♪♪

00:01:27,487 --> 00:01:29,217
Logic.
3
00:01:29,356 --> 00:01:31,416
Myer, you are a cretin.
4
00:01:31,558 --> 00:01:34,892
In art, logic is the
assassin of intuition.
5
00:01:35,028 --> 00:01:37,054
Do I make myself clear, Myer?
6
00:01:37,197 --> 00:01:38,358
Yeah.
7
00:01:38,498 --> 00:01:41,525
You stand convicted
by your own words.
8
00:01:41,668 --> 00:01:44,069
Why must you
always intellectualize?
9
00:01:44,204 --> 00:01:47,368
But, Glovatski, I was
agreeing with you.
10
00:01:47,507 --> 00:01:49,237
Repudiate me, Myer!
11
00:01:49,376 --> 00:01:51,538
Lash out with heavy blows.
12
00:01:51,678 --> 00:01:54,978
A true artist must
first be an anarchist.
13
00:01:59,353 --> 00:02:02,152
Like him? Otto Gervaert?
14
00:02:03,123 --> 00:02:05,558
A yogi.
15
00:02:05,692 --> 00:02:10,926
But, Glovatski, have you seen
his last painting, Day's Catch?
16
00:02:11,064 --> 00:02:13,693
Everybody says
it's a masterpiece.
17
00:02:15,602 --> 00:02:17,867
I repudiate him.
18
00:03:21,535 --> 00:03:23,231
Fiona! Fiona!
19
00:03:24,738 --> 00:03:28,197
Come quickly. Do
hurry, dear. Otto is back.
20
00:03:34,414 --> 00:03:37,907
I heard him moving around down
there. He must have just got in.
21
00:03:38,051 --> 00:03:41,215
Maybe it's a bat flying around.
22
00:04:05,612 --> 00:04:09,413
The poor boy must be
starved. Come along, Fiona.
23
00:04:20,727 --> 00:04:23,925
Otto, dear boy, welcome home.
24
00:04:26,099 --> 00:04:29,001
Oh, dear. He's gone again.
25
00:04:32,639 --> 00:04:34,972
This time he's not coming back.
26
00:04:35,108 --> 00:04:36,872
Nonsense. Of
course he'll be back.
27
00:04:37,010 --> 00:04:38,672
Why, this is his home.
28
00:04:38,812 --> 00:04:40,781
What makes you
think he won't be back?
29
00:04:40,914 --> 00:04:43,440
Because he's taken
Day's Catch with him.
30
00:04:43,583 --> 00:04:46,849
Oh, dear, yes. And he
swore he'd never sell it.
31
00:04:46,987 --> 00:04:48,853
But where would he go?
32
00:04:51,958 --> 00:04:54,291
I don't know.
33
00:04:54,427 --> 00:04:57,363
But I'll find him.
34
00:04:57,497 --> 00:05:01,059
And when I do, maybe
I'll slit open his gullet.
35
00:05:45,278 --> 00:05:46,974
Come on, men. Put
your backs into it.
36
00:05:47,113 --> 00:05:49,105
The wicked old slave
master's watching us.
37
00:05:49,249 --> 00:05:50,808
Save the funny
lines for the strip.
38
00:05:50,951 --> 00:05:52,647
That's where it came from.
39
00:05:52,786 --> 00:05:56,018
You know something, Gabe,
we're losing our identities.
40
00:05:56,156 --> 00:05:58,250
We're all turning
into little Zingys.
41
00:05:58,391 --> 00:06:00,053
Might be an improvement.
42
00:06:00,193 --> 00:06:02,719
Quick, make a note
of that one, men.
43
00:06:02,796 --> 00:06:06,563
What's the matter, Pete?
Are you tired of being a slave?
44
00:06:07,634 --> 00:06:09,762
Me? Why, no, sir.
45
00:06:09,903 --> 00:06:11,701
I love Zingy like he was my own.
46
00:06:11,838 --> 00:06:14,137
You know that,
Gabe. Like he was me.
47
00:06:14,274 --> 00:06:16,709
Sure, I know it, kid.
48
00:06:16,843 --> 00:06:18,334
Can you raise $10,000?
49
00:06:18,478 --> 00:06:20,447
10,000 bucks?
50
00:06:20,580 --> 00:06:22,776
It's a cinch. Wait a
minute. I may have it on me.
51
00:06:24,284 --> 00:06:26,412
Mmm, only four bucks,
if that's any good to you.
52
00:06:26,553 --> 00:06:29,216
Get up the balance by
tonight, and Zingy is yours.
53
00:06:29,356 --> 00:06:31,382
I'm getting out of
the comic strip field.
54
00:06:33,693 --> 00:06:36,754
Ah. Look what a
real artist can do.
55
00:06:36,897 --> 00:06:38,263
Why not me?
56
00:06:38,398 --> 00:06:40,890
That bash tonight is
my farewell party, kid.
57
00:06:41,034 --> 00:06:43,833
But only $10,000 for Zingy?
58
00:06:43,970 --> 00:06:47,134
I know you'd be a good
father to the little stinker.
59
00:06:47,274 --> 00:06:49,106
You think you can
come up with the loot?
60
00:06:49,242 --> 00:06:51,871
Why, yeah. Yeah. Sure.
61
00:06:52,012 --> 00:06:54,811
I'll get it even if I
have to rob a bank.
62
00:06:54,948 --> 00:06:57,508
Good, Pete. See
you at the party.
63
00:07:10,363 --> 00:07:12,696
Sure, it's an Otto Gervaert
canvas. Who else?
64
00:07:12,832 --> 00:07:14,300
No mistaking the technique.
65
00:07:14,434 --> 00:07:18,701
In my opinion, he's the next
big name in American art.
66
00:07:18,838 --> 00:07:21,205
I don't know. It looks like
the work of two guys to me.
67
00:07:21,341 --> 00:07:23,469
Rembrandt and Picasso maybe.
68
00:07:23,610 --> 00:07:26,045
Oh, Monty, must you
always be a bookkeeper?
69
00:07:26,179 --> 00:07:30,310
Surely you can see the artist is
dramatizing the basic need for survival
70
00:07:30,450 --> 00:07:34,683
even in a world slowly
melting back into primeval ooze.
71
00:07:34,821 --> 00:07:37,848
Mm-hmm. I wonder how
much Gabe laid out for it.
72
00:07:37,991 --> 00:07:38,991
I'd hate to tell you.
73
00:07:39,059 --> 00:07:41,219
I really paid through the
teeth for that little number.
74
00:07:41,261 --> 00:07:43,594
You know how it is
when you like something.
75
00:07:43,730 --> 00:07:46,359
But a Gervaert has got to
be an investment, hasn't it?
76
00:07:47,968 --> 00:07:50,403
Well, new guests. Ask them.
77
00:07:52,272 --> 00:07:55,333
Honestly, Pete, what's got into
you? I swear you've been drinking.
78
00:07:55,475 --> 00:07:58,104
Brace yourself, baby. I'm gonna
make an honest woman out of you,
79
00:07:58,244 --> 00:07:59,542
and I don't mean someday.
80
00:07:59,679 --> 00:08:02,513
Listen to me, Pete. I've got
to talk to you about something
81
00:08:02,582 --> 00:08:03,606
Sure. About diamonds.
82
00:08:03,750 --> 00:08:07,414
Baby, tomorrow I'm gonna buy you
a diamond as big as a cannonball.
83
00:08:09,422 --> 00:08:11,516
Am I intruding?
84
00:08:11,658 --> 00:08:12,785
Hello, Mr. Phillips.
85
00:08:12,926 --> 00:08:15,657
Greetings, wicked old slave
master. I brought the swag.
86
00:08:15,795 --> 00:08:17,787
Then you've got
yourself a strip.
87
00:08:19,866 --> 00:08:22,267
If I may have your
attention, please.
88
00:08:22,402 --> 00:08:24,928
Quiet, please, boys and girls.
89
00:08:25,071 --> 00:08:28,007
Announcement. This isn't
just another ordinary bash.
90
00:08:28,141 --> 00:08:30,076
This is a farewell party.
91
00:08:30,210 --> 00:08:31,473
Where you going, Pete boy?
92
00:08:31,611 --> 00:08:34,740
Into orbit, Monty, old man.
Straight up like a rocket.
93
00:08:36,282 --> 00:08:38,183
Pete isn't leaving. I am.
94
00:08:38,318 --> 00:08:41,049
I'm renouncing the crass
world of commercialism.
95
00:08:41,187 --> 00:08:43,281
After tomorrow, my
address will be Majorca.
96
00:08:43,423 --> 00:08:44,914
Oh, how long will you be gone?
97
00:08:45,058 --> 00:08:46,178
What's the idea, Gabe?
98
00:08:46,292 --> 00:08:47,726
I'm retiring, that's all.
99
00:08:47,861 --> 00:08:49,659
I made my pile.
Now I'm getting out.
100
00:08:51,498 --> 00:08:53,660
I always wanted to find
out if I had any real talent.
101
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:55,520
Who knows? I might
be another Otto Gervaert.
102
00:08:57,103 --> 00:09:00,301
- Gabe, who's gonna give the parties then?
- Yeah.
103
00:09:03,076 --> 00:09:05,511
Pete, let's make it legal fast.
104
00:09:05,645 --> 00:09:07,739
I've drawn up a paper...
105
00:09:07,881 --> 00:09:09,825
Oh, wait a minute. I think
that's somebody I invited.
106
00:09:09,849 --> 00:09:11,875
I'll be in the workroom.
107
00:09:16,689 --> 00:09:17,952
Mr. Mason, Miss Street.
