, I can't do originals anymore, but I can copy the classics by studying them

with my hands.

Ace here will keep me from bumping into things.

Fred, I was pretty...

and unpleasant that day in Paris when I came to your studio.

Well, I don't suppose I was any dish of peaches and cream myself that morning.

Well, I've been warned.

People say if I work here much longer, I'll become as stern and formal as the

museum. But I love to say, come on, I'll show you around.

Well, the French boys are knocked off and get a stretch for shooting this

And they write to Mitch about it while they're out on bail, huh?

Well, they were out on Dale.

Bad setup. I'm going to tell Mitch, so... Oh, yeah.

Plenty. What are you going to tell me, sweetheart?

Oh, nothing much.

You don't like the deal?

Oh, it's Jake. Why do we fool around with this kind of stuff all the time?

it's months before we collect.

And in the meantime, people sweat.

I'm the guy who turns the heat on.

I get tired of seeing him jump around. I turn it off and take that door.

And maybe you can tell us how you're going to go through everything in that

museum.

They're going to work there as a janitor.

Oh. They have a hard time keeping help there.

Twelve of a day and no days off.

Yeah, but suppose there are no jobs open.

Make sure there is.

Hail one of the broom pushers out of the place.

Him, they're going over, so he'll be out for a while.

The man's dead, Miss Fraser.

No. That's why I came up.

Ordinarily, the police would dismiss it as a case of hold -up men beating up a

man they were trying to rob.

But nobody tried to rob a Jennifer.

We didn't think so either.

Is there anything I can do?

No. Keep me informed if anything turns up.

Very well.

Hey, you! You with the dog!

No dogs in here, can't you?

Oh, it's you, sir. I'm sorry. Oh, that's all right.

Can I help you around?

No, thanks.

Well, just sing out if you want something. The sprays are left ordered.

Thank you very much.

Pardon me.

That's all right.

Is this the South Wing?

Um... Yeah.

Would you be kind enough to lead me to the Pioneer Group?

You know, the animal sculptor?

You mean the horses?

Yes. Yeah, right over here.

Oh,

thank you.

All right.

Hey, boys.

This is where we go to work.

How are you waking up?

Fine, thanks. Good.

I brought you one of these chairs you can move around. I'm pressed from many

places to sit in a museum.

Well, you're much too kind to a man who's breaking all your rules.

What are you making?

The planner group.

I couldn't resist the temptation just now of wandering around trying to get a

mental picture of my surroundings.

Oh? Well, come on back.

My, you're such a lovely dog.

Say thanks, Ace.

Say thanks.

That's thanks.

I hope you don't mind my coming in to talk to you.

On the contrary, I love it.

I wanted to tell you how much I admired you.

I don't know why you should.

Oh, most people would be sitting around feeling sorry for themselves.

Not you, here you are, working, standing on your own two feet. Explained by the

necessity of eating.

Now, I'm still interested in that statuette of yours I saw in Paris.

It's, um, been sold.

Oh.

Well, congratulations.

Well, if you had taken it, would it have been shown here, in this room?

No. No, probably in the West Wing.

I'd like to see, figuratively speaking, of course, the other things you picked

up on that last trip.

I think the things that are intact are in the West Wing.

I'd love to show them to you on Tuesday.

Consider Tuesday reserved.

Now, I think you need a table. I'll see if I can find one.

You know, she's not such a bad scout after all.

Really, she isn't.

I want you to take that upstairs.

Hey, is this something new? It's just come in. That?

It's been around a couple of hundred years.

Where does it go?

Outside the West Wing.

Oh, I couldn't help it. Oh, shut up.

What's the matter?

Oh, Fleet Brain here smashed something, so they put him to work outside of the

building. Sir, where'd you get that?

That's his cut out of the land job she paid up today.

Oh, wait a minute.

Here's yours.

Thanks. We'd walk off with three times as much in this job if Bright Eyes

jammed himself up.

Listen, I got an idea for fixing the whole thing.

Keep it.

And you owe me 15 cents for a telephone call to Long Beach.