108
00:09:18,091 --> 00:09:19,787
Hello, Pete.
109
00:09:23,663 --> 00:09:25,598
I drew that up myself, Mason,
110
00:09:25,732 --> 00:09:28,292
without the help of a lawyer.
111
00:09:28,435 --> 00:09:31,098
Looks like a very clear
outline of the proposed sale.
112
00:09:31,237 --> 00:09:32,762
I didn't see any
need for red tape.
113
00:09:32,906 --> 00:09:34,706
It's a simple arrangement
between Pete and me.
114
00:09:34,841 --> 00:09:37,868
"Simple," he says, like raising
$10,000 in one afternoon.
115
00:09:38,011 --> 00:09:40,947
I had to parlay so many deals,
only a lawyer could understand them.
116
00:09:41,081 --> 00:09:43,448
So I got me one.
Now, where do I sign?
117
00:09:43,583 --> 00:09:46,143
Pete, you oughta have a
drink to settle you down.
118
00:09:46,286 --> 00:09:48,497
- We'll call you when it's time.
- Who needs to settle down?
119
00:09:48,521 --> 00:09:49,716
I'm calm.
120
00:09:49,856 --> 00:09:52,382
Just whistle, wicked
old slave master.
121
00:09:54,394 --> 00:09:57,057
What do you want, Mason?
Some "whereases" and "to-wits"?
122
00:09:57,197 --> 00:09:59,598
No, I wouldn't say so.
123
00:09:59,732 --> 00:10:01,132
I presume the sale
124
00:10:01,267 --> 00:10:04,431
will in no way affect the present
contract with the newspaper syndicate?
125
00:10:05,438 --> 00:10:09,136
Pete may have to renegotiate
it. But Zingy is in 205 papers.
126
00:10:09,275 --> 00:10:11,369
Any of the other syndicates
would love to have it.
127
00:10:11,511 --> 00:10:13,275
May I see a copy
of the contract?
128
00:10:13,413 --> 00:10:15,006
I'll get it for you tomorrow.
129
00:10:15,148 --> 00:10:18,118
I understood you were
leaving for Majorca tomorrow.
130
00:10:18,251 --> 00:10:21,119
Mason, are you just being
a lawyer about all this,
131
00:10:21,254 --> 00:10:22,688
or don't you
approve of the deal?
132
00:10:22,822 --> 00:10:25,417
No, it would seem
to be a very fine deal.
133
00:10:25,558 --> 00:10:28,858
But I can't help wondering why
you'd sell a valuable property for,
134
00:10:28,995 --> 00:10:30,463
what, a tenth of its value?
135
00:10:30,597 --> 00:10:33,294
I didn't think he could
afford more than 10,000.
136
00:10:33,433 --> 00:10:35,459
I suppose you have
proof of ownership?
137
00:10:35,602 --> 00:10:37,434
Of the strip? I created it.
138
00:10:37,570 --> 00:10:40,050
Look, Mason, this whole thing
is getting a little too involved.
139
00:10:40,173 --> 00:10:43,075
Now, either make the deal or forget
it. I want Pete to have Zingy, but...
140
00:10:43,209 --> 00:10:44,209
Why?
141
00:10:45,311 --> 00:10:46,802
Well, he's a good cartoonist,
142
00:10:46,946 --> 00:10:48,312
I like him,
143
00:10:48,448 --> 00:10:50,110
and I feel sorry for him.
144
00:10:51,251 --> 00:10:55,018
And so, you're practically
making him a present of the strip.
145
00:10:55,155 --> 00:10:56,589
Why, Mr. Phillips?
146
00:10:56,723 --> 00:10:58,521
Because it's a booby prize.
147
00:10:58,658 --> 00:11:00,524
The poor slob ought
to get something.
148
00:11:02,462 --> 00:11:04,658
Here's to beautiful
women and brick dust,
149
00:11:04,797 --> 00:11:07,096
all those who can't love
and can scour knives.
150
00:11:07,233 --> 00:11:08,792
Oh, Pete.
151
00:11:08,935 --> 00:11:10,631
Well, I can't hope
to match that,
152
00:11:10,770 --> 00:11:13,069
but I do hope you'll
both will be very happy.
153
00:11:13,206 --> 00:11:16,040
- Leslie, Pete tells me that you and he...
- Excuse me.
154
00:11:16,176 --> 00:11:18,839
- Yes sir, Mr. Mason, sir.
- Come here, Pete.
155
00:11:19,846 --> 00:11:22,111
Do I sign now? It's okay?
156
00:11:22,248 --> 00:11:24,080
I mean, it's a
good deal, isn't it?
157
00:11:24,217 --> 00:11:27,449
Apparently you'll own the strip, all
right, but it's going to cost something.
158
00:11:27,587 --> 00:11:30,489
- Sure, ten grand.
- No. More than that.
159
00:11:30,623 --> 00:11:32,489
Pete, I think we oughta
find someplace to talk.
160
00:11:32,625 --> 00:11:34,491
- No. Wait.
- What for?
161
00:11:34,627 --> 00:11:36,653
What's going on?
Hey, what is all this?
162
00:11:36,796 --> 00:11:38,765
Perhaps Miss Lawrence
would rather tell you.
163
00:11:38,898 --> 00:11:41,561
No... I mean, Gabe...
Where's Gabe?
164
00:11:41,701 --> 00:11:42,964
Tell me what, Leslie?
165
00:11:43,102 --> 00:11:45,264
That I'm going to
Majorca with Gabe Phillips.
166
00:11:45,405 --> 00:11:48,136
I'm sorry. I'm really sorry,
Pete. I wanted to tell you.
167
00:11:48,274 --> 00:11:50,586
I tried to tell you tonight,
but you wouldn't listen to me.
168
00:11:50,610 --> 00:11:52,010
Baby, it's a rib, isn't it?
169
00:11:52,145 --> 00:11:54,137
It isn't a rib. I'm
going away with Gabe.
170
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:58,274
And, Pete, don't make a
scene. Now please let go of me.
171
00:12:03,990 --> 00:12:06,824
Gabe, you told that
man. You told him.
172
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:08,470
Pete would have known
tomorrow, anyway.
173
00:12:08,494 --> 00:12:10,224
What'd you have
to do it that way for?
174
00:12:10,363 --> 00:12:11,956
Because you never
got around to it.
175
00:12:12,098 --> 00:12:14,124
Look, honey,
there's no easy way.
176
00:12:14,267 --> 00:12:16,429
You've got to let him have
it right between the eyes.
177
00:12:16,569 --> 00:12:18,902
Forget it. Tomorrow
we'll be long gone.
178
00:12:19,038 --> 00:12:20,973
Whether I can scrape
up all that money or not.
179
00:12:21,107 --> 00:12:23,167
Darling, let's go tonight.
Right away. Please.
180
00:12:23,309 --> 00:12:25,778
Even if we just drive
around till plane time.
181
00:12:25,912 --> 00:12:29,144
I feel so bad about Pete. And
I don't want any more scenes
182
00:12:29,282 --> 00:12:31,945
Okay.
183
00:12:32,085 --> 00:12:35,146
I don't imagine those free-loaders
will miss us too much anyway.
184
00:12:42,462 --> 00:12:44,055
Hello?
185
00:12:44,197 --> 00:12:45,324
Yes.
186
00:12:45,465 --> 00:12:47,457
No. He's busy right now.
187
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,536
No, I'm sorry. Gabe
can't come to the phone.
188
00:12:50,670 --> 00:12:52,901
Yes, I'll be glad
to take a message.
189
00:12:53,039 --> 00:12:55,702
Where? Port Harmony?
190
00:12:58,911 --> 00:13:02,279
All right, Manders. One
you're entitled to, but that's all.
191
00:13:02,348 --> 00:13:05,045
- I'm gonna beat you to a pulp!
- Oh, come on, Pete. Hold it.
192
00:13:05,184 --> 00:13:07,312
- All right.
- Come on. Now that's enough.
193
00:13:07,453 --> 00:13:09,684
I'll get even with
him, Mr. Mason.
194
00:13:09,822 --> 00:13:13,350
You wait and see.
I'm gonna fix you good.
195
00:13:15,795 --> 00:13:17,627
Sorry, Mason, but
that's the way it goes.
196
00:13:17,764 --> 00:13:19,604
Somebody wins, somebody loses.
197
00:13:19,699 --> 00:13:22,060
End of the folk show,
kids. Drinking time.
198
00:13:27,173 --> 00:13:28,471
Correct me if I'm wrong, Perry,
199
00:13:28,608 --> 00:13:32,511
but I think you could have stopped
Pete from throwing that first punch.
200
00:13:32,645 --> 00:13:36,707
As the man said, he
was entitled to one.
201
00:13:38,885 --> 00:13:40,080
What happened?
202
00:13:40,219 --> 00:13:42,313
Your boyfriend's a poor
loser. Didn't the phone ring?
203
00:13:42,455 --> 00:13:45,721
- Yes. I told him you were busy.
- Well, who was it? What did they want?
204
00:13:45,858 --> 00:13:48,020
I don't know. Someone
from Port Harmony.
205
00:13:48,161 --> 00:13:49,789
Port Harmony? A man?
206
00:13:49,929 --> 00:13:51,795
Yes. An Otto somebody.
207
00:13:51,931 --> 00:13:53,627
Was it Otto Gervaert?
Is that who it was?
208
00:13:53,766 --> 00:13:55,325
- I guess it was.
- Are you sure?
209
00:13:55,468 --> 00:13:56,868
Yes. It was Otto Gervaert.
210
00:13:57,003 --> 00:13:59,734
He said something about
meeting you in the usual place.
211
00:13:59,872 --> 00:14:02,865
Anyway, I told him
you were leaving town.
212
00:14:02,942 --> 00:14:04,706
Okay, honey, but
I've gotta go out now.
213
00:14:04,844 --> 00:14:06,779
- Now? Why?
- Unfinished business.
214
00:14:06,913 --> 00:14:09,940
I'll pick you up in plenty
of time to catch the plane.
215
00:14:10,083 --> 00:14:12,609
Gabe. Gabe.
216
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,324
Nice car.
217
00:14:56,462 --> 00:14:57,862
Philistine.
218
00:14:57,997 --> 00:15:02,230
- But a foreign car.
- I repudiate them all.
219
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:02,451
Come in.
220
00:16:08,367 --> 00:16:10,996
Shh. I think it's Otto.
221
00:16:15,341 --> 00:16:17,833
It is Otto. You see,
you were wrong, dear.
222
00:16:17,977 --> 00:16:22,073
He did come back.
223
00:16:22,215 --> 00:16:25,743
There's some man with
him. Someone just came in.
224
00:16:26,752 --> 00:16:29,381
I think I'll go have a pizza.
225
00:17:08,928 --> 00:17:11,193
Myer, I despair of you.
226
00:17:11,330 --> 00:17:14,562
A man who covets an automobile
has the soul of a hitchhiker.
227
00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:16,464
- Didn't you hear that?
- I hear only greed.
228
00:17:16,602 --> 00:17:20,505
- I see only your envy -
But it sounded like a shot.
229
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,871
I'm sure it was. Two shots.
230
00:17:23,009 --> 00:17:26,639
Does this concern
us? Does it, Myer?
231
00:17:26,779 --> 00:17:29,647
Even if someone
realized the utter futility
232
00:17:29,782 --> 00:17:32,650
and repudiated life itself?
233
00:18:04,216 --> 00:18:05,976
Della, have you got
hold of Pete Manders yet?
234
00:18:06,018 --> 00:18:08,385
No. If he is home, he's just
not answering the phone.
235
00:18:08,521 --> 00:18:10,820
See if you can find
Leslie Lawrence's number.
236
00:18:10,957 --> 00:18:13,426
Found it and
tried it. No answer.
237
00:18:13,559 --> 00:18:16,051
Maybe she and Gabe Phillips
have already left for Majorca.
238
00:18:16,195 --> 00:18:18,027
I hope so.
239
00:18:18,164 --> 00:18:21,430
Pete may have cooled off. On the
other hand, he might be looking for...
240
00:18:21,567 --> 00:18:23,126
Try Gabe's number.
241
00:18:23,269 --> 00:18:25,670
All right.
242
00:18:27,173 --> 00:18:28,664
Something happen, Perry?
243
00:18:28,808 --> 00:18:31,073
I've been talking to the
newspaper syndicate.
244
00:18:32,912 --> 00:18:34,813
Hello? I'd like to s...
245
00:18:34,947 --> 00:18:37,280
Pete? Is this you?
246
00:18:37,416 --> 00:18:39,282
Tell Pete I'm on my way.
247
00:18:40,453 --> 00:18:43,753
This is Della Street in Mr. Mason's
office. What are you doing there?
248
00:18:43,889 --> 00:18:46,188
Don't worry, Miss
Street. Phillips isn't here.
249
00:18:46,325 --> 00:18:47,884
I'm just cleaning out my desk.
250
00:18:48,027 --> 00:18:51,088
Pete, Mr. Mason's
on his way over.
251
00:18:51,230 --> 00:18:54,200
I know, but you just be a
good boy and wait there.
252
00:19:03,909 --> 00:19:05,673
Morning, Pete.
253
00:19:07,647 --> 00:19:09,639
I guess it isn't a
good morning, is it?
254
00:19:09,782 --> 00:19:11,910
But you didn't help
matters much last night.
255
00:19:12,051 --> 00:19:14,680
What should I have done,
Mr. Mason? Stiff upper lip?
256
00:19:14,820 --> 00:19:16,812
Good luck, old man?
Blessings on you both?
257
00:19:16,956 --> 00:19:19,926
I'd have broken his rotten
skull if you hadn't stopped me.
258
00:19:21,060 --> 00:19:24,030
Pete, you're too hotheaded
for your own good.
259
00:19:24,163 --> 00:19:27,109
Maybe I should've signed the paper
first. Is that what you'd have recommended?
260
00:19:27,133 --> 00:19:28,977
No. In fact, that's the
reason I came to see you...
261
00:19:29,001 --> 00:19:31,095
Just in case you
decided to be practical.
262
00:19:31,237 --> 00:19:33,331
He can take his
lousy comic strip and...
263
00:19:33,472 --> 00:19:36,101
It's not his comic strip.
264
00:19:36,242 --> 00:19:39,804
I contacted the newspaper syndicate
in New York this morning, Pete.
265
00:19:39,945 --> 00:19:41,072
Phillips lied.
266
00:19:41,213 --> 00:19:45,014
He didn't actually create the
strip, so he doesn't entirely own it.
267
00:19:45,151 --> 00:19:46,551
Then who does?
268
00:19:46,686 --> 00:19:49,918
They pay royalties to a
man named Otto Gervaert.
269
00:19:50,990 --> 00:19:53,016
That guy he bought
the painting from.
270
00:19:53,159 --> 00:19:56,152
But then why did Gabe try
to get the 10,000 out of me?
271
00:19:56,295 --> 00:19:59,026
To help finance his
trip to Majorca, I guess.
272
00:19:59,165 --> 00:20:00,976
He admitted he was shorter
of funds than he'd figured.
273
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,435
That does it. I tell
you, I'm going to...
274
00:20:03,569 --> 00:20:06,334
If I ever find that guy...
275
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:08,931
Pete, settle down.
276
00:20:10,843 --> 00:20:14,644
He's gone, isn't he? Bag and
baggage, if you excuse the expression.
277
00:20:14,780 --> 00:20:16,476
- Hello, Mr. Mason.
- How do you do?
278
00:20:16,615 --> 00:20:18,675
We haven't met. I saw
you at the party last night.
279
00:20:18,818 --> 00:20:22,277
I'm Charles Montrose. I do
Gabe's tax returns and other things.
280
00:20:22,421 --> 00:20:25,357
- He pulled out, didn't he, Pete?
- I don't know where he is.
281
00:20:25,491 --> 00:20:27,221
That crazy painting
he just bought's gone,
282
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,852
and I'll bet everything
else is, too, if it's paid for.
283
00:20:30,996 --> 00:20:34,228
Look at these. He left
everything for me to clean up.
284
00:20:34,366 --> 00:20:37,530
Bills. What am I
supposed to pay them with?
285
00:20:37,670 --> 00:20:39,730
Must be three or four
thousand dollars' worth.
286
00:20:39,872 --> 00:20:42,284
And you can bet he didn't leave
a dime in his checking account.
287
00:20:42,308 --> 00:20:44,986
Why don't you sell everything he
left behind and put it in your pocket?
288
00:20:45,010 --> 00:20:46,876
This stuff, and
that stuff in there?
289
00:20:47,012 --> 00:20:50,471
He made a down payment, nothing
more. I'll just have to send it back.
290
00:20:50,616 --> 00:20:52,346
Doesn't he own
anything outright?
291
00:20:52,485 --> 00:20:55,614
Nothing. Wait a minute. His car.
292
00:20:55,755 --> 00:20:58,333
He paid cash for that, and he
couldn't take that with him on the plane.
293
00:20:58,357 --> 00:21:00,917
I'll lay you ten to one he
sold it before he left town.
294
00:21:01,060 --> 00:21:03,256
If he did...
295
00:21:04,597 --> 00:21:08,056
You see, Mr. Mason, I'm not
the only person that loves Gabe.
296
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,931
Pete, I think now is
the time to be practical.
297
00:21:11,070 --> 00:21:13,562
The syndicate needs someone
to handle the comic strip.
298
00:21:13,706 --> 00:21:16,801
- I don't want any part of it!
- It has no connection with Phillips.
299
00:21:16,942 --> 00:21:19,878
If you can get a contract with
the syndicate or the creator
300
00:21:20,012 --> 00:21:22,652
or whoever has control, I think
you'd be very foolish not to do it.
301
00:21:26,986 --> 00:21:28,147
What's the matter?
302
00:21:31,757 --> 00:21:33,248
Monty, what's wrong?
303
00:21:56,749 --> 00:21:58,945
No... I suppose he's...
304
00:22:01,086 --> 00:22:02,748
Rigor mortis has begun.
305
00:22:02,822 --> 00:22:06,088
That means he's probably been dead for
hours, maybe even since late last night.
306
00:22:06,225 --> 00:22:08,126
No. Don't look
at me. I didn't...
307
00:22:08,260 --> 00:22:10,092
Didn't what, Pete?
308
00:22:10,229 --> 00:22:12,095
Where did you go
after you left the party?
309
00:22:12,231 --> 00:22:14,462
Home. I went home.
310
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:15,829
You live alone?
311
00:22:15,968 --> 00:22:19,268
Yes, all... alone.
312
00:22:25,644 --> 00:22:28,045
- Miss Leslie Lawrence?
- Yes. What is it?
313
00:22:28,180 --> 00:22:30,649
My name's Paul Drake.
I'm working for Perry Mason.
314
00:22:30,783 --> 00:22:33,028
- I understand you two met last night.
- Oh, just briefly.
315
00:22:33,052 --> 00:22:35,112
I'm sorry, Mr. Drake,
but I'm very busy.