You been listening to me, Mitch?

There's a guy over there, he's blind.

Nobody pays any attention to him, he's got the run of the whole place.

Miss Fraser.

Well, right, but how did you know?

I've come to recognize the click of your footsteps.

It's almost as easy to tell as by voice.

What sort of mind?

Fast tempo, very regular.

They say that indicates a determined but nervous character.

Sharp click indicates small shoe.

With high insteps, high insteps mean emotional temperament.

Well, I came by to thank you for those lovely flowers you left in my office.

Well, I wish there was some other way I could thank you for all you've done.

There is.

Name it.

Letting me have one of these little figures you're making.

They're not very good.

Nevertheless, I'd love one.

This one.

Well, I'll chip it out for you in Marvel if you'd like. No, I'd rather have it

this way.

Sure. Thank you.

I have some tickets for the symphony tonight. Would you like to come along?

Sounds swell.

Oh, fine. Well, then I'll pick you up at seven.

Seven of those.

You see now?

Oh, you have no appreciation for fine things.

Well, that's better. Do you like it better?

What's the matter, fella?

And they call someone a reindeer.

Keep that dog away from me.

Oh, he's all right.

Well, I'm grateful for visitors.

What can I do for you?

Well, how would you like to make $500?

Very much.

And ask no question.

Meaning it's not quite legal, huh?

Meaning and ask no question.

Depends on what it is.

You're hanging around a museum.

There's some letters there we want. Don't belong to the museum. Got there

accidentally. We want you to get it.

You want me to get some letters for you?

Yeah.

Well, it'll double your price. Now do it.

I see.

Take it or leave it.

I'll take it.

Here.

What if I should tell the curator in the morning?

You won't.

If you think much of your dog.

No, that's true.

I always like to get things on a friendly basis first.

Now, this is what we want.

Who is it?

Come in.

Don't you believe in electricity?

Why, is it dark in here?

Yes.

You know, it never occurs to me to turn on the lights anymore when I come in.

Hello, Ace.

Have you had supper yet?

No, we haven't.

We're a couple of slow folks.

We'd better hurry or we'll be late.

Let's get something on the way down, shall we?

No, let me fix you something. It'll be quicker.

Aren't you nice?

No, you're spoiling me.

I'm not used to having anyone cook for me.

I'm a very good cook, too, what's more.

Really?

Corn, peas, beans.

What do you have?

Oh, anything suits me.

How about spinach?

No, let's skip that.

Spinach is my good friend.

No, no.

You know, it's a funny thing about spinach.

You eat it to the iron, yet you cook the iron out of it before you eat it.

You boil it to bring out just the flavor, and you put hard -boiled eggs on

disguise the flavor.

You hate it, but you down it because it's supposed to make you strong.

The stronger you are, the more you can hate something.

And people that hate things get nervous.

Nervous people get run down, and run down people have to be built up. So they

eat more spinach to get more iron.

There you are.

You certainly licked up that a cane, including your spinach. I guess it must

have been the way you fixed it.

It's good for you.

It wasn't very hard to empty my plate, either.

Good evening.

What's the matter? I hear the gong ringing. Somebody's broken in. We're

have to have a police guard around here for a while. Good night.

Which will keep our three generous friends away for a while and give us a

to finish our job.

Right this way, Sergeant.

Can't figure out what they were after.

Some of these antiques are worth fortune.

Sure, but they can't get rid of them.

Can't tell me any hoodlum wants a painting or a statue just to keep

You'll have to put a stop to it. A murder and an attempted burglary in less

a month.

Put on special guards and watch, that's about all.

Someday I'm going to count that door for yours.

Take it easy, Ace.

We're all going to have to take it easy for a few days.

Positive about that? Yes, sir.

Sure you saw no one?

Not unless you count a poor blind duffer I ran into outside on the grounds. Who

is he?

Oh, poor devil. Works here every day, making copies of the statues, trying to

earn a few dollars.

Everybody here knows him.

Name's Paul Dover. What was he doing?

Why, taking a few turns around the lawns, I suppose.