316
00:22:35,254 --> 00:22:36,916
Packing for your trip?
317
00:22:37,056 --> 00:22:38,854
Really, Mr. Drake.
318
00:22:38,991 --> 00:22:41,483
I'm sorry, Miss Lawrence,
but it's been called.
319
00:22:41,627 --> 00:22:43,323
Gabe Phillips was
murdered last night.
320
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,290
The Lawrence girl
says she took the call
321
00:23:16,428 --> 00:23:19,398
while Phillips was
wrestling with your client.
322
00:23:19,531 --> 00:23:21,523
That'd be around 10:30.
323
00:23:21,667 --> 00:23:23,932
How long after that did
Phillips leave the apartment?
324
00:23:24,069 --> 00:23:25,469
Right away. She
said he turned white
325
00:23:25,537 --> 00:23:27,938
at the name of Otto
Gervaert and just rushed out.
326
00:23:28,073 --> 00:23:31,669
Pete swore he saw Phillips
drive off, so that much checks out.
327
00:23:31,810 --> 00:23:34,871
He could have waited for Phillips
to get back from Port Harmony.
328
00:23:35,014 --> 00:23:37,813
A round trip takes four
hours, Paul. It'd be a long wait.
329
00:23:37,950 --> 00:23:41,114
All right. So he went
home, brooded half the night,
330
00:23:41,253 --> 00:23:43,620
came back and shot Phillips
as he got out of the car.
331
00:23:43,756 --> 00:23:45,554
That's the way it
looks to the police.
332
00:23:45,691 --> 00:23:47,469
I take it he doesn't have
much in the way of an alibi.
333
00:23:47,493 --> 00:23:49,428
None at all.
334
00:23:49,561 --> 00:23:52,224
So, what do you expect
to find in Port Harmony?
335
00:23:52,364 --> 00:23:54,333
Blackmailer perhaps.
336
00:24:08,213 --> 00:24:10,444
Well, this is where the guy
in the bar thinks he lives.
337
00:24:10,582 --> 00:24:13,347
Well, let's see if
Mr. Gervaert is at home.
338
00:24:23,562 --> 00:24:25,807
I wonder if you could tell us
where to find Otto Gervaert.
339
00:24:25,831 --> 00:24:27,424
Are you from the police?
340
00:24:27,566 --> 00:24:29,660
No. I'm a lawyer. My
name is Perry Mason.
341
00:24:29,802 --> 00:24:31,737
Oh, dear. Well, I'm
Miss Daphne Whilom.
342
00:24:31,870 --> 00:24:33,830
How do you do, Miss
Whilom? And this is Mr. Drake.
343
00:24:33,939 --> 00:24:36,568
How do you do? Why did
you think we were the police?
344
00:24:36,709 --> 00:24:38,473
Well, I can't imagine.
345
00:24:38,610 --> 00:24:40,602
I really don't
know why I said it.
346
00:24:40,746 --> 00:24:42,180
Otto isn't here.
347
00:24:43,248 --> 00:24:45,114
Do you know where we
can find him, Miss Whilom?
348
00:24:45,250 --> 00:24:46,741
Oh, dear me, no.
349
00:24:46,885 --> 00:24:49,252
He might be out on the
desert or up in the hills.
350
00:24:49,388 --> 00:24:51,914
He never tells
anyone where he goes,
351
00:24:52,057 --> 00:24:54,288
like all great painters.
352
00:24:54,426 --> 00:24:55,621
Do you know his work?
353
00:24:55,761 --> 00:24:59,323
I've seen one of his
canvasses. When did he leave?
354
00:24:59,465 --> 00:25:01,798
Well, I couldn't say.
355
00:25:01,934 --> 00:25:04,335
I have more to do
than to try to track down
356
00:25:04,403 --> 00:25:06,702
the goings and
comings of my tenants.
357
00:25:06,839 --> 00:25:10,003
It was last night, wasn't it, right
about the time he had a visitor?
358
00:25:10,142 --> 00:25:11,166
Well, how did you know?
359
00:25:11,310 --> 00:25:13,321
I think you'd better tell us
what happened, Miss Whilom.
360
00:25:13,345 --> 00:25:17,112
Well, some man came to see
him. I think he was from Hollywood.
361
00:25:17,249 --> 00:25:18,342
Did you see this man?
362
00:25:18,484 --> 00:25:20,715
Oh, no. But I
heard them talking.
363
00:25:20,853 --> 00:25:24,017
My apartment is right
above Otto's studio.
364
00:25:24,156 --> 00:25:26,625
Oh, they were
quarreling just violently.
365
00:25:26,759 --> 00:25:30,719
I don't know what it was
about, but it was just terrible.
366
00:25:30,863 --> 00:25:32,889
And then...
367
00:25:33,032 --> 00:25:34,364
Then what?
368
00:25:34,500 --> 00:25:37,664
Oh, dear, I suppose
I must tell someone.
369
00:25:37,803 --> 00:25:40,034
I heard two shots fired.
370
00:25:40,172 --> 00:25:43,301
Two shots? You're
positive there were two?
371
00:25:43,442 --> 00:25:45,707
Oh, yes. I heard them plainly.
372
00:25:45,844 --> 00:25:47,813
And then the man ran away.
373
00:25:47,946 --> 00:25:52,509
I've been trying to get up nerve all
morning to look into Otto's studio.
374
00:25:52,651 --> 00:25:54,847
Would you care to?
375
00:25:54,987 --> 00:25:58,287
I think you'd better call the
police, Miss Whilom, right away.
376
00:25:58,424 --> 00:26:00,825
Call the police. Yes.
377
00:26:05,330 --> 00:26:07,265
Aren't you going to take a look?
378
00:26:07,399 --> 00:26:09,391
Not until the police get here.
379
00:26:09,535 --> 00:26:12,664
Phillips was shot in the
stomach, Paul. Just once.
380
00:26:12,805 --> 00:26:14,205
So the other shot missed.
381
00:26:14,339 --> 00:26:15,602
I wonder if it did.
382
00:26:15,741 --> 00:26:17,381
You think Otto
Gervaert's still in there?
383
00:26:17,443 --> 00:26:20,277
If he is, I want the
local police to find him.
384
00:26:28,821 --> 00:26:31,484
I don't see anything
that looks like a body.
385
00:26:36,028 --> 00:26:37,963
Blood.
386
00:26:38,097 --> 00:26:41,158
Somebody sure got
themselves hurt here last night.
387
00:26:41,300 --> 00:26:42,859
I don't mean just a nose bleed.
388
00:26:43,001 --> 00:26:46,995
Care to enlighten the
small-town cops, Mr. Mason?
389
00:26:47,139 --> 00:26:49,301
A man named Gabe
Phillips in Hollywood
390
00:26:49,441 --> 00:26:51,535
received a telephone call
from Gervaert last night.
391
00:26:51,677 --> 00:26:53,043
Phillips left to come up here.
392
00:26:53,178 --> 00:26:55,374
I'd say he got
here, wouldn't you?
393
00:26:56,415 --> 00:26:58,441
Well, there's no
proof that he did.
394
00:26:58,584 --> 00:27:02,385
But Gervaert's landlady said that
he'd been quarreling with some man,
395
00:27:02,454 --> 00:27:04,286
and then later she
heard two shots.
396
00:27:04,423 --> 00:27:06,187
Well, from the looks of that,
397
00:27:06,325 --> 00:27:08,726
one of 'em was shot,
the other ran away.
398
00:27:08,861 --> 00:27:10,295
There's no proof of that either.
399
00:27:10,429 --> 00:27:15,163
Phillips was found dead in his
garage this morning, in Hollywood.
400
00:27:15,300 --> 00:27:18,031
That's a long ways to
go with a bullet in you.
401
00:27:18,170 --> 00:27:20,105
Well, at least we know
which one to look for.
402
00:27:20,239 --> 00:27:22,299
I'll check with the L.A.
police. In the meantime,
403
00:27:22,441 --> 00:27:24,307
I'll put out a pickup
for Otto Gervaert.
404
00:27:33,952 --> 00:27:35,284
Perry.
405
00:27:39,258 --> 00:27:41,693
- Perry Mason, Miss Fiona Cregan.
- Hello.
406
00:27:41,827 --> 00:27:44,456
Miss Cregan is a
friend of Gervaert's.
407
00:27:44,596 --> 00:27:45,859
I was his girl.
408
00:27:45,998 --> 00:27:49,491
She saw a man running out of
the house right after the shots.
409
00:27:50,636 --> 00:27:52,764
Did you see him well
enough to identify him?
410
00:27:54,673 --> 00:27:56,471
I think so,
411
00:27:56,608 --> 00:27:58,941
if I ever saw him again.
412
00:27:59,077 --> 00:28:02,673
He wore a loud sort of jacket.
413
00:28:03,849 --> 00:28:06,876
Yeah, I think I could.
414
00:28:07,019 --> 00:28:11,252
She gave me a description.
It was Phillips, all right.
415
00:28:14,326 --> 00:28:15,760
Save your breath, Counselor.
416
00:28:15,894 --> 00:28:19,126
I know the police in Port Harmony think
Phillips was shot by some local artist,
417
00:28:19,264 --> 00:28:22,184
but personally, I'm not convinced
Phillips even left Hollywood last night.
418
00:28:22,267 --> 00:28:23,735
Wait a minute, Andy.
419
00:28:23,869 --> 00:28:26,270
Let me introduce
Miss Fiona Cregan.
420
00:28:26,405 --> 00:28:29,102
She saw Phillips in
Port Harmony last night.
421
00:28:29,241 --> 00:28:32,143
Saw him leave Otto Gervaert's
studio after the shots were fired.
422
00:28:32,277 --> 00:28:34,303
Saw Phillips?
423
00:28:34,446 --> 00:28:36,938
Let's go take a
look at the body.
424
00:28:37,082 --> 00:28:38,812
You don't mind, do
you, Miss Cregan?
425
00:28:44,389 --> 00:28:47,291
Yes, that's the
man I saw last night.
426
00:28:47,426 --> 00:28:49,520
You're positive?
427
00:28:49,661 --> 00:28:51,755
I ought to know. I was his girl.
428
00:28:53,298 --> 00:28:54,994
You were Phillips' girl, too?
429
00:28:56,034 --> 00:28:58,265
No. Otto Gervaert's.
430
00:28:58,403 --> 00:29:00,269
But this man is Gabe Phillips.
431
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,535
Maybe that's what he
called himself in Hollywood.
432
00:29:05,844 --> 00:29:09,940
Up in Port Harmony, he
was known as Otto Gervaert.
433
00:29:11,617 --> 00:29:14,451
Andy, I'd say it
changes everything.
434
00:29:14,586 --> 00:29:17,681
That girl must have guessed it
when she saw Phillips last night.
435
00:29:17,823 --> 00:29:19,553
Mmm. Well, with
his hair cut short,
436
00:29:19,691 --> 00:29:21,956
and Gervaert never used
to wear anything but jeans.
437
00:29:22,094 --> 00:29:23,892
He used to disappear
for weeks at a time.
438
00:29:24,029 --> 00:29:28,194
Andy, a double identity
isn't that easy to hide.
439
00:29:28,333 --> 00:29:30,268
There must've been
others who guessed.
440
00:29:30,402 --> 00:29:32,268
If the murder did
take place up there,
441
00:29:32,404 --> 00:29:34,373
it must have been someone
in Port Harmony who...
442
00:29:34,506 --> 00:29:36,441
Perry, I'd say this
changes nothing.
443
00:29:36,575 --> 00:29:39,511
Oh, but you're right about it being
someone who was up in Port Harmony.
444
00:29:39,645 --> 00:29:42,125
I thought we had plenty of
evidence against your client before.
445
00:29:42,247 --> 00:29:44,307
But now? Here.
446
00:29:44,449 --> 00:29:46,384
Take a look at this.
447
00:29:46,518 --> 00:29:50,250
A gasoline receipt from a service
station in Port Harmony, dated yesterday.
448
00:29:50,389 --> 00:29:53,223
The attendant says
signed late last night.
449
00:29:54,826 --> 00:29:56,886
Pete Manders.
450
00:30:04,236 --> 00:30:06,228
Raise your right hand.
451
00:30:06,371 --> 00:30:09,341
Take a good look
at that girl, Pete.
452
00:30:09,474 --> 00:30:11,194
Did you see her on
the night of the murder?
453
00:30:11,310 --> 00:30:14,872
How could I? I told you, I
never got near that old house.
454
00:30:15,013 --> 00:30:17,573
You also told me you
went home after the party.
455
00:30:17,716 --> 00:30:22,347
Now, Miss Cregan, how long
had you known the deceased?
456
00:30:22,487 --> 00:30:25,423
Ever since I came to
Port Harmony. Six years.
457
00:30:25,557 --> 00:30:27,753
And you had a very
close friendship with him?
458
00:30:29,328 --> 00:30:32,321
I was his girl,
when he was there.
459
00:30:32,464 --> 00:30:34,330
But you did know
about this masquerade,
460
00:30:34,466 --> 00:30:36,799
this other existence
of his in Hollywood
461
00:30:36,935 --> 00:30:40,030
where he was known
as Gabe Phillips?
462
00:30:40,172 --> 00:30:43,870
I only knew he'd
met another woman.
463
00:30:44,009 --> 00:30:46,478
Now, Miss Cregan, would
you please tell the court
464
00:30:46,611 --> 00:30:48,944
what you saw the
night of the murder.
465
00:30:50,148 --> 00:30:52,344
Well, I was walking
down the street,
466
00:30:52,484 --> 00:30:55,511
and I saw Otto come
running out of this house,
467
00:30:55,654 --> 00:30:57,714
and he was staggering.
468
00:30:57,856 --> 00:30:59,222
I thought he was drunk.
469
00:30:59,358 --> 00:31:01,293
You're sure it was
Otto Gervaert?
470
00:31:01,426 --> 00:31:03,418
Oh, yes. He was
wearing different clothes.
471
00:31:03,495 --> 00:31:05,088
He had his hair cut short.
472
00:31:05,230 --> 00:31:07,961
Of course, at that time, I knew
nothing about Gabe Phillips,
473
00:31:08,100 --> 00:31:10,501
but I recognized it
was really Otto, all right.
474
00:31:10,635 --> 00:31:12,968
- Did you speak to him?
- No.
475
00:31:13,105 --> 00:31:15,336
No? Why not?
476
00:31:15,474 --> 00:31:17,306
I mean, why didn't
you approach him?
477
00:31:18,477 --> 00:31:21,037
Well, he'd left me. I never
wanted to see him again.
478
00:31:21,179 --> 00:31:24,115
Oh. Well, thank
you, Miss Cregan.
479
00:31:24,249 --> 00:31:26,548
Cross-examine, Mr. Mason?
480
00:31:31,156 --> 00:31:34,490
Miss Cregan, approximately
what time was it
481
00:31:34,626 --> 00:31:36,925
when you saw the decedent
run out of the house?
482
00:31:37,062 --> 00:31:39,725
After midnight, I guess.
483
00:31:39,865 --> 00:31:41,663
Maybe later.
484
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:43,564
You were alone?
485
00:31:43,702 --> 00:31:46,570
Yes. I'd been out
to have a pizza.
486
00:31:46,705 --> 00:31:50,107
When I saw Otto, I
walked off the other way.
487
00:31:50,242 --> 00:31:53,178
I take it you were jealous of
this other woman in his life?
488
00:31:53,311 --> 00:31:55,007
Perhaps.
489
00:31:55,147 --> 00:31:58,447
- And you were angry with Otto?
- I suppose so.
490
00:31:58,583 --> 00:32:02,179
Did you ever get so angry with him
that you made a threat against his life?
491
00:32:03,455 --> 00:32:04,787
I don't remember.
492
00:32:08,393 --> 00:32:11,795
From the amount of blood and the statements
from the landlady about those shots,
493
00:32:11,930 --> 00:32:14,126
I figured somebody had
been murdered in that studio.
494
00:32:15,233 --> 00:32:17,702
And how did you proceed
then, Sergeant Buck?
495
00:32:17,836 --> 00:32:19,805
On the assumption
that this artist Gervaert
496
00:32:19,938 --> 00:32:21,873
had shot Gabe Phillips
and then ran away.
497
00:32:22,007 --> 00:32:23,807
And it was not until
later that you discovered
498
00:32:23,942 --> 00:32:27,879
that Otto Gervaert was
in fact Gabe Phillips?
499
00:32:28,013 --> 00:32:30,642
Your Honor, the
proper identification
500
00:32:30,782 --> 00:32:34,651
would be that Gabe Phillips
was in fact Otto Gervaert.
501
00:32:34,786 --> 00:32:36,687
Of course.
502
00:32:37,689 --> 00:32:39,419
Go on, Sergeant.
503
00:32:39,558 --> 00:32:42,619
Well, anyway, when it turned out
the murder took place in Port Harmony,
504
00:32:42,761 --> 00:32:45,424
the L.A. police turned
over their evidence to us.
505
00:32:46,531 --> 00:32:49,057
My name is Charles Montrose,
and I'm a tax accountant.
506
00:32:49,201 --> 00:32:51,466
And the deceased
was one of your clients?
507
00:32:51,603 --> 00:32:53,435
Yes, I took care of his taxes
508
00:32:53,572 --> 00:32:56,872
from the time he started making
big money with the comic strip, Zingy.
509
00:32:58,477 --> 00:33:01,003
I now show you a revolver
which has been identified
510
00:33:01,146 --> 00:33:03,012
as the weapon which
killed Gabe Phillips.
511
00:33:03,081 --> 00:33:05,107
Objection.
512
00:33:06,618 --> 00:33:09,110
Your Honor, the murdered
man's name was Otto Gervaert.
513
00:33:09,254 --> 00:33:11,814
The defense counsel is
quite right, Your Honor.
514
00:33:11,957 --> 00:33:14,085
But since the witness
on the stand now
515
00:33:14,226 --> 00:33:16,024
knew the deceased
only as Gabe Phillips,
516
00:33:16,161 --> 00:33:19,893
I think it would be less confusing
to refer to him by that name.
517
00:33:20,031 --> 00:33:23,729
I think I understand the reason
for your objection, Mr. Mason,
518
00:33:23,869 --> 00:33:27,636
but in the interest of clarity, I'm
going to overrule you for the moment.
519
00:33:27,772 --> 00:33:31,072
Thank you, Your Honor.
Do you recognize the gun?
520
00:33:32,377 --> 00:33:33,675
Yeah. Yes, sir.
521
00:33:33,812 --> 00:33:35,542
It belonged to Gabe Phillips.
522
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:37,808
He kept it in a
drawer in his desk.
523
00:33:37,949 --> 00:33:39,474
Was that generally known?
524
00:33:39,618 --> 00:33:41,780
All the cartoonists who
worked there knew about it.
525
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:45,152
Was the defendant, Pete
Manders, one of those cartoonists?