Funny time to be walking around the ground.

Well, night time, day time, it's all the same to him, poor fellow.

Know anything about him?

Only that he used to live in France. Came here a short while ago.

You got a phone handy?

Yes, sir. Right out there.

Get me the sub -treasury building.

Sub -treasury building?

Give me the passport office, please.

Hello? This is Police Sergeant Bower speaking.

I need a little information.

I want you to look up the passport record of a man who came in from France

months ago.

Paul Dover.

Morning.

Good morning, Miss Fraser.

Don't you break your record? Well, I've been here for 20 years, Miss, and I

haven't broken anything yet.

Find out anything?

He wasn't blind when he left France two months ago.

Mother Goofy, he's blind as a bat.

It won't be hard to make sure.

There's going to be a bad one, I'm afraid, Ace.

morning for?

Oh, hello.

How's it going?

Not so good, I guess.

How does it look?

Very nice.

You're my best friend, but I'm afraid not my severest pity.

No, no, no, really, it looks very nice.

That's music to my ears, but I don't believe it.

Yes. Then you're not blind.

No, I'm not.

I'm terribly glad, but I don't understand.

Well, I had to get into this place, Judith.

Why?

Well, I've got a kid sister in France.

Six or eight years ago, she got herself... You a minute, Miss Frazier?

Yes, there's something I'd like to tell you.

What's that? I think it'll be necessary to put on a full -time guard detail day

and night.

I've ordered that already.

Good. This is Mr. Paul Dover, who's been doing some work here.

He's Sergeant Barr from the police department.

Not annoyed.

Mutual. This is my buddy, Ace.

It's a shame to see a man with talent deprived of his sight.

Poor fellow gets used to it.

How long have you been blind, Mr. Dover? Not very long. Auto crash fixed me up.

Mr. Dover's done some remarkable work in spite of his handicap.

But I wanted to see you about, Miss Frazier. Can you furnish me with a list

all employers in the previous record?

Yes, send me. I have one in my office.

I'd like to have it now.

Fine. Well, I'll get it for you.

We're going to have some fun trying to get out of here, fella.

Our friend the sergeant's going to keep a loving eye on every step we take.

So there they are.

We took the wrong door, pal.

Well...

Up

to you, fella.

I gotta keep walking till you stop me.

The gap's open.

The guy is blind.

Maybe so.

If he hears the dog, he'll stop him in plenty of time.

If he isn't, he'll stop himself before he gets there.

Are you all right, Dover?

Why, yes. What's the matter? Your dog stopped you just in time.

You'd have gone down the elevator shaft. Really?

We'll help you outside.

No, I'll take Mr. Dover off.

Sure.

Tell me, Paul, why? Please.

I suppose you think it's pretty rotten of me, don't you?

I don't know what I think. I know I'm terribly glad you can see me.

What reason could you possibly have?

Well, Julia, it was like this.

I, uh... Look, it'll be a lot easier for me to tell you in a couple of days.

Can you possibly wait until then?

I'll have to.

I thought, Miss Fraser, that maybe they were historical documents.

Maybe the king.

There was somebody who owned that chair, wrote him to Marie Antoinette.

Thanks for bringing them in.

Well, did you have a tough day?

Not bad.

How about you?

Well, I ran into something.

I was cleaning the car, you see, and I come across a packet of letters.

It was about ten of them, all tied up in a little bundle.

You sure?

Listen, I tell you, he found them.

They were hidden in the couch.

All right, I'll meet you there.

What's the matter, boy?

With him?

Some friends of yours.

Oh. Yes, I... I recognize your voice.

Call off that hound.

Over there, Ace.

Ace, go lay down.

Come in. Come in. Make yourselves comfortable.

Mr. Ruffin, do I have a little talk with you?

Well, I suppose you want to complain because I'm not getting results.

Well, really, I'm doing the best I can.

No complaint.

Just want to make a date.

For tonight, buddy.

Something new come up?

Yeah. We got to move in there tonight.

What's the program?