526
00:33:46,157 --> 00:33:47,523
He was.
527
00:33:47,659 --> 00:33:49,560
Now, how long had you been aware
528
00:33:49,694 --> 00:33:52,027
of Gabe Phillips' intended
departure for Majorca?
529
00:33:53,198 --> 00:33:55,959
A couple of days. I made out
a check for the plane tickets.
530
00:33:56,001 --> 00:33:57,578
To whom were
those tickets issued?
531
00:33:57,602 --> 00:33:59,901
One was made out
in Gabe Phillips' name.
532
00:34:00,038 --> 00:34:03,031
And the other one?
533
00:34:03,108 --> 00:34:05,077
Miss Leslie Lawrence.
534
00:34:05,210 --> 00:34:06,769
Thank you, Mr. Montrose.
535
00:34:06,912 --> 00:34:09,381
Do you wish to
cross-examine, Mr. Mason?
536
00:34:12,884 --> 00:34:15,854
Mr. Montrose, were
you aware that your client
537
00:34:15,987 --> 00:34:18,513
was actually Otto Gervaert, a
painter living in Port Harmony?
538
00:34:18,657 --> 00:34:19,852
No, sir.
539
00:34:19,991 --> 00:34:22,471
You could've knocked me over
when I read about it in the paper.
540
00:34:23,328 --> 00:34:26,389
You had no intimation of
it from his financial affairs?
541
00:34:26,531 --> 00:34:28,557
That's right. Nobody
knew about it.
542
00:34:28,700 --> 00:34:32,660
But you prepared Gervaert's
tax forms in Hollywood.
543
00:34:32,804 --> 00:34:34,636
What about his tax
returns in Port Harmony?
544
00:34:34,773 --> 00:34:36,708
I'm going to have to
object here, Your Honor.
545
00:34:36,841 --> 00:34:39,037
It's already been agreed
that the witness on the stand
546
00:34:39,177 --> 00:34:41,612
knew the deceased
only as Gabe Phillips.
547
00:34:41,746 --> 00:34:43,824
If it please the court, I think
we're dealing here with the question
548
00:34:43,848 --> 00:34:46,283
of who was actually
murdered, Gervaert or Phillips.
549
00:34:46,418 --> 00:34:48,284
A corpse by any
name is just as dead.
550
00:34:48,420 --> 00:34:51,879
I don't think we need
any levity, Mr. Clark.
551
00:34:52,023 --> 00:34:54,185
Both of you gentlemen
will approach the bench.
552
00:34:58,463 --> 00:34:59,590
You first, Mr. Mason.
553
00:34:59,731 --> 00:35:04,499
Your Honor, the murder occurred
in the residence of Otto Gervaert.
554
00:35:04,569 --> 00:35:07,061
It happened in the
domicile of Otto Gervaert.
555
00:35:07,205 --> 00:35:09,606
It's a reasonable assumption,
therefore, that the murderer
556
00:35:09,741 --> 00:35:12,939
committed the crime against a
man known to him only by that name.
557
00:35:13,078 --> 00:35:15,877
In other words, that the
murderer was someone
558
00:35:16,014 --> 00:35:18,347
among his Port
Harmony associates.
559
00:35:18,483 --> 00:35:20,963
The purpose of this hearing,
Your Honor, is to present evidence
560
00:35:21,086 --> 00:35:24,181
that Pete Manders killed
Gabe Phillips and nobody else.
561
00:35:24,322 --> 00:35:26,917
Now, what defense counselor
could possibly want by...
562
00:35:27,058 --> 00:35:29,687
What I want is the
opportunity to cross-examine
563
00:35:29,828 --> 00:35:31,524
Gervaert's associates
in the art colony.
564
00:35:31,663 --> 00:35:33,291
It is not what
defense counsel wants
565
00:35:33,431 --> 00:35:35,764
that should control the
prosecution, Your Honor,
566
00:35:35,900 --> 00:35:38,699
but what is required for an
orderly presentation of the case.
567
00:35:40,438 --> 00:35:43,897
I think we'll proceed on the
basis of the State's presentation,
568
00:35:44,042 --> 00:35:46,671
with no further
quibbling over the name.
569
00:35:46,811 --> 00:35:47,811
That understood?
570
00:35:52,217 --> 00:35:54,584
Yes, I fell in love
with Gabe Phillips.
571
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,484
It proved to be rather an
awkward situation, because,
572
00:35:57,622 --> 00:36:00,456
well, I'd been going
around with Mr. Manders.
573
00:36:00,592 --> 00:36:02,561
In fact, he was telling
people we were engaged.
574
00:36:02,627 --> 00:36:06,086
When did the defendant discover
how you really felt about him?
575
00:36:06,231 --> 00:36:08,200
Oh, that night at the party.
576
00:36:08,333 --> 00:36:11,497
Gabe and I were leaving
the next day for Majorca.
577
00:36:11,636 --> 00:36:13,332
We were planning
to be married there.
578
00:36:13,471 --> 00:36:16,373
And that was when the
defendant became so upset?
579
00:36:16,508 --> 00:36:18,739
Yes, that's right. It
was then that Pete...
580
00:36:18,877 --> 00:36:23,474
I mean, Mr. Manders hit Mr. Phillips
and made all those threats.
581
00:36:25,984 --> 00:36:29,751
This is a receipt of
13½ gallons of gasoline.
582
00:36:29,888 --> 00:36:31,488
I filled it out the
night of the murder.
583
00:36:31,589 --> 00:36:33,148
Close to midnight, I guess.
584
00:36:33,291 --> 00:36:36,887
Do you see the man who bought
gas from you here in the courtroom?
585
00:36:37,896 --> 00:36:40,593
Yes, sir. That's
him, the defendant.
586
00:36:43,968 --> 00:36:47,063
Uh, they were having
this terrible quarrel.
587
00:36:47,205 --> 00:36:50,698
Their voices came up the
flue from Otto's fireplace.
588
00:36:50,842 --> 00:36:52,936
Then you did
recognize the voices?
589
00:36:54,179 --> 00:36:57,047
Yes. Otto's. I'd
know that anywhere.
590
00:36:57,182 --> 00:37:00,380
But the other man? No,
I didn't know his voice.
591
00:37:00,518 --> 00:37:03,181
Can you tell us
anything specifically
592
00:37:03,254 --> 00:37:06,053
about which you heard them
quarrelling, Miss Whilom?
593
00:37:06,191 --> 00:37:08,956
Well, I only heard
snatches, of course,
594
00:37:09,094 --> 00:37:13,031
but this other man seemed
to be very angry with Otto.
595
00:37:13,164 --> 00:37:14,689
About what?
596
00:37:14,833 --> 00:37:16,768
Well, I couldn't make it out.
597
00:37:16,901 --> 00:37:21,134
- Otto said something about Leslie.
- Leslie?
598
00:37:21,272 --> 00:37:25,004
I heard him say "Leslie,"
and then came the shots.
599
00:37:27,078 --> 00:37:29,274
Thank you, Miss Whilom.
600
00:37:29,414 --> 00:37:31,610
Cross-examine, Mr. Mason.
601
00:37:34,986 --> 00:37:39,151
Miss Whilom, how long had
you known Otto Gervaert?
602
00:37:40,592 --> 00:37:44,495
Ever since he came to Port
Harmony, about six years ago.
603
00:37:44,629 --> 00:37:46,723
Was he a successful
painter at that time?
604
00:37:46,865 --> 00:37:49,061
Oh, no. He hadn't
been discovered.
605
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:52,432
But I recognized
his talents instantly.
606
00:37:52,570 --> 00:37:57,338
In my house, Otto Gervaert became
the greatest painter in America.
607
00:37:57,475 --> 00:37:59,910
I sat at his feet.
608
00:38:00,044 --> 00:38:02,104
And yet, Miss
Whilom, you heard Otto
609
00:38:02,180 --> 00:38:04,206
having a violent quarrel
with an unknown man,
610
00:38:04,349 --> 00:38:05,874
a quarrel followed by two shots,
611
00:38:06,017 --> 00:38:07,781
and you didn't go
downstairs to investigate?
612
00:38:08,787 --> 00:38:12,019
Well, I was frightened.
I was all alone.
613
00:38:12,157 --> 00:38:13,837
Of course you were
frightened, Miss Whilom.
614
00:38:13,925 --> 00:38:15,917
But he was your friend.
615
00:38:16,060 --> 00:38:17,986
Now, do you want us
to believe that you were
616
00:38:18,010 --> 00:38:19,827
so frightened you did
absolutely nothing?
617
00:38:19,964 --> 00:38:21,933
Well, not right away.
618
00:38:22,066 --> 00:38:24,626
A moment or two later,
then. You still did nothing?
619
00:38:24,769 --> 00:38:27,261
Well, the studio was
empty. He was gone.
620
00:38:27,405 --> 00:38:29,931
Then you did go
downstairs to investigate.
621
00:38:30,074 --> 00:38:32,134
He wasn't there. No one was.
622
00:38:32,277 --> 00:38:34,109
And knowing he
might've been wounded,
623
00:38:34,245 --> 00:38:36,407
possibly even dying,
624
00:38:36,548 --> 00:38:38,308
you weren't concerned
enough to look further?
625
00:38:38,416 --> 00:38:40,282
To call someone to
help you look further?
626
00:38:40,418 --> 00:38:42,114
The hall was empty.
627
00:38:42,253 --> 00:38:44,415
Not a soul downstairs.
628
00:38:44,556 --> 00:38:45,819
What about the street?
629
00:38:45,957 --> 00:38:47,517
There was no one
in the street, either.
630
00:38:47,592 --> 00:38:50,494
- No one else's car.
- No one else's car?
631
00:38:50,628 --> 00:38:53,462
What about Otto's
car, Miss Whilom?
632
00:38:53,598 --> 00:38:56,534
Was his car still in the street
when you ran outside for help?
633
00:38:56,668 --> 00:38:58,899
Yes, he was in his car.
634
00:38:59,037 --> 00:39:01,973
But nothing could've
been done for him.
635
00:39:02,106 --> 00:39:04,200
He was already dead.
636
00:39:04,342 --> 00:39:06,607
Now, Miss Whilom,
637
00:39:06,744 --> 00:39:08,224
will you please
explain to this court
638
00:39:08,313 --> 00:39:11,750
how a dead man drove his
car all the way to Hollywood,
639
00:39:11,883 --> 00:39:14,785
120 miles away?
640
00:39:30,034 --> 00:39:33,664
I just can't picture Miss Whilom driving
a dead body all the way to Hollywood.
641
00:39:33,805 --> 00:39:36,969
Well, somebody did.
The question is why?
642
00:39:37,108 --> 00:39:39,907
I think it has to do
with the dual identities.
643
00:39:40,044 --> 00:39:43,606
Somebody in Port Harmony wanted
the corpse to be Phillips, not Gervaert.
644
00:39:43,748 --> 00:39:46,377
Then the murderer must be
somebody here in Port Harmony.
645
00:39:46,517 --> 00:39:48,247
No, not necessarily.
646
00:39:48,386 --> 00:39:50,006
One of Phillips' Hollywood
friends could have
647
00:39:50,030 --> 00:39:51,565
faked that phone call
to lure him up here.
648
00:39:51,589 --> 00:39:52,933
Then, if he'd been
murdered as Gervaert,
649
00:39:52,957 --> 00:39:55,002
there'd be nothing to connect
him with the Hollywood crowd.
650
00:39:55,026 --> 00:39:56,670
What about those
tax records, Paul?
651
00:39:56,694 --> 00:39:59,106
Phillips had copies in his
apartment, and I got photostats.
652
00:39:59,130 --> 00:40:01,759
Also a bank statement.
They're all here.
653
00:40:01,900 --> 00:40:04,131
Now see what you can find
on Gervaert's private papers.
654
00:40:04,269 --> 00:40:07,637
That's not so easy. In Hollywood,
Phillips had a real efficient operation.
655
00:40:07,772 --> 00:40:10,742
By the looks of Gervaert's studio,
up here he kept house like a slob.
656
00:40:10,875 --> 00:40:12,366
Well, you can try.
657
00:40:12,510 --> 00:40:15,503
I also want you to check with
the Department of Motor Vehicles.
658
00:40:17,448 --> 00:40:22,250
Yes, Your Honor, I'm ready
to answer questions now.
659
00:40:22,387 --> 00:40:24,515
All right, Mr. Mason, proceed.
660
00:40:25,790 --> 00:40:29,192
Let's pick up where we left
off yesterday, Miss Whilom.
661
00:40:30,194 --> 00:40:33,756
Now, would you
please tell this court,
662
00:40:33,898 --> 00:40:37,300
who transported the
decedent's body to Hollywood?
663
00:40:38,303 --> 00:40:40,534
I did, Mr. Mason.
664
00:40:40,672 --> 00:40:42,470
You have a driver's license?
665
00:40:42,607 --> 00:40:44,235
No.
666
00:40:44,375 --> 00:40:50,144
Miss Whilom, isn't it true
that you've never driven a car?
667
00:40:50,281 --> 00:40:54,309
No, that's not true. I
drove my father's car.
668
00:40:54,452 --> 00:40:57,047
When? How many years ago?
669
00:40:59,991 --> 00:41:01,755
All right, Miss Whilom.
670
00:41:01,893 --> 00:41:05,022
We'll go on to your reason
for wanting the body moved.
671
00:41:05,096 --> 00:41:07,565
You did it to protect
someone, didn't you?
672
00:41:07,699 --> 00:41:08,699
No.
673
00:41:08,766 --> 00:41:11,827
I just didn't want any
scandal here in Port Harmony.
674
00:41:11,970 --> 00:41:13,962
When you saw the
decedent's body,
675
00:41:14,105 --> 00:41:16,506
you were afraid Miss Cregan
had killed him, isn't that right?
676
00:41:16,641 --> 00:41:17,870
No!
677
00:41:18,009 --> 00:41:19,773
She'd been jilted by Gervaert.
678
00:41:19,911 --> 00:41:21,436
She was angry and jealous.
679
00:41:21,579 --> 00:41:24,048
So you had his body taken
to the apartment in Hollywood
680
00:41:24,182 --> 00:41:26,447
where he was known
as Gabe Phillips,
681
00:41:26,584 --> 00:41:29,418
hoping no connection would be
made with his other identity here.
682
00:41:30,655 --> 00:41:32,214
Isn't that true, Miss Whilom?
683
00:41:33,257 --> 00:41:35,158
Well, isn't it?
684
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:39,619
Your Honor, I will call
Alexander Glovatski to the stand.
685
00:41:46,804 --> 00:41:47,717
Raise your right hand.
686
00:41:47,741 --> 00:41:49,116
Here's some papers
you'll find interesting
687
00:41:49,140 --> 00:41:51,820
and a list of everything in his
studio, which just proves one thing.
688
00:41:51,909 --> 00:41:54,242
- What's that, Paul?
- Gervaert was a slob.
689
00:41:54,379 --> 00:41:56,109
Alexander Glovatski.
690
00:41:56,247 --> 00:41:58,341
Be seated.
691
00:41:58,483 --> 00:42:00,975
Mr. Glovatski, did
you transport the body
692
00:42:01,119 --> 00:42:03,918
of the deceased to the garage
of his Hollywood apartment?
693
00:42:03,988 --> 00:42:05,513
Indubitably.
694
00:42:05,656 --> 00:42:07,090
Upon whose request?
695
00:42:07,225 --> 00:42:08,225
Daphne's.
696
00:42:08,359 --> 00:42:11,420
You refer to the previous
witness, Daphne Whilom?
697
00:42:11,562 --> 00:42:13,622
The same.
698
00:42:13,765 --> 00:42:16,200
Thank you. No further questions.
699
00:42:20,238 --> 00:42:23,902
Mr. Glovatski, you're
aware that the prosecutor
700
00:42:24,042 --> 00:42:26,136
has just used you to
impeach his own witness?
701
00:42:26,277 --> 00:42:28,872
I am aware of the
truth of what I say.
702
00:42:29,013 --> 00:42:31,983
Do you know that tampering
with evidence is a felony?
703
00:42:32,116 --> 00:42:34,517
These are words for lawyers.
704
00:42:34,652 --> 00:42:36,086
And what is a jail for?
705
00:42:36,220 --> 00:42:38,519
The world is a jail.
706
00:42:38,656 --> 00:42:42,024
But you were aware of what
you were doing, were you not?
707
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:43,890
I did it.
708
00:42:44,028 --> 00:42:48,898
You must have had a very compelling reason
to agree to the committing of such an act.
709
00:42:49,033 --> 00:42:51,901
What was it? Money?
Did Miss Whilom pay you?
710
00:42:52,036 --> 00:42:54,335
I have no use for money.
711
00:42:54,472 --> 00:42:56,202
Don't you?
712
00:42:56,340 --> 00:42:58,775
You're a sculptor, I
believe, Mr. Glovatski.
713
00:42:58,910 --> 00:43:01,402
Have you ever sold
any of your works?
714
00:43:01,546 --> 00:43:04,573
I am an artist, not a peddler.
715
00:43:04,649 --> 00:43:05,810
Then how do you live?
716
00:43:09,287 --> 00:43:13,782
Mr. Glovatski, why were you
willing to transport a dead body?
717
00:43:13,925 --> 00:43:16,292
Because Gervaert
had betrayed his talent.
718
00:43:16,427 --> 00:43:19,454
He sold his birthright
to the money changers.
719
00:43:19,597 --> 00:43:23,591
I eradicated his presence
from the temple of the arts.
720
00:43:23,734 --> 00:43:26,135
Do you expect
this court to belie...
721
00:43:32,076 --> 00:43:33,806
No, of course you don't.
722
00:43:33,945 --> 00:43:35,846
That's all for now.
723
00:43:42,253 --> 00:43:44,688
Well, our newspaper
syndicate paid Gabe Phillips
724
00:43:44,822 --> 00:43:49,351
about $100,000 a year to
manage and draw the comic strip.
725
00:43:49,494 --> 00:43:52,293
Of course, we paid
a royalty of 40,000
726
00:43:52,430 --> 00:43:55,400
to the man Phillips said had
created the character of Zingy.
727
00:43:55,533 --> 00:43:56,933
To Otto Gervaert, that is.
728
00:43:57,068 --> 00:43:59,902
Can you tell us how much the
defendant, Pete Manders, received?
729
00:44:00,037 --> 00:44:04,702
As Phillips' senior artist, his salary was
approximately $10,000 a year, I believe.
730
00:44:04,775 --> 00:44:08,143
In the event of death or
disabling injury to Gabe Phillips,
731
00:44:08,279 --> 00:44:10,077
had your syndicate
made any plans
732
00:44:10,214 --> 00:44:13,616
to have some other man continue
drawing and managing the strip?
733
00:44:13,751 --> 00:44:16,778
We'd taken that precaution,
yes. In fact, we'd discussed it
734
00:44:16,921 --> 00:44:18,287
with both Phillips and Manders.