One of the janitors accidentally ran in what we are after. It's in the office

over there.

Well, at least you've located it, haven't you?

Yeah. All we have to do now is to get it.

How are you going to do that?

Send him a letter and ask for it. No, no, seriously.

I'm interested.

Good. You keep on being interested.

You're going up there tonight at 10 o 'clock.

Get talking to the guard at the door.

Just keep him occupied for a few minutes.

Nobody will think anything of you being up there.

Then what?

Then nothing.

That's all you do.

After that, eat it. Make sure you forget you were the medicine.

Very sure, buddy.

Got to be out of here before ten, boy.

Well, take it easy, Al. Sure thing.

Everything's quiet.

Good night.

Good night.

Now, don't turn around.

Do as you're told and you won't get hurt.

Now go to that door.

Don't turn around.

Open that door and keep your hands high.

Operating, sure.

Thank you.

He's not here yet.

He'll be along.

You won't need him anyhow.

What do you mean?

There's no guard at the door.

Look.

He must have got them himself.

Wait a minute.

What's the matter? Don't you want to get them?

Yeah, but not here. Why not?

Shut up.

funny about that guy.

Hey, he's not blind.

Ain't him a half a block. It's too much light.

We're left ahead of him.

Stop.

Our friends are here, fella.

Who's there?

Cut out the egg, pal.

Take it easy, Ace.

Let's have it, buddy.

Kick in. With what?

Let him have it.

See you next time.

Are you all right?

and without your light.

Keep it clear, will you?

Is he badly hurt?

I'm afraid so.

Will you hand me my hat?

We've got to get him to a vet. Come on, I've got a car.

I was just telling him. I was standing up there ready.

There he is now.

He's the one that broke in.

Come on.

You know where there's a vet?

Yes, Paul.

You know, this is the foolish thing for you to do, Julia.

Is it?

You have to be involved in this mess.

You shouldn't have come.

I'm not asking you for any explanation.

This is the place, and I've seen it on my way to work.

Good evening.

Dr. Wilson? Yes?

Helen Lackson.

Not very bad.

Crew's back the way you came.

They turned in somewhere in the last few blocks.

Is it very bad?

It's got a nasty wound, all right.

We got it off hunting.

How bad is it?

I'll tell you in a minute or two.

You folks will just step into the next room. I think we'll behave better if I

have him alone.

You've been swell, Julia.

You haven't asked for next... Are you sure you want to say it?

Yes.

I have a sister in France.

She's married to someone in a very high official position.

She innocently wrote some letters that were very incriminating.

Some clever blackmailers have been trying to get hold of them, and if they

it would have wrecked her life.

So I made up my mind that I was going to try to get them.

Did you get them? Yes.

They were the letters that your janitor turned over to you.

Oh, Paul, in that case, I'm so damned.

He'll live all right.

That sounds as though it might be better if he didn't.

Perhaps it would. He may be blind.

Blind?

Yes, you see, the bullet injured the optic nerve.

That dog means a lot to me, Doctor.

Do whatever you can for him, will you?

I'll do everything that's humanly possible. I know that.

All right, Dover. What's the meaning of this?

Police department.

Well, what are your charges?

Among other things, unlawful entry of the museum and burglary.

Come on, Dover.

Look after things for me here, will you?

No, Paul, I'm going to.

Perhaps I can help.

Tell me something, Dover. What were you after in that job?

Well, it's been such a long time, it sort of slipped my mind, Sergeant.

Have it your own way.

Say, nobody asked... That is, uh, no one asked to come in here and meet me, did

they? Well, I know of.

So long.

So long.

Eighth, I'm glad to see you, boy, and you look great.

Well, how did you... You didn't come down here alone.

Well, come on.

Well, come on.

Well,

Junior, it's good to see you again.

Good to see you, Paul.

I'll be nice for you to come.

I got a great kick out of Ace running up there just now.

He's in the pink of condition.

I don't know how to thank you for taking care of him.

I love him.

For coming down here and bringing him to me.

I didn't come down just to bring Ace to you, Paul.

Get in, fella.