735
00:44:18,422 --> 00:44:20,701
Manders was to take over in
the event of any such contingency.
736
00:44:20,725 --> 00:44:23,957
And what sort of salary would
the defendant then have received?
737
00:44:24,095 --> 00:44:26,621
We planned to raise
Pete to at least 60,000.
738
00:44:26,764 --> 00:44:29,199
From ten to sixty.
739
00:44:29,333 --> 00:44:31,996
Thank you. No further questions.
740
00:44:35,006 --> 00:44:37,475
Mr. Newburgh, you say Phillips
741
00:44:37,608 --> 00:44:40,476
received 100,000
and Gervaert 40 more.
742
00:44:40,611 --> 00:44:44,673
That would be a total of $140,000 a
year that you paid to the same man?
743
00:44:44,815 --> 00:44:46,875
Well, if you put
it that way, yes.
744
00:44:47,018 --> 00:44:49,510
But we certainly had no idea
that Phillips was Gervaert, too.
745
00:44:49,654 --> 00:44:53,455
Your Honor, I would like to
recall a previous witness...
746
00:44:53,591 --> 00:44:55,890
- Now, just a moment...
- to clarify an earlier point
747
00:44:56,027 --> 00:44:58,553
and a possible new motive
for murder, Your Honor.
748
00:44:59,864 --> 00:45:02,197
But I already said I
handled Phillips' taxes.
749
00:45:02,266 --> 00:45:04,599
As well as the returns
for Otto Gervaert?
750
00:45:04,735 --> 00:45:07,637
Certainly not. I never even
knew there was such a creature.
751
00:45:07,772 --> 00:45:10,173
But you did make out tax
returns for Gabe Phillips
752
00:45:10,308 --> 00:45:12,402
on a gross income
of over a $100,000.
753
00:45:12,543 --> 00:45:15,479
There were a great many
deductions, of course.
754
00:45:15,613 --> 00:45:17,707
Business expenses and so on.
755
00:45:17,848 --> 00:45:21,182
No matter how much he earned, the way Gabe
spent money, he never ended up with much.
756
00:45:21,319 --> 00:45:24,949
Would you say it was more advantageous
for a man to take his deductions
757
00:45:25,089 --> 00:45:27,991
from a $100,000 income
or a $40,000 income?
758
00:45:28,125 --> 00:45:29,650
I don't understand.
759
00:45:29,794 --> 00:45:31,057
Don't you?
760
00:45:31,195 --> 00:45:34,495
I thought everyone was aware that the
higher the income, the greater the tax.
761
00:45:34,632 --> 00:45:36,760
Oh, well, yes, but...
762
00:45:36,901 --> 00:45:40,668
So wouldn't it be obvious that if Otto
Gervaert had any deductible expenses,
763
00:45:40,805 --> 00:45:44,833
he'd save money by writing them
off on Gabe Phillips' income tax?
764
00:45:44,976 --> 00:45:47,241
No. No, that's not possible.
765
00:45:47,378 --> 00:45:51,611
Mr. Montrose, Phillips had quite a
number of employees, did he not?
766
00:45:51,749 --> 00:45:54,548
A certain of the artists on
Zingy worked for the syndicate.
767
00:45:54,685 --> 00:45:57,052
Yes, there were a few
whom Gabe paid direct...
768
00:45:57,188 --> 00:45:59,089
Some full, some part time.
769
00:45:59,223 --> 00:46:03,217
I show you this photostat of
Phillips' tax return for last year...
770
00:46:03,294 --> 00:46:06,890
The separate schedule here...
And ask you to read this list of names.
771
00:46:07,031 --> 00:46:07,647
I don't see...
772
00:46:07,671 --> 00:46:09,431
Just read the names,
please, Mr. Montrose.
773
00:46:10,735 --> 00:46:13,170
Gabe gave money to Pete Manders,
774
00:46:13,304 --> 00:46:15,364
Joseph Sullivan, Jeremy Stark
775
00:46:15,506 --> 00:46:19,034
and Alexander Glovatski.
776
00:46:23,814 --> 00:46:25,715
$500.
777
00:46:25,850 --> 00:46:27,910
Just 500 paltry dollars.
778
00:46:28,052 --> 00:46:29,816
For what, Mr. Glovatski?
779
00:46:29,954 --> 00:46:32,947
Like the man said,
this Phillips hired artists.
780
00:46:33,090 --> 00:46:34,922
But you're a sculptor,
not a cartoonist.
781
00:46:35,059 --> 00:46:38,791
There is a difference, I
grant that, but only that.
782
00:46:38,929 --> 00:46:41,797
And you just said you
never heard of Gabe Phillips.
783
00:46:41,932 --> 00:46:45,391
Very well. I repudiate myself.
784
00:46:45,536 --> 00:46:48,938
Mr. Glovatski,
you are under oath,
785
00:46:49,073 --> 00:46:51,269
and I'm quite sure you
understand what that means.
786
00:46:51,409 --> 00:46:54,402
Now, who paid you that money?
Otto Gervaert or Gabe Phillips?
787
00:46:54,545 --> 00:46:58,277
It was Gervaert. A donation
to keep sculpture alive.
788
00:46:58,416 --> 00:47:01,250
You mean a donation to
keep blackmail alive, don't you?
789
00:47:01,385 --> 00:47:03,911
Now, you knew about
his double identity.
790
00:47:03,988 --> 00:47:07,425
Isn't that why you were so anxious that
his body not be found in Port Harmony?
791
00:47:08,459 --> 00:47:10,758
Yes. Say any name you want.
792
00:47:10,895 --> 00:47:14,297
You also took other
payments from him.
793
00:47:14,432 --> 00:47:17,402
You were the one person in town
who knew Otto Gervaert's secret.
794
00:47:18,669 --> 00:47:20,729
You were the one person
795
00:47:20,871 --> 00:47:22,339
whose only source of income
796
00:47:22,473 --> 00:47:24,374
would've ended with
his leaving for Majorca.
797
00:47:24,508 --> 00:47:26,875
No! No, that's not true!
798
00:47:27,011 --> 00:47:30,038
You must believe. Only
three payments I took.
799
00:47:30,181 --> 00:47:32,241
One for 50, one for $28.
800
00:47:32,383 --> 00:47:34,147
It wasn't my idea... the 500.
801
00:47:34,285 --> 00:47:36,151
Otto himself said the
government would pay.
802
00:47:36,287 --> 00:47:38,085
His own money was being saved.
803
00:47:38,222 --> 00:47:40,088
But as Phillips, he
could pay anything.
804
00:47:40,224 --> 00:47:42,784
I saw him myself making
notes with his taxes.
805
00:47:42,927 --> 00:47:45,089
He said his tax man
would arrange it all.
806
00:47:45,229 --> 00:47:46,891
The man who handled
all of his accounts.
807
00:47:47,031 --> 00:47:49,296
His tax man would
take care of everything.
808
00:47:49,433 --> 00:47:51,299
All right! Yes! I arranged it!
809
00:47:51,435 --> 00:47:54,667
And Gervaert's tax returns,
Mr. Montrose. You arranged those also?
810
00:47:54,805 --> 00:47:56,671
Of course I did. I set
up the whole thing.
811
00:47:56,807 --> 00:47:58,752
But please, Your Honor, I
couldn't incriminate myself.
812
00:47:58,776 --> 00:48:00,210
I couldn't admit to tax fraud.
813
00:48:00,344 --> 00:48:02,506
But you can admit to
murder, isn't that right?
814
00:48:03,514 --> 00:48:06,643
Unless, of course, you can explain
where the bulk of Gervaert's money went.
815
00:48:06,784 --> 00:48:11,017
Or is that the question he asked you
when he suddenly decided to go to Majorca?
816
00:48:11,155 --> 00:48:14,751
Now, what happened to all that money
he expected to live on, Mr. Montrose?
817
00:48:14,892 --> 00:48:17,657
I can't tell you any
more than I could tell him.
818
00:48:17,795 --> 00:48:21,254
I begged him for time.
I needed time, but he...
819
00:48:22,366 --> 00:48:24,995
Yes, you're... you're right.
820
00:48:25,136 --> 00:48:27,833
I killed the two-headed monster.
821
00:48:33,711 --> 00:48:36,943
All right, Perry. Who was really
murdered, Phillips or Gervaert?
822
00:48:37,081 --> 00:48:38,913
- Both of them.
- Both of them?
823
00:48:39,049 --> 00:48:42,178
That was the key to the whole
business. Outside of a harmless sculptor,
824
00:48:42,319 --> 00:48:45,289
Monty was the only man who
knew all about the dual existence.
825
00:48:45,423 --> 00:48:47,255
And the two separate incomes.
826
00:48:47,391 --> 00:48:50,520
When Phillips suddenly wanted the
savings from those two separate incomes
827
00:48:50,661 --> 00:48:52,323
for his retirement to Majorca,
828
00:48:52,463 --> 00:48:55,160
well, Monty either had
to produce or else kill him.
829
00:48:55,299 --> 00:48:57,291
But he killed him
as Otto Gervaert.
830
00:48:57,435 --> 00:48:59,802
He thought that a dead
artist from Port Harmony
831
00:48:59,937 --> 00:49:03,066
could never be connected to a man
supposedly on his way to Majorca.
832
00:49:03,140 --> 00:49:06,372
So he faked that phone call to lure
Phillips up here, and you know the rest.
833
00:49:06,510 --> 00:49:09,708
Hey, that explains why Monty was so
shook up when he found Gabe in the garage.
834
00:49:09,847 --> 00:49:12,476
I was wondering when you
were going to remember that.
